INTRODUCTION TO HARRIET MARTINEAU'S AUTOBIOGRAPHY.AMBLESIDE, March, 1855.
FROM my youth upwards I have felt that it was one of the duties of my life to write my autobiography. I have always enjoyed, and derived profit from, reading that of other persons, from the most meagre to the fullest: and certain qualities of my own mind,—a strong consciousness and a clear memory in regard to my early feelings,—have seemed to indicate to me the duty of recording my own experience. When my life became evidently a somewhat remarkable one, the obligation presented itself more strongly to my conscience: and when I made up my mind to interdict the publication of my private letters, the duty became unquestionable. For thirteen or fourteen years it has been more or less a weight on my mind that the thing was not done. Twice in my life I made a beginning; once in 1831, and again about ten years later, during my long illness at Tynemouth: but both attempts stopped short at an early period, answering no other purpose than preserving some facts of my childhood which I might otherwise have forgotten. Of late years, I have often said to my most intimate friends that I felt as if I could not die in peace till this work was done; and there has been no lack of encouragement and instigation on their part: but, while I was in health, there was always so much to do that was immediately wanted, that, as usually happens in such cases, that which was not immediately necessary was deferred. At page: 2 the beginning of this last winter, however, I had hopes of being able to unite my political work with this; and on New Year's Day I said to myself that the year must not close without my having recorded the story of my life. I was probably strengthened in this purpose by having for some time past felt that my energies were declining, and that I had no longer a right to depend on being able to do whatever I chose. Two or three weeks more settled the business. Feeling very unwell, I went to London to obtain a medical opinion in regard to my health. Two able physicians informed me that I had a mortal disease, which might spare me some considerable space of life, but which might, as likely as not, destroy me at any moment. No doubt could remain after this as to what my next employment should be: and as soon after my return home as I had settled my business with my Executor, I began this autobiography. I thought it best to rewrite the early portion, that the whole might be offered from one point of view, and in a consistent spirit. Without any personal desire about living a few months or weeks more or less, I rather hope that I may be able to finish my story with my own hands. If not, it will be done by another, from materials of more or less value. But one part which ought to be done by myself is the statement of my reasons for so serious a step as forbidding the publication of my private correspondence; and I therefore stop at the Third Period of my Memoir, to write this Introduction, to the following passages of which I request the reader's earnest attention.
I admit, at the outset, that it is rather a piece of self‐denial in me to interdict the publication of my letters. I have no solicitude about fame, and no fear of my reputation of any sort being injured by the publication of any thing I have ever put upon paper. My opinions and feelings have been remarkably open to the world; and my position has been such as to impose no reserves on a disposition naturally open and communicative; so that if any body might acquiesce in the publication of correspondence, it should be myself. Moreover, I am disposed to think that what my friends tell me is true; that it would be rather an advantage to me than the contrary to be known by my page: 3 private letters All these considerations point out to me that I am therefore precisely the person to bear emphatic practical testimony on behalf of the principle of the privacy of epistolary intercourse; and therefore it is that I do hereby bear that testimony.
Epistolary correspondence is written speech; and the onus rests with those who publish it to show why the laws of honor which are uncontested in regard to conversation may be violated when the conversation is written instead of spoken. The plea is of the utility of such material for biographical purposes; but who would admit that plea in regard to fireside conversation? The most valuable conversation, and that which best illustrates character, is that which passes between two friends, with their feet on the fender, on winter nights, or in a summer ramble: but what would be thought of the traitor who should supply such material for biographical or other purposes? How could human beings ever open their hearts and minds to each other, if there were no privacy guaranteed by principles and feelings of honor? Yet has this security lapsed from that half of human conversation which is written instead of spoken. Whether there is still time to restore it, I know not: but I have done my part towards an attempted restoration by a stringent provision in my Will against any public use whatever being made of my letters, unless I should myself authorize the publication of some, which will, in that case, be of some public interest, and not confidential letters. Most of my friends have burnt my letters,—partly because they knew my desire thus to enforce my assertion of the principle, and partly because it was less painful to destroy them while I was still among them than to escape the importunities of hunters of material after my death. Several eminent persons of this century have taken stringent precautions against the same mischief; and very many more, I fear, have taken the more painful precaution of writing no letters which any body would care to have. Seventy years ago, Dr. Johnson said in conversation "It is now become so much the fashion to publish letters, that, in order to avoid it, I put as little into mine as I can." Nobody will question the hardship and mischief of a practice page: 4 which acts upon epistolary correspondence as the spy system under a despotism acts upon speech: and when we find that a half a dozen of the greatest minds of our time have deprived themselves and their friends of their freedom of epistolary speech for the same reason, it does seem to be time that those qualified to bear testimony against such an infringement on personal liberty should speak out.
"But," say unscrupulous book‐makers and readers, "there are many eminent persons who are so far from feeling as you do that they have themselves prepared for the publication of their letters. There was Doddridge:—he left a copy of every letter and note that he ever wrote, for this very purpose. There was Madame D'Arblay:—on her death‐bed, and in extreme old age, she revised and had copies made of all the letters she received and wrote when in the height of her fame as Fanny Burney,—preparing for publication the smooth compliments and monstrous flatteries written by hands that had long become dust. There was Southey:—he too kept copies, or left directions, by which he arranged the method of making his private letters to his friends property to his heirs. These, and many more, were of a different way of thinking from you."—They were indeed: and my answer is,—what were the letters worth, as letters, when these arrangements became known? What would fireside conversation be worth, as confidential talk, if it was known that the speaker meant to make it a newspaper article the next day? And when Doddridge's friends, and Southey's, heard that what they had taken for conversational out‐pouring on paper was so much literary production, to appear hereafter in a book,—what was the worth of those much‐prized letters then? Would the correspondents not as soon have received a page of a dissertation, or the proof of a review article? Surely the only word necessary as to this part of the question is a word of protest against every body, or every eminent person, being deprived of epistolary liberty because there have been some among their predecessors or contemporaries who did not know how to use it, or happen to value it.
We are recommended, again, to "leave the matter to the dis‐ page: 5 cretion discretion of survivors." I, for my part, have too much regard for my Executors to bequeath to them any such troublesome office as withstanding the remonstrances of any number of persons who may have a mind to see my letters, or of asserting a principle which it is my business to assert for myself. If they were to publish my letters, they would do what I believe to be wrong: and if they refused to publish them, they might be subject to importunity or censure which I have no right to devolve upon them. And why are we to leave this particular piece of testamentary duty to the discretion of survivors, when we are abundantly exhorted, in the case of every other, to do our own testamentary duty ourselves,—betimes, carefully and conscientiously?
Then comes the profit argument,—the plea of how much the world would have lost without the publication of the letters of A. B. and C. This is true, in a way. The question is whether the world has not lost more by the injury to epistolary freedom than it has gained by reading the letters of nonconsenting letter‐writers. There will always be plenty of consenting and willing letter‐writers: let society have their letters. But there should be no others,—at least till privacy is altogether abolished as an unsocial privilege. This grossly utilitarian view does not yet prevail; and I do not think it ever will. Meantime, I claim the sanction of every principle of integrity, and every feeling of honor and delicacy, on behalf of my practice. I claim, over and above these, the sanction of the law.—Law reflects the principles of morals; and in this case the mirror presents a clear image of the right and the duty. The law vests the right of publication of private letters solely in the writer, no one else having any such right during the author's life, or after his death, except by his express permission. On the knowledge of this provision I have acted, in my arrangements about my own correspondence; and I trust that others, hitherto unaccustomed to the grave consideration of the subject, will feel, in justice to myself and others who act with me, that there can be no wrong, no moral inexpediency, in the exercise of a right thus expressly protected by the Law. If, by what I have done, I have fixed attention upon the morality of the case, this will be a greater social benefit than page: 6 the publication of any letters written by me, or by persons far wiser and more accomplished than myself.
I have only to say further, in the way of introduction, a word or two as to my descent and parentage. On occasion of the Revelation of the Edict of Nantes, in 1688, a surgeon of the name of Martineau, and a family of the name of Pierre, crossed the Channel, and settled with other Huguenot refugees, in England. My ancestor married a young lady of the Pierre family, and settled in Norwich, where his descendants afforded a succession of surgeons up to my own day. My eminent uncle, Mr. Philip Meadows Martineau, and my eldest brother, who died before the age of thirty, were the last Norwich surgeons of the name.—My grandfather, who was one of the honorable series, died at the age of forty‐two, of a fever caught among his poor patients. He left a large family, of whom my father was the youngest. When established as a Norwich manufacturer, my father married Elizabeth Rankin, the eldest daughter of a sugar‐refiner at Newcastle upon Tyne. My father and mother had eight children, of whom I was the sixth: and I was born on the 12th of June, 1802.

