I've been in Real Estate for 10 years now and I still learn something new every day. I recently had a client inquire about commercial property. They want something they can both live in as a residence, as well as use commercially to conduct their law business. I called the Lawrence, KS Planning Department to inquire about the option of running a business out of a residential home. What I learned was home businesses are allowed, with some limitation. A home business in Douglas County and in the City of Lawrence cannot have more than one employee and not more than 10 customer visits per day. My client asked if they could hang a sign advertising their business location. I was told by Dan at the planning department that a 2 foot square sign is allowed and must be placed within 10 feet of the building entrance on a door, wall or window of the building. Because my client was initially looking only for commercial real estate previously, this opened up so many other real estate possibilities and I think we'll easily find something suited to their needs. A permit is required in order to conduct this business, and can be applied for with the City of Lawrence. The phone number to call for this application is 785-832-5150.

The sentencing submissions for Sunrise Propane, the company convicted in a deadly Toronto explosion in 2008, are set to begin later today on May 8, 2014.
Sunrise Propane and its directors Shay Ben-Moshe and Valery Belahov were found guilty in June 2013 of nine provincial offences related to the propane tank blast that forced thousands of people from area homes and caused $25-million in damages.
The submissions will continue on October 27 and 31, 2014.
Sunrise employee Parminder Saini, 25, died in the blast, and Bob Leek, a 55-year-old district chief with Toronto Fire Services, who responded to the emergency on his day off, died of a heart attack the following day.
Among the regulatory violations Sunrise Propane was found guilty of contravening were: releasing a contaminant; failing to clean up after an explosion; failing to protect and properly train a worker; and contravening a number of Provincial Orders.
The court ruled that Sunrise failed to provide safety training and a safe working environment, discharged a contaminant and contravened a number of provincial orders related to the cleanup after the blast.
The court also found that Ben-Moshe and Belahov failed to take all reasonable care to prevent the company from flouting those orders.
Following the blast, the government shut down all three of Sunrise Propane's facilities.

Jocktails kicked off Breeders' Cup 2011 festivities by raising $3,018 for the Permanently Disabled Jockey Fund [3] at Prime Lounge [4] Tuesday night.
Celebrity jockeys Julien Leparoux, John Velazquez, Robby Albarado, Rajiv Maragh and James Graham worked the bar, pouring Breeders' Cup specialty cocktails like Down the Stretch and the Grey Goose Zenyatta. They donated their tips, which were as high as $500, to the charity.
Mayor Greg Fischer arrived at the invitation-only event around 9 p.m. A testament to the jockeys' bartending abilities, I decided I was not in a position to introduce myself to him. Next time, Mr. Mayor, next time.
Should you not have a celebrity jockey available at home to pour your cocktails for you—they might be busy this weekend—here are the recipes:
Down the Stretch
- 1.5 parts Grey Goose Le Citron
- 3 parts sweetened ice tea
- 0.5 part lime juice
- 1/3 part sugar syrup
- 0.5 part Chambord Raspberry Liquor
- Fill a cocktail shaker with all of the ingredients.
- Shake vigorously and strain.
- Serve in a highball glass with cubed ice and garnish with lemon, mint, and raspberry
Grey Goose Zenyatta Cocktail
- 1 ¼ oz. Grey Goose Le Citron
- 2 ½ oz. Simply Pink Lemonade
- Fill serving glass with ice and pour in Le Citron and pink lemonade.
- Garnish with a mint sprig.

ISKCON Guyana plans four Ratha-yatras this summer2,423 Views / EMail This Post / Print This Post / Home » ISKCON Guyana plans four Ratha-yatras this summer
By Paramatma das
ISKCON Guyana celebrated its 7th Georgetown Ratha-yatra on Saturday 29th June and Sunday 30th June, 2013.
On June 29th the chariot was drawn from the Better Hope Centre Ground to the Lusignan Tarmac on the East Coast of Demerara. And on Sunday 30th June from the Enmore Junction to the Lusugnan Tarmac. Each day the parade culminated with a grand religious and cultural stage program from 5:30 pm. Each day the hundreds of Hare Krishna members accompanied by villagers from adjoining villages paraded along the main East Coast highway from 3:00 pm. Special guest of honor was His Holiness Bhakti Sundar Maharaja from Caracas Venezuela and accompanied by His Grace Ajamil Das from India. Several hundred joined in the procession each day and the evening cultural program attracted two thousand.
Ratha-yatra has now become a yearly celebration for the past seven years in all three counties in Guyana, where many visitors from overseas, local Government Officials, the business community and the general public will attend. Present at last year's Georgetown Ratha-yatra was the President and Prime Minister of the Republic of Guyana. The theme for this year's festival is "Combating social and material problems with spirituality…"
Ratha Yatra is one of the biggest and most popular Religious and Cultural festivals held by ISKCON in Guyana, situated on the north eastern shoulder of the South American mainland, a country the size of Florida with a population of ¾ million people comprising six races.
There are three other Ratha-yatras scheduled for the summer in the other rural communities. The Berbice Ratha-yatra festival is on July 21. The Crabwood Creek festival on August 18 preceded by a two nights Bhagavat katha, and the Essequibo Ratha-yatra is scheduled for August 04. Special guests expected for these events will be His Holiness Romapada Swami and His Holiness Bhakti-bhusana Swami, His Grace Akrura Prabhu from Vancouver, as well as devotees from Trinidad. As a result of these festivals the people of Guyana are identifying more and more with ISKCON and they are coming to recognize Ratha-yatra as a festival that invokes auspiciousness for universal peace, harmony, brotherhood, and good will for humanity as well as all of God's creatures.

