IP and Scientific information has a major role to play in creating a ripe environment for innovation. There are various ways to reaching the goal of an innovative environment and the strategy has to be different for each economy considering its needs and scope for innovation. In April 2009, the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) was mandated by its member states to carry out a pilot project to establish Technology and Innovation Support Centers (TISCs) within the framework of its Development Agenda. Till date "Technology and Innovation Support Centers" (TISCs) have been established in Algeria, Ecuador, Morocco and Tunisia.
Andrew Czajkowski, Head of Innovation and Technology Support Section at WIPO has played a very important role in developing the platform for TISCs via studies on importance of patent and non-patent literature for innovation. He and his team have been instrumental in execution of the plan to set up TISCs in various LDCs and developing countries.
What are TISCs?
Technology and Innovation Support Centers, or TISCs for short, are designed to provide innovators in developing countries with access to locally based, high quality technology information services and other related services.
The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) promotes the establishment and development of TISCs under a related project being carried out in cooperation with national and regional industrial property offices within the framework of its Development Agenda.
The project aims to address Recommendation 8 of the Development Agenda, which calls on WIPO to "[facilitate] the national offices of developing countries, especially LDCs, as well as their regional and subregional intellectual property organizations to access specialized databases…".
The project approved by the WIPO Member States comprises two core clusters of activities, namely:
- Access to specialized databases; and
- Capacity building
Within the context of a joint engagement with national and regional industrial property authorities, WIPO supports the effective operation of TISCs by:
- Facilitating access to databases;
- Training of trainers and local users (on-site and distance learning);
- Providing information and training materials;
- Supporting awareness-raising activities;
- Disseminating best practices and experiences among TISCs.
Services offered
Technology and Innovation Support Centers (TISCs) may offer a wide range of different services aimed at assisting small and medium enterprises, university researchers, and others to more fully exploit their innovative potential and to create, protect, and manage their intellectual property rights.
Basic services available from all TISCs include:
· Access to online patent and non-patent (scientific and technical) resources
· Access to industrial property-related publications
· Assistance in searching and retrieving technology information
Additional services provided by selected TISCs may include:
· Training in searching databases
· On-demand searches (novelty, state-of-the-art, and infringement)
· Technology and competitor monitoring
· Basic information on industrial property laws
· Basic information on industrial property management and strategy
· Basic information on technology commercialization and marketing

I have been researching plastic and its role in my outdoor activities (including cooking) ... and I find myself even more baffled than before. Within the past 2 years I have become a practitioner of freezer bag cooking. Additionally I typically mix my VIA with recently boiled hot water in a small 500ml water bottle. (I don't carry a separate cup.) I like long distance trekking, so I am typically engaged in this behavior for several weeks if not months at a time.I read that even the BPA free variety of plastic can leech contaminants if warmed or even just exposed to the UV of the sun ... conditions I routinely expose my plastic bottles to in the course of daily hiking, let alone meal preparation. Obviously my freezer bags are exposed to water at elevated temperature as a matter of function.So my questions to this learned and astute community ... what is the scoop on plastic?Are the warnings trumped up? (I don't see many titanium water bottles on the trail.) Is exposing a plastic bottle to water at temperatures just shy of boiling more dangerous than the average daily exposure to sun and heat on the side of my pack? Should I keep my water bottles hidden from sunlight? Should I change them out more regularly as I resupply in-town? Is one brand of bottled water better than another regarding their use of plastic? Are my FBC bags slowly killing me?

