GB Park & Pipe x Hertz
Our sprawling, four-year campaign for GB Park & Pipe in the run up to the 2018 Olympics included a creative twist on the modern influencer campaign, in the form of this collaboration we brokered between the team and hire car stalwarts Hertz.
How to get the best value for Hertz and GB by marrying their very different strategic and communication objectives? By thinking laterally, and creating a campaign based around native content that harnessed the team's incredible ability and huge, authoritative collective reach.
To that end, we sympathetically included Hertz in a key episode of our #ProjectPY2018 series, then used the team and each brand's formidable social presence to ensure the biggest possible audience.
The result was a campaign with tangible, measurable ROI for Hertz, a deal that increased income and exposure for the team, and another piece of high value, highly shareable content.

Does Penn West Have the Energy to Grow?
This stock ought to whet my appetite -- and maybe yours, too.
With more than 5,400 stocks to choose from, the universe of investment possibilities is enormous. You could get tips over the company water cooler or from Internet discussion boards. A better way might be to look for stocks based on what you already know and own.
Motley Fool CAPS helps you focus your energies by providing you with a personalized "Stock of the Day." Using its supercomputer, it looks at stocks currently in your active pick list, stocks picked by highly rated players with lists similar to yours, industries in which you currently have active picks, and targets areas in which you already have an interest.
By pairing up the opinions of some of the top investors in the CAPS community, CAPS provides you with a handful of companies on which to begin your own due diligence and research.
Buy what you know
No doubt based on my interest in the oil, gas, and consumable fuels sector where I've rated companies like HollyFrontier and Kodiak to outperform the broad indexes -- and rated the likes of Walter Industries and Enerplus to underperform -- the CAPS supercomputer thought I also might be interested in another energy play, this time Canadian oil and gas producer Penn West Petroleum
Considering that natural gas prices remain at historically depressed levels and will likely stay there for some time to come, let's see what Penn West has going for it that might warrant an investment, even if the supercomputer hasn't yet picked it for you. Just remember, as smart as the CAPS algorithm may be, it's still just an algorithm, so be sure to look before you leap on any of its suggestions.

A fluid situation
Like much of the rest of the natural gas industry, Penn West has been focusing more on the liquids market than in dry gas. While production in the latter was up 2% in the last quarter, light crude and liquids were 8% higher though average sales prices were down across the board. But when Penn West is realizing natural gas prices 50% below what it got a year ago, there's little reason to wonder why the focus is on the one and not the other. The driller's second-half capex program will focus almost exclusively on the liquids market, though the total spent will be 10% lower.
Like many of its peers, Penn West is hunkering down because of the lower realized prices. It will engage in asset sales to reduce its indebtedness, and plans on shedding as much as $1.5 billion worth of assets. Both Talisman Energy
How dry I am
Chesapeake Energy
That could be awhile. Some analysts believe we'll have sub-$4 natural gas prices for the next 30 years and that it will stay below $8 for the next 80 years! Yet weak economic conditions will likely depress the liquids market too, albeit not to the same extent as natural gas.
There is some industry consolidation under way with Nexen being acquired by CNOOC, Talisman jettisoning its CEO and setting itself up as a possible takeover target, and Linn Energy
With 96% of the nearly 1,400 CAPS members rating Penn West to outperform the market indexes it doesn't seem as though the investor community is concerned it won't recover. But, tell me in the comments box below if you agree the turn toward a smaller footprint is a better outcome for the driller.
No buzz kill here
Penn West does have potential, but why not invest in the one company in the energy sector that can hold fast no matter what oil or gas goes for? Find out why this company is the only energy stock you'll ever need in the Motley Fool's popular free report. Click here for the inside scoop while it lasts.

