The Sri Lanka Army (SLA) now has the full control of A-9 (Jaffna-Kandy) highway for the first time in several years. The entire Elephantpass area including the former tiger stronghold of Pallei too is now under SLA control. The former EPS base complex which was manned by the 54 division and overrun by the tigers in 2000, too has been recaptured. An official announcement on the capture is yet to be made. Most of LTTE's 1000-1500 strong force deployed in this area have fled towards their final remaining stronghold in Mullaithivu. The rest has been killed by the army.
There was however one incident reported yesterday in Pallei. Lt. Colonel N.Kumarasinghle of the SLA who was attached to the Air Mobile Brigade, was killed due to an IED explosion during a search and clearing mission.

LTTE fiercely defended the Muhamalai, Nagarkovil and Kilali axis on several previous occasions which resulted in many casualties for the army. However the SLA, with all the disadvantages on their side, were able to capture two of the tiger's forward defence lines in these battles. With the 58 division's capture of Paranthan and their entry into southern EPS, the LTTE fighters along the national front found themselves facing the wrath of 3 divisions advancing from three different directions. This is when LTTE's final defences in the Muhamalai/Nagarkovil/Kilai axis collapsed and their fighters fled to Mullaithivu.

FREEPORT (WIFR) -- 153 years ago Abraham Lincoln and Incumbent State Senator Stephen Douglas held a famous debate in Freeport. It was part of the campaign for Illinois Senate.
Freeport Mayor George Gaulrapp hopes to host a debate between Governor Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama on the historic site.
Freeport has been the center of recent media attention because Sensata Technologies is located there. The plant will close at the end of the year and 170 jobs will head to China. The company is owned by Bain Capital, which was started by Romney in the mid-80's.
Governor Pat Quinn will be in Freeport on Thursday to meet with Sensata employees and to visit the site of the historic Lincoln Douglas Debate.

Film Review
Time travel gets trippy in Rian Johnson's brainy, bullet-riddled genre-bender
Directed by Rian Johnson
Cast: Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Bruce Willis, Emily Blunt
Living, as we are, in a post-Transformers movie universe, is it at all helpful to label a film "intelligent"? Is that the kind of adjective that's just going to chase viewers off and guarantee a mediocre box office? With ticket prices rising every season, people are often inclined to say, "I just want to be entertained" when it comes to spending their hard-earned, leisure-time dough. Folks don't want to be entertained and have to think at the same time. Or do they? You tell me—I just write the reviews around here.
If you are the kind of person who doesn't mind a little smarts in your entertainment, then Looper is definitely the kind of film you should be gravitating toward. Not that it's a graduate-level discourse in quantum physics or anything. Looper is a rousing sci-fi adventure. It's full of action. There's a sly sense of humor on display. It's got Bruce Willis, who is shooting a gun. And yes, it's got some brains to it.
Those brains are undoubtedly attached to the film's up-and-coming writer-director, Rian Johnson, who reunites here with the star of his 2005 object of cult worship, Brick. In Brick, Joseph Gordon-Levitt played a hard-boiled high school detective whose pulpy dialogue spilled out like Shakespearian sonnets. In Looper, he plays a futuristic hit man whose job it is to bump off people from the future. This is where some attention to detail is required. Seems that 60 years from now, time travel will be invented and then immediately outlawed. The only people who have access to this illegal technology are organized crime members. (I can see the NRA bumper stickers now: "When time travel is outlawed, only outlaws will have time travel.") For various convoluted reasons, the mob uses this technology to send people back in time, circa 2040. There, anonymous assassins called "loopers" are used to dispatch them and dispose of their bodies—sometimes before the victims were even born.
Admittedly, this seems like a complicated, borderline-
In the future world of 2040, things have gotten very bad. With little-to-no tedious explanation, Johnson constructs a vivid world. Clearly, the economy has gone to hell. Criminal organizations run things without so much as a glimpse of police, government or other authority figures. Desperate vagrants fill the streets, sparking what looks like an all-out war between the haves and have-nots. There's even a hint of Dust Bowl environmental breakdown.
In this world, it doesn't feel so far-fetched that people like Joe (Gordon-Levitt) would jump at the chance to make hard money (silver bars, to be precise) executing people from the future. Joe's tidy amoral world breaks down one day, though, when the person sent from the future for him to execute just happens to be his own future self (played by Bruce Willis). This confusing paradox sets up a battle between young Joe and old Joe. Seems his future self has a plan for changing the future. If only young Joe would stop acting like a murderous asshole long enough to listen.
Looper is wildly creative, brilliantly written and acted like a mofo. Gordon-Levitt uses a lot of facial prosthetics and some well-studied mannerisms to sell his role as the young Bruce Willis. Watching them spar is to witness the most fun two actors have had with each other since Nicolas Cage and John Travolta switched personalities in Face/Off. Throw in Emily Blunt as a terrified mother holding the key to the future, Paul Dano as Joe's screw-up best friend and Jeff Daniels as a terrifyingly mellow gangster, and you've got a better cast than most sci-fi flicks deserve.
Sadly but inevitably, the film settles into a comfortable second-act groove, losing just a bit of its inventiveness. After setting up its fascinating world, intriguing characters and mind-bending premise, the script morphs into a one-set action piece that looks and feels like a cross between The Terminator and Shane. Even so, Johnson never stops tinkering with his ideas, exploring the ins and outs and messy conundrums of time travel. This thing isn't nearly as head-trippy as Willis' previous time travel excursion 12 Monkeys—but it might still leave you sitting in the dark, connecting the dots as the credits roll.
In the end, Looper is arguably one of the best films of the year and definitely one of the best sci-fi films in ages. Some audience members may exit the theater scratching their heads; but all, I suspect, will emerge suitably entertained.

