First, let's get the basics out of the way. It's fully integrated into other Google products, and you get 5GB for free. If you're willing to pay for this service, you can upgrade to 25GB for $2.49/month, 100GB for $4.99/month, and 1TB for $49.99/month. If you go with an upgraded account, you'll get 25GB of Gmail storage, too. It'll be available for Windows and Apple PCs, iOS, and Android.
I've personally never understood the appeal of services like this. I'm old-fashioned, and would much rather carry the files I need around on a USB stick (or floppies before that). It gives me control, you can make it as secure as you want, and you're not dependent on the internet - a big deal when you move outside of the comfort zone of work-home-Starbucks.
Unless you're a hypocrite, you'll realise all these internet storage services suffer from a fatal flaw: a complete lack of privacy. SkyDrive, Dropbox, iCloud, and now Google Drive - there's absolutely no way to know what's being done with your data and who has access to it. There are privacy policies and terms of service, but in the end, they're only worth the paper they're written on. And they're digital, so go figure.
The big problem here is not that companies will inevitably use all this data to improve their products - there's some benefit to be had there for us, so that's not all that malevolent. What is problematic, however, is the fact these services operate out of the United States. And as little trust as I place in companies, I trust the US government even less.
The US has some frightening anti-privacy laws, and we've seen the extent to which the US is willing to go when it comes to things other countries would consider trivial. By storing all your data in the US, you're opening yourself up to a whole bunch of scary possibilities, and Apple, Google, Microsoft, Dropbox or whichever other US-based company will have no qualms about handing over your data to DC. I live in a country with well-developed personal freedoms, and from the top of my head, I can think of 5 things I've done which are completely normal and acceptable here, but would net me a hefty prison sentence in the US.
As such, it makes far more sense to look for local alternatives. Your local government is probably not that more trustworthy than the US one, but at least it's your government. You do have some form of control over them. Better yet, you'll be able to do something about possible abuse through your local court system, instead of being a foreigner in a US courtroom - a fate I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.
If you really do need an internet storage service, I would be extremely careful about what you store in there, and gain at least some basic insight into things that might be normal to you, but are illegal in the US.
Better yet - set up your own internet storage service. In a broadband-rich country like The Netherlands, it's fairly trivial to set up your own always-on server with secure remote login (if you know of a decent software package, preferably open source, put it in the comments) to access your files. I have 120 MBit/s down and 10 Mbit/s up, without caps, and it's dirt-cheap - you can easily run a personal internet storage server with a connection like that.
In fact, this could be a pretty huge market: a simple and cheap plug-and-play device offering the same functionality as Dropbox or Google Drive. Open source, so you know what's going on. Secure and encrypted, so your stuff is safe. At home, so you know your data won't be abused. Local, so you don't have to fear foreign governments.
That would convert me to internet storage.

