A washing of face costs between 4,000 and 6,000 euros
Bathrooms are not less graceful home stay
There are Windows that awaken the senses. Provided that Raquel is stopped in front of a reform and decoration shop feel desire to modernize its floor in Villaverde. You want to change the blue couch and complains that his room is too small. "I have no place to put a dining table. If pulled this bathroom… ", says with its surroundings.
But the economic situation is forcing to do fewer reforms and more washing face with tighter budgets, 4,000 to 6,000 euros. Although facilities deteriorate and sometimes there is no choice but that put the pick and the shovel. "The price per square meter in a comprehensive reform with optimum quality costs from 1,000 euros", according to the study of Interior design and architecture arQte2.
Reform of bathrooms and kitchens is the most frequent type along with painting. The renovation of the House don't usually check in 40 years and only the change of owner encourages plumbing, faucets or electricity reform", said Esther Estévez, Manager of the Association of wholesalers of sanitation, heating, plumbing, Gas, air conditioning and related (Amascal).
But the truth is that job instability and lack of funding pitch for land, or slow works. January and February have joined 3.916 visas for housing reform, which means a fall of 7.2% over the same period of last year, according to the Ministry of public works. And "the turnover of the companies has been reduced more than 50 %", says Pedro Oliver, director-general of the Union of reformists Associates (URA).
But if Raquel get funding you would be surprised of how materials and designs have changed in recent years.
Change bathrooms and kitchens and paint walls remain the main reforms
The houses have air pulling partitions and creating open and multi-functional spaces. This is a trend, says the firm Schmidt kitchens. Also anything look like what it is. "We try to kitchen and bathroom does not look to what they are. We integrate the kitchen in the living room, so the fans become lamps", they say in arQte2.
Authentic works of art can be found in the bathrooms. One of the latest collections of the signature rock is Barcelona, in collaboration with the architect Carlos Ferrater. The pieces are characterized by modularity, which allows to create different spaces. The white wall double washbasin euros 553. The toilet has fall cushioned seats and a cistern which reduces water consumption by 25%.
No matter the space. Toilets are adapted. This firm has created a basin of one piece, whose price is based on 1.557 euros.
Ceramics, a classic in baths, now alternating with paintings, stucco, stones, wood or wall coverings.
Kitchens boast new Cook-tops, fronts and materials. The polylaminate offers a wide range of textures and "new collections range from drawers backlit with led technology to the LeMans, a Cabinet spot that offers a multitude of possibilities of storage", designated in The Singular Kitchen. And, above all, "Basic is the mixing of materials", continuing in Schmidt kitchens.
The neutral color should occupy 60% of the wall. The intense should not exceed 15 %
Countertops give much play Corian or Silestone, that bind detectable, as if it were one piece seamless, and that integrated sinks and washbasins.
If the budget is not reached, you can choose to change the look of the kitchen with decorative magnets for appliances and Cabinet fronts. It is a clean and easy solution that costs between 68 and 163 euros. You can choose fruits, landscapes or objects, or family photos.
"Soil we must spare no, quality it should prevail," they say in arQte2. It is the tendency to mix ceramic materials with natural (wood, stone, cement, polished…).
Stab the Park may be a solution. But if you want to replace it to opt for the very light wood to enhance the light and dark tones, giving warmth. The wide lama decking and aged, and brushed finishes are also being explains Julio Iglesias, Tarisur signature. The recycled vintage look is the trend in furniture and floors. It's wood floors with cracks, holes and a matte look that highlights its authenticity.
With respect to the choice of material, multilayer natural wood pallets remain the best option. Its price part of 35 or 40 euros meter.Another variety are synthetic laminate floors that mimic natural wood. "If we want to enjoy of a soil with guarantees, prices should be starting from 25 or 30 euros", advised in Tarisur.
Wood floors are competing with the ceramic.
Now that ceramics is out of bathrooms and kitchens and are seen in living rooms and dining rooms, its applications are more original: fireplaces, staircases, shelves, niches… Stoneware, highlights different textures and formats, and technological ceramics Venatto, suitable for covering walls and floors in kitchens and baths, both finishing polished like textured, says Carmen Luna, of the Greco Gres group.
The Windows are key to any reform, because of them depends on the thermal and acoustic insulation. The tendency is to take advantage of natural light and try to have the least possible partitions. "We are committed to the PVC by energy savings", they say in arQte2. If in addition an insulated glazing is incorporated, the savings in heating and air conditioning can be up to 70% with respect to the old Windows, according to Kommerling, whose profiles of PVC are 70 mm thick and five air chambers. This firm has just introduced a system to give colour, up to 150 tones. Noteworthy finishes in wood. Other efficient options are aluminium with thermal break or even wood.
The design entered full also in the heating sector. The radiators look like sculptures hanging from the wall. One of the last to reach the market is the more light, the brand name Runtal radiator. Designed by King & Miranda, it has a depth of only 16 mm and weighs half that one normal. Its price part of the 950 euros.
If you touch to change the air conditioning, it is luck. The Comunidad de Madrid has just launched a renewal Plan to replace the old equipment. Support will vary between 150 and 500 euros, according to the cooling capacity of the team.
In painting, many years ago that the gotelé went out of fashion, while still chairing many walls. Smooth is essential to win in modernity. An economical option is the apply a paste of plaster called Ibertop, of Placo. Applies directly, without chemical treatments or preliminary mechanical preparations, which prevents dust and debris. Its price is five euros per square meter.
And a tip: soft and neutral color should be applied in more than 60% of the stay. The most intense not should occupy more than 15%.
And out
Little work makes sense when the building lacks insulation. Moisture and energy losses within the housing will continue. Exterior thermal insulation (Sate) system is a cold and heat insulation, get up to 60% energy savings and is not necessary for residents to abandon their homes, they point in the National Association that brings together the Spanish industry of the expanded polystyrene (Anape). Its approximate price, with installation, is EUR 40 to 70 square meter, according to Grupo Puma. Layers that compose it are bonding, insulating and finishing. Expanded polystyrene is widely used as a thermal insulator. Also the mineral wool. The Association of Spanish manufacturers of mineral wool insulation (Afelma) just ask for the Government to lead a Covenant by the rehabilitation. There are more than 23 million homes with no or poor thermal insulation. Luckily, in Madrid are underway a renewal Plan to rehabilitate the thermal insulation of the facade. The subsidy is between 22% and 35% of the cost, up to a maximum of € 20,000 per dwelling or 300,000 euros per building.

