Ripoff Report
Linebarger, Goggan, Blair & Sampson, LLP, San Antonio, TX900 Arion Parkway, Suite104 San Antonio, Texas USA
Linebarger, Goggan, Blair & Sampson, LLP, San Antonio, Texas Sent a Warrant Notification. San Antonio Texas
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
A Warrant Notification was sent to me from this collection agency working for Cameron County, TX. claiming I had an alleged seat belt citation issued 17 February 2009. And that I was the driver. The claim is that a DPS Trooper issued this alleged citation to me, per a Texas ID Card Number having it listed as a Texas Driver's License number, on 17 February 2009.
The wording of the Warrant notification is this. "A Warrant has been issued for your arrest, any peace officer may serve this Warrant at any time."
However, I have been faxing off and on to all involved in Cameron County, TX that I haven't driven an automobile since 1991, nor have I had a driver's license since that date too, nor have I have been to Brownsville, Cameron County, TX.
Received a notice from an Attorney at Law via their Austin, TX office via my complaint filed against them with the Consumer Protection Financial Bureau (CFPB) and this attorney's letter stated "The complaint claims that you have never been to Cameron County, TX, However included in the letter are these words too: that is not your obligation. The misuse of the expired Texas ID as being a Texas Driver's License along with the alleged warrant issued for my arrest, was never addressed by their Austin, TX office.
The problem is how can I be charged for driving with a Texas ID Card that expired in June 2007 and the DPS Trooper not know that by doing a NCIC check. I had three NCIC/GCIC done by my local police department, Sandy Springs, GA, one by the U S Marshall in Atlanta, GA, and one by the Atlanta , GA Police Department Fugitive Squad in September of 2011 and no warrant had been issued for my arrest per this false-manufactured citation. Involving me allegedly to have been driving "Driver Not Secured by Seatbelt." If that is true which it wasn't, then why wasn't there any charges dealing with this individual allegedly driving without an official Texas Driver's License?
All of us need to contact our U S Elected officials about his collection agency, including the CFPB, The FTC and any other source that can hold them accountable for their mistreatment of so many U S Citizens. It is time for Linebarger, Goggan, Blair & Sampson, LLP, San Antonio, TX to compensate all who have been impacted in a negative manner by them. I have lost ime, money and agonized over this because their involvement with Cameron County, TX, the DPS Trooper, is from my perspective criminal.
Please, everyone contact the CFPB on these people. Thank you for reading my complaint. And please forgive me for the mispelled words.
They ask me to send in $239.20 for the payment which I didn't to a then deceased DA, in their letter to me on 25 August 2011. He died in April 2011.

It's difficult to focus on tragedy, but after many fatal car accidents in Freedom, Wis., over the years, Freedom FFA members decided to create a Mock Crash to educate the student body about the dangers of drinking and driving.
The event was held just prior to prom and graduation, so students would have the lesson fresh in their minds.
Working in cooperation with 10 local emergency response teams, the mock crash was conducted on May 5, 2009, in the parking lot at Freedom High School. More than 500 high school and community members were there to witness the "crash."
Freedom High School students learned that it only takes a second for people's lives to be changed forever. The emergency response team made a presentation to warn students of the perils of drunk driving, and a convicted drunk driver spoke of once killing a mother and two young children. Shocked and saddened, the students of Freedom High School got the message. The good news? There were no driving accidents during prom or graduation.
Freedom FFA was a finalist in the 2010 National Chapter Models of Innovation award program in the area of Student Development.

text: I haven't read this thread but the skating world is small, elite, getting smaller. Everyone is fake nice on TV on their jobs. It is especially good to be loved and get higher scores. Look at Alissa. Everyone loves her sweetness and beauty-enough to wish her a spot on this next Oly team. Anyone remember Amber Corwin? She did a 3x3 in all her Sp/s. Not pretty enough. In FS, personality means a lot. No one liked Nagasu's childish manner after age 18 or so. And nancy was skewered for being real-being herself for a couple silly comments. And Tonya was trailer trash in FS circles and many thought she was a PR disaster long before her knee whacking associates popped up. Personality plus beauty equal points esp for females. Off ice behavior is scrutinized. I hate it but that is part of the game in FS. Esp the women. Chan and Moir can get away with oafish comments and have. If Kaetlyn talked smack about say YuNa kim, she'd be royalled skewered and maybe lose her next comp. by too many points.

