Ron Paul: FDA And Big Pharma 'are in bed together'
(NaturalNews) Ron Paul makes a groundbreaking admission to the public on tape - that the FDA and Big Pharma are indeed "in bed together," both building up their monopolies and only interested in making more money. The Republican presidential candidate confirms that the corrupt corporations are running the show, that the FDA is doing more harm than good and many other eye-opening admittances.
Ron Paul: It never works that way. You know, your safety and your drugs, for instance, it sounds like a reasonable thing. You want safety in your drugs. But the FDA and the drug companies are in bed together and they squeeze out competitions and build up their monopolies and they love government medicine because they make more money. The insurance companies and the drug companies, whether it's Democrats or Republicans reforming the medical care system, these corporations run the show. You know, they support it, it's because the government doesn't take it over. It's the corporations that end up taking over. So, it's well intended but I think it always backfires on us and that the people we're wanting to regulate end up writing their own regulations.
Reporter: So in that particular case would the reasonable alternative being no FDA?
Ron Paul: I think so because, I don't think, I think they've done more harm than good because sometimes it might take them 25 years to allow a good drug to come onto the marketplace and the rules and regulations inhibits the options of the physician to use drugs for anything other than not approved by the FDA, which means it slows up research and the cost goes up and then when it's approved by the FDA, guess what happens? If you're on the inside track of that- I'm the FDA- today I approve this drug, tomorrow, their drug company's value, their stock goes up fifty fold. Just because a bureaucrat made this decision. So, it's a protection of the corporation is basically what it is. People weren't dying from bad drugs before we had the FDA. I mean, it just didn't happen. There'd be other agencies that would do this. There'd be no reason to assume that all of a sudden, the drug companies have it in their interest to give you a bad drug.
Reporter: Well, I'm not sure what fits in there and it's hard to prove a negative, but are you assuming that there are no bad drugs
Ron Paul: There's plenty of bad drugs, and the FDA's permitted a lot of them to get on the market, too. I mean bad drugs on the market now. Did you ever see a PDR? They're about that big and about half of them are useless. But if it's FDA approved- and what does the FDA do when it comes to alternative or natural products? The FDA and the drug industry keeps them off the market. A natural drug product, alternative health care, freedom of choice, it is obstructed from those making those free choices. So it's there to protect the drug industry. They very often do exactly the opposite. I believe in free choice on picking alternative care rather than having it licensed through the FDA and these drug approvals. It delays, it costs so many- this is one reason why drug costs are so high, because it goes through years and years and years of litigation and getting approval, and that's a source of making drug costs much higher in cost.
Reporter: So how did we get to this mess? Let's just stick with FDA or go with Nuclear Regulatory Commission, but how is it that this body of burdensome regulations was allowed to develop? Is it parts of the private sector finding ways to protect themselves or what?
Ron Paul: I don't know, I haven't done a detailed history of exactly this but my assumption would be that it'd be a lot of well noted people saying, well, we need these regulations to help the people and protect the people. But those individuals and the companies that are involved immediately leap to it and take over and find out how they can keep out their competition. What industry it is, whether it's the housing industry, housing insurance, it's always to squeeze the little guy out and protect the big industries. Competition serves the competitor who is trying to compete with big industry, and I don't like to see government protecting big industries and big corporations.

I agree with him. I don't support foreign wars (especially the modern undeclared ones) and I can't see how we think we can afford to have all these bases around the world.

Online To Offline Conversion Monitoring
Tracking online conversions is in no way easy, it's not like you can just have a quick peek at your analytics every now and again, you should look in detail at which pages are performing well and which could do with some fine tuning. To complicate things, there are a number of customers that have queries they need resolving, or prefer to finish their purchase offline. If you aren't keeping track of all the conversions that happen as a consequence of your website, you aren't getting an overall picture of if your online marketing is creating sales.
Phone call tracking is fast becoming an important bit of web analytics and conversion rate optimisation. Using call tracking technology in conjunction with website analytics can connect clicks and calls, and give you a richer picture of how well your campaigns are converting browsers to buyers.
Compared to click-based conversions, tracked phone calls are considered a data rich source of customer feedback and the information obtained from call tracking can help a business refine both online and offline advertising materials, by allocating a unique number to each website visitor so that you can track their progress through the sales process, and give each offline campaign a unique phone number so that you can see a call originated from that particular campaign. The other option is asking each lead and customer where they found your business. if you do this you will not just get a ambigious reply, you may get an incorrect one.
The use of call tracking services to review online-to-offline conversions has in the past only been available to larger companies that have the resources available for a custom solution but now it can be scalable and run with automated and easy to view reporting options, opening it up to the small-to-medium business market. They can also provide easy integration options to work alongside your other web analytics, as well as not requiring any extra software, saving you further costs.
Using call tracking solutions supplies you with the opportunity to monitor your marketing's efficiency as well as giving you the chance to view the areas of your site are producing leads. Telephone calls can have a greater conversion rate, and by providing a phone number you are increasing your chance of a sale, at the same time as still being able to constantly get a complete overview of the success of your marketing mix.

Photos & Reflections
The collaboration between the Center for Global Citizenship and the Worldwide Communications Centers (WCC) has provided the framework to allow the greater Hathaway Brown School community to experience international travel through photos, videos, and other media. The Worldwide Communications Center has supported CGC international travel and exchanges by working with students and faculty in the process of documentation, reflection, and presentation of travel opportunities. As part of the experience, all participants of international trips and exchanges meet with the Worldwide Communications Center to facilitate the media creation process. The WCC supports students before, during and after international trips and exchanges.
Traveling forces us to critically think about ourselves, others, and the world in new ways. Before, during, and after the trip, students participating in international travel and exchanges set aside time to think and write about the significance of the experience. The students believe in the importance of sharing the trip with others, and the following reflections allow them to do so.