In the midst of a season where national unemployment is pressing against 10 percent, where GM is about to eliminate 4,000 white-collar jobs, where the number of mass layoffs (50 or more employees from a single employer) is at record levels, where a new President "sharpens" his rheotric on Iran but is powerless to do more, where Congressional Democrats attempt to cram-down radical legislation on energy and health care and where crises loom large and small, this question captivates national attention:
Where was South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford for four days? He was spotted in Atlanta. He was believed to be on a "secretive Appalachian Trail hike." Or in Argentina. He may have been somewhere writing, clearing his head, or otherwise relaxing after the close of the tough legislative session.
His whereabouts nevertheless prompted pundit speculation on the network news that the getaway seriously damages his chances of winning the Republican presidential nomination in 2012. Term limits prevent him from running for reelection in 2010. One of the politicians most alarmed by the governor's absence is the lieutenant governor, Andre Bauer, who wishes to succeed him and who may not be Sanford's choice.
Those who might like to see Sanford's presidential prospects aborted early make much of his disappearance without staff or security. While no President should try such a getaway, the universe doesn't revolve around a governor, any governor. Even on the Appalachian Trail it's possible to keep up with the news and thus be informed whether there's a crisis or some emergency that requires a governor's attention. Naturally we're all curious. And when he returns to work today, some explanation is warranted. But, really, it's no crisis. It's a celebrity-watch story.
Two governors — Sanford and Sarah Palin — are in that phase of their political lives where every action is magnified to high drama. Palin, for example, elected to reimburse the State of Alaska $8,143.62 for air travel accompanied by her children. An ethics complaint filed against her alleged that she'd abused her power by charging the state for them on 19 trips that were of debatable state interest. The Alaska Personnel Board found no wrong-doing. But, hey, she's a serious contender for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination. The fleas come with the dog.

Get Real
Gov. Sanford was somewhere and the MSM didn't know where – maybe he was even in several places. Most executives take some time for themselves to generate new ideas, strategize or just relax. Maybe the governor was even in the midst of exploring a presidential campaign with some political strategy gurus. At the end of his day, though, he's still married, a father-in-residence to his children and provides financially for them ALL. Just an everyday occurence for those who believe in personal responsibility. Call him conservative.
Now, if this was a 'brotha' taking care of his wife and children, we'd call that a miracle.
June 24th, 2009
12:05 pm
I'm surprised at you, Mr. Wooten. Gov. Sanford was an absentee father of Father's Day, and you neglected to place the blame squarely and scathingly on the shoulders of his sl-t wife. Clearly it would be HER fault he was in another country and completely inaccessible to his four children. Or is this something you implied by shrugging off his actions as no big deal?

12:21 pm
LMAO!!!!!!!!!!! ! Conservatives are hilarious!!!!! Jim Wooten is even funnier however in his assertion that Sanford absence is "no big deal". Unless he was hiking in the Andes, riding a llama, my guess would be that Sanford's trip involved some form of sexual deviance, somewhat akin to what David Carradine was involved in. Oh man what a tangled web we weave, huh conservatives. Figures though, everyone knows the reason they go so hard on the issue of gay rights is because a good 75% of them are closeted homo-sexual's anyway

Pubs=Psychotalk Chad Harris, Ensign is an idiot for cheating on his wife. But guess what Bozo. He's not a governor. Palin isn't stupid. At least she has the sense to know how to run a state. Hell, Obama Hussein has managed to take us to 10% unemployment AND skyrocket the deficit. ALL IN SIX MONTHS! Looks like Obama is the stupid one.

DB, what did Sanford do that was corrupt?
He did nothing illegal or corrupt. Again, this is a non story.
June 24th, 2009

Actually, a more exciting place for Sanford's whacky secret getaway would have been Silvio Berlusconi's Rome mansion and partied down with Patrizia D'Addario. And while conventional wisdom would have routinely put the Lt. Gov. in charge, any state Sanford isn't in is much better off.
He's gotten into the category of whack job along with Rick Perry and Alaska hillbilly dimwit Palin.
Palin is in reality on the cusp of obscurity. She cannot get elected to anything in Alaska or anywhere else. She has made an enormous contribution to the power base of the Democratic party.
June 24th, 2009

if sanford and palin are top contenders for the GOP nod for president next time around, then the party is in much deeper trouble than anyone thought and is on its' way to a permanent 25% minority status.

different topic…sean hannity just said that this is obama's recession…hey, he's been in office for 6 months, so that's cool. but when the rocovery comes, watch hannity and his clones announce that it was dubya's visionary economic policies that turned things around. or wait…maybe he'll credit reagan!

reebok, considering that both governors share high approval ratings and both are conservatives I'd safely say that either candidate is in fine shape. I mean, in 2012 the American people will be begging for change we can believe in. Obama is the new Ray Nagin.

1984 – the thread is about Governor Sanford and you're talking about President Barack Hussein Obama. (Yes, his middle name is Hussein. So what?)

12:54 pm
What a dummy wrote: I really do wonder why no one is talking about how idiotic and inexperienced Obama Hussein looks to the world right now. Sanford is a governor of a small southern state. Obama Hussein is the leader of the "free" world right now. It's just a matter of time before another terrorist attack hits us. If NK ends up bombing us I bet he pulls a Ray Nagin and hides in the bathroom with his head tucked away in the toilet.
And G. Bush preferred reading a children's novel during the terroist attack in '01 and then proceeded to attach the wrong country. Go figure

"this sure is odd."
"It's all part of the lonely mystique of Governor Sanford," said Cole Blease Graham Jr., a professor of political science at the University of South Carolina, on Tuesday. "He has taken many positions as governor that are similarly lonely, almost contrarian."
But Mr. Sanford's disappearance set a new standard for unpredictability, Mr. Graham said.
"In a state like South Carolina, where everybody knows everything about everybody," he said, "this sure is odd."
June 24th, 2009

Mister Earl, the reason its getting attention is because he is a contender for 2012. He is against Obama Hussein and Obama Husseins crappy socialist programs. Hell, Obama Hussein has managed to take us to 10% + unemployment AND triple the deficit. ALL IN 6 MONTHS. THAT'S CHANGE I CAN BELIEVE IN.