The recent New York premiere of Philip Glass's newest opera, ''Akhnaten,'' found the New York State Theater abounding with the now-predictable assortment of types who have for the moment made Glass an ''in'' composer. Also intermingled were the usual New York City Opera subscribers, used to non-challenging Puccini and Verdi, for whom the entire evening must have seemed arcane.
''Akhnaten'' is not, in any real sense, an opera, unless one chooses to think of all theatrically oriented voice-and-orchestra works as operatic. Mr. Glass actually tends to talk of his pieces in terms of music-theater. But even as a musical-theatrical encounter, ''Akhnaten,'' as seen at the City Opera (and earlier this fall at the Houston Grand Opera), is severely wanting, particularly to anyone who saw Glass's ''Satyagraha'' at the Brooklyn Academy of Music three years ago. For that work, based on the life and times of Mohandas Gandhi, designer Robert Israel created a stunning series of visual images which fully captured the period, the social strata, the colonial tensions of mid-century India. Abetted by Hans Nieuwenhuis's direction, the images fused with the music to create a unique entity, far greater than the sum of its parts.
In ''Akhnaten,'' Mr. Israel got the imagery all wrong. Akhnaten was Pharaoh of a sophisticated culture, a multifaceted society whose monumental, lavish, and refined iconography reflected the elaborate, complex religious values of the day. Mr. Israel's iconography is barbaric and crassly pagan, with jarring homages to the painter Magritte. The viewer cannot garner any sense of era, society, or locale.
Director David Freeman, who heads the much-talked-about Opera Factory in London (as well as those in Sydney and Zurich) reveled in stage cliches. That favorite dramatic ethos - ''when in doubt, keep 'em moving'' - was given its formal apotheosis opening night. The stage - transformed into a giant sandbox with wading pool - became a weird, sunbathed playground for all sorts of odd, juvenile types to make messes.
The deformed, ugly, but brilliant Pharaoh Amenhotep IV, soon to become Akhnaten, founded the first monotheistic religion in civilized society. Mr. Freeman, however, chose to make him a fully explicit hermaphrodite, an effete, bald, Boy George type (including lavish eye makeup) who preferred making love to his mother and dancing around the stage in the fashion of a besotted child, to being a ruler or a thinker. Freeman's Nefertiti had no profile whatever.
The story line, such as it is, deals more in vignettes and ideas than actual plot. Freeman's choices to elucidate that plot remind one of Marvel Comics. Mr. Glass was outspokenly unhappy with the world-premiere production of ''Akhnaten'' in Stuttgart, West Germany. He insisted on this designer/director team, and in so doing did his opera a great disservice: Since ''Satyagraha'' worked so well, one is left with the realization that Mr. Freeman did not understand the story, the characters, or Mr. Glass's visions.
The performances were adequate, although Glass's vocal writing is rarely gracious to singers. Akhnaten is cast as a countertenor; Christopher Robson's special brand of that singing style is not particularly endearing; so many moments that might have been most beautiful became, instead, moments of great aural discomfort. The rest of the cast - all in their City Opera debuts - did what each had to do with honor. Christopher Keene conducted with a sense that it was all sounding as it should, and the orchestra played very well under the circumstance.
But what, finally, about the music? On its own, there is not much of interest going on in Glass's orchestra at any given point. Even though he uses a full brass section and percussion, the writing and scoring hardly ever reflect any improvement on ''Satyagraha.'' Glass music that lacks strong visual counterpoint becomes less and less enchanting as the patterns and harmonic progressions - with occasional, minute variations - grind along. Mirella Freni
When Katia Ricciarelli canceled her appearances as ''Manon Lescaut'' at the Met (the third consecutive season she has left the company in the lurch at the last minute), Mirella Freni let it be known she was available. Thus, the Met presented Miss Freni in the first three performances of the opera, and New Yorkers had a chance to hear the popular soprano in a role very new to her repertoire.
Around her was a dispiriting cast - including Ermano Mauro's now bellowy, now inaudible Des Grieux, and David Holloway's inelegant, overwrought Lescaut - conducted with little finesse or beauty by Nello Santi. Miss Freni was in good voice (though not as good as on a Deutsche Grammophon recording, to be released in January); she sang the role securely and occasionally with some insight, particularly in the fourth act. But dramatically, she was remote, uninvolved, indicating that - wonderful singing notwithstanding - this will never be an ideal role for her. 'Barber of Seville'
The Met's revival of Rossini's ''The Barber of Seville'' hardly added luster to an inconsistent season. At least Leo Nucci's Figaro added some vigor to the proceedings, with ringing high notes and a bold sense of characterization, despite a tendency to use dynamics somewhere between loud and overtaxed. In her Met debut, Julia Hamari was determined to be a pert Rosina. Her soft-grained, fluent mezzo sounded undersize for the house. The rest of the singers had little to offer.
The performance ran into problems at the outset with the bizarre conducting of Edoardo Muller in his unexpected Met debut, replacing Silvio Varviso. Mr. Muller, once Claudio Abbado's assistant at La Scala, set unflattering and, occasionally, unsingable tempos. For all the arm-flapping and sudden crouching, the orchestra played merely adequately for him.

The Eagles didn't wait for the NFL Draft to get a big player.
Alejandro Villanueva, a 6-foot-9 defensive lineman, was signed by Philadelphia as a rookie free agent on Monday. The 25-year-old spent the past four years in the US Army.
Villanueva, a recently promoted captain who served three tours in Afghanistan, last played football in 2009 as a wide receiver, though after seeing him play at a regional combine in Detroit last month, the Eagles envision him on defense.
In 2009, Villanueva led the Black Knights with 34 receptions, 522 yards receiving and five touchdowns, having switched positions just before the season started. He began his career as a defensive lineman, then started at left tackle during his entire junior season.
Villanueva earned several honors during his service, including the Ranger tab, the Parachutist Badge, the Bronze Star Medal for overseas service, the National Defense Service Medal, the Afghanistan Campaign Medal with campaign star, the Global War on Terrorism Service Ribbon, the NATO Medal, and the Combat Infantryman's Badge and Expert Infantryman's Badge.
He also earned the Bronze Star Medal for valor, after moving forward under enemy fire to remove wounded soldiers from an isolated position.
Unsure if he would land with a team, Villanueva was ready to return to service if no teams came calling.
"The four years I've had in the Army have been the best four years you could ask for," Villanueva said at the combine. "The guys I served with … above me and under me … were phenomenal guys. They were good experiences that made me the man I am today. But now, I see this as a win-win situation. Obviously, I'm trying to get to a team and contribute. But if I can't, then I can't wait to get back to the Army and serve in the same manner that I have."

