"Ideological distortions in the exhibit"
According to Singer's quotes from the exhibit signage, "Revolution!" presents a generally Whiggish, sometimes triumphalist, and occasionally unreal overview of the changes produced by the American, French, and Haitian revolutions in the late 1700s:
A major theme of the exhibit is that "The Age of Revolution made us all citizens of the world as well as our own nation, loyal to global ideals as well as local and group bonds." I only wish this were true. If it were, slavery in the United States might not have continued into the 1860s; European imperialists might not have sub-divided and colonized Africa and Asia in the nineteenth century; the United States and other countries might not have virtually exterminated their indigenous populations; . . .Singer goes on to highlight how the exhibit minimizes Thomas Jefferson's racism, maintenance of slavery in practice even as he deplored it in theory, and fear of the Haitian revolution. But he misses how George Washington changed his policy on black soldiers in the first year of the Revolutionary War. (I left a comment on that one issue.)
A second theme was that "Remaking law rather than remaking society has been the nation's strongest instrument of change for more than two centuries." I think this represents a fundamental misunderstanding about the relationship between law and society. Laws are generally a reflection of a society rather than instruments for change. The American legal system has frequently codified social injustice. Fugitive slave laws, black codes, Jim Crow segregation laws, and numerous Supreme Court decisions, the most infamous being Dred Scott and Plessy, supported the enforcement of slavery and racism. The "strongest instrument of change" has been social movements to extend liberty and democracy that forced changes in the law. . . .
The exhibit maintains that "gradually during and after the Revolution, and particularly in the Bill of Rights, rights were defined as 'universal.'" Actually, the Bill of Rights, which placed limits on the ability of Congress to interfere with religious practice, speech, assembly, and the press, placed no similar or restrictions on state governments. Hence the legality of slavery, which is unmentioned in the Constitution, remained up to the individual states. . . .
The exhibit concludes with the statement about what the modern world owes to the Age of Revolution. It claims the Age of Revolution "created several 'new normals.'" They included the contentions that "slavery was fundamentally inhuman and had to be abolished"; "Nations should have the right to govern themselves"; and "Even the poor and weak should be treated with dignity." But of course, these were not "normals" for much of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and are still not "normals" in much of the world today.
Singer's critique reflects a distrust among some historians of the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History and its namesake founders.
The ideological distortions in the exhibit are consistent with political direction being imposed by Richard Gilder and Lewis Lehrman,…who control the board of directors of the New York Historical Society. They are major right-wing players in the war over what should be taught as history. Richard Gilder is a founding member, and former chair, of the board of trustees of the Manhattan Institute. Lewis Lehrman is a trustee of the American Enterprise Institute, the Manhattan Institute, and the Heritage Foundation.There's no question that Gilder and Lehrman have made a lot of money in corporate finance and are conservative political activists. Lehrman even ran for governor of New York in 1982. There's also no question that they've put a lot of their money into historical initiatives, including museum exhibits, teacher workshops, book prizes, and document collections. At times one or the other man has been explicit about wishing to promote conservative interpretations of American history.
Gilder and Lehrman didn't necessarily have their thumbs on the scale of this exhibit. The idea of the American Revolution inspiring ideas of universal rights isn't just a conservative one; it's fairly mainstream in American thought because it's so flattering to us as a nation. A willingness to overlook exceptions to our fine ideals is also fairly common among us humans. That said, folks really shouldn't mount an exhibit titled "Revolution!" if they're frightened of "remaking society."

The focus of this discussion will be on anticipating and safeguarding against the most common errors in goal setting. As you may recall, previous articles have distinguished goals from "wishes, hopes and dreams" by their specific, behavioral and observable nature, and the fact that they must include a specified time period for their completion.
Further, we described three basic types of goals, namely: product goals (where the focus is on the outcome; like "becoming a starting player"), process goals (where the focus is on one's own performance and on factors directly under the athletes control; like "running four 60 yard wind sprints after practice three days per week"), and "do your best" goals (which sound altruistic and positive but invariably lack specificity and detail; like "I'm just going to try my best when I lift weights this week").
You were encouraged to consider setting goals for each of the four pillars of your sport: the technical skills, the tactical requirements, the physiological demands and the psychological components. Once athletes (and coaches, for that matter) begin to set observable, measurable goals and specify the date for completion, it is not uncommon to experience increased motivation and excitement as goals are successfully accomplished. This exuberance leads to two of the most common goal setting problems:
While there is no magic formula for how many goals to set in a particular time frame, I generally encourage athletes to focus on a maximum of three to four goals per week: a "goal set." The challenge is to keep the goals meaningful, relevant and motivating. Goals should not control your athletic life or become burdensome to the training regimen. Rather, they should serve as guideposts and standards of excellence that are individually significant. They should be difficult but realistic and only you can determine what that may be.
For example, if you are currently bench-pressing 100 pounds, it would be an unrealistic goal to bench-press 125 pounds (a 25-pound increase from your previous best) in one week's time. Let's say your long-term goal is to be able to bench-press 125 pounds, however. Perhaps the best way to utilize effective goal setting is to make a commitment to "complete three sets of 10-12 repetitions three days per week at 100 pounds for the next four weeks, using perfect form." The process of bench-pressing consistently each week, following proper strength training guidelines will be behavior completely under the athlete's control (barring injury or illness) and bring a person closer to reaching their ultimate goal.
Likewise, if your goal is to improve your free throw shooting percentage over the last season, then establish a realistic long term goal of say, a 10% improvement in nine months and then devise a "goal set" plan to achieve that outcome. Specifically, you may commit to shooting an extra 100 free throws each week for three months, or you may "goal set" to shoot however many free throws are required to make 50 after practice two days each week. Both of these goals would be excellent means to bring you closer to achieving your long-term goal of improved free-throw shooting percentage.
The key point to emphasize is that it is better to design fewer, high quality goals and commit to their successful accomplishment than to set too many goals and hope that several will be accomplished. Decide what aspects of your performance are most important to you and which skills you want to focus on for a particular week. Once you've made that determination, you are then ready to create your weekly "goal sets."

