Unacceptable Levels: New Film Links Childhood Illness to Unregulated Chemicals
Ever wonder about chemicals in your day-to-day life?
"What's in the air I breathe? The water I drink? The food I eat? Even the things I put on my skin?"
Ed Brown wondered these same things after his wife suffered two miscarriages (they now have two beautiful children). But instead of just wondering, he traveled around the country with his video camera to interview top minds in the fields of science, advocacy and law and learned there are unacceptable levels of chemicals in so many things. Including our bodies.
Brown's documentary, Unacceptable Levels, dissects the ways chemicals saturate our homes and environment amid the backdrop of a glaring lack of regulation. It chronicles the results of the post-World War II chemical boom and details common avenues of exposure, from food to fluoride to toxic sludge.
Some "unacceptable facts" from the film:
- Autism now affects one in 50 children.
- Cancer is the leading cause of death (after accidents) in children younger than 15 years in the U.S.
- In the last 20 years, the rates of asthma, allergies and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) are on the rise: 400 percent increase in allergies, 300 percent increase in asthma, 400 percent increase in ADHD.
- $2.6 trillion of the Gross Domestic Product is spent on treating disease every year.
- Approximately 200 synthetic industrial chemicals interact with our cells every single day.
Brown is touring the country this summer, which started with a premiere June 12 in Hollywood, CA, where he was joined by Mariel Hemingway, Gary Hirschberg, Christopher Gavigan and other passionate environmentalists to inspire others to take action.
Actress Jessica Capshaw Gavigan, who is also part of the Moms Clean Air Force Leadership Circle, has this to say about the film:
This film is a huge eye-opener! Once a parent sees this, they thankfully won't ever approach their child's health and future the same way ever again!

Researchers Are Creating a Drone to Study Wild Dolphins With Help From Trained Dolphins
By Jason Bruck
Human actions have taken a steep toll on whales and dolphins. Some studies estimate that small whale abundance, which includes dolphins, has fallen 87% since 1980 and thousands of whales die from rope entanglement annually. But humans also cause less obvious harm. Researchers have found changes in the stress levels, reproductive health and respiratory health of these animals, but this valuable data is extremely hard to collect.

A Lot to Learn From Hormones
When sampling the blow, we are looking for hormones in mucus as these can be used to gauge psychological and physiological health. We are specifically interested in hormones like cortisol and progesterone, which indicate stress levels and reproductive ability respectively, but can also help determine overall health.

Additionally, blow samples can detect respiratory pathogens in the lungs or nasal passages - blowholes evolved from noses after all.

This health analysis is especially important in areas with oil spills as the chemicals can cause hormonal problems that harm development, metabolism and reproduction in dolphins.

Hormone samples can provide scientists with valuable data, but collecting them from intelligent and unpredictable animals is challenging.

Cetacean Collaborators
To build a drone that can stealthily collect spray from moving dolphins, we needed more data on their eyesight and hearing, and this is data that couldn't be collected in the wild nor simulated in a lab.

We worked with dolphins at facilities like Dolphin Quest in Bermuda, which provides guests opportunities to learn about dolphins while allowing scientists access to animals for noninvasive research. Here the dolphins can swim away if they choose not to work with us, so we had to design the study like a game; the way a kindergarten teacher entertains a class. If the dolphins aren't interested, we don't get to do the science.

Over the course of hundreds of sessions, we sought to answer two questions: What can dolphins hear and what can they see around their heads?

To test dolphin hearing, we set up microphones and cameras to record dolphin behavior as we played drone noise in the air. We analyzed the responses to each noise – such as how many dolphins looked at the speaker – and used these as a proxy for their ability to hear the sounds.

To build robodolphin, we worked with dolphins trained to "chuff" or sneeze on command to measure spray characteristics. We used high-speed photography to see the dolphins' breath as it moved through the air. Then we conducted high resolution CT scans of a dolphin head and 3D-printed a replica of a nasal passage.

Now, we have a complete robodolphin and are tweaking its sprays to be nearly identical to the real thing. This will allow us to determine how close we need to get to collect the samples, and therefore, how quiet our drone needs to be.

The replica dolphin blowhole was designed from a scan of a real blowhole passage, and the spray it produces closely matches the real thing. Alvin Ngo, Mitch Ford and CJ Barton / Oklahoma State University / CC BY-ND
A Bit of Practice, Then Into the Wild
In the next few months, we will test flights over robodolphin with existing drones to determine the timing and strategy for collection. From there, we will fabricate a low-noise drone that can fly fast enough and with sufficient maneuverability to capture samples from wild dolphins. Like a video game, we will use the visual field data to develop approach trajectories to stay in the visual blindspots.

We plan to test our drones on a truck-mounted robodolphin moving down a runway, then using a boat to simulate realistic conditions. The next steps will involve ocean testing with dolphins trained for open ocean swimming. These tests will determine if our devices can catch and hold the hormones as the drone flies back to a researcher's boat.

Finally, we will deploy the system to collect data on wild dolphins. Our first goal is to test resident dolphins – animals that live on the coasts and deal directly with boat and oil industry noise – which will allow us to learn more about stress resulting from human impacts.

Those samples are a way off, but if all goes well we will have a specially built drone capable of flying long distances and capturing samples undetected in a few years. The samples collected will allow researchers to do better science with impact on the animals they study.

Fireworks have taken a lot of heat recently. In South Dakota, fire experts have said President Trump's plan to hold a fireworks show is dangerous and public health experts have criticized the lack of plans to enforce mask wearing or social distancing. Now, a new study shows that shooting off fireworks at home may expose you and your family to dangerous levels of lead, copper and other toxins.

Billions worth of valuable metals such as gold, silver and copper were dumped or burned last year as electronic waste produced globally jumped to a record 53.6 million tons (Mt), or 7.3 kilogram per person, a UN report showed on Thursday.
Environmental and Health Hazard
Experts say e-waste, which is now the world's fastest-growing domestic waste stream, poses serious environmental and health risks.

Simply throwing away electronic items without ensuring they get properly recycled leads to the loss of key materials such as iron, copper and gold, which can otherwise be recovered and used as primary raw materials to make new equipment, thereby reducing greenhouse gas emissions from extraction and refinement of raw materials.

