USDA Announces Decision to Deregulate Genetically Engineered Corn
WASHINGTON, Feb. 11, 2011 - The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) is announcing its decision to deregulate corn genetically engineered (GE) to produce a common enzyme called alpha-amylase that breaks down starch into sugar, thereby facilitating a vital step in ethanol production.
"APHIS conducted a plant pest risk assessment and found this line of corn does not pose a plant pest risk, and should no longer be subject to regulation by APHIS," said Michael Gregoire, deputy administrator for APHIS' biotechnology regulatory services. "APHIS' deregulation decision is based on the findings of our plant pest risk assessment and environmental assessment."
Syngenta Seeds, Inc., requested that APHIS grant nonregulated status to its alpha-amylase corn (Event 3272) in 2005. In 2008, APHIS prepared a plant pest risk assessment as required by the Plant Protection Act and an environmental assessment in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act. Both documents were made available for public review and comment, and APHIS received more than 13,000 comments.
APHIS recognizes that certain milling and food-processing stakeholder groups have concerns about this corn variety being deregulated and potential impacts on wet-milling operations. We are pleased that these segments of industry continue to dialogue with Syngenta on research and testing efforts, and encourage these parties to continue their efforts to resolve the issues that remain.
Syngenta has committed to several important steps to address some stakeholder concerns, such as forming an industry advisory council to review the closed loop system the company has in place for amylase corn. Syngenta has invited USDA to be a part of the council, and USDA will participate. Syngenta is also willing to share information on amylase corn production, within appropriate legal and privacy limits, with members of the advisory council.
APHIS has regulated this line of corn through its notification and permitting process since 2002. The corn successfully completed the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's food/feed safety consultation in August 2007.
Notice of this decision will be published later in the Federal Register.
USDA is an equal opportunity provider, employer and lender. To file a complaint of discrimination, write: USDA, Director, Office of Civil Rights, 1400 Independence Avenue, S.W., Washington, D.C. 20250-9410 or call (800) 795-3272 (voice), or (202) 720-6382 (TDD).

New Zealand is considering a system which would pay whistleblowers to come forward with fraud-related tips.
Serious Fraud Office acting chief executive Simon McArley said a reward scheme had been discussed between the government departments.
"It's at an early policy state. But there have been some discussions."
Bernie Madoff whistleblower Harry Markopolos, who is in town as part of an international economic crime conference, said a reward system for tips set up in America since global financial crisis was prompting more people to come forward.
Markopolos said it received seven to eight complaints per day through the tip-off scheme and past experience showed around 20 per cent turned into something more serious.
The American Congress had approved US$452 million for the tip-off fund but so far only US$50,000 had been paid out.
Markopolos said the whistleblower system helped fraud investigators get hold of "smoking gun" emails and saved scarce government resources.
Markopolos said ponzi-operators tended to be off the radar - they did not register with the authorities and the authorities often only found out about them when investors rang them to say they had not been paid their money.
But other countries have not gone down the reward route. The United Kingdom does not have a reward scheme and neither does Europe.
Giovanni Kessler, director general of the European Antifraud Office, said the focus was more on protecting the whistle-blower so they did not suffer any retaliation.
"For a whistle-blower the existence of a reward is not the main issue - the point is to be protected in their career."
McArley said he would be open to anything that encouraged people to come forward with information.
McArley is hoping Markopolos' visit to New Zealand will help New Zealanders to identify future financial rip-offs.
Markopolos will speak at a public seminar today ahead of a two-day private conference of leaders from economic crime agencies from around the world.
Markopolos, a quantitative financial specialist, began to get suspicious about the Madoff scheme nine years before it imploded after his boss asked him to create an investment product with similar returns.
The scheme fell apart in 2008 and Madoff was convicted and given a 150-year sentence in 2009.
McArley said that in the past two years the Serious Fraud Office had dealt with six actual or alleged Ponzi schemes with total losses likely to be more than $500 million.
"The presentation from Harry Markopolos is timely given the recent conviction in the B'On case and the suspicions around Ross Asset Management."
B'On principal Jacqui Bradley was last year found guilty of 75 fraud-related charges involving the loss of $15.5 million. Ross Asset Management collapsed before Christmas and is now being investigated.
McArley said New Zealanders could learn a lot from Markopolos.
"Hopefully we can learn the lessons from him that will enable the SFO to continue its drive towards prevention and early intervention and thereby minimise the impact of such frauds on people and the economy."
*look out for returns that are too good to be true
*no separation of the investment manager and the money is cause for concern
*double check your investment statements
*make sure the assets that were bought or sold on your behalf were done at the listed price for that day