No. 10 Ole Miss was without several starters and regular contributors against Presbyterian, and many others were limited.
But given an extra week of rest, head coach Hugh Freeze said he expects everyone, with the exception of the players out with season-ending injuries, to be ready to go when Ole Miss travels to Arkansas on Nov. 22.
"The plan this week was same as last week," Freeze said. "We had in our mind a two-week plan to hopefully have everyone. Those who were held out of things last week are being held out this week, but they're doing more stuff. They're running and getting lifts in. I'm going to hold them out of practice this week and be back Sunday, hopefully."
Junior running back I'Tavius Mathers and junior safety Trae Elston, who both missed the Presbyterian game while dealing with concussions, returned to practice this week. Senior linebacker Keith Lewis is going through the concussion protocol this week after suffering one against Presbyterian.
The starting left side of the offensive line, sophomore offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil and junior offensive guard Aaron Morris, were held out of the Presbyterian game and the portions of practice open to the media Tuesday and Wednesday, but they are also expected back against Arkansas.
Focus on Fundamentals
In addition to getting healthy, one of the focuses this week was working on the fundamentals, as Ole Miss focused on individual work more than in previous weeks.
On the offensive side of the ball, co-offensive coordinator Dan Werner said, they worked on inside run, the passing game, blocking by receivers and different things they felt like they needed to improve.
"Especially late in the season, you sort of subconsciously feel like if we don't know it by now we're not going to know it, but you need to hit it every day," Werner said. "When you get an open week and you don't have to worry about a game plan, you can work it hard.
On the defensive side of the ball, it was much the same, in addition to getting ahead on preparation for a road game at Arkansas.
The extra week, defensive coordinator Dave Wommack said, should be a big benefit because of the Razorbacks' shifts and unbalanced formations, to go along with its talented players in the backfield and along the offensive line.
"The goal is to get everybody healthy from all the nicks and everything that's happened with colds and all that stuff," Wommack said. "Cody (Prewitt) missed a day with the flu and whatever you've got with viruses and so forth. Just get them back healthy, and we want to improve fundamentally, which we have done the last couple of days. Obviously, we are also getting ahead on the game plan versus Arkansas."
Young Players in Review
The coordinators on both sides of the ball were pleased with what they saw from some of their younger players in extended action against Presbyterian.
Sophomore running back Mark Dodson and redshirt freshman Jordan Wilkins may have played their way into more significant roles going forward this season, but they were not alone in making an impression on Werner and the offensive staff.
"Derrick Jones caught five balls and that was huge with him moving over from the defensive side," Werner said. "He's gone back and forth, but he caught some nice balls, including for a touchdown.
"The quarterbacks graded out very well. They didn't make many mistakes. The balls were placed where they were supposed to be, and they made good decisions. I was really pleased with them. "
On the other side of the ball, Wommack has been pleased with the corner's mentality freshman cornerback Kendarius Webster has showed, noting his confidence and maturity in addition to his talent.
"He's a freshman and he still makes mistakes at times," Wommack said. "The game experience is so valuable. He's a very talented young man and he continues to get better and better. He's going to make some mistakes as a freshman, but I'm really pleased with them."
Wommack also mentioned freshman safeties C.J. Moore and C.J. Hampton as players who grew from game experience against Presbyterian. Among the freshmen who are redshirting this season, Wommack said defensive linemen Breeland Speaks and Victor Evans have stood out to the offensive coaches in practice.
"They've sat in the meetings and gone through practice and getting as many reps as the ones do, that's valuable stuff right there," said Wommack of the younger players. "I really like that class and I am excited about the future."
Games of Interest for Ole Miss This Weekend
No. 1 Mississippi State at No. 5 Alabama, 2:30 p.m. CT, CBS
No. 9 Auburn at No. 15 Georgia, 6:15 p.m. CT, ESPN
To win the SEC West and advance to the Southeastern Conference Championship, Ole Miss has to win on the road at Arkansas and at home against Mississippi State and get help. Alabama and Georgia have to defeat Mississippi State and Auburn, respectively, and then Auburn has to defeat Alabama on Nov. 29.
That would create a three-way tie among Alabama, Mississippi State and Ole Miss, and Ole Miss would hold the head-to-head tiebreaker over each team. Both games also hold importance in the College Football Playoff rankings.
No. 8 Ohio State at No. 25 Minnesota, 11 a.m. CT, ABC
No. 4 TCU at Kansas, 2 p.m. CT, Fox Sports 1
No. 3 Florida State at Miami (FL), 7 p.m. CT, ABC
No. 6 Arizona State at Oregon State, 9:45 p.m. CT, ESPN
Other than No. 5 Alabama, which hosts No. 1 Mississippi State, the other five teams ranked ahead of No. 10 Ole Miss are all on the road this week. For Ohio State and Florida State, Minnesota and Miami (FL) likely pose their toughest challenges before their respective conference championship games.
No. 2 Oregon and No. 7 Baylor, like No. 10 Ole Miss, are off this week.
"I'm not going to sit there and watch every play and be worried about it because at the end of the day, all we can control is our team. I'm excited to get some rest." - Senior quarterback Bo Wallace, on the open date Saturday

