My original intention was to Google the story about the 32 monkeys that died when a Nevada lab overheated. Charles River Laboratories is one of 26 registered US importers of primates (others on the list include zoos, universities and private labs). An article on Foxnews.com indicated that 27, 388 primates were imported into the US in 2008, with an average of 25,000 primates being imported in the last four years. In 2008, Charles River housed over 10,000 primates at their facility alone.
The company's history traces back to the 1940s when veterinarian Dr. Henry L. Foster bought a Maryland rat farm for breeding purposes. Later, on a trapping expedition in the Himalayas, Foster returned to the states with several Rhesus monkeys to create a quick-breeding stock of 800. The monkeys were bred on two Florida islands where workers captured 400-500 a year to be sold to labs worldwide.
When I keyed "monkey" into the search engine, "monkeys for sale" immediately appeared in the drop-down list. Curious and appalled, I clicked on it. Monkeys for sale in Canada? I clicked through the pages and found a Japanese Snow monkey for $6,500, posted by Northern Exotics near Sudbury, Ontario. "This is a legit sale and not a scam as so often seen with monkeys." There was also a baby female Snow monkey for $3,500, OBO.
The Northern Exotics site also boasted Jamaican Fruit bats, armadillos, sugar gliders and Fennec foxes. In Montreal, Quebec, Pastor Emmanuel and his wife Cindy have an advert that says they "are giving out cute baby marmosets for adoption to any Christian, pet loving and caring family." The babies are house-raised, diaper and leash trained, wear clothes and like to watch TV.
The primatestore. com had a Christmas special on infant black-handed spider monkeys—only $9,000 each. Tentatively, I keyed in "Chimps for sale." I was stunned. There were several listings for chimps in Texas and Ohio. One of the links led me to a 2008 SPCA report on the rescue of Henry, a 23-year-old chimp who was found at an emaciated 60 pounds (half the body weight of a healthy chimp) in a cage so small that it caused him severe spinal deformities. The cage was littered with empty soda cans and cigarette butts.
On the site PRLog Free Press Release I came across this headline: "We Sale Big Monkeys, Chimpanzees, Orang tuans, Gorillas." They advertised worldwide delivery in two to three working days to America, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Europe. Here's a cut and paste of the ad at http://www.prlog.org/10564281-we-sale-big-monkeys-chimpanzees-lion-orang-utans-gorillas.html :
PR Log (Press Release) – Mar 08, 2010 – You need a monkey babies or old ? a chimpanzee, orang utans, gorillas, big cats, panter please call us tehn we can get it done within 2 working days deliver to your home or you can pick it up payment upon receival we can also trains this animals for you in additional 6 weeks time.
I remember the day Chantal, Sevrine and I were driving out to a quarry for a picnic (in the Congo). We saw a sinewy Congolese boy in his early teens at the roadside. As our vehicle approached he lifted a dik dik in the air (a dik dik is a small, antelope-like animal). He began shouting at us as we slowed down. The dik dik was for sale. I hadn't even seen a dik dik in the wild the entire month I was there, and was saddened to see a young one for sale that would most likely be bought as a pet by an expat, or slaughtered.
The image of the dik dik still haunts me, as does the arrival of Ikia, the chimp who was flown to the J.A.C.K. chimp sanctuary where I volunteered in Lubumbashi. She arrived dehydrated and limp-bodied, and died less than 12 hours later in the arms of Augustin. She was bought for $120 US on the roadside of Kalemie in a burlap sack bound with twigs.
Writing this post, I feel the dull pulse of a headache. It's one that stems from frustration, and when I find another ad for a chimp for sale in Yellowknife, posted December 28th, I am exasperated. For $700, "King," an eight-month-old chimp comes with a complete instruction book and other toys and accessories.
I need Jane Goodall on speed dial. Chimps and monkeys are not intended as pets. We can all easily recall the disturbing images of Charla Nash who was attacked by her friend's chimp in Stamford, Connecticut, can't we? The chimp was eventually shot by police due to his aggression. Nash is suing her friend, Sandra Herold, for $50 million saying she "was negligent and reckless for lacking the ability to control a wild animal with violent propensities."
Travis, Herold's chimp, had lived with her for 14 years. He had appeared in several TV commercials and a television pilot, as well as promotional events for Herold's towing business. Nash is left blind, wearing a veil so she doesn't scare people with her unsightly appearance.
I returned to the article on the Nevada research monkeys that were killed by human error. The company was charged just last year when a monkey was scalded to death after it was accidentally sent through an automatic cage washer.
Andrew Westoll, author of The Riverbones had posted the original article on his Facebook profile page. Westoll, a former biologist and primatologist who decided to focus on his dynamic writing talent is to publish Thirteen Chimpanzees in the spring of 2011. The thirteen chimps he writes about have spent decades in US biomedical research labs and have now found a safe haven at the Fauna Foundation in Quebec. The chimps share the farm with over a hundred other rehabilitating animals rescued from the entertainment industry, research labs or agriculture. Fauna is their forever home. As the home page for the Foundation promises, the animals are provided with companionship and enrichment, "free from the fear and hardships they have known."
I clicked on the chimp In Remembrance page, knowing that I would be inconsolable. I read about Donna Rae, the chimp who came from the Animal Kingdom Talent Service. She learned to ride a bike and how to play the guitar. In her last five years at a lab, she was used in HIV studies that involved lymph node and bone marrow biopsies. Following one intervention, she actually went into shock from the pain. The obituary reads: "constantly mutilating herself, Donna always looked as though she had given up all hope."
I read about Pablo who chewed off one of his fingers, clearly the direct result of being darted over 220 times, enduring 30 biopsies and being injected with 10,000 times the lethal dose of HIV.
In 1959, Annie was stolen from her family in Africa. She became part of the circus before spending 21 years in the lab as a breeder. Billy was often found having panic attacks so violent that he would be left convulsing. His teeth had been knocked out by a crow bar. After 15 years in the entertainment industry, he was knocked out 289 times for 40 liver and lymph node biopsies. He eventually chewed off his own thumbs. Jean was inoculated with HIV after several cervical biopsies. After a nervous breakdown she removed all of her fingernails. Her aggressive seizures led to "floating hand and foot," a condition that led her to attack her own feet and hands, as though they were not her own.
Fifteen years ago I wrote a feature for Cockroach magazine, a publication of the Environmental Youth Alliance, where I worked in Vancouver, BC. It was an expose of the bear bile and bear part trade industry in China. There are currently 7,000 bears on bear bile farms in China, caged and exploited for their bile which is used in traditional Chinese medicine. The bears have surgically implanted tubes in their gall bladders and are "milked" twice a day. Once they stop producing bile (between five and ten years of age), the bears are left to die of starvation or illness, or killed so the farm can sell their paws ($250 each). In the15 years since I wrote that article, the farms have grown in size and production.
In the documentary The Cove I watched the waters of Taiji, Japan turn scarlet red with the slaughter of dolphins. Over 20,000 dolphins and porpoises are killed every year, driven to shore by the fishing boats where they are harpooned. Due to suffocating media pressure and response to the documentary, Taiji actually called for a temporary ban on killing bottlenose dolphins.
Exposure brings education, hope and change.
The news seems to be littered with abominable stories of animal abuse lately. Like the 11 rare Siberian tigers who died at a zoo in Beijing. There is speculation that zoos in China may be deliberately breeding more animals than they can afford, selling the carcasses to the black market for use in traditional medicines and liquor. An article in the Hamilton Spectator reported the tigers starved to death, having been fed nothing but chicken bones. Since, there have been reports of tiger farms steeping the bones of deceased tigers in liquor which is then sold to visitors.
There are 300 Siberian tigers left in the wild, 50 in China. Five thousand more live in captivity on farms and wildlife parks across China.
I could go on.
However, there is hope. Jane Goodall says so. She is lecturing in Toronto next week, celebrating the 50th anniversary of her plight to bring the story of her chimps in Gombe, Tanzania to the world. Her latest book, Hope For Animals and Their World, How Endangered Species are Being Rescued From the Brink (co-authored with Thane Maynard and Gail Hudson) spotlights the enormous efforts of several individuals and field biologists who have truly saved several species from the brink. Her message is uplifting, and instils motivation. She dedicates the book to "the memory of Martha, the last passenger pigeon—and to the last Miss Waldron's colobus monkey and the last Yangtze River dolphin. As we think of their lonely end, may we be inspired to work harder to prevent others suffering a similar fate."
Please watch The Cove. Read about the Flora Foundation. Become a fan of Andrew Westoll's Thirteen Chimpanzees on Facebook.. Buy tickets to see empowering speakers like Jane, a woman who has given her life to a crusade that should remind us all of the fragility and interconnectedness we share with animals on this Earth.

