Today at Creating Change Conference in Oakland
Roberta Sklar, Director of Communications
Spirit of justice moves final Creating Change plenary
'We are a prophetic people. The people in this room have been called by God to cut a path through the wilderness.' — Bishop Yvette Flunder
The speakers at the final Creating Change plenary electrified the audience members and sent them on their way inspired and energized to take the lessons of the conference to their work for justice across the country and around the world.
|The Task Force's Russell Roybal presents the Creating Change Award to Andy Marra.
The Task Force presented a Creating Change Award to Andy Marra, a 20-year-old Korean American transgender activist, the Asian-Pacific Islander media fellow of the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, and chair of the national board of the National Center for Transgender Equality. Marra spoke about the community gathered in the hall as her family, and spoke about the limited definitions of family frequently presented by right-wing 'pro-family' activists, saying, "I refuse to allow my definition of family to be preserved in a fruit jar labeled 'WASP' to be stored and brought out for picnics and craft fairs."
|Matt Foreman presents the Allan Morrow Community Service Award to Regina Shavers.
The Task Force presented its first annual Allan Morrow Community Service Award to Regina Shavers, founder of GRIOT Circle, an intergenerational and culturally diverse community-based social service organization responsive to the realities and lives of older Lesbian, Bisexual, Gay Male, Two Spirit and Transgender Persons of Color.
"I'm glad to accept this award," Shaver said, "because it means being old, black and gay is becoming visible."
In his presentation of a Creating Change Award, California State Assemblymember Mark Leno mentioned the recent California special elections that were seen as a major victory for progressives and an important moment of cooperation between forces that will have to be brought together to defeat the proposed anti-marriage, anti-domestic-partner state constitutional amendments poised for the 2006 California ballot.
"We saw teachers, nurses firefighters, progressive faith leaders, labor leaders and advocacy organizations come together and it is the same coalition that I guarantee you will...succeed in defeating this right-wing extremist marriage amendment limiting the civil rights of our lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender families," he said.
|Assemblymember Mark Leno presents the Creating Change Award to Marina Gatto.
Leno presented the award to Marina Gatto, a COLAGE Youth Leadership and Action Program alumnus and Equality California activist whose advocacy was key in the 2005 legislative campaign to pass AB849, the bill to reform the state's marriage laws
"No child deserves to be told that their family is unequal," said Gatto, the daughter of a Latina lesbian couple.
Creating Change closed with a thunderous speech by Bishop Yvette Flunder, founder and senior pastor of City of Refuge United Church of Christ in San Francisco, and presiding bishop of Refuge Ministries/Fellowship 2000, a multi-denominational fellowship of African-American Christian leaders who promote religious inclusion across lines of race, gender, class and sexual orientation.
|Bishop Flunder electrifies the crowd.
Flunder urged conference attendees to recapture the spiritual power of the LGBT movement.
"We are a prophetic people," Flunder said. "The people in this room have been called by God to cut a path through the wilderness."
She added that the LGBT community was too often divided by differences in beliefs, political positions or tactics.
Encouraging activists to put aside differences for the sake of greater justice, she said, "You may not agree with your brother or sister's position, but you have to act like you do."
She then encouraged the audience to, "get passionate" about someone else's cause.
"Wear the T-shirt. Put the bumper sticker on your car. We are much more when we are together than we can ever be when we are separate," she said.
Lamenting the tendency of religion to be used for violence and separation, especially against LGBT people, Flunder said, "Let's give up religion for relationships."
She spoke to the separation many LGBT activists feel from spiritual traditions and faith communities, saying, "Somebody stole God from some of us. Somebody reached down inside you and stole your spirit from you."
But she encouraged activists not to abandon the spiritual dimension of the work they do for justice, saying, "Activism that is rooted in spirituality can bust hell wide open."
The audience wildly applauded Flunder's speech and left the conference with her words resonating as a spiritual call to all justice-seeking people:
"I challenge you, prophets, to stand up!"
Among the day's other highlights:
Hispanic and Latino Same-Sex Household in the 2000 Census presented key findings from analysis of 2000 Census data on Hispanic same-sex couple households conducted by the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force Policy Institute. The workshop discussed age, income, citizenship status and other demographic variables examined in the study and showed how these data can be used to educate the public, including LGBT people, about the particular threats anti-LGBT family policies pose to Hispanic same-sex couple families.
Local Organizing with LGBT Families: Building Allies through Playground Politics focused on various strategies developed by several of the growing number of local family membership and organizing agencies around the country for developing strong advocates among parents. Participants discussed how to build allies through the bridges created by children's involvement in schools, amps, medical settings, playgrounds and a variety of other settings.
Transgender Access to Homeless Shelters, led by several community activists who are working to make shelters safer for transgender people, discussed the problems transgender people face in the shelter system, what is happening to address the problem in cities across the country, and how to approach the problem.
Native Queers focused on the interests and concerns of contemporary American Indian queers. One of the major topics addressed was what makes up the native queer experience.
Strategies for Religious Support of LGBT Civil Rights explored the opportunities and challenges that the Coalition of Welcoming Congregations has encountered as it seeks to be a more progressive religious voice. The coalition is one example of progressive religious leaders and communities of faith working together to form a progressive, effective and media -savvy voice on matters relating to full civil rights for LGBT people.

