We Got Recipes!
While opening a grocery store was not on the forefront of our brains 5 years ago, things changed when we realized that here an entire community with a common interest did not have a clear plan for manifesting that goal, even with a $90k grant and wide support of the West Broadway Neighborhood Association. We began to feel that if our community cannot get what we want through cooperation, on as basic an issue as fresh vegetables, then how will we expect to move on toward futuristic hopes for renewable energies and any sense of sustainability? We must address the basic elements of our lives which are out of sync.
By now, supporters of the local food movement are all familiar with Community Supported Agriculture. It is a highly successful model that allows farmers security and flexibility. This agreement is dependent on trust, as the buyers are paying for a future product that is also causally related to the nature of that season's harvest. With the trust rightly placed, in truth the most common complaint about CSAs is too much produce. There is a practical necessity that CSAs address: it takes time for a seed to become a fruit. The farmer must gather supplies, plant, work, and wait. Rightfully so, the eaters must also anticipate their future feast.
Community Supported Agriculture is arguably the most successful innovation in the business of local small-scale farming. That being said, the Fertile Underground are adapting the model to work in a new way, something we call Community Supported Grocery. The concept is the same: folks purchase a share ahead of time, allowing the supplier to gather what is needed to provide the service when the harvest comes. In this case, the grocery needs not buy seeds or soil, but rather to buy those food products that are in demand by the public supporters. As such:
Fertile Underground are raising funds by selling "Crop Cash" that is redeemable as credit at the store. Up front, these are essentially short-term loans that help us to fill the Grocery shelves at 1577 Westminster, without extra loans and interest. While these investments may not appear lucrative from a venture capital perspective, they are very much so from a Slow Money perspective, where investing is used to increase the health of communities and ecosystems, not just to collect money.
Fertile Underground are wisely investing our time, and the funds devoted to this project, toward creating a well-suited place for the storage, display, and exchange of food. We now ask if you will entrust us to store your food there, and maintain the supply of products you need. The concept is that of us all chipping in to make food orders as a united group, with Fertile Underground acting as the stewards of food, assuring quality, and working tirelessly to find the best values requested by the group.
We haven't found any other group employing this method to open a food-store. In conversing about it, we get a strong sense that it can work. Everyone sees the utility, and straightforward need for a new model of funding. We speak of sustainability in the environmental sense, but we must also address social and economic elements. Rhode Island is a vanguard locale for new farms, with over 1,000 registered farms, growing at a faster rate than anywhere nationwide. There is a palpable need for a new, pragmatic approach to distribution, as existing supermarkets mostly do not buy from small individual farms. We have a chance here to experiment with a store model, being one of a handful of worker-cooperative groceries nationally, and possibly the first to employ the "Community Supported Grocery" model, whose simple group power could stimulate many communities to affect the food system in their own region.
Most importantly, we will prove to ourselves that a Community can collaborate and work to create the improvements they agree on. There is no more time to pass blame governments, corporations, or each other, however culpable. We each need to make our own choices about how to address the issues of the modern day.
The Fertile Underground have chosen local food distribution as a next step towards a better world, as it saves resources, improves health & quality of life, strengthens farm jobs and the environment. The most poignant way the community can meet us with support at this moment is by participating in the Community Supported Grocery plan to stock Fertile Underground Grocery.
Alternatively, Come in the Store and put some dough on a personal Tab - we'll use it to bring more of your favorite foods into the grocery!

Rip current awareness saves lives
Escape the grip of the rip
ATLANTIC BEACH, CARTERET COUNTY - The waves of the ocean can look beautiful and peaceful, but they can also be dangerous.
"I'm guessing they're six to ten feet high. They're powerful. They can take you right off your feet," said Amos Stoltzfus.
The red flags are up at Atlantic Beach which means there's a high risk for rip currents.
"Because of the surf and the conditions of the surrounding water, it can make the rip currents a little bit stronger," said Ben Ansel, a lifeguard at Atlantic Beach.
North Carolina's underwater topography is prone to forming sand bars. Low spots or breaks in the sand bars cause rip currents. If you are caught in a rip current, do not try to swim directly back to shore. Instead, swim parallel to the coastline until you're out of the rip current. Then, swim back to the beach.
The majority of the distress calls made to the Atlantic Beach Fire Department are because people get caught, they panic and tire out quickly.
"They're trying to keep their head above water, and at that point they may not be able to signal for help or scream. The next stage is distress that could lead to submersion then drowning," said Lt. Scott Bell.
Sometimes you can identify a rip current before getting into the ocean. The water may be a different color, the waves break unevenly or you see debris being pulled out into the ocean. Most importantly, if you are caught in a rip current, staying calm could save your life.
"You'll be able to know what you're doing, and then you're able to receive orders better. So we can get business done and get out of there," said Ansel.
Staying calm and swimming parallel to shore will help you escape the grip of the rip.

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
Kevin DrumJan. 1, 2010 12:45 PM
You've seen catblogging in the aughts. Now prepare yourself for the awesome spectacle of catblogging in the teens!
Which, um, turns out to be much the same. But maybe it's because these pictures were taken yesterday and aren't truly new decade material. In any case, Inkblot is on the left, swatting at a stick outside the frame of the picture. Actually, it was an iron rod that I was waving around, and after Inkblot bopped it a few times and realized it didn't bend friskily like a normal stick, he got scared of its adamantine nature and eventually fled the scene. (And by "fled" I mean he jumped over to the other chaise longue and gave me the evil eye.) As for Domino, she's just enjoying the last of the December sun here in Southern California. Good call.