Our ethics
Orbis Terrarum Abeo Vestri Utor – Change the world, enjoy your shoes.
To create the world's most enjoyable pair of ethical and high quality shoes.
To change the way the world looks at fashion production
To create funds and resources for local and global community projects
To create employment opportunities for marginalised young people
GIDEON Shoes is a social enterprise operated by the Ted Noffs Foundation to fund its projects and provide more resources for the community. One of these projects is the Street University: an educational facility based in South West Sydney that empowers disadvantaged youth through early intervention education, mentoring, narrative therapy and public health tools.
All of our shoes are made in Australia under fair working conditions. The way we see it, there's no point creating a pair of shoes in the third world under unjust conditions and then turn around and give back to the community.
It is just as pointless donating a pair of shoes to a person in need, whether a child or adult in the third world, if you're creating suffering during the process of production. We believe that countries such as China, India and Africa are used as slave nations for the developed world. It's something we, as the developed world, are largely ignorant about. It's harsh but it's true.
Our vision is to create sneakers of the highest quality, with integrity in mind. It may mock other sneaker companies but we couldn't care less. We challenge the idea that sweatshops are a natural part of the modern world, just as William Wilberforce rejected the notion that slavery was a part of the 18th century economy.

The 28 year-old ran her fastest time since her Olympic triumph in Beijing to win silver in London, and she hopes her experience in raising her game for major races will be invaluable to a young British squad, 68 per cent of whom will be making their Paralympic debuts.
Earlier this month, Ohuruogu spent four days speaking to team members at Britain's Paralympic preparation camp in Portugal and she will make herself available again for advice and support in the athletes' village when she returns to London after her final race of the season in Zurich on Thursday.
Friday marks the start of the Paralympic athletics programme, with men's team captain Stephen Miller hoping to lead from the front by winning Britain's first track and field medal in the club throw.
"I just want to be there as someone they are familiar with," said Ohuruogu. "I'd like to be there because I've met them on a one-to-one level and I'd like to support them."
Ohuruogu was invited to the preparation camp by Peter Eriksson, head coach of UK Athletics' Paralympic programme, and spent several days speaking to athletes on an individual basis before addressing a team meeting about what to expect in the Olympic Stadium.
"They were saying I inspired them, but I thought it really should be the other way round," she said. "Just hearing some of the stories was amazing – things you could never imagine would have happened to another person. When we grow up, we're always told in school 'you can do this' or 'you can do that' but they've always been told 'you can't do it'. They've always had to fight against that and fight against society telling them what they can and can't do with their lives."
Ohuruogu said the question she had been asked the most in Portugal was how to deal with the noisy, capacity crowd — something most of the squad have never experienced.
"It's kind of hard to tell them what to expect because no matter what you say, you can't describe that noise and you can't describe that feeling," said Ohuruogu. "I said it was scary but you have a job to do, no matter how scared you are."
Britain's 48-strong squad will be hoping for a big improvement on the Beijing Games four years ago when the country finished a lowly 18th in the track and field medals table. They managed just two gold medals, both of which were won by wheelchair racer Dave Weir.
Eriksson, who joined UK Athletics from Canada at the start of 2009, has set a target of five to eight gold medals and a top-eight finish in the athletics standings.
Hannah Cockroft, a cerebral palsy wheelchair athlete, has an opportunity to open Britain's gold medal account when she competes in the T34 100m, an event in which she is the world champion.

DENVER–A group of 54 Colorado county sheriffs filed a federal lawsuit Friday against two newly signed Democratic gun-control bills, calling the measures unconstitutional, impossible to enforce and a threat to public safety.
"This isn't good public policy. These are really awful bills," said Weld County Sheriff John Cooke at a Friday press conference. "They are unenforceable and encourage disrespect for the law, which puts both law enforcement and the public in greater danger."
The lawsuit challenges two bills: House Bill 1224, which restricts ammunition-magazine capacity to 15 rounds or fewer, and House Bill 1229, which mandates background checks on all gun sales and transfers, including temporary transfers.
David Kopel, a constitutional-law expert and research director of the Independence Institute, said the bills violate the Constitution as well as the federal Americans with Disabilities Act. In addition to the sheriffs, the plaintiffs include Women for Concealed Carry, the Colorado Outfitters Association, and Outdoor Buddies, a charity for the disabled.
Kopel, the lead attorney on the case, said the bills fail to offer "reasonable accommodations" for the disabled as required under the federal law. He said the measures also create situations that make it virtually impossible for law-abiding citizens to comply with the law.
For example, the background-check bill would require checks on all private transfers, including scenarios in which a gun owner fleeing a burning home drops off his firearms with a neighbor. A failure to undergo a background check in that situation is punishable under the bill by 18 months in jail.
Getting a background check under less dire circumstances is also problematic because all checks must be performed by a federally licensed dealer for $10.
"There will be very few if any firearms dealers who will be willing to undertake this time-consuming process," said Kopel. "In practice, it may be almost impossible for citizens who want to go through the background-check process for a private transfer to be able to do so."
The gun bills emerged in the wake of the July 20 Aurora theater shooting, which left 12 dead and 58 injured. Prior to Friday's press conference, relatives of several shooting victims released statements decrying the lawsuit.
"As someone whose family has been affected by gun violence and worked in law enforcement for many years, it is disappointing to see the majority of sheriffs in this state turn gun safety and the safety of families and citizens of this state into a political issue," said Dave Hoover, a police detective whose nephew, A.J. Boik, was killed in the Aurora shooting.
"Let's encourage the sheriffs to focus on public safety and enforce the laws they have sworn to uphold, instead of playing politics," said Hoover in a statement to KDVR-TV.
Cooke said that it was Democratic legislators and gun-control groups, not the sheriffs, politicizing the firearms issue.
"We're not the ones playing politics with this," said Cooke. "We believe the legislature are the ones playing politics. We're standing up for our constituents and the Constitution."
The state legislature approved three gun-control bills in March with no Republican votes during a session that featured intensive lobbying by gun-control and gun-rights groups. Gov. John Hickenlooper signed the bills in March along with a "signing statement" that attempted to clarify questions surrounding enforcement of the bills.
"The governor signed the bills knowing how bad they were," said Cooke. "In a recent radio interview, the governor even admitted that the magazine bill will be nearly impossible for law enforcement to enforce, yet he signed it anyway."
El Paso County Sheriff Terry Maketa said he would enforce the bills, which take effect July 1, if it were possible.
"It's not a matter of whether I choose to enforce them or not, it's that they're unenforceable," said Maketa. "I can't enforce what's unenforceable."
The lawsuit was filed on behalf of 54 of the state's 64 sheriffs, not the County Sheriffs of Colorado, which opposed the gun-control bills. The Independence Institute has set up a legal-defense fund to cover the costs of the lawsuit.

