Microsoft Corp. co-founder Bill Gates is No. 2 — behind Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim — in the debut of a new index that ranks the world's billionaires.
The Bloomberg Billionaires Index is a new daily ranking of the world's 20 wealthiest individuals. Microsoft's Gates, according to the index, is worth $62.4 billion, down $102.1 million from March 2 and up 11 percent year to date. Slim's net worth fell $478.4 million to $68.5 billion as of the close of markets on March 2. Warren Buffett is No. 3 on the new index, with a net worth of $43.8 billion.
In 2010, telecommunications tycoon Slim knocked Gates off the top of the long-running Forbes billionaire list. But as TechFlash reported before last year's Forbes list came out, Gates would have remained on top if he had not given so much money away through his Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

And we've actually liked her solo stuff more than No Doubt. So, we're hoping that her album sounds more unique. We need more songs like "What Are You Waiting For" and "Wind It Up," ya know? Mind you, we don't think she should just try to re-create those songs. That's not what we're saying. We simply want her to go to that wildly imaginative place she went to when she wrote her two solo albums. Those were so original, bursting with contagious creativity along with their magnificent hooks. The bottom line? Anybody could have come up with a song like this. It's not terrible, but it's no tube of wonderful either. Listen to it today and chances are you'll have forgotten all about it by tomorrow.]]> 0 Paris365 http://www.loveispop.com http://www.loveispop.com/?p=10516 2014-10-21T18:53:29Z 2014-10-21T18:53:29Z This one took us a few listens to get into. Our intern, Gas Monkey, still isn't sure if he likes it. In any case, it's one of those abstract remixes that you wind up either loving or hating. During the first minute of it, it's mostly ambient humming and odd sounds along with faint vocal samples, but around the one minute mark the "Hey Mami" vocals kick in and sound wonderful. From that point we were in love with it. It doesn't wind up using the vocals from the entire song, or at least they're all spliced and diced, and we would have liked it even more if it had used all of the verses and choruses from that point on instead of getting bizarre again but it's quite the grower. Give it a couple of listens. And we'd love to know what you think. ]]> 0 Paris365 http://www.loveispop.com http://www.loveispop.com/?p=10511 2014-10-21T18:23:56Z 2014-10-21T18:23:22Z Continue Reading]]> 0 Paris365 http://www.loveispop.com http://www.loveispop.com/?p=10509 2014-10-21T13:45:41Z 2014-10-21T13:45:41Z We've loved Oh Land since the first time we heard her very artsy debut album, Fauna. Her following album, which was self-titled, was even better, the songs catchier and more accessible. Now she's back with "Head Up High," the first single from her third album, entitled Earth Sick, and she's managed to concoct an even tastier treat. ]]> 0 Paris365 http://www.loveispop.com http://www.loveispop.com/?p=10503 2014-10-20T15:00:50Z 2014-10-20T14:58:39Z File this one under brilliant.

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Over the hill? That's what she said
Did Tory MP Shelly Glover really suggest that Liberal MP Anita Neville should be defeated because she's too old? Glover said in a television interview Monday that Neville was "past her expiry date." Liberals, some voters and seniors' organizations criticized her making an "ageist" remark. For the past 24 hours, she's steadfastly refused to apologize, suggesting that she was not taking issue with Neville's age, only her lack of fresh ideas.
So, Does Glover really think Neville is over the hill? She denied it, but all evidence suggests that's exactly what she is thinking. In fact, it is one of the reasons why Conservatives in Manitoba are so frustrated about not being able to capture Neville's Winnipeg South Centre riding. Many Tories have confided that they simply do not understand how Neville, who is 68 and somewhat mobility challenged, can hold on to a seat when Liberal support in Winnipeg has dropped so profoundly. In this hyper-partisan world, it's not unusual for operatives from one party to look for any reason to disparage candidates from other parties. In Neville's case, age is the number one issue that Tories raise when they start talking her down.
Related Items
Is Neville's age a relevant concern? Neville has not been the most dynamic personality in Manitoba's federal political scene. When the Liberals were in power, she was not at that time a leading candidate to be promoted to cabinet. She is, however, a diligent constituency politician with a broad network and a solid profile throughout her riding. She is good at retail politics, providing constituents with more than enough reason to re-elect her as representative for the riding.
The surprise in this story is not that Glover and many Conservatives think Neville is over the hill. It's the fact that she would say it out loud. However, in her short time in federal politics, Glover has shown herself to be a somewhat loose-lipped commodity. She is caustic, which can be an asset for politicians, and has no problem turning things personal, which is perhaps not as much of an asset as people like Glover think it is. In many ways, I have always thought she is a younger, female version of Manitoba's regional minister, Public Safety Minister Vic Toews, who is as tough and caustic as they come.
So while Glover may not apologize for suggesting Neville was too old, there should be little doubt that she meant to suggest Neville was too old. As a campaign strategy, it's a loser with a capital 'L.' The Tories couldn't hold on to their candidate in Winnipeg South Centre. Winnipeg School Division trustee Joyce Batemen was expected to step into that vacancy, but has not yet been confirmed.
Apology or not, it was a dumb move to come anywhere near the issue of Neville's age. So perhaps before the campaign is over, Glover will consider apologizing. If not to Neville, then perhaps to the unfortunate soul who takes on the Winnipeg South Centre Tory nomination.

