PHOTO: Jamaica Gleaner
There is very good news from Jamaica. LGBT activists on the island are hopeful after the December 29 election of People's National Party leader Portia Simpson-Miller. The former opposition leader and incoming prime minister came out for gay rights during a televised debate.
Simpson-Miller previously served as Jamaica's prime minister from March 2006 to September 2007, and was the first woman in that role.
Watch Simpson-Miller's historic remarks AFTER THE JUMP ...
Simpson-Miller made the comments during a December 20 debate with Jamaica Labour Party leader Prime Minister Andrew Holness. Both candidates were asked if they were willing to appoint gays to their cabinet. Simpson-Miller's transcript as follows:
"Our administration believes in protecting the human rights of all Jamaicans. No one should be demonstrated against because of their sexual orientation. Government should provide protection. We should take a look at the buggery law. Members of parliament should be able to vote based on their conscience after consultation with their constituents. But for me, I support the [appointment of people] based on their abilities. ... I have no intention of prying in the personal business of anyone."
The question was in response to former Prime Minister Bruce Golding's infamous 2008 statement that he would never appoint a gay person to his cabinet. PM Holness first avoided answering the question directly, but then noted that most Jamaicans were against appointing gays to public office.
Simpson-Miller's remarks on the nation's "buggery" laws come during the first-ever legal challenge to Jamaica's sodomy laws. Although rarely enforced, the law mandates imprisonment of "up to ten years ... for the abominable crime of buggery."
The international advocacy organization AIDS-Free World has petitioned the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) on behalf of two Jamaican gay men. HIV/AIDS advocates estimate that almost one third of men who have sex with men are HIV positive, compared to a rate of 1.6 percent in the general population. Many experts believe that the island's homophobic culture and sodomy laws discourage MSM from being tested and/or seeking treatment for HIV.
Sodomy laws in several Caribbean nations, such as Belize, are also being challenged. British PM David Cameron has asked African, Asian and Caribbean nations in the Commonwealth to decriminalize same-sex relations in an effort to fight rampant HIV rates across the global south.

UnNews:Redundant UnNews article announces rewrite of HowTo:Tune up an UnNews article
This article is part of UnNews, your source for up-to-the-microsecond misinformation.
10 March 2010
UNCYCLOMEDIA, UnNewsroom -- Journalism students at universities across the globe are celebrating today as UnNews releases its definitive guide to great writing, HowTo:Tune up an UnNews article. Originally produced by UnNews in 1967 as a gag, the HowTo slowly evolved into its current incarnation, a masterpiece of the ""For Dummies" genre.
The official party line at Uncyclopedia on the documents publication is:
- Contributors: The rules haven't changed, but they're now written down in one place. Please review the Style Guide and take from it what you can about writing quality humor that looks like news.
One UnNews staffer said, "I was so tired of people telling me I write like a retarded marsupial. Then I read HowTo:Tune up an UnNews article, and overnight, I was inundated with praise of my new found ability."
Another staffer told this reporter, "HowTo:Tune up an UnNews article changed my life. I went from being a 97 pound weakling to 209 pounds of pure, Grade A American beef. Oh no, wait, that was steroids."
The film rights are being discussed with Steven Spielberg now, but the editors are negotiating a potential deal with a major New Delhi studio as a back up plan. "With a script like this, it's a sellers market," said Editor-in-chief Bernard Apoplexy.

Venerable John Henry Newman, C.O., wrote the following meditation:
Hope in God—Creator
"1. God has created all things for good; all things for their greatest good; everything for its own good. What is the good of one is not the good of another; what makes one man happy would make another unhappy. God has determined, unless I interfere with His plan, that I should reach that which will be my greatest happiness. He looks on me individually, He calls me by my name, He knows what I can do, what I can best be, what is my greatest happiness, and He means to give it me.
2. God knows what is my greatest happiness, but I do not. There is no rule about what is happy and good; what suits one would not suit another. And the ways by which perfection is reached vary very much; the medicines necessary for our souls are very different from each other. Thus God leads us by strange ways; we know He wills our happiness, but we neither know what our happiness is, nor the way. We are blind; left to ourselves we should take the wrong way; we must leave it to Him.
3. Let us put ourselves into His hands, and not be startled though He leads us by a strange way, a mirabilis via, as the Church speaks. Let us be sure He will lead us right, that He will bring us to that which is, not indeed what we think best, nor what is best for another, but what is best for us.
Colloquy. O, my God, I will put myself without reserve into Thy hands. Wealth or woe, joy or sorrow, friends or bereavement, honour or humiliation, good report or ill report, comfort or discomfort, Thy presence or the hiding of Thy countenance, all is good if it comes from Thee. Thou art wisdom and Thou art love—what can I desire more? Thou hast led me in Thy counsel, and with glory hast Thou received me. What have I in heaven, and apart from Thee what want I upon earth? My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the God of my heart, and my portion for ever. "