If you are a laboratory rat, I would worry. Other than that, there are probably more pressing issues in life to worry about.
To some extent it depends on conditions. Generally the more warmth, the more leaching of nasty chemicals that interfere with your endocrine gland system, which btw is no minor thing IF it's a chronic exposure thing as it is with most. One of the only plastics commonly used so far that has been extensively tested that doesn't leech any harmful chemical is Tritan. It's the only one i re-use now. I have a Stanley bottle made out of it. It's also extremely strong and tough otherwise. At one point i did a lot of research on this stuff.
For the most part, it is all inane urban myth.> I read that even the BPA free variety of plastic can leech contaminants if warmedAnd I read that some people have been abducted by aliens.Problems with the statement (about plastics, that is):WHICH plastic???? There are tens of thousands of utterly different sorts.Most if not all food grade plastics do not contain 'contaminants' of any sort. PET, which is used for all sorts of bottles, is just PET - no 'contaminants' at all. Freezer bags are polyethylene: just polyethylene, no contaminants. There was a scare about BPA in Lexan, but the risk was really only to the workers at the plant. But the scare sure boosted sales of other sorts of water bottles for a year or two as people rushed to replace their perfectly safe Lexan bottles.> Is exposing a plastic bottle to water at temperatures just shy of boiling more> dangerous than the average daily exposure to sun and heat on the side of my pack? Yes and no. Boiling water may cause the plastic to melt down and lose shape. No danger to you, except of getting boiling water all over your hands.> Should I keep my water bottles hidden from sunlight?The sun light won't hurt the plastic, but it might cause fungal growth in the water.> Should I change them out more regularly as I resupply in-town?I do - about every 2 -3 years. They get scuffed. I like them shiny.> Is one brand of bottled water better than another regarding their use of plastic?Actually, most brands of bottled water are no better than the town supply - and sometimes measurably worse. The whole bottled water industry is one vast rip-off. CocaCola Amatil will fervently disagree of course - but they want your money.> re my FBC bags slowly killing me?Geez mate, I dunno. How many bags do you eat a day? I know they aren't good for the mid-ocean sea birds that swallow them.Hope this helpsCheers
Not backpacker friendly, and off topic, but interesting with respect to which is worse, plastic leaching into the water or the bugs in the water that can make you sick. http://www.irinnews.org/report/79172/benin-sunshine-plastic-bottle-clean-water
So ... just to be clear on this ... as long as my water bottles are made from PET plastic (#1), I should have no real concerns? Even in the context of boiling water directly and repeatedly in contact with the plastic bottle.Thanks for the advice.Cheers
Chris, it would make sense for you and people in general to more rely on your own research rather than relying on just what others tell you. Different people will tell you different things based on their interpretations, perceptions, biases, etc.
Edited by ArcturusBear on 09/11/2013 19:01:40 MDT.
Oh, do you think "doing research" means you get away from "interpretations, perceptions, biases, etc"?Unless you have good access to peer review journals and very specialized knowledge and a very keen insight and very much free time matters such as these can prove to be a very inexact process.I think it is fine he asked for the opinions here. At some point it does make since to build of the base others have formed.
Not necessarily, but at least they will be more his own. Also, i'm not saying don't listen to others at all, but people at BPL might not be the best resource for that. Sites, groups, and individuals involved in such research and studies would make more sense. I listen to people with hiking, gear, etc, experience all the time here about various hiking and gear related issues, but chemical leeching of plastic, nah most of us are not experts by any means.
Edited by ArcturusBear on 09/11/2013 20:44:21 MDT.
We smell and taste things because their particles are present. If you can smell or taste your plastic you're ingesting some. Plastic bags are not an oxygen barrier either. I hate how everything can taste like the strongest flavored thing in your bag. Like coffee. or soap. Yuck.

