Hallo! Wir sind ein Ehepaar aus Deutschland und haben bei Christophe und Pierre-Louis drei Tage gewohnt, wo wir uns sehr gut gefühlt haben und sehr willkommen. Das Zimmer hat ein eigenes Bad und sieht sogar besser als in Fotos, alles war sehr sauber und geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Das französische Frühstück war sehr lecker und in einer angenehmen Atmosphäre. Auf der Terasse konnten wir abends einen Wein genießen. Gute Anbindungen zum öffentlichen Verkehrsmittel und zum Einkaufszentrum! Die Gastgeber waren sehr hilfsbereit und sehr bemüht! Wir haben uns viel besser als im Hotel gefühlt und würden gerne bei Cristoph und Pierre-Louis wieder übernachten :) Merci beaucoup pour votre hospitalite !

I was a solo female traveller from the U.S. I was welcomed very warmly. The flat looked better than it did in pictures. You truly feel like you are in Paris with all the Paris decor. The apartment is very tastefully decorated and very neat and tidy. Christophe and his friends helped me a great deal in navigating through the city with maps and directions. The bed was comfortable and I loved that you did not have to share the bath with anyone and there is also a patio where you can have some wine if you decide to stay in. I also loved the French breakfasts. Made my morning every day :) The flat is about 5 minute walk from the Gallieni station and I loved that you can take a bus that is 2 minutes away directly to the louvre. I loved the hospitality and these guys just rock!

First, if you compare with Google Street view, you'll notice the street was renovated. The flat is new and clean, in a quiet alley in Bagnolet, a post-industrial Paris banlieue. The room (there is one for rent in a 2-room apartment), is comfortable, clean, practical and tastefully decorated - unsurprisingly as one of the hosts is in the photo / movie industry and the other is in the hospitality business. The hosts are welcoming, friendly and worldly with good advice on things to do or see, or on logistics and transportation. The breakfast (included) was to rate, as were the teas. Overall, I warmly recommend their B&B.

I didn't want to stay in the busy city, so I chose to stay here for a couple of nights. The room was cozy and tastefully designed with personal lockers and private bath tub. I enjoyed the tea on the balcony every night. This city is an up and coming area and is close to major bus and subway lines to get to where I needed to go. The hosts were very welcoming and accommodating. Thanks Christophe for baking that tasty chocolate cake and Thanks to you Pierre-Louis for serving lovely breakfasts with fresh bread.

Thank you so much for welcoming me into your home! My stay at La terrasse de la Malmaison was as I had hoped it would be, and it was perfect! The pleasant conversations, relaxing accommodations, and extra touches (I loved the lavender bath soak!) were among the highlights of my trip. I hope you come and visit me in the USA sometime! You're welcome any time and have inspired me to use this site for future travel. Thank you Christophe and Pierre-Louis!

I really enjoyed meeting both of you, Pierrre-Louis and Christophe. It was just like being invited by a couple of friends, sharing their flat, their conversation, their balcony and their everyday life. Add to that a charming room, the quiet surroundings and excellent breakfasts, what else could you wish for ? I was meaning to stay 2 nights, I stayed one more - pour le plaisir.
Innkeeper Response

I stayed one night and the day after. Christophe and Pierre-Louis are very nice and welcoming. The room and the bathroom are clean and very well decorated. The breakfast is a feast. The flat is easy to find and located in a quiet street.

We stayed here three nights (16th of april - 19th of april 2013) and we really enjoyed our stay. Pierre and Christophe are great hosts that will do anything to make you feel at home. The room was clean, cosy and very nicely decorated. They treated us like guests but also as friends, not just doing what they are supposed to do as hosts, but also inviting us to have tea with them and to have a chat. We were even allowed to stay in their house because our bus was leaving late in the evening, even though Christophe and Pierre weren't there. They trusted us and we really appreciated it! I would definitely stay there again when I am in Paris. Apart from their amazing hospitality, the bed and breakfast is located very conviently, close to metro, bus and velib stations. Highly recommended!
Innkeeper Response
Many thanks for taking time reviewing about your stay with us. It is always good to see that our place and service fits your expectation. Sharing time with our guests is one of the reason we decided to do B&B! You're expected to come back whenever you can! Kind Regards,