One shelter not enough, says EU Delegation head
Head of the European Union Delegation to Jamaica Malgorzata Wasilewska has called for the establishment of more safe spaces for women who are victims of gender-based violence and has revealed that she has started exploring opportunities for the establishment of a shelter in western Jamaica.
"The truth that is one shelter is not enough. Collectively, we have to do better and provide more safe spaces for women," she said during the launch of the National Strategic Action Plan to Eliminate Gender-Based Violence at the Jamaica Conference Centre in Kingston yesterday.
Shelter refurbished
The country's only shelter for victims of domestic abuse was recently reopened after extensive refurbishing. The shelter, which is operated by Women's Inc, was remodelled courtesy of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).
Wasilewska said that she was honoured to visit the facility recently but was shocked by some of the stories she was told.
"I heard firsthand, for the first time, stories of some of the women who have suffered abuse and how it impacts them and their family, including their children," she said.
"I was deeply disturbed and shocked by the extent and multitude of abuse and violence against these women," she stated.
She said that she was pleased that efforts were being made to address the abuse of women and children.
"Like everybody else, I am deeply alarmed by the scale of violence, including violence against women and children, which still takes place every day in Jamaica, but also all over the world," she said.
"The fact is that when women are physically, sexually, and psychologically abused, their ability to participate fully in all aspects of society is seriously limited," she explained.
She said that following her visit to the shelter, she, along with the High Commissioner of Canada in Jamaica Laurie Peters, started a conversation with the private sector in Montego Bay to look at opportunities to open another shelter.
"It is clear to me that this is a task that requires unity and also sectors of society working together," Wasilewska said.

Can You Guess the Celebrity in This Yearbook Photo?
You may not recognize this crooner without his signature chapeau, but his face really hasn't changed all that much since the time this yearbook photo was snapped. Can you guess who this lil' guy grew up to be?
Born Shaffer Smith, this formerly toothless schoolboy lived in Arkansas before he and his mama packed up and moved to Las Vegas. There, he honed his musical abilities (ranging from singing, dancing, songwriting and producing) at the Las Vegas Academy and later as a member of a now defunct R&B boy band. Fun fact: Before he adopted his now famous, two-syllable moniker, he went by the semi-similar stage name "GoGo."

LAKE WORTH — A need for better computer security, more operators and a long-standing deficit in the sanitary sewer fund, were among the deficiencies noted in the city audit released Tuesday.
In summing up the city`s financial health, the auditors from May Zima & Co. wrote, ``Our study and evaluation disclosed no condition that we believe to be a material weakness.``
The audit dealt with the 1983-84 fiscal year, which ended Sept. 30, 1984.
It listed eight suggested changes to upgrade the security and use of the Finance Department`s computer.
Only one city employee is completelyfamiliar with the operation of the computer, and the auditors said someone else should be trained as a back-up operator.
The city computer operator has control over blank checks and can change data and programs, the auditors said. ``The city is placing too much responsibility in one individual. Blank check stocks should be controlled by another employee.``
Computer program changes should be reviewed carefully and tested by management, they said.
Payroll changes put into the computer by the payroll clerk are not reviewed by management, but should be, the auditors said.
Security should be tightened, they said. ``Passwords for terminal access are widely known among employees of the Finance Department and are not changed frequently,`` they wrote.
Also, access to the computer room is not limited to the operator.
The operator is assisted by an outside program consultant who is paid $40 an hour to help as needed. The auditors said the city should enter a contract with the consultant to outline his responsibilities and set a fixed fee.
``We should find out how much we paid him last year,`` City Commissioner Andy Andrews said, ``and consider hiring a city employee to do that and the other things recommended in the report.``

When Brandi Glanville isn't bragging about her endless job opportunities and boasting about how happy and carefree she is since she turned down 500K to sometimes appear on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills (hahahahaha), she is whining about her living situation and complaining about her finances.
Brandi interviewed (obviously I use that term loosely) RuPaul's Drag Race's Michelle Visage, who was a treat to listen to, on her most recent podcast. Unfortunately, as per usual, Brandi talked about herself as much as she could.
When the subject of fame/finances came up, Brandi shared, "I know all of this could be over tomorrow. I'm not stupid like that. I save my money and, you know, I don't own a house yet and we're moving now into an apartment from a house. I feel like I'm kind of going backwards. It is hard because all I wanted to do was buy something and then, you know, the job situation turned around."

