Busan Neighborhoods • Oncheonjang
Oncheonjang Pictures
Oncheonjang is made of three words: "On" means "Hot", "cheon" means "spring" and "jang" is another word I am not sure of. I need to look it up. Oncheonjang is most famous for being the location of the largest hot spring in Asia, located just nearby the Nongshim hotel close to the station.
How to get to Oncheonjang Neighborhood
Get off at Oncheonjang subway station on line #1.

The only thing that would make this better is if it was scored with "Flight of the Bumblebee," as obviously clichéd as that is. We were most impressed with the speed with which these guys tore the little Subie down to bare frame; it's like the car just fell apart when they touched it. Amazing. [PistonHeads]

Nov. 18, 2007
Head Coach Michelle Bento-Jackson
On the game:
"I'm really proud of how many players came out and competed for 40 minutes. There were some defensive mistakes that need to be fixed, but it was a great team effort."
On the loss of momentum in the middle of the first half:
"We started off with a punch and lots of intensity. We defended well and really set the tone for the game. I believe, because of our defense, we put Boise State on their heels at the start. But the first half was up and down on both ends and I think we just started to lighten up a bit."
On the point surge in the second half:
"We had a lot of open shots and we hit a majority of them. We gained the momentum again on our offensive end and were able to exploit their defense a bit."
On Jen Gottschalk's game-high performance:
"Jen has been a consistent player for us from day one. She has an attitude of determination this year and I believe her teammates are feeding off that. To score 28 points in only 30 minutes out on the court is pretty special."
On Elizabeth Doran:
"At the beginning, Liz had some tremendous plays for us. She took chances and earned a couple of steals. We challenged her on that tonight and she definitely stepped up and produced."
On the significance of tonight's win:
"Our win tonight is only as good as we play in Alaska. We need to keep the momentum going and carry that through the tournament up there."

Chargers bury Steelers, ruin Roethlisberger's return
PITTSBURGH -- Something didn't feel right. And it had nothing to do with Ben Roethlisberger's throwing shoulder or dislocated rib.
On the day Roethlisberger returned from a three-game injury absence Sunday at Heinz Field, something bigger went missing -- like the Pittsburgh Steelers' sense of urgency.
"This was never a game,'' safety Ryan Clark said after the 34-24 loss to the San Diego Chargers. "We made it look good at the end before they took their foot off the pedal.
BOXSCORE:Chargers 34, Steelers 24
"We just didn't play hard. We didn't have a lot of energy behind us and it showed. We didn't execute, didn't play good football."
Roethlisberger blamed himself for an interception and fumble-turned-touchdown that offset his three-touchdown, 285-yard passing effort, much it accumulated after the game had been decided.
"It was frustrating," Roethlisberger said. "I feel okay. I have to make more plays and do more to help this team win."
Defensive end Brett Keisel tried warning his teammates beforehand that if they took the lowly 5-8 Chargers lightly, it would come back to bite them.
Sure enough, that's what happened in an ill-timed defeat when the Steelers could have gained ground because their AFC North-divisional rivals -- the Baltimore Ravens and Cincinnati Bengals -- lost.
"An unfortunate, poor performance by us, and by that I mean all of us," coach Mike Tomlin said. "We coached poorly today, we played poorly today.
"It's a shame given the opportunity that was in front of us. But it is what it is.
"Hopefully, we can make corrections and move forward because, regardless of what happens in other stadiums, if we play the way we played today, it does not matter."
It was if the 7-6 Steelers were buoyed by a false sense of security that with Roethlisberger back, they were primed to make a December run similar to 2005 when they won their last four regular season games before running the table as a sixth seed to win Super Bowl XL.
"I think we'll respond," Keisel said. "It's December ball. Good teams find a way to get these wins.
"When our backs are against the wall, it will be interesting to see which guys do the extra things this week."
The ugly loss was enough to make fans wonder, "Was this the same team that went into Baltimore and beat the Ravens with third-string quarterback Charlie Batch a week ago?"
They sure didn't look the same.
So the game ball ended up in the hands of embattled 5-8 Chargers coach Norv Turner instead of Roethlisberger's.
Inside the winner's locker room, veteran linebacker Takeo Spikes spoke of an emotional postgame tribute to Turner.
"I'm very proud of these guys," Spikes said. "A lot of people said we had nothing to play for. A lot of people crucified Norv. And he put his face on TV and said, 'Blame it all on me.'
"The reason we gave him the game ball is he's been through a lot. He deserves it. He isn't the one out there tackling or throwing the football. Finally, today we said, 'Enough is enough.' We played as a team."
Roethlisberger finished 22 of 42 with three touchdowns, an interception and a fumbled lateral Chargers cornerback Quentin Jammer fell on in the end zone. On that first-and-10 play from the Steelers 8-yard line, linebacker Jarret Johnson pushed tight end David Paulson backward and Roethlisberger's lateral pass intended for receiver Antonio Brown bounced into the end zone where Jammer recovered for San Diego's second touchdown in a 12-second span.
That made it 27-3, Chargers. Game over.
Though Roethlisberger threw a pair of touchdowns to receiver Mike Wallace, the receiver let what would have been a 50-yard, second-quarter catch slip through his fingers. He got booed for it.
Wallace said last week that at times when he doesn't get the ball thrown his way early, he loses focus.
Roethlisberger had his teammate's back.
"Nobody should ever get booed," Roethlisberger said. "We are out there busting our butt. Nobody intentionally does anything to hurt the team.
"I don't intentionally throw interceptions and guys don't intentionally miss blocks or fumble.
"I just told him that I was going to come back to him. And keep his head up and he made plays for us late."
Now they play the Dallas Cowboys on the road in Week 15 Sunday still in the mix for the AFC's sixth and final seed.
The urgency better be there with three regular-season games left -- including Cincinnati on Dec. 23 and Cleveland on Dec. 30 at home.
"I want to see how we're going to respond, how we're going to buckle up, take the criticism and accept the responsibility for what we did today," linebacker Larry Foote said. "Knowing these guys, we're going to respond.
"We've done it time and time again.
"I'm quite sure we'll have a better showing next week. We've got to get it done."