Google, Garmin, And Free Navigationby
Six years ago this week, and before I worked for BusinessWeek, I wrote this profile of the GPS company Garmin in Forbes Magazine. (I have a scan of the print version of the story here.) I thought of it this morning as I read Rob Hof's post as well as today's front page story in The New York Times about how about how Google's introduction of free turn-by-turn directions to its Android smart phone platform is upending the navigation device industry.
For the story six years ago, I asked Garmin co-founder and CEO Min Kao about the competitive threat or business opportunity he saw from GPS-enabled wireless phones. Phones, he said, were the kind of "commodity market we want to avoid." Motorola and Nokia and other phone companies were just starting to embed GPS chipsets on phones in 2003, and and some phones could already give you turn-by-turn directions, though nothing as good as what you could get from a Garmin navigation system mounted on the dashboard of a car. Garmin was at the time starting to push the iQue 3600, a Palm OS-based PDA (remember those?) that had all the capabilities of one of its navigation systems. As you can see, it didn't sell terribly well and has long since been discontinued.
Fast forward four years to late 2007, when I wrote this story for BusinessWeek on how wireless phone companies were teaming with services like Networks in Motion and TeleNav to provide their own wireless navigation services on their phones.
Now Garmin is trying its hand at the smart phone business. The results, are, as Steve Wildstrom wrote recently, not terribly impressive. Meanwhile Garmin's biggest rival TomTom — a company that was not on my radar screen until 2006 — has turned Apple's iPhone into a powerful in-car navigation device.
Garmin was the up-and-coming navigation company in 2003, and it got that way very quickly. At that time it had been only three years since President Clinton had ordered a permanent end to the policy of Selective Availability on the Global Positioning System constellation of satellites. This policy, which had been in force since the launch of the system, required that civilian GPS signals be made deliberately inaccurate so that they couldn't be used against US forces on the battlefield. While the civilian signal was good enough for hiking and hunting, it wasn't accurate enough to provide turn-by-turn directions in a car.
As soon as that policy change made civilian signals more accurate, an industry sprung up around in-car navigation. Automakers started building sophisticated nav systems into dashboards, and that companies like Garmin and TomTom, Magellan, and others sought to compete in the aftermarket, and even jockeyed for the attention of Detroit. Garmin and TomTom are the two biggest players, and every holiday season compete like crazy in the retail business.
But the rate of creative destruction of business models in the navigation business has been nothing short of shocking, even for the fast-moving tech industry in general. Garmin and TomTom made paper maps all but obsolete with their devices. Wireless carrier-based services quickly rose after that to challenge them. And now, both are being challenged by Google and its free phone-based offering. This has all happened in less than a decade.
Earlier this month, market research firm iSuppli noted that sales of personal navigation devices — those Garmin and TomTom dashboard devices — had entered a period of "slowing growth," and that sales may actually decline this year, and remain flat after that. And in September, iSuppli projected that navigation-ready smart phones will surpass PNDs by 2014, a ratio of more than 2 to 1. ABI Research said earlier this year that GPS will be included in 9 out of 10 handsets within five years.
One reason for these relatively quick turns of fate is the relatively low barrier to entry in the navigation business. The civilian GPS signal is provided to the entire world free of charge, courtesy of the US taxpayer to the tune of about a billion dollars a year. GPS chipsets that can be built into phones, or frankly any other device for that matter, have been coming down price for years. If you want to build a better navigation device, there's not much to stop you. You'll also need a source of mapping data, and for that there is Navteq, now owned by Nokia, and TeleAtlas, now owned by TomTom.
There is certainly a compelling case to be made that if free is the default price for navigation on a smart phone, as it appears it will be with this new Google service, then this is bad news for the Garmins, TomToms, and TeleNavs of the world. The 7-dollar and change drop in Garmin's stock price over the last two days certainly reflects that.
But will the Google service be as good? Garmin and TomTom have a lot of practice in providing directions, and have honed their skills over the years, and build devices that are highly reliable and accurate, and which don't rely on a cellular data signal at all. That may turn out to be a key marketing point for the PND industry. When you're driving in the middle of nowhere and outside of the range of a cellular signal, the last thing you want to worry about is getting lost. Either way, I'll be interested to compare Google's service side-by-side with a dedicated PND and see which is better.

