Aylesbury North neighbourhood
Your neighbourhood
Local priorities
The following priorities have been identified by the community and the police:
- Watermead – Officers from the Aylesbury North Team have conducted a number of patrols in and around the lakes area, and within the estate. Happily, there are no instances of drugs related activity or anti social behaviour (ASB) to report. In fact, over the past 3 months there have been very few calls made to police and of note – no burglaries! Hopefully this will continue for the foreseeable future, but the team would encourage all residents to be vigilant in home and car security. We have had some theft from motor vehicles reported and it seems some cars are not being locked at night – don't make it easy for thieves to help themselves!
- Elmhurst – We have been working to deal with the problem of youths riding mini-motos across Alfred Rose Park and around the surrounding streets. While our enquiries continue into this menace, riders should be aware that this activity is illegal. Should officers detain anybody committing this offence the rider can expect to be dealt with for offences including dangerous driving and the bike will be seized.We have had reports recently about drug dealing in the Elmhurst area and as such we have increased our patrols to target these specific areas. If you do see something you suspect to be drug dealing, please make us aware, either by calling 101 or indeed by calling CrimeStoppers. A call to either agency can be made anonymously.
- Buckingham Park – Buckingham Park has suffered the same issue as Alfred Rose Park – mini motos. I am pleased to report however that in this case, due to some outstanding work by PCSO Fahy, we have identified the rider of two mini-motos. The rider has been spoken to and should the bikes be seen ridden illegally, they can be seized. Please call Thames Valley Police if you see any mini motos being ridden across the fields or within the estate. Over the past few weeks, there have been very few reports of ASB within the Buckingham Park area. Our officers will continue to patrol and respond to any requests for assistance.
These are being dealt with by your neighbourhood policing team in partnership with residents and other agencies. Progress will be reported in the Neighbourhood updates.

Many Republican governors who said they plan to take Medicaid money under President Obama's health care law now find they're facing a revolt within their own state parties, where GOP legislatures are none-too-eager to approve signing up for what they call "Obamacare."
In Arizona, Gov. Jan Brewer held a rally with doctors and nurses on Tuesday to try to build support ahead of a showdown with the Republican-dominated Legislature.
"I don't think there's any question this is an uphill fight," said her spokesman, Matt Benson. "The governor is all-in. She is fully committed to this effort."
SPECIAL COVERAGE: Health Care Reform
In Florida, meanwhile, a legislative panel rejected Gov. Rick Scott's surprising decision to expand Medicaid, leaving his plan wounded.
"I don't think it's dead in the water yet, but it's on life support," said Susan MacManus, a political science professor at the University of South Florida.
But in embracing an expansion of the federal-state health program for the poor and disabled, Mr. Scott is in the awkward position of taking a more liberal stance than some Republican legislators on health reforms he once lambasted.
Republican governors have wrestled with the economics and politics since the Supreme Court ruled last year that states could choose to accept or reject expansion of Medicaid in the Affordable Care Act,
Those who have accepted an expansion say the federal funds are too important to pass up, while those who have rejected the money say they fear the strings attached and the long-term costs.
Eight Republican governors have supported the expansion, and many are wrestling with wary legislatures.
While there is no deadline for states to accept or decline Medicaid expansion, states are rejecting vast federal resources with every budget season that goes by, said I. Glenn Cohen, a health policy expert at Harvard Law School.
"In these economic times, including in the shadow of the sequester's effect on state budgeting, it will be hard to leave money on the table even temporarily," he said.
Under Mr. Obama's reforms, states can opt to expand the health entitlement to those earning up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level. The federal government will pay for 100 percent of the expansion in 2014-2016 before scaling back its contribution to 90 percent.
Mr. Scott wants to expand Medicaid for the three years in which the feds will pick up the full tab. The expansion would then sunset if it the economics turn sour, he said.
About 750 miles north, Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell's problem is one of messaging as he disputes claims he agreed to expand Medicaid as a trade-off for passage of his comprehensive transportation bill.
In a recent letter to Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, he said any suggestions by Virginia lawmakers and media outlets that he agreed to expand Medicaid are "absolutely incorrect" and that he must make drastic changes before he'll sign Virginia up for expansion.

