The Best Choice for Assisted Living in Rockford, IL
Though assisted living in Rockford IL facilities differ from place to place, most assisted living facilities offer a large degree of independence. This means that residents often live in either a small apartment with a kitchen or a bedroom with a bathroom, though some assisted living facilities offer shared bedrooms. Rooms or apartments may be furnished or unfurnished. All rooms should come equipped with emergency call systems in the room. Most assisted living facilities also have a dining room and at least one common room for socializing, while some also have features like game rooms, libraries, computer rooms, gyms, and other recreational facilities.
Most assisted living facilities will create a care plan that meets your particular needs, even if those needs should change over time. The basic services that an assisted living facility will provide are: meals, housekeeping assistance, including laundry, transportation assistance, help with bathing, going to the bathroom, dressing, and grooming, help managing medications, 24-hour staff, 24-hour emergency, medical services, facility security. In addition, some facilities may offer: scheduled entertainment and, recreational activities, physical therapy, on-staff medical specialists.
Assisted Living Costs
The costs of assisted living in Rockford, IL as will vary from facility to facility based on the location and amenities of the facility, the size and style of the room, and services provided by the facility. In general, though, costs can range from $1000 to $5000 per month. Though Medicare will not cover the cost of assisted living, some facilities will accept Medicaid. (Medicare is a health insurance program available to U.S. residents over the age of 65 who have paid the standard Medicare tax for no less than 10 years. Nearly all Americans qualify for Medicare.) In addition, some facilities will accept long-term care insurance, HMO and Managed Care plans, and other forms of insurance. For the most part, however, you will likely have to pay the bulk of the cost yourself.
When talking with an assisted living facility, make sure you understand all the costs involved. Some good questions to ask are:
Are all costs included in the monthly rate, or are some costs billed separately? For example, while meals may be included in the monthly rate, is there an additional cost for taking meals in your room instead of eating in the dining room? Are there different costs for different levels of services?
Is the amount you're agreeing to pay per month a fixed rate for the entire time you'll stay at the assisted living in Rockford, IL facility, or will rates increase? If there have been rate increases at the facility in the past, when did those increases occur and by how much? What are the cost implications if over time you begin to need a higher level of care? Are there financial penalties for cancelling your contract with the facility?

Turkey thwarted 18 potential suicide attacks since New Year
ANKARA - Turkish security forces have prevented 18 potential suicide attacks since the New Year, the interior minister said Sunday, with the country on high alert after a deadly suicide car bombing in Ankara earlier this month.
Interior Minister Efkan Ala told Haber 7 TV in an interview that three cars loaded with explosives to be used in attacks had been found by the authorities.
He indicated that one car was seized at Istanbul's Bogazici University last week which caused a major security alert on the campus.
"Since the start of the year, 18 suicide bombings have been prevented... We don't talk (to the public) about most of the prevented attacks," he said, without giving details on the nature of the plots.
Twenty-nine people were killed in the suicide car bombing on a convoy of military buses in the capital on February 17 that was claimed by a Kurdish militant group.
In 2015, there were also four deadly bomb attacks blamed on Islamic State (ISIS) jihadists, including the deadliest in Turkey's modern history that killed 103 people in Ankara in October.
There have also been sporadic attacks by radicals from the outlawed ultra-leftist Revolutionary People's Liberation Party-Front (DHKP-C).
On any possible security lapses that allowed the Ankara attack to take place, Ala said: "It's our duty that even if there is a one percent weakness to bring it to light."
"That's why I immediately started an internal investigation to see if there was a systemic or individual error," he said.

We all know you use your Ram truck for a multitude of functions. Like transporting the family around town or hauling the goods for your business. Your truck is an integral part of your day-to-day life that has to perform a litany of functions and tasks. We know our Ram trucks do come nicely equipped from the factory to perform those jobs, but one size does not fill all. Therefore, it's nice to know there are great accessories available from our friends at Mopar®. They have over 300 factory engineered components designed for our Ram 1500-3500 models. Each accessory goes through a battery of durability tests to make sure they fit right and last a long time. Now you can make your Ram work harder and give it that personal touch that makes it all your own.
For truck enthusiasts who like profile while cruising down Main Street, Mopar® also has you covered. Our new Ram code name 'Adventurer' already looks pretty hot with its monochromatic front grille and fascia and tricked out sculptured rear bumper with chrome dual exhaust outlets. However, it also has a great canvass to express your unique style and attitude. Personally we really dig the new Sport Performance Hood that was inspired from the legendary Dodge Challenger. It features dual openings that can even be made functional. For more on all the cool products that's available for your Ram, check out our photo gallery. You'll see lots of great accessories that will make your Ram stand out from the herd.

