Midwives are finding it increasingly difficult to cope with Britain's new baby boom.
Births in the UK are up 16 per cent on six years ago - due to immigration and the rising number of young girls becoming pregnant - and nurses are leaving the NHS because of the strain it's putting on the service.
In their biggest survey of members for five years, the Royal College of Midwives found that 91 per cent said they can't offer women and babies proper care on maternity wards because of extra numbers. Two out of three midwives say things are so bad they have considered quitting their jobs in the past year.
The survey also revealed that morale has hit rock bottom because of staff shortages and low pay. Thirty-nine per cent of midwives say their wages - which average £25,000 a year - are too low, and almost half regularly work an extra 20 extra hours every week for free.
Last night a spokesman for the RCM said: "We're going to see a haemorrhage in the profession if the conditions midwives work in are not addressed."

The film - with a script by David Hare (his first in 20 years) - wonderful and the cast is superb with Michael Gambon, Rachel Weisz, Judy Davis and Bill Nighy (in the main role) as an M5 Investigator (The UK's "intelligence unit).
I won't give the plot because it would spoil it. And I'll also suggest that you pass on the review titled "I'd Like Some Jazz " which really gives a lot of it away. Even the short description on the back of the DVD divulges info it's more interesting to discover as you watch the film.
This 105 minute film (yes it is 105 minutes on this DVD.. someone asked) is the "Original UK Version" so there is the F-Word - that didn't appear when it aired on PBS.
I watched this DVD knowing nothing about the film or plot and thoroughly enjoyed it. It's a modern "spy/ political" film as up to dates as today's headlines.
Steve Ramm
"Anything Phonographic"
A contemporary spy film created for BBC, the action is set in both London and Cambridge. Johnny Worricker (Bill Nighy in one of his best roles to date) is an experienced MI5 officer whose boss and best friend Benedict Baron (Michael Gambon) dies of a myocardial infarction: he leaves a secret file for his friend. Both men have been married to the same woman (Alice Krige) and Worricker has a grown child from his marriage, an artist Julianne Felicity Jones) who has never quite forgiven her father for leaving her mother for another woman. The file is so important that it is under surveillance by the British Intelligence (Judy Davis et al) and the Prime Minister's office (Ralph Fiennes). Worricker lives in a flat opposite a beautiful but aloof girl Nancy Pierpan (Rachel Weisz) whose brother has been murdered in the Middle East. It is the silence about Nancy's brother's death that is at the core of the file Worricker holds and with some help from Nancy he traces the truth to the point of being threatened by MI5 to be fired. The film addresses contemporary intelligence issues and techniques and the associated moral dilemmas we face today. To reveal more would be to rob the viewer of the complexity of the story.
The strong supporting cast includes Marthe Kellar in a small but pivotal role, along with Tom Hughes, Kate Burdette, Ewen Bremmer and others. This is a tense drama, exceptionally well written and acted and a welcome change from the current barrage of action flicks. Grady Harp, November 11
The cast, which is top drawer, includes Michael Gambon, who used to be Nighy's tutor at Cambridge and subsequently became his boss at MI5; Judy Davis, a rather nasty piece of goods who is his colleague and nemisis at MI5; and a still lovely and charismatic Marthe Keller, cast in the role of an old love of Nighy and possibly a professional contact, who is a source of ready cash.
Although I was totally absorbed in the story, which moves at a fast pace, the plot contained some gaps, which makes me wonder whether we on this side of the Pond have been treated to yet another truncated version to fit into the Masterpiece time slot. Furthermore, there were maddening lapses in continuity.Read more ›
The drama is riveting, and the cast is excellent. I am not a big Bill Nighy fan, but everyone else is excellent. I started watching the video at 1AM, and I could not stop watching it. I found the ending realistic and believable, despite the fact that I wished for something more satisfying from our hero's point of view. The dialogue is great. It is witty, and it is what an American Anglophile expects the British ruling class to sound like.
There is a rumor that writer/director David Hare has told some associates that if Page 8 works, he might bring Bill Nighy's character Johnny Worricker back, as part of a trilogy of TV films. I would love to see more (even with Bill Nighy).
PBS Masterpiece will air the drama next week, and has allowed two hours for the broadcast. The drama itself is only one hour and thirty-eight minutes. So, I am hopeful that PBS will broadcast the entire drama.
The only thing wrong with the DVD is the price of $23.49. This is a made for TV movie of normal TV movie length. That price is not warranted. I will wait until the price drops before I buy the DVD.

