Consuming issues - UK food makers unbowed on FOP labelling
The Food and Drink Federation (FDF), which represents UK food manufacturers, shows little sign of relinquishing its dogged support of a system based solely on percentage of guideline daily amounts (GDAs), writes Ben Cooper.
Comment: Premier right to shake-up bread business
UK company Premier Foods had already hinted it had plans to shake-up its bread business and, this week, the Hovis manufacturer underlined it will "fix" that part of its operations. The company decided to walk away from an own-label contract worth GBP75m but the move is a wise one; the status quo in bread is not an option. But what options are out there for Premier in bread?
BRICs and beyond: China's slowdown a bump in the road
The impact of the global economic crisis can be seen in consumer behaviour the world over and last week it was announced that - as expected - China's economic growth rate slipped during the third-quarter. This has raised concerns that companies attempting to offset weakness in developed economies by tapping into the potential of this emerging world powerhouse could be in for a tough time. Nevertheless, Katy Askew suggests, the underlying growth drivers in China mean that the "sleeping giant's" potential remains vast.

Emerging markets have heated up for every industry, but the world's biggest pharmaceutical players have approached the challenges of capturing these promising markets in unique ways. Generic competition spawned by loose legal frameworks and a lack of solid middle-class wealth has hampered big pharma's push into some of the world's top developing economies, but the industry's top companies can't afford to miss out on this hundred-billion dollar opportunity in the making.
Sales around the pharmaceutical industry have been falling because of patent losses, and untapped emerging markets represent one last low-hanging frontier for the sector. Can big pharma take advantage of the world's fast-growing developing nations -- and are China, India, and other emerging economies even ready for the industry's entrance? Motley Fool contributor Dan Carroll and health care analyst Max Macaluso discuss below what you need to know about big pharma's battle to win the emerging markets.

In an ongoing evaluation of the impact of a course on continuing education in community mental health, basic attitudinal change toward mental health and community mental health services is not as signifiicant as changes in the delivery of these services. Activities in the area of secondary prevention changed significantly more than those in either primary or tertiary prevention. An important issue in the success of such a program would seem to be the ongoing communication and exchange of ideas among the members who have taken such a course and who are still involved in the promotion of community mental health.

In Reply In 2008, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) specified a 23-µg/L (or parts per billion) "level of concern" for arsenic in apple and pear juice, noting that samples exceeding this level would be considered, along with "other factors," to determine whether regulatory action would be needed. Neither the other factors nor the nature of the regulatory action were specified.1
In July 2013, after our article was published, the FDA proposed an action level of 10 µg/L for inorganic arsenic in apple juice,1 the same level set by the Environmental Protection Agency for arsenic in drinking water. The proposed action limit is based on quantitative risk assessment using data on lung and bladder cancer cases from southwestern Taiwan. The increasing evidence for arsenic health effects at low-to-moderate arsenic levels, including both cancer and noncancer end points,2- 5 should be considered to evaluate the adequacy of 10 µg/L as the action level for apple juice.

Awesome Vehicle
by VX Enthusiast from NY | May 22, 2011
Very fun and eye-catching vehicle. One of the funnest vehciles I've driven. It's low RPM High torque allows it to climb steep inclines, you can drive through anything with this vehicle, and it handles nicely on the road with lots of power. Everywhere I go it turns heads since there were only 3100 sold in USA. The interior is very sharp and modern as well as the exterior. The chrome alloy rims hold up very nicely, no lack of quality here.

One of the Funniest SUV currently on the road
by Car Enthusiast from Woodland Hills, CA | January 5, 2010
I have owned my Proton Yellow VehiCross since 2003......I specifically searched for one year to find the right color, low mileage and excellent condition VehiCross. Still people ask, what is it, and can not believe how old it is. The only problem when purchased was the electric windows, which the manufacturer had a fix for but of course was not covered under warranty. I have several cars and this is the most fun to drive, not only because it is rare but it handles great..... I wish they did not stop production but I understand why as they only have 2 doors. Great SUV, fun SUV, I love my Vehicross.

Deffinetly V-cross is the top of SUV coupe that i've ever seen. I decide to purchase an SUV & since then i'd test few SUV's of my preference,pathfinder,X-terra,RAV-4,liberty renagade,explorer,yukon,expedition,etc. I cleary understand that all of those trucks cannot be compared due to the differents features,styles & other stuff,however to me V-cross is one of a kind. Only two or three more features i'll suggest to the amount already added opctions in the V-cross.which is sunroof,GPS navigation & an folding center console at the rear seats. The lack of cup holders is a small turn off,but come one guys,remember that this state-of-the-art wasn't intented for production by isuzu. The torque-on-demand system is outstanding.the powerfull 3.5L is unique if we consider that V-cross is an mid-size truck. Even newer mid-size trucks doesn't match the powerfull V-cross engine,such as toyota RAV-4,suzuki XL-7,sport track explorer or either come close to it. Is a must-turn-head,where ever i drive by people stop me,i can recall this nice chick who follow me almost 34 miles until a stop by a gas station just to aks me where this truck came from. Out there's many beautyfull cars,but V-cross step aside from all of the rest. I deffinetly love this one & hope isuzu soon decide to bring them back on production.

Do Lee .45 acp dies roll crimp or taper crimp?

