Throughout my life I have achieved many remarkable things. In Screw It, Let's Do It, I will share with you my ideas and the secrets of my success, but not simply because I hope they'll help you achieve your individual goals. Today we are increasingly aware of the effects of our actions on the environment, and I strongly believe that we each have a responsibility, as individuals and organisations, to do no harm. I will draw on Gaia Capitalism to explain why we need to take stock of how we may be damaging the environment, and why it is up to big companies like Virgin to lead the way in a more holistic approach to business. In Screw It, Let's Do It I'll be looking forwards to the future. A lot has changed since I founded Virgin in 1968, and I'll explain how I intend to take my business and my ideas to the next level and the new and exciting areas - such as launching Virgin Fuels - into which Virgin is currently moving. But I have also brought together all the important lessons, good advice and inspirational adages that have helped me along the road to success. Ironically, I have never been one to do things by the book, but I have been inspired and influenced by many remarkable people. I hope that you too might find a little inspiration between these pages.

It's been over twenty years since Madonna and Sean Penn divorced -- and these days, the once-warring couple are friendly enough to break bread together.
Madonna, 51, and Penn, 49, shared a three-hour, one-on-one dinner at four-star Alain Ducasse restaurant in Manhattan on Thursday; TMZ has video footage documenting their exits from the venue.
In what was the first marriage for them both, the pop superstar and acclaimed actor were married, not-so-peacefully, from 1985 to 1989. (The media dubbed them the "Poison Penns" at the time for their constant fighting; Penn famously assaulted a photographer angling for a picture of Madonna.)
Madonna went on to marry Guy Ritchie in 2000; she gave birth to his son, Rocco, that year, and they later adopted David Banda in Malawi. (Madonna has a daughter from a previous relationship, and has since adopted a daughter, Mercy James, in Malawi.) The entertainer has been dating Brazilian model Jesus Luz, 23, since early 2009.
Penn married Robin Wright Penn in 1996, and they have two children; after a few splits and reconciliations the couple confirmed their impending divorce in 2009.

A Curator, Her Garden And Her Art
By FRAN R. SCHUMER
Published: June 10, 1987
ON a recent spring evening, a small part of the art world gathered in the Museum of Modern Art's sculpture garden to pay tribute to one of its group.
The list of guests was resonant with Rockefellers. Claes Oldenburg was there; so was Philip Johnson. But the name of the person they had come to honor was less well known.
Alicia Bell Legg, 71 years old, a curator at the museum since 1979 and a part of its history for much longer, has been called, most notably by the architect Mr. Johnson, the ''goddess of the garden,'' though fortunately not to her face. With characteristic modesty and her unerring ear for truth, she would, no doubt, dismiss the phrase as ridiculous and overblown.
Guardian would be more apt. Mr. Johnson designed the garden in 1953, and others selected from the Picassos and Moores what should go where. Miss Legg stepped in only in 1972, seeing that the intent of the garden's principal designers has been preserved and adding bits of genius all her own.
The occasion for the evening's gathering was Miss Legg's retirement. For 38 years Miss Legg, with her no-nonsense clothes and approach, has worked at the museum, sometimes on important exhibitions that brought her acclaim, but most of the time on smaller jobs, and these she attacked with energy, skill and pluck. ''She's the classic back-room curator,'' said Richard E. Oldenburg, the museum's director, ''the kind of curator who is indispensable to every museum. She doesn't even know how good she is.''
Over the years, she has won the devotion of a core of artists - Sol LeWitt, Claes Oldenburg, Louise Bourgeois and others - who appreciate her skill and the graceful ability with which she avoids the politics that preoccupy others in this often temperamental world.
''If I had to use two words to describe Alicia Legg, they would be 'uncompromising integrity,' '' said Pearl Moeller, who was in charge of special collections in the museum library and is now retired.
''She stands for ethical quality in the art world, a rarer and rarer thing,'' said William Rubin, director of painting and sculpture.
She is also a survivor of a previous era, a tale-bearer from the time when painters like Matisse were still suspect and the museum, in the words of Mr. Rubin, ''was small enough to have a soul.''
Miss Legg, however, has a different rendering of all that: ''I was a spoiled girl from New Jersey who didn't know anything. I was just grateful to be here.'' Born in 1915, Miss Legg grew up in
Hackensack, where she had the kind of charmed girlhood from which one never recovers: tennis, classes at the Art Students League and frequent trips to France.
She produced some commendable drawings but realized she was a minor talent, at best, and like other artists manque, gravitated to museums.
Her first job at the Museum of Modern Art was as an assistant in the library, but in 1949, even that unglamorous position had its thrills. ''It wasn't like today, where everyone has assistants and assistants,'' Miss Moeller said. ''People did their own research.''
The art world was a small one and an exciting one, too, which is why women like Miss Legg felt none of the modern woman's displeasure at being asked to type or file or rescue some crucial fact from obscurity. But after years as a library assistant and then as a secretary in the department of painting and sculpture, even she rebelled.
''I saw all these kids, fresh out of college, with B.A.'s in art history survey courses, coming in and getting more interesting jobs,'' said Miss Legg, whose only degree was from a finishing school outside Philadelphia.
''I'd been through the department. I'd worked on exhibitions. The kids didn't know anything. I'd end up doing all the work.'' Other curators came and went. Women went off to get married and men moved on to better jobs. But Miss Legg, who never lost her sense of mission even as the museum grew into middle age, stayed on, slowly ascending the curatorial ranks.
In 1961, Miss Legg, by then an assistant curator, noticed symptoms of a disease that would have forced less determined people to cut short their careers. Instead, hers flowered.
She was standing on the terrace outside the members' dining room when she first realized that her peripheral vision was gone. ''That night, I went to the opera, and the same thing happened,'' she said. ''I could only see center stage. The next day I went to an eye doctor.''
She was diagnosed as suffering from a rare form of encephalitis, one that leaves its victims increasingly paralyzed. A year later, her gait became more and more unsteady, and she started to fall frequently. ''I can tell you I've fallen in Paris, London, all over the place,'' Miss Legg said.
But after falling in front of a bus, she acquiesced to a leg brace and, eventually, a four-pronged platform cane. ''My problem isn't half as bad as Alicia's, and I'm amazed at what she does,'' said Mr. Rubin, who also uses a cane. ''You'd be walking in SoHo, and there would be Alicia on the other side. I was in Paris last year, and there was Alicia walking about.''

