Contemporary / Modern Three Light Down Lighting 22" Wide Bathroom Fixture from the Helsinki Collection
Light fixtures create a transformation!
This light fixture is an architectural transformer in a room like my small-ish bathroom. Besides being functional, it gives visual lineage and a sense of style. The customer service rep assisted in my choice - many thanks. The price was amazingly low compared to my local retail outlets and shipping was fast. The mirror made photography difficult.

Second in a Series
By all accounts, middle school is a challenging time. With so much changing in a student's life, emotions can be portrayed in unhealthy ways.
To combat this and in an effort to ensure a safe learning environment for students, all local middle schools will have an anti-bullying program in place in the coming school year.
Programs at Cleveland Middle School and Ocoee Middle School have been established for a few years. But, the Olweus anti-bullying program at Lake Forest Middle School will be implemented for the first time starting in August.
These programs focus on the importance of having a common definition of bullying and seek to have students, teachers and administrators using the same terms when refering to bullying behavior.
Understanding the
definition of bullying
"The Olweus program has been at Ocoee Middle School for several years, and we are in the process of planning the training ... for Lake Forest," said Bradley County Schools Olweus trainer Shannon Lillard at the end of last school year. "The biggest thing with any bullying program is making sure that everyone is on the same page as far as what the definition of bullying is, and Olweus does that."
The program is named after Dr. Dan Olweus, a longtime research professor of psychology from Norway.
In addition to focusing on a common definition for bullying, Ocoee Middle School's program gives students new common definitions for other words, including positive ones. The school has developed definitions for terms such as "strength," "normal" and "courage."
"What's the better definition of strength, that you hit somebody when you're mad at them or that you stay ... self-controlled and walk away so trouble doesn't happen?" said Paul Sausville, related arts teacher at Ocoee Middle School, said.
Cleveland Middle School defines bullying as "repeated and systematic harassment and attacks on others, perpetrated by individuals or groups."
Prevention in middle schools
Cleveland Middle School's program STAND for Change was implemented two years ago. It reminds students to "Sympathize for others, Tell an adult, Accept differences, Never misuse technology, and Do your part."
The program is unique to the school, but school counselor Luz Price said CMS is working on connecting it to the Olweus program. Teachers have been trained on Olweus, but it has not been fully implemented yet.
Colts Against Bullying is the Ocoee Middle School adaptation of the Olweus program.
Next year both programs want to focus on parental involvement in the processs.
"That parent component is something that Olweus really stresses," Sausville said.
Parent involvement at Ocoee would be a part of the Colts Agains Bullying committee which brainstorms ideas and discusses how to address issues. In the beginning, the committee had parents on it, but this past year there has not been parental participation.
Price said CMS was also "working on having leaders come in and speak to the lower grades and talk to them about empathy and first impressions, acceptance."
"Empathy and social skills are going to be the main traits for next year," Price said.
Lack of social skills is a key component to bullying behavior, according to Price.
"We're so school/academic focused that we don't teach ... kids is that if someone steps on your shoe all you say is, 'Hey, you stepped on my shoe,' and that's it not 'Hey, you stepped on my shoe and I'm going to beat you up,'" Price said.
Price said many times in middle school what might simply be considered playing around can suddenly be considered bullying by a student after an argument. This is why an emphasis is placed on students telling other students in a timely way how they feel about their actions.
Because the needs of students change frequently, the Olweus program uses student responses to surveys and "atmosphere evaluations" to monitor what is happening.
For Bradley County Schools, this information is processed by Lillard. Sausville said this data helps the school determine when and where bullying behavior is happening the most. The Olweus program is also data driven in that it has a pre- and post-survey component to measure perception of bullying.
Cleveland and Ocoee middle schools have used homeroom as a time to emphasize elements of the schools' programs. On CAB meeting days, homeroom is extended to allow the teachers to show video clips or have discussions related to bullying issues.
"The CAB meeting is supposed to be something that's consistent for us where kids can bring up issues, it's not always about bullying," Sausville said."As it kind of progressed we wanted to paint a broader picture for the kids … let's not just be about bullying but lets be for treating people well."
This is also reflected in the CAB assemblies held on each half-day of school.
In focusing on treating people well the program has also broadened to address how this concept can be applied to relationships outside of school.
The Cleveland Middle program also uses schoolwide assemblies as a way to focus on being a part of the solution to bullying behavior.
Price said it's about "Emphasizing ... standing up for people, not just being a bystander. Its more about empowering the bystander."
School Resource officers play a major role in stopping bullying in the Cleveland City Schools at the middle school and high school level. Neither Bradley County Schools nor Cleveland City Schools have anti-bullying programs at the high school level. Any issues are handled by school administration, according to policy set in place by the Board of Education and the state Department of Education, just as in any other public school.
What students can do
Students also have a part to play in addressing and preventing bullying behavior. All local schools emphasize telling a teacher about any bullying behavior.
"We are very careful about not telling people about who told [of a possible bullying incident]," Price said.
Price said it is important for students who feel they are being bullied to tell a teacher or an administrator right when it happens.
"'Snitch' is a word that comes up a lot. It's not being a snitch, a snitch tries to get someone in trouble," Sausville said. "If the intent of the bystander is to help, then you're not being a snitch."
Price said empathy is a huge part of bringing an end to bullying behavior.
Price said she has been able to have students who were having issues with each other sit in the same room and talk out their issues.
"When they understand that they both have rough backgrounds ... right away something changes and they see it differently," Price said. "It's about having kids understand that those people are in a rough situation, too."
This approach is used on a case-by-case basis. Price said when she gets to know the students, she knows which ones could benefit most from this approach.
Each of the public school systems emphasize to teachers and administrators the importance of taking complaints about bullying seriously.
Parents Jim and Rhonda Stouffer said they have seen this as they have had five students attend Lake Forest Middle School.
"I feel like they really do try to work with students and their parents," she said. " I feel like they really care about the kids."
One son was the tallest student in the school when he attended. One day a sixth-grader seemed lost near the older grades building. The older student asked the younger student if he knew where he was going, then gave him a pat on the back when the sixth-grade student said he did not need help.
"They obviously take bullying very seriously because they called (him) and some of the others up to the office to ask what (Stouffer) had done and what had really happened," Rhonda Stouffer said.
Rhonda Stouffer said she has always felt that her children were safe at the school.
Colts Against Bullying gives students creative opportunities to participate. Students are involved in writing material and creating videos for school assemblies.