20 American Family Life Insurance Consumer Reviews
A link has directed you to this review. Its location on this page may change next time you visit.
I love this insurance company. They have been the cheapest out there for about 4 years for me now. I really appreciate the customer service as well. The staff is so awesome. They have super competitive rates right now!
They have a contract with Dept.of Homeland Security. I have a lawsuit against the gov't, and since its origin I have been severely harassed. The gov't will mark a person who stands up for their rights when a case has potential for reaching implications that could inconvenience the status quo, even though the person did nothing wrong. The gov't agency will contract with companies who will stalk/harass/block the individual in organized methods. American Family Insurance is one of these companies. They have changed price every month, canceled my insurance for no reason, swore they started it again and did not. Horrible experience.
I had purchased long term care insurance for my sibling, I was paying the premium yearly and one day realized it had been a long time since I had received a bill. I went through my check book and immediately called to ask why I was not longer being billed for this policy. They responded non-payment of premiums. We were never contacted by phone and I have a cancer policy as well that is paid through payroll deductions. I contacted the post office and they said it was likely that the mail carrier returned it because my sibling does not have the same last name. I wrote a check for $1,000 to cover the back premiums. They have not cashed it, or returned it. We completed a form for payroll deductions, which they claim they didn't receive. I called several agents, no one returns my calls or emails. I was finally told they no longer sell long term care and they will not reinstate this policy.
Decided to take this to lower my car insurance. Was well worth it. Haven't been on site too much since I signed up. My agent handled everything for me. Was all very easy.
If you cancel a policy expect it to take a month for a refund. I originally purchased my renters insurance through Homesite because I thought Esurance would give me a discount on my car insurance as they are "partner" agencies... No such luck. When my car insurance skyrocketed over $100 a month more (I have a spotless record and it was PLPD), my boyfriend and I decided to combine our insurance and include renters with the car insurance. I called at 6:30 pm EST and was put on hold. I put earbuds in and began to do some gardening/yard work. I finally hung up 2 HOURS LATER after setting up a web account and cancelling there.
Forward to 10 days later and I still haven't received a refund for the money taken THE DAY AFTER I tried to cancel via phone (side note, the website would not allow me to cancel the day I called, or even the following day, it forced me to choose 2 days later). I called a few minutes ago to find out about the refund and was told 15-20 business days for the money to be credited back to my account. That ends up being around a month. I don't understand why this would be. No calculations need to be done, this isn't a small local company, and they have all of the information about my debit card and current address. Don't bother using this company for ANYTHING, they are cheats and suck.

Been paying $50 a month for 30 years on a Universal life policy for my husband and now that he is 65, come to find out it will expire with NO coverage in 4-6 years!! Amfam blames it on the economy and says that this is what we signed up for, that this could potentially happen. REALLY?? I remember being told we had $50,000 worth of life insurance on a secure policy, NOT TERM LIFE INSURANCE, with a high payment to boot!! I don't understand how this can be legal and nobody got a heads up on this. How many unsuspecting people are going through the same thing we are and try to think of buying life insurance when you're 65!! Thanks American Family.
Been calling about my claim. It's been a week now after I was told that they will email me about getting in touch with them to send some estimates. Up to now there is no callback or email. Very poor customer service... the worst. I work for customer service and we always make it right the first time... that's how you take care of customers.
I have all my cars and home policies with American Family Insurance and it made it much easier to get my life insurance policy with them as they've been my insurance company since 2004. I have had the opportunity to get other insurance quotes. And this far, no other insurance companies has been able to save me money, and the staff has been so helpful and always a kind staff, and always check on me and go over my life insurance policy to see if I need more or less coverage. I'm very satisfied with them. Thank you American Family Insurance.
They offer good bundle packages when including all three of our cars, home and life insurance. We know our agent on a personal basis. The office is located close to our home. They send email reminders about premium's due dates.
I have a good representative for my insurance. He is personable and knowledgeable. I enjoy my service. He is easy to contact and quickly gets in touch with me on issues that might affect me.
My agent is wonderful at keeping me updated on what is best for me and my family. I have been with American Family for many years and I recommend my agency to others because of the personalized service I receive.
Even though we have been fortunate enough to have not needed our agent was very helpful. He explained different policies and rates for each. He gave us suggestions but let us make the decision ourselves.
I have a $5000 life insurance policy with American Family, which I took out in 2006. The agent for American Family explained the policy to me and the price was very reasonable. The company has been very easy to deal with!
Company is very customer conscientious and willing to explain in simple terms your options and benefits as far as your choice in insurance. Always outgoing and willing to help and answer customer questions and address customer concerns. Also, provides a face to connect the customer with the company.
Quick and easy application process done in person at my agent's office. Representative came to my job for the physical. Premium is deducted out of my account automatically each month. I receive an annual statement in the mail.
I carry life insurance through work and MetLife is the provider. It was reasonable for the rate however the only issue is I leave work I get nothing for what I paid into it.
American Family is a great company. I have never had any problems with them. I have my life, home and car insurance through them. They are really nice and helpful. They are quick to answer questions to get you the answer you need when it comes to insurance.
Been with them over 20 years. Rate increases are reasonable and we've had the same agent. He sends Christmas and birthday cards and calls on a regular basis just to see if we need anything. The office staff is personable and always knows how to answer my questions. We've never had to make a claim, so that could alter my opinion, if that ever happens.
They have had consistent prices, are transparent about the policy and I'm satisfied with the amount of coverage. I also was satisfied with the notarization process for my beneficiaries. My agent (who I've been with for 20 years) explained the process, as well as the policy, very thoroughly and answered all the questions to my satisfaction.
Not a lot of contact with them. My premium is the same every month and is paid automatically. If I was younger I would have a policy that is worth somewhat more. Not going to make any changes at this stage of my life.

