Next gay-marriage showdown could be in Minnesota
Gay-marriage supporters in the Land of 10,000 Lakes will be working fervently to end a 31-state losing streak at the polls and defeat a proposed amendment on the 2012 ballot that would limit marriage to one-man, one-woman unions.
It's expected to be a closely fought campaign, attracting extensive out-of-state resources.
"The other side is certainly desperate for a victory at the ballot box. We expect to be outspent," said Jason Adkins, executive director of the Minnesota Catholic Conference and a member of the coalition supporting the amendment.
If the amendment passes, in a state viewed as politically moderate, foes of gay marriage will be able to claim that the New York Legislature's vote Friday to legalize same-sex marriage did not turn the tide nationally. Their side will have extended a winning streak dating to 1998, with opponents of same-sex marriage prevailing every time it has been put to a popular vote.
If the amendment is defeated, gay-marriage supporters will be able to make a strong case that public opinion has turned in their favor.
"These ballot measures are so expensive and so divisive," said Monica Meyer, executive director of OutFront Minnesota, the state's biggest gay rights group. "If we can defeat this, it sends a strong message that at some point soon these things just aren't going to be brought up at all any more."
Thirty states have passed amendments banning gay marriage, while Maine voters in 2009 overturned a bill passed by the Legislature that would have legalized the practice. Where same-sex marriage is legal � in New York, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Iowa, Vermont and the District of Columbia � it came about through court orders or legislative action, not by popular vote.
Chuck Darrell of the Minnesota Family Council, which supports the proposed amendment, said the New York vote validated the concerns of Minnesota legislators who put the ban on next year's ballot.
"Our Legislature wisely decided to let the people decide the issue of marriage � not politicians," Darrell said.
Ann-Kaner Roth of Project 515, a Minnesota gay-rights group, said she and her fellow activists would take lessons from what happened in New York.
"They were able to build such a broad-based coalition: Republicans, independents and Democrats, the business community all coming out very strongly in support of equality," Kaner-Roth said. "Minnesota is really ripe for that kind of coalition-building."
The anti-amendment coalition is sure to include Democratic Gov. Mark Dayton, who was unable to keep the measure off the ballot but has vowed to campaign against it. He has already appeared at a fundraiser held by amendment opponents and marched in the Twin Cities gay pride parade on Sunday � a first for a Minnesota governor.
Gay-marriage advocate Evan Wolfson, president of Freedom to Marry, anticipates an intense struggle in Minnesota.
"Any time minority rights are put up to a majority vote, in the white-hot heat of nasty political exchanges, it's a dangerous situation," he said.
Another marriage battleground next year could be North Carolina. It is the only Southeastern state that hasn't yet approved an amendment restricting marriage to one man and one woman, but the GOP-controlled Legislature may try to put such a provision on the 2012 ballot.
Republicans would need help from a few conservative Democrats to advance the measure, and would also have to keep moderate Republicans in line.
Foes of gay marriage cite surveys indicating that more than 70 percent of North Carolinians support the amendment. However, an Elon University poll in February showed more than half of the state's residents favor some form of legal recognition of same-sex couples.
"Numbers have borne out that attitudes on this issue are changing, particularly among independents," said Alex Miller of the gay-rights group Equality North Carolina.
In Maryland and Rhode Island, efforts to win legislative approval of same-sex marriage failed earlier this year. The long-term prospects in Rhode Island are unclear. But gay-rights activists in Maryland have vowed to try again next year.
"People are energized by what happened in New York and eager to work with our supporters in Maryland state government to make the same thing happen here," said Patrick Wojahn, chairman of the Equality Maryland Foundation's board of directors. His group issued a national fundraising appeal on Monday.
Republican state Delegate Don Dwyer, who coordinated opposition to the measure in Maryland, said gay-rights activists underestimated the depth of the public sentiment against same-sex marriage in the heavily Democratic state.
"The entire country expected Maryland to roll over this past session and pass the same-sex marriage bill, and that didn't happen," Dwyer said.
In Maine, when Democrats held power in 2009, the Legislature passed a bill legalizing same-sex marriage, but it was overturned in a referendum that fall, 53 percent to 47 percent. With Republicans now controlling the Legislature, gay-marriage supporters are patiently exploring their options. In one campaign, they are trying to have 40,000 one-on-one conversations with voters in hopes of changing minds.
Three states � Delaware, Illinois and Hawaii � enacted civil union laws in recent months that extend broad marriage-like rights to same-sex couples.
Brian Selander, a spokesman for Delaware Gov. Jack Markell, said he doubts there will be any immediate push to go a step further and emulate New York.
"Considering that just two years ago it was still legal to be fired in Delaware for being gay, the fact that civil unions passed this session here is remarkable progress," Selander said. "We have not heard any plans to introduce a marriage bill."
Of all the state-level developments, perhaps the most momentous could come soon in a ruling by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on California's Proposition 8, the measure approved by voters in 2008 that bans gay marriage in the state.
If the appeals court holds Prop 8 to be unconstitutional, and the nation's most populous state joins the list allowing same-sex marriages, pressure could escalate for action by Congress or the Supreme Court.

Son Suniel Anand is also in contention and doesn't want the banner to go to Anil Ambani's group company
Dev Anand owned the rights to the Navketan banner and also the Anand recording studio. He also was the owner of the 32 films that the production house had financed. But it seems Reliance Entertainment is not going to let it stay that way.
A little birdie informed us that Reliance Entertainment is trying to buy the rights to all of that. Also, Dev Anand's son Suniel is fighting to keep them all, as a legacy of his father. He doesn't want any of them to be going off to any other company. Suniel informed "I don't know who is spreading these rumours. I am currently busy with my film, The Vagator Mixer. It has a Hollywood crew and is being shot abroad." He maintained that there is renovation work going on with the studio and that is being managed by Reliance Entertainment.
No one is confirming any news yet, so we don't know which party to believe. As ardent fans of the Navketan banner, we definitely want the same to stay in the family of the Anands. But as zealous fans of seeing better movies come out of Anand studio, we want it to have a better owner in Anil Ambani's Reliance Entertainment. After all, Suniel Anand doesn't seem to be making good enough money to keep afloat the banner. On the other hand, Reliance Entertainment would renovate the studios and start coming up with good films under the Navketan banner. What do you think should happen peeps?

