- Good afternoon. I'm delighted to join Sandy (Kennedy -- President) and so many of you to celebrate the new OSHA/IMRA Alliance we'll be signing shortly. When we work together cooperatively, I know we can accomplish great things - for your members and for their employees.
- OSHA has a very simple mission: helping employers and their workers prevent injuries, illnesses and deaths on the job. There are nearly 115 workers at 7 million worksites that come under OSHA jurisdiction. That's a tremendous responsibility for a small agency.
- If any organization ever needed to win friends and influence people to meet its mandate, we do. We'll never be successful in driving injuries and illnesses toward zero if we don't.
- Theodore Roosevelt once said, "Keep your eyes on the stars and your feet on the ground." That's my philosophy. We're going to focus on the long-term vision by using the down-to-earth process of building bridges of cooperation and understanding with our stakeholders, like IMRA.
- I want OSHA to take the lead in setting the national agenda on workplace safety and health. We want to foster the dialogue on the most important safety and health issues facing American employers and workers. Toward that end, we have a clear message to deliver: Safety and health add value. To your business. To your workplace. To your life.
- The value for business is clear: focusing on safety and health programs is the right thing to do; it saves money and adds value to the organization.
- Safety and health add value to the workplace as well. The benefits include increased productivity, higher quality, increased morale and reduced turnover.
- Clearly safety and health add value to life. For workers, getting hurt or sick is not just physically painful. On-the-job injuries and illnesses can significantly reduce income, increase stress and hinder a full family life.
- By any measure ... Safety and health add value ... To your business... To your workplace... To your life.
- As more and more employers and workers understand and appreciate the value of safety and health, I believe we will be increasingly successful in driving injuries and illnesses down. OSHA has developed three, equally important strategies to move ahead.
- These strategies include: strong, fair and effective enforcement; outreach, education and compliance assistance; and partnerships and cooperative programs. These are the tools we have to encourage employers and workers to make safety and health on the job a top priority.
- Our first strategy is the one everyone knows about -- strong, fair and effective enforcement. Enforcement is the foundation for OSHA's efforts. Cooperative programs and partnerships build on this foundation.
- You might be surprised to learn that we actually do very few inspections in the retail industry. Federal OSHA conducted only about 660 inspections in retail stores last year -- or less than 2 percent overall.
- The number in general merchandise stores -- the category that includes many IMRA members -- was only 115 -- 3/10 of one percent of the total. And the issues of greatest concern at sites we inspected involved exits, housekeeping problems and electrical hazards.
- Clearly, our enforcement effort is limited in your industry. We need to reserve our inspection resources for those industries with many serious hazards, and we need to focus on sites where workers are actually getting hurt or sick. OSHA has an inspection targeting system that we are continually refining to do that.
- OSHA has also taken a hard look at its standard setting effort. We've combined safety and health standards and renamed the office "Standards and Guidance." You'll see the results of their guidance efforts very soon with our new nursing home ergonomics guidelines. Other products -- on a wide variety of safety and health issues -- training programs, detailed information on addressing specific hazards and technical reports -- will follow.
- We've pared down our semi-annual regulatory agenda. We've stopped publishing a lengthy "wish list" and started putting out a realistic "to-do" list.
- We want everyone to know what we're really working on over the next 12 months. And you can hold us accountable for those milestones.
- I'm delighted to report that when the most recent regulatory agenda came out late last year, we met every goal on it. And we'll do it again.
- Standards and enforcement form the foundation -- but there are other, more effective ways to reduce fatalities, injuries and illnesses -- and we are employing those strategies to make the biggest impact we can.
- The first is outreach, education and compliance assistance. We've promised to expand assistance for those who want to do the right thing.
- We have 67 compliance assistance specialists -- one in each of our OSHA area offices -- whose job is to help businesses with safety and health. They can provide safety and health training, guidance and encouragement. These OSHA staffers are focused solely on outreach -- not enforcement -- and they're available to help you.
- For small businesses, we also provide onsite help through the OSHA Consultation Program. Whether employers have a specific safety concern or want to develop or improve a safety and health program, they can get free help. There's an office in each state with consultants ready to assist.
- We also have 20 Education Centers -- essentially franchises for OSHA training -- that teach safety and health classes -- mostly at community colleges and universities. There's a complete listing of sites and courses on the OSHA website at www.osha.gov.
- One of the areas that demand OSHA's attention is the need to reach immigrant workers, particularly Spanish-speaking workers. Even as overall workforce fatalities have fallen, deaths among Hispanic workers have increased... up 12% in 2000 and 9% in 2001.
- We've taken a number of steps to reach out to Hispanic workers ... a toll-free help line ... 1-800-321-OSHA with assistance in English and Spanish ... a Spanish webpage ... many publications in Spanish ... 180 OSHA or state staff who speak Spanish ... partnerships with Hispanic groups ... and more.
- Some of you may be aware of another outreach effort of ours -- QuickTakes -- our e-mail news memo. Launched a year ago, we now have 30,000 subscribers, with more added every day.
- If you haven't signed on, I urge you to do so. It's free and it's fast... just 2 pages every 2 weeks, and in 2 minutes you can keep track of safety and health issues that OSHA is working on. Sign up at www.osha.gov and QuickTakes will come to your email address.
- We also have a new youth page on our website for teen workers, their parents and educators. We're focusing information on issues and hazards most likely to affect teens.
- Our other focus for reducing injuries, illnesses and deaths is partnerships and cooperative programs.
- This effort includes several programs -- our premier employer partnership program -- Voluntary Protection Programs or VPP, OSHA Strategic Partnerships, and Alliances. We're looking to expand all of these programs significantly.
- We have a stretch goal of increasing VPP sites tenfold -- and we're looking at options for doing that. We need many, many more sites on the road to excellence.
- We're also expanding our Strategic Partnerships. We now have 178 such partnerships involving more than 6,500 employers and covering nearly 200,000 workers
- And then there's our newest partnership effort ... the one IMRA will be part of ... Alliances.
- Alliances focus on leveraging resources on one or more elements such as training and education, outreach and communication or promoting the value of safety and health.
- In signing the agreement today, IMRA will become the 21st organization to participate in an OSHA Alliance. And we have discussions underway with another 30 or 40 groups. Alliances are open to a wide variety of organizations -- trade associations, unions, educational groups, professional societies and others. Alliances are an excellent way to share and promote best practices.
- The agreement we are about to sign specifically calls for us to work together to
- Provide your members with safety and health information and guidance.
- Reach out to IMRA members who will benefit from mentoring or guidance on safety and health programs, including ergonomics.
- Provide your members with safety and health information and guidance.
- We will also be agreeing to
- Develop and disseminate information through our websites, print materials and speeches and exhibits at conferences and other events.
- Promote training and education on safety, health and ergonomics issues.
- Work together to promote the national dialogue on workplace safety and health.
- Develop and disseminate information through our websites, print materials and speeches and exhibits at conferences and other events.
- Under the Alliance, OSHA and IMRA will work together through an implementation team that will meet at least quarterly. The primary focus for our efforts will be ergonomics.
- I understand that your members face a wide variety of issues and have many different types of operations. Therefore, rather seek to develop your own ergonomics guidelines, you want to work with us to focus on best practices -- and then find ways to share those best practices.
- I am delighted that you've stepped forward to address ergonomics, and we look forward to working with you on this issue. As many of you know, musculoskeletal disorders represent one-third of the injuries American workers experience every year. It's one of our top priorities to help businesses address ergonomics and prevent these injuries. Let me tell you a little bit about what we're doing.
- Last April, Labor Secretary Elaine Chao announced a new four-pronged approach to address musculoskeletal disorders. It includes industry-specific guidelines, enforcement through the general duty clause, outreach and assistance and research recommendations with the help of an advisory committee.
- We have identified three industries for OSHA guidelines -- nursing homes, retail groceries and poultry processors. The guidelines for nursing homes will be ready very soon. We expect to issue drafts on groceries and poultry processing later this spring. And within the next couple of months we plan to announce additional guidelines.
- In addition to the guidelines we're developing, we're looking to individual industries to work on guidelines of their own. The printing and graphics industry, the American Furniture Manufacturers and the Society for the Plastics Industry are all actively working on guidelines.
- About 10 other groups have formed Alliances, like IMRA, to address ergonomics. For example:
- The Airlines will work with OSHA to improve its eTool on baggage handling, develop a biomechanics training module for employees and hold a workshop on ergonomics at a major safety conference.
- The American Meat Institute will develop ergonomics training and educational materials and will provide information in Spanish and other languages.
- The American Industrial Hygiene Association will share hazard recognition strategies and tools as well as data on solutions to ergonomic hazards with OSHA and others.
- The Airlines will work with OSHA to improve its eTool on baggage handling, develop a biomechanics training module for employees and hold a workshop on ergonomics at a major safety conference.
- We have an extensive webpage devoted to ergonomics, including interactive software to help employers find practical solutions that have worked for others.
- In addition, our new 15-member National Advisory Committee on Ergonomics met for the first time in January. They'll assist us in many areas, but I've particularly asked them to begin helping us find ways to reduce science to practice in ergonomics. Small employers need practical guidance ... and we need to offer it.
- We will also be involved in enforcement. Does that mean OSHA will be enforcing guidelines? No, definitely not. But what it does mean is that employers who have problems with MSDs in the workplace need to address them.
- A primary focus for inspections will be nursing homes. We announced a national emphasis inspection program for nursing homes last summer. But we are conducting inspections in other industries as well.
- We are not going to focus our enforcement efforts on employers who have implemented effective ergonomic programs or who are making good-faith efforts to reduce ergonomic hazards.
- OSHA has a huge challenge in assuring safety and health at 7 million workplaces in the U.S. We do not take our responsibilities lightly. Nor do we assume that we can handle this challenge alone.
- Rather, our goal is to provide the leadership and the vision to help employers and employees recognize that safety and health add value -- to businesses, to workplaces and to life. And to provide a balanced approach to carrying out our mission of helping employers and employees reduce injuries, illnesses and deaths in the workplace.
- In everything we do, we are looking for ways to partner with those who share our vision. We are particularly pleased to join with IMRA in an Alliance that will enable us to work together cooperatively to address ergonomics and other safety and health issues in the retail industry.

