Over the past few months President Thein Sein has gone out on a limb to appear PR-savvy, media-friendly and all-inclusive.
Now his office has gone one step further in opening an online postbox, allowing ordinary citizens to vent their opinions, criticize the government, ask questions, make appeals, and even accuse officials of bribery and corruption.
The interactive move began on Friday and the official website has already received more than 50 messages, according to the director-general of the President's Office, Maj Zaw Htay, who himself posted comments on Facebook encouraging a public response.
Zaw Htay noted, however, that the majority of the messages received to date had been sent anonymously despite the requirement for all users to list their names, email addresses, phone numbers, ID card numbers and places of residence—an indication, perhaps, that an air of distrust still pervades Burmese cyberspace.
Zaw Htay also stated on his page that the President welcomes the public's suggestions about reform, that they should express their concerns, and report cases of corruption, abuse of power or other complaints.
Over the past year since Thein Sein took power, a culture of submitting written letters of complaint and petitions to the President's Office has become popular culture in Burma, especially among farmers who claim their lands have been seized, factory workers and other low-paid laborers, and victims of corrupt administrators.
The most popular case was overwhelmingly the outpouring of opposition to the construction of the Myitsone Dam project at the confluence of the Irrawaddy River. The campaign was ultimately proved successful a year ago when the president ordered a postponement of the project.
"The public can never know whether their letters of complaint are taken seriously," said the general-secretary No. 1 of the Unity and Diversity Party (UDP), Aung Myo Oo, who met with Thein Sein in August at his office in Naypyidaw.
Aung Myo Oo said he and his party colleagues are also working to help farmers with land issues. UDP leader Nay Myo Wai is currently facing trial after being sued by the Zaykabar Company for defamation. The company, owned by parliamentarian Khin Shwe, allegedly confiscated farmland in Rangoon's Mingaladon Township.
Aung Myo Oo said the president appears to be taking the matter of public affairs seriously and had raised the issue of letters of complaint during their meeting.
Observers have roundly applauded the president for his reformist moves, and say he is moving with the times. Until now, most commentators say, it has been widely perceived among the public that any disputes or social issues are not dealt with seriously unless they are publicized in the media.
President Thein Sein last week appointed four new ministers to the President's Office, despite some objections by MPs at the recent parliamentary session which ended on Friday. The president said these four new ministers will help improve efficiency within the administration as it deals with issues of reform and the peace process.
Pe Myint, the editor of the weekly People's Age journal based in Rangoon told The Irrawaddy that "The government should create a mechanism to collaborate with the representatives of abused people in order to solve their problems."
Maung Lwin, a farmer at the Bawnetgyi village in the Pegu region told The Irrawaddy on Monday that the township authorities have just begun an investigation into their letter of complaint about a corrupt village administrator. "We submitted the letter two weeks ago and now all 54 villagers have been summoned by the Pegu township administrator to testify about the village administrator's wrongdoing," he said.
Nay Win, a resident of Pegu, said this incident marks the first time he has heard of the authorities taking public action against one of their own.
Thein Sein welcomed all the new ministers on Monday, referring to them as public servants who are to "take the initiative without awaiting directives from their superiors or for criticism of the media to shape the government response."
But Burma still lacks "information-transparency," said Pe Myint. "The government should regularly release information by holding press conferences on each relevant sector," he said.
Propaganda is a soft weapon; hold it in your hands too long, and it will move about like a snake, and strike the other way.
Actions will speak loudest, hopefully it will not fizzle out..
This bold and unprecedented step by President Thein Sein and his Office is most welcome and deserve high commendation. The very thought that one can communicate directly with the Presidet will give comfort and confidence to the citizens that Thein Sein "cares about them". That he is one them. Come to think of it, this is perhaps the first time since the country's independence in 1948 that the Head of the Government and Head of the State to tell the people to contact him with their problems.