Mister Earl thinks Sanford is odd yet ignores all the odd things Obama Hussein is doing. I think I'd rather have Sanford as my governor than I would a sitting president who is causing high unemployment and making us less safer in the world.

Warren Buffett to CNBC: U.S. Economy In "Shambles" .. No Signs of Recovery Yet
In a live interview on CNBC today, Warren Buffett said there has been little progress over the past few months in the "economic war" being fought by the country. "We haven't got the economy moving yet."
While the economy is a "shambles" and likely to stay that way for some time, he remains optimistic there will eventually be a recovery over a period of years.
Buffett says the nation should concentrate on creating jobs.
Buffett also revealed that he had a cataract operation on his left eye about a month ago. He joked that he thought it might help him see "green shoots" for the economy, but so far he hasn't seen any hopeful signs.
Taking a firm position in an ongoing debate in the financial markets, Buffett says he's not concerned at all about deflation, but does think inflation will be a problem in coming years.

Way to go Jim. The conservative apologist as ever. You'd have tarred and feathered any Governor with a "D" by his name doing the same thing. True that it should hardly be front page news, but it is bizarre behavior and any reasonable person with his number of years in some spotlight, albeit in a smaller state, should have known the PR nightmare it would create. THAT is why this is a story….a profound lapse in judgment is worthy of note for anyone considered even as a possible Presidential candidate.

Update, 12:05 p.m ET.: South Carolina state Senate Democratic leader John C. Land III just issued a very strong statement regarding Sanford.
Said Land:
"The people of this state deserve complete honesty from Governor Sanford. The Governor's office misled the media, the Lt. Governor, and the people of South Carolina. Never in my 32 years as a state Senator have I witnessed a Governor and his staff act in a more dishonest, secretive, and bizarre manner. There is something very wrong here and serious questions need to be asked about the Governor's 6 day disappearance."
Update, 10:51 a.m. ET: South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford will hold a press conference at 2:00 p.m. today from his office in the statehouse in Columbia.
Original Post
The news — first reported by the State newspaper — that Gov. Mark Sanford (R-S.C.) had spent the last six days in Argentina not, as his staff had previously said, hiking the Appalachian Trail turns what was a bad story for the governor's future political prospects into an out-and-out public relations disaster.
"I don't know how this thing got blown out of proportion," said Sanford upon his return stateside, explaining that he had mentioned to his staff that he might be going hiking along the Appalachian Trail last Thursday before changing his mind at the last minute. Asked why his staff released a statement Monday night saying that he was hiking the Appalachian Trail, Sanford told the State: "I don't know."
Um, ok.
This latest turn in what can now only be described as a bizarre story creates far more questions than it answers. Among them:
* Why didn't Sanford check in with anyone during the five days he was "off the grid"? The Fix has been to Buenos Aires — the Paris of South America — and can attest to the fact that there are shops with e-mail terminals and international phones on nearly every corner. Why would Sanford not, at least, call his wife (and four boys) on Father's Day to let them know his whereabouts — especially given that he was a nine-hour plane ride (or more) from home?
* Why did Sanford's staff insist on Monday that they knew where he was and had been in contact with him? A source within the South Carolina government said Monday that no one on Sanford's staff had spoken to the governor since last Thursday and they did not know where he was, and yet everything that came out of Sanford's office after the initial hubbub seemed to suggest that all was well. Lt. Gov. Andre Bauer accused Sanford's staff of misleading him regarding the governor's location on Monday, a claim that now seems to be right.
* What did Sanford's office tell people like state Sen. Greg Ryberg and South Carolina Comptroller General Richard Eckstrom that convinced that duo to put out statements yesterday condemning the media coverage of the event as making much ado about nothing? And, how much blowback is there from Sanford defenders who now have, to put it nicely, egg on their face?
These are just a few of the questions that Sanford now must answer in the coming days. The fact that he disappeared for six days made for an interesting — and somewhat odd — story. The fact that — whether willfully or accidentally — Sanford's staff misled the public about his whereabouts is a major problem for a candidate considered almost certain to run for president in 2012.
"With the lack of judgment he's shown, Sanford is now seriously damaged goods," said one senior Republican strategist about the incident's impact on the South Carolina Governor's political future.
June 24th, 2009

I hope Mr. Sanford enjoyed the low cost female companion services and easily obtainable mind bending substances here. Argentina is a great place to "clear your head".
"Hiking" here is much easier, because there is no U.S. media. We always strive to ensure your family values stay in place.

Jim please-I am sooooooooooooo glad that you are retiring. You are dead wrong on this one. A responsible chief executive officer, leader or whatever terminolgy you want to use should not disappear without anyone (INCLUDING HIS WIFE) disavowing his whereabouts. I have grave concerns that staff members were 'left in charge' during his absences and had the freedom to decide what other leaders (if any) to involve in any decision. People that have sought public office should understand such scrutiny comes with the territory. Probably most telling is that this secret getaway wasn't even on the governor's private calendar. I find your reaction to this story quite appaling!

Fannie, Freddie asked to relax condo loan rules: report
(Reuters) – Two U.S. Democratic lawmakers want Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to relax recently tightened standards for mortgages on new condominiums, saying they could threaten the viability of some developments and slow the housing-market recovery, the Wall Street Journal said.
In March, Fannie Mae (FNM.N)(FNM.P) said it would no longer guarantee mortgages on condos in buildings where fewer than 70 percent of the units have been sold, up from 51 percent, the paper said. Freddie Mac (FRE.P)(FRE.N) is due to implement similar policies next month, the paper said.
In a letter to the CEO's of both companies, Representatives Barney Frank, the chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, and Anthony Weiner warned that a 70 percent sales threshold "may be too onerous" and could lead condo buyers to shun new developments, according to the paper.
The legislators asked the companies to "make appropriate adjustments" to their underwriting standards for condos, the paper added.
In an interview with the paper, Weiner said the rules have "had a real chill on the ability to get these condos sold," at a time when prices of condos have fallen enough to attract potential buyers.

