"Flying is like good music. It elevates the spirit and it's an exhilarating freedom. I love the machines, I love the aviation community. I used to own airplanes and have pilots flying them for me, but I finally realized they were having more fun than I was. "
Why I Fly Privately
Among comments we received on this subject:
"The airlines have ZERO respect for time, customer service or flexibility. The government, through TSA, has…an entirely inappropriate approach to security. Collectively, they have decimated the American people's ability to travel effectively or efficiently."
"You would not invite strangers to your boardroom. Our private jet is our boardroom."
"Keeping the private jets flying keeps Wichita, Kan., in business."
"Gives me the ability to visit more than one client on the same business day."
"Avoids the TSA hassle!"
"Private aviation gives me the flexibility to work comfortably without opening the doors to the competition. As well, it keeps the time spent between locations less, giving me more time to concentrate on major decision making."
"Less hassle equals more trips."
"Strategic time management is afforded with private business aircraft that is not possible with commercial air services."
"Don't have to remove my shoes and empty my pockets."
"The number-one advantage to flying privately is productivity. What can be accomplished from the scheduling convenience to onboard efficiency takes most commercial opportunities out of the equation."
"Cost effective because you can fly to more destinations per day compared to if you take the airlines."
"Very convenient for business at out-of-the-way places not served by airlines!"
"It is the only way I could get to work in a reasonable amount of time."
"Flying privately brings the joy back to traveling. We get more done in less time with fewer people. We can see more clients, which in turn increases our business. It is a productivity multiplier."
"Safer than driving if done professionally!"
"Flying privately allows our senior management and employees to access smaller markets in a timely fashion that results in getting more accomplished in a shorter time."
"When traveling [on airlines] with coworkers and discussing business, one must be very careful because the person sitting next to you may be a competitor."
"Flying privately allows for traveling when I need to travel, not when the airlines want me to travel. The same reason I own a car instead of taking the bus."
"I have chronic scheduling difficulties–last-minute meetings, emergencies, etc. Flying privately allows me to travel at the time which suits me, avoiding crowds, potential air traffic delays, and [the possibility of missing the last flight out."
"It allows me to take a client with me, which enhances the relationship-building experience."
"Enjoying the absence of all the dehumanizing aspects of commercial travel. I mean, who wants to feel like cattle?"

We stayed at Surf Song about 8 years ago and fell in love with the unit, the pool, proximity to the beach, and we love Madeira Beach. This time, we discovered that we still loved it, for the same reasons. Even though the unit was different, it was still homey, comfortable, and spacious. We loved having the two bedrooms and spacious living area, and being able to walk directly onto the beach was fantastic. I would recommend that the kitchen include salt and pepper, cooking spray, and cleanser.

Condo #228 provided good value for our money. All amenities were provided. Decor a little dated , however this did not deter from a favorable experience. Would rent this unit again.-- Comments from Manager --This unit has been lovingly restored recently by the new owners. Go check out the new updates. And the improvements are ongoing.

Always enjoy a beach vacation. Property is not bad. We very much like the size of the pool and the amount of chairs provided. We were disappointed that a 10 day stay did not mean any fresh towels or cleaning of the apartment. Plenty of dishes were provided. Couch could be replaced. Glad to see there was a new stove this year.

Surf Song Resort is a wonderful place to stay! The rooms are clean, well kept, and have everything you would ever need to make your trip enjoyable. We have stayed in many of the rooms but we have been returning to room #228 the most, but all of the rooms are great! Room 228 has two nice sized bedrooms and 2 baths, nice living room/dining room combination and a well stocked kitchen. Surf Song Resort is a great place to bring your family. We enjoy the beach and the shopping as well as just lounging around the resort. We have stayed here many times and will continue to visit. Our children now come and bring their children. Our grandchildren just love the place and it is located right on the beach.

In the aftermath of the financial crisis, a number of legislative reform plans occupy the European Union's (EU) policy agenda. In line with G-20 recommendations, Europe's policymakers are due to approve amendments to the EU's Banking Directive (Basel II) to make credit institutions more resilient in the future. The EU is currently considering the introduction of capital charges for complex (re)securitizations, strict remuneration principles and capital requirements for the trading book, as well as plans to adopt measures on pro-cyclicality and leverage in 2010. EU policymakers will also consider establishing new European supervisory authorities for the banking, insurance and securities sectors. These entities would set EU-wide standards and be involved in the supervision of financial institutions operating on a cross-border basis. Discussions among member states and European Parliament members on this new supervisory structure are ongoing and expected to be lengthy.
The European Commission, the administrative arm of the EU responsible for proposing legislation, has issued a draft directive to create a European Banking Authority, empowered to set and enforce common supervisory standards for all credit and financial institutions. This authority would affect some credit union operations. The proposal has passed the Council of Ministers and is now being discussed in Parliament. The European Network of Credit Unions has weighed in with members of Parliament to ensure that standards and requirements of the European Banking Authority are proportional to the size and risk profile of institutions.
The EU also continues working on standards for mortgage provisions, responsible lending principles and financial inclusion. Another fundamental reform is planned for deposit insurance legislation to assure that credit unions will not experience service inequities when compared to commercial banks.

Following publication of a draft legislative reform order that made secondary changes to credit union legislation this past summer, the Financial Services Authority (FSA)—the United Kingdom's financial services regulator—published its consultation to realign regulation with the new administration on November 11. In addition, the consultation seeks views on proposals to strengthen prudential standards for capital, liquidity and provisioning for loan losses. FSA's recent consultation is the latest step in a three-year process to develop much needed reform. If all goes well, both legal and regulatory reforms will be in place by April 2010.