The name Malak Karsh (1915–2001) has been closely linked with the photographic representation of the National Capital Region for almost 60 years through his numerous, widely known photo stories and publications. These have been instrumental in establishing the prestigious image of the region and its attractions. However, they have overshadowed two other aspects of the photographer's work, described by him as "commercial photography and pictorial journalism." This exhibition opening six months after Malak's death, sheds light on all aspects of his career by presenting a selection of his best works.

Posted: August 5, 2013 in ACE Press Releases
SAN DIEGO, Calif. (Aug. 5, 2013) – Five new additions to the American Council on Exercise (ACE) Industry Advisory Panel will help steer the nonprofit organization in its new efforts to build relationships among leaders in health care, corporate America and government.
The panel, comprised of experts in business, education, health care and fitness, serves as a critical asset as ACE continues to make progress in its mission to eliminate the obesity epidemic by 2035.
"We know tackling the obesity epidemic requires collaboration and that the fitness industry has much to offer in the fight as we build bridges with health care, policy and workplaces," said ACE President and CEO Scott Goudeseune. "The advisory panel plays a big role in reaching out to other industries and getting people invested in this mission. Aligning our efforts with those of government leaders in Washington, fitness facilities in Europe, academic institutions across the country and new health care initiatives, will determine whether we succeed in making a difference long term."

"This group comes with a wealth of knowledge and real-world experience," Goudeseune said. "They were selected because of the success they've demonstrated in their own fields, and we look forward to the insight they'll provide to our organization. Their contributions will be invaluable as we align ourselves with leaders in other industries and facilitate relationships among them that can help us collectively end the obesity epidemic."

The diminutive diva has reinvented herself more times than Madonna and now she's brought out a book, which documents her countless transformations during 25 years in the music industry.
It contains hundreds of vintage photos, sketches, and press shots of the singer's colourful fashion history. "You could go on tour easier than doing a book, it is an extraordinary amount of work," Kylie revealed, in an interview with Elle magazine. "The hardest part is deciding what to leave out. It is like your wardrobe or your handbag - as big as it is you want to put more in."
Kylie / Fashion contains interviews and quotes from some of the most influential in the fashion industry with an introduction written by Jean Paul Gaultier and commentary from the likes of Domenico Dolce, Stefano Gabbana, and Karl Lagerfeld. During Kylie's incredible career the clothes and hairstyles might have changed along the way, but that enviable figure has not. Today, even at 45, she still has the girlish good looks that lit up the screen when she played Charlene in Neighbours all those years ago.
"My style is eclectic, I'm such a chameleon," Minogue admits. "It is a real pleasure to go around and wear different designers and styles. I get an extra kick if I wear an up and coming designer. It is a really nice feeling to know that it is helping get them out there."
During the interview Kylie admits that she's always has a great love of fashion, which spans right back to her childhood. "When I was younger, my grandma taught me how to cut patterns and sew," she admitted. "So if someone is doing a fitting on me, I can converse
with them and know what needs to be done."
The book illustrates the singer's transformation from fresh-faced starlet to fashion icon - getting more daring over time. In one of the most recent shots, she has curlers in her hair and strikes a raunchy pose while holding her dress rather than wearing it - and there are many pictures of her outrageous stage costumes including space suits, feather headdresses, and full-on showgirl outfits. "I look back at a piece and think, 'I wore that for 77 shows around the world with all the pain, tears, blood, joy, and all sorts of stories and emotions along with it.'
If you want to see more of Kylie's work as style muse and musician over the years, check out her book, Kylie / Fashion, which she co-wrote with her longtime stylist, William Baker

