Grand Old Tea Party
The insurgents meet the insiders.
Mar 1, 2010, Vol. 15, No. 23 • By MARY KATHARINE HAM
In the case of the Contract From America, Hecker and California activist Scott Graves seem to have walked a line remarkably well, offering a loosely organized movement some direction without destroying enthusiasm by declaring a list of principles from on high. Thousands of tea party activists submitted policy ideas, the most popular of which could be voted on at the contract website. In the end, the wisdom of crowds created a list of 22 mostly sober and some specific policy ideas, including sunset provisions for regulations, term limits, and rules for greater government transparency. That list will be whittled down to a top 10 in another open, online voting process.
"The process is what's new," said Graves, who spent hours programming ContractFromAmerica.org in his spare time. "The right generally has done a . . . horrible job of presenting anything online, but I think some of the right has picked up on the lessons of 2008."
Indeed, ContractFromAmerica.org is a sophisticated looking site, with the potential to empower rank-and-file tea partiers on matters of substance in a way that even Obama supporters admit his famously people-powered campaign was not able to do. The left-leaning Micah Sifry, cofounder of Personal Democracy Forum, noted that while the Obama campaign marketed itself as "people-centric," it "shared tasks with its supporters but didn't share power." A grassroots movement that is not yoked to a presidential campaign will likely be better suited to do that.
But the independence of the tea party movement, and of individual tea party chapters is important, West Chester, Penn., activist Rich Davis told me, because the tea partiers aren't all anti-Obama all the time—a point the national news media often miss.
Davis, a Navy veteran wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with an eagle, "Limited Government," and "In God We Trust," said he's making change happen in his hometown, where an 8-1 left-leaning majority on the local school board was shrunk to a 5-4 advantage for Democrats in the November elections thanks to tea party activism.
"We're getting smart," he said, explaining that knowledge of the local Republican party's committee and endorsement system had allowed conservatives to pick up dozens of vacant spots within the party organization.
Davis began his political activism as a lone counter-protester to the Chester County Peace Movement about two years ago. Standing on the side of a local intersection, homemade sign in hand, he said he first heard the silent majority.
"We were getting a lot of honks, a lot of support," he said. "To turn the honks into votes, we needed to get involved."
Standing alongside a grassroots activist in full tri-cornered patriot regalia, Grover Norquist of Americans for Tax Reform echoed Davis's emphasis on the local.
"These are all ideas that can be done on the national level . . . which is good," Norquist said of the Contract From America. "But they're also ideas that can happen at a state legislative level. There are 513,000 local elected officials in this country. This can be a platform for officials to run in 513,000 elections, not just congressional elections."
Last April 15, when I spoke to North Carolina conservative Ben Hobbs after the first large tea party event, he said what a lot of conservatives were thinking about activism in the wake of Obama's election.
"I might become a little conservative ACORN," he said, referring to the network of leftist "community organizers." "I don't want to be just like them. We can do it politely, but we've got to do more," Hobbs said.
If the tea partiers at CPAC and the attention they're garnering are any indication, "newbies" like Hecker and Davis have learned quickly.

