Senoow Purse Handmade Evening Party Wedding Clutch Bead Women Bag Prom Gold Bridal Wallet rP6Trq
In your relentless quest for larger buds that are worth more to you and your associates, you now have an all-organic formula called Nirvana.
When you look at what Nirvana has In it, and how these organics work for you, that's why Nirvana is the number one choice of growers seeking an organic way to maximize yield and quality.
There's a superstar list of ingredients on board for you, including alfalfa meal that enhances growth and yield in your hydroponics plants.
Alfalfa is particularly important if you've invested money in C02 for your grow room; it gives you more rapid intake of C02, more vigorous growth, and maximum yields.
Evening Prom Bead Wallet Women Handmade Purse Senoow Clutch Gold Bridal Wedding Party Bag Nirvana also gives you Ascophyllum nodosum. These rich compounds contain ingredients that stimulate root function, cell replication, and flower.
The benefits keep on coming when you use Nirvana, because it contains whey protein that has been pre-digested using enzymes instead of the acid process that most manufacturers use.
Enzymatically-hydrolyzed whey protein ensures that flower-boosting amino acids cysteine and tryptophan are preserved in the biologically-active "L" form.
Most manufacturers use acid hydrolysis, which destroys L-aminos. When you use Nirvana's enzymatically-hydrolyzed whey protein, your plants get L-aminos that stimulate floral growth and potency.
Another Nirvana benefit comes from two other plants: Chilean Soap Bark and Yucca. These amazing plants produce compounds called surfactants. A surfactant is a compound that reduces the "surface tension" of liquids so they and whatever they contain more easily enter your plants via roots and leaves.
Gold Women Clutch Prom Bead Bridal Purse Party Handmade Wedding Bag Evening Senoow Wallet Yucca extract and Chilean Soap Bark extract are two all-natural surfactants that transfer nutrients into your plants.
Another of Nirvana's potent bud potentiator ingredients is bat guano that contains nitrogen, trace elements, amino acids, nucleic acids, proteins and minerals. Bat guano is rapidly-absorbed by plants, enhancing growth.
Along with guano, Nirvana has a yeast component that contains 22 essential amino acids that build plant proteins, and it's also loaded with B vitamins. B vitamins are particularly useful for cloning, seedlings, transplanting, motherplants and gardens where plants are being pushed hard for production.
Nirvana contains a miracle substance called "azomite." When you read the list of substances that are contained in azomite, you'll see why it's valuable for your plants. These include calcium oxide, carbon, iron, hydrogen, silica, gold, magnesium, nitrogen, sulfur, magnesium oxide, antimony, chromium, cobalt, boron, molybdenum, copper, phosphorus pentoxide, manganese, indium, silver, zinc and dozens of others.
In fact, virtually every element on earth is contained in azomite. You'll notice that many of azomite's ingredients are essential nutrients for your plants.
Another of Nirvana's underground benefit for your plants is humic acid. It comes from leonardite, which is among the richest veins of organic material in the earth. Humic acid helps your plants intake and utilize nutrients. A related compound is fulvic acid, also derived from leonardite. Fulvic acid similarly transports nutrients into cells..
As you can imagine, it's difficult for you to individually source or use these beneficial natural ingredientsClutch Bag Handbag Sparkling black Wiwsi Evening Rhinestone Women Frosted Lady Purse Rc0c4qS6PW as individual supplements.
For your convenience, Advanced Nutrients extracted, standardized and combined these powerful compounds into one formula, called Nirvana.
Not only that, but Nirvana is triple-filtered and custom-blended you easily applied as a foliar feed or in any type of hydroponics irrigation root zone system.
Bridal Party Clutch Wedding Wallet Handmade Women Purse Bead Bag Senoow Prom Gold Evening Be aware that Nirvana is often placed on hydroponics store shelves along with competing products such as Pure Blend Pro and Liquid Karma, but Nirvana contains more crop-boosting ingredients than any other organic booster product.
Not only that, Nirvana is the only 100% organic, concentrated, easy to use formula of its type.
In your quest to naturally enhance growth and maximize yields, Nirvana stands alone as a rich supplement that you want to feed your plants right away.
Nirvana has two surfactants that make it penetrate leaves to deliver flower-boosting compounds directly into floral clusters. Nirvana is all-organic, so it's safe to leave on your flowers. However, we recommend that you mist and cleanse your floral clusters with pure water just before harvest as a general way of creating the cleanest end product.
One of the main effects of Nirvana is to add an organic, natural component to synthetic feed programs. Many growers report the improved taste and aroma when they use Nirvana.
"Before I was using Nirvana I was kind of resigned thinking that the price of staying organic was that I lost some harvest weight. But I gave Nirvana a try. I used it as a foliar spray about 3 weeks before I went to flowering and as a root feed after that. You could see the difference right away. The flowers are bigger and they have a sweeter taste!"

As a modern day career counselor, nothing is more fascinating to me than the opportunities that social media can give job seekers. Any of these online networking sites can lead to internship and job opportunities if you do it right. And when you're doing it really right, the internship and job opportunities could actually come to you.
I've watched this happen to many students and heard countless stories of social media success in the job search. Every time, it's just as amazing a story as the last. But, I'm not here to tell you about someone else's success. What I am here to do is break down how it works so that you will be one of those success stories.
To help make sense of it, I've done my best to boil this all down to three tips.
1.) Get social media strategic.
Before you tweet or post a thing, make strategic decisions about your social media presence. What networks are most intuitive to you? Which networks can you manage best? You don't have to be on every network to succeed in social media. Also, consider: where is my target audience – the organizations where I want to work? Or the people with whom I want to work? Make sure you find them on your networks, too.
Think of social media like you think of real life events. If you are interested in digital marketing, wouldn't you want to go the digital marketing conference? Of course. So, find out where those digital marketers are on social media. They could be in a LinkedIn Group or maybe they all participate in a scheduled tweetchat.
2.) Be an observant fly on the wall.
Most people I know are nervous about making a misstep on social media. I don't blame them. There's a lot of scary stuff out there regarding social media and your career. So, to those people, and even for those who feel ready to rock and roll, I say: channel your best fly on the wall at the beginning. When you have your networks and know where your people are, just be there for a while and soak in the conversations.
Two great things will come from this soaking it in:
3.) To be seen as valuable, you must add value.
Employers hire people because they are convinced that person has value. They want that person to bring this value to their organization. This is why people will tell you to demonstrate your value on your resume and provide great examples of your value in your interview answers. The same rules apply for social media. You have to be seen as valuable, and to do so, you have to add value to the conversation.
How can this work on social media? Well, after you know your networks, have found your people, and soaked in what they discuss, it's time to contribute. Contributing can look like:
You don't have to be an "expert" to add value or spur an interesting conversation on social media. Let yourself do this comfortably and at a pace that feels right for you, but keep contributing. You could be that next job search success story.