Clubview residents plead for relief from vandals
By JAMIE PATTERSON
Herald Reporter
Three women are begging city leaders to do something about the juvenile problem in Clubview Apartments.
Linda Robinson, who appeared about a month ago, made her second plea to the Board of Mayor and Aldermen about juveniles on a rampage in the small apartment complex she lives in. She also brought two neighbors with her this time.
"We are overrun by young kids, and they are destructive," Robinson said. "We call the police department, but by the time they get there, the kids are gone."
Robinson said her neighbors can't even keep flowers in pots on her porch.
"They turn the pots upside down," Robinson said. "She replants them, and they do it again."

Ah those two kids, always laughing it up!
There's no denying Sophia was a beauty, but am I the only one to think there's a slight resemblance with this other famous actress?
Ah those two kids, always laughing it up!
There's no denying Sophia was a beauty, but am I the only one to think there's a slight resemblance with this other famous actress?
OMG Daisy's hot.
Don't let Donald hear you.
There's a cuckolding joke in there somewhere, I just know it...
I'm sure it would quack me up.
I cry fowl!
Nice of you to duck in.
These puns are disappointing, but I've decided to let it go like water off my back.
Well, these puns won't fit everyone's bill.
The best you're likely to find on the web.
She is one sexy mother ducker.
Sorry for being such a Scrooge earlier.
Like birds of a feather, you guys just got off two outstanding buckshots quack-to-quack.
Agree, Ryan... a great piece of tail.
I'd baste that any day of the week.
Incidentally, I am in awe of your triple pun. I thought my double pun would go un-bested, but I have much to learn it seems.
...a great piece of tail.
I'm down with that!
I'd baste that any day of the week.
I'm down with that!
Me too. I love me some dark meat!
And, of course...
Once you go quack, you never go back.
you guys just got off two outstanding buckshots quack-to-quack.
I like that. It's got a nice wing to it.
I'd expect that of a looney left-winger like you.
I'm not looney, I just thought I'd Peking to see if there were any more duck jokes.
Nary a duck joke in sight. They've migrated out of here.
Well, even if that is true everyone here displayed good con-duck throughout.
Well I guess we're done. Too bad. I don't know waddle do without duck puns.
Wow... that "Peking" pun just knocked me out of the pond. I ruffle in your presense, Greg.
Don't worry Greg, you'll be just fine without duck puns. Just always remember to beak yourself.
Wow... that "Peking" pun just knocked me out of the pond. I ruffle in your presense, Greg.
Thanks, I was ready to use it from the wet-go.
HT to Arbogast.
Well now I guess it really is over. Almost thirty minutes without a pun. Just as well anyway because I have to take my cat to the vet. Ironically enough, given the topic here, she swallowed a duck whole. Boy, let me tell you, that was one duck-filled-fatty-puss!
You guys are driving me bananas ...
quackers! quackers!
You guys are driving me quackers!!!
Oh, why can I never get it right?
Seems like I always run out of duck ...
Rick, not everyone can succeed at this. You have to learn to detect a pun wherever you can, like a Private Duck would.
Who doesn't like to eat duck?
Peter finishes us out with one we should have thought of at the start, especially with Fox and Arbo contributing.
Thank God Carlo's not alive to see this.
All joking aside, I'm kind of going steady with that second picture of Sophia in the black dress. And Carlo looks, understandably, as though he's trying to sit comfortably with what seems to be the granddad of all chubbies.
Third picture, sorry. What can I say, a lot of blood has left my head and traveled south.
Bill, you were supposed to wait for me to say "Duck, duck" and then tap you on the head.
Arbo, I noticed Carlo looks very happy in every pic. She's smiling in the first, nothing in the second, and a slight grin in the third. But Carlo? Huge smile every time. Of course, there's no real mystery as to why.

