With the neoliberal policy approach in retreat, how has the ongoing restructuring of the economies of Latin America been impacted by the surging growth of the Chinese economy?
It is hypothesized that China's impact is of a two-fold nature:
1. China's rapid expansion is based, to some extent, on a dynamic capacity to export.
These exports have directly affected Latin American economies in several areas:
i. Food and related items; crowding out Latin America's cultivators in several areas.
ii. simple manufactured products; forcing Latin America's already besieged manufacturers to retrench, cut wages (further) and to abandon productive activities thus deepening deindustrialization trends that began in the early 1980s.
iii. more advanced manufacturing products; causing electronics firms to abandon production or slow growth in this sector. This effect is/will take a new form as Chinese made autos debut in Mexico and other nations in 2008.
iv. raw material-based manufactured products;--such as steel--are facing weaker demands than would be expected because Chinese buyers have a strong preference for the purchase of raw materials. As higher value-added activities are shifted to China, Latin
America faces forced "specialization" in primary products
2. China's rapid expansion is based, to some extent, on the capacity to import raw materials from Latin America
These imports have directly affected Latin America in several areas:
i. Food and fodder imports such as soy products have led to booms in rural areas of Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and other nations creating an uneven pattern of economic recovery and expansion that is highly dependent on external forces. At the same time, in the view of many observers, China's new role as a massive importer has caused prices of basic food products to rise and conditions of scarcity to occur for some commodities, giving rise to what has been termed the "Global Food Crisis".
ii. Extraordinarily high demands for minerals and fuels have created a mining and resource boom. Chinese Direct Foreign Investment has flowed into Latin America restructuring channels of foreign influence and control. U.S. dominance in the region may be retracting. The boom in Chinese investment potentially allows agile nations to enhancing their bargaining with foreign entities as the Chinese compete with major resource investors such as the US, Canada, Australia and others. This boom has created vast economic rents that are largely appropriated by foreign-owned corporations who repatriate then to "center" nations. Royalties and taxes from these investments have been modest or minimal, while States have done little to channel such windfalls into the expansion of the productive base of their nation.
iii. Important indirect effects are to be noted in Mexico, Central America and other areas, such as the Caribbean where maquiladora type operations, particularly in textiles and related labor-intensive low skill operations, but now in auto-parts, are either closing or cutting wage costs to remain competitive in the US market, or other export markets. China's impact has led to a sea-change in Mexico--and perhaps elsewhere--with many policymakers no longer searching for Direct Foreign Investments involving maquila-style operations.
3. China's new role may have been important in the derailment of US plans for enhanced hegemony, particularly via the FTAA, while it may provide an opening for substantially new configurations at the political and economic level, nationally and internationally:
There is considerable sympathy among many developing countries for the Chinese foreign policy doctrine of the Four No's as proclaimed in April 2004 by the President Hu Jintao: no hegemonism, no power politics, no arms races and no military alliances. For many countries of the 'Global South' this new strategic doctrine for China's peaceful rise is favorable for mutual confidence and international cooperation, as well as preventing Cold War-like international conflicts and confrontations. Moreover, next to various negative effects on specific countries and sectors, China's expansive insertion into the global economy creates important economic South-South relations that help many developing countries to diversify their trade and investment partners, and diminish their dependency on a limited number of (still protected) markets such as the US market.
The joint efforts of Brazil, China, India, South Africa and the other members of the G20 at the 2003 Cancun summit of the World Trade Organization (WTO) and subsequent meetings of the WTO have been remarkable. For the first time since the start of the debt crisis in the 1980s there has been genuine South-South cooperation that has changed the direction of global politics and the evolution of the global trading regime. Economically, it might be hypothesized that, Latin America and China overall gain substantially from one another in the form of South-South trade and investment.
However, as noted in 2 (iii) above, depending on the type of insertion in the global economy, for some Latin American countries the losses from Chinese competition are bigger than the gains from this new export destination and source of foreign investment.
4. China's new role is underwriting the economic boom that is shaping, or could shape, the socioeconomic policies of the left/nationalist governments of Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Ecuador, Paraguay, Uruguay and Venezuela.
As a sign of the increasing desire in the region to find alternatives to trading with the US, several other South American nations, such as Venezuela and Argentina, have been strengthening their economic relations with Asia, particularly with China. In May 2004, Lula visited China with 18 ministers and some 500 representatives from all sectors of Brazilian business and industry. Shortly afterwards, Kirchner visited China with a team of ministers and 270 business people from Argentina. Then, in late December 2004, Chavez visited China, which was followed in January 2005 by the signing of some 19 different agreements between Venezuela and China. These agreements involve joint ventures in oil, agriculture and technology, and include extensive Chinese investments in oil and gas exploration in Venezuela. The US government is likely worried about the domino effect of this increasing tendency toward independent trade policies and trade with China.
5. Possible Articles:
(These are suggestions not intended to preclude other themes)
i. A series of national-specific articles, particularly three, each focusing on (a) Brazil, (b) Argentina and (c) Mexico dealing with the range of China's impacts and possible ways of channeling these impacts in a constructive manner.
ii. A broad article focusing on the multilateral issues involved be they with regard to the WTO, the World Bank, the IMF or other areas. At the same time, ideally, such an article would scrutinize the Bolivarian attempts, developments within Mercosur, NAFTA and any other hemispheric initiative/structure that was not strictly a national formation.
iii. A theoretical article that would look at the rising terms of trade for Latin America caused primarily by the commodities boom driven in the first instance by China and to a lesser degree by India.
iv. A theoretical piece focusing on dependency analysis and neoliberalism showing us how to best interpret the China boom in a broad theoretical formulation.
v. A critical article on China that focuses on China's foreign economic policy, the history of China's involvement in Latin America, China's Latin American strategy, and China's conceivable future role in Latin America with a focus on its implications and socioeconomic impacts particularly on Latin America's working class, the peasantry and the informal sector workers.

