FINAL RULE: February 29, 2012
Section 104(b) of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (''CPSIA'') requires the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (''CPSC,'' ''Commission,'' or ''we'') to promulgate consumer product safety standards for durable infant or toddler products. These standards are to be ''substantially the same as'' applicable voluntary standards or more stringent than the voluntary standard if the Commission concludes that more stringent requirements would further reduce the risk of injury associated with the product. In this rule, the Commission is issuing a safety standard for portable bed rails in response to the CPSIA.1

Madrid, Spaniens hovedstad, er en kosmopolitisk storby med moderne infrastruktur. Byen er centrum for forretnings- og finansverdenen, statsforvaltningen og tjenesteydelser, som er kombineret med en enorm kultur- og kunstarv, der stammer fra århundreder af spændende historie.
Madrid ligger strategisk placeret midt i det geografiske centrum af Den Iberiske Halvø i en højde af 646 meter over havets overflade. Byen har bevaret en af de store europæiske hovedstæders fineste historiske bykerner, der harmonisk er iblandet en moderne og bekvem infrastruktur. Hertil kommet et bredt udvalg af hoteller og serviceydelser samt den mest avancerede teknologi inden for AV-udstyr og kommunikation. Alle disse forhold kombineret med et dynamisk og åbent samfund, der på samme tid gang er hjerteligt og hyggeligt, har gjort denne metropol til en af den vestlige verdens store hovedstæder.
Madrid har været beboet siden den yngre stenalder, og det var ikke før i 1561, at Kong Filip 2. udnævnte byen til hovedstad i sit omfattende imperium. Det historiske centrum, der også er kendt som "det habsburgske Madrid", og den imponerende Plaza Mayor, der blev indviet i 1620 og er en af Spaniens mest typiske og populære pladser, er levende eksempler på byens spirende pragt i det 16. og 17. århundrede.
I nærheden af Plaza Mayor finder man det såkaldte "aristokratiske centrum", med det monumentale kongeslot i fra det 17. århundrede, der er opført i en blanding af barok og nyklacissistisk stil. Ved siden af ligger Plaza de Oriente, operahuset og den moderne Almudena katedral, der blev indviet af pave Johannes Paul II i 1993. Af andre seværdigheder kan nævnes pladsen Puerta del Sol, der er omgivet af et forskelligartet og udsøgt forretningsområde, samt "kunstalléen" som har fået dette navn på grund af de fantastiske museer, paladser og parker, den er omgivet af. Her bemærkes især bygningsværker såsom Spaniens Nationalbank, Telekommunikationspaladset samt Cibeles- og Neptunspringvandene.
Kunst og kultur indtager en vigtig plads i livet i Madrid. Hovedstaden har over 60 museer, der omfatter alle former for viden. Her fremhæves især Prado-museet, en af verdens fineste malerisamlinger, samt Thyssen-Bornemisza-museet med over 800 malerie, der omfatter alle perioder lige fra de første hollandske mestre til avantgardistiske bevægelser. Hertil kommer Reina Sofía Nationalmusem for Moderne Kunst, der er udstiller spansk samtidskunst, heriblandt værker af Picasso, Joan Miró, Salvador Dalí og Juan Gris.
Store og velplejede parker og haver, som Retiro-parken, der tidligere var et sted til adspredelse for de spanske monarker, samt parkerne Casa de Campo og Juan Carlos I, giver den besøgende mulighed for at nyde solen, spadsere, ro på søerne eller fodre de små egern i en af Europas grønneste hovedstæder. Den internationale lufthavn, hvor der hver uge ankommer over tusind fly fra hele verden, byens to kongrescentre, det moderne messecenter Campo de las Naciones, og de over 80.000 pladser i andre konferencecentre gør Madrid til et af de mest attraktive forretningscentre i Europa.
Men hvis der er noget, som særligt kendetegner Madrid, er det en dyb og smittende livsglæde, der skinner igennem i befolkningens venlighed. I Madrid finder man koncerter, udstillinger, balletter, et udsøgt teaterprogram og de seneste premierefilm i biograferne. Her findes et stort og varieret udvalg af det bedste spanske og internationale køkken, og man kan lade sig besnære af byens barer og taverner. Det er blot nogle af de forskellige ting, man kan foretage sig i Madrid. Hertil kommer fristende shoppingmuligheder i de traditionelle forretninger eller i butikker med eksklusive nationale og internationale mærkevarer.
Det livlige madrilenske natteliv er også et vigtigt aktiv for den spanske hovedstad. Der findes en fantastisk stemning på pubber, diskoteker, barer og i lokaler med flamencodans. Om dagen kan man deltage i de traditionelle byfester og festivaler, eller man kan overvære tyrefægtninger i forbindelse med San Isidro-ugen, der anses for verdens vigtigste.