This is an update of a deal I posted about a year ago.
Much as I love my TiVo, I despise the monthly subscription fees that go along with it. It can literally cost you a couple hundred bucks per year. As Dr. Smith would say, "Oh, the pain!" (Don't get the reference? Ask your parents. If they watched cheesy 60s sci-fi, that is.)
A much cheaper option over the long haul: Ceton's InfiniTV 4 products, which can turn a Windows PC into a pretty sweet DVR.
For a limited time, Newegg has Ceton InfiniTV 4 USB for $169.99 shipped. And it comes with a free USB mouse and keyboard, a rather head-scratching giveaway because anyone going the couch route with their media center needs a wireless mouse and keyboard. Its value: $7.99. Woo!
Originally the InfiniTV 4 USB sold for $299.99, but for a while now it's been priced at $199.99. So the savings today aren't monumental -- but it's still the best deal I've seen on this adapter.
At the risk of gushing, I take my TV very seriously -- and I absolutely love the InfiniTV 4. I ran the PCI version for about a year, and for the past year-plus have been using the USB model. The latter has performed like a champ. But as with anything Windows- and CableCard-related, your mileage may vary.
The InfiniTV 4 plays host to a CableCard tuner from your cable company. Once installed, it bestows four digital tuners. Those tuners can receive all your HD and premium channels -- pretty much everything the cable company offers except for on-demand and pay-per-view programming.
Plus, there's no monthly fee on top of what you're already paying for cable. Windows Media Center is free, and built right into all versions of Windows 7 except Basic. (Windows 8 users, annoyingly, have to pony up extra.) What's more, when I ditched my Comcast DVR for a CableCard, it actually lowered my Comcast bill a few bucks each month.
Want to learn more about the InfiniTV 4 USB? Alas, CNET hasn't reviewed it, but I have. Bottom line: I loved it then, and still love it today.
Do make sure your PC has sufficient horsepower for HDTV viewing and recording, and that your cable company can set you up with a CableCard. If all that checks out, you're golden. By the way, if it's not practical or desirable for you to connect your PC to your TV, an Xbox 360 makes an awesome Media Center Extender.
Bonus deal: While you're at Newegg, why not re-up your security subscription? By which I mean, get Norton Internet Security 2013 3-user for free after a $50 mail-in rebate (PDF). It also includes a product key for Corel WinZip 17 Standard, a $29.95 value. NIS remains a top-rated security solution, and although there are permanently free alternatives, why not get commercial-grade stuff if you can?
Bonus deal No. 2: Last time I wrote about an MP3 player, lots of people asked for a deal on the SanDisk Sansa Clip. Well, here you go! Newegg (them again!) has the refurbished Sansa Clip+ 4GB MP3 player for $19.99 shipped. The reviews are surprisingly mixed, though -- surprising because most of the people I heard from positively gushed about this cute little player, which can clip onto your person, play both music and FM radio, record audio, and display it all on an OLED screen. Thoughts?

