|Employment Bill
Mr. Hammond: I may have misunderstood the Minister, but I heard him say that statutory adoption pay will affect around 200 people. That is a small number. Do the Government not want a higher target for increasing the number of adoptions and expect adoption leave and pay to be correspondingly higher?
Alan Johnson: In the few minutes since I spoke, we have considerably revised that figure up to 3,000. God knows how 200 became lodged in my mind. The hon. Gentleman is right and has given me the opportunity to correct myself. None the less, the figure is small compared with the number of women who take maternity leave.
The amendment calls for employers to be reimbursed for the full amount of the associated employers' national insurance contribution. That is already done for small employers paying statutory maternity pay, who receive compensation calculated to cover the cost of associated employers' NICs. That will be extended to statutory paternity pay and statutory adoption pay, and the relevant provisions are in clause 7.
On Thursday, Opposition Members recognised the important principle that the amendment calls for further compensation to be paid to employers—employers would be paid an amount to cover the new schemes. We recognise that employers will incur a cost for implementing and administering the new schemes and that is why we have tried to make the schemes as similar as possible to statutory maternity pay and why the Inland Revenue will provide
Column Number: 365extensive support and guidance to employers to keep costs to a minimum.
On principle, however, we do not accept that employers have a right to cover administration costs from the public purse. I do not think that any hon. Member would agree with the proposition that citizens, including employers, should be paid for complying with the law. We all incur costs to meet obligations, whether it be time spent to complete tax returns or take a trip to the post office to tax our cars, or the many thousands of pounds a limited company pays to have its annual accounts audited. The position is the same here, and there is no reason to go beyond what we have already said we will do. We do not accept the argument for changing the principle of not reimbursing citizens or companies for complying with the law. I hope that I have clarified our intention on the employer's right to recover costs, and that we shall not have the same discussion when we go round the course on clause 7. I also hope that I have resolved any confusion about the clause's purpose, and I invite the hon. Member for Runnymede and Weybridge to withdraw the amendment.
10.45 am
Norman Lamb (North Norfolk): Clearly, everyone accepts that this is the wrong place for the amendment. Nevertheless, there is a case for all organisations that employ people incurring the cost of administering the scheme. If the burden were shared among all taxpayers, some people who have no children would say, ''Why should we contribute to the cost of companies administering paternity leave?''
Mr. Hammond: The point is that the choice is between sharing the burden among all taxpayers whether they have children or not, or sharing it among all employees, whether they have children or not, of the employer in question. I suggest to the hon. Gentleman that the wider base is more appropriate.
Norman Lamb: The wider base will be used to pay for the majority of paternity leave. Given that the costs will be insubstantial and that the scheme's administration should not be complex, it is pragmatic to judge that companies should incur that limited cost. We have received no representations from employers' organisations demanding that that part of the cost should be paid by the state. The amendment is in the wrong place, but I still reject the principle behind it.
Mr. Prisk: The Minister made a point at the end of his speech on which I was unable to intervene because I am not quick enough on my feet at this time in the morning. It related to the established principle of not recognising costs to employers where they are dealing with the administration of laws. Can he square that with the recent reviews of payroll costs undertaken by his colleagues in the Treasury, which are supported by the Under-Secretary of State for Small Business? Those reviews examine how the Government can square the need to recognise the disproportionate cost of these administrative burdens on small businesses. I would be grateful if the Minister were to explain how his earlier statement squares with that review.
Column Number: 366
Mr. Hammond: I shall seek to withdraw the amendment, but I have a couple of points to make to the Minister, who I hope will have a few more words to say.
On statutory paternity pay, I accept that we are discussing burdens that would be small in practice. The issue of where the line is drawn is therefore a matter of principle. I do not want to get into lengthy debates about straws and camel's backs because we have been around that territory before. Nevertheless there is a feeling, of which I am sure the Minister will be aware, in business, and in small business in particular, that we are moving into dangerous territory where the Government routinely regard business as an extension of the welfare state. They are using businesses' expensive and extensive payroll infrastructures as the mechanism for delivering benefits and financial support that would have been regarded 20 or 30 years ago as something that one collected from the post office on a Thursday morning.
That is happening because the Government are intent on wiping out the post office network, and in particular the rural sub-post office network. They have undoubtedly had to think of an alternative method of delivering those benefits because they have told us that the post office network is an administratively expensive mechanism for delivering benefits and financial support. Disingenuously, they have sought to find what would be, from their point of view, a completely free system requiring employers to shoulder the burden. Of course, we are talking not only about statutory paternity pay or statutory maternity pay, but about the working families tax credit and a panoply of other benefits. The Government appear to have resolved to use the pay packet as the principal method of delivering financial support to those who are in work.
Alan Johnson: I remember that the hon. Gentleman took part in debate on this issue in Finance Bill proceedings. We are talking about a relationship between the employer and the employee. It is right that paternity pay is issued through the pay packet. Some employers who now pay paternity leave willingly will be grateful for assistance from the state that they do not get at the moment. Under these provisions, they will be able to claim back 92 per cent. to 100 per cent. of what they already pay out.
Mr. Osborne: Will the Minister give way?
Alan Johnson: Hold on, this is an intervention—a pretty long one, Mr. Benton, but I am using it to deal with the point raised by the hon. Member for Hertford and Stortford.
Through the working families tax credit and the children's tax credit, we are trying, for the first time in my lifetime, to deal with the problem of people who find that marginal tax rates are an enormous disincentive to moving from the dole queue back into work, and with the fact that there is a world of difference between money arriving in a giro cheque and money arriving in a pay packet.
Let me tell the hon. Member for Hertford and Stortford that we must consider every opportunity to reduce any unnecessary burdens on business in
Column Number: 367administering the schemes. That is a world away from changing the principle—adopted by all Governments, including the previous Government and ourselves—that citizens or companies should not be compensated for carrying out the law. There is a vast difference between those two concepts.
Mr. Hammond: I accept that that point was addressed more to my hon. Friend the Member for Hertford and Stortford than to me.
High effective marginal tax rates are a problem, and a pretty intractable one, in every system.
Norman Lamb: Will the hon. Gentleman give way?
Mr. Hammond: I shall in a moment.
We could have a lengthy debate about in-work benefits, but I am sure that you would not encourage us to do so, Mr. Benton. That fascinating subject needs to be looked at again, because we are in danger, if we are not careful, of creating a society in which low wages and in-work benefits are considered the norm. That would be completely the wrong way to go. We should encourage a society in which the economic dynamics are such that people in work do not routinely need benefits to enable them to have a decent standard of living. The Government seem to be heading in the direction of accepting that people in work and pensioners will routinely need support from the benefits system.
Norman Lamb: Will the hon. Gentleman give way?
Mr. Hammond: In a moment. I just want to make my point. The Minister is right to say that we do not reimburse citizens for complying with their routine obligations under the law. However, it is a matter of degree. The Bill is not asking people to comply with a routine requirement of the law. It makes a wholesale transfer to employers of a responsibility that has been a responsibility of Government, and a cost to Government through the operation of the benefits system. That process has been going on for some time, and the present Government have accelerated it.
Conservative Members worry about the cumulative burden of the role that the Government are imposing on employers. It is wrong for the Minister to say that it is beyond the pale even to consider making payments to employers for shouldering that burden on the Government's behalf. I am not suggesting that the employer payroll is not the most efficient way of delivering the benefits: employers may be willing to offer that service to the Government. However, it is unreasonable of the Government to torture century-old Inland Revenue legislation, which was not established with the intention that people should ever be paid money through the payroll system of tax collection, to remove a burden hitherto borne by the state. The Minister is wholly wrong to suggest that the Government could not consider such a proposition. As my hon. Friend said, the Chancellor of the Exchequer commissioned a study of the payroll administration burdens of the part of the welfare state that employers administer through the payroll. I have referred to that previously in the Committee and the Minister and the
Column Number: 368Under-Secretary for Small Business—he is knowledgeable about and interested in the matter—will know that a system operating in the United States allows small employers to claim cost support for the administrative burden of managing payroll-based systems.
The amendment is not impossible and, since they are considering the matter, it clearly would not conflict with any principle that the Government hold dear. I accept that the costs would be small, but I do not accept that it is proper in principle for Government to transfer parts of their function wholesale, remove costs from their budget and expect someone else to take up the burden without compensation.
I shall now give way to the hon. Member for North Norfolk who has been exceptionally patient.

