As an IT professional, I too prefer concise practical books that do not take long to understand the features offered by the new technology. As a strong supporter of practical stuff, I have endeavored to write this book on Oracle Application Express. In this book, I am sharing my personal APEX learning experience that I got by developing a clone of the sample application provided with Oracle Application Express. This book will walk you through to create a professional looking web-based database application. A great starting point for novice and equally beneficial for intermediate users, this book will allow users to practically explore Oracle Application Express (APEX) themselves. Besides creation of individual application pages, this book will demonstrate many professional techniques, summarized at the end of each chapter, to apply them to your own projects. Leaving out the boring bits, this book will emphasize on the inspiring and realistic example from the first chapter and will provide guidance in the following areas to make it a one-stop solution: • APEX introduction • Create APEX development environment • Create a professional looking web-based database application in APEX • Advanced Reporting • Application deployment • Access the application, remotely and in LAN If you really want to know what APEX is, try the practical stuff provided in this book and become an APEX fan. I hope this to be the best practical book on Oracle Application Express.

Hey guys. So obviously i am new to this forum. I am a college student at the university of missouri. a strong supporter of our country and our troops, and of course the second ammendment. I am new to the concealed carry world and will be getting my ccw gun and permit in the very near future. i am considering the ruger SR9c. let me know if you guys have any other good ideas? (in the $4-500) price range ;-).
Greetings and Welcome from Tenn!!
"Without fear there can be no Courage!"
Welcome aboard neighbor. I'm about 90 minutes west of your AO.
I've heard very good things about the Ruger SR9c but my experience with Ruger lies with their wheel guns, which are superb.
Some good alternatives would be Glock 19 or Glock 26 either new or used. I've heard good things about Kahr CM9 pocket 9mm which is also in the $500 price range. You save some money over Kahr's usually more expensive guns, but still get great quality.
I think if you stay in 9mm you'll still have a decent/proven defensive caliber that has cheap practice ammo. As a college student, ammo prices should be an issue you think about closely as you really should be shooting and practicing/training as much as you can. At some point ammo price will be a consideration. With 9mm you can afford to shoot a box every couple of weeks instead of a couple times a year.
And remember, shooting one 50 round box of ammo spent on good quality practice time once or twice a month is much more effective at improving your skills than shooting 300 - 400 rounds twice a year.

There's a sombre air about your room,
There's a darkness in your soul.
Within the wake of your heart,
I rest there and keep you warm.
Gasps explode and send off fireworks,
Inside my mind and enclosed in my body.
Like light and dark we join as one,
A complete and utter eclipse.
My innocence you threw upon the floor,
Along with the fabrics keeping me warm.
I journey to you with a pure heart,
And return home with it broken in love.

Juventus star Andrea Pirlo 'can't see' Paul Pogba returning to Manchester United, insisting the Premier League side must 'live with their mistake'.
Pogba left Old Trafford back in 2012 after finding himself frustrated by a lack of opportunities under then boss Sir Alex Ferguson, making the move to Juventus in the summer.
The midfielder quickly established himself in the first team - winning two Serie A titles by the age of 21 - forcing his way into the France national team in the process.
Chelsea are long term admirers of the Frenchman, but this window has seen him heavily linked with a return to Old Trafford, as Louis van Gaal looks to continue rejuvenating his squad.
But Juventus teammate Andrea Pirlo believes United have missed their chance with Pogba, insisting that he cannot see him returning to Old Trafford.
"For whatever reasons they [Manchester United] chose not to give him a chance, and that is a mistake they will have to live with now," Pirlo told Telefoot.
"I can't see that he [Pogba] will ever return to Manchester United."Reuse content

With new, forward-thinking technology ranges such as RIPS, Workforce and Paperlab, Epson clearly do not just pay lip service to the term 'innovation'. In fact if anyone is likely to 'change the game' in the print industry, it is them. Yet of all their advanced technologies, the biggest strategic investment they have made - in their history - is in PrecisionCore. So what is this, and why are they so excited about it?