Bio-Mulsion Wax: This PEG-free emulsifying wax is a plant derived E-wax, which comes from olive oil, with a broad range of oil-in-water emulsifying applications. The mechanism by which Bio-Mulsion Wax works is by the formation of liquid crystals in emulsions to give products a smooth more spreadable consistency with superior skin absorption.
For those with sensitive skin, Bio-Mulsion Wax is a fantastic natural alternative to our more conventional Polawax for use in lotions. When using this emulsifier slower agitation will yield a less viscous more uniform emulsion.
Usage varies based on the application and combination of thickeners but normal usage rates are between 2 and 8% of the total weight of your recipe. The innovative crystalline technology gives this emulsifier a wide variety of applications: creams (6-8%); lotions (4-5%); liquid serums (2-3%). To assure that there is no separation it may be necessary to include a thickener or co-emulsifier at usage rates below 6%. This E-wax comes in medium off-white flakes.
Ingredients: Botanical Name: Cetearyl Olivate (and) Sorbitan OlivateCommon Name: Bio-mulsion Wax

Let's begin with trying to understand what happened. And so we should ask: Did Pope Francis know who Kim Davis is? Was he aware of the consequences that were sure to follow his meeting with her? On his return flight from Rome at the conclusion of his visit, Pope Francis was asked by reporter Terry Moran of ABC to comment on the facts of the Kim Davis case. While Moran did not mention her by name, he described a situation in which a government official refused to issue "marriage licenses to same-sex couples." The Pope declined to speak to the details of Moran's description of the case but answered in general terms that "conscientious objection" is a "human right." He elaborated on what he meant by rights of conscience with a... Charles J.

The central claim of the book is that the reporting about Presidential candidate Gary Hart marked a fundamental change in political reporting. According to the Boston Globe, Bai shows that the reporting was bad for Hart and bad for democratic life. I think Bai is torn on the question (he does an excellent job of reporting both sides). In the end, however, he regrets the tabloid turn, and though he has great admiration for Hart, he pulls no punches in reporting about his weaknesses. Gary Hart you may remember was the front runner for the Democratic nomination and a strong favorite to win the Presidency in 1988. He led George H.W. Bush by 13 points and only 11% of the electorate was undecided. Moreover, he was a brilliant candidate,...

Though the prolific and popular Herrera is by no means an obscure candidate — he is also currently a chancellor of the Academy of American Poets and his new and selected volume Half of the World in Light received the prestigious National Book Critics Circle Award — there was something unexpectedly refreshing about his selection.

He had been a member of the NAACP since the early 1950s. When SNCC voting rights activists started working in Amite and Pike counties in the fall of 1961, Lee, a close friend of the Amite County NAACP branch chairman E.W. Steptoe, became involved, helping to transport the workers and orient them to the locale. In mid-September, Assistant United States Attorney John Doar and others from the Justice Department interviewed several persons in Amite County about infringements of the voting laws. They learned that one E.H. Hurst, a member of the Mississippi state legislature, had been threatening to harm activists in Amite, including Herbert Lee. On the morning of September 25, E.H. Hurst ran into Herbert Lee at a cotton gin. Lee, who grew up with Hurst,... Patrick S.

Operating out of their Sacramento, California headquarters (the Centro de Artistas Chicanos), they organized community programs, designed murals, and printed posters in support of the United Farm Workers Union. This collaborative spirit shines in Hasta La Victoria Siempre, c/s, a print by Luis (or Louie 'the Foot' González), based on his brother Héctor's photograph of a United Farm Workers pro-labor rally. Interested in concrete poetry, Luis González wove the typed words long live, strike, and tomorrow into a fluid pattern." (My bibliography for César Chávez & the United Farm Workers is here.)