How to grow muscle cells in a dishNovember 10, 2006
Smooth muscle cells (SMCs) are a crucial cellular component of many parts of the body, including blood vessels, the intestines, and the lungs. SMCs in the blood vessels are involved in several causes of heart disease and understanding how SMCs are generated is important for designing therapies for such diseases. It is also knowledge that could be used to engineer tissues in the laboratory, for example new blood vessels for use in bypass surgery.
In a study that appears online on November 9, in advance of publication in the December print issue of the Journal of Clinical Investigation, Catherine Verfaille and colleagues at the University of Minnesota Medical School, Minneapolis, show that SMCs can be generated from multipotent adult progenitor cells (MAPCs) isolated from the bone marrow of rats, mice, pigs, and humans. These cells only generated SMCs if exposed to the soluble factor TGF-beta or TGF-beta and another soluble factor PDGFB. SMC development from MAPCs occurred along the normal pathway of SMC development and the cells that were generated had all the functions of normal SMCs. This study therefore identifies a model system for studying the effects of potential therapeutics on SMC development and SMCs. It also describes a potential source of SMCs for engineering tissues.

Concannon Selected Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon 2007
Cabernet Sauvignon from Central Coast, California
Winemaker Notes
The 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon, Selected Vineyards is a well-balanced wine. It exhibits a rich nose of cherry and plum fruit flavors, with hints of chocolate and vanilla oak. The flavorful palate shows rhubarb, pomegranate and more oak flavor overtones. The full finish has hints of sweet tobacco.
Pair with tri-tip of beef or rosemary-rubbed filet mignon.
ConcannonView all wine
A historic and once-famous Livermore winery, Concannon was bought and sold several times in the 1980's by large conglomerates that were purchasing each other. Each sale resulted in a loss of focus, and the brand suffered. In 1992 Eric Wente of Wente Vineyards saved it from the jaws of destruction by assembling a group of eight investors to buy the winery.

you sound like what I am going through. However mine has a few other issues that I have taken care of with the same results. i replaced my intake gaskets since they were rotted. i have a distinct misfire on my #6 cylinder. it backfire and pops through the carb. I put a brand new carb on and a Accel HEI Dizzy. i took the intake off adn found the intake vavle on #6 doesnt close all the way and allowing everything to come through the intake. A compression tast was run on it a few years back and it was steady with the others at 120. The #8 was about 90. So it is trickling through the head it seems. So I am in the same boat you and your friend are in right now.
As for plugs. i am running Accel shorty plugs on my 350. part #8199. they run about $30 for all 8. U-grooved. I have gone through a ton of plugs only to have them either foul out or the wires burn up from the headers. I also run accel 8mm HEI wires. I buy the custom set so you can run them how you want. You get great spark if you run them together. Hopefully that helps a little

Sony has launched Skype video calling on its PlayStation Vita handheld gaming system.
Gamers will be able to download the free app from the PlayStation Store for both the 3G and Wi-Fi models of the PlayStation Vita.
One of the interesting features of this app is that users will be able to flip between the front and rear cameras on the PlayStation Vita, which makes it handy for chatting and showing things, without needing to turn the device around.
The software will run in the background while games are played, though some games will disable it.
"Our users appreciate being able to access Skype features wherever and whenever they choose," said Manrique Brenes, senior director of the consumer electronics group at Skype. "With the launch of Skype for PS Vita, we are taking another step towards our ultimate goal of making Skype video calling available on every platform, all over the world, and meeting the demands of existing PlayStation users to offer video on a gaming console."

