Christine Quinn hates it when people say "it is what is." As a kid she read every biography in her school library about a political leader or famous woman. "The idea in all of those books was that you could change things," she says in her recent Big Think interview, "Nothing 'is what it is'—things can always change to what we want them to be, and to be better. And as a kid that's the idea I got out of those books."
As Speaker of the New York City Council—and arguably the second most powerful person in New York behind billionaire Mayor Mike Bloomberg—Quinn is both a political leader and a famous woman. Despite being one of the Mayor's proudest supporters, Quinn diplomatically avoided answering any questions regarding Bloomberg's ambitions to run for President in 2012 and any questions regarding her own ambitions to fill his shoes at Gracie Mansion. When asked whether New Yorkers should see the Mayor's recent reversal on term limits as hypocritical, Quinn says it would be a losing battle to tell New Yorkers how they should or shouldn't see anything. "What I can say is that, you know, I've never been a supporter of term limits and I'm not going to be voting in support of the referendum question next week," she adds.
Like the rest of the country, Quinn agrees that New York is too reliant on Wall Street tax revenue. The answer to diversifying New York's tax base, she says, is to focus on promoting growth in industries that people already associate with the Big Apple—like food. "Every other person you meet has a dream of creating a restaurant, a catering company, the next great cupcake," says Quinn, " So we are right now taking an old warehouse in East Harlem and converting it to an industrial kitchen, a place that will help and allow probably 40 or 50 start up food companies a year to be born, put people to work and get out there and
support themselves."
Speaking of supporting oneself, Quinn acknowledges that despite being known as an international melting pot and a bastion of tolerance, New York has a ways to go before becoming more inclusive and affordable. As an openly gay individual who recently participated in Dan Savage's "It Get's Better" campaign, Quinn expresses concern over a recent rise in hate crimes in New York. "We are in a place we'd rather not be at right now in 2010 where we're seeing anti-LGBT hate crimes occurring at a much higher number than they did last year," she says. Quinn also offers up her own coming out story, which happened while riding the subway with her early boss Tom Duane, another openly gay New York City Councilman.
People tend to focus on their differences as problems, says Quinn, as opposed to using them as assets, or something that propels them to work harder and focus.
Finally, Quinn's conscience prohibits her from saying which will happen first—the next Mets World Series or the completion of the Second Avenue Subway—because her 84 year-old father claims he is not going to die until he gets to ride on the latter. In addition, Quinn says Franklin Delano Roosevelt is the greatest and most inspiring New Yorker of all time. "His wife," she adds, "was a close second."

Open Thread: Talk About Clothes, Style, Fashion — Whatever the Heck You Like to Call It
Your place to come talk about clothes whenever you feel like it.
For being a pretty open person about most things, I am surprisingly protective of my tattoo.
Despite getting it nearly a year ago, I haven't posted many photos of it online anywhere. It's not like the story behind it is bound up in some super-personal trauma, and I'm certainly not embarrassed by it -- it's a stag with oak tree branch antlers, not a portrait of my first love (Brian from the Backstreet Boys) or something.
But I thought about what I wanted for so long that when I actually got it, I realized I didn't really want to show it off. It's like when you get a tiny crush on someone and keep it a secret for no real reason. It's not ever going to be earth-shaking, but it's important to you, and it starts feeling like a flame you have to cup your hands around to keep lit.
The really strange thing is that I'm not even that into deer in real life. Like, I lived in upstate New York and Northern California, I know deer can be dipshits who eat all your flowers and run into your cars. I am way more likely to get all excitable over bats or foxes or wolves, as far as animals native to the U.S. go. Still, though, because I associate deer with both California and Ithaca -- and with the goddess Artemis, and with the boundaries between humans and nature, and all that liminality stuff I love thinking about -- I tend to surround myself with portrayals of does and stags.
I didn't really notice this until I moved into my new place in Chicago. My friend was helping me decorate my room when she stopped, raising an eyebrow at me.
"You kinda got a theme here going, bud," she said.
"What, besides 'human disaster?'"
"Yes, besides that," she said, looking around. "How many pictures of deer do you need?"
"Um," I said. "Apparently at least three."
I guess it's a good thing, right? I mean, you're supposed to like your tattoo. But I have occasionally stopped to think about whether it's tacky to wear patterns that match your body art. My little dude (OK, yes, I think of him as my little dude, though he doesn't have a proper name) isn't especially visible, but you can certainly see his antlers with most of my sleeveless shirts. Considering that fawn print is apparently In this season, I may be getting a lot more opportunities to go from "Man, that girl sure loves nature!" to "I'm, like, 90% sure that girl is two sleeps away from weaving her hair into a hammock and moving to Banff." Particularly since I recently dyed my whole head green.
In anticipation of that inevitability (of my own descent into Nature Girl Style, not a Juniper Tree exodus), here's some of my favorite ways to incorporate deer into your every aesthetic decision. No stag tattoo required.
Unfortunately, a search for "deer shoes" will often turn up "shoes made of deer," which is not so much my scene. You can make Hannah proud, though, by attaching these shoe clips to any of your favorite heels, then pairing them (this might not make her so proud) with some appropriately themed socks, leg warmers or indecently warm-looking leggings. Remember, like Sock Wizard says, "Deer are so beautiful in wild."
ModCloth's "On Antler On" dress was really the beginning of the end for me in terms of deer-themed clothing. I spent way too much money on it and, now that the weather has turned cold, it will probably not come out of closet hibernation until spring. However, though it is tragically out of stock, I can attest that it is incredibly comfortable, has pockets, and, thanks to its handy moose-head inclusion, would come in handy for anyone (me) trying to get a walk-on role of a revival of the long-dead buddy cop sitcom "Due South."
While you wait with bated breath for M.C. to get their inventory up to speed, might I also suggest this Bambi shift by Sugarhill, a reindeer sweater dress, or this very strange but somehow still appealing number, which looks like something I might wear to Greek God '80s prom. Alternatively, if you're desperate to drop a chunk of change to look fancy while hiding from predators in the woods, this fawn print dress by Carven would do just nicely.
Though it is the holiday season, and therefore reindeer sweaters abound, I prefer outerwear that seems a little more deliberately woodsy. (Also, have you noticed that deer on holiday sweaters always look like they've been in some tragically disfiguring oil tanker accident, a la "Once Upon a Forest?") Hence, this deer-on-a-bike cardigan, which combines so many discrete hipster elements that my mouth tastes like craft beer just looking at it. (As does this deer with a mustache and monocle t-shirt.) For a less urban wildlife feel, there's a deer in the forest silhouette screenprint, an Adidas stag-head pullover or a shirt from someone who clearly had the same tree-branch dream that I did when designing my little dude.
(And if you're not picky about what species your antlers belong to, this springbok pullover, gentleman moose t-shirt or moose-wearing-snowshoes hoodie would both be excellent choices for any trip to the Natural History Museum.)
Here's where I start getting into trouble. I could probably get away with wearing a deer sweater, barring surprise nudity. But the chances of me wearing, say, a stag head necklace, adorable cameo doe pendant or antler earrings with a dress that showed off my little dude in all his glory are, well, much higher. Even this super-cute deer print circle scarf is light enough to be paired with a tank top in the summer. I guess at the end of the day, I'll end up attracting a hunting enthusiast or the anthropomorphic personification of the Greek god Pan. I guess it's a good thing I'm not picky.
"But Kate!" I hear you cry. "Though I understand the urge to surround oneself with relics of the forest, I don't actually want to adorn my own body with them!" Fear not, my strangely particular friend. If you want to trick animal-hating people into actually coming into your home before they realize your obsession, might I suggest deer-themed interior decorations? The above print was actually done by my friend Misha Ashton, whom I met while staying in a hostel during my first fortnight in Chicago. She was in town for a few art fairs, and I obsessed over that caribou picture for a full week before finally making it my first official step toward nesting in my new home. (My second step, for the record, was buying a deer antler cast-iron necklace holder in black. I'm telling you, my room has a motif.)
On the off-chance you don't want to replicate my living space entirely (though I can't imagine why not), you can check out this deer pillow cover, a cardboard deer head faux-taxidermy number or even this bizarrely cutesy Artemis-was-here screen print. Fair warning, though -- based on my track record, I can't promise I won't buy these anyway in the near future.
Heaven forbid I ever get a Justin Bieber tattoo.
Kate is being a-deer-able (sorry, she couldn't resist just one pun) at @katchatters.