HRM technology description
HRM analysis is based on the dissociation behavior of dsDNA due to increasing temperature. Melting of dsDNA depends on its GC content and overall distribution of bases. AT-rich regions melt faster (see figure
Principle of HRM technology
In HRM analysis, a PCR product is generated through amplification and is then subjected to a gradual temperature increase. This is done in the presence of a dye that fluoresces when bound to double-stranded DNA. This method clearly differs from standard melt curve analysis (see figure
Differences between classical melt curve analysis and HRM analysis
). Novel HRM technology is enabled by the recent availability of improved double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) binding dyes along with dedicated HRM instrumentation and analysis software.
Typical HRM experiment
To perform HRM, the temperature is increased from low to high. The fluorescence of third-generation intercalating dyes (e.g., EvaGreen) is measured continuously and is plotted against increasing temperature. Increased fluorescence is only measured as long as the dye is bound to dsDNA. At lower temperatures, fluorescence is high since all DNA is double-stranded. As the temperature increases, the DNA will start to disassociate into two single strands, resulting in DNA melting. At this point, the dye is released and the fluorescence will decrease. The melting temperature (
) of the DNA sample under analysis occurs at the point of the melt phase where the rate of change in fluorescence is greatest. When the DNA is completely melted, only some background fluorescence will be detected (see figure
A typical HRM plot
DNA strands of a PCR product are bound together by hydrogen bonds and additional interactions such as base stacking forces. The strength of these interactions depends on parameters such as the length of the amplicon, the overall base composition, and the local GC content within the PCR amplicon. All of these parameters will affect the melting behavior of a defined PCR product. Each PCR product will deliver a characteristic melting profile (see figure
Principle of HRM technology
HRM even enables the detection of very subtle differences between two DNA sequences. It thereby allows the accurate detection of variations in the DNA sequence down to the single nucleotide level.
Role of the intercalating dye
HRM is made possible not only by specialized instrumentation and software, but also by the introduction of third-generation fluorescent dsDNA dyes (see figure
SYBR Green I versus EvaGreen dye
). Third-generation intercalating dyes such as EvaGreen have been successfully used for HRM analysis on various real-time cyclers. These dyes have low levels of inhibition and can therefore be used at higher concentrations for greater saturation of the dsDNA sample. Greater dye saturation means that the fluorescent signals measured have higher fidelity, because there is less dynamic dye redistribution to nondenatured regions of the nucleic acid strand during melting, and because dyes do not favor products with a higher melting temperature profile (Wittwer et al. 2003). The combination of these characteristics provides greater melt sensitivity and higher resolution melt profiles, resulting in more distinct melting curves.
Using HRM to study base pair differences
HRM can be used to even detect single base pair differences (see figure
HRM analysis of homozygous and heterozygous samples
), as seen in complex applications such as SNP detection, mutation analysis, as well as microbial typing.
One of the most frequent applications of HRM is SNP genotyping. SNPs are single nucleotide variations in the genome with a frequency higher than 1% in a given population. These variations indicate how individuals respond to diseases, environmental factors, and drugs. SNPs are typically divided into four different classes (see table
SNP classification
), depending on the type of base exchange. A simple exchange of an A by a T will have only a very subtle influence on the
, but will still affect the melting behavior of the amplicon.

Using HRM for methylation analysis
HRM can be successfully used to detect changes in the methylation status of DNA.
Amplification of bisulfite-converted DNA is carried out using primers that are conversion-specific, but not methylation-specific. The primers should therefore comprise several converted cytosines and should flank CpG islands (see figure
Principle of methylation analysis of the APC promoter by HRM
). This is to ensure amplification of bisulfite-converted DNA only and enable distinction between methylated and unmethylated CpG sites during HRM analysis. GC-rich stretches of DNA are more stable and melt more slowly compared to AT-rich regions and remain double stranded at higher temperatures for longer (see figure

Article Rebutal Essay
Sorry, but copying text is forbidden on this website!
The flu shot. Should you or shouldn't you get one? That is a very common question to ask as flu season quickly approaches. The Mayo Clinic offers an article on their website stating that the best way to avoid the flu is primarily by means of vaccination. Does this mean one cannot avoid the flu if they don't receive the immunization? What happens to the people who cannot afford the shot, or those who cannot access the places to receive one? Is one to be plagued by sickness if they were to go against injecting the inoculation?
While the Mayo clinic itself is a reputable hospital and research facility, the article, "Flu shot: Your best bet for avoiding influenza" (Mayo 2012) offered no evidence or support for the claim.
There was support for avoiding getting the flu, but no proof that the shot itself would offer such protection. After further investigation, there were numerous studies repudiating the claims that are made regarding the efficacy of the flu shot.
One such study (which was actually pro-vaccination) stated that the shot only provided moderate protection and was lacking in evidence in the 65 and up age range (Lancet). In another finding, namely the leaflet that comes inside the drugs packaging, the insert for FLULAVAL states "there have been no controlled trials adequately demonstrating a decrease in influenza disease after vaccination with FLULAVAL". Then why take it?
While the side effects of the flu shot can be mild such as soreness at the injection site or aching muscles, they can also be as severe as an allergic reaction causing, guess what, flu like symptoms. Who wants that? Plus there is the chance that the vaccines don't match the viruses circulating (Mayo). Now wait a minute, somebody is predicting the upcoming viruses and then making the immunization? How does that work? Are these same people consulting a crystal ball or palm reading the other doctors and scientists by any chance?
While it may be medically necessary for a person to receive an influenza vaccination while in a hospital setting or nursing home, the bottom line is sick people get sick while healthy people do not. To avoid the flu this season, eat well, exercise regularly, manage stress and take some vitamins. Keep your hands clean by washing them regularly and avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth whenever possible but especially if the hands are not clean. Prevention is still the best medicine and as Thomas Edison so fabulously quantified, "The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest her or his patients in the care of the human frame, in a proper diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease".

