Angewandte Chemie, the German Chemical Societys (GDCh) flagship journal was launched in 1888. From the start, it was published with Verlag Chemie (VCH) now Wiley-VCH. Fifty years ago GDCh and VCH decided to complement the German language edition with an international edition in English and today, Angewandte , as scientists worldwide fondly call the most used journal of all journals on Wiley Online Library, is the worlds leading journal of chemical research. Since 1982, Angewandte Chemie has been led and developed by Peter Gölitz, and an ever-growing team of highly qualified chemists from all over the world, at the in-house editorial office at Wiley-VCH.
Most papers submitted to Angewandte Chemie are from China, while most papers published are from the US. Where better to celebrate than Asia, the continent from which most papers are submitted? And who better to celebrate with than some of our long-standing authors and editors, including Nobel Laureates from the Americas, Europe, and Asia?
Staff from GDCh and key German research organizations, including Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft and Alexander von Humboldt-Stiftung and their offices in Asia, as well as colleagues from Wileys offices in Tokyo, Beijing, and Singapore, and from Wiley-VCH, joined forces with the Chemical Society of Japan and the Chinese Chemical Society to organize two spectacular Symposia the first in Tokyo on June 20th the second in Beijing on June 22nd.
The Symposia proved to be a great experience for all involved. About 500 people attended the events at Tokyo Institute of Technology and Tsinghua University in person. For all those who could not attend the events were also broadcast via ChemistryViews.org, the online service of ChemPubSoc Europe and Wiley-VCH well over 3,000 people have downloaded the broadcasts to date.

BLACKSBURG, Virg., Nov. 23. THE Virginia Tech swimming & diving team announced Saturday the signing of six swimmers to National Letters of Intent for
the 2003-2004 academic year.
"We knew going into this recruiting year that we would be losing a good portion of our team, with seven women and six men graduating in May," said head coach Ned Skinner. "Those 13 athletes represent the heart of
our team and have been a part of many special moments in Hokie history, so we recognized very early on that we were going to have to have an extraordinary recruiting year. With the six athletes we have signed
early in the fall, I believe we have gotten an excellent start to accomplishing our recruiting goals for the year."
The first of the Hokies' early signees is Tommy Evans, a native of Blacksburg, Va. He is the current Virginia high school record holder in the 100 free (46.91) and 200 free (1:43.2), and the defending high school state champion in these two events. Evans also placed third at the YMCA Nationals this summer in the 50 free. Evans brings good size and raw talent to the Hokie men. He will graduate from Blacksburg High School in June.
"We are very excited about Tommy's decision to become a Hokie and are glad we were able to tap into some of the excellent local talent here in Blacksburg," Skinner said.
Joining Evans on the men's side is Cabot Pitts. Pitts swims for Curl-Burke under the direction of Coach Peter Morgan and is from Clifton, Va. Cabot has enjoyed great successes in both the 100 and 200
backstroke, posting times of 53.12 and 1:52.80, respectively. He has also done well in the IMs, recording times of 4:05.17 for the 400 IM and 1:56.68 for the 200 IM. He is a Junior National qualifier and holds the 200 free, 100 back, and 200 IM records for his high school, Robinson Secondary, from which he will graduate in June.
"I am very impressed with Cabot's times and career thus far and am really looking forward to seeing him build on that during his career at Tech," Skinner said.
On the women's side Erin Courtney, a backstroker hailing from Dover, Del., has proven herself as a strong competitor in the 200 back, posting a best time of 2:05.56. Already this season, she has come very close to improving on that time. She is a Junior National qualifier in three events and will provide a middle distance twist, with the 200 free (1:54.42) and 500 free (5:03.58) being two great events for Erin as
well. Courtney will be graduating from Caesar Rodney High School in June 2003.
"We couldn't be happier with Erin signing early with us. She is going to be an excellent in-season swimmer for us and her potential is limitless," Skinner said.
Also joining the women for the 2003-2004 season is Erin Tarpey from Fairfax, Va. Tarpey attends Robinson Secondary with Pitts, one of Tech's early signees on the men's side. The strengths that she brings to the
women's team is her speed in both the fly and free events. She is a Junior National participant in the 100 fly (56.96), 50 free (24.18), and 50 fly (25.65).
"With her natural speed Erin will have an immediate impact on Tech's relays as well as numerous individual events next year," Skinner said.
Another Virginia native committing to Virginia Tech for Fall 2003 is Mason Walsh of Herndon, Va. Much like Tarpey, Walsh brings extraordinary speed with her while her focus is on freestyle and breaststroke. She
took second at Eastern Zones in the 50 free (23.99) in both the short course and long course seasons. She also has a strong 100 free (54.16) and 100 breast (1:08.16). In June, Walsh will graduate from Herndon High School.
"Mason is an extremely talented swimmer who is only going to get better as her career continues," Skinner said. "She has all of the tools to make a significant impact on the BIG EAST Conference."
Rounding out the women's early signing class is Liane Bianco. Bianco is from Mechanicsburg, Pa., and is an "amazingly well rounded swimmer," according to Skinner. Bianco could be a threat in any one of the
strokes, which make the 200 IM (2:08.13) a good event for her. She is not to be counted out in the breaststroke races either as she has personal bests of 1:06.0 in the 100 and 2:26 in the 200. After
graduating from Mechanicsburg High School in June, Liane will become a Hokie in the fall.
"I truly believe that with Liane's dedication to the sport of swimming and her versatility she could develop into one of the finest IMers in Hokie history," Skinner said.

