A new report by the National Resources Defense Council (NRDC) has found that Ohio had the second worst toxic air pollution from power plants in the United States in 2010.
The report showed Ohio had more toxic air pollution from power plants than neighbors Pennsylvania and Indiana, but it had less toxic air pollution than Kentucky.
Linda Soros, spokesperson for the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), says the results are reflective of Ohio being a "coal state" and a "highly industrialized state."
The report had some positive news. It found that all air toxics emitted from power plants had dropped by 19 percent in 2010 compared to 2009 levels. The report partly attributes this drop to natural gas, which is cleaner than coal and has become cheaper than coal thanks to the massive fracking boom in Ohio and other states. Power plants have also been installing "state-of-the-art pollution controls" in anticipation of new regulations from the national EPA, bringing down air toxics further, according to the report.
Some of the new regulations will come from the EPA's Mercury and Air Toxics standards, which were finalized in 2011. The standards will cut mercury air pollution by 79 percent from 2010 levels starting in 2015, according to the report. Sulfur dioxide will also be reduced by 63 percent under the new rules, and hydrochloric acid will be reduced by 95 percent.
The report says these cuts in toxic pollution will help deal with the many health problems caused by air pollution, including asthma, heart disease and chronic bronchitis.
The report used the EPA's Toxic Release Inventory — a national database for toxic emissions that are self-reported by industrial sources — for its analysis. The full report can be read here.
The report comes at a time when coal is in the middle of the national political arena. President Barack Obama has been running a radio spot in Ohio
praising the state for its growing coal use. The ad said Obama has always
supported the fabled "clean coal," much to the dismay of
environmentalists that typically side with the president over his
opponents. The ad also criticized opponent and then-Gov. Mitt Romney for
claiming a Massachusetts coal power plant "kills people" in 2003.
Without much fanfare
but with supporters looking on in the Losantiville Room in Union Terminal,
Cincinnati City Council passed an ordinance on Wednesday banning the injection of
wastewater underground within city limits.
"I'm proud to be on the first City Council to ban injection wells," said Councilwoman Laure Quinlivan, who submitted the ordinance to council.
"I want to give props to the solicitors … who have come up with a very unusual thing in City Council — a one page ordinance."
The ordinance, which passed unanimously after being voted out of committee on Tuesday, is aimed at preventing the injection of wastewater from hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, under Cincinnati. Its injection has been linked to a dozen earthquakes in northern Ohio.
Opponents also worry that the chemicals in the water, which is used to drill underground to free up gas and oil, can seep into drinking water. Oil and gas companies aren't required to disclose which chemicals they use.
It's unclear if the city's ban on wastewater injection would hold up against a 2004 state law that gives the state of Ohio sole power in regulating oil and gas drilling. That regulatory power also extends to Class 2 injection wells.
At a news conference earlier in the day, Quinlivan cited a ProPublica story that said between 2007 and 2010, one well integrity violation was filed for every six wastewater injection wells.
She says data like this makes it clear injection wells are
too dangerous.
Food and Water Watch organizer Alison Auciello spoke in
support of the City Council ordinance at the news conference.
"We're pleased City Council has moved swiftly for the protection of its citizens," Auciello said.
The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) has received no injection well permit requests for southwestern Ohio, but Auciello says the legislation is a good preventive measure.
Heidi Hetzel-Evans, a spokesperson for ODNR, says it wouldn't be feasible to build injection wells in southwestern Ohio due to the region's geology.
"It's safe to say oil and gas drilling has no direct impact on southwestern Ohio," Hetzel-Evans says.
Auciello says more bans like the Cincinnati ordinance are necessary in Ohio. She says she's concerned that Ohio is being turned into a dumping ground as massive amounts of wastewater from Pennsylvania are brought to Ohio due to a lack of regulation.
Auciello also echoed calls from environmental groups to ban fracking in Ohio. However, fracking supporters — including Gov. John Kasich — insist the process can be made safe with proper regulations.
This story was updated to reflect City Council's afternoon vote.
Mayor Mark Mallory and local attorney Stan Chesley announced in a press release that they will be speaking later today about the city's pool season. The unusually hot summer has sparked some calls that the city should keep pools open for longer, and it looks like the mayor may be ready to meet demands. Mallory and Chesley will make their announcement at 1 p.m.
City Council moved to ban wastewater injection wells, which are used to dispose wastewater that is produced during fracking, within city limits. Studies have linked the injection wells to earthquakes, including a series of tremors felt in Youngstown, Ohio around New Year's Eve.

Nobody stood up for fracking in today's City Council committee meeting that saw dozens of people urge council to pass an ordinance banning injection wells within Cincinnati.
All members of the Strategic Growth Committee voted in favor of the proposed ordinance, with the exception of Councilman Chris Seelbach, who was recovering after allegedly being assaulted in downtown Monday night.
If approved, the ordinance would prohibit injections wells — which inject wastewater underground — from being allowed within city limits. It now goes before the full council.
The practice is commonly associated with hydraulic fracturing – or "fracking" — which uses chemical-laced water to drill for oil and gas. Fracking fluid injected underground has been tied to a dozen earthquakes in northeastern Ohio.
A 2004 Ohio law puts regulation of oil and gas drilling under the state's purview, preventing municipalities from regulating the drilling.
The wording of the proposed Cincinnati ordinance doesn't mention oil or gas drilling, which proponents say they hope will keep it from clashing with the state law if it passes.
Ohio Department of Natural Resources spokeswoman Heidi Hetzel-Evans tells CityBeat that injection wells also fall under ODNR's purview.
She says she isn't sure if the proposed Cincinnati ordinance would conflict with the state law.
"It's very hard for ODNR to speculate on what might happen," she says, adding that there aren't any injection wells or applications for them in the Cincinnati area. "This may not be an issue that's ever tested."
That didn't stop the dozens of people who spoke in favor of the ordinance at the committee meeting from erupting into applause once the ordinance was approved.
Barbara Wolf, a documentarian who has made a video about Cincinnati's Water Works, said that the city has some of the cleanest water in the world, and chemicals from hydraulic fracturing could jeopardize that.
"We are studied by other countries," Wolf said. "If it (fracking fluid) goes into the Ohio River, we don't know what the chemicals are. It's very hard to clean up chemicals if you don't know what they are. And that's one of the things we do really well: clean up chemicals."
A performance audit for the Cincinnati Service Department
could save the city $3.7 million. The audit claims $2 million could be
saved every year if the city privately contracted solid waste collection
and street sweeping. An additional $1.7 million could be saved if the
city reduced overtime, sick leave and staffing levels. Along with other recommended savings measures, the changes could
amount to 7.9 percent of Cincinnati's budget.