Council tax freeze
Where is the money coming from?
Credit easing
Labour's record
Tax evasion
George Osborne is under pressure to come up with new policies to help working families and stimulate economic growth in his speech to Conservative party conference today. We will be fact-checking his announcements as he makes them. Can you help? Email your views to email@example.com, contact me on Twitter @pollycurtis or join the debate below the line.
Council tax freeze
Is it new?
Pre-briefing of the chancellor's speech revealed he will announce the second year of a council tax freeze costing the treasury £800m and saving the average family £72 a year on top of the £72 of the first freeze in 2011-12. George Osborne said today that it was an example of the government helping people where they could, even in difficult economic circumstances.
Labour are saying it's a recycled announcement because the Tories promised a two-year freeze in council tax at their conference in 2008 and the coalition agreement indicates that they want to do it. The document says:
We will freeze Council Tax in England for at least one year, and seek to freeze it for a further year, in partnership with local authorities.
Councils have been so sure that the freeze would happen again that many have already factored it into their budget for next year. However, today's announcement is a first confirmation that Osborne has found the money to do this in 2012-13.
Who will benefit?
The independent Institute for Fiscal Studies did this analysis of the potential impact of a two year freeze. The graph below shows that the very poorest people stand to gain the most in terms of the net change to their income and the very richest, for whom council tax is a tiny proportion of their income, stand to gain the least.
But the people in the second and third income decile groups will benefit least and those at the top end, in the 5th-9th groups, benefit the most.
Carl Emmerson, deputy director of the IFS, says:
Who benefits the most? The very poorest and those in the middle. Those who are poor but not the poorest and the very richest will gain the least. The people who gain the least are the ones on council tax benefit.
It puts some money in people's pockets but it's not doing anything to make the council funding system better. Presumably the grant needs to be permanently higher otherwise you'll see council tax bounce back. It goes against the grain of localism – there are more string attached. It's very different to what government had previously done – got rid of the strings attached.
Though the very poorest benefit the most from the council tax freeze a large proportion of working poor households benefit less than the very richest.
How does it work for councils?
In the first year of the freeze councils only qualified for the subsidy if they completely froze council taxes for residents. Every council in the country did this. But the subsidy from the government was 2.5% of their council tax bill, and with inflation running higher than that, it amounts to a de facto cut on top of their other reducing central government budgets. The rate of Consumer Prices Index (CPI) inflation is currently 4.5%, and the Retail Prices Index measure (which includes housing costs including mortgage payments) is 5.2%.
Simon Parker, director of the New Local Government Network says:
At the moment it is never going to be enough because councils are facing huge cost pressures. It will result in councils making a real terms loss on their income but given the huge pressures that households are under at the moment I suspect they will all sign up to it again. This speaks to the fundamental silliness of the local government funding system that to achieve a steady state you have to increase council tax.
The council funding system is bust and this is a sticking plaster. You need to find a more sustainable way for funding the system. It's interesting that government that keeps telling us there's no money had magicked up a billion pounds for this. The big thing that councils are struggling with are elderly care, children's care, there is a legitimate question to be asked about where this money is coming from and is it directed to the right things?
He adds that there are some suggestions amongst Labour councils that because Tory councils are more likely to be the leafy shires with wealthier households. "That sounds roughly plausible. More rural areas raise more from council tax," he says.
The Conservatives are taking credit for the £800m to implement a second year of council tax cuts but councils themselves will have to find more savings to make it work.
This graph, sent over by my colleagues on the Guardian's datablog, reveals how council tax rises for many years outstripped inflation but that trend has now been reversed since 2007.
Will the freeze remain in place?
The next council tax rise could start from April 2014, unless the government extends the freeze further. The money to pay for the two years of freezes is in place until the end of the spending review, but if the government chose to withdraw it after that councils would face another substantial cut meaning there is some instability in the system and households could face higher "catch-up" rises from 2016.
There are also questions about the future of council tax benefit funding. The government is proposing to localise council tax benefits, which are paid to reduce bills to the unemployed, low earners and pensioners, while also cutting the funding by 10%. It means councils are taking responsibility for a system that will almost inevitably increase bills for some from 2013-14. The government has also said that pensioners should be protected from these cuts so other low-income households could face rises in excess of 10% from next year. It will save £500m a year – less than the £800m announced today. A document produced by Camden Council (pdf) about the implications of this says:
The London Borough of Camden does not support the proposals for localisation of council tax support as we believe that they present an unacceptable financial risk to local authorities at a time when councils are already facing significant funding cuts. The proposals undermine the stability and excellent collection rates of council tax and will lead to public discontent and non payment that became the hallmark of the Community Charge. We believe that the costs of setting up and administering the scheme, taken with an inevitable increase in the cost of collecting council tax and reduced collection rates, will cost the public purse far more than the 10% reduction in expenditure.
Where is the money coming from?
So far at this Conservative party conference, the government has announced £250m for weekly bin collections, £800m for a council tax freeze, £150m to improve broadband networks and £50m for a technology hub in Manchester. The treasury says that the money for each is coming from department "underspends", which occur every year and are inevitable when a government is dealing with a £350bn budget.
I've just been speaking with a source in the treasury about how these underspends work. The source tells me that six months into the financial year the treasury usually has a pretty good idea of where the underspends are occurring. But this year something else has happened. Last year the government abolished "end year flexibility" which allowed Whitehall departments to roll over unspent money year to year, in a bid to claw the money back for the treasury and incentivise departments to use their budgets properly.
The new system, Budget Exchange, allows departments to voluntarily surrender underspends throughout the year in return for a corresponding increase in their budget the next. This essentially still allows for rolling-over budgets, but it puts the treasury firmly in control of where they are happening and when.
My source describes this change as a "contributary factor" in Osborne's ability to make a few give-aways today, even when times are some tight. Osborne is in the position to make costly announcements because he has reformed the accounting system giving him a tighter grip on Whitehall spending.
I'm sure there's more to this - does anyone have any more information about where this funding is coming from? Email your views to firstname.lastname@example.com, contact me on Twitter @pollycurtis or join the debate below the line.
Credit easing
The FT Lexicon has this definition of what credit easing is. It says it is:
The practice in which central banks purchase private sector assets with a view to adding liquidity to a troubled market and so easing the flow of credit and lending in the economy.
It is closely related to quantitative easing, whereby a central bank pumps money into a flagging economy and was first adopted by the US federal research in 20080-9 by Ben Bernanke. This Wall Street Journal blog describes the difference between quantitative and credit easing.
Osborne's speech makes clear that the treasury is only investigating this option as an idea, so there are no firm details about how it might work expected today. The BBC's Robert Peston has been briefed by the treasury and has blogged some more detail of their current thinking about how it might work. He says that the government will purchase company bonds in order to free up money for investment, starting with bigger companies that already issue bonds and moving on to smaller ones that will be packaged together to create bonds for them for the first time.
I've just been speaking with Jonathan Portes, director of the National Institute of Economic and Social Research, formerly chief economist to the cabinet office, who says that credit easing could allow Osborne to circumvent his own rule - reiterated today in the same speech - to stick with the current fiscal plans and at the same time pump money into the economy. He said:
It's a way of getting money out there without u-turning on fiscal policy. Once you get into the business of setting up a state bank to lend, it's not really monetary policy any more its loosening fiscal policy by the backdoor.
There are various different ways of doing this. But the point is clear. We are talking about monetary and fiscal policy acting together. It is contradictory for George Osborne to say we aren't going to loosen fiscal policy and do something like this.
He pointed me to this speech (pdf) given earlier this month by Adam Posen, an external member of the Monetary Policy Committee, in which Posen advocated a policy of credit easing. The idea has gained currency in recent weeks culminating in today's announcement. You can read more about it in this report by the Guardian's Larry Elliot.
Andrew Sparrow, who is live-blogging the Tory conference, has also been briefed by party officials and has posted a fuller explanation here. The following point he reports tallies with Portes questioning of whether this is contradictory to the treasury's own rules.
"Credit easing" will not add to the deficit because the Treasury will be buying assets (bonds). The government will have to borrow to fund the scheme. But that money will no count as borrowing because it will be secured against assets. That's why the Tories are adamant that this is "not plan B".
As an aside, Channel 4 news' economics editor Faisal Islam tweets:
When Darling planned exactly "credit easing" policy in Feb 2009, then Shadow Chancellor said: "the last resort of a desperate government".
Aides to Osborne have said that he was talking about quantitative rather than credit easing at the time.
Labour's record
Osborne lays the blame for the country's economic woes on Labour's borrowing. He said:
The last government borrowed too much money. They thought you could borrow without regard to ability to pay, spend without regard for value for money, all on the premise that boom would never end in bust.
They saddled the country with the worst debt crisis in our history. What a catastrophic mistake. Let us make sure it never happens again.
Julia Finch, the Guardian's City editor, says the chancellor's analysis does not stand up to scrutiny. She writes:
It is far too easy to just blame profligate Labour spending for the current crisis. The argument goes that if Gordon Brown and Alistair Darling had been running a whopping surplus before the credit crunch, the banking crisis and the ensuing recession, then we would not be where we are now.
That simply does not hold water. Two nations that have required an IMF bailout - Iceland and Ireland - were both in surplus in 2007, as was Spain, which could still need one. Between 2002 and 2008, according to the Treasury Red Book, government spending did increase - but no faster than its income. In those years the gap between the two - with spending highest - was equal to about 3% of GDP. Then came 2008 and the banking crisis.
Public spending soared as cash was poured into the banks, while the recession slashed tax receipts. The gap between spending and receipts widened to more than 10% of GDP. Economic growth is now required to increase receipts, while the government's Plan A austerity programme is designed to whittle down spending at the same time.
Even the independent governor of the Bank of England, Mervyn King (though some might say he leans a little towards the current coalition government) has pointed out that the current spending cuts are largely the result of the banking crisis. But Labour is not completely blameless: if it had regulated the banks better the current problems would be smaller.
Tax evasion
Alex Cobham tweets:
Can I suggest you might contrast tax evasion element of Chancellor's speech y'day (we will find you) with Swiss topping.
I think it's a fair point. On tax evasion, the chancellor said:
I want people to be successful. To create wealth and jobs. To get the most out of society - and to put something back. But I'll tell you what this Conservative Chancellor says to rich people who evade their taxes.
We will find you. And we will find your money The days of getting away with it are over.
Just as tough on tax evasion as benefit fraud.
But the biggest policy on tax evasion that the treasury has announced is a deal with Switzerland which mandates the Swiss banks to impose a "withholding" tax on British owned bank accounts. Tax rates will be set slightly lower than UK rates, maintaining the advantage for people to keep their cash off-shore, and crucially it will maintain the secrecy in the Swiss system.
The British government will never know which British citizens are holding how much money in Swiss accounts. The treasury argues it allows the government to get money it otherwise wouldn't and quicker than through the self-assessment system, the justification for setting the rates lower. But it certainly doesn't tick the "we will find you" box.

