It was supposed to increase exports and create jobs. Scott politely describes those lies as based on "flawed trade models, and on distorted and one-sided interpretations of the findings of those models."<br /><br />We got the same crap with NAFTA. It was supposed to create 200,000 jobs. It cost 682,900 U.S. jobs by 2010, with job losses in every U.S. state and congressional district.<br /><br />We'll be hit with more "flawed trade models" as corporations and their stooges the <a href="http://teamsternation.blogspot.com/2013/05/fast-tracking-trade-deals-is-last-thing.html">U.S. Chamber of Commerce </a> lobby for the latest job-killing trade deals, the <a href="http://teamsternation.blogspot.com/2013/07/corporations-want-to-hide-dangers-of-tpp.html">Trans-Pacific Partnership</a> (TPP) and the<a href="http://teamsternation.blogspot.com/2013/07/tafta-delay-good-for-workers.html"> Trans-Atlantic Free Trade Agreement</a> (TAFTA).<br /><br />Scott isn't a fan of TPP or TAFTA:<br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">FTAs and other trade agreements make it enormously profitable to outsource production to countries such as South Korea and China that use currency manipulation, dumping, and other unfair trade practices to undercut production and wages in the United States. U.S. MNCs (multinational corporations), including Apple, Boeing, Dell, Ford, GE, GM, and Intel have also profited enormously from outsourcing to Mexico, China, and other low-wage trade partners under the protection of FTAs and the WTO. The end result is a race to the bottom in wages and working conditions for most members of these agreements (Inequality.is 2013). The United States should stop negotiating FTAs and trade deals and fix the ones we have.</blockquote>Read the whole thing <a href="http://www.epi.org/publication/trade-pacts-korus-trans-pacific-partnership/">here</a>.

Well, tomorrow is the day!!!  The day I will do my official 1 month weigh in!  I am so excited and nervous at the same time.  So in true Ellie style, it will be recorded!!!!! I am so excited!!!!<br /><br />What I want to do is have a little fun.  Please comment below and let me know what you think the TOTAL weight loss is.  (Remember, at 2.5 I was at 13 pounds).  Some aren't able to post for some weird reason, If you can't, go to my face book page <a href="https://www.facebook.com/BelviqDailyPersonal">https://www.facebook.com/BelviqDailyPersonal</a> to reply to my recent post!!<br /><br />Tuesday I officially started with kickstarter60.  <a href="http://www.kickstarter60.com/">www.kickstarter60.com</a>  It's a virtual dietician that gives you menus, and get this - prepares your shopping list.  I already have the first weeks menus.  I plan to go through it Saturday and go grocery shopping.  I'll have to make minor tweaks because I do not like fish and I HATE oatmeal with a  passion.  The smell gags me.  The menus are loaded with a ton of other things.  It's just a foundation to help me get in the right mind set in terms of good nutrients.  Go check out the site.  It's beyond affordable.  It's about a buck a day for 60 days.  They have a free trial.  I am blessed to have family who stepped up and helped me get the program!!!!<br /><br />I will get my full 30 day refill of Belviq on Friday.  For the first time I can get then entire 30 days vs. a week at a time.  I have the $75 dollar off coupon (WHICH HELPS) and I got enough in donations to help with the difference but about $10 bucks.  It's awesome and I THANK EVERYONE who helped contribute and support me and my goals to a healthier lifestyle.<br /><br />I am in process of filing an appeal with BCBS-TX for coverage of Belviq.  The Eisai website gave instructions on how to do it.  HOPEFULLY I will be able to get the exception and get it approved!!!  I am a loud person (you all probably noticed already I am vocal) and I will not stop.  Not just for me, but for everyone else who can find hope in Belviq!!!<br /><br />Tune in tomorrow for another great weigh in episode!!!!  <br /><br />xoxox<br />Ellie