I have given much thought to Richard Stoecker's letter ("Vote for Mormon against beliefs," June 15). I am also a Christian and differ with the Mormon religion.
But I think any Christian should spend much time in prayer before refusing to vote for a family man with high morals, business experience, who is against abortion, and shares Christian conviction concerning homosexuality just because he is a Mormon.
Any Christian who does not vote or writes in a name is casting a vote for Romney's opponent, Barack Hussein Obama — a man who sat in Jeremiah Wright's church for years, did not hold a public ceremony to mark the National Day of Prayer, and is a liberal who supports the killing of unborn babies and same-sex marriage.
I hope all Christians give their vote prayerful consideration because voting is a sacred privilege and a serious responsibility.

The George W. Bush Presidential Library denied a request by a Democratic super PAC for documents related to Sen. Rob Portman's work in the George W. Bush administration.

The super PAC, American Bridge 21st Century, has been researching GOP candidates as Mitt Romney moves closer to choosing a running mate.
"When you look at the roster of V.P. candidates, each of them is significantly flawed," American Bridge senior adviser Ty Matsdorf said in a statement. "For Portman, it is his calamitous record on fiscal issues while working at the Bush White House. It shouldn't be a shock that he is going to want to keep that under wraps for as long as possible, but unfortunately it's pretty hard to hide a record as terrible as that."

I built Find Friends Nearby with another engineer for a hackathon project. While it was originally called 'Friendshake', we settled on 'Find Friends Nearby' for launch (the URL was a little bit of a homage to the previous iteration).
For me, the ideal use case for this product is the one where when you're out with a group of people whom you've recently met and want to stay in contact with. Facebook search might be effective, or sharing your vanity addresses or business cards, but this tool provides a really easy way to exchange contact information with multiple people with minimal friction.

I would like a group of otters doing silly and cute things :3 That is all! Two or more otters, I don't mind. <3
EDIT: On second thought. I would like an otter as Iron man and another as Batman. Yes. <333
I'm just pasting from Wolf's thread last year:
What it is essentially everyone will post requests, I will include all of them in this post, after a week or two i will send everyone an email with the request they will be doing.
Even if it is the greatest piece of art you have done please don't post it anywhere that people on mt will find it.
Sometime close to Christmas (to be decided later to accommodate people going away for Christmas) I will post a thread where everyone reveals there picture and says whose it is.
If you want to take part post a request of what you would like.
-Dont make it too complicated . Not everyone taking part is going to have a ton of time to draw something insane
-Try to be specific. If you want you could even post reference pics
-If you post in here YOU ARE TAKING PART don't post here and then later say you aren't doing it. Obviously there's not much I can do to stop you, just don't
-Nothing racially/ethnically/what-have-you offensive, please.
You may ask questions regarding any of the requests in this forum and discuss them ONLY BEFORE I SEND OUT THE PMS. This way people know more about the requests and can offer opinions without people knowing whose they are doing just remember you could be doing any one of them. Please do this only before I send out the PMs telling you whose you have.
I'm adding one last thing. This thread will be open for five days only because it's already December! Please post your requests and ask your questions BEFORE 12:00am on Thursday December 6. That's 12:00am by whatever country's time you're in (I'm up late usually, so I'll be checking this thing according to US Central time--but I'm not going to be a jerk about the exact time.
(empty at the moment.)
Also, last thing. As December 25 gets close, if you're gonna be late, LET ME KNOW, because whoever hasn't posted, I'm going to get started on that art for whoever requested it. Please be kind! Let me know if you're running late!

- Changes in function of drug transporters in the kidneys alter susceptibility of patients to adverse events such as cisplatin-induced renal injury. Overexpression of the efflux transporter multidrug resistance-associated protein 2 (MRP2) has been associated with resistance to cisplatin cytotoxicity in a number of cancer cell lines. MRP2 is also expressed in rodent and human kidneys. Our hypothesis is that MRP2 is responsible for the renal excretion of cisplatin and that loss of MRP2 function increases susceptibility of the kidney to toxicity.

Listen to our conversation,
This is Ariana (pic below). She is now 10 years old, but when she was 7 she was involved in a sledding accident at Highland Park back in March of 2008. She hit a tree going 35 mph and crushed her skull. A nurse was near by and put pressure on her head to stop a brain bleed that would have killed little Ariana.
Ariana made a full recovery, but no one knows who saved her life. All she wants for Christmas is to thank the woman who saved her life and give her a hug.
If anyone knows who this person is, please contact us: email@example.com
The police never got her name. She had brown hair and is a nurse... that's literally all we have.
Thank you!
This is a picture of her shortly after the accident...