I love this product. It wipes out my arthritis better than the regular drugs! I just wish it was a little less expensive.
I am glad I did not order the larger quantity of Kaprex. I had no positive results after using the product for a week. I subsequently had to use a prescription anti-inflammatory drug.
Great ProductThis product works! I have told several of my friends about it. It is great for getting rid of arthritis pain.Was this review helpful to you?

ATLANTA (AP) - The Hampton Pirates didn't play like a "third-rated team" in the Heritage Bowl.
Spurred by Southern coach Pete Richardson's comment that his Southwest Athletic Conference champions were facing a third-rated team in Saturday's game at the Georgia Dome, the Pirates avenged a regular-season loss by beating the Jaguars 24-3 with a defense that produced six turnovers, including three interceptions by Vincent Lewis.
Richardson wasn't about to use his remark as an excuse for the way his team was dominated.
"I didn't say anything that wasn't true," Richardson said. "They still finished third in the MEAC, and that's not going to change."
Hampton (8-4) indeed was third in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference race, but the two teams that finished ahead of them, conference champion North Carolina A&T and runner-up Florida A&M, each competed in the NCAA Division I-AA playoffs.
The SWAC doesn't send a team to the playoffs for two reasons - a late-season showdown between Southern and Grambling that is always nationally televised from the Louisiana Superdome and the advent of the SWAC championship game this year.
Southern won both those games in the two weeks before the Heritage, beating Grambling 37-31 and then Jackson State 31-30 in the title game.
"We had an emotional ride," Richardson said, adding that no matter which SWAC team makes it to the Heritage, it will be coming off an emotional conference championship game.
"No excuses," he added. "They just executed better than we did."
And although Richardson insisted his remark wasn't intended to downgrade Hampton, the Pirates kept hearing about it all week.
"We finished third, which was what he meant," Hampton coach Joe Taylor said, adding with a grin. "However, we did use it."
"We had a chip on our shoulder," Hampton quarterback Roy Johnson said. "We proved we were a lot better team than we were the last time we played them."
In the regular-season game at Indianapolis in October, the Jaguars (11-2) posted a 21-6 victory.
"We were hearing that quote in our sleep," said Adrian Wideman, who had two touchdowns on receptions of 11 yards from Montell Coley and 7 yards from Johnson. "It definitely was embedded in us. Since we also lost to them earlier in the season, they didn't respect us at all."
Southern's only score came on a 33-yard field goal by Justin Mattingly with 11 seconds left in the first half after the Pirates turned the ball over on a high snap to the punter.

In this conversation about book history and the media revolution, scholars consider how current transformations in the production, circulation and consumption of books map onto earlier historical periods.
In debates today, books are sometimes represented as organic objects under threat from new media technologies and the reading practices these foster. But to what extent do such contrasts between an idealized past and threatening present hold up to scrutiny?

Stanley Lumax, JPRA '99, details the growth of his passion for photography though pictures of the cameras he has owned.
From his first point-and-shoot to his first SLR camera, Lumax showed these photos, as well as some of the work he created with them, to Professor Ed Trayes' photojournalism students Feb. 22.
Lumax is the global cultural director at the Anomaly advertising agency in New York, where he is responsible for learning how best to market to customers around the world. He owns Stoneface Photography (named after his fraternity nickname), through which he has shot images for Nike, Converse, Sprite and more.
He told the students that Trayes' class "literally changed my life." It was when his camera became an everyday accessory.
"I left my dorm room every day with a third arm," Lumax said.
It was the constant presence of his camera that helped take his photography to a new level. Early in his career, while working as an account executive and Wieden and Kennedy, he took pictures at a Nike event and sent them as to his clients as a courtesy. His photos resonated with Nike, who asked him to be the shooter on their new advertising campaign. He travelled the five boroughs of New York to find people who could represent the Nike brand. Lumax came across athletes of all races on the sidewalks and playgrounds of the city. He said the campaign resonated well with the New York audience.
"They weren't used to seeing people who looked like them in Nike ads," he said.
Lumax describes his photography as raw and journalistic. He doesn't spend too much time setting up a shoot or editing photos afterward. "It's about capturing the moment when it happens."
And sometimes those moments are harder to get than others.
Lumax described several shoots during which he had to capture still images as a television commercial was being filmed. To stay out of the way, he hid behind cars and other set pieces as he worked.
"Photography is second to film in advertising," he said.
Much of the photography Lumax shared with the class was shot out of pure passion for the art. And one image was the fulfillment of a challenge Trayes presented to Lumax and his classmates – capturing a shot of a high-rise window washer from inside of the building. Lumax proudly unveiled an image of window washers at work outside of his South African hotel room.
"Twenty years later, here you are Dr. Trayes," he said. "I did it."

