During my extensive travels abroad, it has become abundantly clear to me that "Made in America" means something special. American companies sell innovative, high-quality goods and services that are highly valued around the globe. Moreover, the "American brand" itself has tremendous value because it symbolizes a commitment to quality, service, corporate responsibility, and strong ethics that is associated with our very best companies.
The "American brand" features the United States as an incubator of creative goods and services, and of entrepreneurial companies, many of which spread their best practices through their products, trade partnerships and investments around the world. American companies are innovative and adapt to change quickly; that's why people in so many countries look to our companies for state of the art products and services. U.S. businesses thrive on the free flow of ideas and information with universities and research institutions, and through interaction with customers and suppliers. They are the stewards of a culture if innovation and invention that dates back to Ben Franklin, Thomas Edison and Henry Ford, and extends to Steve Jobs, Bill Gates and beyond.
Large numbers of U.S. businesses in this country produce their goods and services with a workforce that is racially, culturally and religiously diversified. So our companies are comfortable working in diverse societies around the world. And as a nation that has benefitted enormously from waves of immigrants, with rich and diverse origins and cultures, our workforce reflects the world in which our companies operate.
Our most dynamic companies place a high value on talent and hard work looking to all employees to inject creative ideas and new ways of thinking and doing business. Such companies tend to be meritocracies that respect and value their workers as their most valuable assets, providing significant training, career development and opportunities for upward mobility--in the United States and wherever they operate in the world. This culture of opportunity and fairness is, in part, why men and women from all over the world strive to work for many leading American companies. There is, of course, always room for improvement regarding race, gender and other factors. Nevertheless, diversity and meritocracy have been one America's greatest strengths for decades, are practiced by large numbers of companies, and are a powerful engine in America's business model.
Strong business values are also synonymous with the "American brand" in many parts of world. For America's most respected companies, profitability and doing the right thing go hand in hand. This means adhering to the law; operating in an ethical manner; practicing transparency; and accountability to customers, shareholders and society. It also means high internal standards and compliance with regulatory and safety requirements, so that consumers can have confidence in the effectiveness and quality of American goods and services.
For example, America has high standards for pharmaceuticals--the companies who make them and the regulations that apply to them. That's why most Americans--88 percent according to a recent poll--are confident that prescription drugs made in the United States are safe, efficacious, and free from contamination. Foreign businesses that partner with U.S. pharmaceutical companies stand to benefit from this reputation and dedication to quality. Trust is based on a long-standing commitment of successful businesses to doing what's right, not just what is expedient, whether at home or abroad. Much the same can be said for American food products, engineering goods and services, advanced technology and capital goods, medical equipment and the output of many other industries.
Similarly, a large and growing number of American companies share strong commitments to sound environmental practices at home and take that commitment abroad in the products they sell and the investments they make. They view these practices as good business, good for their brand and good for the planet.
The "American brand" prioritizes responsiveness to customers as well as to the broader community. This is true whether companies sell abroad or invest abroad. That's why the United States has led the Anholt-GfK Roper Nation Brands Index every year since its inception in 2009. This is a survey ranking international perception of 50 nations by polling over 20,000 respondents with respect to exports, governance, culture, people, tourism, immigration and investment. According to the survey, citizens from around the world generally prefer American goods, even, in many cases, over those made within their own borders. This is particularly true when it comes to high-value products, where quality is essential, such as airplanes, pharmaceuticals, energy-efficient appliances, sophisticated semiconductors, and the like.
Individual American companies--much like the "American brand"--are defined not just by their products or services, but also by their values and cultures. Every year, Interbrand, the world's largest brand consultancy, develops a list of "The Top 100 Best Global Brands." These highly innovative businesses respond to the needs of their people, their consumers and the world.
In 2011, Interbrand, the world's largest brand consultancy, determined that all of the top ten global brands were American brands: Coca-Cola, IBM, Microsoft, Google, GE, McDonald's, Intel, Apple, Disney, and Hewlett-Packard. Whether working at home or abroad, these companies, and many others American icons, often show the world what it means to do business, and what it means to be American. By engaging with local communities and civil society, recognizing the importance of social and environmental issues, and creating economic growth and upward mobility for their employees, the most successful American brands truly do well by doing good.
The Secretary of State's Award for Corporate Excellence--or ACE Award--was established in 1999 to recognize the important role U.S. businesses play abroad as good corporate citizens. Awardees highlight America as a positive force in the world through their companies' corporate social responsibility, innovation, exemplary practices and embrace of democratic values.
Secretary Clinton presented the 2011 ACE Award to Sahlman Seafoods and Procter & Gamble. Sahlman Seafoods' investment in Nicaragua goes beyond just its core shrimp processing business. As part of their operations, they have hired local women, sponsored a soup kitchen, invested in the health and education of the surrounding community and instituted numerous environmental safeguards for their facility. Similarly, Procter & Gamble, while working in Nigeria, has purified more than 2.5 million liters of water; built mobile health clinics that provide free medical care, baby care tips, and health education to mothers and their children; and worked with schools to create a health program specifically for girls that reaches more than a million students each year.
Last year, the United States exported an all-time record of $2.1 trillion in goods and services--a strong testimony to the success of American brands and the "American brand." President Obama's pledge to double U.S. exports by the end of 2014 is within reach because so many American companies offer high-quality goods and services and are committed to building shared value--finding win-win solutions for customers; improving the lives of people around the world; and building dynamic networks of suppliers, buyers and investors. And, that's why American companies are, and will continue to be, valuable international trade and investment partners.

