Lose Weight, Reduce Stress & Overcome Emotional Challenges Using Meridian Tapping
Learn this Powerful Mind-Body Healing Technique in MinutesVIDEO: Stress and emotional trauma create hormonal imbalances that lead to weight gain. Meridian Tapping effectively reduces stress and breaks harmful emotional patterns that are keeping you "stuck" in your current state. Dear Reader, If you suffer from feelings of overwhelm, depression, or anxiety; if you have trouble sleeping or if the stress of your life feels suffocating; then there's a very good chance that your emotions are contributing or even causing you to gain weight. My name is Jon Gabriel, and I used to weigh over 400lbs. My problem started when I moved to New York City in my 30's. Back then, my rent was $300 a week and I was only making $200. My business partner was aggressive and threatening, and even my office felt more like a battlefield than a workplace. Worst of all, as my business grew and my outward life improved, my emotional life just became more and more troubling. Within a few short years, I ended up with multiple mortgages, 2 car payments, and a long, stressful commute both ways. I was newly married, I was ambitious, and while it probably seemed from the outside that I was doing everything right, the pressure and tension of my lifestyle kept me just below boiling point all day, every day.
Most of the Time, I Could Barely Keep it Together…I didn't know this then, but after a decade of biomedical research, I now understand that this type of intense stress over time (stress that I'm sure you're all too familiar with) actually causes biochemical changes in your body that can lead to massive weight gain. Have you ever experienced feeling hungry for no reason? Do you ever wake up in the middle of the night and crave the worst possible foods? This happens to everyone once and awhile, and we can fight it off; but when you're chronically stressed like I was, your cravings are insatiable, day-in and day-out. Here's what happens… Chronic stress mimics a famine state. Your body gets confused and signals you to eat more food in an attempt to keep you safe. Your primitive biology gets mixed up by our modern world—and the results can be devastating. I remember nights when I'd have 3 different restaurant delivery guys at my door at the same time. I'd turn up the music really loud so they'd think there was a party going—but there was no party. It was just me. I can laugh about it today, but it wasn't funny when food took up so much of my conscious thought and seemed to control me throughout the day. Like most people, I thought it was my fault. I thought I just needed to find the perfect diet or get a better fitness program.
But What I Learned Was Completely Unexpected…After trying and failing at all the traditional approaches to weight loss, I became a fanatical researcher and uncovered a "stress-and-fat connection" that no one was talking about back then. Very quickly, I realized that all the diet and exercise knowledge in the world was useless if I didn't balance my body naturally, from the inside out. While everyone focused on calories, my research revealed that hormones held the real key to weight gain and weight loss. And I'm happy to report that I was on to something. Over a period of 2 1/2 years, I lost an amazing 220 lbs, and completely transformed my body and my life. I've kept the weight off now for 10 years, and I've taught this inside-out approach to weight loss to over 350,000 people all across the globe through my books, coaching programs, and seminars. And I'm pleased to say that this method with its mind-body focus is finally being embraced by both the mainstream and alternative doctors worldwide. Why? Because your mental and emotional health lay the foundation for your physical health. You simply cannot separate the mind and the body; and in reality, the solution to your weight problem often lies in reconnecting, reducing stress, and finding emotional peace. And this is why I'm here with you today… The first step in solving your weight problem is recognizing that the stress in your life is contributing or even causing you to gain—just like it was for me. But the next step is even more important. You need to find ways to reduce stress safely and consistently without giving up your job, your friends and family. But where do you start? With this very question in mind, I invited a small group of 12 participants to work with myself and Carol Look, a gifted Meridian Tapping expert, psychotherapist and healer. We came together for a private workshop to talk about the real issues in our lives: workplace stress, relationships, financial struggles, loss, hardship, and pain. Many people would ask: "What does any of that have to do with weight loss?" And my answer is, "Everything!" We called the workshop, "Lose the Stress, Lose the Weight" and we decided to use Meridian Tapping as our primary technique for healing and release. If you're new to this practice, Meridian Tapping is a modern healing modality based on the ancient Chinese system of acupressure points. On a very basic level, you talk yourself through the biggest challenges in your life while tapping these energetic points in a specific pattern. Immediately, it reduces your stress response and creates a sense of calm. This is measurable, noticeable, and in some cases, extremely dramatic. Through my own healing process, I've used and continue to use over a dozen different mind-body healing modalities—meditation, visualization, yoga, qigong, and more—but what I love about tapping is that it's a self-healing practice meaning you don't need to pay a therapist to do it, and you can take it with you anywhere.
That is Very Empowering!Tapping was new to me too, so I was skeptical but open-minded. But after spending an entire weekend with Carol and 12 other participants, I can honestly say that tapping for stress reduction and weight loss is one of the most powerful tools you'll ever learn. And since it's completely safe and simple to learn, I think everyone serious about personal transformation should learn to use it. So if you're struggling right now with stress and feelings of overwhelm, if you have a weight problem and need help… … then I'd like to introduce you to Carol Look and 12 remarkable people who were brave enough to share their stories and their healing journeys with you on film so you can learn and apply these tools to your life. Tapping for weight loss is an in-depth and deeply human experience that will provide you with real-world tools you'll use now and for the rest of your life.