This Guest House is a very nice place to stay. our rooms are like dorm rooms. Two twin beds, no TV or telephone. Breakfast is some style of egg, toast, banana and tea, NO COFFEE!! However, thanks to Starbucks for those little instant packs that a few members of the team brought along. We share the food items that we brought along from home.
Tengra is a section of Kolkata. It used to be all leather factories. The government made the companies close down due to the poisonous chemicals used in the processing of leather. I believe they moved the factories and their toxins elsewhere. I arrived today and as usual Stanley came in around 9:30 and so did Krishna. We did a Bible Study (wonder if I can get my boss to lead us in Bible study before we start work. Just kidding Karen.) and then I worked with Krishna and Mrs. Saha. Krishna finished his feather and fan cloth. I have a picture. He was really happy to see what he had produced. He has already started helping out with the new people who join in, it's really great to see this. Three ladies, Tula, Juma & Poorhima, from the rag picker section came in also. Anita, another teacher returned also. I try to speak a little Bengali. When I tell them to do a whole row in knit, I heard others say pooro so I would say "knit pooro" and they would start to giggle and say "Mame said pooro". I'm not sure how to pronounce it correctly and they won;t tell me because they enjoy giggling at me - especially Tula. Tula is very quick

Apple provides a complete suite of core OS X apps for the newbie and the casual Mac user. Apps like Mail, iCal, Contacts, TextEdit, Time Machine and Safari have a specific, simplistic design philosophy. However, if you're a more experienced Mac user, it may be time to ask yourself why you're still using these beginner apps.
Experienced Mac users have long realized that Apple designs its core OS X utilities to be simple, intuitive and approachable. That's because, out of the box, the Mac must always present itself as fun and easy to use. That almost ensures that, except for bug fixes, essential technical advances and minor refinements, the OS X utility apps remain almost frozen in time.
This is in contrast to paid apps which must continue to evolve and remain competitive or else the developer's cash flow dries up. It's a tradition in the software industry that solid, advancing apps continue to evolve and add value so that major, paid updates make sense to the customer.
For example, I long ago gave up on the idea that Apple wanted to develop its Mail app into a serious, capable and highly customizable professional application. With each new release of OS X, from Leopard to Snow Leopard to Lion, Mountain Lion and now Mavericks, it's clear that Mail will never really grow up. It must, by necessity, remain the lowest common denominator, the easy-to-use email app for the Macintosh newbie and casual user.
And so, if you are still using these apps, and vaguely feel that they are wanting, it may be time to move on. Years ago, I went through the same process. Here are my own thoughts -- which are fundamentally opinions, but the opinion of a user who has been using Macs since day one in 1984. As such, this article isn't about a detailed critique of each Apple app; rather, it's more of a personal travelogue.
1. Cal. Years ago, I gave up on iCal. And so I was happy to become a beta tester for BusyMac's BusyCal, and grew to appreciate its power and flexibility. I won't go into detail because I said it all in my review a few years ago. "BusyCal 1.0: It's About Time." Since then, BusyCal has kept up with the times and technology and gotten better and better.
BusyCal (Image credit: BusyMac)
BusyCal reads and writes to the same database as iCal, so you can seamlessly switch back and forth -- if you need to. This is not just an OS utility given away. BusyCal is a great app.
2. Contacts. I've signed up to be a beta tester for a new product from BusyMac, called BusyContacts. I expect that this new app will provide the same power, sharing and flexibility as its BusyCal brother. I am looking forward to dropping Apple's Contacts dead in its tracks.
BusyContacts, beta. (Image credit: BusyMac)
Again, Apple's Contacts app is great if one has modest number of entries, and they aren't very complex. In my case, with 1,025 cards in the database, the lack of flexibility and minor irritants, such as the restricted size of the photo, limited fields in the address template, and the removal of local sync (since returned) have annoyed me. Time to move on.
3. TextEdit. This app has been virtually frozen in time for many years. The only time I use it is when I need to inspect a Microsoft Word document on a Mac that doesn't have the Office suite. The awkwardness of how it handles the option for either .rtf or .txt has never been addressed. This app is just there as a place holder, sort of like the "vi" editor in UNIX.
While there are many fine text editor replacements for OS X, detailing them all is beyond the scope of this article. My long time favorite is BBEdit by Bare Bones Software, the finest text editor on the planet, and that includes Windows. If you don't have BBEdit on your Mac as your standard text editor, you should consider investing in it. I have never looked back.
4. Safari. Apple's default browser is a fine app, but it does tend to simplify things in a world that's a dangerous place to roam. I've said it before: Apple's philosophy appears (to me) to be that confronting the user with the possible perils of the Internet and providing options, complicated and scary as they may be, has never been in line with Apple's desire to 1) Create a happy experience and 2) Attend to security in the background for the user's own good. Corporate agenda is always lurking.
I, on the other hand, have always appreciated the explicit commitment Mozilla has made to the user's privacy and security. Mozilla doesn't sell computers like Apple and the organization has no agenda other than to make the best possible, most secure browser with rapid, automatic updates. As such, years ago, I made Firefox my primary browser, and I've never regretted it. I especially appreciate keeping the URL and search bar separate.
I avoid Chrome for similar philosophical reasons.
5. iPhoto. This is a very subjective area for me. iPhoto is a fine app, suitable for all things related to a person's or family's photo life. However, I have heard far too many horror stories about disasters with complex iPhoto libraries to commit to it. Very large databases don't seem to be its forte, from what I've heard, and so I've steered away over the years. I'm happy with that decision.
iPhoto (Image credit: Apple)
I trust the Finder, more or less, to keep track of my photos, and so I have a folder/directory for each event and I leave it at that. If I need to create a print album or a slide show, I can extract the photos I need and do something special. iPhoto is supposed to make things easier and cool, but my philosophy has always been that life is too short to attend to thousands of photos with endless housekeeping, annotations and the risk that an app bug could cast me into a nightmare experience.
This app, iPhoto, is designed to sell Macs, but I'm not sold on it.

