Annualized trade growth of 8.0 per cent between New Brunswick and U.S. since 1990
FREDERICTON, NEW BRUNSWICK--(Marketwire - Oct. 3, 2012) - The Canada-U.S. Free Trade Agreement (FTA), and the subsequent North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), have played a critical role in the development of both the Canadian and New Brunswick economies over the last quarter century, according to a new report from BMO Economics released on the 25th anniversary of the signing of the FTA.
"Bottom Line, the FTA and NAFTA were critical in helping modernize the Canadian economy and have ultimately played a big role in transforming Canada from a relative underachiever among industrial world economies to a relative overachiever," said Doug Porter, Deputy Chief Economist, BMO Capital Markets.
"Of course, there have been a number of reforms Canada has taken over the years, but in many respects the FTA paved the way," noted Mr. Porter. "The deal sharply clarified trade and investment rules within North America, and likely helped avert serious protectionist measures from arising within the region during the steep economic downturns of the past decade. There has been a net strengthening in North American trade and foreign investment flows, and the deal helped grease the slide for Canadian inflation."
The report notes that, while total bilateral trade with the U.S. rose from just over 31 per cent of GDP prior to the FTA to a peak of 56.7 per cent in 2000, the level has since receded to just over 36 per cent. "This retreat in trade doesn't mean the FTA hasn't been a success," stated Mr. Porter. "The split personality of Canadian exports to the U.S. in the past quarter century says as much about the wild swings in the Canadian dollar and the significant adjustments in the U.S. economy as they do about the underlying strength of trade. Measured in U.S. dollar terms, export progress appears much steadier over the first 20 years of the agreement."
"Total trade between New Brunswick and the United States has risen at an annualized rate of 8.0 per cent a year since 1990," said Allison Hakomaki, District Vice-President, New Brunswick and PEI, BMO Bank of Montreal. "Free trade has contributed to the health of key industries in our province by providing strong access to markets south of the border."
Beyond increasing trade, the FTA and NAFTA also aimed to strengthen and improve the environment for cross-border investment, especially foreign direct investment. "Overall, the FTA should be judged a success on this front. Foreign direct investment from the U.S. into Canada averaged just $1.7 billion annually in the six years prior to the FTA, and $4.7 billion per year in the first six years of the FTA, but then has shot up to $19.8 billion per year since 1995," said Mr. Porter. "As a share of GDP, those figures are 0.3 per cent, 0.7 per cent and then all the way up to 1.6 per cent. A little more than half of the inflows since 1995 have been in the resource and financial services sectors."

Warner Theatre presents Dickens musical premiere
"Magic Tree House: A Ghost Tale for Mr. Dickens"
A new musical about Charles Dickens and the holiday season -- "Magic Tree House: A Ghost Tale for Mr. Dickens" -- will be getting its first public performances at the Warner Theatre in Torrington.
The show is based on the best-selling children's book by Mary Pope Osborne, who will be doing question-and-answer sessions after the performances on Friday, Dec. 20, and Saturday, Dec. 21.
The event is a coup for the Torrington theater, education director Isabel Carrington said in an interview last week.
"We presented an earlier version of the script without music last year as part of our young actors' series," Carrington said of the workshop that was presented by the acting students at the Warner Theatre's Center for Arts and Education.
Jenny Laird, who adapted the book as a stage piece and who lives in nearby Massachusetts, came to see the show with her husband, Randy Courts, who has done the music for her other "Magic Tree House" plays.
"All I could do was watch them watch the show," Carrington recalled, with a chuckle. "Randy was just beginning the process of adding the music so he was able to see where (all of the songs) should go.
"Our students were excited to put on a work in progress and to contribute their ideas to Jenny and Randy."
Carrington was thrilled last summer when Osborne's husband/collaborator, Will, called to say that the musical version was finished and "wouldn't it be great to have it debut in the same place where the non-musical version debuted."
Osborne's book, "A Ghost Tale for Mr. Dickens," is part of the enormously popular "Magic Tree House" series in which young Jack and Annie go on various adventures.
In this story, the enchanted tree house allows them to travel back in time to visit Charles Dickens. When the great writer questions the meaning of his own work, the kids make Dickens aware of the lasting power of his writing.
The show in Torrington will be done in concert style without a lot of sets and costumes. The cast will include adult actors who have toured in "Magic Tree House: The Musical" as well as students from the Warner Arts and Education Center.
"We just want everyone to have a first look at the script and the music together," Carrington said of the two performances that will precede the licensing of the show to theaters and schools all over the country.
Mary and Will Osborne will be at both shows to do talk back sessions with the audience.
"So, the audience will be a part of the process, too. We are just very excited about this opportunity," Carrington said.

Ring set with pavé diamonds, in yellow gold
This Toi et Moi Serpent Bohème ring celebrates the love between Frédéric Boucheron and his wife Gabrielle: it is a reminder of the jewel he gave her in 1888 which was also a symbol of protection.
The drop motif bordered by gold beads adds exquisite detail and expresses the expert precision of the jeweler.
The heads of the snakes cross to symbolize the eternal bind between two lovers.
Frédéric Boucheron is born in 1831 into a family of clothiers. He breaks with family tradition at a young age to open his jewelry shop. Having learnt much about delicacy in materials, he begins to make his gold work as supple as the fabrics and lace of his childhood. Success is immediate and soon the whole of Paris is rushing to the door of his Palais Royal boutique. In 1893, he is the first jeweler to open a boutique Place Vendôme, making this place a showcase of savoir-vivre, savoir-faire and French elegance that has no equal in the world. It is Frédéric Boucheron's unique ability to capture the zeitgeist that also leads him to invent new ways of wearing jewelry. His success spreads abroad and the order books start to include the names of members of Royal families and later of Hollywood's biggest stars.Discover all of the Boucheron moments

I really, REALLY think that getting more gestural/simplified/minimal makes all the sense. I think I can't get into it because I'd fail miserably, since I can't emulate artistic maturity... but if I don't start trying, I'm not sure I'll ever get there, will I?
What do you think? Should simplification be pursued? Most artists tend to get their work more complex with time, but it doesn't make any sense to me to pursue that.

