Co. reported that 2Q06 EPS was at the high end of the range issued in the outlook at the last conference call. 2Q06 sales were $592m. 2Q06 GAAP net income of $46.3m or $1.16 per diluted share. 2Q06 non-GAAP earnings were $1.47 per share. Co. is reaffirming full-year 2006 outlook for earnings before restructuring and other income and charges of $5.35-5.55 per diluted share. Co. expects 3Q06 earnings before restructuring and other income and charges of $0.95-1.05 per share.
A. Key Data From Call 1. 2Q06 sales = $592m. 2. 2Q06 GAAP net income = $46.3m. 3. 2Q06 GAAP diluted EPS = $1.16. 4. 2Q06 non-GAAP EPS = $1.47. 5. 2Q06 CapEx = $28.8m. 6. 2Q06 share repurchase = approx. 315,000 shares at a total cost of $20m. 7. Full-year 2006 diluted EPS guidance (before restructuring and other income and charges) = $5.35-5.55. 8. 3Q06 EPS guidance (before restructuring and other income and charges) = $0.95-1.05.
S1. 2Q06 Business Review (B.W.) 1. Opening Comments: 1. EPS was at the high end of the range issued in the outlook at the last conference call. 2. Ag Products met earnings expectations through improved margins. 3. Specialty Chemicals delivered double-digit earnings growth on higher volumes and selling prices. 4. Industrial Chemicals continued to realize significant pricing
leverage, particularly in soda ash. 2. 2Q06 Performance: 1. Sales of $592m were up 5% vs. 2Q05. 2. Earnings before restructuring and other income and charges of $1.47 per diluted share were up 9% over 2Q05 of $1.35 a share. 3. GAAP net income of $46.3m or $1.16 per diluted share. 1. GAAP earnings included a net after-tax charge of $0.31 per share related to discontinued operations and restructure and income and charges. 4. Non-GAAP earnings were $1.47 per share vs. $1.35 in 2Q05. 5. 2Q06 performance was achieved despite the impact of higher energy and raw material costs across the corp. vs. prior year higher company-wide energy and raw material costs, unfavorably impacted earnings by $0.27 per share in the qtr. 1. Currency translation had an unfavorable impact of $0.02 per share vs. 2Q05. 6. In Co.'s view, 2Q06 performance clearly reflects the benefit it derives from its end market diversity and relative insensitivity to GDP cycles. 3. Other Details: 1. All of Co.'s businesses hold leading market positions.
2. Relative to others in its sector, Co.'s revenue stream is less
sensitive to GDP cycles as a result of the diversity of its
end markets and customer base. 3. FMC benefits from a diversified and integrated cost structure. 4. Relative to other chemical companies, FMC has limited dependence on petrochemical feedstocks. 5. FMC mitigates its exposure to the volatility of energy costs
by hedging 80% of its planned purchases of natural gas on a
rolling 12-month basis. 4. Ag Products: 1. Revenue of $184m was 6% lower than $196m achieved last year. 2. North American sales declined as a result of the previously reported shift of product sales into 1Q06 and the continued impact of generic bifenthrin competition. 3. Due to the timing of certain sales in Eastern Europe, overall European revenue was low. 4. Sales in Asia continued to show good growth, particularly in China, Australia, and Korea.
5. Latin American sales rose modestly. 6. Earnings of $44.5m were essentially level to 2Q05. 7. Margin expansion was achieved through improved product mix and continued supply chain productivity improvements, which together more than offset the revenue decline in higher raw material costs. 5. Industrial Chemicals: 1. Revenue of $252m increased 14% vs. 2Q05, as sales gains were
achieved across soda ash, peroxygens, and Foret. 1. Higher selling prices for soda ash and hydrogen peroxide were the primary drivers. 2. This revenue increase was achieved despite the impact of unfavorable currency translation primarily the euro on the European operations. 2. Segment earnings of $24.9m, increased 2% vs. 2Q05, as the revenue gains were mitigated by: 1. Higher energy costs, particularly in Spain. 2. Higher raw material costs.
3. Absence of profits from Astaris, which was divested in Nov.
of last year. 6. Corporate Items: 1. Corporate expense of $11.2m was essentially level to 2Q05. 2. Interest expense net was $9.2m, down from $17m in 2Q05 due to lower interest rates and debt levels. 3. On 06/30/06: 1. Gross consolidated debt was $680.4m.
2. Debt, net of cash, was $476.6m. 4. 2Q06 D&A was $33.5m.
5. 2Q06 CapEx was $28.8m.
S2. Specialty Chemicals (T.B.) 1. 2Q06 Highlights: 1. Revenue of $156.6m, increased 5% over 2Q05, while earnings increased 12%. 2. Lithium and BioPolymer's pharmaceutical business delivered
strong performance. 1. Lithium's performance was a result of higher pricing in the upstream primary business due to tight industry supply demand, coupled with continued volume growth in the downstream specialties business. 2. BioPolymer results were led by good performance in pharmaceutical excipients, offset in part by weaker than expected results in the food ingredients business. 3. Pharmaceutical excipients showed broad growth across several product lines driven primarily by growth in generic pharmaceuticals in the US and emerging markets. 4. The food business was impacted in 2Q06 by higher energy and seaweed cost, a low order pattern for pet food carrageenan and an inventory reduction program at one of the larger customers. 1. Pet food and the inventory reduction issues are now behind Co. and it has seen normal order patterns return.
5. Co. expects seaweed and energy costs to remain slightly higher
in 2H06 than the prior year. 1. FMC has raised prices and is driving various productivity initiatives to mitigate these impacts. 6. YTD performance for the group was ahead of last year, with earnings up 11% on 5% growth in revenues. 7. For the full-year, Co. expects revenues to increase approx. 5% over 2005 with earnings growth of approx. 10%. 1. As it has been typical of the segment, 2H06 results are expected to be lower than those in 1H06. 8. Lower Lithium results in 2H06 due to timing of planned
maintenance shutdowns and order pattern changes in the
synthesis market will only partially be offset by continued
growth in BioPolymer. 2. Lithium: 1. The division is a global supplier of value-added lithium chemistry. 2. With revenues of approx. $185m, Co. is the second largest supplier in this $500m market. 3. Overall growth of the industry is around 4-5% per year, led by the energy storage and pharmaceutical synthesis markets. 1. Energy storage market is growing between 8-10% per year while the synthesis market is growing between 5-7%. 4. The remainder of the business, which includes polymers and various other industrial applications, historically has grown at rates similar to GDP. 5. FMC's strength in this business is in downstream specialty applications where it serves higher value end-users and where it has technical capabilities that are unmatched in the industry. 1. These markets due to lithium continue to exhibit attractive growth …

