Pruning Roses
Always cut above a dormant eye or bud, since an eye which is in full growth may possibly have been injured by frosts some weeks earlier and it will then produce 'blind' or flowerless wood.
Prune first-year bushes of hybrid teas and floribundas towards the end of February or in early March. Those planted from mid-February onward must be pruned immediately before planting; but in most instances the nurseryman will have done the pruning before delivery.
Winter pruning of both newly planted and established roses is often advocated. In a mild winter, December or January 'pruning may be successful and lead to a slightly earlier first crop of bloom. But if the winter ends with a spell of really hard weather, the premature growths resulting from the very early pruning may be injured, and when summer comes the leaves may suddenly drop off for no apparent reason.
Since the weather is unpredictable there can be no hard and fast rule regarding early pruning; one can only experiment.
Prune new trees severely, to within 6 in. of the bud union, thereby stimulating the production of fresh shoots towards the base of the plant, which will ultimately develop into a well-balanced, bushy tree, rather than a leggy specimen with most of the flowers at or near the top.
On thin, sandy soils, postpone this drastic pruning until the second year, otherwise considerable die-back may-ensue. Wait until early May when growth is well advanced and then remove any dead wood.
Leave newly planted climbers and ramblers unpruned, except to remove any dead wood in February.
Standards (especially standard hybrid teas) dislike drastic pruning at any time. Remove any weak, sappy shoots and cut back the tips of the remainder.
Hybrid teas:
Prune hybrid teas towards the end of February. The basic idea is to encourage the growth of a reasonably open, cup-shaped bush. This facilitates free circulation of light and air, thus reducing danger of mildew, which is stimulated by bad air. As black spot often begins on thin, twiggy shoots near the base, always cut these shoots right out.
Remove any diseased, frosted and obviously exhausted or dead wood. Old wood left for several years tends to harbour fungus spores and insect pests. Frosted wood is generally brown or discoloured and must be cut back to healthy tissue, which is indicated by white or greenish-white pith.
Also remove unripe wood. This is easily identified by gently pressing the thorns on the stem; if the wood is unripe, they will break off only after much effort, but on ripe growth they will fly off readily.
Typical unripe shoots are the basal growths which develop after the end of August. These usually produce inferior flowering growths.
Pruning 'proper' is quite simple. Cut back to about half the length of the previous season's growth. If it is necessary to encourage fresh basal growth in the third and subsequent years, reduce an occasional old shoot to within 3 or 4 in. of its base.
Prune floribundas early in February for the best results. First remove all useless wood. Criss-cross shoots are common and should also be cut right out. Leave the remaining shoots at various lengths to help ensure continuity of bloom.
Cut back some of the previous year's ripe wood a couple of inches only, reduce other shoots to about half their length and prune the remainder to within 3 or 4 in. of the base.
Ramblers and climbers:
The old type Wichuraiana ramblers and the more modern, late-flowering Crimson Shower flower once only on the previous season's wood. Tie the new basal shoots in lightly as they appear during late spring and summer.
When the old wood has flowered, cut it away to the base, train the new wood carefully in the desired position and wind the shoots round the post to encourage profuse bloom.
With all other ramblers and climbers cut the tops of the laterals a few inches in late February and cut out an occasional old shoot.
Varieties vary a great deal in vigour and freedom and continuity of bloom, but the general rule is to spare the knife. Climbing sports in particular resent hard pruning. Never allow them to grow upward; train the main shoots fan-wise or horizontally, because most blooms are produced on the laterals. Miniatures: Miniature roses need little pruning. Simply trim the plants to the desired shape and cut back any strong shoots which emerge from below soil level to half their length.

Iggy Azalea NOT Demanding Nick Young "Take Lie Detector Test," Despite Report
Iggy Azalea is NOT demanding Nick Young "take a lie detector test" to come clean about his alleged history of cheating, despite a false webloid report. Gossip Cop can exclusively bust this claim. We're told it's "not true."
As Gossip Cop has reported, a video leaked last month featuring Young, who's been engaged to Azalea since June 2015, telling his Los Angeles Lakers teammate D'Angelo Russell he had recently hooked up with a 19-year-old girl. The singer has since forgiven her fiance's indiscretion, and amid rumors of a split, Azalea tweeted, "For the record, i havent broken up with Nick." But that hasn't stopped RadarOnline from claiming the couple's relationship is "hanging by a thread."
A so-called "source" tells the webloid, "Iggy's asked him to [take a lie detector test] before but he's always slid out of it… But now she's saying there's no sense in them sticking around until the truth comes out." The site's supposed insider adds, "Nick's got a serious choice to make, and she's determined not to be a pushover anymore."
But Gossip Cop checked in with a source close to the situation, who exclusively tells us the webloid's claim about a supposed lie detector ultimatum is simply "not true." In fact, Young and Azalea were spotted having a great time together at Lucky Strike Live in Hollywood on Sunday.
Of course, Gossip Cop isn't surprised by the webloid's inaccurate story. RadarOnline is among the many outlets that falsely alleged Nicki Minaj was possibly behind the leak of Young's videotaped confession, something Azalea has since flat out denied. Maybe it's time for some of RadarOnline's alleged sources to submit to a lie detector test.