The mission of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force is to build the political power of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community from the ground up. We do this by training activists, organizing broad-based campaigns to defeat anti-LGBT referenda and advance pro-LGBT legislation, and by building the organizational capacity of our movement. Our Policy Institute, the movementís premier think tank, provides research and policy analysis to support the struggle for complete equality and to counter right-wing lies. As part of a broader social justice movement, we work to create a nation that respects the diversity of human expression and identity and creates opportunity for all. Headquartered in Washington, D.C., we also have offices in New York City, Los Angeles, Miami, Minneapolis and Cambridge.

The need for a reliable vehicle that can multi-task has never been greater, and the MULE 4010 TRANS4x4 is built to tackle any job, anywhere. When large amounts of supplies, gravel or grain need to be moved, the MULE 4010 Trans4x4 has the strength to make the haul while also carrying two passengers. But when the necessity for carrying cargo shifts to ferrying people, this rugged MULE quickly transforms into a four-seater.
Offering the best of both worlds, the MULE 4010 TRANS4x4 side x side transforms from a Two- to a Four-Seater – Perfect for the farm or trail!
The need for a reliable vehicle that can multi-task has never been greater, and the MULE 4010 TRANS4x4 is built to tackle any job, anywhere. When large amounts of supplies, gravel or grain need to be moved, the MULE 4010 Trans4x4 has the strength to make the haul while also carrying two passengers. But when the necessity for carrying cargo shifts to ferrying people, this rugged MULE quickly transforms into a four-seater.
The ability to change without using additional tools or removing parts is what makes the Trans4x4 one of the most versatile vehicles in its class. Moving from a two-seater hauler to a four-passenger transport is done simply by folding the cab's cargo walls and rotating the rear seat into place. Reverse this process and the Side x Side returns to a two-seater with additional cargo space. Ease and efficiency are the results of such an innovative design.
The MULE 4010 Trans4x4 is built with reliable standard features such as selectable four-wheel drive, Electric Power Steering (EPS) system and a powerful engine equipped with Digital Fuel Injection (DFI®) that works in conjunction with a fully automatic transmission and locking rear differential. All these add up to make the versatile MULE 4010 Trans4x4 the go-to choice for just about any task.
Paying homage to Kawasaki's engineering heritage, the MULE 4010 Trans4x4 features an industrial strength liquid-cooled 617cc four-stroke V-twin, which is precisely controlled by a digital Electronic Control Unit (ECU) and Digital Fuel Injection (DFI) system. These systems also allow the engine to compensate for variations in atmospheric pressure, engine and air temperature. The result is smooth and consistent engine starts, crisp throttle response and more precise fuel metering, which helps reduce fuel consumption and emissions.
The ECU incorporates an automatic fast idle speed control that activates when the engine is cold, eliminating the need for a manual choke. Maximum engine speed is regulated electronically, eliminating the need for a mechanical governor.
Power from the 617cc V-twin engine is transferred to the ground via a continuously variable transmission (CVT) that features both high and low range plus reverse. A dependable, low-maintenance shaft drive system delivers power to a dual-mode rear differential that can be locked to maximize traction. If the rear differential is left unlocked, the driver experiences improved handling and minimized ground disturbance when making tight turns. MULE 4010 Trans4x4 drivers can also engage four-wheel drive for extra traction in difficult conditions.
While the wheelbase of the MULE 4010 Trans4x4 is 11.6 inches longer than a standard 4010 4x4, it still offers a tight turning radius and excellent rough terrain capabilities.
The Electric Power Steering makes the low-effort rack-and-pinion steering system even easier to turn. The EPS reduces steering effort by up to 30 percent, and is a significant boost at low speeds in four-wheel drive, using input from vehicle speed and torque sensors to determine how much assistance is provided by the system's electric motor.
Effective stopping power is provided by four hydraulically operated, self-adjusting, sealed drum brakes designed to resist contamination from water, mud and other debris. Large 23-inch low-pressure tires provide a comfortable ride, great traction and help minimize impact over a variety of terrain.
A smooth-riding MacPherson strut front suspension works in conjunction with a heavy duty DeDion-type leaf spring rear suspension system to provide the 4010 Trans4x4 with an extended-bed 800-pound cargo capacity, or a 400-pound cargo capacity when in four-passenger mode. In addition to its stellar payload capacity, the MULE 4010 Trans4x4 side x side can tow up to 1,200 lb with its standard 2" receiver hitch and an optional draw bar.
The strength of the 2014 MULE 4010 Trans4x4 can be seen from beginning to end. A strong tubular steel front brush guard that improves durability is coupled with a 2" hitch receiver that allows towing of up to 1,200 lb.
With the forward/reverse, high/low-range gear lever and the four-wheel drive selector all within easy reach on the dash, drivers can focus more attention on negotiating rough or fragile terrain.
Cabin features include an easy-to-read multi-function digital fuel gauge and hour meter, a dash-mounted horn button that eliminates unintended honking while turning and a comfortable, sporty steering wheel.
The 4010 Trans4x4 dashboard features an easy-to-see coolant temperature warning light, digital fuel gauge/hour meter combo, a dash-mounted horn, dual glove boxes, driver and passenger cup holders and a push-button control that activates the headlights. The cab also features retractable rear seat belts and padded rear-passenger grab handle.
With its stylish and rugged bodywork, this four-wheel drive Side x Side is a natural in tough work environments. Its body panels are manufactured from a durable, color-molded plastic that helps hide minor scuffs and scratches. The extendable cab on the MULE 4010 Trans4x4 is surrounded by an extremely strong large-diameter steel Roll Over Protective Structure (ROPS) that meets SAE J1194, 7.1.1, 7.1.2, 7.4, and 7.5 requirements for wheeled tractors, and also meets the FMVSS 216 roof crush resistance requirement.
The front hood can be opened with the pull of a dash-mounted knob and allows access to a deep storage space equipped with convenient D-rings to help secure cargo. Additionally, two levers make opening and closing the tailgate a secure and easy process. The convenience factor on the 4010 Trans4x4 extends beyond easy-access latches or controls; it also boasts owner-friendly features like the winch-ready mounting plate located under the front grille, which greatly simplify the winch-mounting process.
Maintenance chores are simplified with an air restrictor gauge in the cab to indicate when the air filter needs to be cleaned or replaced, and the fuse box and oil dipstick are conveniently located beneath the seat for quick access.
Completing the appeal of the MULE 4010 Trans4x4 is Kawasaki's promise to keep you running Strong with our standard Three-Year Limited Warranty.
A host of Genuine Kawasaki Accessories are available for the MULE 4010 Trans 4x4, and they include an enclosed cab, cab heater, snow plow, and soft or hard tops. These and many other Genuine Kawasaki Accessories are available through authorized Kawasaki dealers.