13 for '13 (Part 3 of 3): Thirteen Market-Beating Investments for the New Year
Jeff is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
The New Year has now fully arrived and your portfolio is ready to take a serious turn for the better. 2013 promises to be difficult for many traditional investments, with the Biggest Loser being U.S. Treasurys. Remarkably, as with most secular markets, the great horde of less astute investors continues to pile into Treasurys at exactly the wrong moment, at the tail-end of its 30+ year bull market. While they may not lose money in 2013, their time is coming as hyperinflation necessarily lurks around some future corner, thanks to Ben Bernanke and his gargantuan money printing policies. Until then, I'm predicting that the following year(s) will bring nothing but stagnation for Treasury-owners. You, the wiser investor, will do well to avoid them.
Moving on, we now turn to the final five of Thirteen Market-Beating Investments for the New Year. We covered the first three in Part One, which you can read here. The middle five were covered in Part Two, which you are welcome to read here. For your convenience, I will list all 13 investment opportunities at the end of this third--and final--article.
9. British Petroleum (NYSE: BP)
Possibly the safest mid- to long-term stock you can own, I think of BP more like an ultra-safe bond that will increase its "interest" (i.e., dividend) over the next several years from an already robust 5%. There are many haters of BP, the company, because of the worst-ever oil spill in 2010 that stained the Gulf of Mexico as well as our memories.
One of the great things about owning a hated stock is that most of the bad news (lower earnings, higher expenses for clean-up, anticipated lawsuits, etc.) is already "priced into" the stock. That is, when bad news comes, the stock price barely budges lower. Conversely, if any good news trickles in unexpectedly, the stock tends to soar since it is interpreted as light at the end of a long, dark tunnel.
I've already extolled the virtues (ad nauseum) of owning BP in a previous article, which I trust you will enjoy reading here. To whet your appetite, I compare this down, out and unloved stock to the great American fighter: Rocky Balboa. The harder he gets hit, the more strength he seems to draw. Put BP in your portfolio, reinvest the dividends, then make a note on your smart phone calendar to send me a thank-you letter in 10 years for the contrarian advice that made you wealthier.
10. The Blackstone Group L.P. (NYSE: BX)
One of my favorite macro-trends in the U.S. economy for 2013 and beyond is the recovering housing market. The best way to invest is to purchase foreclosed or highly undervalued properties in desirable locations. Unfortunately, if you are unmotivated, underfunded, or both, you probably did not go out and buy any houses or apartments in the last few years. Fortuitously, Blackstone provides you with an additional lucrative opportunity to place in your portfolio alongside of Two Harbors Investment and Silver Bay Realty Trust (described in 13 for '13, Part 1).
An international alternative asset management company, Blackstone has $54 billion--fully 25%--of its current assets in private equity real estate. Already the global leader in this arena, Blackstone is prepared to invest an additional $13 billion in similar opportunities. In layman's terms: this is some serious moola. More importantly, these guys really know what they are doing in the real estate world. In a recent conference call, co-founder, Chairman and CEO, Stephen A. Schwarzman stated this about his company, "Over our 27-year history, we've generated net annualized returns [of] 28% in our global real estate business, which dwarfs performance of virtually any other investment class."
Well ahead of their competition in the U.S., Blackstone has created a national single-family rental home platform called "Invitation Homes." This entity, the largest of its kind, will purchase, refurbish, lease and maintain rental properties in some of the nation's hardest hit cities. In addition, Blackstone Group is also buying, fixing and selling distressed or foreclosed properties for a tidy profit. Sound like a good business to own? I think so.
Crunching some basic numbers makes the story even better. Analysts predict dividends of $1.38 per share in 2014. At the current share price of around $16.50, that equals a yield of 8.4%. Analysts also estimate earnings of $2.85 per share in 2014, which means that BX is trading at a forward P/E of less than 6. That is a crazy-low valuation for a company that is poised to make huge profits on the recovering housing market! Invest in Blackstone before the rest of the market catches on to its breath-taking potential.
11. Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL)
I know, I know. What's the point of even talking about Apple? Doesn't everyone own some AAPL shares already? I can't count the number of people (and I'm good at counting) who want to show-off their investment prowess to me by saying, "I bought Apple at $11." "I bought Apple at $37.50." etc., etc. Yes, you are incredible. And no, I did not buy Apple shares in 2000 or 2002 or 2004. In fact, I was in residency at the time, was having several small children, was chronically sleep-deprived, and was really poor. I was out of popular culture for so many years that I thought Apple computers were still made just for playing Oregon Trail as a reward for finishing your school work before class ended.
So what should an unfortunate sap like me (and maybe you) do today, as Apple now sits at a price of greater than $500? Has the sun set on this behemoth of a company? Has the ship sailed? Shall we go to the grave sullen and wistful of what we should have purchased a decade ago?
Alas, no. Here's why . . .
Any way you look at it, Apple remains an incredible growth AND value investment today. Minus Steve Jobs, it still has a forward P/E of 9, a Return on Assets (ROA) of 24%, a Return on Equity (ROE) of 43%, a Profit Margin of 27%, an Operating Margin of 35%, a 2% dividend, a mountain of cash (you could literally make a mountain if you piled-up their cash hoard), and no debt. These numbers make the Scandinavian boy in me want to say, "Uff da!"
So quit with your, "It's just not the same company without Steve Jobs." Or, "The iPhone has lost its magic." Or some other nonsensical dribble. The truth is--and the facts remain--that Apple is an absolutely incredible company, and AAPL remains a strong buy for you and for me in 2013.
12. V.F. Corp. (NYSE: VFC)
Sitting now in the middle of its 52-week range ($128.92-169.82) at around $149, VFC just broke through to the downside of its 200-day moving average. While momentum traders shudder at this kind of news and rush to place their sell or short orders, fundamental value investors like us should start drooling at the thought of an even better price entry point. (Okay, my wife thinks that "drooling" is a little strong and an especially gross descriptor. Granted. But when a fantastic growth stock plunges you should crunch some numbers, make sure that the investment story is still intact, then start buying more shares hand over fist.)
If you've read my recent analysis of VFC (check it out here), then you know that it continues to be the premier growth stock of the Textiles, Apparel and Luxury Goods industry. Recent quarter earnings grew by 27% year-over-year, revenue increased by 14%, and V.F. Corp. recently raised its dividend by 21%! When a growth story this solid takes a breather--like it is doing right now--jump on board.
13. Teekay LNG Partners L.P. (NYSE: TGP)
The American shale revolution is changing the international energy landscape. Control of--and access to--energy is the political equivalent of power in the modern age. As I stated in Part One of this 3-part series, the USA is set to become the leading producer of natural gas and oil by at least 2020, thanks to hydraulic fracturing and other modern extraction techniques.
This is absolutely stunning. Especially since every one of us has been taught since toddler-hood that we will soon be running out of oil, gas and water and need to begin preparing for solar-powered cars, airplanes and other imaginary, pseudo-scientific ideas. Now with "peak oil" theorists and their textbooks nearly drowning in a literal over-supply (yes, you read that correctly) of natural gas and oil, things are also changing for investors. So, in 2 minutes or less, let's try to wrap our heads around what this means for us.
The inevitable consequence of over supply and stable demand for natural gas and oil is that prices will fall, as they have already started doing.
In light of this, there will be massive changes in the way money is made in the world of energy extraction, delivery and usage. In a nutshell, I think that the profits of oil-majors and other large holders of natural gas and oil reserves will actually suffer from the lower prices. Numerous "picks-and-shovels" outfits could benefit. Refineries, chemical companies, infrastructure and energy transportation companies should also benefit. Got it?
Today I will quickly introduce you to one beneficiary: Teekay LNG Partners L.P. (TGP).
TGP transports liquefied natural gas (LNG), liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), and crude oil worldwide. It has 1,336 full-time employees managing/operating a fleet of 27 LNG carriers, 5 LPG/Multigas carriers, and 11 conventional tankers. Importantly, unlike most shipping businesses these days, Teekay is quite profitable. TGP boasts a Profit Margin of 35%, an Operating Margin of 47%, a Quarterly Revenue Growth of 2%, and a Quarterly Earnings Growth of 20%. Happily, TGP also pays an annual dividend of $2.70, for a current yield of 6.8%.
If you are just learning about the world-changing increase in natural gas and oil coming out of the U.S., I recommend becoming a shareholder of Teekay LNG Partners as a great place to start.
In conclusion, thanks for sticking with me through this three-part article as we discussed Thirteen Market-Beating Investments for the New Year. I hope you find the following summary table helpful.

