As one of the highest-profile Tea Party candidates of 2010, Rand Paul made reducing federal spending a centerpiece of his successful campaign for a Senate seat from Kentucky.
In a Nov. 7, 2010, appearance on ABC's This Week with Christiane Amanpour, Paul -- who easily defeated Democrat Jack Conway on Election Day -- suggested the debt is growing to staggering levels.
"The interest on the debt now is going to approach in the next couple of years -- just the interest on the debt -- will approach what we spend in the national defense budget," Paul said.
We hadn't heard that comparison before, so we wanted to check it out. The first place we turned to was a historical table in the president's budget proposal for 2011. (Budget geeks will know it as Table 3.1: "Outlays by Superfunction and Function: 1940–2015.") Among the categories in this table are amounts for national defense spending and for net interest owed by the federal government.
The defense spending figure begins at $719 billion for 2010, then rises a bit before declining to $685 billion in 2015.
The net interest figure is smaller to start, but it rises more quickly. It starts at $188 billion in 2010, but ends up at $571 billion in 2015. That's roughly a tripling in five years.
If you compare the two figures year by year, you find that in 2010, net interest is equivalent to 26 percent of defense spending. That percentage rises to 33 percent for 2011, 50 percent for 2012, 66 percent for 2013, 76 percent for 2014 and 83 percent for 2015.
Paul has certainly characterized the general trendline correctly: Through 2015, net interest climbs closer and closer to the level of defense spending. But whether this counts as "in the next couple of years" -- and how close the percentage has to get to qualify as "approach(ing) ... what we spend in the national defense budget" -- is more of a judgment call. He would be more acccurate if he said 5 to 6 years instead of "couple of years" and relied on 90 percent as the threshold for "approaching." But both terms Paul used might be elastic enough to cover the numbers we found.
We will add that these figures are projections that may or may not come to pass, depending on what happens with the economy, policy changes, and military threats over the next decade. And we'll note that we're using the statistic called net interest, which includes interest owed the public, not interest that the government owes itself. If we used gross interest instead, the amount of interest would be higher, making interest a higher proportion of defense spending in each year. But the economists we spoke to said the best statistic to use for this evaluation is the smaller, net interest figure, so we'll stick with that one.
A Paul spokesman, Doug Stafford, added that "interest rates are historically low. There is no reason to believe that will continue. If they edged up to anywhere near historically average numbers, the interest on the debt would skyrocket as a percentage of the budget and would do so very rapidly."
The economists we spoke to said that's a valid concern, but we won't use it to grade Paul's statement on This Week, since it's based on speculation.
So let's put it all together. Paul is correct to point out the coming explosion in net interest payments -- a level that will rise steadily in comparison to defense spending over the next decade as defense spending falls modestly. He's a bit too aggressive when he says the interest burden will "approach ... what we spend in the national defense budget" in "the next couple of years." It will probably do so by 2015 or 2016, which would be the final two years of Barack Obama's second term, if he wins one. For a president who just survived his first midterm election, that seems pretty far away. Still, even if Paul's time span is slightly exaggerated, we don't think it's a fatal error, since his point about the trend is accurate. So we rate his statement Mostly True.
As one of the highest-profile Tea Party candidates of 2010, Rand Paul made reducing federal spending a centerpiece of his successful campaign for a Senate seat from Kentucky.

Going with the theme of having no idea, I have no idea where to really begin. I'm thinking I should probably start with letting you know a little bit about me. Here goes nothing:
- My name is Jessica.
- I'm 21 years old.
- I will be starting my third year at the local Junior College.
- Family and friends are a big part of my life.
- I love crafting.
- I am very shy.
- I love to cook and bake.
As for my first post, I think this is a good start. If you take anything from any of my posts, from this first one and any post in the future, I want it to be that each and every person has a story to tell. That story includes your past, present, and future. You can't go back and change your past (unless you're a time traveler), so live for your present and future. Make each moment of your life count.

|Objective: To determine whether maternal levels of follistatin-like-3 (FSTL3), an inhibitor of activin and myostatin involved in glucose homeostasis, are altered in the first trimester of pregnancies complicated by subsequent gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Research Design and Methods: This was a nested case-control study of subjects enrolled in a prospective cohort of pregnant women with and without GDM (\(\geq\)2 abnormal values on a 100-g glucose tolerance test at ~28 weeks of gestation). We measured FSTL3 levels in serum collected during the first trimester of pregnancy. Logistic regression analyses were used to determine the risk of GDM. Results: Women who developed GDM (n = 37) had lower first-trimester serum levels of FSTL3 compared with women who did not (n = 127) (median 10,789 [interquartile range 7,013-18,939] vs. 30,670 [18,370-55,484] pg/ml, P < 0.001). When subjects were divided into tertiles based on FSTL3 levels, women with the lowest levels demonstrated a marked increase in risk for developing GDM in univariate (odds ratio 11.2 [95% CI 3.6-35.3]) and multivariate (14.0 [4.1-47.9]) analyses. There was a significant negative correlation between first-trimester FSTL3 levels and ~28-week nonfasting glucose levels (r = -0.30, P < 0.001). Conclusions: First-trimester FSTL3 levels are associated with glucose intolerance and GDM later in pregnancy.