The future of data protection and transatlantic cooperation
Speech at the 2nd Annual European Data Protection and Privacy Conference
Brussels, 6 December 2011
Ladies and Gentlemen,
I am happy to be with you today at the second annual European Data Protection and Privacy Conference. I am glad to see so many esteemed colleagues and experts from the United States. With such an audience, I am sure that we will come away from this conference fired up with bright new ways to ensure data protection on both sides of the Atlantic.
I would to talk about the current data protection and privacy landscape in Europe and challenges for the future of trans-Atlantic cooperation. I will also give a preview of what I have in mind to ensure the fundamental right to data protection here in Europe.
Firstly, how do we in the European Commission see data protection and privacy today? You know perfectly well how much technology has progressed and how the world has become much smaller over the past 16 years, since our current Data Protection Directive was created.
In the digital age, the collection and storage of personal information are essential. Data is used by all businesses – from insurance firms and banks to social media sites and search engines. In a globalised world, the transfer of data to third countries has become an important factor in daily life.
We all know that data is a key economic asset. Vast amounts of personal information are transferred and exchanged every day, around the globe in fractions of seconds. We need to facilitate these exchanges if we are to encourage innovation and stimulate growth. But we also need to protect the rights of those whose personal data is transferred to third countries, outside the European Union.
So how are we doing this in Europe?
I want to create a level playing field for companies and create rules which are business-friendly. I want to simplify the rules and eliminate unnecessary costs and administrative burdens. Inconsistent rules hold back businesses. If we want to encourage companies to take advantage of new technologies and operate across borders, we need to make the rules simpler.
One good tool which facilitates secure transfers of data is binding corporate rules. These codes of practice are based on European data protection standards. Businesses adopt them to ensure adequate safeguards for transfers of data between companies, even those situated outside the European Union. Once approved by our data protection authorities, they become legally binding. In my reform I want to make it easier for companies to develop such rules and have them approved.
I also want to simplify the regulatory environment. I want to introduce one data protection law in Europe and have one single data protection authority for each business. The rule is simple: A business will be subject to the data protection authority in the Member State of its main establishment in the EU. To get it consistently done, we need reinforced cooperation between fully fledged data protection authorities in our Member States.
All these measures will allow companies to sell goods and services under the same rules to 500 million people. This massive market is a huge opportunity for companies surrounded by clear legal rules.
This is for business side. However, this must not be done at the expense of individuals' rights. Their data needs to be properly protected. We Europeans place a high value on privacy and data protection: The right to protection of personal information is enshrined in our Treaty and our Charter of Fundamental Rights.
This is why I will propose a new European law on data protection next month. It will replace the law from 1995, when the full potential of the internet had not yet been realised. In a world of ever-increasing connectivity, our fundamental right to data protection is in this moment seriously tested. Although the basic principles and objectives of the 1995 Directive remain valid, the rules need to be adapted to new technological challenges.
People are sharing more and more personal information online and it is now important to ensure their rights. For this reason, the reform of EU data protection rules will include easier access to one's own data, and better data portability so that it is simple for users to transfer their data between providers.
I also want to establish the famous right to be forgotten, which will build on existing rules to better cope with privacy risks online. I believe this right is very important in a world of increased connectivity and the unlimited search and storage. If users no longer want their data to be stored, and if there is no good reason to keep it online anymore, the data should be removed.
Solid rules are good for consumers but they are also good for internet companies. Because they create legal certainty - they enhance users' trust. To flourish, the digital economy needs trust. Consumers must have confidence when giving personal information online. Otherwise, they are hesitant to buy online and accept new digital services. Clear rules are needed for the transfer of data outside the EU. This is why my proposals pay utmost attention to international transfers.
Transfers are not only important in the commercial field. They are also important for police and judicial cooperation. Our current law in this area only sets standards for data when it is transferred between Member States, but not when treated inside Member States themselves. This means that the rights of citizen depend on which EU Member State is processing their data.
I want, in this reform, to introduce the same rules for both cross-border and domestic processing for law enforcement purposes. This will enhance mutual trust between police forces in different Member States and improve the free flow of data in the fight against crime.
As you can see, we in the EU are doing our job. And I could stop my speech here. But this is a globalised world and we are also counting on others to take data protection seriously. We also need others to build trust – both in the commercial and law enforcement fields.
I am reading in the press more and more about European internet companies offering a cloud computing service which stays in Europe. Just yesterday I read about a Swedish company whose selling point is that they shelter users from the US Patriot Act and other attempts by third countries to access personal data.
Well, I do encourage cloud computing centres in Europe - because we need more innovation, more research and more investment in the ICT industry. But this cannot be the only solution. We need free flow of data between our continents. And it doesn't make much sense for us to retreat from each other.
You might remember that last year I welcomed the Democrat-Republican joint initiative on data protection. In April, Senator John Kerry and Senator John McCain introduced a draft Commercial Privacy Bill of Rights. It made headlines. The Senators made clear that a federal law is necessary to ensure the protection of privacy in the United States. They argued that the U.S. government had a substantial interest in creating a level playing field for all collectors of personal data both in the U.S. and abroad. This sounded encouraging indeed!
However, I have been told that only voluntary codes of conduct based on multi-stakeholder consultations are envisaged. Well, I hope I got it wrong – because I am worried that US 'self-regulation' will not be sufficient to achieve full interoperability between the EU and US.
I spoke to you earlier about our approach in the law enforcement area. This is also an area where we can do better in our trans-Atlantic relations. You might know that we are currently negotiating a data protection agreement with the US. And we will still need to achieve substantial progress to conclude these negotiations in 2012. I hope we will manage to do it.
Europeans should be confident that their rights are respected whenever their personal information is transmitted in Europe or over the Atlantic for law enforcement purposes.
Ladies and Gentlemen, this is how I see the current landscape in data protection and privacy. Trust has been at the core of the relationship between the EU and US. We need to make sure that future developments in data protection enhance this trust – based on firm legal grounds on both sides of the Atlantic. I hope our reform of data protection rules in the EU can be an inspiration for such changes in the US and elsewhere.
Thank you.

Report shows overall positive impact of mobility of Bulgarian and Romanian workers on EU economy
A new report published by the European Commission highlights the overall positive role that mobile workers from Bulgaria and Romania (EU-2) have played in receiving countries' economies.
These workers have contributed to the skills mix as well as filling vacancies in sectors and jobs with labour shortages such as in construction and the domestic and food services sectors.
Estimates also show a positive impact of the free movement of Romanian and Bulgarian workers on the EU's long-term GDP with an increase by about 0.3% for EU-27 (0.4% for eu-15).
Studies show too that there has been no significant impact on unemployment or wages of local workers in receiving countries: in the EU-15 studies show wages are on average only 0.28% lower they would have been without mobility of the EU-2.
The report also highlights that there is no evidence of a disproportionate use of benefits by intra-EU mobile EU citizens and that the impact of recent flows on national public finances is negligible or positive.
The Commission report will serve as the basis on which the Council will carry out a review of how the transitional arrangements on free movement of Bulgarian and Romanian workers have worked in practice.