Major budgets
UN regular budget
The UN regular budget comprises all the expenditure made by the Secretariat-General at headquarters and in the field to implement the UN's action programmes (except for peacekeeping operations and international criminal courts). The budget is denominated in US dollars and adopted for a period of two years. However, it may be amended during this time to take account of the financial effects of General Assembly decisions. The UN budget has expanded considerably in recent years, as the number of special political missions and human rights activities increased along with this of reforms (management and control structures being enhanced, information systems strengthened, and agents better trained and indemnified). The two-year budget for 2010-2011 is $ 5,2 billion.
United Nations system-wide coherence: reform of operational activities
In November 2006, a high-level panel presented the Secretary-General with recommendations to enhance the coherence and efficiency of UN agencies, following the Millenium + 5 Declaration. The panel's recommendations were based on three pillars (environment, development and humanitarian assistance) and used a double approach (institutional architecture and funding). They came with a specific timetable which constitutes a coherent framework for reforming operational activities (funds, programmes, specialised institutions). Following this report, an intergovernmental discussion process began in the UNGA to examine in depth the panel's recommendations. In September 2008, the UNGA asked the Secretariat to present a draft for creating a new organisation in the field of gender equality and decided to continue discussing governance issues (changes in the role of ECOSOC, links with UN agencies) as well as the funding of operational activities. A series of proposals in these areas are currently being debated in this forum. At the same time, the panel's recommendations for better coordination of UN assistance on the ground, are being tried out in eight pilot schemes started in 2007 (Albania, Cape Verde, Mozambique, Pakistan, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uruguay and Vietnam). Initial results proved satisfactory. The purpose of this coordination is to prompt specialized agencies, funds and programmes to coordinate their action on the ground in compliance with a single country-specific programme.
UN budget 2010-2011
Internal oversight 1%
Overall policymaking, direction and coordination 15%
Political Affairs 24%
Cooperation for development 18%
International justice and law 2%
Safety and security 6%
Human rights and humanitarian affairs 6%
Public Information 4%
Administration 13%
The budget is funded by contributions from Member States. A scale of apportionment was adopted by the General Assembly (Article 17 of the UN Charter) and provides that each member state contributes "approximately according to the ability to pay" . This scale is revised every three years or so
In the scale in force for the period 2010-2012, the method of calculating each State's ability to pay is based on its share of global gross national products (in US dollars) over a reference period of four years and a half (average of the last three and six past years). Developing countries then benefit from adjustments (linked to low per capita income or external debt), , floor rates (0.001%) and ceiling rates (0.01% for the least developed countries and 22% for maximum contribution) which lower their actual contribution
Main contributors to the UN regular budget (% quota)
United States : 22.0%
Chine 3,19%
Japan 12,53%
Mexico 2.36%
Germany 8.02%
South Korea 2.26%
United Kingdom 6.6%
Netherlands 1.85%
France 6.12%
Australia 1.93%
Italy 4,99%
Switzerland 1.13%
Canada 3.2%
Russia 1.6%
Spain 3.18%
After these adjustments, France's quota amounts to 6.12% of the budget (5th contributor) and this of the European Union, to almost 40% of the global budget. France's contribution for 2010 was €90m (not including renovation of UN headquarters).
PKO budgets
Except for the longest-running operations (UNTSO in Palestine and UNMOGIP in Kashmir), whose expenses are covered by the UN regular budget, each peacekeeping operation (PKO) has its own budget, adopted in June for the financial year 1 July to 30 June. These budgets have rapidly expanded in the last ten years as the number and size of the operations increased. The PKO budget running from 1 July 2009 to 30 June 2010 thus amounted to $7.8 billion. Just like the regular budget, it is apportioned between Member States according to a scale designed to reflect their ability to pay As they bear a specific responsibility with regard to peace-keeping, permanent members of the Security Council pay a higher quota , which in turns enables developing countries to benefit from reductions (amounting to 20% to 90% of their regular budget quota). Under this system, France's contribution amounts to 7.56% of the PKO budget since January 1st 2010. It totalled €395,5m in 2009.
Funds and programmes
The total resources of UN funds and programmes are hard to assess because of the diversity and fragmentation of their activities. Plus, this amount strongly varies from one year to the next, depending on the scope of international crises needing to be solved. In 2008, UN's main funds (UNCTAD, UNDCP, UNICEF, UNDP, UNFPA, HCR, WFP, UNRWA and UN-HABITAT) had approximately $14 billion at their disposal
Unlike the regular budget and the PKO budgets, the funds and programmes are funded by voluntary contributions. France's contributions to the operating expenses and regular programmes of these funds and programmes amounted to €71,5m in 2009 less than 1% of UN voluntary funds. . 80% of these contributions helped finance four organisations:
United Nations Development Programme - UNDP (€26m)
Office of the High Commissioner for Refugees - OHCR (€14m)
UNICEF (€10m)
Programme for Palestinian refugees - UNRWA (€5m)
France will contribute €55,1m to UN funds and programmes in 2010 and will keep focusing on the same four organisations.

