Food policy affects the structure and operation of food systems and is essential to help protect and promote public health. This unit focuses on the core food policy reference standards (Dietary Guidelines, food selection guides, Nutrient Reference Values) and how food policy and its interventions can by developed, implemented and evaluated to achieve these reference standards. Food has health, economic, social and cultural meanings and consequently food policy often is contested and political - the unit explores the role of evidence and politics in food policy-making. Topical food policy case studies are used to illustrate these concepts, for example policy activities to: protect food security and promote healthy and sustainable diets; prevent obesity and other chronic diseases; and protect public health in food regulation related to food fortification and food labelling.

Two of These Five Amazing Doritos Ads Will Play During the Super Bowl
Doritos has narrowed their Super Bowl commercial contest down to five finalists, and only two of these hilarious videos are going to make it to the big game.
Doritos held a nationwide contest on YouTube to help design two, 30-second Super Bowl commercials which will each play during the big game. And one of these finalists will get to work a behind-the-scenes dream job to help with production of 'Avengers: Age of Ultron'.
One commercial will be chosen by Doritos executives for a spot during the first half of the Super Bowl. And online voting by the fans will determine the other video that will get to play sometime during the second half. While having fan-made content might make it seem like the Frito-Lay company is low on funds for this year, each of the five final videos are of your expected, over-the-top, Super Bowl quality and are downright hilarious.
"Finger Cleaner", the first provided video, is almost a guaranteed win based on how absurdly funny it is. We honestly expect that this will be one of the commercials to play during the big game. Just watch what happens and see the proper, gloried way of cleaning your fingers after eating Doritos.
"Breakroom Ostrich" and "Office Thief" each play off of each other quite well, depicting the problems of bringing Doritos to the workplace. "Cowboy Kid" is your standard family friendly ad featuring CGI babies, where a toddler rides on the back of a huge dog like a cowboy in order to lasso a bag of chips.
Our other final choice would have to be "Time Machine" (the last provided video), where a father and his son are simply playing with a cardboard box and are met with unexpected, awesome results.

Dan Hostager is in his 15th year as the Bulldog men's cross country coach and is in his ninth year as head men's and women's cross country coach. He also was the men's head track and field coach at Drake for three years and currently serves as an assistant coach for the track and field program specializing with the distance runners.
Hostager has been raising heads ever since his arrival at Drake. He was named the Missouri Valley Conference Cross Country Coach of the Year in 1999 after leading the Bulldogs to their first league title since 1970. The 1999 Drake cross country team ranked second in NCAA Division I programs designated as "All-American with distinction" by the U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association for a 3.52 cumulative team grade-point average.
That academic legacy has continued as the women's team has been named a Scholar Team by the USTFCCCA for each of the last 15 seasons while the men's team has earned the honor in seven of the last eight years. Last season, the women's team posted a team GPA of 3.66, the 14th highest mark in the nation. Additionally, the team earned Drake's prestigious Provost's Award that is bestowed annually on the team that records the highest GPA.
This past fall, the Drake men battled injury to finish eighth in the MVC with Doug Brady earning MVC Scholar-Athlete honors while the women were sixth at the MVC Championship hosted by Drake in Des Moines.
The 2012 men's cross country team's fourth place finish at the Missouri Valley Conference meet was highlighted by then junior Brogan Austin, who finished third. Austin was honored with the 2012 Elite 18 Award for men's cross country, which goes to the highest achieving student-athlete when combining athletic finish at the MVC Championship and cumulative grade-point average. He was also selected to the MVC Scholar-Athlete Team for the second straight year. Austin was named 2011 MVC cross country runner of the year after winning the 2011 MVC meet. He and teammates Doug Brady and Colin Hagan were also named to the 2011 MVC Scholar-Athlete Team.
Under Hostager's guidance senior Kirsten Lake had one of the most successful women's cross country seasons in recent Bulldog history in 2012. Lake finished sixth at the 2012 MVC meet, won the Bulldog Classic, and led Drake in each of the meets she competed in.
Hostager guided the men's cross country program to second-place finishes in the 2002, 2003, 2005 and 2006 Missouri Valley Conference Cross Country Team Championships, while the Bulldogs finished third in 2004 and 2011.
On the track, he has coached Austin to the 2013 Drake Relays title in the 5,000 meters an and MVC outdoor title in the event as well. This past winter, Austin won both the 5,000 and 3,000 meters at the MVC Indoor Championship to earn Most Outstanding Performer honors. He also coached 2012 NCAA Regional qualifiers Omet Kak, Charlie Lapham and Kirsten Lake in the 1,500 meters. In 2011, Brogan Austin qualified in the 10,000 and Omet Kak in the 1500. In 2010, Nicole Braunsdorf and Casey McDermott qualified in the 1500, as well as 5000 qualifier Jeff Grassmeyer. Braunsdorf and McDermott also qualified for regionals in 2009 and Grassmeyer in 2007.
At the 2012 MVC Outdoor Championship, Kirsten Lake took the 1,500 title setting a school record in the process. The Drake men's team also won the distance medley relay at the 2009 MVC Indoor Championship.
In the fall of 2006 Hostager coached senior Ashley Anklam into becoming just the third runner in Drake history to win the MVC women's individual cross country title. Junior Casey McDermott garnered all-MVC honors placing ninth at the 2009 conference cross country meet.
Drake senior Brent Wilberts won the individual 2003 MVC cross country race, hosted by Drake, posting the fastest championship winning time since 1983. Wilberts was named the MVC Runner of the Year and finished 55th at the NCAA Cross Country Championships. Drake senior Bobby Anderson won the individual 2004 MVC cross country race and was named MVC Runner of the Year while also competing in the NCAA Cross Country Championships.
In 2000, Jason Lehmkuhle also qualified to run the 10,000 meters at the 2000 U.S. Olympic Trials, becoming the first Drake athlete to accomplish that feat since sprinter Kevin Little in 1992. Lehmkuhle ran the fastest 10,000 time in MVC history in 28:44.91 at the Stanford Invitational to qualify for the U.S. Olympic Trials. Lehmkuhle and Matt Gabrielson also competed in the 2005 World Cross Country Championships as well as the 2004 U.S. Olympic Trials in the 5,000. Gabrielson, Lehmkuhle and former Drake runner Zac Schnedel also qualified for the 2008 U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials.
Representing Team USA, Gabrielson finished 36th in the marathon at the 2009 World Track Championships in Berlin, Germany.
Joel Lelacheur (pole vault) and Wilberts (1,500) advanced to the 2003 NCAA Regional Outdoor Championships; with Wilberts qualifying for the NCAA Outdoor Championships with his 3:43.61 clocking that also qualified him for the 2003 U.S. Outdoor Championships.
Hostager served three years as head track coach at Upper Iowa with his squads setting 19 men's and women's school records in 1997, which culiminated by coaching Dennis Black to the NCAA Division III indoor and outdoor national titles in the shot put.
A 1990 graduate of Northern Iowa, Hostager was the head cross country coach and assistant track coach for the men's and women's programs at St. Cloud State from 1993-96. Hostager has completed his USATF Level II coaching certification in the endurance, jumping and throwing events and is working on his USATF Level III in the endurance events. Hostager qualified for the 1992 and 1996 U.S. Olympic trials in the marathon and was the 1992 Road Runners Club of America national champion in the 10,000 meters. He owned the UNI indoor school record in the 3,000 meters (8:02.67) and also earned All-America honors in the event at the 1989 NCAA Indoor Championships.
Hostager and his wife, Maria LaFrance, have two sons, Noah and Quincy.