Congratulations for this online post box.Give 24/7 electric power and efficient internet services.We will send our mails.But make sure no knocks at our door during unearthly hours.
what I am reading in the news is fantastic. for the 6. time i will come to Myanmar next year. just one problem: we do not have an embassy in danmark where i live,why is it not possible to get the visa on arrival? it a big problem ….
FAIR ENOUGH I should say!
It seems Thein Sein wants to go further – getting information about what's going on in the country under his watch of course – and take action accordingly and in line with his obligations as well.
That's a SMART MOVE as well on the part of Than Shwe's clerk of course.
However, I am still in quandry over this guy's moves so far to be honest.
The CRUX of the MATTER in Burma is LACK of LAW and ORDER no doubt.
Daw Suu's got the IDEA since day one; hence she says RULE of LAW is NON-NEGOTIABLE and UNQUESTIONABLE for Burma's future as well.
And RULE of LAW should START from Thein Sein's court (parliament) at Naypyidaw of course.
Hence, AMENDING most preferably ABOLISHING Than Shwe's CONSTITUTION would be BEST for a START for that matter I bet.
Most importantly, the National Defense and Security Council – the KEY – holding absolute power and unlimited money for the JOB – continued military domination of Burma – should be ASSIGNED to the DUST BIN of HISTORY first and foremost to be followed by SCRAPPING of the clause IMMUNITY/IMPUNITY from crimes – mass/monk murders committed by Than Shwe and members of the police/armed forces while cracking down on demonstrations/dissent including the point blank shooting dead of a Japanese photo journalist in broad daylight in 2007 and of course student activists and members of the opposition (NLD and others) murdered while in detention and interrogations not to mention using rape as weapon of war on members of the ethnic minorities and forced relocation of ethnic people and of course forced labor and child soldiers as well no less.
Today Thein Sein's playing possum of course, ignoring the fact and beating around the bush today I say.
Cornering Daw Suu in his corral (parliament) begs accolades/commends of course if not a master stroke.
But he lets the cat out of the bag – a dud president if not a puppet exactly on Than Shwe's stage (parliament) – playing dumb/deaf when Min Aung Hlaing ignored – several times – his orders to stop leaning on the KIA/Kachins.
While Daw Suu is on her way collecting medals and honorary citizenships around the world the Chinese communists are paying visits to Burma.
And leaning on Thein Sein as well, you bet?
Is it a mere case of coincidence?
I greatly doubt it of course.
Thein Sein's online postbox GIMMICK doesn't hold any water much less fool me for that matter either as well folks.
And the big picture as I see today to be honest: Thein Sein is using all his tricks/wits in his cranium and closet COVERING Than Shwe's ass while SWEEPING UNDER THE CARPET his bloody DEEDS/HISTORY at the moment.
NOBODY'S ABOVE THE LAW growls Shwe Mann on past several occasions and lately as well I heard.
Let's see whether he can do anything about it folks!
Can you please send me the email address or the link for President Thein Sein's online postbox? Thank You !! Regards – Mal
I am so glad that Daw Suu is leading "Rule of Law Committee". We do not need to write to Than Shwe or Thein Sein. Whatever we feel important, we will rather write to this committee. We do not trust them but trust her.
@ Mal Milligan
Seems it is just another PR exercise. If the email address or the link for President Thein Sein's online postbox cannot be found by us in the West searching all over the net, what chance do the majority of the Burmese people living in Burma have ?
I like and appreciate the way leaders open up themselves to have access to the people and access by the people. This is a right thing
i want send by president post how can i do?
I also want to know how to do. I can't find any link to go.

Need to Earn Part Time Income?
There are a lot of things a person can do if they want to earn a part time income. One of the obvious choices a person can make is simply getting another job. While I'm not against jobs and putting in a little extra time and effort to make some cash on the side I am a person that likes the idea of creating a leveraged income.
However for most people keeping things simple and trading their time for money seems like the most logical choice. Most folks would rather put in over time or work weekends and holidays than step into unfamiliar territory. See a lot of people think that starting their own business involves taking on a huge financial burden and giving their whole life to their business.
Are the Traditional ways of Earning a Part Time Income the Best Ways?
As Robert Kiyosaki says "The industrial age ended in the 1990's… We have entered into a new era…The age of information." You see most people don't realize that there has been a major shift in the way we do business and the way we build businesses. In the days of old you had to have a brick and mortar store, you had to have employees, and you had to stock products. These days almost everything can be done electronically just look at Amazon or Ebay. To take it a step further you don't even need to have an actual physical product… You can simply sell information. Just think of it, a bank deposit and a quick transfer of data to the customer and you're done.
Leverage Your Part Time Income
People do it on the internet all the time. They find a product, market it, make a sale and collect a commission. Some people even go so far as to make their own product and keep all the profit or they'll let other people sell their product and give them a commission. No employees no store to manage and no issues with having enough inventory.
Basically Here's Your Income Options
By now you're probably saying "That's all fine and dandy Eric but what's a good way to earn a part time income?" Well let me tell you this. You only have a few choices.
1) You can work for someone else and let them leverage your time to make them more money.
2) Maybe you can do some side jobs if you have a skill set like carpentry or plumming or something like that.
3)You can become self employed but don't kid yourself you're still trading your time for money and your latest customer is your BOSS.
4) You can start your own traditional business, work your tail off for the first few years, manage employees, and still basically be trading your time for money (unless your business really takes off).
Or… You can find a system to leverage that will pay you 100% commissions on all of their products. A system that lets you leverage someone else's work and you get all of the profit…Hmmmmm… Click Here if you don't believe me.

