(CNSNews.com) - Sen. John McCain pledged Sunday on national television not to raise taxes under any circumstances if he is elected president.
"So on taxes, are you a 'read my lips' candidate, no new taxes, no matter what," host George Stephanopoulos asked the Arizona Republican on ABC's "This Week."
"No new taxes," McCain affirmed, before making an argument that taxes ought to be cut if the economy deteriorates.
"But under circumstances would you increase taxes?" Stephanopoulos asked in a follow-up question.
"No," said McCain.
McCain has taken heat during the Republican primary campaign for voting against the major tax cuts proposed by President Bush in 2001 and 2003. He was one of only a few congressional Republicans to do so.
Among Senate Republicans in 2001, only Lincoln Chaffee of Rhode Island joined McCain in voting against the Bush tax cut proposal. Among Senate Republicans in 2003, only Chafee and Olympia Snowe of Maine joined McCain in voting against Bush's second major tax cut.
McCain compounded conservative anger at this opposition to the Bush tax cuts by describing them as tax cuts made for the rich at the expense of the middle class, which was one of the principal argument marshaled against the tax cuts by congressional Democratic leaders and liberal commentators.
"I cannot in good conscience support a tax cut in which so many of the benefits go to the most fortunate among us, at the expense of middle class Americans who most need tax relief," McCain said on the Senate floor on May 26, 2001, when the tax cut came up for a vote.
When the 2003 tax cut came up for a final vote, McCain argued again that it was a tax cut for the rich and that the final version of the bill unfairly left out an amendment he had sponsored that would have provided additional tax breaks to members of the Armed Forces.
"Despite the recent successful war in Iraq, which highlighted the bravery and sacrifice of our military, the conferees provided nothing for them in this so-called growth bill," McCain said on the Senate floor on May 23, 2003. "The only thing growing will be the tax breaks for the wealthiest citizens of this country."
The 2001 tax-cut law reduced the marginal income tax rates, repealed the income-tax marriage penalty, provided a tax credit for dependent children, and temporarily repealed the federal estate tax. The 2003 tax-cut law accelerated the tax credit for dependent children and cut dividends and capital gains taxes.
The phrase "read my lips" became famous in the 1988 presidential campaign, when then-Vice President George H. W. Bush used it in his acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention to convince skeptical conservatives that he shared President Reagan's vision on taxes and that he would veto any tax increase that emerged from a Democratic Congress.
As president, the senior Bush did sign a major tax increase and was defeated for re-election in 1992 by then-Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton.

Winery website: www.betzfamilywinery.com
Often credited as one of the Washington State wine "grandfathers", Bob Betz of Betz Family Winery, has been razor-focused on producing some of that state's finest wines while refusing to play the "price-game" like many of his competitors do after getting good scores.
Twice a year, his winery holds a release party for their thousands of members (you can only purchase their wine if you're on that list or at very select retailers and restaurants) – and yes, there is a waiting list to be on the list.
I was up at the winery for their Spring 2012 release party – their next release will take place in the fall.
Weather didn't matter to fans of Betz Winery, they came out in droves from all over the Northwest to pick up their wines and for the chance to meet with the Betz Team – even though the winery is now a "Blended family" of the Betz's and the Griessel's you get the feeling as if they've been kin all their lives.
The parking lot was packed, police were hired to help manage the traffic going in and out of the main Redmond-Woodinville road and everyone's spirits were high.
The beautiful sky wasn't the only good thing about this day – the wines Bob and his crew released were showing well right now and will only be better with cellar time.
The release of Chapitre 3 was a rare treat for the folks as Betz only does this kind of wine every so often – it's priced at $85 because they produce less than 100 cases of it – needless to say, it sold out fast.
Every so often, they also release what's basically some "free-run" juice that's fermented and never touched with oak. It's light, fruity and tastes good slightly chilled – a good summertime wine but one that won't at all so you'll want to drink it this year.
The two bordeaux blends released were the 2009 Close de Betz (65% Merlot, 29% Cabernet Sauvignon and 6% petit verot) and Pere de Famille Cab (82%S Cab, 10% Petit Verdot and 8% Merlot).
Both were good, however, the Close de Betz – for me – was a bit too oakified right now – I'm hopeful most of that will drop with more time in the bottle and additionally, you can get rid of some of that with a long decant-time.
Right now, I'm preferring the red fruits that abound on the cab and would like to revisit the Merlot-based blend in another year or more to sew how it's coming along.
If you're not yet on their list, I'd highly encourage you to sign-up to get on the waiting list as their wines are highly sought after and represent some of the best of what Washington can do.
Here are pictures of some of the Betz Team – scoll over the pictures for the captions:

Guess where I'm eating from a caddy of Thai condiments?
Lori Midson
Despite the threat of "Thai hot" on the menu, the kitchen is predictably cautious, but the caddy of Thai condiments, all of which are chile-intensive, can turn "Thai hot" into a lip-blistering experience.

Jesus Crucifixion
Repentance and sorrow: pictures of Jesus crucifixion
According to Christian church and traditions, Good Friday (the Friday before Easter Sunday) is the day when we commemorate the crucifixion and death of Jesus Christ on the cross. We present you one of the most complete and selected collections of Jesus pics at the moment of crucifixion and death. In this way, you will be always able to remember the day that Jesus Christ died to save all of us. To save humanity.
Jesus on the cross, the image of pain and salvation
With these pictures of Jesus Christ you will be able to tell everybody that He died for each one of us to show us his unconditional love and that He cares for us. We are all protected by Jesus, and these pictures of Christ show us the sacrifice He made to save us.
Most of the people may find these pics of Jesus darker and sadder than the images of Jesus we are used to see. However, this was one of the most relevant moments in Jesus life and probably the one that defined the basis of Christianity.
So remember that even if these Jesus pics are dark, He is still the light inside us.
The cross, symbol and icon of generations
The cross is the main symbol of Christian religion, and the only images of Jesus containing the real Cross are the ones of the crucifixion. Here we can see, once again, the importance of this particular and specific moment in the Lord's life.
Just the fact of seeing these images of Christ on the cross will always be a rewarding personal experience that will benefit us and our beliefs. The Cross is a representation of Jesus giving himself and his body in order to redeem our sins, so it should not be seen as an object or place of torture, but a place of vindication for every Christian: a place where we are loved and forgiven.
Spread the word with Jesus images!
Share these Jesus pictures during the crucifixion, as well as the moments before and after the death on the cross. The images of Jesus on the Cross comfort, sensitize and transmit quiet and peace to everyone. Our advice is that you use these pics of Jesus together with some word that invite the viewer to a deep thought about their lives and acts.
One of the most memorable passages on the Bible will always be the passion and death of Jesus Christ, because of all the meaning behind it and the impact it has on every single person. So take advantage of it and share these pictures of Jesus crucifixion through e-mail or social media. Don't forget that you can also use them as greeting postcards –especially for condolences-, no matter if printed or electronic version.
You can also use these images of Christ on the cross for the background image of your cellphone or laptop, so you can remember the love of Jesus at any moment and at any time.