Irish credit unions and the Irish Credit Union League (ICUL) have been working with the Ireland's Department of Finance on several critical issues facing the country's credit union movement. At an October 2009 meeting held with Brian Lenihan, Ireland's minister of finance, the following issues were discussed:
The Northern Ireland Assembly's Committee for Enterprise, Trade and Investment (ETI) published a report recommending that credit union regulatory responsibility be transferred to the London-based Financial Services Authority, while credit union registration remain with the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Investment (DETI) in Northern Ireland.
A further review of the issue, conducted by Her Majesty's Treasury and published in July 2009, recommended that Northern Ireland's credit unions be brought within the scope of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000, while leaving the legislative and registration functions within the Northern Ireland Assembly and DETI.

Following the passage of a savings and credit cooperative (SACCO, or credit union) law in December 2008, a taskforce composed of representatives from the Ministry of Co-operative Development and Marketing, the Kenya Union of Savings and Credit Co-operatives Ltd. (KUSCCO), the Central Bank of Kenya, the Treasury, Co-operative Bank of Kenya and the Financial Sector Deepening (FSD) agency was appointed to set up the SACCO Societies Regulatory Authority (SASRA) and write its new regulations. WOCCU has been asked to assist with the process.
The new SACCO regulatory administration will begin in 2010. At the outset, regulations will focus on SACCOs taking withdrawable deposits from the public. Authorities expect that many of the approximately 200 SACCOs currently operating front-office savings activities will seek licenses under SASRA's SACCO Societies Act. Although final regulations have yet to be formalized, the regulations draw heavily on lessons learned both from Kenya's banking sector and international experience. KUSCCO has set up a compliance unit to help SACCOs meet new regulatory standards.
In October 2009, SASRA established a board consisting of seven members from the private sector, Central Bank of Kenya, Treasury and the Ministry of Co-operative Development and Marketing who were appointed by the Minister of Co-operative Development and Marketing. The board is in the process of recruiting personnel to start operations.

The last six months have seen a continuation of regulatory reforms for New Zealand's financial services sector and increased compliance obligations being placed on its credit unions. A government deposit guarantee scheme was introduced in 2008; monthly and ad hoc reporting requirements are now imposed on each credit union as part of the scheme.
In 2008, Parliament passed the Financial Advisers Act and the Financial Service Providers (Registration and Dispute) Act. As a result, regulations are currently being developed for those who provide financial advice, i.e., giving an opinion, recommendation or guidance on financial products or services. The regulations for financial advisers will cover competency, disclosures, ethical behaviors and client care. A central government agency will individually investigate financial institution directors and senior management to ensure they are not banned as directors and have no criminal convictions or police records. Further "fit and proper" requirements will be developed in 2010. Additionally, all organizations providing financial services must belong to a dispute resolution scheme. The rules and membership specifications for the creation of independent schemes are currently under development.
The Anti-Money Laundering and Countering Financing of Terrorism Act 2009 was introduced after several years' consultation with industry and international organizations. The Insurance (Prudential Supervision) Bill is currently before Parliament, which names the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) as the insurance industry's prudential supervisor. RBNZ has been the regulator for all deposit takers, including credit unions, since September 2008.
Credit unions are also eagerly awaiting legislation aimed specifically at mutual financial institutions and changes to the Friendly Societies and Credit Union Act 1982 that will enable them to issue non-withdrawable shares to boost capital and remove the current NZ$250,000 deposit limit.

On November 30, Lech Kaczyński, president of Poland, deferred a proposed credit union act to the country's Constitutional Court after questioning the bill's approval process, impact on credit union autonomy and the limited time it would have allowed credit unions for compliance. Poland's credit unions also had lobbied against the current bill, citing the need for significant changes. The proposed act limits credit unions' business powers, requires credit unions to pay income taxes and contains unrealistic standards in an attempt to increase credit union capital within nine months of enactment.

As finance ministers from the G-20 nations gathered for the summit in Pittsburgh, USA, this fall, WOCCU leadership expected the group to give greater consideration to credit unions' point of view.

Financial regulators and corporations worldwide are moving closer to accepting a uniform set of international accounting standards with which financial institutions in all countries must comply. However, not all countries, including the United States, have yet required their institutions to rise to the global regulatory challenge.

