I was glad to see the front-page article on Dr. Don Huber in the Dec. 20 Capital Press. I, too, had been wondering why we hadn't seen any response to the letter he sent to Ag Secretary Tom Vilsack nearly three years ago.
Dr. Huber justified the criticism for the delay and again iterated the problems connected with getting help with independent research in this country.
I remember him pleading with Vilsack for help in that regard and evidently receiving none.
Anyone having a truly genuine concern for agriculture, I feel, should be more upset over these problems of getting unbiased research than for the delay.

Chris Clark confident he can fill Ryan Clady's cleats if necessary and protect Peyton Manning
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. – Everybody at Broncos headquarters is operating under the assumption Pro Bowl left tackle Ryan Clady will return to Denver in time for training camp with a new contract and a clean bill of health in hand.
Everybody except for Chris Clark, that is.
The fifth-year journeyman tackle is preparing as though he'll be the one protecting Peyton Manning's blindside on the Broncos' upcoming Super Bowl-or-bust tour.
Clady has stayed away from Dove Valley since January while rehabbing from offseason shoulder surgery and angling for a new long-term contract while his $9.828 million free agent tender gathers dust instead of his signature.
Vice President John Elway is on the record stating he wants to sign Clady to a long-term deal this summer, and coach John Fox said Wednesday, "I'm sure that'll all get worked out and I anticipate seeing him in camp."
All indications, he added, are that he's progressing as expected in his rehab. The Broncos, though, have yet to get a firsthand look at him since his surgery.
Manning also expresses confidence in Ryan's return next month.
"I think he will be here," Manning said. "I certainly hope that he'll be here. I know there's the business side of it. I've certainly kept in touch with Ryan (and know) he wants to be here ... (and) there's no question we want Ryan to be here."
Clady, after all, allowed just one sack in more than 1,100 snaps last season.
Clark has filled in for him at all of the team's offseason workouts, and in his first interview since last season, he told The Associated Press on Wednesday that he doesn't just see himself as keeping the seat warm for Clady.
"No, not at all. I approach it every day as though I'm the starter and I'm going to be the starter," Clark said. "For whatever reason, the guy signs, he may not sign, you never know what happens. So, my job is just to be ready and not worry about another guy, you know? Their decision is their decision. What I do is on me. So, that's the way I approach it."
The Broncos wouldn't want it any other way, really.
For all the bluster about how good Denver can be this season with the additions of Wes Welker and Montee Ball on offense and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, Shaun Phillips and Quentin Jammer on defense, the Broncos' fortunes may very well rest on how well their patchwork offensive line comes together.
Clady is one of four starters along the line who is coming off surgeries that eliminated or limited their offseason on-field work.
Still, the Broncos put their franchise tag on Clady, who rejected a five-year, $50 million offer last summer that included $28 million in guarantees. He wanted something more in line with Cleveland's Joe Thomas, whose contract averages $11.5 million a season.
Clady made $3.5 million last year, the final season of the five-year deal he signed as a rookie out of Boise State in 2008. He has started every game in his career and earned three Pro Bowl berths. His right shoulder kept him out of practice during the team's bye week in the playoffs but he returned to face the Baltimore Ravens in the divisional round before skipping the Pro Bowl.
Left guard Zane Beadles was the only Broncos starting offensive lineman to come out of last season unscathed. Orlando Franklin (toe, shoulder), Chris Kuper (ankle) and J.D. Walton (knee) also needed operations, and of the three, only Franklin has been practicing this spring.
With so much uncertainty surrounding the line, free agency was barely 20 minutes old when Louis Vasquez signed a four-year, $23.5 million deal with Denver that made him the team's new right guard and the vanguard of Denver's $68 million offseason splurge.
The starting offensive line during the team's offseason workouts has looked like this:
— Clark at left tackle.
— Beadles at left guard.
— Manny Ramirez at center.
— Vasquez at right guard.
— Franklin at right tackle.
"We're not looking at it as a negative because we're getting a lot of guys reps," offensive coordinator Adam Gase said.
Clark has started a half-dozen games in the NFL, and all were at tight end during the Tim Tebow experiment two years ago. So, working with the starters has been enormously beneficial this offseason.
It's helped him to hone his skills, gain confidence in himself and impress his coaches. Most importantly, though, it's allowed him and Manning to get comfortable working together.
"Of course quarterback cadences are different, so being able to work with Peyton right now, in the future, whatever the situation might be, I'll have that experience with Peyton and we'll be on one accord no matter what," Clark said.
Clark said his aim right now is to make sure the Broncos' Super Bowl aspirations aren't derailed if Clady isn't in the starting lineup come September, for whatever reason.
"You definitely don't want a drop-off. Nobody wants to be that guy," Clark said. "You want to be accountable and not the guy that everyone's looking at because you're the bad guy, you're the odd guy in the bunch. You just want to get in there when you're called and keep it going, keep the train moving."
And if Clady isn't on board, then so be it.
"My thing is, being Ryan's backup, him not being here, I approach it as I'm the starter and I'm going to be the starter," Clark said. "The goal is to be a starter in life. So, you do everything you can and work as hard as you can to accomplish those goals. You do whatever it takes."
Aside from quarterback, left tackle is generally considered the most important position on any NFL roster. And if Clark's the one manning that position in Denver in a month or even two, his message is pretty clear: Relax, I got this.
Notes: Former Broncos great Randy Gradishar attended practice and gave the team a pep talk afterward. ... LB Von Miller, who started a poultry business this offseason, is sporting a new tattoo of a rooster on his lower left leg. "In today's world, somebody calls you a chicken and you take offense to it," he said. "But cocks, roosters, if you sit and watch them, their personalities are outstanding. They run the yard. If you just sit there and watch them, they'll change your mind about being called a chicken."

