President Barack Obama has demanding a 'trade promotion authority' from the United States Congress to fast-track the Pacific Rim treaty, the Trans-Pacific Partnership.[1]
The fast-track authority plays a pivotal role in determining the extent to which the United States Congress can engage in a critical review of trade agreements.[2]
Protesters scaled the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative on Monday and dropped banners calling for greater transparency and an end to "corporatocracy" over the ongoing and secretive Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement currently in the works between the United States and several Pacific nations.

More than 44 million airplane flights through 19,500 U.S. airports will take place this year. At peak times, 5,000 planes are aloft in American airspace. Yet accidents are few, largely because of the air traffic control system and its alert controllers.
Those controllers confer by radio with pilots about which predefined paths to follow for departure, ascent, descent and landing. While cruising, pilots proceed along each leg of a prefiled navigation plan, advancing along established air routes. Controllers ensure that aircraft are safely spaced. Minimum separations near airports are three miles ahead and 1,000 feet vertically; during high-altitude cruising, the minimums are five miles and 2,000 feet. (This may change to 1,000 feet in 2005.) Controllers hand off supervision of a plane as it advances from one control region to the next and may permit pilots to temporarily go "off route" to avoid bad weather.

Episode #22 Petit Chardonnay
We've all had Chardonnay, but have you ever had 100% Petit Verdot? My recent trip to Spokane's Latah Creek was a pleasant surprise. In my mind I thought Latah Creek was all about sweet wines (not my favorites) like their Huckleberry Wine or Maywine. I was blown away by the quality of their Merlot, Vinosity (Red Blend), and the Petit Verdot.
The NectarView
2007 Chardonnay
- The Stuff: 100% Chardonnay from Connor Lee Vineyards with 100% Malolactic fermentation. Two months in French oak. 760 cases
- The Swirl: Thicker viscosity, more pale yellow than a traditional CA Chardonnay.
- The Sniff: Mild nose with hints of pear and honey
- The Sip: Big and rich butter, vanilla and pear. No oak to speak of. Felt thick and meaty. Finished with a beautiful acidity that washed across the back of my mouth.
- The Score: At a retail price of $12, this is a very well made Chardonnay. I score it a 4+. So far this is one of the best "value" Chardonnay's that I've had. Kudo's, Mike!
I'm not really a Chardonnay fan but this was an incredible offering for the money. I would venture to guess that it could be found for under $10 in certain locations, depending on sales.
2006 Winemakers Reserve Petit Verdot
- The Stuff: 100% Petit Verdot from Alice Vineyards
- The Swirl: Dark inky plum with beautiful legs after heavy swirl
- The Sniff: Slightly musty and earth smell. Pencil shavings and banana. Not overly fruity at first. Eventually opened up to express some flower (Violets I think).
- The Sip: A very diverse tasting wine. It seemed to have different characteristics each time I sipped it. Started to pick up on the blackberry and it tasted floral and slightly sour cherries. Not tart on the back end and surprisingly smooth drinking.
- The Score: At $30 retail, I score this wine a solid 4. I would buy it again because of the variety of flavor and how different it is compared to the majority of other Washington reds.
This wine is a perfect example of how tastes can vary between individuals. While I felt it was a very well made wine with lots of character and interest, my wife didn't care for it too much. For me this further solidifies the need for a variety of reviews. Don't just trust Wine & Spectator's 100pt scoring. Read tasting notes and reviews. Over time, you'll know whether you like sour cherries or barnyard. If a wine is described like that, chances are you may not enjoy it, so why drop the cash.
Washington is growing some fantastic fruit. Over the next few years you will start to see more Nebbiolo, Sangiovese, Mourvedre, and possibly more Petit Verdot. There is more to WA than your standard Bordeaux fruit.
Continue to explore new tastes, expand your palate and try not to ALWAYS drink the same thing. Life is meant to be enjoyed with friends, so DRINK.HAPPY!