Refrigerants found in electronic equipment such as fridge and air conditioners also contribute to global warming. A total of 98 Mt of CO2-equivalents, or about 0.3% of global energy-related emissions, were released into the atmosphere in 2019 from discarded refrigerators and ACs that were not recycled properly, the report said.

E-waste contains several toxic additives or hazardous substances, such as mercury and brominated flame retardants (BFR), and simply burning it or throwing it away could lead to serious health issues. Several studies have linked unregulated recycling of e-waste to adverse birth outcomes like stillbirth and premature birth, damages to the human brain or nervous system and in some cases hearing loss and heart troubles.

"Informal and improper e-waste recycling is a major emerging hazard silently affecting our health and that of future generations. One in four children are dying from avoidable environmental exposures," said Maria Neira, director of the Environment, Climate Change and Health Department at the World Health Organization. "One in four children could be saved, if we take action to protect their health and ensure a safe environment."

Europe Leads the Way
While most of the e-waste was generated in Asia (24.9 Mt) in 2019, Europe led the charts on a per person basis with 16.2 kg per capita, the report said.

But the continent also recorded the highest documented formal e-waste collection and recycling rate at 42.5%, still below its target of 65%. Europe was well ahead of the others on this front. Asia ranked second with 11.7%.

The authors said while more that 70% of the world's population was covered by some form of e-waste policy or laws, not much was being done toward implementation and enforcement of the regulations to encourage the take-up of a collection and recycling infrastructure due to lack of investment and political motivation.

"You have to think about new economic systems," said Kühr.

One approach could be that consumers no longer buy the products, but only the service they offer. The device would remain the property of the maker, who would then have an interest in offering his customers the best service and the necessary equipment. The maker would also be interested in designing his products in such a way that they are easier to repair and easier to recycle, Kühr said.

World's Largest Aquarium Opens in Singapore
- By : Admin
- Category : Animal News
- Tags: Georgia Aquarium, Resorts World Sentosa, RWS, world largest oceanarium, World's Largest Aquarium
ABC News – Mon, Dec 3, 2012
Fans of marine life, time to plan a trip to Singapore.
A new aquarium – which claims to be the world's largest – opened in late November on the resort island of Sentosa.
It is called the S.E.A. Aquarium, and it is home to 100,000 marine animals of over 800 species in 45 million liters – almost 12 million gallons – of water. Comprising 10 different zones with 49 habitats, the aquarium aims to take visitors on an underwater voyage beginning from Southeast Asia, and continuing through the Arabian Gulf and the open ocean.
The Open Ocean habitat is viewed through the world's largest viewing panel. It is 36 meters wide and 8.3 meters tall, or about 118 by 27 feet.
Aquarium admission is about $24 for an adult.
"S.E.A. Aquarium offers not only a stunning display of habitats, but also education and conservation programs in which families and guests can participate," S.E.A. Aquarium Senior Curator Grant Willis said in a news release. "Younger guests will be thrilled to know that we have specially-designed exhibits such as the Discovery Touch Pool, the Lens Aquarium and Floor Aquarium, to provide them up-close encounters with our marine residents."
Atlanta's Georgia Aquarium, which opened in 2005, has also claimed to be the world's largest, with "more than 10 million gallons of water," according to its website. The Georgia Aquarium was the result of a $250 million gift to the city of Atlanta from Bernie Marcus, co-founder of The Home Depot.
The same day the Singapore aquarium opened, the resort also opened the Adventure Cove Waterpark, with six water slides including a water coaster, a wave pool and a lazy river. There are also opportunities for interaction with marine life. Rainbow Reef offers snorkeling with fish and swimming with sting rays. Dolphin and shark interactions are coming next year.

Title Insurance Issue Arising From 2-Year Old Rhode Island Law Leads To Logjam For Banksters Looking To Unload Previously Foreclosed Homes
In Providence, Rhode Island, Providence Business News reports:
- As lenders across the country struggle to sort out confused, sloppy or abusive foreclosure practices, a 2-year-old state mortgage-counseling law in Rhode Island has turned into a stumbling block for many banks trying to move distressed properties off their books.
Mortgage bankers and real estate attorneys across the state say pending sales of homes that went through foreclosure are being stopped by concerns that the counseling requirement has not been satisfied and the title to the property might not be good.
The concerns have prompted title-insurance companies, which investigate land records and write one-time policies guaranteeing clean title, to deny insurance for many previously foreclosed properties.
"It is creating a huge backlog of files of houses that are sitting there in foreclosure status, empty, vacant and not being sold or moved off the inventory of lending institutions," said attorney James Caruolo, who practices real estate law in Warwick. "This leads to problems with the condition of the homes and unpaid taxes. It ends up hurting the city and neighbors because you are not moving it on to a new buyer."
The volume and extent of title issues connected with the Rhode Island foreclosure mortgage-counseling law is difficult to estimate. There is no central clearinghouse for pending foreclosure sales or properties caught in legal limbo because of title problems.
Caruolo said he has been personally involved with a couple of sales that have been held up over the past two months.
"The statute is a mistake and a disaster. … It has not saved any homeowners from losing their homes," said Joseph Vitullo, underwriting counsel for Stewart Guaranty Title Company in Warwick, who added that the law had been copied badly from federal foreclosure law. "It is so poorly drafted that title companies are erroneously reading many requirements into the statute that have no basis in the law. The result is that hundreds of titles have been rendered unmarketable."

Minnesota's early offense good enough to beat O's
Baltimore falls to 22-15 on season
Ryan Doumit homered, Joe Mauer and Justin Morneau each had three hits, and the Minnesota Twins beat the Baltimore Orioles 8-5 Saturday night.
Vance Worley (1-4) struggled through 5 1/3 innings, but a strong performance by Minnesota's bullpen enabled him to earn his first win in 13 starts dating to Aug. 1, 2012.
Matt Wieters connected for the Orioles, who lost for just the second time in seven games.
Up 6-5 in the sixth, Doumit hit his third homer of the season, a two-run shot into the second deck in left field to give Minnesota a little breathing room at 8-5.
Jared Burton earned his first save in two chances for the Twins.
Making his season debut for Baltimore, starter Steve Johnson (0-1) allowed seven hits and six earned runs while striking out three in four innings.