text: | 2 Comments After all the thrills in 2011 we are getting closer to 2012. Citizen journalists were more than active in 2011. Lots of events, turmoil around the world and numerous positive events offered topics to report, which citizens used best they could. Between Arab spring, Royal wedding, Japan tsunami, UK riots, Occupy movement and so on, list is really too long, citizen journalists built their skills, ethics, experience and connections. It was actually fascinating to see how citizens can climb in media from unwanted phenomenon to a necessary one. As much as democracy was on the test, worldwide, it was the people who gave their best to coordinate, cooperate and communicate with each other and the rest of the world. Some communities showed their strength, some initiative. When their democratic rights as citizens and humans were denied, like Internet ban or iPhone use ban, they managed to find the way out. They acted as professionals. And those are the actions which the audience appreciated. Also, numerous new platforms were launched, inviting and gathering citizen journalism crowd. Some schools and Universities decided to include both social media and citizen journalism as part of their new educational program. New organisations from all around the world train and teach people how to join and become part of this amazing thing called citizen media. But when we look back I suppose we all remember those breaking dangerous situations. This year has no lack of them. And speaking of it, we all wish to start next year with better events, happier and stronger. Good thing is that we already expect Olympic Games in London 2012 as one of crucial events for citizen journalists. Their skills and presence will be of great importance. So we can hope and wait some amazing citizen journalism Olympic coverage, like it was during Vancouver Olympics 2010 and FIFA World Cup 2010 South Africa. Major sports events that bring together sports fans and give place citizens to highlight their talents during the games. We have all the reasons to hope and look forward next year. Because citizen journalism family is growing, rapidly.

From FinViz, here's the Euro vs. the dollar:
It's not totally clear what's behind the move, but a WSJ report about how Greek creditors were at "loggerheads" may be a culprit.
It could be something else. Spanish yields are also notably higher on the day.
As noted earlier, the drop in the euro is part of a broader "risk off" move.
According to the article, China is recasting all of their gold reserves into small one kilo bars in order to issue a new "gold-backed" currency. Many say this will disrupt global trade and will eventually cause a collapse of the US dollar.
There can be no doubt that the US dollar will soon be history. China is recasting all of their gold reserves into small one kilo bars in order to issue a new 'gold backed' global currency. This is surely a strategic part of their recent push to sign new trade agreements with Russia, Japan, Chile, Brazil, India, and Iran. The cat is now out of the bag, the US will be given the 'bums rush' by the largest trading nations in the world and the dollar will go down in flames. GATA now estimates that 80% of the gold that investors believe they have in allocated accounts is long gone, the majority of it probably wound up in China.

Psalm 122
Song of Praise and Prayer for Jerusalem
A Song of Ascents. Of David.
1I was glad when they said to me,
'Let us go to the house of the Lord!'
2Our feet are standing
within your gates, O Jerusalem.
3Jerusalem—built as a city
that is bound firmly together.
4To it the tribes go up,
the tribes of the Lord,
as was decreed for Israel,
to give thanks to the name of the Lord.
5For there the thrones for judgement were set up,
the thrones of the house of David.
6Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
'May they prosper who love you.
7Peace be within your walls,
and security within your towers.'
8For the sake of my relatives and friends
I will say, 'Peace be within you.'
9For the sake of the house of the Lord our God,
I will seek your good.

Erie-area regiment, artillery unit fought at Battle of Chattanooga
Union Army troops launched attacks in the Civil War's Battle of Chattanooga that would ultimately send defeated Confederate troops retreating southward into Georgia.
An Erie-area Union Army regiment -- the 111th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry -- and about 50 troops from Erie County who composed half of a Union artillery battery, saw extensive fighting in the pivotal battle -- a Union victory, which was fought from Nov. 23 to Nov. 25, 1863.
"It broke the back of the Confederate Army of Tennessee,'' said George Deutsch, an Erie native and Civil War historian who lives in Catonsville, Md.
"It cleared the Confederates off the Tennessee River and allowed Ulysses Grant to send Gen. Sherman to Knoxville to relieve the siege there,'' he said. "That cleared Tennesse of all Confederate troops and set the stage for Sherman's decisive 1864 campaign against Atlanta.''