Grizzlies dominate second half
AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP) — The Grizzlies needed one half to figure out the Pistons.
Once Memphis realized that Detroit couldn't hit a jumper, the Grizzlies packed the paint on defense and outscored the Pistons by 33 points in the second half on the way to a 112-84 victory.
Zach Randolph finished with 16 points and 16 rebounds for Memphis.
"We were struggling against their post players in the first half, so we made an adjustment and really tried to take away the paint," Grizzlies coach David Joerger said. "They were playing zone against us, but Zach was able to get inside and disrupt things, and that opened up some kick-out shots to our 3-point shooters."
Detroit lost its fourth straight and fifth in a row at home. The Pistons are now 4-10 after a 10-10 start.
"This is most definitely an emergency right now," Brandon Jennings said. "It is slipping away from us. You start questioning if everyone is willing to sacrifice and do the things that we need to win games."
Pistons coach Maurice Cheeks met with his players after the game to try to find a solution.
"I'm trying to get some insight from them, and we'll talk more tomorrow," he said. "When things happen like this, and we don't have any ball movement, that's on me. I have to find a way to do that."
Detroit missed 16 of 20 second-half jump shots, managing just 28 points after a 56-point first half. Jennings went 0-for-7 in the half.
"Right now, for some reason, we're just a first-half team," Jennings said. "We aren't coming out with the same energy in the second half, and we've got to find out why. This is ridiculous right now."
Memphis got a big game off the bench from second-year player Jon Leuer, who had 23 points and eight rebounds in 21 minutes.
"Jon did a great job last year of honing his game all through the season — he was still working hard in March and April when a lot of players have hit the rookie wall," Joerger said. "This year, he's taken things another step, and you can see where it has paid off. He's got the shot fake that can set up a drive, and he's doing more things off the pick-and-roll."
Memphis had six players in double figures, including 15 from former Piston Tayshaun Prince.
Prince acknowledged that he gets a boost from returning to the building where he won the 2004 championship.
"It's always special," he said. "You always have some incentive to hopefully go out there and get a team win. This team does a great job that when someone is facing their former team, everyone steps up to help them."
Greg Monroe led Detroit with 19 points, while Andre Drummond added 15 points and 14 rebounds. But they combined for only eight points in the second half.
"It definitely hurt playing like that in the second half," Drummond said. "To let them come out and do that — that's definitely tough to swallow."
The Grizzlies continued to alternate wins and losses, going 3-2 in their last five without back-to-back victories or defeats.
Both teams were short-handed in the backcourt. Detroit's Rodney Stuckey (shoulder) missed his second straight game, while Tony Allen (hand) was added to a lengthy Memphis injury list.
NOTES: The game was played in front of a very small crowd, with a winter storm dumping up to a foot of snow in the Detroit area. The Pistons played a special video on the scoreboard during the third quarter, thanking the fans for coming out on such a nasty day. … Prince received an ovation during pregame introductions. Prince was playing his second game as a visiting player at the Palace after being traded to Memphis last season. … Memphis wore its home white jerseys with Detroit wearing its Sunday navy blue "Motor City" third uniforms. … Brandon Jennings and Ed Davis picked up technicals for trash talking during the fourth quarter.

Is the wear and tear of the campaign, combined with increasing pressure to drop out getting to Rick Santorum?
The scene is this: Santorum had just given a speech talking about how Romney was the "worst Republican" to run against Obama.
After the speech, NYT reporter Jeff Zeleny asked him to clarify the comments, at which point Santorum flipped out, complaining that Zeleny had misheard the speech and that all Santorum was talking about was how Romney was the "worst Republican" to run against Obama on the issue of healthcare. He then said that if he saw an unfavorable version of the quote in the paper, that it would be "bullshit."
All that being said, Santorum does have a point in that he's been misquoted a lot in this campaign by reporters looking to twist his words into something sinister and whacko-sounding. But in this case, it's hard to see what Zeleny asked that merited the flip-out.
Santorum also seems to be trying to make a little hay out of the issue. According to CBS' Mosheh Oinounou he says this morning: "If you haven't cursed out a New York Times reporter during the course of a campaign, you aren't a real Republican."
NYT reporter Jeff Zeleny responds to Santorum's blow-up in the video below:

The Visual Art of Craft Beer Part 1 – My Top 5
There has been quite a few stories in the beer press lately that have really got me thinking about beer artwork. There's the new look of Red Hook (check out this post on Washington Beer blog), a new label design for one of my favorite beers of all time – Stone Imperial Russian Stout (see this post at beernews.org), the North Coast Brewing logo upgrade (the old logo has always been a favorite of mine) and most notably the new Upright Brewing Four Play label that has been subject to much controversy (please check out this article on Beervana).
When I first started thinking about it I was leaning toward the fact that there really aren't that many labels/logos out there that are especially noteworthy. There's a few that really jumped out at me right way, but for the most part…far too many exist that fail to catch my attention. But, the more I thought about it, the more I discussed it with friends, the more epiphanies I had and the more I realized just how wrong I was.
There's actually a lot of breweries out there that are putting serious attention toward their image. Clearly, this isn't surprising. Anyone possessing even the slightest bit of entrepreneurial savvy knows how important branding can be to creating a successful business. Here, in my Visual Art of Craft Beer Series, I plan to discuss some of my favorites. Hopefully, in doing so, I will open up the floor for debate. I'm sure there are a bunch out there that I either don't know about or have simply overlooked. Unfortunately, I won't be able to present them all in this initial article, so the debate just may have to wait. Start thinking about your choices now and see if I end up agreeing with you.
The following is my top 5. This is not limited to logo alone. I feel that if it were, the scope of this exercise would be drastically diminished. This includes not only the straight forward logo of a brewery but the labels of all, most, or some of their bottles/cans/mini-kegs/what-have-you.
5) Three Floyds Brewing – FFF does not mess around. They make some of the most unique beers in the country and their labels follow suit. In may ways, they remind me of Garbage Pail Kids. All have a comic book/cartoon like quality. Some are lighthearted and humorous, others are dark and disturbing, all are well designed and fun to look at. I'm not sure whether I like the Clockwork Orange themed Moloko Stout, Zombie Dust, or the Dark Lord (above) the best. No matter how you look at it, they are all undeniably bad ass.
4) Southern Tier Brewing – The logo above isn't very glamorous, and it by no means is the sole reason why I have put STB in the number 4 position, but I must say that I'm a very big fan of it. I find it to be very slick, clean and simple, yet highly effective. The tools of the trade encircled by the ingredients of the trade. Classic. I've often thought of having a variation of that logo tattooed on myself. Good logo aside, the continuity and simplicity of all of STB's label designs is so well done that I wouldn't be the slightest bit surprised to find them being celebrated in HOW Magazine (or something similar).
3) New Belgium Brewing Lips of Faith Series – Take a minute to gaze upon the above image. Tell me you wouldn't want a full size print of that framed and mounted in your living room. It's beautiful…and it's just a beer label. I could have posted a picture of almost any LoF label and it would be equally stunning. Whomever is behind this is really doing fabulous work. Give them a raise.
2) Stone Brewing Co. – This logo is absolutely unmistakable. It may not be number one on my list but it's very possibly the number one most recognizable beer logo in craft brewing. It's bold, like Stone beers and the attitude of the owners/brewers. If you've ever taken the time to read the lengthy, screen printed text on any of Stone's 22oz bottles, you know just what I mean. Stone is hard fucking core and their dark, devious mascot exemplifies that to the t.
1) Flying Dog Brewery – Can someone please explain to me how FDB got Ralph Steadman to illustrate all of their imagery?!?! Whether you like his style or not, this has to be the most lauded, continual collaborative effort between a brewery and a world-famous artist of all time.
Yeah, I guess I do sort of get how FDB pulled this off. Supposedly the owners of the brewery were friends with Hunter S. Thompson. It's quite clear that his influence is felt throughout much of FDB's advertising and marketing campaign. Since Ralph Steadman is most famous for his work with Hunter S. Thompson, in lies the connection. God knows how much money they must dish out for his work, but I for one thing it's worth every penny.
March 25, 2011 at 3:56 pm
Got to say that Hair of the Dog has the best logo. So classic, unmistakable and crest-like. Plus, it has a character. How about the Speakeasy eyes? They are different, creative and very recognizable. Cant wait to see which labels you picked.
September 26, 2011 at 9:36 am
nice collection of logos here, abstract but creative..

