I was hoping this trip would redeem Disneyland, but it hasnt. I went to get my guest assistance card, and the guy told me that they quit giving those out 5 or 6 years ago. I told him that I was here in May of 2016 and used one. He repeated that they quit using them 5 or 6 years ago. Then his suggestion was to rent a wheelchair. I have to change positions every 15 minutes, so I cannot just sit in a wheelchair. I pointed this out to him. He told me to just get out and push it when I needed to stand up.
In 1997, I was injured in a motor vehicle accident while transporting a patient. I had to use a wheelchair and a disability placard. I worked very hard to get to the point that I dont need those any more.
6 years ago I had a perforated ulcer and no one expected me to live. 5 years ago I was battling cervical cancer. I was not visiting Disneyland those years.
Disneyland can kiss my grits if they think I am going to go backwards in what I can do.

Airbus A330-300
Video: cabin
Airbus A330-300
Flying with class – Lufthansa's Business Class in the Airbus A330 excels with its innovative design and a whole lot of practical details for convenience and comfort. For example, a personal 15" monitor for each passenger to work or play on. But it's the seats that are the big attraction – a whole lot more roomy and comfortable and convertible into a 2-meter (6½ ft.) bed at the press of a button.
The following video contains no captions. You will find a description on the website.

Nate Robinson replaced Kirk Hinrich in Chicago's starting lineup and had 21 points and eight assists, helping the Bulls hold off the Indiana Pacers, 97-90 at Notre Dame's Joyce Center.
Luol Deng added 17 points for the Bulls, who never trailed and finished the preseason with a 5-2 record, best in the Central Division.
Roy Hibbert led Indiana (4-3) with 17 points and eight rebounds. David West had 16 points and nine boards, and D.J. Augustin totaled 10 points and 13 assists for the Pacers.
Taj Gibson had nine points and 11 rebounds off the bench for Chicago.
Hinrich did not play after straining his right groin Tuesday against Oklahoma City.
Chicago led by 12 early in the fourth quarter, but the Pacers whittled it down to just three with 1:08 to play following West's three-point play. The Bulls answered with consecutive jumpers in the final minute from Richard Hamilton and Robinson, who drained a fallaway with 18 seconds left that just beat the shot clock.
The Bulls led by as many as 15 points in the first quarter. Indiana got the lead down to 52-43 by halftime, thanks to 10 points off the bench from Ian Mahinmi, who finished with 14.

This Week's Vegan Faves
I've come across soooooo many kick-ass vegan goodies this past week that I've decided to do a quick li'l roundup! We're talkin' food, beauty products, cookbooks and more! My heart literally pitter patters with joy knowing that there's a mega heaptitude of vegan awesomeness everywhere I go!
Without further ado, my fave vegan goodies of the week:
Healthy Snack: Navitas Naturals Blueberry Hemp Superfood Raw snacks—These bite-sized health nuggets are vegan and gluten-free, high in fiber and Vitamin C, contain super food ingredients like chia, hemp, maca, camu-camu and maqui, and are muy delicioso!
Vegan Food Find: Trader Joe's Chickenless Crispy Tenders—These tasty finger foods are available at my fave grocery store, they're affordable, and hella tasty! Dunk these bad boys in a vat of BBQ sauce and you're golden! Psst… the soy in this product is non-GMO (in case you were wonderin').
Hair Care Product: Salon Grafix's Healthy Hair Nutrition Intensive Hair Repair Masque—This hair masque is mega thick and rich and does an excellent job at infusing moisture back into dry, crusty, chemically processed hair. It's also sulfate-free, paraben-free, it doesn't contain harsh chemicals or artificial colors, and it's full of natural botanical extracts.
Skin Care Product: Hugo Naturals Brown Sugar Body Polish (Kumquat)—Spa session at home? Yes, please! Buff away dry skin flakies and enjoy the softest skin ev-ah with this nourishing and yummy sweet-smelling scrub. Kumquats are not only one of the cutest fruits on the planet, their citrusy scent inspires cheerful, happy vibes! Indulge!
Accessory: Jamberry Nail Shields – These nail decals last longer than nail polish (up to 2 weeks!) and they come in all sorts of funky designs. I like to just use 'em on my thumbs as accent pieces (they last longer this way too). There are over 170 colorfully fun designs to choose from, however, the blue and red argyle ones kinda stole my heart! ♥
What are some of your favorite recent vegan finds?
About Sunny (Sunny's Profile)Longtime vegan, hardcore compassionate beauty junkie, serious cake aficionado, and lover of all things floofy and sparkly!

