Why Be a Beachbody Coach?
So you have heard about this Beachbody Coach thing but you wonder why on earth would I want to do it? Do you even know what a Beachbody Coach is? What do they do? Why would you want to spend your time taking part in this business? I hear this all the time. I get questions asked to me about what the coaching opportunity is and people really want to do for them. People ask about how much time it will take them, how much money it will cost them, if they are qualified, what exactly they have to do, and is it something they are up for. Well, I am here to take the time to answer some of those questions.
What is a Beachbody Coach? First off, a Beachbody Coach, according to me, is someone who is there to help, support, motivate and assist others through their fitness and health journey. We are not necessarily nutritional experts, we are not trainers (though may be) but we are people that are doing or have done Beachbody workout programs like P90X, P90X2, INSANITY, TurboFire, Les Mills PUMP and many others and can help others through those same programs. We are there to motivate YOU! We are there to support YOU! We want you to succeed like we have. We are just like YOU! That is why we can help you.
What do Beachbody Coaches Do? We spend our time building relationships with our friends, coworkers, family and even strangers telling our story about our success with Beachbody programs and supplements. I'm sure like me you have had some great success with Beachbody programs and you have told many people about it. As a coach you will continue to tell your story but when you tell your story you will notice that your friends will want to buy these products as well so they can join in on the success that you got. All you need to do is have your friends purchase the products through your website. Simple as that. You do nothing differently, you continue to tell your story as you have been but this time, you get a 25% commission when your friends or family buy the products that many I'm sure have already been wanting to try. There are many other ways to earn commission but that is the easiest way to get started quickly.
Why would you want to spend your time doing this? Well, this is easy. Why would you not want to help other people? As a human being, we get the greatest satisfaction helping other people. Doesn't it feel great when you have other people thanking you for helping them? Is it not the most wonderful feeling when you get a thank you letter, or these days, a thank you email? Well, I can tell you that after only a year of being a Beachbody Coach I have gotten more thank you's than I can count. People are so thankful that you put them in a group with others doing the same thing they are, they are thankful that you hold them accountable, they are thankful for support, they are thankful that you simply care about them, and they are thankful that you are there for them when maybe someone else isn't. Being a Beachbody Coach just makes you realize that you are a needed person and who doesn't want to be needed?
Do you have enough time to be a Beachbody Coach? Of course you do. We all have 24 hours in the day. It doesn't matter if you don't work, do work, have kids, have no kids, work nights, work days, work weekends, work 2 jobs, 3 jobs, or have the busiest life possible, we all have time for this. What matters is how much time you are willing to put into building your business. The more time you are willing to put in the more you will get out of it. Some people put in only 30 minutes a day and some work this business full time. It doesn't matter as long as you work it a little bit everyday. I sometimes work 1o hours today at my full time job and I can do it. As soon as I get home I turn on my laptop and sit down to do some Beachbody work. I have yet to eat dinner, have yet to workout but trust me, it will get done. My main priority right now is this business (edit: my 6 month old son). I will get it all done though because I am determined. All that matters is that I get everything done tonight and it doesn't matter what time I get to bed as long as I get it all accomplished. Did I mention I have a newborn in the house? He will sometimes be in my arms while I am working this business.
How much does it cost? Well, not much at all. First off, you get a 25% discount on ALL Beachbody products when you become a coach, awesome! The monthly fee to be a coach is only $15.95 and the start up fee for the first month is only $39.95. That first month's fee will be waived if you order a Challenge Pack too. Challenge Pack's are fantastic deals and I suggest to anyone signing up to purchase one. Not only is the price fantastic but you will get another workout program to add to your library plus Shakeology (yum!) and a 30 day trial to the Beachbody Club membership, something all coaches should definitely know about if you want to help your clients. If you were to breakdown the cost of buying the products separately vs in the Challenge Pack you will see it is much cheaper to get it in a Challenge Pack given that they startup fee is waived.
Extras? Heck yeah! Beachbody offers the coolest extras all year long to coaches. I have earned the greatest swag since becoming a coach. I have gotten free shirts, hats, duffle bags, and other great goodies just by doing a great job at being a Coach. Also, I earned the Success Club trip to the Atlantis in the Bahamas this year and had the most amazing time. Yes, free trip to the Bahamas. Next years trip is to DisneyWorld and I have earned that trip too, for free, so maybe I will see you there! There is an annual Coach Summit that everyone is invited to that is amazing. This year it was in Las Vegas in June and it was amazing. All of the celebrity trainers are there so what a great opportunity to workout with Tony, Shaun T and Chalene.
So, did I explain it well? Are you convinced it is a great gig? Oh, I forgot one thing. You earn money by being a coach. It is funny that I forgot about this. It is the least important reason to me for signing up to be a coach. It is not the reason I did it. I signed up for the discount on the products, not for the commision I earn. But, if you want to earn some money on the side this is the way to go. There are people who earn some great cash and people who live off of being a Beachbody Coach. Yes, I mean this is their full time job. You can do it too. People earn a six figure income, pay off houses, cars and live a dream life from this gig, you can too!

I like the idea of working myself out of a job, and my kiddos like it, too, when it means exercising creativity and independence. Lately, they have taken great pride in making their own lunch and/or snacks. Peanut Butter Honey Roll-ups are always a winner because they can do it themselves, and they each can make their favorite variation.
Peanut Butter Honey Roll-ups
- flour tortillas
- peanut butter
- honey
- cinnamon
Spread peanut butter on a tortilla. Drizzle with honey. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Roll up and enjoy!
Just like a sandwich with many different toppings, there are lots of ways to make a peanut butter roll-up suit your taste!
Roll-up Variations
1. Go bananas. Add banana slices, or roll it up around a whole banana.
2. Apple cinnamon. Add thinly sliced apples. (Yes, I sliced the apples.)
3. S'mores. Add chocolate chips and marshmallows.
4. Cinnamon raisin. Add raisins or craisins to the mix. (Ooo, chocolate covered raisins would be good, too!)
The same idea would work with cream cheese and veggies, but we're on a peanut butter kick right now. What other variations should we try?
Linked to Tasty Tuesday.

