General Journalism Projects in Ethiopia by Christine Hall
It's been just over three months since I returned from a trip of a lifetime – volunteering in Ethiopia with Projects Abroad. I first came across Projects Abroad on the internet looking at volunteer projects overseas. I didn't have Ethiopia in mind particularly but I really wanted to go to Africa. When I finally hit on Projects Abroad and read about the opportunity for teaching English (I am a qualified CELTA teacher) and the possibility of working in journalism for an Ethiopian newspaper in Addis Ababa, I was to say the least, 'hooked'!
I left here on the 20th March for two months. From the moment I arrived and was met by Weini of Projects Abroad I knew I had come to a very friendly and vibrant country. After being looked after at head office by Sami and Bikesegn - until my host family could accommodate me (they work incredibly long hours) I quickly fell into the rhythm of life both with my wonderful host family and in Addis' bustling city. My host family were wonderful and truly inspirational – Atsede my host mother who started her own school called LemLem is a role model for women everywhere. She started from nothing but sheer determination and the wish to see children in a deprived area have the opportunity to go to school and be educated.
Her school accommodates over 700 pupils and is run by her, her daughter Eldana and approximately 30 other staff. She was so inspirational that I decided to write my first article about her life. To my delight and surprise The Reporter Newspaper where I worked as a journalist, printed my article titled 'How a remarkable Woman realized her Vision'. My host family were over the moon when they saw their story in the paper and I shall never forget the thanks and the hug that Atsede gave me for putting her story 'in print'!
The people, the laughter, the sunshine stand out in my mind - each person I met and got to know caused me to have a special love for Ethiopia. Their hospitality and constant giving was at times overwhelming – I had to force some birr into the hands of one of my hosts as he and his friends just continually insisted on paying for any meal out we had together and then also for the taxi ride back to my host family!
The highlights of my trip are many – but teaching the eager students at The International Practical Language and Leadership School were some of the most wonderful moments. I am an Australian and teach in an open and very animated way – this was appreciated but also caused a lot of laughter and there were times the class just cracked up with the funny instances that occurred during our lessons when communication in a western way caused some very humorous misunderstandings. These relationships have continued as many of my students write to me now via email and that has been a great joy to me - I have forged many friendships which will be strengthened when I return to Ethiopia later this year.
My two months in Addis were both busy and eventful. I remember one incident where I had to keep hold of the taxi door – it would not shut, until I arrived at my destination!
About two weeks before leaving for the UK I was fortunate to be offered a weekend trip away to Awasa about 300km from Addis. My host family's daughter took me in a rented car for a weekend trip to see rural Ethiopia – a big contrast from the busy bustling city of Addis. It was truly an eye opener. As I gleaned the green fields with their beautiful mountains silhouetted in the background, I exclaimed to my companions 'what a stunning county you live in'!
One tends to forget that the images of drought and starvation are still indelibly etched on our western minds when we think of Ethiopia; but time and change in economic development revealed a very different Ethiopia. The hustle and bustle of people and animals that we passed along the way really showed me how these small communities interact with each other, selling their produce at the many road side markets, herding animals along and tilling the fields in order to feed their families. As I watched and we passed many such villages I couldn't help but notice the humble donkey whose body was covered in yellow plastic water containers jauntily walking along the side of the road, either going to or returning from the nearest water hole! We take so much for granted in the west – just turn on the tap and all the water we want spills out!
As we drove further into the countryside we had to be aware of people or animals meandering across the road. Sometimes Eldana had to quickly swerve out of the way and on one occasion I couldn't believe my eyes as we were driving down a long stretch of road we could see ahead of us three horses who were just standing in the middle of the road – no doubt saying 'we were here first'! No matter how close we came to them they did not budge! My companions and I laughed as I quickly snapped a picture. As we drove a little further to our surprise we happened upon a goat who decided to walk across a zebra crossing - at its leisure - glaring at us as if we had not right to toot our horn in order to move it along, ' I have the right of way' was it obvious response as we veered around it. We laughed as we decided that the animals made no distinction between the road and the fields!
After a wonderful evening watching the sun go down at Lake Langano we sat and ate some delicious fish and watched many young Ethiopians who had traveled here for the weekend make camp, light fires and set up their noisy music machines! It was great to watch as they relaxed under the still and ink black sky. It reminded me of camping days in my native Australia – not so different from some of the rural countryside we had traveled through. At times as I viewed the landscape with its many Eucalyptus trees and reddish soil I could have been in Australia.
Once we arrived in Awasa we took a small boat out on Lake Awasa and with the Ethiopian flag flying proudly we motored out in search for Hippos – after a rather choppy boat ride we finally saw, ever so briefly, three hippos bob their heads up for a few seconds. I tried to take a photo but they submerged too quickly! However the soft breeze, sunshine and beauty of the lake were a wonderful adventure with my hospitable and fun loving Ethiopian companions. I think I knew then that Ethiopia had really stolen a piece of my heart!
Soon my two months would be up and I would fly back to the UK but not without a special evening with my students. On May 19th the school (PILLS) Practical International Language and Leadership School where I had taught classes for the last two months threw me and Jason (my fellow volunteer) a party – it was wonderful - the connections I had made both as a teacher and as a friend were more than evident, I had to work hard at keeping my emotions in check!
As Jason and I opened our wonderful presents, ate a delicious cake and engaged in non stop dancing, Gureginia style (not sure of the spelling!)I knew that I would return one day soon. I felt I had truly had and experience I would never forget and would like to build on in the future – there is so much to learn, to do and to give. I would recommend this experience to anyone who has a love for Africa – particularly Ethiopia as it's a nation that provides spectacular scenery and sites but also an amazingly industrious and friendly people.

