From the "broadband ditch" to the release of the 2010 US national broadband plan. A short history of the broadband penetration debate in the US
The paper provides an historical account of the policy debate that took place in the United States after the 2007 release of the OECD's broadband statistics. It explains why and in what context such a debate occurred (lack of relevant statistics from the FCC, dissatisfaction of some stakeholders with the deregulation of broadband, role of new players). The paper reviews the policy options proposed by the main players to foster the deployment of broadband, among others the potential inclusion of broadband in the scope of the US universal service, the need for a national policy, and implementation/funding issues. It puts into perspective the national broadband plan proposed by the FCC in March 2010.

" Brand: Leapfrog "
Tad's Goodnight is one of the great books designed for use with the award-winning LeapPad, an interactive early learning system that is sure to catch the attention of even the most reluctant of young readers.
In this book, which works on phonics development with the emphasis on consonants and the vowels A and I, little Tad is worried about his mum and dad going out for the evening. The story is told through bold pictures and simple text, and the reader simply has to run the magic LeapPad pen across the words to hear the story, sound out the words, or spell them. Use the pen to touch the illustrations and different words to describe the pictures are spelt out loud.

Sephora Cosmedicine Medi-Matte Oil Control Lotion SPF 20 Reviews
Good but not great.I used this with Sephora's oily skin kit. The other products are great and I will be buying them individually. But the moisturizer seemed great initially but a couple of hours later my skin was very oily and it made my pores look even worse. It could have been great but falls short. — 9 years, 5 months agohongsc | 18 reviews
Keeps Oil in Check without overdryingFor those of you who suffer from combination skin and dont want to use a gazillion different products, this seems to do the trick. It's winter and my skin is sensitive to over drying, but that doesnt mean my large pores go away. I am able to use just this one product during the day. It works over time: moisutrizes, keeps excess oil at bay, and protects my skin from the sun! — 9 years, 6 months agoallimb0728 | 1 reviews

Made me break outIt really did control my oily skin. But it clogged my pores. I broke out with big bumps that were obviously from clogged pores. It wasn't an allergic reaction. Also, before I stopped using it (used for about a week) I noticed that it didn't control my oil all day. I was shiny again after a few hours. — 9 years, 6 months agopeacefuljoy27 | 14 reviews
Great at first....i really like how matte my skin looks after initial application first thing in the morning...but by 10am - shiny again. — 9 years, 8 months agovanuel17 | 3 reviews
FabulousI use this every morning on my oily areas and it works for at least six hours (until school is out). it helps reduce pore size and control oil poduction and it gives you a perfect shine free face. Great for anyone regardless of skin type because it can be used all over or just in problem areas. Love it!! — 9 years, 8 months agotxchrchk | 3 reviews

Great for oily skin!I have Medi-Matte Face Tint & Oil Control Lotion SPF 20 for light skin. I use it instead of a foundation. It's very sheer. The light feel is great. My skin is super oily. This is oil control and light coverage in one. I highly recommend it. It's great on sensitive skin and doesn't rub off when you give someone a hug. The only negative is it dries fast so you have to apply it very quickly. — 9 years, 8 months agoCheshire | 21 reviews

My Reasons for Reporting This

The author of legislation asking voters to decide whether to fund storm shelters in public schools has failed to get it out of an Oklahoma House committee.
Democratic Rep. Joe Dorman of Rush Springs asked the House Rules Committee to authorize House Joint Resolution 1078 to advance to the House floor. But Dorman says only two of seven members – himself and fellow Democrat Kay Floyd of Oklahoma City – signed the directive. The other five members are Republicans.
Dorman sought signatures after the bill was not brought to a vote. Dorman needed the signatures of a majority of committee members to advance the measure.
Dorman is seeking the Democratic nomination for governor. The bill is similar to an initiative petition Dorman helped spearhead.

Hockey delivers unusual first budget
The federal government is banking on an infrastructure-led economic recovery, calling on the states and the private sector to help find new financing arrangements, including user charging, to deliver $125 billion in new infrastructure projects.
As mining investment tapers off next financial year, especially in big gas projects in Queensland, the government is relying on major projects to keep the economy ticking along. New infrastructure spending, especially on key projects in NSW, Victoria and Queensland, was one of the few pieces of positive news out of the budget.
The government will inject $11.6 billion in new money to help clear a backlog of road projects, but it will be up to state governments and the private sector to help contribute to and deliver the projects.
The $2 billion concessional loan to the NSW government for the second stage of the WestConnex project in western Sydney is being hailed as the template for future financing arrangements with the states.
In its first budget, the Coalition has wound up the former Labor government's infrastructure centrepiece – the Building Australia Fund – and replaced it with an asset-recycling fund to fund new infrastructure investments.
It will be topped up with the proceeds of the sale of any future assets, including Medibank Private.
The $11.6 billion in new infrastructure funding includes $5 billion for the asset-recycling fund for the states, $3.7 billion to fast-track some road projects, including the East West Link in Melbourne, WestConnex in Sydney, as well as $2.9 billion for the western Sydney infrastructure plan. It says existing projects and new funding will push total infrastructure spending to $50 billion by the end of the decade.
As promised, the government has abandoned funding urban-rail projects, such as Brisbane's cross-river rail project and Melbourne Metro project. But it has continued funding for freight-rail projects including a previously announced $300 millon for the Melbourne-to-Brisbane inland railway. With superannuation funds keen to invest in infrastructure, the Commonwealth is pushing the states to sell assets and engage with the private sector to help fund new projects which could total $125 billion by 2020.
State and territories will have access to an extra $5 billion in funding, provided they sell public assets and allocate the money to productive infrastructure.
The new asset-recycling fund will be financed by unallocated money from the former Labor government's Building Australia Fund ($2.4 billion) and the Education Investment Fund ($3.5 billion) as well as the proceeds from the future asset sales.
The government will also legislate to ensure the proceeds from ending the freeze on the indexation of petrol are allocated to road projects.
The asset recycling fund will be managed by the Future Fund board of guardians. The first proceeds from the fund, in which states can receive a 15 per cent top-up towards the cost of the project if they re-invest the money from asset sales on agreed infrastructure projects, is expected to flow from July.
The states have a two-year window to apply for the funding, which will be addressed on a "first-come, first-serve" basis.
The sale of the public asset and construction of the new project must start by June 2019.
The government said it was also exploring the use of alternative financing options, such as the $2 billion concessional loan for WestConnex, to take the pressure off government balance sheets. Alternative financing arrangements could include the provision of loans, guarantees and/or equity, as well as user-charging.

