100% Natural Garcinia Cambogia Extract
Why choose Pure Garcinia Cambogia Extract? Because it is 100% Natural, Safe, and Works!
The Problem
Obesity is the scourge of the modern consumptive lifestyle. It gets worse when you maintain a sedentary work like sitting all day before a PC to get your work done and then going home to sit on your couch to watch TV the rest of the night. It doesn't help when the delicious foods we eat contain more fat calories than what a sedentary work life can burn off. The result: the unused unburned fats get stored and we gain weight.
The Solution
A healthy diet and regular moderate workouts have always been recommended to manage weight. It's no walk in the park for sure. And there have been diet supplements that claim to help or hasten the process. What complicates the problem is that you have an endless array of choices among these diet supplements.
Weight loss is an entire industry in itself. There are always now discoveries, formulations and variations in each from just about all the pharmaceutical companies everywhere. It doesn't help at all that there are scams among these choices.
But there is one recent "re-discovery" that Dr. Mehmet Oz in his popular TV health show called the "Holy Grail" of weight loss that is now taking the weight watchers clubs around the world by storm. This is the
"Garcinia Cambogia Extract (GCE)".
At the core of the extracts from this lowly relatively unknown tropic fruit is the Hydroxycitric Acid or HCA compound, its main active ingredient. A 50% concentration in a supplement containing 1,500 mg of the extract has been shown in several clinical studies to reduce weight in both lab rats and human subjects.
With regular intake of the recommended dose prior to each meal, you can lose weight by as much as 3 lbs in a month even without altering your work and consumptive lifestyle. But coupled with the right diet and exercise, the weight losses can be more rewarding for serious weight watchers.
Getting the most out of the Garcinia Cambogia extract
The best way to lose weight is through a strict regimen of exercise to burn off unused fat and a healthy low fat diet. This is often best achieved when complemented with a dose of the Garcinia Cambogia extract diet supplement.
It has been observed in several clinical studies in mildly obese humans fed with 1,500mg of HCA extracts managed to lose 2-3 lbs in a month's time even with uncontrolled food intake occasioned by their usual lifestyles.
But when taken along with controlled diets and moderate exercise such as walking, the subjects were able to lose 8-12 lbs a month or 24-36 lbs in three months. There is no doubt that HCA extracts from the Garcinia cambogia fruit hastens the attainment of one\s weight objectives.
What is Garcinia Cambogia?
Fully matured, the Garcinia Cambogia fruit looks like a baby pumpkin the size of an orange. It is a tropical fruit grown in a small to medium sap tree of the same name and belongs to a plant genus of the Clusiaceae family. It is native to Southeast Asia but is also grown widely in tropical counties like India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, the Polynesian islands and in many tropical parts of Africa and Australia.
The Garcinia genus is home to around 400 other species, the most popular of which is purple mangosteens (Garcinia mangostana). It is also known as Gambooge, Assam fruit and Brindle Berry while in the tropical countries, it is natively known as, Hila, Malabar tamarind (Tamarinier de Malabar), and Cambogia.
When to take Garcinia Cambogia?
As an appetite suppressant, GCE diet supplements are best taken on an empty stomach 30 minutes to an hour prior to a scheduled meal. Otherwise, when taken with food or drink, you risk diluting the efficacy of Hydroxycitric Acid with some of the chemicals in the food or drink.
If you are certain that your diet does not have fat content, you may skip your GCE supplement since its flat-blocking ability won't be of much use. But if you are invited to a banquet where you could end up indulging in the foods you like, it is best to take a Garcinia Cambodia extract supplement before the occasion to limit your food intake.
How it works:
Being overweight or obese results from a chronic imbalance between the calories we consume and the energy we spend. The more fatty foods we eat or the less body movements we do to burn them off result in unwanted fat accumulating in our body so we gain weight over time.
Eating more while having a sedentary lifestyle has made it easier to accumulated fat and gain weight. Obesity brings its co-morbidities such as cardiovascular disease that has created a challenge for people to start reigning in on their weight gain.
Fat calories not spent soon after they are metabolized from the fatty foods we eat get stored in the adipose tissues of our body as lipids. Recent clinical studies have shown that the active chemical compound Hydroxycitric Acid (HCA) in the Garcinia Cambogia extract has several properties that work concurrently to result in managing weight.
What to look for when purchasing Garcinia:

- Garcinia Cambogia Extract (GCE) is listed on the label
- At least 50% HCA (Hydroxycitric Acid)

What are the promised benefits of GCE?
- Increased serotonin levels that suppress appetite and regulate mood swings to prevent eating binges;
- Healthy cholesterol levels (both LDL and triglycerides)
- Reduced fat metabolism and lipid storage
- Diminished fat intake by as much as 25%
- Healthy weight loss and the right body mass index (BMI)
Hydroxycitric Acid in Garcinia Cambogia
First recognized and reported in the late 19th century, the HCA in the dried fruit rind of the Garcinia cambogia has since been studied and found to be chemically similar to the citric acids in fruits like lemon, orange, jackfruit, pineapple and others that have the distinct tart flavor and sour taste when unripe.
Hydroxycitric Acid or HCA is also found in all citrus fruits in varying amounts but its abundance in the Garcinia cambogia fruit gives it the weight management advantage as an extract. There have been several lab tests on rats and clinical trials in humans that conclusively demonstrated the efficacy of HCA in suppressing appetite, inhibiting the conversion fatty acids into storable lipids, and reduce body weight.
All these are accomplished without affecting the central nervous system that would otherwise cause heightened nervousness, palpitations and rapid heart rates, hypertension or sleeping difficulties often associated with strong weight loss diet supplements such as those containing caffeine, phenylpropanolamine, or ephedra (Ma-Huang). What this means is that HCA is a safe alternative to many of these popular diet supplements.
Are there side effects when take GCE?
Weight watchers taking weight loss diet supplements often experience unpleasant side effects such as headaches, nausea, stomach cramps, palpitations, jitteriness and low energy levels. This is where diet supplements using the Garcinia Cambogia Extract stand out not only for its proven weight less efficacy, but also for its established clinical safety when used at 1,500 mg doses per meal regularly for three months or less.
To date, there is no study or report pointing to any direct adverse effect of HCA on the body functions. Its mechanism of action, long history of culinary and herbal medicinal use, and comprehensive lab and clinical evidence on published studies have shown HCA to be safe at recommended dosing levels.
Recommended dosage of Garcinia Cambogia Extract Diet Supplements
The recommended dosage proven in several clinical studies to be safe is 1500 mg prior to each meal. Current medical and scientific information have so far indicated that getting 389 mg per kg of body weight per day is safe while 5,000 mg per kg of body weight per day can be considered the lethal threshold. That means for a typical American adult weighing 70kg (154 lbs), the safe dosage of 389 mg per kg body weight translates to 27.2 kg per day. This puts a wide safety margin among GCE supplements formulated with just 1,500 mg per tablet or capsule. Taking one prior to each meal aggregates to just 4.5 kg per day. Our dosage follows Dr. Oz's suggested use.

