Posted on 19/09/11
I have completed the 60 mile route that is the London to
Cambridge bike ride for the past three years and always found it to
be a challenging yet enjoyable experience. I suggested to the rest
of the Breathing Buildings Team that we enter and raise sponsorship
money for charity in the process. Initially there were quite a few
groans, however with some gentle persuasion about half of the
office based staff decided to take on the challenge with me.
As a Natural Ventilation company we are very keen to reduce
carbon emissions. We make a particular effort in using public
transport wherever possible and encourage our staff to cycle into
work and there is never a shortage of pushbikes locked up outside
our office.
We are also assisted by the 'Travel for Work' (TfW) scheme which
is a not-for profit partnership. Tfw helps employers deliver
practical solutions for sustainable commuting; this is something
that Breathing Buildings strongly support. I have also
utilised the government's 'Cycle To Work Scheme' to ensure my set
of wheels were reputable and fashionable for all my cycling!
Fortunately the weather on the day of the event was sunny and as
we arrived on the start line I realised what a mixed ability team
we were! Four of the team turned up in full lycra, a scary sight in
a variety of ways. Some staff just wanted to make it to the pub at
the finish in one piece whilst others were determined to prove they
could challenge Mark Cavendish for his green jersey.
The team's finishing times ranged from 2 hours and 45 minute to
7 hours (with 3 punctures along the way), but we all made it round
and in total raised an astonishing £1,700 for
Breakthrough Breast Cancer.
The plan for next year is to do it all again but better.
Here are just a couple of photos of the BB team that completed
the bike ride, including the infamous photo of our wonderful FD in
a SKIRT!

To paraphrase the title of the movie, "There's something about Mary," there's something about Jordan, also.
Jordan Metts, that is.
The Marietta High senior recently signed papers to attend Muskingum University, where she will be playing soccer and studying nursing in the fall. She also considered going to Indiana Tech, Malone, Waynesburg, Heidelberg, Rio Grande, Hocking College, Kent State, and Marietta College.
Thing is, the Mary Beth Caudill-coached Fighting Muskie booters have got a good one, who could have an immediate impact as a freshman.
A tough, hard-nosed player on the pitch and the consumate team player, Metts will make Muskingum more competitive - and better. All she has to do is stay healthy.
Last fall, in her senior soccer season at MHS, Metts started off with an illness.
Then in early September in a match against Chillicothe she suffered a chipped fracture of the distal posture medial malleolus avulsion in the left ankle. At the time, there was talk that because of the injury she might be out two to four weeks, or even be done for the campaign.
But Metts would hear nothing of it. She missed very little and was on the practice field, with the ankle taped, in virtually no time at all.
Because of the injury, though, Metts lost her starting position as a defensive midfielder. But when she entered the game as a sub, she was invariably a spark for the Lady Tiger booters.
During her soccer career at Marietta High, Metts pretty much did what head coach Jeff Price asked of her. She was a defender early on, but in her junior year she made the difficult transition to goalie when starter Kaitlyn Bonar missed the season due to a knee injury.
With Metts between the pipes, Marietta enjoyed a 16-2-3 season, including a regional appearance.
When Bonar returned to the pitch last fall, Metts gave up the gloves and became a midfielder. Then, unfortunately, she injured her ankle.
Late in the season in October during a sectional final at Don Drumm Stadium, though, Bonar collided with a Hillsboro striker and wasn't able to return to the action.
Filling in as keeper, Metts had a couple of quality saves and blanked Hillsboro the rest of the way as the Lady Tigers rallied from a 1-0 halftime deficit to win 2-1.
"It was nice to have Jordan come in with her experience," said Price after the game.
An all-around, versatile soccer player, Metts is very capable of putting the ball into the back of the net. Against Logan Elm in a sectional opener at the Devola Soccer Complex, she headed home one goal and nearly had another in a 6-0 MHS win.
Marietta finished the 2010 season with a sparkling 16-3-2 mark and another regional appearance. On that squad, Metts was one of 10 seniors. Of them, only two or three of them are planning to compete on the pitch at the next level.
Yes, there definitely is something about Jordan. She's a winner and a team player all the way - and Muskingum University will become the beneficiary.