FAQS for .ORG German International Domain Names
- What are Internationalized Domain Names?
- When will PIR launch IDNs?
- What language scripts will be available for registration?
- What browsers support IDNs?
- Can I register German IDNs with the character "ß" (Eszet)?
- How will IDNs be displayed in Whois?
What are Internationalized Domain Names?
Internationalized Domain Names "IDNs" are domain/host names that are represented with native language, non-ASCII characters. The native language domain name is followed by the Top Level Domain (TLD), such as .org. An example of an IDN is: müller.org.
PIR will launch the availability of .ORG German script IDN registrations on 15 January, 2005 at 19:00 UTC on a first-come, first-served basis.
What language scripts will be available for registration?
The initial .ORG IDN deployment will only accept German script IDN registrations. PIR will launch German IDNs with only the three umlaut characters (ä, ö, and ü) in compliance with the Internet Engineering Task Force IDN standards and Internet Corporation of Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) IDN guidelines.
Netscape 7.1. Mozilla 1.4, Firefox 1.0, as well as Opera 7 are the first browsers to include built in support for the IETF IDN standard. Further questions about IDN compatibility should be directed to your registrar or choice.
Can I register German IDNs with the character "ß" (Eszet)?
No. PIR will launch German IDNs with only the three umlaut characters (ä, ö, and ü) in compliance with the IETF IDN standards and ICANN IDN guidelines. As such, according to the IDN technical standards, the "ß" (Eszet) is mapped to "ss" based on the Nameprep mechanism.
How will IDNs be displayed in Whois?
The "domain name" field will display the registered IDN in Punycode (e.g.: xn--probestck-w9a.org). Three additional fields will be introduced to the PIR Whois:
IDN Script: The intended script / language (based on RFC3066) of the IDN as determined by the registrant (e.g. "de" for German)
Unicode Hex: The IDN in Unicode Hex format (e.g. U+0070 U+0072 U+006F U+0062 U+0065 U+0073 U+0074 U+00FC U+0063 U+006B)
Unicode HTML: The IDN in HTML entity format (e.g.: probestück)

A lot of rhubarb, straight from the farm
I have never seen so much rhubarb in my life, so naturally I went a bit grazy and left the greenhouse with a huge bunch or fat rosy stalks. I've already made some delicious cinnamon rhubarb muffins, and a gutsy rhubarb crumble with almonds. Last night K. poached some rhubarb in verjuice and spices and served it with a syllabub. Tomorrow I'll be making some rhubarb & ginger jam.
I leave you with a few pictures of me misbehaving in the rhubarb greenhouse. The guy in the picture is Endel, the farmer. You can see the individual pictures on my Flickr page.

Mmm i love Rhubarb. If you have any left over, I made a wonderful rhubarb and rosemary tart-tatin with a glut we had last week.
It would work equally well as a pie or crumble.
Give it a go rosemary goes wonderfully with it

Hehe, rabarberiparadiis. Ja mina siin rõõmustan paarikümnesentimeetriste varte üle :P Aga rabarber on nagu kevadine õun, eks - vähemalt minu jaoks, koogientusiasmiks ja inspiratsiooniks.

Dagmar - yes, I'm pretty lucky I guess. I hope to be able to collect some rhubarb from my own garden next year!
Ivonne - I already posted the recipe for rhubarb & ginger jam, and muffins and crumble will follow soon.
Mann - no need on kütmata kilekasvuhoonest pärit ja olid tõesti uhked. Ise korjaks vast veidi saledamaid rabarbrivarsi, aga kui tasuta sai, siis ... :)
Zarah Maria - we're ok, thank you. Shocked, granted, and still anxious about coming Wednesday. I guess I just need to eat a lot of rhubarb to calm my nerves:)
Mark - I would have never thought of rhubarb & rosemary, but will keep this combination in mind!
Pene - the crumble recipe is on its way!
Thredahlia - vaatepilt oli tõesti võimas! Kusjuures minu suureks nördimuseks müüvad kaubanduskeskused nt hoopis suht närtsinud moega hollandi rabarbrit.. Eelmisel nädalal nägin ühes poes küll ka Sagro oma, aga mujal oli kas hollandi omi või siis polnudki rabarbrit..
K&S - I must admit we got even more carrots, so we've got a LOT of rhubarb and a LOT of carrots to eat these days..

