LONG BEACH - A day after the Second+PCH project failed to gain approval from the Long Beach City Council, some who were pulling for the $320 million retail, condominium and boutique hotel complex envisioned a less-glitzy alternative.
Instead of a shopping and community gathering destination near Alamitos Bay Marina centered around a 12-story residential building - a feature that rankled many in the community - supporters of the four-year effort to make Second+PCH a reality imagined Home Depot, WalMart, Target or other big-box stores.
"It's an easy development to do," said Bill Lorbeer, a member of the Belmont Shore Parking and Business Improvement Advisory Commission. "That's what the current zoning allows."
But, he added, "I can't tell you how much worse I believe that would be for the community."
Opponents of Second+PCH, ebullient after the council voted 3-5 Tuesday against making recommended zoning and environmental changes to allow the project, called the big-box prediction a "scare tactic."
"That would be the worst thing that could be built there, that's not what would be required to be there," said Elizabeth Lambe, executive director of the Los Cerritos Wetlands Land Trust.
The Wetlands Trust and other stake holders opposed the development for its potential impact on traffic, air quality, property values and wildlife at the nearby Los Cerritos Wetlands. They also were concerned with a "precedent-setting" rule change to permit buildings taller than the current restriction of 35 feet.
The Planning Commission approved the project and zoning changes in October and November, but the decision was appealed to the council.
Even if the council had signed off on the changes, attorneys working for the opposition group doubted the environmental alterations would have passed muster with the California Coastal Commission.
Councilwoman Suja Lowenthal said the building height and potential Coastal Commission objections factored into her no vote.
"I also didn't want to see us revisiting that time where single developments characterized the rest of a neighborhood, to its detriment," Lowenthal said.
Gary DeLong, the councilman who represents the area, said he was surprised by the vote's outcome and didn't hear objections that couldn't be addressed. DeLong was joined by council members Robert Garcia and Rae Gabelich in supporting the project.
"For example, if height was an issue, reduce the height. If traffic was the issue, reduce the size of the project," said DeLong.
"Once again, Long Beach has shot itself in the foot by not figuring out how to craft a compromise that would have resulted in tax revenues for our city and jobs for our residents."
Before the next attempt to replace the dilapidated SeaPort Marina Hotel, Lambe and others favor reworking the comprehensive planning around the 11-acre parcel. The last update was more than 30 years ago.
"That's a win for the community, that's a win for the wetlands and that's a win for developers," Lambe said.
In a separate vote on Tuesday, the council took steps in that direction.
Members unanimously decided to direct city staff to report back within 60 days on revising the Southeast Area Development and Improvement Plan. The process could take several years and cost between $500,000 and $1 million.
What's clear at the moment, though, is that the 275 residential units, 100-room hotel and 155,000 square feet of high-end retail included in the Second+PCH proposal are gone.
Raymond Lin, whose family has owned the SeaPort Marina Hotel since the early 1990s, couldn't be reached for comment Wednesday.
But Developer David Malmuth quickly left the council meeting Tuesday after the project was nixed, saying only: "There is no next. The project's done."
Lorbeer said large-scale developers will be hesitant to invest time and resources in Long Beach after observing the council's handling of Second+PCH.
"We let them spend almost $5 million working that project forward, and then in the end, we said no to them," Lorbeer said. "It sends a horrible, horrible message to the development community."

Navigating the Chinese Media Landscape
- Tagged in Media Relations
- Leave a Comment
Attendees of this year's IABC World Conference in Chicago got a rare treat when Yujie Chen, director of PR Newswire Asia – made the trip from Beijing to address the group. Yujie offered an insider's view of Chinese media, and offered advice for Western companies seeking to establish business presences in China, and the communicators who support those efforts.
The discussion started with an overview of the Chinese marketplace, the impact it's having on Western economies and nuances about doing business in China. The value of the Chinese market to US companies is $200 billion, and growing, Yujie noted, but for every successful US company in China, there are many failures. The most common mistake: believing that you can simply set up shop in China and the profits will roll in.
Just as business practices and cultural preferences differ country to country, so does the media scene, and nowhere is this more evident than in China. Right off the bat, Yujie reminded the audience of the inescapable fact that Chinese media are subject to the Communist Party's control.
While all media are controlled by the government, there are varying degrees of oversight, ownership and control, and savvy public relations people need to understand the differences between different outlets. The Communist Party propaganda department , Yujie noted, has people working across the country, at all levels. They the guidelines for Chinese media – issuing policies, directives and guidelines on how the media should report different stories as often as needed. Media people in China have a good sense of self-censorship and know where the boundaries are.
The key media players in China include:
Xinhua – "the most official" news media. Xinhua is the only news agency in China that is entirely owned and controlled by the government. It's the only outlet allowed to cover major government initiatives, developments in foreign affairs, etc. As a result, Xinhua still has the most authority in covering the most important issues in China, and it's one of the four largest newswire services in the world, rivaling the AFP, AP and BBC wires. Despite Xinhua's influence, it's not the best target for media professionals. Typically, Xinhua's focus is macroeconomic. They represent the central government. Being reported by Xinhua is almost like getting a stamp of approval from the government.
The media with the greatest penetration: CCTV – China Central TV. CCTV has 97% penetration in China, and is the most popular source of news, sports and entertainment news, especially in rural areas. Evening news is probably watched by half the Chinese population. Many rural areas don't have access to other types of media. Don't forget that CCTV is still watched carefully (and controlled) by the government.
There are 370 TV stations in China. Each province has a provincial station, each of those will have 50,60 channels . For communications pros this is important because of the its popularity These stations are also important for advertisers. If you work for an established company that wants to connect with customers, this may be worth for you.
Niche focus & strong growth: print media . – With more than 2,200 newspapers and 9,000 magazines, the print media business in China is not declining. Yujie noted that it has yet to really mature. The business is flourishing but the penetration is nowhere near as deep as CCTV.
For companies operating in China, print media is probably the most crucial. The publications are subject focused, and can help you reach your customers in a more targeted way. Tip: spend time learning about print outlets, and select those that make sense for your brand.