I did a cut-out on April 30th. Today is June 12, so that's coming-up on a month-and-a-half ago.
It was a small batch to begin with. I had to throw-out their original comb because it was infested with wax moth larvae.
I have pretty-much been staying out of their way except for the occasional look through the viewing window in my top bar hive. Today I lost patience and had to know if they even have a queen or if this is just some dumb laying worker (Gawwwwwd I hate it when workers become layers......geeeeez.....don't you all hate that?)
So anyhow, this is my first attempt at a hive, so I'm not fully hip to ALL the signs to look for.
I couldn't spot a queen.
The following two combs are all there are.
I couldn't see the eggs good enough to to tell if they are single eggs or the shotgun laying-worker eggs.
Some of these capped brood sure look like worker brood, but I could be wrong.
There's also some black larvae in some of those cells. What does that mean besides they are just flat-out dead? Any particular reason?
Notice the hatching (worker/drone?) in the photo just below. It's circled in red.
I know you couldn't tell from the above photos, but I also made some tinfoil hats for my bees.
Will that impede their development?

Will not buy again
I purchased this product as I am gluten and dairy free. I liked the ingredients and the nutrition values looked pretty good. However when using a full scoop as recommended the taste of the Stevia was overpowering. I now use 1/2 scoop in order to tolerate that taste. I will not purchase this product again.

Love this product!
Finding a protein product without sugar or NutraSweet that tastes halfway good was a challenge! Veggie Protein Vanilla by MRM is the best I have found. And you can do a lot with it. I usually mix it with cashew or almond milk and add a tablespoon of unsweetened coco with a splash of vanilla. Another great one is a half a can of pumpkin, cashew or almond milk with pumpkin spice, and a splash of vanilla. It tastes like pumpkin pie!

Great Taste
I received this as a free sample in my latest PF order. I usually use Spirutein (Vanilla) for my shakes but am always willing to try a new variety. This did not disappoint! It blended well and gave our shakes a great flavor. I can see myself switching between this and Spirutein. This brand is also slightly less expensive and with the free shipping on PF will definitely make me consider using it in the future!

Veggie Protein
I bought this a month ago and used it for my morning smoothy to help me lose a few pounds. I also wanted an alternative to whey and soy protein. A well respected brand as well.
A little too sweet for my liking.

Fantastic Product!
I love it. Veggie Protein by MRM tastes way better than other protein powders I have had with four times more vitamins and antioxidants. Seriously, I love it. I mix it with bananas or fruit, almond milk and greek yogurt and I am happy for hours. I used to mix chia seeds into the shake but then I realized it was already in the powder! Great, great, great!
Tastes good, blends well, reasonably priced.
The scoop is buried halfway down the powder so you have to dig it out.

Now if a majority of the defense begins to express their dislike of Fewells scheme... What do you think Coughlin/Reese/Giants do?
Slip I agree but i think with all the fa's and jpp and hakeem soon to come we move on from KP. But most of all for this reason - brown excelled and Hill flashed. Im not saying they both play a deep center like KP but a degenerative knee is not something to shrug at. I think getting slightly burned by t2 and the emergence of two other players will keep the gmen from offering a deal that he can't get somewhere else.
Hixon started with broncos went to bills - was involved in a very serious helmet to helmet hit and then bounced to gmen. Good scouting by Reese to stick with a guy. WHy does everyone think scouting is for college alone?