RIP diggers
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2012-04-1...iggers/3955380A memorial service has been held in Sydney for two World War II soldiers whose identities remained a mystery for nearly 70 years.
Lieutenant Scobbell McFerran-Rogers and Private John Whitworth were members of the Z Special Unit, a special forces unit made up of allied soldiers.
The pair died in June 1945 while on a mission to rescue two United States airmen whose plane went down in the Netherlands East Indies, now Indonesia.
The body of a Timorese interpreter named Roestan who worked with the unit has also been identified...
Rest in Peace.
+ Rest in Peace +
May they both rest in peace.
RIP fellas
A legendary unit, hopefully their actions will never be forgotten.

She just looks like she was made for cock guzzling. Angelina Valentine can suck on a cock lollipop like if she's missing her tonsils. Sort of like Tory Lane or Eva Angelina. Her clit is pierced so I'm sure that Angelina Valentine is always is the mood for some "sexy time". She's covered in tattoos but it suits her look. The porn world needs to watch out for this one as it seems that the little tiger that was trapped inside her got let out of it's cage, and now it has become a ferocious beast. Grrrrrr!!!!

Dear Mike: Im from the Philadelphia area and
your show (
my maiden name is McGrath, which, I confess, is why I
listening). Anyway, we moved south, and our homes lawn is
by wild garlic. My 14-month-old daughter will be playing on this grass so no herbicides. What can we do instead? Thanks,
----Emily in Knoxville, TN
Any suggestions on how to rid my yard of onion grass? I dig the plants up but cannot seem to prevent their spread over more of my lawn each year. Thanks for your help!
---Rosemary in Philadelphia
My flowerbed is overrun with wild onions. They are impossible to pull; how can I get rid of them without killing any perennials or bushes in the same area?
---Lori in Kankakee (Illinois)
Well, you can forget about using herbicides on
invaders, no matter how you feel about the virtues of spraying death in order to disable otherwise fine plants you have been conditioned to despise. Most of the chemicaland non-chemicaltreatments designed to destroy existing plants are broadleaf herbicides. Simply put, the broad leaves of the targeted weed catch and hold the chemicalor vinegar or soapin place so it can do its plant-killing work. These onions and garlicswild members of the
familyare tall and slender, and thus shed herbicides very effectively.
their underground bulblike that of a cultivated onion or garlicstores a lot of energy for future rejuvenation.
The answer to these weeds in flower beds and high-quality lawns is intelligent pulling. Im mystified that Lori in Kankakee says that theyre impossible to pull, as I have had some of the distinctive clumps appear in my peach orchard and the entire clump comes out easily when I pull on it gently but firmly after a good, soaking rain. This is one of the many benefits of improving your soil, boys and girlsweeds that sprout out of nice, loose rich soil that contains a lot of organic matter in the form of
practically pull
out. Conversely, weeds that grow in lousy, compacted clay are pretty firmly anchored.
And pulling from wet soil is
more productive than dry. So go out after a rain, reach down to the soil line and tug gently; thats how you get the underground bulb out completely. If you only snap them off at the soil line, the plant is not harmed; you spend the same amount of time and energy as someone who does it correctly, but get no benefit.
You can also remove tight clumps with a sharp, long-handled poachers spade, which is also a very useful tool for transplanting and rabbit hunting in Merry Old England.
sprouts are the most annoying and time-consuming to deal with. So be smart. If you have a large area with mostly single plants, clear small sections at a time, being sure to pull slowly and get the bulbs completely out. Start with highly visible areas and give yourself several seasons to do it all; if youve just been cursing them for the past five years, you cant expect overnight eradication. And dont let the
-pulled plants in other areas set seed while youre doing this; mow or weed-whack the tops off those miscreants before they can procreate.
In a lawn, the best answer is always the indirect approach; grow a healthier lawn. That means using a
corn gluten meal weed and feed
in the Spring to provide a nice feeding and prevent any dropped seed from sprouting; and then provide a
natural feeding with
or a
bagged organic lawn fertilizer
in the fall for
cool-season grasses
like bluegrass and fescue.
summer feeding for cool-season grasses! And no
In addition, never cut cool-season lawns lower than three inches. Water
grasses deeply and
frequently, and
when needed; never water every day, for short periods of time, or on a schedule that ignores rainfall. Do these things and the
and other weedswill diminish naturally over time
And I would be remiss if I did not note that these plants are edible, and highly sought after as ingredients in Springtime tonics. Yes, the flavor
very sharp compared to that of cultivated alliums, but thats a sign that they contain much higher amounts of
and other natural antibiotics and cancer-fighting compounds than their cultivated cousins. Try mixing
, well-chopped-up amounts into dishes. Or chop some up (cloves and greens) and soak them for a few months in a good quality apple cider vinegar to make delicious garlic vinegar.
Dear Mike, I'm being plagued by the beautiful six-petaled flower, Star of Bethlehem, and want to know how I may eliminate it.
---Harry in Levittown, PA
Any advice on how to obliterate the invasive little devils known as
Ornithogalum umbellatum
, or Star of Bethlehem? Digging them up one by one is a long and tedious process. I tried putting fieldstone over them, but they just come creeping out the edges of the stone.
----Linda in Collingswood, NJ
Control of these escaped ornamentals is the same as with the wild alliums; get the underground bulb out by intelligent pulling and that plant will trouble you no more.
Or install edging to keep it confined to certain areas and consider this entry from Anna Pavords excellent and
recommended new book Bulb (Mitchell Beazley; 2009): If you have not been brainwashed to think of it as a thug, Star-of-Bethlehem will appear unexpectedly charming, with wide spreading heads of light, feathery, airy flowers with very precise habits, opening at 11 oclock and closing at three in the afternoon. A good flower to naturalize in meadow grass or under shrubs.

