Visa plans to release a new version of the credit card that will cut down online shopping fraud. This new credit card will be the same basic size and form, but with one huge difference – it will have a built in LCD and keypad on the back of the card. Powered by a built in battery that will last up to three years, these cards will work until they expire and there is no need to worry about charging them.
The way the that these new credit cards will prevent fraud is by making it necessary for the users to input their pin every time they make an online purchase. The card will then display a unique security code, which must be entered into the website, which will forward it to Visa's servers, where the purchase will be approved.
"We hope this new card will help allay those fears, and give consumers more confidence when shopping online" said Sandra Alzetta of Visa.
The company hopes that the card will boost shopping over the Internet and it will be tested in Britain early next year by the company MBNA.

I'm someone getting into GF baking after doing a lot of regular white flour baking (A friend of mine has developed a gluten allergy, I offered to look into some techniques for getting him delicious pizzas & bread), I'm curious if it's appropriate to use long fermentation techniques as described in Peter Reinhart's books with GF baking?, My understanding is that the long ferment is not related to gluten development, but to draw sugars out of the flour, I think that should still work but am curious as to whether other ingredients like the Xantham gum might degrade or be consumed during the process, or if the common GF flours (Rice, Tapioca, Potato) will not perform similarly to white flour under those circumstances?Thanks for any info you can provide, - Josh
As far as I'm aware, the long fermentation should not be an issue in GF baking. I've made some pizzas and left the freshly-made dough in a sealed container in the fridge for several days, and it seems to have no adverse effect.
Your question about the flours is an interesting one. Is it the flour that yeast derives its food from? I was under the impression it was the sugars that were added separately...but perhaps I'm way off base here.
In any case, it doesn't seem to my (unscientific) eye that there is a discernable difference in yeast behaviour with the different flours.

NMU sweeps CCSA ski titles
COLERAINE, Minn. – The Northern Michigan University nordic ski teams protected their first-day lead and won the title Sunday at the CCSA Championships.
For the second straight day, NMU junior Erik Soderman won the men's race, this time in the 20-kilometer freestyle in 55 minutes, 25.1 seconds. And in a repeat, sophomore teammate Kyle Bratrud was runner-up in 55:26.2.
"Everyone's really happy to have won," NMU head coach Sten Fjeldheim said. "It was an interesting format this year, having the sprints and the relays involved. I think our team has really been firing on all cylinders this weekend though, and we are happy with how things turned out."
Also finishing for Northern was junior George Cartwright in fifth and senior Chris Bowler in ninth.
For the women in the 15K freestyle, junior Rose Frankowski was the top Wildcats finisher in second place in 48:28.3, just a few seconds behind the University of Alaska's Aly McPhetres. The two battled the entire race, but McPhetres pulled ahead in the end.
"Aly is really an excellent downhill skier – I was impressed with her downhill ability," Fjeldheim said. "Every time Rosie would try and pull away, (McPhetres) would close that gap on the downhill."
Rounding out the women finishers for NMU was junior Jordyn Ross in fourth and freshman Mary Kate Cirelli in seventh.
Northern captured the men's title with 303 points, while the women had 292.
Overall, the Wildcats finished with 595 points, with Alaska second at 514. Michigan Tech took third with 454 points, beating out St. Scholastica by a single point.
NMU travel to Houghton this weekend for the NCAA regional tournament.
On Saturday, Soderman won the men's 10K classic, his first conference title of the year, in 26:14.2, with Bratrud again runner-up in 26:19.7.
Bowler was fifth in 26:42.0, while Cartwright was seventh.
In the women's 5K classic, Hannah Boyer led Northern with in second place in 15:18.6, with Ross third in 15:19.3, Cirelli fifth in 15:24.1 and Frankowski coming in ninth.


text: Seeing the enormous potential, governments and investors are already positioning themselves for a forest carbon market.support sustainable development than they would from conventional logging or conversion of forests to farming. The world's only sizable carbon market, in the European Union, prices carbon at $20 per ton. If investors seeking carbon offsets were to pay even a fraction of that amount to help preserve tropical forests in Indonesia, for example, it would dwarf the financial benefits the country receives from forestry – currently only $0.34 per ton of carbon released, one study has shown. Further, because REDD is compatible with sustainable harvesting of forest products and low-impact ecotourism, it could become an integral part of rural development schemes.