Lincoln Mayor Coleen J. Seng today congratulated Lincoln Plating for being one of only 12 workplaces nationwide to be awarded the Platinum Well Workplace Award from the Wellness Councils of America (WELCOA). This award is given only to companies that can demonstrate positive financial results from their wellness program and a strong connection between their wellness programs and their corporate strategic plans.
"Lincoln Plating is proof that an investment in worksite wellness pays in lower health care costs, lower health insurance premiums and a happier workforce," said Mayor Seng. "The people of Lincoln Plating are to be congratulated for being the first company in Lincoln to achieve this prestigious designation."
Lincoln Plating, founded in 1952, is one of the nation's largest and most diverse metal finishing companies. It employs 350 people at the corporate headquarters at 600 West "E" Street. Lincoln Plating developed its wellness program 15 years ago, making it one of the first companies in the nation to do so. The company mandates that each person be checked quarterly for changes in weight, flexibility and blood pressure. Goals are established jointly with the wellness coordinator, monitored throughout the year and included in the job performance review process.
WELCOA will present Lincoln Plating with the award at the company's "Night of Champions," its annual recognition event Friday, October 10.
"We want the award to be presented to our people because they are the ones who have worked to make our wellness programs successful," said Marc LeBaron CEO and Chairman of Lincoln Plating. "We try to make wellness fun with contests, special events and activities. At the same time, we take wellness seriously, and the results are improved attendance and morale and lower health care costs."
LeBaron said that over the last three years, Lincoln Plating has paid lower health insurance rates than similar companies in the plains states.
"Lincoln Plating exemplifies the best of what worksite wellness has to offer," said David Hunnicutt, WELCOA President. "Because of the company's dedication to the health and well-being of its people and commitment to creating an unmatched working environment, this company has truly excelled in the area of workplace wellness. It is my pleasure to add Lincoln Plating to the elite group of Platinum Workplace Award winners."
Lincoln has been designated as a "Well City, U.S.A." since the fall of 2000. That designation requires that at least 20 percent of the City's employees work in businesses that qualify as Well Workplaces. WorkWell, Inc., Lincoln's work site wellness council partners with the Lincoln-Lancaster County Health Department on workplace wellness efforts in Lincoln. Currently, 33 businesses in Lincoln have achieved the status of bronze, silver or gold Well Workplaces.

CHICAGO — Two of the biggest names in the industry, Jack LaLanne and Mark Mastrov, highlighted Club Industry 2009 last month in Chicago.
LaLanne, who turned 95 in September, addressed a packed room during the first of two keynote addresses at the show. LaLanne was joined by his wife of 50 years, Elaine LaLanne, who introduced her husband with a video montage of his career highlights, including clips from "The Jack LaLanne Show."
LaLanne entertained the audience with several stories, including one involving a young Austrian bodybuilder named Arnold Schwarzenegger. After LaLanne challenged Schwarzenegger to a fitness showdown and then beat him, the future California governor said, "That Jack LaLanne's an animal!"
LaLanne delivered his famous phrases, such as, "If man made it, don't eat it!" and "If it tastes good, spit it out!" LaLanne also didn't mince words about the status of Americans' health today.
"All these people are out of shape, and there's no reason for it," said LaLanne, who encouraged the room full of fitness professionals to make a difference in people's lives, just as he has for 80 years. After the address, LaLanne signed autographs and posed for photos for more than an hour.
Mastrov, the founder of 24 Hour Fitness who now leads his new company, New Evolution Fitness Co., delivered the show's second keynote address. Mastrov discussed the basic principles of club development and stressed that with the recession nearing its end, this may be the best time to open or acquire clubs.
"The next five years is the best run we're ever going to have," Mastrov told a packed room. "The markets are coming back. You can feel it."
Mastrov also said club operators can improve their club's performance in many areas, including personal training and nutrition. "The difference between success and failure is one more (membership) unit a day," he said.
Prior to Mastrov's address, Club Industry presented its Best of the Best awards to six fitness facility operators in the categories of best behavior modification program, best children's program, best community-based program, best group training, best new member integration program and best nonmember program.
The Club Industry East show is scheduled for May 5-7, 2010, at The Javits Center in New York.

Being a military wife, I have had many conversations at the dinner table where I find myself asking, "What does that mean again?" a million times. Anyone who has watched a movie based on the military, have friends in the military, or have even served in the military themselves will say that they have the military has it's own language, made up of many different acronyms.
Having lived on a military base, it's a wonder I made it home those first few days after I moved there. Lucky for me, they actually labeled secure zones "Restricted area" and there were guards who were quick to point you on your way if you drove to a spot where you were not allowed access. Most places allowed civilians if you knew what the acronyms stood for, NEX also known as the Navy Exchange is a great place for tax free shopping!
Some of these more common military acronyms will help you keep up during your next chat with your military friends.
-AD: Active Duty
-APO: Army Post Office
-AWOL: Absent Without Leave (I think this one is self explanatory, you DON'T wanna go AWOL)
-BDU: Battle Dress Uniform (Working Uniform)
-CO: Commanding Officer (Also known as the "boss")
-CONUS: Continental United States
-DOD: Department of Defense
-LES: Leave and Earning Statements (Military pay stub, this requires a degree in military language to read)
-MP: Military Police
-OCONUS: Outside Continental United States
-PCS: Permanent Change of Station (Moving time!)
-USA: United States Army
-USCG: United States Coast Guard
-USMC: United States Marine Corps
-USN: United States Navy

Under the new rules for insurance a child can have insurance under the parent's policy until 26. I am wondering if they have to be attending college full-time to be on our insurance. My daughter is on the verge of dropping out, and I told her she would lose her insurance if she did. I'll do anything to keep her from leaving school. But am I right about this?
Future Grad's Dad
Dear Future Grad's Dad,
You are correct that health reform requires most plans to cover children up to age 26. (There are a few exceptions: plans that did not cover children at all.) But she is not required to be attending college in order to stay on your plan. You may not want her to find out that she is also not required to be living with you, to be financially dependent upon you, or to be unmarried. If she did get married, your plan cannot cover her spouse however.
You will have to find another way to keep her in school. She will need to have her own insurance at age 26, or a way to pay for COBRA, if your plan offers it. Finishing her degree will certainly help her get a job and be able to afford that.