The Maroon ESTABLISHED 1923 VOL. 77 NO. 15 Loyola University New Orleans FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1999 Dining services committee deciding on new contract By CHRISTINA SCHAMBACH Contributing writer A change may be on the way. In the | summer of 1999 Loyola may welcome a | new food service provider to campus, j Surveys show the change would be a welcome one. Only 21 percent of resident students and 16 percent of commuter students say the current meal plans satisfy their needs, | according to a survey taken by food services in December. Four companies competing for the contract gave presentations to the Food Services Committee last week. Students, faculty and staff were I invited to attend, ask questions and evaluate information. Sodexho Marriott, Bon Appetit, Chartwells Dining and ARAMARK Corporation placed bids. Marriott merged its food service division with the French-based Sodexho in October. Even if Loyola contracts with Sodexho Marriott again, there will be changes in the dining program. Sodexho Marriott's proposal, given last Monday, would change many aspects of the current food service. Bon Appetit also presented a radically different approach, emphasizing good food and responsiveness to clients' wants and needs. For instance, Bon Appetit promised not to use frozen foods, to prepare the meals in front of students and to reevaluate its service at least once a semester. The other plans are less radical, but do change significant aspects of food Student dies in car wreck Heather Marie Guidry, a 20-yearold psychology sophomore, died last Thursday at Charity Hospital from injuries suffered in an automobile accident in Algiers, La. While driving east on Holiday Drive, she jumped a curb near General de Gaulle Avenue. The car struck a tree and hit a concrete pole. Guidry was born in Marrero, La., and had lived in Harvey, La., for the past six years. She graduated with honors from St. Mary's Dominican High School. She is survived by her father, Nolan J. Guidry, her mother, Roberta J. Bumgarner, her stepmother Cynthia Stander, her two sisters, Robin G. Poore and Elaine F. Guidry and her grandmothers, Doris Pitre and Hazel Guidry. Mass was held for her Monday at West s i d e Funeral Home. She was interred at Westlawn Cemetary. Heather's friends knew her as funloving and free-spirited. Dane Bono, communications junior, remembers Guidry as "laid back, easy-going and always happy." I I Student moonlights arranging motorcades for president's visits By AUTUMN CAFIERO Managing Editor President Bill Clinton introduced Jimmy Streett to Pope John Paul II in St. Louis last week. history sophomore, whose family is from St. Louis. "After about a half hour on the phone he started believing me." Streett works alongside the Secret Service, wearing a name tag with the words "White House Staff." He spent last week in St. Louis for President Bill Clinton's meeting with Pope John Paul 11. And during his stay, he carried three things in his pockets John Gerwitz thought his son Kurt was playing another practical joke. "[He calls and) says, '...You and some guy named Jimmy Streett are pulling a trick on me. He said something about us driving with the president in a motorcade. I'm not buying this,'" said Gerwitz, Spanish and at all times: a cell phone, a pager and his Loyola Express card. Streett, philosophy junior, has been helping coordinate presidential motorcades for the past year and a half. He is one of the youngest members of the White House advance team, made up of people who live all over the country. He traveled to St. Louis PHOTO COURTESY OF JIMMY STREETT Student government congress fires, rehires five reps By ELIZABETH STUART Life and Times Editor In an effort to preserve, protect and defend its constitution, the Student Government Association removed five of its congress members Jan. 26. They were reappointed at the same meeting. The five representatives were unconstitutionally appointed to office in October. "It was an honest mistake. It wasn't a deliberate, evil-intended one. However, it was made," Becky Dayries, psychology senior and SGA vice president, said. The mistake occurred during the appointment process. According to the SGA constitution, representative vacancies can be filled with twothirds approval of congress. There must be at least two applicants for a vacancy before congress can fill it. The five representatives appointed incorrectly are Klaire Frick, communications sophomore and arts and sciences representative; Jason Steinle, English junior and arts and sciences representative; Cara Huey, economics and finance junior and business representative; Joe Bellows, finance junior and business representative; and Robert Johnson, second-year law student and law representative. The applicants who opposed the original five were not named during the meeting. All five former representatives were unanimously re-approved for their positions. Steinle said he understood congress' actions. "It's unfortunate, but it's a necessary evil," he said. "It was something they had to do." Dayries said adhering to the constitution was vital. "The constitution of SGA is our guideline, it's SGA members meet to discuss club budgets last Tuesday. The court of review recently found five unconstitutional appointments from earlier meetings. The members improperly elected were removed and reinstalled in a meeting Jan. 26.

Do you want to ask for permission to share one of my pictures on your blog/website? As long as you link back to the original post here, share away! Thanks!
The "bah, humbug" three:
1) I rarely accept products/cookbooks for review.
2) I am not currently writing or publishing guest posts. Too lazy to write extra content on another blog and too possessive of my blog to let someone else write on it.
3) I am not currently sharing company news or promotions on my blog.
Bah, humbug!

hi, i LOVEE your website.
This is possible if you can post the meatless ball recipe? It would make my day. Thank youRepliesI can't believe I missed your comment! I'm sorry for the ridiculous delayed reply. Hmmm. Meatballs? The only meatball recipe I can think of that I've blogged about is actually this meatless meatloaf. This is the recipe that I use when I make meatless-balls, but instead of baking them I pan-fry them in a little bit of oil until they're crispy all around. If you see this, I hope that helps!

I absolutely LOVE your blog and recipes, and flair in the kitchen! ... so because of that decided to ask you not to use or recommend Canola oil in your recipes. A lot of people don't know this, but 90% of our food supply is inundated with GMO ingredients. Canola oil is one of those. It is cancerous, toxic, and possibly can alter your own DNA. It is not to be taken lightly and definitely not endorsed. There are other oils that can be used that carry no flavor like olive oil, sunflower, safflower, grape-seed are a few that come to mind. If you want more info, and I am assuming that if you are vegan you care about your health - watch "Genetic Roulette" - movie can be rented on Amazon, or found on ResponsibleTechnology dot com website. All the best - from another Food lover.

Lightning: Apple's new, smaller dock connector for iPhone 5 and iOS devices
During today's iPhone 5 event, Apple unveiled its new Lightning dock connector that will ship on the new iPhone 5. The company is switching its iOS devices from the familiar 30-pin dock connector, to the smaller 8-pin design. Nothing was said about the speed, but based on the name, we are assuming that the Lightning connector is compatible with USB 3.0 speeds. The connector is also reversible, making it easier to use. For those with accessories that rely on the 30-pin connector, Apple is also releasing an adapter to make the transition easier.
Be sure to check out our iPhone 5 event live coverage for more!