*Attracts humidity causing the surface of the salt crystal to become moist
*Creates a buildup of ions and removes moisture from your air
*Binds excessive positive ions with their negative ions
*Helps to neutralize the "electro-smog" in your air and reduces allergens and irritants
*Creates potential soothing effects for you from multi-colored salt crystals

ChocXO uses fine flavor cacao beans from Central and South America, not bulk Forastero beans. Believing in the quality of the bean above all else. They use organic+fair trade chocolate as well as coffee beans. They process them using the latest technology and highest quality raw materials. We had some of their tasty treats last week and they are delicious! They also serve coffees, mochas and more!
They are newly opened, just around the corner from Brio. Next time you are in the area, it is worth taking a peak behind Ironwood, and discovering some sweet treats, and perhaps an organic cup of coffee. Which by the way would be considered a healthy beverage!
For the holiday season, Chocxo would be a welcomed gift!

Happy Healthy Tummy Tips
October 7th, 2014
Happy Healthy Tummy Tips for this Thanksgiving
Dr.Dhiman has some great tips for keeping your tummy happy and healthy for the Thanksgiving meal ahead of us.
1. Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) - a distressed stomach's best friend. One to two teaspoons in 1/2 a glass of water 15 minutes prior to meals. ACV will aid in digestion, decrease gastric reflux, decrease bloating and abdominal pain. Use as needed
2. Try to avoid Antacids - we have been programmed to think that symptoms of acid reflux is a result of too much stomach acid production, however, in our clinical observation, the problem is usually too little stomach acid production. Stomach acid production can decrease when the body is stressed. Overeating can absolutely be a stressor to the body. Again, ACV will normalize stomach acid levels.
3. Peppermint Tea - Peppermint (Mentha piperita) can calm a distressed tummy almost immediately. This can rid the body of symptoms of dyspepsia. If peppermint tea does not quite do the trick, Peppermint Oil Capsules are an excellent supplement as needed.
4. Fennel Seeds (Foeniculum vulgare) - Have you ever noticed at the end of a delicious Greek meal, you will often get a tiny bowl of fennel seed candy? This is not a random offering as fennel can ease abdominal pain, gas and bloating almost immediately. Simply chew on a small amount and swallow. The seeds can also be boiled in water to drink as a tea.
5. Try to avoid beverages with meals - Have you also noticed at most Asian restaurants you will not receive ice water with your meal unless it is requested? You will however, receive small cups of warm tea. Small amounts of warm tea aid digestion. Ice cold drinks place stress on the digestive system, dilute digestive enzymes and stomach acid levels. For optimal digestion, try to limit beverages to half an hour before or after meals. If you have a dog at home, watch how he/she has meals. Foods and liquids are always separate. This principle follows the laws of nature.

