At last week's emergency summit on Ukraine, France sought to maintain a careful balancing act, refusing to make false promises to Kyiv, while not hesitating to threaten Moscow with sanctions, euractiv.fr reports.
For France, offering Ukraine the prospect of European Union membership was out of the question, even conditionally.
While Poland was pushing the issue forward at the extraordinary European Council on 6 March, French President François Hollande argued this would have been going one step too far.
The Polish prime minister, Donald Tusk, as well as other leaders, wanted to offer an EU membership perspective to Ukraine in the Council conclusions, which were adopted unanimously last week.
But other heads of states backed France, recognising that there was no consensus on the issue and because "it is important to show a united front on the Ukrainian issue", a French source said. As the EU and the US were joining forces for a de-escalation of the situation between Russia and Ukraine, offering Kyiv membership perspective would only have fanned tensions, diplomats said.
The episode also exposed diverging views between France and Germany, whose position is closer to that of the Poles.
Frank-Walter Steinmeier, the German minister of foreign affairs, does not hide his desire to open the EU's door to Ukraine. Although there is no final German position on the issue, a study is in progress.
The European People's Party (EPP) did not hesitate, however, and backed the possibility of Ukrainian move towards the EU during the party's congress in Dublin last week.
The EPP, which brings together all centre-right political parties in Europe, adopted a resolution on 7 March clearly opening the door to negotiations with Ukraine by saying that the country "has a European perspective and may apply to become a member of the Union" (paragraph 22).
Weimar Triangle put to the test
France may also be starting to reap the benefits of stronger ties with Poland, which were reestablished following Hollande's election in May 2012.
During the Ukrainian crisis, Paris intends to remain the engine of the Weimar Triangle, the political trio formed by Germany, Poland and France in 1991, by pushing for a strong and united European position.
However, "the common position adopted last Thursday […] will be tested quickly, this week," a French diplomat warned.
The 28 EU member states have agreed on €11 billion in aid for Ukraine, as well as a swift signature of the Association Agreement and the implementation of trade provisions to help Ukrainian exports.
The interim Ukrainian prime minister, Arseniy Yatsenyuk, insisted on the political aspect of the agreement which foresees deeper cooperation in foreign and security policy. According to diplomats, the cooperation also comes as a signal that the EU recognises the transitional government in Kyiv.
French pressure on Russia
While backing Kyiv, France is also mindful of not crossing any of Moscow's red lines.
The Ukrainian prime minister believes that Russia has "declared a war" on Ukraine and would have liked more drastic sanctions adopted against the Russian regime, but according to France, sanctions should only come later in the diplomatic showdown with Moscow.
Following the 5 March negotiations in Paris between US Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, Europeans are trying to organise a mediation session between Russia and Ukraine, which could take place this week under US auspices.
The French foreign affairs minister, Laurent Fabius, threatened Russia on Tuesday with sanctions "maybe this week" if it did not respond to the Western proposals for "de-escalation".
"Through John Kerry we sent a proposal to the Russians," which is aimed at "de-escalating" the conflict, Fabius said.
"They have not responded yet. If they respond positively, John Kerry will go to Moscow and sanctions will then not be immediate. If they do not respond, or respond negatively, sanctions can be taken this week," he stressed.
A referendum on the future of Crimea on 16 March hangs in the balance.
Freezing of assets and travel restrictions
The proposed sanctions will be similar to those imposed on former Ukrainian leaders, including President Yanukovych: a freezing of assets and travel restrictions.
The next step would involve measures with potentially heavy consequences for the Russian economy, including on the natural gas trade with Gazprom.
>> Read: Despite EU efforts, natural gas remains Russia's trump card
The United States has already announced that it would put its liquefied gas at the disposal of Europe if turning up the heat on Russia became necessary.
The former Ukrainian government announced on 21 November that it had decided to stop its preparations to sign an Association Agreement (AA) with the EU.
An Eastern Partnership summit in Vilnius on 28-29 November 2013 ended with a major disappointment for the EU, as Ukraine's president, Viktor Yanukovich, decided to put off the signature of a landmark Association Agreement (AA), coupled with a Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade agreement (DCFTA). Meanwhile, Yanukovich turned to Russia, obtaining a $15 billion loan and cheaper gas.
Following the news that their country had turned to Russia, pro-European Ukrainians staged protests which developed into a popular revolution to oust Yanukovich.
Russia has put a great amount of pressure on its neighbour countries to prevent them from signing AAs with the EU. Armenia previously backed down from one, saying it would join instead the Moscow-led Customs Union with Belarus and Kazakhstan.

Tony Miller Says:
Mar 2, 2012 at 7:15 AM Although it does sound ridiculous to install software that's already installed, MAMP (and WAMPP and XAMPP) do have their place. MAMP has a non-pro free option, and WAMP and XAMPP are completely free. The idea is that you have something that doesn't require installation, can be dropped in place with no system modifications (think startup files, registry entries, etc), and you have a nice control panel that lets you start up MySQL, Apache, etc. They also usually have PHPMyAdmin and other web applications pre-installed so you don't have to.
It's good for development, especially on Windows where the WAMP stack doesn't exist natively. It's also nice for people who don't want to make modifications to their system MySQL/Apache (if they even exist), preferring they remain in place and updated for use by whatever the system OS uses them for.

