A new coalition formed from the Business Software Alliance and the Computer Systems Policy Project intends to recruit consumer and business groups to help launch a lobbying campaign that takes aim at copy-protection legislation supported by the entertainment industry. Hollywood had the advantage this past year with an intense lobbying effort and proposed laws from Sen. Ernest Hollings (D-S.C.) and Rep. Howard L. Berman (D-Los Angeles) calling for the installation of copying safeguards into consumer devices, but the tide may be turning. The Republican domination of the Senate will mean the replacement of Hollings with Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), who regularly criticizes the movie industry, as Commerce Committee Chairman, while the retirement of House Courts and Intellectual Property Subcommittee Chairman Howard Coble (R-N.C.) is another blow to Hollywood. The new coalition wants to make Congress understand that the legislation sponsored by Hollings and Berman is detrimental to scientific innovation, consumers, and the troubled tech industry. Consumer groups and tech companies are already protesting such bills, arguing that they would erode consumers' rights to make copies of digital works for personal use. Congressional members who have introduced legislation that favors the circumvention of copy protection for this reason include Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-San Jose) and Rep. Rick Boucher (D-Va.). Meanwhile, Motion Picture Association of America President Jack Valenti insists that the movie industry has been misrepresented as anti-consumer, and actually favors the online distribution of films.
The U.S. Defense Department wants the use of wireless LANs (WLANs) operating in the lower portion of the 5-GHz band to be restricted, on the grounds that they could potentially interfere with military radar systems' ability to identify terrorist vehicles and enemy missiles or stealth airplanes. The United States made its argument in a paper submitted at a Nov. 11 meeting of the International Telecommunications Union (ITU). Unlicensed use of Wi-Fi equipment in certain portions of the 5-GHz band is already permitted in the United States, Europe, and Japan. The U.S. paper supports a global allotment for WLANs in the 5.150-5.350 band, provided that radars are shielded by Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS), a security measure that deactivates WLAN transmissions when a radar signal is recognized. Intel's Bill Calder says the industry considers such limitations to be too inflexible. Over 50 original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) are producing devices that operate in the bands the Defense Department wants to control. Farpoint Group analyst Craig Mathias adds that the growth potential of WLANs will override national security concerns and impede the Defense Department's plan, barring "an extraordinary set of circumstances." The U.S. paper was submitted to the ITU as a preliminary draft in preparation for the World Radio Conference in June, where final spectrum decisions will be made.

As a result of Sept. 11, both the U.S. government and researchers are debating how to strike a balance between the long-held tradition of keeping science research open, and worries that terrorists could exploit such research for nefarious purposes. There currently are no federal guidelines dictating what types of research should be kept secret, but attempts to impose restrictions on academic initiatives have met with criticism and refusal: Some major universities have rejected government contracts because they came with the proviso that research required federal approval prior to publication; meanwhile, MIT turned down a $404,000 contract for its Artificial Intelligence Laboratory because the National Security Agency insisted that any foreigners involved in the project be screened in advance. This is an especially thorny issue, because approximately half of physical sciences and engineering graduate students come from overseas. President Bush approved legislation last summer barring students who hail from terrorist-friendly nations from participating in projects that involve certain germs and toxins. The National Academies recently asked the White House to continue to uphold a longstanding tradition of allowing universities to freely publish any research not deemed secret.
Vanu, the four-year old company founded by Vanu Bose, son of hi-fi inventor and MIT professor Amar Bose, develops software-defined radio for the purpose of enabling disparate devices--cell phones, handheld computers, laptops, etc.--to interoperate, and simplifying their upgrading via software downloads. The U.S. Defense Department, law enforcement, and fire and rescue agencies hope that software radio technology will allow them to more smoothly coordinate operations that otherwise would be hindered by incompatible and inflexible communications devices. Meanwhile, the FCC thinks that software radio could reduce interference by taking advantage of idle parts of the radio spectrum. Vanu's core technology is Spectrum Ware, an early software radio format that was the end result of a four-year DoD-funded project led by Bose. The company's commitment to designing systems that use reusable software chunks, common processors, and open-source products has made it unique. Devices with Vanu software could be upgraded more frequently and more easily than other software radio technologies, thus making software radio cheaper and more widespread. "They are the first people to really push software radio commercially," notes GNU Radio Project leader Eric Blossom. Experts say that the proliferation of software radio over the next 10 years is a foregone conclusion, although several challenges remain, including improving antennas, developing more power-efficient techniques, and making better chips that convert radio waves into digital data streams.

University of Colorado researchers report in the Jan. 2 issue of Nature that they have developed an extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) laser beam that generates wavelengths that are 10 to 100 times shorter than visible light waves, an innovation that can be applied to lithography and nanotechnology. The breakthrough was accomplished using a "waveguide," a hollow glass tube whose rippled interior induces the laser's light waves to match the speed of EUV beams. "It is as if the laser beam 'surfs' on the modulations and is slowed down--just as the speed bumps on the road slow a car down very simply and very effectively," explains university researcher Margaret Murnane. The EUV beams are produced when the gas-filled waveguide is bombarded by a femtosecond laser. The beam's peak power also tops that of any other light source at the wavelengths it generates. Furthermore, other EUV lasers designed to produce the same wavelengths can be as large as a room, but the apparatus the University of Colorado researchers use is small enough to fit on a table. The scientists' next planned breakthrough is to extend the range of the beam into the spectral region below 4 nanometers, which would enable them to construct a microscope that can view nanoscale structures or image living tissue on a desktop. The Colorado researchers' work is supported by the National Science Foundation.
Award-winning composer Eduardo Reck Miranda is working on computer programs that can learn to create their own music. Miranda, an expert in artificial intelligence and researcher for Sony Computer Science Laboratories, previously made programs that mimicked existing musical styles. While these song pieces sounded good, the artificial intelligence programs or neural networks that created them were not truly inventive. Miranda says he is instigating what he calls evolutionary musicology, based on artificial life models. First, Miranda sets up cells in a two-dimensional grid, where each cell can only communicate with nearby cells. Each cell holds to certain processes and uses composition tools, and when the entire set is working together repetitiously, a pattern soon emerges. This two-dimensional pattern is translated into audio signals by a synthesizer program Miranda created. Although Miranda has accompanied the sounds on piano before audiences, he admits they do not sound like much on their own. However, the cellular automata system saves its best songs to improve upon, and Miranda believes his theoretical work is important because it is evidence of computers actively composing music rather than reorganizing established knowledge. Eventually, Miranda hopes to enhance his music composing programs with cognitive and physical abilities.
Boston Globe columnist Scott Kirsner expects the major technology debate of 2003 to revolve around the use of predictive intelligence, which is being employed in the private sector for marketing purposes, but, more importantly, lies at the heart of the Total Information Awareness system being developed by the Defense Advanced Projects Research Agency (DARPA). The purpose of the Total Information Awareness system is to root out terrorists and prevent terrorist acts by focusing on suspicious online transactions, but organizations such as the Electronic Privacy Information Center and the Electronic Frontier Foundation argue that it is in fact little more than an unconstitutional public surveillance system that supercedes citizens' privacy rights. There are also objections over the choice of retired Navy Admiral and Iran-Contra scandal figure John Poindexter to lead the Total Information Awareness project. Meanwhile, companies that deal in predictive intelligence software and services see a beneficial side in the business world: The technology helps them collate profiles of customers in order to more effectively market products. Still, Genalytics founder Doug Newell acknowledges that projects such as Total Information Awareness should set limits on what kinds of data can be collected, how long that data should be retained, and what should be done with it. He adds that Poindexter's project is unworkable, because there have been so few U.S.-based terrorist incidents on which to build reliable terrorist profiles. If the system fails to achieve its primary goal, then it might be used by local law enforcement to single out people that commit minor crimes such as parking violations.
Many multinationals turn to India for their IT-enabled services and business processes so that they can take advantage of cheaper labor and low operations costs, and consulting firm McKinsey reports that Indian outsourcing companies could earn as much as $24 billion in revenues by 2008--if they can weather a shortage of experienced middle and senior-level management personnel. More than 200 Indian universities churn out over 1 million graduates each year, but there are far more entry-level employees than experienced managers. Furthermore, many third-party outsourcing firms are young companies in a young industry, which increases the difficulty of finding qualified management. It is less difficult to attract such personnel for captive business process outsourcing centers that are basically branches of Europe- or U.S.-based companies that can afford to train new managers. This leaves newer companies with the difficult task of hiring people away from such firms. However, National Association of Software and Service Companies President Kiran Karnik points out that this strategy alone will not encourage growth in India's IT sector. What is needed is more investments in employee training, he insists. Dr. Sridhar Mitta of e4e Labs observes that "the shortage of people is similar to the one faced by IT service companies a few years ago."
AT&T Labs researcher Dr. John Ioannidis will present a paper in February that details a system he has devised to combat spam by creating "single-purpose addresses" that senders can use to recipients they either have no continuing relationship with or who they do not trust. Such addresses would be short-lived and could be restricted to certain domains through the use of special software. With an on-screen menu, the user would first determine the duration of the address' existence, and then what domains it would work for. This data as well as the user's permanent email address would be incorporated into a code that would be translated into a 26-character string. The single-purpose address would consist of the string and the user's domain. Should his system become widely adopted, Dr. Ioannidis believes that mail spamming lists will be riddled with worthless email addresses and thus lose their usefulness to spammers, although such a process could take decades. Meanwhile, Coalition Against Unsolicited Commercial Email co-founder John Mozena still thinks that imposing anti-spam legislation will be far more effective. "[Dr. Ioannidis' technology is] adding insult to injury to also have us spend time, money and effort on tools to keep spam out of our mailboxes," he declares.