From Palaeos.org
Kelp' are included among tha algae. They are very large Eukaryote plants. Kelp are large seaweeds (algae) belonging to the brown algae (class Phaeophyceae) and are classified as the order Laminariales. There are about 300 different genera. Some species can be very long and form kelp forests.
Kelp fisheries is a branch of fisheries science that deals with the study of and uses of large seaweeds of the brown algae group that are commonly called kelp.
Kelp grows in underwater "forests" (kelp forests) in shallow oceans. It requires nutrient-rich water below about 20 °C (68 °F). It is known for its high growth rate — the genera Macrocystis and Nereocystis grow as fast as half a meter a day, ultimately reaching 30 to 80 m.<ref name="Thomas 02">Thomas, D. 2002. Seaweeds. The Natural History Museum, London, p. 15. ISBN 0 565 09175 1</ref>
Through the 19th century, the word "kelp" was closely associated with seaweeds that could be burned to obtain soda ash (primarily sodium carbonate). The seaweeds used included species from both the orders Laminariales and Fucales. The word "kelp" was also used directly to refer to these processed ashes.<ref>"Kelp," in Oxford English Dictionary (Second Edition). Oxford University Press, 1989. Retrieved 1 December 2006</ref>
In most kelp, the thallus (or body) consists of flat or leaf-like structures known as blades. Blades originate from elongated stem-like structures, the stipes. The holdfast, a root-like structure, anchors the kelp to the substrate of the ocean. Gas-filled bladders (pneumatocysts) form at the base of blades of American species, such as Nereocystis lueteana (Mert. & Post & Rupr.)<ref name="Thomas 02" /> and keep the kelp blades close to the surface, holding up the blades by the gas they contain.
Growth and reproduction
Growth occurs at the base of the meristem, where the blades and stipe meet. Growth may be limited by grazing. Sea urchins, for example, can reduce entire areas to urchin barrens. The kelp life cycle involves a diploid sporophyte and haploid gametophyte stage. The haploid phase begins when the mature organism releases many spores, which then germinate to become male or female gametophytes. Sexual reproduction then results in the beginning of the diploid sporophyte stage, which will develop into a mature individual.
Commercial usesBongo kelp ash is rich in iodine and alkali. In great amount, kelp ash can be used in soap and glass production. Until the Leblanc process was commercialized in the early 1800s, burning of kelp in Scotland was one of the principal industrial sources of soda ash (predominantly sodium carbonate).<ref name="Clow 52">Clow, Archibald and Clow, Nan L. (1952). Chemical Revolution. Ayer Co Pub, June 1952, pp. 65–90. ISBN 0-8369-1909-2</ref> Alginate, a kelp-derived carbohydrate, is used to thicken products such as ice cream, jelly, salad dressing, and toothpaste, as well as an ingredient in exotic dog food and in manufactured goods
Kelp is also used frequently in seaweed fertiliser, especially in the Channel Islands, where it is known as vraic.
Kombu (Saccharina japonica and others), several Pacific species of kelp, is a very important ingredient in Japanese cuisine. Kombu is used to flavor broths and stews (especially dashi), as a savory garnish (tororo konbu) for rice and other dishes, as a vegetable, and a primary ingredient in popular snacks (such as tsukudani). Transparent sheets of kelp (oboro konbu) are used as an edible decorative wrapping for rice and other foods.<ref>Kazuko, Emi: Japanese Cooking, p. 78, Hermes House, 2002, p. 78. ISBN 0-681-32327-2</ref>
Kombu can be used to soften beans during cooking, and to help convert indigestible sugars and thus reduce flatulence.<ref>Graimes, Nicola: The Best-Ever Vegetarian Cookbook, Barnes & Noble Books, 1999, p. 59. ISBN 0-7607-1740-0</ref>
Because of its high concentration of iodine, brown kelp (Laminaria) has been used to treat goiter, an enlargement of the thyroid gland caused by a lack of iodine, since medieval times.<ref>Iodine Helps Kelp Fight Free Radicals and May Aid Humans, Too Newswise, Retrieved on July 8, 2008.</ref>
In 2010 a group of researchers in the University of Newcastle found that a fibrous material called algenate in sea kelp was better at preventing fat absorption than most over-the-counter slimming treatments in laboratory trials. As a food additive it could be maybe used to reduce fat absorption and thus obesity.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
As a possible renewable energy source
See also: Biomass energy, Algae fuel
Kelp has a high rate of growth and its decay is quite efficient in yielding methane, as well as sugars that can be converted to ethanol. It has been proposed that large open-ocean kelp farms could serve as a source of renewable energy.<ref>www.biomassmagazine.com/article.jsp?article_id=2166</ref> Unlike some biofuels such as corn ethanol, kelp energy avoids "food vs fuel" issues and does not require irrigation.
Kelp in history and culture
During the Highland Clearances, many Scottish Highlanders were moved off their crofts, and went to industries such as fishing and kelping (producing soda ash from the ashes of kelp). At least until the 1820s, when there were steep falls in the price of kelp, landlords wanted to create pools of cheap or virtually free labour, supplied by families subsisting in new crofting townships. Kelp collection and processing was a very profitable way of using this labour, and landlords petitioned successfully for legislation designed to stop emigration. But the economic collapse of the kelp industry in northern Scotland led to further emigration, especially to North America.
Natives of the Falkland Islands are sometimes nicknamed "Kelpers"<ref>[1] allwords.com definition for "Kelper",</ref><ref>[2] dictionary.com definition for "Kelper"</ref>. The name is primarily applied by outsiders rather than the natives themselves.
ConservationOverfishing nearshore ecosystems leads to the degradation of kelp forests. Herbivores are released from their usual population regulation, leading to over-grazing of kelp and other algae. This can quickly result in barren landscapes where only a small number of species can thrive.

Commercial kelp production in China
Laminaria japonica, the important commercial seaweed, was first introduced into China in the late 1920s from Hokkaido, Japan. Commercial production of kelp harvested from its natural habitat took place in Japan for over a century. Yet mariculture of this algae on a very large commercial scale was realized in China only in the 1950s. Between the 1950s and the 1980s kelp production in China increased from about 60 to over 250,000 dry weight metric tons annually, making China the largest producer of Laminaria.

The Audi A3 range is set to grow in 2014, with the addition of an extreme RS3 model and a plug-in hybrid e-tron version, Auto Express has learned.
The RS3 will be four-wheel drive and is expected to be powered by a five-cylinder turbocharged engine, just like the outgoing RS3. Expect to see a lower kerbweight, though, and power that surpasses the 335bhp figure on offer in the current model.
Even the all-new S3 (pictured above) produces 296bhp from a 2.0-litre turbocharged engine, so it's reasonable to expect nearer to 400bhp from the new RS3.
Around the same time the RS3 is released, Audi will also release a plug-in hybrid e-tron variant. Although exact details of the powertrain have yet to be revealed, it's likely to be similar to that featured in the Audi A3 e-tron concept unveiled at the 2011 Shanghai Motor Show.
That car used a 1.4-litre turbo petrol engine and an electric motor for a total of 234bhp. The production A3 e-tron is likely to offer a little less performance but, like the concept, the road car should be able to run on electric power alone for around 30 miles, thanks to its lithium ion batteries.
Pointless, Hybrids were good at a time when batteries were not good enough, they are good enough now and who drives more then 60-100 miles a day ? so why bother with a complex hybrid that will cost a fortune to fix if it ever breaks out or warranty. There is a lot to say for the simplicity of an full battery electric vehicle. I wouldn't pay the premium VAG would charge me for it because they are couldn't eb bothered to offer full electric vehicles, we all know the Germans want Hydrogen but the facts remain battery cars are good enough for most of us now.
Let's take a Golf tart it up for the 100th time, call it premium, invest a lot in marketing and this is the automotive equivalent of McDonald's you get. Lucky for VW group that the punters put up with this ripoff.
I thought the big problems with battery powered cars were that the batteries are very heavy, expensive and only last around 5 years (With the range you get from a full charge reducing from day 1).
Replacing the batteries costs £3000-£5000. As a result battery powered cars depreciate in value far faster than normal cars.
In summary they cost more, weight more, depreciate more and after 5 years you get a massive bill for replacement batteries.
Sure some companies lease their batteries, but you're still paying at least as much overall, its just spread over a longer period.
Who drives more than 60 to 100 miles a day? Well I do and so do most of my colleagues and friends. Batteries are fine for local running around but of no good whatsoever for business or for an active family. Good luck when you get home with a flat battery and need to go out or there is an emergency. Technology needs to advance a lot further before I would even consider anything other than the good old internal combustion engine.
Tarted up golf. Still, if you can afford it why not. Do you have a golf little man. lve had 5, step up, go better.