Hi mates! Since the official forums are back, we've thought to drop some lines to tell you our story, mainly for those of you who are new
So, if you're interested, here it is: enjoy!
When Syberia came out (2002), an official website for the game did exist, at the address http://www.syberia.info, with a clumsy community area. Some of us are even that old... When the game sequel was officially announced, a new website did open, replacing the old one; the new address was http://www.syberia2.info (also reachable at http://www.syberia2-game.com).
On this new site the community area was much more developed, with a phpbb forum uniting users from all over the world, offering sections in different languages (English, French and Italian), in which some official members of the relative national publisher of the games also took part.
Unfortunately, Microïds, the company behind Syberia, was having financial issues since the times before the publication of Syberia 2. In 2003 Microïds, gone bankruptcy, joined with MC2, creating the brand MC2-Microïds, with which the developers of Syberia 2 signed the game in 2004, when it was available in stores. The problems though had not been solved, and at the end of 2004 the company seemed to be closed, in liquidation, with only a bookkeeper to estimate what can still be sold! During the first months of 2005 part of it had been acquired by the Canadian studios of Ubisoft (an important videogames publisher).
The consequences of all these facts have been the closure of the official website and the official forum as well, which first had intermittent technical problems and in the end wasn't available anymore.
At the end of 2005 some users of the official forum decided to open a new unofficial Syberia bulletin board, at the address http://forumsyberia2.free.fr, cloning the whole old forum in graphics and structure, with sections for different international users. Via email (thanks God, some users had exchanged their addresses) many old users were contacted and summoned, and during 2006 the community was almost completely reconstructed, even with new people!
Since summer 2007, MC2-Microids official website is live again! The address http://www.microids.com initially showed just the message "Coming soon to your screen..."; despite the difficulties, then, the company never ceased its activities, and came back to life to publish some adventure titles in North America.
Some months later, the site populated with info about their products, and during the second quarter of 2008 two big titles were announced: Still Life 2 and a conversion of Syberia for Nintendo DS, scheduled for October, 2008!
Consequently, on July 2008 the new official websites of the two games were opened, and Syberia came back with having an official space at the address http://www.syberia-series.com... Thanks to the contacts with Microids people, we found an agreement to make our unofficial forum become the new official forum for Syberia, now hosted on Microids servers at the address http://www.syberia-series.com/forum.
We can say that our community has come back to its original location, stronger than ever!
P.S.: You can try and surf the old webpages searching their URLs at http://web.archive.org if you want an idea of how did they look like