FINALLY UPGRADED! How to switch my content to my new 2014 Note?
Just purchased the 2014 version of the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1, and I'm super excited! That said, I have a lot of apps and content on my original Samsung Galaxy Note tablet, including projects I can't lose(yay, art commissions!)
How on earth do I transfer the apps and content to my shiny new Note from my old one? I've gotten a new Micro SD card as well, with the higher storage capacity.**
A lot of my content is specific to the apps that I have, as well.
** With switching SD cards, is it by any chance as simple as dumping the contents of the Old one onto my PC, and then transferring those files onto my new card? Bear with me, I'm still learning!
So, can someone walk me through this? Any help would be greatly appreciated; I'm itching to start work on my new Note!

Re: FINALLY UPGRADED! How to switch my content to my new 2014 Note?
If you have access to a PC just backup all your apps and data and "restore" to new tablet.....Kies 3 can do it... Dont know how well, but its only a one time shot.... IF if you can wifi between the two tables through local LAN you can FTP (File Transfer Protcol) with ES File Explorer (look in "network") ... OR use LAN based PC or networked hard drive as server/file store....
Also it may be possible to use USB cable and have both tablets plugged into PC and both tablets should show up as just a "external memory device" and you can drag and drop between memory devices...
Biggest headache may be finding where your data is stored on "old" tablet...

Despite their differences in genre and style, these books all give an unforgettable sense of place -- whether that place is a small patch of ground, an entire continent, or just the wrinkles of the writer's mind.
Read Whole Story
I was surprised and delighted by a recent shout-out about one of my Huff Post entries by Diane Ravitch, a brilliant and tireless crusader to save public education in the face of the Common Core State Standards. Diane claims in her post that she and I disagree about the CCSS.
Great pre-1800s literature is interesting for reasons in addition to the quality of the work itself. For instance, we see the roots of -- and influences on -- later fiction. We also get a fascinating sense of long-ago life.
When we started the Books that Shaped Work in America project, we said that the list, like work in America, was constantly evolving, and that the list would grow based on suggestions from "the public."
I have a complicated relationship with Amy Tan. Reading The Joy Luck Club as a pre-teen, I didn't really relate to the chess-playing genius or the woman stuck in her unhappy marriage, but I thought the overwrought story important for delving into the turbulent, painful history of China
She died on my birthday and I still feel guilty I was not there to stop her, to have that one conversation that might prevent her from going to extremes.
My interview with Koestenbaum can read, at least in some moments, like flirting, or even cruising. There's double entendre; there's performance; there's even a moment in which we cozy up over one of his books, tracing fingers over line after sexual line of poetry.
It is a grand shame Typee is neglected, all that reading pleasure given away to books that may not deserve your hours in quite the same way. Even with the best readers I know I get a dumbfounded expression when I bring up Typee.
The Secret Garden cemented my love affair with books -- well, novels -- and their power primarily to shield me from nay-saying, which I came to realize much later as bulwark against internalized homophobia.
Do women write the best novels starring women? Do men write the best novels starring men? In many cases, yes. But while there's a lot to be said for "living the gender," there are also some great literary works featuring title characters who are the opposite sex of the author.
No one in Manhattan can throw a gala like Aroon Shivdasani, and the fifteenth anniversary fete of her Indo-American Arts Council (IAAC) was everything...
What gives a writer a reputation as "teachable" but not "great"? In Weldon's case, is it because her writing is forever associated with her successful television work that we're suspicious of her?
For many years, C.S. Lewis struggled heavily with the argument for intelligent design. "One of the things that may surprise viewers," said John West, editor of The Magician's Twin, "is just how angry Lewis's atheism could be in his earlier years."
Ernest Hemingway once took home the urinal from his favorite bar, arguing he'd 'pissed away' so much of his money into it that he owned it.
The English translation of Umberto Eco's debut novel The Name of the Rose (Italian 1980) first appeared thirty years ago, and it continues to delight and surprise, even after multiple readings.
A very frequent fiction theme is "boy meets girl." But some past and present novelists don't pay a lot of attention to romance in their most famous books.
Some of the most popular and well-known heroines of literature are the outspoken troublemakers. Think Scarlett O'Hara, Anne of Green Gables, Emma Woodhouse, Becky Sharpe or Lady Macbeth. And then there are the wallflowers.
Ultimately, this novel's strength resides in its depictions of characters whose ethics and motivations occupy a liminal, grey space between good and bad, moral and immoral.
Empathy -- our ability to feel for others -- is what allows us to care for each other, to form communities and friendships, to imagine each other's feelings, to commiserate over each other's pain and share in each other's joy.
If you think 'totes', 'fangirl', and 'trick out' are recent idioms, then I'm here to surprise you.
Ever read something in a novel and feel you've read something similar in a novel by a different author? I'm not talking about plagiarism, but a variation on a scene or theme.
For 24 consecutive hours, from 2pm on November 23 until 2pm on November 24, the Marina Abramovic Institute and Basilica Hudson will hold a marathon re...
After some success with his short film, In the Name of the Son, Harun kept crisscrossing the country, traveling ceaselessly as he'd done since landing in the United States, taking pictures of landscapes and skies.
It was the relatively late work Surprised by Joy (1955) that got me hooked. Here Lewis tells the story of how the atheist became a theist and eventually a Christian.
I'm partial to novels featuring characters getting another chance at love. Those protagonists may or may not do better in their next relationship, but at least the "happily ever after" potential can put a smile on a reader's face.