Is Tapping for Everyone?It would be a mistake to say that meridian tapping is for everyone (nothing is for everyone); but the fact that so many different people of all walks of life have found it beneficial gives me confidence to recommend it to anyone with an open mind and emotional challenges that need to be addressed. To give you an idea, here are some people I know personally for whom tapping has made a huge difference in their lives:
- Highly-stressed employees who feel like their work is war
- Busy moms who feel tugged in all directions
- Men and women in emotionally abusive relationships
- Parents and spouses who have lost a child or life partner
- War veterans with Post Traumatic Stress Disorders
- Children struggling to overcome the pain of a parent's divorce
What the Film's Participants Are Saying…
"Wow, I am happy to say I am a happier, healthier person. Thank you"
- Jackie
"Thanks for the amazing gift which keeps on giving. It has been transformational." I have even been tapping with my daughter, and she has seen results. How wonderful is that, you have already impacted 2 generations. I went from worrying about projecting my fears of lack onto her, to sharing this powerful tool that she can use for the rest of her life! Thanks Jon for seeing the potential in tapping and being there for us completely during this emotional experience, and of course Carol for sharing her amazing gift which keeps on giving. It has been transformational. May it touch many lives in as powerful a way as it touched mine.
- David
Frequently Asked Questions…Q: Is it true that local governments are using tapping to treat Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)? A: Yes, it's also been used in war-torn Uganda where people have lost their families and are suffering, and in local schools when there has been tragic loss of life. Q: Is this like hypnosis? A: No, this is nothing like hypnosis, you do not go into an altered state or use suggestions of any kind. Q: Is this better done in person? A: In person tapping with a tapping therapist is wonderful, and if you get the chance to experience that—do it! But tapping is something anyone can safely learn at home too, which is why we recommend it so highly. Q: Is this like talk therapy? A: No, this is mind-body therapy based on present emotions. You will not be asked to relive traumatic experiences from the past, this is a different approach. Q: Do I need any special tools to practice this? A: No, tapping is done with 2 fingers, it's quite simple and effective. Q: Is this the kind of thing where I have to believe in Eastern religions or chants to make it work? A: No, there is nothing religious about this practice at all. It's more mechanical than anything. Q: What if I don't like it or it doesn't work for me? A: No problem at all. If for whatever reason (or no reason at all) tapping is not for you, the program has an unconditional, 365-day guarantee.

Tapping is a powerful, but underutilized technique.
- Roberta Temes, Ph.D., Psychotherapist, Author of The Tapping Cure
"A simple, gentle way to release mental and emotional pain and lose weight for good." Having healed my body (and lost over 60 pounds naturally), I know how important it is to go beyond diets, to lose weight and keep it off for good.

