Update: I'm not entirely sure what happened with this, but the price is now $69.99 after rebate. I tried contacting TigerDirect to see why the original price disappeared so quickly, but did not get a reply. All prices that I post are accurate at the time I post them, but unfortunately sales sometimes end without warning, inventories sell out, and so on. My apologies for the confusion over this deal!
Tired of juggling remotes? Replace them all with the Logitech Harmony 550, which sold for $150 when it debuted a couple years ago, lists for $129.99 now, and is available from TigerDirect for just $39.99 (after a $30 mail-in rebate).
In case you're not familiar with them, the Harmony remotes are renowned for offering (relatively) easy programming via desktop software, which is available for both Windows and Mac systems. Just choose your home-theater hardware from an extensive database, then set up your desired activities ("Watch a movie," "Listen to music," and so on). The remote's built-in help screens walk you through any problems that may crop up (like the TV turns on but the receiver doesn't).
I've used several Harmony remotes over the years, including this one, and they've largely been outstanding. My only gripe with this model is that it doesn't use rechargeable batteries. But for 40 bucks (plus $8-9 for shipping) it's absolutely impossible to beat. Don't take my word: Check out CNET's favorable review of the Harmony 550, and be sure to browse the user reviews as well for more real-world testimony.

Throughout the winter salt on British roads is the arch enemy of old cars. Gritting lorries spray salt all over the roads before a cold snap. This minimises the chance of cars coming into contact with black ice and crashing.
Modern cars generally come as standard with a sealant on their underside which stops salt from getting onto the metal of the car and making it rust terribly.
Old cars are not so lucky! They were not sealed underneath as standard. Older metals were often untreated and therefore the cars were much more prone to rusting. Salt eats into metal remarkably quickly. If an old car is lucky enough to have been sealed underneath at some stage in its history, the under body protection will need checking and redoing in order to remain constantly effective.
So here is where we come in...
This Rolls Royce Silver Shadow is being treated and will be ready for the winter roads. It's a grubby old job but once it's complete it will give peace of mind and many years of rust-free motoring.

I was scrambling for a florist this past Saturday after my sister told me she was going to have to put her much loved dog to sleep that morning. It was very important to me to let her know how much I cared, so I really wanted same day delivery if possible. I was choked up placing the order, but was treated with much patience and kindness. The arrangement was delivered quickly to my sister and was as vibrant and beautiful as I'd asked. A truly wonderful experience at a tough time. I am now a loyal customer.

The flowers were beautiful. It was an extra nice service they called and left a message to make sure I found them in light of the heat. The flowers had just come out of the cooler, they were stil chilled and fresh. I suspect they made a special trip or someone delivered them on their way home since it was around 5:00. I would recommend Arlyene's to family and friends

How far along: 10 weeks
Total weight gain: 0lbs (now I actually know because I was weighed at my doctor's appointment this week, but it's still technically a guess since I don't know my exact weight before pregnancy...)
How big is baby: a prune
Maternity Clothes: I wear yoga pants almost always, especially since I've been so sick, but still can fit into some of my normal pants. Other pairs are too tight now though, so I do wear my maternity jegging jeans.
Sleep: A good sign that the 1st trimester is ending and the 2nd is beginning! I'm still tired, but now have a healthy dose of Preg-Somnia. Which I got with my first two pregnancies too, starting in the 2nd trimester. Basically it's hard to sleep now! And hard to nap even (for me this is inconceivable!). Even with being sick the last week, I've stayed up until 11 or later almost every night and had a hard time napping.
Best moment this week: hearing baby's heartbeat, which was no casual affair. Read about it here.
Movement: too early.
Food cravings: ...are back! I'm no longer hating every edible thing in sight which is so nice. But my energy levels are still low so I'm not as enthusiastic in the kitchen as usual. Lately I'm craving fresh things - fruit juices, grapefruit especially. And for the first time in ALL of my pregnancies I was craving pickles this week. So cliche. But all I want is the crunchy dills! (sadly this craving is still just that, 'cause we don't have any in the house). Also have been very vocal about my desire to be eating waffles at any time of day, so my dear hubs surprised me and ordered me a Cuisinart Waffle Maker! LOVE HIM. It arrives Saturday.
Food aversions: Still red meats, though I've had veal meatballs without trouble. I still can't bring myself to cook a roast or want Brad to grill steak though. In all, I'm generally very vegetarian when I'm pregnant because of aversions to meat, chicken, etc.
Gender: Ok so get this. I realized today that this pregnancy I've had MUCH more nausea/vomiting than my pregnancy with Oli, but that it's right on par with my pregnancy with Lily. So of course, now I think we're having a girl :) But I'm in that awesome place where I truly don't care, so it doesn't matter!
Labor signs: too early.
Belly button in or out: hovering...
What I miss: energy to play and go out with the kids. The weather has been cold and bad generally, so I comfort myself with the fact that I may not be out and about even if I had the energy based on that, but it's still hard. Oh, and gin and tonics.
What I'm not loving: I've been terribly sick with a sinus cold this week, and a rough cough that gets so bad that it causes vomiting (probably because I already have dull nausea, so it's not hard to get the gag reflex, but still...)
What I'm looking forward to: finding out the sex, nausea to end (if it's like my first two pregnancies, I only have 2 more weeks to go!), starting to nest, and a few other things I'll share on my on the blog soon!
What I'm loving: Lily saying all the live long day "baby mommy's tummy". ADORBS.
Milestone(s): We heart the heartbeat! Baby is healthy and measuring accurately for a mid-September arrival.