3-WHEEL MICROCARS In the 20th and 21st Centuries
the large four-wheel cars at the time, and two-wheeled vehicles, such as motorcycles, were too small and couldn't meet their needs. Many auto companies, including BMW, Bond, and Morgan, decided to take advantage of the situation. These companies produced small, lightweight, and inexpensive three-wheel cars that could be driven in Europe with a motorcycle license. They also provided the public with exactly what they wanted: cheap transportation. Morgan, the most well- known producer of three-wheeled cars, was one of those companies. They started up around 1910 and are still very successful to this day. In fact, their 110-year anniversary is next year. To celebrate, they're releasing a new model — the Morgan 3 Wheeler 110. Similar to its predecessor, which was first produced between 1909 and the 1950s, it promises a classic look equipped with 21st- century technology. The Bond Bug was created around 1970 by Bond Cars. What's interesting about this is that Bond Cars was taken over by Reliant soon after the Bond Bug was commissioned. Even though it was named "Bond Bug," it was sold under Reliant Regal and contained several of their characteristics. In fact, the only part on the three-wheeled microcar that was not Reliant was the coil-spring suspension at its rear. The cars were only released for a few years before the
I've always been fascinated by three-wheel microcars like the Bond Bug, which is my personal favorite. It looks like a wedge of cheese on three wheels. Not all three-wheel cars look like this, though. There are also flashy cars like Morgan's Three Wheeler, BMW's Isetta, and many others with similar styles from around 1950–1970. Lately, there have been many companies working on building new electric three-wheel cars, and some have already been released. The three-wheel microcars have been around for longer than you might think. The first recorded draft of one was drawn up by Leonardo da Vinci back in the 15th century. The sketch that da Vinci drew showed a three-wheeled vehicle that operated through similar mechanics as a clock. The first microcar with three wheels, created in 1886, is argued to be the very first motorized vehicle — the Benz Patent- Motorwagen. These microcars became well-known in the early 20th century and have been around ever since, fluctuating in popularity throughout the years. People prefer these cars because of their economic characteristics; they're smaller, cheaper, and lighter than the four-wheeled version. And cars were in high demand after World War II. People living in countries that suffered the aftermath of the war — Japan, Germany, France, and England — needed transportation. They were too poor to afford
company stopped manufacturing them due to poor sales. Plus, Reliant wanted to make room for its own three-wheeled model, the Reliant Robin. For those reasons, and maybe a few others, only about 2,000 Bond Bugs were made. Today you might not see them around too often, but car companies are bringing back the trend. Companies such as Peugeot and Volkswagen are building and releasing new electric models of the three-wheeled microcar, such as the CityEI. One of the newest versions was released last summer: the electric Nobe 100, designed and built in Estonia. It has a classic 1950s look, complete with the technology we have today. I'm excited to see what will come next for these interesting three-wheeled cars; they only seem to get better and better.

20 May Carbs Are Friends
Often people tell me that "carbs are the devil" and they should be avoided at all costs. That's a myth I'd like to dispel, though. When people discuss carbohydrates they tend to think of pasta, potatoes, bread, and grains— all those things that are at the bottom of the food pyramid. People tend to forget that fruit and vegetables are part of that category.
Another myth is that eating carbs will make you gain weight. But not all carbohydrates are the same. Consider this— some carbs are very rich in vitamins, minerals, and fiber, and those carbs are classified as complex carbohydrates. This is important because our bodies need complex carbs because they provide good nutrition to help us maintain a healthy body.
The opposite of complex carbs are simple carbohydrates which provide a more direct source of energy. They are easy to digest and the human body burns the energy very quickly. Because your body digests them so quickly it takes longer for you to feel satisfied, making it more likely you will eat too many of them. That over-eating is the cause of undesirable weight gain.
Moving towards a diet of complex carbohydrates, by focusing on foods that are high in fiber and low in sugar, is the healthy choice. These complex carbs are available in healthy fruits, whole grains, and vegetables. The fiber slows the rate of your digestion so that energy from these carbs is released over a long period of time. Foods with simple carbs are a poor choice because your body processes all of their energy quickly, leading to a possible energy crash.
Now, let's discuss sugar. One myth is that there is a difference between putting "good sugar" and "bad sugar" into your body—for instance, the idea that eating a sugary piece of fruit is better than eating a cookie because "fruit sugar" is "good sugar."
The problem is that even though a piece of fruit could be healthier than a cookie, the difference is not because one contains natural sugar and the other contains processed sugar added from a bag.
Take for example one of my favorite pieces of fruit: a banana. When you eat a banana you're consuming minerals like potassium and magnesium and vitamin C, B6, and fiber.
But think about the cookie— there are very few nutrients in a cookie. When you eat cookies your body grabs the sugar and rushes it into your system. The large amount of added sugar adds lots of calories that do not appear in fruit. So when you eat fruit, unless you're eating apple pie or peach cobbler, you are avoiding a lot of bonus calories and supplementing your body with vitamins and minerals.
But, you really need carbs. Why? Because carbs are a source of fuel for your body. The presence of adequate amounts of carbs can spare the body from needing to break down muscle tissue.
So carbs are not your enemy. The enemy is an excessive amount of calories. If you're eating more calories than your body will burn during your daily routine then you're going to begin to put on weight. And, simple carbohydrates tend to make you over eat instead of providing long-term satisfaction like complex carbs. So keep the right carbohydrates in your diet, pay attention to what you eat, and eat in moderation. In other words, eat smart.

Stress starts to comprise a big part of in our life day by day. There are certain things that cause stress. At hte same time, it has its effects. This essay will explain the causes and effects of stress.
There are various reasons why people are under a lot of stress. The first reason is working life. Most people have live diffuculty in working life. These difficulties are based on boss, staff, working hours and working place. Why all make our business life stressful. The second reason is conserning financial problems. Today, many people are suffering from economic problems. Every day, people get fired. Each day comes a raise. That is why life gets harder and harder. The third reason is school life. Most students do not want to go to school in our country. Well, why is that? I am sure, it is beacause of the education system. There are a lot systems in education. These systems cause students to hate schools. Students try hard to adopt to changes in exams. Therefore, they exposed to day.
There are several effects of stress. The first effect is depression. Depression affects people badly. To illustrate, because of the pratracted depression, many workers are unemployed. The second effect is gaining weight. Stressed people are likely to put on weight because stressful people eat a lot of meal. The third effect is sleeping problem. People who are stressed are feel tired all the time. Especially, this problem occurs at nights. Sleepless people are stressed during the day. This situation affects activities during the day.
In conclusion, there are certain things which cause stress and things which are caused by stress. In my opinion, people should reduce the stress. Thus, they will be happy.

