BTW Gordon - I agree with everything you said about Obama and I'm about the same age as you. My response was based on some of the properties I've seen in OK. whilst touring a couple of the lakes. My link was based on a 20 second search for 'waterfront properties'. Obviously I have no connection to the owner or seller of the one I linked - just a quick example to prove the point that a lot of unassuming places have beautiful, unexpected 'mansions'.

what to buy
The Air-O-Swiss Ultrasonic 7144 humidifier is hailed by reviewers for its near-silent performance, excellent moisture output and ability to maintain a steady humidity level. With a large water tank (1.5 gallons), this humidifier can produce 3.5 gallons of moisture per day, more than a gallon more than most other tabletop models. This humidifier can produce warm or cold mist, which can help keep a room toasty in the winter and drop the temperature in a space during warmer weather. It gets high marks for its sleek design, easy-to-read display and excellent moisture output. Some owners complain that the tank is difficult to refill and that the humidistat is inaccurate.
Simple, thoughtful design and user-friendly features: The Air-O-Swiss 7144 humidifier is praised by professionals and consumers alike for its sleek design. The large LCD display is easy to use and see, and a timer allows users to set the moisture output from one to eight hours. This model also includes a hygrostat and output regulator, which consumers say maintain the perfect humidity level in any space. Another bonus? The tank can be filled from the bottom, making it mess-free to fill and clean. It is transparent so users can easily know when the tank needs refilling.
Excellent moisture output and easy to control: The Air-O-Swiss Ultrasonic 7144 is nearly double the cost of typical tabletop model, but reviewers say its solid construction and reliable output make the expense worth it. According to the manufacturer, the Air-O-Swiss 7144 has a 1.5-gallon tank and produces enough humidity for a room of up to 650 square feet, although some user reviews say this is exaggerated. The machine also features a digital humidistat to measure the humidity level in the room, but some reviewers doubt the accuracy of the feature.
Relatively quiet: While the Air-O-Swiss Ultrasonic 7144 is by no means silent, users say it is notably quieter than comparable models. We read few complaints about noise in general.
Sleek and nearly silent, but not easy to fill: User reviews we read for this model were somewhat mixed. Most users like the Air-O-Swiss 7144's quiet operation, adjustable humidity and sleek design, but several say that the tank is difficult to refill. Like other ultrasonic humidifiers, this one may leave white residue on furniture from minerals dissolved in the water; some users recommend using filtered or distilled water to prevent this problem. This model requires a new Air-O-Swiss Hydro Stick (*Est. $30) each year to control microbial growth, along with fresh demineralization cartridges (*Est. $15) every two to three months.

Review Credibility: Very Good Reviewer Michael Lasky gives the Air-O-Swiss 7144 a score of 8 out of 10 in this review. He says the Air-O-Swiss can raise a room's humidity from 39 to 50 percent in less than half an hour (though the size of the room isn't mentioned). Overall, Lasky says it works very well and is "extremely quiet," but refilling the tank "can be messy."

Review Credibility: Very Good This site has an expert review from Mercia Tapping, president of AllergyBuyersClub.com, and about 20 reviews contributed by visitors to the site. According to the reviewer, the Air-O-Swiss 7144 is almost silent, easy to use and effective, but the digital display tends to fluctuate.

3. Good Housekeeping
Review Credibility: Very Good The Good Housekeeping Research Institute tests 21 humidifiers, including the Air-O-Swiss 7144, which editors describe as a "splurge-worthy pick." However, the discussion of this model lacks substance, and there's little information detailing how the humidifier was tested. Unfortunately, this review is several years old.

Review Credibility: Good About 60 users weigh in on the Air-O-Swiss 7144 at Amazon.com, where it receives an average rating of 3.5 stars (out of 5) from more than 90 users. Most like its quiet operation, attractive design and adjustable humidity level. However, some find the water tank hard to fill, the demineralization cartridge ineffective at controlling white dust and the machine unable to humidify a 650-square-foot space.

"The Shop" is a Winner - Cozy - Great Views!
This little cottage is remarkable. Comfortable and cozy with incredible views. The deck is large and has a wonderful awning - a great place to relax and watch the most amazing boats go by. The inside is very clean and tidy and there wasn't anything - from lobster plates to coffee filters or any cooking utensil you can think of that wasn't there! "The Shop" is very close (only a couple of blocks) from the center of Camden and you can walk anywhere. The restaurants in town are very good and so is the shopping. My husband and I have stayed at "The Shop" for two years and will be back again next year to enjoy three blissful weeks. The owners are great people and they provide easy access and very good service. We highly recommend this rental to anyone who is going to Camden, Maine.
Beautiful little house
This house was a great find! Set back from the road and nestled in woods, it is very secluded while only 4 miles or so from the Lincolnville beach on Penobscot Bay. Everything was extremely well-finished, clean, and worked well. The kitchen/great room was well stocked with more than the basics; spices, teas, coffee, lobster-eating necessities, books, pillows, park passes, etc. The owner was available via cellphone when I had a question. Hummingbirds came to the window boxes. All our meals in town and in Camden were excellent. I would definitely recommend this home to anyone.
A charming cottage with a great in-town location
We spend at least one week in Camden every year and have rented many different homes of varying sizes and locations. Baily's Cottage afforded us a very neat and clean in-town cottage only a short stroll to downtown Camden and the harbor. The owners were very easy to work with and live close by to ensure everything was to our liking. The back deck and yard is lovely.

