Look for posts soon on each of these!
I just got Color Me Vegan: Maximize Your Nutrient Intake and Optimize Your Health by Eating Antioxidant-Rich, Fiber-Packed, Color-Intense Meals That Taste Great for Christmas this year, and haven't had a chance to try anything from it yet. It looks really awesome, though!
Appetite for Reduction: 125 Fast and Filling Low-Fat Vegan Recipes is a new one to me, but I've tried a couple of recipes and am very happy so far! Check out Roasted Beets and Sautéed Beet greens, and Chickpea Piccata!
Sadly, I have yet to try out Vegan Soul Kitchen: Fresh, Healthy, and Creative African-American Cuisine. It's a problem when you put random vegan cookbooks on your wishlist and your mom buys them all for you!
Veganomicon: The Ultimate Vegan Cookbook. It there's only one cookbook you're going to try, make it be this one! Just a few of the things I've made from here: Lemon-Yogurt Pound Cake, Chocolate-Hazelnut Cookies, and Baby Bok Choy with Crispy Shallots.
If there's only one more cookbook you can buy, make it Vegan Brunch: Homestyle Recipes Worth Waking Up For–From Asparagus Omelets to Pumpkin Pancakes! I have both the print edition and the Kindle edition, since I'm often called upon to make pancakes when I'm away from home. Go figure. 🙂 A few things I've made from here: bagels, tofu omelette, Caramelized Onion Quiche with Cherry Sage Sausages, Scrambled Tempeh, Swiss Chard Frittata, and English Muffins.
Vegan with a Vengeance : Over 150 Delicious, Cheap, Animal-Free Recipes That Rock was one of the early vegan cookbooks I bought, and quickly became one of my favorites. I don't cook from it often anymore, but it's where my obsession with seitan stroganoff started.
I actually made 8 or 9 recipes from Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar: 100 Dairy-Free Recipes for Everyone's Favorite Treats for Christmas 2009, but I apparently didn't take any pictures. I can assure you, they were tasty. And I did take a picture of the Mexican Chocolate Snickerdoodles I made earlier. 🙂 Oh, and don't worry. I gave away most of those cookies I made that Christmas!
I don't make cupcakes that often anymore, but if you like to make them, you need Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World: 75 Dairy-Free Recipes for Cupcakes that Rule. Who doesn't like a chocolate cupcake every now and then?
I haven't used Viva Vegan!: 200 Authentic and Fabulous Recipes for Latin Food Lovers yet. Shame on me!
I haven't made too many recipes from Great Vegetarian Cooking Under Pressure, but it's where I've gotten inspired for all of the risottos I make! You can also check out Lorna Sass' Complete Vegetarian Kitchen: Where Good Flavors and Good Health Meet, by the same author.
I like the philosphy of The Kind Diet: A Simple Guide to Feeling Great, Losing Weight, and Saving the Planet a lot. I don't have any pictures to show you, but it's one of the things that's inspiring me to try to eat healthier these days.
Vegetarian 5-Ingredient Gourmet is not a vegan book, but I think much of it is easily substituted. Lots of good ideas, here. Most of Nava Atlas' newer cookbooks are totally vegan.
I have an unnatural love of all things soup. I even like to eat hot soup in the winter! Then again, no one else does, so Vegan Soups and Hearty Stews for All Seasons is helpful for being able to pick out more appropriate soups for the weather. I can always eat the hot stuff in the summer in private!
More to come- there's a lot of books on that shelf!

One of the features of the Bicentennial Tribute to Hancock County on Saturday, June 3 will be a new exhibit depicting the History of the Old Spanish Trail (OST) along the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Visitors can view the exhibit at the Historic L&N Train Depot in Bay St. Louis from 10am – 4pm. This event is organized by Hancock County Tourism and starts at 10am with a ribbon cutting and continues with the Alice Moseley Festival until 4pm.
Designed by unabridged Architecture, the new Old Spanish Trail exhibit is sponsored by the Hancock Chamber of Commerce with funding support from the Mississippi Humanities Council and the Mississippi Development Authority. It was first introduced to the public during the Mississippi Bicentennial Celebration South at Centennial Plaza on March 31 and April 1.
Dan Ellis, acclaimed Gulf Coast writer and a member of the Hancock Chamber Greenways and Byways Committee, is taking the OST exhibit on the road to Tallahasse May 18-20. He will represent the area during the Old Spanish Trail Centennial Celebration Association's reenactment of the 1917 OST Convention. During the convention, Ellis will promote Hancock County and the impact the trail had on commerce and industry. He will also introduce a new book he has authored on the Old Spanish Trail Gulf Coast Region.
"This new exhibit and his new book communicate the history of the trail and its importance to commerce that connected coastal cities along the trail," said Ellis. "It was actually the arrival of the automobile that generated this road building fever across the country."
Mississippi has been a key destination for travelers of the open road since long before statehood in 1817. We are familiar with the Natchez Trace, but the Old Spanish Trail was the first coast to coast highway, linking communities from St Augustine, FL to San Diego, CA, beginning in 1915. The first automobile reached Biloxi in 1900, and by 1915, there were over a million cars in the U.S. Merchants hoped to encourage travel as a harbinger of the great transportation revolution. The Old Spanish Trail never hosted the conquistadors, but the name captured the romantic image of helmeted warriors astride war horses, thundering along the Camino Real.
In 1916, the Harrison County Board of Supervisors authorized a bond to build highways and bridges for the Mississippi Centennial in 1917. Although WWI interrupted the construction activities, over the next ten years, a modern highway was laid across the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
The Old Spanish Trail route was marked with colored bands on telephone poles, intended to help travelers in the early days of the automobile. In 1929, 70 percent of the route was paved, "and the rest is good going" an advertising circular promised – in Mississippi, many of the roads were initially built with an oyster shell base from local canneries. Construction of the Pearl River Bridge at Pearlington offered a short cut between the coast and New Orleans, replacing the road through Devil's Swamp, greatly feared by drivers. Stories were told of unexplained automobile troubles, robberies, murders, disappearances and ghosts.
By 1935, the highway to New Orleans was completed and the Trail ran west from the Bay Bridge on Ulman Street, south on Dunbar, and along St. Francis to form what is even now known as the Old Spanish Trail. Travel-related businesses thrived along the trail, selling gas, groceries, souvenirs, shells and pralines. The beach was a popular destination for newly-minted motorists, who drove down to bathe in the sea, breathe the salt air, eat ice-cream and enjoy the weekend crowds.
"While we have seen great progress along the trail, one thing that has remained constant is the lure of the waterfront," explains Allison Anderson of unabridged Architecture.
"This exhibit is our way of educating the traveling public and Mississippians about the unique culture, heritage, history and lifestyle of the people of the Mississippi Gulf Coast," she said.
If you are interested in the work of the Hancock Chamber Greenways and By-ways committee, the next monthly meeting will be Friday, May 19 at 8:30 am at the offices of unabridged Architecture, 443 Main Street, Bay St Louis. On the agenda is proposals for improving water quality near the Beach Monitoring Station #4 near St Charles Street in Bay St Louis. Members of the local SALT team will be there to answer questions and introduce the goals of the Beach Outfalls Challenge. For more information, contact the Hancock Chamber at 228-467-9048.