Boeing leads in the annual race with European rival Airbus this year so far to land the most commercial airliner orders, but Airbus could be closing fast as the year ends.
The France-based aerospace manufacturer announced orders today from China Eastern Airlines for 50 Airbus A320 single-aisle jets. It wasn't clear in the announcement whether those are new orders or orders already announced as part of an overall Chinese airlines order.
Boeing says it has booked 583 new airliner orders this year not deducting cancellations. Airbus has reported 440 new orders through November.
In a letter to employees Airbus CEO Tom Enders said he expects new orders this year to exceed 500, but he didn't say by how many. The partial contents of that letter was reported in The Wall Street Journal.
That figure is about twice as many as Airbus had predicted earlier this year. A reviving economy in much of the world is responsible for those additional orders, Enders said.
Airbus and Boeing won't announce final 2010 orders until early next year. Airbus is notorious for signing deals at year's end.
With both companies winning more than 500 orders, 2010 will be a far better year than 2009. Boeing won 263 orders last year. Airbus toted up 310.
Even the healthy number of orders this year are nowhere near the record orders of the middle of the last decade. Boeing booked more than 1,000 orders in 2005, 2006 and 2007.

Mother Goose next for Summerly
LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Summerly was back on the racetrack for the first time since she won the 131st Kentucky Oaks when she went out for a routine gallop Wednesday morning at Churchill Downs.
Trainer Steve Asmussen said everything has gone smoothly for Summerly since she captured the Oaks last Friday by two lengths. Her next start will be the June 25 Mother Goose at Belmont Park.
Asmussen actually was tending to his Keeneland string Wednesday, when he was scheduled to fly to his home in the Dallas area before returning to Louisville early next week. He said the feeling of winning the Oaks has been overwhelming.
"It's one of those races that felt better to win than you even imagined it would," he said. "And my expectations of how it might feel were already very high."
Whenever Asmussen is away from Churchill, the stable is overseen by longtime assistant Scott Blasi. Summerly, said Blasi, "went great out there [Wednesday] morning. She came out of her race just fine."
Howard plots agenda for stakes trio
Trainer Neil Howard enjoyed an outstanding last two weeks when he won graded stakes with Alumni Hall, Shadow Cast, and America Alive.
Howard said Wednesday he is looking at the Schaefer Handicap on the May 21 Preakness undercard at Pimlico for Alumni Hall, winner of the Grade 3 Ben Ali Stakes at Keeneland last out. Alumni Hall breezed five furlongs Wednesday in 1:01.40 at Churchill.
Shadow Cast, winner of the Grade 2 Louisville Breeders' Cup on Oaks Day, probably will wait for the June 18 Fleur de Lis Handicap at Churchill.
"That was a hard race she had," said Howard. "That should give us the right amount of time between races."
America Alive, upset winner of the Grade 1 Woodford Reserve on Kentucky Derby Day, may run next in the June 11 Manhattan at Belmont, "although the 1 1/4 miles might not be his absolute best."
America Alive rallied from last to win the 1 1/8-mile Woodford.
"We might just wait for the Firecracker," a one-mile race here July 4, "although the mile might be a little short for him, but it is over a course we know he likes."
Nothing definite for My Trusty Cat
My Trusty Cat, upset winner of the Grade 1 Humana Distaff on Derby Day, ideally will race "maybe four more times the rest of the year," said trainer David Vance. "We would love to get over a million dollars with her."
Vance said he would prefer to keep My Trusty Cat racing at seven furlongs, the same distance as the Humana, although those races are not plentiful.
Razor tops Matt Winn probables
Razor, trained by Asmussen, looks like the horse to beat in the lone stakes scheduled here this weekend, the $100,000 Matt Winn on Saturday.
Mike Smith has the mount on Razor, the beaten odds-on favorite last month in the Lafayette Stakes at Keeneland. Other 3-year-olds likely for the six-furlong Matt Winn include Big Top Cat, Crimson Stag, Eyeforglory, Semaphore Man, and Smoke Smoke Smoke.
Pat Day has the mount on Semaphore Man for trainer Kelly Von Hemel. Agent Doc Danner said Day will have two or three other mounts Saturday, his first day back since he underwent hip surgery on March 30.
* The city of Louisville and Mayor Jerry Abramson proclaimed Wednesday as "Mike Smith Celebration Day" in honor of the Hall of Fame jockey's dramatic victory aboard Giacomo in the 131st Kentucky Derby. A ceremony was planned for between races.
* Jockey Gary Stevens will be away Saturday to ride Magna Graduate for trainer Pat Byrne in the Lone Star Derby in Texas.

Engrossing mysterious profound and liberating Arabian Nights is an exquisitely dreamlike sensuous and adult interpretation of the original folk tales presented here in a beautiful new High Definition restoration.
About the Director
Pier Paolo Pasolini was an Italian film director, poet, writer and intellectual. Pasolini distinguished himself as a poet, journalist, philosopher, linguist, novelist, playwright, filmmaker, newspaper and magazine columnist, actor, painter and political figure. He demonstrated a unique and extraordinary cultural versatility, becoming a highly controversial figure in the process. While his work remains controversial to this day, in the years since his death Pasolini has come to be valued by many as a visionary thinker and a major figure in Italian literature and art. Influential American literary critic Harold Bloom considers Pasolini to be a major European poet and a major voice in 20th-century poetry, including his works in his collection of the Western Canon.