The Beginner's Guide to Financial Aid
Get the most out of your financial aid application by knowing more about how the process works.
By Kathryn Knight Randolph
May 25, 2018
If you've begun the college search, you've probably heard of a little thing called financial aid. The term is pretty self-explanatory; however, if you've talked to anyone who has filled out financial aid forms, the process is anything but simple. But it's not impossible.
Learning more about financial aid on a basic level can help you get a grasp of the process and the end goal as you're sharing information with colleges and analyzing financial aid award packages. So why don't we start with a simple equation:
What's up with the confusing acronyms? Let's start with COA, which stands for Cost of Attendance. A school's Cost of Attendance includes the total price for tuition, room and board, books, fees, transportation and an allowance of miscellaneous fees.
You can typically find a university's cost of attendance under their admissions or financial aid page. Federal law also requires colleges and universities to include a net price calculator as well that provides greater transparency into the true cost of attending that particular institution.
The net price calculator will ask a lot of the same questions as the FAFSA, such as parental income, student income and cash on hand. It will then provide a look at what the students and their family can anticipate to pay towards cost of attendance after scholarships, loans and self-help. You should also keep in mind that cost of attendance changes on an annual basis, so the net price for freshmen year may be different than sophomore year and so on.
The FAFSA, or Free Application for Federal Student Aid, is required to determine a student's EFC, which stands for Expected Family Contribution. EFC is defined as what a family can realistically pay for college when it comes to finances and other circumstances. This FAFSA asks a lot of questions, similar to the Net Price Calculator, about parent assets, student income and student assets, all of which help to formulate EFC.
While the form asks a lot of financial questions, it also asks about the number of family members living in the household, number of students in college at the same time, ages of each family member and state in which the student resides. Unfortunately, most of the time, the EFC and what you can actually pay don't equal the same number.
And that's where need comes in. Again, need is determined by Cost of Attendance minus Expected Family Contribution (COA – EFC = NEED). For instance, the total Cost of Attendance at an institution may be $50K while the Expected Family Contribution is $20K. That leaves $30K in need.
While it would be ideal to get a scholarship for $30K, that's not how the system works most of the time. Rather, the federal government and/or school will provide you with a financial aid package that contains scholarships or grants, loans and work study.
Now that you have a basic understanding of what it takes to pay for school, it's time to start strategizing. You can begin by maximizing your aid eligibility and saving for college today.
Need Money to Pay for College?
Every semester, Fastweb helps thousands of students pay for school by matching them to scholarships, grants, and internships, for which they actually qualify. You'll find high value scholarships like VIP Voice's $5,000 Scholarship, and easy to enter scholarships like Niche $2,000 No Essay Scholarship, and internships with companies like Apple, Google, Dreamworks, and even NASA!

'Made in Chelsea's' Alik Alfus blasts Louise Thompson
- Bang Showbiz
- 19 August 2016
'Made in Chelsea's' Alik Alfus has blasted Louise Thompson for being in a new relationship shortly after their split and for not telling him she had moved on when he was trying to woo her
'Made in Chelsea's' Alik Alfus has blasted Louise Thompson for being in a new relationship shortly after their split.
The American television personality - who dated the brunette beauty for two years before the pair split in May this year - has slammed his ex-girlfriend for "never" informing him she had a "f***ing boyfriend" when he was trying to woo her back, and was surprised to see her pictured cosying up with her new personal trainer beau Ryan William Libbery one month after their break-up.
Speaking to The Sun about the shock discovery, which he found out on 'Made In Chelsea: South of France' series, he said: "Louise never told me she had a f***ing boyfriend. It was a big shock.
"She was quite possibly with the new guy while she was with me. I was thousands of miles away."
And the New York-born star has revealed the 26 year old had promised she would quit the E4 programme to give her relationship with Alik another go, although one week after the former couple's vacation Louise officially called it a day on their romance.
Alik said: "It was very shocking and scary that someone I was prepared to spend the rest of my life with was capable of leaving me so quickly."
Alik is set to make a dramatic entrance on the spin-off show on Monday (22.08.16), after Louise invited him out, only for him to be disappointed when she meets her new lover.
He explained: "She invited me out to France and then I found out she was f***ing this new guy."
Despite the complicated romance Alik believes he is "stronger" than his former partner, and believes Louise is "not real" and not the woman he wants in his life.
He said: "She had broken up with me; I had lost a load of weight. But I've grown from that experience and unfortunately I am stronger than Louise - she didn't allow herself to have any alone time at all.
"A lot of her true colours have revealed themselves in the last few months. She was not real enough, she has a lot of issues and that was too much for what I needed in my life."

Cotton fabric is made from the fluffy seed pods of the cotton plant. Its quality is dependent on the original fibre length – the longer the better, and more expensive the cotton!
Fabric qualities: Cotton is hardy, heat resistant and doesn't tear easily. It absorbs a great deal of moisture (up to about 20 % of its own weight without feeling wet and up to 65 % without dripping. However, it dries very slowly. The process of mercerising (soaking it in a natron solution while it is stretched) gives the fabric a slight sheen, while raising its strength and absorption capacities. Cotton does not keep you warm but roughening can improve its warming qualities. Cotton fabric creases easily and can shrink in the wash. Special treatment can prevent cotton from shrinking and make it more crease-resistant (easy-care).
Fabric care: The care depends on the fabric pre-treatment. White cotton can be boiled, coloureds can be machine-washed up to 60 decrees C and delicate coloureds up to 40 decrees C. Use special detergent for whites and detergent without brightener for coloureds. Towelling and underwear will remain wonderfully soft in the drier, even without a softener. However, there's a high risk of shrinkage, so only use the drier if it's specially mentioned on the label. Easy-care cottons should be hung up wet to drip dry, then ironed at the wool setting. Otherwise cottons can be ironed at the cotton/linen setting, best slightly damp or with a steam iron.

State may take over Celina schools in year
By JANIE SOUTHARD
The Daily Standard
Celina City Schools are about a year away from the state taking over
control of the school district if the budget and levies keeping going down, school
officials announced at a meeting Monday night.
Big cuts, including closing Franklin Elementary School in Montezuma,
are a done deal as board of education members on Monday night approved budget reduction
plans to reduce the district's projected $1.5 million deficit for next year.
And more cuts, notably the elimination of all athletic activities, are
coming if voters fail to pass both May ballot issues, also approved by the board Monday
Plan A, which includes closing Franklin, taking one bus off route,
reducing the number of summer maintenance employees, substitute teachers, book fee
subsidies, office staff and service days, is a definite. Plan A reductions will save an
estimated $729,150.
"Yes, these reductions will take place whether or not the district
gets more money," District Superintendent Fred Wiswell told The Daily Standard.
If voters do not pass both ballot issues (a 3/4 percent income tax levy
for five years and a renewal of a 7-mill property tax emergency operating levy that
expires this year), all athletic activities and other extracurricular activities will be
eliminated as part of Plan B. The 7-mill levy brings in $2.253 million and the 3/4 percent
would bring in an estimated $2.25 million annually, according to Treasurer Mike Marbaugh.
In addition, Plan B includes eliminating 15 full-time equivalent (FTE)
teachers and an intervention tutor. Four more buses will be parked, book fee subsidies and
full substitute teachers will be further reduced to zero budget expense. Support staff,
such as maintenance, custodial, secretarial, educational and office aides, will be reduced
by seven people.
Plan B savings is estimated at $1,586,150.
If present trends continue (little success at the polls), the district
will realize an $8.7 million deficit in 2005, $16.8 million deficit in 2006 and down $25.6
in 2007.
If the district sees the $1.5 million deficit next year, the state will
come in and take control, Wiswell said at the Monday meeting.
Since 1977, voters have voted down 20 of the district's 35 ballot
issues for a 57.1 percent failure rate.

The difference between a literature review and a systematic review can vary a bit across disciplines, but for the most part, a stand alone article that is a literature review (every primary research article has a little lit. review at its beginning to give background to its research) looks at many - say 10 to 20 - primary research articles and summarizes and evaluates them so that when you read that one article, you really are finding out about many studies. You can find these in Solar, Medline, CINAHL, PsycINFO, etc.
A systematic review is more encompassing and has the purpose of looking at all the research published for a given topic and then also summarizing and evaluating, but with the added purpose of trying to give a best practice that all this research supports. These are best found in the Cochrane Library database and are known as the famous "Cochrane Review." You can also find these in the other databases and Cochrane Library does have other articles in there as well.