Task specific browsers with Fluid - the making of the "Acquia Browser"Submitted by Gábor Hojtsy on Mon, 10/27/2008 - 15:57
For those better in the know then I am, Fluid.app might be quite old news. I however just got on the bandwagon recently, and I thoroughly enjoy it. Fluid is a Mac OS X application, which acknowledges the fact that we are not using "the browser" anymore, but we are working on our days jobs, using our private email, posting photos, chatting with friends, etc. And these are all distinct activities or tasks we do. So we would be more comfortable looking for our "photo app", "chat app", "email app" or even "work app", but most of our interactions are now done on the web, so all these are tucked under the "browser app".

TravelPod Member ReviewsL'hotel Causeway Bay Harbour View Hong Kong
Great location next to Victoria Park
This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
Historical Traveler Reviews L'hotel Causeway Bay Harbour View Hong Kong
Bright, Modern, Great Location
My wife and I stayed here for three nights in June 2006. We certainly recommend it for location and comfort. L'Hotel is near Causeway Bay, just across the street from a metro stop and on one of the main bus routes. Shops for food, water, etc., are nearby and a laundry is just across a sidestreet. We were easily able to reach all the major parts of the city from the hotel with minimal walking. For example, we went to Stanley Market by catching a bus that ran right by the hotel, and we could reach Kowloon by taking the metro or by metro/ferry combination.
L'Hotel is very new and modern, like most of Hong Kong. We had a large, nicely furnished room with a peek-a-boo view of the harbor. The room had a table and chairs near the window, a built-in dresser and t.v. stand along one wall, and a large closet/armoire along another.
The bathroom was large and attractive, with ample counter space, and a tub/shower combination that worked well.
The breakfast buffet was extensive and very good, served in an attractive restaurant above the lobby, with a glass wall view of the skyline. We also had a dinner buffet one evening in the restaurant which was very good, but in Hong Kong there are undoubtedly better choices.
The lobby area of the hotel was modern and very attractive, and had two computers with complementary high-speed internet access. The staff were eager to please, friendly, and spoke very good English.
A great small hotel within budget
My boyfriend and I stayed at this hotel in June for a week and were surprised to find such a great little hotel just outside the bustle. Brilliantly located right opposite the Tin Hau MTR (exit A1), there are also trams and buses to all destinations - so very convenient to get everywhere. Staff were very helpful with any questions and queries, and were very prompt to rectify anything.
There are two internet stations guests can use in the lobby, they became a little busy in the morning and early evening! Check-in staff didn't inform us of all the services (pool, bar, gym, etc.) on offer, but were more than helpful when quizzed. We were put in a room on the 37th floor facing the Victoria Harbour and Victoria Park, try to get the rooms with this view as they are well worth it when your are having a morning cup of tea watching everything go by. Rooms are of a good size for Hong Kong hotels, all fixtures and fittings are brand new as it is a new hotel built this year. Beds are a little hard, but after a day whizzing around HK, you'll have a great sleep!
There are places to eat locally, but head to Causeway Bay where there is a much bigger choice. The hotel breakfast is a bit pricey, best to try outside. Walk through Victoria Park to Causeway Bay in the morning, it's a wonderful park with lots of locals working on their Tai Chi moves amongst other things.
We were charged for the local calls made from our room, use the phones in the lobby (there is no charge to call locally in HK - local landline to landline). All staff spoke good English and were very helpful about storing our luggage from the time we checked out at 12pm, to the time we picked them up at 9pm. All in all, we had a lovely time here, I will stay again and recommend it.
Good value choice
If you're looking for a well located hotel at a reasonable price then L'hotel fits the bill. Its situated just opposite Tin Hau MTR station and within easy walking distance of the main Causeway bay shopping area. The rooms are fairly small and there is not a great deal of storage space but the bathroom was spacious and there was a fridge and bottled water provided daily. Our package included breakfast which was good for convenience but not worth paying too high a premium for. Staff were friendly and helpful but some of their english could have been improved. Overall a good value hotel.
Good Location, Good Rooms
I stayed at the L'Hotel Casueway Bay in April 2006. The Hotel is conviently located near Tin Hau MTR station, you can also get a tram or Bus to Causeway Bay/Wan Chai/Central. The rooms are a reasonable size and clean. Did not have time to check out the facilities such Gym/Pool. The menu for the dinning was expensive, I suggest you travel the couple of minutes to Causeway Bay Restaurants.
Free broadband is available to laptop users, however those with out a laptop will have to pay for Internet access, and there is only one PC availble so you may also have to wait quite some time.
During April I also stayed at Express Holiday Inn and Lan Kwai Fong Hotel. My preference is for the Express Holiday Inn as it has a better location, internet facilities and free breakfast.
A small new hotel with Astounding Rude Assist Manager & lobby staff
Last week we were invited to a wedding in Hong Kong. The host family put us in the newest hotel in the quiet end of Causeway Bay/Tinhau area for 4 nights. The ingress of the L'hotel is at an alleylike deadend street.
