Some of us are born with a level head and the seemingly innate ability to develop systems to get organized. Me? Not so much, I was drowning in loose pieces of paper and post-it notes. I wrote everything down, had great plans to stay organized, but never could keep up with where the paper went.
Then I fell in love with my trusty camera phone. I've gathered some of my favorite tips that work with both Apple and Android phones. Ready to get started? Great, here we go.
1. In the Kitchen
When I'm in a rush and don't have time to write down exactly what we need in the kitchen, I just take a picture or two. With a picture of what my fridge and pantry look like, I can easily pick up the staples without ever writing a note to myself.
We also store sugar, salt, and flour in french canning jars and mason jars that are not labeled. (Now sure, I could label them, but where is the adventure in that?) To keep us from forgetting what ingredient goes in what jar, I took a picture and added the label with a text labeling app. You can use any text labeling app you like best. I used Phonto for these pictures because I like to upload my favorite fonts from my computer to use.
2. In the office and living room
For me, the task of writing down all the serial numbers for electronics and computer software is something I know I should take the time to do, but never actually get around to doing it. Instead of copying down a serial code with eleventy-billion numbers, I simply take a picture of it.
I use Evernote (it's free!) to save my pictures behind a secure passcode. My information is organized into different sections: software, electronics, car information and more. Next time you need to remember that zillion number serial code for something you bought last year, it will be easy to find.
If you are like me, you have USB flash drives to store extra digital files and can never remember what is actually on them. Now I take a picture of the flash drive after I fill it with files. This way I have a visual guide for what files are where.
If you have more cords than electronics but never can find the right cord when you need it, just take a picture. I take a picture of all my electronics with the cords in use so I can remember which cord goes where and in what configuration.
3. Closets, attic, and the garage
I once tried to remember where I put things by writing things down in a notebook. I even bought a pretty notebook to make it seem extra special. When I packed the camping supplies in a storage box I would write it down on my designated page. When I packed my oldest son's winter snow pants in a bag and placed it on a shelf in the basement, I wrote it down. It went great…for a while. Guess what? I lost the notebook.
Now I take pictures of everything. Where I store the off-season clothes in the attic, the location of the extra coffee mugs, and just about anything else is all documented in my Evernote file.
4. In the garden
Take a picture when you plant your seeds and add the date and number of seeds planted on your image with a text label. I learned that by taking a pretty picture of my plants and adding a label with information, I was more likely to actually keep up with progress than if I wrote information in a notebook.
A fun side note: this is also a great project for kids. My boys loved taking pictures of their plants during each stage of development last year. The joy of taking blurry daily pictures of a bean plant from germination until the day the beans were eaten is more exciting to kids than you may imagine.
These are just some of the fun ways that using your camera phone can help you stay organized around the house. I use my phone in new ways all the time, like taking a picture of the boys' playroom when it is actually clean, just to remind them of what it should look like. When someone says, "Oh, Mom, it's clean!" I can ask if it looks like the picture. If not, it's not really clean. There are no excuses when there is a picture for reference.

It seems like just about everyone throws a Brazilian influence into jazz at one point or another, but in reality, very few musicians blend jazz and Brazilian music as skillfully as pianist Helio Alves, drummer Duduka Da Fonseca, and vocalist Maucha Adnet. All three musicians bring a lifetime of experience with Brazilian music, coming directly from their roots in the country. At the same time, they've all spent years immersing themselves in New York's jazz scene, bringing an honest connection to their music into every performance that they tackle. These are three musicians that serve as role models for the potential that Brazilian Jazz holds to be exciting, expressive, and captivating.
The group performs some music from another master in this video, as they work their way through Antonio Carlos Jobim's "Chega de Saudade." This three musicians joined with bassist Uli Zrenner-Woldenstein on October 3, 2012 at Domicil Dortmund . . . and they tore this one up.
This performance does something rare – it puts Jobim in a new light, invigorating it with a fresh perspective that honors both tradition and the future. Kudos to Alves, Fonseca, and Adnet for this inspiring performance!

Injunction for PRS tenant after death threats to social housing resident
Published by Anonymous for 24dash.com in Housing and also in Communities, Legal
Injunction for PRS tenant after death threats to social housing resident
A private rented sector tenant has been given an anti-social behaviour injunction after making threats of violence towards a neighbour living in social housing.
Social landlord Magenta Living successfully obtained the injunction at Birkenhead County Court to protect its tenant.
The private resident, from Darleydale Drive, Eastham, played loud music, made a lot of noise in her property and would fight with visitors to her home.
Sam Cummins, Magenta Living tenancy enforcement officer, said: "This resident thought that, because she wasn't a tenant of ours, there was nothing we could do to prevent her abusive behaviour. We will do everything within our power to protect our residents. This was a terrifying ordeal for our tenant, in which her property was attacked and threats were made against her life.
"We applied for an anti-social behaviour injunction that prevents this private resident from making any further threats. This has a power of arrest attached, meaning if she breaks one of the conditions, she could be jailed. We are very pleased with this outcome."
Since bringing its anti-social behaviour services in-house in 2010, Magenta Living's tenancy enforcement team has recently achieved Housemark's ASB accreditation.

Jeremy Waite, head of social strategy at Adobe EMEA, has produced a nice little deck called quite simply "How to plan a successful social media campaign".
He kicks it off with an excellent quote and truism about the nature of social media and what it can and can not deliver:
"Social media doesn't fix anything. It just amplifies things. If your restaurant sucks, it just sucks harder in social media. It doesn't make your chicken fingers taste better or your beer taste bolder". The rest of the deck is well worth a look.

Survey: We're All Stressed Out! (Especially Overweight Kids)
A little bit of stress can be good for you. But too much can hurt — and according to the American Psychological Association's annual survey on the topic, a lot of us in the U.S. are feeling the pain.
"Perhaps most notable," the report says, "are what the survey results suggest about the connection between overweight children and stress." Almost a third of U.S. kids are overweight or obese, according to the Trust for America's Health. And 31% of kids who reported being overweight in the APA's survey said they were worried about things in their lives, compared to 14% of normal-weight kids.
Overweight kids were also more likely to report having trouble falling asleep, headaches and stomach problems, feeling angry or getting in fights and "not wanting to do anything." And they're more likely to report that a parent has been worried or stressed out in the past month.
Of course, this kind of survey can't tell which came first — the weight problem or the other problems. (Do kids worry a lot because they're overweight, or are they overweight because they are stressed out?)
Not surprisingly, kids handle stress differently depending on their weight. Normal-weight children were more likely to say they play sports and do other "healthy things" to cope with feelings of worry or stress, while overweight kids were more likely to cite eating and napping as coping strategies.
This occurs in the context of pretty stressed-out families, with 32% of parents reporting "extreme" stress and underestimating the effect that their worries have on their kids, the survey says.

