President Barack Obama is getting all kinds of heat because he wants to raise taxes on the wealthy in our country. It is amazing how people have forgotten that Reagan also raised taxes during his eight years in office.
During Reagan's administration, the top income tax rate decreased from 70 percent in 1981 to 28 percent in 1986. But, to combat a rising deficit and debt burden, Reagan also approved increased payroll taxes and a tax on Social Security benefits for some higher earners.
For many middle income families, this tax increase more than undid any gains from Reagan's income tax cuts.
In 1980, according to Congressional Budget Office estimates, middle income families with children paid 8.2 percent of their income in income taxes, and 9.5 percent in payroll taxes. By 1988, the income tax share was down to 6.6 percent -- but the payroll tax share was up to 11.8 percent, and the combined burden was up, not down.

A high school teacher in Alabama has been suspended from his job after being caught on tape insulting the first lady's figure.
Psychology teacher Bob Grisham has been ordered to take the rest of the school year off, and undergo "sensitivity training."
This happened after a student recorded a rant in which he blamed the school's low-calorie lunch offerings on "fat butt Michelle Obama."
One critic of the rant -- a professor at Emory University -- called the slur "an attempt to radicalize the first lady and remind people that she's black."

Whole Foods is said to be planning a health resort near its Austin Texas headquarters. If you just read that sentence and didn't immediately say "why?" to yourself, then Whole Foods just passed the test as a lifestyle brand.
Personally, I know that I didn't ask why when I saw the news. I thought it seemed perfectly logical, even exciting. I had a similar response to the news of an Ikea Hotel.
So how does a brand get to this rarified place where they can stretch into a business that would seem illogical or foolish for competitors? For companies who aspire to be lifestyle brands, it is the power of what you don't do that unleashes the power of what you can do.
Lifestyle brands march to a different drummer. They have a clear and distinct point of view, are outspoken, and inherently polarizing. For many brands this polarizing affect is very risky, but for brands seeking to be disruptive in mature categories or sectors, it can be the path to huge success and bear great dividends. Whole Foods is a textbook case.
When brands have a clear, distinct point of view it forces choices that may forfeit short term gain for long term benefit. It is a conscious decision to invest in the brand. The values of the brand permeate the behavior of the organization, the customer experience and, ultimately, public opinion. The result is a very powerful appeal to a much smaller audience.
Often delivering on an unarticulated need, these lifestyle brands thrive on creating an emotional connection based on shared values and beliefs. They become a part of how their customers define themselves and enrich their lives.
In the 1990s the fast food concept from southern California called Baja Fresh had a simple white interior design with this message on the wall: "No can openers. No microwaves." This was a brilliantly simple message about their values and iconoclastic attitude in a market where competitors like were synonymous with "fast food."
What they didn't do defined them and made their product more desirable and valuable to those with fast food anxiety. There is an element of "resisting temptation" that makes the idea of abstention a powerful communication platform and creates respect for a brand.
So when Whole Foods rejects all but organic produce and meat, and doesn't carry mainstream products from brand giants because they are antithetical to their point of view on health, nutrition and supply chain, it defines them. Competitors can introduce organic sections and add natural food brands to their assortments, but it is seen as mere opportunism with Whole Food brand loyalists.
In the end a Whole Foods health resort may fail because of location or execution, but not because of brand. In fact there was a spa, called ReFresh - The Everyday Spa at Whole Foods Market, which had been located above a Whole Foods store in Dallas and is now closed.
The idea of Whole Foods' impassioned customers accepting and possibly embracing the brand offering a health resort experience is legitimate because of how they have consciously edited what their brand does, and what it does not. Whole Foods stands for making great choices in food that promote a healthy lifestyle. A health resort stands to be a way to purely deliver that experience.

As posted in the AUVSI Linkedin forum
Subject: UAS in Search and Rescue: Let's change the tide
As of late Unmanned Aerial Systems (aka 'Drones') have fallen under a great deal of scrutiny from both the media and privacy advocate groups. I would like to make what I believe may be a very worthwhile suggestion. Recently I was contacted via email on behalf of the Center for Search and Investigations: "a group of devoted licensed investigators and many dedicated volunteers that donate their time pro bono for the sole purpose to successfully and safely locate missing children." This organization is apparently seeking private investigators willing to contribute to their efforts in rural Virginia and West Virginia.
As I found this a worthy and intriguing cause, I contacted their CEO , Chuck Foreman. During the course of our conversation, the topic of UAS and their potential benefits for search and rescue efforts came into play. As a private investigator, I survive (and sometimes thrive) by 'thinking outside the box.' PI's often seek out new approaches to tackle perplexing problems. As of late, the concern of most AUVSI member companies is the public's perception on just how these technologies will be used. I believe that the donation of resources in a direction such as this would speak VOLUMES to the general public, and help relieve some of the political pressures that have begun to fall upon our blossoming industry. With all due respect, I believe this approach would yield far greater benefits then the recent release of the newly released 'code of conduct.' The members of AUVSI need to educate the public as to how 'drones' will contribute to the public welfare, and actions speak louder then words.
Consider this an invitation. for open and candid dialogue. Here is a real world need which we could not only help address, but which could really help stem the tides of current criticism, if addressed correctly. I also predict a public relations opportunity beyond measure for a UAS manufacturer willing to contribute towards this aim.

