International Human Rightsstudies the ways in which states and other international actors have addressed human rights since the end of World War II. This unique textbook features substantial attention to the domestic politics of human rights, as well as an extensive emphasis on theory. The fourth edition is substantially rewritten and reorganized to enhance usability, and new material is added to bring the text up to date. Most notably, the sections covering multilateral, bilateral, and transnational action have been broken into seven short chapters, which encourage comparisons within and across types of action and historical cases. New case studies provide context and points of comparison, including a new examination of the contemporary international reactions to human rights violations in China now that the country has become a great power. Additionally, nine "Problems" have been added to the text, which along with the chapter-ending discussion questions, frame alternative interpretations, highlight controversies, and ultimately aim to provoke further thought and discussion amongst readers. International Human Rights,Fourth Edition, is the most current and comprehensive text available that will allow readers to understand how and why human rights are violated, what international action can do to address these violations, and why human rights remain such a small part of international relations.

Valentine's Day is a time to celebrate love; it's also a time to see red heart decorations everywhere! Red hearts, Cupid decorations, and heart-shaped-boxes have become staples of the most romantic holiday on the calendar. Valentine's Day is a time of year to see lots of cute decorations and many of these decorations can be made easily and inexpensively. For children, making such crafts is a great way to familiarize themselves with both art and their own imaginations and this is especially important for homeschooled children. Making art fun and interesting is key to getting kids interested in crafting and the wearable "string hearts" project is sure to get kid's attention!
• A plastic candy tray (the kind used for chocolate molds) in the shape of hearts.
• Liquid starch
• Embroidery floss (preferably red or pink)
• A bowl
• Clear glue (not hot glue or glue sticks)
• Twine
1. Put some liquid starch in a bowl and soak the embroidery floss in it. Note that the embroidery floss must be carefully unstrung before being placed in the bowl of starch or else it will tangle and be difficult to work with later.
2. Carefully take the soaking string out of the bowl and place it in one of the heart molds. Try and stick the string to the bottom of the mold so that it adheres a bit to the plastic. Also try to remove some of the liquid starch as you take the string out of the bowl so there is not a huge pool of liquid in the mold.
3. Let the strings dry in the heart molds for a few hours.
4. When they are dry, pop the string hearts out of the candy molds.
5. Take the clear-dry glue and put it on the edges on each heart.
6. Attach one heart to another so the two half hearts become one full heart.
7. Let dry.
8. When dry, cut a piece of twine and put it through the sides of the heart.
9. Hang up the string heart or wear it as a necklace!

Looking at another colossus, Tata Tea's strategy to buy Tetley attracts attention for the several hundred million dollar purchase price, the wealthiest such marriage in tea history. However, any big long-term profit will be based on as-yet-unproven synergies. Tetley, based in the U.K., combines very high brand recognition with reportedly serious middle-management dissatisfaction, on both sides of the Atlantic. Tata Tea has the reverse situation, with dedicated, professional middle-managers combined with only minimal global consumer brand recognition. Tata's deep pockets and solid management can attain synergy with Tetley's strength in branding, packaging, and bagging. The buyout will incur added debt, forcing harsh cost-effective decisions, and Tata will likely jettison a big chunk of Tetley's problematic middle echelon.
Synergy is far more complex than merely streamlining subsidiary operations for greater efficiency and economies-of-scale. To attain synergy, the combination of subsidiaries must create a whole company greater than the sum of its parts. Williamson Magor previously merged subsidiaries Namdang Tea Co. and Makum Tea Co., as per the Group's strategic plan. One remaining subsidiary, Bishnauth Tea Co. Ltd, produces about 18 million kilograms of tea. Currently, WM is divesting engineering subsidiaries and focusing on branded consumer products, like tea and batteries. WM's planning also encompasses their powerhouse subsidiary Mcleod Russel Tea Division, which markets brands Tez and Premium Gold.
Distinctly regional types of tea corporate structure exist, most notably the family-based dynastic system common in Asia. This old-style corporate structure is evolving suitable flexibility to embrace required technological change and the new demands of export globalization. WM Group, controlling Eveready, Bishnauth, George Williamson & Co. (UK), George Williamson Kenya, and Mcleod Russel, is jointly owned by the Khaitan family and the Magor family in the U.K. The personnel involved in top management and based in India are: B.M. Khaitan, D. Khaitan, A. Khaitan, and P.K. Khaitan, with Philip Magor who is the managing director of the George Williamson & Co. Limited in the U.K. This is an excellent example of synergy, their Eveready (India) Ltd owns 500 vans that transport batteries to many thousands of venues, and these vans distribute Mcleod Russel tea along with the millions of batteries.
R.S. Jhawar, an Eveready director whose authority extends over Mcleod Russel, allocates much of his time to linking corporate, governmental, and trade association sectors. Some governmental agencies and trade associations are gaining strength, whether because of new laws, like those allowing tea futures markets, or because of new consumer demand, like organic. Many organizations are regional, like SAARC, coaxing more leaders from neighboring nations into regular personal meetings.
International meetings of tea leaders are an increasingly large business. Private companies that specialize in these power-elite pow-wows are now important suppliers to the tea trade. The progress of K W Conferences Pvt Ltd shows the significance of formal meetings and conventions for tea trade leaders' personal networking. KW is the company managing this spring's top forum for the global tea business: the unique, influential International Millennium Tea Convention, in Delhi, March 22-24, where the new era will be strategized during chin-wags, chow-downs and schmooze-fests.
Globalization really is a new era, one that challenges regional identities like "South Asia," "East Africa" or "European Union." The primary bureaucratic manifestation of globalization is the World Trade Organization. The tea trade's official associations, whether governmental or independent, pay less attention to the United Nations (UN) - the archetypal international bureaucracy - and more attention to the WTO. The only nation fully divergent from this trend is Iraq. Iraq's exception proves the rule, because they lost sovereign trading power after their invasion of Kuwait triggered defeat in the Persian Gulf War. Iraq buys tea under the constraints of a UN sanctions program.
Tea executives confidentially profess confusion about the WTO's increasing role in their business. Tea earns "hard" currency for producing nations' treasuries only in international trade. The WTO possesses jurisdiction over tea as an export commodity, ultimately having authority as a dispute mediator. Trade tariffs for tea are allowed, but subject to WTO regulation. The WTO is itself a successor regulatory bureaucracy, risen from the ashes of GATT (General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade). One tea trend currently confounding trade regulatory organizations is re-export (and even re-re-export), usually as blended tea. Most confounding is the reported rise in mass shipments of smuggled tea, such as large tonnage boatloads from China into India, or between India and Sri Lanka.
Re-export, legal or illegal, is growing within individual tea regions. The re-export issue is trickiest today between Sri Lanka and India. These neighboring nations both belong to SAARC. Ceylon tea is almost entirely oriented to export markets, a necessary situation in a very low-population nation. Plus, the Sri Lankan government badly needs "foreign" currency earned from export, to pay for a budget-busting war against heavily armed, expansively entrenched, separatist extremists. Top Ceylon executives plan to blend their tea with Indian, then re-export to major world markets, including back into India's huge tea-consuming domestic market. A final quirk involves a third SAARC member, Nepal, now planning to expand branded tea re-exports out of Calcutta; Nepal uses Calcutta as a hub for shipping unblended Nepali to the affluent Western markets, filling a niche for "exotic" origin tea.
Tea c.e.o.'s - often at variance with their own nationalistic political officials - know the re-export trend will continue. Top multi-national executives are working to promote the regulatory and enforcement environment best suited for their companies. M. H. Ashraff, executive director of Tata Tea, takes the moderate position between complete free trade and high trade barriers, recognizing the trend toward more Ceylon-Indian legitimate trade. Ashraff chairs the powerful, media-savvy United Planters Association of Southern India (UPASI). Skillfully, Ashraff checks trade arrangements for WTO regulatory compatibility before providing his support.
At the time of this writing, the WTO is pressuring the European Union (EU) - which covers a prime region for tea consumption, especially value-added - to kill tea tariff "preference" to Kenya. The EU's tariff preference to Kenyan tea bestows major price advantage to that nation. Kenya is no match for the WTO, and lacks the power to maintain this EU tea trade preference if WTO objections persist.
The intertwining of regional and global sectors places more work on the desks of tea trade associations, especially when these organizations are governmentally affiliated or are covering new markets, like the Indian Bio Organic Tea Association. Individual tea companies are rarely large enough to afford veteran international trade experts on staff. The role of representing tea executives falls, by default, to their national, regional, or global trade associations. Tea c.e.o.'s need this new-generation international trade advice.
Trends molding the world tea industry range from re-export to futures markets. One young organization, the WTO, possesses power reaching into every tea region. New technology and market mechanisms are irreversible factors, boosting profit while burdening tea executives with an added layer of complexity. Keeping informed, networked, and energized is all part of the job.

