This year's World Tourism Day (WTD) 2011 is being celebrated under the theme "Tourism – Linking Cultures". The day is a celebration of tourism's role in linking together the cultures of the world through travel.
"In a global environment marked by rising intolerance and crosscultural tensions, often exacerbated by the economic divide between nations, tourism can foster spiritual and cultural respect among and between peoples, while creating economic opportunities to benefit disadvantaged populations." Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.
Tourism is not merely an economic and commercial activity, but one of the world's principal instruments for human interaction. With a record 940 million international tourist arrivals in 2010, never before have so many people travelled so widely, nor come into contact with such a diverse range of cultures. This interaction between individuals and communities, and their diverse cultures, leads to tolerance, respect and mutual understanding - the building blocks for a more peaceful world.
Egypt, who is hosting this year's WTD, is the cradle of one of the world's earliest civilizations, providing the ideal setting to discuss the 2011 theme. For thousands of years, successive cultures have travelled across Egypt, resulting in a vibrant and rich heritage that attracts millions of tourists. It is this process of coming together through travel that is at the very heart of the 2011 World Tourism Day celebrations.
World Tourism Day is celebrated annually on 27 September since 1980. The timing of the day is particularly appropriate in that it comes at the end of the high season in the northern hemisphere and the beginning of the season in the southern hemisphere, when tourism is of topical interest to hundreds of thousands of people worldwide.

Doublet (clothing)
A doublet is a man's snug-fitting buttoned jacket that is shaped and fitted to the man's body which was worn in Western Europe from the Middle Ages through to the mid-17th century. The doublet was hip length or waist length and worn over the shirt or drawers. Until the end of the 15th century the doublet was worn under another layer of clothing such as a gown, mantle, or overtunic. The term also refers to a formal jacket worn with highland dress, a variation of which is called an Argyll jacket or Prince Charlie jacket (or coatee).
Originally it was a mere stitched and quilted lining ("doubling"), worn under a hauberk or cuirass to prevent bruising and chafing. Doublets were frequently opened to the waistline in a deep V. The edges might be left free or laced across the shirt front. If there was space left it might be filled with a stomacher. By the 1520s, the edges of the doublet met at the center front. Then, like many other originally practical items in the history of men's wear, from the late 15th century onward it became elaborated enough to be seen on its own. A similar jacket, the sherwani, is worn today in India.
Throughout the 300 years of its use, the doublet served the same purpose: to give fashionable shape and padding to the body, to support the hose by providing ties, and to provide warmth to the body. The only thing that changed about the doublet over its history was its style and cut.
The doublet developed from the padded garments worn under armour, such as the gambeson, aketon, arming doublet.[1]
Fourteenth and fifteenth centuries[edit]
Doublets of the 14th and 15th centuries were generally hip-length, sometimes, shorter, worn over the shirt and hose, with a houppelande or other form of overgown.
From the late 14th century, doublets were cut and padded to give the wearer an egg-shaped or pigeon-breasted silhouette, a fashion that gradually died out in favor of a flatter natural fit.
Later sixteenth century[edit]
Through the Tudor period, fashionable doublets remained close-fitting with tight sleeves, but acquired long skirts and elaborate surface decoration such as pinks (patterns of small cuts in the fabric), slashes, embroidery, and applied braid.
In the early Elizabethan period, doublets were padded over the belly with bombast in a "pouter pigeon" or "peascod" silhouette. Sleeve attachments at the shoulder were disguised by decorative wings, tabs, or piccadills, and short skirt-like peplums or piccadills covered the waist of the hose or breeches. Padding gradually fell out of fashion again, and the doublet became close-fitting with a deep V-waistline.
More images:
- Edward VI in an elaborately trimmed and pinked, long-skirted late Tudor doublet under a crimson gown with hanging sleeves.
- Martin Frobisher in a peascod-bellied doublet under a buff jerkin.
- Sir Philip Sidney, when governor of Flushing in the Low Countries, chose to be portrayed in his doublet, but still in a gorget, as if he were caught in the act of setting aside his armour to institute a civil government.
Seventeenth century[edit]
By the 17th century, doublets were short-waisted. A typical sleeve of this period was full and slashed to show the shirt beneath; a later style was full and paned or slashed to just below the elbow and snug below. Decorative ribbon points were pulled through eyelets on the breeches and the waist of the doublet to keep the breeches in place, and were tied in elaborate bows.
The doublet fell permanently out of fashion in the mid-17th century when Louis XIV of France and Charles II of England established a court costume for men consisting of a long coat, a waistcoat, a cravat, a wig, and breeches—the ancestor of the modern suit.
Highland Dress[edit]
Doublet is also a term describing a type of jacket worn with formal highland dress. This garment is similar to a mess jacket, with buttoned gauntlet cuffs, short or no skirts, and with or without lapels. It may have a row of silver heraldic buttons on each side. It may be worn with a lace jabot and cuff set, and a high-buttoned waistcoat. It is typically made of velvet or wool, with satin lapels, and may feature epaulettes. The highland doublet is jacobean in style and may date to that period or earlier.
The Regulation kilt doublet is a typically black double-breasted jacket with satin peaked lapels, buttoned gauntlet cuffs, and epaulettes, similar to the Prince Charlie coatee, which it pre-dates. Unlike the coatee, which is cut like a mess jacket, the doublet has braided "tashes" (otherwise known as Inverness skirts/flaps) at the front and back. The Regulation doublet was at one time the regulation uniform jacket of the Highland regiments, and is worn with a three-button waistcoat which may be made from the same cloth as the jacket.
The Balmoral Kilt Doublet is a double-breasted jacket traditionally made from velvet. It is usually worn with a belt and black bow tie. It may be worn for both black tie and white tie events.
The Kenmore kilt doublet is a single-breasted jacket, worn buttoned up (no lapels) and without a waistcoat. It is traditionally made from velvet and is always worn with a belt, lace jabot and cuffs. It may be worn on all formal occasions. It is named after the town of Kenmore which lies at the east of Loch Tay.
The Sheriffmuir kilt doublet is a double-breasted jacket with gauntlet cuffs and a stand collar with no lapels. It is typically worn open with a waistcoat, lace jabot and cuffs. Sheriffmuir lies between Dunblane and Stirling overlooking the Allan Water. In 1715 a battle was fought here between the Jacobites under the Earl of Mar and the Government forces under the Duke of Argyll.