President Kerrey, Dean Schober and friends all, I want first to congratulate all of you on having braved winter winds even to appear on a night like this. It is for several reasons that I am delighted to be with you at the New School this evening and indeed that I count it a great honor to have been invited to deliver the inaugural Paul H. Douglas Lecture in the series bearing his name in Ethics and Government. First I am glad to be on the campus of this remarkable center of leaning, now nearly 90 years old. An institution characterized by a commitment to innovation and constructive change in our own country and the world. The men and women who have taught at the New School include some of the most brilliant thinkers and doers of our time and your President these last several years has like the eminent Statesmen for whom this lecture series is named was himself a distinguished Public Servant, a governor for 12 years of his home state of Nebraska and the United States Senator, Bob Kerrey. Both as governor and senator, Bob Kerrey was deeply committed to education at every level. And that after leaving the senate he should have become a University President his wholly appropriate. As I followed a similar path, it must be obvious that beyond our common roots, in the American Middle West a commitment to education is one that Bob Kerrey and I share. There are several other persons here this evening whom I want to recognize, some have already been saluted, Members of Senator Douglas's family, his daughter Jean Bandler who has taught at New York University and here husband Ned Bandler, a member of Freedom House and a supporter of my own campaigns for Congress over the years, other members of the Douglas family. Paul W. Douglas, son of the Senator and Jean's brother, Philip and Peter Douglas, the Senator's grand sons and John Taft Bandler, son of Ned and Jean and the Senator's grandson. I am also pleased to meet D. Ellen Shuman daughter of Howard Shuman who served on the staff of Senator Douglas and who was my contemporary as a student at Oxford University even as I am glad to salute Ernestine Schlant Bradley, a member of the faculty of the New School and wife of another highly respected former United States Senator Bill Bradley of New Jersey, also I must add, an Oxonian. A couple of other persons who are associated with the New School and are friends of mine are Professor Edward Nell of your Department of Economics and Karen Buck who helps raise money for the New School. I want also to recognize two colleagues of mine from New York University, Diane Fairbanks and in working in my own office and with me closely, Michael Dinisia I want also to thank for joining us this evening the widow of still another senator who commanded high regard on both sides of the isle, Marion Javits, whose husband Jacob J. Javits was four times elected to the United States House of Representatives and four times to the United States Senate. Senator Javits was an internationalist, a champion like Paul Douglas of Civil Rights and an advocate as well of support for education in the arts and the humanities causes with which Marion continues to be identified. Of course what brings us all together this evening is the memory of one of the other giants in the history of the United States Senate and in American public life, Paul H. Douglas of Illinois. I hope you will hear indulge me in a little personal history. Son of a Greek immigrant and an Indiana School teacher I grew up in South Bend, Indiana, home of the fighting Irish of Notre Dame. After spending my freshman year of college as a US Naval officer trainee at the University of Mississippi where, in my sailor's suit, 61 years ago, I heard the opening address of the last campaign of United States Senator Theodore Gilmore Bilbo who castigated Clare Boothe Luce and in his words those other communists up North who want to mongrelize the white race. An experience that added to my having recalled my father's having told me as a child, of the Ku Klux Klan then powerful in Indiana, boycotted his restaurant because he was not a Wasp made me years later in Congress a strong supporter of the Civil Rights legislation championed by Senator Paul H. Douglas. From Oxford Mississippi I went to Cambridge Massachusetts and Harvard and then to the other Oxford in England where I wrote a PhD dissertation on the Anarchist Movement in Spain from the mid-1920s through the first year of the Spanish Civil War. Although I studied anarchism I did not practice it. For six months after returning to South Bend from Oxford I was just old enough under the constitution to run and I became the Democratic Party nominee for election to Congress from the then third District of Indiana. I lost that race with 49.5 percent of the total vote. Determined obviously to run again in 1956 I went to Washington DC to get little experience where I joined the staff of then Senator Patrick V McNamara of Michigan. Shortly thereafter Senator Douglas invited me to join his staff, but on learning that I had already accepted a position in his colleague's office immediately withdrew. In the summer of 1955, a Chicago lawyer, the right hand man of Adlai E Stevenson, William McCormick Blair Jr. called to ask me, I had, by then, become Administrative Assistant to Congressman Thomas Ludlow Ashley of Toledo, Ohio, to join Governor Stevenson's Office in his second campaign for the Presidency. I readily accepted. Chicago is not far from South Bend and I was in-charge of research on issues and sole liaison to such Stevenson advisors as Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr., Paul Samuelson and John Kenneth Galbraith. It was an exciting and invaluable experienced. And of course brought me into touch with such political figures as Paul Simon and Sidney Yates, later my colleagues in Congress and with Paul Douglas' ardent supporter ____, my fellow Helle, I am the first native born American of Greek origin elected to Congress, House or Senate even as my dear friend Paul Sarbanes of Maryland just retired after 34 years of distinguished service in Congress is the first Greek American elected to the Senate. And as you may know his son John was elected in November to Paul's old seat in the House of Representatives. And of course I worked with other Stevenson law partners. W Willard Wirtz later Secretary of Labor and Newton N Mino later Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission and father of Martha Mino one of Senator Barak Obama's professors at the Harvard Law School and before that she was an intern one summer in my Congressional Office. So the linkages continue. In 1956 both Stevenson and Brademas lost a second time. I thought here I am not yet 30 and twice defeated for Congress. But I still thought I could win and determine to run again in 1958. I joined the Faculty of St. Mary's College across the road, from Notre Dame. In 1958 in my third race to my great surprise and delight Senator Douglas called to ask if he could come to my district to campaign for me. And, of course, I enthusiastically accepted. On September 26, 1958 Senator Douglas addressed 700 Democrats at a rally for me in South Bend. He had kind words not only for me but for the then Chairman of the Democratic National Committee, my political godfather Paul M. Butler of South Bend and for a Republican, Paul G Hoffman, formerly head of the Studebaker Corporation in South Bend and the Senator of course also warmly praised Adlai Stevenson. Here I should tell you that next summer a book on the legacy of Adlai Stevenson edited by Judge Alvin Liebling of Chicago will be published and I am pleased to have contributed an essay. Senator Douglas spoke on my behalf too at a fund raising dinner in LaPorte Indiana, $10 a plate, those were the days. And together we visited farms and Elkhart county in my District. Senator Douglas' wife Emily Taft Douglas, herself a former member of Congress from Illinois also spoke at a tea for me in South Bend. My Republican opponent in 1958, then Congressman F J Nimps sharply attacked Senator Douglas as to quote him, 'A city slicker from Chicago' a noted prophet of gloom, a meddling Senator from Illinois who wants a national monument established in the Indiana Dunes to curry political favor with his Chicago constituents The result in November 1958 I was first elected to Congress. Thanks in part to the support of the great Senator from Illinois. Well, so much for these observations about my own early experience with the extraordinary leader whom we meet tonight to honor. With a BA from Bowdoin and an MA and PhD in economics from Columbia University, that's up town, some place, Paul Douglas taught at various colleges and universities until he joined the faculty of the University of Chicago. Elected in 1939 an Alderman of the Chicago City Council, Professor Douglas after an unsuccessful race for the United States Senate in 1942 joined the United States Marines. Although 50 years old and a full professor at the University of Chicago he sought combat and was sent to the Pacific where he was twice wounded. Discharged in 1946 he returned to the University of Chicago and two years later won election to the United States Senate defeating the Isolationist Republican incumbent Senator C Wayland Brooks. In the senate Paul Douglas made a major mission of his service, the passage of civil rights legislation and he succeeded with the Civil Rights Act of 1964 dealing with public accommodations and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 for both of which bills I, by that time, a member of the House of Representatives also worked. A second area of deep concern to Senator Douglas was, as you know, Ethics in government including fiscal accountability of public officials. The senator, long before required by law regularly released his assets and liabilities and sources of income. In 1951 senator Douglas delivered the Godkin lectures at Harvard entitled Ethics in Government. Those lectures were a forerunner of discussion of issues prominent in the nation's capital today. Senator Douglas was also a leader as you have been told on economic measures and led the fight for truth in lending legislation. And as you are aware the Dunes National Lakeshore in Northern Indiana was a monument to Senator Douglas's commitment to environmental protection long before the issue had become popular. He saved much of the Indiana Dunes from steel company bulldozers. I have earlier mentioned Paul Simon with whom I served in the House of Representatives on the Committee on Education and Labor and with whom I shared a conviction of the importance of advancing the study of other countries cultures and languages. The Paul Simon Public Policy Institute at Southern Illinois University in Carbondale, Illinois is a fitting tribute to this impressive protégé of Senator Douglas. I remind you too that I was first elected to the House of Representatives in 1958, then ten times re-elected. In congress, my primary committee was Education and Labor, where I sponsored legislation to help schools colleges and universities, the arts and the humanities, libraries and museums and programs to assist children, the elderly, the disabled. I also served on the House Administration Committee and there wrote the Presidential materials and records Preservation Act of 1974. That's the law that nullified the Ford administration decision to turn over to Richard Nixon, just resigned, all of the papers including the famous tape recordings of his presidency under conditions that could have led to their destruction. I was, to be gentle about it, outraged by the prospect that such records could be lost to history and so acted to save them. This '74 statute led to the Presidential Records Act of 1978 which declared that American Presidents no longer have title to their papers. In my last four years in congress I was by appointment of House Speaker Thomas P Tip O'Neill majority whip of the House of Representatives, leader of a group of other Democratic Congressmen each of whom had the responsibility of pulling representatives in his or her zone on bills upcoming. One of my assistant whips, by the way, was Charlie Rangel of New York, the new chairman of the House Committee on Ways and Means. One of the perquisites of service as whip was to join speaker O'Neill, house majority leader Jim Wright of Texas, Senate majority leader Bob Bird of West Virginia and Senate whip Allan Cranston of California for breakfast at the White House every other Tuesday morning with President Carter and Vice President Mondale. Now we talk politics and policy. I am a note taker and I made it my practice to take notes of these meetings, then back at my office on Capitol Hill dictated them and so have a stack of transcripts which, I hope, if ever I slow down to turn into a case study of how an American President deals with the leaders of his own party in Congress. In 1980 in my campaign for a 12th term in Congress I was defeated in Ronald Reagan's landslide victory over President Carter. Ironically among the major issues that year Bob were the hostage crisis in Iran and the high price of gas. I add that in my 12 campaigns for Congress, well I guess it would have been 14, five were in presidential election years but only once did the people of my Indiana district gave a majority to the Democratic nominee for President, that was Lyndon Johnson in 1964. Fortunately for me, I was invited in 1981 to become President of New York University, the nation's largest private university. So, like Bob Kerry I became a New Yorker. I served as you heard as President of NYU for 11 years until 1992 when I became President Emeritus, my present responsibility. I shall not here belabor you with a list of my current activities; it's chiefly pro bono, although in a moment I will speak of one. Certainly I have a continuing interest directly linked to the purpose of these lectures in the work of the CED, the Committee for Economic Development, an organization of some 200 corporate executives and a few university presidents of whom I am one. From time to time CED produces reports on public policy issues, reports that do not focus solely on the interest of business. For example last year CED issued reports calling for greater investment in pre-school programs and in international education and foreign language studies both areas in which, while in Congress, I legislated. The most recent CED report released only last month, deals directly with what brings us together this evening. Entitled "Making Washington Work" the report urges reform in the financing of Congressional campaigns, reform in the operations of lobbyists and reforms in legislative procedures. The report, for example, calls for dealing with the abuse of Congressional redistricting and year marking of appropriations and tax measures. The three goals of making Washington work, succinctly put, are transparency, accountability and enforcement. Paul Douglas I respectfully suggest would have rejoiced at this effort to enhance ethical behavior in government. Indeed I am very glad to see that Congress is now acting in all three areas of our making Washington work report. Both the Senate