Corporations want to hide dangers of TPP

Multinational corporations want no debate on the proposed Pacific Rim trade deal they're crafting along with 12 nations in secret.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.nam.org/">The National Association of Manufacturers</a><a href="http://documents.nam.org/IEA/TPA%20Letter%2007-13.pdf"><span style="color: blue;"> is asking</span></a> key lawmakers to "fast-track" the deal. We suspect it's because they don't want Congress to look too closely at it. The NAM would prefer lawmakers put the interest of corporations before citizens.<br /><br /><a href="http://documents.foodandwaterwatch.org/doc/Don't_Fast_Track_Fracking_and_Unsafe_Food.pdf"><span style="color: blue;">Food and Water Watch</span></a>, for instance tells us negotiators are trying to undermine food safety rules by imposing private meat inspection. They're also trying to prevent the labeling of foods that contain genetically modified ingredients:<br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">Many of the TPP nations produce farmed seafood raised with chemicals and antibiotics prohibited in the United States. Already these products are shipped here with minimal U.S. inspection. Around 90 percent of the seafood that Americans eat is imported, and most imported catfish and shrimp come from TPP countries. A new trade deal will only increase the flood of unsafe imported fish. </blockquote>The agreement could also end "buy local" programs put in place by schools, hospitals and other government institutions, Food and Water Watch states. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.doctorswithoutborders.org/">Doctors Without Borders</a>, meanwhile, is <a href="http://msfaccess.org/content/msf-open-letter-tpp-countries-dont-trade-away-health"><span style="color: blue;">contacting</span></a>TPP-involved nations because the agreement could restrict affordable medicines from millions of people across the globe. The group says the trade pact could become the most harmful deal ever when it comes to accessing medicines. The doctors argue corporate-backed provisions could harm your health:<br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">These demands ... will roll back public health safeguards and flexibilities enshrined in international law, and put in place far-reaching monopoly protections that will restrict generic competition and keep medicine prices unaffordable.</blockquote>We've written repeatedly about how the TPP could harm American workers, most recently with regards to the <a href="http://teamsternation.blogspot.com/2013/07/growing-congressional-criticism-exposes.html"><span style="color: blue;">textile industry</span></a>. But those real worries stretch across many industries and could lead to thousands if not millions of lost U.S. jobs.<br /><br />We're all for open markets, as long as that doesn't mean trading good American jobs and safe American products for lost jobs, lower wages and foods that make families sick.

The just-released <a href="http://www.quinnipiac.edu/institutes-and-centers/polling-institute/virginia/release-detail?ReleaseID=1923">Quinnipiac University poll</a> shows the overwhelming majority of Virginians are not clamoring for the Governor to resign, with 61 percent saying no, he should not, and 24 percent undecided. Quinnipiac also noted, "Among voters who say they voted for McDonnell in 2009, 84 percent say they would vote for him again...." <br /><br />Also, a new <a href="http://roanoke.edu/News_and_Events/News_Archive/RC_Poll_July_2013.htm">Roanoke College poll</a> shows that most Virginians are not paying attention to the story involving Star Scientific, Jonnie Williams, and Governor <a href="http://vapolitics.us/2013/07/the-mcdonnell-affair-context-and-perspective/">Bob McDonnell</a>:<br /><blockquote>... more than half (60%) of registered voters said they have not been following it closely at all. Only 9 percent said they have been following closely, and 25 percent said they have been following it somewhat closely.</blockquote>Radio host <a href="https://www.facebook.com/TheJohnFredericksShow">John Fredericks</a> recently weighed in on the issue: "Gov. McDonnell gifts: Get over it. Governor Bob McDonnell broke no laws and didn't do anything we can find that is legally unethical or in conflict with Virginia's very liberal gift laws. If you don't like it, change the laws. But don't impugne the Governor. Did he exercise poor judgment? That is speculative. Did he break any laws? From what we have seen so far: no, he did not. So right now, this amounts to a hill of beans, although we acknowledge the depth of different gifts is reaching critical mass. Should he resign? That is his personal decision, but certainly not over this nonsense."

They voted by a margin of nearly 70 percent to join Teamsters Local 469 in Hazlet. The bargaining unit includes local drivers who service the Ports of New York and New Jersey, hostlers who move trailers within the Toll yard and long-haul drivers.<br /><br />The effort to form a union at Toll New Jersey came with surprisingly fierce resistance from the company, which is unionized in Australia, as well as at the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. After the company hired a union buster, drivers filed charges with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). The charges filed by the drivers included surveillance, coercion, and making threats. The labor board is investigating the charges.<br /><br />Fred Schmidt, a Toll driver, said he feels they won their fight for dignity and respect on the job. <br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">As a Teamster, we will now be able to fight for what we have earned without fear of retribution: a fair day's pay for a hard day's work, affordable medical benefits and real retirement security.</blockquote>Fred Potter, Local 469 president and director of the Teamsters Port division, praised the drivers for refusing to buy the company's lies.<br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">Toll drivers in New Jersey now have the same rights as Toll Group drivers in Los Angeles, who are represented by Teamsters Local 848, and as Australian Toll drivers represented by the Transport Workers Union.</blockquote>The New Jersey Toll drivers’ victory comes at a crucial time in a national effort to modernize the port trucking industry. As many as 90 percent of America’s roughly 110,000 port truck drivers are misclassified as “independent contractors.” They are paid by the load at a poverty rate set by cargo owners like Walmart and Target.<br /><br />Teamsters General President Jim Hoffa called port trucking "the broken link in our nation's supply chain."<br /><br />