The House adopted, 268 to 148, a non-binding resolution urging President Reagan to resume talks with the Soviets for a comprehensive nuclear test-ban treaty. A similar measure was adopted by the Senate two years ago. Its rationale is that the arms race would end on both sides if new technologies could not be tested, assuming the ban was mutually verifiable. In addition to seeking summit negotiations toward an end to all testing, the measure (HJ Res 3) called for Senate ratification of two treaties banning underground nuclear explosions of 150 kilotons or more. Presidents Nixon and Ford signed those treaties with the Soviets but the Senate has never ratified them.
The resolution goes counter to the Administration strategy of negotiating deep cuts in Soviet and American nuclear weapons as a precondition of banning tests of new ones. Also, the Administration terms it impossible to adequately verify Soviet compliance with a comprehensive test-ban treaty.
Members voting yes favored the resolution.
How They Voted Yea Nay No vote Rep. Bates (D) x Rep. Hunter (R) x Rep. Lowery (R) x Rep. Packard (R) x
Marcos' Agents in Contempt
By a vote of 352 to 34, the House approved a contempt-of-Congress citation against New York real estate broker Ralph Bernstein for failing to cooperate with a House subcommittee investigation of U.S. property holdings of Philippines ex-President Ferdinand Marcos and his wife, Imelda. Separately, the House also voted contempt charges against lawyer Joseph Bernstein, who joined his brother Ralph in declining to provide information to the Asian and Pacific Affairs Subcommittee, which is trying to determine whether the Marcoses used U.S. foreign aid to buy real estate in Manhattan, Long Island and other locations.

Melanie Rieback needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 195 designs submitted by 71 freelance designers.
We need a logo for our not-for-profit Microvolunteerism Project, that promotes the Crowdsourcing of Volunteer Work.
The Microvolunteerism Project is a not-for-profit initiative dedicated to the "crowdsourcing" of volunteer work.
For more information, see:
- http://www.microvolunteerism.org/in…lunteerism
- http://www.microvolunteerism.org/in…lunteerism
We are looking for an attractive logo that conveys the core ideas behind our project: global volunteerism, crowdsourcing, (distribution and co-creation of project work), and many small contributions coming together to form a unified whole.
This logo is really important to us -- it will be used on our website and all other documents related to our volunteers, participating projects, and sponsors! I also expect that the colors used in the logo will form the palette for our future Mediawiki-based website design. (On our TODO list -- once this logo contest is over.)
- Our name 'Microvolunteerism.org' should be in the logo somewhere (although the .org should be less prominent in the logo than the word 'Microvolunteerism')
- The logo should clearly convey our core ideas (i.e. volunteerism and co-creation)
- The logo should be visually appealing
- The word 'Microvolunteerism.org' needs to be integrated into a larger coherent visual design
- I have a preferance for logos with 1x1 dimensions (instead of rectangular)
- I would appreciate if you could show how the logo looks on both a dark and a light background
- No copyrighted photography, or using images (or anything else) that we would have to license..
- The logo should not look cartoonish or like clip art
- The fonts should be standard, and easy to read
- The logo should not have too many colors (please limit it to 3 maximum)

First ingredient is a named meat product.
Insufficient meat content, use of grain fragments and other controversial filler.
The first ingredient in the food is a named meat product, in meal form. There is a further meat product 4th on the ingredient list, but since this is chicken inclusive of its water content (about 80%) and this ingredient will weigh only about 20% of its wet weight once water is removed (as it must be to make kibble) it is unlikely that there is any significant amount of the ingredient in the food. Salmon meal is 20th on the ingredient list, but this is far to far down the list to make up a significant portion of the food.
The primary grain is oatmeal, which is a decent quality grain. Unfortunately, the next ingredient is Corn. Corn is a problematic grain that is difficult for dogs to digest and thought to be the cause of a great many allergy and yeast infection problems. We prefer not to see this used in dog food. In it's gluten form, it is also a waste product for which the AAFCO definition is "that part of the commercial shelled corn that remains after the extraction of the larger portion of the starch, gluten, and term by the processes employed in the wet milling manufacture of corn starch or syrup".
Rice hulls are the outer casing of rice and have no nutritional value. This is pure junk filler. Brewers rice is also a low quality ingredient and by-product.
Beet pulp is further filler and a controversial ingredient it is a by-product, being dried residue from sugar beets which has been cleaned and extracted in the process of manufacturing sugar. It is a controversial ingredient in dog food, claimed by some manufacturers to be a good source of fibre, and derided by others as an ingredient added to slow down the transition of rancid animal fats and causing stress to kidney and liver in the process. We note that beet pulp is an ingredient that commonly causes problems for dogs, including allergies and ear infections, and prefer not to see it used in dog food. There are less controversial products around if additional fibre is required.

WASHINGTON (Sinclair Broadcast Group) -- Steve Bannon referred to Donald Trump Jr.'s meeting with representatives of the Kremlin as "treasonous" and "unpatriotic" during an interview with author Michael Wolff.
Wolff's book, "Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House," explores the inner workings of Trump's White House during the 2016 campaign all the way up to present time. Wolff spoke to over 200 people to get insight for the book.
Bannon, who served as chief strategist for President Trump during the beginning of his tenure, predicted "they're going to crack Don Junior like an egg on national TV."
"Even if you thought that this was not treasonous, or unpatriotic, or bad sh*t, and I happen to think it's all of that, you should have called the FBI immediately," Bannon said. "The chance that Don Jr. did not walk these jumos up to his father's office on the twenty-sixth floor is zero."
The leader of Breitbart said if Trump Jr. was going to hold such a meeting, he should've set it up "in a Holiday Inn in Manchester, New Hampshire, with your lawyers who meet with these people."
President Trump responded to Bannon's statements saying that his former chief strategist "has nothing to do with me or my Presidency. When he was fired, he not only lost his job, he lost his mind."
"Now that he is on his own, Steve is learning that winning isnt as easy as I make it look," Trump continued. "Steve had very little to do with our historic victory, which was delivered by the forgotten men and women of this country."
New York Magazine released an excerpt from Wolff's book on Wednesday. According to the author, Trump believed his nomination would boost his brand and deliver "untold opportunities."
Here is the full statement released by President Trump reacting to Bannon's take on the Trump Tower meeting:
Steve Bannon has nothing to do with me or my Presidency. When he was fired, he not only lost his job, he lost his mind.Steve was a staffer who worked for me after I had already won the nomination by defeating seventeen candidates, often described as the most talented field ever assembled in the Republican party.
Now that he is on his own, Steve is learning that winning isnt as easy as I make it look. Steve had very little to do with our historic victory, which was delivered by the forgotten men and women of this country. Yet Steve had everything to do with the loss of a Senate seat in Alabama held for more than thirty years by Republicans. Steve doesnt represent my basehes only in it for himself.
Steve pretends to be at war with the media, which he calls the opposition party, yet he spent his time at the White House leaking false information to the media to make himself seem far more important than he was. It is the only thing he does well. Steve was rarely in a one-on-one meeting with me and only pretends to have had influence to fool a few people with no access and no clue, whom he helped write phony books.
We have many great Republican members of Congress and candidates who are very supportive of the Make America Great Again agenda. Like me, they love the United States of America and are helping to finally take our country back and build it up, rather than simply seeking to burn it all down.
The Associated Press contributed to this story.