text: 000 FXUS64 KBRO 232031 AFDBRO Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service BROWNSVILLE TX 331 PM CDT SAT JUL 23 2016 .SHORT TERM (Tonight through Sunday Night): Short-term forecast continues to be more-or-less steady-state. Broad 500-mb high currently centered over NM continues to exert its influence on the area. Just a handful of light showers have developed early this afternoon along and just behind the sea-breeze front. SE surface flow has kept areal coverage of said showers down a bit (from already low levels) from last couple of days. Short-term models have captured this well. Not much change for tomorrow, with center of mid-level high and local thickness values basically unchanged. Hot conditions will continue with afternoon heat indices reaching 105-110 degrees across much of the area. GFS keeping precipitable water values in the 1.7- 1.9" range, whereas NAM brings in a modest batch mid-level moisture for slightly higher values. MET PoP`s in the 15-20% range while MAV are single-digits. In the grids, have limited mentionable PoP`s to the offshore waters late night/early morning both nights and inland areas (though not at the coast) Sunday afternoon. .LONG TERM (Monday through Saturday): In the grand scheme of things, more of the same as late July swelter continues virtually uninterrupted. The devil is in the details, particularly on Tuesday and Wednesday. Slight discrepancies arise between the GFS and ECMWF with handling of weak inverted 500 mb trough that slides across the northern Gulf Tuesday into Wednesday. The GFS has been consitently and even trending more bearish on rain chances for the southern tip of Texas, keeping the deepest moisture within the core short waves from southeast and east Texas through southern Louisiana. The ECMWF comes up with a third short wave "center" over south Texas on Tuesday which moves steadily westward and on into south and central Texas and the Big Bend by Wednesday, with likely some orographic forcing kicking up the mean RH and precip well west and north of the RGV by then. Climatologically, recent trends, and reasons for the additional southern wave indeterminate lead us to lean on the low side of rain chances, mainly held to Tuesday but giving a very slight nod to Wednesday afternoon farther west if any residual moisture remains. If the GFS is correct, the only rain would fall in overnight/early morning streamer showers from southeast to northwest, reaching the coast before dissipating in too strong of a southerly flow similar to what brought us the first 2+ weeks of rain- free weather to start July. For the sensible weather, Monday should be rain-free except for the usual warm waters of the Gulf and temperatures continuing the "new" streak of triple digit afternoons along and west of U.S. 281/IH 69C. For Tuesday, reluctantly held slight chances for areas east of U.S. 281/IH 69C through mid afternoon, though quite possible the beaches clear out by noon as typical in a sea breeze "jump" event. This assumes the GFS is not dead on; such a solution would keep rain chances to a silent 10 percent (or less) away from the coast as mentioned above. Based on the potential for a bit of afternoon rain coverage as well as higher clouds which both GFS and ECMWF show decent cirrus, have kept the triple digit line across the Rio Grande Plains. By Wednesday, with drier air filtering into the 1000-500 mb layer and some thinning of the cirrus above, nudged highs back over 100 for U.S. 281. Thereafter, the weak inverted trough exits stage left into western Mexico, allowing the Canicular ridge to spill back over into Texas beginning Thursday and continuing through the weekend as upper level low dips into the northeast U.S., which helps said ridge`s cause in maintaining the rain-free, hot, and somewhat breezy days. Breezes may slacken a bit by Saturday. Temperatures edge a little higher, close to the 96 Brownsville/99 Harlingen/102 McAllen common theme through the second week of July. One note: Should Tuesday (and/or Wednesday) remain at or above 100 in McAllen, theres no evidence thereafter for afternoon temperatures to dip below that through the next two weeks. A second streak could be well underway by month`s end. Stay tuned... && .MARINE: Tonight through Sunday Night: Relatively slack pressure gradient between broad high pressure across the Gulf of Mexico and modest thermal troughing in the Desert Southwest will yield winds mainly on the moderate side. Tropical waves crossing the Yucatan and Bay of Campeche will "dent" the Gulf high a bit for wind directions from the SSE. Winds on the Laguna Madre could approach SCEC criterion on Sunday afternoon, but otherwise no marine headlines are expected. Seas run in the 2-3 ft. range. Isolated showers still a possibility between midnight and mid-morning each day. Monday through Thursday: The main issue will be how much and when the south/southeast flow builds through the period. As mentioned above, ECMWF`s handling of a third wave moving through Deep South Texas/Lower Texas Gulf waters would keep flow down a bit Tuesday and Tuesday night, while the GFS kicks up winds with tightening surface gradient. Decided to split the difference with some afternoon pickup over Laguna Madre, and marine layer knocking that down over the nearshore waters; in all cases, near but just under caution (15-20 knot) levels. For Wednesday and Thursday, broader southeast flow will ease surf and nearshore water temperatures back down a couple of degrees or more, which will help keep daytime winds in check in the zero to 20 nm waters. Laguna winds may edge into caution levels each afternoon. With no broad swell expected, some nearshore windswell/wind chop and general uptick of winds will build seas a bit, but should remain below 5 feet through the period. Periodic showers mainly offshore will continue as they have, but move from south to north rather than east to west. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

