Chef Marthe whispered to me,
I didn't notice any dogs but today this saucisson pup reminded me of my good fortune.
Quels beaux cadeuax ces saucisoons..!
Ih I would have jumped off the bus too..That kid is too cute dressed all in white..
And your aquarelle is as delish as the cheese an saucisson..Love the saucissons et olives par-dessus.
What fun..I like saurkraut too..come on you can do it..you have one month almost!
Would be nice if I could type..ReplyDelete
Yay for the alarm bells! What a delicious discovery!
With all those saucissons and sauerkraut you can have a housewarming party at our new place ... or a farewell to the old (so you won't have to move it all!)ReplyDelete
Does this help?
I can't read french, nor speak it but I think I do, and it doesn't seem as if any of these markets are in Paris...but maybe a day a whey?
Look at the caraway seeds
It looks like a Toulouse Lautrec horseback rider doesn't it?
I have heard how much eating sauerkraut is beneficial to our digestion. So eat up. :)
You do find the most interesting places to visit.
Love the look of the cheese and saucisson, reminds me of being in Alsace last year for the grape harvest, yum! But the sauerkraut totally passed me by, sorry!
I love how you can just jump off a bus and do what you like, Carol. Great fun. These markets are dangerous. I still have 4 pots of unused snail spread that seemed so alluring at the time. I'm still working on the Corsican accent for their stalls, though.ReplyDelete

* Dollar, euro leap vs yen on Brainard comments
* Wall Street wans as it consolidates after recent highs
* Euro currency war talk continues
* U.S. crude jumps, though brent falters
By Leah Schnurr
NEW YORK, Feb 11 (Reuters) - The yen slid sharply against
the dollar and the euro on Monday after a U.S. Treasury official
voiced support for Japan's efforts to boost growth and end
Wall Street and world equity markets were little changed in
light volume as a lack of major economic news gave investors
little reason to push stocks higher, for now.
The euro had already climbed as a European policymaker
dismissed talk of intervening to weaken the currency, while U.S.
stocks were unable to get further traction after hitting
multi-year highs.
The dollar rose as high as 94.42 yen on Reuters data,
the highest since early May, 2010, and was last up 1.8 percent
at 94.33 yen.
The euro rose 2.1 percent to 126.46 yen, after
reaching as high as 126.59 yen.
The yen plunged after U.S. Treasury Undersecretary Lael
Brainard said the United States supports Japanese efforts to end
deflation and re-invigorate growth. The markets viewed her
comments as a green light to sell the yen further, analysts
"This suggests that the U.S. government has no problems with
yen weakness and won't support any official criticism of Japan's
exchange rate policies at the G20 meeting," said Kathy Lien,
managing director at BK Asset Management in New York.
Tensions over whether some countries are deliberately trying
to weaken their currencies were in focus, with French Finance
Minister Pierre Moscovici saying euro zone countries need closer
cooperation on exchange rate policy.
But that was offset by comments from European Central Bank
policymaker Jens Weidmann, who said that discussions about an
overvaluation of the euro are simply a diversion from
governments' task of sorting out their economies. He said the
euro was not over-valued.
After three days of declines against the dollar, the euro
was lifted by investors looking to buy at low levels, and the
currency accelerated its gains after Weidmann's remarks.
"Given the fragility of the markets lately, that was all it
took to bring the single currency above $1.3400 and test the
$1.3430 resistance area," said Matthew Lifson, senior analyst
and trader at Cambridge Mercantile Group in Princeton, New
The euro was up 0.3 percent at $1.3406 as speculators bought
into the earlier dip to near three-week lows.
European Central Bank President Mario Draghi suggested last
week that further euro strength could lead to an interest rate
cut. French President Francois Hollande has also urged the euro
zone to set an exchange rate target.
The Group of Seven major industrial nations may be about to
add its weight to the debate in an effort to cool the rhetoric.
Two G20 officials told Reuters the group was considering making
a statement this week reaffirming a commitment to
"market-determined" exchange rates.
G20 finance ministers and central bankers meet in Moscow on
Friday and Saturday.
"The G20 meeting in Moscow this week seems certain to focus
on 'currency wars' but beyond a bland call for countries not to
engage in competitive devaluations, it's hard to see what
concrete steps can be taken at this stage," said Kit Juckes, FX
strategist at Societe Generale in London.
The fear of competitive devaluations by major economies has
been building since new Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe began
putting pressure on the country's central bank to take
aggressive easing measures to revive the nation's economy.
Stock and other markets showed little reaction to a speech
from Federal Reserve Vice Chairman Janet Yellen. Seen as a
potential successor to Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke next year,
Yellen said the central bank's aggressive and ongoing easing of
monetary policy is warranted given the state of the labor
Investors will get some insight into President Barack
Obama's plan for spurring the economy in his State of the Union
address on Tuesday.
Encouraging U.S. and Chinese data last week helped push U.S.
equities higher, sending the tech-focused Nasdaq to a 12-year
closing high and the S&P; 500 to a five-year peak.
Less than two months into the year, the S&P; 500 is up more
than 6 percent, but the rally has stalled with the S&P; and Dow
industrial indexes near record highs.
"This is still a market that looks terrific, but when you're
up for six weeks in a row, everyone is going to want to take a
pause going into the seventh week even if there is no bad news
out there," said Eric Kuby, chief investment officer at North
Star Investment Management in Chicago.
"Everyone wants to buy on a dip in this market, but if
you're on the sidelines right now, the decline we're seeing
today just isn't the kind you would jump in on," Kuby said.
The Dow Jones industrial average closed down 21.73
points, or 0.16 percent, at 13,971.24. The Standard & Poor's 500
Index edged down 0.92 points, or 0.06 percent, at
1,517.01. The Nasdaq Composite Index was off 1.87
points, or 0.06 percent, to 3,192.00.
The benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury note was off
4/32 to yield 1.964 percent.
MSCI's world equity index was down 0.3
percent, and the pan-European FTSEurofirst 300 index
ended down 0.7 percent.
Brent crude prices fell as gasoline futures fell and as
investors worried about the health of the euro zone economy.
Brent slipped 77 cents to $118.13 a barrel. U.S.
crude futures settled up $1.31 to $97.03, narrowing the
spread between higher priced Brent futures and their U.S.
counterpart after it widened last week.