The UMUC Library Newsletter
Fall 2013 • Volume 13, Issue 3
Previous Issues
In this issue
From Stephen Miller
Associate Vice Provost, UMUC Library
On behalf of my colleagues at the UMUC Library, I extend warm wishes to all new and returning students, faculty, and staff for a productive fall semester!
As the new TUS e-resources initiative gets underway, the Library is here to offer full support to Academic Directors and faculty. Library liaisons are ready to meet with Academic Directors and faculty to help make for a smooth transition to all-electronic classroom materials. In addition, the Library has implemented a new practice for e-book chapters. Please continue reading the newsletter for more information.
Google Analytics will help us provide even better service to all our patrons. See below for more information on this exciting endeavor.
The Library is active in maintaining the University Archives, and has recently added the speeches of one of our former European Directors to the collection. More information is available below. And as always, we continue to represent UMUC in conferences.
UMUC librarians are available for research assistance through a variety of formats, including 24/7 e-mail and live chat, as well as instant messaging and via telephone during regularly-scheduled hours. Individual research consultations are available in-person, by phone, or via Web Conferencing. See Ask a Librarian for more information and to schedule an appointment.
Faculty: be sure to take full advantage of the Library's liaison program and course-related library instruction. Please familiarize yourselves with these services. We are here to help your students succeed!
Best of luck in the fall semester!
E-Reserves Update
Starting in fall 2013, with full implementation in spring 2014, Academic/Program Directors will be expected to coordinate electronic reserves readings to be placed in the classroom. Individual faculty can still supplement these readings with approval of his/her director. More detailed information regarding this change has been sent out through TUS/TGS.
UMUC Library is implementing a new practice that allows, subject to Academic/Program Director approval, up to 10% or one chapter of a book or other published work that has been or will be lawfully acquired or purchased by UMUC and that otherwise qualifies as fair use under 17 U.S.C. § 107 to be placed on E-Reserves. Requests that are above this limit or that do not comply with fair use will follow the normal procedures for copyright clearance. Beginning with the Fall 2013 semester, you will see additional language added to the request form for book chapters to certify compliance with fair use criteria.
In support of the e-Resources project, the UMUC Library created an E-Reserves Basic Guidelines document that was shared with Academic Directors to help them better understand what materials can be requested and some basic guidance on copyright pricing. You can also review the E-Reserves FAQ for additional information regarding E-Reserves.
The UMUC Library has purchased a new E-Reserves system, Ares from Atlas Systems, Inc., which allows for full integration with LEO. Implementation is in progress, with the expectation that the new system will be live in spring 2014. When fully implemented, Ares will allow directors to easily request items and mark them to be placed in all appropriate course sections. Items can be imported from previous courses, as well as entering new requests. The status of the items can also be tracked as they are processed by the library.

