Congress passed legislation that, if signed as expected by President Obama, will allow companies to raise capital more easily in both the private and public markets. As reported in our client alert dated March 14, 2012, the House of Representatives passed a version of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, or "JOBS" Act, on March 8, 2012. On March 22, 2012, the Senate approved a substantially similar version of the legislation with an amendment related to "crowdfunding." On March 27, 2012, the House approved the Senate version of the legislation. Now that the House and Senate have reached agreement on the final version of the legislation, the JOBS Act will become law once signed by President Obama.
The purpose of the JOBS Act is to increase job creation and economic growth by improving access to private and public capital. The legislation will make it easier for (i) private companies to raise capital through private offerings and (ii) "emerging growth companies" to go public, and once public, to raise additional funds in the capital markets. We expect that, when approved by President Obama, the legislation will encourage more companies to pursue initial public offerings, subject to market conditions, and to increase activity in the private markets.
Public Capital Formation
The JOBS Act will amend the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to create a new category of issuer referred to as an "emerging growth company." The legislation will facilitate the ability of emerging growth companies to raise funds in the public capital markets. By easing regulatory burdens, the legislation is designed to encourage private emerging growth companies to pursue initial public offerings, and to facilitate raising additional funds in the capital markets once public. The legislation will create a transitional process, or "on ramp," by which emerging growth companies will transition to the full rigors of SEC compliance through a combination of scaled disclosure requirements and transitional compliance burdens. It also includes provisions that will enable eligible companies to communicate more freely with institutional investors to determine their interest in a potential IPO.
The provisions of the JOBS Act are designed to lead to broader analyst coverage of emerging growth companies by allowing analysts to publish research prior to, during and after an offering, as well as by allowing analysts to meet more freely with companies and institutional investors. Companies will also be entitled to file a registration statement with the SEC on a confidential basis, and maintain a confidential registration process, until up to 21 days prior to the commencement of a road show. The freer communication rules are intended to assist a private company to assess the viability of an IPO, while preserving the confidentiality of sensitive financial and competitive information until such time as it is prepared to commence marketing through a road show process.
"Emerging growth companies" that will benefit from the new regime will include any company that, during its most recently completed fiscal year at the time of registration with the SEC, had less than $1 billion in annual gross revenues. Full compliance with the SEC's reporting requirements will be required after the earliest of (i) such time that the company generates $1 billion or more in annual revenues, becomes a "large accelerated filer" (at least 12 months of reporting history and $700 million in public float), or raises more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt in the prior three years, and (ii) five years following the company's IPO. The legislation generally only provides benefits to companies that have not yet effected an IPO or have done so very recently. A company is ineligible to be considered an emerging growth company if it has already completed its initial public offering such that the date of first sale of public equity occurred on or before December 8, 2011.
The scaled disclosure requirements and streamlined communication rules under the legislation will include:
Private Capital Formation
The JOBS Act will facilitate the private offering process by (1) eliminating the prohibition on general solicitation or advertising for offerings under Rule 506 of Regulation D to accredited investors and for secondary sales under Rule 144A to qualified institutional buyers; (2) lifting the cap on Regulation A offerings from $5 million to $50 million; and (3) creating an exemption for so-called "crowdfunding." The legislation will also ease broker-dealer registration requirements for intermediaries that facilitate offerings under Rule 506 of Regulation D.
In terms of easing requirements regarding general solicitations, Rule 506 of Regulation D will be amended to permit general solicitation and general advertising, as long as all purchasers are accredited investors. The prohibitions in Rule 144A offerings on general solicitation, general advertising and making offers to investors who are not qualified institutional buyers will be eliminated, as long as all purchasers are qualified institutional buyers. Reasonable steps must be taken to verify that purchasers are accredited investors or qualified institutional buyers, as applicable, using as-yet undetermined procedures.
Regulation A currently provides an exemption from registration for securities offerings by non-reporting companies, not to exceed $5 million per year, but requires companies to file offering documents with the SEC and in states where offers are made. Regulation A allows companies to "test the waters" for interest in a proposed offering, does not limit solicitations to particular investors, and, moreover, immediately after an offering, the securities are not subject to any transfer restrictions. The exemption permits general solicitation activities within specified parameters. However, due to the costs of SEC review and the low offering threshold, the exemption has rarely been used.
By raising the offering threshold under Regulation A to $50 million in any 12-month period, the JOBS Act should make the exemption more attractive to some issuers. However, issuers will be required to file audited financials with the SEC annually, and the SEC may impose further reporting requirements, such as filing offering statements (including audited financial statements). Offerings under Regulation A, furthermore, will remain subject to state blue sky laws in many if not most cases, with pre-emption only under narrow circumstances.
"Crowdfunding" describes a method of raising capital, usually through the Internet, among people who network and pool money, typically in very small individual contributions. The JOBS Act will permit crowdfunding up to $1 million per year in the aggregate. Sales to individual investors who have an annual income or net worth of less than $100,000 will be limited to the greater of $2,000 and 5% of an investor's annual income or net worth, as applicable. Sales to individual investors who have an annual income or net worth equal to or more than $100,000 can reach 10% of an investor's annual income or net worth, as applicable, not to exceed a maximum annual amount of $100,000.
