IIS 7 URL Rewrite Module support in WordPress 2.8
I am pleased to let everyone know that WordPress development community has added a built-in support for IIS 7 URL Rewrite Module in the upcoming WordPress 2.8 release. Starting with version 2.8 the Permalink Settings page will allow you to easily configure "Pretty Permalinks" URL structure when WordPress is running on IIS 7 with URL Rewrite Module v1.1 installed.
Here is how the process of updating Permalinks structure will look like in WordPress 2.8 on IIS 7:
- Go to Settings –> Permalinks page and choose the permalink structure that you prefer:
- After clicking on "Save Changes" button the generated rewrite rule will be displayed with the instructions on how to update the web.config file manually:
- Now you can copy the the given XML and put it into the web.config file inside of /<configuration>/<system.webServer>/<rewrite>/<rules> element and that's it!
- Alternatively – instead of manually editing the web.config file you can have WordPress to update it automatically for you. To do that, temporarily grant WordPress write access to web.config file and click on "Save Changes" again. WordPress will add its rewrite rule into the proper location inside of the web.config file. Do not forget to revert the write permission on web.config file after the rule has been saved.
If you want to try this functionality, as well as all the other new features in the upcoming WordPress 2.8 release, you can download the latest nightly build. Also, pretty soon the 2.8 beta will be available.
Thanks to the WordPress development community for adding this functionality! Specifically, big thanks to peaceablewhale, Denis-de-Bernardy, hakre, sivel and ryan for directly working on the patch and contributing to it in many different ways: testing, code reviewing, cleaning up the code and checking it in.

Hi, I need to add this rules for wordpress,
RewriteRule /tag/(.*) /index\.php\?tag=$1,but it's used on helicontech's software.I tried import in iis7 rewrite-module but it does't work! Can you help me change the rule to iis7? Thanks a lot!
ruslany responded on 22 May 2009 at 6:05 pm #
you will need to remove the slash at the beginning of the pattern. Also the substution url in your rule looks incorrect. Try this:
<rule name="somerule">
<match url="tag/(.*)" />
<action type="Rewrite" url="index.php?tag=$1″ />
Sayuri responded on 28 May 2009 at 2:21 pm #
Hello, we hav install WordPress 2.8 beta2 on IIS 7 with URL Rewrite Module v1.1, but we have no Code under the "Save Changes" button. We have write the code from your screen in the web.config but also a 500 Mistake. Sry my eglish issent good.
ruslany responded on 29 May 2009 at 12:33 am #
Sayuri, is IIS configured to run PHP via FastCGI? The WordPress will offer the pretty permalinks option only if PHP is running via FastCGI.
Also, when WordPress shows the permalink options, do they contain "index.php"?
Andrea responded on 29 May 2009 at 8:25 am #
We are working on permalinks – and I have same issue as Sayuri. How do we check to see if PHP is running on FastCGI. I think it is but not sure how to confirm.
Thanks you for posting this information about WP and IIS7!
ruslany responded on 29 May 2009 at 9:05 am #
There are three conditions that need to be true in order for WordPress 2.8 to offer pretty permalinks on IIS7:
1. PHP is running via FastCGI
2. PHP version 5 is used
3. URL Rewrite Module 1.1 is installed and enabled.
If any of those is not true then WordPress will work as in previous versions and will offer "Almost Pretty Permalinks" option.
To check if FastCGI is used, call phpinfo() function and check the "Server API". It should say "CGI/FastCGI". Alternatively, call php_sapi_name() function. It should return 'cgi-fcgi'.
Please let me know if you see all three conditions to be true and permalinks still do not work. I will investigate further.
Andrea responded on 29 May 2009 at 11:36 am #
Thanks for the extra info – we manually edited the cgi.config file and made it match what shows in your step #2 above.
it's working now. Thank you.
ruslany responded on 29 May 2009 at 3:23 pm #
Andrea, did WordPress show you the rewrite rule with the instructions text as shown in screenshot for step #2?

I am getting a fraking error on every page, every update of every field on the site since I upgraded to 2.8 iis. It is making me consider downgrading wordpress. I would appreciate any light on this issue:
PHP Warning: is_readable() [function.is-readable]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(C:\SITES\HypeScience.com\www/C:\SITES\HypeScience.com\www/wp-content/plugins/all-in-one-seo-pack/all_in_one_seo_pack-en_US.mo) is not within the allowed path(s): (C:\SITES) in C:\SITES\HypeScience.com\www\wp-includes\l10n.php on line 324
ruslany responded on 18 Jun 2009 at 11:15 pm #
Celso, thanks for reporting this. Looks like this is a bug in the plugin. It incorreclty passes an argument to a function load_plugin_textdomain, which causes the open_basedir warning.
You can work around it by changing the init function in all_in_one_seo_pack.php file to look like this:
function init() {
if (function_exists('load_plugin_textdomain'))
load_plugin_textdomain('all_in_one_seo_pack', false, 'all-in-one-seo-pack');
Note that after you change this you may run into another bug that only shows up with open_basedir enabled – http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/10132. That one will be fixed in 2.8.1.
Celso responded on 19 Jun 2009 at 12:24 pm #
Thanks man. I rolled back the plugin and things got better. But i am getting the open_basedir enabled. Will wait until the next until 281.
ruslany responded on 19 Jun 2009 at 1:15 pm #
The all-in-one-seo-pack plugin author has been informed of this bug and will look into fixing it in next plugin update.
Philip M. Hofer (Frumph) responded on 14 Jul 2009 at 10:35 pm #
Unfortunately the 2.8.1 release of wordpress only allows a single rule to be manipulated into the web.config and not multiple rules as such is needed for WPMU and future rules as needed.
Hopefully an update that loops through listed rulesets will fix this in a future patch.
- Phil
ruslany responded on 20 Jul 2009 at 11:04 am #
The patch for WPMU 2.8 has been provided and it should be fixed in future releases of WPMU.

recently i setup wordpress 2.8 with on IIS 7 with fastCGI and Rewrite Module is installed.
I am not seeing any code section as in screeshot #2, i want to have a url with out index.php so i setup custom structure to "/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/" but the links are not working.
Can you please guide me in fixing this issue.

Vijay, please check the conditions described in this comment and let me know what you find.
David Potter responded on 13 Nov 2009 at 6:56 pm #
Great module – thanks so much! 2 questions.
1. Your rewrite rule is different than the one created by WordPress. Is there a difference in performance or behavior between the two?
2. I'd like to have anyone who navigates using index.php receive a permanent redirect to the URL without the index.php. Is there a way to do that?
Here are my versions:
- Windows Server 2008 R2
- URL Rewrite Module v2.0 RC
- WordPress 2.8.5
ruslany responded on 15 Nov 2009 at 3:33 pm #
1. No, there is no difference in performance. URL rewrite module caches the rewrite rules logic, so it does not matter if wildcard or regex is used for the rule. The wordpress rule uses wildcard patterns, because it is simpler.
2. It is relatively easy to do. Just create a redirect rule that has pattern "^index\.php" and then redirects to "/". Place this rule before the rewrite rule generated by the wordpress.

ruslany responded on 18 Jan 2010 at 10:26 am #
Sunil, can you open the php.ini file used by your PHP installation and check what is the value specified for the open_basedir directive? I suspect that it may have been specified incorrectly. The paths should be separated by ";", but in your case it looks like they are separated by ":".