Procera Networks Inc. Stock Downgraded (PKT)
TheStreet) -- Procera Networks (Nasdaq: PKT) has been downgraded by TheStreet Ratings from buy to hold. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its robust revenue growth, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures and impressive record of earnings per share growth. However, as a counter to these strengths, we find that the stock itself is trading at a premium valuation. Highlights from the ratings report include:NEW YORK (
-- Written by a member of TheStreet Ratings Staff
- PKT's very impressive revenue growth greatly exceeded the industry average of 20.5%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues leaped by 78.1%. This growth in revenue appears to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, improving the earnings per share.
- PKT has no debt to speak of therefore resulting in a debt-to-equity ratio of zero, which we consider to be a relatively favorable sign. Along with this, the company maintains a quick ratio of 4.10, which clearly demonstrates the ability to cover short-term cash needs.
- The gross profit margin for PROCERA NETWORKS INC is currently very high, coming in at 70.30%. It has increased from the same quarter the previous year. Despite the strong results of the gross profit margin, PKT's net profit margin of 4.70% significantly trails the industry average.
- The company's current return on equity greatly increased when compared to its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a signal of significant strength within the corporation. When compared to other companies in the Communications Equipment industry and the overall market, PROCERA NETWORKS INC's return on equity is below that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.

EAST LANSING, Michigan, October 7. IN a surprise move, Michigan State's head men's and women's swimming and diving coach Jim Lutz has stepped down from his position, effective immediately. Reportedly, he has been suffering from chronic fatigue syndrome.
Lutz sent an e-mail to coaching colleagues in which he stated: "I have always felt the I must stay true to my convictions and that my family is the top priority in my life. Growing up without a father I made a vow that if I were ever blessed to be a father my children would never feel the pain of not having a parent. As of now I do not have any set plans other than getting rest."
Matt Gianiodis, the Spartans' assistant head coach, will serve as interim head coach for the 2003-04 season.
MSU begins its season with the traditional intrasquad Green & White meet on Oct. 17. The Spartans' first Big 10 Conference dual meet is on October 24 against the University of Iowa.

308 Springfield Armory M1A Socom 16 Black *A-Cat*
Product Description
Brand New Springfield Socom 16 in Black!
Gun City has managed to secure a limited amount of these rifles which can be purchased on an ordinary A-cat licence.
Export out of the US was extremely difficult because the American State Department is very particular about which countries are allowed these rifles and careful who they will issue the export permits to.
Factory Specifications
Springfield Armory SOCOM rifles are compact, powerful, close-quarter, battle rifles. Yet, being chambered for the powerful 7.62mm NATO, they still pack plenty of punch to reach out and make that crucial distance shot.
They feature 16-inch barrels (the shortest allowed for a civilian-owned rifle in the U.S.) made possible by a re-tuned gas system. A proprietary, high-efficiency muzzle brake virtually eliminates muzzle rise, enabling you to stay on target for faster, more accurate follow-up shots.
Calibre: 7.62x51/308
Barrel: 16.25", Twist: 1/11"
Weight: 9.3 lbs.
Length: 37.25"

Starting today, I'm going to post what I do, and what I eat.
My current stats - 5'11" 206 pounds. ~13% Body Fat.
I will warn you ahead of time, I'm currently doing somewhat of a crash diet due to a modification in my health insurance. Since Health insurance companies only care about BMI, I am going to have to get down to 199 by Monday.
As I get closer and closer to my goal, you will hopefully notice my diet changing around. Once I hit ~7% Body fat, I will begin to put on muscle mass again to hit my eventual goal of 225 pounds with 8% body fat.
I will post pictures if you want.

- Adams County judge orders William Fowler to be tried for first-degree murder in ex-business partner's death
BRIGHTON — An Adams County District Court judge today ordered William Rex Fowler, 58, to face first-degree murder charges in the Dec. 31, 2009 shooting of Tom Ciancio.
Judge Francis Wasserman also denied bail for Fowler.
Fowler is accused of shooting Ciancio, 42, three times in the head with a 9mm Glock handgun when Ciancio came to Fowler Software in unincorporated Adams County to collect $9,900 in severance pay. Ciancio, who was Fowler Software's chief operating officer, resigned Nov. 23 in a dispute over the way the company was being managed.
Prosecutors said during a preliminary hearing today that Fowler lured Ciancio to his office to commit a murder suicide.
Investigators say Fowler shot Ciancio three times in the head and then shot himself under the chin in attempt to end his own life.
Prosecutors said they found notes written by Fowler to his wife, and also a living will they say indicated he was going to commit suicide after taking Ciancio's life.
"Fowler took care of his own business before he took care of his own suicide," the prosecutor said.
Fowler's attorney said at worst, her client should face second-degree murder charges.
"This was a professional dispute and it was not based on first-degree murder," defense attorney Sarah Quinn said.

