Why do I compare Obama’s economy to the so-called “Arab Spring”? Think back: when the Arab world first began rioting, the liberal-dominated mainstream media coined it “the Arab Spring.” It was a wonderful thing, they claimed. It was the Arab world blossoming under Obama and claiming “democracy.”

If you’re looking for a smart new accessory that will help organize your life and tell you the time, but don’t fancy wearing a watch, then the perfect replacement has made its first appearance. The Mutewatch is a wristband which features a touch activated LED display, that when inactive is invisible.
You could call it your silent life managing device, as when activated it allows users to set an alarm that rather than make a loud annoying sound, it subtly vibrates so it affects only you. The clock display also remains invisible until touched.
This wrist strap device was first heard of when it became available for pre-order almost a year ago, at the time little was known about the Mutewatch though it came across as unique. Today’s news of the accessory comes about after an advert for it appeared flaunting its feature and various functions.
Watches seem somewhat of a useless tool | nowadays with almost everyone owning a cell phone which pretty much does the same thing plus more. Despite this the Mutewatch’s Swedish makers will be hoping for much success from their product which is priced at $259. It is available in three colors red white and black and is expected to ship in July.

My good pals William and Lia brought us back us back some goodies from Japan (aka, my dream destination). In this bag of goodies were a couple satchels of this cat tea. Not being able to read Japanese, I wondered, is this tea for a cat? Is it for me? Is it for both of us? What is this? I mean there’s a cat on the front who looks like they are drinking some tea – really? What kind of tea is this?

Editor’s Note: William Gilly, a professor of cell and developmental biology and marine and organismal biology at Stanford University, is traveling with a group of students on board the Don José in the Sea of Cortez. They will monitor and track Humboldt squid and sperm whales in their watery habitats. This is the group’s seventh blog post.
SEA OF CORTEZ—In our pursuit of discovery, we have snorkeled four times in the last two days and completed three intertidal transects. The diversity and beauty in the Gulf of California continually challenge us to open our minds to new organisms and concepts, and I have learned a great deal about the bright fish that swim across our path. It has come to my attention that Cortez wrasses (Thalassoma lucasanum) have a particularly interesting life cycle, and I hope to impart my new knowledge in this area to all the wrasse parents I have seen swimming beneath us.

The term parasitic battery draw refers to the electrical devices that continue to draw
current from the battery when the ignition key is in the OFF position. As a rule of thumb
normal parasitic draws are below 50 milliamps, however it is always best to refer to the
original vehicle manufacturers specifications for recommended limits. Before a parasitic
draw test can be performed the batteries state of charge must be greater than 75%.
Before testing a battery it is very important to follow some simple safety rules.
Always wear eye protection and keep open flames away from the battery. If using a
battery charger, always confirm that the charger is off before connecting or
disconnecting the charger. Batteries produce hydrogen gas which is extremely
flammable; do not smoke while servicing a battery. Batteries should only be charged
in well ventilated areas. The electrolyte in the battery contains sulfuric acid, latex
gloves are highly recommended.
Testing For Parasitic Draw
To perform the parasitic draw test you will need a digital amp meter capable of
reading milliamps and a minimum of 10 amps. Be certain that your meter has a fuse
intended to protect the meter for the rare occurrence of an ab | normally high amp

For Christmas, I wanted to bake a dessert that was at the same time good, kind of Christmasy (in the sense that it was a beautiful dessert, not just a cake – no offense meant to cakes) and simple.

Film Sparks Long-Simmering Frustration In Pakistan
Originally published on Sun September 23, 2012 10:43 am
LINDA WERTHEIMER, HOST:
This is WEEKEND EDITION from NPR News. I'm Linda Wertheimer.
In Pakistan, a government minister is offering a $100,000 bounty for anyone who kills the maker of a video that denigrates the Islamic Prophet Muhammad. The offer came one day after many cities in Pakistan were engulfed in violent demonstrations over the online video. At least 23 people were killed and 200 others injured.
NPR's Jackie Northam is in Pakistan's | capital, Islamabad. She joins us now. Good morning, Jackie.
JACKIE NORTHAM, BYLINE: Good morning, Linda.
WERTHEIMER: So what can you tell us about this offer of a reward?
NORTHAM: Well, Ghulam Ahmad Bilour is the cabinet minister in charge of Pakistan's railway system, and he said he would pay this bounty to anyone who murders the person responsible for the anti-Islam video, which he calls blasphemous. And he invited both the Taliban and Al-Qaida to help. Bilour | [

The momentum equations that describe sea ice drift for a viscous-plastic (VP) ice rheology are difficult to solve numerically, because the associated bulk and shear viscosities can be very large.

