On Your Primal Nature, renowned medical intuitive Caroline Myss explores the natural energy of the earth, its awesome potential for transforming our lives, and our instinctual need to connect with it.
Myss brings us face-to-face with our spiritual roots in the pagan past, and explores why our spirits long for the wild, sensual energy that only nature can provide. Without the cooperation of nature and its energy, she says, we can never integrate our instincts with our higher spiritual functions, such as intuition.
Recorded deep in the Amazon rain forest, and including a guided visualization for connecting with the energy of the earth, Your Primal Nature is a welcome guide for harmonizing our spiritual lives with the phenomenal forces of the natural world.

- Loved it Review by robin
I greatly appreciated this exploration of groundedness and grounding. As she spoke, I realized she was pinpointing an important aspect of some recent challenges, and I benefited from her recommendations.
(Posted on 7/13/2018)
- Fascinating and magical Review by allen
This work really put into perspective what grounding means to me. I never knew it was quite the magical experience. This program is a must.

- Review for Your Primal Nature Review by Elaine W
Listening to Caroline Myss has helped me immensely, I've been through alot and her work has really helped me stay grounded and centered.
(Posted on 7/2/2014)
- Review for Your Primal Nature Review by Richelle M
This beautiful, but all too brief program speaks to a part of spirituality that gets broadly overlooked in most traditions in the West. This is the path of descent, embodiment, the feminine—whatever you want to call it.
Caroline Myss's treatment is powerful and evocative and I found myself listening to it over and over again. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to ground their realization or practice.
But, I want MORE. There's far too little direction in this area.
(Posted on 5/3/2014)
- Review for Your Primal Nature Review by Suzanne I
I'm always so grateful for any work of Caroline's I can get my hands on. This is one I had missed. Caroline speaks openly and intelligently about grounding ourselves in the rich experience of our primal nature that knows what this journey of transformation is all about.
(Posted on 5/1/2014)
- Review for Your Primal Nature Review by Lee S
I love Carolyn's work and this is one is great also. I would suggest that the primal meditation, which I also purchased, not be sold separately since the meditation is included in this work. I suppose I should have figured that, I just thought they would compliment each other, not be duplicates.
I LOVE your company and the offerings you have.
Thank you. Blessings

- Review for Your Primal Nature Review by Margarida Cardoso
it was quite disappointing; I am a big fan of Caroline Myss but I was taken aback by this work - was it a small collection of some pieces taken together for making a product? and the drumming with the invasive voice of Carolyne, what was that? What was the point? if it was to induce some sort of meditative state, why wouldn't she just shut up? I could not even finish the hearing.
(Posted on 7/6/2013)
- Review for Your Primal Nature Review by Leslie A
I'm a fan of Caroline Myss; have many of her audio programs, and her books. This audio program is good, however I am disappointed with one feature. The drumming at the beginning is awesome (with her narrative). There is also a drumming meditation at the end - approximately 15-20min (longer than the intro). It's very well-done, but in between these 2 segments, is a very long narrative about sacred places. I would think it'd be much easier for a listener to have the drumming meditation at the beginning. The way it's set up now, you have to fast forward through the hour-long talk re: sacred places, every time you want to go to the meditation.

- Review for Your Primal Nature Review by Thomas
I cannot in words describe the power I felt from the teachings you offered through "Your Primal Nature" as it has spoken to me so deeply. You hit the nail on the head, and you know it, girl. Thank you for this invaluable contribution, and to the spirits that bequeathed this wisdom through you. I recommend this book to anyone on their path of any origin, and progress, to take a moment to get to know "Your Primal Nature", it's worth it. I'd give it a 10 if I could.
(Posted on 9/19/2012)
- Review for Your Primal Nature Review by wendy lambert
For the first time I was disappointed in Caroline's usually outstanding work and was left wanting more. There is an error in the recording as well. I would have to go back and listen in order to pinpoint it exactly, but it leaves the listener hanging as Caroline asks an intriguing question with the promise of an answer that never appears.
(Posted on 6/5/2012)
- Review for Your Primal Nature Review by John Mason
I'd never really thought about sacred places before. This teaching really opened up a new idea for me.

911 calls released in Echo Lake Foods fire
911 calls released in Echo Lake Foods fire
BURLINGTON, Wis. —
Newly released 911 calls revealed a frantic scene inside the Burlington Food Plant fire that devastated Echo Lake Foods in January.
The calls reveal employees keeping each other safe from the flames of the 8-alarm fire.
The fire began in a processing room before spreading.
"I need a fire truck to Echo Lake Foods in Wisconsin, ASAP. I've got a fire around back," one caller said.
A supervisor can be heard on one of the calls helping other employees get to safety.
"We got all the maintenance guys here? Grab everybody and go to the front of the building," the supervisor is heard saying on one emergency call.
The fire caused about $40 million in damage.
Company officials plan to rebuild on the site.