I have a question regarding new ATI 5 series. I heard that there will be a special version of 5 series that supports up to 6 displays. What about a regular 5 series? I see a regular 5 series have 2 DVI + 1 HDMI + 1 DISPLAY PORT. Can I connect 4 displays at once?
The regular series can only handle up to 3 screens
you're clearly wrong....
you can run up to 6 according to this. Obviously you can run 2 cards in crossfire to allow up to 6 displays.
You can connect up to 5 displays if you will buy MST (Multi Stream Transport) Hub and connect it to display port. It is not cheap (about 150$).
Like this: http://www.club-3d.com/index.php/products/reader.en/product/mst-hub-1-3.html or this: http://www.accellcables.com/K088B-003B.html
Don't forget to check your display port version on video card.

Take a look at our
15th Annual
Sean's Run Weekend
April 23 &24, 2016
Chatham, New York
Recap: Our 15th running offered everything expected of a highly regarded and exceptionally well-produced community event. Participants and sponsors alike have spoken, and voted Sean's Run Weekend as "Best Community Event-Spring" in Columbia County.
Simply put, the 15th Annual Sean's Run Weekend was our best event ever.
The Weekend was dedicated to the memory of Christopher Stewart, the 17-year old Shenendehowa High School football team captain who was killed on December 1, 2012 when a drunk driver crashed into Christopher's car.
Our flagship activity — Sean's Run 5K and Meghan's Mile — attracted 1,550 registrants, the largest field since the event's inception in 2002.
In the Men's 5K 80-and-Over age group, the old course record set by Richard Eckardt's, 81, Albany, NY was shattered by Wade Stockman, 81, Rensselaer, NY in a time of 31:01. In addition two other runners bested the former record, including Charles Blanchard, 82, East Chatham, NY (34:04) and Dick Green, 81, East Chatham, NY (36:19).
First-time 5K winners, Ross Wightman and Hayley Madsen, dedicated their wins to Ross's sister Leah Wightman, a perennial Sean's Run participant who was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) in early March and awaits a Bone Marrow Transplant.
A new feature of the 5K, the Firefighters' Challenge, drew volunteer firefighters from across the county who ran in their firefighting protective gear — a demonstration of their commitment and dedication to protecting their communities.
Katie Everett, 12, claimed her third consecutive Meghan's Mile Champion title and Graham Richard, 11, won the boys mile race.
Prior to the start of the 5K Run/Walk, the hotly-contested and rollicking World Championship Battle of the Belts included a field of 19 teams representing schools from across the region. When the Battle was over, Mohonasen High School, Schenectady County, retained their title as World Champions for the fourth consecutive year, having now won the title 5 times in 11 annual contests.
Sunday's agenda included the Prevention Education Expo and the introduction of the Sean's Run Scholarship Winners and the recipients of Sean's Run Grants to schools and youth groups. Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors and participants, we have given over $208,000 to support these two areas of interest over the past 14 years.
Congressman Chris Gibson (19th CD) from Kinderhook, presented a framed copy of the Congressional Record from April 14, 2016 when the Congressman made a presentation on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives honoring the life of Sean Patrick French and the good works of Sean's Run Weekend. The Congressman has never missed participating in the 5K since his election 6 years ago.
Three new elements of the weekend – entertainment by the Berkshire Bateria Brazilian Drum group, an interactive exhibit by Artists for Sean's Run and an expanded Finish Line Food Court offering a variety of samples from local restaurants and caterers were well received.
On Saturday over 200 bicyclists, offered a choice of either a 50-, 20- and 10-mile route, enjoyed nice riding conditions and fun rest stops and a refreshments tent at the finish line. Though not a race, it is notable that the first cyclist to complete the 50-mile route finished in 2:29, averaging a very respectable 20 mpg on the roads that were all open to traffic.
The Sean's Run Zumbathon attracted over 50 of the area's most dedicated "fitness fanatics" in the two-hour, non-stop dance party.
Kids of all ages with physical and intellectual disabilities enjoyed the Super Saturday Run for Special Needs Kids.
THANK YOU! To all of our 2016 participants, volunteers, and sponsors.
Plan now to be part of our 16th annual event – April 29 & 30, 2017.