Car Talk With Virgil
My 9.7 readers might recall the experience I suffered through with my Crown Vic in Mickey D's drive-thru when I "Virgil-ized" the shifter handle. Stay tuned for another thrilling chapter after these words from the Thoeny Yacht Club and Tonsorial Parlor ...
I'm just blessed to be one of those fellers who isn't blessed with an over-abundance of luck. If you have something that is on the verge of breaking but has held on for months, I can lay hands on it and immediately it will break.
On a Saturday not so long ago, I Virgilized the Crown Vic, rendering it nearly immobile and virtually unfixable. The memorial service was Monday, and I was very sad indeed. Let me tell you about it.
Remember the Chevy LUV Mikado I told you about that Joe stung me with awhile back? Well, on that same Saturday it blew its second water pump out in the hay pasture back of Chisholm's Palace. The time was about 3:30 p.m.
I took out the radiator and the broken water pump in about 20 minutes and called an auto parts store in Glasgow to see if the water pump I had ordered a couple weeks ago had arrived and, if so, "What time do you close?"
By now it was 5 minutes to 4 and they close at "4 sharp." I asked Rick to please leave it outside and I would come get it, mucho pronto.
Eighteen minutes later, I arrived from Hinsdale – ignore that part, Sheriff Meier – to see the water pump box sitting by the door. I beat a hasty retreat back to the hay growing place and installed the pump, re-put back the radiator and put on the belts. I fired it up after pouring some water in the radiator, I headed off to my house, arriving in a cloud of steam.
Seems that when the pump broke it sent the fan into the radiator gouging out a "small" hole.
(You might recall that soon after I got stung with the LUV, I bought a couple wrecked ones from Mike for parts.) Donna gave me a ride back out to the hayfield where the "Vic" was and I headed out to Mike's to retrieve a radiator from one of the derelicts.
I had been out there many times when the weeds and grass were short. Many times I had not seen a truck rim and blown-out tire lying on the ground off by itself.
This time however, the grass and weeds were waist high. I still didn't see it laying there just lurking, waiting for me. I hit it and the rim rolled right up under the Crown Vic, causing the car to rise up about three feet off the ground and then come crashing back to earth on top if the rim.
I called Mike, who came over with a jack. We got the rim extracted, pushed the weeds aside and assessed the damage that, among other maladies, included a broken flywheel housing, a broken tranny, a driveline bent like a pretzel, and several or more pieces of metal and plastic hanging down.
Miraculously, the car started up and shifting into "D." I continued on my 22 mph, wobbly, clanking, hissing, creaking way toward home. I made it just as Vic sputtered, backfired twice in a death salute and passed away.
I had retrieved the radiator but at an unbearable cost. My Crown Vic was dead.
Too despondent to work on the LUV that evening I retired to a corner whining and sucking my thumb and cursing the LUV for causing all this trouble.
Next morning I went outside, kicked the LUV and filled the bird feeders while glaring in the direction of the Mikado. But I soon realized I needed to get the LUV fixed, so I took out the offending radiator and after flushing out the new/used one and checking it over "real good." I stuck it into its designed place, bolted the fan in place and tightened the alternator belt and the other belt for which I had absolutely no idea what it turned,
As I was filling the radiator, Keith and Myla drove into my yard to see if I could use some help. His first words were, "It's coming out faster than you pour it in".
"$*%@" and "oh my," I thought.
I looked under the pickup and sure enough there was a hole spitting out a small stream of water. I knew I didn't have any stop-leak, so remembering my youth I went into the house and got a can of finely ground black pepper and dumped a quarter can into the radiator. A couple of minutes later the leak stopped. See, when I was a kid it was common practice to use Bull Durham tobacco or an egg to seal up little radiator leaks. That usually didn't last very long, but at least it would get you home.
I re-removed the spitting radiator and going into the house, took the phone off the hook, closed the blinds and put Chevy Chase's "Vacation" in the VCR and watched it 17 times in succession.
One of these days, I'll strap both radiators to my back and hike to Glasgow to have them repaired.
So, now if you see a fat (but on a diet), white-haired fella with a slight limp, wearing bibs walking along the hiway, have mercy and offer him a ride.
After my " 26 Hours of Hell," all I can think of is that old Norwegian/Canadian prayer that simply says.... "Offda, Eh???
That's it for now folks. Thanks for listening.
Since writing the above I discovered the LUV had a cracked head all along, much like the guy I bought it from, I guess, and I retired it to the boneyard alongside the Cadillac (which would be another story for another time.)

This is a rather lengthy but interesting article about how using a GPS affects our brains, compared with navigating by other means.
https://www.bostonglobe.com/ideas/2013/ ... story.html
By searching the internet for articles by or about John Huth, much more can be learned about the ways our minds and bodies navigate and about how using gps impairs our natural abilities.
It is almost like our minds are a muscle. If we stop using a muscle it atrophies.
Huth wrote a long book on the art of finding out way. He is a Harvard physicist and an avid outdoors person.
So, not only does gps pose a threat to wilderness, it impairs our ability to see the world as it is.
I have travelled many miles in the San Jacinto mountains and other wildernesses using gps. I wonder now what I missed because if it. And will my brain ever recover.

Revision as of 03:01, 29 November 2012
In Gyrex roles are used to control what bundles and what OSGi applications (OSGi application admin) will be started on a particular node.
- Bundle
org.eclipse.gyrex.boot(Gyrex 1.0 or higher)
- Equinox Extension Registry
Define Roles
Roles are implemented using the Equinox Extension Registry. This decision was made in order to allow a declaritive approach for devining roles without writing any line of Java as well as to support lazy activation. It may be possible to use DS in the future (bug 395332).
In order to define a role you need to create an extension to the
org.eclipse.gyrex.server.roles extension point. Each role consists of an identifier, a name and references a set of bundles and/or applications to start. Applications must be defined using the Equinox
org.eclipse.core.runtime.applications extension point.
The following Example defines a role "My Server Role".
<extension point="org.eclipse.gyrex.server.roles"> <role id="com.abc.my.role" name="My Server Role"> <requireBundle symbolicName="com.abc.thridparty" /> <requireApplication applicationId="com.abc.my.application" /> </role> </extension>
The role requires the bundle
com.abc.thridparty to be started as well as the application
Activation Triggers
Once roles are defined you also need to define an activation trigger. You can create different triggers depending on the operation mode and the cloud online state. An addition start level can be set to apply some level of ordering to roles activation.
The following activation triggers are possible:
trigger="onBoot"... a node is started
trigger="onCloudConnect"... a node has successfully established its connection to the cluster
mode="development"... a node is operating in development mode
mode="production"... a node is operating is in production mode
nodeFilter="(...)"... a node matches a custom LDAP style filter
Example Development Trigger
In development mode it's usually very comfortable to automatically start a role. For example, Gyrex itself uses the following trigger to automatically start an embedded ZooKeeper server in development mode.
<extension point="org.eclipse.gyrex.server.roles"> <defaultStart mode="development" roleId="org.eclipse.gyrex.cloud.roles.leader" startLevel="-10" trigger="onBoot"> </defaultStart> </extension>
Example Production Trigger
In production environment one usually does not want a particular role to start automatically but only when a specific configuration is done. For example, Gyrex itself uses the following trigger to start the Jetty server in production mode when a node is tagged with the tag webserver and successfully connected with the cloud.
<extension point="org.eclipse.gyrex.server.roles"> <defaultStart mode="production" nodeFilter="(tag=webserver)" roleId="org.eclipse.gyrex.http.jetty.roles.engine" startLevel="10" trigger="onCloudConnect"> </defaultStart> </extension>

