The Obama administration has been quietly advising local police not to disclose details about surveillance technology they are using to collect cellphone data.
Insider trading with no strings attached. There is no need for bribery in our system. Just a hot tip on who's getting the next dose of pork from the Feds.
Total information dominance. In the fascist climate we find ourselves in it is critical that the developments of intrusive technology are kept in context.
It is widely acknowledged that Google is a cooperative partner of the federal government and its efforts to establish the total security/surveillance state, individual rights be damned.
It is also known that tech giants that have cooperated in these illegal efforts have granted government access to private tech development allowing for indiscriminate backdoor access to consumer goods. Now they want access to not just your PC, phone and television but your thermostat and your automobile interior.
I don't laugh at Obama jokes
If a guy hired someone to murder your neighbors and then he got in front of a bunch of people and told a few jokes, would you laugh?
Would there be people in the crowd saying "you may not agree with his actions, but he's a cool guy?"

Check your Privilege by taking the test! If you can beat my score of over 200 and attain the rank of Shitlord; you're a champ!
The old crazy fucker wants a CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT in his personal vendetta against the Koch Brothers that reverses the Citizens United Supreme Court decision and gives power to regulate campaign funds back to the Feds.
The motherfuckers CRAZY! INSANE! He's lost every god damn marble left in…
What does he have against the Koch brothers? Aren't they two private business owners or something? Don't they own a business together (I haven't kept up on them, I've had a hard time keeping the story straight.)?
The Koch brothers are literally fascists. They're using their wealth to merge state and corporate power - that's exactly what fascism is, as defined by Mussolini's ghost writer, Giovanni Gentile, who came up with the word.
Are they, or is that what Reid is saying? I never seem to know anymore.
I'm sorry, not to interject but the Koch brothers are Emmanuel Goldstein incarnate. They are the definition of a red herring. It is humorous to see the vitriol aimed at them when you realize that the right hand man of the president and the chief economic advisor to the executive is literally the CEO of General Electric.
The feds seized 250 pounds of hemp seed ordered by Kentucky for its pilot hemp production program. Prior to prohibition hemp was the largest cash crop in the state along with tobacco. The state is sanely reintroducing it for industrial production and it was permitted under the federal farm bill. However, the DEA is stonewalling local efforts.
For those of you who don't know but will take the time to read the article, Representative Massie from Kentucky is one of the few politicians from my home state (or anywhere for that matter) that is admirable. He's one of those guys who ran because he wasn't going to sit by while the machine steamrolled and he is one of those who would genuinely rather be doing something else and has fought the good fight while there.
so apparently the hubs has a reddit stalker and last night they professed their love for him and said they've been following him for a long time. makes me wonder if i have one. i'd better goddamn have one by now.
Probably himself."I would stalk me… I would stalk me so hard."

Superman lawsuit documents for sale
EsquireComics.com is run by Mark Zaid who lives outside of DC. I'm not quite sure what makes these worth anything though as they appear to be printed from microfilm -- which should be available to anyone who goes to the archives that the records are deposited in.
1 comment:
- Mark S. Zaid, Esq. said...
Actually the documents are not printed from microfilm. The majority of them are vintage copies from 1947 and earlier.
As far as is known, the documents no longer exist. The courthouse copies were destroyed long ago and if DC Comics has copies, don't expect those to surface anytime soon!
There are also some original signed documents from Wayne Boring and Joe Shuster.
Finally, the legal briefs that survived are also originals, i.e., carbon copies made at the time.
Those that deal with antiquated documents will explain that while these may not all be worth the same as the "originals" were those to exist, they are just a step down. And because the originals don't exist, they might as well be originals.
If anyone is interested in further information, just e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Wouldn't it be nice if adults were allowed a recess during the day? Or were given a designated area to let out some steam? I found that place in Rome, Wisconsin. A playground of sorts, to let loose on no matter what your age is.
Dyracuse Recreational Area has 12 miles of trails, 2 motorists tracks and is open for motorcycles and all-terrain vehicles for riding.
Rome Public Works Superintendent John Sonnenberg says, "This is a very family oriented park. We will have families come in, you can purchase family passes. People will come in, mom and dad and two, three kids, they'll be out here."
Sonnenberg was giving me the park details, but all I could hear was it was play time, and I couldn't wait to let my hair fly and have some fun. Sonnenberg says I'm not the only one.
"Our riders are chomping at the bit to get out here, they would've liked us to have opened with all the snow out on the track. However, we have to make sure the facility is safe to ride. Our ridership is up, people are happy, they're out in the mud and they're playing a lot."
So if you're searching for that inner child in you that needs a recess, there's nothing like getting a bit of dirt on your face to feel re-charged again.

Dragons Dominate Rush City 54-0, Prepare For Braham
The Pine City Dragons Football team ran their record to 3-0 in dominating fashion on Friday (Sept. 17) night over Rush City.The final score of the contest was 54-0.
The Dragons were led by senior running back Adam Olson, who had touchdown runs of 81 and 80 yards, and a touchdown reception of 57 yards on a swing pass from QB Nate Wendorf.
Senior RB Mike Hansmann also stood out in the contest, rattling off a 38-yard TD in the second quarter on a double-reverse and looking very fast on several other runs. Additionally Hansmann completed a pair of 2-point conversions in the contest.
Also scoring touchdowns in the game were Senior Tyler Clark (58-yard fumble return) and Junior Josh Monson (23-yard TD run).
Pine City's defense held off Rush City late in the contest, and still hasn't allowed a single score through three games. The Dragons will take on the undefeated Braham Bombers on Friday (Sept. 24) night in Braham.
Joe Wolf caught up with Adam Olson after the game for an interview.