We've all seen the pretty pictures. Colored scans, produced by techniques that measure blood flow or the movement of a tracer chemical, reveal the activity of areas of the brain when we are thinking about something. The revolution in imaging in the past couple of decades has taught us a lot about what the brain is doing while we cogitate. One thing we've learned is that those more active areas aren't always the same from brain to brain when considering a certain problem. Not all brains are the same size or shape, as you might expect, but they also think differently.
So where does intelligence arise? Neuroscientist Richard J. Haier poses that question in our cover story, "What Does a Smart Brain Look Like?" Just as occurs with other types of processing, how we think when we are solving tasks differs among individuals. "Two people with the same IQ may solve a problem with equal speed and accuracy, each using a very different network of brain areas," Haier writes. It may be time for a new definition of intelligence, he proposes, based on the size of key brain areas and how efficiently they manage information flow. Could brain scans someday show our aptitude for a given subject, helping us figure out what topics to focus on for our best success?
Intelligence not only exists in various places in the brain, it's variable as well. We all know people who seem perfectly smart and yet have made poor decisions at critical junctures. As it turns out, there's a reason for that: it is possible to test high in IQ yet to suffer from a logical-thought defect known as dysrationalia. In "Rational and Irrational Thought: The Thinking That IQ Tests Miss," neuroscientist Keith E. Stanovich provides two causes. One is that people are often cognitive misers—taking the easy way out when trying to solve problems, which leads them to make errors. Second, they may lack the specific knowledge, rules or strategies to handle a situation. Stanovich argues that tests that can measure dysrationalia should be conducted more often to identify the flaw, the better to manage it. Sounds smart to us.

To me, wearing colored bottoms feels more purposeful and deliberate than a typical denim. I can pair them with a simple sweater and have an outfit that works for a day off or work day and it looks like I put more effort in to choosing my outfit than I actually did. Part of that is colored bottoms appear less casual than jeans, but are often just as comfortable! Whether it's for a maternity wardrobe or not, I highly recommend adding a pair of colored bottoms to your closet!

These shades look so good on you! I love the colored denim too!ReplyDelete
Great color combination for fall! Burgundy pants/jeans are so versatile and look great with so many other colors.ReplyDelete
Your style looks gorgeous, Luara!ReplyDelete
I love your maternity style, and these burgundy pants look great on you! I love the shade paired with the navy!ReplyDelete
You are looking great! I have been branching out to colored denim more and have really been liking it. That's a great idea to also incorporate it into your maternity style. Beautifully CandidReplyDelete
Love the color of your pants and how you've styled them, Laura! So chic! Just beautiful!ReplyDelete
Hi Laura! I absolutely loved the combination. I agree with you when you say that there are just some pieces that cannot be missed in every closet! For me, a basic T-shirt with stripes in basic colors like navy&white, or b&w are my go to, and I couldn't help but put a couple of them in my luggage to move abroad. I think a couple of colored pants or trousers are also to be never missed!ReplyDelete
Thanks for the comment in my blog, by the way :)
These burgundy pants are so lovely on you, babe!ReplyDelete

I'm loving those pants paired with the blazer! Such a great color combo and style! xo Jana | http://www.janastyleblog.com/2017/10/velvet-embroidery-summit-fair.htmlReplyDelete
I love the blazer and pants! The colors go so well together!ReplyDelete
Oh I love the mix of colors in this outfit! The burgundy shade with the navy blue is so so pretty! XxReplyDelete
I love the burgundy trousers, they pair so well with the navy jacket. When I was pregnant I only had one pair of jeans and a few dresses. The jeans were very ill-fitting and kept falling down! Maternity fashion has improved so much over the last few years.ReplyDelete

Hello Laura. It's lovely to meet you. Gosh when I was pregnant, swing dresses and leggings were my staple. You look fabulous! Mimi xxxReplyDelete
Seriously, you have the cutest little bump ever!ReplyDelete
I think colored denim does give an outfit a little more impact. I really love my burgundy denim, too! I have been wearing it a lot this fall so far.ReplyDelete
I wore something so similar today but with jeans! You look great!ReplyDelete
xo Jules
you look amazing!!!! Love your maternity style!ReplyDelete
You've done such a great job making unique and stylish outfits while you've been pregnant!ReplyDelete
I love colored jeans! You look adorable.ReplyDelete
Love your outfit! Stripes are always best and you're combo looks super stylish.ReplyDelete
Xo, Sara | missesviolet
I only owned very few basic pieces in neutral colors while pregnant but I wore many items from my regular non-maternity closet all the way till the day I had to go in for her birth. I love these deep plum pants. Plum or burgundy is always a winner paired with navy. =)ReplyDelete
Nice and perfect looking outfit..ReplyDelete