Over the past year I've been lucky enough to spend time with wounded soldiers, many of them Special Forces and most of them amputees. We first met at Feherty's IED of Golf, an event in July during the week of Tiger's event at Congressional. I was still feeling the effects of having been flattened by a truck in a bicycling accident, and a Green Beret named John Wayne Walding, who lost his right leg below the knee in one of the most horrific firefights of the Afghan war, asked me how I was feeling. I said I was doing great other than my left shoulder, which had been so badly separated that it would be a year before I could start rehab. "No it isn't," he replied. He bent down, pulled off his prosthetic, held it up and pointed at it, grinning like an idiot. "That's f—ing separated."
Less than four months earlier, John had tied what was left of his right calf and foot to his right thigh with his bootlace and scrambled down a cliff to a helicopter. The day after I met him, he walked around Congressional with me. It was only his second day with the prosthetic. Moron that I am, I suggested he perhaps ride in my cart part of the time. "It's easier to be the Pope than it is to be a Green Beret," said Keith, another Beret, and the most dangerous-looking human I've ever seen. "Try not to get in his way."
When John fell on his ass over the ropes beside the seventh green I resisted the urge to help him up, as it might have been the last thing I ever did. Without a hint of embarrassment or a trace of self-pity, he hauled himself upright, grinned and said, "It might take me a while."
Since then, I have held Feherty's IED of Pheasant Hunting. Eight men at various stages of recovery from horrifying wounds made the trip to Dallas, where they were picked up by DFW town cars and taken to the Four Seasons at the TPC. We had an unbelievable dinner at Nick and Sam's steakhouse, and the following morning, flew in two private jets to Winner, S.D., where Tom Walsh and his son took us to their Southfork Lodge — and the whole trip was donated. The driveway was lined with 250 American flags, and inside were about 25 vets from South Dakota. There wasn't a dry eye in the house, at least among the civilians. You have to remember we're talking about Special Forces.
Men like Kent Solheim, who led the team of Rangers who went in and rescued Marcus Luttrell, of Lone Survivor fame. These men don't cry easily. Also among my group was Leroy Petry, a selfless Ranger who lost his right arm in a Middle Eastern crap-hole by picking up a Taliban grenade and hurling it away from his team. Ranger Petry deserves one hell of a medal, for he is a King among these warrior princes (and, coincidentally, believed to be the first white man to be named Leroy since Korea). Among them, the guests of honor had thirteen missing or paralyzed limbs, yet I never laughed as hard in my life. I got stump-rubbed (which is like a really unsettling noogie) and had to shower with Ranger, the giant yellow lab service dog that made my bathroom look like the Zambezi Delta and Little Dave look like a cocktail weenie.
As I witnessed the finest display of one-legged, one-armed pheasant shooting in history, I felt like I'd found a way to pay a very tiny part of the bill I owe for the privilege of living in America. Next up, Feherty's IED of Cycling in Hilton Head, the week after the Masters. Along with my golfers and hunters, I will have Ferris Butler, who after losing one leg and 54 surgeries, decided he could do without the other one. He will ride, as will Kenny Butler, who mislaid his left arm. Trek Bicycle Corporation is already on board, and their engineers will make the road bikes to fit. Hey, this is America. All I had to do was ask.

Artist LeRoy Neiman — a fixture at major sporting events, whose work has appeared in every issue of Playboy since 1953 — is recovering at New York Presbyterian Hospital after having his right leg amputated. We hear the artist, 89, is "in good spirits and talking on the phone" after undergoing the surgery, the result of a vascular problem. "All attempts to prevent it, including a stent, failed," says a source. A rep for Neiman told us: "LeRoy said, 'I'm on a brief vacation concentrating on my book of memoirs and continuing on with my painting and drawing.' "

Malin Edqvist has studied nearly 3,000 home births in the four Nordic countries Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Iceland in the years 2008–2013. These were planned home births and the midwives and expectant mothers had met ahead of time.
The share of women who suffered damage to the anal sphincter muscle in these home births was as low as 0.7 percent, shows the study from the University of Gothenburg.
By comparison, according to the Norwegian website Norsk Helseinformatikk, 2.4 percent of all women who give birth suffer such damage to the rectal-vaginal tissue during birth. This can cause serious problems that linger long after the delivery of the child.
Women who give birth at home are not really representative of all women having babies. They have not had complications during their pregnancies designating the need for a hospital or clinical birth where obstetricians are at hand. They have the health and gumption to take more control and responsibility for this staggering event.
"Even though this is a group with fewer risk factors, 0.7 percent injuries is very low," says Edqvist in a University of Gothenburg press release.
The researcher found that births given at home tend to go more smoothly than in hospitals. The women obtain more contact with the midwife, who in turn gets a somewhat different role in the woman's home than at the hospital, explains the researcher to the Swedish news website svt.se.
Another difference is that women bear down and exert pressure more on their own impulse than from the urging of the midwife when they are home. This can help reduce tissue damage. The study also shows that the positions they take while giving birth are also more flexible at home than in hospitals.
A Norwegian study from 2015 also shows that there are generally fewer complications involved with home births than at clinics and hospitals.
Professor Ellen Blix compared women with low risks of tissue trauma or injury during the birth with comparable women planning for deliveries at hospitals.
The women who gave birth at home were less prone to suffering complications such as perineal tears and haemorrhaging.
"The numbers from my research show that it isn't riskier for women to give birth at home when they have had low-risk pregnancies. Of course, this is on the condition that they can be moved to a hospital should complications occur," said Blix to the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation.
Another study by Blix showed than one in three women who are having their first child and intend to have a home birth end up in hospitals anyway.
The most common reason is that they are in labour too long, the birth goes too slowly. Other conditions that call for a hospital birth despite plans for one at home is discolouration of the amniotic fluid, a foetus in the wrong position (such as a breech position) or that the woman suffers so much pain that anaesthetics are called for.
The Swedish researcher Malin Edqvist has also studied the prospects of transferring the positive aspects of a home birth into hospital environments.
She found that here too, when the midwife assumed another role and the woman could choose alternative positions, perineal trauma cases were also reduced in the hospital.
In the control group, 78 percent suffered such tears, as against 70 percent in the group where the midwife tried to simulate aspects of a home birth.
The vaginal and anal openings are close together. In a rough birth a tear of tissue between them can rip the sphincter.
This is extremely painful for the woman right off. It can also cause bowel incontinence and make future intercourse painful.
The research at the University of Gothenburg shows that midwives experience a sense of guilt and shame when births go badly in this way. They feel like inferior midwives.
"It's essential for these issues to be discussed," says Malin Edqvist.

This blog is dedicated to the Kinston Free Press newspaper, so imagine my delight when I came across this biographical information on one of the founders.
JOSEPHUS DANIELS, EsQ., OF RALEIGH,
Was born at Washington, Beaufort county, May 18th, 1862. He received a rudimentary education at the Wilson
Collegiate Institute, At the age of eighteen he was local editor and part owner of the Wilson' Advance. A year later he became sole editor and owner of that paper. In 1882, in company with his brother he commenced the publication of the Kinston Free Press, He read law under Hon. John Manning at the University in 1885, and obtained his license the same year. The day after receiving his license to practice he succeeded Capt. Randolph A. Shotwell, as editor of the Raleigh Stale Ohronicle. He has increased the circulation of this paper and has made it a potent power for Democracy. The paper is rapidly increasing in patronage and reputation. It is doubtful if any young man in North Carolina at Mr. Daniel's age has ever wielded a greater influence in journalism.
He was married May 2d, 1888, to Miss Addie Bagley, of Raleigh, daughter of the late Maj. W. H. Bagley, who was for a long time Clerk of the Supreme Court, and granddaughter of Gov. Jonathan Worth .