Portfolio Valuation Data
The periodic number of units and corresponding prices for each investment are set in the Value sheet. New investment products can be added and removed to each asset class of the portfolio by using the prompted functions provided. Asset class category titles can be renamed for customization to portfolio dynamics and unused categories hidden and shown throughout the portfolio analysis as required. Start and end dates for the reporting period along with portfolio name and numeric denomination are entered here for display purposes through the portfolio tracking model. The capital contribution and initial investment date is used for calculating the returns since inception in the portfolio performance. The starting and ending values for each investment drive the initial performance calculation and overall portfolio valuation. A button is also provided to roll over the portfolio to a new reporting period whereby investment transaction data is saved to a history log and investment end values copied over to starting values.
Portfolio Investment Transactions
Each investment in the portfolio can have an unlimited number of transactions during the reporting period that affect the overall performance. Transactions are divided into two types which are distributions and investments; however the combination of transactions can be utilized to account for all types of cash flows to and from the investment. The reinvestment of dividends, for example, can be entered as a positive distribution and corresponding positive investment on the same date. New input rows can be added to accommodate more transactions for an individual investment by using the button provided for this task. Calculated information regarding the timing and magnitude of investments is stored in separate columns to the right for the portfolio performance analysis for the period.
Portfolio Performance Analysis
The portfolio performance analysis accounts to the intra period transactions for each investment to track the time weighted returns over the reporting period. The capital add or withdrawn as well any distributions are used with the start and end values to calculate the net return over the period and annualized return since inception for each investment. The net return over the period analyzes the investment and distribution transactions and their timings that were recorded for each investment. The annual return since inception uses the prior period return that is saved when the portfolio is rolled over to a new reporting period. Help icons for the performance returns are provided to detail the calculation method used for analysis.
Portfolio Tracking and Trend Analysis
The current weighting of the portfolio by asset category is presented by a pie chart and the associated data table is display with capital allocation values. The line chart tracks the trends of the portfolio valuation and performance over time by the values saved a snapshot intervals. Portfolio tracking snapshots can be taken at any time and interval to monitor the portfolio and historical performance trend on an ongoing basis. Snapshots are saved by clicking the button provided and can be removed selectively from the historical time series.
Many financial advisors employ this template for managing multiple client portfolios. To facilitate the update of price data to multiple client portfolio files, a batch update module has been separately developed and is freely available

Monterey Bay waters are no stranger to shark sightings.
In early July of this year, a Fremont man had his kayak chomped by a great white off Pleasure Point. The following week, Rio Del Mar Beach was plastered with warning signs after a dorsal fin was seen patrolling the area.
But the wackiest shark story comes from 1891, when locals say a man wrestled a mammoth shark at Capitola Beach, attracting a huge crowd and creating a legend that has lived on for over a century.
Some people who survived being bitten by the ocean's largest predator, the Great White Shark, say they didn't even feel the bite.
Not Jonathan Kathrein, who, at 16, had a huge gash taken out of his leg from his knee to his hip Aug. 26, 1998 when he was surfing at Stinson Beach.
"It was like getting hit by a car," he told an audience of underwater photographers and scientists at the film and conservation event called BLUE in Monterey Saturday. Among the speakers there were Monaco's Prince Albert II and filmmaker James Cameron.
"I completely felt it. Almost to a hyper-awareness where I felt the teeth come through my skin," said Kathrein. "I felt a pop. I felt the teeth go through the muscle and clamp down on the bone."
Kathrein was part of a panel calling for the protection of the predators at the top of the ocean food chain, all of whom represented a shift away from the Jaws mentality of fearing Great Whites, demonizing them and wanting to wipe them out.
He was paddling out on a quiet day when his hand brushed on something that he said felt like a rug, but was wet and slippery at the same time.
He never saw the shark. Never saw a fin or a ripple or movement.
"It's this funny combination of soft and solid and fleshy and like sandpaper. I often think it feels a lot like carpet, if you reach down and feel the carpet. It's almost soft, hard, solid, wet, all at the same time. The thing I thought I hit was a pile of sand."
He was 50-feet out so it coudn't have been sand. He started wondering if it was a seal, a jellyfish...or a shark.
He started paddling in to get away when he felt the 12-foot-long Great White shark bite. The shark started pulling him down under the water, but then, miraculously, let go.
It took at least 600 stitches to repair the wound, he said. "The doctors stopped counting after a while."
But to offset the horror of his tale on stage, he raised his pants and showed he was wearing socks with sharks on them.
"I surfed this morning, by the way," said . "It hasn't stopped me from enjoying the ocean. I'm very convinced, in fact, that sharks don't want to have anything to do with people. I think in my case, I don't know that if I hadn't hit it, it's likely that it would have swam by."
He's written a book about the experience and so has his mother.
His goal in speaking to this audience was to help protect Great Whites, of which there are estimated to be only 400 along the Central California Coast. There is a movement to make them endangered and prevent the killing of more of them.
Why? Because they are the apex of marine predators and help control the ocean's balance the same way that wolves or lions do on land, say researchers. They keep the numbers of marine mammals down and can get rid of the weakest members.
All of which is a big change from the Jaws mentality that sharks are out there hunting humans.
The producer of Discovery Channel's incredibly popular Shark Week, Brooke Runnette, has been a big factor in changing that perception.
She told the underwater lovers that in her four years producing the 25-year-old series, she has changed the image of sharks as demonized figures to wonders of nature that should be protected.
"Any channel has to worry about ratings and a lot of people were thinking that the thing to do is to go out and show this particular tale, step into the water and they will kill you. They will find you and they will kill you."
To her surprise and relief, producing conservationist documentaries with the likes of Stanford shark expert Barbara Block, has brought in higher ratings.
Block, also on the panel, described her tracking of Santa Cruz area sharks that have been tagged. Her project, "Fish and Chips" which plants microchips on Great Whites, showed these denizens were almost as common in the water around Santa Cruz as tourists.
The app is on iTunes, free, here, for iPads, iTouch and iPhone.
And, like tourists, they hang around Santa Cruz and then shuttle out to a spot halfway to Hawaii, which she calls the White Shark Cafe, where they may breed, eat, feed. Much of their lives, however, are still a mystery to the marine biologists.
Researchers fear that they will be wiped out because protected areas are small dots compared to the sharks' roaming territory.
"We find out we have a neighborhood of sharks here in the Northeast Pacific, a neighborhood in which these animals are our own and this is their backyard," said Block, showing live-action maps of tagged sharks moving through Monterey Bay waters. "It's a neighborhood that stretches from here to halfway to Hawaii."