my child had similar accident
Hi my name is Patty and my son Ronnie had a simmiler accident in 1993 when he was 5 a stranger that we didnt know called 911 for us Ronnie is 23 yrs old now and has 27 metal plates in his head because he fractured every bone in his face except his nose. He was at ellison park it was even in the paper. My advice to parent is if your child wants to go sledding and there are trees nearby please wear a helmet. Thank you love your show and listen EVERYDAY When Im at work keep up the good work
Maybe it was an angel that God sent to help her. Dmhm
Brother Jason
Yor are such a tropper ariana. I pray for you to get your christmas wish.Love you my little girl! Jason
the first instinct i had when i heard this story is that the person that helped little Ariana was an angel. In some ways i hope that i'm wrong so that the family can thank this wonderful person.
What a great story
I grewe up near Highland Park on May Street, and I've sledded many of the hills. They all have names: Death Valley, Three Sisters and Eagle. Many nurses live near it as well. Good luck

Clean sweep of rejection
Bonds, Clemens get 'no' from Hall of Fame

NEW YORK (AP) — Steroid-tainted stars Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens and Sammy Sosa have been denied entry to baseball's Hall of Fame with voters failing to elect any candidates for only the second time in four decades.
Bonds received just 36.2 percent of the vote, Clemens 37.6 and Sosa 12.5 in totals announced Wednesday by the Hall and the Baseball Writers' Association of America. They were appearing on the ballot for the first time and have up to 14 more years to make it to Cooperstown.

" I really like baseball. As a fan I watch at least 100 games a season, from beginning to end. These guys and Pete Rose belong in the Hall of Fame. What they really should do is admit that standards have changed so much that all records should mostly be considered in their era. Earlier era's used stimulants and cocaine was probably still a legal pharmaceutical, baseball is so old. They should use this as a time of healing and recognize these guys and the best and make the future of the game brighter by reducing the season. Even hockey and Basketball are only about 80 games a season. 162 seems pretty monstrous. Not like the old teams that only made money from gate. With tv and ticket prices a little anticipation would fill some seats at any price. No more three dollar seats because the only way you can sell them is force them on people who want prime seats to game that would command good ratings. By playing nasty with fans, think we can't see you figured out 50K at 30 bucks is 150K but 30K at 90 bucks is 270 dollars. So you guys rack up more money by sticking fancy empty seats in tv, AND have all the good games are conveniently on school and work nights and often end around or after midnight. Nothing like passing it down to the next generation. "

But my friends decided to go to the HardRock last weekend and I had a blast with the bartender Sabrina. OMG. She remembered what all my friends and me were drinking & when we asked for another round they were ready super quick! Which is great cause I hate waiting!! She even danced a song with my brother who is in love wit her. lol. We are going back a.s.a.p.
Not what is used to be – Have been dining at different Hard Rock Cafes for OVER 15 years. Unfortunately have noticed as with any chain, each restaurant varies with the next. Additionally, each year portions get smaller and prices go up. Ate at Hollywood location last night, food was just OK, nothing spectacular. Each of us(two) had an entree, a drink and a small desert. Bill tottaled close to $100 for a mediacore meal. Great service, great surroundings but food could use improving.
Great service, good food, fun environment – The service was very nice, fast and curtoeous. The food was what you would expect, it was but was well seasoned, fresh and enjoyable, there were no surprises. But what I enjoyed the most was the fun filled environment aided by the location of the restaurant within the Hotel. Lot's going on but not too loud or distracting for your meal. When you are done eating you will be ready to explore the rest of the facility and the many entertainment options available within the Hollywood Seminole Casino Hotel.

i had an unlocked 1.0.2 phone on tuesday, it has been unlocked for over a month with unlock-fast.pxl (the 20 minute process...)
tuesday afternoon i dunno wtf i was thinking, i decided i know what im doing and updated to 1.1.1, without virginizing the phone. safe to say everything got messed up, i tried 30 different write-ups and i kept on getting the error message INVALID SIM - I honestly thought i bricked my phone
last night i used the following 2 write-ups:
a) http://www.modmyiphone.com/forums/sh...baseband+1.1.1
b) http://modmyiphone.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8968
the only difference is that ANYSIM 1.1 didnt work for me, therefore i tried my original UNCLOCK-FAST.PXL file which i initially sed last month to unlock it
i downgraded from 1.1.1 to 1.0.2 and even Downgraded iPhone BaseBand from v4.xx to v3.14 and reversed anySIM/iUnlock messups therefore i tried a shot in the dark to use UNLOCK-FAST.PXL since i was becoming desperate!
now it works, i have 1.0.2 and version 03.14.08, but my question is, CAN I SAFELY UPGRADE TO 1.1.1 or will i have the same issue again? i was told since i downgraded my baseband and virginized my phone i should be fine, but the guy that told me said he wasnt sure... phew, what a week

I think this is one of the more underrated MAC eyeshadows so I though I should do a review on it just to get it some more attention. This is probably one of the more unique eyeshadows I've ever seen and I have nothing like this, nor have I come across anything even similar. It's a mix between white and gold and has a golden/silver duochrome to it(although it's very subtle) that looks absolutely amazing placed in the inner tearduct or in the center of the lid. The texture of this eyeshadow is VERY buttery and smooth and has minimal fallout. It also makes a great browbone highlight and you could also use it as a face highlight on the nose, cheekbones, etc.
I definitely think this should be a signature MAC eyeshadow! So gorgeous, and like I said, I have not found anything even close to this color ever.

