Eibach Pro System Plus Customer Reviews
Overall Rating:4.5 of 5
Average Install Time: 2+ Hours
The improvement in handling is impressive. The dive and squat is greatly reduced, and the cornering grip is excellent. The down side is the choppy ride on the freeway. This is a great set up for performance driving but may not be the best for a daily driver unless you are willing to except a choppy ride for improved cornering.
Install Time: 2+ Hours
I'm not a mechanic and don't claim to be. But I can drive. And when I took a curve near my house doing 75. And the best i could do before I had it installed was 60. And the limit is 45. Ya performance is there.

There's that 'I' word again
Just over the last few days, we've seen prominent GOP voices talking up birth certificates and "death panels." OK, congressional Republicans, anything else on your mind? Sure there is – Rep. Blake Farenthold (R-Tex.) wants to talk about impeachment.
Even by the standards of the House GOP, this one's a doozy.
"I think unfortunately the House is already out of the barn on this, on the whole birth certificate issue," he said. "The original Congress, when his eligibility came up, should have looked into it and they didn't. I'm not sure how we fix it."
Farenthold posed his own hypothetical solution: "If we were to impeach the president tomorrow, you could probably get the votes in the House of Representatives to do it. But it would go to the Senate and he wouldn't be convicted."
Looking back a bit, a variety of voices on the right raised the specter of impeaching President Obama over all sorts of things – immigration policy, czars, recess appointments, DOMA, Benghazi, legislative gridlock, Syria, and job offers, among other things. In the spring, congressional Republicans went a little further, talking up the possibility of impeaching the president over executive orders that don't exist, gun control, and even budget deficits.
But my favorite thing about Blake Farenthold is that he doesn't bother coming up with a pretense for why he wants to impeach the president; he just seems to like the idea in general. Ordinarily, even the most ridiculous members of Congress try to come up with something to serve as grounds for impeachment, but Farenthold can't be bothered – he supports impeachment; he thinks the House would vote for impeachment; and the Texas Republican is confident he knows what he's talking about because grumble, birth certificate, grumble.
Hey, Reince, how's that Republican rebranding campaign going?

The background story
The history of Umicore goes back more than 200 years. It all started with the coming together of a number of mining and smelting companies, which gradually evolved into the materials technology and recycling company Umicore is today.
Where it all began
On 17 December 1805, Napoleon Bonaparte granted Jean Dony control of the Vieille-Montagne mine in Moresnet, on what is today the border between Belgium and Germany.
Where it all began
It marked the beginning of what became in 1837 the 'Société Anonyme des Mines et Fonderies de Zinc de la Vieille-Montagne', the oldest predecessor of the eventual Umicore company.
Crossing borders
The story of another Umicore tendril, Union Minière, commenced in 1906. Union Minière du Haut Katanga (UMHK), as it was known at the time, produced copper and other metals in the Congo.
Crossing borders
After the Zairian government nationalised the company's assets in 1968, UMHK set out to develop new mining and refining activities, eventually becoming a sub-holding of Société Générale de Belgique.
The pieces of the puzzle
The merger in 1989 of Union Minière with its subsidiaries (Metallurgie Hoboken-Overpelt, Vieille-Montagne and Mechim) transformed Union Minière into an integrated industrial group.
The pieces of the puzzle
Union Minière increasingly positioned itself as a specialty materials company throughout the late 1990s. Having already sold its remaining mining and other non-strategic assets, its focus was now on precious metals, high-margin zinc products and advanced materials.
The pieces of the puzzle
To symbolise this trend of moving away from mining and the production of commodities and base metals, the Group changed its name to Umicore in 2001. The first two letters of the name are the initials of Union Minière, referring to the Group's historical roots.
A defining decade
The acquisition of PMG in 2003 added a new dimension to the company, including a major presence in the automotive catalyst sector. PMG was in fact the former precious metals unit of the German Degussa group – the very company that, in 1887, had been a founding shareholder of Umicore's Hoboken plant.
A defining decade
In 2005 Umicore spun off its copper business into a separate company called Cumerio, and two years later combined its zinc refining & alloys business with that of Zinifex, uniting them into a new company under the name of Nyrstar.
The Group generated revenues (excluding metal) of € 3.4 billion (turnover of € 17.5 billion) in 2019 and currently employs 11,152 people.

A Republican official in North Carolina has resigned his post just a day after "The Daily Show" aired an interview with him making racially charged remarks.
Buncombe County, N.C. GOP precinct chairman Don Yelton referred to "lazy blacks that wants the government to give them everything" and complained that blacks could use the N-word — he said the word itself — but not whites.
He also said he's had a caricature of President Barack Obama dressed as a "witch doctor" sitting on a stump, but that the drawing made fun of the president's "white half, not his black half."
U.S. & World
Yelton's remarks came amid his defense of his state's restrictive new voter ID law — which the Justice Department is challenging, saying it discriminates against minorities — in an interview with the show's correspondent Aasif Mandvi.
The show's segment looked at the fallout from the Supreme Court's decision to strike down a key provision in the 1965 Voting Rights Act. Since the June ruling, several states, including North Carolina, have introduced new voting laws.
The interview with Yelton aired on Wednesday, and the Republican resigned Thursday, even as he refused to apologize for his comments.
"There's nothing I said that I would take back. So be it," Yelton said in an interview with the Asheville, N.C., Citizen-Times.
Buncombe County GOP Chairman Henry Mitchell said in a statement that Yelton's commentss were "completely inappropriate and highly offensive."
"Let me make it very clear, Mr. Yelton's comments do not reflect the belief or feelings of Buncombe Republicans, nor do they mirror any core principle that our party is founded upon," Mitchell wrote. "This mentality will not be supported or propagated within our party."
Yelton told the Citizen-Times that his words were edited from a two-hour discussion and that the quotes were "cut and pasted" together by the show he said he knew leaned to the political left.
"I knew going in what was going to happen, and nothing happened that I was surprised at," Yelton said. "If you and I disagree and we never communicate, are we ever going to accomplish anything?"
During the portions of the interview that aired, Mandvi looks at the camera as Yelton is about to finish a sentence, in which he says, "One of my best friends is ... black."
That is followed by a montage of racially charged quotes from Yelton and concludes with Mandvi asking, "You know that we can hear you, right?"
"Yes," Yelton answers with a smile.

Yelton afterward told the Citizen-Times said he does not regret using the N-word on the show because he was making a larger point.
"I said, 'A (N-word) can call a (N-word) a (N-word) and that's no problem, and that's racist,'" Yelton said. "That's the most racist thing you can imagine."
Mitchell also said that Yelton had previously been reprimanded and removed from his position last year, before being reelected by two votes, his own and his wife's.

