Some rep(R) in the GA statehouse is attempting to establish the mechanics in GA now. Private enterprise(orgs) propose projects and work with gov't and w/o giving prior notice, or bids, simply go ahead with the private proposal. The use of emminet domain to enable the public works "proposals" is a key part.

This is the first I've heard of it....thanks.
The weight of the UN's corruption and venality must be what's keeping it pinned down alongside the river there in NY.
You're deep into kook territory now.
I know the Sea of Treaty Law gives the UN the power to tax us on certain things.
I know the Sea of Treaty Law gives the UN the power to tax us on certain things.
Yep, I am one of those. It irked me no end to find out that the Liberty Bell is now under the ownership of the UN.
Yes, for the most part that's true.
The large developers are well funded. They tend the local councils and they in turn are grateful. The local councils are usually composed of folks that love these ideas. That's why they're there in the first place.
Almost daily there are people who are upset at the Imminent domain policy being used by cooperations to steal property.
Admittedly there are many notable corrupt and incompetent appearing figureheads at the UN, Heck, the Congress seems that way, too.
Don't let that blind you to the career staffers whose competence keeps the wheels turning in both organizations.
The ones doing the armwaving in front are a cover for the dangerous ones in the shadows.
Developing Natural Heritage 2020 is an ambitious undertaking and in recognition of this fact, the County is partnering with the Sierra Business Council (SBC), a local organization with demonstrated expertise in conservation planning, public participation strategy design and other skills, to help complete the project.
This was all funded by the Packard Foundation.
"The UN cannot even find it's way to the bathroom - let alone dissolve America's sovereignty"
that's funny.
I knew something was happening in this country concerning all the property being taken away for citizens. Until now I couldn't put it all together, something was missing. Agenda 21 just tied it all together for me.
The Navy is certainly a good organization.
Should read-----away 'from' citizens.
What does that tell you about the treaty?
Let them scoff. We'll see who gets it if this comes to fruition.
Schwarzenegger is about 1/100,000ths as important as the NGOs themselves are. That's because their members are out there helping to network these across the nation, one community at a time. Selling grandma and grandpa on the concept of willing their property to the state or some conservency is one of their methods. Another is for them to convince communities that they should buy up land and place it off limits.
Schwarzenegger was an idiot for doing what he did, but he'll be gone in a few years and the conservancies will still be around. We need to focus on destroying them. Frankly destroying Arnold's future viability as a candidate would a a good secondary goal.
Let's face it, the conservancy you are upset about, would have become reality just about no matter what. Only if Tom would have won would it have been struck down. That wasn't going to happen.
Thanks for posting that article. I am going to forward it along to some folks who need some help in Oklahoma.
Did you know that under the provisions of L.O.S.T. mandate that the United States must share certain technologies with other countries? These technologies will include military secrets?
The UN!!!!!
They protect all the potentates in Africa and beyond.
What a lot of folks don't understand, it's not necessary or required to actually own something to control it.
UN.org: "UNITED NATIONS DIVISION FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT AGENDA 21" (UN WEB SITE SNIPPET: "Agenda 21 is a comprehensive plan of action to be taken globally, nationally and locally by organizations of the United Nations System, Governments, and Major Groups in every area in which human impacts on the environment.")
It appears to be very much part of the land. Thanks for posting the article, I've sent it along to some of my timber owning friends here in Santa Cruz County CA
What is that?
I doubt that. Davis did veto it remember. It would not have passes except that it was pushed by Arnold.
I agree. And the UN just sits back and watches. Look at Darfur today, same thing happening again. But the UN will not call it genocide.
It was Amendment 24 in Colorado in 2000, with mentions of "smart growth," "sustainable development" and the like. We defeated it. ...might have also been a county (non-amendment) ballot issue on that here then. Hedgetrimmer, you might want to have your Oklahoma acquaintainces search and look over the information on the Web about the Colorado episode.
Keywords: colorado "Amendment 24"
(with the quotes)
You'll see many more hits than the following with those keywords in the search engine.
Basic information on Amendment 24
Basic information on Amendment 24
Submitted by Roxanne Fry on 07:55:23 09/23/00:
Amendment 24, a proposal by the Colorado Environmental Coalition, mandates that local governments comply with statewide provisions stipulated in the amendment to limit growth. Under the amendment, local governments must designate committed growth areas where development is underway and designate future growth areas where development may occur over a determined period of time. The voters at a November election shall approve these Growth area maps, and a corresponding growth impact statement. Any subsequent amendment to the Growth Area Map must be placed before the voters within the jurisdiction at a subsequent November election. This 2,200-word amendment to the Colorado Constitution opens the doors to serious implications for affordable housing, agriculture, economic development, and business.
· IMPOSSIBLE TO GROW YOUR BUSINESS. The amendment locks us into a growth area or a no growth area, and then makes it virtually impossible to obtain approval for business expansion, office buildings, commercial centers, and development, much less future schools, roads, and homes outside of urban areas.
· REDUCED LAND VALUES. If voters fail to approve growth area maps, farm and ranch land near urban areas would diminish in value dramatically.
· COSTLY LITIGATION. The threat of litigation will prevent local governments from instating Smart Growth management plans.
· INFRINGES ON PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS. Landowners trying to divide even one tract of land would be prohibited from doing so unless voters approve an amendment to a growth area map.
· HOUSING COSTS. This amendment will drive up the costs of new homes and restricts the available affordable housing. Housing will be so expensive that many of our public servants like teachers, policemen and firefighters will not be able to live in the communities they serve.
· COSTLY ELECTIONS. Requires costly and confusing citywide and countywide elections once a year to amend growth maps to allow any growth. All plans of would be sent to all voters prior to election.
· ENDS LOCAL CONTROL. Requires the consent of adjacent local governments to change a growth area map. The initiative says that growth area maps shall not conflict with or overlap existing or proposed growth areas of another local government. So one local government can be held hostage by a neighboring government. The initiative transfers a portion of the approval process from those living in a locality to citizens in adjacent towns and counties.
· FORCES A $60 MILLION PRICE TAG ON TAXPAYERS. This measure wastes your taxes on red tape and severely reduces hard to come by affordable housing. It will push unfounded mandates on local government. Crippling financial obligations will be imposed on cites and counties.
· ADDS 2200 WORDS TO THE COLORADO CONSTITUTION. Amends the Constitution with over 2200 words of complex procedures to limit local governments and to outline citizens management of growth. This one-size-fits-all approach opens the door to devastating unintended consequences.
I definitely don't want to argue with you. I also thank you for your loyalty and serving our country.
It is just that some of us are probably older and have noticed more.
I don't recall the exact moment that we found out who attacked us on 9/11 but I do recall we had foreign jets in our skies almost immediately afterwards. Not American jets. For some reason I never felt safe with our air sovereignty being given to foreigners for that period of time. I know I would have felt better to have our own Navy jets guarding our country.
You won't be laughing when it starts effecting your life. Don't you find it odd that Mrs Heinz is funding some of the most radical US style terror groups in the country ? It's no secret on Capitol Hill. Isn't it odd that the ACLU gets funding from our own government ? The passion play is playing out right before our eyes.
Yes, I saw some of the news about the recent Imminent Domain case. I don't recall about the Law of the Sea Treaty, though.
It would not have become law without his signature, but the idea that he was the driving force behind it is a little inaccurate IMO.
He campaigned on it. He pushed it whether you want to believe it or not.
i've known about this for years.... i was called nuts 20+ yeras ago...
what's your opinion on W? do you think he is a Rockefeller Republican? i have a hard time believing he is.. have you read any of Dave Kopel? after Bush managed to stop the UN small arms confiscation i started thinking he was on our side. what do you think?
The Sierra Nevada Mountain Range is one of the state's crown jewels. Yet, unlike many of California's other natural treasures, it has no conservancy. As Governor I will propose establishment of a Sierra Nevada Mountains Conservancy.
You really need to look into it. It's a mind-blower what America gives up to the UN.