A few weeks ago, I spontaneously went to Disney World with my sisters Courtney and Imani. I say spontaneously because while some of you spend months and years planning a trip to Disney, it only took me like…an hour. Crazy, uh? Living in one of the tourist capitals of the world has its benefits. I didn't take too many pictures because I was too busy acting like a child but we had so much fun.
Courtney has watched one too many episodes of America's Next Top Model. Haaaa!
I look at my youngest sister Imani and I'm like…how in the world did she grow up so fast? How is she in 7th grade already?
They forced me to take these pictures.
*squeals* Walking through this part of Magic Kingdom brings back so many memories.
I swear I could stare at this castle allllll day.
Splash Mountain. The ride that I used to love but will probably throw up my guts if I got on now.
Don't laugh. This ride is the best.
More pretty pictures of the castle…
You haven't seen a crowd until you've seen one at Disney World.
It's madness. But a blissful madness. I hope to take another trip this year with Mama Clumps. I haven't been to Disney World with my Mommy since….I can't even remember when. Plus, if I take her, she'll pay for everything. 8) I kid, I kid.
A little….

Despite being a devoted fan of Neil Gaiman's printed works, I somehow didn't get the chance to see Coraline in the theaters, due to various life interferences. However, I was thrilled with delight when I received a copy in the mail the other day... complete with a little promotional mobile (it went right next to the one that I had from the Stardust graphic novel).
I wanted to watch the film in its 3D format, as all of my friends had raved about how cool the stop-motion looked, but I ended up feeling like a fat kid from a Kevin Smith movie staring at a Magic Eye poster and never getting to see the sailboat.
I didn't get to see Coraline's vivid blue hair, and the colors all seemed so muted. In fairness, the moments that were supposed to pop in 3D, did actually pop, but it made the rest of the viewing experience frustrating. Now, I realize that the little title screen before the movie advises that you watch in a completely dark room, and perhaps that would have helped matters, but it means that I can only ever watch the movie late at night, instead of during the day because I've got big windows.
Once my frustration level reached a high, I flipped the disc to the 2D side and just watched it for the film it was. And I loved it. It's charming and adorable and completely captivating and actually made me not hate Teri Hatcher as much as I normally do. She really sold the creepy Other Mother. Who hasn't dreamed of swapping lives with someone, only to find out it isn't all roses?
While the story deviated a bit from the novel and added some characters, I still enjoyed the heck out of it. Enough to even give the 3D another try... as soon as it is late at night, and I move my TV to my windowless basement.

Pricing and Cost Advice
Costs savings have been seen by employing bots for multiple shifts instead of people.
If we talk about the automation RPA. it definitely has worked very well for us. I'm talking about giving good savings, about more than 180 FTE savings, after implementing more than 200 plus bots. It has worked well. As an organization, it has supported us very well, and also for our customers.
It saves on the quality of work, because the quality can be bad when somebody's doing it. If a bot does the work, it's faster and comes with good quality. These are two important things along with the cost saving in the long run. That's where the value is.
We have seen ROI on one of the process, but not on the other processes yet.
The licensing cost is approximately $4,000 USD, which is a seed license.
The certifications are free of cost.
There are a lot of savings in terms of effort and time as well as costs. Automation Anywhere automates a lot of processes. It allows an organization to save the efforts of a lot people. It saves a lot of time because people can't work a whole day (24/7), but Automation Anywhere bots can.
We are interested in saving manual engineer man-hours. So far, we have saved $100,000.

I did the initial visit, reviewed why she felt she needed a breast reduction, did the exam, took measurements and photos, and then after she left sent a letter with documentation (photos, etc) for the precertification.
She received the letter (copied to my office) below which states that she meets her insurance requirements for the surgery. It then clearly states "If Dr Ramona Bates performs the surgery it will not be eligible for reimbursement."
She called to schedule the surgery for early September. I called her back and reminded her that if I did the surgery her insurance would not cover it (not the surgeon, not the surgery center, not the anesthesia, none of it).
"Would you still like me to do your surgery or would you like me to try to find someone in your network?"
"Well, I would really like to have my surgery in September. Do you think you could get me in to see someone soon enough that I could have it done then?"
"I'll try, but I can't guarantee that you might not have to consider a different time for the surgery."
So I called Dr PS1. He is in her network, but can't see her for the initial office visit until September and probably can't get the surgery scheduled until November or December.
Tried Dr PS2. This one, like my office doesn't participate in her insurance network.
Tried Dr PS3 and hit the jackpot for her! They can see her in a week and most likely get her scheduled (since the precert is already done) in early September.
I then called her back and told her the news. "Thank you Dr Bates. I don't know how I can ever really thank you."