ICANN overturns new gTLD objection decision!
ICANN has overturned a Community Objection decision, allowing a .med new gTLD applicant back into the game, after a Request for Reconsideration from the applicant.
It's the first time ICANN has overruled an objection panel during the new gTLD program and the first time in over a decade any RfR of substance has been accepted by the ICANN board of directors.
Medistry lost a CO filed by the program's Independent Objector, Alain Pellet, back in January.
Under program rules, that should have killed off its application for .med completely.
But the company filed an RfR — ICANN's first and cheapest appeals mechanism — claiming that Pellet acted outside his jurisdiction by filing the objection when there was not at least one informal objection from a community member on the public record.
Its case, as outlined in its RfR, was quite compelling, as I outlined in a piece in March.
Medistry argued that the International Chamber of Commerce's panelist, Fabian von Schlabrendorff, had cited two non-existent informal community objections in his decision.
One of them literally did not exist — and von Schlabrendorff went so far as to infer its existence from its absence — while the other was "advisory" in nature and was not intended as an objection.
In March, ICANN's Board Governance Committee accepted Medistry's RfR on a preliminary basis, to give it more time to consider whether the IO had acted outside of the new gTLD program's rules.
Yesterday, the BGC came to its final decision (pdf):
The BGC concludes that, based on information submitted with this Request, there is substantial and relevant evidence indicating that the Objection was inconsistent with ICANN procedures, despite the diligence and best efforts of the IO and staff. Specifically, the Requester [Medistry] has provided the BGC with uncontroverted information demonstrating that the public comments on which the Objection was based were not, in fact, in opposition to the Requester's application. Accordingly, the BGC concludes that ICANN not consider the Expert Determination at issue and that the Requester's Application for .MED is therefore permitted to proceed to the next stage of process in the New gTLD Program.
In other words: 1) Pellet inadvertently acted outside of his remit 2) the ICC's ruling on the objection is simply cast aside and 3) Medistry's application is back in the .med contention set.
The main reason this RfR succeeded while all others to date have failed is that Medistry managed to provide new information, in the form of clarifying letters from the two non-existent informal objectors, that was not originally available.
The large majority of previous RfR's have failed because the requester has failed to bring any new evidence to the table.
The public comments from [National Association of Boards of Pharmacies] and [American Hospital Association] that were the basis for the Objection were vague and open to a number of interpretations. Given that there is substantial and uncontroverted evidence from the authors of those public comments, indicating what NABP and AHA intended, the BGC cannot ignore this information in assessing the Request or reaching its determination.
I think ICANN is going easy on the ICC and von Schlabrendorff (how can something that does not exist be "open to a number of interpretations"?) but it seems that the RfR process has in this case nevertheless been a bit of a success, overturning an extremely dodgy decision.
The .med contention set also contains HEXAP and Google.
OMG! gTLD applicant actually wins objection appeal
Medistry has become the first new gTLD applicant to win an appeal to ICANN over an objection decision that went against it.
The .med hopeful has also become the first entity in years to successfully use the much-derided Reconsideration Request process to get ICANN's board of directors to revisit a decision.
The company's application received a Community Objection filed by the new gTLD program's Independent Objector, Alain Pellet, along with a bunch of other healthcare-related gTLD bids.
Medistry lost, meaning its application should be dead in the water.
But it appealed using the Reconsideration process, arguing that Pellet failed to follow the rules laid out for the IO in the program's Applicant Guidebook.
These rules state that the IO can only object on Community grounds if there is at least one informal objection from a community member on the public record, for example filed as ICANN comments.
Medistry claims that the IO did not pass that test in its case and the ICANN board's Board Governance Committee, which handles Reconsideration Requests, reckons that claim merits further review.
Judging by the International Chamber of Commerce decision (pdf), comments filed by the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy and the American Hospital Association were critical in showing "substantial opposition" from the healthcare community.
Without such opposition, the IO would have had no right to object.
Medistry argued during the objection case that the NABP comment, which talks about the need for patient safety, was purely "advisory" in nature and did not represent an objection to its .med application.
The ICC panelist, Fabian von Schlabrendorff, disagreed, writing:
The Expert Panel accepts that the comments made by the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP), on which the Independent Objector relies for the purpose of demonstrating substantial opposition, represent an expression of opposition, i.e. resistance or dissent, to the Application, going beyond merely having an advisory character as the Applicant suggests.
The problem with that interpretation is that it turns out to be dead wrong. Von Schlabrendorff read too much into the original NABP comment.
Medistry submitted as part of its Reconsideration Request a letter from NABP saying:
We wish to clarify that NABP's comment was intended to be advisory in nature, stressing that health-related gTLDs should account for patient safety and implement protections against fraud and abuse. In submitting this comment, NABP did not oppose Medistry's application to be the Registry Operator for the .MED gTLD, nor take any position as to whether Medistry's .MED application contained appropriate safeguards.
The second public "objection" used by the IO to allege substantial opposition, an argument that von Schlabrendorff accepted, came from the America Hospital Association.
Except the AHA did not file a comment on the Medistry application (well, it did, but it was withdrawn two days later in September 2012, long before the objection process began).
The AHA did object to the other three applications for .med, filed by Google, Hexap and DocCheck, but not to Medistry's application.
Remarkably, von Schlabrendorff chose to interpret the absence of an AHA objection as the existence of an AHA objection, speculating that it did not object to Medistry's application due to nothing more than an oversight, and applied its objections against Medistry regardless.
even if the Applicant had established in understandable and verifiable detail that the AHA on purpose decided not to oppose the Application, such decision of the AHA would and could not change the fact that the NABP expressed opposition to the Application on grounds of public health concerns, and that the AHA raised essentially identical concerns with regard to all other .med applications.
To me, this looks like Medistry was given the Kafkaesque challenge of proving that the AHA had not objected to its application, even though there was no such objection on record.
Using a von Schlabrendorff level of speculation, I'm guessing that the AHA did file an objecting comment originally, but withdrew it a couple of days later when informed that Medistry's parent company is an AHA member.
Given that the NABP and AHA "objections" both turned out to be non-existent, the ICANN BGC has naturally enough decided that the Medistry Reconsideration Request merits further consideration.
The BCG wrote (pdf):
the BGC finds that Request 14-1 should be granted to provide sufficient time to further evaluate whether any actions were taken in contravention of established policy or procedure, such as whether the threshold requirement set forth in Section 3.2.5 of the Guidebook was satisfied. The BGC will ensure that ICANN further evaluates this issue and provides a report to the BGC for consideration
It is important to note that the BGC's acceptance of this Reconsideration Request should in no way reflect poorly on the IO or be seen as a finding that the IO failed to properly discharge his duties. Rather, this determination is a recognition that the Requester has submitted substantial information indicating that the IO's assessment of what could be described as vague comments (particularly those of NABP), may not have been consistent with what the commenters intended.
What this seems to mean is that the Medistry application for .med is undeaded and that von Schlabrendorff's increasingly dodgy-looking decision is going to be looked at.
It also means that Reconsideration Requests are not entirely useless.
No Reconsideration Request of any consequence has been accepted by the BCG in the 15 years the procedure has been active.
Generally, they're thrown out because the requester fails to provide any new information that wasn't available at the time the offending decision is made, which is a prerequisite for success.
In this case, Medistry's production of the NABP letter of clarification seems to have been critical.
Applicants call for new gTLD objections appeals process
Twelve new gTLD applicants, representing many dozens of applications, have called on ICANN to create an appeals process for when Community Objections have debatable outcomes.
Writing to ICANN and the International Chamber of Commerce this week, the applicants focus on the recent decision in the .sport case, which they said proves that ICC panelists don't fully understand the Community Objection policy as laid out in ICANN's Applicant Guidebook.
The letter points to five "glaring errors" in the "fatally flawed" .sport decision, in which Olympics-backed applicant SportAccord prevailed over Famous Four Media's competing application.
The signatories — which include Radix, United TLD, Donuts, Famous Four, TLDH and others — say that the ICC panelist simply assumed SportAccord represented the "sport" community and failed to pinpoint any "likelihood of material detriment" that would be caused by Famous Four's .sport going ahead.
It seems to me that the latter arguments are much more well-founded.
While the letter tries to pick holes in the panelist's finding that SportAccord represents enough of the "sport" community to be able to win the objection, the arguments are pretty tenuous.
The applicants use an definition of "community" found elsewhere in the Guidebook, for example, to attempt to show that the panelist failed to follow the guidelines for establishing a community in a Community Objection.
The panelist's actual ruling uses the definition of "community" from the relevant part of the Guidebook and seems to follow it fairly closely. The applicants make a poor job of questioning his logic.
However, on "detriment", the letter seems to be on much firmer ground.
It argues that the panelist deliberately lowered the bar from "likelihood of material detriment" to "possibility of material detriment" in order to hand SportAccord a victory.
The letter states:
If the Expert's current logic is followed, every application, including the Objector's own application, creates "possible" damage. In this case, an allegation of material detriment against any application would be upheld because there is future "possible" damage.
It also makes reference to the fact that the panelist appears to in many cases have been weighing the Famous Four application against SportAccord's, which was not his job.
It reads in part: "The Expert did not identify a single objectionable or lacking aspect in the application that creates a likelihood of material detriment."
The applicants call on ICANN to immediately create an appeals mechanism for Community Objections, and to ensure that ICC panelists are given training before making any more decisions.
Here's the full list of signatories: Radix, United TLD, DotClub Domains, Top Level Design, Donuts, Top Level Domain Holdings, Priver Nivel, Fegistry, Employ Media, Famous Four Media, Merchant Law Group, DotStrategy.
Famous Four vows to fight .sport objection loss
Famous Four Media has promised to pursue "all available legal avenues" after losing a Community Objection over the .sport gTLD to its Olympic-backed rival.
The portfolio applicant lost out to SportAccord in an October 23 decision by International Chamber of Commerce panelist Guido Santiago Tawil, meaning its .sport application should be rejected by ICANN.
But Famous Four says it's not over yet. In a statement today, the company said:
Famous Four Media shall pursue rigorously all available legal avenues available to it to have the decision independently reviewed by ICANN and/or others as the case may be, and reversed.
The logical first step of such a threat would be a Reconsideration Request, a relatively cheap way to challenge an ICANN decision with a virtually zero chance of succeeding.
That could be followed by a demand for an Independent Review Panel procedure, which would take much longer and cost significantly more. When ICM Registry won an IRP, the bill ran to millions.
Or Famous Four could try its luck in the courtroom, which could be flustered by the fact that all new gTLD applicants had to sign fairly one-sided legal waivers when they applied.
So what's the company so worked up about?
It's lost the chance to run .sport, because the ICC panelist ruled that SportAccord, which is backed by the International Olympic Committee and dozens of official sporting associations, represents the "sport" community and would be harmed if Famous Four were to run the TLD.
Famous Four had argued in its defense that SportAccord can only purport to represent a "subset" of this community — its sporting organization members — rather than everyone who has an interest in sport.
Rather amusingly, in its statement today, FFM linked to the IOC's own marketing, which bears the slogan "Sport Belongs to All", to prove its point:
it is Famous Four Media's unshakable belief that this statement is true and just and that is why Famous Four Media applied for an open TLD – a top level domain that is open to everyone and offered to everyone on a level and equitable basis. Trying to claim ownership and representation of sport is akin to claiming representation for the human race.
An alternative reading would be to state that the IOC's marketing slogan is, like all marketing slogans, bullshit.
But it actually cuts to the heart of the case itself, which Guido Santiago Tawil found in favor of SportAccord, writing:
The ICANN Guidebook does not require that an "entire" community agree on an objection to an application. In fact, it would be almost impossible for an institution to represent any community as a whole. If such was the requirement, there would be no reason to provide for the possibility of community objections.
It is difficult to imagine which other association may claim representation of the Sport Community besides an institution that represents, as Objector does, more than a hundred well-known sports federations and institutions related to sports.
Another key, and related, factor Community Objection panelists have to consider is whether a community is "clearly delineated".
It's here where the arguments that an applicant can use to win a Legal Rights Objection seem to fail under Community Objection scrutiny.
Famous Four said that "sport" is not clearly delineated along the lines defined by SportAccord — ie, members of its federations — because it doesn't allow, say, hobbyists or the media to get involved.
Similar arguments were made in LROs.
Applicants regularly defended themselves against LROs — where the objector owns a trademark rather than purporting to represent a community — by pointing out all the non-infringing uses of the string.
That defense apparently doesn't work in Community Objections, with the .sport ICC panelist ruling:
The fact that the media (which may constitute a different community) or viewers are unable to be part of this association is irrelevant to consider Objector as a delineated community. Otherwise, no community could be recognized under the ICANN gTLD proceedings since it would be easy for any Applicant to find secondary or not closed-related members outside of it.
In its response to the ruling today, FFM called this a "non sequitur", adding:
It is not difficult to conceive of communities which are exclusive, and in all cases these do not consist of generic words like "sport." One example already given by other commentators might be ".yorkuniversity."
Another key pivot point in the .sport decision is "detriment".
Objectors have to prove the "likelihood of material detriment to the rights or legitimate interests of a significant portion of the community to which the string may be explicitly or implicitly targeted."
The panelist in this case chose to interpret this as "future 'possible' damage", which he said was quite a low bar.
His reasoning, in finding that detriment to SportAccord was likely, seems to hinge quite a bit on the fact that SportAccord has also applied for the same gTLD.
While seemingly discarding "hypothetical" arguments about cybersquatting and such in an open-registration .sport gTLD, he said he "shares Objector's argument that all domain registrations in a community-based '.sport' gTLD will assure sports acceptable use policies."
That thinking only works, I think, if you also have a community-based .sport application on the table.
As FFM characterized it today: "What he is in effect saying is that the .SPORT gTLD should be delegated: just not to dot Sport Limited. This was not his decision to make."
This week at the newdomains.org conference in Munich I spoke to several people who believe some of the highly contested, super-premium new gTLDs will take years to resolve.
It seems that .sport is going to be one of those.
Under the ICANN rules, FFM is supposed to withdrawn its application now. That's clearly not going to happen.
Three gTLD Community Objections rejected
International Chamber of Commerce panelists have recently rejected three Community Objections against new gTLD applications.
The dismissals include objections to the controversial Turkey-based bids for .islam and .halal, filed by Asia Green IT System, which had raised the ire of the United Arab Emirates' telecommunications regulator.
The UAE's Telecommunications Regulatory Authority — also the operator of its ccTLDs — said it was representing the wider Islamic community under orders from the Organization of Islamic Cooperation.
But ICC panelist Bernardo Cremades ruled, based on a close reading of the OIC's letter to the TRA and other member states, that the OIC had not formally backed the objection.
While there were over 100 public comments objecting to .islam and over 70 to .halal, because the TRA merely referred to them rather than submitting copies as evidence, the panelist chose to ignore them completely.
He also noted that only the UAE has chosen to file a formal objection.
So Cremades ruled that there was no "substantial opposition" to the applications, which is one of the things objectors need to prove in order to win an objection.
The TRA also failed to persuade the panelist that there was "a likelihood of any material detriment" to the Muslim community if Asia Green's gTLDs were to be delegated, writing:
The Objector has certainly not provided any evidence that the Respondent is not acting or does not intend to act in accordance with the interests of the Muslim community.
So the TRA's objections were dismissed and the applicant can proceed to the next phase of the new gTLD program.
Also dismissed recently was Bundesverband der Deutschen Tourismuswirtschaft's objection to Donuts' application for .reisen ("travel" in German).
BTW, a German travel industry association, is associated with a competing bid for .reise. Weirdly, it did not file a String Confusion Objection against Donuts' .reisen.
It had argued among other things that German speakers would expect .reisen to conform to German and European consumer protection laws, while Donuts is planning an open and unrestricted gTLD.
The ICC panelist didn't buy that argument, noting that a hotel in Argentina could market itself as German-speaking without having to abide by, say, European data protection law.
He also ruled that BTW showed substantial opposition from the commercial sector of German-language travel agents, but not from other sections of the community such as individual travelers.
Finally, he ruled that Donuts had promised to put enough protection mechanisms in place to mean there was unlikely to be a detriment to the .reisen community.
The objection was dismissed.