Golden Rice was created to tackle this problem, by genetically engineering Vitamin A into the rice grain. It is golden because its vitamin A comes from beta carotene, which also puts the orange in carrots. One of the areas of the world where Golden Rice is designed to be consumed is Asia, where a high proportion of calories are derived from rice consumption, and where vitamin A deficiency is endemic.

Ten per cent of that assessment is related to the acceptance rate. This grade point and LSAT part of the evaluation system has quite pernicious effects. It used to be that the vast majority of law school financial aid was distributed on the basis of need. No more. Now schools throw money at those students that can help the collective GPA or LSAT at the particular levels of the class that U.S. News employs. Morever, the money is doled out in a highly strategic way. There is little point in offering money to a student accepted at a higher ranked school. Indeed, serious gamers of the system might deny...

See here. The 130 complained that the "broad" ruling constituted a "blanket override of a statutory non-discrimination provision," and argued that the government's interest in preventing religious discrimination is compelling. They worry that the ruling might support discrimination against LGBT workers or could be used to deny health services to undocumented children. To be sure, preventing discrimination on the basis of religion should ordinarily be considered a compelling government interest. If the Sierra Club...

We have seen such waves recurrently in our history. In the 1840s, it was the Know-Nothings, who hated Catholics and opposed Irish immigration and were even responsible for riots and other acts of violence. In the 1920's, it was the turn of the Ku Klux Klan. Even while these hooded terrorists attacked African-Americans in the south, they also campaigned against immigration on racial and religious grounds. The eastern and southern Europeans then entering the country, they maintained, were impossible to assimilate. They were Catholic, they were Jewish, and most of all they were "un-American." These campaigns succeeded in largely shutting down immigration to the United States for forty years, from the 1920's to the middle 1960's. Today, we are witnessing what is shaping up to be a sorry rerun of this awful history. Anti-immigrant... Charles J.

These patterns persist even when there is universal access to health care—a finding quite surprising to those who think financial access to medical services is the primary determinant of health status. In fact, recent cross-national evidence suggests that the greater the degree of socio-economic inequality that exists within a society, the steeper the gradient of health inequality. As a result, middle-income groups in a more unequal society will have worse health than comparable or even poorer groups in a society with greater equality. Of course, we cannot infer causation from correlation, but there are plausible hypotheses about pathways which link social inequalities to health, and, even if more work remains to be done to clarify...

After months of renovations, Brian says thieves crashed through the roof.
??We go to review the video and it just starts getting funnier and funnier and funnier,?? says Aubuchon.
First, the criminals go for the televisions??guess they didn??t see a chair in the way.
??It??s so funny that it almost takes the pain away from that you're building something for the community and they're trying to destroy it,?? he says.
The vending machines were smashed while the thieves go after the sweet stuff.