Reload the page and try again.
B A+F Computers: A lot of different computer labs and there is free wifi! I bring my own computer because I have everything saved in it but I know plenty of people that use the computers on the campus and theyre great and someone is always there to help you.
A A+F Weather: Nothing really happens, just rains nothing happens to the campus.
A A+F Diversity: There is a lot of support for everyone here. I don't see why there should be a problem with someones beliefs or who they love, its nonsense they should belief what they want,and love who they want.
D A+F Scholarships: I just had so many problems and every time my balance gets changed to 3,985 to 1,686 and its very confusing. A lot of paper work, I thought my parents being in bankruptcy would help me get more help but it has not
C A+F Campus Housing: I don't live in FDU. I wouldnt know much.
A A+F Academics: FDU's school of psychology is great! So I've heard, Im only a freshmen and Im working into getting into their psychology program very soon!!
B A+F Academics: There are great professors, but like always there is those who take there job way too serious and think theyre always right or simply take out there home life problems on students. BUT it is great, i do like them a lot..some
C A+F Parking: Parking to me isn't as bad, since I get there when none is there.
B A+F Guys & Girls: Social life is great, everyone is great and nice! The guys and girls are great and friendly!
A A+F Health & Safety: I''m not concern about my safety, which I love! who would like to go study somewhere where they don't feel safe? No one. I do see security on campus but theyre nice and do there job right since I dont have any concerns.
A A+F Overall Experience: So far, its the best! I love small classes, the professors are great, the people are great and friendly! Its located in a great town! I would pick this school if i had to do it all over again!
B A+F Facilities: I love the social scene, people are great, and help you out a lot here. Professors can be like your best friend and help you a lot ! I love it!
B A+F Facilities: Its great, I dont believe there a week or day that there isnt anything going on in FDU. Theres clubs and a gym, theres everything to keep yourself busy!
A A+F Campus Dining: I love the food, there is also a starbucks in jeepers in FDU! Which is great! Also FDU is near a lot of places to go eat!
C A+F Nightlife: I wouldn't be so sure about this question because I commute to FDU. I live in Nutley.
C A+F Local Atmosphere: My school is located in Hackensack/Teaneck, Nj. I personally think its beautiful and peaceful there. There is a mall nearby and a lot of clubs you can join and a lot of different place to eat and enjoy a good time with friends.
C A+F Computers: I brought my own computer and printer because I'm lazy and like to print things from my bed, but if you don't have a computer or a printer, then you can use some of the schools. JUST MAKE SURE TO SAVE ON YOUR NETWORK DRIVE
B A+F Health & Safety: I feel like nothing will kill me or seriously harm me on this campus, which is a plus lol.
B A+F Drug Safety: If you like to drink, then you're included. If you don't like to drink, but still like to party (like me) then you're included. If you don't like to drink, and don't like to party, then you have friends too. Public safety enforces the noise complaints for parties, but I haven't seen anything for alcohol.
C A+F Athletics: If you don't play a sport, there is a lot of clamor to support the teams, but it's hard to be friends with athletes because they tend to act very snobbish about the fact that you don't play a sport.
C A+F Parking: I don't have a car, but the parking isn't that bad from what I've seen. You don't really need to have a car unless you drive to different places in Jersey a lot, because public transportation is good, and most of the things you need are in walking distance.
B A+F Campus Housing: I've seen some really crappy college housing, and this is far from it.
B A+F Nightlife: I don't really go to bars, so I can't comment on the bar scene of Teaneck/Hackensack. However, parties here are LIVE [if you know where to find them(; ]
C A+F Weather: We live next to the Hackensack River, so it gets colder faster, but there's always a nice breeze when it's hot, so it's not too bad.
B A+F Greek Life: Greek life is a big part of the social life here, but the Greeks aren't snobby or anything. Greeks encourage the meshing of Greek orgs and non-Greek orgs, which is very inspiring because a lot of schools aren't like that. There is no Greek specific housing, but I could see that changing in the near future.

I work primarily in internet marketing, recently several states have instituted internet tax laws, causing several companies to reconsider working with my firm due to the fact that if they worked with a company incorporated in the state I'm currently in it would create a nexus. I was thinking the easiest way to avoid this problem would be to incorporate in another state with a physical address box, and have all that mail forwarded to my NC office. That way I could continue working with these companies, while continuing to live in a state I love.
So I guess may questions would be.
1.)Is it possible to own a business in another state without being a resident there?
2.)Would this be anymore complex than setting up an llc in m current state?
3.)Does anyone have any good references for this sort of thing? I haven'tbeen able t find a whole lot online outside of the usual spam sites and sites trying to charge me $2500 for an llc.

Not only does a having a city-wide trail system increase access to parks, it makes running, walking, and biking, more feasible and safe for all citizens. A study from the Calthorpe Associates, an urban design firm, found that people living in pedestrian friendly neighborhoods make four times as many walking and bicycling trips as residents living an a community without trails. In addition to increasing the health of the residents, a community that invests in trails will see increased economic benefits. The National Trails Training Partnership reported that homes with a high level of walkability can have premiums up to $34,000 more than homes with average walkability!

OSWEGO -- Six elementary school students were injured in a school bus accident in Oswego Monday morning.
The crash happened at the intersection of West Fifth and Utica Streets early in the morning when a pick-up truck hit the Oswego City School Bus. The driver of the truck was ticketed for imprudent speed and failure to stop for a red light.
Five of the students were from Kingsford Park and one was from the Oswego Community Christian School. They were transported to Oswego Hospital hospital for evaluation and observation. The school district tells CNYCentral the injuries were all minor.
There were 27 students onboard the bus when the crash happened. The Oswego City School District bus was heavily damaged in the accident and had to be towed from the scene.