Inside every plant is a natural anti-cancer pharmacy. The natural "chemotherapy" found in plants is safe, side-effect free, and expresses an intelligence of such brilliance that pharmaceutical companies are now studying them in an effort to learn how to create effective, but far less toxic, chemotherapy.
One family of vegetables called "cruciferous" vegetables (ie: broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, bok choy, and kale) contains several substances that are especially potent against breast cancer. One of the remarkable plant chemicals is called "indole-3 carbinol." Indole-3 carbinol lowers the risk of breast cancer in several ways: 1) it stops breast cancer cells from growing by shutting off a key enzyme; 2) it coerces estrogen to break down into a "good" (protective, non-cancer promoting) type instead of a "bad" (cancer-promoting) type; 3) it persuades a "tumor suppression" gene to "turn-on" which contains the commands for several crafty internal tactics to stop tumor growth; 4) it makes the estrogen receptor in breast cells less responsive to estrogen. In other words, when estrogen attaches to its receptor, breast cells won't divide as rapidly. That's important because the slower breast cells divide -- the lower your risk of breast cancer.
Here's 2 more important points: 1) Eat only organically grown produce to avoid pesticides and other harmful chemicals; 2) Indole-3 carbinol is destroyed by over-cooking so lightly cook cruciferous vegetables or eat them raw.

Are you sick of Summer League basketball yet? The Raptors path is set for this tournament format and they get the day off today having landed the 6th seed in the tournament. They will play the winner of the Pelicans vs. Nuggets set to tip off at 6pm local time in Toronto. The Raptors will play Thursday at that same time 6pm local against the winner.
If the Raptors win they would advance to the Quarter-Finals and essentially keep playing until they lose. If they were to lose that game on Thursday they would play a consolation round game on Friday and after that be done with Summer League.
At least this is how I have it all figured out. Make no mistake that while this tournament format is interesting it is just an excuse to try and make people buy into the fact that Summer League is relevant. When I say buy in I mean that quite literally. The NBA trying to sell these games and make a buck live in Las Vegas is one thing, to sell them online to have the privilege to see them is another.
Case and point the first half or more to the point the first quarter of the Raptors vs. Kings yesterday. It was so bad at the half TNT announcer Craig Sager was almost apologetic for what people had just seen. Even Sager is not going 100% in summer league. Where is the outlandish Hawaiian shit or long flowered patterned shorts?
What Summer League does do is give us a glimpse at the young players that are part of the roster and see how they are developing since April when the Raptors last played a game that counted in the standings. In that regard you can say the Raptors have been a success regardless of where this summer league squad ends up in this tournament. Jonas Valanciunas has been better and he is getting some experience at being the focus of defences trying to stop him. He has a lot of work to do in that regard as he needs to learn how to see and re-act to double teams better.
Terrence Ross got off to a slow start but has slowly started to produce. He is working on a much more grounded game in Summer League. Not much high flying as I think Acy and Jonas both have had more dunks than Terrence. Still I can't help but think given the level of competition we are talking about we should be seeing more out of Terrence Ross. His minutes this year will not be a guarantee like they were last year.
Perhaps the most pleasant surprise in summer league has been Quincy Acy. I never need to see Quincy Acy taking three point shots. I think this league in general has gone totally nuts with this idea of trying to get guys that are bangers to stretch the floor. The odds Quincy Acy can get an offensive rebound are much higher than if he can hit a three point shot. Despite the improvements it seems very tough to envision a lot of minutes for Acy unless injury woes hit the Raptors.
The only other roster player we have seen is Dwight Buycks and with only one game under his belt I don't feel ready to form an opinion on him as of yet. He wasn't bad in his debut with the Raptors and honestly to play point guard in Summer League is a tough challenge with so many players out for themselves the team concept gets lost. Also you get a lot of turnovers based on the lack of quality of players on the floor at times.
I will never be a fan of Summer League and it is not out of jealousy that I am not in Vegas to cover it. Maybe a little but in reality it just has been hyped up into a bigger event than it actually is. This is not just something we see in basketball but in all sports. Live coverage of the NFL Combine with a bunch of guys doing football drills? It just gets too much at the end of the day. We as society seem to want and crave any little nugget of information no matter how insignificant it may be.
Might have a surprise for you later tonight we shall see. If I don't will still be on the radio for my weekly visit with the guys on The Sports Grind that you can check out at 11:15pm on www.cjlo.com

Reposted from my blog:
Okay, this post is a personal expression of exasperation. Most of you won't care too much about this.
Last week my mother posts this on her Facebook for public consumption:
Then I post this to my Facebook:
To which I get this response in Facebook:
Obama: A man who represents death and evil.
I think that's a wee bit extreme. Really, this isn't funny. It scares me. If God existed, I'd ask him to grant me strength. All I have is my friends.
That's just the tip of the iceberg.
Views: 211
That is not exactly a flattering photo of Michelle and Barack Obama. What were you hoping to achieve by posting it?
Sadly, your mother's opinion about President Obama is not unusual among conservative Roman Catholics. I monitor the right-wing Catholic AM radio network owned by EWTN, whose commentators make the most absurd and stupid charges against President Obama and his administration. One wonders about that old Commandment about bearing false witness.
Yeah, I was just passing the photo along with the comment "Best photo of Obama ever". When it comes to Catholics, one thing I've noticed growing up in a fundie Catholic houshold is they don't seem to pay much attention to the Bible or the commandments. We never even read the Bible. They only paid attention to what the priests and the pope says.
I believe she thinks "feminist" is a dirty word.
We never even read the Bible. They only paid attention to what the priests and the pope says.
That seems to be the key thing that sets catholics apart from other christians. Their knowledge of christianity derives almost solely from the mouths of clergy. In my mind, that makes catholicism one of the most dangerous christian religions. You have millions of sheep happily relying on a shockingly small group of individuals - just one if we're being completely honest - to interpret their religious text for them, and therefore dictate their moral code. Few seem to realize they're being manipulated. I think a lot of the weird rituals catholics observe are made up and have no basis in the bible. I don't remember being encouraged to read the bible as a kid in catholic school. My mom, who happens to be the only person I know still actively catholic, has never read the bible in her life. If you get into a theological debate with her she quotes what she's heard from priests and nuns. The result is confusing and laughable.
I sympathize.
My own Catholic Mom® says the most nonsensical stuff. She's actually told me that I'm incapable of love since I don't believe it comes from god.

