Congress is wrangling over how to spend federal gas taxes, with the Senate wanting to spend about $15 billion per year more than revenues while the House modestly wants to spend only about $10 billion per year more than revenues. But according to the Congressional Budget Office, the money they have to argue about will soon dramatically decline.
Obama's fuel economy rules, the CBO says, will reduce per-mile fuel consumption faster than the increase in driving. As a result, by 2040 total gas tax revenues will decline by more than 20 percent. That means less money for highways, transit, bike paths, and whatever else Congress wants to spend the so-called Highway Trust Fund on.
The House and Senate conference committee will begin meeting on May 8 to iron out the differences between the bill that passed the Senate and the one that passed the House Transportation Committee but not the full House. Republican members on the House side include Mica (FL), Duncan (TN), Young (AK), Hanna (NY), Shuster (PA), Capito (WV), Crawford (AR), Beutler (WA), Cravaack (MN), Ribble (WI), Buschon (IN), Southerland (FL), Lankford (OK), Camp (MI), Tiberi (OH), Hastings (WA), Bishop (UT), Upton (MI), Whitfield (KY), and Hall (TX). Several of them, including Mica, Shuster, and Young, are known to be fond of pork barrel.
Democrats include Rahall (WV), DeFazio (OR), Nadler (NY), Boswell (IA), Brown (FL), Johnson (TX), Cummings (MD), Bishop (NY), Costello (IL), Norton (DC), Blumenauer (OR), Markey (MA), and Waxman (CA). DeFazio and Blumenauer, at least, are hard-core smart-growth advocates. Many Senate conferees are as well. So the Antiplanner doesn't have much hope that the committee will produce a fiscally conservative bill.
I've long maintained that the real problem with transportation is too much money, most of it poorly spent. The only thing that may save America's transportation systems is running out of money.

German Hulk breaks boundaries by being huge but not terrifying.
YAAAA! I am zo happy! I vant to tear my wrapping off like ze Christmas presents!
Even within the lifetime of this young sports-humor blogger, there was a period where you could only watch a German act like this if he destroyed your video game character on the boss level. Yes, (half of them) were our allies for decades in the Cold War, and all of them are in NAto, and we have put all of that...stuff...behind us, but we were definitely not cool with them making sudden movements for a long time. But I guess history is over, because I haven't been so excited to see a huge German flex since Arnold Schwarzenegger bent over backwards trying to convince us Austrians were something different.

Calcium-Dependent Synaptic Vesicle Trafficking Underlies Indefatigable Release at the Hair Cell Afferent Fiber Synapse Neuron, Volume 70, Issue 2, 28 April 2011, Pages 326-338 Michael E. Schnee, Joseph Santos-Sacchi, Manuel Castellano-Muñoz, Jee-Hyun Kong and Anthony J. Ricci Summary Sensory hair cell ribbon synapses respond to graded stimulation in a linear, indefatigable manner, requiring that vesicle trafficking to synapses be rapid and nonrate-limiting. Real-time monitoring of vesicle fusion identified two release components. The first was saturable with both release rate and magnitude varying linearly with Ca2+, however the magnitude was too small to account for sustained afferent firing rates. A second superlinear release component required recruitment, in a Ca2+-dependent manner, of vesicles not in the immediate vicinity of the synapse. The superlinear component had a constant rate with its onset varying with Ca2+ load. High-speed Ca2+ imaging revealed a nonlinear increase in internal Ca2+ correlating with the superlinear capacitance change, implicating release of stored Ca2+ in driving vesicle recruitment. These data, supported by a mass action model, suggest sustained release at hair cell afferent fiber synapse is dictated by Ca2+-dependent vesicle recruitment from a reserve pool.

Arithmetic of Subthreshold Synaptic Summation in a Model CA1 Pyramidal Cell Neuron, Volume 37, Issue 6, 27 March 2003, Pages 977-987 Panayiota Poirazi, Terrence Brannon and Bartlett W. Mel Summary The rules of synaptic integration in pyramidal cells remain obscure, in part due to conflicting interpretations of existing experimental data. To clarify issues, we developed a CA1 pyramidal cell model calibrated with a broad spectrum of in vitro data. Using simultaneous dendritic and somatic recordings and combining results for two different response measures (peak versus mean EPSP), two different stimulus formats (single shock versus 50 Hz trains), and two different spatial integration conditions (within versus between-branch summation), we found that the cell's subthreshold responses to paired inputs are best described as a sum of nonlinear subunit responses, where the subunits correspond to different dendritic branches. In addition to suggesting a new type of experiment and providing testable predictions, our model shows how conclusions regarding synaptic arithmetic can be influenced by an array of seemingly innocuous experimental design choices.