Islamabad: Federal Government has implemented rigorous financial discipline and achieved record 21 percent increase in recovery of taxes during the last four and half years, federal cabinet was informed on Wednesday.
Minister for Information and Broadcasting, Qamar Zaman Kaira told media persons after the cabinet meeting chaired by Prime Minister Raja Pervaiz Ashraf that the Finance Secretary informed the cabinet that the overall price situation has stabilized and the inflation in prices has been capped to single digit at 8.8 percent as compared to 25 percent in October 2008.
Following the policy of self dependence, the government has collectedRs 350 billion as taxes in the current year so far.
The overall revenue collection has doubled from Rs 1 trillion to Rs 2trillion in last four and half years.The government has raised in salaries of the employees by 115 per cent during its tenure, while the overall expenditure of the Federal Government has increased only by 6 percent against inflation of 11 to 12 percent.The country did not default on payment of loans both internal and external, he said. The tax to GDP ratio has increased by 0.5 per cent. However, the fiscal and monitory steps taken by the federal government were unfortunately not matched by the provincial governments and tax collection decreased in all the provinces.
He said that the cabinet was informed that the subsidy on power sector was affecting the financial prudence of the Federal Government. While the overall expenditure on the Federal Government is Rs 220 billion per annum, subsidy on power sector alone has reached the figure of Rs 30 billion per month.
In fact, the government is providing subsidy on power sector to keep the homes and hearths of the people at a subsidized rate.
Minister for Information and Broadcasting, Qamar Zaman Kaira said that several Presidents of Pakistan in the past worked against the PPP. Rafiq Tarrar should be asked that for which service he was awarded the office of the President.
Moreover,he questioned that what was the reason behind issuance of licence to open a new bank to Younus Habib in 1992.Referring to the release of tapes involving Justice Quyyum and Nawaz Sharif's crony Saifur Rehman, he said that it was strange that the judge had to resign but the then Chief Minister who also happens to be the Chief Minister of Punjab again did not face any punishment.
He said the Punjab government had no majority in the provincial assembly, and it was being saved by crutches of turncoats from PML-Q.The then PPP government did not award Tamgha-e-Jamhooriat to one but the whole institution, he added.
Kaira reminded the media that after the 1990 election Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto had issued a white paper revealing the details of rigging in 100 constituencies which is part of the history now."Since the time of Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto,to Benazir Bhutto and 2002 elections, either our mandates were stolen or our party was broken to install government of choice", said the minister.
Replying to a question, Kaira said that when the PPP-led government came to power in 2008,the economy was in tatters and there was recession in international markets, Pakistan had over 250,000 IDPs from Swat and Malakand. Moreover, the country was hit by
devastating floods in 2010 and 2011 and in such a situation bringing inflation from 25 percent in September 2008 to September 2012 was no mean achievement.
About the office of the President he said that it was a political office as it was part of the parliament. However, Kaira said that the President should be impartial but there is no bar on meetings of the leadership of political parties with him. About the perception of planned army operation in North Waziristan, he said that the government has already clarified that no such operation being done there. He said that if any decision would be made by political and military leadership, it will be shared with the media and the nation.
To a question about increase in public sector debt, he said that in presence of Fiscal Responsibility Act,the government cannot exceed the limit. If loans quantity has increased it shows that size of our national economy has registered growth.He said that in the past blanket subsidy was given by the previous governments which benefitted the poor and rich alike, but after coming to power the present government introduced targeted subsidy through Benazir Income Support Programme as the poor sections of the society need the same.He said that Compressed Natural Gas Owners Association has its own viewpoint which it will present in the Supreme Court, and perhaps they are going to file a review petition against direction to reduce the CNG price.
Minister for Information Qamar Zaman Kaira informed the media that the Prime Minister said that on completion of its term, the main agenda of the present Government is to arrange free, fair and impartial elections in order to strengthen democracy. In this regard, the steps taken by the present Government have been appreciated everywhere in the world. He said that decision of the Supreme Court in case of Asghar Khan has exposed many political actors. We are making institutional efforts to ensure that such incidents are not repeated in future. The Prime Minister also thanked the people of Gujar Khan for making his first public meeting a great success, he said.
Kaira said that Interior Minister Rehman Malik briefed the Cabinet on health condition of Malala Yousafzai. He informed the Cabinet that she is improving gradually but as per the doctors assessment, it will take quite some time for her to fully recover. As directed by the President and the Prime Minister, the Government of Pakistan is defraying all expenses on her treatment and Pakistan High Commissioner in UK has been designated as official guardian of Malala Yousafzai. He said that the Interior Minister also informed the Cabinet that the Government is looking after the treatment of the other two girls injured in the incident. The Cabinet appreciated the efforts of the Interior Minister in handling the international media on issues related to Malala incident.
The Cabinet considered and accorded its approval for initiation of negotiations for a Reciprocal Agreement between Government of Pakistan and Government of the United Arab Emirates and MoU between the Financial
Monitoring Unit (FMU) Pakistan and Financial Intelligence Unit United Arab Emirates.The Cabinet considered and accorded its approval for signing of MoU between Ministries of Defence of Iraq and Pakistan as regards Military Training of the Iraq Army; approval, in principle, of the General Agreement for Cooperation between John Hopkins University (JHU) USA and National Defence University (NDU) Pakistan; approval, in principle, to initiate negotiations on MoU between Pakistan and Egypt in the fields of Social Welfare; approval for ratification of MoU on Cooperation between Pakistan National Council of the Arts (PNCA) and Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR); approval for signing of agreement between Pakistan and Afro Asian Rural Development Organization (AARDO) for the establishment of sixth regional office of AARDO at Akhter Hameed Khan National Centre for Rural Development (AHK-NCRD) at Islamabad and approval for ratification of Visa Agreement with India.
The Cabinet considered and accorded its approval for termination of Pakistan-Greece Agreement on Avoidance of Double Taxation of Income from the Operation of Ships and Aircraft. The Cabinet also gave ex-post Facto approval of MoU between Board of Investment (BOI) Pakistan and Concentrix (CX) Solar Korea Co. Ltd.
The Cabinet decided to have a special meeting on overall financial policy of the Government which will suggest steps to improve economy and adopt measures to improve energy situation. This meeting will also discuss support prices of agricultural crops requiring subsidy to improve produce and earn foreign exchange. The Prime Minister asked the Cabinet members to furnish questions and suggestions to the Cabinet Division for discussion and decision during the special Cabinet meeting.
The Cabinet appreciated the measures taken by the Secretary, Ministry of Water and Power to reduce loadshedding specially during the Eid, which was a great relief to the people of Pakistan. The Cabinet appreciated the overall performance of the Ministry of Water and Power under the leadership of new Secretary, Ministry of Water and Power.

