Data on domestic and international events involving Japan, Thailand, Indonesia, and Singapore were collected on a daily basis. Events reflecting the Southeast Asian countries' relations with the United States, Great Britain, Australia, West Germany, and the Netherlands were only documented for every third day in the last quarter of 1970.

Ideas Gone Bad
You know how sometimes something seems like a good idea? Like when you walk the bases full to get to A-Rod and he launches a moon shot? And then you realize that it really never was a good idea?
Well, just in case you still aren't following, here's another example that might help drive it home:

The ritual of breakfast in bed on Mother's Day is a classic one. In the Norman Rockwell version, Dad and the kids bring in a tray with a couple of pancakes, maybe some sausage, fresh fruit and what looks like a quart jug of mimosas, which Mom will need later when she sees the wreck they've left in the kitchen.
So, our first lesson this Mother's Day will be: Clean up after yourself! Whatever you make for Mom, be sure she doesn't have to clean up after your noble efforts. Nothing makes a meal taste better than knowing you won't have to lift a hand to clean up afterward. Being able to tuck into a tasty meal secure in the knowledge that when your plate reaches the kitchen it will rest upon a clean counter makes pancakes fluffier, bacon crisper and fruit sweeter.
To help you out with your Mother's Day plans, try these recipes:
Open-faced breakfast sandwich:
2 whole-grain English muffins, split horizontally
2 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons sliced almonds
Preheat the broiler. Place the English muffins on a baking sheet. Broil 4 to 5 inches from the heat source for about 2 minutes per side, or until they are lightly toasted. Or toast in a toaster.
Combine the butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Spread half of the butter mixture on the cut side of each of 2 English muffin halves; sprinkle each with half of the almonds.
Broil for about 2 minutes, or until the spread is bubbly and the almonds are lightly browned. Serve hot.
Fruit Smoothie:
Makes 4 servings
This is a satisfying summer cooler and an ideal use for fruit on the verge of overripening, or you can use packaged frozen mixed fruit from the supermarket. Make this for a spur-of-the-moment dessert, snack -- or even breakfast -- that will please both kids and adults alike.
3 cups frozen mixed chopped fruit (cantaloupe, bananas, strawberries, peaches, or others of your choice); do not thaw
1 cup apple juice or orange juice
Kiwi slices, whole strawberries, or raspberries for garnish
Blend the fruit and juice in a food processor or blender until smooth, occasionally pushing down fruit chunks for uniform consistency. Serve immediately; the mixture melts quickly!
Scrambled eggs and beef burrito:
Makes 4 servings
This meaty burrito steps up to the plate for your family or guests as a one-dish meal for breakfast, lunch, or brunch. The orange-cilantro sauce offers a citrusy flavor dimension to complement the burritos spicy filling.
For the meat
16 ounces extra-lean ground beef
1 red bell pepper, finely chopped
½ cup finely chopped onion
2 teaspoons chipotle chili powder or ancho chili powder
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon ground cumin

Just hold your heading true.
By Ralf Zenses on Mar 20, 2009
........ . The first sentence in a blog is very hard to write, so I just start with the second.
Too many blogs about Cloud Computing ?
Probably YES.
So why do you start a new one ?
Well, after visiting CloudCamp I noticed a very special demand in the Cloud Space: Most CloudBlogs are around Witchcraft and Technologie, about Interfaces, APIs Scripting Languages and, when it comes to Sun: About Servers, Storage and Q-Layer.
I miss the data center
view on Cloud Computing. Business aspects, Legal aspects, how to make
money and how to save costs. At CloudCamp we discussed questions like
"Is there a difference between System Metering and System
Monitoring ?". A question we answered in the old data center world
about 10 years ago.....Let's combine this experience with the enormous flexibility of Cloud Computing.
CloudFront and IFR
The Cloud front is
moving from the internet closer and closer to the data center. And if
more applications will be moved from "behind the firewall" into
the Cloud...we have to enhance Cloud technologies with the ideas,
experience, rules, regulations (sorry) of a classical data center. If
you don't follow the exact rules and quality, your next flight into
the Cloud will end with a ugly session with your auditors (And
The Evil Eye Of The Hurricane's Coming In Now For The Kill). IFR rules will keep us alive :-)
This is my first entry. Please let me know if I am right or wrong here :-)
Just hold your heading
true. Ralf

The morning broke crystal-clear and cool the other day, a beautiful High Plains morning.
I was outside tending to my chores when the sound of a jet caught my ear; that jet noise from far away and high above. I scanned the wide blue yonder and saw it way up there. Five miles? Seven miles?
I don't know about these things but it was high, a little silver thing almost lost in the vastness of the sky.
When I was a kid I remember pilots announcing to the passengers that they were flying over this or that landmark like, "Ladies and gentlemen if you look out your right side windows you will see The Grand Canyon."
Did the pilot in this plane tell the folks on board they were flying over Fort Sumner, Melrose, Clovis, Portales, Texico, Farwell or Muleshoe? I bet he didn't.
A few years ago I took a road atlas with me on a flight from El Paso to Orlando. If nobody was going to tell me what I was zooming over I was going to try to figure it out. This caught the attention of a flight steward.
"Know where we are?" he asked.
"No," I said. "Do you?"
"No, it's all pretty routine to me," he said. "Unless we're over water, then it's really boring."
Some of the most amazing things are all pretty routine now, but airplane flight still wows me. That we can hop in a winged metal tube, zoom above the clouds and zip over hundreds of miles in hours instead of days is still "neat-o" to me.
Yeah, I wonder what those passengers saw. Maybe flying is so routine no one was even looking down. I suppose no one saw me waving at them either, wishing them "Bon voyage" on that sunny High Plains morning.