Taper crimp. In fact, all brands of .45 ACP dies should ship with a taper crimp die.
March 19, 2005, 09:56 PM
In fact - any rimless cartridge should only be given a taper crimp - tho with rifle that may be more like a four point ''cinch''!!! The prerequisite is that the case mouth can headspace with straight case pistol ammo - in rifle the bottleneck will be the ref point.
Roll crimps are for most part only for long parallel cases, usually for revo's and rimmed ... like 38/357, .44, .45 Colt etc.
March 20, 2005, 12:43 PM
My Lee 3 die set is a combination of both, depending on how you adjust them.
The Bushmaster
March 20, 2005, 01:09 PM
How you say?? My Lee 3 die set is taper crimp only If I set it too much it looks just like a bad LFC die. How old are your .45 ACP dies. Mine were purchased in 1990... :(
March 21, 2005, 01:31 AM
My Lee 3 die set is a combination of both, depending on how you adjust them. If that were true then neither crimp would be satisfactory.
The Lee bullet seating die will remove the flare from the case mouth but will only perform either a taper crimp or a roll crimp. Straightening the mouth flare is not the same as crimping.
March 21, 2005, 10:36 AM
From the Lee site:
There are two crimp shoulders in our bullet seating dies. The first shoulder applies a slight taper crimp and the second shoulder applies a full roll crimp. The closer the die is adjusted to the shell holder the heavier the crimp will be.
March 21, 2005, 04:08 PM
Slight is right.
I have a set of Lee Carbide Dies in .45 sitting on my desk this very moment that I am looking to dispose of becaue they won't crimp worth a damn. I think this must be what those idiots at A-MERC use to almost crimp their ammo. :barf:
I'll probably get rid of my .38/.357 Lee dies also and be done with them.
After all of these years I should have know better than to buy just because it's cheap.
I'll stick to my Redding crimp dies.
March 21, 2005, 04:54 PM
Slight is right.
I have a set of Lee Carbide Dies in .45 sitting on my desk this very moment that I am looking to dispose of becaue they won't crimp worth a damn.
Everything I've ever read about .45ACP crimp says take it down to .470. My LEE FCD will go to .472 - period - that's the most crimp I can ever get regardless of the brass or bullet used.
But you know what .472 works - for me at least. I've never gotten any set back and I function check my carry gun at least once a week and often twice. The bullet that comes out of the chamber gets to be the top round in the mag so it goes back into the chamber. Since I only fire my carry gun (Sig P220) about once a month that's a minimum of 4 and sometimes 8 chamberings on that top round. The OAL stays at 1.2 right where it was when it was first reloaded.
That once a month firing is at least 50 rounds and usually 100 or more. I get good grouping and accuracy so for me at least that .472 light crimp works. YMMV...
March 21, 2005, 05:51 PM
"fcd" is factory crimp die?
The Bushmaster
March 21, 2005, 09:46 PM
Oh Drat...I guess I'm in trouble again. All I have is Lee dies and they don't give me any trouble at all. Except I am a little unhappy with the .38 Special resizer which I plan to solve here soon. Waiting for tax return. I have been using the same Lee dies for about 20 years. They have never given me any reason to replace them with new ones or a different manufacturer. My press is a Lee turret.
March 21, 2005, 09:52 PM
Don't feel left out Bushmaster!! I have all Lee - well, just a few other makes of dies here and there to be honest - but my Lee set-up has done now for some quarter century and more and covers many, many calibers too.
I added a second turret, plus Challenger single station and also a cheapo single station - which is used just for priming and non-stress operations. I also invested in extra turrets so as to leave die sets all set up and ready to go for quick change-overs. There is no die I can think of that has let me down - and I have added many FCD's in more recent years too.
The Bushmaster
March 21, 2005, 10:11 PM
Yup. Same here. I think I can solve the .38 crisiss with a Lee FCD also. If not I may do some research and find a die that will taper the .38 Special just a little. Not unlike the .357 die. All of my dies are set up on individual turret adaptors. Change caliber...Change adaptor. Of course you already know this.
March 21, 2005, 11:06 PM
are lee FCD universal or caliber specific, i've never heard of em before this conversation. . .
March 21, 2005, 11:10 PM
FCD's are cal specific - tho of course with examples like .45 LC - they will serve for .454 Casull - etc. Similarly as you'd expect .38/.357.
Just a case of adjusting - to suit case length.
The Bushmaster
March 22, 2005, 01:34 AM
P95carry is right. More information to clarify...It takes a Lee FCD to do .30-30 and another to do .30-06. And so on......Some will do more then one cartridge caliber.
March 22, 2005, 09:01 AM
You wanna get rid of Lee 45 and 357/38 dies....hmmm all my Lee dies work quite well, and just got in my new Lee 7.62x54R set yesterday. Yes, the Lee dies in 9mm will give a roll crimp if adjusted incorrectly - found that out the hard way with my first ever loads - oops.
My brother just got a 1911 45ACP, and was wondering if I could get dies for my press..... :) Got a price in mind for them? Still in good shape?

The Strike Valley Overlook is an awe-inspiring viewpoint in a remote corner of Capitol Reef National Park. The overlook is located on a high sandstone cliff, offering expansive views of the Waterpocket Fold; a large geologic formation that spans nearly 100 miles and defines Capitol Reef National Park. This hike is suitable for most healthy adults and children but can be very hot during the summer.
The hike to the Strike Valley Overlook begins at the Upper Muley Twist Trailhead on the Burr Trail road in Capitol Reef National Park. Accessing the trailhead requires driving a significant distance on remote dirt roads with no services or cell phone reception. Under good conditions, the trailhead is accessible to passenger cars but a 4WD vehicle is sometimes required. Check with the Capitol Reef Visitor Center for current road conditions before heading out.
From Torrey, Utah:
The trailhead is also accessible by driving west on the Burr Trail from Boulder, Utah. There is a $5 per vehicle fee to enter Capitol Reef National Park. No facilities are available at the trailhead.
NOTE: The first 3 miles of the trail follows a rugged dirt road that can be driven by high clearance 4WD vehicles to a signed parking area for the Strike Valley Overlook. Driving to the 4WD upper parking area requires good off-road driving skills and a capable vehicle. From the upper parking area, the hiking distance to the Strike Valley Overlook is just one half mile round trip.
From the Upper Muley Twist Trailhead, begin walking north on the dirt road. It soon descends into the wash bottom of Upper Muley Twist Canyon and becomes more rugged. From here to the upper parking area, the route follows the wash bottom, passing by small undercuts and alcoves as well as two beautiful arches along the way.
The first arch is called Peek-a-boo Rock and is visible directly ahead as you begin walking from the parking area. It is a unique arch consisting of a small hole through a thick sandstone fin at the top of the reef. The second arch you will encounter is called Double Arch (37.875613,-111.045871), located in a small drainage on the west canyon wall, about 2.5 miles from the trailhead. The arch is very close to the trail but because of the angle, you might not see it until you are nearly right in front of it.
After about 3 miles of walking up the canyon, the 4WD trail ends at a small, signed parking area for the Strike Valley Overlook on the right (37.881562,-111.046648). Continue hiking a quarter mile on the signed trail heading east from the parking area. Watch for rock cairns along the way as the trail transitions from sand to slickrock, eventually climbing to the top of a ridge before arriving at the Strike Valley Overlook (37.883334,-111.042049).
The route ends at a massive precipice at the edge of the reef, offering breathtaking views of the Waterpocket Fold and much of Capitol Reef National Park. The Waterpocket Fold is the defining geologic feature of Capitol Reef National Park and spans nearly 100 miles from north to south. The Strike Valley Overlook is one of the best locations in the park from which to view this unique formation.
Total hiking distance from the Upper Muley Twist Trailhead to the overlook and back is approximately 6.5 miles.
NOTE: This route may be extended farther north into Upper Muley Twist Canyon. A narrow canyon and several more arches can be enjoyed but the route is significantly more difficult. Check with the Capitol Reef Visitor Center for more information about the Upper Muley Twist Canyon hike.