Hot Dog Cake
by Bernadette Robinson
(London, Ontario, Canada)
A Hot Dog Cake to please any Hot Dog Lover
This Hot Dog Cake was baked in a bread loaf pan and then sliced down the center with the corners rounded out.
I covered the whole thing with home made fondant (colored beige) and then formed the wiener out of the left over fondant and lay it in the center. With the back of a butter knife I pressed in the grill lines on the bun and the tie lines on the end of the wieners.
Mixing Wilton food color paste with a small bit of margarine I hand painted the wiener. Mixing food color paste and water I brushed color along the sides of the 'bun' to give it a toasted color.
The ketchup and mustard are just piped buttercream. This cake cut approximately 30 slices and was a huge hit.

Pakistan to pursue treason case
ISLAMABAD — Pakistan's government said Sunday that it was initiating a treason prosecution of the country's former ruler, Gen. Pervez Musharraf, in what would be a groundbreaking if politically charged assertion of civilian supremacy over the powerful Pakistani military.
Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan said that the government had asked the Supreme Court to establish a special panel to try Musharraf on accusations that he subverted the constitution in late 2007 when he imposed emergency rule and fired much of the judiciary.
The military has ruled Pakistan for about half of the country's 66-year history, and no ruler or top military commander had ever been held to account by a court until Musharraf's return from exile in April.
Since then, he has faced criminal prosecution in four cases related to his time in power.
But a treason prosecution would sharply raise the stakes between civilian and military leaders — the charge carries a potential death penalty — and, analysts warned Sunday, could cast the country into new political turmoil.
"It is a can of worms," said Talat Masood, a retired general and respected political commentator. "It is really absurd."
The decision to proceed against Musharraf comes at a tough time for Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, whose government is facing increasing scrutiny for its handling of the economy, foreign relations and security. And personally, Sharif, who is visiting Thailand, has been criticized for his frequent foreign tours even as Pakistan has faced struggle after struggle.
On Friday, at least nine people were killed and 50 were wounded in Rawalpindi, the garrison city next to the capital, as sectarian riots broke out between Shiite and Sunni groups.
The violence led the government to clamp a two-day curfew on the city, suspend mobile phone services and bring out troops in several other cities to quell tensions.
And relations with the United States are under strain over accusations that a U.S. drone strike that killed Taliban leader Hakimullah Mehsud sabotaged nascent peace talks with the Pakistani Taliban.
With such a turbulent political environment as a backdrop, the sudden announcement of treason charges brought immediate questions and criticism.
"What we saw today was a political decision," said Fahd Hussain, the director of news at Express News television network. "It was important for Nawaz Sharif to be seen to deliver on his past pledges."
What seems clear, at least, is that Sharif's government wanted to prevent Musharraf from slipping out of Pakistan into exile. Musharraf, a former army chief, had been under house arrest at his villa outside Islamabad until earlier this month, when he was released on bail on all cases and later requested permission to go to Dubai to visit his mother.
Lawyers for Musharraf are due to make a court application today to have him taken off an official list that prevents him from leaving Pakistan. A treason prosecution would result in new restrictions on Musharraf's movements, although it remains unclear how quickly the Supreme Court would move today.
In a statement on Sunday, Musharraf's office described the treason charges as a "vicious attempt to undermine the Pakistan military" and a "botched attempt" to divert attention from the country's other problems.
Babar Sattar, a lawyer and columnist with the English-language daily Dawn, said that Sharif appeared to be betting that the army would not stop the judiciary from trying Musharraf in open court.
"I think Nawaz realizes that Musharraf is a bygone for the army," he said. "He wants to fix him but does not want to give an impression that it is revenge."
Musharraf's supporters say the law is being applied selectively, pointing out that many senior justices, including the country's crusading chief justice, Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry, validated the 1999 coup that brought the military ruler to power. Chaudhry was among the judges fired by Musharraf during the state of emergency, and later became a rallying point for opposition to the former general's rule.