Learning From Programs Like Vive Weight Loss

<div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawbyline'>By Esme Spence</div><br /><br /> <div class='uawarticle'>Weight control programs similar to Vive weight loss utilize differing methods to approach successful weight loss. Varying strategies could be gleaned by you from programs like Vive weight loss without actually taking part in such systems. Those striving to get the weight loss Salt Lake City dwellers often need will find ample ideas, products, and strategies for losing weight. There are so many that it may be difficult to know where to start. Some get the support they require from systems such as Vive, and others might not benefit as much from that support and advice. This short article will cover a few of the good ideas weight loss programs use that could be utilized in just about anyone's efforts to shed some pounds.<br /> <br /> First, we will talk about evaluation of your individual body, which is a key to programs such as Vive weight loss. Second, we'll discuss how a personalized workout and dieting plan is another part of successful weight loss journeys. Third, we will talk about how obtaining the right coaching and support is highly helpful.<br /> <br /> Weight loss packages like Vive weight loss or others usually endorse getting a complete concept of what you are working with when you get going on a weight loss journey. After all, someone who is simply looking to shed a couple of pounds and someone who is considered morbidly obese are likely to have to approach slimming down differently. Besides the measure of weight, you may also want to know things like your body fat percentage. This might give you a notion of what your fat and muscle percentages might be. Your body mass index (or BMI) could be yet another part of your body composition analysis you may want to know about.<br /> <br /> No surprise, each person is different. Setting goals is a good idea to get the weight loss Salt Lake City citizens often want, but we all likely have to set our own unique goals. Therefore, it is very important to consider your own needs and desires when getting started. Some people desire to just jump in to a pre-set system and have it succeed for them just like it did for somebody else. However, customizing an exercise plan and diet is a better idea because all of us have our personal needs for losing weight.<br /> <br /> Programs including Vive weight loss and others really can provide a lot of great assistance. Accountability is critical for many people in getting healthier. If you don't have anyone to keep in touch with about improvement or to ask questions, you may quit your efforts or even harm yourself. As you progress, having somebody coach you and encourage you is great. Choosing a good work out pal or other source for guidance or accountability can be a great idea.<br /> <br /> Many of the actions programs have clients take may be helpful for those seeking the weight loss Salt Lake City dwellers may seek, but programs like Vive weight loss and others like it might not be for every seeker of fitness.<br /> <br /> </div><br /> <div class='uawresource'><br /> <div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><br /> <div class='uawlinks'>Looking to find the best deal on <a href='http://www.elase.com/utah/vive-weight-loss'>vive weight loss</a>, then visit Roxy Albright's site to find the best advice on services like this and also <a href='http://www.elase.com/utah/lip-augmentation'>lip injections Utah</a> for you.</div><br /> </div><br />