Looks like the silly season is alive & well.
Based on this article, it would seem that the best way to ensure a roaring economy, would be for everyone to quit their jobs and live on unemployment benefits.
The best thing about Zippy being reelected is the constant stream of comletely bizarre stuff like this from our government and our MSM: but I repeat myself.If Romeny was in the wings, UE, gas prices, homeless, grinding poverty, war, debt, the middle east, would all be front page news.As it is, we get pictures of rainbows and unicorns that passes for "news".Yup - and being unemployed makes you a better parent because you´re home with your kids....
Was this report written by Pelosi? Sounds like some of her gravity-defying logic.
And War is Peace.
Just give the unemployed the 300,000 jobs and we´ve helped solve two problems. (I should be jobs czar.)
Everyone, help the economy by quiting your job!
Run the numbers. That´s $100,000 per job created with those on unemployment doing nothing for their money and the new jobs being low wage and temporary. This is utter stupidity.
Is there anyone in the AP organization with a functioning brain?How about anyone with even a small amount of common sense?How about someone with the smallist amount of integrity?We already know that they have no credibility and just repeat the braindead liberal talking points but don´t they ever get embarrassed by the stupid ranting or are they too deep into the Kool-Aid?
Wait, what? So the pointy heads in DC think that paying people that are not working (thus paying no taxes), who then spend that (taxpayer) money on goods and services will create jobs?Wow.
how can the better educated, better informed, job creators, common sense, rational people allow our beautiful country to be taken from us by the ill informed, ignorant masses under the leadership of the head of evil? surely there is a way to stop all this rediculas nonsense while there is still time. Surely this can be stopped.
I´d guess that, according to this twisted logic, if all the "Makers" just said to hurl with it and laid down...we´d be BOOMING! Sad part is, there´s a large segment of the country that actually believes this BS. For this to be actually put out there for public consumption says a lot about where we´re headed...We are screwed folks...extremely screwed. Nobody can stop this insanity. Like alkys and drug addicts, we´re heading for rock bottom...and evidently that´s what it´s gonna take to start turning things around.FORWARD! OFF THE CLIFF!
Oh yes, the APee, in their alternate universe.
I´m thinking we now know how the average Roman felt when Caligula took over.
One plus one equals two and a half. Of course it helps pay the grocery bill, the hairdresser, the new lcd tv and best buy. Still its bottom feeding. Its charging a $1.50 to give out 90 cents in benefits. It only works short term.
What #16 says.It´s throwing a party on a credit card with no plan to pay it back, ever. It´s government by deadbeat.
Yes, #6, I love Big Brutha.
Who was it that wrote about the broken window theory: that a broken window creates jobs because the storekeeper has to pay to get a new window and pay to put it in. But, it doesn´t show how the storekeeper could have spent his money more profitably if he wasn´t putting in a new window. One of those things might be hiring a person with that money!! Honestly, these feed a person a small fish have small expectations and see rainbows in every little water sprinkler!
Re: Is there anyone in the AP organization with a functioning brain?# 10, the purpose of the AP article is to reinforce BO´s claims that Repubs are Scrooge. The AP´s brain is invested in operating a PR campaign for Obama. AP helped get this failure reelected, and it does not intend to stop after 11/6.
Direct from The Ministry of Truth so you know it´s doubleplusgood!!
This is like saying starvation creates muscle mass.Stand here on the green grass while I tell you it is blue.
I can dead lift 150 lbsI weigh 135 lbs.If I stand inside a bucket I should easily be able to pick myself up.Its the same logic, and just as false.
If it weren´t so depressing and irritating, I would be laughing uncontrollably at their stupidity and audacity.
My dog likes to chase his tail, sometimes he catches it and goes round and round...til he´s exhausted.Welcome to Obamanomics - chasing your tail.
Unemployment benefits aren´t enough for rent/mortgage, food and utilities. It might mean more landlords are getting the rent, but it doesn´t create jobs. Unemployed people don´t buy cars. In fact, many lease their belongings.
Hey Sam - I can´t believe you actually signed your name to this article - are you a real person?
Government jobs?
Well, they´ve already told us that hurricanes and other natural disasters are good for the economy because of all the rebuilding. Which proves, IMO, all the climate change hysterics need to shut up so we can grow the economy with severe weather.Note: I am not supporting anthropogenic climate change theory. It is a fanatical religion based on greed.
I wish I went to college so I could understand this logic....
APAlways Pimping
That would have been my second guess about the extensions.By the logic stated the government can raise employment by mailing everyone $10,000 for Christmas. (er, I meant the Holiday Season.)And give every kid $1000 at school.And with that higher income people would pay more income taxes and cut the deficit.
You get more of what you subsidize therefore: more unemployment benefits = more unemployment.Stopping unemployment benefits would probably increase employment by millions.
People should enhance the unemployment situation by running their credit cards to the max. Think of all the jobs created by capitalists trying to fill their demands.The unemployed, in particular, should do so because there is no tax consequence. And any tax paid on purchases would probably qualify as tax credits. More money in their pocket to spend.Everybody winds - except those of us who pay taxes. No big deal.
Correction: "Everybody wins..."
No,thank you. I would rather save the $30 billion and let them get their own jobs. A gubmint check is not a job. In fact, a gubmint job is not a job. It is a leech on the body politic, a parasite killing the host. Now why would Obama insist on tax cuts before spending cuts? Because no Democrat in history has carried through with spending cuts.
#36 Tax increases!!!
Whoever Hananel is has no clue about basic math and economics
I´m retired miltary and ineligible for unemployment pay. Can I get some of that money.
It creates jobs for government workers, perhaps. I can´t think of any benefit to the economy, however.
0 has already turned the BLS into a political tool--must have done the same thing with the CBO
The program sounds so darn good that it is hard to come up with an answer as to why itdoesn´t work. Oh, maybe just taking a look at Greece will do the trick. I believe that there are long term unemployed folks there getting Government benefits, but darn - that economy just ain´t sizzling the way the Democrats advocating the program here promise.
I am thinking that the U.S. should just set the clock back to the 13 Colonies and do are-start. It would make much more sense than what our Government stands for now.
All right, free money and Obama phones. Such a deal.
Hey lets all go on unemployment that should create millions of jobs for, hmmm well maybe not.
They´re right, it does create jobs in NeverWonder Land. And everyone rides plastic ponies to school. And all the people smile all the time. And I´ll be happy to see those nice young men in their clean white shirts. They´re coming to take me away. Ha Ha Hee Hee Ho Ho.
So now the Congressional Budget Office is becoming the font of Economic Sophistry. We are so screwed.
Pelosi Economics... Any articles published by the MSM over the next 4 years are written at the WH. There is no truth, analysis or investigative reporting anymore, from the MSM... just propaganda.Even the Socialist French leader said Obama is further left in how America is managed than he is.

