Royal Wedding Diary
News and views on the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton
from The Great Debate UK:
Royal wedding feelgood factor overrides feminist impulses
Sarah Gristwood is one of the authors of The Ring and the Crown: A History of Royal Weddings 1066-2011 (Hutchison) by Alison Weir, Kate Williams, Sarah Gristwood and Tracy Borman. The opinions expressed are her own. Thomson Reuters will host a follow-the-sun live blog on March 8, 2011, the 100th anniversary of International Women's Day.
More than a hundred years ago the great Victorian Walter Bagehot claimed that the women of Britain cared more about the marriage of a Prince of Wales than they did about a ministry.
Looking at the frenzied curiosity regarding the April 29, 2011, wedding date of Britain's Prince William and Kate Middleton, there's not much doubt that his lament still rings true. One question, of course, is whether it is only the women – and why the advent of feminism hasn't damped our hunger to any real degree.
Another is to what degree our interest has been consciously fostered, by a monarchy anxious to ensure it is still welcome in the 21st century. But the third and largest must be whether there's anything new under the sun, in the world of royal wedding festivities.

Amy's hosting a quilt festival again…Check out the fabulous entries here!
No surprise this is one of my favorite quilts. Both of my boys quilts are my favorite. This one was made for my second son Ryan with leftover fabric from his older brother's quilt. I wanted something similar to Ben's quilt since they were going to share a room, but nothing too matchy matchy. After I decided on circles, the pattern came together in my head and lucky for me went together smoothly. This is the only rag edge quilt I've ever done, I'm not a fan of rag quilts but I love the way the circles pop against the square backgrounds. This quilt makes me happy, which is exactly the point of making it. :) The free pattern for this quilt is here.

Livingstone begins budget cuts after federal student aid drops
SALISBURY — Livingstone College is tightening its budget and looking at layoffs as drops in federal aid bring down enrollment.
In a March 8 letter to faculty and staff, President Dr. Jimmy Jenkins said the college will be making "budget adjustments" because of changes in federal standards for certain student and parent loans.
According to the letter, the college has started to identify positions to be eliminated or the number of personnel reduced. In addition, Livingstone has already instituted freezes on hiring, salary increases and unrestricted spending.
"We will continue to do our best to manage the budget in ways that will advance the college's ongoing goals and objectives, while strengthening the institution to serve our valuable assets, the employees and our students," Jenkins wrote.
Reached by phone Thursday, Jenkins said the college isn't moving forward with layoffs yet. He said Livingstone is looking at budget reductions that could come from several different expense areas.
"The U.S. Department of Education changed the rules on its PLUS loan program, which rendered many students who were eligible in the past ineligible," Jenkins said.
According to the U.S. Department of Education, PLUS loans are federal loans that graduate or professional degree students, as well as parents of undergraduate students, can use to help pay education expenses. They can be used to supplement federal Stafford loans, which are capped at $5,500 to $7,500 per year.
Stricter standards on these loans have doubled the number of borrowers rejected after a credit check, the Associated Press has reported. Jenkins said this change is affecting colleges and universities all over the country, and it disproportionately impacts historically black colleges like Livingstone because their students are more likely to be eligible for aid.
Between 2006 and 2009, Livingstone's student enrollment rose steadily from 899 to 1,080 students, according to numbers provided by college officials.
That number grew to 1,152 in 2010 before dropping to 1,137 in the fall of 2011, when the PLUS loan standards were changed. Enrollment dropped again in the fall of 2012 to 1,106 students.
Jenkins said Livingstone is looking at other avenues of fundraising and ways to reduce spending that won't impact personnel.
"We'll keep evaluating our cash flow and budget situation on a daily basis," he said. "As we move forward with the budget, we'll try to find other ways to minimize the loss of those federal dollars. Clearly, we have to put everything on the table."

Rape is a really touchy subject for me and after my experience, just hearing the word makes me cringe and the memories all come back. I was staying at my cousins house as we'd gotten closer over the year or so that we'd gotten back in touch, and her boyfriend suggested she and I have a couple of drinks and he wouldn't so he could look after their children. I didn't see anything bad about this choice and as I'm a typical 16 year old, I jumped at the chance to have a drink. Towards the end of the 'night' I was so drunk I was virtually crawling on the floor because I was so drunk, and my cousin went upstairs to be sick. 'He' went upstairs to put her to bed and then came back downstairs. I was laying on the sofa watching tv (I was wearing appropriate clothes btw so nothing suggestive!) and he started rubbing my lady parts which made me uncomfortable. I pushed his hand away but he kept doing it. Then he pulled my leggings and underwear down, sat on top of me, restrained my arms and ruined my life. I was slow at understanding what was happening and my head kept spinning, but when I realised I said 'No' constantly and was crying... The next morning I went back home and he tried to kiss me which made me feel utterly sick! It's completely ruined me; I don't go out apart from school and when I do I'm jumpy, I squirm when people come near me and I'm constantly looking behind me. I've never been confident but this completely shattered my confidence and I feel so worthless and used. So basically, rape is a horrible thing and ruins lives! I will never forget the moment I opened my eyes and saw him on top of me. I see it every time I close my eyes.Reply