ATLANTA (AP) — As the last few minutes of Georgia's busy legislative session ticked off the clock, Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed was hanging out with Gov. Nathan Deal and his staff to watch the action unfold.
It may not sound unusual until you think about the fact, in this era of hyper-partisan rhetoric, that Deal is a conservative Republican and Reed a key Democratic ally of President Barack Obama. The friendship between Deal, 70, and Reed, 43, has its roots in a shared interest in economic development and has blossomed into a powerful political alliance that is already paying dividends with a number of major corporations heading to Atlanta and neither man yet to face a significant re-election challenge.
"It's pretty incredible when you think how close they are," said Chip Lake, a longtime GOP strategist in Georgia. "With all the partisanship going on in Washington, D.C., I think people in the state expect their leaders to govern. And while this alliance may make some on the far right or on the far left skeptical, it certainly shows the two of them have a commitment to governing and are willing to put partisan differences aside."
The mayor and governor frequently appear together at events, introduce each other as "my friend" and praise each other's accomplishments. The two recently joined U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan to talk about the benefits of early childhood education. A few days earlier, they shared the stage at a conference and spoke about their friendship. Reed noted his office was just 300 steps or so from the governor's office at the Capitol, "but you would have thought in Georgia over the last 30 or 40 years, regardless of party, that walk was a 10K."
In fact, when Deal walked to City Hall for a news conference earlier this year to announce a deal on funding a new NFL stadium, his staff was told a governor hadn't been across the street in 30 years. Reed, who runs the state's largest city, with 423,000 residents, said there are a number of issues on which they find common ground. The two traveled to Washington to lobby the Obama administration on behalf of a project to deepen the Savannah River port, which Reed argues is essential to Atlanta's success as a global business hub with companies including Home Depot and UPS.
"Folks that are playing the conflict game, where I bash you and you bash me, I think are losing across the United States of America," said Reed, a Howard University-trained attorney who became mayor in 2010. "The old tired politics would be me trying to one-up the governor or play gotcha, but how does that help the people of the state of Georgia?"
The governor, also an attorney before being elected to Congress in 1992, said that shared motivation forms the basis of a friendship that began after a series of introductory meetings arranged by mutual friends in the General Assembly. Both are former state lawmakers, although Deal was already in Congress when Reed was first elected as a state representative.
"We don't have time to play games, and we don't play games with each other," Deal said.
There are mutual benefits as well. Reed offers the Republican governor access to a Democratic president's administration, and Deal offers the Democratic mayor an important relationship with state leaders making decisions that affect the city.
A critical moment came in 2011 when the state was looking to persuade Porsche to stay in Georgia and build its new North American headquarters in Atlanta. Deal had recently taken office, and the project quickly became a top priority for him and the mayor, who had a site in mind near Atlanta's airport, the world's busiest. It became clear to Porsche's leadership that not only were the governor and mayor communicating, they were speaking in one voice.
"You could tell from their interaction that these were not two people who had to be nice to each other," said Joseph Folz, general counsel for Porsche Cars North America, Inc. "This was a far smoother negotiation process than any prior site search for which I have been involved. I do think that is because every organization gets its character from the top."
Folz credited Deal and Reed's partnership with the confidence to move forward and said company officials have shared their positive experience with others in the business community.
The governor's chief of staff, Chris Riley, said Deal and Reed are successful in focusing on shared interests and avoiding political differences.
"We don't talk about Medicaid expansion," Riley said. "There's not a pro-life, pro-choice discussion going on in the Suburban as they go to an economic development meeting. Usually, it's the mayor telling a joke, the governor laughing and I'm on the floor hysterical."
The mayor has also won over the governor's wife, Sandra, who took it upon herself to offer the unmarried Reed some motherly advice after they appeared together at an educational event, according to Riley.
"She told the mayor, 'You need to stop dating around. It's time for you to settle down. You're old enough,'" Riley said, laughing as he quoted the governor's wife. "It was hardcore, but (Reed) loved it."
Riley is such a fan that he donated $250 to the mayor's re-election campaign.
"I'd vote for him if I could," said Riley, who lives outside the city. "I truly believe that this relationship, this time in which Georgia and the city can work together to position the state to be a global hub, is truly a special time that I think is our responsibility."
State Rep. Calvin Smyre, a longtime Democratic lawmaker who has known Reed for years, said Reed is pragmatic and focused on being a "responsive and progressive leader." As mayor, Reed oversees a strongly Democratic city with a majority black population in a state where all the statewide elected officials are Republicans.
"He believes in working across political aisles, across race relations and across cultural relations," Smyre said. "Mayors have to get things done."
That's not to say the political alliance is without risk.
The mayor is the most high-profile elected Democrat in the state, but he has gotten pushback for a deal that would use public money to help build the new Falcons stadium. He also has made comments suggesting state Democrats should focus on the 2014 U.S. Senate and 2016 presidential races. Left off the list was mention of the 2014 governor's race, which raised eyebrows among Democrats.
When asked whether it was a sign of weakness that Democrats had yet to offer a candidate to challenge the governor, Reed said no and reiterated Deal "has done a good job as governor."
For Deal, he found himself on the wrong side of a statewide transportation referendum last year that was opposed by tea party groups. The governor and mayor joined forces to push the local penny-sales-tax plan to raise funds for transportation projects. It was defeated across much of the state, including the metro Atlanta area, although the governor didn't appear to lose much political capital.
Debbie Dooley with Tea Party Patriots said she wouldn't criticize the governor for doing the same thing her group did. They partnered with the NAACP against the transportation measure.
"It's good to reach across party lines, as long as you don't compromise your principles," Dooley said.

