The process for initiating a possible $35.5 million dollar state budget curtailment officially got underway today, after the LePage administration's chief finance officer formally notified the governor of the need to immediately address the revenue shortfall. Gov. Paul LePage will be reviewing his options this week, and could issue an exectuive order to begin the process of reducing state spending to keep the budget balanced. Democratic leaders say they want the governor to consider all budget options. But Republicans are recommending curtailment as the best solution. A,J. Higgins has more.

It's hard to predict how the governor's possible curtailment order will take shape. But it's clear to Sawin Millett, the governor's chief finance officer, that immediate action is needed to deal with a $35.5 million budget gap that state revenue forecasters predict will open up over the next seven months.
"My recommendation is, in writing to the governor, that I feel steps need to be taken soon to assure that we not get further and further into the fiscal year and find ourselves in the difficult position of not having as much latitude or opportunity to lower and slow down spending," Millett said today at an Augusta news conference.
Often regarded as a blunt instrument for achieving budget goals, a curtailment by executive order affects numerous General Fund allocations. The guiding goal governing the process, Millett says, is fairness. Under a curtailment, he says, the administration can't cherry pick areas it perceives as ripe for reduction.
"The law does require that the curtailment not only be temporary, but be equitable, and that it not terminate any programs; and that further, it must, if done, show the effect of any curtailment upon each and every cost center and allotment that is curtailed," he says. "The purpose of those latter two is to make sure that we are staying consistent with the intent of the Legislature, and the budgeted program spending levels and what underlies those programs by statute, and so on."
In a statement, LePage says that Maine is facing its own fiscal cliff as it prepares to balance its budget. The governor also says he's beginning to assess his options. But his communications director, Adrienne Bennett, said the administration would not speculate on what areas might be cut.
"It would be premature at this point to talk about any of the so-called low-lying fruit or options on the table before we talk with everyone that is involved with this process," Bennett said.
Among those involved are the Democratic and Republican leaders of the Legislature. Senate Majority Leader Seth Goodall of Richmond said Democrats have not met with the governor since last month's elections returned his party to power in the House and Senate.
He says such a meeting is scheduled for Tuesday and that Democrats are anxious to share their views with the LePage administration on what shape a possible curtailment order might take.
"I think the important thing is to make sure that we start working together now," Goodall says. "Because even though there's not a budget bill in front of us there's many things that we can do, whether it be working closely with the governor, or working with legislative leadership on both sides of ther aisle to solve these problems. It's a big challenge when we have a supplemental budget that we know is coming -- the curtailment order is allowed under law, but most importantly is that if we get working togerther, all get around a table, we can solve these problems."
Republican House Minority Leader Ken Fredette says Republicans favor quick action by the governor in order to save as much state funds as possible under a curtailment order.
"And so to the extent that it is a revenue related problem, we would support curtailment at this time because, quite frankly, we're really coming up on half of the fiscal year having expired, that we're going to have only six months within wich to solve the much larger problem, which will be the supplemental budget," Fredette says.
If the governor issues the curtailment order this week, he will immediately issue a notice detailing how the budget reductions will be implemented.

An official briefed on the investigation tells The Associated Press that a wallet with a California driver's license with the name Christopher Dorner has been found in the rubble of a cabin.
A charred body was also found inside after a shootout and fire.
Authorities believe the remains are those of the former Los Angeles police officer, but they have not been formally identified.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity because of the ongoing investigation and says the charred body and personal items were found in the basement of the burned cabin. The area is in the San Bernardino Mountains east of Los Angeles.
Investigators will attempt to determine if the remains are Dorner's through forensic tests.
Thousands of officers had been on the hunt for the former Navy reservist since police said he launched a campaign to exact revenge against the Los Angeles Police Department for his firing.
In the shootout before the fire at the cabin, two sheriff's deputies were shot, one fatally. Dorner is also suspected of earlier killing a young couple and a police officer, and wounding two other officers.
Police had been searching the snow-covered woods near Big Bear Lake, a resort town about 80 miles east of Los Angeles, after Dorner's truck was found late last week.

I'm looking for an "anti-brightness" screen for my laptop.
i'm not sure if I necessarily want an anti-glare screen, as my issue is the glare from the screen itself, not from any reflections of outside light on the screen.
I suppose i'm looking for a tinted thing..
about 15.6" diagonal
about 344.5mm wide
195mm high
a 16:9 screen
Without wanting to sound rude, what is the issue with the screen that simply turning down the brightness won't achieve? Is it too bright at minimum brightness?
It is of course too bright at minimum brightness that is why I ask my question
Sure, I ask because "my laptop is not bright enough" is a much more common issue, "my laptop is too bright" much less so. What model of laptop is it?
It sounds like you're after a neutral density filter, something like this except self adhesive. I'm not aware of where you'd get such a thing, though.
A pair of sunglasses is probably an easier option, unless you already wear glasses for vision correction.
Might be time to switch to a Thinkpad. Those matte screens are comfortable for many, many, many hours of reading and can be dimmed to low levels.
They make privacy screens, almost all of which inherently reduce brightness a decent amount too... maybe worth a try?
Unfortunately being privacy screens they restrict viewing angles by design, too. If you don't want that, some sort of plain film that reduces light transmission might be better. I'm just not as sure what kind of product there would be preferable... all the automotive ones I can think of wouldn't really work as they're meant to be a (mostly) permanent bond to glass, and you probably want something removable...
http://www.amazon.com/3M-Privacy-Filter ... B002IE4TVW
or you could check out F.lux - http://stereopsis.com/flux/
I recommend wearing sunglasses.
OMG i have someone at my freaking workplace with this condition. The Screen "hurts my eyes". They have brightness down to 10% and contrast at 0.
You need a Matte screen rather than glossy. Glossy even if you don't think you're getting reflective light. You are.
steeghost, I contacted the guy at the link you mention for the neutral density filter.
I got it some weeks ago, they were great, they sent me a vinyl sheet that reduces the brightness.
I can cut it down and either see if it sticks naturally, I think it will, or if not then I could tape it on with a bit on the sides. But i'm not bothered about aesthetics, i've just taken a sheet bigger than I needed and draped it over the screen and it has made my laptop usable without it hurting my eyes, which is what I was looking for.
(my other laptop-panasonic toughbook- is naturally nice it goes dim enough at its lowest.. but my samsung i5 is very bright even at its dimmest, and this sheet makes it usable for me)
Here are some pics where to try to demonstrate the difference in brightness. I've taken a picture with the vinyl sheet draped over half the screen. The camera doesn't show the light in the room as is, (it's not a brightly lit room but it's not quite as dark as the pics make it), but it shows the contrast with and without the vinyl sheet.
other links with the image
I do not use software as I prefer the sheet. But somebody mentioned software to dim it. I tried software before I got this vinyl sheet. One piece of software I tried let me go dimmer than windows natively let me, but it crashed and when it crashed I had to close it and reopen it, which meant Bam lots of brightness. Andrew, the one you suggested made the screen go yellow. The best software I found was called "dimmer", let me go dimmer than windows natively does, and if i recall it didn't crash, but it doesn't dim the taskbar. And, if I recall, when I used it with deskpins, the window pinned on top was not dimmed.