About the Author: Daniel Garrett serves in the Office of Environmental Policy in the Bureau of Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific Affairs."Filthy water cannot be washed." -- African Proverb
And yet somehow, we must find a way to do so. Every 15 seconds, a child dies due to a water-related disease. And that is why they have come together this morning, the Presidents of Tajikistan, Liberia, and Senegal; the Prime Minister of the Netherlands, the Foreign Minister of Japan, the Former Prime Minister Republic of Korea, the Secretary of State for Development of the United Kingdom, the U.S. Under Secretary of State for Democracy and Global Affairs, the Administrator of U.S. Agency for International Development Administrator, the Executive Director of UNICEF, the UN Secretary-General, and several other important stakeholders.
They have come together because of the essential element, bar none, strategically placed on the tables in the bottles to their left, just above the knife and fork: water. This group of powerful people have gathered to raise awareness that water is a critical contributor to the realization of all of the Millennium Development Goals; as policymakers and opinion shapers they are trying to define what policy changes are needed and to find a way to best target aid resources, so that the goal is met. The goal is clear: fewer sick and dying children, and more smiling, thirst-quenched, water-cleansed faces.
Some, in fact, call access to water and sanitation the "orphan" MDG. Although there are specific water-related goals in the MDGs, water is special, in that it is, more than anything else, the common thread -- the connecting rivulet -- that runs as a necessity through all of the MDGs. Access to safe drinking water and sanitation is critical for human health, fundamental to gender equality and education, essential for economic growth and food security, and underlies peace and security in many regions throughout the world.
It is estimated that by 2025, nearly two-thirds of the world's population will be living under water-stressed conditions. Water scarcity and degraded water quality will increase disease, undermine economic growth, limit food production, and become an increasing threat to peace and security. We are seeing these effects today. Unsafe water and poor sanitation are now the single largest cause of illness worldwide. Nearly two million people, mostly children under five, die each year from preventable diarrheal diseases; droughts and floods now affect more people than all other natural disasters combined; and competition over water resources is an increasing source of tension and conflict in many regions of the world. Climate change will only exacerbate these challenges.
Moreover, water is essential to sustainable development. For every $1 invested in sanitation, $9 is returned in increased economic development. It is estimated that meeting the sanitation and drinking water targets by 2015 would have an annual economic benefit of $38 billion in developing countries. Yet recent analyses of investment flows show that aid and budget allocations in the sector are not well targeted. Only 42 percent of sector aid goes to low income countries, and only 16 percent is invested in "basic" systems that primarily serve the poor.
In recognition of the enormous water crisis the world is facing, the United States is actively partnering with other nations, international NGOs, multilateral development banks, international organizations, and the private sector to bring our collective resources to meet this challenge. By coordinating, targeting, and harmonizing all of our efforts we can greatly magnify our impact and reach those who are suffering most. Today's breakfast, "Addressing the Global Water Challenge: The Key to the MDGs" is the start of an ambitious effort to ensure that we can jointly meet the needs of the nine billion people who will populate the world just 40 years from now. The United States is ready and open to partnering with all others who share this goal.
"Drop by drop, it becomes a river." -- Afghan proverbMore from UNGA:Secretary Clinton's Travel to New York for the United Nations 65th General Assembly | U.S. Strategy for Meeting the Millennium Development Goals

What our Guests say
"My wife and I just stayed with you for the weekend, in Room 4, and we had the most perfect time.
It was my intention to complete your feedback form before we left, which I can still do if you would like me to, but I didn't get the chance and it would be wrong of me to let the moment pass without saying anything to you at all, so I will email instead.
We loved your hotel. Rarely has a hotel not only matched expectations on actual arrival but exceeded it to such a degree. Your Room 4 is quite stunning. The view was fantastic and the bathroom was, I believe, the best bathroom that we have ever stayed in – and we have stayed in quite a few!! The food, service and general feel of the hotel were all quite superb. We needed a weekend away from it all, just to switch off for a while, and we certainly got one."