The Babel Project
Two workmen were asked what they were building together. One said he was building a garage. The other replied that he was building a cathedral. A day later there was only one man laying bricks. When asked where the second was, the first replied, "Oh, he got fired. He insisted on building a cathedral instead of a garage."
Something similar happened on the ancient worksite of Babel. A group of people decided they would build a city and a tower that would reach to the heavens and unite their world (Gen. 11:4). But God didn't want them working on a grand, self-centered plan based on the idea that they could rise to the heights of God and solve all of their own problems. So He came down, stopped the project, scattered the people "over all the earth," and gave them different languages (vv. 8-9).
God wanted people to see Him as the solution to their problems, and He revealed His plan for them to Abraham (12:1-3). Through the faith of Abraham and his descendants, He would show the world how to look for a city "whose architect and builder is God" (Heb. 11:8-10).
Our faith does not rise out of our own dreams and solutions. The foundation of faith is in God alone and what He can do in and through us.
Trail Trees
In recent years, my daughter has become fascinated with the history of the indigenous people in northern Michigan where she lives. One summer afternoon when I was visiting, she showed me a road that had a sign designating "Trail Trees." She explained to me that it's believed that long ago the Native Americans bent young trees to point the way to specific destinations and that they continued to grow in an unusual shape.
A Season For Everything
If you're like me, you've struggled with having to say no to taking on a new responsibility—especially if it's for a good cause and directly related to helping others. We may have sound reasons for carefully selecting our priorities. Yet sometimes, by not agreeing to do more, we may feel guilty or we may think that somehow we have failed in our walk of faith.
Weighed Down
August 10, 1628, was a dark day in naval history. On that day the royal warship Vasa set out on her maiden voyage. After taking 2 years to build, being lavishly decorated and holding 64 cannons, the pride of the Swedish navy sank only one mile out to sea. What went wrong? The excessive load was too heavy to make her seaworthy. Excess weight pulled the Vasa to the bottom of the ocean.
Whose Will?
May all things happen according to your will," is a greeting frequently exchanged during Chinese New Year. As wonderful as that may sound, events turn out best when God's will plays out and not mine.
The Girl In The Yellow Coat
It was her yellow raincoat that caught my attention, and quickly I became increasingly interested in this cute freshman with long, brown hair. Soon I worked up my courage, interrupted Sue as she walked along reading a letter from a guy back home, and awkwardly asked her for a date. To my surprise, she said yes.
Standing On The Edge
My little girl stood apprehensively at the pool's edge. As a nonswimmer, she was just learning to become comfortable in the water. Her instructor waited in the pool with outstretched arms. As my daughter hesitated, I saw the questions in her eyes: Will you catch me? What will happen if my head goes under?
The Language Of Whistling
On La Gomera, one of the smallest of the Canary Islands, a language that sounds like a bird song is being revived. In a land of deep valleys and steep ravines, schoolchildren and tourists are learning how whistling was once used to communicate for distances up to 2 miles. One goat herder who is using this ancient language once again to communicate with his flock said, "They recognize my whistle as they recognize my voice."
The Blame Game
When Jenny's husband left her for another woman, she vowed that she would never meet his new wife. But when she realized that her bitterness was damaging her children's relationship with their father, she asked for God's help to take the first steps toward overcoming bitterness in a situation she couldn't change.