A traveler at heart I have got a chance to travel to USA and UK and most of India, except a few regions of eastern India.
A friend of mine advised me on my first ever such trip to research every nook and cranny and carry all required stuff before I landed in a strange country with unknown natives. I must admit I was spooked because it was my first ever travel overseas, though the accommodation and travel was taken care of by my employer then, but the other things seemed scary at first. I wondered about the itinerary, the food, the documents to be carried and every little detail.I was so anxious that I nearly cancelled my trip. But my supportive family stood by my side and helped me through.It was a long, boring flight and my health seemed to desert me too. The airport food did me no good and my stomach started to rumble in mid-air. The size of flight toilets made it all the more difficult for me.
After all the adventure mid-air, I finally landed at the Heathrow airport and felt a sense of relief. However the motion sickness and jet lag continued while I had to join work the next day.I was fortunate to have an understanding boss and team mates who helped me settle in the initial days and agreed to cook me lovely Indian dishes that helped me get my stamina back.
Over the weekends, my team mates advised me on the must-visit places in and around London and I decided to go solo as most of them had already been there more than once. So I took a map of the underground railways in UK and my passport/visa and started early. I reached the train station just in time for the departing train and made sure I was in the right one. I had decided to visit the Oxford university, the Bath and other locations.The train arrived at the station and I walked out of the station to find myself engulfed by the most wonderful weather in UK. It was a bright sunny day and I decided to walk to the nearest bus stop.
While I was walking I felt a sense of freedom I had never experienced earlier. I was a modern day Indian girl who has a career and life outside home but this was different. Point is that, the more I freed myself from the realms of my anxious thoughts, the more I enjoyed the experience. I was ecstatic to visit one of my most admired universities in the world. I walked along the most beautiful cafes, decided to step inside for a cup of English tea and croissants and made some wonderful friends.
That day I realized that my thoughts burdened me more than the weight of the luggage I was carrying. My friend advised me to carry all my knowledge and belongings with me but I advise all my fellow travellers to 'Travel Light'. Here travelling light does not indicate that you leave behind your essential kit or your prescribed medication. It has more to do with your mindset. So the next trip you book to that exotic location or the work trip that you cannot escape, take some time out to break away from the routine and experience the locales, leave behind the worries and fears, do not over-analyse and make no mistake of being opinionated about the natives there. Stay positive and live free!! Leave the baggage home!!