In one example, a drug dealer regularly broke into a Yorkshire jail over a six-month period, using a ladder to climb the walls and supply inmates with drugs and mobile phones.
The intruder walked across the yard with the ladder and used it to climb up to a cell window, which had been pulled apart with a crowbar and covered by a dummy grille.
Glyn Travis, the assistant general secretary of the Prison Officers' Association, said: "It was an extraordinary case because none of the prisoners inside tried to escape when no doubt they had the opportunity.
"It tells me there's something wrong in society when people are breaking into prisons to bring in drugs, but the prisoners are quite happy to stay inside."
Inmates at a top security prison recently told Jack Straw, the Justice Secretary, that conditions there were like a "holiday camp".
They said they enjoyed the use of satellite television and video game consoles as well as their free bed and board.
Prisoners receive wages topped up by bonuses for good behaviour, while drugs are sometimes cheaper in jail than on the streets.
It is understood that there have also been examples of prostitutes being smuggled into HMP Sudbury, a Category D prison, in Derbyshire.
Nick Herbert, the shadow justice secretary, criticised what he called another example of a "failing prison system".
He said: "Prisons should be places of hard work and restoration, preparing offenders to go straight.
"Instead we have overcrowded jails where drugs are rife, prisoners are too often idle and there is little purposeful activity. It is time for a fundamental shake-up of our failing prisons system."
Mr Travis said the break-ins he described were uncovered last January at HMP Everthorpe, which holds about 700 Category C inmates.
The governor, Gary Monaghan, has since moved to an office job working in IT, the Ministry of Justice confirmed.
A spokesman said that inmates at Everthorpe were all in their cells at the time the drug dealer broke in.
However, Mr Travis said: "The prisoners would recognise that if a man can break in so easily and regularly, the opportunity was there to break out. But they did not try."
He blamed under-funding for leaving prison officers' morale at "rock-bottom", as they struggled to cope with an overcrowding crisis that meant conditions were verging on "anarchy".
"Drugs are coming into prisons at a rate that's so dramatic that drugs in prisons are actually cheaper than on the outside," Mr Travis added.
"Prisoners receive a wage for being in prison, they receive a bed, a TV in all cells, Sky television in most areas for recreational use, free telephones, breakfast in bed on many occasions, cash bonuses for good behaviour.
"And prison staff are forced to deal with them in such a subservient way. It's ridiculous."
A spokesman for the Prison Service said that it was aware of a security breach but dismissed claims of "cushy" prisons.
"During the incident, at no time were prisoners out of their cells or able to access any other areas of the prison," he said. "Immediate action was taken with extra fencing, the removal of trees, extra CCTV cameras, and the transfer of the offender involved to another establishment."
The spokesman added: "All prisoners are provided with a breakfast pack each evening which they eat in their cells in the morning.
"If a cooked breakfast is provided prisoners have to collect it from the wing servery and take it back to eat in their cells.
"Access to televisions is a condition of acceptable behaviour.
"Television sets purchased for in-cell prisoner use are paid for by the weekly rental fee of £1 paid by prisoners.
"The average wage for a prisoner is under £10 a week. Televisions can and will be removed from prisoners whose behaviour is deemed unacceptable."
He added: "The National Offender Management Service recognises that a careful balance must be maintained between the concerns of the public that prisoners should not benefit from their criminal behaviour and the need to ensure that, wherever possible, prisoners are rehabilitated."
- A night in a London police cell costs almost twice as much as a room at the Ritz or the Dorchester, figures released under the Freedom of Information Act showed yesterday.
- Because of the overcrowding crisis, the Ministry of Justice spends more than £1 million a month of taxpayers' money to house 50 prisoners a night in Metropolitan Police cells.
- The cost of holding each prisoner at a police station works out at an average of £667. A stay at the Dorchester for one person costs £395 and a king-size executive suite at the Ritz is £390.

ALEX COHEN, host:
This is Day to Day. I'm Alex Cohen.
MADELEINE BRAND, host:
I'm Madeleine Brand. In a few minutes, turning to private firefighters to fight fires in California.
COHEN: First, though, a fierce debate over menthol cigarettes. Tobacco legislation currently before the House would ban cigarettes flavored like candy, spices or fruit but not menthol-flavored ones. And that's angering some black lawmakers.
BRAND: That's because 75 percent of black smokers choose menthols - brands like Newport, Salem, Kool. No one's sure why menthol cigarettes are so popular with African-Americans, but here are some thoughts from smokers Sofia Wyatt(ph), Kenneth Pledger(ph), Renee Smith(ph) and Rachel Waller(ph) in Detroit.
Ms. SOFIA WYATT: I've seen people like - I'd offer a person a cigarette and they'd say, if it's not Newport, I don't want it. Seriously.
Mr. KENNETH PLEDGER: When I'm drinking and somebody see you with a menthol or do you want a regular cigarette, I probably would take the menthol, if that what it takes. And I don't know what's in the cigarette itself that makes you want to crave that taste, but...
Mr. RENEE SMITH: I don't - I mean, a pack of cigarettes will last me a week and a half, so maybe I need to quit. But I don't know, I like the Newports because you get Newport rewards.
Ms. RACHEL WALLER: Well, if you're finding that more people are addicted to a certain brand, then there has to be a reason behind it.
COHEN: Tobacco companies want to make sure those smokers keep buying menthols. Menthols account for 28 percent of the 70 billion dollar American cigarette industry. But the Congressional Black Caucus, or CBC, says an exemption from menthol in the new tobacco legislation isn't fair. They're calling for tougher menthol restrictions in the bill. Congressional delegate Donna Christensen of the U.S. Virgin Islands heads the health task force for the CBC.
Representative DONNA CHRISTENSEN (Democrat, U.S. Virgin Islands; Head of Congressional Black Caucus Health Task Force): We are looking at the language in the bill already that calls for research on the connection between menthol and African-Americans and higher rates of lung cancer. There's also limitations on advertising, both on the pack and out in the open, and against targeting individuals, groups or children, especially. I guess the ideal thing would be an outright ban, and that was proposed in a committee as an amendment. It was offered as an amendment. It was voted down. You know, we're looking at any way that we can get to a scientific basis for banning because the bill already gives the secretary and the FDA the authority to ban menthol or any other flavoring or additives in cigarettes, once the science is definitive.
COHEN: Menthol cigarettes are a very significant part of the tobacco industry, I think approximately 25 percent. And a lot of people have said if you address menthol cigarettes in this legislation, the whole thing could fall apart, and that would be a really big loss. What's your response?
Representative CHRISTENSEN: I agree with that. I agree with that. I think the most important thing is to make this giant first step in authorizing the Food and Drug Administration to finally regulate tobacco. This has been a long battle - it's been longer than 10 years. The tobacco companies have fought it. Many tobacco companies are continuing to fight even what we have today.
COHEN: But if it comes down to it, would you be willing to sacrifice and take menthol out of the equation if that's the only way to get the rest of it passed?
Representative CHRISTENSEN: We're working together as the CBC to come up with the strongest language possible that will not kill the bill.
COHEN: The company that makes Newport menthol cigarettes, it's a very popular brand, has been urging its customers to call on Congress and to...
Representative CHRISTENSEN: And they have been calling.
COHEN: Yeah. They've been calling you.
Representative CHRISTENSEN: Yes.
COHEN: What have people been saying?
Representative CHRISTENSEN: Well, they're advising against a ban on menthol or any stronger language around menthol.
COHEN: What would you say to African-American constituents who say, look, this is my decision, and I don't want the government interfering with menthol cigarettes? What would your response be?
Representative CHRISTENSEN: I think, you know, I'm a health care provider. I've been a public health administrator. And we have banned other things that have proven to be injurious to health. And so I think the health of the public comes first. But we have to remember that African-Americans are exposed, and other people of color and poor people are exposed to a number of environmental hazards. I'm an anti-smoking advocate, period. So menthol is just a part of it, but I would be happy to have everyone stop smoking.
COHEN: Donna M. Christensen is the Democratic Congresswoman from the Virgin Islands. We've been speaking to her about recent tobacco legislation. Thank you very much.
Representative CHRISTENSEN: Thank you very much, Alex.

