celebrity style at SXSW
Having just wrapped, it's safe to say that South by Southwest is definitely one of the cooler festivals of the year. It was a fascinating mix of underground bands, independent film, and up-and-coming techies – basically, the movers and shakers everyone's going to be talking about next year.
The fashion at SXSW was, of course, equally cool, and it was nice to see our favorite stars dressed down. We spotted some fashionable women running around the festival sporting effortless Austin chic.
Camilla Alves cozied up with fiancé Matthew McConaughey at the premiere of Bernie, McConaughey's upcoming film. She hit two trends in one: sheer lace and candy-colored jeans.
Jenna Dewan-Tatum was all grins with hubby Channing at an event for 21 Jump Street. Her adorable rhinestone-studded red shift makes us smile, too.
Sheryl Crow beat the heat in a simple strapless black dress.
Minnie Driver looked smokin' in a hot red sheath.
Gabrielle Union was Texas-desert-ready in her khaki romper – paired with a glam statement necklace, of course.
And our favorite look of the week goes to actress Kristen Connolly, who rocked the red carpet in this fun and flattering floral-print dress.

very handy: all mixed up
Things have been busy in the tarte office! We've got our miracle of maracuja TSV on QVC tomorrow and everyone is prepping for the kick off at midnight! With all this energy buzzing around, I thought Jen's mixed nail polish was a perfect example of our pretty, but slightly disjointed, harmony.
Jen used two Essie polishes to create the look, the lighter shade is called navigate her, and the darker is power clutch.

SXSW style
Sigh. Awards season is over. No more red carpets, ball gowns, hilarious speeches, or video montages. But wait, what's that? Oh yes, it's festival season! With SXSW, Coachella, and Bonnaroo on the horizon, tartelettes, we're trading in our heels for Chucks, designer gowns for hippie dresses, and big names for soon-to-be-discovered indie darlings.
First up: South by Southwest, Austin's funky intersection of music, film, and tech. Of course, the confluence of new bands, independent film, Austin cool, and tech entrepreneurs makes for a signature SXSW look. And, as more and more fashion companies become tech-savvy, style is becoming formally entrenched in the mix as well. This year, there are even a few talks specifically on fashion on the docket.
So, what does one wear to this uniquely awesome festival? We've rounded up some SXSW basics that every girl should have in her suitcase.
A pair of hipster shades are a must for blocking out that searing Texas sun (and staving off headaches after long nights.) We love the the always-cool Ray-Ban aviator.
Bright skinny jeans.
You'll want outfits that can easily transition from day to night. A pair of candy-colored jeans is an essential item for spring that can go as perfectly with a worn-in band tee as with a sparkly tank and heels. Urban Outfitters has an affordable selection in a rainbow's-worth of colors.
Comfortable flats.
Flats are the name of the game during SXSW. Gladiator sandals and Toms are very cool options; our favorite is a classic Chuck Taylor from Converse.
Wedge heels.
When you do want to dress up a little, toss on a pair of comfy, wedge-heeled booties, like this faux-suede pair from Target.
A statement canvas tote.
This isn't the place for a glamorous clutch. As you're running between talks, screenings, and parties, a cool canvas tote is much better for stashing your iPad, your makeup bag, and other festival essentials. The FEED bag is a cute option that also contributes to a great cause!

coffee break: celebs and their caffeine
There's nothing like a hot cup of Joe, whether it's first thing in the morning or any early afternoon pick-me-up — I love my coffee. And apparently, I'm not the only one; here are some candid shots of some of our favorite celebs caffeinating themselves in public.
Ryan Reynolds gets his caffeine fix with a furry friend.
Rachel Bilson grabs a cup of Joe on the go.
Miley Cyrus looks like she's been up all night….hope that's a double shot in there…
It's amazing how Mila Kunis can make grabbing an ice coffee in an awkward motion shot look lovely.
Michael Cerra wouldn't be a true hipster without a coffe in his hand. But not Starbucks…that's against hipster law.
Caffeine queen Mary-Kate Olsen's hand has literally morphed into the shape of a Starbucks grande cup… true love or true addiction?
Kim Kardashion looks oh-so-chic with those oversized aviator sunnies and grande Starbucks…go Kim!
If Kate Hudson didn't have that sip of coffe to keep her alert before stepping off this curb she might have fallen. Coffee….saving one life at a time.
Is it just us, or Emma Roberts taunting non-Californians with her a tank top and iced coffee? Yeah, we know, it's always sunny in California.
Love birds Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux casually stroll side by side, coffee cups in hand.

the tarte team rocks red lips for IWD
In honor of International Women's Day the #RocktheLips campaign is encouraging women to wear red lips today in celebration of women everywhere. Now that's something we can really get behind.
(OK, so not everyone is rocking red lips, but when you have so many lip shades at your disposal, it's hard to choose just one!)