A logic '0' on the ENABLE input enables the clock generator and its output frequency is defined by: 1.4 P1C1 The output signal from the clock generator is connected to the clock inputs of the two D-type flip-flops IC1.A and IC1.B. These two flip flops are connected together in a ring to form a 2-bit shift register so that the Q output of IC1.B is fed back to the D input of IC1.A and the Q output of IC1.A is fed into the D input of IC1.B. This configuration supplies the 4 phase impulses necessary to provide motor rotation. When the DIRECTION input is changed to logic zero IC2C and IC2D operate as non-inverting gates, reversing the phase sequence of the output signals and making the motor spin in the opposite direction.
The actual rotation direction will depend on the sense of the motor windings. Swapping the outer two coil connections on one of the windings will reverse the direction if this is necessary. With the components specified the circuit oscillates at a frequency of 10 Hz. The clock frequency can be adjusted between 0.2 and 100 Hz by substituting different values for P1 and C1. It is important to ensure that power drawn by the stepper motor is within the power handling capability of the driver transistors T1 to T4. Diodes D1 to D4 are necessary to conduct away the back-EMF produced each time a drive impulse to each of the motor coils is switched off.

February 23, 2010
This blog entry is part of a three-part series (check out Part One and Part Three), in which I recount my experiences applying to Law School at age 47, from the circumstances that led me to apply right up until the schools' decision letters started rolling in.
Admitting to myself that I wanted to go to Law School was one thing -- now I had to get in. I knew it was going to be hard but I honestly had no idea what I was up against. There is that obvious moment of hell called the LSAT. Prior to that, I honestly didn't care if the oboe was picked and the saxophone was left home (logic games -- they are only logical to law students). I got to take the test twice. No, not because I enjoyed the first time so very much, but because one of my clients and very good friends had her cancer return. It was just under three weeks away from the test date, and I got to deal with the media frenzy full time -- 24/7. By the time I stopped shaking, it was five days out and any knowledge I had gained had fallen out of my head. I took it anyways, figuring it was going to at least be a great practice session, and had the score cancelled.
Now that the word was out about my desire to go to Law School, everyone started to chime in with their "advice". Question here -- how can people give advice on a topic of which they know absolutely nothing? Oh, wait, that's what pundits on TV do all day. Silly me.
One bit of "advice" I got was from a former corporate attorney. He told me to play up the Entertainment Public Relations skills and keep AIDS off the application. I was like -- "What? You mean I can get into Law School by telling them I held purses in a press line while someone stood and looked pretty?" He suggested I stress my ability to deal with clients and the negotiation skills I have developed. I stammered back, "But what about my piece in the New York Times, honoring me for my work with people with HIV/AIDS?" The best parts of my life, frankly, involved AIDS. How was I supposed to leave those out? Shouldn't I be showing off my strongest colors, not just the ones I think they want to see? He responded with, "Well if they think you are going to die soon, they may not admit you."
I said simply, "I do not want to be a part of anyplace that (1) thinks I am going to die anytime soon, and (2) does not honor everything I have come through to get here." When you have led the life I have led, keeping AIDS off the application was not just cheating yourself, but cheating all of your brothers and sisters with HIV/AIDS.
It was around then that I started to get the hint that I was going to shake some things up just by simply applying to Law School.
According to the American Bar Association's own web site, approximately 4% of their members claim to have a disability. The site goes on to state that this number is rather low, probably because people with disabilities do not apply to Law School. It is discouraged, pretty much outright, to hire, for example, a blind attorney at a major corporate law firm. All of the big firms want to say they are all inclusive, but really, take a look at when they all had their first black partner. Law firms are notorious for being behind the curve on many things, and some are even the most blatant examples of breaking a variety of labor laws. Just because you work for an attorney, doesn't mean he or she is paying attention to the laws that govern your employment situation.
Admittedly I was a bit thrown off course by this man's comment, but I did not allow this to stop me. I felt as if I was on a moving train and I was not going to have a chance to get off. It was too late. I needed to see this to completion, no matter where that might be.
I took the LSAT on December 5, 2009. I was pretty much unable to move for the next 24 hours due to the stress in my body. My boyfriend at the time decided we needed to see the movie PRECIOUS that very night. After sitting through a 4.5 hour test that they managed to extend to 6 hours, PRECIOUS seemed like a light comedy to me.

But none of this could get me ready for the next step. The application process is another slice of hell. Basically you are creating a brief, complete with evidence as to why you should be in Law School. The basic document is your application, and your pieces of evidence are your personal statement, diversity statement, honors list, activities list, resume, letters of recommendation and just about anything else the school thinks it should see.