Billy Reid, Spring 2011
Congratulations to Billy Reid! The much deserving winner of this year's CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund award is the leader of country-meets-urban cool. I was lucky enough to attend his Fall 2010 presentation at Milk Studios last year and I immediately fell in love with all of his offerings. The perfect mix of southern charm and Brooklyn cool, Billy Reid is a major designer to watch, and I can't wait to see what he'll do next.
An additional congratulations to runners-up Prabal Gurung and Eddie Borgo, as well as all the other designers nominated this year. It was such a fantastically talented group and everyone involved was deserving of the attention! Check out Vogue.com for some really cool behind-the-scenes videos of the competition, and keep a lookout for these amazing young designers in the future.

Originally posted on the Wrestling Observer board, now reposted on reddit, this list contains (almost) all the matches Dave gave five stars, and links to watch (where available). Agree or disagree with much of Meltzer's opinions, there's no doubting that this is as comprehensive a "must see" list of matches as you'll ever find. WWE, WCW, ROH, NWA, All Japan, New Japan, AAA, anywhere else you'd care to mention. From Ric Flair's I Quit match with Terry Funk, to John Cena vs. CM Punk in Chicago and many, many more. This list has the matches that defined careers like Bret Hart, Mitsuhara Misawa, Eddie Guerrero and so many others. Videos are on youtube, daily motion and vimeo. Well worth bookmarking this list, and taking a look whenever your bored!

The Land Transport Authority (LTA) of Singapore has been using its highly sophisticated and integrated Intelligent Transport System to collect, process and disseminate real-time data, said Chang Mook Choong, Deputy Director of Intelligent Transport Systems Development Division at the Cities and Big Data Summit.
Speaking to over 100 city administrators, Chang described how LTA has harnessed technology to optimise the use and efficiency of the country's transportation infrastructure, improved safety and enhanced the travelling experience of commuters.
"LTA's three key strategies are to provide innovative mobility solutions, establish collaborative partnership, as well as develop and adopt technology standards," he said.
The Agency collects data from several sources, including road sensors, Expressway Monitoring and Advisory System (EMAS), Green Link Determining System also known as GLIDE which controls over 2000 traffic lights to enhance drivers' experience, Junction Electronic Eyes, TrafficScan which uses GPS technology on 9500 taxis to monitor road condition, Parking Guidance System, and finally data crowdsourced from the public.
"We started out with several systems, each collecting and processing data separately. However, in order to make sense of all data, we have now integrated all into the unified 'i-Transport Platform'," Chang said.
"Using a single interface, our operators can now make sense of different sources of data. The platform fuses raw traffic data so that it can be converted into meaningful traffic information," he added.
Once data has been processed into information that is relevant and useful, LTA disseminates this information via electronic signboards on the roads, web portals, its Twitter account, radio, and mobile applications.
"Data is also made available to the industry to encourage collaboration. Companies have used the data for navigation devices and to create new innovative applications," concluded Chang.

Forget Gold and Oil; Look at Platinum and Palladium
By Joshua Bondy - May 31, 2013 | Tickers: PALL, PPLT, PAL, GLD
Platinum and Palladium don't get the same fanfare as oil or gold, but they are important commodities in the modern economy. They are both critical parts of autocatalytic converters and their demand is expected to increase due to growing auto sales. China's recent decision to consider banning dirty coal imports is a sign that the nation is heading down a more environmentally friendly path. This makes it very more »
You Should Be Long Platinum
By Federico Zaldua - March 22, 2013 | Tickers: AGPPY.PK, PPLT, GLD
If you are a frequent reader of my blog, you may already know I am not a commodity trader. I think of investing as the action of buying assets that can be valued through their cash flow generation capabilities. Commodities such as gold that owe their price to their use as a safe heaven - in my opinion - do not constitute investments. Of course you can make money through gold or more »
Got Silver?
By Paul Franke - December 6, 2012 | Tickers: PALL, PPLT, SLV, GDX, GLD
Our best hedge investment idea currently is direct precious metals ownership, especially holding iShares Silver Trust (NYSEMKT: SLV) in stock brokerage accounts. With both investment and industrial demand pushing silver higher in coming years, this uniquely situated metal is in terrific position to benefit from the economic future we foresee.
Metal ETF Battle Royal
By Nihar Patel - October 5, 2012 | Tickers: PALL, PPLT, JJC, SLV, GLD
Commodities should be a part of every portfolio, but trading commodities is a can of worms. It is hard enough to keep track of the stock market, and jumping into commodities would be a needless headache. Thankfully there are ETFs that allow you to take a position in commodities.