and House of Representatives last month voted on ethics and lobbying reform measures and so the process has began. Now these several observations bring me to the final matter of which I should like to speak tonight. My own principal project at this time is the establishment that New York University's Robert F Wagner Graduate School of Public Service, the John Brademas Center for the study of Congress, of congress as a policy making institution, here I remind you that in our separation of powers constitutional system when it comes to making national policy Congress, unlike the House of Commons for example in the British Parliamentary System, counts. If a Senator or representative knows what he or she is doing is skillful and if the configuration of political forces makes action possible that Senator or representative can, without picking up the telephone to call the White House, write the laws of the land. Yeah with 100 senators and 435 representatives and normally no strict party discipline, Congress is not an easy institution to understand even for informed persons. Even I have observed for some presidents. So what we have done at New York University is establish a center to which we have invited senators and representatives, current and former, Democrats and Republicans, this is not a partisan initiative. Cabinet officers, Congressional staffers, journalists, students and scholars to discuss the processes, the ways by which our national legislature influences and shapes policy as well as significant issues of public policy. The purpose of the Center is to encourage the exchange of ideas among scholars and policy makers, thereby promoting the creation and dissemination of knowledge and public understanding of what is after all the first branch of government. The center as I've said is wholly bi-partisan and I have been gratified by the acceptance by several distinguished senators and representatives, current and former, of my invitation to serve on an Advisory Council to the center even as I appreciate the agreement of a number of the nation's leading academic authorities on Congress to serve on this Council. You will be interested to know that among the activities supported by the Center is a series of lectures on Congress at the Library of Congress. Lectures that bare the name of a distinguished trustee of the new school, an outstanding American business leader Bernard Schwartz and his wife Irene. The initial lectures at the Library of Congress were delivered by the Senior Senator from my native State of Indiana and former Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations, Richard Lugar, a Republican and the Senior Senator from Maryland, a Democrat Paul S Sarbanes. Senator Lugar spoke on the role of Congress in foreign policy, Senator Sarbanes on Congress and domestic policy. In the fall of 2005 at a symposium at NYU also sponsored by Bernard and Irene Schwartz we focused on the history of the measure of which I have earlier told you. The Presidential Materials and Recordings, Preservation Act of 1974 and the Archivist of the United States Allen Weinstein discussed issues in handling and disposition of the papers of federal officials. In April of last year at the NYU Law School the Center sponsored a symposium on what as we know a most important subject, Presidential powers. When John Dean, former counsel to President Nixon, Shawn Wallace, a Princeton Historian of Presidents, former Congressman Mickey Edwards, Republican of Oklahoma and your own Bob Kerrey among others addressed this topic. Last fall the Center sponsored a symposium at which Norman Ornstein and Thomas Mann, two distinguished scholars of Congress discussed their new book. The book and branch how Congress is failing America and how to get it back on track. Let me know some of the other activities sponsored by the Brademas Center for the Study of Congress. One is an internship program under which NYU students serve on the staffs of members of the Senate and House of Representatives. The second organized by the former ABC television news congressional correspondent Linda Douglas is entitled 'Reflections'. A project enabling Linda to conduct interviews with retiring members of the Senate and House of Representatives to ask them of their to ask them to speak of their experiences, offer comments about what they have learnt and make recommendations for their successors. The third activity I will mention is legislating for the future conducted by Paul Light of the Wagner school faculty, who studying the question of the adequacy of resources for Congress to deal with the important issues facing our country. My friend and a fellow who is your former Congressman Leah Hamilton of Indiana chairs the advisory committee for this program. The second Bernard and Irene Schwartz Lecture at the Library of Congress was delivered last fall by the distinguished historian of the House of Representatives who discussed his new book, 'The House', professor Robert V Remini of the University of Illinois at Chicago. Now I think you will agree that in light of the results of the Congressional elections last November much more attention is now being focused on the Senate and the House of Representatives with Democratic majorities in both bodies than was the case during the first six years of the Presidency of George Bush. Although it is obvious that widespread dissatisfaction with the War in Iraq and the way in which President Bush is handling it or mishandling it, the war was a major reason for democratic victories last fall. Yet it is also clear that another issue that damaged Republicans was what has come to be known as the culture of corruption. To make my point I have only to cite the names of the lobbyist Jack Abramoff now in prison, as are for accepting bribes, former Republican Congressman Randy Duke Cunningham of California and Robert Ney of Ohio and then I mentioned Republican Congressman Mark Foley of Florida who resigned following the revelation of suggestive emails and sexually explicit messages he said to some young male house pages. Here I direct your attention to a recent book just published by Peter H Stone entitled "Heist: Superlobbyist Jack Abramoff, His Republican Allies, and the Buying of Washington". This book speaks of among other matters the K Street Project described by Norman Ornstein in the New York Times book review last month, as in his words an effort masterminded by Grover Norquist, Tom DeLay and Rick Santorum among others to place Conservative Republicans in key positions in law firms, lobbying operations, trade associations and individual company offices. The goal was to get trusted people into jobs where they could use campaign cash to help republicans stay in power while enabling them to live comfortably by sharing the munificence of the money and interests. Ornstein wrote of "Heist" and of another recent study called "The case three gang" by Matthew Continetti. And "Ornstein - both books will make the average reader even one sophisticated in the ways of Washington want to take a shower. To any one who cares, he said, about our political institutions and their integrity, this story is simply revolting." One of the most assigned analyses of the challenge to reform, which the new congress face is an essay by James A. Thurber - Professor of Government and Director of the Center for Congressional and Presidential studies at American University - in the latest issue of the Journal "Extensions", published by the Carl Albert Congressional Research and Study Center at the University of Oklahoma. Thurber's criticisms are several. He asserts in his words that Congress has been grossly deficient in his investigations of violations and in his enforcement of it's own rules. Thurber goes on to criticize earmarks of appropriations, authorization and revenue bills. Provisions of law as you know often inserted without attribution and Thurber urges greater transparency with respect to their authorship. He sites procedural abuses in the house of Senate such as the use of closed rules to restrict the right of the minority to offer amendments, extending role calls in the house beyond the regular 15 minutes to allow strong arming of members to change their votes, failing to allow minority members to participate in conference committees to reconcile differences between house and senate versions of legislation and the failure to exercise vigorous oversight of the executive branch. In the new house of representatives, Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California has called on the 110th Congress to enact, what she calls the "Honest Leadership and Open Government Act", a proposal which includes the following. A ban of gifts from lobbyists, ban on all privately funded travel, ban on lobbyists attending or participating in conventional trips, disclosure of grassroots lobbying, increased disclosure in government contracting and in the tightening of government contracting laws, extension of the ban on lobbying by former members to two years, extending the post employment ban to senior congressional executive branch staff and enacting disclosure requirements for house members and for staff negotiating for jobs in the private sector. In their essay, entitled "When Congress Checks Out" in the November-December 2006 issue of Foreign Affairs Publishers you know; Norm Ornstein and Tom Mann observed "One of congress key role is oversight making sure that the laws and rights are faithfully executed and vetting the military and diplomatic activities of the executive." Good oversight, they say, cuts waste, punishes fraud or scandal and keeps policy makers on their toes. The go on to note that vigorous oversight was the norm until the end of the 20th century. And they said a list of examples of congressional investigations. However, the authors warn, "Since George W. Bush has become President, oversight has all but disappeared from homeland security to the conduct of the Iraq war, from allegations of torture at Abu Ghraib, to the surveillance of domestic telephone calls by the National Security Agency. Congress has mostly ignored its responsibilities." Moreover, say Ornstein and Mann, "The Bush Administration has aggressively asserted its executive power and displayed a stronger version to sharing information with congress and the public. Why they ask and reply, serious oversight almost inevitably means criticism of performance and this Republican Congress, they shied away from criticizing its own White House. Ornstein and Mann then offer a number of specific recommendations for fixing the oversight problem as they put it. Part they conclude of a larger challenge to mend the broken legislative branch and restore a healthy balance to US Democracy. Here, ladies and gentlemen, in my view is what we are talking about, with the Republican President, deeply unpopular two years to go in his term and a congress with democratic majorities in both the Senate and House of Representatives. We face a titanic struggle one that involves major issues facing the nation, such as the War in Iraq and the enormous deficits in the Federal budget. Indeed I believe that the next two years will be characterized by a test of the fundamentals of the American constitutional system. Listen if you will to what the respected Financial Times of London said editorially only yesterday in title George Bush and the Imperial Presidency. The subtitle of the editorial is Congress can and must reign in the power hungry president. The Financial Times editorial went on to say, Mr. Bush has a habit of arrogating even more power to the executive holds risks at home as well as abroad. Mr. Bush is expert at playing the American system of separation of power unless congress is vigilant and forceful the imperial executive will govern unrestrained. The founding fathers, they conclude, knew the dangers of an imperial presidency, so they gave congress the job of reining him in. Now it's the time for legislators to start doing their job in earnest. That's the end of the editorial quote from the FT. The current debate on Iraq, the debate's upcoming on the president's just released budget the start of hearings into the allocation of the defense contracts, these are all signs that the 110th congress will indeed do his job. So as I think about the relevance of the carrer of Paul H. Douglas in the United States Senate to the challenges facing our elected officials in Washington DC today I draw two conclusions. First, congress must vigorously pursue the kinds of reforms I have earlier recited in campaign finance, in lobbing and in legislative procedures. Second, members of the United States Senate and House of Representatives must aggressively fulfill their constitutional responsibility of engaging the executive branch in forging the policies of the United States. There is simply not one decider in the American constitutional system. There are one President, one Vice President, 435 members of the House of Representatives and 100 members of the United States Senate. As a former professor of Political Science, I have a reading assignment for you. And here I remind you that after retiring from the Senate, Senator Douglas joined the Economics department of the then graduate faculty of the New School. Here is your assignment. The splendid book Ethics and Government delivered at Harvard University during January 1952 has the Godkin lectures by Paul H. Douglas. Listen to the opening lines of those lectures delivered just 55 years ago. "The American public has become increasingly uneasy in recent months about the moral practices of many government officials" Sound familiar? Senator Douglas then sights specific abuses in government power, abuses usually uncovered by congressional hearings and investigations. The Senator then goes on to offer remedies for dealing with the ethical problems of both legislators and administrators, and observes. "Guide books are helpful for travel abroad and save many weary hours and a multitude of false turnings why then in our far more important journey through life, should we not work out some specific guide for conduct in so large an area as governmental affairs? We should treat, he says, the whole area of government as a vital part of the ethical life which we should try to conduct on the highest possible level. To this end, guiding principles and codes backed up by certain social sanctions can be of great aid to the troubled navigators on the stormy seas of life." President Kerrey Senator Kerrey, I respectfully suggest that you and I should invite our colleague President Derek Bok of Harvard to ask the Harvard University press to reprint Senator Douglas's Godkin lectures Ethics in government and send a copy to every member of the United States Senate and House of Representatives, every member of the United States Senate and House of Representatives, every member of the Cabinet, and if I may be permitted to say so to President Bush as well. As we stand on the threshold of a new century with immense challenges facing the people of our country. What the United States of America needs today are m ore leaders like Paul H. Douglas of Illinois. Thank you.