Glad it worked out for you!

Where had you encountered "neutral density filters/films"?!
In a photography context - they are used to reduce the amount of light entering the camera when the environment is too bright to otherwise achieve the photographic effect you're after.

Do you remember which density level it was?

I don't know. I just called them up, told them the purpose, the guy sent it. He's seen it used also to dim LED lights on the laptop at night. So he just knew what density level to send.
I like the film I have. My eyes don't hurt using it now. But I suppose I wouldn't mind trying a darker one, because I like things dark or not more bright than necessary, and if it was "too dark", I could always turn the brightness up on the laptop. This laptop even on lowest brightness and with film, is not so dark. And on lowest brightness without the film, is pretty bright so if I turn the brightness up it's almost like looking directly into a flashlight, it's hard to imagine any film being too dark if I put the brightness up- which i'd never do! Which film is ideal would also depend on what laptop one has - its brightness -, the brightness of the room, and the person's light sensitivity and preferences.

Cubs On Pace For 96 Losses
The Cubs finish the first half (37-55), with the second most losses in the NL.
That puts them on pace for a (65-96) campaign, meaning in all likelihood, Chicago will challenge Houston for the Central's basement while finishing behind Pittsburgh.
Unforgivable for the major's third highest payroll.
Changes are inevitable as the trade deadline approaches. But the direction Jim Hendry takes will be interesting.
The Cubs are seemingly without a plan, leaving us to speculate whether Hendry will trade away quality veterans or piece together minor trades in hopes of contending in 2012.
If Hendry's to make a big-splash by making tough deals in parting with veterans such as Dempster, Garza, Marmol, Ramirez, Wood..ect…the Cubs will be asked to eat serious money…especially for Zambrano and Soriano.
If Ricketts gives the go-ahead to eat salary, at least we'll know he's putting his money where his mouth is–doing whatever necessary to win.
The biggest question mark, however, is Hendry's future with the organization. Leaving Hendry's job security up in the air makes for a desperate GM who's bound to make desperate decisions. And that has the potential for another hot-mess season in 2012.
The best benefit of the All Star break is a rest for Chicago's weary bullpen. The relievers pitched 24 innings over the recent seven-game road trip.
That, of course, has been the kind of heavy workload needed the entire first half, which is certain to take its toll over the final 70 games given the fact the Cubs are (9-30) in games started by pitchers other than Garza, Dempster and Zambrano.

The votes cast by state Sen. Angela Giron in support of tougher gun laws now have the Pueblo lawmaker faced with a looming fall election date as organizers Monday amassed enough valid signatures in their recall effort.
Only about 6 percent of the signatures submitted in Giron's recall effort were deemed invalid by the Colorado secretary of state's office — a striking percentage that her opponents said showed strong support for their cause.
Organizers with Pueblo Freedom and Rights submitted more than 13,400 signatures to the Colorado secretary of state's office and had 12,648 verified. They needed about 11,300 verified for a recall election and outpaced that figure by about 1,300.
Giron becomes the second Democrat in less than a week — along with Senate President John Morse — who now must deal with a recall election for passing laws that limit ammunition magazines of more than 15 rounds and require universal background checks on all gun sales and transfers.
"We fully expected to have enough signatures verified," said Victor Head, president of Pueblo Freedom and Rights.
Giron could not be reached for comment Monday. She is expected to contest the signatures verified by the secretary of state's office.
Head, along with about 80 volunteers, said organizers went to the Pueblo County clerk and recorder and picked up an active voter registry of Giron's Senate District 3.
"From there we plugged it into an Excel spread sheet and were able to on-the-spot recognize if a signer lived in the district and was registered," Head said. "We were doing the work of the secretary of state before they even received the signatures. ... We knew what would be valid and what would not."
Giron's Senate District 3 leans heavily Democratic. According to the most recent voter registration totals, it consists of about 34,000 Democrats, 17,300 Republicans and 18,000 unaffiliated voters.
"The signatures verified clearly shows a lot of passion in her district," said political analyst Floyd Ciruli. "And in a recall election, there's going to be low turnout, which raises questions if she can get her supporters out there."
Ciruli notes that Giron is married to Pueblo City Council President Steve Nawrocki.
"This will be a major fight," Ciruli said. "In Pueblo she's tied into the political circles and can get out her message and quite possibly the vote."
Since the recall effort began in Giron's district in April, she's remained steadfast that Democrats passed "common sense" gun laws that are supported by the majority of her constituents.
Not far from Giron's district, Morse is also the subject of a recall election in his Senate District 11.
Organizers looking to throw the Colorado Springs Democrat from office had more than enough signatures validated to spark a recall election in his southern Colorado district. The secretary of state's office last week verified 10,137 signatures when recall organizers needed only about 7,100 signatures for a recall election.
The 6 percent of the signatures submitted in Giron's recall effort that were deemed invalid are a stark contrast to the 37 percent of the signatures submitted for Morse's recall that were rejected by the secretary of state.
Morse's now disputed recall effort is headed for a hearing before the secretary of state's office Thursday. Morse supporters are looking to have all the signatures nullified because they say organizers didn't use certain Constitutional language when gathering signatures on petitions. The contest could land in district court.
If both recall efforts move forward, Morse and Giron would be the first ever Colorado lawmakers to face a recall.

