Innocent VII The choice of Cardinal Cosmino de Migharatias as pope in 1404 was not a popular one. The Romans rioted, and Ladislaw of Naples quelled their unrest. Antipope Benedict XIII at Avignon also opposed the election of Innocent VII. A canon lawyer and cardinal from Bologna, Innocent agreed to end the schism between the pope in Rome and the antipope in Avignon, but he refused Benedict safe passage when he arrived to negotiate in 1405. That year, Innocent contended again with rioting Romans, who protested the misbehavior of his nephew, Ludovico. Innocent fled to Viterbo to escape the strife. While he was away, Ladislaw returned and conquered Rome. The Romans then invited Innocent VII to come back to Rome the following year. By excommunicating Ladislaw, Innocent re-established himself as the ruler of Rome. Before his death that year, Innocent began a reorganization of the University of Rome.

President Obama isn't following his own advice when it comes to lower interest rates.
Obama encouraged homeowners last year to refinance their mortgages to lock in lower rates, saying the move would save them money and free up cash to help buy a new car or purchase their child a laptop computer.
The president and first lady Michelle ObamaMichelle ObamaOvernight Tech: Facebook's Sandberg comes to Washington | Senate faces new surveillance fight | Warren enters privacy debate Michelle Obama signs up for Snapchat Michelle Obama: 'It's time for us to come together' MORE are still paying down a loan on their home in Chicago's Hyde Park neighborhood that they first took out in 2005, despite a higher-than-market rate.
Vice President Biden, however, heeded the president's call. The vice president refinanced his Delaware home with a new, 30-year mortgage that carries a 3.375 percent interest rate. He also refinanced two home equity lines of credit to lock in lower rates.
In total, the Obamas' assets were estimated at between $1.95 million and $7.15 million, excluding their Chicago home. Most of that money was tied up in investments and Treasury notes, including college funds for their young daughters. Interestingly, the first lady maintains her own checking account, while the president does not.
The Bidens' assets were worth between $276,000 and $940,000, according to the disclosure forms.
Members of the White House staff will complete similar disclosure forms to be posted online within the next month.

You know how when you're dieting—when you have a goal to fit into that special outfit for your friend's wedding and you have six weeks to get there—you know exactly how much you can indulge and how much you need to plan each meal? You spend those six weeks fully in the mindset of someone with a plan and a commitment. It's exciting to get the to wedding feeling good about your accomplishment and looking great.
What I'm about to tell you is that you feel accomplished because of the thoughtfulness behind the process. You could have crash-dieted and starved yourself ten days before the event. But you know that you would have been miserable every one of those ten days, and likely at the wedding too, because your energy levels would be erratic and your body would be reeling from the sudden shock to your system.
When fixing a point in your future, ask yourself if it is good for everyone involved. Am I going to be exhausted and out of sorts if I commit to a marathon without enough time to train for it? Will my family enjoy the duck and cover if I am? Will completing the goal be at all enjoyable? Or was it just something I said I'd do, so I'm doing it?
It's the Thought That Counts
I can't tell you how many times I have jumped into action on a goal totally unprepared because I worried I'd feel left out if I didn't rise to the challenge. That goes for all of the examples I listed above. My biggest (and most current) understanding, as I limp out of a real estate crash, contemplate my city's upcoming marathon, and plan what to wear to my high school reunion, is to be thoughtful about what I'm agreeing to, rather than agreeing based on false sense of self.
When you're truly conscious about all the aspects of a challenge, you realize that the preparing for it is half the achievement. The biggest set-up is when you get so focused on the goal, you forget it's about the process, about the exercise. The same thing goes with financial planning, marathon running, real estate buying, spending less that you earn, losing ten pounds…just about any goal setting one can do.
It's All the same
Challenge: I love running. I can will myself through my city's upcoming marathon without the proper preparation, but it won't be satisfying. It will be painful, and will be a hollow victory without all of the fun of the training runs.
Health: I'm determined to lose ten pounds at all costs. So, I do a liquids-only master cleanse, and get so fixated that I forget my real goal is to have a healthy, fit body that weighs less over time.
Money: The concept, "I'll do whatever I can to get out of debt," caused people to roll their credit card debt into equity, and now they're paying 20 to 50 times the interest on that same credit card debt over time than they would have if they had paid the regular amount due plus a little on principle.
If you're not holding all of your core needs and all of your desires in mind when you make a choice, and you're only focused on the goal, you miss the juiciest part of your accomplishment: its sustainability.

