Network Working Group P. Mohapatra Request for Comments: 5512 E. Rosen Category: Standards Track Cisco Systems, Inc. April 2009 The BGP Encapsulation Subsequent Address Family Identifier (SAFI) and the BGP Tunnel Encapsulation Attribute Status of This Memo This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the standardization state and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited. Copyright Notice Copyright (c) 2009 IETF Trust and the persons identified as the document authors. All rights reserved. This document is subject to BCP 78 and the IETF Trust's Legal Provisions Relating to IETF Documents in effect on the date of publication of this document (http://trustee.ietf.org/license-info). Please review these documents carefully, as they describe your rights and restrictions with respect to this document. Abstract In certain situations, transporting a packet from one Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) speaker to another (the BGP next hop) requires that the packet be encapsulated by the first BGP speaker and decapsulated by the second. To support these situations, there needs to be some agreement between the two BGP speakers with regard to the "encapsulation information", i.e., the format of the encapsulation header as well as the contents of various fields of the header. The encapsulation information need not be signaled for all encapsulation types. In cases where signaling is required (such as Layer Two Tunneling Protocol - Version 3 (L2TPv3) or Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) with key), this document specifies a method by which BGP speakers can signal encapsulation information to each other. The signaling is done by sending BGP updates using the Encapsulation Subsequent Address Family Identifier (SAFI) and the IPv4 or IPv6 Address Family Identifier (AFI). In cases where no encapsulation information needs to be signaled (such as GRE without Mohapatra & Rosen Standards Track [Page 1] RFC 5512 BGP Encapsulation SAFI and Tunnel Encapsulation April 2009 key), this document specifies a BGP extended community that can be attached to BGP UPDATE messages that carry payload prefixes in order to indicate the encapsulation protocol type to be used.

R1 must look up D in its forwarding table. Suppose that the "best match" route for D is route Q, where Q is a BGP-distributed route whose "BGP next hop" is router R2. And suppose further that the routers along the path from R1 to R2 have entries for R2 in their forwarding tables, but do NOT have entries for D in their forwarding tables. For example, the path from R1 to R2 may be part of a "BGP-free core", where there are no BGP- distributed routes at all in the core. Or, as in [MESH], D may be an IPv4 address while the intermediate routers along the path from R1 toShow full document text

Finding Joy on the Job
Having It All in Honolulu
For the past three years, Glen P. has earned a good living as a massage therapist. The Honolulu resident says the work is far more rewarding than his previous jobs, which included being a waiter and an executive at a property-management firm. "When I do massage, I have 100 percent positive feedback from every client interaction," he says.
Glen has always enjoyed giving massages, ever since he first tried it some 15 years ago. But until recently, his life outside work was a mess. "When I wasn't doing massage, it all fell apart," Glen recalls. "I was losing things -- my appointment book, phone, wallet -- and it got to be very disruptive."
Glen was afraid he might have a brain tumor. But a doctor identified the problem as ADD. "The ADD diagnosis gave me hope," Glen says. "I had the energy to do something about it." He started taking a stimulant, and, although he has mixed emotions about drug therapy, he calls the medication "a tool that enables me to learn and use new behaviors."
One problem Glen faced was burnout: He was on call day and night for 27 days a month -- and he hadn't had a vacation in years. Glen was also grappling with a desperate financial situation. "I had a boom-and-bust practice," he says. "I was as much as 12 months behind in my insurance billing, and I had nothing to put in the bank after doing six massages per day. That was discouraging."
With the help of New York City-based coach Jennifer Koretsky ( ADDManagement.com ), Glen revamped his scheduling and billing systems. Six months later, he felt less stressed, and his insurance reimbursements had risen 50 percent. Given his improved cash flow, he felt secure enough to spend time relaxing at the beach and to take a yoga class. He even allowed himself a month-long idyll in Italy -- an indulgence he's continued every year since. "I now know that if I send each of my clients a postcard from Italy, my business will go right back to where it was when I return,"he says.
"I used to have a paper calendar," explains Glen, "but I could never find it when the phone rang." To solve the problem, he bought a PDA and started making full use of its calendar feature, color-coding his appointments so he could tell at a glance which sessions took place in his office and which required travel. The PDA has proved useful in another way: to record Glen's frequent flashes of inspiration. "Before, by the time I got to my pen and pencil, the thought was gone," he explains. "So I started writing in my Palm Pilot, which I always have on hand."
The changes have helped Glen experience a feeling that he gives his clients: bliss. "In massage, client and therapist focus on the same thing for an hour -- it creates an amazing synergy," he says. "Now I have even more emotional energy at the end of the day than I did at the beginning."

Doolin-dalton / Desperado Reprise - Eagles
The queen of diamonds let you down,
She was just an empty fable
The queen of hearts you say you never met
Your twisted fate has found you out
And it' fin'lly turned the tables
Stole your dreams and paid you with regret
(Is there gonna be anything left, is there gonna be anything?)
You sealed your fate up a long time ago
(Ain't it hard when you're all alone in the center ring?)
Now there's no time left to borrow
(Is there gonna be anything left?)
Only stardust
(Maybe tomorrow)
Maybe tomorrow
Maybe tomorrow
Well the stage was set the sun was sinkin' low down
As they came to town to face another showdown
The lawmen cleared the people from the streets
"All you blood -thirsty bystanders, will you try to
find your seats?"
Watch 'em duelin'
High or low ,it's all the same
Easy money and faithless women
You will never kill the pain
Go down, Bill Doolin, don't you wonder why
Sooner or later we all have to die?
Sooner or later, that's a stone-cold fact,
Four men ride out and only three ride back

Today, the PFWA recognized
Allen burst onto the scene in a big way in 2013. The third round pick out of Cal led all rookies with 71 catches for 1,046 yards and eight touchdowns. He set the Chargers team rookie record for catches and yards, and was the first to post a 1,000-yard season in the NFL since A.J. Green in 2011. Allen posted consecutive 100-yard games on two occasions and was the first Chargers rookie to do so since 1960. His five total 100-yard games is also a San Diego rookie record. For his outstanding play, Allen won the Pepsi Next Rookie of the Week award four times and is now up for Rookie of the Year honors as well.
Meanwhile, Fluker contributed in a big way in his rookie season as well. The first round selection out of Alabama started all but one game, and in the middle of the season, he stepped up immensely by switching to left tackle for five games. What's most impressive about that move is that Fluker hadn't played left tackle since high school. He earned the Pepsi Next Rookie of the Week award in Week 7 after switching to left tackle for the game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. It is a rare feat for an offensive lineman to win that award and is a testament to the impact Fluker had as a rookie.
Join us in congratulating Keenan Allen and D.J. Fluker in the comments below!