The state will be holding a meeting Nov. 8 to determine the future of the historic Fort DuPont.
The Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control is looking for public input on how it will go forward with the development of the 443-acre property between Delaware City and the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal.
The site, which is listed as a National Historic District, houses several state agencies including DNREC's Division of Parks and Recreation, the Department of Health and Social Services' Governor Bacon Health Center, and the Delaware National Guard.
"The redevelopment of the property at Fort DuPont offers the state and the city a unique opportunity to better preserve the historical significance and heritage of a very important part of history," said Delaware City Mayor John Buchheit.
According to DNREC, Fort DuPont is Delaware's least visited State Park and it is considered underutilized. Officials also said that many of the historic buildings are in poor condition and coastal storms and floods threaten the historic infrastructure.
A team of local partners and international designers will perform critical analyses en route to proposing option for the reuse of what was once a bustling military post along the Delaware River.
Some of the designers will include Sasaki Associates Inc., of Watertown, Mass., and Tetra Tech of Newark.
Other efforts being made to improve the historic park include extensive public engagement, a real estate and economic development analysis, and an in-dept review of the historic buildings, their condition and restoration potential.
Sasaki Associates will share preliminary observations of the Fort DuPont Complex at the first community meeting Nov. 8.
Following the presentation, community members will share their goals and aspirations for the property at interactive workgroup tables.
Delaware City is a key partner in the project, DNREC officials said.
Fort DuPont originated during the Civil War and was named after Rear Admiral Samuel Francis DuPont.
The fort defended the area along the Delaware River from naval attacks through 1921 and was a main defense site during World War I.
During World War II, Fort DuPont housed prisoners of war from Germany's Afrika Corps.
It was decommissioned after the war and in 1947, the Governor Bacon Health Center opened on site.
The site contains six Endicott Era gun batteries, named for President Grover Cleveland's Secretary of War, William C. Endicott.
The Endicott Era lasted from 1885 until 1905.
What Community meeting on future of Fort DuPont
When Nov. 8 at 7 p.m.
Where Delaware City Fire Hall
815 Fifth Street, Delaware City, Del.

The buyer was 3695-3723 Riverdale Road Holdings LLC, an affiliate of Bethesda, Md.-based special servicer CWCapital Asset Management LLC, which acquired the property in a March 24 deed from successor trustee Joseph R. Prochaska, shareholder with the Nashville law firm Prochaska Quinn & Ferraro PC.
Though the sale closed in March, the Shelby County Register of Deeds didn't record the sale until last week.
The center's Florida-based owner, Germantown Plaza LLC, entered into foreclosure after defaulting on $1.4 million loan through Column Financial Inc. dated June 13, 2003. The owner had assumed the loan from the property's previous owner, Germantown Plaza GP, during a 2008 sale.
Built in 1984, the Class C retail center sits on 1.6 acres on the west side of Riverdale Road just south of its intersection with Winchester Road. The Shelby County Assessor of Property's 2013 appraisal was $726,500.

Shelby County Commissioners vote Monday, May 12, on the return of a planned development at the northwest corner of Austin Peay Highway and Millington-Arlington Road by First Citizens National Bank.
The bank had proposed in June 2013 a rezoning of the open land for several uses, which drew concern from the Rosemark Civic Association. First Citizens later withdrew the application.
The new application remains for a commercial center that would have offices, retail sales and restaurants – fewer of the possibilities than the earlier application.
Also on the commission's agenda is a vote on a $1.7 million contract with B Four Plied Inc. to put a new roof on the county government building at 1075 Mullins Station Road. The commission has delayed that vote twice.

Tuition increases could be in store for many college students in Tennessee.
The Tennessean reports that some public universities could see increases of between 4 and 8 percent to offset reduced state funding. Community college students could see an increase of between 2.6 and 10.6 percent.
Officials at a Tennessee Board of Regents Finance Committee meeting on Thursday reviewed estimated increases at each school.
The University of Memphis submitted a plan to avoid an increase. Projected increases at other schools varied.
Officials say the numbers are preliminary. Formal tuition proposals will be ready on May 27.
Tuition recommendations for the University of Tennessee system will be ready on June 19, but UT officials have discussed an increase of 4 to 6 percent.
Although the Tennessee Higher Education Commission recommended an increase of $29.6 million for higher education, the state budget eliminated any new funding. Universities had projected a smaller tuition increase even if the state funding had been approved.
"You just do the math, and instead of 2 to 4 percent, you end up being at 4 to 8 percent," TBR Chancellor John Morgan said. "That's fairly consistent with what you're seeing – at least at this stage of the conversation with the institutions."

U.S. wholesale businesses increased their stockpiles in March by the largest amount in five months while sales increased at the fastest clip in 10 months.
Wholesale stockpiles rose 1.1 percent in March after a 0.7 percent gain in February, the Commerce Department reported Friday. It was the ninth consecutive monthly gain and the largest increase since a 1.2 percent rise in October.
The sizable gain in sales should encourage businesses to keep restocking their shelves to meet rising demand. That will mean increased orders to factories and rising production, which would boost economic growth.
In the January-March quarter, the economy slowed to a barely discernible growth rate of 0.1 percent after growth of 2.6 percent in the October-December quarter. A slowdown in inventory building subtracted 0.6 percentage point from first quarter growth.
But economists expect the drag from a slowdown in inventory building will ease in the second quarter. The big rise in March inventories supports that view, indicating that there was growing momentum headed into the second quarter.
Many analysts are looking for growth to easily top 3 percent in the second quarter with the most optimistic saying the economy may surge to growth above 4 percent, reflecting pent-up demand from consumer spending that was delayed during the harsh winter.
Analysts think that growth will hold above 3 percent in the second half of this year. If that forecast proves accurate, it would mean the country will enjoy the strongest year for the economy since 2005, two years before the Great Recession hit.
U.S. employers advertised slightly fewer jobs and slowed hiring a bit in March, though the declines came after healthy gains the previous month. The figures suggest the job market is improving in fits and starts.
The Labor Department said Friday that employers posted 4 million jobs in March, down 2.7 percent from February. But February's total nearly matched November's for the highest level of openings since January 2008, when the Great Recession was just beginning.
The report also showed that February's data for hiring and quits was revised much higher, indicating that the job market was in better shape that month than initially estimated. It's a good sign when more people quit their jobs, because most people do so to take a new position, frequently at higher pay.
Quitting also opens up a position that someone out of work can take.
The number of people quitting their jobs in both February and March reached the highest level since July 2008, Friday's report said.
Total hiring, meanwhile, dipped 1.6 percent to 4.63 million in March. That's below the 5 million monthly hires that are typical for a healthy job market. But it's 7.5 percent higher than 12 months earlier.
And nearly 4.7 million people were hired in February, almost matching September's total, which was the most since June 2008.
"Overall, despite the decline in vacancies, the fundamentals of the labor market continue to improve, supporting steady recovery," said Jeremy Schwartz, an analyst at Credit Suisse.

