The Cosmo Bikini Diet: Lose 15 Pounds & Get a Sexy, Super-Toned Body! Hardcover
In this groundbreaking book, Mark Singleton calls
into question many commonly held beliefs about the nature and
origins of postural yoga (asana)
and suggests a radically new way of understanding the meaning of
yoga as it is practiced by millions of people across the world
today. Singleton shows that, contrary to popular belief, there is no
evidence in the Indian tradition for the kind of health and
fitness-oriented asana practice
that dominates the global yoga scene of the twenty-first century.
Singleton's surprising--and surely controversial--thesis is that
yoga as it is popularly practiced today owes a greater debt to
modern Indian nationalism and, even more surprisingly, to the
spiritual aspirations of European bodybuilding and early
20th-century women's gymnastic movements of Europe and America, than
it does to any ancient Indian yoga tradition. This discovery enables
Singleton to explain, as no one has done before, how the most
prevalent forms of postural yoga, like Ashtanga, Bikram and "Hatha"
yoga, came to be the hugely popular phenomena they are today.

"I ordered these invites in the cream color and the standard cut and signature matte, I LOVE THEM. So cute! The quality of the paper is great as well. Defiantly a good deal."
"I chose this card with the premium thick paper and gold envelopes - it came out beautiful! Not cheap looking at all- looks professionally done. I needed editing done on the text and I was emailed the revisions the next day and it was perfect. Great quality and service. Just what I was looking for!"
"Once again our Wedding Paper Diva product was point on. This print is soft, light, and brings plenty of color to set your tone. With that said, don't forget to try different color filters on the flowers. We went with warm and rich orange petrels to match our fall wedding!"
"I absolutely love my engagement party invites! I was nervous about ordering them without seeing them first but they turned out to be exactly what I wanted. I ordered them in the dark blue (which is a good shade of cobalt blue). I'm very happy with these!"
"My fiance and I used this design for our engagement party. The quality of the card was above and beyond what we had expected! The paper was lovely and surprisingly thick (which was perfect, it didn't bend or tear easily), and the printing looked exactly as it did on the website. We accidentally ordered too many, so we called WPD's customer service line. They were INCREDIBLE. Someone was on the line with us within a minute and was friendly, helpful, and fixed the problem immediately without any difficulty. We will be using WPD for all of our future wedding needs because the experience has been nothing but fabulous."

