Expanding a regulatory reform effort that has already made doing business easier for thousands of businesses, Governor Patrick today announced legislation to streamline and improve the licensing process and business climate for thousands of professional licensees throughout Massachusetts.
The legislation is part of the Patrick-Murray Administration's comprehensive regulatory reform effort to conduct a fresh analysis of existing regulations and determine what still makes sense in the 21st century. To date, the unprecedented effort has removed unnecessary barriers to starting a small business, enhanced efficiencies of state government operations and aligned state practices with widely accepted national models or best practices. The legislation builds on this progress and is part of a series of initiatives the Governor will announce this week to make government work better.
"These common-sense changes in the Division of Professional Licensure are further steps forward in improving the business climate," said Governor Patrick. "Together with our work to update or eliminate old regulations, simplify tax laws, contain health care costs and enhance access to capital, we are making Massachusetts an even better place to do business."
"We often talk about the blocking and tackling of state government, and ensuring processes are done right and that is what this reform is all about," said Lieutenant Governor Timothy Murray. "With this reform, we are helping to clear the way for companies to do business in Massachusetts by providing more efficient services across state government."
The legislation makes a number of changes to Division of Professional Licensure operations, including merging the barber and electrology boards into a new Cosmetology and Barbering Board, eliminating the Board of Registration of Radio and Television Technicians and modifying statutory language in an effort to streamline and improve state services.
In March 2012, Governor Patrick announced the Patrick-Murray Administration's thorough process of reviewing rules and regulations, focusing on finding regulations that are duplicative, out-of-date or in need of update and creating the changes necessary to improve or eliminate those regulations. In 2012, 446 sets of regulations had been reviewed, leading to 286 opportunities for reform -- which accounts for 64 percent of regulations reviewed and approximately 14 percent of total state regulations. Agencies are now in the third round of review.
Significant changes made during the first two review phases include MassDOT's proposal to standardize permitting and police escort fees for oversized loads on the MassPike, making those processes easier for over-dimensional load trucks; another MassDOT plan to update and make consistent evaluation criteria for requests for access to MassDOT property, including curb cuts and other construction access permits; and the Department of Revenue's proposal to streamline the tax return extension process that will help 71,388 small business. The Department of Environmental Protection is in the process of finalizing and implementing 21 regulatory reforms focused on doing away with permitting redundancy and duplicating work done by local boards; encouraging good environmental outcomes; promoting technological innovation, among other areas.
"By working with businesses and regulatory experts in state agencies, we have been able to make doing business in Massachusetts easier and less costly for thousands of businesses," said April Anderson Lamoureux, the Patrick-Murray Administration's Regulatory Ombudsman. "These goals are part of the Patrick-Murray Administration's long-term economic development plan, and further review will expand these benefits to even more businesses."
The legislation being filed today by Governor Patrick is the result of a comprehensive review of the rules and regulations for the 31 boards under the purview of the Division of Professional Licensure, which has already implemented a number of reforms, such as allowing part-time employees to work at more than one funeral home and eliminating a two-week closure of salons during an ownership change.
The new reforms will eliminate the Board of Registration of Barbers and the Board of Registration of Electrologists, and will create a consolidated Board of Registration of Cosmetology and Barbering that will reduce redundancy and improve administrative efficiency in shared areas such as licensing, investigation and consumer outreach. The three current professions include 83,934 licensees.
"The new, consolidated Board of Cosmetology and Barbering will not only make operations less-complicated at the Division of Professional Licensure, but it will make the process of carrying and renewing licenses easier for professionals in these areas," said Mark Kmetz, the Director of the Division of Professional Licensure. "Consistent with Governor Patrick's vision of regulatory reform, these changes make doing business easier for thousands of licensees across the Commonwealth."
The legislation will eliminate the Board of Registration of Radio and Television Technicians, which has outlived its purpose. As technology has advanced, consumers are purchasing new televisions or radios instead of repairing them, and in the last 10 years the board has issued only 26 new licenses and has fewer than 800 licensees. In the last five years there have been only 23 consumer complaints regarding licensees, and the Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation has the tools in place to respond to complaints in this area. By eliminating this board, DPL staff will be able to focus on more critical matters and will free remaining businesses in this field from annual license renewal requirements.
To counter significant, statutory reinstatement fees, the legislation will put a cap on workforce re-entry costs for some professions. For example, a massage therapist who stopped working in the profession for four years would have to pay a $652 re-entry fee. These fees will be capped at a reasonable level to facilitate workforce reinstatements.
The legislation also makes a number of internal changes to DPL operations that will lower costs and make the agency more efficient. Some boards are statutorily obligated to mail a list of all of their licensees annually to all of its professionals. For example, the Engineering Board must mail a 100-page document to all 15,000 licensees, even though the information is available on the DPL website. The legislation will also:
Eliminate some fixed-number quorum and appointment requirements for boards, which will make it easier for boards to conduct business and recruit members;
Strike out laws for several boards that purports to authorize the boards to hire staff and receive compensation. Currently, DPL provides boards with necessary support staff and the obsolete language causes confusion;
Eliminate a mandatory review of the Hearing Instrument Specialist Board every three years by the State Auditor, taking out a unique and unnecessary provision.
The Patrick-Murray Administration's comprehensive regulatory reform initiative is the first of its kind in Massachusetts in over a decade and is designed to cut unnecessary red tape and increase the ease of doing business in Massachusetts. The initiative includes a comprehensive review and re-evaluation of existing regulations, a systematic and coordinated process for regulators to consider economic impacts for newly-proposed regulations, public reporting of small business impacts for all regulatory changes to improve transparency during the public rule-making process and partnerships with the regulated community to share responsibility for creating a balanced regulatory environment.
"Through this sweeping regulatory reform initiative, the Governor and his Administration are reforming one of the most frustrating aspects of government for businesses and citizens. These reforms illustrate the Commonwealth's commitment to eliminating red tape and increasing transparency -- ensuring there will be real results with immediate impacts."
- David I. Begelfer, CEO of NAIOP Massachusetts, The Commercial Real Estate Development Association
"For business owners across Massachusetts, the Governor's announcement is very good news. Our policy makers are making changes and reforming the regulatory process in ways that will have positive impacts on small business and our state's economic climate for many years to come."
- Georgianna Parkin, State Director, Massachusetts Small Business Development Center
"We're very pleased with the regulatory reform process so far and we look forward to continuing working with the Patrick Administration to bring additional regulatory relief to small businesses in Massachusetts."
- Bill Vernon, State Director, National Federation of Independent Business Massachusetts
"The Massachusetts Business Roundtable shares Governor Patrick's goal of making Massachusetts a highly-desirable place to do business. Complex and burdensome regulations are often cited by Massachusetts employers as an impediment to achieving that goal, and the Patrick Administration's regulatory reform initiative is an encouraging effort to address the issue head-on. The Roundtable is pleased to be part of the regulatory reform effort, and commends Governor Patrick and his team for effectively moving it forward."
- JD Chesloff, Executive Director, Massachusetts Business Roundtable
"Today's announcement illustrates the continued commitment of the Patrick-Murray Administration to improve the business climate in Massachusetts. Building on earlier regulatory reforms, the proposed changes to the professional licensing regulations will make it easier for businesses to grow and succeed here."
- Jim Klocke, Executive Vice President, Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce
"The Governor's initiatives chip away at unnecessary regulations but the major accomplishment of this initiative is working to change the culture of state bureaucracies to be aware that their actions have real life implications on small businesses and job creation. Ultimately that may change the flow of new regulations in the future."
- Peter Forman, President/CEO, South Shore Chamber of Commerce
"Doing business in Massachusetts means sifting through a labyrinth of state and local regulations. To be successful, businesses must be able to find, understand, and comply with the regulations that apply to them. This has been a challenge for small companies, which is why business organizations such as the Chamber are pleased that Governor Patrick and his administration are actively addressing the issue through comprehensive regulatory reform. These are meaningful efforts at improving the business climate in Massachusetts that will go a long way in allowing businesses to focus on what they do best, which is grow the economy and create jobs."
- Robert Mellion, President/CEO, Fall River Chamber of Commerce
"The MetroWest Chamber of Commerce applauds Governor Patrick's longstanding effort to reduce the regulatory burden for businesses. We are pleased that the results of the Commonwealth's first comprehensive regulatory review identified and corrected outmoded, inefficient regulations, yielding both time and cost savings to businesses. While this is important for all businesses, it is critically important for our small business owners. In filing this legislation to modernize the DPL, we are confident that the Administration will continue to streamline the regulatory process, thereby fostering business development and job creation."
- Bonnie Biocchi, President/CEO, Metrowest Chamber of Commerce