I am getting a 404 error on all my posts after implementing this change. Do you know why that might be? I meet all the requirements
php 5.2.9
iis 7
url rewrite 2.0
I set the proper permissions and let WP modify my web.config the rule got created ok and everything works on the site EXCEPT for posts.
a43 responded on 08 Feb 2010 at 12:58 pm #
Hi Ruslan,
I am trying to redirect all of my blogengine like urls to my wordpress blog but struggling to accomplish this task. Please help!
blogengine url format: http://www.mydomain.com/post/2010/02/07/this-is-the-post-title.aspx
wordpress url: http://www.mydomain.com/2010/02/07/this-is-the-post-title/
I've added a new rule along with the wordpress rule for some reason i am getting the old 404 error when I try the blogengine url format.
The site is hosted on ISS7 and PHP5 (godaddy windows shared hosting)
please have a look at my web.config and let me know if i am doing anything wrong:
<rule name="Redirect(301) all legacy BlogEngine posts">
<match url="(/20[0-9][0-9]/\d{2}/\d{2}/)(.*).aspx" />
<action type="Rewrite" url="{R:0}{R:1}/" />
<rule name="wordpress" patternSyntax="Wildcard">
<match url="*" />
<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" />
<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true" />
<action type="Rewrite" url="index.php" />
Please Note: the wordpress rewrite works fine.
ruslany responded on 09 Feb 2010 at 5:29 pm #
@a43: This is most probably because the pattern for the redirect rule is incorrect. Try this rule instead:
<rule name="Redirect(301) all legacy BlogEngine posts">
<match url="^post/(20[0-9][0-9]/\d{2}/\d{2}/)(.*).aspx" />
<action type="Rewrite" url="{R:1}{R:2}/" />
a43 responded on 10 Feb 2010 at 10:28 am #
Ruslan, thanks for the reply.
I did try your rule unfortunately it didn't work, still getting the 404 error.
after loads of googling and "trail and error" managed to get the following rule to work on my environment:
<rule name="Redirect(301) all legacy BlogEngine posts" stopProcessing="true">
<match url=".aspx" />
<add input="{HTTP_URL}" negate="false" pattern="(/20[0-9][0-9]/\d{2}/\d{2}/)(.*)\.aspx" />
<action type="Redirect" url="{C:1}{C:2}/" redirectType="Permanent" />
can you see any differences? I still can't understand why your suggested rule didn't work.
ruslany responded on 10 Feb 2010 at 12:42 pm #
My rule did not work because its pattern starts with ^post. It looks like your URLs do not actually start with /post, so if you modify the rule pattern to be "(20[0-9][0-9]/\d{2}/\d{2}/)(.*).aspx$" then it should work. Note that it is important to not have the "/" at the beginning of the pattern.

I have tried to apply it on my site, which runs on IIS 7, unfortunately it seems to be working only when the page slug is written in english.
When I try to click on a page where the slug is in hebrew letters such as פרופיל (Profile) it goes to my custom 404 page.
Is there any solution for this? Thank you.
ruslany responded on 02 Mar 2010 at 11:46 am #
@Shir: there is a known issue in IIS 7 FastCGI module in how it handles the REQUEST_URI server variable for non-ascii characters. IIS team is planning to provide an update for it soon.
Meanwhile you can use this workaround:
In the wp-config.php file add this code:
if (isset($_SERVER['UNENCODED_URL']))
Shir responded on 14 Mar 2010 at 11:09 am #
Hi, Thank you for your reply… but it doesn't seems to work …
Thanks, I guess we will just have to wait for it to be solved.

my wordpress is installed in a subfolder (blog.domain.com)
how do we know that URL Rewrite Module 1.1 is installed and enabled?
i try to add the rewrite code in the web.config but i receive error 500.. may i know how to solve?
ruslany responded on 25 Mar 2010 at 2:09 pm #
If you try to add the rewrite rule and get error 500 then most probably the url rewrite module is not installed. You can check if it is installed and enabled by using this code in PHP script:
< ?php
if (isset($_SERVER['IIS_UrlRewriteModule']))
echo 'URL Rewrite Module is installed';
echo 'URL Rewrite Module is not installed';

I have installed a Windows 2008 Server R2 and I have installed WordPress via the "Web App Gallery".
When trying to change the permalinks settings in the WP admin panel, I see the XML code I should enter in the web.config file.
The web.config in the root of the webserver only contains the values that WP suggested.
When I go to a individual post on the WP website, I get an IIS7 404 error page …
How can I check what version of URL rewrite and all the other things (PHP? FastCGI?) I have installed?

Hello Sir,
Thanx for you support , i have normally uploaded and installed WordPress 3.0 and actually i have iis6 . and my host provider said me that he don't know about URL rewrite module . So please tell me is there any solution which is done by my side only . Thanx ones again .
ruslany responded on 30 Jul 2010 at 10:18 am #
Hi Arif,
The URL Rewrite Module is not supported for IIS 6. You may want to ask your hosting provider if they would consider installing a third party URL Rewriting solutions on their servers, e.g. ISAPI_Rewrite.

My web hoster has the URL Rewrite module installed, and the pretty permalinks are working fine. However, navigating to the home page results in a 404. So, http://blogs.adambarney.com/tech/ is getting the 404. Disabling pretty permalinks will cause this error to go away.
Any ideas?
ruslany responded on 27 Aug 2010 at 1:34 pm #
Adam, the 404 message that you are getting – is it a WordPress page saying that page is not found or is it a standard IIS 404 message?
KBK responded on 03 Sep 2010 at 3:35 pm #
Hey there,
My server has PHP 5.2.13 installed, and it is running via the FastCGI module. Also, the URL Rewrite module is enabled as well, and its version number looks to be 7.1.0761.0.
Media uploaded media uploads fine – no errors, photos make thumbnails & 2 other sizes fine – can see all of these files when I ftp in, can pull media down via ftp and view it… but the url path to the original media file (unresized) returns 500 error when used in a page – or even just in a browser. Here's an original jpg for instance:
Resized versions show up fine: http://www.beyondthepasta.com/wp-content/uploads/Rome-from-the-Pincian-Hill-300×242.jpg
but not the original file – which is definitely there.
Here is my web.config:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!– <httpErrors existingResponse="Replace" errorMode="Detailed" />–>
<remove value="index.php" />
<add value="index.php" />
<rewrite><rules><clear />
<rule name="wordpress" patternSyntax="Wildcard">
<match url="*" />
<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" />
<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true" />
<action type="Rewrite" url="index.php" />
Thank you for any assistance I will be bald soon if I don't figure this out!

Hi Brian, you can create the web.config yourself and then add there the rewrite rule. You can copy the rewrite rule from the Settings -> Permalinks page in WordPress.

Create an emply text file called web.config and paste there the xml that wordpress gives you. Then save/upload this file to your wordpress site's root directory.

