|A short history of the Presbyterian Church (USA) on abortion: Part II
The fall 1999 issue of our newsletter gave a short history of the Presbyterian Church on abortion. The history begins before the Reformation because the church maintained its teaching against abortion from its beginnings. Reformers who divided from Rome on matters of theology and ecclesiology, nonetheless continued the church's teachings on moral issues including abortion. Both Luther and Calvin wrote explicitly in opposition to abortion. And the Christian Church was united on this issue until the second half of the twentieth century.
A lack of theological integrity in the reversal of the church's stand on abortion
In spite of its title, the new policy could not stand up to theological challenge. It built its defense of abortion on changing the meaning of words like covenant and stewardship responsibility. At a time when abortions were rising to 1.6 million each year, the document said,
The decision to terminate a pregnancy may be an affirmation of ones covenant responsibility to accept the limits of human resources. Because we understand the morality of abortion to be a question of stewardship of life, the responsible decision to choose abortion may arise from analysis of the projected resources for care-giving in a specific situation.
And it misrepresented John Calvin, who had spoken explicitly against abortion, as a supporter of abortion:
There is a tendency to feel that it is more virtuous to continue a pregnancy without considering the possibility of abortion. However, Calvin asserts, we cannot reduce stewardship to a kind of wonder or awe in the face of the natural world.
The Church's concern for human life was transformed into concern for "reproductive choice"
As a result of the 1983 policy, the formation of the newly merged denomination excluded any voice representing the historical position of the church. The Women's Ministry Unit, the Social Justice and Peacemaking Unit, and the Washington Office published materials and advocated for abortion as a woman's right and responsibility. The offices began to give financial support to an interfaith organization called The Religious Coalition for Abortion Rights (now The Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice), and to distribute that coalition's materials in the denomination. In 1989 a "Choice Network," which later became Presbyterians Affirming Reproductive Options (PARO), formed under the auspices of the Presbyterian Health, Education, and Welfare Association. PARO is also supported with denominational funds.
The G.A. calls for a new policy
Overtures poured into General Assemblies following the publication of the 1983 reversal of the church's stand. In 1988 the General Assembly called for a study process "to formulate a new policy statement for the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)...." The task force charged with the study delivered its report to the 1992 General Assembly where it was adopted.
The strong Christian presumption is that since all life is precious to God, we are to preserve and protect it....[A]fter human life has begun, it is to be cherished and protected as a precious gift of God.
The new policy also said,
The church ought to be able to maintain within its fellowship those who, on the basis of a study of Scripture and prayerful decision, come to diverse conclusions.
It directed that the alternative positions on abortion be expressed officially in the denomination. The 1992 policy has been ignored by denominational staff and entities charged to carry out G.A. policy.
Attitudes are changing
The 1992 policy made a distinction between the church's moral position on abortion and a public policy position. The moral section of the policy raises concerns about abortion--such as the high numbers, the reasons abortion is chosen, and the churchs responsibility to seek alternatives to abortion--that have no bearing on the public policy section which says flatly: "No law or administrative decision should limit access to abortion."

how big is your problem on the scale of one to God?
I'm wanting to make some art out of this free printable - life has had it's share of ups and downs this last week (hence the long gap and then multiple postings). I've just read a book that talks of having a "job jar" - putting ideas on slips of paper to pull out when needing inspiration or a start point. I think the word "job" is off putting psychologically so I think I'll call mine something like "lucky dip" which brings back associations of all those lovely, homely fairs I attended as a kid surrounded by the scents of popcorn and candyfloss! The next thing is to find or make a little box. Another idea would be to have a decorative envelope to put ideas into and then stick that into the back of my art journal. This idea prompted by the free printable will definitely go onto an inspiration slip.

|« Black Holes: Probes of the Cosmos and Fundamental Physics »
Frans Pretorius
The class of spacetimes with event horizons contain some of the most fascinating solutions to the equations of general relativity. Over the past few years, numerical simulations of the field equations have begun to reveal some of the more dynamical, strong-field solutions not amenable to exact analytical or perturbative treatments. In this talk, I will describe 3 such scenarios. First, the inspiral and merger of two black holes, which is thought to occur frequently in the universe. Such events are powerful emitters of gravitational waves, and a concerted world-wide effort is currently underway to observe the universe through gravitational waves.
Second, I will discuss the ultra-relativistic collision of two solitons. Arguments suggest that at sufficiently high velocities gravity dominates the interaction, causing a black hole to form. These arguments underlie claims that the Large Hadron Collider will produce black holes in speculative large extra dimension scenarios. Finally, I will show results elucidating the fate of a black string in 5 dimensions, subject to the Gregory-Laflamme instability. Rather remarkably, the event horizon exhibits dynamics akin to a low viscosity fluid stream suffering the Raleigh-Plateau "beading" instability. In the gravitational process arbitrarily large spacetime curvatures are revealed to an external observer, culminating in naked singularities. This is therefore a generic example of cosmic censorship violation in higher dimensional Einstein gravity.

Cancer and diet go together. Maybe diet doesn't directly cause cancer, but people who get cancer often battle it through diet changes.
My previous post was about cancer survivors, and I want to follow up with a post on using diet to reduce cancer patients' sufferings. My sources are two: my own mother's cancer experience and a doctor's and nutritionist's book called The Cancer Survival Cookbook: 200 quick and easy recipes with helpful eating hints.
Unfortunately, I did not have this book when my family was trying to feed nutritious foods to my mom in her final months. Otherwise, things would have gone much better.
My mom suffered several of the eating challenges that the book's authors address. Cancer took her appetite and left mouth sores in its place. In brutal cycles, she endured nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation. For sure, these are not happy, social topics.
But doctor and cancer survivor, Christina Marino, and her co-author, cancer nutritionist, Donna Weihofen at the University of Wisconsin Comprehensive Cancer Center, take up each of these cancer-treatment side effects and offer pages of advice on how to lessen them. Keep reading for some of their ideas.