That happiness which arises when the desired sense object comes in contact with the sense organs is indeed a thrill that is nectarine in the beginning. But, unfortunately, it vanishes as quickly as it comes, dumping the enjoyer into a pit of exhaustion and indeed into a sense of dissipation.
To explain: sense enjoyments arise only when the sense organs are actually in contact with the sense objects. This contact cannot be permanently established, for both the objects and the instruments that come in contact with the objects – the mind and intellect – are variable and changing. Also, the sense organs cannot enjoy the sense objects all the times with the same appetite, and even if they do so, the very object in the embrace of the sense organs withers and putrefies.
No individual can fully enjoy even the passing glitter of joy that the sense organs give, for even at the moment of enjoyment the 'joy-possibility' in it gets unfortunately tainted by an anxiety that it may leave him.
Hence, to a true thinker the temporary joys of sense are not at all satisfactory, since they only bury him in a tomb of sorrow. (Chapter 18 Verse 38)

Mother and daughter walk down this aisle together
Each graduation is an epic, bursting with stories of human aspiration, frustration, perseverance and sweat. Here are two, intertwined.
Dawn Rasmussen and her daughter Courtney Stewart shared the Anne Arundel Community College stage on May 24. At 19 and just two years out of high school, Courtney had the easier journey to commencement, with her mother and grandmother pushing and cheering her all the way.
At 45, Dawn, a single mother of three, walked a harder road. She earned her Associates Degree over six years of living on four or five hours of sleep, always loaded with books in hopes of squeezing in five minutes of reading.
All those years, a goal motivated her.
In 2006, she had just escaped an abusive relationship. Working as a secretary for Anne Arundel County to support three kids, then 13, 10 and one, she realized she'd have to do still more. Without a degree, she wouldn't be able to move up. So she resolved to get her degree — no matter what.
Day school was out of the question; Even night school was out of budget with three kids and babysitters charging $15 an hour and up. So Rasmussen took most of her classes online, attending via computer between 10pm to 2am.
Over the years, routine replaced apprehension. "You just get used to going to school," Rasmussen said. That and her goal kept her going.
When Stewart followed her mother to Anne Arundel Community College, they sometimes took the same classes to save on books.
Studying together added support and a bit of levity. Mother and daughter got together for a standing weekly night of study, jokes and gossip. The sessions were scheduled to end with a weekly reward: watching Jersey Shore.
"We both understand the pressure the other is under with classes and graduating," Stewart said. "And we have the opportunity to help each other out."
Mother and daughter continue their partnership this fall at the University of Maryland. Stewart will study criminal justice, Rasmussen legal studies. As a paralegal, she plans to advocate for victims of domestic violence.
"I wanted to accomplish what I started and to know I could do it," Rasmussen said. She has, with honors, as both mother and daughter graduate as members of the honor society.

Long lasting and all natural, from the Sacred Herbs of Sage, Cedar, Copal, and Pine, to the gentle relaxing scents of Rose and Cactus Blossom, our New World Fragrances combine the traditional scents from many Native American Peoples with the ease of large easy-to-light cones.
2" natural jumbo incense cones, 10 per package.
Many people find cones to be their preference as a way to burn incense. The cones are wood base (natural). 1" cones burn approx 12 to 18 minutes while the 2" cones will burn 25 to 35 minutes. However most people prefer the 1" cone over the 2" cone in that it will create the desired effect.
Directions: Light the small tip with a match or lighter, burn until the tip glows. Place on a plate or bowl with about a 1/4" of sand or salt so it will not burn what is underneath it, cones burn very hot. Also by placing them on sand or salt you will get to burn more of the cone since moisture will not be absorbed.
Astral Sea makes and packages 6 varieties of packaged incense sticks and 4 varieties of incense cones. Most of our products can be found packaged or bulk.

NC man charged with human trafficking
NC man charged with human trafficking
Police in Charlotte say a man is facing a number of charges after he forced a young woman into prostitution.
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police said 30-year-old Tony Drum is in the county jail on charges ranging from human trafficking to facilitating a minor's prostitution.
A statement from police say Drum met a woman under the age of 18 in an online chat room. In August, Drum drove to South Carolina, picked up the victim and brought her back to Charlotte and forced her into prostitution.
An officer discovered the victim while she was walking alone on a local street and found she was listed as a missing person.
Detectives took out warrants on Drum, who was arrested on Tuesday. When he was apprehended, a second victim was found inside his car.

The price of oil rose above $94 per barrel Thursday following news of a big drop in U.S. oil supplies.
However, analysts doubted that the latest move higher was the start of something dramatic.
By early afternoon in Europe, benchmark oil for July delivery was up 49 cents to $94.23 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract rose 43 cents to close at $93.74 a barrel the day before.
Already posting gains thanks to falling U.S. crude stockpiles, oil prices also received support from the latest government unemployment update. The Labor Department said Thursday that the number of Americans seeking unemployment benefits fell 11,000 last week to a seasonally adjusted 346,000, a level consistent with steady job growth. The claims figures come a day ahead of the monthly payrolls report, which often sets the tone across financial markets for a week or two after its release.
On Wednesday, the Energy Department said U.S. crude oil inventories shrank by 6.3 million barrels in the week ending May 31, thanks to a sharp drop in imports. Analysts expected a drop of 1 million barrels. Separately, the American Petroleum Institute said stockpiles shrank by 464,000 to 387.3 million barrels. Tighter supplies tend to push oil prices higher.
"For the first time since January 1997, the U.S. produced more crude oil than it imported last week," said analysts at Commerzbank in Frankfurt. "In view of the comfortable supply situation and growing U.S. oil production, supply shortages on the global oil market are not likely."
Oil prices were expected to stay within a tight range for now, as supplies are ample and demand remains restrained by a tepid global economic recovery.
"The market has been stuck in neutral for some time and it's hard to see how any analyst can be as so bold to see a major move on the chart forming in the near term," said Carl Larry of Oil Outlooks and Opinions in a market commentary.
Brent crude, a benchmark for many international oil varieties, was up 18 cents to $103.22 a barrel on the ICE Futures exchange in London.
In other energy futures trading on the Nymex:
— Wholesale gasoline rose 0.29 cent to $2.8259 a gallon.
— Heating oil added 0.06 cent to $2.856 per gallon.
— Natural gas was down 3.3 cents to $3.968 per 1,000 cubic feet.

