Can Obama Do Anything to Fight Inequality Without Congress?
President Obama says he's going to focus for the rest of his tenure on what he calls "the defining challenge of our time"—a cluster of issues including income inequality, stalled upward mobility, long-term unemployment, and wage stagnation. It's an admirable pledge and, 50 years after Lyndon Johnson urged Congress to declare war on poverty and unemployment, a timely one. But even if his attention doesn't wander, the odds of Obama having significant impact are long. In contrast to other issues, like the environment and even gun control, presidents armed with nothing but executive powers can't do much to affect the economy. They need Congress to act—and how often does that happen these days?
The cupboard isn't entirely bare as Obama looks for ways to increase jobs and decrease inequality on his own. But no one should mistake a marginal nudge with a substantial achievement. Consider that in September 2011, in his American Jobs Act, Obama proposed spending $50 billion on job-generating infrastructure projects, and creating a National Infrastructure Bank capitalized with $10 billion. The plan went nowhere thanks to Senate Republicans who blocked it, and Obama eventually fell back on executive action on a much smaller scale—speeding up the federal review and permit process for major infrastructure projects. But he's still hoping for real money and went on the road last summer to beg Congress to step up.
Immigration reform, another Obama priority, is also a prospective economic boon. The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office has found that the sweeping bill passed by the Senate last year and languishing in the House would reduce the deficit, grow the economy and bolster Social Security. "Immigration is as close a thing to a win-win-win as we have in public policy these days," says Jason Furman, chairman of the White House Council of Economic Advisers.
In the absence of congressional action, Obama has made do with his June 2012 policy of deferring deportation of many undocumented youths brought to America by their parents when they were children—"young people who want to staff our labs, or start new businesses, or defend our country," as he put it. That is minimal compared with what Congress could accomplish by turning millions of illegal immigrants into citizens or legal residents who earn degrees, get drivers' licenses, pay taxes, and have unfettered access to the American Dream. Still "expanding opportunity is a way of reducing inequality," even if it applies to relatively few people, says Bruce Reed, who was domestic policy director in the Clinton administration and was until last month chief of staff to vice president Joe Biden.
Reed also points to unilateral moves by Obama to make colleges more transparent and accountable for their results, tie school reforms to federal aid, and expand access to broadband in rural areas and poor communities. Back in the 1990s, he recalls, Bill Clinton created a literacy initiative and a welfare-to-work partnership that helped thousands of businesses put hundreds of thousands of people to work. "You can't raise wages by executive order. You can't change the tax code by executive order," Reed told me. "But it is possible to look at every aspect of federal policy that might be upside down and explore what can be done with the stroke of a pen to set it straight."
Republicans and unions point to a narrow way Obama could grow jobs: by approving the Keystone XL Pipeline that would carry oil extracted from tar sands in Alberta to the Gulf Coast. The State Department has estimated the project would create the full-time equivalent of a few thousand specialized construction jobs, a few dozen permanent jobs, and a ripple effect of about 42,000 jobs, which .02 percent of U.S. employment, a figure that Obama is weighing against environmental considerations. His decision is expected early this year.

Beautiful area, very friendly staff. I did not feel like a stranger, I felt like home. the hotel has a traditional cretan style decoration and the gardens are beautifull. the beach is 3 minutes walk and it is really nice and well-organized. the pool has a great view in the afternoon as you see the sun entering the water.
Large, 2 bedroom apartment with balcony, 1.5 bath, pool very clean. Very quiet as there were few people there during our stay. Fairly close to drive to beaches. Housekeeping even washed our dishes & got clean towels every day. Short drive to grocery store to buy food and supplies. You definitely need a car for this location. Manager was not always available, only there during certain hours and it was not posted when she would be there. When she was there, she was very personable and attentive to our needs.
Wonderful staff, very quiet. Lovely and clean. No.
The peace and quiet. Very relaxing. Dogs being allowed to stay.
A truly enjoyable accommodiation,good location,superb value for money,run by friendly staff.
the place, the rooms, the service, the pool, the breakfast, the flowers an trees, the wifi, the view, the peace nothing at all
The view is fantastic Hotel is wonderful but without a car is impossible to go anywhere. Great for honeymooners, very quiet.
Nice hotel for a calm stay. Good sea and mountain view. Staff very helpful .good tavernas closeby. Breakfast is minimum ( It is everywhere in Greece) ! few more utensils and a microwave in the kitchen would be helpful. The shower place was very small and the drain was very slow.
The room was nice, spacious and clean. There was no one there (staff) We had to call the number on the door to get service. The restaurant and bar were closed, unlike advertised. We had to walk through the country to get something to eat. Once I realized the dogs were not going to eat me the walk was actually nice.
Quiet location, good views and good pool. Breakfast included, although choice limited.
The staff was extremely helpful. The room was large. The pool was very nice. The location was great.
Hotel is brand new, in a great location, ideal for relaxed holiday, staff is very friendly. The swimming pool was not clean enough, there is no bar serving drinks or snacks, the reception is only open during breakfast.
Great views, large room, friendly staff, pleasant environment (garden, relatively large pool, surrounded by olive groves, nice architecture with the use of stone on the buildings and well-kept tasteful garden with many flowers and shrubs). Very good value for money, large room with equipped kitchenette and our verandah had a great sea view. Breakfast leaves room for improvement. Unfortunate that 2 houses were being built (summer '09) close by so partially blocking the sea view of some rooms (thankfully not ours!) and also was a bit noisy due to the construction work. The construction work should be complete by this year though.

Egypt's Minister of Finance, Mursi Hijazi, said on Wednesday that Egypt is losing about 100 million pounds ($15 million) per day because of insecurity and political unrest.
"The losses are caused by various disruptions, [2] such as the sit-ins, protests, cutting off roads and breaking in state institutions," The minister said as reported by the state-owned news agency.
In a press conference, the minister said that Egypt lost one billion pounds of tax revenues because of the unrest, he did not specify the time when the losses occured though.
The government has said earlier in Februar [3]y that the economy can only grow at a three percent rate during the fiscal year of 2012-2013 because of the political unrest.
The administration of President Mohamed Mursi faces difficulties in providing safety, stability, job opportunities and an attraction for tourists and foreign investments amid the political turmoil.
The Egyptian economy is struggling to recover from the impact of the relapse that followed the popular uprising that toppled the former President Hosni Mubarak two years ago. [4]
Hijazi stressed that the government seeks achieving security and stability.

