The state of Kuwait is a sovereign Arab emirate. It lies on the north-east of the Arabian Peninsula, and the north-western shore of the Arabian Gulf, sharing a border with Saudi Arabia to the south, and Iraq to the North.
We recognize that the special needs of small businesses are very different from those of multinational corporations and we have the experience and the understanding to meet the needs of both. With the strength of our international organization behind us, we offer small and large companies the best of both worlds. Our personal attention and specialized knowledge are combined with the global resources and expertise of a major global organization.
In Kuwait, we plan our work in such a way as to produce useful feedback and constructive recommendations by involving client management in the planning process. That way, critical issues are identified and addressed as early as possible and effort is concentrated in areas where the risk of error is greatest. We believe clients value our personal approach, which ensures continuity, clear communication and a deep understanding of their needs.
Our office in Kuwait City was established in 1949 and in 2010, Bader Al Wazzan & Co., the former PriceWaterHouseCoopers member firm, joined Deloitte in Kuwait. We have a broad knowledge of serving a variety of industries. They include banking and financial services, investments, insurance, construction, governmental agencies, general trading, manufacturing, real estate, petrochemicals, telecommunications, oil and gas. We also have a strong Tax practice and an innovative management consulting group. All this is in addition to providing the more usual professional services concerning enterprise risk management, audits and accounting.
Just as we've played a vital role in the growth of Kuwait to date, we're also very much a part of its future. Deloitte has identified the Middle East as a priority market that represents superior growth opportunities. As such, our Middle East firms, operating in 15 countries and employing almost 2,500 professionals across the region and including Kuwait, have been targeted for major investment. This is accompanied by a focused strategy of expansion in key business areas and a continued emphasis on recruiting and retaining the most talented professionals from the region and other countries to serve Middle East companies.
To address the growing market needs, we have expanded our specialized professional services in the Middle East, leveraging our local and global talent in areas such as Financial Advisory Services, Enterprise Risk Services and International Tax Services. We have also continued to play a pivotal role in serving the region's high-growth industry sectors such as tourism, hospitality and leisure, construction, telecoms and financial services, as well as major sectors such as oil and gas, the public sector and the Gulf region's sovereign wealth funds. Our Middle East knowledge centers are a testament to our specialized capabilities in strategic services and industries.

Members with the American Humanist Association (AHA), a Washington-based organization, said they have filed a suit to stop a public elementary school in South Carolina from holding graduation ceremonies in a chapel.
The group said they received a complaint earlier this year from the parents of a fifth-grader at Mountain View Elementary School in Taylors about the ceremony at the Turner Chapel, at North Greenville University.
The AHA also said the official schedule of events for the graduation called for prayers on two separate occasions as part of the ceremony.
The AHA then asked the school to change the ceremony or possibly face a lawsuit. The school said they would not change the event.
"The federal courts have been clear that events like these violate the constitutional principle of separation of church and state," said Monica Miller, an attorney and legal consultant with the Appignani Humanist Legal Center. "Any event sponsored by a public school must not violate that principle."
The AHA said its goal is to preserve the separation of church and state, but some people disagree.
"The school should be able to use our facilities, and the student should be able to pray off campus," said Dr. James Epting, the president of North Greenville University, which is a Christian college.
"If they don't have a place like North Greenville, then most of the parents and grandparents, and friends could not attend a graduation," Epting said.
However, AHA members filed a suit that states the Greenville County School District should stop student-led prayers during graduation ceremonies, and should stop ceremonies from being held at churches.

Sahara desert as a solar farm.
Instead of looking at the Sahara desert as a vast unusable wasteland, look at it as good as gold!
Think... If 0.3% of this desert were covered in solar panels, we would have enough energy to power Europe!
Now take that scale to 1%. We could power the U.S and Europe without the use of Nuclear, Coal, and other non renewable "harmful" substances.

Oct 24 2012: Its a Commonsense Idea. But only part of the overall power generation issue. We do need to distribute energy, but costs of distribution are also mainly dependent on cost of power. We need commonsense, practical solutions. Imagine:
1) Lots of solar power 'locally'
2) Geothermal where possible (now many parts of the world using new deep drilling techniques)
3) Nuclear (Thorium powered) in places where solar and geothermal can't be done effectively
4) As a stop gap use gas powered stations (phased out say 30 years)
5) Excess energy means cheaper (clean) transport for distribution
6) We can expect automation to provide much more cost effective re-building of installations in say 50 years time
7) CLEAN SUSTAINABLE future energy - forever!
Ensure that the world builds more facilities than we need (perhaps led by some body like the United Nations coupled to the World Bank?) - the excess is turned into hydrogen (or derivatives such as ammonia) which can easily be used for transport (cars, lorries, ships). Institute a world energy policy that provides for all countries as to their needs at know/fixed cost so everyone can plan ahead on transport policies etc., (as we would have excess this shouldn't be impossible). The total energy costs would (after spending many trillions $ in development and installations) come down to the point where everyone can do much more in all parts of the world sustainably.
So while we have many people sitting on their bums in many parts of the world not being productive - why don't we put them to work investing in the LONG TERM? Of course this means overturning economic, political, cultural barriers - so instead of doing that, we shall probably spend about 10 times more Trillions $ (over the next say 50 years) in wars, terrorism prevention, bailing out all sort of countries and societies from meltdown, or indeed disappearing down the pan. That's the choice folks.