Intel has gone into the open source Apache Hadoop business with its own distribution, which it calls the Intel Distribution for Apache Hadoop or simply the Intel Distribution.
Its reason for joining the Hadoop push is to sell more high-end Xeon server chips into scalable Hadoop clusters by goosing Hadoop's development. It also wants to move solid-state memory and its own networking.
Obviously it thinks the stuff is pretty fundamental.
As part of its effort Intel has added features to the Hadoop widgetry that nobody else has like silicon-based security. That makes Intel's the only Hadoop distribution to include complete encryption.
Since the widgetry supports the AES instructions in the Xeon chip, it's supposed to maximize Big Data performance and, together with the other improvements Intel has added, promises a 40% performance boost.
Intel's got 20 partners supporting the initial launch of its Hadoopery, as the Register calls it, a term we'll happily steal. These partners are supposed to integrate Intel's software into next-generation platforms and solutions and enable deployment in public and private cloud environments.
The partners include Cisco, Dell, Pentaho, Red Hat, SAP, SAS, Savvis, SuperMicro, Tableau, Teradata, Wipro and Zettaset.
Intel says it will open source all but it's most prized Hadoop platform enhancements as well as invest in more R&D to build analytic solutions for Hadoop. Whether this largesse gives rivals like Cloudera, MapR and Hortonworks a leg up remains to be seen. Intel's subscription pricing is supposed to be competitive.
Intel's off-limits proprietary software so far includes Intel Manager for Apache Hadoop software, which is supposed to simplify the deployment, configuration and monitoring of clusters for system administrators as they set up new applications.
Then there's Intel Active Tuner for Apache Hadoop software, which is supposed to take the guesswork out of performance tuning. Intel says until now this required a special understanding of each application's use of system resources along with Hadoop configuration and performance benchmarks. Now it doesn't.
Meanwhile, Intel's started Project Rhino, an open source effort to improve the data protection capabilities of the Hadoop ecosystem. The point is to improve encryption and authentication and make security more granular.
Intel imagines - and no one can gainsay this - that there will be literally tons of information coming from billions of sensors and intelligent systems; it estimates that the world generates a petabyte of data every 11 seconds, the equivalent of 13 years of HD video.
It thinks it can exploit the fact that "only a small fraction of the world is able to extract meaning from all of this information because the technologies, techniques and skills available today are either too rigid for the data types or too expensive to deploy."
And it figures the information derived from Hadoop can enrich our lives, not just make us easy marks for advertisers, by, say, accurately pinpointing customized treatments for terminal diseases.
Intel's distribution is supposed to analyze a terabyte of data, which normally takes more than four hours to fully process, in seven minutes because of its data-crunching chips and software.
Intel has been fooling around with its own Hadoop distribution for a few years ever since it formed a relationship with Yahoo and HP and is now on its third iteration based on the Apache Hadoop stack.
It has done work on the Hadoop Distributed File System, the YARN MapReduce 2.0 distributed processing framework, the Hive SQL query tool and the HBase key-value store.
Intel was reportedly pushed to putting something on the market next quarter by China Unicom and China Mobile, a couple of Chinese telecoms, to help with some performance issues in the Hadoop stack when running on Xeon chips.
Intel will distribute its version of Hadoop, developed in China, through vendors and service providers and sell its own technical support services. It says it won't fork the system.