I am a big fan of all things Disney. In my opinion, Walt Disney was not only one of the greatest entrepreneurs that America has ever known, but he was also filled with a lot of timeless wisdom. For instance one of my favorite of his quotes is that, "A man should never neglect his family for business." I completely agree, and consideration for my family was a big part in my decision to work from home as a freelance writer.
Working from home is sometimes difficult when I am also trying to be a wife and mom. The corner of the dining room table worked as an office at first, but that soon changed. My family was always around, as the mom I had trouble saying no to their requests of my time.
Selecting an Office Space
Although the size of my office started with a laptop, a blank journal, and a ball point pen, I soon realized that I would need my own designated workspace if I was going to actually get any work completed! And that started with selecting the right space.
When you select a space within your home for your new home office, there are so many options available! However, the space you choose will undoubtedly rely on several factors, and you will definitely want your family's input on the subject.
The amount of time you spend working, the distractions you are trying to avoid, and how accessible you are to your family will undoubtedly play a part in your choice. Here are some spaces that you might consider renovating into your home office.
- DINING ROOM – If your dining room only sees use on major holidays, then perhaps it is time for your family to adopt some new holiday traditions. For parents of small children who need to keep an eye on their young charges during the day, a dining room makes a great home office space.
- LAUNDRY AREA – If your laundry room has an empty wall then that could be the perfect area for a home office. If you cannot afford cabinets and a new counter, then consider placing an old door or piece of recycled counter on a pair of low filing cabinets to create a space.
- ATTIC – If your attic ceiling is tall enough to allow adults to walk around comfortably and the space is easy to access, then you might consider turning one end of it into your new home office. Skylights and dormer windows are a great option to adding light to attic spaces.
- BASEMENT – Even if your basement is unfinished, you can claim a corner as your new home office space. Light that replicates the sun and a little paint can brighten up shadowy corners. Just make sure that your basement has no dampness or other moisture problem.
- SUN PORCH – If your home office space is the size of your laptop, then you might consider working in an area like the sun porch. If your porch is not an indoor room, you can still work out in the sunshine on nice days. Just don't forget to take sunscreen to work that day!
Wherever you choose to work in your home, make sure you refer to the space as your office so your family know you are serious about working from home. When they see you taking your work seriously, they will follow your lead on the matter.
Do you have a spare bedroom that you only use to hide holiday decorations and spare pieces of furniture? Trade out the bed for a futon or a small reclining chair and add a desk, some shelves, and a land line with your new office telephone number.
Obtaining Maximum Efficiency
In order to achieve maximum efficiency when you work from home is making sure that you have a home office that is as efficient as possible. When arranging your new work area, avoid unnecessary features that add up to empty, wasted spaces.
Empty spaces invite clutter, and when your home office is cluttered then you will find it difficult to be productive. If your job requires you to keep copies of receipts, for example, then consider keeping digital copies and shredding the originals. Add the shredded paper to your family's compost pile!
If you are a parent who works from home then you deserve to have a proper work area. Whether you are in the guest room or the garage, make sure that you can shut the door and leave "work" at the end of the day. Then you will be refreshed and ready to return to "work" tomorrow.