geekygirl necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 46 diseños de 15 diseñadores freelance.
US Concrete Services
I'm Jodi Henderson, owner of my own small business, geeky girl interactive media. (Note: I am only starting out and this is my first project.) One of my clients is my brother-in-law, owner of US Concrete Services. I am trying to help him establish an identity that he can use to build what is currently a side business into something he can do full-time. We are starting with a logo and hope to add other interactive elements to the mix at a later time.
My goal with geeky girl in general is to help small businesses in my community establish a complete interactive presence, from social media networks to their website. I would really like to help them succeed in whatever industry they've chosen to enter.
As its name suggests, US Concrete Services is a blue-collar business. The primary kind of work is core drilling (imagine handrails that have to be installed for steps outside a school, for example; core drilling involves drilling the holes that the support posts for the handrails fit in). The target audience is made up of general contractors, construction companies, and the like.
1 - The company's slogan is "Leading the industry in safety, service and reliability". My brother-in-law feels like an eagle sort of symbolizes this spirit and, therefore, wants his logo to incorporate one. (We found a sample that he liked and it is attached.)
The slogan should not be part of the design; I included it here as an FYI only.
2 - He likes the look of diamond plate so that needs to be integrated somehow, too. (An image sample is attached for reference.) It is preferred for the US part of the name to be in diamond plate.
3 - Color scheme is red, white, blue and silver.
4 - The logo will eventually be used on a simple website, business cards and potentially T-shirts.
5 - Here are some typeface ideas:
Sans Black: http://www.dafont.com/sansblack.font
Big Mummy: http://www.dafont.com/bigmummy.font
Both are intended to show desired thickness of letters; prefer sans serif to serif. "US" part of the name should be "short and fat" as indicated in the typeface samples; the US part should also be slanted.
I think I could sell him on a design that doesn't include an eagle, as long as it complements the slogan. As for Paul himself, he's a hard worker, always wants to do the job right, loyal, and great at customer relations, among other things. I offer this information only to help you understand a little about the guy the logo is for, in case it helps frame your ideas.

At Hollywood Arts high school, we found the gang in class during the day.
Ms. Rogers: Okay, kids, let's start the araw with a few new math problems. [She writes a problem on the board.] What is fifteen times two? ...Come on kids, don't be shy. Just give it your best shot. [Robbie smiles and raises his hand] Yes, Robbie?
Robbie: Twelve?
Ms. Rogers: Okay. Now let's try to get an answer from someone who's not a complete retard who has a puppet.
Robbie: Rex is not a puppet!

I pag-ibig tori Vega because she is sweet kind and i pag-ibig her in every character in zoey 101 and in spectacular in bite size lets get on with what i pag-ibig about her...

Do NOT pay attention to the user of CatLittleRed. She barely makes people think that she is the real Cat Valentine, but she really isn't. She just wants people's attention to make herself famous and make her user relating to Cat Valentine and trying to be a superstar, but she's a LIAR, BRAT, FAKER and a ATTENTION-CATCHER. Again - do NOT pay attention to the user going sa pamamagitan ng CatLittleRed.
Cat Valentine, according to a tanong that CatLittleRed, there was a tanong that she wrote asking what Jade's screen name was, and two of the sagot had the word GAY in it. The two sagot are...
10) Robbie
9) Rex
8) Sinjin
7) Trina
6) Beck
5) Jade
4) Tori
3) Andre
2) Sikowits
1) Cat<3
I chose these sagot because I pag-ibig crazy people so I put the most crazy ones near my first favorite. Cat is my first paborito because she is very crazy and she reminds me of how i act at school and also because she is alot like me.
If you have any tanong please comment(:

Color is still up in the air as we will base our web design from our logo.
Our web address is http://www.ThanksBud.com so play with the names "ThanksBud", "ThanksBud.com", "Thanks, Bud!", or any variation that you feel would work. We are still flexible and I will give prompt feedback on the things I like and don't like.

2004-2010 Strategic Planning
From the Desk of the President
To the SWOSU Community:
In the summer of 1998, a Planning and Resource Council (PRC) was established to initiate the process to develop a vision for Southwestern Oklahoma State University under the leadership of President Joe Anna Hibler. As a part of this process, many University stakeholders, consisting of faculty and staff, and community members were selected to meet certain objectives that contributing to the development of the 1998 Strategic Vision and Plan and its subsequent implementation through 2003.
President John Hays carried this important work forward with the assistance of faculty, staff, and community leaders and further developed and implemented the Strategic Plan through 2010.
I commend the Planning and Resource Council and others who participated in this effort. I pledge my support as we work together to continue achievement of these goals. This Strategic Planning process will move forward in 2011 when I convene faculty, staff, and community leaders to continue to build a vision for SWOSU.
Randy Beutler, President

People Power is strong and good in Malaysia. Make no mistake about it – Civil societies, NGOs, NGIs fighting in the name of love for our rights, our land, our country.
There are a few green battles being fought – Against the Cyanide-using Australian gold mine in Raub, the Dialog-led RAPID crap in Pengerang, some nuclear ambitions Najib and Co have to line their ever thirsty wallets, and of course that Lynas plant in Kuantan by (again) an Australian company.
Despite Bukit Merah, despite Fukushima… our fucked up politicians, their business cronies + these fucked up foreign countries who thinks Malaysia is a dumping ground for shit they cannot do in their home soil are still pressing ahead with one project after another that brings nothing (not even good jobs and tax revenue) but environmental and health risk to our land and our people.
Well… we are not backing down, muthafuckas.
The latest is Himpunan Hijau's green walk from Kuantan to Putrajaya. It's on now…. pls support them anyway you can!
If you have some spare change…. one of things to do is to whack that Lynas share price.
WHACK IT!!! Make it slide!!