I know it can't possibly matter to anyone else and you have already wasted your time by clicking on today's post but I just gotta dash off a couple of weakly worded letters.
Dear Bill Maher,
I couldn't be a bigger fan of your Real Time show on HBO. I look forward to it Friday nights like it was free Hot Wings. You tell it like it is and even when you are wrong I appreciate your perspective, intelligence and passion.
It's such a small thing and I hesitate to even call it to your attention but on more than one occasion I have heard you describe someone in the news with a difficult task ahead as having a "long road to hoe." This past week's show you used the expression to describe Senator McCain's task as he tried to court conservatives yet still distance himself from President Bush.
Unfortunately, nobody hoes a road. The term comes from the farm and it is a long row of crops in front of the farmer that represents the difficult task ahead. Interestingly, The Oxford English Dictionary dates it back to 1835 and gives Davy Crockett credit for the first published usage.
Continued success,
Congratulations on your party's presumptive nomination for the office of President of the United States. You should be very proud of the way you campaigned and, obviously, connected with millions of American voters.
I know you have given thousands of speeches over the past two years and the sheer volume of details you must keep straight in each appearance, especially under the glare of the media, would make it easy to not be conscious of pronouncing every word just so.
But more than once I have heard you use the word heighth instead of the intended height. Just this week, in your speech to veterans in Kansas City, you characterized a "quick troop withdrawal from Iraq" (as) "the heighth of irresponsibility."
With the next few months of campaigning you still face before November the last thing you need is your Democratic opponents being able to make fun of your version of President's Bush's pet word nookyular.
All the best to you, Sir, and God Bless America.
P.S. Hey, did your friend Davy Crockett really come up with that "long row to hoe" thing when you guys were still rolling together?
Note to readers: The reason these are weakly, not strongly, worded letters is that the topics are too insignificant to actually print and mail. I just write them to make myself feel like I have addressed them and then I can move on with my life. There is something wrong with me that I have to do this.