22 Top Game No-Gi Combinations In Less Than 3 Min – Jason Scully
Well, it's been a little while since I shared a new Short But Sweet reference video with you so I decided that it was time for me to make another one. I'm extremely grateful for all of the positive feedback that I have been receiving from everyone about all of my videos and content.
Whether I show a ton of techniques in a short amount of time or if I show a detailed instructional video, that feedback has all been great! To be able to help so many people around the world has been a dream come true.
In this video that I'm sharing with you, I demonstrate 22 no-gi combinations that you can do while you have different top controls on your opponent.
Now it's VERY important to note, that this video is just a demo so you may not get all of the details but if you watch it over again a few times and try to study it with a partner then I really believe you may even benefit more because then you'll learn how to study your grappling with a more analytical approach and you'll also practice brainstorming at the same time.
Also take note, that all of these combinations in the video do work but your success is HIGHLY dependent on your timing, your opponent's reaction, you're position, and understanding what your opponent may do next. So while you'll get a lot of great ideas, just knowing "of" these combinations won't help you alone. You really need to drill them and practice them.
If you have any questions please feel free to ask. Also if there was anything that you learned from any of the content I shared that helped you, please feel free to e-mail me and share. I love hearing from everyone!
Hope you like the video.
Talk to you soon,
Jason Scully

EB Games prices PS4 at AU $899
The Australian arm of games retailer EG Games has gone live with PS4 pre-orders at an eye-watering AU $899.
In real money that equates to over 600 – to be specific, current exchange rates pin it at 606.55.
There are two important things to note, however. Firstly, the placeholder price will be based purely on guesswork and not on official pricing. Indeed, the site admits that the final price is yet to be decided".
Secondly, Australia is a pricey region for gamers, so don't expect that price to translate directly across the globe.
In the UK retailer GAME is allowing customers to pre-order the machine for a 20 deposit, though it has not announced its final price for the hardware as of yet.
Rumours seem to point to a possible 300 price for the machine, although don't be surprised to see it come in higher – especially if Sony launches entry-level and pro-level SKUs.

VIDEO #2: Country Coach's Revival Continues
April 29, 2011 by RVBusiness Comments Off on VIDEO #2: Country Coach's Revival Continues
Watch today's Video #2, courtesy of KVAL-TV, Eugene, Ore.
The service bays are full at the resurrected Country Coach in Junction City, Ore., proof for owner Ron Lee that the RV business still has a pulse.
Breathing new life into the ailing industry is one of the jobs of the Oregon RV Alliance, a non-profit marketing group that formed in December.
"I believe it's going to be a big asset to our business here," Lee said.
"The goal is, our mission statement is to expose RV owners to the benefits of spending their leisure time here in Oregon," said Brad Waring, the alliance's executive director.
So far, 40 RV dealerships, service centers, community festival groups and local winers have joined the alliance – and membership is growing.
"We really are as entrepreneurs collaborating and kind of doubling up all our efforts," said Danuta Pfeiffer from Pfeiffer Winery.
The idea is to market Lane County as an RV destination for people coming to service their rigs and check out the sights.
"So why not take advantage of that and focus them on us and our location here?" Lee said.
There is an RV rally going on in Harrisburg, attracting visitors and helping a broader segment of the economy beyond just manufacturing.
"This is going to be a resurgence of our part of the RV industry here. What we're doing is to bring it back."
"We are really muscling our way into a showcase area for our visitors," Pfeiffer said.