Trail in the
"A quick but short descent connecting Route 50 with Route 89."
— Jason Lampe on May 24, 2013
|1.93.1 milesKilometers
|859'262 m Ascent
|7,393'2,253 m High
|9% Avg Grade (5°)
|Singletrack Type
|0'0 m Descent
|6,534'1,992 m Low
|56% Max Grade (29°)
Take a
Virtual Ride
DescriptionNOTE: Watch your speed; there's a drop off in places.
The Trail begins about 30 feet after leaving the paved Route 50. Look to your left for the Hawley trail sign, and don't be lured into continuing along the fireroad. It begins with very steep, loose switchbacks and 1 foot drops. The drops are rollable at slow speeds, or droppable at higher speeds. After about a 1/4 mile, the trail levels out to a smoother singletrack interrupted at times by loose rocky sections and nice views of the valley. After about a mile, there's a 30' creek crossing. During spring it's covered and you'll need to hike-a-bike unless you don't mind wet shoes (see photo taken in mid May). The trail continues with speedy singletrack and a few more loose rock sections where you must pick your line wisely. It ends with a sharp left turn onto a gravel, then paved road.
There are three choices at the end:
1. Connect to Route 89 and road ride back to town
2. Connect to Route 89 and road climb about 1.5 miles to the start of the Christmas Valley Trail
3. Connect immediately and climb Christmas Valley Trail, though I highly recommend taking the road climb and descending Christmas Valley Trail.