The brunette had a face I didn't recognise, but from her voice I knew she was an old girlfriend from about 15 years ago.
'Do you still have my Mothers of Invention album?' I asked, even though something told me I had never owned one.
'It's at home, come with me and you can pick it up. My car's over there.' She pointed a thumb at a blue Mercedes.
Sitting in the driving seat, I look across to her. She is blonde now and cuter than a minute ago. The car's interior is familiar: my old Audi. I put the key in the ignition and turn it. Nothing happens. I try again, but the key won't turn. I focus on the key which seems to grow. I try again and again. She's shouting at me.
'You're stupid. You're stupid. Start the car, stupid.' She lunges forward and tries to grab the key.
It's dark, I'm in bed laying on my back, sweating. My heart is beating very fast; pounding in my ears and there is a kind of zuzz which seems to be coming from the back of my head. I am shaking. Remembering a relaxation exercise, I take deep breaths and after a minute or so my heartbeat has slowed, but I am still shaking. The dream swirls in and out of my consciousness like when a train goes through a series of short tunnels. Soon the dream is gone, but I'm still hyped. I won't be able to go back to sleep yet.
I get out of bed and go to the toilet for a pee. It seems a good idea to stay up for a while. Feeling a chill from the sweat evaporating from my body, I slip on my dressing gown and descend the stairs, switching on the light as I go.
After drinking a mug-full of cold skimmed-milk I feel calm, and hungry. I spot the fruit bowl and take a banana. It takes about thirty seconds peel it and eat it. Looking at the window, all I see is my face reflected back from the darkness. I switch off the kitchen-light and turn on the porch-light so I can see outside.
It's a clear night. Orion is posing for me. The grass is wet from the rain that fell during a thunder-storm just before I went to bed and the porch light is reflected in the droplets of water on the grass. There seem to be points of brighter greenish light in the lawn. Curious, I switch off the porch light so the garden is in darkness. Near the edge of the lawn, by the hedge, I can still see five points of light.
Wow, glow-worms. I've never seen glow worms in my lawn before. In fact I've never seen glow-worms before. After slipping on a pair of Crocs, I go out for a closer look. I walk over to the nearest point of light. As I draw near it goes out.
'Okay. I get the picture, you don't want to be disturbed,' I whisper.
Happy with the knowledge I have glow worms in my lawn, I respect their wishes and walk round to the front of the house to drink in the peace and quiet. There's no wind: total silence. Standing on the end of my driveway, I stare at the darkened fields across from the house and the black shape of the trees beyond. In the east, there's a soft orange glow from the nearby town. Lights flashing in the sky catch my eye. I can just make out a twin vapour trail, illuminated in the weak half-moon light, silently chasing an invisible jet which is only there is because of its flashing wing lights.
'You poor bastards.' I say at the jet. There's clear picture in my mind of what it's like up there: easy after my own experiences from many long-haul flights to Australia. I know what's being played out up there.
Four-hundred souls voluntarily trapped in a thin fifty-metre aluminium tube, ten kilometres above the earth. People sleeping or trying to sleep, maybe even one dying: it happens. Some getting quietly drunk; other's nursing hangovers. Young (and not so young) couples grope each other's bodies under cover of a darkened cabin and airline-blankets. I've seen them – even had to sit next to them and pretend not to notice.
There are babies: some get fed; some cry; others sleep. Possibly, by highly ingenious sexual manipulations, babies are conceived. Nappies (or diapers if it's an American flight) get changed and filled while small children run silently along the darkened carpeted aisles: eye-level ghosts, making dozing passengers jump.
Some of the cabin crew will be taking a break. Resting from the effort of pushing trolleys, heavy with food and booze, in the narrow aisles while dodging the kids or steadying the rocking vehicles during the spell of turbulence which always comes just as the meals are served. Some may get a chance to make out in some private part of the aircraft (and who can blame them: it's a shitty job really).
Elsewhere in the aircraft books are being read or written. Computer games are being played; business is getting done or perhaps lost. Relationships getting started: affairs ending. People are peeing; defecating; washing; cleaning their teeth: putting on make up. Some are having fun, some are frightened. People are going home, folks are leaving. Maybe wars are being planned: or managed. The list is endless
At the front of the cabin, the privileged few: middle-class in business section on big expense accounts and those who can afford to pay to separate themselves from the hoi-polloi. In the nose: the super rich (or super lucky). All take advantage of the privileges that come from having the money to pay (theirs or somebody else's).
The whole thing is guided on its way by the pilot and his flight-crew, each with upwards of one-hundred lives in a busy pair of hands. Everybody on board hopes they are infallible, like God and his Christ or Allah and his Mohammed. Even the devil is there hoping to bring everything crashing to the ground. Occasionally in the high profile form of a terrorist, but mostly as faceless incompetent and lazy maintenance staff or airline management maximizing profits at the expense of safety.
As the lights and their icy hanger-on pass overhead, I hear the faint roar of the four engines on the invisible aircraft, the volume exaggerated in the still summer air. A perfect sample of modern society (except smoking is banned)
A thought occurs to me: if aliens wanted to study the human race, they wouldn't need to land on our planet. All they need to do is to slip into the stratosphere and cherry-pick a few long-haul airliners from around the globe. No energy consuming landing and taking off: very cost effective. As a bonus, they'd get an idea of our technology and our cultures from the on-board entertainment systems.
The aircraft gone, I'm alone in small hours silence below an empty sky. Just me, a few billion stars, a couple of planets and the moon. Feeling relaxed and sleepy, I return to the house. As I pass my five glowing neighbours, I whisper, 'Goodnight boys and girls, keep it up.' Back in bed, thankful to the glow worms for making my life a little richer, my last thought before falling into a deep sleep:
I wonder if it's allowed to smoke on Flying Saucers.