After getting grounded by a run amuk volcano, Team Yoshimura Suzuki is set to race in WSBK at the upcoming round in Monza, Italy. The team was originally set to race at Assen this past weekend, but having to fly from Japan, that possibility was dashed as flights were cancelled in and out of Europe.
Now as flights are once again moving, the team has merely shifted its wildcard racing plans, and set its sights on the Italian circuit. At Monza the team will used a modified version of its 2010 Suzuki GSX-R1000, which just won the Suzuki 8 Hours endurance race. At the helm of the Yoshimura Suzuki will be team rider Yukio Kagayama.

General Comments: Futures were slightly lower in low volume trading. Brazil weather has improved, and some areas of Sao Paulo could see a shower by the end of the week, which would be beneficial. Weather in other areas like Central America, where it has been dry, also provided some support. Trends have turned sideways after the recent run to higher values. Prices in general have been weak as traders anticipate another big crop out of Brazil starting the summer, and CONAB showed a big production potential in its latest production report released yesterday. Current crop development is still good this year in Brazil, but it has been dry for the past week. Dry conditions are forecast to continue in most areas, but some parts of Sao Paulo could get showers. Central America crops are mostly harvested and is too dry for good new crop flowering, although rains are in the forecast for this week. Colombia is reported to have good conditions.
Overnight News: Certified stocks are lower today and are about 2.741 million bags. In Brazil, CONAB estimated 2013-14 Coffee production at 48.6 million bags. The country is expected to produce 36.4 million bags of Arabica and 12,2 million bags of Robusta. The ICO composite price is now 131.98 ct/lb. Brazil should get mostly dry conditions. Temperatures will average near to above normal. Colombia should get scattered showers, and Central America and Mexico should get showers aned rains. Temperatures should average near to above normal.
Chart Trends: Trends in New York are mixed. Support is at 143.00, 140.00, and 136.00 July, and resistance is at 149.00, 150.00, and 152.00 July. Trends in London are mixed to up with objectives of 2090, 2150, and 2215 July. Support is at 2020, 1980, and 1970 July, and resistance is at 2075, 2100, and 2140 July. Trends in Sao Paulo are mixed. Support is at 171.50, 170.00, and 167.50 September, and resistance is at 180.00, 182.00, and 183.00 September.
General Comments: Futures were higher after trading lower early in the session. Traders concentrated on economic news, which was disappointing for China but good for the US. China is the largest importer of US Cotton, so less than expected industrial production put demand bulls on the defensive. The new crop months were weaker on forecasts for warm and dry weather in many US production areas that will promote active planting by farmers this week. Ideas are that the demand can continue for now as China moves to increase its stocks and as private buyers there reject offers from the government due to quality and price. Planting conditions for the next crop remain a problem in the US. Dry weather is forecast for the Delta and Southeast, and much warmer weather is expected in Texas this week. So far, planting of all crops is slow, but ideas are that farmers can get a lot of planting done with dry and warm conditions. Short term trends are mixed.
Overnight News: The Delta and Southeast will see dry conditions. Temperatures will average near to above normal. Texas will get mostly dry weather with some showers possible in Eastern areas. Temperatures will average mostly above normal. The USDA spot price is now 81.87 ct/lb. ICE said that certified Cotton stocks are now 0.508 million bales, from 0.504 million yesterday.
Chart Trends: Trends in Cotton are mixed. Support is at 85.40, 85.00, and 83.00 July, with resistance of 87.60, 88.50, and 90.00 July.

- carl-turner-london-slip-house-2Transparency makes a lot of things better: solar panels, micro chips, corporate finances. Houses, our private oases from busy life, are not typically something you want to be see-through. Pushing the boundaries of sustainable design, architect Carl Turner recently chose to cover his new house with semi-transparent glass instead of traditional siding. The effect is strangely seductive, as passers-by can make out hints of what might linger behind the glass.1
- carl-turner-london-slip-house-1Positioned delicately among a row of traditional Victorian houses, Turner's "Slip House" is both understated and bold.2
- carl-turner-london-slip-house-3The first thing one notices about the three-story residence is its staggered upper floors that cantilever towards the street.3
- carl-turner-london-slip-house-4"We set out with a simple sculptural form of three cantilevered, or slipped, boxes," explained Turner. "The upper box houses our living space, the middle box houses sleeping and bathing, and the ground box is given over to a multi-purpose space, currently housing our studio."4
- carl-turner-london-slip-house-5The Slip House is built in the garden of a derelict house. In addition to the front gate and lower floors, the translucent glass panels extend up to form a barrier around the rooftop terrace and a set of photovoltaic panels that generate electricity.5
- carl-turner-london-slip-house-6The house also features a wildflower roof above the ground floor, a rain-water-harvesting system and 'energy piles' which use a solar assisted ground source heat pump integrated into the pile foundations.6
- carl-turner-london-slip-house-7Turner hopes that the Slip House can serve as a design incubator, a prototype of the way brownfield development can provide solutions for dense, flexible, urban living.7
- carl-turner-london-slip-house-8Inside, the glass panels allow in lots of daylight, expanding the feel of the interior space.8