This review is from: Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2015 - 3 PCs
Pros: Seems to be doing what it is supposed to do. I got it for free (still waiting on rebate though, I sent it on time and followed instructions carefully).
I had previous experience with Kaspersky.One of the companies I used to work for bought a license and installed the software on all company's machines. It was pretty decent back then.
I am using it now for two laptops and one desktop in my home. Very light weight on the computers and does what it is supposed to.
** does its job silently: No pop ups or balloon notifications unless something really serious going on.
Cons: None
Other Thoughts: You can probably use one those free antivirus software from Avast, AVG, or others. But even the free versions keeps nagging on you to buy a full version. Avast for example would sometimes interrupt me while I am playing for that purpose.
truth be told: in ideal world we should not pay for antivirus. The operating system should be able to defend itself. Microsoft has this free antivirus for windows, but it is not very decent. It failed many third party tests.
Anyways, Kaspersky is one of the best on market and it is very silent software. No pop ups or balloon notifications unless something really serious going on.
This review is from: SYBA Oblanc U.F.O 200 Around-Ear 2.0 Stereo Headphone with In-line Mic OG-AUD63042-2
Pros: I forgot to mention something in my previous review.
The adapter they give you with this headset (same as smartphone to PC headset adapter) is worth minimum $4-$5 from that auction store if not more. The one supplied with this headset is high quality.
Cons: none
Other Thoughts: If you break this headset, you still have the adapter and you can always buy a good quality smartphone headset (e.g. The sharper image) from the local ross, tjmaxx, or marshals for $10-$15.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: SYBA Oblanc U.F.O 200 Around-Ear 2.0 Stereo Headphone with In-line Mic OG-AUD63042-2
Pros: One of the guys below reviewed the headset on the basis of the original price, which is not fair if you got them for $8 or $10 shipped. If you got it for $8, then review it based on that price.
I myself got them for $8 (still waiting for rebates of course). And honestly, you can never buy any better headset for that price. Yes, it may lack certain tweaks, but come on...I have said it more than once...they cost $8.
The bass is nice, even though it is a little too much. Sound is clear...very clear. I used it for gaming (BF3). And with this I pick up sounds (e.g. torch on an armored vehicle) I did not pick up with lower end headphones or at least this headset makes them much clearer.
The mike is high quality, I used it skype, making phone calls, gaming...the sound is great.
Cons: * no volume control on the headset, but I knew that before buying.
* bass is a little bit too much, but still great quality sound.
Other Thoughts: Th best sound quality of any headphone I have ever owned in my opinion is the one in Panasonic RP-HT360 Monitor Headphone (item#: 9SIA0SF0Z16731). Bass is great and sounds were just perfect. The bad thing about that one was it did not last long.
Syba being a good company, I think their product management should buy these Panasonic headphones and learn from them, after all they are not far from that quality.
* I have not had this headet for a long time, so I do not know how long the are going to last. However, from the looks of it they look sturdy and can take some beating.
* After trying this one, I have already bought the other two Syba headsets (the white oblanc for $8 and the cobra for $10) which are also on sale.