Study: Dietary Goals Should Be Set for Diabetes Patients
Setting a specific goal to eat more low glycemic index foods can improve the dietary habits of people with type 2 diabetes, a new study finds.
Researchers at Ohio State University found diabetics who made plans to eat foods with a low gylcemic index – carbohydrates that are digested slowly and are less likely to spike blood sugar levels – were more likely to adhere to their goals and also consumed fewer calories.
Study participants were given a goal to eat either six or eight daily servings of low glycemic index foods. Overall, most participants reached the goal of eight servings, primarily because many of the people were already consuming about six servings each day.
Participants also ended up eating approximately 500 fewer calories per day and adding vegetables, fruits and nuts to their diets.
"We ask people to set goals because they motivate action," said lead study author Carla Miller. "Telling people to 'go out and do your best' is not effective. It's not specific enough, or targeted enough, or timely… In this context it's not just a matter of setting a goal, it's deciding what specifically you are going to modify to help you achieve a more healthful diet."
The study consisted of 35 adults ages 40 to 65 living with type 2 diabetes. All participants completed an assessment while joining a nutrition intervention group for a five week period. Participants were then split into two different groups. The first group had a goal of eating six low glycemic index foods over an eight week period, and the other group consumed eight low glycemic index foods per day over the same period.
Each group showed a substantial average increase in their daily total servings of low glycemic index foods and a significant average decrease in caloric intake, and overall dietary glycemic index.
However, not all participants reached their desired goal, leading researchers to learn more about the relationship between goal setting and committing to specific diets.
"What we found is that those who felt more committed to the goal felt the goal was less difficult, and those who had a higher level of self-efficacy felt that the goal was less difficult, which makes sense because that means they felt more confident in their ability to meet that goal," Miller said.
The glycemic index is a scale of glucose level in foods ranging from 1 to 100. Foods with an index of 55 or fewer points, such as vegetables, whole grains, diary foods, nuts, beans and fruits, are low glycemic index foods. Foods with a point value of 100 are the equivalent of pure glucose.

2012 Volvo V60 Plug-In Hybrid to Debut at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show
Earlier this week we heard that Stefan Jacoby, CEO of Volvo, would consider bringing the Volvo V60 wagon to the States as a hybrid. Now, Volvo has confirmed that it's introducing a new 2012 V60 plug-in hybrid this March at the Geneva Motor Show.
This is not the first time we have seen Volvo's plug-in hybrid system; Volvo's has previously revealed specifications on the system. The system in the production V60 PHEV is a further development of the system Volvo began developing in conjunction with Swedish energy supplier Vattenfall and showed in a V70 wagon in 2009.
"This second-generation hybrid is the perfect choice for the uncompromising buyer who wants a car with low carbon dioxide emissions packed with driving pleasure," Jacoby said in a prepared statement.
Volvo and Vattenfall's system, called Electric Rear Axle Drive (ERAD), uses an electric motor to propel the rear axle -- in this case one that produces 70 horsepower. The electric motor is powered by a 12 kWh lithium-ion battery pack, which enables the car to drive up to 30 miles on electricity alone. Once the battery is depleted, a 215-horsepower, 2.4-liter turbo-diesel I-5 mated to a six-speed automatic transmission kicks in to drive the front wheels. According to Volvo, the V60 PHEV gets around 124 mpg on the European combined cycle.
While we know for sure we won't ever see the non-hybrid V60 on this side of the pond, we may eventually see it with the hybrid setup. Jacoby hinted at such a U.S. offering, and a Volvo spokesperson confirmed there has been such talk, but nothing is confirmed. The spokesperson also confirmed our suspicion that if the V60 PHEV does make its way to the States, it may not be with a diesel engine. The availability of a diesel would be dependent on U.S. emissions standards.
It may be some time before any hard information about the V60 PHEV's U.S. availability comes out, but we'll learn more about the diesel-electric hybrid bound for Europe at the Geneva Motor Show this March. The car is set to go on sale by 2012.