Shiny Profits Await Investors in Platinum
By Tony Daltorio - September 17, 2012 | Tickers: AGPPY.PK, PTM, PPLT, GFI, PGM, EZA
It doesn't happen all the time, but sometimes it's easy for investors to make money just by scanning the international headlines. In South Africa last month, labor unrest in the country's mining sector came to the fore as a strike at a platinum mine became violent, resulting in the death of 44 people.
The country's labor unions have become more and more strident in their protests more »
Three ETFs that Hold Physical Metals
By Jeff Stouffer - September 7, 2012 | Tickers: SGOL, PPLT, SIVR
The frenzied demand for precious metals has fueled the financial engineers to develop new and competitive ways to be a conduit and deliver access to this marketplace. One of the recent developments meeting this demand was the creation of trusts that hold the physical metal and issue shares against the holdings.
This style of trust brought to life a new type of ETF that only tracked the value of the more »
South Africa and Platinum
By Tony Daltorio - February 13, 2012 | Tickers: PPLT, EZA, SZR
Compared to its famous relatives, gold and silver, platinum is often a forgotten precious metal. But that does not mean investors digging for profits in the market should forget about it.
Money can be made quickly as evidenced several weeks ago when the price of platinum rose above $1,500 a troy ounce for the first time in a month and has since continued on to trade comfortably above $1 more »
5 Best Precious Metals ETFs For Gold, Silver And Platinum Newbies

Precious metals are among the most popular investment avenue lately but most investors shy away either due to large investment amounts or difficulty (aka security issues) in holding on to the physical commodity. This is another place where ETFs come to the rescue! Easy to buy and sell, and also to hold. For investors interested in owning precious metals, here's are 5 of the best choices if you're more »

Someone mentioned the improved civility on the blog, in part because I am moderating and banning now with greater alacrity, and, in part, because we haven't had many hot button issues that bring out the worst in posters.
Well, here comes one.
The Obama administration will stop deporting and begin granting work permits to younger illegal immigrants who came to the U.S. as children and have since led law-abiding lives. The election-year initiative addresses a top priority of an influential Latino electorate that has been vocal in its opposition to administration deportation policies.
The policy change, announced Friday by Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, will affect as many as 800,000 immigrants who have lived in fear of deportation. It bypasses Congress and partially achieves the goals of the so-called DREAM Act, a long-sought but never enacted plan to establish a path toward citizenship for young people who came to the United States illegally but who have attended college or served in the military.
Here is one of the first reactions out of the gate from an education organization on the President's action:
American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten:
"All children deserve access to a quality public education and a fair shot at realizing their dreams. President Obama has given hope to young people who have demonstrated good citizenship by pursuing college or protecting our nation. The nearly 1 million youths affected by this decision have done everything our society has asked them to do. They have worked hard, studied hard, and are pursuing college educations. These young immigrants are our students, and they deserve a chance to become productive members of our society without living with constant fear and uncertainty.
"It is certainly appropriate that the president's action comes on the 30th anniversary of the historic Plyler v. Doe decision, in which the U.S. Supreme Court ruled it was against the law to deny children access to public education, regardless of their citizenship or that of their parents. Now more than ever, Congress needs to pass the DREAM Act and give hardworking students a path toward legal permanent status and, eventually, citizenship. Maintaining barriers to their success does nothing to benefit our economy, our national security or our collective well-being."
And from the Georgia House Democrats:
"The United States is a nation of immigrants, and the youngest members of our society deserve understanding and compassion. These are young people educated in our schools or serving in our military," said House Minority Leader Stacey Abrams. "Deporting hardworking, responsible and law-abiding young people is unjust; and I am pleased to see that the Obama administration has eased deportation rules that benefit no one."
"Creating a path to citizenship for undocumented students should be priority of this nation, and this is a critical first step," said Rep. Pedro Marin. "This new policy will affect as many as 800,00 immigrants who have lived the past years in fear of deportation. I cheer President Obama for his decision to halt deportations of young undocumented immigrants."

Smart political move, and a smarter educational move. Good incentive for our illegal students to remain in school, graduate, and become productive individuals in our society.