But when is private politics enough, efficient, or better than administratively costly public regulation? We present a novel framework in which we can study the interaction between regulation, self-regulation by the firm, and boycotts by the activists in a dynamic game. Our main results are the following. (i) The possibility to self-regulate saves on administrative costs, it therefore also leads to delays. (ii) The possibility to self-regulate benefits activists but harms the firm without the public regulator in place, the reverse is true with the regulator being present in the game. (iii) Without the public regulator, a boycott raises the likelihood of self-regulation, whereas if the regulator is present, it raises the likelihood of public regulation. (iv) Activism is a strategic complement to self-regulation, but a strategic substitute to public regulation. (v) In addition, the analysis generates a rich set of testable predictions regarding the regulatory outcomes and the duration of boycotts. 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z On the design of criminal trials: The benefits of a three-verdict system http://hdl.handle.net/10419/119414 Title: On the design of criminal trials: The benefits of a three-verdict system Authors: Siegel, Ron; Strulovici, Bruno 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z Contract negotiation and the coase conjecture: A strategic foundation for renegotiation-proof contracts http://hdl.handle.net/10419/142005 Title: Contract negotiation and the coase conjecture: A strategic foundation for renegotiation-proof contracts Authors: Strulovici, Bruno Abstract: What does contract negotiation look like when some parties hold private information and negotiation frictions are negligible? This paper analyzes the above question and provides a foundation for renegotiation-proof contracts in a related environment. The model extends the framework of the Coase conjecture to situations in which the quantity or quality of the good is endogenously determined and to more general environments in which the traded goods are complements or substitutes. All equilibria converge to a unique outcome as frictions become negligible, which is separating, efficient, and straightforward to characterize. 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z Beyond correlation: Measuring interdependence through complementarities http://hdl.handle.net/10419/142008 Title: Beyond correlation: Measuring interdependence through complementarities Authors: Meyer, Margaret; Strulovici, Bruno Abstract: Given two sets of random variables, how can one determine whether the former variables are more interdependent than the latter? This question is of major importance to economists, for example, in comparing how various policies affect systemic risk or income inequality. Moreover, correlation is ill-suited to this task as it is typically not justified by any economic objective. Economists' interest in interdependence often stems from complementarities (or substitutabilities) in the environment they analyze. This paper studies interdependence using supermodular objective functions: these functions treat their variables as complements, and their expectation increases as the realizations of the variables become more aligned. The supermodular ordering has a linear structure, which we exploit to obtain tractable characterizations and methods for comparing multivariate distributions, and extend when objective functions are also monotonic or symmetric. We also provide sufficient conditions for comparing random variables generated by common and idiosyncratic shocks or by heterogeneous lotteries, and illustrate our methods with several applications. 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z