Alternatives for Unwanted Hair
By Lindsey Galloway
Tired of tweezers and razors, and the red, irritated skin they can leave behind? Consider these skin-saving swaps:
An aesthetician wraps a strong thread around each hair and lifts it from the root. Too time-consuming for a full-body treatment, this technique is best for face and neck defuzzing.
A lemon and sugar gel adheres to your hair, which is then pulled off with a denim or muslin cloth. Sugaring is often less painful and irritating than waxing—making it great for extra-sensitive areas, like your underarms and bikini line—since the mixture doesn't stick to the skin and isn't heated to the same high temperatures as wax.
Natural Waxing
While some aestheticians believe you shouldn't use wax on your face (it can cause wrinkles), you could give it a try on your arms and legs if you have very fine hair. Hot wax provides a better "stick" than sugaring; just be sure to look for a variety made without paraffin, which is a pore-clogging petroleum by-product. Options include beeswax (which can be used without removal strips) or a pine-resin mixture.

Since the invention of the radio, the technology has united mankind by making it easier for people to communicate from one place to another. It helps us pass the time on long road trips, warned us of bad weather, informed us of up-to-date & breaking news, and most notably, it has entertained us.
Surprisingly, radio has changed very little since it was invented a little over 100 years ago. Sure, it has evolved over time but the overall concept remains pretty much the same. However, it appears as if the modern digital age is changing that notion. Now-a-days, thanks to smart phones, computers, and other devices, it is now easier than ever to access a listeners favorite radio station. Even radio stations located in another city.
The Logitech company is taking it a step further by being one of the pioneers in the industry with their Logitech Squeezebox Touch. This radio promises to be very different than that of a traditional radio.
While a traditional radio simply contains a AM/FM band, others may offer additional accessories such as CD players, or even an auxiliary port so it can access an MP3 player. One of the major features of the Logitech Squeezebox Touch is that it has the ability to play online radio stations.
Radios that are able to listen to online radio stations are clearly becoming more popular, however very few have the vast amount of options and features that the Squeezebox touch has.
It is clearly obvious that the device has the ability to be connected to the internet. It has a standard ethernet input in the rear of the device or it can be connected wirelessly through a wifi connection. Also on the back you can find RCA audio connections, a headphone jack, USB port, and an optical audio connection. It has no external speaker so the headphone jack also serves as a line-out that can be plugged into a home stereo system.
The Squeezebox Touch acts more as a music server than it does a radio since it has the ability to access music on any specific network it is connected to. The front of the device has a 4.3 inch, 24-bit LCD color touch screen that displays information such as album covers or information of what radio station is currently playing. Logitech also provides a remote control for user convenience. The Squeezebox Touch also has an ambient light sensor to adjust display brightness according to environment, 256 MB of ram and a 100MB internal hard drive. Luckily for those with a musical selection that exceeds 100MB, there is an internal slot for an SD card or the user can plug in an external hard drive for additional space.
While the specs under the hood appear on par with that of a high end radio, the real impressive qualities of the device lies within the software. Of course we find the ability to tune into traditional AM/FM radios station is there. It also serves as an alarm clock, has social networking integration, the ability to have applications of different music services such as Last FM, Spotify, Pandora, Live365, TuneIn, Shoutcast, plus more! This device can easily give any music fan an outlet to store all their favorite in one place.
While some may be skeptical on if they actually need another radio, I could see justification in the fact that this radio is an all-in-one device due to all the functions it can do. Online radio stations are the wave of the future and are becoming more and more popular due to the fact that online stations know no bounds as far as range is concerned. A limitation that is easily a traditional AM/FM radio stations biggest flaw. As online stations grow in popularity, these type of radios that have all the bells and whistles the Squeezebox Touch have are completely necessary.
- Ability To Listen To Online Radio Stations
- Has Integration Of Popular Streaming Services [Spotify/TuneIn/LastFM/Etc.]
- Facebook Integration
- 4.3 Inch LCD Touch Screen
- Wifi capable
- No External Speaker
- Does Not Have Bluetooth Capabilities
- Lacks Twitter Integration

New voluntary guidelines issued by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) direct pharmaceutical companies to more closely examine the abuse potential of new drugs and help determine if and how they should be listed under the Controlled Substances Act, the Baltimore Sun reported Jan. 27.
The FDA guidance says that drugmakers should look beyond addictiveness to also consider other ways that drugs could be abused. Michael Klein, director of FDA's controlled substances program, noted that the anesthetic propofol — one of the drugs that killed pop star Michael Jackson — is not a controlled substance but has reported abuse potential.
"They're expanding this idea that abusable drugs aren't just the ones that are addictive," said Scott Fishman, chief of pain medicine at the University of California at Davis' School of Medicine.
FDA is currently gathering public comments on the proposed guidance (PDF).