After our quick trip to Key West, we drove about 4 hours back to Miami and stayed for an extra couple days in the super cool The Standard Miami hotel. Betty and I thought it would be cool to do a fun little shoot with our bathing suits.. but with a bit more styling involved. Props, sneakers, cool jacket, jewels.. that kinda thing.
Initially, I wanted to do 3-4 looks with bathing suits but a few things got in the way so we were only able to pull one look off. The outcome? A cool girl enjoying life.
Tip: Next time you go on a mini vacay to the beach, make sure to style up your bathing suit and have a mini photoshoot! You'll have a blast!
Thanks to my lovely betty for the photos- loved them!

Miami-Dade County prosecutors said DVDs of about 10 hours of video will be made public Wednesday afternoon.
The video was sought by The Associated Press and other media organizations under Florida's public records law.

Attorneys for the 19-year-old singer persuaded a judge to review the sensitive sections, including four clips depicting Bieber urinating in a cup for a drug test.
Bieber has pleaded not guilty to driving under the influence, resisting arrest and invalid-license charges. Police stopped him Jan. 23 after what they said was an illegal street drag race involving exotic cars.
Bieber bodyguard faces court date in Atlanta
SANDY SPRINGS, Georgia (AP) — A bodyguard for pop singer Justin Bieber faces a court date on a felony charge of entering a photographer's automobile in suburban Atlanta.
Fulton County sheriff's spokeswoman Tracy Flanagan says 32-year-old Hugo Hesny of Davie, Fla., is scheduled to make his first appearance at 11 a.m. Thursday in Atlanta, though she said it's possible that could be moved up.
Sandy Springs police Capt. Steve Rose said in a statement that Bieber was at an entertainment complex in the city just north of Atlanta on Tuesday evening when Hesny got into a confrontation with a photographer he said had gotten too close to the singer.

Rose says Hesny and a driver for Bieber followed the photographer to a parking lot. Police say the camera was taken from the photographer and later recovered.

THIS year's Gazette Jobs, Careers and Recruitment Exhibition was bigger and better than ever.
More than 700 people attended the exhibition, which this year, due to past demand, was held in two rooms in Colchester's Town Hall - the Grand Jury Room and Moot Hall.
As usual, the exhibition had everything under one roof for those seeking advice on full, part-time and further education courses, career advice. For those looking for a job, there was a number of recruitment agencies on hand.
Businesses at the fair included sponsors of the event - Thera Group, TBG Learning, BCT Consortium, ENS Recruitment, npower, Family Mosaic, Care UK, Remploy, Avon, Job Centre Plus, Bairstow Eves, Secure Health, Essex Social Care Professionals and Careforce.
For those looking to be part of a team - the Army and Essex Police were on hand to discuss the numerous positions available.
CVquest - a recruitment service from the Gazette - was also on hand offering people the chance to add their details to the CVquest site.
Ginette May, recruitment manager for Newsquest, said: "Both halls have been very successful and exhibitors are very pleased. We had an extremely good quantity and quality of candidates.
"CVquest in particular did extremely well today. At least 30 CVs will be uploaded onto the website so companies can look for potential employees."
Sponsor of the event, the Thera Group, was also extremely pleased with the response it had at the exhibition.
Exhibitor, Steve Raw, of Thera Group, said: "It's been excellent, we've had people complete application forms as they look through information. We have a number of people that we will be able to process applications for."
This is the first Gazette Jobs, Careers and Recruitment Exhibition the Thera Group has attended, but it did attend the Chelmsford Weekly News - the Gazette's sister paper - Jobs, Careers and Training Exhibition in January.
Mr Raw added: "We attended one jobs, careers and recruitment exhibition in Chelmsford, but this is the first one in Colchester. Chelmsford was a success but this is a greater success."
Thank you to all those who attended the Jobs, Careers and Training Exhibition, and a special thank you to sponsors Thera Group.
The next Gazette Jobs, Careers and Training Exhibition, will be held later this year on September 11. Anyone wishing to exhibit contact the Gazette's recruitment team on 01268 533246.

Last week Ohio offensive lineman Sean Welsh was in Houston to play in the Offense-Defense All-American Bowl. We caught up with the Iowa commit to talk about the all-star game experience, other schools recruiting him, what he has heard from the Hawkeye coaches recently, and much more.Q: What was the whole experience like for you last week playing in the all-star game?WELSH: It was a lot of fun. I met a lot of great people and had a great time. It was fun challenging myself going up against the kind of talent that was there and seeing what it's like to play at that level.Q: Did you end up playing right guard mostly or did you kind of move around?WELSH: I kind of moved around because we only had three guards, so we had a rotation. I moved from right guard to left guard quite a bit and did all right.Q: How did that transition go after playing tackle mostly in high school?WELSH: To be honest, for me, guard is a lot easier than tackle because you have a lot less space to work with. It was closer quarters, so it kind of limits the defensive guy as far as where he can go, but when you're out on the edge he has a lot of room to work with. I enjoy going head to head with guys where if they want to beat me, they have to go straight through me, so it was fun. ...More... To continue reading this article you must be a member. Sign Up Now!