Major reconstruction of historic station for interline transfer, including 300-foot platform extension, ADA upgrade, new entrance, elevators, utilities relocation, underpinning. 24,000 sf.
Weidlinger Associates, in joint venture with Lee Harris Pomeroy Architects, designed a major expansion of the Bleecker Street subway station. The IRT station currently provides only southbound transfer to the IND line. The uptown platform is being extended 300 feet, and a stairwell and elevators added to link the extension to the IND platforms below. New ADA-approved elevators will provide street access to both lines at Crosby and Houston Streets, and four internal elevators will provide transfer between the lines. A separate street entrance will be added on Mulberry Street. This is one of 485 stations that still have unidirectional transfer. (Passengers transferring in the other direction must exit and re-enter across the street.)
Reconstruction of the station, which has historic terra cotta finishes and a landmarked subway plaque, includes repairs to all systems, reconstruction of control areas, and relocation of major buried utilities. Extension of the IRT uptown platform involves replacing the tunnel wall; constructing a new platform, roof, and tunnel duct manhole; and re-supporting the IRT roof on the new platform roof. Excavation is necessary along an existing IRT tunnel box structure adjacent to an existing six-story building, garage, and giant billboard, which have foundations that must be deepened and stabilized. False walls will be erected to hide tunnel work from passengers. Construction should not interfere with train or utilities service.

It is called a jobs bill, but it is really a snow job. What the Senate passed Monday may have been a victory for bipartisanship, but it was a slap in the face of the 25 million Americans who need jobs.
The Senate voted yesterday in favor of a $15 billion bill whose main feature is a tax break for companies that hire unemployed workers this year. What's wrong with that?
1) It's easy to game the system. Even in this depression, hundreds of thousands of workers are hired every month, while a similar number are laid off or quit. Most of the money will be a free gift to companies which would have hired workers any way.
2) It's lousy economics. Families have stagnant or declining income and are still unwinding excessive debt. If Joe's diner is able to expand successfully and hire workers, then Fred's diner will shrink and lay off workers, because there is no net increase in people dining out.
3) It's chicken feed. To have a real impact on the economy, the government should be spending between $400 billion and $1 trillion this year to make up for the collapse in private spending and investment. According to the New York Times, the sponsors say the bill will create "tens of thousands of new jobs." That's fewer than the jobs needed each month just to keep up with the growth in the labor force.
The bill was advanced when Republican obstruction blocked consideration of real action on jobs. Even this bill -- a package of business tax cuts with "jobs bill" wrapping paper -- received only five votes from Republicans, who want even more business tax breaks.
It appears that Democratic strategy is to bring up a series of smaller bills instead of one large package.
The Hill quoted Maryland Democrat Ben Cardin saying "This is not the end of our debate on creating jobs through legislation this year, it's the beginning of that debate." Good luck to them, but they better move fast.
Notices have already gone out to 1.2 million people will lose their unemployment benefits on March 1, the first of five million who will be denied before summer. And in every state capitol, legislators are planning deep layoffs and cuts in essential services to deal with the end of stimulus funding at the end of the year. These are real emergencies affecting literally millions of people.
The Coalition on Human Needs has called for people to flood the Senate with phone calls. "Tell them: Act NOW to pass a full-year extension of unemployment benefits... and more aid to states for Medicaid, education, and other vital services and jobs." Call 1-888-460-0813 and ask for your Senator's office.

A great spot to unwind and enjoy a pleasant evening meal on a beachside location, within the Le Meridien Limassol Hotel & Spa. The food is in fact good, but nothing unexpected or original.
Good Food - friendly staff - good value meal.
What shall we see in 2016 as the Hotel is closing for 16 months??
It always had a great cypriot food! Best Kleftiko, Souvla, mixed grill and many other Cypriot specialities! Yes hotel is going to close for renovation for 1 and half year so you have till end of October to visit it! Also they have fresh fish which is very very good and other seafood specialities but my favorite is meat dishes...
A great greek restaurant and grill with water views. The staff were friendly and attentive and went out of their way to make us feel welcome. Great food and generous portions.
Thank goodness that the Hotel is closing for a major refurbishment in November this year. Hope that when they re-open in 2016, they will have better Restaurants & Staff to run them. Never eat in any of the Restaurants as the Staff are too 'busy' to make you feel welcome.
Served the authentic Greek food that we had been waiting for. Greek dancing in the open air. Fantastic night!
Great taverna atmosphere, very friendly staff and great food. We ate twice and on both occasions had a fantastic evening with so much good food and drink.
My friends and I have visited the restaurant Le Vieux Village at the Le Meridien Limassol for dinner and we had an amazing time. The service was great, and the waiters were very friendly and very helpful. The food was by far the best food that I have ever tried and I would like to congratulate the Chef! The service,...
I went here with some English Cypriots, and the service was an absolute joke and the size of portions are so small we all were still hungry after leaving. This was the worse restaurant in the whole of Cyprus I had been too, I will never attend again to even give them another chance it was that bad. The only...
We were staying at another hotel and tried to eat here twice in the weekending 4 Oct, as the reviews were so good. Unfortunately on both occasions it was closed, so we ended up having to walk to another hotel.
Be sure to call ahead to check it is open.

XenoPort obtained commitments from institutional investors to purchase approximately $40 million of its common stock and warrants in a registered direct offering. The net proceeds are expected to be approximately $39.7 million after offering expenses.
In the last couple of months, XenoPort has had two major setbacks, sending its stock down about 37%. Earlier this month, Xenoport's acid reflux drug failed to meet its primary endpoints in a mid-stage trial.
In November, GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), the U.S. partner for Xenoport's lead candidate, an RLS drug, decided to withdraw the NDA. GSK now says that it will likely resubmit the NDA in January 2009. If the therapy does not win approval, XenoPort stands to lose $23 million in milestone fees.
Hence, today's financing comes at an important time for the company, which has multiple clinical programs covering pain, GERD, spasticity, and Parkinson's. XenoPort will sell 1,889,467 newly issued shares of its common stock and warrants to purchase 283,420 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $21.17 per unit.
Each unit consists of one share of common stock and one warrant to purchase 0.15 of a share of common stock. The warrants are immediately exercisable at $25.40 per share and will expire five years from the date of issuance.
The financing was led by funds affiliated with Maverick Capital with participation by funds affiliated with Venrock. This transaction is expected to close on or prior to January 5, 2009.