The best-known of all British cookbooks is 150 years old—and full of surprises. Christopher Hirst tries Mrs Beeton's tastier oddities ...
From INTELLIGENT LIFE magazine, November/December 2011
Isabella Beeton may have died in 1865, but through numerous posthumous editions of her huge, and hugely popular "Book of Household Managment", she gained a fame that continues to this day. What set her book apart was its clarity and scope. Containing 1,700 recipes, including 76 soups, 97 sauces and 109 puddings, and much more on topics ranging from dusting to blood-letting, it aimed to turn the reader into a 19th-century domestic goddess.
The ambitious scale of the work explains the famous confessional introduction: "I must frankly own, that if I had known, beforehand, that this book would have cost me the labour which it has, I should never have been courageous enough to commence it." Beeton was only 25 when the book came out in 1861; she died four years later from puerperal fever contracted during the birth of her fourth child. Like many of today's cookbooks, the recipes in "Household Management" vary from the wildly aspirational to the parsimonious. Turtle soup ("to make…with less difficulty cut off the head of the turtle the preceding day") would have been an unlikely dish among her neighbours in Pinner, near London, while turnip soup, based on "nine turnips, four onions, two quarts of stock", would have found few takers.
Beeton was a hard-pressed journalist rather than a practised cook: her biographer, Kathryn Hughes, says there is no evidence "that Isabella was interested in cooking". Compiled under pressure of deadline, the recipes were shamelessly purloined from other cookbooks. Beeton's claim in advertisements for the book that every recipe was tested seems doubtful, judging by her odder instructions. She maintains that large carrots should be boiled for 1 3/4 to 2 1/4 hours and macaroni for 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 hours. Oddly, her recipe for haricot mutton contains no haricot beans, and she suggests that Brussels sprouts "may be arranged on the dish in the form of a pineapple".
On the plus side, "Household Management" is punctuated with background information about food. We learn that black turkey "approaches nearest to the original stock and is esteemed the best". Beeton's advice on fresh-cooked lobster could scarcely be bettered for precision. It should have "a stiffness in the tail which, if gently raised, will return with a spring". Current culinary opinion has come back to her view on butter, "nutritious and…far more easily digested than any other of the oleaginous substances sometimes used in its place". And the book as a whole provides a magnificent panorama of food in the middle of the 19th century. Along with items that have remained mainstays of British cuisine—rib of beef, pork pie, Welsh rarebit and bread-and-butter pudding ("better for being made about two hours before it is baked")—there are numerous other recipes that have been forgotten.
My exploration of these produced several dishes that could happily return to dining tables both domestic and commercial. No.1089 Asparagus Pudding (A Delicious Dish) sounded worth a try. It is an egg-and-flour batter with asparagus "peas"—little snippets of asparagus spear. Steamed in a tightly covered basin for two hours, it turned out as a domed, soufflé-like pudding. After obeying Beeton's strict directions for serving with melted butter ("round but not over the pudding"), I found it light, delicate and deliciously infused with asparagus—though today we would be more likely to have it with a salad than "served with the second course".
No.1158 Baked Tomatoes (Excellent) lived up to the description. It is merely a deep dish of seasoned sliced tomatoes—much depends on their quality—baked for 20 minutes with a topping of breadcrumbs and molten butter. The crunchy top adds body and interest to the tomatoes. Beeton's description, "an exceedingly nice accompaniment to all kinds of roast meat", suggests she actually tried this one, maybe more than once. It has been repeated three times in my house.
No.127 Cucumber Soup involves quartering, de-seeding, slicing thinly, salting "to draw the water from them" (Beeton omits the vital rinsing to remove the salt and subsequent drying), then warming with butter. After 40 minutes' simmering in stock, the result was a tasty, pale yellow soup with crescent moons of meltingly soft cucumber. The lovely texture would have been lost if this Victorian treat had been subjected to the modern habit of using a blender.
No.1408 Blancmange (A Supper Dish) will be a revelation for anyone with childhood memories of the luridly coloured version based on cornflour. It is, however, more demanding to make. Beeton's recipe demands isinglass (made from the air-bladders of fish); I substituted gelatine. Incorporating lemon-infused milk and pounded almonds, the recipe involves repeated heating, stirring and straining. I liked Beeton's suggestion that "any favourite liqueur…very much enhances the flavour of this always favourite dish". I went for Cointreau. When cold, the infusion is poured into an oiled mould. A few hours later, you are tasting authentic Victorian blancmange. With its delicate tinges of citrus and almonds, it knocks pannacotta into a cocked hat.
Following this triumph, I decided to brave No.1439 Jaunemange, which shows every sign of being a Victorian joke. If blancmange is white, then it follows that a sibling made yellow with egg yolks will be jaunemange. This curiosity also requires gelatine (for isinglass), white wine and lemon juice. Again, Beeton's instructions are redolent of a sergeant-major: "Keep stirring the mixture one way until it thickens, but do not allow to boil; then…keep stirring until nearly cold". After an hour's stirring one way, the mixture was still liquid, but it set in the fridge. I thought the result was pleasantly tangy, a bit like lemon curd, though my wife was not persuaded. "If someone gave it to me," she said, "I'd think it was very weird." We didn't make it again.
Christopher Hirst is a food writer and used to be The Weasel in the Independent Magazine. He is the author of "Love Bites". In his last piece for Intelligent Life, "The Belly of the Beast", he experimented with offal.

I would like to set up USB so that I can maximize free space for document, music, etc (I would like to have 8-10 Gb free space available for this and not only 4GB). I know that it is possible to enlargen casper-rw, but what about live-rw CentOS, Fedora and some other Distros use?
Could I make two partitions, one for CenOS Live DVD and the second for file storage?

An immigration reform plan offered Wednesday in Washington ties work to the prospect of legal residency for millions of illegal immigrants.
The sponsors are U.S. Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle of South Dakota and Republican Senator Chuck Hagel of Nebraska.
The proposal also would increase spending on border security and tackle backlogs of immigrant visas that keep families separated.
The senators proposed that undocumented workers and their families in the U.S. be given the chance to become "invested stakeholders" by earning legal permanent residence through work.
President Bush earlier this month proposed creating a temporary worker program.