Everything is good, nice environment, subway nearby, comfortable bed and cozy room. Toilet is big and clean, they provide hairdryer, shampoo, shower gel, comb, and tooth brush, paste, pretty good for a hostel. You can order dinner at the front desk and the food is prepared freshly with a very good price, big serving. Me and my partner always come back for dinner, nice Chinese food, not too greasy or salty. Bed is big enough. Location is also good, 5 mins walk to a subway, one stop to people's square, or you can walk to people's square in about 15 mins. Sometimes the carpet outside toilet get wet and dampy, when we first walk into the room, the carpet outside toilet is already wet left from last guest.
The location is on the Suzhou Creek, pleasant and quiet; but close to Xinzha Line 1 subway and walkable to center of city. Clean room. My room contained only the beds, a small end table, and a lightweight rack to hang some clothes, lacking any other furniture surfaces-- no desks, table, chairs-- and no closet. So your your belongings, suitcase or backpack goes on the floor or on your bed. Also, the rate I was asked to pay at the hostel was more than the quote on this site, and the room with a window cost even more.
Personal was very kind. The design of the hotel is wonderful. Good company of travellers. Wi-fi in my room.
Absolutely wonderful decoration and furnishing - great vibe about the place and a gorgeous location - next to a small park. Tube is only a 4 minute walk away. The walls inside are painted and there are different quirky styles all around. There is a useful little shop with drinks next door which is pretty much 24 hours. best place I have ever stayed at.
Despite of location in the center of the city, hotel was very quiet (except little noise made by underground subway) and there is also a nice park nearby. Interiors of rooms and public areas of the ho(s)tel are quite nice, with a SOHO touch - made with a good taste. They should mention, that a number of rooms does not have a window (ok, there are windows, but in the side of inner corridor)!

Bar Exams
The ILSP LLM is designed to prepare students for practicing international law; however, after graduating from the program, some of our students sit for the NY bar exam. We urge students interested in taking a US bar exam to look at the "Comprehensive Guide to Bar Admission Requirements," which lists the bar eligibility requirements of the 50 states plus Washington DC. The publication is available on the National Conference of Bar Examiners website.
Specific information about the NY bar can be found here. Foreign students should pay particular attention to Rule 520.6 of the Court of Appeals for the Admission of Attorneys and Counselors at Law. Foreign-trained attorneys must submit an evaluation of their foreign credentials up to one year in advance of sitting for the NY bar exam. The NY bar exam is offered twice a year in February and July. If you plan to sit for the exam in July, you must submit the evaluation form by October 1 of the year before. If you plan to sit for the exam in February, you must submit the evaluation form by May 1 of the year before. Because of these requirements, students who are opting to sit for the NY bar exam will be limited in their course options and may not be able to specialize. If you are interested in discussing your course of study and the various requirements for the LLM and the NY Bar, please contact Catherine Schenker, the ILSP academic advisor.
Foreign-trained lawyers who wish to take the NY bar exam will have to complete at least 12 credits of required classes including Legal Research and Writing, American Legal Institutions, Legal Ethics, and 2 courses in subjects tested on the bar exam. U.S. Business Law, U.S. Contracts, U.S. Constitutional Law, and U.S. Criminal Law will meet this requirement. Legal Research and Writing and American Legal Institutions must be taken in your first semester.
Required Courses:
- American Legal Institutions (2 credits; offered Fall or Spring)
- Legal Research & Writing (2 credits; offered Fall or Spring)
- Legal Ethics (2 credits; offered Spring or Summer)
At least 6 credits from the following approved courses:
- U.S. Business Law (3 credits; offered Fall or Spring)
- U.S. Contracts Law (4 credits; offered Spring)
- U.S. Constitutional Law (3 credits; offered Fall)
- U.S. Criminal Law (3 credits; offered Fall)
Other approved courses may be eligible dependent on the semester.

I am considering installing a "live" Backtrack on a 16 Gig flash drive. I figure it might be handy to carry my OS around with me. Anyway, I was halfway through downloading the 64 bit version when it occurred to me that yes, my computer is 64 bit, but what if I happen upon a computer I want to boot from that is 32 bit? I can only imagine it wouldn't work right? On the other hand I could install the 32 bit version and I think all 64 bit computers are capable of handling 32 bit architecture correct? I know its a rather simple question but I have never really thought thought to hard about it before since I always knew exactly what my computer was (32 vs 64) but now that I am considering making a live usb that is going to be on multiple computers I'm not sure whats best.
I am 99% sure I need to install the 32 bit if I want it to work with everything, but perhaps you guys know something I don't. any thoughts you have on this matter would be appreciated. I will be spending the next hour going out and getting myself a new flashdrive, hopefully when I get back my thoughts on the 32 bit were correct since i just canceled the 64 and started downloading the 32. If i am wrong i guess it will be another hour of downloading .

Expression for voltage under parameters??
Am a beginner in comsol and i wish to declare parameters to my model.The input to my model is voltage and when i key in 'V' under the expression coloumn in parameters,the alphabet turns red.It says unknown variable,please help me sort out this issue.
Thanks in advance.