Clocks for your Home – What are the Options?
Clocks look particularly good in the living room, dining room and kitchen. They not only make it easy to see the time but also help enhance the home decor.
Several factors should be considered when picking a Clock. First, consider the style and color of the clock, it should match well in the room but should not be the same color as the wall.
Ensuring the clock is the right size for the wall is also important; while a bare wall does not look good, neither does one that is overly cluttered.
Buying one or more clocks for the home can be a good idea as they are functional and appealing decor. Just make sure that these are the right size, color and style so that they enhance the home's decor and compliment existing furnishings and pictures. We have many to choose from, so browse around and get the perfect one for your home.

A Strange Stirring: The Feminine Mystique and American Women at the Dawn of the 1960s
Publication Excerpt
Based on exhaustive research and interviews, and challenging both conservative and liberal myths about Betty Friedan, A Strange Stirring reveals how a generation of women came to realize their dissatisfaction with domestic life didn't reflect a personal inadequacy but rather a social and political injustice. Coontz examines women's changing status from the 1920s through the 1950s, compares the dilemmas of working-class and middle-class women, white and black, in the early 1960s, and illuminates the new mystiques and new possibilities facing men and women today.

dude just cant stay healthy.....one less team to worry abut for the 8th seed-race it's basically ours to lose
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]Sixers' Brand out for season
Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - Philadelphia 76ers forward Elton Brand will miss the rest of the 2008-09 season, as he is scheduled to undergo shoulder surgery next Monday.
Brand will have a torn labrum repaired at the Wilmington Surgery Center and will not return until next season.
"Elton wanted to do whatever he could to get back on the court and initially elected to forgo surgery in order to help his teammates," Sixers president and general manager Ed Stefanski said. "He worked as hard as he could over the past six weeks to return; however, the scope of the injury would not allow it."
This marks the second straight year that Brand will miss nearly all of the season, as he played in only eight games last year for the Clippers due to a serious Achilles injury.
Brand underwent an MRI exam on Wednesday that reportedly came back clean but team orthopedist and medical director Dr. Jack McPhilemy along with Dr. Craig Morgan reviewed the results and determined that "the initial tear of the labrum in Brand's right shoulder is responsible for a considerable decrease in the range of motion and instability, both of which would not allow him to be effective on the court."
Brand signed a lucrative five-year, $80 million deal in the offseason to join the Sixers and has largely been a disappointment for the club this season, as Philadelphia has posted only a 23-24 record amid large expectations. Brand has appeared in only 29 games, missing significant time after injuring the shoulder on December 17 against Milwaukee.
Since returning from his 16-game absence, Brand has been largely inefficient, averaging just 5.7 points and 4.7 rebounds in 18 minutes during six games. He began to use a spandex shirt under his jersey to offset the stiffness he had been feeling in his shoulder, but it didn't boost the forward's effectiveness.
The first overall pick of the 1999 draft by Chicago, Brand posted a career-low 13.8 points and 8.8 rebounds per game this season, down from career averages of 20.0 and 10.1, respectively.
First Michael Redd, now Brand. Hopefully Devin Harris next lol jk. Knicks playoff chances lookin really good right now.
Damn player-centric usernames straight to hell.

DaTPRiNCE...That EGYPTiAN Fella, #MeloMafia
Man Philly killed themself givin him that 80mil contract!
If they were real smart, they would've taken Josh Smith.
Thank the Lord they didn't!
not at all,this team has been gelling well w.o brand. dont forget philly thrives in a open court, fast paced, A.I dominated offense. brand didnt fit in early in the season, but as long as A.I is healthy this team shud be a 7th place lock. igoudala has really looked like a star since brand has gone down. it will be interesting to see how the sixers fare with brand next year.
haha my thoughts exactly! i alwayz wondered what wud happen if the hawks traded josh smith for elton brand when brand was healthy. smith wud be a perfect fit next to igoudala (imagining those two together on a fast break is scary), while the hawks maybe cud have used brand as a dominate post presence since they play more of a half court game than philly does. i doubt it wud happen or will ever happen, but its always been an idea since seeing elton brand's failed attempt with the sixers (so far at least)
Brand will make Philly a better team during the playoffs. You need a low-post scorer in the playoffs, because it is not as fast paced and more of a half-court game. But during the season, it hasn't been working out so far. Maybe they would have gotten better as the season went on, who knows? But either way, this doesn't help us with our playoff hunt much.
I think they will be really good after allstar break, like last year. But man, givin EB that huge contract? Dumb move.
If they did have Josh Smith, Cheeks would have still have his Job and they probably would have been in atlanta's position. And Iggy would have been an all star.
thats WOULD HAVE.
Ah, how i laugh at other dumb GMs.
And he actually slowed them down as a team and they played worse when he played this year. Philley is a high uptempo team and Brand would always slow them down as if Philley would wait for Brand all the time on the court lol.
They should trade him when he gets healthy again and get rid of him.

I have an 11 week old baby boy. I exclusively breastfed him for 7 weeks.
My son used to vomit a lot before. Just for a change, I started pumping and fed him through bottle. He is doing lot better with the bottle than with my breast. So, I decided to pump exclusively. I am using Lansinoh Double electric breast pump. For the first 1-2 weeks I was able to pump 4oz (each breast) in 15-20 mins. Now my pumping process is consuming lot of time. It is taking almost an hour to get 3oz (each breast) at one sitting (and my breasts are not emptied fully after 1 hr). These long sittings are causing severe back pain. So, I reduced my sittings at pump and have been giving him formula in between. I am frustrated and don't want stop breastfeeding. I also suffered with mastitis 4 times.
I think I might have a let-down problem. Because when I tried to feed my baby on one breast and pump the other breast at same time, I was able to finish pumping (3-4oz) in 20 mins. I tried massaging my breasts, drinking water before feeding and taking warm showers before pumping.
Can some one help me in this issue???