text: What started as a concern for stay cats in Sterling Heights has turned into a war of words on Twitter, with a high-ranking city official under fire. It started when Sterling Heights Mayor Pro Tem Michael Taylor responded to a negative tweet. "I'll own my comment, and I'm not going to back down from it. When somebody sends me a disgusting email, I'm going to respond to it. I'm not one of these politicians that just, you know, gives a vanilla, public-relations response," Taylor tells FOX 2's Andrea Isom. He tweeted: "Be cool, Jules. He's a troll. Kinda like the people who keep emailing me about feral cats....Kidding!"Cat advocates across the country caught wind of the remark and the claws came out. "Everyone wants to put it out that we're these crazy cat people," says Laura Wilhelm Bruzek, Director of Paws for the Cause. "I don't think that any elected official, who is being paid by the taxpayers, should be name calling, even if he is quote 'kidding,'" says Carol Lowther, an animal foster parent. She says she was one of the people who has emailed Taylor about the cat situation, and does not consider herself an Internet "troll."The city of Sterling Heights has been trying to fix its feral cat problem. Many have suggested the city take the TNR approach, or trap, neuter and return the cats, but say the city has not paid any attention to their suggestion. "If somebody's accusing me of not caring, nothing could be further from the truth. I spent all day responding to people about this feral cat issue. I'm very interested in it; I'm very involved in it; I do care. I want to do what's best for the residents of Sterling Heights," Taylor says. He also apologized on camera saying: "I do regret making that comment and painting everyone with a broad brush. There were only a few people doing it in a disrespectful way. Most of the people are, like I said, good-faith animal lovers, cat lovers, who just want to make sure the city's protecting the feral cats in our community and doing it in a humane way." Taylor says the feral cat conversation is not over and will talk with anyone who brings solutions to him.