Add golf course owners to the list of Minnesotans irked by the spring that refuses to show up.
Add golf course owners to the list of Minnesotans irked by the spring that refuses to show up.
The snow, rain and sleet that has dragged well into April means money lost for golf courses that have been unable to open.
"This weather just adds more stress from here on out," Tim Holthaus, who owns River Oaks Golf Club in Cold Spring, told the St. Cloud Times.
"You can't make up the money you've lost. You only have a short window of five months to make money in golf in Minnesota. Mother Nature has already taken a month away from us. We usually try to open April 1. We can't make it up now."
Mike Stang, director of Territory Golf Club in St. Cloud, wasn't as down. He said he is hoping people who haven't been able to play will play even more once courses become playable. Weather was supposed to improve markedly by this weekend.
"If golfers can't play now, they'll want to play more in June and July," Stang said. "I think everything will average out. I know that the doomsayers will probably say that we're all hurting pretty bad right now. But when that three-month span from June to August hits, it usually works out in the end."
Stang said college and high school golf teams have been especially hurt by the poor weather -- like so many other spring athletic teams. St. Cloud State University's golf teams routinely use Territory, but haven't been able to practice on it this spring. Territory is planning to open May 1.
The latest River Oaks ever opened was April 15. This year has shattered that mark. The course opened March 21 last year.
"You just can't count on the weather in this state," said Holthaus, a lifelong Cold Spring resident.

Our Renew / Cancel Index predicts potential renewal or cancellation for scripted broadcast primetime shows for the 2010-11 season (results through January 24, 2010):
- Likely To Be Canceled By May, 2010
- Some Danger Of Being Canceled By May, 2010
- Likely to Be Renewed For The 2010-11 Season
- Renewed For The 2010-11 Season
|Renew/ Cancel Index
|Law & Order (F), (P)
|Mercy (P)
|Trauma (P)
|Parks & Recreation (P)
|Heroes (P)
|Law & Order: SVU (P)
|30 Rock (P)
|The Office (P)
1/29 Update: Parks & Recreation renewed for a third season. Community's chances have improved.
Heroes has had its ratings ups and downs this season, but lately, they've been all down. Since the new year it's had adults 18-49 ratings of 2.2, 2.1, 1.8 and 1.9 (prelim). It's going to take some really super powers to get its ratings back enough to save it from being canceled, and its only got a few episodes left this season to do it.
Chuck scored another 2.5 rating last night. I think that's just on the good side of renewal for the show. If it can keep that ratings level up, I am confident it will be back.
Since NBC's freed up 5 more hours of primetime post-Leno, some marginal shows like Parks & Recreation and Community look a lot better for renewal.
As horrible as the situation is, I've got to believe NBC will try something new other than the ratings sinkholes Trauma and Mercy. Even starving post-Leno beggars have to be a little bit choosy.
For shows in the Some Danger category only, I am including short term Index indicators for shows either with either improving or deteriorating 😳 Indexes, based on short term averages instead of season to date Indexes.
This is a breakdown of NBC scripted shows and their renewal and cancellation prospects. Here are links to the other networks:
The Renew/Cancel Index is a show's Season To Date adults 18-49 rating divided by its network's Season to Date average 18-49 rating. If a show's season to date 18-49 ratings average equalled its network's 18-49 average, the show would have an Index of 1.00. Without special factors, scripted shows that were more than 10% below their network's average are typically canceled by the end of the broadcast primetime season.
Factors that could cause a show to be renewed with a well below average Index:
- (F) -Fridays: Shows airing on Fridays have been renewed with significantly lower than average Indexes.
- (S) – Syndication: Shows nearing syndication (66-88 episodes), often have economic factors that trump ratings leading to renewal.
- (T) – Third Party: Shows that have a portion of their cost underwritten by a 3rd party can be renewed with substantially lower ratings.
- (P) – Produced by the network's production company – For shows on the bubble, being produced by the network's corporate production company can be a survival advantage. For real losers, it's unlikely to help.
What's the History of the Index and How Did It Do In the Past? Check out the results from the 2007-8 season and the 2008-9 season.

SEATTLE — A coalition of educators and community groups filed a legal challenge with the state attorney general Wednesday questioning the constitutionality of Washington's new charter schools law.
The three-page "legal demand" asks Attorney General Bob Ferguson to investigate seven constitutional issues with the law approved by voters in November.
Ferguson replied early Wednesday evening that he would follow the voters.
"We all share the desire to provide the highest quality education for our children. As the state's attorney, it's my responsibility to defend the will of the voters and I will be directing my legal team to do so in this case," Ferguson said in a statement.
The coalition — led by the Washington Education Association, the League of Women Voters and El Centro del la Raza — said if the attorney general doesn't take action, it will file a lawsuit in state courts. The group's issues range from the way the law would divert money from public schools to private nonprofit organizations, to a perceived violation of the requirement that the superintendent of public instruction should supervise everything related to public schools.
They question the way levy dollars could be converted to a new purpose without consulting voters if a regular public school is converted to a charter school, as is allowed under the new law.
The group, which includes the state's largest teachers union, doesn't like a provision of the new law that restricts collective bargaining units of charter school employees to the school in which they work.
"The Charter School Act is an unconstitutional law that impedes the state's progress toward fully funding public education and places even greater pressure on school districts to fill this gap," the coalition's letter said.
Washington became the 42nd state to OK independent public schools in November. Voters authorized the opening of up to 40 charter schools over five years.
The new law sets up a Charter School Commission to authorize groups to open charter schools and puts the State Board of Education in charge of approving applications by local school districts that also want to authorize charter schools.