Final words from jet came after systems shutdown
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia -- Even before someone at the controls calmly said the last words heard from the missing Malaysian jetliner, one of the Boeing 777's communications systems had already been disabled, authorities said Sunday, adding to suspicions that one or both of the pilots were involved in the disappearance of the flight.
Investigators also examined a flight simulator confiscated from the home of one of the pilots and dug through the background of all 239 people on board, as well as the ground crew that serviced the plane.
The Malaysia Airlines jet took off from Kuala Lumpur in the wee hours of March 8, headed to Beijing.
On Saturday, the Malaysian government announced findings that strongly suggested the plane was deliberately diverted and may have flown as far north as Central Asia or south into the vast reaches of the Indian Ocean.
On Sunday, Malaysian Defense Minister Hishammuddin Hussein said at a news conference that the final, reassuring words from the cockpit -- "All right, good night" -- were spoken to air traffic controllers after the Aircraft and Communications Addressing and Reporting System system was shut off. Whoever spoke did not mention any trouble on board.
Air force Maj. Gen. Affendi Buang told reporters he did not know whether it was the pilot or co-pilot who spoke to air traffic controllers.
Given the expanse of land and water that might need to be searched, finding the wreckage could take months or longer. Or it might never be located.
Establishing what happened with any degree of certainty will probably require evidence from cockpit voice recordings and the plane's flight-data recorders.

Screenplay Categories: Gender by the Numbers
Manuel here. Much of the conversation following the nominations has deservedly been about the way this year's nominees function in many ways as a litmus test for the larger pitfalls of the Academy and the industry at large. Take the screenplay categories. As Phyllis Nagy urged us, we should be celebrating the fact that four female screenwriters were nominated for four different films. It sounds like a cause worth celebrating until you realize a total of twenty screenwriters were cited overall. You have to admit, those are appalling (if yes, unsurprising) numbers. Actually, in the past ten years, only 17 out of 156 nominated screenwriters have been women. Three quick stats about this year's categories and how they may show we might be turning a corner.
01 The last time we had two female nominees in the Best Original Screenplay category was in 2011 when Kristen Wiig and Annie Mumolo earned a nomination for their Bridesmaids script. If you remember that was the first time a female duo had been nominated since Nora Ephron and Alice Arlen were cited for Silkwood back in 1983.
02 The last time two female nominees came from different films? 2007 when The Savages's Tamara Jenkins and Lars and the Real Girl's Nancy Oliver joined eventual winnerDiablo Cody (Juno). That was, coincidentally, the last time a female writer was on stage for a screenplay win.
03 On the Adapted Screenplay side, we have two female screenwriters coming from two different films (Room and Carol). That's the first time its happened since 2003 when Shari Springer Berman (co-writer of American Splendor) joined eventual winner Fran Walsh (co-writer of Return of the King) in the nominee roster. And yes, you have to go back to 1995 to find a sole female screenwriter taking the gold (Emma Thompson for Sense and Sensibility), a year that also nominated Anna Pavignano for co-writing Il Postino.
Obviously, by the rule of statistical analysis -- which is foolproof and understands that subjective awards must follow mathematical calculations-- this means we're going to get a female writer up on stage this year, right?
Bets on whether Donoghue (Room), Nagy (Carol), Berloff (Straight Outta Compton) or LeFauve (Inside Out) will get to give a speech on February 28th?