Version 0.0.6 Released!
Yet another release is out! This time around we add support for "input" jobs. Previously, whenever we wanted to run a job, we had to copy the input over from our local machine or it had to already be in the underlying datastore. But if you just wanted to place a file in the datastore for later, it wasn't do-able. But now it is! Just run this:
result = neptune( :type => "input", :local => "get_mapreduce_output.rb", :remote => "/neptune-testbin/testscript.rb", :storage => "gstorage", :EC2_ACCESS_KEY => "your access key", :EC2_SECRET_KEY => "your secret key", :S3_URL => "commondatastorage.googleapis.com" ) puts result
From our example above, we indicate where our local copy of the file is (here it's another piece of Neptune code) and where we should store it in the datastore (as these use the S3 naming convention, they should begin with a slash '/'). For the short-term, the bucket should already exist (this matters for Google Storage but not the others). This method call then returns a boolean value corresponding to whether or not the operation succeeded. So upgrade to Neptune 0.0.6 and check back soon for more updates!

Sheila Whysall doesn't specifically remember hearing the last special chiming of Big Ben in 1952, when the famed bell rang to mark the death of George VI.
But she knows that as a girl in Northern Ireland, her mother would have insisted that she listen to it on the radio.
So she was across the street from Parliament when Big Ben rang outside its usual quarter-hour duties for the first time on Friday in 60 years to welcome the Olympics.
The two and a half minute ringing blended with traffic noise and the ringing of small bells wielded by spectators.
People across Britain were urged to ring everything - doorbells, bike bells, there was even a smartphone bell app — at twelve minutes past eight. "Big Ben is London," says Whysall.

Welcome to engineering.plastics.com
JOIN the Engineering Plastics Community by SABIC Innovative Plastics and Plastics.com
This is an entire internet community built around the topic of 'Engineering Plastics'. If you work in, or are interested in, engineering plastics, please consider this your home away from home! And the best way to get started is to JOIN this site AND this group.
Group members gain access to all of our functions, including being able to ask questions of experts in the Engineering Plastics Forum.
What are Engineering Plastics...
Engineering Thermoplastics are a subset of plastic materials that are used in applications generally requiring higher performance in the areas of heat resistance, chemical resistance, impact, fire retardancy or mechanical strength. Engineering Thermoplastics are so named as they have properties in one or more areas that exhibit higher performance than commodity materials and are suitable for applications that require engineering to design parts that perform in their intended use.
In the plastics marketplace today, it is generally accepted that engineering plastics are materials that have heat resistance above 100 deg C and good flame retardant properties. While commodity plastics tend to be very high volume production, and priced on a supply/demand basis as the name suggests, the delineation between engineering plastics and commodity plastics over time has come to mean differences in heat resistance and flame retardancy and in general an overall higher level of performance for engineering plastics. Additionally we recognize a category called Performance Plastics (link to PP section) which are the highest heat materials made today, and they are generally considered a subset of engineering plastics.
Engineering Thermoplastics, as with Commodity Thermoplastics, are in a separate category from Thermosets. Both types of thermoplastics are created by the manufacturer as long polymer chains ready to be molded — the polymerization process, which creates chains of repeating monomer units, is accomplished in a chemical plant. These materials are basically melted and formed into the desired shape by a variety of processes (link processes to other sections or sub articles here) and once processed, can be re-melted and formed again, or ground and worked back into the production process to reduce the use of virgin material.
Thermosets, on the other hand, are not created by the manufacturer as ready to use long polymer chains. Thermosets are polymerized during the conversion process to create a part. Under heat and pressure, the resin and catalyst react in the mold to create long, cross linked polymer chains, with permanent chemical bonds. They cannot be re-melted and therefore the scrap is not able to be worked back into the supply stream (except perhaps as a filler in some cases). This basic difference — thermoplastics consisting of long polymer chains that can be made to flow with heat and thermosets consisting of cross linked long polymer chains that cannot be reprocessed with heat or pressure — gives differing properties to the finished product with unique advantages and challenges.
To further illustrate this difference, consider water, which can be frozen into a solid — ice — and remelted to water and back and forth again, similar to a thermoplastic. Alternatively a cake is mixed up as a batter and baked (heated), creating a different chemistry in the final product that cannot be taken back to cake batter regardless of the amount of heat applied.