We arrived May 6 evening. We were dropped off to check in while the host sent the rest of our bags to the hotel.
The Assistant Manger and two staff were at the main entrace. There was a truck parked right in front of the main entrace that blocked the whole loading and unloading area. I advised the 'Assistant Manger' that my host had to unload my bags. The 'Assistant Manger' ignored me as if I was a passerby. My host had to get off the car to request the staff to bid the truck to move away. The Assistant Manger was so rude and reluctant to ask the staff to hush the truck away.
After I unloaded my bags with the staff onlooking yet offered no hands!!! my host wished to come up to make sure our room is ok. He requested to temporary park the car at the carport. It's unorthodox of a new hotel to inaugurate her service in such rudeness,. the assitant manager and two ground staff were RUDE, cold and apathetic waved my host away. I was so astounded and embarrassed. However, I am sure these staff has brought blemish to imageof the new L'hotel and neither my host nor our family will return to L'Hotel.
However, such servce has been pretty consistent to some other Korean visitors as we observed throughout our stay.
Contrary, the Rennaisance Harborview hotel that we later moved to offered such impeccable service, with bell service and offered my host a parking space so that we can chill out with a drink in the lobby lounge.
The rooms of the L'hotel are small. The room is clean (of course, it's almost brand new) neutrally simplistic decorated. Free internet service (with one terminal) at the lobby area. Not many rooms got view like the candid photos of one of the reviews listed earlier. I believed that's the best corner suite. The hotel is located right across the Tinhau subway station. THe area is away from the hustles and bustles of the shopping area which is one subway station away or 15-min walk through the Victoria Central Park.
The hotel cafe offers a very reasonable and decent semi-buffet 3-course lunch for around USD13. Selection of the buffet style appetisers and desserts are limited, however, the main entree was impressive taking into account of the price. It comes with coffee or tea as well. Good value, we were there twice, however, if there are more staff are allocated to the cafe, the lunch would be perfect.
Nice little hotel in Tin Hau
Arrived April 20, 2006. Hotel is on a side street overlooking King's road, with a partial view of the harbor, and a direct view into the neighbor's window, typical Hong Kong! Staff is extremely helpful, and for whatever reason, I was upgraded to a corner suite with 2 baths. Amazing! Decor is simple and clean, without a lot of stuffiness found in most mid price hotels. Wood floor, white porcelain, very contemporary. Paid 1500 HKD/night, so not cheap, but mid price for the Island. I've paid more and got less before!
Found a 24 hour Dim Sum place right across the street, stores and restaraunts all around, and the massage place recommended by the hotel is pretty good. Not the best, but reasonable at 138 HKD per hour. Tin Hau station is 2 min. by foot, trolley runs right outside the door. Very convenient for tourists or business.
Brand spanking new
A haven after a long haul flight this new hotel (opened Jan 2006) met our every need The claimed three minute walk from the train station was accurate - beat that for convenience! Reception was professional and welcoming but dignified; our every query was treated with respect and helpfulness Day or night the view from our 37th floor corner windows was a panoramic glory - and we didn't even have a harbour view room! Our room was a visual delight - in fact the whole hotel says 'design' Comfort included mattress covers to soften the predictable firm Hong Kong beds, supersoft doonas and a stunning bathroom Restaurant buffet is good catering for international tastes and service attentive We were fortunate to have opening-special tariff so our stay was a boon This hotel is unhesitatingly recommended
Convenient New Hotel at good rate
Our party of 4 stayed at the L'Hotel for three nights in Feb 06. From the outside and lobby the hotel looks very new. Upon check in, the manager saw that we were a family and gave us two adjoining rooms on the 35th floor with a magnificent view over the harbour and hong kong island. We had to wait 30 mins till the rooms were made up but it was worth it.
Rooms were nicely decorated in a contemporary and minimalistic style. I appreciated the wooden floors which made a change from dodgy carpets found in other hotels. There was also an adapter so I could use my / \ pronged shaver which was a nice touch other hotels dont always provide. The building is basically a high rise sliver building so there are only rooms on one side of the building. Bathroom was nice and spacious. Elevators were efficient and speedy.
The gym and swimming pool were still under construction when we stayed there and will be located on the top floor once they are opened. We didnt try the restaurant downstairs but it looked quite fancy. There are also lots of little cafes, restaurants and supermarkets in the area around the hotel.
Location is pretty convenient. Alighting from airport bus at Tian Hau you have to walk back the way you came, around a corner and up the street and on leaving it's another walk up to the airport bus stop. If you have massive amounts of luggage that may be a problem. However there is a subway station and tram stop right across from the entrance so it takes only 5 mins to get to the shopping districts in Causeway Bay.
Basically this hotel is comparable to Metropark Hotel, but offering lower rates. I booked through wotif dot com and paid around HK$680 incl tax.

