I agree with a lot of Bloomberg's ideas. But that's all they should be: ideas. Not policy and law. He takes it a bit too far with his power.
Mikey is beginniong to think he's the King.
First, (at least lately) he initiates a ban on large size soft drinks.
Then, he along with others threatens to bar Chick[fil-A from NYC because their pres doesn't embrace gay marriage.
Now, (saw yesterday), he wants to ban baby formula. Mothers should only breast feed he says. It's healthier. So much for a woman's choice.

I guess you should forget about adopting a baby if you live in NYC
Good insight. I hadn't thought about that. And how about GAY MALE COUPLES adopting. HMMM. Mikey didn't think it through?
BTW, for Mikey and the mayors of Boston, SF and CHI, tomorrow is Chick-Fil-A Appreciation Day. People in the South (and elsewhere) will be flocking to their restaurants to give the finger to Mikey et al.
First he took on big servings of soda. Next on Mayor Michael Bloomberg's agenda is infant formula. Going into effect on September 3, New York City's mayor will implement his voluntary Latch On NYC initiative in which infant formula will be kept locked away at hospitals to encourage breast-feeding for new mothers.
Under the new program, reported by the New York Post, mothers who insist on bottle-feeding will still be able to do so, but nurses would have to sign out the baby formula, which would always be on hand for mothers who have difficulty breast-feeding.
The Post reports that 27 of the city's 40 hospitals have also agreed to eliminate gift bag giveaways of infant formula and other free items like lanyards or mugs with formula-company logos.
The mayor has gotten criticized over the new policy, which is set to take effect in September. While some are chiding the mayor for imposing a "nanny state," The National Alliance for Breast-feeding Advocacy says it's a good program.
The Alliance's executive director says keeping baby formula under lock and key, like medicines are kept, helps prevent hospital staffers from reaching for a bottle first, instead of encouraging new mothers to nurse their babies.
The program is voluntary for hospitals, and is part of a nationwide effort to improve newborns' health by promoting breast-feeding for babies.
Some city hospitals are already taking part in the program. At NYU Langone Medical Center, breast-feeding rates have surged from 39 percent of new moms to 68 percent since the program was implemented, the Post reported.
Put on your bifocals before reading stuff online.
But seriously... Fck Chick-fil-A
Whats funny is who is actually doing descrimination here.
Chik-Fil-A does not descriminate (it can't, legally). Not in employment. Not in treatement of Patrons. The CEO has a right to his personal beliefs, beleifs it must be said are still in the majority of Americans.
The Left is engaging in descrimination, by pledging to ban Chick-Fil-A (illegally as it turns out), protesting them for their owners religious beleifs (beliefs Obama himself held supposedly till just recently, and no one on the left said "**** him" for that!), and actively trying to hurt Chik-Fil-A because of their (the protestors) disagreement over the CEO's beleifs.
Just sad. It's obviosu who the intolerant is in this situation. Agree with the Left, of face their wrath, their hatred, and the full force of Law they can muster.

Government oppression is wrong and needs to be struck down immediately. Consumer boycotts are perfectly fine whether the reasoning is legitimate or not.
Baby Formula
I don't see a problem with promoting breast feeding in hospitals. From what I have read, nothing is being denied or forced in this situation.
Do you think they hire gays?

I think they follow the Law about employment descrimination, generally (as generally any big company).
Agreed.Consumer boycotts are perfectly fine whether the reasoning is legitimate or not.
Nothign wrong with describing it as it is tho, intolerence of a religious beleif, and intolerence towards any disagreement with how they see things.
In short, exactly what they claim the right does to them. Ironic.
Promoting, yes.Baby Formula
I don't see a problem with promoting breast feeding in hospitals. From what I have read, nothing is being denied or forced in this situation.
Banning alternatives, no.
If thats the case here, no worries.
Like many mass employment companies they have gays working there.
Giving money to organizations which promote marriage and the family sounds good.
Giving money to organizations that promote rioting and vandalism (OWS and the New Black Panthers) seems bad. Obama supports OWS and the NBP.

