The National Association of REALTORS® actively protects the interests of its 1 million members daily by advocating for federal policy initiatives that strengthen the ability of Americans to own, buy and sell real property. With a strong understanding of the challenges today's commercial real estate brokers and their agents are facing, NAR advocates for regulation that will increase operating income, property values and equity for the commercial sector. Here are NAR's most recent actions:
Lease Accounting
Issue: The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) have proposed new accounting rules that would force many companies to capitalize commercial leases onto their balance sheets. Larger balance sheets would force lessees to shorten lease terms to minimize costs. Since lessors raise financing by using the leases and the value of the property as collateral, the amounts they can borrow in the future could be reduced if lease terms are shortened.
Action: Working closely with FASB, IASB, and the Securities and Exchange Commission, NAR has written letters and added its voice to coalitions to express concern for the unintended economic consequence the new lease proposal would have on its members and the nation.
Basel III
Issue: NAR has substantial concerns regarding the high proposed risk weights for certain commercial asset classes. The proposal creates a new, risk-based capital category: High Volatility Commercial Real Estate Exposures (HVCRE) for commercial acquisition, development and construction (ADC) loans. Specifically, the proposed changes raise the risk-weight for an ADC loan from 100 percent to 150 percent. In response to the potential changes, it's highly likely that banks would substantially change their current lending practices and reduce the amount of available commercial real estate credit to avoid the higher capital charges associated with ADC loans.
Action: NAR continues to meet with Congress and the Administration to ensure Basel III rules do not reduce liquidity in commercial real estate credit markets.

Designer nursery collections —like those offered by Serena & Lily and DwellStudio— are coveted by many mamas-to-be but the hefty price tag on some of these items can burst mama's dream nursery bubble in a flash!
But you can still put together a nursery that looks right out of a catalog or magazine by cutting costs in the right places. Take for example, the ever-popular Owls collection from DwellStudio.
- The first place I cut costs when it comes to nursery design is crib bedding. I've always thought it's a complete waste of money. And thanks to new sleep guidelines, you'll probably be more inclined to listen to me when I say, JUST GO WITH A CRIB SHEET! You can save $320 by choosing the Owls Crib Sheet ($40) instead of the Owls Sky Crib Bedding Set from DwellStudio ($360).
- Wallpaper can be expensive. But you can buy the minimum 8 sq ft of the Owls Wallpaper (which comes out to about $48) and cut and frame the pieces to create designer wall art for a minimal cost — an 8 ft wide wall, that's 10 ft high would cost almost $500 to wallpaper. Eek!
- Get creative! Place a DwellStudio Tree Decal (starting at $50) and decorate it with some adorable Owl Picture Frames ($40 each). You can use velcro to securely fasten them to the wall.
- Splurge on a few Owl Storage Bins ($50 for small bin, $90 for large bin).
- Forget the Owl and Tree Wool Rug ($550) and opt for a long striped brown and cream rug ($150) also from DwellStudio.

Boca Raton Museum of Art
American Art
The Museum maintains a superb collection of American art that is noted for its strengths in early-20th-century regionalism, social realism and the development of modernism. Strengths include fine works by masters such as Maurice Prendergast, William Glackens, Guy Pène Du Bois, Stuart Davis, John Marin, George Bellows, Yasuo Kuniyoshi and Charles Demuth. Although lacking signature artists in the postwar period, the Museum's American painting holdings show rich strengths in early modernism and abstraction -- Ilya Bolotowsky, Costantino Nivola, Alexander Calder and a major painted wood construction by sculptor Louise Nevelson (1899-1988). Nevelson's Shadow Chord (1969) typifies her hallmark sculptural "environments" developed in the 1950s and 1960s. This characteristic "black wall" is made up of 61 differently sized boxes painted a simple, flat black, and amassed as a single unit.
Contemporary works include a fine collection by more than 70 prominent artists from the 1970s to 1990s representing the pluralism of late-20th-century styles including post-painterly abstraction and color field works by such artists as Stephen Greene, Stanley Boxer, Nancy Graves, Elaine DeKooning, Sam Francis, Helen Frankenthaler and Gregory Amenoff. Realist works range from pop-inspired Alex Katz, to expressionists Leonard Baskin and George Baselitz, the painterly figuration of Janet Fish, the tonal landscapes of Wolf Kahn, and the photo-realism of Richard Estes and Gary Erbe.
The second-floor American and European galleries integrate prime examples of late-19th-and-20th-century painting, graphic works and sculpture, with more than 140 important examples of photography to provide a composite visual experience of American and European 20th-century artistic development.

thank you for the continued feedback Gon and spawn
i wish i had Aano. If i did, she'd be there, i've seen how effective she can be.
and you did only count 24, i forgot to list the instant revive. it's one of those that if i ever do get a 2nd alphonse, he'd replace the revive.
for range support, i'll have to try a bunch of different ones i have to see what works best. i'm actually kinda leaning toward the new ex10 milia, i know she takes a few turns to build up, but i could see her being good. but i'll try it out.

