Change is coming to the National School Lunch Program. These changes were inspired in part by the Let's Move! Campaign, which is aimed at curbing childhood obesity and improving the health of the nation's children.
Here are some of the changes in store for school lunches:
When I think of the school lunch — and breakfast — program, I think of the children my mother-in-law and sister teach. Most of their students receive free or reduced-price breakfast and lunch. These are the only meals that some children eat during the week. For this reason, limits to calories send up a red flag for me.
The final rules states that children of poverty should have access to food from other programs or resources. I agree. Many growing kids are going to need more calories than those provided by meals at school.
That said, obesity affects children from all walks of life. And any attempt to make meals more nutritious is a positive move.
Not all agree, of course. Some will argue that organic fruits, vegetables and milk aren't being required and that too many processed foods are still being offered. While others will argue that mandating nutrition is not the role of the government.
What do you think? Are you appalled? Are you applauding? Do you feel there's still more to do?
To the health of our children,

I am not sure any of it matters too much, if the children do not have time to eat it. Has Mayo done any research or come up with recommendations about this? 15 or 20 minutes, is this long enough for even adults to eat? I sometimes wonder about doing an experiment to put adults through the same regimen, and see how it goes... How can children learn when they are hungry? This has been said all along for kids in poverty, and so we have programs to give them healthy lunches at school, but don't give them time to eat it. And the kids who do have food at home still get to be hungry in the afternoon when they have not eaten enough to learn. Children are humans, they need to eat and they need to play in order to learn.
There is defenitally still more to do! Although these changes are great, it`d be nice to see more! Maybe show kids the affects of eating unhealthy? This was, they would be encouraged to buy the healthy school lunches! What do you think?
i took 3 apples home with me from school lunch and they turned bad way before the apples at my house like they had chemicals or something that why i eat home lunches
they should have more food but still healthy but have more time to eat it so they are wasting any
Arkansas -- you made a comment about how yours on who plays football until 7pm at night needs extra food to supplement the "lack of food" hes getting In his lunch. Your son is not the typical student...most kids don't have football after practice and certainly not until 7pm. By that time it is you responsibility as a parent to give your son extra food that will hold him over until 7pm. The thing that really disgusts me about all this are people who are complaining about the food portions...if you aren't happy with the sizes or the options then don't get the school lunch...and Iif you child is one who really does depend on the school lunch you should be appreciative that they are even being fed at school. I understand we live in a different society and I'm all for those who really do need the school lunch...and now breakfast....program but whatever happened to looking at the programs as a privilege and not a right. I am absolutely appalled at parents who complain to me about the school lunches...if you don't like what's being served then pack a lunch. With that said, I am all for th healthier options and portion sizes....that the big issue with all this. Students are being fed the CORRECT portion sizes. Kids are complaining about being hungry cause half our nation overfeeds their kids...and when they are fed something at an appropriate portion level they are hungry because they aren't used to it. We have wayyyy bigger issues that just healthier options...educate abou
It is understandable that the government has to take control of the growing epidemic of childhood obesity and the easiest way for them to do this is to make changes in schools. I agree that school lunches should be made as healthy as possible for children but why do the portion sizes have to decrease? My son often complains that he's not getting enough to eat and is frequently hungry during school, which interferes with his though process when all he can think about is his hungry tummy. The government should be trying to get kids motivated to be healthier by giving kids more of what they like! Give them more time to go outside and run around! Kids love gym class. As I went through school, the amount of time to get exercise in school decreased every year. The government should incorporate larger portioned healthy meals with more exercise classes. That seems to be a healthier combination to me.
I completely agree that school lunches need to be changed up. While I don't see the absolute need for organic foods, I would be ecstatic to find fresh fruits and vegetables rather than frozen or canned being served at schools more often. I find it appalling that the lunches are so terrible and greasy that my children refused to eat school lunch when they started attending school for the first time last year. I also love the idea of providing extra food for children in poverty from other programs. That gives me hope for the human race. :)
You bet it is the responsibility of the federal government to regulate school lunches since they are the ones who decide which agricultural products to subsidise they need to take responsibility and ownership of the health of our children. Kids are rebelling not because they arent getting enough calories but becauae they are not getting enough percieved value out of their food. Schools could choose lower calorie, higher volume protein options instead of just decreasing portions of the same frankenfood they have been serving.
First get the facts straight, ALL school lunches are subsidized. . . Is that really necessary? Some are reduced even futher. The idea that the school food is all the child may eat is alarming, but true. Whose fault is that? Lots of the parents are selling benefits. I have friends who buy them and get cheap groceries all the time. Somebody else's kid is going hungry for that cheap shopping spree. . .Align the two programs,use the schools to feed the kids year round. End the graft and feed the kids. Stop allowing benefits to buy junk food. If parents won't parent on the most basic level take the job from them.
Katherine I am VERY glad you noticed that the 1 meal of the day (for many kids) is the one being changed. If the 1 meal a kid gets is to help him live till the next day, we are hurting those kids by taking away that meal. I saw that someone stated "other programs" will take place of that lost meal but the reality sets in at dinner time and the kid is hungry. I know 1st hand several boys that are in this position NOW.... TODAY... that need that meal...sure they agree the food sucks but its what they can get. My 2nd thought is portion sizes. I think a cookie cutter approach has been given to fix this problem. Example 2 kids age 15 one is short and small one is 3 times his size, one plays video games after school the other football. (I know these 2 boys) they both get fed the same food and same proportions. It does not work that way.
I believe that there is definitely more to do! The processing of food ingredients (not just the finished product) is still a big problem with food vendors. I am still concerned about all manner of toxins in food growth & processing. And, I do not believe that calorie restriction is the right approach. The source of the calorie is the key! Calories from sugar, simple starches, and fats out of proportion to their nutritional value is the issue. Our children's bodies need healthy fats for digestion and for utilizing vitamins and minerals from quality fruits & vegetables, grains and proteins. Low fat milk, for instance, is not as satisfying, and has a higher concentration of sugar! It is good that we are finally taking seriously the reality of obesity; but there are so many ways of getting this wrong! Real reform of the School Lunch program will only be complete when we, as a nation, are re-educated about real food, and that is not likely while big agribusiness is more important to our lifestyles of convenience & food as entertainment, over substance. Alice Waters and her "edible schoolyard" program to EDUCATE the children about the source of nutrition and enjoyment of food is still the best model for how to make real change. And, until our values are re-aligned toward health, we will likely continue to pay for the pretense of inexpensive food (including school lunches) with the actual costs of disease and the pretense of health "care". Nobody win
Our children from elementary to high school have come home from school starving everyday during this first week of school. The new federally mandated lunch program is a joke. These kids have to go to after school sports practices and need energy to fuel their bodies and brains. Please tell me anyone who ever became obese from eating school lunches? Good nutrition is one thing, but not giving kids enough to eat is terrible. And the government telling me that my child can't have ketchup is ridiculous. Many of our kids in America only get this one meal each day! My senior football player is taking two sandwiches each day to supplement his school lunch in order to be able to make it through after-school football practice each evening until 7:00pm!