CIA nominee heckled at Senate hearing
Anti-war protesters disrupt John Brennan's Senate hearing. photograph: getty
Q: Just what did John Brennan know about torture under Bush?
This week saw John Brennan getting a tough ride during Senate hearings into his nomination as Barack Obama's next director of the Central Intelligence Agency, the US civilian-based agency for information gathering, overt and covert.
Brennan, a 57-year-old Irish-American, is already a veteran of the agency having spent some 25 years there, and so congressmen and women were keen to know, as the old adage has it, "what did he know and when did he know it?" during George Bush's war on terror.
In 2002, Brennan was deputy to the agency's No 3 when interrogators used waterboarding – the technique of placing a wet cloth over a person's face and pouring water on them to simulate drowning.
A trail of emails suggests that Brennan knew of the technique. He says he did not. In the eyes of most people, waterboarding amounts to torture. Brennan declined to use the term this week, reaching instead for legal niceties while accepting the practice was "reprehensible" and "something that should not be done".
Brennan also supported the practice of "extraordinary rendition", the policy of moving detainees whom the CIA wanted to question to secret locations in jurisdictions where legal restraints to interrogation were not observed.
In the Obama administration, Brennan has been deputy national security adviser for homeland security and counterterrorism.
His job has been to protect the US from terrorism and respond to natural disasters, in which role he has dealt with the president directly and on a daily basis. He was closely involved in the hunt for Osama bin Laden (he's top right in that famous situation room photo of the president and his team as the navy seals killed bin Laden) and in the administration's election-clinching response to Hurricane Sandy.
Like his current president, Brennan is a strong supporter of the use of drones – the unmanned aircraft controlled from afar and used to bomb suspects to lethal effect. Opponents question the legality and morality of drones.
This week, US media claimed to have located a hitherto unconfirmed drone base deep in the Saudi desert close to the border with Yemen.
The disclosure came as a UN report asserted that hundreds of children had been killed by drones in the past four years. The Geneva-based Committee on the Rights of the Child told the United States it was "alarmed at reports of the death of hundreds of children as a result of attacks and air strikes by the US military forces in Afghanistan". "Drones fly, Children die!" proclaimed a poster held up by one woman as Senate intelligence committee chairwoman Dianne Feinstein sought to get this week's hearing under way. Protesters from the peace group Code Pink began shouting at Brennan: "Assassination is against the constitution!"
After the fifth interruption, Feinstein temporarily stopped the hearing. Pressed on what he knew and when regarding conflicting accounts about the CIA's treatment of detainees, Brennan responded: "At this point, Senator, I do not know what the truth is."

The CNS was adopted in June 1994. The Convention was drawn up during a series of expert level meetings from 1992 to 1994 and was the result of considerable work by Governments, national nuclear safety authorities and the International Atomic Energy Agency's Secretariat.
CNS' aim is to legally commit participating States operating land-based nuclear power plants to maintain a high level of safety by setting international benchmarks to which States would subscribe.
AERB chief who is also a member of the International Safety Group (INSAG), an advisory body, said the Group will give a presentation for the benefit of countries going for nuclear power programme for the first time and also improve
According to IAEA, the obligations of the countries are based to a large extent on the principles contained in the IAEA Safety Fundamentals document "The Safety of Nuclear Installations".
These obligations cover for instance, siting, design, construction, operation, the availability of adequate financial and human resources, the assessment and verification of safety, quality assurance and emergency preparedness, IAEA said.
The Convention obliges countries to submit reports on the implementation of their obligations for "peer review" at meetings of the countries to be held at the IAEA. This mechanism is the main innovative and dynamic element of the

Popular Khar restaurant comes to South Mumbai
Carter's Blue moves beyond the suburbs, opening its doors in Fort, to whip up robust Middle Eastern fare
Carter's Blue
Food: Above average
Service: Can do better
Ambiance: Cosy
A night-out in South Mumbai often weighs heavy on the wallet, until you stumble upon Carter's Blue in this swish area. Located in a by-lane off Kala Ghoda, this eatery enjoys an enviable pin code. We are greeted at the entrance by a rotisserie where meat is barbecued for the shawarma, one the hottest selling items at Carter's Blue.
The Pesto Hummus with Pita Bread was a winner. Pics/Pradeep Dhivar
The restaurant is a cosy joint in subtle hues — cream colour scheme for the walls, wooden chairs painted in white and blue, quaint lamps, and quirky detailing like cushions with prints of Indian maharajas in the bar at the end of the restaurant. We liked what we saw, minus the fact that the floor was a tad messy and a piece of tomato got wedged in our shoe!
We chose a corner table and waited for a friend to arrive, but in about 15 minutes, servers come to our table, twice, rushing us to order. This occurred despite the fact that two tables lied unoccupied at the restaurant. Feeling the pressure, we sifted through the menu where we were pleasantly surprised to find that it was possible for a trio to enjoy a hearty meal (sans alcohol), for under a grand.
The healthy Tabuli Salad was high on lemon
Mediterranean cruise
The exhaustive menu covered Lebanese (Mediterranean), Mughlai and Chinese cuisine. We started with the healthy Tabuli Salad (Rs 170, tax-inclusive, minus service charge). Traditionally, in the Arabic world, the dish contains couscous but is usually loaded with green parsley and mint. The dish served here had an excess of healthy couscous but with limited greens, as also rather sparse use of tomatoes. The taste of ingredients was washed out by the excessive use of lemon.
We moved on to the Pesto Hummus with Pita Bread (Rs 170). The dish was like no hummus we've seen before — the hummus was green due to the pita flavouring. But don't judge this dish by its colour; dip in and you know its chickpeas you're eating, with the added tanginess of pesto. The sauce gives hummus a bite that won over our Indian palate.
Next up, the Chicken Arabic Shawarma (Rs 150) arrived. For the uninitiated, the dish felt the need to scream of its Arab roots, but we were surprised to find that bits of meat had a hint of tandoor colouring. That said, we enjoyed this dish served with garlic sauce.
We then decided to move to the more sumptuous dishes listed under the 'Lebanese Chicken' section of the menu. But, just after 9.15 pm, those dishes were wiped out. Our advice: to enjoy the full menu, drop by for lunch or an early dinner. We packed away a few vegetarian starters, Arabian Bitwan Paneer (Rs 250), which was more Indian than Arabic with grilled paneer with vegetables. The paneer was succulent and the portions were large.
Veggie delights, too
The Falafel Shawarma, (Rs 130), was filling and mildly spiced. Although, the name was a bit misleading as shawarma refers to a meat preparation, while falafel is a fried vegetarian ball or patty. This dish was strictly vegetarian and mildly spiced, as we like it. Our take-away had packaging that ensured there were no food spills despite the hour-long drive. Overall, Carter's Blue offers you a chance to enjoy Arabic fare, with an Indian twist, at prices that are a steal. It's worth a visit, but it should pay attention to detail — starting with printing the correct number on the billing slip!
Time: 12 pm to 12 am
At: 12 Bake House Lane, Kala Ghoda, Fort.
Call: 40069777