The South takes pride in many things - apple pie, southern hospitality, home cooking, rival football games, classic Southern literature and more. Two authors, William Faulkner and Borden Deal, made this part of the country come alive with their words and put Union County on the map for all to experience page by page.
Both New Albany and Union County School Districts said they've seen continued improvements in the 2011-2012 Mississippi Curriculum Test, second edition scores, released this week.
According to New Abany School District Superintendent Jackie Ford, test scores were up in all three of the district's schools over last year.
Legend has it that barbecue was invented in Union County, so having New Albany be the setting for the first annual Smoke on the Water Barbecue Contest is a way to help keep this history and tradition alive.
Mississippi Senate Bill 2461 was passed that authorizes the Commissioner of Public Safety to provide a "Vet" designation on driver's licenses and identification cards for eligible veterans.
Tracy Garrett of New Albany was awarded first place in the 2012 "Dance Like the Stars" event, held Saturday at the BancorpSouth Arena Tupelo.
The event, a yearly fundraiser for the Boys & Girls of Mississippi, raised over $175,000 for the youth development organization – the largest ever in its seven-year history.
Former Myrtle resident J.E. Hicks got a surprise of a lifetime when he was able to reunite with a friend he hadn't seen in 42 years. This was due to a chance encounter between Hicks and a truck driver.
Hicks grew up in Myrtle and when he was 21 years old, he entered the United States Army and was stationed in Fort Sill, Okla.
In honor of the Labor Day holiday, the New Albany Gazette will be closed Monday, Sept. 3, 2012. It will re-open for regular business hours on Tuesday, Sept. 4, 2012.
City and county offices will also be closed Monday, Sept. 4 for the holiday.
Eight Union County residents have been arrested in meth-related crimes in three separate cases.
Union County Sheriff Jimmy Edwards said that Friday night when the police arrived at the address of 1284 CR 101, New Albany, the home in which Roy Victory Lamar, 27 and Lori Beth Farris, 28, both lived, they were in the process of making meth amphetamines.
While not originally from Union County, Vivian Norton has become one of it heroes for her desire to help the community.
Norton, formerly manager of the New Albany Huddle House branch and recently promoted district manager, was recently named "Huddle House Hero" for her desire to help the local community.

