Skip to comments.The White House vs. science
Posted on 11/13/2010 2:14:12 AM PST by Scanian
Congressional Republicans say a whole lot of questions "need to be an swered" about an inspector general's report detailing how the White House altered a scientific paper that it used to justify a controversial drilling moratorium after the BP oil spill last spring.
They're right.
Almost from the moment the report was first made public, most of the scientists involved said it had been deceitfully edited to make it look like they'd endorsed the ban, which Gulf-state elected officials immediately denounced as a job-killer.
Now the Interior Department's inspector general, Mary Kendall, has determined that those allegations are correct -- and that the White House falsely applied a scientific veneer to justify what was clearly a political decision.
Which is precisely what eight of the 15 scientists involved called it when they publicly protested the editing.
"The secretary should be free to recommend whatever he thinks is correct," they said in a fax earlier this year to Louisiana's governor and two US senators. "But he should not be free to use our names to justify his political decisions."
Ironically, of course, it was candidate Barack Obama who accused the Bush administration of twisting scientific evidence; he promised, if elected, to be guided by "science, not ideology."
And it turns out that this is just one of several instances in which the Obama White House has manipulated the word of scientific experts.

Obama's "yellowcake" moment.
Obama is the worst mix between Carter and Nixon.
What's their latest schtick that Rush was talking about? Grayouts?
Nutso. When that is proven ridiculous, they'll just move on to something else. And I'm sure it's eating them alive to know that trading carbon credits isn't going to make them all billionaires.
Citation, please.
They have never stated such. Please point to where the relevant text would include breathing as a case where it is considered polluting.
Micturation is a natural human bodily function, but you wouldn't want it directed at your beer. Context is everything.
The EPA's finding doesn't say carbon dioxide, or CO2, is by itself a pollutant -- it is, after all, a gas that humans exhale and plants inhale. Rather, it is the increasing concentrations of the gas that concern the agency.That law was signed by President Bush, and it has nothing to do with breathing. I've read it multiple times--have you?--Wall Street Journal, "How Carbon Dioxide Became a Pollutant," April 18, 2008.
§7521 is called "Emission standards for new motor vehicles or new motor vehicle engines."
Oh, wait... I guess if your nickname is motor-mouth, you could get confused. ;-)
In summary, let's keep it honest and leave the exaggeration and misrepresentation to the libs, please.
BTW, when the EPA released its SCOTUS-mandated findings, they also included methane. Why did you single out carbon dioxide?
If I breath out carbon dioxide and my car puts out carbon dioxide if I were to compare the molecule from each would there be any difference? The whole notion of Carbon Dioxide as a pollutant is worse than bogus. Carbon dioxide is ESSENTIAL to life. Life craves it. It is less than one part per thousand because plants have become so effective at pulling it out from the air!
Carbon is essential for life. Therefore, carbon soot isn't a pollutant.
Oxygen is essential for life. Therefore, ozone degradation isn't a problem.
Water is essential for life. Therefore, it's harmless if it runs through your house.
I love this game.
I breathe out a gram of CO2 every breath. The point of the comment is that there are many more sources of the evil gas than is accounted for in the EPA's highly idealogical findings. And if you want to go all in with Methane, the Feds funded a study on cow digestion for $700,000. They are getting to that subject if they have the time.
Use your own lying eyes to gauge any destruction of the earth since Paul Erlich predicted our demise in 1974. Myl assertion is that the entire ecological movement is based on lies and adolescent emotionalism. It's never been seriously challenged and tested by any rational metric. Until now.
Well said.
Correct ... the interesting thing is now that its been debunked and the CCX is collapsing ... along with all the other "investors" (Al Gore etc) ... it has slowed to almost a stop. Take the money out and watch it fall apart. It was about greed and money, not saving the planet. Such fools to believe man is powerful enough to alter the climate of a planet ... such arrogance. The "little people" that invested in this deserve the fleecing they are getting.
I have strong doubts that they ever believed they could have any impact on the climate.
From the get-go it was all about GREED, with a "G" as in "Gore."
And the ability to take further control of people's lives, of course.
The lefties invariably overreach, leave evidence of their misdeeds where it can be found, and get caught.
"...that truth is great and will prevail if left to herself, that she is the proper and sufficient antagonist to error, and has nothing to fear from the conflict, unless by human interposition disarmed of her natural weapons, free argument and debate, errors ceasing to be dangerous when it is permitted freely to contradict them. "
There are many connections between the Green movement and Communist forces: this outlines these connections, examining changing American values, Green influences, and Communist party lines with an eye to revealing possible Communist connections within the Green party realm. A thought-provoking book. -- Midwest Book Review --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.""Set Up & Sold Out: Find Out What Green Really Means [Paperback]"
It is a socialist war on capitalism via carbon.
It is carbon they are after, in any form. The control of carbon, energy.
Normal people are not fooled by leftist Fabian/stealth efforts.
The House oversight committee needs to get the energy political agenda commissar, Carol "Director of Socialists International" in front of it.
That was never a question.
You did not answer the first question. Can you tell apart a carbon dioxide molecule from a car from that of a person. The rest is a straw man argument. Are you a liberal who has wondered on in here by mistake?
Not with 100% certainty, though probabilistically, the isotope signature would be different. :-)
But I admit that's irrelevant to the point you were trying to make. The thing is, your point is incorrect.
You can no more distinguish a molecule of baseflow water from meteoric or one in your bathtub, but it's funny how we can call some "floodwaters"... just like the source and location matter for carbon dioxide.
This is a well established concept; though perhaps you are trying to institute a more liberal approach, I just don't see the legal support for it.
And it's not just federal. Look at state regulations. For example, New Jersey's technical regulations for site remediation (N.J.A.C. 7:26E) very explicitly note that "contamination" in groundwater can be natural, and "contamination" is any amount, even if below groundwater quality criteria or standards. If natural, it is "background contamination." Are they trying to outlaw nature and its realities?
Are you a liberal who has wondered on in here by mistake?
I'm a conservative who is sticking with the law as it has been passed by the legislative branch (and signed by President Bush), interpreted by the judicial branch (SCOTUS), and enacted by the executive branch (USEPA). I am "wondering" why I should change to your liberal, non-Constitutional interpretation for which you have provided no legal basis.
Lawyerly parsing verging on sophistry placemarker.
Just because the Supreme court says it's constitutional does not mean it is. This is why liberals try very hard , and way too often succeed , in getting collectivists who rule by whim. The carbon dioxide decision is a glaring example of that. Decisions like that ultimately hang on the commerce clause. No honest interruption supports any of the massive intrusions which have been built on that clause. In point of fact it was a threat to pack the court that intimidated the court into making a farmer growing wheat on his own land for himself subject to the commerce clause. In most civilized lands agreements made under coercion are not valid.
That was an AWESOMELY bad movie! One of my all-time favorites.