Newcastle United Message Board
January transfer window (4 Toon)
Nothing much happens in Jan tran window but for Newcastle somethins got to.The squad seems to get smaller thru injury every time we play and its not a big squad anyway.We are still in uefa cup and at wrong end of table,this Jan tran window has got to be used fruitfully by us if we are to perform well enough to make progress. Replys and Ideas anyone??Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
right, a few things
a) gareth bale, abso-friggin'-lutely, i'd love him at sjp, but there are other big clubs looking at him, and seeing as him and walcott are friends, i wouldn't be surprised if he ended up at the emirates
b) giles barnes, not actually heard of him, but 'll keep an eye out for him now. only problem with him is that he's an offensive midfield player and we've got sibierski atm, so i'd see barnes as a replacement for when sibierki leaves/retires
c) titus shambles, aaaaaaaahahahaha i'd love it if fulham gave us money for him. i think i'd be tempted to give fulham money, just so they'd take him off our hands.
i dont know which is funnier, fulham offering us money for shambles or juve giving us money for boumsong.
any of these? huntelaar,neill,upson,nugent,bridge,crouch,gera,or perhaps some more from europe?

From an outside point of view I've got a few suggestions.
Starting at the back
Curtis Davies
You're pretty strong here but if you could somehow get Wright Phillips to follow Parker and Duff you'd be laughing.
Don't think we're gonna see Owen this season so you may need someone. I'd suggest
Smith (Loan)

about a week ago jose mourinho was talking about get a reserve chelsea team into the lower divisions a la real madrid. is it just me, or does anyone else think that that's what we are?:S parker babyaro and duff are here already, and rumours flying around of wright-phillips, shevchenko and bridge joining in january. not that this is a bad thing, 'cause it's not like chelsea but rubbish players, but it'd be a bit sad knowing we got chelsea's cast-offs.
anyway, i think curtis davies would be an awesome addition to our defence, the price tag might be a little higher (not sure where wba are in the league but if its out of the top ten i'm sure a few clubs'd be looking at him.
i don't think we've got much chance of getting lucas neill, not when we're in a similar predicament to blackburn as it is, and barca and liverpool are sniffing around.
o shea and silvestre are other players i'd like to see join, just a question of getting them here.
in attack, klose would be magic, but again there are bigger clubs sniffing around (barca, man usa etc).
also, i still don't understand why we don't play rossi more either, i know it's a common complaint from fans but it's totally valid. could play him more and see if we can get him for the rest of the season or more.
bent is too similar to martins imo and there wouldn't be much point forking out 15mil+ to get a carbon copy player.
[edit before i post: had a bit of a rethink. imagine. dyer, the zog, martins and bent.... that'd be really good for playing counter attack to teams like chelski, or just generally. i don't think a defence, for example like bolton's would be able to cope with that]
doyle seems like a bit of a risk atm, maybe wait 'til the end of the season? see how he's done by then (another idea is see how dave kitson turns out when he's back to full fitness, he tore up defences for fun last year). i also don't think man usa would let us have smith after what happened to rossi this year.
rate Upson,Silvestre and Bridge also Alan Smith thanx.

Adding fullness and shape is essential for your hair type, Josh says. Detangle damp strands with a comb, then spritz a volumizing spray near your scalp. Pull hair into a high ponytail with your hands, wrap it into a bun, then fasten with a large slim clip or pin. Let it down once it's dry. "Fixing hair high on the head lifts it, while the twist forms a soft texture," he explains.

Natural waves need polish and definition. Use a styling cream or cream-gel to provide moisture and a little hold, plus big braids to set the waves, Josh advises. Rake a blob of cream through damp strands with fingers, divide hair at your part, then do two braids, tying with fabric bands rather than elastics so ends lie flat. When dry, undo braids and "comb" with your hands.

Wave Cream Paul Mitchell Curls Ultimate Wave Cream-Gel, $14
To keep your curls smooth and frizz-free, begin the second you step out of the shower: "Apply a curl-smoothing serum while hair is still very wet—do not towel-dry," Josh says. (As soon as it starts to dry, it will start to frizz.) Spread serum from roots to ends and run a wide-toothed comb through strands to fully coat hair. Then leave it be. "Touching or brushing will just make it pouf," he says.