"All The Whites Will Die Tonight!:
That's what a Hispanic woman, Miriam Leticia Malave, yelled as she and three Hispanic men began attacking white patrons in the M&T Bar in Shenandoah, Pennsylvania last week. Malave attacked a female bartende Melissa Elrod, with a baseball bat.
Shenandoah is full of Hispanics. How did a small town in Pennsylvania become overrun with mestizos? You'll have to ask George "Family Values Don't Stop at the Rio Grande" Bush about that.
Miss him yet? Well, don't forget – Sarah Palin says it would be "inhumane" to deport people like Malave and her gang of thugs, so you'll get a chance to vote for more of the same in 2012.
Last September, Malave stabbed a woman in the thigh and stomach outside La Casita bar in Shenandoah. She was awaiting trial on those charges when she led the attack on white people last week.
Plus, in 2006, Malave and "three Hispanic men" tried to attack white people with baseball bats. When the would be victims escaped, they instead began smashing their cars with the bats.
Prosecutors initially charged the four with hatecrime, criminal mischief, and recklessly endangering another person and conspiracy in the 2006 attack, but then dropped all those charges and reduced it to disorderly conduct.
Do you think if four whites had chased a bunch of Mexicans with baseball bats and then smashed their cars up they would have gotten off with disorderly conduct charges, and without a hatecrime charge?
Me neither.
But Miriam Leticia Malave and three other Hispanics got away with it in 2006.
And now, they've actually attacked white people with ball bats, while yelling "all whites will die tonight!" and guess what?
The prosecutor hasn't filed hatecrime charges this time either. In fact, none of the three Mexicans who beat the whites in the bar have even been arrested.
The DA says he "hasn't ruled out" hatecrime charges in this case.
Hasn't ruled them out?
Try to imagine the DA "not ruling out" hate crimes charges if four whites had gone after a bunch of Mexicans with ball bats in 2006, and then smashed their cars, and then attacked white people in a bar while screaming that all whites are gonna die tonight a few years later!
The DA would be in jail for a hate crime himself. Eric Holder would see to that.
But, as Eric Holder explained to Congress during hearings on the most recent hate crimes bill, white people aren't a protected class under hatecrime law.
So get used to it, white man. And be sure and vote for Sarah Palin in 2012, so we can keep on celebrating diversity!

Fresh from being shown off at IFA, LG's next Chocolate phone - the BL20 - has been promoted in a new, leaked video.
We not sure how unofficial the leak is, given that we saw the exact same thing happen with the recent LG BL40 Chocolate phone.
But the new BL20 certainly looks the part as the BL40's cheaper little brother, with a super slim design while still bringing a sliding keypad.
There's a 'hidden' touch sensitive key section, much the same as the original Chocolate, and a camera with Schneider-Kreuznach lensed 5MP camera on the back.
A widget hotkey gives access to elements like weather, news and the calendar, and the whole thing is based on LG's proprietary S-Class interface.
The side of the phone houses touch sensitive slider controls, and the piece de resistance (well, sort of) is the ability to scan memo text and capture it for future use on the phone.
We're awaiting news on the new phone from LG (with the UK branch still staying tight-lipped on it, despite showing it on LG's stand at IFA) so we're hoping it debuts before the year is out.

JAKKS TV Games - Ms. Pac-Man Review
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Features, Product Reviews, Video Games
Remember the good old days of gaming? When controllers didn't have a myriad of buttons, levers, and joysticks, but rather a simple handle and a red button? If not, then I must be getting old. Either way, Jakks Pacific / Jakks TV Games has been hard at work developing simple ways to get your retro game on. We review the Ms. Pac-Man TV Games unit - check it out by clicking the link below.
Last year, Jakks Pacific release the Namco TV Games unit. Immediately,
it flew off shelves, and became an elusive treasure to gamers wanting
to relish in the joyful delight of yesteryear. After all, arcades were
big in the 80's, while home consoles were more a luxury rather than
the neccessity they have become to gamers today. Of course, a perfect
arcade translation of Pac-Man didn't hurt either. Well, if you have
still been on the look for the Namco joypad, stop it. Jakks Pacific
has released something that I consider to be an even greater treat.
This time, Ms. Pac-Man is the star.
If you havent yet played a Jakks TV Game joypad, let me explain how it
works. Basically, Jakks packs five games into a controller. You
connect it to your TV using the RCA cable supplied. Turn it on, and
you are gaming. Simple, and oh so sweet.
On the Ms. Pac-Man Jakks TV Games unit, you actually have four other
titles to choose from at the menu screen. Aside from Ms. Pac-Man, you
also get Galaga, Xevious, Mappy, and Pole Position. All perfectly
emulating their arcade counterparts.
Playing these games reminded me of how wonderful gaming can be. Note
that I said gaming, referring to the art of playing a challenging
video game which kicks your tail every chance it can. Beautiful
graphics, 5.1 surround sound, and HDTV is not required for enjoyment
here. These games are all about the (frustratingly difficult)
Since Ms. Pac-Man is the main feature here (and rightfully so), we
will examine her game in a bit more detail than the others. First, the
look, sounds, and cutscenes are all pretty much a direct port of what
gaming old timers used to stuff quarters into. It is that good.
However, the joystick doesnt seem to be as responsive as its arcade
counterpart. What I mean is, there are times when you want Ms. Pac-Man
to turn a certain direction to avoid a villian, only to watch her take
a turn for the worse because she didnt go where you wanted her to. It
doesnt happen all the time, but when it does, it can be very
frustrating. Other than that, the alternating maze boards, fruit, and
ghosts who are a lot smarter than their Pac-Man alternatives all
Looking at the rest of the games, its easy to write them off as
"filler", but they too offer up quite a bit of fun. Galaga and Xevious
are a little too similar for my personal tastes, but that may just be
me. I really dont need two aircraft shoot-em-ups on one unit. Mappy,
seems like a mix between the original Mario Bros. game, and Pac-Man.
You basically guide Mappy across a few multi-leveled platforms to grab
various items without getting hit by one of the bad guys. And then
there is Pole Position - one of my favorite retro games of all time. I
just loved sitting in that arcade drivers seat as a kid, trying to win
the races using the steering wheel.
Jakks wanted to keep that steering wheel feeling alive, and after I
figured out how the game worked after about 30 minutes, I liked it.
You see, the joystick is also an analog controller. Instead of pushing
to the left or right, you swivel the joystick itself to the left or
right, as if you are screwing and unscrewing it. It works very well -
I just wish Jakks would have made it clear that this is how this game
worked. I tried many a time to get my car to turn by using the
joystick the normal way, and it just wasnt happening.
Some games allow you to input your initials so that you can see your
name in lights, but once you turn off the unit, that gets erased. It
seems that the feature isnt there for anything other than the
nostalgia purposes.
All in all, the unit is solid. It requires 4 AA batteries for
operation, and that is pretty much it, aside from yoru TV. It keeps
things simple with just the joystick and two buttons, and is a
definate must buy both for retro gamers, as well as the little ones
growing up nowadays. In my opinion, Jakks TV Games Ms. Pac-Man is a
great way for all gamers to get to know their roots.

