PHILADELPHIA — Club Industry East attendees learned about the key issues that make a difference between surviving and thriving during a panel discussion June 9 at the conference in Philadelphia.
Terry Dezzutti, CEO of Merritt Athletic Clubs; Ed Trainor, vice president of fitness for Town Sports International; Gwen Foster, fitness czar for the city of Philadelphia; and Rob Goldman, vice president of sport and fitness for the Columbia Association, discussed topics such as technology, membership retention, international franchising, Baby Boomers and the relationship between the fitness industry, medical community and insurance industry.
The Club Industry East conference drew 2,252 attendees and 113 exhibitors for the three-day show in June. Attendees could sit in on 86 seminars or six full-day sessions.
Michael Scott Scudder's presentations on two topics of interest — franchising and competing with low-priced clubs — attracted about 50 attendees. His franchising seminar discussed the ins and outs of franchising for those interested in franchising their clubs or becoming a franchisee.
"Franchising will have a tremendous influence on this industry," Scudder predicted. "Every industry in its maturity is influenced by franchising."
In "How to Compete with $19 a Month Clubs," Scudder offered ideas for evaluating whether a club should join the value-priced ranks or set themselves apart based on service and offerings. He also offered ideas for cutting expenses to help a club owner compete.
Wayne Wescott, research director for the South Shore YMCA, delivered a series of presentations on the latest strength training research, and Jasmine Jafferali of the East Bank Club discussed how to bridge the gap between health care and fitness.
During the keynote address, Dr. Nicholas DiNubile, who coined the term, "boomeritis," said that 15 years ago, the common cold was the number one reason Americans went to the doctor. Today, musculoskeletal concerns top the list.
"We've added more years to the human lifespan, but there's a mismatch between longevity versus durability," he said. "We've outworn our warranty on the human frame."
On the exhibit floor, a few facilities were looking for a few good men (and women). Xsport, a Chicago-based chain of clubs, sought personal trainers, managers and other staff for clubs it is building in the Northeast. The Jewish Community Center of North America also exhibited looking for staff.
Several companies used the trade show floor to launch new products for the fitness industry. Advanced Fitness Technology introduced to the health club industry its I-Form equipment, which is a cable-system equipment with a computerized personal training system that demonstrates how to perform certain strength exercises.
Vitabot demonstrated its nutrition-based, whole-food online meal-planning system, which can help ensure members are getting the nutrients needed for a balanced diet and can help members lose weight.
Aqualogix unveiled its line of balls and fins for water-based fitness classes and personal training.

Nokia's vice president Bryan Biniak: "We are trying to evolve the cultural thinking [at Microsoft] to say 'time is of the essence'. Waiting until the end of your fiscal year when you need to close your targets, doesn't do us any good when I have phones to sell today." Later Biniak adds: "As a company we don't want to rely on somebody else and sit and wait for them to get it right." There was a simple solution to this problem.


text:
My night began in Coldshire where Garbanzo was running a few errands out of Anvilmar Inn.
Bald, green moustache, cool blue eyes, Garbanzo put down troll after troll of the Frostmane Tribe. Seems they'd made off with some parts and such from the clumsy gnome in Anvilmar Inn. "Dude! Wipe the grease off your hands and keep a grip on them. Or next time get them yourself!"
But it proved a good opportunity to get out and practice my mage skills. Very effective at level 4 let me say.
Fun as that might have been, the Molton Core was calling a certain Tauren Shaman I know, and Garbanzo retired for the night.
It at long last happened. A random epic world drop.
There I was, waiting for the guild to assemble in Kargath and I was just out in the Badlands gathering herbs and killing scalding whelps there in Lethlor Ravine.
The Scalding Whelps will actually drop a small pet whelp and that's what I was hoping for. They sell very well in the Auction House.
But it was not to be.
And here's where good karma paid off for me.
See, on the way to the Ravine, rather than kill a Night Elf Hunter I'd ran across on the way to the Ravine, I stopped but did not kill her. Instead, I killed the 3 creatures that were attacking her. She appeared to have died anyway and I was rather disappointed. I hadn't saved her. But then I noticed one of the cats still fighting the other and it had two lines in it's name. Do hunters not realize feign death does not fool anyone when their pet remains there? Perhaps she feigned to avoid death at the jaws of the creatures. Anyway her cat and I killed the attacking mobs and I left her after bowing graciously. As I loped away in Ghost Wolf form (I can gather herbs in that form, very handy) I looked over my shoulder saw her stand back up. My Worg Pup announces my level for those in-the-know.
A little later, in the Ravine, after I'd killed a few Scalding Whelps I saw a mounted rider go past. A level 50 Priest. Human. An Honor Kill. I mounted up and set out to follow. But as I neared her, ready to leap off and cast a slowing Frostshock, I reconsidered. I wasn't going to take the easy kill, for a single HK. For what? One HK? I can dozens of HK's with just a little time in the Battlegrounds. Why kill one Priest? Let her live. Maybe she'll show mercy on the next Horde character who's path she crosses.
I merely followed her a bit more, up a gulley in the side hills and waved. I then rode on to continue on the Whelps. In a small gully right next to where the Priest was I saw another Alliance player. I caught the name, the double red line is such a giveaway in contested lands, but paid no mind to the class or level. I wasn't going to engage anyway and instead moved on.
So I wound up back in the Ravine killing more whelps. The priest rides out of the Ravine. Then a level 60 Alliance player rode out, and this was the one that was near her earlier. Had I attacked her, he right there and both together might have imposed somewhat on my survivability. What comes around goes around.
A few more whelps and another Night Elf rode past. This one was level 43 or so. I saw him after he'd ridden past, and then saw him suddenly stop. Without turning to me I did see him pause and his mount shrugged. I figure he was analyzing the situation. A moment later he rode on. I guess the skull in my level frightened him off. Lesson: Always inspect your opponent first, before attacking. If he's ?? or Skull to you, best just move on, quickly. I ignored him and continued with the Great Whelp Slaughter. (I will say being level 60 has it's advantages sometimes. Soloists tend to leave you alone.)
And then I killed another whelp.
And then the miracle. A first for me in a little over a year playing. A random epic world drop.
I think, for sparing these folks tonight, and being helpful as I could, I was at last rewarded with an epic drop.
Alas, it's of no use to me now. My wife's shaman is a few levels yet from using it, but the money it might earn in the Auction House has me wanting to sell it. That'll definitely buy some fancy blue items for her and my alts here on Smolderthorn.
- On reconsideration whether this Karma earned me the staff, the other night, as I moved to join my raid into Black Rock Depths to get some guildmates Attuned for Molton Core, I'd entered the area, made my way down the chain, and then proceeded all the way to the back where the BRD entrance is. After I passed the Blood Elf, and heading to the hallway, I caught sight of a level 54 Alliance player killing a dwarf. I kept going since my raid had already started. That one Alliance player turned into ten players, and I thought to myself, "Uh oh." I wasn't going to accomplish anything against them, I, as I'd already intended anyway, continued to run onward. Halfway down the tunnel one of the Black Iron Dwarves attacked me, not the Alliance players though. This dwarf managed to daze me and I slowed to a walk. Then it netted me. I could outrun this trouble I knew so I ignored it and continued on. Then came the dreaded Hunters Mark. One of the Alliance hunters was 1) preparing to kill me, 2) urging me onward, or 3) wishing me godspeed, and providing me incentive. Then came another net from the accursed dwarf. The Alliance players never moved in, and the dwarf eventually lost me as I entered the BRD instance. We got our guys attuned and there was great rejoicing. Maybe I'd already taken out a loan against the Karma I was going to earn. ---
The raid to Molton Core was fun. We already had 4 of the bosses down and today we attempted the Baron Geddon.
Darkhoof in Molton Core. Just before the battle with Geddon.
As you might know, the Core Hounds stop spawning after you kill Magmadan. The Lava Surgers stop spawning after you kill someone else. Some Rock guys stop spawning after killing Garr. So we simply had Molton Giants, Fire Lords, and Rock Annhilators to get through on our way to meet Baron Geddon.
The battle was fun. Every now and then the word goes out: "Darkhoof, you're the bomb." That of course is my cue to turn around and run to the back wall of the cave where I know I will explode. If the 3200 points of damage doesn't kill you, the fall from a great height will. Hence the trick is to run to the back wall, where the cieling is low, and explode by yourself there. The blast won't lift high enough to hurt you there. And if you can survive the 3200 hit, you can survive being the bomb. Alas, the Baron survived the encounter, but only after giving up valuable experience and lessons to us. Next time, as is the guilds habit, he'll go down.

