Presidential press conferences are usually a bore. What happens is that a group of 100 or more reporters gather in the White House press room, stand around chatting with each other until thoroughly exhausted. Thus reduced to a state of total psychic subservience, they are ushered into Franklin Roosevelt's private sanctum. Here the President, comfortably tucked in under a massive desk and surrounded by a background of secretaries and Secret Service men, sits flourishing his cigaret holder. The correspondents gather closely around the front of the desk trying politely to look as though...

Johnny Carino's Chicken Skilletini
Skilletini mix
Roma Tomatoes
Red Pepper
Heavy Cream
Marinara Sauce
Tomato Sauce
Pasta, Penne
In a hot sauce pan add margarine, garlic, skilletini mix, chicken, roma
tomatoes, red pepper and saut?pice. Saut?ntil heated. Add heavy cream,
marinara sauce and tomato sauce to saut?an. Heat pasta in boiling water,
drain well. Toss pasta in saut?an until thoroughly heated and all
ingredients are thoroughly combined. Place in a hot service bowl. Garnish
with chopped parsleys.
Chicken Skilletini: A sizzling skillet of grilled seasoned chicken breast,
peppers, onions, cracked black pepper, tomatoes and spaghetti with pomodori
Tomato Sauce (Salsa di Pomodori):
2 Tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup finely chopped onions
2 cups Italian plum or whole pack tomatoes, coarsely chopped but not drained
3 Tablespoons tomato paste
1 Tablespoon finely cut fresh basil or 1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper
In 2- to 3- quart enameled or stainless steel saucepan, heat olive oil 'till
light haze forms over it. Add onions; cook over mod. heat 7-8 minutes, or
until soft, but not brown. Add the tomatoes, paste, basil, sugar, salt and a
little pepper. Reduce heat to low; simmer partly covered, about 40 minutes.
Stir every once in a while. Press sauce through fine sieve or food mill into
bowl or pan. Taste for seasoning. Serve hot.
Makes 1 1/2 cups.
Notes: This is really good; but it's just a base. For spaghetti, I add
whatever veggies I have available (mushrooms, more onion, tomato chunks,
zucchini, carrots, garlic, even tofu chunks if I'm not in the mood for meat)
and maybe some kind of meat or another, depending on what I've got. We
particularly like sausage in it. This is also the sauce I use when I make
manicotti and canneloni. I usually double or triple the recipe when I make
it because it doesn't make much. It freezes well.

Re: Johnny Carino's Chicken Skilletini
What is skilletini mix?
April 28th, 2010, 05:04 PM #3
Re: Johnny Carino's Chicken Skilletini
Josieworth Hi~
Skilletini is skillet pasta or "Skilletini" as they call it in Johnny Carinos.
Skilletini mix~ is chopped onions - bell peppers into strips (like you would for fajitas ñ garlic in olive oil
Usually carmelizing the onions first.
Than adding bell ñ garlic or other veggies with chicken or shrimp
The meal is sizzling ñ hissing on or in a skillet –almost like fajitas. Pasta is pan fried

Re: Johnny Carino's Chicken Skilletini
May I add this -
Boil noodles.
While noodles are boiling, coat skillet with oil on medium heat. Insert onion, bell pepper and chicken. Cook until chicken is no longer pink and onions are caramelized (brown). Drain noodles and add to pan. Pan fry noodles for 1-2 minutes. Pour sauce into the pan. Ready when sauce warms.
I hope this helps -

"Game On"
Picking up right where she left off, Jackie takes the contents of the medicine cabinet, throws it in a laundry bag and dumps it at Kevin's feet. She attacks him right back about spending, the girls' school and her bad back-she's no drug addict. Akalitus announces that nearby hospitals have closed down and that the staff should remain on their toes. A hungover Sam is now totally beholden to Jackie and Thor for their help. Post intervention, things are tense with O'Hara and Jackie, and O'Hara goes to Akalitus, hoping to avoid working with Jackie.
Coop avoids Sam and treats a little boy who stuck a small mirror up his nose, trying to see his brain. Zoey confesses to everyone that she and Lenny had sex. Kevin enrolls Fiona in Immaculate Virgin and shows up unannounced at the ER, causing a stir and freaking out Eddie and Jackie. After her shift, Jackie shows up at the softball field to cheer Kevin and his bar team on. Things are strained, but she's not showing it.

PHOENIX — Facing a splintered gay-rights community, supporters of legalizing same-sex weddings in Arizona have pulled the plug on putting the issue to voters next year.
"We got a substantial amount of pushback for a variety of reasons from the various LGBT groups,'' said Warren Meyer, chairman of the campaign.
Most significant, he said, is the belief 2014 is too soon to push the issue in Arizona. Meyer, a Phoenix businessman, said many believe the issue would fare better in a presidential election year.
He said that national gay-rights organizations that might be expected to provide substantial support would prefer to focus their efforts next year in other states where there is more pronounced support for allowing same-sex nuptials.
"They don't want a failure in 2014 to hurt momentum,'' he said.
But Erin Simpson, a retired Tucson attorney who also was part of the initiative drive, said the kickback from other groups had little to do with the question of timing.
"It was more an issue, I believe, of a need to control the message," she said.
Simpson said she and many of those involved in this measure came at it from the right side of the political spectrum, including Republicans and Libertarians.
From that perspective, she said, the best way of getting a state like Arizona to allow gay weddings is to push the issue not as one of gay rights but as one of personal privacy while protecting the rights of religious groups that may have different ideas.
But Rebecca Wininger, president of Equality Arizona, said the plan by Meyer and Simpson was shaping up to be a sure-fired loser — a loss that would set back the movement.
"It was clear they didn't have a fully functional strategy,'' she said. That included raising the funds needed not only to gather the close to 300,000 signatures that would be needed, but then to sell the plan to voters.
Wininger said the two-year delay is not by choice.
"As a gay woman I want the right (to marry) and I want it now,'' she said. But she said polling showed "we're not where we need to be for 2014.''
The decision cheered Cathi Herrod, president of the Center for Arizona Policy, one of the groups that pushed through Arizona's 2008 constitutional amendment defining marriage as between one man and one woman.
"Redefining marriage is a nonstarter today in Arizona, regardless of the out-of-state money and numerous political operatives that poured into our state for this failed effort,'' she said in a prepared statement. Herrod said she believes the bid to overturn the 2008 amendment will fare no better in 2016.