Water Alignment, Dipolar Interactions, and Multiple Proton Occupancy during Water-Wire Proton Transport Biophysical Journal, Volume 86, Issue 5, 1 May 2004, Pages 2827-2836 Tom Chou Abstract A discrete multistate kinetic model for water-wire proton transport is constructed and analyzed using Monte Carlo simulations. In the model, each water molecule can be in one of three states: oxygen lone-pairs pointing leftward, pointing rightward, or protonated (H3O+). Specific rules for transitions among these states are defined as protons hop across successive water oxygens. Our model also includes water-channel interactions that preferentially align the water dipoles, nearest-neighbor dipolar coupling interactions, and Coulombic repulsion. Extensive Monte Carlo simulations were performed and the observed qualitative physical behaviors discussed. We find the parameters that allow the model to exhibit superlinear and sublinear current-voltage relationships, and show why alignment fields, whether generated by interactions with the pore interior or by membrane potentials, always decrease the proton current. The simulations also reveal a "lubrication" mechanism that suppresses water dipole interactions when the channel is multiply occupied by protons. This effect can account for an observed sublinear-to-superlinear transition in the current-voltage relationship. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (235 kb) |

Research Article
G. Eisenman, R. Latorre and C. Miller
Open-channel ion permeation properties were investigated for Ca++-activated K+ (CaK) channels in solutions of K+ and its analogues T1+, Rb+, and NH4+. Single CaK channels were inserted into planar lipid bilayers composed of neutral phospholipids, and open-channel current-voltage (I-V) relations were measured in symmetrical and asymmetrical solutions of each of these individual ions. For all concentrations studied, the zero-voltage conductance falls in the sequence K+ greater than T1+ greater than NH4+ greater than Rb+. The shape of the I-V curve in symmetrical solutions of a single permeant ion is non-ohmic and is species-dependent. The I-V shape is sublinear for K+ and T1+ and superlinear for Rb+ and NH4+. As judged by reversal potentials under bi-ionic conditions with K+ on one side of the bilayer and the test cation on the other, the permeability sequence is T1+ greater than K+ greater than Rb+ greater than NH4+ at 300 mM, which differs from the conductance sequence. Symmetrical mixtures of K+ or NH4+ with Rb+ show a striking anomalous mole fraction behavior, i.e., a minimum in single-channel conductance when the composition of a two-ion mixture is varied at constant total ion concentration. This result is incompatible with present models that consider the CaK channel a single-ion pore. In total, the results show that the CaK channel finely discriminates among K+-like ions, exhibiting different energy profiles among these species, and that several such ions can reside simultaneously within the conduction pathway.

FDA and Y2K
Yes, here we are in year 2000. Its well-known acronym "Y2K" has been the subject of increasing conversation over the past year. It has not arrived! It is here! It has also beocme synonymous with the "Millennium Bug." Insofar as our personal care industry is concerned, what are its implications? How does it affect factors such as our operations and product lines? Are there compliance issues?

HYDERABAD: Expressing its continued interest in setting up a car project in Andhra Pradesh, Volkswagen has announced that Vashishta Wahan — the firm allegedly behind siphoning off Rs 11 crore by Helmuth Schuster and his associates Jagdish A Raja — will no longer be the front company.
Volkswagen-AG CEO Bernd Pischetsrieder told a German radio that the scam had set back the car project by a few months. He said: "I wrote to the AP chief minister assuring him of our interest in the project. That's why we engaged Frank Elbe as our adviser."Commenting on Elbe's close links with Wolfgang Kubicki, a senior liberal politician and lawyer, Pischetsrieder said Kubicki is the attorney of Klaus-Joachim Gebauer, a former Volkswagen manager who together with Schuster is an accused in the scam.

Amy Bower Doucette writes about the equestrian communities for Neighborhood Post. Send mail to 2751 S. Dixie High
Young riders dream of having a career like Margie Goldstein Engle's.
The 53-year-old Wellington rider has won countless awards, including Olympic medals, over 190 grand prix wins and the recent $50,000 FEI World Cup Grand Prix in Wellington Dec. 4. Her accomplishments are even more extraordinary considering her modest upbringing.
Engle grew up in Miami, the daughter of a school teacher and an accountant. She followed her childhood best friend to a riding lesson and ended up getting hooked. Her parents supported her as much back then as they do now.
"I always liked horses and animals and sports," Engle said. "Neither of my parents were really involved with the horses at all.
"When I was young, I worked at the dog and cat kennel in exchange for lessons. That's where I got all the relevant work in the stable, grooming the horses and cleaning the stalls for extra lessons. I had two older brothers in college, and this is an expensive sport. My parents could only afford one lesson a week. I would do whatever I could to earn extra money for extra lessons."
Engle refused to let the cost of riding stop her from pursuing her passion.
"When I was growing up," she said, "everyone told me I wasn't going to make it, because I didn't have the financial backing. With this sport, you really need to have money behind you.
"Where there's a will, there's a way. If you're willing to work hard enough and you don't mind mucking a stall or cleaning a cat kennel - whatever you have to do to earn the extra money and people see when you want to work hard at something, you can achieve almost anything."
Engle's parents still live in her childhood home in Miami. They attend as many horse shows as they can. Engle's mother Mona Pastroff Goldstein, wrote a book about her daughter titled No Hurdle Too High: The Story of Show Jumper Margie Goldstein Engle.
Her mother immersed herself in Engle's jumping world in the process of writing the book. She may not ever sit on top of a horse or fly over rails like her daughter, but Engle's mother supports her.
Engle has been severely injured several times during her career, including having every bone in one of her feet crushed and numerous broken bones.
It's difficult for a parent to watch their child compete in such a dangerous sport.
"I give her a lot of credit," Engle said of her mother. "She learned a lot about the sport. She never rode herself, but she studied it. It frightens her to some degree. She's just happy if I don't get hurt."
Engle credits her family for keeping her grounded in spite of the countless championships she has accrued during her career.
"My parents have always been a great inspiration to me, even though they didn't ride," Engle said. "They taught me to have integrity no matter what I do, and to try to do things correctly and never forget who I am and where I came from. That's important."

