FM/a®, The FM Test, is the first breakthrough test to diagnose fibromyalgia via a simple blood test, with results usually available in one week or less.
Most fibromyalgia patients spend an average of five painful years and thousands of dollars annually to get a fibromyalgia diagnosis. For $744, The FM Test now makes it possible to know if you have fibromyalgia in a fraction of the time and money patients currently spend seeking a diagnosis.
FM/a® is a multi-biomarker-based test which concerns immune system white blood chemokine and cytokine patterns. Patients with fibromyalgia have a significantly dysregulated pattern regarding these proteins. Test results are based upon a 1-100 scoring system, with fibromyalgia patients having scores of 50 and above.
The FM Test is more than 93 percent sensitive, a sensitivity comparable to the HIV blood test. By comparison the rheumatoid arthritis blood test is only 65 percent sensitive. No medical test is 100 percent accurate.The FM Test is only available upon the order of a licensed physician.

H1B Process
The H1B visa classification may be granted to a foreign national who will perform services (work) in a speciality occupation. A specialty occupation requires theoretical and practical application of a body of highly specialized knowledge to fully perform the requirement duties, and the attainment of a bachelor's or higher degree in the specific field as a minimum for entry into the occupation.
The academic department files on behalf of the employee for the H1B visa status. The department is referred to as the "petitioner" and the employee is the "beneficiary". The academic unit, the Center for International Education and the prospective employee all play different roles in completing this process. The H1B for Department is a summary of the process, outlines who is responsible for what, and includes a form, "Request to Initiate H1B Process." The LCA Authorization Form is also required.
The H1B for Employee information should be given by academic departments to the prospective employee after an offer has been made and the process has been initiated with the Center for International Education.
Outlined below is a list of responsibilities and documents needed to file a petition for an H1B application.
CIE and the academic department and/or College/School collaborate on the following:
- A completed Request to Initiate H1B Process (Department)
- A copy of the written contract/letter of offer (Department)
- An approved LCA (initiated by CIE/ISSS, signed by department)
- Form I-129 (initiated by CIE/ISSS, signed by department)
- $500 Anti Fraud Fee (Department)
- Some departments pay the I-129 Fee of $325.00, some departments require the beneficiary to pay the $325.00 fee. It is the department's responsibility to convey this information to the beneficiary.
- Evidence of UWM's non-profit status (CIE/ISSS)
The Employee is responsible for the following:
- A copy of a U.S. baccalaureate or higher degree or the foreign equivalent (if a non-U.S. degree, it must be accompanied by both a translation and certification of equivalence from a professional credential evaluation firm)
- Transcripts
- A copy of the employee's detailed resume/CV
- A copy of the cover page of any articles or books published by the employee

Twenty years ago this month, Tim Berners-Lee, ayoung scientist at the European Laboratory for Particle Physics (CERN), worked on a better way to communicate and share research information stored on computers at the CERN facility. The result was a browser and editor that could enable information sharing through a common hypertext language. The result was the world's very first website. The project was started to allow high energy physicists to share data, news and documentation, and it quickly spread. Now, it touches nearly all aspects of our daily life.

Well be honest, the S10 has plastic all over too ;-)
The thing is, the engineers are forced by upcoming European laws to do something about the horrendous bad feul economy of motorbikes, if you look at cars (and politicians don't understand much of aerodynamics) they say, its quite inbelievable a 1200 kg car is as efficcient as a 250 kg motorbike, hauling 4 four people instead of 2.
So the new planned Euro 4 thats planned could have also a fuel consumption rule, not only a ppm measure, its still all just planning talks, but it could get bikes with incredable mileage, like the Heron heads did for te MM3,5 in the 70's.
So it could be, we not lose power that much, because feul economy is in essence getting *all* power out of the gas. Now feul is getting more and more bike and eco unfriendly with the high percentage of food mixed through it, there will be a huge gain if they tune the bikes better to eating maizefeul :-)
(though i find it ridiculous, to mix falkuable food through our gas, but thats more something for another forum...)

"THE room flew apart in a split second. Everything came out of the ceiling, and concrete slabs popped out of the floor as the building torqued." Brian Clark is recalling his experience of a plane hitting the south-east corner of the World Trade Center's south tower just three floors below where he was standing. The impact twisted the 110-storey building anticlockwise - and then, for 10 seconds, Clark recalls, things got really frightening.
"I sensed that the building was swaying one way - a long way - towards the Hudson River," he says. "The sensation was that the building went 6 to 8 feet, stopped, and then came back to vertical." From then on, he says, he felt in control. What he didn't know at the time was that he only had 56 minutes to find a passage down from the 84th floor before the tower collapsed.

Gulfstream has strengthened its dominance of the coveted ultra-long-range business jet sector with the launch in May of its G650ER.
The 7,500nm (13,875km), 16 passenger aircraft will sit at the top of the Savannah-based airframer's family of twin-engined business jets, and will possess the longest legs of any in-service business jet to date.
Gulfstream now boasts a family of six business jets positioned in the top half of the business aircraft spectrum.
The line-up includes Gulfstream's entry-level offering, the $15.7 million, 3,000nm range midsize G150 as well as the $24.5 million, 3,600nm super-midsize G280. In the large cabin sector the company has the $42.2 million, 4,350nm G450 and the $60 million, 6,750nm G550; while in the ultra-long-range sector it now has the $64.5 million 7,000nm G650 and the $66.5 million G650ER.
This niche business aircraft category has been left largely unscathed by the financial downturn due to the continued demand for these high-end aircraft from the world's wealthy elite and global corporations.