Car seats for babies and young children have been around for over 30 years. Even though car seats are available, many people do not use them. Each year thousands of young children are killed or injured in car crashes. You can protect your child by installing car safety seats in your car and using them every time you are in a car, on every road.
Car seats are engineered to help young children survive the very dangerous crash forces that occur during car accidents. Statistics show that in the period between 2003 and 2007 the UAE witnessed 241 crashes where 278 children between birth and 5 were injured. Nineteen children died.
Car seats are known to reduce the risk of injury and death for rear-facing infants by 71%. They are stronger than a parents' arms. They keep the fragile child contained in the strong shell while the harness spreads the crash forces over the strongest parts of their bodies: their shoulders and hips.
Children should ride in car safety seats until the vehicle seat belt fits them, usually when they weigh between 36 and 45 kg, are 145 cm tall and are between ages 8-12. Until then, children need the best protection available: a car safety seat that is the right size for the height, weight and age of the child. The proven and safest method available for child protection is a car safety seat specifically designed to hold the child in place, comfortably with maximum security.
INFANTS: For infants up to 14kg use an infant-only or convertible car safety seat. Keep it rear-facing and semireclined at no more than 45 degrees. Having the car safety seat rear-facing, allows the child's head, neck and shoulders to rest against the back of the seat during a head-on crash. Placing it in the correct semi-reclined angle at 45 degrees keeps the baby's head back, allowing him or her to breathe with an open airway. Be sure the harness comes from slots at or below the baby's shoulders and is snug when buckled so you cannot pinch extra webbing.
Use a tightly secured Latch system or seat belt to fasten the car safety seat to the car in a back seat. Place all children under 13 in a back seat. It is safest there. Never leave your child alone in a car.
Toddlers and children between 14 and 30 Kg: Use your convertible car safety seat in a forward-facing and upright position until your child reaches the maximum harness weight. Secure the top tether and seat belt tightly or use the Latch system. Check the harness to be sure it is snug and you cannot pinch extra webbing once buckled. Be sure the harness straps are coming from above the child's shoulders. Before moving your child too quickly into the next size car safety seat, check to be sure the child's shoulders are even with the highest harness slot, the tops of his or her ears are even with the back of the car safety seat, or he or she has reached the upper weight limits set by the manufacturer. Move to a booster seat once this seat is outgrown.
(when any one is met)
• The child's ears are now above the car safety seat shell
• The top harness slots are now below the child's shoulders
• The child's height exceeds the seat's height limit
• The child's weight exceeds the seat's weight limit
Children 30-45 Kg: Use a belt-positioning-booster seat with the vehicle lap-and-shoulder belt until your child is able to wear the adult seat belt properly. Your child will be between 8 and 12 years of age and will be about 145cm tall before the adult seat belt will fit properly.
Children over 46 Kg: Take the safety belt fit test: Have your child sit back with his or her back and bottom against the vehicle seat.
If his or her knees bend naturally at the edge of the seat, move to the next step. If not, return to the booster seat. Buckle the seat belt around the child. If the lap belt sits low on the hips, move to the next step. If not, return to the booster seat. Check the shoulder part of the seat belt. If it rests on the shoulder or collarbone, move to the next step. If not, return to the booster seat. NEVER place the shoulder belt under the arm or behind the back. This is very dangerous! If the child fits well in the seat belt, check to be sure he or she can maintain that position for the length of your trip. If so, he or she is ready to wear the adult seat belt. If not, return to the booster seat and check again in a few months.
5. Read and follow the instructions for your car safety seat.
6. Be sure all car safety seats are locked into the car using the latch system or the seat belt.

When choosing a flavor of ice cream, an item of clothing, or even a home, you might be better off letting your emotions guide you, finds a new study.
"Our current research supports theories in evolutionary psychology that propose that our emotions can be conceived as a set of 'programs' that have evolved over time to help us solve important recurrent problems with speed and accuracy, whether it is to fall in love or to escape from a predator," write authors Leonard Lee On Amir and Dan Ariely.
"We investigated the following question: To what extent does relying on one's feelings versus deliberative thinking affect the consistency of one's preferences?" write the authors.
To get at the question, the authors designed experiments where participants studied and chose among 8-10 products, sometimes relying upon their emotional reactions and sometimes calling upon cognitive skills.
Their conclusion: "Emotional processing leads to greater preference consistency than cognitive processing."
The researchers made some additional discoveries about eliciting consistent choices from participants.
The study participants tended to make more consistent choices when products were represented by pictures instead of names; when pictures were in color (rather than black and white); when participants were encouraged to trust their feelings when making their choices; when the participants had greater cognitive constraints (i.e., when they were asked to memorize a ten-digit number as opposed to a two-digit one); and when the products tended to be more exciting (a pen with a built-in FM radio receiver) rather than functional (an LED book light).
It seems the old adage "trust your heart" is true for consumers.
"If one buys a house and relies on very cognitive attributes such as resale value, one may not be as happy actually purchasing it," write the authors.
"Indeed, our results suggest that the heart can very well serve as a more reliable compass to greater long-term happiness than pure reason."
The report is found in the Journal of Consumer Research.