The present invention is related to illumination devices and or accessories which may secure to a computer keyboard, drawer or the work space beneath a keyboard and is the host for an accessory or slave device unsecured for viewing objects on a vertical or horizontal plane. More specifically, this invention relates to an AC powered, low-voltage plug in transformer, which is the power source for the host illuminator and an accessory light which is energized by lifting the light bar into the operating position and the slave device that is powered by plugging a cord into the host, thus allowing a comfortable light level to view the keys and number pad of a keyboard. The total adjustablity of the host device and the slave device provide reduced glare and allows the viewing of objects such as keyboards, paper, drawings or documents in a darkened environment.
The Prior Art for lighting keyboards in a darkened environments such as computer training schools, commercial designers using Computer Aided Design (C.A.D.) and home users, have been attempted by the use of a point source illuminator, mounted adjacent to the keyboard. The Prior Art created three additional problems for their users. Number one, they occupy work surface space; number two, they needed constant relocation due to limited work surfaces making them a obstacle; number three, provided uneven illumination too bright to be practical.
Other considerations for over lighting are; one, eye fatigue of the eyes due to strain to over come reflective glare; two, reduced productivity due to attempting to see in over lighted conditions and activating the wrong control keys; three, excessive power usage; and fourth, is the need to replace the light bulbs.
Other Prior Art such as U.S. Pat. No. 4,626,965, to Gopta, 362-249, restricts users application to a custom cabinet and limited hardware considerations with little or no adjustability to redirect illumination that would create glare.
With U.S. Pat. No. 5,122,941, to Gross, 362-276, the illumination device is a single point source and limited to mounting on clipboards, and the luminaries do not allow a clear field of vision between the user and a instructor.
Therefore the need for a low level linear light source that is compact, reduces glare and is easy to use and is needed for people who operate keyboards or read reference materials in a darkened environment.
The present invention is an apparatus for illuminating computer keyboards and reference materials. A hinged support bracket which is secured by double face tape or screws, in a manner that cradles the keyboard to allow the pivoting of the host illumination device from an off position, which is down, wrapped around the keyboard, to an on position which is any position above a 40 degree angle. When energized, by the activation of the rotary switch the host illumination device will provide a low level linear light for a keyboard and a power supply for the slave light. Said rotary switch that is built into the left side arm where the power cord comes from a 12 volt AC plug in transformer, is constructed of a two part printed circuit board material with an etched path for completing the electric circuit. Once the user has lifted the host illumination device into the position that is most comfortable for viewing the host illuminator can be released and it will stay in that position by means of friction created by wave washers that maintain pressure sufficient to stabilize the light bar during the time of use. On the left end on the side at the top edge of said host illumination device is a female receptacle that allows the use of the slave illumination device. Said slave is the same type of light source as the host but one half the size, and non-hinged with a clear triangle plastic base that serves as a ballast or weight on the bottom, which can be secured on a vertical surface with velcro straps or placed on a horizontal surface and connected to the power source by a wire with a male plug,
This present host illumination device provides needed illumination for keyboards in a darkened environment that employes a string of 10 bulbs for the host unit and 5 bulbs for the slave unit which are low voltage miniature light bulbs wired in parallel that are rated at 40,000 hours of use. Being strung together by means of a printed circuit board and wires in the host illumination device, thereby providing the results of a linear light source thus overcoming the problem of Prior Art being a point source. The light level is low and warm in color. The slave illumination device, when plugged in, will provide a mobile light source in conjunction with the host, for illumination on clip board stands, large drawings and other reference materials.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the host keyboard illuminator (A) and the slave or accessory illuminator (B) in a accordance with two embodiments of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the same two embodiments with the host illuminator showing the extreme point of rotation thus revealing the lens.
FIG. 3 is a exploded view of the embodiment of the host illuminator.
FIG. 4 is a exploded view of the embodiment of the slave or accessory illuminator.
FIG. 5 is the front views of the self activated switch parts.
Referring now to the drawings and more particularly to FIG. 1, the first embodiment A of the invention is a self activated keyboard illuminator shown together with the slave accessory embodiment B. The power for the host illuminator is provided by a plug in transformer 27 that reduces the voltage from 120 to 12 volts. Embodiment A has at the top left hand side a female receptacle 28 that in turn provides the power for the slave accessory by means of a male plug cord 29 from the host illuminator.
Referring now to the drawing in FIG. 1, embodiment B of the invention, the slave or accessory illuminator, is shown in a perspective view, is powered by the same transformer 27 that powers the host illuminator A, and is connected through a female receptacle 28 that provides power to the slave accessory through a male plug cord 29 with a single pair of wires being light weight and highly flexible. This embodiment B can also be operated alone with it's own transformer 27 (FIG. 4). The embodiments shown A and B are illuminators in the category of incandescent low-voltage lighting.