The EOBR Plan
The EOBR plan is ideal for the operation seeking to move to electronic driver logs, and to simplify and automate compliance.
With the EOBR plan and the TND™ 760, you'll gain access to a paperless, electronic Hours of Service (HOS) application as well as electronic Vehicle Inspection Reports (VIR). Compliant with 49 CFR parts 395.15, 396.11, and 396.13, the plan provides access to the Rand McNally Connect web portal for downloading and saving reports.
Electronic Hours of Service
- Keeps HOS records and logs time electronically. The TND™ 760 detects when the vehicle is moving and when it is stopped, logging the time and automatically notating logs as the activity happens.
- Includes driving, on-duty (not driving), off-duty, and sleeper berth duty status options. Also supports personal conveyance rules. The device also will prompt the driver when at risk of running out of driving and other times.
- Drivers may make notations on log entries – just like with paper logs – as well as certify hours. On the device, drivers may view eight days of driving history and line graphs, as well as a list of itemized statuses recorded during the day.
- All Hours of Service information gathered is visible on the TND™ 760 device, as well as through the Rand McNally Connect web portal. Through the portal, you can download HOS reports and save them to PDF files that can be printed, emailed, or faxed.
- Log data is stored for the U.S. Department of Transportation's required six months.
- Saves time and money by eliminating paper logs books and the effort to manually record driving, on duty and other times.
- Helps you stay compliant with 49 CFR, part 395.15. Rand McNally will help you remain compliant via ongoing software updates when there is a change in regulation.
- Assists dispatch operations by providing visibility to available driving and on-duty hours.
Vehicle Inspection Reporting
- The TND™ 760 device includes a detailed list of the truck's systems and subsystems for logging minor and major mechanical defects (such as bumper issues, taillight out, turn signal not working, brakes in need of work).
- VIRs occur twice per day: At the start of the day, drivers review the prior VIR and conduct a new VIR; at the end of the day, drivers conduct an independent inspection.
- After an inspection, drivers log "Satisfactory" or note if something is wrong. If there are no issues, drivers may certify the report and be on their way. If there are issues, the TND™ 760 will alert the driver until the problem is resolved. Drivers also will be alerted if they haven't filled out the Vehicle Inspection Report (VIR).
- All of the information gathered is sent to the Rand McNally Connect web portal. Through the portal you can view PDF reports of the day's VIR, record repairs, and view information. Twelve months of reports are stored in the portal.
- Enables you to be paper free by recording the VIR electronically; no need for another logbook.
- Helps you stay compliant with 49 CFR, parts 396.11 and 396.13 regulations.
- Gives managers a heads up on maintenance issues so they can be fixed before they get too costly; improves safety by helping ensue reports are filled out and drivers are on top of vehicle maintenance.