Stuart Mays explores whether Digital Audio is THE answer to the industry's concerns. The reality is that buying and selling digital advertising inventory has changed dramatically in recent years. With programmatic advertising, brands and agencies buy inventory via an automated process. By using this data efficiently and effectively, they can target audiences with ads that are relevant to specific customer´s needs .

U.S. Rep Lloyd Doggett has stepped into a dispute between Travis County officials and U.S. census leaders over how the area's homeless population will be counted for the 2010 census.
For weeks, the groups have been sparring over the times, methods and manpower needed to tally the area's estimated 4,000 people living in shelters, camps, cars and hotels. But that conflict escalated this week when a census employee called Doggett to say she had been fired for raising concerns about the safety and accuracy of the count.
On Friday, Doggett called U.S. Census Bureau Director Robert Groves in Washington.
"Director Groves promised me he would investigate both the employee's firing and review the best practices to accurately count the homeless," Doggett said in a statement Friday.
Census officials across the country plan to count the homeless on three days: On Monday, workers will tally people in shelters. On Tuesday, they'll count people at mobile food kitchens. And early Wednesday, they'll head outside to camps and public places such as bridges and sidewalks.
It's the Wednesday effort that has caused the most friction locally.
That count is planned for midnight to 7 a.m., a time local homeless advocates deem unsafe for census employees. Critics also say the census is not providing enough people or allowing enough time to ensure an accurate count.
"To count thousands of people over seven hours is unrealistic," said Travis County Constable Bruce Elfant, a member of the Austin-Travis County Complete Count Committee. "This isn't like going door to door."
A faulty count would mean losing out on millions of dollars in federal money.
On Friday, Travis County Judge Sam Biscoe and Austin Mayor Lee Leffingwell sent a letter to a regional census official detailing their concerns about counting the homeless.
"Your own Census staffers estimate that the homeless population could be undercounted by as much as 40%," the letter states. "This would mean 1,000 or more homeless residents would not be counted in Travis County, resulting in the loss of more than $15,000,000 to our community."
Jeff Behler, deputy regional director for the U.S. Census Bureau, said the late-night hours were determined "because, in the research that was done by our staff, it was determined that would be the best time in which that population would be the least transient."
Local leaders proposed holding an additional daytime event Thursday at the Palmer Events Center with food, music and giveaways for those who came to fill out the census forms. Census leaders said no, Elfant said.
"There appears to be very little wiggle room for communities that want to try innovative things," Elfant said. "It's been frustrating."
Homeless advocates also worry that census takers could get hurt wandering into the greenbelts and wooded areas that late at night. David Gomez, who works with the homeless for Austin Travis County Integral Care, said homeless people could be sleeping, drunk, high on drugs or otherwise impaired.
In a memo obtained by the American-Statesman, U.S. Census Bureau employee Lisa Bayliff agreed.
"There are camps that have barbed wire stretched about 3-4 inches from the ground to trip intruders from easy access," she wrote. "There are camps that are known meth labs; they have signs posted around the perimeter to warn people to go away … The timing of the operation is flawed and is willingly placing all Census employees at peril."
Census takers, who will be wearing reflective vests and carrying flashlights, have been told not to wake up sleeping people, Behler said. They will travel in groups, try not to startle people and clearly communicate their intent, Behler said.
Earlier this month, Bayliff took her concerns to the Austin congressman, Doggett spokeswoman Sarah Dohl said.
But this week, Bayliff contacted the office to say she had been fired for speaking to Doggett, Dohl said. That prompted Doggett to call Grove.
Bayliff declined to comment. Jenna Steormann Arnold, spokeswoman for the U.S. Census Bureau in Central Texas, said she could not talk about specifics of the case.
"Yes, she no longer works for the Census Bureau, but since it is a personnel issue that deals with confidential information, we cannot discuss it," she said.

Garcia shines in debut, O's top Angels in extras
Anaheim, CA – Freddy Garcia took a no-hit bid into the seventh inning in his first start of 2013, and Steve Pearce's RBI single in the top of the 10th inning lifted the Baltimore Orioles to a 5-4 win over the LA Angels of Anaheim at Angel Stadium.
Adam Jones led off the tenth with a single off Garrett Richards (1-3) and was replaced at first base by Nolan Reimold after a fielder's choice. J.J. Hardy advanced Reimold to second on a groundout, which brought Pearce to the plate to deliver the decisive blow.
Jim Johnson then retired the Angels in order in the bottom of the 10th for his 11th save in as many tries.
Garcia, who was making his first start of 2013 after being called up from the minors earlier in the day, retired 17 of the first 18 batters he faced before giving up two runs on three hits in the seventh inning. He struck out two and walked one in 6 2/3 innings of work.
"I had to make it happen today, I was able to throw a lot of first pitch strikes and use my sinker," said Garcia. "I did my job and the guys made good plays behind me. We won as a team today."
Tommy Hunter (1-1) pitched a scoreless top of the ninth to earn the win.
Manny Machado, Hardy and Reimold all homered for the O's, who have taken two of the first three games in this series heading into Sunday's finale. Pearce finished 3-for-4, while Jones swiped two bags in the triumph.
"We had three solo homers today, and Freddy was able to keep hitters off balance," said Hardy. "They battled back, but we were able to score in the 10th."
The Angels finally got to Garcia, who yielded only a second-inning walk to Mark Trumbo over the first six frames, in the seventh. Erick Aybar broke up the no-hitter with a single to center, and Trumbo belted his fifth home run in his last six games to cut Baltimore's lead to 4-2.
Still down by two entering the bottom of the eighth, Hank Conger led off with a bunt single for Anaheim and Scott Cousins, pinch-hitting for Chris Iannetta, then walked. Both runners advanced on a sacrifice, and Conger scored on Aybar's RBI groundout to second.
Mike Trout then came through with an infield single to tie the score and force extras, as neither team was able to put a run across in the ninth.
"I think its encouraging that even though we are struggling right now, we're fighting towards the end, we're fighting in those later innings to try and get anything going," said Conger.
Machado and Hardy both went deep in the first and second innings, respectively. Each were solo shots off Angels starter Tommy Hanson, who allowed three runs on seven hits in five innings.
Reimold plated Machado with the O's third run with a sacrifice fly to left field in the fifth, and his homer two innings later gave Baltimore a 4-0 cushion that they ultimately were unable to maintain.
Game Notes
Garcia made five starts for Triple-A Norfolk earlier this season before getting called up to the majors ... Baltimore went just 1-for-12 with runners in scoring position ... Angels closer Ernesto Frieri struck out the side in the ninth.

