Developing Economies
China Rolled The Dice
Remember when Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao warned the U.S. to be careful with his country's investments in America?
As you can see from Brad Setser's rough chart, the U.S. is paying an increasing amount of interest to China. That's because China has loaned more than $1 trillion to the American economy in the form of Treasury bills and Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac bonds.
But, just as Wen worried, the overall rate of return is falling. The U.S. is paying less interest on the dollars it's borrowing. That's a result of the U.S. decision to lower the benchmark interest rate nearly to zero. It's supposed to get the economy going, but it also unnerves players like China with the prospect of inflation. China has been worried that its dollars won't buy as much when the U.S. pays it back; now Chinese leaders can worry about falling returns, too — but as Setser argues, that's the risk they took.

His matches with Punk in 2002-2003 are some of my favorite and while people love his feud with Danielson, I wasn't that into it as a whole honestly. Definitely a talented athlete and a member of one of the greatest tag teams ever in the Kings of Wrestling."

Mr. GRASSLEY. As we have seen over the past 2 weeks, immigration is a very emotional issue. It is an issue that engenders strong feelings from both sides of the aisle and maybe out in the grass roots of America even stronger feelings than are expressed on the floor of the Senate.
Everyone wants reform in the Senate. I have not heard anybody say the present situation is A-OK, but everyone has their own ideas and different solutions.
Now, at the grass roots of America, there are people who say we ought to give citizenship yesterday. There are people on the other side who say 12 million people ought to be rounded up and shipped out of the country. Neither one of those are very realistic today, but those are even stronger voices than you hear on the floor of the Senate.
Now, we are trying to find some reasonable solution. I do not think the bill that is eventually going to pass is a reasonable solution. But I will not know whether this is a reasonable solution until we get through the entire legislative process, meaning the House of Representatives and the conference. But I think down the road we can do much better than is going to be done in the Senate.
Now, as I said, everybody has their own ideas and different solutions. Unfortunately, the process has not allowed us to fundamentally improve this bill on the floor of the Senate like we were able to have that chance--not too successfully--but at least we had that chance in committee with that
fair and open process. So out here on the floor of the Senate we have not been able to vote up or down on commonsense amendments or very many amendments at all. I think to this point about 9, 10, 11 amendments are all that we have considered out of 451 that have been offered.
Despite the fact that the American people want the border secured before we provide a path to legalization, this bill appears to be favored by a majority in the body who believe that legalization must come before border security. I ought to say that again. Despite the fact that the American people want border security before we provide a path to legalization, there appears to be a majority in this body who believe that legalization must come before border security.
The polls around America show just the opposite. Border security first, everything else after the border is secured. This approach of legalization first is concerning, not only because the border will not be secured for years down the road, but more importantly because it devalues the principle that is very basic to our country and our constitutional system of government, the rule of law. The rule of law means the government will follow the laws it writes, and we expect the people to do likewise. People need to be able to trust their government and trust that the government will be fair.
I empathize with people who come into this country to have a better life. Who is going to blame them for doing that? We would do anything to give our kids a better life. Some people see no other choice but to cross the border without papers to find work and sacrifice everything they have to do it and to take a chance that they are going to run up against the law and be deported. But they do it because they want a better life. That is very basic to the American way of life. It is a natural right of most people around the world, a natural right that most of them are not able to bring to fruition.
The American people happen to be very compassionate. I know they are just trying to find a better opportunity and live the American dream, those people who come here undocumented. We are the best country in the world. We should be proud of it. We are an exceptional nation. But we are a great country because we have always abided by the rule of law. The rule of law is what makes all opportunities we have possible.
In 1903, President Theodore Roosevelt sent a message to the Congress, the State of the Union Message. He talked about how man must be guaranteed his liberty and the right to work. But so long as a man does not infringe upon the rights
of others, he said this:
No man is above the law and no man is below it, nor do we ask any man's permission when we ask him to obey it.
Meaning the law.
Obedience to the law is demanded as a right, not as a favor.
I am a believer, just like everybody in this body, in the rule of law, despite what some say, including the majority leader. That does not mean we want to deport 11 million people. I want a humane and fair process for them to live, work, and remain here. I have said many times, and I have said it many times particularly in the past few months, that we do not necessarily need more laws, but rather we need to enforce the laws that are already on the books.
That is what I hear at my townhall meetings when people come to them and I start to explain about immigration. Somebody pops up: Right. We do not need more laws; we just need to enforce what we have on the books.
I agree. We need to enhance and expand legal avenues for people who want to enter, live, and work in this country. But we have laws that have gone ignored for 17 years. We have laws that are undermined and disregarded. The country will benefit if we have sensible immigration laws. One of the failings of the 1986 law was that it did not do enough to create avenues for people to work here. Advocates for reform claim they want a long-term solution, but what we have before us is nothing but a short-term bandaid. Really, what the bill does is clean the slate.
Those words ``clean the slate'' was a phrase that we used in 1986. That was the goal, to clean the slate, and we would start all over again. I referred many times--it is probably sickening to a lot of people in this body when I refer to the mistakes we made in 1986, not to repeat them. But here we are. We want to clean the slate again and start over. The problem is, if we just do the same thing we did in 1986, we will be back here in 25 years or less wanting to do the same thing.
So some Senators are going to say: In 2038, all we need to do is clean the slate. Well, we said that in 1986. We did clean the slate. We are back here in 2013 cleaning the slate again. We should have a long-term solution to these immigration issues. We should pass true and meaningful reform; and in doing so, we should not be ignoring the very principle on which our country was founded, on the rule of law.
We should not have to in any way be apologetic for taking this position either. One would get the opinion by hearing some speeches on the floor of the Senate that some people have more respect for people who violated our law than they have respect for the rule of law or people who have abided by the law. We have people from all over the world at our embassies, standing in line for long periods of time to come to this country legally. Those are the people whom we ought to be respecting.
I do not mean we disrespect people who come here to work. But there is one thing: They did violate our laws to come here. We do not have to apologize for not accepting the fact that it is OK to violate the laws. So we should not be apologetic for any position we take that is backed by the rule of law, the foundation of our society.
Why should we have to apologize for wanting to ensure people live by the laws that we set? We will not survive as a country if we allow people to ignore the law and be rewarded for it. We just cannot be a country of lawlessness. Why is wanting to secure the border anti-immigration? It is not. We are a sovereign nation. It is our duty to protect the people of this country. That is the first responsibility of the Federal Government, to guarantee our sovereignty because it is basic to our security. It is our right to create procedures whereby others can come to this country and make a living for themselves.
This does not mean we do not want other people from other countries. After all, except for Native Americans we are all a country of immigrants, some first generation and some, I suppose, fifth or sixth generation. We want to ensure that we protect our sovereignty. We want to protect the homeland.
So I ask my colleagues to think about how our country's immigration laws will survive the test of time. If this bill passes as is, will it be a temporary fix or something that we can be proud of for generations to come?
It is my understanding that, so far, 449 amendments have been filed to this underlying bill, including second-degree amendments. We started off the debate on the Senate floor with my amendment that would have required the border to be ``effectively controlled'' for 6 months before the Secretary could legalize people who are already present. We would call them, under this bill, registered provisional immigrants, and we referred to it as RPI status.
Clearly, the other side was afraid of the amendment I offered because it would have fundamentally changed the bill by requiring that the border be secured before granting 11 million undocumented workers a pathway to citizenship--but not, contrary to what the polls of the people of this country are telling us--they want security first, legalization after security of the borders. They have already cooked the books on this bill and don't want to make fundamental changes, regardless of whether they are good changes, because they don't want to upset their deal. They have insisted on a 60-vote threshold for amendments to pass.
When my amendment was up, I refused that 60-vote requirement and so they tabled my amendment. This raises the question: What about the open and fair process that we were promised? We learned on day one of the immigration debate that all of this talk about ``making the bill better'' was just plain hogwash. It was all just a phony and empty promise.