Visual Glossary
Faults and earthquakesLike most stories in geology, this one starts beneath the surface. As you may know, the continents we live on are parts of moving plates. Most of the action takes place where plates meet. Plates may collide, pull apart, or scrape past each other.
All the stress and strain produced by moving plates builds up in the Earths rocky crust until it simply can't take it any more. All at once, CRACK!, the rock breaks and the two rocky blocks move in opposite directions along a more or less planar fracture surface called a fault.
The sudden movement generates an earthquake at a point called the focus. The energy from the earthquake spreads out as seismic waves in all directions. The epicenter of the earthquake is the location where seismic waves reach the surface directly above the focus.
Normal faultWe classify faults by how the two rocky blocks on either side of a fault move relative to each other. The one you see here is a normal fault. A normal fault drops rock on one side of the fault down relative to the other side. Take a look at the side that shows the fault and arrows indicating movement. See the block farthest to the right that is shaped kind of like a foot? Thats the foot wall. Now look at the block on the other side of the fault. See how its resting or hanging on top of the foot wall block? Thats the hanging wall.
Now, consider this: if we hold the foot wall stationary, gravity will normally want to pull the hanging wall down, right? Faults that move the way you would expect gravity to move them normally are called normal faults! Not so hard, is it?
Take a look where the fault has ruptured the Earth surface. Notice that movement along the fault has produced an elongate cliff? That fault-generated cliff is called a fault scarp.
Reverse faultCompare this image with the normal fault above. Along a reverse fault one rocky block is pushed up relative to rock on the other side.
Can you see the foot-shaped foot wall and the hanging wall resting or hanging above it? Think about this: if we hold the foot wall stationary, where would the hanging wall go if we reversed gravity? The hanging wall will slide upwards, right? When movement along a fault is the reverse of what you would expect with normal gravity we call them reverse faults!
Strike-slip faultStrike-slip faults have a different type of movement than normal and reverse faults. You probably noticed that the blocks that move on either side of a reverse or normal fault slide up or down along a dipping fault surface.
The rocky blocks on either side of strike-slip faults, on the other hand, scrape along side-by-side. You can see in the illustration that the movement is horizontal and the rock layers beneath the surface haven't been moved up or down on either side of the fault.
Take a look where the fault has ruptured the Earth surface. Notice that pure strike-slip faults do not produce fault scarps. There are other tell-tale changes in the landscape that signal strike-slip faulting. As you might guess, where the two massive blocks on either side of a strike-slip fault grind against each other, rock is weakened. Streams flowing across strike-slip faults are often diverted to flow along this weakened zone.
Real-lifeIn real-life faulting is not such a simple picture! Usually faults do not have purely up-and-down or side-by-side movement as we described above. Its much more common to have some combination of fault movements occurring together. For example, along Californias famous San Andreas strike-slip fault system, about 95% of the movement is strike-slip, but about 5% of the movement is reverse faulting in some areas!

The notion of unification originated in the field of formal logic and has been used extensively in Computer Science and Programming Languages. Most notably, Prolog uses the full power of unification.
Unification is also at the core of type checking algorithms in the tradition of Milner's, and a limited form - pattern matching - is available to the user in languages of the ML and Haskell family.
The library presented in these pages provides a full blown unification framework for Common Lisp.
Writing a pattern matcher or a an unifier in Common Lisp is easy, as long as we limit ourselves to manipulate only ATOMs and CONSes.
Alas, it would be much nicer if we could manipulate arbitrary Common Lisp objects as the ML programmer can with arbitrary ML objects.
The library presented here is the first one (to the best of the author's knowledge) that is capable of manipulating arbitrary Common Lisp objects.