Aware in different languages
The AWARE team made a short video to emphasise the need for international collaboration on animal welfare. Please have a look and share it with others!
The goal of the Coordination and Support Action of the 7th Framework Programme AWARE was to promote integration and increase the impact of European research on farm animal welfare (FAW). It was done through the development of Europe-wide networks of scientists, lecturers and students, and by establishing a network of stakeholders active in FAW knowledge transfer and implementation.
AWARE actions were organised in 4 mutually supportive Work Packages (WPs):
- WP 1 "Research" enhanced the integration of FAW research by fostering collaboration based on mutual recognition and by enhancing networking and proposal writing skills in motivated researchers throughout the enlarged Europe.
- WP 2 "Education" promoted cross-fertilisation in FAW university education, thus enhancing opportunities for young scientists in new and candidate countries to start research in FAW.
- WP 3 "Awareness and Implementation" focused on enhancing public awareness, promoting implementation of EU policies, and facilitating uptake of FAW research.
- WP 4 "Mobility Desk" facilitated mobility of researchers and students.
Participants of the kick off meeting in Prague, March 22-23 2011
First 3 Work Packages proceed in 4 steps:
- Mapping
- Establishing networks
- Improving skills
- Developing strategies for ongoing integration
Two horizontal activities support the WP's:
- The Communication module supports internal and external communication;
- Management takes care of project management and effective communication with the Commission.
AWARE increased the European research capacity in FAW activities, through integrating the underutilized human and knowledge potential in the new and candidate countries.
The project was planned to result in faster and more comprehensive FAW knowledge transfer across Europe.
It also built for the future by drawing young scientists into FAW research and providing a base for harmonized implementation of FAW legislation in the enlarged EU.

I don't normally give vintage maps that I've digitally restored their own blog post, but this one is just too amazing not to share in full detail. It's an absolutely stunning bird's-eye view of central Chicago in 1898 – just one year after the opening of the elevated Union Loop – and it has some of the most intricate detail that I've ever seen in one of these maps. Every building, factory, railroad station, streetcar, train, horse, tree and lamp post in the city seems to be shown with absolute precision and clarity.
Prints for sale from $29 Zoomable Preview of Map
It helps that the original map (sourced from the Library of Congress maps collection) is huge, measuring some 37 inches high by 57 inches wide. It's so large that I suspect that the original engraving was done on multiple separate metal plates that were then joined together on the press for printing: there are areas where the linework abruptly ends at an edge or doesn't quite line up with what's next to it. Here's a few of my favourite details from the map:
Dearborn Station (built 1885) with its original steeply-pitched clock tower and headhouse roofs. The main building still survives as office and retail space, while the land once occupied by the main shed and yard is now Dearborn Park.
The elevated Madison/Wells station, demolished in 1994 along with the adjacent Randolph/Wells to be replaced by the current Washington/Wells station. Note the extensive connecting streetcar services, including multiple car trainsets.
The elevated wye at Van Buren and Wabash streets, with the original State/Van Buren station (closed 1973, demolished 1975, rebuilt and reopened as Harold Washington Library – State/Van Buren in 1997) at the top of the image and the old Congress/Wabash station (demolished 1949) to the left. Streetcars running along Wabash underneath the El can be seen.
Restoration of this map included piecing together the four separate parts of the original map as best as possible, a lot of age spot cleaning and cloning and the usual brightening and sharpening of the scan.

A landowner in Gotland, Sweden made "an amazing find" of over 600 silver coins, jewelry and an axe, dating to the 12th century, while excavating on his land recently.
Experts are evaluating the coins for their value. "It's unbelievable that treasures of this scale exists here on Gotland," said Marie Louise Hellquist of Gotland's County Administrative Board.

Yesterday, three federal immigration agents were shot and wounded in Petaluma while taking part in one of multiple raids around the Bay Area. The sweep was related to a 2010 gang-related triple homicide in South San Francisco. The agents were part of a SWAT team, and they were executing what ICE called a "high-risk warrant."
Yesterday, KQED's Nina Thorsen asked Andrew Becker, who writes about immigration issues for California Watch, how typical it is for ICE agents to be involved in dangerous enforcement actions.
KQED's NINA THORSEN: Do you see this as an exceptional case, in terms of what you've been reporting about ICE?
CALIFORNIA WATCH'S ANDREW BECKER: The team of ICE agents that went in were part of essentially a SWAT team, what they call a special response team. And so this is a high-risk situation where there's some expectation that they could be in a potentially dangerous situation.
But these agents are highly trained, this is a specialized unit, and to receive fire back is not a common occurrence.
On average, based on statistics that we received through the Freedom of Information Act, being involved in an operation in which there's gunfire is on average a monthly occurrence.
THORSEN: And what kind of other cases is this high-risk team normally working on? What's their usual area of focus?
BECKER: Well, there are really two main arms to Immigrations and Customs Enforcement. There's what they call homeland security investigations, and there is enforcement and removal operations. The homeland security part, as the name suggests, does complex investigations — everything from drug trafficking and human smuggling to weapons proliferation and even intellectual property rights. They are the second largest contributor to the nationwide joint terrorism task force, which is run by the FBI. So they enforce a wide variety of laws, and in a number of situations in which they're executing a search warrant or trying to arrest someone, those could potentially be a dangerous situation.
The other arm is ICE engages in enforcement and removal operations, focussing on immigration enforcement, and in those cases they're also out often doing early-morning operations like the one in Petaluma. The immigration enforcement arm does what's called fugitive operations, where they're looking for people who may have been ordered out of the country but haven't shown up to be deported, or haven't shown up for a court appearance, or things like that.
Oftentimes the agency says they're focussed on going after people who have criminal records, who they believe should be removed from the country or have, in fact, been ordered removed from the country.
So, it's different sides of the house for them, but either side can find themselves in these kind of situations.
THORSEN: And this being in a mixed-residential neighborhood in the early morning hours — is that a typical time and place to conduct this type of operation?
BECKER: I think location can vary, but certainly it's pretty typical that they're going to go in early in the morning when they've done their surveillance, they've gathered their intelligence and they believe that person is going to be at that location. Doesn't always work out that the person they're targeting is at that home. They've had instances where they've gone to the wrong house. But this is pretty common for ICE and even law enforcement in general.
THORSEN: Can you summarize some of the other recent incidents involving ICE agents?
BECKER: There have been a number of shootings recently involving ICE agents. Some of them are not related to work. There was a shooting Wednesday night in Los Angeles involving another homeland security investigation agent who was killed in his home. His 14-year-old son has been taken into custody, but details are pretty limited in that case.
Earlier this year, in Long Beach, there was a workplace shooting involving three agents. Two agents had gotten into a dispute, one agent with a supervisor. He shot his supervisor, and in turn another agent came in and shot and killed the first agent who had done the shooting.
And then there was a very high-profile case last year involving two Homeland Security investigations agents who were on assignment in Mexico who had been, essentially, ambushed at a roadblock in between Monterrey and Mexico City. One agent was killed in the shooting and another was injured.
ICE has roughly around 20,000 employees, give or take. About 13,000 of them are issued guns. So, again, this is law enforcement. It's an agency that, really on either side of the house, frequently comes in contact with a lot of people that the Obama administration has been very focussed on removing; what they call criminal aliens, who have criminal records and who have been ordered deported.
That has really been the focus of this administration — to get them out of the country. And in those cases, sometimes people are in custody, and it's a pretty smooth transition or process to remove them. Other times, some individuals are on the lam, and they have to conduct operations like this.