The Western Catholic Reporter in Edmonton, Alberta, has this feature about some of the drawbacks of "green" agriculture.
The article focuses on the use of certain crops as fuel, a growing practice around the world, especially in developing countries.
Agro-fuels are created from agricultural products such as corn, sugar, palm oil, canola and soy. They are usually grown in large-scale monocultures that depend on chemical fertilizers, cause deforestation, pollute water and damage biodiversity.
As demand for agro-fuels increases, so does the price of food because farmers devote more of their land to growing agro-fuel crops. In Mexico, for example, the price of corn went up by 70 percent in six months during 2006-07. Mexican corn was being sold for ethanol use in the United States.
The information for the story came from a conference in Edmonton with speakers from the Canadian Catholic Organization for Development and Peace, the Canadian counterpart to the U.S. bishops' Catholic Relief Services.

The journal Health Affairs has put together a special issue in the wake of the Supreme Court upholding the Affordable Care Act, looking specifically at hospitals that service the impoverished and the uninsured. These hospitals have been doing surprisingly well for themselves.
With these hospitals poised to accept the bulk of the newly-insured under the act, their current performance has become a topic of debate, but it seems they might not have been doing as poorly as is commonly thought.
In key areas, such as treating Medicare patients with acute myocardial infarction, heart failure, or pneumonia, the safety-net hospitals stood equal with the more affluent ones. In fact, the rate difference between the two types was broadly less than 1%, proving that just because a hospital works with an underserved community, it doesn't have to offer subpar care.
Another study showed that prior to the current depression, many safety-net hospitals thrived and maintained profitability — especially those controlled directly by elected officials in competitive markets.
This seems to have been due to local government support for the institutions, such as such as property tax transfers or extra Medicaid payments. However, the recession has put a major dampener on these sources, and the banner of deficit reduction has caused support for safety-net hospitals to shrink. With the threat of significant higher patient load from the Affordable Care Act, these hospitals now need to significantly alter the business side of the equation to stay afloat.
The Affordable Care Act will mean that millions of more people will now be insured and have access to greater healthcare and a better quality of life. It remains to be seen how the medical field will adapt to so many new patients arriving at once.

Cops: Mom told 15-year-old to drive car
MILFORD -- A Milford mother told the judge Friday that she just got out of the hospital and has been sick with pneumonia for weeks. Now, she's charged with risk of injury and her 15-year-old son is charged with risk of injury, reckless driving, and operating a motor vehicle without a license.
Nicole Perrelli, 39, of Pond Point Avenue, went before a judge in Milford Superior Court on Friday.
Police say Perrelli had her 15-year-old son drive her younger child to Live Oaks School around 11 a.m. Thursday. An administrator at the school saw the teen driver. Police say when the principal tried to talk to the boy, he drove off in a reckless manner.
"To know that there could be another child, you know, he's a little bit younger, he's 13, but to know there's a 15-year-old that could be driving right by me, next to me, that's a little bit scary. Yeah. Shouldn't be done," Myra Pastore of Milford told WTNH (http://bit.ly/XKyiFH).
"A little scary. You don't know what's out there on the road," said Dave Shephard of Milford.
News 8 tried to talk to Perrelli as she left court.
"Can you get away from me please," said Perrelli.
The station's reporter mapped out the drive from Perrelli's house to the school. It's 3.23 miles and should take about nine minutes for the drive.
"And then to compound that by putting another child in the car, I think that was kind of reckless on everybody's part," said Nancy Corniello of Killingworth.
Connecticut law requires that a teen be 16-years-old before they can get a learner's permit. Once they pass their test and have their license, anyone under 18 has to wait an additional six months before they can drive their siblings. It's a full year before other passengers can ride a long as well.
The state Department of Children and Family Services has been notified on the incident.

Bobbing for Texture
Celebrity hairstylist Robert Vetica (he also works with Scarlett Johannson and Salma Hayek) says the key to this kind of texture is mousse. After raking a golfball-sized amount of Kevin Murphy's Body Builder Volumizing Mousse ($25) through Cotillard's hair, he blew it out and wrapped sections around a ¾-inch curling iron, finishing with Davines' Defining Invisible Styling Cream ($22). "It maintains control, without looking too perfect or product-y," he says.

Score Julianne Hough's waves by curling sections in opposite directions--both toward and away from your face. After it's cooled, flip your head upside down and shake out the curls. Work a dime-sized amount of Oribe's Rough Luxury Soft Molding Paste ($35) through the ends.
You can pull off Ciara's deep side part at any length, but those choppy ends? Short Sexy Hair's Slept In Texture Cream ($14) is our go-to product for the roughed up look. "Use your hands as the styling tool," Vetica says.