There are more than two things, but two things are enough.
For once I am not bitching and moaning about my team mates, no I am bitching and moaning about Wintergrasp mechanics and WoW.
- The picture above tells the story of my issue with WoW… I'll come back to it, but meanwhile keep an eye on that picture.
- Wintergrasp group mechanics.
- Ok, quick check. Noticed any change in the picture? No, it's OK, we will come back to it.
- Wintergrasp can handle two three 40 man raids worth of bodies – 80 of them for those of you as mathematically challenged as I normally am.
Entering as group
If you make the mistake of entering the WG battle while in a group, that is your group. You are not in either of the 40 man raid groups.
You do not:
- Get raid buffs
- Appear in healing frames
- Share in the kills etc.
To get into the raid group, you need to first drop your current group then either:
a) Plead for a raid leader to invite you -which probably won't happen because they are kind of busy.
b) Leave the zone (easiest to hearth to Dalaran) and re-queue hoping that someone hasn't taken your position in WG… Which probably won't happen.
Entering solo
- Ok, quick check. Noticed any change in the picture? No, it's OK, we will come back to it.
If you remember to drop group, you will enter WG as a member of one of the two three 40 man raids. Of course they may not be 40 man raid groups, because there will be some that have entered (intentionally or not) as their own group.
The good news is:
- You do get raid buffs
- You do appear in healing frames
- You do share in the kills etc.
At 1st this might make sense and not seem a problem. It is a problem though if you are doing the right thing with the wrong people.
Let me clarify this.
I've mentioned before that an important part of defending Wintergrasp is destroying towers (as is defending them when on offense).
If you, like me, realize this and head south immediately when the battle begins, you will miss out on any of the HK etc at the keep. The ones that take you through Corporal and Lieutenant, giving you access to the siege engines (and 2 or 3 WG marks).
You may be excited at 1st to see lots of friendly bodies around the workshops killing unfriendly bodies.
Bring on the HKs!
Or not!
I have spent entire WG battles fighting side by side with my allies, destroying the Horde, destroying the towers.
Yet, not one honor kill for me!
You see these excellent allies weren't in my raid group.
- So no HKs
- So no Lieutenant
- So no Corporal
- So only one WG Mark and less honor at the end of the battle
It's worse if you stay as your own group, or as an individual… Then you only get your HKs.
A solution?
The solution is simple… Ignore raid rules for HK sharing in Wintergrasp. If we are there, we are allowed to be there (otherwise you get ported to Icecrown), so give us the rewards. Come on Blizz, you know you want to!
Moving Pictures
- Noticed any change in the picture?
Ok, now I want you to think of that picture as a frapps'd version of me jumping from the WG graveyard. I've got slow fall on, so it's a slow jump… might take a little while.. about 20 seconds give or take a few…
See any movement yet?
Of course not!
It's a screenshot!
The thing is, if I was frappsing that jump it would look the same.
I have this problem a lot in WG. More often than not as I leave the graveyard. I don't know why… I'd like it to stop… If it won't stop then I'd like the next thing fixed.
I have to log!
Actually, I probably don't need to log, I probably just need to wait 5 minutes for the server to tell the client I have DC'd.
Of course by then, WG will be over and I will get diddlysquat for my 20 minutes.
I have to log!
You know when you DC in an instance, or a raid, even in a battleground, quickly scramble for you authenticator (you do have one don't you?) log back in and…
Everything is OK!
When you do this in WG, things aren't OK… You left the battle, your place has been given to someone else.
You are now locked out of the battle.
- You no take honor!
- You no take marks!
Bye, bye 20 minutes of your life!
Blizzard, please fix this, please reserve my spot in WG like you do elsewhere.
I'm almost as sneaky as a rogue…
I can work around this… Kinda… Sort off.
I dare say this is an exploit, but screw you, I just want what I deserve for all my efforts.
When you get booted… err ported… out of WG, you get ported to Icecrown, just behind the fortress.
Because you are outside WG, you can use your flying mount and return.
One of two things will happen:
- You will be invited to join because some other sucker just DC'd, or
- You will get ported back out again.
What you can do is fly right to the border of WG and Icecrown and do quick flybys into WG territory.
If you get a warning rather than an invite, quickly turn around and fly to Icecrown.
Continue to do this until either:
- You get an invite, or
- There are 10-15 seconds on the WG clock.
Either way you will be there for the end of the battle.
The battle in which that screenshot was taken, I had already reached Lieutenant before DC'ing. I maintained that rank each time I tried to ninja enter WG – Blizzard knew I should be there, but slammed the door in my face.
On my last ninja entry, the battle ended, we won (of course). I was given full credit based on my rank for the battle, plus….
If you can't fix it… Ninja it!
Gnomer and Out!

Crude Explodes Over $102 per Barrel
Wall Street may have been closed for the 4th of July, but news flowing out of Egypt set off fireworks in the oil markets. Recent political unrest in Egypt led to the ousting of Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi. Morsi was overthrown as a result of widespread criticism across Egypt that he was not sharing power and only representing the interests of his political backers, the Muslim Brotherhood. This helped catapult oil over the $100 mark on fears that turmoil in Egypt could interrupt crude oil shipments through the Suez Canal and disrupt neighboring countries like Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and Libya.
While Egypt only accounts for less than 1% of global oil production, nearly 2 million barrels of other nations' oil are shipped through the Egyptian Suez Canal per day which makes the canal a crucial point to the international crude oil markets.
Crude oil also rallied on news that U.S. oil stockpiles were much lower than expected following Wednesday's Energy Stocks Report, which stated that oil inventory stocks were down 10.3 million barrels from the previous week.
In addition, crude oil prices increased into the 4th of July weekend in anticipation of typical high seasonal demand for gasoline. West Texas oil for August delivery traded at $102.60 per barrel in the mid-morning hours on Friday, up over $6.00 (+6.3%) from the previous week.
The Euro Falls
The euro currency continued to fall this week on news that the European Central Bank (ECB) will keep its key interest rate at 0.5%, which is at record low levels and down from 1.5% in October 2011. As a result of this decision, the U.S. dollar had a great Fourth of July as it strengthened against the euro. As the US dollar went up, the euro lost nearly two cents in value, falling to $1.28, the lowest price in nearly two months.
No Boom in the Grain Trade
The grain markets continued adjusting to last week's USDA report which revealed planted corn acreage of 97.38 million acres, much more than expected. During this week, December corn lost another 15 cents per bushel (-2.9%), crumbling to a two-year low at $4.96 per bushel. Production will now depend on the critical July and August weather.