"We had a great response to the aircraft following its launch," says Gulfstream's senior vice president of sales and marketing, Scott Neal.
"Customers had been asking for more range and capability. While the baseline G650 covers a huge numbers of city pairs with its 7,000nm range, there are always people who need to fly further. The 650ER will be the only business aircraft in the world capable of travelling 7,500nm."
This additional range opens city-pairs such as Dallas and Dubai and San Francisco and New Delhi, according to Gulfstream. The G650ER demonstrator recently completed long-distance flights from Los Angeles to Melbourne and from Hong Kong and New York, to establish the aircraft's performance credentials.
To accommodate this extra range, the G650ER incorporates about 1,810kg (4,000lb) of extra fuel compared with the G650. This has been added without the need to strengthen the airframe structure and landing gear or increase engine thrust, the airframer says.
Although the structure is maintained, Gulfstream had to tweak the system that monitors fuel flow and the G650ER's flight management software.
Take-off distance for the flagship model is extended slightly by just over 440ft (134m) to 6,299ft, in order to preserve the 10,000h time between overhaul rating of the Rolls-Royce BR725 A1-12 engines, which also power the G650, Gulfstream says.
Maximum ramp weight and fuel weight are also increased by 1,810kg to 46,990kg and 21,860kg respectively.
Despite the extra weight the G650ER will share the same ceiling and operating speeds of the G650, including its Mach 0.85 normal cruise and Mach 0.925 maximum cruise speeds.
"The G650ER provides the mission flexibility to fly longer routes at higher cruise speeds or carry heavier payloads on shorter missions," says Gulfstream. "Cruising at near Mach 0.90 the G650ER will comfortably carry eight people 6,400nm."
With the exception of the minor adjustments, the G650ER is identical to its stablemate. It features the same choice of 12 interiors and floorplans, 16 large panoramic windows and Gulfstream's bespoke cabin management system, along with its Honeywell Primus Epic-based PlaneView II cockpit with enhanced vision systems and head up display.
"The ER will build on the success of the G650, which already flies father than any other in-service traditional business jet to date," says Neal.
The G650 was launched in 2010 and became "Gulfstream's most successful product introduction ever," Neal says.
The aircraft was originally unveiled with a 6,000nm range, but Gulfstream added 1,000nm to the specification sheet as the type achieved certification in 2012.
The G650 has been in service for around 20 months and by the middle of July, 70 examples of the type were in service, according to Flightglobal's Ascend fleet database.
Half of the G650 customers are based in North America, followed by Europe with 19% and Asia-Pacific with 9% of the global inventory.
Gulfstream will not disclose the size of the orderbook for the G650ER, but Ascend reveals the airframer has secured 61 sales for the G650 family, and a letter of intent for another ten aircraft. "Many of our G650 customers have converted to the ER model and we have also secured new ER orders since its launch," Neal says.
Private individuals, government and corporations are the bedrock of the G650 global customer base, Neal says. Global brands such as ExxonMobil, Nike, Pfizer, Starbucks and Walt Disney are already members of this exclusive owners' club, according to Ascend.
For Gulfstream, the corporate sector is less stable than other markets. "There is always more pressure on corporations to assess their spending requirements when the economy isn't doing well, and this will have an impact on aircraft sales," says Neal. In contrast the exclusive high net worth individual segment has provided a constant and steady stream of new customers. "Private customers have predictable purchasing cycles which are less affected by a financial downturn," says Neal. "Despite this, we are seeing good activity and encouraging signs across both of these sectors now."
The popularity of the G650 series is manifested in the three-year waiting list for the twinjet.
This is not a setback for Gulfstream, however. "This is a short waiting time compared to the eight-year backlogs that were typical at the height of the market in 2007," Neal says. "Owners that don't want to wait for an aircraft are given the choice of a G550 or G450 to use until their aircraft is ready for delivery. This is a popular option."
Click to enlarge
Less patient buyers have turned to the used aircraft market for instant gratification. However, the strong demand and lengthy lead times have impacted the price and availability of the G650. According to Tim Barber, director of international aircraft broker Jet Brokers Europe, G650 sellers can ask for prices in excess of $70 million. "We seem to be back to the heady days of 2007 as far the G650 is concerned," he says. "It is simply a case of supply and demand. The demand is there but the supply is not. There isn't a single G650 for sale right now."
This is welcome news for Gulfstream and its customers, many of whom Neal says have converted their existing G650 orders into the ER versions that will begin rolling off the production line in the second half of 2015. A number of existing G650 owners have signed up for the $2 million ER retrofit, which will be offered throughout Gulfstream's service centre network from early next year. "People are taking the ER because of its resale value," says Gulfstream's vice president of communications Steve Cass.
Aerospace analyst Richard Aboulafia praises Gulfstream's strategy in blazing a trail in the lucrative ultra-long-range sector. "Gulfstream is also doing a great job leveraging its brand, which is about the best in the business," he says.
"It is very smart to attack this segment for the following reasons. One, it's clear that part of the market will pay any price for the very biggest and most capable product it can get, so why not seize the high ground? Two, Bombardier, its direct competitor, clearly has its hands full with the CSeries and Lear 85. That gives Gulfstream complete dominance of this new segment for five years, at least."
Gulfstream's product has a lengthy head start on its nearest rivals – Bombadier's 7,300nm range Global 7000 and 7,900nm range Global 8000 – which are scheduled to enter service in 2016 and 2017 respectively.
Dassault's 6,450nm range Falcon 8X, which sits at the lower end of the ultra long-range sector, is also slated for service entry in 2016.
"We expect to have delivered more than 200 G650/ERs by then," Cass says, "firmly establishing our dominance of this sector."