Hi Ruslany, sorry to bring this post up :0) I'm used to 1-click install of wp and now, I have to move my site (WP 3.1.2) to my own server (IIS). The people who are migrating my website, are telling me that the cannot migrate it, because, on IIS, .htacces URL rewriting is not supported. I have read your post and was wondering if I install wordpress, mysql, that I install/activate URL rewriting module and FASTCGI, is there anything that can go wrong?
Thank you in advance!
ruslany responded on 20 May 2011 at 8:35 pm #
Hi Climatiseur, if you have IIS 7.+ then it support URL rewriting and you can follow the instructions in this post to configure wordpress to use it. I would suggest to install PHP on your server by using web platform installer. That way there is very little change that something is misconfigured or goes wrong.
Artem responded on 29 Jun 2011 at 4:23 am #
Hi ruslany!
Can I use this rewrite rules without installing URL Rewrite Module? – for example, add some modules to my project (such as if RIA service wasn't installed, i can add few modules to bin directory and it works)
…or there are one way – ask my hoster to install this?
ruslany responded on 29 Jun 2011 at 8:46 am #
Hi Artem, unfortunately it is not possible to just drop dll's to the bin folder. This is a native module (for performance reasons) and requires registration with IIS. So the only way is to ask hoster to install it. At this point it has been around for a while and has proven to work very well. It also has Windows supplemental license, meaning that it is part of the Windows OS and gets the same support as any other Windows OS component. So I do not see any reason why hoster would still not want to enable it on their environment.
Oliver responded on 24 Aug 2011 at 9:43 am #

I am having the same problem, seems like I have everything working apart from when you go to the root of my wordpress blog it returns 404 error. See here: http://www.cccit.co.uk/news
But if you go to one of my test posts http://www.cccit.co.uk/news/test-post
It is working fine. Any ideas? It would be very much appriecated!
Thank you,
ruslany responded on 25 Aug 2011 at 11:24 pm #
Hi Oli,
If I request http://www.cccit.co.uk/news/index.php then it serves the page. It looks to me that the default document setting is not setup. I am not sure which web server you have, but if it is IIS then you need to add index.php to the list of default documents.
Oliver responded on 26 Aug 2011 at 2:41 am #
Hello again,
Sorry to keep posting you can probably partly ignore the above posts. I may have misunderstood what you ment.
Where can I set the default document type for this site, without it affecting the other sites I have hosted. Do I add a line of code to the web.config file or do I log into the server and go to IIS Manager –> Default Document
At this stage I'm really not sure what I'm doing, but I don't want to cause issues to my other sites. Thanks again.
Oliver responded on 26 Aug 2011 at 3:30 am #
Ok ignore all past posts… very sorry. I have now found a soloution.
I have just copied all the code from the example on this page into my web.config file
Thanks again for asking the right question to get me thinking.
Great site by the way!

first of all, I searched for all kind of permalinks solutions and this seems to be the only one working, many many many thanks ruslany!!
However: I've the same problem as stated above (Oliver): everything works perfect, except the homepage it works when i put index.php behind it. I don't really understand the solution, explaining it in simple words would be so awesome. Many thanks in advance!!

Hi Mark, it looks like the index.php is not added as a default document in iis. Try adding it as described in this post.

Economists, implicated
February 19, 2011 3 Comments
John Maynard Keynes famously wrote that "[i]f economists could manage to get themselves thought of as humble, competent people on a level with dentists, that would be splendid". Many economists, somewhat uncharacteristically, might well be craving that type of anonymity at the moment. Because they've been getting a hard time of it. And the discipline may be about to get even less popular.
The arrival of the film Inside Job is likely to fuel the public's anger at bankers for causing the financial crisis. And not only causing the financial crisis, but subsequently carrying on with business pretty much as usual, while the fallout of the crash is felt in public spending cuts, unemployment and welfare benefit reductions.
But the film does more than that. It broadens the scope of criticism to implicate a range of other professionals. It wasn't just the corporate bankers: lawyers, central bankers, accountancy firms, lobbyists and government officials were also complicit in pushing a deregulatory agenda. Their actions magnified systemic risk and increased the instability of the financial system in ways that theory said shouldn't happen. The real world clearly hadn't read the script.
In amongst the culprits identified are academic economists. Read more of this post

