For the everyday items you wash at home, there are easy, earth-friendly solutions that will get your laundry greener and cleaner.
All-natural laundry cleaning agents
These tips are best for machine washable fabrics. Always test new laundry methods in an inconspicuous spot first.
- Fabric softener: adding ½ cup white vinegar to the rinse cycle will soften clothes. For pillows and blankets, add two cups to the rinse cycle to keep them fluffy.
- Lint and pet hair prevention: adding ½ cup white vinegar to the rinse cycle will prevent lint build up on clothing and reduce the amount of pet hair left clinging after the wash.
- Static cling: add ½ cup white vinegar to the rinse cycle to keep clothes static-free.
- Hand wash: If you have trouble giving delicate items a thorough rinse when you wash them by hand, add one to two tablespoons of vinegar to the rinse water help dissolve detergent residue.
- Stain removal: diluted vinegar can be used on most machine-washable fabrics to remove stains. See our "Stain Removal" section for information on specific stains.
- Color refresher: Soak faded clothes in a solution of one cup vinegar per one gallon warm water. Rinse in cold water and see the difference.
- Bleeding: adding ½ cup salt to your regular wash cycle can help prevent colors from running or bleeding.
- Yellowing: For white cotton or linen items, a one hour soak in boiling water with one tablespoon salt and ¼ cup baking soda will remove the yellow tinge. For nylon, soaking in warm water with Epsom salt and rinsing in clear water will bring the white back out.
- Ironing: To clean a sticky iron, set it on low and run it over a piece of paper with salt spilled on it. And to keep the iron from sticking to clothes in the future, add a pinch of salt to the laundry starch.
Baking Soda
- Odor eliminator: Adding ½ cup baking soda to the rinse cycle will neutralize odors and leave your laundry smelling fresh without fragrance.
- Brightener: To give your regular liquid laundry detergent a stain-fighting boost, add ½ cup baking soda to your regular wash cycle. Baking soda helps neutralize the pH in your wash water, improving the way detergent interacts with your clothes. Your whites will come out whiter and colors brighter.
- Stain removal: A paste of baking soda and water can be rubbed into tough stains like blood, wine, perspiration, and vomit to kill the odor and help remove the stain. See our "Stain Removal" section for details on specific stains.
Lemon Juice
- Bleach: Lemon juice is an all-natural bleaching agent. Pour lemon juice on stains (test for colorfastness in a hidden spot first) and hang in the sun to dry, then machine wash as usual. For an allover white brightener, replace the bleach in your wash cycle with one cup of lemon juice.
- Soak solution: For very soiled or perpetually dingy items (not just clothes—think towels, sheets, tablecloths), soak overnight in hot water with ½ cup lemon juice. Machine wash as usual.
Energy savers
Save the environment—and your wallet—with a few easy changes to your laundry routine
- Wash clothes in cold or warm water instead of hot. According to the California Energy Commission, 85-90% of the energy used by washing machines goes to heat the water. And washing in cold gets your clothes just as clean as hot. Tide Coldwater, the first detergent specially formulated for energy-saving, has the same stain-fighting power as the original.
- Pre-treat stains and presoak very soiled items so you don't have to put them through the washer twice.
- Hang dry laundry to reduce your electric dryer use. If weather prevents you from line-drying outside, buy a drying rack to use indoors. Or buy a tension rod and hang garments on plastic hangers in a doorway or alcove.
- Don't over-dry clothes—it wears your clothes out faster and uses more energy. Use the auto-dry feature if you have one, or set the timer for shorter intervals and check clothes to see if they're done.
- Pull clothes out of the dryer while still damp and hang them up. They will dry with fewer wrinkles, reducing the amount of ironing you normally do.
- Clean the lint filter in your dryer after every use—it improves air circulation so your dryer works more efficiently and quickly.

Fascinating poll out in today's New York Times. Here's the lede:
Most Support U.S. Guarantee of Health Care(Emphasis mine) More than half of all respondents thought health care was the most important domestic issue facing the country. Half of respondents aid they would be willing to pay up to $500 more annually in taxes to achieve this goal. The consensus was that "the Federal Government should guarantee health insurance for all Americans" by a 64%-27% margin. However, there was not a clear preference for a single-payer government plan as opposed to mandated employer-based coverage. By a four-to-one margin, respondents rated universal health coverage as more important than extending Bush's tax cuts.
By ROBIN TONER and JANET ELDER
Published: March 2, 2007
A majority of Americans say the federal government should guarantee health insurance to every American, especially children, and are willing to pay higher taxes to do it, according to the latest New York Times/CBS News poll.
I am most impressed that this is perceived as a serious enough crisis that people are willing to pay more in personal taxes to reach a solution. I can't remember any other issue in my lifetime which evoked a willingness to pay more in taxes, even in anonymous polling (which is quite different from when the new taxes are actually passed through Congress).
I like to see this. Momentum is building for serious reform. Now all we need is to recapture the White House . . . that should be easy enough, right?
(Obligatory snark - in the same poll, Bush's numbers creep back into Nixon territory with an overall approval rating of 29% and an approval of 23% on Iraq)