Lists are used to group related pieces of information together, so they are clearly associated with each other and easy to read. In modern web development lists are workhorse elements, frequently used for navigation as well as general content.
Lists are good from a structural point of view as they help create a well-structured, more accessible, easy-to-maintain document. They are also useful for a purely practical reason — they give you extra elements to attach CSS styles to, for a whole variety of styling (we'll get on to CSS later in the course.
In this part, we will cover the different list types available in HTML, when and how you should use them, with a couple of practical examples at the end.
The three list types
There are three list types in HTML:
- unordered list — used to group a set of related items, in no particular order.
- ordered list — used to group a set of related items, in a specific order.
- description list — used to display name/value pairs such as terms and their definitions, or times and events.
Each one has a specific purpose and meaning — they are not interchangeable.
Unordered lists
Unordered lists, or bulleted lists, are used when a set of items can be placed in any order. An example is a shopping list:
- milk
- bread
- butter
- coffee beans
These items are all part of one list, however, you could put the items in any order and the list would still make sense:
- bread
- coffee beans
- milk
- butter
You can use CSS to change the bullet to one of several default styles, use your own image, or even display the list without bullets—we'll look at how to do that in the Styling lists and links article.
Unordered list markup
Unordered lists use one set of

 tags, wrapped around many sets of

:

coffee beans

Ordered lists
Ordered lists, or numbered lists, are used to display a list of items that need to be placed in a specific order. An example would be cooking instructions, which must be completed in order for the recipe to work:
- Gather ingredients
- Mix ingredients together
- Place ingredients in a baking dish
- Bake in oven for an hour
- Remove from oven
- Allow to stand for ten minutes
- Serve
If the list items were moved around into a different order, the information would no longer make sense:
- Gather ingredients
- Bake in oven for an hour
- Serve
- Remove from oven
- Place ingredients in a baking dish
- Allow to stand for ten minutes
- Mix ingredients together
Ordered lists can be displayed with one of several numbering or alphabetic systems—that is, letters or numbers. The default in most browsers is decimal numbers, but there are more options:
- Letters
- Lowercase ascii letters (a, b, c…)
- Uppercase ascii letters (A, B, C…).
- Lowercase classical Greek: (?, ?, ?…)
- Numbers
- Decimal numbers (1, 2, 3…)
- Decimal numbers with leading zeros (01, 02, 03…)
- Lowercase Roman numerals (i, ii, iii…)
- Uppercase Roman numerals (I, II, III…)
- Traditional Georgian numbering (an, ban, gan…)
- Traditional Armenian numbering (mek, yerku, yerek…)
Again, you can use CSS to change the style of your ordered lists.
Ordered list markup
Ordered lists use one set of

 tags, wrapped around many sets of

:

Gather ingredients

Mix ingredients together

Place ingredients in a baking dish

Bake in oven for an hour

Remove from oven

Allow to stand for ten minutes

Beginning ordered lists with numbers other than 1
It is possible to get an ordered list to start with a number other than 1 (or i, or I, etc.). This is done using the <start> attribute, which takes a numeric value, even if you're using CSS to change the the list counters to be alphabetic, roman or. This is useful if you have a single list of items, but you want to break the list up with some kind of note, or some other related information. For example, we could do this with the previous example:

Gather ingredients

Mix ingredients together

Place ingredients in a baking dish

Before you place the ingredients in the baking dish, preheat the oven to 180 degrees centigrade/350 degrees fahrenheit in readiness for the next step

Bake in oven for an hour

Remove from oven

Allow to stand for ten minutes

This gives the following result:
- Gather ingredients
- Mix ingredients together
- Place ingredients in a baking dish
Before you place the ingredients in the baking dish, preheat the oven to 180 degrees centigrade/350 degrees fahrenheit in readiness for the next step
- Bake in oven for an hour
- Remove from oven
- Allow to stand for ten minutes
- Serve
Note that this attribute was deprecated in HTML 4, so it will make your page not validate if you are using an HTML4 strict doctype. If you want to make use of such functionality in an HTML4 strict page, and it absolutely has to validate, you can do it using CSS Counters instead. <start> has however been reinstated in HTML5, which is a good thing, as it is useful.
Description lists
Description lists associate specific names and their values within a list, for example items in an ingredient list and their descriptions, article metadata such as authors and categories and their values, or competition winners and the years in which they won. Let's explore the ingredient list example a bit more deeply. You could write an ingredients list like so:
A white, liquid dairy product.
A baked food made of flour or meal.
A yellow, solid dairy product.
coffee beans
The seeds of the fruit from certain coffee trees.
Note: In HTML4, description lists were called definition lists, so if you hear that term mentioned in conversation, then just assume you are talking about a description list. HTML5 has changed the definition of this type of list to the more general "description list" because designers and developers were all too often using description lists to mark up name/value groups that weren't items and descriptions.
You can have as many name-value groups as you like, but there must be at least one name and at least one value in each pair. You can associate more than one value with a single name, or vice versa. For example, the term "coffee" can have several meanings, and you could show them one after the other:
a beverage made from roasted, ground coffee beans
a cup of coffee
a social gathering at which coffee is consumed
a medium to dark brown colour
Alternatively you can have more than one name with the same value. This is useful to show variations of a term, all of which have the same meaning:
fizzy drink
a sweet, carbonated beverage.
Description lists are different from the other kinds of list, as they use names and values instead of list items. You wrap a description list in one set of

 elements, wrapped around groups of

 (name) and

 (value) tags. You must pair at least one

 with at least one

; a

 should always come first in the source order.
A simple description list of single names with single values would look like this:
This is rendered as follows:
In this example, we associate more than one value with a name, and vice versa:

Value that applies to the preceding name

Value that applies to both of the preceding name

Name that can have both of the following values

One value of the name

Another value of the name

Which would render as follows:
Value that applies to the preceding name
Name Name
Value that applies to both of the preceding names
Name that can have one of the following values
One value of the name
Another value of the name

Choosing between list types
When trying to decide what type of list to use, you can usually decide by asking two simple questions:
- Am I defining terms or associating other name/value pairs?
- If yes, use a description list.
- If no, don't use a description list — go on to the next question.
- Is the order of the list items important?
- If yes, use an ordered list.
- If no, use an unordered list.
The difference between HTML lists and text
You may be wondering what the difference is between an HTML list and some text with bullets or numbers written in by hand. Well, there are several advantages to using an HTML list:
- If you have to change the order of the list items in an ordered list, you simply move around the list item elements. If you wrote the numbers in manually you would have to go through and change every single item's number to correct the order — which is tedious to say the least!
- Using an HTML list allows you to style the list properly – you can use CSS to style just the list elements. If you just use a blob of text, you will find it more difficult to style the individual items in any useful manner, as the elements used will be the same as used for every other piece of text.
- Using an HTML list gives the content the proper semantic structure, as well as a "list-ish" visual effect. This has important benefits such as allowing screen readers to tell users with visual impairments they are reading a list, rather than just reading out a confusing jumble of text and numbers.
To put it another way: text and lists are not the same. Using text instead of a list makes more work for you and can create problems for your document's readers. So if your document needs a list, you should use the correct HTML list.
Nesting lists
A list item can contain another entire list — this is known as "nesting" a list. It is useful for things like tables of contents, such as the one at the start of this article:
- Chapter One
- Section One
- Section Two
- Section Three
- Chapter Two
- Chapter Three
The key to nesting lists is to remember that the nested list should relate to one specific list item. To reflect that in the code, the nested list is contained inside that list item. The code for the list above looks something like this:

Chapter One

Section One

Section Two

Section Three

Chapter Two

Chapter Three

Note how the nested list starts after the
 and the text of the containing list item ("Chapter One"); then ends before the
 of the containing list item. Nested lists often form the basis for website navigation menus, as they are a good way to define the hierarchical structure of the website.
Theoretically you can nest as many lists as you like, although in practice it can become confusing to nest lists too deeply. For very large lists, you may be better off splitting the content up into several lists with headings instead, or even splitting it up into separate pages.
Step by step example
Let's run through a step by step example, to put all of this together. Consider the following scenario:
You are creating a small website for the HTML Cooking School. On the main page, you are to show a list of categorised recipes, linking through to recipe pages. Each recipe page lists the ingredients required, notes on those ingredients and the preparation method. The three categories are:
- Cakes (including recipes for Plain Sponge, Chocolate Cake and Apple Tea Cake)
- Biscuits (including recipes for ANZAC Biscuits, Jam Drops and Melting Moments)
- Quickbreads (including recipes for Damper and Scones)
The client doesn't mind what order the categories and recipes are shown; they just want to be sure people know which items are categories and which ones are recipes.
Let's step through the process of creating this site.
Main page markup
- Create a properly-formed HTML page, including a doctype, ,  and  elements, and save it as stepbystep-main.html. Add a main heading (
) of "HTML Cooking School", and a subheading (
) of "Recipes":

HTML Cooking School

- You have three categories of recipe to represent, and the order is not important — an unordered list is most appropriate for these, so add the following to your page:
Indenting the
 elements makes the code more readable, but it is not required.
- Now you need to add the recipes as sub-items, for example "Plain Sponge", "Chocolate Cake" and "Apple Tea Cake" are all part of the "Cakes" category. To do this, you need to create a nested list within each item. Since the order is not important, once again unordered lists are appropriate. To make things easier for the tutorial, I'll get you to link all of the recipes to one single recipe page (html links lets build a web explains HTML links in depth].):

Plain Sponge

Chocolate Cake

Apple Tea Cake

ANZAC Biscuits

Jam Drops

Melting Moments

Damper

Scones

The final result should be something similar to Figure 1:
Figure 1: The finished main page.
You can also view the live example page here.
The recipe page
For the sake of the example, we will just create the sponge cake recipe page — feel free to create the others yourself, using this one as a template. The HTML Cooking School has supplied the sponge recipe to you in a text file, looking like this:
Simple Sponge Cake
3 eggs
100g castor sugar
85g self-raising flour
Notes on ingredients:
Caster Sugar – Finely granulated white sugar.
Self-raising flour – A pre-mixed combination of flour and leavening agents (usually salt and baking powder).
1. Preheat the oven to 190°C.
2. Grease a 20cm round cake pan.
3. In a medium bowl, whip together the eggs and castor sugar until fluffy.
4. Fold in flour.
5. Pour mixture into the prepared pan.
6. Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the top of the cake springs back when lightly pressed.
7. Cool in the pan over a wire rack.
Recipe page markup
- Create another properly-formed HTML document, and save it as stepbystep-recipe.html. Add the following headings to it:

Simple Sponge Cake

Notes on ingredients

- The ingredients list has several items but the order isn't important. An unordered list therefore makes sense. Add the following into the  of your HTML:

3 eggs

100g castor sugar

85g self-raising flour

- The notes on the ingredients are there to properly define what some of the ingredients are. You need to associate the ingredient — the name — with its value. A description list is right for this purpose. Add the following to your HTML, below the unordered list in the previous step:

Notes on ingredients

Castor Sugar

Finely granulated white sugar.

Self-raising flour

A pre-mixed combination of flour and leavening agents (usually salt and baking powder).

- The method must obviously follow a single correct order, so it should be an ordered list — add the following to your HTML, below the description list:

Preheat the oven to 190°C.

Grease a 20cm round cake pan.

In a medium bowl, whip together the eggs and castor sugar until fluffy.

Fold in flour.

Pour mixture into the prepared pan.

Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the top of the cake springs back when lightly pressed.

Cool in the pan over a wire rack.

The page should look something like Figure 2:
Figure 2: The finished recipe page.
You can also view the live example page here.
You're done!
By this stage you should have a clear understanding of the three different list types in HTML. Using the step-by-step example, you should have created all three and learned how to nest lists inside list items.
Once you know how to use HTML lists properly, you will probably discover that you use them all the time. There is a lot of content on the web that should have been placed into a list, but was just thrown into a generic element with some line break tags. It's a lazy practice that causes far more problems than it solves — so don't do it! You should always create semantically correct lists to help people read your websites. It is a better practice for everyone, not least yourself when you need to maintain your sites later on.

Search for Second Innerbelt Bridge Construction Team Officially Begins
New design, construction and finance approach is first-of-its-kind in Ohio
COLUMBUS (Tuesday, November 20, 2012) – The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) today officially launched the search for a qualified design, construction and finance team to build the new eastbound Innerbelt Bridge in Cleveland and demolish the aging structure motorists currently use as they drive into and out of the city's downtown on Interstate 90. The team will provide initial financing and construct the bridge; ODOT will then pay the team back over a set time.
"I've said before, 'this isn't your Grandpa's ODOT,' meaning that – in many instances – the old way of delivering some of these major road and bridge construction projects is no longer sustainable," said ODOT Director Jerry Wray. "We must innovate and we must seek out new ways of generating money in order to deliver these large transportation projects that communities want and need in order to continue our state's economic recovery and create jobs."
This is the first time the state has pursued a design-build-finance (DBF) approach for the construction of a major transportation project in Ohio. However, the practice is widely used in others states and countries. In 2011, Ohio's legislature was the 30
in the nation to approve public-private-partnerships (P3's) that will allow ODOT to reconsider how it plans, constructs and delivers road and bridge projects in local communities.
The DBF teams will have until December 21, 2012 to respond to ODOT's request for qualifications (RFQ), which is posted to the agency's website today. The list of qualified respondents will be narrowed to no more than three following a defined scoring model outlined in the RFQ. Those teams will be asked to develop technical and financial proposals and provide them to ODOT. A final winning team is likely to be selected by the summer of 2013.
The Innerbelt Bridge project includes replacing the current aging span on I-90 with two new bridges and expands the number of lanes from eight to ten. Crews are currently working to build the new westbound bridge, and it alone is the largest project in ODOT history.
The DBF team will be responsible for financing a portion of the estimated $330 million cost of constructing the new eastbound bridge and demolishing the current bridge. Construction is anticipated to begin in late 2013 or early 2014, once the first westbound bridge is complete.
In January 2012, ODOT announced a $1.6 billion transportation funding gap that pushed back by decades some of the state's largest construction projects, including the construction of Cleveland's second Innerbelt Bridge. Pursuit of a DBF team has allowed ODOT to return the bridge project to its original construction start date.
A copy of the RFQ is available