Secrets Can Kill (SCK), originally released in 1998 by Dreamcatcher, is the first of Her Interactive's licensed Nancy Drew graphical adventure games, and it's a rich and rewarding experience. It's set in a small town in Florida, where the murder of a local high school student and plenty of suspects peaks Nancy's curiosity to the "boiling point." The game is chocked full of clues, codes, and Easter Eggs--and puzzles galore. In short, it's a great game for all ages and both sexes, and even educational to boot. It's a well designed GAG with lots going for it, so if you see it, grab it--you won't be disappointed.
What can I say? I'm becoming a big fan of a line of graphical adventures intended for prepubescent teens. After completing Danger on Deception Island last month, I was on the lookout for more Nancy titles in the local bargain bins. I was ecstatic (and incredulous!) to find this 75th Anniversary collection, published by the Adventure Company, at my local Target for only $20! This was an incredible deal, and I'll be gradually reviewing these games as I complete them. I no doubt attribute the high quality and caliber of these games to Her Interactive--read up the team, and I think you'll see why they've got a good thing going here. These are smart folks doing smart things!
Anyway, on to the game. At first, the scope may seem limiting to those more drawn to "400+ locations" style of games. There are really only four places Nancy can visit: Her Aunt Eloise's house, the high school, a hamburger joint, and a pharmaceutical factory. The biggest of these is the high school, which consists of maybe 12 locations. Don't let that discourage you, though. Limiting the explorable space helps greatly in pacing and puzzle solving, since you don't have to drag your avatar all over the world to solve them. Besides, this game isn't so much about exploring rooms as investigating suspects. Each of the three students Nancy interviews at the high school are all somehow implicated in the murder, and it's up to Nancy to discover how their stories clash and ferret out the truth. She'll also need to find ways to break in to off-limits part of the school--all the while evading someone who wants to put her off the case permanently.
Many people (well, at least me!) always assumed that Nancy Drew as a sort of "goody two-shoes" role model for young girls. This is far from the truth. Nancy has no qualms about breaking and entering, stealing, impersonation, and threatening people if it means solving a case. Danger? Nancy's there, and certainly doesn't need a man around to protect her. In short, I can't imagine a better role model for a young girl to follow; Nancy is about as far from a bubbleheaded bimbo as it's possible to get, yet doesn't compensate by turning into a "ninja with boobs and a butt" that you get with other girl avatars. What makes Nancy attractive as an avatar is her intelligence and bravery.
Surprisingly, the control scheme and graphics weren't that different than the much later game Danger at Deception Island. The graphics can probably best be described as "cartoonish," though with a distinctly CGI quality about them. They're neat and well defined, and work very well to keep players focused on the game rather than its graphics. The controls are of the simple point-and-click variety familiar to players of Myst. Like that game, SCK is played from first-person perspective. When the mouse rolls over a "hotspot," Nancy can either pick up an object, zoom in to get a better look, or, if it's a person, initiate a conversation. Interestingly, some of the rooms offer a panaromic view; clicking on the sides of the screen will rotate the perspective slightly. Also, Nancy can look up or crouch to see under things. In short, the game is designed to let players get a really close look at each location, which is often necessary to find hidden clues and objects.
Many of the puzzles in SCK are exceedingly clever, most involving some type of transcoding. Braille, sign language, and various forms of cryptography are employed here to challenge players. Clues also have a habit of popping up in inexplicable (and unrealistic) places, such as a row of characters around an old map of Florida. There are also countless references to other facets of the Nancy Drew universe, ranging from subtle ones like "Ned's Mustard" (Ned is Nancy's boyfriend), to the words "Nancy Drew" hidden on seemingly innocent texts (like menus or bulletins). These are mostly Easter Eggs with no real bearing on the gameplay, but it's still fun to see how many of them you can find.
While it is possible for Nancy to be killed, a handy "Second Chance" feature standard in Nancy Drew games will restore the game to the moment just before the fatal event. This is a great feature that reduces the need to constantly save the game (a distraction, to say the least!). There are some tricky puzzles here--indeed, some of them were challenging even for my wife and me to solve. Fortunately, the game does offer a "Junior" mode with simpler puzzles and more time for timed puzzles.
I did have one fairly serious problem with the game, however. For some reason, the main menu and save game screens seem to have a bug, so I had to click many times with my mouse to load and save games. A similar problem occurred during the dialogue screens. Again, this bug wasn't a show-stopper, but it could really use a patch.
The abundance of Easter Eggs and the cleverness of the puzzles make this SCK my favorite Nancy Drew game so far. I'll be back with reviews of the other games as we complete them, including the second game--so Stay Tuned.

The intel community outlines its case for Russian hacking
Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered an effort to help Republican Donald Trump's electoral chances by discrediting Democrat Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential campaign, U.S. intelligence agencies said in an assessment. Justin Mitchell reports.
U-S intelligence leaders on Friday asserting "high confidence" that hackers backed by Vladimir Putin's Russia interceded in the 2016 presidential election-and that Putin himself ordered the operations. That's according to a new unclassified assessment dropped Friday afternoon -- the report coming just hours after President-elect Donald Trump was briefed Friday by the same intelligence officials he's been feuding with for weeks over Russian hacking allegations-including outgoing Director of National Intelligence James Clapper… After the briefing, Trump's office released a statement conceding for the first time that Russia could have done some of the hacking against the Democratic National Committee that rocked the 2016 campaign. But Trump denying it had any effect on the outcome of the election and saying he would ask for a plan to combat cyberattacks once he takes office. Earlier Friday, Trump telling the New York Times the focus on Russian hacking allegations is a quote "political witch hunt" somehow engineered by Democrats.