Discussion in 'Fan Zone' started by Aven8, Jan 24, 2013.
I was born and raised in Dallas so it just happened. Natural selection.
Born and raised in Texas.
Growing up, we only had one Television and my dad would hog it up on Sundays and watch The Dallas Cowboys. So either we watched football or go played outside. I decided to watch football one day and I remember Michael Irvin scoring a TD and doing a celebration. I was immediately hooked on him. The following week I watched the boys again just because I wanted to see Irvin again and my enthusiasm for him soon spread to the entire team. It was 1996 and I've been a fan ever since. I wish I would have been more football conscious during at least one superbowl. I Dont know when I will ever see one... EVER and my 30's are fast approaching.
Dad is a fan and dressed me up a in Cowboys gear as a young one. Eventually I started paying attention more to games and I am now a fan.
That's pretty cool. I've been to two games here in cali. One preseason game a couple years back when they played the chargers. And one regular season game, at candlestick when Romo went on a tear with his broken ribs and beat them niners! It was like 50/50 cowboy and niner fans. Great game, went with my father and grandfather. They had a guy who works with the niners organization who is a frat brother of theirs and also :starspin a fellow cowboy fan and hooked it up with some tickets. Same with chargers, I have an uncle who has season tickets and I will be at the cowboy game this year.
Well I've been around since the first game. Saw all the greats play and all the great games, but not in person. I've never been to a live game and I've lived in San Antonio most of my life. Now in Hot Springs Ark. Think about it each year but never follow through. Staubach is my favorite player with Bob Lilly a close second. Like in life things in football were much simpler then. For the most part the players remained pretty much the same from year to year. I don't get half as much enjoyment now as I did then. Back then you never heard from the owner, in fact, some fans didn't even know the owners name.
I was at that game at the stick too but I would say more like a 60/40 split in favor of the boys It felt like that anyways
how did you react when his first pass was an INT
For me, became a fan really in 1977 although liked the name and team helmet earlier. I was 11 in 1977 when I first watched a lot of NFL. Stuck with them ever since.
I used to get a lot of their games on WCAX Burlington Vermont. When moved out west in 1980 was a little harder to see them as local CBS in Seattle thought local TV meant NFC West so I was stuck with Falcons, Saints etc. However, got enough Cowboys to keep me a fan.
Haha true true. It felt like a home game. Moreso then our current stadium lolz!
Same thing with the chargers game to.
but I didn't see the early years. Not from Texas but I lived there in Dallas/Oak Cliff from 70 to 75. That's when I became a fan. Started watching when Craig Morton was the starter. Lost the Superbowl that same year to the Colts. That's of course when Staubach came into the scene and I've been a fan ever since.
I've been a Cowboys fan for a while. I'll be honest though, if I knew I was going to be dead before the Cowboys got to the NFC Championship game, I probably would have done something else.
I grew up in NC during the 1970's. I didn't really follow football until 1975 when I was 10. Before then I'd watch a game ever so often but that would be that. Back in those days the teams that were on tv all the time were The Cowboys, Steelers, Dolphins and Raiders. In NC back then it was Deadskin country. Their games were on every single week. I just liked the Cowboys. I was a big western fan and I liked the players...mainly Roger Staubach. what a leader he was. I liked Tom Landry too. I just started following them. The first SB I ever watched was SB X. I've been a fan ever since. We used to get the Cowboys on tv quite alot so I got to see most of their games. It was great being a fan back then. Every year we were in the playoffs and it was only disappointing when we didn't make the SB. But we could always say, "Wait until next year," because you knew we would be back.
Didn't bother me. That dang Strahan!!!! I knew we were in for a ride and Parcells old cronies were a thing of the past. Hope was reborn in Cowboy land that day!
First Cowboys game I can remember watching as a young lad was the Hail Mary playoff win over the Vikings.
Have been hooked ever since !
Grew up in Ft. Worth and a fan since I could remember watching football 1976 or so.
Staubach, Tony D., The Manster, Harvey Martin and Doomsday....ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh: those were the days. Beat Denver that year in the SUperdome in N.orleans and I was HOOKED.
It was 1968, and my Dad told his 12-year old daughter (me) that she would have to learn about football if she wanted to be able to talk to boys. (I think my Dad just wanted somebody to watch games with him). : I started watching or listening to Saints games with him for a few weeks, but it got boring because they were losing all the time. Mid-season, the Dallas Cowboys came to town. My Dad told me about the Ice Bowl game that ended the previous season for the Cowboys...I think I kinda felt a little bad for them and decided right then and there that they would be my team. I dumped the Saints and never looked back. :starspin
born in Texas, everyone in my family is a Cowboys fan, therefore I am a Cowboys fan have been since I was a 1yr old toddler with a Bob Hayes jersey, over 40yrs of being and Cowboys fan, the only NFL team I have ever followed and will always follow, I am not one of those people that has a team in the NFC and the afc or just more than one team.
I came into the world about the same time the Cowboys did, so I've been a fan since I was old enough to know what a football game is.

The VA crisis can't be solved by Washington, D.C. alone
It's easy to cast blame for the VA crisis on leadership in Washington, D.C., yet many of those who led the call for Eric Shinseki's resignation are the exact same people who will tell you that the solutions to the nation's problems are not to be found in Washington. So I wonder—why are we settling for easy scapegoats here? And why are we expecting the Department of Veterans Affairs—a large, massive bureaucracy that has been plagued with problems since its inception—to somehow be able to fix itself?
Here's the thing: the Veterans Health Administration is the largest program run by the Department of Veterans Affairs, but it's not the only one; the VA also administers separate, large-scale offices for benefits and burial adminstrations. In addition to running those other programs, the VA operates the VHA as the nation's largest integrated health system, encompassing 150 medical centers and 1,400 community-based outpatient clinics in all 50 states, plus Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands, Guam, the Philippines, and American Samoa. Yet somehow we're expecting Washington, D.C., to keep tabs on all of these facilities all by their lonesome, and we're willing to hold the guy at the top entirely responsible for faraway locations that were essentially lying to administrators in D.C.. Meanwhile, we have designated offices in our local and state governments that are tasked with ensuring the welfare of their veterans. The question is this: why are we not asking why local and state veterans affairs offices didn't know what was happening to the veterans they are directly responsible for? Why are local and state officials evading responsibility here?
Successfully reintegrating veterans after they have come home requires local solutions—Washington DC will never understand the particular needs of a local veteran community as well as the people on the ground. It takes local leaders and advocates to identify gaps between the needs of those veterans and the benefits and services they're able to access, and to make those gaps known. The consequences of a breakdown in local leadership were egregiously evident at thePhoenix VA, where serious problems were covered up by administrative fraud that went unchecked until exposed by the national media.
This Phoenix case is now well-known. But less discussed is the fact that the City of Phoenix has a Military Veterans Commission that meets at least quarterly to advise the Phoenix City Council on "all matters pertaining to the affairs of military veterans residing within the City of Phoenix." So where were those guys? Were they checking in on conditions at the hospital and surveying local veterans? Did they know this was happening? Did they bring this up to the Phoenix City Council, or Phoenix's Congressional delegation in D.C., or to VA administrators either locally or in D.C.? It is bad enough that administrators in Washington, D.C. didn't know what was going on in Phoenix; it's even worse that local officials charged with veterans' affairs had no idea what's happening to the veterans right in front of them. And if that wasn't enough, the Arizona Department of Veterans' Servicesis also based in Phoenix less than a mile away from the VA medical center. They allegedly go to work every day for veterans—yet apparently had no idea what was happening right down the street from them.
I am all for accountability—but as we demand accountability for VA officials, let's not forget the many other public officials we pay to ensure veterans at the state and local levels can access their benefits. American government works because we have overlap between federal, state, and local governments. The job of government is vast, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution for communities, counties, states, and regions as diverse and divergent as those found across our nation. And for that reason, we also rely on partnerships between government, the private sector, and nonprofits to ensure the delivery of benefits and critical services like those related to veterans.

Former South Lake Tahoe woman sentenced for filing false tax return
December 11, 2012
A U.S. District Judge sentenced former South Lake Tahoe resident Gwen Noel Luckett, 59, to two years in prison Monday and for filing a fraudulent tax return, according to a statement from federal prosecutors.
Luckett was also ordered to pay $605,692 in restitution to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service.
"According to the indictment, Luckett filed a fraudulent 2008 tax return in July 2009 with the Fresno Service Center claiming excessive federal tax withholding and investment expenses that she did not incur," the statement said.
Before filing the 2008 return, Luckett failed to file a return for at least the prior six years and obtained a $605,692 refund, according to prosecutors.