DANI MUTSOTO is a communal farmer in the stony hills of Chikukwa, close to Zimbabwe's eastern border with Mozambique.
Farming on eight acres of communal, government-owned land, Mr. Mutsoto grows sufficient corn for his family, and in a good year has a surplus to sell. He also finds space to grow wheat, citrus fruit, coffee, and 4,000 gum trees, amid which he keeps 17 beehives.
The productivity of his plot results in part from a concerted government program to assist communal farmers with better farming methods and marketing and credit services. Yet such proud achievements mask the growing disgruntlement in the rural areas of this southern African nation. Thanks to the slow pace of a post-independence resettlement program, coupled with population growth of 3.2 percent a year, the fragile communal areas where the majority of Zimbabweans live are bursting at the seams.
One in 12 Zimbabweans is said to be a "squatter" living illegally on land owned by the country's 4,500 white commercial farmers. Their big farms occupy about half of Zimbabwe's best land and contribute 80 percent of the nation's agricultural production. Export crops, mostly from these farms, account for 40 percent of foreign-exchange earnings for the nation of 10 million.
Zimbabwe thus stands at a crossroads as it tries to balance its strength as a food exporter against political pressure to divide up land more equitably.
In March, the government passed a far-reaching Land Acquisition Act that may finally make good on President Robert Mugabe's longstanding promise to redistribute land to peasant farmers.
Two years ago, the government announced its intention to acquire about 13 million acres (or about half) of white-owned farmland for resettlement by the year 2000.
As chairman of the local coffee growers association, Mutsoto visited a 3,800-acre white commercial farm in the neighbouring Chipinge district. He left impressed but embittered at the small size of his own holding, which will pass on to three sons.
"Where communal farmers have shown that they are capable," he says, "they should be given a chance to expand."
Commercial farmers here achieve yields comparable to those in the industrialized world. Yet the growers privately concede that the land - much of which they inherited or obtained cheaply - is not optimally used.
In Chipinge, for example, a coffee farmer who asked not to be named said that prime commercial farmland that should be intensively cultivated is being used for ranching. He acknowledged that 30 to 40 percent of commercial land in the area is underutilized, a figure in keeping with national estimates.
The Land Acquisition Act does not target underutilized farms. Instead it allows the government to designate areas it wants to purchase, based on the rationale that it is cheaper to resettle peasant families in big blocs rather than piecemeal.
Moreover, the government will for the first time fix the price of the land and pay that price in local currency over a 10-year period. At the last minute, under pressure from human rights groups and Western donors, the government inserted a clause in the controversial act that permits disputes to be taken to court. But farmers will only be able to contest whether the correct procedure has been followed in determining the price they receive for their land, rather than the price itself.
Privately, white farmers are not as worried by the policies as one might assume.
"There is a certain amount of political posturing in all this," says a farmer in the northeast Bindura district, sipping a cup of tea in a palatial farmhouse that has been in the family for several generations.
The Constitution that ushered in Zimbabwe's independence from white settler rule in 1980 stipulated that, for at least 10 years, land could only be acquired on a "willing buyer, willing seller" basis, at market prices, and in foreign currency (enabling white farmers to emigrate).
Partly due to these restrictions, and partly because Britain and the United States reneged on verbal pledges to provide money for resettlement, Zimbabwe has acquired only about 8 million acres out of 23 million the government intended to purchase by 1990. This has provided new homes for 51,000 families, compared with a target of 165,000 families.
These land schemes involve carving up commercial farms into individual holdings of about 10 acres each. These small farms are not as efficient as the large scale-farms. But when provided with extension facilities and proper infrastructure, the program has improved the lot of peasant farmers.
Esther Kashiri and her husband are among 320 peasant families who have moved since independence to the Bumpa resettlement scheme in southeast Zimbabwe. Before, in crowded and stony communal lands, the couple produced 10 bags of surplus corn each season. Now when the rains are good they have 200 surplus bags. "For the first time we have money to spend," she says.
At the opposite extreme are Zimbabwe's numerous squatters - peasant farmers who moved onto white land either because their ancestors owned it before white settlers arrived in 1890, or because it was temporarily abandoned by white farmers at independence. The law says squatters must move, often back to communal lands.
Somewhere in between these extremes are the industrious communal farmers who - though usually less productive than their resettled counterparts - have shown enterprise and ingenuity.
In a good year communal farmers now grow half the country's marketed corn. This year a severe drought has caused Zimbabwe, which always used to have enough food to feed itself and even export to its neighbors, to seek food aid.
Adverse pricing policies have also hurt corn production. In an effort to keep food affordable to urban consumers during an austerity program encouraged by the World Bank, the price paid to farmers here slipped to about half the world market price.
Later the government boosted producer prices. But the damage was done. Commercial farmers reduced the area they devoted to food crops to one-third of previous levels.
Since the passage of the new Land Acquisition Act, the government has so far designated only 13 farms in the Mutare area for resettlement. These are for peasant farmers being moved to make way for a new dam. The time it is taking for the government to work out a compensation package has given some white farmers hope.
Nonetheless, numerous white farmers are reported to be contemplating moving to neighbouring Zambia, which is wooing agricultural investment after years of ignoring agriculture in favor of mining.