Monkey urinates on Zambian president
A monkey urinated on Zambian President Rupiah Banda as he spoke to reporters outside his State House offices on Wednesday.
"You have urinated on my jacket," a startled Banda told the monkey, one of many that makes their home in the trees outside his offices.
"I will give this monkey for lunch to Mr Sata," he joked, referring to opposition leader Michael Sata, who Banda defeated in last year's elections.

Orwellian scarey guy 1984,
Buffett is also on record saying our prez is up to the job, and that he's surrounded himself with the best econ minds (i.e. Volker, Summers, etc.) that will get us out of the mess that W. got us into. If you're going to quote a man, don't take it out of context and turn it into a lie. Remember is was Hank Paulsen who told us we were on the verge of economic collapse on September 16, 2008. That was before Hussein Obama was even elected. So, how exactly does this economic crisis fall in Obama's lap. Clearly it doesn't. It is because W. tried to wage two wars simultaneously while cutting taxes. That had never been tried before. You are a witness to how well it worked. NOT.

Hey John Edwards………. Up both sides cheat…..Clinton a fine example……
The Interesting part is Jim saying it is OK to ditch the wife and kids on Fathers day……not Impeach ! And he is according to Jim, a Republican Presidential candidate like Animal Killer Palin……..WOW….some pretty poor choices the Republican's have going !
Pretty funny stuff !

Ok, I live in SC and I am tired of the attention this non-issue has gotten. Sanford had a harder than usual session and every year goes and recharges, which I am in full support of. The people who made this an issue were on of his RINO critics and the Lt. Gov. who has so little respect for the law I don't see how he can seriously be considered to uphold the Constitution. Let this story die and give the gov. time. Also, his critics are mad for the gov's. "we only know there is one branch of Gov't in SC" remarks.

From NBC's Domenico Montanaro
Check out this set of facts. Fact 1: Gov. Mark Sanford went missing Thursday and hasn't been seen since. Fact 2: His staff has since told us that the governor has been hiking the Appalachian Trail. Fact 3: Sunday was "Naked Hiking Day" on the Appalachian Trail. We kid you not.
The Christian Science Monitor: "We're not suggesting that the formerly missing Governor of South Carolina specifically ditched his family and security detail to go hiking on Naked Hiking Day. But that's what he ended up doing. … But many wondered aloud how this traditional, family-loving, Republican governor of a southern state could miss Fathers Day. After all he's got four children! Was something sinister in the air? Then it took a Farrelly brothers screenplay type of twist. Sanford had not disappeared. According to his spokesman, he was hiking on the Appalachian Trail. Coincidentally, on Naked Hiking Day. It's a big tradition. Many hikers celebrate the summer solstice by hiking au naturel. It just so happened the solstice occurred on Fathers Day — one of the days Sanford was hiking."
As the South Carolina blog The Palmetto Scoop points out: "The governor who dropped off the face of the Earth for five days was reportedly found Monday night by his staff hiking along the Appalachain Trail. That explanation of Mark Sanford's disappearance has puzzled many folks in South Carolina and across the country. Why would a sitting governor just up and disappear to the mountains without telling a single soul — including his family? Well, The Palmetto Scoop have discovered the answer to all the secrecy: the governor may have gone for a naked hike. No, really. An Associated Press article from last week heralded Sunday — Father's Day — as 'Naked Hiking Day' on the Appalachian Trail. Yes, Naked Hiking Day."

UFO Hunters - Underwater Area 51 Part 1
- Ritchy72
- uploaded: May 14, 2009
- Hits: 238
Aired on May 13th 2009 - Everyone's heard of Area 51--Groom Lake, Nevada. However, 2,500 miles away there's an underwater facility that's also highly secretive. Perched on the cusp of The Bermuda Triangle, it's called AUTEC. The Atlantic Undersea Test and Evaluation Center is a laboratory said to be used by the U.S. Navy for weapons testing and underwater research. UFO and USO activity in and around AUTEC fuels speculation that the U.S. government is secretly working with extraterrestrials; engineering and testing alien technology. The team heads here to speak with former base employees and to search the waters around one of America's most top-secret facilities.

Great DJ Stories: Reviewing DJ Pauly D's Show
Autore: DJ TechTools
It's been a few months since our last edition of Great DJ Stories (about DJing at Obama's election party), but this morning we've been sent another spectacular story about a unique situation in which DJs find themselves. Today's story is a critical-yet-humorous review of a set by Jersey Shore celebriDJ, Pauly D, published in full by our friends down under at inthemix.
Here's our favorite selection from the minute-by-minute account by Andrew Wowk – a self-proclaimed "techno nerd":
9:37pm – Pauly attempts to scratch for the first (of many) times. Someplace, somewhere, DJ Shadow shudders and doesn't know why.
9:38pm – Pauly drops a track that the support DJs just before him finished with. I do not profess to know its name, my knowledge of commercial 'EDM' admittedly (and proudly) limited. His status as some kind of idol for the frontally lobotomised is confirmed: the crowd explodes.
9:45pm – As the set carries on, Pauly raises what looks like a deformed limb (possibly an arm) and thrusts it upwards into the sky. He calls this a "fist pump" and demands the crowd perform it with him (they, of course, do). Its purpose is lost on me, but if I had to speculate, I would say it is some kind of movement designed to appeal to those who were not born with the ability to dance with their hips and legs.