Worst Cake Month Ever!
Decorating By muddpuppy Updated 25 Oct 2010 , 11:51am by AmysCakesNCandies
I swear, there is some sort of moon wobble going on cause I have had nothing but disasters all month!! First, my laptop is fried, then I miss the polka dots on a top tier. My hot pink roses came out coral... I broke a porcelin cake topper and had to replace it... Then after chasing a groom-zilla for his week over due payment, he calls me the day before his wedding and says wheres my cake? ... R U kidding me??!! Then he proceeds to tell me that he sent me a message changing the date of delivery and its all my fault and then he swore at me.. GRRRR... All of his SIGNED contract, invoice, order form say OCT 23rd!!! I'm convinced he's crazy.. He then said he was cancelling and would make his own cake....I told him no refund on a cake cancelled the day before the wedding, go read the contract you signed.. He swore at me again and hung up.. Then This morning, after spending all night making Sleeping Beauty, a prince, and 3 fairies, I trip and drop all of them!! I couldn't save the prince,and had to remake everyone elses heads!!
I hope this unlucky cake streak ends now!! P.S... I save all correspondance with my customers and went through all of his emails... there was no date change... ggrrrrrrrrrr!!!
he calls me the day before his wedding and says wheres my cake?....
.... I told him no refund on a cake cancelled the day before the wedding...
I'm confused. If he cancelled the day before, why did he also call the day before asking where his cake was?
Oh sorry, while he was yelling at me that he had changed his date, he said he was cancelling and would make his own cake....
Remind him about small claims court. All the evidence is on your side. It doesn't cost much and he would end up having to pay your filing fee as well. Just do it and perhaps all your bad luck will change!
Oh sorry, while he was yelling at me that he had changed his date, he said he was cancelling and would make his own cake....
Oh... that's because the nutball knew he never told you about the date change. Normal people don't ask "where's my cake?" a day before their wedding (unless it really was to be delivered the day before). And even if it was so, they know there would be time to finish a cake before it's needed the next day, so he makes no sense. Probably buyer's remorse since he said he'd make his own cake rather than stating that he was going elsewhere. It's easy to see right through the excuses from people who have a hard time admitting that they simply don't have the money... they like to have someone else to blame it all on, like YOU did something wrong. (it makes them feel better.)
In light of the fact that hee hadn't paid you, my guess is he simply didn't have the money and thought if he barked loud enough and made you think that you made an error you would give it to him for free.
sorry you are having such a bad month... hope November is much better for you!

Assistant manager Leigh Dynan has urged fans not to panic after patched-up Farnborough were handed a pre-season wake-up call by Met Police on Tuesday night.
With boss Spencer Day on holiday, Dynan led a mixed side of first-teamers and trialists to Imber Court looking to add extra cohesion to the ranks ahead of the big season kick-off in a little over a fortnight's time.
Instead, they had no answer to the Ryman Premier outfit, who ruthlessly dished out a harsh reality check to concerned Boro fans about the perils of working with a playing budget described as "almost non-existent" by the boss himself just a couple of weeks ago.
But, despite the result and a somewhat disjointed performance, Dynan insists Boro remain on track and is backing his troops to show further progression when the make the trip to Biggleswade Town on Saturday.
"It's pre-season, it's not about results," Dynan said. "It's about taking a look at these players, different combinations and getting minutes in the legs.
"Of course, it's hard with the budget we have to work with but I'm encouraged with what we've seen so far. It'll be hard this season, we know that, but I'm a positive person and I think we'll be just fine. We have some good players here."
Undoubtedly one of the biggest positives of the night was the emergence of trialist Shamir Mullings, who was clearly Farnborough's most promising performer on view and came closest to breaching the Met Police line.
Mullings, 20, is a pacy winger/striker who was nurtured from the Southend United production line and has served loan spells with Bromley and Thamesmead Town.
He could be the next to agree a permanent deal at Cherrywood Road with Dynan adding: "I like him, he's young, strong and full of energy. I've spoken to a lot of people who have worked with him and when the gaffer comes back we'll definitely be talking to him."
Others still in the management's thoughts are ex-Reading midfielder Josh Webb, former Aylesbury utility man Jack Waldren, ex-Mansfield and Kidderminster midfielder Curtis Shaw and goalkeeper Charlie Granger, who is expected to agree a season-long loan from Leyton Orient this week after impressing in the last two friendlies.
Dynan says the door has also been left open for former Hayes & Yeading defender-cum-striker Geoff Mitchell, with the Brazilian quartet of Nelson Celestino, Andre Marques, Lucas Marquez and wonderkid Enrique – who became an internet sensation with a 60-yard wondergoal against Oxford United a fortnight ago – also in the hunt for permanent deals provided they can secure accommodation in the area.
"It's coming together nicely," Dynan said. "There's a lot of players to talk to but we know our targets and I'm expecting another couple to be signed in the next few days when the gaffer gets back."
Two goals in the final five minutes from Ryan James and ex-Aldershot loanee Charlie Collins put a somewhat flattering slant on Met Police's victory after left-back Michael Gutteridge had given them a first-half lead.
Mullings and Matt Ball went closest for Farnborough, who now take on Southern Premier side Biggleswade on Saturday before making to trip to Tonbridge Angels on Tuesday night.
BORO: Granger; Rodgers, Waldren, Enrique, Siaw, Ferrell, Shaw, Ball, Taylor, Page, Mullings. Subs (from): Celestino, Benjamin, Debayo, Webb, Hill A Marques, L Marques.

This diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is a generic powertrain code, which means that it applies to OBD-II equipped vehicles (GMC, Chevrolet, Ford, Dodge, Chrysler, VW, Toyota, Honda, etc.). Although generic, the specific repair steps may vary depending on make/model.
When an OBD-II equipped vehicle has a stored P014F code, it means that the powertrain control module (PCM) has detected a slow response time from the upstream (first one after the exhaust leaves the engine, in front of catalytic converter) oxygen (O2) sensor or circuit for engine bank two. Bank 2 specifies the bank of the engine which does not contain the #1 cylinder.
Automotive O2 / oxygen sensors are constructed using a zirconium dioxide sensing element which is protected by a specially designed, vented, steel housing. Platinum electrodes are used to attach the sensing element to wire leads in the O2 sensor wiring harness which is connected to the PCM through the controller area network (CAN). The PCM is supplied with an electrical signal according to the percentage of oxygen particles in the engine exhaust compared to the oxygen content of ambient air.
Exhaust gases are pushed into the exhaust manifold(s) and down pipe(s) where they flow over/through the upstream O2 sensor. Exhaust flows through the O2 sensor vent holes (in the steel housing) and across the sensing element and ambient air is drawn through the wire lead cavities where it is trapped in a small chamber in the center of the sensor. The trapped ambient air (in the chamber) is heated by the exhaust, forcing the oxygen ions to produce (energy) voltage.
Deviations between the concentration of oxygen molecules in ambient air (drawn into the center cavity of the O2 sensor) and the concentration of oxygen ions in the spent exhaust gases, cause the heated oxygen ions inside the O2 sensor to jump between platinum layers very rapidly and repetitiously. Fluctuations in voltage occur as the rushing oxygen ions jump between the layers of the platinum electrodes. These variations in voltage are identified by the PCM as changes in exhaust oxygen concentration which indicate that the engine is either running lean (too little fuel) or rich (too much fuel). When more oxygen is present in the exhaust (lean condition), the voltage signal from the O2 sensor is low and is higher when less oxygen is present in the exhaust (rich condition). This data is used by the PCM primarily to calculate fuel delivery and ignition timing strategy but also to monitor catalytic converter efficiency.
If the O2 sensor in question fails to cycle as rapidly and/or regularly as expected, over a set period of time and under certain predetermined circumstances, a P014F code will be stored and a malfunction indicator lamp may be illuminated.
Other O2 sensor slow response trouble codes include:
- P013A O2 Sensor Slow Response - Rich to Lean (Bank 1 Sensor 2)
- P013B O2 Sensor Slow Response - Lean to Rich (Bank 1 Sensor 2)
- P013C O2 Sensor Slow Response - Rich to Lean (Bank 2 Sensor 2)
- P013D O2 Sensor Slow Response - Lean to Rich (Bank 2 Sensor 2)
- P014C O2 Sensor Slow Response - Rich to Lean (Bank 1 Sensor 1)
- P014D O2 Sensor Slow Response - Lean to Rich (Bank 1 Sensor 1)
- P014E O2 Sensor Slow Response - Rich to Lean (Bank 2 Sensor 1)
Code Severity & Symptoms
Since a P014F code means that an O2 sensor has remained slow for an extended period of time, it should be categorized as severe.
Symptoms of this code may include:
- Lowered fuel efficiency
- A general lack engine performance
- Other related diagnostic trouble codes may also be stored
- Service engine soon lamp illumination
Potential causes for this code to set are:
- Defective O2 sensor(s)
- Burnt, broken, or disconnected wiring and/or connectors
- Defective catalytic converter
- Engine exhaust leaks
Diagnostic and Repair Procedures
Some of the main tools that I would require to diagnose a code P014F are a diagnostic scanner, a digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM), and a reliable vehicle information source (All Data DIY).
Before trying to diagnose a code P014F, all engine misfire codes, throttle position sensor codes, manifold air pressure codes, and mass air flow sensor codes must be diagnosed and repaired. An engine that is not running efficiently will cause all sorts of codes to be stored (and rightly so).
Professional technicians typically start with a visual inspection of system wiring harnesses and connectors. We focus on harnesses that are routed near hot exhaust pipes and manifolds, as well as those that are routed near sharp edges like the ones found on exhaust shields.
Search technical service bulletins (TSB) in your vehicle information source. If you find one that matches the symptoms and code/s presented by the vehicle in question, it will very likely aid you in your diagnosis. TSB listings are compiled from thousands of successful repairs.
Next, I like to connect the scanner to the vehicle diagnostic port and retrieve all stored trouble codes and freeze frame data. This information may be helpful if the P014F proves to be intermittent so write it down for later. Now, clear the codes and see if the P014F is reset.
If the code is reset, start the engine, allow it to reach normal operating temperature, and then let it idle (with the transmission in neutral or park). Use the scanner data stream to observe O2 sensor input data.
Narrow the data stream display to include only pertinent data and you will see a faster and more accurate data response. If the engine is running efficiently, upstream O2 sensor data should fluctuate regularly between 1-millivolt (.100-volts) and 9-millivolts (.900-olts). If voltage fluctuations are slower than expected, a P014F will be stored.
You can connect the DVOM test leads to the sensor ground and signal wires in order to monitor live data from the O2 sensor. You may also use it to check resistance of the O2 sensor in question, as well as voltage and ground signals. To prevent control module damage, disconnect related controllers prior to testing system circuit resistance with the DVOM.
Additional diagnostic notes:
- Once the PCM has entered closed loop operation, downstream O2 sensors should not cycle as regularly as upstream sensors
- Low grade replacement (or remanufactured) catalytic converters are susceptible to repeated failure and should be avoided

New York (Feb. 18)
An official report on the number of Jews who have survived Nazi occupation has been received from Moscow by the World Jewish Congress, revealing that in 38 liberated Russian and Polish cities and towns the aggregate Jewish population has been reduced from a pre-war 400,000 to 3,122, less than 1 per cent, Dr. Stephen S. Wise, president of the Congress, disclosed today.
The information is the result of a comparative census by the Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee in Moscow. The survey shows that the cities of Lublin, Vilna, Bialystok, and Kovno, which had an aggregate Jewish population of 203,000 before the war, now have 1,878. The metropolis of Riga, which in 1939 had tens of thousands of Jews and, later, 100,000 more whom the Nazis deported from the Ukraine, today has only 158. In some towns not a single Jew was found by the Soviet armies.

Dear Sugar--
I'm a single 24 year old virgin. I haven't dated too many men and I'm not sexually active or even that experienced. I started to masturbate recently, but after I have an orgasm I feel guilty and a little dirty. I don't think there's anything wrong with masturbation, but I don't know why I feel like this or how to get rid of the feeling.
--Feeling Guilty Greta
To see DEARSUGAR's answer
Dear Feeling Guilty Greta-
First of all, I need to say that I completely agree with you - there is nothing wrong with masturbation. I'm in full support of it 100%. Figuring out what you like sexually on your own will help you out immensely when you are ready to be intimate with someone else. If you already know what pleases you, all you need to do is feel confident enough to ask for it.
Now you said that you are a virgin, and fairly inexperienced when it comes to sex. Is this by choice? Do your religious or cultural beliefs forbid you from experimenting sexually? Were you taught by your parents or in school that sex or pleasure was a dirty thing? There's a reason that you feel guilty after masturbating - someone must have placed that idea in your head, so if you can get to the root of those negative feelings, then you can figure out how to get past them.
Also, since you're new to pleasuring yourself, it'll take some time before you feel comfortable with it. I'm sure everyone feels a little naughty or sneaky when it comes to being sexual - that's part of the fun. Whatever you do, just try to put the bad feelings out of your mind and focus on the fact that you are doing something to show yourself love and affection. Being sexual is one of the greatest parts about being human so have fun!