The store of the future is here, and it is in a small building in the Short North.
And the irony is that although it is a bricks-and-mortar store, the Columbus-based men's fashion brand started as an online business.
"We're trying to lay the map for other young brands," said Web Smith, co-founder and chief marketing officer of Mizzen + Main.
The 1,000-square-foot "flagship" store that recently opened has just enough room to display sample sizes of the young company's signature, tech-fabric dress shirts; seven pieces of original art; and a "curated" array of products from other brands that, like Mizzen + Main, are made in the United States and focus on a young, hip male clientele.
There's a rack of shoes; leather bags; a few pieces of furniture, including a cocktail table made from a whiskey barrel; and a conference table festooned with computer tablets.
The tablets serve multiple purposes — not only encouraging customers to research the products but also allowing the company to eliminate a traditional checkout aisle.
"The 'store of the future' — everybody's got that on their minds," said Lee Peterson, executive vice president of creative services at WD Partners, a Dublin-based consulting company that recently produced a study on what consumers want from bricks-and-mortar stores.
In the past, the route to success was far simpler for big-box stores such as Walmart and Home Depot: "Stack it high and let it fly," Peterson said.
But online retailers over the past decade have overturned that model. Most people associate online shopping with Amazon, and most people know that they can find essentially anything — books, clothing and music, for example — at a low price at sites such as Amazon.
Shoppers have changed, too. Although older shoppers might be accustomed to running out to the store, the digitally savvy young-adult crowd is quite happy to "couch shop" — sit in the living room and order something online via tablet, smartphone or laptop.
"The younger you get, the less you like stores, the more you like online shopping," Peterson said.
So, where does this leave stores that have stood pat in the face of such withering competition? If the answer was to get bigger, add stores or become a discount warehouse, then retailers such as Borders and Blockbuster still would be in business.
"The more stores act like a warehouse, the more they will get destroyed by Amazon," Peterson said.
And yet, online retailers such as Mizzen + Main still see an advantage in bricks-and-mortar stores, for a specific reason: "E-commerce limits the sensory experience," said Kevin Lavelle, Mizzen + Main co-founder and CEO. "Our retail location activates sight, smell and touch."
"We're trying to craft a classic American brand," Smith said. "There's only so much that copywriting can do. In a high-tech boutique, you can try on a jacket, try on a shirt, pick up a bag."
A significant physical feature of Mizzen + Main and other stores of the future is one that's little-noticed: There is little or no back-room space because there is little or no inventory in the store — it's shipped to wherever customers want. That can be to their home, to a friend's home or to the store for convenient pickup.
"We can handle the transaction and have it delivered within 48 hours," Lavelle said. "If they want it overnight, it's a small surcharge."
This feature — some call it omnichannel shopping, others call it "BOPIS" for buy online, pick up in store — is a favorite feature among consumers.
In light of that finding, WD Partners recently helped design a store for Finish Line that, like Mizzen + Main, "is sizes only," Peterson said. "There's no inventory in store — it's shipped to your house."
The so-called "showroom" store has brought immediate results to both Mizzen + Main and Finish Line.
Mizzen + Main opened its Short North shop right before Black Friday and sold as many shirts in three days as would previously have taken a month to sell online, Lavelle said.
Finish Line recently reported strong third-quarter sales and raised expectations for its full-year profit, attributing the great performance to its new approach.
"Kevin and I are both tech junkies," Smith said. "We built this very lean, very agile. ... What we hope to prove is that our model makes sense, and that it makes sense to be an American brand.
"It will become apparent to the great behemoth brands that it makes sense to do what we do."

Natural selection can move swiftly in response to man-made events.many ways. Frogs from beaver-created wetlands could survive in warmer water than ones from shady ponds. The shady ponds tended to dry up sooner than the sunny ones in Skelly's study, and that difference in timing had an effect on the development of the frogs. "The animals we collected from heavily-shaded ponds grew faster than frogs in sunny ponds that were literally a rock's throw away," says Skelly.
Some scientists believe that evolution will speed up as temperatures rise.that have been gradually losing weight over the past 50 years. But when the scientists analyzed the pedigree of 16,520 birds, they found no evidence that the population was slimming because smaller birds were having more chicks than bigger ones. Something in their environment is causing the birds to develop to smaller sizes, regardless of their genes. "There are a multitude of possibilities," he says, such as a dwindling food supply.

I am a follower of Thich Nhat Hanh in my meditation practice, still I was startled by this title "On Gratitude: All is A Miracle." Last year I survived a near-fatal heart attack - one in a hundred my cardiologist says - during which I spent some time in the border lands to the great beyond. When I came back, lying in the ICU all I could do was think and talk about how life is just miracles layered on miracles - from the level of quarks to the entire cosmos itself - and how wonderful it is to be a part of it. My biggest challenge now is not to get bogged down in my own special time-honored and well-worn habitual ways of being cranky. You can't go where I have been and see any sense in it at all to expend time, attention, and energy that way. Thanks for giving your audience a chance to hear the great wisdom of Brother Thay.

Topic: Options for a message forum
I'm thinking about adding a message forum for my existing site. After reading the API docs it seems that my main option is acts_as_tree.
To put things in perspective my site is modelled around war gaming, so I would like my forum to look like:
- game name
- official scenarios
- scenario name
- post 1
- post 2, etc.
- variant scenarios
In my mind the above is modelled as:
Battles = category
game name = topic
official scenarios = sub topic
scenario name = sub sub topic
My question(s) are:
1. Should I use something already pre-defined, eg Beast, Rforum
2. Should I grow my own code - based on acts_as_tree
2.1 are there there any viable alternatives/plugins to acts_as_tree
Thanks in advance,

Event-related communication has always been at the heart of social media, from Twitter's debut at SXSW in 2007 to the everyday sharing of check-ins, meals and parties in Foursquare and Facebook, to Oreo's big marketing win with a single tweet during the 2013 Superbowl.
As my colleague Daniel Honigman pointed out to me today, for brands trying to gain attention through social media, simply being event-driven does not ensure engagement. Daniel noted the social media efforts around the 2013 Oscars as an example of event-based communications that underperformed expectations because although they were clever, they were also contrived and (unlike Oreo's superbowl message) not naturally related to the actual unfolding of the event.
So relevance and timeliness are the required characteristics for successful social media engagement, both in the proactive publicity-seeking outreach mentioned above, and in the other common form of social media communication: crisis response. Continue reading

Norma,The Occident flour has a protein content of only 12.4% so that might help explain the slight stickiness in the dough at a hydration value of 65%. You might have to go to a higher protein flour to get rid of the stickiness or reduce the hydration of your recent dough formulation by a percent or two. As for the bottom crust, you may have to use considerably more corn oil in the pan to get the crust to "fry". If that doesn't do the trick, then you might consider getting the same type of pan that Jet's uses, along with a companion lid. Peter
Oh My God, That looks so good!!!!
To my memory, Jets "square pizza" has always been rectangular, for as long as I remember. We regularly get them for family parties/etc.. and as I said, I often get a small one on Sat night (although, ironically, last night I did not LOL). I don't remember them ever being an actual "square", even though - admittedly - we do call it "square pizza". so I tend to think that your 8" x 10" is probably correct for the small.At this point - is there anything I can do to help further the project. What "eyewitness" info do you need? I can walk in pretty much anytime, there are 3 locations within 3 miles of my house (one of those being 'the original party store location') and in fact next Sat I'm planning on getting one anyways.