Anna Lena Phillips
Psychologist and writer Cordelia Fine studies how our brains work and writes about the subject in clear and entertaining prose. Her first book, A Mind of Its Own: How Your Brain Distorts and Deceives (W. W. Norton and Co., 2006) was one of 12 books long-listed for the 2007 Royal Society Prize for Science Books. Her latest book, Delusions of Gender: How Our Minds, Society, and Neurosexism Create Difference (W. W. Norton and Co., 2010) critiques some neuroscientific research dealing with gender that is, Fine says, not only misleading but dangerous in its perpetuation of falsehoods and stereotypes. Other studies Fine discusses reveal how unconscious gender bias influences people's behavior. Some of the book's findings are downright discouraging, but Fine tempers these with sharp wit and a buoyant sense of humor. And her conclusions ultimately point to a hopeful future, in which both scientists and the public are better informed. The book, which will be out in paperback in August, was shortlisted for the 2010 John Llewellyn Rhys Prize and the 2011 Best Book of Ideas prize.
Fine is a senior research associate at the Centre for Agency, Values and Ethics at Macquarie University and at the Centre for Ethical Leadership at the Melbourne Business School, University of Melbourne. Anna Lena Phillips interviewed her by e-mail in April 2011.
In Delusions of Gender, you make a detailed case that gender differences are primarily culturally created. What first convinced you to write about this subject?
What first motivated me to write the book was an experience I had as a parent, rather than as an academic. I read a book which claimed that hardwired sex differences mean that boys and girls should be parented and taught differently. I found this really interesting—but when I looked at the actual studies being used as evidence, I was shocked by the extent to which the neuroscientific findings were being misrepresented. So my initial motivation was simply to alert people to the fact that old-fashioned stereotypes are being dressed up in neuroscientific finery, and to remind people not to be so enthralled with brain imaging that they forget the importance of social factors.
But when I started to look more closely at the scientific literature itself, I was surprised to discover just how little really concrete evidence there is for the idea that there's such a thing as a "male" brain hardwired to be good at understanding the world, and a "female" brain hardwired to understand people. Instead what I found was a great deal of evidence that our minds are exquisitely attuned to the social environment, and surprisingly sensitive to gender stereotypes. The problem then becomes that these very confident popular claims about "male" brains and "female" brains reinforce gender stereotypes in ways that have self-fulfilling effects on the way we think and behave. And so at that point my aim for the book became to explain this much more complex, and actually much more interesting, picture of the state of the science in a way that would be accessible to everyone. I hope it will help to dispel the belief, encouraged by many popular commentators, that science has shown that hardwired sex differences mean that it's pointless to hope or strive for greater sex equality.
I was fascinated by your descriptions of how culture can help to create and reinforce gender. Of all the studies that try to measure this, is there one that you find particularly compelling?
Probably the work I found most intriguing, since it shows just how subtle the cultural transmission of gender can be, was Stacey Sinclair's research on "social tuning." She and her colleagues have found that we socially "tune" our self-perceptions to blend with the opinion of ourselves held by the person with whom we're interacting. For example, when women were led to believe that they were going to spend some time with someone charmingly sexist, they obligingly temporarily perceived themselves as more stereotypically feminine than a control group. And remarkably, when they actually interacted with the supposed benevolent sexist, they even behaved in a more stereotypically feminine way.
The book has received a lot of critical acclaim. But one review, although it too offered praise for the book, claimed that you devote more time to less rigorous studies of gender differences in the brain than to better studies, and that there are more solid examples to mention that do show difference. What would you say to this?
It's simply not the case that, as the review suggested, my book—while rightly wresting the maverick shoddy science to the floor—overlooks more solid research. Much of the research I critiqued was published in the most prestigious journals of science, has been cited heavily, and furnishes the very foundations of claims of essential differences. I certainly did not pick off only the weakest prey.
There are three important issues that apply to all research supposedly showing evidence of sex differences in biological predispositions. First, researchers often have an impoverished view of the social influences of which they must take account before coming to the conclusion that sex differences in "hardwiring" or "biological predispositions" explain behavioral differences. A second important issue is that methods really matter, yet researchers are often not careful enough about them. As a result, what from a distance seems like a solid scientific structure can be seen close up to be resting on a web of unsubstantiated assumptions. Third, when it comes to interpreting sex differences in the brain, there are numerous reasons for caution. The differences may be spurious—surprisingly few sex differences in the brain are uncontroversial. The differences may also be a result of brain size rather than of the individual's sex, since on average the male brain is larger than the female brain. And then, even if a sex difference turns out to be real and reliable, the fact of its existence does not tell us why it exists—could it be the product of experience?—or what impact, if any, it has for thinking, feeling and behavior.
You talk in the book about a lot of studies that reveal unconscious gender bias. Was it difficult to confront all this evidence and to write about it?
I think what made me most despondent was the growing realization that this is a book that has been written many times before, and will be written many times again. As long as there has been brain science there have been—in retrospect—misguided explanations and justifications of sex inequality: Women's skulls are the wrong shape, their brains are too small, their hemispheres are too unspecialized. Again and again, these hypotheses eventually find themselves hurled on the scientific scrap heap. But not before they become part of cultural lore and reinforce social attitudes about men and women in ways that hinder progress towards greater sex equality. And it's still happening—we don't seem to be learning from history. But at the same time, it was also encouraging to see how much society can change—for the better—in a relatively short period of time. Shortly after the book was published, Julia Gillard became Australia's first female prime minister. Less than a hundred years ago, the very idea of women voting—never mind being voted for—was to many a foolish and dangerous idea.
What advice would you offer scientists, of any gender, who want to be more aware of issues surrounding gender bias and the scientific study of gender?
I came to realize from researching and writing the book that, when it comes to this topic, we are afflicted with the problem of premature speculation. We are too quick to conclude that we have found the neural basis or biological origins of sex differences. There are lots of specific ways in which the quality of the science could be improved. But more generally, I think there is a perception that—such is the politically correct society in which we live—if anything, we are all very wary about suggesting that males and females are essentially different. Yet through researching the book I discovered that you can write whatever drivel you like about male and female brains and, if you're lucky, enjoy the pleasure of seeing it quoted uncritically in a reputable newspaper, becoming a bestseller, changing the educational strategies of a school, or being sold as a training tool to a large corporation. And this casualness is also, sometimes, in evidence within the scientific research: tiny sample sizes, poor methodologies, untested assumptions and precipitous conclusions. I certainly don't say that these problems are ubiquitous. There is plenty of good, careful and cautious work too. But casualness is tolerated. And so, beyond the specifics of how research is done, I think scientists could usefully become aware that unexamined assumptions about gender do still influence the way that research is conducted and interpreted, and that the idea of a politically correct social climate is a mischaracterization.
What should interested readers turn to after Delusions of Gender?
I would strongly recommend Rebecca Jordan-Young's recent book Brain Storm: The Flaws in Sex Differences Research.
What's your next project?
Conceptually, I'm interested in looking concretely at how the quality of the neuroscientific investigation of sex differences can be improved, and at the ethical responsibilities of scientists who work in this area. Empirically, I'm starting to look at how beliefs or information about essential differences between the sexes might influence workplace judgments and behavior, as part of the Gender Equality Project at the Melbourne Business School.

The BMW 3 Series is one of the top-selling luxury cars in the United States and a favorite with consumers for good reason. It's a classy entry-level luxury car endowed with world-class fit and finish, spirited performance and an exquisite ride-and-handling balance unmatched by most vehicles at any price. That's true no matter which model or year you choose, as generation after generation of the 3 Series has offered the same strengths in spite of continual evolution.
In reviews, we've lauded the exceptionally well-rounded nature of this 3 Series. Whether you're devouring miles on the interstate, running errands around town or making time on your favorite back road, the car always feels up to the task. Inside, drivers will find a restrained show of luxury, with an emphasis on comfort and involvement.
Overall, if you can afford the price of admission, the BMW 3 Series is the standard-bearer in the compact luxury-sport class. Thanks to its wonderfully balanced dynamics, powerful and efficient engine lineup and wide range of configurations, the 3 Series earns our very strong recommendation.
Over the years, BMW has offered sedan, wagon, coupe and convertible versions of the 3 Series, but later versions of the coupe and convertible are known as the 4 Series and are reviewed separately.

Give Up the Bottle and Hit the Bar
Shampoo bar inventor Mo Constantine's dislike for over-packaging was an inspiration for these clever little nuggets. Packed into just one shampoo bar is the same number of washes that you'd get from three 250g bottles of your everyday liquid shampoo, and better still, there is no need for any preservatives. But Shampoo Bars are not just a bright spark invention for planet saving, they make travelling simple. Next time you go away on holiday, be sure to pack one of these, and you won't get hassled by any grumpy security people, or have any leaks in your stow-away.
The Shampoo Bar, though, is most at home in a packed and muddy music festival, it will not only keep your hair squeaky clean but you can also use it to wash the mud out of your mucky trousers and soggy socks. Our customers have even been known to wash their pooches with them too when they decide that puddles are for sitting in. (Although officially we don't recommend this).

