Remarks by Congressman Sam Johnson
March 1, 2002
Good Morning, Let's start this program with a very scientific survey.
I know it's scientific because I'm convinced that this is how the pollsters do it, so it must be accurate.
Please raise your hand up high if you have heard about someone who has lost their retirement savings because of the collapse of Enron?
Raise your hand if you think that Congress would be smart to empower employees and employers to help prevent another Enron?
Looks like most of us are on the same page.
I think that's because we believe that Americans want, need and deserve to retire with a nest egg, not a goose egg…
I've been working as the voice of caution…and the voice of conservatives in the U.S. House of Representatives to help all Americans have a secure retirement.
For those of you who don't know I'm the only member of the House who serves on both the House Ways and Means Committee and the Education and the Workforce Committee, and I chair the subcommittee with jurisdiction over ERISA and pension issues.
And I will tell you this: I am completely opposed, and will focus my remarks on those in the Senate, who are calling for a government takeover of America's voluntary pension system.
I am sick and tired of the liberals trying to protect Americans from themselves.
America was founded on freedom and free enterprise.
That includes the freedom to decide your own future without the government swooping in to decide it for you.
Americans are smart, innovative, productive and hard working.
They don't want the government to be the center of their lives.
Let's take a quick look at the last time the government intervened into a private, voluntary pension system.
They were called defined benefit plans.
Maybe you haven't heard of them, that's because the federal government got involved and regulated them to death.
Now they are practically extinct.
I am not saying the government doesn't have a role, but we must have a smarter government that helps, not hinders innovation in the private sector.
I have never known the government to create or produce anything that the private sector hasn't already done better…, smarter…and sooner.
It's not secret that Washington is usually five years behind…they don't call it bureaucracy for nothing.
Therefore, I'm confident we can find a way to protect voluntary employee retirement accounts without over-burdening the voluntary employer-based system.
By and large, we have found defined contribution systems to work very well as a means for saving for a secure future.
I have heard from many who are concerned that well-intentioned legislative tinkering would be harmful to the voluntary contribution system that has helped the baby boomers save for their golden years.
One problem with the current system that seems to get lost in the headlines is that only about half of the employees in America are covered by a retirement plan.
One reason that many employers don't offer retirement plans is that they simply cannot afford to.
The costs stem from well-intentioned government regulation that simply prevents employers from setting up and maintaining a plan.
This is one area I intend to address in my subcommittee.
In addition, the failure of Enron has revealed some areas of concern when it comes to retirement plans – especially:
We have learned that too many workers lack access to meaningful information about their retirement savings, especially quality investment advice, on how to invest their hard-earned savings.
It is important to note that one goal we have been working on has been helping people "Save Smart" for their retirement.
Without a doubt, investment advice should be part of that.
And the U.S. Senate is holding that bill hostage. I believe you heard Mr. Kennedy trashing this very idea yesterday.
I don't know why because when a pilot prepares for a trip, he doesn't leave without a flight plan with hope he reaches his final destination.
No, he studies. He learns. He plans. He plots. He prepares.
And if the destination changes, he changes course. It's that simple. Just with retirement – if you fail to plan, you plan to fail.
Second, we have also learned that while so-called "Blackout" periods are common in plans, workers may not have an adequate understanding of blackout periods…
Or enough advance notice to adequately prepare for them.
As you know, this time is critical for people wanting to withdrawal money from the system to pay for a down payment on a house or a child's education.
The President believes that employers and management should have to play by the same rules when it comes to selling stock during black out periods…
What's good for the goose is good for the gander.
Additionally, in the wake of Enron, we have all seen the tragic outcome of putting all your eggs into one basket.
That too is part of "Saving Smart."
As I pointed out at a hearing recently though, some company stock is pretty well diversified simply by the wide range of products and services it sells.
Just look at Proctor and Gamble or G.E.
Third, please know that I am vehemently opposed to mandatory diversification in 401(k) plans.
There are any number of reasons why the U.S. Government should not take a heavy-handed view of 401(k) investments.
James, a constituent of mine, who devoted much of his career to Texas Instruments, told me that he made a comfortable retirement possible by investing 100% of his 401(k) contributions into company stock at opportune times.
He bought IT stock when it was a good deal…and didn't when it wasn't.
He also had defined benefit pension plan as well as other investments.
Looking at his total portfolio, James was comfortable with the risk level.
I don't think that any government should tell James that we know more than he does about his retirement portfolio.
That's just plain wrong!
Some Democrats will argue for caps on the amount of any single asset in a retirement plan.
They argue that because the system is "tax subsidized" that they have the right to substitute the government's judgment for that of the individual.
Isn't it ironic that the person in the Senate arguing the loudest for mandatory diversification is heavily invested in Goldman Sachs?
But then, I am not a subscriber to the belief that every penny someone earns is the property of the government's and that we just let you keep what we don't tax.
At our hearings, we also have heard about many employees greatly benefiting from voluntary company contributions or matches to employee retirement accounts.
These company matches to employee contributions are important for several reasons.
I have heard from many who are concerned about the three-year diversification right mandate upon employer contributions.
Specifically at Enron, we know that employees had 20 different investment options, including Enron stock. These investments could have been traded on a daily basis.
We also know that employees watched the value of their company stock fall from $80 a share to about $14 before the 'Blackout Period" began.
When trading reopened, the stock was worth roughly $10 per share. It was after that that the stock fell quickly to the point of being removed from the New York Stock Exchange.
While I don't profess to be a financial manager, what we had in that instance was probably a case of S.E.C. fraud and the pension plan fiduciaries not doing their job by providing plan participants with accurate information on the company stock.
As you know, at least three class action lawsuits have been filed to get money back to plan participants and I believe that we will see some litigation by the federal government as well.
Throughout the hearing process, I have been committed to vetting the pros and cons of retirement plan changes.
That way, when we do legislate, after hearing all sides, we address only problem areas.
We also must not unintentionally harm a retirement system that, again, has worked remarkably well for two decades - helping millions of people…
To that end, I along with Chairman Boehner introduced President Bush's Pension Security Act.
The Pension Security Act is the first step toward creating a consensus that can eventually be signed into law and will help restore worker confidence in the nation's retirement security and pension system.
I know you've heard a lot about the President's plan, so I'll only highlight what his proposal does to remove obstacles to saving and to increase pension security.
His plan gives workers the power to choose how to invest their pension assets.
It gives workers access to professional investment advice to help diversify & protect their savings.
While these are ambitious goals, we do not take our responsibility lightly to help Americans save for the time they no longer have to show up for work everyday.
As we consider all of the many proposals, we must be mindful not to jeopardize the retirement savings of millions of American workers at the hand of over regulating.
In closing, please know that I will be the voice of caution and conservatives as Congress embarks on the road to retirement reform. Thank You.