The sponsors would take the floor and say they were ready to vote on amendments, but in reality they were afraid of any good change. They refused to let Members offer amendments of their own choosing. Instead, they wanted to pick what amendments Members would offer. They want to decide who, what, when, and how it would be disposed of. Of course, that is not right, that is not the open process that was promised.
In the last 2 weeks we have only debated nine amendments on this bill. Of those amendments, the majority leader tabled three amendments on a rollcall vote. Of the nine, we adopted three amendments by a rollcall vote. We rejected three amendments by a rollcall vote, and we adopted another three amendments by a voice vote.
I am sure everyone would agree that debating 9 amendments out of 450 is not a fair and open process. We have a lot more amendments that have been filed and not considered. These amendments would make this bill better. The sponsors of the bill are arguing that because we had a process in the Judiciary Committee that I have applauded as fair and open, that means we don't need such an open and fair process on the floor of the Senate.
What does that say about the other 82 Members of this body, that they shouldn't be allowed to offer amendments? The problem is while the committee process was open, many amendments were defeated, and no amendments were offered that substantially changed the bill in committee.
In order to address many issues with this bill, we would like to vote on more amendments before the end of the week. I wish to discuss some of the amendments we would like to see debated and considered before this immigration debate comes to an end, so people have a flavor of the kind of issues we believe have not been fully vetted on the floor of the Senate in this process that we were promised was going to be fair and open.
A number of amendments we would like considered would strengthen provisions of the bill dealing with border security, something that the current bill fails to do in a satisfactory manner. As everyone knows, this has been a serious deficiency in the immigration reform bill, regardless of the fact that the polls in this country say people want the border secured first and then legalization. This does it the opposite way: legalizes and then maybe the border will be secure.
For example, Lee amendment No. 1207 would prohibit the Secretaries of the Interior and Agriculture from restricting or prohibiting activities of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection on public lands and authorize Customs and Border Protection access to Federal lands to secure the border.
Coats amendment No. 1442 would require the Secretary of Homeland Security to certify that the Department of Homeland Security has effective control of high-risk border sections at the southern border for 6 months before the Department can process RPI status applications. The Coats amendment would also require the Secretary to maintain effective control of those high-risk sections for at least 6 months before the Secretary may adjust the status of the RPI applicants.
Coburn amendment No. 1361 would allow Customs and Border Protection to enforce immigration laws on Federal lands. What is wrong with that amendment, to enforce immigration laws on Federal lands?
Other amendments would beef up our interior enforcement, which we all know is absolutely critical with respect to the success of our immigration system. This is an area where the underlying bill doesn't do enough.
An excellent amendment we haven't had an opportunity to debate and vote on is Sessions amendment No. 1334. That amendment would give a number of tools to State and local governments to enforce the immigration laws, including giving States and localities the ability to enact their own immigration laws, withholding specific grants from sanctuary cities that defy Federal immigration enforcement efforts, facilitating and expediting the removal of criminal aliens, improving the visa issuance process, and, lastly, assisting U.S. Immigration and Customs and Enforcement officers in carrying out their jobs.
Another amendment is Wicker amendment No. 1462, which would require information sharing between Federal and non-Federal agencies regarding removal of aliens, which would allow for quick enforcement against individuals who violate immigration laws. The Wicker amendment would also withhold certain Federal funding from States and local governments that prohibit their law enforcement officers from assisting or cooperating with Federal immigration law enforcement.
Some of the amendments that we haven't considered would ensure that our criminal laws are not weakened by the bill. I have an amendment, No. 1299, that would address some of the provisions in the underlying bill that severely weaken our current criminal laws.
Isn't that funny. We want to have a better immigration bill, and we are going to weaken certain laws that are already on the books?
Specifically, my amendment No. 1299 would address language in the bill that creates a convoluted and ineffective process for determining whether a foreign national in a street gang should be deemed inadmissible or be deported. I offered a similar amendment in committee where even two Members of the Gang of 8 supported it. My amendment
would have closed a dangerous loophole created by the bill that will allow criminal gang members to gain a path to citizenship.
Specifically, in order to deny entry and remove a gang member, section 3701 of the bill requires that the Department of Homeland Security prove a foreign national, No. 1, has a prior Federal felony conviction for drug trafficking or a violent crime; No. 2, has knowledge that the gang is continuing to commit crimes; and, No. 3, has acted in furtherance of gang activity.
Even if all of these provisions could be proven, under the bill the Secretary can still issue a waiver. As such, the proposed process is limited only to criminal gang members with prior Federal drug trafficking and Federal violent crime convictions and does not include State convictions such as rape and murder.
The trick is while the bill wants you to believe that this is a strong provision, foreign nationals who have Federal felony drug trafficking or violent crime convictions are already subject to deportation if they are already here and denied entry as being inadmissible.
The gang provisions, as written in the bill, add nothing to current law and will not be used. It is, at best, a feel-good measure to say we are being tough on criminal gangs while really doing nothing to remove or deny entry to criminal gang members.
It is easier to prove that someone is a convicted drug trafficker than both a drug trafficker and a gang member. As currently written, why would this provision ever be used and, simply put, it wouldn't be used.
My amendment, No. 1299, would strike this do-nothing provision and issue a new, clear, simple standard to address the problem of gang members. It would strike this do-nothing provision and include a process to address criminal gang members where the Secretary of Homeland Security must prove, No. 1, criminal street gang membership; and, No. 2, that the person is a danger to the community.
Once the Secretary proves these two things, the burden shifts to foreign nationals to prove that either he is not dangerous, not in a street gang, or he did not know the group was a street gang. It is straightforward and it will help remove dangerous criminal gang members.
My amendment also eliminates the possibility of a waiver. Amendment No. 1299 should have a vote to make sure the bill doesn't weaken our current law.
There are a number of other amendments that we would like to see considered that would help ensure that individuals comply with the immigration law requirements and ensure that the RPI process does not allow individuals to game the system.
For example, Rubio amendment No. 1225 would require RPI immigrants 16 years old or older to read, write, and speak English.
Fischer amendment No. 1348 would also insert an English-language requirement as a prerequisite to RPI status.
Cruz amendment No. 1295 would require States to require proof of citizenship for registration to vote in Federal elections.
Hatch amendment No. 1536 would ensure that undocumented immigrants
actually pay their back taxes before gaining legalization.
Another amendment, Toomey amendment No. 1440, would increase the number of W nonimmigrant visas available during each fiscal year and would help improve the visa system.
Other amendments that we should debate and vote on would strengthen our immigration system by making sure that we don't allow criminal immigrants to stay in our country and be put on a path to American citizenship.
For example, Vitter amendment No. 1330 would make sure that undocumented immigrants who have been convicted of crimes of domestic violence, child abuse, and child neglect would be inadmissible.
Inhofe amendment No. 1203, entitled ``Keep Our Communities Safe Act,'' would allow the Department of Homeland Security or a subsidiary agency to keep dangerous individuals in detention until a final order of removal of that individual from the United States.
Cornyn amendment No. 1470 would make sure undocumented immigrants who have committed an offense of domestic violence, child abuse, child neglect, or assault resulting in bodily injury, violated a protective order or committed a drunk-driving violation, would be ineligible for legalization.
Portman amendment No. 1389 would limit the discretion of immigration judges and the Secretary of Homeland Security with respect to the removal, deportation, and inadmissibility of undocumented individuals who have committed crimes involving child abuse, child neglect, and other crimes of moral turpitude concerning children.
Finally, Portman amendment No. 1390 would ensure that undocumented immigrants who have been convicted of crimes of domestic violence, stalking, and child abuse would be inadmissible.
I have gone through a whole bunch of amendments. These are all extremely important amendments that would ensure that the worst kinds of criminal immigrants do not gain a path to citizenship.
I urge the majority to allow us to consider these and other amendments that we would like to offer to improve the bill, instead of cutting us off and shutting off full and open debate of this very important issue--something that we were told from day one, that we would have an open and fair process.
What we are doing, voting this amendment to the House of Representatives on Thursday and Friday, ends up not being a fair and open process.
I yield the floor.