By in effect granting amnesty to young illegals, Pres. Obama is also granting it to their families, of course. Parents, grandparents and siblings will all be allowed to stay.
And to legally work. If more of the jobs they will now legally steal from unemployed citizens and legal immigrants were TEACHING jobs, in fact, the predictably pro-union voices above and below would no doubt be singing a quite different tune.
But then again—so would Pres. Obama himself.

@EduKtr, Reagan granted amnesty to illegal immigrants in the 80s. 30 years later, I have yet to see any teaching jobs being "stolen" from the children and families of that generation.
In fact, before the cuts in educationm, several years ago the U.S. resorted to recruiting and obtaining work visas for educators from other countries.

Its deeply offensive that he is bypassing Congress. I can't recall any other president trying so many times to do things by fiat. Basically, he is refusing to enforce existing law.
I think he just fired up a bunch of non-voters in his favor and a bunch of voters against him.

Disappointing political year pandering. The president did the right thing in sponsoring legislation supporting this very position, but that was debated and defeated by the people's representatives. Waving a scepter and making it so, regardless of such representatives, is royal rather than presidential, and is motivated purely by political self-interest. It argues of desperation on the part of the president, and shows a discouraging inability to persuade effectively.
June 15th, 2012

@NTLB: With so many teaching jobs cut, we'll see how people react to illegals hired in front of unemployed teachers when hiring resumes one day.
The DREAM Act failed in Congress because of its broad unpopularity and the fact that military veterans already have the option to apply for citizenship.
As for ruling by decree … Pres. Obama himself seemed to rule it out in this 2011 interview: http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2012/jun/15/obama-grants-legal-status-young-illegal-immigrants/?page=2

Bravo, Maureen, for taking a sharper axe to the posts. Dear friend Bracey would highly approve.
My favorite anecdote is of the brilliant "illegal" immigrant who recently graduated from a Gwinnett high school, brought here when she was three. After having lived and worked here AND PAID TAXES for fifteen+ years, her parents were actually jailed in California awaiting deportation as she here in hiding awaited news on her college applications. She received offers of full scholarships from both Emory and Harvard. Blessedly, she and her parents avoided deportation and, to no surprise at all, she chose to live in Massachusetts rather than Georgia. Our loss. And no, she's not Hispanic or Pacific Asian.
June 15th, 2012
2:04 pm
Really? In an election year? I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
OK, while I feel for these young people, if they get to stay we need to send every last one of their illegal families back to their homeland!!! At the very least, confirm that no one in their immediate family is receiving ANY type of government assistance. Bypassing the normal road to a legal work permit is a HUGE enough gift from the USA.
June 15th, 2012
2:10 pm
The president did the right thing in sponsoring legislation supporting this very position, but that was debated and defeated by the people's representatives.
The problem is….the people's representatives have never gotten around to offering an alternative solution of any kind, besides "NO EYE-LEGALS!!!!" There are millions of people here illegally. We can't deport them all unless Congress appropriates and directs hundreds of billions of dollars to that end, so the Executive branch has to pick and choose who we deport.
That's reality, and the people enforcing the law must function in reality, not rhetoric.

While this won't change things for most of my ESOL kids (because they are American citizens) for some it will be wonderful. I think of two sisters who have graduated high school with top honors and gone to a private college in Georgia, graduated with top honors, and cannot teach because they are not legally allowed to work. They came here when one was in 7th and the other in 3rd grade. They will be excellent in the classroom!
Also, with this as a possibility, I am hoping more of my Latinas avoid pregnancy in their mid teens and graduate from high school, since they will have the opportunity of something more than having some older man support them.
Like I say, only about 10% of the ESOL kids I work with were not born here, but perhaps this will give them something to encourage their schooling.

@Aquagirl: The number of illegals has dropped by 1-2 million in recent years because of broader application of the E-Verify program and a shrinking job market.
There is therefore no need to round them up and physically deport them.
Without jobs here, Mexico's booming economy will continue to look better and better to even more of them.
June 15th, 2012
2:23 pm
@ Eduktr: Exactly what types of jobs are you talking about? They are many low level, poorly paid jobs that are only being filled by illegal/legal immigrants in this country. I don't see many unemployed teachers or college graduates waiting in line to fill out those applications.
Whether there is a hidden agenda or not behind this political move, it does have its educational and economical benefits. You are talking about 800,000 individuals who will be able to work, pay taxes, and contribute their talents to our society, just like the student Jerry Eads wrote about in his post.

Election year hispandering to ILLEGAL alien INVADERS. I would expect no less from the current bag of hot air residing in the White House.
@Aquagirl, sorry, but there IS an alternative. They can get in line, fill out the paperwork, and be WELCOMED into this soveriegn nation just as tens of thousands of other LEGAL immigrants do every year.