Pull the initial crack to the first roof. Pull up on the positive holds, and move up the thin crack. Be alert for gear placements, which are sparse but available. A fall above this roof with bad/no gear could have serious consequences on the slab below. The second roof is the surprise of the route, discard your expectations before you get there. Interesting moves and solid gear will see you to the top. This route is serious for the grade, but decent gear is available. The copperheads are no longer there. I took HB and BD brass and used both, but either should suffice.
Small cams and brass required, bolts on top, single rope rap down.
Lead this route for the second time (23 years later) and found it to be excellent climbing and a bit scary. 3+ of 5 stars. The moves above the first roof are heady and a fall would be most unpleasant. Above, as Murf said, small brass nuts are essential, and save a 1 to 1.25" cam for the final roof (bomber placement here). Route takes a wide variety of gear from tiny nuts to 2 inch cams.
Wanted to lead this one after Prepackaged but decided to TR it instead after rapping the route. Protection opportunities above the roof were scary. Aside from that it is an awesome climb and was fun to do on TR.
Even as a TR, this is one awesome route! Thought provoking face and crack climbing. Do it.
I didn't use any brass nuts on this climb. The first roof protects well with a bomber medium stopper. A blue-alien size is really nice for the second roof. Really fun moves!
A good selection of thin nuts is what you want on this climb.
fell....hung....hung again, and fell once more....scary yet fun climb and so cool. ill get it clean next time..
I found with modern small cams and brass that this is not R rated. Great gear but thoughtful to place. Don't forget to exit right.
I will remember this lead climb with CLOG COGS, it was my first roof pull 1983 I was 19 years young, nice climb!
Engaging route, quality moves. I didn't have the correct micro cams so the few good ones I had, hogged up the holds. For that reason, it would be easier on top rope. On lead, it felt like 10d.

No-Worries Microsuede Travel Suit
Gift my husband liked
My husband was very pleased with this anniversary gift.
October 23, 2013
Great Travel Suit
I purchased this product for a trip to Paris. The suit has a very nice look, travelled well, feels very high quality, and the jacket can double as a cool weather jacket, if necessary. I wore with a cotton/silk t-shirt and was perfectly comfortable. The zippered pockets on the jacket are nice to have when travelling through an airport. The only caution is that its pretty heavy weight, so I wouldnt want to wear it in the tropics or hot weather locations.
May 29, 2010
i like black i think is was out stock,
the color was OK would to have been able to order black
October 7, 2013
Nice Quality Men's Microsuede Travel Suit
My husband likes it but wishes he could get them as separates--he would prefer black pants but we don't really want to order an another entire suit. We had to get pants hemmed and ironed to get creases out, even after one washing--now they look good. My husband is 6'1" so close to true to size. He hasn't traveled with them yet.
January 26, 2011
Exactly What I Was Looking For
This Travel Suit looks good, feels good. Perfect for travel, especially on long and/or overnight flights. Wore it on back to back eight hour flights (one overnight). It was comfortable and looked just as good at the end of these flights as in did when I started, It is not made for daytime tropical wear but is perfect for the evening sea breeze. It is well made and should be a staple in my casual wear for quite awhile. The only thing I would change is replace the knit collar at the neck with a regular collar. It was true to size and no alterations were required. A good purchase.
April 15, 2011
Grat gift
Great gift for dad. One suggestion on this and it incl. women's sizing as well is pant length. Wish there was not just one length.
June 26, 2013
Husband loves it!
My husband absolutely loves the suit. I got him three. Fits perfectly and as he is 6'2", length was important. I highly recommend it.
June 25, 2013
great style
Often I find that women's clothing doesn't have quality or style for the use I want. I bought the suit for myself, cut off the jacket cuffs and rolled them up. Then made a pencil skirt out of the pants. WOW! what a look. I wear it with a turtle neck, great high heels and the outfit is magnificent!! The compliments just keep coming in when I wear it.

The holiday season is upon us. Sadly, the big retailers are Scrooges when it comes to paying their staffs. Undergirding the sale prices is an army of workers earning the minimum wage or a fraction above it, living check to check on their meager pay and benefits. The dark secret that the retail giants like Wal-Mart don't want you to know is that many of these workers subsist below the poverty line, and rely on programs like food stamps and Medicaid just to get by. This holiday season, though, low-wage workers from Wal-Mart to fast-food restaurants are standing up and fighting back.