Among the significant findings, the survey found the participants highly adept at using new media. They spent considerable time consuming new and traditional media, but much less time producing media content. For instance, the vast majority of participants indicated that they had never blogged. In addition, those who did produce media content, through blogging or otherwise, tended to do it in a language other than their native language.
Indeed, with the exception of news, the majority of surveyed youth consumed and produced media in English, rather than Arabic. In addition, the participants used media predominantly for entertainment, for connecting with others, and for work or schoolwork, but less often for current affairs, for expressing their opinions, or for political activism.

Very nice add/wrap up. Very cute but also some seriousness that needed to be said. Thanks for putting your time into it. It really shows! I hope you are going to write a lot more fics no matter what they are about. Keep up the great writing and remember to plug in some sleep every now and then. ;) Please, please, please write more. You know I will be waiting on the edge.

Great story man, you really did a good job. Thanks for posting this story!
| HilsonFTW chapter 10 . 7/15/2012
Beautiful, the entire story! :-)
| LoveMyHouse chapter 7 . 7/4/2012
Good to see Wilson quick on his feet with the fake excuses and deflections, he must have finally picked up some things from House after all those years. And using them for House's ACTUAL good, not his old perceptions of what would be good for him, which was almost always wrong. It's about time!
| LoveMyHouse chapter 4 . 7/4/2012
This is awesome! Not only for Wilson to get some insight into what it's like to be House, every damn day, but also for him to see himself from House's point of view. His annoying, moralistic lecturing & meddling, never really looking past the surface or his own pre-judgments of a situation, always assuming the worst of House. I'm really loving this story!

Steven Bratman, MD, coined the term orthorexia in a 1997 essay for Yoga Journal in which he described the disorder as a "fixation on eating proper food." Bratman, who himself had a food fixation while living on a commune in upstate New York, chose the prefix "ortho"which in Greek means straight, correct, trueto reflect the obsession with maintaining a perfect diet. Dr. Bratman described orthorexia in greater detail in the 2001 book Health Food Junkies, but it remains largely unrecognized and poorly understood.
Next Page: How orthorexia startsHow orthorexia starts
Orthorexic tendencies often begin as a result of health problems. Alena's obsession with healthy eating started in 12th grade, when she found out she had Candida (a type of yeast infection) and a homeopathic doctor asked her to stop eating yeast, wheat, sugar, and dairy for several weeks as part of her treatment. She was already a vegetarian, so she mainly ate rice and vegetables. (Alena did not want her last name published.)Then, when she was 19, she went to a naturopathic doctor with a collection of stomach symptoms, including nausea, constipation, and indigestion, and was again instructed to avoid processed grains, sugar, soy, dairy, and nuts. "And that's when I went crazy," says Alena, now a 22-year-old student at NYU. "I basically cut out everything from my diet. I convinced my mind that food made me sick."
Next Page: How to get helpHow to get help
Therapists, nutritionists, and eating-disorder experts have slowly begun to take orthorexia more seriously. Anorexia and bulimia were similarly slow to be recognized: Anorexia was long considered a symptom of hysteria, while bulimia was regarded as a type of anorexia and was not considered a disease in its own right until 1980.