While the Gulfstream dominance of the ultra-long-range sector is not in doubt, Aboulafia warns that the market appeal of the G650ER will inevitably impact sales of the G650. "The 650 and 650ER are basically pursuing the same market segment," he says. "Either the 650ER will cannibalise the 650's market presence, or make the 650 altogether obsolete."
Cass dismisses these concerns. "There is plenty of demand for both models, and we continue to produce them side-by-side," he says.

I am currently in the pre-season of my junior year of wrestling. I only started as a sophomore and it was extremely difficult because most other kids had at least three years of experience. I am probably the most inexperienced wrestler on my team.
I feel kind of like my coach didn't fully understand this and I missed out on a lot of the basics without much one on one time with him. This is evident in my wrestling, a lot of times i cant quite take somebody down, can't quite turn someone, i sit there in a leg ride without knowing where to go, things like that. I feel like I can't quite get deep enough in on my shots.
Its also frustrating that I don't know how to use my muscle to my advantage in wrestling. I weigh 150 with no body fat and i'm five six. I don't know if I think of wrestling as too much of me trying to overpower someone and I need to work on my technique more, or I'm overpowering people in the wrong way or what.
I'm going to talk to my coach and have him help me out with the most basic stuff, because I know a lot of techniques but I can't get to the point I can use them in a real match, but any tips and advice you have for me to try while I'm practicing would be great.

Zeb Colter at Wrestlemania
In case you have not noticed, Zeb Colter has been absent from Monday Night Raw and Smackdown for quite some time now. WWE did an injury angle backstage to explain his absence. At the time, no one was sure of when he would be making his return. Word is now spreading that we could see him making a comeback at Wrestlemania. He would accompany Jack Swagger to the ring for the Andre the Giant memorial battle royal.
March 5, 2015
Rusev losing US title
In order to push him higher up the ladder, WWE will eventually be required to take the United States Heavyweight Championship off of Rusev. However, people backstage do not want to see John Cena picking up the strap because it would seem like a demotion for his character. An idea being tossed around backstage is to have Cena helping another wrestler, such as Jack Swagger or Curtis Axel, win the belt from the Russian sympathizer.
March 5, 2015
Zeb Colter return
According to rumors, there have been no timetable set backstage by WWE for the return of Zeb Colter. While officials still view him as a valuable asset for the company, there is no sense of urgency in bringing him back, especially since there are no plans for pushing Jack Swagger from now until Wrestlemania. Since that is the case, there is a good chance that they might hold off the well spoken manager until that point in time.
January 26, 2015
Jack Swagger release
Since WWE is pushing him back down the ladder and making him a filler wrestler, there are those that are naturally concerned about the job security of Jack Swagger. As of right now, he appears to be safe. Even with his previous legal issues, he still has some supporters backstage. Plus, the former world heavyweight champion still has enough name value that he could be of some assistance to TNA, who has started signing wrestlers again.

THEY survived a "mission to Mars" that helped us understand the challenges of isolation. Now the crew who participated in a mock trip to the Red Planet may have helped overturn a long-standing assumption of how our body deals with dietary salt.
The Mars 500 mission, which ended in November 2011, was a dry run for a real Mars mission. It saw six volunteers confined for 520 days in a mocked-up spacecraft at the State Research Centre Institute for Biomedical Problems in Moscow, Russia. It also provided a chance to perform otherwise difficult experiments on diet.
It is known that dietary salt is rapidly excreted in urine. As it passes through the kidneys it helps them to eliminate unwanted fluids. But too much salt in the bloodstream can hamper the ability of kidneys to remove water, increasing blood pressure and adversely affecting health.
It is a challenge to measure the long-term effects of salt because of difficulties in regulating dietary intake. However, Mars 500 "mission controllers" were able to dictate the amount of salt that the crew received each day.
During this mission, and a preliminary mission with a different crew that lasted 105 days, 12 crew members consumed either 6, 9 or 12 grams of salt per day for 29 to 60 days. Previous research suggests that there should be roughly the same amount of salt in urine as has been eaten that day. Instead, the crew excreted different amounts each day, revealing a six to seven-day cycle of salt retention and excretion. The patterns varied between crew members, but were consistent within individuals. For example, on a 12-gram daily salt diet a crew member might excrete as little as 6 grams on day three of the cycle, and peak at 18 grams on day five (Cell Metabolism, DOI: 10.1016/j.cemet.2012.11.013).
The fluctuations tallied with levels of the hormones aldosterone and cortisol. It is not yet known why the cycles lasted six to seven days. Jens Titze of Vanderbilt University School of Medicine in Nashville, Tennessee, who headed the study, suspects it could be influenced by sleep. In the 105-day mission, crew members performed a night shift every six days. Blood pressure on the morning after a night shift was higher compared with day shifts. No night shifts were performed during the experiment on the longer mission, however.
Graham MacGregor of the Wolfson Institute of Preventive Medicine in London says the results are fascinating, but don't compromise previous studies. "It doesn't matter if there are [cyclic] fluctuations, because if you average single results across a large number of people, you'll still get a close correlation between the salt going in and out," he says.
Together with previous animal studies, the fluctuations indicate that salt might be stored away from the kidneys, which might otherwise sustain damage through salt overload. Subsequent MRI scans performed by Titze suggest that muscle and skin may also store salt. These results will be published in March, but more work is needed to identify how such storage might affect health.