Tree thieves have chain sawed to stumps about 25 milo trees at Kanaha Beach Park in the past three to four months, and county officials and tree experts suspect the logs are being used for wood carvings.
In the most recent incident, the thieves cut through a wooden barrier to drive in their vehicles to haul out the logs near the dirt "kite surfer parking lot" on the county sewage treatment plant side of the park, said Mike Perry, a volunteer with Maui Community Work Day, on Monday.
They left behind stumps and smaller branches - debris that he had to haul out.
Article Photos
Thieves have sawed to stumps about 25 milo trees at Kanaha Beach Park in Naska in the last three to four months. In the latest brazen theft of the prized wood, the thieves cut a wooden barrier and drove their truck in to haul out the milo logs. County officials believe the milo is being taken from the county park to create wood carvings.
The Maui News / LEE IMADA photo
Milo trees, shown at Kanaha Beach Park, can tolerate the salt and windy air at the beach. Thieves have been cutting down the largest of the milo trees in the park. There is some debate about whether the trees are native or were brought by the early Polynesians to the islands.
The Maui News / LEE IMADA photo
"They selectively take the thick part" of the tree, said Perry, who has spent a lot of time in the past decade restoring the native ecosystem at the park near the Kahului Airport.
That and the fact that the milo tree, which is either native or was brought to the islands by the first Native Hawaiians, is a prized wood have authorities suspecting that the trees were harvested for wood carving.
"It has beautiful grain in the heartwood," said David Sakoda, Maui County arborist.
"All through the Pacific, the milo is the most common high-quality wood for carving," added Art Medeiros, a research biologist. "It's kind of the Toyota of wood."
He said the milo was used in making umeke, or food bowls.
"It doesn't give a taste to the poi," said Medeiros. "The milo is admired for lack of taste."
The milo is a good carving wood as well. When wet, the milo is easy to carve, and it dries reasonably hard, said Tom Calhoun, board member of the Hawaii Forestry Industry Association and owner of World Wood Works in Makawao. Some carvers turn the milo into tiki to sell to visitors.
"Because they are easy to carve, carvers like to get them," he added.
Reputable wood carvers get their lumber through an informal network of tree trimmers and certified tree arborists, he said. Knowing what kind of wood the artisans are seeking, tree trimmers and arborists alert carvers when a property owner wants to get rid of a tree that has good wood.
But chain sawing milo trees in a county park is not the way to do it, Calhoun said. It's against the law.
"They (the trees) were stolen," said Sakoda.
Maui County spokesman Rod Antone said that county parks department officials have filed a police report over the stolen trees and the damaged barrier.
Ernie Rezents, a certified arborist and professor emeritus of agriculture at the University of Hawaii Maui College, said the thieves could face fines of up to $1,000 per tree under a county tree ordinance that he helped draft.
"I wish they'd catch those son of a guns," he said, adding that the trees in the park are for everyone to enjoy and are not for the benefit of individuals. "To do that is really inconsiderate."
"You are taking from everybody and future generations," added Medeiros.
The thieves cut down the largest of the trees in the area that were 50 feet high and 25 years old, according to Perry.
"Those were the mature ones," said Sakoda. "It's a pretty significant theft."
He said that no tree inventory for Kanaha has been done so he doesn't know how many milo trees there are at Kanaha. But Sakoda said he believes that "there aren't that many for the area."
Thespesia populnea is the scientific name for the milo, which is part of the hibiscus family, said Rezents. The tree is tolerant of salt and wind and has a manageable root system and a dense round canopy.
It is "a valuable oceanside tree for shade," he said, adding that the milo is an ideal tree for a beachside park.
In such theft cases, everyone might know who cut down the trees, but authorities have difficulty linking the stolen trees to the suspect, said Calhoun. He suggested that county officials might want to take a picture of the stump, which may be matched against one from a suspect. Each tree's cross-section pattern is different and could act as a kind of fingerprint, he said.
Calhoun also suggested requiring carvers to have a bill of sale for their milo logs. The state implemented such a requirement for koa.
Sakoda noted that enforcement has been reduced at night and is hoping that the public will act as their eyes and ears. Antone urged the public to contact police or the parks department if they see trees being taken.
"It's really robbing from all of us," said Sakoda.

ROCKFORD, Ill. — The Grand Rapids Griffins continued their streak of earning at least one point in every road game this season with a 3-1 win against Rockford on Sunday at BMO Harris Bank Center.
The Griffins also boosted their overall record to 7-2-1-1, best in the Western Conference.
After more than a period and a half of scoreless hockey, Triston Grant found the net for the Griffins at 13:12 of the second period. Andrej Nestrasil stole the puck at the IceHogs' blue line and rushed the net. His shot was deflected, and Grant was there to put away the rebound.
With 2:12 to play in the second period, Teemu Pulkkinen doubled the Griffins' lead. Jeff Hoggan intercepted an IceHog pass in their zone, and Pulkkinen was positioned in front of the net to tip in Hoggan's shot from the left boards. The puck made its way in underneath Antti Raanta's left arm.
After the Griffins successfully killed off five penalties, the IceHogs took advantage of a hooking call on Cory Emmerton at 7:22 of the third period. At 8:41, Klas Dahlbeck fired a shot from the left circle to put Rockford on the board.
A tic-tac-toe play between Riley Sheahan, Luke Glendening and Landon Ferraro resulted in the Griffins' third and final tally of the night. Two quick backhanded passes found Ferraro open at the left post, where he tapped in the goal with 1:24 remaining in the game.
In his second straight win, Tom McCollum saved 34 of 35 and Raanta stopped 31 of 34. With the loss, Rockford drops to 7-4-1-0.
The IceHogs will look for redemption at 11 a.m. Wednesday against Grand Rapids at Van Andel Arena.

Ben Golden's Recommendations
Ben Golden
Dr. Golden is extremley nice and fair. EVERYTHING you do is group work and he rarly stands in front of the class to teach. I did learn something but some activities are a little hard to follow. His tests may scare you (they are take home) but they really are not that bad.
Ben Golden
I loved Dr. Golden! He is very fair and very understanding! He will work with you on an individual basis. You will be very surprised at how well he remembers everything about you. If you are absent he notices and makes sure you know whats going on. He will know your name instantly! There is no attendance policy but, it is very important to be there or you will miss alot! The take home tests are hard but, save all of your class work and you will be okay! He does reuse the same material each semester but, DO NOT USE someone's old tests and stuff. He caught several people cheating like that last semester and the last I heard he turned them in for plagarism!! Education majors should know better! Dr. Golden is a super nice guy!