Thanks to Wicca Merlin who did the german-english translation, i was able to do an interview with a wonderful lady who creates beautiful clothes for Baboom. Her clothes both mesh and else are handmade, which makes it so much more special. Meet Kyra Camel.
Hello Kyra, thank you very much for allowing us to get to know you better through a couple of questions.
MB: What was your Second Life like since your beginning until you started designing?
KC: I am in SL since 2007. There was advertising in the TV for SL and I was very curious what I could do and what would be possible in SL. On the TV spot as well they said "with building you can earn money"… In the beginning it was not easy to get used to SL and it's functions, like how to built, whats a viewer and much more. What I learned first was "Go to Jazz Clubs and meet people". With that I found my first contacts in the Phats Cats club. I was roaming around through different clubs, dancing , flirting and having fun. With all this first contacts I made, I learned how SL works, how to built and I got a lot of great advices.
MB: When did you start creating in Second Life and what made you decide to become a designer in Second Life?
KC: After being 3 month in SL i started looking more and more about clothing. I am a passionate stitcher in SL and so i had a few visions, which got stopped by the way SL buidling works. In the beginning i tried to use full perm items to make my outfits as I was not able to use graphic programs like photoshop or any of those. But I was never satisfied with what i found and so I tried to find other possibilities and found Gimp. I was working hard to understand Gimp and how to make my own layers. It took some time and during this process I lost my temper and nerve. In 2008 i started over and made tried to design fantasy dresses. In the beginning of 2011 I went back to casual and formal gowns… kinda the regular fashion ;)
MB: What do you enjoy doing in Second Life when you are not in creation mode??
KC: At the moment i like to travel around and look for wonderful created sims like Artscreamer and such. Sometimes i like to RP too and write my blogs or foll around in Facebook. AS well i like little browser games to fill some free time.
MB: Can you tell our readers what we can we expect to find in your store?
KC: At the moment woman's fashion, dresses for all occasions, casual, formal and some accessories and shoes.
MB: You do mesh clothing along with *normal* clothing, which do you prefer and why??
KC: Mesh… i learn to to my own mesh prims and a few to sell already. But i still like the "old" stuff like prims and sculpties, even if i like mesh and sculpties the most ;) To mix mesh and layer with flexible prims is a very interesting thing for me right now. I think a flexi skirt or accessories can add a nice touch to an outfit. So to speak i have no special favor, I think all of the together make it :)
MB: If we were to ask your friends what they think of you, what do you think they would say?
KC: Hmm, *smiles* good question! I think i would love to know that too!*laughs* I think everyone will see me different and it is very difficult to guess what people would say about me. I hope it would be something like "kind, helpful and stable"
MB: Could you tell us something we don't know about you and that you would wish to share?
KC: I will keep learning, anyways if mesh or what ever will come. I will always try to improve myself with textures, mesh and all what i can get a hold of as i am never satisfied with my self. So stay tuned what will come ;)
MB: Any last message for the readers?
KC: i wish you all a wonderful time and an exciting hunt. Happy Hunting
Thank you for sharing this moment with us.

Race, Slavery, Violence, Morality
I'm giving a talk on the Age of Exploration to 5th grade teachers this weekend, and was reviewing the focus of the meeting with my host. We came to the place in the talk where I explore the question of morality, and the nature of the tragedy. Historians estimate that the death of the native peoples of America was the largest single demographic tragedy in history — the population may have declined by as much as 90%, primarily due to disease. How do we speak about that — as conquest, as accident, as genocide? The problem, as I see it, is that as there is no simple narrative. As historical fact, the main reason for the immense death was disease, which the Europeans, the Americans, and the Africans who arrived with the Europeans did not understand. The attitudes of the Europeans were in many cases harsh, even exterminationist — but so were the attitudes of, say, the Aztecs towards peoples they enslaved. So there is no single villain, no Hitler, no Stalin, no Mao — and yet there is tragedy. My host encouraged me to explore these difficult gray areas with the teachers. "They are teachers," he said, "be direct."
And yet I hear tell that a controversy blew up at a local high scholl when a teacher suggested that the violence of slave revolts was understanbable — that the murder of white women and children needed to be seen in the context of the experience of black slavery — which one student saw as giving blacks a pass — as if murder was not murder if done by a black slave. This exchange sent ripples through the parents and students. Clearly the student had a very limited perspective — to say that you need to see violence in context does not mean you justify it. The Jews who fought back in the Warsaw Ghetto did what they could, the slaves who revolted did what they could. Sometimes being terrifying is a terrible tactic used not just to exact revenge but to spread fear — there is nothing nice about it, but it is a tactic every group has used. So why did this exchange about violence and morality create tension in a high school community, while I'm being encouraged to open up discussion about violence and morality in middle school?
To put all of this in a different why — what is out of bounds? What kinds of subjects are too hot, too raw, too charged, to bring into classrooms? What is the line between open up kids minds, preparing them to think for themselves, and assaulting them with adult preoccupations they cannot handle? My guess is that the kid who saw the discussion of the slave revolt as a being too easy on the slaves was actually speaking about the present — about how speak to each other now — not about events a century or more in the past. I would love to have been there in that assembly — to get the student to consider what options people have when they have so little control over their lives, and to then lead to the present, and what the current tensions are that would make him so angry about the past. Maybe that is the take away for the talk with elementary students — talking about the difficult past is also about the difficult present, and that is an opportunity, not only a warning.