Correction: Obit-Stranahan story
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — In a story that moved June 25, The Associated Press reported erroneously that Frank Stranahan lost in the championship match of the 1954 U.S. Amateur to Arnold Palmer. Stranahan lost to Palmer in the fifth round.
A corrected version of the story is below:
Frank Stranahan, amateur great, dies at 90
Frank Stranahan, British Amateur champion and fitness pioneer, dies at 90
Frank Stranahan, the premier amateur of his era who contended for majors and was the first notable player to make fitness a regimen in golf, has died. He was 90.
Stranahan, who died Sunday in Hospice of Palm Beach County, was regarded as the best amateur since Bobby Jones. Quattlebaum Funeral Home, which did not disclose his cause of death, said a memorial service was planned July 2.
The son of a wealthy industrialist family in Ohio — his father was the founder of Champion Spark Plug — Stranahan combined a life of privilege with his devotion to golf to win more than 50 amateur titles, including multiples wins in the British Amateur, Western Amateur and North and South Amateur.
The one title that eluded him was the U.S. Amateur. He lost in the fifth round to Arnold Palmer in the 1954 U.S. Amateur, and then turned pro. Stranahan, who packed barbells in his suitcase to work out on the road, won six times on the PGA Tour, twice as a pro. His biggest win was the 1958 Los Angeles Open.
As an amateur, he was a runner-up in the 1947 Masters to Jimmy Demaret, finished one shot behind Fred Daly at Hoylake in the 1947 British Open and was a runner-up to Ben Hogan at Carnoustie in the 1953 British Open.
"He was my old buddy," Palmer said Tuesday from his office in Latrobe, Pa. "We were pretty close for a lot of years. He always thought I would be one of his guys and do the muscle thing and all that. And of course, we played against each other a lot. He was a great guy, a good friend. He played some very good golf."
Stranahan was devoted to fitness as much as his golf.
He ran in more than 100 marathons, and he was winning trophies for body building and weightlifting well into his 70s. One video shows Stranahan celebrating his 78th birthday with a dead lift of 265 pounds.
Stranahan was born Aug. 5, 1922, and grew up a sportsman at Inverness in Toledo, Ohio, where he was taught by Byron Nelson, who had been hired as the head pro shortly before Nelson won the 1939 U.S. Open. Stranahan was still a teenager when he won the Ohio Amateur in 1941.
"I would say my greatest accomplishment as an amateur was having the opportunity to play in so many of those wonderful golf tournaments," Stranahan said in a 2001 interview with the Toledo Blade. "At every tournament, they put me with the winner from the week before. So I was always playing with Demaret, Snead, Locke, Hogan and other tremendous champions. I was playing the best courses with the best players, and it was very satisfying to do well in those situations."
He tied with Nelson in the 1947 Masters, where Stranahan closed with a 68 to finish two shots behind. His best chance at a major was Hoylake that summer, when he went into the final round one shot behind Daly and matched his 72. Six years later, he closed with a 69 to finish in a tie for second at Carnoustie, four shots behind Hogan.
In one of the more famous tales involving Stranahan, he was not allowed to compete in the 1948 Masters when he was accused of hitting more than one shot into the greens during the practice round. Stranahan said he was only hitting additional putts on the green, which was allowed. No matter. He said club officials revoked his invitation.
"So I bought a ticket, and I stayed there," Stranahan said in a 1998 interview with Sports Illustrated.
He played the next year and tied for 19th.
Stranahan retired from competition in 1964, though he left quite a mark. Beyond his results, he cut an impressive figure with his movie star looks and physique that he enjoyed showing off in tight-fitting shirts. Palmer referred to him as "Muscles."
"He used to carry his weights in a suitcase," Palmer said. "He'd get the bellman to carry the luggage to his room, but it was so heavy they couldn't lift it."
Stranahan married the former Ann Williams in 1953. She became an accomplished amateur golfer until her death in 1975 from cancer. They had three sons — Frank Stranahan Jr., who died in 1966 at age 11 from bone cancer; and James, who died in 1977. Stranahan is survived by his third son, Lance.