Indian captive William Wells is killed
Potawatomi Indians kill William Wells, an Indian captive turned Indian fighter.
Born in Pennsylvania in 1770, Wells migrated with his family to Kentucky when he was nine years old. Five years later he was captured by Miami Indians and adopted into the family of the Wea village chief Gaviahatte. The young boy quickly adapted to Indian ways. He became a distinguished warrior and married the daughter of a prominent Miami war chief.
For several years, Wells fought with the Miami against American soldiers attempting to push them off their land. In 1792, however, the army captured his wife and adopted mother. In exchange for their freedom, Wells agreed to join the American army as an interpreter. A reunion with a long lost brother helped reinforce the allegiance of Wells to the Americans, though his loyalties remained conflicted for the rest of his life.
For several years, Wells was an invaluable scout and interpreter for the U.S. Army, helping the Americans defeat the hostile factions of the Miami and other tribes. In 1797, he was appointed Indian agent for the Miami, Delaware, Potawatomi, and other tribes of the Old Northwest (the modern-day Midwest). Yet, increasing pressure for the Indians to give up their lands to white settlers led to renewed conflicts, and Wells was often caught between the two groups.
The outbreak of the War of 1812 with Great Britain heightened an already tense situation as some Indians saw the war as chance to join forces with the British to push out the Americans. Concerned about the safety of the Americans at Fort Dearborn (in Chicago), where his niece was married to the fort commander, Wells quickly raised a rescue party of 30 Miami Indians who were loyal to him and the United States and headed north. When he arrived on August 13, he found the fort surrounded by hostile Indians. Wells argued for staying at the fort and making a stand until a larger force of American soldiers could arrive. But the commander insisted on evacuation.
On this day in 1812, Wells led a small company of men, women, and children out of the fort. They had not gone far before hundreds of Potawatomi Indians ambushed the party, killing more than 50 and taking the remainder captive. Wells, who was dressed and painted as a Miami warrior, fought heroically but was eventually shot through the lungs. When he fell from his horse, witnesses claimed the Potawatomi swarmed over his body, cut out his heart, and divided it among them.

Ferrari's Fernando Alonso fastest in last practice for Bahrain GP; Red Bull's Seb Vettel next
SAKHIR, Bahrain – Ferrari driver Fernando Alonso recovered from a spin Saturday to post the fastest lap in the third and final Formula One practice session for the Bahrain Grand Prix.
Looking for his second consecutive victory after ending a 12-race drought in China last weekend, Alonso completed a lap in 1:33.247 to finish 0.101 head of three-time defending F1 champion Sebastian Vettel.
Red Bull teammate Mark Webber was third fastest, with Lotus driver Kimi Raikkonen finishing fourth.
Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton was fifth but his session came to an end when he damaged his left back tire.
A different driver has topped the three sessions, suggesting a wide open race Sunday that has been overshadowed by anti-government protesters who are demanding a greater say in the divided Gulf nation.

Imagine a world in which it's possible to estimate the total monetary value of all the material resources of the planet. Then, in combination with accurate population data, each new child is granted ownership of their fair share at birth – one seven billionth of all of the world's titanium, eggs, tea etc. And because certain resources such as titanium require the cooperation of others to collectively use for mutual benefit, that it is predominantly a world of group ownership. Each group or company is only allowed to operate on that share of the world's resources allocated to its members, though they can trade their rights with one another to engage in operations with other resources. Maximum limits are set, so that any one company cannot acquire rights, either through its own inherent size, or through trading, to more than an agreed percentage of any resource. And if any company is unable to show that it is putting its allocation of resources to good planetary use, which would necessarily involve the fair re-distribution of either the resources themselves, or products based upon them, then its right to exist for that purpose is revoked.
The details of such an imaginary world structure could be endlessly elaborated, but the question is, would this world, independent of the inheritance of previous concentrations of wealth or power, or the lucky accident of geography, be a fairer and happier place to live in? Curiously, while the vision appears to embrace the idea of the 'one humanity', it has an unsettling undercurrent, something akin to a benign "big brother" feel wherein the spirit of sharing, goodwill and right human relationships is eclipsed by an excessive scrutiny and control of the matter aspect of the planet. Perhaps the key problem is that the vision doesn't actually address the concept of ownership itself. As long as we hold on to the idea that we are entitled to own material property too rigorously – be it a piece of land, a house, a car, the oil, gas and minerals of the earth, a business, etc. isn't it likely that the human species will continue to be bound and imprisoned in the material world? For too intensive a focus on 'ownership' can inhibit the spirit of sharing, especially where large amounts of material wealth (money and profits) are concerned. And this tends to produce more separativeness. The willingness to share unfolds gradually as human consciousness is freed from the control of material forces. So while humanity must continue to use the substance of the material world and draw out the beauty it contains, should we continue to possess it at all costs? Surely this can only hold us back from realising the spiritual objective of sharing.
Given human ingenuity, and the increasing power of technology to collect, store, and process data, it is not beyond our intellectual grasp to move in the direction of this imaginary world, but it would surely be putting the cart before the horse. If the spirit of goodwill were alive in the majority of the human race then it could conceivably work, but equally, if the spirit of goodwill was dynamically active the system wouldn't be needed in the first place. Right sharing concerns the general resources of the planet rather than the meticulous scrutiny and division of every single resource. Imagine the laborious detail of monitoring every world resource, many of which are continually fluctuating or being transformed, feeding it into central computers to work out precise percentages and shares. Take a random selection of resources such as the titanium, tea and eggs mentioned above. Titanium and other mineral wealth belong to the Earth; they are "God-given" resources that just happen to lie under that portion of the Earth's surface that some lucky nations currently occupy, and this happenstance is interpreted as ownership, which is where the fundamental problem lies. Eggs and tea are crops, so to speak – grown or nurtured by human beings and therefore more reasonably considered the property of those who planted and fed them. Another problem is that the breakdown of resources by the size of population seems questionable because it could be misinterpreted as promoting population expansion - more babies equals more wealth.
As we further explore a vision that might initially be appealing to people of goodwill, we start to see the multitude of problems that arises when anything more than a general sharing of the world's resources to alleviate hunger and poverty is pursued.The dynamic of goodwill lifts the focus of attention away from all this complexity towards the quality of human relationships and the spiritual realms rather than the mathematics of ownership of this and that in the material world.Moreover, the spirit of goodwill has a sacrificial impulse to it that cares not for its own equal share of 'things' but thrives in the service of others and the stimulation of spiritual quality in all relationships in all kingdoms of nature. As far as the planet is concerned this points the way to stewardship rather than ownership. One example of a nation demonstrating this spirit of goodwill was the response of Norway some twenty years ago to the discovery of the vast oil fields in its territory of the North Sea. Rather than doling out the ensuing wealth to each individual Norwegian, Norway, a society that was previously quite poor in comparison to the other Scandinavian nations, has used vast amounts of its newfound wealth to aid other countries. Per capita, Norway is the most generous nation on Earth in terms of foreign aid. What an inspirational lead Norway gives to the world, like a shining light against the dark matrix of greed and material hoarding. It is to be hoped that other nations will catch and follow the light and alter their behaviour accordingly. This spirit of sharing, that rises above ownership, is surely the only way to address major world problems such as pollution, global warming and the problem of the ever shrinking rainforests.
Any vision of the future has to be grounded in where humanity stands now and the next pragmatic step forward to be taken. Sometimes scarcity or severe crisis brings about a sudden shift in thinking and attitudes and demands a totally fresh approach. It is through the current planetary crisis that the spirit of goodwill is being activated and humanity is learning that solutions can only be found based on cooperation and sharing. Goodwill affirms that rather than each person owning his or her own bit of the planet, humanity as a whole is the earth's steward, and while the essentials should be shared by one and all to maintain good health, the focus is ever on the invisible, intangible qualities of the soul.It is only then that we realise that sharing is a basic way in which energy circulates to create and reinforce relationships. The sharing of the air we breathe, the water we drink, the etheric web that unites all forms, is the expression of our sharing of the One life which animates us all.