This piece was written by 11-year old Jake Myler to provide a child's perspective on Columbus, Georgia.
My adventure to Columbus, Georgia was a blast filled with bicycling, kayaking and tons of outdoor adventures.
Columbus is known for its history and there are many interesting museums. The city is also now becoming known for some great outdoor adventures. My two favorite things on the trip were bike riding and white water rafting. Before I get to that, let me tell you about the bed and breakfast we stayed at.
We loved the Rothschild-Pound House Inn in a historic area of town where many nice homes are located. The Rothschild-Pound House Inn has rooms in the main house, as well as cottages available. The gourmet breakfasts served each morning were great. One morning, we ate blueberry pancakes and I really liked them. Another day, we had biscuits, bacon, grits, and fresh fruits.
Our first adventure was on a bicycle tour that provided a great way to see views along the river. Our guide told us lots of interesting information, including that there is a pair of nesting Eagles along the opposite side of the river! We rode by the waterfront to the National Civil War Naval Museum. In the museum, we saw two famous boats that sunk and have been brought up to the surface. It was really interesting to see this history up close.
Another day we had the big adventure for our trip. We went white water rafting and I had the time of my life! You go through eight rapids. Towards the end, they have an island where you can go and watch the rafters. My aunt was there watching as we passed by. Before you get to the end, you can jump out and swim to the end of the course. Our guide's name was Judson and he did a great job. The 2.5 mile waterway is located in the downtown area and it makes for an interesting trip.
We had some great food on the trip. One of my favorite restaurants we ate at is called Country's. They have a wide selection of foods and desserts! The meringue on the pie was at least a foot tall.
One of the things I like about Columbus is that you can walk to so many places. We walked around a lot in the downtown area. By the end of my trip, we had walked 12 and a half miles! That's a lot for just two days!
I had the time of my life in Columbus. If you ever get a chance go to Columbus, you should take it.
Jake Myler, 11, often accompanies his aunt, MainStreet Newspapers Inc. editor Angela Gary, on trips and writes about his experiences, giving readers a youth perspective.

One of my cats has inflammatory bowel disease. It is controlled with prescription venison canned cat food. He can't have regular treats. He was eating a hypo allergenic treat, but decided he didn't want them any more. Bravo venison treats is his new favorite! I break them up into 1/2 inch size pieces and give him just a couple - he loves them. Since they are still venison, like his food, they don't upset his tummy.

So the federal government is going to do another stimulus package. Where is this money coming from? Last time I checked, the US was trillions in debts and the last 2 or 3 stimulus packages did nothing to stimulate. I know that the rich have plenty of money, but even if we took it all from them it would not pay off the current debt. The federal government does not produce goods for the money they get, they get it from the citizens and there is not enough of my money left to pay any more to a wasteful bunch of government bureaucrats. STOP SPENDING MONEY YOU DON"T HAVE!!!
I can't go out tomorrow and borrow enough money to pay off my house that I still owe on and expect my financial situation to get better. I can't put all of my bills on a credit card and expect it to stimulate my savings account and retirement fund, nor will it give me more to eat in the next few months. Sadly there are not even enough jobs out there for me to get another one in order to make more money to pay my bills, which if I were in a financial mess would be the right thing for me to try to do, much less get another job to pay of the governments debts that I did not cause.
The American people are being duped into a financial disaster that can't be fixed without someone putting a stop to this outrageous spending of our tax dollars. It is not because we are not paying enough in taxes, no matter who you are, it is that the government is spending money that it doesn't have. Can anyone tell me how printing more money and going into debt helps create jobs? How does going into debt make things better if you aren't making enough money to pay what you already owe? Stupidity is running a muck in Washington DC and I am sick of it. I am calling and writing my elected officials and telling them that they are fired if they spend one more dollar that I make and don't have to give to them. If they want to stimulate the economy, grow a pair and make the tough decisions to be responsible with my money. Say no to more to printing and borrowing and spending. Resign and quit getting paid with my tax dollars if you want to stimulate the economy. I have a 3-year-old grandkids that can lose the money I give to her and she doesn't require a six figure paycheck to do it.