Palm Beach Mayors Call for Metal Detectors in Schools
The mayors of Riviera Beach, Belle Glade, and Magnolia Park went before the school board on Wednesday to ask the district to install metal detectors in schools.
The three Palm Beach mayors have put together an online petition that has garnered more than 100 signatures so far.
"There's no limit to safety," said Riviera Beach Mayor Thomas Masters. "Anybody can take a gun and go shoot into a school."
The mayors came at the district with the hard sell that places such as airports, courtrooms, and even the school board building all have metal detectors and that children should be afforded the same.

However, not all are on board with the idea.
Board member Karen Brill argued that metal detectors in schools are not the answer and that there should be a greater emphasis on mental health and mentorship programs
Others on the board did not say whether they were for or against the measure but said that to find funds to make metal detectors happen, municipalities and the county must work together.
As for the cost, the mayors did not provide any info on how big of a bill the county would get in installing metal detectors in schools.
The district is already cash-strapped enough as it is.
But Masters says he'll lobby state officials, if has to, to make this happen.
"Children's lives are just as important," he said when making the argument that schools should have metal detectors such as the ones found in the school board building.
Meanwhile, Superintendent Wayne Gent announced that the district would be assigning police aides to schools with multiple entry points and that this new measure would be effective immediately.
Gent did not comment, however, on the metal detectors idea.

This is starting to act like the IFON we all know too well....
another P.S. I got me another 5K at 1.42 moments ago.
I'm observing the volume. I believe when it escalates sharply, it will be on the buy side.
Dennis, I own another company, SGMA, that did exactly like IFON after the first big recent run....it shook people out in the 7s pretty good....then took off again.....has shaken some in the 8s, but looks poised to really take off now.
Stocks never do what I think they will in the very short term. However, where a stock price "should" go next depends on answering the following questions:
Does the future look like the company fundamentals will grow, stay the same, or decline?
Does the current stock price reflect your answer to the first question?
Answering these two simple questions makes you less vulnerable to the momentary fickleness of the market. For me, the IM deal fundamentally changes the landscape for IFON for a long time to come.
BTW, delistment won't be an issue after today. We have the fundamentals on our side! IFON is simply presenting one more opportunity today to get in on the cheap, IMO. The selling is on insignificant volume relative to the buying that took us much higher. Keep that in mind, too.
and yet you here..lol