Madrid Til dig
An attractive blend of tradition and modernity
Madrid has many artistic attractions, thanks to the different styles that have left their imprint in the city over the centuries.
From the remains of the old Arab wall, to small Gothic churches and early Renaissance works, Madrid boasts a multitude of rich and varied works of art. Madrid comes from the Arabic word Magerit ("mother of waters"), which was the name that was given to the fortress built on the banks of the Manzanares River by the Umayyad of Cordoba, Muhammed (823-886). Although the city grew under the Arabs for two hundred years, the only remains still standing from that period are the wall and a few towers, which were turned into bell towers. The arrival of Los Austrias –as the Hapsburg dynasty was known– in the 16th century, and at the period of maximum splendour in the 17th century, brought about the monuments that today make up one of the most famous parts of the city –the area of "Los Austrias"–, along with the Plaza Mayor square, and a number of beautiful sites churches and convents. The austere Baroque façades contrast with the luxurious interiors of the palaces. The 18th century left a Neoclassical imprint, with the Royal Palace, Sabatini Gardens, and Campo del Moro gardens, which are in the city centre. The church of San Francisco El Grande, the fountains in the Paseo del Prado, the Puente de Toledo bridge, the Prado Museum and the Puerta de Alcalá arch are also in the Neoclassical style. Madrid's more modern and avant-garde areas are the two avenues in the new urban expansion area –the Gran Vía and Paseo de la Castellana. The Gran Vía, which was built at the beginning of the 20th century, is a place for shopping, leisure and hotels. The Paseo de La Castellana crosses the city from north to south, and has some of the most elegant hotels in the city, as well as corporate offices in modern and avant-garde buildings. And although Madrid is home to a truly outstanding architectural heritage, there is no question that its greatest artistic wealth is to be found in its art galleries.
Three nearby museums, located a stone's throw away from each other, make what is known as the Paseo del Arte art route. These are the Prado, the Thyssen-Bornemisza, and the Reina Sofía National Art Centre. The Prado Museum is considered by many experts to be the world's most important art gallery, thanks to its vast and comprehensive collection of 16th-, 17th- and 18th-century art featuring some of the greatest works of the Italian, Flemish and Spanish schools. The Prado is home to works by artists such as Hieronymus Bosch, Rubens, Goya, Velazquez, Murillo, Fra Angelico, Botticelli, Titian, Raphael, Watteau, Tintoretto, El Greco, Ribera, Zurbarán, and a very long etcetera, in addition to a magnificent collection of classical sculpture. The Prado Museum offers private guided tours for groups, outside opening hours, to make this encounter with art an unforgettable experience. The Thyssen Bornemisza Museum is home to a private collection that was definitively bequeathed to the capital in 1993. It is regarded as outstanding because it contains a highly representative selection of art from a broad period of time, featuring primitive works of 13th-century painting through to the 20th-century avant-garde movements. Dürer, Tintoretto, Degas, Kandinsky, Goya, Cezanne, Matisse, Dalí, Miró, Picasso and Renoir are just some of the artists in this collection. The Paseo del Arte ends at the Reina Sofía National Art Centre, famous for housing Picasso's Guernica and for its collection of mainly Spanish contemporary painting. The importance of these three great art museums has unjustly eclipsed all the wealth and variety of the other museums to be found in Madrid. If time allows, visitors can choose from dozens of options, including such worthwhile art galleries as the San Fernando Royal Academy, through to the municipal museums and museums dedicated to particular themes such as the Romantic Museum, the Railway Museum, the Naval Museum, the Army Museum, the Museum of the Americas, the National Archaeological Museum, the National Museum of Natural Sciences, etc. Madrid is also the site of a series of palaces and monuments that together comprise one of the most important heritages in Western history. The National Heritage organisation is responsible for safeguarding these national assets subject to the use and service of the Crown, in addition to the administration of the convents and monasteries founded by the monarchs over the centuries. These institutions contain a great wealth of artworks, and for centuries served as a driving force for Spain's culture. This group of monuments, open to the public, includes the Royal Palace in Madrid, the Pantheon of Illustrious Men, the Descalzas Reales Monastery, the Royal Monastery of La Encarnación, the El Pardo Royal Palace, the Aranjuez Royal Palace, the Royal Monastery of El Escorial, the Casita del Príncipe in El Escorial, the Casita del Infante in El Escorial and the Benedictine abbey of Santa Cruz del Valle de los Caídos. One of the simplest and most convenient ways to discover the broad range of cultural attractions on offer in the Spanish capital is using the Madrid Card. It includes entrance to emblematic monuments and to more than 40 museums in Madrid and the surrounding area. It also offers the chance to take all the guided visits in the "Discover Madrid" programme offered by the City Tourist Board. It is on sale at tourist offices or online at www.madridcard.com.
Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía
Natural surroundings to be discovered
In Madrid there are many natural spaces with varied landscapes - from the Sierra de Madrid mountains, which is full of beautiful locations for practising snow and mountain sports, to the Aranjuez plain or the landscape of La Mancha in the area surrounding Alcalá de Henares.
Golf, sailing, windsurfing, horse riding, hot-air balloon trips and hiking are some of the possible activities. The people from Madrid also like to look after their many urban parks and gardens, some of them well-known historically like the Royal Residence of Aranjuez gardens, the Retiro Park in Madrid or the Casa de Campo park. Others were created recently, like the Juan Carlos I Park or the Tierno Galván Park. They can be found in different urban areas and are very beautiful green spaces.