WASHINGTON (WRCB/AP) - President Barack Obama bluntly challenged Congress Monday to act immediately on his new jobs plan, brandishing a copy of the legislation in the Rose Garden and demanding: "No games, no politics, no delays."
Surrounded by police officers, firefighters, teachers, construction workers and others he said would be helped by the $447 billion package, the President said the only thing that would block its passage would be lawmakers deciding it wasn't good politics to work with him. "We can't afford these same political games, not now," Obama said.
[READ: Overview of the American Jobs Act]
The President said he was sending the package to Congress later Monday, after unveiling it last week in a speech to a joint session of Congress. Then he's heading out to try to sell it to the public, on Tuesday in Ohio - home state of House Speaker John Boehner - and Wednesday in North Carolina.
At the same time, the Democratic National Committee is backing up the effort with a new ad campaign in politically key states from Nevada to New Hampshire.
The centerpiece of the plan cuts payroll taxes that pay for Social Security, giving a tax break to workers and businesses. There's also new spending for teachers and school construction, and an extension of jobless benefits, among other elements. Republican lawmakers who control the House have promised quick review of the legislation and seem open to the tax-cutting elements, but some have already rejected new spending.
Locally, the White House says the American Jobs Act will support more than 60,000 jobs in Tennessee and Georgia. The plan calls for an investment of $5.39 billion on everything from highways and rails to schools and home rehabilitations.
By the numbers:
TENNESSEE (source)
The American Jobs Act calls for Tennessee to receive $1.8 billion in federal investments and create 23,600 jobs.
Number of unemployed in Tennessee in July 2011: 306,200
Infrastructure modernization (highways, rail, airports): $619,000,000 and 8,000 jobs (mostly construction)Teachers, Police and Firefighters: $596,000,000 and 9,400 jobsPublic School modernization: $474,700,000 and 6,200 jobsRehabilitation and Refurbishing Vacant/Foreclosed homes: $56,800,000Community College modernization: $61,800,000
Unemployment Insurance reform could help put 130,000 long-term unemployed to workPathways Back to Work Fund would "provide hundreds of thousands of low-income youth and adults with opportunities to work and to achieve needed training in growth industries. Pathways Back to Work could place 2,700 adults and 15,600 youths in jobs in Tennessee."
Average tax cut in Tennessee: $1,270
GEORGIA (source)
The American Jobs Act calls for Tennessee to receive $3.59 billion in federal investments and create 38,200 jobs.
Number of unemployed in Georgia in July 2011: 466,600
Infrastructure modernization (highways, rail, airports): $1,044,800,000 and 13,600 jobs (mostly construction)Teachers, Police and Firefighters: $956,700,000 and 12,800 jobsPublic School modernization: $909,500,000 and 11,800 jobsRehabilitation and Refurbishing Vacant/Foreclosed homes: $543,000,000Community College modernization: $140,600,000
Unemployment Insurance reform could help put 259,000 long-term unemployed to workPathways Back to Work Fund would "provide hundreds of thousands of low-income youth and adults with opportunities to work and to achieve needed training in growth industries. Pathways Back to Work could place 4,000 adults and 16,100 youths in jobs in Georgia."
Average tax cut in Georgia: $1,330
Fully Funded
The President says he will call on the Joint Committee, made up of Republicans and Democrats from both houses of Congress to make the deficit cuts in order to cover the $447 billion the jobs plan will cost the taxpayers.
"The President will, in the coming days, release a detailed plan that will show how we can do that while achieving the additional deficit reduction necessary to meet the President's broader goal of stabilizing our debt as a share of the economy," a release from the White House stated.

We offer two ways to locate information:
Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
This wine presents a delicate balance of power versus finesse showcasing nuances of lilac, sweet dark fruits, smoke, and Asian spices. We worked very hard to make this wine rival or surpass the 2001 Cabernet. By rigorously applying the finest viticultural practices to the vineyard, meticulously selecting the best fruit, and integrating these ingredients with gentle fruit handling we arrived at this classic, age worthy wine.
Blend: 97% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Merlot, 1% Cabernet Franc

"Unlike some minuscule production "cult" wines or luxury cuvees culled from a winery's primary product that have earned perfect scores over the years, Quilceda Creek's Cabernet Sauvignon is the winery's raison d'etre and is produced in significant quantities (3,400 cases in 2002, 3,425 in 2003). For accomplishing this feat the Golitzens should be doubly proud. Dark ruby-colored and sporting a nose of violets, sweet blueberries, dark cherries, and slight undertones of asphalt, the 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon blossoms on the palate to expose a wine of ethereal delicacy yet immense power. Medium to full-bodied, it expands to reveal concentrated layers of cassis, blackberries, red cherries, raspberries, violets, spices, and touches of candied plums. This rich, exquisitely balanced, sweet, and broad wine is harmonious, graceful, and awesomely long. Projected maturity: now-2022. Congratulations Alex and Paul, welcome to the big leagues."
100 Points
The Wine Advocate
"Amazing density; the aromas billow up from the glass and weave together sinuously, taking you on a magic carpet ride before the wine even hits your mouth. This wine has the power of a monster California Cab while retaining the subtlety of a first-growth Bordeaux. It is just a massive blast of dark fruit, incredible viscosity, silky textures and soft herbs, pepper and spice. The oak—all new, all French—is unobtrusive and perfectly integrated."
97 Points
Wine Enthusiast
"Bright, deep ruby-red. Pungent nose combines black raspberry, black cherry and baking spices. Fat and sweet but primary; del ivers an impressive blast of fruit. Not yet complex but this compellingly sweet wine shows a very refined tex ture. Finishes with ripe, building, very suave tannins and a strong flavor of chocolate. Paul Golitzin told me that there's more Taransaud in this vintage than previously, as Quilceda Creek is phasing out its Seguin-Moreau barrels."