Tough place for visiting Tigers: Etling leads LSU against Auburn
Les Miles is 6-0 as LSU head coach vs Auburn in Baton Rouge. At Auburn, the results are far different.
Miles is 2-3 at Auburn. His Tigers have scored 65 points in those 5 games.
Quarterback Danny Etling says Jordan-Hare as earned its reputation as a tough place for visiting teams.
"It is going to be a tough place to play," said Etling. "It deserves the respect it has earned."
In his first start, Etling threw for 215 yards and a touchdown in LSU's 23-20 over Mississippi State. Etling, a transfer from Purdue, sat out the 2015 season. He says his days of being an anonymous quarterback at LSU are over.

WILBRAHAM - Students at Wilbraham Middle School were kept inside for recess after a bear was spotted at the edge of the woods.
The bear apparently wandered away, but students were kept inside for the rest of the school day as a precaution, School Superintendent M. Martin O'Shea said.
Wilbraham Police dispatch supervisor Thomas Cortis said the bear was sighted by many residents as it walked along Main Street through residential backyards.
About school dismissal time, the bear was sighted from Mile Tree School, and police were dispatched to the school, Cortis said.
O'Shea said police helped escort students onto the school buses when school ended.
All students were escorted safely onto the buses, the school superintendent said.
"It was a single bear. There were no bear cubs," Cortis said.
He said environmental police were contacted, and they advised police to let the bear wander back into the woods if it did not try to hurt anybody.
"There are still a lot of woods in Wilbraham," Cortis said.
Police used no weapons around the bear, Cortis said.
"If the bear crosses Main Street, it could be back in the woods in a second," Cortis said.
Bear sighting prompts Wilbraham officials to take precautions at 2 schools