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -- Andrew Wiggins scored 30 points, Wayne Selden Jr. had 14 and No. 10 Kansas pulled away in the final seconds of overtime for a 77-70 victory over Oklahoma State in the quarterfinals of the Big 12 tournament.

Naadir Tharpe made four foul shots in the extra session to seal the victory for the top-seeded Jayhawks (24-8), who will face fourth-seeded Iowa State in Friday night's semifinals.
The No. 16 Cyclones, behind a big game from Melvin Ejim, beat No. 5 seed Kansas State 91-85.
Phil Forte briefly gave the Cowboys a 70-68 lead with a 3-pointer a minute into overtime, but the Jayhawks scored the final seven points, all but two of them coming at the foul line.
Le'Bryan Nash scored 19 points to lead the Cowboys (21-12). Forte added 16 points and Marcus Smart finished with 14, though he missed all three of his shots in the extra session.

A 29-year-old man was sentenced by a U.S. district judge to 10 years in prison for possessing cocaine with intent to distribute.
According to a release from the Attorney General's Office, Luis Gonzalez-Lopez plead guilty to to the charge on April 23.
Gonzalez-Lopez and another man contacted a police informant in Illinois seeking to purchase cocaine and marijuana. When they arrived to purchase the drugs in Beloit, they were surrounded by police and arrested, according to the release.
The conviction is Gonzalez-Lopez's fifth drug-related conviction and his eighth felony as an adult.
Gonzalez-Lopez is currently serving another sentence in a Wisconsin state prison until 2018. According to the release, the new sentence won't go into effect until after his current sentence ends in 2018. That order delays his release date until 2028.

The Road Less Traveled By
I always seem to start off an entry by lamenting about the lack thereof. There are a multitude of reasons regarding my sporadic entries, but that would require my making of a list of excuses, and I don't want to do that. Oscar Wilde, my favorite author, once wrote, "The pleasure that one has in creating a work of art is purely personal pleasure, and it is for the sake of this pleasure that one creates… I write because it gives me the greatest possible artistic pleasure to write. If my work pleases the few, I am gratified. If it does not, it causes me no pain." I write because I want to, and I am certainly happy some people who read this blog enjoy it. I do not write everyday, but that doesn't bother me. I try to say what I mean and mean what I say.
Makeovers are always entertaining, risky and a little bit awkward at
first. You might be familiar with some of the following scenarios: Glinda giving Elphaba a makeover in Wicked, Kurt Hummel giving Rachel Berry a makeover in Glee, and Mia Thermopolis' makeover in The Princess Diaries. The thing about Elpheba's makeover was that she didn't exactly need it, nor did she want it. Similarly, Rachel Berry's makeover was unnecessary because the boy whom she was trying to impress, Finn Hudson, liked her for who she was. Neither of these scenarios apply to the Red Sox though.

Great take about the short term deals coinciding with the hopefully positive emergence of Westmoreland, Kalish and Reddick. That's where long term success comes from. In Theo we trust. The days of Dan Duquette are a distant memory.
I like your take, but Mike Lowell is far from gone. The Sox have been busy making Lowell like the worst player to get in return for good talent. The Sox have shot themselves in the foot here. Anyways love your blog. By the way look at the six part series Fenway News from a Red Sox fan is doing good read.
Thought I'd tell you I put up part 2 wanted to know your thoughts on it. Anyways keep up the good work!
Elizabeth, your writing just keeps getting better and better. I don't know what college discussions you've been having, but I would think you'd get in wherever you want to go. As for the Red Sox, Lowell can still hit (I know because he kills the Yankees!). If I were the Sox, I'd keep him around.
They are taking the road less traveled by, but if I were to lay down some money on it, I'd say they don't even make the playoffs this year. I hope (for your sake) that I'm wrong, but I just don't see them matching up with the Yankees this year and the West is gonna be a tight race…. I don't know.
Is great to see you posting again. I agree with Jane that your writing jut gets better and better. I plan to be in Boston when the Dodgers re in town. Adrian Beltre used to be a favorite of mine back when he was with the Dodgers. In fact, I have his jersey but hve not worn it since he left.
The Beltre signing gives them better defense, but not necessarily better hitting. They also have more depth, but adding to the payroll might stop them from trading for someone at the Deadline.
Red State-
The Sox would need to have to choke real hard to not make it into the post-season. 95 wins last year. I'd say we could win maybe 99-102 this year. If that does not get you a post-season birth the MLB will be mighty good this year.
Elizabeth – Congrats on having the #6 ranked blog for the calendar year 2009!
Your writing about Oscar Wilde reminded me of my high school days when he was my fave. I was an English major once upon a time.
Nice job with the analysis :O) And hang in there with the Junior year stuff…it will be over before you know it!
congrats on becoming number 6! I think you are getting much better at blogging (by the way junior year is easy and I went to BC high it is just about not thinking about it too hard
Elizabeth if i had 16 million dollars i would pay J Bay that much a year! i think his performance is just half of who Jason Bay actually is. His demeanor and personality is second to none. something you are hard pressed to find anywhere in the MLB.
I'd have signed Bay too. Good guy I met him at a game nice guy. He was also their best power bat a real shame he is gone.
Another well written and enjoyable blog. I always look forward to your entries.
'Minoring In Baseball'
Well, maybe Oscar Wilde wrote for his own pleasure, but I for one like to know if other people are reading and enjoying my creations. Lots of people are definitely reading yours – congrats on the latest rankings! Sorry to hear you couldn't work baseball into your research paper this year – I'm going to assume it's on Oscar Wilde, who unfortunately I know very little about. Good luck with it – I'm sure you'll do great!
Rants, Raves, and Random Thoughts
Hey, Elizabeth, I hope you are well. I will hate to see Mike Lowell be traded also (as he is a favorite of mine, also), but I think he'll be traded also. I also think both sides will be happier if he is traded, since Mike wants to play more than he would with us. I just hope we get more than a 3rd-string catcher for him in return.
Sorry, can't help ya with Wilde!
Even if your entries are "sporadic", when you do post an entry, it is always a worthwhile read, so don't worry about quantity (as far as I am concerned, anyway). Your quality is what makes it worth the read!
Take care, Elizabeth! Good luck with Wilde, and with your college preps!
Junior year is tough. Hang in there! Senior year is so much better!
I now live about 40 minutes away from Shoeless Joe's hometown of Greenville, SC! That's why it always amazes me that I have so much trouble finding people who like baseball down here!
I really enjoyed this entry. Anytime you can combine The Princess Diaries and baseball I think it's a good thing.🙂
Indians, Cardinals, and Tigers! Oh my!
Never heard that junior year is like a dementor, I always thought it was like sitting through Prof Snape's class. BORING. Congrats on being ranked #6 on MLBlogs Leader board, you are a great writer. Knowing that the Sox signed Beltre is giving Mike Lowell bad signals about the future, something I don't like very much. He is a greatplayer, and though he is getting older, that doesn't mean he is horrible defensively or offensively like a certain DH we all know- David Ortiz. Enjoy your final years of high school. Don't rush into college just yet.
back in 4th grade we had to do a project on our favorite poet. at the age the only poets i knew were dr. seuss and the guy that wrote twas the night before christmas. my dad recommended robert frost and i really enjoyed the simplistic nature of his work and the eloquent depictions of nature. i really should get back to reading some of his stuff