ZOTAC Introduces ZBOX MAGNUS EN980 VR Ready Mini-PC
Subject: Graphics Cards, Systems | March 10, 2016 - 11:38 AM | Sebastian Peak

ZOTAC is teasing a new mini PC "ready for virtual reality" leading up to Cebit 2016, happening later this month. The ZBOX MAGNUS EN980 supplants the EN970 as the most powerful version of ZOTAC's gaming mini systems, and will come equipped with no less than an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980.
(Image via Guru3D)
Some questions remain ahead of a more formal announcemnent, and foremost among them is the version of the system's GTX 980. Is this the full desktop variant, or the GTX 980m? It seems to be the former, if we can read into the "factory-installed water-cooling solution", especially if that pertains to the GPU. In any case this will easily be the most powerful mini-PC ZOTAC has released, as even the current MAGNUS EN970 doesn't actually ship with a GTX 970 as the name would imply; rather, a GTX 960 handles discrete graphics duties according to the specs.
The MAGNUS EN980's GTX 980 GPU - mobile or not - will make this a formidable gaming system, paired as it is with a 6th-gen Intel Skylake CPU (the specific model was not mentioned in the press release; the current high-end EN970 with dicrete graphics uses the Intel Core i5-5200U). Other details include support for up to four displays via HDMI and DisplayPort, USB 3.0 and 3.1 Type-C inputs, and built-in 802.11ac wireless.
We'll have to wait until Cebit (which runs from March 14 - 18) for more details. Full press release after the break.

Meet Cerberus: Crowdfunded Micro-ATX Case Made in USA
Subject: Cases and Cooling | February 12, 2016 - 07:00 AM | Sebastian Peak
Tagged: small form-factor, SFF, NCASE M1, Kimera Industries, enclosure, crowdfunding, Cerberus, case
Micro-ATX offers a compelling option for smaller system builds without the limitations inherent with the mini-ITX form-factor, and a new company aims to offer one of the smallest micro-ATX enclosures possible while still supporting full-size components. That company is Kimera Industries, a newcomer (founded in 2014) that will be turning to Indiegogo to fund the Cerberus mATX enclosure, to be built right here in the United States.
Known previously as Project Nova, the Cerberus is reminiscent of the NCASE M1, a crowdfunded mini-ITX design that is ridiculously small even for mITX. In addition to supporting the larger mATX form-factor motherboard, the Cerberus is constructed from steel (rather than the M1's aluminum), and boasts an extremely compact size for an enclosure that can easily house a dual-GPU gaming setup.
"At just 18.2L, Cerberus is smaller than nearly all mATX (and many mITX) cases in industry today, yet supports flagship graphics and high-end PC components, making it a potent enclosure for hardware enthusiasts that want a compact and portable computer without compromises on performance."
A look at the interior with a complete system installed shows just how much can be crammed into this small space, just as with the NCASE M1. The inclusion of a hinged bracket for a liquid cooler (or other components) is a nice touch that should aid in system building with the Cerberus.
So, just how small is the Cerberus? A look at the full specs (available here) reveals dimensions of 320 mm height, 170 mm width, and 364 mm depth (12.60 x 6.69 x 14.33 inches). The enlosure, made from 20 gauge steel internally with 18 gauge steel panels on the outside, weighs in at 11.68 lbs.
Here's a list of the features of the Cerberus enclosure from Kimera:
- Size: At just 18.2L, Cerberus is smaller than some of the most popular mITX cases on the market, from Fractal Design's Node 304, or BitFenix's Prodigy. When compared to most mATX cases, Cerberus typically bests the competition by 10L or more - a whopping 40%+ volume reduction.
- Quality: Made entirely of powder coated steel, and assembled in the United States, Cerberus is built to last for the long haul, with thoughtful features such as user-replaceable parts, durable metal hardware, and all-steel panel clips and pins.
- Design: Cerberus embraces a minimalist, refined aesthetic, with a luxurious matte finish and industrial design that embraces clean edges and understated features over bright lights and garish plastic accents.
- Customizability: With multiple colors on offer, additional colors available as stretch goals, and the option to add an optional metal handle and/or plexiglass window, Cerberus is engineered to be customized to enthusiasts' exact preferences.
- Flexibility: From SFX and ATX PSU support, to the hinged side bracket, to the innovative Infinite Vent system, Cerberus retains some of the most diverse hardware support in industry, and can comfortably contain systems as simple as HTPCs and as sophisticated as water-cooled, multi-GPU gaming powerhouses.
- Craftsmanship: Through a unique partnership with Sliger Designs, every Cerberus is built by trained and talented engineers on Sliger's production floor, located in Sparks, Nevada, USA. By manufacturing enclosures domestically, instead of through nondescript factories in China or Taiwan, Kimera Industries is able to maintain strict quality controls, communicate constantly with engineers on the floor, and greatly expedite production and shipment of units to backers - all while supporting local workers, businesses, and communities.
The Cerberus is also available in white, shown with optional handle
The Indiegogo campaign launches March 1st, and additional information can be found at the Kimera Industries site.
Introduction and First Impressions
The Enthoo EVOLV ITX it is not a new enclosure, but this striking color scheme - black with a glossy red interior - is. We'll take a thorough look at this mini-ITX enclosure in this review, and see how well it performs enclosing a gaming build.
The EVOLV series from Phanteks includes ATX, micro-ATX, and this mini-ITX versions; with all three sharing a common design language, though some of the features naturally differ. With this smallest design Phanteks decided to retain enough size to permit the use of standard components, with room for ATX power supplies, full length graphics cards, and liquid CPU cooling with up to a 280 mm radiator.
The EVOLV ATX was my first experience with a Phanteks enclosure, and I was impressed with the build quality and thoughtful design touches. There is a different approach to building with mini-ITX that introduces new elements, including the ability of a system to remain cool and quiet with components in much tighter quarters.