Horror! Romance! Spine-tingling suspense! Carnival of Souls will make you long to be watching a movie that contains any of these things! In fact, you'd probably settle for a movie that contains a discernible plot. Instead you get lead actress Candace Hilligoss, notable for having one eyebrow that is consistently raised higher than the other. Along her journey to Utah (most of which is shown in real time) she meets colorful characters such as "The greasy guy in the boarding house," and "The priest who disapproves of her organ playing.
Carnival of Souls is grim, unsettling and contains 150% of your daily recommended dose of organ music. Therefore, it is like putty in the hands of master riffers Mike Nelson, Kevin Murphy and Bill Corbett of RiffTrax.com and Mystery Science Theater 3000. Watch as they shape this filmic atrocity into a hilarious lump of comedy, which, from the right angle, kind of resembles an ashtray. Happy Father's Day!
Please note the sample is from the colorized VOD version of this riff!

- I took my inspiration from the Victorian style that I had the opportunity to see very closely, during my stay in San Francisco. I thought about the possibility to realize an ornament inspired by victorian jabot but in a more contemporary style.
- In this piece, the leather is regularly cut by hand in a symmetrical way and you have tree different colors: black, bordeau and powder pink. The perfect choice for an elegant and basic outfit. Easy to wear with everything.
Second picture:

-It's an ornament in the middle between a necklace and a jabot and you can wear it on a very basic dress or on a impalpable shirt, just to give them a unique touch, in the name of a perfect contemporary victorian style.
-The jabot is adjustable and you can close it behind by a little knot.
-It's entirely made by hand, by me, in my atelier in the very center of Bologna, Italy, and it's a unique piece. As every one of my creations there is a little brass tag with my brand sign on it.
-It will arrive to you in an elegant black envelope of glossy paper closed by a delicate indigo ribbon.
- Maximum dimensions:
22 cm x 20 cm (the shape is irregular and adjustable so these dimensions are approximate)
- Weight:
90 g
Material Used
Italian recovery leather, colors: black, bordeau and powder pink; harmonic steel structure (inside), PVC tube.

A poor first nine in the last round of the Masters cost Hideki Matsuyama a chance at defending his low-amateur title on Sunday.
Patrick Cantlay, who trailed Matsuyama by six shots before the fourth round, shot an even-par 72 to finish the tournament 7 over par and win the Silver Cup given to the low amateur.
Matsuyama unexpectedly shot a 42 on the front nine – four shots higher than his worst nine during the week — on his way to an 8-over par 80. He finished 9 over par.
Kelly Kraft, the only other amateur to make the cut, shot an 80 to finish the tournament 18 over. He is turning pro on Monday.
Cantlay, a student at UCLA, bounced back from a nine on the par-5 No. 13 with an eagle on 15, and birdies on 16 and 17.
"Obviously there was an up-and-down round out there," Cantlay said. "I had a bunch of highs and lows. But 72 is not too bad."

It hasn't taken long for the new regime of the Kansas City Chiefs to make an impression.
The Chiefs announced Monday they signed wide receiver Dwayne Bowe and punter Dustin Colquitt to new long-term contracts and placed the franchise tag on left tackle Branden Albert.
All three of the players were due to become free agents.
The moves come less than a week after new Chiefs general manager John Dorsey and coach Andy Reid acquired quarterback Alex Smith from the San Francisco 49ers for their second-round pick in this year's draft and a conditional selection in next year's draft.
The Chiefs had until Monday afternoon to decide whether to franchise any of their free agents, and they wound up placing the tag on Albert, who will make $9.828 million next season.
A former first-round pick, Albert has developed into one of the better left tackles in the league. He made only 11 starts and appeared in 13 games last season because of injuries, but has otherwise offered dependable blindside protection for Chiefs quarterbacks.
"We felt it was in the best interest of the Kansas City Chiefs to place the tag on Branden," Dorsey said in a statement. "We will continue to negotiate with Branden and his agent to reach a deal that is mutually beneficial. We're looking forward to working with Branden in the future."
The decision to franchise Albert was made easier by reaching deals with Bowe and Colquitt.
Bowe was the recipient of the franchise tag last year. He was unhappy with the decision and didn't report to training camp until it was well under way, but still managed to catch 59 passes for 801 yards and three touchdowns despite weak quarterback play.
"We're excited to have Dwayne on the roster for the long term," Reid said. "Dwayne's a big, physical receiver who has had success in this league. He is part of the Chiefs family, and it was important to him to remain in Kansas City. I'm looking forward to working with Dwayne."
Bowe sent out a tweet Monday with a photo of him on the phone that said: "On vacation till I got the call that changed my life. I wanna thank the Hunt Family & the Chiefs organization."
Financial terms of Bowe's agreement were not immediately available.
"I'm very blessed to be a member of the Kansas City Chiefs," he said in a statement issued by the team. "The Hunt family and the fan base have been very supportive over the years, and I am looking forward to working with John and Coach Reid in the near future. I'm excited to continue my career with the Chiefs and hopefully help this team reach our goals."
The first-round pick of the Chiefs in 2007, Bowe has already become one of the most prolific pass-catchers in franchise history. He's started 82 games over the past six seasons, with 415 catches for 5,728 yards and 39 touchdowns -- 15 coming in 2010, when he made the Pro Bowl.
Bowe has been the Chiefs' leading receiver the past four seasons.
His loss would have left the Chiefs desperately thin at wide receiver, where they've already released Steve Breaston and have yet to see much production from Jonathan Baldwin.
Colquitt's new contract is for five years and $18.75 million, making him the highest-paid punter in the league. The Chiefs did not disclose his contract terms.
Colquitt made his first Pro Bowl last season after averaging 46.8 yards per punt.
"John and I knew right away that we'd like to keep Dustin," Reid said. "He's worked hard at his craft and has become one of the best punters in the NFL. He's got a strong leg and the ability to pin opponents deep in their own territory. We are happy we were able to come to an agreement."