So, I played around with my hair until I found a way to create this super cool roll. Wanna try? You'll need a hair tie, five bobby pins and slightly dirty hair (silky hair slips out).
- First, secure hair into a low pony. I like the way it looks with a side part, but you can keep whatever your regular part is.
- Then, pull the elastic down your pony away from your scalp about two inches.
- Roll the tail of your pony towards your head into the area between your scalp and elastic and keep rolling until the elastic is nestled against your head.
- Slip a bobby pin into the hair elastic against your scalp so it holds the roll against your head.
- Then, roll and tuck the hair on one side your head and pin it so it sits against your scalp.
- Repeat on the other side so that any poufy parts are tucked away. That's it!
Thanks to my amazing neighbor Michael Turek for taking such a gorgeous photo.

Sustainable Procurement
Conflict Minerals in Epson Products
Epson's Policy Response to Conflict Minerals
Epson's procurement policies are aimed at developing mutually beneficial trusting relationships with its business partners around the world based on the concepts of fairness, coexistence, transparency, and co-prosperity. Epson has committed itself to maintaining high ethical standards and a social conscience, and has declared that it will conduct procurement in strict compliance with both the letter and the spirit of laws and regulations in every country and region in which it operates.
Epson considers the conflict mineral issue to be important in terms of socially responsible procurement. Consequently, we do not use conflict minerals, as they are tied to human rights abuses, environmental destruction, and the funding of armed groups in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and adjoining countries.
Epson will be taking the following actions to exclude conflict minerals from Epson products.
- We ask our suppliers to understand and follow the Procurement Guidelines and the Epson Supplier Code of Conduct. We take various opportunities to explain and gain their understanding with regard to actions we take to ensure that our products do not contain conflict minerals.
- Epson is not required to report to the US Securities and Exchange Commission about the use of conflict minerals, as defined in the final rules of Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act ("Dodd-Frank Act"). However, we do survey our supply chain using the tool provided by the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative (CFSI), a group that is working with enterprises to promote responsible mineral procurement. If, in the future, a more effective means of carrying out due diligence on conflict minerals is established, we will adopt it and ask our suppliers to do so as well.
- Epson requests the suppliers throughout its supply chain to produce evidence of compliance that minerals are procured only from smelters and refiners that have been found to be compliant with the Conflict-Free Smelter (CFS) Program of the CFSI.
Main Initiatives to Date
- In September 2012, we requested our suppliers to abide by our rules concerning responsible mineral procurement that we added to the Epson Supplier Code of Conduct, which is included in our Procurement Guidelines.
- In September 2013, we set up a cross-organizational Conflict Minerals Review Committee consisting of personnel from all Epson's operations divisions and the procurement departments of Epson Group companies. Organization and administrative oversight is provided by the Head Office department that supervises socially responsible procurement. Under the direction of the Committee, Epson has switched from a passive to a proactive approach to conflict mineral surveys.
- In the 2013 fiscal year, we conducted conflict mineral surveys using the CFSI template for the main products in every business segment.
- In the 2014 fiscal year, we expanded the coverage of the conflict mineral surveys to all production material suppliers - approximately 950 companies around the globe - and received a 96% response.
- In the 2015 fiscal year, we requested additional surveys from 537 companies that reported that they could not identify refining companies, and conducted new surveys among 187 suppliers including 724 companies in total, receiving a 99% response.
- In April 2016, we held another Procurement Policy Orientation at which we once again asked suppliers to understand and cooperate in our responsible mineral procurement efforts.
Initiatives from 2016
We will continue our efforts to achieve our target of identifying every refining company whose materials are contained in our products by March 2018. We will also improve our survey contents to enhance detecting capability, and carefully analyze our survey results. We will also communicate and cooperate more closely with our suppliers, improve survey accuracy and the rate of identifying refining companies, and supply chain transparency.