NZXT Introduces the Manta Mini-ITX Enclosure
Subject: Cases and Cooling | January 26, 2016 - 10:00 PM | Sebastian Peak
Tagged: small form factor, SFF, nzxt, mini-itx, Manta, enclosure, curved steel, case
NZXT has announced their newest enclosure, a mini-ITX design with curved steel panels called Manta.
This design looks quite round from the outside, and those added curves provide a lot of additional room for different cooling options in what is a very large case for mini-ITX. In fact, the Manta is actually bigger in overall volume than their Source S340, an ATX design! (The Source S340 is 7.87 x 17.52 x 17.01 inches, while this Manta is 9.65 x 16.77 x 17.72 inches.) So how did NZXT allocate all of that internal space?
The Manta offers a lot of room for fans and radiators.
Here's a look at the specs from NZXT:
- Motherboard Support: mini-ITX
- Expansion Slots: 2
- Power Supply Support: ATX
- Cooling System:
- Front: 2x 140/120mm (2 x 120mm included)
- Top: 2x 140/120mm
- Rear: 1x 120mm (Included)
- Radiator Support:
- Front: Up to 280mm
- Top: Up to 280mm
- Rear: 120mm
- Drive Bays
- Internal 3.5": 2

The Manta Mini-ITX case is up for pre-order now with a retail of $139.99, with availability estimated for February.
Fractal Design Introduces Define Nano S Mini-ITX Enclosure
Subject: Cases and Cooling | January 18, 2016 - 12:39 PM | Sebastian Peak
Tagged: small form factor, silent case, SFF, mini-itx, fractal design, enclosure, define s, define nano s, case
Fractal Design has introduced the Define Nano S enclosure; a new, mini-ITX version of their popular Define S mid-tower.
The Fractal Design Define S was our pick for 2015 enclosure of the year (in our year-in-review podcast), and this new mini-ITX version retains the larger enclosure's design aesthetic - and its support for full-size components.
"The Define Nano S is an ITX case that features compatibility with high end, full-size components, superior sound dampening, and an ATX-like layout."
Key features for the Define Nano S from Fractal Design:
- A Define Series ITX case designed for silent computing with sound dampening and ModuVent™ technology
- User-friendly construction with superior cable management and compatibility for full-size components
- Flexible storage options with room for up to 4 drives
- Accommodates a variety of radiator sizes and includes brackets for reservoir and pump mounting
- Features two Dynamic Series fans — 1 GP-12 and 1 GP-14 — with an adapter included for motherboards with limited fan headers
- Featuring an open interior allowing an unobstructed airflow path from the front of the case to the rear exhaust
- Easy-to-clean filters on the top and bottom, spanning the PSU position, with the bottom filter ejecting from the front for easy-access.
The Define Nano S offers a great deal of room for a mini-ITX enclosure (the Nano S is approximately 13.5 inches high, 8 inches wide, and 16.2 inches deep), with support for up to a 240/280 mm radiator on both top and front fan mounts, with 6 fan mounts overall (two of Fractal's Dynamic Series fans - 120 mm and 140 mm - are included). And an important detail; both the bottom and front fan mounts feature removable dust filters.
The enclosure offers the same "ModuVent" removable top vents, allowing more silent operation if the user doesn't need to use the upper fan mounts. There is sound dampening in place throughout, allowing for a quiet build. Storage mounts are behind the rear panel (as in the Define S) supporting two each 3.5-inch and 2.5-inch drives. GPUs up to 315 mm and CPU coolers up to 160 mm are supported along with ATX PSUs up to 160 mm deep.
Pricing will be $64.99 for the standard version, and $69.99 for the version with a window. Availability is set for March 2016.

Mini-STX Has Arrived: Meet the ECS H110SU-02 Motherboard
Subject: Motherboards | January 13, 2016 - 07:00 AM | Sebastian Peak
Tagged: small form factor, SFF, mini-stx, LGA 1151, Intel H110, ECS, CES 2016, CES
ECS has entered the brand new Mini-STX market with their H110SU-02 motherboard, one of our first looks at a motherboard based on Intel's 5x5 concept for a sub-mITX form-factor.
The ECS H110SU-02 (Image credit: Maximum PC)
As you can see this tiny motherboard offers a standard LGA 1151 socket for Intel processors up to 65W, and uses SoDIMM memory (DDR4). The board only offers one SATA port, with a pair of M.2 slots in a stacked configuration for both full-length (2280) SSDs and the shorter (2230) cards such as wireless network adapters.
- Platform: Intel H110/B150 chipset
- CPU: LGA1151 socket for Intel i3/i5/i7/Pentium/Celeron Processors (65W)
- Memory: 2x SO-DIMM DDR4 slots
- Storage: 1x M.2 Slot (2280); 1x SATA
- Networking: RJ45; 1x M.2 Slot (2230) for Wi-Fi/Bluetooth 4.0 card
- USB: 1x USB 3.1 Type-C; 2x USB 3.0 ports
- Audio: 3.5 mm combo jack
- Power Supply: DC-in 19V, 90W
- Dimensions (W x D) 140 x 147 mm
Mini-SFX vs. Mini-ITX comparison (Image credit: Maximum PC)
Maximum PC posted this video with their overview of the motherboard:
With no PCI Express slot and the limitation of a 65W processor (which eliminates current high-end models such as the Core i7-6700K and Core i5-6600K, both at 91W) this is targeting a different audience than those choosing mini-ITX for a small gaming rig, for example. Still, there will undoubtedly be a number of applications for a system of just over 5 inches square; though Intel's existing NUC platform provides essentially the same experience in a smaller package, minus the socketed desktop CPU support, of course.
No details were given on pricing or availability.