spring break travel essentials
tartelettes, have we got spring fever. In these last long days of winter, all we're craving is pretty pastels, floaty dresses, and any excuse to bust out our new shades.
Fortunately, your faithful fashion blogger has managed to escape to warmer climes. It's spring break, baby!
However, with just one unforgiving, carry-on size suitcase to fit all this fun spring fashion, packing was admittedly a bit of a challenge. After hours of agonizing in front of my closet, I decided to go with what always works best: just a few simple items of clothing, topped off with versatile springtime accessories. Here are a few of my favorite travel-friendly go-to's.
The perfect LWD (little white dress) – like this one from California-based, eco-friendly line Kelly B Couture that's made of 98% natural fibers. Wear it over your bikini, or dress it up with heels and a long statement necklace for going out.
A fabulous swimsuit; Trina Turk's amazing prints and bold colors are a match for any water-side vacation.
A gorgeous silk scarf – like this one from ASOS – is the perfect springtime accessory. Toss it around your neck to glam up a casual outfit, tie it around your bag to brighten things up, or wrap it around your head for a chic answer to uncooperative hair.
Of course, bright (faux) leather sandals are a must. Our pre-trip ritual is to go pick up an assortment of colors at Forever 21.
A great pair of sunglasses. We just recently discovered the new line from TOMS, one of our favorite charitable accessories brands. For each pair you buy, the company will give sight to one person in need. Now, that's fashion you can feel really good about.
Don't forget to top off any outfit with some really good sunscreen. (We like all-natural Badger Balm). Nothing complements your clothes like healthy, glowing skin!
What are you planning for spring break, and what are you packing?

very handy: bright on!
Neon is the trend right now, and with never-ending gloom in the air this winter, I'm thankful for it! It's a trend that's bold, cheery and reminds me that, yes, there is always a bright side. When I saw Sylvie, our VP of marketing, sporting this neon varnish – Hot Pop Pink by CND – and bright yellow blouse, I had to take a snap.
Who else is rocking neon nails?

Building Green
Homes that are healthy, energy efficient and environmentally responsible.
Green building is the practice of using better siting, design, construction, operation, maintenance, and removal — the complete building life cycle — to increase the efficiency of use of resources and impacts on human health and the environment. Effective green building can lead to 1) reduced operating costs (by increasing productivity and using less energy and water) 2) improved public and occupant health (due to improved indoor air quality) and 3) reduced environmental impacts (by lessening storm-water runoff and the heat-island effect). Green builders seek to achieve not only ecological but aesthetic harmony between a structure and its surrounding natural and built environment.

By IFEANYICHUKWU NWANNAH
As supremacy for power in Zamfara security system rages on between the Zamfara Police Command and the State Vigilante group who are claiming to be giving armed robbers fire for fire operation and stepping into every nooks and crannies of the State caring more about the entire masses. But the police are alleged to be groping for their selfish interest caring less about the security of the common masses. An overall calamity that bedevils the State today is lack of adequate security of lives and properties, which instead of promoting peace and understanding among the security agencies, power tussles ensued instead. However, these wounds that tend to cripple the peaceful atmosphere of the State is displaying a clear picture of the whole scenario following the claim by the Vigilante group that the police have not arrested any single person regarding the operations of the armed bandits in the State, even as record shows that the Vigilante group is seriously dealing with the situation. The group claims that they have arrested some suspected armed bandits and handed them over to the police for further investigations and prosecutions but neither were the suspects been taken to court nor prosecuted.
They maintained that some even escaped from the police custody, revealing that recently a suspected armed robber was arrested in Kaura Namoda and handed over to the police but the suspected armed robber escaped from the police custody; yet the police said they are still investigating the whereabout of the arrested suspect.
The Vigilante group said they have taken a drastic measure to reduce the increasing activities of armed robbery in the State. The group gave the breakdown of how their members are being killed on daily basis.
According to the data in Maru Local Government area 58 members of their group were killed recently. In Dangulbi 20 people were killed, Lingado 18, in Kabaro 20, in Zurmi Local Government 10 were killed, in Birnin Magaji Makera 7 were killed.
In Shinkafi, the vigilante group said they apprehended two suspected armed robbers with a Golf car with registration number AH646 DRK, while one of them escaped and the one arrested has been handed over to the police. Also in Tsafe another AK47 with 19 live ammunitions and two magazines were recovered from them which they said have been handed over to the police. The report said in Kasuwa Daji two armed bandits were killed last week, adding that the leaders of the vigilante group were arrested by the police and the vigilante group members are still in police custody at the time of compiling this report.
The vigilante group said that they have shown the police the alleged suspects behind the killing including Isah Sarkin Yaki, Yauta Baki and Bala Maigora yet the police refused to arrest these people for interrogations but prefer to arrest the vigilante group leaders and detain them.
In Yanware Daji in Tsafe Local Government Area the vigilante chairman, vice chairman and secretary are still in police detention; in Nassarawa Godel, in Birnin Magaji Local Government area the group chairman and secretary are still in police custody.
DESERT HERALD investigations revealed that after the operations and as they share their booty, the alleged armed robbers would begin to open fire on themselves and the source said the police would begin to detain the vigilante leaders. The same source further hinted that last week the vigilante group apprehended a lorry load of grasses suspected to be Indian hemp which was equally handed over to the police with the suspects. The number of the lorry was given as XA857TAF. However the driver and five other suspects are guests to the state police command.
A retired soldier, who is also a member of the state vigilante group but pleaded anonymity, said that the police force was originally established as a police force responsible for keeping public orders. He said for long the credibility of the police has been put to question because they cannot perform hence the need for the vigilante groups.
Continuing, the source said that when the incessant killings were beyond the police, the state government then invited a famous armed robbers hunter, Ali Kwara, who apprehended most of the armed bandits and handed them over to the police for prosecution. He noted that before Ali Kwara agreed to honour the invitation he warned that he will not tolerate a situation where he would release criminals to the police and they will not be taken to court. But it is over three months now and there is no record that the police has taken any of them to court. He submitted that during the raid by Ali Kwara, a police corporal was arrested who after interrogations confessed that he was dealing on AK47 and other dangerous weapons. He said he maintains a shop for the unholy business. When the shop was broke open over 30 AK47 guns and magazines and live ammunitions were discovered.
Another person interviewed said that it is so grotesque to believe that they are not happy with the presence of Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps and the vigilante group in the security setup, submitting that since NSCDC members were given guns and ammunitions the police are not comfortable. They intend to dominate the security system.