2 nobodies, especially Danica. Why does everything Nascar go around her now? A change from hearing Jr this and Jr that, but talk about actual real drivers that win or at least are in the top 15.

Greetings from Penang!
It's been a month since I came back to Penang. Needless to say, I have been having too much fun, eating too much good food, and not blogging much at all. The first month of my vacation had been filled with festivities and much celebrations: Chinese New Year, short trips to KL and Singapore, visiting friends and family members, running (driving) around, including meeting Anthony Bourdain and the No Reservations crew, who were shooting in Penang!
One month later, I am finally settled into a more relaxed pace and I hope to share more Penang/travel-related photos and posts here with you.
First of all, Penang is definitely in spotlight now; it's fast gaining international attention as a much-happening place and a must-visit island in Southeast Asia. As a result, Rasa Malaysia and the Penang Culinary Tour business my brother and I co-founded had been written up in two travel magazines recently—a very popular Filipino travel magazine Leisure + Adventure Travel as well as a Singapore's NEXT Magazine (please click on the links to view the articles). Previously, we were featured on Budget Travel USA and SilkAir's inflight magazine.
The highlight of Chinese New Year was the chap goh meh (15th day of Chinese New Year) and my elder brother CK Low got us some durian that were out-of-the-world delicious, creamy, aromatic, and finger-licking good. We made durian rice, served with salted coconut cream, and also bubur cha cha, our family rituals on chap goh meh.
Whenever I am in Penang, I love going to the local wet markets, the fresh fish/seafood/produce and the hustle and bustle mesmerize me.
I could never get fish as fresh as this in the United States, not mention about the species.
One of my favorite breakfast snacks: fried Chinese "hum chim peng" and "hua chee." These are fresh-off-the-frying-wok and so delicious. I usually buy a few of these and eat them as I wander around the wet market.
While I don't blog about everything I do or see here on Rasa Malaysia, I do share interesting pictures, food, and what I eat here via Twitter. If you are interested to follow my journey and adventure, please join me at Twitter @rasamalaysia.

* Moved functionality from irclib module to irc.client module.
* Moved functionality from ircbot module to irc.bot module.
* Retained irclib and ircbot modules for backward-compatibility. These
will be removed in 1.0.
* Renamed project to simply 'irc'.
To support the new module structure, simply replace references to the irclib
module with irc.client and ircbot module with irc.bot. This project will
support that interface through all versions of irc 1.x, so if you've made
these changes, you can safely depend on `irc >= 0.7, <2.0dev`.
* Fixed failing test where DelayedCommands weren't being sorted properly.
DelayedCommand a now subclass of the DateTime object, where the command's
due time is the datetime. Fixed issue #3518508.
* Fixed incorrect usage of Connection.execute_delayed (again).
* Minimum Python requirement is now Python 2.6. Python 2.3 and earlier should use 0.5.0
or earlier.
* Removed incorrect usage of Connection.execute_delayed. Added Connection.execute_every.
Fixed issue 3516241.
* Use new-style classes.