There are two decades between Channel 4 anchors Krishnan Guru-Murthy, and Jon Snow, but youth may not be the deciding factor in a forthcoming display of stamina.
The pair have signed up to take part in a sponsored 24-hour bike ride from London to Paris in May, with Guru-Murthy admitting that he has his work cut out. "Fitness is not my strong point; I haven't cycled since I was about 13," he explains. The ride is in aid of the Duchenne Children's Trust. "There will be an inevitable rivalry with Jon. People have said to me 'but he's 65', but he cycles every day and is far fitter than I am."
Snow meanwhile has confidence in his colleague. "In 13 years of presenting Channel 4 News with Krishnan I have never seen any potential in converting him from Porsche to pedals … but his hour has come!"

Aaron Greenberg (Hill) gets things done. The ambitious 23-year-old has exaggerated his way into a dream job just in time for a career-making assignment. His mission: Fly to London and escort a rock god to L.A.s Greek Theatre for the first-stop on a $100-million tour.
His warning: Turn your back on him at your own peril. British rocker Aldous Snow (Brand) is both a brilliant musician and walking sex. Weary of yes men and piles of money, the former front man is searching for the meaning of life. But that doesnt mean he cant have a few orgies while he finds it. When he learns his true love is in California, Aldous makes it his quest to win her backright before kick-starting his world domination.
As the countdown to the concert begins, one intern must navigate a minefield of London drug smuggles, New York City brawls and Vegas lap dances to deliver his charge safe and, sort of, sound. He may have to coax, lie to, enable and party with Aldous, but Aaron will get him to the Greek.

2010 Guide Analysis: "A spin-off from 2008's "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" featuring Russell Brand reprising his scene-stealing Aldous Snow character, the film also reunites director Nicholas Stoller and co-star Jonah Hill who actually plays a new character this time around. A bunch of musicians are also set to cameo including Pink, Christina Aguilera, P. Diddy and Katy Perry.
Despite the various controversies that have plagued him, Brand's appeal is arguably stronger than ever and has successfully crossed the Atlantic in a way a lot of other UK actors and comedians have failed to achieve. Thus a re-teaming with the Apatow camp comes as no surprise, but there's always a danger in moving strong supporting characters to the fore and watering down their appeal, Johnny Depp's role in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" sequels for instance.
Some confusion has also emerged over the title which has varied between "Get Him to the Greek" and "Get Me to the Gig" with the later looking certain to be the international title as barely anyone outside the US has heard of LA's Greek theatre. 'Greek' may still be used States-side though."

When I got promoted, they had to split my work up between three union workers. It's the unproductive union workers that are getting the free ride. My work ethics got me into management and my pay tripled within a few years. The union negotiated pay and benefits were crap compared to what I was able to negotiate on my own when I was no longer in the same classification as union workers and no longer limited to union contract terms.
You posted once whether reducing working hours is a solid economical strategy. It has been noted by economists that the German model of reducing payment and working hours a bit during recessions (sharing the burden) has also helped them to recover quickly in periods of growth, since the working force didn't lose their abilities and intelligent workers weren't laid off.
It is diametrically opposed to the US model, and I don't think anybody really knows what really works.

This Harvard Medical School case study is available free to registered educators. To see the case, add it to your library.
This case reviews the policy changes in tobacco control in post-apartheid South Africa from 1994 to 1996 under the leadership of Minister of Health Dr. Nkosazana Zuma. After providing contextual information on South Africa, including historical, demographic, social, and health information, the case delves into the history of tobacco and of global tobacco control efforts. The case then details the history of tobacco in South Africa, including data collection, epidemiology, early control efforts, and the policy efforts of the mid-1990s. The case describes the African National Congress (ANC)'s policy victories under Zuma's leadership. Knowing that tobacco disproportionately affected certain racial and minority groups, Zuma made tobacco control a top priority. With the support of the President, local tobacco experts, and anti-tobacco advocates, Zuma worked hard to break previous connections between the government and the tobacco industry and to reduce smoking. The case ends in 1996 when smoking prevalence had declined to 32% from 34% in 1995, but South Africa still had one of the highest levels in the developing world. As the ANC was preparing to enact the new Constitution that reinforced health promotion, Zuma had to determine what her next move would be for tobacco control and how she would prioritize it with the other health needs of the country.
learning objective:
To understand the political and economic forces that impact tobacco control legislation in a country undergoing an epidemiological shift, the role of research and data, and the value of health communication, chronic disease prevention, and advocacy in health care delivery.
subjects covered:
Global health; Government policy; Health care delivery; Health care policy; Leadership; Medical research; Partnerships; Politics; Social equality; Strategy