When I first got this eyeshadow I was disappointed as it didn't do much for me, but after playing around with it i realised that my first impression was so wrong!
Its great for the inner corners, and looks wonderful layered over other colours to give them a duotone effect. I've not tried this myself yet, but saw a swatch of vex over carbon, and it looks fabulous - that'll be the next look I try... :)

This is my go to shadow. I can wear it on any occasion. However, in the evening, I sometimes pair it with MAC Club to make for a more dramatic look. I recommend wearing this shadow with a liquid eyeliner because of it's frosty appearance.
I just had to write this review. I have to share with the whole world that Vex is an amazing eye shadow. Lol that's how much I LOVE IT!!! I had my reservations before I bought it as the colour looked a bit too soft in the pan (by soft I mean I was worried that it would be impossible to see it when applied, you know some of the products you buy that is hardly seen on). However, VEX has exceeded my expectations. I used with tan and without. As a wash all over lid, as a highlight, as a cheek highlight or ever as a liner at the bottom lid when I use Fascinating eye khol on the waterline. It is absolutely amazing.
I love pairing it with (obvious match) Shale in the crease but my favourite combos would include:
*1* Vex (wash all over lid - apply a few times if you want to achieve a lighter tone + use a pencil brush to go across the lower lid), Cork (crease) OR Haux (crease), Feline (liner top lid and waterline), Sketch (outer V) OR Crabon OR Smut.
*2* For the more adventurous use wash of Vex all over lid, Feline (outer V - apply as if you applied eyeshadow to approx 1/3 of the eyelid and then smudge), take blending brush and blend Vex with smudged Feline, apply Feline to a bit more inwards that outer half of lower lid, apply Vex to inner half of lower lid where you didn't apply Feline and blend the two in the very middle so they meet but there is no rough edge. Use Shale or Cork (to blend out the black so use a 217 brush or no7 blending brush to go around all of the blackness).
*3* Vex as a highlight for any look really if you dont want to go over the top but still have a bit of a shiny highlight on your browbone
*4* Vex as inner highlight
The pinkness in this colour is so beautiful that will match many many looks aas you see. Definitely my most used eyeshadow now. Enjoy!

Personally, I agree with Mac's description (on website) when it comes to describing this eyeshadow: "Beige with pink-green pearl". It is definitely a beige on my light warm complexion (approximately NC 20) and the most versatile color in my entire Mac eyeshadow collection. I actually think that this eyeshadow could be paired with ANY shade that Mac makes - it is that versatile. I only use it as an all over lid color with another color blended into the crease and outer 1/3 of lid. I think one of the tricks with Vex, since it is fairly pearly/shimmery, is to pair it with matte (or satin) eyeshadows and/or liners. This results in a much more natural and polished effect of the final eye look. Below are 3 of my favorite combinations using Vex......
Vex on lid w/ Girlie in crease - Add a matte smokey grey or chocolate liner on the
top lash line and you have ethereal perfection. Such a light and illuminating combo that
is perfect with a bright pink lip!
Vex on lid w/ Steamy in crease - I typically use a matte teal liner with this combo, but you can
also use a matte smokey grey or espresso liner. Gorgeous!
Vex on lid w/ Corduroy in crease - I always use Dip Down (matte brown gel liner) to bring
out the brown tones. Beautiful neutral look.

Vex has a beautiful subtle pink and green duochrome in a pale grey, almost white base. on my olive/tan eyelids, the green duochrome doesn't show up very well, but it shows when you look at the pan in a different angle.
It has nice texture and pigmentation and lasting power is decent like a standard quality MAC eyeshadow.
I think for my coloring, I really like to use it as an inner corner highlight and occasionally I wear just this all over lid with black liner and it looks really pretty.
I if you want to only buy a select few eyeshadows from MAC I would recommend this one as it is diffcult to find something similar.
EDIT: oh I did want to say in reference to the review below me, that my lids are actually quite dark, but this doesn't look ashy on me at all!:)
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
My NW20, pinkness, brings out the pink in this shade. I swatched it on my arm and all I could see was a pink toned pearl shade. When I tried it on with a green coat, I caught a glimpse of that. It does not come out ashy on me at all. The MUA said those with extreme yellow tones would find this skewing ashy on them. But on me, it is lovely. I wore it with Dame blush, a soft pink lippie, Coquette in the crease and Shroom in the highlight area (Vex on the lid). It really looks nice. And I am almost 40 & the frost finish is not OTT.
If you are going to only look into a few MAC eye shadows, this and Sumptuous Olive are two colors that are so much more than meets the eye and not your flat boring, "I can get these anywhere" colors.
I bought Vex months ago and didn't really give it much love... and that's because I wasn't using it the way it looks best. I tried packing it on the lid, which looked horrible and I just put it in one of my palettes and left it alone since June. I decided to try it as a wash and totally loved it. Also, Vex looks gorgeous in the inner corner -- and matches just about any look, but my favorite is with a purple smokey eye and Vex in the inner corner. Will definitely repurchase! Check out my blog for pictures:

NW10 (neutral-cool toned, very fair), gray blue eyes, Color season is True Summer, Baumann Skin Type is OSPW.
I really like Vex and have used it alot since purchasing. To me, it is a complex silver gray shimmer. I don't worry about if the duochrome shows up upon application, as I didn't purchase it having that expectation. I really enjoy using it as a highlight color for my inner eye corners, especially as a way to lighten up smokey eye looks. It is subtle and sophisticated, looks great during the day too. Much more complimentary and less harsh and dramatic looking than a true silver. I know I will wear this shadow until I hit pan, and it is a wonderful addition to my other highlight shade, MAC's Dazzlelight.
When trying to describe this lovely color, it is hard to justify its unique qualities. While reading thru some earlier reviews of this color, someone hit it right on the nail head. It reminded them of an abalone shell. That beautiful opalescent mixture of pinks, blues, greens, pearl, and touches of grey and gold. I really wish MAC would introduce some new colors that are duochrome. This color pairs beautiful with purples, blues, greens, and it can be used over a darker color to add lightness and soft shimmers. I would definitly recommend anyone to add this little gem into their collection of eyeshadows. This was one of my first ever MAC purchases and would definitely repurchase this one when its gone.