Retired Baylor School teacher Roger Vredeveld saw some pretty countryside and quaint towns while taking a roughly 10-day bicycle trip recently from Chattanooga to Charlottesville, Va.
However, the most stunning and attractive scenes he found were those of the human spirit displaying itself in a friendly manner.
On several occasions, he said, he was the recipient of random acts of kindness from people trying to help him along the way.
"What really was amazing to me was that I benefited so much from unbelievably kind hospitality from strangers," he said. "I met a lot of nice people.
"When you are on a loaded bike, I don't know if you just seem vulnerable, but people want to help you."
Mr. Vredeveld, who just retired this spring as a history teacher from the school where he graduated in 1979, is an avid bike rider, but he made plans for the trip only recently.
However, he has been mentally pondering such a journey for a long time. When he was young, he said, his parents were both educators, so they had some time in the summers to take long family trips out West.
He continued the tradition as a young adult and as his children, Nathan and Kristen, were coming along.
Not too long ago, he was visiting the Black Hills of South Dakota and started talking with a young couple on a long bike trip.
"I remember thinking, "Wow, this looks cool,' " Mr. Vredeveld remarked.
He recently bought a sturdier touring bike to allow him to carry some side bags, and with his swimming son, Nathan, having graduated from the University of Virginia and finishing up helping with a junior swim camp, he decided to head to Charlottesville.
Mr. Vredeveld left his Chattanooga home on Sunday, June 23, and arrived in Charlottesville on Wednesday, July 3.
However, the journey, and not arriving at the destination, is what he will remember the most. In fact, from the start, he realized it would be an unusually pleasant trip.
The first day, for example, he went up Highway 58 and was outside Kingston when a man on a motorcycle pulled up beside him and asked him where he was headed.
After a brief-but-amicable conversation, the man wished him well and went on. Then, when Mr. Vredeveld stopped at a Sonic in Kingston, he saw the man again.
This time, instead of just a greeting the Chattanoogan, he also had a gift. After learning Mr. Vredeveld did not have any housing arrangements for the night, he handed him a card from the local Super 8 motel and said, "Show this to the manager. Tell him your room is paid for."
He had also made arrangements for him to have a complimentary breakfast the next day at the local Handy Burger and for him to have three Powerades for his trip.
At the restaurant, he learned that the man's first name was Jack, and that he was known for doing random acts of kindness for people.
The next day, Mr. Vredeveld rode through Oak Ridge and later had lunch at Hunter's deli in the area of Knoxville near Halls High School. Eating another big meal because of all the calories he was burning, he started talking with the operator in the restaurant and telling him about his trip.
Before Mr. Vredeveld knew it, this meal ended up being complimentary as well.
"I haven't paid for anything yet," Mr. Vredeveld said with a laugh
He then continued on up to a Cherokee Lake campground above Morristown and found a place to stay. The nearest restaurant was several miles away, and after riding more than 90 miles that day, he did not feel like having to ride anymore.
So he talked to the operator, saying he would buy someone's dinner if the person or persons would drive him there. The operator told him to hop in his golf cart, and they began driving around the campground looking for suitors.
They did not go more than 15 or 20 yards before stopping at a campsite, where the family offered to give him a plate of homemade food.
Just as enriching, he discovered, was the conversation he enjoyed.
"These were coal miners from Eastern Kentucky," Mr. Vredeveld said. "I ended up hearing about coal mines. They were retired and fished on the lake. They were lovely people."
He eventually went on his way and entered the state of Virginia. But the hospitality he found in Tennessee remained the same.
For example, Mr. Vredeveld soon realized that one of his wheels did not sound right, so he stopped at a bicycle shop in Abingdon. The mechanic discovered not enough grease was getting to the ball bearings, so he fixed it – free of charge.
Later, as he continued through Virginia, he decided to get online and join a network called warmshowers.org, in which traveling bike riders agree to host other traveling bikers.
After signing himself up as a host, Mr. Vredeveld decided to see if he could find someone to host him in Blacksburg.
He randomly called a man named Mike Abraham, who agreed to let him stay. Not only did Mr. Vredeveld get to take a shower and get some clothes washed, but Mr. Abraham and his wife also took him out to a potluck house party and an on-site folk concert.
He had such a good time visiting with Mr. Abraham – a novelist who is also running for the state legislature in Virginia – that he stayed an extra night.
"I had some great conversations with really nice people," he said. "I would never have met him, but I happened to call him up."
He later stayed near Charlottesville with an old family friend, Louise Freeman Davis.
Mr. Vredeveld then rode on to Charlottesville and was able to drive back to Chattanooga with his son – a little worn out physically but no doubt greatly refreshed emotionally.
While some of the days covered more miles than others, and parts of the trip featured steeper and more grueling routes than others, he still managed to find a sameness in the gracious hospitality he experienced.
In fact, it greatly restored his faith in humanity, he added.
"I was amazed how incredibly friendly and open people will be," he said. "It was a great experience."
Mr. Vredeveld is already planning a much longer bike trip next year to see his daughter, Kristen, who is joining the swim team at the University of California at Berkeley along with fellow freshman and Olympic champion Missy Franklin.
If that trip is anything like this one, however, whom Mr. Vredeveld sees along the way will likely be more memorable than what he sees.