Oh A-Rod….
A-Rod is the last Yankee player who am dedicating an "I miss you" post to. He's that special: a post about Alex is going to be a long one. I've been missing Alex all offseason long, but I really miss him today.
Alex Rodriguez
2009 was a thrill ride for the entire Yankee team, but particularly for Alex. With the whole steriod and then surgury incidents, Yankee fans were already counting him out for 2009. Everything changed for A-Rod in 2009. All he wanted to do now was help the team. He no longer had expectations for himself. It was time for Alex to just play ball.
I think it is safe to say that Alex Rodriguez is a magical player. Nothing proved that more than October 4, 2009: the last game of the regular season. Alex went into the game haveing 28 HR and 93 RBI – just a bit short of the stats he was so accustomed to. But in that 6th inning, miracles occurred. Alex hit a 3-run homer, which gave him 29 HR and 93 RBI on the season. I wanted him to get to 30 and 100, but I
knew thought it was impossible unrealistic. How naive of me. Later in the inning, Mark Teixiera was intentionally walked to load the bases for guess who: A-Rod. I was thinking and hoping for grand slam all the way. I didn't have to hope too hard. It was a no-doubter. A-Rod down-right crushed that ball, and got his grand salami. And he got his stats back into regular-A-Rod-territory. Despite only playing 124 games, Alex made it to 30 HR and 100 RBI on the last day of the regular season. I'd say he's got luck and magic, as well as serious skills, on his side.
To witness this magical moment, look here:
Okay, so A-Rod had a grand regular season….but what about the postseason, where in the past he constantly failed? It was time for that to change, and Alex was ready to prove himself. And I was so proud of him. This is an honest and true statement: In the 2009 postseason in which the Yankees won it all, Alex Rodriguez was the most clutch and influential player. Without him, the Yankees may not have moved on into the next rounds. He was clutch in every single series. Here are Alex's mind-blowing stats in the 2009 postseason: .365 avg, 6 HR, 18 RBI in 15 games. No wonder he won the Postseason MVP Award. A-Rod undoubtedly deserved te honor.
No when you talk about A-Rod, it's hard to refrain from talking about his love-life. Seriously, this guy has a thing for Hollywood blondes.
A-Rod and Madonna
Now not for anything, but I thought this was a little creepy. I mean, Madonna is way older than Alex. What is she, some kind of cougar?
A-Rod and Kate Hudson
Aw….these two were A-DOR-A-BLE together. It pains me to think that they are no longer together. She was Alex's lucky charm. He, and the rest of te Yanks for that matter, had an amazing 2009. I'd like to think it was partly because of her.
I wonder if this one is true:
A-Rod and…..Cameron Diaz?
She's gorgeous. If this thing is true, I hope it works out bewteen them.
A-Rod, I know people say things about you. I know they ridicule and constantly insult you and put you down. But they are just jealous of you. You are rich, you are gorgeous, and you are one of the greatest people to ever play the game. And they are not🙂 I don't care about what they say about you. You are a Yankee, my Yankee, and I love you ♥
Enjoy your offseason, and I can't wait to see you soon!

I really enjoyed reading "I miss you" dedication to your Yankees throughout the long offseason. That was so creative. Can't wait for baseball! It's so close!!
Also, check out my experience at the Fan Fest!http://hyunyoung.mlblogs.com
Happy Valentines Day!! Maybe you miss your Yankees, but I miss your everyday blogs.
A-Rod had quite a roller coaster year. I was so happy that it ended on such a high for him. I wish he and Kate hadn't broken up since she seemed to be good for him. Cameron? I doubt that'll amount to anything. Can't wait for the season to start already!
A-Rod is truly one amazing "player". He has it all, the love of his fans, women in his sides and good career. Of course it is truly a bamboozle act to take steroids, but who else don't? A-Rod is a part of the best baseball team in NFL, – The YANKEES. Having him for the past season is truly amazing. No one will ever questions his skillful and magical talent in the field of baseball. It's off-season for you now, but I then I hope you'll never lose hope! We still love you because you are YANKEE of our lives!
Cheer up Virginia! Very soon you will your boys back! They are the team with the earliest P&C date!