Solid ink printing delivers documents with a vibrant and glossy finish on any paper type - fantastic for point of sale material or anything else where first impressions matter. But how does it work? We have put together a quick under-the-hood guide...
The difference between a Pagewide printer and a laser is pretty much the same as the difference between an inkjet and a laser printer. At the risk of sounding obvious, inkjets use ink; and this ink is applied directly to the page. In contrast, lasers use toner and bond it to the paper using a fuser unit.
HP have stated that their Pagewide range of printers are a "Reinvention at the intersection of speed, quality and cost."What makes their products so good that they can make such a confident claim? And if so, what makes them better for the user than other printers in the same class?
HP have rather grandly stated that their Pagewide range of printers are a "Reinvention at the intersection of speed, quality and cost." Do they have any justification to make such a claimWhat makes their products so good that they can make such a confident claim? And if so, what makes it them better for the user than other printers in the same class?
Xerox's Solid Ink seems a counterintuitive concept – how can something be an ink, and solid, at the same time? And how do systems that use it achieve not only incredible colour quality but also certified energy efficiency and maximised reliability?
This month we're very excited to be introducing HP's new PageWide Technology. HP are always pushing the boundaries of innovation and this time have come up with an entire new category of printing. Not only is there InkJet and LaserJet, but now they have given us PageWide...
The world of 3D Printing is an ever expanding one; it seems that every other day we hear news of another groundbreaking achievement in the 3D realm and the real life benefits of technology across all areas of life.The latest in a long line of new 3D printing processes that we love here at Printware, comes in the form of the 3D food printer Foodini. Thanks to the Foodini printer, printing 3D food is now more accessible to industry than ever before.
If you've ever found yourself saying there's not enough time in the day, then you will understand the plight of technology being underutilised in the workplace. If your office is overrun with printers, photocopiers, fax machines and other pieces of technology that just aren't being used enough to quantify their need, then maybe it's time to streamline and replace with a multifunction laser printer.
When we hear about 3D printing, it is usually in relation to the medical, fashion or automobile industry. However, 3D printing and Hollywood go way back, and this technology has seen the success of many movies. So, with yet another industry benefiting from all that 3D printing has to offer, are there any limitations to what this technology can do?
The fashion industry is thriving. Not only does it give designers the chance to showcase their latest collection of clothing for a particular season, but also the fashion industry is constantly connecting with all generations. Far from the traditional 'needle and thread' method, many designers are now enlisting the help of 3D printing to assist in the creation process.
Today, the printing market consists of such a variety of models that we can find exactly what we need at the touch of a button. However, with new technology like 3D printing, becoming more integral in different industries, could we be facing a paperless and printerless future? In short, no even though we are starting to rely more on digital storage solutions. So, why will the world never be paperless? Let's find out.
Aside from the classic balance of PCs and standard office furniture, what else are you likely to see in the commercial offices of today? Is new technology scarce, or can you expect to be greeted by a flow of tech throughout the workplace? Technology has undoubtedly become an integral part of everyday office life, so let's take a look at just three popular tech additions for offices and their input into daily work life.
Laser technology is popular in a number of industries today, and a lot of businesses make use of the benefits it offers. Not only is it highly versatile, but it comes at an affordable price too, so everyone, from start-ups to large corporations, can make the most of it. But what are the most popular laser applications in the office? Read on to find out.
Printing, in general, has come a long way. Today, we are blessed with inkjet and colour laser printers at our disposal, however one type of printer has captured a lot of press attention recently. In the past few years, 3D printing has been a part of some impressive projects and with industries making use of this technology every single day, who knows where it could take us next? Well, we might have an idea.
If you managed to catch even a glimpse of NCIS: Los Angeles' new series, you may have noticed their use of 3D printing. In the episode, In the Line of Duty, the team use a 3D printer to reconstruct the crime scene completely, using just photographs. So, let's take a look at just a few of the ways this technology has been integrated into the way forensics is carried out, and how it makes the process more efficient.
NASA has announced its intentions to move into using 3D printing in space, so they can create spare parts as and when they need them. The 3D hardware builds objects layer by layer with the use of polymers and other materials was first used in space on the 25th November 2014. So, with all this talk of 3D printers creating food and tools in the depths of the universe, it has left us wondering what limits 3D printing has.
HP – Hewlett-Packard Company – started off in a garage, but soon found success in the electronics industry, notably for their range of printers. At first glance, this range may not look too dissimilar to the printer you already have,however, digging a little deeper, you'll be astonished at the bigger picture.
Back in February 2012, we published an article entitled "Ricoh GelJet Printers to Replace GelSprinter Range". Despite the fact that it is now over 18 months old, it continues to be one of our more popular blog articles, along with the excellent "Understanding Liquid Gel Technology". Although GelJets aren't our biggest product line by any means, there are clearly plenty of you out there wanting to learn more about them, so we thought it was worth revisiting the subject.
Could inkjets be the future of printing? Epson's WorkForce Pro range is well established as a serious alternative to laser printers and HP's Officejet Pro X recently became the world's fastest desktop printer. Not to be outdone, Brother has launched the HL-S7000DN, a mono inkjet printer that will print at a staggering 100 pages per minute.
After cleaning up at the International Design Excellence Awards, Samsung is set to unveil three new concept printers at the IFA in Berlin. The consumer electronics show takes place between September 6th and 11th and will showcase the very latest in design and technology.
We're not ashamed to admit it and we've said it before – printers aren't very exciting. With so much emphasis on speed, running costs and functionality, printer design usually gets overlooked and we end up with armies of identical grey boxes. Fortunately, there are designers and engineers out there striving to get printers the attention they deserve and make them interesting again.
Printer design hasn't changed much over the years; while there have been huge strides in things like wireless technology, printers look pretty much the same as they always have. The manufacturing process hasn't changed much, either and is still complex, inefficient and expensive. Samsung is looking to change this, with three new printer designs which it says will be cheaper, easier and more environmentally friendly to produce.
Kyocera has just made wireless and cloud printing easier on its ECOSYS range. As of August 1st, four additional printers in its mono range now support Apple AirPrint and Kyocera has just launched Cloud Connect, which allows cloud printing and scanning from compatible MFPs.
BYOD is here to stay. 76% of enterprise businesses already support BYOD and companies that have embraced it are seeing tangible benefits. Improved productivity and flexible working practices have led to greater employee satisfaction and increased sales. If you want to take advantage and reap the benefits of enabling BYOD, Printware can help you get your print infrastructure ready for the change.
Creating unique and memorable design means having the freedom to go wherever your creativity takes you. There's nothing more frustrating than being held back by technology or lack of budget, so OKI's new white toner LED printers will come as welcome news to anyone trying to create stunning designs with limited resources.
BYOD is set to transform the way we do business and revolutionise workplace practices. If you're not already familiar with BYOD, the chances are that you soon will be. It stands for Bring Your Own Device and refers to the growing practice of employees using personal computing devices at work. 60% of companies say that most of their employees now bring their own devices - is your business ready?
PageWide is a technology from HP which is based around inkjet technology in so far as it uses ink tanks and a printhead to fire the ink onto the paper. It was developed from Edgeline technology, which uses a stationary printhead that spans the width of the page meaning that it can print incredibly fast.
Ricoh invented GelJet (formerly GelSprinter) technology, which is a hybrid between laser and inkjet printers offering a balance between print speed and image quality at an affordable price in a business environment. Gelsprinters use viscous Gel instead of ink, which dries instantly, is UV proof and Waterproof. Due to this technology, high speed printing is ensured even in duplex mode. Speeds are up to 30 pages per minute for both colour and black and white.
Dot matrix printers, also known as line printers, are generally used in more industrial or stores environments where quality isn't necessarily top of the agenda. They are by far the most robust of printers and are able to print on multi-part or carbon copy stationery using pre-printed "tractor-feed" paper. This technology is typically very noisy although sound dampening cabinets are available for office installations.
A laser (or LED) printer is a very versatile machine that is suitable for both home and office use. Text is always razor sharp and images are clean. Photo quality can be an issue at the lower end of the price bracket although even the most expensive laser can not compete with a decent inkjet for photo quality printing. Laser printers generally enjoy the lowest running costs although it may be worth considering an inkjet for light use.

Milwaukee lands grant to hire 10 more police officers
Milwaukee lands grant to hire 10 more police officers
A new federal grant will allow the city to hire 10 more police officers next year on top of the 100 officers Mayor Tom Barrett included in his 2014 budget.
Patrick Curley, Barrett's chief of staff, said the city received news that the U.S. Department of Justice had approved a new Community Oriented Policing Services grant of $1.25 million that will pick up roughly 54% of the cost of hiring the officers over three years.
Curley said Barrett would work with the Common Council to gain approval to add the additional officers next year.
Barrett has made public safety one of his top priorities in the proposed 2014 budget. His $1.44 billion budget will be considered by the council on Friday.
On top of the 110 officers, Ald. Michael Murphy says he will introduce a proposal on Friday to hire 10 additional officers to the department. Murphy said the money needed to pay for the additional officers would come out of the tax levy.
Murphy said hiring one officer costs about $65,000 a year in salary and benefits.
Murphy wants to have three police recruit classes next year: one class of 50 candidates and two classes of 35 each.
Barrett's original plan called for two classes of police recruits.
This year's budget called for 1,862 sworn officers on the force.
In a related development, members of the city's Finance, Personnel and Audit Committee on Wednesday approved a resolution that would transfer up to $425,000 from the city's contingency fund to pay for testing expenses for new hiring and promotional exams for police and firefighters. The council also must approve the resolution.