Barcelona's Most Poignant and Authentic Historic Highlights, Monuments and Buildings
By Sam Mednick
Barcelona Local Expert
One thing Barcelona does not lack is a healthy mix of historical landmarks; all of which are breathtaking and inspiring in their own right. Whether it's a hospital, a religious site or even a government building, Barcelona's buildings are laden with history and each created with a very strong attention to detail. Whether you're strolling down Passeig De Gracia, gawking at Gaudi's modernist masterpieces or in the Gotico surrounded by century-old structures, Barcelona is a beautiful city to walk through as it is one of the most aesthetically charming city's in the world. There is always something that will catch your eye and there are plenty of interesting places to visit full of exciting and unique anecdotes and tales from the past.
Many of the monuments and historic sites will lead you to different neighborhoods within the city, which are worth exploring. With most of the buildings being situated in Ciutat Vella (Old City) between the Gothic Quarter and Born areas, there are quite a lot in the Eixample as well. Arc de Triomf for example, is situated on the edge of the Born and if you continue walking you'll find yourself on larger walkways and amongst more trees than in the Old City. Not only are the monuments themselves worth exploring, but their surroundings are as well.
Santa Maria Del Pi
One of the smaller Churches in the Gotico, Santa Maria Del Pi, was constructed between 1319-1320 and is an excellent example of Catalan Gothic architecture. The Church has been restored however since the 1936 fire when it was destroyed and today it has a slightly more modern facade. One of the Gothic Quarter's quaintest and most charming Churches, if you take a stroll inside each carving on the wall, and stone on the ground tells an ancient story. It's worth it to read up on this Church before entering or ask a local for a few anecdotes which will help to bring the Church alive. (933 184 743)
Arc de Triomf
Built for the Universal Barcelona Exposition in 1888, Arc de Triomf is situated at the end of Park Ciutadela and was the main gateway during the event at the end of the 19th century. It was built in the Neo-Mudejar style by Josep Reynes and is a great place to visit especially since it's ideally located near the train station and the red metro line. It's also a nice idea to continue walking up from Arc De Triomf, to Passeig Sant Joan. A slightly less touristy area of the city, full of great restaurants and quiet walkways; its a perfect way to explore a different neighborhood within the city. (NA)
Casa Amatller
Built in the 1880's, this domed structure was the first large-scale undertaking for architectural visionary Antonio Gaudi and reflects his innovative fusion of Gothic and Moorish sensibilities. This beautiful structure was built in honor of the famed architect's mentor and guardian and is named for him. Listed as a World Heritage location by UNESCO in 1984, the site initially served as an urban residence and is now employed as an outstanding theater, museum and library. Perhaps not as well known as Casa Batllo and La Pedrera, Gaudi's other works, if you're into Moderniste works then it's work visiting, if only to see the architects evolution. (34 932 160 175)
Hospital Sant Pau
Dubbed "The Stone Quarry" for its remarkably sculpted stone façade. Built in the early 1900's and designed by Gaudi, the building's edifice is considered the world's largest abstract sculpture. Declared a heritage sight by UNESCO in 1984, the hospital is a fusion of two buildings that came together. It was a fully functioning hospital until June 2009, and today it acts as a house and an art school (Escola Massana) as well as the National Library of Catalonia. There are still tours given in the old hospital, just be sure to check the times as they vary depending on the season. (93 291 90 00)
Casa Batllo
Day or night, the street in front of one of Gaudi's most classic buildings, is always full of people; mouths wide open, staring up in awe. If you're wondering which of Gaudi's creations to enter, this should definitely make the list. One of two great buildings created by Gaudi on Passeig De Gracia (La Pedrera being the other), the building's façade appears to be made of skulls and bones, which are in fact balconies. There are often parties in the museum, but they are usually private and hard to get into. Check online for events ahead of time though as there are always last minute tickets. (934 880 666)
Cathedral La Seu
The construction of this cathedral began in the late 13th century and was not completed until the middle of the 15th century. The interior design is distinctly Gothic, whereas the front and spire of the church were touched with a French influence at their completion in the 1800's. The cathedral is dedicated to a Christian martyr whose tomb is located in the crypt beneath the high altar. The choir stalls are intricately carved with religious images. The Cathedral La Seu is one of the largest Cathedrals in the city and is constantly full of people either exploring the inside or seated outside along the steps, relaxing and people watching in the plaza below. (93-315-15-54)
La Sagrada Familia
Without a doubt this is Gaudi's crowning glory. Set to be completed in 2046, the Sagrada Familia is a Barcelona must-see. Even if you don't want to go inside, the outside facades, history and master design are equally breathtaking. This was Catalan architect, Antoni Gaudi's last work before he died in 1926. The creation of the Sagrada began in 1882 and Gaudi came on board a year later. He transformed the project combining Gothic and Art Nouveau forms to achieve unprecedented results. Gaudi died before the building was able to be completed, but it is still undergoing work today and survives on funding by private and public institutions. (93-455-02-47)
Casa Milà (La Pedrera)
Casa Mila, otherwise known as La Pedrera, is one of Gaudi's most well known creations and is situated on Passeig de Gracia, just a stone's throw from Casa Batllo. Constructed between 1905-1912, from the outside La Pedrera looks like it is made up of skulls. Architecturally however, it is considered to be incredibly innovative as its facade is self-supporting. It also has underground parking and separate lifts and stairs for the owners and servants. One of the best parts of La Pedrera is the roof. This multi-level rooftop provides for great city views, especially those of Passeig de Gracia which is directly below. (93-484-5995)
Palau Guell
Designed by Antoni Gaudi, this Barcelona mansion was created for the Catalan tycoon, Eusebi Guell and today is part of the UNESCO World Heritage sites. This is one of Gaudi's many architectural masterpieces and was specifically used for entertaining high society guests in the main room. Palau Guell is particularly special because it is one of the few Modernist buildings in the Old City. Most of Gaudi's works as well as those of Luis Domenech i Muntaner and the rest of their contemporaries are in the Eixample neighborhood, up from Plaza Catalunya and where the expansion began for the rest of the city at the turn of the century. (93-317-3974)
Palau de la Música Catalana
Constructed by the famous, Lluis Domenech i Montaner, Palau de La Musica is a Modernist masterpiece. Today it is known for being one of the world's most unique concert halls. Even if you don't manage to see a show, it's definitely worth taking a guided tour. Tours can only be done through the official guides at the Palau De La Musica, so be sure to book in advance and check the language for each tour as not all languages are offered at all hours. Afterwards, have a cava and tapas on the terrace in their outdoor courtyard at the front of the building. (93-268-1000)