Oct 21, 2008 (CIDRAP News) Drawing on the expertise of more than 150 health experts, Trust for America's Health (TFAH), a nonprofit health advocacy group in Washington, DC, today released a report designed to help the next president and Congress reform the public health system to improve the nation's health and emergency preparedness.
At a press conference today, Jeff Levi, PhD, executive director of TFAH, told reporters that the country is losing ground on battling preventable diseases such as diabetes and obesity and could stall in its efforts to prepare for a pandemic or other public health emergency. "We believe Americans deserve better, and these problems place us at a competitive disadvantage," he said in introducing the 119-page report.
Levi said both of the major presidential candidates are concerned about the nation's public health problems and have said new solutions are needed, as described in recent articles in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM).
Levi said the report, "Blueprint for a Healthier America: Modernizing the Federal Public Health System to Focus on Prevention and Preparedness," contains recommendations that came from a yearlong consensus-building effort among the 150 experts. The report also includes a number of public opinion surveys on Americans' perceptions of natural disaster and disease threats.
Alan Quinlan, president of Greenberg Quinlan Rosner Research, said at the press conference that opinion polling on behalf of TFAH suggests that 51% of Americans think the country is somewhat prepared for a major disaster such as a hurricane, but not as well as it should be. "In the back of their minds they're hoping that the government is ready. It's a soft confidence in government that we are prepared," he said.
Bill McInturff, partner and cofounder of Public Opinion Strategies, which also conducted polling for the TFAH report, told reporters that Americans are anxious to hear about solutions to public health problems. "The normal partisan breaks get clearly fuzzy," he said. However, public health concerns will battle for attention and funding, especially given the difficult economic environment. "The issues will have to fight for their piece of the pie," he said.
A $20 billion funding gap
Levi emphasized that the TFAH "blueprint" proposes a public health and preparedness strategy that doesn't depend solely on the federal government but envisions critical roles for state and local governments. He said some of the key themes of the blueprint are holding funding recipients accountable for progress and results and making prevention a cornerstone of the nation's health, not just an afterthought.
In the report, TFAH projects a $20 billion annual shortfall in funding for critical public health problems. Establishing a stable funding stream though various options outlined in the report would require increases of $12 billion at the federal level and $8 billion at state and local levels.
One option could include a "wellness trust"an independent entity that would fund public health activities and infrastructure improvements with the support of public health agencies and private insurers. TFAH also suggests creating a matching requirement for state and local recipients of new public health funding and private-public partnerships at the state and local levels.
The report recommends that the next president appoint a Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) secretary who has a strong understanding of public health, name a public health task force within 90 days of taking office to help set short- and long-term national health goals and make policy recommendations, and issue an executive order that makes improving the nation's health a priority.
Pandemic and emergency preparedness
The report urges the next administration to ensure that emergency preparedness is part of the health reform debate. Levi told reporters that strengthening surge capacity is "the single biggest and hardest issue for health preparedness."
To make best use of federal resources, TFAH recommends that the next administration designate a single official at HHS to oversee all emergency preparedness activities and ensure coordination across other federal agencies that have a role in preparedness.
Among several specific suggestions for influenza pandemic preparedness, TFAH recommends developing a "Pandemic Vaccine Research and Development Master Plan," setting more ambitious goals for producing a pandemic vaccine, streamlining the licensing process for flu vaccines, implementing a nationwide system to track the use, safety, and efficacy of vaccines, and increasing the federal stockpile of antiviral drugs to enable it to treat 25% of the population.
Food safety considerations
Many of TFAH's recommendations for improving the nation's food safety system were detailed in a report that the group released in April. In that report, TFAH highlighted several problems with the nation's current food safety system, including an underfunded Food and Drug Administration (FDA), outdated laws, and safety responsibilities that are spread among 15 different federal agencies.
TFAH has recommended that federal officials create a single food safety agency to improve oversight and the efficiency of tasks such surveillance and foodborne illness outbreak response.
A public opinion poll included in the new report found that 78% of Americans believe that a major foodborne disease outbreak will occur again in the next 5 to 10 years, that 65% believe protecting the nation's food supply should be a primary government responsibility, and that 88% are concerned about the safety of imported food products.

Hello! My name is AnnieeSmitth,
I'm glad you made it... I just moved to the area not too long ago for my job. I have no friends here :( All of my family is still in Iowa and everyone at my work is older, so I don't really have anything in common with anyone there... I'm trying to meet some new people my age and so far haven't had any luck... I don't know where any of the cool spots are and I'm pretty much a homebody anyway. I hope you like my pics! I just got this site going and have my cam set up now... I'm usually online all the time when I'm not working. I've had a lot of fun with it. I thought it would be a good way to meet some new people, but haven't had too much success yet, so you're still in luck ;) I'm looking for someone who wants to hang out and have a good time.. Someone who is interested in trying new things! I'm from a small town and it was pretty boring, so I guess I'm wanting to bring out the wild side a little bit.
Click here to chat with me! :)

VENICE, CA — Ashleigh Bravo thinks there should be a "Jane Fonda" for kids. And, she hopes she can be it.
Bravo, the creator of the Bravo Kids Workout, has a decade of experience in the industry, is a personal trainer and teaches a fitness class for children ages 6-8 in Los Angeles. She plays contemporary music to get the children warmed up and uses equipment, such as brightly colored exercise balls, to keep them active and entertained. The program is designed for children who need activity.
"Kids have such a short attention span that you need something that is fast paced, fun, has great music and really cool equipment," Bravo said.
Bravo is bringing her children's workout to California public schools and Los Angeles-area gyms. She has written a book, What Would You Do For A Cookie?, and is launching a DVD that will be available in March. She hopes to expand to gyms across the West Coast this spring with the help of a "Train the Train" DVD and manual that shows certified aerobics instructors how to teach children.
"It's a lot of fun and very rewarding," she said.

