BONN (Feb. 16)
Foreign Minister Abba Eban has aroused a storm of anger here on the eve of his first visit to West Germany by a remark he allegedly made before departing from Israel yesterday. Mr. Eban was quoted as having told newsmen at Lydda Airport that he would not visit Germany in a private capacity. His forthcoming visit is an official one, at the invitation of the Federal Government. Newspapers reacted violently to what they considered a rebuff and emotions are running high in official quarters and among the public. Newsmen wanted to know if the Cabinet had given any consideration to Mr. Eban's remark. The Government spokesman, Konrad Ahlers said it had not because it was not the Government's business. Stringent security measures are being taken to protect Mr. Eban in the wake of last week's Arab terrorist attack on El Al passengers at Munich Airport. The itinerary of his West German visit has not been announced.
(Foreign Minister Abba Eban of Israel was received by Queen Juliana of The Netherlands today in Amsterdam. He met later with Prime Minister Pieter DeJong and with the President of the Dutch Senate. Mr. Eban also had a lengthy discussion with Foreign Minister Joseph Luns. He arrived here yesterday on the first leg of a European tour that will take him to Belgium, West Germany and Luxembourg. He met with the Liberal Dutch Senator, Sidney Vandenberg and with 250 Dutch industrialists at the latter's home in Wassenar. Mr. Eban reportedly stressed the necessity of Israel's admittance to the European Economic Community. Dutch police meanwhile have posted guards at Jewish community buildings in Rotterdam and Arnhem. The Israel Embassy and other Jewish premises in Amsterdam were placed under police guard yesterday.)

Investigating Murder - Detective Work and the Police Response to Criminal Homicide - Hardback
Investigating Murder provides a unique insight into how police detectives investigate and solve murders. Based upon fieldwork observation of murder squads at work, interviews with detectives and detailed analysis of police case files, it provides an original and innovative account of the practices and processes involved in the investigation of homicides, as well as some of the problems that are often encountered in the conduct of this work.
Drawing upon the detailed empirical data collected, the book develops a conceptual framework for understanding the methods that detectives seek to utilise in order to identify suspects and construct a case against them. Situating such work in its social and legal context this major study shows how interviews, forensic evidence, and other investigative techniques are used by detectives to manufacture a narrative of the crime that sets out how the incident took place, and who did what to whom. In so doing, the book does much to further our understandings of detective work, how detectives understand their role, the problems they encounter and the solutions they manufacture to solve these problems.
The description and analysis provided will be of interest to academic researchers and students in the fields of policing and criminology, as well as practitioners working in the criminal justice system

ST. PETERSBURG — When Charlie Kimball speeds through the downtown streets at this weekend's Honda Grand Prix of St. Petersburg, he'll continually monitor his blood sugar through a device on his steering wheel. If his levels drop, he can sip orange juice through a straw.
Such is life for the Indy Racing League's only driver with diabetes. The 25-year-old from Indianapolis insists the disease doesn't put him at a disadvantage; it just requires a greater level of preparation.
"I try to apply the same discipline in my diabetes management as I do in my life as a professional athlete," said Kimball, who competes in the Firestone IndyLights series, which is one level below the main IndyCar series.
Kimball has type 1 diabetes, a disease in which the body fails to produce insulin to properly control blood sugar. When levels rise, diabetics can feel tired, hungry and thirsty and can experience blurred vision. When blood-sugar levels drop as a result of taking insulin, symptoms include headache, nervousness and weakness. If not helped quickly, the diabetic can lose consciousness.
Such symptoms wreak havoc on anyone's life but can be disastrous for someone behind the wheel of a race car, traveling at speeds that can exceed 100 mph.
Kimball says that on race days, his preparation starts "from the second I wake up in the morning." He injects insulin through a prefilled pen device and checks his blood sugar constantly. Starting two hours before the race, he checks his levels at 30-minute intervals.
Then, inside the car, he wears a continuous glucose monitor, which is a patch attached to his arm that has a wire inserted under the skin. The device transmits his blood-sugar readings to a receiver attached to his steering wheel. If his levels drop, he can sip orange juice through a straw in his helmet.
Kimball, who has been driving race cars since he was 16, was diagnosed with diabetes in 2007. At the time, he was competing in a racing series in Europe.
"I went to the doctor with a skin rash and came out with diabetes. It was a big shock," Kimball said. "I had no family history, and I was very ignorant about symptoms and what it meant to me as a person."
He put his racing career on hold to find out what having diabetes would mean to him in everyday life, but also to his career as a pro athlete. He wondered: "Am I going to be able to get back behind the wheel?"
Over the next several months, he found out he could. He returned to competition in 2008 in Europe, before making the move to the U.S.-based IndyLights series last year. There, he finished 10th in his debut season, including a fourth-place finish at a race in Watkins Glen, N.Y.
Kimball says being a professional racer makes living with diabetes a little easier in some respects. He didn't have to change much about his diet, though he works with a nutritionist to make sure he eats foods that are nutritionally dense.
He said his preparation is so good that his blood-sugar levels don't fluctuate much when he's racing. They fluctuate more when he's working out in the gym.
Dr. Frank Diamond, a diabetes expert at the University of South Florida, says athletes can face an extra challenge regulating blood sugar, due to physical exertion and stress.
"It creates the challenge of trying to predict and maintain your blood sugar in a reasonable range," Diamond said.
But he said many athletes are able to successfully manage the condition. He said there's no reason someone like Kimball, who monitors his condition closely, shouldn't be able to compete at the highest levels, and do so safely.
Blair Perschbacher, Kimball's engineer with Andretti Autosport, said all drivers undergo a rigorous and thorough annual physical to make sure they are fit to drive in the series.
Kimball "was treated the same as any driver," Perschbacher said. "He got through that just fine."
More than 23 million people in the United States have diabetes; most have type 2, once known as adult-onset and often associated with obesity. About 5 to 10 percent have the more severe type 1, whose cause is unknown.
Kimball says the Indy Racing League has been very supportive, and his main sponsor for the 2010 season is Novo Nordisk, the company that supplies his insulin. His No. 26 car is emblazoned with the words "Levemir FlexPen," which is the prefilled insulin pen he uses.
"Racing allows me to tell my story — to tell people with diabetes that it doesn't have to slow you down," he said.