Drum roll, please.
On Friday, I announced State Street Corp. as our E2 Social Business of the Year for 2013. I'm pleased that Kristin Z. Waryas, VP of enterprise social collaboration will be joining me for an onstage interview at the E2 Conference in Boston, June 17-19.
Here is the rest of the top 10 list, with details about each honoree on the pages that follow.
1. State Street Corp. (see my feature interview with Kristin Z. Waryas.)
2. Unisys, Gloria Burke, director of knowledge and collaboration strategy and governance.
3. GE Capital, Ian Forrest, VP global marketing.
4. KPMG, Vishal Agnihotri, associate director, global knowledge services.
5. Leaseplan, Wim de Gier, senior global project manager.
6. DenMat, Jonathan Green, VP of IT.
7. Electrolux, Ralf Larsson, director, employee engagement.
8. Macquarie Group, Silu Modi, VP, digital marketing.
9. Mercer, CIO Harry Van Drunen.
10. Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Kirsten Culbertson, interactive intranet producer.
These are enterprise social networking stories, with the exception of GE's Access GE customer community and Macquarie Group's social media participation program for financial advisers. GE is pursuing the broader vision of social business that spans both internal and external collaboration, working with Salesforce.com to enhance its Chatter tool to be able to address customer communities as well as internal collaboration.
In addition to Kristin Z. Waryas, two other honorees, Gloria Burke of Unisys and Vishal Agnihotri, will be on hand for the Q&A portion of the social business leaders session at E2. This is your chance to learn from their experience. Burke and Agnihotri will also participate in another panel discussion on Enterprise Social Networking Across Channels, Devices and Languages.
In addition, an E2 session featuring Macquarie's Silu Modi will address social media challenges for financial services firms.
These are really my picks, as the social business chair for E2, since I didn't enlist anyone to help with the judging this time. However, I had some serious debates with myself over the ranking and consider State Street and Unisys essentially tied, each with a great story to tell. The decision came down to a prejudice: I always think technology companies like Unisys ought to make effective use of technology, more so than the rest of us, and so I gave the edge to State Street as a company not in the technology business, but seeking to use it effectively.
We published a call for nominations in February and extended the deadline for nominations into May in search of more and better entries. I also invited entries from some of the organizations, such as Mercer, which I connected with through research for my Social Collaboration for Dummies book, which will be coming out later this year.
By the way, this wasn't supposed to be a contest for vendors, but NewsGator deserves some sort of prize for motivating and mobilizing the members of its community to submit nominations. State Street, Unisys, Mercer and the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia all use the combination of Microsoft SharePoint and NewsGator Social Sites to power social collaboration networks for their employees. They also had good stories to tell about translating social business theory into practice.
Besides, the ability to coordinate action as a community is part of what makes a social business, so I couldn't hold that against them. If you want to be recognized, it helps to speak up. Social business leaders can't be shy.
Read on for more about organizations and their leaders who have something to boast about.

"You can't call yourself the boss if you don't (bleep)-ing pay them!"
-Celebrity Chef Gordon Ramsay
"Hotel Hell" premiered on Fox last night, bringing potty-mouthed celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay into the underworld of mismanaged hotels and their restaurants. On his other shows, Ramsay usually offers some enjoyable brain-rot as he formulaically transforms the mismanaged establishments and their hard-headed owners with cutting, blunt talk that culminates in the owner's teary-eyed realization of the errors of his or her ways. A transformation of character results, usually aided by a free restaurant makeover thanks in part to our sponsors.
Instead, Monday's episode (which ended in a cliff-hanger) was a textbook example of rampant wage theft at the Juniper Hill Inn, in Windsor, VT.
It's a beautifully appointed hotel whose owners have spent a fortune on antiques and art for rooms but who don't pay their own staff regularly.
There's the almost-70-year-old waitress who made $48 in her last paycheck, the chef who quit after putting the restaurant's purchases on her own credit card and didn't get paid back, and an entire staff that rarely gets paid what they are owed on time, and who may not even be making the minimum wage.
When one of the owners declares that his employees don't have to work there if they don't like getting paid, Ramsay screams, "You disrespectful, disgusting man!"
Ramsay is outraged by the situation; we can only guess at the language he uses to describe his disgust because most of it was bleeped. He's outraged, I'm outraged, and I hope the millions of viewers of last night's show are as well.
I also hope that we stop tolerating not paying workers. It's disgusting, disrespectful, and illegal. It's also all too common.
Wage theft – the illegal underpayment or non-payment of workers' wages – is on the rise and the scope of violations is substantial. Claims filed under the FLSA have increased by 400 percent over the last decade. And, as we have written before, data from the NC Dept. of Labor's Wage and Hour Bureau, which administers the North Carolina Wage and Hour Act, shows that documented wage theft cost workers and their communities almost $4.7 million in just one year.
While these figures are significant, the numbers likely underestimate the occurrence of wage theft. Workers may fear retaliation, hang on to bad jobs because of a lack of other options, or have difficulties seeking redress.
North Carolinians have long believed that hard work should be rewarded with fair wages, and policy makers must ensure that our existing wage and hour laws are enforced and that unscrupulous businesses are held accountable.

PF can't match on TOS?
I'm trying to build some QoS based on the TOS field in the IP header of the packets going trough my machine in any direction. For now I'm unable to build a rule to match these. There are such packets - I can see them on tcpdump:
13:38:35.466787 IP (tos 0x30, ttl 64, id 0, offset 0, flags [DF], proto TCP (6), length 40) 192.168.0.34.47624 > 126.96.36.199.80: R, cksum 0xf6f5 (correct), 1916966715:1916966715(0) win 0
int_if = "re0" ext_if = "rl0" ext_ip = "192.168.1.2" table <network> { 192.168.0.34, 192.168.0.9 } set state-policy if-bound scrub in all altq on $int_if hfsc bandwidth 15Mb queue {download, gen_down, dl_int} queue gen_down bandwidth 1Mb hfsc (realtime 1Mb upperlimit 1Mb default) queue download bandwidth 12Mb hfsc (realtime 10Mb upperlimit 15Mb) queue dl_int bandwidth 2Mb hfsc (realtime 1Mb upperlimit 2Mb) altq on $ext_if hfsc bandwidth 15Mb queue {upload, gen_up, up_int} queue gen_up bandwidth 1Mb hfsc (realtime 1Mb upperlimit 1Mb) queue upload bandwidth 12Mb hfsc (realtime 10Mb upperlimit 15Mb default) queue up_int bandwidth 2Mb hfsc (realtime 1Mb upperlimit 2Mb) nat on $ext_if from <network> to any -> $ext_ip pass quick on $ext_if from <network> tos 0x30 label "int_dl" pass log (all to pflog0) quick on $int_if from <network> keep state tag to_data label "?download:" queue download pass log (all to pflog1) quick on $ext_if tagged to_data label "?upload:" queue upload
Any ideas?