A Jack Jackety Mystery: the Strange Case of Walter Mitty
My name's Jack Jackety. I'm a British private dick. I've seen a lot of dirty business in my time; men beaten up by their own sisters, priests burgled, employees in a packaging firm deliberately stressed. Cumulatively, all the filth and squalid mayhem I'd encountered formed a large biscuit in my head, but nothing took that biscuit more than the strange case of Walter Mitty, an assignment I handled way back in the summer of 2003.
That summer was hot. Damned hot. The sidewalks sizzled in the town centres like warm slices of Battenburg cake. In the heat, railway lines bent and ferries started buckling. Homing pigeons refused to fly overground. Guide dogs convinced their masters the quickest route to work was along a line of children's paddling pools. I was sitting in my office, wondering if I turned the cooler up would that make it less cool, or more? Suddenly the phone rang.
"You don't know me, and this is entirely off the record, but there's been an inconvenient death, and a chap called Walter Mitty's involved. I want you to check it out. Find out who this Walter Mitty is, and if he's behind it."
"Is there a fee?" I barked back.
"You get results, you'll get paid. Tax and National Insurance will be dealt with at my end."
The phone went down. I had nothing to go on, apart from three hundred newspaper headlines that day with the words "Walter" and "Mitty" in them.
It was a start. I spent the rest of the day speaking to all the journalists in Britain. It was the most miserable day of my life.
But a clear pattern was emerging. Interference. It went all the way to the top. One newspaper guy I spoke to wrote the obituaries for a decent broadsheet. He told me he got a call from an "undisclosed source close to the heart of the office of power".
The caller said that, perhaps if he considered putting the words "Walter Mitty" in the obituary of the guy who's died inconveniently, then he and his wife might get some free tickets to Trooping the Colour.
If he didn't, the caller said, then he knew for a fact that other newspapers were preparing his own obituary.
A dame from another newspaper put me in touch with the priest chosen to conduct the service. The cleric told me he got a call the night before from an "off-the-record informant proximal to administrative governance", saying that if he cared to drop the words "Walter Mitty" into the eulogy, then the Lottery might restore his roof.
The curate simply slammed the phone down. Next day, several tabloids suggested he was a naked rambler.
On a hunch, I rang round all the local florists. Several of them said they'd received bulk orders the previous day for wreaths bearing messages of farewell along the lines of "goodbye, to a beloved friend and, some would say, a bit of a Walter Mitty character if one were to be truthfully honest".
Most refused, but the one florist who agreed was today given the contracts for four royal weddings.
I went home that night and laid my notes out in front of me. They covered the floor like pants from an orgy. I had so many leads, but no final answer.
It was clear there was a concerted campaign from very high up to get the name Walter Mitty into the public domain. Mitty was clearly someone in government who wanted everyone to know he was around. A fantasist. Someone who thought he could do more than he was capable of.
I read the original "Walter Mitty" story that night. It was about a little guy who thought he could be a world hero. Perhaps, one day, President. And then I dug out from my bin a photo of the Prime Minister speaking to Congress.
I smiled, and poured me a bourbon. I'd found my Walter Mitty.

No link to breast cancer
Contrary to assertions by the anti-choice lobby, medical research consistently shows that women who have had an abortion have no greater risk of breast cancer than those who have not.
A major ten-year study of 100,000 women published in 2007 in the US 'Archives of Internal Medicine' has concluded that neither induced nor spontaneous abortion was associated with the incidence of breast cancer. The research was conducted by researchers affiliated with the Harvard Medical School and th e Harvard School of Public Health.

So what is this Borges' version of the KP? It seems it is the KP in the language of Vasai-Bassein and Uttan, which Borges refers to as 'East Indian boli.' The author, I am learning, is not Thomas Stephens but rather a Fr Francisco Vaz de Guimaraes. However, Vaz wrote it in Portuguese; an unknown person translated it into East Indian boli. In that sense, then, the 'authorship' is really a complex matter.
But whatever: one more item for the Indian Christian Bibliography. Simon Borges' Khrista Purana. Or Francisco Vaz de Gimraes' Khrista Purana according to Simon Borges. An important historical record of the devolution of a great work into the purposes for which it was meant: catechesis of the 'Rudes' .
From Borges' Introduction:
According to available information, the first Khrista Purana was written by Fr Francisco Vaz de Guimaraes in Portuguese. This seems to have been first published in 1551 in Portugal, according to the historian Fr. Antonio Lerte. This was subsequently translated into East Indian dialect and published in the Roman script in Lisbon in 1659. The translator's name however is not mentioned. The book was published, once again in the Roman script, in Bombay in 1876. It seems to have been published repeatedly, despite the fact that Thomas Stephens' Khrista Purana had been published in 1614 and had attained great popularity and renown. Thus Vaz' Khrista Purana was published in the Devanagari script by Thomas Carvalho of Manickpur in 1922, and reprinted in 1927; in the Roman script by Luis Francis Gonsalves of Thana; and in an abridged form in 1960 by John D'Mello of Manickpur.I need to note, however, that Nelson Falcao has problems with some of the information given above....