Ridgeguy, they need to work on their search engine. I tried to find several categories of very basic info and manufacturers and the search came up blank. It seems to be a lot less complete and more of a commercial site than "the Mother of all Sailing Websites" which actually is a great resource than the EverythingAboutSailing site. Do you work for the EverythingAboutSailing site?

By Juli Alvarez for Project Wedding
The new bridal collections left us breathless and wanting more...designers stopped at nothing to give brides incredible choices for their wedding gowns. Here are our top picks and top contenders for the key looks of the season.
Keep it Light:
The groom might have swept you off your feet, but this season's dresses will make you feel as if you are walking on air. Super weightless fabrics like chiffon, tulle and airy organza are the stuff that dreams are made of. Monique Lhuillier's collection is light and ethereal, her dresses float like clouds in layered yards of frothy silk tulle, chantilly lace and featherweight organza. Transparent corset bodices and sheer peek-a-boo panels are essential at Reem Acra, where layer upon layer of sheer mismatched fabrics co-exist to create a surprise at every turn.
Mother Nature:
Flowers were positively blooming in every collection with tiny buds, cabbage roses, sweet daisies and perfect peonies that adorned necklines, skirts, shoulders, trains and even entire gowns. Clearly the decoration of choice, designer Carolina Herrera went for drama in the garden with her pastel silk floral jacquard finale gown topped off with a straw boater trimmed in flowers and feathers. Christos appliqued and embroidered thousands of delicate flowers on dreamy romantic tulle gowns, making this youthful collection one of the best this season.
Return to Structure:
It's time to hit the gym again as designers declare a focus on the female form. Boned lingerie-esque bodices and slim, sexy columns appeared in many collections. Vera Wang has made lean, architectural shapes and tailored mermaids in silk faille and mikado a key look in her line, while Reem Acra draws attention to the bust and embraces the waist with her sexy satin and lace corsets. Designers as diverse as Elizabeth Fillmore, Mark Brower for Vineyard and Badgley Mischka are also cutting closer to the body while keeping the look refined and ultra-feminine.
Texture is the New Bling:
Forget about overly beaded dresses. Interesting textures and fabric mixes will make your gown special this season. The freshest looking dresses are draped, pleated, tucked and layered with a mix of soft and crisp fabrics. Rich, luxurious materials that are crinkled, folded and artfully draped are the staples of Vera Wang's collection which pushes wedding fashion into the future. Marchesa's Georgina Chapman adorned gowns with organic-shaped fabrics, like this simple crepe column with strategically placed pleated organic swirls.
Crystal Clear:
If beading is an absolute MUST for you, then look for those gowns that tread lightly with clear and iridescent paillettes. We adore the clear, crusty jeweled necklines and shoulders that give a subtle hint of sparkle like the refined, quieter beaded gowns from Jenny Packham, who usually goes for an all-out rhinestone riot . Try a shiny fabric like charmeuse dotted with light touches of Swarovski crystal, it's more sophisticated and gives just the right amount of glow, or add a sparkling belt that will give important definition to your waist while going for a touch of glam.
Color Wheel:
Color Wheel:
If white and ivory leave you feeling pale, designers have got an exciting new color palette for you this season. Black is back, but so is grey and navy is new too. These shades don't feel somber, they feel sophisticated and quietly chic. Need a brighter hue? Then look for warm shades of peach, blush, lavender and lighter blues. Lazaro's leafprint gown in bold dramatic shades of burgandy, plum and green would brighten up the darkest room while Oscar de la Renta gets highest marks for his extraordinary use of color. His painterly grass green peasant skirts, pink sheaths and navy tulle finale ball gown brought tears to our eyes.
Short, Shorter, Shortest:
Short, Shorter, Shortest:
Whether you are long and leggy or just scraping by at 5' 2," a short dress could be the perfect wedding day look. Designers like Amsale and Melissa Sweet proposed sixties style short sheaths and dresses with flirty skirts that are fun and dance-worthy. Marchesa gave us the shortest wedding dress ever and the newest of all short looks are the dresses that go from short to long. Our favorites are from Ines di Santo and Reem Acra. A short dress can also serve as the perfect second dress for your reception if one dress just isn't enough.
All good things must come to an end...
All good things must come to an end...
When the shows finally came to a close and all the dresses were packed up and shipped out, we took a moment to reflect on a stellar season of wedding fashion. Clearly, this is an exciting moment to be a bride. Enjoy every minute, soak up the attention, and add a little bit of fantasy to your look. Maybe it's a bohemian feathered vest over your dress, or perhaps it's a pale lilac sandal that stays hidden from view under your gown. Whatever you decide, there are so many wonderful choices this season that you'll want to say I DO again and again and again.