Aeroacoustics: Computational Aeroacoustics for Aerospace
Expanding airports, sprawling cities and increased air traffic have resulted in aircraft noise becoming one of the biggest issues facing the aerospace industry today. Due to improving algorithms and increased computational capabilities, simulation is now widely applied in aeroacoustics to better understand noise source mechanisms and sound propagation. The goal of these simulations is to understand how to reduce noise.
In this webcast, the value of advanced simulation technology is demonstrated for applications including environmental control systems (ECS), avionics cooling, propulsion systems and airframe noise (landing gear, high-lift, trailing edge, etc.).
The following technologies are highlighted:
Experts identify new challenges in simulation and how advanced toolsets like STAR-CCM+ are addressing these issues through ongoing development.

Rage: A Love Story (edition 2009)
by Julie Anne Peters
Work details
Rage: A Love Story by Julie Anne Peters
No current Talk conversations about this book.
The first half was a little tiresome and hard to get into — the characters and storyline started fleshing out by the second half.
". . . what's wrong with me that I stay and no one else does?" (p.68)
Rage is a YA novel that explores the emotions of someone in an abusive relationship.
Johanna's parents are dead, she lives in her own apartment above her sister and her sister's husband's house and doesn't feel particularly loved or wanted. Her best friend Novak frequently takes advantage of her apartment as a place to have sex with her boyfriend, making Johanna feel even more lonely. She's obsessed with Reeve Hartt, a beautiful but damaged girl. Johanna frequently daydreams about Reeve - slipping into an imaginary world she calls "Joyland" where sparkly romantic fantasies ensue. "Letters from Joyland. Love, Johanna." (p.57)
When her teacher asks Johanna to help Reeve's autistic brother, Robbie, write an essay, she is shocked by what he writes about - horrific sexual abuse that both he and his sister suffered. If what Robbie has written is true, it makes Johanna's own problems seem mild in comparison. "My own tragedies are so . . . ordinary." (p.104)
Johanna's dreams come true when she and Reeve strike up a relationship - despite everyone, including Reeve, warning Johanna not to get involved with her. Johanna has seen the abusive way Reeve treats other girls - biting, hitting, making them cry - but she's sure that Reeve will never hurt her. It's not long before Reeve is hitting her and stealing from her, but Johanna has caught glimpses of Reeve's home life by this point - a junkie mother and a violent, abusive uncle. She can't help but feel sorry for Reeve and want to help her, protect her. She can't let go of her love for Reeve, or admit that there is a problem.
"By afternoon, the bruising has spread down my whole left cheek. It symbolizes something - trust? Intimacy? You can trust me to take what you dole out, Reeve. I gaze into the mirror and think, This is a phase of our love." (p. 228)
Rage is well written, but the subject matter makes this a more difficult, painful read. One thing I didn't like about it was how Johanna was so nasty towards her friend, Novak. Novak was inappropriate at times, but Johanna was way too cold towards her. Novak was going through her own tragedy - getting kicked out by her mother - and clearly trying to figure out her own sexuality. She needed Johanna's help and Johanna was too self-absorbed to even talk to her! I guess the author was trying to show that neither character was a saint, but Johanna's callous attitude towards her so-called "best friend" still really bothered me.
Intense and raw.
I kind of hated this book. On the positive side, it's queer and the writing style isn't bad.
But... if a main character is wrong, they need to figure it out for themselves. Other characters can't tell them that they're wrong for half the book and then turn out to be right. I think this is a common problem when old people try to try to write books for young people, at least when there's an intentional message and it's not just an adventure story. The stuff I've read by Sarah Dessen annoys the heck out of me for the same reason.
I adore Julie Anne Peters and I am thankful that she writes the books she does. When I was in high school the GLBT books were few and far between, and most of them just dealt with coming out. Peters goes beyond the coming out process (which is vital, of course) and tackles topics such as having a brother who is transgendered (Luna), being kicked out of your home because you're a lesbian (Keeping You a Secret), and intimate partner abuse (Rage). Rage gives a very open and honest look into Johanna's psyche as she rationalizes the actions of her abusive girlfriend.
At the end of the book there is a list of resources for victims of violence, both general and LGBT-specific.
References to this work on external resources.

No descriptions found.
At the end of high school, Johanna finally begins dating the girl she has loved from afar, but Reeve is as much trouble as she claims to be as she and her twin brother damage Johanna's self-esteem, friendships, and already precarious relationship with her sister.… (more)

When did Miley Cyrus know she wanted to end her relationship?
Listen to Miley Cyrus on iHeartRadio
(Yahoo!) - Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth's official announcement last week that they'd called off their engagement didn't seem to come as much of a shock to anyone. The two were rumored to be at odds for months.
Now the 20-year-old pop star is opening up in the November 2013 issue of Fashion magazine, admitting that the troubles in her nearly four-year relationship began long before it ended. She also admitted that these emotions are reflected in her new song "Drive."
"I wrote it while I was working on Valentine's Day," she confessed. "Emotionally it was such a hard time. It is about needing to leave someone but not really want to completely cut yourself off from the relationship. It's a time when you want to leave but you can't. It's also about moving on."
Between "Drive" and the already-released "Wrecking Ball," it seems the dissolution of Miley's relationship with the "Hunger Games" actor will be a recurring theme of her album, "Bangerz," which drops next month.
While the album may have its fair share of angst, the two stars seem to be handling the breakup rather well. Liam looked dapper as ever on a red carpet earlier this week and has already been seen in a lip lock with Mexican actress and singer Eiza Gonzalez. Miley is taking to her music to help her move on, and is rumored to be spending quality time with her producer, Mike Will.