Forget the celebrities on "Dancing With the Stars," the real stars are the students of PS 207's Early Childhood Center.
The young students took to the dance floor to show off all they had learned throughout the year as part of their annaul Memory Day celebration on Wednesday, thrilling parents and teachers alike.
"It was a joyous celebration," said Teresa Kepertis, assistant principal of the school on Flatlands Avenue. "Students paired up and showed off some of the dances they learned, like the cha-cha, Greek step, and waltz. It was a really nice way to end the year."
But it wasn't just their skills on the dance floor that had everyone raving.
Music teacher Vella Cherkas, who has been teaching the pre-K through first grade center for the past 12 years, taught the kids various instruments, including the maracas and shakers.
"Parents were very, very happy," said Cherkas. "They were yelling, screaming, and smiling for their children. They were so excited to see them perform the Greek step, the other dances — and, of course, the instruments. Everyone had a really good time, and the kids really enjoyed themselves."
The students, who worked alongside their teachers during the year to prepare for the showcase, also had fun watching a slideshow of their events from the year — including Field Day, a performance of Winnie the Pooh, their Chinese New Year celebration, and gardening in the school's patch.

Binondo boom made more explosive with mall opening
Properties in Makati and BGC (Bonifacio Global City) may be the ones generating the most buzz per square inch of newspaper space, but over in Binondo there is also a silent boom in rent per square meter. Yes, it seems that our Chinatown, one of the oldest Chinatowns in the world, has rents in the same prime luxury level as Makati.
If I were to poll Binondo people as to what accounts for their rent premiums, their probable answer would be that Chinatown has character and culture. It may not be the cleanest or most orderly place, but Chinatown still has the edgiest ambience, the best food and the cheapest bargains that the Fil-Chi community has to offer.
Mall opening
This Binondo boom has gotten even more explosive with the opening of Lucky Chinatown Mall. Offering foreign and local retail brands, this shopping paradise has numerous food outlets, clean restrooms, and gives visitors a cultural tour of Old Chinatown.
Once parked inside Lucky Chinatown, one can walk to Binondo Church, then head back for shopping. You can also do wholesale shopping at the adjacent 999 Mall or 168 Mall, or at the CityPlace Square, which is connected to Lucky Chinatown by a footbridge.
For bargain hunters looking for unbelievably reasonable prices, a shopping haven awaits at all the endless little stalls inside Divisoria Mall, where quantity shopping is best. The challenge of balancing price and quality is the fun but tough part.
On historic Escolta, the gateway to Chinatown, there are a couple of furniture shops that display several styles of contemporary and classic pieces. Italian-inspired leather sectional sofas, glass-top dining tables with upholstered dining chairs, and streamlined, laminated headboards are just some of the interesting finds inside a couple of shops around that area.
Office furniture and study desks are also available at reasonable prices at the shops along T. Pinpin Street in Binondo. Century Woodmart has three large shops with furnishings for the home and office.
The best place to be
Another wonderful addition to the flavor of Chinatown is the new Ramada Manila Central (www.ramadamanilacentral. com). This hotel will be the best place to be in Binondo.
The Ramada Manila Central towers are at the corner of Quintin Paredes and Ongpin streets, right beside the beautiful and historic Binondo Church. It is Binondo's first four-star, international-standard hotel, with 114 well-appointed rooms as well as first-rate amenities: a Premiere Lounge, kid's play area, fitness center, and high-speed Internet access in all rooms and public areas.
For celebrations and gatherings, delicious dining and banquet spaces are available. These include the casual News Café, the breezy Luna Roof Deck and Multipurpose Hall, the quietly elegant Lobby Lounge, and the formal Plaza de la Barca Events Hall.
With its Zen-inspired interiors, modern features and warm, friendly staff, Ramada Manila Central truly captures the unique charm of Binondo—that perfect complement of history and novelty, culture and commerce. Steps off the entrance are myriad choices for authentic Chinese cuisine, from fried siopao and dumplings, to Peking duck and mooncakes, to hotpots and hopia.
Ramada Manila Central is managed by Hospitality International, a vibrant Filipino management company that is considered one of the foremost specialists in the operations of world-class lodging facilities, with over a dozen expertly managed properties in its roster. The group operates the Ramada Manila Central under a license agreement with the Wyndham Hotel Group International.
In the words of Karl Velhagen, Ramada Manila Central's GM and a veteran of the hotel industry, "At Ramada Manila Central, we make it easy for our guests to simply step out, work, explore all the best that Binondo has to offer… and leave the rest to us." I, for one, can hardly wait to check in.

Some policy questions are difficult. Here are a few easy ones: Should people who handle food for a living have to work while contagious? Should sick kids be stuck at school because their parents are stuck at work? Should coming down with something cost you your job?
Most Americans say: No, no and no. Politicians are catching up with them, but not fast enough.
As I noted last winter, 2011 was the biggest year yet for paid sick leave, a common sense reform requiring employers to provide a minimum number of sick days, so low-wage workers can stay home sick without losing their pay or their jobs. After years of savvy, tenacious organizing, last year Seattle joined San Francisco and DC to become the nation's third paid sick leave city, and Connecticut's became the nation's first statewide law (Milwaukee passed a bill in 2009 but Scott Walker has overridden it).
Paid sick leave is the kind of pro-family policy that we should be able to take for granted in a civilized democracy. By averting senseless firings, it reduces unemployment. By letting sick people stay home, it advances public health. In San Francisco, which in 2006 became the first city to mandate paid leave, even critics have changed their tune. In 2010, the executive director of the Golden Gate Restaurant Association, which had decried the bill as a job killer, told Bloomberg Businessweek that it had turned out to be "the best public policy for the least cost. Do you want your server coughing over your food?"
The research backs him up. Rather than lagging behind after passing its paid leave law, San Francisco outpaced surrounding five counties in job and business growth over the next three years.
And yet as advocates in other cities push for their own paid sick laws, the cry wolf anti-regulation crowd is going to bat to defend the status quo. What they lack in evidence, they try to make up for with corporate cash. This year's marquee showdown is in New York City, where a veto-proof majority of the City Council backs paid sick leave. Democratic Council Speaker Christine Quinn prevented a previous bill from coming to a vote in 2010, and the big business lobby is counting on her to do it again.
Quinn is favored to become the first woman mayor of the nation's largest city in next year's election. This month, she's hearing from women who expect her to do the right thing first. Last week, the New York Times reported on a letter to Quinn headlined by Gloria Steinem, the feminist giant. "I've seen women lose their jobs, lose their apartments, and spend two years getting their kids back from foster care—all starting with a sick child," Steinem told the Times. The letter was signed by 200 other prominent women, from American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten to novelist Jhumpa Lahiri.