text: THE IMAGE OF DANIEL 2Lonnie BrsnamDaniel 2:31—36 says, "Thou, 0 King, sawest, and behold a great image. This great image, whose brightness was excellent, stood before thee; and the form thereof was terrible. This image's head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass, his legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay. Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces. Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floor; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain and filled the whole earth. This is the dream; and we will tell the interpretation thereof before the king."(Old King James Verson).The second chapter of the book of Daniel tells us of a very disturbing dream which Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylonia had. It troubled him so that he could not sleep. To make it worse, the dream had gotten away from him, and he could not remember the things he saw in the dream. The dream was a very urgent and important matter to the king, for he was greatly disturbed by it. He had to know the meaning of this terrible dream, and there were highly paid men in his court who were supposed to have the wisdom to clear up a situation like this. Forthwith, he called in the magicians, astrologers, sorcerers, and the Chaldeans. The magicians practiced magic and used superstitious rites and ceremonies. The astrologers were men who pretended to foretell future events by the study of the stars. The superstition of astrology was extensively cultivated by the Eastern nations of antiquity, and it is, pathetically, one of the notable superstitions of the twenty-first century. Sorcerers were such as pretended to hold communication with the dead. The last group mentioned were Chaldeans, probably a sect of philosophers similar to the other groups mentioned. A desperate struggle followed between the king and these so—called wise men, for they could not explain the dream. Of course, they could not do it because they did not know the future. They could not tell the future even as astrologers, fortune tellers, and clairvoyants cannot tell the future today. The nature of the king̓s dream wade pretension impossible; they argued that they must have something to begin with. But Nebuchadnezzar meant business and was smart enough to see through their arguments. He ordered all wise men in Babylon to be put to death for being liars and imposters. At last Daniel the prophet of God was called in before the king, and he told the meaning of the dream. If you are interested in guesswork, superstition, and human speculation then call for an astrologer, or a fortune teller, or a clairvoyant, but if you want to know the will of God, call for a man of God who knows the scriptures. That is what Nebuchadnezzar did. The first thing revealed in the dream was that four successive world kingdoms were to appear in human history. This dream occurred about 600 B.C., and the king saw a huge image whose head was of gold; the breast and arms of silver, the belly and thighs of brass, and the legs were of iron with the feet being a mixture of iron and clay. In verses 37,38 Daniel said to the king, "Thou, 0 King art this head of gold". The head of the image represented Babylonia, over which Nebuchadnezzar ruled as king. The Babylonian Empire ruled the world from 612 B.C. to 539 B.C. Hence, the image represents a series of historical events to take place from the time of the Babylonian Empire. The head of the image represents Babylonia in the sixth century B.C. In verse 39 Daniel continues to explain the image, "And after thee shall shall rise another kingdom inferior to thee." This is the explanation given of that part of the image represented by the breasts and arms of silver. It is a known fact of history that the Medo-Persian Empire succeeded the Babylonian Empire. We know the day, month, and year that the Babylonian Empire fell to the Medes and Persians. Cyrus the Great, King of Persia captured the great city of Babylon on October 13, 539 B.C. Cyrus lowered the Euphrates river, and his army entered the city marching under the gates through the river bed. Because of a drunken party that night, the Babylonians left the inner gates unguarded and the Medo-Persian army took the city. You can read about this famous night in the fifth chapter of the book of Daniel. The Persian Empire ruled the world from 539 B.C. to 331 B.C., a period of two hundred eight years. Daniel predicted that the Medo-Persian Empire would be inferior to the Babylonian Empire, just as silver is inferior to gold. This was referring to the fact that the Medo-Persian Empire was not as wealthy and prosperous, and the characterof the Persian kings was inferior to the Chaldean kings. Daniel holds the distinction of being the world's greatest historian. He differs from all other historians in that he wrote history before it happened. He pre—wrote history! The supernatural foreknowledge revealed in Bible prophecies is the greatest of all evidences that the Bible is a super— natural revelation from the one true God. A second world empire succeeded the Babylonian just as Daniel predicted. In verse 39 Daniel declares that a third kingdom would follow the Medo-Persian Empire. The prophet spoke of "A Third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth." Once more history tells us what this third kingdom was. This was a prediction of the rise of the Greek world empire which was founded by Alexander the Great. It lasted a very short time, from 331 B.C. to 323 B.C. This great kingdom lasted but eight years because of the sudden death of Alexander the Great, who died as a young man in a drunken spree in the very height of his glory. The Greek Empire had less external magnificence than those which preceeded it, and it was founded and maintained by force of arms. However, the Greek world empire was more extensive than the two preceding kingdoms. It was foretold in Daniel 2:39 that this kingdom should, "bear rule over all the earth." It was the main boast of Alexander the Great that he had subdued the whole world. As Daniel continues to explain the image, he foretells the rise of a fourth world kingdom to follow that of Alexander the Great. Verse 40 says, "And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron breaks in pieces and subdues all things: and as iron that breaks all these, it shall break in pieces and bruise." The fourth kingdom corresponded to the legs of iron and the feet of iron and part of clay (Verses 41,42). The fourth kingdom is easily identified as the Pagan Roman Empire of the Caesars which succeeded Alexander's Empire. The Bible does not say whether the two legs had any special significance, but it is generally thought to refer to the two general divisions into which the Roman Eempire afterwards divided——the East and West. The ten toes of the image probably refers to the ten kingdoms of Western Europe, which grew out of the Roman Empire after its fall in 476 A.D. However, this is not stated in the vision, nor is it a part of the inspired interpretation. I mentioned the toes and their possible meaning because there is much speculation about the ten toes by speculative prophecy preachers today. It is quite clear that the ten toes do not refer to the nations of Western Europe in the twentieth century. It is absolutely certain that the fouth kingdom represents the Roman Empire which lasted from 44 B.C. to 476. A.D. After 476 A.D. the Roman Empi was divided nto ten kingdoms known as the Holy Roman Empire. So in no sense can this image refer to the nations of Western today as he premillilnarians are wrongly teaching. The Roman Empire, for a time, was indeed as strong as iron. No other people have ever made such extensive conquests through so long a period of time as did the Romans. The second thing revealed in this vision of the great image was that in the days of this fourth world empire of Rome, the God of heaven was going to establish on this earth the kingdom of God, and it would never be destroyed. Verse 34 described a stone cut out without hands, which smote the image upon its feet. Daniel explains the meaning of this stone in verse 44, "And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever." The fact that this stone was cut out of a mountain without hands means it was of divine origin. It was of God and not of man. Hence, this stone represented a fifth kingdom in the vision. It~as not a human kingdom like the other four kingdoms of Babylonia, Medo—Persia, Greece, and Rome. Daniel predicts that the fifth universal world kingdom was to be the kingdom of God or the kingdom of heaven, also called the Church of God and the Church of Christ. Now just what was this kingdom of God which smote the four world kingdoms, destroyed them, and took their place? Has it come to earth or is it still future? This great image prophecy answers these questions for us. This kingdom of God had to come to earth during the days of the Roman Empire, the fourth world kingdom in the vision. That means it had to come to earth between 44 B.C~. and 476 A.D. The Western Empire ended forever in 476 A.D., and if the kingdom of God did not come before that ending date, the prophecy of Daniel 2 would have failed. However, this prophecy did not fail, and God̓s kingdom did come to this earth between 44 B.C. and 476 A.D., just as Daniel 2 predicted. If you will stay with me, I will show you this fact from the scriptures. Jesus began His preching about 30 A.D., and the Bible says that He preached the gospel of the kingdom of God. I will show you this fact from the scriptures. Jesus began his preaching ministry about 30 A.D., and the Bible says that he preached the gospel of the kingdom of God. His exact message expressed in Mark 1:15, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye and believe the gospel." These words have a direct ref reference to Daniel 2, for Jesus said the time is led and it is time for the kingdom of God to begin. When he said that the kingdom is at hand; he meant it is close and will soon begin. Anything which is "at hand" is close. Jesus said that the time is fulfilled because the four world kingdoms of Daniel 2 had made their appearance, and the fourth world kingdom was in existence when Jesus lived. Most people in the religious world disregard Daniel 2 and the teachings of Jesus and teach that this kingdom will not come to earth till Jesus comes back and sets up his kingdom on the earth for a thousand years. This is a myth. They try to get around the plain teachings of Jesus by saying God intended to begin the kingdom in the first century but postponed it because of the unbelief of the Jews. The Bible does not teach this false theory; God did not postpone the kingdom, and it did begin between 44 B.C. and 476 A.D. Jesus Christ spoke correctly and truly when he said about 30 A.D, "The time is fulfilbd and the kingdom is at hand." Any theory, opinion, or view which denies this is incorrect. Furthermore, Jesus revealed just how close at hand the kingdom was during his earthly ministry. In Mark 9:1 Jesus said, "Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power." Now, this was a time prophecy of Jesus about the kingdom of God, and he said it would be on this earth within the lifetime of his listeners. The kingdom had to come to earth within that generation, or this prophecy would have failed and made him look foolish. Jesus was omniscient and knew everything; he knew the Jews, as a whole, would not receive his kingdom. He foreknew the unbelief of the Jews, but still predicted he would set up his kingdom on this planet within the lifetime of his listeners. The kingdom ad its beginning on earth in the city of Jerusalem in 33 A.D., fifty days after the death of Christ. Three thousand Jews became Christians on that day. inaugurating the coming of God's kingdom(Acts 2:41,47). In Matthew 16:18,19 Jesus called His church the kingdom of heaven. Thus, the Church of Christ, the Church of God, the, the kingdom of heaven, the kingdom of Christ, and the kingdom of God are all synonymous expressions and all mean the same thing. This is an elementary New Testament truth, and there is absolutely no excuse for a student of the Bible to be ignorant of this fact. The kingdom Of God is here and has been here since 33 A.D., but the Gentiles have denied its existence and have transferred its beginning to the second coming of Christ. What presumption for man to tell God he has not set up his kingdom on earth when it has been here nearly two thousand years! How displeased God must be with people who deny he has brought his kingdom to earth and transfer its beginning to a thousand year period after the coming of Christ. This is to misrepresent God, and that is serious business. About 64 A.D. Paul wrote these words to Christians, saying that God: "has delivered us from the power of darkness, and has translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son" (Colossians 1:13). This says that God Christians from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of Christ. Christians are, therefore, in the kingdom of Christ. The entire number of New Testament Christians on this earth constitute the kingdom of Christ or the kingdom of God. How could the word of God state that Christians are in the kingdom of Christ, if it is not to come to this earth till Jesus Comes back? If God postponed the kingdom, how could Christians be in it? These arguments are unanswerable. The theory of a thousand year reign of Christ on this earth after the second coming of Christ is a hoax, a human speculation and a man-made theory. When Christ returns, the judgment will take place, and the human race will go to hell or heaven. There will be no kingdom of univ__ ersal peace on this earth at that time. The earth is to be burned up according to 2 Peter 3:10. The inspired writer of the book Hebrews said to Christians in chapter 12:28, "Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear." Scripture declares that Christians have received the kingdom, and that was written about 65 A.D. In view of that declaration, how can men say and people believe that God postponed the kingdom, that Christians will not receive the kingdom till Jesus comes back and sets up the kingdom for a thousand years? Returning to the image of Daniel 2 those who deny the beginning of the kingdom in the first century raise the objection that the Messianic kingdom in Daniel 2 was to suddenly destroy the image. They argue that the Christian religion or the Church of Christ didnt do that, and so they transfer it to the future. Where does Daniel 2 speak of suddenness? It speaks only of destruction. When did the Church of Christ smite the image ef Daniel 2? In a sense all the kingdoms of Daniel 2 were standing when the Christian religion began in 33 A.D. The Roman empire possessed all the distinguishing marks and characteristics of the three preceding empires. All the glory, splendor, and power of the Babylonian, Medo—Persian, and Greek empires were merged into the Roman Empire. The idolatrous religions of all these kingdoms all found recognition in the various forms of paganism existing in the Roman Empire. The stone which struck the image in its feet was the Church of Christ striking the Roman Empire in the first, second, third, and fourth centuries A.D. The religions of Christianity and Paganism locked horns in the first century, and Christianity dealt it a death blow. Within thirty years the kingdom of Christ had spread thrughout the Roman Empie(Colossians 1:6). About 300 A.D., the religion of Christ became the official religion of the Roman Empire. The final flow to the image of Daniel 2 came in 476 A.D. when the Western Roman Empire fell, and since that date no world empire has ever existed but the spiritual, world empire of Jesus Christ mentioned in Daniel 2:44. The prophecy in the image of Daniel 2 has been conipletely fulfilled. The universal world kingdoms of ancient times have passed away, and the kingdom of Christ has taken their place. The only peace plan God has for this earth is the kIngdom of christ which was established in the days of the apostles. Objectors maintain that the religion of Christ has not brought peace to this earths Yes, and the main reason for this is that religious people have denied its existence and have so divided the Christian religion with sects and parties that the Christian religion cannot make an all out assault on the world. If all professed followers of Christ would unite in the one church which Jesus buit, call themselves by the name Christian only, drop all party names, and all doctrines which disagree with the New Testament, great blessings of peace and salvation would flow to the entire hurran race. A divided Christendom was never intended to bring peace to this earth. If you are interested in the peace of the earth, then become a citizen in Christ̓s kingdom and the church which he purchased with his blood, and work with God's people as they try to change the hearts of men and women from hatred to love. Jesus said, "Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that. believeth not shall be damned," (Mark 16:16)