Meet the Chair
Meet Clifford Rainey
My education really began at age 19 when I left home in Belfast, Northern Ireland, for Vestmannjar, Iceland, to crew on a trawler fishing the North Atlantic Ocean for cod and herring.
I wanted to fulfill a dream of studying art and I needed money to do it. It was the year the Beatles released Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, as well as when I was accepted into the foundation department of Hornsey College of Art in London.
Looking back, my fondest memories are from those formative art school years. I still remember the challenging class projects, the cultural diversity of my fellow students, the inspiring tutors, the field trips to draw at the British Museum; the exposure to art history, philosophy, sociology, great literature, ballet, music, film, and the passionate debates with my young contemporaries over diverse matters, including how best to change the world.
I distinctly remember the amazing feeling of my brain getting bigger. At first I studied drawing, painting, and printmaking, yet I was most passionate about sculpture, as my favorite artists were Constantin Brancusi and Henry Moore. It was a time of experimentation and it was then, through the process of casting various substances, I discovered the magic of glass.
I fulfilled my dream and graduated from London's Royal College of Art in 1973, the same year Picasso died.
Today my life experiences and those as a practicing artist inform how I teach and develop the curriculum for CCA's Glass Program. I have lived an interesting and rewarding life as an artist and citizen of the world and believe in passing on knowledge to those who seek it.
My personal working methodology involves developing an idea or concept, followed by intense research, preparatory drawing, planning, and finally, execution. Thinking through making is an important and integral element of my process; I always allow an idea to develop and change, keeping the resulting form alive and vibrant.
After many years I have acquired the skill and dexterity to craft my ideas with expertise. This expertise gives me the freedom to realize works I've created with my own hands and layered with content. My art gives visual form to meaning. I endeavor to infuse this simple practice into course projects.
History & Tradition
Founded in 1967 by Marvin Lipofsky, the studio Glass Program at California College of Arts and Crafts was one of the first in the United States. Forty years later, professors and graduates from CCA's Glass Program continue to make the Bay Area a national center for the studio glass arts.
The Glass Program has an unparalleled reputation as a rigorous environment in which to study glass in a fine art context. Thanks to our ambitious, accomplished students and alumni, we are listed annually among the top college-level glass programs in the nation. Craft and art are two fields that have much in common.
In an era when fine art schools embrace conceptual, multimedia courses that allow artists to freely migrate from one material to another, CCA's program strives to balance these diverse fields into a vibrant visual discussion.
The Glass curriculum challenges students to put knowledge of craft to the service of art and engages an ongoing discourse about art and its relationship to the contemporary world. Our program encourages multimedia, interdisciplinary practice. The curriculum embraces intense research, theoretical thinking, studio practice, and technical competency. Individual projects are designed to cultivate habits of mind as well as craft.
For the majority of artists, drawing is an integral element in art making. It is the instant mark from mind to hand. It is the visual creation of an idea, the beginning of what is to come. Drawing allows one to think and develop an idea visually. All glass courses rely on some form of 'drawing' to communicate their ideas to class during the critique process to spark discussion and critical dialogue.
The study of glass can be a difficult decision for a prospective student of art as it can take many years to develop the dexterity and intimacy to realize ones ideas in this fragile transparent material. Art students who embrace glass as a material for art making are the custodians of a rich history and tradition.
Our curriculum honors the traditions of the past while at the same time championing contemporary conceptual questioning. Our students strive to be at the cutting edge of contemporary art practice in an area where practice and theory take equal precedence.
We ask our students to be scholarly, open to learning, to question, to gain knowledge through research. I personally believe our students should be well read, informed, have experienced opinions on diverse subject matter and be able to debate these experiences and opinions in class. They should have a spirit of inquiry, be ethical, self–motivated, and committed.
We encourage them to be engaged citizens, to be politically and socially involved with their communities, their ecological planet, and their world's rich multiculturalism. It is hugely advantageous to be talented.
For the maker, virtuosity can be seductive but is not enough for the student of glass to become a skilled craftsperson. We assist our students to develop an intelligent voice that can interlace meaning into their work by promoting a forum for debate. They should expect their teachers to agitate and unbalance their comfort zone to stimulate new paradigms of thought and imagination.
As artists, they have a responsibility to search out conflicting opinions and be able to analyze the differences then fold any discoveries into their working vocabulary.
Each member of our diverse faculty is a practicing artist who dedicates time to teach. All exhibit nationally; many are renowned internationally and have their work in the collections of major museums. All faculty believe that teaching matters and are passionate about glass as a material for art making.
Today we are blessed with a long history of art and philosophy. But this can be a burdensome weight to the young, inquisitive mind.
The skilled tutor must have the ability to bring to life any supporting subject matter that will enhance the visual creative experience.
Glass faculty members are charged with creating a positive working environment to allow concentration and understanding. Our faculty teaches by example. We endeavor to be approachable, encouraging, inspiring, helpful, and attentive in class.
Our visiting artist program generates opportunities for feedback from a wide degree of differing opinions, skills, and techniques.
Graduation & Beyond
CCA's Glass Program intends for its students to graduate with an entrepreneurial spirit and the cognitive and motor skills to enable them to make the transition from college to a professional working environment and beyond.
Our graduates are accomplished in their field, adept at manifesting their ideas physically, knowledgeable about historic and contemporary art issues, and are catalyzed toward social change.
During their tenure at CCA students acquire a broad base of technical skills and can articulate and communicate their ideas verbally and in writing. They gain the capacity to self-critique and evaluate their artwork.
Each has fashioned an individual voice and the potential and self-confidence to succeed.
Most importantly, students learn how to reason and question their way through college. Art school, like life, is a journey of self-discovery, with a humble beginning and an enriched end.