Re: Expression for voltage under parameters??
You can define "parameters" in the first Global Definition node (add a Parameter node by a "right click" on the node). A Parameter is read once at the beginning of the COMSOL solving sequence, and can be referred to later in a function or other occasions. A parameter value might be overwriten by COMSOl if you are using the same name further down in the node tree.
Many single character names are already defined by COMSOL as internal variables, and a Parameter should not have the same name as a Dependent Variable, and V is mostly already defined as "Volts" in COMSOL ACDC.
I mostly use long names or add some prefix or suffix to distinguish my own parameters from COMSOL numerous variable names.
Note check the doc on Parameters and Variables, as variables can be adressed and recalcualted during processing and are defined either as Global or as "local" Variables which are normally NOT constant values, these should be set to Parameters
Then you have units, a parameter as
(where the "=" is implicit and not appearing in the GUI) is valid and gives the value of 2 to V0 and tags the variable with units "Volts" and note that units should be defined between square braquets
will flag red (=error) as [V] is the correct way to define units
if you combine equations with variables, and the units do finally NOT match, COMSOL will flag the formula with an orange color to indicate a WARNING (not an error) of inconsitence units
Good luck

Pentagon cuts military raises and benefits, spends $150 per gallon in green jet fuel
The Department of Defense was put in the awkward position of having to defend cuts to military pay raises and housing allowances as well as increasing health care fees just one day before a report saying the Pentagon spent $150 a gallon on green jet fuels.
Defense officials spent $150 on jet fuel made from algae that is approved for civilian and military use, according to a report released Wednesday by the Government Accountability Office.
"Specifically, a DOD official reported that the department paid a range of prices from about $3 per gallon for 315,000 gallons of alternative jet fuel derived from natural gas produced using the Fischer-Tropsch process to about $150 per gallon for 1,500 gallons of alternative jet fuel derived from algal oil produced using the HEFA process," according to the GAO.
"These prices, however, reflect purchases of small quantities of fuel for testing and approval activities, which according to government officials and a fuel producer we interviewed and literature we reviewed, are higher than what the price would be if the quantities were produced at a commercial scale," the GAO said.

Step 1: Overview
You had plenty of clearance yesterday morning. But as you drank your coffee and backed out this morning, the garage door opening mysteriously closed in on your car and ripped off the side view mirror. Even if your insurance will cover it, this body shop repair is most likely less than your deductible. In other words, it's coming out of your pocket. The good news is that you can replace the mirror yourself for a lot less!
Step 2: Order a replacement mirror online
Start your repair job by searching the Internet for an aftermarket mirror and for the factory paint color code. Most mirrors are available from online sources for a fraction of the dealer price. Because replacement body parts have to be painted to match your car, we located the factory paint color code and then visited an auto parts store and purchased cans of aerosol touch-up paint and primer.
Painting the mirror was easy. We simply masked off the glass and followed the spraying instructions on the paint cans. But if you're not up to painting it yourself, take it to a body shop.
Step 3: Remove the cover and door panels
Our power mirror repair required the removal of the door trim panel to access the mirror's electrical connector. This may seem scary at first, but with the right tools (available at auto parts stores), it's simple. If your car has a manual mirror, you can probably skip that step and simply pop off the mirror trim panel and remove the three retaining screws (Photos 1 and 4).
Removing the door trim panel isn't hard. It's designed to be removed for all types of servicing, such as repairing door handles and window mechanisms. The most challenging part is finding all the hidden fasteners. The trick to removing the trim panel is to know that trim panel screws are usually hidden behind decorative vanity caps (DVCs) or in obscure recesses. Start your search with the armrest. Look for screws in the finger pull area, under the armrest or behind speaker grilles. If you see a round cover that serves no visible purpose, chances are it's a DVC. Using a "hooked pick" (available at hardware stores; Photo 2), pry off the DVC and you'll most likely find a hidden screw. We found four hidden screws in our vehicle.
After you remove all the screws, use the trim panel removal tool shown in Figure A to remove the Christmas tree–shaped fasteners from the door. There is no universal pattern to these fasteners, so you'll have to feel around to find them by slowly prying around the edge of the trim panel. As you locate each fastener, insert the removal tool behind it and pop it out of its hole. When you've removed all the fasteners, lower the window and lift the trim panel up and out. Check the trim panel and door to make sure all the fasteners came out of the door properly. If any were damaged, take them to an auto parts store to get the proper replacements. Leave the power window and door lock connectors in place and lean the trim panel against the door.
Step 4: Disconnect the cable
Next, follow the cable from the mirror and disassemble the mirror's electrical connector. Remove the screws that hold the mirror and remove it from the door. Attach the new mirror. Reconnect the electrical connector and make sure you test the new mirror before putting the parts back into place. Reverse the entire procedure to reassemble the door trim panel. Use your fist or a small rubber mallet to reinsert the Christmas tree trim panel fasteners. Replace the screws and the DVCs.
Taming the Crank
If your car has power mirrors but manual windows, you'll have to remove the window crank before you can remove the trim panel. It's impossible to do without this special door handle removal tool, the Lisle No. 18600. Simply slide the tool onto the window crank and dislodge the spring clip. Make sure you hold a cloth around the crank to catch the clip. Then pull the crank off the splined shaft. To replace, insert the spring clip in the grooves on the crank and push the entire crank onto the splined shaft until it "clicks."

New help for underwater home owners
Oregon Housing and Community Services Department and Oregon's Senator Jeff Merkley announced the launch of the Rebuilding American Homeownership Assistance Pilot Program, which will begin accepting applications online at noon on Wednesday June 12, 2013.
This pilot program aims to help homeowners who are trapped in high-interest loans but can't refinance because their loans are underwater - owing more than their homes are worth. These owners are current on their loans but are not eligible for the Federal HARP refinance program because their loans are not owned or insured by Fannie or Freddie.
The pilot is based on a proposal Senator Merkley introduced in a July 2012 white paper called Rebuilding American Homeownership, which can be read here.
"We appreciate Senator Merkley's vision to jump start this innovative program," said Margaret Van Vliet, Director of the Oregon Department of Housing and Community Services. "This pilot, and the other foreclosure prevention programs we offer will, hopefully, provide much needed relief to Oregon families that are struggling with underwater mortgages and the fear of foreclosure."
"Current programs have been frustrating for homeowners who are underwater and not eligible for HARP," said Senator Merkley. "This pilot tests a different approach. If successful, it could be a win-win, substantially lowering homeowners' monthly payments and thereby reducing the risk of foreclosure. Moreover, the homeowners would have more funds to spend on other needs, strengthening their families and the local economy. Finally, the program has the potential to pay for itself. If it works, I hope it can be expanded to help underwater families across Oregon and in other states. I applaud OHCS for piloting this different approach."
The pilot will allow an initial group of approximately 50 underwater homeowners who are current on their payments to refinance into a 30 year fixed rate of 5.0% (5.077% APR) or a 15 year fixed rate of 4% (4.129% APR). There will be no up-front or monthly mortgage insurance payments required for RAHAPP loans.
Interested homeowners in Multnomah County are encouraged to visit the RAHAPP page at http://www.OregonHomeownerHelp.org for information, an eligibility quiz, and an online application. Homeowners will be able to submit applications online or in person through OHCS partner, Alpine Mortgage Planning, a Division of Pinnacle Capital Mortgage Corporation.
The RAHAPP is funded by "Hardest Hit" funds the state received from the U.S. Treasury. Oregon Housing and Community Services administers Hardest Hit funds through the Oregon Homeownership Stabilization Initiative (OHSI), which to-date has provided more than $92 million in assistance to more than 9,000 homeowners.