Hey Guys! Joslyn here, from bravelittlelady.com! Colby and I decided to collab a bit, and we both made a bath related DIY! To go check out what she made, head over to my blog! I'm very excited to be here! 🙂
So… Let's get started!
Bath Jellies are superrrrr fun. But.. are more on the pricy side. Lush sells ones, that range from $7+! I know it may not seem like a lot at first, but each product doesn't come with a lot. Which is why I wanted to show you guys how to make something just like it! Here's how you can make your own, at a fraction of the price. Let's get started!
What You Will Need-
Gelatine. This is what created the jelly like feel!
Glitter (Completely Optional)
Food Coloring (Again, Optional)
Hot Water
Essential Oils (Yet Again, Optional)
Liquid Soap (Or shampoo, body wash, conditioner, you get the point….)
Container (I chose this lil glass jar. Tupperware will work, or even a mold!)
Step 1.
This step depends on what your gelatin packet suggests. I decided to make 2/4 of the packets, and 1 cup per packet. So all together, I used 2 packets of gelatin, and 2 cups of water! Now, Stir until completely dissolved.
Step 2.
Add 1 Teaspoon of salt. Again, stir until completely dissolved.
Step 3.
Add ½ a cup of your soap. I chose unscented dish soap, which is why later, i'll be adding an essential oil. Once again, mix mix mix.
Step 4.
Now, add food coloring if desired. I wanted the green color, a little more vibrant which is why I added it.
Step 5.
Add your glitter, and essential oils if wanted. Both are optional! A little goes along way.
Step 6.
Fill into your mold, or jar. Now just set them in the fridge for about 2-3 hours. You'll know when their dry, when they don't have a watery of slimy consistency.
Step 7.
Pop the jellies out of your mold/jar and enjoy! Remember, these are liquid, so be sure to refrigerate after your done. Yay!
I hope you all enjoyed this little DIY! 🙂 Be sure to check out my blog, bravelittlelady.com to see what Colby created. Have a fabulous day!
Remember To Stay Brave,
Thanks Joslyn for the awesome post – I can't wait to make this! I love how easy it is and how great the end result is. <3 Love it!