Government Service the Supreme Duty
By HENRY A. WALLACE, Vice-President of the United States
Delivered before a meeting sponsored by the Independent Voters Committee of the Arts and Sciences for Roosevelt,Madison Square Garden, New York City, September 21, 1944
Vital Speeches of the Day, Vol. X, pp. 760-763.
MY good friends, Orson Welles, Jo Davidson, good friends all of you: Tonight I see America as a vigilant watcher and perpetual guardian of the ramparts of the future. This future has one essential—the continuous rebirth of liberalism. The light of this liberalism is all important, not only to the United States but to the far corners of the earth.
Should the ignorance of the selfish, the blindness of the fearful or the designs of the international freebooters capture Washington, where then would be the victories of Berlin and Tokyo, either for us or for the world?
You may well ask what I mean by a liberal person. A liberal is a person who in all his actions is continuously asking, "What is best for all the people—not merely what is best for me personally?" Abraham Lincoln was a liberal when he said he was both for the man and the dollar, but in case of conflict he was for the man before the dollar. Christ was the greatest liberal of all when He put life before things—when He said to seek the Kingdom of Heaven first and things would take care of themselves. Great artists, actors and scientists must be great liberals because in order to create great things they are compelled, for a time at least, to forget "self." In the fever of enthusiasm they strive to create a new beauty, to discover a new truth, to serve mankind in a new way.
The most important seedbed of the future for the production of great scientists, great artists and great liberal leaders is our twenty million white collar workers. These are the forgotten men and women. During war the cost of living always runs away from their wages. They are poorly organized, but any liberal movement if it is to succeed should remember that it must not only represent farmers and factory workers but also the white collar workers and their cousins, the small businessmen.
To us, who realize the supreme importance of the continuous rebirth of liberalism to meet changing conditions, it is peculiarly appropriate at this time to pay tribute to the memory of one of the greatest American liberals, who more than any other showed his capacity to change in order to meet new conditions—George W. Norris. Norris, a Protestant, a Middle Westerner, a Republican and a dry supported Al Smith in 1928 because he believed Al was more liberal than Herbert Hoover. Norris felt even happier in supporting Roosevelt in 1932, 1936, 1940 and 1944. Rooseveltsaw eye to eye with Norris on the Tennessee Valley Authority, farm relief, rural electrification and foreign policies.
Roosevelt, like Norris, had fought the forces of evil in both parties. Norris said about Roosevelt, "He is the nearest right on the power issue of any man in public life." Roosevelt said about Norris, "To those who would say that Senator Norris has been no respecter of parties I would suggest something more important: the forces of evil are far less respecters of parties. They are the lineal descendants of the men and the organizations who called Jefferson a 'radical'; who called Jackson a 'demagogue'; who called Lincoln a 'crackpot idealist'; who called Theodore Roosevelt a 'wild man'; who called Woodrow Wilson an 'impractical idealist.' Senator Norris, I go along with you because it is my honest belief that you follow in their footsteps—radical like Jefferson, demagogue like Jackson, idealist like Lincoln, wild like Theodore Roosevelt, theorist like Wilson—dare to be all of these, as you have in bygone years."
Yes, dare to be all of these, as you have in bygone years. Here Roosevelt issued a challenge to Norris which he met to the last days of his life. One of my most cherished possessions is a five-page letter written by Norris on Aug. 19 of this year, a few days before his fatal illness, in which he demonstrated perhaps for the last time his unfailing devotion to the liberal ideals which meant everything to him.
Norris is dead, but another liberal equally close to Roosevelt, and even closer to the heart of labor, lives. I refer to Senator Wagner. No man ever has or ever will sponsor so much vital labor legislation. No man has fought more continuously for a square deal for labor, regardless of race or color. No Senator has more constantly pled the cause of the Jew seeking a haven of safety.
Senator Wagner is running for re-election. The liberals of the nation will watch the outcome of this election with great eagerness to see whether one of the finest of American liberals is again returned to a place of usefulness and service. Were I a citizen of New York it would be my proud privilege to vote for Wagner and Roosevelt.
No view of the future in the light of liberalism, as represented by President Roosevelt and Senator Wagner, can overlook the necessity of planning the inclusion of all the people in the economic, educational and political progress which only such liberalism can guarantee. And by all the people I want specifically to include the Negro and every other minority group. If that means a permanent Fair Employment Practices Committee, patterned after the committee already established by the President, then we must have it. If that means Federal aid to education such as was killed in this Congress by the Republicans, then we must provide it. If that means abolition of the poll tax, then the poll tax must go. I repeat what I have said before and shall always believe—in an economic, educational and political sense there must be no inferior races.
There are ninety million people in the United States who could vote if all were permitted to vote. The more potential voters who register and vote, the more democracy. And I am firm in the belief that the more voters we have the more liberalism we shall enjoy, and therefore the greater hope for America and for the world. I am talking in New York. I use New York as an example. On Oct. 12 registration is over, and so there is a double duty of registering before Oct. 12 and voting on Nov. 7. Since he who does not register does not vote, I urge all Americans to register so that the largest number of Americans in history may reach the polls on Nov. 7.
The problem in this campaign is not one of indispensability. The only issue confronting us is: who of the two men can better handle the following two problems:
1. Who can the better cooperate with Churchill, Stalin and the Generalissimo in writing a lasting, liberal, democratic peace which will best preserve American interests without being unfair to any nation, big or small?
2. Who can best make sure that there are jobs for everybody, and therefore good incomes for farmers, white-collar workers, business and professional men?
Who scores higher as we pose these two problems? I know your answer.
Even the most ardent Republican knows that Roosevelt has the precious asset of long acquaintance as he deals with Churchill and Stalin. He has met them face to face. He knows their innermost reactions because he has been in continuous, almost daily contact with them for several years. Even a reactionary will not lightly vote to toss such knowledge into the discard.
Moreover, all middle-aged Republicans in favor of permanent peace will remember how Harding betrayed their peace ideals in 1920 and 1921. In spite of everything Dewey has said, the isolationists are still going to vote Republican in 1944. Just as Harding placated the isolationists in 1921, so Dewey would be under the necessity of placating the isolationists in 1945. The Republican party, in spite of the millions of its members who think clearly about international affairs, has been, is now and will be the channel through which the isolationists, the cartellists and the international freebooters work best.
I am glad to bring you a bit of information which should cheer us all to greater and more confident effort. During the past month I have spent most of my time among active workers, seeking my own education on the great subject of post-war employment. There has been time for many quesf tions. Four out of five of the people I met believe post-war jobs and a durable peace the two most important problems of their lives. Two-thirds of the people think Roosevelt is the man best equipped to fashion a permanent peace. A majority think that Roosevelt is the best hope for the management of post-war domestic affairs. Three out of four say Roosevelt is the man to finish the war. I am not forecasting. I am merely telling you what I heard and what was said by a cross-section of the people. I am telling you this because I returned to Washington from each of four trips more than ever convinced that the American people can't be frightened, can't be confused and are moving ahead in calm bravery toward the future and its problems.
There is one especial reason this year which makes a ballot Nov. 7 of unusual value. In this democracy we are dedicated to the principle that the majority rules. There are these ninety million potential voters. Forecasters who make up what are called polls regarding future events have estimated at Princeton, N. J., that only forty million of the ninety million will vote. The additional information is volunteered that a vote below forty million should result in a victory for the conservatives. The same sources declare that nineteen million conservatives are certain to vote against Roosevelt and that only eighteen million other people are certain to vote for Roosevelt.
Well, I am not a conservative. I do not for one moment believe that the American people are not alive to the vital importance of registering and voting in this most important electoral year in the history of our country. I believe that over forty-million people, a clear majority of the electorate, will vote Nov. 7. And I am willing to take the conservative statement from Princeton that forty-five million votes means victory with Roosevelt.
A reactionary does not believe in, nor does he hope for, a forty-five million vote Nov. 7. Such a man merely wants a conservative victory. He wants Roosevelt beaten. He doesn't care how. He doesn't care whether the soldier, or the war worker away from home, gets maximum help from his Governor. For such a man, victory is its own significance. Only a full registration and a maximum vote will express the new liberalism and guarantee the hope of this world for permanent peace and maximum jobs.
As we liberals strive to blueprint the future we give first place in our hearts to "Jobs for All," in health and in security. Any modern Government, post-war, which is not dedicated to full employment will fail its people. Such a Government deserves to fall. Such a Government will be discarded. It is not enough to protect factories in reconversion. It is absolutely imperative to protect people in reconversion.
In all earnestness I say again that it is not enough to fix up our war production plants by granting tax relief to big capital. Twenty billion of tax relief for factory and machinery and capital structure will not do all this job. The blue print calls for an orderly and efficient change-over of thirty million workers from wartime and fighting jobs to full peacetime work. Any Government which fails in this maximum ideal, fails all. Any Government which does not give confidence to our workers and farmers, and to the great white collar twenty millions, that they shall not be idle, will be responsible for a panic mass movement.
This panic would find millions in ill-considered shifting, each man trying to find the safest spot, many men forgetting that each should, in calm bravery, stand at his lathe or plow his furrow, until the job of Tokyo and Berlin is done—until the boys who have done the job of Tokyo and Berlin are back with us in work and comradeship. All may help in this—the individual, the businessman, and our Governments—city and county and State and national.
It has been my privilege recently—since the Chicago convention, in fact—to travel through the South, New England and the Middle East, talking to farmers, workers, businessmen about the reconversion of human beings. Everywhere I have found optimism and courage. I have returned to Washington from these trips each time refreshed in the] knowledge that our people will be calm. They, these American people, are grown up. They will not be frightened by those who say that their Government would abuse them. They don't believe absurd charges that their Government would keep one man at war for one minute longer than is necessary to win a total victory.
And they know that every right thinking American believes that his Government will meet the terrific post-war) employment problem in the spirit of fairness. Those who say otherwise are self-seeking. Those who say otherwise do not know the American people. You can't scare the American people this way.
Next after "Jobs for All" we liberals emphasize the willingness—yes, the eagerness—of all men in health, to work. There can be no sit-down strikes of idle seeking the dole. In my trips I never found a single man who wanted to be idle. But I found hundreds who were thinking and planning for healthful work so that their churches, their homes, and their families might inherit the fruits of victory in peace and gainful labor.
Third in our liberal blueprint we would underline the problem of the returned soldier. Wise laws have already been passed at Washington and by nearly every State, giving job priority to the volunteer and the man drafted into war work and the fighting line. The military authorities, for instance, have provided questionnaires for each soldier to sign regarding his former job. It will be known by every draft board and in every community whether a soldier wants his job back or whether he wants some other kind of work.
There will have to be much readjustment. Five hundred thousand businesses have been closed since Pearl Harbor. An equal number of new businesses must be started as civilian demand and the backlog of civilian need swings the country from war to peace.
A wise government, believing in humanity, should be adequate to protect the relocation of men and women with the least waste and the least idleness and the most promptness. There is not time here to fill in the detail. Some of the broad outlines may be mentioned. This country needs a peacetime industry producing at least one hundred seventy billion dollars annually at present price levels of peacetime goods and services. With war needs over, one hundred and seventy billion dollars of peacetime activity will mean 60 per cent more clothing to be enjoyed; will mean a better food standard; will mean better housing; will provide for the housewife those labor-saving devices and home comforts which modern invention has so ably conceived and executed.
A brave America knows that we have the factories and the machines and the great backlog of savings. Who should tell us that the consuming market is not here? Who should tell us that private American industry and a half million new businesses will not be ready and anxious to fill the need and to wait on the customer? The man who tells us such things is self-seeking or ignorant. The man who would approach the business of government leadership in fear and accusation, shall not merit the confidence of a work-willing people.
When a willing people on farm, in mine, in factory, in the professions, in transportation, and in other service, goes forward toward full peacetime employment, there is reason to believe that three-fourths of the problem will take care of itself. There will, of course, be much to be done by the minute men of peacetime conversion in the cities, in the States and in the nation. For instance, Lynchburg, Va., has its plan; Worcester, Mass., has its plan; the State of Rhode Island has its plan; the forward-looking Governor of Georgia is on his way with post-war jobs for Georgia. The bankers and large corporations are necessary but have no monopoly on peacetime reconversion. The job is a human one. Liberals looking forward know this. You know it. Roosevelt knows it. I wonder if certain other people know it?
Tonight we should look ahead to the Washington scene post-war. After all, what the Federal Government does will act as encouragement and inspiration for every State and every community. The national blueprint must come from Washington, after private industry, the county, the city and the State have contributed their all. I believe the best guarantee that Washington will do its full share comes from the examination of the facts.
What has Roosevelt done since Hoover left off? What has Roosevelt done since Pearl Harbor to keep inflation from engulfing this country? What has Roosevelt done to see that our soldiers became the best equipped and the best fed, and that there was still enough left for all the healthful needs of those who remained behind to make and build for victory?
These facts are your guide. These facts should govern your vote as you seek to choose between one of the two men.
It would be absurd to attack the motives of any man seeking national leadership. Certainly both Dewey and Roosevelt will do their level best if called upon to serve. The first question to decide is one of equipment and experience. Who can better provide for permanent peace and full employment—Dewey or Roosevelt? What do you say?
I pause here to say that no man can run this country by himself. If Roosevelt is to carry on he is charged, as you are charged with the duty of having the ablest body of teammates. If a wartime President may draft men to fight, certainly a peacetime President may call on the brains of this country to work full time in the most exciting battle of modern times—the battle against depression, against panic, against defeatism; the battle for full employment, national health, and permanent peace.
There is no peacetime job for profit or self which ever again will be paramount over the needs of all. Government service must be the supreme duty when the need is determined. There can be no slackers as we fight for the common man in his pursuit of the richer life. I don't favor the dollar-a-year plan; I do believe that this Government, at fair wages, has the first call on all for all.
Especially where brains and leadership are in demand, no private industry should have the right to bid unfairly for private profit against government and public necessity. A sit-down strike of brains needed by Government should be impossible in the days to come.
The opponents of what Roosevelt stands for will question the right of the Government of all the people to call on the best brains for peacetime service. These same critics of Roosevelt first questioned the right of Government to draft men to fight. These same critics questioned Congress when the President was given power to take over factories for maximum war production.
These same critics, who under no circumstances would vote for Roosevelt, will be the loudest in demanding that government and the people take second place—that the needs of men are second to the needs of profit and immediate dollars. And if, on Nov. 7, these men win because people are too excited to register or too far from a voting place to vote, we may return to a normalcy of a Harding and a ten-year decay into the panic of a Hoover.
Our people are winning a magnificent military victory against despotism. Our people shall also win a victory even more exciting than the victories of the war. The constructive victory of the peace to come will be won on the farm, in the factory and at the fireside. Those who believe in human rights as a first love and a first duty shall win the peace.
The new liberalism shall carry on responsibly and bravely confident that peace on earth and good-will toward men is a practical endeavor. There shall never be a return to the normalcy of yesteryear—to normalcy for the few and subnormalcy for the many. We welcome—yes, we shall fight for something we have never had—the normalcy of the good life for everybody.