Entertainment company's rise from humble roots continues with power move to take control of NBC.
PHILADELPHIA — Ralph Roberts knew he was onto something big when people ran after his cable TV trucks in Tupelo, Miss., asking for a visit to their homes.
It was 1963. Roberts had been looking for new ventures after selling his belt-and-suspenders company. He bought American Cable Systems for $500,000 — an opportunity that had been mentioned to him by a business acquaintance he came across while strolling down a Philadelphia street.
American Cable Systems, which served 1,200 subscribers, was one of many independent companies arising at the dawn of the cable TV industry: It strung up cable to carry television broadcasts to homes that couldn't get clear reception over the free airwaves.
"It just looked to me like a wonderful business. Without doing too much, you just put up an antenna, ran some cables and people paid you $5 a month "� to bring in TV stations," he said in a corporate video produced this year. "It's marvelous because people love TV, and more is better."
Today the descendant of that small cable system — Comcast Corp. — still believes people want more TV. And Comcast might be about to get lots of it.
Comcast, the dominant television provider on the Cape, is close to sealing a deal to take control of NBC Universal from General Electric Co. in a transaction ultimately expected to be worth $30 billion. If regulators approve, Comcast would be one of the nation's largest entertainment companies.
It would be a way for Comcast to further diversify beyond its main business of selling cable TV subscriptions. But it would be a huge gamble for Roberts and his soft-spoken son, Comcast CEO Brian Roberts. Their family owns about 4 percent of Comcast shares and controls a third of the voting power.
"Brian and Ralph are the best father-son combo since Archie Manning and the two Manning quarterback sons," said Reed Hundt, a former Federal Communications Commission chairman, who has known the Robertses since 1994. He credits Comcast's success to the way the father handed the reins to his son in an orderly fashion.
Ralph Roberts, now 89, grew his cable business by buying similar companies. In 1969, he incorporated Comcast back home in Pennsylvania and named the company for the combination of the words "communications" and "broadcast."
Comcast didn't begin to balloon in size until the son, who had started in the business by climbing utility poles to string cable, was appointed president in 1990. In 2002 Comcast spent $47.5 billion for AT&T's cable division and became the nation's largest cable TV provider.
Now Comcast has 24 million subscribers in 39 states and Washington, D.C. This year, Comcast became the nation's largest provider of Internet access. It is the third-biggest carrier of phone service, just four years after offering that product. And befitting its larger ambitions, it is majority owner of the Philadelphia 76ers and the Philadelphia Flyers and has a stake in the historic Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer movie studio.
One of Brian Roberts' early mentors was his college squash coach Al Molloy, who pushed him to excel. This summer, Roberts was part of the U.S. squash team that won a silver medal at the Maccabiah Games in Israel, a competition for Jewish athletes. His team has won the gold in past years. Roberts, 50, also finished his first triathlon this year.
Roberts, who declined interview requests for this story, credits Molloy for giving him the gumption to ask Microsoft Corp.'s Bill Gates to invest in Comcast. Gates gave him $1 billion in 1997 after Roberts snagged the billionaire's interest while seated next to him at a dinner surrounded by older, seasoned cable executives.
"When I asked Bill Gates for that money, that was Al whispering, 'Go for it, take your shot," Brian Roberts told Sports Illustrated in 2000. "Do whatever you have to do to win."
Two years later, Roberts would add the title of chief executive. In 2004, he became chairman of Comcast, the same year he launched a $54 billion hostile bid for Walt Disney Co.
Back then, as it is today with NBC Universal, Brian Roberts smelled weakness. Disney CEO Michael Eisner was in danger of being ousted over the company's flagging performance. At first, Roberts tried to get Eisner to back a friendly takeover, but it didn't work. Disney's board rallied around keeping the company independent. Comcast shareholders also didn't show much enthusiasm. In April 2004, two months after mounting the takeover attempt on Disney, Comcast walked away.
Comcast wanted Disney's programming and cable networks, especially the valuable ESPN, which cable providers such as Comcast must pay to show to their subscribers.
Now Roberts would get a similar opportunity with NBC Universal, which owns profitable channels such as CNBC, Bravo and USA. Comcast saw its opportunity after the financial meltdown devastated GE's financing unit, GE Capital, forcing the company to try to raise cash.
Comcast has made no secret of its desire to own more programming content to supplement its cable distribution system, which faces increasing competition from satellite TV, phone companies and the Internet. Comcast has bought or created such cable networks as E! Entertainment, Style, Versus and The Golf Channel. It launched several regional sports networks and has chased premium sports rights to challenge those enjoyed by satellite TV provider DirecTV Group Inc., which carries a package of NFL games. Comcast tried but failed a few years ago to get eight live NFL games a year on Versus.
Owning more of what it carries means Comcast can profit from creating programs and reselling them in an increasing number of formats — including online and in video-on-demand services.
But other cable providers aren't so sure they need to own so much media content. The risks of such a big maneuver help explain why Comcast shares have lost about 9 percent since the NBC Universal talks leaked on Sept. 30, reducing the company's market value by $4 billion.
Time Warner Cable, spun off this year from Time Warner Inc., is satisfied to be distributing cable TV and moving on from the content-plus-distribution dreams that drove the disastrous AOL-Time Warner deal.
Other cable providers are diversified beyond being mere pipes, but not on the scale Comcast seeks. For instance, Cablevision Systems Corp. owns New York sports teams and the Newsday newspaper but appears to have no plans to expand beyond its Long Island roots.
The only other cable executive to have shown similar ambition is John Malone, former CEO of Tele-Communications Inc. — a predecessor to the AT&T unit that Comcast bought. Malone is now chairman of Liberty Media Corp., an investment firm that controls DirecTV. But while Malone is thought of as a consummate dealmaker, Roberts' steps come off as less about him than about Comcast.
"I think ego is a very small part of it," said Peter Fader, marketing professor at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School, the Comcast CEO's alma mater. "He thinks it's good business."

Disney hiked its theme park prices this summer, raising one-day, single-park tickets over the $90 threshold. But that doesn't mean you can't find a deal.
Just ask Tom and Sarah Bricker who travel from Indianapolis to Florida and California about 10 times a year to go to Disney World and Disneyland. They've also been to Disney DIS, -1.05% parks in Tokyo — their favorite — and Paris.
"It's not that difficult to find discounts," says Tom Bricker, 28, who's been taking these annual treks to Disney parks with Sarah, 26, since 2006. "The easiest way to start is by requesting travel information from Disney," he adds. "Periodically they'll send you different discounts. But you can also learn about various discounts by being part of the online Disney communities."
In June, in what has become an annual price hike for Disney properties, the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Fla., upped its one-day admission to the Magic Kingdom more than 6% to $95 for adult tickets and $89 for children ages 3 to 9. Single-day tickets to its other Florida parks, Epcot, Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom, rose to $90. Tickets for children ages 3 to 9 are $84. Add the park-hopper option to have access to all four parks and it is another $59 a day per person.
At Disneyland in Anaheim, Calif., a single-day, single park adult ticket climbed 5% to $92 from $87. Add a one-day park hopper to go from Disneyland Park to Disney California Adventure Park and the price is $137 for adults.
Ticket prices fall the more days you tack on to the trip. A four-day theme park ticket to Disney World with the park hopper will run almost $360, or roughly $90 a day. A five-day theme park ticket with a hopper will set you back nearly $371, or $74 a day.
A better per-day deal is the 10-day theme park ticket with a park hopper at almost $424 each, or about $42 a day. The tickets must be used within 14 days of the first use unless you purchase a "no expiration" option that will add an extra $130-$150 to the price.
The Brickers have an annual pass, which they bought before the price hikes. Plan to fork over nearly $670 for a premium annual passport, which gives you access to any of the parks in California or Florida for an entire year, with no blackout dates. A deluxe annual passport is cheaper at almost $500 but has block-out dates, like Saturdays during the summer and over holidays like the 4th of July, Thanksgiving and Christmas. Both passes offer merchandise and dining discounts of 10% to 20%.
Because they're regulars, the Brickers' per-day ticket price drops to about $15, he says. "You're not going to find any place to visit in the real world that is going to cost that little," Bricker adds.
Though he bought the annual pass directly from Disney, he tells people to shop through reputable third-party brokers for better ticket prices. Undercovertourist.com, for example, is a "Disney selected" ticket broker that offers single-digit discounts on tickets and up to 50% off on car rentals. The five-day theme-park ticket runs for $349.95, roughly $20 off the gate price.
The Orlando Tourism Bureaus's VisitOrlando.com site is offering a four-day theme park and hopper package with a fifth day free for $335. An AAA membership comes with discount prices for tickets and vacation packages.
Beware of fly-by-night brokers who line the streets near Disney World and Disneyland and even sellers on sites like eBay and craigslist.com. Because tickets are nonrefundable, many of these aren't legitimate tickets — and Disney doesn't feel pity for those who get scammed.
Disney offers plenty of vacation "deals" that Bricker says to explore with caution. The "free" dining package, for example, could be great if you're a big family of big eaters, but you sacrifice a hotel discount in the process. Most packages are merely a sum of the parts bundled together without any discounts.
There are plenty of blogs and websites to help you navigate the massive parks. Bricker, who proposed to his wife on the beach of the Polynesian Resort at Disney World, runs Disneytouristblog.com, on which he posts tips on discounts, dining, planning, even taking on Disney with kids, though he doesn't have any.