News Testing questions: Diane Schmitt, English language teaching academic
Diane Schmitt gives the lecturer's perspective on the role English language plays in university learning and teaching
Where do you work and what is the focus of your role?
I teach on an MA in English language teaching at Nottingham Trent University (NTU) where most of my students are international. I also teach English for academic purposes (EAP), mainly in-sessional at the moment. Historically, when my university had a very small scale international office, its English language entry requirements were set based on my advice. Now this role is mainly carried out by staff in marketing.
What is your involvement in English language testing?
My main role is outside my institution working with BALEAP, a global forum for EAP professionals. Prior to becoming chair of BALEAP, I was testing officer on its executive for five years and led a working party that developed a new set of guidelines on English language tests for university entry.
The aim was to raise awareness among admissions staff and decision makers in universities about how to select appropriate exams for assessing English language readiness for university. Essentially, the guidelines provide guidance on the right questions to ask about the validity and reliability of any given test in relation to making university admissions decisions.
How important are international students to your institution?
It's funny – I think that if you asked a range of different people at NTU, you'd get very different answers. In my view, although they are important to the institution overall because of the income they generate, they are disproportionately important to some schools such as the business school and the school of art and design where the concentrations of international students are much higher. Many postgraduate taught courses in the business school and our own MA wouldn't run without international students because there simply aren't enough British students recruited to these courses.
What helps an international student get off to a good start?
There are three things in my view. First, a good starting command of English and the realisation that actively studying English will need to be an ongoing element of their time at university. Many students (and universities) underestimate how slow the process of incidental acquisition is and mistakenly think that because they are in an English-speaking university and country now, the language will take care of itself. Unfortunately, there is plenty of research to show that this is not the case.
Second, attending a pre-sessional English course or some other induction programme that raises awareness of the teaching and learning culture of British universities. Ideally, students will experience study tasks like interactive 'lectures', seminar participation and source-based writing as well as reflect on any differences in teaching and learning cultures betwen the UK and their home country and ways to bridge those differences.
Third, the university recognising that transitioning to a new level of study in a different educational culture and doing this through a second language is a long-term process and has in place a range of support and monitoring systems so that students know they won't be left on their own to make sense of this new environment.
Why does a good level of English matter to university study?
This is easy. Nearly everything the student will be required to do on a university degree will require using language and in an English-medium university that language will be English. Even in practice-based courses like art and design and computer science, at least some of the work assessed will require the use of language.
If students are going to get the maximum benefit from their studies, they need to be able to fully understand lectures, classroom and groupwork discussion, and assigned and independent reading. Any lack of understanding they do experience really should be because they are struggling to get to grips with new content or specific disciplinary ways of talking about the world, not because weaknesses in their language create gaps in understanding.
How does this play out in your own teaching?
I have a student now who works really hard and makes a real effort to contribute to class discussions; however, nine times out of 10 when she answers my questions in class, her answers don't match the questions I've asked because of weak listening skills. Unsurprisingly, she's struggling. As a student interviewed for my friend's PhD said, just "getting the gist" isn't good enough at university.
The same applies to students' contributions to class or groupwork discussions, assessed presentation and written work. While it is not necessary for students' language to be error free, it is important that students can express themselves clearly and concisely. It's no use being the smartest person in the class, if you cannot convey your understandings and ideas to others because of a lack of language resources.
University lecturers will often say that they "read through the language" to get at students' ideas, but it is unlikely that students will achieve all the marks they deserve for their ideas if the marker has to work extra hard to get at them. Although language, in the sense that English teachers and testers think of it, is not always included in assignment marking criteria, the ability to communicate ideas normally is as this is a key graduate attribute.
When did you first encounter English language tests?
I started teaching EAP back in 1990 when I began working for Temple University, Japan. The students in our intensive English language programme had to get a 500 on the TOEFL test to be able to enter the universities undergraduate programmes. This was my first direct contact with high stakes language assessment.
I was also aware of TOEIC and other local Japanese tests but it wasn't until we moved to Britain in 1994 that I saw the range of English language tests on offer and that English language assessment is big business.
Do higher education professionals know enough about this area?
There's always been a fair amount of confusion across the sector about what types of tests can provide useful information in university admissions process. A current example is ensuring that all universities recognise that just because a test is on the UKBA's list of secure English language tests doesn't mean that it is suitable for assessing language skills for university.
We illustrated what types of information to look for by reviewing several widely used tests and present on our guidelines at UKCISA, HEA, UCAS and other sector events. I'll do almost anything to get the word out.
What I'm really interested in now is applying the same level of scrutiny that we have to external tests to university developed assessments, particularly end of pre-sessional or foundation programme assessments to ensure that both students and universities are getting valid information about students' readiness to progress to degree study.
What does the future look like for international students at UK universities?
The demand for international students at UK universities is likely to continue to be strong, despite the introduction of much higher tuition fees for UK students. Happily, in most universities, students are likely to receive an increasingly positive experience with regards to language preparation and support as more and more universities are introducing or further developing their EAP provision.
More than 70 UK institutions are BALEAP members and the number of EAP teachers attending professional development events or setting up local networks is rising. There is a real effort within BALEAP and the HEA's Teaching International Students project to carry out more research into the international student experience and to feed the findings into teaching practice – this can only be for the good.

The 7 Best Ways to Beat Election Stress
Posted: 21 Oct 2016 07:59 AM PDT
Election Day is less than a month away. For many Americans, that day can't come soon enough—for the sake of their mental health. A recent survey from the American Psychological Association (APA) found that 52% of American adults say the 2016 election is a somewhat significant—or very significant—source of stress in their lives, regardless of whether they're Republican or Democrat.
"I think many people are shocked, saddened and stupefied by how hostile and out of the traditional bounds this has been," says Joan Cook, an associate professor of psychiatry at Yale School of Medicine and TIME contributor. "Some seem to be caught up in the furor and are joining in the hate speech. And that certainly seems to be scaring or terrifying others."
All of those feelings of anger, fear and stress can take a toll on the body. Stress can tense muscles, cause nausea and dampen a person's libido. Bouts of severe emotion cause the body to initiate a stress response that can spur blood pressure and inflammation, and chronic stress can cause lasting problems.
"If you have one argument between now and the end of the election with someone, and it lasts for five to 10 minutes, you'll have a stress response but it will go away," says Lorenzo Cohen, director of the integrative medicine program at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. "But we aren't talking about one or two arguments. People could have arguments [about the election] every day."
Thankfully, there are ways people can deal with election-induced angst and feel better over the next few weeks. Here are 7 expert-backed tips:
Restrict your news intake to a reasonable amount. "Reading the news in print and generally limiting consumption during national crises allows people a measured dose of what is happening," says Cook, "but seems to decrease one's susceptibility to get over-engaged or overwhelmed." If the constant coverage is affecting your mood, sleep or ability to work, Cook recommends setting aside times during the day to check the news, and leaving it alone outside of them.
Take three deep breaths. It's a recommended practice in types of meditation and faith-based traditions, says Cohen. Breathing deeply helps lower levels of stress hormones and can cause biological changes in the body that have a calming effect.
Maintain a healthy routine. "During times of stress, individuals may not feel like themselves," says Cook. "Having a set organized schedule can put familiarity and controllability back in place." Keep up your normal routine, and don't forget to engage in healthy behaviors like eating well, getting enough sleep and exercising.
Reserve some mindfulness minutes. Meditation is a well-studied method to ease stressful emotions, and a 2015 study showed mindfulness meditation can be as effective as exercise at lowering stress. You don't even have to sit still to do it. Other research has shown that doing everyday tasks like washing the dishes can have similar calming effects, as long as you do them mindfully.
Try to have meaningful discussions about the election. "If you're able to keep your cool and your perspective, and you know the other person can as well, then great," says Cook. "Discuss away, and be respectful. Seek understanding, not blame or trying to change someone else's mind. Honesty and communication are the keystones of healthy, close relationships."
Know when—and how—to stop yourself. Not every chat about the election is going to be smooth sailing. It's ok to disengage. "If we can't listen empathically and genuinely try to understand others' perspectives, we might want to, at least for now, stay clear of these kinds of conversations," says Cook. If a discussion isn't going to be productive, set a boundary and say, "'No thanks, I'd rather not discuss the election,'" Cook recommends. If a person continues to want to argue, try this line: "'I do not want to discuss the election with you. I find it very upsetting. And if you keep bringing this up, I'm going to have to walk away, hang up and temporarily stop our correspondence,'" says Cook.
Send good vibes to people of a different political party. More meditation, but this time with a twist. Cohen recommends a type called loving-kindness meditation, during which people send good wishes to others. Start by sending them to someone you know, then someone you feel neutral about, then a person you struggle with—someone you've been arguing with about the election, for instance. "Send out love and kindness to that person," he says. "We are all human beings, and elections will come and go, but our relationships with other people are more important."
How to Buy Healthy Food Without Reading the Nutrition Label
Posted: 21 Oct 2016 07:06 AM PDT
Vegan? High-fat? Gluten-free? So many of my clients complain about how difficult it is to keep up with what's healthy these days, especially when it comes to buying anything packaged. Most aren't sure what to look out for on nutrition labels, and are often surprised when I give the thumbs-down to a product they thought was a smart purchase.
To help with this struggle, I advise my clients to keep it simple when it comes to deciding if a product deserves a place in their grocery cart. Here's my easy-to-remember three-step strategy for choosing and enjoying the best packaged foods.
Look at the ingredients first
In my opinion, the most important thing to look for is clean, whole-food ingredients. In other words, if a product's ingredient list reads like a recipe you could make in your own kitchen, I consider it "homemade for you," and generally a nutritious bet. Meanwhile, a product that is low in carbs, contains fewer calories, or more fiber—all things that many people equate with "healthy"—may actually be heavily processed and contain unwanted additives that serve no purpose in the body. So first and foremost, be sure to choose quality products based on ingredients, not marketing claims and numbers.
Health.com: The Best Things to Buy at Whole Foods, According to Expert Foodies
Categorize your foods
Once you've purchased a clean, nutritious product, figure out what food group it fits into. A bag of frozen broccoli florets, for example, counts as a veggie, while canned wild salmon as a protein, pre-made guacamole as a good fat, and frozen, pre-cooked quinoa as a starch. Once you know where a food fits, you'll be able to build it into a healthy meal or snack. That's important, because even if a food is very healthy, eating it in excess can interfere with energy, weight management, blood sugar regulation, and other health goals. I've had clients tell me they feel okay about eating an entire bag of popcorn in one sitting because it's low in calories. But here's what they didn't realize: the calories are low per serving, but an entire bag of popcorn packs the carbs and fat of four slices of bread and nearly four tablespoons of oil.
Customize your portions
I don't believe in counting calories or grams. Instead, I focus on simple meal-building strategies based on portions.
Nearly everyone should include veggies, lean protein, good fat, and wholesome carbs in their meals, but the amounts vary depending on height, age, sex, and physical activity level. A tall man needs larger portions than a petite woman, and a person who goes for a 5-mile run every day requires more food than someone who rarely works out.
Health.com: This is How Much Protein You Really Need to Eat in a Day
So let's say you've purchased a healthy pasta, like buckwheat soba noodles, or penne made with brown rice or pulses. If you're a petite or older woman who is going to be sitting in the hours after dinner, that pasta should be considered a meal accent, perhaps in a portion even smaller than the serving size stated on the package. A younger, taller man who is about to start the night shift of a physically demanding job, on the other hand, can afford to eat multiple pasta portions at dinner to meet his body's greater energy demands. In a nutshell, this approach really comes down to balance and customization.
Next time you're feeling overwhelmed at the grocery store, just remember to choose high quality, clean ingredient products, understand how they fit into your diet, and tailor your portions to your body's needs. If you follow these three steps you don't need to get caught up in comparing calorie counts, grams of carbs and fat, or percentages. And you won't fall into the trap of overeating your healthy buys.