Dr.Lee's Europe Bound this September
September 6th, 2014
In September, my wife and I will be traveling to Europe for a 3-week vacation to celebrate our 10-year wedding anniversary. We have been planning for this trip for several years and I can't believe we are only a few days away! My patients have been truly excited for me, offering information, personal travel tips and links to useful websites. Others have asked: "What do you do (health-wise) to prepare for an extended vacation?" I thought I'd share my answers in this blog.
First off, the most important thing is to have a consistent sleep routine. It is very tempting to stay up late to research all the exciting places that we will be visiting, but I have kept a strict bedtime. My body and mind work the best when I get about 7.5 hours of sleep. I cannot emphasize enough how important sleep is in the regulation of our immune and nervous systems and in the repairing of our bodies.
I recently watched an excellent documentary on CBC's Nature of Things on the topic of sleep. In this episode, David Suzuki examines the importance of sleep and, more specifically, how artificial light affects our quality of sleep. The documentary is called Light's Out, and you can find it through this link: (http://www.cbc.ca/player/Shows/Shows/The+Nature+of+Things/ID/2313199682/)
Boosting the Immune System
Traveling can put stress on the body and can expose you to pathogens from all around the world. As many of my patients know, I talk about the herb Astragalus all the time, especially around the fall season. Astragalus is an immune modulating herb that can strengthen a deficient immune system and regulate an overactive immune system. In preparation for my trip, I have been taking the formula Jade Windscreen on a regular basis. I will also be bringing this along on my travels. I have written several blogs in the past about this great herb. (link)
Probiotics, etc.
I love eating local foods when I travel. One of the ways I protect my digestive tract is by taking a high-quality probiotic (Pro = good, biotic = bacteria). Probiotics are healthy bacteria naturally found in our digestive systems. Healthy bacteria can protect you from traveler's diarrhea and strengthen the immune system. My favourite probiotic for travel is HMF Intensive. I simply take 1 capsule a day and it comes in a convenient blister pack. I also take Phytogreens, a supplement that combines a variety of green vegetables (spinach, wheat grass, broccoli, etc.) with spirulina and chlorella. It is packed full of nutrients and enzymes.
Recently, I have been growing my own microgreens and sprouts, incorporating more of them into my diet. Microgreens are baby plants and have a high concentration of vitamins, minerals and enzymes. They also taste great! I'll share more about microgreens in a future blog.
Bon voyage, Dr.Lee!
Please note: Dr.Lee will return to the office on Tuesday October 7th. Do not hesitate to contact the office for product refills, or appointments can be booked with Dr.Matsushita.

Recover from Stress this Summer
August 1st, 2014
For many of us, summer continues to be a busy time of "things to do" and although this to-do list may involve activities in the sun, they can build up stress and deplete our energy reserves just the same.
What about a holiday?
Where to go? How do we get there? How much time do we have? What's our budget? What will I wear?! Will we have time to relax? If you're like me, just planning a holiday can be stressful. Even if we go on holiday, we often return drained. So how do we reduce stress and build up our energy reserves? While we're at home and on vacation?
Meditation and acupuncture are good options for switching the body to that relaxed (parasympathetic) state where our repair-and-recover systems kick-in. But enjoying coffee or dark chocolate are also great options for, what I like to call, soul-nourishing moments.
Steps for a Soul-Nourishing Moment with Coffee:
1. Pour hot coffee into your favourite mug and sit in a peaceful spot in your home – by the bay window, on the patio, etc.
2. Hold your warm mug with both hands and take a deep breath into your belly taking in the roasted aroma.
3. After some slow sips of coffee, lower the mug, let out a sigh or 'aaah' and notice the warmth of the coffee as it moves down your throat and to your belly. You may close your eyes or allow them to soften their focus.
In 10 seconds (and only two sips of coffee), stress hormone production decreases. This, in turn, improves stress tolerance, mood, energy, sleep, sex hormone balance, blood glucose levels and blood pressure.
Of course, this doesn't have to be done with coffee. Bringing your focus to observing your body in the present moment makes a daily habit into a soul-nourishing moment. For your adrenal glands (stress tolerance organs) and nervous system, a soul-nourishing moment is like a rejuvenating trip to the spa.
If you've been 'running on fumes' or experiencing major stress recently, you're adrenal glands and nervous system have been working on overdrive. Replenishing essential nutrients with adrenal support or B vitamin injections also help to improve stress tolerance and energy.
If you are traveling this summer, include soul-nourishing moments into your daily plans. I think you'll find those moments will be the best memories of your vacation.
Whether you're vacationing in Bora Bora or at home this summer, take advantage of daily soul-nourishing moments to reduce stress, optimize health and enjoy summer.