Give blood through the American Red Cross or Community Blood Center.
Donate money to an established relief or humanitarian organization. Beware of scam artists posing as legitimate agencies following a disaster.
Get to know your neighbors. Find out if anyone has specialized equipment, like a power generator or expertise such as medical knowledge, which might help in a crisis. Make arrangements to check on your neighbor's home or pets if one of you is away when a disaster strikes.
Before a disaster, get involved and become familiar with community resources
- Find out which community organizations need your skills and expertise. The American Red Cross, the Salvation Army, local fire and police departments, local health departments and many others, all utilize volunteers during a time of crisis.
- Volunteer to develop site-specific disaster plans for your workplace, child's daycare center, or apartment building if they don't already have one.
After a disaster, volunteers will play a crucial role in recovery efforts

By TONY O'BRYANTAugust 7, 2013
FORT EUSTIS, Va. (Aug 7, 2013) -- In an effort to balance the tradition of recognizing Army professionalism and being good stewards of limited funds, U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command revamped the way it challenges, chooses and celebrates its best enlisted Soldiers.
Chosen from a field of 17, Sgt. Curtis Bittner, from the Fires Center of Excellence at Fort Sill, Okla., and Staff Sgt. Benjamin Steele, from the Initial Military Training Center of Excellence at Fort Jackson, S.C., were named TRADOC's best Soldier and noncommissioned officer, respectively, during a video-teleconference hosted at TRADOC headquarters, with 11 units across the United States.
Before winners were announced, Gen. Robert W. Cone, commanding general of TRADOC, emphasized that although the announcement was done via VTC, the recognition was no less important.
"I'd like to congratulate each and every one of you for aspiring to compete -- to be the man or woman in the arena -- to step forward and say 'I'm going to take a shot at this,'" Cone said. "I will guarantee you just because of your participation and just because of the preparation you have made, you are, in fact, a better Soldier or noncommissioned officer -- and your units are better -- for having had this experience."
After the winners were announced, Steele said he still wasn't sure if he could put into words how it felt to take the title of TRADOC's 2013 NCO of the Year.
"It'll take awhile for it to sink in, but I'm extremely excited and happy to represent Fort Jackson this week," Steele said.
He said although his wife will be excited, she might be a bit disappointed to hear that there are going to be many more nights of studying and practicing."
During the competition, the competitors were confronted with events such as land navigation, media interviews, the Army Physical Fitness Test, a comprehensive test covering military knowledge, and proficiency in the 10 Warrior Tasks and Battle Drills and their nearly 60 sub-tasks.
"These Soldiers were not just challenged physically, but they were also mentally tested to ensure they are experts in their profession and standards," said Sgt. Maj. Jerry Taylor, TRADOC's G-3 sergeant major, who also oversaw the competition.
Bittner, TRADOC 2013 Soldier of the Year, said there is a lot of hands-on training that goes into the competition -- in addition to the missions that must still be completed within each competitor's unit. However, setting the example for his Soldiers is what kept him motivated.
"I feel great," Bittner said. "The Soldiers below me get to see how far you can really go. I look forward to the next level, and I plan on winning it all."
Due to reduced funding and the requirement to prioritize spending, TRADOC leadership decided to run the competition differently than in previous years.
Some of the events, such as the Warrior Tasks and Battle Drills, were graded by the competing Soldier's unit at location, and the land navigation event was conducted at the Non-commissioned Officer Academy nearest each competitor.
"In the past, there would be costs for travel, lodging and per diem for each competitor, and all of the support staff needed to run the competition for an entire week at a location, probably more than 70 people in all," Taylor said.
"Now, we cut costs by conducting some events at the competitors' locations and other events virtually, using technology such as video teleconferencing."
The culminating event in the competition was the final board appearance.
Steele and Bittner, along with the other competitors, took turns answering challenging questions from a board of senior noncommissioned officers, including Taylor and TRADOC Command Sgt. Maj. Daniel Dailey.
Although their chairs were seemingly right in front of the board, each competitor was actually facing a camera in a VTC room back at their home station.
Dailey said finding cost savings in annual competitions like the TRADOC NCO and Soldier of the Year is important for the Army that is operating under tough financial conditions.
"This is important," Dailey said. "Not only for the Soldiers that win, but important to resonate across the command with their leaders, peers, fellow Soldiers and noncommissioned officers because this builds esprit de corps. This is part of the Army profession, and it sends the message that we are still an Army profession, and even during a time of limited resources, we can still do what our nation asks us to do."
Steele and Bittner will now represent TRADOC against other competitors -- in person -- from across the Army during the Best Warrior Competition, held Oct. 15-17, at Fort Lee, Va.