Marshall Media Relations HerdNation.com
Edited by Herd Nation Managing Editor Jacob MesserHUNTINGTON -- What a difference a week makes.Of course, the quality of the opponent also helps.A week after a 69-34 loss to West Virginia, one of the best teams in Division I-A, Marshall rolled to a 52-24 victory versus Western Carolina, one of the worst programs in Division I-AA, in front of a Joan C. Edwards Stadium crowd of 25,317 in Huntington on Saturday.The Thundering Herd improved to 1-1 with the win.Next up for Marshall is the 56th edition of the Battle for the Bell against former Mid-American Conference rival Ohio (2-0), which earned a 51-24 victory versus visiting New Mexico State in Athens on Saturday.The Bobcats embarrassed the Thundering Herd last season, amassing 559 total yards on 85 plays en route to a 44-7 victory.Marshall will host Ohio on Saturday at 6:30 p.m.Marshall continued its high-powered offensive trends, as it amassed 615 total yards against Western Carolina after putting up 545 total yards against West Virginia. It marks the most yards in a game since Marshall had 604 total yards against Kent State on October 11, 2003."I thought our kids came out with a lot of enthusiasm and played extremely hard," Thundering Herd head coach Doc Holliday said. "The one stat that I'm most proud of is that we didn't turn the ball over. I tell the guys all the time that if we take care of the football and play hard that everything else will take care of itself."The offense was anchored by Rakeem Cato after the sophomore quarterback finished 32-of-42 with 377 passing yards and three touchdowns. This was the second game Cato has passed for over 300 yards after recording 413 against West Virginia.Twelve different receivers put their hands on the ball during the game, and the passing attack accounted for 430 total yards. Cato's favorite target, Aaron Dobson, brought down nine catches and contributed 81 yards and one touchdown reception.Senior Antavious Wilson led the team with 98 receiving yards, while sophomore Tommy Shuler had 79 receiving yards and a 57-yard haul in the first half.Marshall's ground game was spearheaded by redshirt freshman Steward Butler, who had eight touches and gained 60 yards for a 7.5 yard average and scored his first career touchdown.The Marshall defensive corps was led by sophomore linebacker Evan McKelvey with 10 tackles and 1.5 tackles for loss. Senior linebacker Devin Arrington had a pick-six in the third quarter and ended the game with a team-high five solo tackles."Defensively, I thought we tackled better," Holliday said. "We should have gotten ourselves off of the field a couple times. We had some penalties that need to be corrected."Western Carolina quarterback Eddie Sullivan, a Marshall transfer, finished the game 19-of-40 with 191 yards and one touchdown. Sullivan also led the run game with 50 rushing yards and two touchdowns. His most popular target, Jacoby Mitchell, had nine receptions and 84 yards. Holliday's defense was the story in the first half, as the Thundering Herd only allowed the Catamounts six first downs and 120 total yards compared to Marshall's 355. The Marshall defense held Western Carolina without a first down until the 14:07 mark in the second quarter.Marshall got on the board on its first possession following a 57-yard pass from Cato to Shuler. The completion set up a 24-yard field goal from Justin Haig to put the Herd up 3-0.Cato engineered three more touchdowns through the air to give Marshall a 24-0 lead.Tight end Gator Hoskins capped an 11-play, 82 yard drive with a touchdown reception and Dobson followed with a 2-yard pass reception from Cato to extend the Marshall lead.Wide out Demetrius Evans put up the final points of the second half for Marshall after completing a nine play, 68 yard drive with a 12-yard touchdown catch from Cato. The reception marked Evans' first career points.After 29 minutes of keeping the Catamounts scoreless, Western Carolina's Richard Sigmon pushed a 40-yard field goal through the uprights to make the score 24-3 at the half.Western Carolina cut the Marshall lead again with a score on its second possession of the third quarter. Mitchell caught a 5-yard pass from Sullivan to make the score 24-10. However, Marshall responded with two quick scores from its running corps as Butler and redshirt freshman Remi Watson contributed touchdowns in the third quarter to push the lead to 35-10.Arrington added his 18-yard interception return late in the third quarter to give Marshall a 45-10 margin. The pick-six was the first score of Arrington's career.The fourth quarter was started with a 16-play, 88-yard drive from Western Carolina that was topped off by Sullivan with a 1-yard touchdown run to cut the Marshall lead. Sullivan would also run in one final Catamount touchdown to end the game.Redshirt freshman backup quarterback Blake Frohnapfel gave the Herd faithful its first Frohnapfel-to-Frohnapfel connection as his twin brother, sophomore tight end Eric Frohnapfel, caught a 29-yard pass to give Marshall its final score of the game.Marshall ended the game without a turnover and was able to put together 37 first downs off of 94 total plays. ...More...