PS I have added extra entries of the whole journey once home when uploading the photos / videos of this wonderful 2 month in Africa.
Brother Tim flew in from London and we have a week together in southern South Africa.
Today was Capetown Day. Don't try and climb Table Mountain in the morning (just 1.25 hours up and 1.5 hours down .... oh the knees and toes) and then climb the steps up to Cape Point lighthouse in the afternoon on the same day ... Both done and hopefully tomorrow my muscles won't be that sore as they are now.
Glad I have done both things ... now onwards towards the Garden Route with brother Tim tomorrow after a visit to Robben Island at 9 am.
But a surprise is installed for us tomorrow am.

Stocks continued to hold small gains Thursday afternoon, with the tech-heavy Nasdaq in the lead.
Boosted by Internet and software issues, the Nasdaq climbed 0.4%. The Dow Jones industrial average and the S&P 500 edged up 0.3% each. But volume continued to track lower across the board in the stock market today.
Retail stocks were among some of Thursday's biggest winners.
November new issue Zulily (ZU) bolted 14% to an all-time high. Shares surged 36% Tuesday in reaction to blowout quarterly earnings Monday. Zulily, a flash-sale online retailer, gapped well above a 43.91 buy point from a double-bottom base Tuesday.
Fellow online retailer RetailMeNot (SALE) rallied 5% to a record high. The stock has now rallied 20% past a 39.60 buy point from a cup base, triggering IBD's key eight-week hold rule. RetailMeNot is a Leaderboard stock.
Elsewhere, FleetCor Technologies (FLT) eased from a fresh record high, but still rose 2% in fast trade. The stock cleared a 124.06 buy point from a cup-without-handle base Monday.

This is a brand new product from Lucy Minerals and is currently only available in one shade, Peppermint Patty. The consistency of this balm is exceptional. Buttery, way more moisturizing and glossy than other lip "shimmers". My only issue is that the only current color is incredibly pale and frosted, which to me only works if you're going for a 1980s or Jersey Shore look. I am pale myself (Fair in this brand foundation) and it still looks deathly pale on my lips.
I look forward to this coming out in deeper shades; until then, maybe I'll just layer this over deeper lip stains.
The product itself I give a 5... once they expand color selection.

This comment may contain spoilers!Short, but very very sweet.
I don't know, when a story ends, I usually can forgive many stuff (and the game did have some bad bugs). And yeah, it did give me a sensation of accomplishment at the end and some good laughs!
Of course, people will start making theories about this and that and probably analyse everything, but I really enjoyed it.
[spoiler]It's a good thing a pink Delorean didn't appear with a kinky Marty in it [/spoiler]
This comment may contain spoilers!That episode was strange. But those [spoiler]Marty Clones[/spoiler] were hilarious.
I really wonder if they will make a Part 2. Also i loved the BTTF 1 style ending.
This comment may contain spoilers!Okay, could someone please explain to me...
[spoiler]...from where the hell did Doc and the DeLorean come from?!
And why the hell did Edna's DeLorean implode?![/spoiler]
Having anything even approaching standards with regards to adaptations of a work you enjoy is nothing even close to "not being a fan".Immamoonkin;518392 said:I can only imagine that the people complaining about every little detail of this game weren't true BTTF fans.
It was a good episode with some good fun twists in it and having Michael J Fox playing 4 characters (if you count the three Marty clones separate characters) in the episode was a real bonus too plus the 'To Be Continued...' caption at the end which I hope means they will do a second season
And, in my honest opinion, they haven't done anything that would come close to not being a great adaption to the movie. I felt like I was watching a 4th movie. All the twists and such were planned perfectly.Rather Dashing;518419 said:Having anything even approaching standards with regards to adaptations of a work you enjoy is nothing even close to "not being a fan".