LONDON (AP) — Glenn Greenwald, the American journalist who broke the first stories about the U.S. National Security Agency's global spying program, says he is leaving the Guardian newspaper.
Greenwald described his partnership with the Guardian as "extremely fruitful and fulfilling," saying in a statement Tuesday that he would take up a new opportunity in journalism. He would not say what it is.
The Guardian called Greenwald a "remarkable" journalist and said it wishes him well.
Greenwald has written extensively about NSA surveillance programs based on files leaked by former intelligence contractor Edward Snowden.
News of Greenwald's exit was first reported by BuzzFeed.

Deep Navy - It's alright
Tip is really stiff that when I use this, my eyeliner is really thick. It's hard to make a thin line. Maybe a little bit more practice will do. As for the staying power, must say it didn't budge the whole day and night. I tend to have oily lids by night time and was plesantly surprised it stayed. Will definitely buy again.

Charcoal Black - sketch marker
This is very easy to use and you can easily control the thickness of the line. it is smudge proof and literally works like a pen marker. it is worth every cent and would definitely buy again. the applicator is sturdy enough that you can control the direction of the line you want to draw.

Black - Great colour payoff
The first few times I've used the Navy the colour pay off is great, it has seemed to dry out a bit since then but a good shake seems to help the product flow after a while! Just bought the black and white!

Charcoal Black - Good!
I think it has a high price point for a pen eyeliner. Not sure if it dries matte black, but at least it is waterproof so far as I know. I wish it wasn't a felt tip and would prefer a brush kind, just like the k-palette markers.

Steel Blue - High Learning Curve
I'm used to using Hypersharp liquid eyeliner and wanted to expand to coloured eyeliner. Purchased the blue one and nearly poked my eye because the felt tip is really sharp! Also my lids have a lot of wrinkles, so it sometimes gets stuck on the wrinkle and I needed to fix up 90% of the time. But after one week of using it, I got the hang of using the felt tip so beginners beware!

Charcoal Black - Easy glide
The liner was so easy to apply. The tip is super pointed. After a few uses, the tip seem to not have enough ink though.Created a few great cat's eyes with it! It is also super pigmented and lasted through out the day.

Deep Espresso - Disappointing
Cute packaging with colour variety.,Great colour but colours are inconsistent.quality is disappointing for the price. Felt tip feels rough on eyelids. Many more affordable brands with greater quality. Will not recommend nor repurchase.

S. a.
Candy Pink - Pink Eyeliner - Good Purchase
Ok. I was V Excited about receiving this product because this will be my first pink eyeliner. The packaging of this product is really cute. I just love the fact that its pink. lol. The eyeliner itself is ok. The tip resembles a brush pen for used for drawing. Its easy to use for doing cat eyes. The pigment is so-so. It doesn't show up that well on my eyes directly ( i have oily eyelids) but if you use a white base below this will really show up well :)

This tip discusses how to create a report with Crystal Reports without the use of database, and directly from a list of objects in our application.
Using Crystal report with database is easy, but what if somebody wants to gather information from forms and make a report. In this tip, I show how to make classes and make a report out of them.
This tip is based on Visual Studio 2010 environment and Crystal report for VS 2010, so make sure you have them ready.
We are going to create an application, create some student objects and make a report with the entered data.
First, create a Crystal report project:
In the next window, select "As a blank report".
Now create a Student class like this:
class Student { public Student(string Code, string Name, DateTime BirthDate) { this.Code = Code; this.Name = Name; this.BirthDate = BirthDate; } public string Code { set; get; } public string Name { set; get; } public DateTime BirthDate { set; get; } public int Age { get { int now = DateTime.Now.Year; int birth = BirthDate.Year; return now - birth; } } }
We want to make a report for list of students for their Code, Name and Age.
In Form1, we create a list of students manually:
public partial class Form1 : Form { public Form1() { InitializeComponent(); } List<Student> GetStudentList() { Student s1 = new Student("1000001", "Ashkan Power", DateTime.Parse("17/7/1989")); Student s2 = new Student("1000002", "Peter Griffin", DateTime.Parse("10/2/1960")); Student s3 = new Student("1000003", "Super Man", DateTime.Parse("1/1/1980")); Student s4 = new Student("1000004", "Jim Carry", DateTime.Parse("14/5/1985")); Student s5 = new Student("1000005", "Bill Carter", DateTime.Parse("25/8/1940")); return new List<Student>() { s1, s2, s3, s4, s5 }; } }
Now let's make the report:
Open "CrystalReport1.rpt", it's already created in your project.
Customize your report as you like, mine looks like this:
It's time to make a Dataset:
Now in your DataSet, add a new DataTable named "Students".
Add 3 columns "Code", "Name" and "Age". It should look like this:
In your report in field explorer, right click on Database fields / database expert, then in opened window, select project data / ADO.NET datasets / [your dataset name] and add it to the right list:
Now open database fields and you'll see Students table and fields,
Drag and drop each field in its own place in the Detailed section.
Insert a Record Number from special fields in the number column, and delete title created by columns if you like.
Ok, now we just need to show the report on the form, and give the report the students' list.
In Form1, in the constructor or loading event listener, you can pass an instance of the report to your reportviewer, and the list of students as a datasource:
public Form1() { InitializeComponent(); CrystalReport1 cr = new CrystalReport1(); crystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = cr; cr.SetDataSource(GetStudentList()); }
Everything looks fine. You can run the application and see the result.
But you may get a FileNotFoundException with error string "Could not load file or assembly 'file:///C:\Program Files\SAP BusinessObjects\Crystal Reports for .NET Framework 4.0\Common\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\win32_x86\dotnet1\crdb_adoplus.dll' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified."
You can fix this by changing the app.config file of the project like this:
(If you have no app.config, add it from addItem / General / application configuration file to your project.)
<?xml version="1.0"?> <configuration> <startup useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy="true"><supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.0"/></startup> </configuration>
That will do it.