An intermediary (a broker or "funding portal") must be used in the transaction and must, among other things, meet certain registration requirements, ensure that investors understand the risks of the investment and can bear the burden of losing the investment, act to reduce the risk of fraud, and monitor investment amounts and limits.
Eligible companies will have to provide certain information to investors, the intermediary and potential investors (and file it with the SEC), and will also have ongoing reporting requirements, including disclosure of a target offering amount and deadline, and regular progress updates. Certain restrictions on advertising offering terms and compensating intermediaries will also apply, as will restrictions on resale of the securities.
Another provision of the JOBS Act will make it easier for private companies to raise capital from investors without triggering the registration requirements under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act. Under current law, a company is required to register a class of securities under the Exchange Act once such class is held of record by 500 or more shareholders and the company has in excess of $10 million in assets. Many private companies restrict offering activity for fear that a growing shareholder base will trigger public registration requirements. The legislation will significantly increase the threshold to 2,000 shareholders of record, or 500 persons who are not "accredited investors" as defined in Regulation D. The new rule will exclude from the calculation (i) employees who obtained equity under employee compensation plans in reliance on exemptions from registration and (ii) investors who purchased securities pursuant to the crowdfunding exemption.

I have never been involved in this type of thread so I am happy to answer.
I would never leave my baby in the car, awake or asleep. I do think you take a risk doing it and it's not a risk I want to take.
I avoid going to get petrol when I have dd with me for this reason.
I am sorry some people were rude to you about opening this thread there is nothing wrong with starting new ones as there are plenty of new members who would get involved in discussion.
So, by right, you are supposed to drive the car and park it as close to where the pay station is, as possible. It is for safety of the child.
I often have an issue with driving the car away from the pump and parking in front of the station entrance because I am afraid that the station staff mightthink that I am trying to nick off without paying. So, they told me that I could wave at the camera before driving and they will know that I am moving the car and not driving off.
I normally would still carry my baby out of the car because I just don't feel safe for him to stay in the car with all the petrol and fumes in the air.
Use your own judgement, you are the mum
I leave mine in the car. There is no way I am battling taking a 5 and 2 year old into the petrol station with me, it is so much easier to leave them! I have on occasion though filled up with petrol then driven right up to the door at the front, got out and paid
Leave mine in the car...
A user on here called Beebs I think, posted the laws for this.
It is not illegal to leave your kids in the car while you pay for fuel......you can not be fined for it.
I have 4...I leave them in the car, not getting them all out to wander through the traffic and hope none of them get hit by a car.
It's my little 5 minutes of sanity walking into that store to pay......also, no-one is going to steal my car with my 4 feral screaming children and it's huge fule guzzling tank- I think it's pretty safe.
My husband works 14-15 hour days- leaving it until we are all together or for him to do would mean I'd probably be walking everywhere.
I leave my 5 in the car. I always have and always will.
Infact most of the time the children pump it and pay for it.
If my six year old is with me I leave them in the car if he isn't then I take them out. That's in my home town where there are only 2 petrol pumps maybe 3-4 meters from the shop if I'm up the coast I take them out every time.

La Costa Del Sur Dental
Some people have a bright, white smile, but sometimes a bright white smile is not sufficient enough. Even if a person gets their teeth whitened, there still could be something wrong with the teeth making them feel insecure. The teeth could be either broken, cracked or have gaps, these imperfections involve more of a permanent answer to fix a smile the way a person wants it. A person can gain confidence fast just by getting Lumineers. San Diego Lumineers by Cerinate is the solution to permanently fix teeth imperfections. Lumineers can be placed right on the teeth at our dentist office. They are made to be as thin as a contact lens. The procedure is quick so you can enjoy your new bright white smile in just the matter of around two dental appointments with us. A lot of people tend to get Lumineers and other cosmetic dentistry mixed up. An example of this, some people tend to believe veneers are a similar solution as Lumineers. Veneers actually are a whole different procedure when each of the veneers is applied compared to Lumineers. When a patient has veneers applied, the patient has to have shots in the mouth along with having teeth shaved to a thin strip just to apply one veneer. The patient tends to have up to severe pain after the procedure because of the process that was just completed.Patients should not have any concerns with Lumineers, as there is no shaving of the teeth or no shots in the mouth while applying the Lumineers. We will only do a little etching of the teeth and apply the Lumineer right to the tooth. With the procedure of Lumineers, it prevents the patient from going through the pain since the sensitive part of the tooth is not being touched. Once we are done with the patient, the patient then leaves with no pain along with having a new smile they can feel confident about all because of the new Lumineers.Lumineers are a hot trend in cosmetic dentistry for many reasons. Lumineers are easy to apply with no shots or painful drilling. Lumineers have been proven to last for over 20 years. If you would like to know more about Lumineers contact us today to schedule a dentist appointment. If you are interested to see if you are a candidate for Lumineers, please feel free to inquire.