A Republican proposal Monday to shave $2.2 trillion off projected budget deficits sets up a fiscal-cliff showdown with the White House because the plan includes reductions in the very tax rates that Democrats seek to raise.
The Obama administration's opening offer sought to raise $1.6 trillion in taxes over 10 years, much of it from higher income-tax rates on the wealthy. Republican leaders in the House of Representatives countered Monday with their own offer, saying their plan would raise $800 billion in new tax revenues but basing that on cuts in tax rates coupled with limits on deductions that would make more income taxable.
The plan, contained in a three-page letter signed by seven House Republican leaders, is a counteroffer to last week's Obama administration proposal. Aimed at jump-starting stalled talks, the proposal instead sharpens the battle lines with just four weeks to go until temporary tax cuts expire for all Americans and automatic spending reductions start going into effect.
The Republican offer included:
– $1.2 trillion cut from projected spending over the coming decade.
– $800 billion in new tax revenues.
– $200 billion from changes to a wide variety of federal programs that might include new ways of calculating cost-of-living increases.
No money is included for economic stimulus; the Obama plan sought $50 billion in one year. Nor is any mention made of increasing the nation's debt limit.
That's significant, because the White House is seeking an easier way to approve increases that allow new debt to be issued to cover existing obligations. The federal government is expected to start bumping up against the $16.3 trillion debt ceiling late this month, and extraordinary measures to move money around could buy another two months, three at most, before the United States defaults on some of the debt it owes, absent establishment of a new ceiling..
The White House panned the proposal as unbalanced.
"In fact, it actually promises to lower rates for the wealthy and sticks the middle class with the bill," White House spokesman Dan Pfeiffer said in a statement. "While the president is willing to compromise to get a significant, balanced deal and believes that compromise is readily available to Congress, he is not willing to compromise on the principles of fairness and balance that include asking the wealthiest to pay higher rates."
House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, argued Monday that the White House offer "couldn't pass the House and couldn't pass the Senate."
The $800 billion in tax revenue, which Republicans contend is a significant concession, wouldn't be achieved through higher tax rates, "which we continue to oppose and will not agree to in order to protect small businesses and our economy," the House Republicans' letter said.
"Instead, new revenue would be generated through pro-growth tax reform that closes special interest loopholes and deductions while lowering rates," they argued.
The White House's proposal seeks to raise $600 billion over a decade by eliminating tax deductions, and $960 billion over 10 years by raising marginal tax rates for the top 2 percent of income earners.
It was unclear whether the Republican plan could raise $800 billion by lowering tax rates while curbing deductions so more income would be taxed.
"The bottom line is that without details you can't say much of anything. You can say yes, there are ways you can lower rates and get rid of preferences and bring in $800 billion," said Roberton Williams, a senior fellow at the Tax Policy Center, a research center run by the centrist Urban Institute and the center-left Brookings Institution.
If itemized income-tax deductions were capped at $50,000, that could result in about $750 billion in new revenue over 10 years, he said, about what Boehner proposes. If deductions were capped at $25,000, a number floated by the Mitt Romney campaign, it could yield more than $1.3 trillion over 10 years, Williams said.
"Could it be done? Yes. Specific parameters would drive it one way or the other," he said. "Without more details, it's really impossible to say whether it actually meets the criteria."
The $1.2 trillion in proposed spending cuts includes $300 billion in savings on discretionary programs, or spending that Congress and the White House can control more easily. Such programs usually include education, housing and transportation.
The other $900 billion would come from so-called mandatory programs and health care, presumably Medicare, Medicaid and other programs in which spending is often subject to automatic formulas.
The GOP plan wasn't specific, although the letter to the president noted that a House-passed budget resolution assumes "enactment of structural Medicare reform." The White House hasn't been too specific, either, and that's troubling to budget watchdog groups.
"The big deal is health care spending," Alice Rivlin, a former Federal Reserve vice chairman, said Monday.
Rivlin and former New Mexico Republican Sen. Pete Domenici, who headed the Senate Budget Committee during past tax deals, offered an updated version of a plan they co-authored at the Bipartisan Policy Center. Their plan includes graphics showing that health care spending is the driver of the nation's fiscal problems, and both rapped the administration for not spelling out more clearly what it envisions for mandatory spending programs.
"You can't get to a solution unless you do entitlement reform," said Domenici, now an elder statesmen..
The Republicans haven't publicly worked out the process for approving any of their proposals. Some presumably would be passed before Dec. 31, when the Bush-era tax cuts are due to expire and automatic spending cuts totaling $109 billion are to take effect in January. Other pieces would be passed later, though the two sides would be expected to create a framework for consideration.
"What we're putting forth is a credible plan that deserves consideration from the White House," Boehner said.
In the Senate, where Republicans haven't offered a plan, Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky was sympathetic to the House offer.
"While the president hasn't moved an inch away from his efforts to please his radical left-wing base, the speaker has consistently shown a good-faith effort to find common ground and a realistic approach to solving the very real economic problems facing our country," McConnell said.