The Photos of Julia Louis Dreyfus Having Sex with a Clown Will Satisfy a Very Particular Itch
By Dustin Rowles | Trade News | April 23, 2014 | Comments ()
I'm not entirely sure what that itch might be, but 53-year-old Julia Louis Dreyfus continues to demonstrate that she is the George Clooney of women by somehow defying age and looking more and more beautiful every year. Seinfeld Julia Louis Dreyfus? Eh. Veep Julia Louis Dreyfus? Holy sh*t, people.
Also, for the love of God, watch Veep, which was picked up for a fourth season this week by HBO, and deservedly so, as it is the best comedy on television right now.

My husband owes more back taxes than we can afford to pay. I told him maybe we should contact a tax attorney and see if we can get the irs to accept a MUCH lesser payment. But, he says he has heard that paying pennies on the dollar and having ta...
As with most services, there are good and bad ones out there. You should never pay someone you are not comfortable with. Ask questions and make sure you are dealing with a knowledgeable person. No one can guarantee you a result, but they should be able to explain your options and you should be given a detailed accounting of any work being done on your behalf. An attorney or tax representative will bill for their time, even if it is to do the work to assess your case and determine your options. However, you should review your bill and stay in communication with your attorney so that you are aware of all work being done on your behalf.
If you owe more than you can afford, you definitely have options. Unfortunately, when it comes to settling a debt with the IRS, you cannot simply call them up and say 'let's make a deal'. You should discuss your issue with competent counsel. Anyone experienced in dealing with the IRS should be able to clearly explain your options and negotiate on your behalf .
Bottom line: do your research and follow your instincts when it comes to hiring an attorney or tax representative. Good luck!

I had a freind do my taxes in 2008 and got a letter today fomr the irs saying it was wrong according to their records and now i owe them money I dont have and am currently collecting unemployment ..can they garnish my unemployment
Yes, the IRS can levy or garnish sources of income if you owe taxes, including unemployment income. Based on your description of your financial situation, you might qualify for 'currently not collectible' status and, if so, the IRS would release the garnishment and would not collect against you until they find that your financial situation has changed and you have the ability to pay back the tax debt.
If your tax return was incorrectly prepared and filed, you should file an amended return (1040X).

Given your financial circumstances, your best course of action would be to attempt an Offer in Compromise with the IRS. If it is clear to them that the taxes will not be collectible in full and that paying them will cause a financial hardship, you might be able to settle for a reasonable amount. If not, the IRS will place your account in 'Currently Not Collectible' status if your financial information shows that making payments would cause an undue hardship. It would be wise to contact a tax attorney to discuss your options. Although IRS tax debt can seem like a never ending uphill battle, it can be resolved.

I have been told by two different tax advisors and a tax attorney as well as the tax advocates office that I clearly qualify for ISR yet when I file, it comes back "denied" because my ex-husband filed the taxes as married filing jointly. Isn't tha...
It can be difficult to qualify for innocent spouse relief with the IRS. You do have appeal rights on the initial denial of ISR, but it will be difficult to prove if you signed the joint return in question. As far as the IRS is concerned, if you signed the return, you agreed to be held jointly and severally liable for the taxes owed. However, if you filed a separate return for that year and did not sign your husband's joint return, you would have a stronger case.
You should consider the amount of tax owed and your ability to pay it. A qualified tax attorney should be able to assist you in resolving the debt.See question
We own property free and clear worth about 45,000.00. and several ATVs and a camper . We've been trying to sell them for the last year to help pay down some debt, but have not been able to. If we file chapter 13 bankruptcy do we keep those or d...
Generally speaking, if you file a Ch. 13, you would get to keep the property. If you are making payments on the ATVs and camper, you would need to be current with payments going through the bankruptcy (3-5 years) and you would be able to make up any arrears through the plan. This assumes you have the ability to make reasonable payments on a Ch. 13 plan over time.
However, if you do not intend to keep the ATVs or camper, you should speak to a bankruptcy attorney to determine if you would qualify for a Ch. 7. Under a Ch. 7, your property (assuming this is a primary residence) would be exempt and you would be able to keep it, but you would likely lose the ATVs and camper.
Bottom line, you should speak to a bankruptcy attorney about your options and whether filing for bankruptcy is the best option for you under the circumstances. Many bankruptcy attorneys will offer a free initial consultation.

I have alot of credit card debits, from NYC, now living in Denver , CO. I filed once before roughly about 17 years ago. What can I do, should I file chapter 7, can i do the forms my self.
If credit card debt is your primary issue, then a Ch. 7 bankruptcy can be an effective remedy. However, you must qualify to file for a Ch. 7. Additionally, you must consider the effect of a Ch. 7 on other property you might own.
It is best to consult with a knowledgeable bankruptcy attorney to make sure you understand all implications of filing and to have some guidance through the process. There are alternatives to bankruptcy that could be better for you, depending on the details of your situation.

The IRS violated the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act and filed a tax lien against me in 2005, and has continued collection off and on since. I have no tangible property to attach the lien to. Is it possable to discharge in Chapter 7? By that I ...
Although some taxes may be discharged in a bankruptcy, most are not dischargeable. Without more information about your financial circumstances, I cannot determine if your particular tax debt is dischargeable or whether you would qualify for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy in the first place. Even if you do qualify for a Ch. 7, the debt might not qualify.
If a Ch. 7 is realistic and the debt is discharged, the lien technically stays in place and removal is at the discretion of the IRS (though it would not be too problematic if the lien attached to zero property). Not to mention that you might have removed a lien, but added a bankruptcy to your credit report.
I would consider speaking with an attorney that is knowledgeable about IRS practices about your options to negotiate the debt. If you are able to settle with the IRS through an Offer in Compromise, you will remove the debt and the lien at one time.