A trending focal point for wedding centerpieces and welcoming garden arrangements, air plants are leaving the soil behind to add texture and glee anywhere they're placed. After a discussion on our Facebook page, air plant care seemed to be a topic of interest so Annette Gutierrez came to the rescue of our epiphyte friends with these tips to keep in mind when you can't help but take home every one you come across.
- Air plants (or Tillandsias) are epiphytes, which mean they don't need soil.
- They take their nutrients up through their leaves and not through the little tendrils that are often found underneath. Those tendrils are actually used by the plant to hook onto branches or bark to anchor them, which is why they can be cut off without hurting the plant in any way (or even glue them on to an arrangement).
- Their natural environment is usually hanging sideways, so it's best to display them in the same way so they don't hold water in their centers which will make them rot.
- If you want to display them sitting flat, just remember to shake the water out.
- They like bright, filtered light, much like the tree canopies they originate from. For outside air plants, keep in bright, non-direct light.
- SOAK them every 7-10 days for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight and then turn them over after to dry out (or give them a good shake).
- Grey leafed or very bulbous varieties need soaking less...more like once every two weeks.
- If the leaves are curling at the end, soak them immediately.
- If kept inside, watering is more important because there is less natural humidity due to heaters, air conditioners, etc.
- Epiphyte food or liquid sea kelp can be added to the soaking water to give them a little boost during the growing season.
- They would prefer (as would all houseplants) distilled water.

I think it was good he was upfront about being in other "adult" situations. There is nothing wrong with dating around when you are not being exclusive with someone. Obviously OP, he thinks you are worth giving up extra booty for. Like I said, you should just make sure that he is tested for STD's-go with him, and you BOTH can be tested together. Also, make sure if this girl is going to be around. Some people really do try to maintain the "friends" part from a previous FWB, and for some people that's not acceptable. It's better to be on the same page at the beginning of the relationship. I think its admirable you havn't slept with him yet. I mean, to each his own, but when you think about it, a month isn't that long, and there is nothing wrong with waiting a bit.

I think it was pretty honest & upfront of him, but some things are just TMI. He should have just broken it off w/ her & not shared all of that with you. (Obviously, it was starting to wear on him. At least he has a bit of conscience.) Unless, he was worried that some point, in the much later future, it would come back to haunt him. So, maybe he really thinks a lot of you!

I can only speak for myself, but I think that scarcity brings value. It's about more then just sex to me. Plus I just don't believe that a few weeks is long enough to get to know a guy in any meaningful way, particularly as they tend to be on their best behavior in the hopes that they can get into your pants that soon anyways. I think someone picking up a loser because they can't hack it on their own has more to do with their ability to be on their own then it has to do with sexual tension. I mean vibrators aren't that expensive these days.

I guess so many years of marriage have made me forget what it was like before having a constant sex partner. I honestly don't understand why people would wait longer than a few weeks, since that should be plenty of time to determine if they're worth further commitment. In my experience & watching all my friends, sexual tension f@cks up so much in people's lives - they pick up a loser bc they don't want to be without someone anymore, they get all stressed out & cranky, strains all their social interactions, sends mixed signals to their partner, and so on. So why put off sex more than you have to?

Holly brought up a really good point. While I agree that it was tasteless/insensitive to even bring it up, the only way I would make a big deal out of this is if this is a girl that they will have to interact with as a couple. I would probably freak out a little in that case. And BiWife, everyone is entitled to their own choices when it comes to sex, but I (and most of my girlfriends) would NEVER sleep with a guy after dating only a month. And I'm 23, not 15. You make it sounds like an aberration to not immediately fall into bed.

Sorry typo "in love with".
searching-soul 4 years
A little insensitive of him to tell you. Unless he had a serious girlfriend it's none of your business who he was hooking up with before you guys became exclusive. His only obligation to you is to end whatever else he had going, with some level of integrity. Anything else is TMI. He sounds like he really likes you though so it's forgivable. As for him having an FWB, most guys have slept with a female or two that they were not on love with. That's just being a guy, it does'nt make him a bad person.
BiWife 4 years
Why wouldn't you sleep together after dating for a month? Unless the OP is 15 or something, of course

I don't see a problem here. But it would make sense to distance yourself from him a little bit until he has his arrangements all worked out. You don't want to give him the impression that you're okay with him bringing entanglements into your relationship.
BiWife 4 years
Maybe I'm odd, but I'd assume that if you'd been dating for a month, you'd be shagging by then & it would be cheating (sort of) to be shagging two girls at the same time without their knowing of one another. It's a big STI issue more than anything else tho.
kurniakasih 4 years
BettyWayne, you got a good point, I was thinking that as well (why does he need to tell her about his fwb, it's really none of her business whom he was banging before they got exclusive and it'll create confusion on her part to the point she'll write on an online forum :D). However, yah, perhaps this new guy think that it's better to be open about this. Because if you, OP, found out about the fwb later on (and he's never mentioned her before), it'll create distrust, drama etc, down the road while you guys are already serious. Perhaps he thinks it's just better to lay all his cards on the table beforehand although it does sound tasteless on his part. Perhaps he's learned in the past with an ex-gf how hiding/not telling/omission created more trouble than what he wanted....That's my good/positive guess. Or he's just tasteless as heck. Only you, OP, can really tell. Good luck and oh yah, you guys need to talk about STI test (he can get one and you can get one) before you guys jump to bed and always be safe! Good luck.