Double Fantasy
Power To The People – The Hits
John Lennon Anthology
The final single to be released from Double Fantasy was written by John Lennon about his househusband years away from the music industry.
It's a song version of the love letter from John and Yoko. It's an answer to 'What have you been doing?' 'Well, I've been doing this – watchin' the wheels.'
All We Are Saying, David Sheff
The song began life as Emotional Wreck, of which Lennon recorded a demo in late 1977. He had the central piano motif and the opening lines, but it took many revisions before Watching The Wheels eventually emerged.
By 1978 Emotional Wreck had become a work-in-progress titled People. Although the chorus was yet to be written, the verses and piano chords were in place.
The following year it had been retitled I'm Crazy, which was recorded at Lennon's home in the Dakota on a piano. I'm Crazy contained some lyrics which were left out of Watching The Wheels: "People say I'm stupid/Giving my money away/They give me all kinds of names and addresses/Designed to save me financially."
Watching The Wheels was an answer to the critics who questioned why Lennon had retreated from the music industry. In the 1970s it was common for artists to release an album each year, and extended spells away from the public eye were considered unusual. Lennon had grown tired of the routine and, burnt by the excesses of the Lost Weekend and committed to raising his young son Sean, he had retreated to a life of domesticity.
I hadn't stopped from '62 till '73 – on demand, on schedule, continuously. And walking away was hard. What it seemed like to me was, This must be what guys go through at sixty-five when suddenly they're not supposed to exist any more and they are sent out of the office. I thought, Well, oughtn't I? Shouldn't I? Shouldn't I be, like, going to the office or something? Because I don't exist if my name isn't in the papers or if I don't have a record out or in the charts, or whatever – if I'm not seen at the right clubs. It must be like the guys at sixty-five when somebody comes up and goes, 'Your life is over. Time for golf.'
All We Are Saying, David Sheff
The wheels in question were partly literal – the vehicles that Lennon could see from his sixth-floor vantage point at the Dakota – and partly figurative. The idea of passively observing cogs turning in a machine was a theme in Lennon's songs going right back to Nowhere Man on The Beatles' 1965 album Rubber Soul.
Watching the wheels? The whole universe is a wheel, right? Wheels go round and round. They're my own wheels, mainly. But, you know, watching meself is like watching everybody else. And I watch meself through my child, too.
Rolling Stone
In the studio
Watching The Wheels was recorded at the Hit Factory studio in New York City on 18 August 1980. Lennon recorded his vocals on 20 September, and it was mixed nine days later.
A hammer dulcimer was also overdubbed as an accompaniment to the piano part. This was played by Matthew Cunningham, a street musician from New York's Greenwich Village who was invited to the sessions by producer Jack Douglas and engineer Lee DeCarlo.
Jack heard this guy named Matthew Cunningham playing dulcimer on the street and he was good. This guy was a real hippie with stringy long hair. He was a typical street musician. They brought him in to play dulcimer on Watching The Wheels. He came in looking pretty spaced out. When you play the dulcimer you sit in that Indian position on the floor. Jack told me, 'Tony, go out there and make sure he's in tune.' So I went over to the piano and plucked out some notes and he kept shaking his head and said, 'That sounds sour, that's not in tune,' but it was. So he's sitting there playing along with the track and the tape stops. John was standing up in the control room and said something to him over the talkback. Matt squinted his eyes, looking at him, and said, 'What's your name?' And John gets back on the talkback and says 'My name's John.' This guy's just staring at him and goes, 'Hi, John.' And then John says, 'Hi, Matt' and then I see them all laughing in there because this guy didn't know who he was. Apparently, he was the only person in the country who wouldn't know John Lennon.
Starting Over, Ken Sharp
The recording also featured Lennon and George Small each playing pianos.
That's the most keyboard-oriented song on the record. It's not so guitar-driven as much of the other material. That's me on piano and John played a Yamaha electric grand. I'm also playing organ and all those Prophet 5 synthesizer parts, the thing that sounds like a French horn. On the ending part – where John sings, 'I just had to let it go...' – he really made a big point of making sure that I had played that romantic piano line on the tag exactly that way. He told me he was in a bar one night and was listening to a piano player and that riff just stuck in his head. So he had to have that riff on the end of it.
Starting Over, Ken Sharp
Watching The Wheels was issued as a posthumous single on 13 March 1981 in the United States, and 27 March in the United Kingdom. It peaked at numbers 10 and 30 in the countries' respective singles charts. The b-side was Yoko Ono's song Yes, I'm Your Angel.
The single was issued with a cover photograph featuring Lennon and Ono walking away from the Dakota building. It was taken by Paul Goresh, an amateur photographer who had become friendly with Lennon. Goresh took a number of photographs of Lennon in 1980, including an infamous one of him signing a copy of Double Fantasy for Mark David Chapman just hours before he died.