Pumpin' iron. . . Find out how to lose the extra holiday pounds. T. " f ; '.11 1 v' 111, LT-i Wednesday, January 13, By Leo Dirr campus affairs editor-The Signpost Eight of the 1 7 Associated Students of Weber State University senators have officially resigned, leaving the senate one senator shy of a quorum. "It's Senate ineffective or inept," said John Shaw, former black students senator. Shaw did not name his reason for resigning, but said it was not because of grades. With eight nearly half the senate seats vacant, the senate cannot legislate according to ASWSU's Constitution which stipulates a quorum (at least 10 of 17 senators) is required to conduct business. Eight se Resolutions; traditions or broken promises? By Amy Carpenter features writer-The Signpost About 28 million adults made New Year's resolutions for 1 999, and 29 percent of them have already broken their promises. In fact, only 9 percent keep those resolutions for an entire year. The most common resolutions are food- and drink-rclaled. Eating less fat is the most popular, with 64 percent and eating more vegetables follows with 47 percent. Thirty-nine percent of people want to drink more water, and 26 percent want to drink less alcohol. More women make New Year's resolutions with 65 percent, opposed to 57 percent of men. "I've made them before, but I decided ix's a waste of time," said Weber State University student Zac Williams. "I think you need to have short-term goals like eating breakfast in the morning." Diversity month celebrates differences, similarities By Ryan Taylor senior news reporter-77ie Signpost This month is Weber Stale University's fifth-annual Diversity Month, and a number of special events are scheduled both on-and off-campus to honor the school's diversity. The celebration is held in January in conjunction with Human Rights Day. Cedric Howard, coordinator of WSU's Diversity Center, hopes students learn two important lessons from the month's 1999 catsis.weber.edusignpost Volume 61 Number 39 nan However, Coordinator for Student Government Felicia Ganther said the senate will meet Tuesday with a quorum. The adviser of each department may submit a temporary replacement senator from the corresponding area council. The litany of senators who have resigned includes the following: Shaw; Karin Bates, arts and humanities; Bill Sinclair, Native American students; Kelsey Babcock, nontraditional students; Lori Pacheco, residence halls; Ben Heiner, sciences; Ardell Jenks, students with disabilities; Branson Behmer, veteran students, according to a document released Monday by the Department of Student Activities. More gym memberships are purchased at the beginning of January than any other time of the year, but by March most people are only throwing their money away. There arc a variety of reasons why resolutions fail, including: Making resolutions at the last minute. Making resolutions based on what's bothering you, or what's on your mind on New Year's Eve. Making resolutions absolute by saying, "I'll never do that again." WSU student Scott Anderson said he usually doesn't make resolutions, but this year he wants to finally decided on a major. Resolutions can also beage-related. Eighty percent of 15- to24-year-olds make resolutions compared to only 49 percent of people over 65. "I want to be an Academic All-Amcrican by the end of the year," said See Promises page 3 events. "I would hope that students gain a greater appreciation for all cultures, and I hope they learn to understand and embrace their own culture," 1 toward said. Currently, students from 45 states and 34 countries arc enrolled at WSU. More than 1,000 of the students attending WSU are either Hispanic. Asian. African American or Native American. More than 20events are scheduled to take place this month including forums, round table discussions and ethnic-food dav s. ors resign from wice Sinclair said one reason for his resignation was the lack of open debate in senate meetings. "They wanted us to work out our differences outside of Senate." Senate meetings were a forum for voting only, and debating the issues, to a large extent, was discouraged, Sinclair said. Pacheco said she didn't resign for the reasons that some people believe. "It has nothing to do with diversity. It has nothing to do with Mr. Shaw." She discussed what she called her five-year plan to improve herself with a friend and decided finishing the year as senator was not the best thing academically or for her future, Pacheco said. Alummy wrapping 101 ft r In Jolene Clark gets bandage gauze ready to practice wrapping Marie Haney's arm in an CPR and first aid training course held Tuesday in the Lair. According to Howard, two of the month's highlight events will occur this week. Thursday, a forum in the Union Ballroom will be held. The forum is titled. "Is WSU A Safe Place For Diversity?" The second highlight event, held Friday, is a historical program on Martin Luther King Jr. It will be presented in the Shepherd Union ballroom. Watch the Campus Calendar on page two or three in e ery issue of The Sis'':st through.-,;.,; thj month for daily activities for Diversity Month. Ganther said she wouldn't care if all 1 7 senators quit to better meet their academic obligations because that is what students are here for primarily. Ganther said the reasons for the eight resignations range from graduation to ineligibility to personal reasons. While she wouldn't list the reasons for all senators' departures, Ganther said Jenks graduated; Heiner left because he got married and Behmer left for health reasons. ASWSU Academic Vice President Nikki Austin said she is not concerned with the resignations because she feels academics should come first, and the majority of senators resigned for significant reasons. 1 j s ' ! v.. - i . . t King Day celebrations begin early at WSU As Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday arrives Friday and the day that bears his name comes Monday, various activities will be held at Weber State University in honor of the late civil-rights leader.

"To me a 2.5 GPA isn't that hard to keep." According to ASWSU bylaws, Austin has the authority to select replacement senators to be presented before the senate for ratification. But Ganther said she and Austin have agreed to use an interview process in order to fill the vacant seats. Applications are available in the student activities office, and interviews will begin Monday, Ganther said. For a student to assume an empty senate seat, they must receive five ratifying votes, a simple majority. v.. . V L..J events is "Service through Education." Sarah Davis, Day of Celebration co-coordinator, said in addition to the VIP's Day ol Service Monday, the goal of the Day of Celebration is to inform, not serve. "I think both aspects are important, but education, especially in this community, is important because there isn't a lot of cultural education here," Davis said. "And education promotes tolerance, acceptance and open-mindedness."

For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

Awesome "Whileaway" review from knoxville.com!
Check it out: http://www.knoxville.com/news/2011/oct/11/knoxville-music-jeannine-hebb-review/?partner=RSS
"Whileaway," Jeannine Hebb (Jeannine Hebb)
Jeannine Hebb's brilliant "Call Him Out" is a sweet-on-the-surface/sour-at-the-core gem of a song that barely hints at the depths of the talents she displays on her new full-length album, "Whileaway."
Reminiscent of a twisted Lily Allen ditty, the carnival-esque "Call Him Out" finds Hebb gingerly singing along to the spritely flow of piano, the tone of the arrangement a sharp contrast to the emotional desperation of the lyrics, which find the jilted Hebb turning to her friends for support and they're all, "standing around, their hands in pocket, staring at the ground."
The instantly gratifying song runs the risk of upstaging the somewhat subtler remaining tracks on "Whileaway," though listeners who give Hebb half a chance will find rewards throughout the release.
The New York-based native of the Boston area is a remarkably well-rounded singer/pianist/songwriter. She can put a girlish lilt on her voice, or cut to soulful resonance a la Fiona Apple. Her keyboards dive through pop-friendly melodies, but they're enriched with jazz intonations. And her lyrics are provocative and complex, balancing heartbreak with dark humor.
Hebb sinks into melancholy paranoia on the torchy "I Believe," pushes herself against the trotting cadence of "Back to Me Again," flips through an echoing chorus on the sauntering "Goodbye" and turns the word "low" into a multi-syllable refrain on the plunky "Low," where she also sings, "I'm not going to drown in all your rain and thunder."
Hebb's background in musical theater betrays itself in the melodrama as she sometimes gets lost inside herself and/or overindulges in defining herself through her bad relationships. But frankly, excessive self-analysis is just fodder for many fans of her style of music. And Hebb delivers it with freshness and style.