Want to send brand messages direct to next year's students?
Contact over 100,000 year 12-13 students who signed up for the UCAS Card. We call these students pre-applicants and we can help you use the PAD (pre-applicant database) to reach the exact range of students you're interested in.
Nearly 70% of these pre-applicants go on to apply for uni or college. Our research shows they're considering their higher education options earlier and earlier, so showing them your brand at this early stage could inspire brand loyalty throughout their higher education experience.
We'll provide you with email or direct mail campaigns based on your requirements. Emails are quick and direct with immediate results, and direct mailings are novel to this age group, with the added benefit of potentially reaching parents as well.
The best bit is students opt-in themselves to receive third party communications, and according to our email stats they'll be twice as likely to engage with messaging we send. Then for segmentation, pre-applicant campaigns can be filtered by a range of demographics including location, subject and age, so you'll be able to target your ideal student audience.
Key benefits

Waves believes that parents and primary caregivers are naturally a child's first and most important teachers. We also recognize that very young children often learn best in the environment in which they are most comfortable. We know that learning occurs through play-based activities and within daily routines. We understand that each child, no matter how young, has their own learning differences and that it is important for parents, caregivers, and other professionals to understand those differences and use them to maximize development and learning.
For more information on your child's development, please visit www.birthtozero.org

Eliot Spitzer's Comeback Attempt Fails
He gave Scott Stringer reason to sweat it out, but Eliot Spitzer will not be New York City's next comptroller.
The former governor, who had attempted to revive his political career with a run for a little-known office, conceded tonight in a hastily-delivered speech in Harlem.
"I've called Scott Stringer and congratulated him on a victory tonight, and wish him well as we go forward in his position as comptroller, I presume, and expect him to win this November," he said in a speech that lasted less than four minutes from start to finish–including a pause in the middle for cheers and chants of "Spitzer, Spitzer, Spitzer!"

Daydreaming Oceanside
September 28th, 2011
Daydreaming or day-tripping? Always a dreamer, or so I've been accuse of. Gorgeous pictures to get lost in and have a little dream yourself! Of late I've often thought of a seaside cottage where I can write, blog and tweet. Three of my favorite things. The dress in the first picture is what I would wear while sipping cappuccino endlessly in a hammock while reading a juicy book to get lost in.
Happy Wednesday Luvs….
P.S. A super fun announcement coming up on my blog in the next couple of days, can't wait to share! Let's just say it's includes shiney sparkly things and a giveaway… a BIG giveaway!

Newton Kidd Isn't Kidding |
Written by Robert Ecksel | |||
Wednesday, 29 June 2005 19:00 | |||
Once the boxing bug bites, there's not much anyone can do. Its symptoms may come and go, there will be good days followed by bad, but there's no tonic, salve, potion, tablet, capsule, pill or poison that will make it go away. Consult all the experts you want – the internists and externists, the headshrinkers and witchdoctors, every sweaty faith healer twitching in a tent – but if you've got boxing in your blood, you live with it, you die with it, you make peace with it. Perhaps that helps explain Newton Kidd. He is a 30-year-old cruiserweight with a 5-3-1 (3 KOs) record. He lives and fights out of the Bronx. His nickname is The Butcher. Boxing is his game.