Student Network Use Policy
Emmanuel College (EC) Residence Hall rooms are equipped with an Ethernet Network Connection which grants your computer access to the Campus Network (EC Network), and the Internet. The Residence Hall Network is a part of the EC Network and its governance, therefore, is subject to all laws, rules, and policies that govern the entire EC Network. Student use of this connection is a privilege and any use violating the terms of this agreement will result in the suspension, or termination, of this privilege and may result in other disciplinary actions. The following policies are designed to help protect our customers, as well as the Internet in general, from inappropriate or illegal activities.
General Violations
Impersonation: Alteration of any header information (known as spoofing) with the intention of misleading or impersonating other users, or systems, is prohibited.
Unauthorized Use: Attempts to gain access to any other computer system, without the consent of the owner of that system, are prohibited.
Commercial or Business Use: Using the EC Network for commercial or business purposes is prohibited.
Copyright Infringement: Using the EC Network to distribute copyrighted material without the permission of the author is prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to, the use or distribution of items such as web art, registered names, software applications, and music.
Harmful Use: Activity adversely affecting the ability of other people, or systems to use the EC Network, the Internet or other connected networks is prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to, any action, or attempted action, resulting in the denial of service to other networks, systems, or individuals.
Excessive Bandwidth Use: Using excessive bandwidth, as determined by the EC Director of Information Systems, which adversely affects use of the EC Network, the Internet, or any other connected network, is prohibited.
Unsolicited Mass E-mail: Using the EC Network as a means of distributing unsolicited mass e-mail is prohibited.
Introduction of Non-Authorized Equipment: Introduction of any networking equipment onto the EC Network is prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to, items such as hubs, switches, bridges, routers, and access servers. Non-authorized equipment is subject to confiscation and disposal at the discretion of the DIS.
Important Notices
No Expectation of Privacy: Users are advised that any traffic sent across the EC Network should be considered public. There are three primary reasons that network data must be considered public. First, as with any use of networks, there is the potential for hackers illegally gaining access, thus compromising data integrity. Second, the EC Network and the data traversing the network may be subject to the State Open Records act. Third, proper network maintenance requires EC personnel to monitor the network. Users are advised that monitoring requires EC personnel to view data transmitted across the network. Emmanuel College will cooperate with appropriate legal authorities in investigating claims of illegal activity. In addition, EC staff will report to appropriate legal authorities, any illegal action brought to our attention during the routine monitoring, or maintenance, of the EC Network.
Systems Security: Your system, when attached to the EC Network, will be vulnerable to attacks from anywhere on the Internet. It is your responsibility to properly secure your system. Failure to do so may result in damage to your system, and/or the suspension of networking services, until you demonstrate to the CIS that the security problem has been resolved. It is imperative that you maintain a current anti-virus program that is active anytime your computer is operational.
Network Security Scanning: To assist users with detection of vulnerabilities to attacks, the CIS will run random security scans of connected systems. The purpose of these scans is to assess the vulnerability of systems to attack, not to view network content.
Networking Systems Maintenance: Occasionally, maintenance is required on various components of the EC Network systems. EC reserves the right to preempt use of the network for maintenance whenever necessary. However, the DIS will make every effort to provide users with appropriate notice, and will perform maintenance at off-peak hours whenever possible.
Legal Liability: Emmanuel College shall not be held legally responsible, or liable, for any damage caused to computer systems by connection to the EC Network, power source, recommendations or actions of support personnel, or faulty documentation. Users should access network resources, documentation materials, and advice from support personnel with discretion.
Failure to Comply: Emmanuel College reserves the right to disconnect - without prior notice - any connection violating the terms of this document, the Acceptable Use Policies, the Information Systems Student Policies manual, or the "Georgia Computer Systems Protection Act Of 1991, Amended 1996" . Any violations of these policies will be handled through EC Student Life disciplinary actions and/or Legal Authorities. If you are disconnected for any reason any money collected is NONREFUNDABLE.

Meghan Linsey Performs 'Tennessee Whiskey' on 'The Voice' [Watch]
Meghan Linsey tackled a country classic during The Voice semi-finals Monday night (May 11), performing the George Jones song "Tennessee Whiskey."
Meghan Linsey tackled a country classic during The Voice semi-finals Monday night (May 11), performing the George Jones song "Tennessee Whiskey."
For the first time in a long time, Meghan Linsey is writing with regularity.
It's been a tumultuous couple of months for Steel Magnolia. First, Joshua Scott Jones headed to rehab. Then, it was rumored that he and partner Meghan Linsey had broken up both as a couple and as a group. The duo was also dropped by its label, Big Machine. Jones recently confirmed that he and Linsey were indeed professionally entwined without commenting on their personal relationship, and now, the group has announced a handful of tour dates that are sprinkled throughout 2012.
Country duo Steel Magnolia canceled a concert in Greenville, Tenn. and set off a whirlwind of rumors about their personal and professional relationships. TriCities.com was the first to report about a potential breakup after the group pulled out of a March 24 tour stop.
STEEL MAGNOLIA'S MEGHAN LINSEY and JOSHUA SCOTT JONES decided to duck into a bathroom somewhere on the road and start singing. And like everybody does these days, they recorded their little masterpiece.
The country music duo that got their big break from a TV talent show, "Can You Duet", will perform in Texarkana, Friday February 11th at The Coliseum, 401 Broad Street in downtown Texarkana.