Company analysis – WSP Holdings 0 commentsDec 27, 2010 4:55 PM | about stocks: WH
COMPANY INTRODUCTIONWSP Holdings, located in Wuxi, China, develops and manufactures seamless Oil Country Tubular Goods (OCTG), including seamless casing, tubing and drill pipes used for on-shore and off-shore oil and gas exploration, drilling and extraction, and other pipes and connectors. Founded as WSP China in 1999, the Company offers a wide range of API and non-API seamless OCTG products, including products that are used in extreme drilling and extraction conditions. The Company's products are used in China's major oilfields and are exported to oil producing regions throughout the world.In the company's presentation in Sep, it highlighted below points as investment advantages:-
- Demand for sophisticated Oil Country Tubular Goods (OCTG) products used in extreme conditions is accelerating, as easy-to-reach oil and gas fields are depleted
- Strong demand for high-end OCTG in China's oilfields
- A recognized brand serving top-tier customers worldwide
- Key supplier to China's major oilfields, including CNPC and SINOPEC, with dominant share of high-end, non-API market
- Capacity expansion and vertical integration positions WSP for a rebound in worldwide oil and gas industry
- Attractive valuation, relative to industry peers
MANAGEMENT STRATEGYThe company announced its third quarter result recently. WSP got loss for all the past three quarters, which dismayed investors who are annoyed by management's strategy of fast expansion and burning money.Indeed, this Chinese company's a series of actions show a typical Chinese management style of growing bigger with a global vision. WSP is not only confined in China domestic market, but to set up facilities in other countries, such as Thailand and Houston, USA. From the expansion plan chart below, WSP is established in China and expanding gradually to global market while acquiring product certifications from domestic and international oil and gas companies allow for an increase of direct sales. I appreciate it a lot.However, the company is kind of mired in huge loss after expanding intensively within the last two years while global economy went south. I don't believe the company is expanding blindly, but it just got bad luck with a global recession background. In the third quarter statement, the management realized this and said "Management periodically evaluates and revises its capital expenditures plan based on the prevailing economic conditions and future expectations. Management has also taken steps to slow down and eliminate certain expansion plans in view of the current capital conditions."With the economy is slowly back on track, the company expects to have a bright 2011 while they are not optimistic on 4th quarter outlook.1.Positive and slightly improved revenue at $137.2. Gross profit loss is even bigger at -$0.26, which is due to huge expense cost.The company said, "Operating expenses in the third quarter of 2010 were $31.6 million, up 151.5% from $12.5 million in the third quarter of 2009. Selling and marketing expenses were $7.4 million, up from $2.2 million in the third quarter of 2009 primarily due to higher sales commission and sales activity levels associated with increased sales volume. General and administrative expenses were $22.9 million, up 107.4% from $11.1 million in the third quarter of 2009, primarily due to an increase in allowance for doubtful accounts of $9.3 million. "3. From the above information, I am shocked that this company burned $9.3 million as the main reason for 3rd quarter loss without explaining in detail what this big amount for. This is certainly a big negative sign for this company.4. The company is able to secure several deals in South America and Africa, but the selling & marketing expenses are sky high.Global economy is improving, and oil price is expected to be up.The company secured several deals in S. America and Africa.Several new facilities are going to put in production at the end of 2010 and their positive effect on profit generation should be shown out in early 2011.1. Houston OCTG Group, Inc. ("Houston Group")Houston Group commenced trial production of its new threading line with 120,000 tonnes of annual production capacity in July 2010 while the construction of its new heat treatment line with 100,000 tonnes of annual production capacity is expected to be completed by the end of 2010.2. Bazhou Seamless Oil Pipes Company Limited ("Bazhou Seamless")The Company commenced trial production of two of its three new threading lines at Bazhou Seamless in October 2010 while the remaining new threading line is expected to begin production in November 2010. Each of the three new threading lines has an annual production capacity of 100,000 tonnes. The construction of a heat treatment line with 200,000 tonnes of annual production capacity at Bazhou Seamless was completed inOctober 2010 while another hot-rolling line with an annual production capacity of 500,000 tonnes is expected to be completed in the first half of 2011.3. WSP Pipe Company Limited ("WSP Pipe")WSP Pipe, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary in the Thai-Chinese Rayong Industrial Zone, Thailand, is currently building an OCTG pipe manufacturing and sales facility. The construction of the first of two hot-rolling production lines with a combined production capacity of 200,000 tonnes per year is expected to be completed by the end of 2010 while the second hot-rolling production line is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2011.Disclosure: Since I have some shares in this company, I would like to give it a chance by holding the stock at least till 3rd quarter, 2011.

We are well-acquainted with the zebras at Fossil Rim Wildlife Center in Glen Rose. Many times they've stuffed their handsome heads into our car window; beware the zebra sneeze. These days we're more likely to get snot streaks on our windows because we've learned to close them as soon as a zebra approaches. But if you want to get an even more intimate view of zebras than you normally do during the 10-mile safari drive, sign up for this Sunday's "Encounter" with the zebra. Fossil Rim is home to both Grant's and Grevy's zebras, and children ages 5 through 9 will enjoy an opportunity to learn about these surprisingly swift animals (a Grant's zebra can run as fast as 40 mph) and do a craft from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. It costs $25 for a child-adult pair, with additional guests paying $10 each. Reservations are required; call Cheryl at 254-897-2960, extension 0.