Accommodation and facilities:
Останавливались в отеле в середине декабря 2012. Территории у отеля нет. В номере замечательная терраса. Есть диван. Просьба застелить диван для ребенка стоила 800 бат в день. Убирались так себе, за 5 ночей постельное белье не меняли. Персонал вообще очень ненавязчивый и кажется не знал что нужно делать. Отель расположен с краю бухты. Вход в море каменистый. Чтобы купаться мы ходили на середину бухты метров 500 - 700. там вход был песчаный, и пляж шире. Море чистое, прозрачное, очень теплое. Красивый закат. Есть где покушать. Рядом магазин 7-11. Есть обменник, несколько массажных салонов, магазинчиков и тур. агентств. Не многолюдно и для нас это был плюс, хотя отель был заселен полностью. Цена завышена,т.к. отель староват. Бухта в которой расположен отель очень красивая.Отелей значительно меньше чем на севере, но для нас это тоже был плюс.

A lovely hotel with a fantastic location literally on the beach. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The only downside is the lack of privacy between the room balconies. However, the view from your bed of a morning is sensational.

Nepal: Humanitarian Transition Appeal 2009
Following a decade of civil conflict (1996-2006), Nepal has undergone extensive political transition. The country was declared a Federal Democratic Republic on 28 May 2008, ending 240 years of monarchy. Against this change and hopes for lasting peace, however, lies extreme vulnerability caused by years of violence, frequent natural disasters and displacement.
Eight million Nepalese live in poverty and 40 percent of the population is undernourished. Child malnutrition rates rank among the highest in the world, with nearly one out of two children suffering stunted growth. In 2008, severe flooding in eastern and western regions affected more than 250 000 people. On 18 August, the Koshi River burst its eastern embankment, inundating four Village Development Committees in Sunsari district. Heavy rains followed from 19 to 21 September, which spread further flood damage to mid- and far-western regions. Some 50 000 people remain displaced. Soaring food and commodity costs also caused vulnerability to skyrocket in 2008. The number of people in need of food assistance (2.7 million) increased by 1.4 million over the course of the past year.
Nepal is a food deficit country despite the fact that agriculture is the primary contributor to economic growth. Recurrent natural disasters and years of conflict have severely jeopardized food production and thus the livelihoods of millions of rural poor. The 2009 Humanitarian Transition Appeal for Nepal, launched on 19 January, seeks USD 115 million to provide emergency, preparedness and transition support within a 12-month timeframe to assist Nepalese most in need. Based on increased food insecurity and the higher cost of inputs and transport, financial requirements for food- and nutrition-related interventions have risen by 12 percent of overall funding needs as compared with 2008.
Challenges facing food security and livelihoods
Three-quarters of Nepal's population depends on agriculture for its livelihood – many as subsistence farmers. However, most households only produce enough to meet their basic food needs for three to six months. Livelihoods are continually at risk as Nepal is frequently struck by natural disasters and situated in one of the world's most seismically active zones. The steep rise in global costs has deepened pockets of poverty. This has exhausted farmers' ability to afford livelihood inputs as well as to buy produce to supplement their food needs.
Among the extreme poor, 90 percent of households faced a food shortage this season. Although a large proportion of flood-affected families have returned to their villages, many have not received crop and livestock support packages to recover their livelihoods. Further, displacement has placed strain on the already scarce resources of host communities. Without support to rehabilitate the agriculture sector, the poorest segments of Nepal's population will plunge further into poverty and malnutrition, particularly women and children. Urgent action is needed to ensure that families dependent on agriculture receive inputs to restart production, generate income and increase their resilience to future shocks.
FAO response
The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has been working with Government institutions, farmers and herders in Nepal for over 50 years. As the lead United Nations agency for agriculture, FAO offers technical expertise to strengthen food security, from improving practices in the field, to building capacity at institutional level to better support needs within the sector. Within the framework of the 2009 Humanitarian Transition Appeal for Nepal, FAO has requested USD 4.2 million to improve the food security of households most affected by natural disasters, conflict and global price increases. With donor funding, FAO's activities will:
- carry out needs assessments to confirm priorities in the crop and livestock sectors;
- supply farmers with quality production assets (seeds, tools, fertilizer) to restore food production;
- deliver veterinary inputs to safeguard the health and productivity of livestock; and
- provide training and technical guidance on improved crop and livestock practices as well as disaster preparedness and mitigation.