A gripping novel about the kind of love that never lets go and the heart's capacity to remember, from the New York Times best-selling author of Blackberry Winter and The Violets of March.
Enjoying a romantic candlelit dinner with her fiancé, Ryan, at one of Seattle's chicest restaurants, Kailey Crain can't believe her good fortune: She has a great job as a journalist and is now engaged to a guy who is perfect in nearly every way. As she and Ryan leave the restaurant, Kailey spies a thin, bearded homeless man on the sidewalk. She approaches him to offer up her bag of leftovers and is stunned when their eyes meet, then stricken to her very core: The man is the love of her life, Cade McAllister.
When Kailey met Cade 10 years ago, their attraction was immediate and intense - everything connected and felt right. But it all ended suddenly, leaving Kailey devastated. Now the poor soul on the street is a faded version of her former beloved: His weathered and weary face is as handsome as Kailey remembers, but his mind has suffered in the intervening years. Over the next few weeks, Kailey helps Cade begin to piece his life together, something she initially keeps from Ryan. As she revisits her long-ago relationship, Kailey realizes that she must decide exactly what - and whom - she wants.
Alternating between the past and the present, Always is a beautifully unfolding exploration of a woman faced with an impossible choice, a woman who discovers what she's willing to save and what she will sacrifice for true love.
"A heartwarming story of personal growth and the power of nostalgia.... Fans of Elin Hilderbrand and Emily Giffin should enjoy this warm and compassionate novel." (Booklist)

Oswegatchie's Horse Program: Update 2017
Oswegatchie will be combining our horse care classes and trail rides into 3 hour programs. We have decided this is the best way to deliver quality training along with a trail ride experience. We will have 64 spots available each week that will be assigned on a first come first serve basis.
In order to reserve a spot for a camper, an acknowledgement of risk will need to be completed online. Each form will be time stamped. This does require signature from a parent, but can be submitted before arriving at camp. This can be completed when arriving at camp, but it may be too late by that time.
All riders will need long pants and boots w/ a heel. If a camper does not have their own boots, we have boots in storage. This is for rider safety and comfort on the trail.

xfce flickering problem after 2006-02-10 slack-current upgrade
Hi, everyone,
I just upgraded to slack-current 2006-02-10, and I found a strange flickering problem in xfce. I managed to find a way to replicate the problem reliably:
Before this upgrade, I uses slackware-current 2006-01-14, I don't have such problem. I still have one box on slackware-current 2006-01-14, no problem found.
I have tried following steps, none of them make those short lines disappear:
Other information that I think might help:
The problem described in this post has been fixed by slack-current 2006-04-04. I think kde 3.5.2 upgrade fixed the problem. Sorry I don't know what the root cause of the problem is. I have been testing slack-current ever since I reported the problem, slack-current 2006-04-04 is the first one that fixed it.
I'm really glad I can move back to XFCE.
it's kinda weird that a kde upgrade would fix an xfce problem, no??

Yesterday, I had to take some books back to the International Library of English~~books for parents and children~~that is housed at one of the universities here and also one that my good friend, Karen, has been one of the main forces in getting this project off the ground. It's small, but growing and she and her students plan "Storyland" days once a month or so that are just a lot of fun for both kids and parents.
Anyway...as I was walking up the sidewalk, I noticed that Karen's brother (with whom I worked for a few years at a high school) and his wife were there with their new (or new to me!) baby daughter. I hadn't seen them for awhile so it was nice to talk with them.
Oh, hell...who am I kidding...I couldn't have cared less about what they have been up to. I was more interested in getting my hands on that baby.
And when I did....swear to God, my ovaries started doing cartwheels.
Then, reality (Thy name is Karen) slapped me (verbally) a couple times and I got things under control and the day continued quite nicely.
But, really.....look at that face....here is the view from my angle:
Move over Martha....there's a new inspiration in town.