If You Know Bourke

"If you know Bourke you know Australia".
Henry Lawson's famous quote is never far away from attempts to describe what life in the iconic outback New South Wales town of Bourke is like.
But what did Lawson and his famous passage really mean? Why is knowledge of Bourke essential to understanding Australia?
Local artist and poet Andrew Hull went in search of answers.
"I really think that the best way to tell a big story is through a glimpse at a small story," Hull said. "History, culture, sport, art, religion - it is impossible to tell the story of a town all at once. But if you approach these stories individually, a picture of the whole begins to form."
If You Know Bourke is a series of interviews exploring the iconic outback town through the stories of the people who know it best. Visit the links to the right to get to know the locals - and through their stories, get to know Bourke.

Pros: 1) Plethora of Tips and accessories 2) Extremely comfortable 3) Good fun sounding signature 4) Great Bang-for-buck!
Cons: 1) L and R marks on the housing worns off quickly
M11+ is another IEM from meelectronics which just justifies its price tag as how the rest incredible IEM lineup of meelectronics does.
Meelectronics describes M11+ as "• Large, full spectrum sound that is punchy and fun
• Tiny size fits all ears comfortably
• Metal housing and frustration-free designer cable"
Specifications :
Driver: 7mm drivers with high density neodymium magnets
Housing: Aluminum tuned bass-reflex design
Frequency Response: 20Hz – 20KHz
Impedance: 16 ohms
Connector: 3.5mm gold plated, right angle connector
Cable: Designer 1.4m cord (4.59 ft) with attached shirt clip
Warranty: 1 year
Accessories: 1) 10 sets of eartips (silicon: small/medium/large/extra large; extra long silicon: medium/large; standard bi-flange; short bi-flange: small/medium/large)
2) 1 carrying pouch
3) 1 airplane adapter
4) 1 wire organizer
Packaging: The M11+ comes in a rectangular plastic box,the earphones and the case are resting in a tray. The earphones and three tips are visible on the packaging
Build Quality : Upon opening up the M11+ package, I was quite pleased to see the size of the M11+ was quite a bit smaller than what I expected. The M11+ is built of solid metal housing and the plug ends with a lower-profile 45-degree plug
Cable: The cable is the typical gray MEElectronics cable. It is strong and low on microphonics.
Microphonics: None unless you really really try. Excellent cable.
Comfort: These IEMs are very comfortable to wear, being very tiny, they sit in the ear perfectly and perfect seal with experimenting tips. Sony Hybrids work the best for me. These can be wore over the ear or straight down, though I prefer over-the-ear for maximum comfort.
Isolation: They isolate great with good seal. A slightly lesser than perfect fit S6/M6, still good enough for most activities
Sound Quality:
Burn-in: Its been burned to 100+ hours before the evaluation.
Amped / unamped: Not much of a difference, these are drived easily by even low power sources. Though, amping is always a advantage..
Signature: Fun sounding or warm+sweet
Lows: The bass is deep, not overhelming in quantity but well controlled and doesn't impact the mid-range, extremely enjoyable to listen to.
Mids: Mids are little bit recessed but vocals are pretty much reproduced great on this. They are quite smooth and slightly warm making them very pleasant
Highs: They are smooth and warm and mainly non-fatiguing, has a good spark at the top of the spectrum
Soundstage: Good instrument seperation, instruments are quite distinct in their placements and certainly better than all the rest of M series.
Final Conclusion : At 45$, M11+ is just a great all-rounder with a good fun type signature, its like an upgraded M6 with great highs, warm and smooth mids, deep but controlled bass. It suits all the genres perfectly and with the fun factor it brings, the music seems much more enjoyable. Its recommended for those who have small ears particularly as its comfort is top-notch. Overall, its definitely a bang-for-buck with great accessory pack and good sound for its price!