I think it is a waste to make these lunches whole grain especially if the children are not eating them at home. They are going to go to school and eat nothing then and the children who have free and reduced lunches suffer then because they go hungery. I agree fresh frutis and salad bars are a good idea and most children I see enjoy them but these other options just get thrown in the trash. Even myself wouldn't eat the food they are served I would have to eat from the salad bar and take the yogurt option. The main courses are awful. Nothing like when I was in school 10 years ago. My opioion is that the children are basically skipping a meal and that itself is not healthy.
So, I am 22 and was eligible for free school meals from 6th grade through the end of high school, although I often brought lunches from home and sometimes ate off-campus with babysitting money. I lived in a school district that is known for being progressive with respect to nutritious lunches, but even so I was often amazed at how clearly crappy the food was, and I shudder to think what the lunches must look like in "bad" districts. There was a salad-bar that always had salad mix and rolls that I think were whole-wheat, plus other fruits and vegetables in rotation; but all the fruit was canned, and the hot entrees were usually prepackaged and oversalted, made with pasty concoctions of white flour, tasteless "cheese" the texture of glue, and mystery meat.
I think kids should absolutely have better options in school, especially since kids with free/reduced price lunch often have limited choices. You can't force kids to eat their fruits and vegetables, but you can give them something reasonably healthy for a main dish (how hard is it to use whole-wheat noodles and slip some spinach into the lasagna?) and present nutritious sides - which you give them the choice to take or not, so they're not wasted. I don't think we're going to solve large-scale problems of malnutrition or obesity through school lunches, but we can certainly avoid exacerbating the problem. Not everyone is going to make good choices, but we can at least make the good choices available and set
As a parent, I agree that children should have access to nutritional food in schools and outside of school. I'm completely in agreement with getting gov't involved simply because school districts have a budget to follow.
If it's economical to cut costs in certain areas, they'll find organic fruits and veggies as a luxury expense and find a cheaper alternative that's probably not as healthy as it should be for our kids.
But, I don't think the gov't could successfully mandate what parents feed their children.
I just hope kids get a fighting chance in the food served in schools. Once they're accustomed to eating healthier, most kids will continue better habits in the future.
I think the Government should not be involved. They are taking over too much already. Parents should either send a lunch with child that they approve of or work with the school. IF it truly is in the best interest of the child then it starts at HOME. The government is taking away our rights one small one at a time and they start with children.
I don not think that it will make kids healthier. Once they go home, they end up eating crap anyway. It's not like they are being held from it. Junk food is cheap, healthy food isn't. Most people can't afford healthy food, so they eat junk.
I have no children but have always felt that the school should feed the children better. I remember we always had good for made for us and now they feed them processed crap or pizza or pancakes on a stick or walking tacos that to me is not a meal give them what they need nutrition and healthy things.
I am a dietitian that helps plan menus for live-in institutions for teens that utilize the school lunch program. As much as I like the idea of making the lunches healthier, we find most kids already turning down most of the smaller amounts of fruits and vegetables that are offered now. If you cut the sodium to the recommended levels, the taste of meals may suffer. I do agree some of the foods offered at the schools are awful-subsidies provided by the government are so bad they aren't used where I work. For the regular schools, shouldn't we be feeding our own kids if at all possible? My kids bring a sack lunch every day. It's pretty simple and cost-effective to pack a healthy lunch from home. My kids go to a larger high school and don't like the school lunches there. I doubt the guideline changes will improve the taste of the lunches, at least in the short term. Let's hope for the best in the long term and remember to take responsibility for our own kids.
I am appalled and horrified by the lunch programs. Have you read the ingredient list on some of the foods? My family has lot of food allergies and sensitivities. For instance my 11 year old(skinny as a rail)granddaughter becomes excesssively hyper if she eats anything with aspertane. We often can't find out what is in some of the dishes and this year have even played heck getting the wrappers to read. Her sister is asthmatic and has food induced attacks. How is the food program helping them? We are being treated as if we're sheep, not smart enough to question, learn or be responsible for our children. And the children are being kept from learning proper nutrition for their individual needs. At our school they stopped handing out menus(too expensive), don't let children wash up before eating, won't let them have more than a miniscule amount of the fresh fruits and vegeies, and have eliminated much of the PE program. These factors lead to classroom learning, behavior problems and obesity. Are you certain about your school? We are working to improve the system, but we know that it will not be improved unless our children are recognized as having individual needs and we as adults insist on accepting responsiblity for them and refuse to be part of the herd mentality that we're being pushed to accept. We can make a difference.
I am a lunch director in a small catholic school K-8th grade. I am appalled at the kids who dump out their fruits and vegetables daily. It's only the kids whos parents serve them nutritious foods at home that eat well. It's ridiculous to think that they will learn to eat well at school! All they are concerned about is getting out to recess or chatting with their friends. So it must start in the home! You can make all kinds of news laws and rules but all that will be accomplished will be less participation of school lunch and more kids going hungry. We serve all food groups in moderation. There is is no way that we are the cause of their bad health or obesity. It's what they eat outside of school that is causing these health concerns with our children. It's time the parents started being parents and taking the responsibility for their own children's health and well being and not relying on our government forcing our schools to do it! Parents need to insist their children shut off the TV and put away their cell phones and Ipods and move around instead of lying on their behinds. It's not so much the food the kids are eating, it's the time they spend NOT moving. As lunch director, I serve fresh fruits 2-4 times a week plus veggies every day, at least half of our grains are whole grains, very limited desserts, and a main dish that is moderate in fat and calories. The waste is unbelievable. Parents! do your job and teach yours kids good nutrition and stop depending on the schools.
I am tired of paying high prices for unhealthy terrible school lunches. At home we eat healthy so my kids know what good food is. My son is turning 15 an age where he is eating a lot and by the way he is not over weight he is an athlete. The portions are too small so he sometimes needs to but two lunches. He asked me to please pack him lunch because he actually feels terrilble after eating the school lunch. I have also suggested to the school to start a program where the kids can grow a garden. Healthy and educational, they could use the produce for school lunches and also start a farmers market to raise money.
Sure, these changes will help, but they're not an end all solution. When catsup is classified as a "vegetable" how much can we really rely on standards? Real changes can only be made when parents and other adults who interact with children act as role models.
Changes to school lunches will certainly help,but to combat the obesity that has already become epidemic amoung school age children parents must take responsibility for their own diets and start their chidren out right. They have to stop giving their children "juice" full of HFCS and artificial coloring and high fat/calorie chips.I have worked in perdiatric cardiology for 11 years and am amazed at the yearly weight gain of some of the patients,many children under 7 years of age weighing over 100 lbs. My sister and I have written "Gaining Weight" as a tool for young mothers to rid their homes of unhealthy and unnatural ingredients that they are feeding their families causing obesity and metabolic syndrome.
Changes to school lunches may help some. School lunches are not the best and I am in totally agreement on that issue.
But as parents we need to take more responsability for our childrens eating habits. Get the boxed easy meals out of our pantry, stop making the fast food chains our easy out and get our children out from in front of the T.V., computer, wii etc. School lunches are not making our children the way they are.
Some improvement is better than nothing. We largely learn how to eat when we are young, shouldn't schools help with that education?