Alright, y'all, this is a special episode, because we open in the thick of it. Adriana's freaking out – everybody's in the church, waiting for her. We then jump back 24 hours earlier.
We're treated to the sight of Adriana pulling down her pants so Frederic can inject her in the butt with some vitamins. Adriana screeches like a mangled cat throughout the entire thing; it makes one wonder how she handled childbirth. Adriana's sooo stressed about all the things she has to do: pick up her sister at the airport, get a manicure, get her "privates waxed" because apparently it's the Amazon down there. Frederic confirms he doesn't want the Amazon down there, but a happy trail. If it wasn't already obvious English isn't his first language…
We find Lea hobbling on the beach, making her way to Alexia waiting under a cabana. Lisa and Joanna show up, as well. It's the day before Adriana's wedding and Lisa wants to have some fun with Lea and Joanna, who were not invited. Of course the ladies dive into the gossip, revisiting the incident from last week when Marysol blew up at Lea at Alexia's party.
Lea gets mad when Alexia tries to defend Marysol, and the conversation ends pretty quickly. Lisa, the self-declared life of the party, decides it's time for all the ladies to tip their toes in the water. Lea says she can't be in the sun (which is why you're totally living in the right city, Lea), but the girls drag her to the edge of the water anyway.
The day of Adriana's wedding finally arrives. With four hours to go, Adriana gets to her hotel room to get ready. She's joined by her sister, niece, and son. Marysol soon join in on the fun, and Adriana ruminates about the people who could be there for her special day, and those couldn't. Of course she brings up Lea, saying it fills her with regret to not have somebody who was such a good friend to her be there for her special day. Yeah, yeah.
As people begin to arrive, Adriana becomes more and more frazzled. Before we know it, it's 5:10 PM, and Frederic enters the room to locate his missing tux. Adriana chooses this moment to walk around in her robe and a facial mask which makes her look like Jason from the Friday the 13th movies, according to Lisa. Frederic can't find his tux, and the ladies begin freaking when Adriana just plops down on her bed, saying she feels dizzy. There's less than an hour until the wedding, and the bride is nowhere near ready.
But of course by the net commercial break, Adriana is hair and make-up ready. It's been an hour, though, that the guests have been sitting in the church, waiting. Lisa's about to pounce on Adriana but Marysol tells her not to. Finally, Adriana puts on her "Lady Gaga" heels and makes her way to the church. The ceremony finally gets underway, much to everyone's relief, and we're treated to a voiceover from Adriana who feels so lucky to have found a "Frenchman" who's so accepting of who she is. Interesting choice of words.
After the ceremony, Adriana's guests hustle to change their clothes, per her "1920's garb only" rule for the reception. Lisa and Marysol take the opportunity, as they're changing clothes, to rehash their argument from the previous week. It's nearly 10 PM, and Adriana is yet to make an appearance downstairs at the reception. People actually start leaving the party!
When Adriana and her wedding party finally arrive at the reception, it's nearly 11 PM, and Lenny in particular is pissed. He's threatening to leave the party, and Lisa can't understand for the life of her why, even though they're very late, and Lenny (along with everyone else) has technically spent the entire day and night waiting. When Lenny actually leaves, Lisa kind of blows it by talking smack about her husband to the people around her at the table. Bad move.
However, when she runs out to the front she catches Lenny before he gets into his limo. She convinces him to stay for 20 minutes extra, because she's tired of feeling like "a widow" and always being alone at parties. The guilt trip works, as Lenny stays behind.
To cap off an hour about waiting, the episode comes to a close with some guy doing a "champagne sabrage" – slicing off the top of a bottle of champagne with a saber. Even after Adriana tells him the third time's a charm, his third effort doesn't work. Everyone's waiting. And then, finally, he cuts the damn thing off. The champagne starts flowing, as do, thankfully, the end credits.

Codeswitching in the multilingual mind
Hilderman, Dustin
The very existence of intra-word codeswitching—of the type [w ML1 + ML2]; *[eat]eng + [-iendo]Spanish —has long been a point of contention in the language mixing literature (Poplack, 1980; Myers-Scotton, 1992; MacSwan, 2005). However, recent work by Alexiadou et al (2015) and Grimstad, Lohndal & Afarli (2014) has documented a number of empirical examples of such codeswitching in an American community of Heritage Norwegian-English speakers—crucially, in these examples, the lexical elements are English lexical roots and produced using English phonological rules but the suffix (i.e. morphology) attached to the lexical items is syntactically Norwegian—a clear and unambiguous example of intra-word codeswitching. These data will be the focus of investigation into intra-word codeswitching. MacSwan (2005) has argued that intra-word codeswitching is prohibited due to the inability of the human computational system to merge hierarchically ordered phonological systems from two or more languages; a prohibition characterized in his PF Disjunction Theorem. More recently, Alexiadou et al., (2015); Grimstad, Lohndal & Afarli, (2014) have exploited a model of Distributed Morphology to challenge the PF disjunction theorem and the ban on intra-word codeswitching it entails. A central goal of this thesis will be to compare, contrast and evaluate these two models of language mixing. It will be argued that this prohibition of intra-word language mixing may be overcome by appealing to a cognitive processes perspective (Sharwood-Smith & Truscott, 2014). A MOGUL processing prospective (Sharwood-Smith & Truscott, 2014) will be used to build upon previous approaches to language mixing in order to account for intra-word codeswitching. The modular architecture adopted by MOGUL allows for a molecular view of a lexical item; each module (i.e. phonological module, syntax module, conceptual module) produces a representation for a given form which is then interfaced to neighboring modules; the result is a chain of representations (i.e. PS + SS + CS) which constitutes a lexical item. Additionally, MOGUL incorporates several extra-linguistic cognitive mechanisms which play a role in language mixing. Of particular interest are the notions of goals and cognitive context. Following Sharwood-smith & Truscott (2016), goals are the central motivators for speech and action while cognitive context is taken to be the mentally internalized representation of an individual's current environment (Sharwood-Smith & Truscott, 2014) as well as representing various intentions, perspectives, opinions, etc., an individual has regarding their environment (Van Dijk, 1997). To situate intra-word codeswitching into a MOGUL framework, much of MacSwan's Minimalist account will be adopted, (i.e. codeswitching is accounted for via the union of grammar X and grammar Y; formally: {Gx ᴜ Gy}) while rejecting the PF Disjunction Theorem and, instead, adopting elements of Distributed Morphology (i.e. late insertion). It will be argued that cognitive context configures various executive control process (i.e. bilingual mode) to allow for the union of phonological systems between Lx and Ly. This analysis builds upon a larger body of language mixing research by synthesizing a Minimalist account of codeswitching with a cognitive processing framework to account for intra-word codeswitching; the MOGUL framework allows for these disparate elements to be synthesized.