After falling for each other on the hit MTV reality series Jersey Shore, Ronnie Magro and Sammi "Sweetheart" Giancola tell PEOPLE that they're still together — and it's serious!
"I care about her deeply and I see it going for a long time," Magro says. "I don't really want to jinx anything [but] I love being with her. I have a best friend that's my girlfriend, which is really hard to find."
Seconds Giancola: "I'm very happy and content with my life right now. Things are just amazing and I'm just gonna go with it."
Neither of them expected to leave the beach house in Seaside Heights, N.J., in a relationship — but to hear Magro tell it, the attraction was something they couldn't deny.
"Her legs definitely caught my eye and then it just went from there," he says with a laugh, adding that it didn't bother him that he wasn't able to hook up with local girls the way his single roommates did. "I have the best-looking girl and I'd rather [be with Sammi] than bring home a lot of disasters like Mike and Pauly!"
Giancola says that she doesn't miss single life either. "Ronnie does a lot of romantic things for me all the time." she says. "He's brought me flowers to my house before, he takes me out to really, really nice restaurants, buys me dinner all the time. He's just a great guy."
And while four of their five costars have stayed single since the show wrapped, Jenni "J-WOWW" Farley, has reconciled with her boyfriend Tom, and he moved in four months ago.
"It's great," she tells PEOPLE of domestic life. "He became my best friend, so we do everything together. The house is messier, but in every other aspect, he makes everything easier."
As for the night she and costar Pauly D hooked up on camera, Farley says it's water under the bridge and that her boyfriend and Pauly D shook hands like gentlemen.
"[They're] cool out of respect," she says. "[Any trouble] was, I guess, over with."
Will Giancola and Magro follow suit and move in together? Says Giancola: "We're just taking things one day at a time." –Lesley Messer

What ideas do you have that can help us at Sharefish break the cycle of poverty in remote villages of Honduras through education?
We started Sharefish (www.sharefish.org) two years ago in two remote villages in Honduras. So far we have 71 children in a conditional cash transfer sponsorship program who are now in school instead of selling food in the streets or gleaning sugar cane in the fields. We have also built two libraries and have found that the people who know how to read are teaching those who want to learn how to read now that they have the resources to do it. I would welcome any ideas you have to help us in our quest to work with these wonderful hard working people to break the cycle of poverty in these and other remote villages.

Nov 17 2011: There are multiple aspects of the issue you are dealing with. The first one is access to education and knowledge. That can be accomplished with one computer and multiple monitors. Internet access is not required. That might be an excellent first investment for many reasons....one being ideas, another individual films of a child, shown at a church in the USA or Europe would result in donations, farming information, medical self help, etc. With access even if not on site you can then both sell products and solicit business. As for what products to create there are ideas and instructions all over the Internet. Resources are the key....one being natural and the other human for producing a product. In looking at the landscape with Google Earth the country appears to have some set of resources....land for animal husbandry, a climate for growing specialized items perhaps, etc. In a prior life I used to build and run factories in 3rd world low labor market countries. The only difference was I brought the product. In your case you need to invent a product that has either or both local and foreign market possibilities. My ideas on that subject are endless but without knowing what is available in terms of resources I can't comment. Make that information known and I will respond. Suggestions on products, designs, markets, contacts, etc. SEmail me if you can get the people's support . More than happy to help. firstname.lastname@example.com

Before getting to this week's big game — Florida vs. The Indecipherable Dogs of Athens — a world news update: Police in northern England tasered a 61-year-old blind man the other day after — and I'm not making this up — they mistook his white cane for a Samurai sword. Fortunately, the man, Colin Farmer, seems OK after being hit with 50,000 volts of electricity and handcuffed by England's finest nincompoops, although he may own half the United Kingdom and be knighted before the next attorney knocks on his door.
The po-po chief, Stuart Williams, said, "It became apparent that this man was not the person we were looking for, and officers attended to him straight away. Lancashire Constabulary deeply regrets what has happened." And then he excused himself for his new job — walking behind elephants.
He said police were responding to reports of a man walking around with a sword. Of course. So their intentions were honorable.

Prague Square HostelPrague, Czech Republic
They didn't accept Credit Cards. This is the first Hostel I've been where only Czech Crowns in Cash are accepted. They say they have Elevator, and they do have one, but you always have to climb the stairs up to the 2nd floor, as they don't allow yo call the Elevator on the first floor ("for security reasons"). To go out, you will also have to go on the stairs for at least one floor. It's nice that they lend you towels, adaptors, shower gel, etc without charging you.

Breakfast was really bad. There isn't a common kitchen. You cannot take food bought elsewhere and eat it there. Nearest tube station is at least at 15 minutes. Staff is not helpful. Wifi is really slow and only works at the bar, no wifi at rooms. I reserved a 4 persons room but was given a 6 persons dorm.

You will be the third. It will be busy and far more loud and chaotic than anything your brother or sister was born into. You will be expected more than they ever were to do more, learn more on your own. You will never have less of me, but will have a different me than the one they first met.

If you pay someone to advise you on changing careers these days, the very first thing they'll likely do is administer a personality test to see what career paths you're suited to. So, how should we think about personality types?
In 2009, David Lawson and Ruth Maco, two professors from the UK, published a study of 14,000 families. And yep, it appears that parents have favorites despite their protests to the contrary.
Studies from the past three years show that birth order determines IQ and our personality traits. If this is so, then how do sibling rivalries shake out in stepfamilies when birth order becomes an issue?
Sibling relationships are vitally important in shaping who we are and how we behave.
A sister is someone with whom you can laugh and be silly like when you were kids; who still sees in you the child you were; who shares your past and your memories of it.