Three Stripes Cocktail
3 Slices Orange. (3 Slices Orange)
1/3 French Vermouth. (3/4 oz Dolin Dry Vermouth)
2/3 Dry Gin. (1 1/2 oz Corsair Gin)
(Muddle Orange Slices, add ice and…) Shake well and strain into cocktail glass.
A Martini with muddled slices of oranges? Yeah, that's just a bit odd. However, it's not exactly unappealing. In fact I think it is safe to say, I kind of prefer it to an Orange Blossom or Screwdriver, definitely on the dry and refreshing side.
A friend, David Driscoll, gave me this Corsair Gin to try, and I'm not quite sure what to think. While fairly traditional in flavor profile, it's very strongly aromatic. Not at all unpleasant, there is still a little something in the middle flavor sensations that is a bit off putting to me. It seems to be pretty well made, but there is something not as clean as I would like in the expression of the botanicals.
It is interesting that they say they make it in a method similar to Bombay Sapphire, with a "Head" to contain the botanicals instead of a direct steep. Not sure if anyone else in America has experimented with that technique yet.
This post is one in a series documenting my ongoing effort to make all of the cocktails in the Savoy Cocktail Book, starting at the first, Abbey, and ending at the last, Zed.

What the hell?
As I'm coming up on the end of medical school, I started reading old comments on this blog. Some people generate discussion, others criticize, someone else might say something funny, and then there are those times when I read a comment and think to myself, what the hell was he thinking? So now, I present my weirdest comments from the past two years.
By far my most popular post has been about the difficulty in getting into medical school . Despite my constant pleas in which I beg people not to ask me about their individual circumstances-such as "what are my chances of getting into medical school"—I am regularly hit by high school students who clearly know nothing about what doctors do. Calah writes:
So, is it better for a girl to be a doctor or nurse? Nurses make less, for doing the same thing. But, doctors have to go to school for soooo long. Is it worth it? What if u want a family? After you graduate, are doctor and nurses working hours that different, especially if u want a family?
What the hell are you talking about? Doctors and nurses have very different jobs and work different hours. I don't watch many medical TV shows, but does ER tell us that doctors and nurses do the same thing?
Phuong follows up with,
I think that if you truly wanted to be in the medical field, gender doesn't matter. I rather be a doctor, because they make more, and it seems more fun anyways (BTW I'm a girl). I also thought that being in school to be a doc, you'll get out at 30 years old or something. and that sucks….but i think that most doctors, have families, and most of them meet their loved ones while in school or something. That's what i want to do, i would find a guy i like while in school. And don't give up your dreams, cause my LATIN teacher wanted to be a doctor, but she didn't want all the work cause she was already in a relationship, so she became a teacher instead. NOW, she said she wished she could turn back the clock, and become a doctor, cause it's her dream. She told me "don't get married a/f high school, cause it will hinder your chances."
What the hell are you talking about? Just who told you all this? Your Latin teacher? What the hell does your high school foreign language teacher know about being a doctor? And don't give me this, "I was supposed to have been a doctor instead." You just can't up and decide to go to medical school.
Occasionally, I get real firecrackers such as Landon, a high school sophomore who writes,
I am young,but I am very interested in being a Interventional Cardiologist.I am a 16 yrs old 10th grader… I have the money and grades to be one.
Where the hell did you get that idea? I didn't even know what an interventional cardiologist was until I was a medical student. And you certainly don't need money to become a doctor. You just need to make money after you finish medical school to pay back all of those loans.
Another very popular post has been on finding the best college for pre-med studies. Brittany writes in to say,
Medical school is such a challenge. I feel like it is so difficult, and people make it out being such a scary process. I am just a junior in high school, but I feel like I have been stressing out about this every day lately.
Brittany, go into your mother's medical cabinet and find the bottle labeled either Xanax or alprazolam. Take one of those pills and then go outside and play. Another young reader, Kathleen, shows off her optimistic side:
Maybe then I would be able to set aside money saved from attending the public university honors program in order to help pay for the best medical school that I could be admitted to
Just how expensive do you think college is compared to medical school?
As a follow-up to the "best pre-med school" article, I wrote a piece explaining that there's no such thing as a "best medical school." However, that doesn't stop some people. ATWIINE writes,
Arrrggghhhhh… my eyes! What the hell do you think I do all day? This is a personal blog. It's not some kind of Internet charity.
Sometimes, I get readers who like to dispense advice on subjects they know nothing about, similar to the Latin teacher above. Two years ago I wrote a financial analysis of the military's health professions scholarship program. While the information there is outdated because of a substantial boost that the program has received, that didn't stop one dejected father from writing in. Silvanus had to tell me,
my son is a recent undergrad, i was recommending the HPSP to him.
Why the hell would you go and do something like that? Were you in the HPSP program? No? Then don't recommend something if you're not familiar with it.
The primary way that I deal with the stresses of medical school is to inject humor whenever I can. I've written quite a few fake posts over the past two years. However, not everyone gets that I am writing a parody.
I've been asked,
Is this for real?
I provided my e-mail address, would you please sent me information you used to create such a bogus pie graph.
Somebody actually got paid to write this crap?
No, I do it for free. And then there are those who just want to bitch. I've written quite a few rants against psychiatrists. Carrie Nation writes,
Your entire blog is confirmation for me that medical doctors, and the pond scum who hope to be one, are no more valuable to our society than personal injury lawyers and auto insurance brokers.
But my favorite coment came from Danielle, a reader who gave a very long objection to my portrayal of psychiatrists, then admitted that shrinks have personality disorders, and finally preceded to talk about her own bipolar condition.
Finally, a recurring theme on this blog has been the suggestion
I strongly suggest skipping residency and getting an MBA.
But there is that rare occasion where one reader writes and says
nice article… thanks
and it really brightens my day.

We get loads of people in the back office who want to join the trading desk, thinking that it's like using a web-based retail brokerage account. They don't realize that most of the front office have terminal degrees, work 50 hours a week minimum, and are under the constant threat of being fired if a big strategy doesn't work out.
The truth is, most of the high-level professions (medicine, law, academia, technology, finance, accounting, etc.) require an immense amount of dedication. The perception that it takes until the age of 30 to make attending, partner, tenure, whatever is pretty accurate, and that's if the person started the trek at a fairly early age and continued it all the way through.
And as for anyone in high school who wants to know how to prepare now: travel. Get out and tour the world for a few years. And find a hobby, preferably one that requires its own dedication. You'll be better rounded and make wider contacts. Worry about formal education when that time comes.
Michael Rack, MD said,
Nice article….thanks
Enjoy your blog.
BTW, it's "parody" not "parity"
Half M.D.: D'oh! Thanks for the correction.
Kim said,
Ouch. Well, FWIW I always enjoy your posts and happen to heartily agree with you about psychiatrists.
Dan said,
Ha! Best article yet.
I cant tell you how many times I have heard people tell me that they/their kids/cousin etc' are in medical school only to find out that they are in CNA school or getting a BA in psychology. They always ask me why im not done yet…..
Miami_med said,
Be careful about telling high school girls to take Xanax, someone might misconstrue that as medical advice 😉
Allison said,
Ha ha. Nice article, thanks. I just finished up my 2nd year of med school and am studying for that dreaded evil test (STEP I). This made my day.
DUCoM 2013 said,
Most entertaining post yet.
Michael said,
Thanks. I am a 30yo Ph.D. going through his first academic postdoc in physics, seriously considering a late start into a medical career. Why? Job security, better earning prospects than academic research, occupational prestige, and the power to help my fellow man, in roughly that order, depending on the day.
The info you have given has been very helpful to my decision. Please keep it coming!
*Joon* said,
Your post make it seem like psychiatry is a bad choice of speciality. Would you please give a ranking of all the specialities you know about, so it can help me decide, what kind of doctor to be. Thank you 🙂 – Joon
Melissa Dudley said,
This was worth the reading (got a couple laughs out of it). It really brightened my day 🙂 Best of luck to you.
Izzy said,
Hahaha. Loved the article! Many people spend these days being politically correct that this kind of humour has disappeared almost completely.
College Freshman... said,
I hope I meet my husband in med school with the exact same humor and outlook on life as you, halfmd
props to you
Shrinkage factor said,
Rant about psychiatrists all you want (or have you learned a thing or two since you last slung mud at them?), the ER staff are always immensely grateful when we come to take head cases off their hands. As well, we're rather proud that our much-maligned work keeps us a step or three ahead of Bellevue circa 1900. At my hospital, shrinks damn well better do a thorough PE as well as manage a slew of medical conditions, since those with mental illness can throw the average medical floor into chaos. "This person is irrational," the internists/FP's/specialists wail to us. "We don't know what to do with him/her. Please rescue us." And you know what? We do. Some of the staff even say "Thank you for doing what not many of us choose to do" or the equivalent. (But not many. It seems that we're often held personally accountable for the fact that mental illness persists. Irrational thinking, yes, but there's a lot of that going around.)
There's a lot more to be said on psychiatry's behalf. Whatever you're doing as a resident, I hope you've now met a good deal more psychiatrists who worked just as hard as you did for the right and responsibility of signing M.D. after our names. If not, that's a genuine shame.
Wishing you the best of all possible outcomes, whatever path you take in your career.
Jim said,
I won't bother trying to convince you of the merits of the field of psychiatry, but I would like to politely request, on behalf of all of society, that you please not put up barriers to any of your patients accessing psychiatric care. You may feel differently about the merits of psychiatry when one of your patients shoots up a movie theater or school full of kids, or commits a murder/suicide. That being said, if you are comfortable having those things on your conscience, by all means, continue to act as though mental health is irrelevant and psychiatrists don't know anything about talk therapy or treating psychotic patients who are a danger to themselves and others.

Get an overview of Simulink® modeling and simulation capabilities.
Smart Systems drive the technology of daily life.
But how do you implement smart systems efficiently, and with high quality?
For example, a smart wind turbine adapts to wind conditions to optimize power generation.
To make this happen, you need to control blade pitch and yaw, determine gear train sizing, and match electrical demand.
These interconnected components need to be designed together. With Simulink, you can understand and analyze complex systems by simulating block diagrams.
You get your model to simulate by simply pressing the play button.
By stepping back and forth through the simulation you can understand the system behavior and identify errors early.
Simulink's state-of-the-art solvers support the simulation of a broad range of analog, digital, mixed signal, and multi-rate systems.
You can configure your model to have just the right amount of detail for your task. For example, you can use an ideal actuator model to determine sizing requirements, and then switch to a model with hydraulic components to design your embedded software.
You can compare the performance of your algorithm as it evolves to meet your specifications.
Simulink add-on products provide additional capabilities for Model-Based Design.
You can achieve design efficiency using tools specific to controls, signal processing, and communications applications.
From the model, you can generate code to prototype and test in real-time, and deploy onto your embedded system.
Throughout this development process, you continuously verify and validate the design.
Model-Based Design with Simulink – it's transforming the way engineers work.

With its sleek matte chrome finish and triangular lines, the $499 Altec Lansing InAir 5000 should earn favor in style-centric homes. Its minimalist aesthetic does away with wires in favor of Apple's AirPlay wireless standard that quickly connects iOS devices with the touch of a button, and despite carrying the same price tag as an iPad, the InAir 5000 is a worthwhile accessory that can retain your music's clarity and definition through a wireless connection.
Design and features
The InAir 5000 takes up less space on cramped desktops than the Logitech UE Air Speaker thanks to its oblong shape and low-profile chassis. Measuring 7.5 inches tall, 19 inches long, and 6.75 inches deep, the speaker's tapered teardrop design with a chrome strip at the top and matching branding on the grille exudes class and lends itself well to households with a modern aesthetic.
The left side of the speaker houses a subtle control panel hidden behind an opaque plastic window with a button to temporarily put the speaker in a charge-only state (sleep mode), an auxiliary button, a headphone jack, and an auxiliary port for connecting an external music device using a 3.5mm plug. However, Altec Lansing doesn't supply the necessary stereo audio cable to make a hardwired connection, and without a dock to plug new iOS devices into, you'll have to settle on an inelegant cable sticking out from the speaker's left side.
You'll find a symmetrical control panel on the other side of the speaker, but this one holds two buttons for adjusting volume and another that mutes the sound entirely without pausing the track.
The rest of the controls are located on the bottom of the back panel. In a row are a power switch, a 19-volt port for the included power brick adapter, a USB port you'll use only once to pair your iOS device the first time, an Ethernet port for a hard network connection, and a Wi-Fi connect button that re-establishes a connection to all your AirPlay devices as the speaker comes out of sleep mode. Finally, a reset button sits on the far right that you'll use to flash the hardware after firmware updates.
Altec Lansing also includes an infrared remote that you can use to play, pause, adjust volume, and navigate tracks while you play music out of the InAir, though it feels excessive, since you can do all of that directly on the iOS music player itself, which acts as its own remote.
It's also worth noting that if you pause a track using the remote, you can't simply hit the button again to resume playback -- the remote only controls the speaker's functions, so you'll need to return to the source and hit Play there.
The company whittles the iOS pairing process down to the fewest number of steps possible to keep things easy, though you'll need to provide your own USB cable to get things started. You only need to plug it in with a wire once and the speaker will automatically prompt you to download the free installation software from the App Store.
The app is just a catalyst that sniffs out wireless networks in your area and asks for the associated password to initiate the handshake; unlike the UE Air app, this one doesn't have an additional equalizer to adjust bass or treble levels. Once the speaker connects to the same network as your iPhone or iPad, the InAir 5000 will show up as an alternate output source in the music player app.

Apple paid just 2% tax overseas on its profits last year, most US firms pay little to no foreign tax too
posted by Daniel P. / Nov 05, 2012, 3:44 AM
This is done via fairly straightforward and legal accounting maneuvers which almost every US corporation with significant business abroad is utilizing as an obligation to its shareholders not to pay more taxes than the legal minimum.
A survey of how much are lead US companies paying in UK taxes recently found out that Google, Amazon, Starbucks and Facebook paid about 30 million pound sterling to the government coffers on combined sales of 3.1 billion there.
Apple, Google and a lot of other large companies are lobbying the US government to declare amnesty on bringing their overseas profits home, with a minimal punitive tax charge, or their funds will keep sloshing overseas, but there is no positive development for them yet.
Apple is actually one of the few US companies in the table below that disclose the likely tax rate of repatriated profits it would incur, but most US multinationals pay little to no taxes overseas as well, and the law allows them to.

Haha, nobody should be surprised by any of this. Companies want to keep their money for obvious reasons! Wouldn't YOU want to keep your money you were earning?