In Windows 8 DirectX 11 is now part of the Windows SDK. However, the Win8 version does not ship with some deprecated code like the D3DX11 library. Therefore, to get the book's samples up and running with little modification, we need to install the June 2010 SDK. The official steps are outlined in this MSDN article:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library … 63275.aspx
However, below is a simplified step-by-step guide using the "Sprites and Text" sample from here: http://d3dcoder.net/resources.htm
1. Install Visual Studio 2012 Express for Windows Desktop
2. Download and install the June 2010 SDK (we needs this for D3DX11 stuff).
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download … px?id=6812
If you rework the samples to not use D3DX11, then you could skip this step. See (http://d3dcoder.net/Data/Resources/d3d11Metro.pdf). Also, you can still use Effects11 without the June 2010 SDK, but you need to download the latest version from here:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/chuckw/archive/ … pdate.aspx
This version removed the dependency on D3DX11. Therefore, the only real work to be done to not depend on the old SDK is to remove the D3DX11 texture loading code, and port to DirectXTex (http://directxtex.codeplex.com/).
3. Whichever version of Effects11 you use, you need to rebuild it with VS 2012 in debug and release to get VS 2012 versions of Effects11d.lib and Effects11.lib. Move these to the book's "Common" directory.
4. Setup paths in VS 2012 to the June DirectX SDK, just like you did in VS 2010, as outlined in the book. However, it is important that the Windows SDK path comes first, so put the DXSDK references after the defaults:
Executable Directories $(ExecutablePath);$(DXSDK_DIR)Utilities\bin\x86
Include Directories $(IncludePath);$(DXSDK_DIR)Include
Library Directories $(LibraryPath);$(DXSDK_DIR)Lib\x86
5. We need to replace all lines
#include <d3dx11.h>
with the following so that the right headers get included (the Win8 ones instead of the June 2010 ones):
#include <d3d11.h>
#include <dxgi.h>
#include <d3dx11.h>
In most of the book demos, this just has to be done in d3dUtil.h.
6. Compile/Build.

The real quote is a Chinese proverb that says: "Give me a fish and I eat today; teach me to fish and I eat for a lifetime."
It is always best, in my experience, to show someone how to do something, but not to do it for them.
"Fish Slap" has become a metaphor in the blogosphere, from whomever started it — I can't find an attribution. A "fish slap" is a mash-up of the Monty Python skit and the proverb. So, if someone gives you hints about how to do something, but does not tell you how to do it, you can give them a fish slap. i.e., you did not hand me a fish; I figured it out myself!
Here's the fun Monty Python bit: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-2002541459944162494
But if you aren't a Monty Python fan, just remember the proverb.

TISA x NHL "Chicago Blackhawks" Snapback Cap
Posted by Varsity, July 18th, 2012 01:07 am under NHL
Let's take a look at one of TISA's newest releases. Their NHL Chicago Blackhawks snapback combines the new up-to-date look of snapbacks, and the vintage appeal and design of that of snapbacks from "back in the day." On the front of the cap is an old school Blackhawks embroidery design. The OG team color-way remains, and so does the moderately-slanted style of the cap. Check out alternate views of the cap and it's other patches below.

Elk soup for cheap in the center of town Aug 29, 2012
Upon arriving at my hostel and checking in, I was introduced to a few people about to head out for a bite to eat. I put my backpack up and joined them. I had only walked from the bus stop to the hostel so this was kind of my introduction to Tallinn. We went right to the town square and ducked into the little restaurant at the base of the town hall. There was an older lady in full costume serving elk stew and elk pasties. The stew was 2 euro and the pasties were 1. She had a light and dark beer on tap as well. The atmosphere was very cave like and dark, obviously trying to set the mood. We were served out of earthenware bowls without silverware. We were forced to sing or perform a skit if we wanted a spoon! I didn't really want one but felt the need to perform nonetheless. The lady was great to talk to and she spoke 3 or 4 different languages.