The Monterey Regional Water Authority has agreed to hire an expert consultant to compare three desalination plant proposals, and will consider asking project proponents to pay the cost of the contract.
Meanwhile, the authority board has been invited to participate in a meeting next week aimed at establishing a two-week truce between the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District and opponents of a controversial district-backed user fee.
At its meeting Thursday, the authority board approved a request for proposals to be sent out to consulting firms with expertise in water projects and financing.
"The RFP is a big step in the right direction," board President Chuck Della Sala said.
He said the board discussed asking proponents of the three major desal proposals — including California American Water, Nader Agha of the People's Project and Brett Constantz of DeepWater Desal — to pay the estimated $50,000 to $75,000 cost of the consulting contract. Della Sala noted that Agha offered to pay a third of the cost of the contract, although that was when the estimate was at $40,000.
Della Sala said asking proponents to pay for a consultant is like requiring developers to pay the cost of an environmental impact report. The proponents would have no say in what consulting firm is hired, he said.
If the board decides not to ask the proponents, or they decline, the cost would likely be split among the authority's six cities, Della Sala said.
That will be the case, he said, as long as the county Board of Supervisors continues to decline participation in the authority. The authority sent a letter to the supervisors months ago inviting participation, but has yet to hear back, Della Sala said. The county represents about a third of all water users on the Peninsula.
As part of its approval, the board directed the authority's technical advisory committee — which is charged with vetting the proposals and recommended hiring the consultant — to move up the hiring process so a consulting firm could be in place by July 16.
The board signaled it wants the consultant to provide a preliminary analysis to an authority subcommittee, which would consider whether any of the proposals face constraints that would hinder them from providing water by the Jan. 1, 2017, state-imposed deadline for a cutback in pumping from the Carmel River.
While the authority proceeds with its independent analysis, the water management district will hold off on conducting its own study of the desal proposals, said general manager David Stoldt. The district's water supply committee considered a request from the public outreach committee to conduct a study earlier this month but decided to wait and see what the authority decided to do.
Also Thursday, Della Sala read a letter from water management district board members Jeanne Byrne and Bob Brower that said the district is pursuing a recent offer from the Monterey County Association of Realtors to work together on current and future water projects, and on funding for them.
The association has led the opposition to the district's proposed water user fee.
In the letter, Byrne and Brower invited the authority to send representatives to a water supply planning committee meeting Tuesday, when a two-week "truce" will be proposed between the district and the association while they conduct "leadership meetings."
The water district board was scheduled to conduct a special meeting later that day, at 4:30 p.m. at the district's Ryan Ranch headquarters, to consider a final count of the thousands of protests filed against the proposed user fee. The board's agenda calls for adopting the user fee if the number of valid protests falls short of the 15,000-plus required to block the charge.

Marcus Burghardt of the BMC Racing Team has withdrawn from the Amgen Tour of California due to an injury suffered in a crash in the feed zone of Stage 6 Friday. Burghardt and teammate Chris Butler went down, with the German injuring his right elbow.
Possible little fracture
"Already in the race, I felt that I couldn't bend it," Burghardt said. "I couldn't pull on the bars." After finishing the 217 km race from Palmdale to Big Bear Lake, he was taken to a local hospital. "It's possible he has a little fracture of the radius," said Dr. Max Testa, BMC Racing Team physician. "We need to repeat the X-ray in a couple days to see. But if it is a fracture, it is a small fracture – most likely in an area that doesn't require anything but rest."
Further examination
Burghardt will fly today to Salt Lake City, where he will undergo additional examination, Testa said. "For sure, it's not the perfect moment to have a possible break because my form is going well," Burghardt said. "But I hope that I can race in two weeks at Gippingen and for sure at the Tour de Suisse."

DSM Nutritional Products and Monsanto to partner
DSM Nutritional Products and Monsanto Company announced a strategic partnership to deliver the first SDA (stearidonate soybean oil) omega-3 soybean oil for use in foods in North America.
DSM Nutritional Products, the leading global provider of trusted nutritional lipids solutions with the most complete product portfolio (plant, algal and fish) addressing the full spectrum of consumer health benefits will license the SDA soybean from Monsanto, the global expert in plant technology. Monsanto will develop SDA soybean varieties and sell the seeds to its farmer customers. DSM Nutritional Products will have the exclusive global rights to brand, market, package and sell the SDA soybean oil to the food industry. Terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
"The addition of SDA soybean oil to our growing nutritional lipids portfolio underscores our commitment to delivering high-quality nutritional products that help to support human health," said Will Black, DSM vice president of marketing human nutrition and health. "We look forward to bringing SDA soybean oil to the industry and working with food manufacturers to deliver innovative products that support heart health to their consumers."
SDA omega-3 soybean oil is a plant-based source of SDA, which naturally converts in the body to EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) omega-3 – one of two main omega-3s that has been clinically shown to promote heart health. This pipeline product would be the first vegetarian SDA derived from soybeans for use in food and beverage products in North America. SDA soybean oil has a clean flavor, maintains shelf life, is stable and can be incorporated into a variety of foods, including dressings, sauces, margarines, spreads, bakery products, soups, snack bars and dairy-based products, among several other food applications. SDA soybean oil could not only provide food and beverage manufacturers and consumers an additional choice to access heart healthy omega-3, but would also represent an additional, sustainable supply of omega-3.
"SDA omega-3 soybean oil would provide a sustainable way for consumers to increase their intake of omega-3 fatty acids that help maintain heart health," said Federico Tripodi, Monsanto SDA program director. "Food companies are looking for solutions to deliver the benefits of longer chain omega-3s while maintaining flavor over the shelf life of the product. We are excited about the progress we have made with the product and look forward to working with DSM to bring this sustainable plant-based alternative to market."
FDA issued a positive response letter to Monsanto's Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) notification for the oil from these soybeans. The completion of the FDA consultation process supports the use of oil from SDA soybeans under the intended conditions of use, which enable food companies to develop and evaluate foods that contain this nutritionally improved oil. Monsanto has completed the key regulatory processes in the United States, Canada and Mexico and has also made submissions for import approval in key export markets.