2NAME: Zoher
ALIAS: Scherzo, Sheer, I-Worm.Zoher
Sheer is an e-mail worm. It spreads in an e-mail message with long Italian text and an attachment called javascript.exe. On some systems, the attachment is executed automatically.
This worm sends itself to everyone in the Windows Address book. It uses the default system SMTP mail server (found from Windows registry).
The worm exploits i-frame vulnerability and because of that on some systems the worm is able to self-launch itself when an infected e-mail is viewed (for example, with Outlook and IE 5.0 or 5.01). To do this the worm uses a known vulnerability in IE that allows execution of an email attachment.

5NAME: Mandragore
ALIAS: GnutellaMandragore, Gnutella worm
GnutellaMandragore is a worm which spreads through the Gnutella peer-to-peer file sharing system (which is somewhat similar to Napster). If you're not using Gnutella, you're not at risk. Popular programs to access Gnutella include ToadNode and BearShare.
When a PC gets infected, the worm will connect to the Gnutella network as one node. After that it will monitor what kind of files other people are searching for, and will answer those queries.
First infected files in the Gnutella network were spotted on Friday the 23rd of February, 2001.

Mr. Speaker, on September 24, 1998, the Government of Canada officially proclaimed the last Sunday of September of every year as Police and Peace Officers' National Memorial Day.
This national memorial day gives Canadians an opportunity each year to formally express appreciation for the dedication of police and peace officers who made the ultimate tragic sacrifice to keep our communities safe.
For the last 12 years, I have had the honour and privilege of attending the memorial as accompanist of the North York Regional Police Male Chorus. This September 25, it was a spectacular sight to see the thousands of men and women in uniform on Parliament Hill gathered to honour those who had fallen and to support the families left behind.
Today I invite all my colleagues to join me in saluting police and peace officers in service across our country and in honouring those who died while protecting their communities, for they are our heroes. We shall not forget them.

Style # 201300
Sophia Rhinestone Studded Sandal - WEB EXCLUSIVE is rated out of 5 by 1.
Rated 3 out of 5 by Hollywood90277 from Gorgeous but delicate.... These heels (I bought them in gunmetal) are absolutely stunning and so classy! Such a great alternative to black. The stones are very very sensitive to popping off so I'm not sure how many uses I will actually get out of these but I'll take my chance. Also, the toe strap was a bit tight but being fabric, I knew I could stretch it. I put a sunglass case through it and left it overnight which worked perfectly. I would love to give these 5 stars (and they are visually) but not many people wanna deal with being so careful with a pair of shoes. Im pretty sure I wouldnt be able to drive in them as the heel is completely covered in stones and would probably pop off.....

TD Ameritrade said it added a record number of breakaway brokers for the fiscal year 2012, attracting 441 registered investment advisors to its platform, up 27 percent from last year.
For the fiscal fourth quarter, TD attracted 117 new teams, down slightly from the prior quarter. During a conference call Monday morning, Chief Executive Fred Tomczyk said the Omaha, Neb.-based company's pipeline of breakaway brokers continues to be , though he declined to give specifics.
Peter Dorsey, managing director of sales at TD Ameritrade Institutional, its advisor unit, attributed the growth in breakaways to client demand as well as the firm's efforts to make the transition to independence easier.
"In addition to a lot of the tumult and change going on at the traditional Wall Street firms, a new trend we're starting to see is that sometimes people are being pulled to independence by their clients," Dorsey told WealthManagement.com. "The end clients somewhat have a confidence crisis with some of their traditional firms, and are starting to talk to their advisors in that captive environment today about what other options are out there."
TD's net new assets were $10 billion for the quarter, up 9 percent from last year, bringing total client assets to a record $472 billion, up 25 percent year-over-year. Unlike Schwab, TD doesn't specifically break out the contribution of its advisor unit. The firm said its Institutional unit accounts for about 50 to 60 percent of net new assets, and about 30 to 40 percent of total client assets.
Dorsey said the firm's new recruits are coming from various advisor channels; for the fiscal year, about 24 percent of new advisors were so-called "tuck-ins"—when advisors leave a firm to join another rather than start their own practice. Despite retention packages winding down at the wirehouses, recruitment out of the wirehouses has slowed a bit, Dorsey said. Meanwhile, they're seeing an abnormally large swell of advisors leaving the independent broker/dealers.
"[IBD advisors] have already made that first step to independence," Dorsey said. "Typically one of the evolutions that we've seen is that they go from a wirehouse to an independent broker/dealer to full independence.
"Wall Street is certainly scrambling at this point to make sure that the bleeding stops."
Dorsey said most of the firm's RIAs had contingency plans in place to handle Hurricane Sandy, which hit the Northeast early last week. TD Ameritrade's client service and operations were not affected, as calls could be routed to its other locations.
"The call volumes were fairly light during the week, but we expect as people get settled back this week and most of the power's being restored, for volumes to normalize," Dorsey said.

I've been tremendouly helped by your advice and comments on this forum. My husband and I are moving to Peru in February of next year to teach for 6 months to a year. I'm a credentialed elementary teacher with a TEFL certificate. I've lots of experience with kids and a few months with international adults here in the States. I want to teach adults. We are looking to move to Agrequipa and had an offer to teach at a language school there full time (6 hr. a day) for 1200 soles. This sounded low to me, and I wondered if someone could tell me their thoughts about it. They told us we could rent a flat in a nice neighborhood for 300 soles. My husband is a lawyer looking for an ESL position; he isn't certified. Does anyone know of a teaching position that would be ideal for a lawyer? Thanks so much for your help and advice!