Chow Town
Dismiss the pie, this easy cupcake recipe provides way to enjoy pumpkin's true flavor
There are several words that are synonymous with the American Thanksgiving. The top five T-day words that annually invade and disrupt my own thought pattern are turkey, stuffing, cranberries, sweet potatoes and pumpkin.
Oh, pumpkin. I have so much love for pumpkin, yet in the same breath I can curse it to exhaustion. Does every single food and body product have to be infiltrated with pumpkin? I'm so over the sickeningly sweet pumpkin-spice lattes, and I've just had way too many pumpkin pies in the course of my 34-year existence that I stopped counting long ago.
I admit that Trader Joe's pumpkin body butter is the stuff of which my autumn-loving dreams are made. But still, every year around the middle of September, I'm so anxiously waiting to start roasting pie pumpkins (and their glorious little seeds) when they come into season and then chemically transform them into magnificent morsels of edible expression. Like most people who dwell in the U.S., I drag my feet like the programmed pumpkin-loving humanoid that I am to the kitchen and start pulling out last year's sale cans of pumpkin puree.
This year I refuse to make another pumpkin pie. I'll probably have no choice but to make my famous streusel-topped sweet-potato bake, sans the awful marshmallows, if I wish to be re-invited to turkey day dinner. America, what is your deal with topping sweet potatoes with horribly sweet pillows of gelatinized egg whites and sugar anyway? I've never understood nor forgiven you for such a culinary atrocity. Marshmallows are for s'mores. And hot chocolate. But I digress.
The other thing, aside from over-consumption, about pumpkin that causes me to be a bit hesitant in using it in sweet applications is that many people do not care for it. Like at all. Many folks associate dessert-pumpkin use with custards and pies. I am surprised at how many people with whom I've talked really have deep dislike for pumpkin pie. They start to associate all pumpkin-flavored things as tasting like the egg-y, dense pie that does not tickle their fickle fancy in the slightest.
This "team no-pumpkin-pie" movement brought me to wanting to remind bakers and consumers that pumpkin has so many other uses aside from being the star of its namesake pastry. Pumpkin on its own doesn't really possess a strong flavor. This is how you can easily sneak it into a chili or soup and not even know it's there. The same goes for the sweeter side of life, such as in cookies and cakes. What really makes pumpkin-enhanced foods taste pumpkin-y are the spices and added sugars. An abundance of fresh ginger, ground cinnamon, grated nutmeg and fragrant cloves, along with mega-doses of brown sugar are what remind your palate that there's pumpkin in that thing you're eating. Cutting back particularly on these spicy additions can mellow out the identity of the orange squash-and-gourd-cousin and allow you to use the vitamin A rich flesh for its other wonderful characteristics, such as adding moisture to your baked goods.
One additional palate pleaser I use in tricking my pumpkin-hating friends into loving my seasonal orange-colored pastries is to add chocolate. Pumpkin and chocolate were seriously made for each other. Go have yourself a soft pumpkin sugar cookie, glazed in rich chocolate ganache and tell me I'm full of it. You can't and you won't.
With this not-so-serious arrogance of mine, I present to you a fantastic and fairly easy recipe you'll not only want to use to impress your Thanksgiving Day guests and give them a taste of something nontraditional, but you'll be craving it on an odd and hot day in the middle of summer and wish you had an old can of pumpkin puree, hiding in a dusty corner in the back of your pantry. Even better, I'm going to be including both dairy and gluten-free options.
Instead of fussing with pastry dough to make the same played-out pie, give the gift of cupcakes. I have created for you a buttery, fluffy and perfectly moist cake that is loaded with mini chocolate chips, glazed in chocolate ganache, and then topped with the creamiest cinnamon buttercream ever.
There are a few secrets to getting the buttercream to taste impressively delicious and not sickeningly sweet. First, it's imperative that you go to Michael's, the craft store, and find the Lorann butter-vanilla baking emulsion in the Wilton/baking section. I found this out by accident one day as I had run out of pure vanilla and had only this bottle for whatever reason, but this stuff seriously takes the flavor to another level. It tastes like it came straight from the bakery without having the chemical aftertaste of which most people aren't so fond.
It also allows you to use some shortening in place of butter in the frosting to give extra stability. All-butter frostings can become unstable in hot kitchens, and so it's good to be able to remedy this problem without sacrificing taste. But the Lorann brand is the only one I've used that doesn't taste like "fake" butter flavoring. If you absolutely cannot find time to wander through Michael's, regular vanilla extract will work. You just won't have quite the same depth and richness of the butter flavor.