Madrid, a showcase for Spanish cuisine
Madrid's tapas represent almost all the Spanish gastronomy.
Thanks to the excellent seafood, Iberian ham and cold meat, a variety of pickled vegetables, typical dishes such as prawns in batter, tripe or snails, excellent cheese, "pinchos" and casseroles, and all types of wine from all over the country, Madrid is the capital of tapas.
For young people
Leisure and enjoyment, day and night
Madrid is a city where young people will find leisure and enjoyment, day and night.
There is a host of possibilities. The Dos de Mayo fiestas, the Veranos de la Villa festival or the Autumn Festival are some of the examples of an agenda full of cultural and leisure attractions all year round, and that includes many activities for young people, such as concerts, cinema, theatre or dancing. Coming to a large city always has its privileges, such as being able to go to gigs by international artists, or to watch Real Madrid play in the stadium. Madrid comes alive at night, especially at the weekend. Discos, bars, cafés and fashionable clubs in different leisure areas and districts offer the best nightlife. And when the weather starts to get hot, the best thing is to have fun and hang out until the early hours of the morning in one of the many summer terraces that appear on the streets and avenues. Malasaña and the area surrounding Dos de Mayo square are the main places to hang out at night in Madrid. The university atmosphere is in Argüelles and Moncloa, and there are many fashionable clubs in Paseo de la Castellana and the streets around it. There is also a series of public initiatives that offer an alternative plan for the night, with a whole range of free activities that take place in several centres: sports, Internet, games, theatre workshops, music, dancing, etc. Sports lovers will find magnificent facilities to practise their favourite sport professionally. And if they prefer open-air sports, the outskirts of the city provide an ideal environment for hiking, horse riding, cycling, mountaineering, and any of the winter sports, including skiing and snowboarding.
To those who prefer cultural activities, Madrid offers museums and exhibitions, with special prices for young visitors. Holders of an International Student Identification Card - ISIC card, or a student ID will get significant discounts at the doors of most museums and exhibitions. Visitors under 18 can get into important museums like the Prado and Queen Sofía museums free of charge, showing proof of age. Travelling around the city, youngsters also have it easy, as there is a monthly public transport pass with a special price for people under 23.
With children
Fun all year round
Madrid has a wide variety of leisure activities for children. Animal and nature lovers will be able to enjoy memorable moments in the Casa de Campo Zoo Aquarium and at Faunia, a "bio-amusement" theme park, which offers a fun approach to nature. Those who like more action will love Madrid's Amusement Park and the Warner Bros Madrid theme park, one of the most spectacular in the world.
In Madrid, museums are not only for adults. The Planetarium, with its 3-D cinema screen, Acciona, the interactive science museum, and the Cosmo Caixa museum in Alcobendas are some good examples. But there are also numerous other museums and exhibitions that organise specialised guided tours for school trips and children in general. The Madrid Card Niños is a good option for ensuring your children make the most of everything on offer: it includes admission to the museums in Madrid aimed at young audiences, and, of course, to the city's three most important galleries (the Prado Museum, Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum, and the Reina Sofía Art Centre). It also includes all the guided tours in the "Descubre Madrid" programme, unlimited use of the Madrid Visión sightseeing bus, a tour of the Santiago Bernabéu (Real Madrid) football stadium, entrance to the Zoo-Aquarium, and discounts for other leisure attractions, shows, restaurants and shops. Aimed at children aged up to 12 years, they are available for one, two, three and five days, and cost between €29 and €45. They are on sale at tourist offices or online at www.madridcard.com.
Madrid con niños
Madrid's calendar of cultural events also takes into consideration the needs of the youngsters, including in its theatre performances intended for children, special seasonal activities such as the Cabalgata de Reyes (the Twelfth Night procession), and Juvenalia, the Annual Children's and Youth Fair, that takes place in the Juan Carlos I Trade Fair Complex. In addition, most cinemas in the city have weekend morning sessions for children. During the summer, children can enjoy the wonderful facilities available in Madrid, such as public swimming pools, or water parks , like the ones in Villanueva de la Cañada and San Fernando de Henares. Madrid's mountains, situated to the north of the city, are a great choice for playing in the snow with youngsters during the winter months.

A strategic point devoted to service
Madrid is exceptionally well equipped for trade fairs, conferences, and exhibitions, with two convention centres, and two trade fair complexes. Equipped with the most modern service facilities, the city's capacity and high standards attract more than five million professionals each year, who attend a variety of events.
Lavish palaces and castles mingle with modern buildings in Madrid, giving rise to a varied selection of venues for holding conferences, meetings, and all kinds of receptions. Here, each event will find a suitable venue, depending on the particular atmosphere it requires. All this makes of Madrid a rising travel destination, one of the world's favourites for holding business conferences and conventions. Fully aware of this, the city's range of accommodation is constantly growing and improving. Madrid's hotels are of exceptional quality, and the city has more than sixty-five thousand beds, half of which are in four and five star hotels.

Madrid comes alive at night, especially at the weekend. Discos, bars, cafés and fashionable clubs in different leisure areas and districts offer the best nightlife. And when the weather starts to get hot, the best thing is to hang out at one of the numerous and lively summer terraces that appear in such profusion on the streets and avenues. Here are a few ideas to guide you when you set out to enjoy a night out on the town, from the early evening until the sun come up.
Early evening (between about 8 and 11 pm) Musicals and theatre: Madrid offers the chance to spend an unforgettable evening in the theatre with a whole range of musical shows every season. Some are completely original, and you'll only find them in Spain. Others are adapted classics not to be missed, and which in Madrid can be enjoyed in unique style. To get an idea of the wide offer of musicals you'll find, just take a stroll down the Gran Vía avenue and see the theatres on both sides of the streets. Going out for tapas: Madrid is the ideal city for enjoying the popular custom of "going out for tapas": moving from one bar to another with your friends and enjoying delicious bite-sized portions of typical local specialities (potato omelette, spicy fried potatoes in sauce, croquettes, squid, cod, bull's tail…) accompanied by a refreshing glass of beer or a good wine, and interesting conversation. In the historic centre (mainly in the neighbourhoods of Huertas and La Latina, near the Plaza Mayor) you'll find classic taverns (with their unmistakeable tile-covered façades) and modern venues where in addition to tapas you can order "raciones" (more plentiful dishes to share).
You'll also have the chance to sample the typical gastronomy from each of the regions in Spain, as well as cuisine from all the five continents. You won't need to go far to find all the best-known dishes from any of the world's countries, as there are numerous international and regional restaurants to choose from. Many of these are located in the Huertas area, near the squares of Jacinto Benavente and Tirso de Molina, and in the streets around Fuencarral and the Plaza de España.