Looks like the Pats may already have their starting DT and SS in Siliga and Harmon.... Both turned in very good grades for the season.
It wasn't a classic New England Patriots season as the offense took a step back early on before evolving into more of a running attack late in the season. The defense appeared to be the strength of the team at the beginning of the season, but a string of injuries forced a slow decline that became exposed by the Denver Broncos in the AFC Championship.
Despite the turmoil, New England won yet another AFC East championship on the strength of a number of dramatic comebacks. They're still the division favorites heading into 2014, but they have some re-tooling to do throughout the roster.
- Player markers are colored per class on a six-step 'Poor' to 'High Quality' scale based on their overall performance and the league's elite are marked separately in blue.
- Colored outlines suggest a potential change in class.
- Underlined players will be 30+ years old for the 2014 season.
- Red player names suggest injury risks.
- Click on the image to enlarge.
Roster Notes
- One of the major stories of the Patriots' 2013 season surrounded their tight ends and wide receivers as quarterback Tom Brady found himself throwing to a new cast of characters, including three rookie wide receivers. None of the rookies established themselves as steady threats, but Aaron Dobson and Kenbrell Thompkins flashed some potential that could make them viable options in the future. Still, there are a number of question marks at wide receiver as well as tight end where only an injury-prone Rob Gronkowski resides.
- While the offensive line has been relatively stable through the years, the Patriots showed some weakness on the interior this past season. Center Ryan Wendell was unable to build on a surprisingly solid 2012 and he hits the market as a free agent, while right guard Dan Connolly earns the orange marker after two consecutive years as the line's weakest link. The tackle spots look good as Nate Solder continues to emerge as one of the league's best young left tackles while Sebastian Vollmer may be the best right tackle in the league, though health concerns have crept up in the past couple years.
- It was an interesting year on the defensive line for New England as starting defensive tackles Vince Wilfork and Tommy Kelly were both lost for the season by Week 5. That forced undrafted rookies Chris Jones and Joe Vellano to play quite a few snaps with less than stellar results, but it also helped uncover a potential hidden gem in Sealver Siliga who emerged as a quality run stuffer grading at +7.6 on 221 snaps. It was the complete opposite at defensive end where starters Chandler Jones and Rob Ninkovich played 1,142 and 1,114 snaps respectively, the top two totals ever tracked for defensive linemen since 2008.
- Despite losing LB Brandon Spikes to free agency, Dont'a Hightower's late emergence in the middle should have the Patriots feeling good about their linebacking corps heading into 2014. Jerod Mayo will return after missing most of 2013 while Jamie Collins flashed his potential in a Divisional Round gem of a +7.9 performance.
- On the back end, Devin McCourty was our top rated safety at +18.7 and the season looked promising with CB Aqib Talib playing an outstanding six games before battling injuries for the rest of the season. New England has to debate his worth in free agency as they're left with a solid, yet unspectacular group of cornerbacks.
2014 Cap Situation
Only eight teams have less money available than the Patriots who currently sit almost $4 million over the cap according to overthecap.com. It doesn't appear that they'll be major players in free agency, especially with looming decisions on Talib and WR Julian Edelman. A couple veteran cuts and/or restructures should open the necessary room, but it's likely that we'll see another year of the Patriots looking for free agent bargains later in the process.
Potential Casualties
The most obvious potential cuts are Wilfork and Connolly. Wilfork has been a staple in the New England defensive front as well as a top notch leader in the locker room, but with nearly $8 million of cap space opening up if he's cut, something will have to be done in order to keep him in New England. Connolly would provide nearly $3 million of savings, so his -12.9 overall grade makes him a likely casualty.
Opportunities from the Roster
Prior to his playoff breakout, Collins would certainly make this list, but he already appears to be entrenched in the starting lineup for 2014. Assuming Vollmer bounces back and Connolly is let go, Marcus Cannon could make the move inside to Connolly's right guard spot. Cannon graded at-1.9 overall on 578 snaps in 2013, most of which came at right tackle. At defensive tackle, Chris Jones and Vellano struggled for the most part in every-down roles, but they could emerge as valuable players in more of a rotation. Siliga should also be right in the mix for a starting spot depending on Wilfork's status. Safety Duron Harmon posted a solid +1.2 grade on 431 snaps and he could become a viable replacement for SS Steve Gregory at some point.