Tribune Chronicle
WARREN DiPaolo Development Corp. is proposing to save the city $1 million in the cost of building a One Stop administration center by moving its proposed location from Courthouse Square to the former Delphi Packard building on Dana Street.
Pavlos P.Pavlidis, an architect with Atekton Architects & Designers in Shaker Heights, presented to members of councils Health and Welfare Committee a proposal in which the 120,000-square-foot former Delphi administration building could be transformed into a business condominium center in which the citys one stop center may be located. Also in the building may be a new restaurant, a wellness center and space of other small businesses looking to purchase space in the building.
The city will buy 50,000 square feet of the building, Pavlidis said. DDC also will build a new 10,000- square-foot wellness center and give it to the city.
An outdoor running track is being designed into the plan. A new daycare also is in the plan.
Pavlidis said one of the benefits of moving the administration to the Delphi Buildings is it will stretch the downtown area northwest.
Earlier this year, the administration presented a plan to city council in which a new one-stop administration building would be built from the ground up on East Market Street at the old Martin Chevrolet location. The city owns the land.
The cost of a new, fully furnished building was projected to be $10.5 million.
We are not talking about the development of one building, Pavlidis said. We are looking at the development of two city blocks. With this project the city would be looking at bringing in new tax revenues, because we also would be looking at bringing in other businesses onto the site.
The buildings renovation would give it the highest level of energy efficiency.
In addition DiPaolo Corp. would downsize the 500,000-square-foot building across the street to about 300,000 square feet for business development and provide warehousing space.
We will be bring in tax dollars, he said.
Pavlidis said the group also would consider tearing down dilapidated housing in the area at cost.
Sergio DiPaolo is an owner of DiPaolo Development Corp., which purchased the former Delphi Corp. buildings in January 2011.
Councilman Fiore Dippolito described the proposal as something to consider, but was non committal to the plan.
I dont know whether it fit the model of what was discussed before, he said. It doesnt meet the criteria of being downtown, although it is relatively close to the downtown area.
Whatever happens I hope it is successful in attracting other kinds of for profit businesses, Dippolito said.
Councilman Vincent Flask called the presentation to council impressive, but adds he is not sure he agrees with either the plan or the financials.
They are trying to sell a One Stop idea that takes city government out of downtown, Flask said. I like expanding downtowns, but I think it can be done easier from the inside out. Im not sure this is the best option.
Councilman Helen Rucker called the proposal a bit overwhelming.
I wanted to see where the city fit into the project, Rucker said. What Im concerned about is the city for the last 20 years has been talking about growing the downtown area, streamlining city services and making them accessible. Im not sure if this does that.
Rucker also questioned paying $9.5 million for the One Stop and then having to pay condominium management fees.
This is another alternative for us to consider, she said.
While suggesting this is more of an administration decision, Councilman John Brown likes the suggestion that the company suggested placing a wellness center into the building regardless whether the city is involved or not.
Councilman Eddie Colbert said he appreciates the proposal, but suggested asking $9.5 million to renovate an existing building seems a bit high.
Mayor William Doug Franklin said it is always a great benefit to see businesses retrofitting existing buildings.
I wish there had been a smaller outlay of dollars, Franklin said. It is almost the same amount we proposed for building a new facility in our original proposal.
Franklin also would prefer having the citys government center in the center of the city.
Im pleased they looked comprehensively and part of their plan is to renovate the two city blocks as well as other nearby neighborhoods, Franklin said.
The administration plans to present other proposals to council within the next 10 days.

Sept. 1 marks the expansion of every team's active roster from 25 to 40 players. In general, it allows teams to address their needs at the major league level by essentially plucking specific talent from within their farm system to add bench and bullpen depth.
More importantly, at least as far as we're concerned, the final month of the season represents a time when teams have the freedom to audition their top prospects at the highest level.
Even though most organizations hold off on promoting their young talent until the completion of the minor league playoffs, which are set to begin this week, there should be several notable promotions announced Monday.
As part of our ongoing coverage here at Prospect Pipeline, we've put together a list of each team's announced call-ups headed into Monday. And as news pertaining to September call-ups develops over the coming week, we've got you covered with updated information, scouting reports and predictions on baseball's top prospects.

Despite some controversy regarding the real numbers, it appears that there are now more
than 500 million Twitter registered accounts, so no wonder if you feel confused and frustrated when it comes to disseminating which accounts are the best to follow. Some may argue it is simple, just adopt the "follow-them-all" approach! But you might want to think about that twice if you are not using an account exclusively dedicated to your candidate branding activities. Plus, you may look too needy if your profile reads "1,532 Following" and only "14 Followers".
That being said, actively following more and more accounts does correlate directly to the increase in the numbers of your own followers. So, do follow but sharpen your sense of balance and dissemination. Here are some answers to help you tackle these apparent dilemmas and make the most of your candidate branding quest via Twitter:
@Which account? Most multinationals have several accounts for specific countries, departments or services. If you are interested in a company and you would like to keep yourself posted on their career opportunities, follow their career specific account rather than the corporate one. A lot of companies' career accounts usually have "@OOO_careers" or "@OOO_jobs" style account names.
Hint: Look for your country/region specific accounts too, just in case!
@Where to find the official one? Searching for the relevant official career account of a company is also cumbersome because , as with any free, public platforms, there may be many alternative fake accounts out there. The surest way to discover if your dream company has an official career account on Twitter and connect to it is to look for it on their career website.
@Need I follow them? One of the great benefits of Twitter is that you don't need to follow someone to see their tweets. Unlike for Facebook, you have access to everyone's profile even if you don't even have a Twitter account. On the other hand, as you know, unless you follow an account, you will not get feeds from them on your timeline. This means you risk missing out on many of their opportunities and also decrease your chances of actively engaging with them.
Hint: To actively promote your candidate brand on Twitter IS to engage with potential employers!

WARREN - Attendance at Trumbull County Fair was up 3.6 percent over last year, despite a literal washout on its second day.
Numbers released Monday show that 44,547 paid to enter the annual agricultural exhibition in Bazetta this year, compared to 42,918 in 2012.
Heavy rain hurt attendance figures Wednesday, when only 875 came through the gates. Otherwise, daily attendance figures were up.