In order to assess their relative performance, experiments | with idealized geometry are used to compare model solutions of implicit VP- and explicit EVP-solvers in two very different ice-ocean codes: the regular-grid, finite-volume Massachusetts Institute of Technology general circulation model (MITgcm) and the Alfred Wegener Institute Finite Element Ocean Model (FEOM).

Incorporating cinnamon and oregano essential oils (EO) into certain plastics provides antimicrobial properties, new research into active packaging has found.
But the study from a group of Spanish scientists concluded the main factor inhibiting growth of bacteria and moulds was related not to the total amount of active chemical released but instead to when these compounds reached the surface of material – known as the critical time.
The type of packaging material used also played an important role in the efficacy of the antimicrobial performance.
Based on a growing use of natural antimicrobials of plant origin, the team selected cinnamon and oregano as previous research had suggested the essential oils contained compounds that made them the most effective among these substances.
The antimic | obial constituent of cinnamon is the compound cinnamaldahyde – which is believed to have the highest anti-fungal activity among aliphatic aldenhydes. Carvacrol and thymol are the relevant compounds in oregano, said the researchers led by Christina Nerin. The work was published in the journal Foodbourne Pathogens and Disease.

Tests for esophageal motor dysfunction and acid exposure have improved significantly in the last decade. High-resolution manometry (HRM) has replaced conventional manometry as the gold standard for assessing esophageal motility; impedance pH monitoring is an improvement over earlier pH tests; and the wireless Bravo system provides an option for patients who can't tolerate catheter-based pH studies or need longer monitoring. All three tests are used at Mayo Clinic's multidisciplinary esophageal clinic in Rochester, Minn.
Manometry assesses motor function in the esophagus by measuring pressures generated by the esophageal muscles and sphincters. Conventional and high-resolution manometry differ mainly in the number of pressure sensors on the esophageal catheters. Conventional manometry uses catheters with four to eight sensors. HRM catheters, on the other hand, have 20 to 36 sensors spaced.4-inch (1 centimeter) apart, leading to greatly improved accuracy in the diagnosis of motility disorders.
HRM also allows | more versatility in data analysis and is better tolerated by patients. The tube is more flexible and easily placed, and the actual test time — 10 to 20 minutes — is considerably shorter. Combined with intraluminal impedance monitoring, which measures the flow of liquids and gas in the esophagus, HRM can provide a far more complete study than | [

International: Petition in Support of Gita Sahgal Reaches 1569 Signatures
Global Petition to Amnesty International: Restoring the Integrity of Human Rights
As organisations and individuals who stand for and support the universality of human rights, we have noted with concern the suspension of Gita Sahgal, Head of the Gender Unit at the International Secretariat of Amnesty International in London, for questioning Amnesty International’s partnership with individuals whose politics towards the Taliban are ambiguous.
We come from communities that recognize and appreciate the work of Amnesty International in defending human rights and women’s rights around the world. Many of us work closely with Amnesty International in their campaigns at various levels.
We believe that Gita Sahgal has raised a fundamental point of principle which is “about the importance of the human rights movement maintaining an objective distance from groups and ideas that are committed to systematic discrimination”.
This issue of principle is critical at the present moment, with the United States led “War on Terror” leading to the suspension of human rights and increased surveillance over individuals and the body politic. | Ironically, the language of human rights and human rights defenders is being taken over by the US/NATO alliance in its efforts to legitimise a re-born imperialism. Equally disturbingly, this language is also being hijacked by organizations that espouse extremist and violent forms of identity-based politics. The space for a position that challenges both these is shrinking, and human rights are becoming hostage to broader | [