UMUC Library Employs Google Analytics
The UMUC Library recently began using Google Analytics to take a closer look at how our patrons are using Library web pages. Google Analytics provides real-time and cumulative, anonymized data about how visitors move through the Library's Web site, what links are clicked on, how much is spent on particular pages, what search terms are used, what devices are used to access the site, and other factors. It will help insure that user preferences and behavior are taken into account when changes are made to the design of Library pages.
The Library's Web Analytics Working Group is currently conducting a trial to measure and understand behavior on several high-traffic pages, with the goal of moving toward broader incorporation of analytics into Library design decision-making.
Mason G. Daly Speeches Added to UMUC Archives
The University Archives has received a collection of speeches by Mason "Bob" G. Daly given during his tenure as Director of the European Division of UMUC. Mr. Daly was head of the European Division for most of the 1960s, and his speeches reflect the momentous changes that transpired during this era. The range of this collection is diverse. His conference speeches evince a drive to fill the military with educated and responsible soldiers, while other, less formal, speeches portray an affable and approachable nature.
The highlight of the collection is his commencement speeches. With their call to continue pursuing education, to keep asking questions, and to be proud citizens of the world, the speeches continue to inspire even today, nearly 50 years after they were first given.
You can find the full collection in the UMUC Digital Repository.

Originally intended for the German military, Mercedes' G-Klasse has become the ultimate off-posuer for those of means. Today's Nice Price or Crack Pipe '85 may - strangely enough- be Mustang-powered, but is its price too much to pony up?
Yesterday's Alfa Romeo 2000 GTV offered 130 ponies, and that, along with its fap-worthy Bertone lines, resplendent in its seemingly impeccable presentation, made for one of the few Nice Price wins we've seen here recently, garnering an equally attractive 78% vote. Today's candidate is far less beautiful than that Alfa, and it's so big that the seller can't seem to capture the whole thing in a single shot. Despite that, it is unequivically weird.
Mercedes Benz lost out to VW in garnering a military contract back in the '70s, but their Geländewagen (German for ' I'm not fat, it's glandular') became a popular choice among foreign dictators fed up with the electrical problems of Land Rovers limiting their rebellion-quelling duties. Engineered and built by Austria's Styr-Daimler-Puch (not to be confused with MTV, The Real World's Snotty-Douchebag-Puck), the public consumption G-wagon debuted in '79.
Made available in two wheelbases along with a multitude of body styles (Popemobile, FTW!), the G-Klasse gained an enviable reputation for both its capable off-roadability, and its strict aversion to compound curves. It non the less was initially kept away from the U.S. market, as at the time, most of the people who bought off-road vehicles here were also those who considered Deliverance to be a comedy, not a lucrative target market. Eventually, seeing evolving tastes and the success of the Range Rover here, an enterprising company in New Mexico called Europa International began federalizing imported G-wagons for sale to to the obscenely rich. Europa did such a fine job that MBUSA even deemed it acceptable to service these grey market Gs. When Mercedes started bringing them over officially in 2002, Europa cut back on that biz, and today they mostly deal with parts and service as well as the occasional import assist.
As this G-500 is claimed to be an '85, despite rocking a model name not available then, more modern alloy rims, and spare tire cover. As such, it's quite possibly a Europa import. Back in the eighties - and outside the U.S., you could get a G-Klasse with any number of Benz engines under its muscular hood, everything from a 2-litre four all the way up to the legendary OM617 diesel five. This one has none of those choices. Instead, it has what is claimed to be a 1998 Ford Mustang 302, along with its Ford (guessing here) AOD automatic transmission. From the pictures, it's obviously a 5.0, but the 'Stang didn't carry that engine in '98, so this one's probably a lot earlier.
Why yes, WTF?! is the proper response here, thank you for inquiring.
The seller of this black box doesn't let on too much, and the photos are all alien autopsy blurry and vague, but if you were wondering whether the back seat is in good shape, at least he's provided three shots of that. He does say that the fuel injected 302 (225-bhp in the pony car) has suffered a blown head gasket and that it now overheats, and is hence offering the truck 'As-Is.' The question is, how bad is that as-is? How much damage has been done by the failure? The bigger question may be why did someone drop a Ford mill into an old G-Klasse? Sure, with three locking differentials and so much travel in the suspension that it could avail itself of the expert flyer line through TSA, it's going to be a rival of pretty much any Jeep or Land Rover in getting you through the shit. But still, wouldn't the more obvious choice have been any one of the multitude of Benz burners under the hoods of cars littering the junkyards and frequently-out-of-town neighbor's driveways?
Regardless, as the engine installation is claimed to have been professionally done, and either repairing or replacing the ubiquitous Ford pushrodder could be done in a weekend without breaking a sweat, who cares if it's effed up or not? The rest of the truck looks - at least as much as we can see - to look pretty good, although the tail lamp guards are a little wonky giving the back end a kind of Jake Lamotta appearance. Inside, at least in the back, is cream-colored leather and there's room for up to five Reichsmarschalls.
The trucks that Europa brought over, and even the official ones from Benz, all went for six figures when new. Even to this day, the body on frame Geländewagen continues to sell in enough number that Mercedes refuses to pull the plug despite having introduced its nominal successor, the unit-body GL. If you have the kind of scratch to buy one today, you'll probably demand the warranty coverage and dealer concierge service that accompanies such a heady expenditure. If, on the other hand, you'd like to live the preferred life, but are a little more DIY, and don't mind buying one with 'some assembly required' then this $11,000, as-is G-500 might be right up your gasse.
What do you think, is it worth $11,000 to Klasse up the joint? Or, does that price - and its broken pony power - make this one Geländewagen that needs gelding?
You decide!