New York City to be First Major City in the Country to Create Innovation Index to Track Performance in Key Areas like VC Investment, Patents, Federal Research Grants and Related Jobs
Mayor Bloomberg's Remarks as Prepared Follow:
"Thank you, Martin, and good evening.
"It's an honor to be part of such a distinguished program – and with the parade of stars you've heard from today, you may be wondering why I'm the big finish. Well, did Alan Simpson have a role in the new Matt Damon movie – for 8 seconds? (If you see the movie – don't blink.) Did Hernando de Soto write a book called "Bloomberg by Bloomberg" that is currently 341,125 on the Amazon.com list? And I don't remember George Schultz meeting Beyonce and Lady Gaga. So here I am.
"It's great to be at a university founded by a New Yorker. That's correct – Leland Stanford, for those of you who may not know, was born in Watervliet, New York – right outside of Albany, our state capital. (And if any of you have been following Albany politics in recent years, you understand just how smart he was to leave when he did.)
"Leland Stanford did what many bright, ambitious people of his generation did: they went West. They went in search of opportunity, work, and the next big thing. That's the history of America over the past two centuries – from the railroads, to the gold rushes, to the oil booms, to the technology revolution. When Americans looked ahead, they looked West, with one, very large exception: New York City.
"New York has always been a frontier town: a place of promise and possibility, a place where people go in search of a better life. The millions who pull up stakes to come to our city usually arrive with little more than the capacity for hope and hard work. That was true of my ancestors – and it is true today.
"Tonight, I'd like to talk a little bit about what it means to be a frontier town in the 21st century, and what we are doing to continue attracting the pioneers who will explore it and redefine it. That includes many of you here in this room.
"Let me begin by putting the dimensions of the new frontier in context. When I graduated from college in 1964 – I know what you're thinking, 'He looks so much younger!' – the World's Fair was in New York City. And one of the big attractions was a technological breakthrough developed by Sony: The world's first electronic, desktop calculator. It took until the 1970s for the pocket calculator to arrive, another decade for the home computer to enter the mainstream, and almost two decades for cell phones to become common.
"But today, the pace of innovation is moving so fast that when today's seniors were freshman, 'apps' were still something you ordered before dinner. Now, we can hardly remember how we survived without Shazam and Angry Birds – or how we delivered speeches without iPads.
"A student graduating from Stanford this spring literally has the world at his or her fingertips. And many seniors are looking for jobs that did not even exist when they first arrived on campus. Markets are moving at an unprecedented pace, because the pace of technological innovation is speeding up by the minute. And that will not change.
"It's an incredibly exciting time, not just to be young, but to be an innovator of any age. The opportunities are endless, and the more today's pioneers forge ahead, the wider the frontiers become.
"In this new age of innovation, the question for cities and countries is a simple one: How do you attract more pioneers?
"I believe the answer starts with creating a place where people want to live and work. That means safe streets, quality public schools, beautiful parks, and exciting art and cultural opportunities. That has been priority number one for us in New York – and in every category, we've made huge gains. Cities with a great quality of life – like New York and San Francisco – give their companies a substantial competitive advantage in the market for global talent, and I've always believed that talent attracts capital more effectively than capital attracts talent.
"Creating a great place to live and work is just one part of our strategy to attract more pioneers. We are also taking huge swaths of old industrial land that had been ignored for decades and opening it up to new private investment, especially along our waterfront. New York actually has 520 miles of waterfront, which is more than San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, and Chicago – combined. (Not that I'm bragging – a New Yorker would never do that.) Some of that underused waterfront is on the Far West Side of Manhattan, which is full of old warehouses and train yards right now. So we're building a subway expansion to the area – the first new subway track to be funded by the City in more than 50 years. It will open up Manhattan's last physical frontier to enormous amounts of new commercial and housing development – and help attract the next wave of innovative companies.
"We are also working to make one of our strongest talent magnets even more powerful: our universities. Believe it or not, New York City is America's largest college town, with more than 600,000 post-secondary students. We have more college students than Boston has people – and we're still growing. Right now, New York University, Fordham University, the City University of New York, and Columbia University are all in the midst of major expansions, and Columbia's huge new biomedical research campus is going to make it an even bigger player in a field that keeps growing.
"But we want our universities to grow even more – and we want to be sure that one field, in particular, helps lead the way: engineering and applied sciences. I was an electric engineering major at Johns Hopkins. I actually started out as a physics major, but there was a German language requirement, and I said, 'Danke, but no Danke.' Even though I didn't go on to practice engineering, I never could have built my company without some very talented computer engineers. And of course, most companies today that produce something – even if it only exists in cyberspace – rely heavily on engineers.
"Engineering and the applied sciences will continue to be enormously important drivers of the innovation economy – and as everyone in Silicon Valley knows, where innovation occurs, job growth follows. We want more of those innovations, and more of those jobs, to be in New York City. And so we are offering the world's great universities a simple proposition: Build a world-class engineering or applied sciences research center – and we'll work with you to provide the land, as well as some of the funding.
"This may be one of the best deals for higher education since the federal government passed the Morrill Act in 1862, establishing a land grant program for new universities. The Morrill Act was intended to promote innovation and expertise in agriculture and engineering – because Congress recognized those fields were critical to the nation's economic growth. Today, New York City is taking the same approach on a micro-level – and we are very optimistic about the potential upside.
"If you're wondering why a university might open a satellite campus in New York City, just ask Cornell. Cornell is about 200 miles northwest of New York City – but years ago they decided to build a world-class medical school on the East Side of Manhattan: the Weill-Cornell Medical Center. And they would tell you it's one of the best decisions they've ever made. As economic success becomes increasingly correlated with talent and intellectual property, universities become more valuable than ever.
"The initial response we've gotten from universities has been very encouraging.
"We're particularly pleased that Stanford – which has a top-flight engineering school – is considering the idea. And why not? It's a phenomenal, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a world-class university to get a toe-hold in the world's greatest city.
"The offer we are making to universities is just one part of the work that we're doing to foster an innovation economy. When the financial crisis hit in 2008, a lot of people predicted a lot of negative things for New York. After all, they said, this is the financial capital of the world and this is the worst financial crisis in more than 80 years. And for as long as anyone could remember, when Wall Street sneezed, New York City got a cold. As you know, losing Lehman Brothers and Bear Stearns was a lot more than a sneeze.
"My response – and people were skeptical when I said this on the day Lehman went under – was that no matter what we were about to face, I would rather have New York's hand to play than any other city's. And in fact, we weathered the collapse on Wall Street and the national recession better than anyone expected – because our economy has grown more diversified than most people realize.
"Last year, we even led the nation in job growth – and despite what you might guess, none of that job growth came in the finance sector. It's come from the industries that are driving the innovation economy, like information technology, education, and health care.
"People think of us as a world financial capital – and we are. But we are also a fashion capital – with more than twice as many fashion houses as Paris. We are a health care capital – with some of the finest hospitals in the world. We are also increasingly a capital for bioscience research and development, an industry we have made large investments in. We are a cultural capital – which is the main reason why we have topped Las Vegas and Orlando in tourism for the past two years. And we are a media capital – not just print and television, but electronic media too. Google bought a square-block building. Facebook is expanding in New York. And Microsoft has 2,000 employees there.
"These businesses – and businesses like Bloomberg and Reuters – are all growing. And I believe that it is only a matter of time before New York City becomes the IT capital of the world. We'll get there because – more and more – we are also a technology start-up capital. We're now the number two recipient of VC funding for tech startups, having passed Boston last year.
"I know how hard it is to start a company – how many obstacles you have to overcome, not to mention all the doubters you have to ignore. The venture capital community knows how risky it can be – but also how good ideas tend to grow out of face-to-face communication and collaboration among fellow entrepreneurs. To encourage more of that communication – and to help entrepreneurs deal with one of the biggest challenges they face: the cost of real estate – we've created incubators in a range of industries. The incubators – which are generally partnerships between the City and the private sector or universities – provide discounted office space as well as some administrative support. That lets innovators do what they do best – focus on commercializing their ideas.
"We're also supporting start-ups with something else they find pretty helpful – capital. Taking a page from Silicon Valley, last year we created the NYC Entrepreneurial Fund. It combines City money with private venture capital to make investments in some of the most promising early-stage companies in the city. It's the first public-private fund of its kind outside of Silicon Valley – and it's an example of how we're determined to find new ways to promote innovation.
"Anecdotally, we know there has been a big uptick in innovation activity in New York City, but now we're also seeking to quantify our progress. By partnering with academia and venture capitalists, we'll become the first major city in the country to create an Innovation Index. The index will track New York City's performance in a number of key areas, including VC investment, federal research grants received, employment in the fields of science and engineering, new patents and the commercialization of technology emerging from our local universities. This data will help us focus our efforts around innovation, and refine the strategies and policies we use to promote it.
"The work that we're doing to fuel innovation and entrepreneurship will help bring new companies to life – and one of them may even be the next Google. But the reality is, if we don't fix our country's broken immigration system, the next Google won't be starting anywhere in America. Like so many of the new companies that define the 21st century economy, Google was co-founded by an immigrant. In fact, studies show immigrants are more than twice as likely as native-born Americans to start companies. Immigrants also create the small businesses that are so essential to employing low-skill laborers – both immigrant and native-born.
"Right now, there are more than 13 million unemployed Americans – and millions more who have just stopped looking for work. In New York City, we're connecting our job-training programs to our economic development programs, so we can connect people to the companies that are hiring now – not five years from now. We're also tailoring these programs around immigrant communities – so that language barriers are not barriers to employment. As a result, we've put record numbers of people in jobs, even in the depths of the national recession.
"One of the arguments against immigration reform is that immigrants take jobs from Americans. It's exactly the opposite: immigrants create jobs for Americans. And many do jobs that Americans won't.
"There's an old story about an Italian immigrant arriving in New York City. He had heard the streets of New York were paved with gold. And he says: 'When I got here, I learned three things: First, the streets were not paved with gold. Second, the streets were not paved. And third: I was expected to pave them.'
"Now, it's quite possible that that immigrant started paving, then bought his own equipment with his savings, and then grew the business. That's the American dream! And there are countless stories like it in cities like New York and San Francisco.
"History shows that every generation of new Americans has fueled the economic engine that made the United States the strongest country in the world. And today, whether it's doing back-breaking or mind-bending work, we need more immigrants to help our country grow.
"Other countries are desperately seeking more immigrants – even offering incentives to attract them. Chile is offering American entrepreneurs $40,000 and a one-year visa to stay in the country. China has recruited thousands of the entrepreneurs, engineers, and scientists they know they need.
"I've proposed that we give a green card to anyone who graduates from a U.S. college with an advanced degree in science, engineering, and other important fields – and to give a visa to any entrepreneur who wants to come here and has backing to start a business. Yet instead, the federal government is literally turning them away by the thousands – or making the visa process so torturous that no one wants to endure it.
"The more difficult we make it for foreign workers and students to come and stay here, the more likely companies will be to move jobs to other nations. Just look at what's happened here in Silicon Valley. Many companies that have not been able to get workers into the country have been forced to move jobs to Vancouver. Just as troubling, more and more foreign students are reporting plans to return home because of visa problems. We educate them here – and then, in effect, tell them to take their knowledge to start jobs in other countries. That just makes no sense whatsoever. Our immigration policy is a form of national suicide – and I know this audience understands all too well just how many jobs the current laws are killing.
"But the problem with the immigration debate in Washington is that there's very little discussion of economics. It's all about ideology and buzz words. Politics and platitudes. We need more facts and data – and once we're actually discussing them, something happens: people on both sides of the aisle actually agree.
"Last year, together with Rupert Murdoch – himself an immigrant from Australia – I launched a group of mayors and business leaders called the Coalition for a New American Economy. Our goal is to put sensible, immigration reform back on Congress's agenda. More than 150 business leaders have joined us – and I hope many of you will join us.
"Immigration is by no means the only major policy reform where we need strong leadership in Washington. Over the course of the day, you've heard a very distinguished group of leaders talk about the need for new approaches in many different areas.
"I mentioned earlier that there are no limits to America's new frontier – but there is actually one: government paralysis and partisan gridlock. In the 19th century, the federal government was instrumental in creating incentives and conditions that led pioneers to push westward – and forward. Today, we need government to understand the new pioneers – the conditions they need, the incentives they value, the obstacles they face. That's the great challenge confronting all governments today, and I can tell you there is not a place in the world that will do more to confront that challenge head-on, to embrace the new frontiers wherever they lead, and to create a dynamic new America, than New York City.
"Thank you very much – and I'm happy to take a few questions."