The oddest 'Hunger Games' fan fiction [Pictures]
May the fics be ever in your favor -- and not weird you out too much.
Image 1 of 11
Fan fiction 'Hunger'( Vittorio Zunino Celotto / Getty Images / November 19, 2013 )
While "The Hunger Games" movies lean toward the dramatic side (um, kids killing kids!), the abundant fan fiction about the characters does not take itself too seriously. Instead, the works are chock full of ridiculous anecdotes and hilarious dialogue. With the trilogy's film sequel, "Catching Fire," opening Friday, we've compiled a list of some of the quirkiest fanfic on the web. Enjoy -- or be very, very afraid. --By Emma Schkloven

Cake Byte: Molly Moon's in Seattle offering Cinnamon Waffle Cones
Things that make me happy: Fall Flavors. Ice Cream.
But at Molly Moon's in Seattle, these things are coming together deliciously with house-made Cinnamon Waffle Cones.
Already Molly Moon's cones are a wonderful thing--they made my list of favorite scents in Seattle! But this autumn-friendly version sounds like it will work beautifully with the delicious, spicy flavors which proliferate and which we all seem to crave at this time of year. As they say on their site:
Around Molly Moon's, we've been loving the bright, crisp fall days and the chance to pull out our scarves & boots! We've also been dreaming of more fall spices in our ice cream menu. After baking a loaf of cinnamon pumpkin bread at home, Molly came up with our latest fall offering -- Cinnamon Waffle Cones! We've just added a heap of Organic Cinnamon to our eternally popular, olfactory signature Waffle Cone batter, and we're serving them up starting today. Molly loves a big scoop of Pumpkin Clove Ice Cream or a double scoop of Melted Chocolate and Pumpkin Clove when she's really craving fall perfection. Cinnamon Waffle Cones are here through the holidays!
Om nom nom. Of course, if you want to check out Molly Moon's ice cream but don't live in the Seattle area, they have a book too, Molly Moon's Homemade Ice Cream: Sweet Seasonal Recipes for Ice Creams, Sorbets, and Toppings Made with Local Ingredients --so you can create the magic at home!

It's official, the recession has triggered interest in the kind of environmental innovation that makes a difference today, and not the kind that might make a difference someday. Instead of looking at getting a Prius or solar panels that will likely never pay for themselves, consumers are thinking of low-tech, quick-return energy-saving measures.
According to a new survey from The Shelton Group, 71% of people considered buying energy efficient products "to save money" vs. 55% who said it was "to protect the environment." That's a direct switch from the group's 2007 and 2006's surveys.
Consumers were looking at taking (or had already taken) a bunch of energy-related decisions that would likely save them some green.
- 44 percent responded they are likely to levitra legal buy a programmable thermostat; 32 percent already have.
- 43 percent responded they are likely to install insulation in their homes; 26 percent already have.
- 42 percent responded that they are to install a higher-efficiency water heater; 26 percent already have.
On the other hand, decisions that might help only the environment, and not their wallet were much less desireable.
- Installed natural / indigenous / low water landscaping – 13 percent.
- Participate in utility's green power program – 9 percent.
- Buy carbon offsets for plane trips or for home – 6 percent.
Of course, I'm ambivalent about this news. I know that the zvezdegranda.rs greatest amount of good we can do right here and http://davenportinstitute.com/what-is-the-cost-of-levitra right now is to use less energy through efficiency. But we also need to look to the future. Green power programs create incentives for people to build more renewable energy at a time when renewables are young, and every dollar helps.
We need to direct money to these young utilities now, because every dollar makes a huge difference in these early years. And even though sometimes we don't make our money back, buying green cars and green power is an investment in our future. Though, to be frank, investments of viagra health store all sorts have gotten a rather bad rap lately, so maybe I should stop using that terminology.

I'm running into that with the company I work for. I'm trying to get them to make a rule about powering down unused equipment (about 20-30 of the PCs stay on not only all night, but all weekend with no one using them) and switch from styrofoam plates to (at least) paper in the breakroom.
They like the first part, but are confused about the 2nd part.

Natural gas can only be used once, so we have to use it more efficiently. Right now between 20% and 70% of all the natural gas consumed is being blown up the cheap levitra pills chimney's as HOT (300 F to 1500 F) waste energy! That is a lot of wasted energy! This energy needs to be recovered, and instead we should be emitting cool exhaust. (less than 100 F)
Check out the EIA website as to how much natural gas is consumed in this country. If even 10% of this waste energy could be recovered and utilized would save us a lot of energy for the future. For every decatherm of energy recovered and utilized back in the facility, 118 lbs of CO2 will NOT be emitted into the atmosphere.

Also in the lower temperature ranges the heat exchangers become very large and uneconomical.
Down to saltlakewebcentral.com the problem temperatures I would say though that any company not doing heat recovery is very stupid as they are losing big money.