I haven't been doing much reading at all lately, I've been renovating my kitchen and it's that time of year when I actually have a job for a few weeks so I've been pretty busy. Today we are headed to West Edmonton Mall Waterpark with the kiddo's so I don't think I'll get any reading done today either. With that said I am still adding to the ever growing TBR, here is what I've got lately:
This one showed up in the mail yesterday from Tor. I keep getting sent Gillian Phillip books and I've never read one, one day I will have to take a look at the series because I think someone out there really wants me to read it!
What have you added to your shelves lately?

WAY too much coverage of personnel changes involving local broadcasters. Does anyone really care?
In other news...Communications Director dupes local news outlet into reporting his employment history.
The revolving door of media people going into PR has been turning for decades. The difference now is that more and more are going into PR positions on the public payroll. If they're shilling for a private company, great. If they're getting paid with tax money to make their taxpayer-paid boss look good, that's a whole other issue.
If broadcast outlets actually paid these people a competitive wage -- believe it or not, they get paid way too little for the helter skelter schedule they keep -- then they would stay as reporters. Broadcast journalists do what they do for the glory of getting on TV and selling themselvees. Therefore, this migration is natural. It's true that a journalist doesn't always make the best spokesperson, but let's face it: pols and companies just want a recognizeable face that they think the public will trust to speak for them. Kind of dumb, because true PR people make sure their bosses get the credit. Bosses want someone else to convey bad or tough news.

Lot number thirty-six:
Two One-hour CranioSacral Therapy Sessions (value £90)
When was the last time you experienced deep rest at the very core of your being?
CranioSacral Therapy is a deeply restful nurturing experience. It is a gentle but profoundly powerful manual approach. If you've never heard of it, Kate MacKinnon, the Author of From My Hands and Heart describes it beautifully in this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3uds4w1U-JE
In my practice, I like to recommend that first time clients have at least 3-4 sessions of CranioSacral Therapy, although this is purely a recommendation as some conditions are relieved more quickly than others. There have been cases in my practice where just one session of CranioSacral Therapy has been enough to release the tissue restrictions which have been the cause of debilitating migraines but in general, I would recommend at least 3 treatments at regular intervals. Where the condition is a chronic one, more treatments may be need. As it is such a light-touch therapy, CST is effective for all ages, from newborns to the elderly. Treatments are carried out fully-clothed.
CranioSacral Therapy can be helpful for many conditions including the following:-
Neck and Back Pain
TMJ Dysfunction
Learning Difficulties (ADD/ADHD)
Emotional difficulties
Depression/Anxiety/Panic Attacks
Chronic Pain
Menstrual/Menopausal/Hormone Problems
Pregnancy and Post-Partum
Local only (Orpington). Parking available on the road (no restrictions). Collection/drop-off at the local train station is available on request.

Choosing a Boarding Kennel for Your Dog or Cat
Choosing a kennel for your dog or cat is an important decision. Here are a few tips to help you know what to look for to ensure your pet will be well taken care of while you're away.
General Appearance and Kennel Safety
Call to see if the kennel you're looking to use can accommodate your pet during the time you will be away and make an appointment to visit the kennel well in advance of your scheduled holiday. Following regular daily clean-up procedures, the kennel should look (and smell) neat and clean. As part of their disease control program, some kennel operators do not permit visitors in areas where animals are housed. However, kennels with a "No Visitors" policy should provide you some type of viewing window so that you can see where your pet will be staying.
Kennels areas where your pet will stay should be free of sharp objects, harmful chemicals, and objects your pet might swallow. It should also be free of dirt, fecal accumulation, odors, and parasite infestation (flies, fleas, ticks). There should be a strict schedule of disinfecting with effective chemicals. Sleeping quarters should provide solid dividers between your pet and the other boarders. Exercise areas should include barriers between runs high enough to prevent male dogs from urinating into adjacent runs. Surfaces should offer good traction even when wet and firefighting equipment should be readily available.
Care Requirements
Proper supervision is the key to good boarding. Someone who is trained to recognize the signs of illness and distress should check pets frequently during the day. The following items should be available to your pet or required of all animals at the kennel at all times to maintain good health:
- Water and Food: individual containers filled with clean drinking water should be available to each animal. Feeding procedures vary from kennel to kennel. Some kennels supply food and others request that you bring your pet's food when you check in. Find out what your kennel does and be prepared.
- Veterinary services: ask about the procedure for obtaining veterinary service, if required. Remember that it is customary for you to be financially responsible for any veterinary care required for your pet while it is being boarded.
- Immunization requirements and medication policies: dogs should be immunized against rabies, distemper, hepatitis, leptospirosis, parainfluenza, parvovirus (DHLPP), and bordetella before being boarded. If your pet is taking any medication, advise the kennel operator of the nature of the problem and the type and frequency of medication. Ask if there is an additional charge for medicating.
- Parasite control: if you live in an area in which fleas or ticks are a problem, the kennel should utilize procedures for controlling these parasites (pre-entry examinations for boarders, sprays, dips, etc.).
Keeping Your Pet Comfortable
You should inquire into the following items that will affect the comfort of your pet:
- Temperature control and ventilation: The kennel should be able to maintain temperatures within healthful, comfortable limits for your pets, while good ventilation (no drafts) helps minimize the spread of airborne bacteria and viruses.
- Protection from the elements and proper light: Exercise areas should provide shelter from wind, rain, snow and direct sunlight and lighting should be at comfortable levels during the day.
- Bedding and sleeping quarters: Some kennels provide resting platforms or bedding, while others ask that you bring bedding from home. Make sure you know if you'll need to provide bedding before your arrival. Additionally, your kennel should provide a place for sleeping (a primary enclosure). It should be clean and dry and roomy enough for your pet to stand up comfortably, turn around easily and stretch out in.
- Exercise area: dogs should have enough space to enable them to break into a run. Exercise time will depend upon the kennel's layout. In some kennels, dogs are allowedfree-access to their own individual exercise runs during the day. Other kennels use a 'time-sharing' method for scheduling exercise. In such kennels, make sure that the time allowed and the frequency of exercise periods are adequate for your dog.
- Additional services: many pet owners find it convenient to schedule grooming, bathing, or training for their pets while they are in the kennel for boarding. Ask if such services are available. If you are in the process of moving, the kennel may even be able to take care of shipping your pet. Such a service can save you time and trouble, and helps ensure the safety of your pet.