The son of God, christianity
Example :
Then a poor, innocent girl came through the forest. Her heart was pure, and her understanding was glorious with faith. Her only inheritance was an old Bible, but from its pages the voice of God spoke to her: "If people wish to do you evil, remember the story of Joseph. They had evil in their hearts, but God turned it to good. If you suffer wrong, if you are despised and misunderstood, then you must remember the words of Him who was purity and goodness itself, and who prayed for those who struck Him and nailed Him to the cross. 'Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do!' "
She stopped before the wondrous plant, whose great leaves gave forth sweet and refreshing fragrance and whose flowers glowed in the sun like a wonderful firework of color. And from each flower there came a sound as though it held concealed within itself a deep well of melody that thousands of years would not empty. With devout gratitude the girl gazed on this exquisite work of the Creator and bent down one of the branches, that she might examine the flower and breathe in its sweetness; and a lovely light burned in her soul. It seemed to uplift her heart, and she wanted to pluck a flower, but she had not the heart to break one off, for she knew it would soon fade if she did. So she took only a single green leaf, carried it home, and there she pressed it in between the pages of her Bible; and it lay there quite fresh, always green, and never fading.
It was kept in the pages of that Bible, and with that Bible it was placed under the girl's head when, some weeks thereafter, she lay in her coffin. On her gentle face was the solemn peace of death, as if the earthly remains carried the imprint of the truth that she now was in the presence of her Creator.

Tuesday, March 05, 2013 - Lukas, Rudy and Samuel - CZECH UP
Latest Sets at WilliamHiggins.com
Samuel Herzog has a problem with something on his ass so he goes to see Dr Rudy Bodlak and his assistant Lukas Pribyl. When Samuel arrives Lukas tells him to get undressed. Then Lukas gets the doctor ready to see the patient. Samuel strips to his underwear and lays on the bed. Rudy then proceeds to inspect Samuel's ass, lifting the leg of his underwear. He seems to find something and cleans the area before marking it with a board marker. Lukas is then instructed to remove Samuel's underwear. He does just that but finds that Samuel's cock is rock hard. He pushes it back between Samuel's legs as he tells the doctor about the problem. Rudy decideds that the pressure build up in Samuel's cock needs to be addressed before he can continue. So Lukas begins to wank on that cock and then Samuel turns onto his back so the cock is fully available and Lukas starts to suck on it. Rudy drops his pants and reveals that his dick is throbbing too and presents it to Samuel for sucking. Rudy then loses his shirt too, as Samuel continues to suck him. Lukas opens his pants and pulls out his dick, also rock hard and Samuel takes a turn on sucking that as well. Lukas and Rudy kiss as Samuel sucks each of them in turn. Then Rudy climbs on top of Samuel so they can 69 as Lukas wanks himself. Next Rudy thinks Samuel's ass needs closer examination and a scope is used to take a good look inside. All seems well so Rudy slides his big hard cock inside and fucks that hot hole. Samuel enjoys that dick in his ass and suck on Lukas' too. Samuel can feel every inch of Rudy's dick deep in his ass as it fucks him. But Lukas needs some ass too so he lays on the bed and Samuel climbs on, sitting his ass down on a second big dick. He rides the cock as he sucks on Rudy's dick. Lukas slams his dick deep into Samuel's ass fucking nice and fast. Then they all move and Rudy lays down next to Samuel and starting fuck him again. Samuel sucks Lukas' hard cock some more until it is ready to cum. Rudy is first though. He dumps his load all over Samuel, who then sucks the cock dry. Lukas then shoots a big load as well with Samuel cleaning him up too, ending a very hot Czech Up.
Hugo Zuzka is a really handsome guy. He came in for a massage. We first see him in the most vividly decorated underwear of the year, so far. His has grabs his groin as the camera zooms out to show us his whole body. What a nice body it is too. Removing the underwear Hugo shows us everything before laying down and waiting for his massage. The masseur arrives and kneels by Hugo, taking some oil and beginning his work. The hands massage Hugo's back and shoulders and then move down to his sexy, bubble butt all covered in hair. The hands squeeze the buttocks, massaging them deep and then move on to Hugo's legs. Hugo then moves up onto his knees and we see that sweet ass hole as the cheeks spread. his cock and balls hang down naturally as the hands massage Hugo's ass. Then a hand takes hold of Hugo's cock, stroking it between him legs as a vibrator appears in the other hand. It teases Hugo's hole as his cock begins to stiffen. That cock gets rock hard as it is stroked and the vibrator dips into his tight hole. Hugo's hole is worked a bit and then we get to examine it up close. With his cock staying rock hard another toy is introduced and pushes into Hugo's tight ass. He takes it very well indeed. Then he turns over and lays onto his back. With that cock still rock hard the masseur takes hold of it and wanks it some more. The wanking speeds up until Hugo shoots a big creamy load all over his body. After that explosion of cum Hugo is left to relax as the video ends.
Vlado Dluhos is 25 and lives in Vestec. He works as a locksmith and in his spare time he enjoys fishing, hockey and football. Vlado is a very sexy guy. After his interview he tries to sleep, in his long johns. Moving to get comfortable Vlado turns onto his side and we see that the longjohns are open at the back, showing a very sexy ass. He still cant get comfortable so turns to lay on his back and begins to feel his crotch. Soon he pulls out a nice hard cock and wanks it. That dick is thick and hard as he works it. The camera moves down and we see his ass again. Then Vlado lifts his legs to really show his hole off, using his hands to spread his cheeks. When he stands up and loses the longjohns we get to see Vlado in all his glory, with his big cock hard and his hot ass on display. Bending over he pulls the cheeks apart again, to show the hole, as he pushes his big dick back between his legs. Then he sits down and starts to wank himself to a climax. When it comes it is massive, juicy cream shooting all over the place. Then Vlado goes off to the shower to clean up after a wonderful shoot.
Niklas Serdberg is aged 21 and lives in Prague. He works as a marketing manager and likes martial arts, thai boxing and going to the gym. Niklas is a really nice guy who looks great on camera. We have done several duos with him so it is nice to see him have the camera all to himself in this solo shoot, so we can really appreciate him. He takes his time removing his clothes, posing for the camera every step of the way. Then we see that great chest of his. What a lovely body he has. He shows us his cock and balls as well, the cock in its flaccid state before getting it nice and hard for us to enjoy. Then Niklas shows us his ass, what a beauty. He shows it off to perfection, ensuring that we see his tight pucker hole as well. A very good shoot from a really great model. His video will appear next week.