There is finally alumbrado (light) in Alumbre, the village where 20 small wind turbines were installed, thanks to our funders. The 500watt turbine at the top of the wind-blown hill now charges the batteries that supply light to the school's classrooms, DVD player, and new computer. Smaller turbines bring electricity directly to homes.
Everyone I met in Alumbre seemed genuinely happy with their new lights. They said that they no longer needed to buy candles, that kids can study at night without noxious kerosene fumes, and that the light is brighter.
For more stories from the Alumbre wind project, please visit the travel blog to learn about the Peruvians who benefited from your donations.

On the final Test and tune at Willowbank Raceway for the year, Brad Mcilroy was out testing his Mazfix prepped 20b Datsun 1200 ute as well as Russ in his 20B powered Mazda Rx3. The PRODAT was testing some changes in the rear end, keeping the newly added 10.5 inch tyres as well as some changes to the 4 link, and after a few tweaks had the car complete a full pass of 7.95 @ 165 mph with a small back off down the deep end, a little slower then what the car has run but a little more stable down the track. The Mazda Rx3 had some issues most of the night but managed to get it down the track for an 8 second pass, also off its best, but once sorted should be back down to where it was running before.

Syrniki are fried quark cheese pancakes that are usually garnished with jam, honey, sour cream or even apple sauce. The Syrniki recipe is native to Eastern Europe in countries like Russia, Belarus, Lithuania, Poland and Ukraine. At times even raisins, cinnamon pr lemon zest are added to the cheese to improve its flavor. These sweet cake-like fried pancakes are generally served at breakfast or as a dessert. Some people even make small round cheese balls out of the mixture and then fry. This makes the outer part crispy and inner part is soft and creamy. Cottage cheese and farm cheese are used for garnishing the Syrniki. Syrniki is best eaten hot in order to savor the nice taste of the soft cheese. Moreover, these cheese balls are considered healthy and filling, hence ideal for breakfast especially for kids.
History of Syrniki Recipe
Syrniki has its origin in Russia and other eastern countries of Europe. The name of this dish is derived from the three lettered word 'syr', which means cheese in both Russian as well as Ukrainian. Though, these days 'syr' means hard yellow cheese, in the early days it actually meant soft white cheese and the Syrniki recipe gets its name from the usage of this soft cheese. Though there are not many variations to this pancake, the original version of the recipe remains the same till date.
Preparation of Syrniki
Syrniki is made with soft farm cheese. Other ingredients that go into the Syrniki recipe are egg, flour, sour cream, butter, salt and sugar. All ingredients are mixed well into a smooth batter and half inch thick pancake like balls are rolled in crumbs or semolina and then they are fried in vegetable oil on medium flame, till they are golden brown. Once done, sour cream is poured on top of the cheese balls and served hot. Honey, apple sauce or any type of fruit jam can also be used as a topping. Some people even roll the batter around jam or berries to make some delicious Syrniki, which needs a lot of care to ensure the batter does not break.

I saw this same pattern in the Cherrywood Fabrics booth at International Quilt festival in Cincinnati and just LOVED it! Of course they had a kit too, didn't get it right then and when I came back to get it it was sold out...:(
What a lively flow of image. I love how the subtle position of color changes makes the soft and pleasant image.
Really pretty!

Background. Pseudomonas aeruginosa has been increasingly recognized for its ability to cause significant hospital‐associated outbreaks, particularly since the emergence of multidrug‐resistant strains. Biofilm formation allows the pathogen to persist in environmental reservoirs. Thus, multiple hospital room design elements, including sink placement and design, can impact nosocomial transmission of P. aeruginosa and other pathogens. Methods. From December 2004 through March 2006, 36 patients exposed to the intensive care unit or transplant units of a tertiary care hospital were infected with a multidrug‐resistant strain of P. aeruginosa. All phenotypically similar isolates were examined for genetic relatedness by means of pulsed‐field gel electrophoresis. Clinical characteristics of the affected patients were collected, and a detailed epidemiological and environmental investigation of potential sources was carried out. Results. Seventeen of the infected patients died within 3 months; for 12 (71%) of these patients, infection with the outbreak organism contributed to or directly caused death. The source of the outbreak was traced to hand hygiene sink drains, where biofilms containing viable organisms were found. Testing by use of a commercial fluorescent marker demonstrated that when the sink was used for handwashing, drain contents splashed at least 1 meter from the sink. Various attempts were made to disinfect the drains, but it was only when the sinks were renovated to prevent splashing onto surrounding areas that the outbreak was terminated. Conclusion. This report highlights the importance of biofilms and of sink and patient room design in the propagation of an outbreak and suggests some strategies to reduce the risks associated with hospital sinks.