The one day event was attended by selected clients and agents and included a hard hat tour of the venue, the opportunity to try the new food offering at the venue which champions choice and flexibility, an industry panel and a collaborative activity to create a large scale piece of art to be unveiled at the opening of the venue in the autumn.
The industry panel, which was facilitated by Triggerfish Communications MD Andrew White, focussed on Facilities vs. Experience and featured Rachael Bartlett, Head of Sales for Warwick Conferences and European President of International Association of Conference Centres; Richard Harrison, Head of Training and Conference Centres for Warwick Conferences; Leigh Cowlishaw, Director of Supplier Partnerships at Capita Travel and Events; and Paul Cook, Creator of Planet Planit. The panellists discussed the shift in thinking in the conference industry with the delegate experience coming to the fore and the need for the industry as a whole to continually adapt to meet client and delegate needs.
Rachael Bartlett, Head of Sales at Warwick Conferences, says: "We were delighted to welcome clients and agents to the mid-launch event for our new venue. It was fantastic to be able to share the insights behind our latest space ranging from its design to the catering to our decision not to offer packaged solutions. The venue has been developed to provide a fully flexible, blank canvas space that can be adapted in whichever way is necessary to meet the exact experience a client is looking to provide for their delegates. The intention with our new space is to give more control back to the client and let their individuality shine through.
"The response to our new venue has been phenomenal already. As it stands today, we have received enquiries equating to over £4.5m of conference and events business, which is fantastic and just goes to show the level of demand for a high capacity, high facility and flexible event space venue such as this in Central England."
Offering 650sqm of contemporary and highly flexible event space with capacity for 350 delegates seated, the new venue is set to open this autumn and will be available on an exclusive use basis so it can be customised to meet individual needs.

Human Rights Schools Coordinator's Meeting in Oslo
(19/12-2007) Regional and local human rights school coordinators from the West Balkan countries are gathered in Oslo this weekend to discuss and plan their work for the upcoming year.
The regional network of youth groups is a result of the Norwegian Helsinki Committee's human rights schools in the West Balkans over the past decade. The youth groups are now a definite force to reckon with for the promotion of human rights in the Balkans, and the main objective for the current meeting is to redefine organisational management so as to be less administratively and financially dependent on the Norwegian Helsinki Committee.

CLEMSON - There's a reason Dabo Swinney tries not to read the newspaper, watch the studio shows on television or listen to sports talk radio.
He'd drive himself crazy with hearing "Chad Morris this, Chad Morris that" every time another college football coaching position came open.
It's a valid subject; Morris, Clemson's offensive coordinator the past three years, has long been ordained the next hot name to lead a program - if only the right one comes along to pry Morris from his perch as the nation's highest-paid assistant at $1.3 million per year.
Of course, as Morris' boss, Swinney believes nobody knows more about Morris' status than him.
"There are still a few things that y'all don't know, believe it or not," Swinney said Saturday afternoon at his season-wrap press conference at the WestZone in Memorial Stadium.
"Things get thrown out there for people to write about, to talk about, to create conversation and all of that kind of stuff. It's not worth having conversations about it. If there's anything to talk about, y'all will know about it."
In total, either a published report or hefty social media speculation has linked Morris to six schools in the past five weeks: Arkansas State, Wake Forest, Louisville, Texas (head coach or offensive coordinator), Alabama (offensive coordinator) and Vanderbilt. All those positions have been filled, except for Charlie Strong's offensive coordinator at Texas and the head job at Vanderbilt.
James Franklin just left Vanderbilt for Penn State Saturday morning, and once again, Morris' name was firmly riding the coaching carousel.
"That's the world we live in. There's nothing we can do about any of that stuff," Swinney said. "Most of the stuff that's out there is so far-fetched, it's crazy.
"He's still here today."
For the final question of his 40-minute media session, Swinney was asked if he spends much time mulling over Clemson's five-game losing streak to South Carolina and his counterpart Steve Spurrier's perceived jabs at the Tigers.
"I don't spend any time thinking about South Carolina," Swinney said, plainly. "It is what it is. They've had a great run. They've earned it on the field. That's why they call it bragging rights. They've earned the bragging rights.
"If I could change it I would, but we've got to get it done on the field. That's really all that matters. None of that stuff matters. What matters is our football team and how we perform, how we prepare. We've got to win that game. It's just that simple. But that's really all there is to it."
Nobody was pleased with losing to Florida State or South Carolina - not fans, not players, not coaches.
But when those were the only two teams to beat Clemson in 2012, the Seminoles and Gamecocks ended up a combined 23-4 and each in the top 10.
In 2013, FSU and USC were even better: 25-2, and each in the top four.
"At the end of the day, you have to give your opponents some credit. We lost to two really great football teams," Swinney said.
"We lost to the No. 1 team in the country that was undefeated, and we lost to the No. 4 team. It's unfortunate that the No. 4 team was our in-state rival, and it's unfortunate that the team we lost to that won the national championship is our big ACC rival."
In defeating Auburn Monday, Florida State ended the SEC's eight-year run of claiming the national championship.
"Somebody had to break the streak. I think we (in the ACC) can all take pride in that," Swinney said. "Just like the SEC has always taken pride in whoever wins the national championship, it's great that this conference stepped up and got it done."
Swinney said he texted congratulations to FSU head coach Jimbo Fisher.
"We know very well the kind of team they have," Swinney said. "It's good to have the national championship back in this conference, and we want our turn. So we'll keep trying to get to the top of that mountain."
The 2014 season, for the Tigers, began shortly after their team charter touched down from Miami following the Orange Bowl.
That's especially true for the two guys fixing to replace quarterback Tajh Boyd.
"I see these guys working. I've seen Chad Kelly out on the field doing drills by himself. I had to go do a little video over in the indoor practice facility, and there's Cole Stoudt working by himself, doing drills," Swinney said. "Those are things that you like to see because you know you've got guys that really want to be the guy and that they are going to go above and beyond to give themselves a chance to win the job."
Stoudt and Kelly will be pushed by highly touted freshman passer Deshaun Watson, handpicked by Swinney and Morris to be Clemson's future face of the program.
"You throw in Deshaun Watson, who is as talented of a guy as we've ever signed here. It's exciting," Swinney said. "At the end of the day, we are going to have a guy ready to go when it comes time to play, but we've got a long way to go before we figure all of that out."
Swinney said wide receiver Charone Peake and linebacker Kellen Moore, who each tore their ACLs during the 2013 season, will return for spring practices in limited, non-contact roles.
Sophomore defensive tackles Carlos Watkins and Kevin Dodd have each been granted medical redshirts, giving each a total of three remaining years of eligibility. Dodd had a toe injury, and Watkins was a passenger in a car accident Sept. 21, recovering from bruises on his legs.