The Obscura Society seeks out secret histories, unusual access, and opportunities to explore strange and overlooked places hidden all around us. Having a description like that, it only makes sense that they asked someone like William Helmreich, author of The New York Nobody Knows: Walking 6,000 Miles in the City, to speak at the ACME Studio in New York City on December 2nd. His salon-style lecture will go from 8:00 PM to 9:30 PM and books will also be for sale at this event. To learn more, click here.
In a quest to truly know and understand the vast city that he had spent his entire life in, William Helmreich took on an epic undertaking: to walk every single block of New York City.
Over the course of four years Helmreich walked over 6,000 miles of city streets, thoroughly exploring all five boroughs and accumulating a wealth of stories about the people he met and places he found along the way. Helmreich will be joining the Obscura Society December 2 at Acme Studio to share a truly intimate portrait of the heart and soul of New York, from its most overlooked and hidden corners to the diversity and determination of the people who have made this city home.
William B. Helmreich is the author of the recently published book The New York Nobody Knows: Walking 6,000 Miles in the City. He is a professor of sociology at the City University Graduate Center (CUNY) and the City College of New York as well as a life-long New Yorker. He's been an avid explorer of the hidden outskirts of the city since he was a young child, when his father invented a game called "Last Stop" in which the two would take a subway to the very end of the line and spend the day exploring the surrounding area on foot.

Jotech Motorsports has created a fantastic example of a modern day supercar with bold looks and relentless power. Take a second and picture your dream garage. In stall number one, you have a Lamborghini Aventador, the cutting edge in exotic performance and styling. In stall number two, a Bentley Mulsanne, the ultimate in luxury and comfort. In stall number three, an Ariel Atom, the ultimate track toy. And, in stall number four, there's a Nissan? This is the reality of John T. and Al Villenueva, but as you can tell, this isn't just any Nissan.
You may be asking yourself why a garage full of cars with prestigious names like Lamborghini and Bentley would share the same space with a Nissan, the same company responsible for the Cube. Well, as you can see from the photos, this is not just any Nissan. This is a fire-breathing 940-hp twin-turbo monster built by the experts at Jotech Motorsports in Garland, Texas. This 2010 Nissan R35 GT-R is the brainchild of its owners John T. and Al Villenueva and, over the course of a year, it evolved from a showroom stock Nissan GT-R into the Jotech-tuned supercar you see here.
The first thing that grabs your attention is the bright Verde Ithaca Green paint that's taken straight out of Lamborghini's color book. Aside from the bright custom color though, the Jotech GT-R appears rather unassuming at first glance. A closer inspection reveals a clean understated custom carbon fiber widebody kit by New Concept Autobody, a Seibon carbon OEM-style front bumper and a Stillen front lip spoiler. The hood has also been replaced by a lightweight Seibon carbon OEM style hood. Exterior looks are finished off by custom LED headlights and color-matched Brembo brake calipers that sit behind a set of custom HRE 593RS 20-inch wheels. Sized 11 inches wide in the front and 12.5 in the rear, the wheels are wrapped in massive Pirelli P-Zero.
Under the hood is where things start to get really interesting on any Jotech car, let alone this GT-R. The factory VR38DETT twin turbo V6 has been completely torn apart and rebuilt using forged Arias pistons and Pauter rods in the bottom end. Machined and bored out to 3.9L, the valvetrain is fortified with Tomei camshafts and Ferrea valves and springs. A GReddy XL intercooler and Akuma three-inch intake delivers cold air to a pair of HKS GT800 turbos while spent exhaust gasses pass through an HKS down-pipe and resonated mid-pipe and GReddy titanium cat-back exhaust system. The engine gets its fuel from a Bosch 044 CX2 fuel pump, GReddy fuel rail and massive 2,000 cc Injector Dynamics fuel injectors while the ECU is custom dyno-tuned by Jotech using a Cobb Accessport Pro EFI system. The net result is a staggering 940 horsepower and 850 lb-ft of torque at the wheels!
Charged with putting that massive amount of power to the ground is the GT-R's six-speed dual clutch transmission, which has been meticulously fortified by Jotech using a Dodson Motorsports clutch kit utilizing high-quality Exedy friction discs. With that much horsepower on tap, there becomes a sudden need for control. The Jotech GT-R is no exception and to prevent the 4,100-pound car from becoming a 200 mph pig on roller skates, the dynamically-adjustable OEM Nissan GT-R shocks have been retained on this car. They are now paired with Eibach Pro-Kit lowering springs that lower the center of gravity and improve the overall look of the car with a more aggressive stance.
To control body roll and improve handling balance, the Jotech team went with a set of Whiteline sway bars. Going fast is cool and all, but it doesn't mean anything unless you can slow down as well. Fortunately, the current Nissan GT-R comes from the factory with one of the best brake setups money can buy – Brembo's lightweight high-performance GT brake kit featuring six-piston calipers and 15.75-inch two-piece slotted rotors (four-piston calipers and 15.16-inch rear rotors) – to which Jotech adds Stillen stainless steel braided brake lines, AP Racing PR660 high temperature brake fluid and Carbone Lorraine brake pads.
The Nissan R35 GT-R boasts supercar levels of performance straight from the factory. But, after a stay with Jotech Motorsports, it's easy to see why this particular GT-R not only deserves to share garage with Bentleys and Lamborghinis, it flat out hogs the spotlight. Jotech Motorsports has created a fantastic example of a modern day supercar with bold looks and relentless power. It's cutting edge technology with the performance to back it up. Compared to most exotic supercar, the GT-R doesn't start around the same price range as most mortgages. But, perhaps the best thing about owning a Jotech GT-R is that you'll never have to worry about someone saying, "Is that a GT-R? Paris Hilton has one of those." She doesn't and likely never.