We already have a surplus of low IQ citizens, there is no compelling need to add to the queue. Average Hispanic IQ is a little above black IQ, but both are approximately one standard deviation unit below average white IQ. As long as we deny that IQ matters, we will not solve our problems. IQ appropriate education is all I am calling for, people of any IQ can have a happy, productive life within the bounds of our expectations of them. Expecting a person with an IQ of 85 to teach children in public schools and have a positive outcome for either the children or the teacher is not reasonable. IQ test teachers, you cannot rely on the State controlled credentialing system to screen for low IQ.

Thank you, Lee, for pointing out that our country has (and has had) laws and procedures in place for doing this the correct and legal way, which the parents of these children chose to blatantly ignore. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, so I am skeptical.
Why do some of you posters think it is OK to break immigration laws, but you probably don't think it's OK to cheat on your taxes, drive excessively fast down your street, or hurt a child? Why? Because there are laws against these offenses just like there are laws against ILLEGAL immigration for a reason – our national security and future. We have a great nation that we need to protect and control its growth rate. That is precisely why our government spent the time to develop the current immigration policies and procedures.
June 15th, 2012
2:41 pm
@Solutions—illegal immigrants are not only comprised of Hispanics. They do include Asians, Candadians, Caribbeans, Canadians, and South Americans (including Brazilians). Do you have any statistics on the IQs of these groups?
June 15th, 2012
2:43 pm
They can get in line, fill out the paperwork, and be WELCOMED into this soveriegn(sic) nation
Everyone could drive the speed limit too, but that ain't happening. Somehow our Republic still endures.
And if people don't get in line for the immigration process…we'll do what? Deport them? This is what paralyzes Congress. People are angry and frustrated and anyone who dares point out the obvious…that millions of illegals will not self-deport…is promptly un-elected. Then nothing gets done.
Again…the people in charge of deportation must choose how to use their limited resources. If you have a better idea besides hollering "illegals go home!!!" then please share because that's not working. (Unless your goal is venting, in which case you've fully achieved your objective.)

East Asians have an average IQ approximately one standard deviation unit above the average white IQ, with the the higher scores located in the spacial-mathematical area. Jewish people also have an IQ approximately one standard deviation unit above the white average, with their higher scores located in the verbal area. This difference fascinated me as I see a link to their written native languages. In East Asia, the local alphabets are large and character based, with slight changes in the characters producing different words, hence the superior processing of shapes and mathematics. Hebrew is a language that is read from right to left, as opposed to our reading standard of left to right. IQ tests require the unscrambling of words, so left to right reading practice would help on that test. Brain development in childhood for the two groups would be different, and offers clues on possible ways to increase IQ in infants and children. I will have to look for data on Canadians and others, I don't have it at my fingertips.

Thank you President Obama for having the sense and foresight to see that we, the citicens of the U.S., have legally been educating non-documented students for years.Note: I stated "legally." We have been transporting them to and fro school, offering nutrition and many other benefits from K-12. It only makes sense that we now use these sudents to benefit society as well as the families of these students. It has been ludicrous to spend all of those billions of dollars only to tell students at the age of 18 that they must return to their place of birth whether it be Mexico, Canada, Dominican Republic, Barzil, China, India or wherever. Thank you My President.

Shar, Lee… Both correct. We need to secure our borders and then work on immigration policy. Though, I think what he did is probably the right thing to do…..it is not his job to rule when congress does not act.

June 15th, 2012
4:12 pm
Farns points out a valid issue…so many concepts in (what one might call) modern contemporary society have undergone 'social revision" so much so that we no longer recognize good from bad; right from wrong…we don't know if we're coming or going. So what else; what other traditional laws, by which this great Country has grown, should we 'adjust" in the name of political correctness? Already, we see generations which, somehow, feel immune/not bound by the rules of social deportment; why stop here? Let's just give away the store (if we already haven't) in terms of native born citizens' rights and freedoms.
Many years ago, there was an institution by the name of Ellis Island, by which the process of immigration was conducted systematically and…LEGALLY. Now that legal processes have become too onerous; too inconvenient for all concerned, let's just forget all the rules and do as we all damn please. Sooner or later, it will all become legal anyway, so why even bother with the rules? Our leadership certainly doesn't.

@Solutions, Most of the "white" group here in America you refer to are a mixture of many ethnicities. I am German, Scotch Irish, British, Cherokee and who knows what else. African Americans are certainly a mixed group, Jews are becoming more so and Asians might be still a more homogeneous group. I do not see the value in comparing group IQ scores when the groups overlap to such an extent. Assessing an individual child might be helpful for his parents and teachers, but as I stated in a previous comment, I think motivation and character are more important than just IQ. I find this discussion offensive and a throwback to WWII Germany.