NEW YORK -- The NHL's lawsuit against its players was assigned to a relatively new federal judge who is a longtime New York Yankees fan and a former federal prosecutor.
The sides didn't talk Sunday, the 92nd day of a lockout that is threatening to wipe out an entire NHL season for the second time in nine years. NHL players started voting on whether to have their union give up collective bargaining rights, a "disclaimer of interest" that could be a precursor to an antitrust suit.
The league argued in a 43-page suit Friday in federal court in Manhattan that the union's actions were a bargaining manoeuvr and asked that the lockout be declared legal. The case was assigned to U.S. District Judge Paul A. Engelmayer, who joined the bench in July 2011.
The 51-year-old is a graduate of Horace Mann School, Harvard College and Harvard Law School.
He spent a year between college and graduate school as a reporter for The Wall Street Journal. After clerking for Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall, he had two stints in the U.S. Attorney's office in Manhattan, rising to chief of the major crimes unit. He also worked in the Solicitor General's office in Washington, D.C.
One of his more prominent cases occurred in 1999, when he led the prosecution of Lawrence X. Cusack III, convicted on 13 counts on mail and wire fraud stemming from the sale of forged documents claiming President John F. Kennedy paid hush money to keep secret an affair with Marilyn Monroe. Cusack was sentenced to 10 years, 3 months in prison and ordered to pay $7 million restitution.
Two years earlier, Engelmayer prosecuted a Los Angeles woman, Autumn Jackson, who was convicted of conspiracy and crossing state lines to commit a crime for threatening to tell tabloids she was Bill Cosby's out-of-wedlock child unless he paid her $40 million. Jackson was sentenced to 26 months in prison. Cosby denied he was Jackson's father but admitted having an affair with her mother and providing more than $100,000 in financial support.
Engelmayer worked from 2000-11 with the New York law firm now known as WilmerHale before he was nominated for the bench by President Barack Obama and confirmed by the Senate.
In his most notable decision thus far, Engelmayer ruled a provocative ad that equates Muslim radicals with savages is protected speech under the First Amendment. New York's Metropolitan Transportation Authority initially refused to run the ad, saying it was "demeaning."

Back in my old gig, working over at Mordor for Sauron, I used to work with an importer called William-Harrison, and one of their little gems was a sparkling wine producer from Burgundy called Bailly-Lapierre. We used to sell a decent amount of them over there, but William-Harrison kinda disappeared and the ability to reload on the Bailly-Lapierre so I assumed it gone.
Fast-forward to a few weeks ago, and my GM here at the Party Source gave me a bottle of the Bailly- Lapierre Chardonnay Cremant de Bourgogne 2002, a real blast from the past so-to-speak.
Bailly-Lapierre reportedly had become the house sparkler at nearly every major Champagne house, the wine stacked in the back that staff and support would imbibe whenever they were thirsty. I could understand why. This tiny producer was something of a cult-wine in-the-making, as far as I was concerned.
The Chardonnay 2002 still showed some life to it, possessing a lot of that yeasty, toasty swagger I remembered. It still had a stone-fruited mousse and still showed nice acidity. All-in-all, it was a splendid trip down memory lane. Grade=Outstanding.

There are concerns if Lubbock County will have enough employees to staff the soon to open new jail. Currently the application process is underway at the sheriff's department. However, if more than 140 new employees are not hired the county could continue to pay millions of dollars to house inmates elsewhere.
Some of the more than 220 Lubbock County Jail Deputes book inmates into the current Lubbock County Jail. However, come spring the new jail is planned to open and the number of jail deputes must increase.
"It is the last summer before and currently with the plan we're moving on we've got a lot of staff to find in a relativity short period of time. So there are some concerns there," Chief Deputy Kelly Rowe said.
The challenge is 142 positions. Those include jail deputes and clerical staff. Rowe says they must have one supervisor for every 48 inmates. To recruit possible employees to work at the new jail the sheriff's office launched a campaign last spring. Signs went up and a website was created. An effort Rowe says appears to be working.
"We're confident that we're not going to have a staffing problem just based on the number of applications but if that happens and we do end up short in some positions then we'll have to look at who we move and who we move first," Rowe said.
Today the plan is to transition the more than 250 inmates currently housed outside Lubbock County into the new jail.
"We need the personal to open the facility to bring the out of county prisoners back in. The $3.5 million we're spending a year, it's going to be our toughest budget year because of the opening," Sheriff David Gutierrez said.
It is a tough year because; more than 140 new positions are estimated to cost more than $5 million dollars. Sheriff Gutierrez says that cost to tax payers will be spread out over a three-year budget period. "Once we can get past this hurdle we can level out and hopefully get back to normalcy," Sheriff Gutierrez said.
However, if the sheriff's department does not have enough qualified people to fill the positions, Rowe says the out of county inmate may not be the first to enter the new jail. A problem Rowe tells us he hopes to avoid.
"We do have a lot of lead time to get these folks through the hiring process and hopefully on the job where we're not having too many concerns like, I said, come about spring of next year," Rowe said.
The first academy for new jail detention officers starts the beginning of September. Click here to lock up a career at the new Lubbock County Jail.

