text: Show Hide image Politics 21 May 2012 Consumer spending power declines by 0.9 per cent Britons had £100 a year less to spend on non-essential items, according to Lloyds TSB. Sign up for our weekly email * Despite recent falls in inflation, UK consumer spending power declined by 0.9 per cent in April due to weak income growth, according to a new report from Lloyds TSB. On average, this decline equates to £100 less a year to spend on non-essential items. Real incomes fell by 1.6 per cent in April as earnings before inflation grew at their slowest pace since February 2011 (2.2 per cent). Spending on essential items continues to grow at a fast pace, with annual growth at 4.6 per cent in April. In the online survey of 2,380 consumers, conducted between 24 and 30 April, 11.7 per cent reported a rise in spending on both gas and electricity; 9.1 per cent also reported a rise in water bills. However, these were offset by falls in the growth in spending on food (6.8 per cent) and fuel (6.8 per cent). Some 86 per cent of consumers have noticed the cost of essential items and everyday spending increase over the past 12 months. This compares to 73 per cent in March, indicating that a growing number of people are feeling a noticeable effect from rising prices on their pockets. Patrick Foley, chief economist at Lloyds TSB, said: Household finances are still under real pressure despite the significant falls in inflation we have seen over the past seven months. Although unemployment has been broadly stable, wage growth has eased and so incomes are growing well below their long-term average. Even though we expect to see further falls in inflation, the weakness in the broader economy is likely to mean that consumers aren't going to feel any better off in the near future. The proportion of consumers who think that the UK's level of inflation is "not at all good" spiked by 6 percentage points to 34 per cent between March and April. In particular, rises in food and clothing prices were cited as causing concern. However, consumer spending on food and drink declined from 7.5 per cent in March to 6.8 per cent in April. Meanwhile, 37 per cent of consumers feel that they are spending a lot more on petrol and diesel compared to the same time last year, while 67 per cent have seen an increase in their spending to some degree. This compares to 64 per cent who stated that they had felt an increase to some degree in the 12 months to March. Between 18 and 19 per cent of consumers stated that they have been spending all of their income on household bills and essentials since January 2012. While this figure has remained fairly constant, the proportion saying they spend around three-quarters of their income increased from 45 per cent in March to 48 per cent in April. Jatin Patel, director of current accounts for Lloyds TSB, said: There was little respite for consumers in April and it is clear that a growing number are feeling concerned about the state of the UK's economic situation. This will not have been aided by news suggesting that the UK has entered into a double dip recession, while continued weak income growth and rising prices act as a very tangible drag on sentiment. While spending power is not being eroded at quite the same pace as the beginning of last year, events in the global economy will likely have a significant bearing on consumer spending power in the months ahead.

U.S. Senator Debbie Stabenow (D-MI), Chairwoman of the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry, and Senator Pat Roberts (R-KS), the Committee's Ranking Member, today applauded MF Global Trustee Louis Freeh for heeding their call to drop any possible plan to pay bonuses to MF Global executives. MF Global's bankruptcy last year, the eighth largest in U.S. history, resulted in a loss of as much as $1.6 billion of the firm's customer's money. Thousands of farmers, ranchers and small business owners are still owed tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars.
"It would have been absolutely outrageous if bonuses were paid to the very people who were in charge as MF Global went bankrupt and lost its customers' money," Stabenow said. "Families across the country who had accounts with MF Global are still waiting to get their money back. I am glad Mr. Freeh has agreed that the people in charge should be held accountable, not rewarded with bonuses."
"Victims of the MF Global collapse still waiting on their own money to be returned can rest assured that at least the executives that may have put them in this position will not be rewarded for the mess they created," Roberts said.
On March 15, following news reports of possible requests for bonuses for MF Global executives, Senators Stabenow and Roberts sent a bipartisan letter to Mr. Freeh, signed by all of their colleagues on the Agriculture Committee, urging him to drop any proposal to award bonuses to top executives. Mr. Freeh responded on March 16 and declined to commit to the Committee's request.
Senator Stabenow and Roberts then cosponsored a bipartisan resolution opposing the bonuses. That resolution passed the Senate unanimously on March 27.
Last December, Senators Stabenow and Roberts convened a hearing to investigate the collapse of MF Global, where top executives testified and indicated that they didn't know where customer money had gone. Two of those very executives were among those who may have received bonuses.

Financing Future Intercity Transportation Systemsby Ronald W. Pulling,
Serial Information: Journal of the Highway Division, 1965, Vol. 91, Issue 1, Pg. 1-14
Document Type: Journal Paper
Continued growth of intercity travel requires an integrated transportation system. A high-speed rail system between Boston and Washington, D. C., will supplement existing transport systems. The financing of such a system using federal, local government, and private funds needs serious consideration and further study. Future economic growth is dependent on solving foreseeable intercity transportation problems. The magnitude of capital expenditures requires analysis of all alternatives for optimum use of resources.

George Eliot was born Mary Ann Evans on a Warwickshire farm in England, where she spent almost all of her early life. She received a modest local education and was particularly influenced by one of her teachers, an extremely religious woman whom the novelist would later use as a model for various characters. Eliot read extensively, and was particularly drawn to the romantic poets and German literature. In 1849, after the death of her father, she went to London and became assistant editor of the Westminster Review, a radical magazine. She soon began publishing sketches of country life in London magazines. At about his time Eliot began her lifelong relationship with George Henry Lewes. A married man, Lewes could not marry Eliot, but they lived together until Lewes's death. Eliot's sketches were well received, and soon after she followed with her first novel, Adam Bede (1859). She took the pen name "George Eliot" because she believed the public would take a male author more seriously. Like all of Eliot's best work, The Mill on the Floss (1860), is based in large part on her own life and her relationship with her brother. In it she begins to explore male-female relations and the way people's personalities determine their relationships with others. She returns to this theme in Silas Mariner (1861), in which she examines the changes brought about in life and personality of a miser through the love of a little girl. In 1863, Eliot published Romola. Set against the political intrigue of Florence, Italy, of the 1490's, the book chronicles the spiritual journey of a passionate young woman. Eliot's greatest achievement is almost certainly Middlemarch (1871). Here she paints her most detailed picture of English country life, and explores most deeply the frustrations of an intelligent woman with no outlet for her aspirations. This novel is now regarded as one of the major works of the Victorian era and one of the greatest works of fiction in English. Eliot's last work was Daniel Deronda. In that work, Daniel, the adopted son of an aristocratic Englishman, gradually becomes interested in Jewish culture and then discovers his own Jewish heritage. He eventually goes to live in Palestine. Because of the way in which she explored character and extended the range of subject matter to include simple country life, Eliot is now considered to be a major figure in the development of the novel. She is buried in Highgate Cemetery, North London, England, next to her common-law husband, George Henry Lewes.