A national referendum is the only means of establishing, beyond any dispute, whether or not the death penalty should be reintroduced.
All the letter-writing, media headlines and nattering on will do nothing but create exasperation and annoyance.
For those who worry that the conviction could be later found to be wrong, worry not. With all the appeals and re-trials that would inevitably occur, it would be many months, if not years, before any sentence would be carried out. More than enough time to establish the truth.
Just do not try to convince me that imposing a death sentence is "un-Australian" or "cruel" or anything else. The criminal act itself provides more argument for a death penalty than anything anyone could possibly say.
The sooner a national referendum is held, the sooner we can cease all the blatherskitting.
Geoff Cass, Tewantin (Qld), August 10.
Reading the letters from the self-righteous moral crusaders blasting John Howard for his support for the death penalty, I wonder how many among them screamed at the same man to send in armed troops to Timor to deal with murderous militia and their counterparts?
Frank Davie, Long Jetty, August 11.
The killing of another person is against the law, both moral and legislative, and no government is above the law. Deal with it.
Alan Lander, Black Mountain (Qld), August 11.
The way I see it, there are two main arguments against the death penalty. The secular argument is that the state should never have the power of life or death over anyone - regardless of what crimes the defendant has committed.
The Christian argument is that the Bible clearly states "Thou shalt not kill". I hope these arguments are compelling enough to prevent the death penalty ever being considered in this country.
David Skidmore, Dulwich Hill, August 11.
I live in Missouri, which has the death penalty. The death penalty isn't revenge and probably isn't much of a deterrent. It is just the proper sentence for murder. If a person murders, then they should forfeit their life.
Rickey Brock, Lilbourn (US), August 11.
Responses to the Amrozi death sentence by our elected leaders highlight a morality that points to a serious erosion of our national values.
The Prime Minister, John Howard, and the Opposition Leader, Simon Crean, each say they oppose the death penalty but neither will act to stop executions.
Mr Howard and the NSW Premier, Bob Carr, said the reason they oppose the death penalty is the risk of mistakes. This suggests that if they could be sure the right people were being killed there would be no problem - no values, just risk avoidance.
Mark Latham's dehumanising public references to an individual as an "evil little bastard", while attractive to the populist media, create an environment that devalues human life.
Earlier this year the Government joined a coalition willing to kill Iraqi people; responses to the death of Saddam's two sons were equally disturbing.
When 353 people drowned as a result of the SIEV-X sinking off the Australian coast, our Government's concern was to avoid responsibility rather than mourn the tragic loss of life.
As Australians, we see ourselves as a nation that holds the sanctity of human life as a core value. Our political leaders appear to have abandoned that national value.
Harris van Beek, Turramurra, August 11.
Of course, Mr Howard wants us to debate gay marriages and the death penalty.
It means that people forget to ask the important questions. Like: why can we afford to invade Iraq, when we can't afford decent salaries for teachers?
Peter West, Bondi Junction, August 11.
As a cloak of fear, anger, hatred and violence hangs over Australia, under the watchful eye of John Howard, I am led to wonder: aren't we supposed to be free from this?
Jeremy Moses, Ainslie (ACT), August 11.
Tony Abbott's recent opinion that terrorists are attacking only Western civilisation is rubbish. International terrorists attack anybody who disagrees and resists their quest to spread fundamentalism across all civilisations, Christian and non-Christian alike.
The trouble with Mr Abbott is that he thinks Western civilisation holds the high Christian moral ground. But the human race as a whole will make progress only when we recognise that fundamentalism and extremism exist in all societies, and take action accordingly.
If we cannot admit this, international terrorism will always be with us.
Richard Slater, Berowra Heights, August 11.
It is fascinating to observe the attempts of secularist media to come to terms with the rise of conservative, evangelical Christianity. It is so apparent that the prefabricated boxes intended to categorise this group simply don't fit - a point alluded to in Paul Sheehan's article ("Derided, ignored and unstoppable", Herald, August 11).
Are they fundamentalist extremists? Or are they conservatives who stand in the way of progress? Are they radicals, about to split the Anglican communion because they refuse to shut up? Or are they a reactionary rump, who just want to stay in their '50s time warp as the rest of civilisation moves onward and upward?
This utter confusion is magnified by regular, and intellectually incoherent, attempts to lump biblical Christianity in with the "extremists" of other religions. The extremists of Islam kill people. The extremists within Christianity, as represented by the Jensen brothers, never do worse than merely irritate.
Why? Because they insist on talking about Jesus' forgiveness and love in a way that fails to fit the canons of political correctness. One extremist kills you. The other tells you how to be right with God by being forgiven. The secularist media must learn to spot the difference, or we will all suffer the consequences.
Gordon Cheng, Gladesville, August 11.
It is interesting to note a characteristic of Christian fundamentalists ("Move to split church after gay bishop approved", Herald, August 11). For generations the theological views of these ultra-conservatives within the mainstream churches have ruled almost totally.
There has never been an attempt by the liberals within these churches to split the church because of it. They have simply worked from within for change, but have accepted the voice of the ruling majority.
The ultra-conservatives have no similar interest in compromise. No surprises therefore that they also preach a theology of intolerance and hatred for the "other".
Les MacDonald, Balmain, August 11.
Peter Jensen complains that although he graduated from Oxford University he is "still treated as a redneck".
Attendance at Oxford would not diminish the redness of the neck. A redneck at matriculation is still a redneck at graduation.
Phillip Musgrave, Chatswood, August 11.
How to interpret the PM's latest 'never'?
John Howard says "there's a very strong probability ... that Sydney will never need a second airport," and that "the current airport can handle the traffic out to about 2020" ("PM buries second airport",Herald, August 11).