Business Tips: Getting The Best Results From Your Staff
In business, there is no question that your staff play a vital role in the overall success of a company. Even if your operation only hires a handful of employees, their productivity will dictate how quickly you reach your goals.
This aspect is also one of the biggest expenses that any business owner faces, so the importance of getting the best results is clear. Here's how you can ensure that your team provides the best results.
Hire Well
The first step to getting the best from your staff is arguably the most important. If you hire the best candidates, then your chances of seeing the desired results will be greatly increased.
Recruitment is a crucial step for any business, and you must take your time to ensure you find the best people. Be aware that, in many cases, outsourcing could be the best option too. Not only does it open up your options, but it can also reduce costs on equipment and business premises.
Improve Them
Hiring people with the basic tools to shine is important, but you'll still want to mold them into the staff that you desire.
One of the best ways to do this is with training and development. Many businesses fail to see the full benefits of staff training. Therefore, they tend to miss out on the rewards of choosing the best course available. In truth, there's no point unless you select one that is going to gain the results you want and need.
Meanwhile, you must ensure that the work environment has all the right facilities for your staff to perform. After all, they can only achieve what the resources will allow.
Lead By Example
Teamwork makes the dream work, but your employees still need an inspirational figure to lead them into battle. You are that leader. Perform well, and your team should follow suit.
One of the hardest jobs is to stay motivated, especially if the business isn't performing as you'd hoped. Achieving it will bring improved workflow, which should filter down throughout the company. Quite frankly, you cannot afford to be lacking in this crucial aspect.
As well as performing yourself, you should be a tutor to your staff. They all have dreams of climbing the career ladder. Help them, and they will become an even bigger asset to the company.
Treat Them Well
Ultimately, you are employing staff members to do a job. However, it's imperative that you remember that they are humans too. Cater towards those emotional needs and you'll see vast improvements in their response.
Staff perks are a fantastic way to get the positivity flowing. An even better trait is to show empathy. If a parent needs to look after their poorly child, don't be afraid to let them work from home. As long as their tasks are completed, it shouldn't matter too much. Meanwhile, your gestures will be appreciated and help build better relationships.
Essentially, look after your employees and they will return the favor.

PLAINVIEW, NY – A recent food recall shows how diligent people with celiac disease and gluten sensitivities need to be, says a New York clinical dietitian.
Mars Food North America voluntarily recalled two lots of its Uncle Ben's Ready Rice Garden Vegetable with Peas, Carrots and Corn pouches because there was barley in the rice mix, thereby no longer making them gluten-free. A Mars spokesman said these pouches were found in some New York-area Walmarts, but the affected products have been removed.
To see if you or a loved one has been affected by this recall click here.
Celiac disease and gluten sensitivities have to do with an allergy a person has to the protein in oats, wheat and barley, explains Karen Wolff, registered dietitian at Plainview Hospital. People who have these issues and their loved ones need to vigilantly read food labels and ask questions about how their food is prepared. The incidence of celiac disease has gone up four fold since 1950, according to research done by the Mayo Clinic.
"Certain restaurants are certified gluten free; those are the safest," Ms. Wolff said. "Cooking at home is the best. Keeping a gluten-free house -- separate pots, toaster oven, things like that. And it's just a matter of reading labels and being very careful about that."
The signs and symptoms of a gluten sensitivity or celiac disease include bloating, diarrhea, fatigue and headaches after the consumption of food with these proteins.

Just saw this short video on the Glenn Beck show on CNN Headline News. Despite all the bad things going on in Iraq - no one can deny that - isn't it strange that we hardly ever get to hear about the good things that happen over there?
Well actually it's not strange in the least. That much is obvious. That's why I thought it would be nice to present the other side to the Iraq war, the one most MSM outlets will not cover except for the rare "feel-good" story. Does it justify the sacrifices we've made? You be the judge. But if we let the majority of the MSM answer that question for us, then we're at least half-blind.
Oh, and the first commenter to mention the "p" word gets 30 lashes across the wrist.