AIM : To measure and calculate the frequencies of some common sounds, and to investigate the frequency spectrum of sounds through the Fourier transform.
Plug the microphone into the ULI and turn on the ULI. Start LoggerPro and open "Experiments/Physics with Computers/ Expt21/ Expt21". This starts the program that allows us to analyze sounds. The program just records a short sample of your sounds - so you will want to make sure they are constant or uniform so that the sample you get is indicative of the general sound.
You will first investigate five different tuning forks. For the first, strike it with the rubber mallet (or on your shoe) to make it ring. Bring it close to the microphone and then push "Collect". You shou7ld see a clean "sine-wave" shape repeated across the screen. (If not, try hitting again, softer or harder.) Draw a rough sketch of what you see.
Once you have a clean wave, click "Analyze" and then "Examine" . Measure the time at one peak (t1) and then the time at the fifth peak after the first one you picked (t2) Record them in the table below and find the difference between them - this is the time for 5 complete cycles, or 5 periods. Divide by 5 to get the period. The frequency of the wave is just 1/period. Record this. Compare each calculated frequency to the true tuning fork frequency by calculating the percentage difference.
Now, click on "Window/New wide window/FFT/FFT graph" . This will bring up a window that allows you to see all the frequencies that are actually present in the wave, and their relative amplitudes. This is called the "Fourier Transform" of the sound wave. Change the horizontal frequency scale to go from 0 to 2000 Hz. Change the vertical axis to go from 0 to 0.5. Take the tuning fork that was closest to the "true" frequency, strike it and record a clean wave. Draw a rough sketch of what you see in the "FFT" (Fourier Transform) window.
Now, sing a medium pitch note - yes, sing! Record the wave's shape:
Measure the frequency by recording the peak to peak times for one complete repeated shape.
Use the Fourier transform to see what frequencies were really present. Sketch it.
Repeat for the lowest note your group can sing. Draw the wave.
Repeat for the highest note your group can sing. Draw the wave.
Repeat for some other sound (whistle, bottle, ...). Draw the wave.

The last time we heard from emo godfathers Sunny Day Real Estate was in 2000 with their fourth studio album The Rising Tide. They eventually went on a reunion tour in 2009 and then brief reports came about them working on new material. Unfortunately, bassist Nate Mendel came out and stated that they "fell apart." Fast forward five years later, there's now confirmed news that the band will be releasing a new song titled "Lipton Switch."
Scheduled to be released on Record Store Day (April 19), the track will be available on a split vinyl limited to a pressing of 2,400 on burgundy and 100 on clear. The other side will feature Circa Survive's "Bad Heart."
Read the note published by Brendan Ekstrom from Circa Survive as to how the split came to fruition:
I went to see a few of the Sunny Day Real Estate shows when they toured in 2009 and I knew they'd written and recorded at least one song during that time. I got Jeremy Enigk's info from a mutual friend and emailed him asking if they had anything planned with the track. I knew they were on a hiatus and I hated the idea of that song never being released. Jeremy spoke with the other guys who all seemed interested to do the split I had I proposed. We had a B-side we'd been sitting on that had a mellower vibe which seemed to balance their more rocking song in a way that another upbeat jam might not have. I couldn't be more happy that this is happening. I honestly think this one of the best songs Sunny Day has ever written and I'm really happy that fans are going to get to hear it.
Check out the iconic music video for their track "Seven" which was released on their debut album Diary (1994) below:

The following post is brought to you by Squarespace. Our partners are hand-picked by the Design Milk team because they represent the best in design.
Having just moderated a talk about food and design, I have eating and designing on the brain. It seems like Squarespace has it on their mind, too. I love looking at restaurants' menus online before making a reservation but I always find them to be so cumbersome and awkward. From poorly-designed PDF menus to flash intros to hidden navigation, I am one click away from ordering a pizza instead.
Just like any other business, restaurants need to know how important their websites are to customers, and not only the desktop experience, but mobile as well. I don't know about you, but I usually look up a local restaurant when I'm in the car on the way somewhere (obviously not driving), walking in a neighborhood, or even just on the couch; I'm not typically sitting in front of my computer. Squarespace offers such a fantastic experience for restaurants that maximizes the important things I need to know: location, menu, contact info, and hours all while looking pretty on my computer and my phone.
Here are some of my favorite well-designed restaurant websites who use Squarespace. What their food tastes like, I don't know but maybe you do… so please share in the comments if you've ever been to any of these places!

When my crown came off, my dentist took x-rays with it in place and saw a tiny area on one edge where there was a gap. The crown is at least 15 years old. There was no decay on the tooth. The dentist said it was an area where decay might eventually occur, that the gap was larger than previously seen, and that I should replace the crown. How would the gap occur, why would it get larger if there is no decay, and why shouldn't I wait to see if there should be some decay before getting it replaced?
Should a Tiny Space at One Point Between an Otherwise Well-seated Crown Be a Reason for a New Crown?

I'm thinking Psychic or maybe Dark itself
Actually, Dark is super effective to Psychic. Ghost and Fighting are Super-effective. And Bug.I think that Psychic doesn't have any effect on Dark or Ghost.Call me Moon-san, I'll kill the articles. 00:45, February 10, 2011 (UTC)

Roman Marriage
Jul 13, 2004
Prior to 445 BC, intermarriage (connubium) between patricians and plebeians was forbidden. After that the children of such marriages took the social rank of the father, be it patrician or plebeian, regardless of the mother?s status. After both families had agreed to a marriage, and the consent of the parents or persons in authority was given, the marriage contract was drawn up and signed by both parties….