Alttara; I tried that, in the past two years running; and used about a half
teaspoon to a full teaspoon of sugar in a quart preserving jar, with a few
drops of Javex bleach. Last year, I tried adding a bit of SUPER'thrive
(magic fertilizer?) but nothing outstanding happened as a result of this.
The pods on mid-season bloomers ripened nicely; providing germination
however, the late bloomers like for example H. longipes 'Grand Slam'
produced seed which looked good, but it sprouted nothing! About the only
sure method, to ripen seed of the late flowering hostas, is to pot them up;
and bring them into a sunny window until the pods show slits; and harvest
the seed, and then, put the dormant plant into 35 to 37* Fahrenheit
refrigeration for 6 to 8 weeks. Two years ago, I brought Grand Slam
indoors to ripen seeds, and would you believe, the seed did not start
splitting until mid-February, when it was collected. This selfed seed
provided excellent germination. My garage is insulated and heated, and in
mid-February we are like into minus 20 degrees of frost, so it is rather
easy to provide the dormancy to hostas via garage storage until spring.
I personally, don't believe the *cut scape in sugary-water plus bleach
routine* can be successful in maturing seeds of the late season blooming
hosta varieties, but then, this is just one person's opinion, right? I've
never had any success with late blooming longipes types in sugar water,
since the flower stem seems to simply rot away after a couple of months,
but then, maybe the water needed changing every few days, since it does get
murky looking quite fast, even with the bleach added?
nothwithstanding, I hope this is helpful to you

Information Technology: Federal Agencies Need to Address Aging Legacy Systems
GAO-16-468: Published: May 25, 2016. Publicly Released: May 25, 2016.
The federal government spent about 75 percent of the total amount budgeted for information technology (IT) for fiscal year 2015 on operations and maintenance (O&M) investments. Such spending has increased over the past 7 fiscal years, which has resulted in a $7.3 billion decline from fiscal years 2010 to 2017 in development, modernization, and enhancement activities.Total Federal IT Spending by Ty...
Food Safety: FDA Coordinating with Stakeholders on New Rules but Challenges Remain and Greater Tribal Consultation Needed
GAO-16-425: Published: May 19, 2016. Publicly Released: May 19, 2016.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) took numerous steps to ensure meaningful and timely input from nonfederal officials during development of the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA)-mandated rules on produce, human food, and animal food but did not fully meet its tribal consultation responsibilities. Among other things, FDA—an agency within the Department of Health and Human Services (HH...
Rural Housing Service: Actions Needed to Strengthen Management of the Single Family Mortgage Guarantee Program
GAO-16-193: Published: Mar 31, 2016. Publicly Released: May 2, 2016.
The estimated credit subsidy costs (expected net lifetime costs) of single-family mortgages guaranteed by the Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Rural Housing Service (RHS) substantially increased in recent years, partly due to high losses from the 2007 through 2011 housing crisis. For example, the fiscal year 2013 and 2014 reestimates (which federal agencies must do annually) indicated higher exp...
Technology Assessment: Municipal freshwater scarcity: Using technology to improve distribution system efficiency and tap nontraditional water sources
GAO-16-474: Published: Apr 29, 2016. Publicly Released: Apr 29, 2016.
Water scarcity occurs when the demand for water in a given area approaches or exceeds available water supplies. A water utility facing scarcity may attempt to address it by reducing its demand on existing water supplies, increasing its water supplies, or both. Many mature technologies are available to address both of these areas. For example, a utility could try to improve the efficiency of its di...
Tribal Internet Access: Increased Federal Coordination and Performance Measurement Needed
GAO-16-504T: Published: Apr 27, 2016. Publicly Released: Apr 27, 2016.
In January 2016, GAO found that, although all 21 tribes GAO interviewed have some access to high-speed Internet, barriers to increasing access remain. Tribal officials and Internet providers said that high poverty rates among tribes and the high costs of connecting remote tribal villages to core Internet networks limit high-speed Internet availability and access. About half of the tribes GAO inter...
Tongass National Forest: Forest Service's Actions Related to Its Planned Timber Program Transition
GAO-16-456: Published: Apr 25, 2016. Publicly Released: Apr 25, 2016.
The Forest Service has initiated some steps to assess whether its planned transition to young-growth harvest on the Tongass National Forest will support a viable timber industry in southeast Alaska—a goal the Department of Agriculture (USDA) established as part of the transition. For example, the Forest Service reported refining the data it uses to estimate the amount of young-growth timber to b...