Advertiser content from Pennytel
Consumers were able to access communications services of growing value as prices fell and plan inclusions increased, according to the ACCC's annual report on competition and price changes in the telecommunications sector in the 2016-17 financial year, released recently.
"At a time when affordability in energy markets is a major concern, competition in the broadband and mobile market is continuing to benefit consumers," ACCC Acting Chair Delia Rickard said.
The report found real prices of mobile services dropped by an average of 7.1 per cent each year over the same period.
"Consumers are obtaining greater value for money and receiving and using more data each year," Ms Rickard said.
It also reported that overall demand for communication services continues to grow, more consumers chose to rely on their mobile devices for voice calling in particular, and that new players entering the market will provide further competitive pressure.
One of those new players is Pennytel, a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) that resells the Telstra network. Its CEO, Rene Sugo, said that now is the perfect time for people to check that they are getting the best mobile phone deal.
"Over the past few years, complex cap inclusions and high per minute call rates have been replaced with unlimited calls and texts. If you're still on cap plan with included value, it's likely you're not getting the best value from your mobile provider," he said.
Mr Sugo recommended checking your actual phone usage against what the plan includes. Instead of being locked into a plan with expensive added extras you don't need, find a simple plan with value for you.
"Not everybody needs adds on such as Sports, Netflix or Spotify, so make sure that you are not needlessly paying for them."
Another step you can take is to look at the deals being offered by MVNOs. For example, Pennytel is currently offering the first month free to new customers (T&Cs apply, www.pennytel.com.au).
It offers the quality of the Telstra network, but at cheaper rates.
Switching mobile providers is easy: simply contact your new provider and order a plan. In Pennytel's case, you'll talk to a real person, not a robot.
They'll send you a new SIM card, and you can keep your current phone number.
You don't need to speak to your previous provider but check that you're not in a current contract.
The increase in competition in the telecommunications market means MVNOs are able to offer not only cost savings, but also benefits such as better service and a product that suits you.

Boorman collects second straight PacWest Defender of the Week honor
Point Loma senior forward Abby Boorman has been a top inside presence in the PacWest Conference since the calendar changed to 2014. Boorman claimed her second straight PacWest Defender of the Week honor in early February after two more dominating performances. First, she had seven blocks and eight rebounds in a win over Dominican (Calif.). She then capped off the week with a double-double, her fifth of the season, as she scored 13 points, pulled down 15 rebounds and blocked six shots against PacWest leaders Academy of Art.
Boorman leads the PacWest Conference with 3.4 blocks per game and has 1.4 blocks per game lead over second place. She is also third in the league with 8.9 rebounds per game and has averaged 11.5 rebounds so far in 2014. The Point Loma women's basketball team is 10-9 on the season and 7-7 in the PacWest. PLNU will close out the season with five of its last six games at home, starting with Chaminade on Tuesday, Feb. 11 and Hawaii Pacific on Thursday, Feb. 13.
Sheppard named PacWest Freshman of the Week
Kellen Sheppard's debut on the mound for Point Loma impressed more than just Sea Lion fans. It also caught the attention of the league, as Sheppard was selected as the Pacific West Conference Freshman of the Week for the week of Jan. 27-Feb. 2.
Sheppard pitched the second game of the series against Cal Poly Pomona and held the Broncos without a base runner for the first five innings, allowing one run through the first six. He finished the day with five strikeouts and four unearned runs allowed in 7.1 innings.
The Sea Lions will be at home four days this week before hosting San Diego Christian on Tuesday, Feb. 11 and then the University of British Columbia for a three-game series Feb. 13-15.