He seems to be very honest. Look, people should not make assumptions about exclusivity--there is no exclusivity in a relationship until there has been an official agreement. People are not mind readers, and so that's the only fair way to do things (I know we wish men could read minds, but they don't, and the sooner we accept that, the easier our relationships become) . If he's telling you he wants to break things off with this girl for you, then it sounds like he's being completely on the level with you, which is a quality you should value.

It is a wonderful initiative that he is taking. He is a great person to take your and obviuosly his feelings also into consideration to leave his FWB. He could've been selfish and kept his FWB as a side piece, so I say not to worry about anything. You have someone very special in your hands( :
kurniakasih 4 years
I agree with the ladies, I think it's very cool that he can be open and honest with you (in regards of his fwb). I appreciate that kind of honesty esp. when dating. What bothers you though? Is it that he used to have a fwb (not fitting your moral standard) or if he's having sex with her when you guys are seeing each other? It all boils down to your dealbreakers/preference, good luck thinking things :)
popgoestheworld 4 years
Sounds like he's an open and honest guy. Personally, I don't think that having a FWB is a big deal. I've had sex before and not been in love. It wasn't the ideal situation, but we were safe and had some fun. I think that is pretty common. However, the bottom line is that this is important if it's important to YOU. I mean, we all have different morals and world views. What matters to me might not matter to you and vice versa. If you're uncomfortable with him having slept with someone he wasn't in love with, you have to acknowledge it and deal with it. What about it makes you uncomfortable? Do you think it makes him a bad person? Anyway, hope you sort things out.

He sounds like a great guy. You're a lucky girl. Don't over think his past. He has been completely open with you about everything. He initiated "the talk" and he was honest about having an FWB. I think that his FWB is the least of your worries. Consider the fact that he was only sleeping with one girl rather than hitting the clubs and hooking up with a different girl every weekend. FWBs are the safest way for a guy to get NSA sex. I have had a few FWBs in my lifetime and it was always much safer. We knew the other was clean, we used protection, I was usually aware if he was sleeping with other women so I knew the risks. Much better than hooking up with a stranger. If you're worried about him having feelings for his FWB... he doesn't. If he did, he would be in a relationship with her instead of going exclusive with you. You have nothing to worry about. Enjoy your new relationship! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out my new site at www.sillybitchtherapy.com for more advice and information about sex, love and everything in between.
Rory1225 4 years
If he is breaking it off with her to be with you I don't think you have anything to worry about. He wants to be with you not her. While I too would not have a FWB because I just couldn't emotionally, it doesn't bother me if people have had one in the past, as long as they are with me now.

This July, Ballet British Columbia appointed Emily Molnar—one of the company's stars in the 1990s and now an esteemed choreographer—as its interim artistic director.

What are these medications used for?
Leukotriene modifiers (LTMs) are medications designed to block a chemical mediator in our body (leukotrienes) that causes mucous production, swelling of the lining of the sinuses and lungs, spasm of the lungs, and recruitment of cells that contribute to allergic inflammation. Some LTMs work by blocking production of leukotrienes while others block the receptor for the inflammatory mediators.
LTMs are approved to treat both nasal allergies and asthma. LTMs are available in the form of a pill or chewable tablet. There is, however, one LTM that also comes as granules that can be mixed in food for young children.
Currently available LTMs are:
How should you take this medication?
Take this medication exactly as instructed by your physician. LTMs are used as a preventative for allergy or asthma symptoms and therefore should be taken daily.
Adverse reactions, interactions, special warnings
Montelukast (Singulair) is well tolerated, can be taken with most other medications, and has a very good safety profile.
Zafirlukast (Accolate) has been associated with liver damage on rare occasions. If Accolate is taken concurrently with certain other medications, the effects of either drug could be increased, decreased, or altered. It is especially important to check with your doctor before combining Accolate with the following:
Blood-thinning drugs such as Coumadin
Carbamazepine (Tegretol)
Cyclosporine (Sandimmune, Neoral)
Heart and blood pressure medications called calcium channel blockers, including Calan, Cardizem, and Procardia
Phenytoin (Dilantin)
Theophylline (Theo-Dur, others)
Tolbutamide (Orinase)
Although rare, Zileuton (Zyflo) has been associated with elevations in liver function tests. All patients should have liver functions checked before they start this medication, as well as periodically during its use. If zileuton (Zyflo) is taken with certain other drugs, the effects of either could be increased or altered. It is especially important to check with your doctor before combining zileuton (Zyflo) with the following:

Series of Unfortunate Events #10: The Slippery Slopeby Lemony Snicket
Chapter One
A man of my acquaintance once wrote a poem called "The Road Less Traveled," describing a journey he took through the woods along a path most travelers never used. The poet found that the road less traveled was peaceful but quite lonely, and he was probably a bit nervous as he went along, because if anything happened on the road less traveled, the other travelers would be on the road more frequently traveled and so couldn't hear him as he cried for help. Sure enough, that poet is now dead.
Like a dead poet, this book can be said to be on the road less traveled, because it begins with the three Baudelaire children on a path leading through the Mortmain Mountains, which is not a popular destination for travelers, and it ends in the churning waters of the Stricken Stream, which few travelers even go near. But this book is also on the road less traveled, because unlike books most people prefer, which provide comforting and entertaining tales about charming people and talking animals, the tale you are reading now is nothing but distressing and unnerving, and the people unfortunate enough to be in the story are far more desperate and frantic than charming, and I would prefer to not speak about the animals at all. For that reason, I can no more suggest the reading of this woeful book than I can recommend wandering around the woods by yourself, because like the road less traveled, this book is likely to make you feel lonely, miserable, and in need of help.
The Baudelaire orphans, however, had no choice but to be on the road less traveled. Violet and Klaus, the two elder Baudelaires, were in a caravan, traveling very quickly along the high mountain path. Neither Violet, who was fourteen, nor Klaus, who had recently turned thirteen, had ever thought they would find themselves on this road, except perhaps with their parents on a family vacation. But the Baudelaire parents were nowhere to be found after a terrible fire destroyed their home — although the children had reason to believe that one parent may not have died in the blaze after all — and the caravan was not heading up the Mortmain Mountains, toward a secret headquarters the siblings had heard about and were hoping to find. The caravan was heading down the Mortmain Mountains, very quickly, with no way to control or stop its journey, so Violet and Klaus felt more like fish in a stormy sea than travelers on a vacation.
But Sunny Baudelaire was in a situation that could be said to be even more desperate. Sunny was the youngest Baudelaire, still learning to speak in a way that everyone could understand, so she scarcely had words for how frightened she was. Sunny was traveling uphill, toward the headquarters in the Mortmain Mountains, in an automobile that was working perfectly, but the driver of the automobile was a man who was reason enough for being terrified. Some people called this man wicked. Some called him facinorous, which is a fancy word for "wicked." But everyone called him Count Olaf, unless he was wearing one of his ridiculous disguises and making people call him a false name. Count Olaf was an actor, but he had largely abandoned his theatrical career to try to steal the enormous fortune the Baudelaire parents had left behind. Olaf's schemes to get the fortune had been mean-spirited and particularly complicated, but nevertheless he had managed to attract a girlfriend, a villainous and stylish woman named Esmé Squalor, who was sitting next to Count Olaf in the car, cackling nastily and clutching Sunny on her lap. Also in the car were several employees of Olaf's, including a man with hooks instead of hands, two women who liked to wear white powder all over their faces, and three new comrades Olaf had recently recruited at Caligari Carnival. The Baudelaire children had been at the carnival, too, wearing disguises of their own, and had pretended to join Count Olaf in his treachery, but the villain had seen through their ruse, a phrase which here means "realized who they really were, and cut the knot attaching the caravan to the car, leaving Sunny in Olaf's clutches and her siblings tumbling toward their doom." Sunny sat in the car and felt Esmé's long fingernails scratch her shoulders, and worried about what would happen to her and what was happening to her older siblings, as she heard their screams getting fainter and fainter as the car drove farther and farther away.
"We have to stop this caravan!" Klaus screamed. Hurriedly, he put on his glasses, as if by improving his vision he might improve the situation. But even in perfect focus, he could see their predicament was dire. The caravan had served as a home for several performers at the carnival's House of Freaks before they defected — a word which here means "joined Count Olaf's band of revolting comrades " — and now the contents of this tiny home were rattling and crashing with each bump in the road. Klaus ducked to avoid a roasting pan, which Hugo the hunchback had used to prepare meals and which had toppled off a shelf in the commotion. He lifted his feet from the floor as a set of dominoes skittered by — a set that Colette the contortionist had liked to play with. And he squinted above him as a hammock swung violently overhead. An ambidextrous person named Kevin used to sleep in that hammock until he had joined Olaf's troupe, along with Hugo and Colette, and now it seemed like it might fall at any moment and trap the Baudelaires beneath it.
The only comforting thing that Klaus could see was his sister, who was looking around the caravan with a fierce and thoughtful expression and unbuttoning the shirt the two siblings were sharing as part of their disguise...

UNDP to double its support for disaster reduction
Date: 15 Aug 2012
Source(s): United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNISDR)
GENEVA, 15 August 2012 - UNDP Administrator, Helen Clark, said today the agency intends to double its overall support for disaster reduction over the next five years and will add five countries per year to the "growing list of countries on track to becoming champions in disaster resilience."
In a major policy speech which follows the launch by UNISDR of consultations on a replacement for the Hyogo Framework for Action, the international agreement on disaster risk reduction which expires in 2015, Ms. Clark said the post-Hyogo discussions need to link to other processes.
"2015 is the date for achieving most of the Millennium Development Goal targets which have guided international development since 2000. Disaster risk reduction needs to become central to mainstream development planning and action, and be reflected in discussions of the overall post-2015 development agenda," she said.
Her speech was welcomed today by UNISDR Chief, Margareta Wahlström, who said: "UNDP and other UN agencies have an important role to play in mainstreaming disaster risk reduction into their day-to-day development work and that experience is very important to the debate now underway among member States on a new international instrument for disaster risk reduction. It will be a major feature of next year's Global Platform on Disaster Risk Reduction."
Delivering the University of Canterbury Hopkins Lecture in New Zealand, Ms. Clark said that UNDP intends to "consolidate its own lessons learned from the implementation of the current framework to help guide the direction of post-Hyogo arrangements."
She identified the voluntary non-binding nature of the Hyogo Framework as a key strength and stated "there is value in continuing a similarly structured voluntary arrangement after 2015."
Ms. Clark also suggested that any new framework "could specify measurable outcomes, rather than just processes."
She said: "In view of mounting disaster losses, investment in disaster risk reduction needs to be scaled-up exponentially. The negotiations around the post-Hyogo Framework will be an opportunity to explore financing mechanisms for disaster reduction, particularly at the local level."
Echoing the intent of UNISDR's "Making Cities Resilient" Campaign, she said the new framework should have a focus on urban planning and building safer cities given that the majority of people now live in urban settings.
"Post-Hyogo Framework negotiations will be an opportunity to place greater emphasis on recovery, and work towards developing robust policy and institutional and legislative arrangements which are human-rights based and support inclusive and sustainable post-disaster recovery."
UNISDR recently published that 133 member States participated in the last round of reporting on implementation of the Hyogo Framework for Action 2005-2015: Building the Resilience of Nations and Communities to Disasters. There are also 81 national platforms for disaster risk reduction and 43 national disaster loss databases.