Carnegie Mellon University professor Hans Moravec has developed a 3D robotic vision system that includes stereoscopic digital cameras and a 3D grid composed of 32 million digital cells that a machine can use to reliably navigate through homes and offices. The system enables the robot to triangulate its distance from objects by noting how the object is placed in each camera image, and applying a geometric equation. The grid is used to resolve incomplete or confusing data--objects visible in one lens but unseen in the other, blank walls, etc.--which makes it well suited for operation in cluttered areas. Moravec, who has focused on robot vision and navigation since the 1970s, says that such a system will allow robots to automatically shift to different environmental settings. He wants to initially outfit industrial robots with the vision system so they will be more effective, and he notes that the technology eliminates the need to deploy navigational cues such as reflective tape and bar codes on walls and objects. HelpMate inventor Joe Engelberger says that vision is probably the single most important sense for a robot to have, but identification capability is also critical. Moravec expects that his system's 3D grid will also assist in object recognition. He has partnered with Botfactory to develop a prototype robot "head," once $5 million in investment capital has been secured; he says that FMC Technologies and Germany-based Karcher have expressed interest.
When exactly the Internet was born is a matter of debate, but many agree that Jan. 1, 1983, is a significant date because that was when its Advanced Research Projects Agency Network (ARPANET) precursor transitioned from Network Control Protocol (NCP) to Transmission Control Protocol and Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). TCP/IP came out of ARPANET administrators' realization that the network's exponential growth could only be sustained by a new protocol that could handle increasing complexity. "[The protocol] was designed to be future-proof and to run on any communication system," explains TCP/IP co-designer Vint Cerf. However, not everyone agreed on TCP/IP as the standard that should be adopted. "We had to jam it down their throats," Cerf recalls. Some historians place the Internet's birthday in 1961, when MIT's Dr. Leonard Kleinrock published a document on packet-switching technology. Still others believe 1969 is the key date, since that was when ARPANET was commissioned by the Defense Department to research a communication and command network that could remain operational during a nuclear war. And some mark the 1970s, a decade that saw the emergence of email and the shift of ARPANET from military tool to public resource, as significant.
Extreme Programming (XP), in which coders are paired up so that they can constantly scrutinize and improve each other's work, is seen by corporate IT managers as a way to make software development more efficient. "Extreme Programming Installed" co-author Ron Jeffries notes that the technique is best suited for mid-sized teams of programmers following a project that can be developed in stages and has room for experimentation. He explains that "Since one of the goals of XP is to bring down the cost of change, it doesn't work as well in huge-scale engineering projects, such as the space shuttle, where the specifications have to be nailed down." O'Reilly Network technical editor "chromatic" comments that some software developers are reluctant to adopt XP methods, which demonstrates how hard it is to actually impose any kind of revisions. The requirement that teams be co-located also presents problems to developing open source projects with the XP approach, according to Jeffries. Programmer and author Kent Beck, who has outlined a 12-step XP strategy, says that complying with each step in the process does not guarantee success. Still, he claims that XP is finding use in both small and large firms, with more adopters in the former category. Meanwhile, chromatic explains that IT managers should remember that the technique is supposed to achieve results in the long term rather than the short term.
The year 2003 will hold numerous challenges for corporate security managers, but also yield opportunities to boost computer security through technology and software advancements. Message Labs reports that the growth rate of junk email, or spam, will continue to outpace that of legitimate email. Companies that do not wish to lose productivity should invest in antispam software now, even though such programs can sometimes mistake genuine messages for garbage. Spammers have also begun to target instant messaging (IM), and the lack of IM spam-screening software may force many enterprises to transfer their IM users onto private messaging systems. Remote computing outside of corporate boundaries is becoming more common thanks to the growth of public broadband connections; this and computer virus epidemics is spurring companies to install security software on all desktops. Security products' transition from software to hardware comes with an array of benefits and drawbacks: Examples of the former include simple, cheap installation and deployment, while examples of the latter include less adaptable systems. Credit reports on thousands of American citizens are already accessible over the Web, so major occurrences of online identity theft are likely this year. Other trends just starting to take off include the integration of physical and online security, and increased deployment of software that tracks down intellectual property thieves.