Among the best things about living in Southern California is the opportunity to experience the food and fun of different cultures. Two years ago in Pasadena, the 626 Night Market launched as an imitation of food bazaars in Asia.
"I decided to do it because I spent a lot of time in Taiwan where there were a lot of night markets," Johnny Hwang said. "Having lived in the San Gabriel Valley, the 626 area east of L.A., there's a lot of Asians and Asian restaurants and businesses, the only thing that missing was the night market so I thought it would be interesting to put one together."
The 626 Night Market boasted about 80 vendors and drew such a good crowd, that in 2013, it was relocated to Santa Anita Park in Arcadia, Hwang said. More than 50,000 people attended.
This year the event has expanded to downtown Los Angeles, set for June 20-21 outside Staples Center, called DTLA (for downtown Los Angeles) Night Market. The 626 Night Market also will be held July 18-19, Aug. 15-16 and Sept. 12-13 at Santa Anita Park. There also was a Night Market at the Orange County Fairgrounds in May.
In addition to more dates and sites, the Night Market has grown from food and merchandise booths to food trucks, art displays and demonstrations, music, dance and theatrical performances, film screenings and contests.
"There's a lot of fun and different activities at our event," Hwang said. "It goes beyond an Asian night market. We like to think of it as a platform for the community to come out, whether they come out as vendors or artists or performers or just as participants."
Night Market co-organizer Aileen Xu said that the emphasis is still on food. There will be red bean corn dogs, ramen burgers, short rib grilled cheese sandwiches, rice burgers and other items. Xu is looking forward to trying the lobster rolls and the potted ice cream, which resembles a potted plant.
"People are always experimenting and trying new things," Xu said. "The event reflects the community and the talent around us. It's a good place to try new things."
Los Angeles residents Nick Bernal and his wife Yaebin Bernal run the company Frio Frito and will be vending at Night Market Los Angeles. They make Mexican-styled deep fried ice cream. The vanilla ice cream is coated with a pancake type batter, rolled in corn flakes and topped with cinnamon and sugar.
"I used to eat fried ice cream all the time when I was a kid," Nick Bernal said "You don't see it any more all that much."
After testing their product at parties, the couple began selling the sweet treats at farmers' markets, like the Motor Avenue Farmers Market held in Los Angeles on Sundays. Frio Frito's offerings have expanded to several more items, including ChurroFries, French fry-sized churros, which are served with chipotle chocolate, dulce de leche or agave berry sauce.
A friend who has participated in Night Market recommended that the Bernals bring their goodies there as well. The couple went to Night Market Orange County in May and were pleased to see lines of happy, hungry people for all the food vendors.
"It's a good wholesome time," Bernal said.
Hwang credits the success of Night Market to his use of social media as a marketing tool. Social media has promoted the ideas of foodies and "food porn," he said, and has spurred an interest in exploring new dishes. One area that is not as well known or appreciated is the wide range of Asian cuisine, Hwang said.
"We're such a big part of the population here, and there's a lot of different food that comes from our culture," Hwang said.
"The Asian community embraced the concept of Night Market and Night Market resonates with Asians, so we know what's really our core audience and it's grown from there," Hwang said.
What was once a primarily Asian event is now drawing a more diverse crowd as a festival that supports local businesse, he added. T
Buying advance tickets online at www.626nightmarket.com is recommended, as the Night Markets tend to sell out early, Hwang said.

If you have ever wanted to hear John Davis say the words "turbo, dubs, and bling" in succession, then have I got a video for you!
Those words are practically the first things uttered by our favorite motoring presenter in this, a MotorWeek tour de force review of a Celica-powered Corolla.
The high-po Corolla is just as long as before, but it's a half inch lower to improve stance and handling. Yes. Stance. Remember, the Corolla XRS has the same engine as the Lotus Elise, so, it stands to reason that this is basically a Lotus Elise.
The hot rod Corolla (not our words) feels downright athletic (again, not our words).
Ok, stop reading this. Watch the XRS beige up every road of Maryland to an absurd degree.
MotorWeek Theater is our showcase of some of our favorite classic reviews from public television's finest motoring program. How does this video only have 33,650 views on YouTube? It's a lesson in beige!

Often there are "reserved" tickets to an event that are for a certain seat. Section 10, row G, seat 5.
Other areas are "general admission" where the seats (or lawn area) are claimed by those who get to the venue eariliest on the day of the event.

Heltzen necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 202 diseños de 58 diseñadores freelance.
BlueSEQ is the worlds first web-portal for R&D people, that works within DNA research projects.
- Win this logo project and have a great chance to become our new ad-hoc designer for the portal!
New DNA technologies are now able to be used for research and diagnostics for e.g. genetic based sicknesses. The technologies are pt. developing very very fast and researchers around the world has a hard time keeping the overview over the possibilities that the new development is bringing them.
BlueSEQ is a new company founded by some very experienced people from this DNA analysis market. We are right now developing and setting up the BlueSEQ web-portal, that includes; a "tech knowledge bank", some "online project design tool" and a "DNA Project Exchange". This web-portal will help researchers all around the world to understand these new technologies better. The portal help ensure that their research projects are set up with the right technologies the first time and are matched up with the right project partners.
BlueSEQ is the first and only neutral player in this market, that the researchers can go to to get neutral advice, as the rest of the players are sales people from commercial companies, that are everything else than neutral.
After this logo design project, we will set up a webpage design project! So why not make a really nice design and win both ;-)
The target audiences are DNA researchers at Universities, Hospitals and in Biotech companies. The target people are often very intelligent people and they often have a longer university degree.
These people does not care for things that are too "pimped up" or too "glamorous". They like "clean-cut" and "functional" things that are stylish and cool looking.
Design ideas: As a big part of the portal is about being a "DNA project exchange" that provides neutral prices/new/information, it could have it a "look and feel" like of an stock exchange or a newspage:
But it should be a bit more cool, clean-cut and stylish... Here I am thinking something like the logo and webpages of Audi (that has the feel we are looking for) http://www.audiusa.com/us/brand/en.html (Audi as in: agile, powerful and stylish) and a bit of Apple http://www.apple.com/ (as in: simple, clean-cut and user-friendly)
But just ask away if you need more info - or want some extra guidance! E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com and skypeID: michaelheltzen
We are looking for a brand new logo-design. (and in next round a webpage design)
We are thinking the following when we think about our design, brand and company:
The design should show that BlueSEQ is (soon going to become) the worlds leading player of its kind.
BlueSEQ is a high-end brand with focus on quality, updated information and professionalism - all with a neutral perspective.
- we want to send the signal that we are trustworthy and providing neutral information.
We also like the "check-mark" symbol, so feel free to play with that as the logo/part of the logo. But please remember that we will like a clean-cut logo.
We like the color blue, as we find it being the color of trust and that it gives a professional look on things. Blue can also be used in many nice shades (e.g see the picture "power of blue")
BTW: The DNA technologies that we work with are called DNA Sequencing – hence the SEQ in our BlueSEQ name.
We do not wish to see the following in the logo design:
DNA strings (everybody has that in our area of business)
Too many different colors - but blue for sure (a few other could be okay, if it looks great)
I am very happy to give feedback or additional info, so feel free to contact me at email@example.com or via skype ID: michaelheltzen
Please note that our design at http://www.blueseq.com is temporary, and not what we are looking for.