I love my daycare lady. She is so nice and works with me on everything, like if I have to keep LO from daycare, she will watch him on one of our off days, and she is even patient when it comes to paying her.
I noticed a few weeks ago that she seemed to be going through formula a bit fast. I thought maybe LO was just eating more but even at home I don't go through that much. She doesn't watch any other babies so I'm sure that she's not giving other babies our formula.
Everyday I take 9 clean bottles to daycare. She will send home the dirty ones and keep the extra clean ones. He's only there for 9 hours a day so he should be using 4-5 bottles.
Yesterday I left 9 clean bottles, and come home with 9 dirty bottles. Did my LO really eat 9 bottles? That's a bottle an hour.....which makes me worry that she is just giving him a bottle all day to keep him happy or asleep.
I know it's stupid to worry about this and I don't want to confront her and stir up trouble.
Any ideas or thoughts about what is happening? Or reassurance that I'm just crazy and stupid for worrying.

C&E: What are the indicator races that you are looking for to determine if there will be a "wave election" for Republicans?
Panagopoulos: Polls close at 7PM in 6 states (Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, South Carolina, Vermont and Virginia) and then a 7:30PM in 3 additional states (North Carolina, Ohio and West Virginia). Tracking the outcomes of competitive races in these states will help foreshadow what is to come. There are several U.S. House races in these states that may be telling as bellwethers as well. If Democratic incumbents like Joe Donnelly (IN-2), Baron Hill (IN-9), John Boccieri (OH-16) Jim Marshall (GA-8), and Ben Chandler (KY-6) start losing, this would not bode well for Democrats nationwide.
C&E: How important in turnout in 2010?
Panagopoulos: Turnout will be crucial in this year's midterm elections. Americans vote at much lower rates in midterms (about 15 percentage points lower than in presidential cycles), so about 40 percent of the eligible electorate in likely to vote on November 2. Generally speaking, the electorate in midterms is comprised of more affluent, better educated, whiter voters, which presents a problem for the Democratic coalition that helped to bring partisans into Congress in 2008 (and even 2006). Democrats are unenthusiastic this year, and, at the same time, the GOP is energized, so Democrats are fighting an uphill battle. That said, it is generally acknowledged the Democrats may have an edge in terms of the "ground game," so they may be able to mobilize more voters than expected on Election Day. If so, this will likely result in better performance than most polls have been indicating of late, based on projections of likely voters.
C&E: What race if called when polls close will indicate a good night/normal night for GOP, Democrats?
Panagopoulos: If Democratic Senate hopefuls like Joe Manchin (West Virginia), Richard Bluementhal (Connecticut) and Michael Bennet (Colorado) squeak out victories, it would suggest Democratic losses may not be as severe as anticipated.
C&E: Is Christine O'Donnell the Oliver North of 2010 (e.g. will the media focus on that race as an indicator of the rest of the night, and miss the forest for the trees)?
Panagopoulos: This race may end up tighter than the polls suggest, but I don't think there is any credible observer expecting O'Donnell to win. If she manages to do so, it will be the story of the night, and it would deserve all of the attention. It would clearly be a harbinger of bad news for Democrats nationwide, and the GOP could likely gain a majority in the Senate as a result. At the moment, that appears a far-fetched possibility however.
C&E: Do you anticipate a late night?
Panagopoulos: Without a doubt. There are far too many close races that may come down to the wire. In many races, there may not be a definitive winner until all the absentee or mail-in votes are counted, which could take weeks. If races are as tight as we expect, there may even be challenges, appeals or recounts that could last even longer. Moreover, statewide races in Georgia and Vermont, which require candidates to achieve a minimum of 50 percent of the vote, may not be decided until a run-off election or action by the state legislature respectively, which would also delay the outcomes considerably. Brace yourselves. This may not be over anytime soon.

I hope to continue the research I began in the OEFS course during Spring semester, 2007. Subsequent to my summer field season, I plan to incorporate ground truth data into my image classification and interpretation efforts. My final product will be part of my masters thesis and will provide both an important reference for my audience/peers who are not familiar with the region as well as for my personal interpretation of the data to be collected this summer. I am additionally interested in desigining a simple model predicting future patterns of forest expansion and contraction along the ecotone boundary of steppe-Boreal forest. The images I generate may be included in this model.

There are a lot of words you could use to describe the back-and-forth mud slinging in the media between Alex Rodriguez's legal camp and Major League Baseball right now. Hilarious, ridiculous, and pathetic are a few that come mind. But how about problematic? While the verbal haymakers being thrown don't appear to have much impact on the Yankees as a team, the dragging out of the process is going to become a big problem now that the offseason and free agency have started.
Who knows what's going to happen with Alex's "witch hunt" lawsuit against MLB. I'm sure he and his lawyers thought filing it would help strengthen their suspension appeal case, but with the way things are going between both sides in the media you have to think the arbitrator won't be swayed too much by it. The real concern from the Yankees' perspective is the appeal hearing and the still lengthy amount of time until it starts again. The next session is scheduled for November 18th, at which time A-Rod's team will present his side of the case. That part of the hearing will likely take at least that whole week and maybe more. Whenever it does end, the arbitrator will take as much time as he needs to render his decision and given what's at stake it seems unlikely that he'll rush through that part of the process.
If a few more weeks go by before a verdict is reached, that puts the Yankees at the Winter Meetings still not knowing if A-Rod's salary is coming off the books in 2014 in any capacity. They would be over a month into free agency and if they are planning to take the "wait and see" approach with A-Rod before committing to signing guys, they could be screwed by that point. They've already built a pretty substantial offseason wish list and their perfect world scenario would be to have that extra $28 mil at their disposal to pick up a few players on that list without going over the $189 million luxury tax threshold.
Despite Hal's insistence on trying to sell everybody on the "it's a goal not a mandate" theme, anybody with half a clue can put the pieces of the last year plus together and realize that cutting the payroll down leans much more towards the mandate side than the goal side. The Yankees were hoping they could use A-Rod's suspension as a way to keep both the payroll goal and the goal of fielding a truly competitive team in play, but with that suspension not coming for at least another month they may have to abandon one or the other. They can't afford to wait around while the rest of the appeals hearing plays out and they certainly can't afford to go to the Winter Meetings with their hands tied on spending. Falling that far behind the rest of MLB in the free agent race would leave them in a position where they would have no choice but to follow last offseason's strategy of filling out the roster with cheap, declining veterans and scrap heap pieces. And with as many holes as they have to fill, choosing that method again would make for an ugly 2014.
When the suspension was first announced, it looked like the Yankees had been given a golden ticket to escape their financial constraints and start putting some real money back into the ballclub. Their chances of staying relevant on the field while achieving Hal's goal of resetting the luxury tax penalties would have been and still are very possibly without A-Rod's 2014 salary as part of the equation. The time being taken up by A-Rod's appeal hearing hurts those chances, however, and the Yankees can't afford to wait around until December to see how much money they have to address their needs. Something, either the luxury tax goal or their offseason shopping list, is going to have to be sacrificed and the decision on that needs to come sooner rather than later.