BASINGSTOKE Bison player/coach Doug Sheppard says that this weekend could be crucial in deciding whether the Herd hang on to second place in the English Premier League.
The Bison host local rivals the Slough Jets at the Basingstoke Arena on Saturday (face-off 6.30pm), before travelling to face the Manchester Phoenix, their main rivals for second spot, the following day (face-off 5.30pm).
Sheppard's men go into the weekend five points clear of the Phoenix, who are currently third – and the Bison boss is determined his will side hang on to second place.
"It's a big weekend and could be crucial when it comes to the final standings," he said. "We definitely want to be the second seed for the play-offs so it would be nice to pick up four points this weekend.
"Sunday's game is a four-point game really. Manchester is never an easy place to go to but we have had some success against the Phoenix this season and hopefully that can continue."
The Bison go into this weekend having lost their last four games, and five of their last six league games, a run that has a lot to do with their injury problems.
Jacob Corson-Heron is likely to remain on the sidelines for the rest of the season, while Kurt Reynolds and Andy Melachrino, who were big players for the Herd earlier in the season, have been out for several weeks.
It is hoped that both will return to the line-up in time for the play-offs, but the Bison will have to do without them this weekend.
To make matters worse, it is unlikely that either forward Nicky Watt or defenceman Alex Symonds will feature this weekend after picking up knocks in the 3-0 defeat to the Sheffield Steeldogs last week.
Coventry youngster Matt Selby could return after injury, but if not, Sheppard will be left with just three defencemen and nine forwards, including youngsters Cameron Wynn and Stuart Mogg.
"We are going to be pretty short defensively this week," Sheppard said. "It looks like Greg Chambers, Joe Greener or both are going to have to help out in defence.
"We have to get all of our guys back as soon as possible to make sure we are ready for the play-offs, but we have got to start playing better. We need to take things into our own hands and help ourselves."
The Bison will be on a revenge mission on Saturday, looking to get some payback after Slough knocked them out of the EPL Cup on penalty-shots last week.
Sheppard said: "Slough have just knocked us out in the semi-finals of the cup and that is fresh in our minds but we just need to worry about playing good hockey."

The Impact of Training on Unemployment Duration in West Germany -Combining a Discrete Hazard Rate Model with Matching Techniques-
In this study we are concerned with the impact of vocational training on the individual's unemployment duration in West Germany. The data basis used is the German Socio-Economic Panel (GSOEP) for the period from 1984 to 1994. To resolve the intriguing sample selection problem, i.e. to find an adequate control group for the group of trainees, we employ a matching algorithm which was developed in the statistical literature. This matching algorithm uses as the main matching variable the individual propensity score to pariticipate in training, which is obtained by estimating a random effects probit model. On the basis of the matched sample a discrete time hazard rate model is utilized to assess the impact of vocational training on unemployment duration. Our results indicate, that training raises the transition rate of unemployed into employment in the short as well as in the long run.