Types of Vests
When we think of vests, we think of sleeveless tops that split down the middle section, presenting itself as a type of outerwear. Although this is right, there are many other types of clothing that fall into the category of vests. Let's look at some of these varieties available in the market today.
Formal vests
Ah yes, formal vests – the necessary outerwear that every man must have in his wardrobe. Formal vests remind us of mafia Hollywood movies where there will always be a character wearing a vest. Formal vests go well with any blazer or suit combination. Thanks to a classy look, a buttoned-up vest can work wonders on one's dapper appearance. Simply match the vest colour with the outer suit colour for a perfect fit. One can also wear formal vests without the cover of a blazer or suit. In many cases, we see waiters at hotels or fine dining restaurants donned in that attire.
Sports vests
When we think of sports vests, we think of cold weather sports such as skiing, hiking, or snowboarding. We also think of water sports such as jet skiing, water rafting and boating. Sports vests consist of protective gear that covers us from the torso up during our fast-paced activities. Some sports vests even come with hoodies to protect our heads from sun, rain and snow or ice. There are so many choices of sports vest, most of which differ based on method of suiting up. Some are buttoned-up types and some have zippers. Believe it or not, some sports bras fall into the category of sports vests too!
Safety vests
Although not worn by most people, safety vests play an important part in our society. Many a life has been saved by safety vests. Brightly coloured and easily distinguishable even in darkness, safety vests attract attention when in hazardous conditions. Suited for people working on the road and construction sites, safety vests are a priority.
Dog vests
Dog vests, as the name suggests, are not made for us. They're made for our 4-legged furry friends. If you've kept a canine as a pet, you'll know that dogs can sometimes be out of control. Put them in a dog vest attached to a leash, and you'll be able to keep track of its movements. Putting a vest on a dog is also said to calm the dog in the event of a thunderstorm or fireworks as the dog might be hysterical.
There are many more types of vests we can go on to mention. Thankfully, we don't have to look too far to find these bad boys. Simply look at iprice's range of vests available online in Hong Kong at special prices. you'll be able to find the vest for you today. Happy shopping!

The findings, published online in the journal Pediatrics, provide the first analysis of such events in a large population of children and adolescents receiving ADHD medications compared to non-users.
"These data provide reassurance that the thing most concerning — death — is not any higher in users of ADHD medications than non-users," says senior author Sean Hennessy, PharmD, PhD, an associate professor of Epidemiology at Penn. "For kids who will benefit from ADHD treatment, the potential risk of a cardiovascular event should not dissuade parents or caregivers from giving a child or adolescent these drugs."
An estimated 2.7 million or 4.8 percent of all children in the U.S. ages 4-17 took ADHD medications in 2007, the most recent year for which data are available. After previous studies found drugs to treat ADHD can lead to increased heart rate and blood pressure in children, Hennessy's group turned to a large database of patient records to see if patients who recently began taking ADHD medications appeared any more likely to suffer from sudden death, heart attack, or stroke.
For the study, researchers sifted through patient data contained in Medicaid databases from five states (CA, FL, PA, NY, OH) and the HealthCore Integrated Research Database, which contains historical and current medical and pharmacy claims data from more than 44 million enrollees in Blue Cross and Blue Shield plans in 14 states. Hennessy's group identified 241,417 patients ages 3-17 on ADHD medications and tracked their health records during the period they were on medication (a median of 135 days). The researchers then compared rates of sudden death, heart attack, and stroke in patients taking ADHD medications to those not taking medications who were of the same age, sex and from the same state over a median of 609 days.
The researchers found 28 deaths in the group exposed to ADHD medications (incidence 1.79 per 10,000 person-years) and 607 in the control group (incidence 3.00 per 10,000 person-years). Additionally, the researchers identified no cases of heart attack or stroke in the group who received ADHD medications and 11 cases in the unexposed group. Because the group of children and adolescents receiving ADHD medications had no validated reports of stroke and heart attack, researchers were unable to rule out relative increases in the rate of such events from use of the drugs.
"The fact that the rates of cardiovascular events that could be identified were very low is of interest because at least we can tell that we do not have an epidemic of such events in kids receiving ADHD drugs," Hennessy says. "If ADHD medications were causing an epidemic of cardiovascular events, we would expect to see it in this study."
"This is one of first answers but it won't be the last," Hennessy says, adding that since 2007, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) has been looking into the potential cardiovascular risks of ADHD medications on children. "Until the results of the FDA study become public, this study should provide reassurance to parent and caregivers that ADHD drugs are safe from cardiovascular perspective."
Other authors of the study included Hedi Schelleman, PhD, Warren B. Bilker, PhD, Brian L. Strom, MD, MPH, Stephen E. Kimmel, MD, MSCE, Craig Newcomb, MS, James P. Guevara, MD, MPH, all from Penn, and Gregory W. Daniel, RPh, PhD, MPH, and Mark J. Cziraky, PharmD, CLS, FAHA, all from HealthCore Inc.