Goal.com spoke with the Pirates coach Roger De Sa ahead of their crucial clash against Ajax Cape Town on Wednesday night
Orlando Pirates coach Roger De Sa has told Goal.com that he is more than happy to have striker Benni McCarthy back in his team, but he revealed that every player has to fight for their place in the starting line-up.
McCarthy started training with the rest of the squad a few weeks back, but he has only played once as a substitute since returning from the injury.
"Benni is part of the squad and we are happy to have him back, but that doesn't not mean he will play in every game. There are players who have been doing well in his position," De Sa told Goal.com.
"He's not fully fit to play a full 90 minutes and we cannot take that risk just because the fans want him in the field. Pirates is a big club and not a one man team," he said.
De Sa assured the Pirates fans that the relationship between him and McCarthy is great, and that he still wants to work with the former Blackburn Rovers marksman in the future.
McCarthy hasn't signed an extension with Pirates and his contract is coming to an end in June. He is believed to be leaving Pirates at the end of the season.
"My relationship with Benni is great. There is nothing personal going on between him and I. I love working with Benni and I hope he stays at Pirates, because this is not about the two of us, but the whole team," added De Sa.

Gatewood Galbraith
January 4, 2012 by staff
Gatewood Galbraith, Lexington lawyer Gatewood Galbraith, a perennial candidate for public office and one of the more colorful characters on Kentucky's political landscape, has died at his home in Lexington at age 64, the Fayette County Coroner's office said Wednesday.
The cause of death was listed as complications from chronic emphysema.
According to the coroner's office, Galbraith was found unresponsive in his bed Wednesday morning by family members.
"He had been sick for several days with congestion in his lungs (and) … had been suffering from cold-like symptoms which had been complicated by chronic asthma and emphysema," the office said in a statement.
Galbraith ran as an independent candidate for governor last November with businesswoman Dea Riley as his lieutenant governor running mate. He finished third in the three-candidate race, which was won by incumbent Gov. Steve Beshear.
"Dear friends I have just been notified that Gatewood passed away last night," Riley said in a Facebook posting Wednesday. "I am heading to Lexington to be with his family. Please say a prayer for his family and friends and all those who loved him."
Galbraith attracted attention as a young candidate for being a proponent of legalized marijuana, wearing a hemp suit and campaigning in his "hempmobile," a used Mercedez-Benz station wagon that ran on hemp oil. In later years, he toned down such activities and took a more conservative stance in repeated, though unsuccessful, runs for office.
But he remained colorful and controversial, unleashing a fiery speech at last year's annual Fancy Farm political picnic in August.
Over several decades, Galbraith ran five times for governor — three times as a Democrat, once on the Reform ticket and last year as an independent. He also ran unsuccessfully for state agriculture commissioner, attorney general and Congress.
Beshear issued a statement Wednesday saying that he and his wife, Jane, are saddened by Galbraith's death.
"Jane and I were shocked and saddened to learn of Gatewood's passing," Beshear said. "He was a gutsy, articulate and passionate advocate who never shied away from a challenge or potential controversy.
"His runs for office prove he was willing to do more than just argue about the best direction for the state — he was willing to serve, and was keenly interested in discussing issues directly with our citizens. He will be missed."
House Speaker Greg Stumbo, D-Prestonsburg, said Galbraith "had a commonsense way of looking at problems and government. Even though some of his ideas may have been far-fetched, others were worth certainly considering."
In his most recent bid for governor, Galbraith said his views were straighforward and simple.
"I'm a Barry Goldwater conservative," he told The Courier-Journal in October. "I want the government to stay out of my life unless I represent a threat to somebody else or their property."

"Those are astronomical numbers. I'm floored," said Dr. William Graf, a pediatric neurologist in New Haven and a professor at the Yale School of Medicine. "Mild symptoms are being diagnosed so readily, which goes well beyond the disorder and beyond the zone of ambiguity to pure enhancement of children who are otherwise healthy."
Dr. Graf hits on a central issue with A.D.H.D.: there are incentives beyond the doctor's best judgment to diagnose children with the disorder. A.D.H.D. is typically treated with medication such Ritalin and Adderall, which combat the inability to focus and sit still typical of A.D.H.D. by temporarily improving one's ability to concentrate. That's not something that benefits just students with A.D.H.D., children, especially in very competitive schools, enjoy the medically fueled boost. According to the New York Times:
Several doctors mentioned that advertising from the pharmaceutical industry that played off parents' fears — showing children struggling in school or left without friends — encouraged parents and doctors to call even minor symptoms A.D.H.D. and try stimulant treatment. For example, a pamphlet for Vyvanse from its manufacturer, Shire, shows a parent looking at her son and saying, "I want to do all I can to help him succeed."
Sales of stimulants to treat A.D.H.D. have more than doubled to $9 billion in 2012 from $4 billion in 2007, according to the health care information company IMS Health.
So, kids benefit from higher performance, and parents feel assured that they are helping their child succeed. Drug companies make billions and doctors get paid and keep everyone happy. It's an insidious cycle. Why insidious? Because it can get young kids hooked on stimulants from a young age, lead to high blood pressure, and put kids who aren't getting medication at a disadvantage, who have to compete with turbo-powered classmates with loosely given A.D.H.D. diagnoses.
"There's a tremendous push where if the kid's behavior is thought to be quote-unquote abnormal — if they're not sitting quietly at their desk — that's pathological, instead of just childhood," said Dr. Jerome Groopman, a professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School and the author of "How Doctors Think."
There's no clear mechanism to put the brakes on this cycle. In fact, new changes to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders to be released in its 5th edition, may specifically allow more adolescents and adults to qualify for a diagnosis, according to several people involved in the discussions. Currently, symptoms have to appear before the age of 7 for a diagnosis of A.D.H.D. to be given. That may be changed to the age of 12, which will open the gates wider to more A.D.H.D. diagnoses. One can qualify for A.D.H.D. with signs like repeatedly losing one's cellphone or losing focus during paperwork, and the requirement that symptoms merely "impact" daily activities, rather than cause "impairment."
Seriously, how many people can you think of that wouldn't qualify under those criteria?
There's no easy solution here, but one thing that isn't helping is the profit-motivated drug companies pushing on all sides. I don't blame them for wanting more profits, but that should not be a principle motive in diagnosing childhood disorders.

