Ministers will carry on with widely criticised plans for a new IT tax system, ignoring warnings from suppliers that it has all the trappings of a serious flop.
A document has surfaced, full of suppliers panning the rush toward overhauled taxation based on a new IT system.
A report commission by the Depart for Work and Pensions, and leaked to the Observer, documented the concerns of IT suppliers who will be putting the system into place.
Meeting Iain Duncan Smith's tight deadlines for 2013's universal credit system will prove difficult, with little time on the clock for making it workable.
The complicated system, which must be tied in with HMRC in real time over PAYE tax, is thought to be largely ready from a "technology perspective".
However, the confidential report said that timescales are "aggressive and cause for concern", particularly as the "precise requirements are unlikely to be confirmed before the final bill is approved by parliament".
The expected transition of "tens of millions" of accounts into the new system, over four years, could be hit – as "there may be thousands of exceptional cases that inhibit…the finish date of 2017".
It's an unrealistic project because "no alternatives are being prototyped", and the eight months for core development are not enough to do the job properly.
This is exacerbated by the need to incorporate "additional traditional interfaces", particularly with HMRC.
Shadow employee minister Stephen Timms stuck the boot in, agreeing that the October 2013 target looks "unrealistic", with many parts of the complex scheme undecided.
The handling of self-employed tax payers hasn't been factored yet for the IT, which will involve every employer sending PAYE data to HMRC each month.
"From my experience of past government IT projects," said Timms, "there just isn't time now to sort it all out before the deadline."
This is not a controversial opinion from the shadow minister.
TechEye reported in March that experts were aghast at plans to bodge together a system of such massive significance.
IT expert Matthew Brown at the Chartered Institute of Taxation reiterated his fears that the project is being rushed through.
"It certainly is a concern that they might not be able to deliver this in time," said Brown who has in the past highlighted concerns in HMRC's system, a vital part of the universal credit scheme.
"Can they process the massive volume of data required or will it take time to ensure that they will be able to deal with it properly?
"It has always been the case that such government IT projects that they are not able to run correctly straight away, and these are two massive IT systems.
"So you only have to take a look at the history of government IT systems to see that it would certainly not be unexpected if it takes time for it to bed down."
There are fears about Duncan-Smith's excitement at getting his new universal credits system in place taking precedence over getting the technology to work. The consequences are potentially disastrous if it goes wrong.
It seems the weight of expert opinion, and indeed the opinions of everybody other than Duncan Smith himself, fall on deaf ears.
TechEye spoke to DWP but was simply told that the "Universal Credit is on track and on time".
While refusing to comment on the warnings that had been given by its suppliers, TechEye was told that the department will "continue to work with experts from across the industry" on the scheme.
Considering the reaction from the industry so far, whether or not anyone's going to listen to advice is another question.

Low Income Housing In Little Rock, Arkansas
The Community Development Block Grant and Housing Programs Division of the Little Rock city government is responsible for developing and managing affordable and low income housing programs for Little Rock low-income residents.
The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) is actually a federal government program dating back to 1974 which has benefited Little Rock residents whose household incomes do not exceed 80% of the area median income. Little Rock even has a Citizen Participation Plan that allows residents to recommend neighborhood projects to the city government for consideration.
Little Rock's Homebuyers Assistance Grants (HAG) are more flexible than some cities, allowing qualifying first-time low-income homebuyers to choose a home anywhere in the city with the grant money paying $1,500 for downpayment, closing costs and prepaids. The city also purchases and rehabilitates homes that are then offered for sale to low income homebuyers at an affordable price.
Low-income residents who already own their own home can get financial assistance to make necessary repairs to their home. Fifty percent of the cost is the homeowner's responsibility and the other 50% is paid by the city in the form of a loan that is forgiven after 5-10 years. This is called a Leveraged Rehabilitation Loan.
For more information on these and other affordable housing programs offered to Little Rock low-income families, go to www.littlerock.org.

Undermountain Available from Kindle Store
I'm thrilled to announce the release of my first novel, Undermountain, a YA adventure novel with science fictiony elements. Though it's targeted at teens, the book will appeal to anyone who likes a good story. Buy it now at the Kindle store.
Six teens and a grizzled old guide embark on a ten day expedition into the wilds of the Canadian Rockies. Some come for adventure. Some come to learn. Some come to escape the troubles of home.From today through midnight Jan. 1st, 2012, all my royalties will go to charity. I'm using donorschoose.org to support literacy projects for disadvantaged kids.
For sixteen year old Danny Michaelson the hike is his first trip away from home without his parents .... Too bad his older sister had to tag along as a chaperone.
For Breyona Lewis the hike is an escape from a terrible memory—of an assault she tries to deny, even to herself.
But when Danny and Breyona encounter a creature out of legend—an enormous beast they immediately tag as "bigfoot"—the hike suddenly becomes a race for their lives.
Swept into a secret underground city and told they may never leave, the hikers find themselves in the middle of a war between the bigfeet and their rebellious servant race, the tangoga. In their deperate attempt to escape, Danny and Breyona uncover the terrible plans that both races have for Earth.
To escape, to survive, to save the Earth—Danny must fight. Breyona must surrender.