Create Domain-like groups in windows 7??
I was just wondering, as I'm not that familiar with intermediate features of non-NOS windows releases. I noticed that when you log into different computers on the home network, they are still prefixed with a domain (the computer name/hostname). Is there a way to put all of my home computers on the same "domain" ? Of course, I mean to do this without the use of a server/domain controller.
I know that windows 7 has homegroups,ut i'm not sure if this will work the same way.

We'll recommend local showrooms whose Designer German kitchens cost just a fraction more than places like Howdens, Wickes or Wren. This even applies when the chain store kitchens are in the sale.
These showrooms also charge much less than the chains for fitting. Their average fitting price is just £1,300 which is similar to what builders charge.
"When you took the cost of fitting into account, the German kitchen worked out £2,000 less than Wren!"
Nick Karamanlis, Woodford Green, Essex
They are also better value than the chains for worktops & appliances. In fact, their prices are usually similar to online.

U.S. star goalkeeper Hope Solo received a public warning from the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency Monday after testing positive for a prohibited substance. The warning will not affect Solo's Olympic participation.
Solo, considered the world's best women's goalkeeper and expected to play a vital role in the United States' quest for a third consecutive Olympic gold medal, tested positive for canrenone. The test was the result of an out-of-competition urine test collected June 15.
Since USADA has classified canrenone, a diuretic, as a specified substance, the presence of the drug can result in a reduced sanction. Canrenone is on the banned substance list because diuretics can be used as masking agents.
Solo, 30, said she took a medication prescribed by her personal physician for premenstrual purposes and she did not know it contained a diuretic.
"Once informed of this fact, I immediately cooperated with USADA and shared with them everything they needed to properly conclude that I made an honest mistake, and that the medication did not enhance my performance in any way," she said in a statement. "As someone who believes in clean sport, I am glad to have worked with USADA to resolve this matter and I look forward to representing my country at the 2012 Olympic Games in London."
U.S. Soccer said in a statement it "cooperated with USADA . . . to ensure it could be resolved quickly. Hope and the rest of the women's national team staff and players are looking forward to continuing preparations for the 2012 Olympics."
Losing Solo would be devastating for Team USA, which needs her expertise and experience to backstop a sometimes shaky back line.
The U.S. team begins its gold-medal defense against France in Glasgow on July 25, followed by group matches vs. Colombia in Glasgow on July 28 and North Korea in Manchester on July 31. The quarterfinals are set for Aug. 3, followed by the Aug. 6 semifinals and Aug. 9 gold-medal match in London.