How can it be made easier to remember a Chinese character? This volume offers a collection of over 1600 mnemonics that were built by Chinese native speakers (teachers, translators and others) in cooperation with Chinese learners. The way of making Chinese characters easy to memorize is here to divide the characters into smaller components. Each of them has already a meaning of its own. These parts were combined into short one-phrase-stories that can be easily remembered and provide you a fascinating impression of the pictorial language of Chinese characters.

One of the greatest promises of health information technology and electronic health records is the ability to securely access and share patient information at the point of care. Currently, there are 8 health information exchanges (HIEs) in Texas funded with federal grants that can provide information about patients at the point of care.
Health information exchanges (HIEs) allow physicians to exchange patient information securely when coordinating care with referring and consulting physicians. Having the right information on the right patient at the right time can enhance physician decision making at the time of care. This occurs when physicians have access to key patient information such as current medications, allergies, lab results, and recent hospitalizations.
TMA offers a webinar that will help physicians and office managers understand how information flows through HIEs, and what steps they should take to join a local HIE.
HIETexas video - This new video illustrates how HIETexas, in partnership with local health information exchange (HIE) networks, supports connectivity among the state's doctors and hospitals so they can securely access clinical data outside their local HIE.
Vital Connections: HIEs Improve Patient Care (Texas Medicine, Oct. 2012)
Texas HIEs - (HIEs funded by the ONC - does not include ALL Texas HIEs)
Before committing to a local health information exchange (HIE), physicians need to ask questions. Physician health information technology experts recommend physicians consider the following:
What information will be shared via the HIE? Some HIEs will share only laboratory data, while others will allow access to discharge summaries, notes, test results, and more.
How will physicians be able to determine the source, date, and time of the data? Answers to these questions will help physicians reconcile contradictory information they may encounter, such as a "penicillin allergy" for a patient pulled from one electronic medical record but "no known allergies" pulled from another.
What privacy and security mechanisms does the HIE feature? Physicians should learn the HIE's policies and procedures on how they'll obtain patient consent for using the data. If a patient chooses to exclude some data from being shared, the physician should make sure the HIE discloses that fact.
Does the HIE include the patient populations, referral networks, and the hospitals and other physicians the doctor works with? Make certain the HIEs connect to the local hospitals, labs, radiology services, and other facilities. Taking part in an HIE with limited connections could leave doctors having to make decisions based on partial information.
Will the HIE be financially viable in the future? It's not simple to move from one HIE to another. Physicians should ensure the HIE has a thorough business plan with strategies for long-term success and staying power. If the HIE has been in existence for a while, physicians should ask their colleagues about the exchange's track record and functionality.
Is there a fee to participate? Many HIEs will be free initially, but physicians should ask whether potential future fees have been addressed.
Who is on the HIE board of directors? HIE governance should represent health care stakeholders in the community.
What are the computer system requirements to connect to the HIE?
Does the HIE use a centralized or decentralized model? Physicians participating in exchanges that use a centralized model obtain a patient's permission to have their records and information stored in a database. Physicians and other health care professionals can query the database for patient information and share it with others. In a decentralized model, the physician stores patient information and permits access by authorized personnel and entities.
Are there opportunities to provide feedback on HIE operations? Physicians should inquire about their ability to attend HIE meetings and to weigh in on the system's functionality.