There are always two side to this story; my 17 years old blue eyed blonde hair, part Native American Daughter whose white ancesters have been in this country since 1622, has found it next to impossible to find a summer job this year. Perhaps she made the big mistake of choosing to take French the language of Foriegn Relations instead of Spanish. So she is not the Bi-lingual desired these days. She is one of the top students in her class.
On the other hand it will encourage my 18 year old maid, who had a baby at 16 to go back to school in the fall. I have been trying to mentor her, for several months about going back to school. Her sister who is 16 and a US citizen also had a baby at 16. I have told MC for the last several months that she can go back to High School, and that she has until she is 20, to complete her dipolma. I have also told her that unless she graduates from high school she will not be eligible for the Dream act. She has even told me, she wants to be a midwife. Think of all the money that our health care system can save by having this 18 year old bilingual hispanic girl, finish her education and become a midwife. Lots of money will be saved on more expensive emergency room visits, and births due to lack of prenatal care. Why should she be a maid. Why should her US Citizen son, be stuck on Peachcare.

Thank you, Maureen, for your moderation work. It must be tedious. It has, however, significantly raised the level of discussion here.
I support the securing our borders. However, granting a path to citizenship to young people who have "done the right things" while here seems the only practical course of action. Dealing ultra-harshly with those who have behaved criminally also seems to be a necessity.

@ Solutions, I have two daughter's one is 1/2 Jewish and doesn't know how to read Hebrew, maybe can recite the Sabbat prayer. She is raised Catholic, since Jewish faith only goes through the mother. My other daughter is British, Irish, and Cherokee. They both have IQ's that are about the same. Since they both score above the 90% on the IOWA tests. The one that is 1/2 Jewish did get in the 99% in Math in 1st grade.
Neither one of their father's finished college or is ambitious. Maybe, the difference is their German, Scottish, Irish mother has a M.S. in Engineering Degree., I have an Aunt who is a nun with a Doctorate in Biology, Cousins with M.D.'d Phd in Chemistry, a Wall Street Banker, and several of us are Designers and Builders.

The data on East Asians comes from IQ tests given in Hong Kong to Chinese in the Chinese language spoken in that city, in Korea in the Korean language, and in Japan in the Japanese language. The information has been confirmed by IQ tests given to people of each Nationality born, raised and educated in America, it is very consistent. The data on Jews comes from testing of Ashkenazi jews from Eastern Europe. Here in America, IQ tests are given in English, our native language. In Mexico, I am sure the tests are given in Spanish.

It is reported that between 40 and 80% of IQ is genetic, it is the remaining 20 to 60% that is environmental that we hope to be able to manipulate to fully exploit the genetic potential. Pretending IQ does not matter is a mistake, hence we have to consider both the genetic and the environmental aspects. When I use the term IQ, I am referring to general intelligence, the so called g term used in the literature.

Are we surprised by this action on illegals???

If they are not on the registar when checked they will be deported.Pay back what they have used illegal over the years. After the child reaches 18,they must file for U.S. citizenship within 6 months.This process must be completed by Homeland Security.

While we're on controversial subjects, how about the white student who won a scholarship and was pressured into returning it because it was "only for african american" students. The returned scholarship was subsequently given to a black student.
Imagine the uproar if the races were reversed. Hell, imagine the uproar if ANY group tried to award a "whites only" anything.
I'll be waiting to see if Obummer sics his Justice Department on this clearly discriminatory group.
And waiting…..
And waiting…..
And waiting…..

State's Hispanic Population Jumps Nearly 50%
479,000 Latinos in CT
Advocates for Latinos will gather in Hartford on Wednesday to talk with lawmakers about issues affecting the state's Hispanic community. As WNPR's Diane Orson reports, 2010 census figures show a big jump in Connecticut's Latino population.
The number of Hispanics in Connecticut increased nearly 50% in the last decade. State Representative Andres Ayala:
"We're talking about almost close to a half a million Latinos here in the state of Connecticut. One thing that we can probably say is that because of the number of Latinos that added to our population, the fact that we did not lose another Congressman can be attributed to that growth."
Latinos now make up 13% of state residents. Connecticut's Asian population also rose sharply, up nearly 65% to more than 135,000 residents. African-Americans grew by 17%.
Whites make up more 77% of Connecticut's overall population, but the number of white residents declined slightly.
For WNPR, I'm Diane Orson.