Mr. Smo
Dear eInida,
I would just like to apologize to everyone I have hurt here in my recent trip to eIndia. It has been a short dramatic time for me and some of you. I hope you all understand that I am truly sorry for all of the distraction I have caused. I did not want to cause such distraction in the political world, but as a result of my selfish actions, I have. I am deeply sorry for barging in and going against the culture of eIndia. What I should have done was, move here and get to know everyone. Instead I decided to create a second political party without the opinions of any of you. I am not asking for any of you to forgive me, but I am just asking if you can give me a second chance here. I may have derided a lot of what was going on in the government and else where before giving some respect, but I am sure I can give more respect from now on. I also plan to open up a businesses here. As for my political plans here, I plan on staying in India's Workers Party. I plan on taking a back seat for a while until I have really begun to understand fully how things go around here. I do not plan on running for president, but I may run for congress on and off in the future. I know some of you have already condemned me for my actions, but I believe I can do better than this. To those of you who think I will never value eInida over the eUS, I am here for good now and promise to support eIndia over the eUS.
P.S.-David, can you please un-ban me from eIndia's forum? I would love to stay here and get a second chance.
Voted. If you have this kind of attitude you will definitely find people of eIndia very friendly. They are not against you but were only against your thoughts. SO if you give respect you will definitely get more respect and support from people. 🙂
if u really wanna do us a favour then close down this India's workers party
VOTED. Now you have done the right thing and i have accepted your friendship request. I agree with Kiran. You should stay here and try to win everyone's hearts and you will defenitely get our support.
As for IWP, now i am the President, so there is no danger to India.
Smo -
Stay like this as what you are now ,this is good for both you & us, u can open up business here but don't bother urself into politics ,otherwise it may lead to one more apology from you ....
I've not voted tbh, you have called me many things in both private and in public including a thief and I always go on my instincts and I dont trust you at all and still will do all I can to make you leave India, sorry if that offends anyone but thats my view.
Hmm, well. A lot has been said already and I'm not going to say anything more than this:
Proof yourself,
Good luck.
I totally agree with brood. Any way, you cant get a congress chance this time.
Thanks to all of you who accepted my apology. I don't care if you took it or not, but I just wanted to let you all know that I am truly sorry. I will stay out of politics for a while but not forever. My businss will be opening soon, so stay posted if you are interested.
David, or any eIndian forum admin, can you please un-ban me form the forum?
guys be carefull, a defeated man always licks his wounds and plans a strategy to strike back
Everyone makes mistake but takes guts to admit a mistake that you have made. Welcome to eIndia!
Its ironical that here you are apoligising and in the next article you are talking of a third party. If you continue like this, you will face dire consequences. I will also not allow you to contest for Congress.
I think you should leave. I have been tracking this and no-one should stay after what u hav done.
I also believe you are not one who can fit in here...so deleting y comments...you should leave...which wil be more rspectful for you ...rather than just being here and getting such comments...Its best way to respect d peoples where u are living..as everyone here want u to leave...

PASADENA (AP) — Pasadena police are investigating after a Caltrans crew clearing brush discovered human bones on a hillside near the 134 Freeway.
The San Gabriel Valley Tribune reports (http://bit.ly/1kaJj01 ) the discovery was made Thursday afternoon in a residential area just south of the Rose Bowl.
Homicide detectives and coroner's officials remained on the scene early Friday.
The newspaper says no further description of the bones was available, and it was not clear if foul play was involved in the death.
The remains were expected to be turned over to a forensic anthropologist for examination.

Berlin (Jul. 3)
German Jews will undoubtedly lose their German citizenship if the project outlined at Dresden by the Reichstag Deputy Stiehler, at a mass meeting attended by 70,000 Nazis, materializes.
Stiehler, who is the chief of Saxony's Labor Front, in which both labor unions and employers are included, declared that only the producing elements, to which the Jews as a matter of course cannot belong, can be included in the Labor Front, only members of which are eligible to German citizenship.

Walking to raise awareness about autism
Fri, 05 Apr 2013 02:16:35 GMT —
Families of children with autism walked in unity Thursday night to raise more awareness about the condition.
Members of Quincy's Autism Support Group walked from Quincy Medical Group to Washington Park and back.
April is Autism Awareness month.
"My son, Brady, was diagnosed with autism, and I support different autism events throughout the area," Carla Shank said.
Shank and her son were just two of the dozens of people who turned out for Thursday night's Autism Support Group walk. They say events such as this one help provide a support group for families who have a child with autism.
"It helps families come together and talk about things," she said. "We meet other people with the same difficulties that we have day to day with school and learning and blending in with the community."
Organizers say the walk also is a communication tool.
"It's really to give the families and the public awareness about autism," Shank said.
"I would just like for people to not look at a child with a disability but to look at them as a whole person and not say autistic. They have autism," Shank explained. "The condition doesn't define who they are. They need to look past the label."
There are a number of other events planned throughout the month of April for Autism Awareness month.
AMC Theatres in Quincy will present a sensory friendly version of the movie, "The Croods" at 10 a.m. on Saturday, April 6.
There's also a fund raiser in Hannibal on April 25 to benefit the Shane White Autism Medical Alert project.
Organizers of that fundraiser are in the process of creating an autism medical alert bracelet with GPS in case the child becomes lost.

what can I do to help these two areas? Currently I am using Retin A .1% but it does nothing for forehead and under eyes? Any suggestions please!

Treatment for rejuvenation
Consulting with a reputable surgeon in your area will give you your best options for optimal facial rejuvenation.
Combining Fillers and Neuromodulators (Botox, Dysport, Xeomin) Helps Worry Lines, Scowl Lines and Under Eye Wrinkles & Troughs
Photoaging and chronologic aging-related deterioration in the quality and quantity of collagen and elastin fibers and hyaluronic acid along with concomitant overactivity of the muscles of facial expression all contribute to the formation of scowl (frown) lines between the eyes, worry lines across the forehead and crinkles and crepeyness under the eyes. Fortunately, we have neuromodulators, such as Botox, Dysport and Xeomin to damp the muscular hyperkinesis and fillers, like Belotero Balance that can elevate the etchings and creases that result from the above processes.
Treatments can be done at separate times or combined at one session to save time, the latter being my preference. When done at separate sessions, the neuromodulator is usually injected first and then two weeks later the filler. When done at the same time, the order is reversed. It generally takes only microdroplets of each kind of material to achieve a significant improvement.
When neuromodulators are used alone for treatment, results may last between four and six months. When fillers alone are used, results may last six to eight months. When combined, results may last a year or more. The results of treating tear troughs, which are generally managed with filler alone may last for two years or more.

Help for forehead and under eyes?
Unfortunately, creams will not help your eyelids and forehead look better. Surgery is the best answer. See an Oculoplastic surgeon to go over the best options to improve your eyelids and forehead area.

Frown lines and under-eye bags are easily treated.
Having the fat removed from your under eye bags for roughly $2500-3500 and having the 2 frown lines filled in with restylane, juvederm or belotero for roughly $550 would be great and easy to undergo. Keep up the retin A. Sincerely,

Brow lift and upper and lower eyelid surgery to rejuvenate
I think you would be a good candidate for brow lift, either endoscopic or coronal, as well as upper and lower eyelid surgery.
Peri-Ocular Surgery??
Thanks for the photograph. Yes, you are doing the right thing by trying to maintain your skin. You have now most likely realized it is time for something else. Yes, surgery on the peri-ocular area can and does result in dramatic changes in appearance. This is because the first thing you look at when you look at someone is their eyes then, you track to the nose and the rest of their face.
An upper and lower lid bletharoplasty will certainly help with the excessive upper eyelid skin and bags around your eyes. But, to tighten up the skin and help get ride of those peri-ocular wrinkles and folds ,CO2 laser treatment would be of great assistance. Your frown lines could easily be treated with a bit of Filler and Botox.
May I suggest you seek out a member of the ASAPS in your area for a consult. Best,
Gary R Culbertson, MD, FACS
Non invasive eyebrow lift with Ultherapy and at some point lower eyelid surgery
Ultherapy is FDA approved for non invasive eyebrow lift which would raise your eyebrows and open your eyes. At some point, consider lower eyelid surgery to remove the fat pads. Continue retin A as it will keep your skin brilliant and young. Botox for the 11 lines may be a consideration for you.