Indeed I feel Nujabes in this work, always a plus. Easy going and it lights up a situation, yet it saddens it....feels like "Right Here Right now" By Fat boy...Good job my friend.
Rated 4 / 5 stars
amazing soothing beat
nice song, using this in one of my comedy videos thx guys :)
Rated 4 / 5 stars
Not bad, not bad at all.
Really feeling this, easy to vibe with, easy to freestyle on, and easy to put together a well constructed track about just about anything. BirdMav was right about the Nujabes feel, which is always a pleasure to experience. This is well put together man, keep it up; might be cool to work with you on something in the future.
Rated 4 / 5 stars
well friend I must say i like this a lot, nice music, good images, but if i may be so bold I think you could improve, my only real concern is some of the images look a bit shaky to me but this might be intentional, in any event great job.
Love and peace
I keep trying to improve so thank you

Fake record noise was overbearing, piano line didn't fit, breakdowns towards the end weren't very good.
You mean real record noise?
Hmm I think the piano fit perfectly and I'm not sure what break downs you mean but anyways this is a hip hop beat for mc's to spit on, it's not for instrumentation purposes but yeah art is subjective so i'm not going to disagree with you but rather ask you to give me a good hip-hop beat produced today

Spiritualized @ Turner Hall Ballroom
Tuesday, Sept. 9, 2008
Yet it was this very appearance that made many of the songs hit even harder. Set opener "Amazing Grace," with the help of two excellent backup singers, set the stage for the entire evening. As Pierce earnestly proclaimed his love for a sweet sound "that saved a wretch like me," he was greeted by a maelstrom of noise emanating from his crack band. It was as if Pierce was trying to conjure up the strength of a true believer, hoping that the din might serve as a sort of call to action.
This attempt to overcome inertia characterizes the protagonists of many of Pierce's songs. Such individuals never seem intent on apologizing for any kind of mortal sin; instead, they seem to wish to merely overcome the torpor that rules their lives (call it soul music for those stuck in purgatory). For Pierce, as on "Lay Back in the Sun"-with its celebration of "good dope, good fun"-drugs have often been the best way to break out of this state of inaction. Yet Pierce immediately followed this selection with "Death Take Your Fiddle," a song that finds little solace in "morphine, codeine, whisky." Close to 15 years after founding the band, Pierce is still struggling to come to terms with which direction he should head.
Ultimately, it may be the music itself that saves Pierce. He came alive on "Come Together," which the band turned into an extended jam that seemed to exalt the communal, healing power of rock 'n' roll. For the only time all night, Pierce smiled, and he actually seemed to be enjoying himself. It wasn't necessarily a born-again experience for the reticent artist, but it may have been a tentative first step toward a personal salvation of sorts.

Proteins, suspended in water and aligned in a clear crystalline array, are the elements for a structure in the eye called the lens. The lens gathers light rays admitted by the cornea and focuses them onto the retina creating the images of the world that you see in your mind. Due to many conditions the precise alignment of proteins in the lens may break down and the proteins clump together forming clouds. These protein clouds are called cataracts. Cataracts block some light from reaching the retina thus interfering with your vision.
Cataracts may result from many conditions including congenital defect, chronic eye disease, system-wide diseases (diabetes), or eye trauma, but by far the most common cause of cataracts is simply age. Cataracts are the leading cause of vision loss among older American. More than half of all Americans 65 years of age and older have some degree of cataract development. By the time you are between 75 to 84 years of age there is better than a 90% chance that you have a cataract. Although cataracts cannot be prevented they can be effectively treated surgically. Cataract surgery is the most common surgical procedure performed on Americans aged 65 years and older. 95% of cataract surgeries result in an improvement in vision in otherwise healthy eyes.
In the initial stages of cataract development you may not notice any vision change because the cataract is small. Cataracts tend to grow slowly so vision deteriorates slowly. Some people with a cataract find that their close-up vision suddenly improves, but this temporary effect dissipates as the cataract grows. Common symptoms of a cataract are:

There is still a lot a winter left and that means a lot of time left to spend indoors. It is a good opportunity to consider how we spend our indoor time. One area to consider is the time we spend reading, either alone or to others.
My love of books began when I was young. It was greatly promoted by an overly controlling father who used "restriction" as his form of discipline. Because I was an adolescent prone to "talking back," I spent many hours alone in my room. During this time I read and absorbed ideas, information and experience.
As parents we introduce our children to the world of written language. We teach our children what words mean and how to express feelings with words. Children are expected to master 300 new words a year while they are in school. Reading greatly enhances their vocabulary beyond this number.
Attention to the written word can begin early. One of my patients read nursery rhymes to her unborn child and reported that the baby settled down as she read. This also gave the mother an excuse to rest. You can also develop an appreciation for the rhythms of language in infants. If they are crying and you whisper poetry to them, they will often fall silent, entranced.
Many book lovers began as rapt listeners to bedtime stories. Usually young children love being read to. It provides a time for intimacy and closeness, for being comforted and for feeling special.
Holding a child on your lap or snuggling them close to you provides both of you with a reassurance. Physical contact along with being read to gives positive experience and memories about books and reading. As little ones grow older they can share in reading aloud. Reading together in this way helps children develop their vocabulary, reading skills and confidence.
Another advantage to reading is that books offer a vastly different form of stimulation than the other visual media: videos and television. However, up to about 10 hours a week of TV shows a small positive correlation between the time children spend watching TV and their school achievement, according to the Report of the Commission on Reading. The commission also found that TV programs especially designed to have educational value for children can promote reading. Reading engages our imagination and the mind takes on the task of filling in the visual images that the words suggest.
It is never too early to introduce a child to the thrill of a good story. Writers like Beatrix Potter, the creator of "The Tales of Peter Rabbit," easily capture the imagination of children and adults. When I was in England, one of my favorite excursions was to Potter's home, Hilltop Farm. There were more adults than children visiting the farm and all of them talked about their love of her stories. Many of these enthusiasts were pushing 70!
When you read to children you can use the experience as an opportunity to talk about the characters, the situation or how the story might relate to the child's life or circumstances. Ask questions about what the child thinks and encourage him or her to make up different endings or scenarios. This gives the characters or the story a life of its own. If you haven't seen children's books recently you have a wonderful treat in store. They are filled with beautiful illustrations and stories about a vast array of topics.
Almost any difficult situation that children might experience is covered in a story. This includes topics such as moving, starting school, difficulty making friends, a pet dying and parents getting a divorce.
In 1970 Iris Origo wrote in her book "Images and Shadows": "It is the extreme concreteness of a child's imagination which enables him, not only to take from each book exactly what he requires - people, or genii, or tables and chairs - but literally to furnish his world with them." Whatever our age, books enrich our lives.

Orsett 249
West Essex 160
ORSETT scooped victory by 89 runs in their clash with West Essex at the weekend.
The School Lane encounter saw the home team win the toss and decide to bat.
There was a mixed bag of results from the Orsett top order as Ryan Plom was just getting into his stride when he was snagged lbw for just 14 off the tricky bowling of Arshad Mughal.
His opening partner Paul Bennett fared a lot better, striking 32 classy runs before he was caught by Mubashir Javed off another good ball by Mughal.
Next in was Mohammed Ahktar (20) but the Orsett batsman dug in and ground out the body of the runs with Lewis Lockyer (40) and Jason Plom's top scoring with 66 to put Orsett back on track – and to give their bowlers something to defend.
A handy 22 from Kirk Laws and 29 late runs from the partnership of Mark Pavitt and Shahid Khan contributed to Orsett's impressive 249 total.
In reply West Essex struggled from the off with Waleed Khan falling to a Kirk Laws catch off the bowling of George Pavitt for just two runs.
The rest of the top order went cheaply as Pavitt, Shahid Khan and Paul Bennett made hay aided by some impressive catching as the visitors struggled to get runs on the board and capitulated for 160.