Apple largely impressed investors on Tuesday by announcing a record second-quarter performance that nearly doubled its year-over-year earnings. The company posted quarterly revenues of $39.2 billion and a net profit of $11.6 billion in a quarter that typically sags after the holiday season, citing "fabulous" levels of success globally with both the iPhone and iPad and better-than-market growth when it came to Mac sales. But in addition to the numbers, Apple CEO Tim Cook offered some strong words on the company's position regarding lawsuit settlements and discussed the possibility of merging the iPad with the MacBook Air—two hot topics among the analysts on the call.
During the second quarter, Apple sold 35.1 million iPhones (up 88 percent year over year) and 11.8 million iPads (up 151 percent year over year). Apple also sold 4 million Macs (up 7 percent from a year ago) and 7.7 million iPods (down 15 percent). Apple said during its conference call that its iPod sales were still higher than expected and the iPod touch made up more than half of the iPods sold. The company also said that it has sold a cumulative total of 67 million iPads since its launch almost exactly two years ago. "It took us five years to sell that many iPods and three years to sell that many iPhones," Cook said on the call.
One of the most talked-about topics from the call was centered on product convergence and whether Apple would want to mimic the PC market by trying to mash an iPad and a MacBook Air into a single product. "Anything can be forced to converge, but the problem is that those products are about tradeoffs, and you begin to make tradeoffs to the point where what you have left doesn't please anyone," Cook said. "You can merge a toaster and a refrigerator but those things aren't going to be pleasing to the user. To make a compromise in convergence—we're not going to that party."
The company also shed some more light on its efforts in China by pointing out that revenue was at a record $7.9 billion there during the quarter, up more than three times year over year. Revenue in China for the first half of 2012 was $12.4 billion compared to $13.3 billion for all of fiscal 2011, so things are obviously looking strong. Cook also pointed out that China has yet to even get the new iPad, and that the iPhone 4S saw a wildly successful launch there in January.
Finally, one analyst dared ask a question about Apple's litigation battles when it comes to patents. "I've always hated litigation and I continue to hate it," Cook said, but "we just want people to invent their own stuff." Cook went on to say that the company is open to the possibility of settling with the likes of Samsung, Motorola, et al "if we could get to some kind of arrangement where we'd be assured [they are inventing their own products] and get a fair settlement on the stuff that's occurred," but emphasized that such a thing would only happen as long as "Apple does not become the developer for the world."

It wasn't just DF and DoD in the room when this happened it included other Departments
This isn't heresay either
It was done as in finished
We aren't talking about a future MRV deployment here we are talking about a humanitarian SAR mission that the NS conducted in the Med.... that DoD try to prevent from happening (after the Taoiseach had already announced that Ireland was going to send a ship to the EU and the media)
Interesting article in the Irish Times, written by a former (very recently) officer. This is the caliber of officer we should be trying to retain.
Some very good quotes in this
And the PSPC report is due to be published today
Liveline was all over it today too. The three retired DF people speaking exposed the problem for all. The DoD is not fit for purpose and works to frustrate the activities of the Defence Forces at every opportunity.
German 1: Private Schnutz, I have bad news for you.
German 2: Private? I am a general!
German 1: That is the bad news.
Interesting news day for the DoD, lays bare the complete lack of connection to defense matters by the leadership of the department charged with the defense portfolio. I see even a retired GO spoke out, well done him. Shame it has to come to this. Awkward timing for Leo too with Brexit looming & the outcome of the EU elections. Irelands not a big defense player in Europe by any means, but this sort of thing won't be well received in Brussels either. Leo needs friends in the EU and doesn't want to be asked "how will you secure the EU/NI border Leo when your own DF seem to be falling apart?"
I'm willing to bet there are some DoD HEO's reaching for the upset tummy medicine tonight. I hope some good comes of it, the troops deserve better. However, as has been pointed out here before, the DF don't really have a constituency in Dail Eireann, so other than the opposition taking a few swipes at the govt, there really isn't anyone to carry a torch for the DF in the Dail. Especially the Minister himself, he seems to be the last one to advocate for his own agency.
Be interesting to watch.
It will take Trump coming over in a few weeks an ATCP request coming in and the relevant DF Officer to say no!, insufficient personnel available for something to be done
Strange how RTE reported this morning that the PSPC was to report today and in the afternoon it became a few weeks
- DoD (and possibly DPER) is getting ready to brief against (positive) recommendations ?
- (positive or negative) recommendations need to be buried on a bad news day (so there isn't an outcry from the DF air other unions)
Lets see you could merge Department for Children with the Department for Education and merge the Department for Rural Affairs with the Department for Communities and local government. Allowing Defence to becomes a Full Ministry again and leaving a spare "Ministry" at cabinet level for an emergency situation.Taoiseach has 'absolute confidence' in Defence Minister despite claims he is 'out of his depth'
Philip Ryan
28 May 2019 6:41 PM
TAOISEACH Leo Varadkar has said he has full confidence in Defence Minister Paul Kehoe after he was severely criticised by the former head of the Army Ranger Wing.
The Taoiseach also shot down the possibility of making the Department of Defence a full Cabinet ministry despite calls from former soldiers and Opposition politicians.
Speaking ahead of an EU Summit in Brussels, Mr Varadkar said: "I have absolute support and confidence in minister Kehoe.
"He is a minister at the Cabinet table and has the same weight as any other minister at the Cabinet table," he added.
The Taoiseach said he would have to scrap another department if he was to make the Department of Defence a full Cabinet ministry.
"I've yet to hear a proposal from anyone whether they think that should be the Department of Children or the Department of Rural Affairs or which one they think it should be," he said.
Retired Commandant Cathal Berry, who headed up the elite Ranger Wing, described Mr Kehoe as an "empty suit" who is "completely out of his depth" and "simply not up to the job".
"As a junior minister he has been the permanent presence in the Department of Defence since 2011 and has therefore presided over the demise of the Defence Forces," Mr Commandant Berry said.
"To reduce a highly effective and proud organisation to an utterly demoralised outfit over an eight-year period is some achievement," he added.
In Brussels, the Taoiseach acknowledged the former Army Ranger's criticism but insisted the Government was investing in the Defence Forces.
"I heard former Commandant Barry's interview this morning and it certainly was a stinging criticism and I think sometimes Government needs to listen to criticism and sometimes take it on board," he said.
An extra €50m is going in this year and none of it is being handed back. It is going into new vessels, new aircraft, new equipment, better barracks and better pay and pension for our defence forces staff.
A Department of Defence spokesperson said the Public Service Pay Commission's report on soldiers pay and conditions will be considered by the Cabinet in the coming weeks.
"Like other areas of the public sector, members of the Defence Forces are benefiting from pay increases in accordance with national public service pay agreements. The focus of these increases is weighted in favour of those on lower pay," he added.
Online Editors
But that would make sense and all leave those TDs who you need to support your government unhappy.
Well, government doesn't stop just because the country's been destroyed!
I mean, annihilation's bad enough without anarchy to make things even worse!
Making Children a full cabinet position was an election manifesto commitment . 15 is your limit according to Bunreacht
"Are they trying to shoot down the other drone? "
"No, they're trying to fly the tank"
Initially they teamed defence and justice together under shatter so the other wexican could be a minister, thus guaranteeing a government. They forgot to change it back after.
German 1: Private Schnutz, I have bad news for you.
German 2: Private? I am a general!
German 1: That is the bad news.

Radiation therapy is one of the most common treatments for cancer. It uses special equipment to aim high doses of radiation at cancer cells. This damages the cancer cells and causes them to die. It can be given alone or used with other treatments, such as surgery or chemotherapy.
Radiation therapy is usually a local treatment, targeting only the tumor. The goal of radiation treatment is to damage as many cancer cells as possible, with little harm to nearby healthy tissue.