Fascinating facts about the Red Fox
Few native species divide opinion as deeply as the red fox. Despite being voted the third most popular British mammal in a recent BBC Wildlife survey, foxes still face widespread demonisation and persecution. A better understanding of fox ecology and behaviour – and the essential ecological role they play – can help dispel the myths and misconceptions about this iconic British species. The red fox (Vulpes vulpes) is the most widely distributed wild carnivore on the planet. It naturally occurs across North America, Eurasia and Japan, and even as far north as the Arctic Circle. It has also been deliberately introduced (and thrived) in other regions such as Australia by English colonisers for the purpose of foxhunting. This widespread global success is due to the fox's incredible adaptability
living in habitats as diverse as tundra, forests, deserts, wetlands and cities, and eating a huge variety of food types.
Foxes are omnivores and will eat pretty much anything - from rabbits, field voles and berries, to earthworms, insects, and fruit. In cities, they take advantage of human handouts, compost heaps, bird tables and unsecured dustbins, as well as preying on rats. However, foxes don't waste food. If they find or kill more than they can eat at one sitting, they bury (cache) the food to eat later. This noble trait is responsible for the myth that foxes 'kill for pleasure'. When confronted with a flock of hens, foxes will kill as many as possible with the intention of burying those they can't eat straight away and storing them for leaner times.
Foxes are members of the canidae family, the same family as wolves and domestic dogs. Like all canids, their hearing and sense of smell are much better than ours. They can hear a watch ticking 120 feet (36 metres) away and smell food that has been sealed in a bag or buried underground. But like most mammals outside of the primates, foxes have limited colour vision due to a lower number of color-perceiving cone cells in their eyes. They are essentially red-green colour blind, meaning they see objects that we perceive as red or green as a shade of brown or grey instead. By contrast foxes – like dogs and wolves – see better than we do in low light conditions due to a higher concentration of light-sensitive rod cells in their eyes.
The red fox varies in size and colour across its wide geographic range. In Britain, the average fox is only slightly bigger than a pet cat. They are far too small to tip over a dustbin full of rubbish as is often claimed. To scavenge from bins they jump on top and knock the lid off. This is easily prevented by using bins with locking lids or securing the lid with a bungee cord.
Foxes sleep and breed in holes called earths. Sometimes they dig the hole themselves, but they also use old badger setts, hollow trees, and spaces under garden sheds. Although captive foxes can live for up to 14 years, similar to domestic dogs, wild foxes rarely live more than a few years. Cars are the biggest killer of foxes in Britain.
A female fox is called a vixen; a male is called a dog. They mate in mid-winter and vixens give birth between March and May. The 4-5 cubs are born deaf and blind with short black fur and blue eyes. They do not leave the den for several weeks and are dependent on their mother's body for warmth and their father to provide food for the family. Male foxes are attentive dads, playing excitedly with their pups and bringing food home for the whole family.When it's time for the young foxes to start finding their own food, the dad hides food nearby, helping teach the cubs to sniff out a meal. Most cubs leave their parents in early autumn to search for their own territory. Few are successful and most die before reaching 10 months old.
The dominant male and female fox form a pair that often lasts for life. Although they hunt and feed separately, they regularly meet to groom each other and play. Some young foxes also stay with their parents for a few years and help raise future cubs. Like all families, communication is essential to foxes. They use at least 28 different types of calls to communicate with each other as well as facial expressions and body posture similar to domestic dogs, like wagging their tail when they greet family members.
Breeding foxes hold territories year-round. By marking their territory boundaries with urine and faeces, foxes learn the smells of their nearest neighbours. When two neighbours meet, the encounters are usually peaceful. When strangers meet, the encounters can be more aggressive.
There are always more foxes around than suitable breeding territories so some foxes, particularly young ones who are dispersing from their parents' territory, spend their time on the move looking for a vacant territory to occupy. This is why trying to reduce fox numbers by killing them is pointless. A dead animal simply leaves an empty territory that is filled by a new fox within 3-4 days, Most local authorities recognised this years ago and abandoned ineffective and costly lethal fox control. Instead, most now provide free advice on deterring or excluding foxes from properties as this is the only long-term solution to human/wildlife conflict.
Annual surveys show that rural fox numbers have remained stable at around 225,000 adults for the past decade. This is good news for farmers - by feeding on rabbits, the staple diet of rural foxes, they save British crop farmers between £7-9 million every year. In its lifetime, one fox is worth up to £900 in extra revenue to arable farmers. Foxes also help woodlands grow by feeding on field voles and rabbits, the species that do the most damage in young plantations, foxes help reduce economic losses to forestry, yet foxes continue to be used as scapegoats by some livestock farmers. This is clearly unjustified. According to Defra, 95% of lamb losses are due to poor farming practices, with confirmed losses to foxes less than 1%.
Urban fox numbers are holding steady at 33,000, although bad human habits may be causing an increase in fox boldness. In an increasingly urbanised world, adaptable species like foxes provide an important connection to nature for many people. A survey in Bristol revealed that 10% of residents regularly feed foxes even though each fox territory had at least 150 times more food available than is needed by each fox. In other words, people feed foxes for their own benefit, for the pleasure they get out of seeing and interacting with this beautiful animal, not to help the foxes survive. As the natural world disappears before our very eyes, versatile and adaptable species like foxes provide the only encounters with wildlife that many people get.

Posts Tagged 'overtraining'
Gymnasts don't use reps, sets and 3 days a week routines
I'm all for knowing a lot of the science behind getting the most from your training, but it's not the most important factor.
The most important factor is just training, a LOT. If you do that you'll know what works for you and why anyway. Then you can start to read a few books and educate yourself. You can try things out and see how it goes for you.
When you are starting though you just need to get going, try just about anything. See what effect it has.
When gymnasts train they just do the moves, and do them for hours everyday.
Trainers nowadays are chronically afraid of overtraining, but that's often due to doing ridiculous things that you know you shouldn't be doing anyway.
It's hard to overtrain using bodyweight exercises, and that's not to say they don't get to extremely high resistance, because they do with using one arm or difficult leverage points like handstand push ups etc. The more natural the training the better because involving all the smaller muscles, skill, coordination and balance engages the brain more, which hugely improves results and also recovery. Static contractions, kettlebells, bodyweight exercise, some weights exercises and playing sport are 'natural training'. The body is amazing at adapting to hard and regular training after a few weeks, especially if it is a sport or natural types of training.
If you just commit to training everyday or almost everyday, over time, you'll work out how much and how hard to train.
You can also read up on sets and reps and try things out.
My point here is that a lot of people are getting caught up in the how and forgetting the main factor is to keep taking action. The person who just keeps doing the training and improving his/her strength (even if they do it 'wrong') will end up getting way better results than the person who does all the reps and sets to a tee, but doesn't push hard enough to improve regularly and turns up sporadically.
Those fellas that exercise on the monkey bars just go and train every day or every second day and do the best they can. They aim to get better, and do so regularly. They usually are training 6-12 months before they show any interest in the science of it, if they ever do. Either way, they end up with amazing strength, athleticism and ripped muscular physiques.
So I'm going to break down for you what is really important: Train a lot, train as naturally as possible and aim to improve at it regularly. That's it.
The rest of it is just fine tuning.