I've added log all to pflog1 to the rule and now tcpdump on pflog1 shows strange things. (I've removed the logging option for the ex-pflog1 rule). It should be showing nothing, but in fact it shows every packet going trough the $ext_if:
# tcpdump -nevi pflog1 12:21:58.555064 rule 4294967295/0(match): pass in on rl0: (tos 0x50, ttl 119, id 63193, offset 0, flags [DF], proto TCP (6), length 64) 18.104.22.168.17771 > 192.168.0.34.40556: [|tcp] 12:21:58.555458 rule 4294967295/0(match): pass out on rl0: (tos 0x0, ttl 63, id 8391, offset 0, flags [DF], proto TCP (6), length 1492) 192.168.1.2.52251 > 22.214.171.124.17771: [|tcp] ...
Second - what is that "rule 4294967295/0(match)" ? I obviosly doesn't have so much rules. Which rule is matched?
Third - do "scrub in all" logs to pflog?
Fourth - what are these sessions doing in pflog? I mean when I fire netstat (on both - the router machine and the 0.34 nat client machine) it doesn't show any of the IPs and ports shown at tcpdump.

Information for Philosophy Students
Students often ask why they should study philosophy. There are several good reasons:
- Philosophy is the study of some of the deepest questions human beings have ever asked: What is the right ethical code to live by? What political policies should I support? How can I find true happiness? Does God exist? Are human beings immortal? Do human beings have free will? What are the limits of human knowledge? Majoring in philosophy allows you to spend four years pursuing these fascinating questions.
- The goal of a traditional liberal arts education is to prepare students to face the most difficult tasks of life, including finding happiness, setting goals, and living ethically. The study of philosophy is central to this mission. Philosophy teaches students how to analyze problems, construct systematic arguments, and develop their own viewpoints on life's most important questions.
- Many CMC students are particularly interested in leadership and politics. But many CMC students overlook the fact that great leaders aren't merely people with power. Instead, true leaders, like Paine, Gandhi, and King, guide society toward its ultimate goals of happiness, morality, and understanding. Philosophy prepares students for true leadership-the kind that makes a lasting difference to society.
- Philosophy is practical. Apart from hard science majors, philosophy majors almost always have the highest scores on any graduate school exam (e.g., MCAT, LSAT, GMAT, GRE). The reason philosophy majors do so well is that philosophy teaches you to think about the hardest problems human beings have ever uncovered. Students who graduate with a degree in philosophy pursue further study and careers in business, public affairs, law, and many other fields. Click here for more information on the practicality of the philosophy major.
We hope to expand this section of the webpage soon. For now, here are a few useful links:

REDLANDS, Calif. – The 24th-ranked Brandeis women's tennis team won the top four singles matches, but the Judges couldn't overcome a doubles sweep as they fell to 11th-ranked Redlands, 5-4. With the loss, the Judges wrap up their February trip to California with a 1-3 overall record, 1-2 on the trip. All three of Brandeis's losses have come to other nationally-ranked squads. The Bulldogs improve to 2-0 on the season.
After dropping the first two doubles matches, the Judges had a chance to pull out a point at No. 1, but UR's Julia Pollock and Natalie Etchegaray earned a late break to defeat Brandeis juniors Carley Cooke (San Diego, Calif./Point Loma) and Simone Vandroff (Moss Beach, Calif./Half Moon Bay), 9-7.
Redlands wrapped up the match relatively quickly in singles action, earning 6-2, 6-2, wins at both the No. 5 and 6 positions. Cooke and Vandroff were both able to avenge their losses in singles. Cooke was a 6-1, 7-6, winner over Etchegaray, winning the tiebreaker, 7-5. Vandroff's win came after Pollack retired. The Redlands player won a 7-5 tiebreaker in the first set, but Vandroff was ahead, 2-1, in the second. The Judges also had a pair of nice three-set wins, with seniors Allyson Bernstein (Northbrook, Ill./Glenbrook North) and Roberta Bergstein (Hingham, Mass./Hingham) winning at No. 2 and 4, respectively. Bernstein rallied from a set down, 3-6, 6-3, 6-3, while Bergstein bounced back from a tough second set, in which she was broken three times, to earn a 6-2, 0-6, 6-4 win.
The Judges return to New England for a March 1 match against Division I Bryan University in Rhode Island.

New gene associated with increased risk of Alzheimer's disease
Researchers have identified a gene that appears to increase a person's risk of developing late-onset Alzheimer's disease, the most common type of Alzheimer's disease. The research will be presented as part of the late-breaking science program at the American Academy of Neurology's 62nd Annual Meeting in Toronto, April 10 - 17, 2010. The gene, abbreviated MTHFD1L, is located on chromosome six.
"Only recently have common variants in genes other than APOE been convincingly shown to be associated with a person's risk of developing late-onset Alzheimer's disease," said senior author Margaret Pericak-Vance, PhD, the principal investigator of the study and Director of the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine's John P. Hussman Institute for Human Genomics in Miami, Florida.
Researchers looked at gene variation throughout the human genomes of 2,269 people with late-onset Alzheimer's disease and 3,107 people without the disease through what's known as a genome-wide association study. Such studies involve looking at long stretches of DNA to identify small differences in the genetic sequence between people with and without Alzheimer's disease.
The study found that individuals with a particular variation in the gene MTHFD1L may be almost twice as likely to develop Alzheimer's disease as those people without the variation. "We are hopeful our identification of MTHFD1L as a risk gene for Alzheimer's disease will help us to better understand how this disease develops and potentially serve as a marker for people who may be at increased risk," said Adam Naj, PhD, with the University of Miami Miller School of Meidicne's John P. Hussman Institute for Human Genomics in Miami and the first author of the abstract reporting the discovery.
"Identifying this gene is important because the gene is known to be involved in influencing the body's levels of homocysteine, and high levels of homocysteine are strong risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer's disease," said Pericak-Vance. "In addition, variations of the MTHFD1L gene have been reported to possibly increase the risk of coronary artery disease. Since the function of blood vessels in the brain may affect Alzheimer's disease, this finding may also help us understand how homocysteine levels and blood vessel function in the brain affect Alzheimer's disease."
The World Health Organization estimates that there are currently 18 million people worldwide with Alzheimer's disease, and this figure is projected to nearly double to 34 million by 2025. There are currently at least five million Americans living with Alzheimer's disease today. Provided by American Academy of Neurology

On March 18, 2009, the FOMC announced a longer-dated Treasury purchase program with a different operating goal, to help improve conditions in private credit markets.
On August 10, 2010, the FOMC directed the Open Market Trading Desk at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York to keep constant the Federal Reserve's holdings of securities at their current level by reinvesting principal payments from agency debt and agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS) in longer-term Treasury securities.
On November 3, 2010, the FOMC decided to expand the Federal Reserve's holdings of securities in the SOMA to promote a stronger pace of economic recovery and to help ensure that inflation, over time, is at levels consistent with its mandate.
On June 22, 2011, the FOMC directed the Desk to continue reinvesting principal payments on all domestic securities in Treasury securities to maintain the Federal Reserve's holdings of domestic securities at approximately $2.6 trillion. Reinvestments of principal payments on agency debt and MBS into Treasury securities ceased on September 30, 2011, following the September 21 FOMC decision to reinvest those payments in agency MBS.