|Tauber as coordinator of wrestling officials
|Written by Phil Perry
|Thursday, 24 April 2014 15:00
Veteran official Joe Tauber has been hired as the Southern Conference's new coordinator of wrestling officials, SoCon Commissioner John Iamarino announced Thursday. Tauber will assume his duties May 1.
In the newly created role, Tauber will be responsible for assigning, mentoring and evaluating officials within the league, as well as identifying new officials to work league matches. He will also assign the officials for the Southern Conference Wrestling Championship, which will move to Kimmel Arena in Asheville, N.C., in 2015 and run in conjunction with the SoCon Men's and Women's Basketball Championships.
"I am confident Joe Tauber will make a positive impact on Southern Conference wrestling," Iamarino said. "He is a highly respected veteran official who understands the need for the evaluation, mentoring and accountability among officials. His hire will benefit our programs by providing a consistent message for the officials who work their matches."
Tauber will bring more than 30 years of collegiate and high school officiating experience to the position. A decorated retired U.S. Army lieutenant colonel, Tauber has officiated nine NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships, seven Big Ten tournaments, two SoCon tournaments, one Atlantic Coast Conference tournament, seven Eastern Wrestling League Championships and three Eastern Regional Championships.
He has also worked numerous Division III regional wrestling championships and the Southern Scuffle seven times. Tauber has officiated several high school state championship bouts in Maryland and Delaware and was named the high school official of the year in Maryland in1999.
Tauber is currently a volunteer wrestling coach at First Flight High School in Kill Devil Hills, N.C.
Tauber earned a bachelor's degree in political science from the University of Maryland in 1979 and completed his juris doctorate from Ohio Northern University Law School in 1983.
"We are dedicated to elevating the quality and perception of SoCon wrestling," Iamarino said. "The hiring of a true coordinator of officials, combined with bringing the wrestling championships to Asheville during our basketball tournament weekend, illustrates that commitment."

Introduction to Health Services Research : A Self-Study Course
Founded in 1951, the Joint Commission (http://www.jointcommission.org/) is a private, nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the quality of care in organized healthcare settings.
The Joint Commission evaluates, accredits, consults, and sets standards for long-term care facilities, ambulatory healthcare organizations, home care agencies, hospices, hospitals, health care delivery networks, and organizations offering major mental health services.
Accreditation surveys assess the extent of an organization's compliance with applicable standards and provide information and guidance to help the organization improve its future performance.
The Joint Commission develops a standard when a need is identified to address a particular issue or dimension of care. New technologies, increased knowledge, or consumer demand for accountability typically bring about the need for a new, revised, or deleted standard.
In March 2006, JCAHO rebranded itself as the Joint Commission and developed a new Web site, logo and a new tagline, "Helping Health Care Organizations Help Patients."
JCAHO gives an annual award, the Ernest A. Codman Award, to "recognize achievement by organizations and individuals in the use of process and outcomes measures to improve organization performance and quality of care." To learn more about the Codman Award winners, visit the Joint Commission's Codman Award Web page. You will recall that you learned about Ernest Codman earlier in the history of health services module.

Johannes Friessner (22 March 1892 – 26 June 1971) was a German general during World War II.
Born in Chemnitz, Kingdom of Saxony, Friessner enlisted in the German Army in 1911 and, after seeing extensive duty during World War I, served in the Reichswehr following the war.
After his promotion to Generalmajor on 1 August 1940, during World War II, Friessner was assigned to the Eastern Front where, on 1 May 1942, he would be placed in command of the 102nd Infantry Division. Shortly after his promotion to Generalleutnant on 1 October 1942, Friessner served as commander of the XXIII Corps from 19 January to 11 December 1943 (during which time he was promoted General der Infanterie on 1 April).
In February 1944, Friessner was transferred to the Northern Front and assigned command to Sponheimer Group (renamed army detachment "Narva" on 23 February). Winning promotion to Generaloberst on 1 July, Friessner held briefly command of Army Group North until 25 July before being sent to the southern front to command South Ukraine Army Group (later renamed the Army Group Southeast). Unable to halt the four month Soviet offensive by Marshal Rodion Malinovsky's Second Ukrainian Front, Friessner was relieved of his command on 22 December. Holding no further command for remainder of the war, Friessner would live in retirement in Bayerisch Gmain until his death on 26 June 1971.
In 1951, he was the chairman of the Verbund Deutsche Soldaten. During the early 1950s he was active in advising on the redevelopment of the German army: Bundeswehr (see Searle's Wehrmacht Generals). In 1956, Friessner wrote Verratene Schlachten (Betrayed Battles), a memoir of his tour of command of the South Ukraine Army Group.