3 Ways To Honor Lost Loved Ones At Your Wedding
Weddings are a time to honor the people who matter most. Sadly, sometimes one or more of those people have departed, but that doesn't mean they can't still be part of your wedding celebration.
I was very close with my grandparents on both sides, but lost three of them when I was young. At my wedding, I wanted to remember them fondly—to celebrate them as much as possible. I know they would have been so proud. I also wanted to honor my remaining grandparent—the last of her generation in our family. It was a very emotional day for her since it brought back so many memories of her own wedding and of her 52-year-long happy marriage. But she was so pleased that my grandfather could be there in spirit and that the whole banquet hall full of guests honored him on that special day. Here are some ideas for honoring departed loved ones at your wedding:
1. Save A Seat For Them
Setting a place for lost loved ones is an ancient tradition. It's more than a memorial—it's a way of incorporating the person into a daily routine. At a wedding, a remembrance seat at the ceremony or an extra place setting at the reception represents your love and your respect. It gives your family a place to look, to focus their memories. It also gives you a place to set up memorial photographs. Pick happy photographs: images that embody the spirit of your loved ones. At my wedding, I chose photographs of my grandparents laughing with me as a baby. It was hard not to get choked up looking at them.
2. Include A Reading To Express Your Love
Readings are a great opportunity to express your feelings about your absent family and friends. Choose readings that remind you of the person or that illustrate something personal and special about your relationship with them. I read The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein to honor my grandfather who always cared so much more about my happiness than his own. It also honored his eco-friendly spirit—he was a longtime conservationist and nature lover (that's probably where I got it from.)
3. Emblematic Objects
One of the great things about living in such a materialistic culture is that we all leave objects behind. I have a whole box full of keepsakes from each of my grandparents that I used to create a little memorial display near my gift table. I organized the objects around a photograph of each relative so my guests would understand what it all meant. Having the physical materials right there made it feel more like my loved ones were watching over me. A lot of brides attach lockets to their wedding bouquets as well with pictures of the departed so they can literally walk down the aisle with them. Both ideas are great ways to bring the spirit of those you have loved and lost to your big day.

ALFRED, Maine (AP) — Maine State Police say the driver of a York County Sheriff's Department van that was hit by a tractor-trailer had a suspended license.
State Police spokesman Steve McCausland says Roger Lanoie of Shapleigh was cited for operating after suspension on Tuesday. His license was suspended for failing to pay a civil fine for a seat belt violation.
York County Maj. Thomas Baran said Lanoie wasn't aware of the suspension, and that officers are working to clear up the mistake.
McCausland said the tractor-trailer driver, 49-year-old Edward Reilly, of Rochester, N.H., was cited for failure to maintain control of his vehicle, which hit the van parked on a shoulder. Lanoie was making a phone call. He and his passenger were both hurt, but their injuries were not life-threatening.

Austin - The Texas A&M-Corpus Christi softball team lost a pair of one-run games against the #22 Texas Longhorns on Thursday afternoon, falling by a 6-5 score in game one and dropping a 4-3 decision in eight innings in the nightcap.
The Islanders fall to 14-27 on the season while the Longhorns improve to 29-11 on the year. Addie Tallman started game one for Islanders, going the whole way in the circle to take the loss and fall to 11-11 on the season. Margo Hurdt started game two for the Islanders, going the farthest she has all year as she threw every pitch for the Islanders while falling to 0-2 with the loss.
"We're playing good enough to be really good right now," said head coach Jake Schumann. "We just don't have the killer instinct we need right now.
"Physically we have the ability; we just aren't there mentally where we need to be to win most of these close games."
In the first game, the Islanders quickly jumped out in front, scoring four runs in the top of the first inning to take a quick 4-0 lead. Cassie Redman led the inning off with a walk and was followed by Larissa Martin grounding to third base, as the fielder threw to second to try to get the lead runner, the ball sailed past the player and went into centerfield, allowing Redman to reach third base while Martin reached on the fielder's choice and advanced to second on the error.
Stephanie Estrada followed with a single through the left side to plate Redman and put the Islanders on the board first at 1-0. Alaina Byars came to plate and hit the first pitch she saw to right centerfield to plate Martin and advanced Estrada to third, making it 2-0 Islanders. Hurdt came up and reached on a fielder's choice as Estrada scored and Byars was thrown out at second base for the first out. After Kim Connelly reached on a fielder's choice while Hurdt was put out at second base, Andrea Simancas came to plate and drove a 1-0 pitch to left field, allowing Connelly to advance to third. Sandy Schumann pushed across the final run of the inning when she singled to the shortstop to bring in Connelly, making it 4-0.
The Longhorns answered with a pair of runs in the bottom half of the inning to make it 4-2. Desiree Williams reached on a single to lead off the inning and Amy Hooks reached after getting hit with a pitch to put runners on first and second. Nadia Taylor followed with a double to right centerfield allowing both runners to score. The Longhorns added another run in the bottom of the third inning on an RBI-single by Courtney Craig to make it 4-3 Islanders.
The Islanders added a single run in the top of the fifth inning when Estrada lifted a 3-2 pitch over the fence in left field to put the Islanders ahead by two runs at 5-3.
The Longhorns answered back in the bottom half of the fifth inning with a pair of runs to knot the score at 5-5. The game remained tied until the bottom of the seventh inning, when Brittany Barnhill hit a 1-0 pitch over the left centerfield wall to give the Longhorns the victory at 6-5.
Leading the Islanders offensively in the first game were Martin, Estrada and Simancas, with each collecting a pair of hits. Byars and Schumann added one hit apiece for TAMUCC. Estrada led the Islanders with two RBI in the game while Byars, Hurdt and Schumann added one each. Tallman went the distance for the Islanders, pitching into the seventh inning, giving up six runs, five of them earned, on 14 hits and one walk while striking out two Longhorn batters.
In game two, the Islanders fell behind after the first inning, allowing a single run in the bottom half to go down 1-0. TAMUCC would answer back in the top half of the third inning with a single run to tie the game at 1-1. Simancas led off the inning with a walk and advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt by Schumann. Redman then reached on a throwing error by the second baseman, allowing Simancas to score all the way from second base before Redman was thrown out trying to advance to second base to end the inning.
TAMUCC took its first lead of the game in the top of the fifth inning at 2-1. Connelly led off the inning by reaching on an error by the third baseman, followed by a Simancas single through the left side to put runners on first and second. Schumann put down a sacrifice bunt to advance the runners to second and third. Moore came to the plate and hit into a fielder's choice, reaching base as the Longhorns were able to throw Connelly out at the plate to keep the game tied while Simancas moved over to third. Redman came to the plate and hit the ball to the third baseman, forcing her into a second error on the inning that allowed Simancas to cross the plate to put the Islanders up 2-1.
After Texas answered with a run in the bottom of the sixth to tie the score at 2-2, the Islanders came back with one of their own in the top half of the seventh to reclaim the lead at 3-2. Simancas led off the inning with a single to second base but was cut down at second when Schumann followed by hitting into a fielder's choice. Redman advanced Schumann over to second by singling to the shortstop. Martin followed with a single to left field, bringing in Schumann from second base to break the tie.
The Longhorns came back with a single run of their own in the bottom half of the inning to knot the score at 3-3. The Islanders were unable to bring the runner home from second base in the eighth inning, advance Estrada to third after she was placed on second to begin the inning. In the bottom half of the eighth inning, the Longhorns were able to bring in a run on a single to centerfield with one out and a runner on third base to put the final at 4-3.
"We come into these games and we are play well," said head coach Jake Schumann. "We know it will be a close game, when we have the lead we just have to do whatever we can to get those final three outs."
Offensively for the Islanders, Simancas was the only player with more than one hit as she went 2-for-3 with two runs scored. Redman, Martin, Estrada and Byars added one hit apiece as the Islanders collected six hits total in the game. Martin had the only RBI for TAMUCC in game two. Hurdt went the distance for the Islanders, pitching 7.1 innings, giving up four runs, just two of them earned, on 12 hits and five walks while striking out three Longhorn batters.
The Islanders now return home to face off against the McNeese State Cowgirls in a Southland Conference series at Chapman Field on Saturday and Sunday. First pitch for game one on Saturday is set for 1:00 PM and first pitch for the single game on Sunday is also set for 1:00 PM.