Two days after the attacks of September 11, one of the workers helping with the recovery and cleanup efforts discovered an intact steel beam cross amidst the rubble. The cross was left in place for several weeks, and became a spot where people prayed and left messages. A few weeks later on October 4, 2001, it was placed on a pedestal nearby and continued to serve as a shrine. Then, in October 2006, it was relocated to St. Peter's Roman Catholic Church, which faces the World Trade Center site. I took this picture in front of St. Peter's on June 12, 2009.

This article is from the archive of our partner .
Months after notoriously dropping into a White House event uninvited, thereby winning a spot on The Real Housewives of D.C., socialite couple Tareq and Michaele Salahi have reached that apex of reality-TV fame: self-parody. On Tuesday night they did a staged, silent fake-crash of David Letterman's show, pretending to interrupt his monologue for a 3-second paparazzi photo-op. Tareq seems to enjoy the joke as much as the audience.
After they swoop offstage, Letterman quipped:
See it's interesting to me. For all practical purposes they're trespassing. But the crowd goes wild!
Now that they're a punchline, of course, any concern with the Salahis as a security risk is long gone. As Letterman concluded,
If those people crashed a party of mine--there was a mix-up in the invitations and they showed up--it wouldn't bother me.

Build Team Trust … Fast.
How to encourage people to do what they say they're going to do.
Trust is weaved into almost every aspect of our lives. I trusted that my car would get me to the airport this morning, that the pilots and crew would get me to Washington D.C., and that my cab driver would find my hotel. This all comes so naturally. So why does the role of trust in collaboration inside organizations remain such a mystery?
For more than 150 years, organizations have been organized in silos that breed internal competition for resources. The psychology of competing with your teammates for resources, in turn, encouraged an insidious way of working: passive-aggressive behaviors where humans work side-by-side but work subtly against each other even though they are employed by the same firm.
Trust anchors every successful collaborative team.
We researched at Cisco the most important factors in creating trust on collaboration teams, and the single most important factor is revealing: do people do what they say they are going to do?
As leaders, it is up to us to be overtly aggressive at vanquishing passive-aggressive behaviors and building real, human trust. We have no choice in our hyper-connected world where change is constant and work is increasingly global, mobile and virtual. As distance and time condense, it stresses out the calmest of us as we scramble to meet deadlines while working with people that likely we've never met.
So what's the key to building team trust?
"Replace uncertainty with clarity. Articulate the team's purpose and establish up front what you expect from each member." The Collaboration Imperative
How to build a team charter
A team charter helps clarify a team's purpose, role, shared goals and scope; a charter eliminates ambiguity of expectations. As leaders, we can make a team charter the focal point around which the team builds healthy collaboration habits.
It's possible to move beyond your gut feel and hope trust develops on your team; it is possible to operationalize it. Trust is too important to, well, just trust that it'll happen. To that end, we've found that a team charter is most effective when it is composed of five elements:
- Team purpose: describes specific challenges, opportunities or tasks the team will address (and also expectations).
- Team role: teams form for different reasons. Know why your team exists – is it to align a group around an initiative? Is it to execute a priority together? What are the different roles of individuals on the team? Read more about various team roles in Chapter 5 of "The Collaboration Imperative".
- Shared goals: most collaborative teams have people from different backgrounds, functions and even companies. Make sure despite your differences, you're all chasing the same goals. These goals allow you to create a specific definition of what success looks like and allow you to map your goals to performance management
- Scope: establish well-defined boundaries of what you hope to do. These "guardrails" allow you to say no to 'scope creep'! This helps members determine their time commitment and helps the team as a whole stay on track.
- Establish ground rules. Put ground rules in place for team procedures and processes (including meeting logistics), how you use your time together, who makes final decisions, how to resolve conflict, and how respect and courtesy are paramount.
A team charter is a powerful means to enable trust-building on your collaboration teams. Keep in mind that a team charter should be paired with a common vocabulary. Sweat the details of your team's vocabulary. Ask if everyone on the team has the same definitions in their heads for the vocabulary you are using to articulate the charter. Don't let the definition of a word be the reason trust is derailed!
The management science is pretty clear here: teams that trust each other outperform teams that don't. Are you outperforming?