Warhol? Matisse? Bayfront Gallery in Erie offers unique event
Bayfront Gallery is ordinarily closed in October, but the doors will swing open for a special event this weekend. Several collectors opted to dissolve or downsize their collections, which means first-rate pieces by local and national artists -- including Matisse, Peter Max, Andy Warhol and Roy Ahlgren -- will be available.

The spiral saw, Helicoprion (1899)
Phylum : Chordata
Class : Chondrichthyes
Subclass : Holocephali
Order : Eugeneodontida
Family : Agassizodontidae
Genus : Helicoprion
Species : H. bessonovi, H. davish, H. ferrieri, H. ergasaminon, H. jingmenense, H. mexicanus, H. nevadensis, H. sierrensis
The only surviving evidence of the prehistoric shark Helicoprion is a tight, curled-up coil of triangular teeth, a bit like a fruit roll-up, but considerably deadlier. As far as paleontologists can tell, this bizarre structure was attached to the bottom part of Helicoprion's jaw, but exactly how it was used, and on what prey, remains a mystery. Some experts think the coil was used to grind away the shells of swallowed mollusks, while others (perhaps influenced by the movie Alien) think Helicoprion unfurled the coil explosively like a whip, spearing any unfortunate creatures in its path. Whatever the case, the existence of this coil is proof that the natural world can be stranger than (or at least as strange as) fiction!
A recent fossil analysis, conducted with the aid of a high-resolution CT scanner, appears to have solved the Helicoprion enigma. Apparently, this creature's whirled teeth were actually housed inside the bone of its lower jaw; the new teeth gradually "unfurled" into Helicoprion's mouth and pushed the older ones further away (indicating either that Helicoprion replaced its teeth unusually rapidly, or that it subsisted on soft-bodied prey like squids). In addition, when Helicoprion closed its mouth, its distinctive tooth whorl pushed food further into the back of its throat. In this same article, the authors argue that Helicoprion was not in fact a shark, but a prehistoric relative of the cartilaginous fish known as "ratfish."

Mayweather-Khan Hits UK Stadium in The Next 18 Months?
FLOYD MAYWEATHER is planning to have a British fight inside the next 18 months.
That fight could even be an open air stadium defence of his WBC welterweight title against Amir Khan.
Bolton's Khan is ranked number two contender for the unbeaten American superstar's title.
Mayweather, 36, bids for 44th career win in Las Vegas on Saturday night when he puts his crown on the line against California's Robert Guerrero, live and exclusive on BoxNation (Sky Ch. 437/Virgin Ch. 546).
His adviser Leonard Ellerbe said: "Floyd cannot wait until we can come over there and give the UK fans a big, big fight.
"Floyd has a tremendous fan base in the UK and we're looking at working on something now where he's going to come over there.
"Ever since the Ricky Hatton fight back in 2007, UK fans have been very loyal to Floyd and he definitely acknowledges that and he wants to bring a big, big event to the UK.
"There's definitely a very strong possibility that Floyd will fight in the UK. We'll see how this thing plays out, his focus is Saturday night and then we'll go from there.
"But we're definitely going to bring a big, big event to the UK."
Mayweather plans to start the build-up to a major British fight with a tour later this year where he'll meet fans and make high profile TV appearances.
Ellerbe told Bunce's Boxing Hour on BoxNation: "He won't be over for a fight initially, but we're going to come over there and do some stuff.
"I'm talking with a couple people now and they're giving me some options, and Floyd will definitely be coming to the UK.
"The UK are his biggest and best fans. He has tremendous love affair for the UK fans."
Mayweather v Guerrero is live and exclusive on BoxNation (Sky Ch. 347/Virgin Ch. 546) with coverage starting on Sunday morning from 1.30am. Join at www.boxnation.com