Tawriya: New Islamic Doctrine Permits 'Creative Lying'
29th February 2012
Perhaps you have heard of taqiyya, the Muslim doctrine that allows lying in certain circumstances, primarily when Muslim minorities live under infidel authority. Now meet tawriya, a doctrine that allows lying in virtually all circumstances—including to fellow Muslims and by swearing to Allah—provided the liar is creative enough to articulate his deceit in a way that is true to him. (Though tawriya is technically not "new"—as shall be seen, it has been part of Islamic law and tradition for centuries—it is certainly new to most non-Muslims, hence the need for this exposition and the word "new" in the title.)
The authoritative Hans Wehr Arabic-English Dictionary defines tawriya as, "hiding, concealment; dissemblance, dissimulation, hypocrisy; equivocation, ambiguity, double-entendre, allusion." Conjugates of the trilateral root of the word, w-r-y, appear in the Quran in the context of hiding or concealing something (e.g., 5:31, 7:26).
As a doctrine, "double-entendre" best describes tawriya's function. According to past and present Muslim scholars (several documented below), tawriya is when a speaker says something that means one thing to the listener, though the speaker means something else, and his words technically support this alternate meaning.
Being a Muslim is like belonging to the Mafia: Rules only apply to others in your group; anything goes with outsiders.

NEWARK, N. J (Feb. 12)
Following disclosures that the Silver Legion of the Silver Shirts of America is organizing in Newark, racial sentiment was rallied yesterday to a counter attack on the principles and plans of the anti-Jewish body. Two rabbis and two officials of Jewish lodges are investigating propaganda activities of William Dudley Pelley's organization.
Rabbi Joseph Konvitz, president of the Union of Orthodox Rabbis of the United States and Canada, said he would instruct members of this organization here and in the state to scan all progaganda activities attributed to the Silver Legion. The Legion held its first meeting in this city Fridat. The local press was ruged by Rabbi Herman L. Kahan, leader of the Schley Street Congregation, to expose completely the aims of the Silver Shirts. He stated that "The Silver Legion and the Silver. Shirts constitute a distinct menace to American institutions."
Both A. Sigmund Kanengieser, past grand master of the Independent Order Brith Sholom, and Sidney Finkel, president if Ezekiel Lodge, B'nai B'rith, decared that they would take immediate steps to have their organizations investigate reported plans for the formation of a Silver Legion in Newark.
Friday's session here was held at 18 East Park street, supposedly under the auspices of the Foundation for Christian Economics. The meeting, attended by sixteen persons, was suddenly disrupted when a chemical bomb was hurled through a window of the conference room.

Cameroon have ended Ghana's dream of winning the Africa Cup of Nations for the first time in 35 years after defeating the Black Stars 2-0 in Thursday's semi-final at Stade de Franceville.

Cameroon beat Ghana in the semi-finals..
Cameroon vs Ghana 2-0, All Goals & Highlights
Cameroon, who triumphed with two late goals, will meet Egypt for a repeat of the 2008 finals on Sunday February 5.
An end to end first half, it was Cameroon that came close to scoring in the seventh minute but Teikeu's header was cleared off the line by Harrison Afful.
Tambe and Bassogog forced two saves from Ghana goalie Razak Braimah in the 11th and 14th minutes before Jordan Ayew and Wakaso Mubarak also blew their shots off target in a goalless first 45 minutes.
Wakaso came close again in the 61st minute but his free kick was parried away by the Cameroonian goalie.
Cameroon broke the deadlock after the Ghanaian defence failed to deal with a free kick. Cameroonian centre back Ngadeu got hold of the ball after John Boye failed to head the free kick away with Razak Braimah already beaten. Ngadeu hit the roof of the net to get the first goal of the game.
The Ghanaians were caught on the break in an attempt to find the equaliser from a free kick in added time. Bassogog from a swift counter attack ran with only Harrison Afful and Razak Braimah to beat. He placed the ball beyond Braimah to give Cameroon a second goal to end the game for the Black Stars.
Ghana will move on to play the third place game against Burkina Faso while Cameroon play Egypt in the final.

Dr. Ginger gives an overview of the homeopathic Slenderiiz weight loss system.
Deanna Latson is nicknamed "Product BOSS"… she has an unwavering commitment to quality in every ARIIX product!
Dr. Strand is a specialist in nutritional and preventive medicine and is quickly becoming one of the world's leading authorities. He is also an author of several wellness books such as "BioNutrition", "Healthy for Life", "What Your Doctor Doesn't Know about Nutritional Medicine" and "Death by Prescription".
As Chief Product Officer for ARIIX, Deanna Latson's commitment to a "no-compromise" strategy brings world-class nutritional products to the marketplace.
Dr. Strand discusses why he endorses the quality found in ARIIX products.
I was content to just go through life the way I was, until a guy named John invited me to lunch one day… after telling me about the program… not only about just losing weight but forging into a new, healthy lifestyle. I lost 40 lbs the first month, and after 1 year — 140 lbs!
I just want to encourage the folks watching this… I have had tremendous results with the ARIIX products. I've lost 107 lbs and feel fantastic! In my interview Tammy tells me I look 30 years younger! What a great compliment!
I'm Kim… at my worst point I stepped on the scale and thought… there must be something wrong with the scale! Then I stepped back and watched others step on it and came to the conclusion, "No, it isn't the scale that is broken.. it is ME that is broken!"
Since I got on Slenderiiz, I have lost 22 lbs and 25 inches! I am in a Size 6 for the first time ever, I wasn't even a Size 6 in High School! But, what I love more than anything, is the way I feel!
I have lost 85 lbs on the Slenderiiz program. I was to the point where I couldn't even do my job during the day, I was so heavy. Started the program, started losing weight, and I have more energy now than I ever had.
I spent my 30s getting overweight, my 40s doing every kind of diet and weight loss program. I'd lose the weight but put it right back on again. When I hit my 50s, I just wanted to focus on getting healthy. With the Slenderiiz program, I was able to lose 68.5 pounds, and have kept it off. This was the first program that actually worked for me.
Elaine lost 7% bodyfat in 6 weeks, and Duke lost 12% bodyfat in 2 months!
After 40 days I actually had a 6-pack for the first time in my life!
I am so excited! This journey has changed my life. I feel great and it has never been so easy. I decided to take a chance and give my body what it deserves. I am proud to know that I am becoming healthy and helping others. I want to help you get healthy and feel as great as I do!! Let's take this journey together. Please take a chance and believe in yourself. What is your why? I know my why is to be healthy, happy and set a great example for my children. Think of your why and hit take the journey button!
A clinical study showed that Slenderiiz customers lost an average of 13 to 15 pounds in 28 days. Results will vary depending on diet and exercise.