A Must Read - Share
A former deputy speaker of Britain's House of Commons was cleared of charges of sexually assaulting six young men and raping another. Nigel Evans, 56, said he had been dragged through "11 months of hell" by the case, and "nothing will ever be the same again". But on Thursday a jury at Preston Crown Court in northwest England found Evans not guilty on all counts, including one count of rape, five sexual assaults, one attempted sexual assault and two indecent assaults. One alleged victim dismissed an incident where Evans put his hand down his trousers as

Breast Cancer Health Center
Daily Walk May Cut Your Breast Cancer Risk
Those who walked seven hours or more a week, even without engaging in other recreational physical activity, reaped protective benefits compared to those who walked three hours or less a week.
The message is encouraging, Patel said.
However, the study only found an association between moderate exercise and reduced breast cancer risk, not a direct cause-and-effect relationship.
While other studies have found that exercise lowered risk of breast cancer more for women with a lower body mass index (BMI) -- a calculation of body fat based on height and weight -- this study found the effect held regardless of BMI, weight gain in adulthood or use of postmenopausal hormone therapy.
Other studies have found a link between time spent sitting and breast cancer risk, but Patel's group did not find this link.
This is "a good news study for women," said another cancer expert, Dr. Laura Kruper, who was not involved with the research.
The findings add to the accumulating evidence about exercise lowering breast cancer risk, and present a goal that is reachable for most women, said Kruper, co-director of the breast cancer program at the City of Hope Cancer Center in Duarte, Calif.
"This is something nearly every woman can do," Kruper said of exercising moderately for an hour daily.
"This is not running a marathon," she said.
Her advice to sedentary women who want to reduce their breast cancer risk: "If you get off the couch and walk around, it would help."
Why does exercise appear to lower breast cancer risk? The mechanism is mostly hormonal, Patel said. Breast cancer risk is affected by lifetime exposure to estrogen, with more exposure increasing risk. Older, physically active women have lower levels of estrogen than their sedentary peers.
Besides exercising, women who want to reduce breast cancer risk should maintain a healthy body weight, Patel said, and if they drink, they should limit alcoholic beverages to no more than one daily.

5 Broadgate, a major new office block designed by Make Architects for British Land to replace 3, 4 and 6 Broadgate in London, has topped out. Currently under construction for the Swiss Bank UBS, the project will provide 700,000 sq ft of Grade 'A' commercial space over twelve floors when it opens in spring 2015. The building responds to the scale of the Broadgate buildings with the lower trading floors at the height of the Arena and the upper office floors at the height of the adjacent Exchange House and Bishopsgate buildings. Construction of the building is being managed by Mace.
5 Broadgate sits at the heart of the Broadgate; a 30 acre fully managed estate in the heart of the City. Since opening, the estate has been progressively developed and now includes 16 separate buildings covering 4.0 million sq ft with a further 710,000 sq ft under development. The office buildings are set around four landscaped squares each providing an attractive working environment enhanced by restaurants, pubs, shops and health clubs. Due to its excellent location - it has been built around Liverpool Street station, the City's main transport hub - Broadgate has become a dynamic and thriving business community.