On Wednesday, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) cracked down on Apple in a decision that will make it pay at least $32.5 million in refunds to customers.
The problem arose three years ago after parents were surprised to have racked up hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars worth of in-app purchases from their iOS devices. Turns out, Apple had allowed unlimited purchases for a 15-minute time period after the app had been downloaded. This led to kids buying enormous amounts of virtual money in various games without their parents' consent.
The FTC ruled that Apple had deceived customers by not notifying them of this feature. Usually, in-app purchases require a password to safeguard against the issue of unauthorized purchases, but this 15-minute period allowed crafty (or innocent) kids to shop virtually to their heart's content.
At a news conference in Washington, FTC Chairwoman Edith Ramirez said:
A basic principle of consumer protection is that a company must obtain a consumer's informed consent before charging them for any goods and services. Apple fell short on that principle.
The company added:
Apple is proud to have set the gold standard for online stores by making the App Store a safe place for customers of all ages. Today's agreement with the FTC extends our existing refund program for in-app purchases which may have been made without a parent's permission.
Apple had already been confronted with this issue previously, and in March 2011, they got rid of the 15-minute period for unlimited purchases. However, today the FTC took the ruling to the next level by forcing Apple to fully refund all unauthorized payments to customers. If you are part of the group of people whose children made these unauthorized purchases, you just need to notify Apple and they will refund all of the charges, without a cap. According to the company, they have sent over 23 million notifications to customers who may have been affected and have received 37,000 claims for full refund.
According to the FDC, the total amount of the unauthorized charges totals at least $32.5 million, if not more, and if the company's payments don't reach $32.5 million, the FDC will collect the difference.

I am forced to say that I think Shakakaka is out of business. Im mainly a linux guy, and also a poor poor college student, and I got a super steal on my vps right now (im paying about $10 a month for a vps with 2gb dedi 50gb storage and 2tb a month bandwith). Ive priced out windows VPS's that would run the server, and they are all far out of my price range alone. Im not going to ask anyone for donations because I dont want that pressure. There are a lot of server options, and being the guy using the linux server for a XNA game is not the horse that you bet on. That being said, I want to thank all of you for being along for the short and jumpy ride of my server. A special shout out to LastProtagonist and Beze9000 for making the place fun and friendly all the time. I really have enjoyed hosting you all and making new friends. I plan on keeping the server and not putting in for cancellation till the billing period ends in hopes that someone will update their code and I can run a linux terraria server again. But if not, know that I have enjoyed every moment of it with yall, and you likely wont see me around, because im retiring if the server goes, im the kinda captain who goes down with his ship.

Utah Jazz get going too late in road loss to Pacers
Associated Press
INDIANAPOLIS — The Utah Jazz didn't win Tuesday night, falling 104-99 to the Indiana Pacers for their second road loss in as many nights.
But they showed a few things in this one at Bankers Life Fieldhouse that they didn't in Monday's embarrassing 99-88 setback to the no-name Knicks.
Fire. Life. Desire.
At least in the second half, when they turned a 21-point deficit into a brief three-point lead.
"We just started getting into the game, if you will," Jazz guard Raja Bell said. "It felt like we were kind of sleepwalking through the first half and the first segment of the third quarter. Once we got moving, we played pretty well."
With 8:04 remaining in the third, the Jazz found themselves trailing by 21 points, 71-50, after a Danny Granger basket.
"We didn't like our effort until the third quarter," Jazz coach Tyrone Corbin said. "If we would have done what we did three to four minutes into that third quarter for the rest of the game, then we could play with anybody. On the road, you can't afford to dig a hole like we did."
Up to that point, there were approximately two positives for this 13-11 team that has now lost four of five games.
For one, Gordon Hayward, who won a state title with nearby Brownsburg High School on this same court in 2008, was playing well for the hometown crowd, which included quite a few in No. 20 Jazz jerseys.
The second was a stretch, but at least Utah was getting thumped by players whose names are recognizable — unlike in New York (flashback: Jeremy Lin and Steve Novak).
But just like that, things changed — almost with the flick of Bell's wrist on a 3-pointer.
Utah got its shovels out and start digging its way out of the hole, pulling within seven by the end of the third and taking momentum into the fourth.
"We just started playing," Jazz power forward Paul Millsap said. "In the first half, we didn't have very good energy. We just weren't in sync in the first half, and against a good team like the Pacers you can't do that."
Didn't work so well against a bad Knicks team, either.
The Jazz credited their defensive effort for helping them eventually take the lead — completing a 22-point turnaround — on two Josh Howard free throws with just under eight minutes remaining.
Indiana and Utah traded leads for a while. But the Pacers took control down the stretch when a Paul George 3-pointer and a Roy Hibbert putback contrasted against an Al Jefferson travel, five Big Al missed shots in the final 2:42 and a costly 24-second shot-clock violation as Millsap stumbled.
"Shots I make all the time," said the 6-foot-10 Jefferson, matched against 7-2 Hibbert. "But they just didn't fall for me."
Jefferson thought the Jazz's 17 turnovers, leading to 15 Pacers' points, was a game-changing stat. Indiana only turned the ball over eight times.
"We're not good enough to turn off and on like that," Jefferson added. "I think the effort was there more tonight than last night. We made too many mistakes as far as turning over the ball."
Granger hit a jumper with 25.7 seconds remaining to put the Pacers up by five. Jazz point guard Devin Harris responded quickly, trimming the lead to three.
Then Granger, who finished with 16 points, drained clutch free throws.
That left the Jazz grasping to take some momentum back to Utah, where they have two days off before an important and rare home game against the NBA's best team, Oklahoma City.