Referring now to the drawing in FIG. 2 also a perspective view embodiment A showing "the lightbar" rotated to 0 degrees thereby demonstrating 0-180 degrees pivoting capability and exposing the lens 18 that is held in place by the outer body referred to as "the lightbar" 10 and is made of aluminum with a powder coated paint finish, is channeled to receive the lens 18 and both snap covers 11 and (14 shown in FIG. 3) made of plastic, which in turn have inserted into them the hinge arms 12 made of steel and also powder coated paint, on the right side and on the left side the hinge arm 19 which is part of the self activated switch and is made of printed circuit board fiberglass material. Both hinge arms 19 and 12 are inserted into their perspective snap covers 11 and (14 shown in FIG. 3) thereby being secured to the base or stabilizer 13 made of steel and also powder coated paint, by means of steel rivets flared on the end opposite the head 22 and (25 shown in FIG. 3) that are expanded through the two before mentioned hinge arm parts on both sides with spring washers 24 and (25 shown in FIG. 3) thereby securing the arm assemblies together thus the providing pivot points for the light bar assembly. The stabilizer 13 is secured beneath the keyboard either by double face tape or screws. The embodiment B of FIG. 2 is a perspective showing the assembly laid on it's back to reveal the lens 43 that is held in place by the outer shell 30 is the same basic construction as the host illuminator made of aluminum and powder coated paint finish. The snap covers 31 and (32 shown in FIG. 4) made of plastic, that provides a grove to receive the guide rule 33 which is transparent plastic, which also serves as a ballast and thereby being secured on both ends by means of a expanding rivets 34 and (37 shown in FIG. 4) made of plastic thus stabilizing the unit for horizontal use. The arms of the slave accessory B are velcro covered 33 and (36 shown in FIG. 4) will allow a strap (39 shown in FIG. 4) to secure the illuminator to vertical surfaces.
Referring now to FIG. 3 an exploded view in a perspective of the host illuminator embodiment A revealing the illumination source 20 a printed circuit board that is called "the bulb strip" 20 with ten miniature low voltage light bulbs 21 spaced one and three quarter inch on center and has two wires 17 with soldered connections to the printed circuit board hinge arm 19. The wires 17 pass through the female receptacle 15 and receive solder at each contact point and are terminated at holes 47 in the hinge arm 19. The receptacle 15 is then installed through the hinge arm 19 and a lock nut 16 secures the two items together. The lens 18 holds the bulb strip 20 in position and after snapping together along the lingerer part of 10 "the lightbar" is thereby reinforced by snap arm covers 14 and 11 with the hinge arms 19 and 12 inserted therein. The printed circuit board hinge arm 19 is part of the self activating switch and has a hole marked 46 that mates with switch contacts 26 and is held together by means of a steel rivet 22 inserted through the exterior of the stabilizer 13 at the hole marked 56 passing through it to the printed circuit board arm hinge 19 then through the switch contact 26, finally receiving a spring washer 23 then the rivet is then flared so as to created pressure on the assembly that will allow pivoting.
Referring now to FIG. 4 an exploded view in a perspective, of the embodiment B, of the invention referred to as slave accessory. Revealing the illumination source 42 a printed circuit board "the bulb strip" with five miniature low voltage light bulbs 41 spaced one and three quarter inches on center and secured in the same fashion as the host illuminator embodiment A with the same lens 43 except the lens is half the length as lens 18. The snap covers 31 and 32 made of plastic, have V groves to receive the guide rule 33 which is transparent plastic, that also serves as a ballast to help upright the unit when free standing and thereby being secured on both ends by means of a expanding rivets 34 and 37 are made of plastic that are inserted through arms on 30 at the holes marked 54 and 55 in the triangle shaped base 33 which is provided with two holes 52 and 53 thus stabilizing the unit for horizontal use. The arms of the slave accessory B are velcro covered 33 and 36 will allow a strap 39 to secure the illuminator to vertical surfaces. The power supply for the embodiment, as a slave illuminator, is derived from the host embodiment A FIG. 1 via plug cord 29 being a single pair conductor, which passes through the arm on 30 at a hole 44 and is soldered to the bulb strip 42. The power supply for the "STAND ALONE" accessory is the same step down transformer 27, converting AC line voltage to low-voltage, then to control the on off operation of the "STAND ALONE" unit, an in-line thumb switch 60 on the power cord 51 is employed. The "STAND ALONE" accessory which will also have, in the cover 30 a hole 58 in arm to secure the female terminal 60 with a lock nut 59 on the outside to provide stability. The power will be conducted through a single pair of wires 61 that connects the end of the bulb strip 42 with solder connections, thus allowing up to two slave accessory units to operate from the "STAND ALONE" unit power which employes the same kind of transformer 27 (all other functions of the illuminator are the same).
Referring now to FIG. 5 front views of the parts for the printed circuit switch, consisting of the hinge arm 19 and the switch contacts 26, showing in the arm details of hole 45 for securing the female receptacle 15 shown on FIG. 3, the termination holes 47 for the power transfer wire 17, the pivot hole 46 that aligns the arm 19 with the switch contacts on 26 which shows the power path coming from the power cord 51 to solder contact points 49 and 50, thereby transmitting power to the arm though the contact pads 63 and 64 that will make contact to the conductor path on the hinge arm 19 marked 65 and 66 allowing the power to flow through the wires 17 that are terminated at holes marked 47 with a solder connection. When hole 46 on hinge arm 19 and hole 48 on switch contacts 26 are aligned and held in position by the steel rivet 22, allowing the rotation of the hinge arm 19 against the switch contacts 26, thus making and braking the circuit, turning on and of the illuminators.
The foregoing specification sets forth the invention of a computer illumination accessory in its preferred, embodiments but the structures shown are capable of modification within a range of equivalents without departing from the invention which is to be understood as broadly novel and unique and is commensurate with the appended claims.
Having fully disclosed how to use and how to make the invention, the scope of my claims may now be understood to be as follows:

Charges of Republican or conservative heartlessness about the children flooding the border have been common. Some journalists seemingly cannot type the word Republican without the modifier "heartless." But where is the evidence of this supposed callousness, and why is it any greater among Republicans than Democrats?
The flag-waving protesters who confronted buses of children in Murrieta, California, were unseemly. Whatever the merits of arguments over illegal immigration, children are clearly helpless pawns in the drama and should not be subjected to protests about actions over which they have no control.
But other than the protesters in Murrieta -- and no one has polled them to discover their political views, though it's likely that they're conservatives -- by what standard are Republicans held to be heartless while Democrats are not?
Is it by arguing the new migrants who entered the country illegally be denied legal status? Jeh Johnson, the Obama administration's secretary of Homeland Security, said just that. "Those who cross borders today illegally, including children, are not eligible for an earned path to citizenship."

Key west is not the best
... the lord that the bus back had air conditioning, a good thing, so we thought. I guess the driver was subconsciously trying to make up for the airless journey this morning. Long story short, my towel became a blanket. Despite the Florida Antarctic, i slept the whole way back to the hostel.
Everyone had gone clubbing by the time we got back so Frida and I went and got some food. She was nice enough to pay for me because i needed my last ...
Why would you eat a dolphin?
... pirates of the Caribbean played by the 50% sharesy rules. We all liked Key West, it was a great place to chill, very hot and humid in August but an interesting place to spend a few days and the drive down here is spectacular. We tried to get a flight to Cuba for our last few days but, although the rules are being relaxed, you still have to have a very good reason to go and fill out a lot of paperwork, so he headed back ...
Island time, finally!
... bit. As expected, this area is very tourist oriented, and the shops reflect that. We hopped back on the trolley and ended up around the wharf area.
Nearing lunchtime, we grabbed lunch at a cool seafood place on the pier called the Half Shell Raw cafe where we satisfied our seafood cravings with calamari, shrimp and fish. We topped off lunch with a slice of Key Lime pie, which was delicious. After lunch, we walked around the pier to ...
... dinner. I went to a joint on the main street called Fogarty's. After long consideration, I decided on the buffalo wings as a starter. They ended up being so hot I started to get the meat sweats and I was practically crying by the time I had finished them. Next up, I ordered a steak burger. That was bloody underwhelming and lacked any flavour at all. So, all in all, another junk meal. I was starting to fade and headed back to the hotel and gratefully hit the scratcher. Over and out ...
Key West Odds and Ends
... walked around. There was a giant cruise ship docked there, but Dan could make out where the old submarine basin was. There were a couple of beautiful commerical hotels and a large complex labeled "Naval Administration" which, on closer inspection, was a really nice hotel. Someone in Miami had told us that the Navy operated a nice hotel in Key West for military personnel, and it sure is! And it's nice that military personnel can stay there for a reduced ...