In mid-September 2012, the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) announced that Arctic sea ice had reached a new record minimum — 3.41 million square kilometers (1.32 million square miles). The previous record low came in September 2007 at 4.17 million square kilometers (1.61 million square miles). The 1979–2000 average minimum ice extent was 6.70 million square kilometers (2.59 million square miles).
If you are not used to tracking the ice pack at the top of the globe, this may seem like just a string of big numbers. So NSIDC's Walt Meier offers another way to understand the shrinking ice cap.
In the 1980s, the average extent of sea ice extent in the Arctic was roughly equal to the area of the contiguous United States, minus Washington and Oregon. In September 2007, the sea ice minimum dropped so far below the 1980s average that the area shaded in blue became open water, and the white and turquoise areas would have remained ice-covered. The September 2012 minimum was lower still, such that the Dakotas, Nebraska, and Kansas were also ice free, along with all of the states to the east.

State of Union address could be 'call to action'By LESLEY CLARK and ANITA KUMAR
McClatchy Newspapers
February 09. 2013 9:40PM
WASHINGTON - A confident President Barack Obama is expected Tuesday to unveil an aggressive agenda in the first State of the Union address of his second term, calling for a rewrite of the nation's outdated immigration laws, steps to prevent gun violence and ways to bolster a still-fragile economy.
Obama starts his second term with job approval ratings among the highest since he took office. But he faces a not-yet-recovered economy, a mounting deficit, an often hostile Congress and a nation increasingly distrustful that polarized, partisan Washington can get anything done.
In many ways, the address serves as a marker for what the president hopes will form his legacy. After outlining his second-term agenda in an inaugural speech last month that infuriated Republicans for its full-throated embrace of liberalism, Obama will deliver details of what he wants to accomplish, priorities that include energy independence, education and job creation.
"A lot of people think the State of the Union is empty rhetoric, but it's full of specific requests," said Robert Lehrman, a former speechwriter for Vice President Al Gore and a communications professor at American University. "It's not only the state of the union, but the state of the Obama administration."
Tens of millions are expected to watch the 9 p.m. address, which Obama will deliver from the U.S. Capitol; in 2012, 38 million households tuned in. Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, a rising star in his party who has garnered buzz as a possible 2016 presidential contender, will deliver the Republican response - in English and in Spanish.
Rubio has been leading an immigration overhaul in the Senate, but Republicans are eager for the conservative freshman to illustrate the party's biggest point of contention with Obama: his stewardship of the economy.
This year's speech marks the 100th anniversary of the State of the Union. Though George Washington was the first President to address Congress, speeches soon were scrapped in favor of the written word. Woodrow Wilson, however, reconstituted the in-person delivery to Congress in 1913, a custom that has continued ever since.
White House officials declined to divulge details, but Obama gave a preview of his remarks to House of Representatives Democrats on Thursday, telling them he would talk about ensuring an economy that works for all.
"I'm going to be talking about making sure that we're focused on job creation," he said. "It means that we're focused on education and that every young person is equipped with the skills they need to compete in the 21st century. It means that we've got an energy agenda that can make us less dependent on foreign oil, but also that we're cultivating the kind of clean energy strategy that will maintain our leadership well into the future."
In the months since he defeated challenger Mitt Romney, Obama already has waged battle with congressional Republicans over tax increases and spending reductions. Earlier this month, he urged Congress to pass a package of modest cuts and tax changes as a way to delay what the government calls sequester cuts - drastic, across-the-board federal spending reductions that are scheduled to take effect March 1.
"We're going to talk about, yes, deficits and taxes and sequesters and potential government shutdowns and debt ceiling," Obama told House Democrats. "We'll talk about that stuff, but all from the perspective of how are we making sure that somebody who works hard in this country - a cop, or a teacher, or a construction worker, or a receptionist - that they can make it if they work hard, and that their kids can make it and dream even bigger dreams than they have achieved."
Education advocates say the speech could contain a significant early childhood education initiative.
For the nation's employers, energy, trade and regulations are chief concerns. But topping the list for most businesses, however, is what happens with negotiations to reduce the deficit through spending cuts, new taxes or some mix of both.
"What I'd like to hear on fiscal policy is a clear delineation of what and how many spending cuts are going to be coming forward, and what and how many tax increases he would like to see so we can evaluate the policy," said Martin Regalia, chief economist for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
Presidential speechwriters face enormous pressure from groups like the chamber, as well as from agencies and issue advocates eager for a presidential plug, former speechwriter Lehrman said.
"It's hard to resist these people," he said.
Former President Jimmy Carter made the fewest requests to Congress: nine. Former President Bill Clinton made the most: 87.

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. (AP) — Blood dripping from the back of an SUV led to the arrest of two Sacramento men accused of illegally shooting a deer, then stabbing it to death in their vehicle when it suddenly came to and began to struggle.
The Tahoe Daily Tribune (http://bit.ly/Uqv35O ) reports 46-year-old Scott Lee and 32-year-old Nai Saechao were arrested Nov. 18 on poaching, animal cruelty and other charges.
The El Dorado County Sheriff's Office says the California Highway Patrol received multiple calls from people reporting blood seeping out of a Toyota SUV near Shingle Springs, a small community in the Sierra foothills 40 miles east of Sacramento.
When authorities pulled over the vehicle, they found the deer carcass in the back. Officers say both men and the interior of the SUV were smeared with blood.