A "Reminder" has no points and is given to allow you to familiarize yourself with the Community Rules, without penalizing you.
However, continued violation of the rules or serious violations will be addressed by a "Formal Warning". For each formal warning issued, 1 point is assigned automatically by the system. When members' points reach 3, their membership privileges can be suspended for a period of up to 3 months (a temporary ban). Upon their return to tFS, any further violations, at any time in the future, may result in a permanent ban.
Members' first 2 Formal Warnings are active for 6 months. So with good behavior, they will start to fall off.

Before posting, please consider the following:
1. Before starting a new thread, take a look ensure that there is not already a pre-existing thread discussing the same matter. Mod Team Leaders and Moderators of tFS have the right to delete or merge duplicate threads. If starting a new thread, please post a title that accurately reflects the contents and information within the thread so that members are not misled.
2. Do not post in caps. In message board language it is considered yelling, and as such, rude and offensive. If a thread title or post is typed in caps, it may be edited or deleted at a moderator's discretion.
3. Please think about how you use font sizes and colors. It can easily be overdone, distracting and hard to read. Posts made in this manner may be edited or deleted at a moderator's/Mod Team Leaders discretion.
4. Please do not post the same picture repeatedly in a thread. While we appreciate the sharing of images, it is not necessary to see the same image 6 times. Do not post pictures that mess up the page format. Pictures wider that 800 pixels should be attached rather than posted in full size - Moderators have the right to delete pictures wider than 800 pixels.
5. If you are quoting another member's post and the post has a picture in it, please edit out the image before submitting your reply. Re-quoting an image takes up space on our server and also draining the bandwidth of a photo agency or web site from which the image has been taken.

A collection of scholarly works about individual liberty and free markets. A project of Liberty Fund, Inc.
The following works deal with the idea of private property from a number of perspectives: as a "right" which all individuals have (philosophical), as the basis for the rule of law in a free society (legal), as a key aspect of any properly functioning free market society (economic), and as an important part of the emergence of free societies in the West (historical). Some of the works are critical of the classical liberal idea of property (e.g. Rousseau, Bentham, George).

The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has received a proposed regulation from the Department of Labor regarding the development of a "Guide or Similar Requirement for Section 408(b)(2) Disclosures," which could spell additional expense for retirement plan service providers, says ERISA guru Fred Reish.
Reish (left), partner and chairman of the Financial Services ERISA Team at Drinker Biddle & Reath in Los Angeles, notes that while it's not the DOL's re-proposed fiduciary rule, which he expects to be at OMB in a matter of weeks, this proposed fee-disclosure reg "could have a material impact on the retirement plan community."
While the retirement planning community won't know what the proposed regulation says for about three months—when the OMB approves and releases the proposed regulation—Reish says, DOL "has previously given us an idea about their thinking."
When the DOL issued the final 408(b)(2) regulation last February, it included a "Sample Guide to Initial Disclosures," Reish says, which was not mandated, "but instead was offered as an aide."
The DOL explained in the preamble to the final regulation that "Although the Department is not adopting such a requirement [for a guide] at this time, the Sample Guide published today may be useful, on a voluntary basis, to covered service providers as a format to assist responsible plan fiduciaries with the required disclosures."
Reish says that he and his colleagues at Drinker Biddle have heard that, "based on the DOL's review of 408(b)(2) disclosures, the Department has concluded that plan fiduciaries may, in some cases, have difficulty understanding the required disclosures because of the lengthy, technical and/or multiple disclosure documents that are being distributed."
As a result, he says, "we believe that the proposed regulation may require a guide (or table of contents) for the 408(b)(2) disclosures."
The Sample Guide provided for the disclosure of information at a detailed level. For example, Reish explains, "the Guide had references to page and section numbers in specific documents, and under indirect compensation, the Guide provided a number of categories, including one entitled 'Compensation ABC will receive from other parties that are not related to ABC' ('indirect compensation')."
If the DOL's proposed regulation is similar to the Guide, Reish continiues, and "if, for example, a broker-dealer makes disclosures by delivery of prospectuses, that would require references to each of the mutual fund prospectuses, together with the section and page numbers where the description of 12b-1 fees and other compensation appear."
Most covered service providers, Reish says, "are not providing disclosures that are that detailed or specific," which means that "this could be a big change, which could result in additional administrative work and expense."

The Jewish social justice movement in the U.S. has never been more vibrant than it is today—and that's saying a lot, since Judaism is a religion of doing, not dogma. Generations of rabbis have taken their guidance from Isaiah, who suggested that Jews' religious duty is fulfilled when we "observe what is right and do what is just" (Isaiah 56:1).

The Wilderness Wife and I like to travel. We talk a lot about trips we'd like to take and places we'd like to see. I like to run pretty lean when it's just me, but the wife likes just a little creature comfort when we're out road-tripping and camping for multiple days. A few years ago we saw a couple pull into a camp ground hauling a small teardrop trailer from T@B. That began our obsession with teardrop trailers.
This past May we took a few days off and drove to the Overland Expo outside of Flagstaff, mostly to see friends, but with the secondary motive of checking out the trailer options for overlanding. The Expo proved fruitful and we came home with a stack of brochures for all the trailer and gear options. There were a few stand-outs that we really liked.
The Moby1 Teardrop Trailer…
One of the first trailers we saw that we really liked was from Moby1 Expedition Trailers, LLC. We liked that it was light, clean and simple with high clearance and plenty of options. A very versatile trailer that we could take anywhere and probably tow with any vehicle. They have a variety of configurations ranging from super light, bare bones trailers to heavy duty, cross country, off-road trailers with tons of amenities. A viable option, but we wanted to see more…
So-Cal Teardrops…
We looked around and saw a few others, most of which just didn't fit us. Then we found the setup from So-Cal Teardrops and really liked what we saw. These teardrops were pretty sweet and have a TON of optional upgrades (more than we could ever afford). They fit most of what we were looking for – off-road capability, solar options, water storage and pumping options, kitchen setup, optional bike racks, awnings, etc. As with most of this kind of equipment, there is some sticker shock when you start asking.
Even so, we had the bug after the expo and just couldn't let it go. The wife was shopping for used trailers looking for deals. I wasn't sure if she'd really be as comfortable as she thought in one of these. I mean, they look like they could be stuffy and cramped…it's a tin can in the desert, what's comfortable about that?
So we had to try one. That was that.
When my foot injury kept me from flying off to California to tough out two weeks on the JMT, we decided to spend her birthday camping. We settled on the Grand Canyon and it seemed like the perfect opportunity to try out a teardrop trailer and see if it was something we really thought we would use. Luckily, she found a local outfit renting Little Guy Trailers under the name Old School Teardrop (they no longer exist).
Old School Teardrop Trailers…
I contacted Old School Teardrop via email after checking out their site and Facebook Page. The wife had pretty much decided already that she wanted to try to rent one from them if it was available…and it was her birthday so I had to see what I could do. Jose, the owner of Old School Teardrop, got back to me and we slowly hammered out the details via email. Jose was very accommodating and actually let us pick the trailer up the night before our rental so we could get an early start with it. He has two trailers he rents out and has plans to get another one. Both trailers are kept very clean and he has rules against allowing pets or smokers use the trailers.
My giant truck barely knew the trailer was there. The one we rented was pretty light weight and stripped down. Jose had it outfitted with a bed, storage pockets on one wall and a set of old-school metal lunchboxes on the other wall for storage (pretty cool!). We got the trailer up north and made our first night's stop at Bedrock City. The trailer was still holding some of the heat from the valley and took a while to cool off inside. Even with the roof vent wide open, the two side windows open and the back left wide open all night it was still a little stuffy until about 4 in the morning.
After that first night though, it stayed cooler and was much more comfortable. We spent three more nights camping at the Desert View Campground in Grand Canyon National Park. The trailer gave us a nice spot to chill out, nap, crash at night, change clothes in privacy and a secure place to stash our stuff while we were out exploring. The most important part: After 4 days on the road and camping the wife was not ready to go home! WIN! Four days in and she was ready to keep going and a lot of that had to do with the trailer.
So, it sounds like a trailer of some kind is in our future. It's just a matter of figuring out what we can afford vs. what we need to make it worth while. Renting the trailer was a great learning experience and gave us a lot of information to work with in making a decision. I also think Old School Teardrop will continue to be a great resource for us until we find one of our own. Jose seemed pretty excited about having Wilderness Dave take one of his trailers out. We've already talked about renting one again for an extended trip out to Joshua Tree National Park in the near future.
When I mentioned online that we had rented a teardrop for our trip I had a TON of responses from people on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram asking about the trailer and what I thought of it. The teardrops seem to be really popular right now. If anyone has any questions about the trailer or our experience that I didn't cover here, just hit me up in the comments and I'll do my best to answer.
UPDATE 2015: We have made our decision to get a Teardrop Trailer. We are having one built to our specifications and should have it by the end of the year. Read more about our Teardrop decision here. And check out our builder TCTeardrops.