Fight Night Round 4 has the challenge of improving on the title that helped shaped the generation of gaming ever since the debut of the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. EA Canada had to essentially improve on the game that delivered the first HD gaming experience and is taking the responsibility from the dead EA Chicago studio with plenty of chances to make mistakes, or make another hit title. Does Fight Night Round 4 live up to expectations or does it get knocked out?
To start off, taking a look at changes brings us to career mode. The control mechanics have been reshaped by doubling the speed and adding an all-new physics system. They've made changes to the career mode, they've changed the control mechanics, and they've reshaped every move in the game by doubling its speed and adding an all-new physics system. Fight Night Round 4 delivers the best boxing ever seen in a videogame this generation. Once you are in the ring with your own fighter, there is an experience that no other game can provide. Deliver punches while moving around and leaning is essentially incredible. The new physics and scoring system deliver far from many moments that register it as a hit, and make a great experience.
In Fight Night Round 4, the basic strategy revolves around a different approach. Haymakers are now more annoying than they were but everything places a focus in the way you approach fighting and your fighter's style. Parrying punches is not an option and blocking is now high or low, so guarding left and right quadrants has finally been alleviated as an annoying concern.
The countering system does an incredible job of emulating realistic boxing and there is a great window that works with the camera that allows for a launch with an open area of the body. You will have plenty of chances to evade punches and bring in a totally different counter-opportunity. The incredible camera system follows up very well to the moves and helps strategies come alive. See a boxer uncovering on his left side, and jab an undercut straight from Muhammad Ali. The only issue with counter-punching is that the AI is very difficult. They react too quickly to the moves and there is a lot frustration when it comes to beating them at their own game. Despite this, the countering system works best when fighting against a human opponent as they make logical decisions and predictable ones that aid in the realism of the fight.
Career mode has one annoying aspect that is worth mention. It has no soul. The rivalry system from Fight Night Round 3 has been remedied somewhat. While you no longer are given arbitrary rivals to go up against, there is now no rivalry call-out at all and no special attention paid to your rivals. Instead, you are instantly challenged to a rematch when you have a great fight with someone. It is just too made up and less involved.
Online is the same as single player in Fight Night Round 4, but much better thanks to the realism of the fight and the believable strategy and difficulty of human opponents.
Fight Night Round 4 is simply a wonderful and great boxing game. There are issues in career mode such as the random and awful training games outside of sparring and one-hand training while punching a handbag. The online offering, while not hugely different from the previous Fight Night, still delivers with no lag and an additionally great EA online statistics leader board and match-making system. Fight Night Round 4 is a game that anyone who loves boxing should get, but do not be annoyed by the small inconveniences. Fight Night Round 4 will knock you down anytime of the day.