I think seriously I have to be done. I did something I am so horribly ashamed of after the game and I don't know that I can in good conscience watch another game EVER. I feel awful. Just awful.
I snapped at my kids and then threw the remote and it shattered against the wall and scared my kids. They both started crying. It's time for me to walk away. Everybody is really upset here. I think this is corny, but I also think it has to be my farewell. Sorry for putting it in the main forum, but it is most definitely Seahawks related, and I am sure many other fans are having a hard time coming to terms.
Let what I did be a lesson. I'm lucky no pieces hit my children. But I can't put them through that anymore. I love them with all my heart. More than the Seahawks. I've given the Seahawks 36 years of my life to get it done. They've come close. But I can't leave my family without a father due to a heart attack, and I can't ever EVER harm my children by my words or actions. They deserve a better father, and unfortunately the Seahawks don't bring that out of me. Please don't label me a quitter or a whiner or a baby. Understand that my life has been destroyed in the last two years financially, career-wise, emotionally, and physically. This is the proverbial straw I guess. I just can't do this anymore.
Please.... don't let this game get you like it did me. It was too much, so I step away and hope for a better future for the Hawks for all of YOUR sake. You guys deserve it. You put your butts in the seats and scream until your hoarse for this team. You 12's make me proud. I really have made some incredible friendships here, and hope to continue those, but after what I did today, I can NOT be involved in sports-fandom ever again. Now it's time to pick up the pieces so to speak and try to fix what I've done to my kids in scaring them senseless. No kid should ever have to be afraid of a game result because of how their Dad might handle it. My kids are awesome and they deserve better than the piece of crap I was today. Guilt overwhelms me. I am afraid for myself right now. I am sad for my kids. But I respect all of you and how you keep it together and find a balance where I never could.
Rock on 12's.
Jon Mohlman (the man behind the shark mask)

La Grange Police Arrests
Jan. 5 -- Corey R. Steinbach, 22, La Grange, was cited for failure to or improper signal, operating on suspended or revoked operator's license.
Jan. 8 -- Christopher L. Rahm, 43, La Grange, was cited for operating vehicle with expired operator's license.
Jan. 9 -- Margaret E. Gibson, 26, Lexington, was arrested for speeding seven mph over, operating motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol/drugs first offense, careless driving.
Local police are looking for a man they say made off with more than $6,000 in Apple electronics.
The first meeting of the year for the Oldham County Local Emergency Planning Committee included an introduction of two new chiefs to the county.
La Grange Police Chief Frank Conway was appointed in early January and he spoke to the committee about the plans for a better department.
"I would like to make this a more progressive department," Conway said.
First, Conway said he would like to add more officers to the staff.
Courtney Baxter, Commonwealth's Attorney for the 12th Judicial Circuit has hired the Hon. Matt Hudson (right) as a part-time Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney. Hudson was sworn in by the Hon. Judge Karen Conrad (left) on Jan. 6
An attorney for Harry "Shane" Mosley is petitioning Oldham Circuit Judge Karen Conrad to suspend the remainder of his nine month sentence, even though he has served less than one month of it.
Attorney Steve Schroering made the motion before Conrad last Thursday, acknowledging he was early on the usual 30-day window to request such a motion, but said he wanted to get it considered before Februrary.
The former county road superintendent and his father have pleaded not guilty to several charges against them, including abuse of public trust and theft by unlawful taking.
Lance Eric Lashley, the former superintendent, and his father, Jack Eric Lashley, were both indicted in December on multiple charges. Lance Lashley was indicted on one count of abuse of public trust (less than $10,000) and theft by unlawful taking, more than $500 but less than $10,000. Both are felony charges.
The former county road superintendent and his father have plead not guilty to several charges against them, including abuse of public trust and theft by unlawful taking.
Dec. 30 -- Larry D. Cox, 42, La Grange, was cited for shoplifting under $500.
Dec. 30 -- Jerica L. Armstrong, 24, Frankfort, was cited for possession of a controlled substance first degree, first offense.
Dec. 30 -- Gargia Osorio Celso, 31, La Grange, was cited for disregarding traffic control device-traffic light, no operator's license.
The former county road superintendent and his father have been indicted on a handful of charges, relating to an investigation into the misappropriation of county materials that started in April.
Lance Eric Lashley, the former superintendent, and his father Jack Eric Lashley, were indicted by an Oldham County grand jury in December. The two were directly indicted by the grand jury and have not been arrested or appeared in court on the charges.
The New Year will bring some changes to the North Oldham Fire Department.
Beginning Jan. 1, the NOFD will be going from a volunteer and paid staff to one paid crew to provide both day and night fire protection coverage, according to Chief Tim Conway.
"Over the years our qualified volunteer numbers have dwindled and participation levels of many of our volunteers has gotten sparse," Conway said. "We are not providing the fire protection coverage our taxpayers deserve."

Lesson 1: The Nation's Beginnings: The Federalists & Antifederalists
Summary question: Why was the concept of a military establishment controversial enough to be discussed thoroughly by each side of the ratification debate? How does this debate encapsulate several other controversies about power and the American future present during our republic's infancy?
Lesson 2: The Nation's Beginnings: The Washington Presidency & Pacificus-Helvidius
Summary question: Using the text of the Constitution, explain how Pacificus and Helvidius derived their respective positions from the document. When you cannot support a position from the text or a logical deduction from it, explain how the extra-constitutional position relates to the founding document.
Lesson 3: The Early Republic I
Summary question: How have the debates about foreign policy and security remained the same and changed since the ratification of the Constitution and the Washington Administration to the time of the War of 1812?
Lesson 4: The Early Republic II
Summary question: Are President Adams' and Monroe's opinions about the scope of American might fundamentally incompatible? If they are, why are they so? If they are not, how are they to be reconciled?
Lesson 5: After the Civil War
Summary question: How is our foreign policy and military policy changed by thinking of ourselves as a united nation with collective moral responsibilities rather than the earlier idea of "going not abroad seeking monsters to destroy"?
Lesson 6: The World Wars
Summary question: Do the two presidents lay out the cases for their wars in rhetorically or morally similar ways, despite their differing historical situations? For instance, how does the concept of progress figure in either speech?
Lesson 7: The Cold War
Summary question: What case(s) do President Truman and Kennan make for waging the Cold War, and do those cases demonstrate any or all of the claims made by Garrett about the republic after World War II?
Lesson 8: Varieties of Conservative Foreign Policy
Summary question: If we cannot speak of a monolithic conservative approach to foreign policy and security, can we posit the existence of a characteristically conservative attitude or set of ideas visible in the actions and thoughts of conservative statesmen and diplomats in American history?