Topoisomerase Inhibitors for Chemotherapy
Topoisomerase I inhibitors
|Generic Name
|Brand Name
Topoisomerase II inhibitors
|Generic Name
|Brand Name
Topoisomerase (say "toh-poh-eye-SAHM-uh-rays") inhibitors are chemotherapy medicines used to treat several types of cancers, including testicular cancer, leukemia, and some lung cancers.
How It Works
Topoisomerase inhibitors interfere with enzymes called topoisomerases. This affects the growth of cancer cells and causes them to die.
Why It Is Used
Topoisomerase inhibitors slow or stop the growth of cancer cells in the body.
Irinotecan is often used in combination with other chemotherapy drugs, making the other drugs more effective than they are by themselves.1
How Well It Works
Topoisomerase inhibitors are effective antitumor medicines. But the type and extent of a cancer determines how effectively these medicines slow or stop the growth of cancer cells in the body.
Side Effects
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine you take. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with your medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
- Usually the benefits of the medicine are more important than any minor side effects.
- Side effects may go away after you take the medicine for a while.
- If side effects still bother you and you wonder if you should keep taking the medicine, call your doctor. He or she may be able to lower your dose or change your medicine. Do not suddenly quit taking your medicine unless your doctor tells you to.
Call 911 or other emergency services right away if you have:
- Trouble breathing or tightness in your throat.
- Swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
- A fast heartbeat or sweating.
Call your doctor right away if you have:
- Hives.
- Fever, chills, body aches, or other flu symptoms.
- Severe diarrhea with fever or stomach pain.
- Unusual tiredness or weakness.
- Black, tarry stools or blood in your stools.
- Blood in your urine or painful urination (with fever or chills).
- White patches or sores inside your mouth or on your lips, or other signs of infection.
Taking topoisomerase inhibitors can increase your chances of getting an infection, so do your best to stay away from sick people. It may also keep your blood from clotting normally, so be very careful when using sharp objects.
Common side effects of this medicine include:
- Loss of appetite, nausea, or vomiting.
- Muscle aches and muscle cramps.
- Diarrhea.
- Constipation.
Treatment with topoisomerase II inhibitors (such as etoposide) can increase your risk for getting acute myelogenous leukemia (AML).
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
What To Think About
These medicines can affect your blood cells and your liver function. Your doctor will check your blood cell counts and your liver function while you are taking these medicines.
Talk to your doctor before taking these medicines if you have an infection or kidney or liver disease. And let your doctor know if you have had shingles or chickenpox (or have recently been exposed to chickenpox).
You may not be able to get pregnant or father a child after taking these medicines. Discuss fertility with your doctor before starting treatment.
While you are taking this medicine, don't get any "live" vaccines. Also, stay away from anyone who has recently had a live vaccine.
Women taking this medicine may experience menopausal symptoms, including hot flashes and vaginal dryness.
Taking medicine
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
Advice for women
Do not use this medicine if you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant. If you need to use this medicine, talk to your doctor about how you can prevent pregnancy.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.