''Every day was over last year but Wednesday,'' said Tom Sawyer, fair board president.
A large thunderstorm that rolled through Trumbull County Wednesday afternoon dropped several inches of rain, causing one of the bigger attractions, the late-model dirt automobile race, to be postponed until Sunday and ultimately the fair to close.
In comparison, the paid gate for Wednesday in 2012 was 8,645.
Fact Box
July 9 - 3,513
Wednesday - 875*
Thursday - 7,239
Friday - 8,247
Saturday - 12,224
Sunday - 12,449
Total - 44,547
* A thunderstorm shut down the fair.
Sawyer attributed the better fortune to better weather. Although this year featured days that were hot and humid, it wasn't nearly as bad as the string of sweltering days in 2012.
In his 34 years on the fair board, Sawyer said temperatures last year were ''probably the worst I have seen. People were getting sick, we had electrical problems.''
Postponing the auto race caused the demolition derby Sunday to be delayed by about two hours, but people didn't seem to mind waiting. In fact, Sawyer said, the grandstand was at its 5,000-seat capacity and people were standing where they could find room.
He said the people ''seemed congenial.''
''It's pretty hard to run two things when you are trying to get the track ready for this and then get the track ready for that,'' Sawyer said of preparing the grounds for the automobile race first then the demolition derby.
Sunday drew the most people through the gates, 12,449, followed closely by Saturday, 12,224.

Sometime between 7:30 a.m. and 6 p.m., burglars entered a home via the rear porch and an unlocked window. They stole $5,000 in jewelry, electronics and $150 in loose change, according to police.
Following investigations, police arrested David K. Reeder, 47, of Camden, and Thomas M. Amoratis, 39, of Cherry Hill. Reeder was arrested in Camden on outstanding warrants and transported to West Deptford police department.
Police said Reeder confessed to the robbery and implicated Amoratis.
Amoratis was arrested on an outstanding child support warrant out of Camden County. He also admitted to committing the burglary and another in Palmyra several weeks ago, police said.
Amoratis was issued summonses for burglary, theft and conspiracy to commit theft. He was lodged in the Camden County Correctional Facility on the child support warrant.
Amoratis told police the pair had sold the stolen jewelry in Philadelphia and split the proceeds.
West Deptford police recovered a large portion of the stolen jewelry and returned it to the victims.

Christie said New Jersey's first lady never nagged him about his long-publicized struggles with obesity, but she was often concerned about his health, according to the report.
"She'll notice fluctuations more than most," Christie told The Post. "She'll say to me . . . 'I think you need to do something. I think you put on too much weight.'"
The Post was the first to report Christie's surgery on Tuesday morning, and sources told the tabloid that the Governor has dropped 40 pounds since the procedure in February. Many have speculated that Christie went under the knife in order to better position himself for a run at the White House in 2016.
Christie said yesterday that he wanted to keep the procedure private, and only went public after being questioned by a Post reporter.
The Governor also revealed details about his post-surgery diet, claiming he could only ingest liquids in the first 10 days after his surgery, the report said. After that he stuck to "soft foods," including mac-and-cheese, yogurt and apple sauce, according to the report.
Three weeks after the surgery, doctors apparently told Christie to "eat whatever you want," according to the report.

The endogenous cellular prion protein (PrPC) is an α-helical glycophosphatidylinositol-anchored sialoglycoprotein highly expressed in neurons, lymphoid cells, and myeloid cells. In humans, the PrP gene (Prnp) is located on chromosome 20p12. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in Prnp have been shown to determine the susceptibility to inherited, sporadic, and infectious forms of prion diseases.1 Interestingly, it was also recently shown that the same Prnp129 SNP has a significant effect on the clinical course of numerous nonprion neurodegenerative disorders of the central nervous system (CNS), including early-onset Alzheimer disease,2- 4 Down syndrome,5 and Wilson disease.6 In these studies, methionine/valine (M/V) heterozygosity was associated with less severe clinical disease. Finally, the Prnp129 SNP was also shown to negatively affect long-term memory in adult and senescent healthy individuals.7- 9 The exact mechanisms by which genetic polymorphisms of Prnp alter CNS function and disease phenotypes are largely unknown.
In this study, we investigated the effect of the Prnp129 M/V SNP on disease susceptibility to multiple sclerosis (MS), a human inflammatory neurodegenerative disease of the CNS. To determine whether the Prnp129 M/V SNP plays a role in MS susceptibility, we genotyped 973 families with nuclear MS (n = 2998 individuals). Appropriate institutional review boards approved the studies and informed consent was obtained from all participants. The ratio of women to men for affected individuals was 2.9:1, and 91.7% presented with relapsing-remitting (67.6%) or secondary progressive (24.1%) MS at the time of study entry. Genotypes were generated by a TaqMan allelic discrimination assay on an ABI7900HT genotyping platform using the Assay-by-Design service from Applied Biosystems (Foster City, California). All family genotypes were examined for mendelian inconsistencies using PedCheck (University of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania),10 and any discrepancies were addressed. No deviations from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium were observed for genotypes in the patient, parent, or combined group (data not shown).
Family-based association analysis was performed using the reconstructed-combined transmission disequilibrium test11 as implemented in SAS Genetics (v.9.1.3; SAS Institute, Cary, North Carolina). There was no evidence of transmission distortion in this data set (P = .5). Families were stratified by sex and by the presence of HLA-DRB1*1501 in the affected individuals to identify potential genetic interactions. No difference in allelic transmission was observed in either subgroup. The cases from the 973 families with nuclear MS were combined with 490 additional MS cases (total ratio of women to men, 2.7:1) ascertained using identical inclusion criteria and compared with 1131 controls (ratio of women to men, 1.9:1). There was no statistically significant difference in the frequency of Prnp129 genotypes between patients and controls. Allele frequency distributions were similar in patients with mild (EDSS < 3, 15 years after onset) or severe (EDSS > 6 within 10 years after onset) MS (data not shown)12 or when using the Multiple Sclerosis Severity Score13 as a dependent variable (data not shown). Similarly, no effect of Prpn129 on age of onset was detected.
Using the family-based association analysis, we can conclude that an SNP in Prnp129 plays no major role in MS susceptibility. The role of other unlinked polymorphisms or the potential role of Prnp129 in the progression of neuroradiologic or cognitive endpoints of MS cannot be excluded.