Born in Llanfairpwll, Anglesey, Elin Fflur with her intensity of performance and charismatic voice has created for herself a large following.
She came to national attention after performing the victorious song for the Song for Wales competition 2002. She joined Y Moniars for a while and released her first successful album with them.
Since then, two other popular albums have followed, one in collaboration with Caryl Parry Jones, and one with her own Band, which is now her main accompanying band in live gigs. Her natural talent for performing a range of songs, and the power of her delivery has made her one of the outstanding talents of her generation, and has ttracted interest from producers in the USA and England.
Her own songs are based on personal experiences, and are often composed with other members of the band. Sion Llwyd plays the bass-guitar, acoustic guitar and keyboards, Jason Huxley lead guitar and Gwion Llywelyn on the drums.

Liquid Taurine offers better absorption than capsules. Studies have shown Taurine to reduce the oxidative damage caused by sunlight to the eyes. It helps stimulate the body's ability to clean up waste by-products that accumulate in the retina.
Recommended dosage: 8 sprays per day for the first month, and then 2 per day thereafter.
N.B. The above plan, combined with the diet change shown in section 4, can reverse the effects of Type 2 Diabetes (age related).
Pancreas Support Spray contains two important trace minerals, Vanadium and Chromium, plus the herb Gymnema Sylvestre, which studies have all shown to be effective with helping diabetes. Note that you should monitor your need for insulin or tablets, as these nutrients may lower or replace the need for these drugs.
Recommended dosage: 6 sprays per day for the first two months; then 3 sprays per day for the next two months; and lastly, 1 spray per day as a preventative.
Lutein Nutritional Sublingual Spray is a liposomal spray that contains high levels of the key carotenoids Lutein and Zeaxanthin, together with 22 vitamin and minerals identified in a major study as being essential for eye health. They have been shown to protect the retina against sunlight and oxidative damage by free radicals, strengthen the blood vessels and improve blood flow to the eye. Sprayed under the tongue, it is the most effective way to deliver these nutrients to the eye in a few minutes.
Recommended dosage: 4 sprays 3 times per day for the first 3 bottles then reduce to 2 sprays 3 times per day.
MicroCurrent Stimulation uses a gentle cotton bud probe to safely apply a tiny electrical impulse to the acupressure points around the eyes. Stimulates ATP and cellular regeneration and has been shown in studies to improve the overall success.
Recommended dosage: Stimulate appropriate MicroCurrent points. Treatments per day for the first 2-4 weeks, and once per day thereafter.
Essential Fatty Acids in liquid form must contain at least 480 mg of DHA and 720 mg of EPA per teaspoon. This helps improve circulation, integrity of blood vessels, brain function, flexibility, and permeability of cell membranes. It also helps protect the retina's photoreceptor cells.
Recommended dosage: 1 teaspoon per day.
Alpha Lipoic Acid is the only antioxidant that is both fat and water-soluble. Studies have shown that patients with diabetes have increased cellular uptake and burning of glucose by approximately 50%. It has also been found to enhance the action of Glutathione and vitamins E and C.
Recommended dosage:100 mg 3 times per day.
MSM+Silver Water Drops are recommended for all eye conditions and are an inexpensive self treatment.

When I sat down to watch The Lookout, a 2007 movie written and directed by Scott Frank, but of which I knew little or nothing, my expectations weren't especially high. It turned out to be one of those very enjoyable experiences, when one stumbles upon something quite excellent, rather by chance. It's a good thriller,but it also makes some good points about the way the world treats people with disabilities.
Chris (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is young, rich and high-achieving man driving a car with three friends one night when, while showing off, he is involved in a terrible accident. Two passengers die, his girlfirend loses her leg,and he suffers brain damage. Four years later, he is working as a janitor in a bank, trying to cope with severe memory problems. His family is kind, but struggles to deal with him on his own terms, and he lives with a blind man, Lew, played by the ever-dependable Jeff Bridges.
Another young man, Gary (the English actor Matthew Goode), befriends him, and introduces him to the affectionate ex-pole dancer Luvlee (Isla Fisher, an Austrlian - yes, it's a cosmopolitan cast for a film set in a small American town, though actually filmed in Canada). Unfortunately, Gary's motives are base - he and his chums are planning to rob Chris's bank, and they need his help. The film is very good indeed on the subtle ways in which able-bodied people can mistreat those with disabilities. This is a subject which has interested me for years, and I've never seen a crime film deal with it better than this one.
The Lookout is not a formulaic movie, and you never quite know what will happen next. Suffice to say that I found the story satisfying, and very well written. The acting is absolutely excellent, and I'm surprised this film isn't better known. I really can recommend it, and there are one or two scenes that will linger in my memory for a long time to come.
Finally, I'm about to set off on my travels again. The last six months have involved a lot of activity on The Golden Age of Murder, The Dungeon House, and anthologies and introductions for the British Library Crime Classics series, and now I'm going to get away for it all for a while and think out the storyline of my next novel. There will be regular scheduled blog posts on a variety of subjects as usual, but internet access will be patchy, so I may be slow at times in responding to comments. But please do keep them coming...And one thing I'll miss whilst I'm away is an episode of Mastermind in which the Harry Devlin novels are a special subject. Fame at last! It's nice to think that Harry may just gain a new lease of life, and some new readers, as a result. I'm fond of the old chap, and enjoy writing up his cases enormously.