Call it a comeback: Boy bands back on music scene
NEW YORK (AP) -- It seems like we can never say goodbye, bye, bye to boy bands.
A decade after 'N Sync and the Backstreet Boys dominated the entertainment world, boy bands have returned and are making a comeback.
One Direction, the British quintet that placed third on the U.K.'s "X Factor" in 2010, will see its album "Up All Night" debut high on Billboard's Top 200 albums chart this week. The Wanted, another U.K.-based quintet, is spending its second week at No. 4 on Billboard's Hot 100 singles chart with the jam "Glad You Came."
Big Time Rush, a four-member boy band that also has a hit Nickelodeon show readying its third season, recently wrapped a sold-out tour at New York's Radio City Music Hall, and will embark on a larger U.S. and Canadian trek this summer. And Mindless Behavior, formed by the man who discovered Lady Gaga -- record executive Vincent Herbert -- debuted at No. 2 on the R&B charts in late 2010 with its album "(hash)1 Girl," and has toured with Janet Jackson and Justin Bieber, among others.
"It's just exploding," said Ernie D., the creative director and on-air personality for Radio Disney. "It's really amazing to see, especially on my end, hearing all the calls from the listeners. ... So that fever is definitely growing for sure."
It's reminiscent of a time when 'N Sync battled the Backstreet Boys as music's top act, selling millions of albums and concert tickets, thanks to the millions of girls who invested time, their parents' money and screamed pleas for their favorite boy band. 'N Sync and the Backstreet Boys, who rose to fame in the 1990s and carried that through the new millennium, were followed by others successful boy bands, such as 98 Degrees, O-Town and Dream Street.
Before that, it was New Edition who exploded on the scene in the 1980s, followed by the massive success of New Kids on the Block. And before that, there was the Jackson Five and the Osmonds, and so on.
The Jonas Brothers made it big in the mid-2000s with its hit Disney TV series, films and albums. They started to fade years later, though, as the oldest, Kevin, got married, and Joe and Nick launched solo careers.
But now, there are various boy bands releasing music simultaneously, helping drive each other to the top of the charts.
"It's giving us that little competition that makes us want to go further and excel further than we are right now," said 22-year-old Carlos Pena Jr. of Big Time Rush.
"It's cool to see more boy bands, but us, Mindless Behavior, we want to show the fans what we got," said Mindless Behavior's Prodigy, who is 15. Roc Royal and Princeton -- both 14 -- and Ray Ray, 15, round out the group.
Big Time Rush recently had its TV film, "Big Time Movie," reach over 13.1 million total viewers when it debuted on Nickelodeon two weeks ago. They also released an EP of the same name to accompany the film, which features cover versions of classic Beatles songs.
The group members said they weren't excited about being coined a "boy band" when they debuted in late 2009.
"We hated that term to start with," 21-year-old James Maslow said.
"Because the term hadn't come back yet," added Kendall Schmidt, 21. "We kind of feel like we paved the way for it to come back."
The foursome -- which includes Logan Henderson -- has released two albums. Their last tour featured One Direction as the opening act.
"We want to support other boy bands as well because we really want that whole genre to come back," Maslow said.
Other boy bands on the verge include Midnight Red, formed by RedOne, the producer behind Lady Gaga hits like "Just Dance," ''Poker Face" and "Bad Romance." Midnight Run will release a single next month, and an album later this year. Beyoncé, who recently launched her production company Parkwood Entertainment, said she plans on putting together her own boy band. And the British quartet JLS, the runners-up on the U.K.'s "X Factor" in 2008, has released three top-selling albums in Europe, collecting five No. 1s; they have plans to release music in America.
"There's always going to be a market out there for teenage girls and girls in their early twenties that have this desire (for boy bands) ... and eventually they grow with the bands," said Howie Dorough of the Backstreet Boys, who recently released his solo debut, "Back to Me."
The Wanted, whose members range in age from 18 to 23, has released two albums in the United Kingdom; its U.S. debut is out on April 24. At last month's Brit Awards, The Wanted's "All Time Low" lost best British single to One Direction's "What Makes You Beautiful," currently No. 28 on the Billboard chart. One Direction, whose youngest member is 18 and oldest is 20, have signed up to do a Nickelodeon show and will perform at next month's Kids Choice Awards; Big Time Rush is also slated to perform.
Radio Disney's Ernie D. says the new crop of boy bands are finding success much faster than groups in the past.
"The way it's happening now, it's a little more sudden than last time. Because back then you had to build your fan base, get a following. Now with all social media, you have a fan base immediately ... (and) as soon as you nail that fan base, you're on the rise for sure," he said.
"Bands like One Direction and The Wanted, they're just coming out of nowhere and it's kind of taking everybody by surprise."