Georgetown County Council moved a step closer to regulating filming within the county after giving second reading to the "Film Ordinance" at its regular meeting on Tuesday night.
Filming within the county, whether on public or private property, will now require a permit, payment of a $1,000 permit fee, and submission of a detailed parking plan. The county can charge additional fees for the use of county facilities and staff.
Applications for permits will be have to be submitted at least 45 days before filming is scheduled to start, and county staff will have as long as they want to review and make a decision on the permit. No more than two permits will be issued within 1,000 feet of each other.
Permit holders will be required to have $1 million in general liability insurance, $1 million in automobile liability insurance, and $1 million in worker's compensation and employer's liability insurance.
At least 30 days before filming is scheduled to begin, the film company will have to give written notice to all businesses and residents within 500 feet of a filming location. Copies of the notice will also have to be given to the county. The company will not be able to do any filming, staging, site work or preparation in the county before a permit is issued. If a permit is issued, these activities are restricted to the hours from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. in Murrells Inlet and on Waccamaw Neck. Moving of equipment is also restricted to these hours in Murrells Inlet and on Waccamaw Neck.
Any lighting used for filming will have to be shielded from residences and from the ocean after dark.
Use of anything that involves "flames or incendiary devices" will require a permit from a county fire company and will be prohibited in residential areas.
Much of the enforcement of the ordinance lies with the county administrator, who has the right to: determine the number of cast and crew members and what constitutes filming, storage, staging, site work or preparation; limit permits in certain areas; restrict or revoke permits during natural disasters or other emergencies; and cancel, stop filming or issue citations if the ordinance is being violated.
The county administrator also has the right to "change, modify, update or waive" the provisions of the ordinance.
The county Sheriff's Office can also stop filming and issue citations.
Should any part of the ordinance be ruled non-enforceable by a judge or court, the remainder of the ordinance will stay in effect.
The idea for an ordinance came about after a television production company began filming a reality series in Murrells Inlet. Residents were outraged that the county had given permits for the filming and urged Council to adopt a set of standards for future projects.
Leon Rice lives next door to the house where the series was filmed and was "personally impacted."
He said his family was "surprised and overwhelmed" when a crew showed up and started filming. He's read the new ordinance and likes it. He thanked Council for taking action.
The ordinance does not apply to news or press conferences, students working on film projects for school, or a production with a staff or three people or less.
The ordinance went through five major revisions and was reviewed by county staff, attorneys and residents before being presented to County Council.
Final approval is expected at council's next meeting on Oct. 22.
To read the entire text of the ordinance, go to www.gtowntimes.com.
In other business
n Council approved the purchase of $175,985 worth of firefighting equipment.
The county will spend $90,365 to buy Morning Pride Fire Fighter Bunker Gear from Newton's Fire and Safety Equipment Co. in Swepsonville, N.C.
Midway Fire Rescue will get 28 sets of pants and coats and 27 sets will go to firefighters in other county unites.
"It's very good quality gear," Midway Fire Chief Doug Eggiman told Council. "It's quality protection at a reasonable price," and better than the gear they used to buy.
The county will also spend $85,620 to buy 12 ambulance stretchers from Stryker Medical Products in Portage, Mich. Four will be used by Midway.
n Donald Burriss won the county's first photography contest. The theme was the county's rivers.
Burriss submitted a picture of an alligator at Thoroughfare Creek near Litchfield.
The county is planning on having photo contests with different themes about four times a year.
n Final approval was given to amend the Charlestowne Grant section of Litchfield By The Sea Planned Development to allow a side yard setback variance at 183 Sea Oates Circle.
The variance will allow an elevator to be added to the house.
n Helen Benso of Murrells Inlet was appointed to the Economic Development Alliance Board.
Council chairman Johnny Morant, and council members Ron Charlton, Lillie Jean Johnson , Austin Beard, Bob Anderson, Jerry Oakley and Leona Myers-Miller were in attendance at the meeting.

Brazilian cartoonist Hubert talks about the act of censorship practiced against him by Facebook. He remembers that ever since the end of the military authoritarian regime of the 1960s, when he worked for weekly "O Pasquim" newspaper and had numerous jokes censored, no one expected the resurgence of censorship in Brazil. The Lessa Blog sides with Hubert in strongly rejecting this lame attempt against freedom of expression. We're sorry, Facebook, but… shame on you! 🙁