This blog features observations from Randy Turner, a former teacher, newspaper reporter and editor. Send news items or comments to email@example.com
Monday, April 04, 2005
The quality of local radio stations has been discussed for the past few months on the board, and lately a few posters reminisced about radio the way it used to be.
And radio in the 1960s in this area was WHB (World's Happiest Broadcasters) 71 on your dial out of Kansas City. The top disc jockey for years was Johnny Dolan (Rollin' with Dolan), who normally worked the afternoon shift, but seemed to fill in just about any time day or night. I remember in 1973, Dolan selected the first East Newton High School yearbook queen, though I can't actually remember who it was. It may have been Ginger Knight, if memory serves. (For those of you looking for hard news, don't worry, I'll get to it eventually.)
For about a four or five-year period in the mid to late 1960s, my older sister, Vicki, and I would write down the 40-Star Survey when they played the top 40 songs in Kansas City every Friday afternoon. I remember when "Twist and Shout" by the Beatles stunned eveyrone by entering the survey at number five and when the Beatles had the top five songs in K. C. at one point in early 1964. I wish I still had a copy of those surveys.
Another memorable WHB personality was Phil Jay with his "Uncle Phil's Filthy Files." Phil Jay got his radio start as a disc jockey at KQYX in Joplin.
I can also remember Jeff Roberts and Rock Robbins. Both Phil Jay and Jeff Roberts returned to the station when it tried to return to its roots and cash in on the oldies craze in the 1980s.
It was WHB in the daytime and when the signal faded, we would turn our radios to 89 WLS in Chicago and listen to Larry Lujack or WOAI in San Antonio.
Good memories.

WOW! I clearly remember the Johnny Dolan days and the "World's Happiest Broadcasters" aka WHB. Now tell me this, do you remember "chicken man?" Those were great times. I would try and record some of the music with my tape player, reel-to-reel. Transistor radios were $20.00 for a good one.
- Randy said...
I definitely remember Chicken Man. "he's everywhere, he's everywhere." If I recall, his secret identity was Benton Harbor and his mother, Mildred Harbor, also fought crime as the Masked Mother. I remember one episode where he met the spiritual leader the High Fernando Lama. They certainly don't write them like that any more.
- Unknown said...
As a northwest MO native, I grew up listening to WHB and was delighted that I could still tune the station after my family moved me south.
My own years spent in broadcasting probably owed much inspiration to the old days at WHB.
Last time I headed "home" and tuned in the station, it had gone to all talk radio. A sad day!
That great jingle from the late '60's still rings in my head... "W-*sound of something like a ruler smacking a hand*-H-B Dial Seventy Whuuuun!"
I remember Johnny Dolan, too. Was a great time listening to WHB,and it has so much influence over other rockers (KLIF, WABC).
I still have some bootleg copies of Chicken Man. Wish I could write that well.
Yours truly WHB, Kansas City, Missouri! A flashback to my long-ago youth.
Another commercial I remember was for Kansas City (International?) Raceway. Something like this:
SUNDAY! (Echo - Sunday) At Kansas City International Raceway! And then the commercial would explain the upcoming event, sometimes with car noises in the background. That was the era of 25 to 30 cent a gallon gasoline. That time seems forever ago now.
I now live in Texas , but I will always treasure my memories of growing up with Johnny Dolan , Phil Jay , J. WAlter Beethoven and yes of course Our fine-feathered hero , Chicken Man and Ms.Helfinger ! I've learned that Phil Jay has a mobile DJ business , but does anyone out there know the status of Johnny Dolan(aka...Johnny Dollar) and/or Jay Walter ?

National Press Club Washington, DC
Originally Broadcast Live on Wednesday, May 9, 2001
On Wednesday, May 9th, over twenty military, intelligence, government, corporate and scientific witnesses came forward at the National Press Club in Washington, DC to establish the reality of UFOs or extraterrestrial vehicles, extraterrestrial life forms, and resulting advanced energy and propulsion technologies. The weight of this first-hand testimony, along with supporting government documentation and other evidence, will establish without any doubt the reality of these phenomena, according to Dr. Steven M. Greer, director of the Disclosure Project which hosted the event. (115 mins video clip)

Visual Studio 11: The Early Release
Despite some harsh words about Visual Studio 11's UI, I'm finding that it makes my heart go pitter-pat every time I use it. Why? Because this early release is finally incorporating a decent set of long-awaited C++11 features. In this article, I'll show you how a little thing like a lambda can make a big difference in your coding style.
Microsoft and C++ — We Have History
Microsoft has a cyclic relationship with C++. In the early MFC days, the love was there big time — you had access to most of the system API using C++. However, around the turn of the millennium, Microsoft came under the Rasputin-like influence of Anders Hejlsberg and his beloved offspring, C#. Now it appears that maybe the pendulum is swinging back a bit, and C++ is no longer viewed as an afterthought. Great news.
Although Visual Studio 11 is a developer's preview, Microsoft is saying that it is production ready — you can use this to create programs that are ready for release. In addition to touting a complete implementation of the C++11 standard library, an impressive list of language features have been turned on as well. (N.B. the path ahead is still long and arduous.)
Modern C++
Before even using Visual Studio C++ 11 to test a single line of code, I really appreciated reading Welcome Back to C++ (Modern C++), a manifesto that includes the following bullet points:
Modern C++ emphasizes:
std::string and
std::wstring types instead of raw
char[] arrays.
list, and
map — instead of raw arrays or custom containers.
I believe all of these changes result in safer code that is easier to read and maintain, without giving up the type-safety and efficiency that we love so much. Fully implementing these features either leans heavily on C++11 or requires it outright.
A Simple Example Using Naive C++98
It's interesting to watch the evolution of code from C++98 to C++11 and see how it affects your code. You'll find that the transformation can make it look like you are literally using a new programming language.
In this simple program, I'm taking a Scrabble rack of tiles and whipping through the Scrabble dictionary to find matches. Since it is a one-time call, I'm not storing the words, just doing a quick online comparison. In C++98, my code might have looked like this:
void find_matches( std::string rack, const std::string &filename ) { std::sort( rack.begin(), rack.end() ); std::ifstream sowpods( filename.c_str() ); std::string word; while ( sowpods >> word ) { std::string sorted = word; std::sort( sorted.begin(), sorted.end() ); if ( sorted == rack ) std::cout << word << " "; } } int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { find_matches( "etaionsr", "sowpods.txt" ); return 0; }
This works properly and I get what looks like correct output:
anoestri arsonite notaries notarise rosinate senorita
Classes Good, Templates Better
As people started to get more comfortable with templates and iterators, algorithms like this were commonly rewritten to take a range of iterators as input — much as the standard library algorithm functions do. This meant changing the function to a template function, but it did make it a lot more flexible. I could now call the function to operate on data from a file, just as before, but I can also now use any other container, or even an array, as input:
template<typename ITERATOR> void find_matches( std::string rack, ITERATOR ii, ITERATOR jj ) { std::sort( rack.begin(), rack.end() ); for ( ; ii != jj ; ii++ ) { std::string sorted = *ii; std::sort( sorted.begin(), sorted.end() ); if ( sorted == rack ) std::cout << *ii << " "; } } int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { std::ifstream sowpods( "sowpods.txt" ); find_matches( "etaionsr", std::istream_iterator<std::string>( sowpods ), std::istream_iterator<std::string>() ); return 0; }
More or less the same number of lines of code, but it is now generic.