Once again the PM who brought us the GST is displaying his creative use of "never". Does that mean that Sydney will be destroyed by an asteroid around this time or will our single airport be rebuilt or expanded?
Thalia Struve-Broughton, Lilyfield, August 11.
So citing technological change and larger, less frequent jet landings, John Howard joins the corporate chorus proclaiming that Sydney's airport can accommodate tripled passenger numbers and doubled aircraft movements over the next 10 to 20 years.
And we are truly meant to believe that such a plan is not driven by economies of scale for the airport's private owners and the increasingly used convenient toll roads attached to it?
As for the plan's long-term unsustainable pollution, health, noise and environmental effects on the inner west: we presumably just hold our breaths.
Tony Archer, Earlwood, August 11.
Ads won't save ABC
No, Robert Manne ("Supporters of the ABC might have to open their arms to welcome a new friend", Herald, August 11), the answer to the ABC's funding crisis is not to introduce between-program advertising.
For the ABC to retain its great tradition for investigative journalism, it cannot be put into a position by an advertiser which could inhibit or compromise its ability to report fully and factually. In any case, whatever funds the ABC might attract in advertising revenue would be smartly deducted from the ABC budget by the Government in the next round of triennial funding.
We do, however, agree with Mr Manne that the independence of the ABC board, free from political appointments, is absolutely essential. This has been a platform of the Friends of the ABC for some years.
Gary Cook, President, Friends of the ABC (NSW) Inc, Balmain, August 11.
Round-the-clock need
That these convenience stores are an inconvenient eyesore is a given ("Clock ticks for 24-hour stores", Herald, August 11). That their design, lighting and minimum distance from each other should be regulated is a good idea. That there is a huge demand for them is obvious.
Why, then, should they not operate on a 24-hour basis? There is no more "anti-social behaviour" around these stores in the wee hours than there is around any pub, club or city department store during conventional business hours.
Fred Jansohn, Rose Bay, August 11.
Support for merger
As the parliamentary service head of the Department of the House of Representatives, and one of the blokes to whom Alan Ramsey referred in his article ("Merging with the real world", Herald, August 9-10) commenting on the proposal for a decrease in the bureaucracy serving the national Parliament, I wish to register my total support for the amalgamation proposal.
I understand the parliamentary service heads of Joint House Department, the Parliamentary Reporting Service and the Parliamentary Library have expressed similar support.
Ian Harris, Queanbeyan, August 11.
It's his home, after all
In lamenting the use of Kirribilli House as the venue for Melanie Howard's engagement party, Trevor Sheridan (Letters, August 11) ignores the fact that it is the Prime Minister's family home for the time being and, it seems, for many years to come.
John Howard is clearly doing such a good job that some find it necessary to play the man's children instead of the ball.
Peter S. Dare, Mosman, August 11.
All needing help welcome
The Cancer Council NSW rejects claims made in the article ("Patients put in computer bind", Herald, August 7) that we would "no longer service clients who would not consent to the computerisation".
The Cancer Council provides many services to patients, including a helpline. The only service which records any personal details is our peer support service, Cancer Council Connect.
The CCC database allows us to match newly diagnosed cancer patients with a trained volunteer who has had a similar cancer journey to theirs. The service provides emotional support to almost 3000 cancer patients each year.
We would never deny service to any client who did not want to be on the database.
There are a number of alternatives available to any clients who feel uneasy about computerisation with the CCC service. The suggestion in the article appears to have come about as a result of a misunderstanding.
Tens of thousands of people come to The Cancer Council NSW every year for support and advice. I would like to reassure them that they can do so in complete confidence, and anonymously, if they wish.
Gillian Batt, Acting Director, Health Development, The Cancer Council NSW, Woolloomooloo, August 7.
Seems irrational to me
I would like a rational explanation as to why we are paying to install a man in a purely figurehead position who then swears allegiance to the Queen, and to do his duty to her, and not to Australia and its citizens.
Eliot Cohen, Roseville, August 11.
New spin on story if they're in the picture
Let's hope Shane Warne ("Text pest claims hit Warne's comeback", Herald, August 11) hasn't upgraded his mobile to one of those video phones.
Kevin Rugg, Beaumaris (Vic), August 11.
Is there anyone out there, apart from me, who hasn't received a text message from Warney?
Stephen Driscoll, Carlingford, August 11.
Is Warney suffering from a lack of ball control?
Warwick Russell, Dulwich Hill, August 11.
The art of seduction is not what it used to be, but it is still hard to believe many women would give a man their phone number just because he said "You have a nice-looking arse."
Mustafa Erem, Terrigal, August 11.
Showing poor taste
I was greatly amused by Bernard Zuel's pompous and patronising review of the Queen musical We Will Rock You ("Flash and fun, but hollow at heart", Herald, August 11). Sounds like one of those shows everyone hates. Except the audience.
Steven Harrison, Balmain, August 11.
Moving heaven and earth
Could your film experts explain how "at a stretch" it can be argued that the 1967 movie Camelot affected the Kennedy administration ("More hype than history", Herald, August 8-9)?
J. Stringer, Keiraville, August 11.
Hungry for knowledge
With the Kama Sutra being the second-most-stolen book from Russian supermarkets, J. Archer (Letters, August 11) wants to know what the No1 choice is. Before the downfall of communism, I believe it was The Joy of Tractor Maintenance. These days I think it's How to Find Food in Supermarkets.
Paul Stevens, Chatswood, August 11.
Welcome return
Seven lines from Ted Matulevicius (Letters, August 11). It was like seeing an old friend with a beard for the first time.
Ron Elphick, Buff Point, August 11.
The sands of time
Ah, the memories (Letters, August 9-10). At a beach on the Isle of Wight in the late 1950s the standard dress for the mature English male was a handkerchief knotted at each corner and worn as a hat, grey flannel trousers rolled to just below the knee and a white shirt, collar detached, with sleeves rolled to just above the elbow. All this to paddle in very cold, shallow water on a rocky beach. But it was fun.
Edward Richards, Amaroo (ACT), August 11.