Dr Adrian Bailey
Senior Lecturer in Management
+44 (0) 1392 722523
Streatham Court, University of Exeter, Rennes Drive, Exeter, EX4 4PU, UK
Adrian Bailey is Senior Lecturer in Management at the University of Exeter Business School. He is the co-founder of the 'Business, Nature and Value Research Centre, an international network researching issues of sustainable supply chain management. Adrian brings a wide range of knowledge from human geography and management studies to explore the how the co-operative identity (i.e. organisations where members are also owners) can contribute to sustainable business practices and business models.
Adrian gained his doctoral thesis in 2002, entitled 'Developing a model community: Institutions, paternalism and social identities in Bournville, 1879-1939'. His doctoral work adopts a mixed methods approach to research the interaction of Quaker business philanthropy, the Cadbury organisation and the local communities within the Bournville Village Trust. In 2003, he joined the School of Geography at the University of Exeter to work on the Leverhulme funded project 'The Role of Methodism in Cornish Cultures, c.1830-1930'. Joining the Business School in 2006, Adrian worked on the AHRC project 'Reconstructing consumer landscapes c.1947-1975: Shopper reactions to the supermarket in early post-war England'. In 2007, he began working on the AIM/ESRC-funded project 'Internationalisation and innovation in the service sector: The role of international migration and UK (London) hotels'. His research uncovers 'hidden innovation' in front and back office functions, highlighting the impacts of new information communication technologies on marketing, service quality and the outsourcing of services.
Adrian was appointed as Lecturer in Tourism Management in 2009 and was the Director of tourism programmes from 2009-2013. He remains active in researching visitor experiences in arts and cultural institutions. Since 2010 he has been working with the Co-operative Group (UK) to deliver undergraduate modules that highlight the role of co-operative values and principles to business practice. His research now combines his enthusiasm for co-operatives, with his research exploring issues of food security and rural development in a range of international contexts.
Away from his desk, Adrian is the co-Chair of the Belmont Eco-Group, which achieved Eco-Congregation status in 2008-2010 and is currently applying for Eco-Church status. Informed by political theologies that incorporate an ecological focus, he helps faith based organisations to respond to the challenges presented by climate change and consumerism. He keeps an allotment and grows a wide range of organic fruit and vegetables with his family for the home kitchen.

My current research is focusing on issues of collaboration and governance within the context of co-operatives and social enterprises. These hybrid organisations combine social and economic missions, which provide a range of challenges for managers. My recent research has been focused on producer co-operatives in relation to issues of food security and rural development. My current work brings together my previous research on religion and spatiality, which explores the institutional reproduction of values and beliefs, with my interest in the consumer adoption of innovations in retailing and hospitality organisations. I am seeking to understand how co-operatives and social enterprises can embrace environmental sustainability within their business models and how effective market demand for their products and services can be created (e.g. through certifications and social movements). This is part of an effort to understand how sustainable innovations can be scaled up (i.e. institutionally), scaled out (i.e. extended to more people) and scaled deep (i.e. culturally embedded).
Research projects
Adrian is currently the recipient of Newton mobility grants with partners in South Africa (Sustainability Institute), Brazil, China and a Newton Caldas grant (ReDES: University of Los Andes).

My teaching is focused on so called 'alternative' business models associated with the third sector, specifically those that are described as co-operatives, mutuals or social enterprises. These organisations have hybrid identities, as they seek to combine social and economic missions. I deal with issues arising from the governance of these alternative models and aim to prepare students to become social entrepreneurs and co-operative managers. My teaching is supported by my research into agricultural producer co-operatives and social enterprises in a range of contexts (Brazil, China, Colombia, Italy, South Africa and UK). I am also a member of several social enterprises and co-operatives, which provides an insider perspective on the management of these organisations.
In 2010, I was sponsored by the Co-operative Group in a knowledge exchange to develop undergraduate modules that highlighted the importance of the International Co-operative Alliance (ICA) values and principles. The outcome of this partnership is BEM3038 Co-operative Enterprise, which simulates the startup of a co-operative social enterprise by considering a comprehensive set of choices that social entrepreneurs must take. The issues covered on the module include: the process of designing a business with social objectives; how to work together co-operatively; the choice of legal constitution; how to engage members in the ICA values and principles; how to market the co-operative difference to members and non-members; capitalisation; and accounting for economic, social and environmental performance. The module is supported by local social entrepreneurs and the Co-operative Group contribute a Dragon's Den examination of student work.
My other teaching interests are associated with qualitative methods and research ethics. I have expertise to share with students in the area of interviewing, oral history, ethnography, historical methods and research ethics. I also contribute guest lectures on modules associated with tourism, leisure and hospitality, where I am able to share my experiences of working with TATE, RAMM and a wide range of tourism organisations.
I supervise a wider range of dissertations covering areas of business history, collaboration, co-operation, innovation, religion, spirituality, retailing and sustainable supply chain management.