Hi Ron,
Great post on trust. All my research shows that a lack of trust and a breakdown in communications (which is linked to trust) are they main reasons alliances, partnerships, customer relationships, and internal projects derail. Trust is hard to build but so quick and easy to lose. Once lost it can take an enormous amount of time and resources to recover from. Best to get trust established from the beginning of a relationship and work to keep it.
The other thing I've learn't is that unclear roles and responsibilities is another reason collaboration fails. I endorse your thoughts around 'articulating the team's purpose and establish up front what you expect from each member', it's a key ingredient to successful collaboration.
Technology is enabling collaborative workers to really engage and share ideas and information – which helps teams across boundaries and between partners work together. However, the human element needs driving home to leaders because they still need a lot of help with this.
Thanks for sharing.

How to Pick Up Healthy Habits
- Written by News Feature Team
When you're rushing between work and having little to no time to relax at home, it's easy to let yourself fall into the category of being unhealthy. A typical day for most people is waking up, dragging yourself to your car to sit in stressful rush hour traffic, enduring a busy 9 – 5 and then driving home in yet another rush hour to simply go to bed and start it all again. If this sounds like you, these top tips will ensure that you can balance a healthy lifestyle with a busy work life.
Fix Your Sleep Cycle
Although sleeping in late on your day off is very tempting, it's important to keep in a routine of waking up early and not staying up late. This allows you more time throughout the day to do what you've planned to and will also make you feel better both physically and mentally. If you adapt to a regular sleep pattern, you'll get more energy throughout the day and feel better in yourself, when you are able perform more tasks throughout the day. In contrast, sleeping in makes you feel more tired and less likely to want to get up and get moving.
Make Time for Loved Ones
Healthy habits don't just stop at physical health, mental health is just as important when dealing with a busy work life. Even though your schedule can be hectic at times, try your best to make time for your family and friends. If you start to isolate yourself to focus on your work, your mental health will decline and your relationships with your loved ones will be affected. Even just a phone call can be enough to let out your feelings and catch up with your friends, but make sure that you see people on a regular basis to avoid isolation, this will be beneficial to both your mental health and your relationships.
Sell Your Car
If your commute to work isn't a long one, or is achievable by taking the bus or walking, there's always the option to sell your car. This option not only will give you some extra cash, but will also get you into the habit of walking more, allowing you to exercise and enjoy the fresh air. When you've been sitting at a desk all day and then sitting in your car on your commute, there's not much time left in your day for exercise. Not only good for your physical health, this is also beneficial to your mental health. Don't worry any more about the stress of rush hour or finding a parking space, just simply take a stroll, and enjoy the scenery.
Change Your Diet
If you admittedly don't have the best diet, changing it up can be very beneficial. Focus less on fatty, salty foods and try to eat more balanced meals. Preparing meals at home will deter you from buying fast food whilst on your work break, and a healthy smoothie is proven to help your focus. Eating healthy will not only help you in the moment, but will be beneficial to your health in the long run. With many tasty options, green is the way to go.
Stress management, time management and sleep cycles are all beneficial to a healthy lifestyle that anyone can adopt. Even with a full schedule, these tips will help you to get your health – and your life – back on track.

Williams felt the need to explain her outfit at the Australian Open, and to explain that yes, she is wearing underwear.
"The whole idea is just an illusion, and illusion is that I'm wearing like a deep V-neck," she said.
"Obviously, the most effective part of the illusion are the slits. Then the idea was to wear shorts that were like the same color as my skin."
"So it works very well apparently."
Venus Williams on her designs:
"This is completely my design…" she said. "When I design, I just try to stay true to me and just try to express who I am in the designs.
"I think I'm fashion-forward, but at the same time, I think I'm really classical. Anything I wear on the court probably you could wear 20 years from now."

The Lotto Black Book Review
Is it really possible to learn a winning lotto system with
The Lotto Black Book
? Some people refuse to believe in lottery systems, thinking that they are completely about luck and that lotto systems are nothing but scams. Yet, many punters wish to believe that there is a way to improve their chances of winning the lottery. So is a guide like this
lotto black book
guide really legitimate?
Click HERE to Learn More About The Lotto Black Book
1. How Can The Lotto Black Book Increase your Chances of Winning the Lottery?
There is no guarantee that the methods described in this
lotto black book
guide will certainly help you win the lottery in the near future, but I have found out that it certainly improves a person's chances after I won my first lotto following the methods in this system. Readers of this guide will learn to pick numbers that are more inclined to hit over those that are less probable.
2. Does The Lotto Black Book Really Work?
If you are thinking that this is impossible, you would think otherwise once you see the statistical proof and methods utilized. So far, I am pleased with this
lotto black book
guide as it has fulfilled its promises of being able to help me with picking more important numbers, improving but of course not guaranteeing my chances of winning the lottery.
3. What is The Lotto Black Book All About?
This book is not about understanding mathematical formulas and complicated stuff to benefit from. However, you would do well to have a basic understanding of how statistics work and how the lottery system works. In fact, even beginners who have absolutely no experience with playing the lottery will get a complete education about it by reading the beginner's section of the manual. One misconception that many beginners have is that numbers that have not come up in the past are more likely to come up in the future.

How "The Lottery Black Book" System Works?
Step #1
* Get yourself a notebook only for the lottery. Establish the lotto game that you want to play and track down the winning numbers exactly how I teach you in my book.
Step #2
* After you have all the winning numbers, apply this simple FORMULA (find it in my book) that gives you the 48. 7% chance of winning every time we play.
Step #3
* Wait for the results and see how it worked. If you win, go and take your prize. I repeat, there' s a big chance to win the very first time … but it can happen that you may not win. Don' t despair … I told you that the efficiency of my FORMULA can be seen within just a few weeks.
Step #4
* If you win, repeat the process over and over again. If you don' t win … be patient and play again. It' s more of a " When" situation instead of an " IF" .
Step #5
* Don' t share your information with anyone else. Think what would happen if all the players have the secret key …
Step #6
* After you WIN, be careful to keep a low profile. There are a lot of desperate people, especially with this crisis, who will do anything for your money.
Step #7
* Make a donation. This way you'll be achieving peace of mind. It feels good … Don' t be greedy!