DALONSO, Glaucia de Lima. Trabalhadoras brasileiras e a relação com o trabalho: trajetórias e travessias. Psicol. Am. Lat. [online]. 2008, n.15, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1870-350X.
This article aims to redeem historically the inclusion of women in the world of work, especially in Brazil, analyzing what the main points that determine this process. The study was developed from a literature review on the subject and is structured in three stages. Initially was turned problematic the participation of women in the labor market correlating it with the division sexual techniques. In a second stage it emerged how was the inclusion of women at work in the Brazilian context, and finally, the article was ended with a reflection about the implications of motherhood on the female work. In this study we can examine that the conditions lived by women in the labor market should consider various factors, economic order, social, cultural and even the institutional that allow a reflection about the difference and female identity (social and biological) , the sexual division of the techniques, the work productive and reproductive, and the relationship between capitalism and patriarchalism, expressed in the forms of control of the production, according to the condition of gender.

Host Contract Management has bought concession caterer Couture for an undisclosed sum.
The acquisition is the first for Host since it was founded in 2004 by Jerry Brand, who stepped back from the business last year when Bill Toner took over as chief executive, and takes the caterer into a new market.
Host currently operates 86 contracts across business & industry (B&I), healthcare and independent education, while privately-owned Couture has a foothold in the heritage sector.
Couture has eight retail contracts including two museum concessions in Manchester, two film studios and a B&I site in London's Canary Wharf (see below).
Toner described the move as a "fantastic acquisition" for Host, taking the business into a "new and relatively untapped segment", adding: "When the rest of the market is stagnant we are proud that our plans for growth are on track. We hope to follow this with further acquisitions."
Couture, which has an annual turnover of £5m, will retain its brand name as a division of Host and take the total annualised turnover to £22m.
"It was always our intention to grow Host and our aim is to get to £30m annualised by the end of the year. This acquisition will help give us the strength and credibility to compete further in the market and give us a good foundation from which to grow even further," said Toner.
"Couture operates strong contracts, in interesting areas, but we feel Host can bring additional value with our focus on food quality, chef training and strong operational support. Our national sales team will also be concentrating on growing both brands by adding further contracts to the mix."
Couture was originally founded in 2006 by Marc Warde but he left the business in February to take up the role of business development director with contract caterer Graysons, where he was tasked with setting up a new division dedicated to venues and cultural and visitor attractions.
Meanwhile Duncan Ackery, formerly chief executive at upmarket caterer Searcys, took over the running of Couture.
Commenting on Ackery's future with Couture following the company's acquisition, a Host spokesperson told Caterer and Hotelkeeper: "Duncan Ackery will continue to provide consultancy support to the business during the transitional period."

Meditations: "We join together now in a time of meditation or prayer, spoken at first and then for a time in the peace that silence brings."
As we enter into silence we remember the many connections that sustain and uplift us through this religious community. We remember those who preceded us, whose contributions built a free faith, who built this home for its practice.
We remember those around us, whose continuing care in thought and deed is an ongoing blessing in our lives, keeping the dream of free religion alive in our time.
We remember those who will follow us, the children presently in our care and those not yet come to light, who will inherit the work of our hands and hearts.
In the silence now, we sit surrounded by these many connections, visible and invisible, that remind us every day that we are not alone.
(Silent meditation)
Peace be with us, and with all under the sun.

This may not look like your typical pony, but it started off as one! Pretend you're making a low pony, but keep your hair tucked into your hair elastic instead of pulling it out! Fuss with a few face-framing layers to make it look easy.
We heart Bridgit's pretty tail—steal this style by creating a quick side part with the front section of your hair, then pulling the rest back into a mid-height pony. Use a 2-inch barrel curling iron to create waves in the tail, wrapping hair in different directions around the iron to create a tumble of curls. Add a quick flip to the front sections, while you're at it!
Crystal's bumped-up pony looks fierce with her choppy bangs. Continue the piece-y look throughout the pony by pulling out the pieces on the side of the face and using a curling iron to add movement to the layers.
Everything about Jordin's look is meant to frame the face, which we love! Create a center part all the way down, and pull hair into a low pony at the base of the head, centered. The trick here is to wear the tail around on one side, over the shoulder. Curl the ends of the pony to add flirty volume.
Chicas with cropped locks can totally pull off Chloe's look. Leave a 2-inch section of hair out of your low pony, then use a flat iron to straighten the front pieces. Awesomely rad with leather.
Love the height on Julianne's bouncy tail. Lightly tease the crown first, then pull up into a mid pony. Tighten the tail to create even more rise, and make sure to leave the front sections free—smooth to finish.
Janel's pretty pony has a decidedly retro vibe. Pull off a major pouf for school by pairing with a neutral lip—but red's totally okay for a night out! It's a typical pony with a little bit of a bump: Take a comb and tease that crown, then pull everything back into a high pony. Make sure to spritz with strong hold hairspray so it doesn't fall flat during the day.

I have an event coming up that starts out as ceremony and moves into playing volleyball and running around. I am wanting an updo that looks elegant for the ceremony but casual for playing. (my crush will be there and I usally dont do too much to my hair so I dont want to go overboard) Hair is a darker shoulder length straight that doesnt curl.

Zen Pinball 2 and its inexplicably numerous variations on just about every currently available platform is about as ubiquitous as a pinball platform could possibly be. In most of its forms, the core Zen Pinball 2 platform is free with extremely protracted demos of a few available tables included, so you're expected to purchase packs of pinball tables to get any real gaming experience out of the game. The first three of ten planned Star Wars themed DLC pinball tables for the Zen Pinball 2 suite were launched recently with designs based on Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, the character Boba Fett and the animated TV series The Clone Wars. Is the Force with this first batch of pinball tables or do they belong to the ever-growing dark side of licensed Star Wars video games? Read on to see how we liked our pinball Jedi training.