UNANIMOUS CONSENT REQUEST--S. 4047 -- (Senate - December 08, 2006)
Mr. DeMINT. Mr. President, I would like to speak a moment on the bill, if I may.
The Maritime Transportation Security Act requires the Transportation Security Agency to develop a biometric security card for port workers that would be used to limit access to sensitive areas within a seaport. To satisfy this law, TSA is developing a transportation worker identification credential--we call it TWIC--card. The law requires that the Secretary issue this card to an individual requesting it, unless he determines that the individual poses a terrorism security risk or if they have been convicted of treason, terrorism, sedition, or espionage.
To fulfill this requirement of the Maritime Transportation Security Act, the Department of Homeland Security has drafted regulations that bar certain criminals from receiving these transportation worker identification credentials. Specifically, the Department of Homeland Security proposed regulations that would permanently bar from our ports criminals convicted of espionage, sedition, treason, terrorism, crimes involving transportation security, improper transport of hazardous material, unlawful use of an explosive device, murder, violations of the RICO Act where one of the above crimes is a predicate act, and conspiracy to commit any of these crimes.
It would also bar recent felons, those convicted within the last 7 years, or incarcerated in the last 5 years, from working in secure areas of U.S. ports, if they have been convicted of any of these felonies: assault with intent to murder, kidnaping or hostage taking, rape or aggravated sexual abuse, unlawful use of a firearm, extortion, fraud, bribery, smuggling, immigration violations, racketeering, robbery, drug dealing, arson, or conspiracy to commit any of these crimes.
These proposed regulations were developed in consultation and coordination with the Departments of Justice and Transportation to identify individuals who have a propensity to engage in unlawful activity, activity that places our ports at risk. Further, these regulations are nearly identical to the regulations that govern those who have access to our airports and who are involved with transporting hazardous material in the United States. These prohibitions are crucial because individuals who engage in the type of unlawful activity described in the proposed regulations have a greater likelihood to engage in activity that puts American ports at risk.
Our law enforcement officials understand this risk. They understand the threat our ports face with traditional crimes, particularly organized crimes, when they work with terrorists. For example, just recently the FBI apprehended a member of the Russian mafia attempting to sell missiles to an FBI agent he thought was acting as a middleman for terrorists. Joseph Billy, Jr., the FBI's top counterterrorism official, recently commented that the FBI ``is continuing to look at a nexus'' between organized crime and terrorists, and that they ``are looking at this very aggressively.''
The threat is not only criminals working directly with terrorists, it is criminals looking the other way when a suspect container comes through the port. Joseph King, a former Customs Service agent and now a professor at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice, outlined the concern very
It's an invitation to smuggling of all kinds. Instead of bringing in 50 kilograms of heroin, what would stop them from bringing in five kilograms of plutonium?
A criminal in one of our ports may think he is just helping his buddies smuggle in drugs, but inadvertently he may be helping to smuggle a weapon of mass destruction into the United States.
Earlier this year I offered an amendment to address this threat and ensure that serious felons are kept out of our ports. My amendment would have codified in statute the proposed regulations. The amendment passed unanimously and was included in the Senate-passed version of the Safe Port Act. Unfortunately, behind closed doors in the conference committee this amendment was almost completely gutted. The bill went from having language which prohibited 20 serious felonies that put our ports at risk to a list of just four--felonies so rare as to make the conference report language meaningless. I was extremely dismayed to see this language was stripped. I cannot understand who would oppose language that would ban serious felons from secure areas in American ports.
The ranking member of the Commerce Committee, the Senator from Hawaii, has stated in the Congressional Record that he supported the original DeMint language. I understand the chairman of the Commerce Committee, the Senator from Alaska, also supported the DeMint language. I am at a bit of a loss to conclude who in the Senate opposed this strong homeland security provision. Today the Senator from North Dakota said several of his colleagues did, but we don't know who they are.
While there does not seem to be a Senator who is willing to admit to opposing the provision, the longshoremen's labor union is more than happy to take credit for gutting the provision. Last month the International Longshore and Warehouse Union, in their newsletter, claimed credit for killing the provision. They stated:
Congress will return after the election in a ``lame duck'' session and work through part of November and December. We have heard rumors that Senator DeMint is particularly angry with the [union's] successful lobbying effort to strip his anti-labor provision. He may attempt to amend another piece of legislation, so the union will stay on guard to protect its members' interests.
Apparently they have, as we have seen today by the objection to this very commonsense measure. The unions are not stopping at just fighting legislation that I am proposing here to keep serious felons out of our port workforce. They are gearing up to mount a legal battle against the proposed regulations as well.
In response to a Wall Street Journal editorial on the subject, the union stated that the proposed regulations were ``double jeopardy'' and ``unconstitutional.'' This is a clear indication that they have a legal challenge in mind. It seems clear now that once the regulations become final, they are going to take the Department of Homeland Security to court and that the proposed regulations are going to be bogged down in lengthy legal battles likely for years.
The consequence will be that as we continue to fight this global war on terror, America's ports will be staffed by serious felons. Some may be tempted to come to the defense of the longshoremen with various so-called concerns: These individuals have paid their debt to society; barring these individuals is going to gut our port workforce; or that the crimes listed are somehow not related to homeland security.
These concerns are plain wrong. I don't disagree that convicted felons should be given a second chance. I hope they get back on their feet and become productive members of their communities. What I don't agree with is that we should give them a pass, literally and figuratively, to access the most secure areas of America's port infrastructure. When they are fresh out of prison, we should not trust them with the most vulnerable areas of our ports.
Second, I have heard that barring these individuals will empty the ranks of the port workforce. The facts don't bear this out. When the Department of Homeland Security issued nearly 350,000 ID cards for HAZMAT truckdrivers and subjected them to the same background check as I propose putting in the law, only 3,100 were disapproved, less than 1 percent. The workforce in the United States is elastic enough that we can pick up the few thousand longshoremen jobs opening up because the criminals in the port workforce had to be fired.
Finally, some are maintaining these are not serious crimes. I want someone to come down here and tell me which individuals he wants working at his local port--murderers, extortionists, drug dealers, arsonists, document forgers? I want to hear the rationale for stopping this important bill.
The list that the Transportation Security Agency came up with is a list of serious felons who represent a serious threat. It is going to keep these dangerous criminals out of our ports.
The bottom line is this: This bill applies nearly the same protections to seaports that already applies to our airports. It is a regime that has been successful. It will make our ports safer by keeping individuals who have shown a willingness to break the law out of our ports. This is very important. We can spend all the money in our treasury trying to screen cargo, and we have appropriated or approved a whole lot of money to secure our ports. But if we don't screen the people who work at our ports, we cannot expect to have effective port security. It is very unfortunate today that my Democratic colleague has taken this commonsense provision and objected to its consideration.

text: After 6 months of slowly modifying a few things, I ended up w/ Denon AVR-331CI for a 15'x25' room. Had started w/ AVR-2313CI. Very noticeable improvement but I now wonder if 4520 CI would have been worth while another 1k or so? Anyway, in terms of the bass aspect, I started w/ 2 subcompact 6 pinnacle subs placed in the wall vented,hidden. Was way underbassed for lack of better word. I kept both pinnacles and added two SVS NSD cylinder subs also placed in front of room. Major improvement. I sold one pinnacle and added one Definitive pro sub 1000 to get just a bit more "boominess" type of base. I know, I'm sure everyone will disagree w/ this addition. However, I love the addition to add just a little more mid frequency basses. I'm really happy w/ how clean it sounds now but my question is this? In terms of calibrating the SVS subs, I was told by SVS rep that you don't really need to do much of anything. Simply plug in and use. I did go through the calibration via Audyssey on Denon initially, but other than that, the subs have not been tweaked any further. (I did not calibrate the Definitive sub as I simply wanted to add this in separate). Anyway, my question is: Would I really be served from this point, by purchasing more equipment to calibrate, tweak the bass more from this point or just leave as is? thanks a lot

X Factor presenter Dermot O'Leary has spoken about the challenge the show faces without Simon Cowell, Dannii Minogue and Cheryl Cole.
The musical talent show has hired Take Thats Gary Barlow, Destinys Child star Kelly Rowland and N Dubz singer Tulisa to join Louis Walsh on the judging table, something that O'Leary finds a challenge.
O'Leary, who also presents a show on BBC Radio Two, told the Radio Times:
"When a new series of The X Factor starts, I inhale deeply. It's a relentless schedule - it's not coal mining, but it's definitely challenging.
"And this year the pressure is on. It's very important to me that we prove we can do it without Simon! I was worried about losing him, the nation's sweetheart Cheryl, and Dannii, and I miss my friends, but the new guys are brilliant.
"I'm probably for the chopping block next, but as long as they want me, I'll keep on doing it."
It has also been revealed that the judges have sensationally axed a number of contestants as they arrived for the Boot Camp stage of the competition, believing that they were not up to scratch.
According to Digital Spy, Gary Barlow told the hopefuls:
"We don't believe everyone standing in front of us has the potential to make it all the way in this competition. Some of you are going home now."
Fellow judge Kelly Rowland added:
"While you were partying last night, we were looking at your audition tapes. We only want to work with the people who can go all the way."
The X Factor will return to ITV1 on Saturday 20 August at 8pm.