Ladies, Let's LIFT!
Wednesday, January 20, 2010
Resistance training can be an intimidating subject for many women. There is a lot of misinformation floating around when it comes to weight training, but it is an essential part of leading a healthy and fit lifestyle. Let�s take a look at some of the most common misconceptions.
�Lifting weights will make me look big and bulky.� When many people think about women and weight training they often envision a woman tan, lean and bulging with muscles. Body-building is a sport of discipline and dedication. The female bodybuilder has to work twice as hard monitoring her nutrition, cardio and weight-training. Women just do not produce the levels of testosterone necessary to create massive bulky muscles. Many female bodybuilders take numerous supplements, some even take anabolic steroids to create the large muscles needed to compete. The point is there is no need to worry about turning into a muscle bound gorilla-woman.
Another whopper I�ve heard is the myth that when you stop working out all the muscle you have gained will just turn into fat. Totally false. Muscle and fat are two separate cells. Now it is true that when you stop working out the lean muscle you worked so hard for can atrophy. Muscle actually burns calories even when your body is at rest. Losing muscle negatively effects your metabolism making it easier to put on fat. However no form of physiological alchemy can turn muscle into fat.
Using resistance to try to "spot reduce� fat from a particular area of the body is probably the most common misconception. You may have tried to whittle away the fat around your middle by doing countless squats or racked up the reps of triceps extensions to get control of a �wing-flap� problem. When you are working out with weights you are toning the muscle underneath the fat. All those crunches may have given you a killer six-pack but until you blast the fat that is hiding it you will never see it.
The myths making the case for women to avoid weight training is omnipresent. The unique benefits that weight-training offers women aren�t as well known. Resistance training can do just as much to reversing osteoporosis and osteopenia as calcium supplements. With proper training and guidance weight training is enabling women to safely build stronger bones. Using weights in functional movement improves your balance and coordination thus reducing the risk of injury. Another benefit mentioned earlier is the fat melting effect that lean muscle has on the metabolism. Muscle gained by weight training boosts your resting metabolic rate allowing you not only to burn fat but keep it off as well. Lean muscle is the foundation of your metabolism.
Weight training is an important component in every woman�s fitness. If you are new to using resistance make sure you seek assistance from a qualified fitness professional. When performed in a safe and effective manner resistance training can take your fitness level to entirely new heights. So ladies, lets get out there and pump some iron!

Thanks for the information! These are things that I know, but still need reinforced in my mind. Crazily still worry about "bulking" up even when I know that is silly! I've been doing strength training now for the last two months. Usually try and do my weights on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Really feels good when I finish!!
This week has been kind of crazy with some family things and have been unable to get my Wed. course in and I feel like a slug. Can't wait to get into the gym tomorrow to pump some iron!!

They say super-stilettos can ruin ladies' feet, but now experts are warning that flat shoes can be just as dangerous.
In fact, docs are urging people to walk in sexy heels to keep their feet healthy.
In fact, docs are urging people to walk in sexy heels to keep their feet healthy.
The claims are being substantiated by the finding that foot injuries are on a rise, courtesy ballet pumps and flip-flops, reports The Sun.
Although comfortable, flat shoes can cause severe foot pain, bunions, shooting pains in the shins, back aches and even arthritis.
Mike O'Neill, consultant podiatric surgeon and spokesman for the Society of Chiropodists and Podiatrists, said: "Over the last three to four years we've had a significant increase in the number of problems caused be wearing flat shoes such as ballet pumps or flip flops. I've seen three or four just in the last week."
If this is not enough for you, then here's another reason why you should ditch those frumpy flats - heels boost sex life.
Surprisingly, Italian researchers have found women who wear a heel of one to two inches may have more fun between the sheets.
The body posture adopted while wearing heels improves the pelvic floor muscles, which help to create a mind-blowing climax.
O'Neill explains: "Very flat shoes worn for long periods of time can cause problems, and very high heels worn for long periods of time can also cause problems. The feet aren't designed to work in either. The ideal heel size is round an inch."
However, the expert adds: "Flats are fine to wear for a couple of days a week but the problem arises when people wear them for six months at a time."

To FDRfan:
I recall Jeff Chatman coming to BYU from Talladega, Alabama in 1984 or 85. According to a Cougar Club website:
"Led his Munford High team to the county and area championship twice ... selected All-County three times and All-State twice ... chosen MVP in the Alabama All-Star basketball game ... placed second in the slam dunk contest ... all-time career scoring and rebounding leader an Munford ... discovered by BYU while the Cougars were at the 1984 NCAA tournament ... had 16 points, seven rebounds and 11 blocked shots at prep all-star game and was named games MVP ... coached by Leon Stephens (Jacksonville St.)."

No idea about how NC, Kansas, Texas or OSU feel about it but even mentionaing the pathetic utah program with those excellent ones is LOL hilarious.
And yes utah is greatly disappointed. They recruited him, they wanted him, they badly needed him, and they were rejected by him.
I personally have no idea if he will be a good player, I've never seen him play, but it is pretty safe to say he is better than anything the utes are likely to get seeing as though they routinely get rejected by almost every single player they go head to head with BYU over. Yes I know they got one, but of course BYU got 3, and that is just this year.
It is no doubt very hard for you to swallow but it is what it is. Learn to live with it without the bitterness.

Thank you. The article I read was written by a Birmingham paper and was complimentary to Chatman and BYU but was wondering if a rural black kid from Alabama could adjust to a white western school. I did not know that Chatman became a Mormon convert. There are a lot of good black kids, including quality athletes, from the rural south who would love BYU if they only knew about it. Also white kids. BYU needs to stay independent for this reason.

Great pick up by the cougs, congrats to Jordan.
In response to the question does the cougs have any 3 pt shooter in this group, I'm pretty sure the Emery kid is a standout 3 pt shooter.
As far a bigs go, we have 2 young kids just returning from their missions this yr and one that is just leaving.

I think you will find a couple of first year recruits are lights out shooters,
Harrison and Carlino. I notice #44 on Jordans jersey in highlight real, I
suspect it's the Ainge influence.
I think Jeff Chatman, Danny Ainge and Kresimer Cosic are my favorite all time BYU basketball players. (I've been following them since the 60's) OOPS better add the Jimmer.