gamma-herpesviruses are associated with the development of lymphoproliferative disorders and lymphomas, particularly in immunosuppressed individuals. Importantly, a detailed understanding of how chronic virus infection is established and maintained may identify possible targets for interfering with viral persistence in the host. Unfortunately, the human ?-herpesviruses (EBV and KSHV) have very narrow host tropism, thus limiting detailed studies of host-pathogen interactions. MHV68 infection of mice provides a tractable small animal model system for characterizing the role of specific genes in viral pathogenesis and maintenance of chronic infection. We have previously shown that the MHV68 M2 latency-associated antigen plays a critical role in both the establishment of latency and reactivation of MHV68 from infected B cells. Furthermore, our recent studies have shown that M2 induces an IL-10 dependent proliferation and differentiation of primary murine B cells - reminiscent of EBV-driven differentiation of primary human B cells. M2 regulation of cellular IL-10 expression is particularly intriguing given that EBV encodes an IL-10 homolog whose function during virus infection has remained enigmatic. In addition, M2 can drive terminal differentiation of latently infected B cells to plasma cells, with concomitant reactivation of MHV68. Notably, plasma cell differentiation has also been linked to EBV and KSHV reactivation - indicating that virus regulation of plasma cell differentiation is likely a conserved strategy among gammaherpesviruses. Characterization of MHV68 M2 antigen function is expected to reveal cellular pathways that are manipulated by ?-herpesviruses to facilitate persistence and reactivation from B cells, and may ultimately identify targets for the development of anti-viral drugs. We propose the follow 3 specific aims:
Aim 1. Pathogenesis of M2 mutants in vivo: (1.a) Investigate route- and dose-dependent phenotypes of M2 mutants; (1.b) Analysis of M2 mutant phenotypes in mice lacking an adaptive antibody response;and (1.c) Analysis of B cell lines immortalized with MHV68 harboring mutations in the M2 gene.
Aim 2. Regulation of M2 expression: (2.a) Identification of cell types expressing M2 in vivo; (2.b) Map and characterize cis-elements regulating M2 gene expression during latency.
Aim 3. M2 manipulation of B cell signaling pathways: (3.a) Characterize M2 modulation of B cell signaling pathways and cellular gene expression; (3.b) Identification of M2-interacting proteins; (3.c) Characterize M2 induction of IL-10 expression;and (3.d) Characterize M2-mediated events in plasma cell differentiation.
Murine gammaherpesvirus 68 (MHV68) infection of mice provides a tractable small animal model for characterizing chronic gammaherpesvirus infections - which in some settings (e.g., immunocompromised individuals) are associated with the development of lymphoproliferative disorders and lymphomas, as well as several other cancers. The importance of this model is underscored by the narrow host tropism of the human gammaherpesviruses, Epstein-Barr virus and Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus, and thus the absence of appropriate animal models for these viruses. During the previous funding period we have discovered that expression of the MHV68 latency-associated M2 antigen in B cells drives cellular proliferation, IL-10 expression, antibody class switch recombination and plasma cell differentiation - the latter being linked to virus reactivation. Although the M2 antige is unique to MHV68, the functions of M2 have close parallels in the human gammaherpesviruses - indicating that further characterization of the M2 antigen will provide important new insights into cellular pathways that are targeted by gammaherpesviruses and may ultimately identify targets for the development of antiviral therapies effective against chroni gammaherpesvirus infections.

Angel Investors Target Science, Technology Startups
A Propel(x) survey finds that nearly one-third (31 percent) of investors cite solving some of the world's biggest challenges as their main motivation.An overwhelming majority (94 percent) of active investment angels believe it helps to have subject-matter experts weigh in when they evaluate a startup investment opportunity, according to a Propel(x) survey of 200 aspiring and active angel investors in the United States. The survey found the majority of active angels have invested in a science and technology startup (68 percent), but half of respondents very frequently (21 percent) or somewhat often (29 percent) decide not to invest because they don't believe they understand the technology well enough. "I was pleased to see an overall high interest in science and technology startups, and it's good news that only 1.32 percent of those who haven't invested are not interested in science and tech companies," Swati Chaturvedi, CEO and co-founder of Propel(x), told eWEEK. "The disconnect often comes down to a lack of understanding the technology well enough to invest; helping investors overcome this information or knowledge gap is crucial to facilitating investing." When asked to rank the top three types of science-based companies that are of most interest, the three categories receiving support from more than half of angels were information technology and communications (66 percent), life sciences (56 percent) and energy and green technologies (53 percent).
Survey results found that while nearly half of active angel investors (49 percent) ranked the potential for investment returns as their top motivator for investing in startups, nearly one-third (31 percent) ranked solving some of the world's biggest challenges as their main motivation.

This now got worksforme between 2007-01-04 and 2007-01-05:
It seems that this was somehow fixed by bug 333078?
So I guess this bug can be resolved then, right?
I don't think so. If it's just something that's hidden because of when the cycle collector happens to run or not run, that's not really good enough. In my opinion, of course.
In any case, the fix for this bug is obvious. DO NOT hold a weak ref to an object you're dispatching an event on. Just don't do it. So fix nsSVGSVGElement::DidModifySVGObservable to hold a strong ref to the presshell. ;) And then probably audit the rest of the code that calls that method.

In Part I, we looked at some aspects of the Bush Administration's foreign policy, but, more important, we acknowledged how difficult it is to play historian when dealing with current events. Historians have enough trouble with past events where one can at least see some of the implications of policies that may have looked good or bad at the time but later turned out to have unintended consequences.
In addition, one's personal bias filters judgments – objectivity is futile, which is why I freely admit to my somewhat liberal approach while also expressing my frustration with many liberal approaches to public policy.