How can Baking Powder be KLP?
While I am no Kosher expert and I don't keep a Kosher kitchen . . . . .
My understanding of the "unleavened" issue goes back to the biblical story of the Jews leaving Egypt without having time for the bread to rise . . . . if you are reading this you probably know the rest of the story.
It is my understanding that the reason you can use a "leavener" like baking soda is because the story and tradition is specific to yeast (thus the whole "no time for the bread to rise" part of the story). Since baking soda requires "no time" to work, it isn't in contradiction to this story.
Any Rabbis on Chowhound to confirm or deny?
re: thimes
Gotta love wikipedia. Who knew. . . . .
Chametz (חמץ, "leavening") is something that is both made from one of five types of grains, and has been combined with water and left to stand raw for longer than eighteen minutes.
. . . yeast and fermentation are not themselves forbidden as seen for example by wine, which is required, rather than merely permitted.
The specific definition of chametz varies among religious and ethno-cultural traditions. In Ashkenazic and certain Sephardic applications of Jewish Law, chametz does not include baking soda, baking powder or like products. Although these are leavening agents, they leaven by chemical reaction whereas the prohibition against chametz is understood to apply only to fermentation. Thus, bagels, waffles and pancakes made with baking soda and matzo meal are considered permissible, while bagels made with sourdough and pancakes and waffles made with yeast are prohibited.
Karaite Jews and many non-Ashkenazic Jewish traditions do not observe a distinction between chemical leavening and leavening by fermentation.
re: thimes
It's quite simple: the English word "leavened" and the Hebrew word "chametz" are not synonyms. Chametz need not contain any leavening agent; it can rise by attracting yeast from the air. The only useful definition of chametz is "grain of the five kinds that has come into contact with water, and been left alone for 18 minutes".
Why not? If it doesn't contain any grain products, then it's kosher for pesach. Baking powder usually contains bicarbonate of soda which is made from rocks, an acid such as tartaric acid which is made from wine, or something similar, and a starch. If that starch is made from potatoes then there's no grain product in the powder, and no reason not to use it on pesach.
re: zsero
I had been contemplating this before pesach. Most of the brands that are fine for the rest of the year use cornstarch. Which is fine for some of us, but sadly not my in-laws. I haven't done much with potato starch but my feeling is that potato starch has a slightly different alkalinity (as well as texture) from corn starch. A small change in pH could reduce the effectiveness of "KLP" baking powder. I wish I'd realized this before I volunteered to make a dish involving a lot of caramelized onions since baking powder cuts the cooking time by about a third.
I just discovered this a couple of years ago, and I am absolutely baffled. There was a column on Passover baking in the Times by Joan Nathan where she said that baking powder and baking soda were always K for P, and my jaw just dropped--then why are my muffins like little rocks? And can I just add a tsp of baking powder to my passover muffins? (I just haven't gotten around to trying it.)
re: sciencediet
It always has been. See my explanation above. And Koshergastronome is perfectly correct. Except that he may not have tried the Passover brands. Unless they have been improved, they don't couble act, they hardly act at all. Not unusual for Passover brands. I have found baking soda to work better. Although, as he says, it does not double act.
Because it is not yeast. Yeast creates chametz, Sodium bicarbonate, eggwhites do not, although can both make a cake light. Only yeast "levens".
I usually bur plain Sodium bicarbonate (paking soda, like Arm & Hammer). Baking powder is merely baking soda diluted with some neutral substance to make it easier to measure. I have found that teh Pesach brands are (like a lot of Pesach brands) inferior products. I gave up on them years ago. You just baking soda in a smaller quantity where it says baking powder.
re: AdinaA
Baking powder isn't "merely baking soda diluted with neutral substances to make it easier to measure"...baking soda is like you said sodium bicarbonate which is a basic (as in acid vs base) material, and as such when combine with an acid will produce Carbon Dioxide, which is what leavens (yes, baking soda, and baking powder are considered "leaveners") whatever it is you're baking...however the down side of baking soda is that the second it hits an acid it produces the carbon dioxide, baking powder is baking soda with added ingredients to delay the release of carbon dioxide...basically at a certain temperature it will activate the baking soda in it (some are "double acting" because they work at two different times) so the burst of carbon dioxide happens in the oven, once the batter is semi set, and can hold the Carbon dioxide and actually leaven whatever it is
As for why it's kosher for pesach, I have no idea, I'm assuming "no leavened bread" means yeast leavened, but don't know for sure
re: AdinaA
Yeast is not chametz. Yeast is a microorganism, and KLP yeast is available, e.g. for wine making. Chametz is the result of fermented grain. Se'or is sourdough, which is highly-fermented grain dough, that has a very high yeast content. But it's the dough that makes it chametz, not the yeast that it contains.

Introducing Atlantic Aftermath
Hey Josh. So you guys are still in high school, right?
Yeah, I go to Horizon, Mike [Hayes, voclas] goes to Saguaro and Eli [Fabrega, bass] and Jake [Fried, drums] go to Chaparral.
Why did you decide to start a band?
We started the band a little less than a year ago with the intention of making original music. We all love music and wanted to do something bigger than what we previously have done. It became more of a serious project as it progressed.
What's your sound like?
Were a pop punk band with some hardcore influences. We have incorporated the catchy pop punk vocals and bright feel and combined it with breakdowns and a couple of heavier elements.
What bands have influenced you?
I would have to say A Day to Remember, New Found Glory and The Wonder Years. It changes all of the time though cos we all listen to so many different genres.
What made you choose the name Atlantic Aftermath?
To be honest, I dont know. Somehow the name was brought up and it just stuck. However, we frequently make up stories for what it could possibly mean in case we are ever asked. They range from stories about the end of the world to stories related to after math class. Clearly, it gets out of hand!
You've got 6,000 fans on Facebook. How did that happen?
Myspace was our main promotional site for a long time and at one point it started becoming useless. Lets face it, MySpace is dead. Seeing as Facebook was responsible for the decline in teenagers grades, we thought this would be a good place to promote. We made it our goal to get 1000 fans. We were suggesting the page to friends and bugging other people to do the same. It grew faster than we expected and we are really thankful for that.
What was your first live show like?
Our first live show was interesting. It was at a place called Chasers that was in a part of town Id never been to. It looks like a stereotypical, sketchy biker bar straight out of a movie. We played with some really sick bands though. In retrospect, Im not sure if we did good or bad but it was a really fun show. We all got home and really wanted to play another one.
Have you ever had any bad live experiences?
A while back we played a show at a venue called Badlands. The actual venue is really cool but this place is about an hour away from our side of town. We were one of the first bands booked for the show so we didnt really know who we were playing with. It turns out that all of the other bands were these intense death metal bands. So there we were trying to appease the musical palette of a bunch of bearded metal heads. We were definitely out of place but we laughed about it later.
What band would you love to support on tour?
This is a difficult one because there are so many! Personally, I would really like to go on tour with The Wonder Years. They are a smaller band but they seem super chill and it would be a great tour. I would also love to open for A Day to Remember because they are the band that got me into this genre of music and that would definitely be a big tour.
What are your musical guilty pleasures?
For me, it would have to be Katy Perry. She is catchy. Dont judge! In fact, we may have possibly tried covering a song once Moving on . I know Mike is into some T Swift, Eli listens to some old school Irish punk, and Jake definitely has the Jonas Brothers on his iTunes.
As a band, what are your worst habits?
As you have probably already noticed, we tend to make jokes that only we find funny. Mike randomly eats paper and Jake is addicted to wearing girl socks.
Would you ever try out for a reality talent show like American Idol?
No, from what Ive heard you need to be talented for those.
What are your New Year's resolutions?
I havent really made any yet but this is a good reminder. It will probably be something about staying focused senior year and getting a lot done with the band and our album release.
Where do you hang out in your spare time?
We usually hang out at Jake or Elis house and engage in various shenanigans. Some other common hangout spots include Chipotle, PV Mall, Guitar Center, Desert Ridge, and the local rollerblading rink.
What's the best thing about living in Arizona? And the worst?
The best things are that this is home and you are forced to be creative to entertain yourself. The worst thing is the summer weather.