Here are the best of the best. Truly worth it, take my word on this.
I'm sure that title can generate a lot of jokes anywho movin' on...
I want to become a Penetration Tester. And the more I research the subject the more confusing it seems to become. I also want to be able to write my own tools etc... So I have started learning Python2.7, MIT's 6.00 Computer Science course youtube lectures, and downloaded a bunch of PDF's on Computer Science, Ethical Hacking, etc...
I have also looked into various courses on the subject and found a mountain of information that will take me well on into my 70's to finish reading. So I have come here to ask you guys where and what I need to learn in order to become a certified Pentesting nerd (and I say nerd lovingly). I live in Canada so any course/certification needs to hold weight in my country. I am also poor as hell and cannot afford to waste money on courses that will not help me achieve my goal. Thanks for your time and have a great day
Here are the best of the best. Truly worth it, take my word on this.
Back|track giving machine guns to monkeys since 2007 !
Do not read the Wiki, most your questions will not be answered there !
Do not take a look at the: Forum Rules !
Let me first give the disclaimer that I don't do pen-testing for a living (yet), but computer/network security is part of my job I can recommend Gray Hat Hacking: The Ethical Hacker's Handbook (still gleaning good nuggets of info from that). Also will recommend any of the Hacking Exposed books (specifically Hacking Exposed 6, Hacking Exposed: Windows, Hacking Exposed: Web Applications, Hacking Exposed: Wireless). Perhaps attending some local hacking conferences would help.
Do you currently have the I/T background to do security? What I mean is stuff like: networking skills, programming experience, hardware experience, etc. If not, I'd definitely get comfortable with the pre-requisites before plunging into security.

If I could figure out how to scuba dive & hack at the same time, there would be nothing I couldn't do...
How much programming knowledge is required to feel comfortable? I basically don't have any but I am working on a degree in computer networking and will have my CCNA after this Fall semester. In the Spring I am taking a course that touches on script coding but doesn't go much in depth. Depending on how it goes I will take the second one as well but there is only these 2 classes at my college that even touch programming in Python, Ruby, or the other popular one (getting late, memory failing). After I graduate and have the time is when I will be taking the OSWP AND OSCP courses and I just want to be prepared the best I can in a reasonable manner.
Just fyi, you can take all the courses in the world for pentesting and you can read all the documentation on the internet about pentesting, and I am sure you will at least have the basics methodology down. However, I have stated numerous times that pentesting and any other IS field is more a frame of mind than anything, i.e. thinking outside the box. Its more than just book smarts and trying to cover everything is asking for disaster. Pick a subject that interests you and MASTER IT. I am saying this after having been in the field since late 90's and also having taught numerous college courses in the subjects. Some people have the necessary book smarts but don't have the desire to apply it outside of the classroom.

"Job security -- feeding the gates empire!"
I am kind of in the same boat as you. From the advice I have been getting a 4 year degree really helps, even if it isn't a infosec degree. As far as classes I have been told that you get a lot more out of boot camps than traditional college classes. I have not yet been to one, mainly because they are so damn expensive, but will eventually. As for just learning things on your own, there's tons of resources online. However, I would look into books as well, it seems people tend to forget about them and they are usually ten times better than the stuff you find online. I would also say don't be afraid to practice in the real world, because you are going to have to learn anything. Just do not do any thing too stupid. At least that's what I am trying to do.
Oh, and pick up a programming langue even if you don't want to.
Good points, ewiget I, too, am a relative graybeard in computing. Most of my professional life has been in programming, so that's my main strength. However, having a good networking background, and hardware experience has helped my coding skills, and vice versa.
If I could figure out how to scuba dive & hack at the same time, there would be nothing I couldn't do...
A little off topic here but where can I hack to get income of probably 500-600 a month.
I am a student and short of cash. Do something legal and within my interest will be good.
Anyone know of a good place to start?
You might be able to hire on, part-time, with a local computer repair shop. In many places like this, the staff is light on security experience. But these places always getting in boxes that have been blitzed with some sort of malware, or customers asking "How can I protect myself?". This comes second-hand, and you definitely won't get rich doing this kind of work, but it'll mean some money in your pocket.

Perry Heading to Maryland on 'Business-Poaching' Trip
Governor Perry heads out on a another business-poaching trip this week, trying to convince businesses in Maryland to pull up stakes and move to Texas, 1200 WOAI news reports.
As with his previous trips to the Democrat-controlled states of California, Illinois, Missouri, New York and Connecticut, Perry is running radio ads in Maryland blasting that state's business climate and Maryland's Democratic governor, saying Martin O'Malley has turned Maryland into the 'tax and fee state.'
O'Malley blasted Perry's trip to his state as a 'tired old PR gimmick' and said when Perry arrives in Maryland, he will see how 'better choices have led to better results.'
Cal Jillson, a political analyst at SMU, tells 1200 WOAI news these trips, which are always accompanied by plenty of media coverage, are a gold mine for Perry, who has not ruled out another bid for President in 2016.
"When Rick Perry makes the argument that Texas is the last home for freedom and opportunity, that suggests it has been lost in the rest of the country," Jillson said.
Maryland's Democratic House Speaker pointed out that Maryland's public schools have been ranked tops in the country for the past five years, and pointed out that many studies have tied a good education to good jobs and a strong local economy.
Perry has begun to encounter strong opposition to his high profile business-poaching trips. When the governor was in Missouri earlier this month, that state's Democratic governor and Senator ran ads, called talk shows, and confronted Perry about his claims and used the opportunity to tout the success of Missouri's economy.
Jillson says the politics behind Perry's trips is undeniable.
"Martin O'Malley is a Democratic prospect for President, so Perry is trying to get a little leverage on him," Jillson said.
Maryland Hose Speaker Martin Busch couldn't help but take a potshot at Perry.
"It's equally ironic that its coming from the person who couldn't identify the three government agencies he'd like to eliminate when he ran for President,' Busch said. "Maybe he's coming here to take some of our remedial higher education courses. We would love to offer him some affordable higher education prices."