Conservatives are typically known for their message discipline. But something about global warming seems to get them where they live, as it were. They feel compelled to try to convince the public that carbon dioxide is harmless and the secret agenda of environmentalists is to regulate literally every aspect of your lives (see Krauthammer, Part 2: The real reason conservatives don't believe in climate science).
As a result, individual members of Congress just make up the most bizarre and self-contradictory attacks imaginable. That is clearest with Rep. Joe Barton (R-TX), the ranking Republican of the House Energy and Commerce Committee (see links below). Today's befuddled argument for inaction from Barton was first published by Think Progress.
In a new interview with Newsmax, Barton continued his nonsensical approach to the issue, claiming that the Obama administration's efforts to regulate carbon dioxide would potentially "close down the New York and Boston marathons":
Barton says the average healthy adult exhales between four-tenths of a ton and seven-tenths of a ton of CO2 a year.
"So if you put 20,000 marathoners into a confined area, you could consider that a single source of pollution, and you could regulate it," Barton says. "The key would be whether the EPA said that 20,000 people running the same route was one source or not."
One indication that the EPA likely would consider 20,000 runners a single source of pollution is that the agency is trying to regulate waste-water runoff and emissions of drilling rigs in oil fields by attempting to define entire areas as a single source of pollution, Barton says.
common conservative attack against addressing greenhouse gas emissions is to say that there are natural sources of CO2, so if we regulate industry we would have to regulate those sources as well. But this is straw man argument. As the the EPA notes, it is industrial sources of CO2, not natural sources, that "have increased CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere":
Natural sources of CO2 occur within the carbon cycle where billions of tons of atmospheric CO2 are removed from the atmosphere by oceans and growing plants, also known as 'sinks,' and are emitted back into the atmosphere annually through natural processes also known as 'sources.' When in balance, the total carbon dioxide emissions and removals from the entire carbon cycle are roughly equal.
Since the Industrial Revolution in the 1700′s, human activities, such as the burning of oil, coal and gas, and deforestation, have increased CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere. In 2005, global atmospheric concentrations of CO2 were 35% higher than they were before the Industrial Revolution.
In the interview, Barton mocked the EPA's recent declaration that carbon dioxide was a pollutant that endangers public health and welfare. "There's never been anybody who's been treated in an emergency room for CO2 poisoning. It doesn't cause asthma; it doesn't cause your eyes to water; it doesn't cause cancer."
Of course, the EPA declared CO2 a threat to public health because of the catastrophic consequences of climate change, not because it is a carcinogen.