Open Season on Open Seats
If last week's primary elections proved one thing, it's that having a reputation for being tough on crime and criminals is a plus, especially if you're running for a criminal court judgeship. Last Tuesday, seven working prosecutors on the staff of Harris County District Attorney John B. Holmes Jr. competed for a chance to be in this fall's general election for criminal court positions. Six of the seven won their party's (Republican, mostly) nomination, and the one who didn't make it lost in a squeaker.
And if last week's primary elections proved another thing, it's that it's nice not to have strong competition. Of the county's criminal court judges who wanted to keep their posts, not one had to face a working prosecutor. And when this fall's election comes around, the judges will again get a bye when it comes to prosecutorial challenges. The prosecutors have only entered races where -- generally because a judge has decided to retire -- the judgeship is open. Why? Well, because John Holmes told his people that if they wanted to move up the ladder, fine. But if they wanted to move up the ladder by pushing aside a sitting judge, not so fine. They'd have to quit their job.
Actually, for the prosecutors this was a step up. In previous elections, if they wanted to run for any office at all they had to say goodbye to their paycheck. "The rationale for [Holmes'] change was prosecutors don't really get paid very much money," explains former prosecutor Cathy Herasimchuk, who served as an assistant Harris County D.A. for four years. "Prosecutors basically have been shut out of the process of being able to be considered for a judicial position through the election process. It's the kind of thing where [you had to ask], was it fair to penalize prosecutors and make them ineligible to run just because they are prosecutors?"
Holmes' rationale for letting his staff run for judgeships only if they didn't threaten to kick a sitting judge off the bench was that there might be problems if a D.A. had to try a case in front of a judge he was running against. Aside from the notion that any judge who would rule differently because a D.A. was facing him in an election might be a judge who should be replaced, some legal experts wonder just how reasonable Holmes' position is.

Criminal defense attorney David A. Jones is one who thinks that having D.A.s run for any post while still on the public payroll is a bad idea. "They're still handling cases, some that will come up again," Jones notes. And if as a judge they face a case they'd worked on as a prosecutor, he says, there could be ethical problems. One judge at the criminal courthouse, who asked to remain anonymous, agrees somewhat with Jones. "There may be some problems that occur because of [the open-seat policy], but I understand, overall. They're just trying to get ahead. [The D.A.s] are qualified."
While not dealing with the question of whether the open-seat policy ends up protecting sitting judges, Eric Hagstette, a ten-year veteran of the D.A.'s office now in private practice, wonders if Holmes' policy really covers all the bases. What happens, he asks, if a judge who has created an open seat by deciding to retire suddenly dies, or has to retire early? In that case, the governor could immediately fill the seat, and the new appointee might decide to try to hold on to the position. So what happens to the prosecutor running for that office? Does he have to quit the race, or quit his job?
"It very well could happen," says Hagstette. "So I don't know if the policy answers all the questions.

Acura Presents 2014 RLX Sedan, Hybrid
Tiffany Kaiser

Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
The hybrid RLX is due out at the end of 2013
Acura has unveiled its 2014 RLX Sedan at the 2012 Los Angeles Auto Show, and a
hybrid version
is expected to be released next year.
Acura's 2014 RLX Sedan is being touted as the automaker's most technologically advanced sedan ever, with a 310 HP direct-injected SOHC 24-Valve i-VTEC V6 engine with Variable Cylinder Management and estimated fuel economy ratings of 20 MPG city, 31 MPG highway and 24 MPG combined.
It will also have Precision All-Wheel Steer, which is the first to offer independent and continuous control of both the right and left rear-wheel steering angles; the next-generation AcuraLink connectivity system; Lane Keeping Assist System, and Forward Collision Warning safety systems.
What's especially interesting is that the 2014 RLX Sedan has a hybrid version. The hybrid will have Acura's new Sport Hybrid Super Handling All-Wheel Drive, which puts out 370 HP, and is expected to get a fuel rating of 30 MPG city, 30 MPG highway and 30 MPG combined. Those looking to buy the hybrid will get a chance near the end of 2013.
The RLX Sedan will have other impressive features, such as metal, wood and leather interior, an 8-inch Navigation screen and a 7-inch On-Demand Multi-Use Display touchscreen.
"The 2014 Acura RLX heralds the introduction of a number of new signature Acura technologies that provide the driver a feeling of connection to the product, to the road, and to the world from the very moment they enter the vehicle," said Jeff Conrad, vice president and general manager of Acura Sales. "The RLX embodies the Acura commitment to create vehicles with outstanding handling that truly respond to the will of the driver."
Earlier this year, Acura announced the
NSX Sport Hybrid
at the 2012 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS), which was a comeback for the vehicle that had gone on hiatus in 2005. The NSX Hybrid has the Super Handling All-Wheel Drive and a direct-injection VTEC V6 engine with three electric motors.
Acura also announced the the
ILX Concept
at NAIAS 2012, which has a gas-electric hybrid powertrain option.
"Spreading the rumors, it's very easy because the people who write about Apple want that story, and you can claim its credible because you spoke to someone at Apple." -- Investment guru Jim Cramer