A Winning Combination:
Elite Athletes and Hopkins' Sports Medicine Specialists
Photography by Keith Weller
Like a finely tuned thoroughbred who trains days for his two-minutes of bone-jarring glory, an elite athlete has but one goal: To compete and beat the best. It is a pursuit that creates an awareness of body unknown to us mere mortals and makes entrusting that body to a physician an extremely delicate proposition when injury occurs.
Several Hopkins faculty are among the top sports medicine specialists chosen to take care of Baltimore's preeminent competitors. In the rarefied realm of professional and Division I sports, this kind of work translates into serious business. In the first place, these physicians must earn the trust of the athletes. And, their medical decisions must be based on the unique needs of the individual athlete, free and clear of the financial and competitive pressures of the game.
With spring approaching, Hopkins' sports medicine orthopedists are helping prepare the Orioles and Hopkins' legendary Division I lacrosse team for the 2004 season. Several years ago, at the request of Orioles owner Peter Angelos, the Department of Orthopedic Surgery took over management of the team's orthopedic needs. This includes everything from spring training physicals to in-season pre- and postgame evaluations. While many pro teams sell the rights to be an organization's "official" sports medicine physicians, the Orioles instead pay Hopkins for their physicians' services.
Orthopedist Charles "Chick" Silberstein, who has been treating Orioles players for nearly 40 years, works regularly with the team throughout the season. "Chick has the advantage of knowing the player as a person," says long-time head trainer Richie Bancells, who works each day with Silberstein. "He knows the player's mind, emotions, relations to other team members, and the dynamics of how this team works."
Silberstein and Director of Sports Medicine Andrew Cosgarea see players for two hours before each game. A bullpen full of orthopedists covers the team during and after the contests. They include sports medicine specialists Ed McFarland, Leigh Ann Curl, Tim Johnson and John Wilkens; foot and ankle specialist John Campbell; hand and wrist expert Mark Deitch; and spinal specialists Lee Riley and David Cohen. "I wanted everyone in the [Orioles] organization to be exposed to all members of Hopkins' sports medicine team, so if players are referred to someone from one of those specialty regions, they'd be well known," says Silberstein.
Earning Trust
Hopkins sports medicine physicians know what it's like to lay one's body on the line, for they themselves have been competitors. Ravens' physician Leigh Ann Curl, the Bayview orthopedic surgeon who was the NFL's first female team doctor, was a college basketball star. Cosgarea, who is also head team physician for the Johns Hopkins Athletic Department, was captain of Penn State's swim team. Experiences like these create immediate bonds between them and the players they treat.
Pro and top-level amateur athletes count on the physicians to know the answers to their questions, questions upon which careers and millions of dollars often ride. Does my doc understand my injury and how it relates to my sport? Does he see how my hip pointer is taking five miles an hour off my fastball?
Balancing these unique and intense desires of the athlete with those of other financially interested parties, such as insurers, agents, TV networks and sponsors, puts the sports medicine doctor in a potentially precarious position. What's the right call? Allowing a player to play? Sitting him down? Having season-ending surgery? Or just making sure that he can still walk when his career is over?
Identifying which injuries pose serious risks of permanent damage is key. For some injuries, of course, the protocols are black and white. When a nerve injury creates muscle weakness, for example, athletes can't play until the ailing muscle is at full strength. Period. Other injuries, however, fall into grey areas. How much pain, for instance, can an athlete play through? "Virtually every pro athlete plays every day with pain. Whether it's a sore muscle, hip pointer, shin splints—pain is a part of it," says Cosgarea. "An athlete has, say, a partially torn ligament. You tell him the knee is unstable; going out now will cause further damage. With some you can say: I will not clear you to play. Head docs at a college make that decision all the time."
Cosgarea and Silberstein concur that they function as advocates for the athlete, not the team that employs them. They give players all the options for possible inventions, then let them make the choice. As for the team's or coach's opinion of those options: "I don't get involved with that. I call it like I see it," says Silberstein. "If they want to follow my directions, fine. If they want to kick me out, that's fine too."
Cutting Alternatives
It's not enough to "fix" a problem through surgery; what's important is getting at the root cause. If the underlying cause is biomechanical, the problem can recur or exacerbate and ruin a promising career. A big-toe injury forced famed St. Louis pitcher Dizzy Dean to alter his motion. That, in turn, wrecked his pitching arm and ended his career. Thus, Silberstein frequently inundates players with questions they'd usually hear only from a pro pitching coach. When did you start pitching Little League or high school? How do you throw? Three-quarters motion, over the top, sidearm? Have you ever had a problem with a foot, ankle or knee? "Too often, they don't realize that a problem in one area can lead to aches and pains in shoulders and elbows," says Silberstein.
Advances in technology likewise have revolutionized sports medicine. Diagnostic imaging and tools such as arthroscopes have made it easier to spot, treat and recover from what previously were career-threatening knee, shoulder and elbow injuries. Add the digital power of the Internet, and treating serious sports injuries now is an almost instantaneous process, even when the team is out of town.
Last year, an Oriole suffered an arm injury while on the road. "We took a picture of the X-ray with a digital camera, uploaded it on the computer and sent it to Andy and Chick," recalls Bancells. "In the middle of a road trip we could talk about treatments. It doesn't mean you're not working with the other team's docs, but you like working with your own people. They know you best."
Private Lives
In addition to working with the Orioles and the Hopkins teams, Silberstein and Cosgarea maintain their regular orthopedic practices. Silberstein is also on the medical advisory committee for Major League Baseball. Cosgarea fits sports medicine into his larger life by making it a family affair. He'll often bring his three boys to Camden Yards or to Homewood. "How many kids get to go into the training room, or walk in the dugout and chat with the players, or stand on the sidelines at a D-1 game? There are a lot of positives," says Cosgarea.
No doubt the superstars he treats feel the same way.