2010 Toyota RAV4 SUV 4dr SUV (2.5L 4cyl 4A)
Classic Toyota gave us a car buying experience that we will never forget. We drove in from Kentucky to visit with family, and to buy a car for a better value. We had looked at our Capital One email who referred us to classic Toyota in Waukegan. Once at the dealer we were met by Diana Romero who was our sales and leasing associate. Diana was friendly, knowledgeable, and she offered us coffee, snacks, and just had a wonderful personality. Diana gave us back our faith in car dealerships because of previous experiences we had vowed never to go to a dealership and purchase a car. We told Diana our monthly price range and she was able to stay within a close proximity to what we wanted, and she was very honest from the beginning about what Toyota financing could offer. I will definitely refer friends and family to that specific dealership. :)
Best cargo space in its class, lots of useful compartments. Was skeptical of the spare on back and swinging back door - now I love those features, make the car even more practical. Leg room in the second row is impressive. Acceleration is adequate. Gas mileage great if you drive carefully and don't unnecessarily rev up the engine; on a highway when driving not more than 65mph you can easily get 30 mpg. I own mine for 2 months now, I do 50/50 city/highway mix and my average mpg is 28.2, weather and driving conditions were perfect, though - during winter and sweltering summer days I expect the average mpg drop a little, perhaps to 27 not lower. Oil change every 5K instead 3K - like it too.
roominess, gas mileage, exterior design
improve gas mileage even more
I bought my RAV4 7 months ago and I've never liked a car better than my new one. Ride is smooth enough and all these things I read on reviews about vibrating and stuff, never experienced it except when I'm driving on rough roads and unpaved ones, quite expected I would think. My car is the limited model and the convenience of the features really fits me well. The only thing I don't like about my car is how much I paid for it. Gas mileage is very reasonable since I'm primarily the only passenger plus my little dog, we're so happy to go out of town occasionally on weekends with comfort. I agree it's no escalade nor a Land Rover, but it certainly fits most responsible,low profile people like me
Roominess of the interior plus the added features like bluetooth, upgraded sound system+XM radio, leather seats w/heat and auto AC.
back view not really appealing plus the side door opening, very inconvenient. Hood jack should be like the new Camry 2011.
Being upgraded from 2005 Nissan Altima (Sedan). This is my first ever new car in my life. I love my Rav4 for the roominess, comfort & great performance. Fun & Steady driving. My family loves it. I4cyl has great power in it compared to CR-V. Had to return the Sport model, as the sport tuned suspension did not give a comfortable ride for the rear seated passengers.
Extra storage beneath the cargo area, full-size spare tire on the back door, best cargo space in compact suv segment, powerful engine for a i4cyl, great fuel economy, sturdy exteriors,
Cheap interiors, Make v6 as an option rather than a separate model. Missing Charcoal/Black carpets & seats.

An affordable all-suite option (with free breakfast) close to LAX.
Even though this Embassy Suites outpost is almost walking distance to the airport, we suggest you take the free shuttle it provides. With a large interior courtyard, and bustling buffet at its center, the feeling here is that of a small village. The renovated rooms have dark wood accents and are typically spacious, with all 222 laid out as two-room suites. Kitchenettes with microwaves provide self-catering options. This property is perfect for families wanting quick access to the airport; check for family-oriented and entertainment promotions. Avoid the west side rooms, which face other buildings. Best are the rooms on the north and east, with views of the mountains and city. The hotel has a small indoor pool and fitness room, but with beaches and mountains nearby, you may not need them. There are also several small meetings rooms that can be joined for larger groups.

The winner of the MWC (TCU) and the winner of the WAC (Louisiana Tech University) will go head-to-head on December 21 in sunny San Diego, California during the Poinsettia Bowl.
After beating UNLV on Saturday to secure their third MWC championship in a row, the TCU Horned Frogs have to feel a little upset that they have been overlooked for a BCS bowl. Instead of facing a more intimidating foe in the Sugar Bowl, or even a Pac-12 opponent in the Maaco Las Vegas Bowl, the Horned Frogs will be facing the winner of the WAC, the Lousiana Tech Bulldogs.
Unlike the Horned Frogs, the Bulldogs are likely feeling ecstatic about their first bowl appearance since 2008, and even better, their first WAC championship since 2001. This makes them a dangerous underdog going into the game.
Both teams finished out the season on fire, winning their last seven games of the season. This should be an interesting matchup to say the least, and I expect this to be a hard-fought, close game.
Here are some matchups to look forward to in the Poinsettia Bowl.