The NSA data-collection story has prompted a lot of reporting about "metadata" – information about communications between individuals. As the FT has reported:
The practice was revealed by The Guardian, which published an order – signed by the secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court – instructing Verizon to give the NSA the metadata, or information logs, for the calls "on an ongoing daily basis".
Call logs really matter. Even if you cannot hear the calls, metadata – knowing who called whom – is massively important. It allows you to build a picture of who knows whom and how well. This sounds trivially true, but computing power means it's extremely easy to pull out this data in real time and in great detail. And if you spot a suspicious group, you can then get another warrant to listen in on their conversations.
Here is an example: I've put my Facebook account details into a piece of analytical software – and, 10 seconds later, this is my life:
This is a map of who my friends are based solely on knowing which of them is friends of the others. Nothing else. Just Facebook friend lists. It has worked out that the big clusters are groups of people who know one another – so probably have something in common. The ones at the centre of the packs know everyone else around them, and those at the edge are more peripheral.

Hernandez lights-out for Lugnuts
Jays prospect allows one hit in seven innings in Class A debut
By Danny Wild / MLB.com | April 10, 2012 6:26 PM ET
The Blue Jays prospect worked a perfect seventh, striking out the final batter he faced to pick up the win in his Class A debut as the Lansing Lugnuts beat the Dayton Dragons, 6-2, at Fifth Third Field.
The 23-year-old right-hander struck out eight and held the Dragons to one hit over seven innings, earning the win in front of his girlfriend and others from his hometown of Grand Rapids, Mich., who made the trip to Dayton.
"Yeah, I had a good nervous feeling in my belly," Hernandez said. "But once the game got going, I kind of shook it off."
Hernandez did not allow a ball out of the infield all night, even when Ryan Wright broke up his no-hit bid in the fourth with a two-out single that eluded shortstop Andrew Burns. He allowed just one other baserunner -- Theo Bowe drew a two-out walk in the sixth.
"It was a ground ball to the left side in the hole, it was a tough play and [Burns] almost came up with it," Hernandez said of the lone hit. "I stayed with my game plan there, just get my ground balls."
Hernandez induced five straight ground balls to begin the game before striking out Steven Selsky to end the second. A sinkerballer who went undrafted two years ago, he had it all working in his full-season debut.
"Going into the game, I knew they were aggressive and liked to swing early," he said. "Me being a sinkerballer, I wanted to go at them and keep the game moving. I did that early on and they kind of stayed back and I snuck in a few strikeouts. It was the same approach all the way through."
Hernandez's one-hit line capped a busy few weeks that saw the Central Michigan product get assigned to Lansing, not far from where he grew up. He's already had family come out to a game in Lansing and was amped to get his first start in Dayton. Plus, the Lugnuts are one of only three undefeated teams in the Minor Leagues.
"Oh, yeah, I was really pumped," Hernandez said. "I lived 45 minutes away from our ballpark in Lansing. [My family] came out in our home opener in the crosstown showdown against Michigan State and there was a good turnout there. And my girlfriend came out today, since she's closer to Dayton."
By the time Hernandez reached the seventh, he wasn't sure if it'd be his last inning.
"I felt fine [in the seventh]. I knew they had a game plan with my pitches, but I wasn't sure how many I threw," he said. "I respect the coaches' decision. I had a little steam in the tank, but it's up to them."
Hernandez got a boost in the fifth when Lansing scored five times to break a scoreless tie. Burns hit a two-run homer, Carlos Perez delivered a two-run single following a double steal and K.C. Hobson capped the outburst with an RBI hit to right.
"It's huge. The hitters came up big that inning, they were playing good all night defensively," Hernandez said. "That's a big pick-me-up there when it's close, when they bust out. It was awesome."
Hernandez signed with the Blue Jays in 2010 and spent the last two years with Rookie-level and short-season affiliates in the Gulf Coast, New York-Penn and Northwest leagues. After a brief taste of the Midwest League on Tuesday, he said it's too early to say whether the opposition is any better than what he faced in Vancouver last summer.
"It's hard to say right now, only having one outing against league opponents. I'd say it's about the same after my first outing," he said. "I know hitters will get better as the season goes on. But I'd have to say it's about the same."
The righty went 4-4 with a 4.28 ERA in over 75 2/3 innings in 15 starts for the Northwest League champions last season. This spring, he's put an emphasis on staying healthy and consistent.
"Basically, my big goal was to stick with my routine through the good and bad," he said. "That way, I can develop consistency throughout the season."
Hernandez's gem came one night after Justin Nicolino, the Blue Jays' No. 6 prospect struck out five over three hitless innings in his Class A debut. The left-hander was Toronto's second-round pick in 2010.
The Lugnuts' 5-0 start matches the 2004 squad for the best in team history.

I really wanted to call this "Glamorous Gourds" but when I googled "Are pumpkins gourds?" the answer was no….they are a "gourd-like squash." So then I considered "Sparkly Squash" but there's something about the word "squash" that wasn't quite doing it for me. So…. Pretty Pumpkins it is!! It's the best I could do. Sorry.
Anyway, as I began changing the color scheme of my living room last year from the reds, golds, and greens to the aquas, yellows and leaf greens I realized I was going to have a problem when it came to my fall decor. It was no longer sympatico, if you knowwhati'msayin. So I got some white and neutral pumpkins and that was fine…. for last year.
This year I wanted to punch things up a little. I wanted to add some color in with my neutral pumpkins. And maybe a little glitz while I was at it. Why not? Here's what I decided to do…
I got a $5 pumpkin from WalCrap.

Cisco 891 Router & VPN Setup
Ive followed every wizard in the CCP program to setup a simple VPN so I can access my work ne
twork from home and nothing works. I am lost and out of ideas.
Can anyone give me a simple walkthrough on setting one up? I just want to be able to setup a connection in windows that i can "connect" to from my home cable internet using a username/password that will allow me to access the network from home as if my computer was there at the office.
Do I need special software on the remote computer? Ive seen people connect to vpns just using windows vpn connection setup, i assume via IPSEC?