The 'Tik Tik Boom' singer announced on her social media accounts that she would launch her own lingerie line this fall.
Britney Spears announced on her social media accounts on July 23 that she would release her own lingerie line named The Intimate Collection. She posted on Twitter a picture of her along with the caption, "Coming very soon... The Intimate Collection, by yours truly. http://www.intimatebritneyspears.com Just a peek at what's to come. xo."
In the not-so-subtle picture, the "Perfume" singer oozes her sexiness by wearing a black bra and black high-waist panties while sitting on a white bed. Her blonde hair falls loose around her shoulder. Britney completes her looks with a gold necklace.
Britney posted the same picture on the same day on Instagram. She captioned the picture with the same message like the one on Twitter, but without a link to her lingerie collection website.
Britney said in a statement regarding the launch of her own lingerie line, "Every woman should feel confident and beautiful in everything she puts on. My vision for The Intimate Britney Spears is to create pieces that are sexy, luxurious, and comfortable at the same time."
According to the website, The Intimate Collection will launch on September 9 in the U.S. and Canada and September 26 in Europe. Fans, who want an "exclusive access to the collection, a behind the scenes experience and updates" on their e-commerce launch, can sign up with their emails to the website.
Britney's upcoming lingerie line will be sold with a reasonable price range from $17 to $79.

Help is on the way for 500,000 Ontario residents without a family physician, people generally forced to seek medical care in clogged emergency rooms or walk-in clinics.
Starting next month, a new government hotline will help match people with a doctor in their area willing to take on new patients, the Star has learned. Ontario will institute a special 1-800 number, where a Telehealth Ontario staffer will take down a health history and pass it on to a nurse who will help find a family doctor.
"This is a made-in-Ontario solution," Health Minister David Caplan told the Star of the program to be launched as part of a drive to help the nearly one in 13 Ontario residents who do not have a regular family doctor. "We will be the first jurisdiction I am aware of that is doing this."
Still, critics point out that the program, called Health Care Connect, will not deal with the core problem: a shortage of doctors.
Dr. Douglas Mark, who runs a practice on Finch Ave. E. near Midland Ave. , wants to know where the health ministry expects to find physicians to care for 500,000 people.
"Where are the doctors?" asked Mark, who sees anywhere from 12 to 40 patients a day at his practice. "They are going to have an awful time trying to find these doctors."
Caplan concedes problems won't disappear overnight.
"This won't be a perfect matching system where it will be immediate," he said. Health ministry officials won't say how fast they can match patients with doctors.
"It may take a little time, but at least it will give us the ability to meet those needs," said Caplan.
The move is part of a provincial government and Ontario Medical Association commitment to find family doctors for 500,000 people. It's estimated 400,000 to 1 million of Ontario's 13 million residents do not have a family doctor.
The new 1-800 number, to be released next month, will be an addition to Telehealth Ontario, the confidential and free government hotline that offers 24-hour health advice from registered nurses.
The health ministry and the OMA, the body representing nearly 33,000 physicians, made the commitment to find Ontarians family doctors when they signed their last contract in 2008.
Doctors will get a bonus to take on new patients. For instance, if a doctor takes on a complex patient, such as someone with a chronic illness and a multitude of health problems, they will get a $350 one-time payment. If they take on an uncomplicated patient under age 65, they will be paid $100.
Since 2004, Ontario's doctors have taken on an additional 630,000 patients who previously did not have a family physician, said Dr. Ken Arnold, OMA president.
"Despite this tremendous effort by doctors, we know that more work still needs to be done," he said.
The new program should also give officials an idea as to which area has the greatest need, Caplan said.
Once the government knows where doctor shortages are most acute, they can use the information to set up more nurse practitioner-led clinics or family health teams – groups of nurses, doctors and other health professionals working together to care for patients.
Nurse practitioners are specially trained nurses who can also perform more medical duties such as ordering diagnostic tests or writing prescriptions. Only one nurse practitioner-led clinic is currently operating in Sudbury. Three others are on the way throughout Ontario.
Natalie Mehra, director of the health-care advocacy group, the Ontario Health Coalition, said the doctor shortage is a "big problem" all over the province, particularly in Kingston, Windsor, Sarnia, Brockville and northern Ontario.
"The provincial government has been doing some good things," she said. "They are using more of a range of providers such as nurse practitioner clinics."
But municipalities still compete with each other by offering "excessive bonuses of tens of thousands of dollars," to attract doctors, she said.
"This is really not the job of municipalities, to be paying family doctor bonuses," she said. "It is just a bad idea. It drives up the costs for everybody."
Despite the government's new initiative, the bottom line remains – there simply aren't enough family doctors in Ontario, said Mehra.
It took Toronto resident Michael Creek four years before he finally found a family doctor at a downtown clinic. Creek lives in subsidized housing in Regent Park.
"I was scared more than anything," said Creek, a Toronto co-ordinator for Voices From the Street – a group that empowers those who have experienced homelessness and poverty. "My health was compromised, I had cancer, non-Hodgkin lymphoma in 1994. When you don't see a doctor you might not see little symptoms a doctor is trained to see."
During the four years Creek, 52, had no physician, he would visit an emergency ward for medical help.
Creek said he still finds it difficult to quickly get a doctor's appointment. He does not think the new program will work because of the physician shortage.
"Where do they think these nurses will find family physicians to take the patients on?" he asked.
"Even the ministry admits there is a tremendous shortage in the province. Maybe they'll send us to Buffalo."
Dr. Mark notes the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario also has an online system where you can find local family doctors.
"Why are they creating a whole new bureaucracy when they have this service at the college?"
Health ministry officials, however, say this new system is more comprehensive and personal.

Internet sales powerhouse, Ryan Parker, has finally created a work from home package that will be capable of teaching us exactly how he' made his money.
Ryan's a personal hero of mine, as he started out without much in life and turned rags into riches using the power of the internet.
His Online Income Solutions program has been well received by many in the internet marketing camp and is featured at the top of many make money review sites (bar a few biased reviews from people who own competing products, no names mentioned). The beauty of the product that it is truly multi-level:

Other Infomation – How To Choose A Make Money Program
Here is a list of pointers to help you in choosing a make money program which best suits your needs for creating an online income.
1) Choose a program that is simple, has a rock-solid method, the products have been sold before and can benefit a wide range of people.
2) It must have a Turnkey (automated) system. This is really important. If it does not have a turnkey marketing system that anyone can operate – keep looking. Personal make money coaching and support is also important. This extra support could ensure you succeed where others fail.
3) Choose a make money program that delivers a system that allows you to get paid at least once a month, straight into you account.
4) Make sure it can offer you a passive income and you can show someone in your family how to operate it. This way you can pass this wealth to your family as inheritance.
5) The make money program you choose should provide simple step-by-step instructions that can be easily duplicated so anyone can do it: from students, seniors, teachers, couples, celebrities and even millionaires.
Make sure you follow these points thoroughly and if you need any more advice just look at my other articles and reviews for personal recommendations.