This day 100 years ago, on May 18th, 1911, the Austrian composer and conductor Gustav Mahler died at age 50 of heart disease.
During his lifetime, Mahler was both famous and infamous as one of the most meticulous and demanding conductors of his time; when he received the prestigious post as musical director of the Vienna Opera house in 1897, he set about to turn it into one of the leading opera houses in the world; in fact, much of the reputation it has today still goes back to Mahler. His performances of Wagner, Mozart and Beethoven's Fidelio were considered revolutionary at the time. When an anti-Semitic press campaign (Mahler was born a Jew, but converted to Catholicism early on) led to his resignation in 1907, Mahler took on posts at the Met and with the New York Philharmonic.
As a | composer, Mahler continued the symphonic tradition of Brahms and Bruckner, paving the way for the musical modernism of Shostakovich, Webern, or Schönberg. However, during his lifetime his symphonies were met with little acclaim, and after his death they all but disappeared from the repertoire, until their grandeur was rediscovered in the 1960 | [

|Holyoke city workers staying busy this spring|
|Written by Kyle Arnoldy|
City workers have been busy the past few weeks dealing with snow and preparing for the spring and summer, reported City Superintendent Mark Brown at the March 5 City Council meeting.
Snow caused the most work as city workers removed it from the streets by the semi-load. Board member Scott Murray commented that he had heard citizens praise the efforts of the city to remove snow. Murray also commended Brown and his crews for their work.
Brown also mentioned that crack filling season is almost here. The city has purchased a semi-load of sealant that should last for the next 2-3 years.
The city has also recently purchased 2,000 gallons of jet fuel in preparation for any jet traffic in the area.

Dyson Animal DC25
When I read that the Dyson Animal vacuum was designed for pets, I became very excited (as part of our beefed up vacuum selection, Warners’ Stellian now sells Dyson vacuums), because
A) Pet vacuums offer legitimacy to my animals-with-appliances photo habit (see below right)
2) I know how difficult pet hair can be to remove from carpet and flooring.
(And from the vacuum itself, for that matter. However, the Dyson Animal’s cleaner head design allows scissors in to cut tangled hairs from the brush bar – genius!).
I used to clean a house where three dogs with short, thick hair lived. Cleaning the carpet required multiple vacuum passes, and hairs still stuck deep in the carpet fibers despite my best efforts. Why? Most bagged vacuums lose suction power as you use them.
But Dyson’s Root Cyclone technology always sucks with the same amount of suckiness (which is a lot). >>Read more
Plus, | suction alone isn’t enough for stubborn pet hair.
To remedy this, Dyson’s engineers developed a brush bar that will dig into your carpet at speeds of up to 5,400 revolutions per minute without obstructing the airflow.
Dyson vacuum HEPA filters never need replacing, either, because they last a lifetime and were engineered to be easily cleaned at home.

“IT is too early to claim total victory, our scientists are rigorous about testing, but the initial results have been very encouraging,” said President Benigno S. Aquino III in his third State of the Nation Address.
At the Dept. of Science and Technology, scientists and experts continue to find ways to improve the effectiveness of the DOST-developed Mosquito Ovicidal-Larvicidal Trap and to promote its use to the public, especially in places affected by dengue.
Since its roll out last year, the OL Trap has shown impact in reducing dengue incidence in the country, DOST said in a press statement.
To further extend its benefit, DOST partnered with the Departments of Education and Health to distribute OL Trap kits to public elementary and high school classrooms in 31 provinces identified by the DOH.
DOST’s school-based OL Trap program aims to reduce mosquito population in schools and communities through the use of the OL Trap, which will subsequently decrease dengue incidents.
Currently, DOST is intensifying its information and education campaign in public schools and communities, distributing along with the kits various materials designed to increase awareness | on the OL Trap and its proper use.
Comics written in Filipino and in various vernaculars will be distributed to the various regions in the country to raise the knowledge of community folks on dengue and the OL Trap.
Posters featuring the different steps in using the OL Trap will also be distributed soon to every public school classroom.
“Findings have shown that schoolchildren are most vulnerable to dengue,” DOST Secretary Mario Montejo said.

|This episode of Disney's Saturday Morning cartoon "Recess" is clearly a parody of the film "Good Will Hunting". I hope this doesn't lower anyone's opinion of me...but I personally liked it better than the film!