EU court strikes down Iran sanctions
By Benjamin Fox
The EU second-highest court has deleted sanctions against seven Iranian firms and one man accused of collusion in a nuclear weapons programme.
The verdict, issued by the Luxembourg-based General Court on Friday (6 September), said EU governments failed to make their case.

It said they "had not proved the facts" on which they blacklisted Post Bank Iran, Iran Insurance Company, Good Luck Shipping and Export Development.
It said the facts on Persia International Bank, Iranian Offshore Engineering & Construction and Naser Bateni, a former Persia International Bank director "do not by themselves justify" sanctions.
It also said the EU "breached the obligation to … disclose" its evidence against Bank Refah Kargaran.
The rulings will not take effect for at least two months, pending a possible appeal by EU governments, which could delay the process for up to one year.
Meanwhile, the court upheld sanctions against the Hamburg-based Europe-Iranian Investment Bank (EIH), and Melli Bank, Iran's largest financial institution.
In the case of Melli Bank, which is also the largest bank in the Middle East, with over 3,300 branches and 43,000 employees, the court said it had "ensured that scholarships were paid on behalf of the Atomic Energy Organisation of Iran," adding that this "constitutes support for nuclear proliferation."
It noted that "transactions carried out by EIH on behalf of designated Iranian entities justify the adoption of restrictive measures against it."
The EU and the US have imposed freezes on assets and financial transfers upon on a series of banks and companies in recent years in a bid to put pressure on Iran to fall in line with UN demands on nuclear transparency.
EU governments have also banned trade in Syrian oil, other petrochemicals, precious metals and gems.
The Iranian government says it is only seeking to develop nuclear technology for civilian use.
Speaking at a meeting of EU foreign ministers in Vilnius, the bloc's foreign affairs chief, Catherine Ashton, said she would meet with Iranian foreign minister Javid Zarif on the margins of next week's UN general assembly in New York to restart nuclear talks.
"We've got some good proposals on the table," she said.
"We are always willing to listen to good proposals from Iran. We really want to move quickly to resolve this," she added.

Who do I believe?
We have an approximately 1800 sq.ft. home that I just had the furnace and A/C replaced in last summer. It now has a Trane 12 SEER 3-ton A/C unit and a Trane 79k BTU variable speed 2-stage furnace. I am building an addition and adding approximately another 1400 sq.ft. I've had two HVAC guys out to bid on my job. One says that the existing system is big enough to handle the additional square footage and that he is proposing to only add duct work and install a zone control system for the existing and new areas. The other HVAC guy says that it is not big enough and is proposing adding a heat-pump, (installed in the attic), to heat and cool the new third level of the house. For obvious reasons, there is a HUGE price difference here. Whom do I believe? Neither will share their manual J-calcs with me but both swear they have done them and that they substantiate their respective proposals...
Did you ask the original installer? They would be the ones I would trust. They have made their money and know the unit the best.
Dave, I doubt if the return airs and vents are the proper size for the larger area. Need to check air flow.Are you going to be using the new area all of time or would zone HVAC be a better choice. For a lot of reasons, I would look at a separate unit. How is the corrent unit woprking for the house now? How long does it run between cycles.
How cold does your area get in the winter time?
Did the furnace run more times than it was off last winter?
When was the house built?
How thick are the current walls? (4,6,8"...)
What R-value does the current walls and attic have?
Do you have high efficient windows?
What will the R-values of the new addition be?
Heat loss/gain calculation
There's only one way to know for sure. Have the contractors perform an ACCA Manual J heat loss/gain calculation on the existing house (which should have been done when you installed your new equipment) and with the new addition. Believe me, the numbers don't lie! If they can't provide this, then they must be guessing...at your expense.
I have a 2600 sq ft house and four ton ac. It aint big enough by at least a ton. Your are going to have a 3200 sq ft house on three tons. I have no idea where you are but if your area is even a little like the Texas gulf coast I bet you will need another three tons.
I would get an engineering firm that does building inspections to do an appraisal of your project (it will cost a little, but they have no interests other than yours)
your bank or city department should be able to recommend one
there are just too many variables to try guessing from my desk
Neither. Try this, it will take some effort, but you asked.