The "fog of war" is used to describe decision-making under duress. Investors grapple with a similar challenge when trying to sort fact from fiction in today's real-time news cycle.
In Australia, the labour and housing markets have held a magnetic appeal for spurious "storytellers". And it is not only hyperbolic doomsayers like Steve Keen that you have to worry about. There is a negative bias across general news coverage. Don't take my word for it. This is also the judgment of Reserve Bank governor
In a speech in June, Stevens complained that the "nature of public discussion is unrelentingly gloomy and this has intensified over the past six months . . . [We are] grimly determined to see our glass as half empty".
This was not just Stevens' impression.
"Numerous foreign visitors have remarked on the surprising extent of this pessimism. Each time I travel abroad I am struck by the difference between the perceptions held by foreigners about Australia and what I read in the newspapers at home," he said.
The RBA's decision to question the quality of reporting in this country was not taken lightly. The central bank relies heavily on the media to convey its nuanced messages to the wider community.
So-called "open mouth operations" are an essential part of its monetary policy transmission mechanism. The RBA highlighted this problem because it was concerned that pervasively negative news was adversely affecting consumer and business sentiment and, ultimately, feeding back into real economic behaviour.
As human capital and the owner-occupied home are the two largest components of household wealth, jobs and housing are equally high-value targets for peddlers of doom.
While Australia's very low unemployment rate has barely budged in two years, we nevertheless seem to read about new retrenchments every day. In an exchange last week Debelle argued that good news on the jobs front simply did not sell well. He suggested this might be why the "structural change" taking place in Australia's economy was being treated asymmetrically by journalists.
There is another psychological explanation for our bad news fixation. In 2002 Daniel Kahneman won the Nobel Prize in economics for, among other things, showing we react more to losses than gains.
In a similar vein Debelle, a PhD graduate from MIT, identifies a link between adverse employment conditions at
"So the structural adjustment's going on but the bad part of it is heavily publicised . . . Journalists know because they've got the guy sitting next to them [who] has been given a redundancy . . . Obviously that's happening in both major media organisations in the country . . . so that amplifies it."
If you want to get really depressed, google "Australian house prices" and take the first page of headlines at face value. Much of the responsibility for resisting the vocal spruikers of housing hysteria has again been left to Australia's central bank. In a speech in July, Stevens examined one common valuation benchmark – the house price-to-income ratio – across a range of countries over the past three decades. He found "Australian dwelling prices, relative to income, are in the pack of comparable countries".
Stevens also pointed out that housing affordability was actually the best it had been in years. Mortgage repayments on the median-priced home for a household with average income are at their lowest level in a decade. In this context, Stevens wryly observed: "Four or five years ago we supposedly had a housing affordability crisis. Now it seems the problem some people fear is housing becoming even more affordable."
Although nearly a third of all savers have zero residential property exposure, our superannuation funds don't normally invest in Australia's $3.6 trillion housing market.
On the other hand, super funds have no qualms loading up on the smaller, yet riskier, commercial property sector. Indeed, about one-tenth of all superannuation money is locked up in this asset class.
And while talk of "bubbles" in Australia is almost exclusively confined to housing, the mother of all bubbles was actually blown in its commercial cousin.
One way to measure a bubble is by the magnitude of the peak-to-trough price change. Property trusts listed on the ASX, which are dominated by commercial, industrial and retail assets, experienced explosive capital growth in the period before 2008. But when the crunch finally came, LPT values plummeted by a stunning 70 per cent. This is more than an order of magnitude greater than the 4 per cent losses suffered, on average, across the housing market.
For years the RBA has sought to draw attention to commercial property's hazards. Unfortunately, spooking a few superannuation funds is not nearly as sexy as scaring 8.6 million households.
Reserve Bank research has shown that commercial property borrowers are much more likely to default on their loans, and hence trigger distressed sales, than homeowners. This is why APRA requires lenders to hold far larger provisions against commercial property credit, despite protestations from business bankers that this is unfair.
As in the 1991 recession, almost all the losses incurred by Australia's banks since 2007 have been in lending to businesses. Commercial property loans, in turn, account for the lion's share of problem assets.
In contrast, losses on lending against established housing have been trivial. The RBA estimates just 0.7 per cent of our circa 5 million residential borrowers are genuinely behind on their repayments. That is a fraction of equivalent arrears in the US and Europe, notwithstanding our steeper mortgage rates.
Reflecting on the housing debate, Stevens concludes: "It has to be said that the housing market bubble, if that's what it is, seems to be taking quite a long time to pop – if that's what it is going to do. The ingredients we would look for in signalling an imminent crash seem, if anything, less in evidence now than five years ago."

Home > Community > Health Library > Bilirubin
Bilirubin is a substance produced by the breakdown of old red blood
cells and hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen from
the lungs to the rest of the body. Bilirubin is removed from the body through
the digestive system as part of the bile from the liver.
Normally, the body is constantly making new red blood cells and
breaking down old ones. The amount of bilirubin in a person's blood is usually
very low. Higher-than-normal amounts of bilirubin in the blood cause a person's
skin and eyes to become yellow (jaundice). A blockage in the bile duct or
certain medical conditions, such as liver disease, may cause bilirubin levels
to rise to an unhealthy level.
Newborns often have high amounts of bilirubin in their blood. In
most cases, the baby's system will become better able to eliminate the
bilirubin within days. But a baby may need medical attention if the
yellowing appears to increase after the third day of life or has not decreased
by the fifth day.

APEC leaders have effectively pronounced the Doha free trade effort dead as they urge a renewed push to reinvigorate multilateral free trade and eschew protectionism.
In a series of communiques issued at the conclusion of the APEC summit in Bali, the nations, including Australia, said Doha had reached an impasse but it was incumbent on the APEC nations, as the emerging global powerhouse, to stimulate flagging global growth.
"As our region increasingly becomes the main engine of global growth, we are called by the duty to look ahead, to adapt to our changing needs, and to . . . reinvigorate the path toward progress in the Asia-Pacific," they said. "We will continue our collective commitment to strengthening and deepening regional economic integration and to eliminate barriers to international trade and investment in the region. We are committed to fight against protectionist measures for their impact on weakening trade and slowing down the global economic recovery."
In reference to a forthcoming World Trade Organisation conference in Bali, the leaders said "with Doha at an impasse, we are now at the eleventh hour to put the negotiating function of the WTO back on track".