In this article
Which food and drink can I have when I'm eating out?Now you're pregnant, eating out may not be as straightforward as it used to be. As you peruse the menu, you'll probably wonder which foods are safe for you to eat.
Naturally, you'll want to relax while you're out. Many restaurants make this easy, offering plenty of choices for pregnant women. If you are unsure about any dishes on the menu, ask exactly what they contain and how they have been cooked. If a waiter seems uncertain, ask him to double-check.
If you're going to friends' for dinner, let them know you need to be careful about what you eat now you're pregnant. Tell friends in advance which foods are suitable, so they don't prepare a treat everyone else can tuck into, but you can't.
Here's what to watch out for:
Dishes containing raw eggs
Desserts, sauces or mayonnaise may contain raw eggs (FSA. nd. c). Uncooked eggs may carry salmonella bacteria, which can cause food poisoning (FSA. nd. d). Salmonella poisoning will not directly harm your baby, but it'll make you very ill and dehydrated. That won't be good for either you or your baby.
Chilled soufflés, mousses and ice cream may be made with raw egg. And if tiramisu is your favourite dessert, check it's free of raw eggs before you tuck in. Crème brulees and caramel custards are fine, because the eggs are cooked.
Uncooked, rare or cured meat
Parma ham, salami and raw meat may contain salmonella and a parasite which causes toxoplasmosis (NCCWCH 2008). Toxoplasmosis infection, though rare, may harm your unborn baby.
If you are having steak, ask to have it well done. Any cooked meat you have should have clear-running juices. Also, ask about any sauces that come with the meat. For example, freshly made hollandaise sauce contains raw eggs.
Liver pate, and even vegetable pate, is off limits. Liver pate contains the type of vitamin A (retinol) which can harm your unborn baby. And all pates may contain listeria bacteria (NCCWCH 2008), which can cause an infection that's harmful to your baby.
Uncooked seafood or raw fish
Uncooked seafood or raw fish can cause food poisoning (FSA nd a). Sushi is fine, as long as it has been frozen beforehand (FSA nd b).
If you want peace of mind, go for cooked dishes, such as grilled sardines or prawns. Don't be tempted by exotic fish such as such as shark, swordfish and marlin, though (NCCWCH 2008). Even if they're well cooked, these could be harmful to your unborn baby, because they contain mercury.
If you're opting for tuna, bear in mind that two fresh steaks a week is your limit. Ask for your tuna steak to be well-cooked.
If you fancy a cheese course, you'll be getting plenty of calcium, which is good for you and your baby. But watch out for soft, mould-ripened and blue-veined cheeses (Whitley 2001).
The official line of the government is that you should steer clear of alcohol completely during pregnancy (DH 2016). Other experts recommend that you avoid it at least for the first trimester, when drinking increases the risk of miscarriage (NICE 2008). If you do decide to drink after that, be sure not to have more than one or two units, once or twice a week (NHS 2013). You may prefer to play it safe by sticking to soft drinks.
After your meal, if you fancy a coffee, work out how much caffeine you've already had that day. You're advised to limit your daily caffeine intake to no more than 200mg (NCCWCH 2008). Caffeine is also in tea, cola and energy drinks, and chocolate.
Your limit of 200mg would be up already if you'd had two coffees during the day. You could have decaffeinated coffee, or a mint tea, which is a great digestive.
If you are struggling to eat normal portions, ask for a couple of starters instead of a main meal and starter, or ask for a starter-sized portion of a main course. If desserts are your real weakness, ask for two spoons and share.
The last thing you want is heartburn ruining your evening out. If you tend to have hearburn after a meal, don't choose anything too spicy or fatty.
How can I eat when I'm on the move?It's easy to slip into unhealthy eating habits when you're on a journey. Whether you are getting to work, out for the day or off on holiday, convenience often comes first.
By planning ahead you can make sure you have healthy food to hand. Don't skip meals. Even short journeys can run down your energy levels. The stress of rush-hour traffic or crowded trains can really take its toll. So make time for a meal in the morning before you set out, and pop a few snacks in your bag.
Foods such as apples, dried fruit or nuts are easy to carry and don't lose their appeal after a few hours at the bottom of your bag. If you are going on a longer journey, pack a lunch the night before.
Watch that you don't become dehydrated if you are stuck in a hot train or on a plane. Keep water or fruit juice handy.
What can I eat on holiday?A little sunshine and relaxation is a lovely idea, and even more so when you are pregnant. Check with your doctor and your airline company before you travel if you are planning to fly.
Here are some tips to help you enjoy food while you are abroad:
- Be sure about what you're eating. If you are abroad and your vocabulary is not up to decoding the menu, be extra cautious.
- Be wary of what you buy from stalls and markets. Don't buy unwashed fruit and vegetables and meat snacks. The meat might be only semi-cooked.
- Even if you are having a slap-up meal each evening, don't miss breakfast or skip lunch. You and your baby need regular energy boosts. You won't feel great if you try to do too much sightseeing on an empty stomach.
- If you are craving something in particular, take it with you. Then you won't have to scour local shops when you should be enjoying yourself.
- Drink plenty of water so you don't get dehydrated. You need at least six to eight glasses of water a day, plus other drinks. Find out what the local water supply is like, and, if in doubt, drink still, bottled water. Carbonated water can make heartburn worse.

Top 10 ways to see alternative royal London
12:43 17 June 2012
(c) copyright citizenside.com
After the pomp and ceremony of the Diamond Jubilee, DK Travel suggests 10 less obvious ways to see royal London.
1. Queen Anne's Gate: A delightful small Westminster street with a statue of the queen who gave her name to a style of furniture.
2. The Old Vic, The Cut: In 1833 the former Royal Coburg Theatre was renamed the Royal Victoria in honour of the future queen. The handsome Georgian facade has changed little since 1816.
3. Princess of Wales Pub: Several London pubs changed their name to remember Diana, Princess of Wales.The Princess of Wales pub in Blackheath, however, served as changing room for the first ever England v Wales rugby international played on the heath in 1881.
4. Albert Bridge: Prehaps not the grandest of Prince Albert's London legacies, but probably the prettiest. Lit by 4,000 bulbs at night, the bridge re-opened in December 2011 after extensive renovations.
5. Duke of York Steps: A statue of the Grand Old Duke of York subject of the nursery rhyme is elevated above these steps off Pall Mall.
6. Queen's Chapel, Marlborough Road: This exquisite work of architect Inigo Jones was built for Charles I's wife Henrietta Maria in 1627. The interior of the chapel, with its wonderful Annibale Carraci altarpiece and glorious 17th-century fittings, is open to worshippers and visitors in spring and early summer.
7. Victoria Gate Pet Cemetery: In a corner of Hyde Park over 300 beloved Victorian pets lie in this cemetery founded in 1880 by George, Duke of Cambridge after his wife's favourite dog was run over.
8. Bushy Park, Hampton: The least obvious of the Royal Parks, Bushy is at its best in spring when the trees on Chestnut Avenue are in blossom. During the First and Second World Wars areas of the park were given over to "Dig for Victory" fruit and veg production.
9. Grosvenor Square, Mayfair: The hub of high society from the early 18th century until the Second World War, this is the only London square owned by the Crown.
10. Ede & Ravenscroft, Chancery Lane: Tailors and robe makers of choice for 12 coronations and official robe maker to the Queen, Prince Philip and Prince Charles. Peruse their collection of classy ties and perfect your Windsor Knot.