Therefore, one has to approach this exercise with caution and humility. A sense of humor is also useful.
Compassionate Conservatism: It was never clear what that meant, but it had a nice ring to it. The recent Washington Post series on Dick Cheney makes it clear that the compassionate word means little to him, and given his unusual power and political skill, he's managed to turn the phrase into just that – nice words. There's very little indication of compassion in the Bush administration track record, save for the wealthy, and lots of examples of quite the opposite. (Grade: F)
No Child Left Behind: Another great sound bite that has shown some results but has also forced schools and teachers into becoming training grounds for standardized test taking as opposed to learning. I would argue that, while the concept is excellent, the approach taken is clumsy and counter-productive. And the budget cuts in education to pay for Iraq and military expansion have made it even more difficult to turn the slogan into reality.
To be fair, the public education system in American has been a mess for years, so one can't blame Bush for all the problems, particularly when competing ideologies and a bunch of Congressional Neanderthals seem incapable of keeping the focus on the real issue: the nation's children. (Grade: D)
Faith-Based Initiatives: I have not seen the data on this, but a friend who filed an FOI request years ago and has been dogged about getting the information relates that virtually 100% of the money has gone to evangelical Protestant groups—none to mainline Protestant, Catholics, Jews, or, gasp, Muslims. Very scary if true. More important, what business does the government have even supporting these kinds of activities? (Grade: F)
The Economy, Taxes, Wealth, & Poverty: "Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and not clothed." Guess who said that. Edward Kennedy? Hillary Clinton? The President of Lithuania? Try General Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1950.
What a quaint little thought. How… 1950ish, eh?
As Peter Drucker, the business consulting guru, once said, "Policy is what we do, not what we say." By that criteria, the policy of the United States is to turn its back on the poor, the disenfranchised, and the struggling.
However, once again, one cannot simply blame the Bush administration for an economic system whose goal seems to be wealth creation for the rich and wannabe rich while ignoring the needs of the poor and middle class. The wild growth in disparity of income and wealth began years ago, and the Bush tax cuts simply are a reflection of this strange loss of empathy in America for those whose struggle grows daily. In addition, people tend to assume that presidents have much more power to affect the economy than they actually do, which makes an assessment even more difficult.
This issue splits right down ideological lines. Conservatives believe that current economic policy, including tax cuts, are a blessing and have brought prosperity. Liberals compare it to Reagan's "credit card" economy where he stimulated growth by busting the budget.
In early June, the General Accounting Office issued an ominous report, "The Bottom Line – Federal Fiscal Policy Remains Unsustainable." Federal budget analyst Susan Irving wrote in the report, "Absent any action to change the path of health-care and Social Security spending and a decision about the level of taxes, you cannot fix the long-term fiscal challenge."
To his credit, Bush has at least tried to address some of these ticking time bombs, but like every president in the last few decades, he has failed to rally support for third-rail issues such as social security, Medicare, Medicaid, and health care. The American Association for the Advancement of Retired People (Motto: "We've got ours—fuck you") is such a powerful and negative voice against rational change that it's hard to imagine what anyone can do. (Grade: Take Your Pick – D-F)
The Environment: The Washington Post series on Cheney, above, makes it clear that the VP, not very sharp with a gun, hasn't a clue about environmental issues. It turns out that former EPA administrator Christine Todd Whitman, by no means a tree hugger, resigned primarily because of Cheney's interference in clean air, clean water, natural resource use, and virtually every other issue—all to the detriment of the environment. Worse, the refusal of the administration to engage in any rational way on the global warming debate makes American look like ostriches on the world stage. (Grade: F)
Energy: Liberal conspiracy theorists are still convinced we invaded Iraq to get their oil. That's never made any sense to me, but I still haven't a clue why we invaded Iraq. On the other hand, the Bush team-energy industry relations are well known. The problem is that America has been embroiled in an energy crisis for decades, and, as with other social problems that require personal sacrifice on the part of Americans, rhetoric has far outstripped performance.
The calls for a Manhattan Project for new forms of energy have resulted in exclamations of support and huzzahs from all sides — but no one seems to want to fund it. Solar, geothermal, wind power, and corn cobs are great, but they're not going to solve the problem. The marketplace, which conservatives tout as the solution to all ills, has been full of hype about hybrid cars, 30+ mpg cars, and winged-tip shoes that actually flap and fly, but it's mostly hype.
Bush could have been the perfect president to break the log jam with a "Nixon Goes to China" breakthrough. Alas, that isn't his style. So, we leave it to the next president to do nothing on energy. (Grade: It's not completely fair, but Bush has done virtually nothing except call for drilling in my backyard, which I completely support: F)
Immigration: The most moronic piece of legislation ever to surface in Congress finally died…for now, and the Democrats are as responsible as the Republicans for this idiocy.
Again, we're trapped between competing ideologies. The conservatives can't explain how we're going to arrest and deport 12+ million illegals; the liberals can't explain how we're going to make them legal without unfairly penalizing those legal immigrants who've been playing by the rules. Conservatives worry, with some justification, that we'll be an Hispanic nation within the next few decades; liberals don't talk about it. Some problems seem simply too massive for a democracy to resolve. (Grade: D, only because Bush supported something, even if it was a horrible bill.)