Sign-up link for Pinecone ResearchKacie
If you've been interested in joining Pinecone Research to fill out surveys (and earn a tiny amount of cash for your time) you can sign up here. I won't get anything if you use the link, but I thought I'd pass that on to you.
Also, for those of you who read my site from the main page and not from a feed reader, what do you think about the YouData widget I have in my left sidebar? Are you earning any money from it? So far, I'm not getting much at all and I'm thinking of taking the widget down. If you want it to stay or go, please let me know.

Hmmm… did you already remove the youdata widget? I signed up for it but promptly forgot to put it on my blog!! Also, thanks for the link to the Pinecone Research. I've heard they only allow people to join every so often. Or am I thinking of another place?
By Jessica on Dec 11, 2008 | Reply
I signed up for youdata a couple weeks ago. I made $7+ that first week. I made about 60cents the next two weeks, and about $1 this week. What's nice is that there is no minimum payout, and it goes to paypal, an account that I keep but rarely use. When I decide to order something online, even a silly little 60cents in my paypal account is nice to subtract from my purchase. I consider my paypal account to be my "play money," because it's always such a low balance. And to answer Mrs. Accountability: Yes, Pinecone research only invites new panel members every so often.

Yeah, I took it down. You can still view ads by visiting youdata.com and logging in.
The widget on my blog was pretty large, and it wasn't really earning me any money so that's why I took it down. I might put it back up at some point.

Hi there!

I am looking for some interesting fun opportunities to make some extra cash working from home.
Any ideas?
Love to hear from you.

1 more year? Pacers keep door open
Walsh will pay Reggie next season even if he doesn't play
By Mark Montieth
Reggie Miller has said his retirement is "100 percent" final, but the Pacers CEO said he's "not con
Pacers CEO Donnie Walsh holds out hope Reggie Miller will play again -- and he'll pay Miller $6.1 million for the final season of his contract even if he doesn't.
"I'm not convinced he's not going to play again," Walsh said Friday. "I'm going to check back with him. I'm waiting for him to miss it. I'll give him two weeks or a month and see how he feels."
Miller will receive the salary called for in the three-year contract he signed two summers ago. The $6.1 million will count in the calculation of the Pacers' payroll but shouldn't affect their ability to sign a free agent because they will be over the salary cap anyway.
Walsh said Miller won't be included on the team's 15-man roster unless he returns to play.
Miller, who scored 27 points Thursday as the Pacers were eliminated from the playoffs by Detroit at Conseco Fieldhouse, said after the game that his retirement is "absolutely, positively, 100 percent" final.
He attended a brief team meeting Friday morning and then met with privately with Walsh. Walsh said Miller gave no indication that he might rethink his retirement.
Walsh said the team would have "a big-time celebration" to retire Miller's No. 31 jersey next season if he does not return. The Pacers had a retirement ceremony for Miller on April 20 after their final regular-season basketball game against Chicago. Owners Herb and Mel Simon presented a Bentley automobile to Miller.
Miller said after Thursday's final playoff game against Detroit that he plans to rest for about a month and then begin working out again -- but not in preparation for another season.
"You can't just stop," he said. "I'm still going to run the canyons and the beaches (near his home in Malibu, Calif.,), but I'll do it for myself. I won't have training camp to lure me."
Miller, who turns 40 in August, said earlier he wouldn't be drawn back by the hope of winning a championship, even if the Pacers made roster moves that could improve that possibility.
"I had 18 years to try," he said. "I didn't do it. It's their turn. If they can do it, God bless them."
Miller already has begun work on a new career, forming a film company, Boom Baby Productions. He has a project in the works called "Beautiful Ohio," starring Laura Dern. Oscar-winning actor Hillary Swank and her husband, Chad Lowe, are co-producing the film, and Lowe will direct.
Miller said he hoped to become involved in various aspects of film production, including casting and editing, but has no desire to act.
He also hopes to work as a broadcaster. He said he was not aware of rumors that he will serve as Dan Patrick's co-host on ESPN's national radio show. His ideal position in television, he said, would be as a studio host, similar to TNT's Charles Barkley.
"He doesn't talk about stats, he just rips on the players, which I'd love to do, too," Miller said with a smile. "I could talk trash about all of them, and the commissioner (David Stern), too, all at once."
Otherwise, Miller is looking forward to a more private life. He said he would keep his home in Geist and his corner suite in Conseco Fieldhouse but doesn't plan to be a frequent presence.
"I'm sure he'll show up unexpectedly from time to time," Pacers coach Rick Carlisle said. "But then again, knowing him, he's going to keep his distance and be respectful of the fact it's a new situation without him and the fact he's really not a member of the team."
Unless, of course . . .

14,700 Asda colleagues share £49million windfall from record Sharesave scheme
Today, 14,700 Asda colleagues are set to pocket a record £49million as a three year Walmart Sharesave scheme matures.
This year's payout is the biggest yet for colleagues, with those saving £50 a month receiving more than £3,300, over £1,400 more than their original investment of £1,920.
Sarah Dickins, People Operations and Policy Director at Asda comments: "This is the third consecutive year that our colleagues have enjoyed a record Sharesave payout. Our colleagues drive the long-term success of our business; with a 70 per cent increase on the money they invested for this year's payout I am delighted that so many of our colleagues are reaping the rewards of their hard work."
The most popular choices for colleagues to spend their windfalls are on foreign holidays, weddings and home improvements.
Katherine Wynne, who has worked at the London Swanley store for eight years on the checkout, is putting her Sharesave payout towards her daughter's dream wedding. Marie, 25, has worked at Asda for nearly eight years in the administration team is now planning a dream wedding aboard next year.
Bren Simmons, who has worked at the same London Swanley store for 25 years, is using her Sharesave payout to reinvent her garden with an Alice in Wonderland theme, installing a giant teacup and saucer and an oversized yellow watering can.
Bren said "My husband thinks I'm mad, but I have been really looking forward to enjoying the fruits of my savings and this means making a fun part of the garden just for me."
The Sharesave plan, created in 1982, was designed to give Asda colleagues a stake in the company and the chance to share in the success of the business. The Sharesave plan allows colleagues to save between £5 and £250 every month. At the end of the saving period, colleagues get a tax-free bonus and can choose to use the savings and bonus to buy Walmart shares at a 20 per cent discount.