U of I Lounge
Krannert Center is loaded with experiences that you might not expect. Need a new late-night scene? Check out the eclectic mix of Afterglow performances that start around 9pm. Make connections with your fellow students as they perform in College of Fine and Applied Arts productions like Studiodance I, Polaroid Stories, and Into the Woods. Or see what else they're up to at Dance at Illinois, Illinois Theatre, and Lyric Theatre @ Illinois. Plus you can eat, shop, take advantage of the quiet study spaces, use the wifi, relax, meet friends, and hang out. You may catch a soundcheck and decide to stick around for the concert or spy a dance flash mob right as it kicks off.
See a Show
A trip to the Center makes for a surprisingly cheap date. You probably know that you get deep discounts on tickets (a ticket to nearly any performance is $10 or less), but have you heard about Hot Seats? These tickets to select events are reserved just for U of I students. To check on Hot Seat availability, feel free to email us at firstname.lastname@example.com, call 217/333-6280 or 800/KCPATIX (527-2849), or visit the Ticket Office from 10am to 6pm every day (yes, that's Monday-Sunday). Maybe you can surprise someone with tickets or slip over here on your own.
Be sure to peruse the offerings at Intermezzo for breakfast, lunch, and dinner or dessert before and after performances. Our reasonably priced lunch menu offers a tasty break from your studies. To celebrate acing that final—or just getting through it—indulge in a slice of heavenly cake. Or grab an organic yogurt. That's comfort food too. Before you take your seat inside the theatre, you can stop in at Intermezzo, place an order, and find it ready for devouring at intermission or after the performance is over. Simple and quick.
Forgot your best friend's birthday? Get to Promenade, Krannert Center's fun and funky store, for goodies you won't find anywhere else in town. Promenade stocks greeting cards, toys, jewelry, gadgets, specialty candy, scarves, and more—from elegant to quirky and from serious to playful. Whether you're on the hunt for a tiny surprise to brighten someone's day or an exceptional gift, this shop right inside the Lobby doors has options to fit any budget.
Free Stuff
And to help stretch your student budget a bit farther, we offer a ton of free stuff, such as noontime Interval concerts—with plenty of activities like mini-massages or craft projects—and 5pm Traffic Jam events in the Lobby; late-night Afterglow concerts; and interactive sessions that invite you to meet face-to-face with performers, directors, conductors, and others who put on the more than 300 performances here each season. Free tours are offered every day at 3pm when classes are in session and will take you behind the scenes, in the wings, and through the lower levels of the building.
Older students can unwind nearly every Thursday during Krannert Uncorked. Live music—often solo singers or small acoustic groups—is featured every two weeks, and local vendors are on hand every time with the latest wine finds, prime vintages, and favorites to be savored. We'll throw in a little cheese and some crackers, and if you add the conversation, you'll have a chance to wind down (or up!) for the weekend.
For even more benefits, you can become a Loop member for just $25. You'll receive invitations to special events just for donors, receive mailings with announcements about free activities and special offers, and enjoy a 10% discount on regularly priced merchandise at Promenade and on lunches at Intermezzo (between 11am and 2pm).
Want a community of friends? Join the Krannert Center Student Association (KCSA) and take part in the arts in Champaign-Urbana. You—and the 300 other members—get to see performances for free by serving as an usher. You gain experience in planning and marketing events, and you can enjoy the many outings and social activities for KCSA members. Go to a meeting, see what the group's like, and get the backstage scoop on productions and events around the Center. Or as a first step, play with the street team for the Krannert Center Ambassadors. These committed arts lovers make connections between Krannert Center and students. If you get on the roster, you'll meet a ton of new people and you might even get some free stuff.
Work with Us
If you're thinking about getting a job that lets you use a power nailer or a thimble, wear all black (or paint-covered jeans) every day, rewards your hours (and hours and hours) of work on chord progressions, or encourages you to stay up into the wee hours, consider a job in the arts. Internships are available in nearly every area of the Center. Graduate students can be awarded assistantships either through their programs of study or because of their knowledge base. So if you have a knack for raising money (maybe you were a champion cookie seller) or can work a boom or think you might like to write ad copy, send us a line with your thoughts or check our employment section—we'd be glad to have you around, and who knows where it might lead?
Become FAA
Many of the students you'll see around the halls in the lower levels, performing onstage, and laboring behind the scenes are in the College of Fine and Applied Arts. They have opportunities to shape landscapes, pioneer technology, create elegant web designs, mount experimental productions, photograph remote regions of the globe, sing classic melodies, move in ways they imagined they could someday, practice ancient arts, develop new forms of expression, build cities, and curate art exhibitions.

ABA'S Top 10 Money Management Tips for College Students - Personal Finance: 101
They understand GPAs and test scores but do they understand their credit score or the value of saving? The ABA Education Foundation's top 10 tips are designed to give students an edge on mastering personal finance. Bankers are committed to America's youth and in October on Get Smart About Credit Day many will visit schools and colleges around the country bringing financial education to life with interactive lessons. College students can prepare for the financial side of college with the following tips:
1. You are in charge. You are responsible for your finances and you should act accordingly by creating a realistic budget or plan and sticking to it.
2. Watch Spending. You control your money, determining how you spend or save it. Pace spending and increase saving by cutting unnecessary expenses like eating out or shopping so that your money can last throughout the semester.
3. Use Credit Wisely. Understand the responsibilities and benefits of credit. How you handle your credit in college could affect you well after graduation. Shop around for a card that best suits your needs.
4. Get a Bank Account. Banks are more than money in a vault. They offer valuable services that students can benefit from like check cashing, debit cards, online banking, balance alerts, personal loans, direct deposit, financial education and some offer identity theft protection.
5. Lookout for Money. There's a lot of money available for students, you just have to look for it. Apply for scholarships and look for student discounts.
6. New is Out. Consider buying used books or ordering them online. Buying books can become expensive and often used books are in as good of shape as new ones.
7. Entertain on a Budget. Limit your hanging out fund. There are lots of fun activities to keep you busy in college and most are free to students. Use your meal plan or sample new recipes instead of eating out.
8. Be particular when it comes to money. Don't just trust anyone with your money. Be skeptical of classmates, friends or salespeople that have ideas for your money.
9. Save. Things happen, and it's important that you are financially prepared when your car or computer breaks down or when you have to buy that unexpected bus ticket home. No matter how small the amount you should start putting some money away immediately.
10. Ask. This is a learning experience, so if you need help, ask. Your parents or your banker are a good place to start and remember the sooner the better.
Visit the us online at www.abaef.com for more financial education tips and resources. Learn more about the Get Smart About Credit program or view our press kit. The ABA Education Foundation provides financial education programs and resources that help bankers make their communities better. Nearly 69,000 bankers have taught basic finance skills to almost 3.2 million young people through participation in the Foundation's signature programs, Teach Children to Save and Get Smart About Credit. Founded by bankers in 1925, the foundation is guided by a board of bankers and is an affiliate of the American Bankers Association.