Conservation and research actions proposed
Expand the protected area network to effectively protect IBAs. Effectively resource and manage existing and new protected areas, utilising emerging opportunities to finance protected area management with the joint aims of reducing carbon emissions and maximizing biodiversity conservation. Conservation on private lands, through expanding market pressures for sound land management and preventing forest clearance on lands unsuitable for agriculture, is also essential (Soares-Filho et al. 2006). Campaign against proposed changes to the Brazilian Forest Code that would lead to a decrease in the width of the areas of riverine forest protected as Permanent Preservation Areas (APPs), which function as vital corridors in fragmented landscapes.

MOSCOW - Once among the most reviled couples in Russia, Mikhail and Raisa Gorbachev have been inundated with sympathy and admiration from thousands of ordinary Russians as the wife of the former Soviet leader battles acute leukemia.
Deeply admired in the West, the Gorbachevs were equally despised by most Russians, who blamed him for the country's problems and ridiculed his wife as a showoff.
The sudden, unexpected wave of support made Raisa Gorbachev cry, aides said.
"It must be in the Russian character to run somebody into the mud and them laud them to high heavens after a tragedy strikes," said Vladimir Polyakov, a spokesman for Gorbachev in Moscow.
Raisa Gorbachev, 67, was admitted to the Muenster University Clinic in Germany on July 25. Her husband has been at her bedside nearly around the clock.
News of the illness brought a huge and unexpected flood of support and sympathy back home. Tens of thousands of letters and telegrams lie in piles at the Gorbachev Foundation office in the Russian capital.
Anxious people wrote to share their experiences with the disease or to suggest special diets and folk remedies. Others telephone to say they are praying for Raisa Gorbachev's recovery. Herbal medicines arrived from Siberia. The rich and the poor offered to help with money and blood and bone-marrow transplants.
Many letters are from the same elderly people who long resented Mikhail Gorbachev for his role in the events leading to the 1991 Soviet collapse and the subsequent economic and political turmoil that seized Russia.
A Soviet general's widow called to offer $25,000 she left after selling her apartment. Another woman offered to go to Germany to cook for Mikhail Gorbachev, saying he must be tired of German cuisine.
"For Mikhail Sergeyevich (Gorbachev), after all the mud that had been poured on him, it was very unexpected," Polyakov said.
"And Raisa Maximovna even cried," Polyakov said.
Raisa Gorbachev is admired in the West, where her intellect, style and outspoken manner - together with the glasnost and perestroika reforms of her husband - helped demolish the image of the Soviet Union as an evil empire.
But her poise and the love and support she so clearly showed for her husband created resentment at home.
Raisa Gorbachev's sophisticated designer clothes and jewelry were derided as ostentatious displays of wealth and elite status in a country where much of the population lived in poverty.
It went largely unnoticed that Raisa Gorbachev donated much of her personal income and helped raise more than $8 million over the past few years for children's leukemia hospitals in Russia, according to foundation figures.
Soviet women "resented her simply because she is different," the daily Izvestia wrote recently after Raisa Gorbachev was hospitalized.
"She is not like the others: Fragile, graceful, with a sophisticated taste for beautiful clothes. She became a symbol of a country struggling to shake off its drabness."
"People didn't understand her. Maybe they didn't want to understand," the newspaper said.
But most of all she was resented for even daring to appear in public with her husband.
"Who does she think she is, a member of the Politburo?" people would ask, according to Mikhail Gorbachev's memoirs.
Previous Soviet leaders were assumed to have wives - but they were rarely seen or mentioned. A Communist leader's wife making repeated public appearances was too much of a shock for most Russians.
"Maybe the very notion of the family, it was distorted here," said Polyakov, the Gorbachev spokesman. "It turns out (the Gorbachevs) were ahead of their time."
Many letters received by the foundation now praise the Gorbachevs for things they were once derided for, especially their love and unashamed devotion to each other.
"We know that you are a loving and brave couple. . . . If the Lord is with you, nothing and nobody can come against you," said a letter signed by the Boldyrev family from Moscow.