This is NGC 604, a colossal star-forming region located millions of light-years away in the neighboring galaxy M33. It's a rollicking, roiling cauldron of star creation and (occasionally) destruction, and it's only going to get more impressive as eons pass.
NGC 604 measures a whopping 1,500 light-years across at its greatest diameter, whereas most nebulae in the Milky Way don't even come close to 100 light-years across. The Orion Nebula, which is the closest star-forming region to Earth, is about 24 light-years across. If you somehow swapped the Orion Nebula and NGC 604's places in the night sky, the mega-giant nebula would appear brighter than Venus in Earth's night sky. Let's go to NASA for more:
About 3 million years ago in the nearby galaxy M33, a large cloud of gas spawned dense internal knots which gravitationally collapsed to form stars. NGC 604 was so large, however, it could form enough stars to make a globular cluster. Many young stars from this cloud are visible in the above image from the Hubble Space Telescope, along with what is left of the initial gas cloud. Some stars were so massive they have already evolved and exploded in a supernova. The brightest stars that are left emit light so energetic that they create one of the largest clouds of ionized hydrogen gas known, comparable to the Tarantula Nebula in our Milky Way's close neighbor, the Large Magellanic Cloud.

By Kathy Detwiler
I have lived in the Bluebell Hill section of Mt. Airy for the past 17 years on a little side street that allows me easy access to wandering the Wissahickon daily, and in summer wandering in the creek itself. I consider from time to time changing my life dramatically, i.e., moving somewhere else, but I love this connection to the Wissahickon enough to be leery of what any other location might offer.
On Monday, Aug. 13, I received an email from the Friends of the Wissahickon that there was to be a Park closure that evening for a spraying of the Wissahickon for mosquito control, and that the area bounded by Northwestern Avenue, Henry Avenue, Germantown Avenue and Livezey Lane was to be closed to all people and traffic. That area includes Valley Green Inn, where I am employed but did not work that evening.
I saw no signs posting this planned closure or any other advance notice, even though I walk in the Wissahickon Park daily. Upon arriving at the Inn the next day, I was told by my manager of having received no notifications of the closure, which should have forced closure of the Inn or at least forced closure of the porch of the Inn, and of having seen the spray truck driving along Forbidden Drive, spraying the area, with joggers in front of the truck, bikers driving through the spray to pass the truck, dogs and children and hikers all moving aside to allow the truck to pass them.
The area fogged included the porch of the Inn where families, guests were having dinner at the time of the spraying, and that certainly their food would have been fogged as well as the people and wait staff. How did this happen? My best research indicates that the mosquito spray is to prevent West Nile Disease, and that the program to spray is a collaboration between the Philadelphia Health Department, The USDA, and the Department of Environmental Protection.
I have put in calls to two Philadelphia Health phone numbers, two Department of Environmental Protection Agency phone numbers, all of which were listed as references for questions about this program. So far, no one has responded. I would address three issues with this program if I could reach anyone willing to discuss this with me: the plan, the communication of the plan, and the execution of the plan.
All have serious flaws, including the danger to the people who unknowingly ate a meal sprayed with the mosquito-killing spray, or who jogged through the spray and inhaled it into their lungs as they ran or the chemically sensitive or health-challenged folks who were out for an evening of fresh air only to find the spray on their clothes and skin, hair. I worry about the ramifications of no one in any bureaucracy willing to listen to me about any of it.
I admit that for me the most serious issues involve spraying our wild lands to eliminate the very source of the food that makes our wild lands successful as wild lands, food for the frogs and toads, fish, birds, dragonflies, bats, the myriad creatures that depend upon mosquitoes to survive. Mosquitoes are a vital part of the food chain that sustains us all, and to simply spray away that most basic ingredient of the chain, IN THE WILD, is to disrupt the delicate balance of all of our lives.
Didn't we learn anything from Rachel Carson and the DDT years? I am unsure at this time how to proceed further, what is the most effective use of my passion and outrage and concern. I have called the Friends of the Wissahickon and discussed this with them long enough to learn that there is no current policy of the Friends on this issue of spraying in the Park, and have offered to help in the discussions to formulate such a policy, to act as advisory should there be a willingness on the part of the agencies to request advice.
I have decided to send this notification out to several groups and through several venues. Should any readers of the Local have a response helpful to me, I would be glad of any advice! I would love to begin a conversation with our society about it, since we seem to have forgotten about the importance of our insects in the food chain of life. People getting sick from West Nile virus will mean little if we are all starving from having permanently messed up our web of life with insecticides and genetic manipulation of our foods.
We could at least think this spraying of the Wissahickon through a little more thoroughly than just letting the spray truck spew its contents over our last remaining wild areas, upsetting the balance of nature in ways we don't even understand. Thanks for reading! You may reach me at email@example.com

Cheer Pack North America celebrated its newly operational West Bridgewater packaging plant in September, giving tours of the retrofitted facility that will allow the company to more than double its production.
WEST BRIDGEWATER — Cheer Pack North America celebrated its newly operational West Bridgewater packaging plant in September, giving tours of the retrofitted facility that will allow the company to more than double its production.
Formerly located in Plymouth, Cheer Pack renovated an approximately 180,000-square-foot space, installing new equipment and infrastructure to create a 24-hour, seven-day-a-week operation, according to Steve Gosling, Cheer Pack president, who spoke at the ribbon-cutting event.
The $24 million renovation at One United Drive is nearly finished with some remaining work to be completed in office spaces, Gosling said on Sept. 25. Operation at the facility has already begun.
Incorporated in 2010, with only a handful of employees, Cheer Pack has seen tremendous growth as its products have taken off in North America. The company got started with just two employees, one of them Gosling, in 2009 and now has a staff of 109. It is one of 19 finalists statewide for MassEcon's 2012 economic impact award.
Cheer Pack started production by importing from partner companies in Asia and Europe but has been working toward full U.S. manufacturing capability, something the new building will make happen, according to Gosling. Cheer Pack intends "to produce a 100 percent North American made product and that starts with this building," he told ribbon-cutting attendees.
The company plans to be producing 500 million units annually with 130 employees by the end of the year, he said, adding that the facility has the potential to do even more than that, up to 1 billion units.
"So we'll just add equipment as needed and infrastructure as needed," said Gosling.
Started by CDF Corporation, a Plymouth-based packaging company, Cheer Pack is a partnership between CDF, Hosokawa Yoko in Japan, and Gualapack in Italy. Its flexible pouch technology was invented by Hosokawa Yoko director Toru Ichikawa and first produced about 20 years ago in Asia.
The move to bring the product to North America came through CDF Corporation president Joseph Sullivan Jr., who is one of Cheer Pack's three owners. At the ribbon-cutting event, Sullivan praised both of his partners in making the venture happen, particularly noting Ichikawa's contributions as an innovator.
"He has invented many, many products and this is just one of them," he said.
In Asia and Europe, Cheer Pack technology is used for a variety of products including self-serve ice cream; however, the North American market has seen most of its growth to date in baby food markets, according to Cheer Pack director of sales and marketing, Blair Vance.
"Over the last two years, the baby food category has gone through an evolutionary process where the old glass jars have faded out and packaging such as ours have really aligned themselves with the needs of consumers," said Vance.
Its success is due to a number of factors, including the pouch's lightweight and flexible material, he said. Cheer Pack packages can also be resealed, have secure safety caps, and a tamper evident seal that is safe for children.
Vance said Cheer Pack sees continued growth in its existing markets as well as in new ones like energy products, sports neutraceuticals, gourmet sauces and soups, and dairy products.