The Lookout - film review
Posted by Martin Edwards

I enjoyed this movie. I think Joseph Gordon-Leavitt is one of the best young actors of his generation. I'll watch him in anything. Even that sort of boring movie about the sex addict (DON JON). He wrote and directed that one, too. He and Julianne Moore were great to watch together. The rest of it left a lot to be desired.

This article originally appeared on LearnVest.com.You may think that you snagged a great deal on that flight home for Thanksgiving, but if you're planning on traveling with bags, think again.Not only are there fees galore just for checking a bag, but there are also fees for oversized and overweight luggage that could cost you $300 per bag (each way!). That, alone, could easily top the price of your ticket.Here's how to not be a sucker.
Most major airlines levy a $5 surcharge per bag for luggage fees paid at the airport. Paying via credit card when you check in for your flight online saves you money and time at the ticket counter.
Airlines with budget-friendly airfares are also friendly to your bags. JetBlue allows one checked bag per passenger free of charge and Southwest allows two.
The fees for large and heavy bags are large and heavy—anywhere from $50 to $175. Weighing your luggage before you leave ensures that there will be no surprises at the airport. Also, measure your luggage even if you think you know the size—packing bulges count.
If you can pack light (and small), you can avoid paying the checked bag fee altogether. These days, however, many people have the same idea, so if your bag will need to go in the overhead compartment, board the plane as soon as possible to snag a spot.
This is especially important if you plan to do a lot of shopping at your destination. A collapsible duffel takes up little room in your suitcase on the outbound trip and saves you from excess baggage fees on the inbound. You'll end up saving $20 to $100 if you pay for a second bag instead of packing everything into one big overweight suitcase.

Rental demand likely to aid for-sale housing market, report notes
Share on
The remainder of 2012 should see a markedly improved housing market, a report details, led by a strong rental sector, which continues to experience a high level of demand nationwide.
According to a report by The Demand Institute, home prices will increase modestly during the rest of this year. Additionally, a 2.5 percent price bump is projected between now and 2014.
Though improvements in the overall economy, including consumer industries, are expected to contribute to these rises, the institute states the rental housing sector will probably be the main factor in price growth.
"In these initial years, the prime driver of recovery won't be new home construction, but rather demand for rental properties," said report co-author Louise Keely. "This is a remarkable change from previous recoveries."
A return to health for the for-sale housing market could indicate a potential downslope for the rental segment in the next couple of years. However, property management companies and investors likely will see business remain high during the rest of 2012.

Sounds interesting. I have done a small test with a similar goal. But instead of doing a huge scan, I just selected a sample set of pages and validated them. My experience is that it is non-trivial to perform this kind of task using the W3C-validator. Mainly for the reason discussed recently on this list; the W3C validator (as it is right now) is not built to provide easily software-accessible error disagnostics. When a new version is available, providing diagnostic reports in XML, the task will be much simplified. Another cause of problems is that some sites do not deliver sensible information to the validator. Maybe they try to sense the user-agent type and be clever about what to deliver, and when the validator is the user-agent, they do not provide sensible pages. Furthermore, some pages are re-directions, in practice consisting only of some HEAD-element as <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="10;URL=some.url"> which means that the actual page to inspect is the one at "some.url", not the page containing the re-direction. Then we have pages that only contain a FRAMESET element, which means that the real page content comes from other pages. Such FRAMESET pages often are small and , due to their limited structure, they may very well be acceptable from a conformance point of view, though the full set of HTML that an ordinary web-browser encounters when hitting the FRAMESET page may very well be huge and error-ridden. What I did in the analysis of a set of pages was to disregard those pages that were remarkably small (there were pages less than 100 characters long, and how much sensible info can you cram into a document of that size), or really huge (I saw one that, as a single file, was 129K characters, and that should be regarded as being of an unmaintainable size). When computing statistics of pages there is a real risk of the statistics being perverted by a smaller number of pages that have abnormal characteristics. Still, what you are trying to do is really interesting and important. There seems to be a lack of statistical information about web standards conformance. And without such statistics, how do we know where we, as a technical sector, stand? What quality criteria should be fulfilled to what extent? And what tools and methods are in practice needed to get the quality up to an acceptable level? I would very much like to see some data from your investigations. Please make an announcement when you believe you have seen some patterns. /olle Oscar Eg Gensmann wrote: > Dear Validator List.I posted this message once when I hadn't joined > the list.

Indian merger creates fifth-largest generic drugmaker
In a merger of two India-based companies that creates the world's fifth-largest generic drugmaker, Sun Pharmaceuticals has agreed to buy Ranbaxy Labs from Daiichi Sankyo for $3.2 billion.
While the deal gives Sun access to major generics with tentative approval in the US and Ranbaxy's facilities in emerging markets, it also inherits a slew of manufacturing concerns that have kept Ranbaxy drugs from the US and European markets.
Sun gains generics of Novastis' blockbuster Diovan, AstraZeneca's Nexium and Roche's Valcyte.It also receives 180-day marketing exclusivity for allthree, should they win final approval by FDA, Bloomberg reports.
Sun has announced detailed turnaround plans for Ranbaxy that include righting its regulatory issues with the FDA, yet the company has endured FDA scrutiny of its own over manufacturing practices. Bloomberg reported recently that the FDA discovered that a facility run by Sun has been deleting quality control tests for some ingredients and products that go to the US.Additionally, a Karkhadi plant was banned from shipping products to the US last month.
Daiichi, which will end up with a 9%stake in Sun, paid 61% more than the current price tag when it bought Ranbaxy five years ago.