Data is quickly becoming one of those certainties in life, like death and taxes. It'll always be there, and like the Once-ler's Thneed factory from The Lorax (sorry, I have kids), data figures to keep on biggering, and biggering, and biggering and biggering.
More data means more knowledge, greater insights, smarter ideas and expanded opportunities for organizations to harness and learn from their data. Banks, retailers and even government are embracing big data, but while IDC estimated the big data market at $2.2 billion in 2011, only 6% of that investment came from health care.
On the flip side, a 2011 report from McKinsey Global Institute suggests if health care in the U.S. used big data to drive efficiency and quality, the potential could be more than $300 billion in value every year.
So big data investment by health care is small and growing, but the potential is significant. To realize that potential requires data to be secured and protected at all times, assuring information accuracy and integrity. A major concern with big data systems is their inherent lack of security. A typical NoSQL data store lacks a number of key security features that are available in traditional databases or provided by a third-party security vendors. This is going to be a big issue and potential barrier to entry for big data moving forward.
Consider this case of an urban health care facility just outside of Washington D.C., where the emergency room was experiencing an alarmingly high rate of returning patients. To determine the root cause of the situation, researchers sifted through data collected from more than 300,000 ER visits. By correlating seemingly unrelated information, they were able to surmise that the length of stay of a patient was a key factor in determining whether they would make a return trip to the ER. Now doctors can determine the likelihood that a patient will need to be readmitted to the ER and tailor their follow-ups accordingly.
Just imagine if this data had been skewed either by a rogue insider with access to the data or by a malicious actor outside the hospital. Researchers would have come back with an entirely different view of the problem and perhaps a less effective solution.
This underscores the importance of securing big data through a layered approach that employs firewalls, authentication, patch and configuration management, antivirus and event monitoring tools.
Ultimately, the safest thing a health care provider can do to maintain data integrity, limit access to sensitive material and enable HIPAA-HITECH compliance is to encrypt all data at rest. By encrypting data, storing the keys in a separate, secure environment and enforcing tight controls governing who (or what) can access the encryption keys, organizations can create a hardened barrier around their sensitive data.
In the event of a device theft - currently the most common type of data breach in health care due to the high number of mobile devices storing unprotected health records - encryption ensures data cannot be read by unauthorized parties, while access controls restrict data from third-party vendors like cloud or SaaS providers.
To secure regulated HIPAA data stored in popular big data stores such as Hadoop, it's important to use a Linux encryption tool that offers the aforementioned features and does not impact the performance of the rapid-fire MapReduce queries that make big data technology so valuable in the first place.
The bottom line is, there needs to be some middle ground where patients feel their protected health information is secure, while hospitals and research organizations have the access and ability to conduct big data analyses that improve the quality of the care they're providing.
After all, as my friend the Once-ler once might have said, good health care is what everyone, everyone, EVERYONE needs.
SaaS companies can greatly expand revenue potential by pushing beyond their own borders. The challenge is how to do this without degrading service quality.