We've seen more injuries and accidents in Baltimore last month than in previous months, and around Memorial Day those accident rates typically rise. We're nervous about that correlation.
Pikesville, MD (PRWEB) May 17, 2016
As teenagers hit the road for vacation in June, Baltimore parents should caution their kids about the merits of safe driving because rates of teenage crash fatalities rose last month to an alarming rate, and a slew of accidents have left teenagers dead and injured across the city. Simple driving precautions can reduce these accidents as Memorial Day approaches, hopefully lowering the rates of teen crash fatalities as approach one of the deadliest seasons for our nation's youngest drivers.
In March, there were several cases reported by local news agencies of teenagers killed in car crashes when driving with friends, and rates across the city have risen to a level that has concerned Attorney Big Al. As warmer weather arrives in June and students get out of school, there is a risk that the crash statistics will continue to rise even further.
"When teenagers learn to drive, there's naturally a trial and error process as they figure out their vehicles, but sometimes a driving error can in tragedy," Big Al said. "We've seen more injuries and accidents in Baltimore last month than in previous months, and around Memorial Day those accident rates typically rise. We're nervous about that correlation."
Traffic accidents are the largest cause of death for teenagers in the United States, so it's critical to communicate with your teens about safe driving. To prevent rates of teen driving accidents from rising even further, you can have a simple talk with your teenagers. Most accidents happen with friends in the car, as teenagers are distracted by conversation and excitement; this is part of the reason why these accident rates tend to be so high.
You can enroll your teen in a defensive driving course that will teach them some basics about good driving techniques that they may not have learned in their driver's-ed courses, especially if the course they took was online. You can also inform your teens about the statistics about teenage drivers in the United States, many of which are available online. Finally, be sure you set explicit guidelines for good driving behaviors. Be clear about your expectations and ask them to sign a contract or give verbal acknowledgement that they understood.
Having a car is an exciting thing, but if teens better understand the responsibility they have to you, to their peers, and to society, they can lower crash rates in Baltimore and across the country.

High school dropouts forfeit millions of dollars in lifetime earnings compared to their college graduate peers, says Margaret Spellings, the U.S. Secretary of Education. But Spellings and countless others who make the claim might want to sign up for a remedial math class, says Reason.
According to an analysis by Charles Miller, the former chairman of the Commission of the Future of Higher Education:
- The often-quoted "million-dollar" payoff is off by over $700,000.
- Getting a B.A. produced a lifetime earnings differential of only $279,893 for a bachelor's degree versus a high school degree, after accounting for a host of factors including ever-rising tuition, likely income growth, inflation, the typical number of years worked, and the number of students who do not go on for advanced degrees.
Miller says he does not want to dissuade high schoolers from going on to college, but to call attention to the myth that education pays -- and a taxpayer-subsidized financial aid system that makes it easier for colleges and universities to pass along tuition increases to customers, says Reason.