A 'Eeveelution' (Japanese: ブイズ Buizu) is a popular term among fans that is used for the current group of eight Pokémon that evolve from Eevee. Eeveelution is a portmanteau from the words "Eevee" and "evolution". The term Eeveelution is because Eevee can evolve in different kinds of other Eeveelutions but with different kinds of types. The Eeveelutions are very liked among collectors when it goes about a full set of all eight evolutions including Eevee.
Many Eeveeltions made their appearance since Generation I. The first three where revealed in the first generation containing; Vaporeon, Jolteon and Flareon which they can be evolve from Eevee through a evolution stone. There were two more revealed being; Espeon and Umbreon which they can be evolve from Eevee through happiness through a different daytime in Generation II. There where no new Eeveelution been introduced in Generation III, but there were two more revealed in Generation IV which are: Leafeon that can be evolve from Eevee through a green moss and Glaceon that can be evolve from Eevee through a ice rock. There was one new Eeveelution introduced in Generation VI: Ninfia.
Generation I
There are three Eeveelutions revealed in the first generation of the Pokémon series which they can be all three obtainable through a evolution stone containing to be a Water Stone, Fire Stone and Thunderstone.
- Main article: Eevee
Eevee is the starting line of the Eeveelution and also been considered as popular Pokémon. Eevee has been introduced since Generation I and can be obtainable in Pokémon Green, Red, Blue, LeafGreen and, FireRed at the top floor of the Celadon Condominiums in Celadon City which you only can obtain one of it. Furthermore, Eevee can be obtained in Pokémon Gold, Silver, Crystal, HeartGold and, SoulSilver from Bill when you are at his house in Goldenrod City after meeting him in the Pokémon Center in Ecruteak City. There is also another way only in Pokémon Gold and Silver to obatin Eevee and that is to get in total of 6666 coins at the Game Corner. Eevee is also obtainable as a starter Pokémon in the Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness video game. In Pokémon Diamond, Pearl and, Platinum the player will obtain a Eevee from Bebe in Hearthome City, but there is a difference between versions. In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl the player will obtain a Eevee from Bebe after obtaining the National Pokédex, but in Pokémon Platinum when the player have been arrived in Hearthome City and visiting Bebe's house. They can also be found in the wild at the Trophy Garden. Eevee can also be obtainable as a gift in Pokémon Black and White 2 from Amanita in Castelia City, but they are also extremely hard to find in Castelia City.