Dr. Neetu's Perspective on how to treat Summer Pains and Strains!
July 9th, 2014
After a long hard winter, Summer has absolutely arrived in Vancouver. It always amazes me how simply one day of Sun in Vancouver can vanish every trace memories of cold and rain from the season prior.
It also amazes me how absolutely gorgeous BC is. A simple drive home is just stunning!
Along with summer and sun in the lower mainland, comes and increase in activities. There are many things to satisfy the outdoor craving, just a few examples include: bike rides, walks, swimming, soccer, and golfing and gardening are big ones.
With this new found energy the sun provides, to allow for these activities, sometimes the body is not adequately prepared. And during the summer months, at Brio we quite often see Golfing and/or Gardening pains and strains.
- require bending resulting in lower back strain
- they may result in dominant use of one side of the body more so than the other, creating an imbalance in the upper and lower back, and also the hamstrings
- can result in shoulder pain
- twisting and hip pain
- golfers elbow or repetitive strain on the wrists/forearms from twisting and pulling in the garden
- headaches and disrupted sleep
Issues generally arise if both sides of the body are imbalanced. They can also arise if the hips are imbalanced. Issues can also arise if muscles are stronger on one side of the body versus the other.
The Bowen Technique is a simple, fast, non-invasive way to quickly treat any or all of these issues and get you back onto the putting green or back into the garden.
The Bowen Technique involves gentle movements over the muscles of the body, stimulating the relaxation of the entire nervous system.
When the nervous system is relaxed the body can then re-set, re-balance and correct any pains or strains.
The majority of the time we are stressed during the day and even stressed when we sleep due to the pain.
The 60 minute Bowen session, is designed to break the pain cycle and allow the body to finally relax.
The body can only heal and detoxify in a relaxed state.
Many other treatments may focus solely on the painful part of the body. If the shoulder is painful; the shoulder is treated.
However, with the Bowen Technique, if the shoulder is painful, the goal is to treat the entire body, and relax the nervous system, break the pain cycle, and the body will naturally reverse the shoulder issue. The whole body must be treated in every patient case.
Painkillers may offer temporary relief, to mask the pain, however, the pain cycle and nervous system are not treated. They both must be treated to have a reversal of symptoms and become pain free.
Don't be surprised if an emotion or two is also released. Pain in the body can often be the result of stored emotional pain.
This is an amazingly effective yet simple little technique, call Kyra for more information, and click on our Bowen Therapy link for more info. If you're in pain, there really is no need to suffer or miss out on your favorite activities.
Dr. Neetu is a Certified Advanced Bowen Therapist since 2002; She has also taken the advanced training and was one of the first advanced Bowen Therapist in the Lower Mainland.
Her instructor Manon Bolliger was responsible for bringing the Bowen Technique to Canada.
The Bowen Technique originated in Austrailia.

Viviane Reding, the European Commissioner for Justice, who had strongly considered taking France to court over its expulsion this year of thousands of Roma migrants, has dropped the idea.
Reding told euronews: "The Roma dossier will be sorted out in France from the time the serious proposals that the French government has submitted to us are applied to French law."
Human rights groups, the Catholic Church and the United Nations have said France's policy of expelling some 8,000 people from Europe's largest ethnic minority to Romania and Bulgaria this year was discriminatory.
The European Commission had accused France of failing to include EU rules on migrants in its own laws. Paris said last week a new immigration package would address the Commission's criticism.
French authorities, however, have defended the expulsions, saying they were legal and necessary for public order.

Mac experience
At request from my friends from ROSA Labs , I was using a mac os x-based machine this week, to get a feeling on how it works, feels and looks like. As I had never used a mac before, it was certainly a nice experience, and I think I managed to extract the feeling of what is fundamentally different between a Mac and PC-based approaches.
So, after using a Linux-based OS exclusively for my Desktop for the past 10 years or so (except the time at Microsoft where I was using a pre-released version of Vista during the work hours), I finally was able to get a hold of a MacBook Air. One thing I can say that most of the mac advertizements are true – the hardware really looks amazing and "cool". As for the software, well, let's go step-by-step in this evaluation.
The fest thesis I want to emphasize is that the fundamental change between the Mac and Linux Desktop approaches is that Mac does everything to force you to understand and bend to the system default settings and the way it works, and Linux is completely aimed at making the system easy to customize and adapt to you.