School District 27J is seeking community input on the naming of its two newest schools, Middle School No. 5 and High School No. 3.
The comprehensive High School No. 3 campus is currently under construction at the southeast corner of 136th Avenue and Yosemite Street in Thornton. It is scheduled to open in August 2018 and will be home to ninth- and 10th-grade students. High School No. 3 will also temporarily house sixth- through eighth-grade students until the permanent Middle School No. 5 campus opens in August 2020 at the southwest corner of 136th Avenue and Yosemite Street in Thornton. The selected middle school name will follow with students and staff to the new facility.
School District 27J middle schools have, traditionally, been named for 1) an educator who has provided outstanding service to the district, the state or the nation and who has worked toward quality schools and communities; 2) an outstanding person of the local community; or 3) the geographical area in which the school is located. District high schools are generally named for the locality or community in which they are located. If any school is named for an individual, that individual should be retired from school or community affairs or deceased.

Not the Type
pardon our French
There is the standard preamble before kissing. We talk about something unimportant, doing the necessary fiddling and waiting before the opportunity to devour each other. This is how I imagine the "standard preamble," since I haven't brought many men to my bedroom before Adrien. Too tired, not ready, looking for something different. But here is this Parisian, kissing me gently now with plenty of spit, pushed against my secondhand dresser.
The kisses are good. Exceptional, really. Like French pop from the 60s. Our heads lock together, rock together as we move to my cheap Walmart bed with the mattress that came rolled up in a box. He says nothing about the squeaks coming from the bed's plastic legs and crumbling frame. Secretly, I hope he finds these squeaks endearing, nostalgic, just like I do.
Adrien pulls my legs over his shoulders, sliding off my pants even though they're skinny
and my thighs have grown too big for them. He pauses, my underwear in his hands.
"This is what I've wanted all day," he says, looking up with a smile, and then I'm naked.
Earlier in the day, Adrien called my ass a "Juicy Lucy," the name of a famous Minnesotan burger stuffed with cheese. Carbs and fats and heart attacks, the Juicy Lucy is Minnesota's state treasure. The burger is never going away because Minnesotans are proud people. These are the people who wear shorts when it's 35 degrees. As long as the Minnesota State Fair stands and Babe the Blue Ox roams the north woods, the Juicy Lucy will be made. Chefs will argue on Cedar Avenue about whether it's Jucy or Juicy, but the patty production will never cease. I like the thought that my ass is Minnesota's state treasure. Obama has eaten a Juicy Lucy.
Adrien says many American phrases that aren't so sexy. He says "no biggie" and "booyah" and asks if Lake Street is the "hood." I don't blame him, as he gathered all his ideas of American culture from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I gently correct him on some of these idiomatic missteps, though he has quickly learned that repeating these phrases makes me uptight and touchy, which I guess he thinks is cute. But Juicy Lucy – I do not correct Juicy Lucy.
We gasp for air. Foreplay, check.
"Roll over," he says.
The Internet told me a good bottom should trim, shave, lotion, and douche prior to encountering his top. I give Adrien a look that signals I have completed these steps.
"I'm going to take a nap on your ass."
"A nap?"
"You know," he says, "like your ass will be my pillow, and you'll put your head – your head, um – " he searches for English, "under my balls."
Hmm, I think. This must be a French nap.
I called my mother one time and told her I wanted to be the kind of boy who has "a type. "Things seem more enjoyable for men who can view men as body parts. But my taste is a shotgun, not a rifle. I liked Rick, the Marxist middle school teacher who lived in a mansion and had a beer belly. I liked John, the slender urban planner with a pornstache who picked me up when a rainstorm scared away all the taxis. I liked Michael, the grocer who was a yoga teacher and then a chef and then a real estate agent but always a prick.
I made a list.
Boy Next Door. Slim. Or Fit? Not Too Fit. I Don't Care About Their Body As Long As They Have Mysterious Eyes. No, As Long As They Have Thick Eyebrows. But Maybe I Want A Daddy. An Iranian Painter. Intelligent But Generous. Foreskin Optional. Tattoos Preferable. Not Corporate. Ezra Miller. But Not Ezra Miller From We Need To Talk About Kevin.
It wasn't helpful.
Adrien's balls are fine. Relaxed, even. Hygienic.
This is all very new to me.
"Mm," he moans, "this is nice."
I imagine napping on my ass is probably nice. Pale, hairless, round, and firm. A quality pillow.
He's getting the better deal, I think, attempting to mouth-breathe under his scrotum.
"Yeah, this is nice, too," I say. I might mean it.
"Would you consider this sex?" Adrien asks, pulling his head up from my ass.
The skin of his cheek and the skin of my left butt cling to each other a little before they *pop* apart. I wish the spot of the *pop* would leave a permanent mark so I could show it to the world. "Here," I'll say, proudly displaying the beige mark, "is where a Parisian napped on my ass." On my right buttock is a similar beige mark, which I say is a birthmark, even though it's a burn from a tanning bed I used in the back of a rural post office in the Rocky Mountains. The Parisian nap mark would be much more impressive.
"No," I say, "I typically only call penetration sex."
"Ugh, Americans." He rolls his eyes – he's very good at this. I'm jealous of how good he is at this. "So if I put my cock in your mouth,"
he does, "is this sex?"
My mother always said I should never talk with my mouth full.
Pulling out, he retreats and sits on my hips, legs riding off like I'm a saddle. I like him in this position – on top. I fear this means I'm not a real bottom. I frequently have this fear.
"In France, it's all sex. What if I don't want to fuck you? Like today, I was so horny before meeting you." Say more, I think. "I kept masturbating but not coming. So I'm spent. But, I wanna be here with you. I wanna see your ass. I wanna lie on your chest, spoon you, nap together." This must be how women felt in 90s Rom-Coms, like how Meg Ryan felt in those movies my mother likes. "And I wanna fuck you in your mouth."
He stops, content with this final statement. I'm learning he gives a consistent pucker whenever he's proud of himself.
"But real talk now. You want to have real talk?"
I say yes before I'm able to ponder 1) How he learned the phrase "real talk," and 2) How I've never had someone ask for "real talk," for boundary setting, for relationship defining, on Date Three. "Do we sleep with other people?" "Yes," I say, knowing that's what he wants. "Good. Do we tell each other?" I feel a familiar panic, the one that begins as a lump in my throat. I'll soon overthink our texts and check if he's on Grindr. Remember, you have a life, and it does not revolve around Adrien, I'll think before swiping through his pictures. Those lips. That hair.
I bite his neck and say, "I wanna know everything." He smirks, but in a kind of scary way. "Come up here," he says. I pull up to his face. "Now kiss me." We do. There's a lot of spit. There's always a lot of spit.
In between the kisses, I stop myself from giving every compliment I can think of. I know that saying your eyes are blood moons, your hair is a field of Afghan poppies, your testicles smell nice is a sweet disguise for please stay. I can change, but please stay. He whispers, "You're my beetch." "Do you mean bitch?" I ask. "Yes. Beetch." "So I'm a hookup?" "No," he says, tersely. He's ruffled up. Angry? "No. You're not a hookup. You're my beetch." "Do you have a lot of bitches?" "I had beetches in Paris," he sighs. "But I let all my beetches go. I said, 'Be free beetches. Go be your beetch selves.'"
This is a boy who says a nap on my ass is sex, so all my former relationship lingo is out the fenêtre.
"So, I'm your bitch, and we sleep together, and we go on dates – " "I give you homework," He interrupts. "Like…" "Have sex with other people. Once a week." He puckers, satisfied. "I could," My answer isn't entirely certain, "definitely do that." Each word assembles a new possible-me. "Do we kiss in public?" He asks. Without question, I say: "Yes," but realize this is my first misstep. He squints.
"Oh," I stumble, "We also don't have to kiss in public. I'm kind of new to this – this whole poly thing – "
"No, no," he stumbles too, "you never know – "
"Right," I say, "You never know, but we don't have to – "
"Maybe!" He blurts out. "Let's see how it goes."
"Great." The negotiation is over. His tongue gives me a slow and proper physical, wandering from my neck to my thighs.
I'm thinking maybe Adrien is my type. Maybe I've always been waiting for some dom French top, ready to tell me how I like it and when I like it, confidently moving my body and spanking my imagination. Maybe I've just been waiting for someone to say, "Now kiss me." Or maybe this is just another experiment. I'm exhausted by the idea that this experiment will be followed by another, and another, and another. "Keep going," I ask. He smiles. "You're never satisfied." "That's not – " He eats me out. It's better than a Juicy Lucy.