Lima, Cajamarca and Trujillo have more international schools. Obviously, Lima has the most. 1200 soles is nothing. that's about 400 usd. Top international schools in Lima pay 3K USD. They're right about costs of living, but I'm assuming that you would want to fly home every once in a while, and that will take a large chunk out of your salary. My advice for you would be to get a job in a school. Prescott, or another bilnigual school, YOu should get from 1K to 2K usd, and have them pay the taxes or it's 30% of your salary. Also, ask about visas. Language schools usually don't get them. Your husband could teach to lawyers there in Arequipa. Or Business English. Have him charge 10 to 20 USD an hour. If he gets a group together, he could charge 10 usd and make 50 usd an hour with 5 people. If you have any questions, let me know and see my PM for more info about Peru.

Petersburg City Schools have four new teachers for the 2012-13 school year
Petersburg students will have four new teachers to learn from for the 2012-13 school year.
James Rodgers, a 25-year teaching veteran, comes to Petersburg by way of Utah and New Mexico.
Rodgers will teach middle school and high school special education.
"Special education is like a new frontier," Rodgers said. "You can bring your imagination and novel ideas to this program and someone will learn."
This is Rodgers first year to teach in Petersburg, but he has had Petersburg classroom experience.
"I substituted quite a bit last year," Rodgers stated. "I had the opportunity to get to know some of the students. It won't be completely foreign to me."
Rodgers has taught special education at every level over his teaching career.
"I love the elementary kids," Rodgers said. "But I think I'm needed at this level."
Rodgers explained that his biggest challenge for the year would be just getting the lay of the land. "This is a new situation for me and getting to know the other teachers, students, parents and technology of the program will be a challenge for me as well."
Dan VanSwearingen is taking his first teaching post as an elementary swim teacher.
"I am primarily set to teach elementary students," Van Swearingen said. "But I also have two seventh grade classes."
Van Swearingen is originally from Great Falls, Mont. but comes to Petersburg by way of Kansas City.
"I am really looking forward to having my own classroom and not having to follow someone else's plan," VanSwearingen said. "Originally, I was excited to move here just to be in Alaska and I really love it here. I like the hiking, fishing and hunting."
Van Swearingen went to school to teach Physical Education and Health.
"I never thought I would ever be teaching swimming," VanSwearingen said. "But after taking the water safety course, this is just another aspect of physical education, it just builds on that foundation."
VanSwearingen plans to make Petersburg his home and hopes to move into a full time position in the future.
"I don't think I could have chosen a better place to be for my first teaching assignment," he said. "I am also so lucky to have Kelly Peterson to help me, she will keep me in line."
Cynthia Fry comes from Tacoma, Wash. and has been teaching for 11 years in an alternative setting.
Fry fills a position for a brand new program, the high school alternative school.
"This program is primarily for kids that just don't fit in a campus setting or their behaviors were just too extreme to be successful on campus," Fry said. "I like to brag that I had the best of the best of Tacoma and I'm assuming I will get the best of the best of Petersburg."
Fry has tools and resources that will make her an asset to the students of Petersburg.
"I will bring some of my ideas on curriculum," Fry said. "But I have to know what the exact needs are and this is a great opportunity to create a program from the ground up."
Her goals at this point are to just get organized and settled to create those community connections that will be key to success for the program and the students.
"I'm looking so forward to this opportunity," she stated. "I get to work at both ends of the spectrum and every day is a new day."
Tom Thompson was born and raised in Petersburg, but left to teach in Juneau for 12 years.
Thompson takes the place of long time teacher Bev Sierks who retired last year.
"Bev has set the bar extremely high for me this year," Thompson said. "She was a wonderful teacher."
Thompson explained that his goals are to engage the kids and help them know they each have different paths to take in life and he wants to make sure he prepares them to take those paths.
"I don't really believe I have anything different to offer by way of teaching, except possibly my methods," Thompson said. "I just want to make sure they are ready for college, vocational training or the work world."
Mathematics is a tool by which nature is described, he continued.
"We use math to make predictions and choices, it is modeling nature," he said. "I feel like I am at home, I'm happy to be here and I am really looking forward to teaching math to these high school students."

John Ewing
Curator of Film
In 1986, John Ewing became the first person hired by the Cleveland Museum of Art to do nothing but program films. More than 1,900 films later, he's still at it.
Ewing came to the museum after having run various film series in Granville, Ohio; Canton, Ohio; and Cleveland. He programmed his first films as director of the 1973 January Term film program at his alma mater, Denison University, in Granville. He was also an officer of the Denison Film Society. Between 1975 and 1983, Ewing was the director of the Canton Film Society, a program of the Stark County District Library that presented free international films every week. From 1984 to 1986, he ran the weekly Monday Cinema series at the Cleveland Heights-University Heights Public Library—a program he founded. The mid-eighties also saw Ewing booking films for the Canton Palace Theatre and working as a freelance film presenter at such venues as the New Mayfield Repertory Cinema, the Cleveland Institute of Art, and the Allen Memorial Medical Library.
Ewing co-founded the Cleveland Cinematheque in 1984, and started showing films under the auspices of the Cinematheque at Case Western Reserve University in 1985. In 1986, Ewing moved the Cinematheque to the Cleveland Institute of Art, where it continues to this day, screening 250+ different films annually. In addition to working two days a week at the art museum, Ewing is also the full-time director of the Cleveland Institute of Art Cinematheque.
At the museum, Ewing has increased the number of film screenings to two per week. He oversaw the acquisition and installation of a pair of new 35mm projectors in Gartner Auditorium in 1988, and—11 years later—installed a second set of 35mm projectors in the museum's Lecture Hall, making the Cleveland Museum of Art one of the few art museums in the country with two fully functional film projection booths.
He received the prestigious Order of the Chevalier (Knight) of Arts and Letters in 2010 from the Republic of France. Sir John was recognized for his significant contributions to French culture through the museum's film program and the Cleveland Institute of Art's Cinematheque. He's in good company. Robert Redford, Uma Thurman, David Bowie, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Jackson Pollock have all received the award in previous years.