The British Empire, the Ottoman Empire, and even the Romans are examples for America. England's empire was ruined by the costs of two world wars.
The Ottomans of Turkey depended on borrowed money, the last empire to do so. Rome went down because taxes became so high that citizens welcomed the barbarian invasions as a way of escaping Roman tax collectors. Today, they are gone, but we can learn from their failures.
We may not see ourselves as having an empire, but with some 800 military stations abroad and two unending trillion dollar wars, we do. Even a great and blessed country can become an empire when it extends itself, even with the best intentions, into the farthest corners of the world.
These are perilous times. Our future, in the words of Senator Tom Coburn, "is as uncertain and tenuous as at any point in our history." The Tea Party represents probably the last hope for reform — for stopping ruinous government spending, reining in our out-of-control bureaucracy, and saving our constitutional freedoms. I believe that our movement must also take a stand for the principle in Thomas Jefferson's first inaugural address: "Peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations — entangling alliances with none."
James Madison's often quoted dictum, "No nation can preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare," reflected a view that was widely shared by the Founders. That concept was a basis for our Constitution's provision that only Congress can declare war. Yet, today, America's presidents start wars as if they were kings in old Europe. (Those wars, it should be noted, were a major reason our forefathers risked all to leave Europe.)
Washington is full of interests that profit from wars; support for wars cuts across party lines. U.S. involvement in the war on Serbia about Kosovo was started by a Democrat president and supported by most establishment Republicans in the Congress. (Outside of Washington, the war had little conservative support. A majority of newly elected Republicans in Congress, freshmen and sophomores, voted against it.)
Barack Obama owes the 2008 Democratic nomination and most likely the election to the fact that he opposed the Iraq war backed by Hillary Clinton and George W. Bush – yet, once in power, he now follows most of the same foreign policies as President Bush. Yearly military spending is far higher even than the $700 billion shown in the budget. An analysis by Robert Higgs of the Independent Institute shows that it is well over $1 trillion — over a million times a million dollars — if one includes intelligence, homeland security, nuclear weaponry, and other hidden items.
And an October 29, 2010 Washington Post report on the $80 billion intelligence community exposed duplicative work and incredible waste, with some 50,000 reports yearly and nearly a million persons holding top secret security clearances. In the wake of the report, not a single Republican congressional leader voiced a word of support for reforming the intelligence community.
Overseas, the State Department's "public diplomacy" effort (also known as "winning hearts and minds") is a notorious failure, as one might expect given that, for example, the department has only two or three diplomats who speak Arabic well enough to debate our foreign policy on local television.
Meanwhile, tens of billions in foreign aid programs also show incredible waste, with some of this aid from the U.S. taxpayer being used to prop up dictatorships.
America Alone
We go it almost alone in our wars and now are about to expand the war in Afghanistan into Pakistan as well, where America's once great popularity has now plummeted. A recent Pew Research poll indicates that two thirds of Pakistanis now consider America their enemy.
And our supposed victory in Iraq is such that few American businessmen dare to visit, fearing for their lives from families wanting vengeance for the deaths of relatives and for other suffering caused by war. Most trade and oil contracts in Iraq are going to other nations, not the U.S., and the country's two million refugees include most of the nation's Christians, their businesses ruined and their lives threatened.
Tea Party supporters are solidly pro-defense. They need not be awed by the Defense establishment which is bloated beyond imagination and bankrupting our nation. Washington must prioritize issues and reform spending. Senator Coburn has said that the military industrial complex has made weapons too expensive for America to buy. This is because inputs are spread around congressional districts to make work, such as the F-22 that had parts made in 42 states.
Advocates of high levels of military spending often argue that America should have the same percentage of its economy devoted to the military as during the Cold War. They even compare Islamist radicals to the Soviet Union, with all its nuclear missiles, half of Europe in its servitude, and with vast leftist networks in Europe and America supporting its goals. It is absurd to suggest that the Islamist threat is at or near the level of the Soviet threat.
To a great degree, it is America's own policies which generated the hatred against us. It is not unpatriotic to suggest so, any more than to say that U.S. welfare policies fostered dependency or that U.S. government regulations pushed banks to issue subprime loans. America is the greatest country in the world, but often our government makes mistakes that harm our legitimate interests.
As Pat Buchanan famously said, "They are over here because we are over there." Few Americans remember or even know about the memorable inquiry on 60 Minutes (May 12, 1996) by Leslie Stahl to former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright about the human cost of a half million Iraqi children dying of starvation and disease during the Clinton Administration's economic blockade of Iraq — a tragedy that occurred after we bombed Iraq's irrigation, electricity and sanitation systems during the first Iraq war. Albright's famous answer was, "Yes, we think it was worth it."
During the Presidential debates, Ron Paul was the lone candidate to spell out the real reasons America is hated and was attacked. Yet today we see President Obama continuing most of the Bush war (and homeland security) policies. He has not even closed a single overseas base. His actions show how powerful and entrenched are the pro-war forces in Washington.
Looting Our Own Treasury
"Follow the money!" is always a good rule. Wags in Washington comment how most empires loot conquered nations. Instead, in America, it is our own Treasury which gets looted. Look now at the proposals to spend billions on missile defenses for Europe against Iran. The Europeans don't think it's worth the cost, so Washington is offering to pay for all of it.
Did you know that we spend some half a million dollars per year for each soldier we maintain in combat?
If America is to survive and thrive, we must cut back on our forces abroad. The perpetual warfare must end. Bankrupting our country makes us neither safer nor better liked in the outside world. It also costs us our liberties as our government shreds the Fourth Amendment in an impossible quest to achieve a perfect level of safety.
Defense, Medicare, and Medicaid are where most money is spent (and wasted). If the defense budget is declared off-limits by Tea Partiers and their allies, meaningful budget cuts are impossible.
Therefore, I propose that the Tea Party's foreign policy be based on these principles:
1) We must treat all nations fairly. We must not create or motivate enemies unnecessarily.
2) We must maintain our economic strength and vitality, and not waste money on military efforts that are unnecessary or counterproductive.
3) We must work with allies and other nations. As Winston Churchill noted, "There is only one thing worse than fighting with allies, and that is fighting without them."
4) We must maintain our moral bearings which once gave us great strength in the minds of all the world's downtrodden. We must become again that "shining city on a hill," with freedom and prosperity that appealed to all mankind.
Sun Tzu, the legendary Chinese military tactician, said the key to victory was to "Know thyself and know thy enemy." We must understand our own limitations, we must make every possible effort to understand our enemies' motivations and beliefs, and, most important, we must realize that democracies cannot run empires.
Ultimately, we must be a republic, not an empire.