The next secret is to use the finest salt you can get your hands on. Using unsalted butter but adding some salt later allows you to be in total control of how much is being added and how much will be tasted later on. Please don't worry about your buttercream tasting "salty." It won't. I promise. In fact, salt added to sweet items actually enhances the sweet and all the other flavors. The salt I recommend is Mortin's popcorn salt, which comes in a little blue container and is sold at Wal-Mart in the baking aisle near the rest of the spices. If you cannot find the popcorn salt, regular table salt will work. Just don't use a coarse salt such as sea or kosher.
And finally … beat the dickens out of that buttercream. Yes, really. Whipping the butter and shortening for an extended period of time incorporates body and air into the final product, and it also helps the frosting to taste less sweet. Essentially it creates more product, similar to how some ice cream factories whip a lot of air into their frozen treats. More volume, better sugar distribution, much improved tasting buttercream.
Vegans, unfortunately there isn't a good way to substitute the eggs in the cake recipe as too many are used, but you can make both the buttercream and ganache dairy-free and just use with your favorite vegan pumpkin cupcake recipe.
From my humble midtown kitchen to yours, I wish you all the happiest of Thanksgiving dinners. May all bellies be full and blessed.
Pumpkin Chocolate-chip Cupcakes with Chocolate Ganache
Note: Gluten-free and dairy-free options included below.
Makes 24-26 cupcakes, using a 2-ounce scoop
For the cake:
3 cups all-purpose flour (For gluten-free version, use 2 cups brown rice flour [see note below], 2/3 cups potato starch, 1/3 cup tapioca or arrowroot starch, and 3/4 teaspoon xanthan gum.)
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 tablespoon baking soda
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 cup butter (1 stick) (Use Earth Balance baking sticks for dairy-free/vegan.)
1/2 cup oil, divided
1 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup white sugar
4 eggs, room temperature
1 15-ounce can pumpkin puree
1 cup mini chocolate chips
For the ganache:
1 cup chocolate chips, or 8 ounces of good quality baking chocolate
1/2 cup heavy cream (Use full-fat coconut milk from the can for dairy-free/vegan.)
Heat oven to 325 degrees and line a cupcake/muffin pan (or two pans of 12-muffin cups) with cupcake liners.
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda and powder, spices and salt; set aside. In bowl of stand mixer, cream together the butter, sugars and 1/4 cup of the oil on medium speed for two minutes, or just until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
Add in the eggs on low speed, one at a time. Scrape down the bowl with a spatula and continue mixing on medium-low speed for an additional two minutes. Add in the pumpkin puree and remaining oil and mix on low speed until everything is incorporated. Add the dry ingredients in two parts, mixing on low speed until everything is incorporated. You can use your spatula to scrape down the bowl and make sure all the flour has been mixed in without over-mixing. Fold in the chocolate chips by hand.
Portion the cake batter into the cupcake pans with a slightly-rounded 2-ounce scoop. Bake cupcakes for 16 minutes or just until the center comes clean with an inserted toothpick. Allow cupcakes to cool completely before dipping in the ganache.
Once the cupcakes are nearly cool, you can start making the ganache by heating the cream to a near-boil and then pouring over the top of the chocolate chips in a glass or metal bowl; allow the mixture to sit two minutes and then whisk vigorously until the chocolate and cream are completely combined, smooth and glossy.
Dip each cupcake in the melted ganache, spinning it around so that the excess can drip off; place dipped cupcakes back onto cooling rack. To speed up the drying process of the ganache, you may place the cupcakes in the fridge for half an hour or a freezer for about 10 to 15 minutes. Otherwise, allow the ganache to firm up at room temperature for at least an hour.
Once the ganache has hardened enough to hold your buttercream, you may go ahead and either pipe a swirl of frosting onto the top of the cupcake or simply use a spoon to pile it on top. Garnish with extra mini chocolate chips or hand-shaved chocolate.
Note: I recommend using Bob's Red Mill brown rice flour. It's inexpensive, easy to find and yields the best texture of all the health-food store brands I've tried.
Tastes-Like-Bakery Cinnamon Buttercream
2 cups unsalted butter (4 sticks) (Use Earth Balance baking sticks for dairy-free alternative.)
1 cup shortening
1 tablespoon butter-vanilla Lorann bakery emulsion
3-4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
3/4 teaspoon fine salt
8 cups sifted powdered sugar
In the bowl of a stand mixer with paddle attachment, cream together the butter and shortening on medium-high speed for five minutes, or until the mixture has turned almost white and increased in volume. If you are using a hand mixer, this process will take at least 6 or 7 minutes. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl with a spatula.
Add the flavorings, salt and cinnamon; mix on low just until everything is combined. Add the powdered sugar, 2 to 3 cups at a time, mixing on low speed for one minute and scraping down the bowl after each addition. After the final addition of sugar, mix on low speed for two minutes and scrape down the bowl with spatula to make sure no sugar has been left behind.
Store buttercream in the refrigerator when not in use. Bring back to room temperature when ready to use and mix for about 30 seconds with paddle attachment to smooth out any air bubbles they may have formed.