'Snakes on a Plane' in Real Life: Pilot Forced to Make Emergency Landing After Snake Invades Cockpit
Something like this was inevitable, really, because nothing surprises us these days when it comes to the shenanigans that take place onboard an airplane. Just like (okay, kinda like) in the 2006 movie Snakes on a Plane, the lone pilot of an aircraft in Australia found himself in a bit of a predicament recently when he discovered a snake in his cockpit shortly after taking off. Luckily he was the only one on the plane at the time, and he was eventually able to land the plane safely without causing harm to himself or the snake.
According to the news report, things were at there hairiest when the snake slithered across the pilot's legs as he was landing the plane (cue: you getting a chill up your spine), though the guy managed to keep calm and still, and the snake did not react. Unfortunately, his call to air traffic control did not include the phrase "Someone get this motherf**king snake off this motherf**king plane," but at least the dude turned out okay in the end.

Kristy Bernales, a web designer for Web Design Xperts in Melbourne, Australia, guest blogs today, giving us some practical advice on how to get the perfect marketing tools for your nonprofit. Kristy's advice will help you get going with email marketing and social media.
Being a non-profit organization, offering unparalleled services, promoting a cause and making improvements in your community takes a lot of hard efforts. Like the majority of the non-profiteers, you're possibly doing all of this with the limited number of people and a restricted budget limit. Fortunately, the access of email and social media marketing has made spreading a word about your organization easy and less time-consuming.
Some marketers often say that "Email marketing and social media marketing are the most easiest and inexpensive ways to achieve business goals." These tools can help you draw the most required attention for your non-profit firm. And the flow goes on – more attention -> more donations -> more volunteers and more supporters.
You might be wondering about the benefits of these two inexpensive marketing tools. Let's pick some of the benefits in the discussion:
1) Enough Returns on Investment: As already mentioned above, email and social media marketing are the most effective yet affordable solutions that seem quite attractive to the non-profit organizations who work with donations and a tight budget limit.
All you need to do is the time commitment for the marketing efforts through email and social media. The only element that can cost you few bucks is the social advertising. Apart from this, there'll be no other costs payable.
2) Boosted Awareness among People: It's not actually very easy to make people know what your next initiative is or next move is, but emails and social media can be of great help to you. If you will devote your time and efforts to grow your email list and followers on social media, you can easily reach your audience in actual time. Awareness is the one of the major ingredients for a delicious marketing dish, and social media and email marketing are great tastemakers to add from the comfort of your own vicinity.
3) Improved Involvement: After reaching to a certain height, every non-profit organization requires a helping hand. With the help of email and social media marketing efforts, your organization can directly engage with people who actually want to help. Whether you want to call volunteers or seek donations, you can travel a long distance for increasing audience engagement with your organization through an email and a tweet.
4) Stand Affront Supporters Firmly: Be circulating emails and becoming socially active, you can create an impression on your supporters. You're vying for support, so it's quite imperative to make your organization's name and mission revealed to the larger audience. By maintaining continuity in the communication, you're likely to see more supporter participation in a year.
5) Save Ample of Time: Your time is the most precious asset. This is the reason you should use VerticalResponse, it will make things easier for you like developing emails and social media posts for your account. You can simply start off with an email creation and share the same on your social media accounts. Additionally, you can connect your social media accounts with every email that you shoot through Vertical Response.
Therefore, combine the social media and email marketing tools to get the plenty of mileage through your efforts. Both email and social media have become a major part of modern life hence, it is truly sensible to use them for the purpose of marketing.
Why waiting? Make your non-profit organization more popular among the people who can actually turn out to be helpers with the most reliable yet inexpensive tools of marketing.

Photography: College or University?
Recently, I was talking to a friend's daughter who wants to take Photography in the university. I was amazed how she knew about history and art besides she had some excellent pictures to show.