Also, when one submits cold to Discovery, for instance, you basically have to sign something similar before anyone will look at your stuff. From their point of view, they get thousands of submissions, many for ideas that look pretty similar to each other, and would rather be protected from what they see as reasonable-looking, but actually not, stolen ideas. Particularly if the submitted does not have an industry track record.

Story Consultant needed – After working on my political documentary for 4 years, I realize that I need someone experienced with fresh eyes who help shape what I've put together into an exciting must watch documentary. Since this is a political documentary, the subject matter won't be for everyone, as I'm telling a story, not pushing an agenda.
Pay would be in some combination of salary and equity. This is an independent film, however, so keep that in mind. DBLasdon AT ca.rr dot com

Last minute tickets are still available for tonight's IDA/DOC U event in Los Angeles. We'll be discussing the Academy Award for Documentary, and the new rule changes.

Join me and Steve Pond (The Wrap), Dana Harris (IndieWire), James Moll (AMPAS) and Dusty Smith (Roadside Attractions) at Cinefamily @ The Silent Movie Theatre on Monday at 7:30pm.

Hi D-Word Community-
First met Doug Block in Thom Power's Documentary Producing class at NYU last year and I'm glad to be here.
Anyway, we all know the power of a really great doc trailer as a calling-card to open doors and build production teams – so we're looking for a editor / "trailer doctor" in NYC to re-cut our 10min trailer down to less than 3 min (see link to YT). The doc is called "Get It All Out" – and it's a story about the power of a long-lost music songbook to survive decades in the hearts and minds of those who first heard it and made it. It's cross-platform project that includes a feature, an album, an eBook and a 10 piece orchestra (down from 13 last year, due to market conditions).
Give it a look and let us know what you think by sending along an email to info(at)mediagroove(dot)com with your CV/resume, experience and links to your previous editing work.
Wed 22 Feb 2012
Hey, Will, glad to see you made it here. I edited your post only to change your email address (spelling out the "at" and "dot"). Since this is a public topic, you'd be subjected to spammers, otherwise.

The La Crosse City council is once again considering changes that could eliminate some committee meetings, but add another.
The Council is considering an idea to drop to the two standing committee meetings which are Finance-Personnel and Judiciary-Administrative. Instead, they would address their business at the Committee of the Whole meeting.
The idea is to streamline a council process that can be repetitive and slow for members and the public. "Especially for the public or for businesses that have to go through the number of hoops, if we can reduce that, that's going to make us a more effective organization and be more responsive to people, especially if they've got requests," said Mayor Tim Kabat.
The city is also considering adding a meeting. It would be a policy meeting where members could discuss issues and talk about the current state of the council without having to debate or vote.
"What we're trying to get at here is allowing this body of people, 17 people that are elected by the community to spend some time discussing, planning, and learning from one another, we don't do that," said Council President Dick Swantz.
The idea is being presented to both standing committees which will give their reaction and recommendation to the full council next month.

I am writing this letter to inform the public about problems we have with health care in this country.
I recently had back surgery. Before the surgery, I encountered the following issues with my insurance company:
Three days before my surgery, the insurance company declined the surgery. When asked why, they stated that according to their policy they have 14 days to approve a request and have declined it.
I called the surgery center and they said they would postpone it a week and have a peer-to-peer review with my insurance company.
After the peer-to-peer review the doctor stated he would do it according to the insurance company's protocol.
Before the surgery, the surgeon explained that the insurance company wanted to use my bone and tissue for the surgery but would not approve the use of protein around the wound site to promote effective wound healing and prevent infection.
I have a genetic degenerative bone disease so using my own tissue and bone I could possibly need another surgery in a few years.
His explanation made common sense to us so we paid the out-of-pocket expense for the tissue from a donor and the protein around the spine to promote wound healing.
As a dietitian, I know that protein promotes healing.
Insurance companies are making decisions that physicians should be making. Physician's decisions to assist with improving patient quality outcomes ultimately prevent shorter hospitalization and improve quality of life for the patient.
We have the right to vote in America for our candidate of choice. So, I am asking you to vote in this election and to make your decision, not by party, but by the candidate's views on health care.