Carnival Keeps on Sailing: Carnival Freedom Cruise Review by Rosey48
Overall Member Rating
Carnival Keeps on Sailing
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)
Security flagged our cans of coke and our small electric fan but a supervisor let it go through. Next time we will take plastic bottles as Carnival doesn't care about soft drinks.
We had a balcony cabin midship and for us it is a perfect location. Close to the action on the fifth deck and can get there without the elevator. We had calm seas and sunny weather the whole trip which offered a perfect combination for a good time.
We thought More we were getting John Heald as cruise director for the week and we had lunch on Lido on Sunday next to him. He said he remembered us from the Dream in January 2010 and he made us feel welcome. He had a brand new CD on board and Dan turned out to be very good but John was not going to be cruise director for us. Our loss.
This was our first time on the Freedom but we had been on the Glory in 2006 so the layout was familiar. I won't say much about the ports of call except we really like Key West and all the excursions there are well organized, run on time and worth the money. After we left Key West the ship had an medical emergency and had to return near Key West for a ambulance boat to take off a passenger. I bet many passengers did not ever know we visited Key West twice on this trip.
We cruise for several main reasons and one is for the casino. There could have been a fewer newer machines but we got by with the older ones.
Dinner in the evening was a little slow as waiters had lots of tables to cover. Carnival could do a little better here. But the extra time allowed us to enjoy our dinner table companions. We had two delightful couples; one from Rhode Island and the other from Alberta Canada. This is an part of cruising we really enjoy and that is meeting other people from all over.
This might be a good point to comment on some of the other reviews from people who can complain about most anything. It is a kick to read these reviews and imagine how awful it must be to live with these people all the time. We take cruises as an adventure from our regular daily routine and know that there will a few things that happen that are not the most enjoyable; but roll with the deal, right? and have fun. Laugh about it. I have to say something about people who complain about the smoking. On a balcony cabin with the wind there is no way smoke could ruin the trip for someone.
We tendered in the Caymans and the line to get off the ship was very long but to our delight it moved quickly and we were off the ship and on our way in short order.
We were a little surprised to find out there were no production shows a couple of nights. We were also surprised to find Heather Wagner on board as we enjoyed her on the Dream last year. She has a real nice voice.
Here are some new things we learned......Get the future cruise certificate. it is a good deal and you can't lose on it. Totally refundable if you want.
Carnival had a cruise talk seminar that I thought was a good idea. We found out that our personal vacation planner at Carnival is a good way to book which is the method we have been using.
There was a Cruise Critic meet and greet that was a little disappointing. I would have wanted a little presentation from somebody but there was none.
Debark went smoothly and the Freedom published the order of decks to self assist debark and that was helpful. That is the way to do it if you can manage handling the luggage yourself.
All in all we left the week planning the next Carnival cruise. Good job Carnival! Less