Charleston South Carolina
Real Weddings Rustic
Outdoor Wedding
Brown Green Taupe
The beautiful South Carolina light in this wedding, as seen through Andrew Celbuka's lens, is enough to make your heart skip a beat or two. I won't even touch on the rustic yet beautifully elegant wedding on hand, because I truly have been rendered speechless by the loving details from Ooh! Events, all of which can be seen right here.
From the stunning bride… I was in Dallas looking for a place to live because had I had just been promoted. There were a couple of girlfriends still living in Dallas from the first time that I lived there so my friend, Sarah, came to pick me up at my hotel to take me out. Once I got into the car she told me that we were going to meet up with one of her good guy friends from college. She just kept repeating that he was such a great guy and that his mother raised him right. At the time I wasn't really interested in meeting anyone because I wanted to focus on my new job!
At some point in the evening Sarah had to excuse herself from the table to go to the ladies room. Roughly an hour later Sarah walked back up to the table because she ran into a few friends. Sarah said she knew she would have one of two situations going on when she finally returned to the table. 1. I would be so irritated with her for leaving me with this guy for so long or 2. that Lee and I would have not skipped a beat in the conversation which is exactly what happened.
My family planned a trip to Dallas/Oklahoma for the weekend. The men were to go with Lee to his family's ranch in Oklahoma for a weekend of whitetail deer hunting and the women were to stay in Dallas for a fun filled weekend. Lee and I both wanted my sister and aunt to see the ranch because at that time we had decided on getting married at the ranch. So on Friday we drove up to Standing Rock Ranch after lunch to spend the night. (Little did I know that before all of this took place Lee had already driven from Dallas to Alabama to ask for permission from my aunt and uncle.)
When we got to the ranch Lee drove us around to see the property and then we picked up my uncle and cousin from the deer stands. Dinner was made and soon after Lee said he had to go prep a location for hunting the next morning. I had never known Lee to prep but I just let it go. Throughout the rest of the night Lee kept trying to convince me to go hunting with him the following morning, but I continued to be stubborn because I didn't want to leave my sister or aunt.
The next morning, before dawn, I got up and asked my aunt and sister if they wanted join us. They politely said that they would sleep in and that I should go with him. So off I went, no shower, no makeup and my hair on top of my head! First, we dropped off my uncle at a deer blind and the next my cousin. When we were pulling away from the last drop off Lee was so nervous that he backed into a tree. That then caused me to spill HIS coffee all over me. I was clearly not happy! He said that we were going to work on my long distance shooting from the hill top. Again, this was something completely out of the norm but I thought that this might be something he just never told me about. When we pulled up I noticed that the bench had moved from one side to another and Lee quickly said that one of the trees would have blocked my view if were sitting in that spot. Looking through some binoculars Lee said he spotted a big buck. I jumped out of the truck, sat on the left side of the bench, and started searching in the field below with my binoculars. After multiple sweeps of the grounds I started getting even more irritated with Lee because I couldn't find the deer. He said that his better binoculars were in his bag so getting onto his knees next to me he started going through his bag. The next thing I knew he said "hey" and when I looked over at him he was holding a box. At that point it was all tears and excitement. (My sister and aunt were watching us from the barn through binoculars!)
Lee of course couldn't stop there. The night before, when he was "prepping" the hunting location, he was actually setting up trail cameras "SpyPoint Trail Camera" on the trees next to the bench where he proposed. He set one to take pictures and one to video. So not only do we have the memory but we have a visual of the memory!
We were initially going to get married at his family's ranch in Oklahoma but after research we came to the conclusion that it would be too expensive. When that decision was made Lee and I were going to Charleston for one of my closest friend's baby showers. So before we left Lee initiated the idea of getting married in Charleston, which he knew was my dream! Being the planner that I am we contacted Lisa at Ooh! Events to help us focus in on a couple of venues to look at while we were in town. Without question I immediately knew we would look at Boone Hall because that plantation was a big part of why I fell in love with Charleston and wanted to go to school there.
We toured four venues in one day but there was no turning back when Lee saw the avenue of oaks with the Spanish moss. The only problem was that the plantation was booked until Fall 2014. What happened next was definitely the craziest thing I could have ever done let along consider.
Prior to Lee and I arriving in Charleston Lisa from Ooh! Events told me about a wedding cancellation at plantation but it was 2.5 months away. There was no way logistically that we could make it work…or so we thought!
After we found out that our family and the minister that I required to be the officiant could attend we jumped on the opportunity.
E. I wanted my wedding day to speak to both of our personalities. It was to be a day of rustic charm with sophisticated elegance. Incorporating and making hunting beautiful was the trickiest part because it can quickly turn into very tacky and redneck. So I asked myself what about hunting is elegant? Fur, feathers and antlers were what I came up with and that's what we put into it. From the Turkey feather bowtie and my matching belt to the feathers on the flower girls skirt we got such a great feminine touch. The antlers on the center pieces and mantle, excluding the bigger mount on the mantle, were all from Lee's family ranch in OK. We had an axis deer pillow made for the ring bearer which turned out beautiful even though it wasn't used. A big detail was using Lee's dog, Dixie as a big piece. She was the customized stamp for the invites and the same picture was used for the grooms cake. Dixie is a Boykin Spaniel which is the state dog of South Carolina, AND she is from South Carolina. Ooh! Events had such great rentals to helped add elegance inside the venue with two small sitting areas along with masculine pieces to add to the dock outside. We also added a boiled peanut bar outside because Lee has a big obsession with them. The napkins were a last minute detail that might be one of my favorites. For the guest book we wanted something that we were going to use and not put into a drawer to collect dust. So we had people burn their names into a wine crate that had been made into a storage ottoman.
Lee lost his mother roughly 2 years ago and I lost both of my parents by the age of 13. There were two very special moments that were just ours, Lee and I. At the ceremony we had two candles made with two wicks. They were already lite at the ceremony before everything got started. Each candle was placed into a hurricane with dirt from each parents grave. So, after everyone had walked to the reception site Lee and I both got to blow out the candles. It was our way of having our parents there! Then later in the evening, when Lee and I were about to leave in the get-a-way car we poured the dirt into the water off the dock. So we left a piece of "us" there.
Another special memory was the segment of the wedding where I was given away. Since both of my parents have passed I wanted to give credit to both of their families for raising me. My grandfather stood at the end of the 3rd aisle and waited for me while my uncle (mom's side) walked me down to him. At that point my grandfather took over walking me but my aunt and uncle followed behind. So I was given away by both sides of my family.
One more…..the minister. This man was the same person to perform both of my parents funerals. My family and I had lost touch with him over the years, but I had always told my aunt that I wanted him to be the officiant at my wedding. So upon engagement I searched him out on the internet. After a trip to meet with him, Lee and I were blessed with his acceptance to be the officiant at our wedding. Having him there was my way of tying it all together, my parents and my husband. It meant more to me than most of the other things at the wedding.