First, Testing Authority's ad says NOT AFFILIATED WITH USPS WHO HIRES! If you can read the ad to get the phone number, you can read the WHOLE ad!
Second, it states on the recording that the Post Office does NOT endorse any third party companies.
Third, there is a disclaimer in their materials as well as on the website.. hmm.. let me share it with you since you have NO problem reading:
**All candidates are required to register themselves and pass the Postal Battery Exam in order to be placed on the list of qualified candidates for a position. No independent test preparation organization, including Testing Authority, is either affiliated with or endorsed by the United States Postal Service or any government agency.
While Testing Authority does not directly process a candidate's Postal Battery Exam ( Exams 460 and 473) registration and/or exam date, our materials have been designed to assist individuals in their preparation for the exam. In addition, live operators are available to provide further information and respond to any questions candidates may have.
Testing Authority offers refunds for candidates who do not pass the exam or get hired on the first interview, but can not guarantee a particular score on the exam, or control when the USPS will offer the exam in your local area, when jobs may be available in any area, starting wages for any position, or make any hiring decisions, which are made by local postal authorities.
Information may have changed since publication. Please Note: The United States Postal Service offers study materials free of charge at www.usps.com or your local post office. Publication 60-A is a 32 page orientation guide for exam 473. Publication 60-E is a 32 page orientation guide for exam 460.
Our material is not from the library of the USPS. The publisher of this material is not responsible for any changes that may have been made to the Postal Battery Exam during or after its printing. USPS is a registered trademark of the United States Post Office. **
Fourth.. They went over not just 1 refund policy with you, but 4!
you will be refunded upon your request IF
1. you fail the exam
2. if you are not offered a job on your first interview
3. if you complete your first full week as a new postal employee..
and last but not least, the company realizes that some people live in very rural areas so they go on to say:
if there have been no job openings within 100 miles within 12 months requiring the postal exam 460, 473, or 473-C
They aren't trying to steal your money. They are trying to help you prepare yourself.
Not only that, they give you the instructions that are actually current to the way the post office requires you to even be able to take the exam, but you are too busy being upset over the 130 that you spent knowing good and well you would go spend that type of money just on a trip to the mall.
Why don't you call the customer service reps and instead of crying over a refund, ask them how to go forward. They are very pleasant people and really act as though they enjoy their position!
Hope this helps!

I haven't touched As3 in a while but here goes:
This error means that one of the references to an object inside that method (eqLeft1, my_channel etc) doesn't exist.
In flash, if a movieclip hasn't been instantiated (possibly due to being inside another movieclip, on say, frame 5) then the reference to it will return null if it hasn't reached frame 5 yet.
It is also possible you haven't correctly 'targeted' one of those objects or the frame.

Health & Balance
His apartment, a sixth-floor walk-up, consisted of just a single room with a bed and TV, a small kitchen with a wooden table, and a bathroom. But the view from the patio was stunning. You could see the top of the Spanish Steps, the shimmering Roman skyline. Marco joined me there, and we talked about the places we'd traveled, places we still want to go to. It was like a scene from a movie. Just past midnight, we walked to a bar down the street.
At the bar, it got a little harder for me to understand Marco. He talked louder and louder, seemingly in circles. He continued to drink rum while I sipped a Pinot Grigio, and when the bar closed, he bought a bottle to go. I suggested that we go to the Spanish Steps, thinking it would be the perfect way to end the night, but he grumbled, "Turista, turista," and led me toward his apartment. I thought, Come on, Keri, lighten up. It's your last night in Rome.
When we got upstairs, Marco blasted music first something in Spanish and then Coldplay and moved around the apartment frenetically. He dropped a glass, grabbed some candles, changed the music. I stood on the patio, gazing at the postcard-worthy view. I thought, What an amazing way to end my vacation. What a story to tell my friends. Marco came out and stood behind me, noting that the views in Rome are better than in New York City. I playfully begged to differ, and he scoffed; there was something nasty in his expression. Then he thrust the bottle of rum toward me. When I refused, he walked away and returned with a glass. I wanted to be polite, so I pretended to sip, but I knew it was time to leave.
I walked into the apartment, placed the glass on the table, and told Marco I needed to head home. He had a small cigar box in his hand and offered me a hand-rolled cigarette from inside, presumably marijuana. "No. No, thank you," I said. Then he came around the table and stood in front of me. Mumbling something I didn't understand, he pulled me toward him and kissed my face hard, biting my lips. It hurt, and I tried to push away, but he held the back of my neck with his left hand, pressing my face to his. At the same time, he shoved his right hand down the front of my jeans, undoing my button in the process. I jerked back, but he put both hands on my lower back, pressing me into him. He shoved his hands inside my underwear, scraping me with his fingernails.