Pitt Gets Bigger On The Line After "Decision Day 2013"
Pittsburgh coach Paul Chryst helped turn Wisconsin into an offensive powerhouse by recruiting massive offensive linemen that paved the way to the end zone.
Finally settled at Pitt, Chryst is doing the same with the Panthers.
Pitt signed 27 players on National Signing Day, including five offensive linemen that Chryst expects to be the foundation the Panthers build around as they head into the ACC next year.
All five of the linemen are at least 6-foot-4 and 280 pounds, including highly touted Dorian Johnson of Belle Vernon, Pa. Chryst called Johnson one of the best athletes he's ever recruited and anticipates Johnson could make an immediate impact.
The Panthers also signed three players from four-time defending Pennsylvania state champion Clairton High: wide receiver Tyler Boyd and defensive backs Titus Howard and Terrish Webb.

As 'The King's Speech' Heads to Oscars, the Biology Behind a Stutter
When Jennifer McGuire watches home movies of her 3-year old self reciting the alphabet, she can remember all over again the sadness and anger she felt when her father had to prompt her on the letter "r." She knew her ABCs, but once again her stuttering had made it maddeningly impossible to do the ordinary.
"Stuttering has colored my whole life," she recently told scientists and reporters gathered at the American Association for the Advancement of Science's annual meeting in Washington, D.C. "Only recently has it not been the first thing I think about when I get up in the morning and the last thing before I go to bed."
McGuire's stutter was noticeable during her time on the podium at the AAAS conference, and the 30 year-old art therapist said she has been in some sort of speech therapy for years. But she was excited to be speaking alongside scientists who are coming at the puzzle of stuttering from some unexpected angles.
About 3 million Americans have a chronic stutter, and most people start stuttering between the ages of 2 and 4. This early start convinced many researchers for years that the speech disorder was a product of poor parenting or signs of uncontrolled nervousness. But it's more likely that stuttering is the result of genes gone awry or brains working in overdrive, according to the experts gathered at AAAS.
Half of all people who seek therapy for stuttering have a family history of the disorder, said National Institutes of Health geneticist Dennis Drayna, who made headlines last year with the discovery of mutations in three genes that may be related to stuttering. To figure out what these mutations are doing to affect speech, he and his colleagues are genetically altering a mouse to give it a stutter—although Drayna admits that it's still difficult to hear a stutter in high-pitched mouse talk.
"The brain actually looks different in people who stutter," said Luc De Nil, a speech disorder specialist at the University of Toronto. His brain scan studies show that people who stutter chronically often have signs of "overactivity" in parts of the brain that produces the movements related to speech. Recently De Nil and his co-workers confirmed that people who start stuttering after a strike sometimes have lesions in these same areas of the brain.
All this evidence from biology, said Purdue University speech researcher Anne Smith, makes it clear that stuttering should be treated as early as possible. She hopes her own work with 4 and 5-year olds will help reveal why nearly 75% of children who start out stuttering lost the stammer spontaneously or through early therapy.
"The severity of a child's stutter doesn't predict whether the stutter will disappear," she said, so researchers are looking for other signs of persistent stuttering. Smith's lab studies have shown that children who stutter at this early age sometimes find it difficult to clap to a beat, and move their mouths and lips differently from those who don't stutter.
Even as scientists move closer to dispelling the myth that stuttering comes from a lack of self-confidence, the researchers agreed that the struggles of those who suffer with the disorder can lead to nervousness and frustration with public speaking.
Now pregnant, McGuire said she is excited about the future of stuttering studies. "It would be great if my child ends up being a person who stutters, but is able to have it be less mysterious , and have access to effective therapies at an earlier stage of life."