You really don't want me to go all political on you again this morning. But I thought I'd share a WhatsApp photo that our elder daughter sent through from The Bahamas last night. I think it sums up where we are today. Unbelievable. Just unbelievable.
The good news is that book 4 (working title – For Good Men To Do Nothing) is now with my 5 beta readers. It is, for an author, an exciting and a tense time. Will they like it? Will they love it? Will they hate it (and would they tell me)? Last time, for The Innocence of Trust, one of them implored me not to self-publish because – bless them – the book was too good not to go through a traditional publishing route. Alas, I tried a number of agents and got nowhere.
Interestingly, I've had two nice rejections for Unsuspecting Hero's screenplay – and nothing back from 4 others including ITV.
I am going to go back round the baby with book 4. Today I'll pick a couple of agents and, rather than sell the book, try and sell the whole package. My gut feeling is that nobody is going to be interested in a series – but I'll give it a go.
We're back in Bristol and will be here until next weekend (when we're back at Mary's for a couple of days). Then back down here for Christmas. It seems likely that Jen and James will be moving out after Christmas, giving us time to move in (that means painting and decorating whilst sleeping in Doris!) before we go skiing. We're really looking forward to it now. And, by way of establishing that we are indeed moving in, I have been onto a teaching agency and asked if they've got any supply work for an old maths teacher. The fact that I am not professionally qualified – ie, no letters after my name – is a block for some State schools. So we shall see. But, the idea of going back into the classroom even on supply excites me. However, not as much as becoming a successful author…
…so, keep at it Roland!

SeeTest 12.10 Release Notes
Released 31 October 2019 , Release notes home
The Highlights:
Performance: Speed Index and Grouping
Since version 12.7 we have been continuously improving on what was the first installment of our much anticipated UI Performance Testing offering. In version 12.7 we introduced UI Performance Testing - Manual testing, in version 12.8 we significantly expanded this offering to include automation, transaction video reports and a report repository in Reporter.
Version 12.9 announced the third installment which included HAR files as part of transaction reports and improved UX and filtering capabilities for the transaction report repository. In this version 12.10 we are happy to announce our fourth installment which includes automatic Speed Index score calculation as part of a transaction along with much-improved reporting analytics with Grouping.
Speed Index:
Speed Index score has been added to every performance transaction. The Speed Index is a very important parameter to gauge the UI performance of your app. It provides the average time at which the visible parts of the page are displayed. It is expressed in milliseconds and dependent on size of the view port. Learn more
Version 12.10 includes improved reporting analytics with Grouping. It enables grouping of transactions by application version, date and more. Once the user identifies the desired grouping, he can easily see a summary of meaningful parameters for specified group including new graphs presenting the measurements across versions or time, allowing to create a baseline and quickly identify deviations. This improves reporting analytics and enables much faster identification of deviations and issues. For example, you can compare a specific transaction's duration over time, and identify regressions.

Executive director of Oxford Arts Alliance retires
By J. Chambless
The executive director of the Oxford
Arts Alliance, Judy Petersen, has announced she will be retiring from
the Alliance to focus on her work as an artist. She had announced her
intended resignation to the Arts Alliance board in the fall.
Board president Catharine Dann Roeber said, "The entire board and staff are so thankful for all Judy has done to ensure a growing and thriving Oxford Arts Alliance. We wish her the best as she pursues new and exciting endeavors, and are thrilled she will continue as a vibrant partner of the arts in Oxford."
Petersen will fulfill her duties through the end of 2018.
Petersen was a board member for the Alliance since 2012, and assumed the role of executive director for the last 18 months. "It was my goal to create best practices and a new staff model," she said. "The Alliance is celebrating 10 years, and will continue to serve the community and grow with the Oxford art scene."
The Alliance will be led by Tony Derrico, director of education, while a replacement executive director is found. Derrico is the assistant director for the Alliance.
"Along with the Alliance continuing to be a part of the growing art scene in Oxford, my goal is to bring our Touch of Earth studio to downtown, along with a gallery," Petersen said.
She will continue to be the liaison co-lead for the Connective Arts & Music Festival, specifically Gallery Row and art demonstrators. "2018 was a success, and our 2019 Festival Event Committee is a group of staff and volunteers with energy, creativity and leadership," Petersen said. The event will be held Aug. 3, 2019.
"For my family, Oxford has become our hometown," Petersen said. "This is a town that has uniqueness and people with passion. It is moving forward to become a destination for art, music, dining, entertainment and much more, not only in Southern Chester County, but the tri-state area. I am very honored and excited to be a part of this movement."