Forehead and lower eyelid improvement
Looking at your pictures, you are a great candidate for a lower eyelid blepharoplasty to improve your lower eyelids. This surgery will reduce the puffiness or"bags" under your eyes. Its hard to tell from the photo, but you may also have some lid laxity that can be addressed during the same surgery. You have excess skin and fat on your upper eyelids as well, which can be significantly improved with an upper blepharoplasty. Your forehead lines and eyebrow position would benefit from and forehead lift. Less invasive options to improve your forehead include botox in combination with a resurfacing procedure. Resurfacing with a laser or deep chemical peel with improve wrinkles and overall skin texture. Many of your lines are deep and would be difficult to significantly change with skin care and botox alone.
Forehead and eyes
Based solely on your photos, it looks like you could benefit from a brow lift because of your forehad lines and lateral hooding. You probably could also benefit from having your eyes done as well.
Help for forehead and under eyes?
Based on the single photo you submitted, your best option for improvement of your lower eyelids would be blepharoplasty the most common procedure I perform. A small amount of extra skin and protruding fat is removed from the lower eyelid to create a more youthful lower eyelid. You might also consider the same procedure on your upper eyelids to open your eyes and eliminate the tired eye look. With regard to your forehead, you would benefit significantly from laser skin resurfacing to smooth and rejuvenate not only the skin of the forehead. The rest of your face would be treated at the same time. I hope this information is helpful.

15-year-old Bothell boy shot near FDA building, booked for assaulting guard | Update
A 15-year-old boy who was shot by a security guard for the Food and Drug Administration Friday morning was booked in the Denny Juvenile Center in Everett for second-degree assault.
The Bothell Police Department received a 911 call at approximately 7 a.m. from someone at the FDA's Pacific Regional Laboratory building in the Canyon Park neighborhood. The report was of a suspicious person in the parking lot.
Two contract protective security officers approached the boy in the parking lot and he fled on foot, according to Snohomish County Sheriff's Office officials.
The boy returned a short time later and got into a vehicle parked at the facility. As the guards approached the vehicle, the suspect backed out and the vehicle struck one of them. The security officers fired at the vehicle and shot the boy.
"They said that they were dealing with a suspicious person in the parking lot," said Bothell police Capt. Denise Langford. "We received a second call not too long after of shots fired."
The boy was shot in the foot during the incident.
"He fled towards his residence and was then involved in a hit-and-run accident," said Langford.
That accident, which the Bothell Police Department is investigating separately from the shooting incident, took place on SR 527 and 228th Street Southeast. The driver of the second vehicle was not injured in the accident.
Langford said that police tracked the boy to his residence a mile from the FDA building. He was taken to Evergreen Hospital for a gun shot to the foot and "minor facial wounds."
He is being held in custody for questioning.The Northshore School District's Secondary Alternative School is located directly behind the FDA building.
"I think he is a ninth grader at S.A.S.," said S.A.S. student Austin Persons, who witnessed the incident.
The Northshore School District put S.A.S. into a modified lockdown as a precautionary measure, said Leanna Albrecht, noting the lockdown has been lifted. She also confirmed the boy was a NSD student.
Persons said that he did not personally know the 15-year-old boy.
"I was pulling up and heard the gun shots," said Persons. "I thought 'oh my God and I am going to get hit in crossfire.' I saw the car go into the ditch."
Tire tracks could be seen in one of the small grassy areas near the intersection of 22nd Street Southeast and 23rd Drive Southeast.It is unknown if the tired tracks were from the car the boy was in. Police cordoned off about two square blocks of the business park.
The scene was secured and the Snohomish County Multi Agency Response Team will be leading the investigation in partnership with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
The Security Officers are contracted by Federal Protective Services under DHS. The incident remains under investigation.

Myasthenia Gravis
Chicken pox and hepatitis A&B vaccination
Im currently 30 years old and would like to consider getting myself vaccine against Chicken Pox and Hepetitis A & B. Would like to seek your opinion if this is advisable for an MG patient. Thank you.
These vaccines are advisable to prevent disease in people who are exposed to certain risk factors (bodily fluids, sexually active, etc). They are not mandatory for patients with myasthenia. Viral vaccines come in two types—attenuated live virus and inactivated (dead) virus. Patients who are on immunosuppression (prednisone, azathioprine, methotrexate, etc.) are recommended to not take a live attenuated vaccine due to the fact that your immune system is weakened. Hepatitis B and Hepatitis A can both be given in an inactivated viral form, but the chicken pox (varicella) vaccine is still a live attenuated vaccine. Talk to your doctor and make sure that if you are going to get the vaccines, that you get inactivated forms. As far as the varicella vaccine, I am not sure that I can recommend this vaccine 100% yet. I have had patients with immunosuppression get this vaccine and have no problems, but it is still probably not advisable.

collaboration among Edutopia groupsMore Related Discussions
Hi, I am a middle school (gr 5-8) librarian of 20 years. I am interested in knowing about how Edutopia goes about linking content groups together. It seems to me that, especially true for librarians, if we only talk to each other, we are not moving forward. While looking over the Edutopia site, I perused the middle school group - while there I discovered several questions that could easily have been answered by a competent school librarian. Do I need to read all the blogs/groups? How do we get together with those who would benefit from our knowledge? I'd like to collaborate with more teachers - try to stem the tide of those who think that all they need are laptops and classroom collections of Book Club books. Now, Edutopia, what do you do to link educators with librarians?
This post was created by a member of Edutopia's community. If you have your own #eduawesome tips, strategies, and ideas for improving education, share them with us.

Hi Peg --
This is a great question. Currently there is no mechanism to direct questions to librarians. But that said, if there are enough librarians like yourself who would be available to answer these types of questions, we can begin on a campaign to encourage people to post their library-oriented questions in this group. Does that seem like a good idea? Let me know and I'll work on that.

We're quite liberal, and she's quite "conservative", so I'm not surprised I guess. Just seems so ignorant (as if clothes make someone gay) & mean-spirited (I mean, would she not love her grandson if he did "turn out" gay???).
Cathy Mama to James(6)and Maggie Mae (1) Wife to Dave
And with #3 Due in August 2013!!!
Just had to say there are conservatives on this board too. I wouldn't think that. You can't make anyone gay by dressing them with something someone might think is feminine. It's silly though to make assumptions just because someone is a conservative that they think badly about gays. I've had many gay friends. You are who you are.
From one APing conservative mama.
To get back on track, here is a quickie:
My MIL told us not to let DD hang upside down, because her liver might become detached!
She has lots of silly wives tales (cat will steal baby's breath, etc...)
I live in Hawaii and we go to the beach a lot. When I was pregnant, my grandmother would chastise me for it every time I called her. She kept telling me that I needed to stay away from the water because it was dangerous - she told me she was worried I would be attacked by a shark! She was absolutely convinced and it got so bad that my mother made me swear to lie and say I wasn't going swimming anymore.
I guess that's what you get for living your entire life inland and knowing nothing about the ocean. My chances of getting attacked by a shark are less than being struck by lightning.
And yet, it was perfectly fine with her for me to get in the car and drive to work every day while pregnant. Yeesh!