In hopes of finding a solution that those most directly involved are comfortable with, several Class 6A football coaches and athletic directors are set to meet Monday in Edmond to discuss ideas for a Class 7A proposal of their own.
High school notebook: Class 6A coaches, ADs to discuss 7A ideas
A proposal developed by the rules committee of the Oklahoma Secondary School Activities Association was voted down by the board of directors in December and sent back to the committee for further discussion.
However, a large group of 6A coaches and administrators decided be proactive in developing their own proposal to take to the OSSAA, rather than sitting back to see what happened.
One of the most popular ideas being discussed at the Oklahoma Football Coaches Association clinic Friday and Saturday in Oklahoma City was modeled after Texas' postseason format, which splits its largest class into two playoff brackets based on enrollment.
The idea would keep Class 6A as the largest 32 schools, and four teams from each district would qualify for the playoffs.
But instead of having one 16-team playoff, the postseason would be split into two divisions. The largest two playoff teams from each district would be put in Division 1 and the smallest in Division 2, making for two eight-team playoff brackets.
Coaches had also been discussing the same idea involving an increase of teams in Class 6A, up to 48 or even 64. And other ideas will be entertained as well.
The OSSAA board of directors meets Wednesday.
The Oklahoma Football Coaches Association looked at a variety of ideas to improve the landscape of high school football in the state during its annual clinic Friday and Saturday in Oklahoma City.
One of the most popular ideas was to allow teams to play non-district games the week before the traditional opening of the season — an idea termed "Zero Week."
It would allow teams an extra week in which to play a non-district game, thus easing the difficulty for non-district scheduling.

Rating: 5 / 5
First of all, this jacket really deserves a four or even a three and a half, but I give it a five for one reason: It is the wind jacket I reach for, take along, and use. Why? The weight and compressibility--it works like a second skin and takes up no room in my backpack, daypack or hydration pack. I use it when backpacking, dayhiking in the sort of exposed places that I love, and biking in cool dry weather.My search for a new hooded, full-zip windbreaker began soon after I joined BPL when I discovered that my 11-year old "ultralight" windbreaker weighed 11oz. (XL). Based on the reviews here, I bought a Houdini, which I adore, but at 5.3 oz. and not as compressible, I thought I'd check out an alternative.The fabric on the Verto is gossamer thin and translucent Pertex Quantum. While it seems very fragile and I avoid bushwacking with it on, I have now worn it probably 50 times or more and it doesn't have a tear or abrasion anywhere. My size XL weighs exactly 3 oz. The tiny zipper works the best of any of my now many tiny zippers and the fabric rarely get caught or if it does, it slides right out. The chest pocket is highly usable and doesn't swing around. I use the jacket a lot when I am doing high aerobic activities, like fast hiking, steep ascents in the open, and aggressive biking, and it seems to breath well and the full-zip aids as well. If I am still heating up, the jacket goes into a small waist pocket on my pack or one of the small pockets on my minimalist hydration pack. The cuffs and hem are elasticized without drawcords. The hood works well when the wind is from the rear or rear sides. The thinness of the fabric makes the hood great when wearing a helmet. While it can keep out a light drizzle or very brief shower, and while it dries in 15 or 20 minutes if it does get wet, it certainly isn't a rain jacket and I never count on it to be one. I got mine a bit larger than I needed to accommodate insulation layers and it works perfectly as such. I especially like the way it seems to increase the warmth of my sewn-through down sweater/jacket with almost no weight penalty, as BPL proved shells do in their down sweater review.Now the downside: I wish the cuffs sealed tighter to keep the cold wind from blowing up my bare arms in certain conditions(in many conditions the wind itself helps the jacket seal up). Similarly the lack of drawstring at the waist occasionally allows the wind to come up, though again in most winds the lightness of the fabric makes the hem seal itself. The lack of drawstring on the hood makes the hood unusable when facing the wind or getting wind from from the front sides. In two of these three regards, the Houdini is much better.Bottom line: This is a wonderful if imperfect jacket that does the job of a windbreaker and its light weight and tiny packing size make it the one I reach for 90% of the time to wear or to stuff into a corner of a pack. It was a bit pricy, perhaps over-priced at $99, but it now seems to be discounted everywhere, making it a better value.Update after 8 more months of use: I've worn it a lot and its still in excellent shape. An outstanding UL piece of equipment.

Weight on my scale is 2.71oz, below spec and competitive with comparable windshells in this category. Fit is excellent, if a little looser than I was expecting. I'm 6'1" and 165lbs, and the small fits well. Normally I have issues with sleeve length and tail/waist length, and the cut on both with the Verto is generous. Fits over baselayer and light fleece.With just baselayer adds decent warmth and wind resistance. Small amount of water beads well, have not tried it in rain.Includes one small chest pocket that it packs into, no other pockets or toggles. Elastic waist, cuffs, and hood. Hood is cut for a climbing helmet and is not quite perfect with no helmet on, but pretty minor gripe overall.At the weight for what you get, no reason to not always have it in the pack in the backcountry or around town on the bike.