Target: The Jim Henson Company's CEO, Lisa Henson
Goal: To thank the Jim Henson Company for taking a stand against intolerance and encourage its leaders to make similar future decisions.
If Chick-fil-A was banking on the support of Ms. Piggy and Kermit the Frog, it had better start looking elsewhere. The Jim Henson Company, which started in 1958 when a certain puppeteer named Jim Henson created The Muppets, has officially ended its partnership with the homophobic fast food chain. Tell CEO Lisa Henson and the leaders of this company that this move is surely a step in the right direction.
Due to a large outcry from LGBT blogs, the Chick-fil-A controversy has been a heated topic in recent months. And it just keeps getting worse for the restaurant: Chick-fil-A President Dan Cathy told the Baptist Press that same-sex marriage will result in "God's judgment on our nation." He is a self-proclaimed proponent of "traditional marriage."
According to gay and lesbian news website LGBTQNation, Cathy has donated millions to organizations opposed to LGBT rights. LGBTQNation reports that the Jim Henson Company formerly allowed Chick-fil-A to include Creature Shop toys in its kids meals.
Now, the Jim Henson Company, in a brave show of support for the LGBT community, will make a donation to the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD).
"We have notified Chick-Fil-A that we do not wish to partner with them on any future endeavors," read a statement on the Jim Henson Company's Facebook page. "Lisa Henson, our CEO, is personally a strong supporter of gay marriage and has directed us to donate the payment we received from Chick-Fil-A to GLAAD."
By signing the petition below, you will stand strong with the Jim Henson Company's support for human rights.
Dear Jim Henson Company CEO Lisa Henson,
We applaud your recent decision to end your business partnership with Chick-fil-A. At the helm of this fast food chain sits President Dan Cathy, who has claimed that same-sex marriage will incite "God's judgment on our nation." This stance is misguided, hateful, and potentially harmful to impressionable LGBT youth.
Gays and lesbians deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. However, Chick-fil-A's homophobic attitudes hinder progress and hurt the LGBT community.
Thank you for your efforts to ensure that your company is on the right side of history. Please continue your support in the future.
[Your Name Here]

IT Spending Trends in the Chinese Securities Industry
The market capitalization of China's Shanghai Stock Exchange was US$1.4 trillion as of December 2008, ranking the exchange sixth in the world and second in Asia. However, as a result of the financial crisis, IT spending growth from 2009 to 2012 will remain low.
In a new report, IT Spending Trends in the Chinese Securities Industry, Celent analyzes securities IT spending in this important market. With increased development, the proportion of IT investment dedicated to hardware will continue to decline, while software and services spending will rise. Securities firms will begin to build systems for risk management, business intelligence, and CRM once centralization of systems is complete.
There is a significant relationship between the scale of IT investments in the securities industry and trading volumes in the capital markets. In 2008, the average total daily trading volume of annual stocks, funds, warrants and bonds in the Chinese securities market was 150.9 billion shares, 36% less than 2007. In addition to supporting new asset classes and financial products being provided by securities dealers, complementary business systems are an important aspect of IT applications.
"STP is one of the hot areas," says Hua Zhang, analyst with Celent's Asia Research Group and author of the report. "With the opening up of the Chinese market, the trading process will gradually become more complex, especially when the A and B markets merge. There is a need to strengthen STP professional standards."
In the securities IT market, the top five major software manufacturers have seized 70% of the market. The main suppliers include: HiSunTech, SZKingdom, SunGard, Hundsun, and Sunyard. Other than NCR, the top 10 solutions application manufacturers in the securities industry are entirely Chinese.
Celent is a research and advisory firm dedicated to helping financial institutions formulate comprehensive business and technology strategies. Celent publishes reports identifying trends and best practices in financial services technology and conducts consulting engagements for financial institutions looking to use technology to enhance existing business processes or launch new business strategies.

Lipid extraction and thin layer chromatography
Total lipid extracts were prepared from brains, sciatic nerves, or purified myelin (from 4-week-old animals) according to Bligh and Dyer
Isolation of myelin
Compact myelin was isolated by sucrose gradient centrifugation as described by Norton and Poduslo
Analysis of CHAPS insoluble membrane fractions
CHAPS insoluble membrane fractions (CIMF) of purified myelin were prepared by optiprep density gradient centrifugation of myelin samples treated with 20 mM CHAPS at 37°C, as described previously
MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry
MALDI-TOF MS of hexosylceramides was done as described
Western blotting
Brain samples were homogenized in 20 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0), 150 mM NaCl (TBS), containing 5 mM EDTA and 1 mM PMSF, using an Ultra-Turrax tissue homogenizer (IKA-Werke, Staufen, Germany). Homogenates were centrifuged at 1,000×g for 5 min and the supernatant was mixed with SDS-PAGE sample buffer containing 2-mercaptoethanol. Proteins were separated in 12.5%-polyacrylamide gels and transferred to nitrocellulose membranes by semi-dry blotting. Membranes were stained with rabbit anti-myelin basic protein (MBP; dilution 1:10,000; Millipore, Schwalbach, Germany) and mouse anti-alpha-tubulin (Developmental Studies Hybridoma Bank, University of Iowa). Bound secondary antibodies were detected by enhanced chemiluminescence as described
Morphometrical analysis
Axon caliber and myelin thickness were measured on toluidine-stained semithin sections of the cervical spinal cord of 4-week-old mice. Axonal caliber was determined by the diameter of a circle of area equivalent to each axon. The g-ratio was determined by dividing the diameter of the axon by the diameter of the fiber (axon with myelin). Quantification of myelinated axons was performed with a semi-automatic program on the basis of AnalySIS using a light microscope (100× objective, BX60, Olympus). All morphometric measurements were conducted in a blinded manner using coded sections. Ultrathin sections (50 nm) were photomicrographed with an EM10 electron microscope (Zeiss, Germany) at a magnification of 16.000×.