Blackjack Strategies
While Blackjack is easy to learn, it also involves sophisticated strategy as well as luck. It's one of the casino games with the best odds. Whether you are playing online or in a casino, knowing some basic techniques and tips can help increase your chances of success.
Basic Blackjack Strategy
Basic Blackjack strategy was developed through a series of computer simulations and probability calculations. Though by no means definitive, it provides a rough guide as to what to do in a given situation. By following basic strategy to the letter, the house advantage can be reduced to as low as 0.5%. While that means you will still need luck to win, the odds move closer to being in your favor.
Here is a quick guide to what basic Blackjack strategy suggests you should do in a given situation:
- If you have eight or below, always hit, regardless of what the dealer has.
- If you have nine and the dealer has three, four, five or six, double down. If the dealer has a two, or seven and higher, hit.
- If you have ten and the dealer has anything between two and nine, double down. If the dealer has a ten or an ace, hit.
- If you have 11 and the dealer has between two and 10, double down. If the dealer has an ace, hit.
- If you have 12 and the dealer has two, three or seven and higher, hit. If the dealer has four, five or six, stand.
- If you have between 13 and 16, and the dealer has seven or higher, hit. If the dealer has between two and six, stand.
- If you have between 17 and 21, always stand.
Following basic strategy is the most straightforward way for beginning players to increase their odds of winning. Of course, as you play more, you will become more familiar with the game and develop your own system. Good luck!
How to Play Blackjack
Bettors play against the dealer, and attempt to draw cards that come as close to 21 as possible without going over. If the player gets a Blackjack, then the player wins one and a half times the bet; if the player wins without getting a Blackjack, he gets even money. If the dealer wins, then the player loses his bet. If both sides tie, a "push" happens and neither side wins.
Play begins when each player and the dealer receive two cards. The first dealer card is placed on the table face up and the second card is placed face down. Jacks, Kings and Queens count as 10 points. Aces count as either a 1 or an 11. Number cards count as face value. Getting a face card with an Ace is a Blackjack.
If the player gets dealt two cards that total less than 21, the player may ask the dealer to hit – meaning, get another card. Players can get as many hits as they want as they attempt to get as close to 21 as possible without going over. If the player does not want to get any more cards, the player stands. Players can indicate that they want to hit or stand by scratching the table or waving hands from side to side, respectively.
Once all of the players stand on their totals – or have busted – the dealer flips his face down card over and begins playing his own hand. The dealer must stand on totals of 17 and higher.
Blackjack Tips
Players can increase their chances of winning or their take by practicing certain playing techniques.
- If the player has two of the same cards, the player may split the pair and work two separate hands. The player must bet an equal amount on the new hand. If the player splits Aces, each card only gets one hit.
- Players who are confident that they can win with only one more card can double down and bet more. The new bet cannot exceed the total of the original bet.
- Players can buy insurance when the dealer's face up card is an Ace. If the dealer gets a Blackjack, the original bet loses but the insurance pays 2 to 1. Insurance costs half of the original bet. If the dealer does not get a Blackjack, he keeps the insurance bet.

Actress Angeline Jolie's introductory scenes in Robert Stromberg's debut film Maleficent will be re-shot. The makers have roped in The Blind Side filmmaker John Lee Hancock to oversee the shoot.
Contactmusic.com reports that producer Joe Roth told The Hollywood Reporter that it was good to have Hancock on the set of the film.
"We asked (Hancock) to be on set. He's not directing. He wrote pages and I hired a first-time director and it's good to have him on set," he said.
The actress plays the sleeping beauty's evil nemesis in the upcoming project, which will tell the Sleeping Beauty tale from the perspective of the villainous Maleficent.

I stumbled upon a photo of a Great, Great Uncle, Wilford Herbert Coley, posted on a website. I e-mailed the lady who posted the picture and she forwarded my e-mail to her brother. As it turns out, the family has a number of film reels taken from the early 1960's. I asked him to share any that he thought I might be interested in. He indicated that one was from a funeral and it seemed to include extended family. He could only identify his grandfather, Wilford Herbert Coley, in the film.
On a hunch, I sent him this photo and informed him that it was taken 17 August 1961 at the burial of my Great, Great Grandmother, Martha Christiansen Coley, in Richmond, Utah. This is Wilford's mother and I knew he was at the funeral. I also knew that if the family was into filming events, this could very well be one such event to catch.
He responded to me stating the film was from the same funeral and it actually covered the carrying of the casket from the hearse, some scanning of the crowd, and then the final shots of the 10 siblings standing together in which this photo was taken. He shared the converted video from the film with me yesterday.
The 10 siblings in the picture above and film are as follows from left to right.
Arthur Christiansen Coley (Art), 1921-2004
William Golden Coley (Goldie), 1924-2009
Wilford Herbert Coley, 1903-1966
Roland Charles Coley, 1915-2005
Oley Lloyd Coley (Lloyd), 1918-1998
Edna Coley Neilson, 1900-1983
Hannah Marie Coley Thomson, 1909-1982
Carrie Christiansen Coley McMurdie, 1906-1992
Lillian Coley Jonas, 1898-1987
Ivan Stephen Coley, 1912-1994
The film starts out with children carrying flowers out of the church. I am pretty sure this is the old Richmond, Utah South Ward Building (demolished after the 1962 earthquake). I do not think we will be able to identify any of these girls because of how cloudy and short the video is at this point.
The film then moves to the Richmond, Utah Cemetery viewing the place where Martha will be laid to rest. Two girls appear in the background, again probably too short a span of time and too fuzzy to identify them.
We jump to the casket being carried by 6 men, the 6 male siblings. On the far side of the casket from right to left are Roland, Wilford, and Art. On the near side from right to left are Lloyd, Golden, and Ivan.
In the background right as the pallbearers appear with the casket are two girls dressed in white. The taller of the two are Connie Gittins (Wilford's granddaughter) and an unknown girl.
A young unidentified girl walks in front of the group bearing the casket.
Then we start the first scan of the crowd counter-clockwise from the south. These are the individuals:
Wilford Coley
Short boy in white that Bob Jonas steps in front of
Bob Jonas in white shirt
Steve Coley in white shirt
Gary Coley revealed when Steve Coley steps aside
Art Coley
Mary Coley (Art's wife and Bob, Steve, and Gary's mother)
Lillian Coley Jonas
Carrie Coley McMurdie
Edna Coley Neilson
Hannah Thomson
Tall guy in background (probably Lorenzo "Ren" Bowcutt?)
Lady in white in background
Tall thin man in background
Shorter man in foreground, very short time
Then we move to the 10 siblings back and forth as mentioned above in the photo.
The video is below. Be sure to open it in full screen and to have your mouse on the pause button so you can look more carefully.
If anyone can add more information, I certainly welcome it. I hope we can identify every person in the video but I think I hope for too much. After all, this was taken 40 years ago! Nevertheless, the video is interesting to see people living and moving who are now all gone from mortality.
For those interested, here is a copy of Lillian Coley Jonas' journal that includes this funeral. Martha died on the 14th of August 1961. I also include the other two journals we have for her.