Costa Verde is the green coast which runs between Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. Edged by the tropical Atlantic Ocean with its beautiful beaches, the inland area is covered in thick green rainforest. It is the perfect area to combine with a stay in the city of Rio. Explore this remote and breathtaking area by car, stopping from time to time to explore the picturesque villages along the way, particularly during local feast days.
The Costa Verde is ideal for road trips along the highway which runs between the two main cities. Discover the area's wildlife and exotic birds or explore some of the small communities scattered along this scenic area. The offshore islands can be reached by boat trips where sunbathing, swimming and fishing can be enjoyed. Shipwrecks, coral reefs and seas teeming with colourful fish provide excellent opportunities for diving and snorkeling. Take a trip in a glass-bottomed boat, go surfing on the waves or enjoy water skiing in the sheltered bays. Lively music and nightlife can be found in most towns and Jurubaiba and Pria do Dentista have floating bars which cater to boat passengers and revelers floating in the water. Dance the samba in the clubs or bar-hop in Leblon.
The city of Ubatuba has a beach to suit most visitors. Some cater for families, others are popular with yachts at anchor, or with surfers, fishermen or shoppers. For nature lovers, the Serra da Bocaina National Park covers a massive 25,000 acres and rivals the Amazon jungle with its biodiversity. Birdwatchers may hear the rare macuco bird on a trip to the magnificent Iguazu Falls, not to be confused with the much larger Iguassu Falls on the Argentinean border. A trip to Rio de Janeiro will allow visitors from Costa Verde holiday rentals to enjoy all the contrasting sights of the area. Rio's best known attractions include the views from the top of Sugarloaf Mountain and the Statue of Christ the Redeemer on Corcovado Mountain. The nearby Ilha Grande is easy to reach by boat and its graceful mountains are covered with forests. Continue down to Paraty and get a glimpse of the area's colonial past with its historic buildings and the sounds of the bossa nova playing in the bars.
Holiday rentals in Costa Verde enjoy around 300 days of sunshine per year. The area around Rio de Janeiro has warm temperatures from December to April when it reaches 29°C (84°F). From June to October which is Brazil's dry season, temperatures average a pleasant 24°C (75°F).
Holiday rentals in the Costa Verde are easily reached by air to the Rio de Janeiro-Galeao International (GIG) Airport which lies about 10km from the centre of the city. There are regular buses to the city centre and taxis are available. The best way to avoid being overcharged is to buy a prepaid taxi voucher from the State of Tourism desk. Those staying on the Costa Verde may want to pick up a hire car from the airport to complete the journey.

Bobby Capri - Tunnel Vision
Artist: Bobby Capri
Featuring: Sean Price
Producer: J-Mac
Album: #InstantGratification
Avg Rating: 3.8 ( 5 votes )
According to all-knowing source Wikipedia, Tunnel Vision is the loss of peripheral vision resulting in a small, circular field of vision, which makes it impossible to see anything but where you are immediately looking; it is also the name of the latest single from newcomer Bobby Capri. The VA native, however, might want to rename the Sean Price assisted single to "Tunnel Sound," because his raw, street-certified style is so dope, it will make it impossible to listen to anything else. Backed by a boisterous, snare-crashing beat by producer J-Mac, The Amazing Doc-Ock and The Magnificent Minds Academy, Capri and Price command the mic with their differing yet similarly aggressive, pull-no-punches styles that should leave listeners bruised and bloodied by song's end. Capri's #Instant Gratification EP is set for release this April, but for those who need actual instant gratification, sit tight because a video for Tunnel Vision is coming even soon.

Riechedly Bazoer (16), Defender, Ajax Amsterdam (Holland)
A part of our football guide to amazing wonderkids; Top 10 Young Football Talents of 2013.
Player information:
Date of birth: 12 October 1996 (16)
Place of birth: Utrecht
Club: Ajax Amsterdam
Nation: Holland
National level: Holland Under-17
Position: Central Defender
Preferred Foot: Right
Height / Weight: 185cm, N/A
Holland is also one of the top producers of Football talents with the famous Ajax academy as the main supplier. This time we want to introduce you to a young starlet partially developed at PSV, and with the potential to become one of the best Dutch defenders of International football.
Riechedly Bazoer is a young starlet born in 1996 in Utrecht, the birthplace of Wesley Sneijder.
His youth career startet at USV Elinkwijk, a team known for producing top star talents such as Marco van Basten and Ismail Aisatti.
At the age of ten Riechedly Bazoer joined the PSV youth academy. At the PSV academy he moved up the ranks very quickly and played under the leadership of Philip Cocu for a period. He got international experience at PSV by featuring in the NextGen series, a youth tournament with the same model as UEFA Champions League.
Riechedly Bazoer is an ambitious youngster and decided at the end of 2012 to enhance his career and join Ajax Amsterdam, where he was promised full backing and chance to earn a regular first team spot.
Riechedly Bazoer has made this comment of why he left PSV for Ajax Amsterdam; "I have chosen Ajax because here I think I can be a better footballer. I was very impressed with the sportive plan. Beside that it is very positive how they see the future with me. I'm very grateful to all the trainers and guiders at PSV for everything they have done for me. I have learned a lot and made many friends. But I think Ajax is currently the best club for me to make my dreams come true. PSV will always have a special place in my heart. But now I have chosen for my development".
Contrary to the previous players in this article, Riechedly Bazoer has not been handed any professional appearance for the first team of Ajax yet. But it is important to remember that he has only been at Ajax since 20 November 2012. He is tied to Ajax Amsterdam until 2016.
Riechedly Bazoer have also experience from international football, as he has featured in the Holland Under-17 squad, where he has recorded 8 caps only in the last year. Bazoer debuted for the Holland Under-17 national team in March 2012 and featured as the Holland captain in five matches in the UEFA European Championship 2012, where Holland won the final match 5-4 on penalties against Germany, a team full of promising youngsters such as Timo Werner, Julian Brandt, Max Meyer and Leon Goretzka. Bazoer played the whole match and put in a good performance.
Riechedly Bazoer could also be one of the stars and profiles for the coming Under-17 tournaments in 2013 (World Cup and UEFA European Championship).
Riechedly Bazoer is a versatile and cultured central defender, but can also play as a defensive midfielder.
He is a player with good technique and dribbling, in additional to good leadership. Despite his young age he is an intelligent player with great physic and quickness. His playing style could be compared to Thiago Silva.
The future of this young wonderkid looks bright, as he is targeted by Manchester City, Chelsea, Arsenal, Newcastle, in additional to unknown Italian and Spanish clubs. We firmly believe 2013 could become the year of his professional breakthrough and succeed in both national and international football.