Take everything they earn, and it still won't be enough.
President Obama has laid out the most ambitious and expensive domestic agenda since LBJ, and now all he has to do is figure out how to pay for it. On Tuesday, he left the impression that we need merely end "tax breaks for the wealthiest 2% of Americans," and he promised that households earning less than $250,000 won't see their taxes increased by "one single dime."
This is going to be some trick. Even the most basic inspection of the IRS income tax statistics shows that raising taxes on the salaries, dividends and capital gains of those making more than $250,000 can't possibly raise enough revenue to fund Mr. Obama's new spending ambitions.
Consider the IRS data for 2006, the most recent year that such tax data are available and a good year for the economy and "the wealthiest 2%." Roughly 3.8 million filers had adjusted gross incomes above $200,000 in 2006. (That's about 7% of all returns; the data aren't broken down at the $250,000 point.) These people paid about $522 billion in income taxes, or roughly 62% of all federal individual income receipts. The richest 1% -- about 1.65 million filers making above $388,806 -- paid some $408 billion, or 39.9% of all income tax revenues, while earning about 22% of all reported U.S. income.
Note that federal income taxes are already "progressive" with a 35% top marginal rate, and that Mr. Obama is (so far) proposing to raise it only to 39.6%, plus another two percentage points in hidden deduction phase-outs. He'd also raise capital gains and dividend rates, but those both yield far less revenue than the income tax. These combined increases won't come close to raising the hundreds of billions of dollars in revenue that Mr. Obama is going to need.
But let's not stop at a 42% top rate; as a thought experiment, let's go all the way. A tax policy that confiscated 100% of the taxable income of everyone in America earning over $500,000 in 2006 would only have given Congress an extra $1.3 trillion in revenue. That's less than half the 2006 federal budget of $2.7 trillion and looks tiny compared to the more than $4 trillion Congress will spend in fiscal 2010. Even taking every taxable "dime" of everyone earning more than $75,000 in 2006 would have barely yielded enough to cover that $4 trillion.
Fast forward to this year (and 2010) when the Wall Street meltdown and recession are going to mean far few taxpayers earning more than $500,000. Profits are plunging, businesses are cutting or eliminating dividends, hedge funds are rolling up, and, most of all, capital nationwide is on strike. Raising taxes now will thus yield far less revenue than it would have in 2006.
Mr. Obama is of course counting on an economic recovery. And he's also assuming along with the new liberal economic consensus that taxes don't matter to growth or job creation. The truth, though, is that they do. Small- and medium-sized businesses are the nation's primary employers, and lower individual tax rates have induced thousands of them to shift from filing under the corporate tax system to the individual system, often as limited liability companies or Subchapter S corporations. The Tax Foundation calculates that merely restoring the higher, Clinton-era tax rates on the top two brackets would hit 45% to 55% of small-business income, depending on how inclusively "small business" is defined. These owners will find a way to declare less taxable income.
The bottom line is that Mr. Obama is selling the country on a 2% illusion. Unwinding the U.S. commitment in Iraq and allowing the Bush tax cuts to expire can't possibly pay for his agenda. Taxes on the not-so-rich will need to rise as well.
On that point, by the way, it's unclear why Mr. Obama thinks his climate-change scheme won't hit all Americans with higher taxes. Selling the right to emit greenhouse gases amounts to a steep new tax on most types of energy and, therefore, on all Americans who use energy. There's a reason that Charlie Rangel's Ways and Means panel, which writes tax law, is holding hearings this week on cap-and-trade regulation.
Mr. Obama is very good at portraying his agenda as nothing more than center-left pragmatism. But pragmatists don't ignore the data. And the reality is that the only way to pay for Mr. Obama's ambitions is to reach ever deeper into the pockets of the American middle class.