Whether you are a student looking for study materials to supplement your current course or a self-learner looking for courseware just for fun, this primer into using Open Educational Resources will help you to explore and use OERs effectively.
What are Open Educational Resources?
If you think of it as mere "free courses", start with this introductory page for those new to OER: OER, What's that? A formal definition as is provided by UNESCO
If you know what OER is (and passed that novice stage), and you would like to know more about OER and other forms of openness, look here.
Where can I find OER?
Open Education Consortium offers a course search in partnership with MERLOT. You can search for courses from Open Education Consortium member institutions and also from peer reviewed materials from MERLOT at oeconsortium.org/courses. You can also find a list of some other OER search engines here and here.
What are the terms of use?
So you know it's free, but there is more to this license that lets you use things for free. Here's a start to what you need to know about Creative Commons license. Here's a video to go with it.
Where can I get hard copies of OER?
If your professor is using an open textbook, he or she will let you know where you can print it. Some use university bookstores for print services. Lulu.com is one of the online print shops where you can print open textbooks, but look for an option in your region.
Can I create OER based on the classes I am taking?
Some students have asked for permission from their professors to create OER from a course they are taking. Talk to your professor about the license terms, format and where to upload the contents. dScribe from Open.Michigan has a program for graduate students who create OER.

It began with a cough. Her brother had a cough. And, after all, what was a cough? They had all had them. In winter, they passed them around like sweets. Enough coughing meant no school. Although sometimes we sent them off anyway—risking a call from the school nurse, who only half the time would be convinced by our pleading that it was nothing—so that a few more hours might elapse before the apartment filled with their books and the paper wrappers from their snacks.
But now it was August, and we were at the beach. All winter we dreamed of the house, with its blue floors, the tiny periscope hole in the roof, the red chairs, the rickety porch with its view of the bay. The children turned brown. It was hot. The sea was flat. At low tide, a little pool appeared, and a sandbar, and she, the youngest at three, stood on tiptoe in the water, screeching when an inch-high wave hit. "I think the water's actually cold," she ran to tell us. "No, I think it's actually warm." We sat by the edge in our low beach chairs, the same chairs that used to embarrass us when our parents brought them to the beach. Why do we have so much stuff? we would ask them, eager to be free of it all, of the towels and swimsuits and bottles of juice and fruit, imagining ourselves alone on an empty stretch of beach, naked, with a rucksack. Now we're the ones who unload the car and carry the heaviest bags.
She's so little we let her run naked, even though we have learned that turning brown is bad. We are careless, self-indulgent, to let her do it. By late afternoon, the sun has slipped behind the enormous high dunes, and blue shadows lap at the water. When she comes up from the edge, she is shivering. Her older sisters and brother and their friends are far out in the waves, on their boogie boards and surfboards, unidentifiable in their black wetsuits. We keep track by counting. One, two, three, four, five, six. Is that Anna? We ask each other. Do you see Nick? There's Rose. "Come in now! Come in!" we scream at them, our arms making huge pinwheels so they will pay attention. It is easy for them to pretend they don't see us.
During the night, she coughs on and off, and wakes once. The wind on the bluff pounds the house. In the morning, it is hot and blue again. We get to the beach after lunch, but the sun is still high. From the top of the dune, shielding our eyes, we look for the cluster of bright umbrellas that mark the colony of our friends. They hail us. The older children jump like seals into the waves and swim out to their pals. She stays by the edge. Today, there is another child her age, but she's cranky and won't play. It's too much sun, she didn't sleep, we explain to the other child's parents, chagrined. Secretly, we're annoyed: why won't she just play nicely? The younger children are fooling around with the surfboard, and she wants to try. A wave rears up suddenly, a dragon, foaming at the mouth, she's hurled underwater and onto the sand. Everyone races to help. How can we have allowed this to happen? This is appalling! She is young, much too young for these high jinks. She comes up sputtering. What kind of parents are we? Until someone else makes a mistake, our reputation is shaken.

Hummingbirds fly backwards, and they are the only birds capable of doing so. When using this unique ability, hummingbirds may reach speeds of 25 to 30 mph as they go. These birds have flexible wings that they can rotate in swift circles to help fly in reverse.
The wings on a hummingbird have the same rotational capacity as helicopters, and they perform many of the same functions. Like helicopters, hummingbirds can fly forward, backward, hover in the air, shoot upwards and dive toward the ground. These birds can also fly short distances upside down, which is an escape technique they employ when fleeing from attacking birds.

Unwinding at home.
It's pretty rare that our house is quiet. It's even more rare that I have alone time and when I do, it's usually paired with blankets, cozy clothes and coffee. I savor the moments when I can catch up on emails and articles. Those moments of solace make me feel refreshed and perhaps, a better mom and wife.

Detectives in Halifax have released an E-fit of a man they would like to speak to in connection with a burglary in Stump Cross before Christmas.
It occurred around 12.45pm on Friday December 21, at a property on Kell Lane when the occupant of the property returned to find the door open and when entered was confronted by three suspects.
One of the suspects threatened the victim, who fled, before the three suspects made off.
The suspects took the victim's car keys and a blue Mercedes which was later recovered in Halifax with false registration plates.
The suspects were also using a grey coloured Volkswagen Golf that is believed to be on false registration plates – VU17 UMM.
Suspect one (pictured on this E-fit) is described as being a white male, around 16 years-old, around five feet six inches tall of small to medium build. He had short dark hair and is described as having a spotty complexion. He was wearing a dark coloured tracksuit and spoke with a Yorkshire accent.
Suspect two is described as being mixed race, around 20 years old and five feet ten inches tall, of medium build. He was wearing a dark coloured hooded top with the hood up and a scarf covering the lower part of a space. He spoke with a local accent.
Suspect three is described as a white male, of similar build to suspect two.
Officers are appealing for anyone who can identify the person in the E-fit, or who has any information about the incident to come forward. Information can be given to police by calling 101 and quoting 13170596665, or by calling Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Winning the Race
Lance Armstrong had every reason to be happy on his 25th birthday: a champion cyclist with the promise of a great future, sports contracts for substantial amounts of money, then you house… But then, less than a month before his birthday, his life would turn upside down.
October 2, 1996 was he day he received his diagnosis of testicular cancer; Yes, there were signs, but you learn to live with pain when you are a professional cyclist and you spend many hours per day sitting on a bicycle seat, especially in that part of the body. But spitting blood? A testicle three times its normal size? Probably just a virus...
But it was far worse than that. They found a tumor on his testicle, twelve in his lungs, multiple tumors in his abdomen and two in his brain. At such an advanced stage, his chance of survival, even with recent discoveries, were quite slim; around 15 to 20%. One hell of a slap in the face for a man in his prime, and with such great aspirations; you don't expect to die at 25.
The next day, they removed the tumor on his testicle. Then 12 long weeks of chemotherapy. The first three weeks he is given bleomycin, etoposide and cisplatin, the standard treatment; however, bleomycin can be toxic for the lungs and might affect his future performances as a cyclist, if he even manages to beat the cancer...
His medical team give him a new combination without bleomycin for the last three cycles in order to avoid lung damage. Bald, pale, emaciated, his otherwise muscled legs atrophied, vomiting for hours on end, Lance endured the poison and antidotes coursing through his veins. In the meantime, the tumors in his brain are removed and contain nothing but dead tissue, with no trace of cancer! In February 1997 he is officially declared in remission.
This is when he decides he wants to compete again, but chemotherapy won't make it that easy: after 20 minutes of light cycling Lance collapses on a stranger's lawn, exhausted and embarrassed. Pushing his limits, he returns to competition 16 months later, scars on his head, his arms, his legs and his chest...
Lance Armstrong founded the Lance Armstrong foundation, also known as live strong, whose goal is to amass funds for cancer research and to help support those who, like him, are battling their demons.
What follows may seem like both dream and nightmare: from 1999 to 2005 he would go on to win seven consecutive Tour de France races, but allegations of doping – which he would eventually admit to – will eventually deprive him of those victories.
You can say what you want, but it was without any kind of doping that Lance Armstrong beat his cancer and defied prognosis. He inspired countless people to push their limits and win the race; and no one can take that away from him.