So, time to kick off the thread about who we draft, trade, contract, delist over the next 12 months.
The most significant recruiting decision will be the choice of who will replace Tom Harley as GM of Football when Harley steps up to replace Andrew Ireland as CEO at the end of 2018. Presumably the club is already advanced in its thinking on this topic. Could the club announce something before the pre-season ends? More likely the announcement will come much later because, presumably, that will be better for the incomer�s current employment situation.
Otherwise, in the coaching department we had some timely renewal in 2017 (with the departure of Dew, Francou, Playfair and Taubert and arrival of Cox, Johnson, Kennelly and Laidler) and hopefully our choices prove successful and we stick with them and give their new plans time to bear fruit. I don�t think further change will be necessary (apart from the addition of Macca when he stops playing) in the year ahead.
On to the players. Who to recontract, de-list, trade and draft (including are there any free agents we want to bring in)?
Here is a list of the players whose contracts will expire in 2018:
Aliir Aliir
Jordan Foote
Heath Grundy
Jake Lloyd
Jack Maibaum
Harry Marsh
Jarrad McVeigh
Sam Naismith
Nic Newman
Daniel Robinson
James Rose
Nick Smith
Dean Towers
Joel Amartey (Cat A Rookie - 1st Year)
James Bell (Cat B Rookie - 1st Year)
Jake Brown (Cat B Rookie - 1st Year)
Robbie Fox (Cat A Rookie - 2nd Year)
Alex Johnson (Cat A Rookie - 1st Year)
Toby Pink (Cat A Rookie - 2nd Year)
Ben Ronke (Cat A Rookie - 2nd Year)
Angus Styles (Cat A Rookie - 1st Year)
With the rookies I feel it is just too hard to predict. It will really depend on their seasons next year and whether they can continue their development. Chances are at least a couple won�t be with us in 12 months� time. I hope AJ and Pink make the grade. I hope they all do.
Jake Lloyd is probably our highest priority re-signing and I expect he will re-signed before the H&A season begins.
Provided he has a strong pre-season, Aliir should be a priority re-signing too. If so, he may be re-signed sooner rather than later. But he�s under pressure to rediscover his 2016 form.
Reg�s extension will depend on how his body holds up. I�m optimistic he�ll be with us a little while longer but he probably won�t be extended until later in the season. Ditto Smooch except that he�s younger (turns 30 next year) and hasn�t had any injury issues to date that I can think of so he might get a multi-year extension and sooner than Reg.
Newman and Naismith have also done enough to feel assured that they will be recontracted beyond 2018, although the arrival of Ling, Stoddart and Styles is going to apply a fair bit of pressure to Newman going forward. He certainly won�t be resting easy this off-season.
James Rose, Harry Marsh, Jordan Foote and Dan Robinson however will be feeling the acid, I think. Of these I consider that Marsh and Robinson are the most versatile and perhaps slightly advantaged for that reason (but by no means safe). Rose is talented and may deserve another go, only not with the Swans, mostly because of the recruitment of Papley, Hayward, Florent since we drafted Rose, all of whom have overtaken him. The latest draftees will be putting more pressure on. Foote�s hopes are boosted a little by the fact we haven�t drafted any other inside mids this year. His chances may depend not just on his own form but on how Ronke develops and how Fox performs in 2018. I can see Foote moving on to a good career with the Students if he isn�t extended with us. I think at least two of these four guys will be cut after next year.
You�d have to think 2018 is Macca�s final season given that he has been struggling with keeping his body in shape for a while now and the lack of pressure he applies on the field. However his game vision, on-field coaching, mental toughness and disposal remain excellent.
Unlike Hayward, Cameron and Florent, Maibaum of our 2016 draftees hasn�t yet had his contract extended. This suggests the club is waiting for him to show a bit more. So he had best get out there and show it. He�s a young KPP and experience shows they take a little longer to develop.
Which leaves us with Towers. Deano had his best season yet in 2017 and has shown he is worthy of playing seniors. He�s also very versatile, especially if you consider he can pinch hit in the ruck. However, given our depth and the developing youth (Florent, Dawson, Ling etc) he may be overtaken and find himself on the fringes with the Swans. For this reason, I think we should see what we might get for him by way of trade. He was a late first round pick but probably hasn�t lived up to our hopes and isn�t young so if we could get a late 2nd round pick in the 2018 draft, I�d take it. Depending on how much game time he sees in 2018, I�d also consider a 3rd round pick. On the other hand, if he has no suitors, he is a worthy depth player and we keep him.
Free agents
Afl.com.au maintains a list of free agents here: Free Agency - AFL.com.au. Unfortunately it is not currently up to date but at some stage I suppose they�ll update it.
Given the approach we took over this off-season it seems we have confidence in the list we have and provided at least one of Maibaum/AJ/Aliir break out (or back out in the case of AJ and AA), I don�t think we will have any pressing needs. I also can�t see us pursuing a really top-line free agent like Tom Lynch, mostly due to the fact that I suspect we have less salary cap freedom than our competitors.
Yes, it would be great if we could trade Tippett. But, given he is contracted, he has to agree and he clearly doesn�t want to go anywhere so I can�t see this happening unless he is languishing in the reserves and gets sick of it. In that case it will still be hard to trade him because who will want him? So, hopefully he just recovers his best form and blitzes it as our premiere ruckman in which case we can possibly trade Sinclair instead.
The money we have tied up in our ruck stocks is a headache for us given the trend towards playing only one genuine ruckman. We are well equipped for the scenario where you play two rucks because we have four solid options. But this is not a great set-up for the scenario we actually face where you only play one ruckman because none of our rucks are really elite. What�s the solution?
2018 is tipped to be a bumper draft. The good news for us is
(a) we have an extra 2nd round pick (Collingwood�s); and
(b) we will probably have first dibs on the first round prospect, Nick Blakey, because he is an Academy player (and his dad is on club staff).
Should we try and trade for a pick in the first round ahead of where we think Blakey will be taken to thereby get two first round picks? Will Blakey�s connection with North and Brisbane make it more likely they will bid on him, even if the Swans are going to get first dibs on him?
Here�s an article about the most promising prospects looking at the 2018 draft a year out: Clubs shift focus to 2018 'super' draft - AFL.com.au.
And here�s are write ups from afl.com.au about our most promising Academy prospects, most of whom were draft eligible this year:
Sam Wicks
Played some really good footy for the Swans reserves and after earning himself a NEAFL Rising Star nomination, was a member of their losing Grand Final side. A small forward who can play as an outside midfielder, Wicks has speed and endurance and is ultra competitive.
Nick Blakey
A key forward with the versatility to play as a midfielder, Blakey's key attribute is his overhead marking. Inherited his father's running ability and is sure to have all three clubs (Brisbane Lions, North Melbourne and Sydney) waiting by the phone next year.
Michael Carroll
A raw prospect that is developing quickly and really came on in 2017. Has good closing speed and is excellent one-on-one, is aggressive, sure footed, and is a good size for a key defender. Was about best on ground for Pennant Hills in their Grand Final win this year.
Conor Flanagan
Reads the play extremely well and a standout in the Swans academy in terms of his professionalism towards his footy. A very handy role player because of his competitiveness and elite endurance.
Jack Hardman
A powerful small forward with a big vertical leap and speed, but needs to work on his endurance and skills over the next 12 months. Has the ingredients to attract plenty of recruiters.
A few pundits thought we might need a KPD in this year�s draft but we didn't. Will that assist Carroll�s prospects? (BTW, any relation to Dennis?) I would think we will also be wanting to draft prospects to work in our engine room onball down the track.
Whaddya reckon?