In November, Silvio Berlusconi bowed out as prime minister after he failed to please the banksters and put together an austerity program for the Italian people.
Mario Monte – former EU commissioner and bankster, top-notch Trilateralist, and Bilderberger – stepped up to take his place as the head of a new "national unity" government. He wasted little time after Berlusconi was out of the way and announced a 30 billion euro ($40.3 billion) package of austerity measures on December 2.
In Italy and Greece thousands of outraged citizens continue to protest austerity. "Deutsche Bank and other German banks loaned huge sums of money to Greece and Italy, knowing for a fact that at least half of the loaned money was being stolen by wealthy personal friends and business partners of government officials, and not caring, because they knew that the ECB would enforce 'austerity,' would demand that people who didn't benefit from those loans, not the wealthy people who did, pay them back by the enforced looting of those countries of every asset," J. Brad Hicks wrote last year as anti-austerity riots intensified.
Now out of favor and obviously no longer of use to the globalists, the elderly Berlusconi faces four years in prison after a court in Milan convicted him of tax evasion. The conviction arrived shortly after Berlusconi announced he will not run for premier in upcoming elections and thus not present a challenge to Super Mario and the ECB banksters.
Berlusconi also faces charges of paying for sex with an under-age teenager and trying to cover it up.

Drinks: A satisfying visit to Italy
The easiest way to visit Italy is via vino. Banfi offers at least four very satisfying routes.
At $11, the Banfi Toscana 2010 Centine Rosso and 2011 Centine Bianco are first-class bargains. These blends are versatile and to the point, and could be mainstays at any party.
The medium-bodied rosso, which brings together sangiovese, cabernet sauvignon and merlot, is a terrific pizza-pasta choice. It also is a solid accompaniment for grilled red meat, from hamburger to steak. The bianco delivers notes of citrus and tropical fruit in its chardonnay-sauvignon blanc-pinot grigio package, and is ideal with seafood or as a sipper.
The wines of Castello Banfi are, vintage after vintage, among the most reliable and fairly priced selections. The aromatic, enticing 2007 Castello Banfi Brunello di Montalcino ($55) is a ruby-hued winner. It will age well, but is immediately accessible, too. Enjoy it with red meats and big cheeses. And the wine is outstanding company with rich pastas.
The 2007 Castello Banfi SummuS ($69) is a stirring red blend made with sangiovese, cabernet sauvignon and syrah. It also has a deep ruby shade. This elegant wine delivers both power and finesse, neatly balanced and fragrant. SummuS has, as you'd expect, a long finish. Expect it to age for years before you uncork it to go with beef, lamb, game and ripe cheeses.

Gen. John Q. T. King's grandfather Benjamin F. Woodson (1845–1912) and his extended family
John Quill Taylor King was born in Memphis, Tennessee, the son of Alice Woodson, a teacher, and John Quill Taylor, a doctor. When his mother remarried after his father's death, he took the surname of his stepfather, Charles King, a funeral director. King graduated from Fisk University in 1941 and then entered the U.S. Army. He retired from the Army Reserves as a Major General.
General King, who had numerous degrees, taught mathematics at Huston-Tillotson College in Austin, Texas, and served as its longest-standing president from 1965 to 1988. In retirement he ran the family mortuary. He and his wife, Marcet Alice Hines, also a college teacher, had three children, two of whom became physicians. General King admired his great-aunt, Minerva Jane Woodson, a teacher who was his main source for much of the Woodson family history. As he said, when explaining the Woodson urge to excel, "Failure was not a word in our family."