President's day packed with events
President Obama took the oath of office again Monday, this time with more ceremony and celebration.
The president, officially sworn in Sunday for a second term, repeated the exercise in a public ceremony in which he called for "collective action" to confront the challenges of the domestic economy and global affairs.
"My fellow Americans, we are made for this moment, and we will seize it -- so long as we seize it together," Obama said in an inaugural address to hundreds of thousands gathered on the National Mall in Washington.
Less than 90 minutes after Obama finished his speech, backers sent out an e-mail under his name, thanking campaign supporters for making his re-election possible. Obama also urged people to join his new issues advocacy group, Organizing for Action.
"It's an honor to be your president," Obama said in an e-mail. "Now it's time to finish what we started -- let's get going."
The day also featured a church service in the morning, lunch with members of Congress after his speech, and an afternoon parade down Pennsylvania Avenue. Tonight features presidential dancing at a pair of Inaugural Balls.
The president and first lady Michelle Obama exited their limo during parts of the parade, walking down Pennsylvania Avenue to the cheers of supporters.
Obama deployed the theme of political cooperation earlier during the congressional luncheon, telling lawmakers he knows that they call came to Washington to create a better America for future generations.
"And I'm confident that we can act in this moment, in a way that makes a difference for our children, and our children's children," Obama said.
Obama also sought a tone of national unity, as did Republicans who are likely to oppose many of his second-term policies.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said Inauguration Day again proves that political parties "can disagree with civility and mutual respect," and he congratulated Obama on a second term.
"The president's second term represents a fresh start when it comes to dealing with the great challenges of our day, particularly, the transcendent challenge of unsustainable federal spending and debt," McConnell said
While walking through the Capitol building, the nation's first African-American presidentpaused to look at the bronze bust of Martin Luther King Jr., whose birthday was also celebrated Monday.
The Constitution says new presidential terms start at noon Jan. 20. Obama and predecessors have deferred public events when Jan. 20 falls on a Sunday, citing religious reasons as well as the fact that courts and government offices are closed Sunday.
Like those predecessors, Obama took the constitutionally required oath of office in a brief private ceremony Sunday at the White House.
The president, Mrs. Obama and their two daughters began Monday with an Inauguration Day tradition, an early morning church service at St. John's Episcopal Church. Vice President Biden and wife Jill also attended the service at the church across Lafayette Park from the White House.
Every president since Franklin D. Roosevelt has attended pre-inaugural services at St. John's.
After church, the Obamas and Bidens returned to the White House for coffee with congressional leaders before the ride up Pennsylvania Avenue to the U.S. Capitol.
Also during the morning, Obama tweeted out a clarion call to his supporters, saying: "I'm honored and grateful that we have a chance to finish what we started. Our work begins today. Let's go. -bo"
The late-morning inaugural ceremony took place on the west steps of the Capitol. Biden, who also was sworn in Sunday, took the oath of office again Monday.
In his 18-minute inaugural address, Obama challenged Americans to live up to the ideals of the Declaration to Independence -- and served notice to political opponents he plans to aggressively pursue a second term agenda that includes gun control, immigration, and climate change.
The president pledged to reduce the nation's $16 trillion-plus debt, but indicated he would block efforts to cut such programs as Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, saying "these things do not sap our initiative; they strengthen us."
Obama built his speech around the Declaration of Independence's proclamation that "we hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness."
In the 237 years since those lines, the nation's first African-American president said, brave pioneers have sought to extend that promise to women, gays and people of color.
Describing the nation's historic search for freedom as "a journey," Obama made a reference to gun control and last month's mass shooting of 20 students and six adults at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn.
"Our journey is not complete until all our children, from the streets of Detroit to the hills of Appalachia to the quiet lanes of Newtown, know that they are cared for, and cherished, and always safe from harm," Obama said.
In referencing other aspects of his agenda -- such as debt reduction, energy, education, immigration, and climate change -- Obama made a robust defense of activist government.
While Americans have "never relinquished our skepticism of central authority," the second-term president said they also know "that preserving our individual freedoms ultimately requires collective action."
Obama also claimed accomplishments in his first term, saying that "a decade of war is now ending" and "an economic recovery has begun."