Winchester, The Old Capital Of England
While the focus of Hampshire normally goes to Southampton, or to a lesser extent Portsmouth, a visit here is not complete without exploring Winchester, the old English Capital City.
Before London became the bustling metropolis that it is today, England's seat of power was in Winchester. It cannot be established with certainty when the first settlement was founded, but the site was developed by the Romans and was called Venta Belgarum. When the Romans withdrew from Britain in around 400 AD, Winchester began to take shape under the Anglo Saxons.
In this culture, the King's Court was often moved around, but more often than not, it convened in this city. Winchester's most prominent landmark is its cathedral, which is one of the largest Gothic buildings of its kind in Europe. It was completed in 1079 and while not the biggest in the continent, it does hold the record for being the longest one.
Winchester also houses the Bishop's castle and palace from the Norman times. Its title is Wolvesey Castle and Palace and was built on the site of an earlier Saxon structure. It was completed in 1110. It is now a ruin, but it still attracts a lot of visitors.
Winchester Castle is known for its Great Hall, which was built around the year 2013. It is home to the King Arthur's Round Table, which still hangs from the ceiling. Whether or not it is the real one remains a matter of debate, but the locals will swear blindly that it is. Other landmarks include the Hospital of St Cross, Winchester Guildhall, the City Water mill and the Westgate Museum which features items of weaponry and armor from through the ages.
Today, Winchester has a population of about 50,000 people. It has a university and a nearby equestrian college. It is one of those old British cities that you just have to walk around and enjoy, imagining the sights and sounds that you could have seen hundreds of years ago.

TAX season is approaching — and for hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers, that means that it's time to reclaim money that they've already worked hard for: their Earned Income Tax Credits, or EITCs.
The city, state and federal governments have created EITCs to help hardworking families make their way up the economic ladder.
It's money they've earned, and money they're entitled to.
We want to make sure they get it back — and today, I want to talk about a few of the innovative ways we are doing that.
This year, we're resuming a program that we launched in 2007 that has helped thousands of New Yorkers claim their EITCs.
Many who are eligible for them don't claim them — often because they don't know about them.
So in the next few weeks, we're going to mail out some 7,000 amended returns to them.
All they'll need to do is sign them, mail them in, and stand by to collect $5.7 million in EITCs they've already earned.
Then there's what in past years we've called "SaveNYC."
It's a program that's allowed some EITC filers to put aside a portion of their refunds in special savings accounts, where they're matched 50 cents to the dollar using private funds raised by the city.
Save NYC has helped many New Yorkers build up their savings for when they really need them.
And that's why the Obama Administration, with our help, is now replicating the effort in three other cities — and rechristening the program "Save USA."
We're also partnering with H&R Block to offer low-cost help in filing returns.
Typically, the tax prep giant charges upwards of hundreds of dollars for its services.
But if you have children and made less than $41,000 last year, or have no children and made less than $31,000, then you qualify for a great discount: Just $29.
All you'll need to do is print a coupon from the city's website at nyc.gov, and bring it to a participating H&R Block site.
It's that simple.
And there are even better deals to be had.
Some qualifying residents won't have to spend a dime if they use the city's free tax-prep website at nyc.gov
Others can get free assistance from nearly 20 tax assistance and preparation sites that we've set up around the city and that are staffed by volunteers recruited through NYC Service.
Just call 311 or visit nyc.gov to find the location closest to you.
Now, not everyone is eligible for the programs I've mentioned.
But make no mistake:
We all benefit from them.
The EITC alone puts more than $2 billion back in the hands of New Yorkers.
That money then ripples through our local economy, supporting neighborhood businesses and jobs.
That's reason enough to make sure all New Yorker get the refunds they've already worked for.