One-Pan Mediterranean Chicken Pasta is a quick, 30-minute meal gluten-free meal that's full of fresh flavor!
Happy Monday everyone, I hope you had a nice weekend! I've just returned from a quick trip to visit my Grandma in Ohio with my Mom.
Without going into too much detail, she needed us and we needed to see her, so we hopped a flight early Saturday morning and returned late last night. Even though we were only there for two days we did a lot, including eating at two of her favorite restaurants, Station Square Ristorante (their charbroiled ribeye!!) and Bob Evans, her all-time fave. Love it!
We also made a special stop at Fellows Riverside Gardens. One, because it was a lovely Sunday afternoon to be outside and two, because she thought it would be interesting to feature on my blog in case you're ever in Youngstown, OH and need something fabulous to do. :)
The gardens are expansive and GORGEOUS, dotted with gazebos, rose gardens that rival the Royal's, and benches to sit on and take it all in. Apparently I'd been a few times at a kid but I don't recall ever being there. Our visit really revived, or shall I say created, an interest in taking care of my own gardens at home.
Lets see how long that lasts!
Before leaving last week I created a yummy pasta dish that I can't wait to share with you today. It's as light and pretty as the coneflowers spilling over the walkways at the gardens we strolled through yesterday – One-Pan Mediterranean Chicken Pasta.
This fresh pasta recipe is not only gluten-free, but made in just one pan. One pan! One pan (ok I'll stop) is all you need to cook the chicken, pasta, veggies, and luscious sauce it's all enveloped in – which takes 30-minutes or less. What more could you ask for?
Salt and pepper-seasoned chicken is sauteed then simmered with meaty artichoke hearts and gluten-free pasta (or regular!) in chicken broth so the flavor infuses the pasta from the inside out. After the pasta is cooked through, halved cherry tomatoes and capers are swirled in then the liquid is reduced before fresh basil and parmesan cheese is added to finish and thicken the sauce. LUSCIOUS.
The sauce almost tastes wine-based, that is to say it's very elegant-tasting, plus the artichoke hearts, cherry tomatoes, capers, and basil are a mouthwatering, Mediterranean-inspired flavor combination. This dish is simple enough for everyday, but I'd make it when I want to impress. You'll love it too!
Start by sauteing 2 large chicken breasts that have been cut into bite-sized pieces and seasoned with salt and pepper in 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil. This may seem like an excessive amount of oil but it creates part of the sauce, too. Don't cook the chicken all the way through – you just want it a little bit golden brown.
Next add a 15oz can quartered artichoke hearts that have been cut in half, a pinch (or more!) red chili pepper flakes, 2 cups chicken broth, 3/4 cup water, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and as much black pepper as you like.
By the way, it can be challenging to find gluten-free chicken broth at the store (Pacific brand is great but can be pricey.) That said, guess where I found super reasonably priced, great-tasting, gluten-free chicken broth a few weeks ago? COSTCO! As if I needed a reason to love that place more.
Bring the mixture to a boil then add 1/2 lb penne pasta and shake the pan to make sure it's all covered in liquid. Pop a lid on top, reduce the heat to medium, and then simmer for approximately 2 minutes less than package instructions. You don't even want the pasta to reach al dente because we've still got a few more minutes of cooking ahead of us.
By the way, I've tried several gluten-free pasta varieties and, as far as dried pasta goes, I like Barilla the best. I especially love the fact that they give you the exact cooking time for al dente pasta right on the front of the box. I let mine simmer in the pan with the lid on for 8 minutes and it was perfect by the end!
Turn the heat up to high then add 1 cup cherry tomatoes that have been cut in half and 2 Tablespoons drained capers into the pan, and then let the sauce boil and reduce for 2-3 minutes.
Finally, remove the pan from the heat then stir in 1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese and 1/2 cup lightly packed basil that's been chopped.
Let the pasta sit for 3 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken up then serve with a generous crack of fresh black pepper.
One-Pan Mediterranean Chicken Pasta
One-Pan Mediterranean Chicken Pasta is a quick, 30 minute meal that's gluten-free but full of flavor!
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 large chicken breasts, cut into 1″ chunks
- salt and pepper (see instructions for measurements)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 3/4 cup water
- 15oz can quartered artichoke hearts, quarters cut in half
- pinch red chili pepper flakes
- 1/2lb 1/2lb gluten-free or regular penne pasta
- 2 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 Tablespoons drained capers
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup lightly packed fresh basil leaves, chopped
- Heat oil in a large, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper then add to skillet and saute until golden brown, 2-3 minutes. Don't cook chicken all the way through. Add garlic then saute for 30 more seconds.
- Add chicken broth, water, artichoke hearts, red chili pepper flakes, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper to the skillet then bring mixture to a boil and add pasta. Shake pan to make sure all the pasta is covered with liquid then place a lid on top, turn heat down to medium, and then simmer for 2 minutes less than package directions (you want the pasta to be under al dente as it will cook for a few more minutes in the sauce.) My gluten-free Barilla penne took 8 minutes.
- Remove lid then add lemon juice, capers, and tomatoes, and then turn the heat up to high and reduce sauce for 2-3 minutes. Remove pan from heat then stir in parmesan cheese and basil. Let sit for 2-3 minutes to thicken then serve.

My only regret is that I didn't start making this dish earlier in the summer – it's the perfect light-yet-filling meal. Enjoy!

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 5/3/2013 (1625 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
February was a cold month but it warmed up considerably when I observed the seed displays recently put out in the stores.
Though it's been snowing and blowing and very cold, the sight of all those packages of flower and vegetable seeds always warms me up.
Every year I plan to cut back on the variety of seeds I'm going to plant and every year I fail to do so. There's always somehing intriguing that catches my imagination and adds to the crowding of my limited garden space.
I'm not a good gardener. Though I enjoy roto-tilling, preparing the garden and planting the seeds and bedding plants, I'm a bit lax on weeding ,watering, and thinning out the rows of vegetables.
Every year I put in a couple of rows of beets, visualizing bowls of hearty borscht later in summer. Due to something lacking in the soil — and lack of thinning — the beets are so stunted that all I can do with them is pickle them whole. That's a benefit for friends who seem to enjoy them and comment that I must have picked them early, when they were small. I don't let them in on my secret.
My chard, which I believe is also a member of the beet family (Ed. note — he's right), also doesn't do well. My green beans, zucchini, parsnip, and tomatoes do well but last year the rabbits got my beans before they had a chance to mature. This year I'll try to spraying them. I've been told that a mixture of detergent and water sprayed on the early beans should do the trick.
Last fall I cleaned up all the debris in the garden and started roto-tilling but my tiller conked out before I got finished. Then, before I could get it fixed we had a rainy spell followed by snow. So this year's early seed displays are a good reminder to get the tiller fixed in early spring.
Though I enjoy winter it's encouraging to watch the days grow longer, warmer, and sunnier. I look forward to sitting out in the patio with my newspaper and a fresh pot of coffee. I'll make a stack of pumpernickel toast on which I will place thick slabs of beefsteak tomatoes. I doubt whether the wealthiest tycoons in the world get more satisfaction out of their breakfasts than I do.

NEW YORK—Former New York Giants defensive end Michael Strahan, the NFL's single-season sacks leader, was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame here Saturday as part of a seven-member class.
Voters also chose Derrick Brooks, Ray Guy, Claude Humphrey, Walter Jones, Andre Reed and Aeneas Williams to be enshrined in Canton, Ohio, in August.
Strahan had a record 22-1/2 sacks in 2001 and totaled 141-1/2 sacks in 15 seasons with the Giants. He was a charismatic player who has gone on to post-career success in broadcasting, and he is one of the top pass rushers in league history.
Brooks, a linebacker for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, never missed a game in 14 seasons and was the NFL's defensive player of the year in 2002.
"It still hasn't hit me yet, to be honest with you…. I'm just gonna do the best I can to enjoy the moment," Brooks said, speaking at Radio City Music Hall after the selections were announced at the taping of the "3rd Annual NFL Honors" show.
Reed finished his career with one season with the Washington Redskins in 2000 but made his mark over 15 seasons with the Buffalo Bills. The wide receiver had 951 career catches. He had 50 or more catches in 13 different seasons.
"I look at my teammates," Reed said. "I look at my coach [Marv Levy] who's in the Hall of Fame. And we were a family…. The emotions right now are overwhelming."
Guy and Humphrey were the nominees of the seniors committee and both were elected. Guy, who played for the Oakland and Los Angeles Raiders between 1973 and '86, becomes the first full-time punter in the Hall of Fame.
"There is a place for us," Guy said.
Humphrey was a defensive end who played 14 seasons for the Atlanta Falcons and Philadelphia Eagles from the late 1960s to the early '80s.
"I never gave up hope," Humphrey said. "I always figured there was a place for me here. It's been a long time."
Jones was a nine-time Pro Bowl selection in a dozen seasons as an offensive tackle for the Seattle Seahawks and was named to the NFL's all-decade team of the 2000s.
"It's been a long journey for me to be at this point," Jones said.
Williams was an eight-time Pro Bowl choice, at both cornerback and safety, in 14 seasons with the Phoenix and Arizona Cardinals and St. Louis Rams.
"So many people need to be fitted for the jacket with me, that helped me," Williams said.
The media members who serve as Hall of Fame voters, meeting earlier Saturday in New York on the eve of the Super Bowl, eliminated Morten Andersen, Tim Brown, Edward DeBartolo Jr., Tony Dungy and John Lynch when they cut the list of modern era finalists from 15 to 10. Jerome Bettis, Kevin Greene, Charles Haley, Marvin Harrison and Will Shields were eliminated from consideration when the list was trimmed to five modern era finalists.