Hometown Desi
South Asian Culture in the Pacific Northwest
South Asian immigration to the Pacific Northwest stretches back more than a century and includes a huge range of cultural and religious groups, economic circumstances, and community experiences: from Sikh mill workers driven out of Bellingham in 1907, to UW graduate students arriving from India and Pakistan in the 1960s, to Bhutanese refugees settling in Burien today. Hometown Desi explores the traditions and values people have brought from South Asia, how those traditions have evolved in the U.S., and the way younger generations are weaving their cultural heritage into new identities as South Asian Americans.

Mission and Vision
To achieve our mission, the SCDAC/AAFC supports the development and growth of member organizations across Canada and facilitate the collaborative efforts of member organizations.
The SCDAC/AAFC also encourages the establishment of coordinated clinical services and research initiatives that will support SCD treatments and efforts toward a cure. We believe that attracting clinical and research expertise to undertake and further the study of SCD research in Canadian universities and healthcare settings is essential, and we support these initiatives.
Strategic Plan
The Sickle Cell Disease Association of Canada/Association D'Anémie Falciforme Du Canada (SCDAC/AAFC) undertook a formal strategic planning process to develop a simple, measurable roadmap to guide SCDAC/AAFC and its member organizations in both their programming and governance, through the years 2013 to 2018.
SCDAC/AAFC serves Canadians at three levels- nationally, provincially and locally. It currently has 6 members also referred to as provincial chapters. Some of the provincial chapters also have additional structures known as regions
Who do we serve?
• Individuals living with Sickle Cell Disease
• Family members (immediate and extended) and friends of individuals living with Sickle Cell Disease
• The health care providers – both medical and allied health professionals
• The community representatives- daycare workers, teachers, employers and others
• Individuals living with Sickle Cell Trait and their families.
The SCDAC/AAFC represents:
• Patients with SCD
• Parents and families (immediate and extended) of patients with SCD
• SCD Carriers (often called those with sickle cell trait)
• Provincial, regional and municipal sickle cell organizations
• Health Care Professionals
• Educators & Advocates
• Community representatives
SCDAC/AAFC currently has one class of membership
Voting membership shall be available to organizations which have applied and have been accepted for Stakeholder Group membership in the Corporation. An organization shall be admitted as a provincial member in accordance with any policies or procedures the board may establish from time to time.
The term of membership of a member organization shall be annual, subject to renewal in accordance with the policies of the Board.
Each member organization is entitled to receive notice of, attend and vote at all meetings of members of the Corporation, and shall be entitled to one (1) vote at such meetings.
Organizations supporting persons with sickle cell disease (SCD) across Canada are invited and encouraged to apply for stakeholder membership to the SCDAC/AAFC.
Benefits of membership may include:
Local advocacy for members organizations with governmental and non-governmental agencies
Resource support for member organizations on development and governance matters
Facilitation of local and distance learning, training, and capacity building opportunities.
SCDAC/AAFC currently has 6 member organizations spanning 4 provinces.