Great tall bowl shape that reminds me of a closed calla lily flower. The packaging is really sturdy and high quality. IWA shipped them right away and there was no breakage. The rim is a bit thick, but they are really tough glasses that don't tip over easily, so I feel okay about using them outdoors. My expensive glasses are nice to use, but I always worry about them!

Preview Carrie Underwood's 'Little Toy Guns' Video
Carrie Underwood's 'Little Toy Guns' video is coming on Friday, but the superstar is letting fans take a peek early.
Carrie Underwood's 'Little Toy Guns' video is coming on Friday, but the superstar is letting fans take a peek early.
Carrie Underwood's 'Little Toy Guns' will remind fans of the title track from her most recent album, as well as many of Martina McBride's greatest hits. While the song isn't about domestic violence of the physical variety, it is a reminder of how sensitive young ears can be.
Carrie Underwood isn't done opening NBC's season of 'Sunday Night Football' quite yet. The singer will introduce a special version of her theme song before the Super Bowl. 'Waiting All Day for a Super Bowl Fight' will replace 'Waiting All Day for Sunday Night' when the Seattle Seahawks square off against the New England Patriots next Sunday (Feb. 1).
Brad Paisley led some of the top stars of the Grand Ole Opry in an emotional farewell to Little Jimmy Dickens during his memorial service on Thursday (Jan. 8).
Carrie Underwood joined Vince Gill to sing his signature song 'Go Rest High on That Mountain' during a memorial service for Little Jimmy Dickens on Thursday.
Carrie Underwood and Taylor Swift sure know how to mind their manners, at least according to a new list.
With a new year comes new parties, new resolutions and sometimes even mishaps (we're looking at you, Kacey Musgraves). Country stars took to social media to wish their fans a happy new year, announce their resolutions and share their party pictures from New Year's Eve.
Carrie Underwood is batting five for five!
These days, Carrie Underwood is balancing preparing to be a mom with releasing new music ... by blending the two together, sort of.
Carrie Underwood and her husband, Mike Fisher, keep their faith at the center of their lives together, even when it comes to family planning.

High fiber foods have often been touted by nutrition experts, and the media generally, as desirable foods to eat. But is this really a fact? Or is it fiction? (more…)
High fiber foods have often been touted by nutrition experts, and the media generally, as desirable foods to eat. But is this really a fact? Or is it fiction? (more…)
This is the first in our series: Food Facts wants to bring a little humor to the end of your week, and comedian Brian Regan knows how to take a serious subject: food, diet and nutrition – and bring some humor to it. Watch him explain his dilemma with eating Fig Newtons, and the whole issue of serving size. This guy is really funny. Enjoy!
It's a fact. Millions of Americans opt for fast food and many know it's not a good idea. They simply want to eat fast, and not devote much time, effort of expense to preparing their daily foods. Still others would be more interested in consuming health foods, but believe it is a more expensive proposition. Or is it? (more…)
We have written about sugar substitutes in the Food Facts Blog in the past, and it's time to revisit this important topic. The sugar substitute industry in the United States is huge, but not without controversy. Consumers are concerned and want to know if the sugar substitutes they are using are safe to consume. (more…)
The Food Facts girls are on the move again, getting the latest information about food allergies and sensitivities to share with our many faithful blog readers and Food Facts members.
Tiffany and Stephanie had a great visit with the three doctors at the Adult & Pediatric Allergy of Central Jersey, PA, located on 1740 Oak Tree Road, Edison NJ. This practice also has an office in the Medical Arts Building, 3 Hospital Plaza, Old Bridge NJ.
"Dr. Kanuga, Dr. Centeno and Dr. Reyes operate a thriving practice," Tiffany said. "All of the doctors serve on the NJ Allergy Society, serving the community in an area of medicine that is growing significantly. Foodfacts.com is a perfect complement to help their patients and people within the community."
"We were surprised to find out that medicine dealing with food allergies and sensitivities only involved about 5 to 7% of the population back in the 1950s, and today about 30% of the population is affected," said Stephanie.
Food Facts is looking forward to interviewing Dr. Kanuga in the near future to learn his thoughts on the increase in food allergies and some of the innovative new advancements in allergy testing and treatment. Look for his study regarding food hypersensitivity in our next post!
If readers have any questions you would like to see answered in the next interview, please email [email protected] today!

Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week kicks off its fifth season at Lincoln Center where models dressed in designs fresh from the drawing board are hitting the runway.
Thousands of fashion editors, buyers, and industry insiders will descend upon New York during the next week to see more than 80 of fashion's most well-respected and emerging designers present their collections for the upcoming spring season. Fashion trend forecasters expect collections to include elements of simplicity, with a greater emphasis on pants this season.
Getting trends right is crucial for designers who hope to land on department store racks for the upcoming season. Just last week, retail executives said they would be entering the crucial holiday season cautiously — a tip-toe attitude that could impact buyers' plans for spring and summer inventories.

Some like it hot — especially women's swimwear designers.
For the eighth year, thousands of fashion industry pros and onlookers migrated to Miami Beach to check out the latest in "barely there" attire during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim. The show, which is one of the largest swimwear trade shows, ran from July 19 to July 23.
Although the bathing suits may be skimpy, the stakes are not. Women's swimwear sales are projected to grow to $2.9 billion this year while total U.S. swimwear sales are expected to hit $4.2 billion, according to forecasts from market research firm NPD Group.
"For designers, group shows offer turn-key production and public relations elements," said Christina Neault, executive producer of IMG Fashion. "For buyers and media in attendance, it allows them to see three or four designers within one show."
This year, color continued to dominate the runway as models strutted down the catwalk in intricate patterns, coordinating pastels and animal prints. Designers also put a new spin on the traditional one-piece suit with cut-out designs and silhouettes reminiscent of past decades.
The show's popularity grew this season as the number of designers showing their Spring 2013 collections there hit an all-time high with more than 30 present. The list included Lisa Blue, Luli Fama, Mara Hoffman Swim and BCBGMaxAzriaGroup.