For the kind of companies I work in, the very best solution would
(in my opinion!) be a canonicalizer that was smart enough to hold
off actually committing any rewrites until it finds something that's
ambiguous or dangerous, and that leaves notes describing what it did
and why.
Keep in mind that canonicalization, or any other sort of rewriting, is
considerably more complex than scanning for invalid syntax and rejecting,
and so it's more prone to be fragile and have bugs itself.
I agree, though, that there won't be a universal solution. For my own
incoming email, I'd prefer a strict filter that rejects (or more likely
quarantines for further study) any messages with invalid Base64 or MIME
syntax. With the amount of email traffic I get, and the proportion likely
to fall into that category, that's manageable. But large organizations with
many nontechnical users will obviously have different requirements.

Personal Finance for Kids (ages 3 to 10)
The NFEC's Personal Finance for Kids curriculum not only is fun and engaging; it also meets core educational standards. Designed to motivate participants to take positive action, the lesson plans use practical, hands-on learning to let students reap the benefits of forming positive monetary habits at a young age.
From birth, children are inundated with messages from advertisers to "buy, buy, buy!" A typical kid is exposed to more than one million advertisements by the time they reach age 21. To counteract the conditioning to spend and give children good money management knowledge, teaching kids personal finance lessons becomes essential.
The National Financial Educators Council (NFEC) offers personal finance instruction for kids. Their comprehensive training lays a foundation for building positive personal finance habits. The NFEC combines project-based learning, hands-on activities, songs, rebus stories, and interactive lesson plans to teach personal finance in a fun, engaging format.
This page provides material for kids between 3 and 10 years old. Those seeking to serve older youth should visit the financial literacy curriculum for high school, middle school, and college students.
Bottom line: Financial habits are formed early. We should begin teaching kids lessons about personal finances when they're very young. If we present kids with practical lessons in formats to which they can easily relate, we'll establish an educational foundation that supports continued financial education training as they mature.
The NFECs' Personal Finance for Kids Curriculum features:
Engaging, Fun, and Interactive Lessons. The NFEC's financial literacy curriculum for kids features activities that engage students in the learning process. Hands-on and project-based learning activities increase retention rates and make the process more enjoyable for kids and teachers alike. The lesson plans focus on creating the positive financial habits and relationships with money that will serve the students well as they mature.
Real World Lesson Plans that Meet Educational Standards. The NFEC's Personal Finance for Kids curriculum was designed to bridge the gap between practical application and theory-based education. During these practical activities, students complete exercises that will improve their financial capabilities.
Age Ranges Served. The material discussed on this page is age-appropriate for kids between 3 and 10 years old. The financial literacy curriculum package comes with two levels of material. Level 1 material is commonly used to teach kids from as early as pre-kindergarten to 2nd grade. And Level 2 material applies to kids who have completed Level 1 material, and for older kids—grades 3-5.
Modular Design. The lesson plans are designed in a modular format to accommodate a variety of schedules. People have presented the material as a camp, afterschool program, in-class training, and various other delivery schedules.
Independent. The NFEC is an independent social enterprise organization and the sole purpose of this material is to improve participants' financial capabilities. Other curricula on the market often indoctrinate children with company brand messaging, which may not serve our kids' best interests.
Topics Covered. The curriculum covers 10 personal finance topic areas: Budgeting, Credit/Debt, Financial Psychology, Skill Development, Income, Risk Management, Social Enterprise, Investments, and Long-Term Planning. Although these topics may sound advanced for kids, the hands-on format makes all the lessons fun for the whole class.
Design Team. The NFEC enlists the support of a highly-qualified Curriculum Advisory Board comprised of award-winning educators, financial professionals, specialists from a variety of financially-related fields, financial education experts and those with an expertise in Teaching Kids About Money. Together, the Curriculum Advisory Board reaches more than a million people globally with personal finance expertise that helps prepare people for the financial real world.