Zebra Loach
I just got a Zebra Loach and 2 Clown loaches and 3 cardinal tetras a couple days ago. And one other fish but I forget the name. I was wondering if I should get another zebra loach so he won't be the only one in there. Also I was wondering if I should get some sort of cave that the zebra loach can hide in. Because when I watch him it looks like he is trying to make himself comfortable in different places but just can't find a place. I do have a rock that fish can go under but I've only seen him go under there about twice and not for very long. The zebra loach and one of the clown loaches like to sit right behind the heater in the tank and they rest on the spot where it connects to the tank and sometimes they kind of fight over the spot. The clown loach will be in there and then the zebra loach will come up and try to squeeze itself in or sometimes it will push the clown loach out of the way and make room for itself. I don't want the zebra loach to get stressed. And the zebra loach is pretty active but I'm not sure if it's a good thing because I know they like to hide alot. What should I do about the zebra loach?
Zebra loaches are a shoaling loach that are best kept in a group of 5 or more. Lot of caves and hiding spots will be a big +.
What size tank? The clown loaches can grow large, make sure you have adequate room to house a group of fish.
Its only 16 gallon. I know its not that much but at the store i got it at it said that it would get up to about 3-4 inches. So thats why I was only thinking about getting one more.
Not to be cruel, but I think a 16 gal is to small for zebra loaches, way to small for clown loaches.
Most loaches do better in large groups, they are very active social fish. Group of loaches also establish pecking orders, so having only two could cause conflict. One could dominate over the other.
I would like to see you have a group of them, but a 16 gal is just to small for that. I think it would be best to returm the loaches or keep an eye out on Craigslist. Sometimes you can find awsome deals on used aquariums.
Oh. We told the guy at the store what size tank we have and he said it wouldn't be a problem. He also said that the clown loaches only get to about 3-4 inches. These were smaller ones. I see alot of people saying 12 inches. But not these. And same with the zebra ones. But if they do get too big then we'll do something about it. Maybe get a new tank.
Your clown loaches still have the growing potential. If you cannot upgrade to at least 75g, then both species you have need to be replaced with kuhli loaches which are the only species that will fit in a 16g.

Pastor: Joplin's disaster recovery still faces major hurdles
Keynote address given at Prayer Breakfast
Friday, January 6, 2012
It's been 71⁄2 months since that tornado ripped through the middle of Joplin, killing 162 people and destroying hundreds of businesses and more than 7,000 homes and apartments.
"There is an emotional scar that comes out of certain experiences, that are just almost impossible to articulate," said Pastor Randy Gariss of Joplin's College Heights Christian Church.
And the area's leaders are bracing for some deeper troubles that may occur around and after the first anniversary of the May 22 killer storm.
"People can tough out a lot of these emotional things," Gariss told reporters Thursday morning, after delivering the keynote message to the annual Governor's Prayer Breakfast. "Some will go get help. Others just mask it.

Q&A's with Lady Shark Softball Player
By Roudy Mauricin
Veronika Fukunishi, an outfielder for the Miami Dade College softball team has been an asset to her team.
Fukunishi has 14 runs , holds a perfect fielding percentage and is batting .397, all while leading the Lady Sharks (24-16, 12-4 Southern Conference) with 29 RBI and 5 home runs.
"She has been one of the best hitters I've seen in 22 years, and is a very coachable player," MDC head softball coach Carlos Caro said.
The Reporter sat down with the team captain to ask her some questions about life, sports and her career goals.
Q: Why did u choose to play softball at MDC?
A: I choose MDC because I had some friends that were playing softball at the college; we are international players so we didn't know how it works. I came because it was a good opportunity to play softball at the next level.
Q: What gets you hyped up before a game?
A: Hispanic music because everybody dances to it.
Q: Do you have any pregame rituals?
A: I just pray
Q: What is your favorite play in softball?
A: A diving catch. I think it's the most inspirational thing during the game. It makes you want to play more.
Q: What are some of your goals in life?
A: Get my bachelor's degree in business administration, go back to Brazil and help my family so I can provide them a better life, and win one more national championship.
Q: You were part of the national championship team that won it all last year, how does that feel?
A: Amazing. Everyday that you worked, every single ball I tried to catch at practice gave me great results. I don't regret anything. I just wish we could turn back time.
Q: What are some of your hobbies?
A: Sleeping, dancing, but if I don't have softball, I don't have anything to do, because it is already part of me. I need it. It is like a drug for me.
Q: Do you think your team can repeat as champion's this year?
A: The team from last year was perfect! We have to work on it a lot.
Q: President Barack Obama is coming to the MDC North and West Campus graduation ceremony as a guest speaker, anything you want to say to him?
A: That's a hard question. Well try to make the USA a better place to live and I hope to graduate from MDC and meet someone important.