Belmar was justly proud recently when it was announced that the borough's beach was voted #1 in Monmouth County and #5 in the state.
Those rankings come courtesy of the Top Ten Beaches Competition, sponsored by New Jersey Tourism, the NJ Sea Grant Consortium, and the Richard Stockton College of New Jersey Coastal Research Center.
Belmar Mayor Matthew Doherty said upon learning the news, We are excited to win this prestigious award. We are proud of the positive changes we made to the beach, and we look forward to a great summer season.
Assemblyman Sean Kean of Monmouth County commended Belmar for maintaining an excellent stretch of beach in a press release. Because as we all know, politicians are always happy when something good happens on their watch that doesn't involve property tax reform. As a frequent visitor to the municipality and the beaches and boardwalk in Belmar, I salute Mayor Doherty and the residents of Belmar for their outstanding achievements on behalf of the effort to bring notoriety and success to the municipality.
Born and raised in Massachusetts at the gateway to Cape Cod, however, I've always held a somewhat jaundiced view of Jersey beaches. Yes, everything you've heard about Hyannis and Provincetown is true. Both communities boast beaches so big and beautiful that the Kennedys colonized the former and the gays the latter. In Jersey, the hair is higher than the sand dunes and they actually make you pay to get on em!
Be that as it may, over my years here I have, like a true New Jerseyan, developed beach bias. Yes, whether you know it or not, as an outsider it is my duty to break the news to you that you are most likely prejudiced in a way you never really knew. You, too, no doubt practice beach bias.
I've observed that Jersey folk are as passionately devoted to their beaches as they are to either the Giants and the Yankees or the Jets and Mets (both pairings not at all random but the subject of another column).
Geography plays a part. The first seaside community I landed in after a brief stop in Howell was Ocean Grove. Naturally, I planted my umbrella by the Victorian enclaves historic Fishing Pier. Ocean Grove's beach was blissfully commercefree and relatively quiet. Back then, Belmar was honky-tonk and too much of a culture shock for a genteel New Englander.
Yet soon, when I made plans to go to the beach with co-workers, I learned that for Shark River Hills residents, Avon-by-the- Sea was their sandy Shangri-La. But why can't we meet in Ocean Grove, I sputtered...? Because Avon was THEIR beach, was the coolly delivered answer.
And so, as I struck up more and more friendships, I became a sort of beach trollop, flip-flopping down various boardwalks experiencing vicarious love for beaches which would never be my own. My family had not come coasting down Sylvania Avenue for generations to reach the waterline nor had they hurtled down Route 195 to Belmar ever since I was a baby - as so many of my new compatriots had. The unbreakable bond between themselves and their beaches was stronger than any newfound friendship, and thus Ocean Grove was my spurned lover for many summers.
But gradually, as my New Jersey-ness began to assert itself, I rediscovered the former flame which burned my feet and re- embraced the peaceful space and easy walking distance that the Grove offered. You see, Ocean Grove is MY beach.
It shares some affection with the newly redeveloped waterfront of Asbury Park these days, however, and I justify that capriciousness by recalling Cape Cod and turning up my nose altogether at the tiny strips of sand called 'beaches' in New Jersey. But I will never believe that Belmar has the Best Beach in Monmouth County or is ranked Number 5 in the state. I've now eaten too much pork roll not to put up a fight for Ocean Grove.
Still, it must be recognized that Belmars boisterous image has undergone a transformation in recent years. As the borough points out, Our staff cleans and grooms the beach every morning, and smoking is prohibited on every beach and boardwalk, except in designated smoking areas. We have a stellar team of lifeguards, police, first aid, water rescue and fire department members ready to assist customers when needed.
Belmars beaches have activities for children like boogie boarding, kayaking and surfing. We offer a surf camp at 3rd Avenue where visitors of all ages can take surfing lessons. For active beachgoers who prefer dry land activities, several of our beaches are equipped with poles for volleyball nets; even if you dont have your own equipment, its easy to join a game.
The sprinkles on the ice cream, though? When compared to surrounding beach communities 2011 prices, our season beach badge is the lowestpriced at $50 and our $7 daily badge is the second lowest, they state.
So that win comes with an asterisk. * They cheated!
Excuse my bluntness. Im from Jersey now.

The London-based shipping consultant reported that OOCL of Japan was the most reliable container shipping carrier in May, with an on-time performance score of 81.1 percent.

The United States Senate also confirmed the reappointment of Federal Maritime Commissioners Rebecca F. Dye and Michael A. Khouri, whose terms will now last until 2020 and 2021, respectively.