Oxycontin Patient Information including How Should I Take
In this Article
- What is oxycodone (Oxycontin)?
- What are the possible side effects of oxycodone?
- What is the most important information I should know about oxycodone?
- What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before using oxycodone?
- How should I use oxycodone?
- What happens if I miss a dose?
- What happens if I overdose?
- What should I avoid while using oxycodone?
- What other drugs will affect oxycodone?
- Where can I get more information?
What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before using oxycodone?
Do not use this medication if you have ever had an allergic reaction to a narcotic medicine (examples include methadone, morphine, Oxycontin, Darvocet, Percocet, Vicodin, Lortab, and many others), or to a narcotic cough medicine that contains codeine, hydrocodone, or dihydrocodeine.
You should also not take oxycodone if you are having an asthma attack or if you have a bowel obstruction called paralytic ileus.
Oxycodone may be habit forming and should be used only by the person it was prescribed for. Never share oxycodone with another person, especially someone with a history of drug abuse or addiction. Keep the medication in a place where others cannot get to it.
To make sure you can safely take oxycodone, tell your doctor if you have any of these other conditions:
- asthma, COPD, sleep apnea, or other breathing disorders;
- liver or kidney disease;
- underactive thyroid;
- curvature of the spine;
- a history of head injury or brain tumor;
- epilepsy or other seizure disorder;
- low blood pressure;
- gallbladder disease;
- Addison's disease or other adrenal gland disorders;
- enlarged prostate, urination problems;
- mental illness; or
- a history of drug or alcohol addiction.
FDA pregnancy category B. Oxycodone is not expected to harm an unborn baby. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant during treatment.
Oxycodone can pass into breast milk and may harm a nursing baby. You should not breast-feed while you are using oxycodone.
Older adults may be more likely to have side effects from this medicine.
How should I use oxycodone?
Take exactly as prescribed. Never take oxycodone in larger amounts, or for longer than recommended by your doctor. Follow the directions on your prescription label. Tell your doctor if the medicine seems to stop working as well in relieving your pain.
Do not crush, chew, or break an extended-release tablet. Swallow it whole. Breaking the pill may cause too much of the drug to be released at one time.
If your doctor has told you to take two or more oxycodone tablets per dose, take the tablets one at a time. Do not wet, presoak, or lick the tablet before placing it in your mouth. Drink plenty of water to make swallowing easier and to prevent choking.
Measure the liquid form of oxycodone with a special dose-measuring spoon or cup, not a regular table spoon. If you do not have a dose-measuring device, ask your pharmacist where you can get one.
Drink plenty of water daily to help prevent constipation while you are using oxycodone. Ask your doctor about ways to increase the fiber in your diet. Do not use a stool softener (laxative) without first asking your doctor.
Do not stop using oxycodone suddenly after long-term use, or you could have unpleasant withdrawal symptoms. Ask your doctor how to avoid withdrawal symptoms when you stop using oxycodone.
Never crush a tablet or other pill to mix into a liquid for injecting the drug into your vein. This practice has resulted in death with the misuse of oxycodone and similar prescription drugs.
Store at room temperature, away from heat, moisture, and light.
Keep track of the amount of medicine used from each new bottle. Oxycodone is a drug of abuse and you should be aware if anyone is using your medicine improperly or without a prescription.
After you have stopped using this medication, flush any unused pills down the toilet.
Throw away any unused liquid oxycodone that is older than 90 days.

Mask Strap.
The mask strap is the piece of elastic silicone which wraps around the head and holds the mask securely in place when being worn. The position of the mask strap is important in determining how it fits and how well it stays in place. The mask strap should be worm snugly but not too tight, around the head and rest directly on the crown of the head. Wearing the strap too far above or below where the mask rests can cause discomfort or mask leakage. Here is a helpful tip. Strap wrappers are an additional accessory to the mask strap which many people find useful. It is a small band of neoprene which is put around the mask strap to help the mask strap slide on and off easier as well as stop the silicone from snagging long hair. Mask straps wrappers are usually very inexpensive and are available in a wide variety of fun colors and designs.

What is Latisse™?
Latisse™ is the first and only FDA approved prescription treatment clinically proven to grow lashes. Latisse™ helps grow them longer, fuller and darker. It has been studied for safety and efficacy and is available only by prescription.
How do you use it?
Latisse™ solution is a once-nightly treatment that you apply topically to the base of your upper eyelashes, as instructed by your doctor. Gradually, real lash growth will start to develop with full results at 16 weeks.
How does it work?
Latisse™ makes eyelashes grow because of the active ingredient bimatoprost. This ingredient affects the growth (anagen) phase of the eyelash hair cycle by increasing the length of the phase and increasing the number of hairs in the growth phase.
What happens if I stop using Latisse™?
Just like it gradually takes time for your eyelashes to grow while you're using Latisse™, eventually your eyelashes will return to their previous appearance before you began using the product.
Frequently asked questions and Safety Precautions about Latisse™
To find out more about Latisse™, click here.
Schedule a consultation
Contact us for a complimentary, no obligation consultation with one of our dedicated medical aesthetic professionals to see if Latisse™ is right for you.