Abstracted from: Rory Van Loo, A Tale of Two Debtors: Bankruptcy Disparities by Race, 72 Albany Law Review 231 (2009)
Legal policy has long struggled with the issue of official neutrality in the face of racially disparate results. While the days of laws explicitly discriminating against people of color may be gone, the legal system as a whole has not attained perfect race neutrality. Scholars have offered evidence of this tension in disparate spheres such as criminal justice, employment, and education. This paper adds to that history by offering evidence of racial difference in the court system in an area in which such differences had not been posited before: | bankruptcy filings. Such an addition to the debate is particularly timely given the current credit turmoil and heightened prominence of bankruptcy as a societal actor.
When it amended the Bankruptcy Code ("the Code") in 2005, Congress sought to curb perceived debtor "abuse" of bankruptcy laws by pushing more debtors out of Chapter 7 and into Chapter 13. The amendments thus deny some debtors | [

The club’s best team performance of the day in terms of position came from the women’s A team who finished 20th in a time of 2-08.06.
Yvonne Caswell (22.22) set off on the opening leg and did herself justice with a consistently paced run.

Reviewed by Roger Wright, University of Liverpool
Joseph Solodow, lecturer in Classics at Yale, joins the expanding ranks of scholars writing accessible histories of Latin, with his Latin Alive. This has a chronological range from several centuries B.C.E to the present day since Solodow's aim is to cover more or less simultaneously the historical development of the earliest Latin into the earliest recorded states of the three main Romance Languages and the influence of all of these on English. Thus the Romance Languages are shown to have been participating in a process that started before Latin, in Indo-European itself ( | 261). Given the English connection, differently from other works on the historical development of Romance, the focus here is centred on vocabulary, although phonetics and morphosyntax are also extensively summarized afterwards.

Tanks are a basically mobile armoured fortresses, so-to-speak. They are the most heavily armored unit on the modern battlefield. Given the large chassis, heavy armor, and a large calibre, a tank has the potential to deal large amounts of damage to the opponent if not dealt with right off the bat.
The concept of the tank first appeared in the 19th century, well before World War I.
A reader of The London United Service Magazine in 1833 imagined the concept that would not be realised for another 80 years
“The great forte of steam is its passiveness. Secure the boiler and the machinery from the stroke of a cannon-ball, and you might drive a steam-chariot triumphantly through a regiment.

The Historic Lincoln Theatre
The Lincoln Theatre, built in 1922, was the center of a cultural renaissance that predated Harlem. Washington natives Duke Ellington and Pearl Bailey were joined by nationally acclaimed artists such as Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holliday, Nat King Cole, Cab Calloway, Louis Armstrong, and Sarah Vaughn who performed regularly on our storied stage. Even FDR had his birthday parties at the Lincoln Colonnade, a festive party hall once located at the Theatre.
Langston Hughes conveyed the power of our stage to bring people to reflect and connect in "Lincoln Theatre":

The band down in the pit bursts into jazz.
The crowd applauds …."

Warnings that an ecological disaster is imminent in the area around the mountain have largely been ignored amid years of turmoil in Nepal. But conservationists think that growing political stability in the Himalayan kingdom means that the time has come and that the damage caused every year by thousands of climbers and tourists can no longer be ignored.
Maoist rebels declared a ceasefire with Nepal's government in April after a decade-long insurgency and are negotiating to join an interim government with the country's mainstream political parties. The Kathmandu Environmental Education Project (Keep) said that the relative calm has removed an obstacle in its efforts to persuade the authorities that a temporary closure of the mountain is the only solution to help it repair itself.
PT Sherpa, a spokesman for Keep, said: 'The Maoist insurgency presented conservation organisations in Nepal with serious challenges - constraining programmes, damaging infrastructure and threatening the security of staff. Now we are hoping for more open dialogue on conservation with the government, and resting Mount Everest for a number of years is at the top of our list.'
Campaigners warn that the price of tourism is discarded rubbish and medical waste and the colonisation of the | area by restaurants and internet cafes. Sherpa spelled out the strain being placed on the indigenous population. 'Providing enough electricity and water for the small communities surrounding Everest and the other Himalayan mountains becomes very challenging when there are tens of thousands of additional tourists and climbers in the region competing for these same resources,' he said. 'Nepal is ravaged by water and air pollution caused by industrialisation and increased tourism. Water supplies for local villages, delivered through irrigation systems in | [

A special education teacher at Warren Township High School in Gurnee was caught smoking marijuana under the bleachers at a wrestling meet at Antioch High School on Saturday, police said.
Peter Mulloy, 50, of the 21900 block of Michelle Lane in Antioch, was charged with possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia, court records show.