U.S. Rethinks Possible Competition with China in Space

(Source: historymartinez.files.wordpress.com)
China's recent successful manned mission has started a space race debate
Now that China has successfully completed its
first manned mission
, the United States is worried that it may be left behind when it comes to space-related endeavors.
China initially launched its Tiangong 1 prototype space station module in September 2011 and linked its Shenzhou 8 spacecraft to it in November. Earlier this month, China completed its first manned mission to Tiangong 1 using its Shenzhou 9 spacecraft, which contained the country's first female astronaut.
With so many firsts under China's belt, the U.S. is getting a little worried. Some scientists, such as lunar geologist Paul Spudis say that China could renounce the 1967 Outer Space Treaty, which states that no one can claim national sovereignty in space. Spudis believes that potential resources on the moon, such as water, could tempt the country into renouncing the treaty.
There are also worries about the U.S. government's space program. While the U.S. has the private sector (SpaceX) taking care of space-related business for now, there are concerns regarding the private sector's ability to uphold the American space effort without the government's support. The U.S.' funding for the space program has been quite low, even to the point where NASA
urged Congress to provide the full $850 million
for commercial crew vehicle development last October.
However, the private sector has made strong contributions so far with SpaceX's Dragon cargo capsule making its
first successful trip
to the International Space Station (ISS) last month.
Others aren't quite as worried about China's position in the space race. According to Jeff Foust, an aerospace analyst, journalist and publisher, China's space program could potentially face some issues with coordination because it is ran by many different government agencies instead of just one.
Regardless, China is now a member of the space race and the U.S. may be taking the new potential competitor into consideration.

Ask Health Experts and Get Answers to Your Health Question ASAP
Hello and thank you for your question,
One of the most common reasons for metal taste in the mouth is Acid Reflux. Some people who experience acid reflux complain of heartburn/indigestion but these symptoms are not always present.
Metal taste in the mouth is not a sign of oral cancer so you dont have to worry about that.
I would suggest that you take an over-the-counter acid blocker such as Prilosec (or generic Omeprazole - cheaper). You can take 1 tablet in the morning before breakfast and 1 tablet before dinner. You should notice a difference within a couple of days.
If symptoms persist, you can start with seeing your dentist to check the crowns.
I hope you find this information helpful. Please feel free to follow-up with any other questions you might have.
If I have answered your question, please click the green "Accept" button. Otherwise your deposit stays with JustAnswer and I do not get credit for my work.
Best wishes,

Simple and unobtrusive, this fireback would fit into any decor, from traditional to contemporary.The fireback has been an indispensable part of the fireplace tradition in Europe since the 15th Century. The colonists carried this tradition to America and today you can add that touch of elegance and history to your own fireplace, while enhancing the beauty of the focal point of your room.While many people think of our Firebacks as being purely decorative, they also serve several very practical purposes. Solid cast iron firebacks absorb heat and then radiate the heat directly into the room, making the fireplace much more efficient at heating the house. They also protect firebrick, increasing the life of the firebox and helping to prevent further damage to an aging fireplace. Firebacks are designed to rest on the floor of the hearth, but fireback supports may also be used to hold the fireback upright and raise it off the hearth floor if extra height is desired.Our firebacks are solid cast iron with a matte black finish.All our firebacks are designed for use with gas logs or wood burning fireplaces.

A coalition that has recently rejuvenated itself is looking to make a difference in the lives of mothers across East Central Minnesota.
The East Central Breastfeeding Coalition, serving Isanti, Chisago, Kanabec and Pine counties, was organized in 2009 after receiving a $1,000 grant through Women, Infants, and Children, or the WIC program. The coalition is part of the Minnesota Breastfeeding Coalition.
Jennifer Kroschel, chairperson of the coalition with Allina Health at Cambridge Medical Center, explained the group has reconnected the past four months and is looking to gain more exposure in the community.
The mission of the coalition is to bridge the gap by connecting health care professionals, breast-feeding families and the community.
The coalition has three goals:
• Increase initiation and duration rates.
• Advance breast-feeding knowledge and the skill base of health care professionals.
• Provide accurate resources and educational opportunities.
"We want to be a resource for moms to be supported," explained Barb Anderson, Isanti County WIC director. "We are working on increasing our general awareness and want moms to know we are here to help them in any way we can with child care or breast-feeding topics."
At the Isanti County Government Center in Cambridge, there are two rooms available in the WIC office, located in the lower level of Public Health, for mothers to use for breast-feeding during regular Public Health hours.
Kroschel explained the coalition is looking for more mothers to be involved in their regular coalition meetings, as well as their specific peer groups.
"We are looking to get as many mothers involved with our coalition as possible," Kroschel said.
Anderson said the coalition aims to provide support.
"When breast-feeding mothers hit a roadblock, they may decide to give up," Anderson said. "The coalition can provide support to that mother to help her get through that roadblock."
Gina Kennedy, with the Pregnancy Resource Center in Cambridge, said the coalition also looks to promote the health benefits of breast-feeding.
"All of us in the health care community are concerned with the mothers' health, as well as the health of the baby," Kennedy said. "After a mother hits a roadblock, we can help her with how to proceed."
Another goal of the coalition is to educate the employers in the communities about the laws associated with breast-feeding, such as, "Break Time for Nursing Mothers."
Effective March 23, 2010, this federal law requires employers to provide break time and a place for hourly paid workers to express breast milk at work.
The law states that employers must provide a "reasonable" amount of time and that they must provide a private space other than a bathroom.
Employers are required to do this until the employee's baby turns 1 year old.
For more information on the East Central Breastfeeding Coalition, visit www.eastcentralbreastfeeding.org.
The website also has a calendar listing of area meetings associated with the coalition, as well as area breast-feeding classes.
Breast-feeding benefits
Children who are not exclusively breast-fed for six months have a greater chance of the following health problems:
z 60 percent more likely to suffer from ear infections.
z 40 percent more likely to get Type 1 diabetes.
z 40 percent more likely to get Type 2 diabetes as an adult.
z 25 percent more likely to become overweight or obese.
z 30 percent more likely to suffer from leukemia.
z 25 percent more likely to be hospitalized for respiratory diseases like pneumonia or asthma.
z 200 percent more likely to have diarrhea.