The Zotac GeForce GTX 480 is based on Nvidia's latest uber-graphics card design, the GTX 480. This card uses the Nvidia GF100 chip, which is the single fastest graphics chip on the planet and packs in all the latest features. With cards based on it demanding over £450, though, can it possibly be worth investing in? Let's find out.
Key among the GTX 480's features is support for DirectX 11 gaming. This means all the latest and greatest features of the latest and greatest games will be available to you. In particular, the main highlights are tessellation, DirectCompute, and Multi-threaded rendering. We won't cover these features in detail in this review but if you'd like to learn more about these features and other aspects of what DirectX 11 brings to the table, we suggest you check out our review of the GTX 470 (a card based on the same technology but that runs slower).
Also in that review we take a look at the inner workings of the Fermi architecture upon which GF100 is based. So again, if you want to learn the nitty gritty on how these cards work we suggest you go there. For this article we're going to stick to finding out what this card can do and whether it's worth investing in.
Weighing in at 913g and with a length of 268mm, this is one big and bulky card, not that such a thing is exactly a surprise – its direct competitors also tip the scales at nearly one kilo. However, because it is so long, it overhangs the edge of a standard ATX motherboard and as such you'll need to check carefully whether it'll fit in your case, as many are only built to exactly accommodate ATX size boards.
As well as being bulky, this card runs seriously hot. We're used to high-end graphics cards being pretty toasty, but the heatpipes and heatsink of this card are scalding hot. It's for this reason Nvidia has exposed the top of the heatsink, where normally this would be covered by the plastic shroud that covers the rest of the card: this card is supposed to be installed in a case with additional fans that should blow over the top of the heatsink for the best cooling and reliability.
Nice review but all as I suspected. The 5850 is still my next planned upgrade for if the 5770 ever falls short (which has not done yet).
"Also, Nvidia supports 3D gaming on its cards, though frankly we don't see this as much of a value-add yet, especially as you need special high-speed monitors and the glasses to take advantage of it."
Can you outline which game you have played in 3D recently to reach this conclusion? You can pick up a 3d monitor and glasses for £350. Having played games in 3D for around 8 months I believe it is the biggest advance in games development since the move from 2d to 3d game engines.
I'm having difficulty understanding all the simplistic bad press, I also think most reviews are too gaming centric. That's fine from a gaming site... but TrustedReviews is not a gaming site!
That said I totally agree with those who've said if you want the best bang for your gaming buck then go with a few 5850's, there's really no competition.
So who spends 400-450 purely on a graphics card? You should review the card at least partially for it's other intended markets... CAD, Graphics, Rendering, Video, Software developers!
I'm a GUI developer. I code obviously and game... but I do some do GPU rendering and video editing too. GPU rendering's a 'feature' that's often ignored by reviews. General purpose GPU processing is Nvidia's trump card but too many reviews ignore it because you simply can not do it 'effectively' on ATI cards.
VRay, Mental Ray, Octane, and Arion all use CUDA. LUXRender and Furryball can run on ATI but they are biased renderers or worse. There's a reason the heavy weights are using CUDA... OpenCL is far behind, and will fall further behind because not enough developers use it.
I haven't done it yet but the Fermi card allow you to execute C++ natively.
I'll have fun with that!
Right now I have an EVGA GTX 480, and I'll probably buy another, possibly two.
These card are NOT loud or hot if 'properly' ventilated! If you're gona buy one you need a good case and PSU. Don't fool yourself.
The Silverstone Fortress FT02 is perfect for hot cards as the motherboard is rotated 90 degrees allowing hot air to rise... most tests show these cases perform better thermally than open test rigs while having good sound insulation. GPU rendering stresses the card far more than gaming... so I'm
pretty happy with heat, noise & power levels.
From the rendering forums I've read you get 100% scaling in GPU rendering too, so suddenly the GTX 480 is an absolute bargain (strange but true)
Why spend a 1000's on render slaves when you can buy extra GTX 480's that will destroy them in both processing power and power usage?
Yes a GTX 480 could be an environmentally friendly option (if used correctly)
I know I'm an edge case, but by reviewing GPU purely for gaming you're doing a disservice to your readers.
We'll see a lot more applications that are 'enhanced' by CUDA in the near future.
Video, 3D rendering, CAD and many scientific apps already are enhanced.
Yes Fermi cards are hot, noisy, expensive and not great value for gaming... but they are FAR more useful. So while I'd agree with your scoring from a gaming POV it's simply wrong from an overall view.
As part of your future tests could you please post the scores you get with the HQV benchmark v2.0 DVD / Bluray
So far no video card has produced full marks. Personally I am excited about the mid range offerings of the 4xx series.
I agree witht eh review, that 3d gaming is not really important at the moment, its gimmicky and not that great.
@GUIGuy, the GTX 480 might be a more sophisticated product and great for CUDA work and with products like VRay, Mental Ray, Octane,... but lets face it, +99% of these cards will end-up in home PCs for gaming, not in pro 3D rendering rigs. For gaming at the moment, it seems more reasonable to buy a card from the red team.
@GUIGuy CAD and VFX users are more likely to be using Quadro based systems due to the support options offered by workstation vendors. They also tend to use the systems as supplied rather than put together their own with ad-hoc components.
Rgeardless of NVIDIA's marketing, application acceleration via CUDA and the like is still a niche area. The vast, vast majority of users will see no benefit from it - so the gaming emphasis of this review is only sensible. Anyone seriously interested in CUDA development is likely to be a researcher with a bank of Tesla systems to play with.
Im waiting for the dual-GPU version (the GTX 495?). Any news on when that will be available??
Ive been on the green team since the 7900GTO but they are doing nothing for me with this fermi effort. Im no fanboy, I go where the performance and cost hit that magical perfect point and all I can see is ATI. Granted I see no need to replace my 260GTX anytime soon but Nvidia certainly needs to shrink those babies down without losing much performance before I would even consider one.
Glad to see ATI strongly back in the game.
I hate Nvidia for their closed stance with Physx, especially when it adds nothing of real value to the consumer. In Mirror's Edge it was accidentally turned on and made glass shattering look slightly nicer, but added nothing to gameplay. I don't think it can last for long, especially when Ati look to take back some of the GPU market from Nvidia and developers don't want to support something only 60% of their audience can use.
Ati simply have price/performance cornered at the moment. No thanks to competition to Nvidia. Prices have actually INCREASED for certain cards since Nvidia got in on the DX11 action. I bought my Ati 5770 VaporX for £132 in Feb despite some people on this forum telling me to wait. I'm glad I didn't because the price has gone up at least £10, and some are charging £160 for it.
The top end cards from AMD and Nvidia certainly are impressive, lol but what retarded person would want to waste all that money??
Just stick with a card that's a year or 2 old, you wont really notice any difference and DX11 lol nothing even out that uses it.
The main problem with the internet is they let anyone use it - there should be some kind of test before you can get a connection - much like the driving test, only based around learning how to be respectful and civil to others.....
@Mombasa69: This card is meant to be used at high resolutions, you'll most certainly see a difference at 3600x1920.

alexandsoswrote a review of POC Frontal Helmet on May 24, 2011
Good for more oval heads
This is a POC helmet, so it has a top-of-the-line safety-minded construction. A few particulars that can be useful for making a purchasing decision: the fit is more oval than POC Scull, but less oval than ReceptorBUG. The helmet itself is pretty big, so nothing inconspicuous about it. One thing POC still cannot figure out is the goggle clip. It is useless for Smith goggles, barely fits Oakley goggle, and is a PITA to use even with POC's own goggles. I bleive the implicit assumption is that you are going to wear your goggles new school style (i.e. under the helmet). Overall a good helmet, but stops short of greatness.