Rated 2 out of 5 by hjd1221 from Not a huge fan This dress was all right. I bought this in both the black and red, but returned the red because it was a little too orange looking for me. I decided to keep the black because I needed a black dress for the party I was attending, and had no other options. I liked how if you really pull the dress down you can make it a little longer and it has a scoop back, but that's about it. I'm 5'7 and 119 pounds, and this dress was surprisingly skintight. It showed every lump and bump in an unflattering way, and the only panties you can wear with this is a seamless thong. The material is thin, cheap, and snags easily. I worried the whole night I was going to get a run in it or pull a stitch. It can be dressed up with the right shoes and accessories, but otherwise a very plain, basic dress. I got it at Black Friday for $41, and it isn't worth a penny more.

Rated 5 out of 5 by fitprincess50 from great black dress This dress looks good a pair of high heel shoes or you can wear it with leggings and some ankle boots. It fits to size and I got it in black so it shows nice curves but looks very slimming. I also wore a big belt to accessorize it. You can't go wrong with this one!

GH1116, Reviewed October 1993
Flour is the main ingredient in baked products such as cakes, cookies, pastry, quick breads, yeast breads and rolls. It is also used to thicken sauces, gravies and puddings.
To measure flour, spoon it into a measuring cup. As you work, try not to bump the cup with the spoon. This will pack the flour, resulting in more flour than needed. Flour does not have to be sifted before it is measured.
Flour must be kept cool and dry. Warm, damp conditions cake and pack flour and provide the right environment for insects to hatch in it.
Flour must be packaged in a vapor-proof material, because it readily absorbs odors. Do not store flour near soap powder, onions or other foods and products with strong odors.
Flour that is properly stored will keep for six to eight months. If you have a large bag of flour to store, try these hints:
All-purpose flour is usually enriched with iron and the B vitamins — thiamin, riboflavin and niacin. Iron helps build healthy blood; the B vitamins help the body grow at a normal rate. Read the label on the flour package to check the amounts of each nutrient provided.
Mix 2 cups of the flour with the sugar, yeast and salt. Heat milk and shortening together over low heat until warm. Stir into flour mixture. Add egg and beat well. Mix in enough of the remaining flour to make a soft dough that leaves the sides of the bowl.
Knead on a lightly floured surface until dough is smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Place in a lightly greased bowl and turn over once to grease upper side of dough. Cover and let rise in a warm place (80 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit) until almost double in size (1 to 1-1/2 hours). Press dough down to remove air bubbles.
Shape dough into 24 balls and place in two greased 9-inch square or round pans or make fancy-shaped rolls. Let rise in a warm place until double in size (about 1 hour). Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (hot). Bake rolls 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown. Remove from pan and cool on rack.
Makes 24 large rolls.
Mix dry ingredients thoroughly in large container (6- to 8-quart capacity). Cut in shortening with pastry blender or mixer until fine crumbs are obtained and shortening is well-blended. Store tightly covered in refrigerator. Use within 3 months. Use for muffins, carrot-raisin cookies and tuna pizza. (See other recipes.)
Makes about 15 cups mix.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (hot). Lightly grease muffin tins.
Stir biscuit mix and sugar. Mix water and egg thoroughly and add to dry ingredients. Stir until barely moistened. Batter will be lumpy. Fill muffin tins two-thirds full. Bake until lightly browned, about 20 minutes.
Makes 12 muffins.
Preheat over to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (hot). Lightly grease two large baking sheets or 12-inch pizza pans.
Stir biscuit mix and water together until mix is barely moistened. Knead 15 times on a lightly floured surface. Divide in half. Pat or roll dough into a 12-inch circle on each baking pan. Turn up edge of dough slightly to form a rim. Bake until surface begins to dry, about 6 minutes. Stir oregano and garlic powder into puree. Spread over hot crusts. Sprinkle with tuna and onion and top with cheese. Bake until cheese is melted and crust is golden brown, about 15 minutes.
Makes 8 servings.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (moderate). Lightly grease baking sheet.
Beat margarine and sugar with an electric mixer at medium speed until well blended, about 2 minutes (or 300 times by hand). Add egg and vanilla. Beat well. Add biscuit mix and cinnamon and mix until blended. Add raisins and carrot and mix well. Drop by teaspoons onto baking sheet, about 2 inches apart. Flatten slightly with spoon. Bake until set but not dry, about 10 minutes. Remove from baking sheet while still warm. Cool on rack.
Makes 48 cookies.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (moderate). Lightly grease 8-inch square baking pan.
Mix 3 tablespoons butter or margarine with granulated sugar. Add egg and beat until creamy. Mix flour, baking powder and salt thoroughly. Add to sugar mixture alternately with milk. Add vanilla. Spread batter evenly in baking pan. Mix brown sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle over batter. Dot with 2 tablespoons butter or margarine. Bake 25 to 30 minutes.
Makes 6 servings.