CHARLESTON - They say the third time might be a charm, but for the time being Parkersburg South is beside itself after shooting lights out in the first half of Thursday's Class AAA quarterfinal game.
For the second year in a row, the sixth-seeded Patriots lost their opener at the state basketball tournament following a 54-49 loss to third-seeded Hedgesville.
South (19-7), which shot 93 percent from the floor while building a 32-25 halftime lead against Hedgesville, will return three starters and several key reserves in hopes of returning to the Elite Eight next year and getting over the hump of winning at least one game in Charleston.

Parkersburg South's Cody Boggs, center, is fouled by Hedgesville's C.J. Burks, left, and Daniel Delaware after grabbing an offensive rebound Thursday during South's 54-49 loss to Hedgesville in the quarterfinal round of the West Virginia Class AAA state tournament.
"We thought we had a chance to win this game," South coach Mike Fallon said. "All we heard was how we were going to get pounded, but I'm so proud of my kids.
"We missed one shot in the first half, and that doesn't happen too often. In the first three minutes of the second half Hedgesville played well and we kind of sputtered. Then we didn't make the plays we needed to down the stretch."
J.R. Kerr and Garrett Gilkeson led the Patriots in scoring with 10 points apiece. All of Kerr's point production occurred in the first half, while Gilkeson played a pivotal role off the bench and pulled down a game-high eight rebounds.
Doing the most damage for Hedgesville was C.J. Burks, who played as a sophomore on the Eagles' state championship team two years ago. Against South, Burks poured in a game-high 25 points and hauled in six rebounds despite turning his ankle and leaving the game for a period of time in the second quarter.
Point guard Daniel Delaware contributed 11 points and six steals.
"The Burks kid is a player," Fallon said. "Him and Jon Elmore (of George Washington) may be the best two players we have seen all year."
The game appeared headed for a track meet as both teams connected on just about everything they threw up in the first quarter. South made its first five shots from the floor and finished the period 9-of-10 (90 percent) while taking a 22-21 advantage into the second quarter.
Hedgesville nearly equaled South while converting 7-of-10 (70 percent) field goals in the first quarter.
"During warmups as we were watching South, they wouldn't miss," Hedgesville coach Kelly Church said. "They shot tremendously in the first quarter and we didn't feel they could keep it up the whole game. There's no way.
"It wasn't that we didn't guard them. We didn't guard them well enough."
Following Kerr's second 3-pointer of the first half which gave South a 25-21 lead, Burks came up hobbling after trying to run the fast break for the Eagles. Three minutes later, Burks would return to the floor.
The scoring pace slowed down in the second quarter, but South was able to increase the gap to 32-25 by halftime.
"My assistant coach joked that we should be up by 20 with how well we were shooting," Fallon said. "We looked at the shot chart. In the first half, we were taking that thing inside and posting their guards up. And we didn't that as much in the second half."
The tables turned on South at the start of the second half as Hedgesville scored the first nine points to put the Eagles back ahead at 34-32.
Hedgesville maintained a 37-36 edge entering the final quarter then established its largest lead of the game at 40-36 on a 3-pointer from Burks.
The deficit remained four at 42-38 when South's Cody Monroe began to take control with two straight buckets and a pair of free throws as part of a 6-0 run. With 3 minutes left in regulation, Monroe turned a steal into a layup and a 48-45 lead.
That would mark the last field goal from the South contingent as Hedgesville picked apart the lead and built one of its own by making 10-of-20 free throws in the final quarter.
"Eventually we are going to get through first round - we are going to make some noise," Fallon said. "We have a lot of kids coming back next year, and that's our biggest goal which is coming back even stronger."

Everyone knows that if you want the real answer, you follow the money. Now, a former lieutenant governor, best known as the man who saved New York City in the 1970s when there was no more money left to follow, has proposed a more subtle approach to explain what needs to happen if local governments and school districts in New York state are going to survive.
Don't follow the money, Richard Ravitch advises, follow the people who follow the money. Until those people, the bankers and others who control the flow of money that New York and its component governments rely on, get nervous and demand changes not much is going to happen.
That helps explain how the governor and legislators could pass a budget that does so little to address long-standing and worsening concerns. While the budget was balanced and gave schools a bit more than they received the year before, there was no help for municipalities who have been saying for the past few years that without relief from pension obligations and other burdens that they do not control, they will soon be unable to pay their bills.
In fact, there's a good case to be made that Gov. Cuomo and legislators have made things worse for governments while perpetuating the illusion that they are making things better. By allowing those local governments to effectively borrow the money they need to pay their pension obligations, the state has encouraged the kind of irresponsible money management that financial advisers know is poisonous.
Cuomo and the legislative leaders do not have the courage to make the tough decisions, so they are happy to offer solutions that everyone knows merely delay the day of reckoning and ensure that when it comes it will be a disaster.
In California, the city of Stockton has declared bankruptcy and is engaged in a messy court fight to determine who will get paid. Banks and others who hold the city's debt are pitted against the retirees who hope to prevail so that their pensions do not disappear.
And all that happens while the city operates with a minimum of municipal services, which is a serious problem in Stockton, where the crime rate has always been high.
Trapped by all of this are the people who live in what once was the hottest housing market in the nation and now is the national capital for foreclosures.
When bankers and other money people look ahead and conclude that this could happen soon in New York, they will start to put pressure on Cuomo and Albany to step in and provide the kind of relief that mayors, county executives and school superintendents have been requesting in vain for a few years now.
Numbers from some of New York's troubled cities show that it will not be long before we have a Stockton in our borders. As The Associated Press reported over the weekend, "Dozens of municipalities from Long Island to Niagara Falls are on the road to insolvency."
Before they get there, it would help if the bankers would tell the governor and legislative leaders that it's time to do something.