Kids' Personal Finance Curriculum Package
(Level 1 & 2 for ages 3 – 10). Receive a comprehensive financial education package with more than 40 engaging lessons and 10 project-based learning activities that lay the foundation for positive money management habits.

Pre- and post-testing material, quizzes, and surveys. Testing allows you to quantify program success and address any areas where students may lack information.
Consultation. The NFEC support team assists instructors to develop a custom program that fits into the allotted time. The NFEC's Certified Financial Education Professionals can help you choose the lesson plans that best fit your objectives, time requirements, and participant academic level.

64 Zoo LaneComments4
this wiki
64 Zoo Lane is a British-French children's cartoon created by An Vrombaut which was shown on CBBC, CBeebies, and also aired on Noggin and PBS Kids Sprout. It is made by the company Millimages.
It features a 7 year-old girl named Lucy who lives at 64 Zoo Lane, next door to a Zoo. Each night she is told a story by the animals present there. Characters include Georgina the Giraffe, Nelson the Elephant, Tickles and Giggles the Monkeys, Boris the Bear, and Molly the Hippopotamus.
The cartoon emphasizes friendship and responsibility. At the story's end, friendly morals are discussed, then bed-time is declared. Georgina deposits Lucy into bed via the bedroom window (later episodes show Lucy yawning then sleeping soundly in bed; in the original episodes she would be lulled to sleep by the storytelling itself).
Season 1-2Edit
When Vrombaut was ready to animate her giraffe artwork, development for the series has begun. The development was done in Millimages in France. When development was done, the series had its premiere in Cbbc. The series was renewed for a second season in 2003 and ended in 2004. When the second series ended, the series continued its reruns on Cbeebies.
Season 3-4Edit
After the series continued its reruns, Millimages revived the series in Adobe Flash. The main difference is that some characters have different tones. The revival of the series began in 2010 and the series ended in 2013. This series introduces new characters from a new region: Asia. The first resident from Asia to appear is Cassandra the crane.
U.S. BroadcastEdit
The series is also shown in the United States. The series had its first U.S. premiere in the former preschool channel Noggin. Some characters are given American accents. In addition, all words pronounced by British people are given American pronouncing. The first and second series were only broadcast in the U.S. When its run ended in Noggin before Nick Jr. was launched, the series was moved to PBS Kids Sprout. PBS Kids Sprout aired reruns from Season 1 and 2. However, the series ended its broadcast on 2013 of September. Since the program is not currently on air, four episodes can be viewed on demand. Season 3 and 4 have yet to start airing on the U.S..

Stocks fall as investors wait on Washington
Wednesday - 10/9/2013, 1:50am EDT
AP Markets Writer
NEW YORK (AP) -- The stock market's slow bleed got a little worse Tuesday.
The decline is the result of squabbling in Washington over raising the nation's debt limit and a government shutdown that has dragged on for more than a week. The stock market's moderate losses in the first days of the shutdown have accelerated this week as the U.S. has moved closer to an Oct. 17 deadline for lifting the government's borrowing authority.
Stocks opened flat, moved steadily lower and slumped in the final minutes of trading Tuesday. The loss added to a three-week decline that has knocked the Standard & Poor's 500 index down 4 percent since it hit a record high on Sept. 18.
Swings in the market will likely increase the closer the U.S. gets to the debt deadline without a resolution, said Randy Frederick, Managing Director of Active Trading and Derivatives at the Schwab Center for Financial Research.
"Virtually everyone expects that there will some sort of a resolution," Frederick said. "But I wouldn't be surprised if it only came right before the last minute."
The S&P 500 index dropped 20.67 points, or 1.2 percent, to 1,655.45. It was the biggest one-day drop for the index since Aug. 20. The declines were led by phone companies.
House Republicans have insisted that a temporary funding bill include concessions on President Barack Obama's health care law. The president wants a bill to simply reopen the government, without strings attached.
Obama said he had told House Speaker John Boehner he's willing to negotiate with Republicans on their priorities, but not under the threat of "economic chaos." Speaking at a press briefing in Washington Tuesday, the president warned that the U.S. risked a "very deep recession" if the debt ceiling wasn't raised.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell 159.71 points, or 1.1 percent, to 14,776.53. The Nasdaq composite dropped 75.54 points, or 2 percent, to 3,694.83.
Nervous investors also dumped short-term government debt as they worried that the standoff in Washington could jeopardize the nation's ability to pay its bills, including interest on its debt, as early as next week if Congress doesn't raise the borrowing limit.
The yield on Treasury bills maturing in one month soared to 0.28 percent, hitting its highest level since the 2008 financial crisis. The yield was 0.15 percent the day before and close to zero at the beginning of October.
The yield, which rises as the price of the notes fall, has surged as managers of money-market funds become more wary of holding short-term government debt that matures shortly after the debt deadline.
There were other signs of increasing investor nervousness.
The VIX index, which rises when investors are more concerned about stock fluctuations, climbed to its highest level of the year.
"Unfortunately, we're just held hostage by what's going on in Washington," said Dan Veru, chief investment officer of Palisade Capital Management.
U.S. companies will start reporting earnings for the third quarter in earnest this week, giving investors something else to think about besides Washington.
Aluminum producer Alcoa, which was recently removed from the Dow, said Tuesday that it had swung to a profit in the third quarter, helped by demand from automakers and by cost-cutting moves. The company reported its earnings after the stock market closed.
JPMorgan and Wells Fargo are among companies releasing earnings this week.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury note was little changed at 2.63 percent. The yield on the longer-term note has fallen in the past month, suggesting that investors see any potential default as a short-term phenomenon and are predicting that economic growth will remain subdued in the longer term.
Stocks also slumped the last time that the U.S. came close to hitting its debt ceiling in the summer of 2011.
The S&P 500 dipped 5 percent between the start of July and Aug. 2 of that year, when President Barack Obama signed into a law a bill that raised the debt ceiling and promised more than $2 trillion in cuts to government spending over a decade. Stocks extended their slide after S&P cut its rating on U.S. government debt on Aug. 5.
Analysts point out, though, that the global economy was in a far more fragile state two years ago than it is now. Europe was still in the throes of its debt crisis, the U.S. economy was weaker.
Even so, stocks recovered and ended the year flat. The next year, they rose 13 percent.
On Tuesday, the dollar fell against the euro and rose against the Japanese yen.