A background in nanotechnology could be very helpful in securing future careers for engineers, and Ardesta recruiting director Marlo Pabst notes that nanotech and microtechnologies are based on similar engineering theory. However, she acknowledges that commercialization of nanotech products may take longer, given the technology's small scale. She suggests that engineers seeking a job along these lines should be familiar with design and processing, and capable of creative thinking. Companies that produce microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) include Advanced MicroMachines and Goodrich, which create tailor-made MEMS for original equipment manufacturers in the aerospace, transportation, telecommunications, and biomedical industries; Analog Devices, which makes single-chip MEMS accelerometers that Bill Eaton of NP Photonics says are incorporated into virtually all automotive air-bag systems; Motorola, which provides MEMS-based sensors with proficiency in high-volume manufacturing; MEMSIC, which produces MEMS integrated circuits; and Siemens, whose specialty is micromachined automotive products. Meanwhile, MEMS developer ISSYS is planning to double its workforce next year once production begins, and Oxonica will use patented assembly methods to manufacture nanoparticles thanks to $46 million in venture capital. Optical switches are another hot area, but Eaton warns that most optical switch start-ups have scaled down their business plans or been driven out of business. He also says, "The job market for nanotechnology is quite small and generally limited to start-up companies that aren't shipping products." The automotive industry holds much more promise for MEMS engineers, Eaton explains.
Notable developments in the technology sector this past year included id Quantique's debut of the first commercial quantum encryption device in June, while QinetiQ transmitted a quantum-bit signal over 23 kilometers in October, and Australian researchers unveiled a simple quantum information processing device one month later. The entertainment industry rolled out copy-protection technologies designed to curb piracy of digital music and movies, but this engendered controversy when tech companies complained that such safeguards could cause normal systems to malfunction. A law proposed in June that would allow copyright holders to hack into file-sharing networks and connected computers to prevent infringement also provoked heavy criticism. The nanotechnology sector burst with innovations in 2002: The creation of a "nano-thermometer" fashioned from a single carbon nanotube was disclosed in February, while in April researchers accidentally discovered that carbon nanotubes are combustible when exposed to a camera flash. In addition, IBM scientists demonstrated in June that a nanoscale version of a punch card could significantly raise the bar for computer storage. Japan took the supercomputing lead in April with the unveiling of the Earth Simulator, while in November IBM declared its intentions to build two supercomputers with even more processing power over the next three years. China became the No. 2 country with the most Internet penetration as 56.6 million people went online in April, but this news was tempered by reports of the Chinese government blocking access to certain Internet sites. Microsoft's announcement of the Palladium operating system in June invited criticism from those who claimed it could be used to restrict computer usage, while in May researchers at the State University of New York built the world's first radio-controlled automaton by implanting radio-controlled electrodes in the brains of rats.
Head-mounted display (HMD) technologies are an example of "mixed reality" systems that promise to seamlessly integrate computer-generated data and imagery with the real world, and Japan is leading the charge in this area: Japanese hospitals have made the technology an essential tool in surgical procedures, while other uses for HMDs are being found in the automotive design, entertainment, and disaster preparation sectors. Toppan Printing, in conjunction with Takashi Kawai of Waseda University, is working on a mixed reality system that combines HMDs with the Global Positioning System to offer 3D graphical overlays that show visitors to museums and archeological digs what ruins must have looked like in ancient times. Meanwhile, Canon has partnered with SGI Japan to develop a mixed reality product for automotive manufacturers and parts suppliers that allows potential customers to see detailed, 3D images of cars as well as experience simulated travel. Communications Research Laboratory has built a facility designed to simulate natural disasters--earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, etc.--so that local and national government officials can better prepare for such catastrophes and implement measures that will significantly reduce the loss of life and property. Experts such as Shunichi Kita of the Nomura Research Institute forecast that over the next 10 years the HMD market will surge in much the same way the cell phone market did. Mainstream adoption of HMDs and mixed reality systems will depend on researchers developing lighter, more comfortable products. Optical companies are supplying hardware for such efforts. Minolta, for example, has developed a 25-gram holographic HMD that can be attached to the frame of the user's glasses.
The Sept. 11 attacks and the Nimda virus outbreak have helped raise the profile of cybersecurity and the need to defend cyberspace from increasingly sophisticated hackers, virus writers, and cyberterrorists who go after specific targets such as critical Internet infrastructure. Among the countermeasures being instituted and developed are collaborations between the public and private sectors, in which companies share information about computer break-ins and vulnerabilities with law enforcement and the federal government; the National Strategy to Secure Cyberspace, which lists recommendations that home users, small businesses, and worldwide enterprises should voluntarily follow to ensure cybersecurity; and increased government focus on cybercrime, which FBI agent Scott Larson says owes much to public-private liaisons. Companies are refocusing on security basics as a result of the economic slowdown and budgetary cutbacks, and giving more attention to preparing for cybersecurity incidents, adopting best practices, and improving executive buy-in. Trend Micro's David Perry reports that system administrators are becoming more aware of the need to keep track of and install security patches, and Green Mountain Coffee CIO Jim Prevo notes increased use of firewall upgrading and scanning for email-borne viruses. Government privacy regulations that implement the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act are also spurring the adoption of best practices, while Howard Schmidt of the President's Critical Infrastructure Protection Board observes that business executives have started to realize that cybersecurity and physical security are a vital component of core business processes. He says, "The big challenges of the next year are to continue to keep the enthusiasm up, and focus on cybersecurity issues as a whole as we start moving forward with the new [homeland security] department." The integration of physical security and IT makes security an important part of corporate culture, says Dr. Phyllis Schneck of the FBI's InfraGard program.
Futurist and author Stan Davis writes that the information economy passed its midpoint with the launch of the Internet, and will segue to a biotech economy in the late 2020s. He recommends that CIOs should prepare for this transition by concentrating on projected changes in the role of IT, as well as management style and organization. Biotech follows a bottom-up model, so it is likely that companies will undergo a similar change and implement sense/response strategies underlined by a constantly volatile environment. Vertical business processes will give way to horizontal processes, while networked, distributed, interdependent, or alliance-reliant templates will serve as corporate foundations, as opposed to the linear, hierarchical, integrated, or independent models most businesses are currently based on. IT will determine how these forms will manifest themselves and which will be the most prevalent. Meanwhile, digital data will be transformed into a utility within a decade, and the value of intangible products and services such as software will rise. Economic development has started to follow a child-centric model, which takes into account the fact that later generations are more adept with new technologies than previous generations. Managers will have to make sound and video--fundamental tools of the Internet generation--a key part of their management style. Davis has outlined a three-month strategy CIOs can follow in order to prepare for the next economic shift: In the first month, they should meet with experts to discuss future trends; in the second, managers should encourage staff to thoroughly research rivals, customers, and industry so they understand where future threats and challenges might come from; and in the third month, CIOs should focus on long-term plans to connect customers and how technology can empower both the customer and the enterprise.
Advanced robots that can function in areas or situations too dangerous for humans are finding use in the military, law enforcement, and even the space program. Battlefield robots under development or in use include iRobot's Bloodhound, a machine that can autonomously navigate its way to wounded soldiers and administer medical treatment; and Packbot, another iRobot product that was used in Afghanistan to search caves for al Qaeda or Taliban fighters. Current research focuses on equipping Packbots with sensors to detect biological agents, a function already built into the Mini-ANDROS II police robot, which is used in SWAT operations, surveillance, and bomb disposal, and can circumvent obstacles using an articulated track system. The Micromechanical Flying Insect, currently under development at the University of California at Berkeley, is modeled after winged insects to be a small, airborne machine that could theoretically spy on enemy troops with impunity, among other things. The Sept. 11 bombing provided an opportunity to demonstrate search-and-rescue robots, which were employed to sift through the wreckage of the World Trade Center for trapped people; the Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) is working on a device that can root through collapsed buildings and mines, or sense dangerous acids or chemicals. PARC researcher Dr. Craig Eldershaw is working on PolyBots, robots that consist of modules that work as a team and can reconfigure themselves to suit the environment. Robots in use at NASA include remotely operated vehicles such as the Mars Sojourner, while Robonaut, a joint project between the Johnson Space Center and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), is a partially-humanoid machine designed to assist astronauts in maintenance and construction projects. A major challenge to improving robot technologies involves investing the machines with a sense of autonomy, and Carnegie Mellon University's Howie Choset notes that "The challenges in making autonomous robots are in developing algorithms that are guaranteed or proven to work, developing complete algorithms that are robust, interpreting sensor information--perception and positioning a robot."