Charlotte, N.C. – The Brevard men's tennis team finished their weekend road swing with a victory, upsetting No. 36 Queens, 5-4, on Saturday afternoon. With the win, Brevard (4-1, 0-1 South Atlantic Conference) earned their first victory over a nationally-ranked team this season, while Queens (0-3, 0-2 Conference Carolinas) remains winless.
Brevard won two of three doubles points. Cole Altizer (Charlotte, N.C.) and Jarred Fisher (Prime Rose East, South Africa) lost to Christian Lee-Daigle (Tecumseh, Ontario) and Jonathan O'Rourke (Auckland, New Zealand), 8-4, but the Tornados won the next two flights. Andrew Thompson (San Antonio, Texas) and Konstantin Savelyev (Karaganda, Kazakhstan) doubled up Edwin Ramirez (Guayaquil, Ecuador) and Matthew Abramowitz (Scarsdale, N.Y.), 8-4 and Nate Lyles (Summerville, S.C.) and Heikki Riikonen (Kuopio, Finland) downed Patricio Calderon (Newmarket, Ontario) and James McKinzie (Austin, Tex.), 8-5.
The Royals won the three top-flight doubles points. Lee-Daigle defeated Savelyev, 6-1, 6-0, and O'Rourke beat Riikonen, 4-6, 7-5, 6-3. Ramirez took a three-setter over Lyles at the No. 3 spot, 3-6, 6-1, 6-1.
Brevard needed to win the final three singles matches for the upset, and they did just that. The No. 4 and No. 6 matches finished up first; Thompson beat Christopher Kennedy (Colorado Springs, Co.), 2-6, 6-2, 6-2 in the fourth-flight, and Shane Apps (Alpharetta, Ga.) whipped Abramowitz, 6-1, 6-2.
That meant that the No. 5 match between Altizer and McKinzie would decide the overall winner. Altizer won, 7-5, 6-3, to secure the victory for the Tornados.
Brevard returns to the court next Saturday at Pfeiffer. Queens plays Chowan Sunday at noon.

Harrogate, Tenn. - Erin Rollins led the way with six kills and Jordei Osby added five and three blocks as the Tornados opened their final road weekend of the season, but Blaire Fowler led Lincoln Memorial with 13 kills and 10 digs as the Tornados fell to the Railsplitters 25-22, 25-16, 25-7.
Ashlie Morrison added four kills for Brevard (6-23, 0-17 SAC) and Bethany Stevenson and Erin Cox combined for 18 set assists to pace the Tornados, while Lindsey Rogers had a team high 14 digs.
Jennifer Drum added nine kills to the Lincoln Memorial (21-5, 13-4 SAC) attack, while Kristen Cantrell led the Railsplitters defense with 15 digs. Chelsea Ferron also reached double digits in providing 10 digs for LMU, while Allison Beavers had a match high 20 set assists in the Railsplitters victory.
The first set featured 13 ties and 11 lead changes as both teams struggled to gain advantage in the set. The Tornados build their largest lead of the opening frame after a Morrison service ace put BC up 17-14, but back-to-back Fowler service aces fueled a 4-0 run by the Railsplitters as LMU went up 18-17. With the score knotted at 22 apiece, LMU took control behind a kill by Drum and a block by Kaitlin Walton and Megan Bell closed out the set in favor of the hosts, 25-22.
A Rollins kill evened the second set at seven, but LMU responded with a 9-1 run aided by a pair of service aces by Beavers to take control at 16-8. Back-to-back Rollins kills sparked a Brevard comeback as the Tornados went on an 8-2 run to bring it back to 18-16, but Brittany Pugh closed out the set for the Railsplitters, 25-16.
In the third set, Lincoln Memorial scored 17 of the first 21 points in the set to take control and after a kill by Cassie Smatana extended the match, Fowler closed out the Railsplitter victory after the 25-7 set win.
The Tornados wrap up the 2011 regular season on Saturday, November 5th as they travel to Jefferson City, Tenn. and the Holt Fieldhouse as they take on Carson-Newman. First serve between the Tornados and the Eagles is set for 5 p.m.