THE RING's No. 1-rated middleweight Felix Sturm held onto his "super" WBA title in Mannheim, Germany, on Friday, but only after his latest defense, against Englishman Martin Murray, ended in a draw.
Controversy is often near when a German champion fights on home soil and so it proved again — with some believing the still-undefeated Murray (23-0-1, 10 knockouts) had done enough over 12 cracking rounds to end the long-running reign of 32-year-old Sturm (36-2-2, 15 KOS).
It was mighty close and, the fact it finished with honours even at the SAP Arena was, arguably, a reasonable conclusion. Yet how one judge, Jean-Francois Toupin managed to score the fight 116-112 in Sturm's favour is tough to understand. Toupin's colleagues saw it very differently. Ted Gimza gave it to Murray 115-113, while
Pasquale Procopio had it 114-114 apiece.
Afterwards Murray, who now flies off to the Caribbean to get married to long-time partner Gemma, was in a proud, defiant mood – even if he felt he should have been celebrating his 23rd victory on the spin.
"We thought we won. But we're in Germany and did we do enough to rip the title away from him in his own backyard? We'll have to go back through the tape and watch the fight to see," said the 29-year-old from St Helens, Merseyside. "We're happy with the performance but gutted we didn't win. But there you go, it was expected in Germany.
"We always knew I was world class, I just needed that chance to show it. We have shown it today. You talk about a big jump in class but we've shown I deserve to be at this level.
"It took me a couple of rounds to get into it. It's just one of those things, you never know how you are going to feel on the day. But I went 12 rounds with a world-class fighter and a good world champion. At the end I could feel him going. A couple of more rounds and I'd have had him. I was completely okay out there."
Those sentiments were echoed by Murray's manager and promoter, Ricky Hatton, who was delighted with the display and disappointed with the result.
"I'm very proud of him," said the former two-weight titleholder from Manchester. "We always said from day one that he was world class. It's a fantastic achievement fighting for the world title when you think of the speed Martin has done it. It's a credit to him and a credit to his trainer Oliver Harrison.
"Personally, I thought he'd won it by one round. But we are in Germany. But we will be back . The Martin Murray story is not finished here. We won't stop until we get one of those belts."

Review: Foresight Linux - When nature calls!
,----[ Quote ]
| In conclusion, testing Foresight has been quite a pleasure and I've learned

| contains useful software, such as the entire OpenOffice.org suite, two web
| browsers (Mozilla Firefox and Epiphany), Brasero for burning CD/DVDs, a
| powerful and sophisticated audio player/manager (Banshee). It also comes with
| a very beautiful theme, called Nimbus, and a nice collection of wallpapers.