Who doesn't love having a picnic? When the sun is out it's all I want to do! For some reason food eaten outdoors seems to taste better so whenever the opportunity arises we pack up some food, grab our blanket and head for a picnic. It doesn't matter if it's a grassy park, on the side of a river or on a sandy beach, it's all about being outside and enjoying some delicious food while soaking up the sun's rays!
When packing a picnic you need food that is portable so I love lots of different types of picky food! Transporting the food in one piece is key and with the help of GLAD products it is effortless.
Some of my favourite foods to make for a picnic include Chicken Drumsticks which we barbecue ahead of time and slather with our favourite BBQ Sauce. Served with some homemade Coleslaw it makes a fantastic picnic treat that everyone loves.
I absolutely love GLAD Lunch To Go Containers which have a separate little dressing cup attached inside to the lid for your salad dressing! No more soggy salads as you simply dress your salad as you are about to eat it. Genius! You could also use them for veges and dip which I always grab for a picnic. It takes moments to prepare, is healthy, delicious and again every loves it. Or how about making some homemade Hummus and popping some good quality extra virgin olive oil in the dressing cup to drizzle over the hummus at the last minute… Or if you are a chilli addict like me fill the little cup with some of your favourite hot sauce, such as Sriracha and then you can add a spicy kick to your dips. Yum!
For something sweet and refreshing I can never resist wedges of Watermelon and fresh Strawberries which I again just pop into a GLAD container. I pack a Snack bag for any Strawberry Husks to be thrown into which makes for easy clean up and don't forget the wet wipes for sticky hands which I pop into Medium Storage Bags.
Snack bags are also great for individual snacks for any young family members. I pack raisins, crackers and even baby biscuits in them for a quick and easy bite to eat.
Of course if your picnic is a last minute adventure then there is nothing wrong with making up some quick and easy sandwiches with everyone's favourite fillings, and if you are really stuck for time stop at your local supermarket or grocery store on your way and grab some of your families favourite foods.
So what are you waiting for?! The next time the sun is shining and you have a day off, pack up some of your favourite foods or head to your local deli, pop it all in a cooler or hamper and find a nice spot for you to enjoy. It's what sunny days are made for and with GLAD products it's easy!
Here are a few more of my favourite Picnic foods:
{Easy to make and great for anyone unable to eat Gluten.}
{Such a treat and make for an ultimate picnic! Just don't forget the ketchup!}
{The ULTIMATE picnic sandwich!}
{For an extra special treat!}
{Who doesn't love a good Pasta Salad!? If needing to be Gluten Free substitute the Pasta for a GF alternative – my fave is Corn Pasta.}
{Kicking things up a notch and making this an extra special picnic!}
{If you want to surprise children why not try Beetroot Hummus or Carrot Hummus for some fantastic all natural colourful food!}
A selection of Cheese, Hams and Cold Meats
{Transports well and doesn't need to stay chilled. Simply wrap in Cling Wrap.}
Happy Picnicking!!

The funeral services for long time and respected educator Marguerite Poindexter LaMotte has been held and the Los Angeles Unified School District Board will reconvene for a special meeting on Jan. 7 to vote on whether an appointment, special election or both would be held to determine who and how her seat should be filled on the board.
While the Black community is clearly divided on which process is best, few will argue that not having any representation for the tens of thousands of students in District 1 immediately would be catastrophic.
On December 17th LAUSD Board met to discuss replacement options, but was met by LaMotte supporters who protested that any decision be made until after her burial and the board voted in favor of postponing the vote.
During the meeting LAUSD Board member Monica Garcia urged board members to make a decision and said that, "by doing nothing we are doing something." Garcia contended that District 1 students should not go without being represented.
"I am absolutely certain that seat should not be vacant for six to eight months or how ever long an election takes and there be no representation for the constituents in District 1. It's imperative that seat be filled with an appointment, said community and education advocate Larry Aubrey. I think that appointment should be Dr. George McKenna."
Which is precisely why two members of congress including Rep. Maxine Waters and Rep. Karen Bass and a powerful contingent of community coalitions are adamant in their support of polished long time educator Dr. George McKenna' appointment to the board immediately.
McKenna, supporters argue, would continue to carry out the wishes of LaMotte while being the best advocate for addressing the needs and concerns of students and parents in District 1.
LaMotte was the lone African American on the board and the long ties she shared with McKenna from their days at Washington Prep are indicative of a shared community commitment to the students and parents of District 1.
McKenna would provide students of the district an immediate voice on the board until LaMotte's term expires in 2015 or until a special election can be held.
Many contend that a special election would be detrimental in two aspects: preventing District 1 from having representation and costing taxpayers millions to hold a special election for a replacement.
"Most of the people on the other side are big money people. In this particular case an election is not beneficial to the community. I am for elections, but in this particular situation it would be criminal to the constituents of the district to not have continued representation," stated Aubrey.
The LAUSD is already in a power struggle over resources that could hamper the district for the next 20 years if not more.

I suggest you to add a blog and write about topics related to chat and social netrworking. You can also write about other social media websites like facebook, twitter and latest trends.
When I search for your website on google, only 3 pages (home page, team and features) are indexed and 3 pages are too few to rank (almost nothing). Also I would suggest you to add more pages which help others to understand your website, like what your site do, how it work, what people can do with it.
Also I suggest you to add robots.txt file and add your XML sitemap's link in it.