Hey! Mommy just formed a new group on flickr.com. It's called "Dog Expressions" - you can post photos of dogs with visible facial expressions and tell us what your dog seems to be saying. Happy dogs, smiling dogs, mad dogs, innocent looking dogs, playful dogs, fierce dogs, sleepy dogs, regal dogs, goofy dogs, frowning dogs, confused dogs... all are welcome!
Check it out:
Dog Expressions
We just moved to a new house within the same city. Mom says it has a better location, so I ask her: better for humans or for dogs? It's farther from my off-leash park, so what's so good about the location??? Well, actually it doesn't make much difference because I get my walks as usual, and mom still takes me to my old park every once in a while. Of course, I marked the new house once - just one of each deed (the two p's, big and small he he) to let everybody know the house is mine. Now, I'm back to my regular "do it outside only" schedule. Mom put my favourite seat right by the window as I specifically asked her, which is so very thoughtful of her. To show my appreciation, I did not make any trouble when mommy and daddy left me alone in the house. I know that mom was afraid I might revert back to my separation anxiety days. It's just a new house mom, not a new family and a whole new life; what makes you think I can't handle it? I have to admit, though, that I had trouble with the spiralling stairs for a while, but finally today I overcame my fears and started to go up and down, up and down with ease. Still, it makes me think the architect may not have been dog-friendly. Overall, I guess I don't mind the change as long as I'm with mommy and daddy and auntie. Besides, mom asked my opinion regarding this matter beforehand, and I said... well, as long as you don't make me go through the stress of moving, carrying stuff, settling and all that, I'm fine. So, mom left me to my doggy day care on the day of moving. Boy, I had so much fun! I don't really understand why the lady at the day care calls me a monkey just because I LOVE playin'. I'm just a dog that likes to have some wicked fun! You might think I was selfish for not sticking with mom and dad on that day, but really, a dog my size is not good with carrying stuff, anyway. So, I guess that wraps it for today. Tomorrow mom's taking me to the park, and then to the pond. I'll hang out with my doggie friends. Talk about a good life! I can't wait!!! Woof!!!*wag tail*
Today we had quite an adventure, and I must say I acted in an unusual way. I was looking out the window and started barking like a mad dog all of a sudden. When mom looked, she saw an off-leash dog trying to cross the street on her own. Needless to say, she was worried, so she quickly called for daddy and we all went out to catch the dog. When mommy and daddy got a hold of the dog (they used me to get her attention!!! We played around a little, and then they caught her), they told her what a good dog she was, and looked at her tag and called a number. In the mean time, mom went back home and got some water and some treats, and gave them to the dog. I was good and patient even though I resented the fact that mommy forgot to give me treats and used my water dish for her. Mom thought they needed a leash for the dog until her owners came, so she went back home and brought my second leash. When she put her on leash, I suddenly got jealous and barked and lunged at the dog. Dad was holding me and he told me to shut up and behave :( I have to admit I acted irrationally, but this was too much. Was this dog trying to sneak into our lives and get all of mom's and dad's attention? Why were they showering her with praises, treats, and MY stuff??? I was just worried. Mom was shocked because normally I get along with every dog and when another dog barks at me I just back up and whine. She has never seen me show teeth, not even once (nor did I do it this time; I was barking but I wasn't showing teeth). I am not a possessive dog, either. I share my toys and even my food with my dog pals, and never react badly when mom pets other dogs in the park. Then again, I know they're my pals - this dog just appeared out of nowhere and it looked like mom and dad were replacing me or something! I guess I just wanted to let everyone know that I was there and needed some attention, too! I was all smiles when the owner of the dog came and took her and we returned back to our normal life. Mom is worried that she's been spoiling me too much, and so I'm beginning to act like a brat, but no, I swear this was a one time situation and will never happen again. I am a good boy and always will be. Besides, they're forgetting something: I was the one who warned mommy about the lost dog!!!

Beginning teachers' perceptions of their tertiary education preparedness for teaching
Hudson, Sue M. & Hudson, Peter B. (2006) Beginning teachers' perceptions of their tertiary education preparedness for teaching. In Australian Teachers Education Association, July, Freemantle, WA. (Unpublished)
|PDF (70kB)
Retention rates and stress levels of early-career teachers are of concern (Williams, 2002), as is the relevance of preservice teacher preparation courses (Ramsey, 2000). Hence, reviews of Australian teacher education continue with calls for national enquiries that aim at devising more effective tertiary education programs (Green & Reid, 2004; Landers, 2005). This qualitative, year-long study gathered data through email correspondence and telephone interviews on eight first-year beginning teachers' perceptions of their tertiary preparation for teaching. Data indicated that although they felt "Organising a classroom", "Relating to students", "Understanding duty of care", "Planning and implementing a program", and "Teaching across six key learning areas" were well covered in their tertiary programs, "Catering for individual differences", "Employing a range of teaching strategies", "Relating to parents" and taking on leadership roles appeared to be insufficiently addressed. There appears a need to provide connections between tertiary education preparation for real-world contexts by facilitating diverse experiences in rural schools and more emphasis on the practical aspects of teaching during tertiary education programs. These programs must reflect the needs of beginning teachers with research informing the decision-making processes for devising more relevant preservice education courses.

TRANE HVAC breaker turning off
Our Trane HVAC breaker keeps turning off after awhile. It runs for about a few hours and then breaker turns off. Well this morning it about 25 degrees and it ran all night @64 degrees and then it turn off again. I flip the breaker and it ran for 10min and breaker turned off again. Any thoughts?
Is this a heat pump or gas furnace?
MIght post a model number of the system's big parts to help the pros.
from the circuit breaker out to the condenser and into the air handler check all electrical connections and look for dis colored insulation at the terminal wires the bigger loads are the resistance heat and the condenser running defrost and they should be seperate one for the condenser and one for the air handler/electric heat....? which is tripping.
Sorry its a Trane Heat Pump TWE048C14,0C,FC. The breaker that is tripping is connected to the air handler.
Your breaker could be weak or if you have electric heat something bad in it's wiring.
Experience tells me more than likely its a motor going bad.
Have you been keeping up with your filter changes, cause if the motor over heats it can cause a an intermittent short in the motor windings that will only show it self when it has run and warmed up. ,
Ok. That's a good point but if i just turn on the fan only, it runs fine and is'nt the blower motor?
Also notice that the AUX HEAT comes on for awhile then goes away.
The blower in the house is different from the motor in the compressor outside; that is what hvac5646 was writing about.
Ok there two breaker boxes. One for the handler (which is tripping) and the one outside for the heat pump (that one is not tripping). So which motor are you talking about? The handler or heat pump?
your air handler.
Ur Aux heat is turning off before it hits stat set point? if so than they could be tripping on safty. that will trip a breaker if they are cycling on limit.
Wire gets hot and the breaker opens.
Is the breaker warm to the touch after tripping?
Thanks HVAC5646. No, the breaker box is not warm at all. That was first thing i checked. That's why I'm confused. So its possible that the fan motor is getting ready to go?
Can you get the house (inside one) fan to run if you set the thermostat to Fan Run or Fan Only or Fan On (whatever is on your thermostat)?
Does the fan motor make any noises or try to move when you do this (might take two people; one to switch thermostat and one to listen)?
just run the fan from the sta see if he breaker trips if it dows shut the service switch at the air handler and touch the suplly fan motor isit hot on the frame...if it doesn't trip then it's your resistance heat section tripping the breaker...and short cycling on a auto limit might be overheating the elements filter and squirrels cage fins in fan section are clean
If the short is deep in the windings it could take hours of run time to trip.
An amp meter or a watt meter connected to the motor would be able to read the current when it starts to peak. Dead. short would trip the breaker instantly.
Thanks biggles. I'll try that first and run the fan only and see if it trips the breaker. So where is the "resistance heat section" located? Where is the rest of stuff your suggesting that may be causing the tripping?
Also the fan doesn't make any noise. Sounds normal. And it may take hours before it may trip again. :(
Can some point out the location what "biggles" talking about?
Voltages inside of your air handler range from as little as 24 volts to as high as 440 volts potential. Any technician that was to work on your unit would need at least 4 years of education, experience and training. When a breaker trips repeatedly it means that there is a SERIOUS electrical problem occurring, within the circuit.
Are you willing to risk the well being of your home and family to save a few bucks on a repair or your homes primary heating system ? I suggest that you go no further and you call a professional, if you chose not to take my advice then I bid you good luck.