The handwringing about our exchange rate wrongly describes it as "over-valued". These complaints reflect ignorance of the market economy.
In a free-floating system the exchange rate by definition is never over- or under- valued; rather like all pricing it accurately reflects the ever-changing supply and demand for New Zealand dollars at any given moment. Up until March 1985, when we floated, the constant worry in the previous 80 years was our balance of payments deficits. Consequently punitive restraints kept us with a much lower standard of living than need have been.
The New Zealand Party I led in the 1984 election had as a principal policy the introduction of a floating exchange rate. Trying to explain that it would mean the end of balance of payment worries was extraordinarily difficult. It just seemed too easy. But the fact is that after the currency was floated, reference to the balance of payments disappeared, the problem no longer existing.
Russel Norman naively called for Reserve Bank intervention. Others have proposed different measures they (wrongly) believe will lower the dollar's value. What none say is what the "correct" rate should be.
All of this reflects the major problem of the market economy system, namely that it flies in the face of the understandable desire for certainty in life. As I observed in my 1996 book on our monetary policy, published by Canterbury University, no society has ever voted for the free market as its instability is contrary to human nature.
The market system has proven itself unquestionably as the best for our material welfare but it has a cost, namely ever-fluctuating prices in line with ever-changing supply and demand. That is salient to its functioning.
Recently The Listener ran a cover story on our perceived strong currency. It opened with an account of a small Auckland exporting manufacturer and his struggle to survive. Why don't we hear this whinging in Australia where the equivalent dollar and wage bill is a quarter higher?
The answer is that it's a tougher society, prepared to take the good with the bad, aware that all pricing constantly fluctuates.
Nations which tamper with their currency invariably come a cropper as the Euro debacle demonstrates. When Argentina fixed their peso to the dollar in the 1990s I bet $100 with their then Wellington Ambassador that it would end in tears. He duly forked out in 1999 but they've still not recovered from the damage, as in Europe today. There are exceptions, such as Singapore and Hong Kong, but they're massive international trade centres and can make a case for fixing their currency to the dollar. So too China, which has experienced a phenomenal transformation backed by a fixed exchange rate - but the gains are illusionary and it's my bet they will float in the near future.
Latvia has an interesting system. They tie their currency to the euro, thereby providing a degree of stability but periodically revalue as they think fit. This still results in angst by their exporters arguing it's too high and their importers that it's too low. Latvia's a well-run country and this system has enabled it to rapidly recover, after taking the biggest economic hit bar Iceland, in Northern Europe following the global financial meltdown five years ago. I was there when it reached the pits and, as always, life was still fizzing along despite the handwringing. Foolishly they talk of joining the euro soon.
There's a lot of ignorant chatter from the Greens proposing a financial transaction tax.
They see currency traders as responsible for our alleged high dollar. Currency traders fill a useful role but this is not the time to explain why. What can be said is that for them to drive our currency up by large-scale buying of New Zealand dollars will only work if they keep them.
If we could find people with enough billions who are also dumb enough to buy and hold our money - as the Greens believe is occurring - then we can all retire, our sole industry being a printing press. In fact these traders are playing a closed shop arbitraging game, often in and out in minutes, and don't affect our dollar's pricing.
Talking of foreigners buying our currency, I tried to persuade Mike Moore when he was Minister of Trade in the 1980s to introduce spectacular artwork $5 notes, knowing tourists would take them home as gifts. We would effectively be swapping coloured paper for money.
The Cook Islands have introduced $3 notes for this reason, ergo, free money. I've often been amused in primitive economy countries having to sign departure forms that I'm not taking any of their banknotes or coinage. The silly buggers should be encouraging people to do this.
What all of this says is that few folk understand money, which is logical as it's enormously complex.

Looking at the results of the recent Gymnastics World Championships, it seemed that there was very little "holding up" , making a newcomer "wait their turn", or Bloc judging. This could actually help the sport to regain its popularity that it lost after the Atlanta Olympics.
There are drawbacks to the sport. Artistry and Choreography don't semm to count for much in the COP. The sport is more injury infested than skating or even Football.
Once upon a time in Gymnastics, the event outcomes were almost as predetermined as Ice Dancing particularly the team events. Whatever countries were on the technical committee seemed to mirror World podiums. East Germany, for years, always finished 3rd in the team divisions no matter the quality of their gymnsatics. During all of those years Ellen Berger(sp?) of East Germany was president of the Technical Committee. This year Germany wasn't even a team finalist in Mens or Womens Team divisions. The same is going on in skating today. I don't think a certain Dance team would have ever been near the podium if the ISU president wasn't from the same country.
It was great that there was an all English speaking podium for the Uneven Bars. A gymnast from Brazil won the Floor Exercise Gold. Could this even happen in skating today? It would be difficult to imagine a skater or team from Belgium(randomly picked never medalled nation) coming out of nowhere to win the Gold.
I am all for letting the chips fall where they may in a given competition. It gives one less argument for skating detractors who are of the opinion that skating is not a sport. After all, if Venus or Serena Williams are having an off day do TPTB advance them to the Finals of Wimbledon based on their past achievements?
If letting the chips fall where they may might hurt skaters from countries that have always been held up well it'd be an adjustment. It seems that all of the Russian skaters get the judging benefits of SWR(Skating While Russian). The US Ladies also get some benefit(only a major meltdown or tragedy such as the 1961 plane crash has kept them off the podium), as for the most part they have almost never finished less than 3rd at Worlds or Olympics.
As it is it seems the ISU is trying to apply the worst of both worlds: A COP that encourages figure jumping and an anonymous judging system where Bloc judging can take place ith impunity.