Re: Assembly Bill A01837
Dear Assemblywoman Weinstein:
Pursuant to our conversations with Committee on Judiciary ("the Committee") staff, we are pleased to provide our comments on Assembly Bill A01837 ("A01837" or "the bill" or "the proposed legislation") which would establish that certain services related to real estate transactions may be provided only by attorneys.(1)
The Justice Department and the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") believe that non-attorneys should be permitted to compete with attorneys except where specialized legal knowledge and training is demonstrably necessary to protect the interests of consumers. Competition leads to lower prices, better products and services, and enhanced consumer choice. We are concerned that the proposed legislation, which would prevent non-attorneys from competing with attorneys in situations where there is no clear showing that non-attorney service providers have caused consumer harm, is not in the best interests of consumers. We recommend that the Committee reject the bill so as to preserve attorney/non-attorney competition.
The Interest and Experience of the U.S. Department
The Justice Department and the FTC are entrusted with enforcing the federal antitrust laws. We work to promote free and unfettered competition in all sectors of the American economy. The United States Supreme Court has observed that "ultimately competition will produce not only lower prices, but also better goods and services. 'The heart of our national economic policy long has been faith in the value of competition.'"(2) Like all consumers, consumers of professional services benefit from competition,(3) and if competition to provide such services is restrained, consumers may be forced to pay increased prices or accept services of lower quality.
The Justice Department and the FTC are concerned about increasing efforts across the country to prevent non-attorneys from competing with attorneys through the adoption of excessively broad unauthorized practice of law restrictions by state courts and legislatures. In addressing these concerns, the Justice Department and the FTC encourage competition through advocacy letters and amicus curiae briefs filed with state supreme courts. Through these letters and filings, the Justice Department and the FTC have urged several states, the American Bar Association, and many state bar associations to reject or narrow such restrictions on competition between attorneys and non-attorneys.(4) Separately, the Justice Department has obtained injunctions prohibiting bar associations from unreasonably restraining competition by non-attorneys in violation of the antitrust laws.(5) These comments are part of our ongoing efforts in this area.
The Proposed Legislation
Section 484 of Article 15 of New York's Judiciary Law states that certain activities, including "preparing deeds, mortgages, assignments, discharges, leases or any other instruments affecting real estate," may only be performed by attorneys.(6) The proposed legislation would add a new section, 484-A, which would define the following tasks as "the historic and essential elements of the practice of relevant real estate law in the state:"
While proposed Section 484-A does not expressly bar non-attorneys from providing these services, defining such services as "the historic and essential elements of the practice of . . . law" will have the same practical effect.
The proposed legislation would also expand the list of activities that only an attorney may provide to include certain activities that presently can be conducted in New York by non-attorneys. Specifically, the proposed legislation would prohibit anyone other than an attorney from:
The proposed legislation would further modify Article 15 by amending Section 495. Subsection 5 of Section 495 currently allows corporations and voluntary associations (collectively, "companies") to examine and insure titles to real property, and to prepare deeds, mortgages, assignments, discharges, leases or any other instruments affecting real property "insofar as such instruments are necessary to the examination and insuring of titles, and necessary or incidental to loans made by any such corporation or association."(9) A01837 would bar non-attorneys employed by such companies from performing such work.(10) It also would bar these companies from representing anyone in a real estate or mortgage closing, or any other legal transaction or activity where A01837 bars non-attorney service providers.(11)
Restrictions on Attorney/Non-Attorney Competition Should Be Examined
The Justice Department and the FTC recognize that there are services requiring the knowledge and skill of a person trained in the law that should be provided only by attorneys. However, we also believe that consumers benefit from attorney/non-attorney competition in the provision of many other services. Allowing non-attorneys to compete in the provision of certain types of services permits consumers to select from a broader range of options, considering for themselves such factors as cost, convenience, and the degree of assurance that the necessary documents and commitments are sufficient. As the United States Supreme Court stated:
The assumption that competition is the best method of allocating resources in a free market recognizes that all elements of a bargain - quality, service, safety, and durability - and not just the immediate cost, are favorably affected by the free opportunity to select among alternative offers.(12)
In general, competition policy calls for any restriction on competition to be justified by a valid need for the restriction, such as the need to protect the public from harm, and for the restriction to be narrowly drawn to minimize its anticompetitive impact.(13) The inquiry into the public interest involves not only an assessment of the harm that consumers may suffer from allowing non-attorneys to perform certain tasks, but also consideration of the benefits that accrue to consumers when attorneys and non-attorneys compete.(14)
The Proposed Legislation Would Likely Hurt New York
The Justice Department and the FTC believe that adopting the proposed legislation would harm consumers and not serve the public interest. The legislation's restrictions on non-attorney service providers will eliminate attorney/non-attorney competition for many services where competition likely benefits consumers. If the proposed legislation is adopted, New York consumers likely will be disadvantaged in at least the following ways:
There Is No Indication that the Proposed Restrictions
The Justice Department and the FTC believe that the restrictions on competition in A01837 are not warranted unless there is strong factual evidence demonstrating that New Yorkers are being harmed by the availability of real estate transaction services performed by non-attorneys, and that such harm is not outweighed by the harm to consumers of foreclosing competition. The Justice Department and the FTC are not aware of evidence demonstrating that consumers have been harmed by non-attorneys giving advice or negotiating terms and conditions for the sale of real property, preparing contracts or agreements for such transactions, or conducting title searches activities that are commonly provided by non-attorneys in many states.(22) In the absence of such evidence, we believe that the proposed legislation's expansion of the definition of the practice of law unnecessarily limits competition between attorneys and non-attorneys, and will likely cause more harm to consumers than it may prevent. It is thus not in the public interest.
Many of the services the proposed legislation would reserve for attorneys do not require the special skills, training, and abilities of an attorney. For example, legal training is almost certainly not required to collect title insurance premiums, issue title insurance policies on behalf of title insurance companies, or issue title insurance reports. The Kansas Bar Association, to cite one example, specifically exempted these services from the definition of the practice of law that it proposed to the Kansas Supreme Court in 2005.(23) The proponents of A01837 have not demonstrated that skilled non-attorneys cannot perform such tasks effectively.
Consumers likely face little risk of harm from non-attorney competition in many areas. For example, studies of lay specialists who provide bankruptcy and administrative agency hearing representation found that they perform as well as or better than attorneys.(24) Another study compared five states where lay providers examined title evidence, drafted instruments, and facilitated the closing of real estate transactions with five states that prohibit lay provision of these settlement services. The author found "[t]he only clear conclusion" to be "that the evidence does not substantiate the claim that the public bears a sufficient risk from lay provision of real estate settlement services to warrant blanket prohibition of those services under the auspices of preventing the unauthorized practice of law."(25) Perhaps most significantly, a recent survey found that complaints about the unauthorized practice of law in most states did not come from consumers, the potential victims of such conduct, but from attorneys, who did not allege any claims of specific injury.(26) As the Restatement (Third) of Law Governing Lawyers has explained:
Several jurisdictions recognize that many such [law-related] services can be provided by nonlawyers without significant risk of incompetent service, that actual experience in several states with extensive nonlawyer provision of traditional legal services indicates no significant risk of harm to consumers of such services, that persons in need of legal services may be significantly aided in obtaining assistance at a much lower price than would be entailed by segregating out a portion of a transaction to be handled by a lawyer for a fee, and that many persons can ill afford, and most persons are at least inconvenienced by, the typically higher cost of lawyer services. In addition, traditional common-law and statutory consumer-protection measures offer significant protection to consumers of such nonlawyer services.(27)
In short, the drafters of A01837 appear not to have made a substantive showing of need to justify the extensive prohibitions of lay service competition that they have proposed. Absent such a showing, restraining competition in a way that is likely to harm New Yorkers by raising prices and eliminating their ability to choose among competing providers is unwarranted.
The assistance of an attorney during a real estate-related transaction may be desirable, and consumers may decide to retain an attorney in certain situations. A consumer might choose to hire an attorney to answer legal questions, perform title work, provide advice, or resolve disputes. Consumers who hire attorneys may in fact get better service and representation than those who do not. Nonetheless, the choice of hiring an attorney or a non-attorney should rest with the consumer, particularly where there is no evidence that consumers are harmed by using non-attorneys to provide certain types of real estate services.
The proposed legislation likely will unnecessarily and unreasonably reduce competition between attorneys and non-attorneys for services related to real estate transactions. We urge the Committee to reject it.
The Justice Department and the FTC thank you for this opportunity to present our views. We would be pleased to address any questions or comments regarding this letter.