There may be small signs of the economy improving, but for arts and culture both nationally and in Georgia, it appears there is still plenty of funding struggle ahead.
This week, the Obama Administration released its FY 2012 budget request to Congress, calling for a cut to the National Endowment for the Arts, from $167.5 million this year to $146 million. Some in Congress prefer deeper cuts than that.
In Georgia, the picture is not that encouraging. Gov. Nathan Deal's proposed appropriation for the Georgia Council for the Arts, the state's official arts agency, is $566,730. As recently as 2002, the state funded the GCA at $4.2 million. During a recent Arts Advocacy Day under the Gold Dome, GCA supporters pointed out that the governor's proposal puts at risk more than $300,000 in matching funds from the National Endowment for the Arts, which had designated $878,300 for the GCA for 2011.
Meanwhile, the National Endowment for the Humanities faces a proposed $22.5 million cut being debated in Congress this week.
Back in Georgia, Gov. Deal''s proposed budget completely cuts funding for the private, nonprofit Georgia Humanities Council to zero. Last year, Gov. Sonny Perdue's budget also zeroed-out the GHC, but roughly $50,000 in funding was added by by legislators during the session, allowing the agency to leverage state funds with federal and private dollars. The GHC has been operating under a 2010-11 budget of $1.4 million, 67 percent of it coming from the National Endowment for the Humanities and other federal sources.
GHC leaders are hopeful that a small amount of state funding can be found again this session, allowing it to continue to operate.
To balance Deal's proposed $18.16 billion state budget, lawmakers of course face difficult cuts in education, health care and other key areas because of revenue shortfalls of the recession.
GHC president Jamil Zainaldin, in an e-mail Monday to supporters asking them to lobby their representatives on behalf of the Georgia and federal agency, wrote: "The New Georgia Encyclopedia, National History Day, the GHC Grant Program, Museum on Main Street, the Governor's Awards in the Humanities, and Prime Time Family Reading Time all depend the continuation of NEH funds."
Zainaldin's e-mail included a link to a Feb. 9 speech by NEH chairman Jim Leach, titled "A Looming Crisis in the Humanities," delivered to the College Art Association Centennial Convocation in New York.
Here's the text by Leach, the former Republican congressman who represented Iowa for 30 years and who was nominated by President Obama to run the NEH in 2009:
I am honored to address this distinguished arts convocation on this centennial occasion.
Before discussing the humanities, let me briefly describe the sometimes blurry border between the National Endowment for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities. The NEA is principally about stimulating and appreciating creativity; the work of the NEH is aimed at providing uplift and perspective to the lives of our citizens and the country itself. The NEA thus supports theater, poetry, art making; the NEH, on the other hand, is mandated to advance research and public programs in history, literature, philosophy and related disciplines, from jurisprudence to ethics, anthropology to comparative religions.
The two Endowments are sister institutions with identical funding levels and certain overlaps. For instance, the NEH can support anything preceded by the word "history." So history of art, or for that matter, history of science or technology, is within our jurisdiction.
As you all know, Congress and virtually all state legislatures are under extraordinary pressure to restrain spending. Given the magnitude of debt levels in government as well as within the American family, the public has indicated at the ballot box that fiscal discipline is necessary, perhaps urgent.
The NEH accepts the call for restraint and recognizes the case for trimming federal spending. Nevertheless, we are deeply concerned with the entreaties of some that there be a total elimination of cultural institutions like NEA and NEH. Constraining funding may be unavoidable, but abolishing institutions central to advancing human understanding and creativity is counter to the national interest.
As the NEH's founding legislation makes clear, "The world leadership which has come to the United States cannot rest solely upon superior power, wealth, and technology, but must be solidly founded upon worldwide respect and admiration for the Nation's high qualities as a leader in the realm of ideas and of the spirit."
Humanities studies expand understanding of human nature and the human condition. Such pursuits may seem esoteric or inconsequential in view of the dire economic and security challenges we face. Indeed, the present budget debate has raised the basic question: Are the humanities bedrock necessities of enlightened citizenship, or are they a dismissible luxury for society?
That question can be answered even without invoking the unquestionable value of enriching the human spirit. There are ample national-security and practical benefits to studies in the humanities.
In public policy, inadequate attention to cultural issues can cost lives as well as money. For instance, despite having gone to war in the Persian Gulf a decade earlier, U.S. policy makers understood little of the Sunni/Shi'a divide when 9/11 hit. Likewise, despite the French experience in Algeria and the British and Russian in Afghanistan, we had little comprehension of the depth of Islamic antipathy to foreign intervention.
As for business, the development of a successful venture – especially one that aspires to international markets – must be based on understanding the values and culture of potential customers. The insights provided by humanities disciplines are not optional; they are essential.
For a people increasingly impacted by events across a diverse and restive world, there is no substitute for literature that causes readers to imagine themselves in the shoes of a variety of protagonists, for history that holds timeless lessons, or for the learning of languages that entails immersion in another culture.
There are, of course, costs to all public programs, but the cost of not supporting some could be far higher. Just as we need an infrastructure of roads and bridges, we need an infrastructure of ideas. In a splintered world, bridging cultures may be our most difficult challenge.
It takes years of training and decades of experience to create an expert in history or language, in literature or archaeology or comparative religion. It requires a steady stream of bright, highly motivated students to enter these fields. Without public support, American academic leadership could be vulnerable and the result could be costly to our society.
At NEH, we know how modest support can make a difference in sustaining America's cultural resources. Few institutions have had more impact at less cost. With annual spending that is 1/21,000th of the federal budget, barely more per capita than the cost of a postage stamp, NEH has made major contributions to the democratization of ideas, providing broad and equal access to advances in knowledge and to the nation's rich cultural heritage in programs ranging from prizewinning documentaries to programs designed to help wounded veterans cope with physical and mental trauma.
The NEH is in the knowledge development and perspective dissemination business, on scales both national and local. Through our affiliated state councils, NEH provides uplifting cultural outreach to citizens in every corner of the country, including hundreds of communities which might not be able to keep their museums and libraries open, or to provide their citizens with cultural programs, without government assistance.
Last year state humanities councils—NEH's affiliates in the fifty states, the District of Columbia and five U.S. territories— put on 17,700 reading and discussion programs, 5,700 literacy programs, 5,800 speakers bureau presentations, 5,800 conferences, 2,300 Chautauquas, 7,120 media programs, 7,600 technology, preservation, and local history events, and sponsored 4,600 exhibitions on a wide variety of themes.
These investments in the realm of ideas pay dividends. Our grandparents recognized that when, during our most traumatic economic moment — the Great Depression — a vastly greater percentage of the federal budget was devoted to the arts and humanities than today. Depression Era public programs sustained such writers as John Steinbeck, Zora Neale Hurston and Saul Bellow, and such artists as Grant Wood, Jacob Lawrence, and Louise Nevelson.
In a similar tradition, the NEH since its inception in 1965 has supported research that has resulted in 16 Pulitzer and 20 Bancroft prizes, and the editing of literary landmarks such as the Autobiography of Mark Twain. It has supported editions of papers of our nation's founders, presidents from George Washington to Dwight Eisenhower, military leaders like George C. Marshall, literary giants such as William Faulkner, scientists like Albert Einstein, social figures like Jane Addams, and civil rights pioneers such as Martin Luther King, Jr.
At this moment, the United States still leads the world in virtually every academic discipline. It is no accident that other countries have taken competitive notice. In China, despite crack-downs on the media, the Internet, and basic human rights, substantial new resources are being committed to aspects of the humanities, especially Confucian thought, and a national initiative is underway to attract foreign students. Likewise, in France, Germany and Australia there is a comprehensive effort to compete with America for foreign students.
Conversely, only the most coercive despots fear the humanities. It is not surprising, for instance, that in the wake of civil unrest, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad declared that humanities courses in Iran must be purged and revised to reflect only government-approved perspectives. The humanities are anathema to tyrants because they are specifically intended to liberate the mind.
It is the creativity, philosophical perspective, and cultural understanding that the arts and humanities instill which make America an enduring role model around the globe. They are a national asset that we short-change at our peril.