AT&T Raises Possibility of Offering NFL Sunday Ticket to Wireless Customers
Phone Giant Looks to Convince Wall Street Its $49 Billion DirecTV Acquisition Has Strategic Value
AT&T Inc. T -0.27 % is floating the possibility of offering DirecTV's National Football League Sunday Ticket programming to all its wireless phone customers, as the phone giant seeks to convince Wall Street of the strategic value of its $49 billion planned acquisition of the satellite TV firm.
In an analyst meeting in New York on Wednesday, AT&T management highlighted Sunday Ticket as a cornerstone of future product-bundle offerings it can market to its customers, according to analysts who attended the meeting. AT&T executives even suggested it could exempt streaming of NFL games from counting toward subscribers' data limits.
AT&T "is looking to use the Sunday Ticket content over mobile devices and expects that it can be a differentiator over the long run to gain incremental market share in both mobile and broadband," Barclays said in a research note.
Long offered by DirecTV as a premium service, Sunday Ticket allows customers to watch out-of-market NFL games on Sunday afternoons on their TV sets and if they pay extra, by streaming to their mobile devices.
DirecTV and the NFL are currently negotiating a renewal of the agreement, due to expire at the end of the 2014 football season. AT&T can abandon the DirecTV acquisition if the Sunday Ticket offering isn't renewed, highlighting how valuable the programming is for AT&T.
But acquiring DirecTV wouldn't automatically give AT&T the right to sell Sunday Ticket separately to all its wireless customers. DirecTV's mobile streaming rights only cover people paying for the satellite service.
And under current deal terms being contemplated between DirecTV and the NFL, AT&T wouldn't have separate or expanded rights for Sunday Ticket, according to people familiar with the NFL's thinking.
A person close to AT&T said that AT&T's management was merely articulating "30,000-foot remarks" about "future bundling possibilities" and wasn't addressing current negotiations between DirecTV and the NFL. Indeed, some of the analysts said they came away with the impression that AT&T was laying out a hypothetical, long-term strategy.
Analysts said AT&T was vague about whether it was merely interested in marketing a bundle of DirecTV video offerings and broadband or if it would like to secure the ability to offer Sunday Ticket programming as a stand-alone video offering bundled with wireless data. AT&T management didn't address one way or another whether it was contemplating seeking the rights to offer Sunday Ticket stand-alone to AT&T Wireless customers, according to the person close to AT&T.
Any move by AT&T to extend the NFL offering to its customers would put it on a collision course with its biggest rival, Verizon Communications Inc., VZ -0.44 % which already has the exclusive smartphone streaming rights to football games for Sunday, Monday and Thursday nights. Verizon also can show Sunday afternoon games from customers' home markets on Verizon Wireless phones.

Solutions for Chapter 2 Problem 16P
Nose figure (NF) and the noise factor (F) are measures of degradation of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) caused by the components of the radio frequencies. It acts as a sort of scale which helps to analyze the performance of the radio receiver. Noise figure results in zero value when the circuit is loaded by noiseless impedance at its output. The reflection would be 100% and so no transmission would take place.

The old numbers (A000-01) are being retained for the life of the Assurance. Institutions with an Assurance will receive a new number, but may use the new or old number in communications with NIH. OLAW will reference both numbers in any Assurance-related correspondence. To view Assurance numbers, go to the OLAW website list of Assured Institutions (Domestic | Foreign). Institutions seeking a new Assurance will receive their number in the new format only.
Announcement: Dr. Neera Gopee has been appointed to the position of Veterinary Medical Officer in the Divisions of Assurances and Compliance Oversight.
Announcement: Bernadette Juarez is the new acting Deputy Administrator for the APHIS Animal Care (AC) program.
Addressing concerns from the biomedical research community, Congressman Rod Blum (R-IA), along with Congressman Kevin Cramer (R-ND) and Congressman Dr. Dan Benishek (R-MI), introduced H.R.3136, the Enforcement Transparency Act (ETA) of 2015. This legislation would require the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to publicly release the guidelines used to calculate fines for violations of the Animal Welfare Act.
USDA APHIS recently posted the Annual Report Animal Usage by Fiscal Year, 2015 (PDF). A summary analysis of the 2014 data was provided by Speaking of Research.
In response to a petition submitted by some animal rights groups, APHIS requested public input on modifying standards for nonhuman primates in research facilities. Various organizations have responded to the petition.

AbstractAlzheimer's disease (AD) is one of the most well-known neurodegenerative diseases and explains 50–60% of dementia in patients. The prevalence rate of AD is positively correlated with age and AD affects ≥ 40% of those over 85 years old. The major AD therapeutics available on the market are acetylcholinesterase inhibitors, such as tacrine and donepezil. New therapeutic agents that can block the disease-inducing mechanisms are essential. Diverse efforts have been made to discover anti-AD agents from natural sources. In this review article, we describe some representative terpenoids such as ginsenosides, gingkolides, and canabinoids as potential anti-AD agents. These compounds exhibit promising in vitro and in vivo biological activities, but are still waiting clinical trials. Additionally, we also discuss some terpenoids including cornel iridoid glycoside, oleanolic acid, tenuifolin, cryptotanshinone, and ursolic acid, which are under investigation for their in vitro and in vivo animal studies.

NEW YORK -- The NFL and Ameriquest Mortgage Co. have signed a deal that makes Ameriquest the "Official Mortgage Company Sponsor of the NFL" and presenting sponsor of flagship NFL initiatives, including the Super Bowl halftime show, Pro Bowl balloting and "NFL Opening Kickoff."
Under the agreement, Ameriquest will be able to display NFL trademarks, including use of the NFL shield logo, Super Bowl, Pro Bowl and the 32 NFL team marks. The company will be a presenting sponsor to three of the NFL's marquee programs themed around Super Bowl, Pro Bowl and the kickoff of the season. Overall financial arrangements were not revealed, but the cost to Ameriquest for its Super Bowl involvement was put at $15 million by USA Today.
The entertainment for the Ameriquest Super Bowl XXXIX halftime show will be announced at a later date. Super Bowl XXXIX will be held on Feb. 6, 2005 at ALLTEL Stadium in Jacksonville, Fla. The game will be televised by Fox. The Bonham Group, Denver, and Passage Events, Seattle, facilitated the agreement on behalf of Ameriquest.
Ameriquest and the NFL first teamed last month on "NFL Opening Kickoff," the football and music pregame show on ABC that preceded the first game of the season. In addition, Ameriquest has local NFL team agreements with Denver, Houston, Indianapolis, Minnesota, New Orleans, New York, San Diego, and San Francisco; and also is in its first year as a sponsor of MLB.
"This is a historic day for Ameriquest," Adam Bass, senior evp for Ameriquest, Orange, Calif., said in a statement. "The NFL is a terrific partner because of its broad national audience, deep fan base, and its renewed commitment to provide an entertainment product that appeals to the American values of home and family."