Health care providers, patients and families face a number of unique challenges in New York State. Case law regarding surrogate decision making and life-sustaining treatement is particularly problematic. Court of Appeals rulings have required "clear and convincing" evidence that an incapcitated patient had specifically refused the treatment in question. The Court indicated that advance directives, including a Living Will can satisfy this requirement, if it is sufficiently specific.
The New York State Task Force on Life and the Law proposed legislative solutions to deal with this and other related dilemmas. The first proposal enacted into law was the Do Not Resuscitate Law. The next proposal to be passed was the Health Care Proxy Law. The remaining proposal to meet the needs of New York in this area wass the Family Health Care Decisions Bill. This bill was intended to fill in the gaps left by the DNR and Proxy Laws, since it would permit surrogate decisions to be made for incapacitated patients who have not executed a proxy. Partial resolution occured in 2003 when the Health Care Decisions Act for Persons with Mental Retardation (HCDA)(HCDA) went into effect. This law permitted broader decision-making authority by guardians of mentally retarded persons under Article 17-A of the Surrogate's Court Procedure Act. It was later amended to permit qualified friends and family members to act as "guardian," even when no legal (SCPA 17-A) guardian was appointed.
Finally, after 15 years, the Family Health Care Decisions Act was passed and went into effect in 2010. This law now permits surrogate decisionmaking for incapacitated patients who have not appointed a health care agent via a proxy. The rules regarding mentally retarded patients continue to be governed by the HCDA, and the overlapping laws are sometimes confusing. The best resource for sorting this out isw the NYS Bar Association's FHCDA Information Center.

Florence, Italy
Event Details
Description: This is the perfect workshop to take with a friend! Come for a fun, relaxing hands-on workshop, where Brandi of Sunshine & Succulents will teach you to design with and care for succulents. We'll discuss what succulents are, how to take care of them (it's easy!), and how to propagate them. Then, after a quick demonstration, you'll get to pick out your succulents and make your very own glass orb terrarium. Brandi will be there to give you design advice and hands-on help along the way. You'll practically be a terrarium guru by the time you leave! Light food and beverages will be served.
A $15 materials fee will be due at the time of the class which includes all of the supplies in Brandi's DIY Succulent Terrarium Kit.
Instructor: Sunshine & Succulents was founded in November 2012 by Brandi Chalker. Brandi's love of succulents stems from her long-time residence in San Francisco's Outer Sunset neighborhood, which is full of wonderous succulents both large and small that thrive with minimal care and survive the harsh ocean winds, sandy soil, and fog.
Her obsession began about 4 years ago when she started growing succulents from cuttings. She then opened a gift shop in 2010 and began selling her terrariums and dish gardens there, as well as teaching terrarium-making workshops. Brandi's terrariums have been featured on TV on ABC7, and she has taught workshops for companies like AirBnB and at world-class institutions like the San Francisco Conservatory of Flowers.

: My flax seed gel stinks...
Does anyone else think their own flax seed gel smells pretty funky?
I don't think my flax seeds are bad because they've been in the fridge, but my gel smells...crappy! I mask the "smell" of it by using another gel on top because I'm paranoid of other people smelling this aroma but I really don't need another gel on top
Is there anything around the house that I could add to it to make it smell pleasant? I did buy some preservative from a fellow curly but I still keep the gel in the fridge.

Registration Instructions for the Fall Season
Hillsborough AYSO is open to everyone, all schools, all towns. We have limited field space so register early because it's likely some divisions will be oversubscribed. If this happens, children of volunteer coaches and referees will be given priority when teams are formed. The Fall AYSO season is open to anyone at least 4 years of age on August 1st of this year and no more than 18 year of age on August 1st of this year.
For 2016 the age cutoff is August 1st, the same as it has been in previously. There will be a change to the age cutoff policy, but not until 2017.
Follow these steps to register your players:Go to www.eayso.org and follow the instructions to register your player. (We recommend Internet Explorer. There have been reports of problems with Chrome and Safari.) Hillsborough is "Region 110". If you have registered in prior years, be sure to update your email address, health insurance, medical and emergency contact information.
If you are registering for the first time, you will need the following information:

These requests will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Please Email this request and include justification along with the child's height, weight, relative speed and aggressiveness compared to his or her peers. Play-Up / Play-Down requests will be considered only if space is available in the requested age division.
AYSO has been promoting the recommendations provided by the U.S. Center for Disease Control's Heads Up program for concussion awareness and safety. Parents are encouraged to learn the signs and symptoms of concussion and the associated risks. For more information, you can read AYSO's Parent/Athlete Concussion Information Sheet.
Injured Players
If a player is injured and unable to play, the coach may request that a replacement player be assigned to the team from the division waitlist (if any). If a replacement player is assigned to the team, the injured player will be moved to an injured player pool. If the injured player wishes to return to the division, he or she will be assigned to a team based on space availability and team balance considerations. There is no guarantee that the injured player will be assigned to his or her original team.
Problems Registering?
Online registration requires use of Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox (use of Safari creates printing problems). If you receive an error message when trying to request your password or if you no longer have access to the email you used to create your login, please send an email to email@example.com to have your password reset. If you have a new email address (different from the one you previously registered with on eAYSO), please be sure and list the email address that needs to be reset.

A: You can create your account at www.eayso.org. If aren't sure if you have an account, the system offers a lookup to see if it has a record of you. Please do not create a new account if you can't remember your user name or password. That will result in confusion with your child's records and delay registration. If unable to access an account you created in prior years, please contact email@example.com.
A: Your costs are limited to our registration fees. Incidental costs during the season may include your portion of a team banner, providing snack for one game and coach and referee appreciation gifts for the time they have put in volunteering for the team.
A: Yes. Please contact the Registrar at email@example.com and make your request. Verification of need will be asked for.
A: Yes!

A: No, we do not know the practice fields selected by the coaches until after all the teams have been assigned.
A: No, you cannot request a particular coach. However, each coach can request one assistant coach and therefore the children of the coach and assistant will naturally be together on the same team.
A: No, requests for placements on teams will not be granted. Exceptions will be made for siblings, coaches and assistant coaches.
A: Yes, they can be assigned to the same team by specifying the name of the player's sibling during online registration in the "siblings playing on the same team" field. While we will try and honor requests for siblings to play together, factors may exist that prevent this, in which case we may only be able to offer spaces on different teams.
A: Yes. When you register, indicate you want to be a Head Coach. Your assistant needs to register as an Assistant Coach. This summer, you will be contacted by your division coordinator who will ask you if you have a specific assistant. As a head coach, you are allowed to pick the assistant coach – the assistant cannot pick the head coach. If team balance is impacted negatively by two particular coaches pairing up, they will be asked to spit up.