A focal point in J.R. and Teresa Johnston's Houston, Texas, home is a photograph of the steps leading into Mississippi College's Lowrey Hall. It was on those very steps that J.R. and Teresa met as MC students more than six decades ago.
"Those are the steps where we met," J.R. says, pointing to the photograph. "And met, and met, and met."
J.R. was attending college on the G.I. Bill, back home in Mississippi after taking shrapnel in his leg during the Nor- mandy invasion. Teresa, a former Miss Hospitality, caught his eye as she made her way up the steps to the library.
Married for 65 years, the Johnstons' fondest memory is of their wedding ceremony, held on a Sunday after church and performed by J.R.'s father, a Baptist minister.
("It was the cheapest wedding you ever saw," J.R. says.
"No, dear, it was inexpensive," Teresa chides gently, patting his hand. "Our wedding was not cheap, it was inexpensive.")
Over the next six decades, J.R. and Teresa built a happy life together, with J.R. eventually retiring as CFO of Houston Light & Power and Teresa enjoying her own career as a bookkeeper at a Houston gas company ("The rival to his electric company," Teresa points out.)
As a result of frugal living and careful planning, the Johnstons have been able to give generously to Mississippi College. The couple purchased an annuity that provides them with an income for their lifetimes and will benefit their alma mater upon their passing.
"God has been so good to us, why not give back this way?" Teresa says. "MC means everything to us. It was a wonderful place to be and it's a great feeling to be able to do something like this for the university."
"We were both fortunate to get to go to college, and we thought about the fact that MC gives a lot of schol- arships to students that otherwise wouldn't be there," J.R. says. "As Christians, we have a certain obligation to God's work and this is one way we can figure we've helped God out – by giving back."

Bill, In many parts of the world people do not ovens. I think you might find this interesting: http://www.tarladalal.com/Indian-Pizza-(-No-Need-Of-Oven)-15977ralso if you do a google search for Indian pizza you will get anumber of hits that are very illuminating.Don
Has anyone ever done something like this?Today,I was cooking pancakes for my kids on my large electric skillet,and I began to wonder if I could make a type of pizza crust using it.I thought about mixing some BF with water and making a type of batter,and pour it onto the skillet.Maybe add tomatoes and cheese on top when the crust is done,and transfer to oven to put under the broiler to melt the top/cheese all the way.I would imagine it would be a flat type of pizza,maybe similar to a flat soft taco shell or etc.I'm not sure since I never made this,but if you have,let me know what worked for you.Im also wondering if the crust stays soft,then it can be rolled up with the toppings on the inside?I also imagine I would not need to use any yeast for this,but if I need to,let me know.Thanks for any ideas. -Bill

Best dental tape I've ever seen!
Posted by Reviewer1164411 on Jun 02, 2009
I prefer dental tape rather than dental floss because dental floss is too thin and tends to stack between my teeth. I am free from such problem with this dental tape. I also like the smell of this product. I feel comfortable whenever I use it.
Definitely worth buying!
Posted by Supplementsdiy on Nov 17, 2013
A dental floss with no chemical! It leaves a nice tea tree taste after you floss. At least I feel safer swallowing my own saliva as compared after using a dental floss with harmful chemical. The tea tree oil helps to kill the harmful bacteria that breed around the previously stuck food. Note that this dental floss is thicker. It is about 1.2 mm in width and 0.2 mm in thickness (Rough estimate). This thick floss does not shred easily and not sharp either. It is good for those with bigger tooth gap (like my back teeth). Because of its size and thickness, you can clean the gap easily and it does not cut into your gums. Sometimes tiny bone piece get stuck in my teeth gap, this floss is also useful in this aspect as it does not shred easily. Generally, I used this along with the thinner version dental floss that is from desert essence as well. Both have its uses, depending on situation. This floss is suitable for vegetarian as well. The price is very well. It is cheaper than most of the normal dental floss. It is much shorter than the thin version. (45.7m) Check out my page for more reviews!
Love the after-taste!

It works fine as a floss, and I really like the tea tree oil after-taste, it is refreshing. Click on my username for more reviews! If you thought that this review was helpful please feel free to press the 'yes' button.
Excellent floss!
Posted by Reviewer2674163 on Apr 22, 2015
This is my go-to for flossing. The floss (or tape or whatever) is thick enough that it doesn't cut into my gums, slice into my fingers, or break off in between my teeth, but no so thick that I have to use undue force to floss. The tea tree oil adds a fresh and unimposing flavor--just enough to make a hint of cleanliness, but not so much that it grabs your attention.
Posted by Kahaliah on Aug 07, 2015
(Sorry for my bad English !) Very inexpensive and efficient. Love the feeling after using dental tape and cleaning teeth. It's resistant and painless, plus you got a lot of tape.

Posted by Reviewer2950486 on Jun 19, 2009
This is the first time I have seen dental tape as thick as this and so I was a bit skeptical but now my teeth don't bleed anymore after I floss and it cleans twice as good as the average shop fluoride ones. I won't be going back to those anymore. I even use it on my 2 year old and it's not hot for his mouth either. Definitely buying this one again.
Dental Tape
Posted by Reviewer1600024 on Nov 05, 2009
Have used this for a couple of years at the suggestion of my dentist, and really like it, as opposed to the commercial brands. It cleans between teeth and the surface very well. I think the tea tree oil also helps keep my gums healthy.