French actress Lea Seydoux sported a sleeker look at Cannes. Use a comb to trace an uneven part pre-blowout and an oil, like Garnier's Sleek and Shine Moroccan Oil Treatment ($6), from the mid-lengths down for shine. Blow dry away from your face with a round brush.
Model Ruby Aldridge sports the gold standard of long bobs. To get her look, use your fingers to blow it dry, instead of a brush, to ensure just enough frizz. "I think SEDU's Lightweight Ionic Hair Dryer ($160) is fantastic," says Vetica. "It's very quick to dry, without being harmful to the hair." Spritz John Masters Organics' Sea Mist ($17) all over before heading out the door for that slept-in texture.
Australian actress Rachael Taylor shows off a slightly more glam take on the textured bob. Hairstylist Sophie Roberts used Kiehl's Silk Groom Cream ($18) on Taylor's rough dried, pin-curled hair "to add luminosity to the ends."

Naomi Watts chopped off her long blonde locks post-Academy Awards. Use hot rollers, like Caruso's Professional ProSet Steam Hairsetter ($49), to mimic her big, wind-swept waves.

Malloy To Offer No-Increase Budget
By CHRISTOPHER KEATING
January 25, 2011
HARTFORD Gov. Dannel P. Malloy said Tuesday that the state budget he unveils next month will fully fund state pensions and not rely on borrowing money to pay operating expenses two departures from recent years.
He also said he would steer clear of early-retirement plans, a device used in recent years to obtain short-term savings by allowing the highest-salaried and most-veteran state employees to leave public service. Those plans have been criticized for increasing long-term costs as state employees receive an incentive to retire by receiving increased pensions.
Malloy also intends to keep spending at or below this year's level in a trend of tight budgets at the state Capitol. This year's budget, for example, increased by about 1 percent far below the annual double-digit increases in the 1980s, peaking at 14.3 percent in fiscal 1988.
After numerous discussions with his budget team in recent weeks, Malloy settled on his fiscal framework over the weekend and announced it Tuesday to his commissioners at the Capitol.
The state faces a projected deficit of $3.5 billion for the fiscal year that starts in July a huge percentage of a $19 billion budget. Malloy is expected to propose both tax increases and spending cuts to balance the largest budget gap in recent state history.
In another part of his framework, Malloy said, the state will fund its pension obligations in full on an annual basis something not done in the past two years.
To accomplish his goals, Malloy will propose consolidating various state agencies, although details were not revealed Tuesday. He will present those details in an address to the legislature Feb. 16.
"I have never hidden my desire to see a fair amount of consolidation in state government,'' Malloy said. "I think this first budget that we present, as well as some of the ideas that are behind it, will make it clear that it is our intention to consolidate.''
Also Tuesday, Republican legislators released a "common sense'' agenda calling for sharp reductions in spending over the next two years, including a 10 percent cut in the salaries of all legislators and an increase in health care co-payments for legislators and their staffs. For the same period, the Republicans also called for freezing the salaries of state employees and cutting the salaries of all commissioners and deputy commissioners by 10 percent.
In addition, the Republicans proposed reducing the number of state agencies from 43 to 11, resurrecting an idea that has been repeatedly rejected by the Democratic-controlled legislature.
Malloy said several times that he had not yet seen the Republican proposals and declined to comment in detail.
When asked by a reporter if he would take a symbolic pay cut from his $150,000 salary, Malloy said he had not made any decisions on that yet.
Overall, the state budget is $19 billion in the current fiscal year, and it is expected to be $19 billion in the next fiscal year. However, in the complicated budgeting system, Malloy is proposing to cut $2 billion from the "current services'' budget, which includes inflation and built-in wage adjustments even if the state does not expand any programs.
"We will not spend more money on an operating budget basis than we spent this year,'' Malloy said.
He added that "it's fair to say'' that the budget could even decrease.
Concerning borrowing money for operating expenses, Malloy said that not only would he not propose any borrowing in his budget proposal, but he would veto any budget assembled by the legislature that does so as has been done in recent years.
Shortly before Malloy's comments Tuesday, Republicans held a news conference to call for cutting the state's workforce by 5 percent and reducing the number of managers to be more in line with private companies.
One idea their plan did not include a tax increase.
House Republican leader Lawrence Cafero and his counterpart in the state Senate, John McKinney, did not rule out raising taxes. But both leaders said the conversation about how to deal with the state's budget crisis must begin with reducing the scope and size of state government.
"We believe the level of taxes we have right now [is] certainly sufficient and, in some cases, too great,'' McKinney said.
As part of the budget deliberations, Malloy is studying the state's tax exemptions, including a wide variety of items that have been placed into state law as nontaxable.
In a budget forum at the state Capitol on Tuesday, University of Connecticut law school Professor Richard Pomp said the state could receive $400 million annually by enacting a 6 percent sales tax on food. Only about 20 states, including Connecticut, provide the exemption. In an attempt to provide tax relief for the poor, the state has enacted an across-the-board exemption on food that actually benefits affluent residents throughout the state, he said.
"You can deal with the root causes of poverty with some of that $400 million,'' Pomp said. "We think it's our sacrosanct right not to buy taxable food.''