Review Delaware State University
This school has the WORST administration that I have ever seen. The application process was easy, but I was given out-of-state tuition even though I was supposed to have in-state. The application for scholarships was closed off to me because the financial aid office never created an account for me, and when I emailed the office and talked to them in person, they said they would contact me soon and they never did, so I could not apply for scholarships. I petitioned some of my transfer credits and had them approved as actual course, but they are still wrong on my transcript. The smart boards often didn't connect, there was no working air or heat in the building that my classes were held, and we had almost no lab equipment. Some professors gave off the vibe that they really did not care about your education, taught straight off PowerPoint slides and gave exams that were more in-depth than the material that was taught, which was discouraging for someone who wants to actually learn.
I love everything my college have to provide as far as classes, organizations and campaign season. My school taught me about myself and allow me to step out my comfort zone and explore new challenges. My school gave me the courage to run for political positions and even start my own organization on campus. Delaware State give you a voice and help start your career early. My school encourage students to uplift each other. The organizations on campus allows students to be who they are and to also meet new people and feed off each other energy. Delaware State also encourage students to dress professional on certain days. This gives students a chance to prepare for their careers. If I was given an chance to choose a different school, I would not take it.
Attending Delaware State University you get to really know your fellow student body. DSU is very student ran with over seers to make sure everything is conducted swiftly and efficiently. My current major is electrical engineering which is a math bases major. The school provides free tutors to help out with any subject a student could have problems in. Professors are able and will to help out a student willing to learn. The only change I would want to see is better food options in the cafe. Other then that, I am proud to be a Delaware State Hornet.

Privacy hearing: The Senate Commerce Committee will hold a hearing to examine the Obama administration's plan to protect online privacy, as well as the privacy report issued by the Federal Trade Commission.
In a statement, Sen. Jay Rockefeller said that he hopes "to have a robust discussion on how the Administration and FTC propose to empower Americans so that they can say if, when, and how their information is collected and used."
The House Commerce committee held its own hearing on the Obama administration guidelines in March.
Facebook roadshow: Facebook is now expected to make its market debut in mid-May, pending the approval of its S-1 documents from the Securities and Exchange Commission. The company had been expected to begin trading on the NASDAQ in the spring, but recent reports had indicated the social network would wait until the summer.
But a report late Tuesday from The Wall Street Journal cited "unnamed sources" who said that the company would begin its roadshow pitch on Monday.
Facebook declined to comment on the reports.
FCC extends Verizon-cable deal review: The Federal Communications Commission on Tuesday delayed its review of Verizon's $3.6 billion bid for airwaves from cable companies, saying the investigation is being held back because the companies were late in submitting requested paperwork, The Washington Post reported.
The delay, which appeared procedural, will stop what is known as an informal 180-days "shot clock" by three weeks, the FCC said in an order.
The delay puts back Verizon's ambition to close its deal by the middle of July. The company is bidding for AWS spectrum from Comcast, Bright House, Cox and Time Warner Cable it wants to use to beef up its LTE 4G network.
Mozilla pans CISPA: Mozilla has come out against the controversial Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act, breaking with the larger tech industry to oppose the measures. The bill is intended to make it easier for private companies to share cyber threat information with the government, but has gathered criticism from the White House and privacy advocates who worry it has the potential to violate civil liberties.
Mozilla, which was also vocal in the fight against the Stop Online Piracy Act and the Protect IP (Intellectual Property) Act, told Forbes that it opposes the bill because it "includes vague definitions of cybersecurity and grants immunities to companies and government that are too broad around information misuse."
Nokia sues competitors: Nokia struck out at its competitors Wednesday, announcing a handful of patent suits leveled against HTC, Research in Motion and ViewSonic in the United States and Germany.
The company said that the lawsuits cover 45 patents that deal with several important cellphone technologies.
Louise Pentland, chief legal officer at Nokia indicated in a statement that licensing fees are the eventual aim of the company's cases. "We have already licensed our standards essential patents to more than 40 companies. Though we'd prefer to avoid litigation, Nokia had to file these actions to end the unauthorized use of our proprietary innovations and technologies, which have not been widely licensed," she said in a statement.