It's become a (very) familiar refrain: email is broken/dying/limping/ebola-ridden. It can be, at any rate, annoying. New data from the BuzzFeed network over the last seven months reveals a drastic drop in email sharing, which might be indicative of a real change in how we use email.
Looking at email referrals (incoming traffic detected from mail clients like Google, Hotmail, Yahoo, etc.) across the BuzzFeed network over the last seven months shows a consistent drop in email referrals to partner sites from 13 million a month in January to just over 5 million in August, a full 39 percent — and that's with a tiny spike from July to August.
(The BuzzFeed Network, if you weren't aware, is a set of sites like TMZ and The Daily Mail that altogether have over 300 million users a month, and every month BuzzFeed publishes a Social Intelligence Report that draws on data gathered from this network, and is available only to members of the network.)
Even if the numbers aren't totally precise — Dave Pell, who runs the excellent Next Draft newsletter, told me that some email clients don't provide referral information — the overall trend is quite clear within the BuzzFeed network. People are using email less and less to share stuff, for some reason. (This is distinct from the whole newsletter trend of the last couple years; Pell tells me his newsletter, for instance, is growing like crazy. Even Twitter's launched a newsletter of sorts. )
And while it's true that sites in the BuzzFeed network tend to produce more viral things — social things you might say, geared toward sharing on Facebook and Twitter, it's significant that, for these sites, email has steeply fallen off as a vector for sharing.
The question, really, is why? Is it because people that used to share links via email are increasingly using Facebook or Twitter or Pinterest or some other social media? Well, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and social referrals have been rising rapidly over the same period — Facebook referrals went from just under 50 million to just over 70 million; Twitter went from just under 14 million to nearly 25 million; Pinterest from around 100,000 to 200,000 (to be fair, it peaked at 380,000 in April, fell, and is rising again). Correlation isn't causation, but maybe.
One thing to note. On some sites, like the Atlantic, which is part of the BuzzFeed stats network, the email button is disappearing from the more prominent "share" buttons that commonly hover above stories, asking for a click to transport the link you're reading to your friends. As you can see, it's hidden up near that other very vestigial thing, printing. The same is true of Slate and TMZ, which either give their email buttons less real estate or hide them very well. Which sounds trivial — can't you just copy and paste the link duhhh? — but consider the kinds of users most likely to email stories. You know, your dad. Put another way, 31 percent of the New York Times' top sixty shared stories were shared via email; for the Times audience (which, you might imagine, is older than BuzzFeed's), email's a highly important vector for spreading Times stories. By comparison, of BuzzFeed.com's most shared stories, only 13 percent of them were shared via people pressing the email button. The Times and BuzzFeed give the same weight and prominence to their email buttons that they do to other social sharing buttons, so the email dropoff clearly goes beyond the button.
One last possibility floated by BuzzFeed's data scientists: 63 percent of the Times' most shared stories were from the Opinion section, which tends to be political — people may want to share those kinds of highly opinionated stories over a private medium, whereas it's totally kosher to post a "Hey, Remember That Cool Weird Thing From 90s" all over your Facebook wall.

Mumbai, Feb 14: Anjali Sharma (name changed), a model and a small-time actress, has filed a rape complaint at Versova police station against Hardip Singh Bajwa, a crew member working for a private chopper, police said.
In her complaint, the woman alleged that Hardip proposed to her four months ago, but she refused.
"He (Hardip) continued the relationship and one day he spiked my cold drink, while driving with me in a car, took me to an apartment and raped me. He later promised to marry me at the Arya Samaj temple, but used to prevaricate. By that time, I was pregnant, and when I refused abortion, he grudgingly admitted to marry on February 11.
"On February 11, we had the mehendi rituals at our home, and our guests had come. Hardip came out of his home, but suddenly his cellphone was switched off. On being contacted, he refused to marry saying he was being intimidated", says Anjali.

None of the network evening news casts have yet mentioned President Obama's delay of the individual mandate for anyone claiming "hardship," which reportedly would exempt millions from having to purchase health insurance for two more years.
As insurance industry expert Bob Laszewski put it to CNBC's Larry Kudlow on Thursday, Obama "essentially said if you find health insurance unaffordable, you're not going to be mandated to buy it." And as the Wall Street Journal reported last week, ObamaCare's newest mandate delay allows for just that:
"Now all you need to do is fill out a form attesting that your plan was cancelled and that you 'believe that the plan options available in the [ObamaCare] Marketplace in your area are more expensive than your cancelled health insurance policy' or 'you consider other available policies unaffordable'."
Yet the network evening news casts have failed to report this momentous new delay that would exempt millions more from having to purchase health insurance, further affecting ObamaCare's insurance pool.
Also not mentioned was a new delay for those reporting a "hardship in obtaining insurance" where documentation for proof was optional.
Below is a transcript of the segment, which aired on CNBC's The Kudlow Report on Thursday, March 20:
LARRY KUDLOW: Weeks, weeks, weeks, weeks ago I wrote a column saying we ought to have a three-year moratorium on all this stuff. Well here – first we had an individual mandate moratorium that's coming up to three years, but now it seems like the President himself is taking the whole thing off the table. What do you think?
BOB LASZEWSKI: Well, absolutely. The President had an interview with WebMD earlier this week and he essentially said if you find health insurance unaffordable, you're not going to be mandated to buy it. You're not going to pay a fine. Well, a family of four making $59,000 a year, Larry, has to pay $5,000 for health insurance. Then they're going to get an average deductible of $2,600. A family making $71,000 has to pay $6,000. And they're going to pay a deductible of $2,600 a person for that policy, on average. That's not affordable. That's why people are not signing up. So ObamaCare is not affordable. The Pesident has specifically said if you can't afford it, you are not mandated to buy it.
KUDLOW: So this was a new exemption. All right, the first exemption, if you got canceled for your policy, you could renew it. You had to renew it by a year, I think, Bob. And then that became a couple, three years. Then that became permanent. As far as I know, permanent. Now you are saying correctly to my knowledge, this hardship exemption, which I guess is done on a cross basis, it's got 13 other exemptions, plus the one you were talking about, the 14th, which seems to cover everything imaginable. I don't understand, why is he doing this? Because he must know or his advisers must know, they are destroying this center of ObamaCare, which is the individual mandate.
LASZEWSKI: Right. I think the administration will claim early in April that they will have enrolled 6 million people. That's where they're headed. Only about 5 million of those will pay for it based upon the conversations I've had with the carriers, and who's paying and who isn't. Based on those numbers, only about 25 percent of the people who are eligible for subsidies will sign up by March 31st.
That means, Larry, 75 percent of the people will not sign up. Are the Democrats going to go into November finding 75 percent of the people who are eligible for subsidies, and in fact, haven't signed up? That's the political problem he's got. This thing is a hardship. It is unaffordable for most of these families. And he's not going fine them. And that's going to continue to undermine the whole program.
KUDLOW: You know, I loved your blog, I don't know, a couple weeks ago, that in this consumer products company, all of the greatest brains from the greatest universities and the marketing people decided to, you know, design new dog food and they did all their research and all their models. The only thing is they forgot to ask the dogs. And this reminds me, you are exactly right, all the eggheads from the finest universities designed this massive central planning health care system, only they forgot to ask the consumer what they want. And now they're stuck in this. See Bob, I think this just brings down the whole thing and I want to ask you just two more points. Number one, how, what kind of shape are the insurance companies in? Okay. You are saying, 5 million people will sign up for this thing. What kind of shape are the insurance companies? Not only with the low sign-up ratio, but the adverse selection, because the young people didn't come in by more than 20 or 25 perent. So what happens to the insurance?
LASZEWSKI: Well, the insurance companies have got a huge decision that they're going to have to make. They have to go to the Obama administration with their new rates and new health insurance plans by May for the November open enrollment at the end of this year. And these insurance executives have got a heck of a decision to make. They're seeing far fewer enrollments than they expected. They are seeing the age of the population far older. They are seeing a lot of their old customers signing up. When you separate the people who already had insurance, and just look at the number of uninsured who are signing up, it's not that many. Which means they are probably sick. When you get a very small turnout like this, it's going to be the sick people signing up first.
So the insurance companies have got a big set of decisions to make as to what they're going to do for 2015. If they actually charged the real rates, based upon the poor number of people we've gotten, health insurance rates are going to skyrocket beyond what they are and they're already unaffordable. Or does the insurance company do its best to keep the rates down, absorb losses – remember, there is a $20 billion re-insurance fund subsidizeing insurance company losses. So do they use that, subsidize the rates another year and hope that the Obama administration can reboot that? That's the set of decisions the insurance executives have to make.
KUDLOW: I know it's in the law. I know the re-insurance is in the law. I know all that is in the law. The risk corridors are in the law. I just tell you, Bob Laszewski, particularly in an election year, if the insurance companies, maybe through no fault of their own, if they have to get money from Uncle Sam, aka a bailout, all hell will break loose. It will become a campaign issue on the front page. ObamaCare front page. ObamaCare getting bailed out, holy cow, I can't even acknowledge that. I'm going to ask our political experts later – you are infering that that may happen, are you not?
LASZEWSKI: Well, I don't think the insurance companies can charge the real rates here. They're going to have to rely on the $20 billion re-insurance fund, which is a legitimate fund, because when you got all these sick people coming through, whether it's 6 million or 12 million, costs were going to be a lot higher than premiums could support. Be you the problem is, there is no light at the end of the tunnel with ObamaCare with the very low enrollment we've got.