by Louise E. Wright
From 1974, when she set off for training in India, until 1992, when she left the organization known as Ananda Marga, Marsha Goluboff Low answered to one or another of these names. Ironically, she had joined Ananda Marga at a time when, she declares, "I didn't have any clue who I was."
In her book, "The Orange Robe: My 18 Years as a Yogic Nun," Low provides an engaging and candid account of her involvement with the organization.
The 62-year-old Flourtown resident describes Ananda Marga as "a controversial spiritual sect." Founded in 1955 by Shrii Shrii Anandamurti, the organization teaches meditation and yoga and engages in social and relief work but also has a political agenda. While it envisions "localized economies," Low explains, it advocates "a centralized world government" in the form of "a benign dictatorship."
The sect was highly controversial. Anandamurti was called "Baba" by his followers, who were known as the Margiis. Baba spent seven years in an Indian prison for allegedly conspiring in the kidnapping and murder of several of his followers. Some of Baba's followers stood trial for the 1978 bombing of the Sydney (Australia) Hilton, but they were acquitted.
The Margiis often skirted the law and, regarded with suspicion, ran afoul of immigration authorities. Low was no exception, hence the need for aliases such as "Sandra Holmes" and "Hanna Hartt." Blacklisted by Indian immigration, she was also deported from Egypt and refused entry into Turkish Cyprus. She worked underground in Fiji, resided illegally in Australia and violated the conditions of her visa in Russia, resulting in her detention by the KGB.
Low fraudulently reported traveler's checks lost, used health care and tickets issued to other Margiis and, on one occasion, smuggled video equipment into India. Other members of the sect did worse, knowingly or unknowingly dealing drugs or pornography.
Although seemingly at odds with a spiritual organization, such activities evidence Ananda Marga's belief that the ends justify the means. Initially, Low embraced the strict code of conduct Ananda Marga imposes on its followers. "You don't have to think," she explains. "Almost every situation is spelled out. For the person I was then, that was very appealing." Ultimately, she came to question the values of an organization that would condemn, say, the eating of a mushroom or an onion but condone lying, cheating and stealing.
Low's Hindi names chart her advancement in the sect. As an initiate, a few years after graduating from the University of Pennsylvania, she was known as Liila. Upon completing training as an "acarya," or one who teaches by example, she became "Malatii." Achieving the status of "avadhutika," one who takes special vows and practices advanced meditation, she received the name "Ananda Madhuchanda."
Although Low organized food distributions and tried to improve the diets of those she lived among, she spent much of her time teaching, not just yoga and meditation but also English. In "The Orange Robe," she describes the founding of Vistara, a primary school outside of Lismore, New South Wales, as "one of the most immensely satisfying accomplishments" of her life. Funded by the Australian government, Vistara offered low-income families an affordable alternative to the local public school and, despite its affiliation with Ananda Marga, did not teach the organization's doctrines. It remains in operation to this day.
Since leaving Ananda Marga, Low has continued to work in education. She earned an M.Ed. from Cabrini College, helped found Germantown's Wissahickon Charter School and currently teaches English as a Second Language at Montgomery County Community College and Alvernia College.
The orange robe of the memoir's title refers to the burka-like garb Low wore: an orange headpiece and jacket over a white — later orange — sari. Donning this uniform, Low shed the identity of a mixed-up Jewish girl from a materialistic culture and morphed into one of Baba's devotees.
Ananda Marga provided Low the sense of family and belonging she yearned for, having grown up in an emotionally cold, uncommunicative household. She considered her ethnic background "limiting," for her parents spoke Yiddish and "distrusted people who weren't Jewish." In contrast, she declares, "I was going to be universal and embrace people."
Low has dedicated the book to her parents, whom she saw only once in those 18 years as a yogic nun. By the time she left the organization, both had died. She is also researching her Eastern European heritage and talks of writing a historical novel based on her grandparents' lives in Tsarist Russia.
In addition to identity, "The Orange Robe" treats the theme of tolerance. Low sees the book as "a cautionary tale of how young people are very idealistic, but they don't have much life experience. They find something, and they think, 'Wow!' but then become intolerant of other ways."
With respect to herself, she says, "I belonged to an organization that was going to change the world, but I was naive and immature and didn't understand how to help people." Furthermore, rejecting the materialism of the West, she viewed the lives of those she worked among as "beautiful" and "simple." In fact, she realizes, "They were poor."
Low began writing about her experiences almost as soon as she left the organization. Initially she produced short, comic tales under the title "Recollections of a Wandering Vegetarian" for the newsletter of the Vegetarians of Philadelphia. In these stories she did not mention Ananda Marga, fearing that readers would stereotype her as belonging to a cult.
In "The Orange Robe," Low avoids the word "cult," which she labels "a loaded term," not wanting sensationalism to sell the book. "My focus is to tell my own story," she explains, "and allow readers to make their own decisions." Still she acknowledges that Ananda Marga fulfills several criteria of a cult, among them having a "charismatic leader" who attracts "unquestioning devotion."
Low continued writing and finally realized she needed to deal with Ananda Marga. In part, the writing was therapeutic: "It helped me work through a lot." She acknowledges a "tremendous sadness" with respect to the way she treated her parents. In addition, she admits, "I had a lot of bitterness. I didn't have kids; I didn't have a career. It took time to work through those feelings."
Doing so enabled her to gain the perspective necessary to craft the memoir. She began working on it in earnest about 2003. Another reason for waiting so long (11 years) to write the book, quite simply, was fear. In the introduction, Low refers to "monks who had run afoul of the organization and ended up dead." She had no desire to join their ranks. "It took me a long time to overcome my fear," she reveals, having done so by talking, not only to her husband and trusted friends but also to a therapist.
Still, Low changed the names of almost all the individuals mentioned in the book. Even while working on the project, there were times when "I wasn't sure I'd publish because I was afraid." She thought of producing just a small edition for private distribution but decided against it. She also considered, but dismissed, the idea of a pen name. "I don't need another name," she laughs. "I've had so many."
Ultimately, Low resigned herself: "Whatever happens, happens."
"The Orange Robe" is available, in print as well as ebook editions, from amazon.com and barnesandnoble.com. Readers with questions can send them to firstname.lastname@example.com.

SAN FRANCISCO — Federal environmental regulators say a settlement has been reached in a long-running pollution cleanup case at an old circuit board manufacturing facility in Silicon Valley that has been designated one of the nation's most polluted places.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency on Tuesday said it reached a $2 million settlement with CTS Printex, Inc. and ADN Corp. that will require the companies to finish cleaning up contaminated groundwater and monitor the air for harmful vapors.
CTS made circuit boards at the site in Mountain View between 1970 and 1985, which involved the use of industrial solvents that contaminated soils and groundwater on and around the property.
The site is one of 23 Superfund sites — or those designated by EPA as the most polluted places — in Santa Clara County.

Yellow and red areas indicate higher than expected rates. Use caution when drawing conclusions from the map because some areas had very few results. For example an area with 1 expected case that actually had 2 would show a large deviation but that could be a normal variance. In contrast an area expected to show 30 cases that shows 60 would be more likely to represent a trend.