Rated 4.5 out of 5�by 2 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by hobbes007 Great Item/Service This was my first purchase through Dick's and couldn't be happier with the transaction. the item was delivered quickly and in perfect shape. The trainer was a little difficult (for my son) to set up but we are now enjoying a good workout in the house when weather is not so nice outside. June 18, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by Oldcobb Be carefull with your tube Construction is sturdy, set up is easy, it folds and stores well. The resistance is sufficient for my 62 year old legs and lungs. I was trying to make it quieter by tightening the wheel tension and I blew out my tire tube. Not the fault of the trainer, but something new users will want to watch. Overall, it will be very useful to me February 20, 2011

Just right for the "Flower" girl
Comments about Fairy Invitation:
My daughter was very specific in wanting a "Flower" birthday party for her 3rd, and this invitation was absolutely perfect for it! With the flowers and the fairies, and they are even having a tea party, it covered most all of the bases she requested (and I don't really know how a princess could go on the invite also, so it really was the best one for the job). I was very happy with the paper quality and printing of this invitation and will certainly be coming back to Amy Adele for other similar needs. All of the recipients were very impressed with this invitation as well. I would highly recommend this invitation to anyone looking!
BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

Oversized is an understatement.
Oakley designed the Factory Pilot Canopy goggle to maximize peripheral vision with no compromises. What that means for you is an unrestricted view without helmet compatibility issues. They'll stay fog-free thanks to Oakley's F3 anti-fog coating and dual-vented lenses. Plus, they've got cutouts in the frame for compatibility with glasses; that means you'll be able to see pretty much everything, at least until you duck into the white room for a break.
- Spherical, UV protective Plutonite lenses
- F3 Anti-fog technology
- Dual venting
- Compatible with most prescription glasses

Once you've used the canopy you'll never use another goggle. The periphery on this goggle is insane. It will make you realize exactly what you've been missing. I have this particular color and I love it. I like the look on face. Killer goggle!