Global management consulting firm A.T. Kearney takes an annual look at which emerging markets are ripe for retail expansion.
Its study ranks the top 30 emerging countries and grades them on many factors, including an assessment of country risk, population size, wealth as well as the country's current retail saturation.
With anemic growth in the U.S. and Europe, retailers realize that global expansion is more important than ever. This has prompted retailers to search the globe for untapped consumer markets.
"While the world's largest developing markets — particularly the BRIC nations of Brazil, Russia, India, and China — still tempt the largest global retailers and show no signs of slowing down as a source of growth, many smaller untapped markets are providing new growth opportunities," A.T. Kearney's report says.
The firm's research uncovered growing potential in such countries as Georgia, Oman, Mongolia and Azerbaijan, which all made their debut on the list.
The emergence of these newer markets as well as the Arab Spring uprisings, which hurt the rankings of a number of countries in the Middle East and Northern Africa, led to a shake-up in the rankings . Lebanon, Morocco and Tunisia all slipped. However, several countries in the region remained high on the list and continue to be attractive markets for retailers.
"Given the accelerated growth rates of developing countries compared to the anemic growth in European and North American markets, global retailers must have a strategy for expansion into developing markets," said Michael Moriarty, A.T. Kearney partner and co-leader of the study. "In the past five years, U.S.-based Wal-Mart, France-based Carrefour, U.K.-based Tesco and Germany-based Metro Group saw their revenues in developing countries grow 2.5-times faster than in their home markets."

Stir in one part candy store, one part alcohol and a splash of cocktail risk-taking. For many vodka producers, this is a recipe for success, as they seek to capture the American consumer and draw attention to their brands through creative new flavors.
Flavored vodka accounts for approximately 27 percent of leading brand vodka volume, and continues to grow in popularity as total vodka sales also increase, according to market research firm Technomic.
In 2011, David Ozgo, senior vice president of economic and strategic analysis at the industry's trade group, the Distilled Spirits Council, counted 115 different flavors in the vodka market.
"They included everything from the basics, like orange, vanilla, and lime, to the more exotic: ginger, pepper, horseradish, bacon, and wasabi," Ozgo said. "Such flavors allow trained mixologists and at-home bartenders alike to develop new and interesting cocktails."
Brand marketers use new flavors to drum up press coverage for their companies and to keep their brands top-of-mind for bartenders when they're mixing up new cocktails, said Donna Hood Crecca, Technomic's senior director in the adult beverage resource group.
"There are some really wild new flavors coming out, and a lot of them relate to very sweet flavor profiles, which is different from a few years ago," Crecca said. Before, the focus was on more savory flavors.
Today's top three best-selling vodkas are all sweet: Pinnacle Whipped Cream, Absolut Citron, and Smirnoff Raspberry, Crecca said.

Americans are expected to spend more on candy, flowers and little trinkets this year as they celebrate Easter, according to a survey by BIGinsight on behalf of the retail industry trade group, the National Retail Federation.
Spending on the holiday is expected to rise 11 percent from last year to about $16.8 billion. This means the average person celebrating will spend $145.28 on everything from candy to food to new Easter outfits.
That's no small sum, especially when you consider that most Americans are paying more for gasoline these days.
"Though the price of gas is on everyone's mind, Easter is one of the few holidays some consumers are willing to stretch their budgets, especially because many children look forward to treats and new outfits on Easter morning," said Matthew Shay, the federation's president and CEO.
To help the budget stretch further, we have rounded up some ideas for Easter gifts that cost less than $25. Click ahead and get some inspiration.

The nation's oldest operating toy store, FAO Schwarz, is turning 150 years old this year. To commemorate this milestone, the company has assembled a collection of more than 20 iconic toys spanning the decades that customers can view at its Fifth Avenue store in New York until April 10.
The toys date to the early years of the 20th century and include a Richard Stieff Teddy Bear. Also on display are the original Barbie and Ken dolls, a prototype of the Etch A Sketch, and seven of the original Hot Wheels cars. Many of the items come from the archives of the toy manufacturers that made them, and some are in their original packaging.
There also are a few glimpses into the history of FAO Schwarz itself. The company's iconic FAO Schwarz Clock Tower, pictured here, adorned the store from 1986 to 2004, and has returned to mark the occasion, singing out the theme song, "Welcome to Our World of Toys" every five minutes.
A sales ledger from 1909 and a number of the company's early catalogs are also on display. FAO Schwarz was one of the first retailers to use a mail-order catalog to market its products. It began the practice in 1876, 14 years after its founding during the Civil War.
Please click ahead to see a sample of the historic toys in the collection as well as get a glimpse of a few scenes from around the store.

If you have ever had to wrestle your iPad from your child's clutches, you know that kids love playing on tablets and smartphones. The trend has not been missed by toymakers. They know that even before a child can read or speak, they have an affinity for these devices.
Enter the biggest trend at this year's American International Toy Fair: toys that are either based on apps, or can be used with tablets and smartphones. The trend began last year, but this year the volume of products in this category will explode.
Some see the emerging trend as a way for toy companies to woo children back to their products, but others expect these technologies also can be used to enhance classic children's play.
Whatever side you're on, it is still too early to know what kids will think of these products and which ones will stand out in the crowd.
Already, several basic approaches to this market have sprung up. Some toymakers are using physical toys to interact with smartphones and tablets, while others are using apps to strengthen their brands by carving out a space for them in the virtual world. Another group is recognizing that these brands are an important pop culture phenomenon and are developing toys that bring these virtual characters and games to life in the real world.