Think Twice Before Posting About Your Kid Online, Pediatricians Say
Posted: 21 Oct 2016 04:50 AM PDT
More than 90% of two-year-olds already have a presence online, and about one-third first appear within their first 24 hours of life. Now pediatricians are to warn that parents should be more careful about how often—and what— they post about their children online.
A new study into the issue, which will be presented Friday at the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) 2016 National Conference & Exhibition, will recommend that parents often need to be more careful about protecting the online identities of their children, becoming familiar with the privacy policies of the websites they post on and never sharing their child's location in a post.
The authors will suggest that parents should give their children some agency over their social media identity by giving the kids "veto power" over photos and other posts about them.
"Parents often consider how to best protect children while the child is using the internet," said Bahareh Keith, director of the pediatric global health track and an assistant professor of pediatrics at the University of Florida College of Medicine. "However, parents–including myself, initially–don't always consider how their own use of social media may affect their children's well-being."

Six-Year-Old Pakistani Girl With Rare Genetic Disease Awaits U.S. Visa
Posted: 20 Oct 2016 07:30 PM PDT
(COLOMBO, Sri Lanka) — A desperate Pakistani family anxiously awaiting a U.S. visa for their ailing little girl is running out of time: Maria is just six years old but a rare genetic disease has left her frail body wracked with pain and stunted her growth.
Soon she will be unable to walk because her vertebrae are compressing her spinal cord.
A U.S. hospital has offered to perform a surgery for free that could significantly improve Maria's quality of her life, but the American Embassy in Islamabad has so far twice refused to give the family visas to travel to the United States, said the girl's father, Shahid Ullah speaking to The Associated Press by phone from Rawalpindi in Pakistan.
When he submitted a visa application again, he was told it will "take time," he said. Frustrated and frightened, Ullah has now turned to an American lawyer, Facebook and the media for help, starting a campaign he says could be his daughter's last resort.
The surgery in the U.S. has been scheduled for Nov. 2 and Ullah is pleading with anyone who will listen that Maria's "case is different."a
"If we delay Maria's surgery, there will be too many problems," said Ullah, who runs a small store selling blankets in the town of Rawalpindi, near the capital of Islamabad. He said Maria has to be in the United States by next Wednesday for pre-surgery tests.
He said he embarked on the tortuous quest to find help for Maria nearly four years ago, researching her condition, sending her blood and urine samples to laboratories in India and Germany, connected with families of children with the same disorder, known as Morquio Syndrome.
Through the internet, he tracked down doctors with expertise in Maria's condition and families with children who suffer from the same disease from countries as far as Chile, Britain and America steered him to the Nemours/Alfred I DuPont Hospital for Children in Wilmington, Delaware.
"From all over the world parents with children with the same disease helped me, they were so kind," he said. Families with children like Maria also rallied behind Ullah and began crowd funding on Facebook .
Unlike in previous attempts to get a U.S. visa, when Ullah applied for the entire family and was told U.S. authorities feared they would not return to Pakistan, this time he said he only applied for a visa for Maria, himself and his wife. He plans to leave his other two children, a 7-year-old daughter and a 2-year-old boy, behind with relatives during their stay in America, which is expected to take five months.
"I don't know what to do . . . who should I contact," he says. "Maria is in a lot of pain now … she can no longer hold a pencil or a pen."
U.S. Embassy spokeswoman Fleur S. Cowan declined to comment on Maria's case, citing privacy laws, but said she would look into the matter. In Washington, the State Departments said visa records are confidential under U.S. law and that it could not "comment on the specifics of an individual visa case."
The Delaware hospital first reduced the cost of the $100,000 surgery to $82,000, Ullah said, but when it was clear he could not afford it, the Nemours Foundation said it would cover the full cost of the procedure.
"The hope is to do the surgery for the child . . . without any cost to the family," said Chris Manning, who is with the Nemours Children's Health System public relations department, adding that the hospital has done multiple surgeries such as the one required for Maria.
He added that the hospital also sent documentation to the embassy in Pakistan to facilitate Ullah's visa application.
Melissa Harms, a California lawyer, offered to help pro bono when she heard of Maria's troubles from a client whose child has the same disorder.
"I was appalled," she said. In an email to The Associated Press Harms said that housing for the family in the U.S. has been arranged and "the airline tickets have been donated."
"All of this will go to waste if we can't get these visas approved this week," she said.
This Is What Happens to Your Body When You Stop Exercising
Posted: 20 Oct 2016 12:37 PM PDT
There comes a point in almost every fitness lover's life when they consider throwing in the towel after a workout—both figuratively and literally. Blame it on your looming work deadlines, or the stubborn needle on the scale, or even just plain old boredom.
That's normal. But here's why you shouldn't follow through on the temptation to just quit: There are plenty of benefits to exercise, but they're not permanent. In fact, many of those hard-earned gains will start to disappear in as little as two weeks, says Farah Hameed, MD, a sports medicine physician with ColumbiaDoctors.
Here's exactly what you can expect to happen to your body if you give up exercise:
Within 10 days: Your brain might start to change
For years, researchers have suspected that exercise is good for your brain, too—according to one 2013 review, it might be able to help offset age-related memory loss. Now, a new study in the journal Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience found that even a short vacation from your workout might cause changes to the brain.
In the study, when a group of long-term endurance runners took a 10-day exercise hiatus, their subsequent MRIs showed a reduction in blood flow to the hippocampus, the part of the brain that's associated with memory and emotion. The researchers point out that although the runners didn't experience any cognitive changes over the period, more long-term studies are needed.
Within two weeks: Your endurance will plummet and your vitals may spike
After just 14 days, you might have a harder time climbing a flight of stairs or keeping up with your colleagues during the monthly kickball game. The reason you're so winded? Skipping sweat sessions causes a drop in your VO2 max, or the maximum amount of oxygen your body can use. It can dip by about 10% after two weeks, says Dr. Hameed. It only gets worse from there: After four weeks, your VO2 max can drop by about 15%, and after three months, it can fall about 20%—"and those are conservative estimates," Dr. Hameed notes.
Staying even slightly active can help: One 2009 study found that male kayakers who took a five-week break from their training saw an 11.3% drop on average in their VO2 max, while those who worked in a handful of exercise sessions during each week only saw a 5.6% drop.