DENVER – Union-backed school board candidate Ronda Scholting's video ad is turning into what could have been a deleted-scene from Will Ferrell's 2012 "The Campaign."
After multiple complaints from Facebook users, DougCo parents, and talk-show host Mike Rosen, Douglas County Board of Education Candidate Ronda Scholting removed, without comment or notice, the embellished video ad from her "Ronda Scholting for DougCo Schools" Facebook fan page.
The ad is still listed under the page's "Videos" section, however, the original post alleging Meghann Silverthorn's distaste for "soccer mom's" has been hidden from the timeline section.
A rebuttal video from a YouTube user questioned Scholting's deletion of nearly two-minutes of audio from a KOA 850 interview conducted by Mike Rosen.
Scholting took bits and pieces of Rosen's interview with her opponent, Meghann Silverthorn, and spliced them together to manufacture a soundbyte for a campaign video.
The Observer reported on the Scholting video doctoring scandal over the weekend.
Despite the raft of negative attention the video-splice has generated for Scholting's campaign, at least one of her supporters defended the cut-and-paste attack ad on Facebook.
"[W]hat ad do you know of that hasn't been spliced?" the Scholting backer asked rhetorically.
However, most observers have been less supportive of Scholting's tabloid-style spot.
Asked to comment, Silverthorn said she thought Scholting's manipulation of the Rosen interview was "not okay in most Douglas County citizens' worlds," and "misrepresented both mine and Rosen's comments."
"It's one thing to cut out coughs, pauses, or other extraneous noise," added Silverthorn.
"Her willful and wanton misrepresentation of the conversation in that video is just a sign of how desperate liberal Democrats and the teachers' union are to win back control of the DougCo school board so they can bring back the union and kill the current boards long-needed improvements," Rosen told The Observer.
Rosen, who on Friday called Scholting out on his show for misrepresenting his, and Silverthorn's, remarks, posted the YouTube rebuttal on 850koa.com.
Scholting is a former news reporter and, by some accounts, a progressive climber who has tenaciously sought the spotlight. She was elected to the Parker Fire Protection Board in 2012 and spent most of her career as a broadcast journalist.
In 2008, liberal blog ColoradoPols.com wrote "[s]ome woman named Ronda Scholting, who is apparently the 7News Northern Bureau Reporter" was planning to petition onto the CD-6 ballot to challenge Mike Coffman – "attempt to petition on, anyway."
Scholting, who represents herself as a centrist, is nonetheless supported by a variety of liberal organizations, and endorsed by the far-left Progressive Majority which seeks "the best progressive leaders to run for office."
Progressive Majority is the same group that supported ousted Senate-leader John Morse, who was booted out of office earlier this month for supporting a controversial package of gun control bills and legislation mandating costly energy requirements throughout the state.

There's no question that Creatures of the Wind, a modest duo based in Chicago, have been the designers on everyone's lips these past few seasons. Combining a studied, art-school vibe with Rodarte-esque textural flourishes and clever surprises, its unique sensibility has been a refreshing arrival amid so many trend-obsessed designer drones.
And yesterday's first runway show more than proved this is a collection — and point of view — that's picking up speed...fast. There were more than a few gasps, as models in anti-glam hairnets strolled in looks that could possibly be described as schoolgirl couture. Sixties structure and some masculine lines offered a stunning contrast to bold, jeweled embellishments, unusual layering, and unexpected color combos. In short, these were clothes that were daring and unconventional, but still well within the realm of wearability, which, for most women, never hurts.