DrJays.com Staff Shares Which Brands We Think Are Hot For 2011
I asked some members of the DrJays.com team who their picks are for the best brands of 2011. We're not just talking brands sold on our site—we have a mixture of opinions in here from high fashion to urban. Check out what we have to say about who's doing it big this year, and also what some of our Facebook fans and Twitter followers think!
Carla Shackleford, DrJays.com Managing Editor
"I completely and totally heart A Detacher. The monochromatic ambiance, linear elegance and understated uniformity leave me craving. My current obsession? Their 'Didion' sandals."
Alana Hewitt, DrJays.com Buyer
"LaVie for men. Really new, fresh way of doing nautical. A lot of traditional stripes and colors, but with a twist. The upcoming collection is going to be hot."
La Vie Spring 2011
Andrew Fennell, DrJays.com Videographer/Photographer
"Public School. I've been a fan of this brand for a while; lots of black, leather and zippers. My type of Brand."
Public School Spring 2010
Jenny Wu, DrJays.com Videographer/Photographer
"Hellz for women, because they're coming out with some edgy stuff other streetwear brands aren't thinking of. It's not always about rhinestones, foil print & large logos. Hellz is perfect for the young spunky professional by fulfilling the void of a collabo between street and high fashion. The line allows you to dress up or down for any occasion. It puts personality into style."
Hellz Spring 2011
Kristen Jones, DrJays.com Buyer
"Rocawear for men. The spring/summer line is full of cleaner, more conservative looks that give customers a good mix of urban and contemporary styles."
Rocawear Spring 2011
Simone "Boss Lady" Kapsalides, DrJays.com Content Manager/Host of Live.DrJays.com
"I love, love, love Sass & Bide—and not just because I'm from Australia! They've dressed everyone from Beyoncé to Madonna, staying true to their earthy yet street inspired style. The clothes aren't super expensive but pricey enough to feel special each time you put something on. The brand's Fall 2011 ready-to-wear collection features bursts of sunburned orange, fuchsias and more subdued camel tones mixed with wild prints—I can't wait to pick up some pieces."
Sass & Bide Srping 2011
Kiran "Kiki" Goraya, DrJays.com Stylist/Content Coordinator
"It's hard to choose just one, but I remember STPL being a line that caught my eye at a recent trade show. The line has been around for a while but I'm a fan of the direction its going in 2011—a lot of clean contemporary looks with great details, along with some fun streetwear pieces. Although graphic tees can become annoying, I think they do theirs tastefully! I love their fitteds too. A great mixture of looks!"
STPL Fall 2011
From our Facebook fans and Twitter followers:
Kali Malik Boyd says "Dirt Label (TheDirtLabel.com)."
Mimi Wade says "Madonna's brand, Material Girl."
Brandon Toshihiro Msimanga says "Human Made by Nigo"

Pee and space
School teaches us a lot about the society we live in. But it misses out on some key lessons of life. For instance, it doesn't bother to explain how bad breath can single-highhandedly destroy your career. Or for that matter, why being silent is a symptom of strength in today's ecosystem. Most worryingly, modern-day schools continue to pretend as if corruption is a word from fairy tales. The world is changing so fast while our education system (is it education system or literacy system because there's a massive difference between the two?) continues to be stuck in a time zone. Maybe that's why it's becoming increasingly difficult to face the uncertain future that we've created for ourselves. But my greatest issue with the way things are today is the absolute disregard for etiquette in toilets. No, it doesn't matter whether the toilet is stinking rich with urea like a desi toilet is supposed to. My concern is the way men behave with the lottery system in place.
None of the schools teach the kids to go for the first or the fifth urinal if all of them are available. That way, you don't create an awkward situation for fellowmen. Let's say you pick 2, the next guy will have to choose 4 to maintain the much-required space in a sanitary relationship. And then the following guy who shows up will have to choose between 1, 3 and 5. None of these options bode well for any of the three people, especially if they have a medical condition that automatically shuts their peeholes if a person is standing right next to them with his dick out.

Fort Lauderdale`s Imperial Point, the Landings and the exclusive Bay Colony. Lauderhill`s elaborately landscaped Inverrary. Delray Beach`s golf course community, the Hamlet.
They all have one thing in common -- David Curland.
Curland, who has since moved up the coast to help guide the fortunes of Stuart`s Martin Downs, played a prominent role in the successful development of those communities as well as others.
In fact, since selling his first house in 1952, he has been involved in the marketing and selling of 7,000 homes from Fort Lauderdale to Stuart.
Curland recalls that, when he was with Haft-Gaines Co. at Imperial Point in northeast Fort Lauderdale, he was selling single-family homes from $12,000 to $29,000. ``At the Landings, east of U.S. 1 in northeast Fort Lauderdale, we were offering luxury homes from $39,000 to around $59,000,`` he added.
``While at the Landings, I remember that mortgage interest rates went over 6 per cent. Because of that, a lot of builders in the area got out of the business, figuring that such high rates spelled doom for the industry,`` Curland said.
``And, when Inverrary was launched, there were a lot of skeptics who thought that nothing way out there would ever go,`` he noted.
It was in the early 1940s, during World War II, that Curland, a native of Brooklyn, paid his first visit to Miami Beach and the area -- courtesy of the U.S. Air Force.
After military service, he returned to New York and worked for airlines. Eventually, he got tired of the northern weather and moved to Florida, where he quickly got involved in the housing industry.