Danish Presidency priorities as presented in EP committees
The priorities of Denmark's Presidency of the EU Council of Ministers are being presented to European Parliament committees by Danish ministers at meetings on 23-26 January. This compilation will be updated daily during this week.
International trade
The EU's international trade policy, should focus on achieving immediate export and investment gains, so as to generate growth and jobs, rather than on long-term and strategic projects such as the WTO Doha negotiations, Trade and Investment Minister Pia Olsen Dyhr told the International Trade Committee on 25 January.
As specific priorities, Ms Dyhr listed getting better market access for EU exports to Brazil, Russia, India and China, making progress in negotiating a free trade agreement with India, and starting negotiations for another with Japan. She added that the Presidency would also give priority to bilateral trade talks with Canada, Columbia, China and Singapore.
Several MEPs thought Ms Dyhr's plans "very ambitious", noting that trade negotiations with India, Japan, and Columbia were especially difficult and questioning whether the EU should enter into agreements that might prove detrimental to its own manufacturers, the environment or human rights.
Mrs Dyhr replied that focusing on "green growth" was an overall priority and pledged that the Presidency would not forget the EU's responsibility to ensure fairness in global trade, adding that "the EU will benefit from seeing trade and environment in connection".
In the chair: Vital Moreira (S&D, PT)
Women's rights and gender equality
The Presidency should be a catalyst for progress in the areas of women's under-representation on company boards, gender equality (in education and elseswhere) and combating violence against women Manu Sareen, Minister for Gender Equality and Ecclesiastical Affairs told the Women's Rights and Gender Equality Committee on 25 January.
Employment Minister Mette Frederiksen cited equal pay for women, boosting female participation in the labour market and reducing gender segregation of jobs as priorities. Another goal is unblocking the "maternity leave" dossier.
Committee members voiced concerns about the challenges of active ageing, getting more women into "green" jobs, reducing the male/female pension gap and increasing the share of women in decision-making positions, e.g. by introducing quotas.
In the chair: Mikael Gustafsson (GUE/NGL, SE)
Legal affairs
Unblocking the EU patent file, stuck in the Council over the choice of the patent court seat, is "vital for innovation in the EU" and a priority for the Presidency, Justice Minister Morten Boskov and Business and Growth Minister Ole Sohn told the Legal Affairs Committee on 25 January. The Ministers also highlighted the directive on annual accounts, which aims "to make companies more responsible" and the regulation on cross-border successions, upon which there is already a limited agreement between Parliament and the Council.
In the chair: Klaus-Heiner Lehne (EPP, DE)
Constitutional affairs
An international "fiscal compact is the only possible way forward", European Affairs Minister Nicolai Wammen told the Constitutional Affairs Committee on 25 January.
Mr Wammen also reminded MEPs that Parliament would have to vote on a protocol to the Charter of Fundamental Rights, agreed by the European Council in 2009 for the Czech Republic. Unless the Czech government asks otherwise, "we need to deliver what we promised (...) whether we like it or not", he said.
In the chair: Carlo Casini (EPP, IT)
Internal market
"Financial consolidation and growth are the two legs that should carry Europe forward", Business and Growth Minister Ole Sohn told the Internal Market Committee on 25 January. Mr Sohn underlined the importance of the Single Market Act and said that the Presidency aims to get results on as many of the 12 key initiatives as possible.
He added that the modernisation of Public Procurement, Standardisation, Alternative and Online Dispute Resolution and Recognition of Professional Qualifications would all be high on the agenda, and that the Presidency hoped to be able to reach first-reading agreements on the Roaming III regulation and customs enforcement of intellectual property rights.
In the chair: Malcolm Harbour (ECR, UK)
Industry, research and energy
The Energy Efficiency Directive is a top legislative priority for the Danish Presidency, Minister for Climate, Energy and Buildings Martin Lidegaard told the Industry, Research and Energy Committee on 25 January. This directive will become a "driver for Europe's economic recovery", he said.
Other priorities include further modernising energy infrastructure, the Energy Roadmap 2050, the Low-Carbon Economy Roadmap, the regulation on the safety of offshore oil and gas extraction and the legislative proposal to create an information exchange mechanism with regard to inter-governmental agreements in energy field.
The Single Market Act is also a key priority, Business and Growth Minister Ole Sohn told the committee on 25 January, adding that the Digital Single Market and Digital Agenda are of special interest for EU's "financial consolidation and growth". A first-reading agreement on Roaming Regulation III will probably be reached under this Presidency, whilst the Connecting Europe Facility, the directive on access to public data and clarifying ENISA's future are also important priorities.
Horizon 2020, the EU research and innovation framework programme for 2014-2020, is a key legislative priority, Research, Innovation and Higher Education Minister Morten Ostergaard told the committee on 24 January. In these challenging times, the Commission proposal is the right way to strengthen research and innovation in order to create growth and jobs, he said.
Other legislative priorities include the European Institute for Innovation and Technology, the Global Monitoring for Environment and Security (GMES) programme, which aims to help combat climate change and environmental degradation, and Euratom.
In the chair: Amalia Sartori (EPP, IT)
Employment and social affairs
Tackling youth unemployment is a priority for Presidency, Employment Minister Mette Frederiksen and Social Affairs and Integration Minister Karen Haekkerup told the Employment and Social Affairs committee on 25 January. The new European Social Fund (ESF) and European Globalisation Fund (EGF) proposals would play a part in this, they added.
MEPs expressed concern about unemployment across all age groups during the crisis and asked for specific measures to fight it. They also discussed the ministers' other priorities: the posting of workers directive, the Social Change and Innovation programme and changes to the Social Security Coordination regulation.
In the chair: Pervenche Berès (S&D, FR)
Regional policy
The key cohesion policy priority is to take negotiations on the reform package as far as possible, European Affairs Minister Nicolai Wammen told the Regional Development Committee on 25 January. Mr Wammen stressed the cohesion policy is now subject to co-decision and is thus a joint responsibility of Parliament and the Council.
He also tried to dispel the "myth" that Denmark, as net payer, would not be interested in advancing the negotiations and told MEPs that the Presidency intends to move them forward in parallel with the multi-annual financial framework negotiations. He also warned that talks on the cohesion package would not be finalized by the end of the Danish Presidency, but promised to pass clear messages from MEPs on different topics to the Council.
In the chair: Danuta Hübner (EPP, PL)
A "responsible, dynamic, green and safer Europe", well prepared for the future, are the Presidency's top priorities, Food, Agriculture and Fisheries Minister Mette Gjerskov told the Fisheries Committee on 25 January. The Presidency will focus on reforming the common fisheries policy (CFP), which should be incorporated in the EU2020 strategy to ensure "the sustainable management of fisheries resources in the interests of EU citizens".
The Presidency will also focus on updating legislation on the deep-sea fishing effort, the Baltic Sea salmon long-term management plan, and improving the CFP's external dimension so that it obeys "the same principles and standards as in EU waters".
In the chair: Gabriel Mato Adrover (EPP, ES)
Justice and home affairs
Working towards the setting up of a Common European Asylum System is a key Presidency priority, Justice Minister Morten Bødskov told the Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs Committee on 25 January. Migration, resettlement, visa policies and a stronger Schengen cooperation are also high on the Danish agenda, he added.
To combat terrorism and cross-border criminality, the Presidency aims to make progress on the EU Passenger Name Record (PNR) proposal, said Mr Bødskov, adding that the draft EU-US PNR agreement, to be debated in Parliament, "is the best possible result". He also mentioned proposals on explosives, cyber crime, the victims' package and access to documents.
In the chair: Juan Fernando López Aguilar (S&D, ES)
Foreign Affairs
The Presidency supports the European External Action Service (EEAS), EU enlargement and the European Neighbourhood Policy, Denmark's European Affairs Minister Nicolai Wammen told the Foreign Affairs Committee on 24 January.
He emphasized that a closer relationship between the European Parliament and national parliaments, based on dialogue, is important to both new and older Member States in order to achieve political integration and prosperity.
The Presidency's involvement in these policies will rely on conditionality and merits, and "human rights will be the internal and external guiding principle", Mr Wammen added.
In the chair: Elmar Brok, (EPP, DE)
"Together we shall lay the foundation for the house that is going to be future CAP", Food, Agriculture and Fisheries Minister Mette Gjerskov told the Agriculture Committee on 24 January. The new EU farm policy should be "suited for the future" and tailored to "the changing needs, priorities and expectations of European farmers, citizens and taxpayers".
The Presidency will press for progress on the food quality package, take a closer look at the rise of antimicrobial resistance and start discussion on soon-to-be-introduced proposals on organic production and the new EU animal welfare strategy unveiled by the Commission last week.
In the chair: Paolo de Castro (S&D, IT)
Environment, public health and food safety
The EU should build on the climate deal achieved in Durban with its allies, Danish Climate and Energy Minister Martin Lidegaard told the Environment Committee on 24 January, adding that the draft roadmap to a low-carbon economy is the "key to future climate policy". MEPs stressed the Presidency's "window of opportunity" to promote reform of the Emissions Trading System and support an effective carbon price.
Animal Welfare, CAP reform and CFP reform were the priorities raised by Mette Gjerskov, Danish Minister for Food, Agriculture and Fisheries. Along with acting Health Minister Pia Olsen Dyr, she agreed with MEPs that resistance to antibiotics was a key area for action.
Europe needs to use its resources more efficiently and sustainably, said Environment Minister Ida Auken told Environment Committee MEPs, including her mother, on 24 January. The EU would negotiate in favour of sustainability goals at the Rio+20 summit in June, she added. MEPs called for progress on pending legislation, such as GM crop cultivation rules.
In the chair: Matthias Groote (S&D, DE)
Culture and education
Combating early school leaving, mobility and improving young people's work skills are the key youth and education priorities, Minister for Children and Education Christine Antorini told the Culture and Education Committee on 24 January. Ms Antorini stressed the need to introduce a benchmark for measuring the impact of training on the mobility and employability of young people.
The Erasmus for all programme will also be a major priority, and negotiations on a name for the programme, and the resources to be allocated to it, will be pursued in the coming months, she added.
Culture Minister Uffe Elbæk said that in the field of culture and sport, the Presidency would focus on the creative Europe programme, digitising Europe's cultural heritage and developing cultural relations outside the EU. Special attention would be paid to sport, and notably combating doping and match fixing, he said.
In the chair: Doris Pack (EPP, DE)
Former MEP and current Transport Minister Henrik Dam Kristensen told the Transport Committee on 24 January that the Presidency would focus on "added European value" and cross-border infrastructure projects in negotiations on Trans-European Network guidelines and the Connecting Europe Facility proposals.
Mr Kristensen also hoped a compromise deal on the "rail recast" proposals to improve rail connectivity would be reached before the summer and invited MEPs to a youth road safety conference, in June. Some MEPs criticized the Danish priority of favouring cross-border usage of "eco-combies" (larger and heavier vehicles).
Cutting red tape to help EU vessels survive global competition, cracking down on piracy and speeding up the adoption of common international training and qualification rules for seafarers are the Presidency's top priorities for maritime transport, said Business and Growth Minister Ole Sohn.
In the chair: Brian Simpson (S&D, UK)
Economic and monetary affairs
The key priorities are the "two pack" regulations to step up surveillance of budgetary policies and the economic and fiscal surveillance of euro area countries facing serious financial instability, Economic and Interior Affairs Minister Margrethe Vestager told the Economic and Monetary Affairs Committee on 23 January.
Other priorities include strengthening economic governance rules, financial crisis management, co-operation on tax matters and energy taxation to meet climate targets. Ms Vestager also stressed the European Parliament's role, not just as a legislator but in promoting co-operation among the EU 27 Member States, the euro area 17 and the future fiscal compact 26.
In the chair: Sharon Bowles (ALDE, UK)