Myers-Briggs and the Journey of the INFP
–from Dr. Jim Nolan of Southwestern College, Santa Fe
(offering fully accredited, master's degrees in holistic Counseling and Art Therapy/Counseling)
If you are an INFP and you feel weird on the planet, it kind of makes sense, because statistically, you are. It is estimated that INFP's make up about 4% of our culture. It used to be 1%, as published in the MBTI Handbook, but I guess we are gaining a foothold in the world. That seems consistent with what will be the topic of my next blog, which will focus on the increasing value being placed on RIGHT BRAIN thinking in this culture (imagine that—after a million years of valuing LEFT BRAIN thinking A LOT more…Good trend. Stay tuned.)
Learning that I was an INFP a long time ago was helpful. At that time, we were estimated to be 1% of the population, which felt, in my gut, just about right. (Add to that that I am an INFP, Right Brain, Scorpio from what is now inner city Cleveland, and there are only four of us in the country. OK, I made that one up…) The most common profiles for therapists include the "NFP" configuration. (If you don't know your Myers-Briggs type, go to the end of this blog for a free site to find out).
When you are an "NFP", (Intuitive, Feeling, Perceiving) you have kind of a minority status, or certainly a devalued status in just about anything but the helping professions. Most of us do nice guy work. There are no "NFP" boxers, or cops, or Navy Seals, or US Presidents. Sorry. Just aren't. INFPs are therapists, writers, psychologists, musicians, shamans.
So the INFP can have a bit of a hard time on the planet. We pretty much are very OK sticking to ourselves, or hanging out with one other person, even in (or maybe especially in) a huge party or get-together setting. It is not that we do not like people, it is that they wear us out. We want a little of that, then a break to go process what we experienced. A long-ish break, preferably. We can leave parties without saying goodbye to the hosts because the interpersonal bucket is empty. Faced with a choice of one of those half hour goodbye sessions (AFTER an evening of even more people stuff) or a kick in the shins, many of us would choose the boot and sneak out the side door, down the driveway, into the liberating and infinitely welcomed crowd-less night. Ahhhh. INFP's take a pounding sometimes.
We have faced the ignominy of a lifetime of our culture dismissing our key epistemology, or way of knowing, as womanly (NOT meant in a good way), or soft, or non-scientific. Our Inner Knower is considered the next best thing to a moron and the guy who builds a bomb, based on data and science, is revered as really smart, with his head screwed on straight. And until recently, in the field of business, Thinkers were decidedly valued much more highly than Feelers. You want a guy who doesn't let feelings get in the way of business. Bernie Madoff was excellent in that regard, and the banking industry achieved unprecedented profits by focusing on facts and the bottom line, and not such namby-pamby stuff as the feelings of the people whose fortunes were being devastated. Hey, it's not personal. It's a BUSINESS. I mean, come on….
In sports, when AROD sees a Psychologist, or when LeBron does not have "the killer instinct", they are deemed soft. Those with the hardware (championship trophies) go for the jugular. Of course AROD might be the greatest baseball player of all time, and LeBron the greatest basketball player, but until we see their hardware, and until they cut with this "feelings" crap, they will continue to be less than real men.
And how about that "P" Function? (Perceiving) J's (Judging Types) can get really kind of obnoxiously self-congratulatory about this one. This is not made easier if the preface to your P is an INF. We feel things. We are nice. Plus we know the J's are misguided in their self-valuing. The American culture has a clear preference and admiration for "Decisiveness", for strong J functioners. I get that. Some really influential people in history have been strong J folks. George W. Bush comes to mind, and Napoleon Bonaparte, and Josef Stalin. Those boys could make some decisions quickly, and they didn't need no stinkin' brainstorming. Just do it. Boom! Decision made. P's like to mull it over, keep the options open, sleep on it. The J's roll their eyes, stare at their watches exaggeratedly obviously, and mutter under their breath. "I don't know", says the P. "I always love Thai food, but then there's Ethiopian, too, which is always an adventure. And you can't beat Del Charro with a stick either." The J thinks "We are going to starve to death before you make a decision. Let's just go to Denny's. They have all kinds of food. It's fast. Let's just go."
OK, I am having some fun here. I have had to do 50 sets of curls every day with my J function to get it working at Presidential level, and I've gotten pretty good at it. I have to give graduation speeches to several hundred people, then meet with a bunch of families afterwards. Sneaking out the back is not one of the options. I'm not bad. And while most essentially an Intuitive Type, I have also found great utility and comfort in data. In my personal life, the data are not too key to my process, but as the College CEO, the auditors, accreditors, Board of Trustees and the IRS want data. Imagine that. "I have a hit in my gut that we have paid just about the right amount of taxes this year, so I am not feeling a need to file…" Yeah…no. And my F (Feeling) function, which wants to make decisions based on empathy and compassion primarily, sometimes has to ride shotgun while the T (Thinking) function drives the Southwestern College bus, analyzing what is best for the school as a whole, in the long haul, sometimes regardless of whether it impacts one or some individuals in a way that does not make them happy. You become the withholding parent in some folks' eyes, and you have to make the decision anyway.
Every style has its strengths and its shortcomings. That is one of the beauties of the Myers-Briggs. "Haste makes waste" says the P. "He who hesitates is lost" replies the J. And so on. Still, being in that really small, albeit growing percentage of INFPs can be a sort of lonely place, but we do not mind that. We do not experience it as particularly "lonely." I guess what was hard for me was that until I understood more about the Myers-Briggs, I just had a vague, yet at the same time distinct sense that I did not fit in with the culture, that I was on the outside looking in at American culture with its adoration of outgoing, sharp thinking, "facts only, ma'am" guys who made dramatic decisions like you blow your nose. And although there is a shift (again, more about that next time), I still feel that way. "Not fitting in" is just how life feels.
Maybe it's changing. But I have found enough like-minded others with whom to share life in my preferred way. And often, for the INFP, one like minded other is enough. By the way, I am probably going to miss that reunion party this weekend…I have to do laundry, and, you know, stuff… To find your type, click here . And if you think you might want to be a therapist, which is a great INFP job, Southwestern College is a great fit for an INFP…,

Pressured by rising costs of special education, states are urging the federal government to honor its pledge to pay 40 percent of the expense of schooling learning and physically disabled children. That would more than treble what Washington now contributes in an area of public education that collectively costs $49.2 billion annually.
The issue has reached such a level that the major party presidential candidates, Texas Gov. George Bush and Vice President Al Gore, have promised more funding.
Special education students range from those who need remedial help or have behavioral problems to those with physical disabilities and are in need of constant care.
Under a 1976 federal law called the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), school districts are required to provide a quality education to disabled students. The law stipulates that the federal government will bear 40 percent of the cost, but Congress has consistently under-funded the program.
A 1993 survey of 24 states found that seven percent of special ed funding came from the federal government, 53 percent from the states and 40 percent from local school districts, according to the Education Commission on the States (ECS).
Over the last five years national special education enrollments have increased on average by at least 184,000 students annually.
Standards-based-reforms may be a contributing factor. Experts say it appears that teachers are pushing students who can't meet state standards into special education classes.
There is also an incentive for schools to classify low-achieving students as special ed because in many states special ed test scores are not measured for accountability purposes
"As we increase standards more and more kids are not going to be able to meet those standards, and unless we create other alternatives than putting them in special education, we will see even more increases in numbers," says Thomas B. Parrish, Director of the Center for Special Education Finance at the American Institutes of Research in Palo Alto, Calif.
Some states are rebelling at the rising cost of special education and cutting spending. A Vermont panel told lawmakers that the state won't be able to sustain the growing expense and "cost-containment must become a system-wide priority."
Last month, Massachusetts lawmakers decided to bring its more generous special education program in line with federal requirements. The move may trim 30,000 students from the special education rolls and save the state $157 million annually.<>
Bush and Gore say they would support large increases in IDEA's $5.75 billion in state grants. "We must continue to be committed to providing quality education to all of our children. As President, I will remain unalterably supportive of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act in order to maintain this fundamental commitment," Gore said.
Bush's plan would include using money earmarked for the nation's low-income students to identify students with learning disabilities earlier. Bush campaign spokesman Ray Sullivan says Bush will also invest $1 billion a year for five years to help these children learn to read by the third grade, bringing them up to speed with their general education peers.