Wickwire necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 81 diseños de 30 diseñadores freelance.
I am looking for a simple, clean logo to serve as the logo on my new website and possibly on my ebook cover.
As the title states, I am looking for a very simple, clean logo. Here are a couple of examples of logos that I like:
I'm not looking for an exact copy of these logos, but these logos should be used as an example of the type of simplicity and cleanliness that I'm looking for.
The colors currently being used at PPC Management Profits.com are placeholder colors and will not be the colors used for the actual site. Therefore, do not rely on those colors for your logo design.
If you are chosen as the winner, once you receive payment, I will own all rights to the logo.
This is my first 99Designs contest, so if I've left anything out, please let me know, and I'll be glad to add it. Thanks in advance for submitting work and good luck!
- I want the logo to contain two colors.
- I want black to be one of those colors.
- The other color should be either some shade of blue or a shade of green. I leave that choice up to you.(Nothing bright though. i.e. no neon green, etc)
- You may choose to display the logo as separate words or as one unit, whichever you think looks best.
- Whichever display method you choose, the words should be capitalized as follows: PPC Management Profits
- The logo should contained the TM for trademark in much the same way as Continuity Blueprint.
- The logo may contain a small graphic similar to continuity blueprint's logo, if you think it will add to your design, but it's not required. Graphics can be found at stockxpert.com, or a similar site.
- The logo should have a white background
- The logo should be written in a straight line
- The final logo should be provided in a vector format like that produced by Adobe Photoshop and, for good measure, as a JPG as well.
- Do not include .com in the logo
- Do not use more than two colors
- Do not submit a design that looks like it was created in Word
- Do not use a crazy font that is difficult to read
- Do not underline the logo
- Do not curve or angle the logo (i.e. do not layout the logo in a circle around a graphic or as a stair step, etc)

Jean Robic.
Frenchman, Jean Robic stood almost 5 feet tall and weigh a scant 132 Ibs. Maybe because it was due to the 'Napoleon complex,' that made this tiny athlete an obnoxious & spiteful personality of the peloton. He wasn't dashing or even good looking. Fellow riders called him, 'Biquet' or kid goat. And after fracturing his skull at the 1944 Paris-Roubaix he started to wear a leather helmet. And with huge ears sticking out, he was called, 'tete de cuir' or leather head. Journalists already endured him, 'le farfadet de la lande Bretonne' - the hobgoblin of the Brittany moor. His 'popularity' was just beginning...
The 1947 Tour was dubbed, 'the Liberation Tour,' as a new France emerged from out of the ashes of the war. Robic was twenty-five, his first Tour, a newlywed, rode for the lesser western regional team, and had the right amount of cockiness to challenge sentimental favorite, Rene Vietto. The tiny Robic rode on a 19 inch frame, turning very long 172 mm cranks while pushing 44X21. He won three stages and was at the top of GC. On the final stage Robic attacked dropping his main rivals including the race leader Pierre Brambilla and won the Tour into the Parc des Princes without having worn the yellow jersey. L'Equipe named Robic, Jean le hargneux - the fierce. Post war France had a new hero.
Leatherhead in the mountains, 1947 Tour.
In the 1953 Tour, Pyrenee stage to Luchon, his climbing was still good but he was too light to gain time on the downhills. With the help from his director sportif, his aluminum water bottles were filled with lead. At every summit, Robic was handed what appeared to be a 'normal' bottle ...only to rocket him down into victory in Luchon. The next day he crashed and withdrew from the race. He rode the Tour again in 1954, '55 and '59 without finishing.
In 1980, Jean Robic tragically died in a car accident on his way home from celebrating the Tour victory of Joop Zotemelk. He was only 59!
Robic mania, 1947 Tour.

Special Note: It's impossible to limit this post to two parts, as originally planned. The richness of Heartland talent necessitates a Part III! Today's alphabetically arranged post ends with K for Kate Kuper. Part III will open with Bruce O'Brien and conclude with Barb Tilsen. Stay tuned!
Hello, everyone. Ms. Brigid here, from Merit School of Music in Chicago, IL. Thank you for joining me.
I'm focusing on artist's whose work I use consistently. You'll notice that specific songs are mentioned with ideas for use. Sound sample links are provided when available. Please remember that this list is intended to be a gateway and is in no ways exhaustive.
|Karen Banks-Lubicz
About Karen: "Music has always been a part of Karen's life, and she's grateful to be able to share it with people of all ages as a Wiggleworms teacher…" at Chicago's beloved Old Town School of Folk Music (OTSFM). She also teaches in Ravinia's outreach program, Reach, Teach, Play.
Kiddo Faves: From Karen for Kids
Back and Forth – the perfect rocking song, either alone or with a partner. The melody and lyrics are enchanting, and invite one and all to "make music a part of your day." Linda Robertson, also from OTSFM, recorded it on her lovely CD – so you can listen to a bit!
Hush Little Baby - performed in a minor key. I use it as a comparative listening example after my classes have learned and sung the song along with Marla Frazee's book of the same name. I wrote briefly about this process in a previous post.
Bom Bom Biddy – a nigun, or song without words, is a surefire hit with little ones, and uses tempo as a driving element. The ending ("shhh") can also be used additively. For those of you with older kiddos, here's a challenge! (Note: the tune is a different tonality, but it's essentially the same song – on steroids). It's amazing how complicated a few syllables can get!
Of Note: If I Were a Bird, the lyrical tribute to the power of imagination, co-written with Amy Lowe,* provides intriguing writing prompts for older kiddos. It could even be the inspiration for a class book with illustrations contributed by students. *Amy Lowe also teaches at Merit!
2. Joanie Calem, OH.
|Joanie Calem
Kiddo Faves: From Dancing Through the Seasons with Joanie Calem.
Wintertime - Joanie paints evocative pictures with her lyrics, and after this year's polar vortex assault, I so appreciate her poetic approach to winter! I partner this song with the exquisite book, WINTER'S TALE by Robert Sabuda, which explores animals in their winter habitat though magical pop-ups (the crowd goes wild!). I move the verses around to pair with Sabuda's images, and use the chorus to transition between images: "Wintertime is cold time, slow time, snow time. Winter is the soft time of the year."
Snow is Falling - I love scale songs. This song goes from high to low, with the class moving as the words suggest. A glockenspiel is the perfect accompaniment. It's short, whimsical, allows for whole-body movement, and is sing-able (the key to success!). "Snow is falling down, down…"
Spring is A-Comin' is piggybacked on to the melody of Train is a-Comin' –and invites children to say and sing simple phrases relating to Spring (rain is a-fallin', birds are a –singin', etc.). The repetition of single phrases is great for ELL and our younger kiddos. Create your own class verses for other seasons!
Of Note: Joanie's has two other CD's: Shanah Tovah, Shanah M'tukah – A cycle of songs for the Jewish year (traditional and original songs) and But First Do No Harm, original songs written "for parents, family members, therapists, and teachers of children not on the neuro-typical path."
3. Laura Doherty, IL
|I'm a Little Fish
|Laura Doherty
Kiddo Faves:
Laura's videos are fantastic art collaborations – and never fail to delight my kiddos. Here are two:
I'm a Little Fish. I'm not sure which is more amazing - the banjo-playing octopus, or the crab walking down the sand bank!