'The Bright Spot at the End of the Tail'
1999 - metal: bronze
Circling a ring of lush greenery in the sculpture park are more than a dozen bronze beasts by Dana Stewart. The individual characters are based upon the artist's own imaginary menagerie. Playful, whimsical and amusing at first glance, more in-depth contemplation of the fanciful creatures reveals underlying dark and somber qualities. Grimaces, snarls, stances, and other gestures convey an array of emotions, including fear, lamentation, and aggression. Tails, commonly recognized as an animal's emotional barometer, are exaggerated in size in comparison to each creature's body mass. Long and thick, the appendages are held upright, standing erect, taut and on-guard. The straining, extended necks and the tight lines of the textured bodies aid in relaying this tension between lighthearted whimsy and the darker range of emotions.

INDEPENDENCE TOWNSHIP, Mich. - A group of moms in the Clarkston area are trying to convince the owners of gas stations, drug stores and liquor stores to stop selling K2 and other synthetic marijuana products that are legal and have no government restrictions.
"Why would you continue to sell something that causes so much harm to our community, to our children?" said Lisa Barth, one of the moms behind the campaign.
Owners who are participating have posted the signed petition in their store windows. That includes the Citgo gas station at Sashabaw and Maybee roads, plus seven other stores they own.
"We wanted to set ourselves apart from a station that will do anything for a buck," said Rocky Pauley, regional manager.
The Marathon gas station down the road still sells "spice," the generic name for the products which are sold as potpourri or incense. That owner said on the phone that it is legal and they answer to a demand from customers.

Two other liquor store owners in the area would not let Local 4 cameras inside but said they have stopped selling.
"It says right on it, 'Not for human consumption.' I tell all of them, you're messing your brain up. It's killing them. You can see it. It's obvious," said Noah De Voe, 21.
De Voe said 90 percent of his friends use it.
K2 connected to violent crimes in Oakland County:
The recent murder cases of the Cipriano and Hoffman families have brought the use of "spice" to light, causing parents to talk with their teenage kids.
"It's just not anything that you want to try because it's toxic," said David Alexander, a father of two teenage boys.

Wow. This guy reminds me of Lyndon LaRouche. A "deep thinker" who throws in just enough facts to try to make us believe he isn't a crackpot.

A season that started with high expectations in the City by the Bay ended in disappointment for the San Francisco 49ers in St. Louis, costing head coach Mike Singletary his job in the process.
The team, which lost 25-17 to the Rams with a potential playoff appearance on the line, announced the firing after the team returned home to the Bay Area Sunday night, reports ESPN.
The defeat eliminated the Niners from the playoffs for the eighth straight season and leaves the team heading into the off season with a slew of questions about the future direction of the franchise.
Singletary, a Hall of Fame linebacker who terrorized opposing players as part of the famed Chicago Bears defenses of the 1980s, took over as interim coach last year after San Francisco fired head coach Mike Nolan mid-season. The team displayed a competitive spirit and finished the season with a 5-4 mark, generating enthusiasm amongst the starved fan base.
But the 2010 season started with the Niners, who were expected to contend for the NFC West crown, dropping their first five games and found the team eventually dealing with a quarterback controversy between Alex and Troy Smith that was never resolved. Star running back Frank Gore also fractured his hip in the second half of the season, robbing the team of its most consistent offensive threat.
In a statement, Singletary expressed his gratitude at having the chance to take the reigns, even if it didn't end the way he wanted.
"One of the greatest experiences of my life was having the opportunity to coach the San Francisco 49ers, " he said. "I wish the 49ers nothing but the best. I am thankful to the York family for having given me the opportunity to be a head coach in the NFL. I am indebted to them for that. I am also thankful for the Faithful fans, I am just sorry I couldn't give them more."
Singletary finished with a 18-22 record in two plus seasons with the franchise. Defensive line coach Jim Tomsula will lead the team in its season finale against the Arizona Cardinals.
The Niners are not completely lost, though. In addition to Gore, the offense features other young play makers such as All-Pro tight end Vernon Davis and wide receiver Michael Crabtree. On the other side of the ball, they have standout linebacker Patrick Willis. Due to their win/loss record, they may have a shot at a franchise quarterback in the draft, with Stanford star and Heisman runner-up Andrew Luck surely at the top of their wish list. And there are rumors that former 49ers assistant and current "Monday Night Football" analyst Jon Gruden could potentially be interested in the coaching position.

Kane dazzles in viral videoby Brian Hedger / Chicago Blackhawks
SOUTH BEND, Ind. – The advertising spot Patrick Kane did to promote the Bauer Vapor APX2 hockey stick was released Friday and became an instant hit online.
The video, which shows Kane stickhandling his way through three circular mazes of pucks at United Center, spread quickly. People shared it on social media sites in droves and almost all the comments were about the Chicago Blackhawks star right-winger's incredibly high skill level.
Kane never touches a single puck with either his stick or skates, despite more pucks being put into the maze as the video progresses.
"When they had the idea and they told me how many pucks were going to be in the center, I was like, 'I don't know if I can do it,'" Kane said, following Chicago's second day of training camp at Notre Dame's Compton Family Ice Arena. "I tried it with a few and said, 'Why not throw a few more of them in there and see if I can do it, and if not, then we'll stop it.' But it was cool. It was fun. Then to see the final product was awesome."
So, the video was all real?
"Yeah," Kane said. "Well, except for the end part … where I throw the puck and it breaks the camera. Other than that, it was all me, I guess. I don't know how many [takes it took]. It was probably 15-20 minutes of doing it and at first I didn't think I was going to be able to do it with all the pucks in there. But you get into it and get competitive and things like that … you want to try it out. It was pretty cool."