Cycling finds new hero in war against drugs
Casual sports fans are likely to be surprised over the coming weeks through hearing occasional mentions of cyclist Alberto Contador in sports bulletins. The Spaniard, famous for winning three of the last four Tour de France races, was last September revealed to have tested positive for the banned drug Clenbuterol, yet is competing this month is cycling's second biggest event, the Giro D'Italia.
Contador was cleared of doping by the Spanish Cycling Federation in January, so is currently free to continue racing; but should the UCI's appeal against the verdict be successful, he will be prevented from riding this year's Tour de France and banned for what is likely to be a year.
So cycling is left in the sorry situation where the favourite to win its second most prestigious event is involved in an on-going doping scandal, and should he win may well be stripped of his title just weeks after. With cycling's reputation as it is, few believe in his innocence, and will see his competing as evidence that cycling is a sport being destroyed by drug cheating.
Which makes the recent achievements of Phillippe Gilbert all the more significant for cycling. The Belgium has throughout his career been renowned for his outspoken stance against doping, most famously in a 2005 interview with the Sunday Times, in which he admitted his fear of never reaching the highest level of the sport due to his choice to ride clean.
Two weeks ago Gilbert completed a hat-trick of wins in a series of races known as the Ardennes Classics, a feat that has only ever once been achieved in the history of professional cycling. The three races (Amstel Gold, Flèche Wallonne and Liège-Bastogne-Liège) are some of the most prestigious one-day races on the calendar, and, though not as famous as the Tour de France, are deeply respected among the cycling community.
In winning all three, Gilbert has delighted all in proving wrong his earlier assertion that riders cannot reach the top without cheating. Despite his success, the 28-year-old's reputation as a clean rider is still widely acknowledged, emphasised by his recent heading of his local Walloon regional government's anti-doping campaign.
Whereas Contador always seems eager to avoid the subject of drugs, and responds to questions about the matter with generic, unconvincing answers, Gilbert's outspoken and uncompromising attitude towards doping is a breath of fresh air, and exactly what fans want to hear from their stars.
Encouragingly, Gilbert's combination of an outspoken anti-doping stance and success on the road is not unique. Britain's Bradley Wiggins and Mark Cavendish, who has become the best sprinter of this generation; Carlos Sastre, who won the 2008 Tour de France; Cadel Evans and Thor Hushovd, the two previous winners of the World Championships, one of the most iconic races on the calendar, all have reputations for riding clean.
There examples show not only that not all cyclists are doped, but significantly that it is possible to win on bread and water alone, something the cynics laugh off as impossible.
With riders like Contador still tarnishing its reputation, cycling is a long way from beating the war against drugs, but with the state the sport was in ten years ago it was never to be a quick fix. Progress is certainly being made, and with a new generation of riders lead by Gilbert, fans at least have heroes they can believe in.

I have an idea: Let's all watch a commercial about how Chipotle's meat is "all-natural," and let's all yell out what about it most offends us. Ready, go:
"Of course, one white dude has a sad and it's REVOLUTIONARY"
"Any way you farm animals, you're still FUCKING MURDERING THEM, Chipotle"
"Too bad your stupid parent company sources all its food products from mean and nasty factory farms"
"Pigs on a farm are still in jail"
"You know what would be better than killing animals in a different way? Offering Gardein again"
"Maybe vegans are impossible to please, but this is still whitewashing"
OK, what about you guys?

By Kai Pfaffenbach
There were other big names supposed to be the super stars of this Euro 2012 - Portugal's Christiano Ronaldo, Germany's Bastian Schweinsteiger, Holland's Robin van Persie or France's Franck Ribery - they have all flown home by now and before the final between Spain and Italy there is only one guy left who will be recognized as the tournament's big star: Mario Balotelli from Italy.
What a story. Adopted from African parents when he was three, brought up by Italian foster parents and now one of the most recognized strikers playing for England's champions Manchester City and the man who brought Italy into the final with his two striking goals against an agonized German squad in the semi-final.

Faces of football
By Kacper Pempel
Three weeks of the Euro 2012 adventure are already behind us. Three weeks of hard work, meeting thousands of people, driving thousands of miles and shooting thousands of pictures.
As a photographer based in Poland, I was assigned to cover not only matches but also news stories in Polish cities like Wroclaw, Poznan and Gdansk. So I had a chance to meet people from many different parts of Europe who made the journey here for the soccer fiesta. They were genuine football lovers and real soccer fans.

On the road at Euro 2012
By Kai Pfaffenbach
As a news photographer working for Reuters in Germany it is quite normal to spend some time in your car. It is not unusual to drive between 3000-5000km per month. So I expected nothing different when coming to Poland for the Euro 2012 covering the soccer matches in Warsaw and Gdansk. During our tournament planning we agreed on traveling in a big van with our team of three photographers and one technician. That seemed a lot easier than spending more time getting all the equipment to an airport than actually flying.
Four times we had to hit the road towards Gdansk and back to Warsaw. About 360km one way shouldn't last longer than 3 to 4 hours. "It's about the ride from Frankfurt to Munich to cover some soccer at Allianz Arena. Entering the highway in Frankfurt and three hours later you take the exit in front of the stadium", I thought to myself. As a matter of fact our trips were different and we experienced quite a few new things on our journey - everything in an absolutely positive way. Even though there's not much of a highway to begin with, we had a lot to see. In retrospect we divided the trip in three parts.
Part 1: the strawberry and cherry alley – not one or two people were offering self-harvested fruits here, but dozens. They displayed the freshly picked fruits on the hood of their cars, sitting next to it under a sunshade waiting for customers. Of course we took the opportunity, made a good deal and used the strawberries for a refreshing milkshake after coming back. Some refreshment was needed as the drive on the country road is somewhat challenging as well. Some Polish drivers are very "creative" when using the space of only two lanes. It is nothing special if you face three cars driving towards you next to each other. Thank god that didn't lead directly into the next part of our journey….