Will The AQ Wreak Havoc Or Reap Parity?
By Nelson Coffin
Getting into the men's Division I NCAA postseason this spring as a non-aligned school is going to be about as easy as shoehorning Rosie O'Donnell into a pair of Britney Spears' capri hotpants. Yep, the squeeze is on big-time due to the newly implemented, and highly controversial, automatic qualification rule. The new law of D-I land is putting pressure on the best programs to avert a worst-case scenario of being shutout from an invitation to a playoff party that used to be a birthright. Now, it will be a mad scramble for the league-less to fill six of the dozen slots not already glommed by the respective winners of the America East, Ivy League, ECAC, Patriot League, MAAC and Great Western.
Think about it. That means Johns Hopkins, Virginia, Maryland, Syracuse, Loyola, Towson, Hofstra, and Duke will play musical chairs for spots in the big dance with potential league second-place finishers, Cornell, Navy or UMass, while Stony Brook or Quinnipiac secures a bid as the Northeast Conference kingpin. "I don't believe in the automatic qualifier," Johns Hopkins Coach Dave Pietramala said in no uncertain terms. "It makes March like May. If you don't win games early, you're in a lot of trouble." Pietramala's pronouncement rang true even more after the weekend dust settled, since it appears that two of last year's Final Four combatants are in big trouble. Towson's 15-7 loss to Loyola and Yale's 15-13 shocker at Princeton have shaken both programs to their core and put a damper on postseason expectations.
That emphasis on early showdowns does have some advantages. Fans are treated to opening contests with more than bragging rights at stake. Every game is meaningful for the independents. On the other hand, putting too much stock in the stick version of March Madness could come back to haunt a team. "It puts a sense of urgency on everything you do," said Syracuse Coach John Desko, whose Orangemen needed OT to turn away Brown on Saturday. "Any little mistake can cost you. You want to get off to a good start, but you don't want to peak too early, either."
The situation is worse at D-III, or at least it was last year when Washington & Lee went 14-1 and was denied a postseason bid. That lone loss came to Hampden-Sydney, giving the Tigers the ODAC title in a huge upset. There was no playoff format in the ODAC. There is this year. That particular lesson was learned, but conference is king in D-III. "I'm all for the automatic qualifier if it doesn't come at the expense of a quality team," said then-W&L Coach Jim Stagnitta, now trying to turn around Rutgers in Division I after going 136-42 for the Generals. "The problem is it that it creates a scenario where you're not allowed to have a bad day. You don't really get an opportunity to learn from your mistakes that way."
The entire issue might have been avoided had bracket expansion been included in the AQ. This year the men's D-III did just that by unfurling to a 16-team format format, up from 14. At-large hopefuls will have only four openings, although two of them could come from power conferences like the ODAC to avoid another W&L nightmare. Division I could follow suit as early as 2003.
Virginia Coach Dom Starsia was on the committee that drew up the D-I plan, with less than gentle urging from the NCAA. Coercion might be too strong of a word. It also might be accurate. "A directive came down from the NCAA," said Starsia, whose team escaped with an 11-10 victory over Maryland Saturday. "Our NCAA rep told us it was going to be imposed on us. We felt that AQ and bracket expansion would be a best-case scenario." The latter never happened, however, leaving the big schools with big problems. "As a coach at the University of Virginia, this was not going to be a good thing for us," noted Starsia. "But there was a bigger picture here that we had to deal with, and that is that it would be better for the bottom 30 teams." Starsia elaborated on the issue. "The Patriot League, the new America East and the MAAC members were all in favor of the AQ," the coach continued. "In the long run it can be good for us, too, because it may stop a program from folding. Some of those schools now have something [an NCAA bid] to look forward to. And it's a plum for schools like Hobart and Army." And, in Starsia's view, anything that will keep, say, a New Hampshire or Vermont afloat is good for the sport.
It makes sense. Even though this old Indian game is rapidly expanding at the youth and prep levels and women's programs are proliferating (Northwestern, Stanford, Vanderbilt are the most recent major college additions), casualties like North Carolina State and Michigan State on the men's side still hurt.
As far as tournament expansion in D-I goes, or D-II or D-III for that matter, the more the merrier. Yet there's nothing merry about what's ahead for some teams this season. Just consider Towson's loss to unbeaten Loyola Saturday after dropping its other "big" games to Maryland and Virginia. A third setback to a top-10 opponent could probably means Coach Tony Seaman's Tigers will be watching others play in May. "Every game is a big game," said Seaman. "But the Loyola game for us now is about as big as they'll come. We can't lose another game."
Last year Towson captured the America East title, a trick it can't repeat because of its new affiliation with the Colonial Athletic Association. The CAA has not been sanctioned for AQ status this spring. "I think it would have been fine if we had 16 teams," said Seaman about the playoff prospects. "Maybe we should have those [weaker] conferences play-in for the 12th spot this year. That way, three or four deserving teams won't get left out."
They're sporting the new REBEL/STX Uniforms!
Even Division III's Villa Julie Coach Skeet Chadwick, whose team can prosper because it has yet to lose a PAC contest, doesn't buy all the way in to the plan. "I have mixed emotions," said the former W&L All-America goalie. "I understand what they're trying to do, but it should be the best 16 teams in the playoffs and I don't think you'll have that." In D-I, supply and demand are all out of whack for the at-large squads. "You talk to any D-I at-large coach and they're all looking at their schedules wondering where the W's are going to come from," said Starsia. "I can see how Tony [Seaman] feel likes he's under a lot of pressure.
The rule is not limited to the men's game. The women are in the same boat. The AQ is good for some and not so good for others. For instance, Towson Coach Linda Ohrin is thrilled to be in the hunt for a CAA playoff tourney bid. Her Tigers (4-3, 2-2) only have to finish among the top six of the nine league members in order to make the CAA tourney. The winner gets the AQ and one of 16 NCAA slots, half of which go to at-large squads. "It creates a situation where an underdog program can make it in," said Ohrin, trying to hold on to fifth place in the CAA. "This is our only shot and we have nothing to lose."
Hopkins Coach Janine Tucker is on the other side of the fence, at least this year. The Jays' request for an AQ as a member of the American Lacrosse Conference was denied by the NCAA, despite the governing body allowing Georgetown to qualify last year under similar circumstances. The ALC will be AQ-challenged in its first year of operation. Nevertheless, Tucker thinks the rule is good. "I'd rather have two shots at the NCAA [playoffs] than one," she noted. The system will still yield uncertainty for fans and many deserving teams, whose postseason dreams plummet every time a conference favorite is knocked off and forced into the at-large sweepstakes.
Regardless, the AQ is A-OK with the NCAA. It's here to stay. "What may be good for the game in the long run may not be good from a competitive standpoint right now," said Jody Martin, US Lacrosse Men's Division Director. "There's a trend to lend credence to conference championships. But that should go hand-in-hand with expansion."