8 notes &
I love my wemo in the den that turns on my light at 5am. It uses ifttt.com to turn off the lamp when it sees at school (triggered by my Google calendar.) It turns the lamp on again at sunset and then off at 9am to remind me it is time to stop working and spend time with family. It is amazing how this one visual reminder has made my life easier and helped me focus on goals.
Forbes has recognized IFTTT, the "mother of all mashups".
What is IFTTT you ask?
IFTTT stands for 'If This Then That'. Basically, If you do 'this' then 'that' will happen. Using the apps that we all know and love we can have them to trigger specific responses. Using the WeMo system with IFTTT we can set triggers like: When it is 60 degrees outside turn on the heater, or send me an email if the front door opens (this would be used with the Belkin WeMo + Motion system).
Now, without IFTTT Integration, Jamie Elgie the senior director of new platforms at Belkin told Forbes,"Belkin would have had to create dozens of one-on-one integrations itself. Even more challenging, it would have had to create an interface that included all those different possibilities. "There are users who really want to do a lot with this, and IFTTT enables us to unleash that creativity without messing up the interface for people who want to do simple stuff."
Every Friday you can see some of our favorite IFTTT recipes that might inspire you to create your own.

Credits hospitalist pioneers with helping foster his passion for leadership
by Larry Beresford
New SHM board member Brian Harte, MD, SFHM, traces his passion for leadership in hospital medicine back to his medical residency at the University of California at San Francisco (UCSF) Medical Center, not long after HM pioneer Robert Wachter, MD, MHM, helped coined the term "hospitalist" in a celebrated 1996 New England Journal of Medicine article.
"Scott Flanders was my chief resident and gave me advice about taking my first job," Dr. Harte says. "Andy Auerbach was one of the faculty at UCSF. I worked under Jeff Weise and Steve Pantilat," all of whom are national leaders in the field. Among others, SHM president Shaun Frost, MD, SFHM, FACP, was instrumental in Dr. Harte's career advancement, helping recruit him back to his home state of Ohio, where he was until recently the chief operating officer of Hillcrest Hospital in Mayfield Heights, which is affiliated with Cleveland Clinic.
"I've been fortunate enough to be taken under the wing of a lot of giants in the field—really impressive figures whom I have looked up to as role models," Dr. Harte says.
At Cleveland Clinic, Dr. Harte has worn a number of different hats in a fairly short period of time, quickly advancing from HM department chair to the position he started in April—president of South Pointe Hospital in Warrensville Heights, Ohio, another of the nine community hospitals affiliated with Cleveland Clinic. His experience on that career path, along with a broad range of interests and perspectives, is what he hopes to bring to SHM's board.
"This is a path more hospitalists could be pursuing: physician leadership, hospital and health system leadership, program development. In some cases it means stretching our skills to their capacity and beyond," he says. "At this point, it's not clear what healthcare reform has in store for us. But all of the things we do as hospitalists—leadership, program-building, team—building, clinical care, quality improvement—are very applicable skills that will prepare us for leadership roles."
The Hospitalist newsmagazine reports on issues and trends in hospital medicine. The Hospitalist reaches more than 25,000 hospitalists, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, residents, and medical administrators interested in the practice and business of hospital medicine.