Make the most out of your skincare regime with BORGHESE's intelligent moisture intensifier. Not only does it flood dry skin with hydration; it also helps your other products sink in more deeply so that active ingredients can perform more effectively. As if that weren't enough, the lightweight formula boosts skin smoothness and clarity. Think of it as your moisturizer's best friend.
I think this worked well! My face definitely felt softer than usual...although that could have been the moisturizer at night (which is also new) in addition to the Borghese intensifier. Good stuff, but need to try it on its own or in the context of my usual routine.4
I love moisturizers, as in the winter I tend to have dry skin. This one was really good! I'm not sure if i would spend that much money on it compared to other moisturizers i can get at the store, but it left my skin feeling refreshed and certainly hydrated!4

" Brand: Nirvana Spa / Type: Body Scrub / Suitable for: Body / What it does: Smoothes, Exfoliates, "
I received this scrub for christmas last year, and I haven't been using it on a regular basis so I still have some left, but I do enjoy using it. I have never really seen the brand N-Spa, so I'm not sure how much it costs or where you can get it from, but it doesn't seem like an expensive product.
The packaging for this is a squeezy clear tube with the lid at the bottom, so it stands up in my shower basket very well. Plus as it's clear you can see how much product is left.
Everytime I use this I have a good sniff, as it has a really lovely smell, I expected it to be very orange and zesty when I first used it, but it's actually really different. I think as it's called orange smoothie that is what it's supposed to smell like but to me it smells like orange yoghurt, that sort of creamy orange smell, it's very subtle but incredibly nice.
It's an orange coloured, quite thick textured cream with small black beads in it, which I suppose are the ex-foliating part, they are very tiny, but when you use the scrub on your skin, you can feel them.
I don't think if I used this on a regular basis that it would last very long, as to scrub your whole body it does require quite a large amount, but if you only used it on one area maybe it lasts a bit longer.
After using this my skin does feel a lot smoother, and it does wash off very easily, unlike other scrubs I have used, so I would recommend this product, it's nothing amazing, but does make your skin feel that little bit softer, and the smell is really lovely.
I first started using N-Spa orange smoothie body scrub when I booked in for a spray tan, you are advised to exfoliate for a few days before you have the tan to ensure that it looks as natural as possible.
I saw this body scrub in Asda for the value price of 99p for a large 225ml tube. It has Orange smoothie in large black letters on the front of the tube and has a black flip top lid that it stands on. The tube is see through and you can see the orange body scrub, with little black bits in it. I am now onto my second tube and found that I got roughly five full body scrubs out of one tube, so I feel it is very good value for money.
It has quite a nice statement also written on the front 'Orange, said the wise man is surely the most happy of colours and even though its hard to be sure where its place in the rainbow starts and ends, be certain that even the most weary heart will smile when it captures its sweet scent and fruit awash with love and sunshine'
The directions on the back are simple, apply directly to cleansed, damp skin, gently massage and rinse. I particularly like the bit underneath that says 'don not eat, this is not a food product'!! So for anyone out there that would mistake this for something you can eat, then don't!!
I use this when in the shower, I wet my whole body and then squeeze a small amount of the scrub on my hand and start from top to bottom. You don't need a lot in your hand as it does go quite a long way. As soon as you open the tube you smell the gorgeous orange scent of the scrub. The scrub felt lovely on my skin, the small black bits were not too abrasive so that it hurt (as some body scrubs do) but just abrasive enough so that you could feel it was doing you some good. I gently massage it into my skin, all over my body (apart from my face) for a few minutes and then rinse off with warm water. The scrub rinses off very easily and doesn't leave behind any residue as some scrubs do. I then was all over with my usual shower gel to ensure I have removed all of the scrub.
After using this body scrub, my skin felt instantly softer and smoother and once I had moisturised I was left with soft skin for days. This body scrub will now remain part of my beauty regime, I am very impressed with the results for such a cheap item.
A few months ago I felt the need to purchase a product to help with the condition of the skin on my legs. I have in the past purchased body scrubs but have been left less than satisfied. This was until I came across this product.
The product I will review is n-spa fruit, orange smoothie body scrub, by nirvana spa, an absolutely delightful scrub that smells good enough to eat!!!
The scrub comes in a very understated tube. The tube is clear with thick black writing on it, which would normally attract me, but the colour of the scrub itself is so vivid that as it shows through the tube it is certainly an eye catcher!!!!
The front of the tube says "ORANGE SMOOTHIE" in large thick black letters on the left hand side, under which is written - "orange, said the wise man, is surely the most happy of colours and even though it's hard to be sure where its place in the rainbow starts and ends, be certain that even the most weary heart will smile when it captures it's sweet scent and fruit awash with love and sunshine."
Yes I know, absolute rubbish, but it at least gives you something to read when in the shower!!!
The tube holds 225ml of scrub and has a shelf life of 36months.
The smell of the scrub hits you the second the tube is opened, and is almost edible hence all the "do not eat, this is not a food product!", text over the back of the tube. The exfoliating beads are small and black in colour, and the product is thick and emollient and doesn't disappear into nothing when applied to the skin.
The colour of this product is just as you would expect it to be, bright orange!!!
The directions for use are pretty simple, it just states - apply to cleansed damp skin, gently massage and rinse. You will have to rinse well as once on the beads hold on for dear life!!
I purchased this product for £3.95, from Asda. It could however have been purchased as part of a two for £5.00 deal, but as I hadn't tried it at that point I thought it better to abstain, for this time anyway!!!
Also available in the "FRUIT" range are raspberry, crème brulee vanilla and lemon sorbet, all with the matching bath lotion and all vivid in colour and smelling like a packet of Opal Fruits............sorry!! I mean Starbursts, (god how old am I!!).
This product, after only three uses has transformed my skin, from being dry, scaly and lumpy to being smooth and soft to the touch.
I will say, however, that after the use of this product, you must apply a lot of moisturising lotion as this product can dry the skin out a little, but apart from that it's wonderful!!!!
Exfoliate the skin, to leave you feeling silky smooth and fragranced with the scent of the tropics / Apply onto damp skin using circular movements and feel the warmth melt away muscle tension and kick start circulation /