Rock of Ages - Shaftesbury Theatre
Preview by Lizzie Guilfoyle
ROCK OF Ages, the hit Broadway rock/jukebox musical, will receive its West End premiere at the Shaftesbury Theatre, where it begins preview performances on August 31, 2011.
Set on the Sunset Strip of 1987, Rock of Ages is the story of Drew, a busboy and aspiring rocker who chases his dreams to Los Angeles' most famous rock club, where he meets Sherrie, a small-town girl newly arrived from Kansas.
Rock of Ages is built around classic rock hits from the 1980s, especially from the famous glam metal bands of the decade, and features songs from Styx, Journey, Bon Jovi, Pat Benatar, Twisted Sister, Steve Perry, Poison and Asiaand, among others.
It includes more than 20 hits, such as I Wanna Rock, Cum on Feel the Noize, Waiting for a Girl Like You, Hit Me With Your Best Shot, The Final Countdown, Don't Stop Believin' and I Want to Know What Love Is.
However, the title track by Def Leppard is not included because Universal Music Group did not allow the producers to get licenses for their songs.
Rock of Ages, which has a book by Chris D'Arienzo, premiered in Los Angeles in 2006. In October 2008, it opened Off-Broadway and the following April transferred to Broadway's Brooks Atkinston Theater. Although temporarily closed in the Big Apple, it's scheduled to reopen later this month at the Helen Hayes Theater.
In 2009, Rock of Ages was nominated for five Tony Awards but converted none, the year's big winner being Billy Elliot The Musical. The show is currently touring Australia and America, with a screen adaption starring Tom Cruise planned for 2012.
The Shaftesbury Theatre has been largely dark since the premature closure of Flashdance the Musical on January 15, 2011. However, prior to Rock of Ages, Derren Brown's new show Svengali runs for a limited season from June 8 to July 16, 2011.

It's probably something of an understatement to say that life for military families isn't exactly normal. With all the long periods of deployment, frequent moves, and all kinds of other complications, there's a lot of things which can make life a little tough to manage. One of the many things you'll have to worry about, like anyone, is the financial health of your family. Here are some helpful tips which will ensure you have a smooth ride ahead of you.
Make Some Low-Cost Investments

If you've been reading my blog for a while, you'll know that I'm always encouraging people to take advantage of the investment opportunities available to them. If someone in your family has worked in the military, they'll have a distinct advantage here: access to some of the lowest-cost retirement plans in the country. The Thrift Savings Plan, for example, charges a mere 25 cents a year for every $1,000 invested, and allows you to choose from a target-date fund or one of five index mutual funds. Servicemen and women also have access to the Roth TSP, which is pretty much the Roth IRA except without the income restrictions. There are a lot of retirement plans you can choose from, each with their own benefits and drawbacks. When you're weighing up your options, make sure you're not cheating yourself out of the low-cost investments exclusive to military members.
Choose the Right Loans

Every now and then, life throws us a curveball, and we have to find other sources to see ourselves through to the next paycheque. When you find yourself having to pay for some expensive auto or home repairs in a military family, it's important to choose the best possible options available to you. There are a lot of home equity and personal loans with some pretty attractive rates, but you may find that a military loan is a smarter choice. Products like Omni Military Loans offer a flexible range of amounts, and usually operate quick, easy approvals. These lenders are generally very responsible as well, and will weigh up your ability to repay the loan before proceeding with any application. Even if you're not in the throng of a financial emergency, it's a good idea to have a look at your loan options now.
Take Advantage of Tax Breaks
One of the many things that makes military life more complicated is regular and often unpredictable transfers. While these aren't exactly the best part of the job, there's a certain benefit in them. Military men and women are able to keep legal residence in one state even after being transferred to another, provided they're still actively employed by the military. This kind of freedom can be a huge help if the military member in your family is stationed in a tax-free state, for example Florida, and is then moved to another part of the country where they'd have to pay state income taxes. The spouse of a military member can also maintain that original legal residency, even if they have to move.

The "Release Shea McClellin" bandwagon seems to be gaining passengers at a rapid pace, but don't expect to see general manager Phil Emery or head coach Marc Trestman aboard anytime soon.
I'll admit, I've been as discouraged as most that McClellin struggled at his new linebacker position against the Philadelphia Eagles last week. But I also have more patience than most and I'm willing to ride out the storm and see if he settles in at some point. And although his body type prohibited him from succeeding as a defensive end, his skill set keeps the door open, at the very least, to the possibility that he can contribute to the Bears defense in some capacity.
The idea that McClellin won't make the roster seems farfetched at this point. His status as a first-round draft pick is one of the biggest factors going for him, but the uncertainty and instability from the rest of the linebacking corps works out in his favor as well.
Fellow linebacker Jon Bostic is another player who needs to show some improvement. Bostic is in a battle with veteran D.J. Williams for the starting middle linebacker position, but he did not have a great performance against the Eagles. Bostic could be a more natural fit at weakside linebacker, but that's being manned by perennial Pro Bowler Lance Briggs.
Bostic, like McClellin, isn't in any real danger of not making the final roster, but it would behoove him to make strides toward becoming a starting NFL linebacker.

Here at Econsultancy we try to write about Google Glass when we can, because we know it's of great interest to marketers, and indeed the rest of humanity.
On Friday some of Econsultancy's Content team tried Google Glass at Somo's incredible gadget room in its London HQ, where they develop new tech uses for clients (thanks, Somo).
It was fun, but also revealing, so I thought I'd share some of what we saw and felt.
For the complete run down on Glass functions, you can visit Google's help centre.
Glass is a peripheral
Glass can pick up WiFi, so you can use it on its own. But, out and about, you'll need to sync it with an Android device that has the MyGlass app. The two will interact via Bluetooth.
Weirdly, I hadn't read this or given it much thought, though it makes perfect sense. Whether a fully developed Glass will remain Android-only, or gradually become available to iPhone users is moot for now.
However, once it's out there on the market and working well, it could obviously be a hardware game-changer.
One feels a little vulnerable looking up and to the right
The display is necessarily not right in the middle of your eye. This is to stop Glass wearers from falling down holes.
However, when you want to consult Glass, there is a slight withdrawing from reality that has to happen, just like when you check your phone. When you decide to look at the Glass display, you are distracted from what's happening in front of you, and it kind of made me want to tell everyone to shut up whilst I used it.
This is probably just something that we'll forget as we become quicker and more confident Glass users.
The main commands – 'OK Glass', and the NY Times app
- Take a picture.
- Record a video.
- Send a message to.
- Get directions to.
- Make call to.
The photos are taken instantly, the videos stop at 10 seconds. These main commands work pretty well, so the device feels like a powerful peripheral that needs a bit of finessing.
We used the NY Times app, and it delivered headlines in a powerful way, but we found it quite difficult to use to any depth because we were quite cack-handed with the touchpad (see further discussion below).
Getting directions is quick and powerful, and is one of the first focuses
Google already obviously has great heritage in maps and directions. It also has heritage in voice recognition, with voice activated search having been around for a while.
On Glass the directions work well. Our Head of Social, Matt, confidently set walking directions to Paddington Railway from our Piccadilly location. An arrow appeared in view and urged him in the right direction.
Google will be working hard on its WPS (WiFi positioning system) tech to make sure that on a WiFi network, Glass pinpoints its wearer accurately and allows exploration indoors.
The voice recognition is both a strength and a weakness
One of the main glitches at the moment is the sensitive microphone on Glass. As we excitedly chatted, Glass picked up the words of its wearer's interlocutors. So as I composed an email via Glass, other people's words jumped in.
Similarly at Glass homepage, the device was picking up noise, occasionally moving from the menu.
However, when there was no interference, the voice recognition was very powerful. I composed an email in seconds, and sent it from Glass. Interestingly, when our Deputy Editor put the device on and laughed, Glass pulled up a profile of Korean comedian Ha Dong-Hoon (or Ha-Ha).
Glass contacts are currently drawn from Google Plus
So when we said 'Ok Glass…send a message to…Josh', the app retrieved an email address from Josh's Google Plus profile (he was already in our Circles).
This current restriction is probably to protect the data generated by Glass i.e. no syncing with your Facebook or Twitter apps just yet.
You can see how what is often called the 'vertical stack' is becoming more and more interlinked by Google's single sign-on. Aside from Glass, the easiest way to keep your contacts for life seems to be to add them to your Google Plus and then sync with devices, Gmail etc.
NB, ten contacts can be added directly to Glass.
Gestures are a little sensitive and take practice
The touchpad on the side of Glass is hard to get the hang of. This is because it is outside your field of vision, and we are used to swiping phones we are looking at. The pad is also quite small, and one has to perform three or four gestures on it, tapping, swiping back, forth and down.
After a while this is easier, though it's obviously not yet as reliable as a phone's touch screen.
Apps are mostly proof-of-concepts
Seeing that Glass is definitely a working prototype made me realise that a lot of the apps in development (see app directory) are just PoCs. They most likely don't function properly yet, apart from perhaps five or six e.g. Path, NYC and CNN apps.
Way down the line, Glass could have great uses in education
We were trying Glass with our 15 year old intern, David, who rightly flagged up that lecture notes, recording of practicals, sending of handouts etc, could all be done with Glass, as it's being done with tablets.
Hopefully, education (not just consumerism) will benefit, with information being served to us where relevant.
Glass isn't the height of sartorial elegance
The proof is littered through this article...(fyi, I was holding a bottle of spirits as it was a Friday and we were filming a Vine, which we may release at a later date - we didn't drink the vodka and we don't condone excessive consumption).