It may be that lobster is Maine's most popular seafood. But there are those who, if forced to choose, would opt instead for the Maine scallop - and more specifically, the diver-harvested scallop. But these delicacies have been under increasing pressure, and landings have been at historic lows in recent years. This week, scallop season opened under a new management system, which sets out a 10-year time-frame designed to restore this highly-valuable fishery. Tom Porter reports.
It's late morning on the opening day of the new scallop season. Andy Mays (above) steams into Blue Hill harbor aboard his boat, the Lost Airmen. For much of the year it's used for lobstering. Today, though, diving gear is piled up on the deck, and Mays is preparing for his third and final dive of the day.
"Some days it's nice - when it's sunny and there's lots of scallops, you get excited," he says. "But 90 percent of the days, it's work. And I enjoy the work. Most of us do. You can't do it if you don't enjoy it, because it sucks."
Mays (right, suiting up for a dive) is 48 years old, a veteran of the Coast Guard, who has been scallop diving for more than 20 years. It's tough work, he says.
"It's dark down there, it's dim," he says. "It's like I've got to swim over the scallops, and I've got my hand in front of my face like this, and it's dim and it's green, or darkish green, and it's cold, and the suit's compressed and it's very claustrophic. So if you're not into that - It's not Kozumel."
After about a half hour of picking scallops off the sea bed some 90 feet beneath the waves, Mays calls it quits because of high winds and poor visibility. Also, seawater has made its way into his dry suit through an open zipper: He's soaking wet and not in the best of moods.
Nevertheless, it's been a fair morning's work. He has about 50 pounds of scallops on board. Andy's assistant, Mike Tinker, separates the edible adductor muscle from the rest of the creature. He offers me one.
Mike Tinker: "Want to try it?"
Tom Porter: "What, raw?"
Mike Tinker: "Yeah."
Tom Porter: "I like scallops. Delicious!"
"The Maine scallop is a different scallop. All scallops might be created equally, but the point of equality ends when it hits the boat," says Togue Brawn. Brawn is owner of Maine Dayboat Scallops. She used to work for the state, managing the fishery, and is a passionate advocate of the Maine scallop.
Far superior, she says, to federally-harvested scallops, these are caught farther out to sea and can be up to two weeks old before they come ashore.
"We have an artisanal fishery - they're bringing in 185 pounds at a time, and they're four hours old when they hit the dock," Brawn says. "It's a pristine product. It's like a rare Bordeaux as opposed to a Barefoot."
And discerning consumers are willing to pay dearly for these morsels. Andy Mays won't say what he gets for his, but Browne Trading Compnay in Portland sells Maine diver-harvested scallops for $35 a pound, according to its Web site. On a good day, Mays says he can reach the daily catch limit of 185 pounds - a good haul, but nothing compared to the hey day of the early 1990s.
Tom Porter: "What was it like then? How was the harvest 20 years ago?"
Andy Mays: "Oh, phenomenal. Our worst day at the end of the season was kind of like what we do now."
But Mays says he's optimistic that new management meaures will help the fishery rebound. State Marine Resources Commissioner Pat Keliher also has high hopes.
"This fishery's a priority. It could be a very valuable fishery - it once was a very valuable fishery to the state of Maine - and I think it can be again if we continue on this course," Keliher says.
The new rules are the result of two years of public input, and dozens of meetings up and down the coast. They divide state waters into three zones, each with its own set of rules. They include a combination of limited access areas and a system of rotational management, in which certain areas are closed at certain times.
"We're fishing at very low levels, but the areas that we had closed previously - what are now referred to as limited access areas - have shown tremendous rebound by taking pressure of them for three years," Keliher says.
In the meantime, Andy Mays can still make a living harvesting scallops, which will be sold as delicacies in a jar with his name on it. Many of them, he says, will make their way into the kitchens of reputable sushi chefs in New York, LA and Chicago.
"And that chef can trace that scallop that I harvested back to me, back to right here. So he knows what - it's not some anonymous thing, and Quite frankly people who are dining are living vicariously a little bit through their food. So they know this is a diver scallop,. and they picture me being miserable down here with my (expletive) suit open, filled with cold water."
The water will only get colder from now on. The scallop season runs through March.

I have the 30.9 diameter 5" dropper version. This post has been flawless. It is easy to maintain and set up. There is a little cable-lag felt with the lever, but the post still responds very quick. I am only running about 12psi in mine and this is perfect. This has been the best purchase for my bike and it truly is a FIVE star rating. The post is solidly built, continues to work the same as the day installed and is reliable. When looking for a dropper this and the Thomson were the only ones with zero mechanical issues. Yes, the lever is large, but when mounted under it looks fine. The bottom line is this post is great.
This post is great. It is fairly easy to set up. If routing semi through the frame; I recommend setting up the cable housing then feeding the cable. Get your measurements, double/triple check, mark and cut. The cable is retained securely by the set screw. The seat is held secure and the the overall travel is buttery smooth: better than the Specialized Command post and at least as smooth, if not smoother than the Reverb. I am very happy with this post! Lastly, ensure that you do pump or check the air psi with the valve facing up. If you do not some of the lubricating oil will come out.
This make a good mtb great! i had everything else on the bike, but finally had to get the dropper post. it works good takes time to set it up properly and i have to run like 45lbs pressure to get the post to come all the way back up, but ill never ride without one now :)
I've been riding this dropper post for six months and I love it. The one-inch drop position is great for mild downhill sections and mostly downhill rolling trails. The four-inch (all the way down) position works great for steep drops and fast cornering. I put 12 PSI in it and it works great. I've demo'ed bikes with other droppers and this one is smoother and easier to move down. It's very solid. I really like the two-bolt seat attachment, totally rigid. The only thing keeping me from giving it 5-stars is the clunky remote lever. I made my own mounting bracket from an old brake mount and it works so much better. I don't even use the black lever. After a few rides, I got the hang of just using the silver lever to move it into either position and it works great.