Eight years ago, when staffers for the Democrat challenging then-Republican US Senator Lincoln Chafee groused about a supposed pro-Chafee bias within the pages of the Providence Journal, executive editor Joel P. Rawson cited the ProJo's own reporters as the best safeguard against slanted coverage. "They're too contrary, too independent, and too fiercely competitive," he told me at the time.
Rawson could have just as easily been talking about himself. Although he's hardly a household name, no one has been more influential over the past three half-and-a-half decades in shaping the identity of Rhode Island's statewide daily.
Earlier this week, Rawson, 64, told colleagues that he will be retiring, effective April 29. Considering how his career at the ProJo bridges two distinctly different eras in journalism, it would be remarkable if there aren't some bittersweet feelings when he makes that last walk out the door of the Journal Building.
In the '70s, when American newspapers were elevated by the Watergate-related heroics of Woodward and Bernstein, Rawson helped to reinvent the Providence Journal-Bulletin as a swaggering entity that exposed corruption and used innovative storytelling techniques to captivate readers. The paper grew in national stature, with a steady stream of its reporters moving on to the Wall Street Journal, Boston Globe, and other larger employers.
In 1997, the Dallas-based Belo Corporation, attracted mostly by the chance to acquire the Journal Company's more lucrative string of television stations, bought the ProJo, and a predictable series of cutbacks, including buyouts that winnowed the once-generously sized staff, continued. Over time, as it became clear that the running down of a medium-sized journalistic jewel was part of a broader upheaval in the newspaper industry, Rawson remained a forceful advocate.
"I think he cared about the newsroom in a way that not many people have," says metro columnist Bob Kerr, who credits Rawson with handing him his assignment 14 years ago. "And I think he protected it for a long time during the decline, during the decline of the paper." Kerr says it's his sense that, as autonomy of the newsroom gradually eroded, "I think he tried to keep us able to do what we do without too many outside influences. I think that's how many people will remember him."
While Rawson would have been required to retire when he turns 65 next March, one reporter, who requested anonymity, says staffers were nonetheless surprised by the news of his impending departure, since "he has been so much a part of the paper for so many years."
(In keeping with Journal management's general practice of not speaking with the Phoenix, Rawson, publisher Howard Sutton, and new media czar Tom Heslin — a possible successor for Rawson — did not return calls seeking comment.)
A Vietnam veteran, pilot, and unpublished novelist, Rawson, particularly in earlier days, was known for sometimes standing on his desk to make his point, an old-school guy who could be tough, very tough. Even in the run-up to retirement, he has retained the inclination to get fired-up about a big story.
Rawson is the sole survivor among the trio — including then-publisher Michael Metcalf (who was killed during a mysterious 1987 bicycle accident), and Charles McCorkle Hauser (who died in 2005) — that engineered the Journal-Bulletin's rise during the increasingly distant '70s. More recently, notes Kerr, in a time of diminished resources, "he made the best of what is not a good situation. God knows where we go from here."

Holiday tipping: To whom and how much?
Expert warn: Bonuses can break budgets if not planned
BEND, Ore. - The holidays are all about giving and getting, and fifth-generation etiquette expert Daniel Post warns giving shouldn't stop at what's going underneath the tree.
"I really advise that you keep your tips as one of your budgeted expenses during the holiday season," said Post.
NewsChannel 21 spoke with Post via Skype Tuesday afternoon. Post's great-grandmother, Emily Post, wrote a book on etiquette in the 1920s. Now, their family's website www.emilypost.com is frequently mentioned on the topic, for instance in an article in Kiplinger Money magazine's "Six Things to Know About tipping."
"Good manners and good tipping never go out of style," Post said.
From the mailman who drops off packages at your door to your nail tech who gives your hands a little extra sparkle, Post says there are lots of people who deserve a holiday bonus.
But there's also some who don't.
"It's always a little dangerous to be explicit about who you don't tip, but it's also very important." Post said. "There are a couple of categories of people who we don't tip, and those are salaried employees (such as doctors)."
But Post believes the line gets blurred when it comes to teachers.
"It really might not be appropriate, if they're the one grading your child," said Post. "It might not be appropriate to give them a cash gift - in fact, it probably isn't."
Cash bonuses of up to what you usually pay for a service like a haircut are appropriate and, Post says, even expected.
"If you can afford the service, you can probably afford to tip for it," said Post.
The owner of the Hair Gallery in Bend, Linda Bradley, says holiday bonuses are just a really big thank you. But she adds, that thank you can come in any form,, as she recounted a fond memory of the time a client brought her a batch of homemade rolls.
"It's things like that says that you mean more to the client than just that half-hour in her chair," Bradley said.
Other people to consider when thinking about giving around the holidays are babysitters, nannies, personal trainers, dry cleaner employees if you're a regular, handymen and dog walkers.
If you cant afford to give a holiday bonus, Post suggests writing a nice note. And if you have given a bonus in the past, but can't this year, Post says a short explanation can help ease what could be a very awkward situation.

In some religions, Mundan is also celebrated during third year of a child when his first hair cut is performed. Mundan is termed by different names in different states but this is a mandatory ritual for all Indians. Traditionally, Mundan was done for boy child only but now it is performed for girl babies also. Mundan is performed at a specified date suggested by the priest.

True, I should have updated that. The need for CO2 supplementation would still have ruled it out in this case though.
Gorgeous plant.
|It's false that UG eats baby shrimp, FYI.
"Algae isn't an issue in a DSM tank" - FALSE.
BGA can be an issue, I read after starting this one, and sure enough it is. It's not really visible unless a rock is removed, allowing access to the lower substrate, as you can see below.
Looking at the far left of the picture though, you can see regular green algae on the sand and the toothlike rock.
- leave a spot below grade where you can drain excess water. A rock is ideal for this.
- spritzing enough to keep plants moist on bare rock adds a surprising amount of water to the tank.
I foresee a Maracyn treatment once flooded to kill the BGA. Hopefully the shrimp will deal with the remaining green algae.
The first batch of MP - long strip on the bottom center - has turned dark brown and may have died. The second batch is mixed in but still okay.