Therefore: Do not mix and match categories, e.g., sending in two short stories and a poem. Do not send works not in the categories above, e.g., a novel. The workshop revolves around the short story, the poem, the essay, and -- this year, apparently -- the one-act play. As a fellow, it is your work in one particular area that will be critiqued.
Don't send in more than the required number of works. The reviewers will not have time to read them all. In fact, just send in the minimum number, e.g., three stories or three essays or seven poems. Just make sure they're your best.
(It is possible to have one of your works in another category critiqued in the workshop, but this is arranged with the panelists during the workshop itself.)
Only unpublished manuscripts are accepted. Works which have previously won in literary contests will not be accepted.
This is because the purpose of the workshop is to improve one of your unpublished works, not an exercise in additional ego-stoking.
As to the format:
a diskette or CD containing the various submitted literary works encoded in Microsoft Word; a recommendation letter from a renowned writer or literature teacher; two 2x2 pictures; and a brief biodata or résumé.
Not specifically mentioned, but it would help if you include hardcopies of your work (sans byline). This will save Dr. Tiempo's staff the trouble of printing them out, and it will increase the chances of your work actually being read.


text: The FAA May Soon Allow Electronic Device Use During TakeoffJamie Condliffe3/19/12 5:16amFiled to: AirplanesFlyingElectronicdeviceKindleipadMp3176EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink Everybody hates having to stop reading ebooks, listening to music and playing Angry Birds during take-off. But it's not a fact of life; the FAA is rethinking its policy on using electronic devices during takeoff and landing. About. Bloody. Time. Advertisement According to a report by the New York Times, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is planning to take a "fresh look" at the ban on using electronic devices during taxi, takeoff, and landing. It is, however, not budging on phones; any changes will be for tablets, ereaders, MP3 players and the like.Currently, every single device that needs to be approved for use on planes has to be tested on an empty flight —one at a time. What's more, that has to be done on every plane in an airline's fleet. No wonder no airline bothers changing the status quo; it would cost a fortune. Advertisement So the FAA is planning to change that system, by working with "manufacturers, consumer electronic associations, aircraft and avionics manufacturers, airlines, pilots, flight attendants and passengers". It's six years since the FAA inspected the process—in which time we've seen pilots using iPads and the percentage of passenger bags containing Kindles rocket—but this time we might actually see a change.

Traveling can be expensive these days, especially if you drive to the destination, stay in a hotel, and pay for the tourist attractions. Most hotels charge per person, which cuts down on the age-old idea of cramming eight people into one room for a lower cost.
But there are solutions for people who do not have an endless supply of money. Here are some guidelines to save a few bucks on your next trip.
Craigslist rideshare. To avoid the high cost of airfare, you can search for rides to your destination on Craigslist. Rideshare allows people to post requests for passengers or to post requests for a ride. The driver could be looking for someone to split gas costs, or just want company for the ride. Remember, though, you can never be too careful with Craigslist. Always make sure to verify references and get a good feel for the person you choose to ride with.
Couch surfing is possibly the best travel idea to go viral. When you join couchsurfing.com, you have access to people all over the world willing to let you sleep at their house, and the best part is that you get to stay there free of charge. Check out the member's profile and personal references when choosing where to stay. The best part about couch surfing is that it allows you to experience real culture in the city you are visiting. You get to know a local person and, if you are lucky, they will spend time with you.
Grocery shopping is an area where you can save big money. First off, make sure to pack a bag of food for your road trip. A loaf of bread and peanut butter and jelly costs around five dollars and lasts for a while. Then when you arrive, if you are sleeping on somebody's couch, they will probably let you use their refrigerator, so go to the grocery store again and stock up on cheap lunchmeat and ramen noodles. If it is important to taste the local cuisine, plan how much you can spend and how many meals you can eat out. Buy enough groceries to live on for all your other meals.
Free is a key word. There is always something free to do while traveling. There are many museums open to the public at no charge. If you are couch surfing, ask in advance if your host will take you around the city to show you the sights. This way, you've just landed your own personal tour guide instead of someone jabbering your ear off with a scripted history of the city you are visiting. Unless it is the coolest tourist attraction in the world, try to avoid commercial tours because they are too expensive when you are on a tight budget. Instead, look for activities to do for free, like visiting public beaches or walking around city centers.
Student discounts are great to take advantage of if you are in that category, so do not forget to bring your student I.D. Look for any type of discounts to cut costs for yourself and make sure to ask locals for the whereabouts of discounts and specials. Search for Student Night at bars and clubs to save money on nightlife.
Keep your traveling costs low by following these guidelines for your next adventure. Traveling does not have to be a bank breaker if you actively seek out ways to save money on your trip. You do not have to be rich to have fun while on vacation, you just need to get creative.

Jerod Mayo told his younger brother Derek to 'stop biting on play-action' recently. (FILE:Icon/SMI) |
Jerod Mayo has obviously become an All-Pro linebacker here in the NFL, and now he's watching his brother play his college ball at the University of Richmond.
Mayo watched his brother Derek's performance via the internet and according to the Richmond Times-Dispatch had some advice that he sent via text:
"Stop biting on play-action."
Derek, who is 5-foot-10 218-pounds and also a linebacker for the University, told the newspaper that he watches the Patriots games when he can and focuses on the linebackers – trying to learn what he can from his brother and improve on his own game.
"When I watch a game, I usually focus on the linebackers, but especially Jerod," said Mayo. "He plays with great intensity, and he's a very smart player. I just try to pick up things he does and apply it to my game."
Interestingly enough, according to the article, Mayo's older brother Deron – who was a defensive end in college – did recently sign with the Broncos at the start of training camp but didn't make the team. He's reportedly still working on trying to break into the NFL.

Leaders of the world's major economies are planning a co-ordinated crackdown on people and corporations that evade taxes and shortchange public coffers.
The Group of 20 countries agreed to share tax records by 2015 as part of a pledge to crack down on individual tax cheats and global corporations that use complicated arrangements aimed at paying as little tax as possible.
The topic of taxation in a global economy has become a key political issue as multinational firms such as Apple and Starbucks face scrutiny about their low tax bills from the countries in which they make most of their money. Investigative reports into the use of offshore tax havens by the world's wealthiest individuals have added weight to the view that governments are missing out on much needed revenue.
As business increasingly moves online and international, the cash-strapped governments approved an aggressive timeline to adopt the automatic sharing of tax information. The deal was solidified after China, the last holdout, agreed to the plan just days before the summit in St. Petersburg.
"We are committed to automatic exchange of information as the new global standard," said the G20 final communiqué. Member countries will work out the details of the plan throughout 2014 with the goal of having the system in place by the end of 2015.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper called the tax exchange agreement "extremely positive," even though concerns remain to be addressed. "Obviously, there are many details to be worked out," he said. "I think we'll find as we go forward in discussions that those kinds of difficulties, or potential difficulties, those concerns will also be shared by a number of our partner countries so I'm confident that we can move forward on this in a way that's positive for everyone."
Albert Baker, national tax quality and risk leader at Deloitte LLP in Canada, said the information-sharing agreement is part of a broader package of sweeping potential new tax reforms endorsed by G20 leaders Friday. Many of the key initiatives are being developed by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development to harmonize tax policies globally.
"For multinational companies around the world, this could result in dramatic change," Mr. Baker said.
He said many countries have tailored their laws to attract business in certain areas – such as tax-friendly patent rules – and could face pressure to unwind their special structures. "The G20 supports it in principle, but it will be interesting to see over the next two years … whether the necessary level of co-operation among countries can in fact be achieved," Mr. Baker said.
Arthur Cockfield, a law professor at Queen's University in Kingston who studies international tax agreements, said the countries involved must be clear as to how the information will be protected.
"Governments will more effectively engage in automatic tax information exchanges if they have assurances that the transferred information will be protected by laws that are similar to their own laws that protect taxpayer rights," he said. "This should help overcome concerns when taxpayer information is transferred to countries such as Saudi Arabia, Russia and China, that may not have traditionally protected taxpayer rights to the extent expected under Canadian law."
Fred O'Riordan, tax policy leader at Ernst & Young LLP in Toronto, said it should be possible for G20 countries to share tax information because there are already many cases of bilateral information sharing, and countries have developed privacy standards with each other.
"Of course, the wider you cast the net, the more risk there could be leaks of information," Mr. O'Riordan said, "but I think all of the parties participating are well aware of those risks and are going to be implementing measures to safeguard privacy."
Domenico Lombardi of the Waterloo, Ont.-based Centre for International Governance Innovation, said the 2015 timeline is "ambitious" and questioned whether it will be met. "This is done on purpose to escalate pressure," said Mr. Lombardi, who attended the G20 summit as an observer.
A proposed U.S. law requiring foreign governments – including Canada – to report banking information involving U.S. citizens has already run into concerns from the Canadian government and attracted the attention of Canada's privacy commissioner.
Questions of privacy will likely increase given that the G20 includes non-democratic countries where human rights are a concern, including China and Saudi Arabia.
While the political attention in St. Petersburg has focused on the crisis in Syria, the G20 released numerous pages of communiqués, action plans and annex reports on their economic plans. Among the key points:
The G20 noted improved growth in the U.S., Japan and Europe, but that global growth prospects have been marked down repeatedly over the past year.
"Despite our actions, the recovery is too weak, and risks remain tilted to the downside. In the last months financial market volatility has increased," the G20 stated.
On monetary policy, the G20 noted the concern that actions by some countries can lead to unintended negative consequences elsewhere.
"We commit to co-operate to ensure that policies implemented to support domestic growth also support global growth and financial stability and to manage their spillovers on other countries," it stated.
In an accompanying "action plan," report, The U.S. Federal Reserve – where its quantitative easing policies have caused concern within the G20 – issued a statement on its plans.
"The Federal Reserve intends to continue its asset purchase program and employ its other policy tools as appropriate until the outlook for the labour market has improved substantially in a context of price stability," it states.

El Segundo CA (SPX) Mar 29, 2011 The first Reentry Breakup Recorder (REBR), an instrument designed and constructed by engineers at The Aerospace Corporation, is set to plunge to Earth on March 29, shortly after 7 p.m. Two REBRs were carried to the International Space Station (ISS) onboard a Japanese Kounotori2 spacecraft, also known as the HTV2, on Jan. 21. The REBR is a small autonomous device that is designed to record temperature, acceleration, rotation rate, and other data as a spacecraft reenters Earth's atmosphere. The REBRS will be attached to spacecraft returning to Earth from the ISS and will take measurements as the spacecraft breaks up during its reentry. The first REBR remained on the HTV2 and will make measurements during the spacecraft's return to Earth. The second REBR was moved by astronauts aboard the ISS to the Automated Transfer Vehicle-2 (ATV-2), a European Space Agency (ESA) unmanned vehicle launched Feb. 16 to deliver supplies to the ISS. The second REBR will make measurements aboard the ATV-2 during its reentry this summer. As the spacecraft reenter the atmosphere, they will begin to break apart. Simultaneously, the REBRs will begin collecting data - ultimately detaching from the disintegrating spacecraft and continuing their fall. Dr. Bill Ailor, director of Aerospace's Center for Orbital and Reentry Debris Studies and REBR development team leader, said that the REBR will be in freefall at approximately 60,000 feet. "It will make a phone call to Earth and have about five minutes to send its data before it lands in the Pacific Ocean." While the REBR is not designed to withstand the impact of striking the ocean, the recorder contains a GPS device that will allow scientists to know its landing location. Ailor notes that hazards associated with the reentries of space hardware have always been limited by a lack of information on what hardware actually survives the reentry process to hit the ground, and the response of the hardware to the reentry environment. "Hardware fragments can hit the ground anywhere along a footprint that is hundreds of miles long. Except for the Columbia accident, when the shuttle disintegrated over Texas during reentry into Earth's atmosphere, fewer than 250 fragments are known to have been recovered over the past 40 years, and only a very few of these fragments have been examined in detail," said Ailor. "Excluding the Columbia accident, virtually no useful telemetry has ever been received," Ailor added. "Since nearly 75 percent of Earth's surface is water, much of the reentered debris falls in water and is never seen." REBR was integrated and flown under the direction of the Department of Defense's Space Test Program. Its heat shield was designed and fabricated by the Boeing Company.

I have a tattoo located on my hip that I would like to have removed. Scarring is not a large concern as I am considering of conceal it under a bathing suit and undergarments.
Is Tattoo Removal by Excision Safe and Effective?
Doctor Answers 1
Surgical removal of a tattoo can leave you with a raised or spread scar. There would be a few weeks of limited physical activity during the healing. Laser removal can reduce the color or almost completely remove the tattoo without scarring (although there is a small risk).

Lawmakers eye synthetic drug use
ST. PAUL — Minnesota legislators are ready to take another stab at curtailing the use of synthetic drugs.
"It will take a family, it will take a village, a state and country," Lynn M. Habhegger of Carlton told the committee about what is needed to fix the problem. "It will take you and me."
Habhegger's son, Corey Kellis, now 27, took bath salts at least three times nearly three years ago. With tears in her eyes, she told committee members that he had a heart attack and other health issues and now is committed to a mental health facility.
Kellis always will be "a burden" on society, she said, and his care will cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Lt. Brad Penas of the Moorhead Police Department said the committee's recommendation will help his community, even though it is handing synthetic drugs better than most.
"Any support we can get will be beneficial to us in the future," Penas said.
Committee Chairman Erik Simonson, D-Duluth, went through the nine steps the committee proposes that the Legislature pass, saying they should help law enforcement officers and prosecutors slow the use of synthetic drugs:
* Expand the definition of drugs, giving the Pharmacy Board specific authority to deal with synthetic drugs.
* Allow the board to order businesses to stop selling synthetic drugs.
* Give the board permanent authority to deal with the compounds instead of the temporary authority it now works under.
* Let the board decide what synthetic drugs should be banned, without requiring specific legislative approval for each one; lawmakers, however, could overturn any board decision.
* Create a pilot project that trains prosecutors on how to best prosecute synthetic drug cases.
* Fund the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension work in testing synthetic drugs.
* Improve the state's effort to teach Minnesotans about dangers of the drugs.
* Require appropriate legislative committees to review drug abuse programs annually.
* Work with federal officials to encourage more nationwide efforts against synthetic drugs.
Simonson said he did not expect to ask for much money to fund the changes this year, but that likely would be an issue in 2015.
The chairman said the laws his committee proposes would slow down synthetic drug use. However, he said, many users may just turn to the Internet to buy products.
Minnesota Attorney General Lori Swanson and Simonson said the Internet is tough to regulate. Swanson said increasing public awareness should reduce Internet purchases.
Swanson said that synthetic drugs, often made in other countries, are dangerous and their chemical compositions vary from day to day.
"You never know what you are taking," she said.
Retail shops around the state, many in areas outside the Twin Cities, legally have sold products called bath salts, K2, spice and other words that do not give an indication of their danger, Swanson said. Laws since 2011 have made some of the products illegal, but minor chemical changes allow them to reappear on shelves.
Simonson said he just had obtained a report by the University of Minnesota Duluth that indicated one hospital trauma center, which he did not identify, treated 75 patients who used synthetic drugs in a year. Costs for the facility to help the patients ran $425,000.
A quarter of the patients arrived at the hospital via ambulance, with 44 percent coming with police. Twenty-three percent of the patients stayed at least four days in the intensive care unit.
One of the problems is that people see synthetic drugs sold in the open around their communities.
"When people can buy it in a store, people think it is safe," said Rep. Dan Schoen, D-St. Paul Park.

Magic and sex
The Pendant
Chapter One
Bobby found the box at the bottom of the pond we swim in. He had to dive down several times to work it free but finally swam to shore with it. We (Mike, Jake, Bobby, and I) sat there looking at it. It was wood bound with iron straps and it looked old. The lid wouldn't open and Jake picked up a rock and started pounding until the side caved in.
I know it was dumb. It might have been valuable and there were better ways to open it. But we were teenagers and brute force usually was the first thing to come into our minds.
There was a locket inside the box. Not a shiny locket with jewels. It was dull metal with geometric markings on it. Bobby said that if it was pretty he might have given it to a girl. If he had a girl we responded. Jake thought maybe we could sell it but none of us thought it looked valuable.
Mike finally took it and put it over his neck. There was a blurry shimmering effect and suddenly Mike was gone and there was a topless girl standing where he had been. We all stared, dumbstruck. Mike saw our expressions, looked down at "herself", shrieked in a girls voice, and tore the locked off his head. She shimmered again, like heat off a road in the summer, and there was Mike again.
Mike threw down the pendant and started running. Bobby and Jake waited a few seconds and then took off after Mike. I reached down, picked up the Pendant, and put it in my pocket. Then I ran to catch up with the others. They caught up with Mike in front of his house and were asking him if he was OK. He was totally freaked and explained how when he looked down his body had been a girl's. He didn't want anything to do with the pendant and said it must be black magic.
We finally got him to admit that he felt OK now. Whatever had happened had lasted only as long as he wore the pendant. Jake kidded Mike that he had nice tits and Mike got mad and made us all swear to never tell anyone what had happened. Seeing how mad he was we all agreed.
After that we all went our separate directions and I went home. I thought about what had happened as I walked home. I had the pendant and it hadn't done any permanent harm to Mike. It wouldn't hurt to try it out. My parents were not due home until dinner time so I had several hours of privacy.
I went into the bathroom and locked the door. I removed the shorts I had worn to swim in the lake and felt the weight of the pendant. I held the chain and wondered what it would feel like. There was a full length mirror on the inside of the bathroom door. I stared at my reflection as I lifted the chain over my head and felt the necklace against my chest.
There was that same ripple in the air around me and suddenly I was staring at a nude teenage girl. Her hair was the same color and style as mine both on my head and between my legs. She had some resemblance to a cousin of mine. Maybe his is what I would have looked like if I had been a girl.
I wondered if this was just some kind of illusion. The rack on my chest felt real. I could feel their weight. I brought my hands up to feel them and decided that it this was an illusion then it included touching as well as sight. I had my first chance to feel up some tits and I went to it, examining their feel and finally playing with the nipples. The nipples got hard and stuck out and I found they were a lot more sensitive than I was used to. I kept rubbing them and finally pulled one up far enough that I could tease it with the tip of my tongue.
I was getting really turned on and it felt strange because I didn't have an erection to go with it. I let go of my boobs and ran my hands down my sides to my hips. Damn I was hot. I ran the fingers of my right hand over my mound. It felt strange but good. There was no penis there and I had to reassure myself that it would come back as soon as I took off the pendant. I was really tempted to rip the pendant off that instant to make sure my guy would still be there but I was too turned on to stop.
Sitting on the rug I ran my hands over those feminine legs. I spread them and stared down at the first live naked pussy I had ever seen. I explored finding that I needed to be gentle. I pushed a finger inside the hole at the bottom and that felt strange. Not at all like a finger in the ass.
I may have looked like a girl but I still had a boy's attitude. Instead of thinking of reasons not to have sex I was ready to go for it right now.
I decided to be the first man to find out if a female orgasm was better than the male. I started rubbing my pussy with my right hand and tweaking nipples with my left. Soon I was so turned on I had to lay back with my knees bent. My pussy was wet and I used that to lubricate my clit and soon was focused on just that perfect little button. I felt the same getting close feeling but when the orgasm hit it was different. With no penis to spurt I wasn't focused down there but instead felt it all through my body.
I decided it was different, not better, just different. I continued to lightly caress my pussy as I enjoyed the afterglow. The next thing I knew I was rubbing more purposely and the feeling was starting again and more quickly this time. This was certainly different from the shoot once and be done cums I had as a male.
My second cum was stronger and I was going to have to say it was better. I didn't stop there but continued to make myself cum until finally my clit was sore from the rubbing and my back was aching from the floor.
I went ahead and took a shower with the pendant still on. It was a fantasy come true to be washing a girl's body. As I rinsed off I thought that the pendant could have been better. If it had made a separate copy of me then we could have fucked instead of just jilling off.
After drying off I removed the pendant. When the shimmering cleared there was my old male body staring back at me in the mirror. It seemed both familiar and very plain compared to the hot female body I had been wearing a minute before. Grabbing my penis I was sorry it hadn't gotten in on the action.
If someone else wore the pendant would I fuck them? Knowing they were really male. Remembering how hot I had looked I decided I probably would. And if I was wearing the pendant would I fuck a guy? I tried to rationalize to myself that I would be female when I did it so it would be OK. Right?
For now I stashed the pendant in my best hiding place right next to my porn. I would have to think on how it could be used. I would definitely being jilling off again with it. That was the sexiest thing I had ever done.

I'm a freshmen in high school. Puberty hit me a long time ago, around 3rd grade. I'm a black guy with an 8 and a half inch dick. Almost all of my sexual goals have been achieved, but I haven't had an asian experience yet.
"Hey Matt, whose that girl over there?" I said, pointing to this vietnamese-looking girl.
"Dude, that's Jamie." he replied, with a wicked gleam in his eye.
I thanked him, and made my way over there.I sat down inside of her personal space. Then, she gave me a big hug, thinking I was someone else. I looked at her, with suprise written over my face.
"I'm so sorry," she said, making me smile.
"I'ts okay, beautiful," I answered with a wink. "Can I get another hug?" I asked.
She wrapped her arm around me, and I did the same. I started to get aroused because of our contact, so I let her go. She looked at me with lust in her eyes. She put her hand on my thigh and started trying to feel my semi-hard rod. I didn't want to scare her, so I stood up, and started

Psalm 24:1-10 This psalm has special meaning to me because it is one of the psalms I memorized when I was in grammar school. The first thing we did each morning in school was pray the Lord's Prayer together, read a psalm and work on memorizing it, pledge allegiance to the flag and sing the national anthem. Can you imagine the stir this would cause in public schools today if this was done? It is illogical that God and country have been removed from our children's education when education has its roots in Christianity. The first schools that existed in our country were church schools. How I pray that one day we will be able to once again have freedom of speech that includes praying aloud in public schools. Until that time we as parents can teach our children the importance of honor for country and the value of the Word of God. We need to exhort our children to memorize Scriptures because the Word that is hidden in children's hearts at a young age will be with them always. I actually paid my boys to learn Proverbs. They were given $1 for every verse in Proverbs they memorized. When our Russian son took this on as a challenge, he just about broke me.
The verse I remember in this psalm is as follows: "Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in" (Ps. 24:9, KJV).
I have always wondered what that verse meant, but now I think the Holy Spirit has helped me to understand it. We are the temple of the living God, and there are gates and doors to that temple. We are a spirit, we have a soul, and we live in a body. The spirit is the holy of holies part of our tripart being. This is where we commune with God in the spirit. The soul has three parts—mind, will and emotions. The soul represents the inner court of the temple, and the body represents the outer court of the temple. The gates to our soul are our five senses—touch, taste, see, smell and hear. Everything that enters our souls enters through those gates. We have a responsibility to God to be careful about the material that enters these gates to our soul. This psalm also exhorts us not to lift up our souls unto vanity. Instead we are to lift our souls daily up to the Lord. This is what "Lift up your heads, O ye gates" means.
We are also to lift up or open up the doors to the Lord, and the promise is the King of glory will come in. The holy of holies in the physical temple was blocked from anyone entering except the high priest, and he was only allowed to enter once a year on the Day of Atonement. The mercy seat was behind a huge veil in the holy of holies. It was here at the mercy seat that the high priest communed with God and saw and felt His presence. We also have doors to our spirit (the holy of holies in our tripart being). Those doors are our hearts. We are to worship the Lord our God with all our minds and all our hearts. When we open the doors of our hearts to the Lord, we go boldly to the mercy seat and find grace in time of need.

When ischemic strokes occur, UC San Diego stroke physicians respond rapidly and accurately with medicines and endovascular procedures.
Julie Voigt went to a chiropractor who unknowingly damaged her carotid artery. First doctors failed to realize the severity of the problem. Then Voigt had a stroke. She was rushed to UC San Diego Medical Center where Dr. Alexander Khalessi performed surgery to remove a blockage in the brain and in the carotid artery in the neck.
Read about UC San Diego Health's record in getting tPA to ischemic stroke patients.
Tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) is the most common emergency stroke treatment medication. tPA works by dissolving arterial blood clots that block nourishment from getting to the brain. This life-saving medication is delivered intravenously to ischemic stroke patients within 4.5 hours of a stroke.
If there is a medical reason to avoid the use of tPA, UC San Diego neurovascular surgeons perform mechanical thrombectomy. We have access to the most leading-edge retrieval devices to remove blood clots. Our neurosurgeons train physicians throughout the country on the use of this specialized equipment. These devices include stentrievers (including Solitaire) and the Penumbra system. Endovascular thrombectomy can be performed up to 8 hours after a stroke.

Can be prepared in 45 minutes or less.

I loved this! I used Trader Joe's Lentils from the produce section - they are already cooked and ready to go in a bag. I added carrots cut into circles with the squash at the beginning. I used extra spinach since it shrinks so much in the soup. Use plenty of salt and pepper and it is excellent...the tomatoes are key...if they are not red and ripe, better to use canned diced tomatoes! I used tomatoes from the garden and they were very flavorful. I went light on the curry and my 5 year old loved it...it's the only time I was able to get her to eat spinach!
A couple of changes addressed the concerns from 2002, instead of plum tomatoes use heirloom type. Also try improvising your own curry powder by mixing coriander, ground cumin, ground ginger, cinnamon, and cloves with whatever else you prefer. Lentils usually do not cook in less than 40 minutes so try cooking them with vegetable bouillon while your doing the chopping or set them to soak in the morning for extra tender lentils at night.
This dish was very aesthetically pleasing with the bright red, yellow, and green. Unfortunately, the taste did not live up to its appearance. It was rather bland and boring, and even though I cooked it longer than indicated, the lentils were still too hard. I will look for a different lentil soup recipe before making this one again.
Very easy and quick to prepare. I used canned lentils which reduced the cooking time by a bit and added quite a bit more spinach. Will definitely make this again.

Nineteen recent alumnae of the University of Louisville women's lacrosse program released a letter Monday night defending their coach Kellie Young, who was hit with allegations of player mistreatment and misconduct in an investigative report in the Louisville Courier-Journal this past weekend.
RELATED: Original Courier-Journal report (Warning: vulgar language)
Six current or former Louisville players and a group of parents accused Young of physical punishment, mental abuse, vulgar name-calling and other mistreatment.
The following is the complete letter submitted Monday night to USA TODAY Sports:
To whom it may concern:
In light of the recent news surrounding the latest allegations against head coach, Kellie Young, we felt it necessary to cultivate an official statement to voice the sentiments of Ms. Young's former players.
We are deeply troubled by the article released by the Courier Journal. Every athlete at the University of Louisville is held to an elite standard to prepare, practice, and compete at the highest level within their respective sport. Kellie Young encouraged an atmosphere that made each and every player strive for excellence. Each player under Kellie Young has achieved something they never thought possible, whether it was a sub 6:15 mile time or a 4.0 GPA in the classroom. Kellie incepted a culture of academic and athletic superiority, which has helped us develop into the successful young professionals we are today.
As alumnae of a Division I program, we understand that not every athlete has the drive, discipline, and courage to take on the expectations of a tough coach. We support Kellie Young and are grateful to have had a coach that cared about our character as much as our player potential.

- - Bubble thing on Knee
Bubble thing on Knee Okay, so my right knee has been out of sorts for a while. It wasn't bad so I just kind of ignored it, but it hasn't gotten any better. If you look at my two knees, you can see that the right has an area of what looks like swelling. You can feel it, too, there's an area of raised skin that isn't there on my other knee. Pressing down does not cause pain, but my knee definitely has this dull ache and I haven't done anything today. If I'm doing anything active the area with the raised skin is also where the most pain tends to be. This has been there for at least a few days. If it helps, there was a past injury on the knee. We went to the Doctor's and they said it was a bone bruise, so we wrapped it and iced it. That was a long time ago, probably at least two years ago by now. I'd like to avoid going to the doctor's if possible...:lol: Thanks for any help! |
Have you tried icing it? |
Not recently. I will do that and report if it gets any better. |
R.I.C.E. is your initial treatment. Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation. Get a neoprene sleeve for compression, elevation is lying all the way down, with leg above your heart. 7 days unexplained pain... go to the dr. You could have torn something or maybe the RICE will work. |
I had something similar a few years ago. It was the fluid coming out from my knee joint. It started as a bump then it sorer and then it did its thing. Forget the medical term. But if it is something that has persisted for a few days it could also be serious. I would go to the dr. Even a phone call down to the office. Take care. |

"We are so VERY grateful for what you have done to give Debbie some recognition. She absolutely loved the prize package. The dinners too. They are delicious and great for a Caregiver. We had our 40th Wedding anniversary on Sunday so we had a friend take the picture. Please tell OJ we love his book. VERY inspiring. Please pray for continuing strength for my Caregiver Debbie as i can't live without her."
–Larry McCravy, husband of Debbie McCravy, winner of the ALS Champion Caregivers campaign
"Heather and I would like to express our sincere appreciation to you, OJ and Chanda for all the kindness and generosity you showed us on Saturday evening [Three Rings for O.J. event, 9/13/14]. The Eye Gaze device is a godsend. When Heather began losing her voice, we were panic stricken. She can now continue to communicate with her friends and family.
On behalf of every ALS patient whose life you have touched, we thank you . Words cannot express."
– Heather and Bob Kuchta, received Eye-Gaze device
"I was diagnosed with ALS in March 2006 by John Hopkins Hospital. I was referred in 2012 to the Brigance Brigade Foundation. Since that time, I have appreciated the Foundation for helping me to have more mobility. Without their assistance I would not be able to leave the house, the Foundation has provided me with a wheelchair ramp which is truly a blessing.
I think the Foundation is wonderful and it should be supported so it can continue to benefit everyone with ALS disabilities.
I can truly say without the Foundation's help I would not have the flexibility to leave my house without the ramp. I am thankful for the Foundation every day."
–Effie Harris, received patient service support to build a ramp on her home
"The Brigance Brigade Foundation helped me by remodeling my bathroom. I've been very fortunate to live as long as I have, and have the help and support from the Brigance Brigade Foundation. It makes my everyday quality of life better because the Foundation has helped me. They are remarkable people. They don't have a job, they are angels at work helping people like us.
Once you're in this position, you want to give up. Not me. I've always had a goal and a dream. I won't give up and it's the reason why I know I can do this even though I can't walk."
– Anthony Gegor, received patient service support to remodel his bathroom
"In 2010, I was diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease) and am now living at home and living due to my ventilator. I have no use of my arms and legs and am dependent on my husband and an army of home health care workers, who are not inexpensive and not covered by Medicare or our secondary insurer.
I first encountered O.J. Brigance, an ex-NFL linebacker, who I learned was also a victim of ALS, in the post-game show after the last Super Bowl. In that short appearance I learned of his foundation, the Brigance Brigade Foundation, which assists persons with ALS. Most philanthropic organizations consider ALS as a hopeless cause, but not Mr. Brigance and his organization. He is sincere about helping a person with ALS and I am sincerely grateful to the Brigade for paying for three months of home health care for me.
Due to the Brigade's generous gift to us, we were able to get caught up on bills and not have to worry for three months where the money was coming from to pay our very deserving and hard-working home health care workers. We are very grateful and have been blessed by the Brigade."
–Annetta Kastner, received patient service support to have home health care services
"The Brigance Brigade has been there for me from the day I was diagnosed with ALS. During this difficult time it was good to know that there was an organization that offered support and help. Most recently, the Brigance Brigade provided me with a Dynavox machine so that even though my natural voice is getting weaker I can still talk with my children, family, and friends.
–Judy Herman, received augmentative communication device

jo nagasaka: flat table peeled at spazio rossana orlandi
'flat table peeled' by jo nagasaka / schemata architecture office
japanese designer jo nagasaka from schemata architecture office has created a contemporary interpretation of the traditional japanese hassoku dai, a low table with 8 legs, by using a plank as a table top that is then finished with a layer of colored epoxy resin in fluorescent pink or yellow. this new design follows in the steps of its predecessor 'flat table' developed in 2009, where jo nagasaka has added epoxy resin to the surface of antique tables, in order to smooth and regulate the uneven and different depths of the table tops. this new version called the 'flat table peeled' uses the brightly colored resin to square off the uneven edges and surface of the wooden panels cut from the lengths of trees. the table was on show at spazio rossana orlandi during the milan design week 2011.

Great concept. Original. I especially like the pink one
Agreed. I'll take one in yellow, please.
This is quite hot, but could be thought a bit farther too.
this concept has more possibilities. can't wait to see more
I love them all!
It's so nice to see a really new thing going on.
Mr. Nagasaka rules!
very nice look, however these things will blow apart with the seasonal change in the wood . plastic does not move like the wood
nice style but epoxy is not recyclable…
like it very much, the use of those materials looks realy cool!