Trade is not the only issue encompassed by the NAFTA Agreement. The agreement also covers unique visas for citizens of signing Countries.
The NAFTA Agreement provides for the TN visa, which is a non – immigrant visa for Professional Canadian and Mexican citizens that wish to immigrate to the United States temporarily for work purposes. This visa is a great opportunity for those Mexican and Canadian professionals who wish to work in the United States.
This visa is issued for a year and it is renewable for subsequent years. This visa does not allow the professional to apply for permanent residence in the United States. The list of Professionals eligible for this type of visa can be found on Appendix 1603.D.1 of the NAFTA Agreement.
If you wish to evaluate the possibility of filing for the TN visa, our Lawyers at The Victoria Law Group will be glad to assist you in this process.

Readers respond to a May 28 letter from William V. Wishard about the promise of globalization, if done wisely.
To the Editor:
We hear much talk about globalization, but what — really — is it?
For the first time in history, it's possible for everyone to know everything happening everywhere.
We are forging an awareness of our existence as a single entity. Nations are incorporating technology into the fabric of their economics, politics, culture and international relations. Because of our global information system, people of different psychological and cultural orientations — whether Silicon Valley computer genius or member of an Amazon tribe — are forced into a shared globalized context.
Globalization is the gradual process of the world shrinking as people of different nations, cultures and religions know more about one another. Western ideas and modes of living are seeping into the fabric of the world. The American baseball cap is now worn from Tahiti to Timbuktu. McDonald's is ubiquitous.
Everyone on earth is forced to adjust to information technology. No nation can modernize without becoming part of the global information system. Existing cultures, traditions and institutions thus become threatened, even disappearing.
While we Americans believe that what works for America will work for all nations, we sometimes forget that cultural differences represent profound psychological differences. The critical question for all nations is, "How can we engage globalization without losing our traditions?" For traditions are our links with the past. How do our traditions become integrated into some new worldview?
At its core, globalization is not about communications technology; it's about personal identity. It goes to the psychological foundations of a people. It is the process of realizing that wherever we come from, from now on, we are "one people" with one destiny.
This is the greatest transition in world history. If pursued wisely and cooperatively, globalization represents the world's best chance to enrich the lives of the greatest number of people.