Chase Tapley contributed 14 points and Winston Shepard added 11 points off the bench for the Aztecs (12-2), who won their 31st straight game against opponents from the Golden State. San Diego State has also rattled off nine straight overall and 13 in row at home against non-conference contenders.
"We are 12-2 and have won 31 straight against California teams," San Diego State coach Steve Fisher remarked. "I love our team but I want us to get better and they do also."
Stephon Carter led all scorers with 21 points and Corey Hall totaled 14 points and nine rebounds for the Roadrunners (6-11), who made just 3-of-18 from beyond the arc.
The Aztecs scored the game's first five points and claimed a 16-7 advantage on Franklin's 3-pointer nearly five minutes in. San Diego State then closed the half with nine successive points capped by five from Tapley, including a 3- pointer with seven seconds left for the halftime margin, 37-20.
Tapley's jumper about 5 1/2 minutes into the second half put the Aztecs in front, 45-25, and the margin moved between 15 and 24 points for the remainder of the game.
"I wasn't pleased with our guys and the hunger that we played with," Cal State Bakersfield coach Rob Barnes admitted. "We understand they're the better team, but we've got to compete. We did not show enough mental toughness."
Game Notes
This marked the first-ever meeting between the two programs ... Franklin was back in double digits after seeing his 32-game streak of double-digit scoring come to an end versus Arizona in Hawaii ... The Aztecs lived at the charity stripe, holding a 21-point margin (27-6) from the foul line. San Diego State made four less field goals than the Roadrunners, but made three more free throws than CS-Bakersfield made field goals (27-24).

Tomek Sętowski and "magical realism."
The moon is friend for the lonesome to talk to. ~Carl Sandburg
The moon and stars
I want to write about faith, about the way the moon rises over cold snow, night after night,
faithful even as it fades from fullness, slowly becoming that last curving and impossible sliver of light before the final darkness.
But I have no faith myself I refuse it even the smallest entry.
Let this then, my small poem, like a new moon, slender and barely open, be the first prayer that opens me to faith.

NEWTOWN, Conn. (AP) - As the nation paused to mark a week since the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School, new details emerged Friday about the gunman, Adam Lanza, who acquaintances said was able to take apart and reassemble a computer in a matter of minutes but rarely spoke to anyone.
In high school, Lanza used to slither through the hallways, awkwardly pressing himself against the wall while wearing the same green shirt and khaki pants every day. He hardly ever talked to classmates and once gave a presentation entirely by computer, never uttering a single word.
"As long as I knew him, he never really spoke," said Daniel Frost, who took a computer class with Lanza and remembered his skill with electronics.
Lanza seemed to spend most of his time in his own large space in the basement of the home he shared with his mother - the same basement where she kept a collection of guns, said Russell Ford, a friend of Nancy Lanza's who had done chimney and pipe work on the house.
A week ago, Lanza fatally shot his mother before blasting his way into the school, killing 20 children and six teachers with a military style rifle. As police approached, he used a handgun to commit suicide.
Nancy Lanza was often seen around town and regularly chatted up friends and acquaintances at a local restaurant, but her 20-year-old son was a mysterious figure who was seldom spotted in this community of rolling hills and clapboard colonial homes, according to Ford and other townspeople.
The basement of the Lanza home was fully carpeted and had artwork, including a picture of a horse, on the walls. There was a computer, a flat-screen television, couches and an elaborate setup for video games. Nancy Lanza kept her guns in what appeared to be a secure case in another part of the basement, Ford said.
"She was from gun culture. Live free or die. That was truly her upbringing," said Ford, who often met the New Hampshire native and other friends at a regular Tuesday gathering at My Place, a local restaurant.
Ford did not know if Lanza brought her son shooting.
Over the past year and a half, Ford said, Nancy Lanza had told him that she planned to move out West and enroll Adam in a "school or a center." The plan started unfolding after Adam turned 18.
"He wouldn't be dwelling with her," said Ford, who remembered that Adam Lanza never spoke to him or even made eye contact.

Rutland Police investigating car window-breaking rampageStaff Report | January 23,2013Vyto Starinskas / Staff Photo
Vyto Starinskas Photo - One of the dozens of cars that were damaged in an overnight spree of breaking windows.
More than 50 cars and at least two businesses were damaged during the early morning hours today by an unknown vandal who used a pellet gun to shoot out windows, according to city police.
There were no witnesses to the incidents, but dozens of complaints streamed into the department today from car owners who found their windows shattered.
"It was all over the city," City Police Sgt. James Tarbell said of the incidents.
Tarbell estimated the damage would cost "tens of thousands of dollars" to repair.
Police have asked that anyone with a shot-out window or anyone who may have seen anything suspicious last night, please call 773-1820.MORE IN This Just InFree lecture about Full StoryMIDDLEBURY — Operators of a holistic health center are planning a grand opening from 4 p.m. Full StoryCastleton State College present a production of the drama "Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad...