Vintage Furniture: When to Leave the Finish As-Is
So, you've scored an amazing deal on a vintage lacquered cabinet or a pair of painted chairs, but the finish is faded and cracked. Do you have your furniture refinished or do you leave it alone and embrace its time-worn patina?
If you want to preserve the value of your antique, it's almost always best to leave the finish alone. If the finish is original to the piece, it's an intrinsic part of the furniture's worth. If the finish is not original, it probably won't affect the value.
Don't lacquer over the paint to keep it from peeling, don't touch it up with anything, and don't use oil on the surface. (Clear paste wax is OK for wood.) If you really want to fix the finish, you can take it to a professional restorer, but even having the finish restored carries the chance of a decrease in value.
If your furniture is a thrift store find and you don't care about its value, then the choice is yours. Leave it as-is, strip it, or repaint it, depending on the look you're going for. For stained wood pieces, you can try Restor-A-Finish or Feed-N-Wax. To paint a piece, follow these steps.
One thing we often find is that worn finishes can add some contrast and depth to a home, so we suggest living with vintage furniture as-is for a couple of weeks before altering it. You might warm up to the imperfections in the finish.
For more advice, see these links:
• Preserving the Finish (and Value) of Antique Furniture
• Great Products: Restor-A-Finish and Feed-N-Wax
• How To: Restore a Fiberglass Shell Chair
9 Comments
Just looked up the Restore-A-Finish MSDS sheet. It contains ethyl benzene, a known carcinogen. Don't think I want that absorbed in my furniture. The Feed-n-Wax, however, is non-toxic.
I have a hoosier-style cabinet with the original stenciled motif on the upper cabinet doors, but the flaking paint around the stenciling is hardly even attached anymore. Is it still best to leave it as is and just be very careful with those doors?
My mom and I got a $39, 6 person dining table from a thrift store in a beautiful dark cherry finish. It was really scratched up, which is why it was so cheap. And on the ride home, it got scratched up even more! At first it really bothered us. But now, I've come to love the visible travels that poor table has taken. And we certainly don't worry about that first scratch or ding that we would have had we bought new!
eemalee, if you're worried about lowering the value of your piece, you can read this article from the antiques roadshow for more specific advice for period furniture.
I know an artist who makes extra money on the side distressing furniture. That means that you can pay to get a new table banged up until it resembles the articles above. Whatever folks decide to do with the pieces above depends on their own preferences, but, if they leave them as is, they can take comfort in knowing that in some places, people spend money to transform a piece of furniture to that condition.
This post reminds me of what I saw at the Alameda Flea Market on Sunday. I saw several vendors that had repainted vintage furniture and most of it was done incorrectly it just looked really off and so phony it was obvious they just took a spray can of off white or blue paint then slightly distressed it. I thought ok this trend is starting to get tired.
I am not against repainting wood sometimes its a big improvement especially mass produced furniture that you picked up from a thrift store in bad condition why not.
Its starting to feel like too many people have jumped on this band wagon of paint everything white or blue some have pulled it off and others make it look down right tacky.
What is going to happen to all of these painted pieces when we get tired of them. Will they then end up in land fills with more toxins?
I experimented painting a salvage yard chair find white its been two months of sitting with it and I am already tired of looking at it.
Where my wood pieces of furniture that I have had for 20 years I would not trade for anything and they just keep getting better.
Just thinking out loud here, does anyone else agree?
I was in a showroom down in Brooklyn a few weeks ago and the beautiful mix of slick and worn finishes. It really made for an interesting space.
You can't have everything "as is" if "as is" is worn and shabby. But a mix of finishes is great.
If the item has substantial value, don't touch it. (If it's something major, like a cabinet missing a leg, you likely won't hurt the value by sending it to a skilled restoration shop to get a new leg.)
if it's just a thrift shop find, and is pretty to you, but not substantially valuable, you might as well do what you want.
but for true antiques, even something as simple as polishing a pair of antique brass candle sticks, devalues the items.

Fun little beach cottage with shade and a great location
Villa Wixy lived up to expectations. The photos do a good job of showing the property. The pros: great views of the ocean, sunsets and beach activity, a wonderful shade tree (very special feature!), a nice hot tub (or lukewarm which was nice for hot days), and truly lovely property managers. Cons: the downstairs lounge is really uncomfortable so the cottage ends up feeling a little small, and the decor is fun but feels a little dated. Clifton in general does make you feel a little vulnerable to the possibility of a break-in, but my understanding is this is an issue everywhere in South Africa.
This is a review for villa Bali House
This is a review for villa Tranquil Skies
Cleaning staff should not simply arrive (by lift !) and encroach on guest space. Not at all comfortable. We are used to sharing space with staff having 2 maids and driver here in HK. However, they are trained to be far more discrete. Oh, and they never, ever, use our lift. AV system is antiquated. For the fees charged I would have expected something a little more modern. Pool far smaller than photos suggested. In all the time we stayed, glass (windows and balustrades) not cleaned once. Very dirty by end of stay. Our Thai houses are cleaned weekly.