I love a museum. History museums, cultural museums, and especially art museums! I could spend every day on vacation visiting a museum. In the Belgium and The Netherlands, many museums are new, have new additions or have newly re-opened.
In Amsterdam, the Van Gogh Museum has a new glass-walled pavilion, but more importantly it has extended its summer hours until 10:00 p.m. on Friday and Saturday nights. During this July 2016 voyage, and this August 2016 voyage, you could avoid the crowds by going to this museum after dinner! That's one of the benefits of sailing on Azamara: the late night departures and overnight stays.
Readers of my blog may recall I once wrote about Van Gogh in Provence. I have learned a museum to this artist, the Fondation Vincent van Gogh Arles, opened in April 2014.
If you like Dutch paintings (and who doesn't?) the Mauritshuis Royal Picture Gallery in The Hague reopened in June 2014 after two years of extensive renovations. Here you'll see the grand masters of Dutch paintings from the Golden Age: Rembrandt, Rubens, Vemeer, and many more. The Hague is a less than one hour drive from Amsterdam.
The city of Antwerp has a relatively new (2013) museum called The Red Star Line Museum. This museum celebrates the passenger service line, which was a joint venture between a US company and a Belgium company. The line operated between 1871 and 1935 when it closed and its ships were sold to Holland-America Line.
And another not-to-be-missed museum is the new Bruges Beer Museum in Belgium. For the price of admission, 12 Euros, you also get a tasting of three beers of your choice in their Bruges' Market Square. Of course Bruges has a variety of museums, so if beer isn't your thing, there's still plenty to do!

SOURCE: Verengo Inc.
April 03, 2014 03:00 ET
TORRANCE, CA--(Marketwired - April 03, 2014) - Verengo Inc., America's leading solar specialist, today commended the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) for its recent promise to significantly streamline, simplify, and speed the solar installation process for solar customers. The utility announced last week its plans to increase staff levels, improve automation and communication, and expedite rebates.
Recognizing that Los Angeles residents had struggled with delays and processes much longer and more complex than neighboring cities, LADWP General Manager Marcie Edwards said, "We want to make it easier for customers to go solar so they can benefit from the city's abundant sunshine by controlling a portion of their electricity costs, while helping to green the grid."
"We are very pleased that the LADWP has announced steps to improve the overall experience for solar customers by streamlining the entire process, from application to inspection to sending out the rebate checks," said Verengo Inc. Co-Founder and President Ken Button. "Also, a great step has been taken by the Department of Building and Safety (DBS), to simplify the permitting process by creating a user-friendly online resource for Los Angeles residents who wish to go solar."
"The DWP and the Dept. of Building and Safety, along with Mayor Garcetti and the City Council, are to be congratulated for working together towards the goal of making Los Angeles the most solar friendly big city in the nation," said Verengo Co-Founder and CEO Randy Bishop.
"This is the beginning of a new era for roof top solar in Los Angeles," said Randy Bishop. Referring to the new online portal for solar customers, Bishop said, "The Mayor's new Solar Incentive Program Dashboard will allow customers to easily track their rebate checks, and have visibility of actual turnaround times for each step in the rebate process."
These changes should dramatically improve the customer experience for Los Angeles homeowners who go solar.
Verengo Inc. is changing the way America thinks about solar! Verengo is ranked #1 on the Solar Power World list of Top Residential Solar Contractors in the U.S., has been named to Inc. Magazine's List of America's Fastest Growing Companies and consistently maintains an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau. The company markets, sells and installs solar photovoltaic systems, which enable homeowners to save money on their electricity bills and replace dirty electricity with clean, renewable energy. Verengo is now 1,000 employees strong, operating in CA, NJ, NY and CT. A recent survey found that 97% of Verengo customers would refer the company to their friends and family. The company has earned this recognition and customer satisfaction by making solar easy and affordable for its customers and delivering superior customer service.