How to Choose the Best Sunglasses for Your Face Shape
There are a wide range of fashion sunglasses on the market, in a variety of styles and colors, but choosing the right pair to complement your looks can be a daunting task if unaware of the best fit for your face shape.
For women with heart-shaped faces, look to more rounded silhouettes or cat-eye styles that will accentuate prominent cheekbones without overwhelming your frame. Stray from over-designed fashionable sunglasses with too many embellishments at the front, as it can make your forehead look wider. The best sunglasses for heart-shaped faces have wide arms, giving a narrowing effect to your forehead.
Try many different shades and shapes of sunglasses before you purchase and shop for discount sunglasses, as it will give you the option to test an array of styles. For women with oblong-shaped faces, shop for oversized and fuller frames that provide a range of coverage and make the face look rounder. Nina Ricci's Lunettes Paris Vintage Sunglasses are the perfect frames to accentuate the narrow oblong shape. These designer discounted sunglasses are fabulously perfect for a globetrotting adventure or a relaxing day at the beach.
For women with oval-shaped faces, you are lucky enough to look great in any frame! To draw focus and to balance your look, sport a pair of angular fashion sunglasses in savvy collars. Frames with a high bridge will help to accent the cheekbones.
Square-face shapes will look great in flattering round, oval and cat-eye silhouettes. Discard strong geometric shapes as they will draw attention to an angular face. Large round frames balance a square face.
For those ladies with fuller cheekbones and round-shaped faces, try wide, rectangular frames that will highlight facial appearances. Round frames and bold colored sunglasses will focus attention on the fullness. The best pair of sunglasses will not overwhelm your pretty features, but instead accentuate your looks and personal style.

What is your poetry?
Poetry communicates what nothing other than poetry can. We all have those unspoken stories, the resounding silence and the brilliance of darkness that defy the structures of prose. Some of us can have poetry to speak for us, like Suheir does. Some of us do not have it and read it to know that someone else has spoken for us.
Leonard Cohen said, 'Poetry is just the evidence of life. If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash.'
How well is your life burning? How much ash did it gather? What is your poetry?
Dedicated to my TED friend Jim Moonan.

Usama KamilJun 17 2013: Thank you :). I think many people can relate. The basic idea is a pondering upon the alternative roads of livelihood that have been extinguished by hesitating excessively. The funny thing is how we justify the decision to stall by being afraid of the consequences as they are seen from our current point of view - as if we really did have full control of our destinies and hadn't been the victims of the recurrent ambushment of serendipity.

Just read this article. Kind of a cool idea and could open up all sorts of new options too. I'm sure purists will have an issue with the concept however.
Can Lytro take on Canon and Nikon? - Fortune Tech
kind of along the lines of what the previous poster posted...
Lytro Is Developing a Camera That May Change Photography as We Know It
So, has FBJ been saving his money? Lots of talk over at nikonrumors.com about a major announcement from Nikon in August. Supposedly its the long awaited D4 and D400. Also an article from Japan showing D4 and D900 illustrations.
So what can we expect? The D3 was a game changer that got Nikon back into the sports and photojournalism markets. Four years later you have to expect they have something good up their sleeves. More pixels? Faster frame rates? More senitivity? HD video? Built in WiFi? I'm on pins and needles!
I thought this was pretty cool and you guys might enjoy it as well.

My wife got me the Canon 60D for Fathers day but due to the amount of hours I have been working just got it out of the box today. I took one look at it and went straight to Amazon.com and bought the Canon 60D for Dummies. I can't wait to see what this thing can do.
OK, time to throw away your DSLR's.

In Germany, Austria, Switzerland and France it is already taught.
50,000 doctors are homeopaths in these countries. In Switzerland, after long research, it is seen as a cost–effective way to provide state medical care.
Those who are truly informed about homeopathy and its benefits know that it can never be assessed by any "this remedy cures that ailment" criteria, but that "this remedy works on that individual" and has real benefits to long–term health.
Vets and pharmacists know it works well too and, just as with medicine, it is included in their teaching in France and the German speaking countries too.
Do you know what will happen to homeopathy in Switzerland in 2017?
not yet!
Pity. It might be worth homeopaths finding out.
Remind me not to get sick in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, or France....
That's a silly game. Why don't you just tell her?
The Swiss actually found the evidence for five types of pseudo medicine, homeopathy included, to be inconclusive. Therefore, the government will gather more evidence and reevaluate it in 2017.

Dozens of members of Congress, the military and others gathered in the Capitol's Emancipation Hall on Wednesday to honor 33 tribes from 11 states for the wartime contributions of so-called code talkers.
Descendants of code talkers and representatives from the tribes were in attendance at the ceremony.
House Speaker John Boehner says members of tribes from across the country served bravely during the world wars, using "the simplest weapon - their language." He says thousands of lives were saved because of their bravery.
Iowa congressional leaders were on hand to congratulate local tribes.
U.S. Rep. Bruce Braley congratulated the Meskwaki tribe in particular.
"The Code Talkers who served during World War I and World II performed a remarkable job that no one else could," Braley said in a statement Wednesday. "They were sent to war as young boys where their unbreakable code saved thousands of lives as they deceived our enemies time after time. They returned home as quiet heroes, sworn to secrecy and unable to discuss their experience with even their closest family.
"At the ceremony today, members of the Meskwaki tribe were present to honor their ancestors who served as Code Talkers," he continued. "It was an inspiration to see them recognized for their service and a proud day for Iowa to know that these remarkable men finally received the recognition they've long deserved."
U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley also helped honor Meskwaki tribe members at the ceremony.
"The ceremony was long overdue but the recognition was heartfelt," Grassley said in a statement Wednesday. "All of us are grateful for the contribution of the Meskwaki members and others who used their language in service to our country. The code talkers saved lives. They used something unique to them to help preserve the United States from sworn enemies."
Congress previously awarded the Gold Medal to code talkers in 2008. Wednesday's ceremony was for more than two dozen tribes not included in that initial honor.
Associated Press writer HENRY C. JACKSON contributed to this report.