Beach Reads
43 titles to dive into this summer
What follows is a suggestive list of titles for summer reading, with stuff currently on shelves and some more scheduled for later release. Most of these are fiction (when I think beach reads, I don't think reference titles, do you?), but there's some non-fiction as well.
At any rate, the following are sorted alphabetically by title, so just click on the links and enjoy.
• A Chain of Thunder: A Novel of the Siege of Vicksburg by Jeff Shaara — The author of The Killer Angels puts through another historical offering this year.
• A Delicate Truth by John Le Carré — Gibraltar! Counterterrorism! Thrills! Le Carré is a master genre writer, so if espionage is your thing…
• A Treacherous Paradise by Henning Mankell — Set 100 years ago in Sweden and Mozambique, this is a bit of a think-piece novel by the Kurt Wallander series author.
• And The Mountains Echoed by Khaled Hosseini — A summer must-read, from the author of The Kite Runner.
• Bad Monkey by Carl Hiassen — Don't know Carl Hiassen's universe? Here's a fun place to start (welcome to the wackier side of Florida, folks).
• Beautiful Stranger by Christina Lauren — Call it "Fifty Shades of Trashy Reading," methinks (hey, it's a lightweight paperback…so, it's highly portable trashy reading at that).
• Burn by Maya Banks — After Fever and Rush comes this final part of "The Breathless Trilogy"…another paperback, easily carried. ;-)
• Child of Vengeance by David Kirk Gordon — Ever heard of Musashi, the famed Samurai? This nifty read is based on his life: worth your time.
• Darwin's Doubt by Stephen C. Meyer — Following his previous casebook for Intelligent Design, Meyer expands upon that work here.
• Dead Ever After by Charlaine Harris — True Blood's back on HBO, and this book's out…read it, Sookie Stackhouse fans!
• Deeply Odd by Dean Koontz — I've never read Koontz's books, but his followers are legion, so please, enjoy this Odd Thomas offering.
• First Sight by Danielle Steel — Honestly, now: How many novels has Danielle Steel written?! Well, if you love her stuff, GET THIS.
• Hidden Order by Brad Thor — A thriller delving into the back alleys and undercurrents of American history? Cool!
• Inferno by Dan Brown — Duh. Where have you been? This is THE summer read…ya know, the one about Robert Langdon?!?
• Kiss Me First by Lottie Moggach — Oh, the (World Wide) Webs Moggach weaves in her debut thriller…
• Light of the World by James Lee Burke — Head back down to Louisiana for the latest Dave Robicheaux detective novel.
• Margaret Thatcher: From Grantham to the Falklands by Charles Moore — With the passing of "The Iron Lady" in April, this is especially timely and poignant.
• Mistress by James Patterson and David Ellis — You probably know what to expect, so…Patterson's late-summer read is available in early August.
• Paris: The Novel by Edward Rutherford — Like candy to me: armchair traveling. This one's on my list.
• Revenge Wears Prada by Lauren Weisberger — Subtitled, "The Devil Returns," this sequel's built-in audience must be drooling in their designer duds.
• Rogue Town by Vito Colucci Jr. — Local Author Alert: Former Stamford native policeman Colucci tells the story of how he helped clear Stamford of organized crime in the 1970s.
• Silken Prey by John Sandford — Lucas Davenport's latest adventure.
• Six Years by Harlan Coben — Coben remains extremely popular (I really enjoyed interviewing him, years ago). So, it's some new suspense from this author of many, many novels.
• Southern Cross the Dog by Bill Cheng — Solid Southern lit-fic, set nearly 100 years ago. Can't go wrong here.
• Tenth of December: Stories by George Saunders — You've heard of this title (the book was released in January)…Still, highly lauded, highly readable, and very much worth your time.
• The Ashford Affair by Lauren Willig — This is historical fiction, flicking between two women. I have heard good things…
• The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri — Translated by Clive James, this is a fine counterpoint to Dan Brown's page-turner.
• The English Girl by Daniel Silva — Silva's heroin, Gabriel Allon, must solve another mystery.
• The Eye of Moloch by Glenn Beck — Molly Ross fights again for freedom in the sequel to Beck's The Overtin Window.
• The Fall of Arthur by J.R.R. Tolkien & Christopher Tolkien — Tantalizingly incomplete, this is the great one's venture into Arthurian narrative.
• The Great Deformation: The Corruption of Capitalism in America by David Stockman — Local Author Alert: Greenwich native writes of the government's pallid responses to the fiscal pinch and many, many scandals.
• The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald — The recent film adaptation made the whole world (re)read the classic, so why don't you?
• The Heist by Janet Evanovich and Lee Goldberg — A new series about an FBI agent, from the creator of Stephanie Plum's hugely popular genre series.
• The Highway by C.J. Box — Two women on a road trip go missing, and thus begins a police procedural.
• The Last Original Wife by Dorothea Benton Frank — It's Atlanta's social scene, warm weather…sounds like a summer novel to me.
• The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman — You probably know Gaiman is a masterful graphic novelist, but he's also a fine prose writer, to put it mildly.
• The Silver Star by Jeanette Walls — Set in California in 1970, Walls's novel presents more than just dewy-eyed reminiscence.
• The Unwinding: An Inner History of the New America by George Packer — An interesting examination of the past 30 years in our culture, from the perspectives of varying American lives.
• The Walking Dead, Vol. 18 by Robert Kirkman — Zombies! Zombies! This is a collection of the popular series, WD #103-108.
• The World's Strongest Librarian: A Memoir of Tourette's, Faith, Strength, and the Power of Family by Josh Hanagarne — This comes highly praised from all corners: Its author's personal story is genuinely inspiring.
• Things Come Apart: A Teardown Manual for Modern Living by Todd McLellan — Lay on your stomach, sunglasses on, get this beaut on the towel and gaze at 50 design classics (then put the tome on your coffee table when you're home).
• Who Owns The Future? by Jaron Lanier — Lanier introduces an alternative to the online, digital lives we are increasingly leading. Hmmm, and you're reading about it on this blog, no?
• Z: A Novel of Zelda Fitzgerald by Therese Anne Fowler — Paired with The Great Gatsby, naturally: you can't go wrong.
Just a recommendation...
Whatever you read, make your own summer reading list. Putting together a list is a great way to organize your free time: a simple goal-setting exercise that's pleasing because it orders a pleasing activity, whether you're in the sun or the shade, enjoying a cool beverage, or sitting down as you're heating up the grill pre-BBQ, with a book.
And it's an absolutely splendid diversion to read in the summer, I think, one that we should all take advantage of, because we increasingly have less time to enjoy spending our days with books during all the seasons of the year.