I hadn't meant to start my series "The Clausewitz Chronicles" with a post of this nature. Linear, progressing through the book, that was my thought. But certain passages scattered throughout parts of the volume began to coalesce into a discrete topic, and the sprawling thoughts below are nearly a short article in length.
Clausewitz seems to be as popular today as he has ever been. Which is something, if you stop to think about it. After all, for a theorist's work to be valued as highly as is Clausewitz's, to be used as the basis of so many operational and professional platforms nearly two centuries after it was first written, is remarkable. Please note, I'm not referring, in the main, to historical studies that aim to read Clausewitz in terms of his contemporaries (which would be my approach should I ever have to teach a course on the subject). I'm referring to works such as Willmott and Barrett's Clausewitz Reconsidered (2009), which asks if On War is still relevant to current military planning; to Sumida's Decoding Clausewitz (2008), which values the text for treating of "important military questions," and which has advocates a particular relationship between theory and history which has heretofore proved elusive.[1] I'm referring to van Creveldt's article, decrying Clausewitz for discounting the "laws of war" in his lengthy discussion of war itself, and Howard's "Very Short Introduction," which however does treat Clausewitz in a more historical vein. The Prussian theorist himself has come under fire more recently from CGSC professor and career soldier Stephen Melton, whose book The Clausewitz Delusion (2009) credits to a misguided affection for On War many of the U.S. military problems in Iraq and Afghanistan (not sure how much I buy that, though there are some points in favor of that thesis). Whether you love him or hate him, Clausewitz is not going away.
[Note: My edition of On War is the Everyman's Library edition of the Howard/Paret/Brodie translation, and has a different pagination than the older editions]
As a military historian whose first area of specialization is medieval warfare, however, I have wondered at the applicability of On War to medieval warfare in particular, and to pre-Napoleonic conflicts in general. Gillingham perhaps said it best, when, in concluding his analysis of Richard I's generalship, he said that "[i]n these circumstances a Napoleonic or Clausewitzian Niederwerfungsstrategie made little sense."[2] Of course, Gillingham prefaces this sentence with some remarks on the superiority of defense over offense in medieval warfare, which as we all know is a basic premise of Clausewitz's study (VI:chapters 2 and 3). Many would be quick to point out that this factor alone is a great example of Clausewit'z utility in analyzing past conflicts—Rogers, for example, invokes Clausewitz's idea of the "positive aim" in his discussion of Vegetian warfare.[3] But a multiplicity of accurate observations does not justify a text's use as a paradigm of evaluation.