I suggest "atrabilious", from the Latin for black bile, thought by the ancients to be one of the body's four "humours".
Telegraph.co.uk - Telegraph online, Daily Telegraph and Sunday Telegraph
No doubt the usual cavalcade of atrabilious right-wing commentators will work overtime to try and distort Obama's remarks.
But despite the gloomy nonsense of certain atrabilious dreamers, the wonderful era of the Greeks was that of the reign of the courtesans.
But after encountering some of Mr. Nate Livingston's more atrabilious rantings, I now realize that not only is it possible for people to graduate without having learned fundamental skills such as reading and writing, but that it's possible for these same people to believe that Mr. Livingston does the things he does "for the children".
Which makes what he said an atrabilious ranting I learned that word today HeHe.
Upon a more particular inquiry about the symptoms, he was told that the blood was seemingly viscous, and salt upon the tongue; the urine remarkably acrosaline; and the faeces atrabilious and foetid.
Aristotle, who says all great characters are more or less atrabilious, as Socrates and Plato and Hercules were, writes, that Lysander, not indeed early in life, but when he was old, became thus affected.
Nor are the 'atrabilious' addicted to sleep, for in them the inward region is cooled so that the quantity of evaporation in their case is not great.
In June the death of Lord Halifax made a vacancy in the cabinet, which was occupied by the Earl of Suffolk, while his place of lord privy seal was taken by the Duke of Grafton, whose restoration caused a great stir in the political world, and called forth the atrabilious rancour of Junius, who had prided himself on having driven the noble duke from office.

The article came to us just as we were laboring under an attack of dyspepsia, and its reading fairly shook our atrabilious _corpus_.

According to Oxford English Dictionary, atrabilious means "affected by black bile or 'choler adust'; melancholy, hypochondriac; splenetic, acrimonious."
""These conditions are appalling," said Sir Dabber with an atrabilious shake of the head."

In all honesty, Goa is a bit off a disappointment. Although the beaches are stunning, to get to them (150yds away) you pass 50 stall-holders all jumping at you to come in and when you get to the beach, you get targetted by kids trying to sell you more things who will walk along behind you for 5 minutes AFTER you've said 'No' (20 times), talking to the back of your head. My technique is more to ignore them, Susie's technique is to repeat the word 'no' 500 times without pausing for breath and without giving them a chance to get a word in - the jury's still out on which is the most effective !
The 6 pounds per night (mid-range for this place) hotel with pool has been a sanctuary and it has just dawned on me that instead of travelling around the world for 6 months, we could possibly afford to stay in Goa for 24 months instead ! It's just a shame the culture is sell, sell, sell !
Susie also has to put up with being the prefered diet of the mosquitos as she has been nibbled on approx 10 times whereas I remain unpalatable to them (yes, yes, I'm sure they only like clean people !)
Speaking to other travellers, it seems like India and S. America will be the toughest places to travel, so this is a bit of a baptism of fire and S.East Asia should be less pressured.
I also got my first crash-weight loss opportunity with a spot of food poisoning which only had me laid up for 1 day but affected my appetite for a week. Looking forward to seeing what's under my 'winter coat' after all this time, is there a 6-pack trying to get out ?? Well, it'll take more than one bout of food-poisoning to discover that, so fingers crossed for more !