M'sian woman mum after sneaking into S'pore
Publication Date : 23-01-2014
The Malaysian woman who drove through the Malaysian and Singapore checkpoints and later crashed through a security barrier at the island republic's Ministry of Foreign Affairs here has yet to utter a word about the incident.
Officials from the Malaysian High Commission in Singapore are trying to arrange for the parents of the 28-year-old woman to come from Kedah state in north peninsula Malaysia to speak to their daughter to find out what her problem was.
Deputy Malaysian High Commissioner Kamsiah Kamaruddin said the officials had tried their best to speak to the woman, but to no avail. "We also tried to get her to speak to her parents via phone, but she did not respond to that either.
"She just clams up and refuses to speak to anyone. So, we thought that she will speak up if she meets her parents," she said when contacted.
Kamsiah said the Singapore authorities were trying to find out how she managed to bypass both checkpoints on January 17 and why she did it. "She is now being monitored at the Tan Tock Seng Hospital," she said.
The woman, who is a divorcee and a teacher in Cheras, caused alarm in Singapore after she drove through the checkpoints in Johor Baru and Woodlands at around 1:50pm.
She managed to evade the authorities for three days and was arrested when she rammed her car into the security barrier at the ministry on Monday.
Kamsiah said the immigration authorities from the two countries were working to determine how the woman managed to get away with what she did without a passport or identification documents. "The authorities did not find any documents when they arrested her, and we only managed to get her details after conducting an image search via the national registration department," she said.
Meanwhile, it is learnt that security at both the checkpoints had been tightened following the incident, resulting in an increase in traffic congestion at the border.
Johor Immigration Department director Rohaizi Bahari said he and his officers were carrying out a probe on the matter and declined to comment further.

Thailand House of Reps seeks to block funds for terrorists
Publication Date : 18-10-2012
A House of Representatives committee yesterday put forward a draft bill on blocking financial support to terrorists in order to give the Thai government a tough legal instrument to counter terrorism in the country, an official said.
The committee explained that the bill had been proposed because even though Thailand has an anti-terrorism law as part of the Penal Code as well as anti-money laundering laws, it did not have any instruments to prevent funds from getting to terrorists.
If this law is passed, the authorities will have the power to block financial transactions involving terrorists or suspected terrorists who are included in the United Nations blacklist.
Those who are found to have any connections with terrorists or providing financial support to terrorists will face a maximum penalty of three years in prison and/or a maximum fine of 300,000 baht (US$9,800), a draft of the bill obtained by the The Nation showed.
Those who control property found to be connected with providing funds for terrorists will be fined up to 1 million baht as well as charged 10,000 baht per day until such time that the monetary transactions are brought to an end.
In addition, people who know, used to know or have done business with people listed as terrorists by the UN have the obligation to report to concerned authorities. If they fail to do so, they can be fined up to 500,000 and 5,000 baht per day if they continue to maintain contacts with terrorists.
Those who accept property, money or make arrangements for monetary transactions to support terrorists or organisations they know are connected with terrorism activities will face between two and 10 years in prison and/or be fined between 40,000 baht and 200,000 baht.
Legal entities such as companies or foundations that are found committing wrongdoings under this law could be fined between 500,000 baht and 2 million baht. Managers or personnel of such entities found to be directly involved in monetary transactions or any other related wrongdoing could face two to 10 years in prison and/or be fined 40,000 baht to 200,000 baht.
It is still not clear when the bill will be discussed in the House or how long it would take for the law to be passed.

AT&T's iPhone unlock process accomplished through Apple's iTunesAT&T has begun allowing out-of-contract customers to unlock their iPhone for use on other carriers, and the unlock codes are applied to the device after restoring through iTunes.
AT&T began offering eligible customers the ability to unlock their iPhone on Sunday. Customers who were among the first to take advantage told AppleInsider that after dialing 611 to speak with a customer service representative, they were met with a lengthy wait to speak with a technician.
Once that AT&T representative was on the phone, they asked a series of qualifying questions to ensure that the user was eligible for their iPhone to be unlocked.
The unlock process is detailed by AT&T in a PDF document shared by users who request the service. In it, the carrier offers a series of four steps that must be accomplished in order to complete the unlock.
The unlock code actually comes through Apple and is administered through iTunes. AT&T's instructions tell users to open iTunes on their Mac or PC, connect their iPhone via USB, and backup and restore their handset. Restoring the iPhone will unlock it for use on other carriers.
AT&T's instructions also include a link to a support document available on Apple's website. There, users are instructed to reseat the SIM card in their iPhone, restore their handset, or contact their carrier if they experience issues with unlocking via iTunes.
If the authorized unlock is completed successfully, users are met with the message: "Unlock Complete. Congratulations, your iPhone has been unlocked. To set up and sync this iPhone, click Continue."