Evanston Ald. Steven Bernstein (4th) has compiled a "needs list" he will present to Northwestern University officials if and when both camps can decide on a meeting date to discuss how the campus can contribute to the city's bottom line.
"There's a lot of things this city could use if we had the available cash," said Bernstein, rattling off requests for a new recreation center, civic center, infrastructure repairs and tree-trimming services. "I think we can find some way the university can make a meaningful contribution to Evanston."

qLiterature and the Relational Self is a tribute to the rich complexity of human natureaas poets, novelists, and relational models of contemporary psychoanalysis mutually attest.q aPsychoanalytic Psychologist While psychoanalytic relational perspectives have had a major impact on the clinical world, their value for the field of literary study has yet to be fully recognized. This important book offers a broad overview of relational concepts and theories, and it examines their implications for understanding literary and aesthetic experience as it reviews feminist applications of relational-model theories, and considers D. W. Winnicott's influential ideas about creativity and symbolic play. The eight incisive essays in this volume apply these concepts to a close reading of various nineteenth and twentieth-century literary texts: an essay on Wordsworth, for instance, explores the poet's writing on the imagination in light of Winnicott's ideas about transitional phenomena, while an essay on Woolf and Lawrence compares identity issues in their work from the perspective of feminist object relations theories. The cultural influences that have led to the development of the relational paradigm in the sciences at this particular historical moment have also affected contemporary art and literature. Essays on John Updike, Toni Morrison, Ann Beattie, and Alice Hoffman examine self-other relational dynamics in their texts that reflect larger cultural patterns characteristic of our time. The author reviews feminist applications of relational-model theories and applies these models to works by William Wordsworth, Virginia Woolf, John Updike, Toni Morrison, and others.I would especially like to thank Lynne Layton, who read and offered many helpful comments on the introduction and on several of the essays. Her critical insights and her friendship have been invaluable to me. I would also like to thank myanbsp;...

The Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Saliu Akanmu Adetunji, the Aje Ogungunniso I, has alerted the police high command of alleged planned attacks on Ibadan by some residents. Oba Adetunji on Thursday spoke at his Popoyemoja, Ibadan palace while hosting Deputy Inspector-General of Police (DIG) Foluso Adebanjo.
He said Ibadan had been tensed over the situation on Oloode village in Oluyole Local Government Area, where Lukman Alao was deposed as Baale and replaced on January 9 with Dauda Odeyemi Ejo. Recall that Alao had dragged the Olubadan to court over the matter. Olubadan lamented that Alao had allegedly become a law unto himself.
Oba Adetunji said: "Part of his mode of operation is continuous use of number plate of Baale Oloode long after his removal from office. "His co-traveller is the Onido of Ido, Chief Tajudeen Akinola Agura, who, although is not molesting anybody but is using the number plate of Onido of Ido. "If a chief is removed in accordance with our tradition for allegations of a wrongdoing, he could either take it or go to the law court in search of justice. "We believe in the rule of law. This is why we have not joined issues with the deposed Baale.
"But as the prescribed authority over all the 11 local government areas in Ibadan land, I will not fold my arms and allow anybody to use the machinery to molest my people." The Olubadan, however, hailed the police for their professionalism in maintaining law and order and ensuring peace and security. Oba Adetunji prayed for the success of the new DIG and his men, including the AIG Zone XI, Oyo State police commissioner and others. Adebanjo said the Olubadan's request would be promptly examined.
He said officers and men of the force would continue to collaborate with traditional institutions to ensure law and order.

qThis report provides a clear and up-to-date guide for harnessing the huge resource recovery potential of organic waste in the region, and is a practical reference for any policy maker or practitioner working to improve the livability of cities.q a Dr. Masaru Tanaka, President, Society of Solid Waste Management Experts in Asia and Pacific Islands The massive scale of urbanization in South Asia is expected to create a surge in demand for solid waste services. An enormous opportunity exists to improve upon the abusiness-as-usuala approach of uncollected waste and open dumping witnessed throughout the region and to convert this waste into value-added resources, such as alternative fuels and agricultural fertilizers. As approximately 70% of the regionas municipal waste stream is currently organic (biodegradable) waste, methods such as composting, anaerobic digestion, and conversion to refuse-derived fuels offer a more sustainable course of action. This report aims to align South Asian cities with ADBas Strategy 2020 for environmentally sustainable growth and livable cities. It provides a useful management resource, identifying key issues and pointing policy makers, city managers, and practitioners to improved waste treatment technologies.... anaerobic digestion, and RDF projects; and (iii) the preparation and distribution of guidelines on PPP related to the organic waste sector.