Found February 10, 2013 on Baseball Professor:
PLAYERS: Pablo Sandoval, Vladimir Guerrero, AJ Pierzynski, Aramis Ramirez, David Freese, Matt Wieters, Buster Posey, Angel Pagan, Marco Scutaro
TEAMS: San Francisco Giants, Toronto Blue Jays, Texas Rangers, Milwaukee Brewers, St. Louis Cardinals, Baltimore Orioles
TEAMS: San Francisco Giants, Toronto Blue Jays, Texas Rangers, Milwaukee Brewers, St. Louis Cardinals, Baltimore Orioles
Pablo Sandoval has missed significant time in each of the last two seasons, and in the year before that he was underwhelming to say the least. His 2009 campaign, his first year as a full-time starter, was easily his best as Sandoval put up top-50 numbers, and now all fantasy owners really want is a modicum of stability. I've always thought of Sandoval as a switch-hitting version of Vladimir Guerrero. In his prime Guerrero had more speed and more power than Sandoval does, but they have very similar approaches at the plate. Since 2009, Sandoval has swung at 42.2% of pitches outside the strike zone. Data that's available for Guerrero says he offered at 43.7% of pitches outside the zone. The league average nowadays is between 28-29%. Over that same span, Sandoval has made contact with 77.9% of these swings versus Guerrero's rate of 72.4%. The league average is between 63-64%. In fact, since 2009 only A.J. Pierzynski and Sandoval have swung at 40%+ of the pitches they see outside the str...

Hi 'Fresh-Inker Friends"
This is Steve Shapiro...But in Mexico I'm known as: Professor Payaso "Professor Clown". Some of you might remember my story in August about my journeys to Cabo Mexico AS a clown....going to orphanages, hospitals, daycare centers, schools, and helping to build the first kitchens and library in very poor communities there.
I'm excited to announce that I NOW take folks like YOURSELF with me to EXPERIENCE these places....AND discover WHO you are as a giving person!
My next trip is planned for: February 26th-March 4th, 2011....and I would LOVE to bring you along! Check out what I call: "Travel With A Purpose' on my new website: www.thetravelconnection.info I've kept the cost VERY inexpensive and I guarantee it will change your life!
But back to my story....Last time I wrote about meeting a wonderful lady Marea and her three daughters who lived in one of the poorest neighborhoods of Cabo. She and her family lived in a ONE dirt room cinderblock and cardboard structure with NO running water or electricity. Marea was trying desparately to provide for her daughters, taking odd jobs where she could. Her heart's desire, though, was to open up a little 'Mini-Mart' at her house. Early last summer, sadly, Marea was given notice that her 'landlord' was RAISING the rent! She was devasted! Folks in the church I'm familiar with in Cabo learned of her situation and scoured the neighborhoods for a possible new location. They happened to land upon a 'NEW' house for Marea, and her family, complete with TWO rooms, cement floor, AND most importantly had running water and electricity! Amazingly, the rent was a bit CHEAPER!
So... in August while I was in Cabo we all helped Marea move to her NEW 'upgraded' house. We also furnished it with lamps, sofa, and other household accessories. This house was on a corner and seemed to be an ideal location for operating the little store that Marea had dreamed of starting.
I hadn't heard an update on Marea until this week. Since August, several wonderful things fell into place. Apparently, an individual who had met Marea was hosting a leadership conference in one of the local middle-class highschools in town. He presented Marea's story and told how wonderful it was to help int he community. The high-schoolers at this conference were so touched, by the story, that they said to their principal; "We want to help Marea and her business!" Much work still needed to be done painting the outside of her house, originally a dingy gray, windows needed repair, and shelves for products needed to be installed. The high-schoolers got to work .In addition Marea received a small donation from one of the 'clowns' that was in the group I hosted last April. And lastly, because of her dilience, Marea was able to get a small loan from a local bank to buy supplies for her new store she named: "El Mercado Cuatro Angelitos" (4-Angels Market) after herself and three daughters who are thrilled to help out in this new business venture!
As of this week, Marea now is the proprieter of a canary yellow corner market with white-wood trimmed windows, stocked with products, Marea,I was told had sold out of several popular items such as popcycles and shoes!
I cant wait to see her in February. Why don't YOU come and meet Marea and her family? Travel With A Purpose is SET for Saturday, February 26th-March 4th. 2011. Because of the connections I've made, discounts have been offered on everything from hotel, to food! Come experience giving and caring in Mexico....The only thing I require is a desire to serve AND at times wear a red nose and funny hat!
Go To: www.thetravelconnection.info or give me a call: 495-3400. "Clowningly", Steve Shapiro