|Wheels in the City
Wheels in the City. "Let's go looking for wheels in the city, rollin' rollin' round and round…" is a celebration of urban transportation and all things round.
|Goodbye Song
Of Note: I just saw Laura at my local Skokie Library. From past experience, I knew that she would beautifully engage the crowd with her songs and props, but I was unprepared for her artistry in another area - creating sound effects. A revelation!
4. Jim Gill, IL
|Jim Gill
Kiddo Faves:
Silly Dance Contest is a freeze dance, ideal for embracing then shaking sillies out when kiddos must remain inside due to inclement weather (too common in Chicago!). "Dance any way you want to, dance any way you please!....But stop when I say freeze!"
Silly Dance Contest is a freeze dance, ideal for embracing then shaking sillies out when kiddos must remain inside due to inclement weather (too common in Chicago!). "Dance any way you want to, dance any way you please!....But stop when I say freeze!"
May There Always Be Sunshine, is a lovely, composed, Russian song, which has become a signature piece for Gill. Years ago, with help from illustrator Susie Signorino-Richards, he turned the song into a book. The illustrations are based on suggestions offered by children he's sung with over the years. The end page of the book lists hundreds of ideas!* Both songs are on Jim Gill Sings the Sneezing Song and other Contageous Tunes.
|Two for Tea
Of Note: *This year, after singing May There Always Be Sunshine and sharing the book with my Merit families, I invited children to draw their response to "May there always be….." and made my first class e-books from their artwork – a resounding success. The drawings, ranging from tender to hilarious, clearly expressed each child's personality!
5. Kate Kuper, IL
|Kate Kuper
Kiddo Faves: From Alpha Beat – Songs, Dances, Poems, and Imaginary Journeys for Children.
The "Gentle Warm Up" section is lovely, and very singable. Tracks 3-5 reference the melody "Old Joe Clark."
Action Dance – Verbs are our friends. Over thirty of them are used in this guided, stay on one spot, movement piece! Locomotor Movement "goes from one place to another."
Swirl and Twirl, evolves, using spoken and "instrument only" tracks, into The Snowflake Dance. The clearly designed Companion Guide can be downloaded from her Home page under AlphaBeat, and contains substantive material related to each track.
Of Note: Kate is a master rhymer and wordsmith, with a pocketful of great classroom management directions, e.g., "Stand tall, one and all." Her blog, Let's Talk Creative Dance, further amplifies how movement, music and literacy can support learning.

Bamboozle Festival 2013 Cancelled
Two months after organizers announced that the Bamboozle festival would not be returning to Asbury Park, N.J., next year, the entire 2013 festival has been cancelled. "We are sad to announce we will miss all of you in 2013 but keep your eyes peeled for 2014 info," reads a Facebook post from the event's organizers. "Have a warm and safe holiday season!" No reason for the decision was given.
The Bamboozle began as the Great Bamboozle in 2003. It was held in Asbury Park, N.J., before moving in 2006 to the parking lot of Giants Stadium at the Meadowlands Sports Complex in East Rutherford, N.J. There it remained until moving back to Asbury last year with an eclectic bill featuring Foo Fighters (pictured above), Skrillex, My Chemical Romance and Bon Jovi as headliners.
In October, organizers announced an alternate site to Asbury Park was being sought for Bamboozle 2013. "We're always trying to provide Bamboozle fans with the most spectacular musical experience possible," a spokesman told The Star-Ledger. "We haven't made final plans for Bamboozle '13, but will let everyone know as soon as they're finalized."
With Bamboozle plans now finalized for 2013 -- that is, no plans -- summer 2014 seems a long, long way away. But fans will have to wait at least until then for the return of the festival, which would have kicked off its second decade if held in 2013.