- What is the best serving strategy?
- Author(s)
- Pollard, Geoff
- Abstract
- A player can get a high percentage of first serves into court by taking a low risk on first service, or can get a lower percentage of first serves into court (with a higher probability of winning the resultant point if the serve goes into court) by taking a higher risk on service. This characteristic also applies to second serves. In this paper the relationship between the risks taken (on first and second serves) and the probability of winning the point is considered. Using Wimbledon Championships Men's Singles data, it is shown that the relationship between the risk taken on a serve and the probability of winning that point (if the serve goes into court), is typically not a linear one. It appears that for most players quadratic relationships are needed to model this type of data. Finally, some practical suggestions are made as to where the server might best focus his/her attention on how to increase the probability of winning a point on service.

For using as a raw topping, I slice onions in rings, thin enough so they will be partially cooked but still have a slight toothiness when done. If I'm caramelizing them, then I use thick rings so they don't cook down to mush. I either cut bell pepper into long very thin strips or into slightly smaller than 1/4 inch square chunks, depending on what else I'm topping with. I like thin strips in a sparsely topped pizza, and chunks in a heartier pie.
I run them through a slicer...http://www.amazon.com/EdgeCraft-610-Choice-Premium-Electric/dp/B0002AKCOC/?tag=pizzamaking-20
Dangit Bob, just when I thought I had all the toys ;-).
My wife and I are fans of NCIS and in one episode they ordered a pepperoni and onion pie, so we figured "why not give it a try". It has now become one of our standard go to pizza's!tom
When I use fresh vegetables on my pizza to much water is left on the pizza. How do I get around this

UW-Milwaukee to offer UW's first flexible-degree programs
The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee will be the first school in the UW System to offer a so-called flexible degree, in which students will be able to earn college credit for knowledge already gained through work or life experience.
UW System officials outlined the program over the summer. On Wednesday they provided details about how the courses would work and which programs would be included.
UW-Milwaukee will begin offering degree programs this fall in nursing, diagnostic imaging and information science, as well as a certificate program in communications.
The 13 two-year UW colleges will also provide courses for general education and liberal arts.
The target audience includes nontraditional students such as military veterans and those who left school with some college credits.

Below are many frequently asked questions about continuing guarantees under the Flammable Fabrics Act. You can search here for Continuing Guarantees that have been filed with CPSC.
A Guaranty is a good faith declaration that a product, fabric, or related material conforms with applicable flammability standards. The issuance of a guaranty must be based on reasonable and representative tests conducted in accordance with applicable flammability standards issued under the Flammable Fabrics Act (FFA) or based upon a guaranty received and relied upon in good faith by the guarantor. (See Section 8 of the Flammable Fabrics Act (15 U.S.C.1191) and 16 CFR 1608 General Rules and Regulations under the Flammable Fabrics Act.). A person receiving a proper guaranty in good faith is not subject to criminal prosecution
Section 3 of the FFA states that the manufacture for sale, the sale, or the offering for sale in commerce, or the importation into the United States of any product, fabric, or related material which fails to comply with an applicable standard or regulation issued under the Flammable Fabrics Act is a prohibited transaction.
Guaranties declaring that products conform to an applicable flammability standard are generally issued to retailers, distributors or manufacturers (apparel) by U.S. manufacturers or importers. A retailer, distributor or apparel manufacturer will not be subject to criminal prosecution under Section 7 - Penalties of the FFA for selling violative products if they have received a guaranty in good faith from a U.S. based firm.
No, the issuance of a Guaranty under the Flammable Fabrics Act is optional.
For a guaranty to serve as a defense to criminal prosecution, the person issuing the guaranty must reside in the United States and maintain records in this country of the test results which form the basis of the guaranty. Tests performed by or on behalf of the Guarantor may be conducted outside the United States if these two requirements are met. A guarantor is subject to all the requirements of Section 8 – Guaranty of the FFA and the rules and regulations issued under the FFA, even if tests are conducted outside the United States.
You may file with the Office of the Secretary of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, 4330 East West Highway, Bethesda, MD 20814, a continuing guaranty under Section 8 of the Flammable Fabrics Act applicable to any product, fabric, or related material. CPSC has made available a downloadable (pdf) fill-in form and instructions for preparing the form.
In preparing a Continuing guaranty for filing with the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the following you should note:
No, because two originals must be processed. We will keep one in the official file and we will send one back to you for your records.
A continuing guaranty filed with the Commission must be renewed every 3 years. You must also re-file after any change occurs in your legal business status. The guarantor shall promptly report any such change to the Commission and advise the Commission of any change in the address of his principal office or place of business.
CPSC issues a guaranty number (also called an ID number) to each unique firm filing a continuing guaranty. CPSC places the number in the upper right hand corner of the form we return to you after it has been reviewed and processed.
A firm may search this database to obtain information on active and recently expired guaranties. Any firm who has a continuing guaranty on file with the Commission may, during the effective period of the guaranty, give notice of such fact to its customers on the invoice or other paper with the guarantied product, fabric, or related material. The guaranty notice should say:
Continuing guaranty under the Flammable Fabrics Act filed with the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
CPSC makes no charge for this service.
A guarantor is required to maintain written records which show that the guaranties are based on test results which demonstrate conformance with reasonable and representative tests prescribed by the Consumer Product Safety Commission as set out in the Regulations issued in conjunction with the individual standards. Failure to maintain required records may subject you to civil or criminal prosecution under Sections 5 – Administration and Enforcement and 7 – Penalties of the FFA.
To help avoid violating the law, it is strongly suggested that you:
By maintaining your copy of the continuing guaranty and the documents described above in one file, you can minimize the time required to verify your guaranty if the commission inspects your firm.
Clothing Textiles and Vinyl Plastic Film for Apparel
Note: Guaranties may be issued without testing for fabrics listed in 16 CFR 1610.37(d). However, written records must be maintained to demonstrate that any fabric guarantied without testing is exempt from testing to support guaranties by the provisions in 16 CFR 1610.37(d).
Note: Guarantied fabric/apparel which receives further processing such as: printing, dyeing or finishing will generally be considered a new or different textile fabric and the previous guaranty will not be applicable.
Children's Sleepwear
Carpets and Rugs
Mattresses (and Mattress Pads)
Any person who falsely represents that he has a continuing guaranty on file with the Commission when that is not a fact, or who falsely represents that a limited continuing guaranty on file with the commission covers all products, when that is not the case, has issued a false guaranty. A False guaranty is an unfair method of competition and an unfair or deceptive act or practice and may be subject to civil or criminal prosecution under Sections 5 – Administration and Enforcement and 7 – Penalties of the FFA.