It is very effective
It does the job nicely

This dental tape is flat and wide with tea tree oil. It is a very good floss.

text: CASE NUMBER: 230 CASE MNEMONIC: SHETLAND CASE NAME: Shetland Oil Spill A. IDENTIFICATION 1. The Issue This case deals with the damage done to the environment on and around the Shetland Islands, Scotland, which is part of the United Kingdom. It also deals with the threat to the fishing and tourism trade done by the islanders. The light crude oil that was spilled by the Liberian-registered, U.S. owned, oil tanker Braer could have had a devastating effect on the environment, and thus on the trade industry of these small islands. However, large-scale damage was avoided by the rough action of the ocean which helped to break up the spill (in fact, an oil slick never had a chance to develop). The legal portion of this case centers around the insurance of the Braer company and compensating the islanders who were affected by the spill: "Under U.K. law, which accords with the 1969 Civil Liability Convention (CLC), the liability limit for owners of the Braer could be $8 million for pollution damage, including cleanup costs...Further compensation for spill victims could also be available from the International Oil Pollution Compensation Fund, established in 1971, so that $82 million could be available in all" ("Braer Crude Oil Tanker Splits as Weather Hinders Containment," Oil & Gas Journal, 18 January 1993, p. 27.) 2. Description This case involves the oil spill off the Shetland Islands, which are a group of islands located off the northern shore of Scotland, United Kingdom. On 5 January 1993 the Liberian-registered, U.S. owned oil tanker Braer ran aground off the southern tip of the Shetlands when it could not restart its engines after they became flooded with seawater. The Braer was "owned and operated by Braer Corp., in turn owned by B&H Shipping, Stamford, Conn." ("Tanker Spills Norwegian Crude Oil Off Shetlands," Oil & Gas Journal, 11 January 1993, p. 26.). It was insured by Skuld Protection & Indemnity, Oslo, Norway. The oil spill threatened the populations of seabirds, salmon, sea-trout, gray seals, otters, and other species on and around the islands. A few days after the spill occured a fine mist with particles of oil drifted over the islands and actually left an oily residue on the island's sheep. However, it was determined "that the level of air pollution after the spill was extremely low despite the oily mist" (NOTE: "Shetland Oil Spill Did Little Harm," New Scientist, 26 June 1993, p. 8.). On 12 January the tanker proceeded to break up into three sections after it was continually thrown against the rocks of the island. The entire cargo of 85,000 tons (620,000 barrels) of Norwegian light crude headed for Canada spilled into the sea around the southern end of the main Shetland Island. "The $11 million shipment was destined for Ultramar Canada Inc.'s 125,000 b/d refinery at St. Romuald, Que." ("Tanker Spills Norwegian Crude Oil Off Shetlands," Oil & Gas Journal, 11 January 1993, p. 26.). None of the oil could be recovered from the tanker while it was aground because of the high winds (up to 100 mph) and the rough seas. The choppy water turned out to be a help rather than a hinderance because it prevented an oil slick from forming on the surface, and it broke up the spill quickly. According to one report "around 30 percent of the oil has been deposited in the sediments of two basins...[t]his oil will slowly break down..." ("Shetland Oil Spill Did Little Harm," New Scientist, 26 June 1993, p. 8.). The spill was aided by chemical dispersants dropped on it by British planes. "[T]hey (the dispersants) break the oil into globules that sink below the surface, and so help to save sea birds from the immediate danger of oiling" ("The Wreck of the Braer," Economist, 9 January 1993, p. 50.). At first, it looked as if this oil spill would be on par (in terms of damage) with the wreck of the Exxon Valdez in 1989. However, the accident turned out to be relatively harmless even though it was the twelfth largest spill in history ("A Disaster That Wasn't," Discover, January 1994, p. 69.). The damage to the wildlife was as follows: "The official death tolls -- the number of carasses recovered -- included 1,542 seabirds, several thousand pounds of commercially farmed salmon, 10 gray seals, and 4 otters. Two of the otters were run over by a camera crew covering the spill, however, and the other two probably died of old age" (Ibid.). Quite clearly the damage could have been much worse. A year after the incident occured there is no glaring sign that the oil spill even happened. Except for shellfish in a very limited area, all official restrictions on seafood originating from the Shetlands have been removed. "[F]inancial losses from pollution damage had been largely compensated by the International Oil Pollution Fund and the ship's insurers, and commercial activities were relatively back to normal" ("Lucky Braer Escape Leaves No Room for Complacency," Lloyds List, 4 January 1994). The question of indirect losses in tourism, transport, environment, fisheries, and aquaculture have yet to be settle completely. The media coverage of the event is said to have negatively affected tourism to the Shetlands and the marketing of products from there. A study of these indirect losses should be released soon, then another meeting with the insurers will be held to obtain futher compensation. 3.