For a creative person, the best place is his office desk. It is true that several other things are there to reveal his creativity. But office desk is the best place to reveal his creativity. An office desk is the work zone of that person. It is truly inspiring to see a beautifully decorated office desk. Also, it indicates the sense of the lifestyle.
Now to get a full furnished desk you need to arrange two main things. One is a chair, and the other is a table. There are two kinds of chair one is best office desk chairs and the other is best home office desk chair.
The necessity of a good office chair:
Best categories of desk chair:
How to choose the best brand:
There is no particular feature to choose which brand or company is the best for the best home office desk chair. If you search online, you can find a plenty of options regarding this chair. Web sites are flooded with the advertisements of many new and old brands. For an old brand it is easy to find whether they manufacture good products or not, and for the new brands, you need to go through the reviews of customers and experts. Good quality material and good innovation as per the requirements of the customers are the two key reasons that you can consider before selecting a brand.
Set some reasons, before selecting best home office desk chair:
The most important part is how to buy best office desk chairs or best home office desk chair. It is true that you can avail several options to buy a chair. Like, you can go to a furniture store and select the best chair, or you can purchase your favorite chair through online. But before all these things, your priority should be to set a budget. Like other persons, your main priority should be to select a chair that meets your needs and must be under your budget. It is true that if you pay more, then you can avail a better quality chair. But it is better to go for the best, suitable and long-lasting chair.

Hey everyone, Can't wait for the vacation I need so desperately!! This will be my first cruise that lasts over 7 days, but my 5th cruise. Also looking for any family travelers out there?
I noticed you are boarding the ship the day we depart. My wife and I have a suite on the back of the Panorama deck. We are also staying on the island for a couple days after. If there is enough time before you board maybe we can give some insight from our experience. Last year we cruised with our children and they had a blast.
Thanks Jim and Kim for replying!! Our cabin is also on the very back of the ship, just one deck down from where yours is. We got the Verandah deck, and I am so excited about this cabin location. I rescheduled the entire trip just so I could be at the very back. My idea of paradise (right now anyway) is sitting on the balcony at sunset and watching the sun go down over the Pacific. Since we will be sailing toward Ensenada, I should be able to see the sunset all the way!! Any insight you have will be appreciated. Thanks!!
Hey, its me again. I was just thinking about the amount of people who are probably staying in Hon on Oct 3 after disembarking, and then the amount of people arriving to embark and then with the ship staying in port for the 3rd and 4th-----------that's a heck of a lot of people checking out the touristy spots in Honolulu!! The one thing I absolutely want to take my kids to is the Pearl Harbor memorial, and I have a feeling the lines are going to be enormous, so we will go early on the 4th. I am sure no one else will have THAT great idea!! And yes, insight sharing is welcome in any form, thanks for suggesting it. Catch ya later, Sharpy
please tells us about your trip, spirit is a great ship, i didn't care for all the vibation in the aft cabin, we are going in april to hawaii from ensenada, we have never been on more than a 8 day cruise, how is the pacific? never been there.

WALGREENS FLU SHOTS BEGIN in some stores
Some Walgreens pharmacies begin offering flu shots this week for $24.99. The pharmacies will also offer FluMist nasal spray ($29.99) as an alternative to the shot. To find a participating Walgreens, go to walgreens.com/flu, call toll-free 1-800-358-9950, or visit your local store. The vaccinations may be covered by insurance plans or Medicare Part B. Check with your insurance provider. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advises that it's not too soon for the immunizations — the earlier, the better, the CDC says.
For girls, a guide to breast health
Hoping to educate girls about breast health, physician Marisa C. Weiss has written a new book, Taking Care of Your "Girls" (Three Rivers Press, 256 pages, $15.95). Written with the assistance of her teen daughter, the breast health guide covers breast development and size, choosing a bra, how to stand up to teasing and what healthy foods to eat during this time of growth. She describes the steps girls can take to reduce the risk of disease, such as keeping a healthy weight, exercising and not smoking. It's especially important that girls receive this information at ages 8 to 18, she says. "They are laying down the foundation for future breast health."
Economy tightens health spending
As the credit crunch threatens to throw the economy into a slump, consumer medical spending is under pressure. The number of U.S. prescriptions filled fell 0.5 percent in the first quarter and a steeper 1.97 percent in the second, compared with the same periods in 2007 — the first negative quarters in at least a decade, according to data from market researcher IMS Health. Despite an increasing aging population, the number of physician visits also has been declining. Between July 2007 and 2008, visits fell 1.2 percent, according to IMS. In an August survey, 22 percent of 686 consumers said that economy-related woes were causing them to go to the doctor less often. Some of the areas being hit include hip and knee replacements, mammograms and visits to the emergency room, according to a survey conducted by D2Hawkeye Inc., a medical data analytics firm.
Boost bone health with exercise
The federal Physical Activity Guidelines Advisory Committee says exercise increases bone mineral density and reduces fracture risk. How much exercise? There are various recommendations, including four hours per week of walking or between 90 minutes and five hours per week of combined endurance and resistance training.

He was born on January 25, 1927, to Oscar and Adelaide Miller. He married the love of his life, Lillian, in 1945. They were married 59 years prior to her passing. Together they had three daughters. He worked different jobs early on, but eventually earned his certification as an electrician and went to work for Sonnier Electric in Lake Charles in 1951. Soon after he began his electrical career, he enlisted in the U.S. Navy and served his country proudly from 1951-1954. Upon his return from service, he continued working for Sonnier Electric until his retirement in 1988. He was also a proud member of I.B.E.W. Local 861 in Lake Charles from 1951 until the time of his death.
He enjoyed building and fixing things, reading and gardening, but most of all spending time with his family.
Above all, he was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother and uncle. He was always there for his family and he will be greatly missed.
He leaves behind his three daughters, Johnnie M. Dennis of Jennings and husband Tommy, Janita M. DeCourt of New Iberia and husband Freddie and Jana M. Ashworth and husband Joel of Carlyss.