Sorrell: With Age Brings Caution
Sir Martin Sorrell, founder and CEO of advertising giant WPP, wants to save his reputation as a sage of economic forecasting.
He's keen to get his latest forecasts right after misreading the tea-leaves last year. And perhaps to regain the upper hand in his fierce rivalry with Maurice Levy, CEO of WPP's French peer Publicis.
Presenting 2009 earnings, Sorrell conceded Friday that WPP got it badly wrong a year ago, when it was slow to predict the scale of the downturn that hit the advertising industry.
In March last year, WPP forecast a 2% fall in closely-eyed organic revenue. At that time, in the depths of the downturn, Publicis' Levy refrained from giving guidance.
That caution seems wise in hindsight: WPP's organic revenue fell 8.1% in 2009.
A year later, Sorrell has learned to be more cautious himself; for 2010 he is forecasting flat organic revenue…

In order to improve its stability and catalytic rate in flour, the immobilization of glucose oxidase (GOX) was investigated in this work. The enzyme was encapsulated in calcium alginate-chitosan microspheres (CACM) using an emulsification-internal gelation-GOX adsorption-chitosan coating method. The interaction between alginate and chitosan was confirmed by infrared spectroscopy (IR). The resultant CACM in wet state, whose morphology was investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), was spherical with a mean diameter of about 26 μm. The GOX load, encapsulation efficiency and activity of the CACM-GOX were influenced by concentration of chitosan, encapsulation time and encapsulation pH. The highest total enzymatic activity and encapsulation efficiency was achieved when the pH of the adsorption medium was near the isoelectric point (p
Applying enzymes instead of chemical oxidants is a very interesting option to improve the bread-making performance of dough since they are considered as natural and non-toxic food components. Currently, the baking industry is deeply involved in research on alternatives to potassium bromate due to its potential hazards. Glucose oxidase (GOX) (EC 126.96.36.199) is the preferred enzyme alternative to chemical oxidizing agents for bread improvement and has been cited for commercial use. It is a dimeric protein with a molecular weight of 160 kDa, containing one tightly but noncovalently bound flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) per monomer as cofactor and glycosylated with a carbohydrate content of 16% (w/w). In the presence of oxygen, GOX catalyzes the oxidation of β-
There are still some deficiencies of GOX despite its good effects on flour, and its encapsulation and immobilization has being studied due to its high oxidization rate and low stability in flour. As a fast-acting oxidant, GOX reduces the elasticity of dough immediately after mixing because of the abundant H2O2 generated during that period, which accounts for the dry and strong dough as well as bread with low volume and poor crumb [
The basic idea behind enzyme immobilization is to entrap the protein in a semi-permeable support material that prevents the enzyme from leaving while allowing substrates, products and co-factors to pass through. The catalytic rate of the enzyme inside the microcapsules could be adjusted by the thickness of its wall material. Compared with free enzymes in solution, the immobilized ones are more robust and resistant to environmental changes. The immobilized GOX in the microspheres can not only prevent enzyme from denaturing but can also delay the generation of H2O2 in dough.
Alginate is by far the most widely used polymer in immobilization and micro-encapsulation technologies [
Chitosan is another natural polymer that has gained tremendous interests in immobilization technology. Chitosan is used either as a means of coating alginate beads in order to alter the diffusion rate of the GOX [
The purpose of the present work was to encapsulate GOX into CACM with high encapsulation efficiency and residual activity. Immobilization conditions including the concentration and molecular weight of chitosan, encapsulation pH and absorption time were optimized. Thermal and storage stabilities of CACM-GOX compared with that of free enzyme were also studied in the paper.
All chemicals and reagents used in this work were food-grade or reagent-grade. Glucose oxidase (Gluzyme Mono) containing 10,000 glucose oxidase units/g was kindly supplied by Novo Nordisk (Shanghai, China). Alginate (sodium salt, viscosity of 1.5% solution at 30 °C is 2100 cps) was purchased from Sinopharm Chemistry Reagent (Co Ltd., Shanghai, China). Chitosans with different molecular weights and 91% deacetylation degree were purchased from Yuhuan Ocean Biochemistry (Co Ltd., Zhejiang, China).
A modified emulsification-internal gelatin method [
One milliliter GOX of 1 mg/mL in a 0.2 M buffer solution of pH 4 (sodium acetic-acetic acid) was added into 2 mL CaAlg gel beads (dry weight of 7.7 mg/mL). The adsorption experiments were carried out for 60 min at 4 °C, followed by incubating the GOX CaAlg gel beads in 1 mL 1% (w/v) chitosan acetic acid solution (1%, v/v) for 10 min at 4 °C, shaking quickly to ensure the reaction uniform. The CACM beads (0.74 mL, dry weight of 24.9 mg) were washed twice with 10 mL deionized water and blended with 0.26 mL 0.2 M acetic buffer solution of pH 6 for activity assay.
The activities of free GOX and CACM-GOX were measured by the DNSA method [
Microsphere features such as shape and existence of aggregates were examined after isolation by an optical microscope Olympus CKX41 equipped with a digital camera (Olympus DP12, Japan). CACM was stained by neutral fuchsin. Scanning electron microscopy (Quanta-200, FEI, Holland) was utilized to observe the morphology of coated microspheres. The particle size and size distribution of the CaAlg gel beads and the CACM were determined by a particle size analyzer (Mastersizer 2000, Malvern, Worcestershire, UK).
Infrared (IR) spectra of alginate, chitosan, and CACM were recorded with a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (270-30, Hitachi, Wuxi, China). Freeze-dried samples were scanned from 600 to 4000 cm−1 at a resolution of 4 cm−1.
To investigate optimum encapsulation pH and the total activity of CACM-GOX, 2 mL CaAlg gel beads (dry weight of 7.7 mg/mL) were added into 1 mL GOX of 1 mg/mL prepared in 0.2 M acetate buffer at pH 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, 5.0 and 0.2 M phosphate buffer at pH 6.0 and 7.0. Encapsulation mixture was kept at 4 °C for 80 min. The experiment revealed that GOX was stable under pH 4.5 and 5.0 and no deactivation or precipitation was observed. The encapsulation efficiency was calculated in terms of the change of GOX activity in the supernatant before and after incubation of CaAlg gel beads in enzyme solutions.
One percent (w/v) chitosan solutions were prepared by dissolving chitosans, which had the same degree of deacetylation (91%) but different molecular weight of 20,000 (LMW), 100,000 (MMWa), 200,000 (MMWb) and 450,000 (HMW), into 1% acetic acid solution. The GOX adsorption experiments were carried out as above followed by incubating the GOX CaAlg gel beads in each chitosan solution for 10 min at 4 °C.
Chitosan acetic acid solutions of 0.5%, 1% and 2% with a predetermined molecular weight were prepared. 1 mL GOX solution was added into 2 mL CaAlg gel beads. Encapsulations were carried out for 10, 20, 40, 60 and 80 min separately, followed by incubation in each chitosan acetic acid solution (pH 4.0) for 10 min. The amounts of GOX loaded and activities of CACM-GOX were determined based on dry weight of the particles. The amount of GOX loaded was calculated by the following equation. Protein values were determined by the method of Lowry.
Free GOX solution containing 1 mg/mL enzyme protein in 0.2 M buffer (pH 6.0) and CACM-GOX (dry weight of 33.65 mg/mL, pH 6.0) with an activity of 8.86 U/mL were kept at 4 °C and 25 °C, and the residual activities of these samples were measured periodically for 60 days and 60 hours, respectively.
Each experiment was repeated three times. The results were expressed as means ± S.D. and analyzed by SAS (a statistical computer program; version 8) analysis of variance method.
The morphology of microspheres was determined in terms of their final shape and granulometry. Wet CaAlg beads presented as spherical by optical micrographs (
The micrographs of calcium-alginate microspheres (MMWb chitosans of 1.0%) of about 30 μm and approximate to regular spherical shape with a smooth external surface are shown in
The particle size and size distribution of a representative preparation of CaAlg beads and CACM are presented in
In order to confirm alginate-chitosan interactions, samples were analyzed by IR spectroscopy.
For the alginate-chitosan beads, the band around 3500–3100 cm−1 became broader, which illustrated hydrogen bonding was enhanced [
To establish the optimum pH value for the encapsulation of GOX into CaAlg, the pH of encapsulation medium was changed between 3.0 and 7.0. As seen in
Four chitosan solutions with different molecular weights were selected to investigate the effects of molecular weight on the activity of GOX in the supernatant. The latter was calculated by measuring the difference between the total activity of GOX added in the preparation medium and the residual activity remaining in the aqueous supernatant suspension after the absorption process. As shown in
The encapsulation efficiency increased rapidly in the initial 20 min of absorption time and then slightly rose up to 80 min for the chitosans with high molecular weight. Chitosans of MMWb and HMW had similar variation law of encapsulation efficiency with high efficiencies of 93.1% and 91.1%, respectively, at 60 min. The egg-box structure formed by Ca2+ and alginate resulted in many channels, beneficial to entrance of GOX into CaAlg beads [
The effects of chitosan concentration and encapsulation time on the encapsulation efficiency, the amount of GOX loaded and the total activity of CACM-GOX were evaluated. As seen in
The amount of GOX loaded and the total activity of CACM-GOX also increased gradually with extending encapsulation time due to more and more protein absorption onto CaAlg beads. They were also influenced by the concentration of chitosan as the total weight of CACM increased due to more chitosan coating on the surface of CaAlg beads with increasing concentration. The phenomenon that chitosan competed with GOX for absorption [
The specific CACM-GOX activity, to measure the catalytic rate of the immobilized enzyme, was taken as the ratio of total CACM-GOX activity to the encapsulation efficiency. It was maximum in the presence of 0.5% chitosan, the next was 1.0% followed by 2% (
Free GOX solution containing 1 mg/mL enzyme protein in 0.2 M sodium phosphate buffer (pH 6.0) and CACM-GOX (dry weight of 33.65 mg/mL, pH 6.0) with an activity of 8.86 U/mL were kept at 4 °C and 25 °C, and residual activities of these samples were measured periodically for 60 days and 60 hours, respectively.
The immobilized GOX was much more thermally stable than the free. After 30 h incubation at 25 °C, free and immobilized GOX retained activities of 15.5% and 83.0%, respectively. Subsequently, the activity of CACM-GOX clearly decreased as seen in
The storage stabilities of the CACM-GOX and free GOX were investigated at 4 °C and the results are shown in
The necessary conditions for successful encapsulation of GOX into CACM microspheres using an emulsification-internal gelation-enzyme adsorption-coating by chitosan method with high residual activity had been established.
Total activity of CACM-GOX and encapsulation efficiency were dependent on the adsorption medium pH with much higher activity and encapsulation efficiency at pH values near the p