Macon, GA (AP) - Officials in Bibb County say a 19-month-old
old boy was struck by a vehicle and killed in his front yard.

was pronounced dead early Thursday in the emergency room of The

Reviews by QuotedTurnip
A classic tower defence gameQuotedTurnip | Aug. 16, 2013 | Review of Plants vs Zombies Game of the Year Edition - PC
I haven't yet anyone who's played this and hasn't grown fond of it. Its cute veneer will reel you in and not let very easily and is a bargain to boot. It follows the basic principles of the genre but with its own spin on the bloated number of games that feature zombies these days; the learning curve isn't too steep, the music adds to the atmosphere but is unobtrusive and the sound effects aren't likely to annoy you quickly, which is difficult to find these days! There are plenty of modes that supplement the main adventure, my personal favourite being Survival - it's a good way to test out strategies using different plant combinations to see what works best against specific zombie types in order to boost your score/time. Getting all of the achievements on Steam will certainly take some time and it will prove itself value for money several times over.
Slightly bloatedQuotedTurnip | Aug. 16, 2013 | Review of Football Manager 2013 Overflow - PC
I tend to only get the game biennially now as there is definitely more than enough intrigue to tide you over for more than one real-life season and the changes made between each iteration are often incremental. With this version, I was intrigued by the 'Classic' version that came alongside it - gone are the halcyon days of CM3 01/02 where you could get through a season in a few hours without rushing through or being too bogged down in micromanagement minutiae, or so I thought. The mode is a welcome nod to times past but by only allowing for three nations, it ironically limits the scope too much. Couple this with the 'experimental DLC' and you have something that needs a lot of improvement in the next one. All in all, it is still by far the deepest football management game out there and now has a proper online system to help you and your friends play through Steam without any other third-party software. It just needs to find the right balance between micromanagement and a feeling of breezing through matches.
Doesn't deserve the mixed reviews from criticsQuotedTurnip | Aug. 16, 2013 | Review of Alice Madness Returns - PC
A lot has happened in the interim period between the first game and its sequel. Perhaps expectations were too high given the critical success of the original, but, having played both, this is an improvement in every regard. The visuals are an obvious place to start. It's more than just an enhancement in graphics; all the first game's quirks (meant in a good way) are still present in this one and the advanced hardware of modern PCs has allowed the creators to really run away with the graphics - sometimes I would stop Alice whilst playing and simply pan the camera round. Another good touch is the way her dress changes every level, helping to add to the level's theme and the story's progression. The story itself deals a lot with psychology, which I haven't often seen really come off in a game that I've played - only Silent Hill 2 springs to mind as being a success in that department. Collecting all the hidden items in each level is tricky and might take several playthroughs or an online guide to get to but it is rewarding in the sense that it really fleshes out the background to the plot and Alice's state of mind. The locations and enemies are varied enough to keep you interested and the length of the game is just right not to exhaust itself and the player.

About us
While he was laid up in bed he started studying medical charts and understanding how the body functions. He was having a challenge with his physical healing and sought counsel. The person that he connected with prayed for his healing and gave him some herbs and nutritional supplements. He immediately saw a tremendous improvement in his healing. After this family, friends, and neighbors came to his house for prayer, herbs, nutritional supplements, and counsel. There was a tremendous outbreak in healing miracles on a daily basis.
The miracles became so powerful that the religious system could no longer contain the explosive growth of what God was doing in our lives. After this God called us into full-time ministry to share teach and train others what we had learned.
In 2009 we felt called to other communities across America to share the healing power of God with them. We (Steve, Jake, and David and our families) now live in motorhomes full time and travel across America bringing the message of overcoming the past, walking in forgiveness, experiencing healing, and maximizing our potential in the Kingdom of God on earth.