After Months Of Promising To Compromise, Senate Democrats Say They 'Are Not Taking Up Anything' From The House
SEN. HARRY REID (D-NV): "We are not taking up anything they are working on over there." (Sen. Reid, Press Conference, 12/20/12)
- REID: "We are not going to do anything." (Sen. Reid, Press Conference, 12/20/12)
Reid Flashback: 'Waiting For' The House 'To Do Something'
SEN. HARRY REID (D-NV): "We are willing to compromise, but we also will not consign the middle class to higher tax bills while millionaires and billionaires avoid all the pain." (Sen. Reid, Congressional Record, S.7364, 12/4/12)
- REID: "…waiting for them to do something that will help the middle class. … All the president is asking - all we're asking is take care of the middle class and do something about the richest of the rich." (Sen. Reid, Press Conference, 12/13/12)
- REID: "Generally during a negotiation, each side brings an offer or demand to the table. That is how it has always worked. Then the two sides sit down and find middle ground. It is not always easy and it is rarely fun. True compromise means no one gets everything they want, but unless both sides come to the negotiating table with an offer, you can't even begin the negotiation. In fact, unless both sides come to the table with an offer, there is no negotiation." (Sen. Reid, Congressional Record, S.7311, 12/3/12)
- REID: "Mr. President, in the weeks since our country voted to return President Obama to the White House and a Democratic majority in the Senate, I have spoken often about compromise. I remain optimistic that when it comes to our economy, when it comes to protecting middle-class families from a whopping tax hike come January 1, Republicans and Democrats will be able to find common ground. President Dwight Eisenhower, a Republican, once said: People talk about the middle of the road as though it were unacceptable. ..... There have to be compromises. The middle of the road is all of the usable surface. So said Dwight Eisenhower. Too often Republicans and Democrats in Washington face off from our entrenched positions, never realizing the solutions to this country's problems rest not on one side of the aisle or the other but somewhere in the middle." (Sen. Reid, Congressional Record, S.6877, 11/26/12)