Help, no poop for 3 DAYS!
Is this OK? What's could be causing it? I haven't had as much fruit recently but that's really all that's changed. Its starting to worry me but he's still acting normal and happy. He burps and farts no problem just nothing really in the diaper. He has gone 24 hrs before without pooping last week but then he had a massive explosion the next day.
Let me know what you smart ladies think, ill be calling the dr when they open. They're very pro-bf. :)
normal for exclusively breastfed babies to have little to no poop for even a week, sometimes two. Breastmilk is so perfect for babies there's such little waste, therefore no need for baby to poop!
(As long as he's not acting constipated or having HARD poops)
Like the other ladies said, normal but BE READY! When he does poop you'll be shocked how much he stored up for you : )
Normal. I will warn you though, once baby does poop, stand back! lol DS once went 11 days without pooping! Just our luck, he finally pooped while we were on a road trip. We stopped at a gas station to change him and OMG it was everywhere!! All over his back, clothes, just all over. All DH and I could do was laugh while cleaning him up. Another time he went a week w/o pooping and I ended up washing him off in the tub. Great times lol.

His technique is very effective and his delivery is wonderful. I am always so relaxed after a session."

Floyd Mayweather Receives A Mercedes-Benz G63 AMGPeter Parcon July 9, 2013
The Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG is starting to become more appealing to a number of celebrities. Rapper Tyga, Kevin Hart, and Kim Kadashian have one along with all members of the royal family of Dubai. And it appears one of the top athletes in the world has also acquired the G-Monster.
Floyd Mayweather recently posted an image of his latest acquisition, the Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG, on his Instagram account. The brand new vehicle has a matte black paint job along with tinted windows.
However, the boxer did not actually purchase the vehicle since his Instagram post thanked his mom for the Fourth of July gift to him. The Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG features a 5.5-liter V8 turbo engine that offers 544 HP of power and 560 lb-ft of torque.
This is a rather grand gift for the holiday from his mom since it costs over $130,000 and his birthday is some time in February.

PORTSMOUTH, Va. (WAVY) — Yards and parking lots in a residential area of Portsmouth experienced significant flooding Tuesday afternoon.
The Norfolk Department of Utilities confirmed a water main break in the area of Martin Avenue and Portsmouth Boulevard. After working to isolate the broken line for more than an hour, crews secured the leak.
The utilities department spokesman, Harry Kenyon, said Norfolk has a pumping station in Portsmouth, and it was right around the pumping station where the break happened.
Neighbors said water flooded six to 12 inches deep in some areas. One family said the water was going under their house. An apartment complex for the elderly in the neighborhood had maintenance workers clearing drains so the water could drain faster. Some residents told WAVY.com they were nervous to leave the complex.
Kenyon told WAVY.com the water that flooded nearby properties was untreated lake water.
No further information has been released. Stay with WAVY.com for updates as they become available.

Chevron leases extra 465,000 square feet downtown
More space for Chevron
California oil giant leases extra 465,000 square feet downtown
Published 6:30 am, Friday, February 24, 2006
Almost two years after buying the 40-story downtown tower built for Enron, Chevron has leased about 20 stories of space in another high-profile building nearby.
The California-based oil giant will use 465,000 square feet of space in 1600 Smith, the 51-story building that's also the headquarters for Houston-based Continental Airlines, to consolidate operations now in Sugar Land.
The transaction will be a "major plus to downtown," said Tim Relyea, vice chairman of Cushman & Wakefield of Texas, who represented Chevron in lease negotiations.
Experts said the downtown office market has been slowly improving since the demise of Enron and the merchant energy business. But it was still 22 percent vacant in the fourth quarter of last year, according to Cushman & Wakefield.
Chevron's new lease helps the revitalization efforts of the Central Business District, said Houston Mayor Bill White, who has been encouraging the company to move all of its operations here.

"The more that we have a concentration in Houston of the senior employment of this great energy firm, then the more likely it is in the long run that Houston will be attractive as a headquarters," White said.
Initially, Chevron's new space will be filled with about 700 employees who will relocate from a building in Sugar Land that housed offices for Unocal Corp.
Deal for UnocalLast summer, San Ramon, Calif.-based Chevron purchased Unocal for $18 billion. The widely publicized deal ended a bidding war between Chevron and CNOOC, one of China's national oil companies, for the El Segundo, Calif.-based energy firm.
Chevron will start moving into 1600 Smith, also known as Continental Center I, in the third quarter.
The company's new leased space is adjacent to another prominent high-rise owned by Chevron. That property, 1500 Louisiana, was built for Enron Corp., but the company declared bankruptcy before it was able to move in.
Chevron purchased the building to consolidate about 4,000 of its local employees there.
The company houses many of its oil and natural gas exploration and production operations in the building. Chevron spokesman Mickey Driver said it wanted to lease additional space nearby for the former Unocal operations, which also focus on the upstream end of the business.
Moreover, the new space will provide room for future growth, Driver said. When fully occupied, the space can accommodate 1,300 workers.
Chevron will maintain its Bellaire, Briarpark and Wilcrest offices. About 5,000 Chevron employees and 1,000 contractors work in the Houston area.
A large portion of Chevron's new space was formerly occupied by Shell Oil and Continental Airlines, according to Paul Frazier, vice president of office leasing for Trizec Properties, which owns the building. Frazier and Paul Layne, executive vice president of the Trizec's southwestern region, represented the building owner in lease negotiations with Chevron.
Continental Airlines still occupies about 500,000 square feet of space in the 1600 Smith building, which contains nearly 1.2 million square feet. The Houston-based carrier also leases in excess of 200,000 square feet in an adjacent Trizec-owned property.
While the downtown office market has made some positive strides, it's not out of the woods, some brokers said.
Burlington Resources, Dynegy and other big corporate tenants all have office space that could soon come back on the market, said Charles Gordon, an executive vice president in the downtown office of CB Richard Ellis.