It was just a ribbon-cutting for a playground, the kind of ceremony that happens so often under Mayor Thomas M. Menino that it usually passes without notice. But on Monday, the mayor choked back tears as he marked not only the beginning of a new public space, but the end of an era.
The election Tuesday will usher into power Councilor at Large John R. Connolly or state Representative Martin J. Walsh, both of whom have subtly promised a break from Menino's rule, by emphasizing a more participatory style of governance or a bolder policy vision.
A new City Council will also be elected, and in East Boston voters will decide whether to host a casino, a development that would forever alter the historic immigrant neighborhood. Revere voters will also cast ballots on the casino.
Both Connolly and Walsh spent the last full day of the race dashing from neighborhood to neighborhood in a furious sprint to lock up as many votes as possible before the polls open.
Connolly sharpened his argument that Walsh will struggle to be an independent broker after receiving so much financial and field support from labor unions. Walsh, who has opened an edge in the polls, avoided directly confronting his rival, promising instead to be attentive to the needs of residents throughout the city.
Both candidates have stepped gingerly around the mayor's legacy, praising his personal connection with voters, while making it clear they would put their own imprint on the city. Connolly promises a more determined focus on improving schools. Walsh speaks of a less autocratic style of leadership.
"I certainly want to know what's going on in the city, and I will as mayor," Walsh said Monday. "But I also think that we're going to hire people in Cabinet and management positions, that I'm going to put faith in them and trust in them, that they're going to do a good job."
As the candidates hopscotched across the city talking about the future of Boston, a wistful, almost somber Menino reflected on his two-decade reign in City Hall.
Head bowed and clutching a cane, Menino become emotional at the naming of a playground in his honor at Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital in Charlestown, where he spent several weeks recovering from a battery of ailments last year.
"It's just a tough day, a tough day," he said after the unveiling of Mayor Thomas M. Menino Park.
But if the mayor was struggling on the eve of the election, the candidates worked to project a sense of confidence.
"We've been working hard every day of this campaign," Connolly said at the Forest Hills MBTA Station in Jamaica Plain, where he greeted commuters at 7:20 a.m. "And we're going to win tomorrow."
Still, he conceded: "This thing is a jump-ball. Every last voter interaction counts."
Connolly also made stops at a senior center in Mattapan, a Whole Foods in Jamaica Plain, and a shopping plaza in Roxbury, where he gave an impromptu stump speech in a McDonald's before grabbing a burger and coffee.
When he arrived at the Forest Hills T stop, however, he ran into a group of about 10 Walsh supporters holding signs at every door, a reminder of the large field organization Walsh commands. So Connolly staked out a spot near the entrance, where he extended his hand to riders as they paid their fare.
"How're you doing, John!" said one man, who quickly shook the candidate's hand as he jogged to catch a train. "You know you've got my vote tomorrow!"
Connolly ended his final day on the trail, in friendly territory, greeting evening shoppers at Roche Bros. in West Roxbury, where he lives.
Through the day, Connolly's message stayed consistent: His opponent, he said, is a good man whose hands are tied because of the heavy outside spending by labor groups. Connolly's campaign amplified that attack, blasting out an e-mail with the subject line, "Boston's not for sale!"
Walsh rejected Connolly's argument that his campaign is being fueled by a flood of outside support from unions.
"These thousands of volunteers that are supposedly being shipped in from all over the country, I haven't seen them, and they're not coming in," Walsh said. "The people on the ground are my campaign, and we have volunteers from all over the city of Boston."
He made stops at an elderly housing complex in Roxbury and a strip of shops on Adams Street in Dorchester, the neighborhood where he has lived his entire life.
"This is as home turf as I can get," he said with a laugh in Greenhills Irish Bakery, as a plate of Irish soda bread was passed around the shop.
Walsh ended the evening standing speaking to a packed audience at the Strand Theatre in Dorchester. He was joined by a host of public figures who have endorsed him, as well as by Terry O'Sullivan, who is the general president of the Laborers International Union of North America. Walsh is president of Laborers 223, a chapter of that union.
During a stop at Holgate Apartments in Roxbury, Walsh said he had spoken to Menino by phone on Monday, and had asked him for his vote. But Menino was noncommittal, he said, instead just wishing him luck and telling him he "ran a great campaign."
Connolly said Monday that he speaks to the mayor often, but has not formally asked him for his vote. Nevertheless, when he was asked by reporters if he thinks Menino will be voting for him on Tuesday, Connolly smirked and said he would love the mayor's vote.
But Menino has carefully avoided wading into the race to replace him. He has not said whether he will vote Tuesday for Connolly or Walsh. The choice of a new mayor, he said, is not his to influence.
"The case has been made," he said. "Now, it's the voters' turn."

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas is allowing Hamas to hold a festival in commemoration of its 25th anniversary, showing a clearer willingness by Fatah to collaborate with Hamas, Israel National News reported, citing the Bethlehem-based Ma'an news agency.
The festival will take place in the city of Nablus in Samaria next Thursday under the slogan of "statehood and victory." This collaboration is a break from the ongoing dispute between Fatah and Hamas. In the wake of the UN's decision to grant "Palestine" the status of a non-member state, Abbas is expected to use the renewed partnership between Fatah and Hamas to show that the Palestinian Authority can lead a unified country.
However, Hamas continues to officially declare its aim of destroying Israel. This is contrary to Fatah's stated goal of negotiating with Israel on borders and the status of Jerusalem, although Abbas has also said that any negotiations with Israel must be based on Israel's acceptance of Fatah's territorial and political demands.

BELMONT � Crest High knew it had won at least a share of the Big South 3A Conference girls title before Friday�s regular season finale at South Point.
But with the school printing championship T-shirts, an outright title sure felt better than a shared title.
And Crest was able to wear those shirts with pride after using defense to roll to a 57-31 win to ruin the Red Raiders� �Senior Night.�
�I was scared to death,� first-year Crest coach Shane Compton said of his pregame preparations. �We�d worked so hard to get here and we wanted to make sure we won it. Anytime you have to go on the road, it�s tough.�
Crest did so handily behind a defense that forced South Point into 37 turnovers, 41 missed shots and 19.6 percent shooting. It was the same Red Raiders� team that had beaten perennial power Forestview in their last home league game to open the door for Crest to take its outright title.
The Lady Chargers (17-3, 11-1) won their first league championship since 1997 and finished ahead of Forestview (17-6, 10-2) and South Point (18-4, 8-4) at the top of the league standings. Crest�s lone league loss came at Forestview late last month.
Crest�s title was its ninth girls basketball championship in the school�s 46-year history; The Lady Chargers previously won the 1982 Western N.C. 3A title, league regular season championships in 1988, 1991, 1993 and 1997 and conference tournament titles in 1984, 1987 and 1993.
�Give the girls credit,� said Compton, hired away from Southern Lee High last spring. �They played hard and played as a team.�
Sophomores Adiyah Ussery (20 points) and Caleia Jones (12) led an offense that got scoring from 11 of its 12 players.
But it was a team effort that limited South Point�s offense and Red Raiders� senior guard point guard Ashley Mull in particular.
�Number 10 (Mull) is as good a player as there is in this league,� Compton said. �We came into this game wanting to make sure she didn�t beat us.�
An 18.2 points per game scorer entering the contest, Mull finished with six points and didn�t score until early in the second half.
Haley Stewart led South Point with nine points.
Crest scored the game�s first six points, holding South Point scoreless for 3 1-2 minutes, and never trailed in the contest.
The Lady Chargers led 14-8 after one quarter, 28-15 at the half, 46-22 after three quarter and by a game-high 31 points three times in the fourth quarter before taking the 26-point victory.
�We had a great crowd and a great effort tonight,� said Compton, whose team next hosts the Big South 3A Conference tournament semifinals on Wednesday.
Crest boys 88, South Point 75 � The Chargers (12-8, 8-4) put a cap on a third-place season by holding off the comeback-minded Red Raiders (5-16, 4-8) in a game that will be repeated Monday night at Crest.
�South Point�s a scrappy team,� said Chargers coach George Hall, whose team will host the Red Raiders on Monday in an opening round Big South 3A Conference tournament game. �They didn�t quit, even when it was 20 points.�
South Point cut a 21-point lead at 61-40 late in the third quarter to seven at 69-62 with 3:03 to play before Damarcus Smith and Jerick Haynes made big plays down the stretch to kept Crest comfortably ahead.
�He (Smith) really came through for us there,� Hall said. �And Jerick always seems to play well.�
Haynes finished with a game-high 23 points, with Smith adding 16 and Andrew Bowen 11. For South Point, Dan Johnson had 19 points, Deonte Gaston 14 and Brandon Reeves nine.