Always love adding more points :). Anyone out there get points for their recycle bins (I think waste management does it). I am interested to know how many points you get.
I do, I get from 60-80 points every 2 weeks.
Love Recyclebank. I've gotten four magazines so far!
Cool! Thanks! I decided against joining the home recycling because the monthly cost was too high, so these quizzes are perfect. :-)
Re: the points you get. Their site says you get 2.5 points per pound of home recycling with a limit of 450 pts a month. But, my trash company charges $7.99 per month for the service, and a $10 gift card is 2500 pts. I believe the company a friend of mine has participates too and only charges her $2 a month. Wish I could get them! LOL.
Thanks so much for the heads up!!! I was able to print the smoothie coupon and some dog food coupons! :)
Where do you go to print it? I have 125 points.
Nevermind :)
Awesome! Thanks!
I have sooo many points. I like the McDonald's frees but I always have trouble redeeming them. I
strange, it's not adding…
They have a free premium salad with the purchase of a Happy Meal for 100 pts too!
I did this one and both of our McDonalds told me that they would not accept my coupon!
Same, My McDonals would not take the coupon.
You should contact the regional or corporate office. There's usually a sticker with toll-free number on the glass of the pick-up window.
Watched the video. Since I wrongly answered the question, do I not get any points?
Tried it again tonight with the correct answer and it appears to be stuck.
Thanks Collin!
I was wondering how you were able to embed the video. Usually they give you an option to grab the html. I have struggling with this one for some reason. Want to add it to our site. Thanks for the help.
i can't get the points to add either…. it just is stuck on the last screen of the video…
Try taking the quiz while using a different browser.
I went to my McDonalds tonight and the manger acted like I was giving him a fraudulent coupon. I explained to him where I got it and he made me write my name phone number and address on the back of it and said he would be contacting the head office about my coupon. He implied in front of everyone that my free salad coupon was fake. I have been using my coupon there for months now.

Bottles of Sriracha chili sauce are displayed on shelves as people... News PhotoCalifornia,Horizontal,Lifestyles,People,Rosemead,Sauce,Store,Supermarket,USAPhotographer FREDERIC J. BROWNCollection: AFP 2013 AFPBottles of Sriracha chili sauce are displayed on shelves as people shop inside a supermarket in Rosemead, California, on October 31, 2013. A Los Angeles Superior Court judge refused to halt operations of Sriracha's chili sauce plant in Irwindale, California, due to complaints from neighbors about the sting in the air when the peppers are mashed. A November 22 hearing has been scheduled on whether to issue a preliminary injunction after the city of Irwindale sued the sauce-maker Huy Fong Foods Inc., on October 28 claiming it a public nuisance. The Rosemead-based company, founded by Vietnamese immigrant David Tran in 1980 in Los Angeles Chinatown, uses fresh chili's which are mashed during a two-month autumn period. AFP PHOTO/Frederic J.

Employment, Italian Style
From WSJ
Updated June 25, 2012, 7:27 p.m. ET
The rules and burdens that explain Europe's economic crisis.
Prime Minister Mario Monti has issued a new "growth decree" to revive Italy's moribund economy. Among other initiatives, the 185-page plan proposes discount loans for corporate R&D, tax credits for businesses that hire employees with advanced degrees, and reduced headcount at select government ministries.
Will any of this solve Italy's economic problems? Only in the sense that one could theoretically drain Lake Como with a ladle and straw. Allow us, then, to illustrate why Italy's economy stagnates.
Imagine you're an ambitious Italian entrepreneur, trying to make a go of a new business. You know you will have to pay at least two-thirds of your employees' social security costs. You also know you're going to run into problems once you hire your 16th employee, since that will trigger provisions making it either impossible or very expensive to dismiss a staffer.
But there's so much more. Once you hire employee 11, you must submit an annual self-assessment to the national authorities outlining every possible health and safety hazard to which your employees might be subject. These include stress that is work-related or caused by age, gender and racial differences. You must also note all precautionary and individual measures to prevent risks, procedures to carry them out, the names of employees in charge of safety, as well as the physician whose presence is required for the assessment.
Now say you decide to scale up. Beware again: Once you hire your 16th employee, national unions can set up shop. As your company grows, so does the number of required employee representatives, each of whom is entitled to eight hours of paid leave monthly to fulfill union or works-council duties. Management must consult these worker reps on everything from gender equality to the introduction of new technology.
Hire No. 16 also means that your next recruit must qualify as disabled. By the time your firm hires its 51st worker, 7% of the payroll must be handicapped in some way, or else your company owes fees in-kind. During hard times, your company may apply for exemptions from these quotas—though as with everything in Italy, it's a toss-up whether it's worth it after the necessary paperwork.
Once you hire your 101st employee, you must submit a report every two years on the gender dynamics within the company. This must include a tabulation of the men and women employed in each production unit, their functions and level within the company, details of compensation and benefits, and dates and reasons for recruitments, promotions and transfers, as well as the estimated revenue impact.
The system does allow certain exemptions—provided your company stays small, or you hire the right gender or in certain areas. Industrial and security firms are exempt from paying into the national fund for temporary unemployment if they have 15 employees or fewer; retail and tourism companies don't have to start contributing until they hire their 51st worker; and trade companies are exempt until they hire their 201st employee.
Here's another loophole you might try to jump through: Businesses currently receive tax credits worth up to €15,200 per year per new permanent-contract hire—that being for new employees who are also women or under the age of 35 and live in the regions of Abruzzo, Molise, Campania, Basilicata, Puglia, Calabria, Sardinia and Sicily.
Businesses with no more than 250 employees may also still be enjoying their three-year profit-tax holiday, which was granted in 2010 for small and medium-sized firms that reinvest their profits in forging "networks" for "innovation" with other small businesses nearby.
All of these protections and assurances, along with the bureaucracies that oversee them, subtract 47.6% from the average Italian wage, according to the OECD. Two-thirds of that bite comes before payroll, meaning many Italian workers are unaware of their gross cost to employers.
But you as the employer are aware of them, which may explain the temptation to stay small and keep as much of your business as possible off the books. This gray- and black-market accounts for more than a quarter of the Italian economy. It also helps account for unemployment at a 12-year high of 10%, and GDP forecast to contract 1.3% this year.
Still, who knows: With any luck, you may discover a loophole in Mr. Monti's new growth decree that will allow you to hire a few more employees without incurring too many costs—provided, one assumes, that all of the new hires are disabled, blue-eyed Sardinians under the age of 35.