- Integration requires radical thinking
- Author(s)

- Abstract
- Meeting ambitious Commonwealth targets for low SES participation presents significant challenges for metropolitan universities. Currently about one third of Australian universities are achieving the federal government's low SES enrolment target of 20 per cent. Of the 14 universities achieving this target, only two are metropolitan. And not surprisingly, one of those two universities is a dual sector institution---Victoria University. The national average for low SES domestic undergraduate enrolment is currently 15.7 per cent. Based on 2008 figures, articulation rates between VET/TAFE and higher education at Australia's five dual sector universities---Victoria, Ballarat, Charles Darwin, RMIT and Swinburne---range from about eight per cent to almost 30 per cent. Swinburne has the highest articulation rate of 29.7 per cent. In order to improve low SES participation rates the discussion has centred on pathways that will enable students currently clustered in the VET sector to move through into higher education. There is no doubt that approaches to pathways can be---and need to be---improved. So, why not take the concept of pathways one step further and make the pathways guaranteed? Guaranteed means that success at one level of study guarantees students entry to the next level, just as it does in secondary school. If you successfully complete your TAFE Diploma course, then you have a place in an undergraduate degree. Swinburne introduced its Guaranteed Entry Scheme (GES) this year. The GES gives current Swinburne TAFE Diploma and Advanced Diploma students guaranteed entry into at least one Swinburne undergraduate program. The students automatically receive this offer when they enrol in TAFE. There is no need to apply because the scheme operates on an opt-out rather than opt-in philosophy. We are the first Australian university to introduce such a scheme and have now mapped 2740 pathways for our students. Our aim is to continue developing the scheme and expanding the choice of pathways on offer.

- Abstract
- We present results from an analysis of stellar population parameters for 7132 galaxies in the 6dF Galaxy Survey Fundamental Plane (FP) sample. We bin the galaxies along the axes, v 1, v 2 and v 3, of the tri-variate Gaussian to which we have fitted the galaxy distribution in effective radius, surface brightness and central velocity dispersion (FP space), and compute median values of stellar age, [Fe/H], [Z/H] and [α/Fe]. We determine the directions of the vectors in FP space along which each of the binned stellar population parameters vary most strongly. In contrast to previous work, we find stellar population trends not just with velocity dispersion and FP residual, but with radius and surface brightness as well. The most remarkable finding is that the stellar population parameters vary through the plane (v 1 direction) and across the plane (v 3 direction), but show no variation at all along the plane (v 2 direction). The v 2 direction in FP space roughly corresponds to 'luminosity density'. We interpret a galaxy's position along this vector as being closely tied to its merger history, such that early-type galaxies with lower luminosity density are more likely to have undergone major mergers. This conclusion is reinforced by an examination of the simulations of Kobayashi, which show clear trends of merger history with v 2.

Mark Weldon, executive director for corporate relations at the SU-IBM Data Center, was interviewed on YNN news channel about the center's energy efficiency.
Going Green: Cooling computers saves energy
Because the Green Data Center was constructed in accordance with LEED "Green Building" principles, more than 99 percent of all construction waste generated so far has been recycled. That's over 1,200 tons (about 60 truckloads) of waste that did not go to a standard landfill.
More than 25,000 linear feet of electrical conduit, equivalent to about 83 football fields or 4.5 miles, has been used on the project.
Over 120,000 linear feet—more than 22 miles—of wire was used in the construction of the electrical systems.
Almost one mile of piping is used in the heating and cooling systems.

Weight Loss Customers Are Being Hoodia-Winked
I first wrote about Hoodia in my "SkepDoc" column in Skeptic magazine (Vol. 13, No. 1, 2007). The following is adapted from that column with an update from new research revealing that it doesn't work and that it causes worrisome side effects.
I first heard of Hoodia in 2006, when a radio ad informed me that it was the new miracle weight loss pill. Shortly after that, I started seeing ads for Hoodia everywhere. Anna Nicole Smith took it. It was featured on Oprah. Lesley Stahl went to Africa to taste the plant on 60 Minutes. There are nearly 40 competing brands of pills, a patch version, and even a Hoodia lollipop. It seems to have taken the world by storm; but it's not new.
Hoodia gordonii is a cactus that grows in the deserts of southern Africa, and the San people have traditionally used it as an appetite suppressant, thirst quencher and to treat severe abdominal cramps, hemorrhoids, tuberculosis, indigestion, hypertension and diabetes. The claim is that it banishes hunger and thirst. What is the evidence? At this point it's strictly anecdotal. Skinny Bushmen report it relieves hunger pangs in starvation conditions on long hunts; we don't know what happens if it's used by lazy fat people with access to food. Before the new study, there hadn't been a single published study in humans. (more…)