Friars hand UConn second loss
PROVIDENCE, R.I. - Marcos Ugarte scored the only goal as Providence College pulled off a stunning 1-0 upset of the third-ranked Connecticut Huskies, 1-0, Wednesday afternoon at Glay Field, handing UConn only its second loss of the season.
After being outshot in the first half, 3-2, the Friars carried the play to start the second. Their game winner came in the 55th minute with a cross from senior Keith Jecewiz , finding the foot of Ugarte who sent the ball screaming into the back of the net. The goal was Ugarte's second of the season, bringing his point total to six on the season. Jecewiz's assist brings his point total up to eight.
The Friars led a vicious attack later in the second off another Jecewiz cross that forced Connecticut goalie, Andre Blake, to make an impressive stop.
The first half yielded no score, but was stressful for both sides. Connecticut had two opportunities coming as corners in the 23rd and 34th minutes, forcing the Friars to set a strong defensive front. The Friars' best opportunity came in the 21st minute with a blinding shot from sophomore Thomas Ballenthin . A few minutes later, Ugarte led another attack, sending a shot wide.
Wednesday's game marked only the third time the Huskies have trailed a team all season, one being their only other loss coming from No. 5 Marquette on Oct. 6.
Red shirt goalkeeper sophomore Keasal Broome kept Friar hopes alive in the last 10 minutes registering two saves. The win was the first for the Friars against the Huskies since 2009, and improves the Friars' record to 4-9-2 (2-5-1 BIG EAST).
The win keeps Providence's hopes of making the Big East tournament alive, as both the Friars and Seton Hall enter Saturday with six Big East points apiece, and tied in the Blue Division. The Friars will meet the Huskies again this Saturday, October 27 at Joseph Morrone Stadium on the Storrs campus for their final game of the regular season.