Regardless of whatever success may have been attained on other stages in other cities, a New York debut still carried a special importance for a young artist. The late Glenn Gould used to refer somewhat disparagingly to New York as ''Debut Town''; a success won in Manhattan may have a disproportionate effect on future performances in other parts of the globe.
Carnegie Recital Hall was the scene of three such debut concerts last week. Sunday night, the guitarist Carlo Pezzimenti offered a concert that included music from pre-Baroque through postmodernist. Mr. Pezzimenti, who grew up in Italy, has concertized throughout Europe and the United States, and he has two recordings available on the Elba label. Mr. Pezzimenti is a staff member at the University of Texas and at Brookhaven College in Dallas. He is also, if Sunday's concert is a correct indication, an uneven artist capable of mixing the first-rate with the pedestrian.
Mr. Pezzimenti opened his program with an anonymous Andante from the Renaissance. In his hands, this grave and lovely work made its effect with a simple reserved eloquence. However, in the second selection, a Moderato by Fernando Sor, Mr. Pezzimenti's playing took on a certain tenuous, unfocused quality, and he never seemed quite secure in the handling of his material. In Isaac Albeniz's well-known ''Asturias,'' Mr. Pezzimenti wandered aimlessly, many of the accompanimental figurings seemed mechanical, and the guitar tone was harsh.
In the second portion of his program, Mr. Pezzimenti was joined by the pianist Jim Phelps for a performance of Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco's, ''Concerto in D.'' Although the piano reduction of the orchestral part sounded a little sketchy, the two men made a good effect in this pleasing, unprepossessing music.
Monday night, the mezzo-soprano Senta Sundberg made her debut in Carnegie Recital Hall with an ambitious program of music from Monteverdi to Menotti. Her vocal shortcomings were immediately apparent; Miss Sundberg's range is narrow, her diction unclear, and her intonation sloppy. She was at her best in the more dramatic passages, when a certain histrionic ability compensated for what she lacked in musicianship. Miss Sundberg was ably accompanied by Tim Lindberg.
A more interesting recital took place Thursday night, when the New York Recital Associates presented Toyohiko Satoh, a Baroque lutist. Mr. Satoh, a tall shaggy-haired gentleman born in Japan and living in The Hague, is one of our best-known lutists, having recorded extensively with such artists as Gustav Loenhardt, Frans Bruggen and Elly Ameling. Thursday's concert, however, marked Mr. Satoh's formal New York debut.
And he offered a most attractive recital indeed. Mr. Satoh limited his program to the music of two composers, J.F. Bach and his almost exact contemporary Sylvius Leopold Weiss. Mr. Satoh played with close attention to correct Baroque stylization, but there was an intensity and sense of drama rarely found among the pristine ranks of the certifiably ''authentic.''
Mr. Satoh's playing has a clipped cool grandeur, and there were an electric tension and rhythmic spring to much of his work. The evening's several fugal selections found Mr. Satoh at his best, with each phrase allowed to live its own spendid and isolated life, yet combining with the other voices to create a totality greater than the sum of its parts. This was a thoughtful and rewarding concert; one is confident that Mr. Satoh has a distinguished career ahead of him.

Images of America: Ludlow
Author: Judy L. Neff
Disproportionate to its small size, Ludlow's history is undeniably spacious. Situated along the Ohio River, Ludlow is located in the northernmost region of Kentucky, south of Cincinnati. Although not officially incorporated until 1864, Ludlow had been established much earlier by a handful of affluent families. As an alternative to chaotic city life, Ludlow offered residents vast land and tranquil surroundings where they could build their estates. Shortly thereafter, however, the late 19th century would bring the railroad to Ludlow, sparking dramatic growth and expansion of the city. Images of America: Ludlow displays a spectrum of photographs, from the hardworking faces of the Cincinnati Southern Railroad to the lively happenings at the Lagoon Amusement Park. Opening in 1895, the amusement park provided over two decades of entertainment and leisure activities for the community. Extensively photographed, it now endows us with striking images featured in a unique chapter. Additional views of businesses, churches, schools, and citizens give further glimpses of early life in Ludlow.

The Lions drain a 3-pointer before the regulation buzzer and outscore the Cougars 13-2 in the extra period..
The Canby girls basketball team though it had the game in the bag.
But West Linn drained a desperation 3-pointer at the end of regulation to force overtime, and the Cougars were unable to bounce back in a 69-58 loss at home Jan. 31.
Canby (13-5, 2-2 in the Three Rivers League) entered the pivotal matchup with wins in four of its previous five games but fell to fourth place in the conference standings behind Oregon City, Clackamas and the Lions (14-3, 3-1).
Senior guard Bailey Raines scored a team-high 15 points and senior forward Rachel Erbe added 14 for the Cougars, who were slated to face the Cavaliers on the road at 6 p.m. Feb. 4.
Senior guard Ashley Evans converted a go-ahead 3-pointer with less than six seconds remaining in the fourth quarter, but West Linns Sidney Kolasinski answered with a game-tying three on a shot from the right wing that referees determined left her hand before the buzzer.
Canby was outscored 13-2 in the extra period.
The Lions were led by Ashley Johnson (19 points), Genna Hughes (16) and Morgan Haskin (13).
For the Cougars, the loss came three days after they obliterated Lakeridge 84-30 at home. They overwhelmed the Pacers with their defensive pressure, leading 26-2 at the end of the first quarter and holding a 45-10 edge at halftime.
Raines had 16 points as one of five Canby players in double figures. Evans and Skylee Doman each added 12, while Morgan Meisenheimer and Taylor Jorgensen contributed 10 apiece.