Disciplinary Matters
Players are expected to demonstrate good behavior and respect for other players, coaches and referees at all times. This includes practices. Disruptive or disrespectful behavior may result in exclusion from future practices and/or games with the approval of the Regional Commissioner. At games, a player who is ejected from the game must leave the field of play. The team may not substitute for that player for the remainder of the game. If there is no parent present at the game to accompany the ejected team member, he/she will remain silent on the sideline under the care of the team's coaches and may not participate in the hand shake at the end of the game. A player that is ejected before, during or after a game, will be ineligible to participate in the team's next scheduled game and any team practices prior to that next scheduled game. Depending on the severity of the action that resulted in the ejection, the Commissioner at his/her discretion may review the circumstances and issue greater sanctions against the offending player. Any player receiving two ejections during the season shall have the infractions reviewed by the Regional Board and may be denied further participation. A player's continued involvement in the program is also subject to review for receiving frequent or repeated warnings by referees, which did not result in an ejection from a game but which were of such nature to warrant reporting in the match report, at the discretion of the Regional Commissioner.
A coach who is ejected by the referee must leave the field of play and the immediate area (i.e. must not be within visibility or sound of the players or referees) for the remainder of the current game and, at a minimum, will be suspended for the next scheduled game and all practices prior to that next scheduled game. Depending on the severity of the action that resulted in the ejection, the Commissioner may review the circumstances and issue greater sanctions against the offending coach. Player Registration Forms must be in the possession of the remaining registered coach. If the coach refuses to leave, or there is no remaining coach or assistant coach to supervise the players, the referee will abandon the match. In an instance where the game is abandoned, the Commissioner will decide the outcome of the game. Any coach ejected from more than one game during the season will be immediately suspended for the balance of the season and his/her actions will be reviewed by the Regional Board to determine any additional sanctions.
A coach that is criticized in a referee match report for a clear failure to observe either positive coaching or good sportsmanship will receive a verbal warning from the Commissioner and be asked to correct their actions. A reported repetition of their behavior, described in a referee report at a subsequent game, will result in a minimum suspension of one game and, based upon the severity of the actions, the Regional Board, may decide to impose additional sanctions.
A spectator or other guest who is asked to leave the field area by the referee must do so immediately (i.e. must not be within visibility or sound of the players or referees for the remainder of the game). If a spectator or guest refuses to leave the field, the referee may abandon the match, in which case, the Commissioner will be responsible for determining the outcome of the match.

Aug 27 (Reuters) - Uncertainty surrounding possible U.S. military action against Bashar al-Assad's Syrian government helped push Canadian stock index futures lower on Tuesday.
* Bank of Montreal's third-quarter profit rose 17 percent, as the Canadian 4 bank benefited from higher insurance income and lower provisions for bad loans.
* Bank of Nova Scotia's third-quarter profit fell 14 percent after a big gain from a sale in the year-before period, it said.
* British Prime Minister David Cameron said that a suspected chemical weapons attack in Syria was "absolutely abhorrent" and necessitated action from the international community with Britain considering a "proportionate response".

I followed the recipe almost exactly (even putting 5 chipotle peppers in) except that I left out the chocolate. It didn't sound good to me so I omitted it. The title is no joke....it was spicy!! I didn't add even a drop of Cholula even though I had the bottle open and ready to go.
A little later in the evening I wanted something crunchy and sweet so I went with Special K granola and some chocolate almond milk.
I could really taste the chocolate in this and it was beyond delicious. Then I finished watching American Idol and went to bed.
I knew exactly what I wanted when I woke up: waffle and almond butter. This is the chunky almond butter from Trader Joe's and it's awesome. I cut open a new cantaloupe and was good to go.
I went to Lisa's for the Yoga X video from P90X. It's so exciting to see how much stronger we are getting. We can do poses that we laughed at the first time we tried. I held the crane pose today for at least 5 seconds. :) I promise we'll take a picture soon and post it....now that I can hold the pose long enough!!
I came home and had the last of the Mac & Cheese:
I gave the fourth serving to Lisa to try. I had mine with more broccoli and the leftover veggies I sauteed a few days ago. Really great lunch. I'll have to make that mac & cheese again!
Hey....check out what Lisa did to my heart rate monitor:
She blinged it out. You want one now right? :)
I've been craving chocolate like mad lately. But not just any chocolate....chocolate in the form of baked goods. Before all this Weight Watcher and P90X stuff, I baked a ton of goodies every weekend. I gave a lot away but ate a lot too. So...I'm trying not to bake and it's killing me. I found a recipe for No Pudge Brownie Clone and decided to try it out.
I've made the No Pudge Brownie mix from the box before and for "healthier brownies" they aren't bad. They aren't my beloved Ghiradelli brownies but oh well. These brownies I made today tasted just like the box. I had one warm out of the oven:

Why dont you select an epoxy floor to your house?
Too often they say They are very good, but theyre too expensive, when I talk to people about epoxy floors.
Hm?? Are they? Lets see some facts.
Many Epoxy surfaces are very strong.They are resistant to all home substances, they are also resistant to mechanical shocks, scratching, an such like. Identify supplementary resources on this partner portfolio - Visit this URL: http://lifestyle.kstc45.com/story/29322041/epoxy-floor-cleaner-released-by-epoxyclean-in-colorado. They're easy-to clean and keep. If you know anything at all, you will certainly want to check up about http://www.counton2.com/story/29322041/epoxy-floor-cleaner-released-by-epoxyclean-in-colorado.
Epoxy surfaces may be modernly designed and they have a good visual appearance. Visit Epoxy Floor Cleaner Released By Epoxyclean In Colorado to compare the purpose of this thing.
OK, I must acknowledge that there are lots of other forms of floor coverings that look just as amazing as marble, marble, designed art concrete and some others. These floors are greatly favoured by interior designers and architects. Thats why they are so popular with people for whom access floors and family area floors have
a special meaning.
And what about epoxy terrazzo floors? Well, they may look almost just as marble, marble, an such like. Surfaces,
and they are more rewarding particularly when large areas are involved. Be taught further on the affiliated URL by going to Epoxy Floor Cleaner Released By Epoxyclean In Colorado.
And think about floors in basements, garages, classes, shop rooms, washing rooms, heating rooms, or footpaths around pools, etc?
Most people dont care much in regards to the floors in those areas, or they're the final thing they consider.. They often just leave it to the developer or contractor to determine what floor covering to be used.
Also, the fact remains that individuals usually come to an end of money in the last stage of building or remodeling their houses so they cover their less important floors with the cheapest floor covers they can purchase and which is why they say they are not too poor (usually some vinyl or tile), or they won't cover these floors at all.
It ought to be remembered that the surfaces in garages, store areas and so on. are in very frequent use and are very frequently cleaned.
Also, basement or garage floors, or footpaths around pools and houses are far more often damaged
Compared to other floors in the home.
Epoxy floors are resilient floors. If they are finished with premium quality epoxy resins and correctly,they could be in use for more than 50 years.
Having all that in mind, can you still think that epoxy surfaces are expensive? I'm sure you'll say they're maybe not.
When you consider buying your floors, perhaps you should re-consider epoxy Floor covers after all