"The pictures I chose turned out great. They arrived 3-4 days earlier than the date given to me on the confirmation e-mail. I've already had 4 compliments on them from family/friends who have received an invitation. I definitely plan on using tiny prints again in the future."
"Loved the quality and got so many good compliments on it. Very reasonably priced and timing was just as they specified, if not a little sooner than I thought."
"I ordered these for my b/g twin's first birthday party (I ordered the yellow one to be gender neutral). I included a hospital photo and a photo for each month of the year 1-11. It turned out fantastic. I wish there were a little more room for some of the pictures to fit, but the design team helped me make it work pretty well. Fantastic idea for a first birthday and super cute invitiation."
"I really love how we were able to include a picture from every month of our daughter's life. I think the invitation becomes a keepsake for the grandparents! I have gotten lots of compliments!"
"It is very easy to customize! Love being able to see baby grow through the pics! Pictures printed out perfectly! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT!!!"

/// The Things We Left Behind
December 14, 2012 | All Things Digital
We get bullshit turf battles like Tumblr not being able to find your Twitter friends or Facebook not letting Instagram photos show up on Twitter because of giant companies pursuing their agendas instead of collaborating in a way that would serve users. And we get a generation of entrepreneurs encouraged to make more narrow-minded, web-hostile products like these because it continues to make a small number of wealthy people even more wealthy, instead of letting lots of people build innovative new opportunities for themselves on top of the web itself. – Anil Dash , in a post on his personal blog, entitled "The Web We Lost"

Meanwhile, it's imperative that federal agencies move quickly to free as much of their health care data and research information as possible to help ensure that new innovative health applications being developed are based on science, Shaikh said, speaking at the Health and Human Services Department's Health Data Initiative Forum held on June 9. The conference was organized to highlight HHS' Health Data Initiative activities to make its data easily available to application developers to spur innovation.
Consumers could be hurt if the underlying health data in their mobile application is weak and not supported by research, he said. For example, a recent study that evaluated 47 iPhone applications aimed at helping smokers to reduce their tobacco use found that very few of the applications were evidence-based, Shaikh said.
Rising to the challenge of mapping health data
HHS starts sharing health care data
The implication of the study was that by failing to follow scientific guidance on best practices, the iPhone applications may be ineffective in helping consumers.
"We want to focus on science," Shaikh said. The goal is to make HHS scientific data and research freely available to application developers so that the developers have the most accurate information when creating new and innovative products.
The institute will offer cash prizes for the best application in integrating new technologies into existing systems to prevent, detect, diagnose, and treat cancers, Shaikh said. The challenge is named "Using Public Data for Cancer Prevention and Control."
The institute is offering four prizes of $10,000 each for winners of the contest.

WHy am I not surprised when I read, "The study performed at George Washington University concluded that the iPhone applications for smoking cessation sold in 2009 "rarely adhered to established guidelines." Very few of the iPhone applications recommended treatments that have been proven effective. " After all, the iphone is marketed by a firm that is excelent at blowing smoke..

Aha, I was trying to think of a clever way to do that (I love doing the whole angels n demons upside down thing) but unfortunately I'm not sure you've really got it. It's difficult to make out (mainly the 'o') and gray on black doesn't do justice to the coolness of the design

Re: Two-ransformer
It looks like some kind of alien language, but it's not, I swear.
Ok, so I'm an Arabic Linguist, and as we all know (hopefully!) the number system that we use today are taken from Arabic numerals and this was the key factor in the advancement of math sciences as it replaced the cumbersome Roman numerals back in the day. So my idea here was to show the transformation of the original Arabic number 2 (top most shape, which most people would describe as a backwards 7) into the number 2 we know (and love) today at the bottom.
Now, if you tilt your head to the left, and if you know how to read (a very obtuse and stylized) Arabic, the extra markings added to it spell "Ithnayn" which is how you say "two" in Arabic. Magic!
Very cute hewtab... I love lovebirds, and this is adorable, I noticed it in the other thread: )
I see what you did there.
Someone needs to boil these bunnies already.

Tell me you're kidding...
Star Wars stuff will get a rejection. As it is, this doesn't make sense.

Thanks! I'm hoping for tens of votes with this one. It may appear on Cafepress in 60 days because my wife really wants this.
Re: Depending on your taste, this design can be interpreted in several different ways. If your a romantic
it could symbolize 2 love birds finally realizing that the writing is on the wall. They need to be together forever. For another group it could represent 2 birds stumped at the size of bird that must of left a dropping of this size, that just happened to land in the shape of a deuce. For the younger crowd this design could answer the question, how many birds are represented here? Whatever your interpretation is, I have it on good authority that it was Timmy from 2nd street marking his territory. Graffiti or Deuce?
The trees remind me of dr. seuss's truffula trees : )
It looks amazing

Agreed. I like the style of the whole design too.