The two-street Yizo Yizo informal community, on the outskirts of Rustenburg, was on Friday painted red as community development workers and health officials moved from shack to shack, distributing pamphlets and screening residents for TB.
Health MEC Dr Magome Masike was part of the delegation and he used a battery-powered loudspeaker to inform residents that TB was curable.
The campaign started at the busy Rustenburg taxi rank where MEC Masike urged people to go and get tested once they noticed persistent coughing, weight loss, excessive sweating at night, appetite loss and blood in their sputum.
In Yizo Yizo, the MEC visited, among others, traditional doctor David Mathe, and urged him to refer some of his clients to the clinics for TB testing.
"TB statistics in this community are high and we have come here to intensify case finding because the disease spreads fast through contact.
"For instance, at Mathe's place, he has clients queuing for his services every Friday yet there is not a single window in the room he uses for consultations. We need to win him to our side so that he helps refer some of his patients to clinics," Masike said.
However, Mathe said most of his clients are mine workers who often complain of inhaling a lot of dust.
"I always give them my traditional medicine but this TB education has opened my eyes. I will try to refer some of them to clinics for tests," he said.
Mathe conceded that he was not aware that good ventilation could help reduce the risks of contracting TB and promised to open up windows in his two-room shack.
The campaign to stop TB will also be taken to schools where contacts of infected children will be screened and treated where possible.
South Africa has the third-highest TB prevalence in the world and Rustenburg has the most TB cases in North West.
In 2010 alone, more than 2000 mine workers lost employment in South Africa because of the disease.
MEC Masike said rapid development in the mining city is partly the reason why cases are high.
"This is the fastest growing city in Africa and many people come here to look for work.
"Unfortunately, not everyone is healthy and an increased population leads to increased contact cases.
"However, we hope to defeat the scourge. All we need is cooperation from our communities," he said.

An advert for Taobao's March 8 shopping promotion. (Internet photo)
Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba Group has teamed up with several retailers in the real world as they further explore business models that connect online and offline operations, the Shanghai-based China Business News reports.
Alibaba announced on Feb. 26 a joint campaign between the mobile operations of its Taobao shopping platform and five retail chain operators for the upcoming March 8 sales.
A trial service will be introduced at one Intime City mall in Hangzhou during the campaign, the newspaper stated, allowing Taobao users to pay for their purchases by mobile phones instead of at the cashier.
"It is impossible for a retailer not to be involved in e-commerce related operations; we have to embrace e-commerce," said an Intime executive. "Intime has its own shopping site and began working with Alibaba since last year to combine online and real-world shoppers."
This will be the first time Beijing Hualian is taking part in Alibaba's marketing campaign, the newspaper said. The Wangliu Mall is expected to be the branch involved in the March 8 event, while 16 others will also work with Alibaba in the future.
Wu Qian, head of Alibaba's O2O (online-to-offline) department, said the partnership will connect online shopping options and those in the real world for users, so that they can also make purchases at bricks-and-mortar stores.
Sources told the newspaper that Alibaba also plans to work with operators in the areas of marketing, traffic, member database and payment services.
On the same day, Alibaba's Alipay third-party payment service also announced a partnership with retail chains, offering discounts and bargains to users of its e-wallet mobile payment service at stores of seven convenience store chains.
Retail chains have been contemplating their options in online operations after feeling the impact of the rise of e-commerce in China during recent years, recording declining gross profit margin and a shrinking customer base. Alibaba's move is being seen as an effort to establish close relations with users and acquire offline resources, since the group has not been successful in the O2O area.
With rival Tencent gaining ground in the mobile market with its WeChat app and investment in business review site Dianping, Alibaba is trying to compete in the battle by utilizing its mobile Taobao and Alipay products, the newspaper said.

Use tax refunds to protect land and improve environment
(RICHMOND) - Looking for an easy way to help Virginia's environment and natural resources, or help provide outdoor recreation in your community? If you're receiving a state tax refund you can donate any or all of it for such use.
Designate your voluntary contribution on lines 20 and 21 of Schedule ADJ, to accompany the Virginia Tax Return (760). If you choose the "Open Space Conservation and Recreation Fund," write in the numbers 6-8. If you choose the "Chesapeake Bay Restoration Fund," write in the numbers 7-1. A contribution to either helps preserve resources critical to the commonwealth and to future generations.
"Many citizens, through voluntary actions like donating private land or participating in Adopt-A-Stream, maintaining our state parks and volunteering in state natural areas, demonstrate an enormous stewardship ethic," said David G. Brickley, director of Virginia's Department of Conservation and Recreation. "These voluntary contribution funds allow a quick mechanism to provide additional support."
And, there's an additional benefit to you: these contributions are tax-deductible.
Money designated for the Open Space fund has helped purchase state natural areas such as Bushmill Stream (Northumberland County), North Landing River (Virginia Beach), Poor Mountain (Roanoke) and the Pinnacle (Russell County). It has also provided for public access and interpretive signage for the Natural Area Preserve System. Rare species protected by fund monies include cranberry, least bittern and pirate bush, as well as rare freshwater mussels and fish in the Clinch River.
This fund is used to acquire land for recreational purposes and as matching grants to localities for meeting outdoor recreational needs.
Contributing to the Chesapeake Bay Restoration Fund has been an option for only a couple years, yet contributions are increasing. Recently the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation announced the state met a goal of reducing nutrients in the Shenandoah-Potomac rivers, thereby lessening the nonpoint source pollution affecting a portion of the Chesapeake Bay.
However, there are similar goals yet to be met for the James, York and Rappahannock
rivers. Monies from the Chesapeake Bay Restoration Fund would be used toward
those efforts.
Virginia taxpayers who aren't receiving refunds can always contribute to these funds directly by mailing a check, payable to Treasurer of Virginia, to DCR / 203 Governor St., Suite 302 / Richmond, Virginia 23219.
If you contribute your refund to either the Open Space Recreation and Conservation or the Chesapeake Bay Restoration fund, you can list the amounts as itemized deductions on your 2001 federal and state income tax forms.