Prominent Economists Debate Trade Deficits
Following Dan's and David's recent posts on the trade deficit and its (ir)relevance, allow me to draw readers' attention to the Economist's "By Invitation" blog, where invited prominent economists debate topical economic issues.
One of their current questions is: Should governments take any steps to boost exports? That's an important topic, and an especially timely one given the Obama administration's 'National Export Initiative,' a five‐year plan to double U.S. exports. All of us here at Cato's trade center have previously expressed skepticism about the feasiblity and/or wisdom of that plan, and Dan Ikenson blogged earlier today about the administration's apparent incoherence in pursuit of that goal.
The Economist's debate talks about industrial policy and export promotion in the abstract, rather than the NEI per se, but I recommend checking it out. Scott Sumner and Laurence Kotlikoff make especially good sense.

RIPE NCC Privacy Statement
This is a live document. We will keep reviewing our processes and updating the Privacy Statement accordingly.
1. Introduction
The RIPE NCC respects the privacy of your personal information and is committed to protecting the personal information that you provide. This RIPE NCC Privacy Statement applies to all personal information the RIPE NCC processes, including the collecting, publication, sharing and usage of personal information. The RIPE NCC Privacy Statement describes how the RIPE NCC processes your personal data and how you can access and make changes to your personal data.
2. Processing your personal data
The main purpose for which the RIPE NCC processes personal information is to support its role as a Regional Internet Registry (RIR). The main activity to fulfil this role is the registration and administration of Internet number resources, including the maintenance of the public RIPE Database (see 2.1).
Additionally, the RIPE NCC processes personal information for the purpose of performing activities for the benefit of the RIPE NCC members or for the benefit of the RIPE community (see 2.2).
2.1. Personal data in the RIPE Database
The public RIPE Database shows registration details of Internet number resources. The records may contain contact details (name, email address, phone and fax numbers and postal address) of persons responsible for the operation of networks or routers and/or for maintaining the information in the RIPE Database.
In some cases, the RIPE NCC provides the initial registration. Subsequently, the personal information pertaining to a specific registration is provided and maintained by a person authorised by, or acting on behalf of, the person or entity to which the Internet number resources have been registered. Updating is subject to an authentication and authorisation procedure (see 5). Please note that the RIPE NCC is not responsible for data entered into the RIPE Database by third parties. The party who enters personal data is responsible for keeping all data maintained by him accurate and up-to-date, including maintaining correct contact details (see 6).
The RIPE NCC publishes the contact details as part of the registration details of Internet number resources to make it possible for the RIPE NCC and the Internet network community to contact the appropriate persons when it is necessary:
- To secure the proper functioning of the Internet;
- To prevent or redress possible misuse of the Internet;
- To improve the quality of the data;
- To protect the information stored in the RIPE Database;
- To prevent any unauthorised modification of information stored in the RIPE Database;
- To ensure accountability for information entered into the RIPE Database.
In addition to publication of the RIPE Database, the RIPE Database may be mirrored to databases operated by other RIRs. The databases of other RIRs, furthermore, may be mirrored to databases operated by the RIPE NCC. This system allows users to retrieve from the RIR in their region data on all Internet resource registrations worldwide.
The RIPE NCC also, for the purposes specified above, allows proxy access to the RIPE Database via third parties. In addition, third parties use a Near Real Time Mirror (NRTM) of the RIPE Database excluding personal information.
Where necessary for the above purposes and to comply with statutory obligations, the RIPE NCC may also keep historical data (data that was published in the RIPE Database before the record was updated) and RIPE Database update requests.
Except as described herein or when under a statutory duty to do so, the RIPE NCC does not share or transfer any personal data.
2.2. Processing your personal data for other purposes
In addition to the collection and use of personal data in relation to the RIPE Database, the RIPE NCC provides other services and activities that may require the processing of your personal information. These include:

A few weeks ago one of my awesome readers, Allie, wrote asking me to make a post about how I stay in shape. (blush). I promised her I would, but then hesitated because I know there are zillions of women out there who put me to fitness shame. I can already see all of the mean, trolling comments about how I'm a total chubber* who needs to shove another twinkie in her mouth and stop doling out advice on how to be thin.
My word is my bond, yo', so I'm writing the post today.
The truth is, I don't do anything drastic. I basically (subconsciously) follow several easy rules drilled into my brain by my *extremely* healthy family.
Let's talk about my fam for a sec, ok? My parents who are in their 50's have worked out 6 days per week for as long as I can remember. They hit the gym in their basement every morning (except Sundays) for about an hour and a half. Even if it's Christmas day.
No joke.
My dad is just a health guru. For some people, I think understanding health is just innate, and that seems to really be the case for him. He knew that artificial sweeteners were dangerous way before anyone else acknowledged it. He taught me a lot of truths about keeping our bodies in shape without even trying.
I used to work out every day, like them, but it just isn't a possibility at this season or even something I enjoy. So instead, I have an active lifestyle. I *used to* do a lot of fun workout DVDs that revolve around dance (see below), too.
Besides- it's much easier to control your weight by watching what you eat. It takes a *much* longer time to burn off 100 calories than it does to eat them. My grandma always said, "in your mouth for a minute, on your bum for a year!" and it's true. I don't really advocate for diets because they never last, instead just do everything in moderation. If I go all nuts and sugar free for a month (which I often do after Christmas), I tend to really want to binge. If I allow myself one sweet in moderation each day, it's much easier to get through life. Michael Pollan, food genius, says we can eat as many sweets as we want- as long as we prepare them ourselves! It takes more work to make it than to buy it. Plus, when you make it, you can control how healthy it is. Try subbing in applesauce or yogurt in place of butter and oil in baked goods. I can't remember the last time I used butter or oil and I can't taste the difference. You can often cut the amount of sugar that goes into your treats as well without seeing a difference in the taste. Our stuff is way too sugary in America and sugar is POISON. Plus it makes you gain a lot of weight, people. Read THIS POST. Don't just make your own desserts- make your own food, too. Prepared food is usually full of all the stuff you don't want in your body. Restaurant food is almost never safe. Save your waistline AND your wallet by eating in.
Things to auto-skip? Processed food + fast food. Don't eat them. They aren't good for you. Have you seen the 2/4/6 year old Happy Meal? No? Then google it. My brother did the same thing several years ago when we was teaching at U of M. Left it out for 3 months. Ran it under the microscopes (chemist) ... it hadn't rotted. Nasty. Processed food is the same, it's full of junk you don't want in your bod.
Another word about calories- eat your calories, don't drink them. I only drink water- except for a once per week coffee date with my boy. I really recommend that you drink water if you want to get in shape. Did you know that often when we reach for food, thinking we're hungry, it's actually that we are thirsty? Try drinking a glass of water and waiting 20 minutes before reaching for a snack next time you think you need one. You'd be shocked how many calories (and grams of sugar!) are packed into a can/glass of soda. You will actually lose weight simply from cutting pop + other calorie laden drinks from you diet. And hey- juice isn't super healthy either. Eat a piece of fruit and skip the juice.
If you need help transitioning into a water-only lifestyle, check out THIS POST about flavored water. It's really helpful for my pop-addicted hubs.
You *must* read French Women Don't Get Fat which is one of the greatest health books of all time, due to it's simplicity. It's worthy every penny, I promise. There's something to be said for lifestyle, we don't necessarily need all of these intense diet and workout programs, we just need to return to simplicity. Reduced portion sizes, learning to say 'no' to the massive (or second) piece of cake. Movement. Self-prepared food. These results aren't overnight, but they're long term and lifetime lasting.
More great books? In Defense of Food from Michael Pollan (or the easier version: Food Rules). I also love Body Shape Solution and Eat Right 4 Your Type. The latter two are diet books that revolve around eating for your body chemistry. They're good for weight loss, but I only use elements of each as staying on anything even close to a regimented diet is impossible for me.
The bottom line for me is "all things in moderation" and constant movement. Hopefully this helps you- I'm sure I'll add more parts to the post as they come to me. Remember that health and not "skinny" should be your goal. Everyone is built with a different structure, love and accept yours.

Have a lovely day, and as always, thanks for reading!
* I do not think I'm chubby. I just know that trolls say really mean things and wouldn't be surprised if someone challenged my cred for writing about fitness :)