Sarah Palin: Pitbull, Lioness
She'll defend her cubs! And grandcubs. And babydaddycubs.
Say what you will about her mothering skills, Sarah Palin is a dogged defender of her children and the boys who impregnate them. The Alaska governor released a statement regarding reports about her new granddaughter that note that Levi Johnston dropped out of high school. He and Bristol Palin, she says, "are working their butts off to parent and going to school and working at the same time." (Levi previously said he'd stopped attending classes to work, but he's now pursuing a degree online.) Any report otherwise "harms Bristol's reputation and Levi's reputation and their chances for good work opportunities." As opposed to not even blinking before deciding to drag them into the public eye for months of mass scrutiny and criticism during the pregnancy. That was great for everybody's reputation.
Palin's Last Word [WP]

Regional Economic Growth and Human Capital: The Role of Overeducation
The paper analyses the link between human capital and regional economic growth in the European Union. Using various indicators of human capital calculated from census microdata, we conclude that the recent economic performance of European regions is associated with an increase in overeducation. In fact, measures of educational mismatch seem to be more strongly connected to regional economic performance than do other traditional measures of human capital stock.

"How Peggy came to Peggy's Cove" Top 5 Page for this destination Peggy's Cove by King_Golo
Peggy's Cove Travel Guide: 66 reviews and 277 photos
Peggy's Cove is proud home of the world's most often photographed lighthouse - I don't know who counted the number of photographs taken, but I immediately believe it. Despite the village's only 40 inhabitants, several hundreds or thousands of tourists visit daily just to take a picture of the oh-so-famous lighthouse. I thought that this would be a tourist trap par excellence and had more or less decided on visiting only shortly, but of course Peggy's Cove's charme captured me immediately...
By the way: Peggy really existed! A small plaque close to the VIC tells you, how the village got its name. Peggy was travelling to Halifax by boat to meet her future husband when the ship sank on the rocks in the cove. She was rescued by people living there and given her nickname "Peggy of the cove". Whether she still made it to Halifax to meet her fianc� I do not know... maybe she too fell in love with Peggy's Cove?
Have a look at my Peggy's Cove tips, visit other nice places in Atlantic Canada, such as Prospect, Kejimkujik NP Seaside Adjunct or Clyde River - or continue your tour of my pages here!
- Pros:A picturesque place like hardly any other
- Cons:Hordes of tourists
- In a nutshell:More than the lighthouse - go and discover it!

Picture the scene - you're hosting a New Year's Eve party for your friends and want to serve them something delicious to drink, something more original than the New Year's Eve classic known as 'all the Champagne'. The obvious answer here is, of course, cocktails. But you don't want to spend your whole evening mixing drinks, missing out on all the frivolities or, worse still, the countdown to the New Year! The solution? Get a world-famous bartender to do literally all of the work for you!
This is, in fact, entirely possible because the spectacular range of Mr. Lyan pre-bottled cocktails exists! Much like the drinks served in Ryan Chetiyawardana's White Lyan (crowned Best New International Cocktail Bar at the Tales of the Cocktail Spirited Awards 2014), these little rascals are ready to serve straight from your fridge, letting you ring in the new year in effortless style. Tasty, tasty style.

Kiwi clothing brand Icebreaker has launched an online store
in time to capitalise on the Christmas shopping frenzy.
The Wellington-based company has already been selling its
merino clothing range online in the US, Canada and Europe,
but not previously in its home country.
Icebreaker founder and chief executive Jeremy Moon said its
new e-commerce site would complement the brand's presence in
stores throughout the country and in its TouchLab stores in
Wellington and Auckland.
"It's no secret that online shopping is the fastest growing
channel in retail today, with clothing showing some of the
highest growth," he said.
"Our customers are increasingly demanding choice. They want
to be able to choose to shop either directly from a brand, or
from a retailer with a wide variety of brands."
Icebreaker was founded by Moon in 1994 and now supplies about
3,000 stores in more than 30 countries.
A name, residential address, and (preferably residential) telephone number is required from readers who comment on ODT Online. These details will not be visible to site visitors.

Several weeks ago, we received a "poem" – for lack of a better word – that just recently was included in a mass-mailing aimed at Trimble County voters.
Whether the individual or group who sent it to our office meant for it to be published, I don't know. But, we didn't – for two reasons.

Great foreshortening and perspective work.
Lovely but a shame photo is so small.
is it weird that something as beautiful as this makes me think that it would be a great way to kill someone in a horror flick
very sexy, cool view.