Free Will AstrologyFree Will Astrology for the Week of Nov. 2ARIES (March 21-April 19): Here's Malcolm Gladwell, writing in The Tipping Point: "We need to prepare ourselves for the possibility that sometimes big changes follow from small events, and that sometimes these changes can happen quickly. ... Look at the world around you. It may seem an immovable, implacable place. It is not. With the slightest push—in just the right place—it can be tipped." You are now within shouting distance of your own personal tipping point, Aries. Follow your gut wisdom as you decide where to give a firm little push. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Welcome to the autumnal garden of earthly delights, Taurus. It's a brooding, fermenting paradise, full of the kind of dark beauty that wouldn't be caught dead in a spring garden. There's smoldering joy to be found amidst this riotous flowering of moody colors, but you won't appreciate it if you're too intent on seeking bright serenity and pristine comfort. Be willing to dirty your hands and even your mind. Feel the moss on your back, the leaves in your hair, and the mist on your bare legs. (P.S. If you like, you can take what I just said as an elaborate metaphor.) GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Here's a vignette described by columnist Thomas Friedman: "Ludwig Wittgenstein once remarked that if you ask a man how much is 2 plus 2 and he tells you 5, that is a mistake. But if you ask a man how much is 2 plus 2 and he tells you 97, that is no longer a mistake. The man you are talking with is operating with a wholly different logic from your own." I'd like to suggest, Gemini, that for you right now the whole world is like the man who swears 2 plus 2 is 97. At least temporarily, you are on a very different wavelength from your surroundings. In order to understand what's coming toward you, you will have to do the equivalent of standing on your head, crossing your eyes, and opening your mind as wide as it'll stretch. CANCER (June 21-July 22): If you want to grow vanilla beans, you have to pollinate the plant's flowers within 12 hours after they bloom. In nature, the only insect that can do the job is the Melipona, a Mexican bee. Luckily, humans can also serve as pollinators, which they do on commercial vanilla farms. They use thin wood splinters or stems of grass to perform the delicate magic. I'm thinking that you resemble a vanilla bean right now, Cancerian. It is the season when you're extra receptive to fertilization, but all the conditions have to be just right for the process to be successful. Here's my advice: Figure out exactly what those conditions are, then call on all your resourcefulness to create them. Sam Adams Even our most sophisticated drilling machines have barely made pinpricks in the Earth's surface. The deepest hole ever dug was 40,000 feet, which is just 0.2 percent of the planet's 20-million-foot radius. I offer this up as a spur to your imagination, Leo. The coming weeks will be an excellent time for you to plumb further into the depths of anyplace or anything you're intrigued by—whether that's a subject you've always wondered about, a person you care for, the mysteries of life or the secrets of your own psyche. You could reach the equivalent of five million feet into the Earth's innards. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): National Geographic speculates that most of the species on Earth are still unknown and unnamed. While 1.2 million life forms have been identified by science, there may be as many as 7.5 million that are not, or 86 percent of the total. I suspect that this breakdown is similar to the situation in your life, Virgo. You know about 14 percent of what you need to know, but there's still a big frontier to explore. The coming months should be prime time for you to cover a lot of new ground—and now would be a perfect moment to set the stage for that grand experiment. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): I suspect that you will have a minor form of good luck going for you this week. It probably won't be enough to score you a winning lottery ticket or earn you a chance to get the answer to your most fervent prayers. But it might bring you into close proximity with a financial opportunity, a pretty good helper or a resource that could subtly boost your stability over the long haul. For best results, don't invoke your mild blessings to assist in trivial matters like finding parking places or avoiding long check-out lines. Use them for important stuff. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): "Try to be surprised by something every day," advises Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi in his book Creativity: Flow and the Psychology of Discovery and Invention. That's an inspirational idea for everyone all the time, but especially for you Scorpios right now. This is the week of all weeks when you have the best chance of tinkering with your rhythm so that it will thrive on delightful unpredictability. Are you brave enough to capitalize on the opportunity? I think you are. Concentrate your attention on cultivating changes that feel exciting and life-enhancing. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): "Dear Rob: I was born on Nov. 30, and am quite attached to having it as a birthdate. But there's a complication. While in Iraq in 2006, I was half-blown up by a bomb, and had a near-death experience. When I returned from my excursion to the land of the dead, I felt I'd been born anew. Which is why I now also celebrate Sept. 24, the date of the bombing, as my second birthday. What do you think? Two-Way Tamara." Dear Two-Way: I believe we'd all benefit from having at least one dramatic rebirth in the course of our lives, though hopefully not in such a wrenching fashion as yours. In fact, a fresh rebirth every few years or so would be quite healthy. If it means adding astrological identities to our repertoire, so much the better. Thanks for bringing up the subject, as it's an excellent time for Sagittarians everywhere to seek out an exhilarating renewal. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Social climbers are people who are focused on gaining higher status in whatever circle of people they regard as cool, even to the point of engaging in fawning or ingratiating behavior. Soul climbers, on the other hand, are those who foster the power of their imagination, keep deepening their connection with life's intriguing enigmas, and explore the intersection of self-interest and generosity toward others. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you could go far in either of those directions during the coming weeks, Capricorn—but not both. Which will you choose? AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): An Australian man named Daniel Fowler has more giraffe tattoos on his shoulders than any other human being on the planet. So says the Universal Record Database at recordsetter.com. Meanwhile, Darryl Learie is now the only person to ever be able to insert three steak knives into an inflated balloon, and Billy Disney managed to inject a world-record 31 sexual innuendoes into a rap song about potatoes. What could or should be your claim to fame, Aquarius? This would be an excellent time to try to establish your reputation as the best at your specific talent. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): "You have to know how far to go too far," said poet and filmmaker Jean Cocteau. I reckon that's good advice for you right now. You're at a phase of your astrological cycle when you really can't afford to keep playing by all the rules and staying inside the proper boundaries. For the sake of your physical and psychological and spiritual health, you need to wander out beyond the limits that you've been so faithfully respecting. And yet, on the other hand, it would be a mistake to claim you have a right to stop at nothing. Know how far to go too far. Homework: Which of your dead ancestors would you most like to talk to?