Jon Bon Jovi Slams Justin Bieber
Justin Bieber doesn't have a fan in Jon Bon Jovi.
The Jersey rocker slammed the pop star for being disrespectful to fans after showing up for shows late while in Europe.
Bon Jovi told London's Evening Standard,
"Every generation has guys that do that, none of that is new. They run the risk of disrespecting their audience members who have worked hard to pay for their ticket, to give you the permission to take two or three hours of their lives — or in that kid's case, 80 minutes of their lives. Do it once, you can be forgiven. Do it enough times and shame on you. They won't have you back. Then it just becomes a cliché. It's really not cool — you're an a**hole. Go to f***in' work!"
Back in March Bieber was over 2 hours late for a show at London's O2 Arena, later blaming it on 'techincal issues' and claiming he was only 40 minutes late.

S.E. 5A - Scratch Built
This is an S.E.5A that local gentleman built entirely from scratch. He
lovingly drew the plans (fullsize - 3 sheets), ripped the wood required
from balsa/hardwood blocks, and finished it up to about the 95% point
(shaping and sanding done as well).
Other things in his life became a reality, hence I came to own this
pristine one-off example of the WW-I biplane. At 46" wingspan it is
perfect for electric flight, and given the ample control surface area
would be a rather nimble flyer. He orignally intended it for glow, but
the way he built it and the existing hatches that are present make it a
no-brainer conversion.
I am not much for this era of aircraft, but when I first saw it and
understood its pedigree I bought it for myself amongst the rest of the
aircraft he had in his valuable collection to just look at. The ribs/longerons/etc are placed such that when it is covered it will be very appealing to the
(scale) eye. It is designed and built to fly...as in light.
The cabanes and unique gear are built and installed, the radiator is
hand-built from hardwood and beautifully demonstrates the man's
craftsmanship and attention to detail. I have admired it on my wall for
the last 6 months.
I have elected to pass this on to someone who would do it justice, so
the first $250 (you can make offers) I will ship it. Although I pinned the empannage and wings on for the pics, it would be easily be packed in one of the composite sailplane cartons I have on hand. I even possess a lightweight wooden crate (from a sailplane manufacturer in Europe - nicely built in itself) that would be perfect for it.
If folks want specific pics, let me know...

The Beer Baron's Clan
By Karen Edwards
Descendants of a famous Cincinnati brewer discover their German roots—and each other.
Four years ago in Cincinnati, a group of strangers met for the first time. They had only one thing in common: the surname Moerlein.
How the group came together is almost entirely the doing of Steve Moerlein, who says a curiosity about a decorative Moerlein beer tray hanging on the wall of his childhood home in Cincinnati prompted him to do genealogical research into his last name.

Before we begin, just some things you need to consider. Since Adobe is no longer supporting the software, it could prove to be a bit unstable on Android 4.1. Also, because the Chrome for Android doesn't support Flash, those rocking Android 4.1 need to have a stock browser installed. Additionally, without support from Adobe, installing Flash could lead to security issues. Finally, make sure that your device is set to allow third party software to be downloaded on your device. For those Android devices running 2.2, 2.3 or 3.x, go to Settings > Applications. On Android 4.x, you will need to go to Settings > Security.
http://goo.gl/CA1WU and download the Flash for Android application file (apk). After that, pull down the notification page and tap on the file to install. On the page, ta on install to confirm your selection. When Flash is installed, head to your stock browser. For those running Android 3.0 or later go to Menu>Settings>Advanced>Enable Plug-ins. For constant Flash usage, click on "Always on" or if you want to decide when to run the software, click on "On demand".
Those with Android 2.2 or Android 2.3 should head to Menu > Settings (or Menu > More > Settings), which is where the "Enable Plug-ins" option can be found.
And that is all there is to it! You should uncheck the "Unknown Sources" third party software box for security reasons. Let us know if you were able to manually install Flash Player for your Android device using these directions by dropping a comment in the box below.

Wiremold to Romex Transition
Hey All,
So I have a bedroom and a sunroom that share a common wall. The common wall is made of brick.
I'd like to tap into the bedroom outlet on the common wall as a power source for surface mount wiring in the sunroom.
All the Wiremold articles I have read have said you have to start the wire mold from an outlet already in the room. well as the room is all brick there isnt one.
Is it acceptable to bring a line from the bedroom outlet box use NM knockout clamps on this wiremold box to get things started?
Thanks everyone!
Don't even bother using the back put it over an existing outlet, you will need long 6-32's
I think he wants to enter this box from behind with a cable from the receptacle in the bedroom then extend off with wiremold.
This just dawned on me, I will not have enough clearance to use a clamp with my current plan because of the brick. the current alignment allows a straight shot through the mortar from the bed room outlet to the new surface mount outlet
Id have bore a fairly large hole to be able to recess the clamp...
Any alternative ideas?
Chisel out the hole and make enough room for the connector to recess in the hole. Be careful not to overdue it as the mounting holes are close to the connector.

March 12, 2013
London, UK (rushPRnews) 03/12/13 — Research by CTEK, a global battery protection and care brand, has found that a high proportion of motorcyclists are uninformed of the risks associated with using the incorrect type of battery charger to maintain their vehicle's battery, which can lead to complications such as battery sulphation.
The research found that 50 per cent of riders were unaware that using a 'trickle' charger, the preferred method for charging older battery types, is not the appropriate method for charging and maintaining modern battery units. Therefore, if these chargers are used with newer batteries, serious damage could occur.
When the incorrect charger is used, two main problems can arise. Firstly, if a battery is undercharged then sulphation can occur, meaning that it can become deeply discharged or in the worse cases, fail completely. Conversely, it is possible to overcharge a battery, causing it to 'dry out'. This is a common occurrence when using older-style chargers to charge modern and 'maintenance free' batteries, as these chargers can prove too powerful. Additionally, older chargers do not have the advanced features of newer devices and therefore can fail to spot potential problems in the charging cycle.
Both of these problems can be avoided by using a smart battery charger, such as CTEK's MXS 5.0. The MXS 5.0 is a 12V battery charger that provides professional charging and maintenance and can easily solve battery related issues, ensuring that the battery is kept at optimal charge levels and in perfect health at all times. Unlike 'trickle' chargers, smart chargers constantly monitor charge levels and can instantly decide the best action to take for the problem that the battery is facing, making sure that problems such as 'drying out' and sulphation do not develop.
Katariina Stahl, director of sales and marketing at CTEK, commented: "Our research has found that far too many motorcyclists are unaware of the risks of using the wrong type of charger to charge and maintain their motorbike's battery. This can lead to the battery being incorrectly charged, which in turn can cause breakdowns and battery failure. However, by using a smart battery charger, which has the ability to tailor its charging cycle to each specific battery type, these problems are completely avoidable."
To find out how a simple battery check using one of CTEK's smart battery chargers can help prolong the life of your vehicle's battery, please visit www.ctek.com. Follow CTEK on Twitter - @CTEKChargers - and like on Facebook - /CTEKBatteryChargers.