If it has Illini and "Rose Bowl" written on it, it probably won't be on the store shelf long enough to collect any dust.
If it has Illini and "Rose Bowl" written on it, it probably won't be on the store shelf long enough to collect any dust.
Springfield area retailers report that ever since news broke earlier this month that the Fighting Illini were headed to the 2008 Rose Bowl, U of I sports paraphernalia has become very popular. Some of the best-selling items are special edition shirts, jackets and pennants that commemorate the Illini's Jan. 1 Rose Bowl appearance.
"The Rose Bowl stuff doesn't last long. I would say that within two or three days of receiving it, it's gone," said Mike Brennan, a manager at Pro Image at White Oaks Mall.
The Fighting Illini have not played in the Rose Bowl since 1984 when they lost to UCLA. News that they would be playing USC in the 2008 Rose Bowl was announced Dec. 2, which was a Sunday. On Tuesday morning, Pro Image received its first shipment of Illini Rose Bowl items.
"Since then, we've had two or three big shipments, and it's just gone," Brennan said Wednesday. "We have a few sizes left – the smalls and mediums. We are going to try to get one more run in before the end of week."
Over at MC Sports, 2385 S. MacArthur Boulevard, it's a similar story. That store received its first shipment of Illini Rose Bowl gear about the same time as Pro Image, and it started selling immediately.
"They were selling as soon as we opened the box. People were waiting for them," said Steve Tisckos, a manager at MC Sports.
Most Rose Bowl items still in the store are in youth sizes, Tisckos said.
In addition to clothes, Pro Image also sells other Illini Rose Bowl items, such as Christmas ornaments, beer glasses pennants and stickers.
Like the clothes, they have gone fast.
"I know we are out of the pennants and ornaments completely," Brennan said.
Enthusiasm for the Illini isn't limited to Springfield.
Tim Davis, president of Suzy Davis Travel, has arranged a special charter flight to California with the Illini Quarterback Club. The flight, which is completely booked, will fly out of Springfield's Abraham Lincoln Capital Airport Saturday, Dec. 29.
The group has chartered a Boeing 767 wide-bodied commercial airliner and will fly about 250 people out to the game. The flight into Los Angeles will take about four hours.
"We sold out basically in a week or less. Probably four days," Davis said from his Bloomington office.
Most of those taking the flight are from the Champaign or Rantoul areas, but others are from Decatur, Springfield and elsewhere. All are members or honorary members of the Quarterback Club, Davis said.
John Reynolds can be reached at (217) 788-1524 or email@example.com.

First military draft of the Second World War
On July 13, 1940, the Canadian government announced the first conscription of the Second World War for 40 days' compulsory military training on or before September 15 by the first draft under the National Mobilization Bill.
The National Mobilization Bill arose because of the stunning German victories in Belgium and France, and we felt, that as a nation, we should get ready to repel the German Forces, if they ever decided to invade out shores. The act enabled the government to requisition the property and services of Canadians for home defence.
Single men between 21 and 34 would be called up first for training. This would affect approximately 800,000 Canadians.
It was modified in August 1942 to permit the government to send conscripts overseas via an order in council after a plebiscite in April 1942. In 1944, the government passed such an order.
To read about the National Mobilization Bill in the newspapers of the day, go to www.warmuseum.ca/cwm/exhibitions/newspapers/canadawar/conscription_e.shtml
The individual forms are available but they cannot be released until the person has been dead for 20 years. It will cost $40.00 to get access to the record. You also need a death certificate, or an obituary notice can be accepted.
You can send inquiries to Census Pension Searches Unit, Census Operation Division, Statistics Canada, B1E-34 Jean Talon Bldg, Tunney's Pasture, Ottawa, ON K1A 0T6

"Has anyone else noticed that artnet.com has been down for most of the last few days? If anyone knows why, please email me. It's one of my favorite art sites. Before artnet went down, its bookstore had evaporated. This was also a pity because it was easily the best art bookstore on the web."
followed by a later update -
"UPDATE: ModernArtNotes asks, we get answers! Posted at artnet.com today: Due to the recent tragedy in New York, we are currently having technical difficulties."
Bummer Update 9/22/2005: Those old Tyler posts originally had a comments option. He's turned it off since I linked to it. UPDATE #2: Now they are back on again! I think it might be a blogger glitch, not Tyler after all.

Sweet Potato Crumble
Our family Thanksgiving meal has almost always included a sweet potato casserole or "soufflé" with a flavor closely resembling the pumpkin pies we enjoy for dessert. Serving two nearly identical dishes on the holiday table didn't make sense to me so I came up with a pared-down version that my family likes even better.
My Sweet Potato Crumble isn't as overly rich and sweet as the original, but the brown sugar-pecan topping my family loves is still present. The dish is so quick and delicious that we enjoy it for more than Thanksgiving, serving it alongside ham at our Easter dinner and taking the dish to covered dish dinners as well.
Makes 6 to 8 servings.