Definition of carbonate in English:
A salt of the anion CO32-, typically formed by reaction of carbon dioxide with bases.
Example sentences
- The reaction with carbonates gives the nitrate salt, water, and carbon dioxide.
- In natural water systems, many common minerals are formed by anion substitution-precipitation reactions, among them carbonates, phosphates, and the sulfate-containing rocks.
- Pore waters also sensitively record the occurrence of other reactions, such as the dissolution, precipitation, and recrystallization of phosphates, carbonates, and sulphides, during early diagenesis.
verb[with object]
1Dissolve carbon dioxide in (a liquid).
Example sentences
- Some bottled water is carbonated and is called sparkling water.
- On the other hand, carbonated soda water probably doesn't have anything that should be a problem for a bodybuilder.
- He's a particular fan of San Pellegrino, the naturally carbonated water from northern Italy.
1.1 Chemistry Convert into a carbonate, typically by reaction with carbon dioxide.
Example sentences
- That allows atmospheric carbon dioxide to infiltrate the weak paste and deeply carbonate the calcium hydroxide and other cement hydrates present.
- The reaction is very slow: the surface will become carbonated within a few days.
- Where the lime has become carbonated, there may be no immediately obvious change in appearance.
- Example sentences
- These beverages contain caffeine, alcohol and carbonation, which cause excess urine production or decreased voluntary fluid intake.
- People with incontinence should also avoid too many drinks containing alcohol, caffeine or carbonation, and they should limit their liquid intake to two liters of fluid daily.
- Cool beverages like juice can be soothing; avoid carbonated or citrus drinks, however, because carbonation and citric acid can be painful on raw areas.