World No. 1 Andy Roddick remains confident about his Australian Open preparation despite losing to eighth seed David Nalbandian in a gripping three-set match at Kooyong yesterday.
In the best match of the week in the Commonwealth Bank International, Roddick and Nalbandian battled it out for more than two hours, with the American and then the Argentinian taking control.
Just when it seemed Nalbandian had the match wrapped up at 5-1 in the third set, Roddick hit back, breaking twice and forcing the match into a tie-breaker.
Nalbandian played beautifully from the back of the court, forcing the American to overhit. Roddick, the United States Open champion, lacked confidence at the net and despite using his hefty serve to get out of trouble on several occasions, he still lost serve four times in the final two sets. In the end, Nalbandian was a 3-6, 7-6 (7-2), 7-6 (7-4) winner.
Roddick was clearly surprised by the frequency of service breaks.
"It doesn't happen every day. It was tough on one side, I couldn't really see, we were tossing it up right in the sun and he handled it a lot better than I did.
"It definitely screwed with me and I let it annoy me, which I probably shouldn't have and he definitely utilised it and handled it a lot better than I did."
Although he concedes there is room for improvement in his game, Roddick is not too worried. "I felt like I had some chances, I just wasn't bearing down, but as far as hitting the ball, it's OK, I'm not really worried. You come here to play competitive tennis and that's basically the goal of this week.
"You don't want to go into the Australian Open with a bunch of hit and giggles under your belt . . . even win or lose this week, you just want to get in there and get in the trenches and maybe get the feeling back of competitive tennis again. So it's definitely a good thing to have a competitive atmosphere."
Nalbandian will now play four-time Australian Open champion Andre Agassi in today's final. It will be the veteran American's fifth straight final at Kooyong.
"It is going to be very tough. I just play against Andre one time in the Masters Cup and (it) was a very close, very exciting match. I think Andre, he is playing really good and tomorrow is going to be a war," said Nalbandian.
In other matches yesterday, Taylor Dent completed his tournament with a 6-7 (1-7), 6-2, 6-4 defeat of Thomas Johansson and Robby Ginepri defeated Sebastien Grosjean 7-6 (7-3), 6-2.

World War D: All Natural Deodorants Battle it Out
In today's post, I get to combine two of my favorite things in the world: all natural deodorants and zombies. What in the world do these have in common, you ask? At first it doesn't seem like they relate at all! But upon further inspection we find…..THIS!
Do Zombies Have B.O?
If you haven't been living under a rock, then you know the world has rediscovered a love for all things zombie. I think it was the highly successful television show, The Walking Dead, which helped the zombie make a comeback. I didn't even know about this show until it was on for 2 1/2 years (I think I was living under a rock!) When I found out about it, I watched the first 2 1/2 seasons in 2 weeks. It's THAT good. Even if you don't care for zombies, the acting, storyline, and characters are wonderful.
Because I like anything zombie, I was also in a hurry to see World War Z. Zombies AND Brad Pitt? C'mon, you can't go wrong. This movie's been out for a while but if you haven't had a chance to catch it, please make sure you do. The zombies in this film were some of the fastest moving ones I've ever seen! My boyfriend and I had a laugh about that!
So while that movie is cleverly titled World War Z, my post is just as cleverly titled: World War D. What's the D stand for? Deodorant….the search for an effective natural deodorant has been the bane of many people's existence. Mine included. There's SO many natural deodorants out there that claim to work and after spending $10-$20, we embarrassingly discover the opposite is true. I've had this happen. In a truck. With my boyfriend. And him saying, "What is that smell?" And me opening the window and saying…"I don't know." Actually, I did admit to my funk. I have a strong funk, even though I do routine detoxes and shower almost daily [kidding.] Some of us just have more body odor than others. Can you relate?
So with this in mind, I decided to let the all natural deodorants I have tried battle it out! Which one will come out victorious? Read on to find out…
Natural Deodorants Stink
One of the main objections I hear from people is that natural deodorants don't work because they're natural. Many women, even though they've gone organic in most aspects of their lives, continue to cling to their "Secret Clinical Strength." They feel they need pharmaceutical grade ingredients to stop them from smelling. This is so not true. Effective natural deodorants DO exist. You just have to do the legwork (which I've already done for you.) Another belief is that natural deodorants are too expensive. In fact, I just saw someone on Facebook complaining about this. My motto is, pay now or pay later. I'd rather pay a bit more for a natural deodorant now than a lot in serious health problems later.
Another important thing about natural deodorants- they don't stop you from sweating. This is a GOOD thing. Sweating is your body's way of detoxing. Commercial antiperspirants contain aluminum, which blocks your sweat glands…thereby blocking you from detoxing. We don't like this.
If you're buying natural deodorant already, you may think you're safe. Nope…just because it says "natural" on the label doesn't mean diddly squat. Tom's Deodorant claims to be natural and contains propylene glycol- the same main ingredient of motor oil. Yummy!
So the main thing to remember when choosing a natural deodorant that's effective is to read the ingredients. The second thing is to read my reviews below of what I have deemed the winner(s) of World War D.
[Also, please keep in mind that everybody's body chemistry is different- what works for me, may not work for you.]
World War D (eodorant)
The following deodorants are rated on a scale of 1-10 (arm)pits- 10 being the best
- Miessence Tahitian Breeze- 0 pits
I had to pull this one out of the oldie but goodie files. I used this deodorant about 4 years ago and brought it on a trip to New York with me. It was the only deodorant I had brought. Big mistake. Not only was I stinky linky, but I had some sort of sensitivity to the essential oils and broke out in a rash under my arms. While I love the Miessence brand, this just didn't work for me.
Pros- Umm none….
Cons- Did not keep the stink monster away, gave me a rash
- Nourish- 3 pits
This got 3 pits (and not zero) simply because of the scent- it's divine! Almond vanilla has got to be one of my all time favorite scent combinations. As lovely as it smells, this deodorant did not work on me at all. A few hours after application, it was stink city for me.
Pros- Fab scent, in deodorant stick form, super ingredients like coconut oil and shea butter
Cons- I was stinkin' up the joint a few hours after applying
- Primal Pit Paste- 4 pits
I was super excited to discover this line! They're made by some really awesome people. Unfortunately, they didn't work with my body chemistry, but many Facebook fans rave about PPP.
Pros- Super pure ingredients like organic lavender, organic lemongrass and coconut oil, comes as a deodorant stick or paste (obviously, duh!)
Cons- Smelly pits resulted for me after a few days of use
- Pit Putty – 5 pits
Some people swear by Pit Putty, made by one of my favorite USDA organic brands, Bubble and Bee. Unfortunately, none of them are effective on me in the long term. The AWESOME thing about Bubble and Bee is that they will send you another variety if the one you ordered didn't work for you. So it's kind of like no risk buying.
Pros- Comes in different scents & strengths, available as deodorant sticks or paste, satisfaction that you're buying from a female owned indie brand, their deodorant guarantee
Cons- all the varieties I used didn't hold up to the Florida heat
- Phresh- 8 pits
I was pleasantly surprised by this deodorant after discovering it in the June Goodebox. The format is like a conventional deodorant stick, which is cool. The reason I gave it an 8 is because when I used it primarily in the day, I got a tiny bit stinky. But I find that if I use it at night, it keeps me pretty phresh (heehee.)
Pros: Great ingredients such as aloe juice, silica, Lycium Barbarum fruit extract (not really sure what this is, but sure sounds good- JUST KIDDING- it originates from the goji, goji berry or wolfberry plant!)
-Deodorant stick format
-Comes in great scents (I used the Tropical Blossom- but it also comes in Barely Sweet, Creme Brulee, Unscented, and Sugar Mint)
Cons- Not as effective on me during the day as night
The stick came loose out of the package after 1 month of use
- Real Purity- 10 pits
After trying a multitude of natural deodorants, I came across this one. It's pretty much the only deodorant I'd bet the farm on. Let's just put it this way- if I was stuck on a desert island, I'd bring this and only this. It has all natural ingredients and is formulated to not only keep you smelling great, but helping your pits stay healthy. I've been using it successfully for over 5 years.
Pros- natural ingredients, including aloe, olive leaf extract, and sandalwood essential oil
-scent is not overbearing, in fact undetectable
-very effective (even in 90+ South Florida weather)
- great for sensitive skin
- liquid roll on formula, so you can use it to the last drop!
Cons- NONE
So when it comes down to it, Real Purity is the victor in World War D- the battle of the natural deodorants.
Were you surprised? Perhaps not if you're a regular reader of my blog, because I have raved about this product before.
I'm sure you've tried 536 natural deodorants too.
Have you found one that wins the war against stinkiness for you? If not, give my top pick a try. I'm sure you'll love it!
Stay natural…stay beautiful…go green!
P.S. I am an affiliate of Bubble and Bee and Real Purity. If you choose to purchase any items through my links, I will receive a modest percentage. I didn't choose Real Purity as my top deodorant simply because I am their affiliate. I became their affiliate when I experienced their deodorant and saw it was the best. I wanted to share this with others. So if you purchase, I thank you for helping to support my blog.