Payless Is Great
Even if you choose not to heed my warning, I promise, I'll find you a great pair of shoes that match lung.
So, I'm still sick. The doctor said I have asthma, bronchitis (Danny didn't think I would really tell the doctor that I've been using eleven year-old Biaxin to treat it), and pan sinusitis. I figured I had all those diseases and disorders; I mean any hypochondriac worth her weight in salt has all that diagnosed before she walks into the doctor's office.
But listen to this shiznit: HE THINKS I MAY HAVE A HEART CONDITION!!!! That kind of information can send a hypochondriac to an early grave. Okay, I have to write the obligatory letters to my children, husband, parents and sisters. I have to clean my house (not happening, but it feels like I have to at least write it), choose my funeral, get a mani/pedi, and have my hair styled and colored. I also have to find bone marrow donors.
The most important thing I need to do is write a post to my Internet family letting them know how much I love them.
Sheesh. Is someone with a heart condition supposed to work that hard?
The doctor interrupted my mental-list-making by explaining that he thinks I might have mitral valve prolapse, which is relatively benign in females, and that it is regurgitating my blood in the heart. (Yes, I do have blood, and sometimes it's even warm.)
So I did the only reasonable thing: I called my sister and cried because I know she has mitral valve prolapse, for which she is medicated.
As usual she was quite supportive about the matter.
She said, "Dumb ass, you already know you have mitral valve prolapse."
"Huh, what do you mean?"
"Yes, you ass! You got tested after I did and I remember your results so clearly because when I heard them, I thought, 'Can't I have a single effin' thing this bitch doesn't have also.' "
Well, I have some shopping for lung-colored shoes to do. Do you prefer Payless or Nordstrom? (Please say Payless, please say Payless, please say Payless......)

Please say Payless, Please say payless, Please say payless...I have done exactely what you have asked for....Now take a deep breath....Don't worry about your heart it just fine..That heart problem is no big thing..But if you go to the dentist you must tell them about it..I forget why..Now go to payless, shop smart..They have nice things...What the hell do I know..I don't even know where one is at..Be blessed, please feel better and remember , everything little thing gonna be alright..Love you just becuz.ReplyDelete
Payless all the way baby!ReplyDelete
Payless as long as I can have the Airwalks! Like the first comment do not forget to tell your dentist because Novocaine contains a stimulant that can cause panic (adrenaline) you can ask for the non-adrenaline Novocaine & be just fine!ReplyDelete
You need to let ur dentist know because u need to take an antibiotic before having any dental procedures done. If you don't u r at risk for bacterial endocarditis ( an infection in the valve, from the bacteria in your mouth getting into ur bloodstream)...now u have even issues, Miss Hypochondriac! lolReplyDelete
Don't worry about the heart thing. It's not really that big a deal. I have it. Go to Payless if you want but I don't like their plastic shoes. You can go to Sears and get leather. Or even to Kohls. Think about it.ReplyDelete
It's not an uncommon disorder but panic symptoms are triggered by/co-occur with mitral valve prolapse. Which is helpful to know in terms of self-talk when anxious.ReplyDelete
I'm behind on my reading because I got stir crazy and deleted my blog. But now I'm back and I'm rooting for Nordstrom.. I know you want Payless but darn it, you deserve the browsing experience, the smell of good leather, the oohhh--aahhh of amazing shoes...ReplyDelete
I love your sister, by the way.
"shoes that go with lung." oh, man. hang in there. apparently this news was not worth remembering the first time, so it is NOT worth panicking over this time. I think. I have no idea what it means, or all that dentist advice stuff sounds real wise, so you know, HEED that and all.ReplyDelete

Jews To Use Their UN To Destroy Internet
Now we know why Obama is fighting hard to hand the internet over to the UN which is owned by the Elders of Zion, the Rockefeller's, Rothschild's [King of the Jews is the title the Rothschild's can themselves in their own writings] and other jewish globalist elites.
Obama Planning On Giving The Internet Away to Globalist Jews:
Why don't jews want us to have freedom of information?
Cause it would make it harder for the jews to treat us like they think of us......You know the same way the jews treat the Palestinians. Well what is left of the Palestinians.
UN to battle online anti-Semitism
UN forum on global anti-Semitism outlines plan for fighting online anti-Semitism and limiting its presence in social media.
A high level forum on global anti-Semitism took place in the United Nations on Wednesday.
Convened by the ambassadors of Israel, the United States, Canada and the European Union, the forum brought together leading experts from academia, NGOs, and social media companies to discuss the growing phenomenon of online anti-Semitism.
Following greetings from UN General Assembly President Mogens Lykketoft, the ambassadors from the host missions addressed the gathering.
Professor Deborah Lipstadt gave the keynote address and senior executives from Microsoft and other social media companies contributed to the various panels.
The forum resulted from close cooperation between the organizing missions and the UN, and followed up on last year's special General Assembly session on anti-Semitism. The participants discussed practical solutions for tracking anti-Semitic activities online and proposed solutions for battling this phenomenon by utilizing the latest technologies and industry best practices.
At the forum's conclusion a joint plan was issued by the four missions outlining their recommendations for fighting online anti-Semitism and limiting its presence in social media.
"Twenty-first century antisemitism demands twenty-first century experts to confront this hatred," said Israel's Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon.
"We plan on implementing the recommendations presented here today and utilizing them in the fight against Palestinian incitement which includes many antisemitic elements," Ambassador Danon continued.
In her remarks welcoming the participants, U.S. Ambassador Samantha Power noted that, "When governments and leaders stand up and speak out in the face of anti-Semitism, even the hatemongers take notice. Imagine how much violence against Jews and other minorities might have been avoided it similar measures were taken in the past. Imagine all the hatred and suffering that we can prevent if we come together with such an effort like today."
Professor Lipstadt, the forum's keynote speakers and the subject of an upcoming film based on her battle with Holocaust denier David Irving, spoke of the connection between Holocaust denial and modern antisemitism.
"While anti-Semitism is one of the oldest forms of racism known to the world, it is constantly reinventing itself and finding new ways to spread hatred and violence against the Jewish people," added Ambassador Danon. "We must be vigilant and ensure the international community stays focused on this important issue."