Gay soldiers remain in custody after White House stunt

Good for them. Sadly I bet their treatment now will be nasty by the authorities. Let hope they don't do it alone.
Good effort! its moments like these in history that get remembered (ie. like simple a simple act of not giving up a bus seat).
This is different of course, but the fact they did it with the military uniform on will make a big difference
Send your thoughts to Obama via: http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact
Or you could just send my message Bellow.
Dear Presidant Obama, Democratic party and America,
The world is watching you the Democratic party and America.
Free Lt Dan Choi and Captain Jim Pietrangelo prisoners of your broken promises. If they are not released and given a full pardon you will find that next it will be the world chained to the Whitehouse railings not just two GI's.
Shame on you Obama, Democrats and America, free the Whitehouse two NOW.
Come on PinkNews this should be the top story as we need people power to free these two!
The Whitehouse two leave court after pleading not guilty
Lt. Dan Choi and Captain Jim Pietrangelo where brought into the court room handcuffed and heavy leg shackles, and where told of their options after being charged with Failure to Obey A Lawful Order by a Police Officer. You cannot be jailed for this offence, however it seems these two GI's could! The Judge gave them the following options:
* go to trial
* pay a $100-$1000 fine that would go to a special victims fund
* pay a $100 fine with the case closed to avoid a trial with no admission of guilt.
The judge was surprised when both declared "not guilty" and wanted to proceed with a trial. What this means is that they will face a different judge in a different court and they have to retain their own attorneys. Lt. Dan Choi and Captain Jim Pietrangelo their attorneys must appear in court on April 26.
"This is a very clear message to Pres. Obama and any other leader…we will not go away. We're going to do it again. we will not go away." – Lt Dan Choi
See full story@ pamshouseblend
Abi: If I cut and pasted your letter to send to Obama, he would probaly think I was a f_cking retard.
Well you are RobN so whats the problem!
Your the one who cant distinguish the difference between sexuality and gender!
Choi told supporters outside the courthouse following the arraignment:
"There was no freer moment than being in that prison,"
"It was freeing for me. I thought of all the other people that were still trapped, that were still handcuffed and fettered in their hearts," Choi said of those restrained under the DADT policy that demands gay service members hide their sexual orientation.
Speaking to Metro Weekly, Pietrangelo said he's been advocating for action against DADT for several years.
"I've been pushing for moving on from the talking phase to the action phase for a long time, and I personally feel that we're not going to get equality unless we do it with the protests, civil disobedience and marches. This was just one way for me to put that into practice."
The world needs more Dan Choi's. From what I have seen and heard of him he's a man of intergity and honour. he's got the courage of his convictions and enough intellignece to realise that change won't come by sitting back and waiting for it. Like Martin Luther King he knows that peaceful protest in the heart of the establishment is where you make change happen. He chained himself to the railings of his Commander in Chief's home because he knew that this would force discussion on the DADT policy. That's the same reason he's choosing to go to trial – he'll get more coverage and debate than anything else he could have done.
Oh and he's hot. Proper hot. If he wants to be the poster boy for DADT I say bring it Dan!

Genius Energy Mouse with Smartphone Charging Review
Genius packs the Energy mouse in a clear plastic box with a cardboard insert. This allows visibility of the mouse to the right and still leaves Genius room to display the features. Under the image of the mouse charging a phone, there are icons covering its smartphone charging, the rechargeable LiPo battery, reserve power for the mouse, its 2.4GHz communication, the 1200DPI max of the sensor, that is has rubber grips, and that it is Windows 8 compatible.
This side of the packaging is left mostly open to allow a view of the side of the mouse. At the bottom there is the name of the mouse and a statement that it is a wireless mouse that powers up smartphones, and is then finished off with a QR code and the Facebook name to follow for Genius products.
Under the naming at the top, the power bank power level indicator is shown and displays how it uses four LEDs to show what the battery has left. It then goes on to show three smaller images and one larger image to show the features of the Energy. The bottom then covers four more specs in twenty-six languages.
The last panel offers images of situations in which the battery bank would come in useful. At the bottom Genius places the specs chart, features chart, as well as the package contents.
Inside of the box is a plastic tray. This tray is form fitted to the mouse to keep it snugly in place while sitting on the shelf or during transit. The wireless dongle, cable, and paperwork are all separated in individual compartments at the bottom of the tray.