Even if you don't notice a change in your speed or strength, you might experience a sharp rise in your blood pressure and blood glucose levels—something that could be more serious for people with diabetes or high blood pressure, says Dr. Hameed.
Researchers from South Africa found that a two-week exercise break was enough to offset the blood pressure benefits of two weeks of high-intensity interval training; another 2015 study in the Journal of Applied Physiology found that people who did an eight-month bout of resistance and aerobic exercise saw an improvement in the blood glucose levels, but lost almost half of these benefits after 14 days of inactivity.

Within four weeks: Your strength will start slipping
Dr. Hameed estimates that some people will notice their strength declining after about two weeks of inactivity, while others will begin to see a difference after about four weeks. The silver lining: Our strength probably diminishes at a slower rate than our endurance, and one 2011 study in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning found that when one group of men stopped doing resistance training, they still had some of their strength gains up to 24 weeks later.
Within eight weeks: You might gain fat
Dr. Hameed estimates that people will start to notice a physical change—either by looking in the mirror, or at the number on the scale—after about six weeks. Even elite athletes aren't immune to the rebound. A 2012 study in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research found that competitive swimmers who took a five-week break from their training experienced a 12% increase in their levels of body fat, and saw a boost in their body weight and waist circumference. (We should also point out that these athletes weren't totally sedentary—they still did some light and moderate exercise.) And a 2016 study found that elite Taekwondo athletes who took an eight-week hiatus from exercise experienced an increase in their levels of body fat and a decrease in muscle mass, too.

That said, there's a difference between breaking up with exercise for good and taking a well-intentioned rest. The distinction: "You need to do some type of activity [every day]," says Dr. Hameed. For example, maybe you just ran the Chicago Marathon and can't run another 16 miles, let alone 26—in that case, says Dr. Hameed, you should do some cross-training. (Think: cycling, using the elliptical, or even light walking.) Just don't quit moving altogether—your body, brain, and waistline will thank you.

STD Cases Reach a Record High in the U.S.
Posted: 20 Oct 2016 11:10 AM PDT
There were more cases of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) in 2015 than in any previous year, according to new data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The agency's annual report showed that rates of chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis—the country's three most commonly reported STDs—increased between 2014 and 2015. This marks the second year in a row the rates of these diseases have increased, reversing a previous trend of declining rates.
The largest increase came in reported cases of primary and secondary syphilis, which increased 19%, while gonorrhea cases rose by 12.8% and chlamydia cases rose by 5.9% since 2014. The more than 1.5 million reported cases of chlamydia represent the "highest number of annual cases of any condition ever reported," according to the CDC.
"We have reached a decisive moment for the nation," Dr. Jonathan Mermin, director of CDC's National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention, said in a statement.
Young people and gay and bisexual men face the greatest risk of becoming infected with a STD, according to the CDC report. Americans 15-24 years old accounted for nearly two thirds of chlamydia diagnoses in 2015. Men who have sex with men accounted for the majority of new gonorrhea cases and the majority of primary and secondary syphilis cases.
The CDC said STD testing is vital for people who are sexually active, and the new report includes screening recommendations for women under age 25, pregnant women, and gay and bisexual men.

Very clean and well furnished house. Layout with beds means its perfect for a group of people sharing.
Enjoyed the stay. Also when we asked if we could check out 1 hr late the manager obliged. I wished if they had basic supply of coffee and sugar which they did not. But it was manageable since stores were close by
We had an excellent stay! I came to visit Pismo beach which was about a 5 minute drive from the house. Had a few spiders here and there but nothing too major. Overall had a fun time and enjoyed our stay there. Thank you so much to the owners for the hospitality and the quick replies to my questions. Possibly looking into booking the same house for the next time we visit!
We enjoyed the home as well as the place.
We had such an amazing time in Oceana. The house was so relaxing, bright and very clean!! Very spacious with all the amenities. Just blocks away from the beach and minutes away from shopping. The perfect getaway for the family. There is something for everyone!! Kitchen was fully stocked and plenty of counter space and sitting areas. Already looking forward to our next visit!!!
We stayed here for a month while doing some scientific research work at Oceano Dunes. After long days working outside in the wind, dust, and sand, this house was the perfect refuge for us to relax and get ready for our next day of work. The house was clean, peaceful, and up-to-date. The sofas and beds were very comfortable, and we had everything we needed in the kitchen. In addition, the large garage space was very useful for us as we assembled and managed our scientific gear.
The location just off of Highway 1 was also super convenient. We were less than a five minute walk from Efren's and Sylvester's, offering the best Mexican food and burgers, respectively, within the Five Cities area! There was also a convenience store and fresh produce within walking distance. I was concerned that noise from the nearby train tracks might be an issue, but the trains don't come very often and they were never loud enough to wake me up from my sleep.
My interactions with the owner and property manager were always prompt and courteous. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone coming to stay in the Oceano Dunes / Five Cities area!