The PreSonus Studio Channel is a professional channel strip combining a Class A tube preamplifier, a VCA-based compressor, and a 3-band parametric equalizer. The Studio Channel is perfect for all levels of studios. Ideal for all types of microphones, instruments, keyboards, and synths, the PreSonus Studio Channel has the sonic power and flexibility to achieve any tone you can dream of, including luscious in-your-face vocals, crystal-clear acoustic guitars, fat, solid bass guitar, dynamic acoustic piano, cracking snare, punchy bass, huge MPC tracks, and more.
Enhance your signal path
The Presonus Studio Channel was designed to outperform preamplifiers that are built-in to most recording interfaces and affordable mixers. Add a VCA-based compressor and studio-grade equalizer to the class A tube preamp and you get not only big, fat, tube tonality but also complete control of your tone and sounds. Since much of the recording process is accomplished one track at a time, you need a signal path that can deliver a variety of high quality tones and sounds, which is why the Studio Channel is a prime tool for any studio.
Class A Tube Preamplifier
The Studio Channel has everything needed to deliver big tone. The preamplifier stage of the Studio Channel is based on the award-winning BlueTube preamplifier with a high-output 12AX7 vacuum tube operating on voltages higher than other preamplifiers in its class. It delivers high headroom and big tone. Dual control Gain and Tube Drive enables a wide range of sounds from transparent and clear to edgy and overdriven.
Full-Featured VCA Compressor
The compressor in the channel strip is a fully variable ultra-fast and smooth VCA-based circuit with all of the controls needed for a wide-range of compression settings: ratio, threshold, attack, release, and gain make up. The VCA-based compressor is known for musicality as well as ultra fast attack with the ability to tame the fastest transients. From slap bass, to snare drum, to vocals, the Studio Channel's compressor stage allows you to record as hot as needed without clipping giving you total dynamic control.
Three-Band Parametric EQ
The equalizer in the PreSonus Studio Channel is like a Swiss Army pocket knife, with the ability to carve out unwanted frequencies as well as tailor your tone to enhance your sound. The custom-designed amplifiers in the EQ deliver sweet-sounding gain/cut for ultra smooth highs, deep, solid lows, and clear midrange. The mid-band of the EQ section has variable Q for controlling the width around the center point of the selected frequency. High and low frequency bands give you the option for selecting peak/dip or shelving frequencies.