The state of poker games on the PS3 is a dire one, indeed; during the days of the PS2, when the poker boom was at its peak, 10 different "poker" games were released for the PS2, including World Series of Poker games and a separate entry from Kid Poker himself, Daniel Negreanu's Stacked, a free money game where you play with a texas holdem bankroll. Since the PS3 came out in '07, however, very few poker games have came out for the system. Many players complaints about the clunky interfaces, terrible AI, and the improvements on many online site's free money games made the prospect of making more poker games for consoles a losing proposition.
The few that made it aren't new entries, however; WSOP 2008 and High Stakes on the Vegas Strip are the only two with a listing under gamefaqs.com. Neither entry seems to have done much to help the case for console poker games; the online options are limited, the clunky AI is still too easy to combat, and the interface is still notoriously slow. So what does this mean for the future of console poker games? Back in 2006, it looked like they were about to flood the market. Now? It looks like there's a very small chance we'll ever see WSOP 2010: November Nine in stores. Not until the PS3 network can get a more organized medium for their software; could a FullTilt or PokerStars themed play money game on the PS Network be far away? And will they ever introduce real money games, or offer fulltilt rakeback? Only time will tell. in the meantime,Casino is popular in Germany like the UK online Casinos.

A judge ordered Jereme Lamberth held without bond for the shooting death of Detective Jared Jensen.
His advisement was held Thursday afternoon at the Criminal Justice Center that's where Lamberth will continue to be held.
Lamberth is being held in an individual maximum security cell now and the Comander there says so far he hasn't given the guards any problems.
Thursday, he said nothing in court while trying to shy away from the cameras.
The judge asked to see him when he appeared in court, demanding he stand in plain sight.
The judge then withheld bond, and Lamberth said nothing.
His sister who was also a victim sat and watched, saying, "I think it's time for him to go home to God. I think it will give the officer's wife some peace, and I think it will give our family peace."
It's the first time ms has seen her brother since she says he stabbed her 13 times.
Meanwhile, District Attorney John Newsome says his office is devoting tremendous resources to this case.
"We will agressively prosecute this case as we do all murder cases."
He says a decision about the death penalty may not be made for some time and det. Jensen's family will have a lot of imput into that decision.
The D.A.'s office says they will prosecute the murder of Detective Jensen and the attempted murder of Melanie Schweinhardt seperately.

KSU official dies in wreck near Lexington
Published 12:00 am Wednesday, June 25, 2003
Marcus L. Webb, comptroller for Kentucky State University, died in an accident on Interstate 64 in Fayette County Monday.
Kentucky State Police said Webb, 38, suffered fatal injuries when his car was hit by one driven by Michael P. Susce, 48, Wilmore. Alcohol is believed to have played a factor, according to the state police report.
The accident occurred at 5:02 p.m. Monday and Webb was pronounced dead by the Fayette County coroner at 6:22 p.m. Susce was admitted to the University of Kentucky's hospital with chest injuries.
Susce was traveling westbound on I-64 when he lost control of his Pontiac, which crossed the median and struck Webb's Infiniti, according to a state police report. Susce's car continued across the eastbound lanes until it struck an earth embankment.
Webb died of multiple blunt force trauma, according to a news release from the Fayette County coroner.

lens management
A Problem-Solver for
This frequent-replacement toric
contact lens offers clinical advantages.
The Proclear Compatibles spherical contact lens for frequent replacement quickly became a main workhorse at our practice. We initially used it as a "problem solver" design for patients who experienced dryness since the lens material
(omafilcon A) contains the critical element phosporycholine, which contributes to the significant increase in wetting and hydration properties in comparison with virtually all other hydrogel materials on the market today, as well as its resistance to deposition. Several studies have established the material's clinical advantages, including on-eye studies with dry eye sufferers and studies evaluating lipid layer integrity, as well as on-eye lens dehydration studies.
Another outstanding feature is higher oxygen transmission. The primary limitation of the Proclear design was the lack of a toric in the material; fortunately for our patients, this is no longer the case.
CooperVision brings on the toric
CooperVision recently introduced the Proclear Compatibles Toric lens for frequent replacement. The lens is available in an 8.8-mm base curve and a 14.4-mm diameter with spherical powers ranging from +4.00D to -6.00D in 0.25D steps. Cylinder powers are available in -0.75, -1.25 and -1.75 and axes range around the clock in 10-degree increments.
The lens has three orientation laser marks located inferiorly at the
6 o'clock position and at 15 degrees nasal and temporal to the center mark. It has the same light blue handling and visibility tint as the spherical design.
Proclear's toric
contact lens comes
in convenient
packs of six.
Purchase is made easy
The Proclear Compatibles Toric is recommended for monthly replacement and comes in blister packs of six. The lenses are competitively priced with other spherical designs and are available in the "1-Stop"-- four packs for the price of three when the doctor orders annual supplies. Direct-to-patient delivery is available at no extra cost for annual supplies.
Addressing astigmats
The Proclear Compatibles Toric allows us to address the high percentage of astigmats that we see on a day-to-day basis in our practice. A review of our patient data base reveals that more than 40% of our hydrogel lens wearers require and wear a toric design in one or both eyes. With significant improvements in lens design technology, we are aggressive in the treatment of astigmatism with hydrogel contact lenses. Probably the largest segment of our toric patient base uses the -0.75 cylinder powers in soft toric lenses.
Due to the stability and reproducibility of contemporary hydrogel toric lenses, we don't hesitate to address low astigmats with these lenses and rarely try to "mask" astigmatism with spherical lenses. CooperVision's Toritrack system allows us to solve those cases where our initial toric lens selection doesn't result in optimal optical lens performance.
Clinical advantages plus . . .
We've found that the Proclear Compatibles family of lenses provides significant clinical advantages over traditional hydrogel lens material designs. It also differentiates our practice in terms of our ability to manage problems that many patients have experienced with other hydrogel lens materials when fit elsewhere.
We encourage forward-thinking contact lens practitioners to embrace the Proclear Compatibles Toric and Sphere lenses.