|Place of origin:
|The Abominable Snowmen
|Main actor:
|Norman Jones
Khrisong was the leader of the warrior monks at Det-Sen Monastery. He helped the Second Doctor fight the Great Intelligence's robot Yeti.
When the Doctor and his companions first arrived at the monastery, Khrisong suspected their involvement in the deaths of Edward Travers' colleague and four monks. Against the wishes of some of the more peaceful monks he imprisoned the Doctor and then tied him up in front of the monastery gate to see what the Yeti would do to him. He was forced to release the Doctor when Thonmi brought a message from the Abbot. He still mistrusted the Doctor and his friends, but grew to trust the Doctor and worked with him to protect the monastery.
When Songsten ordered the monks to leave the monastery for their safety, Khrisong refused to leave his post. It was only after Rinchen was killed by a Yeti that he agreed to leave. Upon learning that the Intelligence was controlling the Yeti from the monastery, he went to rescue Songsten and Padmasambhava from the inner sanctum. He was stabbed and killed by Songsten while the latter was under the Intelligence's control. (TV: The Abominable Snowmen)

A New Nobody Gets the Girl Review
For a book that's been out for almost 8 years, Nobody is still getting the occasional review. Here's the latest by DarkCargo. And, 8 years on, I'm still tickled when I see people talking about my book!
Tuesday, July 5, 2011
Progress report
Wow, over a month since my last post. What can I say? I've been working hard on the second draft of Hush. Sunday I sent out chapters 9 and 10 of the book to my wise-readers, bringing me to the mid-point of the book. My plan is to be done with the second draft by the end of July, though things might spill over into the first week of August.
The second draft is flowing much better than the first draft did. I've still got a lot of work left for the third draft, but at least I'm no longer fighting the drowsiness and low energy levels I was facing during the winter when my thyroid condition hadn't yet been diagnosed. My latest bloodwork still had my thyroid levels a bit low, but I feel normal again. I can sit and type for two hours without needing a nap. My dosage for my medication has been tweaked even higher starting this week, and I'm excited about the possibility that maybe in the months ahead I can crank out two to three chapters a week plus a blog post as well.
In other news, my class on ebook publishing at the Orange County Library was well-recieved and I've been invited back for a second class on writing, "How to Get Past the First Chapter and Finish Your Novel." It's going to be on Saturday October 8 at 10am. Call the Orange County Library at 919-245-2536 or email Jessica Arnold at firstname.lastname@example.com to sign up for this free class.
Finally, Greatshadow is already available for preorder on Amazon! No cover yet, but still pretty amazing. January 2012 is going to be here before I know it.

The 8 cm DVD-R mini-disc Slim
April 6, 2006 The 8 cm DVD-R mini-disc is growing in popularity with the advent of the DVD camcorder, so we thought it was worth showing the latest incarnation of the miniature media – the 8 cm DVD-R mini-disc Slim. At half the thickness of other mini DVD-Rs, these new media will take up less of your precious camera-case space, and the reduced material costs means half the weight so they ship for the price of one 39-cent stamp. The savings appear to be passed on to the consumer in several ways, as the manufacturer's suggested retail price for the mini DVD-R Slim is aggressively set at US$1.00 per disc, much lower than current market prices.

Gorgeous Lumahai Beach, just beyond the western edge of the bay, has starred in countless movies, among them South Pacific, but is far too treacherous for swimming in winter. All the roadside beaches from here on, however, are good for snorkelling. The road finally comes to an end at Kee Beach, perhaps the most delightful spot of all, with safe inshore swimming.