Augustana College Library
Augustana History Department
Augustana College
About the Site
As the capstone of their program, most Augustana history majors take a seminar, usually in their senior year. This is designed to be an intensive experience doing research in primary sources. In the seminar which met in the Fall of 2000, conducted by Thomas F. Mayer , students had an exceptional opportunity to work directly with a seventeenth-century manuscript which the Library had just purchased. It contains the correspondence of Reginald Pole (1500-1558) during the first part of his twin legations from the pope, first for the reconciliation of England to the Catholic church, and second for peace between France and the Empire. Students began with a little training in palaeography (the deciphering of old handwriting) and in codicology (the study of how manuscripts are put together). They then read extensively in secondary sources about an aspect of the legation which they found interesting. After both these preparations, they worked through the materials in the codex (in texts and translations provided by the instructor) in order to produce large research papers, as well as oral presentations to all the members of the department of history and interested students.

@Notsurprised- One of my favorite things about the Nerd/Mike movie reviews is how they really know a lot about the directors and actors (and to an extent locations) to the point where they can just bust out a bunch of trivia that you may not get to see or hear in other places. If they didn't have trivia it would just be them saying 'watch this and this is what happens' or 'don't watch this and this is what happens' which is stale as fuck.daffo19k

Mike,with all the schlock you like I would think you would like this movie. I love this movie. It's always been a classic in my mind,not schlock. The monster looks awesome,the plot is scary,and it's got that fun Charles Band atmosphere.
Everyone,don't take Mike's word on this one. If you like 1980′s horror, watch it and decide for yourself if it's good or bad.PersonNinja

You don't have to tell me to watch Tales from the Crypt! I love that show. I used to watch it on Fox all the time as a kid. I'm not sure if any gore was edited out to get it on network TV, but it was still enjoyable, and there were some freaky stories too, like the ventriloquist episode where it is revealed that the man is so good at his craft because his Siamese Twin brother attached to his arm speaks for the dummy!
I love Creepshow, too. I wasn't sure if they were real comics or not. I guess it's just "inspired by" those old horror comics, as you explained. I have the first Creepshow on tape, actually.FXguy
July 8, 2012 at 10:05 am
Cellar Dweller was written by Don Mancini, who wrote Child's Play (and all the Chucky movies), under a nom-de-plume. Empire Pictures did a lot of silly "Rubber Reality" films like this, The Dungeonmaster, Ghoulies, and Rawhead Rex. Enjoy them for what they are.
July 12, 2012 at 7:41 pm
This was a great review, Mike! Pish-posh on the grumblers that say to quit doing reviews just because James has finished filming the AVGN movie.
One thing that I greatly appreciate that you do that often James does not do in his movie reviews is acknowledge famous cast members like Yvonne de Carlo and provide some history/background of the movie. Keep up the good work!Roth Sothy
August 14, 2012 at 2:51 am
Wow, after so many years, I think I finally found the movie I saw as a kid. I just remember that one last scene where there's a chubby ugly looking monster, like the one in the video thumbnail here, and it has the symbol of darkness on its chest or upside-down David's triangle on its forehead or something like that. We get a close-up view of its face as it comes out from the shadow, then it grins or something like that..
Thanks for reviewing all these classic horrors, Mike!Jzilla

DENVER -- One of the oddest things about last night's Hillary Clinton speech had nothing to do with the senator.
The Secret Service shut down access to the hall while Montana Gov. Brian Schweitzer was delivering his rousing attack on John McCain, leaving hundreds of people unable to get past the party volunteers posted as guards at each of the doorways into the seating area on the first and second levels.
This left hundreds if not thousands of people in the corridors where they had to watch Clinton's speech on TVs stationed around the facility. I nearly became one of those people forced to watch the speech on TV even though the real thing was happening only a few hundred feet away.
After speedwalking around nearly the entire arena and bouncing between floors, I finally made my way to Tribune's broadcasting booth and watched Clinton's speech from there.
This led to one of the evening's best moments, for me at least. Not only did I get to witness Clinton's historic speech, but I got to see WGN-TV anchor Allison Payne, an old acquaintance who I used to bump into on news assignments in Chicago. She was one of several Tribune TV journalists providing coverage of Clinton's speech.
(WGN-TV c0-anchors Mark Suppelsa and Allison Payne prepare for live shot.)
I didn't know Allison was at the convention, not having the chance to see WGN's convention coverage or much of our Tribune Broadcasting colleagues in recent days; they occupy a different working space than we do on the print side. She looked great, which was good news in itself as she recovers from her strokes.
Didn't get to talk with her since she was preparing for, then conducting a live shot, that happened right after Clinton finished. But like many of her fans, I just enjoyed seeing her back in action.