Gentle gracious her garden, the guidance
I can't recall what was with the warm, sincere smile, and sunrise
Lost at ease and clarity.......I Sleep!
Forever In Peace, this dark, damp den, coffin will do
at last, a parting powerful, reunion and resting resort
Draped and locked like a curtain in Guantanamo
I use my words to peel scalps like Geronimo
Just like a teen girl my mouth has a heavy flow
If arousal luminesces then I'll make you glow
They're calling me a villain cuz I steal girls like Bowser
Wowzer, think I just filled my trousers
Though unlike the lizard I don't lose them to Italians
Cuz after one night girls confuse me for a stallion
Heart of obsidian inlaid with gold
A tongue of adamantium that stays so cold
My life is a story that's never been told
And I'm hoping that the credits roll before I get old
Fat girl the one people love to hate,
the one everyone wants to have a look in her plate,
as she walks towards her deserted corner table,
in the school cafeteria,
where she found it a bit comfortable,
consoling herself with fried chicken,
since she lacked a criteria of being mean
Fat girl stands next to fatter people to look thin,
can walk past an ice cream vendor and gain a few pounds,
without being apologetic of how many gallons,
her stomach could handle at once,
she lost weight but nobody cared to notice,
fat girl thinks she's ugly,
because the world makes fun of her daily,
fat girl don't you worry,
come to Africa where the word 'fat' is a different story,
a place where booty is respected and appreciated,
as it is a trait in our heritage not artificial but naturally created
Big is beauty,original is splendid,
talk of class,elegance sand style she is a goddess of different trades
Big is beauty,with love from africa Sandra K
Sun beams like Hot Choclate on a blue day...
Soft silky and smooth on your skin...
Butterflies softly floating like falling feathers in the wind...
Gently gliding gracefully over the bright green grass...
Eyelashes brush against your cheek like soft snowflakes on your face...
Fingertips flit freely across your arm...
Together playfully prancing like horses running wild...
Spinning tops twiling tenderly....
Wishes whispered wimsically like pixies playing hopscotch...
Softly calling quietly,
I love you!
slowly suddenly and then without warning it crosses us and blankets our world it turns the stunning orb into a hollow sphere dull and dead and nothing is seen just bleak dark black its there its lasting the silence never to end
the day slows to a standstill and goes backward
the noises about come to a close
the shades begin to venture
the bleak blacks cross the clouds
the sky is blanketed and choked out
the sun has fled
the day has left
the night is here
the silence is everywhere
in the empty silence
that cuddled me in
cold corners,
i found answers
written on the wall;
with finger nails
and blood stains.
the darkness kissed my cheek
and wiped my tears away
Sometimes gravity will have
It's grip on you.
All those moments you thought
Your feet were about to leave the ground
When your wings were finally carried
By the wind, only to have it disappear
At the edge of uncertainty.
Sometimes the choices you make
Feel like pit holes, and all
You ever do is fall into them
Getting lost in underground tunnels
Looking for the light that
Plays hide and seek with your mind.
Sometimes we forget to smile
When all we see are grey clouds
And the snow is falling a bit too much
We wish for sun that wont show itself,
Want things we know will come
But suddenly become impatient.
Sometimes we forget how many times
We fell while learning how to walk
We don't try to stand up when life
Pushes us down , we begin to crawl
And hope someone will find us
And lift us up, but sometimes
That person should be us.
Out here, wild rhubarb grows free,
Bitter beauty escapes designs by premiers
And presidents,
Red-veined leaves untouched by the
Of this desert.
Morality endures despite the sins
Of man,
Mere miles away.
Asleep at last, my small pond releases
Crawlers, bent on surveying the usual
Where spirits descend to warn of
Bad tidings, if wandering too far from this
In the moonlight, a pothole party regales
The gathered, with song and dance
From the faithful.
Wind spirits, twirling nearby,
Brush feathers, leaves and
Tentacles, with
Soothing echoes.
Green Darners dart about, flashing
Smoky emerald
While fireflies
Spark the dark night.
Out here,
Wild Rhubarb

The mysterious day,
Starts up the bubble,
Snooze button delay,
Two shift double,
Colorful schemes,
Heat on full blast,
Notorious themes,
Energy outcast,
Falling out,
Reaching for the hand,
Too much doubt,
A responder unplanned,
Trying to block out,
Block out a power,
A helpful soul's passion,
Upon a rush hour,
Saved with compassion,
Life blooming; beautiful flower,
Sometimes it takes,
One individual man,
To fulfill the steaks,
Of another's game plan.
Don't give in when life is hard, become that beautiful flower- life hands you cards or people to keep you moving-use the right card.
No matter what you look like;
you always look beautiful to me.
I never cared what you looked like.
Skinny or big,
your still beautiful to me.
I still love you.

Toronto Film Festival: Spring Breakers premiere
Selena caused a stir when she said at the same press conference that her younger fans 'shouldn't see the movie'. She saidL "The biggest challenge for me is that I do have a younger generation of fans that support me and that mean a lot to me. Plus, I think it's hard for people to take me seriously in that way because of the brand that I've been given, which I'm grateful for, but you know ... people obviously [put] you in this little box."
Responding to a question about whether her young fans should see the movie, Selena said: "Don't see it." She added: "I wrote a message on my social networking sites to them, saying kids my age - my generation - I think that they should see it because it's very real, we're not really sugar-coating anything. (But) I put underneath, it's rated R, so please don't see it if you're under 18!"

Steel industry consolidation is expected to continue in 2008, although the pace could slow as the number of attractive assets falls and countries such as China continue to protect their domestic industries, top steel executives told AMM.
"I don't think consolidation has run its course, but it's getting pretty close," Keith Busse, chairman and chief executive officer of Steel Dynamics Inc. (SDI), Fort Wayne, Ind., said. "In the integrated sector, there are just not that many assets out there."

from what i remember the worker bees warned against a launch due to ice and whatever but the bosses said to launch
what if I told you that every single launch has had some worker bees who thought their part of their module wasn't up to scratch, or might not work in the current conditions, and voiced this opinion to their manager? People with an engineering mind-set don't like uncertainty....
I don't have any evidence that this is actually the case, but it seems likely when so many people are involved in a project.
Ever ask yourself why the merchant would spend money on this? I mean there's no risk to the merchant. If stuff is bought with a stolen credit card then the credit card company or the bank bears the risk.
No, it's the merchant who bears all the risk. If someone disputes a charge, the merchant's acquiring bank writes a friendly letter asking for proof of the card-holder's authorization, eg a signed receipt. If you can't offer evidence that it was authorized, then you get a chargeback (ie they deduct the purchase amount from your account) and you are out of the value of whatever you mailed out to the customer.
When we sold stuff online, obviously we don't get physical signatures, but normally we could convince the customer that they had made the purchase (normally they forgot, or didn't recognise our name on their credit card bill) and the customer cancelled the dispute.
Why would the bank voluntarily eat the loss for fraud/disputes?
I understood that the high mortality is because most pancreatic cancers are not detected until the cancer has already spread. At which point it usually has already mutated enough to pick up a number of tricks that make it harder to kill, and thus less responsive to chemotherapy.
most solid tumours in organs are like that... they are asymptomatic until they get to an advanced stage.
But in this case, 95% of pancreatic cancers are in the tissue around the pancreatic duct. The other 5% are in a different type of pancreatic tissue and aren't as aggressive, so if they are detected and removed then most patients survive.
That would seem to be the new HP tablet that looks like a BlackBerry PlayBook but with a worse display and camera. What has that got to do with Harvard seeming to have forgotten the difference between a university and a corporation?
Some years ago, HP's board of directors approved spying on some of their own top executives to try to find the source of a leak. "Playbook" was supposed to be a metaphor for "game plan", not a product name

PHOENIX (AP) - Officials say private information of current and former students, workers and suppliers at the Maricopa County Community College District was exposed because of security vulnerabilities in the district's computer systems.
The district announced Wednesday that names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers and bank account information was exposed. It is notifying nearly 2.5 million students, suppliers and employees and will provide credit monitoring and other services.
The district has 10 community colleges and about 265,000 students attend classes each year. District spokesman Tom Gariepy says the total number of people affected is about 2,489,000.
Chancellor Rufus Glasper says there's no sign any personal information has actually been misused.
Gariepy says the FBI found someone offering to sell district data in April.
Several district information systems workers are being disciplined.