Private Health Insurance:
Small Employers Continue to Face Challenges in Providing Coverage
GAO-02-8: Published: Oct 31, 2001. Publicly Released: Dec 3, 2001.
Additional Materials:

Many small employers--those with 50 or fewer workers--do not offer health benefits to their employees. This is particularly true for employers with fewer than 10 workers. The families of workers employed by small employers are about twice as likely to be uninsured as households with a worker at a large employer. Despite efforts by Congress and the states to help small employers buy coverage, many small employers continue to cite cost as a major obstacle to providing coverage. Small and large employers purchasing health insurance generally had comparable premiums in 1998, but this comparison does not fully reflect the challenges facing small employers in providing health insurance for their employees. Although the premiums were similar, the health plans offered by small employers were slightly less generous on average--they had slightly higher average cost-sharing requirements for their employees and were somewhat less likely to offer some benefits, excluding, for example, mental health services and chiropractic care. Also, insurers' costs to administer employer-based health insurance and protect against potentially large health care costs result in a larger share of small employers' premium dollars being spent on these nonbenefit expenses. Nearly all states have passed laws that limit the ability of insurers to vary premiums charged to small employers on the basis of the group's risk factors, including health. Other state efforts to make insurance more affordable for small employers have had limited results. Few small employers appear interested in lower-cost benefit packages that require significantly higher cost sharing by individuals or that scale back benefits that are covered.

On the Welfare Cost of Economic Fluctuations in Developing Countries
AbstractMacroeconomic fluctuations are much stronger in developing countries than in the United States. Yet, while a large literature debates the welfare cost of economic fluctuations in the United States, it remains an open question how large that cost is in developing countries. Using several models, we provide such a measure. We find that the welfare cost of consumption volatility per se is far from trivial and averages a substantial multiple of the corresponding U.S. estimate. Moreover, in many poor countries, the welfare gain from eliminating volatility may in fact exceed the welfare gain from an additional percentage point of growth forever.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I thought these were beautiful and very cost effective. I should have looked at the measurements, because they were a little smaller than I was expecting, but overall I'm very happy!"
"I wanted to send 'save the date' postcards and I was thrilled with all the options weddingpaperdivas.com had to offer. We chose the "Tea for Two" postcard because it offered several different color choices for the roses around the photo, one of which was yellow (my fiancee and I had a lovely picture of the two of us surround by yellow roses.) There were so many font options to chose from so we were able to design one that was just our style. Our friends and family absolutely loved it!"
"This postcard was absolutely perfect! We had a tree in our picture so the heart with the initials on it matched up perfectly with the tree. It was great quality and everyone who said they'd gotten one talked about how cute it was and how much they loved it!!"
"My Finace and I love the postcard we chose it match our wedding colors perfectly and designing it was simple and easy. The order was received well before the expected arrival date."
"I loved the design of these save the dates. I am a huge fan of black and white photos and this template was a great pick for some of my engagement photos. I tried it with full color and didn't feel it looked as nice. The post cards were smaller than I expected; however, I neglected to read the dimensions prior to purchasing. Overall great product and I received them faster than anticipated. I will definitely order from WPD again!"

|Sweater - Forever 21, Skirt - J Crew, Tank - H&M
Lately I have been really loving the varsity school sweaters. I have always loved the look and when I saw this cardigan at F21, I had to have it. It's a very casual sweater but it's also 'work appropriate' for me because it's more on the simple side. My boyfriend loves this sweater, so I'm secretly trying to find him one, but obviously a men's version. I wore this navy blue/grey sweater with my black J Crew pencil skirt, and my navy blue tank. I chose to keep it unbuttoned, because it's more of a looser sweater. This would be perfect with pretty much any outfit. I also love it with destroyed skinny jeans and a pair of riding boots and a collared shirt underneath. You will definitely be seeing a lot of this piece through the colder months.
I also have some great news... I finally got my camera up and working, so goodbye iphone pics and hello pretty photos after today!