Less is More: Retrofitting Modernist Facades - Yale Rudolph Hall and IIT Crown Hall
AIA CES: 1.5 LUs | 1.5 HSW | 1.5 SD
When: 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM WEDNESDAY, JUNE 20
Where: At The Center
The New York Chapter AIA COTE/ ASHRAE Integration Series for 2012 focuses on design and technical issues related to the building enclosure.
In our third session of the 2012 Integration Series, we will explore some of the challenges of a sustainable façade renovation of a modernist building. Issues of historic preservation are considered alongside energy conservation, occupant comfort, project phasing, and previous renovations.
Case studies include Mies van der Rohe's IIT's Crown Hall and Yale's Rudolph Hall (Art and Architecture building). Project team members will present the analysis and decision-making process guiding the renovation.
Discussion focus:
• When renovating a modernist building enclosure and considering many aspirations (historic, sustainable, functional), where are there synergies and conflicts?
• What research or analysis informed design decisions?
• How do we deal with buildings that have been renovated once already, often without less regard for historic renovation principles?
• How does the enclosure renovation time frame affect the project, deliverables, or team involvement?
• Have the enclosure's sustainability features changed over time (changed, added, or restored)?
Theodore H.M. Prudon, PhD, FAIA. Mr. Prudon is a leading expert on the preservation of modern architecture, was educated at the University of Delft, Netherlands, and Columbia University, where he received his doctorate. He is a partner of Prudon & Partners, based in New York City, and teaches preservation at Columbia University's Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation. Prudon is the President of DOCOMOMO US and a board member of DOCOMOMO International. DOCOMOMO is dedicated to the study of significant works of Modern Movement architecture, landscape design, and urban planning around the world. Prudon is the author of Preservation of Modern Architecture (2008).

She overcame this with an ingenious idea. Do you know those shoe holders you can buy that hang in your closet? You know — the kind that holds seven pairs of shoes in individual pockets.
Well, Rachael has four of these, one for each of her kids. She puts seven complete outfits in each one at the beginning of each week. When her kids get up in the morning they get to choose which of the outfits they're going to wear for that day. Rachael said that one thing has greatly reduced the stress in her life.
OK, everybody knows I really like the Roomba robotic vacuum cleaners. I've got several and they do a great job.
Irobot, the company that makes the Roombas, has something new out — it's "skins" for your robots. They're basically stickers that are specially made for your vacuum. They even have a number of college designs — yes, there's even a University of Georgia skin. My favorite skin is the pizza design. The stickers make your Roomba look like a pizza pie traveling around on your floors. Look for them here.
Have you ever heard of "Rule 240"? If you're an airline traveler, it's good to know.
Basically, Rule 240 is a hold-over from the days of airline regulation.
It required airlines that had a flight cancelled due to anything but weather to give you a seat on the next flight regardless of whether it was with their airline or not.
Most of your older airlines still honor this rule, but they don't like to talk about it. If you ever get in the situation of having your flight cancelled and the airline tells you there's nothing they can do, gently and respectfully mention Rule 240. Odds are it will help and it certainly can't hurt.
If you have a child going off to college, here are two things you should consider getting them.
First, a WiFi detector. These little babies are nice if you're trying to figure out where you can get wireless access on campus. It beats carrying your laptop around looking for a strong signal. You can find them at most computer and electronics stores.
Second, noise canceling headphones. It's hard to find a quiet place when you need to study — even libraries can be noisy.

Buffalo Bills safety George Wilson said Wednesday he is "100% convinced" that NFL owners will lock out the players next year when the current collective bargaining agreement expires.
Wilson, whose team voted unanimously to approve the union's decertification on Wednesday, told ESPN that while he's hopeful for a positive resolution, the union must gird itself for a work stoppage.
"I've tried to let my guys know in the locker room that this is not a game," Wilson told ESPN. "This is dollars and cents, and when it's about money it's going to take a long time. I'm telling my guys to save, save, save. Minimize your debt. Prepare your families."
Decertifying would allow the NFLPA the option to sue NFL owners if they try to lock them out next year. NFLPA chief DeMaurice Smith has said he thinks the league's owners are intent on locking out players to drive a more favorable CBA, while commissioner Roger Goodell has denied the league wants to have a work stoppage.
Several teams have already approved decertification, which Smith has said is a procedural move for now that will prevent the union from having to garner player support after the season ends.