5. In United States v. Allen County Bar Ass'n, the Justice Department sued and obtained a judgment against a bar association that had restrained title insurance companies from competing in the business of certifying title. The bar association had adopted a resolution requiring lawyers' examinations of title abstracts and had induced banks and others to require the lawyers' examinations of their real estate transactions. Civ. No. F-79-0042 (N.D. Ind. 1980). In United States v. N.Y. County Lawyers Ass'n, the Justice Department obtained a court order prohibiting a county bar association from restricting the trust and estate services that corporate fiduciaries could provide in competition with lawyers.

With sons in the service, the Wido family of Canandaigua has a hard time fully celebrating the season.
Don't expect to see many presents under the tree at the Wido house on Arlington Park in Canandaigua. Oh, Santa might leave a few items for the youngest — Ann and Noel's 2-year-old grandson, Noel Edward Wido. But thinking about gifts this year just isn't on the radar.
Ann and Noel and their three sons — Peter, 26, and twins Mark and Matt, 24 — haven't spent a Christmas together since 2002. With the war in Iraq raging, and all three sons in the military, the past five Christmases have been a little less cheerful.
"It's a terrible feeling. It makes you feel uneasy to celebrate when someone in the family is in harm's way," said Noel, a Marine Corps veteran whose son, Pete, took after his dad and joined the Marines.
That changes tomorrow, when the family will celebrate Christmas under one roof for the first time in five years.
Mark, the last of the trio to arrive home, was greeted by friends and family at the Rochester International Airport on Friday. There were ceremonies — such as signing an honorary flag — and, for Ann, a few tears. Now the agenda consists mostly of family time.
Pete, a biochemist who lives in Henrietta, joined the military after his younger brothers went into the Army. He confesses he felt a little competitive and thought joining the Marines might one-up them. Turns out, his service overseas — so far — has been fairly uneventful, compared to his brothers'.
"I volunteered for Iraq, but they sent me to Africa," said Pete, a rifleman who served six months in Djibouti. His job was guarding the region from terrorists coming across the border from Somalia. He didn't see much action, he said.
Not so for his brothers. Matt was with the 101st Airborne, the spearhead in the invasion of Iraq at the start of the war.
"It got pretty nasty," said Matt, who served seven months during his first tour in 2003. He was called up again in 2005 and served an additional 11-month tour. Matt left July 10, 2005, for six months of training before deployment, leaving behind his wife, Diane, and newborn son, Noel Edward.
"You just keep going," he said, describinghow he got through the time away from his family.
Mark, a paratrooper, served in Iraq from October 2006 to last month, when he returned to Fort Richardson, Alaska. Before arriving home for Christmas on Friday, Mark recalled in an e-mail how he spent last Christmas. He was on "main-gate guard duty" for 12 hours, he said. As for the chow, it was "cold chicken strips" for lunch, and dinner was "a plate of meat," identity unknown, he said. He and his squad did a secret gift swap after hours, he said.
"It was cheesy and dumb," he recalled, but that's "what made our Christmas."
This year, Mark and his brothers will tuck in to their dad's famous turkey with its sausage dressing — a family favorite.
Ann said she anticipates her sons will hang around during the preparation, probably putting in their two cents and snitching samples before the bird makes it to the dinner table.
Ann said she expects Mark will want to do a lot of catching up on sleep while he is home, and enjoy some quiet time away from the stresses of military life.
But not before they put in some much-needed male-bonding time, said Pete.
"We hope we can go out, have a few drinks together, eat some chicken wings," he said.