This 100% energy transfer occurs twice as rapidly as conventional projectiles. Guaranteed 100% feeding reliability provided by the new round-nose style bullet. Superior penetration in solid targets over conventional projectiles due to higher velocity and muzzle energy. No exit penetration of animate targets in any Safety Slug Caliber.
Custom Scored Jacket
Designed for controlled fragmentation
Compressed Core
Large amounts of compressed #6 or #12 shot, with uniform density guarantees target accuracy
Round Nose Design
Maximizes ballistic coefficient and effective range.
Hardball Profile
Polymer tip guarantees smooth feeding in all firearms
The #12 shot is capped with a Blue ball. It produces immediate energy dispersal, creating abrupt stopping power. It is optimally designed for warmer climates and lighter clothing.

It seems like everyone knows someone on set or who has a screener and everyone has watched a scene get set up or heard something through the grapevine or found an Instagram or Spotify page.
Now that we're officially in Glee season, here's a list of and link to the most pervasive sources, along with notes on what to watch out for before you get too worked up.
This is all under a Read More because I'll be updating it as the season goes on and more trustworthy (and untrustworthy) sources emerge.
Mainstream Media Sites (link goes to site's Glee tag): These are all trustworthy in that they don't generally lie or report false news, etc, but every site has their own bias and attitude coloring their reporting, ESPECIALLY when they livetweet watching the episode screeners.
Other Media Sites (link goes to site's Glee tag): These are sites that are smaller and a bit more internet-based, if you will. They're still growing so they kind of feel like somewhere between a fansite and something like EW. They don't tend to get ~exclusives~ but they are no less reputable, and in some cases can be a little more tolerable because they don't spend quite as much time sucking up to the Glee Powers That Be. But keep in mind that the smaller, more personal nature of the sites could leave them even more prone to personal biases.
Unsourced Websites (link goes to main site or site's Glee tag, where available): Here's where it gets dicey. These are websites that are run mostly through fan contribution and have little to no fact checking and verification, but since they have official sounding names, are often taken at face value.
Tumblrs: We're just full on into dicey now. Some tumblrs actually do get spoilers and/or screeners once in a while, usually due to a source on set. But anyone can make an official sounding Tumblr. I just saved the URL 'gleescoop' just because I can. See? Links go to main Tumblr URL. You're on your own from there.
Twitters: The only thing worse than tumblrs are twitters. People can - and do - just tweet whatever they want. STOP BELIEVING THEM. Here are the twitters I've come across that claim to be sources. They are not. Unless they're one of the official Twitters I've listed in the first section below, or just retweeting spoilers from one of the safe sources, it's likely speculation or pure invention.
Official Twitters (Keep in mind that even these people might misspeak or just do something stupid. Also I'm not going to list the entire cast, just the people behind the scenes you might not remember right off the bat, and Ryan Murphy because I feel like he'll haunt me if I don't):
Unsourced probably fake spoiler Twitters:
Am I missing something in that I don't see gleekoutbr and Gi on here? Well, this post is a year old, so maybe that's...

One day after a fresh layer of blue paint dried on the Adorni Center, vandals ripped off sections of shingles on the front and the back of the building Saturday, City Senior Facilities Specialist John Adams said.
Adams, out making repairs to the building Monday afternoon, estimated it would take about an hour and $300 to $500 to repair the damage to the waterfront recreation center.
Eureka Public Works Director Bruce Young said the repairs were especially frustrating considering a crew contracted by the city had just wrapped up a two week paint job on the building Friday morning. Young said a police report has been filed.
"We just went and spent good money to paint the Adorni Center, and then this happens," he said. "It is very frustrating considering we are trying hard to improve the look of city facilities and then we go less than 24-hours and someone does something like this."
Young said he believes the same vandals responsible for tearing the shingles off the Adorni Center also smashed brickwork in front of the Carson Mansion over the weekend, causing an additional $300 to $400 in damage. Young said he hopes Eurekans will become outraged instead of numb over the acts of vandalism.
"We need people to stay vigilant and help us combat this," he said.
Young asked members of the public to report acts of vandalism in progress to the Eureka Police Department.