Is There Good Evidence?
In a word, yes! According to Astin and other researchers from the Harvard Medical School and the California Pacific Medical Center:
- "There is now considerable evidence that an array of mind-body therapies can be used as effective adjuncts to conventional medical treatment for a number of common clinical conditions."
Their review of the research finds considerable evidence of efficacy for mind-body therapies in the treatment of coronary artery disease, headaches, insomnia, incontinence, improving postsurgical outcomes, chronic low back pain, and disease and treatment-related symptoms of cancer, as well as moderate evidence of efficacy for mind-body therapies in the areas of hypertension and arthritis.
Can you give me some examples?
Many studies show great potential for improved health outcomes. For example:
- Jon Kabat Zinn's classic research on mindfulness meditation for patients with chronic pain. In 1987, 90 chronic pain patients in Kabat Zinn's study showed dramatically decreased levels of pain, as well as lessened anxiety and depression, after a ten-week course in mindfulness meditation.
- Rollin McCraty's study with diabetic patients using the HeartMath emotional shifting technique. This technique consists of relaxing and re-creating a positive experience. Diabetic patients in this study dramatically improved glycemic levels by employing this technique. In a 2009 study, correctional officers trained in the HeartMath emotional shifting techniques demonstrated decreased stress, as well as improved cholesterol, glucose, heart rate, and blood pressure.
- Research in neuroplasticity by Richard Davidson and his colleagues links meditation practice to positive changes in the brain and more focused attention.
The best way to find evidence is to search PubMed for a specific mind-body therapy or practice.
What general issues exist with mind-body research?
Although mind-body research is constantly evolving, some characteristics of these therapies make them more difficult to study than, say, standard drug treatments. This can influence the attitude of the mainstream medical world towards these therapies. It also raises interesting questions about the nature and reliability of all medical research. For example, mind-body therapies and practices:
- Often employ more than one approach, making it hard to isolate effects. (For example, yoga includes a variety of postures, but also uses breathwork and meditation.)
- Are often used in conjunction with other therapies, complicating cause/effect.
- Often deliberately use the placebo response (see below for a discussion of this).
- Often use the therapist as part of the therapy, so double-blind studies are impossible. (Double-blind studies occur when neither the therapist or patient knows who is getting treatment and who the placebo.)
Sometimes it is also difficult for researchers to interpret outcomes from mind-body therapy research because:
- Factors may be difficult to measure. For example, how engaged is the therapist with the patient? How can one's overall wellbeing be quantified?
- Important factors may be inadvertently eliminated. If a study takes place outside a normal therapy-delivery environment (like a physician's office), environmental factors (like comfort of the physical space, privacy, or distraction) may not be considered.
- Numerous outcomes can complicate the study. For example, studies on meditation have measured everything from objective elements (such as decreased heart rate and body temperature) to subjective matters (like overall wellbeing or anxiety level).
- Changes may be gradual, subtle, and difficult to measure. Because the focus of mind-body therapies is on the whole person, changes may be more gradual and subtle than with a specific intervention like surgery.
What is the placebo effect?
You have probably heard about drug trials where some of the participants are given a new drug and some are given a placebo - a substance that looks like the drug, but has no active ingredients. The drug company is hoping that their drug will show more benefit to patients than the placebo. While it might seem obvious that the drug would show more benefit, in some cases (particularly in some cultures), the placebo effect is so strong that that the difference is slight. What this means is that the patient's expectation of a desired outcome actually causes it to occur, not the drugs.
Many mind-body therapies deliberately employ this so-called placebo effect to initiate the self-healing capacities of the individual. In this context, the placebo is not an unintended or negative outcome. Rather, it is another example of how the mind (which creates meaning) can impact the body.
In an extensive review of the clinical research, top researchers Walach and Jonas concluded that the placebo effect is real and that healthcare providers should seek to use it to benefit their patients. A 2010 meta-analysis confirmed that the placebo effect is useful for subjective measures, such as pain and nausea.