Readers React
Mr. Wishard poses an important question: "How can we engage globalization without losing our traditions?" The answer is that, for better or worse, we cannot. That is because traditions — whether religious, linguistic, social or any other kind — are the products of differences among groups of people. Traditional mores have grown up over millenniums of human existence, in societies maintaining their fractious distinctions with each other, never approaching anything like a single global way of life. These traditions may be responsible for much strife and bloodshed, but they also give people a firm psychological footing, an awareness of belonging to a real community.
Globalization as Mr. Wishard defines it — the forging of an interconnected world into " 'one people' with one destiny" — can proceed only by breaking down established traditions. Some fortunate and powerful societies may see some of their traditions adopted by this new globalized society, but the vast majority will have their old customs steadily worn away.
Such ever-closer union of the globe's many peoples into a single entity is not, of course, a foregone conclusion. One need only look at the recent results of elections to the European Parliament. Surely the European Union, designed to break down national differences and create a greater whole, is the closest thing to a trial run of Mr. Wishard's globalized vision. But across Europe there have been striking successes by parties staunchly opposed to globalization, which appeal to a yearning for a simpler past, with a nationalistic tradition and a distrust of foreigners.
No one would deny that the process of globalization — whether it continues, stalls or goes into reverse — is of great significance. But we should not pretend that this process is inevitable, or that it can go forward while preserving long-established traditions.
DAVID A. McM. WILSON
Brookline, Mass., May 28, 2014
For most of human history, a person had limited access to other cultures. Without the Internet, television or the ability to catch a plane and be across the planet in 14 hours, each human being was limited to his or her immediate surroundings in terms of languages, customs, music and arts, religion, dating candidates and work locations. Now this has changed dramatically, leading many people to complain about the "loss of diversity." Some speak of cultural imperialism.
However, I see a bright upside. People can free themselves of constraints imposed by the straitjackets of local cultures and find their niche in a global village. A person in Guatemala is no longer bound to enjoy music from Guatemala only, and at the same time garage bands in Iceland can find an audience far beyond their island. More important, people can be free of restrictive mind-sets as more and more ideas flow around, ultimately weeding out the more outdated and backward ones. So I have nothing but excitement for this new era we have barely entered.
Tilburg, the Netherlands, May 28, 2014
The process of globalization, as Mr. Wishard notes, can be a traumatic experience to people on both sides of the fence. But globalization remains a two-way street. We often think that America is imposing its ways on the world but forget that many Americans in Kansas eat in Asian restaurants and spice their foods with chili peppers.
Even conquests are conduits for mutual cultural influences. European and American diets and habits changed after the voyage of Christopher Columbus in 1492. When America's founders wanted to break away from their mother country, they appealed to the "opinions of mankind," thereby implicitly acknowledging that there is a global community that serves as an ultimate arbiter in human affairs.
What does this mean? Commerce and technology are constantly bringing us closer together and stripping us of our autonomy, but we need to remember that happiness, as Thomas Jefferson once wrote in a letter, is best found at home, in one's local community. We all, in the end, need a place of our own.
Portland, Me., May 28, 2014
The writer is vice president for global affairs at the University of New England.
Mr. Wishard asks, "How can we engage globalization without losing our traditions?" The simple answer is, we can't. And we shouldn't. Our "traditions" — local superstitions, social and gender distinctions, and forms of economic activity that make each region unique — can cause only distrust and conflict when we try to accommodate them all in an expanded community.
But Mr. Wishard sidesteps an even more challenging aspect of globalization, which is the danger that it will become nothing more than a tool to allow the investor class to shop for the cheapest labor; the least responsible environmental, workplace and product safety regulations; and the most easily evaded tax regime it can find.
A single, global community, united in its beliefs, " 'one people' with one destiny," as Mr. Wishard puts it, is a description that could as easily be applied to the feudal world of ninth-century Europe as to the shining future Mr. Wishard believes that globalization will bring.
Lunenburg, Mass., May 28, 2014
Globalization is about multinational corporations taking advantage of the elimination of trade barriers and borders, shifting operations and jobs from one country to another, and paying taxes and wages where they are lowest. Workers and their unions, having fought long and costly battles for better conditions and higher wages, are now forced to compete with those across the globe who have not yet been able to rise much above the poverty level. And while the income gap widens in industrialized countries, immigration brought about by globalization challenges traditions that have glued families, regions and citizens together.
So who effectively protests the chaos brought on by this globalization? The mainstream parties on the right are beholden to corporate interests. The mainstream parties on the left are unable to shake their politically correct attitudes about the free exchange of people. Those who cry out against globalization are the fringe nationalists who skillfully exploit the fears of middle-class citizens, who see their job security waning and their traditions disappearing.
This is what we saw in the seismic European elections recently. If we are unable to rein in the abuses of multinational corporations, "globalizing wisely" will be a tall order, I fear.
New York, May 28, 2014
Mr. Wishard sees globalization as being about personal identity, that "wherever we come from, from now on, we are 'one people' with one destiny."
I agree. However, while many people may relate to the idea of being global citizens, far too few are aware of what that implies.
Being a global citizen means working with others around the world to develop solutions for the ever-expanding list of global issues that can't be addressed by individual nation-states. It means adopting lifestyles and values that are consistent with global sustainable development.
Nation-states remain the greatest obstacle to the building of a more cohesive, sustainable world community. It looks as if they will always be with us, but they need to change their worldview to adapt and contribute to the globalized age that Mr. Wishard writes about. Until then, nation-states will remain rooted in meeting the perceived needs and interests of their citizens, which for the most part are personal, local and sometimes national in scope.