Inspired by South Africa, the state government is working on an action plan to strengthen control and supply of drinking water and sanitation services in the city and its neighbourhood.
The plan includes overhauling the water supply system, apart from private participation, coordination among departments, adoption of new technology and induction of professionals.
The urban development department has joined hands with foreign agencies and experts of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the World Bank for expertise and funds. Representatives from USAID and the World Bank met urban development minister Asok Bhattacharya and his officers last week at Writers Buildings to finalise the plan.
The proposal envisages a full-fledged company, to be set up comprising experts, engineers, funding agencies and private parties, to oversee all matters relating to water supply. The firm, in which representatives of the CMDA will hold controlling authority, will be empowered to take any decision on implementing government policies on water.
The company will also hold sole authority in taking up plans and projects, their implementation, as well as engaging different agencies and raising funds.
At present, projects for water supply and sanitation are looked after by the Calcutta Metropolitan Water and Sanitation Authority (CMWSA). The proposed company will replace it.
Our move is aimed at refurbishing the drinking water supply system. Our thrust is on strengthening the management, as we feel that no major work can be completed properly and in time without a professional outlook. The World Bank representatives have appreciated our stand, minister Bhattacharya said.
Urban development secretary K.S. Rajendrakumar said the idea to form a separate company was derived from the Durban municipality in South Africa. During a visit to the country a few months ago with the minister, we were inspired by their policy of forming separate companies to look after various types of civic services. Though Calcutta is not Durban and the socio-economic conditions do not match, we are trying to follow its example to improve the management of drinking water, he said.
At present, the CMDA, the Calcutta Municipal Corporation and the public health engineering department are engaged in drinking water supply. Officials admitted that there is a lack of coordination among the three agencies, which creates problems while drafting any major project. They felt that work could be conducted more smoothly if a single expert agency was entrusted with the job.
We have taken up both short and long-term projects to boost drinking water supply in the city and its adjoining areas. We will not be able to achieve the goal unless we adopt a professional attitude and a modern outlook, said the urban development secretary.