The Talking Cure
Conference participants market strategies for managing small nations' images around the world. They call it 'country branding.'
Published: Thursday, May 18, 2006
After three months, the Ukraine story went south, and remains so.
Drawing participants from advertising, marketing, government, and academe, a half-day conference at UCLA on May 12, 2006, took on the "small nation problem." Speakers asked, what does a small nation need to do in order to survive and thrive in an increasingly globalized world? And, more to the point, what does that have to do with recognizable icons like Nokia, Coca-Cola, Starbucks, and Madonna?
Robert Spich, a senior lecturer at the UCLA Anderson School of Management and organizer of the conference, is proposing that small countries can learn a lot from big business. Small countries, he said, profit greatly from "branding" themselves well.
"We don't sell countries yet," Spich said facetiously. "That may come in the future."
Judging by the array of presentations at the conference, "country branding" is a slippery notion that embraces not only government publicity campaigns meant to attract travel and investment but also the production of national images by other agents, especially news and entertainment media. Country brands may also be affected by the images of their own private and publicly-traded corporations, though perhaps only where the association between country and company is strong.
Small European countries may stand to gain from branding especially now that the European Union "has lost its central narrative," Spich said, citing a Financial Times article (subscription required), "Brand experts study EU identity crisis," that was published earlier in the week.
Erika Hoholick, an account director at the advertising firm TBWA\Chiat\Day, underlined the importance of branding this way: "If you don't create your own brand, someone else will do it for you."
Singapore, once seen as a "lovely, thriving city," is Hoholick's proverbial bad example. The brand changed in 1994, when American teenager Michael Fay was caned for vandalism, and has not fully recovered. Contrast a model from industry: with good marketing Johnson & Johnson and its Tylenol brand lived through the 1982 tampering cases in which seven consumers in Chicago died after ingesting pills that were laced with cyanide.
Dr. Maggie Daleo, senior vice president of Enterprise Ireland, an Irish government–sponsored program that invests in startup companies, talked about the importance of making sure that a country's brand is conveyed in the media. Ireland set out to change its Guinness-and-pubs image for one that stressed technological savvy and a position as a "gateway to Europe." High-ranking officials set the agenda, and various agencies, including Enterprise Ireland, worked together to disseminate information about what Ireland had to offer to the world of technology.
Hungarian Consulate Ödön Király said that investing in media is very expensive and does not have guaranteed results, but asserted that Hungary's experiments in country branding, principally the Smart Hungary investment campaign and related incentives programs that began in 2003, have been very successful. While the total cost of such a program is difficult to pinpoint because of the disparate agencies that participate, Király said that the central organizing agency, the Hungarian Investment and Trade Development Agency, costs several hundred million U.S. dollars every year to maintain.
Ukraine after the Orange Revolution of 2004 had a huge upsurge in investor interest, but lost momentum when the new government began privatizing companies without "managing the message" with the media, according to Dr. Preston Keat, research director of the Eurasia Group, a consulting firm that estimates political risk for investors. "After three months, the Ukraine story went south, and remains so," he said.
"Branding is important, but if it's not true on the ground, it doesn't go very far," Keat cautioned.
Bad for Business
Daleo noted that images of countries can change rapidly, so managing the process is a constant challenge. The 1978 film "Midnight Express," for example, chronicled an American's experience in a Turkish prison and damaged Turkey's image for years to come. By encouraging "independent" media that put forth positive images, a country can make sure that "blips" such as "Midnight Express" do not become "the whole face of the country," Daleo said.
Hoholick said that taking on or simply replacing national stereotypes can work for countries as well. When Australia's tourism commission and Australia-based Wybin/TBWA launched the Real Australia campaign—apparently the first to deviate from staid images of the outback, kangaroos, and a "once-in-a-lifetime" experience—web traffic for australia.com increased from 30,000 to 130,000 hits per day almost instantaneously, according to Hoholick.
Angeleos Pangratis, deputy head of the EU Delegation to the United States and the conference's keynote speaker, underlined the importance of EU-U.S. trade relations, particularly in California. The conference, "Comparative Country Branding: The Small Nation Problem Solution," was sponsored by the UCLA Center for European and Eurasian Studies, the UCLA Center for International Business Research, the Anderson School, and the Southern California Consortium for International Studies.

Sri Lanka: Looking for political mileage out of a colossal human tragedy?
Notes by WLUML networker Faizun Zackariya, based on her visit to the East coast (28-29-30th Dec) especially to the villages of Karativu, Sainthamaruthu, Kalmunai Kudi, Kalmunai, Pandiruppu and Maruthumanai in the Amparai district.
Sri Lanka: Women's groups appeal for an inclusive framework for disaster response
Women's rights groups who have conducted fact-finding missions in the tsunami-affected areas wish to bring to public attention serious issues concerning the safety and wellbeing of women which have not yet been addressed in relief efforts.
Sri Lanka: Tsunami report back from WLUML networkers
On 28th December, 5 members of the Muslim Women's Research and Action Forum and one observer accompanied a truck full of relief goods to Kalmunai area, located in the district of Amparai on the East Coast, to aid the relief effort for Tsunami victims.
Sri Lanka: Sri Lanka's Muslims warn of backlash
Sri Lanka's Muslims are warning of a militant backlash as increasing tension between them and the Tamil community in the east of the country fuels feelings of frustration and anger.
Sri Lanka: Sri Lanka is sliding
Sri Lankans must wonder if their patricians could ever be trusted to deliver on an opportunity to remake the country.
Sri Lanka: Violence against women in Sri Lanka
Following calls for reform of Personal Law this article focuses on certain aspects of the General Law dealing with the issue of violence against women.
Sri Lanka: Women and case of Thesawalamai
Although this article is not about Muslim laws, the issues it raises apply to women's engagement with the law and the impact of customary practices across diverse countries and communities.
Dossier 22: Communalisation of Muslims in Sri Lanka - An Historical Perspective
The objective of this paper is to provide a historical overview of the processes of communal identity formation in Sri Lanka with special reference to the Muslim community
. Sri Lanka is a multi-ethnic society in which Sinhalese, Tamils, Muslims and others have coexisted for centuries. However, in more recent times, ethnic relations on the Island have been consistently strained by the rise of communalist politics which have deepened ethnic and religious divides.
Dossier 21: Ethnic Identity, Religious Fundamentalism and Muslim Women In Sri Lanka
1. Introduction:
An attempt is made in this paper to trace the development of ethnic consciousness and religious fundamentalism among Sri Lankan Muslims and the bearings of this development on Sri Lankan Muslim women.
At the outset, I should clarify the use of the terms ethnic consciousness and fundamentalism. Both these terms are very popular and controversial in the current socio-political discourse. There are a number of definitions and disagreements about them.
Dossier 3: Memorandum submitted to the committee on proposed reforms to Muslim personal law
The Muslim's Women's Research and Action Front considers the appointment of a committee to examine Muslim Personal Law in the light of reform as a positive step in the socio-legal and cultural upliftment of the community.
MWRAF as a group of committed and concerned Muslim women wishes to suggest a basis for reforms, though we would like to reiterate the fact that our framework is within the Qur'an and Sharia and the proposed changes would in effect be implementation of not only the letter of the law but also the spirit of the law- in other words the essence of the Qur'an