Is there any social media connectivity rather than Google Plus...by using this glass
Hi seoconsultindia!
That was my mother's name ;-)
There's a Facebook and Twitter app, but I'm not sure either are fully authorized by G yet.
Undoubtedly they will be up and running before long, but I expect the onus still to be on G+ contacts and then Android phone contacts eventually.
Google's brand team will be disappointed - Apple, Samsung & Microsoft logos in the background, but no Google!
On the 'sartorial' point - it still makes everyone look as if they're in fancy dress to me.
Putting another spin on this, I had a meeting last week with a Googler who rocked up to the meeting wearing Glass. The meeting had nothing to do with Glass.
As the "other party", I spent a considerable amount of time wondering if I was being recorded; was the other guy paying attention to me, or reading mails, etc etc. Maintaining eye-contact was also tricky with something else being so close to the person's eyes.
Ben - did you or the team pick up on this vibe either when wearing, or when talking to wearers?
NB, and thanks to Brian Gundersen for this - you can use Glass with an iPhone. You just can't take advantage of the texting and GPS navigation - It should be noted that the GPS is pretty much the most important feature at the moment, though.
Yeah, it's been a big part of early discussion. The fact there's a sensor on the inside of Glass, that can in future enable photos to be taken with the wink of an eye, has caused some to hark back to this Black Mirror episode. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2089050/
In reality, I'm not sure if we aren't already quite close to this with camera phone penetration.
"When you decide to look at the Glass display, you are distracted from what's happening in front of you, and it kind of made me want to tell everyone to shut up whilst I used it.
This is probably just something that we'll forget as we become quicker and more confident Glass users."
No we won't. This is a limitation of our brains which can only focus on one discrete task at a time.
Nice piece though. Thanks for posting.

AirPrint made its first appearance in iOS 4.2, promising much but, due to a limited number of compatible printers, not quite delivering. There are work-arounds but these are clumsy and tricky to implement and as a result, most users have used more traditional methods of transferring images from their Apple devices to their printers.
Finally, it looks like a solution has arrived and AirPrint can, at last, start to fulfil its true potential. Software company Collobos has developed an app called FingerPrint, which uses Bonjour technology to find printers on your wireless network and display them on your iDevice. Once FingerPrint has detected your devices, you can print files directly, open them on your PC or laptop or 'print' them to a Dropbox folder if you have one set up.
Just under $10 (around £6.30) may seem a little steep for an app but the reviews suggest that it's well worth the cost, especially when rival app Printopia is selling for $19.95 (about £12.58). Reviews for Printopia have also been positive so, whichever app you choose, you can now get the most out of your wireless printer and Apple iDevice.

The main characters are: Andrew, Sharon, Nicky, and Mrs. Kelly. My favorite character is Andrew because he is very funny because he made blue dots on his face to pretend he had freckles.
I felt happy when I read this book because Sharon tricks Andrew into giving her the fifty cents. I also felt happy for Andrew because he learned he didn't need freckles to be special.
I like the illustrations in this book. My favorite picture is when he drinks the freckle juice. I like it because it has lots of detail and Andrew looks sick.
I recommend this book to 3rd and 4th graders and higher because it has good illustrations and very funny characters.

Understanding the phylogenetic structures of plant communities is being developed in community ecology. Based on the species coexistence, we analyzed phylogenetic signals within forest layers, using species abundance data as well as their occurrences (presence/absence) within plots. We found that plant communities in the different forest layers express various phylogenetic structures. While the pattern of abundance phylogenetic structure vary among forest layers, all forest layers showed a pattern of spatial phylogenetic clustering (meaning that species cohabiting within a same plot are much related), with some significant values driven by substrate differentiation

Walking in Florence, I felt as if I were in a movie. Narrow alley ways, orange roof tops, yellow walls with green windows and the blue hills for the back ground...everything was pictorial. Mountain skyline is what I'm missing in East Anglia.
Ponte Vecchio
It is said that in Europe, there were several bridges with houses on it like the Ponte Vecchio. I believe the London Bridge was also one of them because there is the scene in the novel "London" by Edward Rutherfurd when Tiffany falls down in to the river Themes from a window of a house on the bridge...just like Lauretta says in the aria.

SLX 800i and SLX 800t FULL REVIEW
Back to Nocturnal Lights Home || Back to Reviews
The SLX 800T Technical Light was measured to have an in-water light penetration distance of 56 feet, which surpassed all the other lights. This means that up to 56' we were able to distinguish that there was a diver lurking in the dark. However, the light traveled to roughly 60-70' but at that distance we were unable to locate the diver in the dark. We found the light to be easy to turn on and off using either bare hands or gloves with grip (3mm Neosport and Akona Adventure Gloves were tested). Note: The light is negatively buoyant, so if dropped it will sink which is normal for most dive lights. The light was easy to handle and produced tons of light. I'd feel comfortable using this as a primary light for all open water dives including wreck penetrations or cave dives.