Riccardo Montolivo scored against his former teammates, but 10-man Fiorentina fought back from 2-0 down to hold Milan in a Florence thriller. Nenad Tomovic saw red for a dubious elbow, while the Tuscans received two penalties and lost Stevan Jovetic.
It was fourth against third in Florence, as Jovetic completed a remarkable recovery from a thigh problem to start with Borja Valero returning from suspension. Massimo Ambrosini missed out for the visitors, so Riccardo Montolivo was captain as he received a hostile reception from his old fans. Kevin-Prince Boateng completed the trident with a new bleach blond hairstyle.
The Rossoneri were unbeaten at the Stadio Franchi since November 2005, picking up four wins and two draws here.
Boateng's early volley was in the back of the net, but play had been halted for Mario Balotelli's offside position in the build-up. Manuel Pasqual crucially blocked off Mathieu Flamini when he was running clear on goal through the middle.
Montolivo was jeered loudly every time he touched the ball, but it did not stop him scoring against his former teammates. He robbed David Pizarro in the final third and kept his cool to side-foot it past Emiliano Viviano into the near bottom corner.
Pizarro lost the ball again on the edge of the Milan box to spark a counter-attack, Balotelli blasted a free kick over from distance and Viviano smothered a Sulley Muntari snapshot.
Manuel Pasqual's curling free kick flashed inches past the near post, but Fiorentina lost Stefan Savic to injury.
Milan went very close again, as a free kick was whipped in for Stephan El Shaarawy's bullet header, beaten away by Viviano. Fiorentina immediately went on the counter and Montolivo took a yellow card for the team by hauling back Adem Ljajic.
Christian Abbiati was also called into action with a desperate and unorthodox save on Jovetic's screamer, as it bounced right in front of him and he parried with his knee.
Jovetic just failed to get on the end of a Pasqual pass that was rolled across the face of goal from the left flank.
There was huge controversy before the break when Nenad Tomovic was sent off for an elbow on El Shaarawy. The replays suggest there was certainly contact, but only as part of a natural movement when running alongside the Milan striker. Fiorentina were furious and protested vehemently, but the referee flashed the red card.
The Viola did not give in, as a Jovetic shot was charged down and the Pasqual follow-up held by Abbiati. Jovetic recovered in record time from a thigh injury, but aggravated it and limped off in first half stoppages to make way for Romulo.
A free kick almost found Alberto Aquilani in the box, but he fell under pressure from Boateng and protested.
After the restart Viviano parried a Flamini angled drive after good work from Montolivo. Milan doubled their lead from a dead ball situation. The free kick was worked down the right where El Shaarawy flashed a ball across the face of goal for Flamini to flick in from six yards.
Ljajic gave Fiorentina hope, as he went on an extraordinary slalom dribbling through a series of Milan players in the box before he was eventually pulled back by substitute Antonio Nocerino. The young Serb got back up to convert the penalty with a powerful finish through the middle.
Balotelli's free kick hit the side-netting, shaving a coat of paint off the base of the near post. However, SuperMario was booked for trying to delay a free kick in midfield and because of that will be suspended for next week's showdown with Napoli.
The referee pointed to the spot for the second time when Mattia De Sciglio mistimed his intervention to trip Juan Cuadrado. Pizarro stepped up this time and, although Abbiati got a hand to it, the power of the penalty took it into the far bottom corner as 10-man Fiorentina equalised.
The 10-man Viola completed their comeback from 2-0 down and continued to push, as Montolivo charged down a Cuadrado shot and Abbiati flapped at a corner. Milan also wanted a penalty after Ignazio Abate fell under a Pasqual shove, but the referee waved play on. There was further controversy in stoppages when Facundo Roncaglia handled in the box, but the referee judged it to be involuntary on Giampaolo Pazzini's glancing header.

This might come as a shock to the millions of ghost enthusiasts out there: The scientific consensus is that ghosts are NOT spirits, remnants of the dead, recordings of energy, or supernatural entities. Our existing knowledge about nature does not point to a conclusion that ghosts are a single definable thing, paranormal or normal, that you can find, observe, measure, or study. Yet, there are about 200 guides to "ghost hunting" in print or e-book form that lay out ways to obtain evidence of or make contact with ghosts. Therefore, we have a conundrum at step one of any attempt at ghost hunting – we can't define what a ghost is, and we do not know its properties because we've never determined that they exist and measured them. No ghost handbook has ever led anyone to catch and identify ghosts, they can only lead you to interpret something as a ghost.
In that sense, all ghost hunting books are worthless. So why bother with them?
First, it's an interesting cultural phenomena. Actively investigating reports of ghosts and paranormal activity is mainstream and a popular hobby and tourism draw. In 2010, there were over 1000 paranormal investigation groups in the US, the majority of which researched hauntings. (Hill, 2010) It's not worthless to examine why people spend their time and money on this hobby and how they go about doing it.
Second, the idea of paranormal investigation contains important aspects of society's attitudes towards finding out about the world, decided what is meaningful and true, using science to examine questions, cooperation and trust in a community, and taking part in a larger effort beyond one's own small role in life.
I'm deeply interested in the second point. I've found that examining amateur paranormal group behaviors and output highlights concepts about science education and public discourse about belief and reality. This piece mentions 11 books on ghost hunting that I have examined. They have broad similarities and distinct differences. In the main portion, I review 4 books on the basis of the following:
1. Readability (language, errors, quality of writing)
2. Credibility (sources, supported arguments vs speculation, factual correctness)
3. Overall value as a cultural product (Buy it or not?)

Last week was a box office nail biter that went down to the wire. In the end, "Chronicle" prevailed over "Woman In Black," and Sensei extended his streak to 12 straight weeks. Phew! Other prediction sites? Not so lucky.
This week, even the great George Lucas has his hands full with a Valentine's Day timed release. This weekend's predictions and revenue results go as follows:
1. The Vow ($37 Million) – There are forces at work that can even beat "Star Wars" sometimes. A romantic drama on the weekend before Valentine's Day will be one of those. The timing on this film really couldn't be better.
[youtube 8swF2-R6X9A nolink]
2. Safe House ($32 Million) – Denzel Washington is also such a force at the box office. Big Hollywood's own John Nolte had some great comments on this in one of his Daily Call Sheets this week. This will be yet another action film of Mr. Washington's to beat projections. Liam Neeson showed how reliable this audience is right now with "The Grey"'s success. Look for even better results here.
[youtube oWzTOoOpFa8 nolink]
3. Star Wars: Episode One – The Phantom Menace 3D ($22 Million) – "Star Wars" audiences are loyal, but this particular franchise entry was a great disappointment to general audiences in 1999 (three words: Jar Jar Binks). On the bright side, it will open higher than 2008's animated "The Clone Wars," the franchise's current lowest opener.
[youtube gC6w15OwK08 nolink]
4. Journey 2: The Mysterious Island ($19 Million) – The Rock takes over for Brendan Fraser, which in itself isn't bad. The problem is the first one opened when 3-D had a lot more appeal with audiences. That's not the case today, and this one will finish far behind its predecessor's overall gross ($101 million domestic).
[youtube EFW_UVu8sVQ nolink]
5. Chronicle ($10 Million) – The "found footage" films usually post significant drops on their second weekend. This one won't be immune.