Author has written 11 stories for Alpha Centauri, Bible, Baldur's Gate, Dungeons and Dragons, Wheel of Time, and Harry Potter.
Name: Oliver Townsend
Age: 21
Alright. I love fanfiction. I tend to spend most of my time writing my original story ideas, but sometimes its nice just to unwind completely by writing in worlds where other people have done the legwork to make it believable! Other times, I just don't want the story they told to end. Whilst I try to keep my fanfiction at a decent quality, I'd be lying if I said I made it suffer the constant self-doubt and editorial that my other work does. I edit it once, and that's it. Because I'm here to enjoy myself and tell a story, not craft a bestseller. And hopefully people here will enjoy some of what I write.
A bit about myself. I am gay, but also an independent Catholic. That is, I don't attend Mass, and spend a lot of my time looking for answers to those interminable questions that faith attempts to answer. Much of my work may be construed as anti-Catholic, which is perhaps a correct assumption. However, I still associate myself strongly with God and the catechism. I just take my guidance from other religions and my own conscience as well. And yes... I am aware of that quote that says, "The problem with the loss of Christian authority is not that man no longer believes, it is that they begin to believe anything." I just believe that the answers to the wonders and mysteries of the Universe cannot be gained just from one religion or viewpoint, but from others.
I also adore politics, and next year am going to Cardiff University to study Politics and Religious Studies. I alternate between fun and lackadaisical, and then worryingly serious. I am passionate about ending injustice, and many other things. These viewpoints probably come across in much of my writing. I don't delete anything I've completed or written anymore, and that means that some of my bad poetry is still on here. They will remain here, because they capture emotions I still feel, even if they were written with a clumsiness that occasionally makes me wince.
Status of projects:
Hope's Light - will be worked on eventually (promise!), but for now, on hold
Magic and Murder - on hold, indefinitely
The Serpent Ring - cancelled, due to the death of Robert Jordan. I don't feel comfortable writing it anymore. Sorry for those who left very helpful comments
Harry Potter - got a new fic up, about the Founders!
Sollocrie - on hold, indefinitely

Senator Golden Hosts "brooklyn Elected Officials"
Brooklyn- State Senator Martin J. Golden recently hosted an episode of Brooklyn Community Access Television's "Brooklyn Elected Officials". 5th Avenue Board of Trade President Basil Capetanakis and 5th Avenue Business Improvement District Director James Clark were Senator Golden's guests.
The show featured a discussion surrounding the development and the current status of the newly created 5th Avenue Business Improvement District. The idea for the creation of the 5th Avenue Business Improvement District was originally discussed at a meeting hosted by Senator Marty Golden with Small Business Services Commissioner Robert Walsh in early 2004.
Senator Marty Golden is a founding member and former President of the 5th Avenue Board of Trade.

Unless you've been hiding underneath a Wi-Fi-disabled rock, you know we are mere days away from when the Mayans predicted the end of the world. Could this apocalypse occur before we find out what happens on The Walking Dead? Short answer, who knows (but probably not.) In the meantime, we can at least have fun with the idea. Ignorance is bliss, after all.
Everyone's favorite pudding manufacturer, Jell-O, has gotten in on the act by creating an ad that pokes fun at the forthcoming apocalypse. It sends a team of explorers, and Jell-O executives, deep into the jungle in order to appease the Mayan Gods with a crate of delicious chocolate pudding.
It must be noted, also, that Jell-O is not the only company to have a good time at the world's expense. Chevrolet, Carl's Jr. and T.G.I. Friday's have all created similar ads and promotions.

We finally have some good fishing news to report.
Donald Bondiskey used the term "overloaded" to describe both the traffic at Captain Howard's Bait and Tackle in Egg Harbor City and the white perch and small striped bass in Mullica River.
By mid-morning Friday, Bondiskey said, they already had sold 20-30 dozen bloodworm for bait.
It started last weekend when Bolli Mam of Philadelphia won the Captain Howard's prize for first legal bass in the door. Mam is a regular at Captain Howard's and known for putting in his time and having it pay off. His prize-winner weighed 8 pounds, 8 ounces and was caught in the Mullica near Lower Bank with bloodworm.
Several spots along the Mullica are popular for anglers fishing for perch and bass. Clark's Landing Road, JRs Ranch and Hay Road get lots of attention. Howard Sefton of Captain Howard's said - maybe exaggerating to make a point - that there were hundreds of cars parked along Hay Road. When you get down to the bank of the Mullica there, the open area is maybe 100 yards wide.
Some of these areas get crowded pretty quick.
Bondiskey reported Friday that Zach Allen and Eian Donati caught 51 sizable, healthy (and good-eating) white perch on the great weather day Tuesday. Plus, he said, they reported hooking a couple of dozen short striper.
Bruce Gehringer, another Egg Harbor City resident who makes the Mullica one of his favorite areas, had a similar catch while fishing with George Ramp Sr. and his grandson George III and Steve Day. They had 32 "keeper" perch and returned around a dozen along with one short striper.
Brothers Mike and Chris Sicurella of Egg Harbor City went night fishing on the incoming tide and caught white perch.
Reports of white perch - many weighing 1 to 2 pounds - and short striped bass getting active have come from other areas such as Tuckahoe River and other streams connecting to Great Egg Harbor River and Bay.
Dave Showell paid out his first-striper bonus at Absecon Bay Sportsman Center to Richard Kutch of Northfield. Showell said Kutch caught an 11-pounder in the Great Egg Harbor River estuary with a Bomber.
Showell also had reports of excellent white perch catches. He used the term "loaded" when talking about white perch in the Mullica. He also mentioned the Tuckahoe for perch.
Regulations update
Adam Nowalsky, captain of the Karen Ann II out of Atlantic City and state chairman of the Rcreational Fishing Alliance, reported Friday that we are one step closer to establishing summer flounder regulations for this year.
A conference call was held Thursday among delegates on the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission board for summer flounder, black sea bass and scup.
Nowalsky said it looks as if an 18-inch minimum for flounder is a lock.
He said there was a bit of good news in that the board left the option for New Jersey to have a daily possession limit of five keepers.
New Jersey has been placed into a region with New York and Connecticut to establish equal regulations throughout the three states. A special New Jersey Marine Fisheries Council meeting is scheduled for April 3 in Manahawkin to finalize regulations.
Also to be determined is how to apply the 128-day season.
Events and projects
The New Jersey Beach Buggy Association starts its usual impressive schedule of volunteer work by an active membership in March.
One of the most important will be held next Saturday, March 22, with the beach cleanup at the Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge at Holgate beach.
Non-member volunteers who would like to pitch in can meet 8 a.m. at the four-wheel drive entrance ramp at Holgate on the south end of Long Beach Island. The famous NJBBA lunch of hot dogs and baked beans is on the menu.
In addition, the Brigantine beach string line fence project is set for March 30. Interested volunteers should contact Kurt Renart at email@example.com.
A series of three seminars put on by Tom Daffin, captain of the Fishin' Fever, and Adam Crouthamel, captain of the Adam Bomb, starts today at the Cedar Creek Sport Clays, 499 Ramah Rd, Millville.
The next one is scheduled for March 22 at Island Marine Center, Route 9 in Woodbine, and the last one for March 29 at Pier 47 Marina, Route 47 going into Wildwood. The cost is $60, and the programs go from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. They are hands-on seminars on a wide variety of topics. Both are experienced captains based in the Cape May area.