Advent Calendar Grab Bag December 9thDecember 9, 2009 at 10:13 | Posted in Advent Calendar, Carnival of Genealogy, memories, Spiritual Walk | 3 Comments
Tags: Carnival of Genealogy, Christmas, famiglia, family, Holiday Spirit, joy, love of family, Peace
We had one Christmas that for our family will always be a special one for our family. It was 1984 and I was ill that year. I was thrilled when we found I was expecting our third child. We wanted a big family. I loved being pregnant and loved having children. I knew from the time I was a young child that I wanted to be a wife and a mother. Every decision in my life revolved around being a mother. But then only a month pregnant, we were handed devastating news. I was diagnosed with cervical cancer. I fit none of the criteria for someone at risk but there it was – cancer. The doctors immediately wanted me to start medical treatment which would include an abortion. The emotions rollercoaster I was facing was amplified of course by hormones. One thing I was sure of though was that I could not have an abortion. For me this was not an option. I knew that God would not honor a covenant of life with me if I did not honor one with Him. I offer no political discourse or condemnation of others who choose differently, only that this was true for me. The doctors here in Florida were not happy with my decision.
That summer we drove back to my hometown in Connecticut and I visited the ob-gyn group who has delivered our first son and talked. As they listened, they offered support and love. If I were still living there, they would have had no problem with seeing me through this decision. They actually agreed with my decision. They felt much of the treatment could wait until after delivery. They did want me to have a procedure done while pregnant to remove as much of the cancer as possible but it did carry a risk of miscarriage so it was important to be at a place where I could stay and maintain bed rest, not travel. We returned to Florida and I began the hunt for a doctor. A girlfriend found one in Jacksonville where she lived who would accept me for treatment. We met and my husband and I knew he was a great fit for us. He felt the risk was great but he was willing to do everything he could medically to help me! And so I moved myself to Jacksonville with my girlfriend's family. The plan was for my mother and my husband to care of my two young sons back at home. The surgery went better than expected, buying me time to not need further chemo treatment during pregnancy. There were many special incidents while I was in the hospital that proved to me that God was in control but those will be saved for another post another day. This post is about Christmas.
I returned home after thirty days and spent the next few months in prayer and on bed rest. I trusted the Lord that no matter what was to happen; it was all part of His Plan. The evening of December 23rd, I suddenly began to experience back pains that I was sure were labor even though Daniel was not quite due for another couple weeks. By the time I arrived at the hospital, I knew he was not waiting! We brought along a cassette player and had soft hymns of praise playing softly in the birthing room. A short one hour and twelve minutes later Daniel arrived! We were blessed with our third son, healthy and perfect in spite of all I had been through. The next morning was December 24th, Christmas Eve. When we left the hospital, Daniel was slipped inside a huge Christmas stocking, a gift from the hospital Pink Ladies!
I would less than 2 years later have another son even though doctors told me it would not be possible to get pregnant again. And I would again face another bout of cancer within that year after Vinny being born more serious than this occurrence. I would also experience God's blessings through my cancer and I would be healed in spite of doctors' predictions of impending death. But it was this Christmas that we realized God's gift to us as our son was born. He was indeed the most precious gift my husband and I could ever wish for — and that was a very special Christmas indeed!

This post moved me so much. Your faith, your courage, your trust in the Lord's promises. Our family circle has been riddled by cancer this past decade and it is sometimes difficult to remember the verse (paraphrased) that God can work all things together for those who love Him. Thank you for a very encouraging post. Merry Christmas to you!

The Senate passed its version of a $2.2 trillion spending blueprint by a vote of 56 to 44, retaining a provision that would halve President Bush's tax cut proposal from $726 billion to $356 billion over 10 years if it were passed into law.
The fiscal 2004 budget resolution now goes to a House-Senate conference committee where it must be resolved with a House measure that includes a 1 percent across-the-board spending cut in all budget categories save defense and social security.
The non-binding resolution sets forth the congressional budget for the U.S. government for fiscal 2004, and includes budgetary goals for fiscal 2003 and 2005-2013.
Also included in the Senate budget resolution passed last week is a payment limitations amendment by Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa. He says the $1.4 billion savings from his amendment will be used to fund the Conservation Security Program, in order to pick up votes. Grassley's plan apparently worked, because the measure passed the Senate Budget Committee by a 14-9 vote.
Sen. Thad Cochran, R-Miss., reportedly received a promise from Senate Budget Committee Chairman Don Nickles, R-Okla., that Grassley's provision in the budget resolution must be referred to the Senate Agriculture Committee Cochran chairs before any action could be taken.
"With this amendment, he's not only suggesting re-opening the farm bill, but he's not really accruing any savings," said one Washington observer. "He's just moving money from one agriculture program to another, which is not technically the Budget Committee's job."
The USA Rice Federation reported in its newsletter that Cochran has secured the commitment from Nickles.
Also included in the Senate budget resolution is an amendment calling for the end of the so-called "death tax." Again, however, it has to go before the House Ways and Means Committee and the Senate Finance Committee before ever becoming law, because neither the Senate nor the House can pass authorizing legislation in a budget bill.
As one Beltwide insider describes it, "The budget resolution simply sets up a framework for how much money should be spent each year by the government. It does not appropriate funding. Instead, it is a set of challenges for congressional appropriators and authorizers."
A measure included in the Senate budget resolution does not always see the light of day. The truth is there's a lot left to do. At least two big fights remain — authorizing and appropriating — before any of the recommended changes can be made.
And while Senate and House committee members generally follow the recommendations made by the budget committees, they decide how and when any changes in funding will be made. For example, before a conservation program's funding level can be changed or payment limitations can be authorized, the respective agriculture committees must sign-off on those line item changes.
In addition, the non-binding budget resolution can not cut entitlements, such as farm program payments or welfare payments. It can, however, cut discretionary accounts, such as agricultural research or boll weevil eradication funding.
Grassley, however, has introduced separate legislation that would reduce payment limits from the current farm bill's $360,000 per year to $275,000 per year per person. The bill, S-667, would also eliminate the use of generic commodity certificates.
While the House version of the budget called for 1 percent across-the-board cuts, the Senate budget resolution "cherry picks" aiming for 2 to 3 percent worth of cuts to agriculture funding, according to Washington, D.C., sources.