Right-Wing Media Point Fingers At Obama For Libya, Egypt Attacks
Research ››› ››› MIKE BURNS & DAVID SHERE
Right-wing media have responded to the attacks in Libya and Egypt by pointing fingers at President Obama, saying his policies are to blame. Conservative media figures are also amplifying blame by harping on the accusation that Obama does not attend daily intelligence briefings in person; in fact, Obama receives national security briefings in other ways throughout his day.
Conservative Media Blame Obama For Attacks In Middle East
Ann Coulter: Obama's Actions "Led To Our Ambassador Being Killed" In Libya. Referring to the attacks in Egypt and Libya, conservative pundit Ann Coulter said, "The president of the United States has just done something incredibly, stupidly naïve, harmful to United States foreign policy interests. Manifestly it led to our ambassador being killed by ginning up angry Muslims protesting outside first the Cairo embassy." [Fox News, Fox & Friends, 9/13/12]
John Bolton: Violence In Libya And Egypt "In Large Measure Caused By The Weakness And Fecklessness Of The Obama Administration's Policies." Fox News contributor and Romney foreign policy adviser John Bolton claimed that the attacks were "in large measure caused by the weakness and fecklessness of the Obama administration's policies," adding, "Al Qaeda, the Muslim Brotherhood, the Salafist in Libya and Egypt have seen weakness and they have acted on it. And the administration has done nothing today to correct the impression that the weakness in our policy remains." He concluded: "We're at a very, very dangerous point and the president is not demonstrating appropriate American strength." [Fox News, On the Record with Greta Van Susteren, 9/12/12]
Rush Limbaugh: "Obama Gave Us The Arab Spring, Which Has Turned Into What Happened Yesterday." On his radio show, Rush Limbaugh accused Obama of being responsible for the attacks, saying: "Obama gave us this. Obama gave us the Arab Spring, which has turned into what happened yesterday":
LIMBAUGH: Remember, nobody cares about foreign policy. It's not a big deal in this campaign, and even if it is a big deal Obama's the clear, clear superior leader. It would just make more people vote for Obama.
He's just a whiz at foreign policy. He's made the world love us. Obama gave us this. Obama gave us the Arab Spring, which has turned into what happened yesterday. Obama praised it, sanctioned it, even tried to claim that they came about -- the Arab Spring and the Brotherhood were using the same tactics he used in his '08 campaign. He, at one time, was trying to make it sound like there was solidarity between him and these "democratic freedom fighters," the Muslim Brotherhood. [Premiere Radio Networks, The Rush Limbaugh Show, 9/12/12]
Limbaugh: Attacks Abroad Are "Happening Because We Have A Disaster As A President." On his radio show, Limbaugh claimed that attacks abroad are "happening because we have a disaster as a president":
LIMBAUGH: This is happening because we have a disaster as a president. This is happening because American foreign policy as a whole is imploding. We have somebody in charge of American foreign policy, and his secretary of state, Mrs. Clinton, who have a politically correct, conflict resolution, United States is always at fault worldview. That is how you get Obama apologizing all over the world shortly after he takes office. That is why Obama bows to all these foreign leaders. [Premiere Radio Networks, The Rush Limbaugh Show, 9/13/12]
Ralph Peters: Middle East Violence "An Inevitable Result Of Weakness, Of Our President's Non-Policy, Non-Strategy." Fox News strategic analyst Ralph Peters claimed that the violence in the Middle East was "an inevitable result of weakness, of our president's non-policy, non-strategy." He added that Obama's "approach to the Middle East has been characterized by naiveté and the belief that by apologizing over and over again for America" and "pursuing appeasement" is "tragic." [Fox News, Fox & Friends, 9/13/12]
Conservative Report: Obama Rarely Attends Daily Intelligence Briefings
Conservative Report: Obama Has Attended 43.8 Percent Of Daily Security Briefings. A report by the conservative group Government Accountability Institute examining official White House records found that from his inauguration through May 31, 2012, Obama attended 536 total daily intelligence briefings, or 43.8 percent of the 1225 days in that period. [Government Accountability Institute, 9/11/12]
Wash. Post's Marc Thiessen: "Why Is Obama Skipping More Than Half Of His Daily Intelligence Meetings?" In his Washington Post column, former George W. Bush speechwriter Marc Thiessen touted the findings from GAI, a "new conservative investigative research organization," to suggest that "national security has not necessarily been the personal priority the president makes it out to be," adding, "It turns out that more than half the time, the commander in chief does not attend his daily intelligence meeting." He concluded: "When Obama forgoes this daily intelligence meeting, he is consciously placing other priorities ahead of national security." [The Washington Post, 9/10/12]
Right-Wing Media Attack Obama Over Daily Intelligence Briefings
Breitbart.com: "No Record Of Intel Briefings For Obama Week Before Embassy Attacks." In a September 12 Breitbart.com post headlined "No Record Of Intel Briefings For Obama Week Before Embassy Attacks," contributor Wynton Hall wrote that "[a]ccording to the White House calendar, there is no public record of President Barack Obama attending his daily intelligence briefing -- known as the Presidential Daily Brief (PDB) -- in the week leading up to the attacks on the U.S. embassy in Cairo and the murder of U.S. Libyan Ambassador Chris Stevens and three American members of his staff." The post continued:
The last time prior to the slayings that the White House calendar publicly confirms Mr. Obama attending his daily intelligence briefing was September 5th. (The White House did not provide an official public calendar for September 8-10.) Mr. Obama and Vice President Joe Biden met with Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta at 5:00 p.m. yesterday.
The White House responded by claiming that President Obama reads daily intelligence reports, even if he does not attend the briefings personally. [Breitbart.com, 9/12/12]
Erick Erickson: "How Is It Possible For A President Of The United States To Skip These Briefings?!" In a September 12 post on his RedState.com blog, CNN contributor Erick Erickson wrote, "As North African blows up this morning it is worth reminding you of Marc Thiessen's column from two days ago." He then posted a short excerpt of Thiessen's column and added:
Forget North Africa for a minute. With the Israel -- Iran situation blowing up, how is it possible for a President of the United States to skip these briefings?! Add back in North Africa and it is even more damaging. [RedState.com, 9/12/12]
Fox Nation: "Obama Skipped Intel Briefings Before Embassy Attack." A September 12 Fox Nation post linked to a Newsmax article under the headline "Obama Skipped Intel Briefings Before Embassy Attack." The Newsmax article, headlined "Obama Didn't Attend Daily Intelligence Briefing Ahead of Embassy Attacks," cited Breitbart.com's report. [Fox Nation, 9/12/12]
NewsBusters: "Has An Empty Chair Been Getting 56.2 Percent Of The President's Intelligence Briefings?" In a post calling on the media to "scrutinize just how infrequently President Obama sits in on his daily intelligence briefings," NewsBusters.org managing editor Ken Sheperd wrote:
Has an empty chair been getting 56.2 percent of the president's intelligence briefings?
In light of the news that fatal attacks on U.S. diplomats in Benghazi, Libya, may well have been pre-planned by al Qaeda operatives, it would behoove the media to scrutinize just how infrequently President Obama sits in on his daily intelligence briefings. As Marc Thiessen noted in an op-ed in Sunday, September 10 edition of the Washington Post, President Obama sat in on his Presidential Daily Brief (PDB) a mere 536 times out of his first 1,225 days in office. That's a mere 43.8 percent of the time. "By contrast, Obama's predecessor, George W. Bush almost never missed his daily intelligence meeting," the American Enterprise Institute fellow noted.
When Obama ran for the presidency, he was ridiculed by conservatives for, among other things, his for penchant for voting "present" as a state and federal legislator. Now the criticism of President Obama might more appropriately be that he's voting "absent." [NewsBusters, 9/12/12]
In Fact, Obama Still Receives Daily Intelligence Briefings And Has Regular Meetings On National Security
White House: "The President Of The United States Gets The Presidential Daily Briefing Every Day." As The Hill reported, White House press secretary Jay Carney responded to questions about Thiessen's column by saying:
"He gets it every day, okay?" Carney said. "The president of the United States gets the presidential daily briefing every day. There is a document that he reads every day when he is not -- well, he always reads it every day because he's a voracious consumer of all of his briefing materials. And when he is physically here, most days he has a meeting in his office, the Oval one, with participants in his national security team."
Asked if there was a distinction between the written briefing and sitting in on the daily meetings, Carney defended the president's record on national security.
"I believe if you compare our foreign policy record with the one that preceded this one, we're comfortable with that comparison," Carney said. "And this president is very much steeped in the details of national security issues and the information that as president he received." [The Hill, 9/11/12]
NSC Spokesman: Obama "Has Frequent National Security Meetings Beyond The Daily Briefing." Politico reported that the White House disputed the report that Obama rarely attends daily intelligence briefings:
"The President is among the most sophisticated consumers of intelligence on the planet," National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor wrote in an e-mail. "He receives and reads his [Presidential Daily Brief] every day, and most days when he's at the White House receives a briefing in person. When necessary he probes the arguments, requests more information or seeks alternate analysis. Sometimes that's via a written assessment and other times it's in person."
The president also has frequent national security meetings beyond the daily briefing, and would also be briefed on the latest intelligence before meeting with a foreign leader, for example.
"Marc basically wrote a story culled from our public schedule that shows how Marc's old boss, President Bush, structured his day differently than President Obama," Vietor wrote. "Not exactly breaking news to anyone who has covered this place for the last few years." [Politico, 9/10/12]
Wash. Post's Jonathan Capehart: "Thiessen's Intelligence Question Misses The Point." In a post responding to Thiessen's column titled, "Thiessen's intelligence question misses the point," columnist Jonathan Capehart wrote that "insistence on face-to-face gatherings ignores two important facts. First, different presidents take in information in different ways. Second, the information being imparted is useless if the long series of dots are not connected." Capehart added:
Lauding the previous occupant of the Oval Office, Thiessen wrote, "By contrast, Obama's predecessor, George W. Bush almost never missed his daily intelligence meeting." Given the attacks of Sept. 11 and the misguided war in Iraq that followed, this is a meaningless assertion. Meanwhile, the man Thiessen basically brands a national-security slacker somehow was able to give the order that took out bin Laden. What a president knows is important. What he does with that knowledge is essential to the safety and security of the nation. [The Washington Post, 9/11/12]