[BRAZIL 2014]Four games will be played on Tuesday with two berths in the round of 16 up for grabs. The big game pits Italy against Uruguay -- the winners of the first four World Cups and six between them. Italy has the advantage in the battle of the Blues. It moves on with a win or tie.

I've been recycling computers into art for a while now, and there always seems to be extra memory sticks left over. So for this, I took the prettiest looking RAM, and drilled a small hole in the bottom to hang shiny bells from then, recycled older ornament caps to the top and added ribbons and bows. We end up with a lovely ornament to hang on your Christmas tree. A perfect simple gift, for all the tech geeks I know and work that will be brought out again, year after year to hang on the tree. Memories, of the Holiday's, a time in life where technology seem to be outdated so quickly, and saved them from being sent overseas to be destroyed.

Remember the scene in Shawshank where the warden is brought to Andy's cell after Andy is missing and he accuses everyone of being " in on it." Well that is Bryan Murrary and the Senators right now.
Here are Murray's comments:
Murray: "It's Matt Cooke. What else should I say? Watch the replay."
— Josh Yohe (@JoshYohe_Trib) February 14, 2013
According to Yohe, Murray also yelled at him for laughing about an unrelated matter:
Don't laugh about something 50 feet from Sens locker room (unrelated to game, by the way). Bryan Murray will tell you off. I just found out.
— Josh Yohe (@JoshYohe_Trib) February 14, 2013
But the nonsense didn't stop there. Sen's goalie Craig Anderson just took to twitter with this:
It's a fluid situation (you know, the game of hockey and whatnot) and Cooke doesn't quite get his leg where he wants it. Instead, his leg comes down and lands on Karlsson's ankle. A horrible accident.
Oh, and by the way, Pens play Ottawa one more time this season. April 22, in Ottawa. Yikes.

I thought for sure this month was it..... everytime I have tested I really thought that it would show 2 lines. But that is not the case, I am now president of the "One Line Club"
I am due today and tested negative today (and just to satisfy my craziness, this afternoon too)
No AF yet but I am trying to accept my position in the "one line club" OLC!!!!
This morning AF has not come so I tested AGAIN and I now have TWO lines!!
It was faint but it was there and tested again just now and it was a bit darker. I will again in the morning but pretty excited about it. I thought for sure I was pregnant this month but then the tests did not cooperate so I was disappointed but now super excited!!!
Good luck to everyone!

Important Global Message
The Miami-Dade County Emergency Operations Center has been activated and is closely monitoring Erika. For any updates about County facilities and services, please visit: http://www.miamidade.gov/emergency
The Parks Foundation of Miami-Dade was founded in 2004, after the founding members and recognized community leaders Jorge Luis Lopez, Dick Anderson, Dean Colson, Brandon Immerman, Nancy Liebman, and Sergio Pino, agreed that many of the needs faced by the Parks and Recreation Department were not fully covered through the County's General Fund.
During the same time, Miami-Dade County Commissioner Senator Javier Souto had already established a referendum authorizing the County Manager to establish an Adopt-a-Park program to help community activists raise funds for needed improvements to the parks systems. Through the Parks Foundation, the Adopt-A-Park program has been able to grow and offer more opportunities for individuals, civic organizations, and corporate sponsors to become involved through fundraising programs and volunteer opportunities.Back to Top Page Last Edited: Thu Feb 14, 2013 10:55:48 AM

Academic Experience:
I haven't started my major classes yet but I am having a wonderful experience getting my basics out of the way. My major is Apparel/Textiles with a Concentration in Fashion Merchandising. CACC does a very good job of making sure a student has their required curriculum covered if they are transferring to a different college which I am. Through the STARS guide I have a set list of classes I need to take that will transfer with me as I transfer which is incredibly helpful because it prevents from taking a class that would waste my time. The program I am on right now involves a few business classes as well as fashion classes so that when I transfer I will be prepared to take the advanced courses. My adviser has been with me every step of the way advising me on which classes to take each semester and being a huge help, answering all of the questions I have had. My internship opportunities will most likely come later in my program, when I am a senior most likely. The workload is a bit daunting but I am able to handle it with hard work and dedication. This is an excellent transfer program and I cannot wait to see what the future holds for me.
Academic Experience:
Academics are very well organized at CACC. There are a lot of options available to the students to get extra help or get involved in the school such as tutoring, student support services, and student activities including lawn parties. The professors work to really push the students to be the best that they can be and really challenge them intellectually. The class registration process is fairly easy as wel. There are two options, you can either register online or on the campus. Personally, I prefer registering online because I find it easier than having to wait and register your classes with a person. As long as prior advising as been attended to then online registering is not a problem. CACC makes signing up for your glasses fast and easy. They also send outstripped reminder emails about registration dates, tuition due dates, as well as student activities that can be participated in and scholarships available. CACC is a very student-oriented school and I love how it makes me feel like the school actually cares for my well-being.
Academic Experience:
My major is Computer Science, and I do a lot of my course work online.
Academic Experience:
Class registration can be completed online which is wonderful, class workload is up to the student.
Academic Experience:
I am a non-traditional student with a full time job and my needed courses are very limited at night and online. Facilities are great, however.