46 U.S. Code § 12502 - Identification numbers, signal letters, and markings
prev | next
(a) For the identification of a vessel of the United States, the Secretary of Transportation—
(1) shall maintain a unique numbering system and assign a number to each vessel of the United States;
(3) shall record a name selected by the owner of a documented vessel approved by the Secretary as the vessel's name of record; and
(b) The manufacturer or owner of a vessel shall affix to the vessel and maintain in the manner prescribed by the Secretary the number assigned and any other markings the Secretary may require.
(d) Once a documented vessel's name is established, the name may not be changed without the approval of the Secretary.
Source(Added Pub. L. 100–710, title I, § 101(a),Nov. 23, 1988, 102 Stat. 4736.)
Historical and Revision Notes
Revised section 12502
Subsection (a) of this section requires the Secretary to maintain a unique numbering system for vessels of the United States. The Secretary may use existing vessel numbering systems such as the hull identification number for this purpose, but must ensure that no two existing vessels of the United States have the same number. The Secretary should consider and propose the use of a 17-digit number to implement this requirement. This subsection also requires the Secretary to maintain a system of signal letters and to record vessel names for documented vessels. The Secretary is authorized to establish other vessel identification markings for vessels of the United States, such as hailing ports.
Subsections (b), (c), (d), and (e) contain other requirements and restrictions concerning vessel identification markings.
This section consolidates the requirements of sections 12114, 12115, 12116, and 12118 of title 46. For this reason, section 106 of this bill repeals those sections.
Vessels Not Having Unique Number; Applicability of Provisions for Number Assignment
Pub. L. 100–710, title I, § 104(f),Nov. 23, 1988, 102 Stat. 4751, provided that: "Section 12502 (a)(1) of title 46, United States Code (as enacted by section 101 of this Act), applies to a vessel of the United States that does not have a unique number as prescribed by the Secretary of Transportation under that section until the earlier of the following:
"(1) the next time the vessel is documented, numbered, or titled.
"(2) January 1, 1995."

If you are a PVE player, why even care about P2W? Aion has enough quests to be busy until max level without even paying a single cent.
I think the game Christian meant was Dragonica, that one has indeed a fun ranger class.
Ragnarok Online also has a Hunter class (and Bard/Dancers can also use bows), the customization in that game isn't very big, but playing as Hunter is really fun.
But honestly I don't think you two will find a game you will like. =(

Amylase is an enzyme that helps digest carbohydrates. It is produced in the pancreas and the glands that make saliva. When the pancreas is diseased or inflamed, amylase releases into the blood.
A test can be done to measure the level of this enzyme in your blood.
Amylase may also be measured with a urine test. See amylase - urine.
a blood sample is taken from a vein [01-003423]
No special preparation is needed. However, you should avoid alcohol before the test. The health care provider may ask you to stop taking drugs that may affect the test. NEVER stop taking any medicines without first talking to your doctor.
Drugs that can increase amylase measurements include:
You may feel slight pain or a sting when the needle is inserted to draw blood. Afterward, there may be some throbbing.
This test is most often used to diagnose or monitor acute pancreatitis. It may also detect some digestive tract problems.
The test may also be done for the following conditions:
The normal range is 23 to 85 units per liter (U/L). Some laboratories give a range of 40 to 140 U/L.
Note: Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
The examples above show the common measurements for results for these tests. Some laboratories use different measurements or may test different specimens.
Increased blood amylase levels may occur due to:
Decreased amylase levels may occur due to:
Veins and arteries vary in size so it may be harder to get a blood sample from one person than another.
Other slight risks from having blood drawn may include:

Here's a way to help overpopulation issues with companion dogs and cats: Ask Your State Senator to Vote YES on SSB 5202, the Companion Animal Spay/Neuter Assistance Bill.
Substitute Senate Bill (SSB) 5202 would create a statewide companion animal spay/neuter assistance program to help people with low incomes get free or very low-cost spay/neuter surgeries for their dogs and cats. The bill would also fund spay/neuter surgeries for feral and free-roaming cats.
SSB 5202 replaces the original bill, SB 5202, which attempted to raise funds from the sale of pet food across the state. The pet-food fee funding part isn't in this bill; it's been replaced with a voluntary contribution of up to $1 per pet license from communities that license pets.
Please contact your state senator by phone or email and ask him or her to vote for SSB 5202 in the senate.
Your state senator can be contacted by filling out the comment form on the bill. It's quick and easy. Be sure to click the buttons asking for a reply from your senator.
Here are some tips to help you write a clear message:
- Ask your senator to encourage other senate leaders to schedule SSB 5202 for a vote on the senate floor.
- Ask your senator to vote for SSB 5202.
- Tell your senator that the bill will help reduce the amount of money homeless animals cost our cities and counties, and will help end the deaths of thousands of dogs and cats in our state's shelters.
- Tell your senator why the bill is important to YOU and others in your community.
It's really effective to also call your senator's office asking for a "yes" vote on SSB 5202, Companion Animal Spay/Neuter Assistance. You will find your senator's phone number in this list.
Thanks to Save Washington Pets for the info listed here. If you have questions, please contact them at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Joe Johnston
Birth Name: Joe Johnston

Birth Place: Fort Worth, Texas, USA
Born: 05/13/1950
Birth Place: Fort Worth, Texas, USA
Born Joseph Eggleston Johnston in Fort Worth, TX on May 13, 1950, he originally intended to become a commercial artist, attending California State University, Long Beach in pursuit of a degree in the field. In 1975, however, a degree-less Johnston dropped out of college to instead look for paying work as a product designer. It was then that the young artist came across an ad on a bulletin board looking for creative designers and artists to work on a science fiction film. That "space movie" as Johnston would later quaintly characterize it, was, in fact, George Lucas' "Star Wars" (1977), a film that would not only forever alter Johnston's life, but the entire film industry as well.

MSI D310 Portable DTV review
This pocket digital TV presents a few tiny problems
Pocket TVs are nothing new. Many can play media files, but it's a bit of a rarity to find one armed with a digital tuner, for accessing Freeview and DAB
There's no getting away from the fact that the MSI Mega View 588 is an ugly piece of kit. It looks like MSI has used a camera casing, as it has a tripod thread and battery hatch on the bottom...

Investigators in Ashtabula County have a judge's wife in custody for allegedly poisoning him.
Carla Rae Hague, 71, is being held in the Lake County Jail.
Back in September Common Pleas Juvenile Probate Judge Charles Hague was rushed to the Cleveland Clinic for what turned out to be poisoning from antifreeze.
A few days later, the Ashtabula County sheriff says the judge's family asked for help.
Along with the Sheriff's Office, the FBI and BCI helped with the investigation.
They arrested his wife Monday and charged her with felonious assault. She will also be charged with attempted murder.
Despite the arrest, the sheriff says this investigation isn't over yet.
"Certainly we knew from the very beginning it's was a high-profile case because it's a sitting judge. When we do investigation, it makes no difference. We do it the same way. We know it's going to grab a lot of attention," said Sheriff William Johnson.