MM carried out the animal work, performed lipid and Western blot analyses and CIMF experiments. JJ carried out the morphometrical analyses and participated in writing the draft manuscript. CG participated in the design and coordination of the study. VG participated in the design and coordination of the study. ME conceived and designed the study, wrote the draft manuscript, and participated in the lipid and Western blot analyses. All authors read and approved the final manuscript.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I'm a USC and 7 years ago I met my wife in her native country. My lawyer suggested I file the I-129F to bring her to the US but because the I-129F was taking too long, she suggested I file the I-130 also. The I-130 was approved and we decided to move to the US w/ her then 18 year old son who was part of the petition. We planned to file the I-485 for both of them but we took too long to do it bc my lawyer asked for an exorbitant amount of money to do it. I finally filed it on my own. Although the everything was done correctly (per USCIS interviewer) at the USCIS interview the agent told us that the I-485 was denied bc the State Dpt had revoked the approval of the visa petition filed on her behalf perhaps bc we took too long in applying.The officer said that we had to start from the begininMy question is: Can I go ahead and file the I-130 and the I-485 concurrently or do we have to file a waiver I-601A before we do the I-485? My wife got a letter saying that she was not authorized to remain in the county and to leave asap this is why I thought she might needed a waiver. The letter also says that she can file a motion I-290B but not for decisions taken by the Dept of State...so...there is no point on filing that. Can we just do the I-130 and I-485 then before 30 days?
You haven't stated any ground for why your wife would need an I-601A waiver. File the I-130 and the I-485 together, one for your wife and one for your son (assuming that he was under 18 when your marriage took place).
Please see
Mr. Shusterman's (former INS Trial Attorney, 1976-82) response to your question is general in nature, as not all the facts are known to him. You should retain an attorney experienced in immigration law to review all the facts in your case in order to receive advice specific to your case. Mr. Shusterman's statement above does not create an attorney/client relationship.Ask a similar question
I thought we needed a waiver bc we got a letter saying that she was not authorized to remain in the country bc her stay had expired and that she should depart asap. Thank you for being so specific. So the USCIS was right when she said that we would have to start from the beginning? Which I don't mind at all as long as she can stay in USA.
USCIS is correct. And no waiver is needed. Good luck!
The answer to your question depends on whether your spouse and son face any grounds of inadmissibility to permanent resident status. It would be best for you to consult directly with an immigration attorney to go over all the details of their immigration history to arrive at the correct answer.

You should file the I-130 and I-485 as soon as possible.
Alexus P. Sham-The above information is only general in nature and does not constitute legal advice. It does not create an attorney-client relationship.Ask a similar question
Thank you so much!
You can file and I-130 and I-485 concurrently, and unfortunately, you will have to pay filing fees, get new photos, a new medical exam, etc. However, since there was a revocation and some delays, it might be best to meet up with an attorney to look over everything. A meeting with an attorney prior to filing on your own may have saved you time and money as an attorney may have picked up on the revocation. You were supposed to have received notice of this.
Also, depending on how your wife entered the country, a local adjudicating officer may start to ask questions about her most recent entry and whether or not she had immigrant intent at the beginning. That may be how the subject of the I-601 arose. Did they accuse her of fraud for some reason in the denial?
Either way, it is a good idea to meet with an attorney to review everything at this point.
Mr. Clopman is a member of The Florida Bar practicing in South Florida. He focuses his practice on matters involving immigration and nationality law. His responses contain general information and they do not create an attorney-client relationship. Users should formally consult with an attorney to obtain an evaluation of the specific facts of a case.Ask a similar question
Yes, you can file the I-130 and the I-485 concurrently for your wife and for your son, assuming he was under 18 when you were married and assuming he is not yet 21. If you are unsure about the process and have concerns about the previous complications in the case, you can consult with a knowledgeable immigration attorney.Ask a similar question
In order to answer your question it is necessary to know why the visa was previously revoked. Based on the information you have supplied it is not possible to tell you whether a waiver is needed. Was the I 130 denied or just the immigrant visa? It may be that a new I 130 is not necessary. If an I 130 is necessary file the petition and application together for both wife and step son. You are talking about a lot of money in filing fees alone. I strongly suggest you consult with an experienced immigration attorney before you go forward.Ask a similar question

The year is 1926, and the Great Houdini is taking his crusade against Spiritualism and fake mediums straight to the public in a series of performance lectures filled with magic and seance-debunking. At the same time, his good friend Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, author of the Sherlock Holmes mysteries, is lecturing on behalf of Spiritualism, believing it to be "a great Philosophy" that will usher in a new age for mankind. Watch these two legends battle over the true nature of magic.
Over a year of research shaped Houdini Speaks to the Living, bringing material straight from correspondence, essays, photographs, diaries, and books from the Harry Ransom Center's Harry Houdini and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle collections. About 75% of the play is verbatim theatre, the Hidden Room is indeed conjuring the very essences of Houdini and Doyle. Enjoy magic, ghost stories, and a great meeting of minds that is the perfect spectacle for your Halloween celebrations.

Voyeur : March 2009
KNOW_IT_ALL_ HIT THE ROAD Cl ACTIONass SUPERSTAR LOOKS AND AFFORDABILITY COLLIDE IN MERCEDES-BENZ'S NEW CLC 200 COUPÉ. W e'd all lovea Mercedes-Benz coupé gracing our driveway, but common wisdomsuggests that such delights are – for most of us at least – out of reach. Or are they? Benz's new entry-level coupé, the CLC 200 Kompressor, is classy enough to raise property values wherever it is parked but, thanks to prices starting at $49,900, you won't have to sell both kidneys in order to get one. Cast an eye over the CLC's aggressive nose and chiselled tail and its heritage is clear, with more than a suggestion of the big-dollar style on show in the muchmore expensive Mercedes-Benz CL coupé. And while nobody's going to confuse it with its $300k-plus sibling, driving the cheaper CLC is a little like dating Angelina Jolie's sister — you can take comfort in the fact that you've made it into a very attractive family. If you notice an underlying familiarity when driving the CLC 200 Kompressor, that's because it's not a brand-spanking new model but, instead, a rather serious rehash of the already existing C-Class Sports Coupé model. It's something that's obvious when you step inside, where the old-generation visuals are close to the surface. But old doesn't mean unpleasant, and the dignified cabin ambience is enhanced by a new multi-function steering wheel, chrome- ringed instruments and revised trim. It's easy to live with, too. The driving position is low and sporty but as comfortable as an armchair, the back seat has space for burly blokes and the boot is big and well-shaped. The CLC comes in three flavours. The standard CLC 200 Kompressor gets climate control, cruise control and 17-inch alloys, while the $53,900 Evolution picks up toys like bi-Xenon headlamps, and the $58,988 Evolution + has all of these extras, as well as a panoramic sunroof. There's less variation under the skin, where a refined 135kW, 1.8-litre supercharged four-cylinder engine powers all models. It's no firecracker, especially when combined with the smooth five-speed auto, but has enough get-up- and-go to make the most of the agile handling, while staying respectably light on the juice. UNDER THE HOOD Model :: Mercedes-Benz CLC 200 Kompressor Engine :: 1.8-litre supercharged four-cylinder Power :: 135kW @ 5,500rpm Torque :: 250Nm @ 2,800rpm Transmission :: Six-speed manual or five-speed tiptronic auto Fuel consumption :: 8.4L/100km Acceleration :: 0-100km/h in 8.6 seconds Fuel tank :: 62 litres RRP :: From$49,900 020 VIRGINBLUE TEXT :: CAMERON MCGAVIN // PHOTOGRAPHY :: AUTONEWS ?