New York Sen. Chuck Schumer announced Tuesday he'd support Chuck Hagel's nomination for defense secretary, removing a major obstacle to his nomination and greatly increasing the chances he'll be confirmed, even as Hagel continues to face opposition from the right.
Schumer's backing is a major sign that Democrats who have expressed squeamishness over his nomination are starting to come on board. And with Democrats now holding a 55-45 majority in the Senate, Hagel's prospects greatly brightened with Schumer's support.
(PHOTOS: Obama's second-term Cabinet)
In a statement Tuesday, Schumer said Hagel addressed his concerns over Israel and Iran during a 90-minute Monday meeting at the White House, saying the former Nebraska senator had been "forthcoming and sincere." Regarding Iran, Schumer said Hagel rejected a containment strategy regarding the country and said the U.S. would do "whatever it takes" to stop Iran from developing nuclear weapons.
Planning military contingencies against Iran would be Hagel's "top priority" as defense secretary, Schumer said.
(PHOTOS: Chuck Hagel's career)
Moreover, Hagel told Schumer that he backs unilateral sanctions against Iran. On Hezbollah, Hagel pointed to past comments he made in which he referred to it as a terrorist group. And despite previously caling for direct talks with leaders of Hamas, Hagel said he now believes there should be "no negotiations with Hamas, Hezbollah or any other terrorist group until they renounce violence and recognize Israel's right to exist."
"Based on several key assurances provided by Sen. Hagel, I am currently prepared to vote for his confirmation," Schumer said. "I encourage my Senate colleagues who have shared my previous concerns to also support him."
Schumer's support may mean a major tipping point for Hagel's nomination, given his clout within the Senate Democratic Caucus and his deep ties to pro-Israel hawks on and off the Hill. And they're an important sign that Democrats who have expressed concerns over his nomination are starting to come on board, as Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) did Monday night.
(PHOTOS: What they're saying about Hagel)
Most notably, Democrats have raised concerns that Hagel has been too quick to call for direct engagement with Iran, Hamas and Hezbollah rather than push tougher measures preferred by pro-Israel members of the Senate Democratic Caucus. But Hagel appears to have alleviated those fears ahead of his crucial confirmation hearings before the Senate Armed Services Committee in the coming weeks.
Underlining the importance of Schumer's support, the New York Democrat was the first to meet face-to-face with Hagel -- an unusual move for a Cabinet nominee to immediately meet with a senator who does not serve on the committee of jurisdiction. The two met for 90 minutes Monday morning in the West Wing of the White House, where Schumer also met with President Barack Obama. The senator told the president he needed assurances from Hagel over his positions on Israel and Iran before he could support the nominee, a Senate aide said. Schumer telephoned Hagel on Tuesday morning to tell him he'd support his nomination.
"I know some will question whether Sen. Hagel's assurances are merely attempts to quiet critics as he seeks confirmation to this critical post," Schumer said. "But I don't think so. Sen. Hagel realizes the situation in the Middle East has changed, with Israel in a dramatically more endangered position than it was even five years ago. His views are genuine and reflect this new reality."
The White House and Hagel both clearly recognize that wooing Jewish Democrats -- like Schumer and Boxer -- are a top priority before the former Nebraska GOP senator's confirmation hearings.
Hagel sent a letter Monday to Boxer, also outlining a more hawkish stance toward Hezbollah and Iran. Hagel apologized for previously using the term "Jewish lobby," calling it a "very poor choice of words." And Boxer -- who does not serve on the Armed Services Committee -- announced her support of Hagel, a sign of growing support on the left.
In his meeting with Schumer, Hagel said he "always supported Israel's right to retaliate militarily in the face of terrorist attacks by Hezbollah or Hamas," the senator said.
Schumer said Hagel gave him several assurances that U.S.-Israeli cooperation would continue if he's confirmed, saying that the former Nebraska GOP senator would push for delivering F-35 joint strikers to Israel. Hagel reportedly said he'd urge the president to decline joining in any NATO exercises if Turkey insists on excluding Israel.
Still, such assurances alone are not enough to stop opposition among Republicans, who believe Hagel espouses a doveish worldview. Among other things, they are quick to criticize his furious opposition to the troop surge in Iraq, which they call a success, and they say his words do little to correct a 12-year Senate record that didn't fully advocate Israeli interests.
On the left, some have raised concerns over Hagel's support of gay rights -- especially after 1998 comments about a Bill Clinton diplomat whom he called an "openly aggressively gay." Hagel later apologized for this remark.
In his letter to Boxer and comments to Schumer, Hagel said he supports the full repeal of the "don't ask, don't tell" law that prohibits the service of openly gay service members. He also said he would fully implement a policy ensuring military women who are victims of rape and incest have full access to abortion services.
"In general, I believe any president deserves latitude in selecting his own advisers," Schumer said. "While the Senate confirmation process must be allowed to run its course, it is my hope that Sen. Hagel's thorough explanations will remove any lingering controversy regarding his nomination."

IRVING, Texas – The value of Sunday's victory won't mean much to
The Cowboys have yet to string together consecutive victories this season, and with four straight opponents with losing records on the horizon, Witten said Sunday's psychological lift will only mean something if it spawns more wins the next few weeks.
"Winning cures a lot of things," Witten said. "Having said that though, you go lose the following week, it kind of minimizes this win. So yeah that was a big win, yeah that can push us momentum wise and make a big push. To see that we have some fight after two tough losses to come back to get a win on the road, that shows a lot about our football team. But you've got to use that as momentum going forward and keep stacking those wins up."
Dallas scored more points from its special teams and defense in the fourth quarter than the offense scored all game.
After a 13-play drive in the first quarter, in which the Cowboys ran eight times and traveled 80 yards to answer the Eagles' opening score, the offense didn't score another touchdown until the clock ran out in the third quarter on a 30-yard touchdown pass to
"We still can do a better job in the red zone and hopefully put up more points," Witten said. "Your defense is keeping you in all the games really. No different this week."
The big play from Bryant turned out to be just enough offensive output, as the Cowboys' special teams and defense guided the team the rest of the way. Witten said that early drive from the offense to answer the Eagles' first touchdown showed "some big maturity," and it's soothing to know the defense is capable of putting the game away if the offense can limit its mistakes.
But Witten knows the offense needs to produce more points to get a winning streak going.
"I thought Tony was phenomenal, the play he hit Miles (Austin) on to kind of keep that drive alive, and then of course that big play to Dez," Witten said. "We still can do a better job. We need to score more than 17 points as an offense. We know that. Really in the second half, your opportunities got really shortened because of the execution in the punt return and of course the pick six. But you need those kinds of breaks."