11:11 – Chapter 33Posted: July 18, 2012
January 1, 2012
Five blended-together days later, Burton was right as rain and fit as a fiddle and was still trying to figure out a way to kill the old man.
His innocent, youthful brown eyes pleading toward Carrie and Stacy led them wildly astray. He was just what these two mothers needed as they battled with the hold on their pasts and pull of their futures.
Even Stacy — who Kenneth regarded as the more sensible and reliable of the two, mostly because Carrie's sparring with him had grown in intensity and increased frequency — had fallen head over heels for the conniving, rotten soul. Perhaps it was merely indicative of their fledgling angelic selves.
Burton was a smart kid. He was a voracious reader, particularly fond of gothic horror and 'how-to' books. Google had also become a fantastic source of information and missing it was part of his own current personal hell. All souls left on Earth were experiencing hell — none spared nor assuaged.
Small for his age, and starved when found by the trio, this demented soul, who'd have enjoyed a prolific life of murder and torture had everyone not disappeared, presented a package that needed mothering and he poured it on lumpy gravy thick.
The women took turns waiting on the boy, who lounged on a thick mattress, wrapped in a warm comforter and watched every DVD and VHS in the place.
Burton didn't care that he was watching Disney classics such as Dumbo, The Rescuers, The Lion King or Peter Pan, leftovers from the owners' bout with grandchildren.
He also cared not a sniffing, snide teenaged whit that he sighed his way through the likes of Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, The Muppet Movie, The Aristocats, Smokey and the Bandit, The Bad News Bears or The Cat From Outer Space.
But Burton found himself enthusing rapaciously while watching Harold and Maude and got so deep into Land That Time Forgot that he failed to see Kenneth appear at his door and linger for a few simmering minutes, his stern gray eyes boring deeply into a mind he could not penetrate. That was how Kenneth sussed out evil. If he could not get an immediate sense of a person – a direct path into their most basic mien – he knew them to be without solid grounding of essence and were, therefore, creatures to be well away from or in need of dispatching.
When Kenneth stepped away from the door, Burton smiled.
They celebrated New Year's Eve with a grand feast and Burton thrilled at the fact that Stacy and Carrie let him drink some wine. Kenneth said nothing to him. He refused to speak to the boy and, in fact, he'd grown solemn and bitter towards the women as they had usurped his control with their perilous maternal instincts.
When they asked about the burning buildings in Big Sky, the lad tweaked their hearts by tearfully relating a story about how he thought he had missed his chance to be found and he lit the buildings up to try and bring them back.
As usual, his lies worked beautifully. His mother always purchased his prevarications with the will of a blind fool, as all mothers do with wayward or naughty sons.
Carrie and Stacy drank themselves into giggling, chattering stupors on New Year's Eve and spent New Year's Day sleeping and groaning about headaches. Burton seized the opportunity to squirrel away a steak knife when Kenneth went outside to get firewood and worked out the final few steps of his nefarious plan.
I also celebrated New Year's by getting completely trashed — by myself, in my room. Not normally prone to drinking hard liquor, I tucked into a bottle of tequila after drinking a six-pack and watching the first three episodes of Deadwood. I was doing fine with the pace of one bowl of weed with each beer but when it became one bowl for every shot of tequila, things got messy right quick. Didn't even make it to midnight.
All that I managed to write in my journal from that lonely evening was "fucking Mayans!" and "Save me Jebus!" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVwCYJj4THQ ) — a homage to the equally hard-drinking and thick-skulled Homer Simpson.
The three pages I filled before I tucked into the booze was an update to Carrie, a practice I began immediately after Andy spilled his preternatural beans. The more I wrote to her, the glummer I grew, so the elbow bending began. Weak, I know. But it was a time, all right. A time for the ages lost to the weaknesses of men.

Back to work for me. Getting up wasn't as painful; I kept to a fairly consistent schedule in Banff and was up by 7 or 7:30 most days, so an hour earlier didn't feel that bad. The cat gave me a forlorn look (or maybe it was an annoyed look?) as I left.
I've started reading Anne Whitehead's Memory. It's an interesting historical discussion of the cultural views of memory. I've made my way through Plato and Aristotle – lots of food for thought in reading about the idea that memory is something inscribed or written upon some aspect of the mind or soul. I'm not entirely sure how this plays into my cyborg story, but I think something of it will.
So begins Monday. Quietly, with coffee and my story laid out in front of me, the work day not yet begun (but with many mants just outside, apparently walling off another section of the building for construction).