The U.S. Embassy in Port of Spain was pleased to participate in the "Women Leaders as Agents of Change -- Caribbean Regional Colloquium," which was hosted by Prime Minister of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago Kamla Persad-Bissessar on June 29-30.
The Colloquium brought female political leaders, parliamentarians, and civil society representatives from around the region to address issues related to women's political participation in the region. Participants shared experiences and challenges, strengthened the network of Caribbean women in politics, raised awareness about gender equality commitments in international agreements, and agreed on priorities and goals for advancing women's interests in the political, public, and private sectors throughout the Caribbean.
The high-level U.S. delegation attending the Colloquium demonstrates our strong commitment to advancing policies that support the political and societal concerns affecting women. Ambassador Carmen Lomellin, U.S. Permanent Representative to the Organization of American States, led the U.S. delegation, accompanied by U.S. Ambassador to Trinidad and Tobago Beatrice Welters, Congresswoman Yvette Clarke (NY-11), former New York City Councilwoman Dr. Una Clarke, and several representatives from the U.S. Department of State. In a personal video message, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton sent her greetings and congratulations to participants and organizers. Participants received the video enthusiastically, commenting that they felt encouraged and inspired by the Secretary's interest and support.
To continue the momentum from the conference, a year-long "Women's Leadership Development Series" will involve women from the Caribbean and from the United States in professional exchanges, speaking tours, cultural presentations, videoconferences, and other fora to build networks and raise awareness of women as leaders.
The U.S. government was particularly pleased to be part of this Colloquium, because 2011 is the Global Centenary Year of International Women's Day, making this a unique opportunity to focus on the realities of women over the past 100 years after. This event was also a forerunner to a proposed high-level colloquium on "Women Leaders as Agents of Change in the Global Fight against Poverty" to be held on the margins of the United Nations General Assembly in September.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
In a dramatic turn of events, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced early Tuesday morning that early general elections tentatively scheduled for September 4 were cancelled, and that he had forged a unity government with the opposition Kadima Party.
The move took the entire country and all but the few Knesset members privy to the unity talks by complete surprise. Netanyahu's announcement came just hours before the Knesset was to officially dissolve itself, at the request of Netanyahu.
The deal requires Kadima to support government policies until the end of its term in October 2013. In return, Netanyahu will back Kadim's proposal to replace Israel's Tal Law, which until now had allowed Orthodox Jewish men to indefinitely defer military service. A growing number of Israelis have been protesting the Tal Law, insisting that it allows a large segment of society to get out of national service, even while that same segment enjoys the benefit of so much government welfare.
Netanyahu and new Kadima leader Shaul Mofaz also agreed that by the end of this year they would table a proposal for revamping Israel's electoral system. No details were available at press time.
The unity deal is a boon for Mofaz, who took the reins of Kadima just a month ago. It was predicted that Kadima would have lost more than half of its current 28 Knesset seats in early elections. The deal also tremendously benefits Netanyahu, who is now head of one of the largest governing coalitions in Israel's history, granting him unprecedented stability for the next 18 months.
In addition to the political benefits for both parties, there is also a lot of speculation that the sudden unity deal was as much about Iran as anything else. If Israel is going to strike Iran's nuclear facilities, and experts agree a strike would have to happen this year, it is desirable that Israel be led by a unity government at a time of such crisis.

Bobby Brown Reveals What Happened at Whitney Houston's Funeral + More in Part 2 of TODAY Chat
The second part of Bobby Brown's revealing interview with the skeptical Matt Lauer of TODAY aired this morning (May 3). The first half aired yesterday.
In this intimate chat, the candid singer spoke about what happened at his ex-wife Whitney Houston's funeral and his relationships with Bobbi Kristina and his other children, who were referred to as his "entourage" at Whit's services.
About the funeral, Brown disputes the idea that he was not welcome. Remember, he was married to Houston for 14 years and was close with her family, something they admitted. "I was invited, to come pay respects to my ex-wife," he said, shooting down the idea that the Houstons didn't want him on site. He continued, "That's not the type of family the Houston family is. They are a great family and I appreciate them very much."
However, Brown exited early, due to the fact that his children were treated like "entourage." He said, "Whoever the security was there asked me to have my what they called my 'entourage,' which was my children, sit somewhere else. I didn't want to sit away from my children." Later in the chat, Brown's kids point out that they, too, loved Whit and were there to say goodbye.
Brown continued, "After the third time coming to me, I felt a little disrespected. I decided it would be best if I just left. I kissed the casket and me and my children left the building."
Rumors of a rift with Whitney's mother Cissy are exaggerated, he said. He has reached out to her, but they've yet to make contact. "She lost her only daughter," Brown said with empathy. "I love her dearly and I am here anytime she wants to talk."
As for his recent arrest for DUI, he copped to being "clean and sober from narcotics" and has been for seven years. But he's not perfect. "I do drink," Brown said. "I am not allowed to drink for the next 30 days. I do have a cocktail occasionally. I will again."
When Lauer mentioned Bobbi Kris, he smiled. "She is a strong girl," he said. "Her mom taught her well. She knows her mom is gone and she knows she has to live." He is not worried that she is in danger of addiction at this point, even though he will always have that as a concern — given his and Whitney's drug problems and the fact that he is a caring father. He also said that she is not dating her adopted brother, per their conversation. That part of the interview was a bit awkward, as Lauer probed Brown about how much he knew on this private issue.
Brown's four other children sat down and espoused his virtues as a dad. One of his daughters mentioned that she had known Whit since they were 3 and loved her and wanted to say goodbye, but didn't get that chance. She reminds viewers that they were all family at one point.