5 Core-Engaging Alternatives to Traditional Office Chairs
I've experimented on and off with a standing desk in my office for the last year, but recently decided I'd like to have something to sit on that still engages my core throughout the day. This search has turned up some really smart alternatives to the traditional office task chair.
These chairs offer portability, bold style, and an extra effort factor for those who seek to sit less...or at least with a little core-engaging effort:
1. MuvMan Sit Stand Chair ($559)
This chair is especially unique for people trying to transition to a standing desk, providing just enough support to kind of lean into the seat, but not enough to full on sit. The leaning design is also adjustable for standard desk heights as well.
2. PB Teen's Rockin' Roller Desk Chair ($129)
The exercise ball chair has been a trend in offices across the globe for years now, but these colorful and fluffy balls take it to a whole new level, upgrading them aesthetically beyond the normal gym-style design. These Roller Desk Chairs can be removed from the metal holder for more mobile sitting or placed inside it for a stabilized experience.
3. Wrap Chair from West Elm ($199)
The low back and wide sides make it tough to really lean into this chair. As a result, it requires an incredibly steady posture. The Wrap still provides comfort for short seated stints, and the rolling wheels are great for moving it out of the way when you want to work while standing up.
4. Ongo Chair by Neutral Posture ($480)
The Ongo Chair is all about balance. The base of the chair is rounded evenly, so the sitter has to focus on maintaining their position or risk falling over. The height of the chair is adjustable, which also changes the balance dynamics for the user.
5. Alan Heller's ErgoErgo Stool from DWR ($100)
Yes, it seems a bit weird. But trust me, the ErgoErgo is comfortable. The spring shaped stool offers sufficient support, but it does require a strong back to sit on for hours and hours.
5 Comments
I am interested in this topic and did some research on which chairs are best. I wanted to know if any office chairs really help with exercise and health. Ultimately, I decided to keep my old chair and refurbish it. I have a standing desk for some work (I stand) and a sitting desk for other work.
Anyway, I would advise anyone to look the topic up on line and read carefully before buying an office chair if you plan to spend serious time in it.
Any more affordable or DIY versions of these? Other than picking up an exercise ball from Play It Again Sports....? Would love to keep the style high and the price tag low :)
I sat on a yoga ball for a few years until I didn't have a desk job anymore. $20 for a desk chair ;D
I ordered the Ergo about a month ago for my home office. I suggested my husband try it so he reluctantly agreed and took it to his office and then wouldn't give it back :). He worked >80hrs/wk the last month, 90% at his desk, and said he used the Ergo the majority of the time. I happened to find it at the Container Store last weekend and bough myself another one.
It is important if you do any sitting at length to have a good, highly adjustable, standard task chair, in addition to these kinds of core-engaging or transition to standing options. They are not meant to spend 8+ hours per day at, exclusively, and can create other ergonomic issues if not adjusted properly in conjunction with your desk height, monitor height, keyboard etc.
The key to metabolic and joint health is to not spend too much time in any one position, whenever possible, move. Backless chairs of any kind do not support your hip and lower back at all, they may engage your core, they may hurt in other ways.
Be very cautious when making ergonomic changes. Your body will tell you what works and what doesn't. Staying in any one position for any length of time is never beneficial, however.

Reading Pagans & Witches is a Non Profit Organization serving the Berks County (Pennsylvania) and Greater Reading Area.
RPW was formed to provide networking and social outreach to pagans, witches, and
those of any alternative faith in the region. We do this by providing a place that is open to all, regardless of their individual beliefs, and
providing a greater awareness to alternative religious and spiritual paths. Our goal is to
provide education and social opportunities to the public, as well as enrich the happiness and
social lives of our members. We further our purposes under this program by celebrating various nature-based faiths
not just as a social group, but by building awareness through larger
community events, such as festivals and public appearances at other venues
for the sake of building awareness.
We began in October of 2004 as a discussion group and a face-to-face social gathering for the local Pagan community. From our meager beginning with only one person
attending our first meeting, to having almost four dozen people attending our meetings less than a year later, our group has grown and evolved
over the years. In January, 2009, we incorporated as a non-profit organization in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. In April, 2012, we received our federal 501-c-3 status.
Until recently we held
several larger events each year. In 2011 we elected to take a two-year hiatus and began refocusing the vision of Reading Pagans & Witches
as our leadership core and community dynamics had experienced many
natural changes. This is a temporary shift of focus, to make the events we will be putting on, once more, in the future even better for everyone. Our three
larger annual events include a mixture of music, entertainment, ritual,
educational discussions & lectures, children's activities, healers, readers, and
regional vendors. In January of 2012 we hold the Imbolc Gathering & Expo (returning
in 2015). Early May will find us hosting the PA May Faire. In the autumn we have the Celebrating Earth Spirituality Festival (returning in
2015). We end the year each December with a Yule Ball, which is akin to
a formal cocktail party, complete with fine dining, dancing, raffle, and
We also are currently involved in community service projects, including Pennsylvania's Adopt-A-Highway project.
In the past we have worked closely with Berks Women in Crisis and the Berks AIDS Network, part of the Co-County Wellness Center.