(MCT) — Colby Smith peered through thick early-morning fog atop a rocky knoll in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness and grunted like a bull moose.
"It was probably the worst moose call I've heard in my life," said Smith, 39, of Corcoran.
But something grunted back.
"I grunted again, and something stood up—it sounded like a car rolling over in a ditch. I thought, 'Oh my god,' and my legs started shaking. I couldn't see anything, but I knew it was a moose," said Smith, who was on a once-in-a-lifetime moose hunt in northeastern Minnesota on Sept. 29 with his brother and brother-in-law.
Then the woods went silent, so Smith called again.
"He raked the brush, grunting and stumping, and started coming my way," he said. "Oh, my gosh, you could hear the brush clicking on his antlers."
Smith shifted 10 feet closer to the ridge where the still unseen moose was approaching, and made more grunting sounds.
"All of a sudden he walked out of the fog, swaying his antlers aggressively. It was an unbelievable scene—just like the movies. He stopped about 110 yards out, broadside. I had to tell myself to calm down or I would miss."
He didn't.
The big bull's antlers measured 493/4 inches, and the animal likely weighed more than a half-ton.
"It was phenomenal," Smith said of the experience. He had intended to camp and hunt for 10 days. Instead, he had his moose just 37 minutes into the season.
Shooting a moose—or even getting a license to hunt one—can be a long shot in Minnesota. Smith's was one of 46 out of 76 hunting groups totaling about 300 people who bagged a bull moose in Minnesota's 16-day season, which ended Oct. 14. That's a 60 percent success rate among those who received a license, but nearly 3,500 people applied for a license.
Since 1991, the moose hunt has been a once-in-a-lifetime hunt; those who receive permits through a random drawing are ineligible to reapply.
But the state's moose population has been declining, and it's uncertain how long moose hunting will continue. The state's moose population, now estimated at about 4,200, has dropped by half in the past five years, and some say if the trend continues the animal could disappear from here in 20 years.
Hunting isn't the cause of the decline, say Department of Natural Resources wildlife officials. And cancelling the hunt won't reverse the trend.
"Biologically, you can hunt a species, when you're only taking males, without having a negative impact," said Steve Merchant, DNR wildlife program manager.
"There's a strong tradition of hunting moose in Minnesota. But does it make sense to continue it if we continue to see lower numbers? That's a conversation we'll have."
Researchers believe the decline is related to disease and parasites, including liver flukes, winter ticks and brainworm.
Colby Smith and his brother Taylor, 38, are avid deer hunters and knew this hunt was special, so they went to great lengths to plan their trip. Neither Taylor nor Brian Mastel, 39, of Greenfield, their brother-in-law, had moose licenses, so they couldn't carry firearms or aid Colby during his hunt, but they could help him afterward.
Colby elected to hunt deep in the BWCA, which meant he'd have to butcher and haul his moose out of the woods without the use of vehicles or power equipment.
"We figured it's a once-in-a-lifetime deal, let's do it right," he said.
That meant getting in shape.
"I started training in June, walking 1 mile with a 25-pound pack," he said. "I ended up walking 3 miles every other day with 75 pounds on my back."
Taylor Smith hiked with 50-pound sacks of chicken feed strapped to his back. Mastel is a marathon runner.
"The training made a big difference in our endurance," Colby Smith said.
Scouting also was key. Smith said they'd fished the area during previous canoe trips and often seen moose. And Taylor Smith and his 10-year-old daughter went to the area last summer, scouting, and found a little-used portage into a "secret lake."
The celebration of bagging his first-ever moose ended quickly, Smith said, and the real work began.
"The temperature was in the 60s," he said. "We didn't want the meat to spoil."
The threesome set up a tarp to shade the carcass, then gutted and butchered the moose with bone saws and knives.
"The head and neck were so big you couldn't move it by yourself," Smith said. "It was unbelievable."
They packed the meat into eight bags weighing a total of about 600 pounds. Smith also kept the skull and rack, which he plans to mount.
They cooled the meat in their aluminum canoe, which they left in 45-degree water overnight, then headed out the next morning. Each had to make four trips across six portages, carrying their gear, three canoes and moose meat. That's seven trips across each portage.
Said Smith: "It was the perfect hunt. We did our homework. We had the right tools. It was an amazing experience, but it's not for the fait of heart.
"It's such a neat thing. If moose hunting ends, it would be very sad."

MEXICO CITY (AP) — The proportion of the world's middle class living in developing nations more than doubled between 1990 and 2010 and is expected to rise to more than 80 percent of the globe's total by 2030, a United Nations report said Thursday.
The U.N. Development Program's 2013 Human Development report, released in Mexico City, says the share of middle-class people living in "the global south" expanded from 26 percent to 58 percent over 20 years.
By 2030, developing nations will have the vast majority of the world's middle-class people, and account for 70 percent of total consumer spending, it said.
The report predicts that by the end of the current decade, the economic output of Brazil, India and China will outstrip that of the United States, Germany, Britain, Canada, France and Italy combined.
The report highlights Latin America, and especially Brazil, Chile and Mexico, which it lists as pioneers in three main development drivers: more proactive states in development policies, greater integration with global markets and innovation in social policy.
It lauds innovative social programs that aim at reducing poverty and historic social inequalities, such as Mexico's Oportunidades campaign and Brazil's Bolsa Familia.
"These social programs really show their worth when you have a period like the global financial crisis when Mexico takes a hit after what happened in the United States ... having that basic floor of support in place stops a country from losing the development it gained," said Helen Clark, administrator of the U.N. Development Program.
She said that to keep the region's development momentum, governments need to implement policies that focus on education and address gender inequality.
Latin American growth has been led by strong states that experienced a gradual integration with the world economy, the report says.
While Brazil experimented with inward-oriented economic strategies, national companies were still encouraged to export and compete globally. Brazil's Embraer, for example, is now the world's leading producer of mid-size jet aircraft.
Chile encouraged investment in sectors where the country had a comparative advantage, such as wine, wood products and fish farming, which would also boost employment in the rural south, the report says.