* Gold hits two-week low, dollar gain weighs * Development in euro zone debt crisis in focus * Gold ETF hit record, new inflows seen into New York fund * Coming up: U.S. jobless claims on Thursday (Recasts, updates comment, market activity, changes byline, dateline, previous LONDON) By Frank Tang NEW YORK, Sept 26 Gold prices ended down on Wednesday but off an earlier two-week low as a stronger dollar and weaker crude oil triggered profit-taking after bullion's recent sharp rally boosted by stimulus by central banks around the world. The metal was weighed down by gains in the U.S. dollar after data showed new U.S. home sales held near two-year highs in August and prices vaulted to their highest in more than five years. Bullion has extended its losses to a third straight day. It is still 3.5 percent higher for the month following a sharp rally on hopes the central banks will keep the credit flowing by offering bullion-friendly stimulus. On Tuesday, gold fell as large-scale protests against anti-austerity measures in Spain rekindled fears about the European Union's three-year-old debt crisis. "Investors will be keeping a close eye on the events in the EU," said Sean Lusk, precious metals analyst at futures brokerage Ironbeam. "As we are at the month- and quarter-end, today's selloff probably encompassed some profit taking in the precious metals," Lusk said. Spot gold was down 0.5 percent at $1,751.50 an ounce by 3:51 p.m. EDT (1951 GMT), recovering from a two-week low reached earlier in the session at $1,737.50 an ounce. U.S. gold futures for December delivery settled down $12.80 at $1,753.60, with trading volume about 10 percent above its 250-day average. Worries over the euro zone debt crisis, as Greece faced its biggest anti-austerity strike for months and Spain's central bank suggested the country's recession was deepening, also knocked European shares and crude oil futures sharply lower. GOLD INVESTMENT FIRMS Investment in gold has been firm, with holdings of gold-backed exchange-traded funds rising by nearly 300,000 ounces on Tuesday, according to Reuters data, to a record 74.063 million ounces, with most fresh flows moving into the SPDR Gold Trust. Silver rose 0.7 percent to $33.93 an ounce. Spot platinum was up 0.5 percent at $1,628.20 an ounce, while palladium was down 1.1 percent at $624 an ounce. Platinum prices have retreated from the 6-1/2-month highs they hit this month after violence linked to labor unrest at a mine operated by number three producer Lonmin in South Africa led to 45 deaths. 3:51 PM EDT LAST/ NET PCT LOW HIGH CURRENT SETTLE CHNG CHNG VOL US Gold DEC 1753.60 -12.80 -0.7 1738.30 1768.40 177,268 US Silver DEC 33.94 -0.008 0.0 33.360 34.110 46,162 US Plat OCT 1634.40 2.60 0.2 1612.30 1636.20 10,535 US Pall DEC 625.85 -15.00 -2.3 617.45 640.95 3,991 Gold 1751.50 -8.54 -0.5 1738.48 1765.40 Silver 33.930 0.230 0.7 33.380 34.040 Platinum 1628.20 7.70 0.5 1616.25 1633.00 Palladium 624.00 -7.20 -1.1 619.77 638.25 TOTAL MARKET VOLUME 30-D ATM VOLATILITY CURRENT 30D AVG 250D AVG CURRENT CHG US Gold 196,471 153,788 183,917 16.65 -0.54 US Silver 48,275 59,146 52,839 35.84 7.55 US Platinum 22,355 20,017 9,400 22.75 -0.90 US Palladium 4,020 8,643 4,663 (Additional reporting by Jan Harvey in London; Editing by James Dalgleish)

Everytime I paste a link to http://dontforgetatowel.com on social media sites, it always shows all my tags next to the name of the blog. I was wondering how to turn that off. Thanks!
Everytime I paste a link to http://dontforgetatowel.com on social media sites, it always shows all my tags next to the name of the blog. I was wondering how to turn that off. Thanks!
Is the behavior same in all social media sites? Can you provide a link or screenshot of what you observe as odd that needs to be turned off?
I'm having a similar issue when posting a link on Facebook to Holy Cross Anglican School. Only in my case, the default tagline, 'Just another WordPress site' is appearing instead of the one I created. Still haven't figured this one out.
Ok, here it is on our facebook page. Right after it says 'Don't Forget A Towel'
Well in the title of your website, you have tags instead of the title of the page.
Facebook is grabbing the
<meta name="title"> contents.
So how does one go about getting rid of that? I'm new to this whole html blogging thing. Hahaha. Sorry
In the admin panel
Settings > General
It doesn't seem to be there. I have a tagline but all those tags still show up
Explore your settings and if you still can't find it, it may be hard-coded into the header.php file, which you can have a look in there.
"Tagline" in the settings > general panel is different from "Tags." Tagline is the blurb about your site which comes after the Name. Like if your site name was
RedRules.Com then the tagline might be
So Much Better than Blue!
My problem is different. The tagline in the settings is correct.. but somehow facebook catches the default.
I still can't figure this out. it's not in header.php
I see what you mean now. I hadn't opened the image you linked. In your case, the tags are showing, not only in facebook links, but in your actual title as well. Try disabling plugins, specifically any SEO plugins, and see if that helps.
Yup. that did it. Thanks a lot for all your help!!
Glad to hear it! Please change this status to resolved. :) I've just discovered on my own site that it may take Facebook a few days to notice your changes.

Psychosis: Understanding The Symptoms
May 10th, 2016
Stress can be a very usefull mechanism to improve our concentration, focus and power at certain moments. On the other hand, everybody also knows the feeling that, due to stress, one tends to be more forgetful and distracted in other tasks. You forget, for example, a short meeting with a colleague, or you don't remember where you put your keys.
New research, published last week in PLOS Computational Biology, reveals how this is possible. It turns out that stress influences how our short-term memory works. This memory system, situated in the prefrontal cortex, helps us to temporarily remember large amounts of perceived information. It stores the first part of this sentence, so that you can finish reading it without forgetting the first half again. After one to one-an-a-half second, the information in the neurons is erased and replaced by something new that attracts our attention. It thus helps us to complete tasks that seem so simple: you can actually do them without thinking about it.
Researchers Devilbiss, Jenison and Berridge found out that for neuron cells in the prefrontal cortex to keep this stored information 'at hand', they have to keep on firing and re-firing. Berridge explains: "Even though these neurons communicate on a scale of every thousandth of a second, they know what they did one second to one-and-a-half seconds ago. But if the neuron doesn't stimulate itself again within a little more than a second, it's lost that information."
When stress was applied to test rats, the researchers found that this caused the neurons in the short-term memory to interrupt this firing cycle. In other words, the neurons stopped reminding themselves what they had to remember. This led the researchers to the conclusion that stress significantly impairs our short-term memory capacities and thereby turns us into entangled stress sufferers, looking for our keys while we try to remember what to bring from the grocery store.