Does Radiant Barrier Insulation In The Attic Really Work? Standard attic insulation below and radiant barrier insulation above. How Does Radiant Barrier Attic Insulation Work? Radiant barrier insulation when installed properly does work to reduce cooling costs in summer. The way that it works it that it reflects radiant heat that makes it through your roof back up toward the roof. It is best utilized on homes with metal or tile roofing and according to manufacturers such as Reflectix can reduce cooling bills by up to 20 percent. Radiant barrier insulation should be a part of a holistic approach to keeping your attic cool which also includes passive venting and active venting using solar roof vents. For more on solar attic vents see. How Solar Roof Vents Work One reason that radiant barrier insulation is so effective is that it is highly reflective of low frequency infrared rays that penetrate the attic. The shiny surface reflects these back upwards and a foam bubble sandwich core also acts as a thermal barrier. Radiant barrier insulation comes in pre-cut rolls from eight to thirty six inches to fit most rafters. It is easily stapled between rafters up against the underside of the roof. It can be installed in most attics in about a day. You may be eligible for a local, state or federal rebate if the work is done by a licensed contractor. For more information on federal tax rebates see: http://www.energy.gov/taxbreaks.htm Texas A&M University Builds Two Test Houses To Study Radiant Barrier Insulation A&M University Gives Thumbs Up To Radiant Barrier Insulation In Study There is some controversy as to whether radiant barrier insulation reduces the life of asphalt shingles. There have been studies done by the University of Florida and Texas A & M University that show no significant heat increase in shingles on roofs using radiant barrier insulation in conjunction with full venting. Texas A&M University actually built two homes to test the effectiveness of radiant barrier insulation. One home without radian barrier and one with. The tests concluded that there was a significant reduction in home heat gain in the test home with radian barrier insulation. There was no evidence of damage to shingles because of reflected heat. Here are the results of a study by Texas A & M. It is PDF document. Texas A & M Radiant Barrier Study This study should alleviate fears about using radiant barrier foil on a home that has asphalt shingles. As long as you use full venting, that is a full ridge vent and vents along the soffit it is OK. Further studies at Texas Tech University have shown the cooling effect in a hot attic of radiant barrier insulation to be approximately 15 degrees with an asphalt shingle roof and 13 degrees Fahrenheit with a metal roof. How this translates into a certain percentage of cost reduction depends on the amount of insulation between the dwelling and the attic. There are new underlayment products that go directly under a metal roof but for existing homes your choice will be limited to stapling the proper width of radiant barrier between your rafters up against the ceiling. Radiant barrier insulation is among our list of green products. It appears that it does live up to most of the manufacturers claims. Here is an in-depth explanation of how radiant barrier insulation works by the U.S. Department Of Energy: DOE Radiant Barrier Information If you found this site helpful, please "like us" on Facebook, etc, or forward it to your friends here: |

Exhibition 2: Warriors 119, Lakers 106
It was more of the sloppy same from the Lakers in their second exhibition against Golden State. Phil Jackson wasn't pleased with the 25 turnovers and the shaky defense, but he wasn't too worried. He noted that the Lakers got into an up-tempo game with the Warriors -- "their game" -- to work on L.A.'s up-tempo game when in the regular season the Lakers would never play into Golden State's hands like this.
Javaris Crittenton's slick NBA debut was followed up by a pretty bad effort all around: three points, 1-for-4 free-throw shooting, one assist against two illogical turnovers. The Lakers' turnover leaders were Andrew Bynum (five in 18:30), Kobe Bryant (five in 25:33) and Ronny Turiaf (four in 17:12). The Lakers are trying to increase their offensive pace this season, so it's predictable that they're out of control in games now, though Bynum's bungles had little to do with that. Bryant did have eight assists, but shot 2 of 10 from the field in an 11-point outing; he also played pretty unfocused defense.
On the bright side for the Lakers, Vladimir Radmanovic shot well again in a 12-point effort (though again not everything came smoothly out of the triangle), Coby Karl hit 3 of 4 from three-point land to show why he'll almost certainly make the team, and Chris Mihm showed a little more bounce in that right ankle with 11 points and five rebounds in 18 minutes.

Swimming participation on the up
17 Mar 2010
The number of people in England participating in swimming has increased by 57,500 from the last quarter according to Sport England's Active People survey.
Swimming remains the country's most popular participation sport with 7.63% (3,219,900) regularly getting in the pool.
The report, covering the period from January 2009-January 2010, shows that the number of people going to their local pools and swimming for 30 minutes or more at least once per week rose to over 3.2 million and is a positive step toward improving the nation's activity levels.
A significant increase in the number of people aged 55 and over was also seen in the report which comes on the heels of the Government's Free Swimming scheme for the over 60s which launched in April 2009.
The number of males participating in swimming has increased in the past quarter, and the ASA is confident that initiatives are in place to soon see a similar rise in female participation rates.
Regionally the East Midlands and North West showed the highest increases in participation.
Anne Adams-King, Director of English Programmes, said: "These figures show a positive rise in the popularity of swimming and the ASA is confident that these large numbers of leisure swimmers will continue to swim regularly and enjoy the sport for life."

Andrew Breitbart Dead at 43
The conservative author, commentator and media mogul apparently passed away from natural causes early this morning. He was 43.
Although we didn't always agree with Breitbart, we admired his commitment to defending his position and jumping right into the debate — even in the comments of our posts.
What are the Right and the Left saying?
Read Slate's excellent round-up of conservatives' reactions, including Santorum's, Gingrich's, Palin's and Drudge's, here.
Michelle Malkin: "DEVASTATING. … I'm stunned. He was kinetic, brash, relentless, full of fight, the bane of the Left, and a mentor to the next generation of right-wing activists and citizen journalists."
The Atlantic: Breitbart, the punk rock Republican
Democratic Underground and many other sites link to Fox News' report.
Bizarrely, lots of Facebookers think Obama is the murderer mastermind behind Breitbart's death.
The Awl: Republican provocateur Andrew Breitbart has apparently died of natural causes at the age of 43. This is extremely distressing to those of us who are not that many years younger.
Matt Yglesias tweets: "If you think @AndrewBrietbart's opponents shouldn't be glad he's dead, you're not taking his life's work seriously." Response: "@DetroitRight: @mattyglesias you ought to be shot ASSHOLE"

By Chris Kieffer/NEMS Daily Journal
STARKVILLE – Mississippi State University students and Starkville residents soon will be able to travel more easily.
The university announced on Tuesday a $2.4 million federal grant that will help provide a public transit system for both the campus and the city of Starkville. The grant is part of a $3.3 million effort by the city and university.
"This is the kind of improvement that is the symbol of a thriving community versus one simply existing," said Northern District Transportation Commissioner Mike Tagert during a news conference on campus Tuesday.
Called Starkville-MSU Area Rapid Transit, or SMART, the new system will be free to the public. It will include three scheduled routes: one between the city and campus, one that circles the city and one for the Sportsplex connectors. Previously, the university had operated two "flag and ride" routes with no set schedule.
SMART also will have GPS tracking, allowing residents to use their computers or smartphones to see when trolleys will arrive at a particular bus stop.
"The reliability, dependability and affordability will be very popular for this community at large," said Mississippi State University President Mark Keenum. "The university is extremely excited about this."
The grant was distributed through the Mississippi Department of Transportation. It includes $1.5 million for the purchase of up to 12 buses and more than $800,000 for transit operations.
The effort resulted from a partnership between the city, university, Oktibbeha County Board of Supervisors and Greater Starkville Development Partnership. Leaders from those entities meet regularly to discuss possible collaboration.
Work on this project has taken place for about a year and a half.
"We all decided it made sense for us to pursue a mass transit strategy together as a community," said Starkville Mayor Parker Wiseman.
Full implementation is expected by next fall.
"We think it will have a big impact on reducing traffic on this campus," Keenum said. "We are a growing university. The community at large is growing and expanding. Hopefully it will cut down on congestion, not only on the campus, but in the city."