"Play Happens" is the motto you see splattered on signs as you walk around the American International Toy Fair at the Jacob K. Javitz Center in New York, and indeed it does. That might be why the mood remained upbeat at the 2012 Toy Fair, despite coming off another year of weak sales.
U.S. retail sales of toys generated $21.18 billion in 2011, a 2 percent decline from the $21.68 billion in toy sales rung up in 2010, according to market researcher NPD Group. Of course the decline was not even; sales of licensed toys bucked the trend, rising 2 percent in dollar sales; and there were some brands such as Mattel's Barbie and Crayola that continued to turn in a strong performance.
Classic toys such as building sets and dolls saw the most significant sales gains, 23 percent and 7 percent, respectively.
But to stay relevant, toymakers are looking to new products to excite shoppers and get them to buy, and that's what Toy Fair is all about. Click ahead to see some of the coolest toys from Toy Fair 2012.

Models wearing cutting-edge designs are hitting the runways at New York's Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, which is in its fourth season at Lincoln Center.
Thousands of fashion-industry insiders are in New York through Feb. 16 to see 90 of fashion's most well-respected and emerging designers present their collections for the upcoming Fall season. Fashion trend forecasters expect designs to emphasize simplicity and employ more feminine shapes and fabrics.
Although the economy has shown signs of rebounding, industry experts say consumers still seem cautious about planning their luxury purchases.
High fashion continues to take note of consumers who wish to buy big names on a not-so-big budget. Several designers, including Jason Wu, Missoni, and Nicole Miller, have collaborated with mass-market retailers to offer collections with lower price points.

Love may be blind — but it's not free. In fact, Americans are planning to spend big bucks this Valentine's Day to show their significant others that they care, according to a new report.
The National Retail Federation forecasts that love-struck consumers will spend 8.5 percent more on Valentine's Day this year, bringing the average spending to $126.03 per person, or a total of $17.6 billion.
Men will once again be the big spenders, shelling out almost twice as much for women in the elusive hunt for the ideal gift, the NRF said.
But once Cupid has helped you snag your true love, where do you buy the present that will make your other half swoon. To help you out, we've found a variety of "his" and "hers" gifts — for whatever type of sweetie is in your life.

Historical Traveler Reviews Sheraton At The Falls Niagara Falls
Great place to stay for gambling!
We stayed here on a Saturday night in July. Our main purpose was to go to the Seneca Casino. The casino is located right across the street. If you are here to gamble, this is definitely the place to stay. Our room was clean and spacious. We had plenty of towels available. Staff was friendly. We did not eat in the restaurant. When you are gambling at Seneca, you can pretty much eat for free at the buffet there if you accumulate some points. Elevators were a bit slow on Saturday night, but that is the only negative I could think of.
Problems, Crappy Service
From the outside of the hotel it looked perfectly fine, when we went in, it was pure chaos. We waited 20 minutes just to get a room and the elevators weren't in proper working order, making it difficult to get in and out of. They would always close as people were getting in and out as soon as they opened. Oh god, and when they closet it sounds like someone dropped a carpet on the floor. The room that my uncle first got, had spider webs and reeked of cat urine. So, he got upgraded to the 5th floor, but his toilet wasn't working. Meanwhile, we were on the 2nd floor. The towels felt like paper and has pieces falling off on your body when you went to use them. They didn't give us our box of tissues even though my mother left them out on purpose and still nothing. The exhaust was broken so when the bathroom got filled up with steam, there was nowhere it could go. The shower head was blasting us with 1 stream of water coming down hard and when we tried to change the shower nozzle setting it was broken because it would NOT budge. First thing when you walk into the lobby, it smells sickengly like chlorine. And the jacuzzi was out of order and they don't know when they'll be expecting the shipment. The eatery was so overpriced, it was disgusting. And a 100 something dollars per night. We were better staying at Comfort Inn or a motor lodge, they would have given us more service than that. Luckily, because of the little incident with the cat urine, (most likely people are allowed to bring pets to that hotel) we got 50% of our hotel stay price.
One of the Worst I've Ever Stayed at
This hotel was on of the worst hotels I've ever stayed at. The elevators were always wet, the restaurant was very overpriced ($14 for my 3 year old son to eat half a plate of food from their buffet? Are they nuts?), and the hallways needed a good scrub down. The first room they put us in, with a sign in front that said "Non-Smoking" reeked of urine and cigarette smoke. The second room we moved into had broken toilets and a broken lamp. The only good points of staying here are the sort-of nice pool area and the location to all the attractions. Otherwise, there are a lot more better hotels avaliable in the same price range.
Holiday Inn - Loved it
Excellent place and is well upkept. Is in walking distance to Niagara falls so you can keep the car parked and save some dollars on parking. There is also casino opposite to the hotel and the rainbow bridge is in walking distance.
Overall, will stay again and if you really priceline it you can get good rates. I would say one of the best bang for the buck.
Holiday Inn Select 300 3rd Avenue
We spent 7 nights at the Holiday Inn Select for our wedding/honeymoon right next to the falls and it was great! The jacuzzi was closed so they gave us an upgrade to a suite and referred us to a sister hotel within walking distance to use their facilities if we wanted to. The room was nice and the service top notch; the housekeeping staff was very helpful and knew the area and hotel well. I will definitely stay there again.
Excellent! Loved It
I would give this hotel an excellent rating. We booked this online which makes me a little leary as we have had a few bad experiences in the past with online reservation sites (filthy dirty hotels that we actually walked out of one time because it was so bad), this time we tried Priceline.com and it was wonderful. The lobby and public areas of the hotel were beautiful. The pool was one of the nicest indoor pools I have seen. The employees were all very nice and helpful. The room was very spacious and clean. We enjoyed a nice dinner at the hotel restaurant. There is a public city parking garage next to the hotel and they give you free parking for your stay. We are planning to return this summer with our children and we will be staying at the Holiday Inn Select when we take that trip. I would like to thank both Priceline and the Holiday Inn for making our 18th Anniversary weekend an enjoyable one.
Disgusting rooms
We stayed there courtesy of Seneca Casino, the first room the curtains were falling off the wall. The bathroom ceiling was falling down, filthy!!! The beds were like laying on a Board. Asked to be moved. The second room was a little cleaner and the beds not so hard. We had 3 nights and left after 1. I have stayed at Motel 6 were the rooms were nicer. It was disgusting. If we had to pay for the room asking $160. a night, we would have left.
Very comfortable and conveniently located
We stayed at this hotel as a guest of Seneca Niagara Casino. We were treated very well. The room was comfortable, clean and the hotel was conveniently located to the sights.
The US side of niagra is hurtting and the lack of sercive dose not help. THE ROOMS LOOKED LIKE THEY HAVENT BEEN REMODLED SCINCE 1975. we had them change out room to a king size which was worse than the double bed room. the price for room service outragious and they forgot half our meal then served the other half cold. GOOD THINGS CLOSE TO THE USA PARK AND THE BIRDGE TO CANADA AND ACCROSS THE STREET FORM THE US'S NEW CASINO.
Nothing but problems
I was there for a formal event and they treated us horribly, wanted $10 for a usually free continental breakfast, gave me and my fiance 2 double beds instead of the king I had reserved, and charged the credit card I reserved the room with and the credit card I paid with. I have yet to receive the refund for being double charged after 12 days.