A pitch-side soaking
By Yves Herman
Picture five photographers and one technician traveling together between the cities of Kharkiv and Donetsk in Ukraine, at an average of 38 degrees C (100 degrees Fahrenheit) with air humidity of more than 50%. Eastern Ukraine is definitely not a fresh or cool place to stay during this EURO 2012 soccer championships. Nevertheless, it is our job to be there and it is a pure pleasure to be sitting alongside the pitch and taking photos of Europe's best soccer teams. On that journey a cooling rain would have been most appreciated.
Alessandro from Italy, Felix from Spain, Michael from Switzerland, Vasily from Belarus, our technician Rod from Washington DC and myself, based in Belgium, hit the road early on June 15 on our way to Donetsk. An eagerly anticipated match between Ukraine and France was to take place that day at the famous Donbass Arena in front of more than 40,000 fans.

Soccer and History
By Tony Gentile
It's not the first time I have covered an international sport event and a soccer tournament. I was in Germany for the FIFA world cup in 2006, in Austria and Switzerland for Euro 2008 and now I'm covering Euro 2012 in Poland and Ukraine. Every time, I've followed Italy's soccer team. It's a interesting job but sometimes it can be repetitive. You spend about one month with the same people, your photo and text colleagues and the players. Everyday you cover a training session and news conference and travel around the country to cover the matches. C onstantly you have to try to find a different picture as well.
But sometimes something different turns up, in Poland we left soccer briefly and turned to history.
Like other national soccer teams, Italy also visited the Auschwitz former Nazi death camp in Oswiecim.

It's been a hard day's night… and I've been working like a 'tog
By Darren Staples
You off again?" people say. "Ukraine? The Euros? You've got the best job in the world haven't you?"
So here I am, the man with 'the best job in the world', about to have a needle stuck in my backside by one half of the Mario brothers.

Shooting practice
Yeah, yeah, yeah 4-1 loss for the Czechs against Russia in Wroclaw. The Russian fans left the city for Warsaw after that and ended up fighting Polish supporters. Wroclaw is calm and quiet. Here the fans like each other and the city center is calm and full of friendly faces. The spotlight moves on, but there is still work to be done.
After the next round the Czechs became a decisive opponent for Poland in advancing from Group A. Its a championship and the teams need to keep sharp, away from the headlines, and for photographers there are images to be made that tell the story. Eyes on the prize.

A different approach to Euro 2012
By Kai Pfaffenbach
Being a Reuters photographer means you travel a lot. War zones, disasters or political visits are on your list. By far the most exiting events - for me - are still the big sports events. 2012 offers a nice variety and the Euro 2012 soccer tournament will be an excellent warm up for the Olympic games to follow shortly in London.
Although I've followed the German team in previous tournaments this time it's a different approach for me to cover the tournament. With my colleagues Pascal Lauener from Switzerland, Austria's chief photographer Leo Foeger and our technician Gilles de Queiros from France I'm covering the games in Warsaw and Gdansk. With the complicated history of Poland's and Germany's relationship in mind I started this trip with different expectations and was wondering if our Polish hosts had any prejudices against Germans. Let's not forget the first shots of World War II were fired at Gdansk (then Danzig) in September, 1939.

A game of two other halves
By Eddie Keogh
As part of our photographic coverage of Euro 2012, Darren Staples and myself from England and Michael Dalder from Germany are covering all the group games in Kiev and Lviv in Ukraine. Our first game was between Germany and Portugal last Saturday in Lviv and proved to be a very interesting day.
Saturday is a busy day to get married in Ukraine and as the city was also packed with fans it was only time before both parties would meet.

The small car manufacturer Mini has unveiled an all new drop top version of their most efficient model with the One Convertible. The small scale soft top comes with a long list of standard amenities like electromechanical steering for even more MPG as well as a DSC stability control system and four airbags to ensure the safest ride possible. Customers will be able to choose any color from Mini's paint book for the exterior as well as being able to individualize the interior and cloth top colors. Powered by a low consumption four cylinder gas burning engine producing a maximum output of 98 HP while emitting very little in the way of emissions with sales slated to begin in March. The new Mini One Convertible takes 11.3 seconds to get from 0 to 60 MPH and has a top speed of 122 MPH, however you probably won't even get that high up on the speedometer with all the wind in your face fun you will be having.
Press release after the jump.

The qualities of the new 72 kW/98 hp engine also come convincingly to the fore with the roof folded down. The four-cylinder unit in the new MINI One Convertible takes an extremely efficient route to marrying inspiring agility with the open-air driving experience typical of the brand. The new MINI One Convertible accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 11.3 seconds and on to a maximum 181 km/h. And yet the open-top four-seater burns a mere 5.7 litres per 100 km in the EU test cycle and emits just 133 g/km of CO2.
The new MINI One Convertible is the most economical way of enjoying driving fun in an open-top premium car. This attractive entry-level variant completes the range alongside the MINI Cooper S Convertible and MINI Cooper Convertible models. The new MINI One Convertible displays all the features which highlight the unique style of the brand's open-top four-seater cars. Beautifully chiselled body surfaces, a sporty, stretched side view, short front and rear overhangs and large wheel cut-outs define the car's unmistakable appearance. The typically MINI proportions are emphasised by the fabric soft-top with standard electrohydraulic opening and closing function. Cutting-edge chassis technology, including EPS electromechanical steering, unlocks that hallmark go-kart feeling. The standard driving stability control system DSC, meanwhile, ensures active safety at the highest level. Occupant protection is maximised by measures including four airbags and the single-piece roll-over bar, which extends automatically from behind the rear seats when required.
A further hallmark of the only premium open-top model in the small car segment is the broad scope for individualisation thanks to the customer-specified composition of exterior paint shade, soft-top colour and interior design, coupled with the extensive selection of optional equipment and accessories. Among the convertible-specific options also available for the MINI One Convertible is the Openometer, which records the amount of driving time spent with the roof open.