Fines for illegal dumping in Los Angeles are about to get steeper, amid efforts by the mayor to crackdown spurred on by complaints about trash-filled streets.
The Los Angeles City Council unanimously approved an ordinance Wednesday that not only raises the fines for the first violation for illegal dumping from $50 to $200, but that now also requires that dumpers pay the city back for the clean-up work.
Mayor Eric Garcetti said during a news conference following the vote that the first violation may even cost someone as much as $450. And it also might be harder to hide from the city's sanitation enforcement officers, he said.
Staffing hours for enforcing city laws have been increased, and additional cameras and lighting were added to beef up surveillance, he said.
He said that the city has 47 additional workers who focus on doing clean-ups, bringing the total number of people on that team to 250 employees.
The number of citations the city has given out has also doubled in recent months. Since the start of the year, the city has issued 560 citations. The city's response to illegal dumping has gotten faster by two days, and items are picked up within a week.
"This is a crime, let us be clear, whether it is committed by those who use our public spaces as a dumpster, businesses that try to skirt the law or those who seek to come in from to other cities to use Los Angeles as a dumping ground," he said.
Garcetti also reported that there have been 650 inspections of businesses since May. Enforcement officials found that 34% of businesses were out of compliance.
The mayor's crackdown effort was launched at the height of complaints from Angelenos about trash left out on the sidewalk and streets, which in recent years have largely been blamed on homeless encampments. But sanitation officials have countered the association with homelessness, saying that 80 percent of the tonnage picked up are for illegal dumping, and for homeless encampments.
During the recession, services were reduced when staffing in the sanitation department was slashed. Garcetti said Wednesday the city has been steadily hiring more workers, while better technology has made the work more efficient.
The hot spots around the city include in downtown Los Angeles, near the produce district in particular. Illegal dumping is also a problem in areas like Wilmington, and in parts of the San Fernando Valley, where construction waste make up the largest portion of what is illegally dumped.

April 02, 2010 | www.CaseyResearch.com More Political Math
Dear Reader,
Back in February, we poked fun at President Obama's math because he implied his 3.83 trillion budget for fiscal 2011 will somehow put the federal government back on the track to fiscal sanity and shrink budget deficits. We noted that the budget calls for nearly a 9% increase in spending over the FY 2009 level, and that the only way not to have another record deficit in FY 2011 would be if tax revenues (which had grown by an average annual rate of less than one percent over the last decade) grow by almost 15%. We then joked that only a politician could get behind the math that plans to shrink budget deficits by increasing the budget deficit. Well, wait until you hear this next bit of political math.
On March 15 in Strongville, Ohio in a final push to win public support for Obamacare, the president uttered the following: How many people are getting insurance through their jobs right now? Raise your hands. All right. Well, a lot of those folks, your employer, it's estimated, would see premiums fall by as much as 3,000 percent, which means they could give you a raiseLet me reiterate. The President of these United States said that his health care plan will cause employer health insurance premiums to fall by 3,000 percent.
Here's a funny little YouTube video
explaining that math. President Bush said some pretty stupid things while he was in office, but this gaffe by Obama beats most "Bushisms†hands down. And I don't know what's worse, the fact that the president said it or the idiots in the crowd cheered.
Census Workers Boost Payrolls
According to the new jobs report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, nonfarm payroll employment increased by 162,000 in March.
It's not quite as good as it sounds. The increase in jobs includes the hiring of 48,000 temporary workers to conduct the Census. And the unemployment rate remained unchanged at 9.7%. Plus, long-term unemployment got worse. Of the 15 million people officially classified as unemployed, a record 6.5 million, or 44.1%, have been out of work longer than six months. Lastly, the U6 alternative gauge of the unemployment rate, which includes discouraged workers and those forced to work part-time, rose to 16.9% from 16.8%.
After the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) recently released its monthly personal income and outlays report, the major media cherry picked the data boasting the headline "Consumer Spending Rises Again in February†or some variant on this theme. What wasn't widely reported was the fall in personal disposal income together with a rise in personal consumption over this same period. The only way to balance that ledger is by taking on debt. Old habits die hard.
To get a better handle on a trend, we need a wide-angle lens. As today's chart shows, personal income in the U.S. fell last year for the first time since 1969, the year the BEA began publishing the data. If a sustainable U.S. economic recovery hinges on an upturn in housing, neither is likely to happen if incomes in America continue falling, especially in the states most challenged by the crash in home prices.