At Long Last, André 3000 Is Rapping Again
Plus: New songs by Girls Aloud and Kate Nash!
1. Outkast, "Da Art of Storytellin' Pt. 4"
This new track finds André 3000 turning in one of his best raps in years. Yeah, you read that right: André 3000 is actually rapping on this song! [Nah Right]
2. Deerhunter, "Calvary Scars"
America's freakiest indie-rock band recently debuted this slow, creepy new tune at the Daytrotter studio. Unsurprisingly, Pitchfork loves it and wants to have, like, 9.3 of its babies. [Daytrotter]
3. Kate Nash, "Foundations"
British people keep insisting that Kate Nash is a "chav," and we don't really know what that means. We're guessing that it translates roughly to "sounds a lot like Lily Allen." [Hate Something Beautiful]
4. Girls Aloud, "Sexy...No No No"
We get the dismal, narcoleptic strip-club pop of the Pussycat Dolls, and British people get absurd, super-charged dance-rock hits like this one from Girls Aloud. It's just not fair! [8/1]
5. Wire, "No Warning Given"
This cut from Wire's latest EP proves that the British art-punk legends ought to run a seminar at the Learning Annex on how to age gracefully in rock and roll. [Audiversity] —Matthew Perpetua

HE Ali Majed Al Mansoori, TDIC's chairman, said: "Saadiyat Lagoons District is set to be a vibrant destination for both residents and visitors, which offers a unique lifestyle experience along with proximity to the island's other districts and their rich leisure, education and cultural offerings.
"We are confident that this development will raise interest in Saadiyat even further while strengthening its position as a leading destination across all sectors."
The Saadiyat Lagoons District will be developed in phases with the first phase including 820 townhouses set in a gated community.
Walking and cycling paths will be located throughout the district and horse-riding trails will be set alongside the area's mangrove lagoons.
Future plans include gardens and parks, as well as open spaces and a central lagoon
The district will also include two lifestyle and retail destinations: a town centre, which overlooks a central lagoon and linear park, and a waterfront village, located close to the water's edge and accessible by various paths.

Greenwater, Wash. (Aug. 23, 2011) – Puget Sound Energy is working to better serve customers in Crystal Mountain and Greenwater areas by upgrading its Greenwater substation; this requires PSE to shut off power twice on Tuesday, Aug. 30 at approximately 8 a.m. and again in the evening after crews complete the necessary work. Each outage is expected to last less than 10 minutes .
PSE is sending letters and calling the approximately 390 affected customers who will be without electric service while PSE takes the substation at 17525 Mountainside Dr. E offline. It's necessary to take the substation offline to allow crews to safely complete necessary work at the site.
The substation upgrade is part of a multi-year effort to upgrade PSE's electric transmission system in the Greenwater and Crystal Mountain areas. The substation upgrades will provide residents and businesses in Crystal Mountain and Greenwater with increased electric capacity; currently, the substation is operating above its design capacity during periods of peak load. The upgrades will double the capacity of the current substation. Additionally, the upgrades are the foundation for future electric system improvements that will increase electric reliability in the area.
The substation upgrade is expected to be completed in late October 2011. The completion will require a similar set of outages that customers will be notified of in advance.
Customers with questions or concerns are encouraged to contact PSE at 1-888-225-5773.
Washington state's oldest local energy utility, Puget Sound Energy serves more than 1 million electric customers and 750,000 natural gas customers in 11 counties. A subsidiary of Puget Energy, PSE meets the energy needs of its customer base through incremental, cost-effective energy efficiency, procurement of sustainable energy resources, and far-sighted investment in the energy-delivery infrastructure. PSE employees are dedicated to providing great customer service and delivering energy that is safe, reliable, reasonably priced, and environmentally responsible For more information, visit www.PSE.com.

Volume 81, Number 7| July 14 - 20, 2011
West and East Village, Chelsea, Soho, Noho, Little Italy, Chinatown and Lower East Side, Since 1933
After Deutsche case
With the conclusion of the Deutsche Bank trial last week, in which all three individual defendants were found not guilty, there is a movement to reopen the case, so that another tragedy, like the one that took the lives of Greenwich Village Firefighters Joseph Graffagnino Jr. and Robert Beddia in 2007, will never happen again.
Last summer the New York State Legislature passed a bill, sponsored by state Senator Daniel Squadron and supported by Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, that established a task force to address the problems that may have led to the incident. When the fire broke out, firefighters did not have architectural plans for the building and essentially went into the blaze blind. Once inside, they confronted a nightmarish labyrinth of sealed plywood hatches and thick plastic sheeting.
In Squadron's words, "In any privately owned or city-owned building, firefighters and first responders can be sure that if the rules were followed, everything will be consistent. In state- and public-authority owned buildings, they can't be sure of that."
In the last week, two separate groups have issued statements asking for the entire case to be reopened. Both groups cite former District Attorney Robert Morgenthau's acknowledgement that a consultant hired by the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation, which owned the Deutsche Bank building, warned the agency that the building was an accident waiting to happen. Furthermore, Morgenthau cited seven fires that occurred in the building from the time demolition began up to the fatal fire on August 18, 2007. The L.M.D.C. failed to report any of the fires to the appropriate agencies outlined in its own emergency action plan.
Whether or not this information and the reopening of the case would lead to a conviction is not the point. Indeed, the conviction of any defendant, whether a single person or an entire agency, will not undo the tragedy that befell Graffagnino and Beddia on that day.
The ultimate goal is to make sure such a tragedy never happens again. That is the charge of the task force established last summer. There is plenty of work to do, since there were serious missteps in this case by a number of key players, including the Fire Department, the Department of Buildings and the L.M.D.C.
March 2012 is the deadline for the task force to submit its findings and recommendations in Albany. We hope they do their due diligence and come up with a policy that will keep all New York City firefighters and first responders safe. Perhaps that means an intense vetting of all contractors charged with the demolition of city buildings. Or perhaps it means simply making every building in the city, regardless of who owns it, subject to the city's fire code.
But amidst the rapid development currently taking place in Lower Manhattan, we hope the task force presents its recommendations early, before the deadline. The next legislative session begins in January and we feel strongly that this is an item that should be placed at the top of the agenda.
Governor Cuomo is in the unique position of having served as the state's attorney general when the tragedy happened and is more than familiar with the case. We strongly encourage him to come to the fore on this issue and use his political weight and wisdom to fast-track the outcome.

Keira Knightley thinks the men on the big screen have become rather small.