Solar Powered Mole Repeller- Model #: A316
Eliminate underground rodents from your lawn and garden using the power of the sun! Say "goodbye" to moles, gophers and batteries with this revolutionary solar-powered pest repeller! This safe, humane, environmentally-friendly device produces a sonic pulse that you and your pets can barely hear, but it makes burrowing rodents run to "safer" ground away from your lawn and garden. It covers a 6,000 square foot area. During the day, it runs on the sun. At night, it's powered by an internal rechargeable NiCad solar charged battery for 24-hour-a-day protection. 12"H x 6" diameter.
AMAZING JOB ! I buy from Heartland loyally & figured that I would try this since the battery powered model i had would no longer work. After installing this in my front yard the mole issue stopped in 2-3 days and none have returned since the spring. This product surprised me and worked beyond my expectation. I'm probably gonna buy 1-2 more just to have as back up before they say NO LONGER AVAILABLE. Thanks again Heartland America ..... $$$$ well spent !!!
1/1/2012 - CMJ - Green Valley, AZ
We had little ground squirrels in the yard and also had mice getting down into the flat roof which has space between ceiling and roof. We put one of these on the roof in a clay pot filled with pebbles to hold it. It worked! After years of this problem, it is now gone. Also worked very fast to get rid of the yard rodents. It seems that we no longer have pack rats getting into our car engines stripping the wires and hoses. Well worth the price. Wish I had gotten them sooner.
9/8/2011 - SAY - Kent, OH
I highly recommend this product. Within a matter of days, the mole holes appeared to stop messing up my yard! I was so pleased that I purchased 2 more!
7/11/2011 - DWB - Lebanon, IN
We tried everything to rid my mother's back yard of moles including a couple of similar smaller soler powered units. She ordered one of these and I installed it this spring. To protect it from the lawn mower, we surrounded it with a ring of landscape stones. This is the first time we haven't had any mole tracks what-so-ever in the backyard. Great product!
5/17/2011 - JWS - Pasadena, MD
Worked in two days, even the squirrels don't like the faint buzzing sound and left the bird feeder alone. Just ordered a second one for the front yard. The quality is much better than the ones I saw in the stores. Can't go wrong

Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors are believed to initially form in the cells in the GI tract wall. These special cells are called interstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs). These ICCs are part of the autonomic nervous system and sends signals to the gastrointestinal tract. These signals cause the digestive tract muscles to contract, therefore moving food and liquid through the digestive system.