If one looks deeply into the societies and cultures around the world for something common, an element shared by all, legally or illegally, clear or ambiguous would be gambling in some form or the other. Gambling is risking a high amount of money or some valuable personals in the hope that they would be doubled or that the gambler would gain monetarily from it. A game of chance through and through, where the results are not sure, either lose or win but a person cannot be sure what would be the result. Gambling has infiltrated nearly all the walks of life, clubs, casinos, lotteries, office pools, normal betting and gambling amongst friends, Carnivals and of course sports.
Types of Gambling:
Over the time gambling has diversified into different branches and types of which at first the casino gambling was the most famous and sought after, with card and table games, as well as the slot machines and Bingo. Las Vegas is a name known to all, gambler or not, it is the biggest spot for all types of gambling and has the largest collections of casinos. The second type is the non casino gambling which can be further segmented even further; Card games, mahjong, Carnival games and tricks, coin tossing and the lotteries. The last types, that of lotteries is sometimes not even counted as gambling in countries where it is forbidden, there are hundreds of types of lotteries and even if people chose to ignore the fact it is one of the most common type of gambling. In today's age and time the online gambling has become a huge and profitable industry, keeping in mind the easy access and the relaxed mode of play. Finally we come to the sports gambling, in other words betting more or less a house hold term now.

Sports and Gambling:
Sports, something men have always associated with and women are increasingly becoming part of, as players and competitors as well as spectators. Every person either young, middle aged or old has one or more favorite games which they like to indulge in or just watch, of which football/Soccer, baseball and horse riding have made a bigger mark on the lives of the spectators than the other versions of sports. When we talk of sports gambling or betting the first sport that comes to mind is horse racing, for betting and racing have walked the planks of time together, have flourished, changed and evolved simultaneously, horse riding has gained and burgeoned more or less due to the betting practice that is so common in all races.
There are two elements necessary for sports betting, calculating the odds, and the bookmakers, the odds represent how much a bettor would stand to gain if his bet pays off, while the bookmaker is the connection between the bettor and the game, event or sport. Odds are popularly of four types of which the decimal odds represent the British betting system, while the American odds as guessed by the name is an American invention, two other odds are the fractional and the horse odds. Betting systems and selections as well as tips are becoming a common practice which helps the bettor to place intelligent and winning bets.
Horse Racing:
With a long and intricate history, horse racing has developed into the high profile spectator sport that it is today, the history starting thousands of years ago, with different types of races which have changed and evolved over the centuries. The thoroughbreds and the thoroughbred races took shape in the 12th century in England and after that at first formally and later professionally the races started taking root in the English society. The first Jockey Club was established and the increasing number of races was monitored and rules were formulated, the breeds were recorded. After that there was no stopping the sport from spreading across to other nations regions and countries, starting with Australia and recently making its mark in Japan and Dubai.
Horse breeders, trainers and the jockeys, these are the most important constituents of the horse races, of course without the horses there would be no races at all. The breeders over the long years have devised ways and methods to ensure that they can breed more and more winning thoroughbreds, the breeding industry and practice flourishing by the day. As for the trainers, they are the ones to understand and prepare the horses for the races, they know their short comings and their best abilities as well as the qualities inherent in the horses, and they play on these qualities, polish them and train the horses for the ultimate races. Finally we have the jockeys, the people who have to lead the horses to the race tracks and take charge there, they know when to slow and when to speed their horses and their love and passion for riding helps them all the way through.
Racing Selections:
Online betting, online bookies even online horse racing sites, they have been gaining importance of late. There are several sites that give full information about every race that is to take place in Australia and around the globe, others where odds are calculated and the people are given the best selections, who would win, who has been racing well, the best jockey to lead the horse, the best horse in the last events, the one who is likely to place, the odds against and for the horses all this and more by the handicappers, who know the most about the races they help the people through these systems. The selections give pointers on how to pick winners or who to bet on, which races are the best bets etc. It doesn't matter where you live or what type of wager you wish to place, chances are you will find an online bookmaker taking bets upon it.