text: Jack Edwards was just a toddler when he died of leukemia in 1995. His parents scattered his ashes from a peak above Salt Lake City, where they later placed a memorial. Two mailboxes mark the site, with a notebook that begins with a letter from Jacks mother: Please take a moment to say hello to Jackie Jack and write a little (or long) note. The mailboxes now contain several journals filled with personal and poignant entries by visitors from the past 13 years. The hike is beautiful this time of year, when the Wasatch foothills are lighting up with wildflowers. Start at the Bonneville Shoreline trailhead on Lakeline Drive, southeast of the H Rock. Take the Shoreline Trail west about 0.3 mile, just past a brown post, to a footpath that goes north into an oak grove and makes a short, steep climb to the top of the H Rock. There are several trails to the ridge above; the easiest continues northeast 500 feet to a hard right turn. Go another 500 feet to the ridge trail. Go left along the ridge to the communication tower. There, the trail goes downhill briefly and then up, up, up northeast. Jacks Mountain peaks 1.6 miles from the trailhead. The mailboxes are just north of the summit. Do not disturb the memorial except to read and write in the notebooks.

|Holocaust by Bullets with Fr. Patrick Desbois
|Thursday, July 18, 2013 from 6:00pm to 7:30pm
|ICC Auditorium
|This event requires a ticket or RSVP
|Event details
The Program for Jewish Civilization invites the public to join us for a lecture by Father Patrick Desbois, president of the Yahad–In Unum Association. Since 2001, he and his team have made an effort to locate every mass grave and site at which Jews were killed during the Holocaust in Ukraine. To date, they have identified 800 of an estimated 2,000 such locations. They are also collecting artifacts and, most significantly, recording video testimonies from eyewitnesses—many of whom are speaking publicly for the first time. These invaluable testimonies will become part of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum's permanent collection.
This lecture is a free public event which is part of the Jan Karski Institute for Holocaust Education's summer certificate program for high school educators.
RSVP is requested.

Medicaid and CHIP
Provide Appropriate Funding for Physician Services
Medicaid is a state- and federally funded health care program that provides low-income patients access to essential health care services. Without Medicaid, millions more Texans would be uninsured: As of March 2012, Medicaid covered 3.3 million Texans. To qualify, patients must be low-income, though being poor does not mean a patient will qualify. For example, low-income childless adults are not now eligible even if their income meets the state's Medicaid income requirements
Key Issues
TMA Urges Congress to Extend CHIP Funding Beyond 2015
TMA signed onto a March of Dimes and Texas Pediatric Society letter asking Gov. Rick Perry to urge the Texas congressional delegation to support continued Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) funding beyond 2015. Though the program will run through 2019, federal funding for CHIP expires Oct. 1, 2015, unless Congress extends it.
Dual Dilemma State Pilot to Streamline Medicare-Medicaid Patient Care
When San Antonio pulmonologist John Holcomb, MD, treats patients enrolled in both Medicare and Medicaid, he knows he's dealing with a particularly fragile population that has little to no income and is elderly or has a disability. Neither these so-called "dual-eligible" patients nor the physicians treating them have it easy.
Medicaid Roadblocks: HMOs Save Money But Create Problems
The 2012 rollout of Medicaid managed care into rural areas and South Texas has been a rough ride for many physicians. And their patients, too.
Medicaid Congress Recommends Reform, Expansion
Finding a way for Texas to expand Medicaid coverage is among more than 100 different recommendations the Medicaid Congress researched and developed with input from diverse physician specialties and geographic regions across Texas.
Medicaid Makeover: 1115 Waiver Has Its Flaws
Transformation. Accountability. Coordination. Local solutions. These are just a few terms used to describe the lofty goals of the Medicaid 1115 waiver the state is undertaking to reform health care delivery for Medicaid patients and the uninsured.
State Now Paying Dual-Eligibles' Medicare Deductible
The Texas Health and Human Services Commission restored the Medicare Part B deductible payment on Jan. 25 for patients eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid, also known as "dual eligibles."
State Delays Medicaid Fee Increase
The Texas Health and Human Services Commission postponed the Medicaid primary care physician payment increase authorized under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
HHSC Adopts Disputed Medicaid Fraud Rules
Despite the Texas Medical Association's objections, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) adopted new "program integrity rules" that TMA believes give the agency's Office of Inspector General (OIG) too much power and presume that physicians are crooks. The rules took effect Oct. 14.
Medicaid Physician Payments
Texas primary care physicians would receive a temporary fee increase in 2013-2014 for treating Medicaid patients if the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) adopts a rule it proposed May 9.
Medicaid Managed Care
The state's Medicaid managed care program pays health plans a monthly fee to cover treatment of patients on Medicaid. Texas Legislature enacted numerous reforms to reduce Medicaid expenditures by nearly $3 billion, including authorizing the expansion of Medicaid HMOs, decreasing physician and provider payments, and reducing benefits and services.
Medicaid Expansion
The Supreme Court's decision upholding the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act may not help the uninsured in Texas as much as many people think, even if the state does expand the Medicaid system. There simply may not be enough physicians to care for the thousands of patients who would be added to the rolls.
TMA Advocacy and Communications
TMA Urges Congress to Extend CHIP Funding Beyond 2015
TMA signed onto a March of Dimes and Texas Pediatric Society letter asking Gov. Rick Perry to urge the Texas congressional delegation to support continued Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) funding beyond 2015. Though the program will run through 2019, federal funding for CHIP expires Oct. 1, 2015, unless Congress extends it.
Reform Medicaid First, Then Create Tx-Specific Expansion
Texas physicians have a clear message for our federal and state policymakers on the issue of Medicaid expansion: "Reform first, then expand only with a state-specific plan that targets the unique health care needs of our state's population and that Texas taxpayers can afford."