Dandruff, black tee's the canvas
Bitches can't stand it at my school, they think I'm a fool
They think I'm rancid, maybe it's true
Goddammit, maybe I am, Pom Chow used to chewin' them crayons
Favorite gang was them Yoohoo cans
Bart Simpson was like my Guru man
Now it's all about Homothugs the band
Matter of fact, Homothugs' the fam
Yo, you gay right? That's what everyone's askin'
Back to the raps, you overrated in rappin'
That's right, it's funny when people ignore me
Cause y'all more fake than Bible stories
Kill it in the cypher, get tribal glory
Homo tribe run shit, got no rivals for me
Don't believe in the Saint, ? odds
And I ain't talkin' 'bout a gun when I say Colt 45
And hell yeah I got pride for N-Y
But of course Simpson's gotta make everything ill die
They basically kill anything that is fly
Spendin' hours at a time to look like they didn't try
Ruining everything from A-B-C to Bedstuy
And this stupid recession, pops just got fired
Oh I forgot, but they callin' it laid off
New York's fucked up from Marrill Lynch to Madoff
Cops give bullshit tickets, they get paid off
That's post-Giuliani, just call it post-Adolf
Hitler's takin' New York from summer to winter
Tryin' to keep warm, sippin' on malt liquor
Lip blister lack of chapstick, nawhattamean?
Stay dirty, but forward the ass, come keep my dick clean
And when I spit, people wish they was on this team
Don't admit and some hate just cause I'm 16

As I was unable to find much documentation on doing this from a different partition I decided to try creating a chroot environment with a BT5r2 iso file.
I found some documentation on how to do this with BT4 at this link:
I followed these directions perfectly down this far:
I had already gotten a bt command-line prompt, but when I ran apt-get upgrade I received this error:Code:mkdir -p /root/BUILD mv bt4.iso /root/BUILD cd /root/BUILD/ mkdir mnt mount -o loop bt4.iso mnt/ mkdir extract-cd rsync --exclude=/casper/filesystem.squashfs -a mnt/ extract-cd mkdir squashfs mount -t squashfs -o loop mnt/casper/filesystem.squashfs squashfs mkdir edit cp -a squashfs/* edit/ cp /etc/resolv.conf edit/etc/ cp /etc/hosts edit/etc/ cp /etc/fstab edit/etc/ mount --bind /dev/ edit/dev chroot edit apt-get update apt-get upgrade
This seemed odd as I had already mounted /dev in my previous steps.Code:Can not write log, openpty() failed (/dev/pts not mounted?) Setting up libc-bin (2.11.1-0ubuntu7.10) ... Can not write log, openpty() failed (/dev/pts not mounted?) (Reading database ... 231201 files and directories currently installed.) Preparing to replace libc6 2.11.1-0ubuntu7.8 (using .../libc6_2.11.1-0ubuntu7.10_i386.deb) ... /var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/preinst: line 312: [: 3.3-2.slh.2-aptosid-686: integer expression expected /var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/preinst: line 28: 3.3-2.slh.2-aptosid-686: syntax error: invalid arithmetic operator (error token is ".3-2.slh.2-aptosid-686") dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.11.1-0ubuntu7.10_i386.deb (--unpack): subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1 /bin/df: cannot read table of mounted file systems: No such file or directory Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.11.1-0ubuntu7.10_i386.deb E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
But then I realized from the error message that the chroot session had tried to write to the OS that was not chroot-ed (Aptosid).
I confirmed this by doing a quick apt-get update|upgrade on Aptosid afterward and getting warnings about 2 packages that were not completely installed, nor uninstalled.
For those who might be wondering, I'm just wanting to run Backtrack 5 without having to reboot into my other partition or use vmware.
I need both OS's for work and education but Debian Sid seems to have a dependency conflict in it's repos at this time which is why I've came at this problem from this route.
Sorry if this should not be in the Advanced section, but as my last post went unanswered I decided to step it up a notch.
Any help, suggestions, or links will be much appreciated.

Tyrone Corbin did make a change to his starting lineup on Monday. But it wasn't the one some expected.
As Earl Watson replaced Jamaal Tinsley in the first five, small forward Marvin Williams remained a starter despite his worst stretch since joining the Jazz via trade in the offseason.
"He knows I bring more to this team than offense," Williams said, "and I feel like that probably is why he has kept me in the lineup."
Because if offense were the only metric, there would be little defense of Williams although he made four of his first six shots against the Celtics and had 10 points at halftime.
If only the Jazz could capture that performance in a bottle.
"Either been hot or really cold," Williams said, "there's been no middle ground."
The likable veteran shot just 33 percent from the field in January, and entering Monday's game was on a 38 percent clip in February. His points per game have steadily decreased each month, from 9.7 in November to 5.8 this month. It came to a head when he was 0 for 3 and scoreless in just 14 minutes Saturday against the Clippers.
"It's been an interesting stretch for me," Williams said, "to say the least. I don't know, man, I've just got to get better."
Unfortunately for Williams, this is not a unique trend in a career that peaked when he was drafted No. 2 overall by Atlanta in the 2005 draft. Since then, he has battled expectations and being labeled a flop.
"Throughout my career," he said, "it's been difficult, I've been so up and down at times. I've been really good, sometimes I've been really bad. So, it's been something I've been working with and I've got to get better."
Corbin said the Jazz considered replacing Williams in the starting lineup and that it is not off the table, but that "he's done some other things to help us."
"His defense has been good," Corbin said. "He's still made the right rotations and taking the right shots. The shots will fall he's a little frustrated about it, and he should be."
Tinsley sits
After being demoted to backup, Tinsley said he understood Corbin's decision to start Watson and that he didn't take it as a demotion or an insult.
"I've been around the block," Tinsley said, "so I understand the business, I understand everything. It is what it is."
However, Tinsley did contradict a piece of his coach's logic.
"He's a little banged up," Corbin said, "so we'll see tonight how much he'll play coming off [the bench]."
That he was hurt was news to Tinsley, who said, "I'm not banged up."
Tinsley started 32 games as a replacement for Mo Williams, who underwent surgery on his right thumb. In those games, he averaged 4.8 points and 5.4 assists. Watson missed the first 12 games of the season after offseason knee surgery. He averages 6.6 points and 4.5 assists per game.
Doc's a fan
Before he left EnergySolutions Arena, Celtics coach Doc Rivers may have just ducked out of the visitors' locker room, taken the stairs up to the concourse, stood in line at Fanzz and bought himself a Gordon Hayward jersey.
Yup, Doc's a fan. But not just any fan.
"My staff laughs and say I have a man-crush," Rivers said. "I just like the way he played. He's a rugged kid with skills and IQ. He's athletic."
In four career games against the Celtics, Hayward averages 12 points, five rebounds and 3.3 assists per game. But it's not the stats that jump out at Rivers.
"I thought he had the play of the year against us last year," River said, "when he blocked two dunks back to back. He's getting better and better. He's got to stay healthy, obviously, but he's a terrific player."