3 cups onions (2 large), halved lengthwise and sliced thin crosswise
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme leaves or 1/4 teaspoon dried, crumbled
2 1/2 pounds large red potatoes (about 7)
4 ounces chilled soft mild goat cheese from a log or disk, crumbled
1 1/2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1 cup milk
In a heavy 5- to 6-quart kettle heat oil over moderate heat until hot but not smoking and cook onions with thyme and salt and pepper to taste, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 15 minutes. Reduce heat to moderately low and cook, stirring frequently to keep from scorching, until golden brown. Remove kettle from heat.
While onions are cooking, bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil for potatoes. Peel potatoes and cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Add potatoes to boiling water and cook 5 minutes from time water returns to a boil. Drain potatoes well in a colander.
Preheat oven to 425°F. and lightly oil a 2- to 2 1/2-quart gratin dish or other shallow baking dish.
Arrange half of potatoes, overlapping slightly, in dish and season generously with salt and pepper. Cover potatoes with onions, spreading evenly, and top with goat cheese. Arrange remaining potatoes, overlapping slightly, over cheese and season generously with salt and pepper. Dot gratin with butter. Gratin may be prepared up to this point 2 hours ahead and kept at room temperature, covered.
Pour milk evenly over potatoes and bake 35 minutes, or until potatoes are tender and top is golden. Gratin may be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Reheat gratin before serving.

Tonight was a bit of a crazy one. I built an item yesterday but forgot to take photos before giving it away. I had 2 items lined up to cut but spent several hours trying to get the designs working on the laser software. One didn't get cut and the other worked but it didn't assemble as well as I hoped so will try again tomorrow. So instead I ended up doing this D20 from scratch in the last 20 minutes. It's grubby and glue coated and could be done so much better but it is laser cut and that's what counts for now.
Edit: I totally forgot to include the link, someone should nudge me.

Tile box
Now that I have a nice set of tiles I'm going to need somewhere to store them, so I used pepakura to create a simple box for me which I then cut out on the laser.

The game is available for free as a pdf download
Please feel free to donate if you like the game.
After a few games using the paper tiles we quickly got annoyed with the way the tiles moved around so I set about creating a full tile set that I could laser cut, I used veneer to create the paths in the tiles and cut some nice tokens.

Car phone holder
My car holder broke a while back, it was cheap and nasty and failed because one of the central parts snapped under normal strain. I decided I was going to make something sturdier this time around and it actually came out to be cheaper too. I started with a mini dent puller that would give me decent suction to the screen, canabalised a section of a section snake light (both bought from the pound store) and laser cut a frame to hold my phone. The parts were lashed together and glued and the final item works really well.