Pre-Launch Phase: #Public #Speaking What Amazing Nonsense you Are Talking! pic.twitter.com/VQUl8bm2zz
— Thomas Jerome Baker (@profesortbaker) September 11, 2013
To be a good public speaker, never give up. Face your fear. "Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced." ~ James Baldwin
In this book, I share my story, from a variety of angles, of how I face my fear of public speaking. I don't preach, I don't lay out a magic formula. I simply share different ways I deal with public speaking, from a variety of viewpoints, stories, activities, some old, some new.
I study people, I do what ancient speakers did to train themselves, like Demosthenes, an ancient Greek lawyer from Athens who was often humiliated and made fun of due to a speech impediment before becoming a much admired public speaker. And then who can forget England's King George, a man with a stammer and a nation to lead. To lead a nation, in wartime, you must speak to your people – in public – in spite of your speech impediment, despite the stammer, despite the fear.
I share people and stories and activities that helped me. I am convinced you will be helped, there is something here that will aid you in overcoming your fear. At the very least, by knowing my experience, you will know that public speaking fear is normal, and using the information that helped me, begin to search for your own way of dealing with your fear.
In fact, it must be your way. You are the one who suffers, and you must help yourself. Know you are not alone. I admit that speaking in public scares me to death, and I am a teacher of English, a leader, a person responsible for helping young people reach their full human potential.
Nonetheless, I am afraid of public speaking, always have been, and always will be. That fear is constant. It is a feeling of sheer terror, when you are about to open your mouth in public, and risk humiliation if what you say, or don't say, is foolish.
It is the kind of fear that is best resolved by simply, well…just being quiet, literally keeping your mouth closed. Except that doesn't make the problem go away, it only defers it for another day. It's like being haunted by a ghost, when the night comes, the phantom returns, the fear of public speaking visits us again.
Most people are afraid of public speaking, many to the point of a phobia. I am afraid of public speaking, just like you are. We worry about being embarrassed, making a fool of ourselves, getting humiliated by something we said. In fact, some people become absolutely terrified, paralysed, by the very thought of being shamed by public speaking.
In fact, many studies have shown that people fear public speaking more than death! This makes sense to me. Death happens only once, with public speaking we die a thousand deaths!
A common myth about the fear of public speaking is that it's possible to completely eliminate it. In my case, I can't eliminate it, but I have learned to control it, to make it work for me, not against me. You can too.
Even the most confident public speakers, people like Bill Gates, Barack Obama, Tina Fey, Warren Buffet, Socrates, Aristotle, Demosthenes, Cicero, Thomas Jerome Baker, will all tell you that they feel some degree of anxiety before stepping in front of an audience. Call it stage fright or phobia. Call it fear or simply nervous anticipation.
The fact is, we all have to overcome nervousness when we have to talk in front of a group, large or small. As the stakes get higher, you will feel anxiety. The most common way to try to eliminate your public speaking phobia is by "desensitization". As with any phobia, you have to put yourself through the anxiety-inducing experience so many times, again and again, until your body stops reacting to it, or until you learn how to make your nervousness and anxiety work in your favor, and not against you.
However, not only is this a long, difficult process, but most people give up before they reap the rewards for their efforts. If I have a secret, again, it's this: be perseverant. Never give up, and you will become the best public speaker you can be.

Even the birds on the trees have heard all about Google Glass by now. It is the latest in bringing science fiction to our doorsteps and our heads, to be more precise. Some say that it is the best thing since the wheel while others see it as nothing but a fad that will pass once people realize it is more bother than it is worth. We would like to take the middle (some might say) the high road and say that the truth is something in the middle. We are sure that there are a lot of potentially great uses for Google Glass and the entire idea of augmented reality glasses. One thing that many people do not think about is the competition. Well, the competition is already here and it is making quite big splashes.
Introducing Epson Moverio BT-200
Introducing Epson Moverio BT-200. Most people know Epson as a manufacturer of printers and similar products, all high quality but not something you think of as revolutionary. And the interesting thing is that Moverio BT-200 is not their first foray into the world of augmented reality glasses. Their older model, Moverio BT-100 has been around for some time and we have to say, as much as we think that it is great someone else than Google is doing something in this field, that it was not a resounding success.
That being said, we actually believe that Moverio BT-200 has a lot going for it and that it might just give its faaaaaar more publicized and talked about competitor a run for its money. The reason why we think this might be the case is far more complex than just comparing the specifications, which may not actually give a clear winner. However, we will still do the comparison just to make sure we have covered all the bases.
For one, we have 960 x 540 pixels for Moverio BT-200 and 640 x 360 for Google, which may seem like a clear victory for Epson. However, it needs to be said that the Google Glass' display is actually quite smaller when projected, which means that the resolutions are somewhere equal. Google Glass' storage capacity is 12 GB usable space while Moverio BT-200 comes with only 4 GB (with optional 32 GB on a microSDHC card. They both come with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth connectivity, magnetic compass, gyroscope, etc.
Google Glass connects to the smartphone wirelessly while Moverio BT-200 needs a wire that connects it to a controller unit. We understand that this can be a huge thing for many people and we will give our vote to Google on this front.
We also need to talk about the software support where Google is already ahead and where Google will keep staying ahead, even though the people from Epson are doing everything they can to involve developers and to encourage development of new apps and services. This is one where the future will give us a winner.
Then, there is the price and this is where Epson really makes a killing. Namely, while Google Glass will set you back $1,500; you can buy yourself a pair of Moverio BT-200 for $699.99. It is obvious that when it comes to the price, Google cannot touch Epson.
Other details
However, in the end, it all comes down to the way the companies are positioning their products and this is the main reason why we believe that Epson has a nice chance to get their share of the market. The thing is that Moverio BT-200 has been, from the day one, marketed as a professional aid. For instance, they are marketing their product as being able to help engineers, people who do intricate repairs and even medical personnel. This is not saying that they do not believe their product is fun, but they tend to cater more to the professional crowd that will actually use augmented reality for something other than fun and shopping, which seems to be the predominant direction Google is going with their Glass in Ray Ban style. Some people may have thought that this competition was lost by Epson even before it started, but we think otherwise. Only time will tell.