Marilyn Monroe, Jean Harlow, Seka, Ginger Lynn, Jenna Jameson: Blondes just have more fun. There's no arguing that blondes set a standard for carefree, sexy allure, and ever since we started watching them on film we have wanted them in our beds (and bent over our couches, and
lounging around on our boats…) From the beginning of porn, the greatest stars have been blondes – Marilyn Chambers, Amber Lynn, Janine Lindemulder, Julia Ann (who formed Blondage with Jenna Jameson) Gina Lynn, and uncountable others have made the blonde something that everyone can enjoy. Obviously, no studio has a corner on the blonde market, but most of the big ones – Wicked, Vivid, Digital Playground – have some pretty hot ones in their stables of contract girls, including most of the aforementioned stars as well as girls like Savanna Samson, Monique Alexander, Stormy Daniels, jessica drake, and Jesse Jane. Whether they're natural blondes or they've turned to the bottle to help them out, they definitely do have more fun.

Memphis Mayor A C Wharton Jr. will probably continue to include the comeback of Overton Square in an election year roll call of economic development accomplishments even after being called out for his opposition to the city-funded Overton Square parking garage.
After serving less than a year on the Memphis City Council in 2011, Berlin Boyd is back on the council and working toward a longer stay.
Boyd was the pick of the other 12 council members Tuesday, Jan. 20, to fill the District 7 vacancy created when Lee Harris resigned to take his seat in the state Senate.
Two weeks after they ignored a proposed $43.1 million settlement of the six-year old schools funding legal standoff, Memphis City Council members Tuesday, Jan. 20, approved a $41.8 million settlement with Shelby County Schools.
At his last Memphis City Council session, Lee Harris reflected this week on his three years on the council and the group of politicians he joined.
The Tuesday, Jan. 6, session of the Memphis City Council is the first council meeting of 2015 and with it the debut of council member Myron Lowery as council chairman for the next year, succeeding Jim Strickland in the leadership position.
The longest-serving member of the Memphis City Council will be the 2015 chairman of the 13-member body.
Myron Lowery was elected by the council unanimously and without opposition Tuesday, Nov. 18. He succeeds Jim Strickland in the chairman's position.
Memphis City Council members voted down a water rate hike of 2.3 percent Tuesday, Nov. 18, proposed by Memphis Light Gas and Water Division. And the council voted down Memphis Mayor A C Wharton Jr.'s hybrid pension plan change for city employees with under 10 years on the job.
The administration of Mayor A C Wharton Jr. calls it SMART – Save Money And Reduce Trash. It's a rebranding of the slow move to a pay-as-you-throw concept for city garbage and trash pickup.
The Memphis City Council voted down Tuesday, Nov. 4, the move of a used car lot on land owned by Graceland to a lot further north on Elvis Presley Boulevard near the new 450-room resort style hotel Elvis Presley Enterprises is building.
It was a phrase guaranteed to put more diss in the dysfunction between the Memphis City Council and Memphis Mayor A C Wharton Jr.
And some on the council had plenty to say Tuesday, Oct. 7, about the weekend press release from Wharton announcing changes in the city's health insurance plan starting next year.
Memphis City Council members debated who is a "key member" of the body Tuesday, Oct. 7, as they delayed action on changes to city employee pensions into November.
The delay on third and final reading of several pension ordinances was expected. The items are now on the Oct. 21 council agenda. But council members expect there will not be a vote then either and city Chief Administrative Officer George Little said the administration can live with a further delay.
The political struggle to close the door and lock in changes to city health insurance coverage is proving to be a challenge for the Memphis City Council.
The council voted Tuesday, Sept. 16, to adjust the health insurance changes it approved in June to grandfather in for a year approximately 300 retirees and their spouses when it comes to the 70 percent subsidy on insurance premiums they currently get from the city.
Three retired Memphis Police officers and the widow of a Memphis Police officer filed suit Tuesday, Sept. 16, against the city of Memphis seeking a temporary restraining order to stop changes in city government health insurance benefits by the time the open enrollment period begins next month.
Memphis Fire Fighters Association president Thomas Malone takes the union's plan for reversing city employee and retiree health insurance coverage cutbacks to a city oversight committee Thursday, Aug. 21, on employee issues.
Memphis City Council member Janis Fullilove pulled the plug Tuesday, Aug. 19, on a proposed November referendum on a citywide half cent sales tax hike.
For the first time in months, Memphis City Council members have no committee discussions scheduled Tuesday, Aug. 19, on city health insurance benefits or proposed pension plan changes.
But the council will vote on the first in a series of pension plan changes to come.
After lingering for several weeks as the politically charged environment at City Hall has subsided some, the idea of a city sales tax hike to restore funding for health insurance cuts to city employees and retirees is moving. But it may not get very far.
Memphis City Council members approved Tuesday, Aug. 5, a tourism development zone application for the 120-acre Graceland campus and the master plan the zone would finance that includes a 450-room resort hotel and an archive exhibition space.
Most of council day at City Hall Tuesday, June 17, will be devoted to closing out most, but not all, of the city's budget season.
The Memphis City Council should make final decisions Tuesday on a stable city property tax rate and approve operating and capital budgets for the fiscal year that begins July 1.
Memphis Mayor A C Wharton Jr.'s administration would move the Memphis Police Department, information technology services and six city agencies renting offices on Union Avenue Extended into the Donnelley J. Hill office building if the city goes through with a plan to swap the office building with state government in exchange for parking spaces in the Peabody Place garage.
A Cooper-Young parking garage and a pool of capital funding divided equally among the seven Memphis City Council districts are the two biggest ticket items in the way of still-tentative budget amendments proposed by council members.
Memphis City Council members took the first steps Tuesday, June 3, toward major changes in pension benefits for city employees and began delving into the details of even broader changes in health insurance coverage for city employees and retirees.