Edward J. Sozanski, 77, art critic for The Inquirer, who over three decades became a major figure in describing and documenting the city's cultural transformation from regional byway to the national main stage, died suddenly Monday, April 14, in Gladwyne. The cause of death has not been determined.
Whether writing about America's first sculptor, William Rush, or art from Korea's Joseon dynasty, or the way John Cage's musical "scores" looked on the page, Mr. Sozanski always sought to directly engage the art and provide his readers with an utterly independent critical judgment.
Despite his substantial stature and influence as a critic, his focus always remained on the integrity of the art; he was not distracted by institutional marketing efforts or the city's cultural boosterism.

Corals' Fluorescent ''Sunscreen'' May Help Resist Bleaching
by AMNH on
Much like the sunscreen-toting crowds hitting the beaches this summer, coral reefs may be carrying some protection from the sun's strong rays.
In the case of corals, however, the "sunscreen" may come in the form of fluorescent proteins—and the protection is not from sunburn but from a fatal phenomenon known as bleaching.
Bleaching occurs when coral polyps, the animals that make coral reefs, expel photosynthetic algae under environmental stress, including too much sunlight. Under normal conditions, the algae, which give coral its brown color, are important symbiotic partners: embedded under the polyps' skin, they produce carbohydrates that the polyps depend on for most of their energy.
Corals, in turn, need sunlight to fuel the algae's photosynthesis. But too much sunlight can damage the algae's photosynthetic machinery, leading them to produce damaging free radicals. This stress, combined with stress from warming seawater, can lead to bleaching.
Training Colleagues Around the World to Collect Scorpions
by AMNH on
For the last two months, scorpion expert Lorenzo Prendini has been criss-crossing the globe to train others in finding, collecting, and preserving scorpion specimens for study.
In May, Dr. Prendini, an associate curator in the Museum's Division of Invertebrate Zoology, traveled to Pakistan as a guest of the country's Higher Education Commission to present a lecture at the University of Sargodha and to train a team of local scientists. One of these researchers, Dr. Muhammad Tahir, was recently awarded a grant by Pakistan's Higher Education Commission to carry out a survey of local scorpion species, which include species of interest to medical research, and he will travel to the U.S. this fall to spend nine months working with Prendini at the Museum.
Calling All Collectors: Scientists Will Identify Objects at Museum's Identification Day
by AMNH on
Each year, people bring their shells, rocks, insects, feathers, bones, and artifacts to the Museum's annual Identification Day. On Saturday, June 16, scientists will attempt to identify your discoveries while showing you some specimens from their own collections. Items identified in previous years have included a whale jawbone, a green beetle bracelet from Brazil, and a 5,000-year-old stone spear point from Morocco. Watch the video below for some pointers on what to bring.
Four Things to Know About Manhattanhenge
by AMNH on
Four nights a year, the streets of Manhattan's grid become the site for a spectacular sunset phenomenon known as Manhattanhenge. Below are answers to frequently asked questions about this event.
What is Manhattanhenge?
As Director of the Hayden Planetarium Neil deGrasse Tyson, who discovered the phenomenon and coined the term "Manhattanhenge," explains in his Hayden Planetarium blog, Manhattanhenge takes place "when the setting Sun aligns precisely with the Manhattan street grid, creating a radiant glow of light across Manhattan's brick and steel canyons, simultaneously illuminating both the north and south sides of every cross street of the borough's grid. A rare and beautiful sight."
Protecting Potato Diversity in Peru
by AMNH on
Over the next two weeks, a team from Science Bulletins, the Museum's multimedia online and exhibition program, will visit Peru to film a short documentary about protecting potato biodiversity in the region. Producer Tania Van Bergen, who is traveling to Lima and to the Huancavelica region, will be sending photos and dispatches from her trip in the coming weeks.