Sun Salutations
How and where to practice yoga outdoors
With the summer sun shining brightly, many people look to spend more time outside. One of my favorite ways to enjoy the great outdoors is to try Yoga al fresco.
Taking a yoga class outdoors is a perfect way to expand your practice: surrounding yourself within a natural setting, breathing in the fresh air (and not the sweat of the person next to you), and listening to the sounds of nature instead of the traditional yoga playlist.
When in an outdoor setting, your yoga seems to intensify in a different way. Through the environment you're more aware of your senses and being in the moment. The word "Yoga" traditionally is translated to mean "Union", and experiencing your practice outdoors helps you to connect to the elements—the sun warms your body for the movement, the gentle breeze cools you off as you flow, the sights and smells allow you to breathe more deeply, while Mother Nature's soundtrack plays in the background. It's harmony and connection to the universe, and a perfect place for a moving meditation.
Outdoor yoga is also good for you physically; with nature's uneven surfaces such as sand or grass, the imbalances can challenge and intensify your practice, or allow you to sink more deeply into a position. Doing this also helps you to work the muscles in your feet, hips, knees, spine, shoulders and of course is always great abdominal work! Just remember to feel into the four corners of your feet, and spread your fingers out like starfish, gripping onto the surface of your mat.
When preparing for taking your practice outdoors, be sure to plan ahead for the elements and changes in weather. Always bring your own mat, just in case none are provided (and if they are then double up!) and insect repellent. Also, be sure to bring sunscreen, even if it's overcast. While practicing yoga outdoors is a great way for you to get your Vitamin D, it's also best to remain protected. Also, look into sunglasses that are "downward dog" approved; I love Oakley Women's TwentySix.2 and Forehand (both I've personally tested!).
Check out these local class options:
- Fairfield: Yoga4Everybody hosts weekly Beach Yoga classes at Penfield Beach.
- Westport and Rowayton: Take your yoga to the water with Downunder! Check out their classes or schedule a one on one appointment to try Stand Up Paddle Boarding and Yoga, there's nothing quite like savasana on the river!
- Westport/Southport: Freestyle Fitness offers one on one and small group outdoor classes by appointment.
Want to try it on your own? Start with some comforting positions such as corpse pose, Childs pose, forward fold and downward dog before moving along to more challenging positions.

Ten reasons other than Manny's return why Dodgers fan flooded Petco Park for the 4th of July weekend
Some people are under the impression that the ONLY reason why we Dodger fans were at Petco Park is because of Manny so I decided to compose ten other reasons:
10. It was the 4th of July Holiday weekend! What better way to spend the weekend than watching your favorite team play
9. Is only a nice 2 hour drive from LA to San Diego and about 2 1/2 hours scenery ride on Amtrak.
8. Without going to San Diego, It would have been 14 days without seeing our team play in person. We need our Dodger baseball fix!!!!
7. It was one of the Dodgers For Life Road trip events scheduled by the Dodgers at the beginning of the season.
6. It was my friend Linda 7th annual road trip get together that she organized with Dodgers fans from Dodgers.com. About 50 Dodger fans attended.
5. There are Dodger fans everywhere including San Diego and also the short trip across the border.
4. Those that planned early found the Padres had nice package priced reasonable to attend all three games. Stubhubs also had good ticket locations at reasonable prices if purchased early.
3. It was the only weekend the Dodgers were scheduled to play at Petco.
2. Lots of Dodger fans ALWAYS go to Petco Park when the Dodgers play there.
and the number one reason!
1. The team is in first place with the best record in baseball!!!!!
Go Dodgers!

I guess the question is – how many Dodgers fans bought their tickets to go to Petco Park before they knew that Manny was going to be playing there? If the vast majority bought their tickets before Manny was suspended then the argument that it was a great weekend to go is valid; if they didn't buy them until it was announced that that would be the series where Manny would return then it does make you wonder why the Dodger's fans really went. Red Sox fans buy their tickets to away games as soon as the schedule is announced; I hope in this case that that is what the Dodgers' fans did.
Emma, who really cares why Dodgers fans went to Petco Park. The point is we went! I got my tickets 2 days before & mostly bc I had to wait for pay day…as you know life on the road has been pretty expensive. So Manny tested positive for high testorone levels & MLB needed his medical records to suspend him. I'm over it! I'm sure lots of those fans in denial will get just as nice a surprise as we did one of these days. No need to try and convince anyone. Focus on the team and their accomplishments. It's been way too long since our boys played this well to spend time trying to convince others about our loyalties. I will be at the stadium 7/16 (I'm always there Manny or no Manny) cheering loud for the Boys in Blue! Think Blue & Go Dodgers!
EMMA – I am with you. Not all the Dodgers Fan went cause of Manny. Some did and some did not. Before the series with Dodgers over the 4th of July weekend Petco Park have only had about 3 sold out games and 2 out of the 3 are cause of Dodger Fans. So Dodger Fans have been attending Dodger Games at Petco Park by large group of numbers before the whole Manny Circus. You will always find Dodger Fans in EVERY SINGLE GAME….GOOOOOOO DODGERS!
Is was a great weekend. It was a great Sunday even if Manny was not in the starting lineup which we knew he was not going to be. Dodger fans have been flooding Petco Park since it was build and before that Qualcomn Stadium. I have been part of the fans driving there since I started following baseball 31 years ago.
You know I am throughly enjoying this ride. Can't wait for our boys in Blue to come back but in the meantime I am catching up with my life. We should give them a very nice welcome like a nice long standing ovation for keeping us in first place with the best record in baseball! Go Dodgers!
I heard that! that 2 of the 3 sellouts at Pecto had been because of the Dodger fans. I remember the first time I went to Qualcomm Stadium and marveling at the amount of Dodger fans there. Let me know next time you are at Dodger Stadium. Make sure you take your kids to the kiddy corral and that they have something to get autographs.
Now that a dedicated bunch of fans! Congrats to the Dodgers for keeping up a great record – even without Manny.
That is right Canuck! Even without Manny. No matter what happens in the next two games we will finish the first half with the best record in baseball.