|Drama . Fantasy . Horror
The Magicians centers around Brakebills University, a secret institution specializing in magic. There, amidst an unorthdox education of spellcasting, a group of twenty-something friends soon discover that a magical fantasy world they read about as children is all too real— and poses grave danger to humanity.
|TV Channel:
It's a mere two episodes, but The Magicians provided enough evidence that it has enough talent and ambition to keep the surprises coming.The Hollywood Reporter Full Review
"Harry Potter" meets "Gossip Girl" in "The Magicians," Syfy's new adaptation of a Lev Grossman trilogy, and it's a good match.... The Magicians holds its own by making the students a bit older and complicated.Los Angeles Times Full Review
Overall, this seems as though it will be one of Syfy's most engaging new series as the channel continues to get back into the hardcore sci-fi and fantasy genres.Yahoo TV Full Review
The Magicians may not have perfected every incantation in its spellbook, but it's worth a look for viewers intrigued by the idea of a Harry Potter-esque weekly fantasy series.TVLine Full Review
Monday's busy pilot (crammed with setting reveals and visual effects) leads to a sluggish second hour trading the thrill of discovery for downbeat foreboding. Yet the purpose-seeking characters emerge so starkly--Jason Ralph's disturbed new student, Hale Appleman as his sardonic guide, Arjun Gupta as his itchy roommate, Stella Maeve as his left-behind soul mate. They feel worth following.Newsday Full Review
The book's fans may not be completely satisfied--dialogue often doesn't do justice to Grossman's withering prose--but the spirit of this dark-natured series is intact.New York Post Full Review
The pilot is an effective introductory chapter to a story that speaks to a moment cluttered with both escapist fantasy and neo-gothic gloominess. It's Harry Potter, distressed with a Heavy Metal acid bath.... The world and perspective of The Magicians is more immediately interesting than the characters.Entertainment Weekly Full Review
It promises to be a wild ride. [1-14 Feb 2016, p.19]TV Guide Magazine Full Review
Like its protagonist, The Magicians demonstrates lots of clear potential to both follow and subvert that storytelling device, as well of flashes of poetic beauty, buried beneath a grim, world-weary exterior. You could call it an anti-escapist fantasy.We Got This Covered Full Review
The students of Brakebills have never fit in and aren't part of a hierarchy, and, like a lot of young people, can be their own worst enemy. So far The Magicians played off those reverse expectations fairly well, and has a more hip Gothic atmosphere to it. It will be interesting to see if it can keep all the balls flying in the air.Los Angeles Daily News Full Review
The series works well enough as a straightforward coming-of-age tale that the stock scenes of magic--a windblown sheet of paper leading Quentin to the proper doorway, a deck of cards forming castles in the air--can feel like cheesy intrusions.The New York Times Full Review
It'll take more than an episode or two to see what The Magicians becomes when it stops trying so hard to be the dark, sexy, thoughtful, sexy, and also sexy series it so clearly wants to be. There's a lot to like here, and plenty of potential to make the show as engrossing and sometimes devastating as the books on which it's based.The A.V. Club Full Review
The show is at its worst when straining to be provocative and, in so doing, incorporating various Hollywood clichés (Hogwarts meets Gossip Girl, one review blared). But in terms of establishing a world and getting the plot going, the show's first episodes are actually pretty promising.Slate Full Review
Perhaps once the exposition is disposed of, it'll pick up speed (the second episode, which also airs Monday, is a little better than the first). But to succeed, the show needs to more fully explore the complex and often terrifying world it introduces, tropes and all.The Atlantic Full Review
Just like a school like Brakebills wouldn't send its students to an advanced class before teaching them the basics, The Magicians loses something for not fully setting up foundational elements like how magic works in this world, what it's like to be a student (or teacher) at Brakebills, or the many ways it is very different from Hogwarts.Hitfix Full Review
The Magicians tries to create three different worlds simultaneously--Quentin's New York City, Fillory, and Brakebills, complete with different casts of characters and different sets of rules. It's not as sloppy as it could be, but it's hard to not feel rushed through the pilot.Salon Full Review
Some of the special effects are magical; others are genuinely terrifying. But with so many characters, and such an abundance of twists and turns and truths and lies, keeping up is exhausting even in the first two hours. And none of the characters, especially the mopey Quentin, is engaging enough to make it worth the effort.St. Louis Post-Dispatch Full Review
The rushed plot leaves Grossman's rich world feeling empty. That world is still fun to live in--even if it's not as good in TV form.Philadelphia Daily News Full Review
At first, Ralph seems a little old for the part of Quentin, but he skillfully personifies a postgraduate man-child. The show's special effects are deftly executed and the script is nicely crafted with twists, turns and surprises to hold our attentionSan Francisco Chronicle Full Review
The best that can be said about The Magician thus far is that it has so many balls in the air that you're tempted to stick with it just to see where it's going. Even then, though, the show puts more stock in atmosphere and attitude than in distinguishing its characters or sci-fi fantasy terrain from those of comparable projects.The Wrap Full Review
Fans of the books probably will like it because they know what the heck is happening. I was lost.The Lincoln Journal Star Full Review
There's little time for texture or complexity in the first two episodes of The Magicians, which cherry-pick a series of important incidents from the novel and often fail to import the psychological or philosophical depth that accompanied each plot point. Even the production design seems more cheap than spare, and tends to make the mythical Brakebills look like a bland store selling Ikea knockoffs.Variety Full Review
There's little that's magical about the cold, poorly paced Magicians pilot. It takes 16 minutes until Quentin arrives at Brakebills and feels longer. The pilot is rife with drab colors and while the story has potential, it made me want to go find the book rather than watch more of the TV series.Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Full Review
Most of the characters, however, are written and behave as if they are 14, and not 20-something graduate students. That said, the first episode ends on a terrific cliffhanger, when a creature from another realm--a man with a swarm of moths flitting around his head--attacks. A good three minutes does not excuse the hour that came before it. And the resolution is presented so poorly in the next episode that it sabotages any good will the first episode earned.Boston Herald Full Review

That was the demand of Jerry Maguire and the demand of your humble correspondent is SHOW ME THE DATA!!! I make this request because Nick Madigan of the New York Times wrote an article projecting heavy ocean flooding of South Florida in this century based on no solid evidence. Here are a few samplings of Madigan's fact free alarmisms:
MIAMI BEACH — In the most dire predictions, South Florida's delicate barrier islands, coastal communities and captivating subtropical beaches will be lost to the rising waters in as few as 100 years.
...The Florida Keys, the pearl-like strand of islands that stretches into the Gulf of Mexico, would be mostly submerged alongside their exotic crown jewel, Key West.
"I don't think people realize how vulnerable Florida is," Harold R. Wanless, the chairman of the geological sciences department at the University of Miami, said in an interview last week. "We're going to get four or five or six feet of water, or more, by the end of the century. You have to wake up to the reality of what's coming."
And you have to wake up to the reality that your alarmist Chicken Little squawkings are supported by no data. What? Did I miss something? Nope. The article gives no actual data of how much the sea levels have risen in the past to support these silly projections. But let us now resume with the flood of alarmist absurdities presented in the article:
"People tend to underestimate the gravity here, I think, because it sounds far off," said Ben Strauss, the director of the Program on Sea Level Rise at Climate Central, an independent organization of scientists. "People are starting to tune in, but it's not front and center. Miami is a boom town now, but in the future that I'm very confident will come, it will be obvious to everyone that the sea is marching inland and it's not going to stop."
Really? Has the sea even made it yet past the oceanfront hotels of Miami Beach, many of which including the Fountainbleu were built before 1960? They all seem to have about the same amount of beach front as before.
Since this article lacks any kind of data regarding the rise (or fall) of sea levels, we must now turn to Steve Goreham of the Washington Times who provided us with the required data in September:
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change stated in 2007, "Global average sea level rose at an average rate of 1.8 mm per year over 1961 to 2003. The rate was faster over 1993 to 2003: about 3.1 mm per year." This translates to a 100-year rise of only 7 inches and 12 inches, far below the dire predictions of the climate alarmists.
But three millimeters is about the thickness of two dimes. Can scientists really measure a change in sea level over the course of a year, averaged across the world, which is two dimes thick?
Today, sea level is measured with satellite radar altimeters. Satellites bounce radar waves off the surface of the ocean to measure the distance. Scientific organizations, such as the Sea Level Research Group at the University of Colorado (CU), use the satellite data to estimate ocean rise. The CU team estimates current ocean rise at 3.2 millimeters per year.
The organizations AVISO (Archiving, Validation, and Interpretation of Satellite Oceanographic Data) of France, CSIRO (Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization) of Australia, and NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) of the United States agree with the University of Colorado that seas are rising three millimeters per year. Given the huge natural variation in global sea level, the three millimeter number is incredible. The fact that four different organizations have arrived at the same number is suspect.
Yes, what a "coincidence." And it turns out that instead of a steady rise in the sea level, it is more like a natural fluctuation:
As Dr. Willie Soon of Harvard shows, ocean level variation is large and affected by many factors. If temperatures rise, water expands, adding to sea level rise. If icecaps melt, levels rise, but if icecaps grow due to increased snowfall, levels fall. If ocean saltiness changes, the water volume will also change.
Tides are a major source of ocean variation, primarily caused by the gravitational pull of the moon, the sun, and the rotation of the Earth. Ocean water "sloshes" from shore to shore, with tides changing as much as 38 feet per day at the Bay of Fundy in Nova Scotia. The global average tide range is about one meter, but this daily change is still 300 times the three-millimeter change that scientists claim to be able to measure over an entire year.
Storms and weather are major factors affecting satellite measurements. Wave heights change by meters each day, dwarfing the annual rise in ocean level. Winds also change the height of the sea. The easterly wind of a strong La Niña pushes seas at Singapore to a meter higher than in the eastern Pacific Ocean.
Satellites themselves have error bias. Satellite specifications claim a measurement accuracy of about one or two centimeters. How can scientists then measure an annual change of three millimeters, which is almost ten times smaller than the error in daily measurements? Measuring tools typically must have accuracy ten times better than the quantity to be measured, not ten times worse. Dr. Carl Wunsch of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology commented on the satellite data in 2007, "It remains possible that the database is insufficient to compute mean sea level trends with the accuracy necessary to discuss the impact of global warming—as disappointing as this conclusion may be."
So the margin of error is almost ten times what is being measured as supposed sea level change. Yes, the conclusion should be disappointing to global warming alarmists but that won't stop them from making wild predictions as was demonstrated by Madigan's New York Times article.