Apple, Google and a lot of other large companies are lobbying the US government to declare amnesty on bringing their overseas profits home. Is there any doubt why our country is in so a dire state... Companies not paying their fair share, and getting more loop hole privileges on top of that... One governor had the audacity to say that corporations are people too... SMH.

If you knew how a monetary worked you would be outraged by the idea of a corporation paying little to no taxes. Let me give you a small crash course on how a monetary system is supposed to work. this was the original system the American government made back in its founding. Government creates money, money gets distributed via purchases for goods and services, and government re-aquires the money via taxes on business, property, and sales. Corporation until the 20th century were viewed as threats to the political power of US citizen and the founding fathers when they created the US created a charter system. In the charter it says your company is a gift of the american people to the person or group of people starting the Corporation. Corporations did not have the right to own property, they were taxed on capital gains, and they would be forcibly disbanded after a couple of years or their services were unnecessary. Now there is a difference between a corporation and a small business. A small business is something that is privately owned and operated and doesn't have much in the ways of monetary power. A small local apothecary, local store, a tavern, or an Inn. A corporation is a large entinity that is publicly owned and generally pulls profits that rival a GDP of a small nation. Due to the amount of money a corporation could pull the founders of America viewed them as dangerous institutions that left uncheck would steal the rights of the people. The Emancipation proclamation and the new amendments after the civil war saw Corporate lawyers arguing that Corporations have the right of constitutional personhood. it took 200 cases before thy were granted this right. From there it was a corporate campaign to impose the income tax on citizens in favor of the abolishment of taxes on corporations. In short if you like the idea these companies do not have to pay taxes on what they gain then you must love paying taxes on your labour.

And yet I got a threatening letter from the IRS saying if I didn't pay the $230 I owe for my 2011 federal taxes, they were coming g to take my house and car and other properties. While these companies are getting away like this and the government is handing money out left and right for people who won't get a damn job and stop having g kids, I get threatened over just $230. How f'n sad is that, they wonder why no real hard working American want to file and/or pay their taxes because how were the ones getting screwed. Here's my big F U to our government.

Grace loves to write commentaries on psycho-cultural and sociocultural dynamics te their myriad forms.
Te This Postmodern Sexualized Culture, Adult Virgins are Considered to be Rearwards
An adult cherry is defined spil a cherry who is ter hier/his 20s and older. When people think of adult virgins today, there is a stereotype of a plain, spinsterish, often devoutly traditionally religious female who dresses sternly and has a dour outlook on life. If the person is masculine, he is seen spil either a moeder's boy, repressed loner, or an oddly dressed geek.
Many people see the adult cherry spil sexually immature and with psychosexual issues. There are even articles which suggest that the adult cherry needs sexual counselling, sexual surrogates, and even a excursion to an escort service to "loosen their sexual inhibitions". It is the societal view that adult virgins are not "regular".
Well the abovementioned is often far from the truth. Albeit there are a few adult virgins who are sexually repressed, the majority are not. Many adult virgins are attractive people deliriously blessed with their situation and lead active dating lives.
Only a few adult virgins, by their own admission, stated that they needed outside help ter the sexual kampplaats to cure their inhibitions. Being an adult cherry is a frecuente lifestyle choice. It seems to be an unwritten rule te society that being an adult means to be sexually active. If an adult is not sexually active, she/he is to be pitied and ostracized.
Many adult virgins have friends who believe that something is gravely with them because they elected not to have sexual affairs and/or relationships. People often look ter bewilderment when a person exposes that they are an adult cherry. It is often voiced that by the time a person is te their late teenagers, virginity should be a thing of the past and that sexual relationships should be a part of life.
Albeit slew of people have sexual affairs and/or relationships beginning te their late teenagers, some people choose to wait until they are ready to engage ter sexual affairs and/or relationships. There are many reasons why people are adult virgins. The reasons vary from adhering to traditional religious morals regarding waiting until marriage to indulge ter sexual relations, to viewing lovemaking spil a bounty to be collective with only a few special paramours to ultimately plainly not wanting to have hookup at that particular ogenblik.
With the media person indulging ter sexual relationships, an adult cherry is abruptly viewed spil an aberration. The reasoning is that the adult cherry has to have sexual relations to be seen spil a finish woman/man and to be habitual. I read a book regarding what studs think about female sexiness and one man stated that adult female virgins were sexually at a child's level and were not adults.
This man further stated that he would never date an adult female cherry. Some fellows are turned off by the adult female cherry who they believe "have relationship and sexual issues". Not so long ago te an Anne Lander's katern, an adult cherry female lamented that she hardly went out on dates because she exposed hier cherry status and studs were waterput off by that. Adult female virgins are often not seen spil desirable ter modern society but seen spil old prudish maidens.
Adult masculine virgins have a more difficult time being accepted than adult female virgins To be a man means to have a myriad of sexual relationships. If a masculine exposes to his friends that he is an adult cherry, he is seen spil being effeminate, a little boy, or a sexually repressed ogre. Some women often deride an adult masculine cherry, believing that something has to be gravely wrong with him.
Think of the movie, THE 40 YEAR OLD Cherry, te which the main character is derided because he is a cherry overheen the "normally accepted" age range. Adult masculine virgins are often seen spil "losers" ter modern society. Sometimes tv-programma articles suggested that he "should get laid" to "get rid of his predicament bondage". Adult masculine virgins are sometimes called the pejorative word for sodomita because he chooses not to be sexually active.
Hook-up is one of an significant opzicht of life. However, it is not the being all or end all ter life. There are lots of fulfilling activities to do te life. To reiterate, adult virgins of both sexes lead fulfilling and active social lives. They are not to be derided but to be respected ter their lifestyle choice.