Terrance Wise has two jobs in Kansas City — one at a burger joint, a second at a pizza restaurant – but he says his paychecks aren't enough to buy shoes for his three daughters and insure his 15-year-old car. So he decided to draw attention to his plight: He walked off work in protest.
SEE ALSO: 'Frankenburger' Cooked, Served At London Conference
Wise was among a few thousand fast-food workers in seven cities, including New York, Chicago and Detroit, who took to the streets last week, carrying "Strike" and "Supersize Our Wages" signs in front of McDonalds, Wendy's, Burger King and other restaurants. They demanded better pay, the right to unionize and a more than doubling of the federal minimum hourly wage from $7.25 to $15.
"We work hard for companies that are making millions," the 34-year-old Wise says, adding that he lost his home last year, unable to make mortgage payments despite working about 50-hour weeks at Pizza Hut and Burger King. "We're not asking for the world. We want to make enough to make a decent living. We deserve better. If they respect us and pay us and treat us right, it'll lift up the whole economy."
These one-day protests, which also took place in St. Louis, Milwaukee and Flint, Mich., come amid calls from the White House, some members of Congress and economists to raise the federal minimum wage, which was last increased in 2009. Most of the proposals, though, seek a more modest rise than those urged by fast-food workers. President Barack Obama wants to boost the hourly wage to $9. And in July, more than 100 economists signed a petition supporting a bill sponsored by a Florida congressman that would hike it to $10.50 an hour.
The restaurant industry argues that a $15 hourly wage could lead to businesses closings and fewer jobs. It also notes the cost of living varies greatly around the country and many states have higher minimum wages than the federal rate. (Eighteen states and the District of Columbia, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.)
The Employment Policies Institute, which receives some funding from the industry, ran a full-page ad last week in USA Today, warning of another potential consequence: It showed the uniform of a fast-food worker with an iPad face, saying the wage increase could result in employees being replaced with automation, such as touch-screen ordering.
So at a time when the economy is growing steadily but slowly and about 11.5 million people are unemployed – nearly double the level before the Great Recession – how likely is it Congress will increase the minimum wage? And have these protests done any good?
The answers depend on whom you ask.
"They're very effective," says U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison, a Minnesota Democrat and co-chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus. "They've brought attention to appalling conditions with workers putting in very long hours … and not making enough money to survive. This I think is scandal. .. We believe it's essential to be paid livable wages. We know the companies can afford it. These are highly profitable businesses. It would be good not just for the family budget but for the national budget."
Ellison's caucus launched a national "Raise Up America" campaign this summer that has partnered with fast-food workers and others in low-wage industries to highlight the call for better salaries. The congressman says he's not deterred by likely resistance in the GOP-dominated House.
"Remember, things that don't look possible become possible if people advocate for them," he says, adding that in 1955 someone was probably saying "they're never going to end segregation. … Sometimes these things catch on. I think the thing to do is keep on pushing, keep on talking. … That's how we win."
But others are more skeptical and think if there is a winner, it's unions. The Service Employees International Union is providing financial support and staff to help train organizers for this campaign.
These protests show unions "still can appeal to and speak for workers who are on the fringes of the workforce – the less skilled, the part-timers and the immigrant workers," Gary Chaison, professor of industrial relations at Clark University in Massachusetts, wrote in an email.
These still are hard times, people are happy to be employed and the political climate in the House is not conducive for an increase, he adds. "The demonstrations are street theater and the rehabilitation of the image of American unions, but it's not going to drive new minimum wage policy," he wrote.
Scott DeFife, executive vice president of the National Restaurant Association, calls the protests a campaign "to disparage the industry," which he says operates on a tight profit margin. Doubling wages, he says, "would definitely have an impact on the creation of new jobs." He says it would be especially harmful for young people, for whom the jobless rate in some communities is already in the double digits.

text: A few months ago, a good friend of mine presented me with an opportunity to co-own/invest/manage a bike shop with him. It seams now that I jumped at the chance of doing things my way and in a way, fix the flaws of the other est. LBSs here. perhaps a decision with out a huge amount of consideration. oh well. But here I am ready to open in some time next month. With the ridiculously cheap overhead and a perfect outlet for my 43 used bikes for a start, it seams like a done deal, at least for the first few months. Being a college town we'll be catering to fixies, motorized bikes, bmx, and cheap affordable hardtails for everyone. So other than the legal stuff which we've got covered, what tips/tricks/pitfalls can yall tell me about owning an LBS. Oh and yes Ive had much experience working/managing in a shop. Also what bike brands are good to do business with? Im looking at GT, fuji, and kona specifically. Any advice is welcome.

How can I speed up my morning dawdler?
It's a constant struggle to get my daughter up and out in the morning. She refuses to wash her face, brush her teeth, get dressed, or let me comb her hair. I've tried getting her to bed earlier, but it doesn't make the mornings any better.