The head of Mexico's Social Development department dismissed seven officials Thursday after some of them were mentioned in taped discussions about how to use anti-poverty programs to promote the governing party in upcoming local elections.
The dirty tricks discussed at the meetings included kicking opposition supporters off a federal program that provides small monthly stipends to poor families and handing out government-supplied wheelchairs in the name of the ruling party.
It reads like a laundry list of abuses from the past of the Institutional Revolutionary Party, known as the PRI, which ruled Mexico for seven decades with graft and handouts until it lost the presidency in the 2000 and the 2006 elections.
When Enrique Pena Nieto's regained the presidency for the PRI last year, he said the party had reformed itself. But the tapes released by the conservative National Action Party reveal officials from the Gulf coast state of Veracruz, which is governed by the PRI, discussing how to get National Action supporters off government social programs and insert PRI supporters.
Federal Social Development Secretary Rosario Robles, whose office oversees the programs, said Thursday that she had fired six employees in Veracruz and suspended her department's chief representative in the state pending investigation.
"We are not involved in any election campaign, and I want to assure the leaders of the political parties that in no way will we be involved in any election campaign," Robles said.
On one of the tapes, a voice identified as that of Veracruz state finance secretary Salvador Manzur is heard discussing an aid program known as Oportunidades.
"The people who we see who are plainly not on our side, there are regulatory conditions for substituting them - not just the representatives, but the beneficiaries," he said.
"It's sending a message of: Help us out, or else," Manzur is heard telling a meeting on how to support PRI candidates in municipal and state legislature elections scheduled for July 7.
Another voice, identified as that of state Health Secretary Pablo Anaya, is heard telling PRI campaign supporters: "Before, we just gave out wheelchairs, right? Now, they have to be given out ... in the name of the party."
At one point, Manzur is heard describing an invitation to attend a campaign rally: "My greetings are obviously accompanied by a respectful request that you must voluntarily show up to work with us in our events."
Neither Manzur nor Anaya could be reached to comment on the tapes. The Veracruz state government issued a statement saying it had not interfered in the campaigns.
The officials are heard expressing confidence they could get help from federal officials who oversee subsidized milk, anti-poverty, pension and other aid programs. Some of those mid-level federal officials apparently attended the campaign meetings, which were held between February and early April.
National Action, which said it got the tapes from someone who attended the meetings, said it had filed criminal complaints charging vote tampering and misuse of federal funds.
"I have always said the PRI wins with handouts and trickery, but now we will demonstrate that this is not its only strategy," said National Action leader Gustavo Madero. "They are also unscrupulously using social programs, anti-poverty programs, anti-hunger programs shamelessly for political advantage."
The PRI's national office issued a statement "expressing its interest in having these allegations thoroughly investigated by the appropriate authorities."
Pena Nieto's social programs have already been dogged by accusations that they are politically motivated.
Critics claim Pena Nieto's National Crusade Against Hunger, which is modeled on a program established in Brazil by then President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, is actually aimed at promoting the PRI in towns where there will be local elections this summer.
The critics say that rather than choosing the poorest communities, Robles and Pena Nieto targeted a disproportionate number of less-poor towns and cities, including some neighborhoods in Mexico City, with the aim of influencing political sympathies.
Robles said Thursday that votes couldn't be bought that way anymore. She insisted the crusade isn't political and it will operate in only about a tenth of towns and cities where elections will be held.

Combi USA is recalling more than 39,000 car seats because they can transmit too much force to a child's chest in a crash.
The recall covers certain Coccoro Convertible Child Restraints with a model number of 8220. They were manufactured from Jan. 1, 2009 to June 29, 2016.
Government documents say the problem happens when the seats are installed in a forward-facing position and secured only with a vehicle lap belt.
U.S. & World
Stories that affect your life across the U.S. and around the world.
The problem was discovered in government tests. Combi says in the documents that there is little to no risk in real-world crashes. It has no reports of injuries.
Combi will notify owners and send them a cover for the bottom of the seat that reduces the force on children's chests. Distribution of the covers started on July 11.
Consumer who bought the car seats may contact Combi customer service at 1-888-232-3294, or by clicking here.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – On Monday, junior A.C. Leonard was recognized by the College Football Performance Awards as an honorable mention for the publication's FCS Tight End of the Week.
The designation was the third straight weekly award for the Jacksonville, Fla. native.
This past weekend against Central State, Leonard caught a team-high three passes for 55 yards and a touchdown. His score was one of six passing touchdowns thrown by TSU quarterbacks against the Marauders.
Leonard has had at least three grabs in four of TSU's five contests and he leads the Tigers this season with 19 catches for 274 yards and three touchdowns.
Big Blue will go for its fifth consecutive victory on Saturday, Oct. 5 when the squad squares off against the Redhawks of Southeast Missouri at 6 p.m. at LP Field.