Flying solo
August 30, 2010
Like many families today, both parents may work, which leaves the dilemma of where a child stays in the hours after school is out and before parents return.
Many schools offer after–hours programs for middle school students that include organized activities like games and computer time, but that also may provide mini–courses in math, computer skills, trades or languages.
However, when those classes are over, a child may still face having to be alone in the apartment or house. And, leaving your child home alone, even when he or she is a teenager, is a big responsibility that shouldn't be entered into lightly.
"Children and teens thrive on structure and they want safety," says Pete Stavinoha, Ph.D., a child psychologist at Children's Medical Center. "When you give them adult responsibilities too soon, that's when bad choices come in."
To help prepare your child or teen for solo stays at home, Stavinoha suggests outlining expectations and making them very clear to your child. "You're preparing them for the future. You can't just close your eyes and cross your fingers."
Because experts agree that age isn't necessarily a precursor to responsible behavior, here are a few guidelines that may help you determine what's right at what age:
Teens 13–14
- Home alone means just that, home – alone. Experts say friends shouldn't be allowed over and your teen shouldn't be left to care for younger siblings. The sudden "freedom," coupled with younger brothers and sisters' resistance to an older siblings' authority can be super–stressful. It's best to reserve this situation until your teen is more comfortable being home alone.
- A couple of hours is long enough for teens to fly solo – with periodic check–ins made with you via the home phone (cell phones can't guarantee your child is at home like the land line can).
- Answering the door should be off limits, as teens at this age don't typically have the judgment to recognize potential danger.
- Institute a list of chores that need to be performed, which is a win all around – your teen proves responsibility and there's less downtime to seek out trouble.
Teens 15–16
- Teens can begin staying at home, unsupervised, for longer periods of time, but they still need to check in with you frequently.
- Friends (of the same sex) can come over and your teen can begin watching after siblings (but not while friends are over).
- If a family friend drops by (make a list of approved people), it is OK for your teen to answer the door. But, as your child develops more confidence and is more at ease at home, he or she may be tempted to let his or her guard down. To test your child's "safety skills," ask a well–known neighbor or coworker to swing by. This will give you a good idea about how your teen is acting and reacting while you're away.
Teens 17–18
- At this age, if your teen has proven to be responsible and trustworthy, there's no need to check in with you.
- While it may be tempting to leave your teen unattended for a weekend, even if he or she has to stay behind for work, experts say it's not a good idea. Instead, have your child stay with a friend or arrange to have a relative join your child at the house while you're gone.

GRAMBLING, La. (KNOE 8 News) - Once a year, for the last 11 years, the University of Louisiana System has partnered with Pôle University Léonard De Vinci to select professors from each of the ULS institutions to participate in "International Week" with faculty from other countries.
Gary Poe, a business professor at Grambling State University has been selected to represent Grambling State in France, March 16-24. Poe and other professors will collaborate with professors from Canada, Europe, Russia and South America as they lecture for six hours about various topics. Poe's selected topic is "Ideas Have Social Consequences."
Each year professors from all the participating universities are encouraged to apply for the program. Each university selects and recommends one faculty member for the PULV program. PULV decides whether to approve the recommendation or request another suggestion. Poe made the cut, as he's done for each of the previous two years. President Frank G. Pogue, Provost and Vice President of Academic Affairs Connie Walton and Business College Dean Carl Wright are happy with Poe's selection and congratulated him as soon as they learned the news.
"I would like to thank the State of Louisiana, the University of Louisiana System for the opportunity to participate in this program," said Poe. "I would like to particularly thank Dr. Pogue, Dr. Walton, Dean Wright and my colleagues and students in the College of Business for their support and encouragement. I hope my participation at Pole University's International Week will bring honor to the faculty, staff and students of Grambling State University."
The "International Week" program serves as a tool to expose students to different ideas outside of their own communities. According to PULV, in Europe every college business student is exposed to international business and they leave their country to do an internship or take a job in a different country. This is called their "Erasmus year," and PULV supplements these experiences by bringing in lecturers from abroad to teach for a week.
"We are thrilled that Dr. Poe has been chosen for this special program abroad," said Wright. "It clearly shows the quality of his academic rigor, his professionalism and his stature in the academic community beyond Grambling's campus. He's a great representative of our faculty, and what students gain from professors like him in our College of Business."
During the week in France, the visiting professors serve as university ambassadors. Poe hopes to see College of Business students visit France to enrich their educational experiences.