Today is tax day for Americans, and like clockwork the establishment media are working overtime to cover up just how unfair and burdensome the U.S. tax code really is. The following Gallup headline is typical: "Just Half of Americans Complain Tax Bill Is Too High." Clicking through, we see that 52% of Americans believe the amount of federal income tax they pay is too high compared with 42% who say it is about right. Looking at past trends we see that as recently as April 2002 only 47% of Americans thought their tax burden was too high. It takes some gumption to ignore a five-point gain in the belief that taxes are too high and slap a "just half" headline on it.
But as outrageous as Gallup's spin is, the coverage of "What Are You Going To Do With Your Rebate?" is even worse. This is less the media's fault than it is blatant dishonesty by the federal government. According to data released by the IRS in 2007, the government asked American families to send in $22,100 over the course of the year — the total taxes paid by the average American household. Now we're supposed to have a national conversation about how to spend this paltry gift of a tax rebate. Somehow we're supposed to be gleeful that the government took less, rather than more.
Current rules used by the Congressional Budget Office when calculating revenue baselines also distort reality. Many budget rules, especially Pay-As-You-Go, come into play when a proposed change in law changes the expected level of tax receipts. To calculate expected changes, the CBO assumes that current law will be maintained for the next five or 10 years even when existing law is set to change existing tax policy. The recent debate over extending the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) patch exposed how flawed the system is. When Congress tried to preserve existing tax rates on millions of middle class families in 2007, the CBO scored the legislation as a tax cut that had to be offset under PAYGO. The problem will get even worse when the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts expire in 2010.
According to American Enterprise Institute scholar Glenn Hubbard and Hoover Institute senior fellow John Cogan, the expiration of those 2001 and 2003 tax cuts will cause the "largest increase in personal income taxes since World War II. … The increase would push total federal government revenues relative to GDP to 20%." Already Americans must work from January 1 until April 23 just to fund our nation's government. Americans already spend more on taxes than on housing, health care, food or transportation. If more Americans knew these truths, the percentage of Americans who thought they paid too much in taxes would be a lot higher than "just" 52%.

Do you long for straight hair?
Dear Ouidad: I have naturally curly type 3b hair. It is frizzy and kinky and very hard to maintain. I did thermal straightening four years ago and have been getting it done every 6 months. Since my hair is so curly, it looks funny when the new hair begins to grow. I do not want to use too many chemicals too often on my hair and have read that it is best to wait at least 6 months to get hair thermally straightened, so I generally pull my hair back in a pony.
Now my questions to you are:
- Is it harmful to get your hair thermally straightened so often?
- I live in Florida and the humidity doesn't help my frizzy hair. What other alternative would you suggest if I do not get my hair thermally straightened?
- Can you recommend any products/treatments that might help me in controlling my curls?
I have been very frustrated with my hair for a very long time. I'd really appreciate it if you can help me out and let me know the right way to handle my hair.
A: Thermally straightening your hair and other salon straightening techniques (such as a Japanese straightening or a kearatin treatment) can be extremely damaging to your hair in the long run. I recommend trying to embrace your natural curls and start by using a deep conditioning treatment every other week to bring your curls back after all of the chemical processing. Once your hair has grown out of the straightening damage you can style using products for curly hair . Keep the frizz down by using one of my favorite conditioning and styling combinations: Moisture Lock leave-in conditioner and Climate Control Heat & Humidity Gel. You'll never go back to straightening again once you learn to style your naturally beautiful curly hair!