The unsinkable Charles B. Rangel appeared on C-SPAN over the weekend. Why unsinkable? Well, the House of Representatives censured the New York Democrat in 2010 by a vote of 333 to 79 (when the body was still majority Democrat) for violating 11 ethics rules and "bringing discredit to the House." The New York Times called it a "staggering fall" for the senior Democrat. But fall-schmall, he's since been reelected and will retire at his leisure.
While chatting with Brian Lamb, Rangel dropped a few falsehoods as casually as cigar ash. This isn't to pick on Rangel. He's just illustrative. His assertion -- that the Republican and Democratic Parties "changed sides" in the 1960s on civil rights, with white racists leaving the Democratic Party to join the Republicans -- has become conventional wisdom. It's utterly false and should be rebutted at every opportunity.
It's true that a Democratic president, Lyndon Johnson, shepherded the 1964 Civil Rights Act to passage. But who voted for it? Eighty percent of Republicans in the House voted aye as against 61 percent of Democrats. In the Senate, 82 percent of Republicans favored the law, but only 69 percent of Democrats. Among the Democrats voting nay were Albert Gore Sr., Robert Byrd and J. William Fulbright.
The Republican presidential candidate in 1964 also opposed the Civil Rights Act. Barry Goldwater had been an enthusiastic backer of the 1957 and 1960 civil rights acts (both overwhelmingly opposed by Democrats). He was a founding member of the Arizona chapter of the NAACP. He hired many blacks in his family business and pushed to desegregate the Arizona National Guard. He had a good-faith objection to some features of the 1964 act, which he regarded as unconstitutional.
Goldwater was no racist. The same cannot be said of Fulbright, on whom Bill Clinton bestowed the Medal of Freedom. Fulbright was one of the 19 senators who signed the "Southern Manifesto" defending segregation.
OK, but didn't all the old segregationist senators leave the Democratic Party and become Republicans after 1964? No, just one did: Strom Thurmond. The rest remained in the Democratic Party -- including former Klansman Robert Byrd, who became president pro tempore of the Senate.
Former racists of both parties renounced their old views (as Kevin Williamson points out, Johnson himself voted against anti-lynching laws and poll-tax repeals), and neither party has a perfect record on racial matters by any stretch. But it is a libel to suggest that the Republican Party, the anti-slavery party, the party of Lincoln, and the party that traditionally supported civil rights, anti-lynching laws and integration, became the racist party after 1964.
The "solid south" Democratic voting pattern began to break down not in the 1960s in response to civil rights, but in the 1950s in response to economic development and the Cold War. (Black voters in the north, who had been reliable Republicans, began to abandon the GOP in response to the New Deal, encouraged by activists like Robert Vann to "turn Lincoln's picture to the wall. That debt has been paid in full.") In the 1940s, the GOP garnered only about 25 percent of southern votes.
The big break came with Dwight Eisenhower's victories. Significant percentages of white southerners voted for Ike, though the Democratic Party remained firmly segregationist and though Eisenhower backed two civil rights bills and enforced the Brown decision by federalizing the National Guard. They also began to send GOP representatives to the House.
These Republican gains came not from the most rural and "Deep South" regions, but rather from the newer cities and suburbs. If the new southern Republican voters were white racists, one would have expected that Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia would have been the first to turn. Instead, as Gerard Alexander notes in "The Myth of the Racist Republicans," the turn toward the GOP began in Virginia, North Carolina, Texas, Tennessee and Florida. Eisenhower did best in the peripheral states. Alexander concludes: "(T)he GOP's southern electorate was not rural, nativist, less educated, afraid of change, or concentrated in the ... Deep South. It was disproportionately suburban, middle-class, educated, young, non-native southern, and concentrated in the growth points that were the least 'Southern' parts of the south."
Rangel is peddling a libel, and Republicans should say so, loudly and often.

The large-area formwork for all shapes and loads
The crane-jumped formwork for vertical-walled structures
The current safety regulations in slab-formwork construction only conditionally satisfy the requirements of health, safety and ergonomics. FreeFalcon – The mobile fall protection with its unique engineered anchoring design, closes this safety gap. This mobile personal fall-arrest system secures construction crew members where the risk of a fall is most critical. It significantly enhances user safety without sacrificing mobility, helping to minimise the risk of falls from height.
As an increasingly large proportion of the population is concentrated in cities, metro systems have become a crucially important mobility factor. Passenger numbers worldwide have increased by approximately 8.7 million in the last six years. According to current estimates, the global metro rail network will be expanded by 1,400 km per year. Doka is involved as a formwork expert on a large number of metro projects all over the world, providing the best solutions for a variety of construction methods.

About a quarter mile past the ranger station, a high bluff overlooks the spot where the Withlacoochee River joins the Suwannee River on its way to the Gulf of Mexico. Vestiges of history in the park show how important the Suwannee River was to Florida history. Along the river are long mounds of earthworks built during the Civil War to guard against incursions by Union Navy gunboats. Other remnants from the past include one of the state?s oldest cemeteries, and a paddle?wheel shaft from a 19th century steamboat. Five trails, ranging from a quarter mile to 18 miles, loop through surrounding woodlands and provide panoramic views of the rivers. Other activities include fishing, picnicking, and canoeing; for overnight stays, the park has a full?facility campground and cabins. Located 13 miles west of Live Oak, off U.S. 90.
History of the Area
The river hums with echoes of history ?of the booming days of plantations and logging empires, of the high times of paddle-wheel boats steaming up and down the river, of the long disorientation after the Civil War, and of the quiet persistence of the strong pioneers who lived off this land and profited from the rivers.
South of the junction of the rivers, an earthwork (an earthen embankment used as a military fortification) was constructed by the Confederates during the Civil War. Its main purpose was to protect the railroad bridge across the Suwannee. Essential supplies, such as beef, salt, and sugar needed to feed the Confederate armies, were shipped by rail to Georgia. Union troops dispatched from Jacksonville to capture the bridge were turned back near Olustee in a hard-fought battle on Feb. 20, 1864. The town of Columbus stood in the vicinity of the earthworks. The remains of the Columbus Cemetery, believed to be one of the oldest cemeteries of Florida, are within the park. Columbus had its heyday and prospered from its railroad bridge, ferry landing, and a large sawmill. Steamboats were a common sight on the Suwannee and Withlacoochee. Near the river?s junction stood the elegant house which belonged to George F. Drew, the operator of the sawmill, who became governor in 1876.
The park has five full service cabins which sleep 6 and include a dishwasher, fireplace and large screened porch. Please note that pets are not allowed in the cabins. Cabin Reservations can be made up to 11 months in advance through Reserve America online or calling 1-866 I CAMP FL (1-866-422-6735) or 1-800-326-3521.
Full Facility Camping
Picnic tables, electric, and a grill are provided at all 30 campsites located in the family campground. A restroom with hot showers is within close proximity. Inquire at the ranger station for the availability of firewood and ice. Pets are allowed in the campground. See our Official Pet Policy for more information.
Youth Camping
Two youth tent camping areas for use by organized, non-profit youth groups are available. Youth Camping fees are $4.00 for both adults and youth.
The campground at Suwannee River State Park has 31 campsites available through the Reserve America system. They can accommodate RV type campers and tent campers as most sites depending upon size of each camping rig. Each site is equipped with electrical hookups (20 & 30 Amps), water, picnic table, and ground grill fire ring. There is a dump station located within the campground facility. All campers must register at the Ranger Station.
Canoeing & Kayaking
Both upper portions of the Suwannee River Canoe Trail and the Withlacoochee River Canoe Trail begin in Georgia and end at the park. The lower Suwannee River Canoe Trail begins at the park and ends at the Gulf of Mexico.
Boat ramps are available for various watercrafts, including boats, canoes, and kayaks. Rental of watercraft is not available at the park.
Visitors can enjoy fishing along the bank of the Suwannee River. Catches of catfish, bass, and panfish reward the persistent angler. A Florida freshwater fishing license is required for person?s 16 years of age and older.
Nearby Parks
Madison Blue Springs State Park
Two picnic pavilions are available in addition to the individual picnic tables and grills. Picnic tables and grills are standard at the 31 campsites located in the family campground.
Nature study is easy on the Suwannee River Trail, which winds along the high banks of the river and along Lime Sink Run. Interpretive labels explain the hammock and its various plants and animals for those who take the self-guided tour. The Sandhills Trail takes visitors from the picnic area to the Columbus Cemetery. The open forest of pines here contrasts with the hardwood hammock along the river trail. A section of this trail runs along the route of the old stage road, which ran from Pensacola to Jacksonville and was the major route of travel in the early 1800s. Note: All trails are for foot traffic only. Vehicles and horses are not permitted.