I suggest that Ameriquest victims personally write to the NFL and MLB league head offices, it will carry more weight that way. Also include links to ripoff report, state AG's reports, etc.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Hallmark is known for their greeting cards and holiday ornaments. They are truly classics! Luckily they are also available at Walmart, which makes picking up a card or two super easy. I found them right near the front of the store, along with ornaments and other fun Hallmark gifts.
I picked up three cards while I was out getting my cookie ingredients; a card for my family, one for my husband, and one to include a gift card for our "Secret Santa" this year. I also picked up a special ornament from Hallmark, one that is pretty iconic (take a guess, and then see if you are correct at the end of this post)!
Of course, what would a classic card be without a classic cookie to go with it? But this cookie has a surprise ingredient to help make them even softer and better than a regular chocolate chip cookie! You may already know the trick, but a package of vanilla instant pudding mix is all it takes to make your chocolate chip cookie amazing! We love to make these to share with friends and family at Christmas, and they are always a big hit. You might want to make an extra batch to keep for yourself.
Start up the Hallmark Pandora station and make your baking even more merry!
Pudding Chocolate Chip Cookies
1 cup unsalted butter softened
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
3.4 oz. package vanilla instant pudding mix (just the dry mix, don't make the pudding)
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups chocolate chips (or use a package something festive like I did)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Beat together butter and sugars until creamy using a mixer, then add in the pudding mix, eggs, and vanilla extract. Slowly add the flour, baking soda, and salt until combined nicely. Fold in your chocolate chips or festive chocolates by hand to prevent them from being crushed by the mixer.
Line a baking sheet with parchment or tinfoil for easy clean up. Spoon dough into balls and place them on the baking sheet. If you have a cookie dough scoop now is a great time to use it!
Bake for 10-15 minutes and let cool slightly before transferring them to a cooling rack. I like to move the entire sheet of parchment, cookies and all, to the cooling rack.
Now comes the fun part… sharing! We made two batches so we would have a few to eat while we decorated our tree. Did you guess which Hallmark ornament I got? It's a major award!
What is your favorite treat to share during the holidays? Do you include a card with your treats? Have a look at all the fun holiday cards and let me know what your favorite Hallmark card or ornament is!
And don't forget to click here to save $1.00 off of a two Hallmark Greeting Card purchase at Walmart, minimum $1.00 purchase required. Take advantage of the savings and #SendHallmark this holiday season!

I installed Easy Google Analytics last night. I can't seem to get it authenticated. I can generate a code on Google, but when I paste it into the text box and continue, I get the following error:
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, email@example.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
I have tried resetting it twice with identical results. Now I'd like to uninstall it and try from scratch again unless you have another suggestion. It looks like others have run into this same issue, but the only suggestion I've seen which looks like it could be helpful is increasing the RAM. I added the suggested fix for that to my wp-config.php file but it didn't make any difference.
I am also using WooCommerce version 2.0.19 if that makes any difference.
Any help would be appreciated.

I am a crafter/artisan and have been honing my skills for the past 45+ years. My first love is crochet. I've taught myself many different crafts over the years, but my passion is crochet. I learned how to crochet from a real pro, my grandma, when I was 9 years old. I've been in the craft business for about 30 years. I owned a brick & mortar shop, but the overhead became too much for me so I decided to put my business online. I was the owner of Jewels Designs, Connie's PDF Patterns & Connie's Custom Crochet. I closed Jewels Designs a few years ago, I still have Facebook Fan pages for Connie's PDF Pattern & Connie's Custom Crochet. I currently have an Etsy Shop (Connie's Crochet Gifts and a Storenvy Shop (Connie's Graphs). I'm currently teaching a crochet course and have 2 Blogs. You can also find me on Pinterest & Linkedin, just google Connie's....
Check them out when you get a chance. Coming in 2015 I will be opening, Connie's By The Yard Trims.
I love helping and promoting my fellow artisan's and their beautiful work. I do a lot of this cross-promoting on my face book pages and blogs, so look me up any time.
I love creating new patterns and hope to bring them to you for another 45 years!
Thank You for allowing me to bring my love of crafts to you and to Craftsy!

I absolutely love making ripple blankets, but this time I wanted to make something slightly different. I suppose I was looking for a challenge instead of the same old same old, so I created this blanket. I call it Twisted Ripples, because that's exactly what it is. I think it came out fantastic and the best part is that it's not too hard to make. The effect is really fantastic and I'm sure you're going to love it as much as I do.
PS. I used 7 colors of yarn for this blanket. It also has a special edging that you wouldn't normally see on a ripple blanket.