only closed to traffic in the 1980's when a modern span was built alongside. A fine little pub is handilly placed on the
east side, so the bridge now serves as a drinking platform

Hang tight!
"This cocktail has recently become popular again, but Ernest Hemingway loved them!" — Alycia
Watch video tips and tricks
2 leaves fresh mint
1 tablespoon simple syrup
2 cubes ice
1 1/4 fluid ounces rum
1 fluid ounce carbonated water
1 sprig fresh mint
This is a fabulous drink but the recipe forgot the lime. I squeezed the juice from half a lime and then just left the lime in the glass. I also used a little more carbonated water and simple syrup than the recipe called for. This is a very refreshing drink, similar to a limeade.
I was disapointed when the recipe left out how much lime to use and I love lime!
12 Ratings
An easy and delicious mojito, the brother of the mint julip. Much better as there is no confectioner's sugar in it (simple syrup is so easy to make without the confectioner sugar taste...yuck). A favorite with our guests!
I added the juice of 1/2 lime, doubled the carbonated water, mint, and simple syrup ... just for 1 serving. The rum was too strong in this recipe ... that's all I could taste. It's still not as good as Fridays ... which is the best if anyone has that recipe!
I infused the mint and some lime zest with the simple syrup. Very good results. I also added 1/4 lime to each drink.
we crushed the lime and mint together (Key West style) and it is very good.
Fantabulous recipe! I love mojitos. This was simple and easy, not to mention quite refreshing! Fresh mint as a garnish completes it! Cheers!
As others have said, lime is a must. Muddling some fresh fruit like blueberries along with the mint adds to the drink.

Babes rarely pass up a browse through a Marshall's Shoe Outlet if one happens to be in front of them. One happened to be in front of me yesterday. So I went in. I thought I would look for a comfortable pair of nude business heels. This is the pair I found here. That's about a 5 inch heel.
I felt vertigo coming on holding them. I tried to imagine myself wearing them, but my insurance policy doesn't cover tipping over and the only men I would look feminine around would be the New York Knicks. Pretty much all the nude shoes in the store had heels the same height.
Pretty much all the pretty dress shoes and sandals in the store had heels that were higher than Cheech and Chong. I was so annoyed.I tried on a few pairs to be a sport and discovered a new problem, unattractive bulging veins on my upper foot worthy of medical attention.
Super high heels no longer fit my lifestyle or my patience. (Babes loose their patience). Actually I don't remember heels ever being this high. I really think shoes are designed by 'heels' who are high. Give me a break.
I am hard on shoes but hey they've been hard on me. Years of traipsing around in high heels with pointy toes have hammered me- literally. The peek a boo toe shoes give away the evidence so I don't like peek-a-boos. Most of the high heel sandals are fun but most also look like they go with a gladiator outfit- same for the low sandals. The flats are pretty but do nothing for an outfit that deserves a heel.
I've decided on wedges this year. Luckily they are in, and actually a good choice.I remembered an article I read in The Wag (theWAGonline.com) quoting Steven Weinfeld M.D. associate professor of orthopedics and chief of foot and ankle service at The Mount Sinai Medical center in Manhattan saying he liked wedge shoes because they are less narrow than most high heels and the thicker sole provides protection to the foot. They are also less likely to transfer stress to one part of the foot or the other.
Dr. Weinfeld also said, in a perfect world the perfect shoe is a sneaker, which evenly distributes stress, protects your foot from impact and is roomy enough not to crowd your toes.
Dr. Weinfeld did NOT say, "Remember to take off the Marshals sticker on the bottom or when you cross your legs everyone will know you shop off price." That's my advice. Do you have any shoe advice?
Hormonally Yours,