Lesson: Waves and Wave PropertiesContributed by: Research Experience for Teachers (RET) Program, Center of Advancement of Engineering Fibers and Films, Clemson University
Educational Standards :
Learning Objectives (Return to Contents)
After this lesson, students should be able to:
Introduction/Motivation (Return to Contents)
(In advance, make copies of the All About Waves—Notes Outline and Anatomy of a Wave Worksheet, one each per student, and have graph paper available for students. Also [optional], prepare to show students the attached 16-slide Waves and Wave Properties Presentation to accompany the lesson introduction. The slides are "animated" so you can click to show the next item when ready.)
Returning to our three-color mystery, today we are going to develop an understanding of the fundamental concepts of waves. What we learn will move us one step closer to reaching our goal of creating a solution to our engineering challenge that I explained yesterday (lesson 1 of this unit).
Let's start with what we already know. Why are we able to see? (Because there is light.) What is light? (It is a wave.) So, what is a wave? Well, we will learn the answer to that question today!
I will pass out an outline that will help you keep track of the important concepts explained as we talk about waves and wave properties.
(At this point, hand out the notes outlines and present the lecture material provided in the Background section, in tandem with the slides.)
(Next, so students can apply what they just learned, divide the class into groups of two students each, and hand out copies of the worksheets and blank graph paper.)
Who has ever sunburned your skin? Who has used a microwave to make popcorn? Or had an x-ray taken? Or listened to the radio? What do these activities have in common? (Listen to student answers.) All of these require waves.
One difference between the waves that pop popcorn and the waves that tan your skin is wave frequency. As we have learned, the frequency of a wave is defined as the number of cycles that pass a single point in a given amount of time.
In the first part of the worksheet, label the parts of a wave using the definitions given. Then, draw four different waves given information about the waves' properties. Of these four waves, your challenge is to identify the ones with the highest and lowest frequencies.
Lesson Background & Concepts for Teachers (Return to Contents)
Legacy Cycle Information: This lesson falls into the research and revise phase of the legacy cycle. During this phase, students begin to learn the basic concepts required to design solutions to the engineering challenge presented in lesson 1 of this unit. After lesson 2, students should be able to revise their initial thoughts, forming new ones that will help solve the engineering challenge question.
Waves and Wave Properties
(The following lecture material aligns with the slides.)
A wave is a disturbance that carries energy from one place to another. Matter is NOT carried with the wave! A wave can move through matter (called a "medium"), but some waves do not need a medium to be able to move. If a wave needs a medium, we call it a mechanical wave. If a wave can travel without a medium, (for example, through space), we call it an electromagnetic wave.
Wave Types
Wave properties depend on what (type of energy) makes the wave. For example, you splashing in the ocean or an earthquakes creating a tsunami. Descriptive wave properties include:
Changing Wave Direction
Vocabulary/Definitions (Return to Contents)
Lesson Closure (Return to Contents)
Now that you're all experts in understanding the different types of waves, how they move and change direction, and how to describe their characteristics, tell me, what are some of the ways that you see waves used in your everyday lives? (Listen to student ideas.) Those are great examples. What about microwave ovens, medical and dental x-ray machines, eyeglasses and speakers? These are common examples in which engineers apply their knowledge of waves to design all types of useful products and tools that are evident in our everyday lives. To design these products, engineers must be well versed in all the properties of waves and how waves can differ from one another. For example, the waves emitted from a microwave are very different than those emitted from an x-ray machine that creates images of bones or teeth. Engineers need a complete understanding of wave properties in order to design safe and effective products!
But that's not all—engineers work to protect people and predict how tsunamis will travel after an earthquake in the ocean by using wave properties. To successfully predict where a tsunami will travel, engineers must understand how waves move and the properties associated with waves.
Another example of engineers using wave properties is when electrical engineers separate different types of waves so that the radio you are using tunes in to the right station, or your cell phone only picks up the calls that you want. If it were not for these engineers, you would constantly be getting calls from people you did not know. To accomplish this they must have a clear understanding of wave properties and know how to separate different types of waves.
Before designing and creating a solution to a challenge, engineers conduct research and gather information, just like you did today. This step is a crucial part of the engineering design process.
Attachments (Return to Contents)
Assessment (Return to Contents)
Note Taking: During the lecture, have students complete the All About Waves—Notes Outline and refer to it for visuals that supplement the lecture material. Then, with the notes turned over on their desks, ask students various questions that were covered in the lecture material. Evaluate students' answers to gauge their mastery of the subject.
Worksheet: After the lecture, have students complete the Anatomy of a Wave Worksheet to see how well they apply what they learned.
Trade-n-Test: To conclude, have each student make up his/her own wave properties (that is, trough and crest height and wavelength) and write it down. Then have students trade the "invented properties" papers with other students and draw the new waves based on the given properties.

Fun with brain games
Years ago, a colleague of mine showed me a study about how cognitive ability can start slipping as early as age 50. "I guess that means we only have a limited time left in the money management business," he teased. That study has always haunted me - it's depressing, the idea that my cognitive abilities would begin to fade at about the same time as my tennis game.