Dispatched from the UK in 2 business days
Has globalization diluted the power of national governments to regulate their own economies? Are international governmental and nongovernmental organizations weakening the hold of nation-states on global regulatory agendas? Many observers think so. But in All Politics Is Global, Daniel Drezner argues that this view is wrong. Despite globalization, states--especially the great powers--still dominate international regulatory regimes, and the regulatory goals of states are driven by their domestic interests. As Drezner shows, state size still matters. The great powers--the United States and the European Union--remain the key players in writing global regulations, and their power is due to the size of their internal economic markets. If they agree, there will be effective global governance. If they don't agree, governance will be fragmented or ineffective. And, paradoxically, the most powerful sources of great-power preferences are the least globalized elements of their economies. Testing this revisionist model of global regulatory governance on an unusually wide variety of cases, including the Internet, finance, genetically modified organisms, and intellectual property rights, Drezner shows why there is such disparity in the strength of international regulations.show more

Review quote
"Rewarding... Mr. Drezner ... finds that the challenges of the future will be increasingly transnational. As globalization intensifies, the rewards for coordination will increase as well."--Economist "Important... Drezner shows that it is control of their own large domestic markets that give major states the ability to wield power in the global economy. His main contribution, however, is to explode a popular notion of globalization and thereby to set an agenda for the study of global regulatory politics."--G. John Ikenberry, Foreign Affairs "All politics is global is a highly readable, authoritative, and well-investigated piece of political science literature on the globalization-global governance nexus. The explicit strength of the book is the logical and consistent development of the theory of regulatory outcomes, as well as the rigorous review of the scholarly literature. In this respect, it is strongly recommended to advanced graduate and doctoral students interested in the setting-up of game-theoretical models... [T]he detailed case studies enhance the book's attractiveness for a broader readership."--Jale Tosun, Cambridge Review of International Affairs "Among the many strengths of the book lie Drezner's skill in developing a clear and cogent analysis of state power in the global economy and the meticulous way he develops his argument for the key role state preference continues to play in international regulatory regimes... Drezner never wearies in his task of refining our understanding of international regulation and in providing a more lucid insight into the politics of great power preference. The result is a book that challenges popular notions of globalization by placing the power and interests of governments back into the centre stage of debate."--Stephen G. Hughes, International Affairs "All Politics is Global is a more than just a welcome contribution to current international relations scholarship... Drezner takes a fresh look at the role of the powerful states in governing the world economy. Using simple game-theory, he provides a convincing explanation for why the great powers (the US and the EU) have not lost their influential role. In doing so, the book makes a strong case against a growing literature in international relations that attributes a significant degree of agency to international organizations or transnational private actors in shaping international regulatory outcomes."--World Trade Review "Drezner makes an important contribution to the literature by bringing greater focus to the regulatory side of global governance in a small book that is well worth reading... Drezner is to be credited for bringing a much needed discussion about the global politics of the regulatory state to the forefront of International Relations theory and practice."--Rex B. Hughes, International Affairs "This is a detailed, scholarly book that explicates the arcane aspects of regulatory agreements. It won't crack the popular market. However, it will percolate and influence because it also explains quite well the 'big picture' elements of global trade and global regulation."--Austin Bay, Time Record Newsshow more
Back cover copy
"In "All Politics Is Global," Daniel Drezner argues that states clearly retain the ability to influence and direct the world economy. He shapes his argument with clear and convincing points that he applies to areas ranging from international finance to the Internet. Despite globalization, he argues, the desires and capabilities of national states continue to define the contours of the world economic order. This careful study will be relevant to all those interested in understanding the interplay of international markets and international politics."--Jeffry Frieden, Harvard University "This important contribution to international relations theory will be of great interest to public policy practitioners--civil servants and their political masters--who find themselves today increasingly embroiled in international disputes over domestic issues. Drezner addresses with insight and in detail a welter of contemporary issues such as Internet governance and privacy, international finance and financial crises, genetically modified organisms, and the conflict between intellectual property and public health."--Kenneth W. Dam, former U.S. Deputy Secretary of State and Deputy Secretary of the Treasury "Daniel Drezner takes on a complicated question: who, if anyone, regulates the global economy? His answer: states with large markets, when those states act in concert. Drezner's study is theoretically and methodologically sophisticated. His use of case studies is honest and convincing. Along the way, there is a rich review of many literatures. "All Politics Is Global" shows the 'hows' and 'whys' of great-power regulation, and explains why it sometimes fails. Along the way, we learn a lot about the roles and futures of nonstate actors in the global economy. "All Politics Is Global" adds up to a major contribution to the literature of international political economy."--Henry S. Bienen, President of Northwestern University "The beauty and attraction of Drezner's work on global regulation stems from its bold attempt to apply classic international relations theory to a topic long dominated by legal scholars, economists, and sociologists. Drezner bravely offers a big-picture account of global regulation that is analytical and focused on a few fundamental questions. This is stimulating and original research on a very timely global issue. It is the sort of book I have long been looking for."--Walter Mattli, St. John's College, University of Oxford "Daniel Drezner's "All Politics Is Global" is original, compelling, and written with dazzling clarity. The controversies Drezner addresses push forward theoretical and policy debates that are vitally important. The conceptual and empirical core of the book is first-rate, the evidence and arguments of his case studies are fascinating, and the book fills an obvious gap in the literature."--Louis Pauly, University of Torontoshow more

LIVINGSTON MANOR — A Livingston Manor man was arrested Friday and charged with breaking into a well-drilling business in the hamlet on Thursday, state police said.
Frank Egan, 23, is accused of stealing unspecified items from the business.
He was charged with third-degree burglary, a felony, and petty larceny, a misdemeanor, and sent to Sullivan County Jail on $75,000 bail.
In May, Egan was among three people charged with using a flatbed tow-truck to steal a car in the Village of Liberty and trying to sell the car for scrap metal.