Rolling your own Arch-based Linux Live image with Archiso
Personal Arch
Build a custom Live boot image with Arch Linux and Archiso.
Arch Linux is a lean, flexible, and powerful independent distribution with an emphasis on simplicity and elegance. The Arch philosophy is to start with a slimmeddown installation and let the user add additional packages as needed. According to the Arch wiki, "Arch is installed as a minimal base system … upon which [the user's] own ideal environment is assembled by installing only what is required or desired for their unique purposes."
This emphasis on simplicity and building from the basics makes Arch an ideal candidate for users who want to create homegrown Live CD, DVD, or USB boot images. You can easily tailor-make your own custom Arch-based distro without contending with the code bloat and package proliferation that afflicts so many other popular Linux alternatives.

Source: My Friend, Michelle
My friend, Michelle, died yesterday while riding her bike. She was hit by a car while out enjoying the day and doing something she loved. I have been at a loss for words since I heard the news. Please bear with me, because I think I may have found a few words tonight.
Michelle was an amazing athlete, person, mother, wife and friend. Our boys (her youngest son is 2 years older than my son) started swimming together 8 years ago. I had an 8 year old, 5 year old and 2 year old. That season, we chatted a few times, cheered on each other's son on in his respective events, and had a good time. Shortly after the season ended, Meredith was diagnosed with type1 diabetes. By the time the next season started, I was a complete wreck. At the first meet of the season, I traveled 3 hours alone with the kids (now 9, 6, and almost 3) and was a little nervous how the meet would play out. I was worried about blood sugar dropping, not being able to care for the older kids while I was caring for Meredith and missing Holden's events.
When I saw Michelle at the meet, I smiled and avoided eye contact, as was my norm since diagnosis. An hour or so in to the meet, Michelle came over to me, told me she knew about Meredith's diagnosis, and offered to help if she could. Michelle was a nurse. And she seemed to understand this disease that had taken over our lives more than I did. I thanked her with tears in my eyes (I was really trying not to cry…again), and knew for the first time since diagnosis, that I was not alone.
Throughout the years, Michelle always encouraged my kids at swim meets, cheered on all of the kids, and was "the swim mom." She always talked to Sydney and Meredith and always asked me how Meredith was doing. She supported our JDRF efforts as well.
Michelle was an avid athlete…often seen running, biking, or swimming. So, when she heard that I had decided to take on my first JDRF Ride to Cure, she texted me and offered encouragement. She told me about the Monday night women's rides that she coordinated and encouraged me to come along. I was nervous and felt out of place at my first ride, and Michelle hung back with me and chatted and helped me and was there for me.
The day after one particularly difficult training ride with my JDRF team on a Sunday, she sent me a text and asked if I was coming to the Monday ride. I told her how awful I did on the ride the day before and wasn't sure I wanted to go. She had her way, and I showed up at the ride. The route was hilly….I'd been on it before and had to walk up a few of the hills. I was not looking forward to doing this ride after having a hard ride the day before. But I did the ride. And for the first time in my life, I made it up those hills without having to walk. And Michelle was at the top cheering me on and crying tears of joy with me when I conquered the last one.
Last year, when I told her I was riding in Death Valley for JDRF and I was terrified, she was so excited for me. She told me it would be the experience of a lifetime…and she was right. She was happy to hear that I am going back this year. And she sent me a text a week or so ago telling me how excited she was to get out and ride this spring. I was too and we messaged back about our Monday night rides and getting back in the saddle.
Michelle was my riding mentor, my friend, my encouragement, and a smile whenever anyone needed it. I'm sure she meant more to me than I to her. But she was my friend, and she will be there with me whenever I am on my bike, taking on a new challenge, or helping someone in need. Michelle touched more lives that I can even imagine. I am proud to say that I knew her, and I hope someday,she will feel the same about me.
Rest in peace.
As a teenager, my Mom and I loved shopping at the Fox River Mall in Appleton. We would wake up on a Saturday morning, drive through McDonalds for her Egg McMuffin and coffee and whatever it was that I got (I seriously don't remember), and hit the road for the 90 mile drive to our favorite mall. When we got there, we would hit the bathroom by the shoe department in Dayton's (now Macy's), look at the shoes, and commence to a day filled with sales, dressing rooms, and decisions.
I don't specifically remember much that we ever bought, but I remember the time we spent together. Trying on clothes and shoes, window shopping, people watching…what ever it was, it brought a teenage girl and her mom together. Our last stop in the mall would again be at Dayton's…in the Marketplace for Frango Chocolates and then another stop at the bathroom before heading home.
I even remember one day, I got a message in school to call my mom at work. So, I went to the office and called her. She asked if I wanted to skip the rest of the day of school and go to the Fox River Mall with her. Really for no special reason, just for a girls' shopping day. Of course I said yes, so I handed the phone to the secretary and my mom told her something and I got a pass for the rest of the day. Again, 25 years later, I don't remember the specifics of the trip, just that it happened and it was great time with my mom.
As a teenager, and I'm sure she might even call me a moody teenager (but I wasn't, really, I remember), we didn't always see eye to eye. But whatever the issue at hand, we could always put it aside for a shopping trip. Even when I was in college, newly married, and with young children. Our shopping trips changed, though. When we had my kids, I felt that they were more stressful, and the day was spent managing chaos. We scaled down the trips to malls, and rarely got away by ourselves. I was always so exhausted by the end of the day I started to feel that the trips were never going to be the same. And, our focus was usually on buying clothes or shoes for the kids, so it was really different.
Today, I was able to get away, ALONE, with my mom. When I texted her asking if she wanted to take a trip with just me to Appleton, she responded, "I'll pick you up in 45 minutes." I took that as a resounding YES! And I could not have been happier. My girls were a little unhappy about not going with grandma, but I explained that I needed a day with my mom. And then I left.
The trip was a little different today. We went to Wheel and Sprocket to pick up a VivoActive for Holden. And did a little shopping for me. I found a pair of cycling gloves that matches my bike, and it my heart was soaring. I LOVE my bike. And I really love the bike shop, too. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. When we were done at Wheel and Sprocket, we headed to the Fox River Mall.
We shopped and talked, tried on clothes and talked, walked the mall and talked. It was glorious. I got a few things at the mall, but what I got from the time with my Mom was priceless. Time….her undivided attention….bonding in the very place we did when we were the mom-of-a-teenager and a teenager. Except now, we are the grandma-of-a-teenager and the mom-of-a-teenager. We have evolved. Our trip has evolved. But our love and bond has grown stronger. And we always have the best time at the Fox River Mall.