About STRN
In June 2009, a group of scientists organized a 1st International Conference on Sustainability Transitions in Amsterdam. Presenters came not only from all over Europe but also from US, Asia and Australia with some 100 papers being presented on a broad range of aspects of the governance and scientific analysis of sustainability transitions. The success of the conference confirmed that there is now a critical mass of researchers in Europe and beyond who are actively working on various aspects of sustainability transitions. A networking meeting held directly after the conference agreed to pursue the objective of setting up a networking programme for research on sustainability transitions. This development can be seen as part of a broader trend within the research community that is leading to the exploration of the contours of a new science of sustainability.
Why transitions research?
The emergence of persistent sustainability problems in such sectors as energy, transport, water and food have turned the attention of scholars from various scientific communities to the ways in which society could combine economic and social development with the reduction of its pressure on the environment. A shared idea among these scholars is that due to the specific characteristics of the sustainability problems (ambiguous, complex) incremental change in prevailing systems will not suffice. There is a need for transformative change at the systems level, including major changes in production, consumption that were conceptualized as 'sustainability transitions'.
What is transitions research?
Transitions research is a new approach to sustainable development (SD) and is drawing on several inputs: complexity theory, integrated assessment, STS, innovation studies, history, governance studies, reflexive modernization, but is also developing its own core set of questions and theories. Major research efforts of a number of European research institutes in recent years have advanced knowledge of transitions to sustainability, particularly in the field of a broad understanding of how major, radical transformations unfold and what drives them. We have learned that change involves more than technology alone. Rather, technical changes need to be seen in their institutional and social context, generating the notion of 'socio-technical (s-t) systems', which are often stable and path dependent, and therefore difficult to change. Under certain conditions and over time, the relationships within s-t systems can become reconfigured and replaced in a process that may be called a system innovation or a transition.
Why a new network?
In recent years a number of national-level research programs and research networks have been set-up in various European countries (e.g., the KSI research network on system innovations in the Netherlands). As the findings of the first national-level research projects start to emerge in some countries, and new research is initiated in others, the time is right to begin a process of exchanging and comparing the new knowledge that is being rapidly gained in this emerging science of sustainable development building on some initial steps taken on this route. Transitions to sustainability may turn out to be strongly context specific: dependent on the configurations of sectors and need areas, on national policy contexts and cultural aspects as well as on specific political contexts. It is therefore of great interest to explore the varied governance challenges that transitions to sustainability imply in different contexts. This is going to require an extensive program of joint research initiatives on sustainability transitions in the coming years. To realise this ambition, a networking capacity will be required that can: facilitate exchange and mutual learning, support the emerging community of researchers working on sustainability transitions, facilitate an interface with the policy process and practitioners at regional and European levels, and identify and secure resources for joint research initiatives. In brief then, this is the rationale for a new research network on sustainability transitions.
In Europe, many fields of research, such as innovation and governance research already have well-established networks. What is currently missing however is a network program that brings together researchers with a common interest in sustainability transitions but from a variety of different research fields: industrial transformation, innovation and socio-technical transitions; integrated assessment; sustainability assessment; governance of SD (political science); policy appraisal community; researchers working on reflexive governance; the resilience community; the ecological economics community; groups of energy-, environment- and sustainability- modelers; and a core sustainability transitions community.
What type of topics does the network covers?
The network aims to do sustainability transitions research covering a variety of domains including energy, mobility, housing, agriculture, water and the build environment. Research is organized around seven themes: (a) synthesizing perspectives and approaches to transitions; (b) governance, power and politics; (c) implementation strategies; (d) civil society, culture and social movements in transitions; (d) firms and industry; (e) geography of transitions; (e) modeling of transitions. More information about these themes can be found in the research agenda.
How do you become a member?
Membership to the network is free. You can apply for membership here.

text: Pregnancy is a lot more interactive process which requires many mothers to organize their chores accordingly so that in the long run they are able to sustain safely their pregnancies until deliveries. Other activities will not be avoided and mothers are supposed to be careful to their movements as they form part of the daily exercises in life so that such may not compromise with the baby development. Different pregnancy dates or periods require varying amounts of attention and so mothers are supposed to be careful not to overindulge in unnecessary activities.