WATCH: Siobhan Magnus, CEO Fred O'Regan and others at the 2012 IFAW Animal Action Awards
CEO Fred O'Regan, Siobhan Magnus and other IFAW staff discuss the 2012 Animal Action Awards.
There are three things I like best about my job: sharing my passion for animal welfare and conservation with young people, spending time with individuals who work on the ground protecting animals, and meeting our supporters, who make everything we do to save animals possible.
Last week, I was lucky enough to experience all of my favourite things at one incredible event to honor the United States winners of the 2012 IFAW Animal Action Awards, which are part of our international Animal Action Education program, the largest and longest-running animal welfare initiative of its kind in the world.
It was an evening to celebrate the passion, dedication and achievements of some of the often unsung animal heroes whose activities are making a positive difference for animals:
Environmental journalist John Platt turned his concern about the plight of endangered species into influential and inspiring career as a writer for Scientific American. Platt's Extinction Countdown blog is the world's first (and longest-running) news source devoted entirely to endangered species. Through more than 1300 articles, Platt raises awareness about animal welfare and conservation issues every day among thousands of national and international readers. His thoughtful articles explore not just why animal populations are diminishing, but also what is being done to protect them.
Health teacher Paula McMahon brought her passion for animals to the students at Chatham High School, founding an after-school Animal Welfare Club that has become a model for youth advocacy and volunteerism that could extend to schools throughout the region and beyond. The group, which includes 15 students aged 14-18, have taken over operation of the town's temporary animal shelter in conjunction with the Chatham Animal Control Officer. They do everything from raising the funds for animal care and any needed medical treatment, to hand's-on work to rehab the shelter building and actual animal rescue and care.
- When 18-year-old Stephanie Leontiev learned that tigers are on the brink of extinction, she didn't just feel sad and move on. Instead, she founded the Youth for Conservation Forum at National Cathedral High School in Washington, D.C. to mobilize young people in raising awareness about the plight of wild tigers and other endangered species. The group - which has expanded to several other high schools and is recognized as the official youth partner of the World Bank's Global Tiger Initiative - will be holding their second March for Tigers at the National Zoo on June 2 – with Stephanie leading the way.
- Former congressman Jay Inslee has been one of the strongest champions for wildlife and the environment in Congress over the past few decades. He served in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1992 until this year, working on numerous efforts promoting species protection including introducing bills to protect big cats, crack down on puppy mills, protect great apes and increase penalties for animal fighting. Unfortunately, he couldn't make the awards ceremony but he had a pretty good excuse – he's out west in his home state of Washington running for Governor.
We were also honored to have a special guest, American Idol finalist Siobhan Magnus, to help present the awards – and it really made the day for the awardees, especially the teens. Siobhan, who sprang to national fame in 2010 with a voice that captures the heart and soul of rock & roll, rhythm & blues and everything in between, is passionate about advocating for animals and our shared environment.
Take a minute to watch this brief highlight video of the 2012 Animal Action Week Award ceremony above.

Paper gold presents problems for investors
Chasing after gold in hopes of finding fortune isn't a new strategy, but investors seeking out shiny coins and bars today might end up owning nothing more than paper.
This year the U.S. Commodities Futures Trading Commission issued a warning on gold scams and then earlier this month brought charges of fraud against Las Vegas-based Hunter Wise Commodities and 11 other firms for allegedly selling off-exchange gold contracts while promising to deliver the real stuff and also providing phantom loans to investors for the purchases. In all, the CFTC says Hunter Wise took in $46 million in funds in the course of a year for gold it didn't have.
On Tuesday, gold settled at $1,711.30 an ounce, off $3.20 from the previous day. The metal is up 7 percent in the last six months from $1,598.60.
Fred Jager, chief executive officer of Hunter Wise Financial, the parent company of the commodities group, said via email Tuesday that he was unable to comment pending his own firm's countersuit.
Hunter Wise filed a suit against the federal regulator in September, charging the commission with overstepping its bounds on how it defined the delivery of gold.
Hunter Wise claims it does not have to hand over the gold it buys or transfer it to a third party, but instead stores it in its own warehouse.
While the legal battle continues, one veteran Connecticut coin dealer says it's a controversy that gold buyers can easily avoid.
"The most important thing, if you're buying gold, is to take physical delivery of it," said Bob Walter, owner of Westport-based Sam Sloat coins. "So many times, people are selling gold they don't have. It's very easy to make it appear they have gold."
Walter said he remembers a scam in the 1980s where a firm spray-painted wood blocks gold and photographed it in a vault while drumming up business.
Walter would not speak directly to the Hunter Wise case, instead he offered some general tips on how to avoid scams.
One of the first clues there might be a problem with the offer is the price, he said. He's had customers show him internet advertisements selling gold at prices dealers don't even get.
If you decide to buy, do some homework, he said. Get references and check them out.
Walter also said there are local, reputable gold dealers around, so there better be a compelling reason to do business with someone out of state. And he said, make the person prove it.
Attorney Rick Slavin, principal and chair of Cohen and Wolf's securities practice and a former regulator, said gold is attractive to some investors and as a result, scams can arise.
"It's always a hedge against the market," he said. "So people latch onto it."
Slavin said there are different gold strategies and the one he sees people pursue the most is to buy into funds that invest in gold or in mines. It's an indirect strategy, he said.
And then there are the investors who buy gold bars and coins; "They want to feel the gold in their hands."
Slavin was not keen on off-exchange certificates for gold or other commodities. He said when he was a regulator he investigated a forward futures broker for coal that was providing coal certificates for coal that didn't exist.
Hunter Wise's problem could be solved a lot easier than through a court case.
"Show the CFTC the gold," he said.
The CFTC spokesman said he could not discuss the case beyond the complaint and press release and would not disclose if any Connecticut investors were affected.
Hunter Wise does have a Connecticut pipeline. Its sister brokerage firm, California-based Hunter Wise Securities is registered in Connecticut.
The State Banking Department, which regulates the brokerage business here, would neither confirm nor deny whether there were any complaints against HWS in the state.

The result of lspci ( I am using a pci soundcard) may be found at http://codepad.org/TG5f62jk
Please request any other information which may be useful in diagnosing the problem
I mostly just need to be able to get any sound from the input so I can stream it. On a slightly unrelated note, is there an oss equivalent of alsa's arecord? I would like away to test my input aside from attempting to stream from the server.