Firefox 2 Support Discontinued
As new browsers come out, it is up to the provider to decide how long they'll support their older versions. Recently, Mozilla announced they'd be discontinuing updates and fixes to its 2.x version of its browser Firefox. This significantly affects the security of the browser going forward as new vulnerabilities will not be fixed (nor will anti-phishing support continue).
We recommend anyone using Firefox 2.x to upgrade to version 3.x of their browser. Besides being more secure going forward, it also has a number of performance and usability enhancements.

'We recommend anyone using Firefox 2.x to upgrade to version 3.x of their browser.'ReplyDelete
Does this mean that your web pages will blow up or does it just mean that some future features may not work with ff2?
No, it is unlikely in the short-term that Web Branch will have issues working with Firefox 2.x. The real issue is that it isn't going to be maintained as a secure browser as Mozilla won't be patching it going forward. Our supported browser list is both a list of browsers that are tested and known to work with Web Branch as well as (at least to a small extent) an endorsement of browsers that are "safe" to use for sensitive transactions like e-commerce and online banking.ReplyDelete
I don't think FF 2 has anywhere near the number or sheer severity of security flaws that Internet Explorer 6 does.ReplyDelete
In reference to UWCU's stance on Firefox 2 support, Eric Bangerter states:
"The real issue is that it isn't going to be maintained as a secure browser as Mozilla won't be patching it going forward."
I think you just put your foot in your mouth here Eric as UWCU still supports IE 6. It has been know for some time now that not only is IE 6 an in-secure browser, but the browser itself is over 8 years old!
As a loyal member of UWCU for over 12 years now, I would REALLY appreciate it if UWCU STOPPED spending the additional internet development money needed to support IE 6.
The development time & cost savings alone would more than make up for the additional call center support that would most likely be needed to help IE 6 users upgrade to Firefox 3 (or, gulp, IE 7 or IE 8).
Or, just just like UWCU's position on FF2, simply don't support IE 6 at all and instead start supporting QuickBooks!
Love the UWCU redesign by the way.
All the best,
We'd love to drop support for Internet Explorer 6.x. It does take additional resources to make sure our sites work well in IE6 and, because it is older, we have to make adjustments to accommodate it.ReplyDelete
However, there is one key difference between IE6 and Firefox 2.x, Microsoft still supports IE6 with security updates. While Mozilla came out and stated they will no longer patch FF2, Microsoft is supporting IE6 through July 2010 (if not beyond).
Because IE6 still has a relatively large userbase, dropping support just because we'd like to isn't an option. When Microsoft officially drops support for IE6, we will move quickly to no longer support it.
We recommend all our members use the latest version of their browser of choice. In general, the latest versions are faster, offer more features and are more secure. However, we understand that upgrading, for some members, isn't always an option (in a workplace, for example).

Underwater Wi-Fi Connection
The connection between the Wi-Fi Remote and Wi-Fi BacPac will be lost when either device is underwater, but the connection is automatically re-established once both are above water again.
The connection between the Wi-Fi Remote and Wi-Fi BacPac will be lost when either device is underwater, but the connection is automatically re-established once both are above water again.
The Wi-Fi Remote can control up to 50 cameras. If multiple cameras are paired to a remote, the remote controls all cameras at the same time. This means that individual cameras cannot be controlled separately by the remote. The remote can control any combination of camera models as long as the remote version is not lower than 2.1.7. If it is on a version older than 2.1.7, you will need to update the remote software.
In order to use the new features in the latest GoPro App update, it is requires to update your GoPro camera software. If you do not update your camera software you will get a message within the GoPro App that states: "Firmware Update Required". For information on how to update your firmware, see the following FAQs: HERO3 instructions HD HERO2 instructions
The HERO3 battery a rechargeable lithium-ion battery and is rated at 1050 mAH, 3.7V, and 3885 mWh. If you are looking for a replacement battery, you can find one on the GoPro Store here.
Power on the camera and look at the version number that is displayed on the screen as it turns on. If the version number is current, then the update completed successfully. See this article to confirm what the latest version is: Software Update Release Information.
In some cases you may notice that video is choppy when playing back higher resolution videos that have been downloaded through the GoPro App and played back on a phone. Some phones can have a difficult time playing back high resolution video smoothly. If playback is choppy the actual video file is likely fine, it is just a playback issue on the specific phone and will likely play back smoothly on other players As a workaround, you can try using 1080-30 or downloading the low resolution videos instead. For more information,... Read More »
The "File Not Supported" message will appear if an individual chapter from a multi-chapter video was deleted on a computer, and an attempt is made for that video to be played back with an LCD Touch BacPac or over HDMI. If you wish to play back footage using an LCD Touch BacPac or over HDMI output the best practice is to not delete individual chapters of a multi-chapter video.
If you are connected to your camera you find the battery percentage level in the Settings menu. You can enter settings by pressing the wrench icon in the lower right of the Command and Control screen.
When the camera preview window flashes green and/or purple, this means that preview has been lost temporarily. Don't worry though… If camera control or preview is lost, the camera will remain in the last triggered state. This means that it will not stop recording if it was recording when the App's connection was lost.

When you connect your camera or BacPac to your desktop computer, we recommend that you use a USB port on the back of the computer. USB ports on the back of a computer are more reliable than USB ports on the front. Also, we recommend against connecting to USB ports on keyboards, monitors, and USB hubs.