Wow this pictur looks really confusing at the first sight...great work
"good" photos are a dime a dozen, but some people know what separates "good" from great. Keep that shutter snapping. You are gifted with a camera.
I thought this was a painting at first. Excellent composition!
Artistic Nude the way its meant.
I love this photo! It's nude and even though her legs are splayed I don't feel anything very sexualized about it at all, it's the perfect balance.
Fantastic. Love the colors and the highlights. Great job!
Really wonderful picture, the perspective is pretty neat and makes it feel surreal and more beautiful than normal .. feels like she is emerging from a wall of water.
I want that shower, my shower looks like crap in comparison.
Excellent. The pose, color and contrast, her expression/emotion.
It's a nice photo - delicate, not so much erotic, but eye catching. And if you cropped it a bit more at the right, it would've looked even more cool
A very original angle!!
I feel her pain.
I too wish for a day when full sized bath tubs fit a full person.
I too wish for a day when full sized bath tubs fit a full person.
The angle of photo bring me here....its great!
Now THIS is how you make artistic nude.
I am very curious of how you where able to take the picture at such a(to me) difficult angle. For some reason in my head I picture a camera suctioned cupped to the wall.
Absolutely beautiful.
This photo is rad! The angle, the pose, the water... Just so gorgeous!
she looks so relaxed. It's kinda funny almost.
Very inusual perspective for a nude shot. Good work!
A lot of women on their backs in the recent Daily Devations.
Great shot, model and pose. Thank You and congrats on the DD.
Beautiful picture!
I love those tiles...... Seriously, I'd love to redo my bathroom like that.
I'm jelly of that wonderful bathtub! Is that marble?
Those boobs are asymetrical, bitch.
No one's body is symmetrical, so it doesn't matter.
People like you Monecranestpourri, should not be allowed on art sites. If you want to look at pornagraphic pictures go somewhere else because, this is art.
I don't like boobs so I couldn't care less boo.
And yeah I know this is art. But those boobs are ugly.
And yeah I know this is art. But those boobs are ugly.
And that comment of yours is insensitive and stupid, get lost.

A Senate bill that would have given Oklahoma's higher education institutions additional exemptions to the state Open Records Act was vetoed Wednesday by Gov. Mary Fallin.
"The expansion of exceptions to the Open Records Act serves only to limit public access to information," Fallin said in her veto message.
The Open Records Act exemptions higher education institutions were seeking through Senate Bill 1577 concerned things like proprietary information, business plans, trade secrets, marketing plans and similar information that might be submitted by individuals seeking economic advice.
Fallin, however, said the confidentially of such items is already covered by a state law that says no public agency is required to produce records if "disclosure would give an unfair advantage to competitors."
"Because these concerns are protected by current law, the expansion of exceptions to the Open Records Act is not necessary," Fallin stated.

5 reviews | 4.4 out of 5
I was so excited to make my own popsicles that I bought two (2) pop makers! One of them was cracked already and had to be returned. The other was disappointing to me after I used it, mainly for reasons which I should have anticipated had I not made an excited "impulse buy"-- but with the low price who can turn down $3 pop makers? ...well, I should have! Downsides to the product: it's a little tricky to get just one pop put at a time since there all all attached to the single mold. Run the one you want under warm water for a few seconds and it will come out fairly easily-- but do not turn the handle any way but straight out-- my mold almost cracked from my twisting. Plus, the tops of the molds (handles) do not fit perfectly into the mold for all the pops, which causes increased concern about the mold cracking. Also, the size may be perfect for children, but for my husband and other adults these mini-sized pops are just a pop appetizer. For these reasons, I do not recommend impulse buying these pop makers-- spend a little more on something more user-friendly and durable.
OMG!!! I love these. Got them last night and we are already enjoying frozen yogurt pops (one yobaby container of yogurt makes two pops), the kids already had pickle pops made with pickle juice. I want to make coffee pops, pudding pops, soda pops, all sorts of healthy options without the sugary kinds you get in the stores pre packaged. The ideas are endless. I love that these have handles for when my infant starts to teethe but big brother and sister have a larger handle too so it's not as awkward as those 99 cent ice pop molds that are super flimsy. These are thicker and better built. My ONLY gripe is that they probably are not dishwasher safe because of the seam in the handle. don't want to waste 3 bucks if they do get damaged. But on the other hand I'm just being lazy and should just wash them by hand so we can fill them again faster and not wait for a wash cycle to be finished. A must for HOT SUMMER DAY treats for kids and adults alike. Enjoy!! 4 stars for value because they could be a little less, but still worth it. 4 stars for durability because one of the molds was broke when I got it home, because I couldn't tell under the packaging though I'm sure if I had actually examined it better I would have found that it was broken. I'll just return it and get another, the other 3 molds I got (4 different colors at the Walmart where I purchased them) the company also has a satisfaction guarantee on the product itself. A tip to get them out of the mold easier just run it (the outside) under cold water for a second to release it and pull. I just wish we had more freezer space I'd get a dozen more, they go fast!! Again enjoy as we have!!
This mold works fantastically! It is really easy to use and makes great Popsicles! I have not had any issues removing the poipsicles from the mold. It also seems to be very durable. Even after dropping it on a tile floor, it has stayed in one piece!
These are perfect for my one year old daughter. I love to make fruit smoothies and freeze them into healthy pops for her. She loves them! The only problem I had is that it's sometimes difficult to pop the tops in and I need to fiddle with it for a while. Also, one of the pops broke when my daughter threw it down for the millionth time. But you can't beat the price and overall I've been satisfied. In fact, I'm about to by two more.
I just purchased two of these ice pop makers from a local WalMart today, one in pink & the other in blue. My husband, I & our kids just love these mini pops because of the fact that we can make these pops as healthy as we want & however we want, it's fresh! No more store bought Popsicles! I only gave it 4 stars because of the difficulty with the pop sticks not fitting into the molds securely which causes me to have to move the pop sticks to different molds until I feel like it fits tight enough. I would also like to add that once my husband & I are finished with the 1st pop, we quickly start on our 2nd pop! I just wish these pops were much more larger for us adults for the price, because we just can't eat one!