The Writer Responds
We generally think of globalization as the worldwide integration of economic, financial and political factors. But it's far more. At its core, globalization means that the full scope of Western ideas and modes of living are gradually seeping into the fabric of the world. Thus, globalization is a psychological process — yielding technologies causing the globe to shrink.
Mr. Wilson writes that our traditions "give people a firm psychological footing." Indeed! Most cultures celebrate an end-of-year holiday, or the Easter spring blossoming. Those celebrations represent processes of Nature that will find common cultural expressions as some collective worldview evolves. Mr. Majid notes that when America's founders broke from their mother country, "they appealed to the 'opinions of mankind,' thereby implicitly acknowledging that there is a global community." Exactly!
Humankind's opinions are merging even more — producing resistance. They represent collective psychological roots, which require time to evolve into shared constructive action.
The future? Peter Drucker wrote in "Landmarks of Tomorrow": "Both knowledge and power, traditionally ends in themselves, must now become means to a higher end of man. Knowledge and power must be grounded in purpose — purpose beyond the truth of knowledge and the glory of power."
That purpose? Both human survival, and the benefit of all humankind.

Seals and Scientists on Ice
Sep 2, 2008 | Run Time: 03:03
One of the research groups on board the Healy, was the seal team from the National Marine Mammals Laboratory, based in Seattle. Seals, like other ocean creatures are being affected by climate change and the shrinking sea ice. The team hopes to put transmitters on the animals. That data will be relayed via satellite to distant computers, contributing to the understanding of the Northern Bering Sea ecosystem. But first the seals need to be caught...

A Natal Chart (also known as a Birth chart, horoscope, natus, geniture, radix, genethliac chart) is a chart that shows the positions of the planets of the zodiac during the time of ones birth. It is a map of the universe with you or the person of interest in the center of the chart. The chart is circular in nature and has 12 divided sections that show the position of the planets, the moon as well as the sun. These 12 sections are called the houses. Some astrologers will even acknowledge fixed stars, asteroids, minor planetary bodies and other mathematical points and angles. Charts will also show other celestial objects which are all referred to ones planets and are defined by the houses and the astrological signs.
How a Natal Chart or Birth Chart is Created
Each chart considers the details of ones birth such as the time and place of your birth, as well as the latitude and longitude and of course the date of birth. The exact time of your birth is often referred to as "your first intake of air". The majority of the charts you will see are based on Planet earth (Geocentric) and the Interpretation of the chart is where the astrologer will build a picture from the chart which shows your personality, characteristics, and traits.
There are two main phases of chart interpretation:
- Chart Weighting
- Chart Shaping
The two will note the distribution of the signs, houses and the zodiac, comparing it to your personality to see if it has any significance. Shaping evaluates the placement of the planets and processes to find any significant patterns between them.
What a Natal Chart Can do for You
Natal Charts are an amazing and unique way to discover hidden personality traits of yourself or a person of interest. It is the basis of a complete horoscope that is quite detailed and mystic in nature. Due to the fact that the planets, the moon and the sun are in constant motion around our planet Natal Charts are not that easy to create and it takes comprehensive astrological knowledge to create and interpret a birth chart correctly.
With the alignment of the planets as well as the Zodiac signs, the Natal chart will create a mystic combination for each person making everyone's chart completely unique and their own. This not only makes the charts detailed and customized to ones own self but it also makes them extremely fun to take part in. It sheds light on the mystery that astrology, space and the universe tends to have on us.
How to Get a Natal Chart or Birth Chart
You can get a free natal chart through automatic software calculations such as the one that we have provided below. While they are helpful and give you an idea of what your natal chart is and how it looks like, it is in no way as comprehensive as the ones you can get from a professional and skilled astrologer.
Where to find an Astrologer for Birth and Natal Charts
Though you can find adverts of astrologers in your town courier or newspaper you will often find these to be almost "wacky" in their predictions and will tend to feel far less connected with you or that it has much of a prediction. However if you find one who is quite skilled or famed for their background in astrology then the alignments and predictions you will receive will feel much more accurate and relevant.
Years ago this might have been a much more difficult task but luckily now in today's age with access to the World Wide Web one has many options of astrologers and chart makers. Once you find a site or chart maker that you like, you will need to give them the above information about your birth and you will probably have to pay a small fee. However with all of the information about Natal Charts and astrology available right at your finger tips it is quite easy to obtain the instructions on how to make your own Birth Chart but do keep in mind that it requires a significant amount of knowledge regarding astrology to properly erect a Natal Chart. Once you have mastered the secrets of the Birth Chart you can then share them with friends, family members, coworkers and anyone else you may come into contact with.

Three Percent #27: The Night of a Million Books
In this week's podcast, Tom and I talk about the ABA's Winter Institute, which just took place in New Orleans. We also go on about World Book Night, which you should volunteer for by clicking here.
We also talked about my daughter and her "letter of hate" to the awful Dan Borislow, who, "ruined our summer of fun."
(And in my defense for encouraging her to write this, there's no amount of 8-year-old crazy that can approximate Borislow's 50-year-old detached from all reality crazy. Just read the emails in the link above, and keep in mind that this jag ruined women's soccer for tens of thousands of young girls in the most egotistical, asinine fashion ever. Chloë is 100% in the right on this.)
To honor the song that conquered soccer, this week's music is Seven Nation Army by The White Stripes.