The California Supreme Court held in 1998 that individual supervisors and managers are not personally liable for discrimination under the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA). Now the court has also ruled that individual supervisors and managers may not be held financially responsible for retaliation claims (Jones v. The Lodge at Torrey Pines Partnership, No. S151022, California Supreme Court, 2008).
Reversing a reversal
Scott Jones sued his employer, The Lodge at Torrey Pines, under the FEHA for sexual orientation discrimination and retaliation by both The Lodge and his supervisor. The trial judge held that Jones' supervisor could be held personally liable for retaliation and therefore refused to dismiss him from the case.
Following a jury verdict for Jones, the trial judge granted the defendants' motions for judgment notwithstanding the verdict and a new trial. The trial judge found that there was ins...(register to read more)

A version of this article originally appeared on Learnvest.com.
It's a time to conquer any traces of "put-off-ability" because the longer you put things off, the more you'll let them snowball. Admittedly, some of the tasks that get pushed off the longest are the ones that can help your financial life. Here are 10 easy tweaks that can help families save money.
1. Increase Your 401(k) Contribution
Even if retirement feels like a long way off, it's crucial to start saving as early as possible because time is your biggest ally. And don't feel guilty about saving for yourself—one of the biggest gifts that you can give your kids down the road is the ability to take care of yourself in those golden years. In less than 10 minutes, you can log into your 401(k) website and up your monthly contribution.
2. Schedule 10-Minute Quiet Time
Kids are basically the epitome of noise, but taking time out is critical for your own mental health, personal wellbeing and general effectiveness as a parent. Plus, clearing your head can help you refocus on everything from your work to your finances. Take 10 minutes—with the door closed–to spend in total silence. Ask your partner to take care of the kids or, if they're slightly older, tell them it's a "quiet game" and offer something if they "win."
3. Do a Quick Project to Teach Money Skills
Art projects don't need to be overly involved or messy to be fun and educational. If you have younger children, talk about how money works and the value of currency by having them draw and color their own dollar bills. You can even cut out a small headshot of your child and paste it in the middle, like the presidents on dollar bills.
4. Open a 529
Saving for college can be daunting, but it's also important because expenses are rising. Rather than get intimidated by the whole process, start with the first step: Open a 529 college savings account. You should be able to open the account online, and it should be a quick process—as long as you have all of your family's personal info at your disposal, like Social Security Numbers and dates of birth.
5. Settle on a Money Goal for the Entire Family
This is a great opportunity to talk to kids about your finances—without causing any worry. Explain that, as a family, you have a budget and it's important to stay within that budget. And if you succeed with sticking to that budget at the end of each month, it's a cause worth celebrating. Decide together what the motivation prize will be, like a pizza night. A good side effect: It gives kids a reason to stop begging for random things because they're also responsible for helping to stay on budget.


text: Our StoryThe Peruvian Connection StoryPeruvian Connection was launched in 1976 by mother and daughter team Biddy and Annie Hurlbut, after inspiration took hold halfway across the globe. While researching anthropology in Peru, Annie, a 19-year-old Yale student, fell in love with extraordinary hand woven mantas and ponchos she discovered in the markets of Cuzco, the ancient capital of the Incas. "Back then, wandering around the market, you could find these incredible pieces," Annie said. In Cuzco's market is also where she first encountered the luxury fiber of alpaca. "I was immediately drawn to it; it's softer than cashmere and more durable," she says. Fascinated by these ethnographic textiles, she began collecting them, learning everything she could about the spinning and dyeing of the alpaca fibers, the warp-faced weaving techniques and the ancient textile traditions of the Andes. It Began with a SweaterAlong the way, Annie encountered some rather simple but extraordinarily soft and luxurious sweaters, all knit of the same alpaca fibers. One sweater in particular caught her eye—a soft alpaca sweater coat, trimmed with long fur—and she bought it for her mother's upcoming 50th birthday. Once home in Kansas, Annie presented the gift and her mother Biddy and friends were fascinated with the sweater. Soon after, Annie and Biddy began importing a small range of sweater styles, which Annie designed and produced in Peru and Biddy sold from her home in Kansas. And with that, Peruvian Connection was born. Annie and Biddy sold their artisan-made alpaca sweaters to a handful of high-end specialty stores, like Henri Bendel in New York and Halls in Kansas City. They also created a small catalog—Annie photographed, styled and wrote it, while Biddy managed the packaging and shipping of orders. The Times Takes NoticeBy 1979, Annie was showing the line at a New York boutique show when a writer with the New York Times took note. The feature that followed—a quarter page article on the front of the paper's Style section—generated 5,000 catalog requests within three months. Peruvian Connection now releases five internationally renowned collections per year, full of exquisite art knit garments which are offered in quarterly catalogs, online and in the brand's retail stores across the US and in the UK. Moving Forward, Honoring the PastAlthough the company has grown since that first sweater changed hands, the original goal remains the same: to offer artisan made, original designs in native Andean luxury fibers. Today, Peruvian Connection's collections are created by a group of extraordinarily talented designers. Each piece is a celebration of ethnographic textiles from around the world, made by skilled Andean artisans whose time-honored textile tradition remains an art form. |