Does Sensei have it right, or will others prevail?

WASHINGTON — The Securities and Exchange Commission Monday proposed a lengthy new rule to establish a permanent registration system for municipal advisory firms as well as individual advisers that would replace a temporary system for firms the SEC put in place in September.
The agency is soliciting comments on the 315-page proposal for 45 days after its publication in the Federal Register, which is expected in the coming days.
The SEC estimates that the proposed registration system would initially apply to around 1,000 municipal advisory firms, including sole proprietors. The estimate is based partly on the number of municipal advisers that have registered with the commission under rule under the temporary system. As of October 2010, there were abouot 800 unique electronic registrations under that system.
The SEC also estimates as many as 21,800 individuals would have to register as advisers.
Currently only muni adviser firms and sole proprietors must register with the SEC and the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board, which operates a separate registration system.
In addition to providing the first guidance from the SEC on the ambiguities of the statutory definitions of the law and who should register as an adviser, municipal advisers would have to submit more detailed information about their advisory work and certify they have met or will meet the qualifications and regulatory obligations required of them.
The proposed rule also includes new books and records requirements that will provide the basis for commission inspections and includes 14 pages of questions for commentators on the definitions in the rule.
As with the "final interim temporary rule" the board proposed in September — which will remain in effect through at least the end of 2011 — Monday's proposed rule stems from provisions in the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act requiring that muni advisers be subject to SEC registration and MSRB oversight.
Under Dodd-Frank, the registration requirements apply to all municipal advisers who provide "advice" to "municipal entities" and other borrowers involved in the issuance of municipal securities. The advice may be related to derivatives, guaranteed investment contracts, "investment strategies," or the issuance of municipal securities. It also applies to advisers who solicit business from a state or local government for a third party.
The definition generally does not include: a dealer serving as an underwriter; a registered investment adviser registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 or associated persons; commodity trading advisers registered under the Commodity Exchange Act or persons associated with them who provide advice related to swaps; attorneys offering legal advice or providing "traditional" services; or engineers providing advice.
In a section interpreting the definitions set forth by Dodd-Frank, the SEC said that investment strategies includes, "without limitation, the investment of the proceeds of municipal securities," such as "plans, programs, or pools of assets that invest funds held by or on behalf of a municipal entity, and therefore, any person that provides advice with respect to such funds must register as a municipal adviser" unless it is covered by an exclusion.
In defining investment strategies in this manner, the SEC appears to be aggressively trying to include all pension fund advisers, two market participants said.
Meanwhile, the SEC appeared to adopt very limited exceptions for lawyers and accountants that assist municipal entities. However, it said it would exclude from the definition of muni adviser accountants preparing financial statements, auditing financial statements, or issuing letters for underwriters for or on behalf of a municipal entity or obligated person.
On attorney advice to municipal entities, the SEC said: "Advice which is primarily financial in nature, such as advice concerning the financial feasibility of a project or financing, advice estimating or comparing the relative cost to maturity of an issuance depending on various interest-rate assumptions or advice recommending a particular structure as being financially advantageous under prevailing market conditions, would be primarily financial advice and not services of a traditional legal nature." As a result, lawyers providing such advice would have to be registered as muni advisers.
Though some firms have been hired to assist troubled municipalities for free, the SEC said it would not distinguish between whether an adviser is paid or not in requiring it to register.
"Congress did not distinguish between those municipal advisers who are compensated for providing advice and those who are not compensated for providing advice," the SEC said in the rule. "Thus, consistent with Congress' definition of the term 'municipal adviser,' the commission does not believe the issue of whether a municipal adviser is compensated for providing municipal advice should factor into the determination of whether the municipal adviser must register with the commission."
Under the books and records requirements, advisory firms would have to make and keep current originals or copies of all communications received, and originals or copies of all communications sent, including inter-office memorandums and communications relating to municipal advisory activities, "regardless of the format of the communications."
Advisory firms also would have to keep all check books, bank statements, cancelled checks and cash reconciliations; a copy of each version of the municipal adviser's policies and procedures, if any, in effect at any time within the last five years; and a copy of any document created by the adviser that was material to making a recommendation to a municipal advisory client or that memorializes the basis for that recommendation.
Firms also would be required to keep copies of all written agreements entered into by the municipal adviser with any municipal entity, employee of such an entity or an obligated person or otherwise relating to the business of the adviser.
They would also be required to keep a record of the names of persons who are, or have been in the past five years, associated persons of the municipal adviser and other information such as their names, titles and addresses and the municipal entities or obligated persons with whom the adviser has engaged in advisory activities in the past five years.