Stuart Broad finished with five wickets as England restricted Australia to a first-innings lead of only 32 at Chester-le-Street.
Centurion Chris Rogers (110) and his overnight partner Brad Haddin could add only 10 runs between them on day three of this fourth Investec Test before both falling to Graeme Swann in a total of 270.
Australia had begun a mostly sunny morning on 222 for five, with obvious chances of pushing for a significant mid-match advantage.
But England were into their tail almost immediately, when Swann had Haddin lbw in the first full over of the day.
Haddin went back and missed in defence, and used up the tourists' first review to no avail as Hawk-Eye unsurprisingly projected impact halfway up the stumps.
Rogers' near six-hour vigil ended too before Australia reached parity or the second new ball became available, thanks again to Swann - as well as an alert Matt Prior, and the effectiveness of Hot Spot.
The thermal-imaging technology has come in for plenty of scrutiny in this controversial summer for the decision review system.
But today, it settled an otherwise unclear issue after Prior lunged athletically from behind the wickets to short leg to catch the ball after Rogers pushed forward at Swann - who was taking his Test tally against Australia to 50 wickets.
Umpire Tony Hill had ruled not out. But Hot Spot told third official Marais Erasmus there was slight impact with glove before pad, and Rogers had to go at last after his 250 balls of skilful defiance.
Peter Siddle and Ryan Harris were therefore exposed to James Anderson and Broad in full cry, on this helpful surface.
Anderson duly picked up his first wicket of the match when Siddle guided a catch low to Alastair Cook at slip, and then Nathan Lyon fell to England's pace lynchpin too when he was lbw shuffling across the crease.
Australia still had a review left, but did not use it - and Hawk-Eye later indicated the decision would have been overturned.
Harris was not yet done with, and hit three successive and resounding boundaries off Broad before the bowler got his revenge to record figures of five for 71.
Hill, who has had a tough match so far, initially gave Harris not out lbw - only for big-screen evidence to demonstrate an overturn, and the players were already walking off for the change of innings by the time the umpire could signal the inevitable.
England keep Australia in check