The Philippines, once one of the world poorest countries has made miraculous about turn. It has become a lender to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) instead of one of the borrowers most poor countries are.
What is more interesting about this Far East Asian economy is that the money it lends to the IMF eventually goes to the crisis ridden countries of Europe - Ireland, Portugal and Greece to help them redress economically.
How this incredible turn of events came about is not only fascinating, but something that ought to be studied and above all, emulated.
How did it happen? It only occurred when the Filipinos expanded their foreign exchange reserves and growing balance of payments (BoP) surplus for the IMF's long-standing member.
According to the Philippines Central bank governor, Amando Tetangco Jr, the build-up in the reserves was due mainly to foreign exchange inflows from the deposits by the national government from its dollar-denominated 25-year global bond issuance as well as dollar remittances from overseas Filipino workers and earnings from Philippine businesses abroad.
Early last month, the Philippines sold USD1.5bn worth of dollar-denominated bonds due in 2037.
It also expects the sum of all foreign exchange flowing into the country to hit a record level of USD79bn this year.
The central bank said in January that the country registered a BoP surplus of USD864m-- as it continued to enjoy inflows from the usual sources of foreign currencies, such as remittances and portfolio investments.
We have until very recently known the Philippines as a country of severe monsoon floods, religious extremism associated with unending threats and constant state of instability arising from corrupt leaders.
The small archipelagoes in their thousands have very limited resources and opportunities besides the fact that even the land for tilling let alone to live in is a scarce resource.
This Philippine page on how it has managed to transit from an IMF long time net borrower to a net lender within a short period is not only pertinent to Tanzania but an example worth emulating.
Tanzania is already implementing similar economic programmes that the Far East Asian country embarked on earlier before it turned into a net lender of the IMF in 2010.
A couple of years ago the government invited Tanzanians in the Diaspora to remit their money home and plough them into the economy in a move to boost its prosperity.
The government has started taking measures to issue an USD500m bond in a move to raise money in order to spur economic growth.
We believed that should Tanzania follow through on such a credit strengthening paradigm, it would work well on her part.
Tanzania could do even better if she wanted to become a net creditor member of the IMF, moving from its current position of net borrowing because she has more resources than the Philippines.
Tanzania almost ranks second or third after the DR Congo and Angola in terms of resources in Africa, with the former's standing at almost the combined GDPs of Europe and the US.

A funny guy, a loving family man, is how Martina Madrid describes her late husband.
Michael Madrid, 23, was killed in a fatal rollover Sunday night.
"He was funny, a jokester...did everything he could for his family," a grief-stricken Martina Madrid told 11 News.
Martina's voice cracked as she spoke of the 5-month-old daughter Michael left behind.
Michael was driving on Powers just before 7:30 p.m. when he rolled his vehicle just south of Platte, the force of impact partially ejecting him from the car. Police say he wasn't wearing a seat belt, and died at the scene.
At this time, police believe speeding was the primary factor in the crash.
The family tells 11 News Michael didn't have life insurance so they set up a memorial fund at Wells Fargo.
The cost of the funeral should be around seven to eight thousand dollars.
If you would like to make a donation, just go to any Wells Fargo and ask for the Michael Madrid Memorial Fund.

Like I have always said parenting is more of on the job training. Children do not come to earth with a manual. You have to learn as you parent. There is no clear cut formula as to what is right and what is wrong.
That is why parenting is a subject that drives intense emotion, raises important questions and is unique to each family. Parenting means different things to different people, but ultimately, parenting is a skill that needs to be learned and mastered.
Mostly, we raise our children based on what was handed down to us or what we feel is right. Remember the famous saying, "it takes a whole village to raise a child…and a whole community to keep the parents sane?"
I love that statement, it simply means that it takes a village to raise a child, that is, parenting goes beyond the immediate family environment. Families should instill sound discipline at the family level, while encouraging communal discipline.
Parents should never compromise on disciplining children; and, this should be a communal affair. Seeking and accepting advice when one is experiencing personal and parenting challenges is highly encouraged if one is to raise socially balanced children.
In the past, in Africa, there were many forms of support systems to parents, and skills were passed through generations.
Today, urbanization and globalization has affected the family to the point where a young parent rarely has support from the extended relatives. Harsh economic times have led to parents working for long hours, away from home, with little time to spend with their children.
Modernization has destroyed the nuclear family set up and now families stay far away from each other. The role that aunts and uncles used to play in raising children has been taken over by television and friends.
This has left the young couples with very little or no support in terms of raising balanced children. They have to battle it alone in the city.
They now have to play that role which used to be played by family elders of providing sex education to their own children. Some don't know how to go about it as a result their children end up learning whatever they can from strangers, which in itself has proven to be disastrous.
This scenario has brought about challenges which the modern day parent has to grapple with in order to keep the family intact and raise well balanced children. The parents have to fight hard to in facilitating family get-togethers to facilitate bonding, interaction and sharing among relatives.
The modern day family has to make choices for the benefit of the family and create a balance between family and career. Parenting is more than just providing basic necessities (food, shelter, clothing, education). Loving, disciplining and open discussions with children are equally important when it comes to raising children hence parents should strive to spend quality time with their children.
They ought to learn from parenting practices of the past, while carefully adopting those lessons that are important in the current parenting context. Creating a conducive environment at home where there is respect and open communication between spouses, as well as between parents and their children is quite essential.
Apart from the problems brought about by globalization, HIV/AIDS has led to children losing their parents resulting in the emergence of child headed families or children staying with foster parents. This has compounded the problem of parenting.
In most cases, the siblings who have to take care of their younger ones ended up engaging in commercial sex or fell prey to older men in an effort to earn money to take care of their young ones. This became a vicious cycle whereby the whole family ends up infected and succumbing to the HIV scourge.
HIV/Aids brought about another challenge and a different form of parenting. This means that society has to come up with a solution of equipping these children who have become parents overnight with skills of parenting their siblings in this demanding world.
There has to be a way in which these children have to access support services that government, development organizations and the community are providing so they can take care of their other siblings.
Grandparents also face this problem when they have to take care of their grandchildren who have been orphaned because of HIV/Aids. The grandparents are old and ill equipped to face the challenges of modern day parenting. They need all the support they can get in order to raise their grandchildren properly.
This brings us to the saying that it takes a whole village to raise a child.
All said and done parents have to be proactive enough to learn how to raise their children. They need to create a stable environment for children to grow up in because different environments expose children to different values, norms and cultures which may lead to confusion. As parents we have to teach by example, we ought to walk the talk and be role models for our children.
Last but not least, we ought to recognize that children are children, and we should not expect them to behave otherwise but rather learn the different behaviors and milestones to expect at each of their development stage. Happy parenting! [email protected]

How do I use Freegal Movies and TV on mobile devices?
The Freegal Movies site is designed to be used on the web. For mobile devices, we have developed a mobile application that is compatible with iOS and Android devices.
What is Freegal Movies and Television?
Freegal is a streaming video service from your library. All you need is your library card number and some libraries utilize a PIN. Freegal offers access to thousands of feature films and television episodes from major content providers. There is no software to download as the service is browser or app based, like popular services you may have used before. Access to Freegal is limited to patrons of subscribing libraries, while in the United States.
How many movies can I watch?
Each cardholder can watch 3 different movies or television episodes each week, which is defined as from 12:01 AM on Monday (Eastern Time) to 12 midnight on Sunday (Eastern Time). Each selection carries with it, a 48 hour viewing period. During that 48 hour period you may watch that selection multiple times. The number of selections you have left is indicated in the upper right hand corner. When you have not made any selections it says "3 movies".
What is the "My Account" for?
"My Account" allows you to track the movies which you have started, which are still in the 48 hour available viewing period?
How does Freegal Movies work?
You can browse Freegal Movies in several ways. You can go through the featured selections on the home page, or you can browse through New Arrivals, Most Popular, or the Library Picks at the bottom of the page. Freegal Movies is a browsing site, and not a search site, at present.
Once you have made your selections, you just press on the image, and then press play. A playing screen will show up, and then the movie will start playing. You can watch it as a partial size, or expand it to full screen. The video player enclosed in the browser can fast forward, rewind, pause, play or adjust the volume.
How often do new selections come on the site?
New content comes on the site every month, if not more frequently.
Sometimes a movie or episode may disappear from the site, due to licensing restrictions.
Who is Library Ideas LLC?
Library Ideas is a privately held company based in Vienna, Virginia that offers services and products to the educational markets. Besides Freegal Movies, Library Ideas offers music, eBooks, and an online language learning product.
Where did you get the name Freegal? (Rhymes with "legal")
It's a word used by Library Ideas, the company who developed Freegal Music . It means "free and legal".
Using Google Chromecast with Freegal Movies
To use Chromecast with Freegal Movies, you will need to download the extension "Google Cast" within your Chrome browser. To do this:
1 Click the menu button with 3 vertical lines in the far right of your browser and go into "Settings".
2 On the left of your screen click "Extensions" and "Get More extensions"
3 From this page, type "Google Cast" in the search bar in the top left of the screen and download it for free.
4 Once this successfully downloads you will notice a new button next to the menu button.
After you have downloaded the Google Cast extension on your browser, please connect your Google Chromecast to your TV and simply play a movie. Once the movie starts, press the Google Cast button and select your device to mirror the movie on your TV. Finally press full screen to enlarge the picture and enjoy!
Do I need to install any software?
The only software required to enjoy this service is a modern web browser on your computer, and the Freegal Movies app on mobile devices.
Freegal Mobile Apps are available!
The Freegal Movie and Television Service has recently launched free mobile apps, and they are currently available in the Apple App Store and the Android Marketplace, a.k.a. Google Play. For Android devices, operating system 3.2 or higher is required.
How do I find my local library in the Freegal App?
To use Freegal, you need to be a registered cardholder of a library that has contracted the Freegal service. Once you have downloaded the App, the first thing you will see upon opening the App is a search box for libraries. In the United States, you can enter your home zip code, and a list will appear of current subscribing libraries within a 60 mile radius. You can also enter in the name of your library or the city in which your library's main branch is located.
How do I get the Freegal Mobile Application?
If you have an Apple device (Iphone/Ipad/Itouch), you will be able to download the Freegal App by doing a search for "Freegal Movies" in the App Store.
If you have an Android phone or tablet, you will be able to search for "Freegal Movies" in the Google Play store.
At this moment, these are the stores where the apps are available.
What is the functionality of the Freegal App?
The Freegal App is designed to find libraries that have the Freegal Movie Service, and to browse the site, and stream content.
You can browse the image tiles visible in the app, or you can use the navigation bar in the upper left corner to browse through categories of titles.
How do I login to the Freegal Movie App?
Right after you select the library you have a card with, the login screen will appear. This screen requests your valid library card number. Some libraries also request a PIN. Once you are validated, you will be in the Freegal App's main area where you can browse, search and play movies. If you have problems logging in, please contact your local library.