For nearly 30 years, Randy Kesterson enjoyed many turns in his nursing career. "I've had a lot of great opportunities," says Randy, an Ohio native who joined the U.S. Air Force after high school. After working as a medic in labor and delivery and a Licensed Practical Nurse, Randy became a Registered Nurse in 1992 and worked as a travel nurse in the intensive care and critical care units. Eventually, he settled in Tucson, Arizona, working in organ recovery services, helping open an ICU for a new hospital and more. Despite his successes, however, not having the BSN held Randy back. "I could never get the promotion I wanted," he says. "I was secure in my job, but I was stuck where I was. I wanted to change that."
The pursuit of a BSN
In 2011, then a staff nurse in the ICU of Southern Arizona Veterans Affairs (VA) Healthcare System, Randy decided to take the plunge and go back to school. He enrolled in an online BSN program, but was disappointed with the experience. "I felt completely on my own," he says. "The support from instructors and advisors just wasn't there." Not ready to give up on his goal, Randy decided to retrench. He did more research on recommended BSN programs and came across American Sentinel University.
A perfect fit from the very first phone call
Immediately, Randy found American Sentinel to be what he was looking for. "I hung up the phone after my first conversation with an admissions counselor and thought, 'This is where I belong,'" he says. He began the BSN in 2013 and continued to feel encouraged. "One of the best parts of the experience was going to school with nurses from all over the world. It was like a constant conversation with colleagues from all different areas in nursing. My student success advisors, including Tami Layman, have been supportive and helpful. At American Sentinel, I have never felt alone."
Stars aligned
At the same time that he started the BSN, Randy changed jobs—an opportunity offered to him by Southern Arizona VA because he was enrolled in a BSN program. He worked the surgical care line in the post-anesthesia care unit, and after a year, had yet another chance to move up in the organization. Today, Randy works in outpatient care—specifically in preventative health and disease management. "I've never worked in a job where I get to see patients progress and get better," he says. "Now I get to coach patients and watch them improve. It's very satisfying."
Eye on the prize
Randy worked diligently toward his BSN while getting acclimated with his new job. With plenty of challenges to overcome—he is the primary caregiver for his blind older sister and his younger sister passed away unexpectedly in May 2015—it wasn't easy to get to the finish line. But in spring 2015, Randy received the BSN. "Determination got me through, along with support from family, coworkers, my boss, and American Sentinel."
At commencement in spirit
Due to the passing of his sister in May, Randy was unable to attend graduation in Denver in June. His advisors knew how hard he had worked, and decided to do something special for him. "One day, I opened the mail and Tami and Devon [Putnam] had mailed me my honor cords, nursing pin and diploma cover," he says. "For them to be that thoughtful was never something I expected. But American Sentinel has exceeded expectations."
With the BSN now complete, a spark has ignited within Randy to do more. "I now have this drive to pursue the MSN," he says. "My time at American Sentinel was such a good experience that it would be hard to consider doing that anywhere else!"
Inspired by Randy's story? A BSN is ideal for nurses who want to expand their knowledge base, become more marketable and enjoy greater career stability and mobility. Specialized knowledge forms the foundation of nursing and when you acquire new knowledge, you can apply it to nursing practice in ways that enhance patient care and improve outcomes.
American Sentinel University is an innovative, accredited provider of online nursing degrees, including an RN to BSN program and advanced degree programs that prepare nurses for a specialty in case management, infection control, and executive leadership.

Court rejects bid to reinstate Allen
EmptyA California Superior Court judge Tuesday rejected a request for a temporary restraining order filed by SAG national president Alan Rosenberg and several confederates because of errors in the petition.
Rosenberg is seeking to nullify an action taken by a national board majority last week that removed national executive director and chief negotiator Doug Allen from his post via written assent. Rosenberg and his co-petitioners plan to amend the complaint and refile it with the court as early as Thursday.
The complaint alleges that self-described moderates on SAG's national board "unilaterally co-opted the democratically elected leadership of SAG" and seeks to restore that leadership, including Allen. In addition, the Rosenberg faction wants to prevent Allen's replacements — interim NED David White and chief negotiator John McGuire — "from taking any actions on SAG's behalf."
As a practical matter, this extends indefinitely the seven-month stalemate between the actors and the movie and television producers with whom SAG is negotiating a new TV/theatrical contract because Rosenberg's legal action scotches any new negotiating sessions until the internal matter of who's actually in charge is resolved.
Rosenberg, first vp Anne-Marie Johnson and board members Kent McCord and Diane Ladd filed the complaint before Los Angeles Superior Court Judge James Chalfant.
SAG — in the strange position of defending itself against an action filed by its own president — released a statement Tuesday that said, "Attorneys for Screen Actors Guild specially appeared in Los Angeles Superior Court this morning in response to notice of an ex parte application for an injunction regarding the written assent of January 26, 2009.
"After hearing from attorneys for plaintiffs Alan Rosenberg, Anne-Marie Johnson, Diane Ladd, and Kent McCord, as well as SAG counsel," it said, "the court held that the notice and application for the injunction, as well as the underlying complaint, were procedurally defective and refused to issue the injunction at this time."
On Monday night, Rosenberg and Johnson delivered a notice of intent to seek a temporary restraining order, a preliminary injunction and a permanent injunction. That move scuttled Tuesday's scheduled round of talks with the AMPTP, which SAG was planning to resume with a new negotiating task force in place of the dissolved hardline-heavy negotiating committee under Allen.
How much traction Rosenberg and company's claims get is open to debate. Restraining orders typically aren't awarded to reverse an action but to prevent an action from taking place — and Allen already has been removed.
Rosenberg's complaint raises several constitutional issues having to do with the precise method of measuring the national board's majority and a question of which competing clauses have precedence in the matter of the written assent. One argument hinges on whether the national board in fact needed only a simple majority to pass its written assent or needed a two-thirds majority. The board's party factions are split nearly down the middle, with moderate forces holding a small majority.
Beyond the nuts and bolts of Tuesday's legal sparring, an industry that has been spinning its wheels for months because of the uncertainty of the dispute is left to wonder: Even if Rosenberg's faction wins an injunction that invalidates the written assent and reinstates Allen, what then? All parties are back to the impasse of 10 days ago, only with any remaining possibility of compromise battered into angry dust.
The guild has been working under an expired contract since July. TV production in Hollywood remains healthy, but film production has slowed, for factors that go beyond labor turmoil.
Still, if Rosenberg and his allies are successful in getting a restraining order, that could have a direct effect on film production. Credit markets are tight, and lenders might be even more reluctant to finance films the longer this impasse continues. The state of the economy — and the perceived indifference to that by Allen and his negotiating team — is one of the reasons moderates wanted that team removed.
Additionally, the SAG leadership struggle soon could wreak havoc on the guild's commercials contract negotiations, scheduled to begin Feb. 23. SAG and AFTRA recently agreed to negotiate their deal with the ad industry jointly.
Andrew Salomon of Back Stage reported from New York; Jay A. Fernandez reported from Los Angeles.