▪ wBW Reviews Home
▪ Owner Comments (Below)
▪ wBW Motorcycle Intercom Reviews
How do you connect that MP3 player, radio or other device to your motorcycle intercom system?
A Bluetooth adapter/transmitter is the way to go.
An indispensible device for today's connected motorcyclist but, for some reason, still not widely known, understood or utilized.
All three of these handy-dandy little gems do what they should (and for the most part as advertised) while providing outstanding battery life and the ability to be used while charging.
The Azeca and Bluesense Bluetooth adapters are identical in form, fit and function, less finish, colour and markings, while the TAOtronics Bluetooth adapter has a unique elongated rectangular shape and markings.
All three utilize Bluetooth v2.1 with Class 2 power with support for the A2DP profile for stereo audio streaming to compatible headsets.
All three paired successfully with every Bluetooth receiver device put in front of them, with the TAOtronics device being the speediest; it usually paired up within five to ten seconds whereas the other two took 30 to 40 seconds on average.
Value is what most Bluetooth Adapters provide with a continuing return on investment if the use of non-Bluetooth media devices is the norm.
Mount them with or close to the device, keep them charged up, reset them now and then to clean out the pairing memory and enjoy the audio streaming, what could be simpler than this?
So despite all three being equally functional and worth the investment, I prefer the performance of the TAOtronics TT-BA01. It pairs faster, audio output is better, battery life is slightly better than the other two and its kit includes an AC/DC adapter as a charging option.
The Bluetooth Dongle or Adapter or transmitter, commonly referred to as a "BTA", has (thankfully) been around since (almost) the earliest days of consumer Bluetooth availability. And trust me, their day isn't over yet; for many of us, they remain an indispensable accessory.
A Bluetooth adapter or transmitter has clear advantages: the cost is minimal, but the value is great; that being the ability to take a legacy or non-Bluetooth equipped device and move it into the wireless audio streaming realm.
Got an older audio media or multimedia device? Connect it to a Bluetooth adapter -- typically through a 3.5 mm stereo output jack -- then pair it with a compatible intercom headset or Bluetooth speaker set and just like that, you'll have a wireless connection for streaming stereo audio.
There is still one shortfall though -- portable Bluetooth adapters cannot implement the Audio/Video Remote Control Profile or AVRCP services to a connected non-Bluetooth media player. AVRCP provides the forward/back and next track functionality for your audio device. So even though both the Bluetooth headset and the Bluetooth adapter may be AVRCP compatible, the wireless commands cannot be passed to or interpreted by the media device.
AVRCP is (typically) implemented with the Headset or Hands-free Profiles (HSP/HFP) as they conveniently provide necessary command and control instructions needed to execute the AVRCP features. Many Bluetooth adapters do not support anything other than A2DP.
So in this situation, the limitation is physical rather than wireless and that wired 3.5 mm connection from the media device to the Bluetooth adapter is "dumb", providing one-way audio output from the device to the BTA, but that is it.
This is also the reason why media devices connected directly to a Bluetooth personal or helmet headset system cannot be controlled by AVRCP instructions from the user via the headset.
There is no shortage of portable Bluetooth-enabling devices on the market. This review is focused on the Bluetooth adapter, also known as a Bluetooth transmiiter.
The three Bluetooth adapters presented below are available in unlimited variety at widely varying pricing from a seemingly unlimited number of vendors. All three of these devices fall into the generic mold for Bluetooth Adapters: small, extremely portable and utterly simple to use.
Two of them, the Azeca and GOgroove Bluesense TRM are identical, differentiated only by finish, colour and branding. webBikeWorld has published a fair number of Bluetooth adapter reviews in the past, individually or in conjunction with motorcycle intercom and communications system evaluations. These Bluetooth adapters are very simple devices with very similar functions, I've covered form, fit and function briefly in the following sections with a feature and performance comparison at the end.
Azeca is headquartered in Suwanee, Georgia U.S.A. and offer medical devices, phones, computers and TVs with a heavy emphasis on Bluetooth-based products as reflected on their main website.
This adapter kit comes packed with the rectangular 45 x 33 x 8 mm (1.77 x 1.29 x 0.3 in.) Bluetooth adapter, a USB-to-mini coaxial charging cable measuring 123 cm (48.42 in.) long, a plastic bag with two small Velcro squares for mounting the adapter, a short but well-written Owner's Manual and Warranty Registration Card. No AC/DC charger is provided.
The Azeca adapter has a 9 cm (3.5 in.) stereo lead terminating in a 3.5 mm stereo plug for connecting a non-Bluetooth device and a small LED provides status information. A small main function button (MFB) and co-axial jack port occupy the bottom edge.
Bluetooth v2.1 powered, the Azeca adapter supports the A2DP or Advanced Audio Distribution Profile for wireless stereo audio streaming. It features Class II power for a nominal 10 meter (33 ft.) range. The device is claimed to have a ten hour play time and it can be used while being charged using the supplied charging cable.
[UPDATE (April 2013) - Azeca sent us an email to let everyone know that they now have a Bluetooth transceiver that can both send and receive. It is called the Bluetooth Stereo Streamer (info) that transmits and receives stereo (A2DP).]
Initial charging of the Azeca, using one of the many AC/DC USB-port chargers I have on hand took 2.5 hours. The LED indicator glows red during charging and shuts off once the device is fully charged; a low power state indicated by the indicator flashing red twice every 30 seconds.
The normal convention for use applies; with the Azeca BTA turned off, put the Bluetooth receiver (headset) into the appropriate pairing mode, then hold the MFB on the Azeca for six to nine seconds initiating its pairing mode that is indicated by an initial single blue LED flash, then the usual red/blue flashing pattern. If needed, and if the Bluetooth receiver device provides an input capability, the accepted PIN codes of 0000, 1111, 1234 or 8888 can be used.
Once paired, the LED on the Azeca will flash twice every four seconds followed by the appropriate paired LED sequence and/or voice announcement from the headset. With the BTA and Bluetooth receiving device paired, plug the 3.5 mm connector into your MP3 or other audio device and start a track; stereo audio begins streaming to the headset through the BTA almost immediately.
Note: The Azeca Bluetooth adapter does not support Audio/Video Remote Control Profile or AVRCP; those features will not be available via the headset. Holding the MFB for two to three seconds initiates shutdown, with the red LED flashing once before the device turns off.
Accessory Power is a multi-brand multi-product company with offices in Los Angeles, Shenzen (China) and Hong Kong for design, manufacturing and distribution coordination globally.
The Bluesense TRM is marketed under the GOgroove label (speakers, docks, headphones, earbuds, FM Transmitters, etc.). The kit is very basic; the Bluetooth module, a USB charging cord identical to the one provided with the Azeca kit and a small pocket-sized User Guide containing far less information than the more complete Azeca Owner's Manual. No AC/DC adapter is provided.
This Bluetooth Adapter is a clone of the Azeca module in both its form and specifications. The only visual differences are a smoother satin sheen (teal) finish on the Bluesense; the charging port, which is marked as "5V DC" vs. "Input" and it has different brand markings, of course.
Setup, function and performance are all essentially identical to that of the Azeca, although the User Guide provides a few differing recommendations regarding device pairing, etc. As with the Azeca Bluetooth adapter, the Bluesense TRM goes into pairing mode automatically if it hasn't been previously paired with anything else or doesn't detect a previously paired device.
Taotronics is another international multi-brand electronics distributor with an address in San Jose, California. Their product listing includes auto electronics, cellphones including Bluetooth devices, computers, home entertainment, home and office products, portable audio and sporting goods.
Inside the environmentally-friendly green cardboard box was the rectangular 60 x 25 x 9 mm (2.3 x 0.9 x 0.35 in.) Bluetooth adapter module (slightly smaller than a disposable cigarette lighter), an AC/DC USB-based adapter, a 120 cm (47.2 in.) long) USB charging cable and a simple instruction manual.
A smooth but tactile black matte finish adds some discrete class. The surface has a shiny (chrome-like) power button and coloured logo, with the left end sporting the 10 cm (3.9 in.) long 3.5 mm connection lead and a micro-USB charging port.
It features Bluetooth v2.1 (not v2.0 as identified on the box) implementation and nominal range of 10 meters (Class 2 power) and A2DP support matches it up with the other two adapters discussed above.
But what is supposed to set this BTA apart doesn't, as expected. The product is clearly identified as supporting both A2DP and AVRCP, but while the adapter may actually be capable of "supporting" AVRCP instructions received from the headset, it cannot execute the necessary control over the connected media device, for the reasons discussed earlier in my Introduction section.
This claim is one seen on many other Bluetooth adapters, including other branded variants of this device, and while it is likely made based on design or marketing objectives, it can be very misleading to consumers.
Something that does work really well with the TT-BA01 is audio output; I don't know if it has a booster circuit of sorts, but with the media device and headset at the same settings as for the other two adapters there is a clear (positive) difference in output compared to the other two Bluetooth adapters in this review.
All three of these Bluetooth adapters or transmitters feature 3.5 mm stereo connection leads. Each utilizes Bluetooth v2.1 with A2DP for stereo audio streaming from a wired media player to the adapter and out to a compatible paired Bluetooth headset.
The Azeca and Bluesense devices came from the same clone mold so there isn't much to distinguish them...less the odd variance in LED sequences for power On/Off and Pairing. Without sounding repetitious, all three have virtually identical features and performance, although the TAOtronics Bluetooth adapter claims support for AVRCP whereas the other two do not. It also has the best audio output of all three.
Battery life of these devices is very good; eight to ten hours is clearly achievable from a full charge, with the option to use all three devices while they are also connected via their USB cables for charging, making the power issue moot at times. Again, the TAOtronics battery seems to be the best, although its listed run time is less than the other two…
A Bluetooth adapters is an indispensable tool that can "convert" a non-Bluetooth media player to allow wireless audio streaming to a motorcycle intercom system. This is important in today's "Bluetooth-rich" user environment, particularly when it comes to getting the audio sent into our favourite wireless Bluetooth headset.
Recognizing that several Bluetooth motorcycle helmet intercom systems now feature a 2.5 or 3.5 mm input port which allows a wired connection can be made to a device, the Bluetooth adapter option is still valid -- and wireless.
But then again, most motorcycle intercom system do not provide an external audio connection, often due to small form factor limitations and cost considerations.
The bottom line? As long as the consumer requirement exists, the Bluetooth adapter/transmitter market will remain healthy, providing the cost-effective solutions that can be found with any one of these three adapters.
From "G.M." (July 2013): "I purchased the TAOTronics Model TT-BA01 based on the review. My intent was to use the dongle to connect the mini-jack output of my Garmin ZUMO (non-Bluetooth) to my Sena SMH-10 that I also purchased due to the great review on wBW.
My iPhone pairs easily with the SMH-10, and I wanted to also pair the ZUMO so I would get directions imposed over the music I play from the iPhone, in accordance with some mystical priority system built into Bluetooth devices and the SENA.
Last weekend I attempted to pair the TAOTronics Model TT-BA01. The iPhone was already paired. Long story short, if I pair the TAOTronics dongle with the iPhone, the SENA gets disconnected. If I pair the SENA again, the TAOTronics dongle gets disconnected.
I emailed SENA Support (great company) and they replied that both the TAOTronics dongle and the iPhone use the same single connection format/profile on the SENA. The SENA has two HFP profiles (inputs?) and one A2DP stereo profile. Both the dongle and the iPhone are trying to use a one lane road, and it's a one or the other prospect.
SENA recommended their own special dongle, (the Sena SR10 Bluetooth hub (review) for $179.00 vs. $29 for the TAOTronics dongle. Looks like I'll have to send the TAOTronics dongle back and I am not likely to drop $179 on the SENA dongle, I have too much Scottish blood to do that.
I think readers need to know about these compatibility issues. There may be others out there trying to pair to the great SENA unit, not knowing that the line is already busy and party lines are not available, nor is a conference call.
One criticism of SENA, their pairing directions tell you to pair gizmos
according to one of three different profiles (Stereo Headset, Hands-free,
Headset) with not one word in the instructions about HOW to pair according to one profile vs the other. I contacted their Support to ask how to connect via one profile or the other. They did not explain how to do it, they just said "you're stuck, both gizmos [iPhone and dongle] are using the same profile" (my words, not theirs).
Perhaps had I understood all the ABC's and XYZ's of all the acronyms related to Bluetooth-ing I would have avoided this dry haul on the road to Bluetooth pairing Nirvana. Darn.
Editor's Reply: This issue is one of the least understood and probably most disappointing for Bluetooth intercom users. It has been reported several times by webBikeWorld readers.
Apparently the channel or profile or connection is shared on some devices so they interfere with each other. It's more of an issue with the over-stretched Bluetooth technology than anything. The Bluetooth adapter/transmitters in this review are very simple, meant to connect one device to one other device with "priority". They don't have enough intelligence to disconnect and re-connect when something with higher priority muscles its way in.
Basically I think the Bluetooth intercom technology has been stretched to the limit and beyond anything originally intended. And one more thing -- invariably, when there is a Bluetooth connection problem, there seems to be a Garmin device mixed in the works.
Also, there are so many different devices that users want to connect today and there's just no way to know how it will all work ahead of time. But, many readers have also reported excellent results using the Sena SR10 hub to connect multiple devices.