It's our privilege to tell you about a recent blog post that features CFCA and announces an exciting new collaboration.
The post is titled "Blogging for a Purpose" by Leslie Reese.
After six years of CFCA sponsorship, Leslie has graciously shared her experience on her blog and plans to dedicate a page to CFCA. Here's an excerpt from her post:
I decided to sponsor a child from Guatemala. She was 12 years old at the time. At that moment, I felt like I had done my good deed for the day. Little did I know, I was not just changing the life of this child, but my own life as well. It wasn't long before I was receiving letters and photos of my newly sponsored child. It was wonderful to watch her progress and I was overwhelmed with the gratitude that she expressed in each letter that was sent. I knew I was making a difference.
I am extremely impressed by the work that CFCA does and I am thrilled to be a part of such a wonderful organization. In an effort to collaborate with the CFCA community, I will be dedicating a page on my blog specifically to this foundation. I plan to bring you inspiring stories and information about the many people involved. I will be sharing special recipes from the countries where our sponsored friends live.

Thank you for your support, Leslie.
We invite you to click on Leslie's post and leave a comment for her. This helps show our support for her efforts to tell others about CFCA's work!

The Greenlite Lighting 55W/ELS/50K 55 Watt High Wattage CFL Spiral Bulb in bright white replaces a 250W incandescent bulb, and helps you save money by saving energy. It lasts up to 9 years based on using it for 3 hours per day, and uses 75% less energy than incandescent bulbs. The High Wattage CFL Spiral Bulb lasts up to 10,000 hours and equals 10 standard incandescent bulbs. It has a flicker-free start and 5000 degree color temperature. You won't even be able to tell the difference until you see the new electricity bill. Ideal use for warehouses, cathedral roofs, and agriculture.
This product is also available in 55 Watt High Wattage CFL Spiral Bulb - Soft White.
What is a CFL?
A compact fluorescent light bulb (CFL) is a type of fluorescent lamp designed to replace an incandescent bulb. CFLs are the most energy efficient lighting available. Like other energy-efficient products, high quality CFLs bear the Energy Star symbol, demonstrating to consumers they are among the most energy-efficient on the market. Energy Star-approved CFLs, such as those produced by Greenlite, must meet numerous requirements that include: using at least two-thirds less energy than standard incandescent while providing the same amount of light; lasting 10 times longer than incandescent; saving $30 or more in energy costs over a bulb's lifetime; and generating less heat than incandescent bulbs.
CFLs Environmental and Economic Benefits
Regular incandescent bulbs waste energy: 90 percent of their energy is used to produce heat, not light. CFLs save energy and help lower electricity costs because they use 75 percent less energy than incandescent bulbs, thereby requiring only one-quarter of the energy consumed by incandescent. For example, a 13-watt CFL produces the same light as a 60-watt incandescent bulb, saving about 45 watts each hour it is lit.
Estimates show that if every person replaced just one incandescent bulb with an Energy Star CFL, greenhouse gas emissions would be reduced by about 400,000 tonnes each year - the equivalent of taking 70,000 cars off the road each year.
The average home has about 30 light fixtures that consume about $200 in electricity costs each year. If just five incandescent bulbs using three hours of light each day were replaced with Energy Star-approved CFL light bulbs, a homeowner could save $30 each year.
CFLs help to save the environment in other ways too. Because Energy Star CFLs are required to last 10 times longer than incandescent bulbs, fewer bulbs and packaging are sent to landfill sites. And using less energy and fewer bulbs reduces emissions from power plants and helps protect the environment from the risk of global climate change.
CFLs and Mercury
CFLs are perfectly safe to use in homes. Each bulb contains a very small amount of mercury -- an average of three milligrams - about the same amount it would take to cover the tip of a ballpoint pen. The mercury dissipates when the bulb burns out, leaving no harmful toxins. There is no health risk if a bulb breaks because the amount of mercury is minute and in vapor form so it dissipates immediately leaving no harmful toxins. As Energy Star states, when a CFL breaks there is more harm from broken glass than mercury. Currently, using mercury in the manufacturing of the bulbs is necessary because there is no other substance that can replace the efficiency properties of mercury to produce fluorescent light. However, in recent years the mercury content has been drastically reduced and research is underway to develop bulbs that use even less mercury.
Safe Disposal of CFLs
Ideally, CFLs should be recycled. Many municipalities accept CFLs that are placed in plastic bags in the blue recycling box. However, regulations on proper disposal of CFLs differ by province. Check with their local municipalities to inquire about disposal programs and regulations in their area.