Toddler drowns in backyard pool
Published on Wed, Aug 5, 2009 by
Jack Kintner

Ava Bock, an 18-month-old girl drowned Tuesday morning at her Boundary Court home in Blaine after climbing into the family swimming pool. She was found unconscious approximately ten minutes later by a family member.
The pool is four feet high and ten feet in diameter, said Lisa Moeller, public information officer for the Blaine police department. It has a small ladder on the side.
A 911 call was placed at 10:37 a.m. An agent from the Blaine sector of the U.S. Border Patrol was first on the scene. "He was patrolling the area and responded," said border patrol spokesperson Michael Bermudez, adding "Blaine piggybacks off our communications center."
The agent, whose name was not released, took over CPR from a family member who had been receiving instructions from the 911 operator.
Blaine police officers Andy Anorbes, Jay Punches and Sgt. Ryan King arrived next. CPR was continued until paramedics arrived from North Whatcom Fire and Rescue. "We continued CPR and headed south on I-5 to meet the Whatcom Medic Three unit coming north to save time." said NWFR Chief Tom Fields. The two aid cars met at the Grandview Road interchange.
The victim was taken to St. Joseph Hospital in Bellingham after the initial 911 call but was pronounced dead about an hour later, Moeller said, after attempts to revive her failed.

9/22/2014 | Blue Jays handily beat Mariners in game, edge them in reviews, 2-1
There were three video reviews during Monday's Toronto-Seattle game at Rogers Centre, with the first and third results favoring the Blue Jays, the second one favoring the Mariners.
9/22/2014 | With Stroman out, Gibbons says Thursday will be a bullpen day
John Gibbons didn't say who will be Thursday's starter in place of the suspended Marcus Stroman, but it likely will be a bullpen day for the Blue Jays against the Mariners.
9/21/2014 | Needing to come up aces, Mariners turn to King Felix
Felix Hernandez starts for the desperate, Wild Card-chasing Mariners on Tuesday night in Toronto, with R.A. Dickey looking to continue his late-season surge for the Blue Jays.
9/20/2014 | Stroman returns Blue Jays to win column
Facing the prospect of an impending six-game suspension from Major League Baseball, Marcus Stroman delivered another strong start in this impressive rookie season and led the Blue Jays to a 6-3 victory over the Yankees at Yankee Stadium on Saturday.
9/20/2014 | Lind sidelined with back pain
Adam Lind was out of the Blue Jays' starting lineup against the Yankees on Saturday after experiencing back pain.
9/20/2014 | Stroman aims to cool off Yanks, help Jays snap skid
Staring down a six-game suspension for throwing at an opposing hitter, Marcus Stroman will make his scheduled start against the Yankees on Saturday while his pending appeal rests with the league. He'll look to help the Blue Jays snap a six-game losing streak, while the Yanks, who are 4 1/2 games behind the Royals for the second AL Wild Card spot, go for their fourth straight victory behind lefty Chris Capuano.
9/20/2014 | Tournament 12 title matchups take shape at Rogers Centre
On Saturday, championship games at the Tournament 12 at Toronto's Rogers Centre will showcase what is fast becoming a supremely talented group of youth players north of the border in Canada.
9/19/2014 | Buehrle can't solve Yanks as Blue Jays' skid continues
Despite all his success throughout his career, Mark Buehrle's struggles against the Yankees have been well-documented. He was bested again on Friday night at Yankee Stadium, 5-3, dropping his career record to 1-14 against New York. This seven-game road trip is off to a disastrous 0-5 start for the Blue Jays, and the club has lost a season-high six consecutive games overall.
9/19/2014 | Naylor, Orimoloye among Canada's best youth players
Demi Orimoloye and Josh Naylor were the headliners of Tournament 12, an amateur baseball showcase at Rogers Centre featuring 160 of the top draft-eligible players in the country. Both players missed the beginning of the event due to Hurricane Odile, which kept the Canadian Junior National Team stranded in Mexico for a few days.
9/19/2014 | Kelley not pleased with Bautista's reaction after homer
Shawn Kelley will admit that he missed his location. His batterymate, Francisco Cervelli, will admit that he called the wrong pitch. Either way, the combination resulted in Jose Bautista smacking Kelley's high fastball into the left-field seats to tie Thursday's game in the eighth inning. But it's what came directly after Bautista's swing that may have angered Kelley the most, when the Blue Jays slugger slammed his bat down and began cursing as he rounded the bases.
9/19/2014 | Encarnacion has MRI on back, homers vs. Yanks