Star-Banner readers comment on corruption in Washington, a traffic accident and China's carbon emissions.
Drugged children
I read in the Star-Banner this week on attention deficit disorder in children occurring in numbers never before seen. More than ever before, doctors and psychiatrists are prescribing drugs to keep the children calm.
What is not emphasized is that parents are not doing their job paying attention to their children with loving discipline.
Children learn what they can do and cannot do by being taught right from wrong. They don't automatically have a mental book or online app for this.
I've often seen parents completely ignoring childrens' bad behavior. Temper tantrums from kids is nothing new, but what is a new trend — thanks originally to Dr. Spock's book — is spare the rod, but it is spoiling our children. They will act out just to try out their world and what they can get away with; it's only natural.
Parents today are concerned that the government will step in and take their children away. Parents, you owe it to your kids and yourself to set aside your own agenda while your children are growing up and pay attention. Let's call ADD what it is: Adult Deficiency Disorder! Get these kids off drugs because it sends a bad message.

Ripped off
On Friday, Nov. 22, I was driving down U.S. 441 headed toward Belleview from Summerfield. Everybody in front of me started braking, so I did too. All of a sudden I get hit in the rear.
I pulled over in the grass in the median since I was in the left lane, and the vehicle that hit me pulled around me and stopped and looked back at me, then waved for me to follow him and took off.
I started following him because I wanted insurance information, and he wasn't going to stop and give it to me.
As I'm following him, he keeps going faster, running stop signs like he's trying to lose me.
He finally pulled into a driveway, so I stopped in front of the home and called 911. When he finally came out to my vehicle, he wanted to know who I was talking to. When I told him 911, he just wanted to switch information, but I wanted a police report.
After the Florida Highway Patrol came and ran our licenses and insurance, they told me he didn't have insurance. So I left, and as far as I know he didn't get a ticket or anything.
Makes me wonder how he is out driving when he has no insurance. It was pretty much a hit and run, yet he didn't get a ticket or go to jail.
Now I'm out $500 for my deductible and without my car for one to two weeks.
Marion County needs to crack down on people like this who are hurting those of us who are abiding by the rules.
How disappointed I am with the whole system right now.
Christina Roberts
So corrupt
How do we clean up Washington?
Easy, just strictly prohibit any money, favors, gifts of all kinds from anyone or organization, foreign and domestic, from campaign endeavors, lobbyists included — and violators will be prosecuted as felons.
Force officeholders to earn their salaries free from perks and subject to the same rules and regulations as their constituents. At that happy point it would be interesting to determine their motives for seeking office.
Campaign funds would be furnished by the federal government, equal amounts to each party to use as they see fit to get their candidates in office.
Sure — and foolhardy to think such an undertaking will ever happen.
But apathy and sitting on our hands will certainly fail to accomplish any reforms.
We should work at being informed instead of letting the media broadcast theirs to influence our thoughts and desires.
Don Pixley
China and carbon emissions
While China is indeed presently the world's largest net emitter of greenhouse gas emissions, the U.S., since the start of the Industrial Revolution, has been responsible for more cumulative emissions.
What many people might not yet know is that China has instituted a high-profile plan to curb greenhouse gas emissions.
That makes China one of the more than 40 national and 20 sub-national governmental jurisdictions that have either implemented or are considering carbon pricing mechanisms, according to the World Bank.
China has already started the first of its seven regional carbon markets, all of which are due to be operational by 2015.
Beijing and Shanghai will be next in line to launch their own carbon markets.
Carbon pricing for all sectors of its economy is expected by 2020.
As reported by Reuters, China's top climate official, Xie Zhenha, said that the new pricing programs will provide factories and power plants with a financial incentive to invest in cleaner technologies.
There are also hopes that if these markets prove successful, they will provide the foundation for a national carbon-trading system.
With these developments, the U.S. can no longer use China as an example of inaction on climate change nor use it as an excuse for our own lack of action.
Delay will only bring on more extreme weather catastrophes and more hardship on many levels.
Action, through a revenue-neutral carbon tax, can be an efficient, effective and equitable way to stabilize the climate and to give our country a market-based transition to an economy that is based on clean energy.

Net Art Powerhouse F.A.T. Lab Featured On PBS Arts [VIDEO]

Culture-jamming extraordinaires F.A.T. Lab get the PBS treatment on their Off Book program.

Culture-jamming extraordinaires F.A.T. Lab (Free Art and Technology Lab) received the PBS treatment via their Off Book program—a PBS Arts web series that explores experimental and cutting edge artistic media.
Founded in 2007, F.A.T. Lab is a loose collective of hackers and artists whose shared goal is to illuminate how we interact with the digital world. Online habits are deconstructed through projects such as Google Alarm, which rings an alarm every time Google indexes browsing habits, and KANYEFY, which converts all onscreen text to KanyeUniversecity-style all-caps bellowing. The notorious international web art site aggregates tech projects under the repurposed Linux mantra of "Release early, often, and with rap music," contributing a unique, irreverent voice to online culture—self-described as "the unsolicited viral marketing wing of the open-source movement."
The F.A.T. Lab collective furiously blends the different "worlds" today's connected citizens live in and empower culture consumers by turning browsers into modern art exhibitions. For example Dead Drops are USBs affixed to public walls, which turn over digital space to (often unpredictable) community usage. They also built a fake Google Street View car and rode around Germany, punking the locals and the international tech media while calling into question the monopolistic power Google wields over the internet and beyond. These are art hacks dialed straight into today's connected audience—"pop art for the web era."