Rick Springfield was back on the set of "General Hospital" on Thursday, and so was his son - Liam Springthorpe - who has also joined the drama, as the cast prepares to celebrate its 50th anniversary on April 1.
"He's actually gonna blaze his own path," Rick responded when Access Hollywood asked about Liam following in dad's footsteps by joining the show's cast (Rick rose to fame playing Dr. Noah Drake on the show in the 1980s). "It's an interesting first step, I think, on to TV."'

Liam admitted he didn't actually watch his dad - who has played Dr. Noah Drake off and on throughout the years - on the soap.
"I did not, but it's been really great. I've had a really pleasant time here and everything is, so far, going very smoothly. It's been very exciting to kind of branch out and start doing some television," Liam told Access.

Rick said he didn't actually give his son, Liam, who will play an undercover cop on the soap (his "GH" son - Patrick Drake -- is played by Jason Thompson) any advice.
"It's his own path, I mean [it] truly is," Rick said. "I know, because we're doing it together, it seems like I'm going, 'OK, this works on this,' or something, but it's totally not that... It was his choice to become an actor and a musician."
As for Rick, he's the latest daytime hunk to head back to the ABC soap (Jack Wagner recently returned as Frisco Jones), but he's not sure how viewers will find Noah when he finally hits the screen - or if he's even playing Noah Drake.

"I haven't seen a script," he told Access . "I have no idea if I'm, Eli Love or [if] I'm Noah Drake or [if] I'm Rick Springfield. I have no idea what I'm gonna be this time, but I'm open for - 'cause the 50th -- open for whatever you guys want."
Rick said he does expect to perform at the upcoming Nurse's Ball, the big "GH" charity event that the character Sabrina Santiago is reviving.

"They were amazing! They kept the guests entertained all throughout dinner and kept everyone dancing throughout the night. I highly recommend getting 2 dj's (worth the extra money) and playing "Name that Tune"."
Lush Florals370 Kraft Road

"Melanie is amazing! Her flower arrangements are so beautiful and her prices can't be beat. I had ordered roses and peonies for my bridal bouquet and when the roses came in she wasn't happy with the shade that they were, so she upgraded me to all peonies for free. Everyone commented on how beautiful the bouquets were."
Honeymoon Vendor:
Sunset at the Palms, Negril JamaicaPort Colborne, ON, Canada
"The resort is so beautiful. If you're looking for a small, relaxing honeymoon this is perfect. The rooms are beautiful wooden rooms set up on stilts so that when you look out your window all you see is palms trees and gardens. The beach is try lined and makes you feel like you're on a beautiful island instead of a mega-resort. The water is clear blue and the sand is white. There's more than enough beach and pool chairs for everyone, so you don't have to rush down in the morning to reserve one. The a-la-carte restaurant is open 4 nights a week and you can dine there every night it's open - which I recommend because it has the best resort food I've ever had (it even rivals some of the gourmet Canadian restaurants I've been to)."
Limo Company:

"Revered Derek is great! He is very friendly and easy-going. He will travel anywhere in the Niagara Region you need him. You can have a non-religious ceremony, which is what we chose. His wife, Shelley, will send you a sample of the two types of ceremonies and then you can customize them with any prayers or vows that you want added in."
Precious LaplantePort Colborne, ON, Canada
"If you're looking for someone easy-going and easy to get along with who will make you look amazing in photos - this is who you want. I highly recommend taking advantage of the free engagement photos session. We weren't going to, but were glad we did because the pictures were so amazing. Her wedding photos were even better! She caught moments with my guests that I didn't even know happened. Not to mention the beautiful moments between my husband and I."