Comments about Presonus Studio Channel Tube Channel Strip:
Simply put: Versatile, no noise, and downright awesome! And the warmth of a tube. I will be buying several more in the very near future. I also own the PreSonus Firestudio Project which is another excellent piece of gear which can be chained with up to 4 other units. These guys know how to build some of the best gear out there; Period!!!
Comments about Presonus Studio Channel Tube Channel Strip:
This is my first preamp purchase. I had been using the built-in preamp in my M-Audio fasttrack pro audio interface previously. I had inputs connected to Shure 57s which are used to mic my amp. My problem was that the amplification was turned to max and with the mic placed at distances away from the cloth, I couldn't get any dynamic range for my DAW. Place the mic too close, and the sound goes very muddy. The sound coming out of this tube unit is so warm, and the recording quality was immediately noticeable. It's small enough to be on my desk. Having a built-in compressor also helps out a lot when I record anything clean (with flanger sometimes). Some boss pedals tend to make the sounds clip quite easily, and the compression prevents that. It's also great that it can be a soft-knee. Very happy about the price and the purchase since it solved a lot of my problems while also providing the warm tone and maintaining all the nuances without noticeable dirt. Typically preamps costs way more, but this fits my price range prefectly.
Comments about Presonus Studio Channel Tube Channel Strip:
This preamp really has a great sound and useable features. The first song I recorded was an acoustic guitar piece with a doubled vocal to test it out. Right out of the box all settings were halfway up so I left it that way and recorded with an Oktava 319. It came out better than anything from my home studio to date, hands down! I was using an Art Tube Pac which wasn't bad, but this is the next level for sure. After this are the Avalon's and UA's when I can afford it.
Comments about Presonus Studio Channel Tube Channel Strip:
So good, I bought a second. As with most things from PreSonus, the Studio Channel is dripping with features, but also has good build and audio quality. A lot of little touches, like an instrument jack on front for, well...instruments, a big VU meter, and the ability to switch the low and high EQ individually from parametric (or notch) to shelving add to the already solid list of specs for this compact (1U) piece of gear. I/O is yet more versatile on the back panel, with a choice of line or XLR input, and either XLR or TRS output. It is quiet, and does not get terribly hot (perhaps these are the reasons why PreSonus chose to use their standard external 16V/1A AC power wart rather than an internal mains supply), and it has a nice, not-too-flashy dark blue bezel with sturdy anodized aluminum knobs, so no special care or gentle handling are needed for racking, other than making room for the wart on your power strip. Knob movement is smooth and stiff, so you aren't likely to accidentally change a carefully selected setting with the careless brush of a sleeve. In a very dark studio, indicator lights from some buttons can bleed to the next, but if you have a TubePre or a BlueTube you probably already are used to double-checking your 48V from the height of the button before you plug in that ribbon anyway. Considering how much other rackmount channel strips, like the Grace M103, or lunchboxes go for, there really is no comparison in this price range.
Comments about Presonus Studio Channel Tube Channel Strip:
I purchased this to use as an instrumental tube preamp. I'll use it live next to my instrument or mic, or I'll use it in a studio setting. It's a very convenient item because a preamp, EQ, and compressor are all combined into one strip. My only two dislikes are the flimsy push/release buttons and it's LACK of a standard three prong power chord that are used by most professional electronics. Aside from those two complaints, this item does everything it claims to; and it does so very well!
Comments about Presonus Studio Channel Tube Channel Strip:
This is one of the best channel strips in the box you can buy. Put on any mic and add the phantom power(when needed), compressor(great for vocal tracts) and parametric EQ. Then dial in how much real tube you want to warm things up and your(good) home studio mic sounds great!!!! Blows the berringer ultragain (which I traded in) out of the water. Forget about the duel imput and 1/2 price of the Berringer-don't make the 1st mistake I did. Go for the presonus-you will not be diappointed. This is one of the best studio tools I have bought recently. FYI I paired this with the Blue encore 200 for and awesome vocal performance.
Comments about Presonus Studio Channel Tube Channel Strip:
this is the perfect preamp for the price it gives a very warm sound to vocals very smooth. it gives my digital computer setup a nice look because i finally have some hardware with a vu needle that actually moves. i reccomend this product for all recording studios using an audio interface