Organizations and associations advocating for persons with sickle cell disease are primarily patient/family support groups and managed by dedicated volunteers with the support of local health care professionals. These groups work diligently to raise awareness about sickle cell disease and also to identify gaps in education and resources that sickle cell patients, their families and supporters still experience. Each organization has had successes and challenges, and to date, these have been limited to their own province or territory alone. For some time, the importance of having the opportunity to advocate for persons with sickle cell disease on a national level with a collective, unifying voice has been shown as needed.
A national body, the newly-established Sickle Cell Disease Association of Canada, can provide such a voice.
Beginning in 2006, a group of Sickle Cell Disease advocates began to meet with the aim of establishing a national body that would advocate effectively for individuals with sickle cell disease and their families and promote efforts to establish a national program of coordinated, comprehensive care supports known to be effective for successful management of sickle cell disease across the lifespan.
As an initial step, an interim organization name, the Sickle Cell Foundation of Canada (SCFC) was established and registered, and the monumental task of reaching out to patient and family support groups across Canada begun.
In 2011, with revitalized efforts from Ms. Tunji-Ajayi and Dr. Isaac Odame, the movement experienced renewed energy and a significant milestone was reached on April 14th 2012 when the first face-to-face business meeting and teleconference involving of Sickle Cell associations across Canada was held in Toronto.
Today, the corporate efforts of Sickle Cell advocacy groups are represented under a single umbrella organization, the Sickle Cell Disease Association of Canada/ Association d'Anémie Falciforme du Canada (SCDAC/AAFC)
We wish to formally recognize the participants in the August 2011 SCFC revitalization effort and business meeting and teleconference. We also wish to highlight and recognize the special efforts of Dr. Isaac Odame, Mr. John Adams, Ms. Lanre Tunji-Ajayi (Face to Face Meeting Planning Chair), and Mr. Bodun Macaulay in the coordination and implementation of this historic meeting.

Marika Mouscardy
I would like to share a part of my personal experience, in order to spare other parents the surprise of discovering they are the carrier of the gene of a sickness which threatens the very life of each child that inherits it.
Sickle Cell Disease had been vaguely mentioned during my childhood school years, until I heard about it again over four years ago. It was my sister's phone call; which pushed me to investigate my genetics more. When I was over eight months pregnant, my sister told me she was a carrier of the Sickle Cell gene.
Many years ago, during a routine medical appointment, her doctor informed her that the systematic blood test taken to detect the Sickle Cell gene ended up being positive.
My husband and I, then had not expected to need such a blood test, but after following my sister's advice, we learnt from our respective doctors that we were both carriers of the sickle cell gene. My pregnancy ended in the anguish of fearing that my baby could have 25 % chances of having Sickle Cell Disease. It became a reality to us, when my son was a month and half old, he was diagnosed with Sickle Cell Disease at Montreal's Ste-Justine Hospital.
The shock was hard to bear, even though I am now used to our new routine and attentive to any of my son's symptoms, I felt the need to inform my close ones, the daycare providers and all the persons that are on a daily or regular basis with him to attend his needs.
Nevertheless, the Canadian population should know about Sickle Cell Disease and the importance of having a systematic blood test (hemoglobin electrophoresis test)-to identify carriers as well as potential patients. Newborn screening as well is a major initiative to equip parents who are carriers. It will help to know early enough if the child has sickle cell disease
Beverly N.
My name is Beverly. I am a 27 years old and living with Sickle Cell Disease. I work as an x-ray technologist, and am also in pursuit of my passion in life, which is acting. I grew up in a small town called Brandon, Manitoba. I was not diagnosed with SCD until I had my very first crisis at the age of two. If it weren't for the knowledge of a doctor my father had known from Nigeria, I could confidently say that I might not be here today, for back then, people were unaware of the manifestation of Sickle Cell.
Of my five siblings two of us were born with SCD. Unfortunately my little sister passed away from complication at the tender age of seven. I had my fair struggles with the disease growing up, countless hospital visits and pain episodes that made no sense to me at the time. My parents always encouraged me to participate in after school activities such as dance and gymnastics to the best of my abilities. I didn't fully understand my limitations until high school.
A hospital visit in particular made me miss a couple end of the year exams. When I returned to school to talk with my teachers, I realized how weird it was that I myself couldn't answer questions about my own disease. This is when I realized how important it was that I educate myself to better my lifestyle of living. Watching my sister grow up and seeing how SCD affected her, opened my eyes to the wide spectrum of how it affects different individuals.
I'm currently living in Winnipeg MB, working on my dreams and goals in life and sustaining a healthy living. This year I've been blessed with the opportunity to further my advocacy for people living with Sickle Cell Disease, and I very much plan on continuing along this path. It's not favorable to have been born with this disease. But, I believe Sickle Cell patients are some of the strongest people alive. So this is something I will never be ashamed of. I think if we can all come together as a community, and one voice, it gives us all our well-deserved chance to fight back and take control

Reports: Fan jumps or falls from upper deck in Oakland
A fan plummeted from the upper deck at the Oakland Raiders' home game Thursday, and he was hospitalized in serious condition, according to multiple media reports.
The Oakland Tribune reported that the fan apparently jumped, but other reports indicated that the fan fell. Team and police officials did not release the name of the fan or other details.
It was also unclear whether the incident at O.co Coliseum in Oakland happened before or during the game, which the Raiders lost 26-13 to the Denver Broncos.
The Raiders issued a statement that included no specific information about the incident but said, "(The team's) thoughts and prayers are with this gentleman and his family and friends."