Transfer news: St Mirren have signed David Cornell, Christopher Dilo & Kealan Dillon
St Mirren have signed goalkeeping duo David Cornell and Christopher Dilo and midfielder Kealan Dillon.
By Pete O'Rourke - Follow me: @skysportspeteo
Last Updated: 01/07/13 10:59pm
Cornell arrives on a season-long loan from Swansea City while Dilo and Dillon have signed one-year deals after leaving Blackburn Rovers and Hull City respectively
Swansea are happy to loan out Wales Under 21 international Cornell so that he can gain some valuable first-team experience at St Mirren.
St Mirren boss Danny Lennon was delighted to bring in the trio ahead of the new season.
"Swansea are a football club that share a very similar philosophy to ourselves so I know David will come in here and fit the criteria in every department that we want," Lennon told the club's official website
"Chris was with us for a while at the tail end of last season,"
"Looking forward he shows great potential and with the quality coaching he'll get from Paul Mathers I'm sure we'll see him challenging for the keeper's spot sooner rather than later.
"Kealan is a midfielder and we had a look at him a couple of times last season and what he showed us was great commitment on and off the pitch, and we are looking for big things from him as we look to invest in not only the immediate future but the long term future too for our football club."

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday of the year. The turkey, the cozy sweaters, the tasty pies, the yummy holiday scents, and ahhh, the next-day Black Friday rush. So often, though, it's easy to forget one of the things that the holiday's really about: Giving thanks.
Yeah I'm thankful for having a steady job, my health, living within walking distance of T.J. Maxx and Bed Bath and Beyond, and all that jazz. But you wanna know something I'm really thankful for? My mom.
Mom -- I know we don't live together anymore. I know we're both busy, we don't get to talk as often as we used to, and that I don't tell you I love you nearly often enough. In honor of the holiday for giving thanks, today I want to share with the world 20 things I want to thank you for:
Mom, thank you:
20. For worrying about me no matter how old I get: I may think I have all the answers, but I don't. The reality is that I don't think there's ever going to be a time I stop needing you.
19. For being a SUPER smart shopper: I'm sorry for getting frustrated with you when you wouldn't buy me the REAL Uggs back in high school. Really, though, I get my bargainista habits from you, and I wouldn't rather it any other way. My bank account thanks you, too.
18. For passing along your great brown hair: Sorry I tried to dye it back at summer camp. I promise I'll never attempt "blonde" highlights ever again.
17. For not killing me the time I cut off all that hair: I'll never forget the shriek you gave when I walked down the stairs back in my pre-kindergarten days with a headband on trying to pretend I didn't just cut off my Shirley Temple curls. Thankfully, they've grown back. And I didn't lose my hearing.
16. For being so cautious: I let out a little sigh every time it snows knowing how worried it makes you to drive in the bad conditions. Really, though, I'd rather you were overly concerned than not at all.
15. For buying that little house by the water: I know you always wanted an ocean view. I'm happy that you're happy there.
14. That you got that nursing degree: I honestly don't know what I would do without my 24-hour personal nursing hot line. Even though I think I scare you half the time by telling you about a random ache in my right pinky finger.
13. For that Costco membership: Toilet paper is expensive here in New York City. And although I refuse to bring it back in that massive wire cart you swear "everyone" has for fear of looking like a 92-year-old, I'm grateful for your offering. And Costco's free samples.
12. For telling me I can always come home: Even though I may not want to.
11. For asking about the men in my life even though I may be embarrassed to tell you: It's not that I don't want you to know, it's that I'm scared something will go wrong at some point and I don't want you to see me disappointed.
10. For supporting me through everything: I know watching me run half marathons is sort of boring. But it means a lot to me every time you come, even if you do miss the end. It's OK, there's always next time.
9. For being my forever diet partner: It's got to be hard watching your daughter struggle with her weight. I would have never lost the weight I did without your constant love and support.
8. For staying here for me: I know it's not easy that your parents and sister live on the west coast and we're over here. Thank you for staying close to me, it means more than you know.
7. For hovering over me when I cook: I may seem annoyed, but deep down inside, I really just want to show you I can cook as well as you do without any help.
6. For letting me make my own mistakes: I don't always make the best decisions. Thank you for letting me learn things for myself.
5. For being such a stickler for customer service: Yeah, sometimes I may make fun of you for writing such heartfelt, serious letters to every company that doesn't provide you the best service. Really, though, that department store that delivered your couch three weeks late deserved a piece of your mind.
4. For never doing this. But seriously.
3. For allowing me to drive your car: I don't think Dad will ever give up control. But you? I love you for it. Especially now that we're getting rid of mine.
2. For thinking even the horrible pictures of me are good ones: I still hate that awful picture you have of me running as your Facebook cover. I know, though, it's because you're proud of me and that's why I let it slide.
1. For being my mom.
What are you thankful for this year?