text: Back in February I had a blind item (which I revealed in July) which talked about what was shown on Real Housewives-Beverly Hills on Monday night. Yesterday, wetpaint.com went a little bit further and said that not only was Adrienne Meloof's conception not natural, she actually she used a surrogate. So, why is that such a big deal to Adrienne? I mean Camille Grammer used a surrogate and is open about it. Everyone uses surrogates in Hollywood now. Well, I can exclusively report that the reason she is so upset with it being discussed in public is that because she and Paul have never told their kids they were delivered via a surrogate. You might recall that two weeks ago, Adrienne said her babies were all delivered by c-section and made no mention of any surrogate. It is interesting that Bravo has chosen to always mute out what everyone is discussing on the show but had no problems when Kyle said her sister was an alcoholic or when Paul said Kim was whacked out on things, but apparently have different rules when it comes to surrogates.

Before pregnancy we saw my in laws once every 4 months? During pregnancy every 2-3 months? During my pregnancy I didn't get many calls or texts until my 9th month "how are you feeling" meaning "are you in labor"? EVERYONE was made well aware we were not informing anyone of labor and would be calling once baby was born and we were ready for visitors. (That's when all of this BS started). I was told by my MIL (mother-in-law) that she will be informed and the first one to visit and the first one to hold my baby blah blah, she even told my mom she couldn't hold her until after she did for at least 20 minutes. In the same day she told me that she guesses I can have babys 1st birthday party (hubby and I own our own home and are independent financially)BUT her "real first birthday party" will be held at my mother in laws house by her....
ANYWAY! After many uninvited visits in the hospital, they show up at our house not even 48 hours after we get home with baby! They storm into my home rip my newborn baby out of my hands and set a timer so my MIL (mother-in-law) and 2 SIL (sister-in-law) could hold baby for 20 mins each... I was panicing!!! My husband left with my FIL (father-in-law) to get dinner and while they were gone I told my MIL (mother-in-law) and SIL (sister-in-law) that I wanted my baby back I was feeling anxious (they all held her for like 10 mins each) and my MIL (mother-in-law) told me NO that I cld have her back after they return with food and I eat.... Then after I ate I took her back and baby was taking away from me not even 2 mins later! I started to cry and my husband asked them to leave. World war 3 had now begun!
My 16yr old SIL (sister-in-law) (who hasn't said a word to me in the 8 years other then hi) (I'm 24) started texting me such mean things and how dare I not let them hold the baby for as long as they want and I need to get over my anxiety and they are the aunts and grandparents and they can do whatever they want. SIL (sister-in-law) then texted my husband saying the same things about me. Then my MIL (mother-in-law) called my husband and she was of course crying (manipulator) saying she shld have full access to the baby and I won't raise the baby right so my hubby needs to let her over to make sure baby is loved and kissed blah blah (I'm prolly one of the MOST LOVING mothers in the world! I TTC (trying to conceive) for 3 years and suffered 3 losses so I was PRAYING for my baby and love her up Soooo much). My MIL (mother-in-law) asked to talk next day and apologized and said she will respect my wishes and not be so overbearing when they come over blah blah.
Well 7 weeks later, with WEEKLY visits at my house they are still doing the same exact shit!! My husband works 6 days a week and we were so busy last week that we said no to the weekend visit. She asked to come Sunday we said no how about tues or wed and she said she has to work so thurs would be fine. Yesterday I'm receiving texts once again from my SILs that I'm a liar and I never invited them over for Thuraday and I'm keeping them from the baby and they arnt gonna even know who they are... BECAUSE THEY DIDNT GET TO VISIT FOR ONE WEEKK????
So now my FIL (father-in-law) called and asked if he and my MIL (mother-in-law) can come over tonight and talk about their "frustrations" with us.......
My hubby has my back 99% of the time but I just have this horrible feeling that they are gonna complain about me for 1 hr and then demand scheduled weekly visits with "their baby".... Wtf?
Please give me encourgment and advice on what to say to stand up for myself. I NEED bonding time and love my alone time with just me my husband and my baby since he works so much but I just know they are going to manipulate and guilt us into agreeing to set visits at least once a week. GIVE ME A BACKBONE please :)