Law enforcement officials said Tuesday that a motorist who was trapped in his vehicle for more than 15 hours after a crash Monday night may have been impaired by prescription drugs at the time.
Officer James Richards of the California Highway Patrol said Michael Crolius of Solvang was driving his Toyota Prius westbound on Highway 154, allegedly at a high rate of speed, when he failed to negotiate a sharp curve in the roadway and collided with a descending embankment.
The incident occurred around 4 p.m., and Richards said Crollius contacted family members from his cell phone for help but asked that law enforcement not be contacted.
His family contacted CHP despite the man's objections, and reported the collision at 5 p.m. Officers from the Santa Barbara and Buellton areas responded to search the area, along with Santa Barbara County Fire crews and air support.
Crews were unable to locate him though they searched Highway 154 from Buellton to State Street, and Richards said at one point that his family had been on the road directly next to the scene, but was unable to see his car because of the darkness.
Crolius was finally found around 8:30 a.m. Tuesday, when a CHP officer spotted the overturned vehicle. Crolius had been unable to exit the vehicle because of an injury to his shoulder.
Santa Barbara County firefighters were able to extricate the man from the wreckage after about 20 minutes. Crolius was taken via ambulance to Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital, where he was being treated for moderate injuries.
Richards said prescription drug impairment is being investigated as the possible primary cause of the collision. If convicted, this would be Crolius' fourth DUI in three years.

Lyndale Avenue having its dining heyday
Further confirmation that Lyndale Avenue in south Minneapolis is fast becoming a culinary destination is the news that pals Lorin Zinter and Jim Christiansen are converting a former laundromat and breakfast joint into Heyday.
As little as six months ago, the property, on the southwest corner of Lyndale and 27th Street, was being eyed as a location for a Trader Joe's.
That proposal fell through, and now the somewhat down-on-its-fortunes structure is getting a thorough makeover, inside and out.
"It's essentially going to be a new building when it's finished," said Zinter. "It's being gutted down to the studs."
The plan, more or less, is that the laundromat side of the building will house the full-service bar, and the footprint of the former Sunny Side-Up Cafe will house the Heyday dining room.
"It's probably going to be 40 percent bar and 60 percent restaurant," said Zinter. "It'll be a spot where you can drop in a few nights a week, or for a special occasion."
Christiansen and Zinter have been scouting sites for nearly three years for their long-planned collaboration.
"I can't even begin to count the number of places we looked at," said Zinter. "Dozens and dozens."
The duo met in that great Groveland Avenue talent incubator known as La Belle Vie (510 Groveland Av., Mpls., www.labellevie.us). Zinter was in the front of the house and Christiansen was in the kitchen when the four-star restaurant made the move from Stillwater to Minneapolis in 2005.
When La Belle Vie chef Tim McKee was tapped to reinvent the Guthrie Theater's ground-floor restaurant in 2009, creating Sea Change (806 S. 2nd St., Mpls., www.seachangempls.com), both Zinter and Christiansen were recruited to play a major role in getting that venture off the ground.
Zinter is now working as the food and beverage director at the Minneapolis Club, and Christiansen just left his position as executive chef at Union (731 Hennepin Av., Mpls., 612-455-6690, www.unionmpls.com).
No specifics on the food, yet— Heyday isn't set to open until early December — but Zinter said that the menu will be determined by "what Jim is inspired by at the moment," he said. "I'm just excited to help Jim showcase what he does so well."
Meanwhile, Matt Dickhausen and Lucas Almendinger have been promoted to lead the culinary team at Union; both have been at the restaurant since it opened in November.
Enlightened legislation
In the closing hours of its 2013 session on Monday, the Minnesota Legislature passed a provision that will allow the city of St. Paul to issue a wine and malt liquor license to the rathsekeller-style cafeteria in the State Capitol's basement.
Daytrip destination
Those in search of a culinary road trip, consider Tansy's on Main (115 N. Main St., Alma, Wis., www.tansysonmain.com). New ownership has remade the former Currents, with lunch Wednesday through Sunday, and dinner Friday and Saturday.

If you are like me, you have presumably waited until the last minute to decide what to dress as for Halloween this year. If you are also like me, working with the NBA so much has made it almost impossible to come up with costume ideas that don't somehow relate back to my day-to-day activities (ok, that probably doesn't apply to you as much).
With that in mind, here are 10 costume ideas for you to consider before heading out to trick-or-treat on Sunday night:
More costume ideas after the jump…

And We're Off...
Further to that point, I believe this is the first election in recent memory, wherein parties forced an election without immediate self interest apparent. In fact, you can say there is a bit of logic defying here, the polls aren't kind on their face, it looks superficially bad, timing just odd by strategic standards. And yet, the Liberals held firm in the face of slipping polls and criticism, now the NDP have ignored warning signs and stood up against Harper. Finally, the opposition has performed perfectly, these people have stepped all over our democracy, our institutions, no matter the polling, simply can't endorse this behaviour, as well as their "vision" for the country. There is some kind of honour to this forced showdown, or at least it feels rooted in the "right" reasons, rather than naked political expediency alone.
I'm looking forward to this election, because I believe this stale environment needs an election, Canadians need to have a focused discussion, this is when our political system is really at it's best in terms of engagement and participation.
And we're off...

I'm so tired of pundits saying that Harper is doing well in the polls because of some imagined skill of his.
The Cons rise in the polls coincides completely with the Con attack ads and their spending $26 million on "government" ads that just shill for the Cons on our dime.
Just once I'd like a conservative pundit to admit that over $30,000,000 in advertising is what has caused the Cons to rise in the polls.

"The Cons rise in the polls coincides completely with the Con attack ads and their spending $26 million on "government" ads that just shill for the Cons on our dime."
I noted how everyone was quick to credit attack ads, but nobody gave this expenditure, 5 to 10 times any thought.
It looks like the impact is waning, and it's also true that the "bump" is softer than Gerard Kennedy's hair!
Looking forward to this election, please be substantive. Despite the "scoff", I think there is latent unrest at hand. Can Ignatieff in particular spark, I keep going back to that caucus speech, more of that, and we're on our way...

I'm so annoyed by the media eye-rolling going on on twitter, this whole "election about nothing" thing. The government is practically in contempt, they've shown a disdain for Parliament that puts the lie to everything they stood for, they have 4 officials being charged, a former aide under investigation for influence peddling... yeah "nothing". I need a drink.

So do I. more so to rid the talking trolls and Mps and that broad from the NP. Who the hell is that bit*h?One would think she's the cheer leader for Harpers regime and all that chatter really grates ones nerve. Surely CBC could find someone else to replace her on P&P
And yet the bought and paid for Media still continues to make excuses for the worst PM to ever sit in the PMO. Wait until that dirty laundry comes out.