Draft Author: Scott A. Kocher B. Legal Filters 5. Discourse and Status: AGRee and INPROPGress There is agreement "[u]nder U.K. law, which accords with the 1969 Civil Liability Convention (CLC), the liability limit for owners of the Braer could be $8 million for pollution damage, including cleanup costs" (Braer Crude Oil Tanker Splits as Weather Hinders Containment," Oil & Gas Journal, 18 January 1993, p. 27.). There is also agreement that victims of the resulting damage of a spill should be compensated from the International Oil Pollution Compensation Fund. However, there are more studies being done to determine further compensation; the results of these studies should be released soon. The reasoning behind the given value (2.6) is because the first payment of compensation to those effected by the spill has already gone out. However, there is another round of compensation payment under review. As for the ban on seafood from the islands, it has been lifted with the exception of shellfish. 6. Forum and Scope: UK and UNILateral 7. Decision Breadth: 1 8. Legal Standing: LAW C. Geographic Filters 9. Geography a. Geographic Domain: Europe b. Geographic Site: Northern Europe c. Geographic Impact: Shetland Islands, United Kingdom 10. Sub-National Factors: YES The decision to clean-up the spill and to compensate the victims may have come at a national level, but the results of these actions will be applied locally in the Shetlands. 12. Type of Habitat: COOL IV. TRADE CLUSTER 13. Type of Measure: Export Ban [EXBAN] There was a ban placed on seafood coming from the Shetland Islands after the oil spill occured. However, "[n]early all the restrictions imposed on seafood have been lifted, with only shellfish in a limited area still subject to official bans" ("Lucky Braer Escape Leaves No Room for Complacency, Lloyds List, 4 January 1994.) 14. Direct vs. Indirect Impacts: DIRect The ban on seafood was placed directly on the product for health safety reasons. 15. Relation of Trade Measures to Resource Impact a. Directly Related to Product: Yes b. Indirectly Related to Product: No c. Not Related to Product: No d. Related to Process: Yes Species Loss Sea [SPLS] 16. Trade Product Identification: SALMON and OIL 17. Economic Data It is estimated that the Shetland Islands will lose 18.2 million pounds in tourism by the year 2000 ("The Tainted Isles Come Clean," Scotsman, 5 January 1994, p. 8.). The loss is due to tourists being afraid that the oil spill has permanently damaged the environment of the islands, which is not the case. The Shetlands lost 1.3 million pounds in lost bookings in 1993 and another 1.3 million pounds if travel costs are included (NOTE: Ibid.). "To rectify the damage we still need 4 million pounds, and we need it now" (Ibid.). 18. Impact of Trade Restriction: HIGH Environmentalists believe that a combination of aging shipping fleets and single-lined hulls could lead to future disasters. They promote the use of double-hulls to help prevent spills. However, the oil industry counters this by saying that every ton of steel used to construct another hull on new ships is one less ton of oil which the ship will be able to transport. 19. Industry Sector: FOOD and OILGAS In the Shetland Islands case, the tourism sector is probably more important because almost all of the restrictions on fish have been lifted. People from the islands have noted that tourism was down last year; citing the oil spill as the main reason why. There are not many alternatives to the jobs people have on these small islands and tourism trade is absolutely vital to their economic well-being. 20. Exporter and Importer: UK and MANY V. ENVIRONMENT CLUSTER 21. Environment Problem Type: Pollution Sea[POLS] 22. Species Among the species which were affected: salmon, sea-trout, puffins, sand-eels, lugworms, ans shellfish. Name: Cod Type: Animal/Vertibrate/Fish/Bony Diversity: Sustainable yields of 11,200,000 metric tons per year (Northeast Atlantic) 22. Impact and Effect: LOW and PRODuct The damage to the environment and resources around the Shetland Islands was much lower than expected. The rough action of the seas helped to break up the light crude fairly rapidly. The worst impact that the spill has resulted in is the damaged done to the good name of the Shetlands. Many people on the islands are worried, and rightly so, about a drop in tourism. The islanders are being compensated financially, but the overall effect is hard to measure in monetary terms, and in human terms. 23. Urgency of Problem: LOW and 100s of years 24. Substitutes: LIKE products VI. Other Factors 25. Culture: YES Western culture could be a factor in this case because off the need for oil. If oil was not used by a country such as Canada to power its cars, heat its home, and as an energy source, this accident never would have occurred. The ship was taking oil to Canada to be refined. If alternative sources of energy could be used (e.g. nuclear, solar, etc.) then perhaps accidents of this nature can be avoided in the future. As for culture in relation to the product, fish are part of the diet of the people of the Shetland Islands and the countries to which the United Kingdom exports to. 26. Human Rights: NO 27.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (589 votes).
In short: What a lovely raceIn full: This is obviously a real labour of love for the organiser, and it pays off. The atmosphere is great- I've never seen such a friendly, cheerful bunch of runners Some real effort with the fancy dress too! And the course is pretty good too- if you like hills... but all that uphill effort is rewarded with a great downhill run to the finish.Date of review: January 1, 2009
In short: The only way to start the year!In full: If you are thinking about doing this run then go for it! You will hurt but it is definitely worth it. The organisation is perfect (a special thanks to all for such a great job). The scenery is fantastic - when you feel up to looking. And when you finish you get all sorts of goodies - most importantly a carrot which you can have with your New Years Day dinner!Then there are the great costumes! I was chased up and down a hill by an attractive nun today - how often does that happen? This is definitely a very special race and I will be back next year and may even consider some fancy dress myself.Date of review: January 1, 2009
In short: As good (and as mad) as ever... Dr Rob rules!In full: I love this race!It is good that we humans forget pain, or there would be a tiny crowd for the Knackercracker. As it happens, it has been great to return to the New Year insanity that is the Knackercracker, and lots of costumed people clearly agree. It was a good day for it, and the race was organised with Dr Rob's usual brilliance. Well done to the speedy winners, and to Masai Warrior and Bathing Woman for their winning costumes. Thanks to all the great marshalls - the cowbells were an excellent addition this year - and thanks to Mrs Dr Rob and family for the end of race soup and rolls.