The Community Needs Committee of the First United Methodist Church of Germantown (FUMCOG) is again seeking to fund proposals from nonprofit groups in the community.
All proposals are welcome and are reviewed by a committee of church members. Selection criteria in awarding grants include the size of the population to be served, the nature of the services provided and expected benefits to the community. Individuals or groups with projects that promote social justice or community improvement, especially in the Northwest Philadelphia area, are encouraged to apply.
Funds from special offerings contributed by the congregation at Easter will be divided among the selected applicants. FUMCOG expects to award several small grants of several hundred to a few thousand dollars to help facilitate worthy community endeavors.
Grants from previous Easter and Christmas collections have been awarded on a nondenominational basis to a diverse group of applicants for a wide variety of causes. Monies from the recent Christmas collection were used to extend services to homeless disabled men in Germantown, assist a soup kitchen, help start a community diabetes support group and sustain an anti-gun violence program.
Application forms can be obtained by calling the office of First United Methodist Church of Germantown at 215-438-3677, or downloading a form online at www.FUMCOG.org.
For consideration, completed proposals must be returned to the church office at 6001 Germantown Ave. no later than Friday, March 8. A copy of the applicant's 501(c)(3) certification should be included with the application. Recipients will be notified of their selection by Dec. 10.

Moss Christine needed a new other design and created a contest on 99designs.
2 winners were selected from 32 designs submitted by 10 freelance designers.
Spiritually Single Wives - For Christian Women Who Share Everything With Their Husbands, Except Their Faith
I am a Christian wife who has been married for nearly 16 years to a wonderful Jewish man. Can I live in freedom, grow in faith, serve God and bless my husband? My answer? YOU BET!
My book will appeal to Christian women married to men who don't share the same beliefs. Many are married to professional men and have resources in abundance. They have their choice of any book on the shelf. I need a cover that makes them choose mine!
Because the subject matter is sensitive, the goal of the cover is to make it fun and light-hearted (and less threatening) by using an illustration. The title of the book should be in the top third of the cover, the illustration in the middle third and the tag line and author's name in the bottom third. Because the book should appeal to females, the use of feminine colors (pinks, purples, greens) is preferred, but not required. The lettering should pop from the background in either gold, yellow or white.The finished front cover will be 5.5" wide x 8.5 high.
My vision:
The use of a caricature (or avatar) of a couple, wife sitting on the lap of the husband, with the wife winking and the husband's thumb up.
An illustration of a man watching from the couch as his wife and kids leave for church (CAN"T be a downer).

Federal transportation officials began their investigation today to determine what caused two commuter trains to crash head-on in Connecticut during the Friday rush hour.
At least 70 people were injured Friday when a Metro-North train derailed and barreled straight into the path of another train headed in its direction just outside Bridgeport, Conn.
Investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board arrived at the scene this morning to begin surveying the twisted rail cars that remained on the tracks.
"We'll be looking at how the crew behaved and how the crew operated the train," NTSB member Earl Weener said.
During the investigation, which is expected to last seven to 10 days, officials will also examine the braking performance of the trains and the conditions of the wheels, cars and track to see if they played a role in the crash, Weener said.
Gov. Dannel Malloy said three people remained in critical condition today, while five others also remained hospitalized for their injuries. Many of the injured suffered bruises, cuts and minor fractures and were able to be treated and released, according to officials at two area hospitals.
A Metro-North train was traveling east from New York City's Grand Central Station to New Haven, Conn., when it derailed at 6:10 p.m., Weener said.
The jolt of the impact was so strong, passengers said it caused bodies to be flung around the cars.
"All I know was I was in the air, hitting seats, bouncing around, flying down the aisle and finally I came to a stop on one seat," Lola Oliver, 49, of Bridgeport, told The Associated Press. "It happened so fast I had no idea what was going on. All I know is we crashed."
Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., was among the elected officials who surveyed the damage and called the scene "absolutely staggering."
He said the injuries could have been much worse and lauded the investment in infrastructure for saving lives.
"Investment in quality of transportation is probably one of the lessons we will learn from this accident," he said.
While the wreckage remains on the tracks, transportation in the Northeast Corridor is expected to be crippled.
Two of the tracks on the line were already out of service for a project, and the remaining two open tracks the trains were damaged in the collision, according to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, which operates the Metro-North Railroad.
Amtrak's service between New York City and Boston, which operates on the tracks where the accident occurred, was also suspended indefinitely.
Commuting could be a challenge on Monday for those around Bridgeport who rely on Metro-North to get to and from work in New York City.
Malloy said a system was being set up to move people from Bridgeport to nearby train stations.
"This is going to be with us for a number of days," he said.

Senior Advisor, Amsterdam
At BCG, Visionaries navigate complexity with ease. They use their insight and intuition to identify the solutions that will create lasting impact. Jan Willem connects the dots to see the bigger picture.
BCG offers a unique opportunity for unparalleled and continuous learning and having an impact in the field where your passion lies.
When I started working at BCG in 1998, I never expected this to be the start of such a fascinating journey. I started as a consultant focused on insurance and soon also touched upon health insurance. This domain captured my interest and led me to develop my own course by doing more in this field and expanding my area of focus to the system-side and provider-side of health care (especially hospitals). As a result, I was given the opportunity to see our health care system from various perspectives and get a better view of how it all is interlinked. That knowledge is crucial to reach impact through the work that we do. And over the years, we have built a practice that I believe is leading edge.
Of course, this was not a one-person action but the result of true teaming (as most good things are in life). One key part of teaming has been local: by working with colleagues in projects, we jointly created new insights, had impact, and as a result gained more trust in the sector on the value we could bring. The other key part of teaming is international: BCG is a true thought leader in health care and has a wealth of insights from across the globe. What is great about BCG is that international colleagues are always ready to help to take things further.
Jan Willem is a senior partner and is part of the global leadership teams for the Insurance and Health Care (payers and providers) practices. He holds a master's degree in econometrics from Erasmus University.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: The freedom to make it what I want it to be.
Q: How has BCG helped you grow and succeed?
A: By always giving me the opportunity to try. And when I failed, to help me try again
Q: What characteristics do you believe define a BCGer?
A: Great minds but with their feet solidly at the ground