Bottles from Corvus Vineyards made by the prominent Turkish architect Resist Soley on Bozcaada are among the finest offerings.
The small amount of invention needed to counteract the Corvus was not apparently within the compass of the Carthaginian rulers.
Corvus (the Crow) is represented as standing on the tail of Hydra.
This says volumes for the force of character of Corvus macrorhynchus.
Dr. Forbes says this bird is of about half the size again of a Corvus cornix.
Several of the mythical characteristics of the crow, indeed, the principal ones, are also ascribed to the magpie (Corvus pica).
This bird seems nearly allied to the Jay (Corvus glandarius).
DeMan treated the nerves of Paradisea papuana, Corvus monedula, and the chicken; he also commented briefly on a few other species.
Chief of these is that arch-villain Corvus splendens—the Indian house-crow.
This day one of the men shot a bird of the Corvus genus, which was feeding on some fragments of meat near the camp.

of removing laboratory equipment that was
not his.
After the Nature articles, Sally Mason,
provost of Purdue, hurriedly organized an inquiry committee in March 2006 and said it
would have a decision by June. The focus of
the inquiry was not whether Mr. Taleyarkhan
had created bubble fusion, but whether he
had interfered with the subsequent supporting demonstration by his student, Mr. Xu.
During this time, Mr. Taleyarkhan says, two
more scientists came into his laboratory and
independently verified bubble fusion. Mr.
Taleyarkhan contends that both were experts
and did their work independently of him. But
in interviews, both researchers contradict aspects of that account. One of those scientists,
Edward R. Forringer, a professor of physics at
Le Tourneau University, in Texas, says he is
certainly not an expert. Nonetheless, he says
he is confident that his results do support the
reality of bubble fusion.
The other scientist mentioned by Mr. Taleyarkhan is William Bugg, a retired particle-detection specialist from the University of
Tennessee. He says he checked for californium, but at a certain point he had to trust Mr.
Taleyarkhan and his laboratory. However, he
freely admits that he did not actually conduct
the experiment. He watched Mr. Taleyarkhan
do the work.
After conducting its inquiry, Purdue sided
with Mr. Taleyarkhan, saying in a brief February 2007 news release that there was no evidence of misconduct. But the questions have
not subsided. Two weeks ago, the House
Committee on Science and Technology started an investigation, saying that it had concerns both about the research itself and about
the way Purdue conducted its inquiry.
Researchers have not totally given up on
Mr. Taleyarkhan's idea. Many who criticize
his methods, and even those who accuse him
of fraud, reluctantly say bubble fusion may
work someday. However, that day will probably not be soon and may not be in the United
States. Mr. Lahey, Mr. Taleyarkhan's former
adviser, still has hope for bubble fusion and is
an avid supporter of Purdue's work, but he
says that federal money for the technology
has all but dried up in this country. He looks
to Europe, where he says laboratories are still
working on the problem.
"For any of us who've been involved with
it, there's no doubt that it is real," he says,
adding "I've learned in this business it ain't
over 'til it's over."
The problem, says Mr. Lahey, is not with
Mr. Taleyarkhan's science, but with the way
he described to others how to build the cell.
"It was like a chef who knows how to make a
great meal, but he doesn't know what's in
there," he says. Mr. Lahey says the first cells
were built "to taste," moving a piece here,
shaving down a piston there, leaving other researchers to more or less do the same.
Mr. Putterman rejects that assessment and
says the problems were more basic than a few
tweaks to the system. He adds that he had
more to gain than lose if Mr. Taleyarkhan had
succeeded. "I would be thrilled if he was right
and he had fusion," he says.
Another person hoping to gain from bubble fusion was Ross Tessien, president and
founder of Impulse Devices Inc., in Grass Valley, Calif. He has spent $4-million trying to get
bubble fusion to work, even hiring Mr. Taleyarkhan as a consultant.
Mr. Tessien says he still thinks of Mr. Taleyarkhan as a friend but "walks the fence" as
to whether Mr. Taleyarkhan ever created
bubble fusion. He says Mr. Taleyarkhan's designs were impossible to follow, and the machine was prone to problems.
"It's a nightmare to run it, and it breaks,"
he says. "The only reason we got it to run as
close as we did was because it was our sole
purpose in life."
However, the California engineer says he
had some success with Mr. Taleyarkhan's design. After years of tinkering, Mr. Tessien
claims to have achieved temperatures up to
almost one million degrees in the collapsing
bubbles. But bubble fusion would require the
bubbles to collapse hard enough to reach 10
million degrees, a vital factor of 10 times
more that is difficult to achieve.
Today, Mr. Taleyarkhan has little regret for
how he presented bubble fusion to the world.
Rather than spending more time helping scientists like Mr. Putterman, he says he wishes
he had ignored them altogether.
Mr. Taleyarkhan's unwillingness to help anyone he sees as having "vested interests" seems
to breed mistrust in critics, who call him over-secretive. Mr. Lahey says Mr. Taleyarkhan was
one of the best students he ever had, but he
also says the man can be a "bulldog" who
sometimes irritates the egos of other scientists.
Thor Swift for the Chronicle
Ross Tessien, president and founder of Impulse Devices, has spent
more than $4-million in pursuit of workable bubble fusion.
Sitting in his laboratory on the day Congress announced its investigation, Mr. Taleyarkhan conceded that the controversy has
taken its toll on him. He has become an outcast at conferences, bubble fusion grants have
dried up, and most of his research financing is
dwindling. Since March of 2006, he has had a
pervasive ringing in his ears.
"The doctors say it's stress related," he
He walks around the laboratory and
points out the work his students are doing
using bubbles to detect radioactive material.
Many of those students are undergraduates,
and he admits he has had to turn graduate
students away because of "internal problems" in the school.
Neither he nor his students are now doing
any work in bubble fusion.
Several students gather around one apparatus, and Mr. Taleyarkhan explains that
by spinning a water-filled glass tube, they
can "stretch" the water and create pressure
on a cork at the top of the device. Then, using a laser to release that energy, they can
fire the cork at the ceiling at "near-lethal
The students start the device, and the
tubes begin to spin. Finally, Mr. Xu, who still
works in the laboratory, turns on the laser.
The cork pops out anemically and bounces
to the ground. There is a brief disappointed
silence. Science can be hard to do when
everybody is watching.
In an official request for documents
from Purdue University, a U.S. House
of Representatives committee has
questioned the credibility of the university's investigation into research misconduct
by one of its scientists.
In March 2006, Purdue's administration
hastily put together a committee to look
into the research of Rusi P. Taleyarkhan, a
professor of nuclear engineering. The
thrust of the inquiry was not to determine
whether Mr. Taleyarkhan had achieved
bubble fusion, which he claimed to have
done, but whether he had ghost-written a
paper by two students, Yiban Xu and
Adam Butt, confirming his own work.
Under federal guidelines, reviews of research misconduct should be based on written allegations and come in two phases: an
open-ended inquiry and, should the inquiry
find cause, an investigation. In July, after
four months of inquiry, Purdue announced
it would convene a more formal investigation. Including a fact-finding committee
formed by the head of the School of Nuclear Engineering, this would be the third
Purdue committee to look into the matter.
In an interview, Sally Mason, provost of
Purdue, said the first formal written allegations of misconduct against Mr. Taleyarkhan came in September 2006 from
Lefteri Tsoukalas, head of the School of
Nuclear Engineering. However, Mr. Tsoukalas points to e-mail messages sent to the
provost's office as early as October 2005
in which he questions the authorship of
Mr. Xu and Mr. Butt's paper. He also
points to a June letter to the provost's of-
fice written by Kenneth Suslick, a chemist
at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and a critic of bubble fusion,
that made serious accusations.
Though Mr. Tsoukalas says he spoke to
the inquiry committee, neither he nor Mr.
Suslick were contacted by the investigation
committee, nor were two other scientists
who had made detailed accusations. Ms. Mason declined to comment on who was contacted by the committee, but said she felt the
work of the committee was thorough.
The Congressional letter cited a lack of
meticulous inquiry as well as a report by
the original fact-finding committee. In that
report, Mr. Butt said he did not write one
of the confirmation papers listing him as
an author and never even read the other
before it was published. In the letter, Mr.
Xu told the Purdue committee that he
could not "state who had written the final
article, saying it would jeopardize the '
confirmatory' nature of the research."
Ms. Mason stands behind the second Purdue committee's eventual finding that there
was insufficient evidence of research misconduct. Instead, she says the charges are
related to internal strife in the department.
"What you've got are really some individuals here who, for whatever reason, are
pretty unhappy with each other and are
going at it tooth and nail," she says. "And
they really like to use whoever they can as
a scapegoat to make a point."
In December, Mr. Tsoukalas stepped
down as head of the school in protest, he
says, of the administration's dragging its
feet. —Erik Vance