Shale by the Pail: Europe Shakes Its Fist at Russian Hegemony
By Casey Research Energy Division
The latest buzzword on investors' lips is shale and it's everywhere. Shale gas production is rapidly growing and the domino effect of unconventional gas development on the global energy market is staggering. North America has already seen the stampede of companies staking their territories and is now in the next phase: consolidation. However, buying into the American industry giants now, where even a major strike creates only a blip in share price, is like catching a ship that's left the harbor. But at Casey Research, we wouldn't advise you to despair just yet, because the next big opportunity is just over the horizon. Coming up next the basins of Europe.
The new techniques in drilling and well completion have transformed this formerly unprofitable source into a gold mine. Add that to the success that shale gas has enjoyed in North America and you see why shale gas is creating a stir and intrigue throughout Europe. Possibilities for shale gas production in Europe are endless the American Association for Petroleum Geologists estimate a total resource of 510 trillion cubic feet (enough to power 27 European countries for over 30 years) of unconventional gas for Western Europe alone and the rewards for investors in the right place could be huge.
In addition, unlike the United States, where major gas companies started snatching up land and smaller companies as shale gas became more popular, Europe's shale market is still in infancy. This puts the junior and smaller companies on the same playing field as the biggest players. If commercial amounts of gas are found on a junior company's land, it's not inconceivable that its share price will multiply by ten. At the very least.
Taking on the Bear
But the main attraction of shale gas in Europe, and what gives it government support across the board, is the increasing urge to break the stranglehold of the Russian gas giant Gazprom. Almost all of Europe is heavily dependent on the state-controlled Gazprom for the majority of their gas supply. Gazprom's tap-twisting of Ukraine's prices, through which flows almost 80% of Europe's gas, has made it clear that Russia has a big stick and it is not afraid to use it.
With the installation of a pro-Moscow president in Kiev, Europe's interest in a non-Russian source of gas has escalated, and should a U.S.-style shale phenomenon turn up in Europe, the energy landscape could drastically change.
Knowing Your Enemy: The Other Side of the Story
That is not to say that there aren't any challenges facing the companies. The lack of equipment in Europe 20 fracturing sets vs. 2000 in North America is a major obstacle and at millions of dollars each, companies aren't exactly falling over fracturing sets. Then there is the chance that the rush for land will lead to over-staking of territories, with more than one company claiming a piece of land. This will invariably lead to quarrels, even legal battles, which would delay exploration and create a mess for companies and shareholders alike. And after all this, no two shale basins are the same and techniques that work on one may not translate to the other. So companies looking for shale gas in Europe in largely unexplored regions face significant risks the initial production rate, its sustainability and costs of the well are all unknowns…and that's precisely what makes it so exciting.
What Would You Do With A 670% Return? Shale gas is the hot topic in Europe today and we knew this would happen back in 2007. Our subscribers bought one .25 cent stock, then sold it at $1.80, netting a quick gain of almost 700%.
With the huge potential just waiting to be explored, investors need to have their ears on the ground to know about the "me too†companies, the ones that will hit the payload. For now, the watchwords are "oil shale in new markets.â€[Ed. Note: Casey's Energy Report has its finger on the pulse of the world's most exciting energy plays… and its readers are the first to know which companies have the equipment, the management, the property and the expertise needed to make the big returns in oil shale.
At Casey Research, we know the sector better than others and we know who is strong and who is weak. Don't miss out on the incredible opportunities that await investors in oil shale subscribe to the Casey's Energy Report today with a generous three-month no risk, money back guarantee. Details here.]
Energy Independence: A False Goal
By Vedran Vuk
Energy independence is the new American sacred cow. For many, it's already up there with supporting the troops, the virtue of high school teachers, and the holiness of fire fighters. Hardly anyone disagrees with the new national goal. The only disagreements now are between drilling for oil and producing other alternatives.
Well reader, since no one else will do it, I must attack this concept. First, there is the myth that energy independence will make us safer and lead to peace without our reliance on the Middle East. A quick look back into U.S. history dispels this myth instantly. Natural resources have little to do with our foreign escapades just look at Vietnam and Korea. There's absolutely no reason to believe that our aggressive foreign policy will change with energy independence.
In fact, things would likely get worse. Imagine how the post September 11th world would have turned out with nothing holding the U.S. back in the Middle East. The younger members of Casey Research such as me, Chris Wood, and Jake Weber, wouldn't be analyzing stocks right now. Instead, we'd be analyzing roadside bombs and kicking down doors in Saudi Arabia as part of WWIII. If anything, energy dependence kept the worst war hawks at bay.
The world is a safer place because countries have grown more interdependent. A militaristic supergiant with a violent history and without dependence on others is a frightening prospect. Look at the difference between China and North Korea. Which country is a bigger threat? China has absolutely no reason to attack us because of our interdependence. On the other hand, North Korea is much more threatening not because they're developing nuclear weapons, but because they're not dependent on us. This makes them a loose cannon.
War and security are only the peripheral problems. The real problem with energy independence is the economics behind it. The idea necessarily implies price controls or nationalization of energy companies somewhere down the road unless the entire economy is transformed by wind mills and solar panels.
For an example, let's say that the U.S. becomes 100 percent energy independent. We don't get a single drop of oil from the Middle East. Suppose OPEC goes crazy and pulls back the oil supply more than ever. A barrel of oil skyrockets from $80 to $300 on the world market.
So, we're safe, right? Not exactly. The idea of energy independence assumes that our oil companies will continue to sell domestically for $80 a barrel while the rest of the world sells at $300. Domestic oil companies would have to be insane to do this. By refusing the market price, they would forego $220 in extra profit per barrel.
The only way to maintain the $80 price would be either through nationalization of the oil companies or export restrictions with price controls. Naturally, price controls always create shortages exactly what energy independence tries to avoid. Nationalization would be even worse. The government might as well tax the oil companies for the $220 profit and redistribute it to the public in the form of gas vouchers. The result would be crushing one industry for lower gas prices nationwide. Rather than energy independence being a new concept, this sounds like the same old tax and redistribute.
The obsession with energy independence can be a dangerous vice. Just look to WWII Nazi Germany. Instead of continuing to trade with Russia for oil, the Germans were obsessed with controlling Russian oil fields. The opening of Operation Barbarossa against Russia easily marked the biggest mistake of the German command. In a sense, World War II was won thanks to German economic ignorance on energy independence. If they had continued to buy oil from Russia and had fought on only one front as a result, history could have turned out much differently.
Energy independence is just a back-door entrance for redistribution and price controls. Without government intervention, oil companies could not be stopped from selling at world prices. It's just supply and demand as always. The location of the oil does not change the world market price.
Friday Funnies
Heaven or Hell?
While walking down the street one day, a "Member of Parliament†(or Congress) is tragically hit by a truck and dies.
His soul arrives in heaven and is met by St. Peter at the entrance.
"Welcome to heaven,†says St. Peter. "Before you settle in, it seems there is a problem. We seldom see a high official around these parts, you see, so we're not sure what to do with you.â€
"No problem, just let me in,†says the man.
"Well, I'd like to, but I have orders from higher up. What we'll do is have you spend one day in hell and one in heaven. Then you can choose where to spend eternity.â€
"Really, I've made up my mind. I want to be in heaven,†says the MP.
"I'm sorry, but we have our rules.â€
And with that, St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell. The doors open and he finds himself in the middle of a green golf course. In the distance is a clubhouse and standing in front of it are all his friends and other politicians who had worked with him.
Everyone is very happy and in evening dress. They run to greet him, shake his hand, and reminisce about the good times they had while getting rich at the expense of the people.
They play a friendly game of golf and then dine on lobster, caviar and champagne.
Also present is the devil, who really is a very friendly & nice guy who has a good time dancing and telling jokes. They are having such a good time that before he realizes it, it is time to go.
Everyone gives him a hearty farewell and waves while the elevator rises…
The elevator goes up, up, up and the door reopens on heaven where St. Peter is waiting for him.
"Now it's time to visit heaven.â€
So, 24 hours pass with the MP joining a group of contented souls moving from cloud to cloud, playing the harp and singing. They have a good time and, before he realizes it, the 24 hours have gone by and St. Peter returns.
"Well, then, you've spent a day in hell and another in heaven. Now choose your eternity.â€
The MP reflects for a minute, then he answers: "Well, I would never have said it before, I mean heaven has been delightful, but I think I would be better off in hell.â€
So St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell.
Now the doors of the elevator open and he's in the middle of a barren land covered with waste and garbage.
He sees all his friends, dressed in rags, picking up the trash and putting it in black bags as more trash falls from above.
The devil comes over to him and puts his arm around his shoulder. "I don't understand,†stammers the MP. "Yesterday I was here and there was a golf course and clubhouse, and we ate lobster and caviar, drank champagne, and danced and had a great time. Now there's just a wasteland full of garbage and my friends look miserable. What happened?â€
The devil looks at him, smiles and says, "Yesterday we were campaigning… Today you voted.â€
Congressional Tipping Point
This video is just down right shocking. I thought it was one of the funniest things ever until I read that the guy is ill. But sick or not, this guy certainly shouldn't be allowed to hold a position in Congress if he's that far detached from reality.