Shoei X-Fourteen Type-I Center Pad Front S5 Helmet Accessories
Compact – Lightweight - Aerodynamic Design.
The state-of-the-art wind tunnel facility at SHOEI's Ibaraki factory is an integral part of the helmet design process. Thanks to time well spent in the tunnel from its very beginning stages of development, the RF-1200 boasts a more compact and aerodynamic shell than its predecessor, earning praise and appeal as SHOEI's lightest Snell-certified full-face model to date. Additionally, the RF-1200 offers a reduction in wind noise without blocking the road's "informative sounds" thanks to its optimal shell aerodynamics and liner components that have been designed to prevent unwanted road noises from entering through the bottom of the helmet.
Ventilation Performance.
Utilizing SHOEI's wind tunnels to help reveal the optimal balance between airflow and silence, SHOEI engineers equipped the all-new RF-1200 with a large, three-position lower vent shutter for ease of use with riding gloves, three upper air vents for optimal air intake, and four uniquely-positioned upper exhaust outlet vents to take better advantage of negative pressure suction-all yielding dramatically-improved cool–air intake and hot–air expulsion.
CWR-1 Shield.
The RF-1200's CWR-1 shield provides a vast field of vision that rivals helmetless peripheral. In addition to protecting against 99% Of the sun's damaging UV rays, the CWR-1 shield offers a distortion-free view throughout the entire range thanks to SHOEI's 3D injection-molding process. Additionally, innovative new ribs on the top and bottom edge of the shield improve rigidity and eliminate the bending that may occur from wind pressure and during the opening and closing process, and an improved shield locking mechanism rounds out SHOEI's most advanced shield system to date.
Q-RE Base Plate System.
Coupled with the CWR-1 shield, the RF-1200's all-new QR-E base plate system facilitates quicker shield changes than ever before. Once a shield is installed, the strengthened spring-loaded base plates pull the shield back against the dual-lip, dual-layered window beading to ensure a wind and waterproof seal with each and every closure. Add to the mix an all-new five-stage rotating dial that allows fine-tuning the base plate's function more precisely than ever, and you're left with the most advanced base plate/shield combination on the market today.
Pinlock Anti-Fog System.
The all-new RF-1200 comes equipped with a Pinlock Fog-Resistant System, offering the most effective anti-fog protection in existence. A simple, one-step installation process makes every Pinlock lens easy to install.
Multi-Ply Matrix AIM+ Shell.
Few characteristics of a motorcycle helmet are as critical as its first-layer defense, which is precisely why the new RF-1200 features the SHOEI-exclusive Multi-Ply Matrix AIM+ Shell construction. Combining fiberglass with organic fibers, the RF-1200's proprietary AIM+ Shell is not only incredibly strong, it is extremely lightweight and compact. The RF-1200 is Snell M2010 and DOT approved.
4 Shell Sizes.
While some of our competitors rely on foam padding for fitting a wide range of customers, SHOEI offers an industry-leading four shell sizes in the RF-1200 to ensure a custom fit for heads between the sizes of XS-XXL.
Borrowing technology developed for SHOEI's groundbreaking VFX-W and X-Twelve racing helmets, SHOEI equipped the RF-1200 with its exclusive Emergency Quick Release System that allows emergency medical personnel to easily remove the cheek pads from an injured rider's helmet. With the cheek pads removed, the helmet can be safely lifted from a rider's head without creating unnecessary strain in the neck area.
3D Max-Dry System II Interior.
The RF-1200 is equipped with a fully removable, washable, adjustable, and replaceable 3D Max-Dry System II interior. The 3D center pad components are three-dimensionally shaped to match the contours of a rider's head, allowing for an extremely comfortable fit while maintaining the firm hold necessary for distraction-free, high-speed riding. Additionally, the RF-1200's 3D-shaped cheek pads are available in multiple thicknesses for a customizable fit, and SHOEI's exclusive Max-Dry System II liner material absorbs and dissipates sweat and moisture twice as fast as traditional Nylon interiors.
Dual-Layer / Multi-Density EPS Liner.
The RF-1200's Dual-Layer, Multi-Density EPS liner not only provides enhanced impact absorption by utilizing varying densities of foam in key areas around the rider's head, it is designed to allow cooling air to travel unrestricted through tunnels created in the EPS, further enhancing the RF-1200's superior ventilation characteristics. In addition to enhanced impact absorption and ventilation, the precise placement of multi-density EPS liner material yields a more compact, lightweight design.
Chin Curtain.
The chin curtain can be inserted into the lower edge of the chin bar to reduce wind turbulence and noise.
Breath Guard.
The breath guard can be inserted into the upper edge of the chin bar to help reduce fogging by diverted exhausted breath down out the bottom of the helmet.
Ear Pads.
The RF-1200 is equipped with removable ear pads.

To access our measuring tape Click Here. (Download the following head measuring tape, print, cut and measure your head.)
Each helmet model has small differences in its shape that ultimately affect the fit. For this reason, it is essential to test a helmet before buying it. Test whether it sits on your head properly by putting on the helmet and moving your head to the left and right, as well as up and down while holding the helmet firmly with both hands. If your head can move too freely within the helmet, we recommend that you try a smaller size. If you feel local pressure points, then choose a helmet that is one size larger, or perhaps try on a different model.
Wrap a cloth measuring tape around your head just above your eyebrows and ears. Pull the tape comfortably snug, read the length, repeat for good measure and use the largest measurement.

|Criminal Justice and Police Bill
Mr. Heald: On that basis, I am prepared to accept that formal consultation will be undertaken, so I need not press the amendment to a Division. However, I stress that we perceive as important the involvement of the front endthe officers who do the jobin a lot of these discussions. It is easy for someone high up in an organisation to think that introducing such training opportunities would be marvellous without bearing it in mind that an officer who could be on the front line may become unavailable because of that training. The officer may not feel that the training meets his needs. The point is made to me sometimes that training is not always as sharp as it might be. However, I beg to ask leave to withdraw the amendment.
Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
Clause 88 ordered to stand part of the Bill.