A federal judge ruled Friday that a mid-Missouri technical college's mandatory drug testing policy is unconstitutional when applied to most students.
A federal judge ruled Friday that a mid-Missouri technical college's mandatory drug testing policy is unconstitutional when applied to most students.
U.S. District Judge Nanette K. Laughrey in Jefferson City sided with the American Civil Liberties Union, which sued Linn State Technical College on behalf of six students. The ACLU claimed the school's widespread drug testing violated students' Fourth Amendment rights against unlawful searches and seizures.
Linn State attorney Kent Brown had not yet read the ruling, but said any ruling against the school would be appealed.
Linn State is a two-year technical school in Linn, Mo., near Jefferson City. In 2011, the college began drug testing all first-year students and some returning students for a variety of drugs including cocaine, methamphetamine and oxycodone. The college collected samples from about 500 students, claiming the tests were necessary for student safety.
The ruling prohibits the drug testing for students in most programs, requires a refund of the $50 each student had to pay for the tests, and requires their urine samples to be destroyed or returned.
"The court recognized that illusory safety concerns can be used to mask unconstitutional purposes," said Jeffrey Mittman, executive director of the ACLU office in St. Louis.
Laughrey's ruling allows for drug testing for a few programs like aviation maintenance and heavy equipment operations.
The ACLU and Linn State have been battling in court almost from the day the drug testing began. Laughrey originally granted a restraining order against the Linn State drug testing, but a federal appeals court in January overturned that ruling, calling it too broad.
In March, Laughrey granted a preliminary injunction against the testing.
Under the policy, students who test positive for drugs could remain in school if they have a clean test 45 days later. They also must complete an online drug-prevention course or be assigned to other, unspecified "appropriate activities," according to the school's written policy. They would remain on probation for the remainder of the semester and would face an unannounced follow-up test.
Federal and state courts have consistently upheld more limited drug testing of high school and college students, such as those who play sports. But the move by Linn State to enact widespread drug tests of the general student body appears unprecedented, the ACLU said.

This festive fright-fest was a nice surprise from what I was originally expecting. This is another horror remake (from the people behind Final Destination great film), but un-like so many others; it did manage to come up trumps; such as The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. This is a remake of Bob Clarkes 1974 classic slasher movie, Black Christmas; which actually came four years before John Carpenters Halloween. Some fans lay claim that it was the original slasher flick.

From the outside, this looks like just another of your basic theres a psycho hacking up a bunch of pretty girls, who are running up the stairs instead of out of the door, and to a certain extent thats correct, its the way this is conveyed which is interesting and enticing to watch.

The story: crazed killer, Billy Lenz, escapes his psychiatric ward and is determined to make it to his childhood home, where he was abused, by Christmas. Problem is, its years later and the home is now a Sorority house. Its Christmas Eve and a whos who of teen/horror girl stars are there to welcome him, including Melissa (Michelle Trachtenberg , Buffy the vampire slayer fame), Heather (Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Final Destination 3), Dana (Lacey Chabert, Mean Girls) and Kelli (Katie Cassidy, When a stranger calls remake.)

This movie is actually pretty good, it has a constant feeling of being watched that runs right through it and adds a sparkle to the scares, and the tension is kept high. The actresses, although spouting some awful lines at times, also say some good ones. The acting is good, and because most of the leading ladies are stars, and most of them horror stars, the audience doesnt guess which one is going to make it to the rolling credits. The story-line builds well, and there is a mounting tension, as the killer first phones the girls, and then starts to do away with them.

A similar storyline to the original Halloween, with a killer coming home for the holidays, there are also many similar P.O.V shots of the killer, watching the girls throughout the house. The Christmas theme bleeds in nicely with the plot, and it comes across in places (especially, the flash-backs to Billy Lenzs childhood) like something, director, Tim Burton, would dream up. The film gets darker and darker as we move through it, with some very violent scenes, and the music by Shirley Walker is great; capturing horror and Christmas all in one twisted melody. Also, the use of red and green lighting throughout (owed to Christmas) is very cool, and creates a great atmosphere.

Due to it being set in a Sorority house, and this no longer being 1974, some of the dialogue just doesnt cut it. I cant imagine many of these girls staying in the house with a crazed serial killer, just because they cant find their sorority sister, believable in 2007 sad, but true. There is, unfortunately, the obligatory shower scene, but its used for scares, not thrills, and so works.

Right from the start you can tell, this isnt your usual run of the mill slasher, it actually has a back story, and we do find ourselves caring for some of the characters, for example, Kelli, played by Katie Cassidy is great; plus if you hated Dawn in Buffy the vampire slayer you are gonna love this movie.

Talk:Diving the Cape Peninsula and False Bay/Partridge Point
I have started mapping this site (June 2010), so there will be frequent updates on the map and hopefully new data and photos. Svg map file will be uploaded when development slows down, or when someone asks for it. Anyone wishing to assist please go ahead. The site is large and complex, with a lot of high profile reef, much of which is hardly ever dived so the mapping may take some time. I am starting out by swimming the perimeter of the reef edge where it meets the sand. After that I plan to mark positions of major pinnacles, gulleys, swimthroughs and overhangs, and get a bunch of spot depths. Anyone who has positions of any major features please feel free to either edit them in directly or leave the details here or on my talk page. At a later stage I hope to get sidescan sonar images where the fish can access the area safely, and multibeam bathymetry, as I have contacts who are surveying the area for conservation research, but they can only go where it is safe for the boat. -- Peter (Southwood) Talk 09:06, 11 June 2010 (EDT)
Report by local diver on newly explored section of site:[edit]
Pleased edit/cut/paste/hack it as you see fit ....
Grant dropped us at the most recently discovered submerged pinnacle on the Smits side of the Partridge Point reef complex which is just 50 meters or so off the small rock which does break the surface (not sure if it breaks all the time or just on low tides)
We started by just scootering laps around the closest pinnacles and bits of reef just to get an idea of our immediate surroundings. We proceeded south until we reached what seemed like the end of the reef and then we would turn back towards where we came from.
After exploring the swimthroughs, beautiful gulleys and shining our torches into caves & cracks to find big romans, crayfish and other fish hanging around, we headed east along the edge of the reef keeping the reef on our left and the sand on our right.
Every time the opportunity to scooter under an overhang, down a gulley or through a swim through we would do so but we tried to return to the edge of the reef so that we could have a reference of where we were on the reef while exploring as much of the edge as possible.
The reef has quite spectacular structures which results in overhangs and swimthroughs and gulleys filled with life and colour. When one looks up on a day with good viz the reef is silhouetted, the sun filters through the kelp fronds on top of the reef and the schools of fish in midwater makes for stunning underwater scenes.
At one point a large seal joined us on the dive, and on another occasion we were following a pufadder shy shark which was trying to swallow a small octopus. The puffadder shy shark was, in turn, followed by a few other fish hoping to get leftovers and scraps.
There is a stunning almost perfectly vertical wall from about 19 meters on the sand to where the reef breaks the surface on the big rock on the eastern side of the reef. The whole wall is covered in life and really really impressive in good viz.
Since we were already 30 minutes into the dive and we didn't know how long our batteries would last we headed north and then west which effectively brought us around the big rock and heading back to the area where were were dropped off. We didn't quite make it back to where we were dropped off because Pierre was low on air and we had already dived for 45 minutes.
We scootered around the "inside" of the reef near the big rock a bit where we also saw lots of structure, but it was on average shallower and the structure less dramatic than on the outer edge of the reef.
All & all a stunning piece of reef!
I would gladly return to this reef with a twinset full of 50 or 40% nitrox and just carry on scootering till my batteries go flat ... :-)