I'm not a Khan hater, and he's kinda fun to watch, but.... Aren't there more deserving fighters to face Floyd than Khan? Seriously... there's more than a handful of fighters out there who are more deserving, and who in all…Comment by SCEN3RY on 05-03-2013
Khan and Brook should square off for a shot at Alexander's belt. And the winner of that fight could face Floyd, I guess.Post a Comment - View More User Comments (105)

Architectural Fantasy
Gift of Janos Scholz
Piranesi exerted considerable influence on late-eighteenth-century architecture through his hauntingly beautiful etchings, such as the Views of Rome and the prison compositions known as the Carceri. Here the classical triumphal arch—usually freestanding—has been incorporated into a complex building. Remarkable grandeur and drama are achieved through the close presentation of the edifice at an oblique angle and from a low vantage point, techniques often used in contemporaneous stage designs.

The SCORE project has officially completed its 2-year activity on 31st January 2009 and, according to the review report, it successfully managed to contribute to the strengthening of the strategic cooperation between the EU and the Western Balkans in the ICT research field.
SCORE has in fact identified and defined the next key research priorities of the Western Balkan region in order to induce and maximize the possibilities of scientific and technological collaboration with EU countries, with particular emphasis on FP7.
The Strategic Research Agendas: ICT R&D Priorities for the WB countries 2008 2013 and the Policy Paper: Shaping EU-Western Balkan co-operation in the field of ICT Research and Development in the period 2008 2013: Priorities and Recommendations are the two main tangible outputs.
Download the main project results below
SCORE also succeeded, as reported by the project reviewers, to create a sustainable network of subject matter experts within the WB region, and to build contacts with high level policy makers in each of the covered countries. The project should be considered therefore as a case study and its achievements shouldnt remain stored in the shelf but rather be exploited and leveraged by following supporting actions in the region.
Thus SCORE delivered its results and experience mainly to the FP7 WINS-ICT and WBC-INCO.NET actions that will continue and further develop the SCORE project achievements
The SCORE portal will be kept on-line for the next three year but its information content will be further improved and made available by WINS-ICT portal
Wishing you fruitful ICT research cooperation,
the SCORE project team

FORT LUPTON - Rep. Betsy Markey, D-Colo., on Saturday repeated the mantra that health care must be reformed or it will cripple the nation's economy.
But several in the room at Aims Community College had their own message: It's the free-spending "drunken sailors" in Washington who are to blame for the economic shambles and massive federal deficit.
It's a refrain Markey has heard frequently on her recent meeting blitz in Colorado's 4th Congressional District. She has held several sessions so far - a couple large-group discussions and a few smaller-group forums, like in Fort Lupton - and has scheduled seven more starting Monday.
The Fort Lupton event drew a smaller-sized crowd, about 75 people, but it was equally charged with passions on the hot-button issue. After a man sternly opined that members of Congress are bent on "spending money like there's no tomorrow," Markey retorted more strongly than she had at previous meetings last week.
She said she voted against the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) as well as President Obama's budget.
"I won't vote for a (health care) bill that doesn't bring efficiencies into the system and lower the cost," Markey said. "For 47 million people, the only option for many of them is to go to an emergency room, which is the most expensive way to provide health care. We are reimbursing hospitals in this country over $50 billion a year because people don't have insurance. ... The people with insurance are the ones who are footing that bill. It's ridiculous."
The current House bill on health care, HR 3200, would require Americans to have health insurance.
"I didn't run for Congress to be some fat politician who goes and runs up the budget," Markey added. "You think that's what we want to do? No. And if you do, you're wrong. I'm trying to bring some sense to this process."
The Congresswoman was equally impassioned when a man questioned why she was holding small-group sessions rather than larger town hall meetings. Markey said it's her job to listen to her constituency, and she said she's holding enough of the forums, both small and large, to allow people to speak out.
There was also some rancor between members of the audience at Saturday's session. Applause greeted the man who said he's "sick of what I see ... and fear for my grandchildren for what you're doing today in Washington."
Applause also punctuated the remarks of a woman who followed with, "What we have here is a problem of approximately one in six of us not having health care. Fourteen thousand people a day are losing their insurance because they got sick, and now they're denied coverage because they have cancer or some other condition. ... Where do those people go?"
Most of the discussion centered on HR 3200, the House bill on health care reform that Markey said she would not support in its current form. The bill is too expensive, an estimated $1 trillion over 10 years, she said. Mostly, she disagrees with the provision to add 10 to 11 million people to Medicaid at a cost of $500 billion.
Any bill she votes for will be budget neutral, Markey said.
"We are right now spending more money than any other country on health care," she said. "It shouldn't cost us a trillion dollars to fix it."
Another man in the audience said the national debate on health care comes down to the business of spending money. He told Markey she works for her constituents and needs to return to Washington to streamline costs and "stop spending money, period."
He gave the audience and the Congresswoman kudos for joining the debate.
"The good thing is we're out here having discourse rather than at home wringing our hands," he said.