DOVER, NH -- Although World Gym's new key-card club model is open 24 hours, seven days a week, its name, World Gym 1440 All Axcess, doesn't initially seem to imply that. That is, until you understand that there are 1,440 minutes in a day.
World Gym is entering the world inhabited by around-the-clock club companies such as Snap Fitness and Anytime Fitness, which were recently ranked No. 1 and No. 3, respectively, on Franchise Market Magazine's top 100 new franchise list.
"We didn't want to say 24/7 or key club or 24-hour club," says Ben Midgley, World Gym president. "We didn't want one of those terms that is kind of being beat up. We've been looking for a way to keep World in that urban, edgy feel. It's about taking the World brand name and bringing it out more rapidly into the industry. You're taking an internationally recognized brand name and wrapping it around a proven concept."
After word got out last month about the new World Gym key-card model, World Gym sent a letter to its World Gym owners and managers explaining the new model. World Gym can help franchisees save money, Midgley says, by getting favorable pricing on equipment. World Gym also can provide better warranties, he adds, because of World Gym's volume purchasing.
"We have complete marketing support built into the plans for these folks in their operating model," Midgley says. "We're basically 100 percent sure we can give operators a better profit-making model than any of the other competing 24-hour or key-card models can."
The franchise fee for a World Gym access club costs $6,500, Midgley says. The royalty schedule starts at $250 per month and can scale up to $1,000 per month, provided the club's EFT meets certain levels, Midgley adds.
"It works out to be less expensive than any other model," he says.
The World Gym key-club model can be placed wherever the demographics can support the club, even in the same territory as a traditional World Gym model, Midgley says. As far as giving traditional World Gym franchisees the option to open an access model within their own territory, it depends on the territory, he adds.
"Some [territories] are protected, some are not, but we will always think of our existing franchisees first," Midgley says.
The first World Gym key-card club could open as early as the end of this month, says Midgley, who adds that World Gym has close to 10 franchise agreements for the access model. World Gym expects to have 100 access clubs open by this time next year, which would bring the total number of World Gyms to more than 360.
"We're pretty excited," Midgley says. "I didn't know 100 percent how well it would take off. I didn't think it would jump off this quickly. I think people wanted to see a bigger brand name come in and do this. But that will have to prove itself out."
Planet Fitness bought World Gym last year. Since the Planet Fitness/World Gym information forum in September in Las Vegas, communication between World Gym executives and franchisees has improved on a daily basis, Midgley says.
The World Gym access model will average about 3,500 square feet, and membership rates will be about $30 per month, Midgley says. The World Gym access model is not an attempt by the company to be more like the Planet Fitness, $10-per-month model, Midgley adds. It is, however, an attempt to keep pace with the trend set by other key-card club models.
"Is the key club the model of the future? Not necessarily," Midgley says. "But is it a model that any franchisee can take advantage of? Of course. You can make just as much or more money from the key club model or several of them as you could from the primary club."
World Gym has other marketing opportunities in the works, Midgley says, including a World Gym supplement line and a line of World Gym equipment.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Jack Greene, a longtime Grand Ole Opry star who earned fame with the hit "There Goes My Everything," has died in Nashville at 83.
The song showed off his deep voice, made him a star and earned him the single of the year and male vocalist of the year awards from the Country Music Association in 1967.
Grand Ole Opry spokeswoman Jessie Schmidt said Friday that Greene died in his sleep Thursday night at home from complications of Alzheimer's disease.
Greene performed regularly on the Grand Ole Opry beginning in 1967.
His other hits, mostly in the late 1960s, included "All the Time," "Are My Treasure," "Until My Dreams Come True," "What Locks the Door" and "Statue of a Fool."
He was nominated for a Grammy award for three straight years.
"There was a whirlwind of events," he recalled in a 1992 Associated Press interview. "I'd go from one town to another, one radio station to another, one event to another. It was the highlight of my career."
His "There Goes My Everything" even spawned a competing pop version by Englebert Humperdinck.
"I had letters by the thousands from people who had lost loved ones," he said about the reaction to his song. "It touched a lot of people's lives."
In the late 1960s and early 1970s, Greene recorded duet hits with Jeannie Seely including, "Wish I Didn't Have to Miss You."
He was a native of Maryville, Tenn., where he started in radio at WGAP.
He was a singer-guitarist who played bass and drums in various groups, then got his break when Country Music Hall of Famer Ernest Tubb hired him to be drummer for his band in the early 1960s.