Netgear will next quarter ship network adaptors capable of transmitting information at up to 200Mbps through home-installed mains power cables, the company said this week. The units, which are based on chips developed by Design of Systems on Silicon (DS2), mark a big leap forward for powerline networking technology which currently offers a maximum throughput of 85Mbps.
Both speeds are raw data rates in ideal conditions, so real-world speeds, with allowance of error correction and Ethernet protocols, will be lower, but it still represents a big boost. The real-world speed is believed to be around 100Mbps.
According to Netgear, the increase makes transmitting multimedia data around the home much more effective. Indeed, the DS2 chipset incorporates Quality of Service (QoS) provision to improve video delivery.
The 200Mbps throughput is a target of the HomePlug AV specification, which was approved in August 2005, but Netgear didn't say whether the new adaptors are compliant with the standard. Nor did it say whether the adaptors are interoperable with older, 14Mbps HomePlug 1.0 and the 85Mbps extension to that version. ®

By Teachers, For Teachers
With summer just around the corner, it's the time to make sure those sunny school-free days don't pass us by. Let's make the most of this summer without blowing out the budget.
Here are my top 12 ways to rock your summer break on a budget!
Now is the time to make the most of your hometown and explore your own backyard.
Step 1: Set aside a day or two with your family or friends to dedicate to your hometown adventure! Otherwise, you'll all get caught up in your own thing.
Step 2: Choose your destination.
Step 3: Have a blast!
Though you may not be ready to say good bye to summer, that doesn't mean you don't miss your students and the way learning encapsulates your life during the school year.
Get your fix by creating fun learning opportunities for the kids in your life. These steamy days are perfect for lemonade stands, family book club or field trips to museums, aquariums, or local nature preserves.
Summer weekends get packed way too quickly. Take advantage of your weekday freedom to get back in touch. It's a nice escape from the office for them and an entertaining afternoon for you.
With 162 games in the MLB system, America's pastime is all but impossible to escape and way more fun than your typical full-time job. Why not embrace that fact and inject some hard-hitting excitement into your summer? Hop on the bandwagon for your local team.
If you're not usually baseball fan, it's a good excuse for an afternoon in the sun or evening under the lights, not to mention the tasty snacks. Local, semi-pro teams also offer the same good times for a much smaller price tag.
Summer is a great time to get back into walking, biking, jogging or just playing outside with your kids. Getting active now will make it easier to keep it up when you go back to school in the fall.
When the summer hits the heat wave season, it's all about swimming, boating and anything activities you can do in the water.
And remember: a rockin' playlist leads to a happy, healthy workout.
Put together a calendar of all the fun, free events around town so there's always an option when you find some glorious free time.
Reading is such a relaxing yet guilt-free way to unwind. Anytime I actually have time to read though, I forget about all the amazing books on my to-read list and end up drudging through whatever's lying around.
A little tip I picked up recently: Saving wishlists on Amazon or Goodreads.com can be a great way to keep track of books you want to read when you have more time.
Figure out what continuing education you need for your credential/license and take care of a few hours when you're not so busy with school work.
Many districts offer PD opportunities during the summer. It's tempting to stay as far away from school as possible, but you'll be happy you gave up an afternoon when you had the chance. To find other free or inexpensive PD options, check out Cheap Ways to Sharpen Your Teaching Skills This Summer.
If you're anything like my HDTV-junkie friends and family, you've always got big plans for how to make your home or yard even more amazing than it already it. Tackle a small project of two while you've got the time.
Don't be afraid to use your teacher status to get discount. Home Depot, the Container Store and Lowes all have some kind of discount in place for educators. You may be able to find deals on outdoor furniture and décor.
A tip I picked up from the best DIY gal around: always check the pre-mixed paint options customers didn't want at your local home stores. If you see a color you like, you'll get it at a big discount.
Here are more Cheap Yet Chic Home Improvement Ideas the Chicago Tribune gathered from design experts.
Taking a few hours a week to think about the school year, plan your classroom setup or prepare the first few units will make the transition in August/September that much easier.
For some more tips to keep those teaching muscles from atrophying over the summer, check out Teacher Training in the Off-Season.
The crazy day-to-day requirements of teaching make volunteer work seem nearly impossible, but summer break is a great time to jump in.
Try volunteering for local programs through your park or religious organization. For more excitement, volunteer with a local Habitat for Humanity program (as a group or an individual) to really feel like you've accomplished something. It's also so different from teachers that it won't feel like another day at work. For the rest of my life, I can say I built a flight of stairs in someone's home. That's pretty cool.
My favorite thing to do on breaks: Sleep, sleep and sleep some more!
That also includes rest for those of you who are working over the summer or whose summers at home with the kids are more taxing as your days in the classroom. This is your chance to take a break, so DO IT!!