Welcome! If you would like to know the current price per oz, look at the right side of this page. We have a live price monitor that displays the current gold price on the market. If you are an investor wondering if Gold is a good choice for you, you will find a lot of valuable information on this website about gold value, pricing and whether or not gold would be a good option for you.
What makes Gold so Valuable?
What is it about gold that makes it so valuable? Why is it more valuable than copper, tin or even silver? Is it because of its shiny color? Since ancient times, gold has always had an intrinsic value. The precious metal is practically indestructible. It has been used to create cherished treasures and all types of valuable jewelry.
Like all physical commodities, the value of gold depends on the laws of supply and demand. The price is controlled through normal market functions. As more and more buyers expres an interest in any commodity, including gold, they will drive the price higher. Conversely, if there is little or no interest in acquiring gold, the price will inevitably fall. At some new dollar amount, gold will reach an equilibrium point where a transaction
can take place between the person holding the gold and the person desiring to own the gold.
Gold is one of the rarest elements on earth. According to the World Gold Council, gold represents just 1 part per billion or 0.0000001% of all the elements on earth. To understand just how small that is, the most common element, oxygen equals 46.6% of all earthly elements. Somewhere in between lies more common metals like iron, copper and aluminum. The World Gold Council estimated that in 2010, the world supply of gold was approximately 168,300 tons. If it was possible to form all of that gold into a single cube, it would measure just over 67 feet on each side, the height of a 6 story building. Estimates vary on how much more gold remains to be mined from the earth. There are a number of active mines and more to be developed. Most of the "easy" gold has already been mined. Going after more difficult to retrieve gold deposits is more expensive. Even if a mining company discovers a potential source of gold, it may be economically unfeasible to invest the time, labor and equipment to extract golden metal. As the spot price of gold increases, it makes mining new deposits economically more rewarding.
Gold is used to make jewelry, it has a number of technical uses and, most importantly, it acts as a store of wealth and an investment product. Unlike paper currency, an ounce of gold is worth the same amount anywhere in the world. It is a hedge against inflation and investors like to own it in politically turbulent times. In our current world economy, gold has been increasing in demand. A weak dollar and weak EURO helps support the price of gold. Many countries are struggling with political unrest and others have to deal with huge debt. The long term trend definitely points to greater demand and higher prices.
Price is based on the troy ounce. The intrinsic price of gold is determined daily in the spot gold market where traders buy and sell the precious metal.

Forget it man, it was a long time ago......
The eyes have it.
Above is a photo of one Sara Gudger a former slave. I came across this today after a web search that was prompted by starting to read Ralph Ellison's "Invisible Man".
"Invisible Man" begins with the unnamed protagonist smoking some reefer in his basement squat whilst listening to Louis Armstrong. The reefer brings him to a dream state where he talks with a woman slave that has poisioned her master and is crying, because she loved him as well as hated him. Her sons, the sons of the slavemaster, remain inside hooting and hollering with joy, whilst the protagonist of the book questions their mother about her seemingly contradictory relationship with the man she murdered. Eventually the sons chase him out of his dreamtime, and back to the music of Satchmo.
It led me to wonder what the woman slave might have looked like.
Sara Gudger's eyes, if not her face told me what I wanted to know.
I am a bit of a lurker in the "Enemy board" the rap group Public Enemy's bullitin board, and every so often a Right-wing troll comes in and starts a mud slinging match with the bunch of black nationalists and whitey liberals that make up much of its population. The conversation always starts with "Hey man, forget about slavery, it was a long time ago."
Not long enough ago for it to have been before the advent of photography, I'm afraid.
If you are one that occassionally dismisses the effect of slavery on the collective unconsciousness of todays black population (I would have said "African American" but it goes way beyond America's shores) I would suggest that you double click on the above photo and stare into Sara's eyes. What would she have told her kids, what would they have told their's?
And what makes you think that the black person you speak with today, especially in America, has no family stories of their own to tell?
Time heals all wounds you see, but some of those wounds become scars.
Peace and Hope

Jeremy Crabtree, college football recruiting guru, who recently moved from Rivals to ESPN, 810 AM
GH: Crabtree described what he is doing with ESPN's recruiting services as "building something from scratch." Kevin Kietzman asked him what we could expect to see in future years and Crabtree made the "mobile" comments. Information is power. That mantra is hummed in IT shops and learning centers from Tijuana to Bangor. And how we gobble our news, sports and weather continues to evolve with more haste than a game of Spore. Read on.
Kevin Kietzman, reacting to Crabtree's comments that the future for recruiting information and possibly all news info is mobile devices like cells, iPads, etc. 810 AM
GH: Kietzman has been slow to embrace technology. It has not yet hurt his ratings much and it may never cause a dent. But his audience (and mine) is quickly changing from a newspaper cult to an iPhone/Droid/Tablet tribe. 12 years ago Kietzman complained about the Internet and not knowing how to email. Last year he talked about how Todd Leabo was trying to get him on this thing called Twitter. 610's hosts make the social network an integrated and important part of their shows. 810 not so much. It will be interesting to see if KK's Cro-Magnon tech ways are the daylight 610 needs to crack WHB's foundation of success.
Jeremy Crabtree, 810 AM
GH: K-State football is at an uneasy crossroads – an intersection that is all-too familiar to Cat fans. They rightfully adore Bill Snyder and his presence but they fear his age and crustiness is leading their football program into a Big 12 abyss. With Turner Gill at KU, Snyder struggling to lure talent to Manhattan and a new gauntlet-like Big 12 schedule, the 1980s could be back in a not-so-big way in the Sunflower State.
Eric Stonestreet, Cam of ABC's Modern Family, the bicycle-shorts wearing star and Piper HS and K-State grad, responding to a K-State fan asking him what's wrong with the Cats' hoops team, Twitter
GH: Modern Family is THE BEST sitcom on television. Stonestreet is a must-follow of mine on Twitter and he rarely disappoints. Don't know the man but wish I did. Great talent wrapped in a Kansas-sized heart and a Missouri-sized bod.
Kevin Kietzman, 810 AM
GH: I believe that KK goes out of his way to appear not to favor his alma mater – and I think it's a mistake. He comes off as disingenuous when he pretends to prop up Kansas and Missouri as unbeatable and pristine programs. Anyone who has listened to Kevin for more than a week knows where his allegiances lie and where they do not. I think Kevin is much more entertaining when he drops the façade and goes Herbie Husker on his show. Now THAT was real radio.
Kevin Kietzman, who added that one of his staffers refused to believe this statement, 810 AM
GH: No one outside KK believes this statement. Can he send himself 10 emails that quickly?
Roy Williams, discussing the negative reaction he and his Tar Heels received this week concerning his team's 13-5 record
GH: Damn, the OTC misses Coach Roy! We remember those entertaining Hawk Talk radio shows with Coach Roy, don't' we? Ol' Roy didn't take kindly to anything that remotely sounded like criticism or even a suggestion. It appears the old coach is still just as fun-loving on the radio as he was in Lawrence.
Bob Fescoe, while discussing Roy Williams' NC team's current 13-5 record, 610 AM
GH: Fescoe's comment would appear to be ridiculous at first glance but he's not far off. When KU loses two or three conference games there is plenty of teeth grinding going on in Oz. Heck, at 18-0 the Jayhawks were getting scorched on a number of online forums. It is what happens when you introduce professional prices and salaries to a college game. The two quickly become difficult to discern.
"I wouldn't be surprised if none of them make it. Maybe Marcus Morris as an undersized post player, but where's he going to play?"
Danny Clinkscale, arguing that KU's team may have no future NBA players on their roster, 810 AM
GH: Strong statement by The Clink. If true – and who really knows – we may just have this Kansas bunch way, way overrated. The month of February will be a fun one to watch and see who is right and wrong.
Nate Bukaty, after hearing that Maurice Jones-Drew said his tweets criticizing Jay Cutler were taken out of context, 810 AM
GH: I believe professional athletes consider the word "context" to be the equivalent of the DELETE function on their iPhone – as in it never happened, even if it did.
Jim Rome, Twitter
GH: Jack Harry suffers from a similar malady when he puts on his Jack's Smack pants. Read on.
Jack Harry, NBCActionsNews.com
GH: Harry made this comment before the Hawks loss to Texas. It was a good, solid rip on KU that instead of owning, Harry quickly raced from when he was called out for it by Kevin Kietzman. Read on.
Jack Harry, responding to questions from Kevin Kietzman about some of Harry's online comments, 810 AM
GH: Harry acts like what he says online on KSHB's website should hold the same weight as something he utters on television – even if more people are online than watching his sportscasts. It is an antiquated way of thinking that makes Harry look more and more like Dan Fortune every day.
Danny Clinkscale, discussing (not arguing) about his eating regiment with Kietzman, 810 AM
GH: Kietzman wanted to argue Clink's claim saying he'd seen him eat an evening meal but Clink was adamant. Danny told a story where he took his wife to the Plaza III restaurant where she had pork chops and he had a plated of seasonal vegetables and two beers. And Clink wonders why listeners view him as a bit outside the norm?
Danny Clinkscale, explaining how he is able to skip dinner, 810 AM
GH: I, on the other hand, eat hearty pretty much most of the day and into the night. May you enjoy a plate of seasoned veggies with your next tube of Girl Scout thin mint cookies as well!

Additional Golf Course Reviews:
|Beech Hollow Golf Course -- Rating of Beech Hollow Golf Course
|Review by: Jack Almy
|Beech Hollow is a fine course to golf, but the roughs are to high. This makes it harder to find a ball and slows up play by looking for your ball. Since this is a pulic course, alot of use pressure is on the putting greens. When it it time for league play to start later on in the day the greens are rough to putt on. Overall, this course is very nice to play. This course should put together a yardage book that they could sell to tell the golfers what yardage is left to the green from different locations for each fairway.

Human Rights in Northern Ireland
Edited by: Brice Dickson, Brian Gormally
Human Rights in Northern Ireland has been completely revised to take into account innumerable legal developments since 2003. This fifth edition examines topics ranging across the full spectrum of civil, political, social, economic, and environmental rights, with particular emphasis on the right not to be discriminated against. It is currently the most comprehensive and practical publication on the state of human rights in Northern Ireland. This is a part of the world where, along with ongoing issues arising out of the conflict ('emergency laws' are still in place, for example), there are familiar questions concerning the rights of people with poor mental health, the law relating to family and sexual matters, children's rights, education rights, employment rights, housing rights, and social security rights. The book's contributors are all experts in their field, most of them with years of experience as human rights activists and advisers. [Subject: Human Rights Law, Constitutional Law, Administrative Law, Irish Law]
Publication Date: 2/19/2015

By The Associated Press @ The Denver Post on April 28th, 2011
ASPEN, Colo.—A demographer says the super-rich are likely to have less impact on Aspen's economy in the future and that tourists and retirees will play a bigger role. Jim Westkott, the former senior demographer for Colorado state government, told local officials Wednesday the recession has changed his outlook for Aspen and other resort areas.
Many wealthy homeowners who made up a large part of the Aspen market four years ago lost a lot of money in the recession and are unlikely to recover that wealth in the near future, he said, according to reports in The Aspen Times and the Aspen Daily News.
He predicted the development of large, expensive second homes will decline because future retirees with Aspen aspirations can no longer afford to retire or live part-time there. …read more
2 Responses to "Demographer: Super-Rich Declining in Aspen"
Seems these potential demographic scenarios could be easily applied to Sun Valley as well – lots of second homes for the wealthy supported the construction & service industry.
Does not seem that encouraging anyway you look at it for an influx of young residents to the resort or nearby communities.
Thanks for the Sun Valley perspective, David. I think the most interesting take in the article had to do with converting those mega-mansions into "duplexes, co-ops or some type of assisted living facilities as baby boomers begin to retire." Although it's hard to envision that being a viable option, I'm sure there would be a need for such type of housing, especially considering how many locals look to one-another for support and community as they grow older. I envision clusters of aging locals becoming housemates in those second-home rentals. ~ Peace

Law Students > Online Law Schools
Internships? Summer or otherwise.
Hi all. I was wondering if anybody knew of internships that are open to students at distance learning law schools. I suppose summer internships are an option, but because distance learning programs continue through the summer to meet the 48 week requirement, one would have to keep studying during the internship. Any suggestions?
Try asking your school. Or find some alumni on Martindale-Hubbell and ask them. Or just apply to firms and organizations in the states where your school is accredited and see what happens.
Or you might try local attorneys; some sole practioners might appreciate some free help!!
Thanks for the tip, Coregram.
If you need inspiration, take a look at a list of DL trained lawyers I am compiling:
They might be willing to help you out if they can.
My classes start next week, not this week, so I don't have my user name and password to Lexis yet.
If I'm no threat to you, there's no need to come after me for every post. I was thanking someone for good information because I DON'T KNOW EVERYTHING.
I must have touched a nerve. Let's just agree to disagree and move on.

Introducing 18 Exercises To Help You Live A Happier, Healthier & Longer Life In Just 15 Minutes A Day
A couple of years back now (my how time flies…) I wrote the book: Shaolin Chi Kung – 18 Exercises to help you live a longer, healthier and happier life. It is still the most comprehensive, written in the English language, resource on the famous Shaolin 18 Lohan Hands Chi Kung/Qigong set.
But you can no longer get hold of it. I self published it and all 400 copies are long gone. I should get around to getting some more copies printed, but to be honest the initial outlay of cash to get them printed, the time to process the orders, deal with inquiries, write out envelopes, get to the post office etc – well it's all a bit of headache and consumes vast quantities of time.
I have had a number of requests from people asking where they can get a copy, so I'm making available a digital downloadable version.
If you're new to chi kung/qigong, let me tell you straight from the go that learning qigong from a book is really, really difficult. That's why I created the 'Transition Shot Technology' – a fancy pants term for overlapping 5 or 6 photographs, with arrows to mark the flow of movement, so you are certain of how to get from 1 picture to the next. It's the closest you can get to having a video in a book. And I'd like to thank Claire Bond for bringing the idea to life. See the picture below for an idea of what I mean…
If you are familiar with the 18 qigong exercises of the Shaolin 18 Lohan Hands, because you've taken a course with me, or another Shaolin qigong instructor then this will be a fantastic 'aide memoire' for you. Because you have already been exposed to the skills of qigong, you will quickly and easily be able to apply them to any of the other qigong exercises in the book. Even if you've never been shown that pattern before. Remember the exercises are just the Form. It's the Energy and the Mind aspects that bring them to life.
To download your copy, just click on the big orange 'buy now' button below. **Warning – you can't miss the button – I made it in photoshop and I'm signing up for the next beginners photo shop course out there!**
SALE Only $37
I look forward to sharing Shaolin Chi Kung with you and wish you every success with your practice
Kindest regards
Marcus James Santer
PS Most people will never know that they can learn how to be healthy, happy and full of vitality and that it is no more difficult than learning how to brush your teeth. Don't miss this out on this opportunity, buy Shaolin Chi Kung now and start applying the most powerful health defence art to your life.

Hi guys. My blog has a small background image that should be aligned with the header image. For visitors not logged in in wordpress, it looks ok. But for those logged in, the navbar pushes the header image down by 28px, and not the background image. As a result, the two are no longer aligned.
I looked in the forums and found this:
body.loggedin { background-position: 0 28px; }
I tried to insert this in my custom css but it doesn't work (I have the upgrade). Maybe I insert it in the wrong place. Can anyone help? Thanks.

VITORIA, Brazil - The Netherlands have put a bounty on the head of Australian marksman Tim Cahill in their looming World Cup fixture.
Cahill's heading ability has been identified by Holland as their major threat in the clash in Porto Alegre on Thursday. Cahill's headed goal in Australia's 1-3 loss against Chile in Cuiaba last Friday rang alarm bells in the Dutch camp, midfielder Nigel de Jong says.
"He's a terrific player that always gives his heart and his all on the pitch, for his country or his club," de Jong told reporters in Porto Alegre yesterday.
"We have to be careful because the timing to the ball with his headers is one of the best. He is one of the best timers I have seen from all the players around the world.
"So we have to take care of that very well."
The Dutch torched Spain 5-1 in their tournament opener but star striker Robin van Persie cautioned against a let-down against the unfancied Australians.

67 WALL STREET, New York - April 15, 2013 - The Wall Street Transcript has just published its Metals and Mining Report offering a timely review of the sector to serious investors and industry executives. This special feature contains expert industry commentary through in-depth interviews with public company CEOs and Equity Analysts. The full issue is available by calling (212) 952-7433 or via The Wall Street Transcript Online.
Topics covered: Precious Metals, Global Iron Ore Production, Emerging Market Infrastructure Construction, Midcap and Small-Cap Consolidation Activity
Companies include: New Gold (NGD) and many more.
In the following excerpt from the Metals and Mining Report, the Executive Chairman and Director of New Gold Inc. (NGD) discusses company strategy and the outlook for this vital industry:
TWST: Do you think having copper and silver in the portfolio is advantageous?
Mr. Oliphant: We love both those metals, and they work very effectively for us. And what I mean by that is, if you look at how costs have done in our industry and you can see on our Web site, we actually have a graph comparing industry average cost to New Gold's costs. Our costs have actually been coming down as costs in our industry have been going up, and last year was our lowest-cost year we ever had. And one of the factors that contributes to that is the copper that we get out of initially just Peak, and now Peak and New Afton, and the silver largely from Cerro San Pedro. And what we find is that those metals move in tandem with our input cost. So we regard them as providing us with a natural economic hedge, and you can see that over the course of the past few years, it's been working beautifully, because copper tends to move in line with commodity currencies, because commodity currencies appreciate when commodities go up.
It also - copper is highly correlated to the price of oil. To give you an extreme example, when oil was $140 a barrel and copper was $4.50, when oil crashed down to $35 in 2008-2009 and copper went to $1.39, but then as oil moved back up towards $100, copper now is about $3.50. So they tend to move in tandem. So because of that, people often ask us, would you hedge Australian dollars, Canadian dollars, copper? But we find that this natural economic hedge works beautifully in the company.
TWST: Give us an idea of what your two development exploration projects, the Blackwater and El Morro, look like. Please describe the geography, cost of production. Are there any comparatives, and have you done any factoring to see what your costs might be?

How many times have you completely written off Francisco Liriano? Seriously. Probably four or five times, right? I know I've uttered the phrase "f**k that guy, I'm never using him again" at least once a year for the last five years. That's the way it is with him — the K-potential has always made him an interesting option for fantasy streaming, but until this year, I don't think he's ever helped my team. Not once. Which is what makes Liriano's 2013 production so absurd, and it's definitely no fluke at this point. Through roughly 90 IP he's posted a 2.23 ERA and a 1.18 WHIP while whiffing more than a batter per inning. And given his sub-3 FIP, the peripheral numbers bode well, too. I'm sure I'll have to write him off again at some point, but it's amazing to consider the path the 29-year-old Liriano has taken to transition from never-using-him-again streamer status, to one of the best arms in the league. He goes twice this week, making his debut in the must start tier. The rest of the week 18 two-starters are below.
As always, probable pitchers are subject to change. For a look at all fantasy baseball streamers, click that link.Please, blog, may I have some more?

Looks like the Loire.
From the chalk, I'd guess Champagne.
I agree, Champagne…
Never been to Chablis, but there's some chalky soil there too, no?
Or… What about tufa in Southern Italy?
[…] This post was mentioned on Twitter by Wine Lover +, yancharbonneau-wine, WineBlogFeed, Susan Rice, José S. Rodríguez and others. José S. Rodríguez said: #wine Where in the wine world are we? Caves hewn from rock: While I am in an undisclosed location with limited … http://bit.ly/gdRayk […]
Agreed Champagne due to the chalk.
I think this is the Loire valley. Probably around Chinon
The Touraine, maybe more specifically, Vouvray.
You're in Basilicata, drinking the local Aglianico del Vulture.
I'll guess the Loire, just because I've seen a picture very similar to that one in a book (The world atlas of wine)
I'm fairly sure that this is a smaller Champagne maker
I would say Loire Valley, near Saumur.
I'm thinking the Loire Valley, not sure of the village. Jut looks very familiar when I was on my Chenin Blanc quest…
I would say Loire, Saw similar in Chinon. If pushed would go for Samur as I know they use the caves extensively. Not sure about the barrel though, no idea on Samur base wine storage and aging??
Looks like a troglodyte from Vouvray to me.
I'm voting Vouvray, or possibly Saumur. There are wine caves, restaurants, hotels, even private homes carved out of caves. Definitely not Champagne.
I guess it is Capadoccia, Turkey or Missouri!
Carlos Reis, Brazil
Looks like the tuffa caves I biked past this summer in the Loire in Vouvray.
It has to be the Loire – Filliatreau in Saumur?
Hey Steve!
When I said Saumur earlier, I was exactly thinking about Filliatreau, as it really looks like the troglodytes houses in Tuffeau they have in their backyard.
We'll see…
Gotta be the Touraine or maybe the eastern part of the Saumurois.
Loire, either Saumur or Vouvray.
I think you are in the South of Limburg, the Netherlands. Of course you know the fine white and rose wines are there!
Add me to the list of thinking it's definitely Filliatreau in Saumur! Mmmmmm, I might have to open a bottle of 07 La Grande Vignolle now…
Could be the troglodytes in the Loire Valley. I had dinner in one. Very unpleasant musty smell.
saint emilion
Definitely, the Loire. I would agree Vouvray.
Must be Champagne. Looks like Cramant, just outside the village on Rue des Grappes d'Or?
Congrats to all those who guessed the Loire! And to those who guessed Saumur, you know your tuffeau! But Jean-Luc and Cleggton get honorable mention for guessing Chinon, which is where I took the photo. The cave is at Domaine Bernard Baudry. I liked the kids' toys outside the cave since that's what my cave would also likely look like if I had one!
More details of my visit there coming up next week!
Damn, I'm too late and I would have been wrong but caves like that are all around Hungary. Hope you're enjoying Baudry!
I never get these right! But always enjoy the read, so thanks! Btw, have you guys heard of lovethis? I've started using it to get wine recommendations, pretty useful. Check out my recommendations and I'd be interested to connect with you guys to find some interesting labels and new producers. Here's a link to my profile: http://ow.ly/42A6l. Keep up the great blog, how do I subscribe?
Looks like caves I saw near St. Nicolas de Burgeois in the central Loire.
I'd say Loire Valley. Probably around Saumur and if not, Vouvray.
Hi! awesome picture and place, Do you have more pics?
Greetings from Argentina
I had visited there in 2008 and spent time with Bernard's son Matthieu. Aside from samples in the tasting room and barrels, I had the opportunity to taste a couple of older fuzzy bottles from the cave poured on that barrel outside. Excellent wines.
I hope Matthieu opened some 2000 and 2001 whites for you.
The guy across the street is doing some nice juice as well.
I did taste his chenin blanc which is made in a tank roughly twice the size of a household hot water tank and it was excellent.

Now is the winter of my discontent.
This winter has been colder than the past few winters, snowier than the past few winters, more worthy of complaint than the past few winters.
Of course, when you complain about winter, people will call you a wimp. They will point out that, duh, winter is cold in these here parts. They will suggest that if you can't stand the heat, you should get out of the kitchen, or, to use a more appropriate metaphor, if you can't stand the cold, you should get out of the meat locker.
To which I say: I don't hate winter. I hate everything associated with winter.
If this winter consisted solely in pausing in silent wonder as snowflakes fell from the heavens like God's own dandruff, if winter was entirely riding in horse-drawn sleighs, wrapped in warm blankets and sipping hot toddies, or sitting by the fire, listening to the wind howl, knowing you needn't stir till spring, I would say, yes, winter, bring it.
But there is no sleigh. There is only my car, which needs to be cleared of snow, along with my driveway and the path to my front door. There is the pile of towels just inside the door, sodden now from the wet snow boots we have kicked off. There is the grit underfoot from the ice melt substance I have scattered outside but accidentally tracked inside so that it now scores the hardwood floors. There is the spalling concrete on my front walk, caused by the corrosive effects of the ice melt.
There is the snow, less picturesque now, blackened by car exhaust, yellowed by dog bladder.
I endure. But I would endure so much better if I didn't have to deal with winter's housekeeping. I want more winter wonderland, less winter drudgery.
What really bothers me about this winter is what I'm learning about myself. I've never seen the appeal of Florida or North Carolina except as places to visit. Now I see why people flee the cold.
Cold. So very, very cold. And old. As the Bard wrote, "Age, with his stealing steps, hath clawed me in his clutch."
Now, where did I put that ice melt?
I was working from home the other day when the doorbell rang. It was a guy selling replacement windows. "We're just installing some windows for one of your neighbors up the street and wanted to see if you were interested in getting a quote," he said.
I guess there was a time when door-to-door salespeople were welcomed, and if not welcomed, respected, or if not respected, at least tolerated. It was an up-from-the-bootstraps sort of profession. If you could persuade people to buy your brushes, vacuum cleaners or encyclopedias, who knew how successful you could be?
Now, though, we don't like strangers coming to our doors. When the doorbell rings, it's either someone trying to persuade you to shed whatever religious beliefs you have and join them in their faith or it's an earnest young person who wants you to save the Bay.
Or it's a serial killer.
That's the fear, anyway, and it's why I always like having Charlie, my 75-pound black Lab, standing next to me when I answer the door to a stranger. (Never mind that Charlie would offer as much protection as an Angora rabbit. I think he'd rat me out for a single Snausage.)
What really gets me about today's door-to-door salesmen is their typical patter. Almost without exception they say they're already in the neighborhood doing work for one of my neighbors and are just curious to see if they can do a little deal with me.
They're lying, right? Or does every neighborhood have one resident who is perpetually getting his windows replaced and his basement waterproofed and his trees trimmed?
Then there's the meat. A couple of times a year a truck comes through our neighborhood selling meat. Like the others, these guys just happen to be in the area delivering meat to one of my neighbors and want to know if I want any.
"Meat from a stranger" might be a good name for a band, but it's not how I like to acquire my pot roast and pork chops. Buying meat from a door-to-door salesman is like getting a donor heart valve from some guy you sat next to on the Metro. Unhygienic.
You'd think the Internet would put these people out of business, but they soldier on, just one door away from success.

To Whomever Lost a Ripe Honeydew Melon on MacAdam Ave Across from Zupans-
I was riding my bike to work Tuesday morning, thinking about how I'd forgotten to bring my lunch, when out of the corner of my eye I glimpsed a pale orb laying in the street.
I had a hunch it was something special- and what a special thing it was. A melon! A whole ripe, honeydew melon, virtually unscathed by being dropped out of someone's shopping bag.
I just want whoever lost their melon to know that it found a good home- in my stomach. Finding that gutter melon delighted me far more than anything else in recent memory, so thank you, melon-loser. You made my week.