By Mark D. Anderson, Esq., Co-Chief Executive Officer & Principal
Dueling partisan messages became a surprising theme at the National Governors Association (NGA) Winter Meeting, held February 21-24 in Washington, D.C. Governors traditionally use the politically-neutral NGA events to produce press opportunities and swap governance tips with their counterparts from around the nation. The partisan tack become noticeable shortly after NGA Chair, Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin (R), unveiled her initiative, America Works: Education and Training for Tomorrow's Jobs. Republicans seized on the subject matter opportunity to steer the discussion toward traditional GOP concerns about the economic effects of over-regulation. Federal government "meddling" in issues like healthcare, transportation, and education was a popular Republican refrain.
The Economic Development and Commerce Committee's meeting was lively, but still featured a productive dialogue between committee members and invited guests including former Secretary of the U.S. Department of Transportation Mary Peters, former Under Secretary of Policy for the U.S. Department of Transportation Roy Kienitz and Jim Tymon, Director of Program Finance and Management for the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials.
The panel disputed a number of issues, but members agreed that Congress would likely extend MAP-21 funding, a major federal transportation initiative, only beyond the mid-term elections. Panel members encouraged Governors to push Congress for a long term transportation funding plan to ease state uncertainties about investing in infrastructure. Mr. Kienitz suggested that a standalone transportation bill with a funding mechanism is not likely to pass, but that a larger bill with tax reform and funding might make it to President Obama's desk.
Governors discussed innovation in early childhood education at the Education and Workforce Committee meeting. The speakers included Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, Maryland Superintendent of Schools Lillian Lowery and Alabama Commissioner of the Department of Children's Affairs Jeana Ross. The two educators gave presentations on two different approaches, arguably driven by ideology, to early childhood education. Partisan tensions heightened the education dialogue when Vice Chair Nevada Governor Sandoval (R) and Secretary Duncan sparred over the administration's method of distributing early education funding.
Partisan divides and even the occasional heated argument are not unusual at NGA meetings. The subtle jabs at the Administration and boasting about individual state accomplishments, however, took on an unusually confrontational flavor when likely Presidential contender, Louisiana Governor Jindal (R) took the microphone outside the West Wing. Governor Jindal criticized President Obama's stance on the minimum wage issue during a press conference immediately following a bi-partisan meeting between the Governors and the President. Connecticut Governor Malloy (D) quickly criticized Governor Jindal's opportunistic use of the situation stating, "Here's a guy [Jindal] who didn't come to any of the meetings except this one today, and has the nerve to pull that stuff on everyone, ten feet from the West Wing."
The NGA, as always, is tackling substantive issues critical to the success of state governments. That overarching political pressures brought out the partisanship at its Winter Meeting this year is good reminder that the organization is, at times, beholden to the politics – and ambitions – of its membership.

I came across this great new site and I had to share it with you all. The site is http://takeoutwithout.com/ and focuses on a topic which is important to a lot of the readers of this blog. Being sure to reduce waste and always use reusable containers as much as possible is crucial for protecting our planet!
The focus on the site is to encourage everyone to evaluate packaging of food items. For example, if you go out to eat, are you going to likely have some leftovers? If so plan ahead and bring your own container with you to transport the food home. Or are you eating food on the road? Maybe you carry a metal or bamboo utensil set. When you go to grab napkins when you are out, do you consider how many napkins you will actually need or do you just grab a handful? Have you considered travelling with cloth napkins for you and your family? They take up very little room and eliminate the waste of the paper napkin. Are you someone that always orders a bottle of water with lunch? ELiminate the waste of the bottle and bring your own refillable container. Not only will you eliminate your BPA exposure from a plastic bottle, you will save money and reduce waste.
One great idea is to keep a spare set of reusable containers, utensils and cloth napkins in your car. This will you will have them at all times, including that time when you don't think you are stopping for a bite to eat but then hunger kicks in!
From their main page you can join the campaign through Facebook, Twitter and Flickr. They will also be posting participating restaurants on their site where you may get special offers! http://takeoutwithout.com/
Great work TakeOutWithOut!

What to CookPassover
Matzo Brei That's Not Like Your Bubbie's (But It's a Good Thing)
When it's Passover, and you are sick of dry matzo and dense cakes, a good matzo brei can be your answer to warm fluffiness.
But matzo brei, too, can be dense and dry if you follow the standard formula that most people do. It usually begins with soaking matzo in water; draining; folding with eggs; seasoning; and frying until you get crispy edges and dry middles.
I wanted to get a little creative and achieve a better texture. For starters, I chose to soak the matzo in milk instead of water for a creamier texture. (If you want to keep it parve, use almond milk and a dairy-free sour cream.)
And I wanted to add more flavor and make them a little airier than in the typical recipe, so I decided to fold whipped egg whites into the batter prior to cooking. This made the matzo pancakes rise the second they hit the hot oil. I also sprinkled in some almond flour to give the batter some structure once after the little cakes rose.
The combination of those two ingredients—egg whites and almond flour—gave me a lighter textured matzo brei than I've ever had before, almost doughnut-like.
Now for the flavor. Orange blossom water brings a floral component and pairs well with brown sugar. Yet after I tried this recipe several different ways, I still thought it was missing something and I couldn't put my finger on it.
Then Zachary Engel, our chef de cuisine at Shaya recommended we add a dash of pomegranate molasses to add a depth to the flavors. It set the whole thing over the edge and really made this recipe one of my favorites.
Try it once and you'll be begging your bubbie to change her ways.
- 5 pieces matzo, preferably Manischewitz brand
- 2 cups milk
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- Zest of 1/4 orange
- Zest of 1/4 lemon
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1/8 cup matzo meal
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 teaspoon orange blossom water
- 3/4 teaspoon pomegranate molasses
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 cup whipped egg whites at stiff peaks (from about 3 eggs)
- Canola oil, as needed
How do you make matzo brei? And do you eat it for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or all three? Tell us in the comments!