For those of the Christian faith, Christmas is the raison d'être for their religion, the fulfilling of God's promise to send His Son to Earth more than 2,000 years ago. Christmas now is celebrated around the world by both Christians and non-Christians through the tradition of gift-giving. In America, we not only exchange gifts, but also freely give of our time and money to help those less fortunate or who are in trouble during this time of the year.
In every community there are organizations that provide tangible benefits to the public and help others in need through volunteering for service projects and monetary and other contributions. Civic clubs and religious organizations raise and give thousands of dollars in assistance every year for medical care, food pantries, weatherization and home heating in the winter, building and repairing homes for less fortunate people and families, student tutoring and scholarships, animal welfare and spay/neuter programs, arts and cultural programs, assisting disabled persons, assisting police and fire fighters to purchase needed equipment, among other forms of aid.
Americans are regarded as the most generous people in the world. We give unselfishly to religious and civic organizations that support our charitable interests to help people both at home and across the globe.
In 2010 Americans donated more than $290 billion to their favorite causes, and four out of every five dollars donated came from individuals and bequests. The breakdown of charitable giving is: individuals, $211.8 billion; foundations, $41 billion; bequests, $22.8 billion; and corporations, $15.3 billion.
Americans donated $23.7 billion in corporate stock; $7.6 billion in clothing, and land valued at $4 billion. Leading the list of recipients of this generosity by a wide margin were churches and religious organizations at $100.6 billion, followed by educational entities, $41.7 billion; foundations, $33 billion; human services, $26.5 billion; organizations benefiting public and societal needs, $24.2 billion; health organizations, $22.8 billion; international affairs, $15.8 billion; arts, culture and humanities, $13.3 billion; and environmental issues and animal welfare, $6.7 billion.
And when disaster strikes anywhere in the world, we respond. We stepped up when the tsunami struck Japan, when an earthquake rocked Haiti. At here at home when Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf Coast in 2006, more than $4 billion was raised to assist victims. We are still giving to victims since super storm Sandy struck in October.
However, as generous as the American people are, the economic crisis has significantly affected charitable giving, which remains $12 billion less today than when the recession began in 2008, and is predicted not to improve anytime soon. That is a real problem for the country: The nonprofit sector generates nearly 6 percent of U.S. gross domestic product, and pays $668 billion in wages and benefits to its 13.5 million employees.
The fiscal cliff further threatens charitable giving, as lawmakers on Capitol Hill consider capping or eliminating deductions, and a change to the charitable deduction could severely damage non-profits and the charitable work that generates enormous goodwill locally and globally.
A 2009 study by the Center on Philanthropy showed that the proposal to raise the marginal tax rate to 39.6 percent on those earning $250,000 or more and cap the charitable tax deduction at 28 percent would precipitate a 2.1 percent decline in giving, which works out to a $5 billion decrease.
However, a proposal by the Bipartisan Policy Center's Debt Reduction Task Force would be far worse. It proposes to eliminate the charitable deduction altogether and replace it with a credit like the one used in the United Kingdom. Applying this practice to the U.S. level of charitable giving would cost $260 billion, devastating charities across America.
The Charitable Giving Coalition urged both President Obama and House Speaker John Boehner to protect the charitable tax deduction as they deal with the fiscal cliff facing America. The charitable deduction encourages individuals to give to those in need, and to give more than they would otherwise give by allowing them to offset some of their tax obligation with charitable contributions. Data suggests that every dollar a donor claims in tax relief for charitable donations produces three dollars of public benefit.
The significance of the charitable work of American non-profits is one thing that sets us apart from less charitable nations. It is a reflection of the generous heart of America, and the charitable tax deduction helps to fuel that generosity. That is why it must be protected. If we fail to stop this thoughtless process, Americans will be substantially hampered in their financial support of people in need, and we will all be the worse for it.
To the extent that government continues replacing the work of charitable organizations with taxpayer funded government programs, or impedes the charitable impulses of the American people with short-sighted tax policies, those of us who give to charity lose the ability to decide which projects and causes receive our financial support.
And as the failure to control profligate government spending continues to be ignored in favor of political considerations, the likelihood increases that charitable deductions will be targeted to help raise revenue to feed the government's spending addiction.

Portable Assembly: Knob and Hex Key Connections
Download the Complete Tablet Solutions Product Brochure
A Silicone Edge Graphic (SEG) is a high-resolution dye-sublimated fabric graphic finished with a thin silicone strip (or welt/gasket). The silicone strip is sewn directly to the edge of the graphic, and the strip is then inserted into a frame with a recessed groove. The size of the graphic must be precise so the fabric is taut when installed in the frame.
The result is a large format graphic that mimics the old fashioned hard panel graphics commonly found on custom displays and interior spaces.
Silicone Edge Graphics can be any size or shape, backlit or non-backlit. They are dependent only on the frame and the lighting options.
Typical Uses:
The SEGUE Sunrise Portable Hybrid Display is a tool-less display featuring Silicone Edge Graphics (SEG). The engineered aluminum frame assembles with attached knobs in about the same time it takes to assemble a pop-up display. The Sunrise is the perfect alternative to a traditional pop up. The fabric graphics are lightweight, easy-to-install, and very durable.
The Sunrise features lightweight aluminum extrusion and large format tension fabric graphics. Choose from 10 x 10 and 10 x 20 designs, single and double-sided graphics.
Trade show regulations vary slightly from venue to venue, but most North American halls adhere to these common regulations for inline and island booths. Exhibitors with international experience will recognize that North American rules are very different from those in Europe and Asia. For example:
Standard/Linear Booth (10' depth)
Any booth that shares a common back wall and abuts other exhibits on one or two sides.
Maximum height is 8 ft. This 8 ft. height may be maintained on the sidewall of your booth up to a distance of 5 ft. from the front aisle. The remaining length of the sidewall may be no higher than 4 ft.
In European shows, the display may extend 8 ft. to the aisle, which is uncommon in North American shows.
Classic Exhibits Inc. warranties the performance of its portable, modular, and custom hybrid systems during normal use, excluding excessive wear and tear, as per the instructions. This covers the workmanship and locking systems as long as the exhibit has a useful life. All remaining parts are covered against defective materials or workmanship as long as the exhibit is in service. The warranty is transferable should the product be sold or assigned to another party.
The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for damages due to abuse, misuse, or shipping damages. This warranty does not cover laminate cracks and chips, wood crate and roto-molded case damage (excluding workmanship), aluminum extrusion scuffs, mars, and scratches from normal use, and graphics wear and tear or misuse.

Want a souvenir of the "Miracle on the Hudson," the water landing that made US Airways pilot Capt. Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger a celebrated hero? Better have a really big shelf.
The plane that Sullenberger and crew landed on the river in New York Jan. 15, 2009, after a bird strike knocked out both engines is up for auction.
The Airbus A320 from which all 155 people aboard emerged alive after the splashdown is now at a salvage yard in Kearny, N.J. Chartis Insurance is conducting the auction, which is scheduled to end at 4:30 p.m. ET March 27.
But don't expect a refurbished, ready-to-fly jet. The plane is for sale "as is/where is." Under "equipment comments" is this terse notation: "Destroyed." Under "description of damage": "Severe water damage throughout airframe. Impact damage to underside of aircraft."
Plus, the engines are not included in the sale, and the wings on which many passengers stood to be rescued have been detached from the fuselage.
But prospective buyers can take some consolation. The listing notes that the aircraft was "treated with a corrosion inhibitor" last summer.

Need another reason to look twice for motorcycles? Robert Peffley's family is sharing one from the heart; a story told in videos that are part of the state's Look Twice, Save a Life motorcycle safety campaign.
In the summer of 2007, Peffley was riding his motorcycle near his Lynnwood home when a car turned in front of his bike, killing him.
Cathi Dykstra knows that the cause of her son's death is a familiar one. So often, drivers involved in these type of serious injury or fatality crashes with motorcycles say they never saw the rider. Just days ago, on Saturday, June 25, a 41-year old Port Orchard man was killed after a car crossed the center line on State Route 3 just north of Belfair, striking him.
Dykstra hopes that Pef's story will reach people in a way that statistics and collision reports might not. Emotionally.
"When (doctors) took me in to see him and there he was, and all the light was gone. But there he was. He was my baby boy…but not," Dykstra shared on camera.
After her brother's death, Kimberly Peffley changed her career path. She now manages a motorcycle safety school, and calls her new job part of her therapy.
"I feel like I wanted to protect anyone out there who wanted to ride because he loved it so much," Peffley said.
The Look Twice, Save a Life campaign is sponsored by the state Department of Licensing, State Patrol and the Traffic Safety Commission.