My London-Surrey 100 miles (+10 extra!)
My London-Surrey 100 miles (+10 extra!)
It was great cycling through the Olympic village. Just as I arrived, the sun rose and struck the top of the Velodrome, giving it an amazing golden glow.
Following the usual registration formalities, I went to my 'wave', which was 'wave R'. The number of cyclists surrounding me was incredible; cyclist upon cyclist all at different levels of ability. It just showed how many people have been inspired and how the bike is becoming more and more popular.
The depart time they gave us was 7:46, but we left an hour later at 8:46, This was the only annoying thing because it gave us time to feel the morning chill, but once our 'wave' was given the all clear and I started spinning the legs, all was soon forgotten.
For the first few miles I tried to warm up my legs by drafting in the main group. My goal was to achieve an average speed of 15-16 mph, so after about five miles, I decided to go for it - it was amazing being surrounded by cyclists on the closed roads of London!
At the 30-mile marker I was flying, averaging speeds of 24 mph and passing loads of people and some very expensive carbon bikes (but carbon bikes don't make you faster!).
Heading through Woking, it was great being on streets I knew well and this only made me increase my speed. Cycling past Send, I stopped briefly to meet my family who gave me a fresh bottle and took some photographs. Then I was off through Ripley on the slow drag up to Newlands corner.
Living in and around the Surrey Hills means that I had done all my training around them many times over before the event.
As I approached the foot of Newlands corner at breakneck speed, I felt my legs burning with the uphill drag.
After I got half way up the hill, I found my climbing legs and managed to power my way over the climb in my own rhythm - a fast screaming descent, my fastest ever due to the lack of traffic."
Going through Abinger Hammer was amazing - so many people cheering and watching us all go past - a great feeling! I took a break at Holmbury St Mary and topped up on water and food, then got straight back on the bike.
When I reached Leith Hill, though, I encountered major problems!
Firstly, the organisers had decided to put a drink station at the top of the climb and people had stopped in the middle of the road causing a concertina effect that slowed a mass of cyclists trying to get to the top.
Half way up I witnessed five people fall because they could not get out of their clips - such was the slow pace going up the steepest part. I was exhausted with trying to track-stand and eventually had to stop as the sweat suddenly poured from my helmet into my eyes and I was forced to pull of the road and rub them clear.
Once I got to the top, I sprinted back down on to the main road again where I returned to time trialling mode and floored it through Dorking and up to the foot of the first hairpin on the Zig Zag at Box Hill.
After I had finished with Box Hill, I had caught the majority of 'wave E' and was now making my way through them.
Riding back into London again was a massive buzz. Going through Kingston was amazing and the turn of speed I was generating was exhilarating!
Approaching the final 10 miles, my legs definitely started to feel it and my speed was dropping - partly due to the last little stinging climb near Wimbledon.
I joined a group on the other side and got in their slip stream until the five mile mark, which gave me a bit of energy to power past the group and onwards. At this point I had caught up with the 'Ds' and was cycling along the River Thames.
Entering Trafalgar Square and the final turn at Admiralty Arch, I jumped onto someone's wheel and as we turned into the Mall I gave it my all and powered to the line. I beat the group containing a yellow jersey wearer, which gave me a big sense of satisfaction.
It wasn't all over after the ride, however. I still had 10 miles more to get to the car before I could relax - and as I didn't stretch out at Green Park, my leg muscles had seized up!
All in all this was the best cycle ride of my life.

Pennsylvania elected delegates on November 6 for the convention which was held from November 20 to December 15, 1787. On December 12 Pennsylvania became the second state to ratify the Constitution, following the first state Delaware by only five days. Pennsylvania was the first large and populous state to ratify the Constitution, and the state's quick action on the constitution motivated the other states to action. The second volume of "The Documentary History of the Ratification of the Constitution" is devoted to the dialogue concerning ratification in Pennsylvania. The volume encompasses well over seven-hundred pages of Pennsylvania legislative records, personal papers and records, newspapers, magazines, Journals of the Pennsylvania Convention, notes taken by delegates and private reporters, and pamphlets and broadsides printed both at government expense and by private printers.

Overcoming Your Midafternoon Energy Slump
You may charge into the day full of energy, but by midafternoon a wave of sleepiness hits you. You find it hard to keep your eyes open, or you find yourself yawning. "Many people experience these late-in-the-day energy lags, but you can take steps to prevent them," says Amanda Ramey, DO, St. Claire HealthCare physician. Here are Dr. Ramey's suggestions for healthy ways to keep your energy flowing throughout the day.
Don't miss breakfast
The best way to keep your energy level at peak performance is to start the day with breakfast. Skipping any meal affects your concentration. This makes it harder to solve problems. And missed meals mean you miss out on nutrients. Often, people who skip meals end up overeating later.
Pick high-energy carbs
For a quick burst of fuel, choose foods high in complex carbohydrates. These are healthy sources of energy that digest the quickest. Go for whole-grain breads and cereals, hummus, fresh fruits, vegetables and vegetable sticks, pasta, and rice. Even spring rolls or burritos can do the trick. To hold hunger longer at bay, choose protein-rich foods that take longer to digest like peanut butter or cheese.
Snack wisely
Instead of looking at snacks as extras, treat them as mini-meals that contribute to the overall nutrition for the day. Snack on fruits and vegetables to boost your intake of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Choose plain nonfat yogurt or café lattes made with skim milk to get protein and calcium. When you snack, keep variety, moderation, and balance in mind.
Choose low-fat
Fat takes a long time to digest and makes the body feel sluggish. Most junk food is high in fat and/or sugar. Instead of buying chips or cookies from a vending machine at work, plan ahead and bring healthy foods for snacks.
Don't overdo on sugar
Eating sugar causes your blood sugar to rise rapidly. This can result in an energy boost. But when sugar is introduced into the bloodstream, your body also produces insulin, which lowers blood sugar levels. Sometimes the body over-adjusts itself, causing the blood sugar level to drop rapidly. This explains the drop in energy some people experience about 30 minutes after eating a sugary snack. Sugar in moderation, particularly from fruit or juice, will give you energy without a lag.
Sleep well
Getting even an hour less of sleep can result in slower mental functioning the next day. Your reactions will be slowed and your memory may suffer. The average person needs — but doesn't get — about 7 hours to 9 hours of sleep a night, according to the National Sleep Foundation.
Fill up on fluids
Your body needs a certain amount of water to function. When you don't have enough water, everything slows down and becomes less efficient. Water is best, but other liquids, like milk, juice, or the water in solid foods, will also work.
Get a caffeine boost
Caffeine is a stimulant, so it will give you a temporary energy boost. As long as you keep your caffeine intake moderate — about the equivalent of about 4 cups of coffee (400 mg of caffeine) a day — caffeine doesn't do any harm to most healthy adults.
Develop an active life
Exercise increases your endurance and makes your cardiovascular system more efficient. This gives you more energy for doing simple daily tasks. Exercise also helps you sleep better, improves your mood, relieves stress, helps with weight control, strengthens bones and muscles, and lowers your risk for a host of diseases. Be sure to check with your healthcare provider before beginning an exercise program.
Break for fitness
A good way to fight off tiredness during that afternoon energy lag is to do some stretches or take a quick walk around the building or parking lot. It will get the blood flowing. It's also forcing your senses to become sharper and more focused.