David King likes what he sees in the wall-length mirror of the rehearsal space at Backstage Studios.
Twenty dancers burn their way through the title song of "Dancing Queen," proving the British producer has not made a shallow promise to deliver "a huge amount of energy" in a "bigger, glitzier, sexier" version than the dance revue's first incarnation on the Strip.
"This is fine," he says of the rehearsal. But it's the Showroom at Planet Hollywood Resort "that I worry about." He says of the show's ultimate home, where it opens Friday, "All I've got to do is fill it."
Some shows follow a stranger path than others, and "Dancing Queen" finds itself going from a 300-seat cabaret at New York-New York to the 900-seat capacity (after closing the balcony) theater left vacant by the closing of "Peepshow" on Labor Day weekend.
King would have been happy to stay, but "they pulled the bloody building down," he jokes of the Strip-front facade of New York-New York giving way to a new retail corridor. "Despite being the second showroom, we did all right.
"One thing I have learned is don't go into a casino where you're second-favorite, because you will remain second-favorite," he adds, referring to Cirque du Soleil's "Zumanity," which he calls "the heart and soul of that casino. Whatever else we were doing really was like snapping at their heels."
Now King will see if an enlarged version of the show will step up to the expectations of Planet Hollywood "and the fact that for now, for the time being, we're the No. 1 show in that room." (Meat Loaf is coming later this month, but that one is a limited engagement. Both King and that show's producer, Adam Steck, reserve the right to call their show the casino's top attraction.)
If King was happy to see his Abba and disco tribute expand according to his vision, he also points out something audiences won't see: "Not a bungee jumper in sight!"
That would be a slightly subtle way of saying "Dancing Queen" will challenge Cirque du Soleil's domination of the Strip with the more traditional revue King has produced around the world and in U.S. markets such as Branson, Mo., in particular.
"Dancing Queen" actually skews younger than his usual Branson fare, aiming for a 35-to-50 demographic.
"Nice, middle-of-the-road people," he says. "It's great music, it's disco, it's 'Have a party and have some fun.' One of the reasons I got interested in making it a bigger show and a bigger production is I don't think there's anything like this in town, that's just fun. Have a good time and get up and boogie and dance. Half the night, we're hoping the audience will be up on their feet." …
Bob Anderson doesn't mind being a blast from the past.
"I'm stuck in a time warp and I really don't want to leave it," the singing impressionist says.
And so it makes sense that Anderson will perform Saturday and Sunday at the Italian-American Club, 2333 E. Sahara Ave. The recently spruced-up club is the rare venue that's still around, looking much as it did when Anderson sang on the top floor of The Dunes in the 1970s.
"It's a place for me to catch up with everybody, and I do something they can't see anywhere else," he says of his impressions of classic crooners performed with Vincent Falcone's quintet.
Anderson has a project in development related to one of his best voices, a true Las Vegas icon, and the concept is so tantalizing and crazy-sounding that it tests my vows of "off the record" confidentiality. For this weekend though, he has sworn me to just the facts of a $25 ticket for shows at 8 p.m. Saturday and 3 p.m. Sunday, available at the door or through his bobanderson.com website. …
It's a tough way to get back at a reviewer. But the same weekend I praised the resiliency of magicians Steven and Cassandra Best, while finding little else to admire about their "Superstars of Magic" show, they closed it at the Plaza. …
Today, on the other hand, marks the 11th anniversary of "V — The Ultimate Variety Show" in the V Theater at the Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood Resort. Producer and theater operator David Saxe has shown you don't need a Cirque budget to showcase variety performers with a knack for working a crowd. …
"One Night for One Drop," Cirque du Soleil's unique-content fundraiser for water advocacy and clean-water issues around the globe, will return for a second year March 21. The debut performance used Cirque cast members from all over town, thus closing the regular Cirque titles for that night, and put the Bellagio's "O" pool stage to a rare new use.
This year's edition is on the Mandalay Bay stage of "Michael Jackson One." Nothing unusual about that stage, you say? I'm told to look outdoors and imagine the possibilities for the post-show party at the hotel's wave beach.

Cyberia Group gains clear traffic visibility with Genie Networks' GenieATM
Genie Networks is pleased to announce that Cyberia Group has chosen GenieATM to ensure enhanced traffic visibility and advanced anomaly detection.
Cyberia Group is a leading internet and security provider based in Saudi Arabia. It offers multinational solutions and leveraged competencies with over 1000 regional customers. Cyberia takes pride in its professional, dynamic management team that explicitly strives to fulfill every customer's network solution needs. Cyberia is a subsidiary of Oger Telecom, a leading fixed and mobile operator in Turkey, South Africa, the Middle East and other emerging markets.
Cyberia Group's network contains multi Giga Internet links of different router brands and models. By leveraging the network flow technique, GenieATM coordinates all the different types of routers' raw data to gain a macroscopic view of the traffic status within Cyberia's network. Admins need only to define the required network boundaries, and GenieATM will automatically produce traffic reports based on the defined areas. Admins can also add customized reports to query a specific monitored object or time period. Using GenieATM's rule-based traffic analysis mechanism offers the highest amount of customization.
Furthermore, GenieATM's anomaly detection capabilities have empowered Cyberia to identify some prevalent DDoS attacks and traffic anomalies. Common DDoS attacks such as flooding attacks, fragmentation attacks, and reflection attacks can be detected. Once GenieATM detects an attack, notification will be sent out, enabling Admins to effectively mitigate or black hole the anomaly traffic, thus ensuring the connection quality of normal network traffic.

It's easy to think that an ugly man with a pretty or hot woman is probably with her because he may be fully loaded and probably throwing a lot of her cash her way.
That could be true. But there are other reasons why women date men other people think are ugly.
1. Women like to feel good
Women tend to like men who make them FEEL good. Looks are important but what comes after also matter to a lot of women. So if she feels good around a man, she may give him a chance.
2. An ugly guy's personality can far outweigh his looks
Many guys who fail to make it to the class of good looks usually compliment their limited looks with a great attitude. A lot of times you realize these guys are insanely cool and their personality covers up any flaws in the looks department.
3. If he has his act together, looks won't matter
If he works hard, focuses on developing himself and works at being the best version of himself, observant women will most likely find him attractive and won't mind being with him.
4. Ugly guys treat women better
He has probably heard all his life that he is not good looking. Therefore when he finds a woman, he invests a lot into making her feel special so that she does not leave him.
5. Some women have low self esteem
Because some women only see their flaws, they do not believe that a good looking man will want to be with them and will probably settle for something less.
So don't be too quick to judge when you see two people you feel are not a match when it comes to their looks. They might just have something the good looking ones don't.

When you finally proceed through with trying to find and buying the first place you should proceed through many processes you've never dealt with before. First, you're going to need to find somebody who will finance your loan, as soon as this is accomplished you may then are looking for your house you need to buy and make certain that it's structurally sound and cost-effective.
In America, rent control laws were first introduced during World Wars I and II as a a reaction to shortages and economic pressure. Today these are either leftover laws readily available periods of time or are already reintroduced with a state based on need. The most important indicate remember is that rent control laws can vary widely from state to state, and from county to county. Even cities inside same county might have different laws as a result of various demands in markets and local demographics. So, you need to conduct an inquiry for the specifics of your city's control laws. This article provides basic web sites residential rent control.
A reason you might not need to buy is that if you should build or improve your credit. When this happens, it is just a wise decision to wait and repair your credit and pay down a few of the debt. When you do this, you will end up happier financially and upping your credit standing provides you with a better chance to secure a good interest when selecting your first home.
You should absolutely schedule a rental walk-in using your apartment manager. This is your time for it to make sure there's not any defects in your apartment home. You will want to document and discuss all of the issues, defects, and imperfections with your apartment home. You don't want have to pay of those repairs later. When in question you should take photos too. Chances are when you have a mobile phone you will find a camera too. If you're bringing furniture along with you be certain and have a tape-measure so you can look at the various widths from the door frames.
Seaside is essentially a quiet region in Oregon and also the condos and villas can be found in peaceful neighborhoods too. Of course it really is more fun to stay in the houses which are situated for the beach. However, the people not situated on the beachfront are also extremely good to stay since they are a couple of blocks away form the seaside. Actually, the place of the rented house is determined by your financial budget. If you pay more you'll be able to remain at the rented houses on the beachfront. The facilities provided also depend for the budget. Depending around the budget you will get decks with astonishing views, televisions, barbecue space, balconies, swimming pool and spas. However, kitchenettes in every forms of rentals are very well equipped for your ease of your guests.