Warming Up With The Help Of The Personal Trainer Carlsbad

<div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawbyline'>By Michael Petry</div><br /><br /> <div class='uawarticle'>When you exercise with a personal trainer Carlsbad, you'll often be reminded to do a warm-up routine before trying to start your actual routine. While you may question this seemingly pointless waste of time, as some people prefer to just effectively use the precious minutes to fit in some extra routine work, warming up is actually both beneficial and necessary to your overall fitness regimen.<br /> <br /> Why You Need To Stretch Before Working Out<br /> <br /> Warming up, or stretching, is something that anyone and everyone should do before exercising. Besides the reasons which are stated below, it's mainly to help you exercise better and to prevent any unnecessary injuries. Strained muscles and pulled tendons are a pain to deal with, particularly if you are trying hard to reach certain goals, and they are more likely to occur if you skip the warm-up beforehand. It is amazing to note that even just a few minutes of total body stretching is enough to help you avoid such problems.<br /> <br /> Benefits of Warming Up<br /> <br /> There are 3 primary benefits that you get from warming up, as any excellent personal trainer Carlsbad will tell you. They are:<br /> <br /> * It increases your body's overall blood flow.<br /> <br /> The initial exercise will make your heart work harder than its usual resting rate. This in turn causes your blood vessels and capillaries to expand to accept a better flow of blood. Not only does this mean that your body is better supplied with oxygen, but that before you start working out, your body is already primed and ready to make the most out of the coming regimen.<br /> <br /> * It allows your muscles to become more pliant.<br /> <br /> The stretching of your muscles when you warm up gives them a chance to get used to the sudden switch from a motionless state to one of movement. As a personal trainer Carlsbad can tell you, stretching itself is a light workout for your muscles, and it makes them become pliant and easy to work with when you exercise properly later on. The increased blood flow also helps by giving your muscles more oxygen to fuel itself with.<br /> <br /> * It helps put your entire body, mind included, in the mood of exercising.<br /> <br /> Warming up helps put you in the general mood set for exercising. While some people need no help with this, it still benefits the others, particularly those who find it difficult to get enthusiastic about working out in the first place.<br /> <br /> Why You Should Listen To A Personal Trainer Carlsbad<br /> <br /> Carlsbad is a place that is full of exercise enthusiasts from many parts of the world. Because of this, there are a good number of personal trainers there that have been especially trained to deal with people of many types.<br /> <br /> While a workout routine differs from person to person, warming up does not. It's a basic piece of knowledge that each professional fitness trainer is going to be expected to know. If the same personal trainer Carlsbad knows about your health history, they may also even adjust certain stretches to help make up for the old or still recovering injuries.<br /> <br /> </div><br /> <div class='uawresource'><br /> <div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><br /> <div class='uawlinks'>Becoming in great shape with the assistance of <a href="http://www.theperfectworkout.com/personal-trainer-carlsbad/">clicking here</a> not only improves your physique but also your well being as well.

Strength training for fat loss is the best way to lose body fat

<div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawbyline'>By Frederic Leblanc</div><br /><br /> <div class='uawarticle'>When it comes to plan their strength training for fat loss, they get discouraged simply because they get small to no results and wind up giving up. In most case, people will say that they don't have any time to go in the fitness center, stop becoming lazy...this exercise that I am gonna show you is one of the best strength training for fat loss,the training session will final no greater than 30-45 minutes and you'll only have to go at the fitness center three to four times a week to attain incredible outcomes. Why selecting compound exercises over isolation in your strength training for fat loss<br /> <br /> To be able to get the best results, you will have to choose compound exercises which are the ones that use a number of muscle groups at the same time, the much more muscle groups you use to lift a weight, the much more calories you burn that's why we say that they are the best fat burning exercises. What you'll have to implement in your exercise routine are exercises like squat or walking lounge, deadlift, dumbbell bench press, dumbbell/barbell rows,chin up,etc... It's pretty much all totally free weights as you are able to see, the primary workouts utilized in strength training for fat loss will probably be compound movements but we'll also use isolation exercises which use only one muscle group. It might not be the best but isolation workouts can be utilized for injuries rehabilitation, lagging body components and in superset with compound workouts.<br /> <br /> There is three efficient methods that I use for fat loss;<br /> <br /> Method 1 (most easy): Going 3-4time per week to the gym, doing low repetitions (around eight), taking 30 seconds to 1 minute rest between sets<br /> <br /> Method 2 (HIIT cardio added): Going 3-4time per week to the gym, performing low repetitions (around eight), taking 30 seconds to 1 minute rest between sets, having 2-3 days of cardio in your rest days(do hiit cardio,30sec running/30sec jogging as many rounds as you are able to)<br /> <br /> Method 3 (circuit-training): Going 3-4time a week to the gym, doing low repetitions (around 8), do 30-45 second jogging in your rest period in between sets, do 2-3days moderate cardio in your rest days.<br /> <br /> In the event you still want much more challenge, you could do your exercises in superset but I believe it's already enough difficult like that. Here's a sample exercise of my strength training for fat loss :<br /> <br /> Monday: Chest & upper abs<br /> <br /> Dumbbell bench press: 4sets of 8-10 reps Close grip dumbbell bench press: 4sets of 8-10 reps Dumbbell flyes: 4sets of 8-10 reps Crunch: 3sets of 15-20reps<br /> <br /> Tuesday: HIIT Cardio<br /> <br /> Wednesday: Back and lower abs<br /> <br /> Chin up: 4sets of 8-10 reps Barbell rows: 4sets of 8-10 reps Deadlift: 4sets of 10-12 reps Reverse crunch: 3sets of 15-20reps<br /> <br /> Thursday: HIIT Cardio<br /> <br /> Friday: Legs<br /> <br /> Walking lounge: 4sets of 12-15reps Legs extension: 4sets of 12-15reps Semi stiff legged deadlift: 4sets of 12-15reps Lying legs curl: 4sets of 12-15reps<br /> <br /> Saturday: Arms(optional) & shoulders(shoulders may be added on legs day)<br /> <br /> Hammer curls: 3sets of 8-10reps Reverse Close-Grip Bench To Skull Crusher: 3sets of 8-10reps Standing One-Arm Cable Curl: 3sets of 8-10reps Cable 1 Arm Tricep Extension: 3sets of 8-10reps Side Lateral Raise: 4sets of 12-15reps<br /> <br /> Sunday: Off<br /> <br /> P.S. This is my strength training for fat loss that I'm using but note that this exercise might not be for beginners, it is much more appropriate for intermediate trainers.<br /> <br /> </div><br /> <div class='uawresource'><br /> <div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><br /> <div class='uawlinks'>If you liked these tips on <a href="http://www.empowernetwork.com/white700/blog/category/fat-loss/">strength training for fat loss</a> and wish to have more info, visit my blog by <a href="http://www.empowernetwork.com/white700/?id=white700">clicking here</a>.</div><br /> </div><br />