Off-duty firefighter helps man caught in rip current
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – When Ernie Gorwood noticed two police officers running toward the surf on Fort Lauderdale Beach, his instincts immediately kicked in.
"I went across the sand and I saw a big crowd with their hands up and down, so I ran as fast as I could over there," said Gorwood.
Gorwood, a firefighter with the Broward Sheriff's Office, was off duty Sunday when he saw a young man unconscious on the sand.
"I instructed people to get away and I took over CPR," said Gorwood. "A Fort Lauderdale P.D. officer showed up, I instructed him to set up his BMV, which is a breathing device, and him and I together performed CPR, and we breathed for the victim."
Friends said the 28-year-old victim was simply having fun with a group in the water when they got caught in a rip current.
The 28-year-old went under.
"Whoever saw him in the water pulled him up against the sand so his face and body were full of sand. I cleared his airway, I cleared his face of sand. He aspirated a little bit of ocean water, I got that cleared out and I continued with CPR," said Gorwood.
The victim was rushed to the hospital. His condition wasn't immediately released.
"I don't know what the outcome is," said Gorwood.

Buffalo Bills running back CJ Spiller has apologized for tweeting "Keep my name out ur mouth fag" at former Clemson teammate and Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Ricky Sapp. The original tweet was deleted shortly after it was posted on Wednesday.
On Thursday, Spiller tweeted this apology: "I wanna apologize for using dat derogatory term to any1 that I may have offended I am truly sorry that was out of my character...God bless."
Also on Thursday, the rookie first round draft pick apologized before practice. "Me and Ricky are best friends and we always joke around on [Twitter], but I shouldn't have said what I said," Spiller said in the locker room. "If anybody knew how me and Ricky play around on Twitter, pretty much knows that we were just joking and didn't mean any harm. I apologize for the situation and just want to move forward."
Spiller said he personally apologized to head coach Chan Gailey and general manager Buddy Nix. The rookie added that he hasn't heard from the NFL. The incident cappped a disappointing week for the rookie running back, who has been sidelined "indefinitely" after injuring his hamstring in Sunday's win over the Lions.

ALGORITHMIC ASPECTS OF THROUGHPUT-DELAY PERFORMANCE FOR FAST DATA COLLECTION IN WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS by Amitabha Ghosh A Dissertation Presented to the FACULTY OF THE USC GRADUATE SCHOOL UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING) August 2010 Copyright 2010 Amitabha Ghosh

|Convergecast, namely the many-to-one flow of data from a set of sources to a common sink over a tree-based routing topology, is a fundamental communication primitive in wireless sensor networks. For real-time, mission-critical, and high data-rate applications, it is often critical to maximize the aggregated data collection rate (throughput) at the sink node, as well as minimize the time (delay) required for packets to get there. In this thesis, we look into the algorithmic aspects of jointly optimizing both throughput and delay for aggregated data collection in sensor networks. Our contributions are in designing efficient algorithms with provably good, worst-case performance bounds for arbitrarily deployed networks. To the best of our knowledge, we are the first ones to address these two mutually conflicting performance objectives -- throughput and delay -- under the same optimization framework and develop techniques to meet the stringent requirements for fast data collection.; Our approach in addressing the throughput-delay performance trade-off comprises three techniques: (i) multi-channel scheduling, (ii) routing over optimal topologies, and (iii) transmission power control. We exploit the benefits of multiple frequency channels to design efficient TDMA scheduling algorithms, both under the graph-based and the SINR-based interference models. In particular, by decoupling the joint frequency and time slot assignment problem into two separate subproblems of frequency assignment and time slot assignment, we show that our scheduling algorithms have constant factor and logarithmic approximation ratios on the optimal throughput for random geometric graphs as well as for SINR-based models.; In order to further enhance the data collection rate and bound the maximum delay, we study the degree-radius trade-off in spanning trees and propose algorithms under the bicriteria optimization framework. In particular, we construct bounded-degree-minimum-radius spanning trees that have constant factor approximations on the maximum node degree as well as the tree radius. We also show that our multi-channel scheduling algorithms perform much better on such trees in maximizing the aggregated throughput and minimizing the maximum delay, thus achieving the best of both worlds. Lastly, we design efficient, distributed power control schemes for sensor networks deployed in 3-D, where very high density of nodes causes high interference resulting in low network throughput. Our proposed algorithms have low computational overhead compared to the state-of-the-art, and by using local geometric information and tools from computational geometry produce sparse yet connected topologies in 3-D, thus reducing interference and allowing for high throughput.