Data Updates
Keeping you up to date on the latest data releases.
October 2014
- 01.26.2011
- New Home Sales
- New single-family homes sold at an annual rate of 329,000 units in December, representing a 17.5 percent increase over November's downwardly revised pace of 280,000 units and the strongest monthly increase since the early '90's. Despite the large gain, new home sales are still down 7.6 percent on a year-ago basis. Additionally, most of December's gain was attributable to activity in the West, as sales in other U.S. regions either increased or decreased by very small amounts. When the West is excluded, sales only increased 1.1 percent. The months' supply of new single-family homes for sale dropped from 8.4 to 6.9 months at the current sales pace in December, as the inventory of homes for sale fell another 2.6 percent to 190,000 annual units, the lowest since 1968. Months' supply has calmed down roughly to where it stood in April and is down from a record high of 12.1 months in January 2009. While December's report was a positive one, overall, the big picture remains that sales are still near record lows, leaving vast room for improvement in 2011.

Harvest Daily - June 16, 2005

Kept by His Love
Therefore He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.
Hebrews 7:25
The Bible tells us to keep ourselves in the love of God (see Jude 21). But we are also told in the same passage that God will keep us (see verse 1). Is this a contradiction? Not at all. These verses complement one another. They show us God's part and our part. We don't keep ourselves saved, but we can keep ourselves safe.
God's love is unconditional. And fortunately for us, Jesus Christ loves, preserves, and intercedes for us before the Father. But we can do things that will get us out of harmony with His love. That's why we are reminded to keep ourselves in the love of God, which means that we are to keep away from all that is unlike Him. We are to keep away from any influence that would violate God's love and bring sorrow to His heart.
We are loved by God, and He will protect His investment. For example, if you own an inexpensive pair of sunglasses, you may not be all that concerned about where they are. But if you have a more expensive pair, then you will tend to know their whereabouts. Or, if you went to
In the same way, we are preserved, we are protected, and we are being kept by the power of God. But we need to keep ourselves in a place where He can actively show His love to us. We need to keep ourselves in the love of God.

I was fortunate to meet CC's mom on Facebook, where she was my 100th fan and won a free headshot session. But rather than have photos of herself taken, Karen opted to turn her gift certificate in toward a photography session with her daughter, CC.
I was happy to give Karen and CC a much better experience, being sure to schedule our session for right after naptime so baby would be happy and refreshed. We worked for just under an hour, moving from outfit to outfit as quickly as we can. Miss CC's grandparents have great taste–they provided much of her adorable wardrobe. She was a good sport for all of the over-the-head changes that Saturday morning.
I had such a wonderful time taking Miss CC's photograph. I wish her and her family the best of luck as they move out of Colorado for her daddy's job. You sure are a sweetie! {Except for when you bite your momma's nose!]

Tim O'Reilly on Software's Paradigm Shift
Tim O'Reily looks through the other side of the prism of connectivity and commoditization in The Open Source Paradigm Shift. I characterized it as a challenge to the end-user public, to roll our own commodity networks. Tim speaks to businesspeople, enouraging them to find markets at the edges while contributing to the "Internet operating system" in the middle.
The way to get there isn't necessarily for all businesses to become commodity businesses, but for businesses to ensure that the commodities they need are produced in sufficient quantities for all. Even if the end-user benefits from this commoditization are "mere" externalities, they're benefits all the same.
I have a simple test that I use in my talks to see if my audience of computer industry professionals is thinking with the old paradigm or the new. "How many of you use Linux?" I ask. Depending on the venue, 20-80% of the audience might raise its hands. "How many of you use Google?" Every hand in the room goes up. And the light begins to dawn. Every one of them uses Google's massive complex of 100,000 Linux servers, but they were blinded to the answer by a mindset in which "the software you use" is defined as the software running on the computer in front of you. Most of the "killer apps" of the Internet, applications used by hundreds of millions of people, run on Linux or FreeBSD. But the operating system, as formerly defined, is to these applications only a component of a larger system. Their true platform is the Internet.

George, Iowa
Orvel Groen, age 95 of George, IA died Thursday, November 13, 2008 at Park View Nursing Home in Ellsworth, MN.
Funeral service will be 10:30 AM, Saturday, Nov. 15th at Bethel Reformed Church in Ellsworth, MN, with Rev. Matt Miller officiating. Burial will follow at the church cemetery.
Visitation will be Friday, Nov. 14th from 2:00 to 8:00 PM with the family present from 6:00 to 8:00 PM at the Jurrens Funeral Home of George.
Orvel Groen was born on October 16, 1913, the son of Diedrich and Aleida (Meyer) Groen in rural George, IA. He grew up on a farm near George and attended the Midland Township country school. On February 17, 1938, Orvel was united in marriage to Alice Nagel at the parsonage of Bethel Reformed church near Ellsworth, MN. Following their marriage they farmed northwest of Little Rock, IA for thirty-one years. During this time Orvel also worked at the Little Rock and Ellsworth Lockers. In 1969, Alice and Orvel moved to George, IA, where they operated the George Locker together. Orvel was a lifetime member of the Bethel Reformed Church, where he served as an Elder. In his spare time Orvel enjoyed fishing, playing cards, playing horseshoes and just spending time with his family and friends. One thing he especially enjoyed was fixing wheel chairs for Hope Haven. It was a hobby of his but he considered it his job.
Orvel is survived by five children, Alvira (John) Honken of Rushmore, MN, Delores (Delbert) Krull of George, IA, Glenda (Gary) Ten Napel of Sioux Center, IA, Janelle (Brent) Klaahsen of Rock Rapids, IA and Dick Groen (fiancé Kristi Oskar) of George, IA; thirteen grandchildren; ten great-grandchildren; three sisters, Grace Walters of Hills, MN, Ida DeBeer of Ellsworth, MN and Sadena Nagel of Little Rock, IA; two sisters-in-law, Arlene Groen of Rock Rapids, IA and Sylvia Gruis of Little Rock, IA; and numerous nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by five brothers, five sisters, one son, Charles Groen, one infant daughter and his wife Alice after fifty-nine years of marriage in 1997.