Ellen DeGeneres Ogles Katy Perry's Bosoms
Despite the warnings from CBS to dress modestly, Katy Perry couldn't help but show off her lady pillows at the 55th Annual Grammy Awards last night (February 10).
And while boyfriend John Mayer likely appreciated Perry's seafoam green Gucci dress, the "Hot N Cold" songstress had another admirer as well- Ellen DeGeneres.
The talk show host and her partner Portia de Rossi ran into Katy inside the Staples Center, and Ellen wasn't bashful about gawking at her cleavage.
Unfortunately, Perry's heaving bust line wasn't enough to help her win the Best Pop Solo Performance- Adele ended up with the trophy.

Barking & Dagenham Council have signed up to be a corporate member of the London Cycling Campaign.
If you are an employee of Barking & Dagenham Council you can access free individual LCC membership by filling out the form below (usally £36 for full price membership). Membership is open to everyone from keen cyclists to those who want to start cycling.
The London Cycling Campaign is the expert on urban cycling in London. We're here to help out all London's cyclists and campaign for a city that has safe space for cycling for everyone. We have recently had success with our Love London, Go Dutch campaign and got 10,000 people out on our Big Ride in April - that's the biggest cycle protest London has ever seen.
There are many benefits to cycling - being fitter and saving money are two good ones.
If you're thinking about to start cycling to work here's a few tips:
You don't have to start cycling everyday - just try it for a couple of days a week to start with.
You don't need to spend £100s on special cycling kit - a good waterproof coat, warm gloves and hat will see you through most of the bad weather. If your commute is 20 minutes or less the you probably don't need a change of clothes.
Likewise you don't need a top of the range bike to commute in London. The hills in London aren't that big - if you live in the flat bits of London you can get away with having just the one gear. Look at all the single-speeds and fixies in Shoreditch!
Get a decent lock and learn how best to lock up your bike, with Lucy from LCC:
Plan a route that will make you feel comfortable
Use a journey planner such as CycleStreets to work out the route suitable for you. It gives three options of quiet, fast and balanced routes.
You can also order free cycle guide maps from TfL so you can plan your route on the move.
Seriously consider some on road training - it's usually free!
Cycle training is available free from most councils and is one of the best things you can do to cycle safely. Whatever your level - you will learn something!
The London Borough of Barking & Dagenham offer free cycle training for both adults & children who schools, residents, workers and commuters within the borough. E-mail the Transport Policy Team to arrange your lessons.
Once you've started cycling to work
it's really useful to learn some maintenance basics to keep you moving. Madegood.org is an excellent resource for tutorial videos - here's 'How to fix a puncture'.
More information download our 'Getting Started' guide - if you have any more questions then contact LCC by emailing email@example.com

Have MERCY! I'm pretty sure I almost had a nervous breakdown last night not being able to post.
SIB, Nutella is good in hot chocolate, that is my favorite application of it. For me the Biscoff cookie spread is like crack. It's super sweet, but my word I love it. The Trader Joe's cookie butter is good, but it has little crunchy pieces of cookie in it that hurt my stupid too sensitive teeth.
This is your sweet spreads informational segment for today.

Genworth Cuts 400 Jobs as CEO McInerney Pressured by Rates
Genworth Financial Inc. (GNW), the seller of life insurance and long-term care coverage, said it is eliminating 400 jobs as Chief Executive Officer Thomas McInerney seeks to counter the pressure from low interest rates.
Genworth will take a charge of $15 million to $20 million this quarter tied to the reductions, the Richmond, Virginia-based insurer said today in a statement.
The insurer has been unable to bring profit back to the levels of 2006 and 2007 as losses on mortgage insurance drained capital and low interest rates pressured investment income. McInerney's plan involves not filling 150 vacant positions and cutting information technology costs. The charge includes severance costs for the company, which has about 6,300 employees according to its most recent annual report.
"These are very difficult decisions to make but the changes are essential to our ongoing work to improve the performance of our businesses," McInerney, who took over in January, said in the statement.
The plan will save $80 million to $90 million in annual costs, the insurer said. Genworth has climbed 38 percent this year through yesterday, the second-best performance in the 22-company Standard & Poor's 500 Insurance Index.

Obama Deception Headquarters
posted at 10:01 pm on April 30, 2009 by Keemo
Just finished watching this video.
I jumped in on this video last weekend, and bounced back in every night this week; it's long, but absolutely worthy of your time. While President Obama, Congress, and the MSM attempt to keep Americans in a state of fear and confusion, they are busy moving their agenda forward. Several developments have conveniently slipped by many citizens while the White House and their bed partners in the media have kept our attention on a host of targeted stories.