2006 S. 320th St., Federal Way, WA | Directions 9800347.315281 -122.307547
Sun - Thurs 11:00 A.M. - 10:00 P.M.; Fri - Sat 11:00 A.M. - 11:00 P.M.
Love those cheddar bay biscuits – I can't really dis this place, I can't help but love it. But I must say, your experience overall is hit or miss. It really depends on when you go. If you go at peak time, say with anything larger than a couple, then it could be awful. Starting with an excruciating long wait. Service can feel rushed. But if you go when it's slow, then it can be great. Leisurely enjoying those cheddar bay biscuits and lobster. Ahhh, love it.
Always good. Always a good deal. – Every reviewer wants to be a professional restaurant critic. My wife and I really enjoy the Federal Way Red Lobster. The service is good, the staff friendly, the restaurant is clean, and then there is the menu.
The menu is ALWAYS good. If you want $100 seafood dishes, go a few blocks to Salty's on Redondo Beach. However, if you're a middle class American like I am, Red Lobster is perfect. They have really good seafood dishes and reasonable prices. And, for the money, you get a really good value.
They are famous for the hot cheddar biscuits (limitless), and we love their house salads with red wine vinagerette dressing. The crab alfredo, shrimp linguine, coconut shrimp...all excellent.
The quick rundown: Avoid Red Lobster: high prices, low quality food.
Last night we had dinner at Red Lobster. Big disappointment! I chose Chef's Signature Lobster and Shrimp Pasta. Good shrimp, tasteless crab, no lobster. The linguini sauce was low quality, had very little flavor. I chose this item because of the asparagus (not a lot of that) and the tomatoes. The tomatoes (little chunks) were good but, again, not a lot of them.
My wife had Ultimate Feast. The same crab claw in her dish was tasty, very good. Unlike the tasteless crab claw meat in my dish. Her shrimp and snow crab claws were tasty, except for the Walt's Favorite Shrimp, which were dry and breaded. The crab legs were small, difficult to get the meat out of. We needed scissors, had only a crab cracker, which was fairly useless on the small, supple crab legs. All in all, not worth the 26.50 we paid for that dish.
Out of 5 stars, I would assign TWO STARS. I do not plan to return to Red Lobster any time in the next five years.
Overpriced and unsatisfying food – I had a $10 coupon so I decided to try Red Lobster. The service was average, but the menu was not very interesting. I was hungry, so I tried the sirloin and shrimp. I was shocked at how small the portions were! The steak was over-cooked and dry. The shrimp was a bit small. My bill was $22 before the coupon. I gave a $4 tip so total was $16. What a rip-off even with the coupon! I was still hungry when I left! I just don't know why anyone would eat here. This will be the last time I dine at Red Lobster! I could eating at so many places for $12 and had better food...
Casual crustacean-inspired chain serves up diet-defying seafood dishes in a family-friendly environment. – In Short
Live lobsters wriggle in a tank inside this seafood emporium, where nautical-patterned booths and colorful, fish-shaped tables in the bar area add subdued touches of whimsy to the room's classy dark wood accents. The menu can be downright decadent, with starters of artichoke lobster dip, seafood fondue, and crab-stuffed mushrooms. Entrees feature lighter, grilled fare like mahi-mahi and North Atlantic sea scallops, along with signature lobster dishes, snow crab legs, and jumbo fried shrimp platters.
Worst Seafood Ever – I decided to give Red Lobster a second try, and the experience was worse than the 1st. Red Lobster is a very casual seafood joint that is most popular for crab legs and lobster tails. My last visit to Red Lobster was one of the worst restaurant experiences that I?ve had in a long long time. On a Wednesday night, the wait for a table was a half hour, so I sat at the last table available in the bar that wasn?t even cleaned yet. Fifteen minutes of sitting at a dirty table? ?where is the waiter?? I got my chance and flagged him down. Another fifteen minutes later we get our appetizers.
The table bread is more like muffins. The gumbo was lukewarm and had itty bitty pieces of seafood, I think it included shrimp?. Five minutes later, our water finally arrives. Another fifteen minutes later the ?Ultimate Feast? comes to our table. ?Skimpy? is the best word to start off the description. Tiny shrimp, tiny lobster tail, and HORRIBLE crab legs. I have never seen skimpier crab legs, and they had a texture as if they were in the back of the freezer for too long.
No checkups or drink refills by the waiter. After getting the bill, I had to flag him down again, the waiter was told to keep the change. After that he continued to ignore us, and didn?t even bring back a receipt. After we left the table, where was the waiter? He walked by our table to pickup the tip that he did not deserve.
The food and service is simply horrible. Large groups that don?t care about a cool, classy, or romantic experience would enjoy the environment (it?s almost on the level of Denny?s). If you?re looking for good seafood then checkout Malay Satay Hut, HoHo Seafood, or Sea Garden. The CrabPot and Ivars have far better seafood than Red Lobster. This place is just a large casual restaurant with junk food and junk service.
Comparable to Old Country Buffet – Be prepared for an overpriced, mediocre at best, meal! Their broiled seafood platter was underwhelming. With this entree you can look forward to: overcooked, harden fish, scallops the size of my stud earrings (overcooked again), veggies that lack flavor, and shrimp that live up to their name (shrimpy in size). All this for a mere $13.99. Egads. I had a meal cooked by culinary students from a local high school that could dance circles around these "chefs" at Red Lobster. Save your money. If you know good quality food, you will choose another restaurant. Their saving grace was a waitress who was kind, gracious, and had a sense of humor (you'd need one to work there).

The last of three Hallandale Beach employees named in an auditors' report about a botched land purchase abruptly retired last month, according to city records.
Finance Director Patricia Ladolcetta left her $104,000 a year job on Jan. 22, the same day she submitted her retirement paperwork. She leaves with six weeks severance and three months of health insurance benefits.
Landolcetta's departure comes on the heels of the firing of Alvin Jackson Jr., executive director of the city's Community Redevelopment Agency. Jackson, who'd been with the city for two years and was paid $101,000 annually, left with a severance package of 20 weeks pay. His last day was Jan. 18.
And in June, Mark Antonio retired as the city manager after 25 years with the city. He had been making $165,000 a year and left with about $100,000 in payouts from unused sick and vacation time and his civil service payout. Antonio was forced to retire because his time was up with the Deferred Retirement Options Plan. The city's lucrative DROP program allows a public employee to "retire" while still working and earn a salary for a set period of time.
When Renee C. Miller took over as city manager in June, she requested an audit of the land deal that occurred in November 2011, saying in an Aug. 31 memo that she wanted "integrity and transparency in my operations."
The audit looked at whether the city or its Community Redevelopment Agency paid $1.2 million for 1.9-acre parcel at 416 NE Eighth Ave. from a charter school company run by former Broward County Congressman Peter Deutsch.
The review shows that the purchase was approved for by the CRA Board, but when the sale closed, the land was paid for with city funds.
The report, which came out in September 2012, named three city administrators — Antonio, Jackson and Ladolcetta — as "primarily responsible for the payment transaction." Though it says that there were "inappropriate and improper'' actions taken, the report failed to hold any of them accountable for the mistake.
Meanwhile, the Broward Inspector General Office has been looking into city dealings since last year.
Miller said through city spokesman Peter Dobens that she would not comment on personnel matters or whether Landolcetta's departure is tied to the mistake or the Inspector General's investigation.
Landolcetta's separation papers offered little explanation on her departure.
"The parties desire to bring complete closure to the facts and circumstances surrounding Mrs. Ladolcetta's retirement from employment," the agreement reads.
Mayor Joy Cooper said although neither she nor the commission have any say in personnel decisions, she supports Miller's "decision process."
"I think she has a very strong commitment to setting goals and making sure staff reached those goals," Cooper said.
Vice Mayor Alexander Lewy said he believes the changes are meant to move the city forward. At least four directors have left since Miller took over.
"The city has been running in an old-school fashion with antiquated methods for so long," Lewy said. "Our city manager has recognized that and is changing it."