Discussion in 'Black Hat SEO Tools' started by wingman80, Apr 20, 2012.
what does camouflage url means?
Camouflage, is when you are link building on top of your 1st Tier backlinks like a link pyramid. When you are link building directly to your money site, this is not camouflage.
Hope it helps
Answer above is not correct.
Camo URL's are ones that keep your BMD accounts safe by posting "authority" bookmarks to them mixed in with your self servicing ones.
If you keep booking brand new URL's in a self serving manner you accounts at most of the high PR bookmarkinbg sites will get banned pretty quickly.
So prevent this you put some URL's or RSS feeds from established authority sites in the (Microsoft, CNN, ESPN, Universities...whatever)
THat way you posting on each account won't be so obviously self promotional and your account will be less likely to get banned.
This explanation is all on Edwinsofts BMD promo page here...
More or less halfway down the sales page it tells you about camoflage URL's. It's pretty basic stuff.
In Camouflage url you can post your multiple urls in social bookmarking sites
Separate names with a comma.

A super search for either word turns up many hits, but nothing I caught that hits the spot. I don't have access to my O'Reilly books at the moment, otherwise would look to the Llama or Ram first.

Tribe nixes vote on UND nickname
- Details
- Category: Social Issues & Criminal Justice
Fort Yates, North Dakota (AP) 8-09
A supporter of the University of North Dakotas Fighting Sioux nickname on the Standing Rock Sioux reservation says the Tribal Council has voted down a request to hold a referendum vote on support.
Nickname proponent Archie Fool Bear says the vote was 6-7 with two missing and one abstention. He says he doesnt think the vote was decisive.
Some believe UNDs nickname and Indian head logo are offensive. The school plans to retire them on Aug. 1, 2010, unless the Standing Rock and Spirit Lake Sioux tribes agree by Oct. 1 to give UND permission to use them for at least 30 years.
Fool Bear says he and others will gather more signatures to petition the council for a referendum.
The Standing Rock Tribal Council has not only opposed the nickname, it also voted to ban a referendum last year.

Initially, the company is giving advance to 12 producers on Pongal day. The amount, according to sources, will be given by the Chief Minister M Karunanidhi. The company also announced their unlimited support to the new comers to give more novel projects in their first efforts. It could also provide chances to many assistant directors to become directors.
At a press meet held a couple of days before in Chennai, the Company's chairman Natarajan dismissed the allegation of distributor association president Kalaipuli G Sekaran that the entry of corporate giants like Saimeera will destroy the small producers in Tamil Cinema.
Natarajan said, "We are not the corporate people without the knowledge of Tamil Cinema. As a producer, I have been produced more than 50 films before emerged as a corporate company Chairman. Last year we released 21 films. Out of these, 18 were small budget films. Sekaran's remarks are not suitable to Saimeera. He has mentioned those who entered in to the field without proper knowledge of Tamil cinema industry…"
However, Natarajan has not ready to explain the fund inflow and other financial sources of this company that has been questioned by many critics right from the launch of the company!