GSA Launches Fifth Annual Customer Satisfaction Survey
August 14, 1998
Contact: Eleni Martin (202) 501-1231
"Input '98," a Gallup-Supervised Poll To Comment on Management of
Federally Owned and Leased Buildings
WASHINGTON -- People who work in the more than 3,500 federally owned and leased buildings again have an opportunity to rate how their building is being managed by completing GSA's Public Buildings Service customer satisfaction survey--Input '98.
Bob Peck, Commissioner of PBS, has asked Federal employees to take a few minutes to complete and return their Input '98 surveys by September 28 to Gallup. GSA retained the Gallup Organization to prepare, conduct and tabulate the survey, thus ensuring confidentiality and impartiality. Spurred by the results of past surveys, GSA has instituted changes in building management and operation ranging from repairs to elevators and fire systems to the construction of new fitness centers and cafeterias.
"GSA is committed to client satisfaction in all aspects of building services," said Peter Ford, Program Facilitator. "These surveys allow us to identify areas of concern to our clients and make improvements which meet or exceed their expectations. Our goal is to continue to increase customer satisfaction."
Input '98 asks respondents to comment on their building and office environment, building services and procedures, building security, building management staff, and overall level of satisfaction. Members of the largest property management association, Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA), have adopted the questionnaire for their use. The survey takes about 10 minutes to complete and is treated in strict confidence by Gallup.
Since the initial survey was conducted in 1993, GSA has received more than 300,000 responses. Results of last year's survey indicated a steady rise in overall customer satisfaction with 80 percent of respondents giving the agency a positive rating. For further information, contact Peter Ford at (202) 501-0514.

LONG BEACH — Long Beach police raided a downtown medical marijuana provider Tuesday, hours before the City Council was scheduled to hear a report on enforcement of a 4-month-old ban on dispensaries.| PHOTOS
The raid by narcotics detectives on THC Downtown, 301 Atlantic Ave., resulted in the arrest of three employees and two security guards, said LBPD Lt. Michael Pennino. The suspects names weren't immediately available.
According to Pennino, the suspects would be charged with misdemeanor violations of the city's prohibition on medical marijuana collectives that didn't pass a short-lived permit process.
The council in 2010 voted to allow collectives that were selected through a lottery and met rigorous regulatory requirements, but THC wasn't one of them.
In February, the council banned all collectives, but gave 18 permitted ones a six-month reprieve pending a state Supreme Court ruling over California's medical marijuana laws.
Residents complained about criminal activity related to the 2-month-old THC Downtown dispensary, leading to the police action, Pennino said.
Several residents interviewed Tuesday didn't wish to be named, but spoke of marijuana customers urinating and defecating on sidewalks and porches.
On Monday, neighbors said a dead, stabbed cat was found on a doorstep.
Pennino confirmed the accounts.
"That sums it up," he said. "It's troubling to the neighbors who have to live here."
Police serving a search warrant at the address said workers inside refused entry, forcing officers to break through four doors.
As a steady stream of apparent customers were turned away from the dispensary Tuesday, officers searching the premises carried out several computers, electronic equipment and glass jars of marijuana.
One resident observing the scene who asked not to be named said that since the dispensary had opened, there have been patrons loitering, conducting drug deals and threatening locals.
"I've got my (child) to raise," he said. "Now there are all these miscreants."

Blumarine Spring 2012
So much for the "there's been no color in Milan" train of thought. Anna Molinari's spring collection of neon brights made up for any lack and then some. She also amped up the season's tropical theme and the scuba obsession that started with resort. But most appealing was her take on the pencil skirt–bandeau top–jacket trend that's been shaping up in Italy. (It must be, if we've also seen it at both Prada and Versace—two more divergent approaches to feminine identity and aesthetic there are not.) Molinari's approach was playful: a fuller, more swingy skirt paired with matching cropped wrap-tops and biker jackets in vivid florals, including a spiky Hawaiian-looking plant and a now-familiar combo of bright yellow pansies against a black background. The overall silhouette is rooted in the sweater girls of the fifties but is starting to feel like a cool, sexy way to appear pulled together. Though where the bare midriff is concerned, if you're over 19 or don't have Karlie Kloss's abs, remember that Molinari is offering sweaters that have the same effect.

On the first day of Reading Period after winter vacation, instead of relaxing back on campus, I woke up early for my Princeternship at the New York City office of Mr. Timothy Douglas '86, the Managing Director and Global Head of Securities Finance within the Global Transaction Services division at Citi. I arrived at 8 AM to find Mr. Douglas already at work on conference calls. Having never been inside a large bank like Citi before, I quickly realized while listening in on the conversation that I had much to learn!
After a call with another bank of which Mr. Douglas' division is a client (a relationship he described as "co-opetition," since Citi and this bank cooperated in this relationship, but competed in others), I joined Mr. Douglas in a review meeting of the division's December 2011 performance in the Americas, EMEA (one of the many acronyms used during the day- EMEA stands for Europe, the Middle East, and Africa), and Asia. As Global Head of Securities Finance, Mr. Douglas must manage his division's performance and operations around the world, so he had several questions for the representatives from each regional division on the call. Immediately following, I listened in on another international call concerning Citi's securities lending services, which allows large institutional clients like pension funds to lend their stocks and bonds to other Citi clients like brokers and banks to cover short sales.
Mr. Douglas kindly let me sit in on his entire busy day, and subsequent meetings and calls discussed everything from staffing to how Citi manages some of its services. In the few minutes between these meetings, Mr. Douglas answered my questions about previous meetings, the structure of Citi as an entire organization, as well as about the finance industry in general. As someone who is seriously considering a career in finance after graduation, I was very grateful to receive advice from someone as experienced as Mr. Douglas, who has worked in the industry since 1986, on everything from Business School to the current economic climate. Beyond this valuable advice, sitting in on these meetings and calls gave me a great sense of the day-to-day work of the Securities Finance division, as well as the importance of a strong work ethic to maintain such busy schedules (while I left Citi at 5:30, Mr. Douglas' workday did not end until after a 7:00 conference call), and with the many interactions between co-workers across the globe, of the high importance of great interpersonal skills!
I felt very privileged to have such an inside view of Mr. Douglas' division, and I greatly appreciate the kindness of Mr. Douglas and his very gracious colleagues in including me in every aspect of their day. This great Princeternship only furthered my interest in working in finance after Princeton, and I would like to give a big thank-you to Mr. Douglas for his continued support of this incredible opportunity!