As one of my ongoing roles, I am chairman of Utah's technology association, the Utah Technology Council (UTC). In a recent trustee meeting, one of my associates, Kelvyn Cullimore, CEO of medical device company Dynatronics (NASDAQ: DYNT), provided our assembled leaders with perspective on what the coming changes of Obamacare will mean. He spoke particularly about the impact for organizations such as his own that will be impacted by the proposed and expected medical device excise tax.
For all organizations, while much is still unknown as we approach the start dates, the implications of the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) will be immense. Regardless of political views, there are aspects of the changes entrepreneurs must take into account as they plan their business and employment strategies for 2013 and beyond.
As Cullimore notes, medical device companies will be hit especially hard. Dynatronics is a company that employs 160 people. Their own situation is an interesting case study; however the issues they face will apply to many other organizations as well.
In Dynatronics' case, the company acquired several of its distributors in 2007 as a means to protect its distribution channel. After the acquisitions, the company was thankfully able to survive the extremely adverse market from 2008-10. Coming out of the recession, the company made the strategic decision to invest more than $2 million in research and development to allow the company to innovate new products and to create profits the company would be able to recognize for shareholders in 2013 and beyond. While those higher R&D costs did significantly impact their profitability for the last two fiscal years, it has positioned them well for improved profitability in the coming years. As every entrepreneur knows, innovation is not only critical to survival, it is essential to sustained profitability.
On the whole, while Cullimore notes that few people would argue with the benefits of eliminating limits on insurance due to pre-existing conditions and allowing children to remain on their parents' insurance to age 26, the cost of enacting Obamacare's changes is estimated to exceed $2 trillion over 10 years. The money to cover these costs is designed to come from two places:
1) Reducing the scheduled increases in future benefits in Medicare, and
2) Increased taxes. Forbes contributor Kelly Phillips Erb has written about the coming tax increases in detail here.
Of particular interest to companies such as Dynatronics is the coming excise tax on medical device companies. This 2.3 percent tax is particularly frightening because it is levied on top-line sales, even if the respective company doesn't earn a bottom-line profit in a given year.
The medical device industry comprises some 409,000 direct jobs and close to 2 million indirect jobs, according to the Medical Device Manufacturers Association (MDMA). And 80 percent of these companies have fewer than 50 employees. Only 10 percent have 500 employees or more.
For those medical device companies that are making a profit, the 2.3 percent excise constitutes "a tax within a tax." For a company making an 7 percent pre-tax profit, for example, the 2.3 percent excise tax would comprise 33 percent of its entire net profit — and that price tag would be in addition to the regular income taxes it may owe on its earnings. Very literally, it amounts to a tax on top of a tax.
As a case study, in Dynatronic's case, had this excise tax been in effect during 2012, the company that had only broken even would have had to come up with an additional $400,000 to pay in excise tax to comply. Where would that money have come from? Says Cullimore, the company would have had to raise the price of its products (in a market that would likely not tolerate more than the smallest of increases). It likely would have had to limit investment in R&D as well as consider other cost reductions, including layoffs.

My Profile
Braxton Brothers
The San Francisco-based smooth jazz duo of twin brothers Nelson (bass) and Wayne Braxton (saxophone) first took shape when both siblings joined the school band during the fourth grade. By high school, each was a perennial member of the California All-State Honor Band; while Wayne went on to Cal State Northridge, performing as a member of the school's celebrated Jazz A Band, Nelson instead studied tuba at San Francisco State University, later touring Europe as part of the San Francisco Symphony Youth Orchestra. The brothers were later reunited at SFSU, collaborating there in a jazz quartet; they were also both honored as selections to the Disney All-American collegiate band. Upon turning professional, Nelson toured with Najee, while Wayne worked with Sheila E.; as the Braxton Brothers, they debuted in 1996 with Steppin' Out, which was originally released on the tiny Kokopelli label but later licensed for reissue by Windham Hill, where it generated the NAC smash "When Love Comes Around." Now and Forever followed in 1999. ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi
Selected Discography
This song is awesome.Smoo t h listening that puts you in an amazing mood! Love It!
The dynamic sounds that this duo put out is more than words could ever produce, in my opinion. BROS, keep up the GOOD work....
Is Ledisi the featured artist on this song
I, too, enjoyed the song. However, don't label it jazz. It's instrumental R&B.
Always puts me at ease. Smooth jazz sound helps make writing my papers for college easier and keeps my thoughts flowing. Thanks! :)
Very relaxing.Wou l d love to hear them live.
Good music. Great history. Would love to hear them in person.
Now and forever was my wedding song. Every time I hear it, it brings back beautiful memories of one of the happiest days of my life.
People who dance ballroom, do not think you can dance to jazz the Braxtons style makes me dream of the rumba with beautiful women
really relaxing music. love it
This is way cool..two brothers with a similiar like..a great like i may add..JAZZ.Ma y they continue on and forward.
Love you guys. Hopefully I will have the opportunity to see you perform one year at the Seabreeze Festival in Panama City, Fl
This is the very first time that I heard the Braxton Brothers. Sounds great.Soothi n g and relaxing. If you're tired and worn from a long days work.Just put on the Braxton Brothers jazz, kick back and relax. This jazz will take you back. You can be where ever you want to be in your mind. So just lay back and close your eyes and enjoy.
onebabyturtl e
The perfect sound for any day
More than wonderful.
Lovin' it! Lovin' it!
They are fabulous. I heard one of their jazz pieces on Najee station that I have on Pandora. Now I have the Braxton Brother's profile and I love their music.
Creed Taylor kind of groove, best when consumed with cold wine on a sunny day underneath a shade tree. Deeper than smooth jazz, just enough groove to make you want to move, just enough real jazz to keep you in your seat.
This is the first time I have heard of the Braxton Brothers...d a n g , I have been missing this smooth, feet tapping, with the roof back music...I have time to make up yall.
I agree Ronald. Good cruising sound and not be in a hurry for anywhere in particular.
great music.. I just started playing my trumpet after anumber of years. In high school I went on a European tour with the Symphony of Winds playing the French Horn. Then I went to Elizabeth City State University in North Carolina as a music major. I let my teacher change my mind by being bull headed and not following instructions . But now I am getting back into the horn. I play at my church as a means of getting back into the music. Am having a great relearning.. . .
This is the first time that I had the pleasure of listening to the Braxton Brothers. I really like their sound.