The murder trial of former Yugoslav spy bosses Zdravko Mustac and Josip Perkovic could expose the past crimes and continued influence of intelligence service officials in Croatia.
Few Croatian Roma get a decent education – the only pathway out of their isolated ghetto-like communities - but some are struggling against the odds.
As Croatian war veterans commemorate victims of the longest battle of the 1991-95 conflict, ethnic tensions in war-traumatised Vukovar remain troubled after a campaign to limit Serb minority rights.
Croatia's constitutional court will soon decide if there will be a referendum on reducing ethnic minorities' language rights – a move which could encourage nationalist extremism, experts warn.
Nineteen years after Croatian forces seized back swathes of territory from Serb control during 'Operation Storm', relatives of those killed are still demanding answers from Zagreb about their loved ones' fates.
Dream of becoming the 'new Norway' are driving Croatia to explore the potential oil and gas deposits in the Adriatic – but environmentalists and tourist experts are concerned about the possible effects.
Authorities in the region should realise that defining marriage in the constitution as a union between a man and a woman is not only pointless, but actually harmful.
Croatia's latest war crimes acquittals show how the country is feeling freer to leave wartime atrocities unpunished now that EU pressure to deal with the past has eased.
Twenty-two years after the Bosnian war began, there is still no consensus in the country about its causes, and because of continuing ethnic divisions, there may never be any agreement.
A hundred years on from the Sarajevo assassination, schools in former Yugoslav countries are teaching different histories about the causes of the 1914-18 war, reflecting more recent conflicts.
A dramatic turnabout is needed if press freedom in Europe is not to succumb to the twin pressures of overt violence and defamation lawsuits.
The language used about Russian meddling in Ukraine is grossly disproportionate and an insult to the victims of the wars in ex-Yugoslavia.
Among the rare old video clips published recently by British Pathé are many recording key moments in Balkan 20th-century history.
By stubbornly pursuing doomed genocide lawsuits against each other, Croatia and Serbia entered a legal suicide pact that cost taxpayers millions and perpetuated pernicious narratives about the past.
Disabled war veterans from all over the former Yugoslavia come together to play at volleyball tournaments – but that doesn't mean they're getting any closer to post-conflict reconciliation.

LONDON/PARIS (Reuters) - Royal Bank of Scotland
The outlook for European banks as a whole remains shaky, with France's biggest bank BNP Paribas
RBS is seen showing a pretax profit of 800 million pounds ($1.2 billion) but unlike another bailed out bank, Lloyds, its share price is still far below what it was when the last UK government pumped 45 billion pounds into the bank in 2008.
Analysts say the recovery from a 1.4 billion pound loss in the first quarter a year ago will show the bank benefitting from reduced losses on bad loans and a decline in the cost of compensating customers for mis-sold loan insurance.
Chief Executive Stephen Hester has overseen the shedding of around 900 billion pounds in assets and is focusing on lending to British households and small businesses. But he still has major hurdles to overcome.
Britain's financial regulator said in March UK banks must raise 25 billion pounds of extra capital by the end of the year to absorb any future losses on loans. Although the regulator has not yet given specific guidance to individual banks, analysts expect the biggest shortfall to be at RBS.
RBS must also ask European regulators to extend an end-2013 deadline it set for the bank to sell 315 branches as a condition of receiving state aid. A deal to sell the branches to Santander
Fellow UK lender Lloyds
But the euro zone's troubles and poor growth across Europe continues to weigh on the financial sector. BNP
French banks are mulling staff cuts and branch closures at their retail networks as fee income dries up.
Analysts on average forecast BNP's net income to fall to 1.53 billion euros ($2.02 billion), compared with 2.87 billion a year earlier, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S data.
BNP may give more details on its drive to cut costs and grow in non-euro markets to help rebuild investor confidence. Its shares are down 0.7 percent year-to-date, worse than a 5.1 percent gain for the STOXX Europe 600 banks index <.SX7P> but better than rival Societe Generale's
The bank's shareholder structure is also in focus after sovereign shareholders Belgium and Luxembourg said they were open to selling equity stakes held in the bank.