Drop in Physician Acceptance of Medicaid, Medicare Patients
Texas Medical Association (TMA) physician leaders have long predicted government regulatory burdens, red tape, payment hassles, and low pay would erode the physician foundation of both Medicaid and Medicare.
Dual-Eligibles Action Center
Until January 2012, the federal government (Medicare) paid 80 percent of a "dual-eligible" patients visit to a doctor. The other 20 percent of the cost was paid by Texas Medicaid. The state Medicaid program also paid the Medicare deductible for these patients. Under the new guidelines, which went into effect Jan. 1, 2012, Texas Medicaid no longer pays the physician the patient's 20-percent coinsurance. Nor does Medicaid pay the full $140 annual deductible if Medicare's payment for a service exceeds Medicaid's allowable. Follow updates on the

Overall User Rating: PanPal 12" x 16" Quilon Parchment Paper Pan Liner Sheets - 100 / Pack ( 4.9 stars from 43 reviews )
These pre-cut sheets make life easy in the kitchen. They can be used for several batches of cookies before needing a new sheet. I also use them to line pans when freezing items before moving to a storage bag.
Amanda K. Posted on 09/14/2014
We use these ALOT in the bakery .Makes items pop out and look more clean- or works best in the oven too. no sticking at all.
Nicole B. from Hardcore Sweet Posted on 09/10/2014
I bought these and use them on my half sheet pans for when I bake my sugar cookies. I use them under my cookies while decorating them also and it makes clean up a breeze.
Patty D. Posted on 09/05/2014
I absolutely LOVE these sheets. They fit perfectly on a half tray. I use to buy the full sheets and cut them down, no need to now! These sheets are a perfect fit and hold up well in the oven, no browning.
Jacqueline J. from Unique Treats by Jacquie Posted on 08/28/2014
This parchment paper is great for baking cookies or anything you do not want to stick on the pan. Used for our display cabinet liners and they absorbed the grease well and did not leak thru.. Highly recommend.
Christopher S. from STANS CONCESSIONS Posted on 08/15/2014
I bought this for baking cookies in my half sheet pan and I love it. So much better than rolling it out. Recommend purchasing this!
Shana E. from Just Velvet Posted on 08/13/2014
I could not cook without this useful item after I had used it once. No more messy greasing of cookie sheets. This is much cheaper than buying it in the rolls locally.
David R. Posted on 07/19/2014
This PanPanl 12" x 16" Quilon Parchment Paper Pan Liner sheets is okay for warming food on it. It is not great to use for baking meats, it paper burns easy and stick to the sheet pans. I will buy this brand again.
Charlene H. from T & C Catering Services Posted on 07/18/2014
We use these Parchment Paper sheets for just about everything. From baking with them to placing them under the baked goods on trays in the display case. I order some every time I place an order.
Lina B. from Jump Start Cafe Posted on 07/13/2014
I love this product! It is so easy to grab a sheet for my half pan to bake cookies or croissants. I also use it to line plastic tubs for transporting baked goods to Market. I appreciate the smaller 100 pack for my small business.
Cynthia A. from Honey House Nebraska Posted on 06/30/2014
I love these liners. I'm a home baker and am used to buying rolls of parchment paper from the grocery store for quite a bit more than the price of the 100 sheets here, and I love the ease of the pre-cut sheets that fit within my baking sheet. This is not the weight of "regular" parchment paper -- they are good for one bake only and then need to be replaced. (I believe they sell thicker weights that would work for that.) But I actually prefer this thinner paper, and it prevents over-browning just as well as the rolled product I'm used to.
Betina J. Posted on 06/20/2014
Love the precut half-sheet sized parchment. So much better than wrestling with the rolls of parchment that you buy at the supermarket. I appreciate being able to buy a pack of 100 sheets rather than a whole case. Very handy!
Claire K. Posted on 06/13/2014
Baking has really slowed down for me and I have not needed to use a whole lot of the product. What's good is that it's pre-cut to fit a sheet pan which is very useful and they can be re-used just as long as you don't go above 425 degrees.
Jaime P. Posted on 06/12/2014
What a deal! They are perfectly sized to fit a standard jelly roll pan or cookie sheet; great for grain-free baking recipes that tend to stick. Good value.
Casey B. Posted on 06/10/2014
What a time saver! No more cutting parchment. They fit perfectly in my half sheet baking pans. I would highly recommend this product to other bakers.
Gwen M. Posted on 06/01/2014
These 12x16 parchment paper pan liner sheets are so handy to use when baking just about anything. I use them at home when baking for employees and family.
Pat L. from Legends Salon Posted on 05/23/2014
I use these for everything. I use them for baking, cooling items, for prepping meats. They are the perfect size for 1/2 sheet cooking sheets. Will buy again.
Amanda C. Posted on 05/19/2014
This parchment paper is great. Easily useable and the case has more parchment paper than I think i'll use in a few years at home. Definitely a must buy for any baker.
Joshua L. Posted on 05/09/2014
While more expensive then buying bulk rolls of parchment paper these pan liners save time and they don't roll up on themselves which roll paper does.
Michelle S. Posted on 04/29/2014
These liner sheets are great if you need them in the half sheet size. We have limited space which is why we moved to using half sheets and these liner papers have been great for use with drying chocolate dipped fruit.
Robert M. Posted on 04/28/2014
This is a nice product because of the size of th package. it is easy to store, not heavy to lift and the product is commercial grade parchment
Andy K. from Andys catering Posted on 04/18/2014
These pan liners are the best. They are must have for any baking product. I use them on my Advance Tabco 18-8A-13 Half Size Sheet Pan 18 Gauge Aluminum pans. They fit just about perfectly. You can see from the pictures how they go up the sides slightly, but I think that is nicer because they keep the corners cleaner. Great for cookies, and prevents them from sticking. You can pull off the whole sheet with the cookies on them and slide them onto a cooling rack. They keep your pans nice and clean.
Mr. a. Posted on 04/12/2014
These parchment sheets are a must for any chef or baker. They are easy to use and extremely versitile. I cut rounds to use for cake pans (cakes come right out!) as well to bake perfectly moist fish in.
Susanna G. Posted on 04/09/2014
I love these sheets!!! I don't know what i would without them. These are great for baking or using them to let my chocolate covered items dry. I also use these to make parchment cones for piping chocolate/frosting/fillings.
Suzanne B. from Dancing Cats Cafe Posted on 04/08/2014
Nice thick parchment precut to the perfect size for half pans. Never had any problem with scorching or sticking with this paper. We use this at home and in our concession stand.
James R. Posted on 04/02/2014
Absolutely love these. An inexpensive disposable alternative to silpats, I use these when I want to clean up after cookie baking in a snap. Though I bake several times a week, this pack lasts me a long time. Great investment.
Katrina B. Posted on 03/31/2014
A must for most baking needs. Best I have ever used. I've been through more than 1000 sheets so far! I am very happy with the product.
Lena K. from Lena's pastry class Posted on 03/22/2014
The parchment paper allows me to bake a half sheet cake with little to no clean up. I can easily pull right from the cake
Monica R. from Daddy's Little Girls Cupcakes Posted on 03/13/2014
These sheets are a must have. Parchment paper saves tons of time in cleaning and sticking. Pre cut sheets are much more convenient then rolls.
Donald S. Posted on 03/11/2014
Used these pan liners to freeze cooled cheesecake drops, set chocolate after coating and catch any excess chocolate from decorating our handmade cheesecake drops. All I had to do was remove and dispose no extra clean ups.
Herdy C. from Skylar's Homemade Cheesecakes Posted on 03/06/2014
Skylar's Homemade Cheesecake Drops...
These pre-cut parchment paper pan liner sheets are wonderful. We have used them when baking a large variety of items (e,g,, cookies, bread, gooey battered chicken breasts). The primary advantages are: ease in getting the baked items back off the pan and much greater ease of cleaning the pans! Give these a try. I think you will love them!
Harvey L. Posted on 03/06/2014
This is great way to keep our dough prep and baking area cleaner. It is a great buy and we use many of these sheets during the week for baking our homemade Focaccia bread.
Anita H. from Moe & Anita's Pizzeria Posted on 03/02/2014
These make baking so much easier and less mess. The perfect amount of paper to cover a half sheet pan. Nothing sticks to it and they can be used over and over for the same batch of cookies.
Cheri W. from Countryside Cakes Posted on 02/11/2014
Parchment paper works great! Great price! I don't mind that it doesn't come in an enclosed packaging. I store mine in a BPA-free container to avoid clutter.
Minyoung M. from bobbyandbambi, llc Posted on 02/07/2014
This parchment paper is great to use for lining pans when baking everything from savory things like chicken to sweets such as cream puffs, scones and cookies!
My L. Posted on 02/05/2014
We use the PanPal Quilon Parchment Paper Pan Liners in both half and full sheet pan sizes for everything. Nothing sticks to these liners and the pricing on the 1000+ quantity packages is unbeatable.
Bryan W. from Flower & Flour Posted on 01/30/2014
This photos shows our use of the parchment sheets by cutting them down to line boxes of Parisian macaroons to keep various fillings from sticking to the boxes.
This parchment paper is a great value. I have spent quite a bit more for exactly the same quality other places. I use this for virtually all of my baking. Clean up is always a breeze.
Kari R. Posted on 01/20/2014
This is a great value for these pan liners. Shipping is very fast and arrived in perfect condition. They will work well with my sheet pans
Manuel K. from kedbys kreations & party rental Posted on 01/20/2014
This comes pre-sized so you don't need to cut it to fit your sheet pans, and it always lays flat! that's great! Also to note it is pretty much the same as all the other leading brands so no qualms with quality here.
Joseph M. Posted on 12/28/2013
These parchment sheets are amazing. They come flat (so much easier than a roll!) and are easy to store. Cookies come off the sheets without any cleanup. What more can you ask?
Susan R. Posted on 12/16/2013
I like the idea of the PanPal 12" x 16" Quilon Parchment Paper Pan Liners. They come 100 in a pack, precut to the specified size. I was a little surprised when they arrived flat and shrink wrapped to a piece of cardboard. I guess I imagined they would come in some type of dispenser box... Anyway are as advertised, and get the job done. They are just a little awkward to store and use.
Judith C. Posted on 11/22/2013
I love this parchment paper! Unlike the paper I bought on a roll, this lays flat in the pan and they always fit my half sheet pans. Nothing sticks!
Chris C. Posted on 11/15/2013
These parchment sheets are so versatile, I don t know what I would do without them. I bake on them, use them to place my chocolate pieces and layer them in delivery boxes to keep baked goods separate and safe.