The Bill of Rights, Justice, Security, Freedom: Oh, what a tangled web we weave. The Cheney series in the Post makes it clear that he and his cronies were willing to shatter not only the Bill of Rights, but treaties the U.S. has embraced for over 100 years. What a surprise that our moral authority around the world is now slightly higher than Lithuania's. The wiretapping of Americans by the National Security Agency, the politicization of the Justice Department (when John Ashcroft refuses to agree with you on how to bend the laws, you know you're in trouble,) and all the rest suggest that the balance has tilted dangerously in the direction of security over personal freedoms. Why conservatives aren't screaming about that is one of life's great mysteries. (Grade: F)
Science, Research, and American Technology: One of the most dangerous and short-sighted moves by the Bush administration has been the sapping of research dollars into basic research. As we continue to lose our manufacturing base, which is inevitable, our primary source of economic power will be technology fueled by new science, and we're slowly losing our supremacy. (Grade: F)
The Supreme Court: Conservatives will give Bush an A, liberals will fail him completely. Recent rulings, all by a 5-4 margin, make it clear that Chief Justice Roberts' claim to want to build consensus is just so much baloney. Personally, I'm horrified, particularly because many of these super conservative justices are so young. For good or ill, the Court may be Bush's most important legacy; only time will reveal what kind of legacy it is.
There is so much more one could explore, but if there's a sense of sameness about much of the above, it's because the conservative, pro-business, anti-consumer philosophy is the foundation of this administration's approach to governance.
Ah yes, one more category: The American People. We are becoming self-centered, xenophobic, mean spirited, distrustful, shadows of a once proud nation. We will sacrifice nothing for another — even our own children. The rare accounts of random acts of kindness are mere drips of color on a canvas painted with scenes from a country I barely recognize any longer. Grade: F

With its iconic Harbour Bridge and Opera House, Sydney is Australia's cruise gateway and one of the world's most beautiful ports of call.
Indeed cruise demand is booming with the number of cruise ship visits to Sydney close to tripling over the past five years, from just 119 in 2009/10 to the more than 280 currently scheduled for 2014/15. The cruise season peaks each year through summer with 114 ship visits scheduled over the three months from January to March 2015.
Port Authority of New South Wales is investing strongly in our cruise facilities to ensure we remain equal to or ahead of world standards.
In April 2013 we opened our new $57 million cruise facility at White Bay, while at Circular Quay we're about to complete a significant upgrade to the Overseas Passenger Terminal (OPT) to ensure its facilities and infrastructure can comfortably accommodate the increasing number of larger cruise ships now visiting the Harbour City.
Both the OPT and White Bay cruise terminals are just a short distance from Sydney's 'downtown' tourist attractions and shopping centres and within 30 minutes of the city's domestic and international airport terminals.
Click on the links below for directions to the terminals as well as a detailed summary of the facilities available at each of them.

Mariners manager Eric Wedge suffered what the team has termed a "very mild" stroke and will miss the team's next series and upcoming road trip while he recovers at home. Wedge was released from hospital earlier today and has been ordered home to rest and recover from what is obviously — mild or not — a serious medical concern. "We expect a complete recovery" general manager Jack Zduriencik said moments ago. "So what he needs to do is just stay home for the next short period of time. We epect him to be back sooner rather than later. He's excited. Like I've said he sounds normal. You talk to him and it sounds like everything's fine and he's ready to roll. But again we're going to err on the side of caution. I think the common sense thing is just to have Eric rest and it makes sense that he won't take this trip to the East Coast."

The overall goal of this project is to understand how telomeres prevent the activation of the DNA damage response at chromosome ends. In the prior funding period we have made progress on defining this end- protection problem, establishing that the two main DNA damage response pathways, the ATM and ATR kinase signaling cascades, can be activated at chromosome ends when telomere protection is lost. In this proposal, we describe experiments designed to gain mechanistic insights into how telomeres repress the ATM and ATR kinases. Specifically, AIMs 1 and 2 will focus on two components of the telomeric shelterin complex, TRF2 and POT1, which we have shown to act independently to repress the ATM and ATR pathways at chromosome ends.
The third aim of this proposal is to examine how telomeres are duplicated by semi-conservative DNA replication. Our preliminary data indicates that telomeric repeats pose a considerable challenge to the replication fork, leading to replication fork arrest and phenotypes consistent with telomeres representing fragile sites. Thus, the data suggest that the protective telomeric DNA at chromosome ends comes at the cost of potential replication problems. TRF1, a third component of shelterin identified in our laboratory, was found to have a key role in facilitating the replication of telomeres. This new insight forms the basis of the work in AIM 3 where we will examine telomere replication in detail and address how TRF1 facilitates replication fork progression through the telomeric DNA. Together these experiments should reveal the basic principles by which the telomeric shelterin complex allows mammalian cells to maintain linear chromosomes without activating DNA damage signaling cascades. Human cells lose telomeric DNA with cell divisions and exhibit limited proliferation due to the eventual loss of telomere function. Understanding telomere function and the consequences of telomere deprotection is directly relevant to the limited life-span of primary human cells in vitro and will shed light on the finite ability of stem cells to replenish organ function in vivo. This research is therefore expected to improve the understanding of telomere- related diseases, such as dyskeratosis congenita, and diminished organ function with aging in normal individuals. Furthermore, the outcome of our experiments are relevant to human cancer since loss of telomere function is thought to be a driving force in the early stages of human tumorigenesis.