Orange Chicken
Orange chicken – crazy easy orange chicken recipe that takes 30 mins to make. Cheap, healthy and a zillion times better than Chinese takeout!!
Orange Chicken is very popular in the US, especially at chains such as Panda Express. In fact, the dish is so popular that there is a new dish called Panda Express orange chicken with bacon. Many readers requested for my orange chicken recipe, so here is my quick, easy, and super delicious orange chicken.
Orange chicken—also known as orange peel chicken or tangerine chicken—derived its name from the use of dried orange peel in the recipe. As dried orange peel is not commonly available for most people, I used fresh orange zest as a replacement, which works very well. As orange chicken is originally a Hunan dish, you can't do without some chili sauce.
Click the link below for my orange chicken recipe. Try out my orange chicken recipe and I am sure you will like it.

Harrisburg Area/PA
Any info appreciated. I'm familiar with the famous names such as Yellow Breeches, Letort Spring Run, and others. I'm just curious if late October is too late for any decent fishing? I might be in the area for a short period of two to three days. I'm going to be in the Harrisburg metro area and I am willing to drive an hour or so one way, to a fishing spot.
Many Thanks
Re: Harrisburg Area/PA
A couple of considerations for October:
1) Water levels are down
2) Most streams in this area are on private property. It is very difficult to find public access with suitable fishing capabilities. There are a couple of lawsuits going on in this area now. Apparently there are a few landowners who actually have recorded deeds to the stream bottoms which means anyone wading in the streams could be charged with trespassing. The issue is now in the state Supreme Court. It has been my personal experience that the best fishing, especially in the limestone streams, occurs in the Spring and early Summer.
Re: Harrisburg Area/PA
I figure the water levels be down like they are everywhere that time of year. I just can't pass up fishing if I'm in the area anyway. I guess Letort Spring Run have some fly fishing only sections. Are you saying that section is involved in the lawsuits?
Re: Harrisburg Area/PA
From what I have read, one is Spring Creek but I honestly do not recall the other one. As I stated, the Supreme Court is now hearing the case but the PA Dept of Fish and Wildlife, TU and others are watching closely for the decision because of the potential ripple effects on other streams.
Re: Harrisburg Area/PA
Thanks for the info. I guess I have to wait and see. I might try some of the brookie waters instead of the more famous rivers. I am determined to fish if I go up there.
Re: Harrisburg Area/PA
*Hans, I saw your request and I joined to give you this info. The site above will give you info on flyfishing in Pa. There is a message board also. I used to live around Harrisburg and grew up there. In Dauphin County ( Harrisburg), there is public access to Clark's Creek and Stoney Creek. Both are 10 minutes north of Harrisburg. The Yellow Breeches, and Letort Springs are in Cumberland County. Public access is readily available to either. They are perhaps 30 minutes or more to the Letort and the same to Yellow Breeches. If you are staying near Harrisburg, the streams in Dauphin and Cumberland counties are the ones to go to. The creeks up near State College are over 60 to 90 minutes away.
Hans if you get on the message board above, there will be guys willing to set you up.
A few years ago on the Southern Flyfisheman board , you gave me some useful info about fishing the Smokies that was very helpful. I hope this info can help you.
Re: Harrisburg Area/PA
Thanks 18inchbrown. I did some research and yes I have been to that board but did not ask any questions. I kind of figured the streams you are mentioning are the ones to go to. The only negative feelings about going there is the comments from a previous poster that the water levels and the acess might cause a problem. I also noticed that several commercial sources that I have researched never mention fishing in october and certainly late Oct. Do you think it is too late in the season? The more I think about it I wish the trip was in the spring. I might have to talk to my wife and try to reschedul. Many thanks for your info and I appreciate you remembering me from another board. Was it flyfishsouth? or southeastflyfishers forum? I can't remember.
Re: Harrisburg Area/PA
Hans, I posted the link above to the Clark's Creek Trout Unlimited Chapter. I have not lived in the Harrisburg area for 28 years. Clark's Creek is where I did most of my trout fishing, although at the time I was a spinner and dare I say it a bait fisherman. Clark's is a tailwater I believe , from the Harrisburg water resevoir? Clark's is comparable to the Little River in size from my recollection. The chief moderator(Padraic Farrel (sp.)) on the Paflyfish forum is a memeber of the Doc Fritchey chapter.
The forum , you helped me out on was the flyfishsouth forum.
Re: Harrisburg Area/PA
Hans, just another note. You mentioned your wife. Another stream is the Manada Creek, it is near Hershey, Pa. Yes that is Chocalate Town. There is a lot going on in Heshey that your wife would love. Hershey is approximately 20 minutes from Harrisburg and there are a lot of nice places to stay in Hershey. I would suggest getting in touch with some of the locals to find out about the fishing in October.
Re: Harrisburg Area/PA
In Harrisburg area, you have many choices. *There will be no problem with it being October. *In fact, if you have not had a lot of opportunities to fish the pure limestone streams like the so-called "chalk streams" of England, Letort is the one you want to visit. *there is plenty of open water. *October is Trico time on Letort. *You'll want to be on stream around daybreak. *Walk the banks looking for clouds of the tiny mayflies beginning to accumulate over riffles. *The spinners come down like clockwork most days at 800 AM. *When they do, the trout will work the surface. *There will still be dry fly activity for other parts of the day with terrestrials as well, so have hoppers, ants and beatles. *Under the surface, the scud is the primary forage and works year-round there-- wooly buggers can catch the bigguns too, but there is a fair amount of vegetation to negotiate. *It is unlikely Letort will suffer any noticable effect from low water. *Less than 30% of its flow volume is runoff-- really probably much less. *There may be more water than normal and less water than normal depending upon recent rains, but it rarely is blown out, nor rarely too low to fish. *The water will be cool no matter how hot the air. *Wild Brown trout are abundant, though bigger ones can be hard to come by.
Big Spring is of similar character. *There are Browns, rainbows and brookies, some wild and some stocked as fingerlings. *Yellow Breeches has more of the freestone characteristics, but is heavily limestone influenced. *It will also have tricos. *Also, if you are there at the right time, there may be white mayflies that provide great topwater action. *There are all varieties of trout as well, mostly stocked, but some wild. *
Stoney and Clarks are freestone, but Clarks comes out of a bottom-release reservoir and stays cool year-round as it flows under a fairly heavy canopy. *As long as there has been near normal rainfall, it should fish well, too. *It has stocked and wild trout.
These maps ffrom the PFBC will help you locate the creeks: http://sites.state.pa.us/PA_Exec/Fis...erlandmain.htm
(for Letort and Big Spring) and http://sites.state.pa.us/PA_Exec/Fis...auphinmain.htm (for Clarks and Stoney).
Finally, the streambed ownership issue involves the Little Juniata River, further West than Harrisburg. *A nice destination in and of itself. *Presently it is in the trial court, waiting on the Judge to decide if the water is "navigable." *If so, the Commonwealth owns the streambed and if you can get legal access to the water, you can wade where you please. *If not navigable, landowners may own the streambed and prevent wading on their side of the creek to the middle of the streambed. *The private litigant owns (and/or leases) both sides of the river for a couple miles and runs a private fishing club. *He attempts to exclude the public from wading that entire stretch of river and has signs informing rafters not to fish as they pass through.
You can definitely pick up better advice at the www.paflyfish.com message board. *Posting over there closer to your trip will get you up to date info. *good luck!
Please bear in mind that I have no idea what I am talking about.