Ron Capps raced to the Funny Car victory Sunday at the Lucas Oil NHRA Nationals as drivers jockeyed for points position with just one race remaining before the Countdown to the Championshp. Capps moved into the Full Throttle Series points lead for the first time this season with just one race remaining before the playoffs.
Morgan Lucas (Top Fuel) and Erica Enders (Pro Stock) also were winners at the penultimate regular season event in the NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series.
Capps powered away from 15-time world champ John Force in the Funny Car final round to take his third win of the season, third at Brainerd International Raceway and 36th of his career. Capps cruised to a final round performance of 4.134 seconds at 304.05 mph in his NAPA Auto Parts Dodge Charger, while Force's Castrol GTX High Mileage Ford Mustang lost traction and finished in 6.633 at 116.35.
In Top Fuel, Lucas edged Antron Brown line for his third victory of the season and his third win at this event. Lucas posted a 3.818 at 316.90 in his Geico/Lucas Oil dragster to hold off Brown's charging Matco Tools dragster, which trailed with a 3.831 at 313.80.
With the runner-up finish, Brown moved into the series points lead, 58 ahead of Spencer Massey.
Enders continues to make Pro Stock history as she raced to her third victory of the season and second in a row. She outran series points leader Allen Johnson in the final round with a performance of 6.649 at 208.26 in her GK Motorsports Chevy Cobalt. Johnson's Team Mopar Dodge Avenger experienced tire shake at the start and slowed near mid-track. Enders is the first female to win at BIR since Shirley Muldowney won a Top Fuel title here in 1982.

'Faster-ticking clock' indicates early solar system may have evolved faster than we thinkMay 02, 2012
Our solar system is four and a half billion years old, but its formation may have occurred over a shorter period of time than we previously thought, says an international team of researchers from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and universities and laboratories in the US and Japan.
Establishing chronologies of past events or determining ages of objects require having clocks that tick at different paces, according to how far back one looks. Nuclear clocks, used for dating, are based on the rate of decay of an atomic nucleus expressed by a half-life, the time it takes for half of a number of nuclei to decay, a property of each nuclear species.
Radiocarbon dating for example, invented in Chicago in the late 1940s and refined ever since, can date artifacts back to prehistoric times because the half-life of radiocarbon (carbon-14) is a few thousand years. The evaluation of ages of the history of earth or of the solar system requires extremely "slow-paced" chronometers consisting of nuclear clocks with much longer half-lives.
The activity of one of these clocks, known as nucleus samarium-146 (146Sm), was examined by Michael Paul, the Kalman and Malke Cooper Professor of Nuclear Physics at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, as well as researchers from the University of Notre Dame and the Argonne National Laboratory in the US and from two Japanese universities.
146Sm belongs to a family of nuclear species which were "live" in our sun and its solar system when they were born. Events thereafter, and within a few hundred million years, are dated by the amount of 146Sm that was left in various mineral archives until its eventual "extinction."
146Sm has become the main tool for establishing the time evolution of the solar system over its first few hundred million years. This by itself owes to a delicate geochemical property of the element samarium, a rare element in nature. It is a sensitive probe for the separation, or differentiation, of the silicate portion of earth and of other planetary bodies.
The main result of the work of the international scientists, detailed in a recent article in the journal Science, is a new determination of the half-life of 146Sm, previously adopted as 103 million years, to a much shorter value of 68 million years. The shorter half-life value, like a clock ticking faster, has the effect of shrinking the assessed chronology of events in the early solar system and in planetary differentiation into a shorter time span.
The new time scale, interestingly, is now consistent with a recent and precise dating made on a lunar rock and is in better agreement with the dating obtained with other chronometers.
The measurement of the half-life of 146Sm, performed over several years by the collaborators, involved the use of the ATLAS particle accelerator at Argonne National Laboratory in Illinois.

The Eisenhower Monument at West Point
|For General of the Army and former President Dwight D. Eisenhower
|May 1983
near Highland Falls, NY
|Designed by
|Robert L. Dean, Jr.
Dwight D. Eisenhower, Supreme Allied Commander Europe, 34th President of the United States
The Eisenhower Monument at the United States Military Academy is a monument to former General of the Army and the 34th President of the United States, Dwight D. Eisenhower.
The subject[edit]
As a member of the famed West Point Class of 1915, (known as "The Class the Stars Fell On"), Eisenhower rose to prominence as an Army officer during World War II, where he was the Supreme Allied Commander Europe. After the war, he served as the Army's Chief of Staff before being elected President in 1952.
Description and commissioning[edit]
The statue stands nine feet tall and is perched upon a pedestal of red granite.[2]
The bid for the monument originally included noted sculptors Donald De Lue, Felix De Weldon and Walker Hancock, but the commission went to class of 1953 West Point graduate Robert L. Dean, Jr.[3] After receiving the commission, Dean was offered one of the General's actual uniforms as a model by Eisenhower's son.[3] Dean molded the wax model at his home in Pennsylvania and cast the bronze statue in Italy before the monument was unveiled on 3 May 1983.[3]