Peters, who was awarded $9,867.19 in small claims court, said in a press release that Honda's offer of as much as $200 in cash and as much as $1,000 off a new Honda was "ridiculous," and that the plaintiffs could do better by opting out of the current class-action complaint. Peters said that the deadline to object to Honda's current settlement offer is February 11.
Last week, the small claims court commissioner in Torrance, CA, ruled that Honda misled Peters by estimating that its Civic Hybrid could get as much as 50 miles per gallon, according to the Los Angeles Times. Honda said it would appeal the decision.
In her case, Peters alleged that her 2006 Civic Hybrid never reached more than 42 miles per gallon and that the car's fuel economy dropped to less than 30 miles per gallon after Honda performed a software update on the car. Honda was the defendant in a class-action lawsuit stemming from the automaker's estimates of fuel economy for the 2003-07 model years, which were 49 miles per gallon city and 51 highway. Honda settled that lawsuit out of court in 2009, after which 26 state attorneys general called the settlement unfair because attorneys made more from the case than the defendants did.
Los Angeles, CA - Fresh off her historic $9,867.19 small claims victory against Honda for false advertising of the Honda Civic Hybrid, Heather Peters is not letting up. Determined to push for a better class action settlement for 500,000 other Civic Hybrid owners, she will deliver her petition today to all 50 State Attorneys General urging them to object to the current proposed settlement of $0-$200 cash, plus a coupon towards another Honda. The deadline to object is February 11th.
With the help of some very loyal supporters, she collected over 1,000 signatures on the petition from all 50 states and DC in just 12 days! Over 250 comments were posted on the petition including:
"This car is dangerous! The amount of power is unpredictable"
"Getting 30 mpg at best plus with the software update, this car is not safe to drive"
"I sold my HCH last year because it became too frightening to drive"
Heather Peters says:
"Unfortunately this is just the tip of the iceberg and my judgment against Honda for almost $10,000 proves that it is ridiculous for Honda to try to settle these claims for pennies on the dollar. The Attorneys General need to step in to object."
26 State Attorneys General united to defeat Honda's last attempt to settle these cases in 2009. This proposed settlement is not much better and it would now include a release of Honda's liability for a 2010 software update that reprogrammed the car to prolong the life of the $3,000 warrantied hybrid battery by using it less and using the customer's gas more!
Anyone who owned or leased a new or used 2003-2009 Civic Hybrid is part of the class action unless they opt-out by February 11th. Heather says hundreds of class members have contacted her through her website www.dontsettlewithhonda.org to say they are opting out to follow in her footsteps in small claims court. She is publishing her evidence on CD and has reactivated her law license to help her fellow Honda owners. A contact list is available on request for more than 80 of these opt-outs across the nation who are willing to be interviewed.

They sell puppy mill 'designer breeds' for exorbitant prices and then don't back up their so called 'health guarantee' when the puppy has the inevitable issues that will arise. Plus, their prices are way over the top compared to other chains - even when compared to the specialty stores. STAY AWAY!!!posted: September 6th, 2007

Gross conditions, carefully hidden. Sells puppy's directly from mills. Pups are often sick in their cages, and incidents of different types of animals escaping and hurting each other occur often.

Collaborating with Faculty
Swarthmore students have direct access to faculty research opportunities. Stephen, a Neuroscience major, explains what it was like for him to collaborate with a Biology professor on her neuron research.
Neuroscience major Steven Selvarian '13 collaborated with Professor of Biology Kathleen Siwicki on research into the courtship behavior of Drosophila melanogaster. The highlight of his experience, he says, was "the opportunity to learn from the great faculty members we have here" at Swarthmore.
Whether they are planning careers in research, medicine, or health-care policy, it is important for undergraduate science students like Selvarian to conduct research with faculty and travel to work in leading research labs. Siwicki believes summer research experiences are critical in forming students' decisions to pursue science careers. "You can't learn science without doing science," she says. "Conducting research over the summer is a great opportunity for students to work full-time in the lab."
Selvarian is one of about 200 students who received support through Swarthmore for summer learning and research projects. From Chester to China, they were engaged in experiences that took them to the frontiers of knowledge outside the traditional classroom. more

|Topic Review (Newest First)
With boots it's not about the price as much as it's about how they fit. If those were the one's that are comfortable on your feet than that's what i'd get.
In terms of boards yes you will need a wide board with 12/13 feet. Boards I'd look at for you are the Rome Manual and Flag. I also can recomend the Ride Decade wide. Look for last years on these too and you should be able to get away with a nice board for a good deal.
first board
hey im looking to buy myself my first board. I've been boarding enough to be able to carve and handle intermediate alright and i'm starting to move into the park a bit. I want to get an all-mountain type board as i'll probably be doing 50/50 mountain runs/ park.
I weigh 160lbs and i'm 6' tall. i went to a local store to try on different boots and i liked the burton moto's (size 13 but a 12.5 might be better i'll have to make sure). the only downside is that they were 200$ and i think that place is a bit overpriced but is that a decent price for beginner boots or not? anyways, i was looking for suggestions on bindings that go well with the moto's (or any other good beginner boots you can recommend?) and a board also. I assume i'll need a wide one right? and i dont know much about the size but from my research would a 159ish one be good? any input is much appreciated, thanks
ps. the money isnt a huge deal but id like to keep it around $600-650. $700 tops but i dont really want to spend that much on my first set up. oh and i have all the rest of the gear i'll need (goggles jackets pants) as i ski a lot also