Hanseatic city and a seaside resort: Ships, a lighthouse and many historic delights
Foto: Fotoagentur Nordlicht
A homely city or romantic fishermen"s village, Middle Age architecture or a magical coastal landscape, paintings, theatre and large ships, Rostock has something on offer for everyone. In the summer the city with its own seaside resort changes to a seaside resort with its own city and they are both very popular. Every summer the Baltic Sea and the seaside resort of Warnemünde are an attractive location for hundreds of thousands. Sunbathers and keen swimmers enjoy the cool water and the wide sandy beach. Yet the seaside is not only there for swimming. Small guests can do something nearly every day in their summer holidays. Warnemünde, a town unique to the German Baltic coastline has lots of things to see and do: a lighthouse open to tourists, moles and giant ships that sail past all day long. Imposing cruise liners are one of the summer attractions. The Alter Strom is a beautiful place to walk around and gorge yourself in. Old fishermen"s houses have now been turned into shops, cafés and restaurants. The fish market on the opposite bank of the Alter Strom has also developed itself into a gastronomic mile. However, Warnemünde is not only a tip for summer. You can walk or cycle nearly all year round and if you"re looking for wellness then you are best to come to Rostock"s seaside resort in autumn and winter.
You can"t say you"ve seen Rostock if you"ve only visited Warnemünde. The snake on the city hall was once the identifying sculpture for Rostock"s visitors. The work of art is a small sight on the side. In the historic city there are other sights that first catch the eye: large churches, towers or city gates, gabled houses, warehouses and the city hall with its seven towers. Art enthusiasts will find many examples of north-German Gothic brick architecture " an architectural style, which saw its glory at the times of the Hanseatic League in the north of Germany. It is too tempting just to stroll past, so why not go inside: experience the powerful St. Marien church from inside with its famous astronomical clock. There is even free admission to the zum Heiligen Kreuz convent where the many delights of the Cultural History Museum are housed. You can see a massive tree trunk inside the Hausbaumhaus (house tree house) and look down on the city centre and the Warnow from a viewing platform on the highest tower in the city without having to walk up one step. Rostock offers many different architectural styles, from old to new, pedestrian zones with cafés, restaurants and numerous shopping possibilities. The city harbour is also a perfect location for a stroll with old and modern ships and restaurants right next to the water.

Updated Political Map of pharmaceutical bloggers
Clicking individual "dots" should open the respective blogs in a new window. For comparison with historical political figures and UK political parties according to the authors of the test see here.
Blogs so far are
Healthcare Renewal (Roy Poses and others) - the serious master of them all
Pharmagossip (Jack Friday) - the less serious master of them all
Pharmalot - and the man behind it - Ed Silverman of The Star-Ledger of New Jersey. Superlative journalism and a key source.
Brandweek NRX and Dr Peter Rost, previous Vice President of Pfizer
Pharma Giles - Good Fun
Pharma Fraud - Doesn't Like J&J particularly
Furious Seasons - Excellent look at seriously bad science in psychiatry
Scientific Misconduct Blog - This blog
Clinical Psychology and Psychiatry: A great blog discussing the malfunction of medical science with an emphasis on psychiatry
Pharma BlogoSphere and much more from John Mack (Editor & Publisher of Pharma Marketing News/Pharma Marketing Blog)
Dr Scot Silverstein, an author at Healthcare Renewal
1, 2 and 3 are three excellent and hard hitting (and deeply depressing) UK-based patient blogs devoted specifically to exposing misconduct and misrepresentation in clinical trials of Seroxat (Paxil) and various aspects of the integrity of GlaxoSmithKline.
1 = Bob Fiddaman Blog
2 = Seroxat Secrets
3 = It's quite an experience: Matt Holford (a compliance lawyer)
4 is Honest Medicine. Julia Schopick created Honest Medicine in honor of her late husband, Tim Fisher, as a way to "work with others to make significant changes to the way people think about, and interact with, our flawed medical system."
This test is significantly flawed, but we'll leave that for another day.

It is my opinion that Trent Lott could have said he hated 'n-word's, if he didn't mean to say that, but rather it came out in some horible misunderstanding, and he repented for that. Then he should not be chastised for it.
Since when do we judge men on words and not actions? Since the television, no more is the days of great men doing great things. Now enters the age of Great speakers doing nothing or worse. Hitler, would be the greatest warning, but no one knows how to teach that fact.