Second AJ Women in Architecture survey reveals that unequal pay persists, while 89 per cent of women say having children is detrimental to career progression
Women in practice are still paid less than male counterparts, according to the AJ Women in Architecture 2013 survey.
Nearly a third of male architects working full time in the UK earn more than £48k, but less than a fifth of female equivalents earn that much.
The difference is most marked at the top end of the pay scale. At full-time director level in the UK, only 37 per cent of women earn between £61k and £99k a year, compared with 63 per cent of men – a staggering 26 percentage-point difference.
Seven hundred women and 191 men responded to the second AJ Women in Architecture survey, which asked about career challenges, childcare, sexual discrimination and role models.
A massive 89 per cent of women respondents think having children puts women at a disadvantage in architecture – up nine points on last year's results. Meanwhile 61 per cent do not think the building industry has fully accepted the authority of the female architect.
Low pay, long hours and childcare costs are crippling factors, putting women at a disadvantage
Avanti Architects director Geraldine O'Riordan said: 'The results do not surprise me. Relatively low pay, long hours and the cost of childcare are crippling factors, putting women at a disadvantage in architecture.'
And Maggie Mullan, partner at Austin-Smith:Lord, said: 'Do owners intuitively pay their male staff more in the misguided view that they are the "breadwinners" and that women work for pin money? Or is it the case that women don't tend to be as proactive in seeking reward? It could be a combination of both.'
Dagmar Binsted, senior architect at GMW Architects, said: 'The issue here is not so much unequal pay on a one-by-one basis, but unequal opportunities. It is a symptom of the majority of female directors being in smaller practices or sole practitioners.'
As a profession need to do more to attract, treat fairly and keep diverse talent, including women
RIBA president Angela Brady added: 'The profession must lead the way in diversity and equality so that all opinions are taken into account. But as is clearly reinforced by the AJ's latest survey results, we as a profession need to do more to attract, treat fairly and keep diverse talent, including women. 'Any employer paying a comparably experienced woman less than a man for the same job is acting abhorrently and illegally.'
Glass ceiling pay gap revealed: 26% of women directors earn less
Readers' comments (5)
Perhaps women are being cleverer by taking more 'dividend' and less 'salary' in order to take advantage of tax rules?
Perhaps more women have got more sense than us chaps by getting out of a profession that currently has such little financial reward!
I wonder how pay compares across the profession with other 'differences' such as height, accent, school, hair colour (ginger!), age and ethnicity etc?
Speaking as someone who has been 'looked down on' most of his life I think you might be surprised by the results. Discrimination is not always intended. I read another study for another profession (I've forgotten which, it was a while ago) where the pay difference was due to women accepting lower offers. I'm not convinced by that argument but........
Ridiculous statements and graphs. Anything that starts "do you think..." implies that the answers are not fact based and therefore redundant and irrelevant. As architect's most of us believe that we are underpaid and over worked, so as a general rule most of us will assume the worst case scenario applies to us.
Please re-write the article with some solid factual indformation. But I doubt you will be abvle to achieve this without full disclosure from a range of different sized architectural practices. This way you would have a leg to stand on and not just be putting irrelevant graphs into poorly thought through articles.
As an industry we need to demmand more money for all, not just men, women, old, young etc.
We asked 891 people for their job title and salary rate, 191 men and 700 women, as well as a range of quantitative and qualitative questions - a mix of fact and perception. This is consistent with good research - perception is important in gauging the distance between any perceived pay gap and fact. You will see this done in surveys on crime perception and fact, for example.
As for the facts, when we compare what respondents have given as their age, job title, salary and location, and compare this information to data we've collected in the AJ State of the Profession survey, the 191 men responding to the Women in Architecture survey, and the RIBA salary bands, it is an unfortunate fact that many women are paid less than men of equal age, job role or experience.
Another speculative response. How can you have any idea about the quality of experience gained and if the responses are truthful. I work in an open and fair office that pays everone equally badly. As previously mentioned, the only way to generate useful and factual articles that don't make such sweeping statements is to obtain the information directly from the companies and have them assess their relevant experience.
If it is true that some women earn less then this is not right at all and should be addressed, but there are guys, girls and others that earn various ammounts depending on how they entered into their terms and conditions when signing up for a contract. If your skill set is in demmand you have a better barganing chip, it is as simple as that.
Regarding the career being affected by having a baby, surely that is down to personal choice... if you are no longer able to put in the ridiculous hours that most architects do then you will find yourself slip down the promotion list as others will offer the company more time and effort than somebody who feels they have to leave on time to take care of their families. It is a choice how you prioritise various elements of your life.
In our experience, companies are more likely to falsify or misrepresent salary levels than individuals.