1936 Lagonda LG45 4½-Litre Fox & Nicholl Le Mans Team Car Replica
Registration no. NJ 9185
Chassis no. 12001
Engine no. LG45/12001
Having established its reputation by winning the Moscow - St Petersburg Reliability Trial of 1910 with a 30hp six, Lagonda concentrated mainly on the production of light cars before reverting to sporting and luxury models in the mid-1920s with the introduction of the 14/60. This four-cylinder, 2-litre model was joined in 1929 by the first of Lagonda's own sixes - the 3-Litre - but by the mid-1930s the Meadows-engined cars were seen as the way forward. Introduced at the 1933 Olympia Show and based on the preceding ZM 3-Litre model, the M45 deployed Meadows' 4½-litre, twin-plug six to good effect, saloons being capable of reaching 90mph and tourers the 'ton' under favourable conditions.
A team of three specially prepared short-chassis cars (effectively the soon-to-be-announced M45 Rapide) prepared by Lagonda main agents Fox & Nicholl performed creditably at the 1934 RAC Tourist Trophy at Ards, and the following year one of these TT cars driven by John Hindmarsh and Luis Fontes won the Le Mans 24-Hour endurance classic outright.
Shortly before its 1935 Le Mans win, Lagonda had gone into liquidation and passed to new owners. In September 1935 they were able to announce the LG45. A new model, building upon the successful Le Mans win, the old M45 and M45R models and the new owners' enthusiasm, it was a much more sober vehicle offered in saloon, tourer and drophead coupé variants. Deliveries commenced in the spring of 1936.
Under W O Bentley's technical direction the big Lagonda became more refined: the LG45 gaining synchromesh gears, flexible engine mounts and centralised chassis lubrication among many other improvements. Endowed with such an impeccable pedigree, the 4½-Litre Lagonda quickly established itself as a favourite among the wealthy sporting motorists of its day.
Lagonda's new owners were keen to build on the racing successes and commissioned Fox & Nicholl to produce cars for the '36 Le Mans. Two four-seaters were built on the new LG45 10ft 9in chassis: registered as 'EPB 101' (chassis number '12108') and 'EPB 102' ('12109'). Additionally a couple of two-seater cars were built: 'HLL 534' ('12100') and 'EPE 97' ('12111'). All four cars raced during 1936 but Le Mans was cancelled due to industrial action, the only occasion the race has not run in peacetime. The new Lagonda management was understandably disappointed and both four-seater cars were broken up in late 1936, leaving the two two-seaters to continue to the present day representing this great era of Lagonda racing history.
Over a decade ago the owner of this LG45 set out to recreate a 1936 four-seater car, which was made possible with the aid of digitised contemporary photographs published in Bernd Holthusen's book,
. The aim was to get as near as humanly possible to the original, with all the details correct, and yet have a useable car. The project started in earnest in July 2006 and it took almost three years to get the car on the road. Lagonda Club members, believing the project to be of some significance, provided the majority of the rare parts for this replica.
One of only 278 LG45s produced during 1936/37, chassis number '12001' is the second LG (Lagonda Motors) car made after the company was bought from the liquidators in June 1935. A saloon model, 'NJ 9185' was first registered on 4th June 1936 at Weybridge. It is assumed that '12001' was used as a factory demonstrator, hack and general run around. At some stage a 'Sanction 2' Meadows engine was installed (there is evidence of competition use in this engine and both axles had been modified for brake scoops so it is believed that these parts have a racing pedigree). It is known that both four-seater cars were broken up by the factory around October 1936 and the useable parts dispersed to production vehicles, possibly including '12001'.
Just before the war, 'NJ 9185' was bought by a Mr Llewellyn, whose son David still belongs to the VSCC and can remember driving it as a child. In January 1953 the car was acquired by Claude Hilary of Bristol, passing in August 1955 passed to a George Menze of New Barnet who owned it until April '56. The next owner was William Watson of Haverfordwest followed by Philip Parsons of Pinner from August 1959. Parsons owned the Lagonda until 2001. The car was on the road until 1968, failed the MoT due to excessive wear in the brake clevis pins, then failed again in October 1977 for the same reason!
William Tomkins of Apethorpe acquired 'NJ 9185' in 2001 with the intention of restoring it but even at that stage the ash frame was suspect and the car was then stored in an aircraft hanger until in June 2006. On inspection, the body and its ash frame were found to be terminally rotten but the car had all the correct M45R parts, including the axles, radiator and brakes, and an engine that ran. Representatives from both the Lagonda Club and the Vintage Sports Car Club needed to assure themselves that the saloon body was beyond the point of saving in order for a new body to be fitted and for the car to be acceptable to both Clubs. Subsequently the VSCC has issued a 'Buff Form' and the FIA have issued a Historic Technical Passport. The car is now eligible to trace in a variety of competitions both in the UK and abroad.
Marque specialists Brian Bishop and Charles Gray of BishopGray were entrusted with the restoration, with significant contributions by way of parts from others including the Northern Lagonda Factory and David Ayre. Amazingly, a correct and ultra rare 'Sanction 3' cylinder head was offered out of the blue. The correct Rotax headlamps came from Canada and a pair of Luvax shock absorbers from the car of another Club member, who considered the Team Car project more deserving.
Eventually the countless difficulties were overcome and the Lagonda has now completed its third racing season. Over the winter of 2009/2010 the engine was rebuilt and now produces around 180bhp at the rear wheels. Nothing was left to chance when it came to rebuilding the engine, which incorporates a dynamically balanced steel crankshaft and con-rods, with all critical components crack tested.
In June 2010 the vendor drove 'NJ 9185' to the Le Mans Classic meeting to celebrate the 75th anniversary of Lagonda's Le Mans win, and since then the car has competed in various races including the AMOC's season-long Pre-War Team Challenge. The 'Lagonda 1' team, including 'NJ 9185', recently lifted the trophy for the second successive year.
Finished in 'Fox & Nicholl Red' with matching leather interior, this wonderful re-creation of a historic pre-war Lagonda Le Mans Team Car is offered with restoration invoices, old-style logbook, current road fund licence, MoT to March 2013 and Swansea V5C document.