PALM HARBOR — Residents who want to influence decisions about spending for the Palm Harbor Library and Recreation Department have their last chance tonight, when the Pinellas County Commission holds its final public hearing on the county budget.
In July, county commissioners rejected a request from Gene Coppola, director of the Palm Harbor Library, and recreation director Erica Lynford to raise the local property tax rate back to its original one-quarter mill for each of the two departments.
In 1985, residents of unincorporated Palm Harbor voted to tax themselves for library services and parks and recreation programs.
An appointed board of residents, called the Palm Harbor Community Services Agency, was set up to govern the two departments.
At that time, voters agreed to a tax of one-quarter mill for library services and one-quarter mill for parks and recreation. One-quarter mill raises 25 cents in tax on every $1,000 of taxable property value. Under that rate, a resident with a home with a taxable value of $100,000 after all exemptions would pay $25 for library services and $25 for recreation services each year.
However, since 2007, the county has kept the total millage rate for Palm Harbor library and recreation services at .4437, just over .22 of a mill for each department.
"The commissioners told us that residents did not support a hike,'' said Coppola. "But I think so many residents don't really understand what it all means, and if they go to public meetings like this, they'll get more educated. Then, if they still don't want to raise the rate, I'll be okay with it.''
For the 2012 fiscal year, which begins next month, Coppola's operations budget stands at $1,175,400. This includes a $96,000 transfer from the library's capital fund, which had only $325,000 to pay for the next 10 years of capital items, Coppola said.
He said the transfer of capital funds is "a one-time-only thing."
"Come 2013, I won't have money to do that again, so it could result in more layoffs or staff reductions at that time,'' said Coppola, who has already seen his staff shrink from 27 in 2009 to 18 in 2011.
"It's important for people to understand if the millage rate went back up to what the voters approved years ago, then taking out $96,000 would not have been necessary,'' he said. "It would have been a wash.''
Lynford, the director of parks and recreation, also has less money to work with in the coming year. This year, her department's operational budget totaled $766,480. For 2012, it is proposed at $703,000 — about $63,000 less, said Lynford, who was named director in May.
Although Lynford does not anticipate decreasing the size of her staff, the workers will not get a raise — for the fourth year in a row.
"As you know, these are tough times, and desperate times, desperate measures,'' Lynford said. "Quite honestly, the small staff that we do have here in programming and in maintenance have been committed to the job while seeing around them rising prices. They have all learned here how to think out of the box and do more with less for the taxpayers.''
When it comes to the East Lake Community Library, which is also under the umbrella of the Palm Harbor Community Services Agency, director Patricia Perez has requested an additional $42,000 from Pinellas County's general fund for her operational budget, which is set at about $498,000.
The request for more money from the general fund came about because of a continued decline in financial support, Perez said.
The bulk of the East Lake library's funding comes from the county general fund and from the Pinellas Public Library Cooperative, which collects tax dollars from unincorporated areas of the county and distributes the money to existing libraries.
Since 2007, the funding from the county's general fund to the East Lake library has decreased — from $316,000 in 2007 to 2012's projected figure of about $200,000.
Meanwhile, funding from the library co-op is expected to take a dive because of continued declines in property values. For the 2012 fiscal budget, the East Lake library expects to collect $164,000 from the co-op — down from the $170,000 this year.
Although she acknowledges the current economic conditions are presenting particular challenges, Perez hopes that in the years ahead, "a different way to generate funds for the East Lake Community Library will be created."
"It needs to change because (East Lake) used to be tiny, made up of dirt roads, and now we have our own population of 33,000,'' she said.
Perez said she'd like to see the East Lake library funded through a special taxing district for that area, but she doesn't want the library co-op's services harmed.
And just like Coppola, Perez believes the community needs to get better educated about how the local services they enjoy are funded.
"It's a complicated system, and I would love the public to understand the funding structure,'' she said.