In short: Fab atmosphere, hellish hills but so much fun!In full: Wonderful scenery! The hills were killer but the "it's down hill from here" signs put a smile on everyones face, lovely and friendly people, some downhills just as crazy as the ups! Incredibly well organised, the chopped up mars bars, haribo, cheese and pickle rolls and soup were very much appreciated, and the mug, medal and T-shirt are all a lovely reminder of it.

Busting Cat Myths
On average, cats visit the veterinarian less than half as often as dogs. Many cat owners hold the belief that cats don't require the same routine care as dogs or don't get sick as often-and this cat myth is just not true! The natural behavior of cats is to hide disease and this is why one or two routine yearly visits to the veterinarian are critical to maintain your cat's health.
While cats are healthier and tend to live longer when they live indoors, it is a common cat myth that indoor cats do not get sick. While outdoor cats are more susceptible to predators and trauma, both indoor and outdoor cats can be affected by infectious diseases. Insects carrying disease can come inside through open windows and doors; soil and other debris carrying disease may be tracked inside on an owner's shoes or from other pets that go outdoors. Additionally, indoor cats can develop metabolic diseases - meaning internally developed disease that has nothing to do with exposure to the outdoor environment.
Cats are very skilled at masking signs of illness and sometimes the only way a medical problem may be discovered is by your veterinarian during an examination. For example, a cat may have evidence of heart disease only detectable when your veterinarian is listening to your cat's heart. Cats are very sedentary or "lazy" around the house and signs of heart disease don't often become evident until the condition is very advanced.
We will also evaluate trends in your cat's weight and other laboratory values to identify early evidence of illness.
Medical problems are always most successfully treated when detected early, and one to two annual health examinations
are well worth your time and effort.

The Sleep Tracking Tech
I tried four different sleep trackers which can be split into two pairs: smartphone apps and dedicated sleep tracking gadgets.
The Cheap Method: Sleep Tracking Apps
I looked at two sleep tracking apps: Sleep Cycle for iOS ($0.99) and Sleep Bot Tracker for Android (Free). Both work by setting an alarm and placing your smartphone (or tablet, if you want to go there) under your pillow. The apps track your movement while you're asleep and use that information to figure out the phase of sleep you're in. When you're in a light phase and it's time to wake up, the apps will gradually fade in an alarm until you tell them to stop. In my use these apps seemed to be a little less accurate than the gadgets we'll talk about next, and they don't offer as much analysis either, but they do give you enough information about your nights that you should be able to figure out how to sleep better.
While the apps don't differ much, Sleep Bot Tracker offers slightly more analysis than Sleep Cycle (like sleep debt calculations) and a few added features (such as a homescreen widget and multiple alarms). Sleep Bot Tracker can also completely silence your phone while in use, which is a big help. (Trust me, it's not fun waking up to a vibrating pillow.) That said, they both get the job done for either no money or hardly any at all.
The Slightly Better Method: Sleep Tracking Gadgets
The Wakemate is the cheaper of the two because you're essentially paying for a wristband and nothing else. To use all the functionality it provides, you need an Android phone or tablet, Blackberry, iPhone, iPod touch or iPad. You wear it around your wrist at night, set an alarm on your phone (if you want to), and sync up the data in the morning. It's very easy to use and you only have to charge the battery (via USB) every few days. When you sync your data with your smartphone or tablet, the free Wakemate app uploads that data to their servers where you can log in and view a detailed analysis of your sleep.
The Zeo is more expensive (by $US130) because you get everything in the box. It comes with a very nice alarm clock that also charges the sleep tracking headband you wear at night. The clock saves your sleep data on an SD card automatically and you can use the included card reader to transfer the information to your computer for further processing. When you wake up in the morning and take the headband off, you can just place it on top of the clock and magnets will hold it on the charging platform.
Both devices offer alarms that attempt to wake you up when its sensors detect you're in a lighter phase of sleep, track your motion and activity during the night, and provide a detailed analysis of that data through their web site. The difference that mattered the most to me — and what I think will matter most for the majority of people — is that the Wakemate is worn on your wrist and not around your head. While the Zeo is more comfortable than you'd expect, you can only be so comfortable with a plastic device strapped to your head. The Wakemate sits around your wrist and I found very pleasant to wear at night. It was the first sleep tracker I tested and I continued to wear it while testing the others because, after a while, I felt like something was missing when it wasn't there. The Wakemate also transferred its data wirelessly to my phone, which is a device I already knew how to use. While the Zeo isn't complicated, it still has a slight learning curve. You also probably don't want to take a large clock with you when travelling. The Wakemate will fit in your pocket.
While both devices were perfectly serviceable, the Wakemate was more comfortable, a little easier to use, and a lot cheaper.
How to Actually Use Tech to Improve Your Sleep
These devices will give you a good overview of how you slept but they can only tell you so much about how to improve. You have to be proactive in using the data to figure out what's working for you and what isn't. I tried a lot of different things and was surprised by what I learned.
What actually impacted my sleep came down to three factors: environment, light, and time. I live in Los Angeles, where the air quality is famous for its unfriendliness to human health, and so it wasn't surprising to find that my sleep score went up quite a bit when I was in Minnesota. I even slept on a couch, in one of the hottest summers to date with no air conditioning, and that change bumped my sleep score up by about 30%. I also learned that I'm very sensitive to changes in light, and move less when I sleep if there is little to no light in the room. Finally, I found that when I slept had practically no impact on the quality of sleep. I've lived my entire life assuming that if I went to bed after 1:00 AM I'd be tired all day. As it turns out I can go to bed at 4:00 AM, wake up at noon, and I will sleep just as well.
How can you figure out what you need to do?
Tag Your Sleep
I discovered what I need to do by testing popular suspected causes of poor sleep and keeping track of how they impacted me, personally. It's very easy for you to do the same thing with any of the tools previously mentioned. Overall, the Wakemate makes this easier to do because you can add tags to each day before (and after) you go to bed. You can add a tag for your location, how stressed out you feel, whether you ate too much, too little, or just poorly, and so on. Once you've tagged all your data, you can sort it on the Wakemate site and see which tags are most commonly in the good nights and the bad nights. (In my case I learned that I need blackout shades and, probably, an air purifier.) If you're not using the Wakemate, you can still track your progress this way by keeping a simple tag log in a text file. It only takes a few seconds and is the best way to determine what's working and what isn't.
Figuring Out What Tests To Try
Find problems in your life and change them for a period of time so you can see if those improvements help you sleep better or not. Does your diet suck? Try cutting out sugar for a month or eating foods that aid in sleep. Do you work a sedentary job and don't have much time for physical activity? Work a few simple exercises into your daily routine. If you're having common sleep problems and want to try suggested solutions, tracking your sleep while you do is a very good way to figure out if those solutions are actually working for you. If you find that you're waking up during the night, remember to take a moment to figure out why. Is there light? Noise? Do you have to use the bathroom? Whatever the case may be, look for a common answer and then try to eliminate that problem. Your sleep tracking tool of choice will be able to tell you if that tactic is working or not.
The important thing is that you put in the (minimal) effort to track your efforts and try many different things — even things that may seem irrelevant, like altering the temperature in your bedroom. While I'm still continuing to collect more data to find the perfect environment and situation for my perfect night sleep, I've already learned a lot of useful information in the past five weeks. It takes patience and a bit of work, you can use these tools to help solve your sleep problems so long as you're willing to take the time.