Katrina and voting rights
New Orleans boosters are throwing Mardi Gras celebrations that end on Fat Tuesday, Feb. 28. But there is plenty the people of the "Big Easy" are not celebrating, starting with the criminal negligence of the Bush-Cheney administration before and after the levees broke and flooded their homes last summer. They are still waiting for anything close to an adequate response to the humanitarian crisis that has cut New Orleans' population by half, the rest scattered in a vast diaspora across the country.
Tax breaks for the wealthy
On Jan. 1 Congress allowed two tax breaks that benefit the wealthy to become effective. The cuts eliminated current provisions of the tax code that limit the amount of personal exemptions and itemized deductions that Americans with high incomes can take. Over the course of the next five years the tax cuts will cost approximately $27 billion, according to a study by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities

No raise for Californias poorest
STOCKTON, Calif. — Prize-winning poet and author Sotere Torregian, author of 14 books of poetry, has been disabled and unable to earn a living since 1989. His only income is Supplemental Security Income (SSI) — $812 a month in 2005 — and the occasional honorarium from giving a university lecture once or twice a year.
New Yorkers battle for school funding
NEW YORK — "My kids' school has no gym and no playground," said a mother who sends two of her children to P.S. 51 in the Bronx. "Last year we had to add a new class, which meant we had to move the library to make space for a classroom. Next year we have to add another class."
Fallen soldiers families push plan to end war
CLEVELAND — Parents of a Marine killed in Iraq are building support for a plan to end the war through a negotiated political settlement with a phased withdrawal of U.S. troops. The plan is predicated on a measured reduction in violence by all involved.

PORTLAND, Ore. — A capacity crowd in the Friends Meeting House here celebrated the life of Susan Elizabeth Wheeler Feb. 11 with songs, laughter, tears and heartfelt memories of her contributions to the people's movements.
Wave of voter outrage could swamp Republicans
Tim Burga of the Ohio AFL-CIO says "there's a real mood for change" in his state. Noting the impact of deaths of Ohio soldiers in Iraq, the loss of manufacturing jobs and national and local corruption scandals, Burga says Ohioans are "really frustrated" with the Bush administration and Republicans.

Iran Unveils Historical Maps To Prove Name Of Persian GultRoundup: Talking About History
Unsigned, The New Zealand Herald, 12/21/04
Last month, Iran banned the sale of National Geographic Society publications to protest against the"Arabian Gulf" inclusion. The issue has also caused widespread protests by Iranian intellectuals, historians, students and expatriate Iranians. Foreign Minister Kamal Kharrazi, who inaugurated the exhibition of ancient and historical maps, said the name of the Persian Gulf could not be changed."Presenting historical evidences here is merely for the sake of reiteration," he said. National Geographic said it recognised Persian Gulf as the primary name but used Arabian Gulf alongside it to make is easier for users searching for that designation.

Love is in the air, which has gotten me to thinking about lighting. (Come to think of it, what time of year doesn't do that?) If Valentine's Day always gives you a hankering to pop Gone With the Wind or your favorite rom-com into the DVD player, have you ever thought about what goes into making those romantic films?
I'd say lighting plays a big part in inspiring emotional reactions from film viewers, and is especially important in romantic movies.
Imagine a scene. A man and a woman are sitting at a table. In the first take, the lights are bright, and the whole room looks cheery. In the second, the lights are dim and the couple is ensconced in shadow. The entire feel of the scene is altered by one simple lighting change.
So, how do you create the right lighting for a romantic scene? Here are some guidelines:
1. Color Temperature.