Rated 1 out of 5 by MisseyA from Poor design The on/off button and temp button should not be on the handle. You can't operate the flat iron without hitting the temp button or on off switch which makes it difficult to continually operate. Change the design.

Rated 5 out of 5 by LongFamily13 from Love this flat iron! This is a fairly priced flat iron and works like a charm. My hair is smooth and striaght when I'm finished.

I first purchased the blowdryer, which is also amazing! Realized there is a flat iron as well, and how much cheaper it is in comparison to the FHI and CHI that I've been using. Was truly thinking it wouldn't work as well, but sure enough, it does! I like how u can change the temp of how hot u want it! It's pretty cool looking as well cosmetically.

But the party created by Screaming Lord Sutch isn't going away. In Ashburton, a pretty, ever-so-respectable and not-at-all-loony town on the edge of Dartmoor, the party grandees are planning the succession. The leader is gone; the cause remains.
The papers portrayed Lord Sutch as a British eccentric. A man who, wearing trademark top hat and leopard-skin suit, deflated the pomposity of politicians, demanding heated toilet seats for pensioners, and who wanted fish bred in a European wine lake so they could be caught ready pickled.
Eccentric he was, but much more as well. He was actually rather shy and, strange though it may seem, he really believed in "loonyism". And in Ashburton he discovered he was not alone. Here they are mourning the death of a man they felt privileged to call a close friend.
The Official Monster Raving Loony Party, which he headed for more than 30 years, has its headquarters in the town's Golden Lion hotel. The landlord, Alan Hope, a former rock'n'roll singer, was the party's deputy until the tragic events of last week. He has assumed leadership and will carry the OMRLP forward until its 19th annual conference this September in the hotel.
Inside the Golden Lion an election placard showing Lord Sutch in classic pose outside 10 Downing Street, loudhailer in hand, has been propped up against the bar. "The king is dead; long live the king," said Mr Hope. "But may the legend be even greater than the king."
Pictures of Mr Hope and Lord Sutch hang above the bar, while a large cabinet displays the departed leader's autobiography and an LP. Posters advertising Lord Sutch's occasional gigs testify to his rock-playing origins. OMRLP badges are liberally sprinkled around the bar area.
"We'll keep it going. I think we have to," said Mr Hope, who has been shattered by the death of his closest friend. "It's a terrible tragedy, a real shock. He died on my 57th birthday. I always thought I would get a phone call telling me that he wasn't alive any more but I didn't expect him to hang himself."
Lord Sutch's depression was widely known. He had taken medication and was deeply affected by the ill health of his mother, Nancy, who died on the eve of polling day in May 1997. But Mr Hope had believed his friend's fortunes had taken a turn for the better. "He had got himself sorted," said Mr Hope. "He'd just secured an advert for Coco Pops and he was bubbling and bouncing."
Calls of sympathy and condolence have come to the pub from across the world, testifying to the warmth Lord Sutch inspired in those he met. "He would have loved this reaction," said Mr Hope. "Politicians loved him. He shook Harold Wilson's hand and Margaret Thatcher thought the world of him. I don't think he realised what he's left behind."
Mr Hope wants a national memorial to his friend. "I'd like there to be a monument to Lord Sutch right in the middle of Parliament Square, next to Winston Churchill, who was his hero. And they made a postage stamp of Freddie Mercury when he died, so why can't they do the same for him?"
Lord Sutch (he was not a hereditary peer - he changed his name by deed poll) was due to visit the pub this weekend. A teetotaller, he was popular with regulars, who talk of a shy, laid-back man forever clasping a large mug of tea. "He always had time to speak to people," said James Bresin, a Golden Lion regular. "He didn't make a distinction between the powerful politicians and people like us. He always shook our hands."
Mr Hope bought the Golden Lion in 1977. "They brought a lot of trade to Ashburton," said Peter Sear, another regular in the Golden Lion. "Without them this town would be a lot worse off."
The party's influence does not stop there. Mr Hope, a local councillor for 13 years, was recently re-elected mayor for a second term of office. "I was unopposed when I first stood for election. That was important because if I'd got a single vote I would have had to resign from the party for being too serious."
Mr Hope's election as mayor also kept within the Loonies' sacrosanct, though unwritten, electoral code. The first choice dropped out and Mr Hope was nominated by the vicar and an undertaker's wife. His re-election was equally fitting: "The vote was 4-4 and as I had the casting vote I voted for myself. If I'd been elected by a majority then the party would have taken a dim view of it all."
The citizens of Ashburton are entirely happy with his reign, he asserts. "It doesn't matter what your politics are or if you come from Mars if you're the right man for the job," he said. He points out that some of Lord Sutch's ideas - all-day pub opening, abolition of the 11-plus and voting at 18 - have become mainstream.
But for the time being Mr Hope has other things on his mind. He expects to be involved in the funeral arrangements of his friend of 42 years. "It won't be a funeral," he declared. "It will be a rejoicing in his memory."