Do you want to make Ohio.com your homepage?
X200 to 1. That was the final offer to Democrats from Republican members of the Super Committee. $200 in spending cuts for every $1 in new revenues. Take it or leave it.
As of this morning....everyone is leaving it.
The task of the 12 member Super Committee was to make the "tough" decisions that the other members of Congress refused to make for fear of political backlash. The Super-Dupes were formed after August's GOP hostage taking incident over raising the debt ceiling. The extra-constitutional panel was supposed to come up with $1.5 trillion in debt reduction which Congress would then vote for, either up or down...no filibusters. If passed the deficit reduction would go into effect January, 2013.
If the Super Committee failed to come up with an agreement....which now is the case....a "trigger" was to be pulled which automatically began cutting defense and discretionary spending. Despite failure...I can almost guarantee readers that that trigger will not be pulled. Some Senate members have already said that they wouldn't have to abide by the trigger mechanism and suggested they could change any cuts to defense spending through a new congressional vote.
Here's Johnny Mac November 9th...
McCain said he would introduce and support a law to undo the Budget Control Act of 2011, which codified the deal to raise the debt ceiling."We'll do everything we can to prevent [the trigger] being implemented," McCain said. "You can't bind future Congresses."
So, there you have it. No deal. No action on the deficit. And that is just fine with me because we should not be cutting government spending anyway, if predictions of economic growth in the U.S for the next five years are anywhere near accurate.
"Investors" are prepared to sell off today in light of the failure of the deficit committee which, most likely, will result in the beginning of a new mini-economic downturn going into 2012....just as the Republicans would have it.
The Republican party has only one goal leading up to next November. Make Obama fail as miserably as possible in dealing with the domestic economy. I suppose that's one way to seek regaining the presidency, even if endless thousands more Americans lose their jobs and homes in the doing. Politics ain't beanbag....and if millions of American voters need to take it on the chin to rid ourselves of the Muslim, Kenyan anti-Christ with the funny name....it's just time to buck up.
But let's review shall we? Last December, Republicans refused to consider raising income tax rates on millionaires and billionaires and brought the country to the brink of total chaos...insisting that unemployment checks to laid off workers, payroll tax cut extensions and the Bush income tax rates for all working Americans would be held hostage until the communists in the Democratic Party dropped any notions of increasing income tax rates on
Naturally, the bipartisan Obama caved and Republicans got what they wanted. No new taxes to help deal with the debt and deficit. The GOP mantra a year ago...the same heard today...is that we don't have a revenue problem, we have a spending problem. This despite reputable economists from both sides of the aisle claiming the need for both revenue increases as well as spending cuts to actually attack our long term debt problem.
The obstruction continued. In August, GOP intransigence over raising the nation's debt limit.......led directly to the formation of the Super Committee gimmick...which now has failed.
Now what? There is no..now what. Next is the presidential election.....and then the GOP obstruction will begin all over again to kick off Obama's second term. Been there, done that. Expect an Obama impeachment proceeding between 2013-1017....without merit, of course....just like in the 90's. Impeachment is simply another GOP tool in the obstructionist toolbox.
One final comment on the 200 to 1 GOP offering in the Super Committee. The Simpson-Bowles and the Rivlin-Domenici committees came in at 2 to 1, and 3 to 1 ratios, spending cuts to new tax revenues, respectively.
Several Democrats on the Super Committee offered up a more Republican-friendly ratio of 6 dollars in cuts to every 1 dollar in new revenues. But that wasn't good enough for obstructionist Republicans who are only focused on making Obama a one term president.
And that explains why the final offering from the Republicans on the Super Committee included a 200 to 1 ratio, spending cuts to new revenues. Not 2-1, a compromise favoring GOP ideology. Not 6-1, a compromise favoring GOP ideology with prejudice.....but instead, Republicans want 200 dollars in spending cuts for every 1 dollar of new revenue.
In other words, Republicans do not want a deal....that's how very serious they regard the nation's debt and deficit situation.

Despite the misleading American release title -- giving the impression of another holiday-themed slasher flick -- this British production (aka ) is set in midsummer and employs a wacky but interesting supernatural theme. The story serves up the usual batch of teenage morons and bimbos as horror-fodder, stranding the group in a haunted hotel which, years ago, was the site of a massacre so horrific that the entire locale has been trapped in a deadly time warp.

Fey Touched Healer Asha does know that her mate, Joe, saved her when her abilities nearly killed her. And she knows the voices in her head are the grave touched trying to stake their claim. Asha needs Joe's help again, but unfortunately she's the only one who believes the grave touched exist.

A little bit about me:
Welcome to my little home on the web. Pull up a chair and stay awhile.
I'm Erin Zarro, an indie novelist writing dark fantasy, sci-fi, and horror. I started writing novels in 2003, when I wrote my first complete novel, The Sacrifice, for National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo). I enjoyed it so much that I kept on going. I haven't stopped yet. 😉 I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in Journalism and an unofficial minor in Photography, which is my second love. Currently, I am the office manager for a small marketing firm in Warren, Michigan. I've decided to go indie, and Fey Touched is my first offering. I'm working on book 3 in my Fey Touched series, Ever Touched.
When I'm not writing, I'm most likely taking pictures, writing poetry, designing websites, watching TV shows I'm addicted to, and reading. I love reading almost as much as I love writing. I'm married to a wonderful man who changed my life, and we have a cat, Hailey, who might be part vampire. We're not sure.
I also write poetry as Erin Zarro. My two chapbooks, Life as a Moving Target and Without Wings were released by Turtleduck Press, a writer's alliance that I'm proud to be a part of. For more information, see Turtleduck Press up top.
Erin Kendall is a pen name I'll be using for my traditionally published work. We are the same person. 😉