A picture may say a thousand words; a picture may also prompt a thousand words. This morning I'm looking through a series of photos of my father who died 18 months ago. We were on a fishing trip in Canada with my boys and some friends. It was an amazingly rich time, and these pictures bring it all back. Looking them over makes me reflective, pensive, and dredges up emotions I hope never fully diminish. I'm looking through these alone, but then again, I'm strangely aware that I'm not alone. These photos probe something deep in me, and remind me that while I don't have my father with me now, God is with me and I can speak with him.
We keep photos of family and friends to prompt our memories and to etch particular moments deeply in our minds. In our family we've not taken a lot of time to organize our photos. Maybe that will come one day soon when we're no hectically longer running our children to dance and ball games, events we probably should document in photos with more consistently than we do!
Sitting and looking through photos from our past can be a rich, emotional, painful, refreshing time, particularly this holiday time of the year. This is a season for making memories and for reliving them. Photos can help that, and surprisingly, they can help us pray. God alone can fill our deepest longings, heal our loneliness, disappointments and answer our hopes. Seeing important images brings our heart up to the surface. They can be a good platform for prayer.
Today try something new: Pray through a family photo album a file of images on your computer. Use these pictures as an opportunity to thank God for the precious people in your life. Ask for God's blessing on them to fulfill their destinies. Ask God to heal relationship rifts, and to help you heal from the grief of loved ones lost. The people in your life are created in God's image. Images of them help us see and remember this, and can, if we choose prompt us to lift them to God.
Check out the other "21 Ways to Pray" in a special Beliefnet devotional I've written. And as always, feel free to add in your own perspectives.

For Anne and Craig Haupt, recycling the family's apple juice and soda bottles once meant hauling five or six boxes of empties from the basement of their Hamilton home to a Dundalk packaging plant. Tomorrow, they will simply carry a bin full of glass and a gold-colored tub filled with tin cans, milk jugs and shampoo bottles to the curb in front of their house.
Goodbye, trash. Hello, curbside recycling.
"It relieves me of one more thing that I have to do," said Mrs. Haupt, a busy mother of two young sons and a nurse who works three days a week at Maryland General Hospital.
Beginning this week and next, the Haupts and residents of about 20,000 other homes in North and Northeast Baltimore will be able to have a wide variety of recyclable goods picked up and hauled to processing facilities for free by two private contractors hired by the city.

Nonprofit Groups Withholding Donations from Hurricane Sandy Victims
Many nonprofit organizations are withholding donations to Hurricane Sandy victims, whom they raised money for, claims New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman.
After Hurricane Sandy hit the New York and New Jersey coasts in October 2012, numerous charitable groups began collecting donations from the public to help with relief efforts.
Schneiderman says 89 charities raised more than half a billion dollars, but only 57 percent of the money had been given to Hurricane Sandy relief by April 2013. That means $238 million in donations has been kept by the nonprofits.
"This is about transparency. This is about accountability," Schneiderman told My Fox NY. "This is about us all understanding that the money goes where the donors intended and the relief is delivered effectively and efficiently."
The American Red Cross gave all of its Hurricane Sandy donation, about $300 million, to Sandy relief, but Schneiderman said at least 17 other nonprofit organizations plan to use Sandy donations for non-Sandy purposes.
"We ask those who have retained the money collected to do the right thing. Get the money out to the intended beneficiaries which are the victims of Hurricane Sandy," added State Sen. Joseph Addabbo Jr.

Stephen Harper's decision to send a long list of questions on Senate reform to the Supreme Court of Canada — all the stories say six questions, but two are multiple-choice, so I count 14 — reflects an advanced state of uncertainty about how to handle Parliament's upper house.
Since Harper campaigned for his job seven years ago on a promise to elect senators, and since he has had his majority for nearly two years but is only now asking the top court questions that must surely have preoccupied Justice Department lawyers since at least 2006, his decision indicates he is still improvising on a non-trivial constitutional file.
Actually, I have always kind of liked this dishevelled approach to the Senate-reform task. After the 1992 Charlottetown referendum, Jean Chrétien had a ready-made answer on the Senate: I was all in favour of a Senate reform that would have given the West more clout, but the people rejected it, he'd say. Chrétien and Stéphane Dion and, after the customary vague period, Paul Martin all said a piecemeal reform would freeze a dysfunctional upper house in place. Only wholesale reform would fix anything. And since that was impossible, why bother?
From where Harper sat, that line of argument was repulsive. He always heard it as Let's do nothing to reform an unelected patronage house that drives a lot of resentment in much of the country. So his most consistent position has been that anything would be better than the Senate we've got. "This party's preference is to see a reformed and elected Senate, but the Senate must change," he said in 2007. "If the Senate cannot be elected, then it should be abolished. Those are the choices." This has the advantages of being the opposite of what Liberals say; of sounding impatient rather than complacent; and of sounding flexible about outcomes. You're welcome to debate the two sides' relative moral superiority in the comment boards, but to me, between the team with a clear plan to do nothing and the team with a vague plan to do something, it's hardly an easy pick.
The prime minister's hope seems to have been that he could make some small change to Senate composition, blow the system's equilibrium, and seek advantage in the resulting free-for-all. (Meanwhile, of course, since 2009 he's appointed an army of senators under the old rules, with many of the old results.) His problem is that he hasn't managed to shake the system up at all. All he's done is get Quebec's government to challenge his reform project in court. The Quebec Liberal justice minister who launched that case used to be Michael Ignatieff's principal secretary, so of course Christian Paradis was quick to badmouth him as out of touch with Quebec popular opinion. But that's fixed. Now the new Parti Québécois government has inherited the Quebec court challenge, and nobody there worked for Ignatieff, and now parties representing 104 of Quebec's 125 provincial ridings have joint ownership of this legal challenge, so Christian Paradis is outnumbered.
Harper has gotten very far depending more on endurance and his gut than on extensive planning. Muddling through is an underrated way to go about the job of running a government. It's almost the only way that works, as Harold Macmillan knew. But some challenges are more suited to incremental improvement than others.
If the court even accepts all of the 14-part reference, and reports in a timely manner, and indicates any way the feds can unilaterally change the nomination process and term length of senators — even if all of those variables break Harper's way, it'll still be hard to get far by treating the senate as an issue Harper can nudge forward on slow days and ignore on busy days.