Orange Shades over Half Dome
It was a long windy drive to Glacier point. As we got closer, the cars were just backing up for miles.
"Parking Nightmare..." I sighed. We waited for what seemed like hours before we found a spot and lugged our way to the Glacier Point.
I was expecting a crowd but not many photographers, they were the crowd!
We waited until the sunset when the sky turned red, then orange, pink, purple and settled in to the dark blue of the night in matter of minutes.
Now that's, priceless!

Summer has been so hot and glorious, my outfits have been mostly tank tops and shorts with flip flops.
That's me reading MaddAdamm by the river. The grim future Atwood depicts in the book has inspired me so far to reorganize my recycling system, start composting and purchase collapsible travel containers. I am excited to be moving towards a more sustainable way of living.

Watch: Mariah Carey 'Shake It Off' in first post-baby concert
Mimi is in fine form in free New York performance
Mariah Carey performed an intimate show for her lambs last night at New York's Gotham Hall.
As is clear from this clip of "Shake It Off," Mimi is in fine form, 10 months after having babies Moroccan and Monroe. The tune, from 2005's "Emancipation of MiMi" is barely a song at all, but it's nice to see her back on stage regardless.
[More after the jump...]
According to Billboard.com, Carey's 40-minute set included several hits including "We Belong Together," "I'll Be There" and closer, "Hero."
Her show was part of a series of concerts promoted by Caesar's Entertainment and also featured Maroon 5 in Chicago. Cee Lo Green in Los Angeles and Mary J. Blige in New Orleans.

Accelerate & Retain Your Key Leaders
Designed for motivated mid-career leaders who are looking to take their career to the next level, The Roundtable for Leaders is a powerful leadership development process that harnesses the power of peer to peer interactions while also leveraging the benefits of one-on-one coaching and peer mentoring.
Working in small peer groups, leaders meet at regular intervals over 12 months. Led by an experienced group coach, they learn and share practical strategies and tools; discuss crucial issues related to their immediate challenges and opportunities; and, get feedback and insights to help them move forward against goals.
As part of the process, participants learn how to coach and mentor one another and how to accept and internalize feedback. Between sessions, they individually work on their
plans and, with the support of learning partners, implement new tools and strategies.
The process is powerful and intense and leads to sustained behaviour change. Personalized coaching around the core peer sessions provides further support on the leadership issues that matter most to them individually.
Graduates come away with clear direction on how to maximize their leadership and business impact, the confidence to make better decisions and lead with purpose and broadened capability in order to take on more.

Thanksgiving, Lament, and the Story We Tell
Thanksgiving. That word holds profound meaning for Americans, most of it nostalgic. I remember in grade school when our classes would present Thanksgiving pageants that retold the story of Thanksgiving. We all know it by rote:
The pilgrims were persecuted in England (probably because the men wore buckles on their hats, culottes, and white stockings — who does that?). Anyway, in 1620, they got in a boat and sailed to America, where they met brown people in paper cutout, feathered headdresses and hand-me-down 1970s fringe vests and wrangler jeans. The pilgrims said "Hi!" and the headdress people (called "Indians," for no good reason) said "How!" When the pilgrims realized they didn't know how to cook the food in this "new world," the Indians showed them how to cook cornbread, cranberry sauce, and collard greens (or at least that's how the story went in my school). Turkeys were plentiful in the new world, so when the hat buckle people and the headdress people held a feast in November of 1621 to celebrate their new friendship, a turkey sat at the center of the table.
This is the way modern adults struggle to teach children the foundations of our nation's history. What will it take for us to face our history head on — to face the sinful foundations upon which we stand?