Most of my favourite accessories are things that I make or thrift. I absolutely love scoring a funky purse that likely can't be found in too many other places, or when I find an awesome pair of statement earrings or a chunky necklace at a thrift. There is nothing better than dreaming up a story of where it came from and who wore it.
I love making statement necklaces. I recently made one that was inspired by some of the ladies on Advanced Style who wear turquoise pieces. I will have to post it. soon. I think turquoise is such a bold colour and works well with so many outfits. The more original, the more I love it and hold it near and dear.
I love it when people ask me questions about my accessories! This site has been a marvelous inspiration.

Hittade din hemsida och bestämde sig för att använda en snabb läsa, inte vad en brukar göra men trevligt ett. Kul att se en blogg för någon förändring som inte är fullt av spam och skräp, och i själva verket gör någon mening. Hur som helst, underbar skriva upp.

The classy black & white outfit, especially the white, crouched mittens from the fifties.
Somewhere in my attic I have a similar pair. Tomorrow I'll crawl up the ladder and go searching for mine in one of the old trunks.

Ny absolute favourite ring is the black star in the 3rd picture! I know how to make this and never thought of wearing it as a ring. I love DIY and hate the fashion dictate. These ladies show me that you can wear whatever you like, as long as you make a statement. Thanks, Baerbel
PS: The star is called "Froebelstern" in Germany, I couldnt find any translation.

NewTek Releases LightWave™10.1 with New Stereoscopic Features and
Interactive Production Workflow
"We're using LightWave 10.1 for everything-from lighting and shading, to working on material from other pieces of software, as well as just producing everything in it-from start to finish," explains John F. K. Parenteau, managing producer at Pixomondo Los Angeles in Santa Monica, California. Pixomondo is currently using LightWave in the creation of Steven Spielberg's new TV series "Terra Nova," slated to premiere this fall. "LightWave provides a very fast turnaround for us. It has become a great tool, particularly with its new capabilities," explains Parenteau.
New Features Provide Impressive Results
LightWave 10.1 enhances creativity with new stereoscopic features that provide access to all major stereo camera rigs, and the ability to dynamically correct for toe-in distortion in the animation pipeline. Additional stereo enhancements include interactive OpenGL off-axis adjustment of the right and left camera planes, click-and-drag convergence point adjustment in the viewport, and the ability to disable the anaglyph representation of the stereo camera in OpenGL. Also in LightWave 10.1, interocular and convergence points can be dynamically animated over time to track stereo changes within a shot.
The LightWave VPR allows artists to directly interact and easily adjust lights, textures, volumetrics and more, within the viewport. Artists can also use the VPR to view updates, quickly deliver realistic, environmental walkthroughs, and perform virtual location scouts. LightWave 10.1 extends the functionality of the VPR with the support of clip maps in the VPR render, the addition of object and distance dissolve, and improved nodal shaders like the new Skin material node that works with the VPR. The Skin Shader node uses a proprietary model for subsurface scattering for an easier method of replicating realistic skin textures.
LightWave 10.1, with integrated Autodesk Geometry Cache Support gives artists the ability to include or exclude models, morphs, animations, cameras and lights, upon export. Other workflow features in LightWave 10.1 offer the ability to import joints as LightWave bones for greater compatibility with other programs; multi-threaded mesh evaluation optimization and sub-d mesh freezing acceleration; linear color space workflow improvements, including new support for .ICC/.ICM monitor profiles, and more. Additional LightWave 10.1 features include:

For the first time in 11 years, the Consumer Product Safety Commission has ordered a company to stop selling some high-powered desktop toys because children are getting hurt.
An administrative complaint has been filed against New York-based Maxfield & Oberton, the manufacturer of Buckyballs -- those small but very powerful magnets that are strong enough to mold and shape into different forms and structures on your desk.
The force of the magnets punched through 2-year-old Braylon Jordan's small intestine, almost all of which had to be surgically removed.
His mother, Meaghin Jordan explains, "Braylon isn't allowed to eat anything, so he has to be fed through a tunnel catheter in his chest."
Braylon has to wear an ostomy bag day and night that catches his waste. Still, it could have been worse.
Braylon's physician, Dr. R. Adam Noel says, "Braylon is fortunate to be alive."
In fact, Dr. Noel is conducting a nationwide study and says he's seeing an alarming increase in this type of injury.
Several different companies sell these rare-earth magnets and advertise online, including Buckyballs, Zen Magnets, Magnet Balls, and Neocube.
According to Andrea Rock with Consumer Reports, "They are fascinating, and sales are through the roof. For example, Buckyballs, which has only been on the market since 2009, claims to have annual sales of more than $25-million."
CPSC says the company refused to recall the product. In another front against the company, the agency said it was able to convince about 10 retailers, including Amazon.com and Brookstone, to stop selling Buckyballs.
Since 2009, CPSC says at least a dozen children, from toddlers to teens, have swallowed the magnets. Some required surgery.
A call to Maxfield & Oberton was not immediately returned.