You can integrate your USB devices into a network easily and comfortably using the AK-DinRail-USB. This server allows up to four USB devices to be available anywhere so they can be used with different PCs. It is possible to integrate and control USB devices such as faxes, cameras, scanners, webcams, printers, hard drives, sign pads, barcode readers, RFID readers, USB sticks, measuring devices, sensors, industrial machines anything with a USB connection. A driver is installed on each PC which creates a virtual USB interface to the USB devices. The AK-DinRail-USB can be mounted on a 35mm top hat / DIN rail EN 60715 (50022). It has a width of only 22.5 mm.
The AK-DinRail-USB functionally is the same as the AK-RailPort-USB; it just has a different form. This DinRail series has a slim profile, putting the connections one behind the other to take up minimal rail space. The RailPort series has a more traditional profile, putting the connections side by side along the rail. Unlike the DinRail series, the RailPort series does not have a cover over the Reset and Default and buttons.

Sheryl Crow Reveals Her Crush On Justin Timberlake And Says 'I Would Love To Have 12 Kids!'
Although the singer already lives a "chaotic" life raising her two sons on the road, she would love to have more children!
Sheryl Crow, 48, is a single mommy to her two adopted sons, Wyatt, 3, and Levi, 6 months, but she would have a dozen little ones running around her tour bus if she could! "I would love to have 12 kids, but I'm getting up there in age," Sheryl told the ladies on The View today (Dec. 1). "My mom had four [kids] and she had no help but two kids for me is chaotic. It's crazy." What makes her daily routine even crazier is that she's performing in 41 cities all over the world and taking care of her boys as well! Whoa, that requires a lot of energy! "It's a traveling circus," Sheryl says of her tour. "Our bus is all diapers and toys and books."
Sheryl's son Wyatt loves Lady Gaga — but she doesn't!
All this chaos might be easier to handle if Sheryl had a man in her life to help balance the load. And move over, Jessica Biel! It sounds like she has a cougar crush on Justin Timberlake! She sang a duet with the 29-year-old on her latest album, 100 Miles From Memphis (they covered Terence Trent D'Arby's "Sign Your Name"). "[Justin's] from Memphis and said he wanted to do backup on it," Sheryl says. "In my business you don't have to grow older. You're kind of in an arrested state of maturity. I thought, 'Wow, he is darling, we would get along great,' but then I realized I'm old enough to be his mom."
Well, maybe Justin is a little young, but look at Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher! Sheryl and Justin could make such beautiful music together!

A while back Matt R. (I think) made a suggestion that we might want to try doing a Thanksgiving beer pairing, complete with courses and beers to match each. We all agreed that that sounded like a good idea, and we laid out a menu of traditional Thanksgiving foods - carrot ginger soup, turkey, sweet potato pie, sweet potato casserole, cranberry relish, cranberry sauce, stuffing, green beer casserole, corn casserole, rolls, pumpkin pie..
One thing I learned from the Turtle/Rabbit/Squirrel beer paring was to not overdo it - but a full cast of Knights (short Jim - who is a Jewish Vegetarian Lawyer (and those people are weird)) meant that if anything, there would be more than enough beer.
Because coordinating a write-up between a cast of nine is usually a trainwreck, I laid down one rule: No one leaves until we're gotten everything written up. While doling out responsibilities, the question was asked: "Are we reviewing the parings? The beer? The spirit of Thanksgiving?" "Yes, Rod, we're reviewing the spirit of Thanksgiving." What follows is out of order in more ways than one. And so..
The Spirit of Thanksgiving
Once every year, the ghost of Jesus rises from the dead to feast on the souls of the living. Every year we survive this atrocity, we celebrate our safety for another year through the holiday of Thanksgiving.
Back to Mike: When we decided to do a Thanksgiving pairing, I immediately turned to Garrett Oliver's The Brewmaster's Table for turkey pairings, and came across two full paragraphs expounding upon the virtues of Biere de Garde and Thanksgiving foods. A sample:
The French have yet to discover this food match, so let me be the one to tell you - biere de garde is brilliant with turkey. And not just with turkey - it is also brilliant with the turnips, the stuffing, the cranberry sauce, the potatoes, the whole darned thing.That's a fairly convincing argument, right?
Schlafly Biere de Garde
We probably served this beer a little too cold to start. The bottle specifically says cellar temperature ("51-55 degrees F") and we served it straight out of the fridge. Later samples definitely showed a bit more fruitiness. Not that that necessarily would have helped with the Thanksgiving meal pairings.
As for specific pairings, I thought the beer went particularly well with the green bean casserole. It was more of a contrasting pairing as opposed to a complimentary pairing. The fruitiness was interesting counterpoint to a dish full of green beans and mushrooms, though the caramelized onions linked up perfectly with the caramel malt flavors in the beer.

Troegenator Doublebock - Troegs Craft Brewery
The nose starts out with a bit of a raisin sourness with chocolate and caramel toffee notes. It has a nice dark caramel color that resembles caramel ice cream topping. Taking a sip of this 8.2% ABV brew is a bit misleading as it warms the palate and tends to meander through the malt sweetness. As it warms to room temperature you tend to taste the lightly toasted caramel malt and it balances out. For being a fairly boozy brew, this has a great balance to misrepresent the ABV.
In regard to our Thanksgiving pairings, this worked really well with the sweet potato pie. It brought out the maple syrup notes and complimented the toasted pecans on the top. There is a great pairing with the oyster stuffing with bits of salty mushrooms and the malty sweetness of the beer. Overall, this works quite well with the majority of dishes for the Thanksgiving meal.

Dogfish Head Palo Santo Marron
This is supposed to be a brown? We picked up a black liquorish nose, with hints of vanilla, smokeless tobacco, bourbony alcohol, soy sauce, molasses, and almond extract. A deep black/purple/marron-maroon color filled the glass and left no lacing. This is an all out beer, with little in the way of subtlety. Black liquorish, sassafras, molasses, some cough medicine I had and hated as a kid (someone else said Dimetapp, bourbon, and toasted wood all came to play.
We all agreed that this beer would be interesting with some age on it, but would it be good?

Dogfish Head Palo Santo Marron Average: 2.60 Mugs
Rogue Hazelnut Brown Nectar
Jason brought out this beer and it wasn't really paired with anything, but just went along nicely in between dinner and dessert. Is that a new meal time? Rouge's take on the brown ale adds some nutty complexity with the traditional brown ale base. The mouthfeel is a little lacking in carbonation, but it still cleared the way for pumpkin pie quite nicely. This is beer is neither offensive or something to really write home about, but it is of good quality and worth your time.