Remarks & Releases
Remarks by Dr. Jeri Guthrie-Corn at the Global Forum on Public Governance
At the Global Forum on Public Governance - OECD Conference Center - November 21, 2012 - Paris, France
Good morning. I am pleased to chair this session on openness and innovation, as part of the Global Forum on Public Governance.
The United States is proud to be a world leader on innovation, democratic governance, and transparency. Let me share some ideas we have undertaken. President Obama has approved easy-to-use websites like Recovery.gov, USASpending.gov, and the IT Dashboard so that citizens can track where their tax dollars are going. The White House also launched We the People, a new platform that gives all Americans a way to create and sign petitions on a range of issues affecting our nation. And if a petition gathers enough online signatures, it is reviewed by policy experts and the contributors receive an official response.
Today's discussion is very timely as countries around the world are facing pressures to open up their governments and find innovative ways to deliver public services, under tight budgets. Moreover, openness leads to a better understanding of peoples' needs and gives equal access for all to the policy process.
As Secretary Clinton pointed out, "In the 21st century, the United States is convinced that one of the most significant divisions among nations will not be North/South, East/West, religious, or any other category so much as whether they are open or closed societies."
That is why the United States and Brazil launched the Open Government Partnership in September 2011 -- to promote transparency, empower citizens, and fight corruption; the initiative already has 57 members and growing.
Again I cite Secretary Clinton who said, "We know too well the costs of corruption on communities and businesses, on economic growth and democratic institutions, and on global stability and security. Corruption not only erodes the trust and confidence that citizens hold in one another and in their governments, it also robs both citizens and governments of resources that could be invested in a brighter future."
In addition, in line with the priorities of the Deauville Partnership for Arab Countries in Transition and the principles disseminated by the Open Government Partnership (OGP), the American people -- through the U.S. government's Middle East Partnership Initiatives (MEPI) - gave $1.5 million to an MENA-OECD Open Government Project. The Project is supporting the people and governments of Jordan, Libya, Morocco and Tunisia as they design and implement Open Government policies - citizens, governments, and civil society organizations working together.
Another pillar of our discussion today is promoting public sector innovation to improve service delivery, to be more responsive to citizens' demands. Imagine if your government response could be as fast and as reliable as a Google search! One small municipality in New Jersey is trying to do just that. A new software called Compass can track municipality's progress and compare it to neighboring municipalities, bringing some aspects of the smart city to smaller towns. The software helps government officials answer three questions: how am I doing today, what could I be doing better, and what can I learn from my peers.
Moreover, in the context of ever tighter budgets, social media and new applications offer innovative ways to open government and make policies in a more inclusive way.
For example, in the United States, the White House's Office of Management and Budget has created the Partnership Fund for Program Integrity Innovation, which seeks out innovative ideas for improving the stewardship of federal dollars -- its goal: create an efficient, effective government model for the 21st century.
Specifically, the Partnership Fund funds pilot projects and evaluations that test ideas for improving Federal assistance programs by reducing improper payments, improving administrative efficiency, improving service delivery, and broadening access for eligible beneficiaries.
The State of Maryland produced its pilot program in its Family Investment Administration - the bureau that handles supplemental nutritional assistance, Medicaid and temporary assistance to needy families. Maryland hopes to improve payment accuracy, administrative efficiency, and service delivery while reducing access barriers for eligible beneficiaries- it's working to find real-time solutions to address tight budgetary constraints and improve service through the use of this new, innovative program.
This session aims to explore the link between openness and innovation in the public sector and economic and social performance of the country. I hope our speakers, with your participation, will be able to identify innovative governance practices to promote openness and innovation in the public sector.
Lessons learned in this session will inform the OECD framework on Better Governance for Inclusive Growth, which we hope will serve as a useful reference for both OECD and partner countries in advancing governance reforms to support sustainable and inclusive growth.
Now I have the pleasure to introduce to you our distinguished panellists:

Life is bruising, but never boring
___When my wife, Joanna, picked out her car awhile back, she focused seriously on safety.
___She went car-shopping before armorized personnel carriers and SUVs with side-panel passenger escalators became available to the "buying public." Jo steered away from gas-guzzling, boxcar-chassis behemoths, anyway. But she definitely wanted to feel safe.
___She bought a car with airbags. It has a reputation for winding up less-demolished than other cars of similar cost and size when they're rammed into concrete pillars in crash tests.
___So far, so good. For the most part.
___Nobody's wrecked the car yet, so we don't really know if the airbags work or if the crumple technology would drop the engine in the street instead of in our laps.
___But I never counted on breaking my shins almost every time I climb in to drive.
___The car came equipped with "drop-down, shin-bashing driver-compartment design." Somehow, the part of the car that embraces the steering wheel, instrument panel and dashboard swings down and out where it fits oh-so-snugly to the driver's door. And cracks shins.
___It's not a feature automakers tout on TV commercials. You'll never hear them say, "The all-new 2003 Honker's dashboard breaks the kneecaps off of two out of five drivers."
___But if I don't scoot the seat back before I get under the wheel, I whack my shins.
___This has been confusing, because it's never happened before. I'm about three inches taller than Jo, but her legs are just as long as mine. So, in all the other cars we've owned, we always drove with the same seat settings. Somehow, in this car, she feels she needs to sit up close.
___And I've learned to adjust the seat or shellac my shins.
___Jo's carseat reminds me of marriage: You never stop adjusting.
___I remember when we were newlyweds, and I strained the pulp out of her orange juice every morning. I was confident that when the Lord and I got her trained just right, we'd have the perfect marriage. (Not a bright assumption for a newlywed husband straining orange juice, but I had my newlywed goals.)
___Since then, we've adjusted in thousands of ways. From foods we gave up or learned to like for each other, to who takes the dog out which morning, to who helps the kids with algebra homework and who pitches in on English.
___We've lived in nine homes and kept our clothes in 10 closets, slept on both sides of the bed, (almost) raised two kids, tried an infinite number of recipes, set the thermostat at numerous settings, gone on trips all over the country, laughed 17 million times.
___The French say "vive la diference," and some people think changing spouses is the only way to spice up life. But my wife and I have changed in so many ways over all these years, I can't imagine how life would get boring. Only shin-bruising.