The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) covers all information held by the
University. Unless the information falls into one of the Act's narrow and
specific exemptions, the University is obliged to provide access to any
individual who requests to see it.
The exemptions are broken down into two categories: absolute exemptions,
where disclosure of the information is not necessary; and qualified
exemptions, which means the information is subject to a 'public interest
test'. Qualified exemptions will only apply where pressing public interest
arguments can be made for withholding the information. In effect,
information that falls into a particular qualified exemption category will
still have to be disclosed unless it can be argued that the public interest
in withholding it is greater than the public interest in releasing it.
Generally, the public interest is considered to be served when the
disclosure of information would do any of the following:
Out of the 23 exemption categories that exist within the Act, 9 have
direct relevance to University activities. Explanations and advice relating
to these 9 exemptions are below:
Information which is "reasonably accessible to the applicant" is exempt.
This means the University does not have to provide information that is
available to an applicant elsewhere. The thinking behind the exemption is
that if there is another route by which someone can obtain information,
there is no need for the Act to provide the means of access. The University
is still under a duty, however, to provide advice and assistance to
applicants requesting information. This means that any individual
requesting information should be left in no doubt at all as to how and
where the information can be obtained.
The use of the term "to the applicant", as opposed to "to the public", is
significant. The circumstances of the applicant may have a bearing on
whether the information is accessible to them or not, and thus whether the
exemption applies. Information may be regarded as reasonably accessible to
the applicant even if it is only accessible by payment.
The University's Freedom of Information
Publication Schemes
are examples of where information is already accessible to those who may
request to see it. The more information that is published in the schemes,
the less access to information will need to be provided on request.
Information is exempt from disclosure if the University plans to publish
it at some point in the future, regardless of whether the date for future
publication has been determined. When relying upon this exemption, there is
an expectation for evidence to be produced to substantiate the claim that
there is, at the time the request is made, a settled intention to publish.
In order to be able to rely on this exemption, there are two issues to be
Draft Documents and Papers: The exemption relating to
information intended for future publication may also cover information that
has not yet been prepared for publication. Although it does not apply to
drafts in general, the exemption may cover drafts of documents that are
intended for future publication. For the exemption to be relevant there must
be a firm intention to publish the information at the time the request is
received. The fact that the information contained in a draft may be subject
to amendment or may be omitted from the final published version does not
necessarily mean that it would be wrong to invoke the exemption.
When thinking about drafts, it is also necessary to distinguish between
the information that the University proposes to publish and the associated
background information. For example, discussion papers that may have been
prepared in order to assist decisions laid out in a particular publication,
but which are not intended for publication themselves, are not subject to
the exemption and must be disclosed.
It is also useful to reiterate that the FOIA relates to 'information'
rather than 'documents'. The fact that the words of the final document may
differ from those of earlier drafts does not necessarily mean that the
information is not the same.
Once a finalised document is published, it is important that the
University's policy on
draft papers is
adhered to.
Information is exempt if its disclosure under the Act would prejudice the
enforcement of the law. This covers the:
Equally, the Act provides an exemption for information relating to the
University's role in certain civil proceedings. The following circumstances
may be of relevance to University activities:
Information is exempt if disclosure
would endanger the physical or mental health or the safety of any
The only exemption to fall into both categories, this one deals with the
disclosure of personal information under the FOIA. Further information can
be found on the
Freedom of Information and Personal Data
Information is exempt from disclosure if, in the reasonable opinion of a
"qualified person", it would inhibit the free and frank provision of advice
or exchange of views, or would otherwise prejudice the effective conduct of
public affairs. The Vice-Chancellor is considered to be a relevant
"qualified person".
The Information Commissioner is keen to highlight that all work carried
out by public authorities may be considered to be "public affairs", so it is
important not to see this exemption as a catch-all.
Generally, the exemption means that information is exempt if its
disclosure would restrain, decrease or suppress the freedom with which
opinions or options are expressed. Examples of "advice" could be
recommendations made by more junior staff to more senior staff, or advice
from or supplied to external sources.
While the Act does not define "effective conduct" or "public affairs",
the general view is that the exemption is designed to cover rare, unforeseen
situations that cannot be covered by another exemption (but still require
information to be withheld in the interests of good governance), rather than
catching anything and everything that is not otherwise exempt.
The Information Commissioner acknowledges that the prospect of
disclosure of information that reveals internal thinking processes may be
detrimental to the quality of either policy or decision making within the
University. The overall view, though, is that there must be some clear,
specific and credible evidence that the substance or quality of
deliberations or advice would be damaged by the threat of disclosure under
the FOIA.
Information is exempt if it was obtained by the University from any other
person or organisation, including another public authority, and its
disclosure to the public would constitute an "actionable breach of
confidence". "Actionable" means that an aggrieved party would have the right
to take the University to court as a result of the disclosure. Please note
that information generated by the University itself would never have been
obtained in confidence and consequently would not fall within this
exemption. Equally, the exemption does not apply where the information
passes between different parts of the University. The Information
Commissioner has made it clear that this exemption should be seen and
applied in a limited and narrow way. Documents marked "confidential" will
not be exempt from disclosure.
For the exemption to apply, the information must have been obtained under
a duty of confidence, and it must still be an "actionable breach of
confidence" to disclose the information at the time that the application for
disclosure is made. This begs an obvious question: What is an "actionable
breach of confidence"? Essentially, a breach of confidence has occurred if
information is disclosed to the public that was provided to the University
by a person or organisation on the understanding that it would remain
confidential. It may be that over time the information loses the importance
of its original confidentiality. Under these circumstances, disclosure is
possible. The best course of action is to check with the person or
organisation affected. It should be noted, however, that the University
itself must be satisfied that an obligation of confidence exists. There is
no veto given to third parties who object to disclosure. In effect, the
University must make the final decision.
Analysing the existence of a duty of confidence is potentially a
difficult judgement to make. The following factors should be considered:
The Act provides an exemption for any requested information that is
protected by legal professional privilege that could be maintained in legal
proceedings. The privilege aims to ensure that any communication between the
University and its legal advisers will be treated in confidence and not
revealed without consent.
Information is exempt if it constitutes a "trade secret" or if its
disclosure would prejudice the commercial interests of any person or
organisation, including the University. It is important to note the
distinction between commercial interests and financial interests. Commercial
information relates to the activity of buying or selling goods and services.
While there will be many cases where the financial interests of the
University may affect its commercial interests, this is not necessarily
always the case. For example, information relating to how the level of
tuition fees is set affects the financial interests of the University, but
the information does not relate to its commercial activity.
The application of this exemption may vary depending upon the time when a
request for information is received. For example, the commercial interests
of a company might be prejudiced if certain information was made public
whilst the company was tendering for a contract. If the same information was
requested some time after the contract had been awarded, however, there may
not be the same prejudice. Please note that the expression "trade secret" is
not defined in the Act, but the Information Commissioner states that it is
an expression well understood at common law within the law of confidence as
being something that a business would consider as giving it a commercial
advantage over its competitors.
Information is exempt from disclosure if it is prohibited under any other
legislation or would constitute a contempt of court.
Other exemptions in the Act relate to:

"Small animals, and pet supply store.Pet Friendly"
I think that this is an aweful petstore. The staff dont have alot of knowledge about most of the products because of lack of training and the dog daycare is just a small room at the back where the dogs are unsupervised for most of the day. I mean if I was paying for someone to look after my dog i would think that they would actually watch them but no not here. My advice would be to go somewhere else.
Good Selection
They have a good selection of items, are very friendly towards owners who bring their pets into browse, and have decent prices. Their day care facility is not what I would call top-notch but for those in a bind it suites its purpose. They sell the typical dog food brands like Iams, Science Diet, etc so tend to fall in the same area as the other giant dog supply chains.


text: ok pretty straight forward my gf has finally caved and agreed to dress up as cammy, yes in the bedroom, so she does not want the armor, but the main outfit, the olive green with leggings but we do not know where to get the items, we searched online but only came up with other peoples assembled costumes. we cannot find a store with the items we need. i hope you people here can provide the help we need. any stores you can suggest preferably online we dont want to travel. :)

Scott Brown Should Take the Money
Scott Brown, the former shooting star of Republican politics, needs to study his Shakespeare: Hamlet was a lousy politician.
The former senator from Massachusetts, unseated in 2012 by Elizabeth Warren, has told associates recently that he will either: a) run in New Hampshire for the U.S. Senate; b) pass on running in New Hampshire and begin planning a bid for the presidency in 2016; c) bide his time for an opportune moment to run for office in his first home, Massachusetts; or d) forgo politics and focus on making money.
The betting odds favor him declaring for the New Hampshire race later this month.
Brown, who won a special election to replace the late Senator Ted Kennedy, has a second home in New Hampshire and for months has flirted with the idea of challenging incumbent Democratic Senator Jeanne Shaheen.
New Hampshire Republicans say Brown's candidacy looks likely. He has enlisted a Washington political consulting firm and a former top aide to New Hampshire's Republican Senator Kelly Ayotte to prepare for a campaign.
But his vacillation has been costly. Polls earlier this year showed a Shaheen-Brown matchup to be competitive. A Suffolk University-Boston Herald poll released last week, though, had Shaheen as a 13-point favorite.
The 54-year-old Brown has told some prominent Republicans that his real desire is to run for president, which isn't a notion that has galvanized supporters. He passed up running for office in Massachusetts this year, and there won't be another gubernatorial or senate election in the Bay State until 2018.
In the 2010 special election, Brown capitalized on a backlash against the imminent passage of the Affordable Care Act and won a race against an inept opponent. He now seems to be making the same miscalculation that has afflicted other surprise winners: assuming the victory was about him rather than the moment and the opponent.

At the dawn of time, including your email address on a web page didn't seem like a horrible idea. Now, that's the easiest way to get on every spam list around. Sadly, this makes it a little more difficult to solicit email from site visitors.
Silvan Mühlemann decided to find the best way to safely publish an email address. He started his test almost two years ago and recently published the results.
Silvan created nine email addresses and use a different method of obfuscation–nine different ways of hiding the actual address. Of the methods he tested, three of the email addresses never received a spam message.
The simplest method is to add markup with display: none styling so it doesn't show:
email@nullexample.com
The other two methods are reversing backwards text with unicode declarations and simple ROT13 encoding using JavaScript to decode. Next on the list, receiving just a few spam emails, was the popular email AT example DOT com method. Silvan did not test the email-as-image method, one employed by Facebook on its profile pages.
These methods probably won't work with a mailto: link for easy clicking. Still, they all allow copy-pasting, instead of laborious re-typing, so they're worth a shot. And yes, I know you could just use a contact form, but isn't that a little impersonal? I think so.Go Back to Top. Skip To: Start of Article.

"One for the money, two for the show." Celebrity couples are worth a ton of money together, with their assets combined. All around the world, the top power players of every industry make quite a team when they match up with another individual in the same industry. An actor or athlete can have an amazing salary, but when they get together with someone else with the same career, it increases big time. Talk about a touchdown! When you have been in a relationship with your partner for a long time, or become engaged or married, typically the incomes of both parties are put together for the household. A celebrity relationship is no different. With their abundant net worths, they are able to afford all of the luxuries the world has to offer. Therefore; they also spare no expense when it comes to celebrity weddings and having celebrity babies. The celebrity relationship that works hard together, plays hard, too!