During their whirlwind courtship 37 years ago, Edward Marshall Boehm promised Helen Francesca Stefanie Franzolin, "You're going to see the world, be free and do what you please." At the time, she recalls, "He had no idea how it was going to happen." Ed Boehm was then a 31-year-old Air Force private. He turned out to be a breeder of exotic birds, championship cattle and racehorses and a sculptor of fine porcelain. As he predicted, his widow, Helen (Ed died in 1969 of a heart attack), does just as she pleases. At 59, she can well afford to. She is the sole owner and overseer of Boehm (pronounced "beam") Porcelain, the company the couple founded in 1950 with a $1,000 loan. This year retail sales should top $35 million.
She has personally presented delicate Boehm figures to seven U.S. Presidents, three Popes, Princess Grace of Monaco and Sweden's King Carl XVI Gustaf. Boehm's latest coup: supplying the First Family's personal china. Although not as expensive as the controversial state china being purchased from Lenox Inc. for more than $200,000, the Reagan family service for 24, which Boehm will deliver next month, is hardly dime-store stuff. It costs about $200 per nine-piece place setting, and the Reagans are paying for it personally. "The White House china is a great honor," declares Boehm. A cheaper version will eventually be put on public sale.
Boehm has long had connections in the White House. When President Richard Nixon made his historic 1972 visit to China, he presented Mao Tse-tung with a Boehm sculpture of swans entitled Birds of Peace. The birds were so lifelike that Chairman Mao turned to an aide and asked, "Why is President Nixon bringing me stuffed swans?" (Five years later an identical set of Boehm swans sold at auction in London for $150,000.) Prince Charles was equally impressed with the delicate floral sculpture when he visited Boehm's studios in Malvern, England in 1979. Marveled HRH: "Only the fragrance is missing." This summer Helen's wedding gift to Charles and Di was a porcelain arrangement of roses, orange blossoms and forget-me-nots.
Helen Boehm, who closely supervises the work of her art department, says she is guided by her husband's "perfectionist" spirit. Since his death (they had no children) she has enlarged the main studio in Trenton, N.J. and added the English operation, which specializes in bone-china flowers. Boehm pieces—ranging in price from $18 for a dessert plate to $35,000 for a limited-edition Prince Rudolph's Bird of Paradise—now sell in nine countries. They are also exhibited in the Tel Aviv Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the Vatican.
Born in Brooklyn, Helen was the youngest of an Italian immigrant's seven children. She was an optician (who once sold a pair of sunglasses to Clark Gable) when she met Ed Boehm in 1944. They married two months later, and after World War II he became a veterinarian's assistant. But sculpting wildlife in porcelain was his true passion. Helen tried, with limited success, to peddle his work to stores up and down Fifth Avenue. Then in 1957 President Eisenhower presented a Boehm sculpture of a polo-playing Prince Philip to Queen Elizabeth II. "The skies opened up," remembers Helen. "It was a great endorsement."
These days she shares her 10-acre New Jersey estate with 47-year-old Boehm president Frank J. Cosentino, "a very special gentleman in my life." He lives in a guest house on the grounds. A car enthusiast, Helen keeps two Rolls-Royces—a 1937 Yellow Phantom III and a 1973 Corniche—at her condo in Palm Beach. In New Jersey, she makes do with a chauffeured Cadillac limo and a 450SL Mercedes sports coupé.
Boehm attributes the company's success to a winning combination. "Ed and I joined our ABCs: Ability, the Breaks that came our way, and the Courage to start in something we knew little about."

"Dear Janice: Does any restaurant in Western New York serve ostrich steak and/or burgers?
"Also, do you know where we could get bison burgers? Thanks."
-- Moe S.
How times change, Moe. There was a time not so long ago when ostrich was all the rage. Stories about the health benefits of the gawky bird, with its hearty taste and low fat content, turned up everywhere. So did ostrich farms. So did menu offerings.
Now it's hard to find it in Western New York, at least not on a regular basis, although ostrich medallions are pretty much always on the menu at the Red Coach Inn, 2 Buffalo Ave., in Niagara Falls, a restaurant with a great location on the rapids and a luxurious old-timey ambience. The medallions are served with fruit, goat cheese and walnuts.
It's the same story with bison -- big hype at first, great health benefits, little availability now. Yes, sigh, even here in the Nickel City.
At the Soho Burger Bar, though, you can get a Bisonburger, done the way you want it.
And just in case you don't know what city you're sitting in -- the burger comes on kummelweck.
More (somewhat) exotic stuff? How do you feel about tripe? Some people love it; many people hate it. If you're in the former category, you should know that a bowl of Honeycomb Tripe (which is the best) is offered at Marotto's, 3365 Delaware Ave., Kenmore. It comes with a light red sauce and thin spaghetti.
And Chef's, 291 Seneca St., will serve you tripe, too. But only on Wednesdays.
Octopus? Sure, it's a cousin of all-too-common calamari, but some diners think it's exotic, and it's on the very cusp of trend nationwide. You can order polpo at Hispanic family restaurants like Papi's, 690 Hertel Ave., where it is stuffed with mofongo (seasoned mashed plantains).
Or you can get it sushi-style at Kuni's, 226 Lexington Ave., as well as at many other sushi bars.
You can get it in a dish called Strozzapreti -- in hand-rolled pasta at Oliver's, 2095 Delaware Ave. You can see what I mean -- it's going mainstream. When octopus turns up at Mickey D's though -- forget it.
Wild boar? San Marco, 2082 Kensington Ave., Amherst, features Cinghiale ala Brace, in which the meat is marinated with juniper berries, grilled and served with Barolo wine sauce.
Quail? San Marco again. Quaglie del Contadino is sauteed with cognac and served with mushroom sauce.
Goat? Try Jamaican Island Style Restaurant, 755 W. Market St., Niagara Falls.
And by the way -- marrow bones are served on toast in the Black Rock Kitchen and Bar, 491 Amherst St.