The Memphis City Council on Tuesday, May 6, got its first detailed look at the Memphis Police Department's budget proposal, which was followed by the council starting the process of bringing back to life the Police Civilian Review Board. That would begin with a series of community meetings and recommendations from a citizens group in August.
The ongoing fallout from the backlog of untested rape kits is beginning to develop some boundaries and dividing lines as it moves into federal court and expands outside court to include a backlog of 300 rape kits by the Shelby County Sheriff's Department.
If the city is going to spend money on a renovation of the Southbrook Mall in Whitehaven, it should be part of a larger plan for Whitehaven and tie in to the aerotropolis concept.
That's what city Housing and Community Development Director Robert Lipscomb said Tuesday, April 15, as he outlined a $6.5 million plan for turning the mall into a "town center" that includes some city government offices and private retail.
The city of Memphis would move government offices into two shopping malls and the Soulsville Town Center under tentative "conceptual" plans Memphis Mayor A C Wharton Jr. took Tuesday, Feb. 18, to the Memphis City Council.
Memphis City Council members heard Tuesday, Feb. 18, that the administration of Memphis Mayor A C Wharton Jr. wants to move some city government offices into the Soulsville Town Center in South Memphis and is weighing whether to renovate or tear down and build anew on the site of the Southbrook Mall in Whitehaven.
Memphis City Council members get a look at plans for the redevelopment of two shopping malls Tuesday, Feb. 18.
But the council's last meeting for February apparently won't include any presentation of a proposal to change the benefits of new city hires and city employees with less than 10 years on the job, as promised earlier by Memphis Mayor A C Wharton Jr.'s administration.
What began as a plan last year for $1.5 million in city funding to fix the roof and make other repairs at Whitehaven's Southbrook Mall has now become a larger and probably more expensive plan for development in a broad area of Whitehaven.
MAE BE ONTO SOMETHING. State Sen. Mae Beavers – really, that's her name – has offered legislation that makes it against the law in Tennessee to obey the law in the United States – really, I couldn't possibly make that up.
When most of the members of the Memphis City Council were elected in 2007 in the largest turnover of seats in the history of the council, some of the new members made their first priority increasing the ranks of the Memphis Police Department.
Memphis City Council member Janis Fullilove has pulled a qualifying petition to run for Shelby County Clerk in the 2014 county elections.
Fullilove pulled the petition to run in the May 6 Democratic primary.
Memphis City Council member Lee Harris will be chairman of the council's budget committee for 2014.
Memphis City Council member Janis Fullilove has pulled a qualifying petition to run for Shelby County clerk in the 2014 county elections.
Since August, Memphis City Council members have been reviewing the numbers. Asking questions about them. Verifying them. Categorizing them.
It is the other numbers discussion at City Hall these days – the one about how many rape kits city agencies took on sexual assault victims that the Memphis Police Department never processed over a period of approximately 30 years.
Memphis City Council members are already starting to adapt some items in a set of proposed changes in how they conduct business.
The proposal took a bit longer to formulate than originally anticipated.
Memphis Mayor A C Wharton Jr.'s administration is working on a broader plan for economic development in Whitehaven that will include a renovation and possible public use of Southbrook Mall.
That's what city Chief Administrative Officer George Little told Memphis City Council members Tuesday, Dec. 17.
Memphis City Council members again rejected Tuesday, Dec. 17, an increase in the city's monthly solid waste fee and affirmed a 2.1 percent hike in the Memphis Light Gas and Water Division water rate hike.
December was already going to be a busy month at City Hall for the administration of Memphis Mayor A C Wharton Jr.
He would be bringing a plan to provide $15 million in city financing for the $180 million Crosstown revitalization project and rolling out its fix to address the Tennessee Comptroller's vocal concerns about the city's unfunded pension liability.
It is a political constant in life at City Hall for Memphis City Council members to complain that they get critical information much too late in the decision-making process and then are pressured by the mayor to make a decision then and there.
Memphis City Council members take a final vote Tuesday, Nov. 19, on a retirement supplement for city sanitation workers that is one part of an overhaul of sanitation services the council delayed action on last month.
After years of talking about new parking meters and more aggressive enforcement of the Downtown and Medical Center on-street parking governed by the meters, city leaders thought it best to bring out the new meters as proof that the change is actually about to happen.
Memphis City Council members profoundly disagree with one another on how far the city should go to fund a renovation of Southbrook Mall in Whitehaven.
But both sides of the council discussion were of one mind Tuesday, Nov. 5, about their dissatisfaction with the qualified support the administration of Memphis Mayor A C Wharton Jr. has gradually given to the project.
Memphis City Council members voted Tuesday, Nov. 5, to start over again in plans to find a legal use for city funds in renovating the Southbrook Mall in Whitehaven.
And the administration of Memphis Mayor A C Wharton Jr. gave a qualified endorsement through what amounts to a new feasibility study on the mall due before the council in a month.
Three Memphis City Council members continue to look at the council's rules of procedure and how those rules are enforced as the council prepares for the annual election of a new chairman for the new year.
A trio of Memphis City Council members weighing possible changes to the council's way of conducting business has more questions at the outset than answers about what kind of conduct is allowed and what shouldn't be on the elected body.
Memphis City Council member Janis Fullilove pushed hard for $1.5 million in city funding for the renovation of Southbrook Mall in Whitehaven.
Memphis City Council members sent a plan Tuesday, Oct. 15, to settle the last barrier to direct day to day city control of the Beale Street entertainment district to a federal bankruptcy judge.
The council approved a resolution that would use $400,000 from a dormant city fund related to the abandoned Midtown interstate corridor and $100,000 in revenues it has collected from the Beale Street district to pay off a loan Beale Street developer John Elkington took out for improvements he made to Handy Park.
The city's looming pension liability crisis and the proposed solution to it intersected Tuesday, Oct. 1, with a plan to overhaul city sanitation services and, in the process, provide a pension supplement to sanitation workers.
Memphis City Council members are scheduled to take a final vote Tuesday, Oct. 1, on raising the city's monthly solid waste fee to $25.05.
Raising the fee to what it was before the July 1 start of the current fiscal year would put into motion plans by Memphis Mayor A C Wharton Jr.'s administration to change over several years the way the city handles solid waste pickup.
Shelby County Commissioners bring the countywide school board up to its full strength of seven members Monday, Sept. 9, by appointing someone to the open District 6 seat.
The commission meets at 1:30 p.m. at the Vasco Smith County Administration Building, 160 N. Main St.
Memphis City Council members approved a four-month moratorium Tuesday, Sept. 3, on any new demolition permits for city properties listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
But the resolution was amended to not apply to any demolition permits already issued, including the one for the Nineteenth Century Club building in Midtown. The planned demolition of the property by its new owners to make way for a restaurant is on hold, pending a Chancery Court decision on whether the club's sale of the property was legal.
A backlog of thousands of unprocessed rape kits, some dating back to the 1980s, has gone from a plan to process them to a new DNA evidence storage room for the Memphis Police Department.
Memphis Police Director Toney Armstrong said Tuesday, Sept. 3, the new evidence storage room would be built at the current police impound lot at the old International Harvester plant in Frayser.
The Memphis City Council sent a proposed lease of Handy Park on Beale Street back to committee Tuesday, Sept. 3, for more discussion about the details.
And the council approved on the first of three readings a restoration of the city's solid waste fee to $25.05 a month. But there were conflicting explanations about which part of an overhaul of sanitation services the restoration of the fee is supposed to be aimed at.
The Memphis City Council's sharpest debate during a Tuesday, Aug. 20, council agenda with several major issues wasn't about Smart Meters or changes in garbage pickup.
It was about "several thousand" rape kits Memphis Police have – some dating back to the 1980s – that investigators never processed.
Memphis City Council members approved a $10.1 million contract Tuesday, Aug. 20, for Memphis Light Gas and Water Division to buy 60,000 Smart Meters.
And the council delayed a final vote on setting a solid waste fee that is the starting point for changes over several years to the way the city collects garbage. The two-week delay in setting the fee also delays acting on a plan to provide sanitation workers with a retirement supplement of up to $1,000 a month funded with the savings from the changes in the services.
The Memphis City Council's long-running debate over the use of Smart Meters by Memphis Light, Gas and Water Division with time-of-use rates is expected to reach a critical phase at the council's Tuesday, Aug. 20, session.
The Memphis City Council approved a change Tuesday, Aug. 6, in the current fiscal year's budget that would take $469,040 in city funding for the Economic Development Growth Engine organization and instead allocate it to the Memphis Area Transit Authority.
A plan by some on the Memphis City Council to declare a four-month moratorium on all demolitions of Memphis properties on the National Register of Historic Places was put off this week after questions about the legality of the moratorium.
Memphis City Council members won't be holding a referendum on a half percent hike in the city sales tax rate in November when suburban voters are electing school boards.
The council instead approved on third and final reading Tuesday, Aug. 6, a referendum on a special election ballot some time in October.
A day before the board of the Memphis Area Transit Authority votes on significant cuts in bus and trolley service, the Memphis City Council will review $2.1 million in capital spending for the authority.
Three police precincts Memphis Police Director Toney Armstrong said earlier might have to close if his department continues to take budget cuts will not close in the current fiscal year or the next.
The union representing Memphis Light, Gas and Water Division employees, including meter readers, plans to take its problems with Smart Meters to the road – the side of the road.
Leaders of International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 1288 said Monday, July 8, they intend to put up billboards warning the public of what they say are the dangers of the new meters the utility plans to seek city funding for later this year.
Call it a "budget resolution." A week after the Memphis City Council set the city's operating budget, capital budget and a property tax rate of $3.40, council members and Memphis Mayor A C Wharton Jr. resolved Tuesday, July 2, to continue making changes in City Hall's financial practices.
Memphis Mayor A C Wharton Jr. wants to hire a city "revenue officer" as a next step in efforts to change financial practices at City Hall.
Wharton also set a schedule of monthly goals through the end of 2013 to discuss with the council such major financial issues as pension plan obligations and employee benefits.
Memphis City Council members raised the city property tax rate Tuesday, June 26, by four cents above the recertified tax rate and put the rest of a turbulent budget season to rest.
The approval of the $3.40 property tax rate and city operating and capital budgets came in a council session that ended at 12:30 a.m. Wednesday morning.
The Memphis City Council voted Tuesday, June, 18, to slash $250,000 from the budget of the Economic Development Growth Engine for Memphis and Shelby County.
The council's vote will not be final until it approves a city budget at its next meeting on June 25.
The numbers at play so far in the Memphis City Council's long budget season are big.
Council members tallied $24.4 million in city operating budget cuts Tuesday, June 18, in a marathon seven-hour session before an overflow crowd of angry city employees.
For now, Memphis City Council members have more questions than consensus about which end is up on the proposed city budget for the fiscal year that is three weeks away.
Beyond the questions awaits a significant difference of opinion among council members about the general direction city finances should take with the new fiscal year and beyond.
The administration of Memphis Mayor A C Wharton Jr. is proposing a 14-cent city property tax hike on top of the 25 cents added to the current rate of $3.11 to compensate for property value lost in the 2013 property reappraisal.
Memphis City Council members looking for a five-year budget plan of some kind last week were told by city Chief Financial Officer Robert Lipscomb that most of the ideas hadn't been properly vetted yet.
Memphis City Council members were looking Thursday, May 30, for a new budget plan to get City Hall on new financial footing after a state comptroller's office report critical of city financial practices.
Jay Bailey pictured marching bands and floats when his mother told him he was going on a march.
"We thought of it as a parade," said Bailey, who was 6 years old in March 1968. "We thought of it as something fun."
Memphis City Council members approved Tuesday, Feb. 19, plans for a tourism development zone to capture sales tax revenue in a large area for a renovation of the Fairgrounds property at first.
The boundaries of the zone go to the state for approval and city Community and Housing Development division director Robert Lipscomb said such a proposal could be at the state building commission in Nashville in April.
40 THINGS TO DO WITHOUT. Lent has begun – a season of reflection and sacrifice for believers seeking spiritual strength, a season bridging the gray gloom of winter and the green promise of spring for those seeking renewal, a season of waffles and chicken hash for those seeking comfort in the caloric basement of Calvary Church – 40 days of all of that for me.
The Memphis City Council approved on the first of three readings Tuesday, Feb. 5, the ordinance setting up a referendum on a citywide half cent sales tax hike to be held "by Sept. 30, 2013."
The Memphis City Council delayed to its first meeting in February a committee discussion about a proposal by council member Myron Lowery to rename Nathan Bedford Forrest Park to include the name of Ida B. Wells, the anti-lynching crusader of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
A referendum on a half percent city sales tax hike to fund a city pre kindergarten expansion and roll back the city property tax rate by 20 cents would happen in August or September instead of May.
Crime numbers may be the most politically volatile set of statistics elected officials can debate or rely on.
The statistics mean little to someone who has been a crime victim. But they are a way of validating whether public money is being spent effectively. On the other hand, how crimes are counted always will be debated.
Timing did what decades of offers and counter-offers couldn't do when it came to changing who collects current and delinquent property taxes for Memphis.
The City Council approved Tuesday, Dec. 18, an interlocal agreement for Shelby County Trustee David Lenoir to collect property taxes for the city.
Memphis City Council members recommended Tuesday, Oct. 16, sending a plan to the Land Use Control Board that calls for the revitalization of the Vance Avenue area and leaves the Foote Homes public housing development intact.
A fatal police shooting Monday evening in Wooddale is turning into a question about whether Toney Armstrong will remain as Memphis Police Director.
Michael Williams, president of the Memphis Police Association, said Wednesday, Sept. 26, that Armstrong – director of police for a year and a half – "hasn't really been given the opportunity to be the police director" by Memphis Mayor A C Wharton Jr.
The Memphis City Council Tuesday, Sept. 18, approved adding the name of the new owner of the Memphis Grizzlies basketball franchise to the lease on FedExForum.
The city and county own FedExForum and the NBA franchise leases the forum from both local governments.
The Memphis City Council amended an anti-discrimination ordinance covering city government to include banning discrimination based on sexual orientation.
But the council then delayed a vote on the ordinance for a month after the city attorney and the council's attorney raised questions about whether the addition amounts to a change in the city charter.
Memphis City Council members voted Tuesday, Aug. 21, to end city funding for vehicle inspections at the end of June 2013.
The 10-2 council vote followed months of discussion among council members about Shelby County government or the state of Tennessee assuming responsibility for the car and truck inspections.
When 10 of the 13 Memphis City Council members get together around a table it is usually in their committee room on the fifth floor of City Hall for their regular meetings.
But last week they gathered in Memphis Mayor A C Wharton Jr.'s seventh-floor conference room at his request.
If Memphis voters approve a gas tax increase on the Nov. 6 ballot, the Memphis Area Transit Authority will have what it has for years said it lacks to provide better service – a dedicated source of continuing funding.
Memphis City Council members gave final approval Tuesday, Aug. 7, to a second ballot question for the Nov. 6 ballot in Memphis.
On an 8-3 vote, the council approved on third and final reading the referendum ordinance that puts a one-cent-a-gallon local gas tax to Memphis voters. The same ballot will also include a referendum on a proposed half percent local sales tax hike the council approved in July.
Bankruptcy filings in West Tennessee increased overall in the second quarter of 2012, although Chapter 7 bankruptcies, filed by the most hard-pressed debtors, fell slightly, according to The Daily News Online, www.memphisdailynews.com.
Memphis City Council members approved a $3.11 city property tax rate Tuesday, June 5, to fund a city operating budget of $609,802,357 and Memphis City Schools to the tune of $64,819,307.
The split council vote came nearly 14 hours after the council's day started at City Hall with a budget committee session in which the basic elements of the ultimate budget compromise were mapped out before noon.
Memphis City Council member Janis Fullilove has filed bankruptcy.
The Wednesday, May 30, filing in federal bankruptcy court lists $22,218 in liabilities Fullilove owes in "taxes and certain other debts owed to governmental units."
Even as he made his case for a 47-cent property tax hike Tuesday, April 17, Memphis Mayor A C Wharton Jr. outlined alternatives to the full tax hike.
"This is a product in progress," he said after his annual budget address.
Memphis Mayor A C Wharton Jr. took a $628.3 million city operating budget proposal Tuesday, April 17 to the Memphis City Council with a 47-cent property tax hike proposed to meet the city's obligation to fund Memphis City Schools.
The Memphis City Council will mark the anniversary of the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. with the first city street named in honor of the civil rights leader who was killed in Memphis 44 years ago this week.

For me, I'd love to hear about what people are doing with
Python, beyond just Glade.
Python sounds like the kind of language that someone should
learn if they're not a professional programmer but have
occasional needs to do programming... which is exactly the
kind of tool needed to build popular acceptance of Linux.
It's not that I especially want to learn Python, but rather
want to be able to talk about it intelligently. Hearing the
nitty-gritty details of interfacing it with Glade isn't
quite what I want, but that's just me.

25th Assisi World Day of Prayer for Peace: Joys, Blessings and Hopes
by Dr. Tarunjit Singh Butalia
CPWR Trustee
from Huffington Post
In the interreligious movement, Oct. 27, 1986 stands out as a landmark moment when Pope John Paul II convened representatives of the world's religions to gather at the Church of Saint Francis of Assisi, Italy to pray together for the first time in history.
25 years ago at the closing of the Assisi World Day of Prayer, Pope John Paul II remarked:
"For the first time in history, we have come together from every where, Christian Churches and Ecclesial Communities, and World Religions, in this sacred place dedicated to Saint Francis, to witness before the world, each according to his own conviction, about the transcendent quality of peace. The form and content of our prayers are very different, as we have seen, and there can be no question of reducing them to a kind of common denominator. Yes, in this very difference we have perhaps discovered anew that, regarding the problem of peace and its relation to religious commitment, there is something which binds us together."
Two and a half decades later, Pope Benedict XVI invited nearly three hundred representatives of the religions of the world as well as a few non-believers to participate in the 25th anniversary of the World Day of Prayer for Peace: A Day of Reflection, Dialogue and Prayer for Justice and Peace in the World, on the theme Pilgrims of Truth, Pilgrims of Peace.
Religious and Spiritual Leaders Reflect on 9/11
My Story, by Dr. Tarunjit Singh Butalia
by Dr. Tarunjit Singh Butalia
CPWR Trustee
While growing up as a kid in northern India in the early 1980s, I fondly remember one of my best friends in high school, Sher Ali Khan. He was a devout Muslim.
While in 9th grade, Sher Ali called me over to his home for the Islamic festival of Eid. The food at the table was overflowing and beautifully decorated. But a dilemma faced me soon. All the meat on the table was halal – a special religious technique of preparation of meat in the Islamic faith that I as a Sikh was forbidden to eat, due to the Sikh Rehat Maryada (Principles of Sikh Living). So I chose to stay a silent vegetarian that day partaking only of vegetables and sweets.
A couple of months later, he was over at our home for dinner and we had cooked meat without any religious preparation. Since the meat was not halal, Sher Ali became a vegetarian for that meal.
At that time I thought that our religions were getting in the way of our friendship. But as I reflect on it now, it seems that we were learning how to negotiate our religious differences.
In 1989, I came to the United States to pursue my Ph.D. degree at The Ohio State University. I was at least an ocean and continent away from my parents and family.
The first question I asked myself was "do I even want to continue being religious?" After significant introspection, the answer became clear: yes, I wanted to be religious. But this was followed by another question: "what religious tradition should I be a part of?"
I remember approaching a local member of the Catholic clergy asking for his advice on what religious path to consider pursuing. His response surprised me. He asked me to look deeply into the faith I had grown up in and asked me to come back to him after giving my faith one more chance.
As you may have guessed by now, I never went back to that priest. But I am indebted to him for his advice. Here was someone from another religious tradition that helped me to grow in my own religious tradition. His advice on spirituality transcended the boundaries of religion.
Today, as I reflect on my friendship with my Muslim high school friend and the Catholic spiritual adviser, it is clear to me that the many diverse religions of the world are complimentary to each other and not in competition with each other. These are values upon which the Council for a Parliament of the World's Religions is built upon.
Mutual respect and understanding across religious boundaries is a fundamental need of humanity today. The interfaith and inter-religious movements are at a critical juncture. How do we expand the circle of those engaged in this work, and how do we deepen the engagement of those already involved? These are the issues that the Parliament helps to address so we can make this world a safer and more just place for our children and grandchildren.
Dr. Tarunjit Singh Butalia is the Secretary General of the World Sikh Council – America Region, Moderator of Religions for Peace – USA, board member of North American Interfaith Network, member of Board of Trustees of the Council for a Parliament of the World's Religions, member of Board of Trustees of the National Religious Coalition Against Torture, and a member of the Board of Scholars and Practitioners of The Journal of Inter-Religious Dialogue. He also serves as the President of the Interfaith Association of Central Ohio.

We estimate that around 30% of the reviews on Trip Advisor are probably fraudulent; something that Trip Advisor is powerless to prevent. What was begun as a chance for fellow travellers to review hotels honestly, has since been subverted as a tool for unscrupulous businesses to promote their own services and to damage their competition's reputations, and for disgruntled guests whose unreasonable demands have not been pandered to, to punish their accommodation providers.
While the UK's Advertising Standards Agency banned Trip Advisor from claiming that its reviews were genuine, and while we advise that readers do not assume to be genuine everything that they read, we nonetheless feel that Trip Advisor is still helpful, in the absence of there yet being a more credible alternative service.

United Kingdom Announces New Center for Animal Research Alternatives
The U.K. government has developed plans for the National Centre for Replacement of Animals in Experiments (NCRAE). NCRAE's mission is to promote and coordinate efforts to advance the three R's of animal use in medical research—replacement, reduction, and refinement. On the surface, this looks like a positive step. However, it appears that NCRAE will actually be funding animal experiments to compare various methods. PCRM holds that the U.K. government should place more emphasis on Replacement, which, unlike Reduction and Refinement, involves new ideas and approaches, and represents the most progressive change for animals.