Offering the region's best cooking instruction, the renowned Cooking School at Four Seasons Resort Chiang Mai introduces guests to the art of Thai cuisine, where both beginners and seasoned home cooks can join Thai Chef Instructor, Pirun Pumicome, in the airy, copper-pot-lined kitchen. Surrounded by tropical gardens and trees, the 56 x 30-sq-foot space is designed in traditional Lanna style.
Classes are hands-on. Within a few hours, the aromas of Khao Soi Gai (the area's signature yellow curry noodles with chicken), Larb Muang Moo (Northern-Style Spicy Pork Salad) and Pla Tub Tim Ping, (Red Tilapia Grilled in a Banana Leaf) are wafting through the room as students whip up the dishes and then — here's the best part — sit down to dig in. We spoke to Chef Pirun about the school.
Why have a cooking school at the resort? What's the aim?
Pirun Pumicome: Thai cuisine is one of the world's most popular, and we want to make it more accessible to our guests, even after they've returned home, by sharing some popular recipes and traditional dishes from the Chiang Mai region. A cooking class is also a great way for guests to spend time together doing something interesting and new, just relaxing and having fun. It's a chance to join a Thai chef on his home turf and learn Thai cuisine the authentic way.
What do you love about it?
PP: The location and setting—it's just stunning—and the incredible staff we have here. I also love sharing some of the secrets I picked up from my grandmother and my mother—two of the biggest inspirations in my life.
We've heard yours is some of the best instruction around. What makes a cooking school outstanding versus so-so?
PP: Our classes start with a trip to the local market where guests learn about the raw ingredients they'll be using. More than a tour of a market, it's actually a shopping trip; the "students" will be finding ingredients to use during the class. Our cooking school facility is also one of a kind—bright, airy, spacious, and beautifully designed. We also offer an optional fruit-carving session at the end, which gives guests a chance to learn this traditional Thai skill—it's actually a lot simpler than it looks!
Describe Thai cuisine… what are the signature spices, techniques and flavour profiles?
PP: Essentially, we have three main ingredients: lemongrass, galangal and kaffir lime leaves. Thai food must be spicy, sour, salty and a bit sweet—all at the same time.
What's your favourite dish to teach — and why?
PP: Phad See Eew (stir-fried noodles with black soy sauce and prawns). I myself love eating noodle with vegetables, and this one is simple to prepare.
So, how do guests get involved?
PP: Guests make a reservation for the class. They can contact the resort concierge or the cooking school to sign up. We offer classes six days a week, each with a different menu. A typical class involves four dishes, followed by lunch—so if you don't follow my instructions carefully, you may not enjoy your meal as much! We can also arrange classes in the afternoon for children. The parents can retreat to the spa while their kids get creative in the kitchen. And aftewards, Mum and Dad get to try the fruits of their little ones' labours.
OK, we have to know: What do you make at home just for fun?
PP: When I have some free time, I make a clear soup with chicken and tofu for my lovely daughter! – Michelle Pentz Glave