Following up on a theme we've discussed before about certain people having access to trading options that you—the retail investor—do not, we figured we'd talk today about the Securities and Exchange Commission and its approved practice of insider trading among its employees.
You see, at the SEC, insider trading is not only allowed; it's required.
The Rule
Employees at the Securities and Exchange Commission cannot own stock in a company that they are about to investigate. According to the SEC, this creates a conflict of interest that would incentivize the SEC employee to less aggressively conduct the investigation and possible ignore securities law infractions knowing that he or she owns stock in the company and bring such violations to light could possibly cause their stock to go down.
So, to avoid this alleged conflict of interest, the SEC requires that all employees who are about to conduct an investigation on a company, sell any direct ownership they have in the company prior to commencing the investigation.
On its face, this might make sense. We do, after all, want to have attorneys and what have you at the SEC approaching their job as regulators with just as much veracity as they would under any circumstances. However, simply announcing an investigation will almost surely drop a company's stock price and if you or I knew of a pending SEC investigation in any company in which we owned stock, and we sold prior to the announcement of that investigation, we'd be committing a violation of securities law.
You see, lots of people are in possession of non-public information about a certain company (or several) and we have laws in place that stop them from taking advantage of this privileged information even if pretending like they know nothing is going to cost them money. The SEC should be bound by the same rules we all are.
Others have the Same Predicament
There are other people who have access to non-public information that could be tied to financial incentives and doing their job could be influenced by their financial incentives. Journalists are a good example. For many of these people, the answer to their ethical quandary is to simply not directly own public stock, or make use of blind trusts.
The SEC has claimed that enforcing a rule the prohibits its employees from owning stock in publicly traded companies would place a huge disincentive on working at the SEC and would make requirement more difficult. I'd argue that most SEC employees do it for the employment clout they pick up while working there for a few years but ignoring this for a minute there are other options.
The blind trust option is a good one and one that should be used more commonly among government officials and employees. Surprisingly not many government employees beyond the President actually use one.
The concept is simple. An individual places money into a trust and a trustee (generally with a professional investment background) makes trading decisions based on basic direction from the individual. The SEC could simply set up a service to its employees that would allow them to own public stock without having direction knowledge or influence on those investments.
Ultimately employees are the SEC are not all that unique in their access to insider information. And trading based on that information is illegal as the law the already states. For the SEC to impose an internal rule that is in direct violation of the law under the claim that it avoids conflicts of interest is an imposition of authority not granted to the SEC and such a policy needs revision.

Blue 'Sophia' bandeau evening dress is rated out of 5 by 5.
Rated 4 out of 5 by cadmium from Felt like a million dollars, but need extra fixings! This is a beautiful dress the only downside is the satin lining, although it looks fantastic, does make the dress slip down if you are wearing it strapless. I would advise lingerie tape (double sided) to hold it up. The straps provided are very narrow but ok.

About the authorChelsea Handler was born in Livingston, New Jersey, and has toured the US doing stand-up as one of the stars on Oxygen's Girls Behaving Badly, as well as appearing on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. She now presents her own show, Chelsea Lately, and is the author of My Horizontal Life. She lives in Los Angeles.
Chelsea Handler is a woman on a mission. She's smart, sassy and not afraid to speak her mind. From an early age Chelsea knew exactly what she wanted and even in the trickiest of situations, she's never one to pass up an opportunity. Like the time she convinced her third-grade class she was shooting movies with Goldie Hawn on location in the Galapagos just to get them to
like her, or when she spent the night in a women's prison, contemplating an affair with the inmate who killed her own sister. Chelsea it seems, has done it all, and a whole lot more ...
Any mishaps along the way just spur Chelsea on further. Whether she is being dry-humped by a sumo masseur, dumped by her Big Red experiment or kicked out of a London restaurant with her pants down, Chelsea is always armed with an unshakeable disregard for rules and is incapable of leading a quiet life.
Are You There Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea is an entertaining memoir-in-stories that will have you rolling around with laughter.less

Relible DC SEO
Search engine optimization (SEO) is among the best methods of connecting with targeted consumers to share what you have to offer. However, the task of putting an effective SEO strategy into place is not easy or straightforward. In fact, the research and implementation processes can be downright overwhelming. This is particularly true with all of the updates to the SEO ranking algorithm at Google. As such, a number of business owners have made the decision to hire a good SEO service.
Making the decision hire an SEO service is huge. This has the potential to save time and improve your website. However, there is also the risk of this decision causing great damage to your website and your reputation. As such, it is important to be aware of the benefits of SEO and the drawbacks of hiring a less than reputable SEO service. Below are some of the useful services provided by SEO professionals:
• Content or structure review of the website
• Keyword research
• Development of content
• Technical recommendations on website development like use of JavaScript redirects, hosting and error pages
• Expertise in particular geographies and markets.
• Management of Internet-based development campaigns
• SEO training
If you are considering hiring an SEO service, there is no time like the present. However, the most ideal time is when you are thinking about redesigning your website. Another ideal opportunity is when you are planning on launching a new site. Doing this, you would be able to collaborate with your SEO service provider to ensure your website is optimally designed, from the bottom up, to be search engine-friendly. Additionally, a good SEO professional can assist in improving an existing website.
Make sure you ask your SEO service useful questions like:
• Do you abide by the guidelines set by the Google Webmaster?
• Can you share some success stories and show me samples of work you have previously done?
• What type of outcome are you expecting and how soon do you expect them?
• How is success measured?
• How long have you been operating this type of business?
• What is your industry experience?
• How experienced are you in developing international sites?
• Have you worked with anyone in my city?
• Can we discuss your most vital SEO techniques?
• Are you willing to share all the changes made to my website with me?
• Are you willing to provide detailed data regarding your recommendations and how you arrive at them?
• What is the most effective way to reach you?
Why Do You Need Good SEO Service?
Below are some specific answers to the question why do you need good SEO service:
It Works
There is still great value in the techniques used to boost SEO. Although different aspects of optimization have changed over the years, the techniques have remained sound. You will achieve more organic traffic and higher positioning, as long as focus is placed on optimum user experience while methodical SEO strategies are being carried out.
It Will Continue to Work for a Long Time
Based on the clear development trends of search engines, it is quite unlikely that SEO will lose its effectiveness in the foreseeable future. In some ways, even video and audio searches are ultimately dependent on keywords similar to conventional text-based content. For as long as it exists, this association helps to ensure the ongoing success of SEO techniques.
Increased Market Share
A number of studies have indicated that between 80% and 90% of consumers look at online reviews before spending their money. A steady increase of this percentage is expected. It seems like before long, practically everyone will be searching online for products and services. If there is no organic SEO in place, potential customers will have a difficult time or be unable to locate your business. They will simply find your more visible competitors and make their purchase elsewhere.
It is Cost-effective
In comparison to the associated costs of social media marketing, buying leads for email marketing campaigns, PPC advertising or other online marketing techniques, optimization offers a relatively good return on investment. There is no denying the power of PPC to drive revenue. Additionally, social media marketing can work wonders for your image. However, this does not change the fact that SEO is still a solid base on which you can build your online presence.
Prevalence of Mobile Bandwidth: Its Effect on Local Search Optimization
For some time, the volume of traffic delivered to conventional desktop devices has paled in comparison to what is delivered to their mobile counterparts. Simply put, there has been a dramatic explosion in the use of mobile technology. As such, many companies now have an entirely new domain of effective SEO techniques opened up to them.
It is Being Successfully Done by Your competitors
SEO is an ongoing process. If a company is not advancing and improving their position, they are losing ground to competitors who are getting things done. That is a proven fact of how the procedure works. It is important not to allow your competitors to out maneuver you. This can be prevented by not ignoring this extremely effective tool for your business.
It is Risky to Be Without a Healthy Content Profile
Each update of their search algorithm creates a change in the way search engines like Google look at websites. Social media indicators and other factors that did not exist in the past have now attained tremendous importance as it concern how your website ranks.
It could be potentially damaging if a healthy content profile is not in place, spread out over months and years. This is among the factors evaluated by Google when they look at your website.
Nowadays, investing in a good SEO service is more vital than ever before. This, in spite of the current challenges everyone seems to be facing concerning the deficiency of organic traffic and keyword data. Undoubtedly, your business needs to implement an SEO strategy, if you are interested in achieving online marketing success. SEO is still among the most essential elements of the online presence and branding efforts of any organization.