Those of you who have read my columns, know I'm not that sappy but I do confess to having a sensitive bone in my body.
This Thanksgiving was amazing. Now, forget the fact that out of 10 people, there were two HRC supporters. Yes. My wife and I. But, for the most part, it was a very hopeful event.
There were four millennials (including my two nephews) who talked about what opportunities may lie ahead, what they wanted to achieve when they graduate next year and what would they do with student debt.
We set aside a room, like they suggested on the 'Today Show' for political discussion but surprisingly, or maybe not so much, the table chat was about getting to know each other, tell the usual embarrassing jokes and keep it more than just civil-make it warm and fuzzy.
It reminded me of those Christmas cease-fires we've read about over the past century, when warring factions laid down their arms and, for the most part, it was silent for 24 hours, until war-mongering governments ordered the fight to resume.
I believe that if you put a 5 year old Israeli in a sandbox with a 5 year old Palestinian, they don't know they are supposed to hate each other. Substitute any race, culture, faith and the same holds true.
It's us adults who teach the hate. It's not born. Now, I may have been lucky to spend the holiday with a family with opposing views but I also think I'm more the norm.
There are many things that keep me from drinking the Kool-Aid or singing 'Cumbaya' but once people stop talking, they start hating and then no one wins.
I know how idealistic I may sound and my East Coast friends may accuse me of selling out. No..I want a country united and it does not mean I will not fight at every turn if I feel an action, law, policy or decision is wrong. What gives me the strength to be an activist is what, for whatever reason, those on the opposite felt they had to speak out.
Here's the bottom line. Oscar Wilde said: "After a good dinner one can forgive anybody, even one's own relations."
But Jim Butcher said: "There's nothing that makes you more insane than family. Or more happy. Or more exasperated. Or more… secure."
I had a very loving insane Thanksgiving and I am blessed. They're the only ones who will show up at my funeral.

TomW needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 48 designs submitted by 17 freelance designers.
We have been in business since 1998 but have never really had a brand/logo. Please help us! We are looking for a clean design with an "iconic" element.
We are looking for a "clean" and bold design that will be easily identifiable in our industry (Children's gear ... strollers mostly).
Our website is found at http://www.strollerdepot.com
We are also looking for some sort of "iconic" element. Meaning something that could be imprinted on shirts, hats, etc. that is easily understood and recognized. As an example, one of our suppliers (Phil & Ted's) uses the "&" (ampersand) with two little "wheels" below it (they make strollers/buggys) in all of their marketing materials ... very recognizeable and completely tied to their image and brand.
We are looking for this design because we have never really branded our site. We have been in business since 1998 and have a name and foothold in online children's retail, but are trying to establish better brand recognition.
- ???
- We just don't want it to be a ridiculously complex logo.
- Yeah, and we don't want rainbows!

- Commentary
By Cody Willard
Here are some of the questions to this week's Live Q&A chat from TradingWithCody.com along with a few emailed questions from Marketwatch The Cody Word readers. Join me next Wednesday at 2pm EST at TradingWithCody.com/chat or send me an email with your question at email@example.com.
Q. Cody, is this now a good time to scale into some FB calls and if so, what would you recommend? Also, are you going to be connected while on your honeymoon or off the grid? Thanks!
A. With Facebook /quotes/zigman/9962609 /quotes/nls/fb FB now down nearly 10% since we sold most of our FB calls for big profits, I'll likely look to scale into a few more again soon. I always suggest buying a first tranche and then scaling into more on weakness til you build a full position. And no, I'll send out a note to you guys tomorrow letting you know that I'm officially going off grid and out of the country to a remote location for R&R after I marry my dream girl this coming Saturday. I'll be back on January 28, full speed though.
Q. Cody what did you think of the FB search?
A. I think FB's new graph search is going to be awesome in a year or two. It'll take some time for everybody to learn to use it and for FB to tweak it just right, but suddenly the "Like" button at FB is worth, maybe 100X more today than it was yesterday, and marketers will really try to get people to "Like" their stuff from their FB accounts.
Q. Hey Cody, Thank-you for all of your hard work. What are your thoughts on ARM Holdings the stock and the company? ARMH stock has had a big run last year. Can the momentum and earnings continue, or is the valuation just too high now?
A. ARM Holdings /quotes/zigman/67211 /quotes/nls/armh ARMH is extended near-term and appears to be very expensive. Same as always. I like ARMH and in five to 10 years, it could have a $50 billion market cap, up from $18 billion today.
Q. Last week you closed out the remainder of your RIMM puts and wrote: "and I'm worried that the stock could rally into the hype of the actual rolling out of that stupid new OS … I'll look to re-enter these puts on strength, maybe if the stock gets over, say, $15 or so" RIMM has since rallied strongly on some heavy volume and is now in the 15 or so range, but it feels to me like it could go higher still. Have the prospects for RIMM improved in any significant respect? What are your thoughts now about an entry level price for shorting RIMM again? The next earnings report is not until end of March.
A. Yeah, I got lucky on the timing of both entering those Research in Motion /quotes/zigman/18534 /quotes/nls/rimm RIMM puts and then subsequently selling tranches the next day after it crashed post-earnings report. That stock has been on fire since I sold the last of those puts. I just don't think it's wise to try to game what the market is going to pay for RIMM's potential for the next few weeks at least. And this big number of app developers will likely get the analysts talking about RIMM being a viable eco-system once again. Patience on the RIMM for now.
Apps, as I have said for several years now, are the future of tech. The big question for RIMM investors is whether their own App Revolution can catch fire on this new BB10 platform. I'm doubtful. Stick with, as I've also said for years now, Apple and Google as the best plays on the growing app world.
And speaking of apps and weddings — As noted above, I'm officially going off grid and out of the country to a remote location for R&R after I marry my dream girl this coming Saturday. I'll be back on Jan. 28, full speed though. I'll probably have another post for you guys tomorrow, but in the meantime I invite you guys to check out today's "Featured Apps" on AppConsumer.com.