I know what you mean. This happened to me with my SIL when DS was only a week or two old. I think there was something that really bothered me about my baby smelling like another woman as well as the other issues. Probably overactive hormones but I would bathe DS right after she left, :.

This one is not so bad but I will relay it anyway. I was grocery shopping with my 11 month old on my back in the Ergo. She clearly was happy. The cashier said, "You should get one of those Baby Bjorn's where they hang from the front." I said, "Oh no, those kill your back. I had one for my first and I deliberately did not give it to a friend because I didn't want to subject them to the pain." I usually am not outspoken about my opinions to strangers so I was proud for clearly stating my opinion.
"Homeschool your own kids? Yeah, right. You'll be putting them in public school after two weeks, you just wait and see."
Well, after pregnancy being the best 9 months of my life (no offense to those who had difficult pregnancies), having a drug-free UNASSISTED childbirth, and a ECd baby who's tiny tush has never once touched a plastic diaper, you'd think they would actually see some sense by now.
But no. I still am somehow incapable of caring for my children the way I want to. "It's just too hard!"
|Wasn't that in an episode of House recently? It wasn't a baby. A grown woman's liver was hanging. She was fine laying down, but passed out whenever they stood her up.
My mother is finding it very hard to accept the way we are parenting our daughter. When I told her that I won't be buying a crib for my 10 week old DD, and that we will keep her in our bed, she told me that it is unhygienic!!!
Poor Mum . We are loving every minute of sleeping together!

At Schools, a Fresh Spin on Lunchroom Fare
By DANA BOWEN
Published: September 14, 2004
A modern egg cream and healthier Jamaican beef patties are among the new menu items being offered this year to the 1.1 million children in New York City's public schools.
''We have balsamic vinegar now; we have olive oil!'' Jorge Leon Collazo, the school system's first executive chef, enthusiastically told about 400 cafeteria supervisors, managers and cooks at a sneak preview at Long Island City High School last Thursday. The presentation was organized by the Department of Education's Office of SchoolFood (formerly called School Food Nutritional Services), whose mission is to feed children healthier meals and reduce costs in the process.
While Mr. Collazo encouraged workers to blanch vegetables and toss mixed greens into revamped salad bars, David Berkowitz, the executive director of SchoolFood since December, identified a goal every parent can understand: ''We need to make it feel like they're going to a McDonald's, but with a healthier focus.''
Mr. Collazo's recipes drew raves at the preview lunch: shredded cheese, fresh salsa and cornbread topped chili in a black bowl; Spanish rice was fluffy and well-seasoned; and breaded chicken was baked in a zesty tomato sauce.
In addition to new recipes, popular products have been reformulated to make them healthier. Baked sausage breakfast rolls are now made with unbleached flour and kaiser rolls are made with whole wheat. Students may recognize new snacks from the supermarket shelves: Stacy's gluten-free and low fat pita chips, Veggie Booty, Skinny Cow's 98 percent fat-free ice cream and Frito-Lay's line of multigrain baked chips. There's fresh milk in flavors like strawberry and vanilla, and 1 percent low-fat milk is packaged in Looney Tunes containers.
Mr. Collazo, who was hired in May, will standardize recipes across the city's 1,200 public schools, as well as 300 parochial and charter schools, with the help of five new regional chefs.
Marty Oestreicher, the chief executive of school support services, says SchoolFood's early changes have already cut costs and sold more meals, which has led to increased government reimbursement.
But ultimately, SchoolFood is about the food -- and whether New York children can be convinced to eat it. To that end, fresh pineapple ''pops'' and miniature grape bunches are being offered in brightly colored, individual plastic packaging.
''It could be the best food in the world, but if it's not cool, the kids won't eat it,'' Mr. Berkowitz said.

2013 Dodge Dart Reviews
2013 Dart Owner Reviews (3)
AOL user 2015-02-14 15:10:41
don't be misguided by bad reviews
AOL user 2014-08-10 21:06:55
I bought this car from the show room floor after driving it 5 miles. I have a 2012 jeep that I LOVE but this car is soooo much fun to drive! I have the Limited with the big screen for back up and it has gotten okay gas mileage so far. I bought this when I went back to work because I drive 72 miles a day for work. I really hate to say that it is quieter than than my $40,000 Jeep. I truly enjoy the sound system, the ease of getting in to parking spaces and watching the gas mileage. The enterior is superb.....not cheaply made. So what that you can't go 60 in 2 seconds, I'm trying to save money. I have an Elantra that my daughter drives and this car surpases that for comfort, gas mileage and enterior design. I told my husband this is my "Late life crisi car". No problems.
The 2013 Dart
n2utg 2012-12-23 19:51:59
We bought ours in late October. It's a base SE model with a manual 6 speed tranny. I Haven't had so much fun driving a car since I was a teenager in my '59 Chevy 2 door with a 283 and Hurst on the floor. The car handles like a sports car, fuel economy is great and it's like a new toy with the stick shift!! My wife was a bit trepiditious at first but quickly adapted to the trans and loves it, she thinks she's Dale Earnhart (the car is black). The 2.0 liter engine is amazing, scoots right along thru the gears (I doubt it would be as much fun as an auto trams). We drive to Maine frequently and our first time out with the Dart we got 37 MPG with a new engine. I am impressed and very happy with it.