The Politics of Carbon
The 2008 elections portend federal regulation of greenhouse gases by 2010.

A weak economy could postpone passage of GHG legislation for a year, but the political winds seem likely to drive Congress to enact a cap-and-trade system that will impose moderate costs on carbon producers. It likely will have a modest cap, a low safety-valve price, and significant initial grandfathering of permits.
Such a compromise will allow proponents of GHG regulation to navigate the treacherous political waters of Washington, D.C., and also will give carbon producers time to develop new technologies to control their carbon emissions before regulation becomes more stringent and the price of carbon emissions rises.
1. The statutory incidence of the tax, that is, who pays the tax ( e.g., the producers of the carbon fuel, intermediate users, or consumers) usually depends on the costs of administering the tax. The economic incidence (who bears the costs) is more important and depends upon the price elasticity of demand and supply of carbon-based products.

Found April 24, 2013 on MLB Injury News:
PLAYERS: Chad Billingsley, Hyun-jin Ryu
TEAMS: Los Angeles Dodgers
TEAMS: Los Angeles Dodgers
Los Angeles Dodgers right-handed starting pitcher Chad Billingsley requires Tommy John surgery, which will sideline him for the remainder of the season, the team has announced. The Dodgers placed Billingsley on the disabled list over the weekend after the veteran made two starts for the club. While his ERA sat at a respectable 3.00 over 12 innings of work, he continued to be hampered by elbow issues which caused Los Angeles to shut him down. Billingsley was diagnosed with a partial tear of his ulnar collateral ligament in August. He could have elected to undergo Tommy John at the time, but he instead went the route of platelet-rich plasma injections and rehab. Sometimes this works and sometimes it doesn't. Unfortunately for Billingsley and the Dodgers, this time it didn't. The Dodgers entered the season with more pitchers than they knew what to do with, but the rotation and depth have been decimated by injuries. Los Angeles entered the spring with Billingsley, Zack Greinke, Clayton Kershaw, Hyun-Jin Ryu, Josh Beckett, Chris Capuano, Aaron Harang and Ted Lilly. Injuries have since removed Greinke, Capuano and Billingsley from the picture, while Harang was traded. At this point, the Dodgers will proceed with a rotation consisting of Kershaw, Lilly, Ryu, Beckett and Stephen Fife. Follow @mlbinjurynews Looking for fantasy baseball advice?

Those of you who have been following this blog may be aware that I have a thing for chocolate. I've been making raw chocolate a long time, using natural sweeteners such as agave, but recently I've really been tightening everything up and didn't want to use anything other than dried fruit. I had a look around and found a recipe at My New Roots which inspired this chocolate recipe of mine – especially the way she wraps them like a chocolate bar – so cute!! Below is a picture of how my amended recipe turned out – really very yummy I must say.
85g cacao butter
85g coconut oil
1/2 tsp himalayan crystal salt
1 tsp maca powder (optional, for serving)
Depending on how good (or not) your food processor is, you may need to chop the dates first. Then pulse in the processor until they form a kind of paste. If you are particular about your chocolate being raw, slowly melt the cacao butter and coconut oil in a double burner until just melted. If not – they can be heated in a pan quite quickly. Add all remaining ingredients except maca to food processor, then process until smooth.
To set: either pour into a mould (an ice cube tray works well) and set in the refridgerator.
Or – get a rectangle of baking paper, and once the mixture has cooled a little and is no longer runny, put a large dollop into the middle. Wrap the baking paper around and over and push down to form the chocolate into a bar shape. Fold the edges in, press the chocolate into the corners and then wrap with twine or ribbon. Pop them in the fridge – these make a great present!
Then to serve, slice if desired and sift a little maca over the top.
Enjoy – x.