Recent analyses suggest that the known Alzheimer's disease genes account for less than half the genetic variance in this disease. The gene encoding ubiquilin 1 (UBQLN1) is one of several candidate genes for Alzheimer's disease located near a well-established linkage peak on chromosome 9q22.

BURNETT COUNTY, Wis. -- A Wisconsin couple charged with neglect that resulted in the death of their 3-year-old daughter have turned themselves in to authorities.
The Burnett County Sheriff's Office says the couple turned themselves in to authorities around noon Sunday.
An arrest warrant had been issued Friday for Thomas Williams and Jenna Danish, but when Burnett County Sheriff deputies arrived at their home to arrest them Friday night no one answered the door.
The couple has been charged with felony child neglect resulting in the death of Reena Mae Williams, according to Wisconsin court records.
Three-year-old Reena died in August after she accidently drowned.
Her body was found in a canal in August, just hours after a neighbor spotted the little girl walking in the street barefoot. That neighbor said that it was not the first time the girl had been seen wandering in the neighborhood.
The criminal complaint issued against Danish and Williams says that a witness told investigators he and Williams were smoking synthetic marijuana in the minutes before the little girl disappeared. When the couple's home was searched deputies found numerous items of drug paraphrenalia and a supply of synthetic drugs.
Another person told authorities that Danish admitted she was sleeping during the period that Reena wandered away.
Prosecutors maintain that there was a well established pattern of the 3-year-old wandering off without supervision. On the day she disappeared one witness described seeing Reena at the town ball field, some 1.5 miles from her home. Another saw her wandering down a street in town and brought her home, only to have Danish and Williams act like it was "no big deal."
Shortly after she was returned home the little girl wandered off again. She was found drowned in the canal the next day, just 25 yards from the family home.
Danish and Williams each face up to 25 years in prison if convicted.

A Note from Dr. Robert Sloan
It's my pleasure to welcome you to the The City, a publication of Houston Baptist University.
Named as a reference to HBU's spiritual location within Augustine of Hippo's De civitate Dei and for our physical presence in a great American metropolis, The City features the writings of leading Christian voices in the academy and out of it, including thoughtful pieces by several members of the HBU family.
This is an exciting time for HBU. Following a comprehensive envisioning process, our university is entering a period of transformation and expansion, built on a faithful understanding of the liberal arts and our aspirations to become a national university.
The concept of the university has deep roots in the church. Christian scholarship is as old as the faith – yet despite the ancient relationship between the church and the university, the past two centuries have seen the two grow ever further apart. Today, few universities embrace the idea that faith and reason are partners in the quest for truth. If you visit the great institutions of the past, you will find them dominated by moral relativism and secularism – the grand old buildings may still have the Word of God engraved on their walls, but it has faded with time, and no longer represents the beliefs of those inside.
At HBU, we believe a great university does not leave students to be swept to and fro by the fickle winds of the world. It does not merely place tools in the hands of the next generation to serve the needs of the day. It equips them with something more meaningful. It gives them a place to stand when a great storm comes, and it guides them past the fleeting, and toward the everlasting.
This is the purpose of HBU, and of The City. We invite you to read and enjoy.
Dr. Robert Sloan