You've probably heard by that it seems there's a difference of agreement on environmental policy between a federal political party and its governing provincial cousins:
The Alberta government is spending $25-million to spruce up the province's image for tourists, immigrant workers and environmental critics. As for the environment part of the message, Alberta should save the money. Alberta's climate change policy will soon be dead. It will be dead in the United States. It is already dead with the Harper government, even if the Harperites don't want publicly to administer last rites. It's dead with some of the smart people in the oil industry.
Oh, you were referring to the difference of opinion in the Liberal camp, with Ontario premier Dalton McGuinty supposedly being at odds with Stephane Dion's in-progress carbon shift proposal? OK, we can talk about that one too:
Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty is at odds with his Ottawa cousins over a key plan to tax carbon emissions, saying he'd prefer a cap-and-trade system for the country's most populous province over a carbon tax.
The tax, which is expected to be a central plank in the federal Liberal election platform, is one way to put a price on carbon and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but his "first choice" for Ontario is a cap-and-trade system, McGuinty said Tuesday.
Let's look at what Dalton is actually saying, and what he didn't say. He didn't say he's against a carbon shift. He said is "first choice" would be cap and trade. And his brother, surely a trusted source (sure David is a federal Liberal MP, but what would Mom say if he misrepresented Dalton's views?) backs that up:
David McGuinty downplayed concerns that the carbon tax plan could drive a wedge between the Ontario and federal Liberals.
He said he had a "general discussion" with his brother about the merits of one system over another, but the premier didn't express an opinion about carbon taxes.
"It was more of an exchange of ideas around the two possibilities, the two primary market mechanisms that can be harnessed to achieve the same end, which is a price on carbon," McGuinty said.
In fact, a federal carbon tax could complement a provincial cap-and-trade system, he said.
"I think what the premier's said is, 'Look, given the here and now of the specificity of the Ontario economy, and how we would like to go forward in pricing carbon, we would rather go with a cap-and-trade system first,"' he said.
"But I doubt very much the premier's ruling out the notion of a carbon tax shift."
So, there you go. Dalton isn't against a carbon shift, he just feels that for Ontario, and the provincial level, cap and trade would be best. It's Dalton's job to advocate what's best for Ontario. And it's Stephane Dion's to advocate what's best for Canada. I'm confident the two positions are far from mutually exclusive.
Indeed, as David (and lots of experts, and much of Europe) has said cap and trade and a carbon shift would (and overseas, do) compliment each other nicely, so any talk of a rift here is just media over dramatization. Nothing in the story, no direct quotes, supports the headline.
And as I mentioned the other, one benefit of the way the Liberal Party is developing this policy, and the fact that it hasn't been finalized yet, is that the concerns of Premier McGuinty and Ontario can be heard, considered, and factored into the final policy.
I hope, and I trust, that we're consulting right now with our provincial cousins, or in David's case with his brother, to ensure the input of Ontario, and all the provinces, is factored into the final carbon tax shift policy before it is unveiled so that we can develop a proposal for federal environmental policy that works in harmony with, and compliments, the important work being done by many provinces.
I think that, in the end, Dalton's input will only lead to a stronger, more effective and widely accepted policy. That would be a win win for Ontario, and for Canada.Recommend this Post on Progressive Bloggers