CHICAGO -- Home-plate umpire Brian Gorman and Detroit Tigers manager agreed that Gorman made the right call on the play that led to the ejection of Miguel Cabrera.
Leyland and Cabrera agreed that Cabrera shouldn't have been thrown out of the ballgame. Gorman said he warned Cabrera. Leyland said he believed Cabrera was warned. Cabrera said he wasn't.
But everyone seemed to agree that it was odd to see Cabrera ejected from the game during an at-bat for the second time during the 2013 season.
The incident took place Monday night in the top of the first inning of a 5-1 loss to the Chicago White Sox when Cabrera tried to check his swing on an 0-1 slider from Chris Sale that ended up hitting Cabrera. Gorman believed Cabrera did not check his swing in time and called strike two. Cabrera pointed to first base, as if to say that he wanted Gorman to appeal. But umpires appeal only if they are uncertain of the call and cannot appeal after calling a strike.
Cabrera argued with Gorman, then continued the argument after he fouled off the next pitch. At that point, Cabrera was ejected. A few minutes later, Leyland was, too.
Cabrera explained that he thought his bat swung as far as it did only because he was trying to avoid being hit by the pitch.
"I tried to get out of the way," he said. "I tried to tell him a couple times. He didn't say anything … and he threw me out. I don't think I said anything for him to throw me out."
Gorman disputed that fact.
"He kept arguing about the swing part of it," Gorman told a pool reporter after the game. "He was warned and he continued to argue. He was told to stop arguing and continued to argue and he was ejected for continuing the argument."
Leyland said that Cabrera was warned, but he thought Gorman could have been more clear about it.
"In my opinion," Leyland said, "when you do something like that, you say, 'Look, Miguel, I'm trying to keep you in this game. I don't want to throw you out of this game. OK. I don't want to throw you out. But that's enough.' And be emphatic about. And then if he says something, throw him out.
"He said, 'That's enough.' But it was periodic that Miguel (argued)."
Leyland said Gorman made the correct call on the pitch, and on another just like it that hit Ramon Santiago later in the game.
"He called both of them absolutely correct," Leyland said. "There's no question about that. It's basically a strike and a dead ball. Brian Gorman, who is a very good umpire, called them exactly right. There's no question about that. After hearing Brian's explanation as to why he threw him out, I was a little upset, because I did not think it warranted an ejection by any means."
Leyland explained how he understood things went down.
"Miguel said about three or four times, 'That's (bullcrap),' " Leyland said. "That really doesn't, in my opinion, warrant an ejection. He wasn't in his face. He wasn't throwing his hands up. He wasn't putting on a big show. I just felt it was a very unnecessary ejection."
Gorman saw it a different way.
"He just continued to argue the call," he said, "and after being warned, you're subject to ejection after doing that."Cabrera was ejected from a game in early July while arguing balls and strikes during an at-bat. He said now he is unclear on what he can and cannot say to a home-plate umpire to avoid ejection.
"I'm shocked now," he said. "I don't know what to expect next time. I don't know what I have to do next time. To me, to get thrown out two times this year, almost in the same position, in the middle of an at-bat, to me, I don't know what happened. I don't know what to expect."
The Tigers likely would not have solved Sale even with Cabrera in the lineup, but it certainly became an even bigger uphill battle for the team when he was ejected.
"I don't know what happened that moment, but I don't think I said anything to get thrown out of the game, especially right now," Cabrera said. "We're in the race. You don't want to get thrown out of the game. You know what I mean? You want to fight. You want to compete.
"I don't know why. I don't know what happened. I don't know why he threw me out."

Vice President Joe Biden during the debate contradicted the sworn testimony of U.S. State Department officials on Libya.
This is Obama's Watergate.
It's over. The clown and Obama should resign now.
When asked whether the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya had asked for more security ahead of the attack, Biden said: "Well, we weren't told they wanted more security again. We did not know they wanted more security again."
Two State Department officials gave sworn testimony on Wednesday at a congressional hearing in Washington saying they had repeatedly requested beefed-up security for the compound before U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans were killed in the assault at the site on September 11.
"The vice president directly contradicted the sworn testimony of State Department officials."
"When the vice president of the United States directly contradicts the testimony, the sworn testimony of State Department officials, American citizens have a right to find out what's going on," he said.
Obama and Biden lied.
People died.

Have you ever purchased from PartSelect.com before?
Thank you for helping make our site better.
PartSelect Number PS11739042
This door closing cam is located on the bottom of the fridge/freezer.
This part works with the following brands: Whirlpool, Admiral, Estate, Inglis, Kenmore, KitchenAid, Roper, Maytag, Crosley, Jenn-Air, Hardwick, Magic Chef, Amana, Caloric & Glenwood.
This part fixes the following symptoms:
Took off refrigerator door from top hinge and lifted off. A little difficulty getting worn out parts off (needed dremel to drill out worn plastic); replaced with new parts, the screw head holding on the part was starting to be worn as well but still worked. If I hadn't got to this repair soon the bottom of the door aluminum would have total worn out as it is, it has a deep groove but not noticeable. The new cams also force the door closed tight instead of slightly ajar at times.
Help other customers find the most helpful instructions.
Were these instructions helpful?
Super-easy... First, empty refrigerator door. Then, just remove the bolt that goes through the cover over the top hinge. This exposes three more small bolts. Remove these and the top hinge assembly will lift off. Lift door off. Remove cam from door and lower hinge, slip new cams on, and reassemble. The hardest part was pulling all of the junk stuff out of the refrigerator door. Who know you could accumulate so much salad dressing?
Simply remove the cover over top hinge and remove the three outer screws (Do NOT remove the center screw). Lift the door off the lower pivot pin. Turn door upside down and replace the upper cam and then the lower cam on the pivot at the bottom of the refrigerator case. Reintall the door by setting the door on the lower pivot and then reinstall the top pivot and cover. VERY easy and what a difference. No more "POP".
Purchased the closing cam (both pieces). Removed door (3 bolts under the dust shield on top of door) and replaced the plastic cam pieces. So easy a caveman could do it. I actually had my 13 year old son do it while I supervised!
The notches that create the closing power on the lower hinge was worn out. A few bolts at the top of the door and it was off. One nut to hold the plastic hinge and it was on. Door works perfectly now. Water filter was a breeze and the tray where the ice and water dispenser is was even easier. Parts came incredibly fast and after an order for $75 total and my repairs were done.
I removed the three small bolts (under cosmetic cap) located on the right top hand side of the refrigerator and pulled off the door. Replaced the top and bottom cams, put back on the door, screws and cap. Door works like new and the Wife loves it. On a side note, don't be confused when ordering the top and bottom cam as they are both on the bottom of the door.
First I removed the three screws on the top hing of the refrigerator door so that we could lift it off the bottom hing. Socket wrench bits for my drill made that fast and simple. I lifted the door off the bottom hing to find the door closing plastic cam to be broken in several pieces. The hardest part was getting the cylinder shape piece that had broken off the cam out from inside the door. This way we would be able to insert the new piece. Needle nose pliers are the right tool for that job since the hole is small and the plastic just frays under force from regular pliers. It took some force and patience to get that out, but once all the broken pieces were removed, reassembly was quick and easy
Removed right hand door of side by side. Replaced both cams and put door back. All is well.
Removed the door and replaced the lower door cam. Old lower door cam was completly stripped. Insatalled new one and door sealed again! Yay!
supported the door on blocks. removed old parts with a socket and ratchet. the new parts didn't line up quite right, so some modification with a dremel was necessary. otherwise, the repair was very simple.
Removed the door, laid the door on its side, and pulled the worn part from the door. Inserted the new part, reattached the door, and it works like a charm. The parts diagram online was very helpful. I ended up purchasing a part I didn't need in case an unidentified washer came with it, but I didn't need it. No big deal.
pulled all shelves from refrigerator door. unscrew the top plate and lift door out of bottom. pulled old cams off the door and the lower bracket and installed the new cams. put door back on and screwed the top bracket back on. installed the door shelves back in the door. never took the food off the door shelves. easy, easy, easy.
We thought we were in need of a new seal around the door but as my husband checked the door he found out it was a piece under the door that holds it up so the door was not sealing right when it closed. I went on line. Found this site and found my fridge. My husband viewed the pics of the parts and figured out we needed a cam. I ordered my part and could not believe it came the very next day!!! I didn't even pay for anything other then regular delivery. He took off the door and it was simple to just slip on the new part and replace and put the door back on.. Nothing much to tell here. Less then 30 minutes. Thank you so much for the quick service getting it out to us. I was about to put a child lock on the door just to keep it closed..
I removed the items from inside the door and removed the door from the refrigerator at the upper hinge. Removed cam from the door and replaced with the new one. Checked for proper operation and it's quiet as a mouse. I love it.
Removed top cover, then removed top hindge pin plate, then removed the door. Replaced the Lower Door Closing Cam, Reinstalled door and hindge pin plate and cover.