Members of Congress Increasingly Use Revolving Door to Launch Lucrative Lobbying Careers
43 Percent of Lawmakers Who Left Office Since 1998 Have Become Lobbyists, Public Citizen Analysis Shows
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Forty-three percent of members of Congress who left office since 1998 and were eligible to lobby have become lobbyists, indicating that Congress has increasingly become a way station on the path to the lucrative influence-peddling industry, according to a new Public Citizen report released today.
The report, Congressional Revolving Doors: The Journey from Congress to K Street, examines in depth the case of one former member who has done particularly well after going through the revolving door. Just days after he left Congress in 1999 amid allegations of an extramarital affair, former U.S. Rep. Bob Livingston (R-La.) opened a lobbying shop. In the first year he pulled in $1.1 million, even though he was restricted from personally lobbying his former colleagues for a year. (Former members often skirt the lobby prohibition rules by supervising other lobbyists for the first year after leaving Congress.) The next year, after the cooling-off period was lifted, his firm's lobbying revenues more than quadrupled to $4.8 million.
The report, based on hundreds of lobbyist registration documents as well as industry and news media reports, is available at http://www.LobbyingInfo.org, a new Public Citizen Web site launched today and designed to track the influence of special interests in Washington. The Web site contains a searchable database of former federal officials and staff who have passed through the revolving door, Public Citizen investigative reports on lobbying battles waged by industry, detailed summaries of influence-peddling laws and recommendations for reforming the system.
"People used to run for Congress to serve the greater good and help the public," said Public Citizen President Joan Claybrook. "Now Congress has become a way station to wealth. Members use it for job training and networking so they can leave office and cash in on the connections they forged as elected officials. No wonder the public is cynical about whose interests lawmakers are protecting in Washington. Lobbying has become the top career choice for departing members of Congress."
According to the report:
Livingston exemplifies how a member-turned-lobbyist interacts with his former colleagues. In six years, Livingston built his business into the 12th largest non-law lobbying firm in Washington and took in almost $40 million from 1999 through 2004, records show. Among his clients are Turkey, Morocco and the Cayman Islands, which collectively paid his firm $11 million from 2000 to 2004, with $9 million of that coming from Turkey.
Livingston delivered; he helped ensure that a $1 billion supplemental appropriation for Turkey remained intact through the legislative process, despite that country's refusal to allow U.S. troops to use its soil as a staging area for the Iraq invasion. He also helped kill an amendment that would have formally recognized the Armenian genocide that occurred between 1915 and 1923. Turkey has always opposed this recognition.
Livingston, his wife Bonnie and his two political action committees (PACs) also contributed $503,449 to various candidates or their PACs from 2000 through 2004. Some of that money went to people Livingston later lobbied.
"The revolving door is spinning faster than ever," said Frank Clemente, director of Public Citizen's Congress Watch division. "When nearly half the lawmakers in Congress use their position to move into a job that pays so handsomely, it's time to change the system."
In light of the findings, Public Citizen recommends the following reforms:

Together, two separate corporate entities called Public Citizen, Inc. and Public Citizen Foundation, Inc., form Public Citizen. Both entities are part of the same overall organization, and this Web site refers to the two organizations collectively as Public Citizen.
Although the work of the two components overlaps, some activities are done by one component and not the other. The primary distinction is with respect to lobbying activity. Public Citizen, Inc., an IRS § 501(c)(4) entity, lobbies Congress to advance Public Citizen's mission of protecting public health and safety, advancing government transparency, and urging corporate accountability. Public Citizen Foundation, however, is an IRS § 501(c)(3) organization. Accordingly, its ability to engage in lobbying is limited by federal law, but it may receive donations that are tax-deductible by the contributor. Public Citizen Inc. does most of the lobbying activity discussed on the Public Citizen Web site. Public Citizen Foundation performs most of the litigation and education activities discussed on the Web site.
You may make a contribution to Public Citizen, Inc., Public Citizen Foundation, or both. Contributions to both organizations are used to support our public interest work. However, each Public Citizen component will use only the funds contributed directly to it to carry out the activities it conducts as part of Public Citizen's mission. Only gifts to the Foundation are tax-deductible. Individuals who want to join Public Citizen should make a contribution to Public Citizen, Inc., which will not be tax deductible.

I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life. I've learned that making a "living" is not the same thing as making a "life." I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back. I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one.

Goals are a means to an end, not the ultimate purpose of our lives. They are simply a tool to concentrate our focus and move us in a direction. The only reason we really pursue goals is to cause ourselves to expand and grow. Achieving goals by themselves will never make us happy in the long term; it's who you become, as you overcome the obstacles necessary to achieve your goals, that can give you the deepest and most long-lasting sense of fulfillment.