Alea jacta est[edit]
I have been working on this site now for a few months, and though it is by no means exhausted, I think it is ready for scrutiny for upgrading to Star. I need the feedback for the final push, so have nominated for Star. Peter (Southwood) Talk 12:35, 16 August 2010 (EDT)

Diving the Cape Peninsula and False Bay/Partridge Point[edit]
This site has been improved a lot over the last few months. The map is not quite ready, but needs comment. The svg has not yet been uploaded, but that is just a matter of doing it when the map is right. Other than that, I think the article meets most, if not all the criteria, and by nominating it I hope to get suggestions on what more is needed. I look forward to the creative criticism that helped get Diving the Cape Peninsula and False Bay/Pinnacle to star.
Partridge Point is a large dive site compared with Pinnacle, and it is much better known among the local divers, and has been quite popular for years. However, the development of the Wikitravel article seems to have pushed up the number of dive charters advertised for the site this season, and the mapping of the site has opened up new parts of it. Local divers are getting the message and starting to use the guide. I just wish a few of them would start contributing, but with luck this will happen eventually.
Besides that, it has been great fun to map, and see the layout unfold itself gradually as I get the data from the GPS tracks onto Inkscape. Peter (Southwood) Talk 13:25, 16 August 2010 (EDT)
I have just uploaded the latest versions of all the maps and the svg. The False Bay west side season is drawing to an end, and the article may be as complete as I can get it until next winter, so I will give it another few days until 14 days have elapsed since the last person commented, and unless there are any others who wish to comment in that time, will then upgrade to star.

BRISTOL, Tenn. – King Men's Basketball was led by freshman center Drew Standifer's career-high 20 points in its biggest victory of the season. The Tornado beat the Big Blues of Bluefield State College, 87-53, on Saturday night inside the Student Center Complex. The win keeps the Tornado undefeated with their seventh win out of the gate.
Standifer, a freshman from Knoxville, Tenn., had a previous career-high of 13 points against Mount Olive on Nov. 27 before Saturday's win over the Blues. After Bluefield State made the first basket of the game, Standifer came back with a three pointer from the top of the arc to get King on the board. He finished the first half 3-for-6 from the field from that point, tallying 11 of his 20 total points. He hit 3-of-4 field goals in the second plus three from the free throw line, accounting for nine points in 10 minutes played during the second half.
King (7-0) jumped out to a 13-5 lead over the Blues in the opening 4:06. After Standifer scored the team's first five points, Jason Seymore (Powell, Tenn.) laid a bucket in and was followed by a Logan Lyle three-point basket to take a five point lead. Eddie Piccinini (Orlando, Fla.) continued the opening run converting a three-point play after being fouled following a successful layup.
With 12:55 remaining in the first half, the Tornado took its first double-digit lead when Aaron Wheeler (Knoxville, Tenn.) split a pair of free throws, 18-8. Standifer continued to wow the crowd with the first of two dunks he had on the night to help King hit the 20-point plateau with 12:39 to go in the opening half.
The Tornado defense was on point by holding the Blues to only 25 first-half points and limited them to only two three-point field goals taken. Once Bluefield State scored its 14th point of the game, King shut down the offense, keeping the Blues scoreless over the next 3:26. King caused two turnovers and forced four misses before BSC broke the streak with a layup by Treon Claiborn. They kept the Blues without a field goal in the final four minutes of the first half and forced four turnovers in the final 2:48 to help take a 19-point lead into the locker room at half, 44-25.
King defense took another big stand after allowing six points in the opening minute, they again shut down the Blues offense, keeping them scoreless for the next 7:42 while scoring the game's next 14 points to open up a 31-point lead, 62-31. The Tornado limited the Blues to fewer field goals (7) in the second half and forced them to shoot 1-for-8 from distance. The Blues finished the night shooting 29.6 percent from the field and only 20 percent from long range.
Further demonstrating their defensive dominance on the night, King forced the Blues into 27 turnovers, resulting in 26 points.
Eddie Piccinini and Brandon Crompton (Hurricane, W.Va.) each finished with 11 points to join Standifer in the double-digit point scoring club, combining for 8-of-16 (.500) from the field. Crompton added six rebounds, one block, and one steal to his stat line over 15 minutes played.
Jason Seymore led the team with eight rebounds and was one of six King players with a pair of steals on the night. Freshman James Scales (Rogersville, Tenn.) led the Tornado in assists (5).
Bluefield State had two double-digit scorers, led by Vincent Rogers (13). Antoine Bryant scored 11 and had a team-high seven rebounds for the Big Blues.
The win improves King, who received votes in the latest NABC Top 25 Coaches' Poll, to 7-0 overall on the season. They remain the final Conference Carolinas team to be undefeated following No. 10 Barton's loss to Shaw (91-86) on Dec. 3.
King will play next at No. 11 Lincoln Memorial University on Dec. 16. Last year, LMU defeated King three times over the course of the season by a combined 15 points, including a 67-60 loss in the school's first appearance in the NCAA Division II Tournament. Live statistics and video will be available for the contest.