Summer is the season to celebrate strawberries, so I wanted to end July with a fabulous strawberry dish that's been marinating in my mind for a while.
Yes, I know July is national ice cream month, so maybe I should be writing about ice cream, but sadly, I don't have an ice cream maker, so all of my ice cream making attempts end with a block of ice in the freezer that we can barely chip away at. Maybe one of these days we'll get an ice cream maker, but for now, we're holding out since the temptation to make ice cream every weekend would be pretty hard to resist.
Most people seem to make their strawberry bruschetta with goat cheese, which I'm sure is delicious, but I wanted to make mine with the flavors that are reminiscent of one of my favorite childhood desserts. Strawberry Shortcake.
When I was a kid, my parents would frequently take us to an all-you-can-eat steakhouse/salad bar type restaurant after church on Sunday, the kind of place where kids eat pretty inexpensively. Unfortunately, my vanity got in the way of their budget since I reached the age where I was too embarrassed to have to use a "kid plate" - the kind of plate that has the dividers to keep the food separate - especially since my older sister had graduated to a grown up plate and I felt like a baby in comparison! We were standing in line, my dad getting ready to pay, when my mom saw my trembling lip and tragic eyes (I suppose I was a little dramatic about it!). Moms seem to instinctively understand these situations, though, and asked for a grown up plate for me. Life was good again, especially when I was allowed to have one of the pretty parfait glasses of red jello cubes and whipped cream sitting by the register.
To this day, I feel a little panicky at these types of serve-yourself restaurants. The endless rows of tile floors surrounding the food bars scare me, since on one of our family lunches there, my slippery Sunday shoes went right out from under me, and I'm sure you can guess what happened after that... I fell. I dropped my plate and food went flying. I cried. I ran back to our table and jumped on my dad's lap, sobbing. I was too embarrassed to go back, so he went back for me and got all of my favorites - salad with pineapple and cottage cheese, a chicken wing, a little macaroni and cheese, and my all-time favorite, fried okra. (It was the south, after all!)
After lunch, there was the dessert bar, which really is the only reason most kids eat their meal. We were fascinated by the soft-serve ice cream machine and all the bowls of toppings laid out. There were some plates of individually sliced cheesecake and pie, which didn't interest me at the time. What I loved were the pans of fruity cake and pudding. There was banana cream pudding, lined with vanilla wafer cookies, whipped cream, bananas and pudding. There was a chocolate something or other. And there was strawberry shortcake, a huge vat of spongy cake, cream and strawberries, that you could just scoop into a bowl and eat with a spoon. The cake soaked up the cream and berries so it had such a nice, moist pudding quality.
When you taste this bruschetta, it has all the flavors of strawberry shortcake and you'll almost think you're eating dessert, even though there's only one teaspoon of added sugar in the whole recipe and it's a very light dish. But this strawberry bruschetta is all grown up with the addition of balsamic vinegar. Don't even think about leaving this off--it's the most important ingredient and really makes the dish! Balsamic vinegar is sweet and a little tangy, and really brings out the flavor of the strawberries and cheese. We used our new bottle of 18-year aged balsamic that we bought at a farmer's market and it was absolutely amazing! And it was also so pretty, that I just couldn't stop taking pictures. :)
(I'm excited to tell you that I learned how to create links to "printable recipes" for your convenience, so you will see this from now on--it'll take me a little time to go back and add these for previous posts, but eventually, these links will be available on all my posts.)
Strawberry Bruschetta with Mascarpone Cheese and Aged Balsamic
(for 4 slices)
- 4 slices good bakery bread or french bread (I used a small loaf of "Ecce Panis" bread from the grocery store)
- 4 teaspoons olive oil
- 4 tablespoons mascarpone cheese
- 1 cup sliced fresh strawberries (4-6 strawberries)
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 4 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
Place the bread slices on a baking sheet lined with foil and drizzle with the olive oil. Toast under the broiler on low until slightly golden and crisp.
While the bread is toasting, toss the strawberries with the sugar in a bowl to draw out the juices. They only need to macerate for about five minutes to get juicy enough.
Let the bread cool for a few minutes (so that the cheese doesn't melt when you spread it). Spread each piece of bread with a tablespoon of mascarpone cheese. Top with the strawberry slices, and then drizzle the strawberries with the balsamic vinegar.
Enjoy immediately!

In EPF Commissioner v. Official Liquidator of Esskay Pharmaceuticals Ltd., the SCI (G.S. Singhvi and H. L. Dattu, JJ.) examined whether priority given to the dues payable by an employer under Section 11 of the Employees' Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952 ('EPF Act') is subject to Section 529A of the Companies Act, 1956 ('Companies Act') in terms of which the workmen's dues and debts due to secured creditors are required to be paid in priority to all other debts.
Relevant extracts from the judgment:
- Any EPF contributions made by an employee creates first charge over the assets of the establishment and should be paid in priority to all other debts: "18. An analysis of Section 11 of the EPF Act shows that it gives statutory priority to the amount payable to the employees over other debts … Section 11(2) contains a non obstante clause and lays down that if any amount is due from an employer whether in respect of the employee's contribution deducted from the wages of the employees or the employer's contribution, the same shall be deemed to be the first charge on the assets of the establishment and shall, notwithstanding anything contained in any other law for the time being in force, be paid in priority to all other debts. To put it differently, sub-section (2) of Section 11 not only declares that the amount due from an employer towards contribution payable under the EPF Act shall be treated as the first charge on the assets of the establishment, but also lays down that notwithstanding anything contained in any other law, such dues shall be paid in priority to all other debts."
- Nature of EPF Act: "22. The EPF Act is a social welfare legislation intended to protect the interest of a weaker section of the society, i.e. the workers employed in factories and other establishments, who have made significant contribution in economic growth of the country. The workers and other employees provide services of different kinds and ensure continuous production of goods, which are made available to the society at large. Therefore, a legislation made for their benefit must receive a liberal and purposive interpretation keeping in view the Directive Principles of State Policy contained in Articles 38 and 43 of the Constitution."
- 'Apparent Conflict' between and Object of EPF Act and Companies Act amendments regarding workmen's dues: Subsequently, the Court examined the purport of the creation of a priority payment of dues to workmen in light of both Section 11 of EPF Act and Section 529A of the Companies Act and the conflict in non-obstante clauses in both the provisions. Rejecting the argument that the subsequent legislation having the non-obstanteclause will take precedence over the other, it entered into an interpretative exercise to examine the object behind both the provisions and found that –
- "36. … the object of the amendment made in the EPF Act was to treat the dues payable by the employer as first charge on the assets of the establishment and to ensure that the same are recovered in priority to other debts. As against this, the amendments made in the Companies Act in 1985 are intended to create a charge pari passu in favour of the workmen on every security available to the secured creditors of the company for recovery of their debts. There is nothing in the language of Section 529A which may give an indication that legislature wanted to create first charge in respect of the workmen's dues, … and debts due to the secured creditors.
- "43. … However, while inserting Section 529A in the Companies Act … [the] Parliament, in its wisdom, did not declare the workmen's dues (this expression includes various dues including provident fund) as first charge. The effect of the amendment made in the Companies Act in 1985 is only to expand the scope of the dues of workmen and place them at par with the debts due to secured creditors and there is no reason to interpret this amendment as giving priority to the debts due to secured creditor over the dues of provident fund payable by an employer. Of course, after the amount due from an employer under the EPF Act is paid, the other dues of the workers will be treated at par with the debts due to secured creditors and payment thereof will be regulated by the provisions contained in Section 529(1) read with Section 529(3), 529A and 530 of the Companies Act."

California is a very different place from the 1950s and '60s, when Jerry Brown's father, Pat Brown, served as governor..presiding over a think-big boom in highway and water delivery construction.
By contrast, when Jerry was governor the first time, from 1975 to 1983, he preached an era of limits and lowered expectations.
But these days, Jerry is sounding like his father.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Wednesday, he leaped squarely into a new and sure-to-be-fierce political fight over the fate of another big idea: California's much-criticized bullet train project.
It's not just the biggest and most ambitious high-speed rail plan in the nation. The cost is high, causing one top Capitol Democrat to describe it as causing "sticker shock." How high? According to a new business plan rolled out Wednesday by the High-Speed Rail Authority, the project is now projected to cost $98 billion, adjusted for inflation, over a 20 year construction period. That'smore than double the original estimate.
Gov. Brown knows that economic recovery is a top priority in the coming election year, and he frames the plan in those terms.
"California's high-speed rail project will create hundreds of thousands of jobs," Brown said in a statement.
He and other supporters say the plan makes sense, compared to what it would cost to upgrade airports and highways to account for population growth. He's talking about an investment in the state's future, much like his father did.
Brown is doing more than talking. He's taking an active role in re-shaping the debate, as well as the make up of the rail authority's board. He recently appointed Dan Richard, a former utility executive, and Michael Rossi, a former bank executive, to the board to review the business plan. Both say the system can be built and can make money under current projections.
But the plan has to win approval from the legislature. Republicans are skeptical. Senator Doug LaMalfa (R-Richvale) announced Wednesday he'll introduce legislation to put the project back on the ballot in 2012.
Senate President pro Tem Darrell Steinberg (D-Sacramento) said he'll convene hearings soon to assess the plan, but echoing the governor, said the project "could be the single biggest job creator California has seen in decades."
There's a lot of scrutiny to come. Brown is hoping that the jobs argument will carry the day, in his effort to launch a comeback for high-speed rail.

The Senate agreed Monday night to end debate and move ahead with the farm bill. A final vote is scheduled for Tuesday.
The U.S. Senate agreed to move ahead with consideration of the farm bill Monday evening, clearing the way for a final vote on Tuesday. Cloture was invoked with a 72-22 vote.
The vote on final passage of the bill is expected around 2:15 p.m. ET on Tuesday.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) had filed cloture on the conference committee farm bill last Thursday, and scheduled a vote to end the debate at 5:30 p.m. Monday. At least 60 senators had to agree to end the debate in order for the the bill to move ahead to a final vote.
"The Senate has twice passed the farm bill with overwhelming bipartisan support," said Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.), chairwoman of the U.S. Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry. "I have no doubt we'll do it again, and show that it is possible to do something to reduce the deficit and boost the economy when people work across the aisle."
On Jan. 29, the U.S. House approved the $956 billion bill, in a 251-166 vote. The bill ends direct payments for farmers, but expands crop insurance options and creates a permament livestock disaster assistance program and funds a livestock gross margin insurance program for dairy producers.
The bill also cuts roughly $8 billion from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, mainly by tightening the requirements for receiving food stamps.
So far, the bill has been well received by ag industry groups, with the exception of some livestock organizations that oppose the bill's language on country-of-origin labeling regulations.
Check back with AgWeb on Feb. 4 for full coverage of the Senate vote.