Gov. Granholm and Brembo Announce Brembo North America Expanding in Michigan
LANSING, Mich., June 17, 2008 -- Governor Jennifer M. Granholm and Brembo today announced that the company will consolidate its corporate and technical groups from Northville, Farmington Hills and Costa Mesa, Calif. at a new headquarters to be built in Novi. The subsidiary of Bergamo, Italy-based Brembo S.p.A. will also expand capacity at its manufacturing facility in Homer (Calhoun County). The combined project is expected to retain and create 325 jobs directly by the company for a total of 1,049 Michigan jobs retained and created.
"One of the world's most innovative suppliers has chosen to invest and expand in Michigan because this is a great place to do business," Granholm said. "Brembo North America has been a long-time member of our state's corporate community, and we will work to assure their continued success as they provide good-paying jobs in our state."
Brembo is a world leader in the design, development and production of high performance braking systems and components. Teams equipped with Brembo brakes have won auto and motorcycle racing championships including Formula 1, IndyCar and NASCAR.
"With the acquisition of Hayes-Lemmerz brake discs division last November, 2007 was a banner year for Brembo North America," Brembo North America General Manager Adrian Smith said. "The consolidation and expansion of our operations in Michigan, building on the skills of our workforce and competitiveness of our manufacturing facilities, create great opportunities for sustained growth in North America."
Based on the MEDC's recommendation, the Michigan Economic Growth Authority today approved state tax credits valued at $3.5 million over 10 years to convince the company to expand in Michigan rather than competing sites in North Carolina and Mexico. In addition, The MEDC will provide job-training assistance of up to $500,000 through the Economic Development Job Training program. To support the project, the city of Novi is considering a reduction/reimbursement of permitting fees and an expedited approval process. Albion Township has approved a 12-year abatement estimated at $1.8 million.
"As a Michigan company, Brembo enjoys access to suppliers, customers and a tech- savvy workforce," MEDC President and CEO James C. Epolito said. "We have a strong business case for the company's continued prosperity in Michigan."
Brembo North America serves a customer base in the United States, Canada and Mexico. The new 45,000-square-foot combined headquarters and Technical Center is scheduled for completion by the end of this year. The project is expected to create a total of 42 jobs at the headquarters, and through the expansion in Homer (Albion Township) 176 new jobs and 107 retained positions. This is another important step for Brembo that will enable the company to support all of its customers' North American operations.
"We are pleased to welcome another outstanding international technical supplier with strong roots in Michigan to Novi," Mayor David B. Landry said. "Our supportive and diverse community with high quality businesses, neighborhoods and schools will provide a great location for Brembo's headquarters for many years to come."
An economic analysis conducted by the MEDC estimates that increased economic activity generated by the Brembo expansion will spin off an additional 724 indirect Michigan jobs in addition to the 325 created directly by the company. The project is expected to generate more than $424 million in personal income for Michigan workers over the life of the tax credit.
"We are excited about this expansion of Brembo's operations in Albion Township," Albion Economic Development Corporation President and CEO Peggy Sindt said. "Brembo is a great employer, offering good jobs and the opportunity for advancement. We appreciate Brembo's investment and their vote of confidence in our workforce."
The Brembo North America expansion is one of 11 economic development projects the governor announced today. In all, they are expected to create and retain a total of 3,901 Michigan jobs.
In her 2008 State of the State address, Granholm emphasized the importance of creating opportunity in the changing world of the 21st century. Since January 2005, the Governor and the MEDC have announced the creation or retention of more than 241,000 jobs as a result of targeted assistance provided by the MEDC.
The Michigan Economic Development Corporation, a partnership between the state and local communities, promotes smart economic growth by developing strategies and providing services to create and retain good jobs and a high quality of life.

Nicole Gibbons's New York Home
Inside This Oprah Network Star's Glamorous Apartment
As an online contributor for beloved relaunched Domino magazine, what are your responsibilities in this role? How did you land this coveted position?
My role involves writing online articles for Domino.com. I built a great relationship with Editor in Chief Michelle Adams when she was at Lonny, and so when she moved on to work with Domino she approached me to become a contributor. I've always loved Domino, so working with the team was a no-brainer.
What obstacles have you faced during your career, and how were you able to overcome them?
I don't see it as an obstacle necessarily, but as a designer I'm completely self-taught for the most part, so there is a certain amount of technical expertise that I am still learning. I've taken classes here and there at FIT and NYU and of course have gotten a great education through the process of researching and writing my blog and talking with some of the industry's top designers, but I still learn on the job all the time. When I think about it, most of the designers I admire most and who have had stellar careers are also self-taught, so I remind myself of that fact all the time and am constantly educating myself by asking tons of questions, learning a lot from my workroom vendors, talking to other designer colleagues and reading a ton.
I am also lucky that I have my mom as a resource as well as several good friends in the industry who are superhelpful in sharing resources and advice when I need it. On the contrary, I think the skills I developed through my previous experience working in PR and events have helped me tremendously as an entrepreneur. I've managed large-scale, very complex projects with a lot of moving parts, multimillion-dollar budgets, and am incredibly savvy when it comes to PR and marketing, which are all tremendously helpful skills to have in running a business.
You split your time between Los Angeles and New York — that sounds fun, impressive, and exhausting! Describe a typical day or week in the life of Nicole Gibbons. As an interior designer, tastemaker, blogger and on-air personality, how do you achieve a work/life balance especially with so much travel?
I try to spend a week every six weeks in LA and also did a two-month stint there last Summer filming Home Made Simple. I am juggling a lot between my design business, blog, and work as an on-air personality, and honestly, I still haven't quite found balance. I work 24/7. I am constantly out networking and even on the weekends I'm often shopping for clients, working on the blog, and live tweeting on Saturday mornings during Home Made Simple. It all leaves me with little free time to have a robust personal life. I think having a great team is important. Right now I have two interns and work with a small team of freelancers who help me with various ongoing projects. For me, I don't think there is such thing as a typical day. Every day is different. Some days I'm working from home in the morning and then doing lunches, meetings and auditions in the afternoon. Other days I'm visiting a job site, meeting with clients or out in the market shopping and sourcing for clients or TV segments. Some days I stay in to focus on putting together presentations, and some days I'm on set filming something or doing a photo shoot in my home. I'm always busy.