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
The Miami Heat are two wins away from an NBA Championship after holding off the Dallas Mavericks Sunday night 88-86. Two more wins and LeBron James will take another step in his rehab from last summer's controversial TV special "The Decision" announcing his move to the Heat.
James signed with Miami looking to establish a dynasty that would win multiple NBA titles (he boldly said he is not stopping at seven). Winning championships is the only way to establish his place as one of the all-time greats. It is also the best way to boost his bank account. "Winning and succeeding in basketball drives all business," James told Forbes last month for a profile that was part of our Celebrity 100 issue (see "LeBron Looks To Conquer The World").
Business for James is booming even before an NBA title. Kobe Bryant commands the top playing salary in the NBA at $24.8 million, but James earns the most off-the-court with $34 million over the past 12-months through endorsements and royalty deals. Nike is James' biggest deal worth more than $10 million annually. He also counts Coca-Cola, McDonald's, State Farm and Upper Deck as partners.
Business has only improved for James since he moved to the Heat. No sponsors have dropped him as they did with Tiger Woods when he faced a media firestorm. James added a watch deal with Audemars Piguet to his endorsement portfolio in April. His jersey was the NBA's best seller this season and his latest Nike shoe is the No. 1 basketball sneaker on the market.
As part of our annual look at the world's 50 highest-paid athletes we talk to dozens of player agents, marketing experts and company executives to gauge what sponsorship deals are in place and what they are worth. Below are our estimates for the top NBA players in regards to endorsement earnings in the 12-months ending May 1.
Each of these players was among our 50 top-earning athletes except Kevin Durant and Shaquille O'Neal who didn't make the cut because their 2010-11 playing salaries kept their total incomes under the $18.8 million cutoff (Durant will make the cut next year when his $85 million contract extension with the Thunder begins--assuming there is an NBA season).


text: Mass Effect 3 Will Be Heading to Omega This FallKate Cox9/18/12 4:30pmFiled to: Mass EffectMass effect 3BiowareEatweet173EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink It's no secret that I really liked Mass Effect 3. But as I wound into the last acts of the game, I began to feel like something was missing: I'd really hoped that Aria would demand Shepard's help in retaking Omega. Lines from the leaked script supported that theory, as did unearthed dialogue. That mission, at least as it exists in my head, is one I really wanted to play. Now, it looks like I might just get my wish—and relatively soon, to boot. In a post today outlining the future for BioWare in the wake of the founders' retirement, Aaryn Flynn, general manager of the BioWare Montreal and Edmonton studios, confirmed that the Omega DLC is on its way, along with more multiplayer DLC. Flynn indicated only that the Omega DLC was coming "in the fall," but as we're already halfway through September it seems likely that we won't have all that long to wait. A Mass Effect DLC teaser image from last weekend's Montreal Comic-Con has been making the rounds; while the image is blurry and undefined, it seems more likely than ever that the tease is indeed for Omega.

Estimating growth rate in the presence of serially correlated errors
The aim of this study is to address the difficulties frequently encountered in estimating average growth rates by a log-linear time trend in the presence of serially correlated errors. There are a few studies in the literature that provide some guidance on choosing the appropriate method depending on the degree of first order serial correlation. However, the higher order serial correlation case is generally ignored. This study proposes the Nelder-Mead simplex method as a general solution to estimating linear trend in the presence of serial correlation of any order. The proposed method and the conventional methods are applied to the real GDP per capita series of 27 OECD countries. Twelve series seem to be better modelled by a log-linear trend with AR(2) residuals, and five of them yield remarkably different growth rates.

PROVIDENCE — Ultrasound images and personal data for about 14,000 patients who visited facilities in Rhode Island and Massachusetts years ago have disappeared, but officials at Women & Infants Hospital said there is no indication that the information has been improperly accessed or used.
The hospital said Monday it cannot find unencrypted backup tapes containing ultrasound images for patients who visited walk-in facilities in Providence and in New Bedford. The records contained personal information, including names, birthdates and, in some case, Social Security numbers.
The hospital discovered the tapes were missing in September and conducted a thorough, but unsuccessful, search, it said in a statement on its website. The hospital said it began notifying affected patients Monday by letter.
Women & Infants spokeswoman Amy Blustein said Tuesday the tapes contain data for nearly 1,200 patients in Providence and about 12,800 patients in New Bedford. The Providence records date from 1993 to 1997. The New Bedford records are from 2002 to 2007.

Amid indications that the Centre might announce a joint parliamentary committee (JPC) into the 2G-spectrum scam to break Parliament deadlock, the Congress has raised a question mark over the opposition's 'intent' to allow the House to function even after its demand is conceded.
Party managers say the opposition, particularly the BJP, has been "frequently shifting the goalposts" on the JPC issue. They cite senior BJP leader LK Advani's statement in Kolkata, in which he demanded widening the ambit of the JPC to include the Commonwealth Games and Adarsh housing scams as well.
"Is there any guarantee that the opposition will allow Parliament to function even after a JPC is announced? By raising the pitch, their entire intent to allow Parliament to function becomes suspect," a senior Congress functionary said.
But that's does not seem to be the only worry for the Congress.
The party is wary of some regional players allowing the House to function due to their domestic compulsions.
"Even if we presume the BJP and Left will not create any disturbance, what about parties like AIADMK?" the leader said.
Five states— Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, Kerala, and Puducherry — are going to elections in May-June this year. The AIADMK in Tamil Nadu will try to nail the DMK on corruption, which is going to be one of the major poll issues.
To score political points over its rivals, the Congress apprehends that the AIADMK might stall the House. "Former telecom minister A Raja's arrest is not going to satisfy them. They would like to see the DMK subjected to more embarrassments," the leader said.
A section in the party also believes the campaign over 2G is being stoked by corporate rivalry. "It's a corporate war and is unlikely to end with the JPC. The bigger game is to get the licenses granted to telecom companies revoked," a senior leader said.