'Why?' asks a small child when she looks to her mother holding up a small stump of an arm. Not understanding why. Her mother simply stares vacantly as she does not understand what has happened to her children. She has lost so many. She is a Lady in a village miles from what we know as familiar territory. 'Why?' asks a little girl of her father as she watches him yet again suffer through a spell that she does not understand. With small hands she reaches out to comfort him and does not understand. Her father does not really know. He has an idea but feels hopeless. Two victims among thousands upon thousands that are the remnants of war. War based on what? All we hear are the drums of war and watch as our strong and young stand up to be counted among those that feel it is their duty to stand with their country. To protect it in times of war. They have these gossamer dreams of glory and perhaps anger unfounded towards a people they do not even know. Duty, Honor, Valor, Strength, Patriot we hear. Pounding in our ears again and again until it becomes the silent diatribe of a people that do not know why only that it is a threat. They look upon their loved ones. They look upon their young wife carrying their baby and smile and say 'I have to, I will come home and it will be ok' She doubts but loves him enough to know that he feels he is doing the right thing. Across the ocean in an unknown country a father hears the drums of war and finds that he may help these foreigners to win against an unknown enemy. So he goes to help. He may be a translator, he may be a friend, his place is not determined yet.
The war rages and the pundits speak of these words again Duty, Honor, Valor, Strength, Patriot and we hear it but our belief begins to waver. What do we truly know? We hear of defeats. On the television, our god, we see boxes filled with the remains of the honorable dead. We mourn. The mothers cries can be heard through the hearts of any that hear it. She cries out 'WHY?' in an anguished wail. WHY? She only knows that he son is dead. Men walk up to a door and they knock with trepidation and when the door opens and he speaks..the bring of death sometimes he must catch those he speaks to. For they cannot stand anymore hearing news of a loved one dead. Their eyes fill with tears and they know only sadness. Some come home and they are broken men. They miss limbs and sanity. Their eyes are filled with ghosts of atrocities and a chemical unknown to them grows inside of them as they put their arms blankly around their loved ones. Sometimes they are whole and just haunted in their minds and they make love to their wives and girlfriends. Not knowing, not told, not warned of the time bomb of illnesses awaiting their progeny. In the small villages the men and women return home. Some broken like ours and their mothers hold them and weep for their injuries. Sometimes the wails wake you up in the morning as you see the bodies of their loved ones. But it is nothing compared to the wails to be heard at the birth of their children. This keening sadness and hands raised to the sky begging.. 'WHY ?!' They hang their heads and weep. Thank you Agent Orange. Thank you Monsanto. Thank you Pundits in a foreign land.
The pundits do little or nothing for the troops when they come home. Perhaps a photo op for the paper where the troops are abused. Because nobody understands. They know it is wrong. They know that it should not have happened. These men are broken and forgotten. But the next generation is simply forgotten..their children are born with afflictions sometimes seen. Sometimes not seen. The drums of war are colored orange and gleam to the heights of the trees whom they defoliated to show an enemy that was not there, not really. Yes this gleaming product in a can unmarked and used by unsuspecting troops and native people alike. Why? Why? WHY ! This is the question that forms in the minds.Upon the tongues of those now suffering they ask one question.. 'Why?' The answer oh it is nothing. Oh here take another pill. Oh wait no health insurance. Well then give me money. Give me money so I may not heal but will support the symptoms and never free you from this disease.. oh no wait it is all in your mind. Smile for the camera Mr President as he shakes your hand and calls you a hero. While inside you feel your whole world crumbling around you like dust sifting between your fingers as you know. The eyes of those children left behind linger in your mind and here you are a hero? Silently the chemical company stands behind in the shadows..smiling.
Why? Because they are inhumane and do not care. Why? Because of money. Why? Because they hope to silence the voices. I say that why are they allowed to profit off of the deaths of so many? I say why are they not being held accountable and being held up to standards of humanity? I say why do we not shine a light into the shadows where they like to hide? Why not show them the destruction they left in their wake grabbing for money money money money…all paper burning to ashes just like their empty words filling the mouths of those that still suffer the indignities of their pain every single day. Why? Because we are human beings. Why? Because we will stand up for what is right. Why? Because we are not invisible. Why? Because we will not be ignored.

Great idea for a football party, graduation party, any potluck get-together. I was assigned a hot side dish for a potluck work luncheon, served aside of hot dogs and other party appy's, and decided to try this out in the crockpot and it worked. It went over well; many people went back for seconds and came looking for the leftovers the next day.....it was the only dish that was gone! Very simple indeed, but it's one of those dishes that you hardly lift a finger yet it goes a long way. Would go great aside of hamburger BBQ, sausage sandwiches, bratwurst, hamburgers, etc or make as a main dish. Perfect if you don't have an oven or have limited oven space for your party cooking. I have figured on 16 servings/3 pierogies per person and prep time includes sautee of onion and butter.

Yeritsavank Monastery
From Armeniapedia.org
VI AD - Syunik Marz
This very ancient monastery (1,500 years old) is in rather good condition considering its age. The walls are actually extremely tall, and the ground level outside has risen over time to sink the church a bit. It is located near the top of a tall, steep mountain, with stone cliffs nearby that have some shallow caves seemingly good for camping. The views are great."East of the road, Artsvanik (466 v.) dates to the 6th c. 3 km NE is Yeritsavank, a 6th c. church and pilgrimage site named after Yeritsuk, a mid-6th c. bishop of Syunik."