Areas of the Magistrates' Court
The Civil Jurisdiction of the Magistrates' Court hears disputes arising from debts, claims for damages, other monetary disputes or equitable relief.
Cases in the Civil Jurisdiction fall into three broad categories: General, Workcover and Industrial.
The Magistrates' Court can determine most disputes over money or property up to the value of $100 000, however in certain circumstances the Court can hear cases with an unlimited value.
Criminal Proceedings
The criminal jurisdiction of the Magistrates' Court of Victoria hears and determines all summary offences and some indictable offences. The Court also conducts committal hearings in relation to serious indictable offences that must be finally determined in the County or Supreme Courts.
Traffic Offences
The Magistrates' Court of Victoria hears and determines many different traffic offences ranging from parking violations, exceeding the speed limit to drink driving offences. The Court also hears applications for licence eligibility orders for people who have been disqualified from obtaining a licence for offences such as drink or drug driving. The Court also hears applications for a reduction in time between assessments and applications to remove an alcohol interlock condition from a licence.
The court can make intervention orders to protect people who have experienced violent, threatening or abusive behaviour.
There are two types of intervention orders:
- a family violence intervention order helps to protect you from a family member who is violent to you
- a personal safety intervention order helps to protect you from someone, other than a family member, who makes you feel unsafe
See the related Support and Assistance Services page for details of the services that can help you feel safe and assist with your intervention order application. If you are in danger and need urgent help, call the emergency number 000 and ask for the police.
The Magistrates' Court of Victoria offers a range of programs and services which improve the Court's responsiveness to Victoria's diverse and growing community.
Specialist Courts seek to identify and address the complex issues that may have led to a person's contact with the justice system with the aim of reducing re-offending. This promotes a safer and fairer community.
Specialist Programs include the Drug Court, Koori Courts, Court Integrated Services Program (CISP), Credit/Bail Support (CBS) and the Assessment and Referral Court List (ARC).
In this section you will find information about Court Costs, Fees , Protocols setting out various court procedures and Proper Venue for filing of court documents, searchable by postcode or suburb/town throughout Victoria.

- Industrial
- Civil
- Criminal
- Workcover Divisions
These documents are not official versions and are distributed for information purposes only.
The Magistrates' Court has jurisdiction to hear and determine matters related to state laws and some federal matters. The Family Law Act 1975 gives the Magistrates' Courts certain powers to deal with family law matters.
The Magistrates' Court of Victoria has the power to hear a similar range of matters related to children, property and intervention orders as the Federal Magistrates' Court however its powers are limited by the legislation and developed court procedures.
If matters heard before the Magistrates' Court of Victoria are defended, they must be transferred to the Family Court of Australia.
The Magistrates' Court does not deal with divorce proceedings.

Zack Snyder's Justice League of America movie is finally officially happening, giving Warner Bros. a major tentpole franchise and placing DC Comics on the cinematic universe map. Unlike Marvel, who launched five standalone films before The Avengers, it looks like all the heroes of DC Comics are going to be thrown in a blender, with only Superman and Batman being already familiar to movie audiences (let's not talk about 2011's Green Lantern...).
That's a major gamble for the studio, so the next few months will be spent very carefully selecting the roster for this superteam. The worst possible scenario is that these characters are too familiar, too generic, and ultimately bleed into each other. DC's got a long bench, but there's a massive fall-off from Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman to the next tier of heroes. So what's the roster going to look like? We're glad you asked. Meet your likely cinematic Justice League of America, according to our educated guesses and blind hearsay!
SupermanHey, You Look Familiar: Man Of Steel is the launching point of the onscreen DC Universe, though Superman has starred in five other films that have helped build the character's considerable fanbase over the years.
You Remind Me Of: With his super strength, invincibility and completely reckless disregard for human society (this version at least), Superman is a whole lot like that Thor dude who popped up in three separate Marvel movies within the span of three years.
Team Function: Henry Cavill's Superman didn't seem like the team-building type at the end of Man Of Steel, but perhaps his encounters with Batman during Zack Snyder's Batman vs. Superman will change his mind. There's a very good chance Superman is the catalyst that brings every character together, and the voice the group really listens to. He's got what you might call leadership material.

According to Wikipedia, Twitter has today around 200 million users that together post 65 million tweets a day, with a limit of 140 characters per tweet. This way, I decided to do some math to find out how much storage space this number of daily tweets requires and the first step was to learn how the 140 characters are counted.
Counting charactersBasically, Twitter uses the NFC form of the text to count the length of a tweet, which favors the combined character form. Special characters are represented by one codepoint, that is encoded as two bytes in UTF-8. You can find a lot more detailed information about it following their tutorial on counting characters and the references in it.
The mathAssuming the worst case scenario, in which all the 140 characters used and are special ones, a single tweet would take 280 bytes of storage space. If 200 million users generates 65 million tweets a day, they require almost 17GB of disk space a day. If a user is limited to post 1000 in their timeline, that means the 200 million users require something around 500TB of data.
ConclusionTwitter has to manage 500TB of data, of which 17GB is daily modified. Considering that 75% of the requests to twitter.com are API calls, that means a lot of work on querying all that data. OK, leave my drive out of it!
Do you feel that this isn't much and they should raise the limits? Follow me on twitter and make me post more! :)

18 U.S. Code § 4123 - New industries
Any industry established under this chapter shall be so operated as not to curtail the production of any existing arsenal, navy yard, or other Government workshop.
Such forms of employment shall be provided as will give the inmates of all Federal penal and correctional institutions a maximum opportunity to acquire a knowledge and skill in trades and occupations which will provide them with a means of earning a livelihood upon release.
The industries may be either within the precincts of any penal or correctional institution or in any convenient locality where an existing property may be obtained by lease, purchase, or otherwise.
Based on title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., § 744c (May 27, 1930, ch. 340, § 3, 46 Stat. 391).
A part of said section 744c of title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., is incorporated in section 4122 of this title.
References to the Attorney General were omitted because section 744k of title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., as originally enacted, provided for the transfer to Federal Prison Industries of the powers and duties then vested in the Attorney General.
References to "this chapter" were substituted for "this section" since the general authority to establish and supervise prison industries is contained in this chapter.
Minor changes of phraseology were made.