Apple iMac DV Blueberry known as PPC G3 400 MHz-64 MB-10 GB-CRT 15"
Unlike previous iMac models,the iMac "Slot Loading" series is convection cooled for quieter operation and lacks the internal metal housing for a more translucent appearance.The Apple iMac G3/400 DV (Slot Loading - Fruit Colors),based on the Kihei architecture,features a 400 MHz PowerPC 750 (G3) processor,512k backside level 2 cache,64 MB of RAM,a 10.0 GB Ultra ATA hard drive,a slot loading 4X DVD-ROM drive,ATI Rage 128 VR 2D/3D (AGP 2X) graphics with 8 MB of VRAM,and a Harmon-Kardon designed sound system packed into a translucent colorful all-in-one case design with a 15-inch CRT display.Like the low-end iMac G3/350 (Slot Loading-Blueberry,No Firewire) released at the same time,the iMac G3/400 DV (Slot Loading-Fruit Colors) has a slot loading optical drive -- as one would expect given its informal name and support for an optional AirPort (802.11b) wireless card. The "Blueberry,No Firewire" and "DV" models also share a system bus,RAM standard (PC100),hard drive standard (Ultra ATA), video processor,and sound system all superior to the iMac G3/333 (Fruit Colors) series that the "Slot Loading" models replaced. However,the iMac G3/400 "DV"--which stands for "Digital Video" has a DVD-ROM drive instead of CD-ROM,and adds dual Firewire "400" ports and a VGA video out port.

I hope this information is helpful for you
When you see an Apple product- you immediately have high hopes for it- but i may warn this is one of the earlier apple products realised ! Compared to other I-mac's - you will probably be disappointed by this- but in terms of it price now- and given it was top of the range in it's day- i think it's okay value for money.
You get 5 colours lime ,strawberry pink ,blue dark purple, and a yellow/orange colour.
It has the option for you to slow in DVD and CD player but sometimes i have problems with this being small it can get jammed quite easily.
You could still use this for basic surfing as the graphics are okay.
The Apple iMac DV Blueberry specification for those interested:
atures a 400 MHz PowerPC 750 (G3) processor, 512k backside level 2 cache, 64 MB of RAM, a 10.0 GB Ultra ATA hard drive, a slot loading 4X DVD-ROM drive, ATI Rage 128 VR 2D/3D (AGP 2X) graphics with 8 MB of VRAM, and a Harmon-Kardon designed sound system packed into a translucent colorful all-in-one case design with a 15-inch CRT display.
An upgrade is available but i think that you might aswlel pay for a more recent product than do this for the sake of your money.
I think if your looking for a basic model- something that looks good and you can use for basic/home use then i would recommend this product but there are far superior in the market!
So this was officially my first piece of tech and I've never looked back from the beloved Apple brand. It is however rather old now, dated and doesn't do much in terms of what the last few iMacs have offered. It was hover at the top of its game when it came out. The best thing about this piece is the way it looks and its clear perspex outer shell.
It was made in the same five colors; lime (lime green), strawberry (pinkish-red), blueberry (royal blue), grape (purple), and tangerine (orange-yellow) as the earlier "Fruit Colors" iMac models, but can be quickly distinguished by the slot loading optical drive, as well as the dual Firewire 400 ports.
It has a slot loading dvd/cd player which is attractive enough but there isn't a way to release the disk if it gets jammed so you're in a bit of a pickle.
You could still use this for basic surfing as the graphics are okay.
The Apple iMac DV Blueberry, based on the Kihei architecture, features a 400 MHz PowerPC 750 (G3) processor, 512k backside level 2 cache, 64 MB of RAM, a 10.0 GB Ultra ATA hard drive, a slot loading 4X DVD-ROM drive, ATI Rage 128 VR 2D/3D (AGP 2X) graphics with 8 MB of VRAM, and a Harmon-Kardon designed sound system packed into a translucent colorful all-in-one case design with a 15-inch CRT display. You can upgrade the storage but I doubt it would be worth it for what you'd be using it for.
Overall this is a cute, fun machine that if you've still got lying around is perfect for the kids to have a little surf on the internet or practice writing. Anything else and you'll need to upgrade models.
The i Mac is the best selling computer all times and visually beautiful in its design. The transparent housing serves mainly the beautiful light refraction, He does a good job with 400 MHz not the fastest, but perhaps the most durable computer. He is now indeed already a few years old, but still good about it. The Slotln drive at the front has no dropouts. Sorry, but there is no burner is available. The development of the second-hand market is ok, you can still get good collectors and enthusiasts prices. It is also worthwhile to sell this computer to be defective, because even then, there is still much in demand. The i Mac is actually as internet access to retrieve mail or surf. Games can only play limited there to since the graphics card now obsolete and is too old. Smaller games and flash animations but are not a problem.This all-in-one agreed design and ease of use in one and I can only recommend this Mac. Anyone who uses graphical applications, which I can advise, because that this Mac is just too old for children and beginners with OS9 or OSX this device, however, is great. And he was good enough for surfing.
The services has 2 speakers, 2 USB 1.O ports and Fire ware, unfortunately only 10 GB of hard drive space and performance of this one is very good and design is very stylish, it also with many features, it fastest and easiest way on the internet. The price is also low.
When this computer came out it was top of its class and very impressive. Now however it struggles to do most things apart from look amazing.
It runs on the old Power PC architecture and has a 400MHz processor, however, from a new install it is still quite swift at editing video with the supplied software. The 10gb hard drive is no where near sufficient for any serious video editing that you'd like to do. However it is upgradeable quite easily to something larger, say a 120gb one.
It has a slot loading dvd/cd player which looks quite cool but you're a bit stuck if a cd gets jammed or stuck inside, as there is no manual release like on tray loaders.
The graphics are acceptable for something this old but don't expect to play any recent, nay ANY games on this thing.
It performs office tasks mediocrely with a bit of grunting and noise from inside, and it freezes if you do to many things at once (e.g. work on a spreadsheet and a presentation at the same time) due to its 64mb of RAM.
Overall, if you're looking for a computer that's cheap and you can write the occasional letter on, this can be it, just don't expect to do much else on it.