Edwin Encarnacion has been experiencing some back pains the past few days, so he had a precautionary MRI on his back on Friday. Manager John Gibbons said the back aggravates Encarnacion "every now and then," but he was in the Blue Jays' starting lineup, batting third as the designated hitter and homered in his first at-bat Friday night vs. the Yankees.
9/19/2014 | Pompey gets first hit, receives congratulations from Jeter
Dalton Pompey grew up rooting for the Yankees and watching Derek Jeter, so the fact that his first career Major League start came at Yankee Stadium made it that much more special to him. Pompey promptly recorded his first career hit in the Majors with a single in the second inning of the Blue Jays' 5-3 loss on Friday night. At the end of the inning he had a brief conversation with Jeter, who told him, "Congrats, I hope for a great career for you."
9/19/2014 | Pompey, one of Canada's best, follows in brother's footsteps
Tristan Pompey, one of Canada's top draft-eligible prospects, is following in his brother's footsteps and taking part in the Tourney 12 Tournament this week in Toronto.
9/19/2014 | Jays Care, Harlem RBI honored with top philanthropy award
Jays Care Foundation and Harlem RBI, along with the Tiger Woods Foundation, were recipients of the 2014 Steve Patterson Award for Excellence in Sports Philanthropy, presented by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation a day earlier in a ceremony in Princeton, N.J. MLB held an event Friday in Manhattan to mark the recognitions, and the fact that baseball has now accounted for seven of these increasingly prestigious awards, the most of any sport.
9/19/2014 | Blue Jays, Yanks out to keep playoff hopes alive
Neither team has been mathematically eliminated, but the playoff chances of the Yankees and the Blue Jays are dwindling by the day. After a win over Toronto on Thursday, the Yankees pulled within five games of the A's for the second American League Wild Card spot, while the Blue Jays remained six games back. Toronto's Mark Buehrle faces New York's Hiroki Kuroda in the second game of the four-game series Friday night.
9/19/2014 | Dickey nets 200 innings for fourth straight year
When R.A. Dickey retired his first hitter in the fourth inning of the Blue Jays' 3-2 loss to the Yankees on Thursday night, he reached the 200-innings mark for the fourth consecutive season. He has thrown the fifth-most innings in the Majors since 2011.
9/18/2014 | BC-Orange, two Ontario squads unbeaten at Tournament 12
The power rankings are becoming clearer after the second day of round-robin play wrapped up at Tournament 12 on Thursday night. To no surprise, it appears British Columbia-Orange and the two Ontario teams are the squads to beat.
9/18/2014 | Blue Jays fall to Yanks on Lind's error in ninth
Blue Jays manager John Gibbons insists this four-game series against the Yankees means more than just a battle for second place in the American League East -- which the Orioles clinched on Tuesday -- and that it is important to finish the season strong. Both Toronto and New York came into Thursday's game with identical records and faint hopes for the postseason, but the Yankees sealed a 3-2 walk-off victory on an error committed by Adam Lind in the ninth inning.
9/18/2014 | Stroman expected to make next start as appeal plays out
Blue Jays manager John Gibbons expects right-hander Marcus Stroman to start against the Yankees on Saturday as scheduled as the appeal process for his six-game suspension plays out.
9/18/2014 | Tournament 12 gets underway with exciting slate of games
If there was a lesson to be learned during the first day of games at the Tournament 12 showcase, it was to not count any team out. Wednesday's slate of games were filled with come-from-behind victories, as the top amateur talent across the nation produced non-stop excitement at Rogers Centre.
9/18/2014 | Jeter begins final homestand as Blue Jays fly in

9/17/2014 | Blue Jays come up empty in Baltimore
Left-hander J.A. Happ allowed five runs and his offense remained missing in action as the Blue Jays were swept out of Baltimore with a 6-1 loss to the Orioles on Wednesday night at Camden Yards.
9/16/2014 | Blue Jays respond to PETA's concern
The Blue Jays' organization will at least pause and think twice before allowing animals into its clubhouse after PETA raised concerns about a recent incident in Toronto.
9/16/2014 | Blue Jays maintain no ill intent by Stroman
One day after right-hander Marcus Stroman was issued a warning for throwing a pitch up and in to Orioles catcher Caleb Joseph, the Blue Jays maintained there wasn't any intent to cause harm.
9/16/2014 | Anthopoulos not tipping hand on Gibbons' status
Blue Jays general manager Alex Anthopoulos is notorious for keeping internal matters close to the vest. And even when it comes to manager John Gibbons, Anthopoulos is doing the same.