So, after much waiting I have finally got my hands on Dita Von Teese's new makeup with Art Deco. Honestly, I was mixed about this because while Art Deco is a good quality brand, celebrity makeup lines are usually a bit meh. But, naturally, coming from Dita Von Teese, I should have known better. The colours are retro perfect! Lots of lovely matte eyeshadows, matte lipsticks and natural looking blusher colours. There are also 4 slightly shimmery shadows, liner and mascara available too. I really had to restrain myself because even though it's "drug-store/chemist" makeup, it is still not cheapy cheap. Each of the little eyeshadows are 5€, the power is about 17€ and the magnetic palette, 27€. That said, the palette is refillable and honestly, a very substantial metal coated container. It's not the kind of cheap plastic that would break if you dropped it on the bathroom tiles.
Onto the actual product then; First up is the magnetized container with the eyeshadows/blush. This is great. Trust the ever efficient germans to come up with something like this! Art Deco make a series of eyeshadows/blushers/concealers/correctors in small magnetized pans that all slot neatly - in whatever combination of colours you need - into these little containers. I picked a neutral flesh base colour in 554, a taupe shade for the eye socket in 520 and a deeper brown for either the crease or for an evening look, in 524. All of these shades are matte, true colour powders. I've yet to test them on my eyes throughout the day, but from sweeping them over my hand they seem as smooth and lovely as MAC's matte shadows. Fingers crossed. The blusher in this set is No. 20, a light pink shade. It blends very well, as one would expect from an Art Deco product, but isn't as tanfastic and TOWIE-looking as many blushers. For vintage fans in particular, finding that subtle pink shade is a nightmare but these colours are the closest matte shades I've seen yet. Again, their colours are comparable to other brands, in this case, Illamasqua who make some very similar colours of blush. A lovely touch on this palette and the powder is the mirror which is a clear magnifying mirror that has "Beauty is an Art" scrawled in one corner in Dita's signature looped handwriting. Cute.
Next up is the powder which is a fine milled, heavy coverage old fashioned matte powder. There is a slightly floral smell to it which some people may find off putting but it reminds me very much of the scented powder compacts that women used in the 40's-60's. In particular, Guerlain's poudre aux violettes, something which I got for a birthday present once and never bought again because it was so horribly expensive. This though is far larger, just as good (maybe even slightly better colour wise) and comes highly recommended. it will be interesting to see how it fairs in this extreme heat we're having.
Finally, there is the lipstick, something which I was really looking forward to. There are six shades in the Dita Von Teese Classics range - starting with a rich red-orange, progressing through three shades of red (starting with a bright pin up red and finishing with a deep, vampy 30's claret shade) and finishing with two shades of pink - a bright blue toned fuschia and a pinky red shade. I chose one of the reds in the middle. This is No. 620. It is a fairly mid toned red, maybe with a little blue in it but balanced enough that I think it would be a nice, classic red for all skin tones. It is really a semi matte tone, not as chalky as MAC's Ruby Woo but still "dry" enough to look authentic. Upon first application it seemed smooth and not at all claggy. However, I've been wearing it for a couple of hours now and it's starting to get a little sticky and "bitty" which isn't great. I suppose that could be remedied by wiping the whole lot off and reapplying throughout the day. It doesn't smell too strongly and tastes faintly vanillary. It's barable but I'm still not swayed enough to abandon my trusty Ruby Woo forever. That said, the colour does look beautiful on and hasn't started to wear off yet even though I've been sipping water for a good hour or so.
Overall, I'm very impressed with Dita's range for Art Deco. I think as the line suggests, the colours are classic shades that are suitable for everyone. There's no crazy high fashion shades and they're not the kind of things you won't be wearing in six months time. They're timeless colours and formulas which I think gives this range a really great selling point.

The US Has the Highest Share of Employees in Low Wage Work
by Mark Thoma
An MMT site bringing you dogma-free economics without the pleadings of self interest
Wow, top 4 are all English speaking countries out of only 6 on the whole list. Maybe coincidence but its pushing it somewhat.
Judge it on the basis of how neoliberal each country is in its economic policy.
That thought had crossed my mind Tom... Thatcher and Reagan... low and behold the top 2 are...
Quite surprised Germany was that high up though in fairness.
"Judge it on the basis of how neoliberal each country is in its economic policy."
Precisely! The world is awash in propaganda posing as serious studies.
Historically freer economies tend to attract and sustain those who would have otherwise been dependent on the state in other countries.
Wow, pretty damning.
Seeing Austria at the top and PIIGS at the bottom my only feeling is "garbage". I am sure this chart is faked and the data is not controlled for the critical variables. At the very least if salary distribution is narrow then you can get high share of low-wage even though the definition of low is very skewed. The chart might be correct for the USA but please do not use it for a blind comparission