Stars help W.H. celebrate ACA
President Barack Obama celebrated the completion of the first open enrollment period for the Affordable Care Act with a star-studded reception at the White House on Thursday.
"Nashville" actress Connie Britton, former "Blossom" star and current "The Big Bang Theory" star Mayim Bialik and Bill Nye the Science Guy were among those on hand, as were Vice President Joe Biden, departing Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and other Cabinet members.
A White House official confirmed the event, organized by the Office of Public Engagement, describing as a way to thank "stakeholders and administration officials who helped with the outreach and enrollment around the Affordable Care Act … for their efforts."
( PHOTOS: White House Correspondents' Dinner 2014: Expected guests)
First lady Michelle Obama also joined the president at the event, which was not included on the president's public schedule, but included "loose and informal" remarks, as one attendee described them, from the first couple.
Without notes or a teleprompter, the president rehashed the enrollment numbers and thanked the crowd gathered in the Entrance and Cross Halls of the State Floor for its support in working on the law and getting people enrolled, the attendee said. Obama said that the first open enrollment period "represents a major step forward for this country and that the real impact is playing out in the lives of men, women and children all across this country who now have access to health care – many for the first time," the White House official said.
Obama also offered a shoutout to the people who worked on HealthCare.gov and other technical aspects, leading a "tech team! tech team!" chant.
While the mood was upbeat, Obama was sure to remind the law's supporters that there's more to be done — more people to enroll in insurance through exchanges and more states to expand Medicare. Local officials including Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn and Kansas City, Kansas Mayor Mark Holland attended , as did a small contingent of ACA supporters from Texas, including state Sen. Garnet Coleman and Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins.
( Also on POLITICO: Meet the WHCD paparazzi)
The first lady also spoke, telling the crowd that while she doesn't usually brag too much about her husband, she wanted to say how proud she is of her husband for pushing ahead on the ACA even when many said it was too risky or politically dangerous.
The attendee said the president looked pretty emotional and "even a tad embarrassed" as his wife spoke. When she finished speaking, they hugged and kissed.
The Obamas then started working the rope line, only for Obama to go back to the microphone and joke, "just need to let you know before I come and shake hands: We don't have time for selfies with everyone."
The White House official described the attendees as "the broad and diverse group of stakeholders who helped to enroll Americans in quality affordable health plans, and get information out about their health care options, including consumer groups, techies, pharmacies, hospitals, athletes, celebrities, mayors and other local elected officials and community leaders."
Other celebrities on hand included Adam Scott of "Parks and Recreation," actor and former White House staffer Kal Penn and actress Aisha Tyler. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx and Labor Secretary Tom Perez also attended.

Surabaya, City of Work: A Socioeconomic History, 1900-2000
Ohio University Center for International Studies/Ohio University Press, 2002 - 541 halaman
Surabaya is Indonesia's second largest city but is not well known to the outside world. Yet in 1900, Surabaya was a bigger city than Jakarta and one of the main commercial centers of Asia. Collapse of sugar exports during the 1930s depression, followed by the Japanese occupation, revolution, and independence, brought on a long period of stagnation and retreat from the international economy. Not until the export boom of the 1990s did Surabaya regain prominence as Southeast Asia's leading non-capital-city industrial area.
Previous thinking on Indonesia is being reassessed in light of recent political and economic upheaval. Surabaya, City of Work offers an alternative to the Jakarta-centric focus of most writing on the country. It is a multifaceted view of a fascinating and complex city in the dimensions of time and space, economy and society, and the current transition toward decentralization makes it highly topical.
Exploration of this eventful economic history gives new insight into Indonesia's modern economic development. Industrialization is recognized as being associated with rapid urbanization, but this is the first study of Indonesia from an explicitly urban perspective. Surabaya, City of Work takes a broad approach that links industrialization to socioeconomic trends, the increasing role of government, changing land use, and trade patterns.
This well-illustrated local history encompassing national events and trends will be a central work on Indonesia for years to come.

I just saw this. Did you end up getting one? I didnt like the fact that the wife and i had 2 different sleep mumbers. She would always sit higher then me. When i wanted her to sleep in my arms, i was basically laying in the middle.
When we werent cuddling, it was an ok mattess. There were so many pieces when you open up the matress. After a while the foam lost its firmness.
Just bought the W Hotel version of a beauty sleep mattress. We fell in love with it on a short vacation to Seattle.
You mentioned you had complaints about your Sleep Number Mattress. I have chronic back issues and was contemplating getting one of those mattresses. Any info you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

"A Killer Story" at Berkeley Marsh—intriguing language, ideas, difficult form
"A Killer Story" by Dan Harder at the Berkeley Marsh has talented actors and a provocative message about the power of fear and conjecture. However, it's structure—extensive and overlapping monologues with only an occasional exchange of dialogue holds it back from gripping you as detective stories ought. It could easily be high-level radio drama with a 1940's touch.
When it started, I was struck—nay, clobbered—with the piano score by Randy Craig. It seemed much like the theme from Garrison Keillor's Guy Noir a parody of the detective genre on NPR's "Prairie Home Companion." I soon recognized that this was a serious drama, but every time the piano struck up the music I giggled internally which intruded on my enjoyment.
Directed by Michelle Haner, it is performed in low light, with a red flooded backdrop and gobos of jail bars across the actors.
Madeleine H. D. Brown's Lana Turner-esque turn is slinky, fashionable, and the essence of svelte femme fatale, and her movement—somewhere between dance and model posing, entrancing and sensual —is the high point of the show.
Robert Parsons plays a paranoid neuroscientist; long-boned, cadaverous-looking the clichéd down-light, this 6'4" actor's matter-of-fact yet deep persona was the break from the persistent nagging giggle that kept dogging me and nipping at my enjoyment of the play.
Ryan O'Donnell looks the part of the private dick, rumpled and surly, but is unusually expressive for the genre, breaking the cards-close-to-the-chest Bogey expectations, and this helps sustain our attention.
They all deliver their long narratives convincingly, but long monologues in low light are lulling.
The writing is above average and strives to be poetic. There are some intriguing turns of phrase, some alliteration and similes that make you smile, and the language is enjoyable.
The audience seemed to enjoy it, no one departed during the 90 minutes, and gave them a rousing applause. "A Killer Story" plays at The Marsh Berkeley at 2120 Allston Way through May 18.