...for Dublin on New Year's Eve for Ray's CWFC lightweight title.
Makes sense after Ivan getting injured, Stevie all day for me.
Im gona come at you like a SPIDERMONKEY.....you hear that a SPIDERMONKEY
Tough fight. Ray needs to beat guys like this to go to the next level. Sub defence will need to be sharp. A dominant win would be a big statement.
Fuck no-gi
It is a tough fight but from now on there are no easy fights, Stevie has got to the stage now where he will be facing top level guys in every fight. Buchinger is a decent Wrestler who likes to brawl and does have a dangerous ground game as shown in his last couple of fights where he has come back from behind.
I just see Ray better in all areas, wherever the fight goes. He will be bigger come fight night and stronger and will have the advantage in Wrestling. He is more technical on the feet and as he showed in his recent fights that his grappling and BJJ is top notch.
If you didn't see it with your own eyes, or hear it with your own ears, don't invent it with your small mind and share it with your big mouth!
Ray by sub or ko
This is the most fun i can have without going to jail
This is a great fight, and with Warburton now signed, a win here and then a win in a rematch with Curt could well be Stevie's ticket to the UFC!! Exciting times for the CWFC Lightweight division!
Wonder who Curt will be getting December 7th
I would very much like to see Ivan win.
Retired 2k and out.

- People fare badly only because they themselves live badly. And there is no more injurious thought for people than that the causes of the wretchedness of their position is not in themselves, but in external conditions. A man or a society of men need but imagine that the evil experienced by them is due to external conditions and to direct their attention and efforts to the change of these external conditions, and the evil will be increased. But a man or a society of men need but sincerely direct their attention to themselves, and in themselves and their lives look for the causes of that evil from which they suffer, in order that these causes may be at once found and destroyed.
I don't know what it is about Russian writers like Dostoyevsky and Tolstoy, but I find their works a never-ending source of insight.

ONTARIO - I own one firearm. It's a rifle - a Remington 700, .270 Win to be exact.
I've never fired it. Not that I didn't want to. I've just never had any reason to take it out somewhere and plink away at targets. On top of that I really don't care for venison or elk meat or javelina. Too gamey.
I prefer the sort of food you get at a place like Philippe's. For the most part my beef's gotta be killed, butchered, sliced and dipped in au jus by someone else. That's one of the benefits of modern society.
For personal protection at home we have a Shillelagh, passed on from some Irish ancestor in the 1840s and a couple of dogs. Sometimes I fly the American flag because I've heard it deters burglars.
Nevertheless I attended the Crossroads of the West Gun Show at the Ontario Convention Center on Saturday mainly to see if I was missing something.
The event was the first full-scale Southern California gun show since the massacre of 20 precious and innocent first-graders at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. And if the last few weeks were any indication, Crossroads of the West figured to be widely attended.
It was. As many as 6,000 people Saturday filed through the narrow rows of tables displaying wares ranging from purple and yellow Los Angeles Lakers-themed AR-15s to fine Bohemian China with intricate patterns and gold leaf imported directly from Prague.
In between there was lots of stuff that could really hurt ya: Pistols, rifles, bayonets, dirks, daggers, ammunition, stun guns, ninja swords and $20 sticks of hot Milan Salami from Oakland.
As for the people and the atmosphere? More like the San Diego ComicCon or the weekly baseball card event at Frank and Sons Warehouse in Industry than some sinister gathering of gap-toothed hillbilly troglodytes intent on overthrowing Obama.
I even overheard one guy explaining to his buddy that none of the "gunpowder-based weapons systems" would be effective during the "zombie apocalypse." He preferred the swords.
Maybe he didn't get a look at the "Slide Fire" kit manufactured in Texas that can turn any standard AR-15 into a street legal machine gun. Don't worry. As the Slide Fire Corporation notes on its website, the technology is completely approved by the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. Apparently it works well against zombies too. As the Slide Fire website also notes - "Prepare. They won't kill themselves."
Elsewhere the gun show was peopled with a collection of cops, firefighters, retired military and a Pendelton wearing veterano or two escorting their wives and girlfriends or their buddies through the "only in America" bazzar of weaponry.
Don't get me wrong. I wasn't put off or scared. I know a little bit about guns.
For example the .44 Magnum is "the most powerful handgun in the world. It will blow your head clean off."
"Dirty Harry" taught me that.
I've fired my share of guns too. My dad had a Winchester .22 and back in the early 1970s, he took us out in the desert past Palm Springs to shoot at a mountainside. A U.S. Army vet who served during Korea and who was the son of a French Canadian R.A.F. WWI fighter pilot, my dad first taught us gun safety.
Just as he was taught by his dad, who loved to hunt ducks and deer in the wilds of Michigan.
When my dad took me and brother out to the desert it was because we already had experience with Daisy and Crossman BB rifles popping off targets in the vast walnut groves and apricot orchards of Santa Clara County in what is now Silicon Valley.
So I guess a part of me came to the gun show Saturday with the same concern that many others there had - that one of our basic rights, that of owning a firearm would be somehow threatened by folks who don't understand that murder has been going on since long before there were automatic weapons.
Need proof? Cain killed Abel with a rock. Brutus and his accomplices stabbed Julius Ceaser. Abraham Lincoln got assassinated with what was essentially a pea shooter.
Post Sandy Hook. Post Aurora, there's that moment when you think, "I better get a legal piece now, so that I'm grandfathered in."
I only added the caveat, "whether I use it or not."
I also thought about some of the times I'd been out on a firing range and remembered a time in the mid-80s at Lytle Creek when a guy I worked with wanted to test out his new short-barreled, pump-action 12-gauge.
Oh yeah. He was a convicted murderer; a reformed pimp from Fresno who had done 10 years in Chino for killing a john who beat up one of his girls.
Out of the joint for 10 years, this guy had guns. Several of them. He kept his nose clean and never got so much as a traffic ticket for the rest of his life.
What's the point? Draw your own conclusion. I know what I believe.
Here's what I took home (besides some colorful memories). Two boxes of ammo for the gun I've never fired and a slab of Milan salami.