Aztec Calendar 2012, What is it?
Those who are scratching their heads on the new term Aztec. I found this keyword when I was looking site stats. Some one reached to this site using this keyword. I was amazed to see this word. I thought what is this new thing called Aztec.
I Googled around and found that Aztec is also called as Mayan. Aztec is more polished name given to the pre-Columbian civilization. Aztec Calendar 2012 is the same calendar which is referred as Mayan Calendar. So what it means. It means nothing because if it meant something, it would be best known to Aztecs.
Actually, more polished and alien words are discovered to make it real that people start believing in hoax stories. And if you join hands with some dull Phd guys, you bring some credibility to false hypotheses. More boring expert, more real story becomes.
Does Aztec Calendar predict end of the world in 2012? No. Authenticity of Mayan Calendar is shrouded in mystery and the lesser known facts are available. There are no incidents which point to anything so far. World looks like going on its path. There is no deviation of any type so far. Be it Aztec or any damn calendar, it does not make sense at all because there is no science behind such theories. Read on this site, there are many posts written on this subject.

LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton (LVMH.PA), the world's leading luxury group, and G-III Apparel Group, Ltd. (NASDAQ: GIII), announced on Monday that they have entered into an agreement under which G-III will acquire Donna Karan International, Inc. for $650 million with debt from LVMH. The transaction, an unusual proposal for the French luxury giant, is expected to close in late 2016 or early 2017.
Donna Karan International, Inc. is the parent of the Donna Karan and DKNY brands. Donna Karan founded the brand in 1984 and it went public 12 years later. LVMH acquired the brand in 2001 and decided to reposition it by cutting costs and simplifying the branding.
In an interview, LVMH Fashion Group Chairman Pierre-Yves Roussel said the moves had begun to pay off, but that energizing the DKNY brand was a journey that would have taken time, according to Wall Street Journal.
DKNY's presence in department stores will be more suitable for G-III than LVMH. G-III has a comprehensive portfolio of over 30 licensed and proprietary brands such as Calvin Klein, Cole Haan and Tommy Hilfiger. "Donna Karan International is an iconic global fashion company," Morris Goldfarb, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of G-III, said, "Donna Karan brings increased scale and diversification, while providing incremental growth on top of our portfolio of some of the best fashion brands in the world."
G-III said it preliminarily expects the acquisition to be dilutive in the fiscal year ending January 31, 2018, and accretive thereafter. G-III New York listed stock plunged by 14.45% at the close of trading on Monday.
G-III plans to fund the acquisition through new indebtedness, $75 million of newly issued G-III common stock to LVMH, and a $75 million 6½ year seller note. In connection with the acquisition, G-III has obtained financing commitments from Barclays and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. for a $525 million ABL credit facility and a $450 million 6-year term loan.

Asset and Site Management
GlenMartin: Innovations for Generations
Our telecom project site development team offers asset and site management services on behalf of utility companies. Many existing facilities offer excellent locations for possible collocation of future antennas, support of optical fiber cabling, or microwave backhaul links. Our asset management team seeks long-term relationships with power transmission, distribution, and utility companies. Compliance and national safety standards must be met with dual-purpose facilities. Power Transmission structures and distribution facilities offer numerous telecommunication opportunities for improved wireless coverage. For complete infrastructure management, turn to our expert telecom consulting team for help.
On November 15, 2007, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) reaffirmed Pacific Gas & Electric Co.'s (PG&E) continued use of a revenue sharing mechanism via their findings posted in E-10, Docket No. EL07-91-000. The Commission determined that PG&E's revenue sharing mechanism for secondary products and services continue to provide an appropriate incentive. The commission further determined that revenues from such products and services will be maximized for the good of both the ratepayers and shareholders.
GlenMartin seeks to broker and advance telecommunication opportunities on behalf of the utility group. We maximize client relationship engagement opportunities with possible telecom co-location tenants. Our support includes initial utility power right-of-way lease negotiation for space on transmission facilities, utility towers, ground lease with right away and monopole access followed by ongoing management of these assets. GlenMartin's strong Carrier relationship model ensures communication is maintained at a very professional level. Is your utility company maximizing your pole access fees?
Let us negotiate on your behalf and maximize your revenue generation potential. Our inspection and auditing teams will verify consistency with the original agreements signed. It's not so uncommon to see additional telecommunication equipment collocated on a transmission structure or pole. Are you dealing with cable companies or communication service providers who won't honor your monopole access agreements? We ensure your facilities are properly utilized in accordance with contracts and agreements mutually signed. Together, let's make everyone's experience a better one. Mutual collaboration can benefit both the communication provider and the utility groups with all shareholders and ratepayers benefiting from improved telecom service.
Long-term asset and infrastructure management offer many potential opportunities. A few of these telecommunication opportunities include:
-Opex reduction to manage third party relationships
-Increased revenue generation with existing infrastructure
-Reduced difficulties in opportunity evaluation
-Better opportunities for consideration with greater frequency
-Improved application review process
-In-house structural and architectural planning team ensures your structure is not overloaded
-Possible structural upgrades ensure high quality, optimized performance, improved reliability and structural compliance
-Regular routine site visits and audits ensure your facilities are not being utilized improperly.
-Improved security and engagement with third-party groups that will touch the site
Call us at (800) 486-1223 to begin structuring a plan for your utility infrastructure! We are the infrastructure management team you can count on for superior service.