Played piano in the rain last night for the first time! No doubt about it, it was THE MOST INTENSE PIANO PLAYING OF MY ENTIRE LIFE.
We had hundreds of people dancing to our jam. People were going nuts. And at the same time it was raining!! I usually stop when it starts to rain, BUT WE JUST KEPT PLAYING. AND THE PEOPLE JUST KEPT DANCING!
By the end, the rain was so hard there was no way we could have kept going! Haha.
People really loved it though. They all came up to me and said how much fun it was.
Oh and also…. I have to see if my piano is still playable…

Will imparting education to children in slums enrich their lives without the basic atmosphere, basic needs ?
People agree on the quote that education changes a man's fate and brings him out of poverty or from rags to riches. So when we decide to bring up the economy and the literacy rate, what we do is educate the uneducated children in the slums. I work with children of an orphanage and what we do is teach English to them every weekend. They don't have basic infrastructure, health care, the atmosphere which instead of motivating them to study, demotivates them.
We all do educate the children in slums but will they study in a condition in which they cannot even find food to eat.
Will they be forced to work as a child laborer* in order to earn money for their daily bread, or will they choose to continue to study ?
* Child labor still exists in some places in India. Although the government is taking steps to resolve this issue, they are unable to curb the menace since there is no clear data. Even if they find out, the employers claim to take care of the children.

Sri VatsanApr 26 2013: Child labor doesn't just exist in some places in India. Its is widely prevalent, even in major cities.
Imparting education to children will not enrich their lives immediately, it simply prepares them for the future.
But in order to ensure that the education that we provide them reaches them, a good atmosphere is necessary.
The government has taken measures to address these issues, but like all other government measures, corruption and indifference has made them inefficient.