May 2
Thanks so much for the outpouring of concern after the storm. It's nice to know that I was in so many of your thoughts. I really appreciate it ♥ I feel very blessed to be alive and to have suffered no damage despite being literally down the road from the tornado. Sadly, many others were not as fortunate. A large chunk of my home state is suffering right now. Please keep Alabama in your prayers and help if you can

Britain's Degale wins boxing middleweight gold
BEIJING (AP) James Degale of Britain has won the middleweight boxing gold medal, upsetting Cuba's Emilio Correa 16-14 in a sloppy bout filled with wrestling.
Both Degale and Correa recieved two-point penalties while spending much of the bout Saturday in each other's arms. Degale clinged to an early lead by landing just enough punches to stay ahead of Correa, who was hoping to emulate his father's gold-medal performance for Cuba in 1972.
Degale is a 22-year-old with no real international success, but he made a surprise run to the title fight while the top middleweight contenders were eliminated by others.

"Inside every old person is a young person wondering what happened. "
2010 Buyers' Guide
Recently released industry forecasts and surveys suggest that interest in business jet travel is on the rise again as fliers revert to their natural consumerist tendencies. Improving economic conditions have yet to translate into an increase in aircraft orders, but the cancellations and deferments that characterized much of 2009 appear to have abated. What's happening now can best be described as a kind of waiting game.
Business jet manufacturers will deliver about 700 airplanes this year, down from a peak of 1,313 in 2008 and 870 last year. The next couple of years will be painful for the business aviation industry as economic uncertainty in Europe and a slow recovery everywhere else weighs on the market. A glut of preowned aircraft inventory, meanwhile, is only making matters worse for manufacturers as potential buyers cull their options from an unprecedented pool of used jets available for sale.
When will the industry turn around? No matter how strongly convinced some insiders had been that the current down cycle was going to translate into a "soft landing" for business aviation after a period of super-heated growth, history once again provided the most accurate barometer of what was about to happen. Thankfully, the past can also give us a clearer understanding of how the transition to the next up cycle will unfold.
In all likelihood, the next two years will be characterized by soft demand for new business jets as the market burns off a preowned aircraft inventory of almost 2,800 airplanes. Flight activity will continue picking up as demand for charter, jet cards and fractional shares starts to stabilize. Then in 2013-assuming those predictions about the Mayan calendar and apocalypse are wrong-the industry will once again begin a sustained period of growth.
Five years from now, older, less efficient aircraft will be reaching retirement and a crop of exciting new models will entice buyers with more comfortable cabins and longer range. Suddenly, a term from the past will again come into vogue, as "pent-up demand" makes a triumphant return. Corporate tire kickers will place orders en masse, interest from buyers in the Middle East, South America and Asia will take off and the fractional providers will begin spooling up by adding airplanes.
Want to get ahead of that crush of demand and ensure that buying the airplane of your dreams doesn't turn into a hurry-up-and-wait-for-it-to-be-built affair? That's where our 2010 Buyers' Guide comes in. In this third annual edition of our award-winning guide you'll find information on more than 180 of the most popular business jets, turboprops and helicopters, including scores of out-of-production models and new models that aren't on the market yet.
Although you might not be in buying mode, you at least should be in the planning phase if you're going to hit the next up cycle prepared to make the proper decisions when the time is right. Our guide breaks down your travel choices with an article by R. Randall Padfield on page 6 that explains how you should be thinking about air charter, jet cards, fractional ownership and whole aircraft purchases in today's market. We follow this up with a step-by-step tutorial covering how and where to book a charter flight, buy a jet card or purchase a fractional share. We then give you a sneak peek of some of those hot new private jets coming to the market in the next few years. And we offer expert advice on
business jet financing in Jeff Wieand's article, which is a must read for anybody looking for a loan.
My personal favorite section of the guide is the
aircraft performance and specification charts, which provide details on each model's chief selling attributes, including price, size, range, speed and nearly two dozen additional characteristics.
I invite you to sit back and take some time reading this special issue. Study it. Jot down notes in the margins.