FLASHBACK: Bill O'Reilly Accuses NBC Of Being A "Fifth Column" For Putin
Blog ››› ››› ERIC BOEHLERT
The confusing alliances continue to pile up as conservative media rush to criticize President Obama's foreign policy with regards to Syria and belittle his call to possibly use military force in the wake of allegations the Syrian government gassed its own people. Faced with the prospect of supporting a president they hate for a living, some formerly hawkish commentators, as well as members of Congress, have suddenly turned dovish and are relentlessly criticizing Obama for his call to use force.
Now with the news that Russia is a key player in a diplomatic initiative embraced by Obama to get Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to dismantle the country's chemical weapons, another colossal shift has occurred within America's right-wing media. Fox News and much of the conservative media are touting Vladimir Putin as Obama's superior. They're toasting the Russian president's superior smarts, marveling at his macho persona (a "He-Man"), and claiming he's making a fool out of Obama.
Fox security analyst K. T. McFarland this week suggested, "Vladimir Putin is the one who really deserves the Nobel Peace Prize" for rescuing the administration from "the mess" it had created. Ann Coulter appeared on Fox and repeatedly referred to Obama as Putin's "monkey." And yes, Matt Drudge recently touted Putin as "the leader of the free world."
Not surprisingly, Fox News wasn't always so affectionate towards Russia's president, a former KGB agent. And conservative commentators especially didn't feel so warmly about him when a Republican was in the White House.
In fact, Fox News' Bill O'Reilly in 2008 lashed out at America's so-called liberal media for giving Putin too much positive coverage. Specifically, O'Reilly denounced NBC for acting as Russia's "fifth column" in the U.S.; of being secret sympathizers of a foreign government [emphasis added]:
With a network like NBC, Vladimir Putin has a fifth column right here in the good old USA. But most Americans understand that Putin is a villain, a former secret police killer who's intent in imposing Russian influence on border countries.
O'Reilly himself has remained consistent with his disdain for Putin this week. (i.e. He's "a scoundrel.") But as he watches so many of his Fox News colleagues fawn all over the Russian leader, is O'Reilly ready to label the channel another fifth column in the good old USA?

I have a 1982 cabby with a 1.7l 141,508+- since the odometer just stopped working when I got the car last year and I never got to fixing it.
I am looking for a sale or trades but no projects!
Car had been painted with white rustoleum with a roller.Doesn't bother me and looks ok for roll on job but could use a real paint job. car is originally silver.
The car has a new gas tank, fuel filter, fuel lines at the tank, I will include injector seals and idle adjustment screw seals just because I have them. I have done valve cover gasket, new spark plugs, oil change less then 100 miles ago, will come with another oil change as well, new headlights, new front side marker wiring harness since old ones were cut up and hacked, new never used and not installed factory radio out of an 1984 jetta, new antenna, throttle cable grommet, throttle pedal grommet, mirror gaskets, many other things that I can't think of right now that may come up as I think of it.
Things it needs/things that are wrong
odometer stopped working- never fixed this
needs a top- I never drove it with the top up so never worried about it. Now comes with a brand new top!
the oil pressure switch is reading pressure funky sometimes its reading at 10 bar and sometimes its normal. the motor runs like a top and oil pressure is good just needs a 10 dollar switch.
radio doesn't work because the antenna is not hooked up and needs to have the new radio I will include wired up Will include a new factory digital radio Brand new never installed from a Mk1 Jetta
heat doesn't work- never bothered me never looked into it.
everything else works and car runs great
I also added a grill spoiler and raceland coilovers that have maybe 300 miles on them. car will come on factory 13" steelies with chrome caps or for an additional price I can include the set of smoor roadsters I have for sale as well that I had refinished.
The car Im asking $1,500.00 for picked up but not sure if your looking for closer or not NEW PRICE $1,300!
smoor wheels I am asking new price $1,100 plus shipping!
Cabriolet clipper kit $150 with all hardware painted white
If you take everything off my hands I will ask $2500 or if you have a nice trade to throw at me lets talk mk2 or 3 but I do not want a project no time or money to put into a project.
here are some pictures
tires have been cleaned up and steelies painted brown
oil pan
I have a bunch of other parts laying around that will all go as well along with the sale, I just need it all gone and I need money with the new baby on the way. Thanks for looking

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
I am getting used to riding in the car, as I don't remember ever being in one since I was found as a stray & lived in the shelter for over 2 months! I love going for walks, and I've learned that if I sit before the door opens, I get a treat! YUM! I have been in elevators & tried on doggy clothes. I like them both!
I have met some new dogs on my walks, & I must say that I am a perfect gentleman. Also, the cars speeding by don't bother me when I'm on the sidewalk. I haven't seen any squirrels yet, but I am very curious as to how those birds fly! I sit nicely & let my walker talk to her friends when we go outside.
My loves? My antler, squeaky toys, and lots & lots of belly rubs. I like to be near you, & I really enjoy soft beds!!! :0)
I think I would enjoy a home with a brother or sister; of course, I would definitely not mind loving you all by myself!
Tyson, a Atlanta Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) for sale in Atlanta, or seeking a Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) dog from a breeder in Atlanta.

Bottjer: Whoever wins Boxcino will establish himself as a world-class fighter and title contender
ESPN's "Boxcino" tournament has been a critical success so far. One of the men behind the scenes responsible for identifying much of the talent that has been on display is Banner Promotions matchmaker Eric Bottjer. Bottjer has been one of the most distinguished boxing matchmakers for the better part of two decades, signing and developing many world champions. For "Boxcino," Bottjer lined eight lightweights and eight middleweights to compete in a single elimination event, which resumes Friday night at the 4 Bears Casino & Lodge in New Town, North Dakota, when the lightweight semifinals take place with 8-round bouts featuring Petr Petrov (33-4-2, 15 KOs) fighting Chris Rudd (13-1, 8 KOs) and Fernando Carcamo (16-5, 13 KOs) taking on Miguel Gonzalez (23-3, 16 KOs).
Bottjer gives his overview of the quarterfinals and he breaks down what to look for in the semifinals.
"Petrov and Rudd were both big surprises because most people picked their opponents (Fedor Papazov and Yakubu Amidu respectively) to win in the opening fights," said Bottjer.
"Both guys now face opponents with completely different styles than what they faced in their opening matches, so the key to their fight is who can make the adjustment. They both capitalized on fighting very aggressive fighters. Now they are each fighting more accomplished boxers."
"Carcamo is the biggest puncher of the whole group of lightweights in the tournament and Gonzalez is the best boxer. It is no secret on how each of them is going to fight."
"The fights in the first round were very good. The semifinals will be at that level if not better. The guy who wins this tournament would have defeated three good fighters on national television over a three-month period. Whoever wins the tournament will establish himself as a world-class fighter and title contender," finished Bottjer.