Mar. 13, 2005 The most intense swarms of earthquakes detected in the last 10 to 12 years on the far edge of the Juan de Fuca plate could indicate the eruption of magma from the seafloor or an underwater volcano. Between 50 and 70 earthquakes an hour, most of them small, were occurring at the end of February at a spot some 200 miles off the Canadian coast.
University of Hawaii's Jim Cowen, chief scientist, and National Atmospheric and Oceanic Administration's Ed Baker, co-chief scientist, are at sea now leading an expedition at the Endeavour Segment, the site of the quakes. The Endeavour Segment is located in deep water and the quakes are not of a magnitude that would cause noticeable effects on land in Canada or | the United States.

In the 1970s a man won the Spanish lottery with a ticket he’d specifically chosen for its ending number of 48, as recalled in Stanley Meisner's The Drunkard's Walk. Very proud of his “strategy” for winning, he explained: “I dreamed of the number 7 for seven straight nights, and 7 times 7 is 48."
As thinking creatures, we are all masters of pattern recognition, and we see the world around us in a cause-and-effect way, whether interpreting lottery winnings or a business success. Unfortunately, the world is inherently, marvelously, not predictable, so despite its evolutionary advantages, our talent for pattern recognition and cause-and-effect reasoning, along with our natural human biases, can easily undermine our rationality and | taint the way we interpret things. In business, most managers are biased to believe the effects they generate through their own actions are greater than they really are. Almost 90 percent of Chief Marketing Officers, for instance, believe that customers trust their own company’s brand as much as or more than they trust competitors’ brands!

There are so many businesses I couldn't live without.
Most of the time, I have no idea how I found them.
Some of them didn't have a voice at all. No website, no marketing materials, nothing to let me know that this perfect business was right there waiting for me. Others had copy ripped right from the pages of big sales copy gurus, so full of buzzwords and corporate speak that I couldn't tell this business was secretly the one that would save me from that huge problem I was having.
I know there are many more of you out there. Brilliant businesses without a voice - or even worse, with the wrong voice. Businesses who would be thriving if they weren't slowly suffocating under mounds of bad copy.
So I'm on a mission to give those businesses a voice.
If you have a business you love and want it to prosper, I write for you. If you are a good person from any industry, I want to hang out with you even if you don't need copy. If you'd willingly sell snake oil if it made you a millionaire, you're going to need to find another writer. | One without those pesky ethics. Sorry.

I’ve confused myself on this one. Almost 2 years ago, I purchased a whole bunch of LP-E6 aftermarket batteries that did not display the battery meter on the cameras.

George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) was, of course, much more than a playwright.

At 90, Stanley Jenkins is NUS' oldest surviving president. He was at the helm of the student movement during a critical post-war period when NUS’ work was dominated by the Cold War, a time when its leaders served a far more international role than those of today.
Since leaving NUS, Jenkins has served 28 years with the Foreign Office including postings to Kuala Lumpur, Burma, Cyprus and Oman, followed by 32 years (and counting) of active retirement.
By the time Stanley Jenkins enrolled onto a building technology course at Cardiff Technical College in 1946, he had already accumulated more stories to tell than most do in a lifetime. During World War Two, Jenkins recruited and trained West African troops before leading them through India into Burma. At the end of the war, he led a company of troops back to the Gold Coast (now Ghana) before being demobbed onto the streets of Liverpool with no money,
After the war he was expected to join his family firm of builders. Instead, he opted to study, and, after securing a Further Education Training Grant for £236 per annum, he started a four-year course at Cardiff Technical College.
The higher education sector had all but closed down during the war, and consequently Jenkins’ | generation of students was much older than those of subsequent and previous years. As unrest grew over what the older students considered ‘petty’ legal restrictions, Jenkins, in his second year, took action by lobbying his MP George Thomas, and was successful in having many regulations changed. Jenkins recalls: “This picked me out as a student who could get things done, and I was nominated as Welsh Vice President of NUS.” And so | [