George W. Bush and the Poet
Published: June 1, 2003
(Page 2 of 2)
Mr. Gioia, 52, is in almost every way a contradiction. He's a working-class kid of Italian-Mexican heritage from Los Angeles who ended up spending 15 years as a business executive (at General Foods) while building a career as a widely published poet and essayist. He has studied with Elizabeth Bishop and Robert Fitzgerald and marketed Jell-O. He's a Republican who voted for Mr. Bush but says ''the only people I've ever contributed money to are Green candidates.'' As a critic, he's a fierce defender of what he considers traditionalist literary standards and yet takes pains to distinguish himself from the neo-con snobs who regularly deplore pop culture. He sounds nearly as engaged by Run-DMC rap lyrics as he is by Auden -- and he can get as passionate about ''Magnolia'' as he is about ''Les Troyens.''
Nor does Mr. Gioia subscribe to the ugly culture wars that the likes of Lynne Cheney and William Bennett embraced during the Gingrich revolution. Many of those battles were in one way or another about N.E.A. grants to artistic projects with sexual content, especially homosexual content. Mr. Gioia will have none of it. ''If the F.B.I. investigation of me proved anything,'' he says, ''it's that about half of my friends and in some cases my collaborators are gay -- like Alva Henderson, the guy I wrote an opera with. How can you accomplish anything in the American arts if you're homophobic? It just can't be done. Someone doesn't want to do a play because it's gay? Well, grow up. This is America. It's just as simple as that. We're supporting arts for all Americans.''
He does reserve one cheer for the cultural marketplace -- he's not a Republican for nothing. ''If you create a system where the marketplace doesn't operate in the arts,'' he says, ''it breeds a kind of institutional stagnation, which you see in a lot of European countries.'' But he knows the perils: ''If you put the marketplace entirely in charge of the arts, you see them very endangered'' -- as they are now. Like virtually all of his predecessors, Mr. Gioia's antidote is to increase the N.E.A. budget and expand arts education. But at a time when arts programs of all kinds, in and out of schools, are falling prey to the worst fiscal crunch in the states since World War II, the endowment would not make a difference even at three times its minuscule current appropriation ($117 million). Add the catastrophic money woes at American cultural institutions to the growing grip of the media giants that are sucking up the air in their stead, and you've got a crisis.
What can Dana Gioia do about it? He could shake Washington -- and the Bush administration -- with the same asset that has made him successful as a writer, the power of his ideas. A legendarily contentious essay he wrote for The Atlantic in 1991, ''Can Poetry Matter?,'' started a debate over the merits of the academic poetry establishment that raged for years. While he sees clearly the cultural lay of the land, including what he called the ''heartbreaking'' destruction in Iraq, his duty must be to convey the urgency of his vision to a larger audience, within and beyond the White House. Can he? The knee-jerk answer, of course, is no. He would appear to be as doomed as another green administration appointee, the soon-to-depart Christie Whitman, who, in the words of The Washington Post, seems to have been put in charge of the Environmental Protection Agency ''merely to make the Bush administration seem more interested in the environment . . . than it was.''
Yet there's a crucial difference between Mr. Gioia and Ms. Whitman. While a commanding and popular public speaker, Mr. Gioia has never been a politician and has no interest in becoming one. He is confident and in no way a waffler. He has a proud, hard-won reputation as an independent thinker and artist to protect for his eventual return to the literary life.
He is too smart not to realize that for all the efforts of the current first lady, a former librarian, to promote reading, libraries are closing, not expanding, on this administration's watch. He is too serious to stand idly by while Rupert Murdoch amasses more power at home and looters subsume the culture of our 51st state, Iraq. ''The measure of a great nation is not merely its wealth and power but also its civilization,'' Mr. Gioia said when testifying before Congress in March. He seems to mean it. The measure of his tenure in Washington will be the extent to which he can counter those administration policies that damage our civilization rather than merely provide them rhetorical cover.

I have a quick question on the excerpt of Theorem 2.40 of Baby Rudin. How would I get "If n is so large that $2^{-n}\delta<r$...."? I think that to get such an 'n' has something to do with exercise on Chapter 1 which is related to logarithm which I have not completed yet. I was trying to rephrase the excerpt as the following lemma: There exists $n$ such that $2^{-n}\delta<r$. Proof:Let $E=\{2^n:n\in \mathbb{N}\}$. Suppose not. Then $2^n \le \frac{\delta}{r}$. Since $E\subset \mathbb{R}$, $E$ is bounded above, therefore $\sup E= \alpha$ exists, i.e. $2^n \le \alpha$ for all $n$. But I could not really proceed to get a contradiction though.

- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
You want to have $2^n>\dfrac{\delta}r$; taking logs, this is equivalent to $n\ln 2>\ln\delta-\ln r$, or $n>\dfrac{\ln\delta-\ln r}{\ln 2}$. The fact that you can always choose such an $n$ comes from the Archimedean property of $\Bbb R$.
To finish the lemma, note that $\alpha=\sup E$ is the least upper bound for $E$, therefore $\alpha/2<\alpha$ is not an upper bound for $E$. Thus there is some $n$ such that $2^n>\alpha/2$, so $2^{n+1}>\alpha$. This contradicts the fact that $\alpha$ is the least upper bound for $E$.