I'm looking to promote a new wiki I have created. The roleplaying wiki is a place where users can join games with other users to create a neat game. These games will be played very easily, for example:
John: Hi, Bob!
Bob: Hi, John! *eats apple*
--And that's basically how to roleplay for those who don't know how to. These 'games' can range from mysteries to horror, from adventure to competition. You can also make character pages for custom characters you make to put in these games. Be creative!
The Roleplaying Wiki will be a fun place to go. Come join now and help us grow! It's very simple to do. We look forward to seeing you there. :)
We currently have 4 users including myself.

Kenneth Kort
Kenneth Kort holds a B.S. and Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University at Buffalo. As an undergraduate, Kenneth was a member of the University at Buffalo's Student Affiliates of the American Chemical Society and served as a representative to the university's Student Association. Kenneth is also a member of Alpha Phi Omega, a national co-ed service fraternity, and Alpha Chi Sigma, a professional chemistry fraternity, both of which he continued to be active with while in graduate school by serving as an advisor.
Kenneth's graduate research focused on the synthesis, characterization, and spectroscopic studies of novel nanostructured materials. In 2011, Kenneth was selected as a National Science Foundation East Asia Pacific Summer Institute Fellow, where he spent a summer abroad in South Korea carrying out research at Pusan National University. In 2014, Kenneth served as a Christine Mirzayan Science and Technology Policy Graduate Fellow at the National Academy of Sciences where he worked on the National Materials and Manufacturing Board. He was also the recipient of the 2014-2015 New York Section of the Society for Applied Spectroscopy Graduate Student Award for his research on Raman spectroscopy for the determination of free electron density in III-V semiconductors.
After his graduation, Kenneth was hired by the University at Buffalo's New York State Center of Excellence in Materials Informatics to assist with the launch of Buffalo Manufacturing Works, an advanced manufacturing institute to be operated by EWI. After his one year appointment with the University at Buffalo Kenneth became a full-time employee of EWI where he has worked within their additive manufacturing group and materials and testing group.
Kenneth is eager to serve as the 2016-2017 Arthur H. Guenther Congressional Fellow. He has long been interested in policy and believes that his scientific and technical background will allow him to meaningfully contribute to the legislative process, particularly those that pertain to renewable energy, advanced manufacturing, and optoelectronics.

Tags alexa, cinedeck, monitoring, portable-recorder, Video
A camera can only be as good as the recording made from it. In the past year or so we've seen some interesting new portable recording devices such as the AJA Ki Pro and the Convergent Design nanoFlash. Now comes the Cinedeck Extreme, which is not only an excellent recorder but also doubles as a full-featured on-camera monitor. The Cinedeck Extreme can input HD-SDI in 4:2:2 or 4:4:4, as well as HDMI, and record it to the wavelet-based Cineform codec. Coming soon (with a firmware upgrade) will be Avid DNxHD, as well as Uncompressed HD. That's right — an Uncompressed 12-bit RGB HD recorder for under $12K that sits right on top of your camera. Recording media are consumer 2.5″ SSD drives designed for laptops.
The Cinedeck's monitor offers functions such as waveform, vectorscope, false-color exposure meter, audio meters, pixel-to-pixel zoom for focus, grid and frameline overlays, etc. All this in a package about the same size of a standard on-board LCD.
Watch the video for more on the Cinedeck Extreme and to see it mounted to the new ARRI ALEXA Digital Cinema camera.

Women in Business
Female Statistics
Surrey Board of Trade Women in Business Action Plan.
What it's about:
Funding, growth and leadership for female entrepreneurs
The Surrey Board of Trade believes that women leaders are integral to high performing work teams. We know that by propelling women high-growth entrepreneurs and their ventures one by one, we are leading a transformation of the entrepreneurial ecosystem as a whole.
We know that:
- Women-run companies create new jobs 4 times faster than the national average
- Women create companies at double the national average
- The number of women with incorporated businesses more than doubled in the past decade
Creation of Women in Business Team – under the umbrella of the SBOT's Business Centre – is a community of experts committed to propelling female entrepreneurship and young women entrepreneurs – not career focused – but building entrepreneurship for today and tomorrow to ensure full participation as entrepreneurs and leaders in high-growth businesses, fueling innovation and driving economic growth.
Advocacy – Events – Projects – Services through the Surrey Board of Trade's Business Centre
We will actively identify women-led ventures in our Surrey market positioned to be the largest city in British Columbia.
We will be blazing new ground with a differentiated and holistic model that provides inclusive teams and their ventures with services/support they need to propel growth through collaborative partners.
And, in concert with this will be the available opportunity of the SBOT's Mentorship program for our members. As part of SBOT's Workplace Development strategy, the program was designed by specialists in HR and Essential Skills and is unique in the opportunities to help build your bridge to a better work experience.
Mentors will be provided with an Essential Skills training workshop (a $250 value) to develop awareness and enhance their own leadership skills – a great benefit for their organization.
Protégés will have the opportunity to work with an experienced mentor to enhance their oral communication, cultural sensitivity when working with others, critical thinking, and problem solving skills.
Also unique are the sponsorship opportunities to raise your brand through the support of skills development. Information can be found on our webpage under Workforce Development & Education side-bar, and click on Business Mentorship.
The applications for both Mentor and Protégé are now open and will be until mid-April. Space is limited so apply today.
So again, the Surrey Board of Trade has positioned itself to reduce the gender gap, actively support female entrepreneurship, and know that we need to work together to improve access to and quality of programming that empowers women with equal opportunity for success, and champions them as the next great leaders in business.
PeerSpark Program
The PeerSpark Program unites successful female entrepreneurs in their efforts to build confidence, improve their business acumen, and accelerate business success.
The criteria to join is:
- In business more than 2 years
- 7-10 employees but a minimum of 2 employees ( including self = so as long as client has one additional employee)
- Revenues over $ 250K and up to $7M
- A strong desire to grow their business
There will be an info session for those interested and want to learn more about the program and what it offers. The cost of the program is $5,000, but they are also looking at the potential use of Canada Jobs Grant that could reimburse applicants 2/3 of the cost. Small Business BC has been invited to the info session to explain how the Canada Jobs Grant works.