You can just submit them via the submit link via IHC, making it much less likely that I'll forget to post them.
I think so. I don't have a whole lot of time lately, but i'll try.
I looked around and that was from way back when we were on Wordpress and i thought I had the files around, but that was also way back when I was just starting and I was stupid and was deleting folders when they went up instead of keeping a local copy. Short answer is no, sadly.
yup, that was me.
Were they on the little kangaroo?
Netherlands vs. Uruguay. Please Netherlands, beat the holy immortal hell out of Uruguay. You saw what they did to Ghana and that was some serious bullshit.
3-1 Holland!
Oh shit, Uruguay almost did the impossible and came back 2 goals down at the last minute. Final: 2-3 Holland. I'm still hoping for a Netherlands-Germany final so that I can use the "Netherlands and Germany fight over South Africa, not a repeat." on Fark.
So I just got back from NYC last night, and I had originally planned on updating with a journal entry for each of the two days I was there plus the drive up there and back, but it ended up being such an insane whirlwind trip that I never got a chance to or I was just dead tired.
So the other day, I was walking the dog and I passed by this unoccupied house that I always pass by when I walk the dog and in one most of the windows there are old, abandoned knick-knacks and paintings and junk and I've always wondered what sort of cool stuff is in there that someone left.
And it reminded me of this thing I invented on paper when I was a kid, probably around 8 years old, before I realized that crime has real consequences and I'm too much of a wuss for prison.
So when the iPad came out, I like many other naysayers enjoyed talking shit about the device. No multitasking, no USB port, no camera, no Flash etc. But, a friend of mine recently got an iPad 3G and decided to sell his Wi-Fi iPad for cheaper than one could get it in a store with tax etc and so I bit and bought it from him.
So me and Delsyd made a trip to the BIG Asian market in the Cary, NC area today. I told my wife I would try to not buy as much candy this time, which I did, sort of. I did get 2 boxes of Pocky (chocolate cheesecake and chocolate cookie crumb… holy shit good), but I mainly just got beverages.
So today I had a wisdom tooth pulled, which is the first time I've had anything like that done. I guess it wasn't too bad thanks to the wonders of Vicodin. This picture below was taken while I was waiting for the lidocaine to fully kick in. I honestly think I would have preferred to be gassed— just knock me the fuck out and wake me up when it's done. Instead, even though I couldn't feel anything, I could hear the took cracking and popping as they ripped it out of my skull and that was a little unnerving.
So for lunch today, I had a craving to go down to the local KFC and try the famous Double Down. I didn't take any pictures of the thing as so many people seem to be doing, but it pretty much looked like the above photo.
I don't know about where you live, but here in Cary, NC, this spring so far has been a god damn pollen apocalypse. I normally don't have any pollen allergies, but the last few days, my eyes have been watering and going outside is like going into a pollen dust storm.
Earlier today, me and Delsyd went to Southern Season in Chapel Hill, and outside there were a couple guys with owls, promoting some sort of owl rescue.
Delsyd and I went to IHOP for lunch today, because IHOP is good for breakfast, lunch, dinner or any time in between… and on the way out, I noticed that on the second half of their "Kids Eat Free" window stick-ons, they've got some incorrect apostrophe use.
Why is this so fucking hard for some people? Apostrophe S is for possessive ONLY, not for plural. First fucking grade, remember?
Delsyd sent me these photos several days ago and I was waiting for him to do a journal post about it, but he never did so fuck it I'll do it. He was on his lunch break and came across this car on fire on highway 147 in Durham, NC and took a couple pics with his phone. That looks nasty.
I was outside, and in a wet spot of parking lot… BEHOLD… the pissed off face of Orson Welles. What does it mean?
Me and my wife just got back from getting brand new tattoos at Blue Flame Tattoo in Raleigh. This was my second and her first. My first tattoo I got when I was 18 with the idea that over the next several years I would fill up both arms, but I'm 31 now and that hasn't happened, so I figured that I'd better start.
This is the tattoo I got… it's the black mage from the original Final Fantasy. I got the idea from some guy on Kotaku a couple years ago. For more tattoos on my right arm, I'd like to do a whole 8-bit collage as long as I don't drive the tattoo artist crazy with pixels. This was taken when I got home, so the lighting isn't all that great and the colors are much brighter for right now in real life. The tattoo is on my right forearm.

just saw this movie. It's a little bit complicated and a lot of questions are left unanswered but it was a beautiful, enjoyable film, with great acting and brilliant cinematography. It's the first time I really appreciate the slow pace of a film.
Sorrentino's follow up to Il Divo, my favourite film. Still a little reserved about it, but chances are I'll love it.
Probably the weirdest film we caught at last years Cinecity Film Festival. THIS MUST BE PLACE will be at The Duke's...

text: Resist the hype to embrace online training for your employees. While computer-based training has its advantages (such as travel cost savings and self-study customization), your participants lose the human dimension that's vital to many training topics. Subjects such as communication and people management skills, team building and diversity require live, face-to-face interaction to produce best results. What's more, limits on bandwidth can cause slower performance for sound, video and graphics, thus testing a trainee's patience. Also, accept that any computer- based training will require more time and money upfront than you'll expect, because start-up problems are common. The good news: Once you get a program up and running, aggravations should die down.