The Future of the U.S. Defense Industry
By Vance D. Coffman
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
Lockheed Martin Corporation
before the Council on Foreign Relations
Washington, DC
October 1, 1998
Thank you, Les (Gelb), for that generous introduction. It is a great privilege to address the Council on subject as important as the future of America's defense industry. I realize this forum is one-third premise and two-thirds discussion; therefore, my opening remarks will be brief.
Time for Taking Stock
Let me begin with a review of where we are some nine years after the fall of the Berlin Wall and after 14 years of continuous declines in the defense budget. Current expenditures are now at their lowest point since before the beginning of World War II; in terms of share of GDP, the share devoted to defense is less than three percent. As a portion of the federal budget, it is at its lowest point in modern history. As a benchmark, during the Kennedy Administration, defense represented about one-half of the federal budget. Today it is about one-seventh.
The defense industry got its marching orders in 1993 from Defense Sec. Aspin and Deputy Sec. Perry at the now-famous "Last Supper": "consolidate or evaporate" was the message. The subsequent consolidation of the industry eliminated more than 1.5 million jobs. Lockheed Martin itself closed 16 million square feet of plant space and eliminated approximately 100,000 positions in our heritage locations. These efficiencies allowed our company alone to begin to pass along savings of approximately .6 billion per year to our customers, primarily to the Department of Defense. And those savings will continue to help hold down the costs of products in the future.
In short, the U.S. citizens got their "Peace Dividend" -- but at what might be considered a higher price than expected at the time. Today, we are seeing the result of 14 years of budget cuts -- namely, investments in hardware at such a pace that the average ship, tank, or aircraft will have to last some 53 years before being replaced. That is equivalent to flying a DC-3 to your next business meeting or using a mechanical adding machine to figure out your strategic plan. With stealth technology aircraft already in use for some 15 years, and with the continued turnover of computer generations measured in months, rather than years, the time to reconsider our priorities is overdue.
The Technology Challenge
No doubt this audience is acutely aware of these realities, which have resulted from political and economic forces that have swept through the defense industry. What may not be as readily apparent is that a technological revolution has simultaneously been at work, transforming the industry.
For as long as we have had mechanized warfare, the major defense industrial challenge was basically a question of manufacturing or "surge capacity." If you knew the production capacity of the defense industrial base, you had a pretty fair idea of how many armored divisions the U.S. Army could put on the North German Plain or how many cruisers the U.S. Navy could send to the South China Sea.
Newsweek reporter John Barry has characterized the issue this way: "The American way of war was to take the manpower of a continent, arm it with mass-produced weapons, and send it out over and over again [on a] series of fairly repetitive military tasks." This explains, in part, why America's defense industrial base was crucial to winning World War II we were quickly able to turn from making trucks and automobiles into making tanks and landing craft.
In the post-World War II era, whatever shortfall that existed in force structure was compensated for by our strategic and tactical nuclear forces. Here, the technological challenge was slightly more complicated, but the industry understood the physics of ballistic missiles, and the Government, through the Department of the Energy and the National Labs, took responsibility for the warheads.
Now, in the post-Cold War era, the need for restructuring was only the first of a multitude of questions facing industry leaders and U.S. policy-makers. How well has the industry adapted itself to the revolution that is taking place in commercial information technology? Are we maintaining a technology base that will ensure American military superiority in years to come? Are there technologies developing outside our borders upon which we are dependent? And, most importantly, how will the defense industry respond to the competitive demands of an increasingly global and interdependent economy?
The technological challenge for the defense industry today is fundamentally different from the other challenges we face. The Department of Defense no longer asks companies like Lockheed Martin to manufacture lots of dumb weapons; it asks us, in a general sense, to integrate relatively fewer, though highly complex and powerful, weapons systems.
This shift has necessitated a similarly fundamental change in the entire structure of the defense industrial base. Instead of chassis, airframes, and ship hulls, the modern defense industrial base requires, for example, sensors that sniff, sensors that hear, and sensors that produce images simultaneously in multiple spectra. The new emphasis on information reflects the nation's overall strategic problem, which is: we often don't know who the enemy is, what his capabilities are, or how or when he will choose to attack.
But this emphasis on knowledge, battlefield awareness, and assembling information in a coherent fashion for the armed services has forced the defense industry to reinvent itself. Today, we have relatively more clean rooms than shop floors, more systems architects than metal benders, more computer programmers than welders and riveters.
Evolving To Survive
As a result of these three converging forces the change in the political environment, the resulting economic dislocations, and the rapid technological advances -- our industry has been transforming itself. The point is that the changes which have occurred in the defense industry in the last decade have been essential to competitiveness and survival, not discretionary. We have built large corporations with great technological depth -- and with sufficient product diversity and the commercial base needed to remain profitable and competitive despite the government's reduced investment in procuring weapons systems.
Building on and adapting our core defense and aerospace competencies, we have expanded our product lines and our customer base to an extent few thought possible. A decade ago, approximately 90 percent of our collective companies' business was with the U.S. Department of Defense; today, that figure is about 50 percent. I think it is fair to say that over that timeframe, Lockheed Martin has transformed itself from one of America's premier defense companies into a globally oriented, advanced-technology company that retains a significant defense portfolio.
We have stayed close to our core businesses, but are expanding our activities in related dual-use and commercial sectors that are growing faster than the economy as a whole and where we can apply our advanced technology skills. As such, we now have significant interests in space-based commercial telecommunications, information management services, and systems engineering.
This strategy explains why we have built a .5-billion Information Sector comprised of 18 companies and 45,000 employees. This is also why we recently formed a global telecommunications subsidiary, and why we have decided to purchase the Comsat Corporation. Obviously, we are interested in fast-growing markets in which we can leverage our skills in space-based activities and advanced data systems. But such actions also recognize that remaining abreast of advances in these commercial arenas has become a critical requirement for remaining competitive as a defense company.
In addition to broadening the technology base and leveraging our skills in adjacent commercial markets, our industry has had to respond to the challenges of the global economy. The fact is that our defense industry, like the rest of business, is part of an increasingly interdependent global economy, which raises difficult issues but also presents novel opportunities.
Furthermore, the continuing worldwide decline in defense spending, combined with the escalating cost of research and development, create an imperative among allies to share the financial burdens and investments required to develop new technologies for our common defense. I believe that cross-border partnerships and alliances are increasingly desirable, if not inevitable.
Directly addressing this issue, Defense Secretary Cohen recently established a new advisory panel on National Security and the Globalization of Business and Industry. He said, "This accelerating globalization and transformation of defense-related business offers important cost and efficiency advantages to the U.S. defense establishment. At the same time -- individually and collectively these trends raise new issues and potential security risks."
We're beginning to see our European colleagues move seriously on consolidation, which offers the possibility of new trans-atlantic partnerships and alliances. I believe that the next phase of the defense industry realignment will proceed on a trans-atlantic model. Some such partnerships are already at hand. For example, Lockheed Martin has teamed with British Aerospace in the competition to provide the Joint Strike Fighter to the U.S. Air Force, Navy and Marines, and the British Royal Navy. We have similar joint ventures with companies in Israel, Italy, and Australia. And let me quickly add that we have non-defense relationships with interests in such countries as Poland, Hungary, China and Argentina.
Such private-sector-to-private sector relationships will help shape the structure of the U.S. defense industry well into the next century. And again, the reasons are essential for competitiveness and survival, not discretionary.
Only by pooling our research and development and production efforts will any of us be able to provide our military forces the systems they will need. And if we are serious about retaining the ability to wage coalition warfare, we need to develop cross-border industries. One doesn't have to be a geopolitician to understand that an alliance which trades together and pools its defense investments is an alliance that is more likely to stay together.
Furthermore, if we want our aerospace and defense capabilities to stay at the cutting edge, we also have to be willing to acknowledge that America does not have a monopoly on all relevant technologies. European industry, in particular, has capabilities that could make significant contributions to cooperatively developed systems.
The Ground Rules-National Security
Now let me make clear that when I encourage what I believe to be the inevitable cross-border partnerships of individual companies, I am not endorsing any sort of "defense bazaar." Each proposed partnership -- or joint venture -- must be evaluated on a case-by-case basis, not just by the countries involved but also by the companies involved.
From a national security standpoint, I have discussed the issue of cross-border partnerships with officials of our government, and I have offered the suggestion that there are at least three critical criteria that I believe the U.S. government might want to consider before approving such partnerships:
First, the government should have the necessary assurances that key proprietary technologies will be protected and the mechanisms in place to guarantee those assurances. After all, we want to make sure that the investments of the U.S. taxpayers in critical technologies are protected and that those technologies do not inadvertently migrate to "third parties."
Second, our authorities should have a very high "comfort" level that the interaction between the countries' industries will be mutually beneficial and cooperative. What I hope would develop are company-to-company cooperative interactions that would complement and reinforce the traditional government-to-government exchanges that have marked previous alliance success stories. Examples of private-sector partnerships between U.S. and U.K. companies that are already working include the MERLIN anti-submarine helicopter program, the TRACER future reconnaissance vehicle, and the emerging Joint Strike Fighter program.
Third, what we should be striving for is true "interoperability" resulting from joint development of the systems produced so that they meet the requirements of the armed forces of the nations involved.
I have summarized what I believe to be the three key national security issues that our government should consider in approving cross-border relationships. Another issue that might be raised is the concern of some who view Lockheed Martin and our U.S. competitors as being "too big" or whose technological capabilities are "too broad." Let me offer a brief explanation of our view: Competitiveness in today's very robust marketplace is determined not by the size of aggregate sales, but by the "base" of sales within lines of business and the ability to draw upon a range of technologies that would enhance the marketability of one's products. As such, our consolidation efforts in the past were to generate increased base and access to a broader set of technologies.
The point here is that for the foreseeable future, transnational cooperation will be less likely to occur among corporate entities per se, but rather among operating units within corporations that are seeking to increase their competitiveness in a given line of business or technology.
The Ground Rules - Corporate
Let me now turn to the corporate criteria that Lockheed Martin considers when we evaluate possible cross-border partnerships:
- First, the proposed partner must have the same basic ethical and cultural values we have established for our company, including compliance with both the letter and the spirit of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. Additionally, its parent government must have a demonstrated track record in support of U.S. foreign policy and national security interests.
- There obviously should be synergy between the two companies, with complementary products and services, and a mutual understanding of the benefits each will derive from cooperation.
- We also equally consider essential, the potential partner's demonstrated competitiveness in the relevant market in which we would be doing business.
- We prefer partners that are privately, rather than governmentally, owned when considering any kind of equity relationship. Our experience is that the agendas of foreign governments and U.S. shareholders are not always identical, and are often quite different.
- Finally, reflecting my earlier concern over the security of technology, there has to be absolute and verifiable compliance with all U.S. national security controls over the technologies shared or jointly developed.
To be candid, there have been relatively few companies where we have been able to find both the criteria I just cited and a mutual interest by those companies in partnering or doing joint ventures. The bar is set fairly high because we are interested in a tangible business enterprise, not an experiment.
Dealing With the Russians
Which brings me to one of the most surprising developments to emerge from the end of the Cold War and that is the fact that some of Lockheed Martin's most successful international joint ventures have been with Russian companies. Let me quickly note that these initiatives have had bipartisan support, beginning in the Bush administration and continuing under President Clinton.
Our relationships with Russian companies are authentic partnerships among equals: real, strong and substantial. It is ironic that we have been able to work through all the contentious commercial cross-border issues with a former adversary at a time when we still have difficulties setting up significant joint ventures with our traditional allies.
We are partners, with the Russian companies which previously developed ICBMs, to launch commercial satellites on the Proton and to supply RD-180 rocket engines for the next generation of American space launch vehicles. By the way, this is transferring technology to the U.S. -- not away from it.
These economic initiatives have demonstrable, positive national security consequences. For example, we are helping move Russian industry from military production to commercially profitable products and services and, incidentally, productively employing Russian scientists and engineers who might otherwise be tempted to answer calls for "assistance" from the Iraqs and Libyas of our world. And, of course, the fact that these same joint ventures result in substantial injections of hard currency underpins the transformation of the Russian economy and should be seen as one factor that encourages Russia's progress toward a free market system.
Now, let me conclude by briefly summing up my major points:
- One, the defense business is not just another business. Notwithstanding a downsizing of historic proportions, the people who work in the defense industry remain motivated by their sense of their special relationship with the men and women who defend our country and with their role in preserving our national security.
- Two, we must develop greater partnerships with the defense industries of our allies, both to share R&D and production expenses and to ensure the "best of the best" solutions for U.S. national security. Ultimately, these relations will help to ensure that the fabric of our alliances does not tear apart in the middle of the Atlantic.
- Three, we should set the bar fairly high for potential cross-border partnerships, both as a country and as a company, in order to assure our ability to keep U.S. and allied armed forces at the forefront of technology.
- And four, we must never lose sight of the ethical values which the nation's defense and technological base were developed to safeguard.
If there is one thing I wish to convey to the foreign policy community it is that our American defense companies were built in response to challenges that confronted America and built on a foundation of ethical values. I believe that active engagement of our industry in the global economy is the only way we can be assured of maintaining America's technological military preeminence.
Finally, we all recognize that the world is still a very dangerous place, as recent events from Sudan, Afghanistan, Kosovo, North Korea, Iran and Pakistan have reminded us. While the defense industry was executing an enormous reduction, overall the force structure has also been slashed by more than one-third. Recent actions by President Clinton, Secretary Cohen, and the CINC's acknowledge that we have gone further than prudence allows in reducing our force structure and deferring modernization, so I am pleased that there is some effort now under way to redress that imbalance.
That's the "Big Picture" as a humble engineer sees it. I look forward to your questions and comments. Thank you.