I mentioned previously that Rhythm King didn't release much Acid House, but to be fair they did release arguably the most successful UK version of the genre in the form of Baby Ford's Oochy Coochie. Peter Ford was also a more than respectable white soul singer, as evidenced by this summer stomper, co-produced with Jeremy Healy, with Laurie Mayer, Lorita Grahame and Sonique on backing vocals, and programmer R.Salt's Roland Jupiter 8 abundantly featured. Also check out the excellent Wigan on the B side.
Lorita Grahame
Colourbox 1984
I knew Ivo Watts-Russell of 4AD from The Lines days, he knew our manager Steve Brown and we did gigs with 4AD acts Bauhaus and The Birthday Party. When I found out he'd booked in Colourbox to do some recording I was pretty excited. I knew their amazing psychedelic R 'n B dub EP Shotgun and was very impressed by it. They were certainly a band apart from their more whimsical label mates. So I really wasn't sure what to expect.
One day two white boys walked in, they looked about 17, brothers, they weren't twins but could have been. They didn't bring any gear with them, just stood there grokking ours for a while, then went to it. This was Martyn and Steve Young of Colourbox. They had a manager, Ray Conroy, who would sit at the back and cheerlead. On vocal day Lorita Grahame would come down from the midlands, sulk a bit, and then blow us away with her incredible voice.
Martyn Young had an amazing ability to incorporate any new technology that arrived in the studio into the track he was working on, almost without missing a beat. For Manic our new Yamaha DX7 and Roland MSQ sequencer were put through their paces. We'd nearly finished the mix of You Keep Me Hangin' On when a new gizmo arrived that allowed us to pitch change a looped sample held in the AMS digital delay, and that's how the guitar breakdown in that song came about.
Simple technology, to be sure, compared to what Trevor Horn and his crew had going on a couple of miles away in Basing Street. But for my money Colourbox kicked Art of Noise's ass any day of the week.
Plus my boy William Orbit ripped out a great guitar solo on Manic.
They only made the one album, then they did a world cup theme, then they had a big hit with Pump Up The Volume, then they got sued by everybody, then they disappeared. I often wonder what they're up to now. Probably working down at the Hadron Collider with the other geniuses.
Update: I have just learned, to my great sadness, that Steven Young passed in July of this year. My deepest condolences to Martyn and all of Steven's family and friends. Just when you think 2016 can't get any worse…

Optimal health and performance at minimal environmental impact are of key importance for BioMar. BioMar EMEA has updated the source of mineral additives in all our feeds.
For the supply of the essential minerals, BioMar EMEA factories now utilize organic complexes with higher bioavailability instead of inorganic salts, in the formulation of all feeds.
Essential nutrients are nutrients required for normal physiological function. However, essential nutrients (minerals, vitamins, organic acids and amino acids) cannot be synthesized in the body and thus must be obtained from a dietary source.
Several essential minerals are of great importance for both the performance and the health status of the fish. Making the essential minerals more available for the fish increases the uptake. Furthermore, it improves the immune system of the fish and minimizes the environmental impact of fish farming. These factors are of key importance for BioMar.
Even within the category of organic-bound minerals, there are large variations between the different complexes. The most bioavailable and stable complexes are chelates of glycine. The glycine chelates have minimal interactions within the molecules in the gut and are actively transported through the gut wall to the cells. In the cell, the chelate is broken down and the mineral is available for metabolic utilization.
Several trials have shown that the proper use of organic-bound minerals will:
- Increase uptake and retention of the minerals
- Improve the mineral status of the individual
- Upgrade health status
- Increase performance
If you have more questions on this recent update, please contact your local sales representative.

Former teen idol Aaron Carter is out of rehab and ready to get back to making music.
The younger brother of the Backstreet Boys Nick Carter, Aaron left a Southern California Betty Ford clinic after a month of dealing with addiction issues, reports E! Online.
Carter's manager, Johnny Wright, explained the singer's decision to seek treatment.
U.S. & World
"Several months ago Aaron came to me to help him return to music and to restart his career. He has been in Orlando working on a new album and perfecting his live show and his physical body," he told E! "Aaron, understanding the challenges and hard work it would take to get himself back to the top, requested to take some time before we started to heal some emotional and spiritual issues he was dealing with. Therefore he has chosen to enter a facility where he feels he will get the guidance and cleansing he needs that will help him on the music journey he's about to take. He asks that everyone keep him in their prayers and that they respect his privacy at this time."
Carter formerly dated both Hilary Duff and Lindsay Lohan. He was also a contestant on the ninth season of ABC's Dancing With the Stars.

Shares of Boston Beer Co. fell Monday after a UBS analyst highlighted concerns about stalling sales growth.
THE SPARK: UBS analyst Kaumil Gajrawala downgraded the maker of Samuel Adams beer to "Sell" from "Neutral" and cut his price target by $7 to $96.
The company's distribution growth for its Twisted Tea drinks and Angry Orchard hard cider has slowed, Gajrawala said, citing industry data from Nielsen, which provides information on consumers' TV and buying habits. That could mean overall revenue growth may be lower in 2013 than investors and Wall Street analysts expect.
The Boston company's second-quarter net income dropped 48 percent, hurt by lower inventories at some of its wholesalers and rising costs. The results fell short of Wall Street predictions, but the company backed its full-year profit prediction.
Unless the company can come up with some new innovative products, Gajrawala said he expects earnings to disappointment investors in 2013 and beyond.
Boston Beer did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Manhunt over: Family Dollar murder suspect caught | Crime
Tampa, Florida -- The six-day manhunt for Demetrius Parks, the man who allegedly shot and killed Tampa Family Dollar store manager Horsley Shorter, is now over.
Police say Parks fatally shot Shorter as he tried to rob the store at 4900 N. 40th St. on the morning of July 14. While he was robbing one employee, Shorter was in his office and saw what was happening so he ran out to stop it and then Parks allegedly shot him. He died from his injuries at a hospital.
See Also: Employee says manager saved his life during hold-up
A warrant was issued for Parks' arrest on Wednesday, July 17. On Thursday, CBS and Clear Channel stepped up and offered space on 30 billboards throughout Tampa Bay to flash Parks' mugshot for all to see. A $16,000 reward was also offered with the hope it would lead someone to rat him out.
Tampa Police say leads tipped off U.S. Marshals that Parks was hiding in Atlanta, Georgia. Then, they learned late Friday night he boarded a Greyhound bus to Lakeland.
"We knew he had a bus ticket headed to Lakeland this morning to see his family and friends there and then we knew it was stopping in Orlando," said TPD's Public Information Officer, Laura McElroy. "U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force went onto the bus in Orlando around 10 [a.m.] and Parks tried to escape through the window. He was arrested without incident."