Ideas For Weight Loss Salt Lake City Dwellers Might Utilize

<div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawbyline'>By Roxy Albright</div><br /><br /> <div class='uawarticle'>For weight loss Salt Lake City citizens can do well to start by talking it over with a doctor. A physician might be able to help them know what ways they could individually change their diet or exercise practices. There are also many little tips out there that those who want to lose weight can use which might aid them in working toward the weight loss Salt Lake City citizens may seek. This short article will cover three such ideas that could at least be positive influences for weight loss. We will talk about how different things like breakfast or even the lip injections Utah estheticians can perform might be of use in weight loss.<br /> <br /> We will start by discussing how vitamins may help people to earn the weight loss Salt Lake City dwellers often need. Next, we will explore how boosting your confidence in your appearance may be another way to boost weight-reduction efforts. At last, we will consider how slicing portions of meals up could even have the ability to help you.<br /> <br /> For just about everyone looking to lose some pounds it's difficult to achieve the objectives they set for themselves. Some research in a journal related to obesity found that a multivitamin could be a valuable aid. The investigation involved splitting overweight female test subjects into three groups that received a daily calcium supplement, multivitamin, or placebo for 26 weeks. The women in the group taking the multivitamin had less body fat than the other two categories of women when the study concluded. A healthcare professional has suggested that some people may possibly binge on food since their bodies are hunting for nutrients and vitamins they're not consuming enough of (and which multivitamins might provide to them).<br /> <br /> Improving the way you look isn't always just about appearances. Actually, it may have a positive effect on other facets of your daily life, also. Lots of people who make positive changes in their appearance develop more confidence as a result. Whether you get laser skin tightening or just the lip injections Utah medical spas can provide, improving your appearance might increase your confidence in yourself and thus aid in your willingness to concentrate on the weight loss Salt Lake City dwellers like you may want.<br /> <br /> Often how much you eat actually boils down to what your brain sees on your plate. Slicing up portions of your food can trick your mind into thinking you're eating more. Helping the dimensions seem greater after they have been cut up can make less food look like more. Applying this technique has actually been found to lessen the total amount many people consume by 25 percent. Who knew a knife might cut away a fourth of one's appetite?<br /> <br /> Little tips like getting the lip injections Utah esthetic specialists may provide could help affect the weight loss Salt Lake City residents may want, but the biggest tip is that shedding some pounds requires serious effort.<br /> <br /> </div><br /> <div class='uawresource'><br /> <div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><br /> <div class='uawlinks'>Looking to find the best deal on <a href='http://www.elase.com/utah/vive-weight-loss'>weight loss Salt Lake City</a>, then visit Roxy Albright's site to find the best advice on services like this and also <a href='http://www.elase.com/utah/lip-augmentation'>lip injections Utah</a> for you.</div><br /> </div><br />