HP Mini 5101's enhanced communications features make it ideal for wireless or LAN networking
Netbooks prove worthy of a second lookThe Lab tests six netbook models and finds they have outgrown their low-grade reputation.
Dell Latitude on the goThe Dell Latitude 2100 offers extra portability options at a smart price for students.
Fujitsu designed to shineFujitsu M2010's bright screen and impressively loud speakers make it a good choice for multimedia use.
HP Mini but mightyHP Mini 5101's enhanced communications features make it ideal for wireless or LAN networking.
IdeaPad ideal for budget consciousLenovo IdeaPad S10-2's low cost and light weight make it a good value for those watching their wallets.
Sony Vaio netbook a multimedia powerThe Sony Vaio W-series is a bit pricey at $500, but it has a lot of extra features and would do well for a user who deals with multimedia on a variety of devices with different types of storage.
Toshiba's Mini is the class of the netbook fieldThe Toshiba Mini NB205 N210 delivered the best performance at the lowest price, and easily won the Reviewer's Choice for this roundup.
The HP Mini 5101 is the smallest netbook in the review, but it is still one of the best performers. It is only 10.25 inches by 7.25 inches by 1.5 inches, which makes it one of the most portable we tested. Its weight of 2 pounds, 13 ounces is only an ounce away from making the Mini 5101 the lightest in the review.
The Mini 5101's keyboard was almost luxurious. Each key was spaced 1/8 inch apart from each other. The touchpad could have been bigger, though, and its surface had a little more resistance than what most laptop users might be accustomed to. Nevertheless, the HP was pleasant to use.
The Mini 5101 came with a 160G hard drive, which is about the size one would expect for a netbook. Also, we noted that the wireless client adapter also supports 802.11n draft 2.0, and the local-area network port is 10/100/1000. It is the only netbook in the roundup to have both of those features.
The Mini 5101's screen was not as bright as others' in the review. It also tended to dim slightly when looked at from an angle, though not by a great deal.
The Intel Atom N280 processor of the Mini 5101 helped produce a benchmark score of 260.1, which is only a few tenths of a point lower than the fastest performer. It lasted 4 hours, 5 minutes in our battery-life testing, which is right in the middle of the group.
The HP Mini 5101 retails for $425, a good price for such an expansive keyboard and enhanced communications features. It would be best suited in an environment with gigabit network connections and/or wireless-N capabilities.