Addicted to Morning Joe
I'm embarrassed to admit this, but I'm a junkie for Morning Joe. So much so that I actually DVR it and watch it at night, because my kids don't let me watch it in the morning.
One of the reasons I like the show is that a couple of friends of mine, both with connections to Rock the Vote, are involved with the show: Ann Edelberg and Madeline Peters. Another reason I like it is because it's one of the last remaining programs on any news network that brings together people with different ideas (though sticking mostly to the center of the spectrum) and gives them time to thoroughly debate them (sometimes too much time). I give them a lot of credit for their format; I think it's brilliant.
Right now I'm watching Paul Krugman arguing against the conventional wisdom about the need for deficit reduction, and it's fascinating. I take Krugman with a grain of salt - if Obama had followed his advice to nationalize the banks instead of bailing them out, I can't imagine what the political fallout would have been. And as it turned out, it wasn't necessary.
But his argument on the show today is more nuanced than most of what I've read of his arguing against deficit reduction. He's not saying we don't need a long term debt strategy, he's saying we don't need it now. In fact, he's not even saying we don't need it now - all other things being equal, it's clear he'd prefer a policy that is fiscally expansionary now and fiscally contractionary some time in the unspecified future, when the economy is healthy.
But his argument is, Washington isn't capable of processing this cognitive dissonance - the notion that debt is a problem, but not yet - and therefore if you dignify the concerns about debt, you lose the argument for pro-growth policies in the short term. The most compelling evidence that he's right comes when Ed Rendell cites the early drafts of Simpson-Bowles, which advocated short-term growth policies and long-term deficit reduction, including a gas tax increase to fund infrastructure spending. Krugman interrupts to point out this proves his point: they couldn't even get their small commission to agree to that provision, in the context of long-term debt reduction, so how can anyone expect Congress to enact deficit-fueled expansionary policies while acknowledging and addressing the long-term debt?
But my point here wasn't to live-blog a show I recorded this morning. What's funny about the show is Krugman's visible struggle not to just yell at Richard Haas and Rendell: "What part of I-have-a-Nobel-Prize-in-economics-and-you-don't do you not understand??!!"
The closest he gets is when Haas makes the argument about the bond vigilantes asserting themselves and Krugman cuts him off, saying people have been predicting the market would reject American debt issuances for years, and our borrowing costs keep going down: "How many times do they have to be wrong and people like me have to be right before they believe us?"
Then Congresswoman Marsha Blackburn comes on the show and basically proves Krugman's point. Scarborough asks her whether she could support expansionary policies in the short term if she could package it with long term debt reduction. And she proceeds to launch into her talking points about the debt, foreclosing any discussion of short-term growth.
I said at the beginning I like the show because it brings people together with differing views and gives them time to hash things out, but they should have kept Krugman on the set for Congresswoman Blackburn's segment. Crazy to let these two talk past each other without clash.

How Heart Healthy Are You?
- Do you know your blood pressure? High blood pressure can lead to heart disease. It's best to have it checked every one or two years since you may not show any signsof high blood pressure.
- Do you know your cholesterol and triglyceride levels? High blood cholesterol can clog your arteries and cause a heart attack. High levels of triglycerides, a form of fat in your blood stream, are linked to heart disease in some people. If your levels are high, talk with your doctor. A better diet and more exercise may lower them, reducing your risk for heart disease.
- Are you at a healthy weight? Your risk for heart disease increases when you're overweight. Find out your body mass index (BMI) to be sure your weight is healthy. Eating right and exercising regularly are key to maintaining or achieving a weight that's good for your heart.
- Do you smoke? If so, there's no better time than now to quit. You have many options to help you quit smoking including patches and gum, support groups and programs. Be sure to discuss your options with your doctor.
- Do you have diabetes? Having diabetes raises your chances of getting heart disease.
- Do you drink alcohol? If so, keep it to one drink a day. Learn more about alcohol awareness.
- Are you coping well with stress? Lower your stress level by chatting with friends, going for a walk or writing down your thoughts and feelings in a journal.
Follow these five key steps to help lower your risk for heart disease and heart attacks:
- Be physically active
- Don't smoke
- Eat healthy
- Keep a normal weight
- Know your numbers (blood pressure, cholesterol and triglycerides)

So I have grown weary of listening to the outboard when I just want to run across the flats in front of the house...
Able to carry 2-3 adults and at least one kid
Very quick to build
Stern sheets or other seat for SWMBO which will be nice to lounge in for 2 hour relaxation trips
I've built plenty of taped seam and chine log stuff. I wouldn't mind a solid wood boat, but not critical either.
Aesthetically a pleasing boat to be in
Inland lake that may see 1 ft wind chop on the worst day that I'd go out. Lots of boat traffic and boat wakes, but no seas of consequence.
Kinda thinking the 15' range is not too shabby. Ease of rowing will always get the boat used more often, so that'd be great as well, but with a 7 week old at home, there's not a ton of time to be in the shop.
Do your worst, gents, do your worst...

Zach is one of
two returning players on this years squad. He has started all but three games over
the last two seasons, except when hes been injured. Zach is a graduate of Orofino High School, where he averaged 18 points and nine rebounds per game his senior year. The past two years, Zach has given the Warriors a defensive presence next to the basket and has worked hard in the offseason to enhance his offensive skills and production. Coach Pfeifer on Zach Wilson: "In the last two years, Zach has put 20 pounds of muscle on his frame. He is an explosive jumper as evidenced by his ability to touch out at 11 feet, 3 inches. This past summer, he really dedicated himself to become a more efficient scoring threat, and we expect that to transfer into games this season." |