Arizona Cardinals' Ray Horton channeling inner Dick Lebeau on tackling issues
The Arizona Cardinals defense, which is coming off a poor showing against the San Francisco 49ers, needs to step it up against a potent Green Bay Packers pass offense this Sunday at Lambeau Field.
The Packers have built a powerhouse offense around a pass-first philosophy and have assembled the second-best red zone attack in the league this season.
While the Cardinals defense has been the team's strength this season, their performance against the 49ers was troubling.
"On Monday Night Football, [the 49ers] biggest plays came on a three, a four and a six-yard pass. It's embarrassing and they know it and they'll respond," defensive coordinator Ray Horton said.
Horton doesn't believe changing the scheme will make a difference. He said the problem is much simpler and easy to fix. It's also an area he placed much more emphasis on in practice this week.
"Tackling. There is nothing wrong schematically. It's just we have to make a play that's presented in front of us," Horton said.
The Cardinals missed a total of six tackles against the Niners on Monday night, and while that's not a high number, two resulted in touchdowns.
Horton will take a page out of Dick Lebeau's playbook this week, the Hall of Famer and legendary defensive coordinator of the Steelers, who Horton learned his effective 3-4 blitz under at Cincinnati and Pittsburgh.
"At this level guys understand technique and what they're supposed to do," Horton explained. "But did we do extra tackling drills, yes we did. I was disappointed in how we performed tackling against the San Francisco 49ers or lack thereof tackling."
The Cardinals defense certainly has a pedigree of talented backs that have the ability to make key stops when called upon. They'll need to play like they did the first four games of the year when they were revered as one of the best units in the NFL if they hope to contain an aggressive Packers attack.

Van drivers most likely to break the rules of the road
Statistics show that van drivers pick up twice as many convictions as car drivers.
Van drivers are more than twice as likely as car drivers to receive a motoring conviction, according to research from AA Insurance.
The data showed that on average 15.5% of van drivers have endorsements on their driving licences compared to just 7.4% of car drivers.
Regional breakdown
The pattern is pretty consistent across the UK. Van drivers typically collect more convictions than car drivers wherever they are! Just take a look at the AA's regional breakdown of drivers who have broken the rules of the road in the past five years:
Van |
Car |
All convictions |
Conviction ratio |
Conviction ratio |
North east |
15.3% |
6.8% |
East midlands |
15.5% |

8.2% |
West midlands |
15.5% |
7.3% |
UK average |
15.5% |
7.4% |
Source: The AA
Van drivers in the south east tend to carry the most endorsements on their licences (17.4%) while those in the south west are the best behaved (14%).
Car drivers in the north west receive the most convictions and those in the north east receive the least.
But all in all car drivers have something to be smug about. It seems that the age-old van driver stereotype (suggesting those who drive vans are dangerous, inconsiderate road users) is somewhat supported by these figures. Especially if you look at the most common type of conviction picked up by these drivers.
CU80-mobile phone offences
The analysis showed that van drivers were six times more likely to have been caught using a hand-held mobile phone while driving.
The 'construction and use' offence is punishable by a fixed penalty notice under the code CU80, which means you pay a £60 fine and get three points on your licence.
CU80 will remain on a paper licence for four years before it can be removed but lives on for a further year after that for insurers. This means insurance premiums will be affected long after the offence is committed.
What's more, insurers tend to view CU80 as worse than speeding offences like SP30. Even though both offences carry the same penalty, insurers penalise mobile phone abuses more heavily.
According to Simon Douglas, director of AA Insurance, motorists can expect their insurance premiums to rise by 9.3% for a single speeding offence but by a hefty 18.5% if they have been convicted of using a mobile behind the wheel.
Douglas explains insurers' statistics suggest that using a mobile phone doubles the risk of being involved in an accident. He said: "You might accidentally drift over a speed limit [but] no-one accidentally uses a mobile phone or sends a text."
CU80 regional breakdown
Here is the table showing the percentages of mobile phone convictions van and car drivers, insured through the AA, received over the last five years.
Van |

Mobile phone convictions |

Source: The AA
Van drivers making journeys in the south west are the least likely to commit a mobile offence and the same is true of the car drivers in the area according to the figures from the table.
Greater London (3.2%) was pipped to the post by Scotland (3.4%) as the area a van driver is most likely to have been stopped by police and convicted of using their phone behind the wheel. But both figures dwarf the 0.5% of car drivers that were caught doing the same thing in each regions.
The large regional variation could be to do with the fact that there are a greater number of police in urban areas like London who are more likely to witness offenders.
Pinch of salt
In the AA's research an average of 2.4% of van drivers had picked up the CU80 compared to only 0.4% of car drivers.
Douglas believes the disparity is to do with the pressure van drivers are under to get between jobs and keep customers updated.
But it may be that van drivers are just the ones getting caught. According to an AA/Populus study, 42% of respondents admitted to using their mobile to make calls, text and tweet while driving.
So van drivers aren't the only ones guilty of breaking the rules. They do however make the list of the UK's most annoying motorists - read Britain's most annoying drivers to find out why.
What do you think?
Are van drivers really that bad? Let us know what you think in the comment boxes below.