One in a weekday series examining issues at stake in the election and their impact on people
The issue:
Europe is struggling to control a debt crisis, save the euro currency and stop a repeat of the 2008 financial crisis that sent the world spinning into recession. The continent's troubles are the No. 1 threat to the fragile U.S. economy. If the crisis spreads to the U.S., Americans could find it harder to get loans and the country could slip back into recession.
Where they stand:
Neither President Barack Obama nor Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has offered plans for Europe. The U.S. government lacks the cash and the will to rescue European countries struggling with huge debts. Obama has urged Europe to act more decisively. Romney has used the crisis to warn that the United States will face its own day of reckoning if it doesn't reduce the federal debt.
Why it matters:
Europe buys 22 percent of the goods America exports. U.S. companies have invested heavily in Europe. So any economic slowdown in Europe dents U.S. exports and corporate profits. But the biggest fear is that a European financial crisis will flare up and move west across the Atlantic — the way Wall Street's 2008 crisis moved east to Europe — with dire consequences for the U.S. economy.
Europeans are struggling to repair a system that was flawed from the start. The euro, introduced in 1999, makes it easier to do business across Europe; no more changing francs to deutschemarks when French and German companies do business. But the common currency joined countries with vastly different economies and political cultures — and each got to keep running its own budget. During the 2000s, banks were willing to overlook the differences and lend at low rates to countries like Greece with dubious records of fiscal discipline. Lenders knew they'd be repaid in euros, not local currencies that could be devalued by inflation. Greece and other countries took advantage of the easy money. Their debts proved crushing after the recession hit.
To fix their finances, European countries have cut government spending and raised taxes. Greece, Portugal and Ireland had to tighten their belts to qualify for bailouts. But the austerity has taken a toll. Europe is sliding into recession. The pressure might force Greece to abandon the euro and revive its old currency, the drachma. Other countries — notably Italy and Spain — might follow Greece out of the eurozone.
Abandoning the euro would free countries from an economic straitjacket. When they joined the eurozone, they surrendered control of interest rates to the European Central Bank, so they cannot cut their own rates to boost their economies. Nor can they push down their currencies to give their exporters a price advantage and trade their way out of trouble.
But breaking up the eurozone would be dangerous. Borrowers in countries that left the eurozone would struggle to produce enough money in their weak local currencies to repay old debts denominated in much stronger euros. As debts soured, Europe's banking system would freeze. Its economy would follow. The pain would spread. Worried about a crackup, investors are demanding higher rates on Italian and Spanish debt, driving those countries' borrowing costs to unsustainable levels.
Is there any way out? European Central Bank President Mario Draghi has promised to "do whatever it takes" to save the euro by buying government bonds, pushing down interest rates and providing relief to Italy and Spain. Some economists call for eurozone countries to assume joint responsibility for the weakest countries' debts. Germans oppose so-called eurobonds, arguing they would give strapped countries less incentive to put their finances in order and would raise Germany's own borrowing costs.

"After three decades of increases, adult obesity rates remained level in every state except for one, Arkansas, in the past year, according to F as in Fat: How Obesity Threatens America's Future 2013, a report from the Trust for America's Health (TFAH) and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF). The full report is available here. Visit http://www.FasinFat.org/ for interactives, graphs, charts and obesity rates for the states and nation going back decades.
Thirteen states now have adult obesity rates above 30 percent, 41 states have rates of at least 25 percent, and every state is above 20 percent, according to the report. In 1980, no state was above 15 percent; in 1991, no state was above 20 percent; in 2000, no state was above 25 percent; in 2007, only Mississippi was above 30 percent.*
Since 2005, there has been some evidence that the rate of increase has been slowing. In 2005, every state but one experienced an increase in obesity rates; in 2008, rates increased in 37 states; in 2010, rates increased in 28 states; and in 2011, rates increased in 16 states."

This will drive you nuts!! Have fun!
The object of the game is to move the red block around
Without getting hit by the blue blocks or touching the black walls.
If you can go longer than 18 seconds you are phenomenal. It's been
Said that the US Air Force uses this for fighter pilots. They are
Expected to go for at least 2 minutes.
Give it a try but be careful...it is addictive!!
Click and hold on the red square and move the mouse to evade the blocks…