Sari Weis, 28, is a program coordinator at the San Francisco Health Plan. Her husband is a political organizer and often on the road. When he travels, she sometimes knows about his day even before they talk.
Recently he told her about a good Venezuelan restaurant he went to in Napa. He couldn't remember the name, but she already knew it. That's because Weis logs onto a website, Mint.com, where she sees in close to real time what her husband puts onto credit or debit cards or withdraws from his bank.
Weis and her husband each keeps a small, separate account for a bit of financial independence and privacy. But they bare the rest of
2010 Investment Guide
Hollywood's Top-Earning Couples
Separate Or Joint Accounts?
their daily spending in an effort to save money. It's worked well enough that they just bought their first house.
Following the money trail has never been so easy for couples. They can use Mint.com or Quicken, both owned by Intuit (Nasdaq:INTU), to track their joint spending. Other options include moneystrands.com and Yodlee MoneyCenter, among other personal finance management tools.
Sound creepy? No question, following a money trail can lead to uncovering of deep, dark secrets. Just ask former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer. Investigators followed spending activity that started at his bank and led to a prostitution ring. (Think your money secrets are insignificant? See Financial Infidelity: Are YOU A Cheater?)
On the positive side of the ledger, millions of people have found that keeping a close watch over their money - and their spouse's - has given them an element of financial control in the midst of jobs losses, skyrocketing mortgages and rising costs for items like healthcare. In the process, they're making some personal discoveries as well.
Amy Jackson, a public relations representative, learned through Mint that her husband's sailing hobby was a larger expense than they'd realized. They spent more on sailing than she spent on friends' weddings and other events. On a smaller scale, she also learned that her husband religiously eats lunch at the same bakery, Le Boulanger.
"He's definitely a creature of habit," she says.
Two years ago Mike Leahy, a 55-year-old Maryland attorney, had no idea of where his wife of 18 years was spending money. With their kids' college bills and own retirements approaching, he was interested in getting tighter reins on their finances. The couple logged onto Mint, which links their bank and credit card accounts. The electronic receipts gave Leahy an accounting in close to real time of how his wife spent money while they were apart.
They eventually sat down and discussed what turned up, including trips to boutiques for household items that could have been purchased for less at chain stores like Lowes and Target. Leahy also saw that his wife often spent money on other people rather than on herself. She bought lunches for friends and suits for him when he didn't buy them himself.
This led the couple to discuss its financial objectives. Leahy says he was thrilled to have a non-confrontational way to discuss spending and to have a more honest conversation about money than the couple had had in years. (Is one person in your household in control of the finances? Learn the drawbacks of this common setup in Why You Shouldn't Let Your Partner Do The Books.)
In Los Angeles Eva Goicochea and her husband, Ian, 27 and 25, respectively, criticized each other for spending too much on lunches. Each wondered how much the other was spending. They started tracking their purchases and discovered something surprising: They spent as much together as they did apart.
Several times a week they went to local restaurants, ordering appetizers, wine and desserts. They also ordered takeout and let groceries go bad. The tab: $1,200 a month for food, with 60-70% of it going to dinners together.
These days they eat at home more often. The couple has halved their food bill. That's an ending they can bank on.

Year 2000 Computing Challenge:
Agencies' Reporting of Mission-Critical Classified Systems
AIMD-99-218: Published: Aug 5, 1999. Publicly Released: Aug 5, 1999.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-4841
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO provided information on federal agencies' reporting to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) on the year 2000 status of their classified systems, focusing on: (1) whether agencies are including classified systems in their quarterly reports to OMB; (2) whether agencies are separately reporting to OMB on the status of their classified systems; and (3) for those agencies not reporting to OMB, the status of those systems.
GAO noted that: (1) of the 34 federal agencies surveyed, 21 agencies reported that they do not have any classified systems; (2) of the remaining 13 federal agencies, 12 agencies reported that they include the year 2000 status of their mission-critical, classified systems in their reports to OMB; (3) OMB uses the information provided by the agencies to monitor year 2000 progress across the federal government and to keep Congress informed of agencies' year 2000 progress; (4) as of July 1999, the Department of the Treasury had not reported the status of all of its mission-critical, classified systems to OMB; (5) however, it plans to do so in its subsequent reports to OMB; (6) Treasury reported that it has 13 systems that are not reported to OMB; (7) of these 13 systems, 7 systems are year 2000 compliant, 5 systems are being repaired, and 1 system is being replaced; and (8) according to Treasury, the 5 systems being repaired and the 1 system being replaced are all in the testing/validation phase.