Candidate for 2009 IACP Office: James R. Craze
James R. Craze
Chief of PoliceGreenbelt, MarylandCandidate for IACP Vice President at Large
It is possible, however, to provide a glimpse of my personal history and qualifications and to mention what I believe to be law enforcement's most pressing issue regardless of where we call home.
I came to policing through a fouryear tour of duty as an Air Police K-9 handler in the U.S. Air Force during the Vietnam era. Upon discharge, I was fortunate to be offered a job as a police officer with the City of Greenbelt, Maryland, which is located within the greater Washington, D.C., metropolitan area. The 69-member agency is nationally accredited.
After I had served 13 years, primarily in the patrol division, and advanced to the position of patrol division commander, our police chief of two years suddenly resigned. By virtue of my recent graduation from Session 146 of the FBI National Academy and the University of Maryland, I was appointed acting chief. Following a nationwide search, I was offered the job, a position that I have proudly held for 23 years.
As a newly minted chief, I sought out organizations that would provide an introduction to other police executives. During those early years, it quickly became evident that professional association is the foundation for success and growth in our profession.
During my career, I have had the honor of serving as president of our state and county police chiefs' associations where I continue to maintain active memberships. I also belong to many other professional groups too numerous to mention.
Those experiences prepared me to move on to the national level where I have served in the trenches of the IACP for nearly a decade, first as Maryland's SACOP representative for four years, then on the Executive Committee as the representative for the states of New Jersey, Delaware, and Maryland for the past six. I also serve the association as a member of the Foundation Board of Directors, the Financial Review Committee, the Investment Subcommittee, and the Committee on Committees. Until my announcement for this position, I was a member of the Election Commission. I am a proud life member of the IACP. It has been through these appointments that I have been introduced to the complex, diverse, and dynamic operation of the association.
By virtue of these assignments, I have gained an appreciation of the operation of the association from a perspective different from my view as a member. I have experienced firsthand the diligent manner in which the elected officers and staff go about their fiduciary responsibility in keeping the association solvent and relevant to the membership. Given an unlimited budget the IACP could tackle every important issue to law enforcement executives, but this is not realistic in these financially constrained times, which brings me to what I believe to be our most pressing challenge as CEOs of our agencies—meeting public expectations with ever-dwindling financial resources.
There is no greater threat to service delivery than our economic uncertainty. There is some indication that it will drive crime, stress every social program, and impact the quality of life for every community almost without exception. Programmatic cuts to training and prevention programs such as DARE and school resource officers are common. Furloughs and reductions in force are a fact of life in many places. The forces that strain our agencies do likewise to our association.
My pledge to you as police executives is to keep the IACP relevant to you by helping maintain a sound business plan that will carry the association through hard times. This will require a vigorous review of budget expenditures and investment vehicles, matters with which I have extensive experience.
If you agree, I would appreciate your support in Denver.
From The Police Chief, vol. LXXVI, no. 8, August 2009. Copyright held by the International Association of Chiefs of Police, 515 North Washington Street, Alexandria, VA 22314 USA.

The sheriff's office on Wednesday afternoon received a call that a goat had been killed by a dog on property on Dutcher Road in Fairhaven Township. Responding Deputy Steve Bismarck located the dead goat, which had apparently been killed by a Siberian husky and a Springer spaniel.
Bismarck also located a second husky, two miniature horses, six live puppies and one dead puppy. One of the horses had wounds on its neck, possibly the result of a dog attack. All of the animals appeared to be suffering from malnutrition and neglect, deputies report.
As Bismarck was speaking with fellow Deputy Ward Carter, the first husky and the spaniel cornered the horses and commenced what the deputies believed was another attack. The deputies had to physically pull the dogs from the horses, they report.
The deputies determined the dogs had killed the goat because they did not have food. They secured the canines and Bismarck quickly purchased food for the animals.
The homeowners were not present at the time and witnesses told deputies no one had been there for several days.
Thursday morning, Bismark and Lt. Brian Wisenbaugh returned to the property with a veterinarian from the Bad Axe Animal Clinic. The deputies decided to remove the animals due to their conditions.
While they were still at the scene, the 30-year-old female resident and her family arrived. The woman was upset and told deputies the house is not always occupied, deputies report.
The woman cooperated with the deputies and surrendered the animals.
The dogs were taken to the Thumb Animal Shelter near Elkton, while the horses were taken in by a volunteer near Filion.
Deputies are continuing to investigate and they expect charges are forthcoming.
Huron County Sheriff Kelly Hanson said he could not provide photos of the animals, as they were too graphic.