Mental Health
Have Mental Health Questions? Ask a Psychiatrist Online
Hi, I'm Norman. Are you ready to chat?
I see that you are still offline, so I am going to switch this to Question and Answer mode and leave a reply ready for your return.
The very brief answer to why the rude reply is that she felt guilty about what she had done, but simply had no way to justify it. It was her way of closing the incident off to further discussion.
The first thing is that you have to do sure that you are clear in your own mind as to what standards of behaviour are acceptable, and which are not. Then she has to learn to meet those standards. Think about things like controlling her temper, showing respect, not coming home drunk and so on.
Make sure that she understands that you are NOT just going to hang in there, that you are not going to tolerate it further.
People like her try to be manipulative, but when they see that their attempts to manipulate by way of withdrawal, guilt, anger or intimidation are not working, they learn to change What your daughter needs are firm boundaries. Being 'soft' just makes you easier to manipulate, and anger just teaches her to be angry when she in turn is faced with a difficult situation.
She is quite old enough to know about actions and consequences. We humans only indulge in behaviour that brings reward of some kind. Only when that reward (whatever it might be) disappears, or the consequences of our behaviour promise to be unpleasant do we consider changing what we do. Therefore, you have to give her reason to change – otherwise she will not. Why should she – she has things just as she wants them right now.
Here is the clue to sorting things out. When you are faced with non-co-operation – give her choices, and make sure she understands the consequences of her choice – and always follow through. If you don't she'll just get confused.
She needs to be taught if she wishes to have a comfortable life she has to start acting responsibly and reasonably.
Stay in control, matter of fact and stick to the facts. Avoid drama.
Never, never be blaming or accusatory. Tell her how you feel about her behaviour, and make sure she understands that while you love her, her bad behaviour is hurtful and will not be accepted.
For your own mental wellbeing, I'd like you to use this tool:
This Bill of Rights was one of the tools used by Virginia Satir, a well-known family therapist. Containing some really basic psychological rights belonging to every person, it really helps to identify and deal with areas in which we have problems.
Read the statements. Note down any immediate thoughts or feelings that come to you and analyze them later.
Look at yourself in a mirror and read it out loud to yourself. Listen to your voice grow in strength and volume so that you can really start to feel it inside. In the beginning, you may feel silly or embarrassed. You may hear the inner voice say, "That's not the truth". Just hang in there and keep doing it - you'll notice the change within six weeks, if you do it regularly.
1. I do not have to feel guilty just because someone else does not like what I
do, say, think or feel.
2. It is OK for me to feel angry and to express it in responsible ways.
3. I do not have to assume full responsibility for making decisions, particularly where others share responsibility for making the decisions.
4. I have the right to say "I don't understand" without feeling stupid or guilty.
5. I have the right to say NO.
6. I have the right to say No without feeling guilty.
7. I do not have to apologize or give reasons when I say NO.
8. I have the right to refuse requests which others make of me.
9. I have the right to tell others when I think they are manipulating, conning, or treating me unfairly.
10. I have the right to refuse additional responsibilities without feeling guilty.
11. I have a right to tell others when their behaviour annoys me.
12. I do not have to compromise my personal integrity.
13. I have a right to make mistakes and be responsible for them. I have a right to be wrong.
14. I do not have to be liked, admired, or respected by everyone for everything I do.
Best wishes, NormanM

My Invented Country: A Nostalgic Journey Through Chile
Although she claims to have been an outsider in her native land -- "I never fit in anywhere, not into my family, my social class, or the religion fate bestowed on me" -- Isabel Allende carries with her even today the mark of the politics, myth, and magic of her homeland, Chile. In My Invented Country she explores the role of memory and nostalgia in shaping her life, her books, and that most intimate connection to her place of origin.
The military coup and violent death of her uncle, Salvador Allende Gossens, on September 11, 1973, sent her into exile and transformed her into a writer. The terrorist attack of September 11, 2001, on her newly adopted homeland, the U.S., brought forth from Allende an overdue acknowledgment that she had indeed left home. My Invented Country speaks compellingly to all of us who try to retain a coherent inner life and a sense of humor in a world full of contradictions.

By the end of the month, US Airways will no longer serve peanuts on its flights because of the large number of people who suffer from peanut allergies. There's even a section on their website addressing the issue.
Airlines aren't the only entities responding to concerns about the legumes. Some parents are asking to have peanuts and peanut-containing products removed from their kids' schools' cafeterias because so many children suffer from life-threatening peanut allergies.
Of the allergenic foods, nuts, including tree nuts like almonds and walnuts, cause the greatest number of reactions. Millions of Americans are allergic to nuts, resulting in thousands of hospital visits and a couple of hundred deaths each year.
But because inhalation of and skin contact with peanuts don't produce as dangerous a reaction as ingestion does, US Airways won't restrict passengers from bringing their own nuts onboard. If you forget yours, don't worry: They'll still be serving pretzels.