Chipotle Cheese Fondue with Homemade Pretzels
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: This is a Mexican-inspired fondue using chipotle chili peppers that give the fondue a great smoky spicy flavor. It does turn out pretty spicy so if you are not a big fan of spicy food you could decrease the number of peppers. For this recipe I like to use homemade pretzels. You could make this two ways: You could make pretzel nuggets to dip using the fondue forks or make sticks that make it easy for guests to dip without using the forks. - singing_baker —singing_baker
Food52 Review: This is a nice southwestern twist on a classic fondue. The chipotles give a nice kick of heat. Don't forget the scallions and cilantro as they really brighten up the cheese mixture. I kept the lime juice to the side and liked the fondue without the lime, but that is a personal preference. The pretzels are easy and fun to make. I would also use tortilla chips, bell peppers, carrots and celery as dunkers. The leftover fondue is great for adding to burritos, nachos, or on top of rice and beans. —Helen's All Night Diner
Serves: 4-6
1 1/2
cups Warm water
tablespoons Dark brown sugar
teaspoons Honey
2 1/2
teaspoons Active dry yeast
tablespoons unsalted butter(melted and cooled)
4 1/2
cups Bread flour
teaspoons Salt
Olive oil
quarts Water
cup Baking soda
Eggs beaten with 1 Tbs. water
Sea Salt
- In the bowl of a stand mixer with the dough hook attached combine the warm water, brown sugar, honey, melted butter and yeast. Let stand for five minutes.
- Turn on mixer at lowest speed and start to add the flour a little at a time. Once all the flour is combined add the salt. urn mixer on to medium speed and let the dough hook knead for about five minutes. If the dough seems too wet add a little flour at a time until it reaches a desired consistency, It should be slightly wet. Oil a bowl with olive oil and turn the dough in it to cover it with oil. Cover with plastic wrap and leave in a warm place until it has doubled about an hour.
- Preheat oven to 425 and put parchment paper on two large baking sheets. Bring the water to a boil in a wide pot. While waiting for the water to boil take the pretzel dough and taking a little bit at a time, shape it into sticks or little nuggets. I like the sticks to be four inches long and about a 1/2 inch wide. Or if you want to do nuggets about 1/2 inch chunks because they do get larger.
- When he water is boiling add the baking soda and put in as many sticks/nuggets without over crowding them. Boil them for no longer then a minute. Spoon them out onto the parchment lined baking sheets. Brush with egg wash and sprinkle with sea salt. Repeat this process as needed
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until golden brown. Let sit at least 10 minutes before dipping into fondue.
Chipotle Cheese Fondue
cups Sharp Cheddar, Shredded
cups Pepperjack cheese, Shredded
tablespoon Cornstarch
Olive oil
Garlic cloves, minced
cup Mexican beer, Preferably Tecate
tablespoon Lime juice
Chipotle Chilis in adobo Sauce, chopped
Chopped Cilantro or scallions for garnish
- Combine cheeses with cornstarch in a large bowl. Heat fondue pan on high. Coat the bottom lightly with olive oil. When shimmering add the garlic. Cook until golden. De-glaze the pan with the Mexican beer. bring to a simmer and add the cheese mixture.
- Mix in the lime juice and chopped chipotle peppers. Garnish with cilantro or scallions. Serve with homemade pretzel sticks/nuggets.

- About Us
UCAR Central Authentication Server (UCAS) passwords are necessary to access some internal UCAR systems, but not for accessing the NCAR supercomputers and other resources that CISL manages.
Authorized personnel can request UCAS passwords for others via the Admin tab in the UCAR People Search portal.
To change your UCAS password, see https://kpasswd.ucar.edu/cgi-
A strong password is the first line of defense for an individual computer user's account. This document provides the information you need to help keep your account and NCAR computers secure.
For example, the following are equally ineffective:
Hackers are well aware of all these tricks and can easily break such passwords.
You can create a strong and memorable password—or passphrase—by building a phrase or sentence that is known only to you and using multiple words and both upper- and lower-case letters, with numbers and symbols. Longer is stronger. Many people find it easier to remember shocking nonsense phrases that they would never say aloud than to remember shorter acronyms.
Here are two non-shocking examples:
Note 1: Since the passwords shown here are in a public document, do not use any of them for your personal password.
Note 2: We avoided blanks and single quotes in the above passphrases because those two characters cause problems on some systems.
Keep your passphrase private. Do not share it with anyone. Do not write it down where it can be found by others or identified as your UCAR passphrase. If you find it absolutely necessary to write something down, do not write the phrase itself, but rather a hint that will remind only you of the passphrase. Do this on a card with no other information about where it applies, in case the card is stolen, and keep it safe. Good places are in a wallet or fireproof home safe.
The safest place to change your passphrase is on your UCAR workstation if you have one, or on the first UCAR host you normally log into.
If necessary, you can change your password on a central UCAR Kerberos familiarization host or web site.
To change your password on a UCAR command line host, you will run either of the following commands:
passwd -K
It will ask you for your old password, request the new one, and finally ask you to confirm the new one to avoid potential problems caused by typos.
If you are asked on a UCAR host for the old password for username @CIT.UCAR.EDU, username @MIT.EDU, or some other realm instead of UCAR.EDU, you can start over and specify UCAR this way: kpasswd username @UCAR.EDU.
The easiest way is to run the Kerberos (Mac OS X 10.5) or Ticket Viewer (Mac OS X 10.6) applications that your sysadmins may have made visible for you. It will ask you for your old password, request the new one, and finally ask you to confirm the new one to avoid potential problems caused by typos.
Otherwise, run the Terminal application, use it to log in to your normal divisional command line host or passwd.ucar.edu, and follow the command line host instructions above.
The easiest way is to run the Network Identity Manager or Leash application that your sysadmins may have installed for you. Click on the password change button, or select the password change menu item. It will ask you for your old password, request the new one, and finally request you confirm the new one to avoid potential problems caused by typos.
Otherwise, run your ssh client (typically putty.exe or VanDyke Secure CRT), use it to log in to your normal divisional command line host or kpasswd.ucar.edu, and follow the command line host instructions above.
If you do not have the ability to change your passphrase on your workstation or on a system you normally log in to, then you should use the https://kpasswd.ucar.edu/ web form to change your passphrase.
Your UCAS password login will continue to work in the same places as before. You'll just use the new UCAS password you set or received in place of your old one.
The first time you use your password after creating or resetting it, you will need to change it to one that only you know.
If you ever need or want to reset your password, and you have a UCAS token (a CRYPTOCard or Yubikey issued by UCAR), you can visit https://kreset.ucar.edu/ at any time, without having to wait.
If you do not have a UCAS token, contact your group's help desk or sysadmins for assistance.
After you authenticate and get your master ticket, Kerberos V uses secure service tickets to transparently log you in to additional resources. You should be aware of just four basic commands.
Start with this one. This is the command you use to authenticate and get your initial ticket. It is often called transparently by your login dialog box, your screen saver unlock, and the like.
This is the command you use to change your passphrase. (Some systems use passwd -K for the same job.) It is sometimes called transparently for you by kinit when your passphrase has expired.
This is the command you use to list your tickets. You'll see your master Ticket Granting Ticket, and perhaps other service tickets for LDAP, ftp, and the like for resources that Kerberos has transparently logged you in to use.
This is the command you use to remove your tickets when you're done with them. They'll expire on their own, but if you're finished for the day, it's a good idea to nuke them early. It is often called transparently when you log out of a system.
Run the Kerberos (Mac OS X 10.6) or Ticket Viewer (Mac OS X 10.6) application that your sysadmins may have made visible to you. You can use this application to manage your Kerberos tickets for logging in to Kerberized UCAR services.
Run the Network Identity Manager or Leash application that your sysadmins may have installed for you. You can use this application to manage your Kerberos tickets and make them available for logging to Kerberized UCAR services.
Some systems and web applications are prone to login failures if certain characters are used in passwords or passphrases.
Problem characters include:
The simplest solution is to avoid using these when you create a password or passphrase.

Royal wedding Dalek to serve snacks at street party
royal wedding street party with a difference will see
a Dalek serve up trays of drinks and snacks to guests on Friday – presumably with cries of 'Extermi-Cake'.
Doctor Who fan Chris Balcombe spent a week painting the Dalek red, white and blue and decorating it with union jacks and photos of Prince William and Kate Middleton .
Mr Balcombe, 51, who has operated Daleks for the BBC and owns three, said 'It's not every day we get a royal wedding, so it was well worth the effort.
'Besides, I bet our Friday bash is going to be the only street party with a Dalek serving up the grub!'
The party's location is a secret, as residents want to avoid gate crashers – and angry Cybermen , of course.
Meanwhile, a dress rehearsal for the royal wedding took place in the wee hours of this morning at London's Westminster Abbey.
Hundreds of soldiers, sailors and airmen took part in the dry run which kicked off in the capital at around 4.50am.
See photos of the royal wedding rehearsal below