text: Before we start, I'd like to address forward-looking statements that may be discussed on the call. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. Actual future performance, outcomes and results may differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements. Please refer to the documents filed by Regency Centers Corporation with the SEC, specifically the most recent reports on Forms 10-K and 10-Q, which identify important risk factors that could cause actual results to differ from those contained in these forward-looking statements.Bruce -- oh, sorry, Hap? Martin E. Stein Thank you, Lisa, and good morning. As Brian and Bruce will discuss in more detail, we made significant progress during the first quarter toward achieving our key objectives in all aspects of the business. Operating fundamentals are definitely trending positively. We ended the quarter at 93.6% leased. Same property net operating income was up more than 4%. Move-outs and bad debts are at prerecession levels. Leasing demand remains robust, including small shop space, and we're starting to experience some pricing power. While we're gratified by these results, it's still early in the year. We are keenly focused on building on this positive momentum especially growing base rent and doing the heavy lifting needed to firmly re-establish Regency's long-term NOI growth rate at 3% or more. We're gaining traction on the sale of targeted nonstrategic assets and the potential progress is encouraging. Regarding recycling that capital into acquisitions, we're seeing some opportunities to buy dominant centers with excellent growth prospects in Regency's 2,000 target markets. Given the intense amount of competition, buying great assets is one of the most challenging aspects of our plan. In any event, as we've shared with you, we intend to be a net seller in 2012 in order to modestly reduce leverage and increase financial flexibility. Our post-recession developments -- redevelopments and expansions are performing well. As a matter of fact, in excess of our underwriting. We're on track to achieve returns in excess of 9.5% on the $200 million of incremental capital for the projects started after January 2009. As supported by preferred stock transactions, almost $600 million of capacity on the line of credit in term loan and mortgage refinancings in our co-investment partnerships, we have the capability to take advantage of all facets of the capital markets spectrum. And we will continue to opportunistically improve upon our balance sheet that is already in solid shape.

3 High-Growth Stocks to Buy for 2014
Put this familiar name and two smaller companies on your radar
The best growth stocks aren't always the hot consumer tech companies — Apple (AAPL) and the like — that Wall Street likes to rave about. Sometimes, they're names you already know and trust, but don't really equate with exciting, and they often play in much duller businesses than hocking iPhones.
I use a complex combination of combination of technical analysis and fundamental research to determine which stocks are poised to move quickly, and have found three stocks to buy before they charge higher in 2014.
Boeing (BA)
Boeing (BA) recently announced a ton of new customer orders and commitments for its 777 jets. This is great news for the entire aerospace/defense sector, but especially for the $105 billion manufacturer of commercial and military jets. Boeing shares have been on a tear this year and are just on the verge of recovering from a rare pullback.
BA stock was the subject of end-of-year profit taking but should start flying again as 2014 gets started.
Note that earnings will be reported on Jan. 28. Boeing has a history of positive surprises, and analyst estimates have stayed steady at $1.55 per share. I expect shares to climb steadily ahead.
WageWorks (WAGE)
WageWorks (WAGE) is a company that provides employee benefits (such as flexible spending accounts, health savings accounts and parking/transit benefits) through a cloud-based service.
As conventional techs have struggled to remain innovative and suffered lower margins, younger companies like WAGE have carved out a successful niche by creating cloud-based networking and software solutions that allow managers and employees to access sales, benefits, training, data and other analytics and information on the go — creating a world where all data is always synced on every device.
WageWorks is able to count fully 50% of Fortune 100 companies and 36.8% of the Fortune 500 companies among its clientele; it's no surprise that large client companies have welcomed the cloud networking trend as it helps them save money and makes key data more easily accessible.
WAGE shares have been in a nice uptrend for several months, spurred on by the U.S. Treasury's replacing the "use it or lose it" rule for flex spending accounts with a new ability to roll over $500 into the next plan year.
Olin Corp. (OLN)
Among the "cool kids" that posted new highs during the December post-"taper" announcement rally, Olin Corp. (OLN) is definitely a keeper. It is one of the oldest chemical manufacturers in the U.S., but still is a leader in just about every one of its markets: the No. 1 supplier of chlorine in North America, top producer of industrial bleach, third-largest supplier of caustic soda, and the second-largest supplier of potassium hydroxide in the Western Hemisphere.
Olin also participates in the ammunition business; it purchased Winchester Co. in 1931, and the Winchester segment produces all major gauges and calibers of shotgun shells and ammunition for pistols and rifles, as well as reloading components, for both sporting and military use. Across its chemicals and ammunition segments, the company is well-diversified. No single client makes up more than 7% of its sales, and even the U.S. government agencies only account for 5% of Olin's sales in total.
As for the shares, OLN stock is up nearly 200% since the late-2008 drop, including a nearly 35% increase in 2013 alone — and in addition to the capital appreciation, Olin has consistently distributed a quarterly dividend since the late 1980s.
Jon Markman may hold some of the aforementioned securities in his Trader's Advantage or Counterpoint Options portfolios.

An honest review: Carnival Paradise Cruise Review by sinkhole
Overall Member Rating
An honest review
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: Tampa
Embarkation: Tampa has valet parking. A nice option we took advantage of for $20.00 more. We were in the grand suite so we had priority boarding. Very smooth boarding, but I did miss not having a steward escort us to our room. We were on our own to find it. It was a lovely cabin with a leather sectional sofa, additional club chairs, large dressing/makeup area, nice size walk in closet and bathroom.
I did not like that they automatically put the tip for cabin steward, waiters/waitresses on the bill. We are generous tippers and the service was much better before they started doing this. Now they are a bit lacking in the service dept.
The ship is showing it's age. We expected that, but not as much maintenance going on in ports as there used to be.
The ship is slightly inconvenient getting from deck to deck. Watch the prices for jewelry in the onboard gift shop. More You can do much better at a port, however you must haggle.
The food: We are not big eaters. The Lido deck buffet was not good with the exception of the Mongolian Grill which we ate at once during embarkation. The rest we ate in the dining room. I would rate the food good, not great. The warm melting cake varied every night from fair to excellent. No other dessert was anything to rave about. No more midnight buffets. We never ate at them anyway so we didn't miss it.
A bathing suit from a previous guest was found behind the shower curtain. We had been showering in there for 3 days prior to the discovery.
The spa was fabulous! My husband had his teeth whitened and I had a keratin hair treatment, cut and blowout. Purchase the products to take home to maintain the beautiful hair! The truly are great.
Disembarkation is quick and easy or laid back and easy. Your choice.
All in all we had a wonderful time spending time together.
We always cruise in suites and it's back to Celebrity Cruise Lines for us. Carnival is about fun, Celebrity is about luxury. Less