Looks like your chance of knocking me on the head has gone down Salt River.
No other attempt was ever made to establish navigation on Salt River.
It was in the valley of the Salinas (Salt River called Buenaventura in the old maps,) and the haunt of marauding Indians.
We continued on the most direct route into Salt River valley.
At noon we reach the Salt River, twenty-two miles up, which is one of the most marvellous salt deposits in the world.
The Salt River and the Cabaritta, also in the south, are navigable by barges.
We live in the beautiful valley of Salt River, which is a branch of the Gila.
Beyond, the Salt River gleamed with a keen brightness like steel.
I now went home to Salt River to visit my children and prepare for the trip to Mexico.
I could write a book on the doings of Salt River labors, but have not room in this for more than a few items.
a tidal river, 1650s; as a proper name, used early 19c. with reference to backwoods inhabitants of the U.S., especially Kentucky. U.S. political slang phrase to row (someone) up Salt River "send (someone) to political defeat" probably owes its origin to this, as the first attested use (1828) is in a Kentucky context.

Ska Studios' 2D action RPG, Salt & Sanctuary, has been released on PC after previously being released on PlayStation 4.
The game has been favourably reviewed, currently sitting at a rating of 84% on Metacritic. Salt and Sanctuary is comparable to the Dark Souls franchise in many ways, with players able to choose from a variety of classes, accumulate salt (the equivalent of souls), and take on beasts of all shapes and sizes.
Salt & Sanctuary is now available on Steam. It is regularly priced €17.99, but you can get it for 10% less until May 24.

Author | exchange4media News Service | Thursday, Aug 05,2004 7:25 AM
After its sales across the four southern States registered a 40 per cent growth in the first quarter this fiscal, Dabur India has decided to take several initiatives to cash in on the increasing purchasing power of these States.
The company has decided to customise some of its products, reformulate and repackage them to cater to the south Indian palate; strengthen its sales and distribution network in the region and even launch new products first in these markets.
"We traditionally neglected the southern market, focusing mainly on the northern and eastern ones because some of our power brands were not relevant to the South. But after the strong sales growth the four southern States during the first quarter, we have decided to take several initiatives so that the contribution of sales from the South grows. In fact, we expect these four States to double their contribution to the company's topline to 16 per cent over the next two years," Vice-President (Sales), Mr S. Raghunandan, told Business Line.
This South-focus would mean customising products and even re-branding some of DIL's flagship products. For example, the company's largest flagship brand Chyawanprash may be reformulated to suit the south Indian palate and it could be repackaged to account for language differences. In the South, Chyawanprash could even be sold as a powder!
Mr Raghunandan said the company is conducting research to decide on the final formulation and packaging of Chyawanprash meant for the southern markets.
Other well-known brands where the re-branding option is being considered are Hajmola, Pudin Hara group of products and Dabur Lal Tel.
"We may look at altering brand names and packaging to cater to local needs. For example, Hajmola and Dabur Lal Tel are very Hindi-sounding names. These brands may be re-packaged with labels in local languages," he said.
Again, the Vatika brand has a strong equity in the southern markets, especially in the case of coconut hair oil, and the company will use this brand extensively to focus on the region.
And even as product and packaging will be customised to suit this region, DIL has decided to hike its advertising and media spend in the South by 5 per cent. Mr Raghunandan said among the four southern States, Andhra Pradesh is the largest market, followed by Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Kerala. Asked whether the company will have to set up manufacturing also in the southern regions to avail of any cost benefits, he said there were no immediate plans to begin manufacturing in the South. He said these new initiatives will be unleashed early next year.

Smart City Accidentally Downloads Virus
A brand new city in South Korea -- wired with smart grid technologies, a real-time control platform, deep sensing, simulation, and advanced analytics -- has accidentally downloaded a major computer virus.
The city was automatically checking its email and mistook a malicious email as a genuine citizen complaint. The email contained a virus, which rapidly infected and disabled the city's operating system.
"We've put our entire city's operations in the cloud, and now we can't get it out," an exasperated mayor told a local TV station.

Submitted to: Near Infrared Spectroscopy International Conference Proceedings
Publication Type: Abstract Only
Publication Acceptance Date: 7/20/1997
Publication Date: N/A
Citation: N/A Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: Soluble and insoluble fractions of dietary fiber have different human physiological effects and their amount in foods is of interest to consumers, the medical community, and the cereal product industry. A near-infrared reflectance model was previously developed, using partial least squares regression, to predict total dietary fiber content in a wide variety of cereal and grain products with a wide range in dietary fiber values (N=117, SECV=1.7%, multiple coefficient of determination =0.98). This presentation describes the development of two models, using near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy and partial least squares regression, to predict soluble and insoluble dietary fiber in the same dry milled cereal products. The reference method used to determine total, soluble, and insoluble dietary fiber was AOAC procedure 991.43. Primary product constituents influencing model development are examined.