First frequent flier program for Aviaxess air charter
French executive charter operator and broker Aviaxess has launched what it claims to be the first frequent-flier loyalty program in the business aviation market. It is promoting the new Aviacard here at the EBACE show at the exhibit of Helicoptere Magazine (Booth No. 586) Aviacard is intended to provide incentives for occasional users of business aircraft to become more frequent charter clients. After logging specified numbers of flight hours, customers earn rewards such as complimentary hotel accommodations, invitations to movie previews, valet services and Breitling watches.
The credited hours do not expire, unlike many airline frequent-flier programs. Aviaxess will be adding to its list of partner companies and so expanding the choice of rewards available to Aviacard holders.
The flight hours can be earned either by chartering Aviaxess's own fleet of helicopters or by booking fixed-wing charters through Aviaxess's brokering division. Since 2003, the Paris-based company has been an official sales representative for Bombardier's Skyjet International block charter program and bookings for these services now earn Aviacard credits.
Last year, Aviaxess introduced its own Corporate Helicard to provide discounted block charter rates for helicopter flights. The service is targeted especially at clients wanting rotorcraft connections to and from fixed-wing charters or airline services. Helicopter charter time is sold in blocks of 25, 50 or 100 hours at fixed rates that apply anywhere in Europe. Prices for the blocks start at around $34 million.
Aviaxess has recently taken delivery of three new helicopters–two Eurocopter Ecureuil AS 350 BA/B2s and a Robinson R44 Raven 2. A total of 13 rotorcraft are now in its fleet, which also includes EC 120Bs, AS 355s, EC 135s, AS 365Ns and Agusta A109s.
"With these new helicopters, we will be able to expand our offer on the French market and to give an increased fleet availability to our private and professional customers," said Frédéric Aguettant, Aviaxess president and CEO. Through its alliance with operators initiated in 2002, Aviaxess has access to a fleet of 38 helicopters based throughout Europe.
In France, Aviaxess is based at airports and helipads close to business centers, such as the Paris-area Issy-les-Moulineaux and La Défense and Toulon (offering a gateway to the French Riviera resorts).

Hi there,
Very useful info.
I suppose you could also apply a similar command to a few products, or a category, or products from one producer only.
It would be great if someone could point out how it would be done..
many thanks
2014-01-13 11:25 am
Hello marcelezaaa,
Thank you for your question. It appears that by default, osCommerce does not have the ability to add attributes to all products in a category or for a single producer all at once. There may be an addon that can handle that funtion, however I did not see one during my initial search.
Kindest Regards,

Hello sir,
i need to set attribute type required property. Which must be selected by user. What option or which customization is do for that?
2014-06-23 6:48 am
Hello Santosh,
Are you asking how to require an attribute? such as the size of an item?
Kindest Regards,
Scott M
2014-06-23 7:04 am
Exactly sir, in my product detail page i have a product type that is pdf or doc file. So user must select any one type to download eBook.
Thanks for fast reply.
2014-06-23 12:19 pm
Hello Santosh,
According to the osCommerce forums, the software will take the first attribute as the default. So if you have pdf as the first attribute, the customer will receive that unless they specifically check the doc file attribute option.
Kindest Regards,
Scott M
2014-06-23 12:22 pm
Hello Santosh,
Apologies for the extra comment, but there is an addon that can also help with product options.

The Harlem Renaissance -- originally named the New Negro Movement -- spanned the 1920s and 30s and represented a budding of black intellectualism and culture that has intensely impacted African American identity in the years since and helped lay the groundwork for future generations from the Civil Rights movement to the Black Arts movement.
If the political spectrum of the time were painted in gradients, then it would run white at Booker T. Washington, grey for W.E.B Dubois, and black for Marcus Garvey. Though all three strived for equality between the races, their methodologies ranged from the reserved to the extreme. Washington, one of the most recognized intellectuals from the movement, was the least confrontational. A teacher and former slave, Washington believed that the road to equality was as simple as accommodating discrimination for now, and focusing on elevating the black race via self-help. By seeking an education, being industrious, and prospering in society, he reasoned that African Americans would eventually prove themselves worthy of acceptance and assimilation into white society [source: PBS].
Though Washington's accommodating attitude landed him a trip to the White House (and a lot of white support), many of his contemporaries viewed his ideas as ineffective and naive. Among these contenders was W.E.B. Dubois, a Harvard educated political activist who respected Washington as a person, but differed greatly in his proposed approach. Instead, Dubois supported an aggressive political fight for equal rights. His work included organizing an open discussion between black and white civil rights workers, which ultimately resulted in the creation of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People [source: Biography.com]. As Dubois has said in a retrospective interview with The Atlantic:
"I never thought Washington was a bad man. I believed him to be sincere, though wrong … As I came to see it, Washington bartered away much that was not his to barter. Certainly I did not believe that the skills of an artisan bricklayer, plasterer, or shoemaker, and the good farmer would cause the white South, grimly busy with disfranchisement and separation, to change the direction of things." [Source: McGill].
If Dubois was skeptical of Washington's approach, however, then Marcus Garvey was in absolute opposition. Garvey, a Jamaican born journalist and gifted orator, supported a complete separation from non-black culture. His Pan-Africanism or "back to Africa" movement aimed to bring African-American culture back to its geographic roots, empowering many to reject collaboration of any sort [source: Hill]. His philosophy helped spur a range of cultural movements from the Nation of Islam to the Rastafari movement. (The latter actually cites him as their prophet [source: Martin].)
These three figures only represent the most wide-sweeping political figures of the Harlem Renaissance. Artists, musicians and writers were all having parallel breakthroughs, resulting in some of our most treasured art and literature. From poet Langston Hughes to the ineffable singer, Ella Fitzgerald, to author Ralph Ellison … all these cultural giants were influenced by the tenor of the time, helping mold a black identity in America that still holds up in modern day.
The Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and his wife, Coretta Scott King, pose with their daughter Yolanda at home in Montgomery, Ala., in 1956. King was a champion of the civil rights movement, and his wife, a trained singer, supported his activism. (Michael Ochs Archives/Getty Images)