Good quality top
By Irenka
from Brampton
The only thing to say to others is that they should order a size up. I am a medium and this medium is too tight around the middle. I kept it hoping to lose weight because I liked it so much.Lovely fabric and the decoration and shape of the neckline is great. I keep looking to see if someone returns a large but I doubt it will happen.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

SAN DIEGO (TheStreet) -- After this week's wildly disappointing user-growth stats for Twitter (TWTR), it appears the company hasn't figured out or recognized its most obvious challenge: Convincing people they never have to tweet.
I first raised this issue in a piece here in my blog last October, and again last night in a piece on LinkedIn (LNKD) headlined, "What Ails Twitter."
In the LinkedIn piece, I make it very clear: The one ad campaign Twitter should run should be: "You never have to Tweet. Not once. Not never."
I'm convinced most people who have not yet joined Twitter, after all the hoopla, are either intimidated by it (believe it or not: seems too techie, and a lot of people are technophobes) or wired in a way that they couldn't care less about access to the immediacy of information.
These are serious, but not necessarily insurmountable, hurdles.
When I mentioned Twitter to people who aren't on it, the reaction often is along the lines of two things: "I don't want to tweet" or "I have no interest."
Reality: Unlike those of us who live and even thrive in a real-time world, there are a lot (and I do mean lot) of people who don't. And the engineers and other geniuses in Silicon Valley, who continue to advance the way we think, compute and engage, are sometimes so close to it that they can't see beyond their myopia.
Engineers, after all, may be creative, but they also tend to see things in black-and-white. Twitter faces that challenge -- to convince people they can create their own news feed following whatever and whomever they find compelling.

Visitors to Audubon State Historic Site near St. Francisville can walk along the same paths as one of the most famous naturalists in American history during an Audubon Arbor Day Program on Saturday, Jan. 19.
From 10 a.m. until 4 p.m., visitors are invited to participate in National Arbor Day with talks about John James Audubon's bird paintings, guided walks, and children's and family nature activities such as tree planting or plant discovery. An extended tour takes the visitor through an audio-visual history of the park, a presentation on the prints John James Audubon created while at Oakley House, followed by a guided house and grounds tour. Participants should allow at least 90 minutes for this activity and wear comfortable shoes, as much walking is involved.
"These programs trace the legacy of John James Audubon, in getting people in touch with nature," said John House, site manager. "We want every visitor to Audubon State Historic Site to experience the site's rich heritage."
Audubon State Historic Site is the setting for the 200-year-old Oakley House, temporary home and inspiration to John James Audubon in the 1800s. The park includes a museum, picnic areas, historic buildings, pavilion, and nature trail. Placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973, Oakley House and its lush natural settings are open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The $4 adult admission to Audubon State Historic Site includes the site video history presentation, the plantation house tour and all special programs. Children (12 and under) and senior citizens (62 and older) are admitted free.
Audubon SHS is located 30 minutes north of Baton Rouge near St. Francisville on La. 965 in West Feliciana Parish. For more information, email email@example.com or call (888) 677-2838 or (225) 635-3739.
And they're off!
It won't be thoroughbred horses racing, but zebras instead when the Fair Grounds Race Course & Slots in New Orleans hosts its first-ever zebra exhibition race on Saturday, Jan. 12. The event will be paired with the return of ostrich and mascot racing, which drew crowds in August.
The special races are scheduled to start after 6 p.m. at the racetrack, 751 Gentilly Blvd.
General admission will be $12 at the door. Children 12 and younger will be admitted free. For dining and box seat reservations, call (504) 943-2200.
To book a party of 25 or more, call (504) 948-1285.

Remembering battle
Events at Chalmette Battlefield will mark the 198th anniversary of the Battle of New Orleans this week. A wreath-laying ceremony is planned for 10 a.m. Tuesday, Jan. 8.

Dressed as civilians and soldiers from 1815, they'll share their stories, fire cannons and muskets, and explain the importance of the battle in American history.
A skirmish re-enactment will start at 7 p.m. Friday, at which troops will recreate the night battle of Dec. 23, 1814, at historic de La Ronde Oaks. There will be no parking at the re-enactment site. The first shuttle leaves the public parking area at 6:30 p.m. The event is free. For more information, call (504) 589-3882.

Chilliwack man killed in Fraser Canyon crash
A Chilliwack man died Monday in a Highway 1 head-on collision in the Fraser Canyon.
Mounties say the crash occurred as the 78-year-old man drove south on Highway 1 approaching the Ferrabee Tunnel, just south of Hell's Gate.
Police say the man lost control of the van he was driving and was hit by a northbound semi truck. The truck driver attempted to avoid the van and hit the cement retainers on the side of the road.
The collision between the two vehicle caused what Mounties called "catastrophic damage" to the van. The Chilliwack man was dead at the scene while the truck driver was taken to Fraser Canyon Hospital. Mounties say weather may have been a factor in the crash.
? Any witnesses are asked to contact Fraser Valley Traffic Services at 604-702-4039.