"How do you define creativity?" Research Results Revealed
I'm very excited to share the results of the study my Saybrook University doctoral program professor/mentor Dr. Ruth Richards and I designed last year. Some of you may have responded to the survey we promoted via social media asking for volunteers. We were interested in contemporary views of creativity. Creativity is being talked about a lot – but right now, no widely accepted (and inspiring) definition exists. Want to hear something crazy? If you look up 'creativity' in Merriam-Webster's dictionary it says: "the quality of being creative or the ability to create." Since when is it OK to use a version of the term in a definition? It tells people nothing! When I graduated with a Master of Science degree in Creativity from Buffalo State's International Center for Studies in Creativity, every person I encountered asked me to explain creativity. How can we expect people to use something they don't relate to personally? My frustration with this situation led to diving deeply into the research process. I had the honor of presenting our findings at this years' American Psychological Association Convention in Orlando last month. Click on the power point link to view the slides. The handout postcard shared with the presentation attendees featured a mini-review of the study data on one side, and an original 'creativity word cloud' showing terms used most often by respondents on the reverse. A huge 'thank you' goes out to artist/designer Rosemary Nulty for fashioning the one-of-a-kind research word cloud! The only thing missing is my presentation day 'passion' for the subject! I'd love to hear your thoughts. If you have questions, share them in the comment section at the end of this post or e-mail me directly: email@example.com
Creativity Prompt #1: What words come to mind for you when you hear the word creativity? How do you define it – personally? Crafting your own inspiring and meaningful definition can stimulate your imagination and lead to exploring your creative curiosities. What's your favorite form of 'creative play'? I encourage you to step into the process that calls to you.
My own personal definition of creativity is: imagining possibilities and making them real.
Thanks for joining this conversation! I wish you a wildly creative day.

Bison Chili still seems good... but last night again had some serious serious pain and gas post-sushi dinner. Pain was relieved when lying down so was able to sleep well. Avoiding soy for now...
SORRY FOR SO MANY HEALTH ISSUE POSTS... hopefully this will be the last for awhile...
Just had an excellent visit to the gastroenterologist; he seems pretty satisfied that I don't show signs of inflammatory bowel stuff which is a big relief, and the gallbladder thing is probably a fold I can check in 6 months. He was more than down with the diet/IBS/etc. connections, didn't try to get me to eat grains or less "fatty meat" (did not treat me like a freak after my description of the Mongolian diet). Recommended I play with FODMAPS, and said that yeah I could still be adjusting to all this "bad American" food (that I mostly don't eat ;)). Feeling good about American health care, which doesn't happen all that much.
Pondering an autoimmune protocol or FODMAPS or SCD... or maybe eat just Mongolian style for a week and slowly add stuff that is primal and I like but my body didn't see for about a year and a half? (leafy vegetables, coconut, avocado, etc.)
It's been really stressful having these symptoms, and I'm thinking now that that is a huge component and I shouldn't restrict my self too much if it ends up resulting in more stress-- which definitely gave me GI issues as a kid. I also burned my hand the other day so wasn't able to cook and partner has been busy, adding more stress, but should be ready tomorrow to cook again.
Seem to have got the bloating down but having acid reflux issues. Decided to go easy on FODMAPS at least but probably not cut out completely and make some fresh chicken broth later on... Just had some lettuce, cranberries, and almond crusting (salad and salmon) and doing pretty well after about an hour. Also got alot of good work done this morning!
still having GERD issues, but after reading around more, esp. on Kressler's site ([url=http://chriskresser.com/heartburn]Heartburn / GERD[/url]) may try very low carb for a couple of days ([url=http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs10620-005-9027-7?LI=true]A Very Low-Carbohydrate Diet Improves Gastroesophageal Reflux and Its Symptoms - Springer[/url]). And still need to make my bone broth!
seem to be getting better after two days of VLC (about 20 g of carb per day). Also this morning did alot of work and wasn't stressed out, probably helped alot! Licorice tea as well.
Hi Khainag,
I loved reading your journal! I had a similar experience while studying for my master's in Belarus - skinniest and probably the healthiest I've ever been. The food is just really good. Giving up bread here in the States isn't hard, but Eastern European bread is the best I've had. I ate a lot of grechka too, but all was always served with a healthy dose of fat (salo). We used to have the loveliest breakfasts of boiled potatoes, pickled or fried wild mushrooms, and salo. Now I'm back Stateside (Wisconsin) and learning to cook Georgian food for variety :-)
Oy, now I'm nostalgic. Will revisit soon and send you a friend request, if you don't mind.
Hi Jen, thanks for the reply and sharing your experiences!!!
Yeah Eastern European bread is way way better. Actually I have a Bulgarian friend who started up these "bread houses" where people get together in their neighborhood and make bread together. She had some after her PhD defense a few months ago and it was pretty amazing -- but like a dessert, not something to eat all the time ;).
I love salo!!! I will have to find some source here, haven't thought about it. People used to stop in Erdenet from the capital of Mongolia to stock up too, and Mongolians pretty categorically hate pork anything! Have you gone to any of the Russian stores in Wisconsin? I used to live in southeast Wisconsin and went to this one in Milwaukee down by Marquette a few times. I think they got salo...
Georgian food, good idea. I've been avoiding eggplants for awhile but I think I've established that nightshades aren't an issue... will have to try something. Maybe a katchapuri without bread? :D Any good breadless/legumeless Georgian recipes to share???
I HAVE SALO IN MY FRIDGE. Well, uncured. But huge hunks of pork fat that I can just fry. About a month ago, I pulsed a pound or so in the food processor and rendered it, leaving behind these crispy bits that were awesome on salad!
Yes, I have gone to the Russian store here - there's one in Shorewood and another over by UWM. Not sure where the one is by Marquette? Will have to check it out. I don't love buying meat at the Russian stores because I'm fairly certain that everything is industrially raised and processed far away. But, making Russian food at home isn't very hard. Not much to it besides coating everything in a healthy dose of fat/sour cream/mayonnaise :-) As we get closer to summer, I hope to bust out some recipes from my Russian arsenal, as they are incredibly seasonal. Now, if only I could get ahold of some nettles for a Springtime soup.. We also have a couple of great Middle Eastern stores here that are good for lamb. Mm, lamb.
On the subject of Georgian food, I highly, highly recommend Darra Goldstein's book, [U]The Georgian Feast[/U]. You'll notice that many of the recipes are Primal or can be Primalized quite easily. I don't normally follow recipes to the letter, but hers were very good and the combinations are outside of my normal cooking regimen. There *are* quite a lot of nightshades involved, though - not sure how to get around that. Also, about a month ago I posted a recipe for Georgian sausage. I think you'll be able to find it by searching my profile.
I am still going through your Mongolian diary, but already, so much is familiar to me. I used to have a lot of trouble with acne, until I got treated in Belarus. God knows what they did to my face. I think it involved some sort of motor oil.. In any case, when I eat this way, I notice that I break out far less frequently than when there is sugar and flour clogging up my body. Also familar was the feeling that, when at someone's house, you should eat what they serve you (unless they ask what you'd prefer).
Anyway, I read an interesting article last night and thought to pass it on to you. It's about a Russian family of Old Believers who, just before WWII, ran away to the wilderness of Siberia so that they could practice their religion without being persecuted. Not hugely related to Primal eating (they lived on small amounts of grains and foraging, sometimes hunting), but a very intriguing look into folks who didn't like the direction the world was going and decided to check out: [url=http://www.smithsonianmag.com/history-archaeology/For-40-Years-This-Russian-Family-Was-Cut-Off-From-Human-Contact-Unaware-of-World-War-II-188843001.html]For 40 Years, This Russian Family Was Cut Off From All Human Contact, Unaware of WWII | History & Archaeology | Smithsonian Magazine[/url]
Be well and talk soon,
Re: Siberian Old Believers