@DuceWild, While it dose seem that the x-pac favors the 1-60 crowd, it doesn't really. They've been saying all day that besides new quests and new looking terrain pretty much everything about this focuses on the 81-85 player, and more then not on the 81-85 raider. All the instances that are getting "revamp'd" will be end game. you'll need the x-pac for the new races, the new profession, you'll need it to see the new "unique" zones they are adding. (the ones that have never been there before, 4 or 6, in total... can't remember for sure. Sure more that the two before it this x-pac will change the way we do 1-60, but its still on a scale of 10%(1-60) 90%(81-85)

DLA Piper today announced the appointment of Jayne Newton as a Tax Investigations Director in its Litigation & Regulatory Group. Jayne joins DLA Piper from Lloyds Banking Group where she was Head of Operational and Employee Taxes.
Jayne spent the last 21 years at Lloyds Banking Group where she led the team responsible for managing the financial and reputational risks facing the Group relating to compliance with HMRC regulations on all operational and employee tax issues. This involved influencing regulatory developments through chairing the BBA Operational Tax Issues Working party and also being a pro-active member of the BBA US Tax Issues Working Group
During her career, Jayne has acquired considerable experience in the banking business. This has resulted in a deep understanding of product development and the commercial benefits of effective operational tax risk management. Additionally, Jayne has extensive expertise in the mitigation of the practical impact of UK, European and US regulations on global financial institutions, the management of operational and employee tax risks on mergers, acquisitions, business restructuring, divestments, and market changes/challenges, as well as media management relating to operational tax risks.
Stephen Sly, DLA Piper International Head of Litigation & Regulatory, said: "Jayne has an insight into the banking community that will prove invaluable to our clients in this sector. Her appointment will enable us to combine the legal expertise of a global law firm with the operational tax, commercial and risk management experience she brings. At a time when regulation is on the rise, and changes are being made to tax law at a local and global level, Jayne will be an asset to our market leading Tax Investigations and Disputes team."
Jayne Newton, added: "I am delighted to be joining the Litigation & Regulatory Group at DLA Piper. During my career at Lloyd's I have gained a thorough understanding of the practical impact of compliance obligations and am adept at providing solutions that are commercial, achievable and risk focussed. The Tax Investigations & Disputes team has an excellent reputation in the market and I look forward to putting my expertise to good use advising the firm's local and global clients on compliance."
Deloitte appoints Kit Dickson as partner in financial services tax group
Deloitte, the business advisory firm, has appointed Kit Dickson as a new partner in its information reporting and withholding taxes group within the financial services practice.
Kit will lead the operational taxes team, with a particular focus on pension and investment funds and EU law for financial services firms.
Kit joins Deloitte from KPMG's investment management team, where he worked with a range of institutional investor clients in the UK and globally. He previously led KPMG's EU law group, providing organisations with European law interpretation services around tax.
Gordon Dootson, Financial Services Tax Lead at Deloitte, said: "It is an important time for those dealing with global investments. Since 2008, we have seen a move towards tighter controls and foreign investors having to provide a greater flow of information to foreign authorities. This brings challenges to clients across the financial services sector to manage their tax reporting and withholding requirements wherever they are invested around the world.
"Kit's expertise and understanding of investor markets, such as pension and investment funds, with the support of a strong team, will help our clients meet the new tax challenges arising in a rapidly changing space."
Kit Dickson said: "I am very excited about joining Deloitte and working with the information reporting and withholding group. The changes we are seeing in tax reporting and provision of information requirements in global markets present real challenges for clients' tax risk management and compliance systems. The US regime FATCA is just one example of this and has definitely raised awareness in this area. Clients are recognising the need to consider their tax risk across all investment markets."

The Truth about Lead
In this installment of "Dangerous or Safe?" pediatrician Dr. Cara Natterson sets the record straight on lead ... once and for all.
What parent doesn't look into her child's room and see brightly colored toys all over the floor? Until recently, those toys brought nothing but joy. But now they evoke fear. Are those toys safe? Consumers have become increasingly aware--and thus increasingly concerned--about toys and lead. How can you tell if your child's toy contains lead? More and more, the question has become: Are those toys endangering my kids?
In June 2007, 1.5 million Thomas the Tank Engine toys were recalled for a potential lead poisoning hazard. Many of the red painted engines and signposts (and some of the yellow ones) manufactured between 2005 to 2007 in China included a surface paint that contained lead. If enough lead is ingested, it can have toxic effects. The paint posed a risk because young children who play with the Thomas toys are likely to put the toys in their mouths. Lead can also be aerosolized and inhaled in the form of a fine lead dust.
To find out what you can do if you suspect that there is lead in your pipes, toys or home, and for Dr. Cara's bottom line on lead, go to The Truth About Lead PAGE 2.