11-11-1933 Bursa Prison My one and only! Your last letter says: "My head is throbbing, my heart is stunned!" You say: "If they hang you, if I lose you, I'll die!" You'll live, my dear-- my memory will vanish like black smoke in the wind. Of course you'll live, red-haired lady of my heart: in the twentieth century grief lasts at most a year. Death-- a body swinging from a rope. My heart can't accept such a death. But you can bet if some poor gypsy's hairy black spidery hand slips a noose around my neck, they'll look in vain for fear in Nazim's blue eyes! In the twilight of my last morning I will see my friends and you, and I'll go to my grave regretting nothing but an unfinished song... My wife! Good-hearted, golden, eyes sweeter than honey--my bee! Why did I write you they want to hang me? The trial has hardly begun, and they don't just pluck a man's head like a turnip. Look, forget all this. If you have any money, buy me some flannel underwear: my sciatica is acting up again. And don't forget, a prisoner's wife must always think good thoughts.

Leimert Park is known as the hub of African-American art, progress and grassroot movements for over 80 years.
Known as the hub of African-American Art and progress, Leimert Park (LP) has informed the community for over 80 years. Central to the neighborhood of LP, it is encompassed by Crenshaw Boulevard, 4th Street, Vernon and Roxton Avenues. The Olmsted Bros. designers, in partnership with Walter H. Leimert, brought this staple into existence. However, it would be the surrounding establishments and a few historic occurrences that would bring the locus to life.
Vision Theatre photo by Brian W. Carter
While LP was not always a resort to African-Americans, it's legacy of such developed quickly. Associated with the rise crime in the 1970s, The Uprising and today, LP still maintains its magnetism. With the involvement of community activists and leaders, LP became the modern core of the Crenshaw District.
From 'The World Stage' to the 'Vision Theatre,' LP represents grassroot movements and community advocacy. LP has become home to popular mainstays such as Eso Won Bookstore, Zambezi Bazaar and Phillip's Barbecue just to name a few. Establishments such as The Barbara Morrison Performing Arts Center, starring the legendary jazz artist herself as well as featuring many jazz greats, continues to keep LP on the map. LP remains the focal point of African-American awareness; most recently serving as the location of the 4th Annual LP Village African Art & Music Festival.
Legendary Jazz artist, Barbara Morrison
Once home to Ray Charles and Ella Fitzgerald, now to known rapper Dom Kennedy and beloved film producer, John Singleton, Leimert Park reflects a history of diversity in African-American progress.