Rogue Hazelnut Brown Nectar Average: 2.88 Mugs
Sorachi IPA
For lack of a Left Hand Juju Ginger, we paired the carrot ginger soup with Chris' homebrew Sorachi IPA. Named after the Sorachi Ace hops, this IPA carried a very refreshing lemon flavor. Citrus and pine filled out the background but this IPA was noticeably lighter than others, while maintaining a very prominent bitterness. When paired with the ginger and black pepper flavors of the soup, a very floral character emerged and created a chamomile and heather flavor profile which blended nicely with the soup. The finish was a bit overpowering, as the hops quickly cleansed the palette of creamy squash and carrot. I think the lesson that we learned here is a citrus pale ale with a bit of a floral character would be a good pairing for ginger spiced squash or carrots.
Ps. Thanks to the folks at Goose the Market for their great brining instructional video and for all their help with the bird. Even I managed to make an tasty and tender turkey, which is no small feat.

Here's the wing straight out of the vac bag. The leading edge didn't need any touching other than to clean it up with 400 grit.
Because I wanted to get the foil section as close to the 63-412 outline I made the wing in 3 sections. Each half wing had the foil section traced on it and I sanded just the root and tips down as close to the outline as I could.
Because the wing does not have any compound curves in it, just straight lines it was easy to use a belt sander mounted upside down to sand the rest of the material away. The completed ends can be used like guides and you are only ever sanding straight sections, no difficult curves so its easier to make it accurate.
I cut 30mm wide section for middle with the sides cut with the right anhedral angle on them ( used a drop saw so that the angle on both sides would be identical) and then 5 min epoxy glued the pieces together.
Although the wood was hardwood ( yep, from bunnings) I selected a very low density piece. Its much more like the typical density of Paulownia (so easy to sand) and so its role is less about providing strength than it is about providing shape. I built it up to about 2.5mm of glass ( 6 x 10oz each layer of glass being about 0.4 mm). Hit a reef with it first session ( go me!!) and it laughed it off.
There was less than an hours work in getting it ready to glass and so I'm going to make a few wings with different foil sections and see how different they feel. Maybe a thinner one.
BTW I came across a really useful bit of free ware for generating NACA foils.

My youngest daughter's friend has been bringing buckeyes to us on Christmas morning for years now. We always look forward to the doorbell ringing because we know she will be bringing us a plate full of the delicious peanut butter/chocolate candy. Sam has to usually hide the plate from us so her family won't eat them all. When I saw these at food.com I knew everyone would love them. Luckily all the girls and both my son-in-laws came over for dinner on Sunday before Sam went back to school and I think the brownies were a hit. They can be made very easily and only have a few ingredients so I know these will be made again.
1 box of brownie mix, made according to back of box
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup softened butter
4 cups powdered sugar
2 tbsp milk, as needed
1/2 cup heavy cream
6 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
Prepare the brownies according to the directions on the box or according to your own recipe.
Allow cooked brownies to cool completely.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat together the peanut butter, butter and powdered sugar until well combined and smooth. The mixture should be thick, but you can add a tablespoon or two of milk if needed so that you can spread the mixture on top of the brownies.
You can't see the brownies but they are under the layer of peanut butter mixture.
Heat the cream in the microwave for about 30 seconds or until it just begins to boil. Remove from heat and pour over the chocolate chips. Whisk until the chocolate is melted and it all comes together and becomes very shiny.
Allow to cool for 10 minutes and then pour over the peanut butter and brownie layers. Smooth the chocolate layer and then place the brownies in the refrigerator for at least an hour. Cut into small pieces.
Enjoy! Susan

It looks as if Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe won't be lending Rick Perry any magic if he ever decides to run for president again.
Indeed, he might cast Perry as Voldemort in his own version of the American presidential election.
In a recent interview with Attitude, a British gay lifestyle magazine, Radcliffe, blasted the Texas governor for his anti-gay views, and questioned the authenticity of his position, The Guardian reported.
The straight actor said he has been "disgusted, amazed, stunned" by Republican candidates, like Michele Bachmann and Rick Santorum, who have taken firm stances against gay rights.
Radcliffe went on to say he feels even more disgusted by "candidates like Rick Perry, who made that ridiculous advert wearing 'the Brokeback jacket,' and I think pretend to be homophobic just to win votes."
Darn. Just when Governor Perry was about to perfect the "Accio another shot" spell…
The British actor, who has recently spent considerable time in the United States while performing in Broadway shows such as Equus and How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, also criticized the educational system in America for being bound to religion.
"I'm not religious, I'm an atheist, and a militant atheist when religion starts impacting on legislation," he said.


text: Hello, I was trying to setup OpenVPN on my Debian Wheezy server for the last 4 days. After a lot of mess ups and after some runs at the office to re-enable the firewall rulles since I managed to lock myself out from the remote desktop several times, I now managed to fix this. For some reason Bastille wouldn't accept the following rules manually: Code: iptables -A INPUT -i tun+ -j ACCEPT iptables -A FORWARD -i tun+ -j ACCEPT iptables -A FORWARD -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 10.8.0.0/24 -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE Although these commands would work without Bastille enabled, they wouldn't if it was enabled. No error was received and the rules were getting inserted in the iptables but Bastille would just ignore them. The solution was simple afterall: Open /etc/Bastille/bastille-firewall.cfg Search for: TRUSTED_IFACES="lo" Change to: TRUSTED_IFACES="lo tun+" Search for: IP_MASQ_NETWORK="" Change to: IP_MASQ_NETWORK="10.8.0.0/24" Save and exit the file. Restart the firewall: /etc/init.d/bastille-firewall restart Done. Is that suppose to happen? Aren't we supposed to be able to insert rules ourselves even when Bastille is enabled? I know that we can add ports through the web interface but how do we add a NAT rule properly?

President Barack Obama's presidential campaign released a new ad Monday, responding to Mitt Romney's "false claim of Jeep outsourcing to China."
The ad, "Collapse," will be released in Ohio, a key swing state considered a must-win for both candidates in next week's election. It comes amid growing criticism over Romney's recent statements — and a related campaign ad — wrongly suggesting that Chrysler is planning on moving U.S. manufacturing jobs to China.
Watch the new Obama ad below:
