Perhaps it was back in 1993 when I first realized my obsession with the dark and morbid. Even as a small child, I had indulged myself with horror films and haunted houses; anything that would scare me to my wits end. They were fun while they lasted, but then they'd become a distant memory. Then Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas arrived right around Halloween of my freshman year in high school and I noticed something different about me. While most small children and friends my age couldn't wait for Santa to start kicking butt and taking names, there I was cheering on Jack and hoping Halloween would prevail as the dominant holiday. That was when it was truly noticeable that there was a little something different about me. »»

LOL! The evolution of the telephone sure must have exceeded Mr Bell's wildest expectations. Imagine a world without telephones, and telephone lines to carry data for internet!
When Bell invented the telephone he thought it would be used to let people know they should expect a telegram. Sometimes even inventors don't fully understand the impact their invention may create.
Hacked? Or jailbroken?

Delta's quarterly profits soar
Delta Airlines (DAL) reported operating revenue improved 5 percent, or $416 million, in the March 2014 quarter compared to a year earlier despite $90 million of lost revenue due to weather-related cancellations. Its traffic increased 3.5 percent on a 1.7 percent increase in capacity.
"March quarter's top line growth of 5 percent shows the strength of Delta's revenue momentum even through the revenue loss from weather and a shift of the Easter holiday traffic into April," Ed Bastian, president, said in the quarterly report. "We see continued revenue strength as we move through the year from corporate revenue gains, the benefits of the Virgin Atlantic joint venture and improved ancillary revenues. These initiatives, coupled with a solid demand environment, should lead to unit revenue growth in the mid-single digits for the June quarter."
Net income was $213 million compared with $7 million a year ago.

The interior has had a major upgrade but seats were in good shape and not recovered. The Don George rebuilt engine now has about 40 hours on it on and it has an 1,800 TBO. It is IFR cert, EI engine analyzer, EI oil pressure and temp, and EI carb temp. This plane needs nothing but flying. I have about $55K in it but would probably take a little less. Come see it, fly it and make me an offer I can't refuse.

On a more serious note - You know your friend zoned when you name is Dennis and you are playing chauffer during Girls Night Out.
Not true; I knew a lady in Houston who was very nice and owned one of the strip clubs on the Richmond Strip. She bought it out (after having been a stripper herself earlier in her life, she got into real estate and made some bank) and was a very nice lady. No shady doings with her; she just loved the girls and did her best to really only staff the ones who were serious when they said "working their way through college" as opposed to the drug addicts or girls who did it only because their significant other was a MAN and shouldn't be asked to get off his lazy ass to support his family. How dare they ask him to do that!
Obviously it's no true in every situation. It just seems historically speaking, and even a lot in modern times... the people who own clubs like that tend to be people who are shady...

UPDATED (Wednesday): There was great excitement in California when it was announced that Russian gay activist Nikolai Alekseev was coming to America to speak about his often dangerous demonstrations supporting LGBT rights. The trip was arranged primary by Alekseev Chicago-based activist friend, Andy Thayer of the Gay Liberation Network, who has long worked with Los Angeles-based activist Robin Tyler (on such projects as stopdrlaura.com, for instance). Tyler went to work in California to find sponsors for the Russian's trip – from Equality California and the City of West Hollywood to GetEQUAL and Marriage Equality/California.
But weeks before Alekseev was to arrive for his sponsored but unpaid speaking tour, rumors surfaced that he was not really fond of Americans. While that left some LGBT activists privately questioning why he was coming here at all, others suggested that perhaps something was lost in translation and to give the activist the benefit of the doubt.
Then came rumors that Alekseev posted anti-Jewish comments on his blog on Jan. 31 – http://alexeyev.livejournal.com/465479.html – now apparently deleted. The specific offending quote, captured by Scott Long, formerly of Human Rights Watch and now a Visiting Fellow, Human Rights Program at Harvard Law School was:
"The Israeli Prime Minister urged Western leaders to support Egyptian dictator Mubarak … And who after this are the Jews? In fact, I always knew who they were."
The California sponsors were unaware of this when they agreed to sponsor Alekseev. In fact, EQCA's Andrea Shorter chided Julie Dorf, Senior Advisor for the Council for Global Equality, for not warning EQCA about possible problems with Alekseev when they were having email discussions about international issues.
UPDATED WEDNESDAY AM: DAVID BADASH POSTED A THOUGHTFUL PIECE ON HIS BLOG THE NEW CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT. Two quick points: I updated and corrected my post last night to clarify that Robin Tyler said she read the offending quote in English on Alekseev's Facebook page. Additionally, at the end of Alekseev's statement (posted in full this morning following the video), he says he was not on any of the conference calls with the California organizers. Tyler says this is because Andy Thayer told the California organizers he would speak for Alekseev.
What is becoming increasingly clear is that there are political and personality conflicts in the LGBT international arena of which many of us are unaware.
(Updated/corrected) Meanwhile, Tyler, who said she read the comment posted in English on Alekseev's blog Facebook page – was on a conference call with Shorter and Rabbi Denise Eger, another longtime LGBT rights activist, among others.
"I'd like to say I am surprised – but I'm not surprised. There's a lot of anti-Jewish sentiment within our movement that is usually not addressed as swiftly as this has been," Tyler said. "All my friends have said that dictators like Mubarak should be overthrown so I don't know what the hell Nikolai is talking about."
Tyler and some of the sponsors of Alekseev's California tour contacted Thayer Monday morning about the issue. Thayer – who has shelled out his own money for the tour – said he wanted to try to convince the gay Russian activist to clarify his position and asked for the Californians to wait for 24 hours before deciding to cancel the tour. They said they would wait until 4:00pm Pacific time to give Alekseev "every opportunity" to clarify his position. But after Thayer informed the gay Russian of the situation, Alekseev not only refused but issued his own pre-emptive statement on his Facebook page saying he was cancelling on the Californians and essentially blaming Tyler and "Gay Inc" for trying to censor him. (See his complete message below.)
When San Francisco gay/HIV activist Michael Petrelis called Alekseev out on the Gays Without Borders listserv about the anti-Jewish remark and his Facebook page claim that he was being censored by "Gay Inc," Petrelis reported: "my effort to post this note failed because my membership in the gays without border yahoo group, whose membership list is maintained solely by nikolai, was canceled."
The California groups released this statement:
EQCA and Robin Tyler Productions, Inc. have decided to cancel sponsorship of the California speaking tour of Russian LGBT Activist Nikolai Alekseev. Our broad coalition of California organizations including Congregation Kol-Ami, Jewish Community Relations Council, Metropolitan Community Church, Los Angeles, Harvey Milk Foundation, SF LGBT Community Center, National Center for Lesbian Rights, Imperial Court of Canada, USA, and Mexico, Gays Without Borders, San Diego LGBT Center, Bayard Rustin LGBT Coalition, Jordan Rustin Coalition, Alice B. Toklas Democratic Club, City of West Hollywood Lesbian and Gay Advisory Committee, Christopher Street West, WEHO, and Get Equal who were supporting this tour are focused on the common goal of securing civil rights and legal protections for the LGBT community. They are also withdrawing sponsorship when made aware that on January 31, 2011, Mr. Alekseev, who is a noted fighter for LGBT rights in Russia, made anti-Semitic remarks against Jewish people on his blog.
Offensive remarks against a religious and ethnic group is at direct odds with the goal of our coalition, and undermines our important work. EQCA and Robin Tyler Productions, Inc. asked Mr. Alekseev to clarify the disparaging remarks that he made, in an attempt to create open community dialogue. He declined. We believe that it is imperative that our speakers share our commitment to dignity for all human beings. It is our intention to focus on the important and timely task at hand: the recognition of full equality, and as such, we have canceled the March 5 – 7 engagements.
Meanwhile, Alekseev has apparently changed his mind about coming to California. This is from his most recent Facebook posting, according to a friend:
Nikolai Alekseev
Nikolai Alekseev
Putin's police brutality is nothing to compare with the brutality of Californian Gay Establishment.
Here's Alekseev's posting on GaysWithoutBorders:
Dear friends,I know many of your are waiting to meet me in California and I was actually waiting to meet you as well.But unfortunately, I just took the decision to cancel my appearances there. I have been highly pressured over the last 4 hours by the Producer of the event Robin Tyler in terms that are absolutely not acceptable. I have experienced such a stress in the last hours than cannot even be compared with what I faced while being arrested and insulted by the Moscow police over the last years. This is just another drop that I cannot accept. This is not actually the first time. As you know, in the last weeks, I hesitated already to come to the US especially after Robin sent me an email in which she explained me how I will have to behave and what I will have to tell the audience. Saying what I think about Gays INC NGOs here was not very much welcomed. This restriction of my freedom of speech was not acceptable to me. At this time, I got to know the list of sponsors of the events and I regret I was not made aware earlier that organizations that I have denounced recently in articles published in the Advocate and elsewhere for their lack of support to grassroot activists where among the sponsors. I was trapped and at this moment I understood the ultimatum I received from Robin. I promise you to be more careful next time I am invited somewhere and check who is behind. But I still went on this time and stepped over my principle, and decided to come by friendship for Andy but also for all of you who sent me warm messages over the last weeks and asked me to come and share experience. You contributed to make me change my mind. Now, this has become impossible. Someone called Scott Long decided to run a campaign against me in the last 48h and harassed the sponsors of the events asking them to pull out and cancel. I want to underline that I did not request any money for speaking anywhere in the US contradictory to what many usually do. This would be disgusting for me. It's not my way of doing. I don't need money. I am fighting this concept of activists being paid for their campaigns. I was just coming to share experience. I don't understand how I can see a poster of my appearance stating "produced by Robin Tyler Inc". What is this? Hollywood ? No, this is serious. The topic is blood of people being arrested, assaulted. The bullying campaign by Scott Long made its effect and I got a large pressure which people where not even able to make directly. They understood they were behaving improperly and decided to pressure me indirectly. This is just amazing. This is too much. This campaign has absolutely no reasoning and there is no ground for it.Honnestly, I cannot say that I am disappointed in America. This would be totally untrue. I am dellighted to be in Chicago among marvelous grassroot activists who are every day fighting for gay rights and human rights and not seating in an office and getting well paid salaries from generous sponsors. I know most are disappointed that we will not meet but you might understand that I put my health first. Tonight I feel more stressed than after what happened last September. This is just too much. I am sure you understand.
Here's the video of Alekseev at Columbia University.
UPDATE( 8:54 Pacfic) : Asked about the on-going controversy, Tyler said, "The fact is he didn't cancel. we canceled him. Andy Thayer was on the phone with us for days and said he was speaking on behalf of Nikolai and he would issue a statement. Bob Schwartz, who works with Andy Thayer in Gay Liberation Network, emailed me to convine Andy to cancel the entire tour because of Nikolai's temperment. To quote Bob from his email:
I read Nikolai's statement about him canceling the California tour. And his rant about his dissatisfaction about you and the others. More failure to take responsiblility for his own behavior.
Andy is going to be working on a statement regarding the California cancelation, and I am in agreement with you that we need to distance ourselves from Nikolai.
I can tell you that Andy was ambivalent about continuing with the tour for a number of reasons. Rather than speak for him, I ask that you take the question up with him directly. For what its worth, I told him to scrap the tour. Nikolai is just too volitile, a loosse cannon."
Tyler continues: "Nikolai is spinning the story as if he's the victim instead of being an anti-Semite."
UPDATED 6:20AM PACIFIC, WED: Late Tuesday night, LGBT POV received a statement from Alekseev under the name Nicolas Alexeyev:
In the light of the controversy concerning the cancellation of my speaking engagements in California, sponsored by a group of local LGBT organizations, I would like to make the following statement, the essence of which was addressed tonight during my speech at Columbia University.
I would like to state that I am a strong believer in human rights and equality for everyone, irrespective of any personal characteristics, whether it is sexual orientation, race, gender, national or ethnic origin, religion or any other basis.
I did publish in my blogs the comments which were addressed against the Israel Government after Israeli Prime Minister called the world to support Egypt dictator Mubarak and to unite around him, disregarding popular public efforts to oust him. I was angry that anyone could support this dictator as he was killing his own people. My comments appeared to blame all Jews for the actions of the Israeli government and its supporters.
The accusations of me distributing anti-Semitic statements on blogs were initiated by notorious human rights campaigner Scott Long who had to quit his position at Human Rights Watch (HRW) due to his involvement into slandering British human rights campaigner Peter Tatchell for which both Mr Long and HRW had to make a public apology.
Mr. Long was intentionally waiting for my trip to the US to start this campaign against me, which he started the day I arrived in Chicago, a month after this comment were made by me and already long ago after it was removed and address directly with the few who read them and contacted me to discuss it. If Scott Long was truly interested in stopping anti-semitism, why did he wait a month to raise an objection, but instead wait until I landed in the US to start this tour? One can doubt Mr Long would have ever distributed this information if I did not have any speaking engagement in the US. I regret this personal vendetta which goes on between the 2 of us for years might have hurt other people.
I would like to say that I have several Jewish friends who I treasure, including one Jewish American who played a significant role in Moscow Pride movement for years, helping to organize all our events in Russia. I adore her and I consider her as one of the most outstanding people I met in my life. Without her Moscow Pride campaign would not be as successful as it was.
My mum's stepfather was a Jew who immigrated to Israel from Soviet Union.
I am one of the only persons who always defended Jewish people against the hypocrisy of Switzerland during World War II. This is the topic which almost noone is courageous enough to raise neither in Switzerland itself, nor elsewhere. Just as noone was courageous enough to challenge Gaddafi regime from within Libya and I already did it in 2002 during my trip there risking problems to exit this country.
My grandfather died in World War II fighting the regime which is responsible for killing of millions of Jews. He was fighting for freedom and liberation aged younger than me now. I don't even know where he found his resting place.
Every time I am in Berlin, and a few weeks ago was not an exception, I visit a massive monument to millions of Jews who died under Nazi devastating rule.
I always dreamt to visit Jerusalem and I am sure I will do it very shortly.
I am a great believer in justice and a great opponent of all injustice. I am always very direct in what I say and sometimes people interpret it the way they want to use it against me.
It is true that I had to cancel my appearances in California due to enormous pressure from the organizers of the tour there. I always said in the last 48h that I would answer any question anyone might have about this issue after my speeches and make them public. And so, I did it tonight at Columbia University in New York., an institution which I admire for not surrendering to the harsh pressure Mr Long put on them in the last day to cancel my appearence. But I still plan to come to California as I know many people are waiting for me there and I have no right to punish them or disregard them.
Closing this statement I would like to stress that I was not personally contacted by any organizers of my tour in California with questions concerning my statements on policy of the Israeli Government. I was not invited in the several conference calls Californian organizers held in the last 48 hours on this issue.

I'm not going to say either is really better to be honest. I'm running a Mac mainly for this (eventual...) purpose basically because of compatibility with what I have available to me at college, which is basically a load of Macs with Logic. I run a Mac with Logic, brilliant. I have no complaints about this setup, other than the fact that I'm now going to have to buy my audio interfaces etc at a later date. A few months ago I was seriously considering building a custom PC with a massive audio interface and all the gizmos I'd need to start recording built in, which is very much possible with a PC. In the end, for convenience's sake and for the sake of compatibility, I went with the Mac. That and the fact that I was pretty sick at the thought of having to use Windows XP 64 as my secondary OS (I would've been using Linux like I used to for every day tasks). So:
You can get a lot more for your money with a PC. No doubt. You can customise more with a PC than you can with a Mac (Mac Pros not included, Jesus look at the specs that are potentially available there, 9Ghz of DUAL CORE processing power, etc etc, but I'm talking consumer models here) and PC's tend to have more in the way of user support because of the ubiquity of PC's. The downsides are Windows as a secondary OS (if you run a dual boot) and the lack of specific product support if one of your components breaks down.
DAW software, like Logic or Cubase is usually fairly cross-OS orientated, with exceptions. Logic is basically for Macs (the older versions work on PC) and Magix Samplitude is for Windows. Which software you actually use is entirely your own choice.
Macs have advantages too. The stable nature of the main operating system is a big one for me. The ease and convenience they provide from the second they start to run and the fact that they have excellent product support is also a huge advantage. They are not as customisable in the consumer models and they are considerably more expensive. Personally, I like Macs for my work. Others may like PCs. It really is just personal preference and ultimately it comes down to a gut instinct. Both are ultimately probably both relatively the same in terms of objective assessment.
Well said mfb, I agree with you completely.

Can You Stay In Your Home During A Short Sale?Posted by Tim Ryan on Tuesday, February 1st, 2011 at 3:57pm.
When doing a short sale on a property, many sellers ask if it's okay if they stay in the home during the process. The answer is yes, you can stay in your home during the process as lenders do not require you move out. In fact, lenders prefer you stay in the property during the process but the decision to stay or move out of your home is up to you.
What if you can't make your payments though? This brings up a moral dilemma as some sellers think they shouldn't stay if they can't pay. So another question is, should you stay? That questions can only be answered by you, but my professional opinion is yes you should and here's why:
If you are able to stay in your home during the short sale but can't afford the mortgage, use that time to save some money. After your short sale is completed, you're going to have to live somewhere. If you don't have friends and family to stay with, you can use the saved money on moving expenses and a deposit on your first month's rent for a new residence.
Also, keep in mind that during a short sale it's very important to find a willing and able buyer to purchase your property. If you leave your home during the process there's a good chance your home could be vandalized or damaged in your absence. If your home becomes damaged after the buyer negotiates a contract they may walk away causing you to face foreclosure.
A lender knows that if you're in the home during the process, you probably won't let maintenance issues go unattended. Any number of problems could happen if the house is vacant, and by staying in the home, you're helping the lender lose less by maintaining the property.
Many sellers don't realize that a short sale is basically the same process as a normal house sale. The only difference is the sale is subject to the banks approval of an offer. But, in order to get that offer, your home has to be priced well and in good condition.
You should do your best to make the home look presentable during showings just like a normal sale. The better offer you can get on your home the better chance you have at a successful short sale. A lender, in order to approve the short sale, wants to get as much money as possible. If you keep the home in tip top shape, you have a better chance of receiving a suitable offer.
It's also important to note how long short sales take. It can take anywhere form 3 months up to a year or longer for a short sale to be finalized. That's a long time and you never know what could happen. If you lost your job, you may be able to get a new one and save your home. You may also win the lottery and get a chance to pay it off, who knows.
If you're short selling your home I would recommend you stay in the home if you can. If you can't, no one is going to force you to stay. If you do move, I would recommend you have someone check in on your home regularly to ensure there are no problems. Good luck!

The group includes a large number of insecticides, herbicides and fungicides. They all contain phosphorus and an organic structure made up of carbon atoms arranged in a straight chain or ring. The group illustrates the great variety of structures among pesticides, with some members fitting equally well into other families such as the heterocyclics (compounds such as the pyridines which have carbon ring structures that include nitrogen atoms).
Insecticides. Among the group are such well-known members as parathion, which is no longer approved for use in the UK. It is a non specific insecticide that is highly toxic to mammals, and destroys birds and non-target insects such as bees.
Introducting chlorine atoms into this group reduced toxicity to mammals without affecting the insecticidal power. A series of such formulations appeared and was effective against insects which had become resistant to DDT. Bromophos is a contact insecticide against mites as well ...

Last week, the Senate dwelt on issues ranging from confirmation of two ministerial nominees to warning the executive against spending public funds on the proposed celebration of the nation's centenary.
On Tuesday, the Senate decried the plight of Nigerians abroad. Senators, while contributing to a motion sponsored by the chairman of the Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs, Senator Mathew Ifeanyi Nwagwu (PDP, Imo North) on "The Incessant Unfair Treatment and Harassment of Nigerians in Foreign Countries", unanimously insisted that innocent Nigerians abroad be protected against all forms of injustice.
Nwagwu had told the chamber that his committee recently discovered that 776 Nigerians were serving jail terms in seven foreign nations.
According to him, 395 Nigerians are currently in prisons in Spain, 126 in Gabon, 91 in Thailand, 62 in the United States of America (USA), 43 in Malaysia, 30 in Niger Republic and 29 in Cameroon.
Expressing concern over "the intimidation, arrests, detention, torture, deportation and occasional deaths" of Nigerians abroad, Nwagwu noted that 14 of the 27 Nigerians recently deported from Spain were found not to be culpable for the offences for which they were deported after thorough investigation by the combined team of officers from the police, NDLEA, the SSS and the Nigerian Immigration Service.
The Senate therefore urged the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to strengthen Nigerian consular services in foreign missions with a view to increasing their capacity to protect Nigerians in distress and providing prompt legal advice to them where necessary.
It also urged the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Nigerian embassies across the world to be more proactive on matters affecting Nigerians in such countries whenever they are in distress.
It also urged the relevant Nigerian authorities to press for redress and restitution on behalf of the 14 deportees who were found not culpable out of the 27 deported from Spain recently; and the relevant government agencies to step up enlightenment to educate Nigerians who must travel to do so properly and conduct themselves orderly manner while in such countries.
The proposed Nigeria's centenary celebration took the centre stage during an interactive session with the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Anyim Pius Anyim, who was in the National Assembly to brief the lawmakers on the arrangements for the programme.
Senate President David Mark warned the executive against spending public funds on the celebration. Reacting to Anyim's disclosure that all the programmes slated for the centenary celebration were private-sector driven, Mark said: "The government is not committing a dime to the centenary celebrations and that is my understanding so far. The government has no commitment at all except for the land in exchange or the swop, whatever the arrangement is. Truly, then we have no reason for this briefing because where do we participate and how do we come in?
"I agree with you that it is an entirely a private sector commercial exercise or business. If the idea is just to keep us abreast of what government is doing then, there is no need for question and answer or further discussion. My worry is, let it not appear that somewhere along the line, we (the country) have been committed and then there is financial involvement. I've looked at some of the programmes and realised that you're going to move youths from all over the country and bring them to Abuja here for celebration. Just as a basic question: who is going to pay those youths and who is going to look after them?
"I agree entirely with you and I believe you that it is a whole private sector driven exercise and we've heard it. There is very little that we can do because if you call a businessman and ask him to put a national and ultra modern national conference centre in Lokoja and he says yes, historically that is good, but that is not his commercial concept or interest, then you can't do anything.
"So, I'm just worried that if truly it is private sector driven, then we will conclude this briefing as quickly as possible, but if there are suggestions that we want to make, then we can get a committee and they can make suggestions and give to the businessmen if they are interested they buy. If they are not interested, they don't buy. It is just my simple contribution".
For Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu, the executive ought to disclose how much the celebration would gulp "at least for comparative analyses and historical records. Nigerians would like to know what is going to be the cost of this, irrespective of who is sponsoring it."
Anyim earlier told the senators that: "Every aspect of the programme will be private-driven. There is nothing about this in the budget and we don't intend to bring government funds. At no time will government funds go into it".
Senators Atai Aidoko (ANPP, Kogi East) and Smart Adeyemi (PDP, Kogi West) said it was unfair of the government to have passively mentioned Lokoja in the centenary celebration since the amalgamation of the Northern and Southern Protectorates took place there. They argued that the main activities of the celebration should hold in Lokoja.
Senator Ahmed Lawan (ANPP, Yobe North) wondered why the executive would involve states in the programme, noting that his own state, Yobe, already had issues of security to spend its limited financial resources on; while Senator James Manager (PDP, Delta South) said the executive had already concluded its proposal for the programme and was trying to foist it on the legislature as no lawmaker was part of the planning committee.
Also on Tuesday, the Red Chamber sought the powers to compel the president to appear before the National Assembly for the state of the nation address.
This was sequel to the second reading of "a Bill for an Act to Prescribe an Annual State of the Nation Address and Other Matters Concerned Thereto". The bill was sponsored by Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu.
The bill passed second reading and was referred to the Senate Committee on Federal Character and Inter-Governmental Affairs for further legislative action within two weeks.
Ekweremadu, in his leading debate, noted that the bill, which he had sponsored in the 6th Senate, was passed by the House of Representatives was also one of the numerous bills that could not receive presidential assent.
"Section 81 (1) of the 1999 Constitution simply provides that the president shall cause to be prepared and laid before each House of the National Assembly at any time in each financial year, estimates of the revenues and expenditure of the federation for the next financial year...Without prejudice to the budget presentation, this bill seeks to provide for a formal and mandatory platform where the President will lay the account of his or her stewardship, assessment of the polity and the policy thrusts of his or her administration from the economy to politics, foreign policy, security and other aspects of our national life on the table for public scrutiny.
"The good thing about this bill is that when passed into law, the cost of operating it will only involve recurrent expenses such as preparation of the address and fuelling the presidential fleet from the State House to the National Assembly. And to cap it up, it will not be surprising if some Presidents prefer to walk the distance since we are close neighbours. And as earlier mentioned, the benefits of more accountable, open, and participatory governance which this Bill intends to enthrone to our quest for national development cannot be over-emphasised".
On Tuesday also, the Senate Joint Committee on Federal Character and Inter-Governmental Affairs, Labour and Productivity, mandated to investigate the alleged recruitment racketeering in government agencies, had its inaugural sitting. The panel, through its chairman, Senator Dahiru Awaisu Kuta (PDP, Niger East) threatened to arrest any government officials who shuns its investigative hearing.
"In this assignment, we'll invoke the power conferred on the National Assembly Section 89(1d) of the amended 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. We'll summon and if need be, issue warrant of arrest of anybody who refuses to attend the hearing to offer clarification on specific issues.
"We appeal for the cooperation of individuals, stakeholders, the press and the Nigerian public during this assignment. We'll launch a full scale investigation into cases of non-compliance with the federal character principles resulting in marginalization of different sections of this country, particularly as it affects recent employment into the various Federal Government establishments."
On Wednesday, the Senate,
confirmed the nominations of Mr Kabiru Tanimu Turaki (Kebbi State) and Professor Chinedu Nebo (Enugu) as ministers of the government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
President Goodluck Jonathan had a fortnight ago forwarded their names to the Senate for confirmation.
Announcing the confirmation of the nominees' appointments, Senate President David Mark admitted that they frankly answered questions from senators.
He, however, charged them to match their words with actions in order to perform well when given portfolios.

Investigators have been probing the wreckage of a bomb blast which killed 21 people in the Nigerian capital Abuja. Residents fear for their personal safety and are angry with authorities for not preventing the attack.
"You had better leave, we don't want to talk now. We are very angry," a thickset man shouted into a reporter's microphone while clenching his fist. His friends nearby nod their heads. They are part of a group of around 100 people who had gathered near the Emab Plaza shopping center. It is situated in Wuse 2 in the center of Abuja on a busy shopping street. Traffic jams are frequent here, especially towards evening, when commuters drive back to the suburbs .
But now the road in front of the two-storey shopping complex has been cordoned off by yellow police tape that flutters in the wind. On Wednesday 25.06.2014), at around 4 pm local time, a bombed exploded here killing at least 21 people. Police say another 17 were injured. Later, police investigators working under the glare of searchlights hunted amid the wreckage for clues. The number of wrecked cars littered around the beige-colored building testifies to the force of the explosion. Police say 17 cars were burnt out.
Suspicion falls on Boko Haram
The attack in Wuse 2 is the third this year in the Nigerian capital. In April and May, 120 people were killed in two attacks in Nyanya, a suburb in southern Abuja.
Hours after Wednesday's attack, many local people were still in a state of shock. Passersby are discussed it in heated voices. Dozens of police tried to calm them down. One man called across to the police "I only want to find out what happened to a friend of mine. He wanted to go shopping here."
Chuks Ekwireke works for Emab Plaza management. "I was some distance away. I was in a shop. Suddenly we heard the explosion and I saw fire and smoke. When I came out of the shop, people were starting to run," he said. Witnesses reported seeing a small car parked before the entrance. Some had even suspected it could contain hidden explosives.
Ekwireke then said what many people evidently feel. "Nobody is safe in Abuja any more."
The Nigerian authorities seem powerless to prevent an unrelenting stream of attacks blamed on Boko Haram Islamists
It is impossible to predict such attacks as the last few weeks have shown. Boko Haram has been attacking remote villages in the north of the country near the border with Cameroon. The region is insecure, but no move has been made to bring in more police or military personnel. In Borno state, there have been reports of yet more kidnappings by Boko Haram. 60 people are reported to have been taken captive.
People in Abuja are not only fearful following this latest attack. They are also furious with the authorities. "The government can't tell us they don't know what is happening. They know exactly what is going wrong," businessman Abdu Kaze told DW.

In a completely unrelated story, the United States has stepped up its campaign of aerial terror against the impoverished, powerless people of Afghanistan and Pakistan.

The government is buoyant that despite its fragility, the industrial sector has the capacity to narrow the country's huge trade deficit to help the country achieve a middle income status by the year 2020.
Minister of Trade and Industry, Francois Kanimba, believes that the sector's contribution to Growth Domestic Product-GDP which has been growing in recent years indicates that with more reforms, the sector would bring in more foreign exchange receipts needed to narrow the import-export deficit.
"Local industries need to access affordable and efficient technologies in order to promote sustainable development," he said during the Africa Industrialisation Day on Tuesday.
Accordingly, the sector contributed 13 percent to GDP in 2001 before it jumped to 16 percent last year and it is projected to increase to 20 percent by 2020 when the country aims to attain the middle income status.
The Minister says that with the current trade deficit that stands at more than $ 1.2 billion, there is need to support industrial development to increase value added products for export.
"In order to compete at regional and international markets, we need to focus on value addition and products diversification and recapturing our domestic market," he adds
The country has registered significant progress in agro-processing firms particularly tea, coffee, dairy, cassava, maize, wheat, rice, and horticulture to increase the country's export receipts.
To harness this, the Minister said; "We need to continue to invest in human capacity and access to technology should be addressed through technology adoption and transfer."
"We also need to applaud our joint efforts in Rwanda which are producing encouraging results compared to the targets of the Rwanda Vision 2020," he said.
Africa still lags behind in terms of both industrialisation and trade compared to other continents due lack of access to finance, unfavourable business environment, lack of suitable technology and innovations, corruption, unskilled labor force, costly and unreliable raw material, as well as poor infrastructure.
Industrialists say that to increase industrialisation and intra-trade sector on the continent, governments need to address challenges of infrastructure, technology, energy, foreign exchange fluctuation and non tariff barriers.
Experts believe that the establishment of National Industrial Research and Development Agency (NIRDA) will contribute towards promotion of industrial technology improvement and transfer.
"We are committed to supporting Rwanda by investing in modern technology which makes products more competitive in the market," Mounir Bakhresa, the Managing Director Bakhresa industries-Rwanda said.
Moreover, there is also need to train industrialists to mainstream resource efficiency and cleaner production programmes throughout their processing to boost production by avoiding the negative impact of climate change.

Art is Life
AIGA Design for Good Poster
I designed this poster for the AIGA Design for Good Poster Initiative. Several designers in the Charlotte, NC area were a part of this initiative. The goal was to design a poster to call attention to either a social or environmental cause.I love art, and I believe that supporting the arts in our communities is essential for a better quality of life. Artists, theaters, libraries, and other art establishments and organizations need our support so that, in turn, they can keep enriching our cities, our communities, and our lives. It's not just about adding entertainment and fun to someone's daily grind, but it's also, and more importantly, about preserving and perpetuating our cultural heritage.All the posters from this initiative can be seen at the Design for Good website.

Decorating in authentic, New England nautical style is not intuitive. It takes restraint, and an eye for traditional furnishings. The style that I am describing is not "beachy" or "coastal". I am discussing the traditional New England design found in houses in old towns by the ocean. "Preppy" isn't a synonym for this design style, although east coast nautical style is definitely one variation of a preppy design style. The following concepts characterize New England nautical style.
Authentic Nautical Decorating Ideas
Traditional furnishings: Think antiques imported from "East India" in the 1800's. Don't go crazy with decking your house out like The House of Seven Gables; a little bit of scrimshaw goes a long way.
Classic wood furniture: Southern beachy style lends itself to painted furniture, while the classic New England nautical style is characterized by simply finished or refinished classic wood furniture. That's not to say that you won't ever find painted wood furniture in a New England nautical style home. It's more that classic wood furniture has that Colonial look that is so very nautical and New England.
Dark front door with contrasting light trim: Colonial houses in seaside New England towns often sport front doors that are painted a dark color, with trim that is painted white or cream. Traditional brass welcome signs are also de rigueur, such as "golden cod" or "golden pineapple" plaques or door knockers.
If you decorate with sailboats, go big: Molly Frey is an interior designer based in the very New England and very nautical town of Marblehead, Massachusetts. If you scroll through her portfolio (the way her site is set up, I can't link to the single photo that I want you to see), you'll see a huge model sailboat set against an off-white wall. It's an excellent example of decorating with model sailboats. One little sailboat does not New England nautical style make. You need many model sailboats, or one very large one, to say, "Hey. This is New England, and we are sailors."

Beach Holidays
Beach Holidays
When most of us think of going on holiday we think of long days spent in the sun, lying on golden sands lapped by warm turquoise waters. Beach holidays are undoubtedly the most popular type of break for Brits – no doubt partly because we don't have much of a beach scene at home! Fortunately, while there might not be much opportunity for relaxing in the sun by the sea in the UK, there are some fantastic beaches right on our doorstep in Europe, and for the more adventurous, some stunning tropical beaches further afield. Here's a guide to our top beach destinations.
Best beach resorts for families
There are plenty of beach destinations in Europe and further afield that will appeal to families – with beautiful, clean seas for kids to splash around in, exciting watersports for teenagers and numerous activities for all the family to enjoy.
The Algarve in Portugal is a firm favourite with families. Miles and miles of golden Blue Flag beaches, loads of watersports such as banana boating and jet skiing and a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere create the perfect conditions for a break away. Those with teens might like to consider staying in the lively resort of Albufeira or Lagos, where there is a buzzing nightlife scene. Villamoura offers a more upmarket experience, set around an elegant port bustling with classy bars and restaurants. While for peace and quiet, Praia de Rocha or Cavoeiro are perfect.
There's a wealth of family activities to enjoy here, including the Almancil Go Karting Fun Park , sailing along the coast on a Leãozinho (a replica pirate ship – guaranteed to be a hit with the kids!) and a visit to the Zoomarine – an interactive sea zoo with live shows and 4D-cinema shows involving sea animals.
For those looking to enjoy the warm Mediterranean climate of the Greek Islands, Crete makes for a fantastic family beach holiday. This island is beautiful. A multitude of beach resorts are found here, many of which are backed by pine covered hillsides with tiny whitewashed houses and ancient Byzantine churches looking out across the water.
Excellent family holiday resorts on Crete with good, clean beaches and a relaxing atmosphere include Georgioupolis, Bali and Agia Galini. Georgioupolis and Bali are smaller and quieter, with very little traffic in the town, so are probably more suited to families with young children. Agia Galini is bigger, with more to do and so may be preferable for those with older children. Those on a budget might want to consider the burgeoning tourist resort of Kalamaki, where prices tend to be cheaper.
For a lively family holiday with plenty of amenities, family attractions such as waterparks and wide, sweeping beaches, resorts such as Benidorm on the Costa Blanca and Torremolinos on the Costa del Sol are ideal.
And if you want to make your family holiday as stress-free as possible, consider opting for an all-inclusive package. This is especially handy for families with small children, as all meals and drinks are provided by the hotel, so you don't have to worry about finding a suitable restaurant or sorting out money. What's more, all-inclusive hotels generally have a whole wealth of activities on offer, from watersports, to Kids Clubs to sporting events, and a good evening entertainment programme. Top destinations for all-inclusive holidays include the Caribbean, Sharm el Sheikh in Egypt, Turkey and Majorca.
Best beach resorts for a relaxing break
One of the main reasons for booking a beach holiday is for pure relaxation. Reclining on soft golden sand, feeling the warmth of the sun on your face and hearing the waves gently lap the shore… bliss. Not for you the crowded beaches of Kavos or Benidorm – it's all about peace, quiet and beautiful surroundings.
Worlds apart from the mass commercialism that is synonymous with certain other Mediterranean resorts, Pargo on the mainland of Greece has retained its authentic Greek character and attracts relatively few foreign tourists. Here you'll find a small town surrounded by lush, forest-covered hillsides, guarded by an impressive castle on the headland. The resort is incredibly scenic, has a lovely small-town feel and boasts some stunning tranquil beaches.
The island of Zante is a great bet for relaxation by the beach, with a number of beautiful, laid back resorts to choose from. Alykes is located in a beautiful, green area of the island – a peaceful fishing village surrounded by olive groves and vineyards. From here you can get to one of the most photographed beaches in Europe; the stunning Navagio beach. Also known as Shipwreck Beach, this secluded cove is only accessible by boat. Surrounded on three sides by high chalk cliffs, the beach has soft, pure white sand lapped by some of the bluest water you will ever see. An absolute must for anybody staying on the island. You can arrange tours through local businesses such as Navagio Boat Trips.
For a laid-back beach holiday with a difference, consider visiting the small island of Santorini. You won't find the expansive golden shores most of us associate with beach breaks here – instead the pretty bays and inlets are carpeted with black and red volcanic shingle and pebbles. Red Beach near Akrotiri is one of the most striking bays on the island, with dramatic red lava cliffs overlooking a glistening black cove, lapped by the bright turquoise sea – it's almost looks like a vista from another planet. One of the main reasons to visit the island is for the stunning sunsets to be seen – some of the most impressive in the Greek Islands, particularly in the Imerovigli area.
For those willing to travel outside of Europe, there are some fantastic tropical breaks where you'll find laid back beach relaxation in stunning surroundings. The Caribbean islands of Jamaica and the Dominican Republic boast some of the most spectacular beaches in the world, with fine white shores fringed by palm trees and warm, turquoise water. Destinations such as Cuba and the Caribbean islands predominately offer all-inclusive packages as well – so you won't have to worry about paying for or organizing meals and drinks for the duration of your holiday. The ultimate in relaxation!
Best beach resorts for partying
San Antonio and Ibiza Town in Ibiza are the undisputed heavyweights of Mediterranean clubbing beach resorts; San Antonio the bawdy, chaotic sister to chic and elegant Ibiza Town. San Antonio has two main beaches; the S'Arenal de San Antonio in the centre of the town, with white sands overlooking the attractive bay, and small cove of Sunset Strip (Caló des Moro) in the north, lined by trendy bars and restaurants.
If you're looking for a holiday where the nightlife is just as important as days spent relaxing in the sun, there are a number of clear favourites. The Greek Islands' resorts of Kavos in Corfu, Faliraki in Rhodes and Mykonos Town in Mykonos all provide a frenetic nightlife scene and easy access to the beach. Of these, Faliraki and Kavos have a reputation for being more 'earthy' – think neon strip lighting, English themed bars playing only fools and horses 24/7, and commercial dance music pumping well into the night. Mykonos is somewhat more sophisticated, with undoubtedly the prettier beaches and a less rowdy (but equally lively) nightlife scene. Other top clubbing/beach holiday destinations in the Greek Islands include Kardemena in Kos, Malia in Crete and Laganas in Zante.
While resorts such as Kavos and Faliraki are arguably more about the quality of nightlife than the quality of beaches, on a holiday in Ayia Napa, Cyprus you won't have to compromise on either. The frenetic Napa Square and surrounding area boasts over 250 clubs and bars, catering for music tastes of all description from funky house to cheesy dance classics. And what's more nearby there's the stunning Nissi Beach – a huge, wide expanse of pristine white sand lapped by warm, azure water that can hold its own against any beach on the Med.
Other party beach resorts of note include Gumbet in Turkey, Magaluf in Majorca and Playa de las Americas in Tenerife.