Two men were arrested during a burglary in Maplewood recently after one of them accidentally "Pocket-Dialed" 911 and left the line open as the pair discussed the crime. The 911 dispatcher reportedly got a call and hang-up, then another call that stayed open, and then overheard a conversation about where police were. The calls were made using the phone's emergency-call feature, and the dispatcher saw the location was a car-repair shop. Officers arrived to see two men leaving the building wearing dark clothing. One carried a television, the other a box. The men dropped the objects and ran, but were caught by police dogs. Thirty-two-year-old Todd Weiss of Minnetonka and 38-year-old Justin Evans of Savage are charged with third-degree burglary.

Key China think-tank sees 8 percent GDP growth in Q1
SHANGHAI (Reuters) - China's gross domestic product will grow at annualised rate of about 8 percent in the first quarter of 2013 while the consumer price index will rise around a yearly 2.6 percent, the China Securities News said, quoting the State Information Centre (SIC), a leading government think tank.
Fixed asset investment will grow 21 percent during the quarter, a similar rate as the same period last year, it said.
After seven straight quarters of slowdown, growth picked up in the fourth quarter last year but 2012 still marked the slowest year of growth for China since 1999.
China's economic growth is likely to rebound to 8.1 percent in 2013 from 7.8 percent last year, a Reuters poll showed in late January.
January's consumer inflation fell to 2.0 percent from December's seven-month high of 2.5 percent, suggesting price pressures are subdued for now.
Economists expect inflation to pick up steam through the first quarter, though likely staying below 3.5 percent in 2013, a level they think the government will soon announce as its target.

Will Corbett Survive to Indict More Legislators?
Pennsylvania bucks the nationwide tendency to elect more Democrats as state attorneys general. No Democrat has won the job since it became an elected position ...
Pennsylvania bucks the nationwide tendency to elect more Democrats as state attorneys general. No Democrat has won the job since it became an elected position in the commonwealth back in 1980. Sunday's Pittsburgh Post-Gazette story about this year's race doesn't make me think that will change.
Incumbent GOPer Tom Corbett has a fairly sizable money advantage over his Democratic challenger John Morganelli. More importantly, he's gotten a lot of attention for his "Bonusgate" investigation, which recently led to the indictment of a dozen people connected to the House Democratic caucus.
Morganelli complains that Corbett is guilty of selective prosecution. Once Pennsylvania's hundreds of thousands of newly registered Democratic voters realize this, he believes, they'll vote Corbett out of office.
I doubt it. Aside from lacking proof that Corbett has engaged in selective prosecution, I doubt many voters will be mad that the attorney general has been going after members and staff of the little-loved legislature.