16 Responses to Global warming debate befuddles GOP: Joe Barton says regulating CO2 could ˜close down the New York and Boston marathons
You'd think if we could call a collection of runners point sources we could call, um, maybe idling trucks at a distribution center in Oconomowoc as a point source. Courts said no to that one Mr. Barton. Better luck next time. Perhaps you'd like to change the law. I'd gladly give up marathons for the ability to regulate truck stops and dist centers as point sources.
Can our side use stupid non-scientific analogies too? For example, what happens to Joe Barton if he inhales pure carbon dioxide for just five minutes? He dies, therefore, carbon dioxide is dangerous!
What Joe Barton has chosen to ignore is that CO2 is a respiratory TOXIN. In 1986, Lake Noyos in Cameroon burped CO2 in an event that left over 1,700 people dead. There is a very real concern over CO2 respiratory hazards from land based disposal in CCS systems. Depending on how much were to leak and how fast, we may not be able to evacuate people out of the zone where death would be sure, silent and swift.
conservatives can't tell the difference between respiration and burning something. this probably leads to hundreds of deaths every year as they set themselves on fire trying to take a deep breath. gets hushed up as "arson" so the morons can keep their seats in congress.…
While I deeply empathize with the urge to call conservatives "stupid" and "morons," I think that it's important to realize the effect of each epithet.
I would argue that each intelligence assault (especially earned intelligence assaults) to a conservative is more damaging than each incandescent lightbulb burning on the planet right now.
Solving climate change = getting every single person we can convince totally on board.
Insulting someone's intelligence, especially when they are actually behaving unintelligently, is a bad way to convince anyone of anything. But it is a great way to make someone double-down on a losing strategy, even to the point of being totally and obviously irrational.
If environmentalists were serious about solving global warming, all of these tokeny pledges to micromanage one's own carbon emissions would be thrown out the window, and be replaced with a full court press campaign to make conservatives and deniers feel okay about solving the problem of global warming.
The bottom line is that when they stop feeling frightened and offended and put out is when actual, large-scale progress starts.
deborah, i should have made it clearer i was making fun of joe barton and fellow disreputable politicians, not regular people.
about intelligence, though, you're the one saying they're not smart enough to figure it out for themselves, with this "if environmentalists were serious" junk. if a person is inclined to think that the greenhouse effect is a communist conspiracy, they're on their own strange trip, and need to be separated from the group until sense returns. this is one of the rare times that i support ostracism.
US conservatives — pols and base — need to come to terms with how far out they've wandered into the wilds of their own beliefs and paranoia. they don't seem interested. the solution for others isn't just open ears and hands and hearts, it means getting rid of the radical bankster policies of the last 30 years, that have stripped money and dignity from people all over the country — making sure the losses fall where they won't hurt much and the gains are shared fairly and helpfully. no one who thinks democrats are stalinists (or corrupt corporocrats) will believe in fairness until they see it happen to their own people.
Someone should sit Barton down to watch Apollo 13.
I think that politicians and Joe Barton are definitely people, and are defending themselves as much as anything.
I am advocating empathizing with them as a tactic. It's certainly something that every single one of us has the capacity to do. Haven't you ever been wrong in a public setting, and defended your wrong point way past the point of reason because you were embarrassed and didn't want to admit that you were wrong? I sure have!
And haven't you ever lost a lover or a job, or otherwise faced an adversity, and clung to a kind of weird, unhelpful, made-up viewpoint about the problem out of sheer fear? I sure have!
These people are not idiots. They are humans having human emotions that you've had too. Punishing and ostracizing them will make them stronger, and you (us) weaker.
Barack Obama actually offers lesson after lesson in how this works. He consistently gains strength by respecting and empathizing with his enemies, and at the same time he sucks away all the reasons that they have to oppose him–he makes them weak by empathizing with them. His graciousness is the primary reason that you can rightly say that conservatives have wandered far out into the weeds! Imagine how far we would get if regular people who care, like you and me, behaved with similar grace and equanimity. What would there be left to argue with?
Every single time anyone, including Joe Barton, is called a moron, we step a little bit further from the goal, because it becomes just that much harder to bring that person back, and we need them. We need everybody. We can't solve this problem by carving the world up into The Green Zone and Emittistan.
A more terrestrial example would be the one about the family who followed Homeland Security's advice on protection from chemical attacks and covered their home windows with plastic and duct tape only to asphyxiate themselves.
What I see in the conservatives that I work with is fear, mostly fear of being so wrong for so long. Lots of anger, too, a lot of it tied up with fear and denial.
It expresses itself in snickering and ridicule, but underlying all of it is fear. Fear of being wrong. Fear of not being one of the most special, smartest people in the world anymore, should dittohead in chief Rush turn out to be wrong.
Perhaps to reach conservatives we have to come up with a moral argument:
Shame on you for fouling your nest! Oh, the shame of it! We have sinned, and are now being punished! To repent we must make amends to the planet!
We are dealing with heavily propagandized, authoritarian people, who view the world in stark moral terms, and who are being misled by cunning paid propagandists.
I don't know how to get through to such people, other than by repeating the truth, appealing to their sense of shame, and pointing out that Rush Limbaugh's last 8 year contract was 400 million dollars – 50 million dollars per year.
Being "a friend to corporate America" pays pretty well, these days, I guess.
Regarding CO2 from breathing, our industrialized agriculture has in effect injected fossil carbon into our food – as transportation energy, fertilizer, and so on. Eating locally, growing a garden, and eating lower on the food chain by eating less meat are great ways to lower our carbon footprints, IMO.
Personal lifestyle changes are trivial compared to political involvement, though.
We need to seize the coal fired power plants, and forcibly transform them into advanced, more efficient carbon negative power plants, which combine biocarbon fuel, oxyfuel combustion, and carbon capture and storage.
Hey Leland,
Everyone's been wrong and acted stupid because of it before. And everyone's behaved irrationally out of fear before. Maybe this scales and maybe it doesn't. But I know that I am much more likely to drop my silliness when I am being stupid and/or irrational when I feel safe and respected.
Appealing to shame makes intuitive sense, but it also produces a lot of resistance. On the other hand, if environmentalists were telling the most compelling story about safety and were making every effort to respect the opponent, there would be nothing left to resist.
Joe Barton as a leading represntative of science by concensus party has an opinion that differs with fact. I can understand that Joe having been brought up to belive in big oil is scared that the cow will be moving on and his familar teat will be gone. So Joe will argue that CO2 is not a serious problem; waste product in the air we breath should be tolerated. I wonder it Joe believes that pissing in the punch bowl should be tolerated as well.
I measure co2 concertations for a range of purposes everyday at co2meter.com and see what is going on and I'm very concerned that we have a debate over the obvious this can be be measured by anyone including Joe.
Ray Hicks, President; CO2meter.com -
deborah i see your point but i don't think you can save me. i don't know how not to smack anyone who says they can't tell the difference between a pair of lungs and a blast furnace. this is not a partisan reaction. i take most rhetorical excesses in stride. but even monks and nuns have limits; if they didn't they wouldn't hide themselves for years to prepare for their next public appearance.
i will try. if you will promise not to lionize the current president. he's also human. his bread is buttered differently and better than joe barton's but still buttered.
I see what you're saying about lionizing Obama and didn't really intend to. I don't think he's superhuman, I just think he's got this one tactic down cold.
john ramming — I have little concern regarding sequestering CO2 in deep saline formations. Up to some limit the CO2 has a chemical affinity for the surroundings and so is most unlikely to leak. Just have to be sure not to force too much CO2 into each such formation. Fortunately, the US has an ample supply of such formations.

I have been told many times by clients that the initial search for a digital agency is a bewildering task. With so many to choose from, all with different specialities, expertise, and ways of working, I can appreciate the problem.
There are two things to consider at the outset: first is the process to follow to identify a likely agency, and second is the criterion to make the selection. The first of a two part article specifically addressing these areas is available for download below. It is intended as a helpful framework and pathway to getting it right and to gaining the maximum amount from the experience.