They are taken to a place of refuge... sort of.Mature
Rani's feet pounded the pavement as she ran through the streets of Garblen Doch with Toma on her shoulders. She heard the increasing din of the angry mob of citizens behind her, all of them calling for her brother's immediate death.
Toma whimpered into her ear, "Please put me down, Rani. Leave me or they'll punish you too. Please don't sacrifice for me."
She wanted to tell him that she would do anything for those she loved, and that no sacrifice was too great for him, but her lack of breath made her head throb with each heave of her lungs and made her throat completely inoperative. Rani was not athletic, and carrying an eleven year-old boy, frail as he was, was taxing beyond her endurance.
She ducked down an alley and tried the back door to the town's only pizza place, a crappy little dump called Enrico's. The door was locked.
"Come on," she pulled Toma deeper into the alley, to another door. It too was locked.
"Damn it!"
The angry tumult of the approaching mob made her ears tremble. She wasted no time in looking to the alley's opening; she knew they were there. Tears coursed freely down her cheeks now, and a desperate mantra frantically repeated itself inside her head: Please, please, please ,please!
The next place was the back of a hardware store, complete with loading dock. "Up here," Rani told Toma as she slid him under the hand rail. She grabbed the cold metal bar and hoisted herself over it, but her muscles twitched belligerently from their misuse and she plopped unceremoniously on her ass with enough force to snap her teeth painfully shut. She ignored the pain and rolled to her feet, took the remaining couple of steps to the bay door and prayed someone had forgotten to lock it the night before.
But of course it was locked.
She tried to control her frustration, but failed. With clenched teeth and flowing tears, she shouted up at the heavens, "Just one lousy piece of luck! Please!"
She rattled the door, but it would not give. She whirled to see what appeared to be the entire population of the town careening around the corner at the end of the alley. Desperation took control and Rani's head spun around in search of an escape route.
Naturally there was none. Whose stupid idea was it to escape into an alleyway?
Fine. That's how it was going to be, apparently. She and her brother would make their last stand there on the dock as the clouds rushed past the mid-morning sun. Rani leaned Toma against the door, then turned to face the mob. She was so scared that her head swam and her knees wobbled, but her face was resolute and her fists were defiant at her sides. She would take as many of them with her before they could get to Toma.
Adrian was at the front of the pack as it came to a stop at the bottom of the steps. He looked up at Rani, and suddenly Rani's panicked eyes saw the townsfolk as wolves surrounding their pitiful prey before they lunged in for the kill.
"Rani, please stop running. You're trapped," Adrian said, "give us the boy."
"'The boy' has a name," she spat, "he is Toma! And he is my brother!"
"He's a Vamp, Rani. We have proof."
"He is an innocent eleven year-old boy, and if you touch him I'll kill you."
"See if I don't!"
Adrian stood tall in his cream colored linen suit and wiped one hand through his luxurious hair, "Jesus, could this day get any more frustrating?"
And then, to those standing beside him, "Go get them. Get them both and bring 'em back to the town common before the flames die down, would you?"
It was as if the mayor's son had yelled "CHARGE!" New energy breathed venom into their cries as the mob reignited and charged up the steps. Rani knew she didn't stand a chance against the onrushing tide of murderers, so she retreated until she backed her hip against the dock door with a THUD. The handle dug into her and she cried out and whirled upon the door with all the anger any fifteen year-old had any right to possess. She slammed her palm against the metal with a resounding SLAP and tried the handle again.
Still locked.
Her teeth gritted tightly behind her lips, she leaned into the door and focused her attention on the key hole just beneath the handle in her grasp. She quietly swore at it and suddenly it disintegrated, and she and Toma tumbled inside. Rani closed the door and knocked the drop bar into place with her elbow, just as the crowd slammed into the other side of the door. She screamed as the door creaked with strain, but both the door and the drop bar were made of heavy gauge steel, and it held.
At least temporarily.
But for how long?
Rani knelt down and brushed her fingertips through Toma's wild mane of dirty hair, "Are you all right?"
He nodded but mumbled, "Gonna be sick."
"I'm sorry, Buddy."
He threw up, paused a moment, and then tried to raise himself to his hands and knees. Rani helped him to his feet and asked, "How do you feel?"
His eyes were too somber. They carried with them the incredible weight of acceptance when he responded, "Won't be long now, Sis."
"God damn it, don't talk like that. Let me think of something."
Toma remained quiet, but though his body was failing him his mind was as sharp as ever. The real question here was: RANI, HOW IN THE HELL DID YOU JUST BREAK THROUGH A LOCKED STEEL DOOR WITH NO TOOLS OR EQUIPMENT?
Which was interesting because that was exactly the question on Rani's mind.