Understanding anorexia
Anorexia is often misunderstood and the drive to protect this 'state', by the sufferer, often causes confusion and disbelief in others. It's a destructive, devastating and addictive process that only those who have experienced it can fully appreciate. Whatever the trigger it is a complex illness but one that you can recover from.
The negative mindset associated with all eating disorders can be disturbing and in anorexia you can find yourself with beliefs that would literally starve you to death. Logical thoughts and concentration suffer as the weight is lost and the body goes through all manner of imbalances and reactions to the stress of starvation.
You don't necessarily lose your appetite, you can 'feel' starving but these feelings become the norm, like living with a pain that's been present for year's. In periods of starvation (also extreme crash dieting and bulimia) endorphins are released to relieve pain and this in itself can become addictive. Clients often tell me they feel fit and have great energy, when in fact the body is being eaten away. This is a useful device if you need to find strength to search for food during famine but all feelings of wellbeing and energy disappearas the illness takes it toll on both body and brain.
So these endorphins are similar to opiates and like heroin 'have a profound effect on the mind and body. Emotional numbness acts like pain relief, creating a zombie like state and adhedonia, the inability to enjoy the pleasures of life. Memory loss of crucial moments of the day can be very upsetting, as can lack of empathy and a general detachment from the real world. Isolation like this is necessary for the illness to maintain its hold and this is why I encourage socialization as aprt of recovery.
If you have no experience of anorexia yourself you may have experienced the release of endorphins on exertion, for example in periods of exercise. Marathon runners experience rushes of endorphins to relieve pain and allow them to take the body where it would not willingly go. Starvation, in anorexia, does this too. It's used as a survival mechanism to help us through extreme events, like starvation, its stops us giving up.
The most disturbing part of this process, for me, is the brain becoming physically addicted to the dream like state it creates, numbness and detachment from reality, 'safety'. It can feel so very safe but of course it isn't. In the world of anorexia you can feel cushioned but only with continued starvation, the weight is never low enough, and the possibility of death and complications gets ever closer as weight plummets. It's Russian roulette!!
In recovery there is a loss of endorphin release. Real feelings begin to return and with it the regaining of normal mental and physical experiences. Although this can be a difficult time and leads to relapse in some, many find support and move past this step to recovery. There is hope and any step to recover is worthwhile, take a leap of faith!

RyuRyu actually has a paid fashion magazine and a paid house decor magazine which are both kind of just like order catalogs and you can buy them thru any bookstore and convenience store. At the same time they also have this free magazine-like catalog featuring both fashion and house decor goods! As you understood from my post about Voi, I consider getting a free fashion/decor magazine-like-catalog over a paid catalog-like-magazine a great bargain!
RyuRyu seems to have clothes sizes up to 3L, prices are reasonable-average, but the brands are not written. I've never ordered from them so I can't say anything about quality.
|Here an example of the featured "adult kawaii" fashion. It shows the currently popular trends among Japanese women.
|The free magazine has lots of different casual and semi-casual Japanese fashion
|Typical Japanese youth fashion. Big focus on looking cutesy A.K.A KAWAII.
|Japanese fashion: bags and boots are featured in the free Japanese magazine.
|Also Japanese furniture and Japanese decor are featured in the free Japanese magazine RyuRyu!

On April 1 and April 2, 2009, the Center on Media, Crime and Justice and McCormick Foundation hosted a specialized reporting institute, "How Do they get Away With it? Tracking Financial Crime in the New Era."
Twenty-One fellows from around the country joined panelists and speakers such as: Patrick Carroll, Supervisory Special Agent, FBI, New York Office, Sam Antar, Former CFO, Fast Eddie's, Peter Turecek, Senior Managing Director, Business Intelligence & Investigations, Kroll and Walter Ricciardi, Former SEC Deputy Chief, Division of Enforcement.

Before the sub-prime crisis captured national attention, a reporter for The Charlotte Observer noticed a strange pattern while compiling a list of foreclosed homes in North Carolina's Mecklenburg County — clusters were concentrated in new developments and they wondered if faulty loans were behind the trend.
The year-long investigation led to The Charlotte Observer's four-part series, " Sold a Nightmare." Lawmakers in North Carolina passed new mortgage regulations in response to the series and federal and criminal investigations of Beazer are underway.

More Reporting Resources (generously submitted by panelist Elaine Carey, Senior VP of Control Risks)
The lobbyist database from the Center for Responsive Politics (OpenSecrets) is great and easy to use. It links directly to pdf filings and lets you see if someone is a registered lobbyist, who they are registered with, and who they lobby. You can also see how much they make from each client.
The Environmental Working Group's farm subsidy database is a great way of calling out politicians who complain about "government handouts" and then take tons of money in farm subsidies for their ranches and farms.
People frequently don't think about state donations, but they can be incredibly important when looking to see if someone is buy influence at the state level. The National Institute on Money in State Politics is a great way to start when looking to see if someone is giving a ton at this level. You should always check out the state's own website too, as they sometimes have more complete information.
The Federal Register lets you see copies of notices and actions published by federal agencies – helpful when looking to see if someone has been sanctioned, for instance.
FedSpending.org lets you see what groups have received federal grants and contracts.
The EPA has a good website that lets you check to see if a company/facility is EPA compliant or if there have been any enforcement actions taken against it.
WikiFOIA is a website that compiles information about open records availability en each state. It can help you find out what information is available and links to a "letter generator" for each state that conforms to that state's open records laws.
The Center for Public Integrity compiles financial disclosure statements for state legislators. This is a good way to see who they've worked for, where they hold directorships, what they hold stock in, etc. It also has a rundown of various disclosure requirements for different states.