In Colorado, the push has been on for years to have Colorado National Monument redesignated as Colorado National Park. A similar movement has been simmering at Golden Gate National Recreation Area in California, been mentioned at Cedar Breaks National Monument in Utah, and actually succeeded at the newly named Pinnacles National Park in California.
All in the name of boosting tourism and boosting economies.
But in Missouri, a brash congressman believes tourism, economic activity, and recreational access would best be served by turning Ozark National Scenic Riverways into Ozark "State" Scenic Riverways, or something similar.
Rep. Jason Smith fears access to the National Riverways in his congressional district, Missouri's 8th, would be harmed by a National Park Service management plan that would do away with 65 miles of unauthorized horse trails (while adding 35 miles of new trails to the currently approved 23 miles) and place some limits on motorboat usage, among other things.
The Republican last week introduced an amendment, which the House adopted, to prevent the Park Service from tinkering with motorboat regs (a move that could acually backfire on him, as it would require the Park Service to stop ignoring the 60 horsepower engines on some boats and enforce the 40 HP limit already on the books) and now has introduced legislation to transfer the National Riverways to state control.
The congressman claims his action comes as a "direct response to constituent concerns." Others closer to Missouri politics claim he's just grandstanding to his Tea Party followers.
Missouri's governor, a Democrat, has endorsed the Park Service's preferred management plan for the National Riverways ("(The plan) provides the best course for continued and future enjoyment of this treasure," Gov. Jay Nixon wrote Interior Secretary Sally Jewell), though his lieutenant governor, a Republican, has opposed it. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch also has backed the Park Service.
Congressman Smith is taking an extreme position, one that, if Congress ever agreed with it, could do more harm than good for his constituents. While politicians and residents of other states see the high economic value that is carried by having a unit of the National Park System in their states, the Republican believes knocking the National Riverways down in stature would bring benefits.
"How so?" is the question of the day.
Would a Rocky Mountain "State" Park have the same cachet as a Rocky Mountain National Park? Would Shenandoah "State" Park carry the same drawing power as Shenandoah National Park (a good question, in light of efforts by some in Virginia to effect that name change)?
Would allowing the landscape around the National Riverways to be ground up by ATVs, letting high E.Coli loads in the rivers continue, and letting horsemen carve their own trails, be a recreational draw that benefits local businesses?
Regardless of whether Rep. Smith's "decommissioning" legislation gains traction in the Senate, his campaign against the Park Service already likely has done damage to tourism and economic activity along the National Riverways. Wire service stories from coast-to-coast and op-ed pieces readily visible via Google Alerts have hung out the story for all to see.
While national park visitors seek out clean waters, beautiful sceneries, and wonderful experiences, learning about the E.coli problems on the Jacks Fork and Current rivers, the 65 miles of unauthorized horse trails, canoes being overturned by rowdy individuals, and the pickup trucks parked in mid-stream can't be appealing.
Should Congress should call the congressman's bluff? Decommission Ozark National Scenic Riverways and hand it back to Missouri? And then let the state figure out how to cover the $6.4 million the Park Service now spends annually to manage the unit, its 125 employees, or the roughly $7.5 million the agency intends to spend on restoration and rehabilitation projects at Big Springs and Alley Mill?
The fact that the state already has its own funding problems likley wouldn't be helped by assuming the $32 million in deferred maintenance at Ozark National Scenic Riverways. Missouri also would find itself responsible for about 160 miles of roads, not to mention the unauthorized horse trails.
"The loss of revenue combined with the increase in operational costs if the National Riverways was just another state park would be staggering," Lynn McClure, Midwest Region director for the National Parks Conservation Association, told a Missouri legislative committee earlier this week. "The State of Missouri has debt of more than $47 billion right now, which works out to roughly $7,900 state debt for each and every citizen in the state. At a time when all state legislators are concerned about reducing debt, conveying the Ozark National Scenic Riverways to the state of Missouri would achieve exactly the opposite."
And the resulting loss of a park system unit such as Ozark National Scenic Riverways would be not only to Missouri, but to the entire nation.

The first of the Monte Carlo is now a benchmark. The MC5 brings noble values back to the heart of sailing a motor cruiser. Its design is greatly improved, combining elegance, intelligence and simplicity – a sheer triumph!
Monte Carlo: a noble demeanor, unique style, impeccable designs. Favorites at birth, the MC5 has directly inherited a legacy of winning values: the inimitable qualities expressed in the larger Monte Carlo Yachts models. It's timeless design has a strong character, with precious materials and solutions never seen before for this category. Monte Carlo's noble pedigree is immediately recognizable in the choice of name and logo, the style, technology and resources: is the natural extension of Monte Carlo Yachts' philosophy and prestige for models under 60 feet long. Expect only the very best.
Monte Carlo and Monte Carlo Yachts. These two brands embody a new, unique, original and brave promise, an idea that has already garnered supporters all over the world. It is an idea that was great from its inception, since it brings authentic value back to luxury. It is great because it is able to combine the best tradition of Italian design with the industrial know-how of the Groupe Bénéteau, whose shipyards are a universally acknowledged paragon in this sector. This challenge is already a victory, because every model offers far more than you would imagine based on its size. After all, size is not what defines luxury.

What Is a Semi-Happy Marriage?
There is a new book entitled "Marriage Confidential" where you can find out what to do if you're in a kinda boring but not a miserable marriage. It's safe to say that you've seen or know of a couple where the term 'semi-happy marriage' describes them to a tee. Or perhaps it's your marriage?
Semi-happy couples should be happy according to the book. But is that happiness just on paper or in real life? In a survey for the book, "Marriage Confidential,"
30% agreed that "most marriages I see around me aren't really happy or unhappy." 40% agreed, "most marriages that I see aren't really that happy." Marriage scholars distinguish between the types of marriage that end in divorce. They've estimated that a majority of divorces — anywhere from 55 to 65% — hail from the ranks of the "low-conflict," low-stress, amiable but listless marriage. The majority don't come from couples who throw dishes and scream at each other. Where the high-conflict, troubled marriage explodes, the low-conflict marriage implodes.
Wow, so it appears that the semi-happy marriage is more likely to end in divorce than the explosive one. Do you worry about divorce? Have you fantasizing about moving? Do you have conversations with yourself about expecting more from your marriage? You may be in a semi-happy marriage that works efficiently, where you get along reasonably, but one or both members may find the marriage lacking in serious ways. Some may tell you that this situation could use marriage counseling. If you need assistance, try The Marriage Couching Center in New Hartford. They can be reached at (315) 520-3388.