From Casablanca to Cape Town, Africa offers some of the greatest secrets and travellers' treasures to be found anywhere on earth. The inhabitants, both human and otherwise are no less diverse - Africa is home to modern cities and nomadic villages alike. Whether you're after a peaceful sunrise while on an Africa safari, a camel trek with Berber tribesmen, or a photo op with mountain gorillas, Africa will touch you deeply and beckon you to return again and again.
South Africa & Swazi Quest (DASQ)
The unvarnished grandeur of South Africa is on display in this comprehensive exploration of one of the continent's most diverse and fascinating destinations. Africa's incredible culture and wildlife is at a premium on this tour—from the coastal shores of Tsitsikamma to extensive game drives in Addo Elephant National Park and the famed Kruger. You'll also have the chance to visit a traditional Swazi village, explore modern Cape Town, and follow the glorious Garden Route. Add in knowledgeable CEOs and some of the best camp meals you've ever tasted and you've got a recipe for adventure par excellence.
Highlights: Spot the Big Five in game parks and reserves, visit local villages and cosmopolitan Cape Town, search for resident wildlife in Kruger National Park, take in southern Africa's dramatic scenery, experience local dancing.
Kruger & Swazi Overland (DAKZ)
In Africa, the cultural exchange rate is always favourable. This eye-opening journey into South Africa and Swaziland promises ample face time with the region's famed wildlife and life-changing contact with the people who make this land their home. Here, you'll marvel at hippopotami in their natural habitat, dine on local favourites and amazing camp meals, and meet the beneficiaries of Planeterra's efforts in the region. And with a reliable and knowledgeable CEO on hand at all times, your comfort zone will expand by miles.
Highlights: Enjoy the scenery of the Panoramic Route, spot crocs in the St Lucia Estuary, track the Big Five in Kruger National Park, drink in the culture of tiny villages.

A "zero-sum game" is a reasonably well understood phrase, though often incorrectly used as "zero sum gain." The opposite of this is a "non-zero–sum game," which I find rather unwieldy. Is there a better phase than "non-zero–sum game?"
In addition to zero sum games, there are also positive sum games and negative sum games. See this discussion. Apparently, these are related, but different from win-win games. | |||||
I wouldn't be too sure a zero sum game is that well-known... But putting aside the more "academic" overtones of the above definition, I suppose when it's used in common parlance the focus is on the fact that there's no collective gain. So the opposite is a... Win-win game (or more often, Win-win negotiation) | |||||||||||||

China had colsed-door foreign policy so they did not need to speak English but it was enough to understand writing materials. Because of that reason Grammar-Translation method was uniqe. In our world Grammar-Translation method does not work because policies have changed.
People need to speak English. In China it is not easy to get rid of the Grammar-Translation method as it has powerful root. Students are unfamiliar with modern methods so they feel unsecure when a new method is performed. They want to change their teacher.
Another factor which is obstacle to new methods is 'unqualified teachers'. 'Qualified teacher' are not someone who are good at four basic skills but it means that they are good at both four skills and methodology. Grammar-Translation method is really easy one for teachers so teachers may choose it.
Qualified teachers may come across some problems,too. Students feel secure when second language is translated into first language. It is sure that students ask teachers to translate but according to the modern methods it is not a good way to teach language. Teacher tries to satisfy students by visualize the word or explaining in second language.
Solutions proposed by the author is logical and applicable, I think. But it will take long. It is possible change system in the planning stage but it is not so easy to practise the changes properly. Students,families,teachers,head of the colleges must be made conscious. As a teaching methodology tactics in the essay seems to work. We sould decrease use of first language as much as possible.
The name of the essay is 'An Academic or A more Practical Approach'. It was published in China and written by Xiao Aili, head of the English department in Changsha EDucation College of Hunan Province. The essay was retrived from here