Established in 2007, Fauve Lingerie has quickly become famous for beautiful fabrics and superb fit. Fauve joined the family at lingerie design house Eveden, well known for brands such as Freya and Fantasie. The Blogleaves team were lucky enough to go behind the scenes with the design team at Fauve, giving you the inside scoop of designing beautiful lingerie.
Name: Kerry Williams
Job Title: Fauve Senior Designer
Time with Fauve: 7 Years
How did you become a lingerie designer at Fauve?
My career at Eveden started in 1999, I have worked on several brands within the Eveden portfolio. I was fortunate to have the opportunity to be involved with Fauve from the start and influence the brand direction.
Fauve is a relatively new brand. How would you describe Fauve?
Beautiful, confident, luxurious, seductive and sexy. It only seems like yesterday that we were developing the Fauve concept back in 2005. We launched our first collections in 2007. From a collection with just three ranges we have grown into a brand with a large and loyal following, Fauve's creative handwriting has evolved over the past five years into a sophisticated, glamorous style with an unflinching attention to detail and of course exceptional fit.
What is a 'day in the life' like for a Fauve Lingerie Designer?
Every day is different; from researching and developing new materials and trims to cutting patterns and ensuring a perfect fit. I am always seeking new ideas and inspiration.
Where do you get inspiration for your designs?
We watch trend predictions closely, trends on the catwalks and when we can, we go on inspiration trips or visit Europe to select the latest embroidery, lace and fabric. We also consider what has worked well in previous collections and receive constant feedback from our sales teams, customers and design team.
Here at figleaves.com, we love the beautiful Fauve Rosa Bridal collection, what is your favourite Fauve lingerie set and why?
Rosa is stunning however I will always love Emmanuelle, it is simply beautiful, I love both the Bronze and Latte shades!
Can you give us a sneaky insight into what we can expect for AW11?
Lots of beautiful embroidery and lace, some real statement show stopping pieces such as Veronique, and some gorgeous boudoir inspired pieces such as Lucia.

|Here are some details about my project:
|Accessory, Necklace
|Classic, Casual
What materials did you use? Pendant - Jasper with fossils in light green Chain Lava beads, tiger eye beads, 7 interwoven wire strands thread focal bead Large crystal
What are you most proud of? I am proud I succeeded to create a beautiful necklace to be used for everyday outfit, it is not too fancy or too shiny, it is really useful and emphasize nature beauty.
What advice would you give someone starting this project? Choosing the right pendant and beads was the most difficult part of this creating this necklace. Assemble all beads and pendant is so easy and fun takes only few minutes. Choose your pendant and beads for the chains and plan the beads order. 1. Start with the clasp end, thread the clasp and close it with a crimp bead. 2. insert the end of the thread into the first few beads 3. string the beads until you have the desired length - 24-26 cm, 4. bead a crimp bead, a focal bead, the pendant. 5. Go back through the focal bead and the crimp bead. 6. press the crimp bead tightly 7. continue beading the other side of the necklace symmetrically. 8. add crimp bead, add 2nd part of clasp. 9. press the crimp bead tightly. 10. insert the thread end into the first few beads. Very nice and easy, Take few minutes (after you already planned it) Orly

In rare cases like that of gargantuan former heavyweight champ Brock Lesnar, the hype surrounding fighters who made their UFC debut was merited.
For others, like Hector Lombard, extraordinary media attention only brings added pressure and unfamiliar headaches, factors that often result in disappointing performances.
For better or for worse, though, MMA fans will usually peg flashy competitors as either blue-chip prospects, coveted transplants, or spectacles, in Lesnar's case.
The UFC has certainly facilitated its share of tantalizing debuts. Here are the 10 most hyped fighters to ever enter the Octagon.

Many providers and even some governments have been touting PDF versions of invoices as a genuine form of electronic invoicing. Whilst PDF attachments sent via email are certainly electronic, many of the benefits available through automated e-Invoicing systems are lost.
A study published by AIIM (http://www.aiim.org/Research/Industry-Watch/Paper-Free-Capture-2012) reveals that PDF file attachments are in fact costing more than they are saving. How is this possible? Consider the following findings:

by Steven Pinker
By reminding us what a miracle language is—that by simply making noises with our mouths, we bring ideas to each other's minds—Steven Pinker begins this remarkable odyssey that takes us from the physiology of speech to the mystery of consciousness itself.
Amazed by the prodigious ability of children to learn language, Pinker, 39, a professor of brain and cognitive sciences at MIT, argues that the process is a biological function determined by the genetic makeup of our brains. Like the renowned linguist Noam Chomsky, Pinker believes we are born knowing the general principles of language, and as we grow up, we add such elements as vocabulary and syntax.
Writing colloquially, Pinker moves from teenage slang and musical lyrics to complicated linguistic theory. He quotes Dan Quayle and Yogi Berra to explain the role genetics may play in varying language capabilities; he debunks rigid grammatical rules, citing Star Trek's "to boldly go where no man has gone before" as a case for split infinitives. While linguistics and grammarians might disagree with some of his conclusions, he marshals his evidence in captivating ways. The Language Instinct covers an enormous amount of material, and if at times the going is slow, the journey is worth it. (Morrow, $23)

Here is Mark's take on the subject:
Cooking with Bones | Mark's Daily Apple
He recommends tossing the fat from poultry stock (oxidized PUFA from the long cooking process), but keeping the fat from beef stock.
He also does recommend cracking open the bones to extract all the goodness. I usually don't bother to do this with my beef stock. Seems like a lot of work and mess for not much benefit.... but it could be fun. I just don't have a sturdy bag that I would want to use for smashing bones in.