Continuing Education for Peers and Supervisors: Disclosure
Continuing Education for Peers and Supervisors: Disclosure
Many people living with HIV suffer alone in the knowledge of their illness and fear that consequences of disclosure will lead to further isolation and stigmatization. Anxiety about disclosure adds stress to lives that may be highly stressed already and can impact the immune system.
HIV peer educators and advocates are uniquely positioned to listen to their clients' concerns about disclosure and confidentiality because they have experienced this same life challenge. They can offer invaluable support as clients make decisions about when and to whom to disclose.
Peers also face challenges in deciding when and how to disclose their own status to clients, and how to interact with clients in the community without breaching confidentiality. This webcast is the first of a two-part continuing education series for HIV positive peers and their supervisors.

Branding study to begin with new survey
MONTPELIER Montpelier Alive is working with an out-of-state consultant to tackle the challenge of rebranding the city, hoping to build loyalty and project an image that will lure new residents, new businesses and new investment.
At last weeks meeting of the Montpelier Business Association, about two dozen business owners met Tripp Muldrow, one of the principals of Arnett Muldrow & Associates of Greenville, South Carolina. His firm has done branding work and surveys for communities across Vermont, including Barre, Waterbury and Northfield.
We are thrilled to be here, he said.
The long-awaited branding project includes both the city and state as partners, and will be funded with money from the Downtown Improvement District funds, which are pooled from a special assessment on downtown commercial buildings and used for business initiatives.
At Wednesdays meeting. Muldrow requested that shopkeepers help distribute a survey to their customers, mainly in restaurants and the retail community, about why they shop in Montpelier and how they think the city could improve the downtown business experience.
The survey will run through Thursday, Aug. 14, said Muldrow.
Were not doing brain surgery this week, said Muldrow. If its busy or hectic or something is going on, skip it. Were not trying to catch every human who is coming through the door.
The Capital City Farmers Market will likely turn in just one of the surveys, and not have each vendor complete one individually, noted Muldrow after Carolyn Grodinsky, manager of the market, inquired about the markets participation.
One business owner asked if the people taking the survey should be browsing or actually making a purchase. Muldrow said it didnt matter. Im really interested in the warm body, he said.
Following the Wednesday session Muldrow and Ashley Witzenberger, executive director of Montpelier Alive, hit the streets together to visit in person with the members of the business community, visits that continued on Thursday.
This is the second year of the DID program, whose funds are expected to tally $75,000 annually, and which can be used for both physical streetscape improvements and additions such as benches, planters and holiday decorations, as well as for signage thats part of the branding effort.
Tasks ahead include an intensive three-day visit by the consultant and many meetings with businesses, the community at large and other stakeholders. These will lead to the release of the creative deliverables, the rollout of the new branding concept and all its associated materials to use in a multi-year marketing program, including a new logo, positioning statements, marketing strategies, photographs and more.
Arnett Muldrow and Associates has worked in Vermont for the past decade, and has extensive experience with the Vermont Downtown Program, said Muldrow. Their people are armed with a strong understanding of the state, and are here to help the capital city present its best self.
Anyone who tells you that its science is lying to you, said Muldrow. Its a little bit of voodoo and a little bit of experience and knowing.
The final products are due in late October, said Witzenberger, calling it a quick turnaround.
The firm has done the same type of work in Barre, Waterbury and the Mad River Valley, said Muldrow. So in a way, youre the hole in the doughnut right now. Weve done those other markets... so well be figuring out how Montpelier continues to fill its important niche; that will be fun and that will be interesting, he predicted.
At Wednesdays meeting, the business association also passed the annual budget for Montpelier Alive. The downtown organization anticipates $195,075 in income and expenses of $191,870, leaving a predicted cushion of $3,205 for fiscal 2015.
Officers for Montpelier Alive were also unanimously approved: Sarah Jarvis, president; David Markow, vice president; Greg Guyette, treasurer; and Linn Syz, secretary.