Not sure if anyone caught Don Martin chatting with Ignatieff this evening on Power Play. Practically eggin' him on to admit all 3 parties are forming that evul coalition all because all 3 parties have said they would not support the budget. Pretty disingenuous if you ask me.

Coalitions to kill people are alright. but not coalitions to help people.
Of course, all Ignatieff has to do is to campaign to the coalition of Canadian voters who have sustained liberal democracy in Canada, and who have formed the majority of voters who have voted anything but Harper three elections in a row.

E-Reading in Africa
Back in 2008, a World Bank study on Textbooks and School Library Provision in Secondary Education in Sub-Saharan Africa [pdf] noted that "There is little or no evidence in any of the 19 countries reviewed of any systematic approach to, or consideration of, the full range of secondary textbook cost reduction strategies", adding that "Only 1 out of 19 countries studied (Botswana) had adequate textbook provision at close to a 1:1 ratio for all subjects and all grades."
In other words: There aren't enough textbooks for most students in Africa, and what is available is too expensive.
A number of groups are looking at this reality and wondering if the use of inexpensive e-book readers may be able to help. One such group at the World Bank is exploring an e-book pilot initiative in Nigeria (which has been examined previously on the EduTech blog). This pilot is looking at what it might take to deliver textbooks in digital formats for reading by secondary school students on dedicated e-readers, and what might happen as a result. It is not just looking at the use of official textbooks, however. The project team is also seeking to investigate the potential impact on educational achievement of making small libraries of digital books available to students on e-readers. In doing so, it is intrigued by studies such as Family scholarly culture and educational success: Books and schooling in 27 nations, which found that


text: With a tree view users can view and interact with a hierarchically arranged collection of objects, using either single selection or multiple selections. In a tree, objects that contain data are called leaf nodes and objects that contain other objects are called container nodes. A single, top-most container node is called the root node. A tree view is the appropriate control for items that have a single, natural, hierarchical categorization that's familiar to most users with more than two levels (not including the root node). But having hierarchical data doesn't mean a tree view must be used. Very often a list view or a combination of list view and drop-down list is a simpler, yet more powerful choice. The disadvantage of a tree view is that users may not completely understand the layout of the tree, but they will form a mental model of the relationships after interacting with the tree for a while. If that mental model is incorrect, it leads to confusion. The challenge when designing a tree is to balance discoverability with a predictable user model that minimizes confusion.

I get differing opinions on a couple of things as I reassemble my 1926 Model T roadster. I have been told not to bother installing the splash shields between the engine and the chassis as they will cause the engine to run hotter? I'm sure there will be differing opinions on this too but I can't help but wonder. Thank you!
Here is some info:
Some say that the engine runs cooler with them on some say the opposite. Maybe a vote would be in order??
You should always put on the engine pans. The right one will catch the drips from your manifold cooker. :-)
The splash shields help engine cooling and keep the engine cleaner. They do not interfere with any maintenance so far as I can see. On several occasions they have captured parts or tools that otherwise would have been lost forever.
I put engine pans on my Coupelet chassis (no body yet). Then when I wanted to open the drain valve on the bottom of the carburetor, I realized that that was not possible with the pan in place. I left that side off for now; will replace it later.
I had the engine pans on my '26 roadster pickup until I had to tighten the oil pan bolts. couldn't get to the top and the bottom at the same time without help, so I just took them off.Can't say it runs any different as far as heating, but I sure miss not having to climb under to retrieve whatever I dropped ;>) Steve
Those look nice to have on if you have a restored car. I have a friend that has them, the only thing is removing them for any work that involves that area.
I have them on the 1914 Town Car and on mine there is a hole under the carb to allow access for the drain. Mine look like those in the Mac catalog, even though I bought them at a swap meet.
Splash shields go between the running board and the body. Engine pans go between the frame and the engine. Splash aprons go under the radiator. Hope this helps!
Has anyone fabricated a "splash pan' not for "splashes" but for the purpose of catching oil drips....kinda like a T diaper?
Henry made them pans, and assembly line guys put them on, mechanics over and over worked on T's and put the pans on and off, not much work to do this.
When one sees a 'barn' T, if the pans are in place you know the mechanics or the owner took some patience and care with that original Lizzie
Service Manual photos of assembly
The complete look for a T engine, pans in place.
Whilst assembling my "new" 1913 I grabbed the old pans from my last '13. Oops, LHD pans will not fit onto a RHD car! Does anyone have a set of 1913 RHD pans sitting around you no longer want?
OOPS! Hi, Terry.
My 14 Touring has the "engine pans" on it and I like them. For whatever reason I can open the carb drain with them on and there is a small hole under the carb for the gas to drain out. On a long tour my oil cap came off and the pan held it till the next rest stop where I found it. If the pan was not in place I would have lost the nice original brass cap. They also make good tool holders for normal maintenance.
Hmm - the carb drain valve on my '15 is easy to open with the engine pans in place. Did you tighten yours with a monkey wrench Mike? Mine opens with a finger and a thumb, same way it closes.
My Dad, who rode in T's when they were new, and grew up around them, said NOBODY ever put them back on. He was sure that his Fordor had never had the engine out, because it had pans on it. I wish I would have never found both serial numbers while he was alive They do not match.
I follow one simple 'rule'...if it has engine pans when I buy it, they stay on...if no side pans when I buy it, I don't go look for a set to add.
I really find no differences in operation, maintenance, repair or even house keeping. Something extra to clean, but not a hassle.
On the '15, I 'think' the alignment of the hole mentioned by Mike might have something to do with the carb selected for use. For personal reasons, I run NH with offset bowl drain on all of my cars. Just makes life easier for me as they round-robin thru when needed on the various cars and are about the simplest/bullet-proof carb going. I 'can' get to the drain from below and still use fingers on the '15 with the side pans in place, but it 'would' be easier if I changed that to a center drain bowl. I don't know how the other make of carb would line up but a center drain sure looks like it would align, maybe not dead center but close enough.
My '15 has a 1/4" drain hole in the engine pan below the carb George. It would be pretty hard to get at from below........
The 1923 - 27 pans have a hand sized hole below the carb.
Do all the 26-7 pans have two hole below the carb? I assume on for the vaporizer, and another for the other?
I believe the two hole engine pans are for 1927, and were replacements for all T's toward the end. A true 1925-6 engine pan is the same, but with one hole, since they were still using NH'S and L-4's in '26. Tom Rootlieb just made me a custom one for my '25, and did a very nice job too. I just couldn't find one that was nice enough to restore.
Guess I learn something new every day...love reading this forum
I have never worried about engine pans as my previous post says, but alas...I just went out and crawled under the '15 as it is bucked up to a wall and covered for the winter behind the fordor and behind the hack and mine does have pans, but the right side pan has a huge hole under the carb. One punched that way or added with a knockout die.
I have always felt my '15 has been pretty pure as it was fairly low mileage known provenance when it finally came to me after a lifetime of waiting, and has all the correct do-dads to be a true '15 Roadster. I went in the tranny just this past summer for the first time and was really surprised, clean as a whistle, no visual wear, smooth as silk, etc. But now...I think it may have a later pan on that side....sigh.
No challenge, just a request for help now that you brought it up. On the '15, I'd like for the pan to be right (boy does this tiger change his stripes quick on pans...hah!) as the rest of the car is and while not Rip Van Winkle, nearly unmolested otherwise.
I just did a quick look-up in my 'stuff' for future mental reference on what to be on the lookout for and the best I can come up with is this, as fuzzy as it is. From the 1915 parts book.
Can you explain what the right pan shows as what looks to be some kind of cut-out, or show a pic of the right side on your '15? I don't have anything else close I can go look at.
Yes, the illustration in the parts book is accurate. The little black dot is the drain hole. It is actually 3/8", still too small to use to open the drain valve on the carb.
The pan from the '15 is off for repairs, it cracked pretty badly. I have to do some welding on it.
Lang's offers a fairly accurate looking reproduction:
Thank you very much!
I couldn't figure out what the picture was showing for the right...its a pocket with a hole!
Got it, stored in memory and if I do forget, I'll at least remember where.
You'd think it would run hotter with the pans but I guess that's what the hood louvers were for. They were there on two '23 Tourings and a '27 Tudor. They stayed in place.