Peak performance
THERE'S ONLY ONE word in my lexicon that comes anywhere close to describing the 2005 Bentley Arnage T: mind-blowing. The Arnage T is Bentley Motors' top-of-the range, four-door saloon, a souped-up version of the Arnage R - a pretty formidable piece of machinery in its own right.
But only a knowledgeable eye will be able to spot the exterior trim differences that distinguish the two. Inside, the differences are easier to see. The Arnage T has engine-turned aluminium panels set into the dashboard and door cappings - a throwback to its spiritual forebears, W.O. Bentley's legendary Le Mans winners of the 1920s. It also sports quilted leather upholstery and black-faced instruments instead of the R's cream.
The main differences between the Arnage R and the T are under the skin. They share the same V8, 6.75-litre engine with twin Garrett T3 turbos, Bosch ME7 engine management system and drive-by-wire throttle. But the Arnage R develops a mere 400bhp and 616lb/ft of torque, while the T produces 450bhp and 645lb/ft. Maximum torque is available at only 3,250rpm, and the rev limiter has been raised from 4,500rpm to 5,000rpm. This is enough to make the Arnage T the fastest production four-door saloon in the world, catapulting the 2,585kg car from 0-100km/h in 5.7 seconds. That's phenomenal.
The top speed is electronically limited to 270km/h. The 2005 cars comply with EU4 European emission regulations and in the US, they even achieve low emission vehicle rating. The four-speed transmission kicks down with just the right amount of encouragement and delivers overtaking performance that's startling for such a large car.
Darting out from behind a bus on a straight stretch of Tai Tam Road, your shoulders are thrust back and held against the squab while your arms feel as if they're being pulled out of their sockets as the hand-stitched leather steering wheel lunges at the horizon.
The front and rear 35cm disk brakes with four-channel ABS on the Arnage T are among the best on any car I've driven - thank goodness! Even braking hard from high speed, you feel there are still enormous reserves at your command, should you fail to anticipate correctly on Magazine Gap Road.
To assist over-enthusiastic drivers heading home up the Peak, there's also a traction control system, engine drag torque control and Bosch 5.7 electronic stability programme, which will automatically apply the correct amount of braking to the correct wheel, or the correct amount of throttle.
The rear-suspension system has been slightly rearranged to improve ride quality, particularly for rear passengers. The result is that the car glides like a magic carpet, with lumps and bumps being more heard than felt. Cruising along the Tolo Highway or hurrying up the old Tai Po Road, the ride is firm, but not harsh - but there's still a marked tendency to understeer. The car feels smaller than it is and is easy to place on the road. Considering the size of the Pirelli 255/45/R19 tyres, road noise is remarkably subdued - an improvement on my Turbo R.
The steering is the only real disappointment of the driving experience. It's light and provides virtually no feel. Around town, that won't worry me too much. But if you wind your way up Route Twisk, you need feedback from the wheels and the road. There's hardly any.
The Arnage T can cover large distances in a day, and the driver will arrive exhilarated and relaxed. Rear passengers enjoy great comfort in the electrically-adjustable club-like seats and a generous amount of leg room.
The Arnage T's interior is unique. We mustn't forget that, after the divorce between Rolls-Royce and Bentley, which became final on January 1 this year, the company we now know as Bentley Motors Limited inherited the factory and the people who trace their heritage back to Henry Royce and his workshop in Cooke Street, Manchester, in 1904.
Rolls-Royce and Bentley cars were supplied only in chassis form until 1946, but since that time the factory has employed a pool of highly skilled artisans capable of crafting the finest hides, woods and carpeting into the most sumptuous car interiors in the world.
The Arnage T doesn't quite have the traditional drawing-room feel of most other Bentleys. The engine-turned aluminium panels set into the dashboard and the door cappings, together with the quilted leather seats (each headrest with an embroidered logo) and numerous other touches, give the car an altogether more sporty feel. But, despite appearances, the driver's seat doesn't offer enough lateral grip when cornering at speed.
One of the joys of Bentley motoring for me has always been the tactile pleasure of using the beautifully made controls. In earlier models, knobs and switches were made in the factory at Crewe from chrome-plated brass. These days, there's more plastic in the switchgear, which cheapens the look and the feel of the car.
The delicate indicator stalk on my Turbo R, for example, is a delight to operate, like a knife through butter. The one on the Arnage T is large and crude by comparison and has a rough action.
I also don't much care for the woodwork. Like the woods used in many cars now, it looks plastic, and it has an applique Bentley logo stuck on it in the centre of the fascia that looks cheap and nasty.
None of this need be a problem, however. All Arnages are made to order, and about half of them have bespoke features from Bentley's in-house, coachbuilders, Mulliner. The appearance of the large twin-Xenon/halogen headlamps of the 2005 cars is a big improvement on the two smaller ones set behind a glass fairing of earlier models. They give the Arnages a family resemblance to their younger sibling, the Continental GT, as well as some of their forebears. The bonnet line and bumpers have also been revised for 2005, and a vaned radiator grille (instead of the standard laser-cut matrix) is once again an option.
It's difficult to make a complete assessment of a car such as the Arnage T on a short drive in a place such as Hong Kong, where road conditions and speed limits preclude the use of more than a fraction of the performance.
The Arnage T is easy to drive, for both sexes. The driver's seat is infinitely adjustable, so even the most petite woman could probably find a comfortable driving position. Having said that, the character of the Arnage T is of a masculine machine. The only point of buying the T versus the R is for the extra performance and handling. The T is a driver's machine.
Will chauffeurs find the new Arnage T easier to drive? Possibly. The Maybach and the Phantom could feel too big for Hong Kong's roads. The Arnage, although not small, is easy to drive, relatively manoeuvrable and offers an excellent driving position and visibility. The Arnage T is unbeatable on its stylish lines and performance. So, give your driver the day off - if he lets you - and yourself a day to remember. Now, where did I stash that $4.6 million?
Peter Wynn Williams is the investment director of the Henley Group
2005 Bentley Arnage T
What drives it? A 450 brake-horsepower V8, 6.75-litre engine with twin Garrett T3 turbos with a box, double wishbone independent front and rear suspension with computer-controlled adaptive electro-hydraulic damping system and automatic ride height control with auto load compensation and headlamp levelling.
How fast is it? Very, with a 0-100km/h in 5.7 seconds and a top speed of 270km/h.
Does it fit your parking space? It may be tight, at 5.4 metres. Width across mirrors: 2.125 metres. Body width, including door handles: 1.932 metres. Height: 1.515 metres. Power-assisted, speed-sensitive, rack-and-pinion steering offers 3.18 turns, lock to lock.
How thirsty? The T won't say no to 30.7 litres per 100km on a 100-litre tank.
Available: Yours for $4.6 million at Bentley Hong Kong (tel: 2890 1918).