And while that might seem odd in a state where newspapers tally how many athletes come from Missoula versus Bozeman, head men's tennis coach Mike Phillips says it's common for universities to have such a diverse tennis line-up.
"Tennis is a world sport," said Phillips, adding that many Division I teams see 60 to 70 percent of their players come from outside the U.S.
Phillips said his first priority is recruiting players from Montana and the Intermountain West. However, he added, many American players want to go someplace warm. For instance, Phillips said, a top player might rather play No. 8 at the University of Southern California than play No. 1 or No. 2 at MSU.
"But if they come to visit, they fall in love with Bozeman," Phillips said.
Such a visit is a luxury unknown to most of the current international Bobcats, many of whom chose MSU sight unseen. Some have a friend or former teammate who played for the 'Cats; others worked with a recruiting agent who recommends schools; others simply emailed out of the blue, as did Charlotta Hjalmarsson of Karlskrona, Sweden. Hjalmarsson, a junior, contacted American schools that interested her, and ending up connecting with MSU women's coach Denise Albrecht, who eventually invited her to join the team.
"Since I was a little girl, I wanted to come to the U.S. to play college tennis," said Hjalmarsson, adding that MSU's reputation and outdoor opportunities helped solidify her decision.
Hjalmarsson said the first few days at MSU required some adjustments, such as sharing a dorm room with a stranger who spoke a different language. But, she said, being part of the tennis team eased the transition.
"Denise is a great help keeping everyone together and to make us all feel comfortable," Hjalmarsson said. "Her door is always open for us, and she always wants the best for the team. We have a lot of fun together."
Prithiv Sivasubramaniam, a sophomore on the men's team from the tropical state of Tamil Nadu, India, agreed that the team camaraderie made for a fairly easy transition. "P," as teammates call him, had traveled throughout the world but had never been to the U.S. when he first set foot in Bozeman in fall 2009. Sivasubramaniam learned about MSU from a friend from India who played MSU tennis a few years back.
"He sent a few pictures of the university and Bozeman, and that kind of took my mind off all the other universities," Sivasubramaniam said. "Bozeman was a good fit for me."
Though Sivasubramaniam had never lived in a snowy climate, he said he settled in comfortably at MSU and appreciates how fun and interactive his business management classes are. Key to success, he said, are friendships from both the men's and women's teams.
"Everyone gets along very well," he said. "Everyone's really helpful if you're struggling on or off the court. Practice is the best part of the day."
Sophomore Wena Tsan is also a long way from home, having come to MSU from Kuching, Malaysia, on the recommendation of her sister, who played tennis for Sacramento State.
"My sister said the head coach (Denise Albrecht) seems like a super nice person...and she was right," Tsan said.
Tsan admitted she was a bit overwhelmed upon landing in Bozeman last fall. Her home city has a population of more than a half-million. But Tsan said she quickly fell in love with Bozeman and the friendliness of MSU staff, students and even strangers.
"I've traveled around the States quite a bit, and I have never come across people nicer than here in the Bozeman community," she said.
The real key, though, Tsan said, was the tennis team and coaches. "We may be from different parts of the world with different cultures and backgrounds, but the Bobcat tennis team is more than a team--it is a family," she said. "This is like our second home. We care about each other and we fulfill each others' needs."
Alberto Fuentes, of Mexico City, echoed similar statements.
Fuentes learned about MSU from former Bobcat Federico Ueltschi, who met Fuentes in Mexico and encouraged him to check out MSU.
Fuentes said "the enthusiasm, positivity and encouragement" from Mike Phillips made MSU an easy decision, one that he's never regretted. "I see each one (of my teammates) as brothers," said Fuentes. "When I'm with them, I feel no difference on where each one of us is from."
Fuentes said Phillips along with Phillips' wife, Ginger, who assists in coaching the women's team, have opened their hearts and home to the teams.
"Mike does a great job bringing the team together and making us feel as family," he said. Fuentes added that because tennis is such an international sport, each current Bobcat has experience playing with people from other countries, thus making first impressions less shocking.
The team camaraderie has worked well for Bobcat tennis: the men's team won three consecutive Big Sky Conference titles (2004-2006) behind the leadership of international players such as Ueltschi, originally from Argentina, and Marek Gebicki of Poland.
But Phillips is just as proud of his team's academic achievements. Gebicki was an Academic All-American with a 3.99 grade-point average in industrial engineering, and Ueltschi was a three-time Big Sky Conference MVP. Last spring, graduating senior Esteban Ferrero of Colombia won a prestigious NCAA post-graduate fellowship, as well as scholarships from the Lambda Alpha national honor society for anthropology majors and from the Phi Kappa Phi national honor society. Phillips says his team is consistently among MSU's top teams for average GPA, currently about a 3.5.
Phillips said that, even though Montana is several thousand miles away from home for many Bobcat players, transitions are easier because so many international players have traveled widely and are accustomed to being away from home. Albrecht added that recruiting international students does take a little longer, and that the coaching staff must rely on phone calls and emails to get to know each athlete. Albrecht said speaking with the players' parents also helps fill in the gaps.
The athletes and coaches on the Bobcat tennis teams insist that playing with such diverse teammates is simply no big deal.
"I love how the team comes together," said Phillips. "Including the players and coaches, there's nine different backgrounds, nine religions, and five languages. The guys are incredibly accepting and respectful of each other. They work toward a common goal, and come together as a family."
Fuentes agreed: "In spite of the different personalities, languages and cultural backgrounds, we all have the same mentality, language and passion in the courts, which makes us fit perfectly as a team," he said.
Sivasubramaniam concurs.
"We communicate through tennis, so (cultural differences) don't matter," he said. "Tennis is our language."

London, United Kingdom, 2013/11/06 - Reports Published in Conjunction with the Expo Telecom event in Costa Rica- TechNavio.com.
In conjunction with the Expo Telecom event happening in Costa Rica this week, TechNavio a leading technology research and advisory company shared its market research insights for its various reports:

LTE Market in US
Global Public Safety LTE Market.
Speaking on this subject, TechNavios senior analyst and co-author of the Telecom & Networking reports commented,Several drivers are aiding the growth of this market which includes rising number of mobile data, emergence of LTE-A base stations, increasing subscriber base and network expansions, high cost of fixed-line deployments, nationwide interoperability of LTE and demand for enhanced effectiveness of public safety operations.
He went on to add that over the past couple of years, LTE technology has been receiving huge acceptance around the globe because of one-of-a-kind data applications in both commercial and private communications networks, and the same trend is expected to continue during the forecast period 2012-2016.
The full versions of the reports within the Telecom & Networking series cover the main driving factors, challenges, and future trends of this market, also giving analysis on product segmentations, vendor shares, growth rate by revenue, and an evaluation of the different buying criteria in order of importance.
After closely tracking the LTE Market in US, TechNavio analysts have forecasted the market to grow to US$ 7.38 billion by 2016 growing at a 45 percent CAGR for the period 2012-2016.
With the increased adoption of LTE-enabled devices, the demand for LTE is increasing significantly. In turn, this has increased demand for higher bandwidth, which will drive the LTE market in the US in the coming years.
Globally, the market has some unique characteristics. Vendor competition is based on performance, innovation, product features, quality, low cost, selling price, distribution and financial stability. In addition, vendors' products are highly technology-centric. Therefore, to remain competitive in the market, vendors not only have to develop new technologies but also have to keep abreast of the emerging technologies that could have an impact on their product lines.
Some of the leading players in this market include players like Airvana, Alcatel-Lucent, Cisco Systems, Ericsson, Huawei Technologies, NEC, Nokia Solutions and Networks, Samsung Electronics, AT&T, Verizon Wireless, General Dynamics Broadband, Harris, Motorola Solutions, and Raytheon.
As international players are increasing their footprints, local vendors are finding it difficult in competing with them, especially on the quality features, price, and performance. The competitive business environment in this market will be intensifying with the increase in product extensions and technological innovations.

The biggest impact I observed from insulating the boiler was the basement temperature...it is about 5 degrees cooler. Hopefully that reduces the AC load on the first floor.

locust bean gum (generic name)
treats Diarrhea in children, Gastroesophageal reflux disease, and Hypercholesterolemia

Alternate TitleCeratonia siliqua
CategoryHerbs & Supplements

Carob (Ceratonia siliqua) is a leguminous evergreen tree of the family Leguminosae (pulse family). Although it was originally native to Mediterranean regions, it is now cultivated in many warm climates, including Florida and California. The pods may be ground into a flour, which is often used as a cocoa substitute because it has a somewhat similar taste to chocolate and one-third the calories.
Carob has been used to treat infantile diarrhea and carob bean gum has been used to control hyperlipidemia (high cholesterol) and as a dietary adjunct to elevated plasma cholesterol management.
There is conflicting data on the effect of carob bean gum as a formula thickener and its effect on regurgitation frequency. The use of soluble dietary fibers, such as carob bean gum, has been shown to alter food structure, texture and viscosity, the rate of starch degradation during digestion, and the regulation of postprandial blood sugar and insulin levels.
As a food, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has given carob generally recognized as safe (GRAS) status.
EvidenceDISCLAIMER: These uses have been tested in humans or animals. Safety and effectiveness have not always been proven. Some of these conditions are potentially serious, and should be evaluated by a qualified healthcare provider.
Hypercholesterolemia (high cholesterol):
Fiber, such as oat fiber, has been shown to reduce serum cholesterol levels. Carob pod fiber or carob bean gum may also have this ability, although additional research is needed to confirm these findings.
Diarrhea in children:
Traditionally, carob has been used for the treatment of gastrointestinal conditions, especially diarrhea. Preliminary study used different types of carob products as an adjunct to oral rehydrating solution and showed promising results. Additional study is needed in this area.
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (in infants):
Locust bean gum is a common food thickener and may prove helpful in infantile gastroesophageal reflux. However, additional study is needed in this area.
TraditionWARNING: DISCLAIMER: The below uses are based on tradition, scientific theories, or limited research. They often have not been thoroughly tested in humans, and safety and effectiveness have not always been proven. Some of these conditions are potentially serious, and should be evaluated by a qualified healthcare provider. There may be other proposed uses that are not listed below.
Anthelmintic (expels worms), antioxidant, antiviral, cancer, celiac disease, cough (retching, in infants), demulcent (soothing agent), diabetes, diarrhea (in adults), digestive disorders, dyspepsia (upset stomach), eye infections, flavoring agent, food uses, improve eyesight, laxative, nausea and vomiting during pregnancy, nutritional deficiencies, obesity, stomach pain, vomiting (in infants).
Adults (18 years and older)
There is no proven safe or effective dose for carob. Traditionally, 20 grams carob daily with plenty of water has been used. As a powder, 20-30 grams added to water, tea, or milk taken once daily has also been used.
Children (younger than 18 years)
There is no proven safe or effective dose for carob in children, and use is not recommended.