I use a Bose QuietComfort 15 headset, but there are lots of models out there to choose from.
No, the smartest thing the founder of the Bose Corp. ever did was not to sell stock in his company.
One example was when Palin asked for headphones and she received $350 Bose noise-canceling headphones.
But Bose was only one of several German scientists who were making elaborate experiments.
I sink you Bose drown last night, but you have bonne fortune and escape.
Wood takes occasion to remark that these phenomena are in bad agreement with the strain theory of Bose.
Presently he had passed over to where Bose was tied to the tree.
You Bose come dine vis me ce soir—zis evening, and you not make fool of ze comestible, as ve call him, eh?
It almost broke her heart to think that on the morrow Bose might have to be whipped.
When the Bose Institute was opened, I attended the dedicatory services.
"to seek for hollows underground by ramming the ground and observing the vibrations," 1929, ultimately from Scottish word boss "hollow, empty" (1510s), earlier a noun meaning "small cask, wine flask" (late 14c.).
Indian physicist who derived the quantum statistics of photons by assuming that photons with the same energy were indistinguishable particles. His idea inspired Albert Einstein to apply the same concept to other particles, including atoms, predicting the possibility of Bose-Einstein condensates. Particles behaving in accordance with Bose's statistics are today called bosons.

CHINO HILLS - Readers and potential readers were welcome to choose from 1,500 free books at the Brain Zone reading and learning center on Saturday.
In honor of National Novel Writing Month the business was busy collecting books to give away to anyone looking to expand their library or read something new.
"You can't be a good writer until you're a good reader, and it does no good to teach a child how to write if they can't read," said Donna Rutherford, owner of the Brain Zone.
"The goal with National Novel Writing Month is to get children reading books so they can someday write their own novel."
Brain Zone specializes in tutoring and teaching students who struggle in math or who have reading disabilities.
Rutherford, a certified reading therapist and neurodevelopmental therapy practitioner, has operated the center from her home in Chino Hills for 12 years.
She started the business after her daughter was diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
The idea to participate in the national campaign came from Michael Turner, a remedial educational specialist at The Brain Zone.
On Saturday, children were able to take home up to 15 books from boxes labeled easy readers, picture books, dictionaries, Spanish, young adult and more.
Turner said he wants to increase literacy in the community in three ways - with a book drive, providing tips on the Brain Zone's blog on how to effectively write a short story or essay and have a short story writing raffle with the students of the center.
Turner, who is now 29, didn't know how to read until the seventh grade.
"There was an entire world that was opened to me," he said, "and that's why I wanted to come to this place."
Know more about The Brain Zone reading and learning center in Chino Hills at thebrainzone.net or by phone at 909-606-4836.

Thank you to everyone who emailed about Part One. Welcome back to Part Two of the Tale of the Desert Rat Tour! Danny B. Harvey (resident Rock God), Sasha Heslip (Cinderblock Bookshelves' producer and tech diva) and I have left the mountains of Colorado and are having lunch in Flagstaff before heading into the Arizona desert. But before I continue our tale, let me digress briefly to discuss the young woman across the street from our restaurant who was singing folk songs in a park as part of some kind of weekend street fair.
She had a high, earnest, Sheryl Crow-esque voice, lots of energy and good guitar chops. There were a few people listening as they sat in the sun, and others casting a glance her way as they strolled by.
I bet she applied for this showcase and was chosen by some panel to round out the music portion of their arts weekend, and I feel equally confident that she wasn't paid. "But!" the promoters likely said, "it'll be great exposure."
As my friend Andrew Hardin likes to say: "You can die from exposure." (more…)

Ladies and gentlemen, drumroll please…I have recovered from the Macbook/lemonade incident which will be discussed later in this blog…and I am proud to announce:
Booking done, travel arrangements made, press releases out, van packed…Desert Rat Tour 2009! Whoo hoo! Here we go!
"Uh…Rain? What does this light mean?"
"I don't know – maybe we should call Kim."
Kim says: "Can you send me a picture of it?" "Uh, sure." "Oh, that? No problem. It happens all the time."
Rock and roll! Desert Rat Tour 2009! We're on our way to Las Vegas!
I bet you didn't know there was a great Mexican restaurant in Boron. Mmmmm. Sasha requires that I drink a Cadillac Margarita. I'm not driving, so hey!
We travel along part of old Route 66 past a graveyard of rusting signs, barking dogs and laundry.
Las Vegas rises from the desert. We pick Danny up at McCarran, who is fueled on a hot dog and coffee and ready to rehearse. I like that in a musician. After lovely sodas and guacamole at Sasha's folks', we head to a nice hotel. I cook spaghetti in my super-groovy modern room…
and we go over all the songs and sound cues for "Cinderblock Bookshelves."
Sasha returns from dinner with her parents, and she and I are beat. But Danny is not, and is off to the Bellagio for drinks with the Blue-Haired Blonde.
In the morning, after a refreshing frigid soaking from the showerhead that is unexpectedly ON and POINTED DIRECTLY AT ME, we get in the van and set out to drive six hours towards Colorado. Did you get any sleep, Danny? "Oh, yeah, plenty. I slept from about 6:00 am to 9:00."
Sasha used to live in a little town in Utah called Brianhead, so we make a pilgrimage up the mountain, stopping to break the law in a very civilized way:
Sasha loves this country:
She lived here for years. But it's changing, which is making her a little blue. More buildings, new chair lifts, more sprawl.
But she is cheered by a sighting of Mr. & Mrs. Claus, on their summer vacation:
There is only one place to stay in Green River, Utah. Literally: most of the hotels are boarded up. But this place is really very nice.
Except, as Danny helpfully points out, for the ominous threat of the Green River Killer…omigod, there he is, Sasha, watch out!
"Howdy, Ma'am. Are you traveling alone?"
I decide it's probably safe to have dinner with him in a crowded place. But I think he is affiliated with a street gang…
We roll into Carbondale early and go for a fancy vegan lunch. I know there will be an article in the Aspen Times, so we rifle through the stack of newspapers on the bar. I read through the front section and don't find the article. Sasha comes up holding the second section. "Uh, Rain…do you think this might be it?"
And so begin a series of evenings filled with wonderful, attentive audiences and monstrous technical snafus. We had bought a spare lamp for the projector before we left town (at $250!), but guess what – it is the FAN that goes out that night, causing the projector to overheat with the resulting unpredictable loss of images on the screen behind me. But Sasha never gives up, rebooting probably twenty times. And the audience stays with us the whole time.
Then we come out of the mountains, driving past my old school, and into Durango. I don't remember it being quite so touristy – but I guess it was. Being broke and underage gives you a slightly different perspective. But we don't really have time to look at much, as we are racing to Fort Lewis College for the show.

House Passes 20-Week Abortion Ban
(NEWSER) – House Republicans got to make their stand against abortion today—they passed a bill that would outlaw the procedure nationally after 20 weeks, reports theAP. The final vote was 228-196 and almost entirely along party lines. (Six Democrats and six Republicans bucked their respective parties on the vote.) The measure is going nowhere in the Senate, and the White House has promised a veto even if it somehow did, but social conservatives hailed the vote as a big win—"the most important pro-life bill to be considered by the US Congress in the last 10 years," says the president of Concerned Women for America.