Chris Barraclough, creative director, Beta
Plays and sketches work well on radio – quick, humorous scenes followed by a more prosaic pay-off – and, although it's asking a lot to write an 18-second sketch that's witty, simple, relevant and memorable, they predominate in the selection this week. Does this mean jingles – and music – are dead, killed by the "sonic ident"? Shame, if so. Though, in the real world, people don't sit down and listen carefully, as I did. There is background noise, and ads work best when they are good to listen to.
The Scottish Government threatens drunk drivers with a criminal record lasting 20 years. They do this by counting to 20. Slowly. I've no doubt this will stand out among the noise of local radio and at least it sounds a bit different. Whether this is the best way to stop drivers drinking, I don't know. According to my old law professor, only the certainty of capture, not the threat of punishment, prevents crime.
Freeview's ad is a convoluted concept. The proposition is: you should get HD to experience what real embarrassment is like. Because when you are watching a film that has "an intimate scene", it will look even more real and even more embarrassing. I know I'm being dull and literal, but that's a reason not to get HD. Sorry, but I found this one clunky and rather hard work.
McDonald's follows the brand formula and is a sketch set in a hairdresser's. This part is nicely written and makes me smile, but I was focusing on the bloke, not the hairdresser, so didn't instantly connect to the idea, which is about the hairdresser wanting to get away for her McDonald's. At least there's the McDonald's sonic ident to enjoy. That bit is memorable.
The NSPCC is publicising the "underwear rule" – a simple way to talk to kids about a difficult subject that is based on an acronym: PANTS.
It's smart to lead in a light-hearted vein. However, is a short radio ad the right route for a concept as complex as this? The word PANTS may be easy to recall, but it takes the NSPCC nearly 500 words to explain the rule (with several caveats and clarifications) when I checked online. Which suggests more work could be done simplifying it before putting it on radio.
The Warburtons ad is another sketch followed by a prosaic pay-off. Is making your family more aggressive the angle to persuade mums to buy? I used to buy "half and half" bread for my kids because I believed it to be slightly better for them than white sliced. But I guess that's reality, so it's dull. Light-hearted threats win.
Finally, YouView's "channel hopping" provides a welcome change from the others simply because it's not another sketch followed by a pay-off. The channel-hopping audio is obvious, but it makes the point effectively. There are six seconds of small print at the end, which is a distraction, but at least there's some bloody music in it. Hurrah.
As I said, radio advertising works best when it's good to listen to.
Matt Batten, chief creative officer, Wunderman
Freeview's "another level" takes an awkward scenario we've all experienced (mine was aged 17 alongside my parents with that scene in the original Straw Dogs) and flips it into an anti-benefit – what happens when you push a benefit so far that it shoots out the other side but still seems to be a good thing, somehow.
Delivered by the expected caramel-smooth voiceover,the script is well-written and the creative strategy gives the right amount of punch to a service that, despite being free, has to compete against a paid-for service that is perceived as better.
The idea for the Scottish Government's drink-driving ad, "twenty", would have looked stronger on paper than it sounds in the final execution, I think. Not that it's a bad idea – making people bored but hanging on to see what it's all about to make a serious point. However, I can't help thinking it would have been stronger as a 45-second spot with Mr Scotland counting a bit slower to drag out the tiiiiiiiiiiime… and effect.
It couldn't have been easy writing the radio version of the totally visually based television commercial, but YouView's "channel hopping" is an admirable extension of the idea. But, unfortunately, when I listen to it back to back alongside the other ads – simulating how it would have aired in the cluttered and challenging one-dimensional medium of radio – it just doesn't stand out enough. Ironically, it feels hampered by the very audio mechanic that makes the script interesting in the first place.
I had to listen to the McDonald's "hairdresser" spot twice to find the idea. It's buried right in the middle for just a second between the scenario dialogue and the voiceover – she wants to break for lunch real quick (in case you missed it). And the dialogue, featuring an obvious attempt at creating character f'rough voice, overruns the script, so I missed what the product was in the end.
I'm not sure the gag is right for such a serious issue in the NSPCC's "conversation – father/son" ad. It might provide a little cut-through to jolt the listener into paying attention to the resolution voiceover, but this may be a case of "if you're going to have a joke at all, make it a doozy". Still, it's a nice idea, nice script, neatly delivered. Golf clap.
Although Warburtons' "tough kid 2" uses the textbook answering-machine technique to deliver a monologue that talks about the product features, it's well-written and superbly acted. This is one of a pair – an earlier ad features the kid leaving a message for Mr Warburton setting up his dad. I'm glad I was given both so I could understand the context of the dad's response. It's risky relying on an audience to have seen/heard one element of a campaign in order for another element to make any sense. But I hope it worked because the dad's ad is much funnier (in a Lee Mack kind of way). Applause.

Excellent printer and very good value. A minor problem with the scanner as did not realise the scanner driver is separate from the printer driver. The printer driver was downloaded fine from Apple OS but not the scanner driver. This had to be downloaded from the brother website seperately. Otherwise fine.

Jupiter said online advertising, including ads placed on PointCast and America Online, will still total more than $300 million for 1996, but it did not make a prediction for Web-only advertising except to say that percentage growth for the fourth quarter should be higher than for the third quarter. Assuming the same 43% growth, Web advertising could amount to $230 million for the full year.
Jupiter said the top Web publisher was again Netscape, which generated $8.2 million in revenue in the quarter, mainly from fees paid to it by the search engines for placement on the Netscape home page. After Netscape were, in order, Yahoo, InfoSeek, Excite, Lycos, CNET, WebCrawler, ZD Net, Magellan and ESPNET SportsZone.
The top Web advertiser for the quarter was Microsoft Corp., at $2.9 million. After that were AT&T Corp., Netscape, Excite, InfoSeek, IBM Corp., McKinley Group, Lycos, Yahoo and Nynex.
Among non-Web-related companies, Toyota Motor Sales USA, Procter & Gamble Co., Ford Motor Co. and General Motors Corp.'s Saturn all ranked in the top 25. Only Toyota and P&G ranked in the top 25 in the first half.
Jupiter says its estimates are based on rate cards and don't reflect discounts. It says its calculations are about 15% higher than actual ad revenue figures reported by publicly held companies and revenues reported in off-the-record interviews with other non-public companies.

The clothes may be small, but designers are betting on big business as they launch childrenswear brands.
On Thursday, Diane von Furstenbergbecame the latest designer to venture into children's fashion as her signature wrap dresses and prints hit the racks at Gap Kids and Baby Gap in miniature sizes.
Ranging from $20 to $120, the pieces went on sale at U.S. stores today and will be available internationally on March 28.
"Versace, Gucci, Oscar de la Renta — they're all coming out with their kids' brands these days and targeting the U.S. market because it is becoming a new trend here as well," said Gina Rizzo, co-founder of Petite Parade.
While Europe has traditionally been a popular market for luxury childrenswear, the U.S. is now following suit.
"I think there's a lot more focus on the children's market design-wise, especially in this country, which was not that prevalent before," said Carolina Zapf, who designs the Baby CZ brand. "I mean historically there's been always a lot from Europe, but out of this country there are wonderful companies that are doing great, innovative things and fun things."
Zapf was one of 27 designers who presented on Saturday and Sunday during New York Kids Fashion Week, which was presented by Petite Parade and Vogue Bambini.
First launched in September 2010, the showcase went on a brief hiatus as the organizers mulled over the best time to hold it. Its organizers eventually decided to present the show at the same time as the Playtime New Yorkchildrenswear trade show.
In her tenure as Vogue Bambini's editor-in-chief, Giuliana Parabiago said the children's fashion market has "completely changed."
"At the beginning, it was a very classic market," she said. "Every season — the same collection. Nothing changed — all the same outfits."
Since designers have begun to enter the market, collections are no longer merely last year's adult fashions in miniature form, Parabiago said. Now, kids' collections incorporate their own unique trends also.
"With color and fabrication and detail and design, you can do so much more," Rizzo said. "Kids love anything that is eye-catching and bold, so I think in that sense, there's more room to play so to speak with children's fashion."
Although the designer brands are focusing on innovation in their collections, at the retail level, consumers can expect to see classic colors, plaid, tweed and corduroy, wrote Lorna Hall, a senior retail analyst at WGSN, in an e-mail.
"At retail, most companies are still playing (it) safe with very commercial prints, colors, themes and silhouettes," Hall said. "The retailer bucking this trend is J.Crew with bright colorways, fashion-forward silhouettes and fabric developments for Crew Cuts."
Parents pay a premium for these fashion-forward designer collections. Prices at the show ranged from $30 for a T-shirt to $800 for a jacket, Rizzo said.
Parabiago mentioned that purchasing luxury childrenswear is often a "status symbol" for parents.
"They prefer to spend for the children than for themselves," she said. "Now, the top spenders pay a lot of attention to childrenswear."
In addition to the U.S. and Italy, luxury children's fashion is especially popular in Russia and China, she said. To cater to this trend, Vogue Bambini is written in both English and Italian and has launched apps in Chinese and Russian for parents in emerging markets.
"A lot of the time now, you see parents having kids at an older age so they're a little bit more further in their careers — a little bit more established — so they have money to spend," Rizzo said. "Maybe it's their only child because they're not planning to have another kid."
Although faltering consumer confidence and economic downturns can decrease adult retail sales, children's fashion is not usually not affected as much by adverse conditions, she added.
"Children's fashion — it's an interesting business because kids are constantly growing so they need clothes as opposed to parents who can say, 'You know what — I'm going to resurrect this. I'm going to bring this back next season and wear it again,'" Rizzo said. "But kids grow out of their clothes. They constantly need new clothes."