text: If it's Thursday, there must be another Donald Sterling headline. Does anything this man does surprise you any more? The latest are audio recordings, voice mail messages, in which he uses profanity and berates and threatens the two psychiatrists who reportedly examined him and found him ''mentally incompetent'', paving the way for the other Sterling, Shelly, to cut out Donald from being an executor of the family trust. That means she can close the deal to sell the Clips to Steve Ballmer for a tidy 2 billion without Donnie's OK. Not surprisingly, he doesn't agree with the experts assessment of his mental state, and let them know it. So today, lawyers for the charming Sterling couple, each has a set of their own ( it's a shame they don't take all that money they're spending on lawyers and donate it to charity) were back in court in downtown Los Angeles, Pierce O'Donnell, her lawyer, who says Donald threatened to ''take him out'' and '' it wasn't to Spago'', asked a judge for a protective order barring Donald from trying to intimidate lawyers and witnesses. The judge didn't issue the order, but did recognize the emotional volatility of these proceedings and told both sides to ''tone it down a bit''. I could've told 'em that, and I 'm not a judge. Meantime, Donald's still pursuing his one billion dollar suit against the NBA, we're all waiting to hear what , if any, ''dirt'' his investigators have dug up on other owners, and a July 7th date is set for a judge to hear from both sides on this mental competency issue. Donald Sterling. The gift (to the news biz) that keeps on giving. Insert groan here.

- a best-available evidence approach to the management of important clinical problems in a range of sub-specialty paediatric medicine
- an understanding of new and emerging clinical problems in paediatric medicine.
Further information
The program is offered in the form of online distance education via a website that provides the interactive platform for both the clinical scenarios and the facilitated discussion forums.
Assessment is by performance and participation in discussion forums and by written assignment.
All six-credit-point units of study offered by the Sydney Medical School are suitable for elective units. Approved elective units of study are listed below. Other units of study, including those offered by other faculties, require the approval of both the paediatric medicine course coordinator and the coordinator of the units of study.
Students are encouraged to undertake PUBH5010 Epidemiology Methods and Uses or equivalent in order to be best equipped to undertake evidence-based learning activities in the paediatric units of study.

Peaches Geldof's sober 'struggle'
Peaches Geldof's friend Jonny Makeup has paid an emotional tribute to the late star, in which he also said she ''struggled'' to stay off drugs.
Peaches Geldof ''struggled'' to stay off drugs, a friend has claimed.
Jonny Makeup has paid an emotional tribute to his ''courageous'' late pal - who was found dead at the home she shared with husband Thomas Cohen and their sons Astala, 23 months, and Phaedra, 11 months, on Monday (07.04.14) - but also admitted she was battling some problems.
Jonny - whose real name is Jon Henry Szymanski - told The Sun newspaper: ''Losing a friend -- forever -- is one of the worst things that can happen.
''Being a recovering addict myself, I know she struggled to be and stay clean -- like all of us with addictions do. I don't know if this had anything to do with her death. But I just hope she was at peace.
''My life changed when I met Peaches. I've always thought of myself as courageous and spontaneous but in Peaches I found the most fearless and uninhibited person I have ever met.
She is also the smartest person I ever met, sometimes too smart!
''I can say with the most certainty that her everlasting love for the underdogs and outcasts of the world is what bonded us so close.''
Yesterday (09.04.14) it was announced a post-mortem examination on the 25-year-old star's body was ''inconclusive'' and it could take weeks for toxicology results to help establish the cause of death. Police are still searching Peaches' home for evidence, but no drugs or suicide note have been found and her death is not being treated as suspicious.
Meanwhile, a previous unpublished interview with the blonde star has revealed doctors warned her she needed to overhaul her diet as she was at risk of health problems.
Speaking in 2011, Peaches said: ''I had cholesterol and the doctors said stop eating s**t. So I did. If you stop eating pizza and chips you then don't look like you used to.
''I used to eat s**t every single day. I used to wake up with my boyfriend and eat crap. I had the heart of a 90-year-old gangster.''