(Reuters) - Goldman Sachs Group Inc
The appointment of Tucker, 54, is the seventh change announced to Goldman's board this year as the investment bank has sought to appease shareholders seeking corporate governance reform.
Tucker, an accountant by training, is the chief executive of AIA Group Ltd <1299.HK>, the Asian insurer that American International Group Inc
He has been widely credited with getting the company back on its feet after the struggles AIG and its subsidiaries had during the financial crisis. Prior to AIA, Tucker was CEO of Prudential PLC
In a statement, Goldman Chairman and CEO Lloyd Blankfein touted Tucker's experience leading insurance and banking businesses globally, as well as his risk management skills.
Last month, Goldman said private-equity executive and former Credit Suisse Group AG
Earlier in the year, ahead of its annual meeting, Goldman said it would nominate James Schiro to a newly created title of lead independent director, replacing John Bryan, who did not stand for re-election. Lois Jubiler also left the board, while M. Michele Burns, a longtime executive at the consulting firm Marsh & McLennan Companies, became chair of the audit committee.
The changes have helped avoid battles with shareholders like the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), which have wanted Goldman to split the CEO and chairman responsibilities.
Instead, Goldman has added more independent directors and introduced more checks and balances. For instance, Schiro must perform an annual review of the CEO and set the board agenda.
Goldman's board now includes nine directors who have never been Goldman employees and 10 who are not current employees. It also includes Blankfein, Chief Operating Officer Gary Cohn, who is president of the board, and Stephen Friedman, who retired as senior partner in 1994, a role that was equivalent to CEO while Goldman was still a private partnership.
Viniar will join the board at the end of January, bringing the number of directors up to 13.

In 2004 I wrote my first family history book for my mother, aunt and uncles as a Christmas present. All were so enthralled with it, I couldn't stop there. I have since "published" a second edition in 2012.
I am currently working on my first novella. This has been 4 years in the making, and I would like to finish it sometime in the near future as I have many more stories bubbling away in my head. Unfortunately, due to having way too many passions, my time has to be shared and divided between them all. My self-confidence could also do with a major "leg-up"!
I am thrilled to announce that my debut novella Symphony of War is now available to download via the Amazon website. If you do not have a Kindle that is fine. You don't need one as there is a Kindle Reading App that you can download for free on to whichever device you use (e.g. iPhone, iPad, PC). Please follow the link below:

Evidence that UFO's Cannot be from Other Planets?
Discussion about UFO's, Aliens, ET's, Alien Abductions, Ancient Astronaut theories, etc.
Re: Evidence that UFO's Cannot be from Other Planets?
Share |
Time travel is the leading explanation for UFO's getting here? That's news to me. Time travel usually means going back in time, and has no relevance to UFOs. However it is possible to time travel forward in time do to time dilation as described by Einstein's relativity and proven in experiments. I always find it depressing how few people seem to know of that well known phenomena. And then there's the other explanation that UFOs travel in other dimensions that we of course don't know anything about and probably have nothing to do with the speed of light.
Re: Evidence that UFO's Cannot be from Other Planets?
The anser to the topic title iz yes. It iz evidence against UFOz being from distant star systemz.
Its not proof.
The science coud be rong and there can be other factorz that negate or circumvent it.
For example, the UFOz coud hav simply spent thouzandz or millionz uv yirz getting here. The alienz are likely to be immortal, so why not?
The nee jerk objection to that iz 'why woud they come here' but who sez they arent just wandering around to all the systemz with planets? The space ships are there homez, so the entire return trip idea duznt exist.

Re: Evidence that UFO's Cannot be from Other Planets?
Pretty sure that was a typo by PW.
Re: Evidence that UFO's Cannot be from Other Planets?
No, no typo I don't believe. Here's a quick article from "Extraterrestrial Contact (I'd give the web site, but it has all sorts of pop-ups):
"Faster than light Travel
As stated earlier one of the arguments that scientists and sceptics use is that they claim it is not possible to go faster than the speed of light. As a result it would not be viable for an advance civilisation to bother visiting us. However as technology develops science is now predicting that faster than light travel is now possible.
There have been many ways that science fiction writers have enabled faster than light travel into their stories. These include Black Holes, Worm Holes, and Gravity Waves. All these 20 years ago were complete fiction, but now all of these are in fact theoretically possible. Black holes have been found and scientists have speculated that travel through them would in theory be possible without being destroyed. Worm holes have been mathematically proven and again they could be used as a mechanism for travel. Gravity waves which have only recently been identified are being investigated. (Gravity is still according to most scientist the least understood of all of the forces of Nature. Who knows what they will find in 20, 50 and 100 years time ?).
Again it is interesting to think back on the claims of Bob Lazar. Now whether you believe his story or not his explanation of how the UFO's travelled space is intriguing. Without going into the full explanation of the Lazar theory, I will briefly summarise. Basically what Lazar said was that the UFO focused their gravity wave generators on the point in space where they what to travel. The gravity generators would pull/warp space between them and the destination, the gravity generators would then be turned off and the craft would "snap" to the destination point. I.E The ship has not actually travelled any distance. It will be interesting to see if this turns out to be how UFOs travel their vast distances."
Actually, according to the Laws of Physics as we know it, we cannot go faster than the speed of light: http://www.physlink.com/education/askexperts/ae283.cfm
However, as I pointed out in the article above from a UFO believer website, it is often theorized that the most feasible way of UFOs getting to earth was by moving faster than the speed of light, thus revearsing time itself. What the original article is stating is that traveling faster than light is "impossible." That leaves really the only other possible explanation of inter-dimensional travel which is also questionable and a different subject. As my title states however, I stated "evidence," not "proof" as one of our friends on here likes to use in his titles.
Re: Evidence that UFO's Cannot be from Other Planets?
I don't think what you're describing is how we usually think of time travel, but ok...
Re: Evidence that UFO's Cannot be from Other Planets?
Again, it's interesting how I mention time dilation according to Einsteinian relativity and it is ignored yet again. One doesn't need to go faster than light to get here from another star system. They just need to get to a speed near that of light. I'm just not understanding why that simple and well known concept is missing in the UFO community.
Re: Evidence that UFO's Cannot be from Other Planets?
"ignored yet again?" you have 4 posts here, including that last one!
And you are assuming that everyone knows what you are talking about. Why don't you explain? If you're not going faster than light, then it's stil going to take a looooooonnnnnggggg time to get here. Unless there is space-faring life only a few light years away - which we have no evidence of. And of course we're presuming that it is possible to travel near the speed of light.
Re: Evidence that UFO's Cannot be from Other Planets?
That's right. The closest planet that has been discovered that could potentially sustain life (not mentioning intelligent life) is over 20 light years away. So, if one is to use the Einstein theorry of light speed, then it must also be discussed if food is available, health care, and all of the other issues that a 40 year trip would require in a rrelatively small aircraft...at least as we know it to be on earth.