Hi Guys,
When we receive stock in our warehouse we use STO to post stock from SIT to 902 snd send stock to 500 for putaways.
Some end-user reversed the GR and GI from the STO,NOW 902 is sitting with a negative amount,how can i solve this issue?
at first, check open transfer requirements with transaction LB13, "Status of movement" open and partially delivered.
If you don't have open requirements you can create transfer order from storage type with positiv stock to storage type with the negative stock. if there is no positive stock in other storage type, you have to create stock.
To check differences between IM and WM, transaction LX23 could be helpful.
Best Regards, Dirk
Thanks for that, however LX23 is not giving me any information.One of the Consultant moved stock from 902 and created a bin in
999,when we try and send stock back to 902 it show positive quantities.
Due to the deletion of GR's and GI's in there STO'S now we are experiencing a new problem, We cant Post Goods Issue
on shipments ,its giving us a deficit error message.
Please Help
Hi Silas
As suggested by Dirk Freyaldenh...
The normal process flow to correct the stock is mention below
1) Check the stock of Storage type 902 using T-code LX23
2) If Stock exist in the 902 storage type with negative qty
3) create a manual transfer order from the Physical storage type to 902
4) Confirm the transfer order
In ur case , When u r looking at stock using lx23 for storage type 902, There is no stock because consultant already moved the stock from 902 to 999. now if u will move the stock from any other physical or logical location to 902 system will treat this as an inbound and positive qty will appear
Hope this will clear your doubt
Hi Guys,
Will this have an implication when trying to PGI @ outbound?
Many Thanks
This will not impact ur picking program.
The reason you have this problem is as follows
1 You processed the 101 receipt for a STO. The stock was receipted into 902. You then moved some of this stock from 902 to 500 then into the racks.
2 A small balance of the stock remained in 902 which you were asked to clear by reversing it.
3 Instead of reversing just the stock in 902, the full STO was reversed using a 102 movement
This reversal created the negative stock in 902.
You need to reverse the 102 movement which will reverse your negative stock.
If you think about it. in 902 you had say -100 cases, in the racks you have 100 cases. This results in a total stock holding of zero stock. Because your delivery was created before the STO reversal and the TOs afterwards, WM found the stock in the racks and created pick instructions which you executed. When you can to do the post goods issue, SAP issued a error message telling you you had a deficit of stock in IM becuase in IM your stock is zero. Reversing the STO will include the stock in IM and nett off the negative stock and then you will be able to PGI.

Besides its
180 elephant (KwaZulu-Natal's only remaining herd of indigenous
to the province), Tembe has the other members of the big five -
lion, leopard, rhino & buffalo - as well as the range of other
mammal species, supported by its sand forest and grassland
habitat. It has more than 340 bird species, some of which are at
the southern limit of their range.
The Tembe
people are eager to share this treasure with the outside
world... to introduce visitors to real wilderness and explain to
them its mystique, as they inherited the understanding from
their forbearers. They are also eager to share with visitors the
richness of their own culture, show how it effortlessly
interlinks with the wilderness about them ands makes
preservation of that wilderness an imperative. Tembe guides and
camp staff bring to their daily task the charm and gentle humour
of their people, adding an extra dimension and enjoyment to the
experience of eco-tourism.
Elephant Park is an authentic Africa, with its fine weather the
year round and just the right balance between raw nature and
human comfort.
Accommodation is luxury tented pavilions with en suite
bathrooms, each located deep in the bush inside the park and out
of direct contact with others. Meals are taken separately or na
communal dining boma under the stars, to the thrilling night
sounds of the bush. Social gatherings round a campfire are the
after dinner option. The local community provide spectacular
evening displays of traditional dancing.
open vehicle game drives are offered during the day, as well a
at night. Stop-offs at waterholes provide superb viewing and
photographic opportunities from hides. Walks accompanied by a
guide are another popular feature giving the visitor the full
atmosphere of wilderness.
Elephant Park is a different experience, best over a stay of at
least two nights to get the full range of what is on offer. New
tar roads now makes it only a six hour drive from Johannesburg
and four and a half hour trip from Durban. Visitors are picked
up at the park gate in a 4x4 safari vehicle. General public
access is restricted to five vehicles a day.
Elephant Park is a place for purists - who also have an
appreciation of he comforts of life.
Be pampered

(AP Photo/Victoria Will, File) by the associated press June 20, 2014; 3:11 p.m. Comments PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A judge in Pennsylvania has dismissed the last of five sex-abuse lawsuits filed against the Emmy-winning puppeteer who voiced the "Sesame Street" character Elmo. The ruling doesn't weigh the merits of Sheldon Stephens' claims against actor Kevin Clash. It says he filed suit too late. The 25-year-old Stephens has publicly accused Clash of luring him into a sexual relationship when he was underage. U.S. District Judge Christopher Conner says Stephens failed to sue by age 19 under laws in New York, where their meetings took place. The 53-year-old Clash resigned from "Sesame Street" amid the accusations. Defense lawyer Michael Berger says he can now move on with his life. Stephens' lawyer, Jeff Herman, says Thursday's ruling shows that abuse victims in New York need more time to file suit. Get The Advocate in your inbox Subscribe

In my opinion, the Metroid series had an extremely lame birthday. The ONLY thing that Nintendo did was give the 3DS Ambassadors Metroid Fusion to play on the 3DS. And honestly, was Nintendo even intending that for Metroid's birthday, or was it already planned for the ambassadors? Either way, this wasn't fair for Metroid. Especially compared to Mario and Zelda who both had amazing 25th birthdays. Luckily, there are some die-hard Metroid fans over at http://www.shinesparkers.net/ who decided to make an album of remixed Metroid songs from the original, to Other M specially for Metroids 25th anniversary. Ladies and gentlemen, I am proud to present to you Harmony of a Hunter. It contains 2 discs, with 36 tracks overall, created by a community of Metroid fans. Not to mention, the album cover/disc art/etc. is all created by fans as well. Honestly, this is the type of album that makes me ashamed that I'm not a real fan... They really did good, check it out.
Still not sure? Here's a few samples of music that were thrown together. Remember, there are plenty of other great ones to be seen, and if you don't like it, you can always delete it. Afterall, it is free.