Will California Say No to Ethanol
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
California regulators, trying to assess the true environmental cost of corn ethanol, are poised to declare that the biofuel cannot help the state reduce global warming.
As they see it, corn is no better – and might be worse – than petroleum when total greenhouse gas emissions are considered. Such a declaration, to be considered later this week by the California Air Resources Board, would be a considerable blow to the corn-ethanol industry in the United States.
If passed, the measure could serve as a model as other states and the federal government tackle carbon emissions.
That has the ethanol industry in a full-court press against the proposal, saying it risks killing investments needed to create the next generation of cleaner, more efficient biofuels.
But California's regulators say they have no choice.
The state must asses the full climate change impact of corn ethanol under a California law requiring a sharp cut in carbon emissions from transportation fuels. The board must encourage the use of cleaner alternatives like electricity, hydrogen and cellulosic ethanol, said board spokesman Dimitri Stanich.
The proposal would work like this: If increased production of corn-based ethanol in the U.S. raises corn prices and accelerates the conversion of rainforests and conservations lands to farmland worldwide, greenhouse emissions and loss of the carbon sink associated with such deforestation and disruption must be counted towards the biofuel's total emissions.
"Losing a carbon sink would defeat the purpose of this regulation to reduce greenhouse emissions," Stanich said.
The regulation is part of California's low-carbon fuel standard to reduce greenhouse emissions from transportation fuels by an average of 10 percent by 2020 or 16 million metric tons of carbon emissions over the next decade.
A regional low carbon fuel standard has also been adopted by eleven northeast and Mid-Atlantic states. And President Obama has called for a national low carbon fuel standard. Both efforts are likely to look at California's findings as a model.
Federal law requires U.S. transportation fuels contain 36 billion gallons of renewable fuel by 2022, of which 21 billion gallons must be cellulosic ethanol.
But an overwhelming majority of ethanol mixed into gasoline today comes from corn.
By 2012, about a third of all corn produced in the U.S. will go towards making ethanol, according to the U.S. Government Accountability Office. Proponents say this will create thousands of jobs while reducing carbon emissions.
They fear California's rule could stymie that, creating an unfair playing field that only penalizes biofuel production.
"We strongly support the low carbon fuel standard," said Roger Salazar, spokesman for Growth Energy, an ethanol advocacy group. "But the science behind (California's proposal) is extremely uncertain."
More than 100 scientists researching biofuel production agree, having signed a letter to California Gov. Schwarzenegger calling the policy misguided and based on limited scientific models that improperly punish corn-based biofuel.
"Results from the model have not been verified enough to be useful," said Harvey Blanch, a professor of biochemical engineering at University California, Berkeley, and one of the signatories. "There needs to be more studies validating this method before applying it to a legal framework."
This is the first piece of regulation to account for such so-called "indirect land-use effects" of corn-based ethanol. But it is the latest in an ongoing debate about the fuel's effectiveness to reduce greenhouse gases.
Prior research has shown converting corn to ethanol leads to more clearing of rainforests that would do little to slow global warming. A recent study looking at the total climate change and health costs from fuels found that corn-based ethanol equals or exceeds the costs of gasoline.

Baggage is an American dating game show, hosted by Jerry Springer. It premiered on April 19, 2010 and ended on December 2, 2011 on GSN. Baggage currently airs in reruns on GSN, Friday nights at 8PM Eastern and weeknights at 12 A.M. Eastern/11 P.M. Central.
Similar to The Dating Game, Baggage gives three contestants the chance to win the eye of a prospective date. The contestants carry three suitcases onstage: a small, medium, and large one. Each suitcase contains an embarrassing, unique, or weird proposition the contestant may have; for example, bad habits (e.g. "I share a bed with my grandmother"), strange relationship preferences ("My partner must dress up as Santa Claus"), issues with one's past ("I'm an outlaw in Mexico"), and strange hobbies ("I play video games 30 hours a week"). These cases represent the "baggage" to which they will confess and defend. The bigger the suitcase, the bigger the secret. Once the three contestants are pared down to one, the potential dater must admit to a fault of his or her own.
The game is played by first introducing the central character. Three contestants are then introduced, each accompanied by three pieces of baggage: a small one, a medium one, and a large one, with each one containing a corresponding secret. The central character also has a piece of baggage of his or her own, which is only revealed at the end of the show. During the show, three possible secrets are given about the central character's secret, only one of which is the actual secret contained in their baggage. After the contestants are introduced, they each open the smallest piece of baggage, and explain the secrets they contain.
In the second segment, Springer reveals the second level of each baggage, contained in the medium-sized suitcase. The three contestants are placed on the other side of the stage, along with the central character. Only the three contestants know which piece of baggage belongs to whom. The central character chooses the one piece of baggage which is the "deal breaker" (i.e., the one secret that he or she cannot accept). After stating this, the contestants then return to the other side of the stage and reveal which suitcase belongs to them. The person who claims the deal breaker baggage is immediately eliminated. The central character and two remaining contestants discuss the secrets in the medium pieces of baggage and plead their case as to why they should be the central character's choice. The two remaining contestants, one at a time, are then asked five questions about their personal lives.
The two remaining contestants open their largest pieces of baggage and reveal the secrets they contain. Each contestant makes one final statement, and the central character eliminates one final contestant. The central character then opens their baggage and reveals the contents to the remaining contestant. If the contestant accepts the secret belonging to the central character, the couple is given an expense-covered evening together. However, if the contestant can not accept the secret, the pair part ways (each is given a consolation prize of six-months subscription to a dating site).
Broadcast history[edit]
High viewer ratings for the show resulted in GSN renewing it for a second season which began on August 16, 2010 and aired through February 11, 2011. Season 3 began on June 6, 2011 and aired through December 2, 2011. On August 21, 2011, a GSN special titled Baggage First Dates aired following a five-hour Best of Baggage Marathon. Baggage First Dates featured a couple named Andre and Maggie talking to Springer about what happened on their first date following their initial appearance.
A syndication test run was shown on a select group of Sinclair Broadcast Group's stations January 10, 2011 and premiered in Australia on April 11, 2011 on the subscription television channel LifeStyle You. It began airing in syndication in the United States on September 17, 2012.
Reruns of the U.S. version can now be seen in syndication in America and on LifeStyle You in Australia.
International versions[edit]
There have been a number of local versions of Baggage around the world based on the original format. Licensing of the format is handled by NBCUniversal.

"If you find out it's a girl and you decide that, what you prefer is to terminate the pregnancy then that's your decision."

Local News
Candidate to seek Glynn board spot
By LOUIE BROGDON The Brunswick News A second candidate has announced an intention to seek the District 5 Glynn County Commission post to replace Commissioner Jerome Clark. Tashawnta Wells, 28, announced Tuesday she is seeking the seat to represent the city on the county commission. "I really want to give back to my community. I've been here all my life, and I want to serve," Wells said. Clark announced last month, as did commissioners Tom Sublett and Amy Callaway, that he would not seek reelection. The four-year terms of the commissioners will expire at the end of December. Wells, who is set to graduate from Armstrong Atlantic State University with a bachelor's degree in business this fall, was inspired to enter the political arena after visiting the Georgia State Capitol with the Golden Isles Minority Republican Caucus. Wells, an employee of administrative services for Habitat for Humanity of Glynn County, said a primary focus will be housing in the city. She wants to take down dilapidated houses and work to get more residents on track to becoming home-owners. Wells said she would also bring more jobs to the community and support police. The chief financial officer of the Golden Isles Minority Republican Caucus, she will qualify for the seat - the only one of the seven county commission seats currently in Democratic hands - as a Republican. Brunswick native Bernie Fulton, pastor of Salt and Light Family Ministry, has also announced plans to run for the District 5 post. Qualifying for the July primaries will be at the end of May.