Citizenship and Immigration
Oral Questions
11:55 a.m.
Calgary Southeast
Jason Kenney Minister of Citizenship
Mr. Speaker, last year Canada welcomed the largest number of immigrants in six decades. We welcomed more refugees, resettled through the UN, than any other country in the world per capita. We have the fairest asylum system.
What we will not accept are criminal gangs seeking to abuse this country's generosity and treating Canada like a doormat by facilitating the illegal and dangerous entry of people paying tens of thousands of dollars to smuggling syndicates. That is why later today the government will table our legislation to crack down on human smuggling, to stop those who would seek to abuse this country's immigration laws and undermine public confidence, and to support legitimate immigration and refugees.
The Environment
Oral Questions
11:55 a.m.
Kirsty Duncan Etobicoke North, ON
Mr. Speaker, on Tuesday the Minister of the Environment told this House that the oil sands industry contributed 6.5% of Canada's total greenhouse gas emissions in the government's report to the United Nations.
The minister's own office has confirmed that his comments were not true.
Will the minister, knowing what he does now, rise, admit his answer was wrong, correct the record, and fully apologize?
The Environment
Oral Questions
11:55 a.m.
Peter Kent Minister of the Environment
Mr. Speaker, my colleague is still in the environmental weeds on this question.
As in previous years, our reporting is detailed and in full compliance with the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, and it includes all emissions from the oil gas.
There are three energy categories that contain the oil sands gas: fossil fuel production and refining, mining and oil and gas extraction, and fugitive sources.
In response to queries, Environment Canada reduced a 6.5% estimate of those tonnages, which are in the United Nations report.
Oral Questions
11:55 a.m.
Anne Minh-Thu Quach Beauharnois—Salaberry, QC
Mr. Speaker, the Health Council of Canada is asking all levels of government to work together to strengthen our health care system. During the last session, the government asked the Senate to review the 2004 health accord. The Senate is an undemocratic institution that is not accountable to anyone.
Will the government assign the responsibility of reviewing this important accord to the Standing Committee on Health, which is made up of elected members of Parliament?
Oral Questions
Leona Aglukkaq Minister of Health and Minister of the Canadian Northern Economic Development Agency
Mr. Speaker, it is up to the health committee to determine what projects it wants to review. I have been very open with the health committee. If it wants to review the 2014 accord, it is more than welcome to do so.
There is a statutory requirement, under the health accord, for a committee to review the 2014 accord. I asked the Senate to review that prior to the election. I am open to HESA conducting its own review as well.
Foreign Affairs
Oral Questions
Phil McColeman Brant, ON
Mr. Speaker, this week marks two years since Iranians went to the polls to express their democratic will. The regime in Tehran responded with repression.
Could the Minister of Foreign Affairs please comment on this anniversary?
Foreign Affairs
Oral Questions
Ottawa West—Nepean
John Baird Minister of Foreign Affairs
Mr. Speaker, we stand with our allies in condemning this regime and the crackdown that followed the election just two short years ago. It was absolutely brutal and totally uncalled for.
Two years on, the repression continues, sadly, in Iran. Next door in Syria, Iranian officials are assisting the al-Assad regime's crackdown on the vulnerable people of Syria.
We will work with the international community to increase pressure on these regimes. We stand with the people of Syria. We stand with the people of Iran who yearn to be free and to exercise their rights.
Tourism Industry
Oral Questions
Raymond Côté Beauport—Limoilou, QC
Mr. Speaker, Gilbert Rozon's recent report on the performance of Quebec's tourism industry points out the multitude of aging attractions and the shortage of new projects. The report also highlights the lack of a common vision amongst the industry's players.
Will this government commit to working closely with the Quebec government and industry stakeholders to develop a vision for the future of Quebec's tourism industry?
Tourism Industry
Oral Questions
Maxime Bernier Minister of State (Small Business and Tourism)
Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank the hon. member for his question and congratulate him on being elected.
I have just come from Vancouver, where I met with representatives of the Canadian Tourism Commission. I can tell the hon. member that we are developing a tourism strategy for Canada. It is a very important industry. Last week, I met with my colleague, the tourism minister for Quebec. We are working for the tourism industry and we will soon have an effective strategy that responds to the public's requests.
The Environment
Oral Questions
Elizabeth May Saanich—Gulf Islands, BC
Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of the Environment and concerns oil and gas exploration.
I certainly agree with hon. members of the official opposition about risks of oil and gas in British Columbia, but on the other coast while many areas have been developed, one has never been touched.
This is the Gulf of St. Lawrence, a most biologically productive region with over 2,000 marine species including endangered blue whales. It is now threatened by a deep water oil well. This is a region that touches five provinces.
The minister has received the request for a joint panel. Could he tell this House if he agrees?
The Environment
Oral Questions
Peter Kent Minister of the Environment
Mr. Speaker, I congratulate my colleague on her first question on the environment in this House. I hope that our ongoing dialogue will continue to be based on facts and science. The government is committed to ensuring—

Oral Questions
Peter Kent Thornhill, ON
Mr. Speaker, I can confirm for my hon. colleague that I have received a request from the Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Offshore Petroleum Board to refer the project to a review. I will consider the facts and make a decision in due course.
Presence in Gallery
Oral Questions
June 16th, 2011 / noon
The Speaker Andrew Scheer
I wish to draw the attention of hon. members to the presence in the Ladies Gallery of Mr. Rick Hansen, a celebrated athlete and a recipient of the Companion Order of Canada and the Order of British Columbia.

MARQUETTE – Douglas James Zanetti, 56, of Marquette, passed away Saturday afternoon, Jan. 26, 2013, at Marquette General Hospital following a short illness.

Doug loved to cook and entertain friends. In his free time, his hobbies included fishing and camping. He also had a love of music. He will most be remembered for his infectious laugh, his sense of humor and his love of life.

Rated 5 out of 5 by HappyUser Fleur-de-Lis Clock and Thermometer I have 2 sets of this product outside under eaves placed in 2 levels of my garden in Santa Barbara California. We have had them for many years and all have worked perfectly giving both time and temperature accurately. We have received many compliments on their beauty. They are hung so a low voltage lamp focuses on each for nighttime viewing. I recommend them highly June 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by JayRene Beautiful Addition to our Florida Room We purchased the clock and thermometer for our Florida room and could not be more pleased. They keep an accurate time and temperature and are even more elegant than they appear in the catalog. We looked at several sets from other places before purchasing these online but they never seemed to quite measure up to the ones from Frontgate. So glad we ordered these!!! May 16, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Michel Great addition to patio These look beautiful against my brick house. They have lasted through the winter (I forgot to take them down) and are still accurate. It is so nice to have the time and temperature where they can be seen from the entire garden. I have received many compliments on how nice these look. Very well made and expensive looking.