Medical coding common errors
In nomenclature coding, that's the one most commonly utilized in medical coding, there's a distinct code for each and every clinical notion. It is a major factor in obtaining insurance reimbursement as well as maintaining patient records. It is considered to be a complicated subject that requires accuracy and meticulousness on the part of the coder. It is a little bit like translation. It is a field that is connected to a booming industry that will definitely expand and become more and more advanced in the future. It is a relatively new industry, having a lot of potential and scope.
Unlike a lot of professions, medical coding isn't learned at work, at least not initially. It is one of the largest growing professions today, as it has become one of the most lucrative job sectors in the healthcare industry. It is basically the most important aspect of healthcare. It is one of the most booming sector in recent days. It is one of the rare industry, people starts their career.
Medical coders should be detail-oriented and have good computer abilities. They have a vital role in healthcare industry. They earn a lucrative living and most of them have flexible scheduling options.Billing is a very significant and specialized task which requires a lot of details and a shift is the medical coding software can alter the sum that is to be claimed from the insurance providers. Medical billing is a procedure of submitting and adhering to the claims linked to the medical insurance firms, in order to obtain the payments for the services rendered by means of a healthcare provider. Effortless access to billing teamWhen you would like to perform the in-house medical billing, you might have a simple accessibility to the billing group or the billers. Currently, there are lots of big and small dental billing and coding companies offering an assortment of dental billing services.
Upon the request of the outsourcing supplier, the health care firm should supply the inclusive performance reports, therefore, it would provide you with a clearer visibility in your billing operations. There are a lot of companies offering medical billing services around the nation. The outsourcing firms would be well-equipped with the newest software or technology, and therefore, you don't need to spend on buying machine etc..


text: Upper Midwest Gets Pummeled June 20, 2014 09:00 AM Tweet "This is before the last big rain of 5+ inches," says a Sibley County, Minn., grower. "Yes, that is a 30-acre lake in a 65-acre field. This is a very common sight in the county and throughout southern Minnesota." TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Jen Russell AgWeb Product & Project Manager Email Rain, hail and tornadoes blasted the upper Midwest over the past week, causing flooding, mudslides and turning cropland into lakes. According to the StarTribune, up to 6 inches of rain fell in Minneapolis-St. Paul area, and 35 Minnesota counties have declared emergencies. Hail decimated cornfields in the southwestern corner of the state, and many fields are under water. Some farmers from the area have reported on the damage to AgWeb's Crop Comments. Here's what they had to say: Winnebago County, Iowa: Acres and acres under water. Hail and wind damage. Rivers and creeks flooded, gullies washed everywhere. A lot of damage has occurred across widespread areas of Minnesota and northern Iowa this week. LeSueur County, Minn.: Minnesota...land of 10 million lakes! Sibley County, Minn.: All the good to excellent corn must be elsewhere than in this county. Many fields still not touched due to wetness, corn small and yellow due to oversaturation. I expect some big surprises on actual acres planted and the actual yields. South Central Minn.: Corn flat to the ground after last night's storm. Streak of hail on some to our west. Many acres under water. Corn was already yellow and uneven. Predicting severe storms every day this week. We don't get record crops in this part of the country when it rains like this. Assessing the Damage According to University of Minnesota Extension, young corn can survive flood conditions for 2 to 4 days, depending on the temperature, how much of the plants are submerged and how quickly the water recedes. "Corn plants that survived flooded conditions should show new leaf development within 3 to 5 days after water recedes," say U of M Extension agronomists. "Flooding and saturated conditions also restrict root development, thereby reducing the crop's ability to take up water and nutrients and tolerate drought stress later in the season." Soybeans, on the other hand, can tolerate flooded conditions a little longer. "Although soybean is generally sensitive to excess water, soybeans can survive underwater for a week or more under ideal conditions," the agronomists say. Farmers whose fields have flooded will need to take into consideration replanting decisions, nitrogen management and the development of seedling diseases. Additionally, some growers may need to assess hail damage to their corn and soybean crops. University of Minnesota Extension agronomists Jeff Coulter and Seth Naeve offer some tips for assessing hail damage and deciding whether to replant or press on with the current crop. "For those producers who choose to keep their existing crops, care should be taken to ensure that these fields produce as much as possible," they say.

Man Mistakes Phone Call From Dog for Burglar
Recently, a man from Orem, Utah was away from his house when he received a call on his cell phone from his home number. But instead of a voice on the other end, he heard nothing but banging and scratching noises and began to fear his home was being burglarized. So he called the cops. But when they arrived there was no indication of a robbery or foul play of any kind.
Then, when the man got home, he realized what had happened. His dog had grabbed the house phone and buried it in the backyard. While he was doing so, he hit the redial button and contacted his owner's cell phone.
The man called the cops and told them what had happened. Mystery solved. Now the dilemma is harnessing the dog's ability to use a phone for something more productive. Like ordering pizza. Or talking to the man's mother-in-law.