Back-to-school shopping primer
Comparison shop: Just about every store you step into will have a sale going on this weekend. But, you can maximize those savings by looking for printable or mobile coupons and by using search engines to do some comparison shopping. There's no way you can remember exactly who had the lowest price on the cute pair of shoes your daughter wanted or the must-have plaid shirt your son has been begging for. Price Grabber through eDeals allows you to compare prices from store to store. PriceFight.com lets you know instantly if a price drops on a product.
Yowza!! uses GPS technology on your iPhone to help you find the best online coupons for stores in your area. With the RedLaser application, you can video scan a bar code to compare prices on products.
Use coupons: Why pay full price when you can use coupons for online and in-store shopping. You can save hundreds on back-to-school shopping this way. Among the most popular: RetailMeNot.com, FatWallet.com and CouponCabin.com.You may find printable coupons on these sites as well.
Do an inventory check: Before you go out and buy a bunch of school supplies, check around the house to see if you already have the items. For instance, you probably have plenty of pencils, pens and crayons still around. There may even be notebooks still in good condition, a sturdy enough backpack and other items that don't need to be restocked.
Check the list: Most students will get a list of required school supplies for the year. Teachers will tell you that it's best that you stick to the list. If your child needs No. 2 pencils, go with basic pencils. While the children will beg for SpiderMan accessories and other characters on folders and pencils, sticking with the basics will save you money.
Stick to a budget: Want to avoid impulse purchases? Come up with a back-to-school shopping budget and stay within your budget.
What will be your back-to-school shopping strategy? What's your budget?

The one school supply I REFUSE to buy is hand sanitizer! I teach my children to use soap & water & that's what I expect them to use at school. I bet the teachers don't come in from the playground & get a pump of hand sanitizer & then eat lunch. There are no excuses when schools have running water. PLEASE I don't want to hear the tired excuse "it's quicker " or "it's just as good". Nothing is as good as soap & water. Nothing.

I know Jack Booted Thug doesn't really do that, he is too literate to really have that kind of mentality. Good point, however, there are a number of parents that do that, but then again they are the same ones that use food stamps and get a welfare check but somehow can drive Escalades. Yep, I've seen them, they couldn't afford a low cost car seat provided by the health clinic to put inside their car. Oh, and it had a 1G upgrade to the wheels. Those same parents cry broke when having to send in $5 for a school field trip. Meanwhile, we scrimp and save to provide for our kids, and buy what's on the list. Whatever.

@ JesusFreak,
This is a school blog so I will keep it short. When "those people" got in/out of their Caddies did you question them? How do you know they get food stamps & a "welfare check" (no such thing BTW it's TANF & like the name implies is TEMPORARY) Did you ask who the owner of the car is?
Is the teacher telling you which parents are sending in money & which aren't?
You really shouldn't be so judgmental.

By watching the sales all summer, I never spent more than $10-15 for each of my elementary school kids, and I bought everything on the teachers' lists. (I even bought the things I disagreed with; who wants to be labeled a trouble-maker on the first day of school!?)
About field trips … parents should add a separate line item for school expenses on their budgets. (Maybe $5-10 per month.) My kids would never get to go to most of those places without the group discounts, bus transportation, and chaperones.