The last thing President Barack Obama wants to do is turn Edward Snowden into a grand enemy of the state or a Daniel Ellsberg-type hero who speaks truth to power.
In the shifting narrative of the Obama administration, the man whose leaks of top-secret material about government surveillance programs have tied the national security apparatus in knots and brought charges under the Espionage Act has now been demoted to a common fugitive unworthy of international intrigue or extraordinary pursuit by the U.S. government.
A "29-year-old hacker," in the words of Obama; fodder for a made-for-TV movie, perhaps, but not much more.
"This is not exceptional from a legal perspective," the president said Thursday of Snowden's efforts to avoid capture by hopscotching from Hawaii to Hong Kong to Russia.
"I'm not going to have one case of a suspect who we're trying to extradite suddenly being elevated to the point where I've got to start doing wheeling and dealing and trading on a whole host of other issues simply to get a guy extradited," the president told reporters in Senegal.
It was the second time in a week that the administration had toned down its rhetoric as Snowden remained out of reach and first China and then Russia refused to send him back.
Just Monday, Secretary of State John Kerry was talking tough against China and calling Snowden a traitor whose actions are "despicable and beyond description." By Tuesday, Kerry was calling for "calm and reasonableness" on the matter, and adding, "We're not looking for a confrontation. We are not ordering anybody."
There are plenty of reasons for Obama to pull back, beyond his professed desire to avoid international horse-trading for the leaker.
The president, in his own words, has "a whole lot of business to do with China and Russia." Why increase tensions in an already uneasy relationship when Obama is looking for Russia's cooperation in finding a path to peace in Syria, for example?
In addition, less-heated dialogue could make it easier to broker Snowden's return because, despite the latest shrugs, U.S. officials very much want him.
"There's a lot of signaling going on," said Steve Aftergood, director of the Project on Government Secrecy for the Federation of American Scientists. "If the White House were issuing ultimatums, then Russia might feel obliged not to cooperate. But if it's merely one request among many others, that might make it easier to advance to a resolution."
The president also may have a U.S. audience in mind for his comments.
Obama's Democratic base includes plenty of defenders of civil liberties who are sympathetic to Snowden's professed goal of making government more transparent.
Benjamin Pauker, managing editor of Foreign Policy magazine, said the president was loath to elevate Snowden to a state enemy or "an Ellsberg-type truth-teller," referring to the 1971 leaker of the Pentagon Papers, which showed the U.S. government had misled the public about the war in Vietnam.
Ellsberg himself recently called Snowden's revelations the most significant disclosures in the nation's history.
The administration, though, would rather marginalize Snowden, a former National Security Agency systems analyst who is thought to have custody of more classified documents.
"Calling him a hacker, as opposed to a government contractor or an NSA employee, brings him down a notch to someone who's an irritant, as opposed to someone who has access to integral intelligence files," Pauker said. "To externalize him and brand him with a black-hat hacker tag distances him from the government."
The disdainful talk isn't just coming from the White House.
Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Mich., the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, called Snowden "a high school dropout who had a whole series of both academic troubles and employment troubles" after a recent closed hearing on the leaks. The committee's top Democrat, C.A. "Dutch" Ruppersberger from Maryland, called Snowden "a legend in his own mind" for claiming to be able to use NSA systems to access any email or phone call anywhere — something the NSA's director has said can't be done.
There may also be face-saving benefits for Obama in cutting down Snowden, who turned 30 last week. An unsuccessful full-court press for Snowden's return would only show the limitations of Obama's international influence.
It's not the first time a president has tried to reset expectations by first elevating and then playing down the importance of an international fugitive who eluded capture, at least for a time.
President George W. Bush went from putting out a "dead-or-alive" ultimatum for 9-11 terror mastermind Osama bin Laden to dismissing him as "a person who's now been marginalized."
"I just don't spend that much time on him," Bush said in March 2002.
Candidate Barack Obama pledged during the 2008 presidential campaign: "We will kill bin Laden, we will crush al-Qaida. That has to be our biggest national security priority."
By January 2009, just days before his inauguration, Obama was saying: "My preference, obviously would be to capture or kill him. But if we have so tightened the noose that he's in a cave somewhere and can't even communicate with his operatives, then we would meet our goal of protecting America."
As it turned out, he got him.

So much for Mr. Obama's "zero tolerance" policy for leakers!
Mr. President, it's painfully clear that you are now trying to "shut the barn door after the horse has escaped".
It's also glaringly obvious that Mr. Snowden has your national security "Bumbledom" running in circles and falling all over themselves.
Indeed, your Trillion dollar a year NSA "snooping" empire couldn't even spell the man's MIDDLE NAME correctly on your extradition request to Hong Kong.
So, now you have little choice but to marginalize what Mr. Snowden has done in public while directing your DOD "goon squads" to order their minions not to read what he's now effectively declassified for fear of Court Martial.
What a joke!
If I didn't know better, I'd swear I was watching an old "Keystone Cops" movie.
Wonder if this had anything to do with Ecuador offering the USA foreign aid to provide human rights training to US government employees to combat torture, illegal executions and attacks on peoples' privacy.
It's hard to be light unto the world when your a blight on human rights.