TPD says it received dozens of tips after Parks' mug shot was blasted on the Bay area billboards.
"It was an exhaustive manhunt and investigation," said McElroy. "The community played a critical role in finding him."
Shorter's family has been waiting for this arrest all week.
"We knew he would be caught, we just did not know when," said Shorter's older sister, Annielee Shorter.
Shorter had eight siblings. He lived at home with his elderly mother. Almost all of his siblings have come together this week to support each other and be there for their mother.
They have been humbled by the community's support.
PHOTOS: Family, friends & community members hold vigil for "J.R."
"All of us are hurt by this," said Shorter's youngest sister, Trinetta Williams. "I hope Parks gets what he deserves."
"We were all excited and glad he is off the streets and no one else has to be a victim of his," said Jennifer Dukes, Shorter's niece.
Parks is facing charges of first degree murder, armed robbery, carjacking, attempted kidnapping, auto theft, car burglary, and felon in possession of a firearm.
Shorter's viewing will be held Friday at Aikens Funeral Home from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. his funeral is set for Saturday at 11:00 a.m. at Bethel Temple off Hillsborough Avenue.

On Sunday night, hundreds of people in Downtown Dallas gathered to "Light the Night" for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's annual fundraiser.
The event was emceed by NBC 5 Consumer Specialist and Anchor Deanna Dewberry, who is a more than 20 year survivor of both cancers. She is also a breast cancer survivor.
Groups of "walk teams" carried light-up balloons, red for supporters, white for patients and survivors, and gold in memory of loved ones lost.
The latest news from around North Texas.
"The one thing about leukemia, cancer, is that it hits any age – and any race," said Jesse Cancino, a Grand Prairie man who lost his 18-year-old nephew Alex Puente to leukemia in 2008.
Cancino said Puente had registered for this very walk, but passed away before that October after his cancer came back aggressively.
Since Puente's passing, Cancino and his wife have started a scholarship fund in their nephew's memory.
The whole family now considers "Light the Night" a tradition.
"I know he's smiling down on us, he's walking with us in spirit," he said. "We do everything in his memory. We know he'd be happy knowing we're helping somebody else."
The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society focuses on raising money for research to find a cure, as well as improve the quality of life for patients and their families.
Leukemia is one of the most common cancers in children.

Easing organic agricultural trade
New tools help developing-country farmers market organic produce
8 October 2008, Rome – Organic farmers in developing countries will have greater access to world markets, thanks to two practical tools launched this week that seek to ease trade in organic agricultural products.
The new tools, which are the outcome of six years of collaborative work by FAO, the UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), and the International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements (IFOAM), the umbrella organization for the organic sector worldwide, will help streamline acceptance of products that are traded internationally.
Equitool is a guide to help decision-makers assess whether an organic production and processing standard applicable in one region of the world is equivalent – that is, not identical but equally valid – to another organic standard. This tool facilitates trade while also safeguarding organic production according to local socio-economic and agro-ecological conditions.
The second tool, IROCB (International Requirements for Organic Certification Bodies) is a minimum set of performance requirements for organic certification bodies that will enable import of products certified under foreign control systems.
The tools were approved at the final meeting of the International Task Force on Harmonization and Equivalency in Organic Agriculture (ITF) in Geneva. The task force, formed in 2003 by FAO, UNCTAD and IFOAM, comprises representatives of governments, intergovernmental agencies, and key stakeholders from the private sector, including certifiers and accreditors.
A growing market
Organic trade is expanding at the rate of 15-20 percent per year, and more than 100 countries currently export certified organic products. But international organic trade is hindered by a multitude of standards, regulations, and conformity assessment systems.
Over 400 public and private certification bodies now operate in the global organic marketplace. Products certified as organic under one system are not easily recognized as organic under another. This causes major headaches and costs for organic producers and exporters wishing to sell in different markets.
These barriers can put the economic, environmental, health and social benefits of organic agriculture beyond the reach of many producers, particularly resource-poor farmers in developing countries. It also leaves consumers paying higher prices for a more limited selection of products.
"The organic market is steadily expanding, new issues are emerging and organic standards and certification procedures are in constant development," says FAO Assistant Director-General Alexander Mueller.
"Rather than losing time, money and markets in this jungle of standards and regulations, the ITF has laid the basis for harmonious cooperation for those interested in facilitating the growth of the organic sector, while maintaining the integrity of the system," Mueller adds.
The ITF advocates that organic trade should be based on international standards and the principle of equivalence, and that organic certification bodies worldwide should meet common performance requirements.
There are currently two international standards for organic agriculture – the FAO/WHO Codex Alimentarius Commission Guidelines for the Production, Processing, Labelling and Marketing of Organically Produced Food and the IFOAM Basic Standards.

PODCAST: The Historic Beauregard-Keyes House
The Beauregard-Keyes House is an historic house located in New Orleans' French Quarter. Built in 1826, it was the home of Louisiana-born Confederate General P. T. Beauregard. In the 1940s, Frances Parkinson-Keyes, author of Dinner at Antoine's, the famous mystery novel set in New Orleans, purchased and restored the house and its adjacent gardens. The prolific writer, who authored 51 books, lived in the home until her death on July 3, 1970. According to some, the Beauregard-Keyes House has a very unusual ghost. In this podcast, tour guide Ott Howell tells us about the ghost, and also explains why the large home has only two bedrooms. Howell describes some of the objects that fill the house, such as Keyes' doll and fan collections, photographs and antique paintings.

Apple responded to political pressure over the "NRA: Practice Range" app by raising the game's age limit from 4 to 12.
It still isn't clear at this point what connection the National Rifle Association has to the app, which is described as an "official NRA licensed product" on iTunes.
"Apple did the right thing by acknowledging that this game isn't for young children, but (the company) should go farther and make the restrictions as tight as possible," Sen Chuck Schumer, D-NY told the New York Daily News. "The NRA has acted in an unbelievably hypocritical fashion by blaming the nation's gun violence on video games and movies, then coming out with a game — for children — featuring assault weapons."
U.S. & World
The app allows shooters to chose weapons, including an M-9 handgun, Colt M16 and AK-47 assault rifles, and shoot targets that resemble coffins. Apple didn't comment on the decision to raise the age limit, but raised the age after receiving a letter complaining about its rating from Schumer and other politicians addressed to Apple chief Tim Cook.
Other politicians, such as Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., said the NRA iOS app's release on Jan. 13, the month anniversary of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings, was considered offensive. "How could they think it was a good idea to use the one month anniversary of the tragedy at Sandy Hook to release a game that teaches four-year-olds to shoot assault weapons?" Murphy said in a statement.
The app, which has 3-D simulated gun violence, isn't appropriate for 4-year-olds, and it makes us wonder how Apple decides on its ratings or if it simply takes them at face value from the developer. We hope it's not the latter.