New york and Niagara
We arrived in New York. It took a long time to get off the plane because the vice president was landing and the whole airport was shut for an hour. Yesterday we started our 3 day bus tour of new york state. We went to the secret caverns which is a big cave and waterfall underground. It was discovered by two cows. Next we drove to Niagara falls and we watched a show of native Americans dancing. I got chosen to come up on stage ...
Day 2 in Niagara Falls
... lunch, then headed back to the campground in early afternoon. We took it easy and relaxed by the pool for the rest of the afternoon. After dinner we took the shuttle back to the Falls and sat at the Edgewater restaurant and listened to a live band. The Niagara Park has music and fireworks every Friday - perfect timing for our visit :-). We watched the falls illuminate and the then fireworks show before heading back to the ...
Trek Day No.2 - Niagara Falls, New York
I had such a good sleep last night! Even though I woke up at 6:30 I pretty much slept throughout the night on the thinnest mat I have ever seen. Last night Drew told us we had to wake up around 8am and be on the road by 9. We made it with 2 minutes to spare which I thought was pretty good going for our first go. On our journey Drew passed round a piece of paper with all our names on and we had to tick what activities we wanted to do over the next 3 ...
Niagara Falls: Day 1
We caught the street car back to Union Station, and being a Monday morning at 7:30 am, the car was completely packed - you could not literally fit anyone else in. We were lucky we got on at one of the first stops, so we got a seat. We otherwise would not have even got our cases on - I can imagine the looks we would have got if we had tried. I'm not sure that it was the most popular method of getting to Union Station with suitcases for the other commuters, but we actually ...

First off --- Gorgeous! We got in a little after 9pm but just in time for the colored lights. (Apparently at 9:30 pm they put on a beautiful mixed color light show) Worth either waiting til the sun goes down while you are there or coming at night. Our trip we thought was going to be quiet, romantic.. just enjoy the view... we were wrong. As soon as we got out of the van this kid popped up out of nowhere, as if hiding in the bushes, and went on and ...

I was reading Herman Grooten's "Chess Strategy for Club Players" here the other day, a book I would highly recommend. I came across an endgame between Kotov and Najdorf, and I just have to share this one with you, as I laughed my panties off reading it. Post a picture afterwards! I'll use Mr. Grooten's words from here on.
Here the Argentinian sacrificed both his rooks for both white pawns, in order to reach the notorious two knights ending:
1...Rxf4+ 2. Kxf4 Txg7 3.Nhg7+
Still relishing his own witticism, Najdorf got a suprise when his opponent played on. Flabbergasted, the Argentinian asked why his opponent wanted to continue in this "theoretically drawn position". "But didn't you know that someone in Tbilisi has finally found how this extremely difficult endgame can be won?", the Russian replied with a deadpan expression. When the blood had drained from Najdorf's face, Kotov laughed and offered a draw in his turn. This episode is described in Tim Krabbe's book New Chess Curiosities.
=) owned, great joke! (is there any more u can post?)
you have a whole game here(I have set a position several moves before the end):
Try to win it yourself.
Two Rooks will generally win against two Knights. Unfortunately, there's no way for White to get rid of the pawns without giving up at least one of the Rooks.
This position is clearly a draw. Black has no way to stop the pawns w/o losing material, white has no way to promote the pawns, and 2 knights are not enough to force checkmate w/o any other material on the board.

Capture the action with this 3-D soccer display. Show your team's colors! Go for the goal!
Perhaps the most widely played game in the world, soccer, is called football by the most countries. The term soccer was coined in the United States. The U.S. already had a game called football, so this new sport was named association football. The name was shortened to assoc., then soc., and around 1895, it became called soccer. Today, men and women around the world play the game.
Check out a soccer game in your neighborhood, on TV, or a video. Find pictures of local or famous teams.
To make your own soccer action triarama, open a recycled file folder and cut it into a large square with Crayola® Scissors. Fold the square into a triangle, and then fold it the other direction to make a smaller triangle. Open the file folder and cut along any one of the new folds from the edge into the center of the square. Later, you will slide one of the cut pieces under the other to create a three-sided soccer stadium. Save the piece you cut off.
With Crayola Erasable Colored Pencils, illustrate soccer fans, the stadium, and the field (on one of the two bottom triangles). On the cut-off piece of file folder, draw soccer players and the goalie. Leave tabs at their feet to fold under for support.
Make a box with chenille sticks for the soccer goal. Tie yarn or string to the sides of the box. Weave the yarn into a net. Attach extra chenille sticks to each side for support.
Roll Crayola Model Magic into a ball. Dry. Add soccer ball details with a Crayola Marker. Dry.
Slide the bottom triangle of your triarama under the soccer field so your triarama stands up. Secure the bottom with Crayola School Glue. Glue players' feet tabs to the field. Glue on the soccer ball. Dry and display!