If you have MATHLINK there exists a solution in MATHSOURCE.
If not I programmed a encoding Programm in C to avoid the EOF and
the CR/LF problem. And in MMA I programmed the corresponding decoding

Doctella Puts Patients Back at the Center of their Care
When patients are informed and active participants in their care, the outcomes are simply better. Doctella is designed to empower patients with actionable, timely knowledge to improve the care they receive.
Right Now, Doctors Don't Have an Effective Way to Give Patients the Information They Need
Patients get fragments of information - a photocopied sheet, a pamphlet or other instructions that are often disjointed and confusing. Patients feel powerless, and doctors are frustrated. Both want a better way.
When Doctors and Patients Don't Communicate, Mistakes Can Happen
Preventable medical errors are now the third leading cause of death in the United States.* Often these errors could have been avoided with better communication between doctors and patients.
*Journal of Patient Safety, September 2013
Doctella's Innovative Smartlists
Improve Doctor-Patient Communication
Smartlists are based on well-founded implementation science that has shown to improve patient outcomes. This interactive, effective communication gives patients actionable information at the right time. Providers can create, manage, update and customize content and easily monitor patient compliance.
How Doctella Works: Mario's Example
Engages Patients Throughout the
Entire Continuum of Care
- Provides SmartLists and doctor-developed FAQs
- Patients can use at home, on the go, or at point of care
- Easy monitoring of patient progress and compliance
- Send text, app, and email reminders to patients
- Physicians can customize content presented to patients
- Delivers patient education information and videos
Doctella can be used as a standalone platform or can be integrated into an EHR system for a seamless experience.
Smartlists Help Patients, Caregivers and
Families Participate in Their Own Care
- Doctor-customizable checklists give patients and caregivers the information they need when they need it.
- Text, app and email reminders and alerts encourage patient participation
- Ensure's compliance, reduces complications, prevents errors, and improves outcomes.
- Physicians can customize the content patients receive: detailed instructions, medication tips, or any content they choose.
- Patients can view Smartlists on their smart phone, tablet or computer.
Doctella Supports Care Instructions to Patients From Multiple Providers
Dashboard Allows Providers to
Monitor Patients Quickly and Easily
- At-a-glance patient monitoring
- Care Coordinators see a green or red light for checklists actions
- Can make decisions on when follow-up is needed
Doctella Demonstrates Promising
Early Outcomes
60% decrease in
same-day surgery
57% decrease in
ED visits and
15% decrease in
phone calls to
physician practice

After the critical success of his first novel, Morvern Callar, Alan Warner has written an extraordinary, stirring sequel to Morvern's odyssey, confirming him as one of the most original, uniquely gifted writers to have appeared this decade.An air-crash investigator haunts the hinterlands of an island–around the isolated honeymoon hot spot, the Drome Hotel–gathering the debris from fallen planes that the islanders have fashioned into makeshift sheds and fences; but what kind of jigsaw is he really assembling as he paces the runway?A young woman makes landfall on the island, crossing the interior to arrive at the Drome Hotel: desperate, strange–and strangely familiar.Meanwhile, DJ Cormorant is trying to organize The Big One, a rave on the adjacent airstrip, and from all over These Demented Lands come twisted characters, converging for one final Saturday night at the Drome Hotel.
Alan Warner is the author of three previous novels: Morvern Callar, soon to be a film by Lynn Ramsay; These Demented Lands, which won the 1998 Encore Award; and The Sopranos, also soon to be a film.

Reversible tights are thicker, warmer, and sturdier because they're constructed of two layers of material. Styles are available in many different color combinations and patterns. For my winter wardrobe, I'm considering pairs in solid black/solid grey, solid black/solid brown, and solid black/patterned black. Although I'm commenting to tell you about colored tights, apparently I'm still stuck on black tights!

You really just want your look to be balanced, so almost equal parts torso, skirt, and lower legs showing. At the tailor, don't let them rush the measurements and make sure to express your concerns about it coming out too tight and fitted in the wrong places. Sadly, it's the risk of taking something to any tailor versus doing it at home with trial & error until it fits to perfection. You can also pinch in and measure how much you want to take in at home, then compare your notes to what the tailor takes down. lastly, you can also bring in a pencil skirt that fits perfectly already to show the tailor.PetiteAsianGirlhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6879961822849422387.post-66018747041722471422012-11-28T22:35:48.155-05:002012-11-28T22:35:48.155-05:00Thanks!

After further inspection, the alteration is harder than expected for the leather, so I'll have to save the favor asking of knitter friends for another task : )PetiteAsianGirlhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6879961822849422387.post-19927347677964532472012-11-28T22:33:17.716-05:002012-11-28T22:33:17.716-05:00Another vote for BR gloves for short fingers.

And yes, totally - I buy shoes half size down if possible for that exact reason, if I anticipate wearing them in the winter.PetiteAsianGirlhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6879961822849422387.post-35017062211855327842012-11-28T22:32:05.815-05:002012-11-28T22:32:05.815-05:00The coat made by J.Crew already has Thinsulate ins...The coat made by J.Crew already has Thinsulate inside.

For true casual clothes, my default are dark skinny jeans (not too tight of course, just fitted), a comfortable pair of almond-toe or pointy flats, and a slightly slouchy button-up blouse in silk or polyester (for easier machine washing).PetiteAsianGirlhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6879961822849422387.post-727074011647750382012-11-28T20:44:05.187-05:002012-11-28T20:44:05.187-05:00Thanks for the tip - I do like that dark navy...ju...Thanks for the tip - I do like that dark navy...just dark enough so that it's almost black and not too colorful!PetiteAsianGirlhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6879961822849422387.post-19169494095688152692012-11-28T20:42:48.153-05:002012-11-28T20:42:48.153-05:00Hopefully she will re-open her Etsy store next yea...Hopefully she will re-open her Etsy store next year!

I did find a retailer called Danier Leather that offers XS gloves in lots of styles and colors. I have not tried them but here's the link: http://www.danier.com/ShopByMCF12.aspx?CategoryId=35&filter=23^XS&t=all

Regarding outerwear, I just got a BCBG Finn Peacoat in Charcoal XXS and I am completely delighted! Even though it's not a Petite, it fits like one -- sleeves, waist and length are all good, and it is nicely snug (I'm about 5'2'' and 100 lbs.) Highly recommended!Deucecooophttp://email@example.com