Forget fad diets and counting calories. Those simply are not sustainable long term. Not for me and not for MOST people. The more I learn, the more I'm convinced that to be truly healthy, not to mention a more responsible citizen of our planet, we must consume more food that is unprocessed and resembles what it looks like in nature. Real food, not food like products. Real food, not food coated in chemicals and preservatives.
There is a lot of information out there for you to research yourself, but at the core of this "Real Food" movement there is basically a lot of common sense. Put simply, our bodies were designed to function a certain way and to need certain nutrients. These nutrients are the fuel for our body. If you put something in your body it wasn't designed to process or digest, it seems a logical conclusion that our bodies will malfunction. Considering the vast majority of the "food" we consume as Americans comes in a box or can, with chemicals and preservatives and huge amounts of refined sugar (which is NOT a real food - it's found nowhere in nature), it's no wonder we are so sick, tired, out of shape and overweight!
So, we are making changes around here. The 100 Days of Real Food blog has been a great resource for me in taking the plunge towards an unprocessed life. I highly encourage you to check it out. Now, I'm not saying I'm perfect or that we don't eat ANY processed food anymore. In fact, there is macaroni and cheese in my pantry, and I fed my kids frozen waffles from a box this morning (they were partially whole grain...but that's only partially helpful). I will still choose to eat fast food from time to time and won't be picky when eating at others' homes. I'm not about to analyze another's cooking with questions like, "Is this bread really whole grain or is it made from enriched white flour," and "Is this cheese organic and local or did you buy it from Wal-Mart?" There are some things that are just out of our control and it's not my desire to disrupt other people's lives because of choices I'm making in my own.
In my opinion, getting real doesn't mean being perfect and never having a doughnut. To me it means decreasing the amount of crap and increasing the amount of real nutrients I put in my body so that when I do eat a little crap it's not nearly as detrimental. At least...that seems logical to me! So we're slowly making small changes.
Replacing the Staples:
Rather than dumping out everything in my fridge and pantry and spending a buttload of money on new products, I am slowly making better choices as we run out of staple food items. Also, I figure that even if I don't replace everything in our diets with unprocessed options, I can at least replace the things we eat the most of. Here are some examples:
- Bread. I do not buy store bought bread any more. Even the most healthy looking (and expensive) brands contain sugar, dyes, high fructose corn syrup and unnecessary additives. I now make my own bread at home from real, natural ingredients. All toast, bread and butter, kids sandwiches are from this bread. One of these days I'll do a separate post on the recipe and how I do it step-by-step. For now, ask me if you're interested!
- Coffee Fixin's - Coffee is a daily must for me. I used to use flavored creamers in my coffee which have partially hydrogenated oils, sugar and corn syrups in them (among other things) which are b.a.d. I now use real dairy cream or half and half, with local honey (I use Cheatwood's, made in Sapulpa) or 100% Pure Maple Syrup for sweetener.
- Granola - The kids are still not psyched about it for breakfast, but I snack on it often. I've shared my mama-nola recipe before and it's the same one. On greek yogurt or alone it's a great alternative the sugary overprocessed boxed cereals in the grocery store!
- Kids' Breakfasts - We are eating more plain oatmeal, homemade real food waffles or pancakes, eggs and toast and fresh fruit.
- Lots of Fresh Fruit and Veggies. Not canned, but sometimes frozen. Yes, my kids eat salad. No, they didn't used to. That took work, time and patience. Not very long ago, my littles would gag and vomit at the dinner table if I put "leaves" on their plates. But I stayed steadfast, kept putting it in front of them and basically told them if they didn't want it, they didn't get dinner. They've gone to bed hungry many nights, but now ask for SECONDS on salad and other veggies! My fruit bowl stays full of apples, bananas, pears, oranges and the like and the kids know that they can help themselves to it whenever they want! Me too!
- Butter and Real Fats - Yep. NO more margerine or spray butters. No more refined oils like canola oil. Butter and Olive Oil are real, minimally processed fats that are actually nutritious. I do try not to overdo it on the fats, but incorporating REAL, healthy fats in our diets is very important for absorbing other vital nutrients!
- Reading Labels - This is really the starting point for everything, and it's still tripping me up. I should know better by now to trust something that says "natural peanut butter" without reading the label. I recently bought commercial mayonnaise, dry roasted peanuts and peanut butter thinking it was safe, only to find they all had TONS of other "stuff" in them. The more you read labels, the more you will find hidden sugars, preservatives and fillers that have no connection with the perceived food you are purchasing. Reading labels helps you learn what is real food and what is a food substitute!
It's still a journey, and I'm learning, and I will share more with you along the way!
Here's to happy and healthy eating!

TORONTO (Reuters) - The Canadian dollar recouped all of its losses this week against the U.S. dollar on Friday, as U.S. oil prices bounced back from some of the previous session's steep drop.
At 4 p.m. EDT (2000 GMT), the Canadian dollar CAD=D4 was trading C$1.3656 to the greenback, or 73.23 U.S. cents, up 0.8 percent, according to Reuters data.
The price of oil, one of Canada's major exports, bounced back from levels not seen in five months, on the likelihood that key producers could extend output cuts beyond an agreed-on June deadline.
U.S. crude CLc1 prices were up 1.54 percent to $46.47 a barrel.
The currency weakened after data showed Canadian employers added 3,200 jobs last month, short of economists' forecasts for a gain of 10,000. The unemployment rate unexpectedly fell to 6.5 percent from 6.7 percent, the lowest since October 2008.
That followed a string of robust job gains over the past few months. But tame wage growth added to the reasons for the Bank of Canada to stay sidelined, said Paul Ferley, assistant chief economist at Royal Bank of Canada.
"It's not getting any indication of pressure on the inflation front, and they are still concerned about potential trade protectionism emerging in the U.S., so I think they stay cautious," he said.
U.S. President Donald Trump said last week that he would terminate the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) with Canada and Mexico if negotiations on the accord became "unserious."
The currency's strongest level of the session was C$1.3643, while it touched its weakest since February 2016 at C$1.3793.
Canadian government bond prices were mixed across the yield curve, with the two-year CA2YT=RR price flat to yield 0.684 percent and the benchmark 10-year CA10YT=RR falling 4 Canadian cents to yield 1.543 percent.