This is one of the first crafts I'd ever posted online. I used to belong to a community called Craftster.org (waaaay back in the day). It's still around but I rarely remember to visit. However, it pops up on my radar about this time of year. One of my crafts was featured in their Valentine's Day collection on the forum. And now that Pinterest is here, my old post keeps resurfacing.
My problem is I took the pics and posted them in a bit of a rush. And seeing those photos back in circulation kinda makes me cringe. So I decided to re-take the photos and create a new post.
I am able to do it because 1) the boypiece still proudly displays my project and 2) he lives under the same roof. Which makes it simple to steal it back and retake the pics!
So here it is, back again, my "52 Reasons Valentine Deck of Cards" (ps. If you want to check out the original post from 2008, you can find it HERE)
At the time when I made this, there were a few other versions out there. I decided to use the full deck of cards instead of just using cards as the "book cover" with cardstock pages. I also used ribbon instead of jump rings to bind the pages. There are still a few other versions out there, but this is just how I did it :) Oh and one other HUGE difference, mine says "like" instead of "love". And it's still relevant today, since we prefer not to use that other word (strange, I know).
Supply list:
- 1 full deck of playing cards
- 1 foot of red ribbon
- paper hole punch
- glue stick
- scissors
- personal photos and clip art from the internet
- computer
Quite possibly the most difficult part of this entire project was coming up with the 52 reasons! It probably wouldn't be so hard these days. But at the time I made this, we had only been dating a year and a half. Although, all the reasons are still true to this day :)
Step 1) Open up any word processing program on your computer and start typing out your reasons. They can be silly or sentimental...mix it up!
Step 2) Once you've got your reasons, it's time to figure out what pictures best compliment your words. I used a lot of clip art (yay, Google!) and a few personal photos from my computer
Step 3) Print everything out and cut down to size
Step 4) Spread out your deck and arrange your pics/text on the cards. Don't forget to leave the Joker cards for your front and back cover!
Step 5) Use your paper punch to add two holes to each card. I suggest punching the holes prior to gluing down your pages!
Step 6) Using your glue stick, secure each text/photo combo to their playing card
Step 7) Once the glue has dried, arrange the pages in the order you prefer
Step 8) Tie your ribbon through the holes and finish it off with a bow!
I also added a special Happy Valentine's Day message on the joker used as the back cover :)
The most time consuming part is finding the pics to use and coming up with the 52 reasons. If you can do that fairly quickly, you could throw this together as a last-minute gift! It's also great for birthdays or anniversaries if you don't really celebrate Valentine's ;)
Pin It
Have fun creating! And Happy Valentines Day!

Abstract: Economic theory predicts that military conscription is associated with static inefficiencies as well as with dynamic distortions of the accumulation of human and physical capital. Relative to an economy with an allvolunteer force, output levels and growth rates should be lower in countries that rely on a military draft to recruit their army personnel. For OECD countries, we show that military conscription indeed has a statistically significantly negative impact on economic performance. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7714

Should Mom Go Back to Work?
- Deborah Nayrocker, M.Ed. Crosswalk.com Contributing Writer
- 2011 6 Jul
Dear Deborah,
Do you have any guidelines to help a mother decide if it is beneficial financially to go back to work once her child/children go to preschool or kindergarten?
As a parent, you probably already know what kind of lifestyle you want for you and your family as your children are growing up.
Couples need to discuss what they want for their family. It's up to the parents to come to an agreement on what's truly important and how they can best achieve this for their family.
Some mothers think they won't be able to pay the bills if they don't work outside the home. Parents often forget about the extra expenses when they both work and when they have children who need to be looked after.
There are many evenings of take out food due to time constraints or exhaustion. Hundreds of dollars are spent on upgrading the wardrobe for work. Child care costs can add up to thousands of dollars every year.
You'll want to crunch the numbers to find what you will be realistically earning per month.
Second Income Worksheet
Gross Income __________
Estimated taxes __________
Deductions (Social Security, etc.) __________
Net Spendable Income __________
Second Income Expenses:
Transportation (Gas, parking, etc.) __________
Child care __________
Clothing __________
Lunches at work, snacks, drinks __________
Dining out (instead of home cooking) __________
Additional work expenses __________
Total Expenses _______
Net Monthly Income __________
Although we may think it is difficult to live on one income, it can be manageable. A reader, T.P., wrote me and explained how he and his wife have lived well on his income. He writes:
"[We have] lived frugally on one income, driving one car, carpooling for everything (work, extracurricular activities, etc.), biking or walking. We are smart shoppers, we garden, and my wife Shelley bakes a lot from scratch. She sews and is a good financial manager. We bought a house with sufficient space for a lot less than what the banks wanted to lend us and thus have been mortgage free for more than ten years. We have been able to put all three of our children through their first college degree, been able to give away lots of money to causes and people we believe in, and even were able to give younger couples interest-free loans."
T.P. is deeply convinced that we have bought into the wrong dream. He says, "The fact that Christians are in the same kind of [financial] trouble as the average Americans speaks volumes, and we have become 'of the world.'"
This reader and his wife are examples of many families who are living contentedly on one income. Not only have they been able to live well. Having been thrifty and smart with money, they have been generous with others.
These one-income families have chosen to not live on credit. They have chosen to not buy the biggest or the most expensive things, such as cars or houses. They have a huge advantage when times get leaner and adjustments need to be made.
Deborah Nayrocker writes on personal money management topics, showing others how to take control of their financial future. An award-winning writer, she is the author of The Art of Debt-Free Living and Bible study Living a Balanced Financial Life.