OH MY GOSH!!! More genetically modified CRAP!! Enough already!
Really? When I show this information to my friends, the first thing they're going to do is tell all THEIR friends, and we will try and Stop this! Do you think we citizens are that naive that we're just going to roll over and let you Genetically Modify yet Another ingredient? And partnering with Monsanto?! Give it up! Oh, yeah, that's right, you have one of the Biggest investors backing you! Oh, we'll, we simply WON'T buy your product! It's like the big Tobacco companies of the 30's and 40's who KNEW Nicotine was a killer, yet they put it in anyway! The people here will put a stop to this!
OMG, OMG, People are just getting the message about GMO's and now they will think they are getting something healthy. Oh Well, this is going to be a LONG fight, but fight we WILL.
Hemp has the perfect mix of omega 3, 6, and 9 and is a perfect food. To hell with this I am going to buy only raw milk, no processed foods, and only eat organic foods but I guess we will all have to grow our own if it keeps up!
This is horrifying! NO GMO...NO MONSANTO
I won't buy from any source-even organic-that uses or supports no labeling of Gmo in food products.
You're dreaming. I'm already boycotting Natural Horizons because of their affiliations. Those of us educated in real health and science are not as easily brainwashed as most of the Californians who voted no on 37. Take your GMO soybeans and toxic products elsewhere, I've seen the deformed babies born to farm laborers in South America working in the genetically modified soybean fields. Shame on you!
That comment ll, is one of the funnies things I have read. Thanks for the laugh. Deformed babies in SA from working in the fields?! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Are you kidding me? Another company to make sure to boycott.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (November 4, 2010)—Trainer David Hofmans, who has won two of the first four renewals of the $100,000 Sharp Cat Stakes, will try for another Sunday at Hollywood Park.
Hofmans, who won the inaugural Sharp Cat with Balance, a half-sister to Zenyatta, in 2005 and repeated with Runway Rosie the following year, will send out Teddy's Promise against five opponents.
An ungraded affair for 2-year-old fillies at 1 1/16 miles over Cushion Track and a prep for the $250,000-guaranteed Hollywood Starlet Dec. 11, the Sharp Cat returns to the Autumn meet stakes schedule after a one year hiatus.
Owned by breeders Ted and Judy Nichols, Teddy's Promise, a California bred daughter of Salt Lake and the Capote mare Braids and Beads, was dominant against maidens in her third start Oct. 17.
After finishing second and 10th in her first two races, Teddy's Promise won by 7 ¾ lengths as the 11-10 favorite during the Oak Tree/Hollywood Park season.
The win came at 6 ½ furlongs, so the Sharp Cat will be her first venture around two turns. She has earned $31,400.
Big Tiz, a Tiznow filly out of the Carson City mare Squall City, is the only member of the field with a win at the Sharp Cat distance. She defeated maidens by a head Oct. 10.
Owned by Allen and Susan Branch and Cory Wagner and trained by Mark Glatt, Big Tiz has started four times, earning $35,860.
The lone stakes winner in the lineup is True Way of Grace. The daughter of Yes It's True and the Giant's Causeway mare Evil's Causeway won the Barretts Debutante Sept. 18 at Fairplex Park.
The half-length victory was her first in her third outing. Subsequently, True Way of Grace finished fifth of seven in the Oak Leaf Stakes, a Grade I, Oct. 3. She's banked $62,400 for owner Peter O. Johnson and trainer Alexis Barba.
Second and third with Toro Bonito and Ten Churros when the Sharp Cat was last run in 2008, Bob Baffert will be represented Sunday by May Day Rose.
Owned by Kaleem Shah, the Rockport Harbor filly out of the Pine Bluff mare May Day Bluff won once in two starts at Del Mar, but has yet to travel beyond 5 ½ furlongs. Her bankroll is $40,000.
Darling Ciana is the lone participant that has multiple wins. The Lion Heart filly out of the Afternoon Deelites mare has won two of three for trainer Art Sherman, who also co-owns the Kentucky bred with Phil Banetti.