Confessions of an English Opium-Eater HTML version
that down to a certain point it can be reduced with ease and even pleasure, but
that after that point further reduction causes intense suffering. Yes, say many
thoughtless persons, who know not what they are talking of, you will suffer a little
low spirits and dejection for a few days. I answer, no; there is nothing like low
spirits; on the contrary, the mere animal spirits are uncommonly raised: the pulse
is improved: the health is better. It is not there that the suffering lies. It has no
resemblance to the sufferings caused by renouncing wine. It is a state of
unutterable irritation of stomach (which surely is not much like dejection),
accompanied by intense perspirations, and feelings such as I shall not attempt to
describe without more space at my command.
I shall now enter in medias res, and shall anticipate, from a time when my opium
pains might be said to be at their acme, an account of their palsying effects on
the intellectual faculties.
My studies have now been long interrupted. I cannot read to myself with any
pleasure, hardly with a moment's endurance. Yet I read aloud sometimes for the
pleasure of others, because reading is an accomplishment of mine, and, in the
slang use of the word "accomplishment" as a superficial and ornamental
attainment, almost the only one I possess; and formerly, if I had any vanity at all
connected with any endowment or attainment of mine, it was with this, for I had
observed that no accomplishment was so rare. Players are the worst readers of
all: --reads vilely; and Mrs. -, who is so celebrated, can read nothing well but
dramatic compositions: Milton she cannot read sufferably. People in general
either read poetry without any passion at all, or else overstep the modesty of
nature, and read not like scholars. Of late, if I have felt moved by anything it has
been by the grand lamentations of Samson Agonistes, or the great harmonies of
the Satanic speeches in Paradise Regained, when read aloud by myself. A
young lady sometimes comes and drinks tea with us: at her request and M.'s, I
now and then read W-'s poems to them. (W., by-the-bye is the only poet I ever
met who could read his own verses: often indeed he reads admirably.)
For nearly two years I believe that I read no book, but one; and I owe it to the
author, in discharge of a great debt of gratitude, to mention what that was. The
sublimer and more passionate poets I still read, as I have said, by snatches, and
occasionally. But my proper vocation, as I well know, was the exercise of the
analytic understanding. Now, for the most part analytic studies are continuous,
and not to be pursued by fits and starts, or fragmentary efforts. Mathematics, for
instance, intellectual philosophy, &c,, were all become insupportable to me; I
shrunk from them with a sense of powerless and infantine feebleness that gave
me an anguish the greater from remembering the time when I grappled with them
to my own hourly delight; and for this further reason, because I had devoted the
labour of my whole life, and had dedicated my intellect, blossoms and fruits, to
the slow and elaborate toil of constructing one single work, to which I had
presumed to give the title of an unfinished work of Spinosa's--viz., De
Emendatione Humani Intellectus. This was now lying locked up, as by frost, like
any Spanish bridge or aqueduct, begun upon too great a scale for the resources
of the architect; and instead of reviving me as a monument of wishes at least,

No plan for Peugeot stake, France's PM says
By Catherine Lagrange and Yann Le Guernigou
GRENOBLE (Reuters) - France has no plans to support ailing carmaker PSA Peugeot Citroen (PEUP.PA: Quote) with a stake purchase, Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault said, cooling speculation of a cash injection to ease the company's problems.
The comment came a day after Peugeot, suffering falling sales in a depressed European car market, highlighted the scale of its woes by taking a 4.1 billion euro ($5.5 billion) write-down on the value of its plant and other automotive assets.
"Regarding the purchase of a stake in this company, it is not on the agenda because PSA is not asking for it," Ayrault told reporters in Grenoble.
"We do have a tool, the FSI (France's sovereign-wealth fund), which can if necessary take a stake. But today this question is not being looked at," Ayrault said.
A spokesman for the FSI said the organization is not working on any plan to invest in Peugeot. Peugeot declined comment.
Although PSA's write-down was a non-cash accounting item that does not affect the group's liquidity or solvency, it reflected Europe's worsening market outlook and prompted speculation the state might intervene.
"The writedowns reflect Peugeot's difficulties, namely that it concentrated too much on growing in Europe and ended up missing out on international growth and alliances," said Harry Wolhandler, chief executive of Amilton Asset Management.
"We're staying away from the stock for now." Continued...

The U.S. House of Representatives Ethics Committee launched an investigation into pro-Israel Rep. Shelley Berkley (D-Nev.), potentially complicating her bid for the U.S. Senate.
The investigation announced Monday, and backed by both Democrats and Republicans on the committee, will focus on allegations that Berkley's championing of kidney care benefitted her husband, a leading kidney specialist in Nevada.
"The Committee notes that the mere fact of establishing an investigative subcommittee does not itself indicate that any violation has occurred," said a statement from the Ethics Committee.
Berkley's office said she was "pleased with the committee's decision to conduct a full and fair investigation, which will ensure all the facts are reviewed."
Berkley's successful efforts to block a federal bid to close a kidney transplant center saved part of a practice her husband co-owns.
Berkley, widely considered as among the most pro-Israel members of the House, was seen as one of a handful of chances for the Democrats to pick up a Senate seat in a year when they are defending most of their seats. She faces Sen. Dean Heller (R-Nev.) who was named to the seat after Sen. John Ensign (R-Nev.) resigned in a scandal.

From The Atlantic
Turns out, we're not good at anticipating the kind of community we'll need as we age.
A not-so-ridiculous idea.
In many places in the U.S., the population is getting older and younger at the same time. And that has big implications for public health.
Researchers have found evidence that strong social ties may be just as important as not smoking.
By 2031, one in five people living in America will be older than 65. But virtually none of our cities or suburbs were built with them in mind.
Researchers find free rides on public transit can spur physical activity in older adults.
Surveys show older people are more likely to actively oppose new development