New Consultants Directory Launched
The new ASSE Consultants Directory has recently launched, and we would like to take a moment to invite you to create a listing for your business. This new resource has just come online, so you have a great opportunity to get in on the "ground floor" of this new Directory.
This is truly an interactive effort - so, we need your help to build this tool together. With members such as yourself, our goal is to highlight a diverse cross-section of professionals who focus on consulting in the Safety, Health and Environmental areas of expertise. If you would like to be a part of this new Directory, then please visit the Directory site here.
The Consultants Practice Specialty (CPS) began as the Consultants Division. It held its first meeting on October 15, 1979 in Chicago and published its first newsletter in 1980. Since then, the newsletter has expanded into a technical publication, The Advisor, which is e-mailed to members three times per year. The Advisor covers technical issues relevant to consultants as well as information on how to start and grow a consulting practice.
Shortly after its inception, CPS published a hardcopy SH&E Consultants Directory which is now available online and will be re-launched in 2012. Over the years, CPS members have helped contribute to the SH&E profession by providing technical assistance in a variety of areas, both as external consultants to their clients and as internal consultants to their organizations. Many CPS members also provide pro bono consulting work, technical reviews and expert witness testimonies. Today CPS continually sponsors sessions and roundtables at ASSE's annual Professional Development Conference and always seeks new ways to support its nearly 1,800 members. CPS strives to serve its members by keeping them abreast on SH&E technical information and providing information about the unique demands of running a business (i.e., marketing, accounting, insurance, etc.).

Rate Dr. Lisa BAILEY
Dr. Lisa BAILEY's Ratings
Dr. Lisa Bailey is an exceptional surgeon and professional. I am happy with the surgical and physical results. She was personable and genuinely caring. Her follow up was impeccable, exemplifying that she had a complete vision of my person within the framework of my whole treatment cycle. During the process of learning about my diagnosis, she was warmly straightforward and reliably calm- making me feel "held" and safe in a situation that was terrifying. I felt like I was her only patient and she sees A LOT of patients a day. She was sensitive to my time making sure not to keep me waiting within reason. The office staff cross- communicated effectively and followed up. They always scheduled me when I needed it.

This scent is everything a great summer fresh scent for men should be: masculine yet misty fresh, soft dry woods and some wild little flowers, like a real Spanish countryside.
It has a rustic "old world" aroma with an amazing, darker (not too much) side. Pine needles, sand, woods, lights and shadows and early morning and late afternoon sun, come together here.
Surprisingly long-lasting - this is a winner you will want to buy again. The 2oz. simple, heavy sprayer glass bottle has a wooden top.

GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) - A day after the Green Bay Police Department announces an investigation into a viral cell phone video which shows an officer potentially crossing the line when making an arrest, the local police union is standing behind the officer in question.
The Green Bay Professional Police Association issued a statement to WTAQ regarding the incident involving the officer they identified as Derek Wicklund.
Below is that statement by GBPPA President Ryan Meader:
The GBPPA is a member funded professional police association that works with police management to ensure that the citizen's of Green Bay receive the best police service possible. Unfortunately, we live in an era where police officers are asked to do more with less but the brave men and women of the Green Bay Police Department are still willing to risk their lives for the safety and security of the citizens.
We also live in a society where people are presumed innocent until proven guilty, but this same legal principle that all citizens hold dear doesn't seem to apply to police officers. Recently, local news media outlets aired a video segment of Officer Derek Wicklund affecting a justifiable, legal, and lawful arrest of an individual. Like most video segments, it does not tell the entire story, and too often media outlets use such footage as propaganda to generate controversy, make headlines, and sell advertising space. This is all done at the expense of police officers who then face potential retaliation and threats to themselves and their families for merely doing what is expected of them. If a citizen were threatened or harassed by another, we would call that a crime. That same concept doesn't appear to apply to police officers.
We live in sad times when a snippet of video is used to pass judgment on a police officer's actions before all of the facts are in. Why isn't anybody asking, "What did the man do to force Officer Wicklund to use force?" "What law did the man break?" "What was his demeanor?" "What was his condition?" "Did the man put himself in this unfortunate situation, by refusing to follow simple directions?" All of these questions, and many others, must be answered BEFORE judgment is passed.
It is also important to recognize that although cameras can be useful tools to evaluate and determine the appropriateness of one's actions, they lack many human elements that influence an officer's decision making. Cameras do not capture what an officer was thinking at the moment. Cameras do not capture what an officer's perception of a threat is at the moment. Cameras do not capture tactile feeling or what officers were physically feeling at the time, such as human aggression and tension. These are human conditions that are always difficult to measure and they are imperfect. Even though officers are trained to measure, evaluate, and react to such things, it can never be done precisely.
In the end, when force is used, we must never expect our police officers to be perfect. The amount of forced used is often made in chaotic, and split second moments. However, we must decide whether or not, under the totality of the circumstances an officer used reasonable force. These are commonly held standards that any use of force trainer is well aware of.
No officer ever wants to use any force on anybody. It's the last thing that police officers want to do. Green Bay Police Officer's embrace the idea of the "Universal Value," which recognizes the value of all human life, regardless of what somebody has done. Simply put, Green Bay Police Officers make their decisions based upon the behaviors of others and not to punish, but to only complete lawful objectives.
The GBPPA stands alongside Officer Wicklund while this unfortunate incident is investigated by the Green Bay Police Department. The GBPPA is confident that Officer Wicklund's actions will be justified and consistent with the State of Wisconsin Department of Justice use of force standards.
Meantime, the Green Bay Police Department has not received a formal complaint -- but police say numerous e-mails and Facebook postings have expressed concerns.
In the video, officers arrest a man for allegedly leaving a tavern with an open intoxicant. Other people -- some apparently yelling profanities -- surround the officers and ask why the arrest is being made. An officer rushed at one of those people and grabbed him.
A Racine County man, 29-year-old Joshua Wenzel of Caledonia, tells the Green Bay Press-Gazette he was the one grabbed. Police ticketed him for disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. He told the paper he was "kind of drunk" at the time, but not overly intoxicated.
Police Captain Bill Galvin said officers can go one level above a suspect's behavior to get the person under control. All the officers involved were still on the job at last word.