Improving quality of care in the United States is one of three pressing problems in health care today. Access for all and reductions in the rate of cost growth are the other two. But, as in most areas of health, these challenges are interrelated. Relationships between quality and cost have dominated the research and public literature of late. A brief historical review is instructive as we think through key interventions for the future.
In the mid 1960s, the physician Avedis Donabedian provided a model for evaluating and improving the health care system. The Donabedian Model indicated that the structure of delivery organizations influenced the processes of care employed, and that the processes of care influenced resulting outcomes for patients. Since then, multiple organizations and groups have focused on several areas in a sequential manner. Each of these activities has involved herculean efforts with sometimes modest success and with frequent negative or neutral results. A few comments follow about each method.
Enumerating optimal processes of care - This method can be fairly straightforward on a one-by-one basis, such as using beta blockers or aspirin after a heart attack. What becomes more complicated is the creation of composite measures of quality, and the jury is still out on the best way to achieve this. How should each of the processes be "weighted" in a composite index? The obvious answer is according to their impact on outcomes, but information on the individual effect of several processes on outcomes is hard to come by. Hence, individuals typically combine all the effects. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) used such an approach in the Health Quality Demonstration Project (HQI) [1].
Disseminating the use of known processes of care - This has been at the heart of the work of the Institute for Health Improvement (IHI) for decades. IHI differentiates between pure diffusion and active dissemination, which is their ultimate goal. In addition to the need for an improvement "campaign," the IHI emphasizes involvement of top leadership at all institutions, the evaluation of results by qualitative and quantitative approaches, an understanding of the variation in measures across sites and a determination of its causes, and a review of improvement over time.
Improving health care outcomes - While this is clearly the goal of the health care system, quantifying results is easier said than done. On a global level, recent work [2] has indicated that the United States has made great progress in improving health over time. Documenting this fact took years and considerable resources. However, most health care insurers, systems, providers, and patients are interested in more granular information, such as how outcomes for disease x or procedure y differ across delivery sites or providers. The data to obtain accurate measures of these outcomes tend to be insufficient in most situations, with the notable exception of cardiology and cardiac surgery.
Public reporting - Building on the approaches to measuring processes and outcomes of care, public reporting has been used in several states and by several insurers and private groups such as Castlight Health. One common approach to public reporting provides data on outcomes as related to volume, or so-called "volume-outcome" relationships.
Pay for performance - Originally, this was a promising approach to improving patient care. However, its use in the United Kingdom, one of the first implementation sites, proved ineffective when evaluated for its effect on process measures for several chronic conditions [3]. One of the largest U.S. studies on the impact of pay for performance on 30-day mortality after an acute myocardial infarction showed no effect [4].
Bundled or budgeted payments - This method has been introduced as a way of linking cost-conscious behavior with improved outcomes. One recent study reviewed a prototypical example-the impact of the Alternative Quality Contract in Massachusetts on outcomes [5]. It showed a modest effect on underlying growth in medical spending, while slightly improving quality of care for chronic care management, adult preventive care, and some aspects of pediatric care. In one study, a national program, Accountable Care Organizations, was associated with lower spending but not with consistently improved quality [6].
Where do these issues and data lead us? We have a long way to go before fully understanding how to improve quality in its multiple dimensions, while simultaneously restraining cost growth. Learning from multiple disciplines will help us on this journey. At the least, we need to emphasize the second imperative: "Promoting Novel Approaches to Process Improvement." We must understand what process measures to develop and emphasize, and then implement them in innovative ways that ensure quality of care, cost-effectiveness, and accessibility for all.
What process improvements do you think have really moved the needle on costs, quality or access?

British rock group
Gary Herman, The Who (1972), an early biography, offers useful cultural background and insights. Dave Marsh, Before I Get Old: The Story of the Who (1983), is much more detailed but loses interest in the group after Keith Moon's death. Billed as a visual history, Richard Barnes, The Who: Maximum R&B, rev. ed (1996), offers an insider's perspective as well as extraordinary images. Keith Moon has been the subject of several books, including Dougal Butler, Full Moon (also published as Moon the Loon, 1981), a vivid ramble of recollections by his personal assistant. Tony Fletcher, Moon: The Life and Death of a Rock Legend (1998), is far more ambitious and credible. Ed Hanel (compiler), The Who: An Illustrated Discography (1981); Joe McMichael and "Irish" Jack Lyons, The Who Concert File (1997); and Stephen Wolter and Karen Kimber, The Who in Print: An Annotated Bibliography, 1965 Through 1990 (1992), are for serious students of the Who.

Disney's 'Tomorrowland' plot preview: George Clooney and cast start production
Disney is finally revealing more about the plot to the top secret George Clooney film, "Tomorrowland."
An announcement about the start of production on the Brad Bird ("The Incredibles," "Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol") and Damon Lindelof ("Star Trek," "Prometheus") venture also includes the following plot synopsis:
"Bound by a shared destiny, a bright, optimistic teen bursting with scientific curiosity and a former boy-genius inventor jaded by disillusionment embark on a danger-filled mission to unearth the secrets of an enigmatic place somewhere in time and space that exists in their collective memory as 'Tomorrowland.'"
If the story sounds at all familiar, it may be because it mimics somewhat a supposedly
synopsis that has been passed around by various websites.
Disney says filming is now underway in Vancouver. In addition to Clooney, the "Tomorrowland" cast features Britt Robertson ("Under The Dome"), Hugh Laurie ("House M.D."), Raffey Cassidy ("Snow White and the Huntsman") and Thomas Robinson ("The Protector").
"Tomorrowland" will be in theaters Dec. 12, 2014.