A university is a stage for the clash of ideas through reasoned discourse between those of diverse points of view. Princetonians are diverse in many ways. We differ academically, politically and culturally. Diversity of thought inevitably yields disagreement. But despite our differences and deep personal investment in various debates, we pride ourselves on the ability to engage with one another and develop ideas and values through healthy participation in the University's intellectual community. We therefore commend the University faculty and President Eisgruber's administration for passing a motion to include a more comprehensive statement protecting freedom of expression in the University "Rights, Rules, Responsibilities," and we strongly encourage our peer institutions to follow suit.
The new statement "guarantee[s] all members of the University community the broadest possible latitude to speak, write, listen, challenge, and learn." The recently passed motion admirably incorporates unequivocal language from a recent report from the University of Chicago. We suggest the University go one step further and wholly replace the existing free speech code in the guidebook with the new statement.
The current code bears a "red light" designation from the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, due to policies that "both clearly and substantially restrict freedom of speech." The present language allows for University sanctions against an individual whose verbal behavior "demeans" or "intimidates" another. Though respect for others' viewpoints is absolutely necessary for constructive campus dialogue, such language is too vague. The new statement still prohibits the most harmful forms of speech that violate the law and threaten others; however, it cuts down on the potentially abusable discretion that the University currently possesses.
As recent examples at other colleges demonstrate, attention to freedom of expression is as necessary now as ever. Last year, Stanford University's Graduate Student Council first denied funding for an Anscombe Society conference on traditional sexual values and then levied an unprecedented $5,600 "security fee" in an egregious attempt to obstruct freedom academic expression (though the fee was waived after protests). Just last month, a California State Polytechnic University student was apprehended by university police after handing out flyers for animal rights outside of a designated "free speech zone."
Controversial debates, whether about police brutality, same-sex marriage or other topics, enliven our campus. It is unreasonable and intellectually dishonest to presuppose a consensus on these issues or to expect that no one's sensitivities will be offended in the course of discussion. Reasonable, good-willed people can and often do disagree. Rather than illiberally empowering University authorities to define which subjects are open for discussion, thinkers of absolutely any opinion should be given the latitude required to make reasoned arguments with due civility.
In protecting the unhindered operation of the marketplace of ideas, the University need not fear that it will cater to hateful or outrageous speech. Such expression will quickly be rebuffed by clear and respectful argumentation from those who see it for what it is and the adopted language gives the University the ability impose time, space, and manner restrictions when appropriate. Flagrantly unlawful speech is controlled under narrow exceptions to the policy that cover threats, defamation, and breaches of privacy. At the same time, Princeton students must accept that not all campus discourse will be comfortable to hear. Broad protection of academic freedom does not favor any one viewpoint in favor of promoting ever more rigorous explorations of truth and meaning. The University only stands to gain by shoring up its defense of free speech, which will help foster the intellectual growth of all Princetonians and present a strong example to other institutions.
In a November 2013 editorial, we called on our community to "recommit itself to upholding the principles of free speech in accordance with the University's broader educational mission." We believe that the faculty's recent vote to affirm the "University's fundamental commitment ... to the principle that debate or deliberation may not be suppressed" is an excellent step in this direction, and we applaud this important decision.