|An ant project used to repackage the AnonymousTVM.war file.
|An ant project wrapper of TVM administration commands.
|Text file containing the Apache 2.0 license the TVM is distributed under.
|Text file containing the license notice of the AWS SDK for Java.
|The compiled WAR file for the TVM. Used for installation in AWS Elastic Beanstalk.
Create a folder on your computer to receive the contents of the zip file, and then extract the file.
Create an IAM User for the TVM
Before you install the TVM, add a new user to your AWS Account that will be used by the TVM. By using a dedicated user with the TVM, you can control the permissions and user rights of users who obtain security tokens from the TVM. For an overview of user permissions, see Overview of Permissions in the Using IAM documentation.
|The access key ID and secret access key you generate in this step are needed when you install the token vending machine using AWS Elastic Beanstalk.
To add a user to your AWS account for the TVM
Start the IAM page of the AWS Management Console. In a browser, go to https://console.aws.amazon.com/iam/home. Sign in if you are presented with a Sign In screen.
On the Navigation pane of the console, click Users, and then click Create New Users.
In the Create User dialog box, under Enter User Names, in the first box type the user name you want to create.
Select the Generate an access key for each User check box, and then click Create.
Save the access key IDs and secret access keys to a credentials.csv file on your computer, click Download Credentials.
When you are finished downloading your users' security credentials, click Close Window.
Grant permissions to the TVM user. To attach a policy to the TVM user:
Select the TVM user in the IAM User Console, Select the Permissions tab, and then click Attach User Policy.
In the Manage User Permissions dialog box, click Custom Policy, and then click Select.
In the Edit Permissions dialog box, name the policy, and edit your policy document to contain the following then click Apply Policy.
The following policy statement is an example. You should modify this policy to suit the needs of your application. Use the TVM user policy to restrict the permissions of registered users. The TVM user policy establishes the broadest set of permissions for registered users. In the following example, the first two policies enable the TVM to retrieve and manage the temporary security credentials; you should not modify these unless you are making substantial changes to the TVM's architecture. The next five policies enable the mobile application itself to fully access Amazon SimpleDB, Amazon DynamoDB, Amazon SQS, Amazon S3, and Amazon SNS. The policy below is intended to enable the sample applications provided for the AWS SDK for iOS and the AWS SDK for Android. We strongly recommend that you restrict these permissions to the minimum set of services, actions, and resources necessary for your application. For more information on creating the appropriate policy for your application see the additional resources below.
Also, the Token Vending Machine applies a policy on the temporary credentials it returns. As with the TVM user policy above, you should also update the policy for the temporary credentials to be appropriate for your application. This policy must be a subset of the policy defined for your IAM user. Otherwise, you will encounter an error. If you restrict the IAM user policy provided here you must also restrict the policy contained in the TVM. The policy applied to temporary credentials can be found in the file TokenVendingMachinePolicy.json.
{ "Statement": [ { "Effect": "Allow", "Action": "sts:GetFederationToken", "Resource": "*" }, { "Effect": "Allow", "Action": "iam:GetUser", "Resource": "*" }, { "Effect": "Allow", "Action": "sdb:*", "Resource": "*" }, { "Effect":"Allow", "Action":"dynamodb:*", "Resource":"*" }, { "Effect": "Allow", "Action": "sqs:*", "Resource": "*" }, { "Effect": "Allow", "Action": "s3:*", "Resource": "*" }, { "Action": "sns:*", "Effect": "Allow", "Resource": "*" } ] }
Create the AWS Elastic Beanstalk application
To launch the AWS Elastic Beanstalk application:
In the AWS Management Console, sign in, and navigate to AWS Elastic Beanstalk.
Click Customize... and then Start to create a new application.
Provide the application details.
In the Upload New Version dialog box, in the Version Label text box, type a name for the TVM application.
In the Description field, type a brief description for the TVM application.
Under Container Type, select the container type that you want. However, the container must be running Tomcat. The TVM will run on any of the Tomcat container types available.
Select Upload Application.
Click Browse, and then select the
Click Continue.
Provide the environment details.
On the Environment Details page, ensure that the Launch a new environment running this application check box is selected.
Do not select the Create an RDS DB Instance with this environment check box.
In the Environment Name box, type a name for your environment.
Note: The Environment URL field is automatically based on the Environment Name, and it must be unique.
Click the Check Availability button to confirm that the URL is unique. If the environment URL is unavailable, change the Environment Name or Environment URL. You will need to use a different name that the one used in the screen capture.
In the Description field, enter a brief description of the environment.
Click Continue.
Provide the configuration details.
On the Configuration Details page, in the Instance Type box, select t1.micro. Any instance type will do, but the t1.micro is the best value and can be scaled up as needed.
(Optional) In the Existing Key Pair box, type a key pair. The TVM does not require a key pair unless you are enabling remote access to the environment.
(Optional) In the Email Address box, type your email address.
In the Application Health Check URL box, accept the value /.
Click Continue.
Review the application information.
On the Review page, confirm that the settings are correct, and then click Finish.
AWS Elastic Beanstalk will launch the TVM. Once the TVM is up and running, configure it using the instructions in the next section.
Configure the TVM for your application
In the AWS Management Console go to the AWS Elastic Beanstalk page.
Click Actions, and then click Edit/Load Configuration.
In the Edit Configuration dialog box, click the Container tab, and then scroll down to the Environment Properties section.
In the AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_KEY boxes, type the access key and secret key, respectively, that you obtained when you created the IAM user, and then click Apply Changes.
Run the TVM Mobile Samples
The AWS SDK for Android and the AWS SDK for iOS contain sample mobile client applications that demonstrate using the TVM in a typical application. For information about running the sample applications, see the SDK for the appropriate mobile platform.
Managing the TVM
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
For additional security, we recommend that you run the TVM using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). To configure your TVM installation to use SSL:
Obtain an SSL certificate. You must ensure that the certification authority that you use to sign your SSL certificate is one that is recognized as valid by your mobile operating system.
Download and install the IAM command line tools. See IAM command line tools.
- Upload the SSL certificate using the iam-servercertupload command. The result of this command will give you an IAM ARN for your certificate. See iam-serverupload.
Go to the AWS Elastic Beanstalk console to enable SSL support. Select a running environment and under Actions -> Edit Config -> Load Balancers, set the HTTPS port to either 443 or 8443 and then fill in the SSL Certificate Id with the ARN from the command executed above. See Configuring Elastic Load Balancing.
Once your configuration deployment finishes, you will have an AWS Elastic Beanstalk Environment whose ELB is using server-side HTTPS.
- AWS SDK for Android
- AWS SDK for iOS

Post-Deployment: The Short-Term Reality
Article About:
You've waited weeks, months or possibly over a year for your spouse to return from a mission or deployment. You've fantasized day and night about the picture-perfect reunion – passionately running into your spouse's open arms with reckless abandon. (Never mind the fact that you're exhausted from spending the whole night cleaning, primping and calling friends and family!)
But the longer your spouse has been deployed, and the more danger he's faced, the more likely you both have changed. Even if the reunion goes as planned, challenges lie ahead.
When it comes to post-deployment marital issues, it's more likely that the "problem" lies with your marital expectations than with either of you. Most couples set the bar too high during early marriage, so you've probably encountered this same problem before.
If you've ever wished for a "do-over" of the newlywed years, here's your chance to employ a little more wisdom and grace this time around. With experience under your belt and God on your side, you can rebuild a beautiful marriage relationship on a solid foundation.

I have written twice in the last 20 months to praise our officers for using restraint when controlling violent encounters that could have turned deadly.
Now I have the pleasure of complimenting Deputy Tammy Wolf of the Lancaster County Sheriff's Office for her clear thinking and decisive actions that prevented the death of a comatose woman.
Thank you, Deputy Wolf. I feel secure walking the streets and driving the roads of Lancaster County because I know that if I have an emergency, you and your fellow officers will be there for me.
The morality of all the media died years ago. Our media was hijacked by far-left liberal progressives. The only good news is most of them will be history with the invention of the internet.
Outlets like the New York Times are failing financially. They like all the rest will implode on themselves. You can only favor one side for so long. Go look at MSNBC and CNN's ratings. At the bottom.
James McManus talks of anti-Hillary "drivel" in your Aug. 10 paper. What a joke! He should have read his own article. Talk about drivel!
I'd list all the lies and corruption of his idol Hillary, but why take up the whole paper. Besides, one who doesn't want to see, can't be made to see.
There's plenty of government people who belong in jail, but what's keeping them out is called corruption. It has metastasized into the norm in both parties. It's people with blinders, like Mr. McManus, that let it keep growing.
Editor's note: This letter responds to L. Brooks Walker's Sunday column headlined "Listen as Clinton parses words on Comey's e-mail testimony."
Brooks Walker may be onto something. I think he has figured out that politicians lie.
I never had considered this, so I googled lying politicians and got 26,600,000 hits.
He listed what he considers lots of lies and half truths told by politicians. I'm sure it's just a coincidence that all his examples were Democrats.
Editor's note: This letter responds to L. Brooks Walker's Sunday column headlined "Listen as Clinton parses words on Comey's e-mail testimony."
As I read yet another article by L. Brooks Walker in the Aug. 14 edition of The Lancaster News, I begin to wonder is he truly a guest columnist – it seems as though he writes a column per week – a right wing nut with too much time on his hands, or simply someone with an ax to grind with Democrats and Hillary.
I have never seen America – that's every town and state – in such a warring way. No one seems happy. They are all mad.
Do you not see this? Turn on your local TV station and see all the horror in your own town. It'll scare you!
There is no unity. America has never been so divided.
Don't blame Donald Trump. This has happened under Democrats. Phil Noble, y'all were going to unify us. What happened?
The case against Donald Trump can be summarized as follows:
He is a "mouthy" New Yorker. He is rude. He doesn't listen to advice. He is not a true Republican. He is a loose cannon. We just don't like him. His hair is disgraceful.
I think we can ignore the last two charges.
As to the others, here are some thoughts to put them in perspective.
Don't ignore the message because of the messenger. His message resonates with a large number of Americans, so deserves to be considered.
Parrots only repeat what they hear. They do not know or need any facts about the things they hear and repeat.
Greg Summers' great news report on the Let's Talk forum in Lancaster confirms this truth.
The Black Lives Matter crowd has created a narrative and refuses to allow facts to enter the discussion. Our local citizens and their leaders also do not want the truth to enter their discussions. They repeat only the narrative that the TV news reports.
To put things in perspective, the folks that constantly fill the Opinion Page with their drivel slamming Democrats and Hillary are the same folks that voted for Dubya Bush twice. I'm pretty sure that destroys any credibility they had.
The common theme is how Hillary is such a liar, while she really is the most vetted candidate in history. Republicans have had her under a microscope for decades…. Nothing!
If you have some info, contact Republican Trey Gowdy. He just spent two years and $7 million of your tax money and came up dry.
After my letter was printed in Friday's edition of The Lancaster News, steam came out of my ears.
My letter was edited – by the editor. I called the editor and spoke with him. I can't remember his name, but I learned a lot about who runs our local paper. He's not a fan of Fox News! I mean, why watch Fox? They're only Number 1, right?

am having same problem ... i tried bt 5 r1 and r2 in vmware but i cannot run Alfa Awus036nh on it even wicd says no wifi arround
chipset 2800usb i think
if someone found a solution that would be great
Going round and round trying to get alfa wireless card to work properly. If a change to dual-boot install rather then in VMware like I have now, will this eliminate the problem I am having with alfa card. I seem to remember reading that here, but I can't seem to find the thread that mention this Thanks for any and all help. btr2 in VMware playrer with wins XP
am having same problem ... i tried bt 5 r1 and r2 in vmware but i cannot run Alfa Awus036nh on it even wicd says no wifi arround
chipset 2800usb i think
if someone found a solution that would be great
Help us help you.
What does
orCode:dmesg | tail
show you?Code:iwconfig
I use BT5 to test, and keep in mind that is not "Final release", it has some issues, that is why we all have to test and try to find a solution. But when it comes to use something 100% functional, I use my BT4r2...very robust and stable..Proved and is based on BT4 Final release, another excellent choice.
Thank you for input. I believe I will take your advice and do dual-boot. I have just gotten rid of my VMware player; so as for ternarybit's question; I can't remember exactly, but alfa works great when running airmon and configured fine. I would see lots of networks and could get keys to all I tried. aireplay,aircrack it works fine. It is when I start Wicd that I see no networks. When I switch to Windows as long as I change the driver it really works well. Better than my atheros, which is decent wireless card, its just the two watts is killer. {don't think I am pushing two watts but its strong} THanks for your time fellas, but going to go with dual-boot and leave my troubles behind. AS a noob I greatly apperciate ya'lls input. Peace
I have no problem with this card in vmware. Have you tried killing the dhclient process?
Just one question, when running aircrack suite it works fine. Then start wicd and see no networks? is that it?
If so, doing /etc/init.d/wicd start will not change the card mode. This is, if card was in monitor mode it will no be switched to managed mode. Need to switch to "managed" mode..I belive the card remains in monitor mode..
Network manager uses a plugin called ifupdown (read only file), which reads the file /etc/network/interfaces and do its job just as describe in that file....But the file DO NOT states any managed or monitor mode, just inet Static or dhcp, auto, and some other parameters....
Try it...
Any way, my recomendation on Dual boot remains.

I have the same problem.
I can get it to work if i turn the vmware machine on and log into backtrack.
Then do
Airmon-ng check kill
Plug usb adpater in
Airmon-ng check kill
Airmon-ng start wlan0
aireplay-ng -9 mon0
However, if i attempt to change mac address this fails and i have to reboot the machine to get it to work again.
I have tried editing the interfaces and rc.local files to change the wlan0 default address. The addresses changes fine, but then i cannot get it to work anymore.
I have undone all my changes and it still doesnt work, so i will start a new vmware image, but you could try the above if you dont mind not being able to change MAC addresses on wlan0 or mon0.

San Francisco—The Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC) has released demographic data on the ethnicity, race, gender, gender identity, and sexual orientation of California state judges and justices. The information is available on the California Courts website.
The information is provided in compliance with Government Code section 12011.5(n), which requires the AOC to "collect and release" aggregate demographic data on the ethnicity, race, gender, gender identity, and sexual orientation of California state judges and justices, by specific jurisdiction, on or before March 1 of each year. The Governor and State Bar are required to collect and release the same demographic information for judicial applicants, appointees, and nominees.
This is the sixth year that the council has released this information. Added to this year's report for the first time are demographic data on gender identity and sexual orientation as required by Senate Bill 182 (Corbett), which was passed by the Legislature and signed into law by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger in 2011. The bill was sponsored by Equality California.
As in previous years, the law provides that the AOC must collect and release the information provided by judges and justices. It is entirely voluntary for justices and judges to provide it.
The data are displayed in charts reflecting justices and judges on the bench as of December 31, 2011. The data show:
The data show an increase in the percentage of female appellate court justices and trial court judges in 2011. Women now represent 31.1 percent of the judiciary, compared to 27.1 percent in 2006, continuing a steady upward trend over the past six years.
The data also show changes over the past six years in the percentage of justices and judges reported in the following race and ethnicity categories:
These changes reflect judicial retirements and other departures from the bench, new judicial appointments, and an increase in the number of trial court judges who have provided race/ethnicity information.
The additional data in this year's report regarding gender identity and sexual orientation include the following percentages:

BOTH managers were in agreement that referee Kevin Wright made the right decision to call-off Bury's League Two match at Accrington Stanley.
Shakers boss David Flitcroft and his Stanley counterpart James Beattie spent almost half an hour with the Cambridgeshire official out on the pitch before the decision was finally taken at 2.15pm to postpone the game.
And while fans waiting outside the turnstiles showed their frustration after such a late call, Flitcroft was adamant the match official got it "spot on".
"It was absolutely the right call by the referee," he said.
"He thought long and hard about it. He's got an assessor here and I think they have consulted as a committee and the referee has made the final decision, which I thought was absolutely spot on.
"He left it as late as he could, until 2.15pm, but we've been on the pitch and you could see the ball was not running true. He's got it right."
Large pools of standing water could be seen along the touchline bordering the main stand at the Store First Stadium, as well as in the corner flags.
The ball also kicked up spray in the centre circle as the match officials and both managers passed it between each other.
Beattie was satisfied that the referee had acted properly to come to the right decision.
"The referee was asking for input from both David (Flitcroft) and myself," he explained.
"He initially got us out at about 1.50pm and both Dave and I agreed to try and give it 20 minutes to see if the water would drain through the pitch.
"It didn't and the brighter weather that seemed to be coming from where the wind was blowing was becoming dark clouds, and there was more rain forecast, so the referee took the decision with Dave and my blessing to call the game off.
"There was standing water on the pitch, which is very unusual for this pitch.
"It wasn't just a case that there was standing water in one area, it was all over the pitch as you could see by his demonstration of the ball rolling when he was trying to pass it."
The Stanley boss did admit to frustration, however, after the pitch had initially stood up well to overnight rain before a torrential downpour after lunch pushed it over the edge.
"The pitch was magnificent and there have been a lot of games called off recently within this area where our pitch has stood up to the weather.
"But the deluge – from about 12.30pm to about 1.15pm – put paid to the game. The weather is becoming increasingly more severe and that downpour was just like something out of a film.
"The pitch succumbed to the water that came down and, as I say, there's not an awful lot we can do about the weather, we can't change that."

Thousands of Australian tourist are stranded on Fiji's main island as deadly cyclone Evan approaches.
Some boats and flights to resorts have been cancelled and popular tourist spots like the Mamanucas and Yassawas islands closed, with the category four storm expected to hit Fiji late on Sunday.
About 500 Australian school leavers were evacuated from Plantation Island and have secured flights out of the island just hours before a potentially deadly cyclone hits.
The students, from across Australia and New Zealand, were in the South Pacific as part of Unleased Travel 'schoolie' holidays.
Unleased Travel confirmed on its Facebook page that all students had boarded flights out of the Nadi, Fiji.
Parents of affected students have expressed their thanks, with Narelle Henney posting: ''Great news! Thanks so much for taking great care of our kids''.
The students were among 2700 Australians who left the island today.
Many already had tickets but some were originally left without a seat and faced the prospect of being left behind when category-four cyclone hits, estimated between 7am and midday tomorrow.
About 2000 Australians remain and will be forced to batten down and wait out the cyclone, which could produced winds up to 230km/h.
Blackburn mother Melissa Martyn, who is on a package holiday with her young family, said she had abandoned plans to stay four nights at Plantation Island Resort, one of those now closed to tourists.
Ms Martyn has instead hired a car with husband Aaron Alaimo to drive their children, aged 1 and 4, to the eastern side of Viti Levu.
''It's a little scary, but we are heading to the safer part of the island,'' she said. ''Having little kids means I have to take action, I can't just wait, wait, wait for updates.''
She said other Australian tourists were waiting it out in transit hotels in Nadi, near the international airport.
Ms Martyn is already more than $2000 out of pocket because of the change of plans but is hoping to recoup some on travel insurance.
''It's cyclone season and if you book a holiday in the tropics, you take your chances.''
Some Australians reported having received a text from the Australian High Commission advising that travel advice had been updated for Fiji.
''Seek shelter, monitor news, obey local authorities. Please take care,'' it read.
However, Ms Martyn said she had yet to receive such a text, even though she had registered with the Federal Government's Smart Traveller service.
''I checked the travel warnings before I left but there weren't any, the last update was in September, so we've had absolutely no advice from the government,'' Ms Martyn said.
Her brother, Tim Martyn, who lives and works in the Fijian capital of Suva, said there were fewer cars and people on the streets than usual, but the local Sunday market was still trading.
He and wife Sarah are among Suva's workforce who were told to stay home from their jobs on Monday.
Cyclone shutters were being put up on windows and people were stocking up on water, cans of food and kerosine lamps in case the power goes out, he said.
''This is life in the tropics,'' he said. ''If it's not a cyclone, it's floods, or it's a tsunami. People are a bit flippant but because people have died in Samoa, people are being a bit more cautious.''
Cyclone Evan killed at least four people in Samoa and left 3000 in temporary accommodation as it ripped through houses, knocked down power poles and trees, and caused flooding earlier this week.
Fiji's Prime Minister Frank Bainimarama told the Australian Broadcasting Corp: ''I cannot stress how serious this is - every Fijian will be affected".
''(The cyclone) has winds up to 180 kilometres an hour which may intensify, and if the weather forecasters are correct it will affect Fiji in a very damaging way, bringing about destructive winds and flooding,'' he said.

This makes NO sense. Not only is it unreasonable to expect them to hold emails for him when they are juggling upwards of 20 projects at a time, what difference does it make when they are sent? If he's back in on Thursday, that's when he can reply. Doesn't matter if it was sent Tuesday night or Thursday morning! PLUS, why should the agency have to also track what days he's in the office or not?
I stopped doing cross-stitch a while ago (don't seem to have the time anymore). But when I did, friends and family frequently asked 'Is that for me?" when they saw me making something. Without any hint of the project being for them, they were basically just asking for the item in my hands. And when I said no, that I had other plans for it, they got really huffy. "Well, when ARE you going to make me something?"It got pretty annoying.

"Well, when ARE you going to make me something?"It got pretty annoying.I'm sure it would be very annoying, if they meant it!But this reminded me of a happy family memory. My oldest aunt was making a Cathedral Windows quilt. This involves a lot of handwork, so she was carrying it with her to all the family gatherings. Each of her SILs would joke that she was making it for HER. My aunt would just smile. This went on for a couple of years.Then, one day, a large box arrived at our house. My mother opened it, and it was the Cathedral Windows quilt. She sat down on the porch steps with the quilt in her lap, and cried.Mom still uses the quilt on her bed.
I've seen Cathedral Window quilts and they are beautiful. I've read the instructions for making them--they are intricate and involve a lot of handsewing. I'd love one, but I don't think I have the patience to make one.
The "you stole my chair" reminded me of this gem...I once worked in an office where my chair was one of those wooden barstools with no back and no cushioning. It was horrid on a regular basis, but shear agony after I suffered a back injury. I couldn't get my cheap bacon-fed knave manager to replace it, HR refused to get involved. I finally got so (Oh, I'm a pottymouth extraordinaire!) fed up, I went and bought my own chair.My manager threw quite the hissy fit because I now had a nicer chair than him. He tried swapping them. I swapped them back and told him he stole my personal property and if he did it again I would file theft charges against him. He was just astounded that I would be offended that he borrowed my chair.I actually labeled the underside of the seat with "this chair is the personal property of Dazi, purchased xx/xx/xxxx from Office Depot" and I kept the receipt. When I left that job, I took my chair with me. The manager had security stop and demanded that I leave it as it was company property. Security happily let me leave with my chair when I had them flip the chair to read the quite old label and a copy of the receipt and warranty in my name. Boy was he livid pissed.So glad I quit that job. BTW, this was the same manager that demanded I cut my wedding/honeymoon short. He was such a wingadingdingy.
This is the story of how I was uninvited from my own trip by a third party.DH and I go to a tattoo artist about 2 hours away. We are both getting new tattoos, and DH's cousin Billy wants to get one as well. We made an appointment to go see our tattoo guy next month. We asked DH's sister Marie to watch our DS for the day (we will pay her) and I took time off work.Billy and Marie are close, and apparently Billy told Marie it would be okay if she and DS came along with us. It's completely ridiculous to take a 2-year-old to an all-day tattooing appointment, even if you do have someone there to watch him. And we know that if DH and I are there, Marie won't actually watch DS much at all. There is also a logistics issue, so Marie going was pretty much impossible. [Billy didn't think things through, but he was just clueless.] So DH talked to Marie and explained why it really wouldn't work out. Since she wanted to go along to spend time with DH and Billy, they agreed that they will hang out all together another time. Everything was fine and dandy, until...DH got a call from Joe, Marie's boyfriend. Joe lit into DH about how it's "just not right" to exclude Marie, how he shouldn't be using her (by paying her $10/hour and a free oil change?), and said that we need to find a way to include her. Remember that this is about logistics as much as the fact that Marie was going to be watching DS.Finally Joe says, "Well, I'm sure CakeBeret won't mind then." Mind what, you ask? "She'll have to stay home with DS so Marie can go."Oh no. Oh heck no. This is the trip that *I* planned. The trip that I took time off work for. The trip on which I'm supposed to be getting a tattoo. But Joe thinks I should spend my time off work staying home with DS so Marie can go and hang out. If Marie doesn't want to watch DS, that's fine, we can find another sitter, no problem. But I'm not staying home just so she can go on *my* trip.DH replied, "You have got to be out of your [expletive] mind." Joe said no he wasn't, it was the only solution. DH hung up on him.As it turns out, Marie is now furious with Joe for interfering, because she is perfectly fine with not going. She agrees that it's ridiculous to expect me to stay home. So we're proceeding according to plan and everyone except Joe is happy.
Was your Mom the ONLY one who didn't pester your Aunt?
I remember a story from xh. We had been separated for over a year, but the divorce wasn't final yet because of custody issues. And he was working for his step-father, under the table, so he reported super low income levels to get out of paying child support.One day he called me and said that his sister was heading over to my place to get my zoo membership card. Not even asking, just telling me that she would be there in about 15 min and needed the card. I, of course, said no. Mind you, we had been separated for over a year now, so my current membership would have been paid for entirely by me. Also, I wasn't even home at the moment. To top it off, members need to present their card and ID so that people don't just hand off their cards to other people to get them into the zoo for free. xh then told me that if I wasn't home, I would have to drive to the zoo (45min away), and give his sister my card and driver's license. Yeah, there's no way that was going to happen.

Ship Weight:1.90 Servings:25 Dosage:1 Scoop(s) Flavor:Orange Splash Click here to read a PDF brochure on this product 1st Endurance EFS Energizing Sports Drink Orange Splash - 1.8 lbs. (800g) Formerly Tangerine Flavored First Endurance EFS Energizing Sports Drink Orange Splash is unlike any other endurance drink mix available. EFS drinks provide everything you need to maximize endurance and performance during exercise. You'll notice the difference right away too. With the latest amino acid technology, superior mineral bioavailability and the addition of Malic Acid, EFS drinks refuel working muscles faster than ever before. Plus they taste great, not chalky or overpoweringly sweet. And with the highest electrolyte content available (1160mg of all 5 electrolytes/serving), there's no need to carry those extra electrolyte pills or add anything else. You can train and race with confidence knowing you don't have to worry about cramping or dehydration. Times have changed. Provides Complex and Simple Carbohydrates for Superior Energy and Endurance Delivers 1000mg Electrolytes Per Serving Prevents Cramping and Dehydration Provides Free Form Amino Acids to Delay Mental Fatigue EFS (Electrolyte Fuel System) is a family of products at the forefront of endurance nutrition that combines the latest clinical research with input from elite endurance athletes. Containing an ideal blend of simple and complex carbohydrates, amino acids, antioxidants and electrolytes, EFS products provide endurance athletes the nutrients they need to fuel working muscles and increase endurance during exercise. More In-Depth InformationThe Highest Electrolyte Content AvailableClinical research shows endurance athletes require much higher levels of electrolytes than most sports drinks provide to prevent cramping and dehydration. The new EFS drinks now contains over 1,160mg of all 5 electrolytes per serving, more than any electrolyte drink on the market. The Latest Amino Acid TechnologyThe Amino Acids in the EFS drinks are AjiPure amino acids, the purest, most- bioavailable source of free-form amino acids available. AjiPure amino acids have purity levels of 99%-100%. This results in faster and more complete absorption. Superior Calcium BioavailabilityThe new EFS formulas utilize two unique sources of calcium and magnesium. DiCalcium malate and Dimagnesium malate have superior bioavailability compared to other mineral sources. In a bioavailability study, absorption rates were between 20% and 100% higher using DiCalcium and DiMagnesium malates. Now With More Malic AcidThe new EFS drink contains 700mg of Malic Acid, which was not found in the previous formula. Malic acid stimulates oxygen consumption by increasing mitochondrial uptake, improving mitochondrial respiration and increasing energy production. Malic acid is essential in the formation of ATP, the body's energy source. Malic acid allows the body to make ATP more efficiently, even under low oxygen, or hypoxic conditions.1st Endurance Questions & AnswersWhat is EFS?EFS is a new energy drink that provides endurance athletes with the nutrients they need to fuel working muscles and increase endurance during exercise. The EFS formula utilizes the latest clinical research on endurance nutrition and input from some of the best endurance athletes in the world. What electrolyte upgrades can we find in the new EFS? There are now 300mg of sodium per serving in the new EFS drink (previous formula had 270mg). This represents the highest sodium content in any electrolyte drink on the market. The EFS formula now offers over 1,160mg of electrolytes coming from all 5 electrolytes, per serving. Furthermore these superior minerals also offer a buffering of stomach acids. DiCalcium and DiMagnesium malate lower stomach acids significantly helping to reduce the unwanted gastric distress that can be associated with other minerals. Are there any changes to the amino acids? The Amino Acids in the EFS drinks are AjiPure amino acids, the purest, most- bioavailable source of free-form amino acids available. AjiPure amino acids have purity levels of 99%-100%. This results in faster and more complete absorption. The new EFS drinks now have Malic Acid, why is this important? The new EFS drink contains 700mg of Malic Acid, which was not found in the previous formula. Malic acid stimulates oxygen consumption by increasing mitochondrial uptake, improving mitochondrial respiration and increasing energy production. Malic acid is essential in the formation of ATP, the body's energy source. Malic acid allows the body to make ATP more efficiently, even under low oxygen, or hypoxic conditions. During anaerobic conditions, malic acid has an ability to remove the accumulation of reducing equivalents. Human studies have shown that after endurance training, athletes' muscles were characterized by a 50% increase in the malate-aspartate redox shuttle enzymes. Did the flavors change? Yes, the new formulas went through extensive flavor testing in the most demanding races in the world. Their pro athletes tested the new formulas during the Tour de France, Ironman Hawaii and various other cycling, triathlon and running races. They used this extensive feedback to create all new low sweetness, mild flavors that are very palatable during a wide variety of environmental conditions. The new EFS formulas are all free of any artificial sweeteners, colors and flavors. All formulas use 100% natural flavors and contain NO color. This allows athletes to use EFS not having to worry about staining water bottles. The new flavors, especially the Grape and Orange do well up to 2X the recommended concentration. I've heard that there are benefits to having protein during exercise. Why doesn't EFS contain protein?EFS contains 2g Free Form Amino Acids per serving which is the equivalent in BCAA and Glutamine profile to 9g Whey Protein. Protein naturally contains Branched Chain Amino Acids and Glutamine. Clinical evidence supporting the use of Branched Chain Amino acids and Glutamine during exercise dates back to 1991. These clinical studies clearly indicate supplementing with as little as 1g Free Form Amino Acids improved performance, reduced post-exercise muscle damage, improved muscle glycogen resynthesis, reduced central fatigue and improved rate of perceived exertion. These are the same claims made by the 'NEW' Protein study and clearly support a mechanism for improved performance. The First Endurance Research Board sides with the abundance of clinical studies supporting improved endurance performance while supplementing with Amino Acids during exercise. In addition to the clinical support, other factors lead to a decision to use these Free Form Amino Acids over complete proteins. Proteins are more difficult to digest than Amino Acids during exercise Proteins don't taste very good during exercise Proteins can reduce the glycemic index of a drink, further reducing its ability to be quickly absorbed There is considerably more evidence supporting Free Form Amino acids than complete proteins What are the benefits of using EFS during exercise?The benefits of EFS are: Supplying fast and sustained energy for muscles Improved fluid absorption Reduced cramping and dehydration Improved performance Easy to digest and absorb Improved glycogen resynthesis Delayed central (mental) fatigue Replenish electrolyte loss How does it taste?EFS is a light, great-tasting energy drink that's sweetened and flavored with 100% natural ingredients. Because EFS is low in sweetness, there is no need to dilute the recommended serving allowing you to drink it full strength. Unlike energy drinks that contain complete proteins, EFS is not chalky and thick. The benefit is a potent, easy to digest energy drink which delivers all the nutrients like they were intended (full strength). EFS is available in four refreshing flavors: Lemon-Lime, Fruit Punch, Mild Grape, and Orange Splash. How much EFS should I use during my training and racing?Clinical research shows that a 6-8% solution delivering between 45-60g carbohydrates, >1000mg Amino Acids, 400-600mg sodium and equivalent balance in all electrolytes should be taken every hour during exercise. EFS is designed to maximize all these levels. Athletes should consume one serving for every 30 minutes of intense exercise. Adjustments should be made based on body weight, training state, heat, individual sweat rates and preference. Use one serving for every 30 minutes as a starting point and adjust as necessary from there. What types of athletes should be taking EFS?The following symptoms will all benefit from use of EFS 1) Athletes which experience cramping from strenuous exercise. 2) All athletes who demand rapid fluid absorption in order to stay hydrated. 3) Athletes who want all the benefits of protein without the heavy/chalky consistency of protein drinks. Essentially any athlete exercising for one hour or more will benefit from the use of EFS in their training and racing. Should I use EFS even when it's cold, like during XC ski races?Cold weather sports still put a considerable fluid and electrolyte demand on the athlete. EFS works just as well in the cold as is the heat. The high sodium content in EFS may even help reduce the drinks propensity to freeze. (this has not been tested). Should I use EFS in short races?Short races generally don't put a heavy demand on your glycogen, carbohydrate stores, given that you are well nourished prior to the start of the race. During a short race athletes can be slowed significantly from cramping and electrolyte imbalance. A serving of EFS can be used 15-30 minutes prior to a short race to assure adequate carbohydrates and electrolytes are available for the intense effort. Short race is defined as one lasting less than one hour. Should I use EFS in long races?During long races (3 hours+) considerable stress is put on an athlete's body. 1) Glycogen (energy) stores are depleted 2) cells experience damage from cellular oxidation 3) electrolytes are depleted and 4) amino acids are depleted. 1) EFS replenishes glycogen by using a mix of high glycemic carbohydrates including both simple and complex sugars. This easy to digest mix is rapidly absorbed and delivers fast and long term energy. 2) Formulated with 120mg (200% RDA) of Vitamin C per serving, EFS helps protect cells from oxidation keeping the immune system stronger for better training and faster racing. A depleted immune system can cause upper respiratory distress which generally accompanies long exhaustive exercise. 3) EFS provides the most potent electrolyte profile available. The combination of all five electrolytes deliver a potent 1040mg per serving, helping to prevent cramping. The 300mgs sodium per serving also aids in maximum fluid absorption so you stay hydrated throughout your training and racing. Supplementing with additional salt tabs, electrolyte tabs, or salty snacks is no longer needed when using EFS. 4) 2000mg of Amino Acids offers the same BCAA and Glutamine levels as 9g Whey Protein. These amino acids have clinically shown to improve performance, reduced post-exercise muscle damage, improve muscle glycogen resynthesis, reduced central fatigue and improved rate of perceived exertion. What's the carbohydrate source in EFS?EFS replenishes glycogen by using a mix of high glycemic carbohydrates including both simple and complex sugars. This easy to digest mix is rapidly absorbed and delivers fast and long term energy. I am prone to cramping during longer training and racing. Will EFS help me with cramping problems? Nutritionally cramping stem from electrolyte imbalance, electrolyte depletion and/or dehydration,. EFS provides the most potent electrolyte profile available. The combination of all five electrolytes deliver a potent 1040mg per serving, helping to prevent cramping. The 300mgs sodium per serving also aids in maximum fluid absorption so you stay hydrated throughout your training and racing. Supplementing with additional salt tabs, electrolyte tabs, or salty snacks is no longer needed when using EFS. How many servings are in a container of EFS?There are 25 servings per container of EFSAbout 1st EnduranceFirst Endurance was started by two racing fanatics (a cyclist and a triathlete) with a healthy obsession for sports nutrition. The idea was simple. They wanted to give endurance athletes access to formulas that are developed for one specific reason-to maximize endurance performance. At First Endurance, their approach is different. Because of their core values and uncompromising standards, they develop the best products available. They are committed to using only the highest-quality ingredients. They employ the latest technological advancements and demand the finest packaging materials to protect the product from the elements (moisture, oxygen and UV degradation). Only when they are 100% satisfied that these standards are met, do they offer the products to you. Their MissionIntegrate their passion for racing, knowledge of sports nutrition, integrity, and values to provide endurance athletes with the ultimate, scientifically validated, high-performance racing formulations. Commitment to Research Commitment to Quality Focus Innovation Active in the Racing Community Commitment to Racing Commitment to ResearchResearch is their most important value at First Endurance. They are driven by a desire to ensure their products are proven to enhance endurance performance and have scientific validation. At First Endurance, they refuse to reduce costs by using "pixie dust" amounts of ingredients just to dress up the label. Their formulations utilize the same levels (sometimes more) of the active ingredients that were used in the actual human scientific research. They are meticulous about research and go out of their way to make sure they have addressed each of their stringent requirements. All products that First Endurance develops are based on human scientific research. Commitment to QualityFirst Endurance uses only the finest ingredients and follows stringent quality control. Supplements can be easily ruined. Even if you buy the right ingredients, they can degrade quickly and loose their efficacy if they aren't handled under the most stringent controls. They are determined to ensure nothing goes wrong with any step of the way. For example, OPTYGEN is packaged in an amber glass bottle and utilizes colored capsules to reduce UV light, oxygen and moisture degradation, ensuring the highest quality, potency, and purity. FocusAt First Endurance, they are centered on endurance performance. Because they only focus on developing high-performance endurance formulations, they are the best at what they do. InnovationFirst Endurance is committed to advancing the state of the art. First Endurance's competitive strategy is based on having the best, patentable, formulations, technologies and delivery systems available. Active in the Racing CommunityFirst Endurance proudly supports the racing community. They sponsor five professional teams, and a number of other elite endurance athletes. They have a dynamic relationship with the First Endurance athletes. This collaboration allows their Research and Development team to continue to push the limits of endurance performance. Commitment to RacingEveryone who works at First Endurance races. Not just occasionally either, every week. They spend a lot of time packed in a car driving to early-season races (hopefully in warmer climates) and have stayed in more grungy hotels than they care to remember. They race when it is below freezing or raining sideways. They hang around the hotel after a race wondering when they'll get the feeling back in their feet. They know what it's like to chase a breakaway for an hour just to get a flat once they finally bridge the gap. Most importantly - they know what it takes to win races, when everything works out just right. They understand the work ethic, sacrifices, dedication and satisfaction that goes into every victory.

Units of Study
ECOS3019 - Capital and Dynamics
Semester 1, 2014 | Credit Points: 6
Coordinator: Graham Kenneth White
Fundamental to the theory of value, income distribution and output is a coherent treatment of the concept of capital. The definition and measurement of 'capital' is essential to the explanation of relative prices, and hence integral to any explanation of distributive shares in national income. It is also indispensable to a proper understanding of debates over the theory of output. The aim of the unit is to provide a comprehensive account of the different approaches to capital theory (e.g. in traditional aggregative neoclassical theory, general equilibrium theory and classical/Sraffian inspired models) and to highlight their significance for different views about value, distribution and output. This account necessarily involves some focus on the intersection of capital theory and the theory of dynamics as it applies to multi-sectoral/multi-commodity models, including growth theory, the dynamics of inter-industry competition, the analysis of technological progress and the intertemporal dynamics of production in the context of exhaustible natural resources.

After 10 weeks, the EPA group had lost an average of 1.6 pounds compared to 5 pounds for the non-EPA group. They also maintained muscle mass while the non-EPA group lost over 2 pounds of muscle.
Doctors said that EPA slowed the loss of body weight, maintained muscle and holds great promise for treating cancer-related malnutrition.