This year's G8 Summit took place at the secluded Camp David presidential retreat in the mountains of northern Maryland. The G20 Summit took place in Los Cabos, Mexico, the beach resort area at the southern tip of Baja California, where American tourists partied in clubs and frolicked on the beaches while 26 heads of state grappled with the world's most pressing problems.
Apart from the striking difference in venues, there was another huge contrast in the American and Mexican summits -- the level of transparency and the manner in which the two governments managed the process of consulting outside groups, including non-governmental organizations (NGOs), otherwise known as civil society. Guess which country had a very transparent and inclusive process, with multiple opportunities for civil society engagement, and which made used a dedicated website and a suite of social media tools, including Twitter, Facebook, You Tube and others, to share information.
If you guessed the United States, you'd be wrong. As a member of the G8/G20 Global Task Force, a group of international NGOs advocating for their issues in the two summits, I saw firsthand that the Obama Administration's management of the G8 process was none of that:
- The U.S. process was secretive, and ignored civil society for months leading up to the summit, then held a series of meetings in the late spring after all the decisions had been made.
The Mexican presidency of the G20, in contrast, did almost everything right in terms of transparency and engagement with civil society:
- They had a website and suite of social media tools up and running in late 2011.
And we had three daily briefings by senior officials of the Mexican government during the summit itself, two of them by the chair of the Development Working Group.
Why was Mexico so good and the U.S. so bad at managing the processes of engaging key stakeholders?
Both countries are having presidential elections this year (Mexico's occurred yesterday and the U.S. will hold theirs in November). The difference is that Mexican President Felipe Calderón has served one six-year term and is prohibited by law from running again and thus has little fear of the political consequences of engaging with NGOs and caring about issues like food security and climate change.
Carlos Zarco, director of Oxfam Mexico, told me that a contributing factor is that some elements of Mexican civil society, tired of feuding with its government, decided to engage this time. Both sides decided it was in their interest to talk.
Barack Obama, on the other hand, is in a very competitive election year and may have decided there is little political benefit in engaging with civil society and showing that he cares about development issues, even though he does.
InterAction, the coalition of U.S. NGOs, put out an analysis of the G8 Accountability Report in which it lauded the G8 for "a substantial improvement from the weak 2011 Deaville Accountability Report."(Download file.) But it also chastised the G8 for its lack of openness and inclusion: "Maintaining domestic support for overseas development assistance during these economically challenging times might be easier if the G8 reports were better informed by outside input and gained greater attention."

Painkillers come with a lot of risks, including high blood pressure—especially for women.
Research has found a connection between high blood pressure levels and non-aspirin painkillers. A report from the Harvard School of Medicine's ongoing Nurses Health Study concluded that women are at increased risk for high blood pressure levels if they take daily doses of painkillers such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) and ibuprofen (Advil and Motrin).
The Harvard study involved 5,123 women age 34 to 77, each of whom had healthy blood pressure at the onset. Here are the results:
- For women not taking painkillers, the risk of developing high blood pressure levels was about 1 to 3 percent a year.
- Women taking an average daily dose of more than 500 mg of acetaminophen (one extra-strength tablet) had a 93 to 99 percent increased risk of developing high blood pressure levels within three years, compared to women taking less than 500 mg.
- Women taking more than 400 mg a day of over-the-counter NSAIDS (the equivalent of two ibuprofen) had a 60 to 78 percent increased risk of developing high blood pressure levels, compared to women taking less than 400 mg.

NSAID Use Can Also Lead to Heart Attacks and Strokes
More recently, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a strong warning that NSAIDs can increase the risk of strokes and heart attacks. They based that warning on the review of both clinical trials and observational studies. In fact, manufacturers of NSAIDs are now required to warn users that "the risk of heart attack or stroke can occur as early as the first weeks of using an NSAID. Plus, the risk appears greater at higher doses." The FDA is also cautioning that these cardiac events can occur in those with or without heart disease, or other risk factors. In fact, taking NSAIDs within the first year after a heart attack is the riskiest.
Fortunately, there are several natural remedies that can help to relieve pain:
- MSM, an active form of sulfer, can help with joint and muscle pain—start with one gram daily, and slowly increase to 4-5 grams in divided doses with meals.
- Arnica works well as either a topical or sublingual treatment.
- For migraine headaches, I like a combination of magnesium (400-800 mg daily) and Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) (100-200 mg daily).
Now it's your turn: Have you found a good natural remedy for pain?

And their new Becket iPad case is a perfect example of this mass market design philosophy.

FIREWORKS: 'Leave the displays to the professionals,' fire chief says
Attend a community display of fireworks put on by trained professionals
Never allow children to pick up fireworks, even after they have been extinguished. They may still be hot enough to cause serious burns
All consumer fireworks are illegal. Do not use them
Keep pets in a safe place indoors during fireworks shows. Never leave them outside unattended
Make sure pets are wearing identification tags in case the noise from the fireworks causes them to run away
8,700: Average number of people per year hospitalized with fireworks related injuries over the past 10 years
2,500: Number of people under age 15 hospitalized with fireworks related injuries over the past 10 years
400: Average number of people who lose their eyesight in one or both eyes every year due to fireworks
1,200: Degrees Fahrenheit the tip of a sparkler burns at, hot enough to melt glass
1,800: Number of fires in 2011 caused by fireworks
Setting off fireworks on the Fourth of July has long been one of America's favorite pastimes, but every year at this time officials remind the public just how dangerous personal fireworks can be.
Almost 10,000 people anually are hospitalized with fireworks-related injuries, and in 2011 nearly 18,000 fires across the country were started by fireworks.
Those figures are why city and county law enforcement agencies do all they can to warn the public about the risks and dangers involved, and why they held an annual Dangers of Fireworks news conference Wednesday morning at Ben Clark Regional Training Center.
"We at the Riverside County Fire Department are extremely concerned about the dangers of fireworks," Riverside County Fire Chief John R. Hawkins said. "Not only risks of injuries and death to people, but also the risk to our environment and wildfires."
Hawkins and more than a dozen city officials implored county residents to abstain from setting off their own fireworks while laying out various facts and figures about the dangers of doing so. Personal fireworks are illegal in all parts of Riverside County.
The news conference comes two days after police seized 700 pounds of illegal fireworks in a raid on a Riverside home.
"Law enforcement of Riverside County practices zero tolerance," Hawkins said. "There are no 'safe and sane' fireworks allowed. 'Safe and sane' are not safe and sane. Please take advantage of the public displays of fireworks … and leave the displays to the professionals."
Law enforcement officials responded to 628 calls for fireworks-related injuries and offenses last year according to Riverside County Sheriff's Department Chief Deputy Shelley Kennedy-Smith.
She said she expects law enforcement to be just as active this year.
"We are patrolling the unincorporated areas and the contract cities and will be enforcing zero tolerance as it relates to the possession and use of fireworks," Kennedy-Smith said. "We would like it to be a memorial Fourth of July. We're asking (people) to do the right thing so we can continue to protect not only our communities, but its citizens and children."

Can you give me any care information on growing the unusual orchid, Inobulbum munificum? Does it have any special needs? — Fred Hammet
Inobulbum munificum1 is related to dendrobiums and can be grown similarly to the tropical members of that genus, or as for cattleyas, with strong light and intermediate (80º F days, 60º F nights) temperatures. Allow it to dry out slightly between waterings. As with many bulbous, seasonally active dendrobiums, this species will do best if allowed a drier resting period with little or no nitrogen after the pseubobulbs are mature. Inobulbon must rate as one of the most bizarrely hairy of all orchids.— Ned Nash
1) Accepted as Dendrobium munificum by the World Checklist of Selected Plant Families.