More than 100 paper hearts are taped to a wall in an office in the Cleveland County Courthouse. Each one symbolizes a child currently represented by Cleveland County�s Guardian ad Litem program who does not have a volunteer to represent them.
More than 100 paper hearts are taped to a wall in an office in the Cleveland County Courthouse. Each one symbolizes a child currently represented by Cleveland County�s Guardian ad Litem program who does not have a volunteer to represent them.
A Guardian ad Litem is a trained community volunteer who is appointed by a district court judge to be an advocate for children in court.
�We are appointed to every case of abuse and neglect where there�s a petition for custody,� said Dawn Stover, Cleveland County�s Guardian ad Litem program director.
Stover, a Rutherford County native, graduated from Gardner-Webb University in 2001 with her degree in criminal justice.
According to Stover, her involvement with Guardian ad Litem was �almost accidental.�
She wanted to work in law enforcement, but as a single parent, she couldn�t work the hours required for the job. Instead, Stover found herself working with the Department of Social Services.
Through her work with DSS, Stover found out about the Guardian ad Litem program and decided to get involved. After three and a half years at DSS, she became the program supervisor for Cleveland County�s Guardian ad Litem program.
In November 2011, Kelsie Costner joined Stover as an additional program supervisor. Stover focuses on volunteer training and recruitment, while both women handle cases and supervise about 40 volunteers.
Volunteers are vital to the Guardian ad Litem program.
�We need more volunteers,� Stover said. �In order to have the case coverage that we need, we need at least 25 more volunteers.�
How does it work?
Volunteers must go through an application and interview process and then complete a 30-hour training program before they can take on cases.
After the initial training, each volunteer is paired with a child or sibling group and follows their case until it is resolved. They typically spend four to eight hours a month visiting with their kids, attending court, making phone calls and submitting court reports.
Cleveland County volunteers work with Guardian ad Litem attorney Carol Walsburger to represent each child or sibling group when they go to court.
According to Stover, the program is successful because �we have judges that believe in the program.�
Cleveland County judges heavily rely on the information provided to them by Guardian ad Litem volunteers.
�The judges can make more informed decisions on the child�s well-being,� Stover said.
Guardian ad Litem is celebrating its 30th anniversary in North Carolina, and they need volunteers more than ever
�It is an opportunity for our community to represent our children," Stover said.

I want to get involved, who should I contact?
Dawn Stover, program supervisor, can be reached at email@example.com or 704-476-7821.
Who are some of the volunteers?
Rod Clouse
Rod Clouse has been a Guardian ad Litem volunteer for about 14 months. After he retired, he was looking for ways to have an impact on the community, so he attended the annual Connect, Commit to Change event and found out about Guardian ad Litem.
Clouse�s first case is coming close to conclusion, and he is looking forward to seeing one case come full circle.
Mitzi Price
Mitzi Price, of Shelby, has been a Guardian ad Litem volunteer for a little more than a year. Although she has always enjoyed working with children through church and at school, she thought that it would take too much time or that it would be emotionally draining. However, Price has found it to be precisely the opposite.
�I find it to be a very rewarding experience," she said.
Price has seen one case all the way through to completion, and is currently working on a case that involves two children.
�Over 100 children need a Guardian ad Litem. They�re greatly underserved right now.�
Jerret Fite
Jerret Fite became a Guardian ad Litem volunteer �kind of on accident.� He knew that he wanted to volunteer with children and originally wanted to get involved with a mentorship program. However, when he found out about Guardian ad Litem, he knew he wanted to get involved.
The Kings Mountain man enjoys getting to experience the innocence of children, even knowing the backdrop of their family life. He has been a volunteer for two years and is currently working on his third case.
Fite would strongly encourage those interested in becoming a Guardian ad Litem to pursue it, however, he cautions would-be volunteers to make sure they have enough time before they commit.
�It takes some dedication to the program�some people don�t have the time," he said.
Diane Dooley
Diane Dooley has only been a Guardian ad Litem volunteer since February, but so far, she �likes it a lot.�
When she retired from the school system, Dooley felt that she needed a purpose, so she decided to volunteer with Guardian ad Litem. She is working on her first case, which involves two children.
Dooley enjoys �getting to know the young people and establishing a relationship with them.�
She would strongly encourage people to become a Guardian ad Litem volunteer.
�They only have so many volunteers, and they need support,� she said. �Anyone can do it.�
