Home » Our Research » Avoiding Chemical Toxins
A simple step that a pregnant mother can take during her pregnancy to avoid these hidden toxins and chemicals in her diet is to avoid processed foods, conventional soy and conventional corn ingredients (like high fructose corn syrup which is banned in children's foods in most developed countries).
As mothers in other developed countries are advised to "go organic" during the first twelve weeks of pregnancy, AllergyKids believes that mothers in the US may want to seek the advise of their medical experts and learn more about this simple proactive step to avoid hidden toxins in our foods in the hopes of protecting the health of our unborn children.

Diversey announces the launch of a toolkit of products, educational materials and expertise to combat the spread of norovirus. Diversey is leveraging its market leadership and expertise to actively educate its customers and distributors on the best practices and most effective products to help reduce the risk of norovirus on employees, customers and facility operations.
According to epidemiologist Salah Qutaishat, PhD, CIC, FSHEA, who has helped manage hospitals through several outbreaks, "Enteric illnesses, including norovirus, will continue to be a public health challenge in the future. Our best defense is to be prepared as we encounter seasonal norovirus outbreaks. I think that institutions with high risk of norovirus transmission, such as cruise ships and long-term healthcare facilities, should be proactive by having an enteric illness plan in place. This plan should be activated as soon as the first case of norovirus is identified.
Public health agencies have recommended some key actions to help reduce the risk of norovirus transmission, including: frequent handwashing, carefully washing fruits and vegetables before preparing and eating them, and improved cleaning and disinfection of high-touch surfaces with EPA or Health Canada (DIN)-registered disinfectant cleaners.
We are working closely with our customers to ensure they are as prepared as possible to react to any outbreak, says Diversey's North American vice president, Richard McEvoy. We are staying close to our customers and have expanded our production levels of disinfectants and hand hygiene products to ensure that we are able to meet our customers needs for these infection prevention solutions."
Diverseys healthcare business is committed to providing a comprehensive set of infection prevention solutions to help facilities improve cleaning and disinfection standards while driving operational efficiencies. With innovative solutions such as Oxivir cleaners and disinfectants with AHP or Vericlean, Diverseys solutions help create a cleaner and safer patient environment that reinforces the trust and confidence that patients place on their healthcare providers.

Hulu Coupons
Hulu offers a great alternative to cable television and you can really save a ton of money by cutting those cable tv costs. Hulu is accessible, affordable and has several options so you can find your best fit! Check out our best tips and tricks to save on Hulu below.
Hulu Saving Tips
Hulu is one of many money-saving alternatives to cable television and many people prefer this streaming service because of the channels and options the service offers. One of the best offers that Hulu has out there is the Try It Free for a month offer that they have pretty regularly. This is a great way to see if you like what Hulu has to offer and if it is a good fit for you and what you are looking for. You can sign up for the free offer on the Hulu website but make sure you pay attention to the cancellation date if you do wish to discontinue the service after the free month.
Cable TV can be really expensive. We've gone without it for about five years now and while I occasionally miss watching Real Housewives of Orange County, I love seeing the savings add up since we don't have that monthly bill. We do supplement with Amazon Prime streaming so we are able to get some children's shows. We also use an antenna to get local channels so we can watch our favorite SitComs or Dramas on network TV. Hulu is a great supplement to either of these options as well. When you look at the cost, which starts at $7.99 a month, it may be worth that minimal amount to broaden your television horizons. This service can also replace DVR since you can watch and re-watch shows as much as you want!
People prefer Hulu because of the wide selection of shoes they offer. They have network hits, original series and a huge selection of older shows and movies available as well. They have promotions on a regular basis so compare what they offer and grab a deal when it's the best price and fit for you. Make sure to get a double bump by paying for the service with a credit card that offers rewards too! Hulu can be watched on multiple devices but some services and devices may require a streaming device like Roku. We've seen some great deals on these so follow GCN to save on a streaming device if you decide to purchase one.

Hulu has a very resourceful online help center to assist with most issues. You can also reach the company with the following information:

ÅF-Group awarded new contract by Akzo NobelThe ÅF-Group has fought off tough competition to win the contract for carrying out preliminary planning work for new production facilities for Akzo Nobel's operations in Örnsköldsvik, northern Sweden. The project includes work on one plant for the production of a new product and one for the development of new products. The ÅF-Group will be assigning around 20 consultants to the project with expertise from the fields of process technology, electrical and IT installations, mechanical engineering, ventilation engineering and building technology.
The project has to be completed quickly. This, together with the fact that some of the technology is as yet untested, places a great deal of responsibility on the suppliers selected. Akzo Nobel cites the ÅF-Group's ability to deliver a complete, all-round service as one of the motivations for awarding the contract to ÅF.
Akzo Nobel has 68,000 employees and is active in 75 countries supplying clients with pharmaceuticals, paint and industrial chemicals. The Akzo Nobel group's turnover for 1999 (excluding Acordis) is expected to total around 110 billion Swedish kronor. Akzo Nobel disposed of Acordis, which formerly represented the group's fibre operations, to CVC Capital Partners at the end of 1999.

I've noticed that I tend to consume travel in two ways: let's call them appetizers and entrees.
When arriving in a new place, I take in everything in small bites as if I were sampling from an appetizer tray. After I leave, I keep thinking about the things I tried, and I find myself wanting to return to the place to take it all in at a deeper level, kind of like the main course.
I found this phenomenon to be true in our stop today in Cody, Wyoming, which is touted as the rodeo capital of the world. I tasted "appetizers" as I looked in store windows along the main street. I sampled "appetizers" from the choreographed gunfight that the locals put on each evening to draw tourists into town. And I tasted actual "appetizers" in the form of cowboy beans and biscuits from the back of a chuck wagon at the local museum.
At the end of the day (and ironically after a real meal of Mexican food), I had to ask: What's for dessert?
There was only one answer. Seats at the nightly rodeo, of course. Where else but Cody can you see a rodeo every night all summer long? It turned out to be one of the sweetest memories from the whole trip.
In hindsight, all those experiences made me hungry to return to the area in the future, maybe for a week at a dude ranch. Don't laugh…that definitely qualifies as an entree travel adventure!

SPOILER ALERT: The recap for the "30 Days Without an Accident" episode of "The Walking Dead" contains storyline and character spoilers.
The first lesson we learn in "The Walking Dead" Season 4: Don't get too attached to those new people. Farewell, Zach. You had a girlfriend (Beth Greene), and had even made a buddy in Daryl, but we hardly got the chance to know ye before ye was gobbled up by a walker.
And Patrick, sweet, enthusiastic Patrick, teen friend to Carl, dispenser of "ma'ams" and "sirs" (and referring to Daryl as "Mr. Dixon"). We would have liked to get to know you better, too, but your sudden illness, blood-covered face, and zombified eyes mean: 1) Goodbye, Patrick, and 2) Next week's episode is going to find the prison dwellers confronted with a whole new threat.
[Related: 27 Things We Know So Far About Season 4 of 'The Walking Dead']
How we got there in this season premiere episode, which is full of foreboding of the new troubles the "TWD" survivors are going to face in Season 4…
Rick Grimes, Devoted Daddy
Carl's decent into sociopathy at the end of Season 3, and Rick's own mental breakdown, have led to a very different Rick Grimes when Season 4 opens. He's up before everyone, spending his morning working the prison's new garden; all those Woodbury transplants may provide more safety in numbers, but they also necessitate a bigger food supply, and Rick is on the job. But two ominous findings interject themselves into his otherwise zen (relatively speaking, of course) morning of getting his farmer on: He finds a gun buried in the garden (which he breaks apart and throws into the garbage), and he notices the rowdy walkers at the chain link fence are bleeding from their eyes.
Rick's soon joined by Carl, who also seems calmer. Rick has removed himself as the prison group's leader — a committee, which includes Daryl, makes all the decisions now — and is focusing on fathering Carl and Judith and keeping the food supply replenished. Rick and Carl are eschewing activities like supply runs and anything violence-related, and instead focus on chores, reading comics, and raising pigs. Rick does remind Carl not to get too attached to Violet, the pig languishing in the pen. She's food, not a pet, Rick reminds him, before referring to the swine as Violet himself. Speaking of Violet, she seems to be sick…
Rick's Big Adventure
Rick's new food guy duties includes checking snares he's set around the prison to catch more protein. Before he leaves, Hershel tells him that the rest of the leadership council implores him to start taking his gun with him when he ventures outside the prison fences. Rick reluctantly agrees, despite his new commitment to more peaceful living.
And it's a good thing he does; just as he happens upon a boar in the woods, a woman swoops in on the animal. He hides, but she spots him and begs him to help her. The woman, who's clearly physically and emotionally fragile, says she hasn't eaten in days, and asks Rick to help her carry the boar back to her husband. Rick hands her a packet of food from his bag, and she asks if he has a camp. When he says yes, she asks to join him there. He says he'll have to meet her husband first, and they'll have to answer three questions before he'll consider taking them home.
On their walk, the woman tells Rick she and her husband, Eddie, were headed for their honeymoon in Puerto Vallarta when the turn happened. They were with other people at various times, but now it's just the two of them. She talks about the things they'd have to do to survive, haunting things, and she asks Rick, "Do you think you get to come back from the things you've done?"
"I hope so," he says.
Once they reach her camp, the woman tries to attack Rick, and admits Eddie has turned. She stabs herself with a knife, and after asking Rick not to stop her from turning so she can join Eddie, she asks him what three questions he would have asked the couple to determine if they could join his camp.
Rick answers: 1) How many walkers have you killed? She says Eddie did all the killing. 2) How many people have you killed? "Just me," she says. 3) "Why?" Rick asks. "You don't get to come back," she answers.
[Related: 'Walking Dead' 101: How You Can Take a Free College Course on the Hit AMC Drama]
A shaken Rick looks at Eddie — or whatever's left of him, inside a burlap bag — and leaves the woman to die, and turn. Later, he talks to Hershel about how close he came to losing himself after Lori died, and how, if anything happened to Carl or Judith, he might find himself in the same state as Woods Lady. Wouldn't happen, even then, Hershel tells him. You do get to come back from the things you've had to do, Hershel says.
Daryl Dixon, Beloved Leader
With Rick putting leadership duties on hold, Daryl has stepped up and emerged as a more confident, even friendly, figure in the prison camp. As he walks to the makeshift cafeteria for breakfast, he's greeted by several people, and thanked profusely by Patrick, who is grateful for a deer Daryl brought home for dinner. Carol teases her friend (and more?!) that he's going to have to get used to all the love.
Carol also points out to Daryl that the walkers, which they've recently cleared out of the area outside the prison, seem to be coming back more quickly, and traveling in bigger packs than they ever have before.
Daryl's got other things on his mind, though, like the big supply run that he, Tyreese, Sasha, Glenn, Zach, Michonne (newly returned to camp, riding a horse, after a road trip to hunt down The Governor), and new guy Bob (a military medic recently brought to camp by Daryl just a week earlier) are taking to Big Spot, a local department store the gang has scoped out.
Daryl's Big Adventure
At Big Spot, Daryl and company think they've cleared the store of walkers, and each grabs a cart and goes down the aisles with a shopping list in mind. What they don't know: The roof of the building is littered with walkers and a crashed helicopter that is rapidly weakening the structure.
[Related: 11 Big Questions With 'The Walking Dead's' Norman Reedus]
Inside, Bob steers his cart down the liquor aisle, and looks around nervously before stuffing a bottle inside his jacket. He takes it out and puts it back on the shelf, which then crashes down on him and traps him underneath. As the others rush towards him, a walker falls through the weakened roof, and hangs there by his entrails. Soon, more are falling through, and the scene turns to chaos as the group is trying to free Bob while also fighting off the ravenous zombies that are raining down upon them. Glenn narrowly escapes being eaten, and young Zach helps save Bob, just as a walker whose own foot is attached to his leg by a string of skin is desperately fighting to snack on Bob.
But then a walker jumps out at Zach's leg, bites him, and before anyone can save the newbie, he's walker chow. As usual, there's no time to stop and process the loss, because the rest of the group barely has time to hightail it out of the Big Spot before the helicopter also comes crashing down into the store.
The Rest of the Gang
* Tyreese has a new love: Woodbury transplant Karen. Tyreese opens up to her about the emotional struggles he's having with the things they have to do to survive. The trip to Big Spot didn't help, but he seems to find comfort in Karen's arms. Tyreese is also dealing with the same issues that haunt Rick, which, we're hoping, means these two beloved characters will start to form the friendship they share in the "Walking Dead" comics.
* Michonne isn't planning to stay put at the prison for long. She's planning another road trip to go looking for "him," this time near Macon, Georgia.
* Sasha, Tyreese's little sister, has also stepped up as a leader at the prison — and if we're not mistaken, there's a little hint that a romance could develop between her and Bob?
* Glenn and Maggie are still happily coupled, but Glenn is particularly spooked by a pregnancy scare. Maggie's not pregnant, it turns out, but she assures Glenn she thinks they'd be okay even if she was. "I don't want to be afraid of being alive," she tells him. But a terrified Glenn disagrees, citing Lori and the tragic Big Spot run as evidence.
* Beth Greene has never been the most emotionally stable member of the group, and that continues to be the case. She essentially shrugs off Zach's death when Daryl informs her he died during the Big Spot trip, then moves to change an office sign that reads "30 Days Without an Accident" to "0" days. "I don't cry anymore, Daryl," she tells him. "Just tired of losing people, that's all," he responds.
* Carol has taken it upon herself to teach the children of the camp how to defend themselves against walkers. She leads "story time" in the prison library, and then, unbeknownst to their parents, the kiddies get a quick lesson in weaponry. Carl catches Carol, and she begs him not to tell Rick, who she knows would not only disapprove of her stealth lessons, but would also inform the 'rents what she's up to.
* Patrick, who appeared to be perfectly healthy at the beginning of the episode, began to feel sick a few hours later. That night, he creeps out of his bedroom, leaving a trail of bloody footprints on the floor, as he makes his way to the shower room. He sprays himself with water, but passes out onto the floor, as the camera pans to his bloody face and eyes, which quickly turn to walker eyes. Violet the pig has also died. Coincidence?
Zombie Bites:
* Carol called Daryl "Pookie." Squee!
* Daryl on the goodbye kiss Beth gives Zach before the supply run to Big Spot: "Damn romance novel."
* Zach had been trying on a daily basis, for six weeks, to guess what Daryl did "before the turn." His final guess, which made Michonne break out in laughter: Daryl was an undercover detective.
* Yes, Vincent Martella, the actor who plays Patrick, played Chris's best friend Greg on "Everybody Hates Chris." And yes, Kyle Gallner, who plays Zach, also starred in "Veronica Mars," "Smallville," and "CSI: NY."
* Hershel, as teased in the Season 4 trailer, does indeed have some sort of artificial leg now. No hint about how he got it, yet.
Get a sneak peek at next week's "Walking Dead" right here:
* Michonne returns to camp with a gift for Carl: a stack of comic books she tells him she wants to read after he finishes them. She also has a present for Rick: a razor. "Your face is losing the war," she teases him. It doesn't feel like foreshadowing of a romance, but rather confirmation that the bond Michonne forged with the Grimes men in last season's "Clear" episode has only deepened.
* Just as Rick told him not to name the pig, Carl tells the younger children at the prison not to humanize the walkers by waving at them and calling by name (they'd been calling one "Nick," because that's what his nametag said).
Now share your feelings with the group, "Dead"-heads: Was the Season 4 premiere worth the wait? Were you bummed to see those new guys die so quickly? Are you worried we're going to lose screentime with the core characters now that the prison population has expanded? And what, exactly, do you think is behind the deaths of Patrick and Violet the pig? Are they related? And are they related to the blood-streaming eyes of the walkers outside the prison fences?
"The Walking Dead" airs Sundays at 9 p.m. on AMC.

Abortion should never be a means of birth control.
I must agree with, and applaud, Glen Kaminski for his statement, �41 years of legal abortion nothing to celebrate� (letter, Jan 23). We can be sure that Creator God, who was knitting together each aborted life in its mother�s womb, is not celebrating (Psalm 139). As Mr. Kaminski so rightfully stated: �reproductive responsibility� instead of �reproductive freedom.� Abortion should never be a means of birth control; birth control should be taken care of BEFORE conception.
I agree that every woman should have the right to make decisions concerning her body, such as hairstyles or color, piercings, tattoos, etc. However, this issue is not about a woman�s body and a woman�s rights. This issue concerns another�s body and another�s rights WITHIN her body � the body and rights of an innocent unborn baby. Big difference!
I�ve heard it said by the pro-abortion sides in justifying partial-birth abortion that a life isn�t a life unless it can breathe on its own. Try telling that to me and others who have watched a perfectly formed and beloved premature infant struggling for its life. Thank God for manmade incubators that keep them alive until they can live on their own. A womb is a �God-made� incubator, keeping a precious baby alive until it can live on its own also. No one should have the right to �pull the plug� on either� incubator.�
It seems as if a baby is considered a life if it is wanted or not. Case in point: A woman becomes pregnant and considers the circumstances aren�t right for whatever reason. She has an abortion ending the baby�s life and it�s considered �her right.� Years later, this same woman is pregnant with a planned pregnancy. A negligent driver causes a wreck and her unborn child loses its life. She sues the driver for manslaughter and wins. Either way, there is an end to life, planned or accidental. Shouldn�t the conclusion be the same?
My heart goes out to those who, in a moment of fear and panic, made a decision they wish they could take back. None of us can go back and change our decisions, but we CAN go forward in the grace of Christ Jesus. The good news is that God loves us, will forgive us when we ask and will ease our pain and heartache. �If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness� (1 John 1:9).
Lynn Haven
� � �
A lot is being said these days about women�s rights, but not much is said about a fetus or baby�s rights unless you were a participant in the March for Life parade that took place Jan. 22 in Washington, D.C. Those who believe in protecting the life of the unborn gave speeches about the sanctity of human life.
Many women in this country want the right to have government supply them with free birth control, but when they forget to use it and get pregnant then they want the right to terminate that fetus, which in reality is a human baby in its earliest stages of development in the womb. It�s not �just a blob of tissue� as some want to pretend it is.
In her letter (�Reproductive freedom,� Jan. 22), Ms. Myers refers to a law in some states that requires a woman at a certain stage in her pregnancy to get an ultrasound before getting an abortion. She states that there is not any real benefit or need for that. I totally disagree. There is a very important need for that, and a very real benefit.
I have heard of many cases where the pregnant woman went into a clinic planning to abort her baby, upon seeing the fetus/baby on the ultrasound, deciding against abortion, and bringing the baby to full term and birth. Ms. Myers, that�s what I call a real benefit. That�s also a very worthy thing to celebrate.
Panama City
� � �
In regard to the Jan. 22 letter to the editor �Reproductive freedom�: No, I cannot celebrate the 41st anniversary, or any anniversary, of Roe v. Wade.
Thank you, Mom and Dad, for letting me live (one of 12 children). Thank you, my children, for letting your children live.
May God have mercy on the United States of America.
Panama City

Music in the Mass
For nearly two millenia, the Church has sung its worship to the Father, using as its basis the Psalms and Scripture, the very words of Christ modeling for us right worship of God, worship which we join in the Liturgy of the Church.
The selection of music for Mass is important to draw out the meaning of the particular moment, day, feast, or season. The Scripture readings provide one source of inspiration, and traditionally, the Church has meditated on the Gospel and day's readings especially during the Communion procession. However, historically, hymns and songs based on the readings have not made up the primary musical material of the Mass processions, but rather sung Scripture and Psalms in a musical form that evolved directly out of Jewish psalm singing.
Vatican II put great emphasis on singing the Mass ("Singing is for one who loves" said St. Augustine), and it made clear the level of importance of what should be sung. The most important part of Mass to be sung, by the faithful, is also the briefest: the dialogues and responses, such as "The Lord be with you/And with your Spirit" or "Amen." That is because these are most expressive of the people's participation in the Mass, and the music is very easy to internalize once it is sung a few times.
The second most important element of the Mass for the people to sing is called the Ordinary, consisting of those longer hymns, litanies, and acclamations that are sung every week, such as the Kyrie (Lord, Have Mercy), Gloria, Agnus Dei (Lamb of God), and even the Creed! These are expressions of our faith, and as St. Augustine suggested, our love for God elicits song.
The third element to be sung includes the parts we sing most often, the processions at the Entrance, Offertory, and Communion, as well as the Recessional, whose part in the Mass is not specified by liturgical law. Despite its place in the ranking, accompanying these processions with music draws out the ceremonial nature of the Mass.
We celebrate the Mass, the priest in a particular way, as we worship God by offering, through Christ, the sacrifice of Calvary. Our response to God's merciful saving action should be praise and thanksgiving, sorrow for our sins, and, above all, love. As lovers sing (at least in musicals and operas), so should we sing the Mass, showing God how much we love him, and through him communing with the whole Church.
Elements of the Catholic Mass
Here you will find videos from the Liturgical Institute, Mundelein Seminary, Illinois, describing the elements of the Catholic Mass. These beautiful reflections will help to put into context the function of sacred music in the liturgy.
Liturgical Institute Videos
Here you can find other videos of interest from the Liturgical Institute, especially from Denis McNamara about a theology of sacred architecture that relates to the art of the Mass.
Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy
The Second Vatican Council's first document focuses on the liturgy of the Roman Rite, the Catholic Church's most prominent form of worship. An entire chapter (VI) is devoted to sacred music, which is well worth reading. Take this bold statement, for example:
112. The musical tradition of the universal Church is a treasure of inestimable value, greater even than that of any other art. The main reason for this pre-eminence is that, as sacred song united to the words, it forms a necessary or integral part of the solemn liturgy.
The liturgy is meant to be sung, and the Church has given much consideration to this important topic.

For now, I've been trying to keep my hair "put away" as I call it. Im trying to stay on the protective path. First I had a sew in that I loved the look of. But, as expensive as the hair was, it was so hard to keep it detangled.
Right now, I have senegalese twist, and as much as I don't like micro braids, I love these.
I've had them for two weeks. I want to at least keep them two another two before its on to the next style. Who knows what ill end up with next!

Status Report
February 7 ,2005
Heading Back
On Feb. 5, MESSENGER reached an historic point 30.74 million miles (49.47 million kilometers) from Earth. Known as "local max," this point was MESSENGER's farthest distance from home before starting back toward Earth for the gravity-assist flyby on Aug. 2.
Schedule Flip
The spacecraft "flip" scheduled for March 30 has been moved up to March 8. The flip will turn MESSENGER's sunshade toward the Sun; to this point the spacecraft had been flying with its shade pointed away from the Sun, letting sunlight warm its electronics while providing power to the spacecraft. The decision was made to flip the orbiter sooner when the team saw temperatures rising on the Neutron Spectrometer sensor of the Gamma-Ray and Neutron Spectrometer instrument. "The spacecraft has a large surface area that is collecting a lot of sunlight and at the center is where the Neutron Spectrometer is located," says MESSENGER Mission Systems Engineer James Leary. "An earlier flip will ensure continued, safe operating temperatures for the instrument and spacecraft."
MESSENGER and its systems are in good health and operating normally.
Top Paper
A paper on MESSENGER's innovative phased-array antenna was recently selected as "Best Paper" from the Antenna Measurement Techniques Association (AMTA) 2004 symposium. Titled "Testing of the MESSENGER Phased-Array Antenna" and written by Robert Wallis, Jonathan Bruzzi and Perry Malouf of the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, the paper is available belolw and will be reprinted in the "AMTA Corner" of an upcoming issue of IEEE Antenna and Propagation Magazine.

MESSENGER is the first deep space mission to use an electronically steered phased-array antenna. Two phased arrays, mounted on opposite sides of the spacecraft, provide MESSENGER's high-gain downlink coverage.
Jeopardy Winner: What Is Mercury?
We thought it would take at least one Mercury flyby before the mission would gain pop icon status - but just six months after launch, there was MESSENGER in the final round of the game show Jeopardy! Anne Shivers from Peotone, Illinois, won a semifinal game of the show's 2005 Teen Tournament on Feb. 2 by coming up with the correct question to the Final Jeopardy answer: "Launched in 2004, a spacecraft named MESSENGER is on a mission to study this planet."
Stat Corner
MESSENGER is about 91.9 million miles (147.9 million kilometers) from the Sun and 30.7 million miles (49.4 million kilometers) from Earth. At that distance, a signal from Earth reaches the spacecraft in 2 minutes, 45 seconds. The spacecraft is moving around the Sun at 67, 364 miles (108,412 kilometers) per hour. MESSENGER's onboard computers have executed 27,151 commands from mission operators since launch.

Donald Trump announced yesterday he's suing Univision for $500 million — yes, a half-billion dollars — over its refusal to air his Miss Universe and Miss USA pageants. To put that into perspective, the original deal between Trump and Univision was worth just $13.5 million — and Univision will still pay him that money; it simply won't air the pageants. It's a fantastical number with no basis in reality, designed more as a show of force and to attract attention. Of course, Trump is not a man who values either subtlety or making public statements that are in any way bound by facts or reason.
In fact, Trump's entire silly fight with Univision, sparked by his comments about Mexicans in his presidential announcement speech, proves that although Trump may be a good businessman — and an even better caricature of one — he's not fit for politics in any serious way.
This has nothing to do with Trump's policy positions per se. Before we split ways on ideologies, most Americans can agree there are some traits we'd like our politicians on both sides of the aisle to have: honesty, humbleness, a grasp on basic facts and figures, a reserved temper not prone to sudden outbursts, etc. Granted, we don't always elect politicians with those virtues, but we at least like to pretend we value them.
Trump seems to lack all of them.
Let's start with the words that got him into trouble in the first place. From his presidential campaign announcement speech:
When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best. They're not sending you. They're not sending you. They're sending people that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems with us. They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.
Now, if Trump wanted to make a case about why we need to build a wall at the Mexican border, he could have used things like, oh, actual facts and statistics. He could have highlighted individual instances of "people that have lots of problems" crossing the border. The man has money. You figure he could have at least paid someone to Google something for him.
Instead, he talked in broad assumptions in a way that made it seem all but "some" Mexicans (he assumes) are nothing more than common criminals and rapists. In fact, the way he worded this makes it seem like he's saying all Mexicans crossing the border, not just those who were doing so illegally, are bad people bringing drugs and disorder along with them.
Though he hasn't apologized for the remarks, Trump has also tried to reiterate in his defense that he has lots of Hispanic friends and business connections in Mexico. He might have been better served by keeping that in mind while drafting that speech.
Instead, Trump blabbered broadly and offensively. More concerning for a man who considers himself a master of hiring and making judgments about people is that he doesn't seem to have hired anyone experienced enough in politics to tell him not to do that.
It's simply not presidential behavior, though it may make for great reality TV.
Then, of course, came the pushback, kicked off by Univision's decision to drop its airings of the pageants.
Trump clapped back by claiming a conspiracy theory centered on Univision bowing to the Mexican government. Does Trump have any proof to assert this? No. His lawsuit also claims Univision employees used their connections with former colleagues at NBC to pressure that network to drop ties with him too. (For the record, NBC owns Univision's primary competitor, Telemundo.)
For a man who hounded President Obama for so long about releasing his long-form birth certificate, Trump himself doesn't seem to bother backing up any of his claims with actual evidence.
Then came Trump's trifling ban on Univision employees from using the facilities at the Trump National Doral Miami golf course and resort, as well as his leaking of Univision anchor Jorge Ramos' cell phone number on social media.
It's petty stuff, for sure, and the kind of trivial score-settling we tend to detest in politicians. Plus, do we really want our leader — who has access to more classified information than perhaps anyone in the world — prone to leaking things out of spite?
Now comes the $500 million lawsuit. Univision has dismissed it as "both factually false and legally ridiculous." Though independent legal experts haven't dug into the suit, it seems to be so. For example, Trump claims Univision is impeding on his First Amendment rights. That amendment stops the government from punishing you for saying what you want, not from private companies deciding to stop doing business with you because they find you to be a buffoon. Civics 101, folks.

But this is what Trump does. It's how he has survived and thrived.
Trump didn't rise to national celebrity because he's the most successful businessman in America. (It's often forgotten that he was born into a rich family and inherited an already-successful company from his father and that multiple Trump projects have been driven into bankruptcy.) It's because, well, he provided the most fodder for New York gossip columns and tabloids. Trump has managed to ride that gossip snark to further success, establishing himself as a divisive icon. He was Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian before their time, and he has scored a long-running, successful reality-TV show, signature fragrances, a clothing line, and lots of money from licensing his name to business projects he wasn't otherwise much involved in (much like Hilton and Kardashian).
He goes out and plays a character in public, giving his audience (in this case, red-meat Republican primary voters) what they want. Maybe he thought that tactic would work in politics, but the irony is that in the process, he's doing harm to his business brand all while proving exactly why he's not fit for the White House.

SmartCAM V18 Core Milling Improvements: Helical Milling
SmartCAM v18 introduces several new and frequently requested capabilities related to Helical Milling, and Thread Milling in particular.
These new capabilities make it easier than ever to create helical milling toolpaths for a variety of part features and thread milling applications.
Watch the "Helical Milling Improvements in SmartCAM V18" Video
Helix Element Offset
It is now possible to create helix elements with Left or Right offset properties. Offset property helices are offset during verification and code generation, provided the adjacent connected elements are either offset property elements which form tangent junctions with the helix when offset, or non-offset property line elements.
Verification of Helix Elements is now representative of what will occur on the machine tool when using cutter compensation.
Helix Lead In/Out
It is now possible to use the Geo Edit - Lead In/Out commands to add leads to helix elements, saving time from manually creating line and arc moves.
Improved Thread Milling Process
The Hole Making - Thread Mill process has been redesigned to offer greater flexibility and improved ease of use. Thread Mill now supports single or multi revolution toolpath, and a taper angle for pipe thread applications. Also, it now supports multiple side passes, a user specified lead extension, and left and right offset property.
The improved panel saves time by making it easier to define thread milling operations, and eliminating the need to manually define multi-rev, multi-pass, and pipe thread toolpaths.
Helical Interpolation of Spirals
The code generator machine file has been enhanced to support new code options for helical and spiral output, making it now possible to output changing radius helixes differently than constant radius.
Additionally, spirals can now be interpolated using a series of constant radius helical moves based on a specified chordal deviation tolerance.
This allows the user to better tailor the toolpath output to match the specific capabilities of the machine tool being used.

Ingram is the largest book wholesaler in North America. Most bookstores have an account with Ingram. Therefore, if you want one of our titles, and your favorite store doesn't carry it, they can probably get it within two days from Ingram.
In the 1950's Brodart Co. expanded into book distribution. The Company now offers libraries and schools books from over 20,000 publishers, and stocks its warehouse with over 225,000 titles and 2,000,000 books.
A division of Follett, a 130 year old company Follett Library Resources is the largest supplier of books, eBooks, and audiovisual materials to K-12 schools.
National Association of College Stores, service to over 3,300 college stores, campus resellers, over a million titles. We've worked with them in the past when colleges require an intermediary.
Over 60,000 products for Education, Health Training and Education, Farm Supplies/Agriculture and laboratory sampling.
They rebind books from publishers like Clearwater into cool hardcover books for classrooms and libraries. Right now they have hardcover versions of Algebra Unplugged in stock and perhaps There Are No Electrons. If a library requests enough of our books, they will do the same thing for any of our titles.
Beyond being a big publisher (they did the Harry Potter books), Scholastic sometimes acts as a distributor. When some schools needed one of our titles, they found it easiest to go through Scholastic, which bought the books from us. The schools already had a relationship with them. Scholastic also conducts book fairs all over the country. They have included our books in these fairs from time to time.
We've been selling direct to Barnes and Noble for years via their EDI system and have a great relationship with them. Therefore, if you need a larger quantity of our books for your classroom, it's easy for them to just include it in one of their regular orders to us. If you've got a Barnes and Noble near your school, you might contact them to see if this makes sense for you. Now that Barnes and Noble College division is a under the main corporate umbrella, this may also make sense for some college stores operated by them.

Manuel likes to eat the enormous crayons in the wooden box. First he bites off a chunk of the yellow one, swallows it, grins and reaches for the red one.
I'm 6 years old, in Miss Allison's first grade class and I like to observe my world.
Between bites of crayon, Manuel spoons thick, white paste from the jar that sits on our little table. The paste smells nice I think, like parakeet feathers. Manuel eats the paste. He only eats paste and crayons when I am at his table.

At recess and lunch my girlfriends and I turn into big horses. We slap our legs and race wildly across the vast, hard dirt playground. We are shiny brown horses who whinny and chase the boys who scatter before us.
I hate being a horse. I hate chasing boys. I can't see the point to this mad galloping and racing and boy chasing.
But, I am 6 years old and this is what my country girl friends love to do. I want to be with my friends.
This is how it starts: (more…)

One of the things I'm learning from my photo journal and from writing is how many different ways there are of seeing a thing. Seeing comes before words. –John Berger Ways of Seeing From inside: From outside: Through a stormy … Continue reading

look again
In a 1984 Paris Review interview, the writer James Baldwin said the following:
I remember standing on a street corner with the black painter Beauford Delaney down in the Village, waiting for the light to change, and he pointed down and said, "Look." I looked and all I saw was water. And he said, "Look again," which I did, and I saw oil on the water and the city reflected in the puddle. It was a great revelation to me. I can't explain it. He taught me how to see, and how to trust what I saw. Painters have often taught writers how to see. And once you've had that experience, you see differently.
Many of you are visual artists as well as writers. I'm not. But I've become a much more visual person in the last few years. I think maybe this blog is my nudge to look again. To be more aware of the world around me.
These days, with writing, instead of having ideas, I'm seeing scenes. Maybe it's just that I've gotten out of my own way. My thinking has gotten out of the way of my…something.
When I started with the words of James Baldwin, I didn't realize I would end up with something, but that's as far as I have time to go with this today…
the wash
There's something about the wash hanging outside a window that pulls me toward it–almost like the feeling I have for row houses. "The task of finding your key images is lifework," Georgia Heard wrote.
Oddly, though, with the wash, it's the differences that attract me; whereas with the houses, it's the similarities.
Still, I think the fascination comes from what I can see rubbing up against what I can't.
"The relation between what we see and what we know is never settled."John Berger from Ways of Seeing
There's a beauty in the colors and shapes blowing in the wind. an honesty in putting it out there. This is who we are, it says.

First Lexus LFA Nurburgring In UK
By Arman Barari on Apr 13, 2012 with Comments 0
The first unit of the first Lexus LFA with Nürburgring Packag to come to Europe has been delivered to a British customer.
Finished in orange with a black interior, the model's exclusivity is matched by its track-focused performance and hand-crafted quality. Building on the speed and handling of the LFA, the Nürburgring Package adds a number of elements that increase downforce for sharper circuit performance, without compromising out-and-out speed.
apart from its technical brilliance, and the fact that only 50 of these come to Europe, The LFA Nurburgring is a very special car because it culminates almost a decade of 'ring action the super car has gone through, both in pre-production development and in the endurance races after that.
Lexus LFA Nurburgring Package:
It includes a front spoiler made from CFRP (carbon fibre reinforced plastic), a strong and lightweight advanced composite material, plus special mesh-type wheels with dedicated, high-grip tyres to improve manoeuvrability and stability. Maximum power from the LFA's 4.8-litre V10 engine has been increased from 552 to 562bhp (411 to 420kW), maintaining the car's 3.7-second nought to 62mph acceleration time and 202mph top speed.
The package has handsomely demonstrated its worth: last year Lexus undertook a performance check with professional driver Akira Iida driving the LFA around the Nürburgring's famous Nordschleife.

Though known to be a Gladiator in real life, it is still Proof of Life that Oscar winner Russell Crowe is one of the most talented actors that ever came from Down Under. Still, it doesn't hurt to have a little bit of bad boy within him, but Crowe becomes bad AND good with two new films coming out later this year.
The first, 3:10 to Yuma, is a remake of the 1957 classic adapted from Elmore Leonard's short story. Crowe's character is an notorious outlaw that has been captured, and Christian Bale is the man hired to escort him to trial -- that is, if they survive, when Crowe's gang sets out to freed their leader, meaning the two men may have to work together to survive.
The second, American Gangster, is based on the true story of Frank Lucas, an African-American who rose to prominence in the drug world in Harlem. Denzel Washington is the protagonist; making this film, the second time the actor portrays a bad guy since his portrayal of a corrupt cop in 2001's Training Day, which led him to his second Oscar. Crowe is the detective determined to bring Lucas to justice.

Malaysian PM's popularity soars after wedding
"Marriage in any culture is always a positive thing, even among friends and foes. Malaysians are cheering for him," Shamsul told AFP. Abdullah stunned the country last Wednesday when he announced he was getting married again. His first marriage to Endon was widely seen as a model relationship in

After asar prayers, the newly-weds and their entourage headed to Precinct 20 to visit the grave of Abdullah's late wife, Datin Seri Endon Mahmood, who died on Oct 20, 2005 of breast cancer. Abdullah, who had Jeanne seated next to him, led the family in prayers for Endon.Family members took turns to sprinkle water and strew flower petals on her grave. Earlier,
Abdullah who cut a dashing figure in an off-white baju melayu with matching sampin, was all smiles when he greeted reporters who had been waiting since the morning to get a word from him and Jeanne. As he was about to leave the Taman Selatan Muslim cemetery, Abdullah said: "Praise be to Allah that all went well and the nikah went smoothly." Asked if he managed to utter the lafaz akad nikah in the first attempt,
Abdullah replied heartily that he did, to the laughter of those present. Jeanne, who was by his side, was asked to show reporters her wedding ring, which she shyly obliged with a smile.

NFC Mobile Apps - What They Mean to You
- Details
- Written by Nathan Drake
It's easy to imagine or at least research the power near field communication will have on the business world. Just search for "near field communication" on the Internet and you will find plenty of possible uses for NFC, and most of these lists of uses will begin with NFC payment structures.
Usually, the best ways people can imagine the uses of revolutionary technology like NFC is either militaristic or business-oriented. In the case of NFC, I don't know about the militaristic uses, but I do know businesses and the corporate world in general are beginning to jump on the technology as a way to increase traffic and conversions of that traffic into increased sales.
But what about a useful way for the individual person or small business owner to make money on NFC. It's daunting to look at the sheer numbers in projected increased sales, especially when the kind of money people are looking to make off the technology, and this daunting feeling makes it easy to write off NFC as something for rich people, something to use to make others money, not yourself.
Nokia has recently come out with a mobile app for making NFC tags that is probably going to change all that, if not through the app itself, then through the multiple apps that are sure to follow. These apps make it possible for people to make NFC tags, the parts of the data transfer process which are responsible for holding the initial information. Being able to make and order NFC tags, and to have those tags attached to the kinds of media which bring about increased contact with potential clients and customers has brought the future of NFC to the home and small business.
This particular app would allow for people to do two things that, if they could do them before, were extremely inconvenient. First, they can order NFC tags with whatever information they deem valuable and have these tags put into stickers and business cards, advertising their goods services at a level they may have imagined only attainable by larger corporations. Second, they are able to source blank tags in low volumes.
Basically, the app, which features a readymade gallery of possible designs as well as the ability to allow the user to upload their own pictures and designs from their phone to the app, allows users to skip the normal technological step. Over the years, I have come to call this step the hand-me-down effect. The step is amount of time smaller corporations and small businesses usually have to wait until they can afford, or, in the case of proprietary technological advancements and patents, gain access to, new advertising technology. Whereas this period of time used to be around 3 to 5 years, small business will be able to engage in the same type of advertising as larger corporations, even if they cannot engage in the sheer volume of these advertisements.
In the future, I can imagine this being an extremely valuable asset to companies, because at present the percentage of adults owning smartphones is still relatively low at barely less than 50 percent, according to Nielsen. However, the percentages have steadily risen in recent years as the price of the smartphone decreased, and when this percentage continues on and tops 70 percent, 80, 90, anyone who did not take part whole-heartedly in this advertising revolution will regret it as their competition laughs all the way to the bank.
Don't believe me? Don't believe that the early adoption of new business models is perhaps the most important part of running a business in the digital world, a world in which our way of life seems to fundamentally change every five years? Ask Borders Books how they're doing, and how not opening an online bookstore until 10 years after Barnes & Noble worked for them.