Seib & Wessel: World Economy's Great Uncertainty

WoW: Is it worth gearing up for MoP
The idea behind this is to make the MoP content easier once we get there. It usually means that we will actually keep our gear a level or two instead of replacing it with the first thing we get as a quest reward.
I actually quite like getting upgrades at the start of a new expansion, and dont mind losing my "hard earned" epics. Then again, I did not do any raiding in Cata. I went to Tol Barad to do bosses there a couple of times and that was the extent of it.
That brings up another question. Do you feel like all of that raiding time was wasted because you upgrade your gear in two seconds?
I imagine if you only raid for new gear, that would be the case. If you raid because you enjoy it, that may not be the case.
I will continue helping everyone get the gear they need for a couple of reasons.
1) It will help them level easier and we will be able to do max level group content sooner.
2) Some of the group are actually gearing for roles they have not traditionally done. Fett is starting to tank on his warrior, my wife wants to try healing on her druid, and another of our has already started to heal on her Paladin.
The new roles are nice, because it opens up some options down the road. If I dont want to bring Darraxus, I wont have to.
My main goals prior to Mists is to level my 83 Mage the rest of the way, finish leveling the two alchemists I have that are not maxed out, and sell a crap ton of glyphs when the last pre-expansion patch comes out.

Is it worth gearing now? I think "Why not?" It's not a waste of time if you're getting something out of it, which seems to be the case. These tier set bonuses will soon be a thing of the past, so enjoying them now (and cross-training roles) will expand each person's experience in a way that may not be available ever again.
From Wrath to Cata, I only had 1 leveled and geared character, my Hunter, in full T10. About the time Cata quest rewards were upgrades (82-83), I was thinking, "About time, I'm sick of looking at these pieces."

I've never minded replacing gear at the beginning of new expansions. That's the fun of it to me!

I would not ever say it was a waste.. but if you can buy greens in MoP from some Panda that are almost as good as your current stuff then it gets a little discouraging.

Quite honestly, I'm trying to pick up the tanking pieces from the Twilight Heroics because I like the way it looks in green. If anything, it might be the one that replaces my Purple Judgement set.