Thanks for the feedback on salo and Georgian food! Yeah I had that issue from time to time... pretty fascinating time to transition to "primal" as it made me realize how different Russian food processing is!!! I actually used to get these Belarussian cookies, from the "Spartak" company that had like 60 grams of sugar for a small pack of wafers! There's also this whole "bez GMO" thing going on with Russian products that I think is to a large degree about supporting Russian/Soviet products and not Coke, Nestle, etc. ...
I should write some entries on that stuff. Also, yeah more on dairy. My system seems pretty shocked by American (grassfed) dairy, don't know if it's the different casein or what.

British orthodonist on facial deformation studied by Weston Price... it's about hardness of food he argues.
Mongolians are constantly saying how aaruul (dried curds) are excellent for tooth health. Foreigners complain they are rock hard! (Indeed, too hard for one of my composite fillings ;) ).

President Barack Obama stated the obvious Wednesday night when he said, "We've got to get out of the habit of governing by crisis."
The latest crisis finally ended Thursday morning when the president signed legislation to stop the 16-day partial shutdown of the federal government and raise the debt ceiling.
But Washington's "habit of governing by crisis" won't easily be broken.
Nor will other reckless governing habits that both major parties have perpetuated in recent years.
Some Republican lawmakers can be fairly accused of counterproductive partisanship in the latest clash of wills over budgetary matters.
Treasury Secretary Jack Lew and others, including the president, warned of a potential federal default if Congress didn't raise the debt ceiling by Thursday.
Maybe, as some experts insist, that alarm was overstated.
Yet there's no doubt that the extended debt-ceiling stalemate gave world financial markets a severe case of the jitters.
Still, all six of South Carolina's Republicans in the U.S. House voted against the compromise, as did GOP Sen. Tim Scott.
The only members of the S.C. congressional delegation to make the right call by voting for it were Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham and 6th District Rep. Jim Clyburn, the third-ranking Democrat in the House.
However, before being too hard on the conservatives who forced the debt-ceiling and shutdown showdowns, keep in mind that President Obama displayed some partisan stubbornness of his own during this dreary drama. (Or was it a familiar farce?)
The president repeatedly refused to negotiate spending cuts as a condition of the debt-ceiling increase.
And though he prudently proclaimed Thursday that there were "no winners" in this political brawl, many Democrats were predictably crowing about their party's victory.
Yes, the debt ceiling needed to go up — again. But raising it when the national debt is already a record $16.7 trillion is hardly cause for celebration.
Yes, the 2013 fiscal year's deficit was the lowest since Mr. Obama became president. But it's also the fifth highest in U.S. history — and the top five all came in the last five years.
That, however, didn't stop the president from stretching the positive case Thursday: "Our deficits are half of what they were a few years ago. The debt problems we have now are long term."
At least he acknowledged the long-term red-ink challenge.
And at least now that the GOP has given up its misguided effort to "defund" the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, public attention shouldn't be as distracted from how utterly unaffordable that law is.
As for that Oct. 1 Obamacare website "rollout," it looks more like a wipeout.
However, the president got another point right Thursday when he conceded that "the American people are completely fed up with Washington."
That widespread dismay isn't confined to either party.
Republicans should learn some basic math from their most recent exercise in quixotic legislative futility: One Democratic Senate plus one Democratic president equals more than one GOP House.
Sure, Republican lawmakers have a constitutional right to oppose the unsustainable budgetary policies of the opposition party.
But to prevail in the ongoing debate about Washington's proper role, conservatives must do more than just say no to big government. They must win elections by presenting positive alternatives.
Meanwhile, another "crisis" looms. Wednesday night's deal authorized current spending levels only through Jan. 15, and the debt-ceiling hike only through Feb. 7.
So brace for more blame games in Washington as politicians from both parties keep dodging difficult spending — and taxing — decisions.
And as their rancorous rhetoric keeps rising, so will our record national debt.