Today, I finished a 10 week spin class at the Training Hub at Wheel and Sprocket in Appleton. For the last 10 Sundays (minus the one I missed), I have gotten up at 6am, put my riding gear on, and left my house at 7am. I had a 90 minute drive to get to Wheel and Sprocket and there were a few times that I was convinced that I was absolutely crazy for leaving my warm house when the temperatures were subzero. I arrived and the spin class was 2 hours of spinning followed by 30 minutes of yoga. Then lunch and the 90 minute drive home.
There is just something I can't explain (yet, here I am, trying to explain) about the feeling I get when I am riding. And, better yet, the feeling I get when I am done. The 10 week class was a progression in endurance. Each class was harder than the one before. There were times every single week that I wanted to give up. It was HARD. But nothing worth the while is ever easy, so I put my head down and pedaled on. Remembering that no one was making me do this and I was there because I wanted to be there helped me to keep going. At the end of each class, I was so very glad I didn't give up.
Because, you see, I accomplished something that I didn't think that I ever would. Or ever could for that matter. When I first started to consider this class, I was afraid. And at the same time, I was intrigued. I kept talking myself out of the idea, but the idea would not go away. I have some cycling goals that I want to achieve this year, and I knew that this class would help me get there. After the 4th time I talked myself out of it, my husband told me to just do it and that I wouldn't regret it. He told me that I would regret it if I didn't do it, so I should just go. Taking time away from my home and family does not come easy to me. Knowing I have his support helps ease the guilt of being gone the better part of a Sunday.
I was so terrified at my first class. I knew one person and I was by far the most inexperienced rider. Wearing a heart rate monitor with my heart racing was interesting to watch. But once I got into it, I settled down and began to enjoy myself. I realized that my leg was not as strong as I had hoped it to be 8 months after knee surgery. And I learned that I was stronger than I thought I was. There were times I felt like I absolutely did not belong there. Everyone else was doing so much better than I was. And everyone else was a better cyclist than I was. But I was there…and I was doing it. And even if I wasn't as strong or had a fast cadence, I was improving. I was making changes within myself that could not be seen in my pedal strokes, either. I was becoming more confident on my bike.
One nice thing about being in a class as opposed to being on the road, was that I knew I could not get dropped from the group. I think that is my biggest fear…not being able to keep up. It stems from all of those years of being overweight and feeling like a failure. On a trainer, I could not be dropped from the group. Even if I wasn't riding as fast or as well as the others, I was still part of their group. And that made me realize that my fear is one of my biggest obstacles on the road.
During last weeks' class, I had a feeling that I have never felt. I felt like a cyclist. The Training Hub made that possible. I learned so much about biking at the Training Hub. But I learned more about myself. Now, as I wait for spring, I am hoping that all of this new found knowledge will translate into an awesome season on the road. Here in Wisconsin, the temps are warming up and the snow is melting. As soon as we get a good rain and the roads are clear of salt and sand, I will be on my bike on the road. I owe a better level of fitness to my coaches and fellow cyclists at the Training Hub. I hope if I am lucky enough to ride with them this summer, they will see a more confident rider who is tackling her fear and getting better one pedal stroke at a time.
For a while, I have been pushing myself in the workout arena. I haven't really been feeling like it has been making much of a difference. I rarely miss a workout, and when I do, I try to make up for it the next day. But, alas, the scale has not been my friend.
I have been trying to be more conscious of my eating. Cutting down on everything processed and increasing my protein intake. It's getting a little better, but I have still been feeling defeated. In my head, I should be making more progress. However, I do not have a concrete definition of what that progress should look like. Should progress be a number on the scale? A level of fitness that I have never seen before? Should progress be better fitting clothes? I cannot answer that. I just know that I feel like I should be making more progress.
A few days ago, I decided to come up with a clear picture of what I am trying to achieve. Hoping that will be what I need to feel like I am accomplishing something. I am also trying NOT to compare myself to other people (key word…trying). About 6 months ago, I was encouraged to take my measurements on a regular basis. Taking a tape measure to my body was not anything I was looking forward to making part of my routine, but I did it anyway. So, in a rare moment of courage, I grabbed my tape measure and wrote down my numbers. In comparing them to previous numbers, I discovered….progress! Inches are gone where inches used to be. I can live with that.
The very next day, I decided to switch things up with my workout. I went to the gym for the first time in over a month. I have been working out at home with a mix of strength training, yoga, and the dreadmill (aka treadmill). In physical therapy after my knee surgery, I was encouraged to run on the elliptical. I really do not care for the elliptical, so I have not done any running. I decided that I could suck up my dislike of the machine for at least 30 minutes so I gave it a try.
I have never been a seasoned runner. I really only ran for a few months before my surgery stopped me. And I certainly was never very fast. 10 months ago, when I last ran, I could do about a 14 minute mile. Now, that may seem slow, but my very first mile was 17 minutes. So I was making progress. I hopped on the elliptical and talked myself into thinking I was having fun. I just about fell off the darn thing when I hit a mile in 12.33 minutes! Holy Shit. I have never, in my entire life, ran that fast. Granted it was on a machine in the gym, but I've never done that either. I almost shouted out loud when I hit 2 miles at 25.10. This could be considered progress.
So why am I rambling on about all of these events that I consider progress? Because I think I have defined that word…at least for myself. You see, progress is different for everyone. For me, it was realizing that all of my hard work is paying off, even if it is in different ways that I thought it should. Just like every individual person, progress is what you make it. And sometimes, you have to look out of the box to see just how far you have come.
Today we had spin class. The day starts early. Up at 6:15am (on a Sunday!) to have time to grab some peanut butter toast and coffee and get ready to hit the road by 7:15am. Then we have a 90 minute drive (not much traffic that early on a Sunday morning) to get to spin class. But what a better way to start the day.
Today's class was intense. I know the classes get progressively more difficult and push harder each week. That's one of the reasons I like the class. I need to be pushed. And I really need to get ready for bike season 2016. But today's class was hard.
We did a series of intervals where we had to hold a higher heart rate for extended periods of time (like 1 minute, 2 minutes, 3 minutes) and then have a recovery time. I was ok with the 1 minute and 2 minute intervals, but the 3 minute one was killing me. I really wanted to throw in the towel. But I didn't want to admit to the others at the class that I was struggling. That's a theme for me, but more on that later. I have a goal for the end of the ride season, and I am determined to accomplish it.
So this is what was going on in my head during the first 3 minute interval. I decided to close my eyes and picture myself accomplishing my goal. Eyes closed, I'm gonna do this for 3 minutes….ok….that's got to be about 3 minutes, right? 1 minute down. Ok…reassess. You can do this, don't be such a big baby. Close your eyes, you only have 2 more minutes. But I really want to quit. Ok. So now I am picturing myself reaching my goal and I'm picturing Meredith. Meredith who can never give up on taking care of her diabetes. Ok…are we done yet??? 2 minutes down and 1 more to go. Are you kidding???? I really want to quit. I really don't know that I can do this. Really…what's the big deal if I stop? It won't really mean anything. I can still accomplish my goal and I don't have to tell Meredith I gave up. Holden won't really know I quit because he's not paying any attention to me. So, just stop already. 15 seconds left. WTF? I can do it for 15 more seconds, right?? Hell yes…I did it!
I think we ended up doing 3 of those intervals…it really could have been more. I was half dead by the end of the 2nd one. But I was also a little proud of myself for pushing on. I am glad that I didn't give up. It wasn't easy and it wasn't pretty, but if I had given up, I think I would have beat myself up for it and that would not have been pretty either. I stuck through a really hard work out. I am sore and I am tired. I am also pretty satisfied. I did something that I don't know that every one can do…I pushed through the hard part.
"Let the spirit of adventure set the tone." This was the message on my desk calendar on Wednesday. It really couldn't be more fitting for that very day. Wednesday, January 20 was the day that registration opened for the 2016 JDRF Ride to Cure events.
This year, I will be riding in 2 JDRF Ride to Cure rides. The first will be in La Crosse, WI in August. It will be my 3rd year riding La Crosse, and it is an incredible ride. In October, Holden and I will be riding in Death Valley, CA for the second time. Death Valley is an amazing place.
Both of these rides have been life changing for me. The spirit of Ride weekend is really like no other. You see, JDRF rides are fundraising rides. Each rider has a minimum dollar amount to raise and the money goes to further JDRF's mission and…

