To Boost the Economy, Make a Sale Economic growth comes not from Washington but from a sale at a time. Around six million American sales professionals get up each business morning to spend their day driving the growth of our economy by selling new business, which spawns yet more jobs - those dedicated to producing the goods and services to fulfill customer orders. Three trillion dollars worth of gross domestic product is fueled in this way, one sale at a time. (Initial jobless claims rose by 10,000 the week before last, the highest number in several months.) The nation's salespeople must make more calls and close more sales to attempt to turn this tide yet again. Selling new busines_s is what creates jobs. Our economy is not a weather front that passes overhead while we wait for sunshine or brace for a storm. It's a gigantic, man-made enterprise that creates wealth and jobs in direct proportion to the rate of development of new businesses. But, too often, we're led to believe in a fairy tale: that the president, Congress and the Federal Reserve chairman can go to their offices and flip switches that somehow will turn the U.S. economy on (or up, or down) and create jobs.

Live on the Water! A life on the water is a dream for many people and a reality for many Californians. Recently, this unusual way of life has been starting to change, as the number of boat inhabitants has been decreasing. This phenomenon is a result of overpopulation. As aquatic real estate becomes scarce, it is driving up the cost of living on the sea. The prices for docking fees and increased hydro costs have made it difficult to find a reasonable home on the sea. As well, in order to obtain a permit that allows a person to dock their houseboat at a marina, one might have to wait months - if not years! In addition, because of the demand on space, local marinas have had to create waiting lists for new members. All of these factors are contributing to this decrease in water residents. The largest problem facing current houseboat residents is marina owners' interpretation of the laws that are currently in place. These marinas enforce their own rules about the number of live-aboard members to approximately 15% of the total boats anchored. Marinas cite a lack of security and poor sanitation conditions for their non-live in members as reasons for this action. The strict adherence to local laws for hydroelectricity and local plumbing and sanitation ordinances are used to drive away current and potential residents. They have gone as far as when a problem is found with a resident's craft they are effectively evicted; even if the boat can stay, the owner must leave until the problem is solved. This temporary loss of residence can be very expensive and inconvenient for the residents, and can ultimately lead to them finding somewhere else to live. It has been officially reported that due to all these factors, the number of maritime residents has dropped over 40% in the last year.

Thank you for choosing J-Travel. Please keep in mind the following information before you embark on your journey: 1. Check-in: When flying domestically, please make sure that you arrive at the airport a minimum of 1 hour before your flight departure time. When flying internationally, we advise you to check in at least 2 hours before the departure time. Please note that if you check in late, you may not be permitted to board the plane. 2. Overbooking: Flights can be overbooked. If you are denied boarding, you will be given a compensatory payment in most cases. Please check the rules related to denied boarding and ask any ticket counter agent for the relevant application forms for compensatory payment. 3. Baggage insurance: The insurance airlines provide in relation to lost or damaged luggage has a very narrow coverage. Also, damages from cancellation, accident, illness or stolen or damaged property may not be sufficiently covered by your own personal insurance. Although the chance of such damage occurring to you is very low statistically, we strongly recommend you to purchase your own additional insurance. This additional insurance may not be cheap, but it is often worthwhile to have. Please check with us to find a list of insurance companies. We strongly recommend you contacting one of these insurance companies to protect yourself. 4. Prepaid tickets: If you or someone else has requested a prepaid airline ticket, you can collect the prepaid ticket at the airline ticket counter. Just don't forget to present a valid piece of identification to pick it up. Be aware that most airlines will ask you for a non-refundable service fee before you pick up the ticket. The passenger whose name appears on the reservation will ultimately be responsible for this tee. Please understand that this additional service fee is imposed by the airlines

Below is a table which shows the recommended total fiber intake for men and women. AGE 19-50 Over50 MEN 38 grams/day 30 grams/day WOMEN 25 grams/day 21 grams/day The daily average consumption of fiber by North American men is only about 18 grams, while that of average North American women is only about 14 grams. You will be surprised to know how easy it is to add fiber to your diet. Some suggestions below will help you get started: - Replace low-fiber foods (white bread, white rice, candy, chips) with high-fiber foods (whole-grain bread, brown rice, fruits and vegetables). - When appropriate, eat more raw vegetables and fresh fruits with their skins on. Vegetables lose their fiber content when cooked, and people often overlook that skins are an excellent source of fiber. - Include high-fiber foods in your meals every day. Having bran cereal in the morning is a good start, but beans, fruits and whole grains should also be a part of your diet. Two things you should pay attention to: 1. Your fiber intake must be increased gradually so that your body can have time to adjust itself. A sudden increase may make you feel bloated and give you abdominal cramps. You may have to add the recommended amount of fiber in your diet over several weeks. 2. Drink lots of water. It is recommended that you drink a minimum of six to eight glasses of water every day

PASSAGE 1: August 20 Welcome to Bethune College Residence We would like to welcome freshmen and returning students to our residence. We hope that this year will be as good if not better than the last. We have made some renovations to the building that we think you will really enjoy, including a new lounge with four pool tables, and three foosball tables. This lounge will be open from I0 a.m. until 11 p.m. and will be supported by a cafe that will offer a wide range of beverages and snacks for your pleasure. For all of us to have a fun and safe year it is important to set up some ground rules for your behavior. It is very important to note that breaking these rules can result in suspension of privileges, eviction from the residence, and possibly expulsion from school. In addition, you are responsible for the action of any guest that you bring into the residence. This means that upon entry and exit, any guest that you wish to stay with you MUST sign in and out. The maximum number of guests per person is two. With this in mind these are the cardinal rules: I. Drinking in the common spaces, i.e. outside of your room is prohibited. 2. Illegal drugs of any kind are banned. 3. Violence of any kind is prohibited. 4. Damage to the property is not tolerated. 5. Smoking inside the building is not allowed. 6. Noise in the hallways after I0 p.m. is prohibited. We hope that these main rules will help everyone have a safe and educational year in Bethune Residence. For further details of the rules and by-laws of the residence refer to your student handbook, and if you have any questions please ask the Resident Tutor, Doug McCain PASSAGE 2: November 1 Dear Mr. Camber: This letter is being sent to formally inform you that you are being summoned to the residence committee meeting this Friday, November 6. The actions of your guests on the night of October 31were not in line with our rules, and you, as stated in our welcome flier, are responsible for their actions. Allegedly, your guests were involved in drinking and fighting in the hallways of the 12th floor at 1 o'clock in the morning. Upon arrival of the resident counselor they were disrespectful and were shoving her around. This is completely unacceptable and requires us to take action. You will have to join this meeting on the 11th floor of Passy Hall with the Resident Board of Directors and committee. They will decide your ultimate fate. Sincerely, Doug McCain Resident Tutor

I'd also appreciate it if you send me information on party and set menus. Thank you.

If you are still having problems with your monitor and computer, I suggest that you bring it in to any one of our 10 convenient locations in your area. Unfortunately, we might have to charge you for the service time, because we do not cover any driver issues that might arise due to our software. Sincerely, Tina Baker Customer Service Representative