And the water in the kids bathrooms in Gwinnett are only cold and not paper towels – just air dryers. Who wants to wash their hands in the dead of winter with only cold water?

Soap diluted with water is still soap. It still cleans your hands and still remains the best way to be clean. Also, I know this sounds crazy but hand sanitizer can actually make you sick because when you use antibacterials on your body, you're also killing off the good bacteria that naturally fights the baddies. Please educate yourselves because as humans, we have natural ways of fighting off sickness and the more we introduce antibacterials and antimicrobials, the more we kill off our bodies own defenses…..Just sayin'…..

@meagain – the teachers I see at my school; one of the largest elementary school in in Gwinnett
Cty absolutely use the hand sanitizer. If their schedule is such that they come in from the playground straight to lunch, students do not enter the cafeteria before using sanitizer. If students are coming straight from the classroom, the kids line up, one person has the sanitizer bottle and everyone gets the opportunity to clean hands. Not all classrooms have a sink with soap and water. Enough about that. We use backpacks a couple of years along with lunch bags, scissors etc. Cheap pencils are not so great. They do not sharpen well so they get wasted. Spend a very $$ on good pencils. Once the back to school buzz is over and prices drop, I stock up for the mid-year requests and for the next fall. This year I have decided to not to purchase all the items on the requested list. I will keep supplies at home rather than in a "community" supply in the child's classroom. Each child goes to school with items specific to her, folders, notebooks, a limited amount of small items (crayons, pencils 1-bottle of glue not 4) labeled with her name. I will replenish when said child says she is out of something or needs an item for a new project. Too many supplies are wasted by kids who see excess in the classroom. Teachers don't have the space for all of it at once. Some teachers have tons of leftovers from years of teaching. I suggest asking at registration what the teacher really needs before sending that ream of copy paper. She may have an abundance already. Just my opinion.
August 1st, 2010

No, no, no. Nice try, but no.
Anti-bacterial soaps with widespread usage can cause anti-bacterial resistant bacteria to thrive and develop into bigger "super-bugs". But there is no "helpful" bacteria on your skin that you need to keep. There may be some "good' bacteria on your skin, but it is merely coincidental. The "bad" bacteria isn't being killed by the "good" bacteria just sitting on your hands. That occurs in your stomach and intestines.
The use of hand sanitizers is literally, scientifically, medically, as good as soap and water.
And in fact, it's better than using cold water to wash your hands. Some studies have shown that using cold water when washing your hands is not nearly as effective as warm water or hand sanitizers. The school that is too cheap to deliver hot water to the sinks isn't doing their students any favors.

Soap cleans better than sanitizer. God, this is why people homeschool!
August 1st, 2010
7:11 pm
I can tell you that the best way to buy school supplies is to stick to the basics. Paper, pencils, crayons, scissors and a pencil BAG w/ zipper. The teacher will need many of the "hygenic" supplies later in the year when the seasons change. Keep those and EXTRA basics at home for later use during the year. It is really tough to supply kids toward the end and the supplies are cheaper now.
Get ready for complaints, but well worth it in the end.
August 2nd, 2010
7:22 am
@ meagain…What do you do when the school doesn't refill the soap in the bathrooms? Or the not-so-great students pull the soap off the walls, empty it into the toilet and flush the toilets so it bubbles over? Soap might be better, but hand sanitizer is better than NOTHING.
Teachers have a reason for everything they request, even if you do not understand their reasoning. Just buy it and leave it alone. I spend hundreds of dollars every year on supplies from my own paycheck, and I ask each parent to spend about $5-10 a year on supplies in my classroom to help out. It's a pretty good deal for parents.

I don't agree with teachers asking for supplies such as DRY ERASE MARKERS!! I don't understand why I am asked to help supply them with supplies that the school systems should be purchasing. We all know good and well that our kids won't be using those markers! I am an educator who was laid off this year and I am not willing to spend money to buy these things because the school systems have mis-managed funds and can't afford the basics for teachers. Get rid of all the lofty positions in these central offices and then there might be money for teacher supplies.

Sidney Crosby is ready to take another step toward making his second return to the ice this season.
Pittsburgh Penguins head coach Dan Bylsma used the team's twitter account to announce that Crosby will be travelling with the team for their current road trip.
"Sidney Crosby will join team tonight in Wash and will skate on his own during trip. No timetable for return," said Bylsma on @pghpenguins Wednesday.
Crosby attended Wednesday's game at the Verizon Center to watch his teammates take on the Washington Capitals.
Crosby missed nearly 11 months of action because of a concussion before returning in November.
In his season debut, Crosby the Penguins captain recorded a four-point night in a win over the New York Islanders. But his return only lasted eight games before he was sidelined again after a game against the Boston Bruins.
"Sidney took a hard hit during our game against Boston Monday night and wasn't feeling 100 per cent," said Penguins general manager Ray Shero after it was announced Crosby would be held out of the lineup in early December.