Discussion in 'Fiat OEM Spares & Accessories' started by amarteotia, Dec 17, 2010.
CR70 is not tinted and will not affect visibility. I have done this in my Linea.
Thanks. How's the heat rejection? And what do you have on sides and rear?
At 18k, he's offering you the starter package, not the high end. The most expensive range in VKool runs into 41k+.
He might be correct. I got a quote for Punto at 12000 for front and 7500 onwards for rear in chennai. Now I am planning to go for 3M which i believe is equally good.
Dj.nish : do you know the product name that goes up to 41K? What he quoted to me was V-Kool 70 for the front windshield (94% IRR, 70%VLT) and V-Kool 40 (98% IRR and 43% VLT) for side+rear
Edit: Not sure about the V-Kool 40, I think he said something 'Economy' - will have to call him and confirm
Thanks, interestingly the guy I was speaking to said according to the V-Kool MRP list they get from the company, Punto is actually slightly more expensive than Linea ! Something about the glass surface area being more?? I kind of find that hard to believe, but can't say for sure , maybe true.
Here you go.
1. Economy package : 60% heat rejection for side and rear + 94% heat rejection for front : Rs 17,750
2. Elegant package : 76% heat rejection for side and rear + 94% heat rejection for front : Rs 21,500
3. Select package : 92% heat rejection for side and rear + 94% heat rejection for front : Rs 30,000
4. Premium package : 94% heat rejection for side and rear + 94% heat rejection for front : Price n/a
5. Diamond package : 99% heat rejection for side and rear + 94% heat rejection for front : Rs 41,500
Thanks for this info ! I checked and the package I am getting is in fact #1 on your list. For the front it is VKool 70 i.e 94% heat rejection which is the most expensive bit. The sides is the Signature series K37 - all together it is coming to 18K with Bill or ~16 K without. Warranty of 5 years is provided either way and I think Iam going to go for it.
If you are opting for Package 1, then 3M has a similar package but at a much lower cost of Rs 12,750 (company price - which can be further reduced if you negotiate with the dealer)
I am expecting my Linea to be delivered in a week and also confused for filming reading all this.
my Q:
basic model of costly brand (V-cool in 17k)Vs better model of less costly brand (Llumar/3M in 12k): which combination would be better performance(read as heat rejection)?
I have faced issue of front heat rejection importance on one sunny morning. AC was on and we were sipping colddrinks but still I was getting hot patches on hands at exposed skin at front seat, thats where I decided the filming has to be better in my car.. a must!
@tushargn: If the important parameters are same, go for higher models of less costly brand. Check for the VLT and IRR % of the models you are comparing.
I have got 3M done and happy with it in scorching Mumbai heat. I compared the high end of VKool and 3M. For the windscreen, there is a difference of 100%! I feel that's un-justified and not VFM.
For the sides and rear, the heat rejection between 3M and Vkool is 10-12%.
Separate names with a comma.

In response to requests from Plumbing Manufacturers Intl. (PMI) and its members, as well as from other supporters of the U.S....
Dartmouth researchers, working with scientists at the University of Arizona and at the Department of Natural Resources in Sonora, Mexico, have published a study on the impact of arsenic exposure on DNA damage. They have determined that arsenic in drinking water is associated with a decrease in the body's ability to repair its DNA.
"This work supports the idea that arsenic in drinking water can promote the carcinogenic effects of other chemicals," said Angeline Andrew, the lead author and a research assistant professor of community and family medicine at Dartmouth Medical School. "This is evidence that it's more important than ever to keep arsenic out of drinking water."
The study, which was published online on May 10, 2006 in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives, examined the drinking water and measured the arsenic levels in samples of urine and toenails of people who were enrolled in epidemiologic studies in New Hampshire and in Sonora, Mexico. Andrew and her colleagues examined the data in conjunction with tissue samples from the study participants to determine the effect of arsenic on DNA repair. To further corroborate their findings, the researchers conducted laboratory studies to examine the effects of arsenic on DNA repair in cultured human cell models.
"The DNA repair machinery normally protects us from DNA-damaging agents, such as those found in cigarette smoke," Andrew said. "The concern is that exposure to drinking water arsenic may exacerbate the harmful effects of smoking or other exposures."
Andrew explained that in regions of the U.S. where the rock contains higher levels of arsenic, there is a greater likelihood that drinking water sources contain some potential adverse levels of the toxin. While the levels of arsenic in municipal water systems are regularly monitored, there is no mandated testing of arsenic levels in private wells. This is of particular concern since the regions where arsenic levels are high are in rural regions, such as New Hampshire, Maine, Michigan and some regions of the Southwest and Rockies. Private wells are common in these areas as primary sources of drinking water.
Andrew's co-authors on this paper are: Jefferey Burgess, Maria Meza, Eugene Demidenko, Mary Waugh, Joshua Hamilton and Margaret Karagas, all from Dartmouth Medical School, the Department of Environmental and Community Health at the University of Arizona or the Department of Natural Resources at the Technological Institute of Sonora, Mexico.
The research was supported by funding from the National Institutes of Health, the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, the National Cancer Institute, the Dartmouth and Arizona Superfund Programs and the American Society of Preventive Oncology.