Air gap interconnect structures and methods for forming the same
Image Number 11 for
United States Patent #8120179
A metal interconnect structure includes at least a pair of metal lines, a cavity therebetween, and a dielectric metal-diffusion barrier layer located on at least one portion of walls of the cavity. After formation of a cavity between the pair of metal lines, the dielectric metal-diffusion barrier layer is formed on the exposed surfaces of the cavity. A dielectric material layer is formed above the pair of metal lines to encapsulate the cavity. The dielectric metal-diffusion barrier layer prevents diffusion of metal and impurities from one metal line to another metal line and vice versa, thereby preventing electrical shorts between the pair of metal lines.

Transporting your cargo by freight has proven to be the cheapest and most popular way of transport. There is a method/formula that is used to classify shipments. There are many different types of shipments that are classified in Freight class. In order for a transport company to transport your cargo, they first classify your cargo and then give you the price they are going to charge you in order to transport the cargo and this process is known as classification of freight. Shipping can be very costly if you or your company do not understand how freight shipping is calculated. Freight carriers have been given the freedom to develop their own shipping rates which are based on the classification methods of their choosing or use the ones that are already in place or even negotiate the rates with the customers. Many freight transport companies use the classification system that the National Motor Freight Transport Association (NMFTA) uses which were put in place by The Commodity Classification Standards Board (CCSB) to calculate the price they will charge a customer who wants to use their transport services.
Carriers are not required by law to use the rates put in place by this board to classify freight but most of them do because it is very hard for an individual company to develop a good freight classification system that will be accepted by people so that it can be used and so they opt to use the ones that have been put in place by The Commodity Classification Standards Board to classify the freight they are required to transport. It is good to know how to know how the classification of freight is done so that you know how to charge the customers who need your transport services or even help you know the fair rates that you should pay if you are in need of freight transport services. The members of The National Motor Freight Transportation Association (NMFTA) consists of the main stake holders in the transportation business and freight carriers who operate in interstate and foreign commerce. If you receive a freight quote and realize that that freight company has used the classification standards set by the CCSB to determine your freight costs, you can log on to the CCSB website to find out more on how your shipping quote was reached.
All of the business men and women who are involved in the freight business should carry out a research so that they can find out that the NMFTA and also the CCSB have not proposed or suggested any shipping rates for any shipment. All the companies that use the rates that they have put in place are doing so willingly and there has never been a directive that they should use those shipping rates as the official rates that the government recognizes. Before agreeing on shipping costs with a freight company, it is wise to carry out your own research on the the rates so that you get a good deal.

This review is from: A Hat Full of Sky: (Discworld Novel 32) (Discworld Novels) (Hardcover)
The third of Terry Pratchett's Discworld stories to be aimed at a younger audience (the other's were The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents, and The Wee Free Men), A Hat Full of Sky proves to be an absolute delight to read. What's even better is that as a 21 year old fan of the Discworld novels I probably got more enjoyment from reading this than a kid would.
All the ingredients are here for a great Discworld story, but in a condensed, simpler form. Following on from The Wee Free Men, this book again stars eleven year old witch-in-training Tiffany Aching and the band of faires that help her, the Nac Mac Feegle. Mind you, these aren't you're ordinary faries. These are like a band of smurf-like Bravehearts, complete with thick scottish accents (which are a delight to read out loud) and a desire to fight everything that moves and a lot of stuff that doesn't.
Tiffany, moving away from the place where she lived, goes to learn from Miss Level, a witch with a very perculiar ability, even for a witch. But, something is moving with her, following her. An evil force intent on taking control of her body. And the Nac Mac Feegle, who fear nothing, are afraid of it. Probably because it hasn't got anything that they can deliver a good kicking to. The story moves along nicely, and is full of great touches. And, as a fan of the series, it was great to see Granny Weatherwax is still going strong, and taking a shining to young Tiffany - who could very possibly become a greater witch than even the legendary Granny Weatherwax.
I would strongly recommend this to any reader, young or old, who understands the value of a good story.