Research, monetary policy
- Fed policy actions in 2011 included implementing a second round of quantitative easing (QE2), launching "Operation Twist," announcing that it was keeping the fed funds rate at 0 percent to 0.25 percent through mid-2013, maintaining the size of its balance sheet.
- The Atlanta Fed built and launched the Inflation Dashboard and the Business Inflation Expectations survey. Inflation was a significant research focus in 2011.
- The Regional Economic Information Network continued to expand grassroots information gathering. In particular, regional executives established relationships with leaders of the top 50 employers in their zones and began regular roundtable meetings with bankers.
- The Federal Reserve Board selected the Atlanta and Cleveland Feds to lead the State and Local Government Financial Monitoring Team (Muni-FMT) for the Financial Stability Oversight Council. The Muni-FMT identifies trends in state and local fiscal conditions, borrowing, and pensions that could destabilize the financial system.
- The Atlanta Census Research Data Center (U.S. Census Bureau entity), one of only 10 in the country, opened at the Atlanta Fed.
- The Atlanta Fed held eight major policy/research conferences exploring timely topics including entrepreneurship during recovery, employment and education, innovation, the new financial landscape, and green development and finance.
Supervision and regulation
- The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (or the Dodd-Frank Act) took effect in July 2011. An early, significant effect of the act for the Atlanta Fed was its added supervisory duties for 46 thrift holding companies, the largest of which is St. Petersburg, Florida-based Raymond James, with $15 billion in assets.
- The Supervision and Regulation Division continued restructuring its department. It instituted forward-looking examinations and general macroprudential regulation and added staff in areas of need.
- The Office of Minority and Women Inclusion was established at the Atlanta Fed and staffed, as required by the Dodd-Frank Act.
Retail Payments Office / Payments
- The payments industry continued its migration toward the electronic. The 2010 Federal Reserve Payments Study, released in 2011 for data through 2009, found that more than three-quarters of all U.S. noncash payments in 2009 were electronic. By contrast, the 2007 payments study revealed that roughly two-thirds of noncash payments were electronic.
- Industry innovation continued to explode—for example, big banks formed a joint venture to compete with PayPal. As a result of dynamic innovation, the Retail Payments Office (RPO) continued to track and gauge the effects of rapid change.
- To keep abreast of industry changes, the RPO undertook major initiatives to upgrade efficiency and relevance.
- The Nashville cash operation moved to a third-party depot arrangement. The Nashville Branch cash operations closed at the end of July. A small staff focused on gathering economic intelligence and providing economic education outreach remains.
- The Atlanta-based RPO achieved cost recovery for both check and FedACH services, as required by the Monetary Control Act.
Public outreach
- Atlanta Fed President and Chief Executive Officer Dennis Lockhart gave about two dozen speeches in 2011. Major themes of the speeches included downward revisions in the economic outlook, unemployment, vulnerability to shocks, rebalancing (fiscal adjustments, deleveraging, public pension reform), shoring up the financial system, inflation, and general economic uncertainty.
- Podcasts and videocasts covered such general economic topics as community development and real estate, and many others.
- Other events presented by the Atlanta Fed included Public Affairs Forums featuring distinguished speakers on the economics of sports and retirement planning.
- The Atlanta Fed launched its YouTube channel. The channel has more than 70 videos or video segments that range from Financial Markets Conference speeches and interviews to videos with President Lockhart, and from Public Affairs Forum interviews to Classroom Economist videos.
- The Financial Education group conducted 126 teacher workshops for teachers from 768 high schools. The group also made 123 presentations to local, state, and national teacher conferences, reaching 4,359 teachers who in turn reach 327,000 students.
Corporate citizenship
- The renovated Check 21 work area at the main office in Atlanta earned LEED designation, a prestigious green building and design certification.
- The Atlanta Fed celebrated 10 years at its 1000 Peachtree St. headquarters.
- The employee volunteer program celebrated its 15th anniversary.
- The employee-founded and funded nonprofit, Charity Parity, celebrated its 65th anniversary.
- Charitable contributions to nonprofit organizations hit the $4 million mark.

Redefining a classic
A sophisticated and iconic brand
Jamnica has been the most successful mineral water brand in Croatia for many years. The owner, Agrokor Group, decided to reposition the water as a premium brand in response to increased competition and the presence of more international brands in the market.
Interbrand was hired to develop the brand positioning and manage its subsequent implementation. The main goal was to create a sophisticated and iconic design. The story of 'Jana', the character historically linked with the brand, was also to be updated in order to provide the basis for the future visual identity of the Jamnica brand.
Interbrand developed a logo, key visual and a completely new visual identity for the brand. The premium character of the brand is reflected in the unique glass and PET bottles designed by Interbrand, which feature a new label. The design still honors the long tradition of the brand – the label on the front of the bottle features an updated Jana, and her story is told on the back of the bottle.
Our client isn't the only one who was impressed by the new bottle. The 1l glass bottle received the 'Cropak of the year 2007' award, which recognizes most innovative designs from Croatian companies each year. Consumer surveys conducted during other projects show that Jamnica is now considered the ultimate premium mineral water brand in Croatia.