Foresight Linux: A Distribution That Stands Out From The Crowd
,----[ Quote ]
| Foresight Linux has entrusted its package management to Conary. A few of the
| cool features about Conary are:
| # Dependencies are defined at the file level, which brings in only the
| Â* components needed from other packages instead of entire packages.
| # During an update, Conary only installs the diff of the update, not the full
| Â* binary again which makes downloads and updates faster
| # If anything went wrong with an installation or update, you can rollback
| Â* your system to a previous state. If the command conary rollback 10 is
| Â* issued, Conary will undo the last 10 things it has done for you. Â*
| # When fresh installing an application, Conary downloads a binary package and
| Â* install it, process which takes a whole lot less than compiling and
| Â* installing from source code. When a new version of the application is
| Â* available, it just applies the diff. Â*

Brokering Notes Reviews- Another Scam or Legit?
Brokering Notes sounds like an easy way to make some cash.
Brokering Notes is a program offered by Charter Financial and is advertised to teach the art of successful note brokering.
Note that we said "art" of note brokering, it seems you do need a certain skill in this area to understand it and make it work for you.
If you take a look at BrokeringNotes.com, there is a claim that brokering notes by being a note broker is like any other home based businesses and can give you the freedom to earn a full or part time income while working from home; so far so good.
With Charter Financial at BrokeringNotes.com, their program is said to help with locating note sellers. Then they walk you through the proper steps to complete a transaction and you make money where you would be an independent representative of Charter Financial.
You would be able to choose how much or how little you want to work and earn accordingly.
From what we have determined, there may be more to note brokering that you need to check with your local legalities. For example you may need a license to sell this.
Some people have found themselves in trouble with the SEC by not having the proper licensing for example so do your due diligence.
Our top program information is here, and we encourage you to take it for a test drive to see how we earn multiple residual incomes and offer FREE support to anyone that simply asks for our help– or click the HIGHLIGHTED links below.
Also please help us and click the various social buttons on this site and for sure subscribe to our site. Thanks much!

This article also seemed to offer some interesting input on Brokering Notes Brokering Notes .
Keep in mind no matter what program you choose to join, you will need to learn some skills, and in our programs we keep is EASY and SIMPLE so anyone can just COPY what we do. Duplication of what we do is how you will copy us then show your new customers. If it isn't relatively easy, it won't duplicate as nice as you hoped and your business will get off to a slow start. We hope you realize there is no "get rich quick" schemes other than those that take your money and make someone else rich.
I would recommend doing your due diligence before getting involved with Brokering Notes or any other similar program.

Compliance Policy Guide; Radiofrequency Identification Feasibility Studies and Pilot Programs for Drugs; Notice To Extend Expiration Date
Notice; Extension Of Expiration Date.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is extending the expiration date of compliance policy guide (CPG) Sec. 400.210 entitled "Radiofrequency Identification (RFID) Feasibility Studies and Pilot Programs for Drugs" to December 31, 2014.

Connie Jung, Office of Compliance, Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, Food and Drug Administration, 10903 New Hampshire Ave., Bldg. 51, Rm. 4268, Silver Spring, MD 20993-0002, 301-796-3130.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Back to Top
In the Federal Register of November 17, 2004 (69 FR 67360), FDA announced the availability of CPG Sec. 400.210 entitled "Radiofrequency Identification (RFID) Feasibility Studies and Pilot Programs for Drugs." Previous extensions of the expiration date of the CPG were published in 2007, 2008, and 2010 (72 FR 65750, November 23, 2007; 73 FR 78371, December 22, 2008; 75 FR 80827, December 23, 2010). FDA has identified RFID as a promising technology to be used in the various efforts to combat counterfeit drugs. The CPG describes how the Agency intends to exercise its enforcement discretion regarding certain regulatory requirements that might otherwise be applicable to studies involving RFID technology for drugs. The goal of the CPG is to facilitate performance of RFID studies and to allow industry to gain experience with the use of RFID technology and its effect on the long-term safety and integrity of the U.S. drug supply.
On September 27, 2007, the Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act of 2007 (Pub. L. 110-85) (FDAAA) was signed into law. Section 913 of FDAAA addressed pharmaceutical safety and created section 505D of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the FD Act) (21 U.S.C. 355e). Section 505D(b) of the FD Act requires the development of standards for the identification, validation, authentication, and tracking and tracing of prescription drugs. Section 505D(b)(3) of the FD Act states that these new standards must address promising technologies, which may include RFID technology.
In implementing section 505D of the FD&C Act, FDA is currently addressing issues, such as promising technologies, that also are relevant for the CPG. In addition, FDA is considering further the experience of stakeholders and the Agency under the CPG. As we consider all of these issues, the CPG will remain in effect until December 31, 2014.
Dated: December 11, 2012.
Leslie Kux,
Assistant Commissioner for Policy.