January 30, 2006 • Posted By Shaun Lyon
Due out in April from I.B. Tauris Publishing is Inside the Tardis: A Cultural History of Doctor Who by James Chapman. The book is due to be published in both hardback and paperback and Outpost Gallifrey has this exclusive preview via the cover blurb from the publishers: "With the successful twenty-first-century revival of an old favourite for a new generation of viewers, this is the time to look afresh at one of the great classics of British television. Doctor Who enjoys the distinction of being the longest-running science fiction series in the world; the adventures of everyone's favourite Time Lord and his many companions, as they battle it out with Daleks, Cybermen and many more intergalactic menaces have become an indelible part of popular culture. In this new study of a television institution – the first to draw extensively on the full riches of the BBC Written Archives – James Chapman explores the history of Doctor Who from its origins to the present day. He shows how the series has evolved to meet changing contexts inside the BBC and in the wider culture, while all the time retaining its quirky, eccentric and distinctively British characteristics. And he demonstrates how the production history of the series has allowed it to renew and refresh its format in response to developments in the wider world of science fiction. Chapman writes from the perspective of a fan as well as a historian: this will be the essential text for all serious Doctor Who aficionados." (Thanks to Steve Tribe)

===Linda's Addition===
===Linda's Addition===
Revision as of 15:21, 16 January 2007
What is sufficient badwidth for a public library? How should we define 'broadband for the purposes of our study?
To kick off the discussion, here is a link to an interesting article by John Bertot and Chuck McClure:
John Carlo Bertot and Charles R. McClure (2006). Assessing Sufficiency and Quality of Bandwidth for Public Libraries, Information Technology and Libraries Available at: http://www.ii.fsu.edu/announcements/e-gov2006/assessing_bandwidth.pdf (pdf)
Here is some measure of broadband for households:
- ITU 1.5 Mbps to 2 Mbps
- OECD 256 Kbps
- FCC 200 Kbps (in one direction
Are these definitions adequate to support library services now? In the future?
Email Traffic
Nancy--Call for List
I'd like to come up with a list of possible uses of bandwidth that we could present to libraries to stimulate their thinking, particularly in the focus groups when we visit states. I'll try and put together your ideas with Linda's and anyone else who wishes to contribute.
Nancy--Beginning a List
John is right, we are looking at apples and oranges and need to separate them but all are important. I'm also going to add the two fellows I've been talking to to this list because I really respect opinions: Jerry McCarthy and Carson Block.
It seems to me that we are talking about at least 3 and maybe 4 issues, and, as I said in my original memo, many of them stimulated by John and Chuck's 2006 study. I tried to print it today and Kinkos wanted $.49 a page. Would you believe that??? I read it online but really want a print copy so I can study it. Does someone have a print copy they can bring to me??
At any rate, 4 issues or approaches:
What are the uses that a library might need bandwidth for? Internet access Regional or local ILS Databases Connectivity between branches What else? Disaster relief I'd really like to come up with a good list here. How do we determine how much bandwidth would be needed for the uses that are identified?
What are the arguments that libraries can use to get support for more bandwidth? Meet user needs Economic development Educational support Disaster relief E-government What else? Is it possible to determine how much bandwidth would be needed for each of these?
How do libraries connect to get larger bandwidth? Telecom companies? Cable companies? Electric companies? Throughy the local school district or city government (who might use one of the ways above? Other??
What methods can they use to get support? Leadership Advocacy Coalition building Government regulation or requirement for a certain level of connectivity? These are from the Bertot and the McCarthy papers
How do they pay for connectivity? e-rate city/county other government budget libraries own budget
Please add to these lists or switch items around.
Linda's Addition
Of your "uses" list below, I believe video--no matter what it is used for--helps folks understand we're talking about the connectivity needed for video-based meetings, education, etc. This has the potential of being a huge bandwidth eater and therefore I believe it deserves a separate "use" item to spark the thinking in this area.
Also, it might be useful to understand who the primary "organizer" is for any shared bandwidth they are using today. Is it the state, the university, the community college, the city, a consortium of libraries, etc. This takes you a step behind "state networks" but begins to get at who may be the players in any given state (which I maintain is critical to understanding the fundamental differences between states) and who may be critical in aggregating demand, coordinating procurement and contracting, and driving down costs to the end user.

Princess House, Inc. Recalls Marissa Tangerine Appetizer Plates Due to Cadmium and Lead Levels
The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services received information regarding a recall of Marissa Tangerine Appetizer Plates. When put into certain food service use, the plates may allow cadmium and lead in the decorative plate decal to escape at levels exceeding U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") and/or California Proposition 65 guidance levels.
The full recall can be found at www.fda.gov/Safety/Recalls/ucm399594.htm?source=govdelivery&utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery.