Information by Country
Global Section:
The Gender Perspectives of the Global Crisis of 2008
The financial and economic crises of 2008 had gender-specific impacts and placed a disproportionate burden on women, in particular poor, migrant and minority women. Even though both women and men are affected by job losses, women are often laid off first, as men are traditionally considered to be the main breadwinners. Some of the implications of the global financial and economic crisis on women are:
- Lower wages: Women are at a risk of losing their jobs first and are often do not have much negotiating power. Low wages, particularly in countries without social safety nets, makes the impact on women even more severe.
- Greater unemployment: Employment losses or a slowdown in job growth is expected to contribute to growing unemployment. This finds women at the risk of being hired last and dismissed first.
- Drop in remittances: Developing countries will be affected by the drop in remittances from family members in developed economies. Remittances give women greater autonomy and control over family matters.
- Drop in informal sector demand: Women in the informal sector, including agricultural laborers, home-workers, traditional artisans, weavers and vendors, are particularly affected, as economic crises tend to significantly reduce the demand for outputs produced in this sector.
- Drop in access to finance: Women are the majority of clients of micro finance institutions (85% of the poorest 93 million clients of MFIs in 2006)[1]and their access to such credit is expected to decline owing to the liquidity problems in the financial sector. This is significant particularly in Latin America and ECA, where micro finance institutions obtain a significant portion of their lending from commercial rather than concessional (grant) sources.[2]
- Increased stress and violence: As food and fuel prices soar, adding stress and hardship to families, incidents of violence against women and communal violence increase.
The manner in which countries use monetary and fiscal policies to respond to recessions can also lead to disproportionate impacts on women and girls. The effects on women and therefore children will be transmitted through cuts in public sector budgets, due to falling tax revenues and foreign aid. Cuts in public spending in the areas of health and education, for example, can reduce womens and girls access to basic services. Girls may be withdrawn from schools to help with household work during times of economic crisis, reinforcing gender gaps in education. These coping strategies can undermine the long-term development for the society as a whole. Increasing unemployment and decreasing household incomes increases unpaid work, including care giving, mostly done by women and girls, and may force women to turn to vulnerable and informal employment.
In terms of numbers of unemployed, in 2008, 112 million out of the total of 193 million are men, and 81 million are women. The International Labor Office (ILO)[3] estimates that the economic crisis is expected to increase the number of unemployed women by up to 22 million over the period 2007- 2009. The unemployment rate for women was 6.3 per cent in 2008 and is expected to rise to at least 6.5 per cent in the most optimistic scenario, and to 7.4 per cent in the most pessimistic scenario. In most regions, the gender impact of the economic crisis in terms of unemployment rates is expected to be more detrimental for females than for males, and most clearly so in Latin America and the Caribbean. Only in East Asia and the Developed Economies and the European Union, both regions with limited gender gaps in terms of employment opportunities, the opposite is true. In the developed economies, male unemployment may reach 7.9 per cent, hardly different from the 7.8 rate for women in the worst case scenario for 2009.
Remittances constitute between 40 and 17 percent of GDP for many countries, including Moldova, Tajikistan, Tonga, Lebanon, Lesotho, Honduras, Guyana, Haiti, Jamaica, Jordan, El Salvador, Nicaragua, and Nepal. Women migrants are traditionally in female occupations such as domestic work and nursing and are more vulnerable to economic downturns. Accurate figures for job losses by immigrant workers are difficult to compile, though some idea of its magnitude can be gauged by anecdotes. For example, in the metropolitan area of New York, where financial sector job loss reached about 80,000, the New York Times estimated that at least half as many domestic workers also lost their jobs[4]. Job losses are projected to be the most for domestic workers from the Philippines, Caribbean countries, and Eastern Europe who care for the elderly and children in the Arab countries, United States and Western Europe.
Policy Response:
Gender equality should be a key principle in any policy response to help offset the unequal social and economic burden on women. The crisis is an opportunity to drive new ways of thinking on economic and social policies. When governments design and implement fiscal stimulus packages, it is important to recognize the labor market disadvantage that women face and to consider explicit employment growth targets for women. In this context, considerations in the design of an appropriate policy mix will have the following elements:
1. Gender sensitive employment creation: The fiscal stimulus packages should go beyond a focus on job creation in mostly male-dominated sectors, such as construction. There is a need for greater gender-responsiveness through labor based approaches that includes more women. Investing in rural infrastructure creates employment and builds a foundation for sustainable growth. Furthering poverty alleviation through the construction and repairs of farm-to-market roads, post-harvest facilities, irrigation systems, portable water systems and other farm projects, will provide long-term advantages to a large percentage of women in agriculture, in particular those in vulnerable employment. It will also serve to provide opportunities for those migrants returning to the countryside and working as subsistence farmers.
2. Investment in social infrastructure: Fiscal stimulus packages to also include initiatives in education and healthcare that would inject financial and human capital into fields with high female employment, and ultimately increase human capital and growth
3. Increase in credit lines to women: Governments should subsidize credit for women and guarantee loans that foster job creation for women. Commercial banks that receive liquidity support from central banks should be requested to maintain funding for microcredit, as such credit is vital in the informal sector where large numbers of women work.

The Times 25th July 1891, p16
"WAITER, Coffee, Sitting Room, or otherwise. Thoroughly experienced. English. Age 23. – E.L. 241 Avenue-road Extension, Clarendon Park, Leicester."
This advertisement is so interesting to me. It typifies us so many things about Victorian Clarendon Park life.
Number 241 Avenue Road Extension was a shop. In 1891 it was occupied by John and Elizabeth Clayton (and her mother), who also kept boarders. Census night was 5th April 1891 and E.L., whoever he was, had presumably found a job and moved out. He was almost certainly a boarder rather than a family member (Elizabeth's maiden name was Rawlins). There was a surprising amount of mobility in and out of Clarendon Park, and also within it – a bit like the student population today I suppose. Boarders were particularly likely to move frequently, in search of better landlords or a more convenient location.
As to E.L. – well, I have found in 1891 a waiter by the name of Emanuel Leiter, aged 23, in an hotel run by Emily Cunningham at 51 New Bond Street, Mayfair. He was born in Switzerland, so he may not be the same person. Then again, he may be – people weren't always entirely honest about their age and minor details like their nationality in these adverts. They knew that employers were prejudiced against foreigners and those they felt too old or too young for the job (especially domestic service). E.L. may not even have been his real initials: People sometimes changed their names to more 'suitable' ones for their profession, again especially in domestic service. It has to be said that Emanuel isn't a very Victorian Clarendon Park name – I was expecting something more prosaic like Edward or perhaps Ernest.
I tried to take a photo of 141 Avenue Road Extension but once again I CAN'T FIND IT. Is the extension some kind of Bermuda Triangle? If anyone feels like looking for it, or even showing me how the numbering system works on that godforsaken road, I would be only too grateful. In the meantime, regards Elizabeth.

"Contrary to what was expected from recent Novell announcements, Novell executives are apparently slicing deeply into the Linux heart of the company. Jobs and resources are actually being slashed in several areas previously dubbed by Novell management as "key component parts of Novell's Linux developments": staffers working on Mono, Hula, Evolution and Desktop Strategy are getting the sack. SUSE customers around the world will be shocked and puzzled by this management decision."

RE: There is only one reason..
by dagw on Sat 5th Nov 2005 15:45 UTC in reply to "There is only one reason.."
Well, I'd say that this shows that _selling_ linux on the desktop might be a dicey proposition. I know of a number of comercial companies that are happy _using_ linux on the desktop and even delivering solutions based on linux desktops. However all of these companies use a linux distro they can download, distribute and upgrade for free and handle their linux support either in-house or through a local third-party company not connected with the distribution. So linux and linux desktops seem to be making and/or saving companies money, just not the linux distributers.

Loyola celebrates Constitution Day
Loyola press release - September 17, 2012
Each year, Loyola University New Orleans celebrates Constitution Day, which commemorates the formation and signing of the United States Constitution on Sept. 17, 1787. The day recognizes citizens born in the U.S. and those who became citizens by naturalization.
As part of the celebration, faculty, staff and students are invited to view a display of materials related to the Constitution, located at the front of the Monroe Library in the new book area. The library also has an electronic list of materials related to the Constitution.
The late Senator Robert C. Byrd, a West Virginia Democrat and the United States Congress' unofficial constitutional scholar, believed that the American primary, secondary and post-secondary students lack significant knowledge regarding the United States Constitution. In December 2004, Senator Byrd offered legislation that was passed by Congress and was signed into law by the president, that all educational institutions that receive federal funds implement educational programs relating to the United States Constitution on September 17 of each year. The law was designed to increase students' knowledge about the constitution.