General Assembly: Statement by Parliamentary State Secretary Elke Ferner at High Level debate on "Contributions of Women, the young and civil society to the post-2015 development agenda"
(as prepared for delivery)
Mr. President,
Honorable delegates,
First of all, we would like to thank the President of the General Assembly inviting us to discuss contributions of women, the young and civil society to the Post‐2015 Development Agenda. Diverse, complex and intersecting inequalities on the basis of gender, age, race/ethnicity,disabilities or income undermine future opportunities and reinforce the differences between groups of society or societies at all.
An inclusive sustainable development needs to tackle structural causes of inequality and aims to develop a world of non-discrimination, accountability, equality and participation of all. We all are responsible of the extent to which human rights standards and inclusiveness of development processes are being implemented.The Post-2015 Agenda needs to address equal social, political and economic opportunities.It should tackle access to services, quality education and resources, the elimination of the vicious circle of poverty, gender equality, sustainable economic development, preservation of the environment, natural resource sustainability, and the creation of decent work for all.
To achieve this we strive for and universal approach new global partnership of all states and all stakeholders.The Agenda should be effective, transparent, monitored, and stocked with significant indicators and interrelated accountability.Women, youth and civil society all over the world have already contributed to the preparation of the Post‐2015 Agenda for sustainable development.Germany has hosted several dialogues between representatives of the government and non-governmental actors and will do so in the upcoming process.
The High-Level Event certainly presents a unique opportunity to address relevant gender issues which have been overlooked or insufficiently implemented in the MDG framework. Without intention to pre-empt the official start of negotiations on concrete goals, targets and indicators, we would like to express our commitment towards designing one ambitious, people-centered and results-oriented Post-2015 Agenda.
Germany actively supports the United Nations in pursuing its strong commitment to gender equality as a human right and in advocating for a process which reflects gender equality as a goal in itself, as well as being thoroughly reflected in all goals. Germany aims at achieving gender equality, empowering women and enforcing women's rights also through the Post-2015 Agenda.To reach this, Germany is convinced there is a need to address the following 4 issues:
1. Promote women's voice, leadership and participation in decision-making processes
2. Improve women's economic opportunities as well as access to and control over productive assets and a fairer distribution of family care and household work
3. Enact and enforce laws, regulations and policies that prohibit all forms of discrimination against women and girls and
4. Prevent, respond to, and end impunity of violence against women and girls
Germany will support every effort to promote these targets.
Furthermore, we must not forget the involvement of men and boys as an important aspect in realizing gender equality.
Regarding the Youth
Taking into account that today more than half the world is under 25 years old, young people are key for the success of the new global development goals. Therefore, in accordance with the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, Germany aims at ensuring that the rights of young people including children are reflected throughout the targets.
We need a strong commitment towards the full and effective participation of young people in the development, implementation and monitoring of the Post-2015 Agenda. Germany is convinced that one of the highest returns of investments for sustainable development is created by the respect, protection and fulfillment of the rights of children and youth
The integration of children and youth requires paying attention to the essential role of good governance, access to quality education, health services and social protection for the development of children and youth.
Special attention also needs to be paid to the protection of children, especially girls, from all forms of violence. Young Girls and Boys are advocates on their own issues. Young people should be actively involved in deciding how their lives are designed and how their future will be look like.
Concerning Civil society
Civil society organizations (CSOs) can play a vital role in shaping development policies and partnerships, and in overseeing their implementation. Many of these organizations no longer focus exclusively on traditional project and program activities but also assume the role of "watchdogs" in all social issues.
Civil society actors have therefore become increasingly important allies in the struggle to achieve our development goals in the global context. An essential precondition for effective participation by civil society is transparency on both sides and a mutual willingness to engage in dialogue. To ensure their continuing active role in the new global constellations, we advocate that civil society participation in international processes and conferences will be as wide and systematic as possible.
Mr. President
We strongly hope the outcome of this event will provide a meaningful input to the ongoing deliberations of the Open Working Group. Just ahead of the 58th Commission on the Status of Women, we are confident that this high-level event also offers impetus for the ongoing implementation of the Millennium Development Goals for women and girls.

During the eruptions of 1934 and 1938, the rate of jökulhlaup discharge reached 65,000 cu yd cubic yards (50,000 cu mcubic metres) per second. In the 20th century a jökulhlaup broke out of Vatnajökull roughly every 5 or 10 years.

Shhh…this resource is so good, you might not want to give it away. Of course, your efforts would be in vain, since this exclusive website is free for all Princeton students, faculty, and staff. Nevertheless, there's a certain element of mystery as you traverse Vault, the Gringotts of job and internship search engines. So when I stumbled on Vault at the bottom of Career Services' website, I was intrigued. I clicked on the link, set up a password, and found myself in one of the job search's best-kept secrets.
Here are some of the perks:
The Guides: Vault's website contains an eye-watering 80+ career guides on industries, employers, international opportunities, interviews/resumes, and other career topics. I thought I'd never find information on careers in music writing, my rather narrow field of choice. Did they ever have what I was looking for! From the creative side to the business side, possible interview questions, the inside scoop (will I really be fetching coffee?), pay rates, and job descriptions in the field. Also, check out Vault's Guide to Top Internships, co-written by senior education editor and Princeton alumna Carolyn Wise.
The Search Engines: You can search by company, industry, profession, or filtering through job or internship databases. I decided to search professions and typed in "lawyer." Vault came back with a list of "uppers" and "downers" as well as personality "matches" and "misses." Among the uppers were "high salaries" and "Large-firm perks such as firm retreats and free meals." Sounds pretty nice. The downers told the other side: "long hours, high stress level, and high level of dissatisfaction." Hmm…maybe I'll keep looking.
Blog and Career Advice: From their Career Advice page to their blogs, Vault has information from every step of the way: the job search, on the job, career advancement, etc. The videos and blogs offer a nice, accessible alternative for students. Since signing up for Vault's emails I now welcome the arrival of my weekly email with articles on topics like unpaid internships (very useful), cover letter mistakes (very useful), and office romance (not at all useful for me, but very interesting nonetheless!). I also read an article warning against using the exclamation point! …there I go again.
Other Inside Scoop: Do you want to what it's like to work for a specific employer? Have you ever wondered how much you'll make with your prospective job/company? Shhh…this is the secret part. Vault has a section all about Salaries and Reviews. I won't tell you the reviews and rates that I looked up—check it out for yourself!