|nice work with the scape
The DSM has started. On one end I created a small mound of pebbles for the fissidens geppi. Geppi grows too slowly for the chopping technique to work so I placed the individual fronds carefully and misted with water from my EI tank.
Next I chopped up some fissidens fontanus, added a little milk for extra nutrients, and covered the background.
I'll add the other mosses as they arrive. I had some extra fontanus so I added a rock from another scape temporarily. No point wasting it.
Attachment 55954
This is with a 26w cfl and a small desk lamp. No algae issues with the DSM so might as well throw the lights and nutrients at it.
The plan is to flood in late November.
Sorry for the crappy pic - the forum doesn't support my phone's full resolution.
Wow, it's been a full month since the last post. During that time I tested the rocks for TDS changes; they were mildly reactive - 30 ppm after 7 days in distilled water. They hadn't been boiled, only rinsed, so it's possible something else was dissolving. The plants were on their way, so no more time for testing until flooding. At worst it will be a neo-only tank.
Also I acquired some non-reactive gravel from Caribsea to serve as the base for mini-mosses.
I've been researching other options and decided to go with mini fissidens as the main cover and stay with mini pellia for accents and perhaps one area of notocyphus as a contrast.
The cinder gravel idea is a good one. I'm looking for something lower contrast than red lava as it tends to darken whatever covers it. I picked up a sample of paver base to test for reactivity. If it passes, it would be a good fit as it's grey and of varying small sizes, which would hopefully give the mini fissidens a textured look.
Thanks to both of you for the responses and suggestions so far.
The idea of a low-growing cover like MP and higher accents gets better the more I consider it, both for greater vertical variation and because anything over 0.5" starts drowning out the smaller rocks.
The stones are collected locally. Some were immediately reactive; most weren't. The ones you see passed the first test but I will monitor water parameters before adding anything but neos.
Thanks for the warning about notocyphus and also the tip on cinder gravel. That could work well, especially with the blend-n-spray technique, to create interesting shapes.
This project is named Compromises, one of which relates to the choices of flora. Here are some of the nano plants I considered and the reasons they didn't work:
HC - wanted but needs CO2 and high lighting
DHG belem - wrong look
HG - same
Microsword - same
Rose moss - failed to thrive in an earlier incarnation of this tank
Riccia - supposedly a major pain
Glosso - needs high light and CO2 to stay low per APC
UG - CO2, would have been ideal
|The notocyphus IME doesn't make a wonderful carpet. I'd go with a MP or xmas carpet and fissidens accents if I were you. Try dry starting the MP on cinder gravel. I'd go with a loofa or hairnet on cinders for the mosses. Those stones look like A LOT like coral. I'd be wary of using those with shrimp. I personally would replace them, but if you are sure that they are inert (test test test!), arrange them so they don't point in all one direction.
|I think those rocks are really neat, and will make a nice scape. I'd get some kind of moss to grow over their surfaces in clumps. Fissisens would look really nice. You could also get some kind of groundcover, glossostigma is very easy and would grow well in that sand. I see that you were considering frogbit, but I might go with something like broad leafed water sprite. As for shrimp selection, tigers would look really good in there, and maybe some green neos. Looks good so far!
|One criticism is that the arrangement of the rocks is too regular and seems forced. I see the point but that's how partially exposed outcroppings usually are.
"Compromises in 5g" - a shrimp scape
This will be a hardscape focused tank for shrimp intended as an exercise in minimalism and self control. I have a tendency in my other tanks to try doing too much so this will be a nice change in philosophy. Please don't be shy with comments, critiques, or suggestions.
The tank is a 5g crescent, which may offer unique challenges, and the water parameters are on the hard side - pH 7.6, dGH 8.3 - so my options are limited to neos, babaulti, and perhaps hardy tigers, plus snails or microcrabs.
Lighting is a Finnex 26w perched 12" above the PFS substrate. I don't want to use CO2, or even Excel, so a thin layer of floating plants may be necessary.
Below are pics of the planned layout while still dry, with a ruler and pen for scale.
Attachment 53803
Attachment 53804
For plants, I'm thinking of mini-pellia for rock accents and a plain of mini-fissidens, notocyphus, or possibly peacock moss in the area between the three rocks, depending on the parameters that notocyphus can tolerate. The outer ring of the tank would be bare.
How to create such a plain requires further thought. The outlines of SS squares are too symmetrical and too flat. Perhaps small loose stones held together by a hair net?
As you can see, the rocks are not that tall. Floating plants with long roots - Amazon Frogbit or Dwarf Water Lettuce - would add a vertical component and bring the shrimp into the upper level of the water column.

As First Lady, Michelle Obama has raised awareness of childhood obesity, good eating habits, and exercise. Now, she is turning her attention to education. In 2013, she launched a new campaign to increase college graduation rates among students from low-income families.
Obama is working with the U.S. Department of Education to increase the number of college graduates in the U.S. Many students who come from low-income families don't apply to, attend, or finish college. Only about half of the 2011 high school graduates from low-income families enrolled in college right after high school, which is far lower than the rate for students from high-income families.
As part of this education initiative, the First Lady visits high schools around the country and uses social media to connect with students. She speaks with the students about her education experiences while growing up in Chicago, Illinois. Obama commuted by bus for more than an hour to get to one of the city's most selective high schools.
After high school, Obama attended Princeton University and Harvard Law School. She worked at a Chicago law firm, where she met Barack Obama. In 1996, she followed in her mother's footsteps by taking a job at the University of Chicago as Associate Dean of Student Services. In January 2009, when her husband became President, she became the nation's first African-American First Lady.
Obama continues to work on other causes as well. In 2010, she started her Let's Move! Campaign to inspire kids to eat right and get in shape. This campaign is designed to combat childhood obesity. In 2011, the First Lady and Dr. Jill Biden, wife of Vice President Joe Biden, launched Joining Forces, a nationwide initiative to support military families. The campaign raises awareness about the needs of military families in the areas of employment, education, and wellness. It also encourages communities to give back to our service members and their families.
For her efforts to improve college graduate rates, decrease childhood obesity, and better the lives of military family members, Michelle Obama is a nominee for TFK's 2013 Person of the Year.

Unfortunately nobody contacted us. It would have been nice if we had known about it because you are correct that it is a good story. We might have sent a photographer. We apparently get information from another Little League in town, but not yours.
Would it be possible for you to send us the information (season record, results and information about the championship game, team member names) and a photo? It would be great to have an action shot and a team photo.
Please give us your name and daytime phone number so we can call if we have questions. You can contact Janet Pelletier at 600-0840 if you need more information.

Maybe the weekly can also cover how the team handpicked the player for political reasons rather than talent. Oh, and maybe someone can cover the infighting/backstabbing of all the mothers and fathers of these children. That's the real story of this league and team!