The album where Bruce Springsteen really settles in as The Boss – gritty, chest-pumping anthems all the way here on this one! Born In The USA is so exuberant and full of life, even when Bruce is angry –as he is on the title track – his charisma is so strong that you'd be forgiven for thinking he's cheerleading, when he's really criticizing. Strong stuff, even if you might want to skip over couple of overplayed numbers – with "Cover Me", "Darlington County", "I'm On Fire", "I'm Going Down", "My Hometown", "Glory Days", "Born In The USA", "No Surrender", "Bobby Jean", "Dancing In The Dark", and "Working On The Highway".

Representatives from Wright State University and the city of Fairborn, along with government officials and area business and military leaders, gathered at the site of the former CEMEX facility in Fairborn today to mark the groundbreaking for the National Center for Medical Readiness Tactical Laboratory (NCMR-TL) at Calamityville.
Developed by the WSU Boonshoft School of Medicine's Department of Emergency Medicine, the National Center for Medical Readiness is a Wright State Center of Excellence that provides training and education, research, a product development test-bed and commercialization opportunities that integrate medicine with disaster response. Calamityville will be the site of the NCMR's new tactical laboratory.
The global building materials company CEMEX donated the facility and surrounding 54-acre property to Fairborn in June to serve as the future site of the NCMR-TL. The Ohio Department of Development announced in May that it will grant Fairborn $2.8 million to clean up the brownfield site in anticipation of this project. Wright State University will provide $900,000 in matching funds.
The project has garnered more than $13 million in state and federal support to fund the Phase I development of the NCMR-TL, a state-of-the-art, collaborative training and research facility that will provide one-of-a-kind training opportunities for the world's medical, public health, public safety and civilian and military disaster-response decision-makers.
"The NCMR-TL will create a significant and sustainable economic impact on Fairborn, the surrounding Dayton region and the state of Ohio," said David R. Hopkins, P.E.D., president of Wright State University. "We estimate that over a five-year period the Tactical Lab, once fully functioning, will generate a direct and indirect economic impact of $374 million to the Dayton region. Wright State University and the Boonshoft School of Medicine serve as a major catalyst for economic growth in our region. This project is one more example of our commitment to serving the community.
Planners estimate that training courses will bring in more than $4.3 million annually, and as a test-bed for commercial product research and development, the laboratory will generate additional revenues of more than $2 million annually. The NCMR-TL will directly and indirectly create approximately 35 new jobs, and construction will create another 344 jobs. In addition, the tactical lab will increase tourism and overnight stays in the region, increase sales and income tax revenues and provide opportunities for the establishment and expansion of local business ventures.
"The Fairborn community values and is proud to support Wright State University and the National Center for Medical Readiness Tactical Laboratory at Calamityville," said Gary Woodward, mayor of Fairborn. "Our community will gain substantial benefits now and in the future through this effort, including cleanup and revitalization of an abandoned brownfield site in the city, the addition of future new jobs for the area, the beginning of a new leading-edge homeland security training facility in our region and the multiplier effect of the need for more goods and services to support this major effort in Fairborn.
After cleanup and renovation, the site, consisting of a large administrative building, workshops, warehouses and silos, will become Calamityville, the home of the NCMR-TL. Calamityville will feature realistic mockups of disaster situations, including confined space, submersion, elevated platforms, wilderness, rubble piles and transportation mishaps, as well as a simulated hospital. The site's existing facilities, including the silos and underground tunnels, offer a real-world training and research environment that will provide high-quality training programs and relevant solutions to emergency medical challenges, including:
- Gaining access to the trapped and missing
- Providing the highest level of medical or fatality care possible in the most austere of environments
- Evacuating patients in the safest and most effective manner possible
- Interacting with receiving medical sites for long-term care and recovery
"As a training tool and research test-bed, the tactical laboratory at Calamityville will prepare the civilian and military medical communities to participate and react effectively with traditional disaster responders," said Glenn Hamilton, M.D., director of NCMR-TL and professor of emergency medicine at the WSU Boonshoft School of Medicine. "This will provide a more complete approach to finding patients, offering initial care and safely evacuating them from disaster sites. The tactical laboratory will be the first site in the United States to fully integrate the civilian and military medical and non-medical responses that occur in a disaster or other complex rescue situation."
The NCMR-TL will be particularly important as the Base Re-Alignment Commission (BRAC) transfers the United States Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine (USAFSAM) to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. The tactical laboratory offers a unique opportunity for traditional Air Force education and training courses to be translated and transferred to the civilian medical and first responder communities. The National Center for Medical Readiness will become an educational bridge between the civilian and military worlds and offer students a more complete learning experience.
The initial site cleanup is expected to be completed by early 2010. This will allow Wright State University to renovate and build the first phase of the tactical laboratory, including a learning center. NCMR-TL officials plan to offer the first courses at the new site in 2010. Phase II will include additional props and a water feature, and Phase III will add a state-of-the-art hospital/student center. Phase II and III will commence once funding is in place.
The NCMR-TL was made possible with the support of CEMEX, the city of Fairborn, the Clean Ohio Revitalization Fund, the Dayton Development Coalition, the Department of Defense/U.S. Air Force, the state of Ohio, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Brownfields Program, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Wright State University, the Boonshoft School of Medicine and a coalition of state and federal legislators including former Ohio House Speaker, now state Sen. Jon Husted, former state Rep. Kevin DeWine, U.S. Rep. (Ret.) Dave Hobson, U.S. Rep. Steve Austria, state Sen. Chris Widener and U.S. Senators Sherrod Brown and George Voinovich.