Posted by: Circle of Grace Member, Shannon Paige Schneider
My mother would laugh at me as a child and marvel at my creativity with language. I would sometimes hear words as I heard them and offer definitions that I felt made contextual sense. I would make words and their definitions my own.
"Empowerment" was one of those words. I remember hearing it and in the conversation it seemed clear to me that the power in question was something that made a person feel good on the INSIDE. I began to use the four-syllable word in the everyday, feeling really, REALLY, really big in my little boots.
Only, I was saying, "IN-powerment."
My mom asked me to qualify it once. She cocked her head to one side and said, "You know, I think you are right." So she did not correct me. In fact, she NEVER let on at all. I do not actually remember who DID finally point out the snafu but it kind of stuck with me my whole life and I think about it every once in a while when I feel small, contracted, or a little uninspired.
Who does NOT like to be powered on the inside? Who does not like to feel lit up and in the seat of solid decisions and following truth, joy, inspiration, and intuition?
Everyone can operate from a sense of internal power. This is actually the sustainable state. It is like GREENING one's decisions and life-lived patterns. When we live without this, our energy falls, we push ourselves to the limit and burnout, exhaustion, fatigue, and depression are not far behind.
Power is something very different from force, though both can be internalized and can find a strong presence in the day-to-day. We can force ourselves to sit in front of a situation and take it in. We can force ourselves to show up in a situation where we are diminished or told we are not enough, screwed up, somehow not quite right. We can force ourselves to act as though we feel a certain way to attain a certain outcome. We can force a decision to feel right and righteous. We can simply force for the sake of force.
OR, we can soften and listen to the questions we are asking inside. We can soften and listen to the vibrations of grace we are answering to ourselves on the inside. When we soften and tap into the way life and love and energy moves through us, we realize that it is our nature to live in connection to an expanding universe. In lining up to that pulse of expansion, remembrance and placing ourselves in tandem to universal embrace, we too power up from the inside.
We find ourselves IN-powered.
When IN-powered, we are much less likely to make a decision for a small outcome. When IN-powered we don't really feel the need to push a single agenda. When IN-powered, we look for grace, goodness, and a win-win in service to the expansion of the universe herself. When we live in a state of IN-powerment, there is less fear, there is more creativity and there are rows and rows and rows of more love blossoms blooming. When we are IN-powered, we give unconscious permission for others to do and live the same.
So the exercise is to sit, to soften, to listen, to re-spond rather than re-act and therein lies the work of a lifetime. However, the power certainly outweighs any sense of force, leverage, or sense of unsustainable lack.
Make a list of all those activities you have in your day that lift you up. Make a list of all those people in your life who make you feel held, safe, and present. Do you realize that these people, places, things all live in the vibration of you, your memory, your body, your capacity to connect? At ANY one time, you, me, we can turn within and see them, feel them, know that they are part of us from the inside out. We are, therefore, constantly IN-powered by those we love.
Here's to living IN-powered.

Randonnée Appennini Uno
The first Randonnée Appennini took place between the 1st and 8th May and looks to have been an epic (yes, I used that word again) adventure. Whilst the weather was clearly challenging at times, the Italian landscape speaks for itself. Congratulations to all who rode and good luck to those taking to the Alps next month for the first Alpine Randonnée. Forza.

Super photos and looking forward to hearing more about all the trips.
Hoping for a Randonnée Dufferini for the slightly less capable rider, but one who equally fancies this adventure!

Guys, great post and pics. But as an Italian, I am suggesting you to be careful with writing "forza Italia"… The reason here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forza_Italia

Asterisk: Monitoring Your E1 or T1 With Nagios
Tags: Asterisk server, E1 monitoring, monitor your E1/T1 with Nagios, nagios, NRPE, T1 monitoring
E1 monitoring/T1 monitoring is a need that we have on a daily basis because the client's business depends on it. Here you have an interesting script in PERL that will allow you to monitor your E1/T1 with Nagios. Passing the name of the port as an argument will allow you to use it even if it is not yet connected to a telco. Using the Nagios Remote Plugin Executor on the Asterisk server you can execute it. Additionally, it will report bad ports to you in order to avoid the guessing process.

The Recipients The Setting The Threats Struggles and Success The Gwich'in Steering Committee elected James as its chairperson in 1988. Since then, she has become a national and global leader in the Gwich'in campaign to save the refuge and caribou. She has continuously worked to educate Congress about maintaining ANWR's protected status. In 2000, she traveled to the international climate change talks in the Netherlands to publicize the connection between global warming and the degradation of the Arctic. James is currently coordinating the efforts of various native peoples to develop sustainable sources of energy in the region. As a result of her work, solar power was recently installed in two Gwich'in villages. James also offers inspiration and guidance to the next generation of Gwich'in. This year, she helped organize the Gwich'in Young Peoples Gathering, a five-day assembly to celebrate and to strategize about ANWR conservation. Kassi initiated the struggle to save the Porcupine Caribou in Northeastern Alaska on behalf of the Gwich'in. She has organized numerous conferences, community activities and media events on environmental and health issues affecting the Arctic. She has appeared at U.S. Congressional hearings and has organized support among major environmental organizations such as the Sierra Club, Audubon and the National Wildlife Federation. In August of 2000, she met with former President Jimmy Carter, who pledged to ask then-President Clinton to declare the ANWR a national monument. This summer Kassi traveled to Hawaii to urge Senator Daniel Akaka (D-HI), a member of the Senate Energy and Resources Committee, to join others in Congress in denouncing oil drilling in the refuge. "We are caribou people," said James. "It's our clothing, our story, our song, our dance and our food that's who we are. If you drill for oil here, you are drilling right into the heart of our existence." "Some might say it is a fool's errand to fight the oil industry in Alaska, but we have no choice but to fight," added Solomon. "They may have their lobbyists and campaign contributions, but we have found that a well-timed visit to the halls of Congress by Gwich'in, whose lives and livelihoods would be devastated, can make for a very convincing argument." Kassi noted, "For thousands of years the Gwich'in have safeguarded the sacred calving grounds of the Porcupine Caribou, which sustains our existence. Is it right that the fate of yet another indigenous culture will be determined by the U.S. government?" |