What is your most interesting discovery?
I finally got around to making a family tree and digging around in the census records to find out where all my people came from. It's been really interesting-- and there were a few surprises.
The biggest surprise was how angry I felt when I found out where and when my ancestors were slaves. I mean I think we all know that we have ancestors who were slaves but when you have a name and you can say "Yes, this really happened to my great-great-great-great-grandmother in say Chatham and Pigg River, Pittsylvania, VA" it has a new meaning. My family still has some land down there the plantation was parceled up sometime after the civil war. I knew this growing up but now I know the whole chain of events and the names:
William Coleman and Nanny Coleman were slaves in Chatham, VA. One year the census has almost no names on it and hundreds are on the slave registers (no names recorded for slaves) the next census (1870) is filled with newly freed colored people. And so Will and Nanny appear and I can go no further back on this line since there is no way to distinguish them from the hundreds of others listed only as Male 37 or Female 32. That makes me so angry. I want to know who they were.
But, it's kind of neat how in another case my great-great-grandmother ended up owing the same land her ancestors were slaves on. That woman was something else: she had 13 kids! Can you imagine?
I had better luck with my family from PA I managed to trace them back to Philly in the 1780s where one William worked as a shipbuilder. I was surprised at how many free blacks there are in the records.
I also found a clear-cut case of passing in the the early 1800s. One of my great-great-great-Aunts and her kids are listed as 'mulatto' in one census then white in every census after that! I wonder if their decedents know about that?
What interesting things have ya'll found in your family history?

The Swedish-Swiss-German concern ABB is investing USD 20 M in the construction of a new factory for low voltage automation and power products located in the Rakovski Industrial Zone close to the city of Plovdiv.
The ABB Manager for Central and Eastern Europe Peter Smiths, who turned the first sod of the new factory on Tuesday, announced that the plant was expended to start work on March 20, 2009, and to employ 500 persons.
He said also that this would be ABB's third factory in Bulgaria in addition to the other two located in the town of Sevlievo, and the town of Petrich. The new plant will be located on a plot of 20 000 square meters.
All of the production of the new factory will be exported. The plant will be constructed by the Plovdiv company Sienit Single Person Ltd, which is one of the co-owners of the Rakovski Industrial Zone. Some 50 to 80 workers will be employed for the construction.
The ABB (Asea Brown Boveri) is a multinational corporation based in Zurich, Switzerland, and specializing in the production of power and automation technology. It is one of the largest engineering companies, and conglomerates in the world.

The "Net Neutrality" debate has taken a interesting turn this week, triggered by Verizon and Google's joint statement to move toward more tiered services on the Internet.
Here's where I am on net neutrality: It's not black or white. It's gray. Yes, we need to preserve an element of freedom to access applications over broadband. But also, the definition of net neutraility needs to leave some wiggle room to help telecom and media companies roll out some newer premium appications that make money.
I think the recent developments are actually exciting, because there is now a catalyst for change and the debate is out on the table. Verizon and Google getting together is kind of like the executives of the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees coming to the table on a stadium-sharing deal. But this shows how crucial the issue is, if two of the most powerful corporations in the world are willing to come to the table to talk about it.
As the net neutraility fanatics grab their pitchforks and fire up their blogs, ready the roast the big evil corporations that are trying to swipe away their YouTube Internet, they're being naive if they think things can stay as they are. Stuff's gonna change.
Yes, that startup and "garage" market needs to be protected. But, that's happening, and the Internet is about to expand to millions of more devices and terabytes of more video data and services. The media and telecom companies also need a pathway to profits on the Internet.
Telcos and media conglomerates see their futures as enormously threatend by a free and open Internet in which they don't get paid, or worse yet, are frozen in time because they believe regulations prohibit them from innovating. They are not that stupid. They see the existing Internet platform as essentially subsidized by telecom companies to help startups defeat them.
Do you think in the global business-political hierarchy, this would be allowed to progress indefinitely? The fact is that for the telecom industry, this trend is going to get worse. With 4G coming, data traffic is likely to expand by a factor of 10 or more in the coming 2-4 years. Revenue will certainly not increase that much. Telecom profit margins are about to bet massively squeezed.
Verizon sees the writing on the wall: In five years, data services will exceed voice services by an order of magnitude, ARPU will be down, mobile subscriptions will be flattening out, and they will be paying to allow millions of Internet users to scarf huges amounts of video cilps off of their smartphones and fiber connections.
What about the media companies? Well, the Internet hasn't been a huge gravy train for them, either. Folks rip-off content, or go for lower margin services such as Pandora. Digital media sales have not kept up with the decline in traditional media sales. They need more premium services. But for premium services, you need a premium pipe.
So, the telecom and media companies have a point, whether you like it or not. Somebody's got to pay for the voracious, bandwidth chowing comsumption of free YouTube clips. That's why they're at the bargaining table with Google and the Internet world.
But does it mean you have to kill freedom to enable new premium services to be developed? No.
There has to be some framework of net neutraility that allows both the startups and the big telecom/media conglomerates to innovate at the same time, yeah?
Free beer really is great, but when the party's over, you've got to ask yourself, who paid for it?