IN PERSON; 'Bloodied But Unbowed'
Published: December 23, 2001
(Page 2 of 2)
He said that there was no use of straitjackets, and that the eight -- all gang members -- were held in lockdown for as long as they were because they were ''ringleaders who were wreaking havoc in this facility.''
''They were putting hits out on other inmates and detainees, creating virtual insurrection in this jail, riots when they had assembly programs, attacking detainees in the cafeteria -- all gang-related,'' he said. ''I had to bring it to a halt.''
This is not the first time Mr. Clark has faced charges of stretching the rules. In 1996, he was accused of cuffing and shackling detainees for two days, a punishment that the report said went beyond the the seriousness of the incident.
Mr. Clark, long popular on the lecture circuit, speaks with a style that is part Muhammad Ali, part minister and part showman -- all sprinkled with the occasional malapropism.
''I would not subject the doctors, the medical staff, my teachers, my social workers, my administrative staff, my doctors and innocent inmates and detainees to this type of pathological deviants, little miscreants who are wreaking uncontrolled havoc,'' he said. ''I'm the director here, and I will not give in to the those liberalized attempts by a bureaucracy to condone and encourage terrorism in this detention facility and consequently in the community.''
But critics say Mr. Clark -- who grew up in Newark himself -- wants a different set of rules for himself by claiming that the youth of Essex County are worse than those elsewhere.
''This is a generalization that we find unacceptable,'' said Cecilia Zalkind, executive director of the Association for Children of New Jersey, a children's advocacy group that has asked Acting Gov. Donald T. DiFrancesco to have the state attorney general look into Mr. Clark's actions.
''We have a juvenile justice code for a reason,'' said Ms. Zalkind. ''The young people housed at this house of detention are deemed to be juveniles, and there are provisions to waive serious offenders to the adult courts.''
Supporters said Mr. Clark -- always something of a lightning rod -- brought about needed changes. Indeed, several members of the clergy and other community leaders said the youth facility was a house of horrors -- with a corrupt administration and ineffective discipline -- before Mr. Clark arrived.
Under Mr. Clark, the facility has for the most part been orderly. In addition, he has started a program in which members of the clergy and other community leaders provide mentoring and counseling to the youth. In addition, he has made school mandatory for the detainees, and last spring 11 of them earned their general equivalency diplomas while nine others earned their high school degrees.
''The issue is really not Joe Clark,'' said the Rev. Reginald Jackson, the head of the black clergy of Newark and a supporter of Mr. Clark. ''The issue is whether or not we're going to allow these detention facilities to become recruitment centers for gangs.''

NASBHC has been extremely busy these last few months, and we're excited about all we have to share in this Global Giving report. Your support is what makes all of this possible, and we'd like to thank you for having such an impact on the health of youth and adolescents.
School-Based Health Center Capital Grant Program
On May 9th, 2012, Kathleen Sebelius, Secretary of Health and Human Services, announced the next round of construction and equipment grants for SBHCs: $75 million to be awarded to approximately 150 sponsors from the School-Based Health Center Capital (SBHCC) Program. This funding is in addition to previous disbursements of $95 and $14 million in funding throughout 2011.
This one-time investment, combined with local funds that support school-based health care, will improve health and education outcomes for thousands of students. Together, we pushed hard for SBHC's inclusion in the Affordable Care Act, and this funding is a direct result of our work, supported by donors like you.
These bricks and mortar dollars are an important first step – but SBHCs need direct federal financial support for operations to continue delivering quality comprehensive services to our nation's children and adolescents. We know we can count on you to help us keep up the fight as we continue to advocate for school-based health care in your community and around the country.
NASBHC Updates:
Oral Health
Last summer, the National Assembly on School-Based Health Care (NASBHC), in partnership with Kaiser Permanente, launched a training and technical assistance project with 20 school-based health centers (SBHCs). During the 10-month initiative, the grantees expanded the capacity of school-based primary care clinicians to deliver preventative oral health services.
The program was a huge success. The grantees now have the knowledge and capacity to identify children and adolescents that are at risk for dental diseases, and referral networks with local dental providers to ensure that high risk patients have increased access to treatment services, as well as a dental home. Several of the current grantees will conduct a storyboard poster session at the 2012 National School-Based Health Care Convention to discuss their experiences with the project.
We are proud to announce we have awarded a second round of grants to 20 organizations in 10 states. Click here for a list of the grantees. These SBHCs will participate in a 14-month quality assurance collaborative designed to enhance the capacity of school-based primary care clinicians to deliver oral health preventive services. Learn more about this exciting program, and our partnership with Kaiser Permanente, on our website.
New Staff
We're pleased to welcome two new staff members since our last Global Giving update: Joy Twesigye, Program Manager, and Molly Foltzer, Program Assistant.
Joy Twesigye, MS, MPP, WHNP-BC joined NASBHC in 2012 as the Program Manager. Her diverse background in health care equals over 10 years of direct care delivery, working with government agencies/programs, public and private payers, and health care institutions. In her position at NASBHC she is responsible for overseeing and monitoring project management, delivering and developing training materials as well as managing two large national cooperative agreements with federal agencies.
Molly Foltzer joined NASBHC in May of 2012 as a Program Assistant. Prior to this position, Molly worked as a Health Educator and Crisis Counselor in the Women's Health and Reproductive Justice Field. She also has experience supporting immigrant health through medical interpretation services, and acted as the Prevention and Education Intern for a HIV/AIDS related nonprofit. Molly graduated from Dickinson College with a BA in Sociology, Spanish, and Health Studies. She is currently a MPH Candidate with a focus in Health Promotion.
NASBHC's 2010 – 2011 Annual Report Available Online
The theme of 2010 - 2011's Annual Report is Breakthrough: A Year of Growth and Change, and it highlights our recent successes advancing school-based health care on Capitol Hill, in communities, and in schools; advocating for national policies, programs, and funding; and building community capacity to provide high quality, comprehensive services.

2012 National School-Based Health Care Convention is June 24 – 27th in Albuquerque, New Mexico!
Every year the National Assembly on School-Based Health Care (NASBHC) brings together more than 800 child and adolescent health providers and advocates for the National School-Based Health Care Convention.
The 2012 theme: New Directions for School-Based Health Care: Hot Topics for our Future highlights our focus on recent advancements of school-based health care on Capitol Hill, in communities, and in schools.
NASBHC's Convention is the premier advocacy, networking, and continuing education forum for school-based health professionals and those interested in and working around the intersection between health and education.