As reported in The Press on Tuesday, a Parliamentary Committee of MPs warned in their recent report that the UK's ability to feed itself is threatened by "complacency".
They point out that while 20 years ago we produced 87 per cent of the food we consumed, today that figure is 68 per cent.
This is a cause for concern because climate change, population growth and the steady depletion of natural resources are combining to threaten food production worldwide, meaning that in future it will be harder to import cheap food from abroad.
What makes this trend to be less self-sufficient in food even more worrying is that Britain faces a significant farmland shortage as it is, with an estimated extra seven million hectares of farmland needed by 2030 just to meet the demands of an expanding population.
All of which makes the proposals contained in York's Local Plan to build thousands of houses on prime farmland seem very short-sighted, if not simply foolish.
There may well be a need for more houses, but not if it means that citizens of York will face food shortages, as well as much higher prices for such basics as bread, milk and vegetables.
Clearly more effort needs to be made to identify brownfield sites that are suitable for development, while ensuring that farmland is regarded as strictly off limits.
Colin Campbell, Fulford, York.

I'm just a girl behind a computer…that's how I see myself. Growing up, I never quite knew what my life was going to be like as an adult. I definitely never thought I'd be living the life I am right now. I'm doing what I love and I'm amazingly blessed. So, when I see my tiny face in the pages of a magazine, I get a little excited! Just a little.
The fact that I used to read Cosmopolitan Magazine religiously…could also be the reason I'm a tad excited.
You can find me in the Fall 2013 issue of Cosmopolitan for Latinas on page 18. There I am! As part of the "Blogger Spotlight." I'm there with Tanisha of ChicaandtheCity.com, Angelica of NewLatina.net, Mercedes of BeChicMag.com, and Rachel of DigitalLatina.com.
I share my must-have item for fall. Do you agree with me?

A recent article in the Chicago Tribune noted that his holiday buying season was good for retailers. It also noted that good inventory management was part of the success:
Memories of having to take unexpected markdowns of up to 70 percent on leftover holiday merchandise during the recession prompted retailers to keep inventories low during the critical months of November and December. The strategy has helped retailers better manage their businesses, but it also means clearance racks are expected to be thin.
Good inventory optimization are critical to a firm's success. Only by optimizing inventory across the supply chain can you truly optimize inventory within the stores. This often can involve both the retailer and the suppliers jointly optimizing inventory. Proper inventory optimization can give your supply chain the flexibility to meet unexpected high demand with a minimal amount of inventory invested in the system.
As retailers try to continue the momentum of this holiday season, inventory optimization will play a critical role--- too much inventory creates a financial risk if sales do not materialize and too little inventory creates a risk of losing revenue or market share.

Ok don't laugh at this one but the family is planning beach excersions and would like to know if we have to pack beach towels. Would it be just better to but them on the ship or can we "borrow" them from our friends at RCL?
Not a dumb question at all... in fact, I had been planning on asking the same question (except, for when we dock at St. Thomas and Nassau).
I hope someone replies soon, for WE DEPART IN LESS THAN 2 WEEKS! I CAN HARDLY CONCENTRATE ON WORK!
Not a dumb question at all. The answer is no you should not bring your own towel. RCL supplies your room with fresh beach towels every night. It makes it very convenient because you do not have wet dirty towels in your room. When taking these towels off the ship you need to watch them and take care of them because you are charged $20 for every towel not returned. I do not know how well they enforce the fee, at times we had three or four extra non used towels at any given time, but who wants to chance the fees. Have a wonderful cruise
Many of the ships have towels that you use when you are by the pool. So there is no need to pack towels.
I will second that. They do allow you to take your towels off the ship, don't bring your own. In fact, as I recall, they have towels to hand out as you leave the ship at port. Is that right?, or maybe that was only at the private island. 11 days 'til your cruise! -I'm very jealous, I have 100 days until my next one!

Provencal Salmon With Tomato Basil Sauce
Recipe by my3beachbabes
This is a Wolfgang Puck Recipe. It looked delicious so I'm posting it here for save keeping! Prep time does not include marinating time.
Top Review by Zurie
MADE FOR ZWT4. This was a nice, restaurant-type recipe. Being in South Africa I do not have easy access to fresh salmon, a fish not found round our shores. The imported salmon is very expensive, and the frozen salmon not really worth the trouble. No matter, I used cob, a local ocean fish which I love. The sauce was fine, but not outstanding. To my taste the flavour of tarragon did not fit in here. I also warmed the sauce -- in the recipe it seems as if the plates and fish are warm but the sauce is cold -- unless one can serve this from oven to table it might work, but I know my husband will not like a cold sauce with hot fish! Anyway, we loved this! Thanks!
See Discussion:1 Review
Ingredients Nutrition
- 4 large ripe tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and finely chopped
- 2 shallots, minced
- 1⁄3 cup fresh basil leaf, chopped
- 1⁄2 lemon, zest of
- 1⁄2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons sherry wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh chives
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh tarragon
- salt & freshly ground black pepper
- cayenne pepper
- extra virgin olive oil
- salt & freshly ground black pepper
- 6 sprigs fresh basil (to garnish)
- 6 (6 ounce) fillets fresh salmon
Directions See How It's Made
- Make the sauce several hours or the night before. In a non-reactive mixing bowl, stir together the chopped tomatoes, shallots, basil, lemon zest, olive oil, vinegar, chives, and tarragon. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and a little cayenne. Cover the bowl and leave at room temperature to marinate for several hours or overnight (if your kitchen is very hot, refrigerate.).
- About 1/2 hour before serving time, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Cover a baking sheet with foil and lightly oil the foil with olive oil. When the oven is hot, switch it to its broiler function. Brush the salmon fillets with olive oil, season them with salt and pepper, and arrange them on a baking sheet. Place the salmon under the broiler about 2 inches from the flame and cook until done the top is very lightly browned and the flesh is still slightly pink in the center, 7 to 8 minutes. Meanwhile, taste the sauce and, if necessary, adjust the seasonings to taste.
- Spoon a generous amount of the sauce onto the middle of each of 6 heated serving plates. Place the salmon fillets on top of the sauce. Top each fillet with a basil sprig. Serve immediately, passing any remaining sauce separately.