New Car Rebates and Incentives: February 14, 2013
February is sometimes overlooked as we traipse through winter with our eyes focused on spring, but the shortest month of the year hasn't been ignored by automakers looking to lure customers into showrooms with a bevy of rebates and incentives on now cars and new trucks. Our list begins this week with the 2013 Hyundai Elantra compact sedan and its 3.9% financing plus $750 cash back offer, followed by the 2013 Chrysler 200 mid-size convertible and its choice of either zero percent financing or $1,000 in cash rebates. The 2013 Chevrolet Corvette sports car delivers 1.9% purchase financing or an available $2,000 in factory cash back, while the 2013 Nissan Titan full-size pickup (0.0% financing or a whopping $5.850 in cash back) and the 2013 Buick Regal mid-size sedan (1.9% financing or $500 cash back) round out our latest roundup.
Halfway through the month there are still plenty of great bargains to be had on brand new vehicles, which means we will be back next week with another edition of our rebates and incentives spotlight.
New Car Rebates and Incentives: February 14, 2013
2013 Hyundai Elantra
The 2013 Hyundai Elantra is a compact sedan that makes a play for entry-level buyers based on its attractive styling, upscale interior, and the availability of a range of appealing features at an affordable price. Even opting for the best-equipped version of the Hyundai Elantra keeps its MSRP well under $25,000.
All editions of the 2013 Hyundai Elantra are motivated by the same 1.8-liter, four-cylinder engine. This unit has been tuned to provide 148 horsepower and 131 lb-ft of torque, and it can be matched with either a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic transmission. Fuel mileage for the thrifty Hyundai is listed at 29-mpg in city driving and 40-mpg on the highway.
There is a financing incentive of 3.9% plus $750 cash back on the 2013 Hyundai Elantra available until 02/28/2013.
New Car Rebates and Incentives: February 14, 2013
2013 Chrysler 200 Convertible
The 2013 Chrysler 200 convertible is a unique mid-size drop entry that allows buyers to select either standard soft or available retractable hard top models, with the latter being a feature that is typically only found on high-end automobiles. The Chrysler 200 convertible also offers legitimate rear seat accommodations, allowing it to comfortably haul up to four passengers.
The 2013 Chrysler 200 convertible starts out with a 2.4-liter, four-cylinder engine under the hood that produces 173 horsepower and 166 lb-ft of torque. Fuel mileage for the unit is listed at 18-mpg city and 27-mpg highway. Upgrading to the vehicle's available 3.6-liter V-6 brings with it 282 horses and 260 lb-ft of torque while actually improving fuel mileage to 19-mpg around town and 29-mpg during highway cruising. Each engine is matched with a six-speed automatic transmission.
There is a financing incentive of 0.0% plus $1,000 cash back on the 2013 Chrysler 200 Convertible available until 03/04/2013.
New Car Rebates and Incentives: February 14, 2013
2013 Chevrolet Corvette
The 2013 Chevrolet Corvette is not just an affordable high performance sports car, it also offers several trim levels that could legitimately be called world-beaters. The base Chevrolet Corvette coupe is augmented by the presence of the GS, the 427, the Z06 and the ZR1 editions, each of which ups the ante when it comes to speed and handling. A convertible Corvette can additionally be ordered.
The 2013 Chevrolet Corvette is initially outfitted with a 430 horsepower, 6.2-liter V-8 engine. Also capable of producing 424 lb-ft of torque, this unit delivers fuel mileage of 16-mpg in stop and driving and 26-mpg on the highway when matched with its standard six-speed manual transmission (a six-speed autobox is also available). The 427 and Z06 models step up to a 505 horsepower, 7.0-liter V-8 while the Corvette ZR1 stands tall with a supercharged version of the base mill that puts out 638 horses and 604 lb-ft of torque.
There is a financing incentive of 1.9% or $2,000 cash back on the 2013 Chevrolet Corvette available until 02/28/2013.
New Car Rebates and Incentives: February 14, 2013
2013 Nissan Titan
The 2013 Nissan Titan is a full-size truck that stands in the shadow of efforts from Toyota and the Big 3. That being said, with its standard six-passenger configuration and the availability of the PRO-4X trim (which installs many off-road goodies), there are still several good reasons to consider the Nissan Titan as a rugged workhorse.
The 2013 Nissan Titan features a single V-8 engine on its drivetrain options sheet. This 5.6-liter motor produces 317 horsepower and 385 lb-ft of torque, figures which help the Titan achieve a maximum tow rating of 9,500 lbs. A five-speed automatic is included free of charge with the pickup, while four-wheel drive is optional, and fuel mileage for the Nissan shows as 13-mpg in city driving and 18-mpg during highway cruising.
There is a financing incentive of 0.0% or $5,850 cash back on the 2013 Nissan Titan available until 02/28/2013.
New Car Rebates and Incentives: February 14, 2013
2013 Buick Regal
The 2013 Buick Regal is designed to snag premium mid-size sedan shoppers who want a little bit of 'go' alongside of their daily driver's luxury features. The Buick Regal is also one of the most attractive four-door automobiles in the entire General Motors portfolio.
The 2013 Buick Regal features a bevy of four-cylinder engine choices. The base 2.4-liter unit is good for 182 horsepower, and its eAssist hybrid system (which makes use of an electric motor for fuel mileage gains) allows it to post an EPA rating of 25-mpg city and 36-mpg highway. For those who value performance over efficiency there is the 220 horsepower, 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder found in the Turbo trim level, and the 270 horsepower edition of this same engine offered by the Regal GS. Transmission choices include a six-speed manuals and a six-speed automatic.
There is a financing incentive of 1.9% or $500 cash back on the 2013 Buick Regal available until 02/28/2013.

How do I stop my 10 month old from pulling her hair when she is mad or bored?
She likes to play with her hair to go to sleep or just when she's drinking. If she gets mad or bored she will pull her hair out in big clumps. I now have to pull up what's left of her hair. She has short hair on the sides now and it bothers me on if she is hurting herself. I heard she would grow out of but, when?

As a senior scientist, Wayne's role is to help teams formulate approaches and apply sound technical practices for gathering and evaluating scientific data. As a market intelligence leader, Wayne works with GeoEngineers' staff of all levels to craft business-development strategies, develop training programs and assist with pursuits to win contracts for the firm.
"GeoEngineers is a truly different firm compared to others in similar service arenas," Wayne says. "I have worked in this field for a long time. We have the sharpest, brightest teams I have had the pleasure to work with, and a one-of-a-kind strategic plan that empowers us to reach farther, be significant and truly make a difference."
In addition to his work at GeoEngineers, Wayne volunteers his professional expertise as a lecturer and speaker on issues related to water resources and management. He also serves on the national board of directors for the American Water Resources Association (AWRA). "At no greater time in history does America, and the world, need comprehensive leadership to guide the changes that are necessary to secure future generations with adequate water resources," Wright said. "For me, AWRA is the one organization that matches my personal and professional interests in meeting and overcoming these challenges."
Outside of work and his volunteer efforts, Wayne makes travel a big priority – from South Africa to Mexico to Europe. He also spends most weekends on the golf course and cooking gourmet meals that he matches with a fine collection of wine.