Mt. Spokane prevails in showdown
Wow, the Mt. Spokane/Mead volleyball match last night turned out to be everything as advertised between the two top-ranked 3A and 4A teams in the state.
Mike Vlahovich was there for us to file a story, and he said it was a packed house at Mead. Too bad these teams just play once in league. I suspect they could face off at the Crossover tourney next month. A team that could still have a say in the crowing of a league champ is Central Valley.
Pictured above is Annie Arnzen of Mt. Spokane hitting through a Mead block.

Chow Happy New Year Recipe
posted by December 28 at 17:34 PMon
OK, admittedly, I'm posting this in part to knock Josh's Freedom Socialist press release off the bottom of Slog. BUT, that doesn't mean you shouldn't guarantee yourself luck and riches with black-eyed peas and greens on New Year's Day, believed to bring prosperity because they resemble coins and cash. (Why it's called Hoppin' John, meanwhile, has been the subject of lengthy speculation). Anyway, here's a recipe I like from the Lee Brothers' Southern Cookbook, which I own and love.
Hoppin' John
1 cup dried black-eyed peas or field peas (You can also substitute fresh, often available this time of year; just omit the soaking step and cook until tender.)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 smoked hog jowl, or 1/4 pound (3 strips) thick-cut smoked bacon
1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon salt
5 or 6 peeled whole tomatoes, or half a 28-ounce can, drained (optional)
1 1/2 cups uncooked rice.
1. Wash the peas in a strainer, and soak them for 4 hours in ample fresh water. When ready, heat olive oil over medium-high heat in a 4-quart pot, and brown the hog jowl on both sides. (If using bacon, omit the olive oil, and simply render the fat in the pot for 5 minutes.) Add onion, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add 6 cups water, black pepper, red pepper and salt, and bring to a boil.
2. Let mixture boil 10 minutes, and then add peas. Maintain a low boil, uncovered, until peas are nearly tender (25 minutes for black-eyed peas, 30 minutes for field peas). In a bowl, lightly crush tomatoes, and add to pot. Add rice to pot, reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, 20 minutes.
3. Turn off flame, and allow hoppin' John to steam in pot, lid on, for 5 minutes. If using hog jowl, remove from pot, and shred meat. Fluff hoppin' John, and add shredded jowl. Serve.

Politics as Pop Culture
Play The Game: Is It The Debate, Or Is It 'Survivor'?
Last night, I was watching Survivor, but many other people were watching the presidential debate. As it turned out, it was a little difficult to tell which was which, because both contain strong elements of tribalism, loyalty, conflict, dominance, vows of integrity, and plenty more. Thus, I was driven to put together a little game, with the help of NPR's brilliant Multimedia team, in which you can try to match some of the evening's quotes to the contestants or contenders who spoke them.
So take yourself over to the game, and let me know how you did.

School Violence: Expert Advice on What Can Be Done
What can schools do? continued...
There need to be dialogues between teachers and children about feelings, issues, values -- not Christian values necessarily, just good moral standards. Schools need to address the needs of children with access to the Internet. There's also the problem of kids who just don't get along with their teachers. In many schools, the teacher is always considered to be right, and the student is always wrong. It's a serious problem that needs to be addressed.
I do not believe that schools should be punitive. In the Santana High School incident, they're keeping kids who knew the boy [was talking about committing the assault] out of school. That is excess punishment of innocent people. These kids need attention, love; they need to be put to positive tasks.
Multiple suspensions, truancy -- those are the earliest signs school officials should look for. There should be some assessment of parents' involvement. When parents are antagonistic toward the school, they train their kids to be antagonistic. Those parents are hurtful to the child and school, and it's the child who is hurt in the long run.
L. Hoffman: Schools must have a very strict policy about teasing -- that it is not allowed and that teachers need to have a group discussion about it with the children. Also, teachers should not let themselves get involved when teasing occurs. It's very easy for bystanders to get vicarious gratification in watching others get teased. That's what slapstick comedy is all about. Teachers cannot let that happen. Teachers have to make sure they communicate a value of respect among all the kids. Whenever any teasing does happen, they must deal with it immediately.
Schools need to really listen to kids who communicate a problem and if necessary, refer them for professional evaluation either within or outside the school. These are troubled kids, angry kids; they're not "bad" kids. It's not a group phenomenon.
S. Hoffman: One of most important things schools can do is educate kids about the importance of reporting threats and setting up a system for kids to do that -- an anonymous 800 number. San Diego has a tip number for drugs and violence, and I've heard it's been successful. Also, make sure kids know the importance of reporting.