This article describes known issues, limitations and possible workarounds for Cloud Infrastructure module in POA 5.3 (PACI Phase 1).
Creating servers on not-ready-to-provide nodes
Servers can be created on nodes even if these nodes are configured as "Ready to provide:no". Workaround: Use Active property instead of ready to provide in Hardware Node > Cloud tab.
eth0 as the public Ethernet interface
The public network card on a PSBM node must have the name of eth0.
Displaying used IP addresses in IP pools
Parallels Operations Automation does not show the number of IP addresses in IP pools that are already allocated to Cloud Infrastructure servers.
Requirements to nodes for migrating servers
The source and destination nodes must meet a number of requirements to successfully migrate servers between them. For detailed information on these requirements, see POA Provider's Guide > Cloud Infrastructure Hosting > Managing Servers > Migrating Servers.
Configuring template parameters
You cannot configure the parameters of operating system (OS) and application templates registered in Parallels Operations Automation. Issue is fixed in PACI update 1 included into POA 5.3.1.
Deleting OS templates This behavior is correct due to PVC templates design: it is impossible to delete an OS template from a node if at least one application template for this OS template is installed on the node. Remove all application templates for an OS template first, and then delete the OS template itself.
Failure to register an OS template on a node
It is impossible to register an OS template on a node that already has the same OS template installed and cached. To work around this issue, remove the cache from the node using the vzpkg remove cache command before registering the template. Issue is fixed in PACI update 2 included into POA 5.3.2.
Incorrect currency in Parallels Operations Automation
Even if the default currency in Parallels Business Automation is set to another currency than USD, Parallels Operation Automation continues using prices in USD. To work around this problem, go to Top > System Director > Configuration Manager > System Properties, click the Edit button, and change the value of the PACI default currency field to the necessary currency.
Updating licenses on PSBM nodes
Parallels Operations Automation does not recognize whether the license was updated on a PSBM node. To work around this problem, configure some settings of the node (Top > Service Director > Cloud Infrastructure Manager > Hardware Nodes > Node_Name > Cloud > Configure) and save the changes.
Creating images in disabled subscriptions
Customers can create server images using RESTful API even if their subscriptions in Parallels Business Automation are disabled. The fix is scheduled to PACI update 4.
Backup settings in images
The backup settings set for servers are not saved in images.
Backing up servers
Parallels Operations Automation does not try to back up a server again if the first backup attempt fails. Issue is fixed in PACI update 2 included into POA 5.3.2.
Backup settings in cloned servers
The settings of a backup schedule are not saved for cloned servers.
Cloning servers between subscriptions
The POA Control Panel does not support cloning servers between subscriptions.
Refreshing server statuses
Server statuses are not refreshed automatically. To view the new status of a sever, you need to refresh it manually.
Using IPv6 addresses
Cloud Infrastructure tries to enable IPv6 addresses in servers that run operating systems with no IPv6 support. This may cause a situation when no network settings are applied to such servers.
Enabling VLAN0 access to external networks
Virtual private networks (VLAN0's) do not provide access to external networks for servers included in these networks. To allow servers to access external networks, assign public IP addresses to these servers. Issue is fixed in PACI update 1 included into POA 5.3.1.
Public IP addresses for servers
A server purchased via an online store may have one public IP address only.
Server discounts
When a customer creates a server in the POA Control Panel, the estimated price shown for the server does not include any discounts available to the customer in Parallels Business Automation.
United costs for server resources
Parallels Business Automation shows costs for using resources for a subscription rather than displaying costs for resource usage of inaidual servers. Issue is fixed in PACI update 3 included into POA 5.3.3.
Uninstalling applications from servers
You cannot remove installed applications from servers.
Server restart during creation
During their creation, servers are started and immediately stopped to set the administrative password. Customers are not charged for these actions.
Failure to allocate the entire CPU power to servers
Sometimes, a Container cannot be allocated the CPU power defined by its CPU limit even if the Container requires all allowed CPU power and the CPUs on the node are not fully used.
Failure to view domains used for servers
It is currently impossible to view the domains set for servers. Issue is fixed in PACI update 3 included into POA 5.3.3.
Failure to delete IP addresses from domains
If a customer assigns an IP address to a server during its creation and registers the server in a domain, the DNS record for this IP address is not deleted after the customer removes this IP address from the server. Issue is fixed in PACI update 1 included into POA 5.3.1.
Closing ports on load balancers
By default, all ports on a newly created load balancer are open. You are highly recommended to manually close all ports except for 80 and 443. You may also wish to open some custom port to access the load balancer via SSH and configure SSH to listen on this port.
Visual inaccuracies in the POA Control Panel
The values of sliders in the POA Control Panel may not change when you switch from one predefined configuration to another. The changes, however, are applied to servers when you save their configuration.
Administrative account in virtual machine templates
When registering a new OS template in Parallels Operations Automation, make sure that you enter the correct administrative credentials (e.g., root for a Linux server or Administrator for the English version of a Windows server) for accessing the servers that will be based on this OS template.
Purchasing servers in online stores
A customer may select the I will manage the OS kernel option in an online store even if no virtual machine template for the operating system selected by the customer is set up in Parallels Operations Automation.

This was taken under Port Melbourne pier. I didn't know which way this one would go, but this is how it ended up. A radial blur filter made me think of an escape tunnel and the urgent need to get away from something very evil that was holding us captive. The final dash for freedom.. if we make it is entirely up to you :)

Lead Pastor Chris Heckaman
Lead Pastor Chris Heckaman, a Piqua native, is an ordained Elder within the United Methodist Church and holds a Doctorate of Ministry. Pastor Chris was identified as the successor to then Lead Pastor Rev. Mike Slaughter in 2016, first joining the Ginghamsburg pastoral staff as Executive Pastor of Ministries and Chief of Staff for a one-year transition period. Pastor Chris then stepped into the lead pastor role in late June 2017. Previously Pastor Chris served as Senior Pastor at Trinity United Methodist Church, Columbus, and Sidney First United Methodist Church in Sidney. He also previously held the role of Miami Valley District Superintendent, West Ohio Conference of the United Methodist Church, where he supervised 145 local congregations and over 170 appointed pastors in the Miami Valley District.
"In my years of journeying with Jesus, I've learned that when God's perfect timing arrives - it really arrives," shares Pastor Chris. "Years of hope, expectation and prayer are answered seemingly in a heartbeat. This incredible God opportunity to be the future lead pastor of Ginghamsburg Church and part of the Ginghamsburg movement is a perfect example."
"Through our 22 years of ministry, my wife Lisa and I have taken this New Testament vision of what church is 'most to be about' that Ginghamsburg models with us wherever we have served," shares Pastor Chris. "Now we are excited to actually be able to come 'home' to Ginghamsburg and join with you fully in reaching the world God loves."
Pastor Chris and his wife Lisa have three children - son Seth is married to Nicole; daughter Katelyn is married to Jacob; and daughter Rachel. Katelyn and Jacob have blessed Chris and Lisa with two granddaughters Gracelynn and Kember. Rounding out the Heckaman family are dogs Stella and Bentley.