La Jolla Painter
A native of Belgium, grandson of noted Flemish sculptor Victor Ven and nephew of Emile Verhaeren, the famous Belgian author, Verhaeren received his early art training in London and later in Canada, before coming to the US and to Southern California. A bold use of color and vigorous but subtle handling of the palette knife reveal the artist's fearless approach to his subject matter which included desert and woodland scenes, surf and coastline, still-life and portraiture. Well-known and acclaimed in La Jolla where he lived and maintained his studio, he had one-man shows in Canada, Mexico and the United States and his work is represented in numerous private collections around the world.

Custom Marine Stainless on Long Island?
Anyone have any recommendations for a shop that does custom marine stainless work on Long Island (preferably Nassau County) or in Westchester County?
I need a stern rail and bow pulpit built and while I can order over the web it would be some comfort to me if the shop was local. The tolerances for the stern rail are pretty tight.
Thanks in advance!

text: MIAMI, May 1, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Young sports car professional race car driver, Dion von Moltke, welcomed a number of important visitors to Homestead Miami Speedway and the APR Motorsports tent on a very wet, wild and windy Sunday. He was especially pleased to meet a group of special people from the Best Buddies Miami organization who arrived just as the beautiful number 51 APR Audi R8 was being wheeled out to the starting grid of the Miami Grand Prix. (Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120501/FL98695-a ) (Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120501/FL98695-b ) "I was pleased to be able to spend some time before the race with these very special people and the volunteers, who give so much of their time to the friendships and leadership development for their buddies, those with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). A very special thank you goes to Bethany Luna of Homestead Miami Speedway – she went out of her way in arranging for the Best Buddies visit and has proven to be one of the best people to work with in the racing business." said Dion, following the rain soaked race. Von Moltke started the race in 12th place in the GT class of the total field of 28 Grand-AM Rolex sports cars. Following the start in the pouring rain, Dion drove the Audi all the way up to 7th position before handing over to his co-driver, Dr. Jim Norman, after approximately 45 minutes that saw multiple cars sliding off and into the thick mud on various corners around the track. The rain unfortunately then got the better of the R8, causing a number of mechanical problems that slowed its performance, eventually leading to a 17th place finish. "I was also happy to have several students from my college, Florida International University (FIU) join us today. Thanks here again to Bethany for her support as well as to APR for providing lunch to the Best Buddies and FIU visitors. We also had guests from our sponsors South African Airways and PR Newswire here today. It was a tough day to be at the track as a spectator but hopefully everyone had a really good time. I hope to see our relationship with Best Buddies grow over time – theirs is a very worthy cause and we will do what we can to help," added Dion, after he had time to reflect on the events of the day. The next race on von Moltke's schedule is at New Jersey Motorsports Park on May 12th. About Best Buddies International: Best Buddies® is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to establishing a global volunteer movement that creates opportunities for one-to-one friendships, integrated employment and leadership development for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Re: st: Summer North American Stata Users Group meetings
"Sergiy Radyakin" <email@example.com>
Re: st: Summer North American Stata Users Group meetings
Wed, 3 Sep 2008 11:13:35 -0400
Dear All
Among the long list of wishes and grumbles that I passed to Stata
people during the summer meeting was a wish to change the font
programmaticaly from a .do file. I need this to display large tables
properly without having them wrapped, but it might be also helpful in
the situations that you describe. For the sake of
platform-compatibility it could be as simple as it is done in
web-browsers: selection of small, medium or large font. As for the
tables, what I wanted is in addition to options wrap/nowrap which wrap
either each line or the whole table, to have an option nowrapatall
which would help to have nice tables in the log file. Also I think
there is a b.u.g. in smcl when displaying tables with -wrap- option:
sysuse auto
tab p w, wrap
> 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0
> 0 | 1
-----------+{hline 704}+----------
Total | 1 2 1 1 1
1 1 1
seems like not all smcl-tags are properly expanded, perhaphs because
value 704 is too large (hline does not accept arguments larger than
255). (Windows, Stata 9.2 and 10.1) Or is it a feature?
If anyone knows how to change the font from the program - I would be
glad to find out. Also, has anyone ever seen a horizontal scroll bar
in the output window? Currently when the font is made larger, the
content of the output window which is off the screen becomes
inaccessible (to the naked eye, but it is still there: it can be
copied when the whole line is selected).
Thank you,
Sergiy Radyakin

This 6 ingredient hasselback baked apple recipe make for a simple yet delicious dessert. Baked apples topped with a mixture of walnuts, oats and Nektar granulated honey. Gluten Free and Dairy Free. Ready in 30 minutes.
The only apples I love are green apples. Red, multi color – all tooo sweet for me. The green ones are perfect. Juicy, a bit sour and not too sweet. Light and crunchy just how I like it.
Something about winter though – not the raw apple eating season for me.
Baked apples though – that's a whole other story. Those I'm down with. Even more so when they're shaped to resemble hasselback potatoes — whhhattt – I know, cool right? And better yet when they're sprinkled with a crumble made of pulsed walnuts, gluten free oats and Nektar honey crystals.
Now this hasselback baked apple recipe is a dessert for a cold winter evening. You can always just leave the apple halves intact, or just layer them in thin slices on the baking sheet, but I kind of loved making thin slits almost to the bottom and then stuffing the lightly sweet and nutty crumble mix right in between the wedges. And all over the top and the sides of the baking pan of course. The crispier it got in the oven the better.
This hasselback baked apple recipe can be completed in 30 minutes flat. Twenty to twenty-five of baking time and just a few minutes required for prep. My apples were fairly small so if you are using larger ones adjust the baking time accordingly. In terms of serving you can eat them as is, add a dollop of coconut whipped cream, or simply serve alongside these dark chocolate covered Nektar dusted pretzels. Kind of a perfect pairing for a nice Valentine's day dessert if you ask me. You've got the soft nutty caramelized apples and then those crispy crunchy salty chocateley pretzels. Kind of all the right flavors partying in your mouth.
And this hasselback baked apple recipe is super simple too so boyfriends/husbands/friends – get involved – no excuses with this one.
And since we're talking V day (is it seriously February already? I'm stilling writing down my New Years resolutions) Nektar Natural has another treat in store for you. Ok remember middle school (or was it elementary?) when you walked around handing out valentine's day notes and candies? Well they're back. You've seriously got to check out the Nektar Naturals Valentine's Day Honey-Gram. This is how it works: you just fill out the form and for free you can send a special someone a personalized love note with a packet of Nektar Honey Crystals.
Awww. So cute right?
Well what are you waiting for? Fill the form out, send away and get in the kitchen to make these delicious and wintery hasselback baked apple recipe!