USA Today [1]: Boomers' eagerness to retire could cost them
David Certner, director of federal affairs for AARP, doesn't think that retiring boomers will suffer cuts in benefits, either.
"We think Social Security benefits, particularly for those at or near retirement, are well-financed and will be there," he says.
BusinessWeek [2]: Starting a Business Instead of Retiring
About 20% of the entire over-50 workforce in the U.S. is self-employed, and one-third of those workers made the transition to self-employment after turning 50, according to a 2007 RAND Corp. study commissioned by AARP. Switching to entrepreneurship is one way retirees stay active, says Deborah Russell, the AARP's director of workforce issues. But she says people must know what they're getting into: "For those who have not done this before, they may have a false expectation that working for yourself also means less stress and less demand, and it may be in fact the exact opposite."
USA Today [3]: State lawmakers wrestle with abusive lending
The people targeted for complicated high-interest loans have expanded from first-time minority homeowners and low-income elderly to include middle-class borrowers, AARP attorney Nina Simon says.
"There are extraordinary numbers of these (cases) all over the country, says AARP lawyer Jean Constantine-Davis, who handles many of the complaints that come to the advocacy group for retired people.
Wall Street Journal [4]: The New Recruits: Older Workers
Employers who ignore older workers now will suffer as boomers near retirement age, says Melanie Cosgrove Holmes, a vice president at Manpower. By 2012, nearly one in three U.S. workers will be over 50, according to AARP, a group for people age 50 and older. "Progressive companies that are looking ahead…are the ones that are going to be most successful," Ms. Holmes says.

Moments with You Couples Devotional 4/27
The Heat in the Kitchen
Do not be eager in your heart to be angry, for anger resides in the bosom of fools. ECCLESIASTES 7:9
We had asked two of our teenagers to clean the kitchen together. The first time I inspected their work, I found them arguing about who had done the most. I asked them kindly to keep working.
When I returned, they were bickering about who should sweep the floor. I intervened, got them quieted down and encouraged them to finish the job. Finally—the third time—after I'd inspected their halfhearted, mediocre work, they gave me the lame excuse that they didn't really know what a clean kitchen should look like! My teenagers had been overtaken by some alien from another planet who had never seen a kitchen, let alone a clean one! That did it. This normally unflappable dad flipped. I went on a tirade about how disrespectful and disobedient they were. I flung a handy box of tissues at their feet in a burst of unsanctified rage.
Then I stormed out the front door, slamming it shut behind me. Standing there on the front porch, two profound thoughts came to me. The first: It's really cold out here. Why are they in there warm? I own this house—they don't! But the second thought pierced me in places deeper than the cold could reach: My anger has gotten the best of me, and I'm acting like a foolish child. I don't recall the exact words of the apology I gave to my children. But I do recall coming to an important realization: If I'm going to help these kids grow up emotionally and know how to appropriately express their anger, then I need to grow up myself. God never said we shouldn't get angry. But He did warn us not to let anger turn into sin. Or as Proverbs 14:29 cautions, "He who is slow to anger has great understanding, but he who is quickly-tempered exalts folly" (see also James 1:19).
What specific situations have set you off lately? See if you can isolate the main culprits and flashpoints. What is it that makes you lose it?
Pray that your heart will not be eager to be angry, that being "slow to anger" will be more your speed.

"This trial is not simply the prosecution of a 25-year-old soldier who had the temerity to report to the outside world the indiscriminate slaughter, war crimes, torture and abuse that are carried out by our government and our occupation forces in Iraq and Afghanistan. It is a concerted effort by the security and surveillance state to extinguish what is left of a free press, one that has the constitutional right to expose crimes by those in power."

Cyndi is a hefty girl, weighing in at 2,257 lbs.
Normally found near Cape Town coast, this great white shark has been bitten by the travel bug.
Since November, she's zipped past Mauritius, Reunion Island and Madagascar.
Further south you'll find Louis Antonio, a mature male weighing in at 909 lbs.
He's not the globe-trotting type, preferring to stay near the St. Lucian coast.
These are just two of the nearly three dozen sharks you can keep an eye on with the OCEARCH global shark tracker.
Members of the non-profit organization fitted the sharks with a battery-operated GPS tag on their dorsal fin.
When the fin reaches the surface, the tag switches on and beams information about temperature, depth and ocean salinity to satellites, which is then posted online.
When the shark re-submerges, the tracker clicks off.
The purpose of the project is to promote conservation efforts, while raising public awareness about shark populations, many of which are under threat.
Approximately one-third of all shark species are endangered, mainly due to over-fishing.
If you'd like to do more than just watch, you can become an active participant by sending OCEARCH a donation.