THIBODAUX � Over the course of the 2008 high school football season, Thibodaux High junior quarterback Trovon Reed has garnered a lot of attention.
And that attention isn�t just coming from opposing defenses.
Reed, a quarterback who has also played wide receiver, running back and defensive back this season, said he already has offers from Oregon, Ole Miss, Arkansas and Georgia.
But with the No. 5 Tigers traveling to No. 4 Barbe for Friday�s Class 5A state quarterfinal game, those offers are the least of Reed�s concerns.
�I just put that aside until the end of the season,� he said.
�When everything�s over, then I�ll deal with that. Right now, I�m worried about my team.�
Thibodaux coach Dennis Lorio added, �He�s getting mail and recruiting offers from all over the country � most of the big names. Basically, he just lets it sit there and stack up. About once a month, I tell him to get a shoebox, put them in there and look at it later. He�s just not really that interested in it right now. He wants to do all he can to help this team, and this is a special opportunity that we have. That�s where his and most of the players� focus are.�
After Reed�s performance in the second half of last week�s 25-22 win over No. 12 St. Paul�s, it�s obvious where his focus is.
With Thibodaux trailing 22-0 at halftime, Reed accounted for 256 total yards (140 receiving, 116 rushing) and three touchdowns in the second half.
He had touchdown runs of 55 and 47 yards, and he also intercepted a St. Paul�s pass deep in Thibodaux territory.
Reed, who also plays basketball at Thibodaux, said he could only think about keeping his team�s football season alive.
�At halftime, coach said for everybody just to go back out,� Reed said.
�I sat (in the locker room) on the sofa, and I was just thinking to myself, �I�m not ready to go back to basketball.� I feel like this team�s got potential.�
Lorio, who is in his first year at Thibodaux since 1991, said Reed�s talent was evident since Day 1.
�When I first got the job and put the film on, I said, �My goodness, he is some kind of talent,�� Lorio said.
�And the beautiful thing, he�s a wonderful young man. He�s humble. He�s got some God-given skills. ... And he�s put this team on his back and carried us in the second half the other day.�
Reed�s humbleness is obvious.
When asked about his individual performances � including a Week 9 game that had him throwing four touchdowns and rushing for three touchdowns � Reed quickly deflects praise to his teammates.
�I feel like I�m doing a good job,� he said, �but I wouldn�t be doing a good job without my teammates.�
Lorio said Reed�s 47-yard touchdown run against St. Paul�s was a perfect example of the relationship between Reed�s talents and the parts of the game that casual observers might not notice.
On the play, Reed dropped back to pass, slipped a tackle, then ran through the defense and across the field for the score.
�I want everybody, if they have time, to look at that play on film,� Lorio said.
�The guy for (St. Paul�s), No. 35, had made several tackles. On that play, Trovon got away from a college prospect defensive end, basically hula-hooped him off, and ran around the left end.�
From there, Reed pump-faked, then took advantage of some key blocks.
�That little pump fake, No. 35 bought it and back pedaled about three steps. At the same time, Ethan Lagarde had a knockout block on one of their guys who was pursuing. And our left guard, sophomore Jordan Harris, and our right tackle, Matt Pellegrin, both had good blocks. There were three blocks, a ball fake and (Trovon�s) ability. It�s an incredible play by a super young man.�
The Tigers aren�t dwelling on last week�s win, though.
Now, it�s all of the focus on Friday�s game against Barbe.
�We feel like it�s a regular game,� Reed said. �Last week, we came out slow in the first half, and St. Paul�s hopped on top of us, 22-0. We feel like we can�t let that happen, this week, because Barbe is a good team. They�re 10-0. We�re 10-0. Somebody is going to leave crying.�

Lodge Road
ClientCentral and Cecil
Project TypeResidential
This project is located in St John's Wood, adjacent to Regents Park and Lord's Cricket Ground.
The client, a charitable provider of homes and care for the elderly, sought to replace outdated and institutional bed sit accommodation with an apartment based scheme which would be pioneering in the ways in which it responded to the issues of an ageing population.
Clusters of apartments can be readily converted to support dementia, allowing residents to remain in familiar surroundings as their needs change.
The existing residents on the site formed a co-design team which were closely involved in the development of the design.
Shared facilities include café, flexible activity space and roof gardens.

In the street, facing the unknown, people will decide to stop and "participate" according to the "cost of entry". It represents difficulties encountered by passers-by, his/her efforts to enter into the event, the risks that he/she might be bored or feel ridiculous, compared to the benefits that he/she can expect: having fun, satisfy curiosity.
The lowest cost – and so the best accessibility- is definitely what make spectacle. First because the function is to distract and amuse people and because it leaves the pedestrian the choice to stay or not, to be involved or not.
The participants from OfficineCittadine and Sensibiliz'Action based on the street interaction methodology of GEAgora, developed two different play, one during the seminar and the other one during the youth exchange of the project "Street Views: Youth for Diversity".
For the first play, the participants decided to illustrate the situation of the migrant workers in the field of tomatoes. Indeed, Diritti a Sud is mainly working to promote workers' rights in agriculture and produce in an ethical way the tomato sauce "SfruttaZero" (zero exploitation). Participants imagined an artistic way to represent the exploitation faced by these migrant workers. At the end of the show, the actors presented the two possible recipes of a low cost sauce and SfruttaZero sauce and invite the public to choose between these two ways of production.
During the Youth Exchange, the participants decided to adapt the famous story of Romeo and Juliet: "Because everyone knows it, because it took place in Italy and because it showcases our topics (differences and interculturality)".
They adapted the play to tackle the burning issues of diversity and racism. "We changed the plot of the actual story in order to highlight the diversity of the two lovers which indicated that we had to change the characters background stories Indeed, in the new version, Romeo is black, Juliet is white, he is Muslim, she is Christian, he is a worker, and her family is landowners… All these differences are creating troubles and conflicts between the two families.
They decided to use some board and write on it some sentences in English and Italian to explain the reasons why Romeo and Juliet would not be together. All performers were wearing black on black clothes and only one costume element, a white collar, was represented the style of Shakespearian theatre.
They also used some board to physically delimitate and illustrate the gap between the two lovers that the differences were creating. Finally, they finished the play raising the question: Should they be enemy? And invite the public to give their voices.
"The first static image of the action was Romeo and Juliet stand close to each other and holding hands. Exactly behind them, there were 5 boards as steps that linked them to their fathers.
After the announcement the fathers calls the first reason why Romeo must step back from his Juliet and at the same time he hold the written banner. The narrator takes the banner and keep show it to the people. Then the narrator gives the turn to Juliet's father and he calls the reason why Juliet must step back from her Romeo. At the end when both fathers hold the banner: "We are enemies", Romeo and Juliet had already been divided. Then the narrator comes in with the final question; "Should they be enemies?" The narrator shows the banner to the audience and then approaches them asking what they think about it.