What conflict rages in Macbeth after he hears the witches' prophecy (Macbeth)?
- print Print
- list Cite
After hearing the prophecy of the witches in Act One (of Shakespeare's Macbeth), Macbeth faces a very dire internal conflict. (Internal conflict is the one a person fights within themself in regards to their morality and knowledge of right and wrong.) Macbeth, soon after hearing the prophecy, decides that only chance can crown him.
If chance will have me king, why, chance may crown me,
Without my stir.
Unfortunately for Macbeth, the conflict between his ambition and his sense of right and wrong come to a head. Macbeth wants to be King, but he is not sure if murdering Duncan to gain the crown is worth the murder. Macbeth's ambition drives him to claim the crown, but his morality forces him to consider what is right and what is wrong. In the end, Macbeth's ambition wins out over what is right.
To prick the sides of my intent, but only
Vaulting ambition, which o'erleaps itself
And falls on the other.
In the beginning, Macbeth acknowledges that it would not be right to murder Duncan to gain the crown. It is not until he is pressured by his wife, Lady Macbeth, and his ambition grows that he begins to really desire the crown, regardless of the morality of murder.

The Breakfast Briefing
That rally certainly came out of left field. Now topping it will be the hard part.
Stocks registered their biggest advance of the year after J.P. Morgan Chase shocked the world by announcing early that the Federal Reserve approved its plan to return capital to shareholders. The bank boosted its dividend and authorized a pretty healthy stock buyback.
The timing of it all surprised investors and sent bank stocks soaring, which ignited a broad-market rally.
Once the dust settled, the Dow Jones Industrial Average surged 218 points and closed at its highest level since December 2007. The blue chips are back above 13000 and sit less than 7% away their all-time highs.
Meanwhile, the S&P 500 is knocking at 1400's door and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Comp finished above 3000 for the first time in more than 11 years.
"At this point, this market is starting to defy all odds," says Michael Church, president of Addison Capital, an investment-management firm.
Bank stocks were the big winners, with J.P. Morgan's 7% advance taking center stage. The S&P 500's financial sector jumped 3.9% and is now up 18% this year. The official unveiling of the Fed's stress test results after the market closed — 48 hours earlier than originally scheduled — has paved the way for more some of the nation's biggest banks to raise dividends and authorize stock buybacks.
But not all banks enjoyed the festivities. Four financial institutions, including Citigroup, failed to meet minimum stress-test criteria. Citigroup shares took a drubbing in after-hours trading, falling 3.3% after finishing the regular session up 6.3%.
Overshadowed during the stress-test mania was the immediate reaction to the Fed statement. Central bankers didn't take any new policy action, acknowledged the labor market is improving and maintained any uptick in inflation will be temporary.
The Fed cautioned economic risks remain, but didn't shed much light on potential stimulus plans. Treasury yields immediately jumped to 2012 highs, while stocks held decent gains immediately following the announcement.
"QE3 is not off the table, but the Fed is clearly in wait-and-see mode," says Kathy Jones, a fixed income strategist at Charles Schwab. "The better the economic numbers, the higher the bar gets for the Fed to do anything more. But at this point, I certainly wouldn't rule it out."
Add it up and the script for stocks looks fairly bullish. The economy is improving, the Fed will act if the recovery hits any potholes and many big banks have been given the green light to return value to shareholders.
But the one big risk contrarian investors keep pointing to is the slumping stock market fear gauge. The CBOE's Volatility index, or VIX, has dropped 29% over the last week and yesterday flirted near a five-year low before finishing at 14.80.
VIX uses options pricing to measure the market's expectations for future swings in the S&P 500. As the price to pay for portfolio protection has become extraordinarily cheap, the big fear is investors are becoming too complacent during this market rally.
"Anytime the VIX drops below 15 you have to start looking over your shoulder," says Mr. Church of Addison Capital. "I would not be surprised if we start to see the market take a breather here."