2014 WK2 on order. Accessory advice?
Been lurking for months. Currently have a 2014 WK2 Limited V8 4x4 with Lux2, tow package and 20's on order. Due to receive the vehicle late October. Billet Silver in colour. I'm going to order the Mopar slush mats and cargo liner, roof rack (for canoe), black side steps and slush guards. She is going to endure many an Atlantic Canadian winter so I also have 18" black steel rims and Blizzacks on order from Costco. Anything I should do different or does this sound like the way to go. I was considering weather tech mats as well. I also looked at the rock rails but they want 1200$ on Mopar.ca so I went with the 650$ black side steps. More for door ding protection than off roading. I take my canoe to a few remote spots but that requires traversing logging roads, nothing serious. Thanks lads, this site has been unreal!
Re: 2014 WK2 on order. Accessory advice?
Tony, careful what you ask for. Modding is as addictive as your other bad habit.
Wife will be keeping my modding to a minimum. That's why I'm trying to get a lot of the must haves on it when I pick it up 😄
i'd get weathertech or husky liners instead for better coverage
look over for yakima and/or thule options for racks lots of deals this time of the year
good approach on keeping 20's and 18's... what did you get for the 20's? how much more money would be to keep the oem 18's? and get 20's
btw, get a sunshade for the windshield
The Mopar roof rack is about $350cdn. I think all the others are around $500. Even with Canadian and American money being about par we still get screwed on prices. The rack is going to carry a 17' Old Town canoe so I need one that has a little added width beyond the factory rails. The Mopar rack is a Thule. But if I can a better one for less I'm game.
I'm getting the dealership to put on some tow hooks as well. Good bow tie down points for the canoe.
Re: 2014 WK2 on order. Accessory advice?
Haha, I got every accessory you just named (except for aftermarket wheels - at least as of yet) on my 14 GC.
The Mopar mats (including cargo) are really worth it. I'm a frisbee player, so mud and grass were going to get in, but this keeps the carpet spotless - and looks really really good.
The side rails make it look more like a truck. Installation was a pain at first, but went smoothly after I realized the Mopar instructions were crap and just followed with others did on this forum.
I found the Mopar roof rails to be the best. I kayak too, but I haven't found a good way to load and unload the kayak. If you have any ideas, I'd love to hear them.
I put in tow hooks myself. It was a pain, but probably the most fun out of all the installations. There is a thread on that too. I wouldn't pay someone to do that for me personally. I enjoyed it.
Oh, and mud flaps - totally worth it. Got them after I found 2 rock chips in my door. Again, the instructions sucked. I just ended up getting 3/8" bolts and forcing them in there. That will make more sense once you actually do it.
Post pictures when you get done!
I got the 5 Spoke ones that are standard on the Overland. About a $600 option. Not sure how much a set of OEM 18's would be. Too hard to keep a vehicle clean in the winter so I went with black steel rims. Cheap and easy to find incase one gets bent.
Re: 2014 WK2 on order. Accessory advice?
Re: 2014 WK2 on order. Accessory advice?
TonyMontana, did you ever buy the black side steps? I'm thinking about switching to the Mopar rock rails, and was wanting to sell mine if you are interested..
I had the Mopar black side rails, tow hooks and mud flaps installed before I picked the Jeep up.
Appreciate the consideration just the same.

New Photos of Facelifted Audi Q5 hybrid quattro
by George Achorn on 17 May 2012 in PhotoGraphic
Audi has released a few more photos of the facelifted Q5, and specifically those of the hybrid quattro. Until now the only shots avaailable came out of Audi's marketing department, though these new shots from Audi Germany's communications department show the Q5 hybrid quattro from new angles.
As with the pre-facelift Q5 hybrid quattro, the model will be powered by a 2.0 TFSI and paired with Audi's hybrid drive system. The Q5 hybrid quattro is expected to join the expanding U.S. Q5 model lineup alongside 2.0 TFSI, 3.0 TFSI and 3.0 TDI versions.

Sake ain't cheap! Especially in restaurants, where they raise prices and decrease the size of pours. What to do? If you get served a puny 2 or 3oz shot glass of sake ask for a slightly bigger pour in a white wine glass. Usually the servers will "know" what you're thinking and will give you slightly more to not make the wine glass look so "sad.

[U.S. SOCCER] U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann's previous coaching stint, at Bayern Munich, lasted less than a season, but his former bosses at the
German powerhouse believe he can find success with the USA.
"It was not a good time for us," said Bayern President Uli Hoeness. "But it is not correct to say a definite sentence about Jurgen Klinsmann being a good or a bad coach. If you get the national team coach of Germany in the year when the World Cup is in our country, and the next step is Bayern Munich, it's a big step. And therefore to consider Jurgen as a good or a bad coach is only possible after he has four or five stations."
Klinsmann took charge of the defending Bundesliga champion in July of 2008, two years after he coached Germany to third place at the 2006 World Cup on home soil.
"I wish him all the best that he's successful, first of all," said Hoeness during the club's International Media Days. "And secondly, I'm always a friend of another big nation to rise in soccer. If America comes up, it's good for all of us. It's such a big market and such a big part of the cake that it would change the view on soccer worldwide, absolutely, totally."
Klinsmann was fired after Bayern was eliminated from the German Cup, from the Champions League (5-1 on aggregate in the quarterfinals by Barcelona), and shortly after a 5-1 loss in the league, which Bayern never led that season. Klinsmann oversaw the renovation of Bayern's training grounds, but club officials say he was not responsible for the inclusion of Buddha statues on the grounds, which was widely reported and ridiculed.
"I believe a country like America should be among the strongest five-six countries in the world," Bayern CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge said. "I believe Jurgen can do well. He had been here unfortunately just one year but in the collaboration with him he was fantastic as far as organization. He was fantastic to develop soccer. I'm convinced that he can do very well."
Hoeness said, "Jurgen has a lot of ideas and is very passionate and will try to do everything to make America succeed. But he needs the right players and for that the America league [MLS] needs to be strong. And from what I understand it's getting stronger."
Hoeness did mention one issue on which he clashed with Klinsmann:
"Klinsmann always wanted closed practices," Hoeness said. "I want fans to be able to come to practices. It helps them connect with the team. Maybe the day before the game when they practice set plays, I understand a closed practice. But otherwise they should be open."
Regarding the U.S. national team, Rummenigge -- a former Bayern star and German international like Hoeness -- recalled Germany's meeting with the USA at the 2002 World Cup.
"My first experience with the U.S. national team was in 2002 when Germany beat the USA, 1-0, in the World Cup quarterfinals," Rummenigge said. "And in that game America was unlucky because they played better and should have gone through to the semifinals. They had much better opportunities, but Germany was lucky."

Brand New and Need Help!
1 Attachment(s)
Hi beautiful curlies!
I'm brand new to the curly girl method and have been completely curly for years (no straigtening) but had somehow never heard of not using sulfates and silicones!
Anyway, I started researching after feeling frustrated with my lackluster curls and frizz. I really want to get started with the curly girl method, but need help with some beginners products.
I am strapped for money, so I would prefer to find drugstore products. I currently use LA Looks Gel Wet Look, and it has been my go to gel for years, so I hope I can still use it (I think I can!), but am wondering about co-washes and conditioners. And do I need a Leave-in?
Also, wondering about hair type...I think it's a 2C or 3A. What do you think?
Thanks ladies! Hope you can help me make my curls more beautiful! :)
Hi and welcome!
Yes, your gel is CG friendly. What is your climate like? The reason I ask, is you mentioned frizz (which can be caused by MANY things; dry hair, or using glycerin in really humid weather, to name a couple reasons!). That particular la looks gel has glycerin at the top of the ingredients list, so if you live in a high humidity area right now, you may want to try the la looks SPORT gel (blue).
Popular drugstore conditioners used for cowashes are the Suave NATURALS line, VO5, loreal evercurl cleansing conditioner, And As I Am co-wash or cleansing pudding (Sally's).
Popular drugstore conditioners that are heavier are tresemme NATURALS, Shea Moisture (all), GVP conditioning balm (Sally's), ION effective care (Sally's).
Depending on the condition of your hair, your hair properties, and climate, you may want to use a leave-in. The lighter co-wash conditioners above are a good place to start. The Shea moisture "milks" also work.
Since it looks like you're a fine haired wavy, strictly cowashing may not work for you. If that turns out to be the case, you'll want to find a low poo, or sulphate and silicone free shampoo. The Shea moisture line shampoos are good, I like the Yucca one (dark green label).
Thanks for the reply!
I actually live in a drier climate--not too humid. Our dewpoint generally does not get higer than mid-50s or so, with some exceptions. My hair is definitely reacive to humidity (you should see it when we travel to the beach...agh!) Does glycerin make frizz worse?
I'd say my hair has high porosity--it definitely seems dry and I do highlight with bleach. I also use a lot of gel to get the look I like, so that may affect things too. Up until now, I've always used Pantene Curl S and C.
Do you think I should start out trying a cowash? Or should I go straight to a low-poo option?
Welcome! Suave Naturals, V05 and Tresemme Naturals are all used for conditioner only washing, I would not spend money needlessly on something you wash down the drain.
Work on your porosity and bleach damage with overnight coconut oil soaks, hydrolysed protein treatments, ceramides and panthenol. Olive and avocado oil also penetrate and may help reduce porosity, others oils and butters mainly do not and some will weigh the hair down.
Hydrolysed protein is also beneficial for fine haired wavies and curlies and can help boost curls, coconut oil also helps protect from bleach damage.
GVP conditioning balm is high in propylene glycol which is a humectant, I would avoid or limit that in high or low dews or if you have an issue with glycerin (another humectant). You can use the same conditioner as rinse out and leave in.
It's so interesting--I never considered my hair to be "fine" because it's thick! :) Amazing what you learn!!
I will work on the porosity--I've been planning on doing a coconut oil treatment, so I'll start there. Hopefully switching away from sulfates and silicones will help too!
After your last sulphate shampoo wash, it's really up to you to decide to poo or not to poo. I decided not to strictly cowash, but the further I get in my hair journey, the less I feel I actually have to shampoo. It is still perfectly "CG" to use a sulphate- free cleanser. If you want to dive in with both feet, try cowashing for a couple weeks and see how you like it. You'll know at that point if you need to poo or not.
I have to laugh--to poo or not to poo? That is the question... ;)
So if I use a low-poo, do I just use a CG safe thicker conditioner (not the co-wash conditioner) afterwards? Also, I know some people just say not to rinse all of the conditioner out afterwards, rather than using a leave in...do they do this with the co-wash conditioner or the other one?
Thanks for all the help :)

ROTFL! if you low poo, you just use a heavier conditioner after, then you can Just partially rinse it out. Or you could rinse it out, then add a leave in.
Given you colour if you choose to low-poo I would suggest you select carefully, looking for a product that is free of all anionic surfactants not just free of sulphates and that is pH 4.5 to 5.5 (acidic). This will be the gentlest it can possibly be on skin and hair.
That means looking for surfactants like cocoamidopropyl betaine or decyl glucoside. There are lists of surfactants in the different 'families' here
Ingredients Commonly Found in Hair Care Products
Actually all the 'curl chemist' articles by Tonya McKay are worth reading as you have time.
Okay--thanks for the info!! I think I'll try no-poo first, the switch to a low poo if I need to. What would be a reason to low poo--too much oil and build up? Just want to know what to look for :)
Sometimes people who mostly no poo/CO will low poo every once in while, while others will clarify instead. I almost never clarify, but I low poo when the mood strikes me. The SheaMoisture Moisture Retention shampoo is a good low poo if you need one.

Last weekend, in my Market Forecast, I wrote:
"For the new week, the market will be looking at a slew of earnings from the financial sector. BK, SCHW, CTBI, FRC, GS, JPM, MTB, USB all report on Wednesday morning. BAC, BLK, C, PNC will report on Thursday morning. In addition, INTC and XLNX report on Thursday afternoon. Friday will wrap up the week with reports from MS, STI, STT, and SLB. There's still resistance between SPX 1475 and 1480; above this resistance, we could see the broader market challenge 1500."
Overall, earnings so far have been pretty positive. GS reported a strong quarter, sending its shares up to almost $145. BLK, MS, PNC, and STT all jumped higher after their respective earnings reports. Even with INTC falling more than 6% on Friday, the broader market held its level. SPX ended up more than 5 points, above 1485 on Friday!