Renowned Victorian author Lewis Carroll was born Charles Lutwidge Dodgson on January 27, 1832, in Daresbury, Cheshire, England. The son of a clergyman, Carroll was the third child born to a family of eleven children. From a very early age he entertained himself and his family by performing magic tricks and marionette shows, and by writing poetry for his homemade newspapers. In 1846 he entered Rugby School, and in 1854 he graduated from Christ Church College, Oxford. He was successful in his study of mathematics and writing, and remained at the college after graduation to teach. His mathematical writings include An Elementary Treatise on Determinants (1867), Euclid and His Modern Rivals (1879), and Curiosa Mathematica (1888). While teaching, Carroll was ordained as a deacon; however, he never preached. He also began to pursue photography, often choosing children as the subject of his portraits. One of his favorite models was a young girl named Alice Liddell, the daughter of the Dean at Christ's Church, who later became the basis for Carroll's fictional character, Alice. He abandoned both photography and public speaking between 1880 and 1881, and focused on his writing.
Many of Carroll's philosophies were based on games. His interest in logic came purely from the playful nature of its principle rather than its uses as a tool. He primarily wrote comic fantasies and humorous verse that was often very childlike. Carroll published his novel Alice's Adventures in Wonderland in 1865, followed by Through the Looking Glass in 1872. Alice's story began as a piece of extemporaneous whimsy meant to entertain three little girls on a boating trip in 1862. Both of these works were considered children's novels that were satirical in nature and in exemplification of Carroll's wit. Also famous is Carroll's poem "Jabberwocky," in which he created nonsensical words from word combinations. Carroll died in Guildford, Surrey, on January 14, 1898.

It wasn't a very well-kept secret, and that was even before the WWE started signing guys like Sabu, Balls Mahoney and Axl Rotten. It was rumored long before Joey Styles "walked off" his job last Monday on Raw. Hardcore fans rejoice -- ECW is coming back.
Giving credit where credit is due, the WWE is saying and doing all the right things to make ECW 2.0 a success. Bringing in former stars of the federation is a no-brainer, as there aren't enough alumni on the current roster to run a separate brand. And even if there were, you wouldn't want to gut your core product to do it.
Word is that Paul Heyman and Tommy Dreamer will run the show, and the product will be permitted to be more violent than current televised fare. That's another smart move, as watered down won't cut it for ECW. A primetime special has already been announced, but reports say that the show will go internet-only if a regular time slot isn't available right away. All the pieces seem to be in place.
There's little question that if done right, ECW can help the WWE. People like Styles and Heyman have talents that weren't being utilized to their fullest by trying to shoehorn them into the standard company way of doing business; now they'll have a chance to do what they do best. The fan base has remained loyal despite the federation's initial demise, and there's a segment of the audience that will always prefer the Extreme product to what we get each week on Raw and Smackdown. But making this move at this time raises an interesting question: what took the WWE so long to realize ECW had value as its own brand?
ECW, as you may recall, went bankrupt way back in 2001. That was a chaotic time for the wrestling industry as a whole, with the WWF buying up the remains of both ECW and WCW, the
XFL fiasco mercifully coming to and end and the World Wildlife Fund winning its court battle to force the WWF into becoming the WWE. With all of those things happening in the span of a few short months -- plus no real chance to get a TV spot after the "failure" of ECW's show on TNN -- it's not hard to imagine why Vince McMahon and his team wouldn't have thought much of ECW's chances to stand on its own five years ago.
As more time passed and the industry settled, the WWE literally could have brought back ECW at any time. With ratings down from the late-'90s highs and a clearer picture of what wrestling's core audience really looked like, it would have been an obvious move to resurrect Heyman's creation. The continuing "E-C-W" chants in arenas all over North America and the success of ECW DVDs and the like should have made it obvious that the hunger for the product was there. Still, it appears that it took the popularity of last year's One Night
Stand pay-per-view (even though it fell short of the full ECW experience) to convince the Titan brass that they should pull the trigger.
One has to wonder if the relative success of TNA is playing a part in the timing. Even though the Jarretts' promotion is in no position at this point to pose a threat to the WWE, why allow the competition to take away any viewers with a product you can produce yourself? Before I get besieged by angry e-mails, I am in no way calling TNA the ECW of 2006. But the parallels are there. Small but fervent fan base, young performers with different styles than you'd see in a WWE ring, more emphasis on in-ring action than vignettes and long promos. All of those qualities could apply to TNA today just as easily as they could to ECW circa 1999. It's an alternative product any way you slice it, and the WWE is smart to offer it up themselves instead of leaving it out there for someone else to sell, even if it took them
this long to come to that conclusion.
Staying on the theme of "absence makes the heart grow fonder," last week's staredown between Triple H and Shawn Michaels and the sudden increase in the number of crotch chops offers up the best evidence yet that the rumored DX reunion may actually happen. TJ Madigan's most recent column for the Calgary Sun even presented the proof -- a Vengeance preview on the Viewers Choice Canada site (now pulled down) that actually said as much. You only need to go back a few years to the second coming of the nWo to see why a DX comeback is no slam dunk, but in this case it was a good idea to leave it alone until the right time presented itself.
The last incarnation of D-Generation X was tired when it ran its course. No longer the rebels they were when Helmsley and Michaels first formed an alliance, the group grew increasingly stale as they continued on. Triple H was breaking out as
a solo star, and the gimmick simply ran its course. The WWE was also in a phase where they were actively looking to avoid racier storylines and that was pretty much it for DX.
Fast forward to today and you can see how the climate has changed. WWE shows have been awash in retro themes for the over a year, and Vince McMahon's recent "God" bits seem to be blatant attempts to stir up controversy. Triple H has subtly shifted from straight bad-ass heel to more of a wisecracker, and the Heartbreak Kid seems to be feeling a bit more mischievous. You can add mine to the chorus of voices wondering how Michaels would be able to reconcile his faith with what a return to DX might bring, but rebellious doesn't necessarily equate to raunchy.
Like the resurrection of ECW, a new version of DX has potential to make money for the WWE -- in merchandising if nothing else -- but it must be done correctly. New faces, preferably ones who
can contribute on the mic as well as in the ring, have to be added to make sure it's not just Hunter and Shawn, because we've seen that before. Triple H has to commit to playing a face, or at least a "cool heel," and he hasn't done either in quite a while. And please, on a personal level, no Chyna.
Truly new ideas would always be preferable to the "everything old is new" factor we see so often in professional wrestling, but if rehashes and sequels are inevitable, at least we can hope for good ones. The WWE seems to have two promising ones in store. Let's just hope they've picked the right opening dates.