Wayne Wagner's graduation gift to his sister
Giving News
It wasn't his graduation.
It wasn't even his alma mater. But something touched Wayne Wagner that night, and a scholarship was born.
It was December 2002, and Wagner was attending the UT School of Nursing commencement as the proud big brother of graduate Nicole Murry. Honored as an outstanding student, Murry was a featured speaker. Then it came time to hear from Dean Dolores Sands, who not only delivered standard graduation fare but also reminded the graduates that they had a responsibility to give back to the University. Wagner had never heard a college dean speak so directly, and he knew he had to act.
"It just came to me that night," he said. "I went and hunted the dean down."
Wagner also saw something special in the 40 members of his sister's graduating class: an overwhelming desire to help others.
"I was just blown away," he said. "It was so refreshing to have every one of those 40 get up there and talk about how they just wanted to change the world."
A scholarship was born that night — a scholarship named for Murry that would help students follow in her footsteps in the School of Nursing. The Nicole Streuding Temprovich Murry Undergraduate Scholarship in Nursing became Wagner's graduation present to his sister.
"What a great gift," Murry said. "Better than your usual."
Murry is now a nurse manager of Neonatal Intermediate Care at CHRISTUS Santa Rosa Children's Hospital in San Antonio. Before that she worked as a neonatal intensive care nurse and nurse educator at St. David's Hospital in Austin. Wagner is Western division sales director for Principal Funds, a division of Principal Financial Group, also in San Antonio.
When it comes to giving, Wagner knows that not everyone can be a Bill Gates or a Warren Buffett. He isn't. But as a financial executive he knows there are many ways to make a gift without writing a check today. At his age, 41, life insurance is still very affordable. After his lifetime, the University will receive the proceeds of his policy.
Estate donors, he said, "have the ability to see way down the road."
Stephanie Wagner isn't surprised at her husband's decision to give.
"Wayne is such an amazing human being who is all about everyone around him and not about himself," she said. "He's about that in everything in his life."
Wagner, whose family had little money for college, knew he would give back to higher education from the moment he registered at the University of Southern California. When it came time to pay his tuition he couldn't understand why he didn't owe the full amount. The cashier explained that people gave money to the university to help students like him. Wagner found the concept mind-boggling. He promised himself that he, too, would help college students someday.
"There's some probably deserving but not financially capable person who's going to go to this school because of Steph and me," he said.
Wagner gives for another reason, too. He grew up in San Antonio, where he and Stephanie live with their three sons. He knows his family will be longtime Texans.
"We believe in Texas as a state," he said. "You've got to have an educated population if you're going to be competitive on a global basis."
The Wagners lived in Austin during Murry's years at UT. They helped her through school, offering both emotional and financial support. In that time Wagner began to see the nursing profession differently.
"I took on a new respect for nursing," Wagner said. "I didn't realize how much science and chemistry it took. It's brutal."
Murry loves working in neonatal care.
"It's not just a job," she said. "Realizing what an impact you can make on a life every day is really the important thing."
Murry reveres her profession — and the school where she learned it. She marvels at the fact that future nurses will be able to study in her name.
"I believe in nursing," she said. "I believe in the future of nursing, and giving someone the opportunity to attend this nursing school is an incredible feeling."
Wagner says giving is both a responsibility and a privilege.
"You will get way more from the experience than you will ever imagine."

Undercover research by consumer magazine Which? found some funeral directors were giving poor advice and failing to give bereaved customers clear prices.
The probe also found that only half of the funeral homes that subscribe to the industry code offered the option of a "simple" funeral.
Experts from Which? made 20 visits to funeral directors, including the two biggest providers – the Co-operative and Dignity.
They rated the advice given on 14 of the visits as poor or very poor while on two visits, the magazine found potential breaches of the Consumer Protection Regulations over the selling of embalming.
A branch of the Co-op advised embalming at an extra cost because of the condition of the skin.
A spokesman later said the Co-op would reiterate to staff the important of using correct language and not to mislead customers.
At a Dignity branch, a member of the Which? panel was told their relative would not be suitable to be viewed without being embalmed.
A spokesman said: "We believe that embalming is beneficial because it slows decomposition. This means that where a family wish to view, the experience will be much more comfortable."
The findings of the investigation are in the February issue of the magazine.
Joanna Pearl, Which? health and social care expert, said: "Our investigation found many examples of poor practice among funeral directors, but we applaud the examples of empathy and good practice we did see.
"But a good funeral arrangement is about more than empathy; it's about comprehensive and correct advice along with impeccable professional conduct, which we did not always see.
"Arranging a funeral involves making difficult decisions at a time of considerable distress – funeral directors must get it right every time."