Rebecca Donohue
Hello all. I'm a comedian and others would say - not me, of course, being humble - that I'm a good one. I've done some American TV, mainly Comedy Central, and performed in 35 out of the 50 states. I blog to a very extensive email list, approximately 5,000 plus subscribers. I talk about comedy, writing, and creation, mostly. I'm looking to redesign my blog header and really the whole look of my site, around said header image. I like simple, clean, attractive stuff - no clipart or microphones flying around. Nothing that is too businessy looking, but yet movement inspiring. I'm a huge fan of http://www.gapingvoid.com, http://www.chrisguillebeau.com/, http://www.ittybiz.com, and http://johnnybtruant.com/. I need my version of that.
Comedy fans, Writers, Artists, Creative types. You can see the current (ugly-baby's-first-computer version) blog here: http://www.coffeeandshowbiz.com. This is where I blog about writing, creating, art, comedy, performing, etc. My stuff is widely read. The idea is to eventually blend both beckydonohue.com and coffeeandshowbiz.com. So, the header should have that feel.
Clean, Simple, yet Magnetic graphic. (I know, I'm sure you're thinking I can go f myself at this point.) But, you guys can do this stuff, I can NOT. And it's good to know what you can NOT do.
Header Musts:
- Incorporate the apple/create/bite-out-of/power symbol graphic that I have attached along with the tagline, "Create Every Day". (The attached jpeg can be used as is or you can create your own using the power symbol as apple with bite out of it, minus the hand.)
- Also incorporate my name: Rebecca Donohue. And the words: Writer, Comedian, Creator.
- Header graphic can be entirely in black and white or in color. I will work the blog around the look of the header graphic.
Please look at the current (ugly, but don't judge her) blog: http://www.coffeeandshowbiz.com. Look at http://www.beckydonohue.com for more on me and where this all needs to eventually lead.
Please look at the below for feel, business model, and clean, simple, header graphics that I like:
Thank you! Thank you very, very much.

Pat's Spicy Peach Hot Wings
- Level: Easy
- Yield: 4 to 6 servings
- Total: 50 min
- Prep: 15 min
- Cook: 35 min
Peanut oil, for frying
Kosher salt
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
3 pounds chicken wings, cut at joint
1/2 stick (2 ounces) butter
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 cup peach preserves
1/4 cup hot sauce (recommended: Tabasco)
1 tablespoon soy sauce
- Preheat deep fryer with peanut oil to 350 degrees F.
- Mix the 2 teaspoons salt, smoked paprika, and garlic powder together in a small bowl.
- Add chicken wings and toss to coat.
- Melt the butter in medium saucepan over medium heat with the garlic.
- Stir in peach preserves, hot sauce, and soy sauce. Cook until syrupy and thick, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl.
- Add the wings to the deep fryer and fry until cooked through and golden and crisp, 12 to 15 minutes. You will need to do this in 2 batches so you don't overcrowd your fryer.
- Remove the wings from the fryer and drain on a paper towel-lined baking tray.
- Add the fried wings to the large bowl of sauce and toss until well combined and wings are well coated. Using a slotted spoon, remove the wings to a platter and serve immediately.
Cook's Note
Let wings sit out at room temperature while you make the sauce to allow them time to absorb the seasonings.

The biggest industry event of the year for car dealers – the NADA Convention & Expo – kicked off this week in San Francisco. Hundreds of exhibitors are showcasing their equipment and technologies while multiple educational workshops take place, teaching auto dealer aficionados everything from the "Catch and Keep" customer strategy to a session on "Trust and Transparency: Data Privacy Management." Automotive dealerships are in one of the most competitive, customer-centric markets in existence, so it's at conventions such as NADA where dealership owners and sales managers get the opportunity to partake in crash-course workshops focused on areas in which their dealership(s) or management may need improvement. If you manage or work in an auto dealership, you understand that your business phone system is one of the tools that can make a significant difference in not only achieving personal success, but also in helping keep customers happy.
In the automobile industry, the main goals include managing inventory, making sales, and gaining revenue. These goals are achieved by two main objectives: accuracy of information and customer service. For most businesses, especially auto dealerships, customer relationships involve a range of interactions that together achieve (hopefully) positive results. The ability to capture leads and close a sale is firmly wrapped up in seamless communication through your dealership's CRM and business phone system.
Digium's Switchvox UC system has been used in auto dealerships for years, not only because of its flexible features that works nice across multiple locations, but because it's also an affordable system. Implementation of Switchvox is simple and can be done with little or no IT staff. Here is a quick look at the features within Switchvox that can help some of the key players within your dealership:
General manager:The auto dealership GM ensures the profitability of the dealership by overseeing the various departments, incluiding sales and financing, the service and parts center, and the business office (accounting and administration). Switchvox provides several benefits to the auto dealer GM, including:
- CRM Integration: Extend API lets you build integrations with customer relationship management software so when you receive calls you get "pop-up" messages with important caller information and notes.
- Mobility: Switchvox provides several options to help you stay productive whether at your desk or on the sales lot; you can work form anywhere, and from the mobile device of your choice.
- Reporting: You can schedule reports to be automatically emailed to you to track marketing campaigns or the productivity and efficiency of any of your dealership's departments.
- Call Queues: These allow you to control the call flow of the dealerships. Queues enable calls to be delivered to the correct department or employee with little or no staff interaction.
- Reduced Cost: Switchvox combines the communications of all your dealership locations into one. This can allow all incoming call traffic to be handled by one receptionist, instead of paying unnecessary salaries to several. Also, due to increased visibility, more locations can be managed with fewer managers.
Sales manager: Vehicle sales managers are responsible for organizing a team of sales people and devising strategies for the team to use to maximize revenue and customer loyalty. If this is your role, Switchvox provides several benefits to let you be more efficient and effective in your role:
- Training Tools: Switchvox provides several easy-to-use, yet powerful training tools, such as listening in on calls, being able to speak to the employee over the phone without the customer being able to hear, and helping troublesome calls by "barging in."
- On-Hold Messages: As a sales manager, you have full control of the messages or music being played to customers while on hold. These recordings can be relaxing music or a promotional message highlighting a new car's features. These messages can easily be changed out or rotated as often as you'd like.
- Call Recording: Managers have the ability to record calls to ensure that employees are handling situations as they were trained to do.
- Reporting Tools: Track incoming, outgoing, completed, and abandoned calls with scheduled or on-the-fly reports. Sales managers also get insight into the value of a dealership's marketing programs (such as Google Adwords) thanks to detailed reports on inbound phone numbers.
- Switchvox Mobile: This softphone app allows the sales team to use their personal devices as if they were their using their office desk phone. The customer only sees the dealership's caller ID information, which keeps the salesperson's personal contact information private, and also allows the brand of the dealership to be persistent in all customer communications.
Receptionist: The receptionist is the director of first impressions and handles everything from greeting customers in person and on the phone, to collecting payments and scheduling appointments. Here are some of the benefits offers this auto dealer team member:
- Call Control Interface: The Switchboard allows the receptionist to have call control interface on their desktop. This web-based call dashboard increases worker efficiency by allowing the receptionist to click-to-dial, drag-and-drop a transfer, and instant message any employee, regardless of location.
- Personalized Call Rules: The receptionist has the flexibility to set which of their phones ring, in what order, and what time of day. They can set up calls to automatically ring to their desk during work hours, to their mobile phones after hours, or to go straight to voicemail when needed.
- Instant Messaging: IM allows a receptionist to quickly communicate with sales or service staff as well as managers, without the need to call.
- Email Integration: Switchvox easily integrates with Microsoft Outlook to allow receptionists to dial customers directly from their contact list or from an email. They can change their presence, see their last calls and voicemails, and much more, all from the Outlook interface.
For an extended list of Switchvox features for every role at your dealership, download your free copy of our guide Switchvox for Auto Dealerships. And to all our friends and customers at NADA this week, we hope you enjoy the show!