I bought an egg timer. I set it at 2-20 minutes for whatever task I need my daughter to complete. For example: 5 minutes to pee and brush her teeth, 5 to get dressed, ect...Each time she " beat the clock!" she got a check on her chart and at the end of the week if her chart was filled with checks she won a prize. It really worked and now mornings are a breeze!posted 03/16/2006 by ecgray
I just want to say "Thank you". I swore I was alone. Not alone but a little different. My 5 year old has been late for school 3 times, she throws huge fits in the morning and refuses to get ready for school. I agree getting up a little early usually works for me too and I have done the chart too, we still have our mornings that just dont go good at all. I am struggling very hard to figure out what it is, I know some of if is a control issue but I wonder if there is something else wrong to make her act this way. I am a stay at home mom and we never really "had" to get up in the morning. I highly recommend a morning ritual way before kindergarten starts. :)posted 11/21/2006 by a BabyCenter Member
Actually, our morning routine is very similar to Joy's family's ... but I think it's very important to start the morning routine "the night before". We set a 'bedtime' each night based on the previous morning's schedule. If it was hectic because of lack of sleep or claiming to be too tired and not getting going, then the bedtime that night is 30 minutes earlier. If it was a good morning, bedtime that night can be usual time or maybe 5-10 minutes later. If we have an excellent morning where everything stays on track and all activities are done WHEN they're supposed to be done, bedtime can be pushed back 15-30 minutes. Reminders of this tend to help. I have myself and three daughters to get ready in the morning; but only one (the 7-year-old) goes to school. Without bus service though, we all have to load up and take her there. My other two are 3-y-o and 16 months. As challenging as it can be somedays, I've implemented the same system Joy uses. I wake my 7-y-o up early enough so she isn't getting rushed out of bed quickly and set in front of her breakfast. I usually start waking her up slowly and quietly until I see movement (stretching) or her eyes blinking. Then I go into a little song ("shimmy, shimmy, shake, shake ... time to be awake") and I softly shake her while I sing it until she is awake. Then we pick out her clothes for the day, go down to the kitchen and get her breakfast. Once she starts eating, I set a timer. She knows that IF she finishes her breakfast before the timer goes off, she has that much time to turn the TV on and watch cartoons. Once the timer goes off, she knows she's to go upstairs to brush her teeth, get dressed and brush through her hair (I generally fix it if she wants a 'style' but most of the other things she does on her own because I'm getting the other two ready). I started this when she started preschool and it's been a good routine and has taught her the importance, as well, of having a limited time to eat in so she's done well during school lunch-time too. I can't say that we get out the door EVERY morning at the perfect time, but she is only 7 and I see her realizing the importance of 'schedules' and being 'on-time' with each passing day; especially on the days we pull up to school and everyone else is inside already. When she grumbles about walking in late, that's when I explain to her the reason for the timers and WHY she needs to 'keep moving' and not dawdle in between brushing teeth, getting dressed, brushing her hair or even putting her shoes on. It's not perfection, nor will it ever be, but it's really been a good routine and helps keep the mornings from being TOO hectic. :)posted 09/21/2004 by Xcited2HelpU
Unfortunately my daughter does NOT have a problem getting up, in her mind - The earlier the better. But then again she has a bed time of no later than 8pm. She wakes at between 5:30 and 6am...everyday. (My husband is the dawdler) But we also don't vary her schedule (no matter how much sleep mommy gets). We also make sure that EVERYTHING is prepared the night before. We make clothing outfits, shoe choices, bag's are packed and checked, breakfast is partially made (egg burrito and fruit slices are made the night before and the burrito is popped into the microwave when she's ready) , and she eats while I do her hair. Another great reason is that she LOVES going to school- she's gone since she was 2 and every morning she can't wait to get out the door. Even on weekends- same routine but we just play outside or go for a walk instead.posted 04/12/2011 by a BabyCenter Member
I love hearing others struggles because I don't feel so alone...ESPECIALLY the Mom who wrote about how her daughters shoes and socks are never just right and her daughters hair is too tight/too loose. My daughter has had tantrums about these same issues. She does OK now with most tasks, but we NEVER wear her hair up because it is such a tantrum inducer. It makes me sad because I miss getting to put it up. The trade off of not fighting about it is nice though. Only I wonder if I am letting her win in a sense by just not ever putting it up? Any way thanks to all for helping me to not feel so alone!posted 10/22/2007 by smilegrl
I really liked the suggestion about the chart and cutting pictures out so they know what they have to do in the morning, Thanks!!posted 09/14/2005 by a BabyCenter Member
My daughter (age 6) is just not a morning person. She just does not want to get out of bed. I know what time she sets her alarm. I go up 5 minutes later to wake her. Then 5-10 minutes after that and we go on about this for about 30 minutes. Then mommy or daddy has to rock her in the rocking chair (she's spoiled). Once she finally gets up and around, she's very grumpy. She usually gets 9 to 10 hours of sleep a night. My son is 10 and he gets right up in the morning and gets ready. He's very well behaved, but my daughter is grumpy a lot, just like her momma ;-) Anything I can do?posted 02/01/2006 by MommaNicki81
What to do when you've tried all these suggestions and then some, and it still doesnt work? advice?posted 11/28/2005 by a BabyCenter Member
At night, when you are reading stories and getting her ready for bed talk about what you are going to do the next day. Consider making a chart together of what you do each morning and the order that the things should be done in - this is helpful for kids who cannot read yet. Yout can cut pictures out of magazines - i.e. get up, get dressed, brush hair, brush teeth. Seems like the stickers got a bad wrap but maybe not stickers but starts for her "big girl responsibility star chart" for each time she does part of the morning routine - it should not take long before they are doing the steps each morning. NO cartoons in the morning unless she is 100% ready to go. Do as much as you can the night before - ask her what do you want to wear tomorrow? If possible, pick out breakfast foods for in the morning. In regards to brushing hair, trying asking her how she would like to fix her hair (within reason, is it tangled, get some Johnson & Johnson no more tangles that you can spray in before and after she washes her hair). Setting up a routine, allowing her to be part of setting the rountine (making the chart)and decisions increases buy in and does not make her feel like you are always the one telling her what to do. Yes, that is our job as parents but is also our job to teach them to make decisions and be responsible put together 18 year olds. The book Parenting with Love and Logic has more great ideas or you might check out their web site www.loveandlogic.com. Good luckposted 09/27/2004 by H&H'sMom
just a thought here, try to understand that all kids are different... some are morning kids and like to hurry to get ready.. some are slow to get going... you can either stress trying to make your child become something he/she isnt or you can adapt your routine to work with what you have. Now, Im not saying that you let the child run the whole morning, but for instance, my 4 yr old just always needs an hour to do everything before we leave (that is the time for waking up, getting dressed, eating breakfast, checking backpack, ect) and if you try to cut it back by just 10 min, the world ends... if we run over by 10 min, shes telling me to hurry.. lol that is just her schedule... main problem i have is trying to get dad to understand that. he is active military and understandably he only needs 15 min to be ready and leave in the a.m., but not her. I also get up early so i can be ready (or mostly ready) before my daughter even wakes up... and making sure they are getting enough sleep is a big thing too... my daughter, if she has less than 11-12 hrs of sleep she is a right pain in the morning...posted 10/16/2004 by MaryGaige