If you believe Wikipedia, we have illustrator Charles Dana Gibson, who created the slender-waisted, chignon-crowned Gibson Girl, to blame for the American woman's obsession with beauty. The online encyclopedia claims he personified the feminine ideal with his "satirical" pen and ink drawings. If you believe Richard D. (Dick) Rasor, a former advertising executive for J. Walter Thompson and the current owner of The Bethel Inn Resort in Bethel, Maine, Gibson was the first American feminist.
Rasor has dedicated an entire room at the Inn to the long-necked beauties and their eponymous creator. He took me on a tour of the Gibson Room earlier today, pointing out how the graphic designer riffed on men, the weaker sex, in many of his renderings: "With absolute clarity, he shows how screwed up men are!"
Leave it to Rasor to have a different take on Gibson's standing in American history, as he has a razor sharp way of cutting through ambiguities (pun intended)! The hotelier bought a very different resort in 1979 than the one I am sitting within as I write this today. The 60-guestroom hotel surrounded by 100 acres and a 9-hole golf course saw 3,000 visitors a year in the late seventies.
Today the property hosts 35,000 guests to its gracious spot off the commons in the Maine mountain village; has 200 acres surrounding its charming Victorian façade, an 18-hole golf course, 40 condominiums abutting the green, 40 kilometers of cross-country ski trails, and a popular spa.
During lunch in the Inn's Millbrook Tavern & Grille, Rasor explained that from the start he was intent on founding a marketing-based business when he left the "Mad Men" world of New York City advertising. He paid $400,000 for the property in '79, which he pointed out was about the same amount of money a home in Scarsdale, New York, would have cost during that time.
In an article printed in Snow Country in 1989, Rasor advised everyone in the high-pressured world he had left to sell their $800,000 homes, buy a $150,000 home in Bethel, and use the rest of the money to open a small business: "There's no way, really, to be on a power trip in Bethel, Me," he quipped.
The talented businessman practiced what he preached, trading in his room at the top for a room at the Inn, and he's been thrilled about his decision ever since. I, for one, am happy to have been in his spirited presence as he shared his passion about building a unique property with an abundance of character in the heart of one of the prettiest mountain destinations in our country.
I am also happy he didn't take his father's advice. "Don't get into the hotel business," was the elder Rasor's first caveat. Then he told his son, "If you do, don't be dumb enough to buy a resort!" Had Rasor listened, not only would he have missed out on the opportunity to create a unique vacation experience for thousands of tourists each year, he might not have met his beautiful wife Gretchen, whom I had the pleasure of meeting last evening.
And back to the Gibson Room: Rasor owns several original Gibson Girl drawings, which explains his fascination with the comely women with pert chins and perfectly pursed lips. He motioned me over to a framed drawing—one of about a dozen in the room—titled "A Little Story. By a Sleeve." As we leaned down and peered at the illustration, he asked me why I thought the piece of art was given such a title.
I said, "I have no idea!" With a very pleased expression on his face, he said, "Look at her sleeves: one is flat! Guess where the guy would have been sitting before the waiter came in! And a Gibson Girl would never have a lock of hair out of place!"
Though this may seem completely unrelated to a story about an inn, I beg to differ. A successful hospitality venue is built upon a precept that Rasor's keen observation skills attest to: it's all in the details. One of the results of this at the Bethel Inn Resort is an ample dose of charm.

Tips for taking care of this kitchen and bathroom feature
Kitchens and bathrooms are notoriously sloppy spots in the house. The sink, tub or food prep areas are frequently sources of staining, dirt, grime and splatters. How do you plan for this type of potential damage? Find out what is a backsplash, how this home feature can help you and what�s the best way to care for it.
What is a backsplash? A backsplash is a useful feature in your home. Areas like the kitchen and bath are prone to becoming dirty through daily use and over-splash. Most homes will already have backsplashes connected to countertops and behind bathroom vanities and sinks. If your home is lacking this feature, it is a good idea to select and install a backsplash. The investment will keep your home looking and functioning well. Additionally, backsplashes offer a design opportunity that can introduce attractive tiling, mosaics, bead board and more.
How backsplashes help. Backsplashes in the kitchen are incredibly useful. A backsplash that�s well placed and high enough can protect the wall behind the sink from water damage, mildew and paint, or other wall finish wear and tear. Backsplashes behind the stove keep bubbling tomato sauce and grease from the frying pan off your walls, eliminating the potential for stains. Scrubbing stains from a painted wall can really do a number on the paint job and after a few incidents can actually cause the wall underneath to show through as the paint is worn off. Backsplashes in the bathroom help keep the walls surrounding the sink area free of toothpaste and water splatter.
How to care for your backsplash. Backsplashes are there for a reason�to get dirty. Because of this function, backsplashes must be attractive, easy to clean and sturdy enough to resist staining and hold up to frequent cleanings, according to the Washingtonian. Common backsplash materials are plastic laminate, tile, bead board, mirrors and stainless steel. Caring for a backsplash depends upon the material. Non-porous surfaces like tile can be wiped with a damp rag. If the dirt is stubborn, a glass cleaner can help get the job done. Wood or other bead board material is probably finished with varnish or paint. In these cases, use the manufacturer's recommended cleaning tips, but mild soap and a damp cloth is usually fine for cleanup. Avoid abrasive cleansers, bleaches, and steel wool or other abrasive cloths. Always use the least harsh and most effective cleaning method. It is best to wipe up right away, as leaving splatters can cause staining and trouble in cleaning.

Peter - that is a great post. We both chose 20% starter. Why did you choose 20% oil - I went back and forth on choosing a lower oil percentage than most of the recipes I was researching. I thought the high oil would severely inhibit the natural yeast. Any thoughts on this? I was thinking of upping the oil next time.