in response to jsmooth_2001:
We don't have a single guard on the roster that is a consistent scorer/play maker yet you have the nerve to mention both James Harden and O.J. Mayo in trying to discredit me??LOL James Harden and O.J. Mayo are two of the top 5 guards in the West and they BOTH should be playing in the same back court FOR US!!! "With the 3rd pick in the 2009 NBA draft the Memphis Grizzlies select James Harden from Arizona State". See how easy that would have been??LOL Instead of having a combined salary of $24 million for conley and rudy(which is what their combined salary is for this year) we would have concentrated on keeping our dynamic back court of Harden/Mayo together and teaming them with the dynamic front court of Zbo/Marc. We would have let some other sucker team give Rudy a max contract and either conley would have accepted his role as our 6th man or he too would have walked. Our starting lineup would be Harden, Mayo, TA, Zbo, and Marc and we would have played in at least two finals by now.
You are a little too obsessed with OJ. I don't know why it is so hard for you to understand that we don't need OJ to win. We don't need another player that has to play starter minutes to be effective. What happens when Dirk comes back? What happens if the Mavs add another good scorer? So, you want to blame the Grizzlies because OJ needs to be on a team where he plays at least 40 minutes and takes the most shots on the team? We're in the top ten in 3 point percentage. We're only about 2 percentage points behind Dallas. How is it they have OJ, and they're only a little better than us. We don't have OJ, so I'm guess we should be at the bottom of the league. We're near the top of the league in free throw percentage. We're only about 5% behind the leader in FG percentage. We're doing just fine without OJ. We had an off night, but all we need from this team now is to shoot a little better. Are you crazy? Don't how much OJ's and Harden's salary would have grown had we kept both of them. It's easy to look at what they make now and say what would have happened, but we really don't know. Had OJ been more effective here, he probably would have asked for so much we couldn't afford him anyway. Harden is probably going to be asking for a lot of money on his next contract as well. Plus, neither of them is a PG. And you might want to check your stats, since you're always talking about stats. Rudy and Harden have very similar stats. Heck OJ and Conley have similar stats this season I don't know why you always try to act like one player is so great and one other player is so terrible. You're just a hater and can only give credit to players you like

Las Tiendas de Palmilla
Las Tiendas de Palmilla Review
Las Tiendas de Palmilla is across from the posh Palmilla Resort. There are a smattering of shops and galleries, a couple of restaurants, a coffee shop, a nice terrace with a peaceful fountain, and a view of the Palmilla development with the tranquil, turquoise Sea of Cortez beyond. Antigua de México is a branch of the famous Tlaquepaque store, and shoppers will discover distinctive furniture and bedding supplies, and many Mexican-flavor interior-decorating items. Pez Gordo Art Gallery is artist Dana Leib's second location, and offers her pieces, as well as those by other artists. You'll find beautifully designed silver tableware pieces from Taxco at Prestige Designs. Tiki Lounge is one of the Tommy Bahama "lifestyle" boutiques for men only, with silk and other natural-fiber clothing in relaxed styles. Stop in Casa Vieja for beautiful women's apparel by Mexican designers, including Pineda-Covalin—you'll find a wide range of styles in fibers such as cotton, silk, linen, and even cactus. If you need to fuel up during your time here, there's an outpost of popular Nick-San, and Mexican-fusion restaurant, Manuel's.

The Government Procurement Service (GPS), in partnership with the Department for Education (DfE), has launched the Information Management and Learning Services (IMLS) framework for use by schools, academies, consortia and local authorities (LAs). The framework allows the purchase of both Information Management Systems and Learning Platforms.
The framework addresses a number of key issues raised in the market and the media over the last couple of years, these include:
- Stopping the practice of suppliers charging academies twice for licences or charging up to £25,000 on transfer.
- Ensuring procurements are legally compliant, an issue identified by previous government-sponsored reports.
As well as having a number of other benefits:
- Provide better value for money, through competition.
- It has a quick reference pricing matrix, allowing easier benchmarking and/or budgeting.
- Provide establishments with a pre-approved list of suppliers.
- Encourage interoperability.
The framework was constructed to meet educational needs by engagement with a broad range of stakeholders, including schools, LAs, and Regional Broadband Consortia (RBCs).
A comprehensive set of advice and guidance documents will be available on the Department's procurement website.
GPS will provide their standard advice service on use of the framework with specialist help also available from the Department via a specific email address.
The framework went live on 23 March 2012.
A comprehensive set of advice and guidance documents are available and case studies will be made available as they are developed.
Further information
The Becta report School management information systems and value for money published September 2010 and available in the associated resources on this page, provides further information on the marketplace for school management information systems, products and services, and specifically the procurement practices in place.

Worth a visit especially for lunch and it is centrally located near all of the great art museums. Lunch is a good deal but dinner can be expensive.
While the appearance of the food was very good, it actually lacked much flavor. All three of us shared notes the following morning and learned that we had all spent much of the previous night sick in the bathroom.
Everyone enjoyed what they ordered. I had salmon teriyaki, which was excellent and someone else had chilean sea bass- which she said also was delicious. My husband had hot stone bibimpap- a Korean dish cooked in a stone pot, which he thought was fabulous and I tasted and would definitely order the next time (but don't put your plastic chop... More
A great little sushi place a block from the Philadelphia Free Library. I met a few friends here before an author event at the library.

Our experience here was outstanding! We brought our own wine, ordered in waves, talked all night and eventually closed the place down... and without one glare from any of the staff. Delightful service, comfortable upscale atmosphere without being stuffy, and the hamachi crudo is crazy delicious. I can't wait to go back to Philly just to eat here.
This small, highly functional restaurant on Callowhill serves really good Japanese and Korean food. Our group (we eat out a lot) really enjoyed our dinner. The service was attentive.They are BYOB and very reasonably priced
The fish is fresh, portions are good and the presentation creative. The atmosphere is nice, clean and modern. Service wasn't terrible, but a little inattentive and we had to flag someone down for drink refills and to ultimately get the check. All in all, a very good Philly option and one that I would recoomend/return to.
we've been to doma three times within the past couple of months. the decor is clean, contemporary, and quite pleasing. the sushi is creative, fresh, and absolutely delicious. it has been full virtually every time we've eaten there, even late sunday evening. we have not waited long for food during any visit, and i find the staff to be quite...