I'm mad over matcha. It has officially replaced espresso and coffee in my morning energizing beverage routine. Have you heard the buzz about this green tea beverage? Get seven facts that just may persuade you to trade in your coffee mug for a matcha whisk!..
The Buzz on Matcha: 7 Facts
1. Matcha is Green Tea. At its best.
You know all about green tea, right? It is rich in antioxidants, calorie free and filled with "healthy superfood" buzz. Well, matcha is green tea too. But instead of drinking the soaked tea leaves via tea bags or sachets, you are actually consuming the entire green tea leaf. Yup that is right. The entire leaf. Whole green tea leaves ground into a fine powder. So obviously all those same green tea drinking pluses get carried over into this beverage, and they are possibly amplified because of the more intense concentration of green tea you are consuming. "By consuming green tea in the form of matcha – as opposed to drinking it – you are consuming 10 to 15 times more nutrients," according to the American Tea Room matcha fact sheet.
2. Matcha is Versatile.
The traditional way to prepare matcha green tea is to whisk it slowly until it dissolves in warmish-hot water not too hot though! You want to see "shrimp eyes" as one matcha expert described the bubbles to me: there should be shrimp eye water bubbles forming just before the water reaches boiling. However, you don't have to drink matcha straight up, as matcha is quite versatile. I enjoy it in matcha shakes, such as in the secret ingredient matcha shake on Healthy. Happy. Life. You can even bake matcha into cookies and muffins and even pancakes! Of course, the antioxidant capacity of the matcha green tea is most likely best when consumed without interacting with high temperatures. Make matcha muffins and get more matcha facts.
3. Matcha is an Ancient Tradition.
Matcha tea drinking is a 800- or 900-year-old tradition. Teasan says, "In Japan, matcha has been drunk mainly by royalties, nobles, samurais and Buddhist monks for the last 900 years."
4. True Matcha is Rare.
True matcha is only produced in Japan. In fact, you can only find true Japanese matcha made in 4 regions, with Kyoto being the most sought-after regional matcha. "True genuine premium quality matcha is only produced in Japan, in 4 main areas: Uji/Kyoto, Shizuoka, Nishio and Sayama. Matcha produced in Uji / Kyoto are recognised in Japan to be the best. Kyoto is also known as the birthplace of green tea in Japan," says Teasan.
5. Matcha is Delicate.
Matcha is quite expensive when it comes to tea: prices for a small jar may range from 10 to 50 dollars. So storing your matcha to keep it at its best and freshest is key. Matcha is sensitive to light and heat, so store matcha in the fridge in an opaque container, like a tin, to preserve those precious antioxidants. Get more matcha storage facts on Zen Matcha Tea.
6. Matcha Without Dairy.
German researchers found that casein found in dairy milk binds to the delicate catechins in green tea, inhibiting the absorption. This means that you may want to skip the dairy milk in your matcha recipes and instead use soy, almond or rice milks, which are casein free. More info at Dr Weil's website.
7. Matcha is a Wonder Drink!
OK, so this last "fact" is really just speculation. But after researching the "health benefits" of matcha you will quickly find a laundry list of possible things including energy, focus, Zen or calmness, weight loss, improved digestion, clearer skin and on and on. While these health benefits are yet to be "proven" you can certainly try matcha for yourself and see how you feel. I personally love the slow release of energy I receive from my morning matcha shake and that Zen factor? Yes, I feel it! See all health benefits at Zen Matcha Tea.
Have you tried matcha tea? What do you think about its benefits?

Preliminary evidence that the long-proboscid fly, Philoliche gulosa, pollinates Disa karooica and its proposed Batesian model Pelargonium stipulaceum
Long-proboscid flies have been documented as the primary pollinators in several long-tubed floral guilds in southern Africa. These specialized pollination systems have become models for studying floral mimicry, adaptation, and coevolution. In this study we document a previously unknown pollinator of Pelargonium stipulaceum (L.f.) Willd. (Geraniaceae) and Disa karooica Johnson & Linder, a species within the Disa draconis complex (Orchidaceae), and propose the occurrence of a new floral model-mimic system in the semiarid interior of South Africa. We find that Philoliche gulosa Wiedemann (Tabanidae) is a pollinator of the putative floral model, Pelargonium stipulaceum and its floral mimic, Disa karooica. We document similarities in floral spur/tube length, spectral reflectance, absence of scent, presence of nectar guides, and overlapping phenology and distribution in these two sympatric plant species. We use colour spectrum analyses to test the idea that divergence in flower colour in the D. draconis complex is driven by adaptation to model Pelargonium species of different colours. © 2009 SAAB.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Two political groups that work to elect House Republicans say they're pumping a fresh $10 million into 15 congressional races. All the money is to defend GOP-held seats.
The money is being spent to protect Republican-represented districts in Arizona, California, Colorado, Iowa, Michigan, New York, Pennsylvania, Utah and Virginia.
The expenditures come as Republicans have expressed concerns that GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump's faltering campaign could hurt congressional candidates.
The groups are the American Action Network and the Congressional Leadership Fund.
Democrats would need to gain 30 seats to win House control. That has seemed unlikely, but their hopes have grown amid damaging reports involving Trump.
Several women have reported in recent days that Trump groped or kissed them without their consent. Trump has denied the allegations.