True story: Susan burned moxibustion (moxa) on my sister-in-law's toe, and my nephew flipped from breech to optimal, head down position almost immediately.
Top Five Benefits of Acupuncture and Pregnancy:
- Conception
- Alleviating Discomfort
- Spinning that Baby
- Riping for Labor
- Postpartum Care
Susan McMigas at Flourish in Vancouver, WA has created a beautiful and healing space for women to receive care before, during, and after pregnancy. She is committed to sharing resources to ensure women have access to tools that make a real difference in their motherhood journey.
Unfortunately, I first met Susan after I had all three kiddos. After ignoring an issue with a swollen knee for three months, I finally made an appointment with Susan thanks to a suggestion from a dear friend. As I was dropping my kids off at my sister-in-law's house on my way to acupuncture, my sister-in-law exclaimed, "Susan flipped Luke [her son], during the last week of my pregnancy!". I'm not sure how this wasn't discussed between us before. I told Susan of our connection the moment I met her, and we spent the better part of 20 minutes talking about the benefits of acupuncture during pregnancy.
True story: Susan burned moxibustion (moxa) on my sister-in-law's toe, and my nephew flipped from breech to optimal, head down position almost immediately. "According to TCM theory, moxa has a tonifying and warming effect which promotes movement and activity. The nature of heat is also rising. This warming and raising effect is utilized to encourage the baby to become more active and lift its bottom up in order to gain adequate momentum to somersault into the head down position. This technique can also be used to re-position transverse presentation, a situation where the baby's has its shoulder or back pointing down, or is lying sideways across the abdomen" (Pregnancy, Birth, and Beyond).
Susan is clear that several appointments may be needed, but they won't be a waste of time. Take it from me, the relaxation involved is worth the effort of getting a sitter, time off work, and spending the extra money if acupuncture isn't covered by your insurance.

KEY COMMENTS! Here's What You Had To Say About R-Patz's 'Remember Me'
Senior Entertainment Reporter
You, the readers, had a lot to say when it came to Robert Pattinson's movie Remember Me not doing so hot at the box office!
Ruz Bradley It isn't Rpattz fault if the writing is not good. He just wants to work and it's only a film. DiCaprio made a bomb after Titanic and he's still going strong. Courage, Rob!!
RSD I went to see the movie twice. The theater was packed. It is a low budget film and it is playing in fewer theaters. It met the expectations, so I don't think that qualifies as "bombed."
Joni I thought Roberts movie was fabulous and can he act. It is a shame that people can not see what a remarkable actor he is.I hope he doesn't get discouraged about what the press is saying because what do they know anyway.

Penned by Jon Croker, "Seized by the government and converted into a military mental hospital during World War II, the sudden arrival of disturbed soldiers to Eel Marsh Harsh has awoken its darkest inhabitant. Eve, a beautiful young nurse, is sent to the house to care for the patients but soon realizes she must save them from more than their own demons. Despite Eve's efforts to stop her, one by one they fall victim to the Woman in Black."
It will shoot likely next spring. Head inside for the art!

After the overwhelming success of the first The Crystal Ship, curated by Bjorn van Poucke, the preparations for this year's edition started in full swing!
During the first week of the Belgian Easter Holidays more than 20 (inter)national artists overtook the city and proudly presented their work to the public on Saturday 8th and Sunday 9th of April. Reputable names such as Axel Void, Phlegm, Alexis Diaz, Henrik Uldalen and C215 left a permanent mark on the city by the sea.
Mayor Johan Vande Lanotte commented: "With over 50.000 visitors to The Crystal Ship, we did not hesitate to invite The Crystal Ship for a second year in a row, instead of bi-annually. We want to put Ostend on the map as a European travel destination in the field of public art. We have the ambition to collect 60 works of internationally prestigious artists in our city by 2018."
This year's line-up included world-renowned names from a wide spectrum of contemporary and public practices.
Alexis Diaz (PR) – Axel Void (US) – Bosoletti (AR) – Buck (BE) – C215 (FR) – Hell'O Collective (BE) – Hyuro (ES) – Jaune (BE) – Johannes Mundinger (DE) – Levalet (FR) – Nelio (FR) – Nuart presents Henrik Uldalen (NO) – Outings Project (FR) – Pastel (AR) – Phlegm (UK) – Ricky Lee Gordon (SA) – Schellekens & Peleman (BE) – Sebas Velasco (ES) – SpY (ES) – Strook (BE)
If you make it to Ostend, the starting point of The Crystal Ship is at Achturenplein Ostend, where you can get a free map that guides you through the open-air exhibition. If not check out our recap below with highlights from our visit.

The trend of rising obesity rates in the past decade may be reversing among US preschoolers, according to the first national study to report a decline in the condition among young children.
The research by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that the number of obese 2- to 4-year-olds from low-income families dropped 1.8 percent from 2003 to 2010, while those who were extremely obese fell 6.8 percent. The findings were published today in a research letter in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
"We've flipped from going up to really now showing a decrease," said Heidi Blanck, acting director of the Division of Nutrition, Physical Activity and Obesity at the Atlanta-based CDC. "It's a modest decrease, but at least we've changed the direction."