JERUSALEM (Aug. 5)
John Demjanjuk, into his second week of testimony in his own defense, is plainly not going to be broken by the prosecution in one sudden collapse of his alibi. Rather, as the long court sessions proceed, it seems clear that State Attorney Yona Blattman and his able assistant, Michael Shaked, hope to chip away at the accused man's story, bit by painstaking bit, and in this way cause it to crumble eventually in the eyes of the three-judge Jerusalem court.
The court for its part is watching attentively to see whether the prosecution's cumulative assault will undermine the defendant, or whether, after his gruelling weeks in the witness box, Demjanjuk can emerge with his story, though bruised and buffeted, still sufficiently intact to avoid a conviction.
On Tuesday, Judge Dov Levin gravely and repeatedly warned Demjanjuk that he was undertaking a "grave responsibility" by not giving direct answers to the prosecutor.
The questions, though seemingly technical, were key to his wartime alibi. They focused on his admittedly false entries on his U.S. immigration application, submitted at a displaced persons camp after World War II. The defendant had written that he spent the war years as a farmer in Poland in the village of Sobibor.
Questioned about the actual process of filling out that form, Demjanjuk seemed to be avoiding answering, incurring Levin's wrath. "We will take that into account" Levin thundered.
Demjanjuk says he lied to Americans in order to avoid being repatriated to the USSR. The prosecution says he lied in order to conceal his true identity — Ivan the Terrible, butcher of Treblinka.
His claim to have lived outside Russia prior to and during the war, Demjanjuk says, left the Americans no reason to suspect him of membership in the Red Army, even though he was of conscription age at the start of the war.
In fact, he says, he did serve in the Red Army. He claims to have feared repatriation because of his alleged membership in the turncoat Vlasov army, a Russian POW division that fought on the German side. In Russia he would have been considered a traitor and would have been executed.
Demjanjuk's lie may have been understandable in the circumstances, Shaked conceded, but why did he choose the town Sobibor as his false residence in Poland? Why not choose a place he claims to have been familiar with, such as Rowno, the POW camp in Poland where he spent two weeks, or Chelm, where he claims to have been imprisoned 18 months?
The prosecution places Demjanjuk at the Treblinka death camp during that 18 month period, where he is accused of driving hundreds of thousands of Jews to their deaths in the gas chamber.
Demjanjuk claims his choice of Sobibor was arbitrary. Aided by a helpful friend at the DP camp, he says he picked any Polish town that came to mind. But he insisted — repeatedly during this week's proceedings — that he had never actually been in Sobibor (nor in Treblinka).
But Sobibor was an unfortunate choice if it really was arbitrary as the defendant claims, for the town of Sobibor hosted another notorious concentration camp. And Sobibor is also mentioned on the defendant's alleged SS identity card, as the camp he was sent to on completion of his SS guard training at Trawniki.
Demjanjuk maintains that the card, a central piece of evidence in the case, is a KGB forgery as the Soviet Union's revenge against him.
But perhaps, Shaked pressed on, Demjanjuk chose the town of Sobibor because he was indeed familiar with it — it being fairly close to Treblinka — and because he preferred for obvious reasons not to cite Treblinka itself.
Demjanjuk replied that the friend had suggested Sobibor because it had a substantial Ukrainian population.
Contradicting his previous testimony, he does not now claim that Sobibor was a misspelling on his U.S. immigration form, and that the town in fact chosen was Sambor. He now says that only years later in the U.S, possibly after proceedings against him had begun, he tried to find Sobibor on a map. When he was unable to find it he presumed that the choice must have been Sambor.
To press his point home further, Shaked referred to the case of Feodor Fedorenko, a convicted Treblinka guard recently executed in the USSR, whose history allegedly followed similar lines to Demjanjuk's. Fedorenko, also a Ukrainian, had, like the defendant, been imprisoned at Rowno and then at Chelm. But he admitted being recruited there by the SS.
Fedorenko was posted to Treblinka and later to another camp at Pelitz. He had used the town of Pelitz as his false residence on his U.S immigration application. Obviously he had thought it wiser to name Pelitz rather than Treblinka.
At this reference to Fedorenko, Demjanjuk repeated the phrase that has cropped up again and again during his cross-examination: "I was never at Treblinka nor at Sobibor."
The defense team, meanwhile, is soon to be strengthened by a Canadian attorney, a Queen's counsel from Toronto, who speaks Ukrainian.
Paul Chumak, 42 years old, who has served as a public prosecutor for the province of Ontario, is already attending the daily sessions, listening to the translation from a place in the public section. But he is expected to be granted soon the necessary license to practice temporarily in Israel — and will join Yoram Sheftel and John Gill as Demjanjuk's defense team.
Demjanjuk's son, John Jr., told reporters this week that the family had paid some $600,000 over the past five years to attorney Mark O'Connor, of Buffalo, N.Y., whom the defendant dismissed as his lead attorney earlier this month.

Mercedes-Benz 1993-2000 C-Class: 2nd Generation
The W202 Series
Mercedes-Benz officially referred to the C-Class in a sedan that
debuted in 1993. The Mercedes-Benz C-Class sedans carried the body
structure and exterior dimensions of the 190 but were built with a more
comfortable and larger interior. This new C-Class carried on the
nickname of "Baby Benz" as it was still the smallest of the
Mercedes-Benz line of automobiles – until the introduction of the
A-Class Supermini in 1997.
The W202 Series C-Class was manufactured until the year 2000 when it
was replaced by the W203 Series; as the decade progressed, so did the
W202 Series.
Slightly larger than the 190, the new Mercedes-Benz C-Class was offered
either as a four-door sedan or a five-door station wagon. The engine
options of the new gasoline with Roots supercharger, or diesel powered
with common-rail injection, C-Class were 1.8, 2.0, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5,
2.8, 3.6, 4.3 or 5.4 liters with 8, 16, 18, 20, 24 or 32 Volts and 74
to 342 hp.
The transmission options were four-speed automatic or five-speed
automatic or manual. Instead of the Inline 4L or 6L, Mercedes-Benz
installed the cylinders with the traditional V configurations and
offered S4, S5, S6, V6 or V8. The turbo-diesel version integrated
four-valve technology and the V6 gasoline engine offered three-valve
technology and dual ignition.
The U.S. version of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class differed from the
European models due to a third spotlight and sidelights on the front
turn signals. The U.S. models also had no specific trim levels.
Mercedes-Benz continued its attention to safety with the W202 Series,
offering drivers an airbag, anti-lock braking system, and the now
standard seatbelt tensioners – traction control was considered an
additional option.
The Mercedes-Benz W202 Series was assembled in Brazil, Egypt, South Africa, and the two plants in Germany.