We propose to define the mechanism by which telomeres protect the ends of human chromosomes. Telomere function is a key issue in human health because telomeres are lost with cell divisions and with age, resulting in diminished cell growth and impaired organ homeostasis. In several human diseases, the loss of telomeric DNA is exacerbated, leading to premature organ failure and death.

Technology the Focus of NYSE, United Airlines Problems
Software and router issues brought things at the stock exchange and airline to a halt for hours, raising concerns about computer resiliency and safety.The four-hour outage at the New York Stock Exchange July 8 coupled with problems earlier in the day at United Airlines and the Wall Street Journal brought renewed focus to businesses' and consumers' growing dependence on technology and the problems that arise when that technology goes awry. Investors already nervous over concerns about the Chinese economy and the growing debt problem in Greece saw trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) halted late in the morning and not resume until later in the afternoon, not too long before the end of trading at the closing bell. It was the longest outage to hit U.S. trading markets since 2013, when the Nasdaq market went down for almost three hours. Officials with the 223-year-old NYSE said a computer glitch was to blame for the shutdown. They said in a statement late in the day that the computer problem involved a configuration issue, though they didn't elaborate. Earlier in the day, an unnamed trader told the New York Times that exchange officials informed them that the problems were related to a software update. According to a Reuters report, the NYSE was having connectivity problems even before the opening bell, which led to some customers not getting acknowledgements on orders that had been submitted.
The exchange's issues came after United Airlines officials said a faulty router caused the carrier to ground all of its flights for more than an hour, leading to 61 flights being cancelled and another 1,100 being delayed. The airline released a statement to journalists saying that "an issue with a router degraded network connectivity for various applications, causing this morning's operational disruption."

We had been in the club for about an hour and I was starting to get drunk. My face began to feel warm and my voice slowed. I couldn't hear shit and didn't want to. I just wanted to get faded. A group of us from work had just landed a major client for our boss Trevor. As a reward he had taken us out for dinner, then for some after dinner drinks and now we were getting wasted at some none descript club in St Kilda.
As I started to drift from the group, my glass half empty I brushed past strangers. I placed the palm of my hand on their backs as I passed. I enjoyed the tactile pleasure and the ease in which it allowed me to move through the crowd. Soon I had managed to pull up next to a bar stool that overlooked the dance floor.
Next to me were a couple in their early 20s, she had light brown hair and was smiling whilst drinking what looked like one of those expensive vodka cocktails, he was a bruiser formidable in size. Then some old dude with a bad comb over and an expensive suit slide in next to me and nearly bumped my drink.
"Could ya move over mate?"
"Sure, I guess" was my reply. Shit, I was just getting comfortable. I felt him rub his arms and shoulders over my back as he fumbled pass me to the young couple. Thanks buddy I thought, but that big dude will fuck you up no doubt if you start rubbing and bumbling to him, even if you have a fancy suit. Then he walked up to the young woman, "Hey Coopy baby, come down with me to the bathrooms, I have a treat for you." Fuck he looks old enough to be her dad, and then he kissed her. It kind of all made sense now he was her sugar daddy and that young guy was one of his stooges.
My mind began to wander, I started to think about ex girlfriends and drugs and why people have sex in toilets. I mean surely they can wait. I never had sex in a toilet and honestly wouldn't, does that make me weird?
Then it happened, Claire from accounts moved on to the dance floor. She was wearing a pearl white cocktail dress that made her look like Hollywood starlet from the 40s. Even though the dance floor was packed Claire still had room to move. I mean she moved in her own way, effortlessly and with grace. To be honest if it wasn't for Claire and the job market I would have quit long ago. But she had no idea how I felt. She had a long time partner and was nearly 28, marriage surely wasn't that far off. Just thinking about that made me want to drink.
Then I heard Trevor calling out from over my shoulder "Where the fuck did you go, cunt? It's your shout!" he was a nervous kid even though he was in his late 30s. He constantly needed to know what was going on and where everyone was. I mean he was the boss but come on. Anyways he marshalled me to the closest of the three bars in the club which was no mean feat I'm 6'3 and pretty solid.
There were bodies everywhere moving and sliding in to place heaving in and out. Hesitantly I asked Trevor what he wanted to drink. The kid always drinks bourbon so I shouldn't have bothered asking him in hindsight. But he just looked me in the eye and hollered "Tequila shots and bourbon". I thought to myself "Oh shit" he wants a big night, that shit was his nemesis, he knew it and so did I. He was going to get wrecked off that cheap Mexican shit and I would be left to pick up the pieces.