Using a scale to make your sauerkraut will ensure that you add the correct amount of salt for a safe fermentation environment.
You don't want to include the weight of your bowl in your measurements, so either zero out the scale (usually done with a button on a digital scale or a knob under the tray on a mechanical scale) or write down the weight of your bowl (tare).
You will need 1¾ pounds (28 ounces, 800 grams) of vegetables and cabbage in your bowl.
When making sauerkraut, you first prepare the flavoring ingredients – carrots, ginger, radish, caraway seeds or whatnot – then add sliced cabbage. This allows you to add only as much sliced cabbage as necessary to hit 1¾ pounds on the scale.
Peel and grate beets, mince garlic and place in your bowl along with the caraway seeds.
Discard the limp outer leaves of the cabbage, setting aside one of the cleaner ones for use during the SUBMERGE step.
Quarter, then slice cabbage crosswise into thin ribbons. I leave the core in because I find it helps to hold the layers of cabbage together making the slicing job easier.
Add sliced cabbage to your bowl until the weight of your vegetables and cabbage is 1¾ pounds (28 ounces, 800 grams).
Salt pulls water out of the cabbage and vegetables to create an environment where the good bacteria (mainly lactobacillus) can grow and proliferate and the bad bacteria die off.
Sprinkle vegetables and cabbage with 1 tablespoon of salt and mix well.
If you want the salt to do some of the work for you, you can leave your salted and well-mixed bowl of cabbage sit for 20-60 minutes.
Then, massage the vegetables with strong hands until moist, creating the brine. You should be able to tilt the bowl to the side and see a good-sized puddle of brine, about 2–3 inches in diameter - see the picture below. This process can take anywhere from 2 to 5 minutes.
Now that you have a puddle of brine, it's time to pack the cabbage mixture into your jar.
Grab handfuls of the salty, juicy cabbage mixture and pack them into your quart-sized (liter) wide-mouth canning jar, periodically pressing the mixture down tightly with your fist or a large spoon so that the brine rises above the top of the mixture and no air pockets remain.
Be sure to leave at least 1 inch of space between the top of the cabbage and the top of the jar. Because we weighed out just the right amount of cabbage to fit in your jar, this should happen automatically.
Pour any brine left in your mixing bowl into the jar and scrape out any loose bits stuck to the sides of the bowl or to the side of your jar.
Lastly, wipe down the outside of your jar and posh down any loose bits stuck to the sides of the bowl or the side of your jar.
Now make sure your fermenting mixture is in a safe anaerobic (no air) environment. This means that you need to keep the cabbage mixture submerged in the brine while it ferments.
Floaties Trap. Take that cabbage leaf you saved during the SETUP step, tear it down to just fit in the jar, and place it over the surface of the packed cabbage.
Forgot to save a cabbage leaf? No problem. You can fold a narrow piece of parchment paper to size or even cut an old plastic lid to size.
Place the 4-ounce jelly jar - or whatever you are using as a weight - on top of the cabbage leaf, right side up with its lid removed.
Lightly (to allow for escape of CO2 gases), screw on the white plastic storage lid. I like to label my jars using green or blue painter's tape and a permanent marker. I note the flavor of sauerkraut I made and the date I started fermenting.
I like to label my jars using green or blue painter's tape and a permanent marker. I note the flavor of sauerkraut I made and the date I started fermenting.
In these pictures, I'm using a Pickle Pusher to hold the ferment below the brine and Trellis & Co. stainless steel airlock lid..
Time now for the friendly bacteria to do their work while you watch and wait. Can you wait 7 days to taste the tangy crunch?
Place your jar of fermenting sauerkraut in a shallow bowl (to catch the brine that may leak out during the first week of fermentation), out of direct sunlight. Wait for 1 week before opening to sample.
The jar on the left is Day 1; right, Day 5.
For what to expect as your sauerkraut ferments, see SALTY Cabbage to SOUR Sauerkraut: Fermentation Signs to Monitor
Should the brine level fall (very unlikely) and remain below the level of the sauerkraut during this first week,
dilute 1 Tbsp of salt in 2 cups of water
and pour some of this brine over the sauerkraut (removing the little jar first) until it just covers the mixture. Put the little jar back in, screw the lid on lightly and let the fermentation continue.
Don't worry if the brine disappears after the 7- to 10-day mark. By this time, you've created a safe environment in which the bacteria that would cause mold or slime has been chased away by the beneficial bacteria produced during the fermentation process.
You can ferment your sauerkraut for up to 4 weeks. The longer you ferment it, the greater the number and variety of beneficial bacteria that can be produced.
After fermenting your sauerkraut, it's ready to go into the refrigerator and ready to be eaten.
Rinse off the outside of the jar. You can take the little jar out. Clean the rim if necessary (sometimes it can get sticky from the brine that overflows), and screw the lid back on tightly.
Add to your label how long you fermented the contents.
Enjoy a forkful or two of your sauerkraut with your meals. It will continue to ferment – aging like a fine wine – but at a much slower rate that before.
If the flavors are too intense, leave it the jar for a month or two and then eat it. You will be amazed at how the flavors have changed.
If successfully fermented (tastes and smells good), your sauerkraut can be kept preserved in your refrigerator for up to a year.