I drove down to San Bernardino last Friday with my 13 year old son to cheer on our Pleasanton American Little League All Stars. We arrived in time to see the Friday afternoon game against a tough Hawaii team. Jake Dronkers pitched a no hitter with one out in the 6th, only to be pulled from the game due to reaching the 85 pitch count limit. Our boys couldn't hold on to the 1-0 lead and ended up losing a heartbreaker, 2-1. We stayed to watch a very talented Nevada team beat our boys on Sunday.
Go to www.sbsun.com/littleleague for great coverage. You can also pick up an internet broadcast of all the games. PALL plays again Friday, at 4pm, verses Hawaii - a rematch!
Below are notes from Mr. Ron Dronkers, the father of Jake Dronkers.

Ron Dronkers
Our last of 4 guaranteed pool games was scheduled for 12:30 today. Probably the hottest day of the tournament so far, everyone was trying to squeeze in under the small strip of shade cloth erected for the family section. Today's opponent was the Arizona State champions who have advanced to the semi's every season since 1996...well at least that was the rumor. On this day they entered the stadium 0-2.
Jake (Dronkers) started us off with a bang getting the first two batters out on strikes. However, one huge difference in Regional play has been the incredibly shrinking strike zone. Per the official umpires' guide book for the tournament, the strike zone is no wider than home plate and extends from the batter's armpits to his knees. In comparison to the regular-season zone, Jake described this as trying to throw the ball through a postage stamp. The next two batters were walked with Jake shaking his head in disbelief. He gathered himself on the next batter and struck him out to retire the side.
The top of the 2nd gave Jake his worst inning in the post season so far. With the squeezed-down strike zone seeming to shrink even more in the heat, Jake allowed 3 runs with 36 pitches before getting the 3rd out. But his "PALL's" came back to rally with their bats. Jakob Wipfli hit his first home run in SBD, then with bases loaded Ryan Anderson managed a hard hit single to score another; Brian Hsu hit a line drive to left to score two more. With 2 out, Chase Hennings successfully stretched a single into a double to score another pair to pull Nor Cal ahead 6 to 3.
In the bottom of 3, our hitters continued slugging. Kyle Greenan led off with a single, then TJ Freidl followed with a grounder back to the pitcher, but his throw to 2nd caused the baseman to pull his foot. Anderson hit into a fielder's choice to force Kyle at 3rd; Piscotty followed with a line drive past 3rd base and down the foul line all the way to the pole for an RBI scoring Anderson.
Arizona scored one more in the 4th before Dronkers retired on his pitch limit, with Anderson coming in for the long save.
In the bottom of the 5th, PALL managed an insurance run on some tricky base running from Hsu. Having reached 1st on a fielder's choice, Brian was taking an unusually long lead after each pitch enticing the Arizona catcher for a throw. By the 3rd pitch the catcher finally had enough of Brian and launched a ball so hard past his first baseman it looked like a line drive to the foul pole. Even though Brian had dove back head-first into the dirt, he managed to get up and ran all the way home sliding in under the late tag for our 8th run.
Anderson needing only 3 outs for the save got the lead-off out on a grounder, but then gave up 2 consecutive singles and a wild pitch allowing an Arizona run. Ryan took a deep breath and struck out the next batter, walked one more then bore down and wiffed 3 past the last batter for the game-ending strikeout and a huge sigh of relief from the PALL families.
Game Notes: Nick Goldstein took one for the team by getting beaned in the helmet, while Wip took one square between the shoulders. Also a collective "OOH" from the crowd when a high pop-up behind the mound off of Hennings' bat saw the pitcher, shortstop and 2nd baseman converging on the dropping ball with any one of them capable of making the easy catch, but each of them assuming the other was going to do the deed and the entire stadium watched the ball thud into the exact center of their little circle for an infield single.

School holds sleepover for stranded students
RUSH, Colo. - Miami-Yoder school opened its doors to stranded students overnight after road conditions made it impossible for school buses and parents to get students home.
Around 70 students spent the night at school. The school's assistant principal and athletics director, Howard Disney, said teachers had to get "creative" to ensure the students were as comfortable as possible. Teachers pulled out football jerseys for students to wear and cold weather football jackets to use as blankets.
Elementary school students slept in the preschool. Middle school and high school girls slept in a classroom. Middle school and high school boys slept on wrestling mats in the cafeteria.
"We were hoping to get them out in time before the full brunt of the storm had hit, unfortunately, it was a fast moving storm. We did not predict its intensity to be what it was," said Disney.
Yoder resident Audrey Hacker picked up her grandsons and niece early Wednesday morning. Hacker described Tuesday evening's white-out conditions as treacherous and scary.
"Where I live right on Highway 94, I knew it was going to be a lost cause because we couldn't even see Highway 94 from the front door," said Hacker.
She said at times she couldn't see past the hood of her car on the road.
The school district's transportation director said this is the first time driving conditions have made students spend the night at school.
"Our northern bus routes didn't get too far and it was white-out conditions, so they did the right thing and brought those kids back," said Disney.
Miami-Yoder eighth-grader Charlene Madden was on one of the buses that turned back.
"You really couldn't see anything, it was really scary. And we almost hit a bus actually because we couldn't see it until we got really close up to it," said Madden. "When we turned back we were actually kind of grateful because it was really scary driving home."
Madden's dad tried to pick her up from school but got stranded in a parking lot on Highway 94. He said he's used to these conditions and always makes it to school to pick up Madden. He was relieved to know his daughter was safe and off the roads.
"We were thankful that the school was there and fed them and gave them somewhere safe. We knew they weren't going to go anywhere and we knew where they could be first thing in the morning," said Corey Madden.
Hacker said her grandsons and niece enjoyed their night at school.
"One of them is still waking up, he slept in this morning. The other two were like, 'we had a big slumber party. It was fun, can we go home now?'" said Hacker.
Disney said the students were well-behaved. He said the school was well-prepared so children slept comfortably and were well-fed.
Madden said she was dreading spending the night in school. However, she said it turned out to be fun.
"We slept for about an hour but the rest of the time it was like a slumber party," said Madden. "It was way more fun than any of us expected it to be."