UPDATE: "The Flash" Hasn't Cast Savitar, Says Berlanti
TV, Comic Books
Okay, folks, here are the results!
Read on to see which entrant won!
First, here's how the results were decided.
In effect, there was a panel of four "people," with each "person" having an equal vote. The "people" were made up of different groups of judges.
The groups were:
1. Andy Diggle, the writer of the script (being the writer of the page in question, Andy got the biggest say).
2. The public ballots – a ton of you folks came out to vote! Thanks!
3. Comics Should Be Good bloggers/artists – Me, Bill Reed, Chad Nevett and Kelly Thompson, as well as two of our The Line It Is Drawn regular artists, Caanan Grall and Mic Magtanong.
4. A group of veteran comic book professionals. I wanted to have a nice mix of different specialties, so I asked the following to participate (and they were all kind enough to do so):
Blond – Awesome longtime colorist for DC, Marvel and Top Cow. Currently coloring Supergirl for DC (here's his website).
Keith Champagne – Cool writer and acclaimed inker (here's his website).
Chris Eliopoulos – Cool writer and artist and one of the greatest letterers in comic history (here's his website).
Bob Greenberger – Writer and a tremendously awesome editor for DC Comics for years (here's his website).
Ty Templeton – Acclaimed writer, penciler, inker – a veritable jack of all trades (here's his website)!
Each group had a composite "top five" (except Andy, of course, who just had his actual top five). You'd be amazed at the variety of the lists. Twenty-one different artists received at least one vote from a blogger or a pro. Ten different artists made it on to the composite top fives.
Once again, here's the page they were drawing:
1) The Killer FIRES right at us with the other Uzi; a deep perspective, in-yer-face image —
2) Batman DIVES through a narrow serving hatch which leads from the back of the living room into the kitchen; the trail of bullet impacts tracks him relentlessly —
3) Over the shoulder shot. The Killer aims into the darkened, open doorway of the kitchen. Blackness within.
4) Same angle. The Killer swings the weapon to the right, now aiming through the open bedroom doorway – straight at the BABY GIRL, who stands in her cot, watching quietly, oblivious as to what's about to happen…
5) The Killer FIRES – just as Batman SWINGS IN from the kitchen door-frame, KICKING the Uzi aside! It fires wild, up and away —
(off-panel right)
6) Batman delivers a powerful and precise STRAIGHT-LEG KICK, his body tilted back to line up perfectly along the line of force, delivering every foot-pound of pressure straight into the Killer's abdomen. The Killer flies back as if his butt was tied to a speeding car, the machine pistol spinning from his hand —
7) The Killer CRASHES back into a coffee table –
Here are the top five…
5. Dominike Stanton
4. Alfredo Lopez
3. Rebecca Gunter*
Rebecca was close to the top two, but the top two themselves were extremely close to each other, but the end result was…
2. Mannix Francisco
1. Gerard Straker
Other artists who received votes in the composite top fives were: Chris Fequiere, Daniel Flores, Peter Fodor, Noor Rahman and AJ Ryan.
Congrats to Gerard and all of the artists who entered! Thanks to our judges for their votes! Thanks to everyone who cast a ballot!
Keep an eye on this space for the announcement for the next Temptation's Page!
Awesome. I can't argue with those selections.
Congrats to the winners.
Great job by everyone and thanks to all the judges who helped choose the winners.
I can't wait for the next contest.
The next contest should be a 24 hour turn around 1 day 1 page. This was a lot of fun to do. Congrats to you guys awesome job.
It's way late on the east coast but I'm glad to be awake.
Thanks for the votes and considerations, I'm honored to be in the top 3! A big congrats to Gerard Straker, to all the mentioned artists, and especially to those who learned what will make their pages rock even harder next round.
Until next time!
Interesting. Congrats to the top 5.
I would happily pay 4 bucks a month for books drawn by these artists. Are they working professionaly? If so, I'd appreciate if someone could provide some of the title names. If not, DC & Marvel, wake up!
I don't mean to hate on any of the winners. because they made a tremendous effort with their pages, but the one I thought was obviously gonna get the most votes (and shockingly didn't) was this entry:
Whoever drew that has a much better grasp of time and movement than every single other entry for this competition. I feel like the people who voted in the comments weren't REALLY paying attention to the intricacies of sequential story telling and the dynamics of body-motion, because if so, this page would have gotten alot more attention.
Again, i'm not saying the winners were bad. but there's definitely a greenness to them that Davinder Brar's page DIDN'T have.
I think the winners deserved it. I'm happy to just be mentioned. i cannot wait for the next one. Super excited now.
Congrats to the winners, again.
Congrats to the winners!
AJ Ryan, you were my top horse. Let's get 'em next time!
Very nice. I agree that the results were very satisfying, and I'd just like to note how organized the voting was, so thank you to all the four groups. I was slightly skeptical about how the voting would carry out, but you guys definitely did a great job in deciding the finalists. With that said, congrats to Gerard Striker on his fantastic page =]
Hope to see you all next month.
@Brian Cronin Thanks for organizing this whole event, as there were A LOT of people who enthusiastically participated, and are waiting for more. I know that the next contest will be posted on the temptations page, but is there a certain date you intend to post next months contest?
Congrats to the winners! I didn't enter but I kept coming back to see who won and to look at all the great artwork! Maybe a poll would be easier next time?! Can't wait for the next contest!
@Keith Champagne:
Wow, I just….wow.
Thank you so much.
The next round is gonna be great!
My top horse was Rebecca Gunter and I am glad to see she did so well.
I want to see her drawing Birds of Prey every month.
@Daniel His was my fave too.
Congratulations! Can't wait for the next page.
Congrats to the winners!
I thought it'll be a typical "who has more friends" voting contest, but no, it's a very good judging system.
Oh, sorry.
Anonymous = Peter Fodor
Maybe a poll would be easier next time?!
Polls worry me because they're easier to flood with votes. It's one thing for people to get a link and just click on a button, it's a whole other thing to get a link and then actually fill out a ballot with five people's names on it. The latter requires enough extra effort that I think you get more "honest" votes.
I'd rather a few hundred well-thought-out ballots than a few thousand quick clicks (at least for something like this, where you're judging people who put a lot of time and effort into their art).
Daniel, sorry to disagree with you, but personally, my two 'stand-out' entries were Flores and Stanton: Flores for his two panel 'looking over the shoulder of the psycho" [which was an excellent example of panel to panel] and his bold spot blacking, and Stanton for that unbelievable kick in the middle panel [I did vote for Brar, at third place I think]. It's funny how much personal taste differs; my 'top ten writers and artists' [for the big CBR vote a couple of months ago] was a very different list from the final tally.
At the end of the day, I don't make a living out of comicbook art, and I'm happy to say that the top five are all excellent entries, and they deserve the kudos that they get from a fair judging system that involved both the fanboys like myself, and -importantly- the pros. Congrats to all involved- it's a brave thing entering a contest like this [I didn't], and you've all done bang-up jobs.
@Daniel and @Jackson Edge Thanks for the kind words, guys. I'm glad my work caught your eye. Not placing this time just gives me more motivation to work even harder in the next round.
Speaking of which, I'm looking forward to see what you do with the next page, Jackson.
Congrats to the Top 5!!
Shout-out to Steve Broome and Davinder Brar!
Big, big thanks to Brian Cronin for hosting this amazing contest! Can't wait to see the next one!
Wow! Top 5!?
I literally thumbed and penciled the page the night before it was due for fun! Wasn't expecting to make top 5!
Thanks to all who voted! There were a lot of good entries! Looks like I'll have to take off the gloves and actually try next time!!