MediSys Corporation Finalizes Multi-Million Dollar Distribution Agreement With Georgia Based Medical Practice Management Firm
Published: Jul 25, 2006
PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla., July 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- MediSys Corporation announced it has executed a definitive Distribution Agreement with Innovative Practice Solutions, Inc., a Georgia based Medical Practice Management firm. Innovative Practice Solutions (IPS) will represent MediSys Corporation as an exclusive distributor of the MaxLife Center for Men(TM) in Georgia.
IPS differs from most practice management firms by virtue of being led by successful owners of Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, Pain Management, and multidisciplinary practices. It is a performance-based and results-driven firm that provides an array of practice management services including Medical, Physical Therapy, Third Party Billing, Coding & Collections, Malpractice Claims, Marketing and Advertising, Equipment Leasing and Supplies, Diagnostic Testing Services and Multidisciplinary Structuring, among others. Currently, it serves approximately 20 medical facilities in the Georgia and Northern Florida markets and provides Mobile Diagnostic Services to approximately 300 Medical Practices nationwide.
MediSys' management estimates that this Distribution Agreement could lead to approximately 300 MaxLife Center for Men(TM) system sales. Each system retails for $69,995 and could potentially equate to $22.4 million in gross revenues during the next three years if all of the practices were to purchase a MaxLife Center for Men(TM). An additional licensing fee of $1,595 per month for each system could lead to $6.1 million per year in recurring revenues. MediSys' Chief Executive Officer Joshua Konigsberg commented, "Initial feedback from their clients has been extremely positive. We are very pleased to have such a reputable company marketing our systems." He continued, "We are thrilled about this Agreement and having the IPS become our Exclusive Representative in the Georgia market. To have a firm with their reputation, track record, experience and affiliations, will allow rapid penetration into a market that otherwise might take years to penetrate. Since IPS already has a trusted relationship with the physician it will make it easier for the physician to choose to become a licensed MaxLife Center for Men(TM). It seems that the more one knows about the business of healthcare, the more they appreciate the MaxLife Center for Men(TM) and what it can do to enhance a practice." Konigsberg added, "Depending upon the results of this Distribution Agreement, we may move forward with a hybrid approach to sales that utilize both independent distributors and dedicated sales reps."

Do it:
Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, May, Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep, Oct, Nov, Dec
Takes just:
two hours
This modern take on the traditional hanging basket will liven up any a dull wall. This stylish lead planter looks elegant, but it's surprisingly easy and quick to make. Plant it up to suit your location: ferns on a shady wall, succulents in a hot and sunny spot, or with pretty campanulas spilling out of the pockets, as here, for a cottage garden in partial shade.
You will need
- Roll of lead, 45cm x 300cm, from any builder's merchant
- Marine plywood, 30cm x 85cm
- 18 clout nails (large-headed, galvanised nails)
- 3 pots
- Saw
- Metal snips, hammer
- Rag or old duster
Cut a piece of lead that's 7.5cm larger than your piece of marine plywood all the way round, with metal snips. Position the wood in the centre of the lead and fold over the edges so it is held tightly to the board. If necessary, trim off any excess at the corners for a neater finish.
Cut three triangles of lead, 30cm x 25cm x 25cm. Fold over a 5mm strip along the longest edge to give a softer edge. Cut about 3cm off the bottom point of the triangle.
Mould the triangles into a shape resembling half a funnel - it helps to form it around a small flowerpot. Pinch the bottom edges together and leave a 1.5cm flap at each side, which will be used to attach the pocket to the lead-covered board.
Lay the lead-wrapped board flat and arrange the three pockets. Hammer them to the board with the clout nails, three on each side of the pocket (cover the hammer head with an old rag to prevent scratching the lead). Line the pockets with plastic, piercing it at the bottom for drainage, and plant up.

Restrictions on NHS workers with HIV could be relaxed after a review found an "extremely low" risk of the disease being passed to patients.
England's chief medical officer Dame Sally Davies announced consultations after advisers said UK rules were "out of step" with available evidence.
They found the risk of a patient being infected during the most invasive surgery (such as open heart operations or hysterectomies) was about one in 5 million. It was negligible for less invasive procedures, such as local anaesthetic injections for dental treatment.
Healthcare workers diagnosed with HIV are not allowed to perform most surgical or dental procedures. Those restrictions will remain pending consultations in England, Wales and Scotland.
The Expert Advisory Group on Aids, the UK Advisory Panel of Healthcare Workers Infected with Blood-borne Viruses and the Advisory Group on Hepatitis found no reported transmissions of HIV from healthcare workers.
Almost 10,000 patients have been tested after treatment by infected healthcare workers since 1988. The advisory groups said few other countries had such tight restrictions as the UK.
In September, the Department of Health announced gay men would be able to give blood when restrictions are lifted later this year.
A lifetime ban on blood donation by men who have had sex with another man was put in place in the UK in the 1980s as a response to the spread of Aids and HIV.
Davies said: "Patient safety is always our top priority. Our knowledge and understanding and the treatment of HIV have all developed enormously over the last 25 years. It is right that we now consider our current guidelines to reflect what the science is telling us about the risk of HIV transmission from healthcare workers with HIV to patients.
"There are currently around 110 healthcare workers with HIV in England who might be affected by the current restrictions.
"We need to ensure that the guidelines and restrictions imposed are evidence-based and achieve a fair balance between patient safety and the rights and responsibilities of healthcare workers with HIV.
"This consultation will seek wide views on the expert advice and whether it should be accepted."
The chairman of the Expert Advisory Group on Aids, Professor Brian Gazzard, said: "I welcome this consultation. Our careful review of the evidence suggests that the current restrictions on healthcare workers with HIV are now out of step with evidence about the minimal risk of transmission of infection to patients and policies in most other countries.
"This risk can be reduced even further if the healthcare worker is taking effective drug therapy for HIV and being monitored by HIV and occupational health specialists."
Sir Nick Partridge, the chief executive of the Terrence Higgins Trust, said: "It's right to review these restrictions in the light of modern evidence. We know far more now about HIV and its transmission than we did when these rules were made.
"We look forward to their reform, so that highly trained healthcare workers are no longer needlessly lost to the NHS."

Oracle is making several new components available that let developers read and write XML-formatted data to and from an Oracle database. The developer community can download these components from Oracle Technology Network http://technet.oracle.com/tech/xml?tb623. The components extend the XML components that have been available since December 1998.
The new components consist of:
- Oracle XML Parsers for C and C++
- Version 2.0 of the Oracle XML Parser for Java with integrated XSLT processor
- The Oracle XML SQL Utilities and XSQL Servlet
These components will improve the productivity of developers that use XML with an Oracle database. The ability to run all the components within the Oracle8i database avoids the cost and complexity of having a separate XML server in the middle-tier.