Made like the geese and headed South for the day...
...to Trexler Preserve with it's steep climbs, and fast drops and a bit slippy with the over night frost thawing out just in time for our ride! Even saw a bit of ice, making lean angle tough in turns, especially on a long wheelbase 29er, but there is always a way to get it in and out quick(sorry Chuck if I drove ya nuts with all the flip turns...LOL)
Weather was on our side though as sun began to dry the thin slime, so the second loop was in order and of course two times the money down Half Pipe and Dozer trails is bank, but that meant climbing out was again handed to us as we lost lots of elevation in the process. Seems a few others on the trail decided walking up was on the menu for them, but they were out enjoying the super fall day anyway. My mind wandered as I couldn't find a rock to save my life other than small quartz buddies that litter the sides of the trails. Finally got dizzy from all the uphill swithchbacks and decided to head over to...
...South Mountain Preserve for a totally different ride. The home of the Roadale Press aka Bicycling and Mountain Bike magazines mt biking test track trails...LOL Whew that was a lot to say in one sentence. If you are familiar with the magazine "Mountain Bike" these trails might just look familiar to you. Now feeling very much at home among the rocks. It was time for our very own test session!
They have done a lot of work to the entrance trail with old crushed asphalt as the trail base, and new bridges over wet areas too. Nice to see a new kiosk was added with maps and info. The construction continued further up the trail, with new parking and concrete aprons...
...but once you start climbing it's all dirt and slippy green rocks! Good to see logovers aren't removed between steep short climbs with lots of rocks and pic your way through lines still exist. Hoping we wouldn't hear the "zizz" of a slipping rear tire we gently made our way up. Got through most of the Orange trail and ran out of light. Made a beeline back to car thinking and hoping to ride the local rail/trail as a finish. Signs said "No riding after dark" so grabbed food and back to home we headed ending a great day spent in the Lehigh Valley!

With Record Store Day 2014 mere months away (April 19 to be exact), the event has officially named Chuck D as this year's ambassador.
The Public Enemy frontman joins an amazing list of past ambassadors, including Jack White, Iggy Pop, Ozzy Osbourne, Josh Homme (Queens of the Stone Age), and Jesse Hughes (Eagles of Death Metal).
"The introduction of the available recording to the public had opened and webbed the sounds of the world across the planet long before the www. It has been influential to the creators of so many of the greatest recordings as well, sort of a second rite of passage after the live radio or TV performance," said Chuck D in a letter posted to the Record Store Day website.
In the letter he goes on to talk about the record store as "the connection point" between listener and artist, a cultural influence, and a place to gather with fellow music lovers.
Record Store Day was started in 2008 to celebrate independent record stores. According to the Record Store Day about us page, "this is a day for the people who make up the world of the record store—the staff, the customers, and the artists—to come together and celebrate the unique culture of a record store and the special role these independently owned stores play in their communities." For the occasion, artists release exclusive vinyl albums and CDs. Some stores also have special live performances, guaranteeing a full day of music and celebration.
A list of this year's releases has not been announced yet.
"In this age where industry has threaded the music sound with virtual sight and story I am honored to be called upon to be Record Store Day Ambassador of 2014" says Chuck D in the letter. "With the masses, neck bent into their smartphones, let all of us music lovers GPS our way into a reality that is the Record Store. It's worth a great try, let's do this..."
Record Store Day 2014 is April 19. To find out more about Record Store Day, visit the event's website.

Michael- The Long Island Ale House is a fine place. I certainly wouldn't criticize a zebra for its stripes. I should have stated explicitly in the article that there is a craft beer hierarchy within the sports bar category. LIAH would be my choice over Grumpy Jack's (or any of a host of similar places) for game day, hands down.

I'm working on an article about Tap & Barrel where I'll discuss further what a craft beer geek expects out of a craft beer destination. LIAH might not be interested in being a craft beer destination.

You mention DEKS. While DEKS is a craft beer destination, it's not a local craft beer destination. Rarely do Long Island brewed beers make an appearance at DEKS. This might be due to the fact that DEKS has only 15 taps to work with.

So LIAH is actually doing something better than DEKS, which is to provide a good selection of locally brewed beer. That actually is more important to me than seeing the hottest California, Oregon, and Colorado beers.

More on this in my Tap & Barrel article. Cheers!

Donavan,
 Nice write-up on the Long Island Ale House. The Long Island Ale House is a member of the Medford Chamber of Commerce, which I am the president of. Now that that's out of the way...

I was very happy to see a place like this come to Medford, since there are a few on the Island. I had hoped that they would embrace the craft brew and hard to find stuff. 30 taps designated for that is impressive.

They will be hard pressed to shake the sports bar image since they are kinda pigeon-holed with formerly know as the Global Sports Cafe. However, I think that there is defiantly room for improvement and influence tot the type of beer they serve.

I have never eaten off their menu, but the buffet style food I ate there was delicious.

Thanks to them, I have fallen in love with Arrogant Bastard and I fully enjoyed my glass or two of Gulden Draak.

I would love nothing more than to see some craft brew houses on tap and maybe with enough influence from an influential president, we might just see more craft brews.

The LIAH is not DEKS, but one day, maybe, it could be.

Good points all. Yes, I do commend them for providing a nice selection of beers, especially the local beers. I have two recommendations for Long Island Ale House which would go a long way to mitigate my ambivalence: (1) don't bring my Long Island brewed craft beer to my table in a frozen glass, and (2) sell the local angle better.

The frozen glass thing is a peeve of mine. Freezing is the wrong temperature for craft beer and detracts from my enjoyment of the beer.

The second is less serious. But, I'd really get behind a place that said "We're Long Island's Ale House and we serve Long Island brewed beer and if you don't like it, you can go next door." Of course, running a bar is business and not an ideology, so I can understand them wanting to cover all the bases with some questionable tap offerings.

Thanks for the review. Not sure why at the end there you appeared to not like their selection of beers. They do seem to have a good amount of craft beers compared to most sports bars. Even you say that "sports bars with 30+ taps seem to think 28 different brands of American Standard and Light Lager is the epitome of variety". But you tasted a good variety that night, and I see they also have Goose Island and Smuttynose. Granted, they could have more local craft beers (where's Greenport!), and just more in general, but they do have more than most. I would be more than happy getting those choices you listed.

And I thought I was a beer snob. ;-)