Hey Brian, it's nearing the end of the month, are we going to have another contest?
I really hope this contest continues, it was a lot of fun to be a part of.
I agree, but looks like there won't be a contest for this month.. =( It was fun while it lasted though =]

I'm not going to lie I was very excited at first, he kept assuring us how fun and easy the job would be and that we wouldn't be fired unless we stole from the company or showed up to work under the influence of drugs or alcohol. These conditions sounded fair to me and I knew I'd be able to comply with the rules. He informed us that we would all be hired on the spot that day which struck me as strange considering there was about 10 of us and he hadn't really gotten the chance to get to know us individually. However I didn't mind and I filled out all the paperwork and was on my way.
On my availability I noted that I wouldn't be available for breaks because at the time I was a full time student going to school out of state and I always went home for breaks. Some time passed but finally a manager called and we worked out a time when I could train. I trained once a week for three weeks (5 hours a day for a total of 15 hours) at one location but I was to start work at another location. My manager texted me asking when I would be able to work and I told him but I let him know the exact dates I was going to be out of town. Our schedule was sent to us in an e-mail however I noticed I was scheduled to work when I wasn't going to be in town. I sent an e-mail back to my manager but I got no response. Finally I informed my new manager that I wouldn't be able to come into work on the days scheduled but she told me the schedule was already made but I told her I couldn't make it and no correspondence occurred after that.
I went into work for my first shift at the new location and was scheduled to work with another employee who was hired at the same time I was. We had never worked together, never worked at that location, and had only worked a few times so it was pretty rocky without a manager there. Luckily the employee I was working with knew the manager personally so he was able to call her to help us close.
I left for my break and two days after I came back my manager leaves me a voicemail letting me know I've been fired. I didn't mind since from her response to me telling her I wasn't going to be able to come into work, I kind of expected it.
After a week I go back and pick up my paycheck and leave. When I'm home I open the paycheck to find a handwritten check for a measly $24. I was very confused and didn't understand how 20 hours of work amounted to $24. I went in the next day hoping to speak face to face with a manager but the only person working couldn't help me. I contacted the manager I trained under if he put in my hours and he said he did, when I asked him why my paycheck was only $24 he didn't respond. I contacted my other manager and she informed me she couldn't answer my questions since she didn't write the paycheck. She gave me the number of the general manager who informed me that payday was the next day and to check back to see if it would be there then.
Of course when I went in the next day my paycheck wasn't there. Finally I get the number of the "big guy" in charge. He tells me that they don't pay for training. I inform him that even if that was the case I didn't get paid the full amount for my day of work. $4.80 is certainly not minimum wage in any state. He told me that I would get my paycheck in the mail yet a month later I still haven't received my money. What really worries me is that I was never given a timeclock number so there is no physical record of me even being at work for those 20 hours.
If you're thinking of working for this company PLEASE reconsider. They are extremely shady and will try to screw you over any way they can. I just wish I would have known this beforehand so I wouldn't have wasted a month of my time employed for this corrupt company.

hello...I have the same problem. I added two pictures and it made the sidebar go down....so I removed the pictures and the sidebar is not going back.
Any idea on how to put the sidebar back?
Also, when I add pictures in the future...how do you know how big/small to make it so that it does not mess up the sidebar again?
website is http://www.playfulpetsplayground.com
it does not seem to matter what template I use...the sidebar skips down the the bottom of the page.
is there like an autoresize feature lmao
that would be really useful