WASHINGTON (AP) — 12:35 p.m.
The Office of Al Franken
Minnesota Republicans are reaching out to former Gov. Tim Pawlenty about running in a race to replace Sen. Al Franken.
Franken says he is resigning after accusations by several women of sexual misconduct. That sets up a November 2018 election to serve the final two years of his term.
Republicans have also identified former Sen. Norm Coleman as a possible candidate.
Coleman has already posted on his personal Facebook page that he won't run. He narrowly lost to Franken in 2008 in a close election that included a monthslong vote count.
Pawlenty ran for president in 2012.
12:30 p.m.
Sen. Al Franken says he's been an advocate for women. That's even as he resigns amid a torrent of sexual misconduct accusations.
The Minnesota Democrat says he's used his position "to be a champion of women." He says despite the allegations, "I know who I really am."
He says, "Even on the worst day of my political life, I feel like it's all been worth it."
Franken is serving his ninth year as senator. He says he'll resign in the coming weeks.
12:20 p.m.
Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton and Lt. Governor Tina Smith have released statements following the announcement of Senator Al Franken's coming resignation from the United States Senate.
The following is a statement from Governor Mark Dayton:
"I extend my deepest regrets to the women, who have had to endure their unwanted experiences with Senator Franken. As a personal friend, my heart also goes out to Al and his family during this difficult time.
"In other respects, Al Franken has been an outstanding Senator. He has been, as Senator Paul Wellstone used to say, 'A Senator from the Democratic Wing of the Democratic Party.' He is very smart, very hard-working, and very committed to Minnesota. I wish him well in his future endeavors.
"Events have unfolded quickly; thus, I have not yet decided on my appointment to fill this upcoming vacancy. I expect to make and announce my decision in the next couple of days.
"I will have no further comments on this subject until that time."
The following is a statement from Lt. Governor Tina Smith:
"Senator Franken has been a servant to the people of Minnesota, and a champion for working people during his time in the Senate. I thank him for his service. On this difficult day, I am holding Senator Franken, his family, and those who have worked beside him over the last decade to make this country a better place, in my thoughts.
"I also am thinking today about the many women around the country who have come forward in recent months to share their stories about sexual harassment. Sexual harassment can never be tolerated in our politics, our businesses, or anywhere else.
"Now, it is on all of us to come together and make the progress necessary to live up to the values we believe in. Governor Dayton and I remain committed to ensuring that Minnesota is a place where everyone has the opportunity to realize their full potential."
12:10 p.m.
Democratic senators, staff and family members were somber yet emotional as they watched Minnesota Sen. Al Franken say he would resign.
Franken's family members sat in the Senate gallery, some of them crying. Staff lined up in the back of the chamber, stone faced. And around 18 Democratic senators quietly listened to his speech on the floor. No Republicans were present except the chamber's presiding officer, Alaska Sen. Dan Sullivan.
Democrats who sat and listened to Franken's speech included Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York, Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar and New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, the first to call Wednesday for Franken to resign.
Franken was facing multiple sexual misconduct allegations. After his 11 minute speech, Democrats lined up to hug him.
12:05 p.m.
Minnesota Sen. Al Franken says he'll resign in the coming weeks. He's repeatedly apologized as several women accused him of sexually inappropriate behavior, and as his support from fellow Democrats evaporated.
The Minnesota lawmaker took to the Senate floor to say, "I may be resigning my seat, but I am not giving up my voice." He says he'll addressing issues as an activist.
Franken says he can't go through a Senate Ethics Committee investigation and effectively represent his state at the same time.
In remarks that lasted 11 minutes, he said that, thanks to his family, "I'm going to be just fine."
He says some charges against him are untrue and that he remembers other differently than his accusers do. But he says women "deserve to be heard and their experiences taken seriously."
11:45 a.m.
Minnesota Sen. Al Franken is resigning amid multiple sexual misconduct allegations.
Once a rising star in the Democratic Party, Franken made the announcement in a speech Thursday on the Senate floor.
The two-term lawmaker has repeatedly apologized as several women stepped forward to accuse him of sexually inappropriate behavior, from groping to forcibly trying to kiss them.
But a fresh allegation on Wednesday unleashed a torrent of Democratic demands that Franken step aside. Female senators led the chorus.
Franken is an actor who appeared on "Saturday Night Live" and an author who narrowly won his Senate seat in 2008 after a prolonged vote count. He has been a fierce opponent of the Trump administration.
His political fall has been swift by congressional standards. The first allegation surfaced on Nov. 16.
11:50 a.m.
Democratic Senator Al Franken has announced his resignation from the United States Senate after several women came forward to accuse him of sexual misconduct. He was elected to the Minnesota seat in 2008 and reelected in 2014.
He made a statement on the floor of the United States Senate on Thursday December 7, 2017, saying "I am proud that during my time in the Senate that I have used my power to be a champion of women and that I have earned a reputation as someone who respects the women I work alongside... Serving in the Senate has been the great honor of my life. Nevertheless today I am announcing in the coming weeks I am announcing I will be resigning as a member of the United States Senate. "
This is a breaking news story. We are working to get more details on this story, and will have updates as more information becomes available.
Stay with us as we follow this situation. Refresh your page to make sure you are seeing the most current information.
9:29 a.m.
Sen. Al Franken will say whether he is resigning in a speech on the Senate floor at 11:45 a.m.
Franken is under intense pressure to step down as allegations of sexual misconduct have mounted, with at least eight women accusing him of acting inappropriately.
The Minnesota senator's support among fellow Democrats crumbled on Wednesday after a woman accused Franken of trying to forcibly kiss her in 2006. Hours later another woman said Franken inappropriately squeezed "a handful of flesh" on her waist while posing for a photo with her in 2009.
A tweet on Franken's Twitter account Wednesday evening said Franken was talking with his family, and any report of a final decision his future was inaccurate.
3:57 a.m.
Minnesota Democrat Al Franken, facing fresh allegations of sexual misconduct and vanishing support from fellow Democrats, appears to be on the brink of resigning from the Senate.
Franken scheduled an announcement for Thursday, though his office tweeted Wednesday evening that he had not made "a final decision" on resigning.
But a majority of the Senate's Democrats called on the two-term lawmaker to quit after a woman emerged Wednesday morning saying he forcibly tried to kiss her in 2006. Hours later, another woman said Franken inappropriately squeezed "a handful of flesh" on her waist while posing for a photo with her in 2009.
That brought the number of women alleging misconduct by Franken to at least eight.