Performance of mutual funds is keenly followed by both investors and fund managers alike. Investors seek this information to make investment decisions, while a fund manager's compensation is usually tied to it. While returns of a fund in isolation gives little insight, comparison to alternate investments is more meaningful. Hence, selection of a benchmark assumes importance.
Risk-adjusted performance measures instead of absolute returns are more useful to the investors. Some investors are more comfortable with lower returns if there is lower risk associated with it.

Product Reviews
Average Rating: 3.8 in 6 reviews
Rules are simple to learn, but difficult to master. The bidding element adds an entirely new dimension to this game and keeps it from being your run-of-the-mill card game.
While the game doesn't really have to do with the circus, the bright and cheery artwork uniquely captures the dreamy surrealistic feeling that everyone must've had when they visited the circus as a child.
Keep up the good work, Kevin and Ray!
Last weekend several Mom's got together b/c we needed time away from our families. It was the first time for most of us to play. It's simple with easy rules but what was most enjoyable was coming up with strategies to score points. We played for hours. At the end of the evening we decided to organize a monthly 'BIG TOP' ladies nite out. We all highly recommend it!
I have had the pleasure of playing this game with my family over the holidays, and What A Blast! It's fun for the adults and the kids love the circus theme. For the circus buffs, each card has interesting factoids about the circus. Rules are very simple and easy to understand but the strategies are endless. Definetely a game you will want to play more than once.

EEAS Building, 9A Rond Point Schuman - 1000 Brussels
Investors' conferences in Moldova and Georgia will be held on the occasion of the visits of European Commission President José Manuel Barroso to those countries on 12 and 13 June 2014 respectively. The European Union has confirmed its objective to further strengthen the political association and economic integration with both countries, and aims to sign the Association Agreements including Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Areas (AA/DCFTAs) at the end of June 2014.
The conferences will focus on business activity and investment in Moldova and Georgia, because experience in other countries in Europe shows that that's where the new agreements will bring the biggest long-term economic benefits.
One of the main benefits of the conferences to investors in Moldova and Georgia will be its discussion of what the AA/DCFTAs will mean in practical terms for their businesses. The conferences will also provide opportunities for businesses to showcase themselves and to promote their products and services. International financial institutions and business support organisations will also provide participants with information about their activities in Moldova and Georgia.

"The key problem is this: American support to the Peace Process requires American public support to Israel. American public support to Israel infers defense commitments directed against Arab states (and Iran). Defense commitments directed against Arab states inherently undermine the construction of a new relationship with the Arab world."
This, in the simplest of terms, defines President Obama's dilemma in facing up to the problems of the Middle East. It comes from the blog of an American who seems to know well the differences between Shias and Sunnis. I have found reading him enlightening often, infuriating frequently. You can read the whole of this and other of his blogs relevant to the US and the Middle East at this website:

Technical Abstract: Whether genotype influences testis gene expression in temperate Bos taurus (Angus; A; n=10), tropical Bos taurus (Romosinuano; R; n=10), and tropical Bos indicus (Brahman; B; n=8) bulls was evaluated. Bulls were slaughtered 69 to 111 d after attaining sexual maturity. Testicular tissues were collected for mRNA analyses at slaughter. Tissues were snap frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80C until total RNA was extracted. Testicular expression of mRNA for growth hormone receptor exon 1A (GHR1A), GHR exon 1B (GHR1B), IGF-I, FSH receptor (FSHR) and LH receptor (LHR) was determined via ribonuclease protection assays and quantified via integrated optical density units (IOD). There was no difference among breeds (P > 0.10) in GHR1B or LHR; however, testicular GHR1A differed between A and R (P < 0.001) with A bulls having increased expression (0.02 IOD) as compared to R bulls (0.005 IOD). Brahman bulls were not used in this analysis as the GHR1A was specific to Bos taurus cattle. There tended (P < 0.10) to be a difference in testicular expression of IGF-I mRNA with A bulls having increased expression as compared to B and R bulls (0.045, 0.004, and 0.005 IOD for A, B, and R, respectively). There was a difference (P < 0.02) in FSHR expression with A bulls having greater expression than B or R bulls (0.032, 0.004, and 0.006 IOD for A, B, and R, respectively). No difference was detected between B and R bulls for any of the traits measured. The results of this study indicate that sexually mature, tropically adapted Bos taurus bulls may be more similar to sexually mature, tropically adapted Bos indicus bulls than to sexually mature, temperate Bos taurus bulls in terms of testicular mRNA expression of GHR1A, IGF-I, and FSHR.

Photo and caption by Nicholai Go
Right after our high school prom, my friends and I decided to run around the neighborhood with just our boxers to celebrate. We were celebrating our freedom and the end of a great night and finally, high school. I decided to capture this momentous moment and rode my long board behind them and took photos. Right after this photo was taken, we were caught by the police and escorted back to my house.