125 Broad Street. Where I've spent the past 5 years of my life.
I will be saying goodbye on the 27th.
I tendered my resignation today; I'm excited, sad and terrified all at the same time. Moving onwards with my life to bigger & better things! I'll be focusing on school full time now (not like I wasn't already, as you know!) and pushing forward with food writing. If you have any food writing gigs for me – freelance, full time, part time, whatever! – let me know 🙂
A big leap forward today… the end of an era, but the start of a new chapter – I can't wait to see where the story goes. 😉

Biological soft tissues and cells may be subjected to mechanical as well as chemical (osmotic) loading under their natural physiological environment or various experimental conditions. The interaction of mechanical and chemical effects may be very significant under some of these conditions, yet the highly nonlinear nature of the set of governing equations describing these mechanisms poses a challenge for the modeling of such phenomena. This study formulated and implemented a finite element algorithm for analyzing mechanochemical events in neutral deformable porous media under finite deformation. The algorithm employed the framework of mixture theory to model the porous permeable solid matrix and interstitial fluid, where the fluid consists of a mixture of solvent and solute. A special emphasis was placed on solute-solid matrix interactions, such as solute exclusion from a fraction of the matrix pore space (solubility) and frictional momentum exchange that produces solute hindrance and pumping under certain dynamic loading conditions. The finite element formulation implemented full coupling of mechanical and chemical effects, providing a framework where material properties and response functions may depend on solid matrix strain as well as solute concentration. The implementation was validated using selected canonical problems for which analytical or alternative numerical solutions exist. This finite element code includes a number of unique features that enhance the modeling of mechanochemical phenomena in biological tissues. The code is available in the public domain, open source finite element program FEBio (http://mrl.sci.utah.edu/software).
2D axisymmetric Fickian diffusion, showing finite element results (symbol) and analytical solution (surface), at two representative time steps: (a) t=4.64 s; (b) t=72.08 s.
Osmotic loading of a spherical gel, under infinitesimal strain conditions, comparing the finite element solution (symbol) to the finite difference solution (solid curve) at representative time points. (a) Finite element geometry and mesh. (b) Radial displacement of the solid matrix. (c) Solute concentration.
Relative volume V/V0 and average effective solute concentration c̃avg during osmotic loading of a spherical gel, under finite strain conditions. V/V0 initially decreases as a result of solvent outflux; as the effective solute concentration in the gel slowly increases by diffusion from the bath, solvent flows back into the gel and V/V0 recovers to a steady-state value less than unity (since κ̃<1).
Concentration enhancement under a step, infinitesimal, compression of a disk. The radial distribution of the solute concentration, normalized to the bath concentration, is displayed at selected time points. Finite element results (thick black curves) are compared to a finite difference solution (thinner gray curves).
Concentration enhancement under a step, finite, compression of a disk. The temporal response of the average solute concentration in the disk (normalized to the bath concentration c*), shows an initial rise before slowly subsiding back to the initial, ambient concentration.

text: Most members of NARFE are aware of the possibility that we might need long term care in a nursing home. We are also aware that, unless one has insurance for such a circumstance, extended care can cause financial devastation. As a result, many have considered buying long term care insurance. See Long Term Care Primer for information regarding the need for and cost of Long Term Care. Many members do not carry long term care insurance, because they consider the risk too small and not worth the rather high premium. Others want such insurance but can't afford it. With NARFE'S leadership, the Long Term Care Security Act (PL 106-265) is now the law of the land. As a result, NARFE members will have the opportunity to buy long term care insurance if they feel the need for such protection. This insurance will be administered by OPM, as is our FEHBP. The insurance will be unsubsidised, but should be 10-20% cheaper than purchasing such insurance on the open market. OPM should have the details of the plan and costs available sometime in 2002. When it becomes available, members should consider their own circumstances carefully before deciding. Information on OPM's progress is available at OPM's Long Term Care Information Site. You can monitor their progress by periodically accessing that site.

This is a table I built for my sister-in-law. She had a very specific idea in mind for my to build. She wanted a table that looked old and somewhat care worn. This was a style that was not something I had much desire to work in. However after I got into it I ended up enjoying the project very much. The wood came from a 100+ year old share croppers house in a rural section of North Carolina that was being torn down. I culled out as much wood as I could from the house, being careful to not bring home any of the termites infesting this house. Getting the wood into a useable state took a great deal of time. The number of nails were unbelievable. They were old cut nails. Many did not want to come out. Even after getting what I believed was all of the nails out I still did a number on my planer knives. I do think that in the end the results were worth the aggravation. I left as many imperfections as I could. The nail holes, knots, checks, all added to the character of the table. I am not a big fan of pine, but this very old southern yellow pine that had been seasoning for a hundred years was another story. It was hard and close grained. I used a hand drill with a flap sander in it and went over all of the parts to give is an uneven and worn look. I then uses a flutter sander to soften all the edges. I used an unusual stain. I used roofing tar. I used the kind in the tube. I squeezed a little out and took a rag soaked in mineral spirits and worked it into the table. I think it made the table look more "aged" than stained. After all was said and done I enjoyed this project very much and would not mind at all working in this style again, especially since my sister-in-law says it is very fashionable right now. I have enough of the wood left to do one more table not quite as big as hers.

chris- prep was the biggest challenge. you would think you had a piece nail free and then run it through the planer and BAM there is a shiner. The biggest challenge of the build, or rather the most exausting, was using the hand drill with the flap sander. That wore me out.

Heron, Paul, Kessler, Ian and Dopson, Sue (2009) Shifting occupational boundaries in British healthcare: Threatening or furthering the professional project. In: Society for the Advancement of Socio-Economics Conference, Paris.Full text not available from this repository.
Over the last decade, the British government's attempt to modernise healthcare provision by developing cost efficient and effective services has led to fundamental challenges to established occupational jurisdictions. This has been reflected in the emergence of new occupational roles working in support of professionals. Amongst semi professionals such as nurses these assistant roles might be seen as having contradictory consequences, potentially threatening and helping further the professional project. For semi professionals claims to exclusivity have often been founded upon holistic service provision. As assistants take over from nurses as the principal providers of direct care under the guise of relieving nurses, such claims to holistic care become less credible. Yet the delegation of 'dangerously routine' tasks allowing nurses to undertake specialist and technical activities has often been seen as the route to occupational closure and assured professional status. This paper focuses upon occupational jurisdictions between nurses and healthcare assistants in two case study hospitals. Drawing upon data from over 100 interviews with nurses and healthcare assistants and around 150 hours of on ward observation, it explores whether and how job boundaries have shifted and whether this is perceived to have strengthened or weakened nurse professionalisation. The paper contributes to debates by: exploring the dynamic of professionalisation in the context of shifting job boundaries; generating data on the nature of a relatively new occupational role, that of the 'assistant'; and looking at how public policy shifts can stimulate changes in the division of labour.

(Many grant recipients interviewed for this story didn't want to say anything negative or positive about Amazon, concerned either with offending Amazon on one hand, or betraying the anti-Amazon indie ethos on the other.)
It's like having your cake and eating it too. Except you have to hold the cake in your mouth until it chokes you.

Do you need a dose of energy? This is a #lifehack that I use when I am running that could apply to many areas of your life. I just shared it with a friend and it worked so I thought I would share it here.
When I am running and tired I tell myself, "Move your arms and your legs will follow." This mantra helped me get through my first marathon and it still really works for me. Physically, it works. Moving your arms creates momentum and your legs have to move with your body. Mentally, positive thinking really matters and accounts for a change in outcome.
This mantra gives me a boost of energy and confidence to help me get through challenging tasks. It helps me when I don't feel like doing something even though I know I will feel better when it's done.
Need to go to the gym? Need to finish your invoices? Need to write that blog post?
Just move your arms and your legs will follow!
Here's how you can get your energy boost.
1. Identify your challenge.
2. Create a mantra that works for you.
3. Think about the desired outcome.
4. Repeat the mantra to yourself until your action creates the outcome you desire.
Did that work for you? What's your version? I would love to hear from you.