Two Brothers Winery
My partner and I share a passion for really good juice. Over a partucularly fine bottle of wine one evening we decided that it would be cool if we started making our own wine. Our local college offered a degree in wine making so we signed up and for 2 years studied the art of making wine.
During this time we traveled all over the Pacific Northwest meeting winemakers and tasting wine. We have gone through all the legal steps to become a bonded winery and our first vintage of Washington State Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot are in barrels getting happy. So, while we are not biological brothers, we are brothers in wine making, hence Two Brothers Wine and Winery. Our goal is to make small quantities of high quality wine.
Our target customer will be upper income, wine knowledgeable consumers who are willing to pay a premium price for good wine. We will sell to wine shops and upscale restaurants.
We want to take the two brother concept and make that the focus of the front label (see attached photo that I took of my partners sons in the vineyard). We don't want to use the actual photo, but we are looking for an artistic interpretation of this photo using the vines, the boys and the vineyard. We envision these concepts; color, black and white, pen & ink, black and white or color block print, silhouttes, watercolor, pastels. We are openl to your creative instincts as they interact with our theme.

Playwright, lawyer and humorist Wajahat Ali is known to fellow Fremont residents as a man of many projects. As we meet for an interview downtown, a passer-by interrupts to ask Ali, in Urdu, "What are you working on now?" One answer is scripting an HBO pilot, with novelist Dave Eggers, about a Muslim cop in San Francisco. Ali, 30, has made a career of writing about ordinary Muslim Americans with humor and candor. Another project marks Ali's first big dive into political advocacy, with a report (due out this week) he has co-authored with researchers at the Center for American Progress in Washington, D.C. Ali says it exposes how a small network of anti-Muslim activists transformed a fringe movement into a mainstream cause.
Q So your report hasn't even come out yet, but the anti-Islam blogger Pamela Geller has already called you a "stealth jihadist." Are you offended?
A Not at all. Pam Geller attacked me because I pretty much exposed her and her agenda on a radio station in New York, because she and her allies were mentioned more than 200 times in (Norwegian mass shooter) Anders Breivik's 1,500-page manifesto. … He was ideologically inspired by people like her and her allies.
Q What made you get into this political project?
A My whole life I've been the unintentional token spokesman for all things Muslim and Pakistani. It was not by choice. I call myself the accidental activist. When I was a young kid I was, like, the only open practicing Muslim, and I knew a lot about my Pakistani roots. So inevitably I gave dozens of impromptu lectures about all things Muslim and Pakistani. And (for) a lot of my friends in the Bay Area, I was their only Muslim or Pakistani friend. So they were like, Hey, Waj, what's up with Pakistan? … The Center for Progress thought, why not go to a non-D.C. guy and think outside the box. I realized, as a student of American history, the current boogeyman is American Muslims. And I wanted to help turn the tide toward civil discourse, in which we wouldn't divide Americans based on ethnicity and religion.
Q What do you think of the depiction of Muslim Americans on TV?
A It's usually framed through the lens of national security, terrorism, violence and fundamentalism. A recent report says Americans have a negative image of Muslims (for) two reasons: ignorance, in the sense that a lot of Americans say they don't know a Muslim; … and they say the media frames their perceptions of Muslims. … The hope is to move beyond that frame, to show the nuances. We need authentic Muslim American storytellers telling authentic Muslim American narratives.
Q On a blog post you mentioned the Ramadan State of Mind. What's that?