I recall him implying that he was at a captain's level and then later speaking to Urahara. Urahara stated something like "I'm glad you're back at full strength, I'd hate it if you blamed me if you were weaker" and then Isshin just says that he wouldn't blame Urahara if he lost strength, he'd just accept it. So I think he did have his full strength that night.
It's safe to say that his power level is that of a high tier captain. When Ichigo finds out that Shinji is a vizard, during the convo they both remarked that the reiatsu they were feeling was extremely high. And for someone as strong as Shinji to say that says a lot.
Shinji also didn't recognize the spiritual pressure. So Isshin may be before Shinji's time. Ichigo having the same last name would be recognizable in SS and it wasn't sooo with that info he could have been around before Yamamoto but then again that just doesn't seem right. Isshin hasn't aged that much, he'd have gray hair and be old looking. Idk, KT really just likes leaving people on cliff hangers or mentioning things and then never explaining them.
Random thought but how the hell does everyone know Urahara anyways? He escaped punishment and fled to the real world yet everyone knows his location. You'd think SS would have tried to capture him during all this time. Granted his punishment was that he'd be stripped of his power and sent to earth anyways, still you'd think before he was such a help as he is now, that they'd track him down.
Something no one has thought to mention is that Isshin may not have gone by the same name he is going by now....might be why no one recognize it.
Also Urahara may not have truly come on to SS radar until recently which is why SS never bothered him

Omni-Gen™ Master Data Management Edition
Omni-Gen provides organizations an option that will enable them to achieve their goals with lower risk, lower cost, and in less time. The benefits are huge: For example, typical MDM projects can go from 12-18 months to 3-6 months or less.
Master Data Management Edition is the culmination of our Omni-Gen Platform and includes everything in the Data Quality and Integration Editions, adding technology such as automated match/merge as needed for data mastering.
Watch our latest video and see how Omni-Gen can generate applications rapidly and economically.
Use Embedded Best Practices for Rapid Results
Omni-Gen is designed to facilitate efficient integration and mastering of data by tapping into businesspeople's knowledge of domains such as customer, location, supplier, and so on. An inquiry serves to kick off an agile process that continually refines the master record definitions they need. Omni-Gen users then map the models to sources and define required data quality, match/merge, and remediation rules. This process improves collaboration between businesspeople and developers, eliminating typical spreadsheet-based interactions during the design of models and cleansing rules.
Easily Identify Record-Data Origination and Audit
Develop golden records for key business entities by creating a single, accurate, web-accessible reference point for all common data elements – such as customers, products, or employees. Master Data Management Edition eliminates data integrity and data exchange challenges. Organizations can ensure that the critical business decisions they make are based on information that is always current, complete, and correct.
The Omni-Gen™ Master Data Management Edition is a unified platform for integrating, cleansing, and mastering information.
Optimize Information Integrity Throughout Its Lifecycle
Master Data Management Edition goes beyond MDM, with embedded components for data profiling, quality management, and data governance and remediation. The Omni Governance Console allows data stewards, data supervisors, and system administrators to link, unlink, and delete instance records that are associated with a particular golden record group.
Enhance Information From Any Source
Master Data Management Edition provides seamless integration and the ability to interact with existing systems and data structures, to enable the rapid consolidation of millions of records according to easily defined business rules. Unified and validated master data is instantly available to a wide range of enterprise applications, such as enterprise resource planning (ERP), customer relationship management (CRM), self-service portals, analytical tools, data warehouses, and other internal systems.
The Omni-Gen™ Master Data Management Edition includes the Integration Edition and the Data Quality Edition.
Improve ROI
The ability for business users to define golden records, and for implementers to generate large parts of the MDM process, enables a rapid, iterative approach to MDM that significantly reduces project timelines – cutting 18-month project plans to six or fewer – and dramatically increases ROI.
Find Out More
Whether installed on premises or in the cloud, Omni-Gen Master Data Management Edition can enhance productivity and operational performance by improving information accuracy and data exchange within and beyond your company.