As the world has watched the dreadful string of attempts to stanch the flow of oil from its source a mile down in the Gulf of Mexico, it's a good time to consider ways people can make a positive difference in the ocean.
That petroleum bubbling from the seabed is used to make plastic, and, at an alarming rate, that plastic returns to the ocean as pollution.
We've all been watching the BP cam of the broken oil well. But did you know that for quite some time, cameras have logged the swirling gyre in the ocean nicknamed the Pacific Garbage Patch? Did you know that the environmental devastation Atlantic Ocean is not new?
These ocean catastrophes did not begin with a fiery explosion. They began with a disposable cup, just like the cup you likely used at that weekend barbecue.
By one estimate, the ocean has already been corrupted by 200 billion pounds of plastic pollution. Other experts estimate that we are now dumping additional billions of pounds of plastic each year.
The number continues to grow, driven by our ever-increasing consumption of things like plastic toothbrushes, toys, and combs, and single-use items like plastic bags, bottles, and straws.
Whatever happened to that mantra "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle"? Today the recycling part of that has taken off somewhat. But is it too little, too late? A placebo, a myth?
We are simply using too much disposable plastic for the small percentage that gets recycled to even make a dent. And, unlike paper, glass, or stainless steel, most plastic can only be "down-cycled," or used for increasingly fewer purposes. All the recycling, like using a teaspoon to empty the ocean, simply can't stem the tide of plastic engulfing us.
Billions of pounds of plastic? That's like a few million cars dumped into the sea every year. Maybe we let it happen because the pounds accumulate not by one-ton car increments but by fractions of an ounce – a straw here, a plastic bag there, an empty shampoo bottle over there. When we're doing it one plastic bottle cap at a time, it's hard to realize that we are turning the ocean into a trash can.
Will an ocean cleanup be effective?
Certainly any effort to clean up our polluted seas is to be applauded, but we should also make sure the work is worth the effort.
In the Gulf of Mexico, the arguably toxic oil-dispersant sprays and containment strategies seem woefully insufficient when barrels of oil churn each day from the source below. Is an ocean cleanup an equally futile effort when we're replacing the garbage that's there more quickly than we could ever scoop it up?
So much of the garbage creating these shameful plastic gyres is single-use disposable plastic.
The most powerful thing people can do to clean up the oceans is to refuse to use "disposable" plastics in the first place. Let's add "Refuse" to the list of R's: Refuse-Reduce-Reuse-Recycle. Until we reduce our use of plastics wherever possible, real change will not happen. Recycling or cleanup projects alone won't cut it.
So what does that mean?
Just say no to single-use plastic
It means that whenever you can, say no to using plastic that will end up in the garbage that same day. Daily life offers countless ways to start saying no – just start with one.
Once a day, refuse to use a plastic bag, a plastic bottle, straws, takeout containers, disposable cups, utensils, or unnecessary packaging. Start there. Phase out the single-use plastics in your life, reuse the ones you already have as much as you can, and then change your habits: Choose reusable products. Take all of your plastic containers to the nearest recycling center and don't replace them.
Then, begin choosing products sold in glass, metal, cardboard, and paper instead of plastic. These materials can be more effectively recycled or, when it's paper, biodegrade in water or landfills.
What about jobs in disposable plastic?
According to the American Chemistry Council (ACC), roughly 1 million people make a living off developing and manufacturing plastic. But reducing plastic pollution doesn't have to mean reducing jobs.
Members of the ACC who develop plastic should keep jobs by developing new, safe, biodegradable alternatives to plastic that do not leach toxins or contaminate the earth as they biodegrade. Plastic manufacturers should have a plan for end-of-life for each of their products and own up to their responsibilities.
Recycling or even reusing alone will not reduce the plastic waste on our planet if we continue to create more and more disposable plastic products every day. As the United States buckles down to months of Gulf oil spill cleanup, we must take advantage of that momentum to save the oceans.
Plastic pollution poses a massive threat to the health of our oceans. If we don't reduce dependence upon and production of single-use plastic alongside that cleanup and recycling, we are engaged in a somewhat Sisyphean task.
Life without plastic pollution is possible. Try it.

Vic Zodda still knows talent when he sees it.
About three weeks shy of 90, this Peninsula baseball pioneer watched the hometown team Tuesday at War Memorial Stadium, and when Pilots catcher Chris Cowell uncorked a throw to second base, Zodda took immediate notice.
"That ball was just a few feet off the ground the whole way," he marveled. "I would have loved to have had his arm."
Back in the day, Zodda's arm was good enough to merit a Polo Grounds tryout with the New York Giants, a scholarship to Elon University and a minor-league fling with the Brooklyn Dodgers.

If you are already an RN and want to take the next step in your career with a bachelor's or master's degree, a traditional school may not be an option because of rising costs and schedule conflicts. Consider an online nursing degree.
Online nursing programs offer several advantages, including:
Several institutions of higher education are now offering online nursing programs. These include:
Making an education affordable is an important issue for almost every student. While an education in nursing online is not as expensive as a traditional education, it can be costly.
Just like traditional education, financial aid is available for online nursing courses. Schools have tuition assistance programs, and the government offers loans and grants.
Beyond these options, students may apply for scholarships. Several nursing scholarships are available. A few examples are:
The nursing shortage -- due to the matrix of an aging population, an increasing number of retiring nurses, and a shift toward more health care delivery done by skilled nurses than doctors -- means that there is a high demand and greater opportunity of advancement for nurses who have a BSN degree or higher.
And completion of advanced degrees usually results in a higher salary. Nurses with a bachelor's degree can earn salaries ranging from $55,000 to $71,000, depending on experience and specialty. Over time, with more experience and further education, salaries will increase, according to Kay Osinski, Assistant Dean at the Baker School of Nursing in Topeka, Kansas.
Hospitals and health care providers have a high demand for individuals that can also be supervisors and managers. This is why a bachelor's degree and nursing master's degree offer more opportunity for advancement. According to Osinski, as healthcare and technology always evolve, nurses should keep up-to-date on the newest information and technology.
What better way to show your grasp of technology than by holding a degree made possible by it?

Doctor Who The Angels Take Manhattan - Overnight Viewing Figures
Doctor Who was the second highest rated programme for the day with The X Factor gaining 8.7 million viewers on ITV1, but topped BBC One for the day with Casualty getting 3.7 million viewers. Red or Black lost out on the time slot against Doctor Who with 3.5 million viewers.
More viewers switched over to Doctor Who throughout the episode to witness the departure of Amy and Rory with a peak of 6.4 million in the final 5 minutes of the programme.
These ratings put Doctor Who 19th for the week with Sunday's ratings still to come. The final consolidated figures will be available next week.
Asylum of the Daleks - 6.4 million (overnight) 8.3 million (final figure)
Dinosaurs on a Spaceship - 5.5 million (overnight) 7.57 million (final figure)
A Town Called Mercy - 6.6 million (overnight) 8.42 million (final figure)
The Power of Three - 5.49 million (overnight) TBA (final figures)
The Angels Take Manhattan - 5.9 million (overnight) TBA (final figures)

I think the only reason it is 3rd is because many people didn't want to see Amy and Rory leaving

Nope. Script quality declined over the episodes.
Asylum of the Daleks had Daleks so the ratings are bound to be high.
The dinosaur episode everyone viewed as filler so views dropped until word of mouth spread - becoming the final view figure.
A town called Mercy got even higher ratings because the Doctor was emotional in the trailer for that episode - whenever the Doctor might end up losing it and killing someone draws in views.
The power of three was once again a filler episode so views plummeted.
Meanwhile The Angels take Manhattan was overly disappointing with a trailer that showed off pretty much all the twists except the predictable graveyard ending.
Final figures will look something like this;