But hey fuck it, this was my going away party Trevor just didn't know it yet. I had been writing copy for five years without a promotion and barely a bump in the pay-packet. It was time to move on and I felt empowered by this secret. No more kiss ass. This would be a big night, a very big night.
We smashed two shots of tequila each and then Trevor followed me back to where I was sitting before. The DJ started spinning R&B and the dance floor began to fill. Trevor then leant in to me with his Napoleonic swagger and cheap cologne and stated matter of fact "You know Claire is single now, eh". My heart pumped so hard I thought it would burst. I thought to myself what should I do. I can't ask her out tonight I would look drunk and desperate. But I can't keep working for this prick and ask her later.
Just then Claire turned her head towards me. I could just make out her hazel eyes and platinum blond hair that glistened red and blue from the house lights. Then my stomach began to churn, I wasn't sure if it was the grog or the emotion of knowing this could be one of the last memories I would have of her.
So in a drunken stupor I got up from my stool and that Kanye West song Mercy began to play over the speakers. I felt all the blood in my body ignite and my spine tingle, this was my moment and I was about to fuck it up.
As I walked up to Claire I began to dance slow and our bodies began to move close until we wear almost touching. I wanted to breathe her in and let her know how beautiful she is. But the best I could come up with was "You look great tonight Claire". Claire paused and politely said "thanks". Then I pushed further and said "no, really, you look hot" to be honest I just wanted to fuck her that night. Such a terrible game plan, but I had no one to run it by. Claire laughed and told me to stop hitting on her. I was too drunk to know if she was being sarcastic or not so in a confused state I wandered back to the bar. I looked at my phone from my pocket and I couldn't tell if it was 3:00am or 4:00am the screen was blurry as shit, I was seriously wasted. It was time to go home before I made a bigger fool of myself.
I started to make my way to the entrance not sure whether I should quit or stick it out a week or two and see how things go with Claire. Just as I was walking past the bouncer to the taxi rank I heard Trevor calling out "Oi ya wanker, just leave me hanging. Claire and that wanna know where you went." My first thought was to go back inside on the slim chance that Claire was looking for me as a rebound or something. Then I just blurted out to Trevor "I kind of kept hitting on Claire. So I'm gunna just go. You know before I make a fool of myself" I knew he wouldn't empathise but I didn't expect what would come out of his mouth next. He said "Yeah I had a crack at that slut too, told her I would give her a promotion. She wouldn't have any of it. I'm going to fire that bitch on Monday"
I'm not sure what I heard first the crying or the thud. What I do know is my hand fucking hurt. I cracked Trevor right on the bridge of the nose then he stumbled and fell back against the Greek tavern that was adjacent to the club. And then Trevor started to get emotional. He was crying and bleeding and cursing all over the place.
The scene would have been comical if it wasn't so tragic I put my hand out to help him up. I looked at him with sincerity and said "I'm sorry mate but you know you're a bit of an arsehole". All Trevor could say was "Well you didn't have to break my fucking nose" he was right I felt like a thug. A feeling of remorse swept over me and combined with the biting chill of the early Melbourne morning. I felt hollow and numb, what had I done. I had just lost my job, there was no way I would be working at the agency after breaking the boss's nose. Shit, he could put me up for assault, what would Claire think? Jesus, I'm such a dick head. Just then Trevor made it to his feet and smudged the blood from his face. Here we go round two I thought. But it wasn't, yet again Trevor would surprise me "I'm sorry. She's not a slut. I think she likes you mate." I felt like hugging the bastard.
I figured this was my chance to make it up to him so I offered to take him back inside for a drink. Trevor accepted and we walked back pass the bouncer and made it to the bar. I helped Trevor clean himself up with some napkins just as Claire approached us "Jesus, what happened to you" she said looking at Trevor. Trevor replied with a dejected look in his eyes "I called some girl a slut". In that moment Claire glanced at my knuckles, she could see that they were swollen and red. She moved over to me and gently placed a kiss on my cheek, I felt whole again. Claire then moved to get the bartenders attention and he asked her what she wanted to order which she replied "three waters".

* Promise Broken 19
You don't consider that to be a lot of broken promises? I would argue that even one broken promise is too many.
It would be a huge undertaking, but I think it's a goal worth striving for.
Why? The masses are uninformed, easily swayed sheep without the time or resources necessary to properly investigate any given piece of legislation. not only that, but most of them wouldn't vote anyway. I'm not saying a republic is perfect, but its still better than what a direct democracy would be.
Twits/trolls like you are the reason for the first part of my sig, but what the hell:
So there are still millions of Americans who believe that surgical strikes and smart bombs only kill the bad guys and that it's OK to get involved in military adventures for corporate interests.
Fine me ONE. I've tried. They aint there. It doesn't matter how stupid you are, nobody believes that smart bombs only kill bad people. However, apparently idiots do beleive that others believe that.
There isn't anyone quite as stupid as those who think they're smarter than everyone else.
You can bring any calculator you like to the midterm, as long as it doesn't dim the lights when you turn it on. -- Hepler, Systems Design 182