Lehman Career
Banchetti's shaping of Lehman's fixed-income business meant he was one of the top dozen bankers who helped build the U.S. firm's European activities, according to a person familiar with company. By the bank's peak years of 2006 and 2007, his unit was generating about $3 billion in sales out of a total of just less than $7 billion for Europe, said the person, who asked not to be identified because the information was never publicly disclosed.
Banchetti has filed to recover $26 million in compensation he forfeited when the firm filed for bankruptcy in September 2008, filings show.
He is now taking advantage of a dearth in local specialist advice in tackling complex derivatives, say lawyers and consultants who have advised clients on swaps. Customers often don't have the expertise internally and external advisers lack the market knowledge that gives securities firms an advantage in negotiations.
International independent risk advisers, common in the U.K. and the U.S., "simply don't exist" in Italy, according to Paolo Esposito of Chatham Financial, a U.S. firm that advises clients on interest-rate and currency hedging and worked with the city of Milan on its 455 million-euro swaps settlement with four banks a year ago.
'Grave Asymmetry'
It was a "grave asymmetry of information" that laid at the heart of the fraud four banks committed when they sold interest-rate swaps to the municipality, judge Oscar Magi wrote on Feb. 4. Magi convicted the firms, including Banchetti's client JPMorgan and Deutsche Bank, in December for their role in overseeing the fraud by their bankers.
Over the two-and-a-half-year trial that often saw Banchetti attending the weekly hearings as one of the banks' cluster of advisers, the judge heard from the securities firms that university professors who acted as expert witnesses for the prosecution couldn't challenge their superior market knowledge. What is standard market practice isn't what professors teach in textbooks, the banks' lawyers argued. The banks didn't admit to any wrongdoing as part of their settlement agreement.
Don't Demonize
Italians need independent financial advice and markets mustn't be "demonized," Banchetti told Radio24 in an interview in November 2011.
Banchetti's business is poised to benefit as municipalities across Italy review their derivatives contracts following the Milan case. Local governments are losing more than 1.3 billion euros, according to June data released by the country's central bank.
"What's the choice?" said Simon Maughan, a banking analyst at Olivetree Securities Ltd. in London. "If there is an issue here, then the solution is in preventing banks engaging in such complicated financial transactions in future. The answer is not in denying Monte Paschi the chance to clean house."

Catch Up with IFAC Arts
Artsy Editorial
Series: Meditation, Apollo vs. Dionysus
Signature: yes
Best known as a painter of neoexpressionist works that span figuration and abstraction, Frank Shifreen identifies as a painter first and foremost, though he also produces multimedia works. His practice navigates historical conventions in lush images that lure the viewer into the emotional fold of his work. He works with a bright palette, which has informed his recent forays into digital art production, taking the same expressionist tendency and filtering it through neon colors. Shifreen endeavors to reconcile the digital with the painterly; "I do what I see, and I don't try to control what I do," he has said. "I do nothing the same way twice."
American, b. 1948, New London, Connecticut, based in New York, New York

Because of all this busy-ness, I will try to refrain from posting anything here at least until the middle of August. I've got an interview with Juliet Ulman (senior editor at Bantam) in the works, and will post that whenever we get around to finishing it; also, I'll probably make an appearance or two at the LitBlog Co-op, but otherwise I expect this site will be dormant for at least a couple weeks.
Here, then, as a parting, are some new links:
- The Little Professor on the Dozois and Hartwell/Cramer Year's Best collections.
- John Joseph Adams interviewed my Mafia pal Laird Barron, and has outtakes.
- Barbara Ehrenreich has a blog. (I stole this from somebody, who stole it from somebody else, and I can't remember who either was, or I would credit them.)
- Hal Duncan is writing what I wouldn't be surprised to see become a book-length series of blog entries about strange fiction. (That link is to the intro. Here are parts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. I expect there will be more.)
- John Clute has a new homepage. (via Cheryl Morgan)
- Charles Simic considers Dada.
- Waggish on Christopher Priest's The Affirmation and Left-Brained Literature.
- Dead puppies. (MP3)

I have tasted the '04 whites last summer in Senftenberg in Nigls wonderful new tasting room and was very pleased. They all seemed very clean and focussed with bright acidity. Very classy.
I bought some GV Senftenberger Piri and some Privat. They are still slumbering in my cellar.
I guess you can't go wrong with Martin Nigls wines.

Do you have a favorite winery in Austria, one you buy from every year? For me the wines from Brundlmayer and Gobelsburg from Kamptal offer very great quality and maybe better value than the great wines from the Wachau, which are very pricey over here.

The Alkaline Diet 101
Let's start with the premise behind the alkaline diet. The opposite of alkalinity is acidity. The American diet is filled with highly acidic foods such as meats and refined carbohydrates. Too many acidic foods cause inflammation and leave the body vulnerable to disease. Signs of an acidic body include fatigue, gum and teeth problems, premature aging, and an impaired immune system.
To be clear, whether or not a food is acidic or alkaline has more to do with how your body reacts to it, rather than the actual acid contained in the food itself. For example, lemons are actually very alkaline and are excellent consumed raw.
What's blood got to do with it?
Our blood pH (the balance of acid and alkaline) should be between 7.35 and 7.45. A pH that slides too far alkaline or too far acidic is asking for trouble. Maintaining a healthy pH level by eating the right foods, ensures better health.
Eat these alkaline foods for better health
Not surprisingly, many alkaline foods are vegetables known for their cancer-fighting properties. These include:
● raw spinach
● brussel sprouts
● cauliflower
● alfalfa grass
● raw broccoli
● red cabbage
● carrots
● cucumbers
● asparagus
● artichokes
● raw celery
● collards
● raw zucchini
● raw green beans
● most lettuce
● raw eggplant
● raw peas
● alfalfa sprouts
Notice that many of these stipulate that the vegetables should be consumed raw. This is because most foods become more acidic when they are cooked.
Many fruits are considered alkaline as well. Some of the most alkalizing fruits include:
● lemons
● limes
● mangoes
● tangerines
● grapes
● blueberries
● papayas
● melons
● pears
● figs
● dates
Other healthy alkalizing foods to include in the diet are:
● olive oil
● borage oil
● sprouted grains
● seaweed
● wild rice
● millet