The contraction of the global market for aluminium has gathered pace with the decision by Alcoa, one of the world's biggest producers, to shut down a plant in Sardinia to reduce its capacity.
The decision to permanently close the Portovesme operation, which has been mothballed since 2012, cuts Alcoa's smelting capacity to 3.6 million tonnes a year, a reduction of 150,000 tonnes. The company said that it would take a financial hit of up to $180 million in the third quarter as a result, but that 60 per cent of the writedown would be on the balance sheet instead of

Will try !! They look so healthy.
No flowers. Lots of new growth which I don't know what to do about either.
I have had a patio pear tree and plum tree now for 2 years. Still no fruit. What am I doing wrong?
I have a patio plum tree and a patio pear tree each are in a pot and I bought them last year. I had thought I would get fruit this year. They seem to both have gone to growth - no flowers therefore no fruit. Should I cut them back and if so by how much?
Thank you will have a look.
Yes exactly minus the beautiful flowers !!!
I have a Rhododendron in a pot which flowers beautifully from early June. This year the leaves are drooping and the flower buds (of which there are many) are just not opening. It is not lack of water as the pot is watered regularly. Any advice please? It is a sorry looking specimen!!
No I didn't prune as it isn't really that big. How much do you suggest I prune this year?
My Kilmarnock Willow had beautiful big catkins last year when I bought it. This year it seems to be going straight into leaf with no catkins. Any ideas why this had happened?
Doesn't sound good !! The leaves that are starting to appear look healthy enough just no flowers
I split them after flowering last year.

2nd International Conference ìSocial Inequality in South America: historical perspectivesî
Call for Papers Date:
Date Submitted:
Announcement ID:
The aim of the conference is to discuss social stratification and social mobility in South America in a historical perspective. The study of social inequality and social mobility caused by the processes of modernization of the western society is crucial to the development of the social sciences (especially sociology) as academic subject matters. However, from a historical point of view, these processes failed to be fully understood. Recently, with the development of huge databanks on the populations of the past, it has become possible to think about long-running processes on more solid empirical bases. Therefore, contemporary historians, sociologists and economists have ahead of them the challenge to look into the past in order to check whether the transformations observed in short-living situations would really be innovative and not just mere reverberations of deeper changes that would mark contemporary society since at least the beginning of the 20th century. In the construction of this approach, the contribution of the historian is vital to prevent anachronisms, which occurs when one tries to see in the past the processes that are not pertinent to it.
Once these approaches supplied by the advance of the databanks on historical data have been made available, there emerged a need for the standardization of the procedures and for working on comparisons, both in terms of space and time. In the case of studies of social inequality and social mobility, there is a consolidated tradition that anchors class typologies and structures on occupation found in censuses or other sources. The first purpose of this conference is to advance in the comparative approach of the theme related to social inequality and social mobility in the South American national societies by tackling this challenge. In order to overcome the problems posed by standardization, we advise the authors to adopt HISCO, Historical International Standard Classification of Occupation, a single occupational code already tested in Europe and in some non-European countries.
The second challenge, related to the need to establish long-running comparisons without falling back on anachronism, will be meet with the inclusion of other variables in the description of social class positions in colonial and post-colonial realities, particularly the South American ones. To this end, we intend to incorporate studies that investigate the extent to which the considerations on social condition and ethnic/race origin heighten the sensitivity of the description of these social realities.
Connecting these issues, we will organize the conference in the following axes:
a. Social stratification in South America;
b. Intergenerational social mobility in South America;
c. Social homogamy in South America: social, cultural, demographic and economic aspects;
d. Economic dimensions of social inequality in South America and their consequences for social mobility;
e. Methodological approaches.
We seek papers that will engage a wide range of disciplines, including history, sociology, economy, anthropology, demography, and race and gender studies. In order to be considered, applicants should email their proposals to firstname.lastname@example.com by April 1, 2011. Proposals should include a one-page c.v. and an abstract of no more than 350 words. Paper presentations will be limited to 20 minutes. Limited financial support is available for participants' travel and housing expenses. Decisions will be announced by May 2, 2011. First draft papers will be requested in June 6.

The New York Mets have done well to bolster their farm system under the Sandy Alderson regime and continued to do so during the 2013 MLB First-Year Player Draft by drafting high school first baseman Dominic Smith and a slew of other high-potential prospects.
Thanks to the influx of fresh, young talent, the Mets top 15 prospect list has been shaken up a bit. Smith, as you probably expected, is ranked in the top half of prospects on this list for his hitting potential and already stellar defense.
Smith isn't the only 2013 draftee who made the cut, though. The Mets were able to make some sensible—albeit young—picks this year, but we won't know if Alderson, Paul DePodesta and Co. made the right calls until at least four of five years from now.
Read on to find out the new top 15 prospects in the Mets farm system, as Bleacher Report provides you with updated post-draft rankings.