Last year, I wrote a clever little blog about the 40 lessons I learned during the 365 days that I was 40. Here it is, one year later, and I'm reflecting on my 41st year. I was mentally making a list of 41 lessons to blog about when it hit me…I'm not getting any younger. If I do this, I will have to learn more every year. My daughter is turning 10 in a few weeks. She only would have 9 lessons to reflect upon.
And while aging does bring its privileges, learning more lessons each year is not a bad thing. I hope I will always be able to come up with the new things that I have learned as each year passes. I'm not sure I will hit 41, but here goes…
Here's to 365 more days of lessons!

Except that you have to worry about copyright on the design....
Isn't copyright for the content, but
you need a patent for the design?
Either way, if they don't publicly release it, it's probably not legal for anyone else to use it.
If a product is not patented, anybody could create the same product and do whatever with it, right?
Yes, but a company does not need to clearly state a patent. They can, however, initiate a lawsuit once they find you using their patented design. Trust me (especially with Apple), unless they tell you that it's publicly available, it's not. Apple calls it, "Intellectual Property".
I'm not sure, but they don't have any copyright notice in the template (wp-layout.css). Maybe if you use enough of your own makings (heading and others) i guess they won't bark at you. I agree it is a nice basis, and derivative works are allowed, aren't they?
Just ask politely, and I guess you can have it.
So if Apple adapted a layout - from who knows where - then someone can use theirs too as a design base. After all, code is code, and there's only so much css to go around :)
And does anyone seriously think that Apple are going to shut down a blog because of some CSS ?
Copy it creatively
"No, you can't ask Apple because apple has no contact points other than first-line helpdesk and sales (have you ever found a mail-address for Apple?)."
Yes... a simple WHOIS search can easily reveal that information.

well that's a whole different discussion (with the patent office and so) just see th MS IsNot patent appliance :-) But as said take your inspiration, just don't make an Apple page.
Looks very nice, simple and matches with the apple header section.

Author has written 5 stories for Casualty.
I have another account created because I think I'm going to start writing for other couples other than Adam and Jessica (who will always be my favorite couple in Casualty ever) Forever wishing that Gillian would reprise her role as Jessica and always on line to see what Gillian is up to.
Delighted to find that she's joining Emmerdale as Emma, the mum of Ross, Pete and Finn. I hope she sticks around for a long time.
In this Order are my fave characters that Gillian has played:
Holly (The other half, Danny Dyer played her husband)
Jessica Harrison. (I wish Adam had left with her, or that she returned when he left. )
Emma Barton ( She's amazing, I adore her and I loved that she slapped James in the pub when she first arrived, I can't wait to see what else she gets up to. )
In the order are my favourite characters that Tristan has played.
Adam Trueman: (I loved him and Jess :D)
Robert Preston: (I know he hasn't been on - screen yet, but I was so excited to find out he was playing Tracy Barlow's ex)
With me, you'll find I may read something, but not review it. It's not because I didn't like it, it's because sometimes I think characters were a little too OC (I've been honest with people who I no longer speak to on this site and told them) Truth hurts. Or, I've just decided not to review it.
Also a big fan of Rita Freeman. Loved her first scene and I wanted her and Ash to get together.
if you don't like something about me, or in my fictions, if you PM me about it, I'll talk to you about it, but at the end of the day they are my stories, so I'll do as I please with them.
I may have different opinions to people on here (not going to name names) but yeah, we are not all the same, so please respect that.