Arlington It is that time of year again — time to start making holiday shopping lists and time to hit the stores to find the perfect gift for family members and friends.
All the talk of the “fiscal cliff” could be daunting for local merchants as they head into their busiest season, but none of that concern was evident Saturday, Nov. 10, in the shops at Shirlington.
“We have had a good season so far. We have been very lucky at this location,” said Angela Phelps, the owner of le village Marche. Phelps, who was inspired to open the vintage home décor and gift store after a trip to Paris 10 years ago, says that she tries as much as possible to stock items made in America or France but concedes that it is not always possible.
Some popular gift ideas in the $30-$40 range according to Phelps are cheese boards with knifes, wine stoppers made from vintage doorknobs and made-in-America coaster sets with quotes. Customers can spend anywhere from | $30 to $100 depending on their budget on home decorations, scented soaps, flirty aprons, candles, calendars to name a few. Phelps says gifts cards also make a nice gift.
A few doors down, Periwinkle, a woman’s clothing boutique, also had a steady flow of customers.
“We have really awesome jewelry. Our statement necklaces and bracelets are great for gifts,” said sales associate Lauren McCarthy. Necklaces run from $58-$78 and bracelets start from $24 and go up to $78.

This is on the DVD called Power Walking System, with Power Walk 3 Miles. It is a 20 minute lower body workout with ankle weights. Leslie demonstrates each move before each set, and explains everything, which would make this excellent for a beginner. It can be intermediate, by using ankle weights (Leslie does) and by doing additional reps while Leslie is explaining the exercise.
The reps are a good pace, and she does 2 sets for each exercise. You start standing and do ham curls and leg raises. Then you go to the floor and do more ham/butt work (table work) and then finish off with outer & inner thigh raises. She varies | the raises to limit the boredom factor.

At the University of Virginia's Center for Politics, **Alan Abramowitz** [investigates](http://www.centerforpolitics.org/crystalball/articles/AIA2011051201/) the affect of racial resentment on opinions of President **Obama**.
For those unfamiliar with the concept, "racial resentment" is a political framework that fuses whites' belief in traditional conservative values (hard work equals success, for example) with negative opinions about African Americans as a group. Typically, whites who score high in racial resentment are less likely to believe that racism has had negative, long-lasting effects on African American progress, more likely to believe that blacks could easily get ahead with hard work, and more likely to view efforts to address historical discrimination | as "special favors."

A monthly index that tracks pending sales of U.S. existing homes rose to its highest level in 19 months in November, according to a report released today from the National Association of Realtors.
NAR’s Pending Home Sales Index, which is based on purchase contracts signed but not yet closed, jumped 7.3 percent from an upwardly revised 93.3 in October and 5.9 percent compared to November 2010, to 100.1. That’s the highest index score since April 2010, just before the deadline for a federal homebuyer tax credit program, when the index was at 111.5, NAR said.
The index is not affected by the trade group’s recent "rebenchmarking" of existing-home sales figures because it uses a different methodology based directly on contract signings and the index is adjusted for seasonality, the trade group said.
The index typically represents about 20 percent of all existing-home transactions. An index score of | 100 is equal to the average level of sales contract activity in 2001, which was the first year examined by the trade group and a robust year for existing-home sales.
The index rise may be partially due to delayed transactions resulting from "unusually high" contract failures, said Lawrence Yun, NAR’s chief economist, in a statement.
"Some of the increase in pending home sales appears to be from buyers recommitting after an initial contract ran into problems, often with the mortgage," Yun said.
"November is doing reasonably well in comparison with the past year. The sustained rise in contract activity suggests that closed existing-home | [

In that back country in the 1870′s money was very scarce. Just how scarce we people of this day can hardly realize. Most trade in the store was exchange of goods for farm produce – eggs, butter, poultry, hides, feathers, ginseng, yellow root, etc. In order to get some real money Father went to the county seat, Sandy Hook (then called Martinsburg), and bid in a pauper.
The county had no poor farm those days and so the county officials let the paupers out to live at the homes of whoever of responsibility made the lowest bid for the pauper’s keep. I do not remember the amount Father was to receive for keeping this pauper but it was pitifully small.