DailyDirt: Now You're Cooking With Gas... Or Something Better Maybe?
from the urls-we-dig-up deptThere are all kinds of kitchen gadgets that promise to save time while cooking meals. The microwave oven is probably the best example of technology making our meals significantly faster to prepare, but there are plenty of other cooking methods that are catching on in more and more kitchens (induction cooking, slow cookers, etc). Here are just a few more examples that might clutter your countertops.
- The next ubiquitous cooking gadget could be a thermal immersion circulator for "set it and forget it" sous vide cooking. Cooking food in plastic bags is not quite as convenient as microwaving stuff, but it's not that hard -- and your kitchen never smells like burnt popcorn after you use one of these. [url]
- You might remember: Ron Popeil presented his Ronco Showtime Rotisserie & BBQ in an infomercial that aired for the first time on August 8, 1998. Total sales for the Ronco Showtime Rotisserie exceed a billion dollars -- far surpassing similar cooking devices like the Roto-Broil 400 from the 1950s. [url]
- The Wonderbag is a twist on a slow cooker -- and it uses no electricity. Okay, you might need to use some electricity (or gas or something) in order to heat up the food, but once your food has been heated to boiling -- put it in this somewhat unwieldy beanbag and just wait for a few hours while your food slowly cooks. [url]
Filed Under: cooking, food, gadgets, kitchen, microwave, ron popeil, ronco, rotisserie, slow cooker, sous vide, thermal immersion circulator, wonderbag

Anthony, a 'Knick at heart,' stays in New York
NEW YORK (AP) — Carmelo Anthony wanted to be a Knick a few years ago, and nothing has changed now.
Anthony is staying in New York, announcing his decision Sunday in a posting titled "My City, My Heart" on his website.
"This organization has supported me and in return, I want to stay and build here with this city and my team," Anthony said.
He explained that he owed it to himself to explore all his options as a free agent, and thanked the teams he met with for their interest.
"Through it all, my heart never wavered," he wrote.
The Knicks can pay the All-Star forward nearly $130 million over five years, though Anthony said he would be open to taking less than the maximum salary if it would help build a winning team — and team president Phil Jackson said Sunday, speaking after New York's summer league practice in Las Vegas, that Anthony did exactly that.
"He did exactly what we kind of asked him to do — give us a break in the early part of his contract so that when we have some wiggle room next year, which will hopefully be big enough wiggle room, we can exploit it, provide a more competitive team for our group," Jackson said.
Jackson said he and team officials have known longer than indicated Anthony would sign, but did not want to say anything until they could crunch the numbers and get to a figure everybody agreed upon.
"There were some issues about how to structure all the financial part of it," Jackson said. "That's still something you can't jump the gun on, so we just held on to our information for a while. We're all set."
And now, the next step in rebuilding the Knicks can occur. Jackson is still cautioning that it will take time, but having Anthony is clearly a big piece of the puzzle.
Anthony decided four summers ago he wanted a trade from Denver to New York, and the Nuggets were finally able to accommodate him in February 2011. Anthony, who was born in Brooklyn, wrote in his posting that at that time he had dreamed of coming back of New York.
But the 30-year-old forward also wants to compete for championships, and the Knicks don't seem ready at the moment. They went 37-45 last season, the first time in Anthony's 11-year career he missed the postseason.
Jackson's arrival in March helped provide Anthony with the confidence to return, believing the organization can return to its glory days and contend for a title.
"We're glad Carmelo is seeing that we have the vision, trusted us with what we anticipate," said Jackson, who won 11 NBA titles as a coach — six with Chicago and five with the Los Angeles Lakers. "He implied and impressed upon us his desire to win and to be on a competitive team. And our message to him is we are going to be a competitive team.
"It may not be instantaneous, we may not be able to just drop in and win a championship," Jackson said. "But it's going to be something that we're goal-oriented and that's the direction we're going. And so we're really happy he came through and agreed to apply his talents with us."
Anthony met with Chicago, Houston, Dallas and the Lakers after terminating the final year of his contract and becoming a free agent July 1. A few of those teams seem much closer to contending than the Knicks, but none could offer anywhere near the salary under NBA rules, which allow players to sign five-year deals with their current teams but only for four years with another.
"I am looking forward to continue my career in Orange & Blue and to work with Phil Jackson, a champion who builds championship teams," Anthony wrote.
Jackson and the Knicks made it clear how much they wanted to keep the 2012-13 NBA scoring champion, telling him in a July 3 meeting in Los Angeles that they were willing to pay him the maximum allowable salary.
"There never was any tension in our conversations," Jackson said. "I think it really went very well for us. All the conversations were relaxed, they were comfortable. You had the feeling that he really wanted to listen to what was offered and he really wanted us to hear him and we did."
Anthony took another 10 days to announce his decision, though apparently the Knicks were his preference all along.
"I will always remember this chapter in my life," he wrote. "In the end, I am a New York Knick at heart."