Happy Easter, Happy Passover, and Happy Cherry Blossom Time! I hope you are having a joyous spring!
Native to Japan, the Yoshino cherry (Prunus x yedoensis) is cultivated extensively and is also found growing wild on plains and mountains countrywide. For more than ten centuries, and continuing with no less enthusiasm today, cherry blossom time has been cause for joyful celebration that is deeply integrated in the Japanese culture.
When cherry blossoms begin to fall heavily, the flurry of blossoms is called "cherry snowstorm." The following is a traditional Japanese song that has been passed down for generations.
Cherry blossoms, cherry blossoms
As far as you can see.
Across yayoi skies
Is it mist? Is it clouds?
Ah, the fragrance!
Let us go, Let us go and see!
To see a cherry blossom snowstorm:
In the Japanese language the cherry is called "sakura," which is generally believed to be a corruption of the word "sukuya" (blooming). Poets and artists strive to express the loveliness of its flowers in words and artistry. Called the flower of flowers, when the Japanese use the word "hane" (flower) it has come to mean sakura, and no other flower. Since the Heian period "hanami" has referred to cherry blossom viewing; the term was used to describe cherry blossom parties in the Tale of Gengi. Aristocrats wrote poetry and sang songs under the flowering trees for celebratory flower viewing parties. The custom soon spread to the samurai society and by the Edo period, hanami was celebrated by all people.
From ancient times, during early spring planting rituals, falling blossoms symbolized a bounteous crop of rice. Beginning with the Heian period (794–1185), when the imperial courtiers of Kyoto held power, the preference for graceful beauty and the appreciation of cherry blossoms for beauty's sake began to evolve. The way in which cherry petals fall at the height of their beauty, before they have withered and become unsightly, and the transience of their brief period of blooming, assumed symbolism in Buddhism and the samurai warrior code.
The delicacy and transience of the cherry blossom have poignant and poetic appeal, providing themes for songs and poems since the earliest times. The motif of the five petal cherry blossoms is used extensively for decorative arts designs, including kimonos, works in enamel, pottery, and lacquer ware. Cherry tree wood is valued for its tight grain and is a lustrous reddish brown when polished. The wood is used to make furniture, trays, seals, checkerboards, and woodblocks for producing color wood block prints.

Between our Baltimore and Washington, DC, venues, more than 17,500 animals representing 900 species call the National Aquarium home. There are constant changes, additions, and more going on behind the scenes that our guests may not notice during their visit. We want to share these fun updates with our community so we're bringing them to you in our weekly Animal Update posts!
Check our blog every Friday to find out what's going on… here's what's new this week!
Longsnout seahorses
We have added two new Caribbean longsnout seahorses to our National Marine Sanctuaries and National Parks gallery!
Did you know this species of seahorse only reach a maximum size of six inches? Their small size allows them to explore even the slimmest crevices of reefs! This is where they search of food and find coral pieces to anchor on for rest and protection.
As with other seahorse species, when longsnout seahorses mate the female deposits her eggs into a pouch in the male's belly. The male is then responsible for carrying the eggs until they hatch and the male is ready to give birth to the live young!
Both males and females are typically a yellow color, with flecks of brown and black (allowing them to blend into their reef habitats). This camouflage coloration along with their bony body allows the longsnout seahorse to have very few predators.
Unfortunately, these beautiful creatures are still seriously threatened by habitat loss!
Can't get enough of these beautiful creatures? Download this month's customized, free wallpapers of the lined seahorse to your computer, mobile device and/or social platform!
Be sure to check back every Friday to find out what's happening!