Give It Up For the KOOOOOZ!!!
Chad Gaudin didn't get to pitch in Petco Park until last night. He's been with us for about a month, but just always landed on the road, compiling an 0-3 record. But now that's he's pitched at Petco, I'm sure he can't wait to do it again.
Gaudin gave up the Giants' first and only run in the top of the second on a groundout by Emmanuel Burriss.
But in the bottom of that inning, the Padres came right back to tie the game. Chris Burke (who is really cute) hit a double to drive in Nick Hundley.
The game stayed tied until the fourth, when my baby Kouz came to the plate! On the first pitch, he hit a home run to left field. Yay!! That was his third of the year, and it was the winning run.
Gaudin went six innings, allowing one run but walking four. He did very well. The bullpen was excellent as well. Greg Burke threw his third scoreless inning since he's been called up. Luke Gregerson had a scoreless inning, and the game was passed to Heath Bell.
Heath's been amazing. He struck out the first batter he faced, then the second batter hit a high chopper right above Heath. Heath watched it, stuck out his hand and caught it barehanded, and threw a bullet to first base to get the speedy runner. It was an incredible play! Then he struck out the last batter, and got his 11th save in 11 chances and the Padres' fifth win in a row.
We've been playing really well at home. Here's a few of the Union-Tribune's headlines this morning: "Streaking Pads can't lose behind Kouz" and "Padres making themselves at home". HAHAHA! Those are brilliant. But seriously, I think we've won 13 out of 19 at home. That's pretty good!! And now we have the chance to sweep the Giants for the second time here.
Really shows how much coming home can help a team, huh? We were just finishing a six-game losing streak last week, and now we're about to have a six-game winning streak! Baseball is so crazy.
I really wonder if this team is turning it around for good. Is this just a one-time thing, or are they really going to be this good for the rest of the year?
Last night, we only got four hits in the entire game: Kouz had two, and Burke had two. That was it. But the bullpen has been excellent, so as long as we have just enough, we're good.
Tonight is Kevin Correia against Tim Linecum, though. This will be the second time he pitches against the Padres this season. Last time around, he was good, but he got the loss. Let's see if he's in better form this time around. Hey, he pitched that day that we finished the sweep of the Giants. Hmmm…
When I checked padres.com this morning, I saw the first headline and my heart sunk: Padres, White Sox talk Peavy – oh my goodness. I think I just died. I just went back to see what the headline was, and the Padres have agreed with the White Sox for a deal to trade Jake. Oh my goodness I am so going to die. Jake had better excercise his no-trade clause or I'm going to PANIC!!! Oh wait, I already am. I'm sorry Jen, but you can't have him!! I am sooooo going to die. This is ridiculous!! The Padres are playing so well right now!! WE CANNOT TRADE HIM!!! oh my goodness oh my goodness oh my goodness. Just what I needed. More heartbreak. Support group, this one might be worse than Trevor's…oh my goodness…..I THINK I'M GOING TO PANIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
From what I'm reading, the Padres and the White Sox have agreed to a deal. If Jake didn't have the no-trade clause, he would be gone by now. But thankfully, he's got that clause. Man, can you imagine what this guy is thinking right now? He's got a wife and three young children, who are settled here in San Diego. They practically just moved here. He's said that he wants to stay in the NL, but this would move him to the AL. He'd be going to a place that's cold in the winter and doesn't have the incredible weather like San Diego. He'd be going from a team that's 10 games behind to a team that's only 5.5 games behind. He's got a huge fan base here, he's been playing here for all his career. He believes that this team is going to get better. I don't think it's worth leaving. He's gotta use the clause. He just has to, or I'm going to lock myself in my room for the next few weeks.
I just can't take this. I'm dealing with enough right now. I don't need this to deal with as well.
Trading him would be a huge mistake on the Padres part. HUGE mistake!!!!! YOU MUSN'T DO IT YOU CRAZY FRONT OFFICE PEOPLE!! Trading Jake is not going to get people in your stands. NOT AT ALLLLLLLL!!! Look what he just did. He threw his best outing of the year just last Sunday. WHHHHHHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY??????
Once I hear anything, I'll update. Unless he gets traded (which he won't)…then I'll be crying in my room…

Yikes, Kaybee. Peavy going to the White Sox? Why would the Padres deal him now when the team is on a winning streak and looking good? Makes no sense. I really hope for your sake that it's only a rumor and/or he'll exercise his no-trade clause. No support group necessary, because I bet it won't happen. But if it does, we stand ready.
I hope Peavy doesn't get traded to the ChiSox. I'd rather him stay with the Padres.
Kaybee, deeeeeeeep breaths. We can survive this. I know this is a sad news but it's totally up to Jake. But if he does leave San Diego, I'm gonna cry day and night😦 My goodness, what is WRONG with the front office?? First it was Khalil, then Trevor, and now JAKE?? It's really devistaring. Let's pray that Jake gets to stay. Go Padres!!
Sorry I haven't been around much. How are the Padres doing so far this season??? What the heck is with the front office? Are they trying to emotionally destroy you? Maybe if they bring back Trevor….would that make up for it?
I could not believe it when I read that. I expect trades closer to the trading deadlines but not right now. I know how you feel. I try now not to get too attached to players but still is hard especially when I am at the stadium all the times and some other events that I try going. try to be strong.
Just heard Peavy might be going to the White Sox? Holy cow. Guess the deal is up to him. Hope he stays in San Diego.
Hey Kaybee your Padres are on fire. They aren't scoring much but enough to beat the Giants. It's weird to see Bell come in to save the games and not Hoffman. Hope Lincecum can pitch a shut out today so we can get a 1-0 victory. lol

Kouzmanoff is such a great name for fans because you could hear the echo of fans chanting "KOOOOZ!" The Jays had that for a while with Lyle Overbay. It was just "OOOOO."
Next I want a Marco Scutaro chant. On half of the stadium says 'MARCO", and the other half says "SCUTARO." It is starting to catch on a bit in Rogers Centre.
Peavy is a good player. Cy Young worthy stuff. If he's traded, you guys lose a huge part of your team.
I'm sorry about leaving this comment on an unrelated blog, but could you please send me a message to let me know if you are able to help me figure mlblogs out or at least point me in the direction of help from them online.
I also wanted to let you know that we just gave up Gwynn to you guys for Jody Gerut 🙂 Thanks!!
Did you hear about Jake Peavy rejecting the trade to the White Sox. I guess he likes playing for San Diego.
I'm glad Peavy stayed in SD. I know he wants out, but it's going to take a helluva trade for him. Thanks for Gerut and enjoy Gywnn Jr. I think they'll both be happy and I hope he becomes the same hitter as his pa.
JANE, thankfully he turned it down!! I am very relieved. Thanks for the encouragement!!
DARION, thanks. He's staying here for now.
HYUN YOUNG, JAKE'S STAYING!! I am so relieved!!
CANUCK, we're doing pretty well, but it's not easy. yes, the front office is trying to kill me. man…
HOLLY, thank you, and he is!!
KING OF CALI, looks like it's going to be anther one of those🙂 I don't actually feel like we're playing that well, but we're getting the job done so…
HOMER, haha, that's a great chant!!
DILLON, oh man I know it.. He's such a huge part of our organization right now!
CREWFAN, no, thank YOU!!
JULIA, thanks so much!!
DILLON, yes he loves it here. I am so glad he's staying!!
NWEST, Jake doesn't want out, but I'm glad he's here. Yeah, I'm really excited about having Gwynn here🙂