Christine McVie gives update on John McVie's health
Listen to Fleetwood Mac on iHeartRadio
Christine McVie says her ex-husband and former Fleetwood Mac bandmate is doing well in his cancer battle.
She tells the UK's "Guardian" that John McVie's "prognosis looks good," and that they believe he'll be "up and running again in a couple of months."
John's health prompted Fleetwood Mac to scrap a planned tour of Australia and New Zealand. However, the group will be back on stage later this month. Fleetwood Mac has a December 30th performance slated for Las Vegas.
And while there's been talk of Christine rejoining the group, there are no indications that she'll be performing with the band at this show.

PHILADELPHIA – The University of Pennsylvania men's golf team continues the fall portion of its season this weekend, competing in the Temple Invitational this Saturday and Sunday. The tournament will be played at Philmont Country Club, a course that plays at par-70 and measures 6,670 yards.
This tournament was called the Big 5 Invitational in a previous life, and along with the Quakers and the host Owls this weekend's event will include local programs La Salle and Saint Joseph's. Several Ivy teams are in the 17-team field -- Brown, Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard and Princeton -- as are Binghamton, Cincinnati, Fordham, Hartford, Rhode Island, Richmond, Seton Hall and St. John's. The teams are scheduled to play 36 holes on Saturday, starting at 8 a.m., and a final 18 on Sunday.
Penn's lineup remains the same as last weekend at Yale with juniors Ben Cooley and Austin Powell; sophomore Patrick O'Leary; and freshmen Matt Kern and Dane Walton. All but O'Leary have been in the lineup for all three tournaments this fall (O'Leary played the Patriot Intercollegiate as an individual).
"This weekend should prove to be our toughest test of the fall season due to the difficulty of the course at Philmont Country Club and the expected dismal weather," said Penn's head coach, Bob Heintz. "In fact, the weather has forced us to retreat indoors in the days leading up to the Temple Invitational, giving us a great excuse to try out our recently opened indoor facility! The men and women of our programs are extremely excited to take advantage of our Trackman technology and indoor putting green when the weather acts up.
"As for the event itself, we are going with the same lineup as last week. We had some highlights, but overall it was not our strongest performance. We will need to putt better as a team if we want to contend this weekend. Considering the expected bad weather, course management, limiting the damage when we make mistakes, and strong putting will be our main points of focus. We would like to put together a solid week leading up to the highly anticipated Ivy League Match Play event the following week."

Allan French sits in his taxi cab in a parking lot in Charlottetown. French says police could charge him with kidnapping because he would not let two people who refused to pay their fare leave his cab.
©Guardian photo by Brian McInnis
CHARLOTTETOWN – A taxi driver in Charlottetown fed up with intoxicated passengers who skip out on their fares says he decided to take a stand – and now may be facing criminal charges.
On Sunday at 3 a.m., Alan French picked up two men in their early 20s in Charlottetown. They asked to be taken to an address in the Hillsborough development.
But upon arrival, the men informed French they had no intention of paying him for the cab ride.
"So, what I did was, I locked my car doors and phoned my dispatcher on the two-way, and said, 'Can you phone city police? I'm going to take these two guys over the police station for non-payment of funds.'"
He then drove them to the police station. Along the way, he says one of the men struck him in the head and jumped out of the vehicle.
The young man later turned up at the station.
French says police questioned both him and the two men.
That's when he was informed he may be the one facing charges of unlawful confinement.
"Is this real, am I dreaming? Is this a nightmare? I couldn't believe it," French said, describing his reaction.
"Drivers are getting ripped off on a constant basis now and nothing happens. But when we make a stand as a driver, we face the consequences."
French said he was fed up with the increasing number of passengers not paying their cab fares.
Some will claim they have no cash. Others say they need to fetch their money from inside their destination and never come back out to pay.
Neil Harpham, president of the Charlottetown Taxi Association, says the problem of people skipping out on their cab has been getting worse in Charlottetown.
And there's little recourse for taxi drivers when it happens.
"You hit a brick wall because of the cost and time of trying to do something about it or getting somebody charged or chasing them down," Harpham said.
"Drivers are getting ripped off on a constant basis now and nothing happens. But when we make a stand as a driver, we face the consequences."Alan French, taxi driver
"Most of the time, it's just not worth it."
That's why French says he felt he needed to take action by taking the men who refused to pay him to the police.
"There's no recourse for us, and we're getting ripped off constantly. And police are doing squat," he said.
"I took a stand."
Charlottetown Deputy Police Chief Gary McGuigan says there is an ongoing investigation into the incident.
He would not comment directly on the case, but did say he does not recommend other taxi drivers take the same action.
"(They should) get their fares upfront," he said.
"That's the advice I would give them. It's the same as what's happening at the gas pumps now. People are stealing gas, so they're making them pay for their gas and then pumping it. So if that's what's happening with taxi drivers, and it does happen occasionally, if they're leery of whether or not they're going to get their fare, they should ask for it up front."
Harpham says this is done occasionally, especially if a passenger is asking for a ride to a location well outside the city.
But he said a pay upfront policy would offend their regular customers, which he says make up 75 to 80 per cent of P.E.I.'s taxi business.
"There are far fewer cabs on Friday and Saturday nights because of this problem, in addition to all the abuse from drunk people," Harpham said.
McGuigan said it has not yet been determined whether French will face unlawful confinement charges as a result of the incident Sunday morning.