EDPS Annual Report 2011: a consistent and effective approach to privacy and data protection is needed
Today Peter Hustinx, European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS) and Giovanni Buttarelli, Assistant Supervisor, presented their Annual Report of activities for 2011 to the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs (LIBE) of the European Parliament. This Report covers the seventh full year of activity of the EDPS as an independent supervisory body.
In 2011, the EDPS made significant efforts to push the effective protection of personal data. In the supervision of EU institutions and bodies, a benchmarking exercise was carried out to gather indicators of compliance with the Data Protection Regulation. As a consequence, targeted visits to selected institutions and agencies below the benchmark or because of a lack of cooperation are now taking place throughout 2012. Overall, the effects of the new EDPS enforcement policy showed that most EU institutions and bodies are making good progress in complying with the Regulation, while others should increase their efforts.
In the consultation on new legislative measures, the EDPS issued a record number of opinions on a range of relevant subjects. Most prominent was the Review of the EU legal framework for data protection, which will remain high on the EDPS agenda in 2012. However, the implementation of the Stockholm programme in the area of freedom, security and justice and the Digital Agenda, as the cornerstone for the Europe 2020 strategy, also had an impact on data protection. This can also be said of new EU law as a consequence of the financial crisis, and a wide variety of other policy areas.
Peter Hustinx, the EDPS, says: "2011 was a very productive year, in line with our efforts to ensure consistent and effective protection of privacy and personal data in a fast-changing, interconnected world. In its support of technological advances and economic development, particularly in an age of austerity, it is important that the EU administration does not lose sight of the right of the European citizen to privacy and data protection. Only a joint effort to apply a consistent and effective approach will maintain this fundamental right."
The main priorities for the EDPS in 2012 include:
Raising awareness: The EDPS will invest time and resources in providing guidance to EU institutions and agencies in the form of thematic guidelines, training and workshops and the development of a dedicated section on the EDPS website for Data Protection Officers (DPOs).
Defining procedures for handling notifications related to standard administrative procedures or to processing operations already in operation.
An exercise to determine the state of play for DPOs in EU institutions and bodies in order to provide support for the DPO function in line with the accountability principle.
Visits and inspections to institutions and agencies, not only for enforcement, but also as a tool to raise awareness of data protection issues and the role of the EDPS.
In his capacity as advisor, the EDPS will give priority in 2012 to the on-going work on the legal framework for data protection in the EU.
Technological developments, especially those connected to the Internet and associated policies, will be another area of focus. This involves plans for a Pan-European framework for electronic identification, authentication and signature; the issue of Internet monitoring (e.g. enforcement of IP rights, takedown procedures), cloud computing services and eHealth. The EDPS will also strengthen his technological expertise and engage in research on privacy-enhancing technologies.
Further developing the Area of Freedom, Security and Justice (e.g. EU-TFTS, Smart borders) and financial sector reform insofar as they affect the right to privacy and data protection will continue to be followed and scrutinised by the EDPS.
The EDPS will also continue to fulfil his responsibilities in the field of coordinated supervision and reach out to national data protection authorities as well as to international organisations in order to raise awareness and share good practices.
EDPS key figures in 2011 71 prior-check opinions adopted, 6 non prior check opinions 107 complaints received, 26 admissible Main types of violations alleged: violation of confidentiality of data, excessive collection of data or illegal use of data by the controller 34 consultations on administrative measures. Advice was given on a wide range of legal aspects related to the processing of personal data conducted by the EU institutions and bodies 4 on-the-spot inspections carried out 2 guidelines published on anti-harassment procedures and evaluation of staff 24 legislative opinions issued on, among others, initiatives relating to the Area of Freedom, Security and Justice, technological developments, international cooperation, data transfers, or internal market. 12 sets of formal comments issued on, among others, intellectual property rights, civil aviation security, EU criminal policy, the Terrorist Finance Tracking System, energy efficiency, or the Rights and Citizenship Programme. 41 sets of informal comments 14 new colleagues recruited |

People will tell you that everything changes in a marriage after you have a baby, and mostly that's true. But it's not all bad! Yes, that new little person in your lives alters how you see each other (and the world) in copious and profound ways. And yet, there's a constant: Your husband is always going to be that same man -- your best friend and confidante -- you fell in love with before a certain egg was fertilized, and that's a good thing. Here's what happens to many couples when baby's on board.
The first signs of the conjugal bed turning into the family bed start when your pregnant belly starts to encroach on your husband's side. But once baby arrives, this once-cozy place turns into a hub of activity involving one very needy third party. In the beginning you're likely either nursing in bed or abandoning your husband there to snooze in the rocker. Even if you swore you'd never co-sleep, chances are good that baby will end up in the bed with one or both of you. Either way, your bed is not what it used to be.

HARD hat in hand, a motorcycle messenger strode into the beehive-like Park Avenue office of Fidelity Investments earlier this month. He went directly to a multi-colored video display terminal, punched a few numbers into a keyboard, looked up at the screen and walked away smiling.
Most of the other 1,500 people who visit the ground-floor office every day (even on Sundays) are pinstripe types - executives who work in the surrounding skyscrapers.
Like the messenger, many are there to check up on their investments in Fidelity's more than 100 mutual funds. Others collect brochures, drop off deposits, call in orders or discuss investments - everything from individual retirement accounts and stock funds to bond and money-market funds - with one of 36 sales representatives.
Opened last November, the deluxe Park Avenue office is a world removed from Fidelity's low-cost past, when, like other fund operators, it relied on direct mail or a few newspaper ads to market its wares.
Other big fund operators are shifting their selling strategies, too, in an effort to make their mutual funds stand out in an increasingly crowded field. ''Everyone's trying to get closer to the consumer,'' said Michael L. Goldstein, an analyst with Sanford C. Bernstein & Company.