Founder Insight gives you feedback from the startup trenches.
In this post from his blog, Chris Franks outlines how he approaches launching a new company. From coming up with ideas to settling on a name, Chris' advice boils down to just this: just start. Chris is a graduate of the Denver Founder Institute and recently began mentoring new startup founders this summer with Denver FI.
Below, Chris' post has been republished.
"Time to get started.
I'm a big believer that you gotta get started. I have suffered from the paralysis of perfection way too many times in my Starting Stuff career and recently I have decided to take the opposite approach. Just start. We've all heard the axiom "How do you eat an elephant"? The answer is NOT "One bite at a time"! That's just dumb. The answer is, "You start eating the fucking elephant!'
So for the sake of posterity, I'm going to back up a few steps to record how I've I gotten here to day one.
Step One- Come up with an idea.
The myth of the start up says that the power of your startup lays in the idea. This is bullshit. There are no such thing as original ideas. If you've had the idea it is a certainty that 2,000,000 others have had this idea. That is not to say that good ideas are not important. It is critical but just be aware your idea is NOT original.
Here's my basic approach to the idea.
1) Do what you know
I've been in wireless for almost 15 years. It's about ALL I know how to do. I'm not certain that it is always a good strategy to do a start up in the space you're most familiar with because doing the same thing for 15 years and then trying to do a start up in the same space could be boring. For me however, I still dig the space and I think we have just scratched the surface of the interesting things we are going to be doing with smart phones.
2) Make sure you have a real market
Notice I didn't say you have to have a billion dollar market. That's another myth. If you want to do a deal with the devil and go after VC money a billion dollar market is critical but frankly that is stinky money? A real market is one or more people will buy your stuff, use your service etc. I'm not going to go in to detail here as there are great resources for anyone looking to prove out a market. There is just one take away from this.
Make sure someone is willing to use your shit. Ask real people. Make sure that they are for real. You would be shocked at how many piece just assume that the answer is yes.
I happen to be in an interesting market. Not one smart person in the world believes that exchanging business cards is smart way to connect with the people you meet.
3) Make sure your name doesn't suck
My boy Adeo Ressi has beaten me in to submission on this point. Be sure your name doesn't suck. If you think your name may suck it does. Change it. Change it now before you get business cards made up.
For my new project I chose the name: Moblify. I don't think it sucks and it seemed to have pass the Adeo test so I'm going with it. If you want an honest opinion email Adeo. You can contact him through his web site. If you hound him he will get back to you and trust me he will give you HONEST feedback.
4) Write your idea down
Your idea will change but you need to be able to write it down in a couple of sentences. The full elevator pitch comes later but for now make sure you can articulate your idea in one or two sentences. If you can't you don't have an idea, you have ideas and ideas are not good at this stage. You need one idea and you need to keep it simple."

Heating Houses with Solar Power
Residential temperature control via window awnings and deciduous trees.
Heating the interior spaces of buildings and producing hot water account for a major portion of the energy use in a typical home. Traditional methods for solar space heating maximize interception of sunlight in winter, yet minimize it in summer by placing awnings over windows or landscaping with deciduous trees. Also, sophisticated, low-temperature solar thermal systems are available to collect sunlight for space and water heating.
For example, glass-enclosed flat-plate solar collectors on rooftops have black plates that absorb sunlight and transfer the thermal energy to fluids (water or a less-corrosive liquid) passing through flow tubes lying flat against the surface of the plates.
Glazed flat-plate solar collector for heating buildings.
A black absorber plate, oriented toward the sun, warms the fluid passing through the flow tubes.
More efficient, but more expensive, systems use receiver tubes similar to those in parabolic trough solar systems. The fluid heated in flow or receiver tubes goes into the building to warm the interior, generate hot water, or both.
Solar residential heating is becoming more commonplace. Israel—a country blessed with ample sunlight but little petroleum—leads the world in solar heating systems per capita, and solar water heating accounts for 3.4% of the country's total energy consumption. [1] In terms of sheer number of installations, however, China dominates: The country accounts for about 75% of the global capacity added in 2006 and for nearly 65% of the world total. Half of the households in some Chinese cities use solar water heaters. [2]

McLEAN, Va. (AP) - Dish and Gannett say they have reached an agreement in a fee dispute that had threatened to leave more than 2 million Dish subscribers in 19 cities without access to local television stations owned by Gannett.
The companies said Monday that they reached a long-term agreement but didn't give further details.
WTSP 10 News is owned by Gannett.
Dish Network Corp. had claimed that Gannett Co. was asking for a 300 percent increase in fees for the right to carry 22 Gannett stations affiliated with NBC, CBS, ABC and Fox. Gannett has said it was seeking a fair deal in line with market rates.
The two sides are also fighting over Dish's new digital video recorder, which allows customers to automatically skip commercials from the previous night's prime-time broadcasts.
In addition to 10 News in Tampa Bay, Gannett's television markets include Denver, Jacksonville, Atlanta and Washington.