Decline of Mom-and-Pop Families
Kids Left Behind as Parenthood Is Redefined
NEW YORK, OCT. 1, 2006 (Zenit) - Family structures and parenthood roles are being redefined without sufficient consideration for the needs of children. This is the warning of a report just published that describes worldwide trends in family law and reproductive technology.
"The Revolution in Parenthood: The Emerging Global Clash Between Adult Rights and Children's Needs" is published by the Commission on Parenthood's Future. The commission "is an independent, nonpartisan group of scholars and leaders," active in the area of the family, according to a press release on the Web site of the Institute for American Values. The New York-based institute is one of the organizations behind the commission.
The author of the report is Elizabeth Marquardt, a member of the commission and author of the book, "Between Two Worlds: The Inner Lives of Children of Divorce."
The report finds that worldwide trends in law and reproductive technologies are redefining parenthood in ways that put the interests of adults before the needs of children. "The two-person mother-father model of parenthood," it states, "is being changed to meet adults' rights to children rather than children's needs to know and be raised, whenever possible, by their mother and father."
The revolution in parenthood described in the publication comprises a variety of issues: high divorce rates; single-parent childbearing; the growing use of egg and sperm donors; support for same-sex marriage; and proposals to allow children conceived with the use of sperm and egg donors to have three legal parents.
A legal revolution
The report gives a number of examples of far-reaching legal changes in families, often introduced with a minimum of debate.
-- In Canada the law allowing same-sex marriage also included a provision that eliminated the term "natural parent" in federal law, replacing it with "legal parent." With that law, the locus of power in defining who a child's parents are shifts precipitously from civil society to the state, with the consequences as yet unknown.
-- In Spain, shortly after the legalization of same-sex marriage, the government changed the format of birth certificates for all children. In the future they will read "Progenitor A" and "Progenitor B," instead of "mother" and "father."
-- In India guidelines on assisted reproductive technology issued in June 2005 state that a child born through the use of donated sperm or eggs will not have any right to know the identity of the genetic parents.
Pressure for other, more radical, changes is also under way.
-- In New Zealand and Australia, law commissions have proposed allowing children conceived with use of sperm or egg donors to have three legal parents. The proposals fail to address what would happen if the three parents break up and feud over the child.
-- There is increasing support from influential legal commissions and legal scholars in Canada and the United States for the legalization of group marriage arrangements such as polygamy and polyamory, which involves intimate relationships of three or more people.
-- In Ireland a commission on human reproduction proposed that couples who commission a child through a surrogate mother should automatically be the legal parents of the child, leaving the woman who delivers the baby with no legal standing or protection should she change her mind.
France is one of the few countries resisting the rush to change family law. A parliamentary report on the family and the rights of children, issued last January, stated that "the desire for a child seems to have become a right to a child."
The French report also recommended not legalizing same-sex marriage. Among the reasons it gave was concern about the identity and development of children when the law creates a situation in which there are "two fathers, or two mothers -- which is biologically neither real nor plausible." The parliamentary report insisted on the need for a medical justification for assisted procreation, and that the ban on surrogacy should stand.
Adults first
In "Revolution in Parenthood" author Marquardt explains that the changes in parenthood and family structures are leading to clash between children's and parent's interests. "This redefinition," she warns, "increasingly emphasizes adults' rights to children rather than children's needs to know and be raised, whenever possible, by their mother and father."
"A good society protects the interests of its most vulnerable citizens, especially children," Marquardt's report contends. But the core institution of parenthood is being fundamentally redefined, often in a way that orients it primarily around adults' rights.
A common thread in many of the changes is an alleged "right to a ...

SAUK CENTRE, Minn. (KNSI) The Minnesota Department of Transportation says drivers can expect intermittent lane closures on possible delays on Highway 28 in northwestern Stearns County starting Monday.
A nine mile stretch of the highway is being resurfaced west of Sauk Centre between U.S. Highway 71 and the town of Westport.
The lane closures will occur from sunrise to sunset Mondays through Saturdays. Different segments of the highway will close each day, and flaggers will allow one-way, alternating traffic through the work zone.
The project is expected to be completed by June 7th.

Even as speculations on the release date of new flagship smartphones like Apple iPhone 6 and Samsung Galaxy S5 are doing the rounds, Best Buy has announced a special deal, where gadget lovers can save $50 (approximately ₹3138) on upgradation of their current phones.
The gold colored version of the new iPhone 5S is seen after Apple Inc's media event in Cupertino, California September 10, 2013.
According to an official statement by the electronics store, one just has to sign up to get a $50 Best Buy gift card, which can be used in purchasing mobile phones at Best Buy any time during 2014. Just register your mobile phone number, email address and add up to four more phone numbers on a family plan in-store or on BestBuy.com, between 2 and 15 February, to avail the deal.
"Any time before Dec. 31, 2014, purchase and activate a new mobile phone with the registered phone number and a two-year agreement on AT&T, Sprint or Verizon Wireless at any Best Buy or Best Buy Mobile store," said the statement.
Signing up for the gift card does not need any commitment. But the offer will expire if a phone is not purchased or activated before the end of the year.
The special offer should be applicable to smartphones like iPhone 6 and Galaxy S5, which are set to be launched this year, besides existing phones like Galaxy S4, HTC One, iPhone 5s and others.
It may be mentioned that the hype around the release of smartphones like Galaxy S5 and iPhone 6 has been rife for quite a while now. Reports suggested that the next-generation smartphone from Samsung would be launched in the first quarters of 2014, while Apple Inc. is expected to launch its new iPhone series in the month of June.