Unexpected Urgent Refugee and Migration Needs Related To Gaza
Memorandum for the Secretary of State
By the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, including section 2(c)(1) of the Migration and Refugee Assistance Act of 1962 (the "Act"), as amended (22 U.S.C. 2601), I hereby determine, pursuant to section 2(c)(1) of the Act, that it is important to the national interest to furnish assistance under the Act in an amount not to exceed $20.3 million from the United States Emergency Refugee and Migration Assistance Fund for the purpose of meeting unexpected and urgent refugee and migration needs, including by contributions to international, governmental, and nongovernmental organizations and payment of administrative expenses of Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration of the Department of State, related to humanitarian needs of Palestinian refugees and conflict victims in Gaza.
You are authorized and directed to publish this memorandum in the Federal Register.
I have been hearing rumblings that these creatures are headed for my home state of Montana. Is that our punishment for voting against Obama?
This article describes what we are now witnessing:
First proposed in 1966 and named after Columbia University sociologists Richard Andrew Cloward and Frances Fox Piven, the "Cloward-Piven Strategy" seeks to hasten the fall of capitalism by overloading the government bureaucracy with a flood of impossible demands, thus pushing society into crisis and economic collapse.
The key to sparking this rebellion would be to expose the inadequacy of the welfare state. Cloward-Piven's early promoters cited radical organizer Saul Alinsky as their inspiration. "Make the enemy live up to their (sic) own book of rules," Alinsky wrote in his 1972 book Rules for Radicals. When pressed to honor every word of every law and statute, every Judaeo-Christian moral tenet, and every implicit promise of the liberal social contract, human agencies inevitably fall short. The system's failure to "live up" to its rule book can then be used to discredit it altogether, and to replace the capitalist "rule book" with a socialist one.
In 1982, partisans of the Cloward-Piven strategy founded a new "voting rights movement," which purported to take up the unfinished work of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Like ACORN, the organization that spear-headed this campaign, the new "voting rights" movement was led by veterans of George Wiley's welfare rights crusade. Its flagship organizations were Project Vote and Human SERVE, both founded in 1982. Project Vote is an ACORN front group, launched by former NWRO organizer and ACORN co-founder Zach Polett. Human SERVE was founded by Richard A. Cloward and Frances Fox Piven, along with a former NWRO organizer named Hulbert James.
Both the Living Wage and Voting Rights movements depend heavily on financial support from George Soros's Open Society Institute and his "Shadow Party," through whose support the Cloward-Piven strategy continues to provide a blueprint for some of the Left's most ambitious campaigns.
More from the playbook here.
Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid — they are all a part of a large, longstanding, intricately coordinated, and very highly funded movement of "progressives." That means they are Marxists. They are destroying America because they want to. That is exactly their plan.
1. Destroys the "middle class" a.k.a., "capitalists," a.k.a., "bourgeoisie" — (free, self reliant people, able to invest) leaving only the two-level socialist/fascist model of elites and "proletariat," the dependent slaves of the state — they are doing that.
2. Builds the armies of the "proletariat" and turns them against the dwindling "capitalists" instead of themselves, once again by making them dependent upon government — they are doing that.
democraticunderground.com , NETROOTSNATION.org
These 2 websites for the next 12 months are recruiting AN ARMY of American civilians to walk door to door, to have meetings and help push Obama's liberal progressive agenda! This is exactly what Hugo Chavez has been doing in Venezuela the last 10 years. Hugo Chavez created A civilian army within the Venezuelan people. Different layers of civilian army. The so called Civilian ARMY is trained to have classes, meeting, and lectures and to go door to door specially to the poor and teach the "New Revolution of Socialism!
To the point that those layers of civilian army have another purpose which is to be informants for the socialist/dictatorship government. According to the people, you cannot trust anyone including your own family because you do not know who or which of those civilian armies are the informants for the government. People are scared to say anything against the government for fear of losing their jobs or retaliation. To a point we are already seeing the civilian army unleashed in the internet. Popular conservative blog sites are hit hard by internet soldiers anytime an article hits on sensitive subject matter. Here at hotair.com, we have several of these soldiers (aka getalife) that made their way in during open registration.
I'l leave you with this little gem:
A teacher asked her 6th grade class how many of them were Obama fans. Not really knowing what an Obama fan is, but wanting to be liked by the teacher, all the kids raised their hands except for little Johnny. The teacher asked Little Johnny why he has decided to be different.
Little Johnny said, 'Because I'm not an Obama fan.'
The teacher asked, 'Why aren't you an Obama fan?'
Johnny said, 'Because I'm a Republican.'
The teacher asked him why he's a Republican.
Little Johnny answered, 'Well, my Mom's a Republican and my Dad's a Republican, so I'm a Republican.'
Annoyed by this answer, the teacher asked, 'If your mom was a moron and your dad was an idiot, what would that make you?'
With a big smile, Little Johnny replied, 'That would make me an Obama fan.'

Looking For A National Student Loan Database?
Welcome to the Student Loan Database, where we aim to provide all the information you need on getting the best student loan for YOU.
This student loan database website was made to enable you to learn about the best of the best when it comes to getting student loans so that you can get the money you need to further your education, without having to get a full time job, stressing about making enough, just to make it happen, which as we all know will just affect your grades.
Here at the Student Loan Database, we know that knowledge is power, so we want to provide you with information on loan programs that will provide the financial resources you need to go back to school and attain that power you need to be the best at your career.
There is going to be lots of information on this student loan database page, but feel free to poke around on the site as there is plenty more information where this came from that will show you some of the most accredited loan programs around.
Student Loan Database – 8 Epic Programs
Education will enable you to reach greater heights in your career and life, but the cost of education can make a lot of us say "PASS", but do not let that be you, as the ways below can help you earn a degree and start earning a salary in no time. The student loan database below will consist of 8 different loan lenders you can use to get your education first, and pay later, the first 3 being federal loan programs and the last 5 being private lenders.
1. Stafford Loan – This student loan database resource has two different types of loans, subsidized and unsubsidized. The subsidized option is based soley off the financial need of the applicant, and requires you to fill out a FAFSA also known as Free Applicatoin for Federal Student Aid which then your school will review and decide on how much money you need. With this student loan database option, you are not charged interest on your students loans if you are enrolled half time or more, and comes with a 6 month grace period. The unsubsidized option doesn't require you to show that you need financial aid, so it is a lot easier to get compared to a subsidized loan. Your financial loan sum will also be decided by your school, but unlike the subsidized, interest begins to accrue as soon as you are granted the loan which you can choose to pay or not to pay while you are in school. Current interest rates are set at 6.8 percent for 2011 through 2013.
2. Perkins Loan - This student loan database also lends based off the financial need of the person who is applying. All your finances through the Perkins Loan will be issued through your school, and as far as interest goes, it is payed by the government while your are in school as well as during your grace period. They have a ten year repayment plan with the current interest rate being at 5 percent. Undergrads can obtain up to 8,000 per year through them and post grads a cumulative 27,500 for undergraduate loans and up to 60,000 for post graduate training combined with your undergraduate loans
3. Parents Plus Loan – This student loan database is for parents to take out loans for their dependent children, which in most cases either has to be their biological or adoptive parents. Credit checks will be done on the parent applying and must not have a negative credit history. If by chance the parent doesn't pass the credit check it doesn't necessarily mean the student doesn't get the loan, as you can try with another relative or family member, they are called the endorser. In order to do things this way, the parent must agree with the endorser that if the student fails to pay, then the parent will take responsibility for paying the monthly payments. The interest rate is currently fixed at 8.9 percent, 4 percent disbersement fee and is a great program to use when you need a certain amount of extra money to satisfy the total amount of tuition.
1. Sallie Mae Education Trust – This student loan database is an excellent program for all types of students like undergraduate, graduate and professional students. The repayment methods pretty flexible where you can choose between 15 – 30 years. This student loan database has a 6 month grace where you don't pay monthly payments allowing you time to get a job and hast interest rates between LIBOR which means the rates from which they are getting their loan money from a bank in London (London Inter-Bank Offered Rate) at 2.5 – 10.05 percent. This program has other perks like coverage of up to 5,000 dollars lost to payments of medical costs, you can borrow up to the amount that your schooling will cost, insurance on tuition, and rewards for making your payments on time.
2. Citibank – Student Loan Network is another student loan database that you can use. This lender is a national bank that offers student loans with no origination fees, you do not have to pay any money on payments while you are attending school, interest rates are variable and can be found as low as 2.96. You can apply either on your own or provide a cosigner, you can also get 0.25 percent off if you enroll with an auto debit payment plan. Like many of the other student loan database resources, they will assist you in planning a program catered to exactly how much you need for schooling so you won't be stuck with extra payments at the end of your schooling.
3. Wachovia Edcuation Loan – Now part of Wells Fargo, is another great student loan database resource. They offer interest rates as low as 3.4 percent, the ability to borrow up to 25,000 a year, and you do not have to pay while your are in school with this option. They also offer other specific discounts which can be up up to 1 percent of your loan.
4. Access Student Loans – These loans are both offerd to undergraduate and graduate students and have very competitve interest rates. With this student loan database resource, their repayment plan is set at 25 years and can be applied for with or without a cosigner.
5. Chase Bank – This last student loan database resource is another large provider when it comes to private student loans. Some information on this program is that you never have to pay while your are in school, no repayment fees, your funds are sent directly to the school you are attending, you can take out loans that cover the attendance that your other financial aid doesn't cover. This student loan database loan can be used for schooling aspects like tuition, books, living costs as well as purchasing a computer.