Stocks to Watch
Citigroup, MetLife Inc. and SunTrust Banks shares declined in evening trading after the firms failed a Federal Reserve stress test.
BB&T Corp. said late Tuesday it hiked its quarterly dividend 25% to 20 cents a share following a Federal Reserve stress test. The bank said the Federal Reserve did not have any objections to its capital action in 2012 following the stress test.
FXCM Inc. is expected to report a fourth-quarter earnings of 17 cents a share on revenue of $94.9 million, according to a survey of analysts by FactSet Research.

I only like classic names. I do like them to have a pioneer-sounding twist, though. We knew we wanted something old-fashioned but not stuffy. Short, sweet, but not boring. I've always loved the name Eliza. Rose is my mom's middle name.
I fell in love with the name Henry years ago when I happened to read two books back-to-back with the main characters named Henry. It's the only boy name DH and I have ever agreed on, which is why we're completely stuck on middle names. I'm sure we'll land on one at some point.

"If you never pictured yourself as someone who'd go to a wine event, you should still consider coming to Unwined," says Club W founder Xander Oxman. "It's going to be more of a party than a wine tasting." That's in line with Club W's purpose, which is to introduce wine to a younger crowd more interested in DJs and dancing than Wine Spectator and the convoluted terms that accompany wine tasting. "We want to make wine more accessible and more enjoyable for people without browbeating them with wine jargon and serving them $200 bottles of wine that they'll never buy."
You'll enjoy food from a dozen of the city's best food trucks, DJs like Clay Meador and Peter Black spinning tunes, and wine, of course — but even that isn't quite what you'd expect. "Most of the producers and importers represented at the event will be there in person," Oxman says, "so it won't be a distributor or a local sales rep. You'll be able to really talk to the guy responsible for putting the juice in the bottle."
If you like this story, consider signing up for our email newsletters.

Unwined starts at 7 p.m. tonight at the Exdo Event Center, 1399 35th Street; admission is $60 and includes all-you-can-handle wine and food. Visit www.clubw.com/unwined to learn more or purchase tickets.

2013 is over and it's time to wrap up the expenses for the year with the December numbers. With lots of merrymaking, meeting up with friends and family, Dec is also the month which I have spent the most (excluding vacation expenses) since I started recording expenses again some months ago. We spent $4,087.38 this month, buying gifts, hosting dinners and having a jolly good time.
Below is the detailed breakdown for this month's expenses:
Eating Out: $828.40
Hawker ($273.55) – Pretty standard, although slightly above the norm.
Fast Food ($38) – 2 to 3 Mac meals each and a couple of Subway sandwiches.
Restaurants ($516.85) – A Dim Sum treat for Mrs 15HWW's family, and a dinner @Ichiban with my siblings and a month of meeting up with friends and families at poshier places all adds up.
Groceries: $87.20
Supermarket ($25.50) – Abnormally low since we are using up vouchers that were given to us as housewarming gifts.
Wet Market ($19.50) – One trip to the wet market since we are out on most evenings during this month.
Bakery ($29.20) – Lifestyle inflation since both of us are having "nicer" breakfasts in the office.
Baking ($13) – Some simple supplies from Phoon Huat as Mrs 15HWW made some tiramisu during Christmas.
Beverages & Snacks: $46.50
Beverages ($28) – Mrs 15HWW made a visit to Timbre for some drinks with her friends
Snacks ($18.50) – A dessert treat for the both of us at this Nana Japanese place.
Utilities: $146.51
Electricity, Gas & Water ($87.78) – Pretty consistent and fair for a 5-room flat. The rainy season helps to lower energy costs to cool down the flat.
Cellphones ($58.73) – Two M1 iPhone Value+ plans with no excess usage.
Transport: $184.4
3 cab trips, 2 EZ Reload transactions for her and 1 for me.
Departmental: $83
Clothing ($50) – One top and a pair of shoes for the lady
Personal Items ($4) – A short trip to Daiso.
Toys ($29) – Bought a soft toy from Craftholic for Mrs 15HWW which she had craved for more than a year.
Miscellaneous: $488.85
Others ($198.80) – Hosted a group of friends for Christmas and ordered some food for the event. We also hired a part-time cleaner who helped us with some spring cleaning.
Gifts ($290.05) – Deserves a separate column this time. Christmas presents took up the bulk of these expenses.
Insurance/Medical: $252.52
Both of us went for a thorough health screening. My idea of a Christmas present for us. =p Especially since the last comprehensive one I had was probably the pre-NS screening while she never ever did one. 😮 And luckily, except for some minor issues, a clean bill of health was declared for us.
Total: $2,117.38
Overall Total: $4,087.38 (included fixed expenses of $1,970)
If we add up Aug to Dec's expenses and spread it all out, we have spent about $3,840 a month on average in the 2nd half of 2013.
Although it's above the $3,500 I need to keep under $40,000 for a full year (part of my 2014 goals), the consolation is that I ain't really that far away from $3,500. Perhaps cut down by another 10%? Anyway, since I am pretty serious at maintaining this recording of expenses for the full year in 2014, we should be able to find out around 365 days later. =)

The Praxinoscope was an animation device, created in France in 1877. It used a strip of pictures placed around the inner surface of a spinning cylinder, with a series of mirrors positioned to give the effect of a moving image as the device rotated.
The Phasmatrope was the first creation to present a sense of movement to a large audience at once. Images are placed around a metal disc which was rotated by hand crank to position each image briefly in the beam of the projector lamp.
The Zoopraxiscope was created in 1879, and used a disc similar to that of the Phasmatrope to project a sequence of images. It used glass discs with hand painted images, some of which were very complicated.