"It's a massive, unbelievable competitive advantage. Having access to a private jet is the single most important asset to any national political campaign. "
A yardstick for charter brokers
Charter brokers are sometimes treated like the Rodney Dangerfields of the business aviation world. They don't get the respect typically accorded to the operators they work with–the companies that control or own the aircraft you use when you charter a flight.
A group of charter brokers under the umbrella of the Air Charter Association of North America (ACANA) is trying to change that situation, which they say resulted partly because some of their brethren don't understand "what it means to be good brokers," in the words of ACANA chairman Dave McCown, who's also a senior vice president at charter brokerage Air Partner.
With this in mind, ACANA is promulgating a code of conduct that its members must embrace and that it suggests all brokers follow. If you're shopping for a broker, you can use ACANA's standards to see how your candidates measure up. (If you're a "belt and suspenders" type, you should also check out the National Business Aviation Association's Best Practices for Air Charter Brokering, which you can download at www.nbaa.org.)
Here's a summary of the standards ACANA considers essential:
Clear message on operational control. A brokerage should make it clear to you that it is not the operator or in operational control of the aircraft. Making this distinction is important because charter operators must comply with Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations that, among other requirements, provide you with financial safeguards and avenues for recourse should you be unhappy with the transaction.
Brokerage firms, which the DOT doesn't regulate, don't provide such protections. Thus, a brokerage that fails to inform you of its lack of operational control–or worse, intimates that it has some control over the aircraft it arranges for you to fly on–is engaged in a form of deceptive advertising in ACANA's view.
Financial stability. ACANA requires potential members to present a letter from a CPA stating that the business is financially viable and an ongoing concern, "not in a zone of insolvency," as McCown termed it. You should demand a similar CPA letter before doing business with a charter broker.
Industry experience: ACANA demands that brokers or the firms they represent have charter industry experience, though no minimums are set. Ask your broker candidates about their industry background and the history of their companies. If the brokerage is new but the broker claims to have come from another firm, check references at the previous employer.
Industry experience is important not simply to ensure the brokerage can handle a legitimate charter booking. Efforts to defraud charter providers by paying for flights with stolen credit cards, phony wire transfers and other scams are rampant, according to insiders like McCown. "The problem with our business is the sums of money we're talking about are very big," he said. "One fraudulent transaction can put a business under, and you do not want to be one of the clients."
Clean criminal record: ACANA said it doesn't accept felons as members, nor does it accept companies whose owners or officers include a felon. "That's one more way to protect the consumer against fraudulent practices," McCown said. Perform due diligence on the background of the broker or the brokerage's principals you are considering dealing with. In the Internet age, this doesn't require hiring a private investigator.
Aircraft, crew and operator auditing capability: ACANA requires members to check and verify that pilots are properly rated and current in the aircraft they fly; that the aircraft are registered with their operators and that the operators have all required certification documentation as well as proper insurance for every flight the broker arranges.
Ask your broker about its auditing methods and capability. If the broker works exclusively with charter operators that are Wyvern or Argus audited–a common method of ensuring such compliance–you should be provided with the Argus or Wyvern report on the aircraft and crew for the trips you book.
A harsh light was cast on broker practices after the 2005 takeoff accident of a chartered Challenger 600 business jet at New Jersey's Teterboro Airport, when an investigation revealed the jet wasn't even certified for use in air charter. In addition to safety issues, other downsides of a badly brokered flight include the possibilities of getting botched catering, a surly flight crew or even a misrepresented or inadequate aircraft.
None of the above suggests that you should avoid chartering through charter brokers in favor of working solely with operators. A broker or brokerage has access to more aircraft than a single operator does, and can find the right model for your needs at a good value.
Still, you have to be careful. The DOT has recently raised the possibility of regulating air charter brokers the way they do operators. For now, ACANA's industry self-policing is a step in the right direction. By keeping the group's standards in mind when you're broker shopping, you can exercise effective regulatory authority over your own air charter operations.
In "A Yardstick for Charter Brokers" [June/July 2011], you say, "If the broker works exclusively with charter operations that are Wyvern or Argus audited–a common method of ensuring such compliance–you should be provided with the Argus or Wyvern report on the aircraft and crew for the trips you book." I was disappointed that the Air Charter Safety Foundation was not identified as a "common method of ensuring such compliance," since we currently have 30 operators listed on our Audit Registry. Going forward, I would like to ask you to give ACSF some consideration when writing articles pertaining to Part 135 and 91K industry audits.

Bronchos rally for win over ENMU
April 19, 2008
PORTALES — Eastern New Mexico University's bats put a serious hurt on standout Central Oklahoma pitcher Clint Straka Friday night.
It wasn't enough to prevent him from getting a victory.
The Greyhounds jumped on Straka (9-0) for a 4-0 lead through two innings, but the Bronchos scored six times in the third and held on for a 10-7 Lone Star Conference win at Greyhound Field.
Straka entered the game with a 1.86 earned run average and had allowed just 20 runs (14 earned) in 67 2/3 innings. He lasted 5 2/3 in this one, giving up 11 hits and seven earned runs.
Jonathon Marbury beat out an infield hit and scored on Derrick Kennedy's two-out double to left in the ENMU first, and the Hounds (21-23, 14-19 LSC) added three in the second on a two-run single by Clayton Young and an RBI double by Marbury.
The Bronchos (30-18, 21-15) sent 12 men to the plate in the third inning in taking a 6-4 lead. Breck Draper's 17th home run of the season, a two-run shot, made it 8-4 in the sixth.
The Hounds then chased Straka and pulled to 8-7 in the bottom half when senior second baseman Tyler Hayes delivered a two-out, three-run triple to center. Ben Gamblin relieved Straka and got Kennedy on a groundout.
Designated hitter Tyler Carroll homered leading off the Bronchos' eighth, and Central Oklahoma added an unearned run in the ninth
Aaron Chong pitched a perfect ninth for the Bronchos to earn his sixth save.
Carroll, Michael Pollock, Luke Yost and Draper all had two hits for Central Oklahoma, which outhit ENMU 13-11. Hays, Marbury, Young and shortstop Kevin Thompson each collected two hits for the Hounds.
Left-hander Seth Clabaugh (3-5) went six innings, allowing eight runs — seven earned on 11 hits. He walked four and struck out seven.
The teams resume the four-game series with a 4 p.m. doubleheader today. A 1 p.m. single game is on tap Sunday.

Meeting Description:
3rd One-day Workshop on Pragmatics: Context, Contextualization and
Entextualization, at Fuji Women's University in Sapporo
9th of September, 2010
Plenary Speaker:
Anita Fetzer, University of Wuerzburg,
Organized by:
Department of English Language and Culture, Fuji Women's University, Kita
16 Nishi 2, Kita-ku, Sapporo, 001-0016, Japan
The goal of this workshop is to examine the complexity of context (and its
multifaceted and multilayered nature) and communicative acts in context.
Researchers in related areas, including pragmatics, discourse analysis,
sociolinguistics, and the philosophy of language, are invited to join.
Second Call for Papers
Abstracts are invited for talks (25 minutes + 15 minutes discussion) on any
topic related to the workshop topic, 'Context, Contextualization and
Context, Contextualization and Entextualization
Context can no longer be seen as an analytic prime but needs to be
conceived of as a relational construct anchored to the premises of
indexicality and intentionality. Rather than being looked upon as an external
constraint on linguistic performance, context relates communicative action, it
relates communicative acts and their surroundings, it relates individual
participants and their individual surroundings, and it relates the set of
individual participants and their communicative acts to their surroundings.
Under this interpretation of context, communication is both context-creating
and context-dependent (Bateson 1972) and in communication context is
imported and invocated (Levinson 2003). In discourse, context is analysed
as a product of language use, as interactionally constructed and as
negotiated. Constructed context is also foregrounded in the discourse, as is
explained by the concept of entextualization, which is the process by which
texts are produced by extracting discourse from its original context and
reifying it as a bounded object (Park and Bucholtz 2009).
Context has been conceptualized with respect to the dichotomies of figure
versus ground, and given-and-there versus re-constructed, it has been
assigned the status of a dynamic construct, and it has been looked upon as
never saturated (Goodwin and Duranti 1992). Furthermore, it has been
assigned the status of a relational construct (Fetzer and Akman 2002)
relating communicative acts and their surroundings, relating communicative
acts, relating individual actors and their surroundings, and relating the set of
individual actors and their communicative acts to their surroundings. It has
been further refined by the differentiation between social context,
sociocultural context, linguistic context (or co-text) and cognitive context,
and between micro, meso and macro contexts (Fetzer 2004).
Degrees of connectedness between context and communicative acts are
subject to debate. Such connectedness might be taken minimally as the one
between indexicals and the context, or as pragmatic ''situatedness'' of
communicative acts in context (Bach 1994, Cappelen and Lepore 2005,
Kaplan 1989, Mey 2001, Recanati 2004).
The goal of this workshop is to examine the complexity of context (and its
multifaceted and multilayered nature) and communicative acts in context,
tackling one (or more) of the following aspects:
- the connectedness between the indexicality of social action and context(s)
- the connectedness between intentionality of communicative action and
- the connectedness between illocutionary acts and context(s)
- the connectedness between micro contexts and their embedding contexts
(for instance, linguistic
constructions seen as a constitutive part of utterances; locutionary and
illocutionary acts seen as
constitutive parts of speech acts; or meta-representations; or illocutionary-
force-indicating devices,
contextualization cues or other types of connectives)
- the connectedness between meso contexts and their embedding contexts
(for instance, genre, speech
event, activity type, frame or communicative project)
- the connectedness between macro context (for instance, culture,
and society) and their
embedded meso/micro contexts
- context(s) interactionally constructed and negotiated in discourse
- entextualization of producing texts

Hi Bellas,
I wanted to share with you a quick video that I thought you might find helpful. I know that many of you, both personal makeup users and makeup artist like storing your brushes in brush rolls. I have a brush apron, but sometimes I'll mix it up and use brush rolls to bring with me to smaller gigs. It's convenient if i'm doing for example, 2 people...then i'll bring two brush rolls so that I can use a set on each client. It's a lot easier than bringing my brush apron which is often packed to the brim.
Oftentimes, I'll set a dirty brush down the brush roll and it will leave makeup smears and smudges. Some of these smudges are easy to get off with a baby wipe or damp paper towel. However, others like foundation brushes and lipstick brushes are really hard to clean off a brush roll. This is especially true for Sigma Makeup Brush rolls. The leather like brush roll has a textured feel which makes it easy for dirt to get into the grooves. At first, I would use a whole lot of elbow grease but I still wouldn't get it as clean as I liked.
Then I came up with a solution! Check out my short video to see my cleaning method:
For those of you who can't watch the video, I'll share my tip. I thought to myself...regular brush cleanser on a paper towel isn't cutting it...what is something a bit more heavy duty that can remove makeup but won't damage my brush roll? The idea - cleansing oil! I used my MAC cleansing oil and a paper towel and instantly the makeup came off with a lot less effort. The oil penetrates the grooves and dissolves hard to remove makeup like foundation and lipstick. Cleaning time is cut dramatically and the oil acts like how Armor-all would work on your car dashboard...it made the leather like surface look brand new. Of course, not everyone has the MAC cleanse off oil...which is also really expensive to just be using on cleaning brush rolls. I decided to use regular olive oil from my kitchen and it works too! I love using olive oil to remove lipstick and lipgloss from my makeup brushes (works like a charm) and now I also use it for cleaning brush rolls.
This tip will work on any leather like case you have. I hope this helped! If you have any other makeup cleaning tips, feel free to leave in the comments.
FYI, Check out fellow blogger Anna Lee...she's having a blog sale to raise money for a teaching certificate. Help her out! http://spendadayinthelifeof.blogspot.com/
Till next time, Ciao Bellas!
FTC Disclosure: The sigma brush roll was provided to me by the company which I reviewed in a past video. I developed the concept of this video on my own because it helped me out and I thought it would be helpful to my viewers as well.

In 1913 James Gidley, assistant curator of fossil mammals, Smithsonian Institution, published the paper: A Recently Mounted Zeuglodon Skeleton in the United States National Museum in which he described the first correctly assembled mount of the skeleton of Basilosaurus cetoides, an Eocene whale (34-40 million years old) that was 55 feet long and had vestigial legs (see femur illustration, right).
The skeletal mount was prepared from a composite of individuals partial skeletons. At the time of publication, this was the only mounted Basilosaurus on exhibition in any American museum. The artist is not acknowledged in this publication but the work looks to be that of Sydney Prentice.

Today (Dec. 4) is commemorated an important, though sometimes little-known, saint: St. John of Damascus. Not only is he important to Church history as a theologian, hymnographer, liturgist, and defender of Orthodoxy, but he is also important, I believe, to the history of liberty.
In a series of decrees from 726-729, the Roman (Byzantine) emperor Leo III the Isaurian declared that the making and veneration of religious icons, such as the one to the right, be banned as idolatrous and that all icons be removed from churches and destroyed. The Christian practice of making icons dates back to decorations of the catacombs in the early Church as well as illuminations in manuscripts of the Scriptures; indeed, many icons can be found in manuscripts of the Greek version of the Hebrew Scriptures and several icons have even been uncovered in the ruins of synagogues.
Naturally, most Christians of the time protested. Patriarch Germanos I of Constantinople was forced to resign and was replaced by Anastasios, who supported the emperor's program. This began what is known as the iconoclastic controversy. It spanned over 100 years, and the iconoclasts in the Roman (Byzantine) empire martyred literally thousands of the Orthodox who peacefully resisted and destroyed countless works of sacred art that would be priceless today. Whatever one's understanding of the place of icons in the Church today, this controversy was a clear abuse of government power that resulted in great tragedy. (more…)

Extremely well done film and Damon is fantastic.
That said, it not a laugh your ass off movie, it is a chuckle movie that quickly becomes painfully uncomfortable. The fact that this is a true story and the guy whose story it is may be the single dumbest human being ever makes you almost wish for an end to the uncomfortable pain of watching.
Worth watching just because of how well the film is done (and it is done VERY well) and the story is worth hearing, but be prepared for some just painfully hard to watch self destruction.

Ruby Ridge Tactics Now Modus Operandi?
August 23, 2012 by Sam Rolley
This week, two decades ago, Americans were watching reports of the horrific escalation of the events that occurred in Ruby Ridge, Idaho, where agents of the Federal government terrorized and killed members of Randy Weaver's family after he failed to appear in court on a charge of selling to an undercover Federal agent shotguns that were slightly too short.
The standoff began on Aug. 21, 1992 when agents skulking through the woods near Weaver's secluded residence happened upon his son Sam Weaver and friend Kevin Harris along with a family dog. The agents, alleging the dog had tried to attack them, killed the animal. The Weavers' 14-year-old son, not realizing who had fired at his dog, fired a shot in response before attempting to flee; he was shot in the back. A gunfight between the agents and Harris ensued, resulting in U.S. Marshal William Degan's death.
The agents later shot Weaver's wife, Vicki (who was holding a 10-month-old baby in her arms), in the face as his teenage daughter Sara ran toward her mother and the safety of their home.
After his surrender and trial, both Weaver and Harris were cleared of the most serious charges stemming from the incident.
From Reason in October 1993:
On July 8, 1993, in what The New York Times called "a strong rebuke of the Government's use of force during an armed siege," a jury in Boise found Randy Weaver, 45 and almost always described in the media as a "white separatist," and family friend Kevin Harris, 25, not guilty on six of eight counts, including murder of a U.S. marshal, conspiracy to provoke a confrontation with the government, aiding and abetting murder, and harboring a fugitive.
Weaver was found guilty on two minor counts: failure to appear on an earlier firearms charge and violating conditions of bail on the same count. As of this writing, he is still in custody, with sentencing scheduled for September 28. Although the maximum sentence for the two crimes is 15 years, his sentence is likely to be about a year, roughly the amount of time he has already served. Kevin Harris went free the day of the verdict.
It seems, however, that at least some within the FBI were aware that what they were doing was unlawful and unConstitutional as demonstrated by a memo written by FBI Deputy Assistant Director Danny Coulson while the siege was under way:
Something to Consider
1. Charge against Weaver is Bull Shit.
2. No one saw Weaver do any shooting.
3. Vicki has no charges against her.
4. Weaver's defense. He ran down the hill to see what dog was barking at. Some guys in camys shot his dog. Started shooting at him. Killed his son. Harris did the shooting [of Degan]. He [Weaver] is in pretty strong legal position.
The U.S. Marshals considered Weaver a very dangerous man who was affiliated with various "right-wing" hate organizations and who, they were told, had spoken ill of Federal government officials and likely posed a significant threat.
In 1995, however, the Senate Judiciary Committee issued a report that called the threat-profile that the government had compiled about Weaver seriously flawed, noting:
…as marshals investigating the Weaver case learned facts that contradicted information they previously had been provided, they did not adequately integrate their updated knowledge into their overall assessment of who Randy Weaver was or what threat he might pose. If the Marshals made any attempt to assess the credibility of the various people who gave them information about Weaver, they never recorded their assessments. Thus, rather than maintaining the Threat Source Profile as a living document, the marshals added new reports to an ever-expanding file, and their overall assessment never really changed. These problems rendered it difficult for other law enforcement officials to assess the Weaver case accurately without the benefit of first-hand briefings from persons who had continuing involvement with him.
Two decades after the incident at Ruby Ridge, law enforcement officials and the Department of Homeland Security have made it easier than ever before to define American citizens as right-wing extremists. All the while, law enforcement down to the smallest hometown police departments have become militarized to the point of or beyond how the agents at Ruby Ridge were equipped.
The paranoid and ever-expanding security apparatus has, in the time since Ruby Ridge, created information "fusion centers" where they compile threat-profiles about religious people, pro- and anti-abortion activists, environmental activists, Ron Paul supporters, Tea Partiers, Constitutionalists, and just about anyone else who has a political opinion.
The Patriot and other Federal acts have given government the power to spy on any person at any time without warrant. And the President of the United States has made clear that Federal operatives reserve the right to kill American citizens that they deem "enemy combatants" or to indefinitely detain them without trial.
Law enforcement was met with condemnation for tactics of haphazardly profiling as a dangerous radical and carrying out a shoot-first-think-later operation against Weaver and his family; two decades later, however, it seems to many people that government has adopted the dangerous policy as a way to exercise its power over all Americans.

To all my fantasy baseball owners out there, you know the rules, "another week of baseball, another week of injury updates." You can't live with them and you can't live without them, so take a quick look at some key names either coming or going in week 17 of fantasy baseball action.
OF, Vladimir Guerrero/Baltimore Orioles: Could be activated from the DL by Tuesday's series opener at Toronto. Guerrero has been out of action since the All-Star break after being hit by a pitch on his right hand. Guerrero has already played a rehab game for Class-AA Bowie on Sunday, so he looks like a full-go here in week 17 of fantasy baseball. (more…)

The image of the Palestinian Territories, for most outsiders who have never had the chance to visit the ruggedly beautiful terrain, typically only involves the political stalemate that overshadows the incredible creativity and inventiveness of the Palestinian people. In many ways Palestinians seem to have entrepreneurship in their DNA. I had the opportunity to witness this first hand on a recent visit to the region, where I accompanied U.S. Special Representative for Global Partnerships Kris Balderston. He was leading a delegation of American entrepreneurs and investors seeking to harness this entrepreneurial spirit and celebrate the culture of innovation in the West Bank.
Palestine for a New Beginning, the Palestinian chapter of the State Department-private sector Partners for a New Beginning (PNB), hosted its second annual Celebration of Innovation (COI) on October 7 in Ramallah. This event brought together 15 teams of young entrepreneurs to present their business plans to a panel of private-sector judges. After listening to seven-minute pitches, the judges selected five winning teams. The Palestinian executives who make up the board of PNB have committed to providing the winners with additional training, mentorship, and funding to help them successfully start and grow their fledgling companies. A significant portion of the Palestinian business community, as well as the U.S. Consul General to Jerusalem, the Palestinian Authority (PA) Minister of Telcom and IT, and the PA Minister of National Economy, attended the event, portions of which were covered live by Palestine TV.
Brought together by the Aspen Institute (serving as PNB Secretariat), the U.S. delegation spent five days learning from the local chapter about the business, education, and investment climate in the West Bank. The PNB Palestine chapter was among the original six members of the PNB partnership and has been leading the way toward seeing opportunities in the midst of a challenging environment since its creation in 2010.
As PNB Palestine chair Zahi Khouri described to the group, "Diamonds are created under pressure, therefore it is only natural that Palestinians entrepreneurs are like diamonds within this region." The Celebration of Innovation brought together 28 young, aspiring Palestinian entrepreneurs from hundreds of applicants. The Palestinian PNB leadership sought to promote the best and brightest entrepreneurs to bring international attention to the business opportunities in the West Bank.
Over the course of our visit, the delegation mentored the young Palestinian competitors and visited entrepreneurs and incubators in Bethlehem, Nabulus, Jerusalem, and Ramallah. The delegation also participated in roundtables on education and universities within the West Bank, met with small businesswomen owners supported by Tomorrow's Youth Organization, and were briefed on the economic situation by Prime Minister Dr. Salam Fayyad. The visit culminated in a celebration announcing the five winners of the COI competition on October 7.
The five winning teams included a Gaza-based business that designs furniture for use in small spaces; a software company, also based in Gaza, that designs web and mobile Arabic educational games for children; a third Gaza-based company that uses technology to improve hydroponics, water usage, and grey water recycling; a female-owned sheep farm based in Nablus that is beginning to expand into the organic market; and a wind-power company planning on developing the first wind farm in the West Bank. While presenting their business plans, participants explained how they intended to overcome obstacles inherent to doing business in the West Bank and Gaza, such as the difficulties in securing permits from the Israeli government to build infrastructure, such as wind turbines, or the challenges in importing needed equipment into Gaza. The Palestinian organizers and large audience enthusiastically welcomed the Gazan participants in the program. (Of the 12 entrepreneurs from Gaza, only one had ever been outside the Gaza Strip before.)
With a commitment for seed-funding and mentorship by the PNB local chapter, each of these unique Palestinian diamonds were beaming and shining bright, proving that even in difficult climates such as the Palestinian Territories, where there is a will there is a way. Congratulations to each of the winners and all of the participants in the Celebration of Innovation. The Secretary's Office of Global Partnerships is excited to see how each of these young Palestinian diamonds progress and is proud to be a part of PNB Palestine's success.

I very much enjoyed this story on Palestinian entrepreneurs. I work with small businesses on a daily basis in regards to site selection and job creation through economic development. I've had the privilege to work with a Palestine-based company as they've entered North American markets and brought their small business to the United States.
In working hands-on with the owners, it's been a breath of fresh air seeing their true entrepreneurial spirit and dedication to their business in action. Their success has led to new opportunities not only for them, but also for the U.S. through the new jobs their business has created for Americans.

Amelia M. in Washington, D.C. writes:
Like Justin T., I really enjoyed this posting about Palestinian entrepreneurs. However, I also appreciated the story's content as the topic of Near Eastern countries' private sectors in sometimes overlooked in today's media despite its great relevance.
Considering the business climate in Palestine is known for its rapid changes, it is understandable that entrepreneurs are sometimes reluctant to both invest in businesses within the country. I think it is therefore, commendable that the Partners for a New Beginning celebrated the innovation of these young businessmen.
Furthermore, I am sure these entrepreneurs' innovation will not only play a key role in developing the high-tech market that is currently emerging in Palestine, but will also be instrumental in confronting the upcoming challenges facing the Palestinian economy. These challenges and the importance of new business approaches were featured prominently on the World Bank and International Monetary Fund's agenda at their annual meeting held this past October. The report found though Palestine's economy is currently fragile due to its reliance on aid, it can improve if Palestinians were to adopt an "outward orientation and integrating into world supply chainsâ€. These challenges were also highlighted by the World Bank's 2009 MENA Development Report, which found that 40 million jobs will need to be created by the private sector in the coming decade, and that entrepreneurs must play a larger role in the growth of their countries.

There is no wine involved? Either for a recipe helper, or otherwise?
Craig, Does this preparation mitigate or accentuate the saltiness of the chiles? I have purchase two different brands of Calabrian Chiles, the Tutto Calabria and the Italian Harvest brand. Both seemed very salty, the Tutto Calabria more than the Italian Harvest, but both were saltier than I find pleasant.
Hi Craig -I'd like to give this a try, but all I can source locally at my neighbor's organic farm are ancho and cayenne peppers. If I'm making this fresh, do you think I should do the pickling step first, then do as you describe? How would you characterize the taste of a calabrian vs an ancho? Sweeter, more hot, etc?I'm thinking of smoking the anchos first, then going through the steps you outline. How do you think that will come out?
I wish Whole Foods carried the Calabrian chili peppers, I would love to try to make this oil. I need to find a similar pepper that I can find but since I have never tried Calabrian chile's I have no idea what would taste similar. I would guess they are very hot even though they are jarred. I find jarred peppers to be less hot than fresh ones, although the fresh kind may not be too good for making a chili oil.
Tonight I dipped some Hot pork rinds into the oil and couldn't stop eating them. BTW, the paste can be use to make the hot oil and is just as good Im sure. Thanks for the post Craig.
Have any of you guys tried the Silafunghi brand? This is what I have been using and it's great and very addicting. I add a little bit more olive oil to "extend" them and make it easier to drizzle on pizza. I get it from my neighborhood deli shop but it's also being sold here online - http://www.oliveoiloftheworld.com/shop/index.php?ukey=product&productID=710. Marlon

On May 14, a group of experts from academia, labor, and NGOs joined us for a vibrant discussion on the role of women in the global economy. The conclusion was clear; we must continue to advocate for decent work for working women around the world -- especially for women in the informal sector.
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton commented on this in 2010 at the United Nations in New York: "I remember once driving through Africa with a group of distinguished experts. And I saw women working in the fields and I saw women working in the markets and I saw women with wood on their heads and water on their heads and children on their backs. And I remarked that women just seem to be working all the time. And one of the economists said, 'But it doesn't count.' I said, 'How can you say that?' He said, 'Well, it's not part of the formal economy.' I said, 'Well, if every woman who did all that work stopped tomorrow, the formal economy would collapse.'"
But what is the informal sector and what is "decent work"? According to the International Labor Organization (ILO), the informal sector is the activities"of the working poor, working very hard that are unrecognized, unrecorded, unprotected or unregulated by public authorities." It includes both marginal activities and profitable enterprises. According to a forthcoming statistical analysis of informal employment in 50 countries, informal employment comprises more than half of non-agricultural employment in most developing regions and is as high as 82 per cent of non-agricultural employment in South Asia, and over 80 per cent in some countries in sub-Saharan Africa.
For women in the developing world, informal work is a common type of employment. Women in the informal sector work as farmers, wage laborers, and entrepreneurs. Home-based workers, domestic workers, and waste pickers are also part of the informal economy. Work in the informal economy has risen rapidly all over the world in the last three decades, and is significant in many regions; including North and sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America, and Asia. Women in Informal Employment: Globalizing and Organizing (WIEGO) notes a growing number of informal sector workers are "self-employed." Due to the subcontracting links of the global economy, for example, home-based work is a recent growing phenomenon, and there are estimated to be 100 million home-based workers worldwide.
In almost all parts of the world, women are over represented in the precarious informal sector. Women also take on the majority of domestic responsibility -- caring for children, the sick, and the elderly -- resulting in long days of both paid and unpaid work. Why is this significant? Evidence shows that investments in women are positively correlated to growth, prosperity, stability, democracy, health -- and are vital to our national security.
The Department of State therefore supports activists and NGOs around the world who advocate for decent work and equality of opportunity for everyone. Promoting a decent work approach means promoting "productive work in conditions of freedom, equity, security and human dignity [that] delivers a fair income; provides security in the workplace and social protection for workers and their families gives people the freedom to express their concerns, to organize and to participate in decisions that affect their lives; and guarantees equal opportunities and equal treatment for all."
Promoting a decent work approach empowers women to live in dignity, and it is a pathway to sustainable development that benefits us all.