Here, CNN does a follow up of sorts but misses some very important points:
» Upstate NY students who claimed bias attack plead not guilty to charges
Point one:
Attorney Mark Mishler, who represents Agudio, said in a statement that the charges are "unwarranted."
"It is also unfortunate that some in the media and public appear to have reached a conclusion as to what occurred in this incident without actually having the information needed in order to reach such a conclusion …"
Note that Mishler is not talking about the conclusions jumped to by media and public after the initial reports by the three blacks. No. No. No. He's saying we're making false conclusions concerning the three blacks.
In other words, to Mishler and his black client, the conclusional jump [is that a real word?] made in bias against the whites on the bus were justified and natural; presumably because all whites are racists anyway and even if they didn't act on it they wanted to.
But conclusions we may have about the three blacks are not justified. Just because evidence now indicates the three blacks not only lied about being assaulted but were in fact the aggressors, that is no reasonable foundation for making the conclusion that the three blacks were the racists.
Because as we all know now, after about a decade of brainwashing, only whites can be racist.
Point two:
"What happened on the bus was not a 'hate crime,'" Wiley, the university police chief, said. "The only person we heard uttering racial epithets was one of the defendants."
Did you catch that? At first, the whites on the bus were guilty of 'hate crime' for physically assaulting blacks while uttering racial epithets. But now it's the blacks on the bus who physically assaulted whites while uttering racial epithets but they are NOT guilty of 'hate crime'.
I'm sure Al Sharpton could explain away the logical conflicts here.

Even if millenials aren't swayed by the dramatic improvement in worldwide living standards, one would hope they would see the benefits of capitalism in the products and services that inhabit their world.
They live, and thrive, in a consumer-driven, on-demand society. They have immediate access, at their fingertips, to more knowledge, art, music, and communication than the wealthiest oligarch just a few decades ago.
Each and every one of the products and services they use every day was developed by someone chasing profit and market-share. It is a cliche to say that capitalism has powered the technological and scientific innovations that have improved all our lives. Apparently, however, it is a cliche that bears repeating.
This Leftist love affair with the dark side of power animates what is currently the loudest movement on the Left — the Black Lives Matter movement. Like locusts swarming crops, the Black Lives Matter activists are never still. Instead, they're constantly in motion identifying and punishing new "racial perpetrators." First, with the springboard of the Michael Brown "hands up; don't shoot" canard, it was police forces, even though in many majority black communities, the police are a very thin blue line indeed between black predators and their black prey.
Frankly, I've been enjoying the spectacle of black activists turning on their most fervent cheerleaders in academia and Hollywood. There's no show better than watching institutions that have deliberately created victim classes in order to consolidate political power and revel in their self-appointed moral superiority finally fall prey to their own creations. Really, Karma can be a wonderful thing.
Black Lives Matter is going to punish the police officers who, while sometimes racist, are mostly the only thing that protect blacks from those in their own community who have become feral.
In America, white privilege doesn't just happen because the magic mantle of success falls upon whites. It happens because whites, more than blacks, first get educated, then get married, then have children, which is the common denominator in all upward mobility. Too many blacks ignore education and marriage, and simply have children.
Trump said these things about George Bush (Bush lied!!!) with a demeanor that looked somewhat unhinged. So there were two messages in his statements—content and process, as it were. The content was pretty far out (and leftist) to begin with, especially for a GOP primary in SC, and the process was also pretty far out, too: his emotional state, and his interpersonal behavior, which came across as childish.
» ISIS WMD attack in Iraq against Kurds. You know: the place without WMDs.
The question now is whether Obama will break his campaign promises on presidential power in order to fulfill his campaign promise to close Guantanamo.

"Increasing MySQL Performance through Aggressive Data Archiving Database" by David Berube
This talk comes straight from its debut at Percona Live - and it's free!
Many strategies exist for increasing the performance of a database system. Some attempt to make each access to the data faster: for example, faster hardware may be used, or system settings may be tweaked. Other approaches attempt to decrease the total number of database operations: for example, by caching database queries or entire pages. Nevertheless, generally, performance decreases as the sytem grows larger, and as a result, access times increase; after at certain point, it may be difficult to offset this increase with additional hardware.
It is also true, however, that "not all data is created equal" - some data is far more relevant than others. Although MySQL and other RDBMses attempt to give priority to frequently accessed data, it can be said that MySQL performance still decreases with table size - older, infrequently accessed data can slow down systems significantly. Archiving this data can be a powerful and important approach to speeding up database systems - by decreasing the size of the working data set, nearly all operations become faster.
This talk will outline the use of pt-archiver to archive database tables; the design of simple archiving scripts in an application's host langauge, such as Ruby or Python, will also be briefly covered. A number of archiving strategies, from very simple to relatively complex, will be covered; for example, an enterprise application may decide to archive records after a certain period of activity. Some types of child records (i.e. unaccepted bids) may be deleted or moved to "deep storage", whereas other types of child records (accepted bids) may be moved to a "staging area" - ready to be unarchived transparently when requested by a user. With some thought, it is nearly always possible to develop an archiving scheme that balances business needs and the desire for performance.
Finally, some consideration will be given to the various options for storing the archived data, including archive tables, flat files (CSV, XML, SQL), and document stores (MongoDB, et al.) Each have different advantages and disadvantages, and choosing an appropriate approach can be very important.

We were all in love with you at one time or another and it did not make any impression on you, I think, but who could know, what went on in that beautiful head of yours?
I never knew you, but we standup comics are like cops. When one of us goes down, we all go down. Sure, we will make fun of it, tell bad jokes about it, set up a Standup Comedy Suicide Pool, but inside, we know we might be next. Then we will secretly, quietly, weep at the loss of another one of us, because in a way, we are all one tribe, a kind of insane secret nation, our very own special brand of idiot savants.
We, the fucked up aliens, with that weird gift, frighteningly sometimes a curse, of being able to make other people laugh, so that they always assume you are a happy person, that you got it all going on, that you got it all, you got your shit together and it's all good, it's all good. But you know, people like us, we don't have it together – not in the least, and nobody knows. Nobody wants to know. Nobody wants to know how bad it is in here, in this head, in this body, and they just want the funny guy back, that is what the audience pays for, and that is what they will get, night after night, year after year. And that's dangerous. That stupid mythology of the tears of the clown is really no myth. It is a pair of hard, cement block shoes of truth that will drown us if we don't watch ourselves, keep our noses clean, watch our backs, protect ourselves from ourselves.
What happened? You had everything, as far as I could see, and then you had nothing, but then who can know what happens inside someone's mind, and especially one that worked as well as yours did. You were so funny. My friend was very young, and loved you for a time, maybe twenty or so years ago, and she still loves you, and we said a prayer today for you, burned a candle, thought about the blue shirt you wore, the jaded look on your face, the hair so dark that it blacked out all reason for the young girls who crowded around you, to be near you. Your strange way of speaking, slow, methodical, sarcastic, and then just really perfect, because you looked so perfect. Everything you did seemed so perfect. But you killed yourself anyway.
I am sorry Drake. I love you, but I didn't know you. You were so fucking funny. I am sad to see you go. Whatever that was, that made you take yourself out, I can only hope it is better now, and that heaven is nice, and that you are in the company of comics that you liked, and that everything is good. That it really is all good, it's all good now. Good night. Thank you and good night.