Back in December, New Orleans tenor Bryan Hymel saved the day by stepping into the demanding role of Aeneas in the New York Metropolitan Opera's production of Berlioz' "Les Troyens." That triumph now comes to PBS. "Great Performances at the Met: Les Troyens" airs at 11 a.m. Sunday (June 30) on WYES.
A graduate of Jesuit High School and Loyola University, Hymel subbed at the last minute for Marcello Giordani in the starring role in the five-act tragedy, based on Virgil's "Aeneid."
Others in the cast: Deborah Voigt as Cassandra, and Susan Graham as Dido.
The televised performance was the last of the opera's run at the Met, and was first carried live in more than 1,900 movie theaters on Jan. 5.
Further reading about Hymel's performance in "Les Troyens:"
Theodore P. Mahne @ NOLA.com had the local-angle story in late December:
Hymel was called upon to save the day when Marcello Giordani decided to retire the role from his repertoire after several wobbly performances earlier this month. Hymel had just completed a well-received run in Meyerbeer's "Robert le Diable" at London's Royal Opera House at Covent Garden last Friday and arrived in New York on Saturday to step in to the role.
Hymel had previously appeared on the Met stage in 2000, when he was a finalist in the Met's annual National Council auditions.
ANTHONY TOMMASINI @ NYTimes.com:
When, close to midnight on Wednesday, the American tenor Bryan Hymel appeared for his curtain call at the end of the Metropolitan Opera's performance of the Berlioz epic "Les Troyens," the entire cast lined up onstage and applauded along with the audience during the prolonged ovation. This gesture from the singers seemed not just a welcoming tribute to a young colleague making his Met debut on short notice in the daunting role of Aeneas. The cast members, especially the beaming mezzo-soprano Susan Graham, who was again a vocally sumptuous and alluring Dido, seemed genuinely grateful to Mr. Hymel for saving the day by giving an impassioned and confident performance of a heroic role that dominates this formidable French opera.
David Patrick Stearns @ Philly.com:
NEW YORK - Hector Berlioz's epic, five-hour-plus opera Les Troyens has often been a magnet for problems - starting with the leading role, Aeneas, that brings tenors to grief. It forced Plácido Domingo to curtail his 1983 Metropolitan Opera run, and last month, Marcello Giordani bailed on the Met's current production, vowing to never sing the opera again - including this Saturday's noon simulcast in area movie theaters.
Help, however, has arrived in the person of Bryan Hymel, 33, who found himself making his Met debut Dec. 26 in a familiar scenario. This semi-Philadelphian (a 2008 Academy of Vocal Arts grad, he still works with its voice guru Bill Schuman and keeps some possessions in a South Philly storage bin) bounces between England and New York replacing tenors felled by Les Troyens.
Watch a clip from the broadcast, and be sure to stay for the ovation starting at about 6:50:

Ryan Lochte thinks a woman looks sexiest in "one of my long-sleeve button-down shirts and that's all," he tells Women's Health. But in case you haven't quite gotten to the point where you can plunder his closet in the nude, here's how to up your chances: "The second sexiest thing: white jeans," he says. Other windows into his psyche: He thinks Carmen Electra is hot, and instead of making eyes at girls, he prefers to "give a wink and come back later, because it keeps her thinking." You know, because he's a mysterious man like that.