Abnormal proliferation of fibrous tissue immediately behind the lens of the eye, leading to blindness. It affected many premature babies in the 1950s, owing to the excessive administration of oxygen.

Babies squeezing food from pouches
By MICHAEL HILL
Associated Press
ALBANY, N.Y. — Baby food used to have an image as stable — and bland — as a jar of strained peas. And its target market was limited to, well… babies.
No more.
Old-school glass jars of applesauce are still around, but these days they share shelf space in the baby food aisle with curious (and often organic) combinations like zucchini, banana and amaranth (it's a grain) packed in brightly colored pouches intended to be squished and slurped by consumers with little — and not so little — hands.
"What we try to do is engage them, stimulate all of their senses," says Paul Lindley, founder of Ella's Kitchen baby food, a pioneer in the use of pouch-style packaging. "Not just their taste sense, not just putting a spoon in their mouth or a pouch into their mouth … but to try to stimulate all their other senses."
Welcome to the world of premium baby foods, part of a $1.5 billion industry that's no longer just about babies. Babies don't generally care much about food packaging. But toddlers, older children and convenience-driven parents do.
Pouches have allowed baby food makers to broaden the appeal of their products beyond the traditional baby food years. Maureen Putman, chief marketing officer for the Hain Celestial Group, maker of organic brand Earth's Best, says pouches have helped fuel 11 percent growth at Earth's Best even as the U.S. birth rate declines.
"It's allowing us to age up. Where moms may have stopped baby food at 9 to 12 months, the pouches have really helped extend the shelf life of baby food," she says. "We see growth for a long time to come."
Parents like Lindsey Carl, of Clarksville, Tenn., make the case, saying pouches are a less messy way to feed her 22-month-old daughter and 10-month-old son simultaneously. "They don't require a spoon, which makes on-the-go easy," she says. "You don't have to worry about bringing a spoon: 'Where do I wash the spoon? Where do I put the spoon?'"
And the premium baby food world is an increasingly crowded one, with other major players including Plum Organics, Sprout, the organic baby food company founded by Food Network star Tyler Florence, and even long established baby food maker Gerber.
"We're excited about pouches and we're the No. 1 in the segment and we want to continue to grow it," said Aileen Stocks, Gerber's head of integrated marketing.
Obviously, the premium trend also is about what's in the pouches. And increasingly it's organic. While organic accounts for only about 4 percent of total U.S. food sales, organic baby food represents a more impressive 21 percent of that category, says Putman.
Gerber, with more than half the market, also is No. 1 in pouch sales, with about a 30 percent share, Stocks said.
She said while organic pouches are driving growth in premium products, Gerber's product line runs from infants to preschool and they are focusing on growth and innovation in all the segments.
"Pouches obviously, it's an exciting story because you're seeing a lot of it in the aisles right now," she said. "But it's really just one part of the whole story as far as the child's nutrition."
Putman says the popularity of organics is a sign that parents are concerned about what they're feeding their babies. But there could be other reasons, too. The creative new mixes available — such as Plum's sweet potato, mango and millet, and Sprout's pasta with lentil Bolognese — might speak to Mom and Dad's inner foodie.
Premium baby foods also bridge the gap between the parents who feed out of jars and those who prefer a make-it-from-scratch approach, creating a middle ground both sides of that parenting debate are more comfortable with.
Florence sees Sprout as a way to expose more young eaters to a wider variety of more flavorful foods.
His own "Aha!" moment came when a friend's toddler was spitting up old fashioned jar food. Florence steamed and pureed carrots, and the boy licked the bowl clean.
"If you're feeding a child just sort of green gruel out of a jar and they're spitting it up all over their shirt, they're saying, 'Listen, I don't like this stuff,'" said Florence.
Organic pouches can run $1.69 for 4 ounces, compared to 99 cents for some jarred food. Still, Meagan Call of Cleveland, Ohio, says she can get them on sale for about $1. Call sees pouches as a healthy alternative to sugar-heavy juice boxes for her 18-month-old son.
"They're more like smoothies," Call said. "That's what I see it as. I'm giving him smoothies and smoothies are fairly healthy as long as you don't overdo it."
Not everyone is cooing over pouches, though.
One common criticism is that in some cases a pouch will read something like "spinach and apples," giving an impression of a vegetable-rich meal even if the ingredient label lists more apples than spinach. More pointedly, some critics claim that parents tend to over-rely on pouches.
Dina Rose, a sociologist who writes the "It's Not About Nutrition" blog, said while pouches can be a beneficial "bridge" to fresh fruits and vegetables, they are no substitute.
"It lulls people into thinking that they've done their fruit-and-vegetable job. So they're done," Rose said. "And it gets them out of what they think of as the struggle to get their kids to eat fruits and vegetables."