There is currently no available "Beginner" label. The following is the default level label: A couple sits on their wagon before the old Post Office building in Deerfield, Massachusetts. The building behind them was built as a school by the town in 1842 and was used until 1874 when another building was constructed. The building was then turned to commercial and other uses, including being used as a Grange Hall. The National Grange, or the Order of Patrons of Husbandry, was founded in 1867 as a fraternal organization of men and women. It was loosely based on other societies of the 19th century. The national organization opposed what it saw as the exploitation of farmers by big-city capitalists and railroad companies. In the 1870s its membership boomed due to a severe economic depression that badly hurt farmers. Around that time, a chapter was established in Deerfield. Although the national organization declined in the years after 1880, it persisted in many New England towns.

Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,

When you write like I do about really serious issues — the financial meltdown, the lack of integrity of many business and political leaders, the pathetic early season performance of the Cleveland Indians, etc. — it's difficult not to become a little cynical about things. You know. It's not just that the glass is always half-empty. It's that some asshole is drinking out of your glass while you're not looking.
Well, my faith in the greatness of this nation was restored yesterday during a visit to Kent State.
I'm helping the Wick Poetry Center with its celebration plans and communications during this its 25th anniversary year. And I'm even posting regularly on another blog — one designed to spotlight the Wick Poetry Center and serve as a resource for poets and other writers.
After finishing our noontime meeting, I headed back to get my car at the Student Center. When you are no longer a member of the faculty, you quickly learn that the most important benefit of teaching is not tenure, but a parking pass. So I headed to the exit with my parking ticket and folding green in hand.
But wait. A sign below the window on the toll booth (or whatever it is called) proudly proclaimed: We honor Golden Buckeye Cards.
Say what? OK. Another life-defining moment. Do I or don't I? I caved — and handed my Golden Buckeye Card to the parking attendant.
The gate magically swung up. I was free to go. No charge. All I could do was wave at the attendant — and snicker at the guy in the car next to me who was calmly giving up several of his hard-earned dollars.
Jimmy Carter's right. Life isn't fair.
And clearly this is a great country where someone like me can park free on a college campus. While students who are for the most part working or borrowing money to attend classes have to pay.
Note to Obama. Don't even think about putting pressure on Strickland and his pals in Columbus to get rid of the Golden Buckeye. You can only take this notion of redistributing wealth so far.

Lee Social Worker Wins Outstanding Mentor Award
Marcella Fulmore connects African American high school students with Springfield Elementary mentees.
When she started college at Norfolk State University in Virginia, Marcella Fulmore was an engineering major. She loved the math, but impersonal labs and the prospect of a cold, money-driven career forced her to make a decision. When considering her transition, she remembered how in high school, people would come to her with their problems. "I just thought, 'I could help people,'" Fulmore said. "That's it."

I have never visited China yet. I am contemplating if it is better to go for a vacation or to actually visit factories.
Chinese manufacturers have become very good at what they do so I am wondering if it is worth doing factory visits. My thought is that it is only worth when you want to do innovations on the manufacturing side, have a plan for long-term collaborations or you want to impact the Chinese economy and learn about the culture.

RICHMOND, Ky. – High voltage and high intensity led to high drama Saturday night, until Tennessee Tech finally turned out the lights on Eastern Kentucky.
Tech's uptempo, fast-paced play helped the Golden Eagles generate a commanding edge in rebounds and sparked a 64 percent shooting mark, a combination that led to a 78-66 Ohio Valley Conference victory on the road at Eastern Kentucky Saturday night.
With the win, Tech salvaged an important split in their two-game conference swing through Kentucky's infamous "Death Valley" to Morehead State and EKU. It left Tech with a 7-7 overall record and a 3-2 mark in the league. EKU dropped to 7-9 overall and 2-4 in the conference.
Tech was 27-for-42 from the field for 64.3 percent accuracy, including seven 3-pointers in 12 tries, a 58.3 percent mark from outside the arc. The Golden Eagles were 17-for-20 at the line for 85 percent. All three were season-high marks for Tech.
The Golden Eagles also owned a 29-16 advantage on the glass.
The game showcased a distinct difference in styles between the two squads. Tech worked at speeding things up and creating transition scoring chances, while EKU relied heavily on long-range shooting.
When the Colonels' normally accurate shooters couldn't find the range during the middle portion of the game, the Golden Eagles took advantage to build a lead that grew to as many as 14 points midway in the second half. That came with 11:49 remaining when Dillard took a feed from Swansey and made a layup to put Tech on top 53-39.
Then, when EKU matched Tech's energy and zeroed in on the basket late in the game, the Colonels scrambled back into the contest to make it exciting. A 14-3 EKU run made it 56-53 with 7:39 to play, and EKU got within three points two more times with about five minutes remaining.
Leading 63-60, Bailey keyed a 13-2 Golden Eagle run that regained a double-figure advantage. Swansey's three-point play started the rally, and Bailey netted 10 straight points and Tech was up 76-62 with 1:30 left.
Bailey and Jud Dillard (photo left) each scored 15 points to pace Tech and lead five Golden Eagles in double figures. Bailey was 4-for-5 from the field, 3-for-3 from long range and 4-for-4 from the free throw line to hit his season-high. Dillard had a double-double with 15 points and 10 rebounds.
Zac Swansey also achieved a double-double, getting 13 points and a career-high 10 assists. Kevin Murphy (above right) finished with 11 points and Alfred Jones added 10 points.
EKU had three players in double figures, led by Spencer Perrin's 20 points on 8-for-10 shooting. Josh Daniel was 5-for-6 and added 16 points, while Willie Cruz scored 15.
Tech had a 40-18 edge in scoring in the paint, and a 20-8 margin in bench scoring.