Dear All
We are reviewing our examination and training administration procedures in order to reduce the amount of time spent obtaining payment. This will help the whole process of setting up exam centres, allocating candidates, issuing exam papers and ultimately releasing results.
The methods of paying for examinations and training are:
By cheque or credit card accompanying the application form, or
By providing a Purchase Order Number with the application form which will enable us to issue an invoice, payable within 30 days.
Please note that from the November 2009 applications onwards, the IBD will be unable to process Examination and Training applications without either one of the above payments or a Purchase Order Number. This means that candidates will not be registered or forwarded any materials until we receive a PO number or payment has been received. We are sure that all candidates and employers will recognise these procedures as being normal commercial practices and will also appreciate that as an educational not for profit charity the IBD is unable to provide credit over and above the 30 days term.

This summer, Hans Florine turned 50. To celebrate, the world-class climber took a solo hike.
Florine scaled the Triple Direct route, a 2,950-foot ascent of the very vertical face of El Capitan in Yosemite Valley. On July 13, a day when temperatures peaked at 106 degrees and even bugs baked on the rocky cliff, Florine capped a first-ever, in-one-day world record of 17 hours, 29 minutes.
One week later, the manager of Concord's Diablo Rock Gym shared his story of the grueling climb at the Brenden Theatres Concord 14.
"I'm totally knackered," Florine said, describing his post-climb condition. Behind him, a selfie filled the enormous screen that, if placed on El Cap, would represent an area smaller than a postage stamp. "I've been lying there for 40 minutes, trying to get up energy to pack my gear."
To understand the significance of the climb and why a man marking a half-century might be thrilled to lie atop a mountain with bits of cheese strewed across his chest, it's important to know that the valley is teeming with arguably similar, nutty speed-climbing athletes -- and has been for decades.
Before 1956, no one even thought the valley's comparatively "lower" 2,000-foot Half Dome could be climbed. Those who tried, stored their water in tin cans or huge rubber bladders similar to those that soldiers once used on battlefields. They wore cotton pants and 45-pound gear packs.
Half Dome, roughly two-and-a-half times the height of San Francisco's Trans America building, Florine said, had those early climbers only managing to cover a few hundred feet after five-day attempts. One team, climbing 33 days spread out over 18 months, found themselves stuck and only two-thirds of the way up. Eventually, a three-man team managed the feat in 1957.
Instantly -- and indicating things to come -- American climber Warren Harding, who had been unsuccessful on Half Dome, upped the ante. On Nov. 1, 1958, Harding and his team climbed El Capitan's more formidable facade.
Like a cork exiting a Champagne bottle, the race was on, as competitive climbers racked up reduced times in subsequent years. By 2000, Florine said, showing a photo taken at a reunion in Yosemite, the sport could boast 600 endurance athletes who'd climbed in the valley throughout the decades.
And from the first ascents, as the number of participants boomed, clothing, gear, team size and the time between record-smashing speed climbs underwent constant reduction. Florine outlined the ping-pong of record titles: El Capitan was mounted in three-and-a half-days (1963); nine hours (1988); 3 hours, 59 minutes (2001); and 2:45 (2007).
Florine's own times also shrank: beginning with a whimper in 1988 as a college kid with a headlamp who took 13 hours and only reached The Face's sickle ledge, he'd cut it to 16 minutes for the same distance by 2003. Having won and lost the El Cap record more than a half-dozen times, Florine holds the world record for climbing "The Nose" route in 2:23:46, set on June 17, 2012, with Alex Honnold.
Dressed in Outdoor Research Ferosi NIAD pants and a short-sleeve Astro man shirt, carrying today's ropes, free biners, runners, Camalots, nuts, one gallon and one liter of water, energy bars and Field Trip Jerky -- and the omnipresent cell phone for pictures -- Florine's Triple Direct record marks his 157th El Cap journey.
For the roughly 100-member audience of climbers and Contra Costa County Search and Rescue personnel invited to the event at the Brenden Theatres, Florine's solo endeavor represented inspiration -- and perhaps, a challenge. After all, if a 50-year-old dude could take a hike, couldn't they?

No one hopes for food stamps no matter what their color
caines | 10/4/2012, 5:30 a.m.
Mitt Romney may believe its okay to discount 47 percent of the voting community because they pay little or no taxes, but we know that his position is just plain wrong. Such a view tends to hold fast to stereotypes about people who are battling chronic unemployment, long-term layoffs, defaults on their mortgage payments or unable to even purchase groceries for themselves and their families. But as we continue to assert, things like hunger, poverty and unemployment do not have color they are part and parcel of the lives of people from every ethnic group. To be clear, no one wants to be in the position that forces them to need food stamps. But thats the reality of life for some 651,613 people in Miami-Dade and Monroe counties 30,000 more than just one year ago. Add to that figure the 11,568 recipients who have been awarded funds from TANF to handle short term but dire emergencies and one can readily see how dire things are for a growing number of families. When you add up the numbers for South Florida its almost staggering. In the past 26 months, the number of Floridians on food stamps has almost doubled. The question to pose is why are more people needing to apply for food stamps if indeed the unemployment rate is dropping. Sometimes statistics can me manipulated somethings theyre just plain wrong. Whats not in error is that there are long lines of people who are in need of food at soup kitchens, at food pantries and at our churches throughout the Black community. A spokesperson for the Department of Children and Family says he is confident that the food stamp numbers will level off soon and begin to decrease. We wonder what he advises folks to do in the mean time. Maybe they should send a note to Romney or even Governor Rick Scott. Both will tell you that things are looking better and that the future is bright. Hmmn. It really all depends on your perspective and your bank account.

The Beltronics Vector 995 is an upper mid-priced offering, the flagship radar detector in the Vector 900 series. Like the related Vector 940 and 955 detectors, the Vector 995 detects all the radar and laser bands in the U.
Loading latest prices from ProductWiki...
S.. However, the Vector 995 also covers the U.K.-based Ku band. This detector has a range that is ten times that of imported radar and laser detectors, which is what sets it apart from the 955 and 940 models (which have eight times and six times the range of imports, respectively). Besides this difference in range, all of the Vector 900 detectors have pretty much the same specs. All offer multi-sensor laser protection, which helps to ensure that a red light or speed trap will not sneak up on you. All have Digital Signal Processing (DSP) technology, which means that these detectors will not be taken in by false alarms like garage door openers or motions sensors. Like all the radar detectors in this series, the Beltronics Vector 995 comes with a one year limited warranty.

Wall Street is starting November on a cautious note, with stocks narrowly mixed after last week's surge and ahead of readings on manufacturing activity, construction spending and auto sales.
Investors are already prepared for the day's reports to support the growing belief that the economy is in recession, hurt by tight credit and slow consumer spending. The question is whether the data will indicate the economy is in even more dire shape than the Dow Jones industrial average has priced in after tumbling more than 14 percent in October -- its worst month in 21 years.
The Dow is up 6 at the 9,331 level. The Standard & Poor's 500 index and the Nasdaq composite index are showing modest declines.