K-12 Student Outreach Programs
The Center for Mathematics and Science Education helps to coordinate many activities and programs for K-12 students. First and foremost, our goal is to provide opportunities for students that will help them gain deeper understanding of science and mathematics principles. We hope that by providing worthwhile experiences that are at the same time fun and exciting, students will continue their pursuits of scientific study.
We offer a vast array of opportunities for students to become engaged in science and mathematics. Our most popular program is a classroom science program presented in the Hands-On Lab(opens in new window) in room 206 of the Physical Science Building on the CSU, Chico campus. This program offers at least six science labs per week during the university academic year.
Other field trip opportunities are held on a regular, but less frequent schedule. For instance, each spring we have an annual Math Field Day devoted to 8th – 10th grade students experiencing mathematics in a university setting. The afternoon has the students placed in random groups participating in fun, problem solving activities.
Each January we host an Expanding Your Horizons conference for middle school girls. The goal of this program is to encourage girls to continue taking science and math classes throughout high school. The day contains sessions presented by women from the community who work in science and math-related careers.
Recently, during the summer we have hosted science camps for elementary school children in the area. CMSE periodically offers its Hands-on Museum to visitors of the Chico Museum.
Other Field Trips(opens in new window): The CSU, Chico campus offers many additional opportunities for K-12 classroom field trips that center around mathematics and/or science. Please contact each office directly to make your reservations.

If the idea of dining in a garden full of beautiful decor sounds good to you, then Garden Lifestyle Store & Cafe may very well suit your taste. Similar to Fullhouse at NZX, Garden Lifestyle is a lifestyle store and cafe located at the Curve. The concept is simple. Beautiful garden, outdoor area and great ambiance all come together to bring a new dining experience at this place.
Even the tables were ornamented with mini flower pots which added a touch of English country decor to it.
The menu was filled with a selection of food ranging from salmon salad, deep fried calamari to lamb shank. We ordered the Butter Ginger Dory Fish (RM 16.90) and Spaghetti Marinara (RM 17.90). The Dory Fish was nicely prepared with a piece of pineapple stacked on top of the fish fillet. The dish was covered with butter ginger sauce and mashed potato on the bottom.
Although it may sound weird, the fusion of sweetness from the pineapple mixed with creamy sauce and fresh seafood kind of worked for me.
Next up is the Spaghetti Marinara. I had high expectation for this dish after tasting the delicious Dory Fish.
The inclusion of mussels, prawns calamari sure made it looked delicious.
Thumbs up for the food presentation.
However, I was disappointed with the spaghetti sauce was a tad too salty for my taste.
Somehow, I felt that the dish was hurriedly prepared and certainly did not fare as good for the price I was paying.
Admittedly, the beautiful decor is a crowd puller and for me, I wouldn't hesitate to give this place a second try, albeit skipping the Spaghetti Marinara for something more tasty.

Linen Bath Towels Vs. Bath Sheets What's the Difference? From the Brahms Mount Blog
All Brahms Mount products are prewashed and preshrunk.
Feel-Good Fibers
Sustainability is not a new idea at Brahms Mount. Natural fibers and earth-friendly practices were woven into the fabric of our company from day one. Every part of our process, from sourcing yarns to manufacturing products, involves making choices with minimal impact. We use colorfast dyes to achieve our vibrant hues. We follow the safest possible methods to give our whites their characteristic brightness. Our natural, undyed fibers are just that – pure and undyed, with a clean, untreated finish. Feel-good fibers, in every sense.
Linen is fast drying and highly suitable for line-drying. Line drying is quick and crisp compared to the matted mess of a line-dried terry towel.

Great size option if one does not need the 60\" length of the bath towel. It does resemble and feel like a burlap bag. I do hope the stitched edging holds up.

All Brahms Mount towels are pre-washed and pre-shrunk. While our products have the ease of home washing and drying, they are still made of natural fibers and should be cared for accordingly.
- Wash separately in cold water on a short, gentle cycle, with as much water as possible to allow for movement
- Avoid harsh detergents
- Use a liquid detergent without bleach or brighteners
- Always pre-dilute your detergent
- Tumble dry on delicate setting, low or no heat. Linen will become brittle if it is dried at a high heat temperature or for an extended period. When the fabric rubs on itself in a "dry" condition, it will abrade and show fiber on the surface.
- Tumbling keeps a soft drape.
- You can line dry, but the fabric will be stiff initially
- It is better to remove the product slightly damp from the dryer than to "bake and break" the fibers. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight over long periods
Brahms Mount keeps rolls of woven fabric on our shelves. An in stock product may not yet be finished and ready to ship. For this reason, all orders should be expected to ship within two weeks.

Lost at sea and lost in the records

Just found your blog via @infolass on Twitter - thanks for sharing some interesting stories. Have added it to my RSS feeds and look forward to more storiesReplyDelete
What happened to John Butler? Is there anyway that he and Mary, together, went to America? I have a ship's register for 1875 showing a Mary and John Butler from Ireland. I'd be happy to poke around a bit more if you email me some more information. Also, have you used the Irish Family History FOundation's site to access birth, marraige, and death records? If not, it is located here:ReplyDelete
*It can be pricey to buy the records (the index search is free), and is only really worth it if you know almost exactly what you're looking for. The index listings are not all that helpful.
Let me know if I can help.
Good luck,
After a bit of poking around, I learned that there is not a Rathdowney located in County Clare. It is in County Laois, which is 3 counties to the right on the map of Ireland. There is a Rathdowney Parish in County Kilkenny.ReplyDelete
Here is a link about Rathdowney, Laois. It mentions that this was home of Lord Fitspatrick, in the 1700's. I wonder if this might be Mary's linneage.
Anyway, please let me know if there is anything you'd like my help on. As of njow, I don't know enough to be of much service, but I love trying to solve mysteries pertainng to heritage.
Thanks for sharing your stories.
Did you ever find her migration? I wonder if she might have moved late enough to be in the FMP shipping records. I also use Victorian departures for some overseas shipping.ReplyDelete