Native Hawaiian Advancement Task Force
The Chancellor has committed the campus to implementing an action plan whereby we can truly make Mānoa a Hawaiian place of learning. To do this, a representative task force of Native Hawaiian scholars and educators, co-led by Dean Maenette Benham, Hawaiʻinuiākea School of Hawaiian Knowledge, and Dean Noreen Mokuau, Myron P. Thompson School of Social Work, was tasked to collectively develop a report that
- recognizes programs that perpetuates Hawaiian language and culture
- identifies strengths, gaps and challenges in current programming; and
- recommends actions and resources needed to support the strategic directive of Native Hawaiian Advancement.
The task force met for the first time in August 2011.
Open Forum Conversations
A series of open forum conversations were then held:
- Monday, December 12, 2011, 2:00 - 3:30pm, Henke Hall 109
- Tuesday, December 13, 2011, 2:00 - 3:30pm, Student Focused Forum, Kamakakūokalani Center for Hawaiian Studies Room 202
- Wednesday, December 14, 2011, 9:00-10:30am, TBA
- Thursday, December 15, 2011, 10:00-11:30am, JABSOM, MEB Auditorium
Final Report
The final report (pdf), as well as the report's supporting documents (pdf), were completed in February 2012.
This website is to provide administration, faculty, staff, students and community partners up-to-date information on the work of the Native Hawaiian Advancement Task Force (NHATF).

Design considerations for improving acoustics in green buildings are highlighted in the new issue of Implications, a research newsletter on design and human behavior produced by InformeDesign. The article considers the acoustical design challenges inherent in some green building techniques and recommends strategies to address them.
MINNEAPOLIS-ST. PAUL, MN – Design considerations for improving acoustics in green buildings are highlighted in the new issue of Implications, a research newsletter on design and human behavior produced by InformeDesign® (www.informedesign.umn.edu). The article considers the acoustical design challenges inherent in some green building techniques and recommends strategies to address them.
Ralph Muehleisen, PhD, PE, LEED® AP, FASA, faculty in the Department of Civil, Architectural, and Environmental Engineering at the Illinois Institute of Technology, suggests that "design techniques that are utilized in green buildings to improve energy efficiency, sustainability, and other indoor environmental quality (IEQ) aspects tend to exacerbate acoustic defects." Among these techniques, the increased use of glass, use of natural ventilation, and the use of sound absorbing surfaces are discussed. Muehleisen asserts that an awareness of potential acoustic issues, an understanding of the need to address them, and a conscious effort to consider them in the design process will help ensure acoustic quality is supported in green buildings.
To view or download a copy of this issue, go to the InformeDesign Web site at www.informedesign.umn.edu and select Implications from the Main Menu.
InformeDesign is the first searchable database of design and human behavior research on the Web. The site currently contains more than 2,200 "practitioner-friendly" Research Summaries, Webcasts by design experts, a calendar of research-related events, and a glossary of terms. The free Web site is interactive, allowing users to provide comments about specific Research Summaries or other site issues.

The Herbal Medicine Cabinet
Let's build a resource for individuals interested in creating their own herbal healing medicine cabinet for home.
Here are some examples to get us started:
Fever Reduction- A few drops of peppermint and lemon oil applied to the bottom of the feet will reduce most fevers. For delicate skin, these drops should be added to a carrier oil such as coconut, almond, or olive oil.
Headaches- A bit of lavender applied to the temples can help to reduce some headaches, particularly those related to stress. Peppermint also helps with headaches.
Congestion- Eucalyptus oil is great for congestion. It can be applied to the chest (just a few drops in a carrier oil mix) or placed in a diffuser. It is particularly potent when combined with steam.
What are your favorite essential oils or herbs for home remedies?

Olive Leaf Extract
Hi all,
Personally I am a big fan of Olive Leaf Extract. I first encountered it when my daughter's Paediatrician recommended it. Olive Leaf Extract is useful in:
- Protecting the body from viruses, bacteria or retroviruses and curing colds, flues and pneumonias
- Improving circulation
- Aiding as a diuretic and digestive aid
- Decreasing the effects of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome by increasing energy and overall well being

Hi joshturner
I agree with you that herbal medication can be great but we must keep in mind that these medications, like any other, can have side effects. For instance there are certain herbal medications not recommended in pregnancy. It is always best to seek the assistance of a skilled professional before taking herbal medications, at least for the first time you use a particular herbal medication to treat a particular aliment, in a particular context.

America's Taco Shop is dedicating a day to Phoenix Children's Hospital with their 2nd annual Carne for a Cause event. On March 23, 20 percent of all proceeds from each purchase at all six Valley locations will be donated to this special initiative.

"Phoenix Children's Hospital provides needed care to so many children in our community. It is our honor to give back to the programs and individuals who make it all happen."
Carne for a Cause started last year after Bortin's two daughters wanted to give back to the children in the hospital after passing the colorful building every day. "Something struck a chord with them and they approached me about doing something to help," says Bortin.
Carne for a Cause will take place at all six Valley locations:
2041 N. 7th Street
Phoenix, Arizona 85006
4447 N. 7th Avenue
Phoenix, Arizona 85013
735 E. University Drive

Started in 2008 by the Bortins, America's Taco Shop specializes in authentic carne asada and al pastor, which is used in their tacos, burritos, tortas and more. America's Taco Shop has been dubbed "the home of the greatest carne asada" through many accolades in the Phoenix market including 20 Favorite Places for Tacos, 2011 Five Favorite Mexican Restaurants, Best Phoenix Mexican Food, Top 10 Mexican Restaurants, Best Sandwiches, Best New Restaurants, 2009 Best BBQ, Best Carne Asada, and more.

Hi All,
I need some help finding a nice-affordable place to stay in CR for 3-4 days in late July.
We are between Tamarindo and Playa Grande... This is not a 100% surf trip since I am traveling with my wife - but of course I plan to surf everyday so it would be great to have a nice surf spot close by. We are also planning to rent a car so we can move around town easily (traffic is actually not a problem to me - I lived in Peru till I was 25 years old).
Thank you in advanced for your help! I'm absolutely stoked about this trip - can't wait to get out of the freaking city!