I've rubarb growing at the side of the garden and it is huge, it was picked for a final time about mid July, it's a well established crown but I don't remember it ever growing to this size, it's screaming out pick me and I'm tempted. Is it likely to affect next years growth if I do? It's been picked since April and wasn't forced this year.
My rhubarb is huge too, think it must have loved all the rain this year. I'm certainly going to start watering ours more in dry spells. I'm not sure about picking it now, the ony reason I haven't been tempted myself is that it's now big enough to divide in to more plants in autumn.
On Gardeners' Question Time recently, one of the panellists said that there was no reason not to go on using rhubarb as long as the plants look vigorous. Mine is always very big and strong, and this year it is massive, so we had a rhubarb crumble last weekend. Both I and the rhubarb are still fighting fit, so I don't think it did either of us any harm.
So so so so so so so so so so jealous. Rhubarb crowns are rarer than hens' dentures here in central Italy.
That's decided then, I'll pick it one last time at the weekend. Would you believe it, there's no slug damage either
Slugs aren't a problem with my rhubarb either. I think it's so huge and sturdy that it intimidates them. Or possibly it's a carnivorous type of rhubarb that eats slugs for breakfast - it certainly looks as if it could (sorry, Italophile, it's our compensation for cool, wet weather).
We could do with some cool, wet weather here, GM. Hasn't rained in Tuscany for five months and we're into our second month in the mid-30s. I've had to yank three or four tom plants early because they're not even flowering. Just a waste of precious water. Every local with a vegie garden that I speak to is having their worst season in memory.

Are Three Cast Members Being Cut from Storage Wars?
by Chris Pursell | May 2, 2013 at 10:28 PM | Storage Wars
After a legal battle with former cast member Dave Hester made headlines in recent months, is A&E's popular series "Storage Wars" about to drop three more member of the cast?
That's the report from Radar Online, which states that Darrell Sheets as well as Dan and Laura Dotson are also on the outs with the series. The article writes that Sheets as well as the Dotsons were frozen out of portions of the series, noting that the show was cutting back on some of the more expensive talent in order to bring in fresh faces.
"It seems as if they are going after some of the higher paid cast members," the source said. "And meanwhile they are expanding the franchise. "
Before "Storage Wars" fans had a chance to get worked up, however, A&E quickly denied the report, according to TV Guide.
"Not every cast member appears in every episode of the series, but there is no truth to the report that any other members have been dropped," a network rep told the site.
As for Hester, his lawsuit against the show is still pending.

3 ways to affect depth of field: free cheat sheet
Depth of field, or ability to control which parts of your pictures are sharp, is one of the main advantages of owning an SLR camera. Look at a scene with your own eyes, and everything from your feet to the horizon is usually in focus. But your pictures do not need to look like this.
You can set up your digital camera so that only certain parts of the shot are in sharp focus, and others are artistically blurred. This allows you to create emphasis where you want it – and to hide elements that would otherwise prove distracting.
Your lens can only focus sharply at one distance. However, due to the optical property known as 'depth of field' a range of distances will actually appear sharp. This zone of sharpness will vary enormously.
Our latest photography cheat sheet examines three common ways you can affect depth of field.