Community shows support for 10-year-old Raleigh girl with rare disease
Posted March 5, 2015
Updated March 6, 2015
Raleigh, N.C. — A community is coming together to support a 10-year-old Raleigh girl who was diagnosed with a rare disease.
Despite being diagnosed with aplastic anemia, Liviya Anderson keeps a positive outlook.
The 5th annual Mom Prom fundraiser will be held Saturday at the Wakefield Plantation.
A friend of Anderson's mother started the event as a girls' night out to raise money for her treatments, and it has evolved into a must-get ticket.
In the first year, the Mom Prom raised money for Beads of Courage, a program where critically ill children earn beads to represent different stages in their treatment. Liviya took part in the program while she was treated at UNC Children's Hospital. The event raised money for the sibling program where kids with a seriously ill brother or sister earn beads for their own sacrifices and hurdles.
Now, the event raises money for both Beads of Courage and aplastic anemia research.

Zero Cheers for State Capitalism?
(This is Part 1 of a review of Ian Bremmer, The End of the Free Market: Who Wins the War Between States and Corporations? (Portfolio, 2010).)
Ian Bremmer's The End of the Free Market is already one of the most celebrated nonfiction books of 2010. Reviewed worldwide, the book has been praised in many quarters. Bremmer's deep knowledge of world political economy is evident throughout this work. Yet the book's case for "free market" as opposed to "state" capitalism relies on generalizations that are too gross to capture the real fault lines in globalization. If we are lucky, Bremmer's work will encourage American policymakers to compare their own interventions in the economy with those of "state capitalist" regimes like China, and to copy best practices. If we are unlucky, its ideas could lead to economic stagnation in "free market" havens and new tensions between the U.S. and China.
For Bremmer, "state capitalism" denotes a level of government control of the market that is less dirigiste than a "command economy," but more heavy-handed than the social market institutions of Europe. Countries become more state capitalist when their "government[s] play the role of lead economic actor," moving to the left along a spectrum ranging from communism to libertarianism. They move "right" when the government lets businesses make decisions for "commercial reasons" rather than trying to encourage them to meet political goals.
On this view, moving rightward toward non-intervention is usually advisable, provided some baseline of regulation and sound business culture prevails. Bremmer admits this is a "profoundly simplistic model" (44), and perhaps in penance he explicitly condemns "utopian libertarianism" when he introduces it, declaring that "any argument that the state should remove itself entirely from the marketplace is absurd" (153). He laments the fact that theories of "shareholder value" have led "CEOs and company management [in free market capitalist countries to] become obsessed with maximizing quarterly profits at the expense of investment in a sound long-term growth strategy" (152). To his credit, he explains the recent financial crises in the US as the product of a few decades of deregulatory dogma, and not merely aberrational.
For Bremmer, the leading state capitalist regime is China (128). Even after the bank bailout, the auto bailout, and health care reform, he sees the US as largely on the "right" side of the state-capitalism/free-market continuum. China, however, engages in all the sins of state capitalism:
[To] sustain high growth . . . Chinese companies, backed with every advantage the state can provide, must venture out into the world to lock down long-term access to the crude oil, natural gas, metals, minerals, and other commodities needed to fuel a still-vulnerable developing economy. . . . [T]he National Development and Reform Commission. . . guides macroeconomic planning and intervenes in markets, particularly by setting prices for many products and by influencing national oil companies and other state-owned enterprises [SOEs].
Bremmer describes the advantages of Chinese energy companies over "free market" competitors like BP and Shell, and complains that state subsidies to them "add[] upward pressure on the prices that everyone else pays for energy and other commodities" (136). He also notes that China may be "actively cornering the market" in the types of rare-earth minerals that will be essential to advanced green energy and computer technology (137). Finally, China is capable of funding these projects via sovereign wealth funds (SWFs) that invest with political goals in mind. For example, one SWF purchased Costa Rican bonds in exchange for Costa Rica's termination of diplomatic recognition of Taiwan. In addition to discussing China and Russia in some detail, Bremmer offers whirlwind tours Middle Eastern, Central Asian, and South American forays into state capitalism.
After describing state capitalism, Bremmer makes a sustained argument about its dangers that boils down to three propositions:
1) China and other state capitalist regimes experience more government intervention than free market regimes like the US.
2) This intervention is harmful because it causes business enterprises to act politically rather than as sustainably profit-maximizing entities. State-owned or "national champion" firms may try to destabilize the U.S. and other political rivals.
3) In response, free market nations should recognize that "the private sector is the only reliable long-term engine of robust and sustainable growth" (186), and should promote free trade and freely accept foreign investment. The US in particular should "keep investing in hard power" so its military can "ensure the free flow of oil and gas supplies" from potentially unstable regions like the Mideast.
The first two descriptive points are disputable, and Bremmer's prescriptions are troubling given trends in global resource flows. I'll discuss each of these points in the coming week, in a series of posts on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. On Thursday, I'll conclude with a discussion of alternate politico-economic models.

Another Olympian expelled for tweet
By KAROLOS GROHMANN, Reuters
South Koreas Yun Suk-young (L) fights for the ball with Switzerlands Michel Morganella during their mens Group B football match in the London 2012 Olympic Games at the City of Coventry stadium July 29, 2012. REUTERS/Alessandro Garofalo
LONDON - Swiss soccer player Michel Morganella was expelled from the London Olympics on Monday for sending a message that the Swiss team said gravely insulted and violated the dignity of South Korea after his teams 2-1 defeat by the Koreans a day earlier.
As a member of the Swiss Olympic mission he gravely discriminated, insulted and violated the dignity of the South Korean football team and the South Korean people, Swiss team chief Gian Gilli told reporters.
The 23-year-old is the second athlete to be expelled over a racist Twitter comment.
Greek triple jumper Paraskevi Papachristou was thrown out of her nations team last week, two days before the Games start.
In the message, with some syllables jumbled, for which he was expelled, Morganella said on Monday morning: I punch you, South Koreans, go burn... The rest of the message was considered sufficiently offensive by the Swiss team for Morganella to be sent home.
Gilli, who only read out a statement in German and did not take any questions, said Morganellas comments were in direct violation of the International Olympic Committees and the Swiss teams ethics codes.
As a consequence of this behaviour Michel Morganella, having conferred with the Swiss Football Association, is immediately stripped of his Olympic accreditation and all future participation in the Olympic tournament.
The Swiss team will now focus entirely on the next match. I wish the team inner peace and serenity, Gilli said.
The player himself said he accepted the sanction and apologised.
I made a huge mistake after the disappointing result. I wish to apologise to the people in South Korea and their team, but also to the Swiss delegation and Swiss football in general. I obviously accept the consequences for my actions.
The Swiss, third in Group B, play Mexico in their next on Aug.1 which is also Switzerlands national day.
The London Games are the first Olympics where social media are so widespread and the International Olympic Committee has urged athletes to tweet but always respecting the Games ethics code which all teams and athletes have signed.