2014 Ramey Chardonnay "Ritchie Vineyard"
Winery: Ramey
Vintage: 2014
Wine Name/Vineyard: "Ritchie Vineyard"
Wine Category: Chardonnay
Grape blend: 100% Chardonnay
Bottle size: 750 ml
Region: Russian River Valley
State or country: CA
Price: $65
Cases produced: 1,250
KWG Score: 94.7 (based on 4 reviews)
Ken's Wine Rating: Very Good+ (93)
Review date: July 24, 2017
Wine Review: This light yellow colored Chardonnay from the Richie Vineyard is terrific. It opens with a Meyer lemon bouquet with hints of pineapple, bread dough and light oak. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, balanced and savory. The flavor profile is a tasty toasted coconut and lemon blend with notes of Bosc pear. I also detected hints of delicate oak and minerality. The finish is dry and its flavors fade away nicely. This Chardonnay could certainly be consumed on its own. With food, I would serve it with pan-fried crab cakes. Enjoy - Ken
Winemaker Notes: Our Ritchie Chardonnay walks the fine line between richness and delicacy. It has a complex and harmonious mouthfeel that balances power and elegance.
Organic status: not organic
Buy it: Use 1000 Corks to find stores that sell Ramey 2014 Ritchie Chardonnay.

In order to make life difficult for the Indian batsmen in the forthcoming Test series, Cricket South Africa want to leave no stone unturned. On Wednesday (January 3), the CSA flew in SuperSports Park Centurion curator named Bryan Bloy to assist Newlands curator Evan Flint in preparing the seaming pitch for the first Test, slated to be commenced on January 5.
SuperSport Park is widely deemed as the most lively wicket in South Africa and Bryan Bloy being a chief curator plays a key role in making it a nightmare for the betters. Earlier, Newlands groundsman Evan Flint had said that the visitors will not face the extreme adverse conditions in Cape Town as the worst drought in many years didn't allow the groundsmen to prepare a pitch that favors the home team.
"With the pitch, we've been able to carry on watering it as usual every day with borehole water. But the outfield, we've only watered it twice a week so it's a little bit drier and maybe not as lush as we would like it," Flint had told ESPNcricinfo.
"The challenge is that we need to leave live grass on the wicket, thin grass, so that there is pace, but we want to make sure the ball doesn't grip and turn. Ideally, what we need is a little bit of rain in the morning and then sun in the afternoon and I don't know how many days we will get that for," he further added.
Having the services of SuperSports Park curator clearly suggest that the draught restrain the Proteas' plan of dishing up a seaming deck.
"The boys don't just want a fast wicket, they also want seam movement. The idea is to work on South Africa's strength and India's weakness. Bloy was flown in to assist Flint in his preparations. I would like to believe this is how modern-day cricket works with home teams playing to their strength. Remember the 2015 series between these two teams in India?" a CSA official said while speaking to CricketNext.
It is a well thought out plan from Cricket South Africa to dismantle the strong Indian batting lineup by bringing up the SuperSports Park curator. In the last three Tests at Centurion, the fats bowlers have scalped 83 of the 93 wickets while the pacers have taken 59 of the 81 wickets in Cape Town in as many Tests.

Those who offer Pay Per Click products understand they are on the ground floor of something big. The non-direct results are where the real value lies, and it is where you should be focusing the bulk of your effort. However Sem Consultant is completly different. Jesse Grillo is an online marketing expert living in Hermosa Beach, California. It's easier to explain what to do with Marketing.
I promise not to waste your time, please do not waste mine. Where you really get an edge is when you look at the newest Facebook Marketing studies. Remember, Organic Search pros are saying Sem Consultant is the next big thing. Are you familiar with what's hot now and what strategies you should be getting ready for? let's find out! Residing out in Hawaii and hype man for Search Engine Optimization.
Are they trying to have their cake and consume it too? Most importantly, it is critical to ensure you are not only building a Pay Per Click strategy that is repeatable but that you have something that is documented and understood by all members of your team. Seems like Social Media Ads are constantly changing and Sem Consultant is paving the way. Focus on the mobile-first attitude. Sales have been making serious efforts to give more Search Engine Optimization. Concentrate on what unifies us, rather than exactly what divides us.
Heads up, Torrance: We're hosting a Internet Marketing after party next week. Still, never underestimate the competitors. How has Sem Consultant affected the world of SEO? The ever-changing nature of Social Media Ads is what makes it so intriguing, challenging, and frustrating. These younger consumers are more responsive and responsive to email instead of telephone call or in-person meetings. Millennials generally deal with several jobs at the same time, so email permit is them to respond at the time when it is hassle-free for them. If you are fortunate adequate to get face time with millennials, keep your pitch quick and forget using a PowerPoint presentation.
Last Wednesday I tried Display Ads. There is a simple method to fix this. Finally, there is a Marketing that gives people what they want. People can talk about Social Media Ads however when it comes down to it, Sem Consultant is the top decision. This is a questionable one. Don't be intimidated by these Facebook Marketing terms.
The next approach is sometimes called the low-hanging fruit technique. This new data was sited from the Sem Consultant page.
There are so many little nuances to Sem Consultant that make it exciting.

SHARP: The lower half of Empire33's "Custer" handbag is nothing to write home about (though fyi, it's made of high-quality Italian leather). The handle, however, is a recrafting of an American Civil War sword handle, and it's amazing (there's another model with a Japanese samurai sword handle). Each bag is custom and priced accordingly; inquire and place orders at the Empire33 website.