Corporate politicians and journalists have a few favorite lies about capitalist globalization. When challenged on the desirability of neoliberal trade agreements or international financial institutions, they generally claim the following: one, globalization benefits everyone in the long run, two, even if globalization hurts some workers in the developed world, it helps poor citizens of developing countries, and three, opponents of globalization are just narrow-minded xenophobes who care more about nationalism than their own well-being. These arguments are clever rhetorical strategies for corporate liberals in particular, because they frame the debate over capitalist globalization as one between enlightened and compassionate (yet realistic) liberals on the one hand and racist, immigrant-hating conservatives on the other. With this framing, they avoid addressing any arguments that challenge capitalist globalization on different terms: in particular, the arguments of socialist internationalism.
By socialist internationalism, I mean a Left perspective whose goal is the liberation of the global working class and an opposition to both divisive nationalism and neoliberal globalization, which, in reality, is an empowerment of global capital at the expense of working people in all countries. A socialist internationalist perspective emphasizes labor and environmental rights rather than the rights of capitalists to move financial capital at will or the rights of corporate owners to export jobs. The issue of off-shoring provides a useful example of the difference between proponents of neoliberal globalization, xenophobic nationalism, and socialist internationalism. Though right-wing nationalists (such as Donald Trump) may oppose trade agreements like the Trans-Pacific Partnership, their opposition to globalization stems from a racist antipathy towards immigrants and a nationalist disregard for the lives of those outside one's own country. Clearly these beliefs are incompatible with any socialist conception of solidarity, and socialist internationalism rejects absolutely the belief that the lives of one country's citizens are somehow more valuable or precious than any other country's citizens. However, this should by no means cause socialists to embrace capitalist globalization, which promotes the extension of corporate power across national borders in order to exploit the working class of all countries. A socialist internationalist perspective emphasizes solidarity between working people across national borders in opposition to the global capitalist ruling class.
Because of the relative weakness of the Left in terms of actual governmental power, the goal of socialist internationalism can sometimes be forgotten in fights over specific international policies. This was very clear in the recent debate over whether Great Britain should leave the European Union (EU). Much of the Left considered this a choice between the lesser of two evils, and for good reason. The EU is widely seen on the Left as a corrupt and undemocratic neoliberal institution that serves the interests of the European capitalist ruling class. And even those EU policies celebrated by many on the Left, such as its open immigration policy within Europe, are exposed as hypocritical when one considers the immense barriers to immigration to get into the EU itself from outside countries, such as those in the Middle East where so many refugees come from. In addition, the Remain campaign was led by right-wing figures such as Prime Minister David Cameron, whose conservative corporate policies have been completely antithetical to the social justice principles that Leftists subscribe to. Given this, it would seem clear that the Left should have supported a break with the EU and the capitalist power it represents. However, the Leave campaign was overwhelmingly led by right-wing xenophobes such as Boris Johnson of the Conservative Party, and the referendum on EU membership was essentially transformed into a referendum on whether to reject migrants. And given the relative power of the Xenophobic Right versus the Left in Britain, a successful Leave vote would likely enhance the power of racists rather than open the possibility to advance reforms that would benefit the working class. (As seems to be happening at the moment). This posed a serious dilemma for the British Left, as both the Leave and Remain campaigns seemed to represent reactionary outcomes undesirable for anyone wishing to build multiracial working class power. The reason this choice was so distasteful for anyone on the Left was because it was a decision between neoliberal globalization and xenophobic nationalism, with no third option representing a socialist internationalism that would reject both transnational capitalist power and racist nationalism.
The American presidential candidates also embody, to some extent, the three different perspectives on the global political economy. Hillary Clinton, despite her newfound rhetorical opposition to the TPP, is one of the clearest examples of a politician who unequivocally embraces neoliberal globalization in all its various manifestations: rejection of restrictions on capital's ability to move freely across borders, opposition to efforts to protect domestic industries from unbalanced competition, and many other such measures. Donald Trump, in contrast, embraces wholeheartedly the rhetoric and policies of xenophobic nationalism. His opposition to trade agreements such as the TPP and NAFTA arises out of a belief that American workers and American business should be protected at the cost of foreign business and, especially, foreign workers. He pits American workers against the racially "otherized" foreign workers, whose gain is seen as an unequivocal loss for domestic workers. Bernie Sanders, in his opposition to the TPP, resists this xenophobic rhetoric and instead emphasizes the tendency of corporate elites to use trade agreements to accelerate the "race to the bottom" in wages and living standards around the world. Out of these three candidates, Sanders certainly comes closest to embodying the values of socialist internationalism, but even he has the tendency to speak of corporate globalization as something afflicting American workers rather than the global working class as a whole.
To some extent, the difficulty that even committed Leftists have in speaking about socialist internationalism is due to the lack of concrete ideas about what such a policy would entail. Admittedly, it seems somewhat naïve to imagine what such a future would look like because of the current overwhelming control of corporate elites in shaping the international economic architecture. However, it is vital for socialists to know where we want to go so that we do not fall into the trap of simply opposing policies with no alternative to offer. So what would socialist internationalism actually look like? Ultimately, the goal should be the complete democratization of the world economy, with technology and resources directed towards liberating the poor and working classes of all countries. This is an important aspiration and should always be kept in mind. But a single country, even one with a socialist government in power, cannot achieve this on its own. Therefore, until the global balance of class forces changes dramatically, socialists should push for an international economic policy that places the poor and working classes of all countries ahead of profits for corporations. This should include high standards for labor rights, social safety nets, and environmental protections, and should make these requirements enforceable. A socialist internationalist foreign policy should also preserve the rights of developing countries to protect domestic industries in order to produce shared, equitable growth, but should remove the barriers that allow drug companies to charge obscenely high prices for drugs that could be sold much cheaper as generics. Finally, socialist internationalism should embrace immigrants and refugees from all countries while working to improve conditions in their countries of origin, so that they have no reason to flee their homes in the first place. These are just a few rough outlines of a policy of socialist internationalism, which encompasses a far wider range of actions and goals. However, any socialist perspective on the future of the global economy should keep these policies in mind while remaining firmly in opposition to both neoliberal globalization and xenophobic nationalism.
A renewed commitment to socialist internationalism, and a focus on the solidarity of the global working class against transnational capital, would go a long way towards clarifying the goals of socialists everywhere. The struggle against capitalism cannot be fought on narrow territorial grounds, and nationalism only serves to disguise the true allies of the working class. The Irish Marxist James Connolly was correct when he wrote: "The socialist of another country is a fellow-patriot, as the capitalist of my own country is a natural enemy." However, 21st century socialists should expand this notion and state unequivocally that the socialist and worker of another country is a fellow ally in the struggle against an increasingly global capitalism.

Indians' softball hopes to upset the field
In Scott Mall's mind, drawing Lawrence Free State for a first round sub-state opponent was as tough as it could get for the Manhattan High softball team.
Free State enters into the Washburn Rural regional on Wednesday with a 12-7 record and a spot as the No. 4 overall seed.
The scariest part for the MHS coach, is the unpredictability that comes with a team that plays so many schools out of the Olathe area.
"They play some excellent competition in their league with the Olathe teams that are always competing at state," Mall said. "You never know about them, no matter their record you know they have faced some really tough pitching. Every area is different so the pitching they see is different than what we see. You never know how things are going to work out, it's just whoever gets the best matchup."
The winner of that game is likely to face 17-3 Washburn Rural, which will open with the winner of a game between a pair of winless teams in Kansas City Schlagle and Leavenworth.
The Junior Blues handily beat the Indians (10-10) during a doubleheader at Topeka on May 4, and Mall said it might have still been bothering his team in the regular season finale last Tuesday — a doubleheader that was swept by Topeka High.
"It was a tough time because we had just gotten done losing to Washburn Rural and I don't know if we were quite over that yet when we played Topeka High," he said. "We tried to stress from the Washburn Rural games out that it's about the postseason now. All of our goals are still ahead of us to accomplish."
The Indians have struggled in games when timely hits and errors have hurt them in the form of big innings for their opponents.
Last Tuesday, Topeka High used just that, MHS' defensive errors and timely hits for the Trojans, to put together big innings in each contest that made it tough for the Indians to keep pace.
Mall said the key at regionals is to avoid those things, while getting a little bit of it coming back their way.
"One, you have to be able to shut down the big innings, and two you have to be able to score," he said. "We've done it at times, and you would like to play that way every game — hopefully we can do that on Wednesday."