Driver killed in single-vehicle crash in Arlington
A late night car crash killed a driver and critically injured a passenger in Arlington on Saturday.
Arlington police say the car veered from the road and struck a guardrail when traveling westbound on Interstate Highway 20 between Kelly Elliott Road and Green Oaks Boulevard. The car flipped and rolled down into a grassy embankment.
Both people in the car were ejected. The driver, a woman in her early 30s, was pronounced dead at the scene, according to police.The passenger, a woman in her late 20s, was taken to a Fort Worth area hospital with critical injuries.
Police closed down Interstate Highway 20 for about two hours, following the accident. Police say they are investigating the cause of the crash and believe that alcohol and high speed may have been factors.
The name of the driver has not been released.

The Flu Shot - Injection (Free to UCAR staff, retirees, their spouses/partners, and dependent children 18-26 years of age):
The regular flu vaccine contains killed influenza virus of the types selected by the U.S. Public Health Service and the Center for Biologics Evaluation & Research of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The types of virus included are those that have most recently been causing influenza. The vaccine will not give you flu because it is a killed virus vaccine. As with any vaccine, flu vaccine may not protect 100% of all susceptible individuals.
Optional Nasal Flu Spray - FluMist® (Available on request; $19/pp co-pay paid by participants:
The nasal flu spray contains weakened live influenza viruses of the types selected by the U.S. Public Health Service and the Center for Biologics Evaluation & Research of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The types of virus included are those that have most recently been causing influenza. Made from weakened live viruses, the flu spray is engineered not to cause disease. As with any vaccine, nasal flu spray may not protect 100% of all susceptible individuals. The FluMist® is available on request at UCAR on-site locations and Passport Health facilities for $19/pp co-pay paid by the participants. Payments made to Passport Health - cash, check, credit cards, and medical debit cards accepted.
Influenza vaccine generally causes only mild side effects that occur at low frequency. Most commonly, the injection vaccine may cause a sore or tender arm where the injection was given, or possibly fever, chills, headache, or muscle aches. The most common reactions to the nasal flu spray are runny nose in all ages, low-grade fever (100-102F) in young children and sore throat in adults. These side effects usually last 24 to 48 hours. Most people who receive the vaccine either have no reaction or only mild reactions. There is a possibility, as with any vaccine or drug, that an allergic or other serious reaction, or even death, could occur. Also, medical events completely unrelated to the vaccine may occur coincidentally following vaccination.
The Flu Shot Vaccine is NOT RECOMMENDED for those who have:

The difference between cheap and frugal, revisited
In a very recent article, I talked about the difference between being cheap vs. being frugal. I defined the difference between the two as follows.
• Being cheap – You are unwilling to spend money on anything. Even stuff you need. You go out of your way to save money, even when it might not be a great idea.
• Being frugal – You don't waste money. You spend it on things you need, and save it on things you don't.
Well, Trent over at The Simple Dollar wrote a great article about the major differences. He takes the same standpoint that I did–being cheap is inherently bad, while being frugal is not. He writes:
"In a nutshell, a frugal person seeks to find the best deal on an item that meets the desired level of quality… On the other hand, a cheap person will always take the route of least financial cost in the here and now."
But, as I said before, being cheap is often more expensive that being frugal. Trent agrees. If you are cheap, you buy lower quality items much of the time. When they break, the cheapskate has to spend extra money fixing or replacing them. Fortunately if this happens to you, you can get a good P2P loan on Lending Club for all of your household needs.
Are you cheap or frugal? At Lending Club, we want to make sure you aren't wasting the money you worked hard to earn.