A On the blog I try to remove what I call the "ascetic monk lens" from which both Muslim Americans and average Americans view Ramadan — Muslims being this spiritual, superhero monk type who have this insane biological system that allows them to fast without water and drink. We're like Ivan Drago from "Rocky IV," right? It's very inhuman almost, the presentation of Ramadan and Muslims fasting. … I just try to talk like a normal person, to expose my whiny-ness, the fact that sometimes it sucks being Muslim. Sometimes I'm spiritually elevated, sometimes spiritually defeated. Sometimes I just want to eat food.
Q You've talked about how kids who grew up in the shadow of 9/11 are helping to push a new narrative. What is that narrative?
A The narrative is: "I am both Muslim and American; one cannot coexist without the other. My values from both identities complement one another and intersect. I am living proof that there is no conflict between the West and Islam. Proof that there needs not be an Armageddon or a clash of cultural values." Just go talk to these people. They fast during Ramadan and listen to Jay-Z's latest album. They eat their mom's dal but then they also eat pho. Their best friend is African-American or Vietnamese-American, and they'll invite them over for Eid. That's as American as apple pie, or maybe as American as falafel and hummus.

Specializing in small-group, multi-day adventure tours and expeditions, Toronto-based G Adventures has been a pioneer in the field since 1990.
Founded by entrepreneur Bruce Poon Tip after a backpacking trip to Asia, the company fosters sustainable and environmentally sound tourism practices -- giving back to the communities they visit -- and considers its business "changig people's lives," not just offering a vacation.
It's since grown to become the world's largest independent adventure travel company, with more than 1,350 employees, many of them professionally trained guides.
What Makes G Adventures Stand Out?
- Well-balanced, all encompassing, and adventurous trips
- Strong engagement with local cultures
- Emphasis on being a responsible traveler and giving back to the community
- Trips that are made to be life-changing
G Adventures strives to create unique experiences for its travelers that start even before the trip itself. The company provides trip inspiration through their Looptail blog and you can connect with fellow travelers via the 'Departure Lounge', which is part of G's 'Watering Hole' travel forum.
Once on your trip, you will meet your 'CEO' or 'Chief Experience Officer' who is "responsible for enriching your journey, offering local insight, and pursuing great experiences as they happen." Most groups average around 12 travelers, with a maximum of 16 on most trips.
G Adventures has made a concerted effort to expand their offering beyond youth focused adventures, though this remains a core theme. Your Danube River Cruise will be imbued with the same culturally immersive and adventurous touch as your trekking journey through the Himalayas.
Who Will Enjoy Traveling With G Adventures?
- Adventurous-minded and culturally curious people
- Moderately active people
- Ages 18-39 (but all ages are welcome)
- Solo travelers (no charge for single supplement!)
- Those who favor authentic experiences over luxury
If you are the kind of traveler who packs running shoes before dress shoes, hiking attire before dinner attire, and a sense of adventure before playing it safe, then G Adventures is the perfect fit for you. You love engaging with locals, meeting new people, and being spontaneous.
Most G Adventures tours have an active focus - expect to be on the move, packing a lot in. That said they do allot generous free time to explore on your own. There's a chance you may not see every major tourist attraction in the interest of a more "real" experience. But the nice thing is if a particular site is not on the itinerary, you can use your free time to visit.
If you are interested in a tour that plans every part of the itinerary down to the minute, G Adventures will probably not be the best fit for you.
Groups are geographically diverse, with a higher proportion of North Americans than some other operators.
Top Destinations
You can find G Adventures trips in most parts of the globe, including 32 countries in Europe, 25 countries in sub-Saharan Africa, 21 countries in Asia, 10 countries in South America, 12 countries in Central America and the Caribbean, five countries in North Africa and the Mideast, plus the U.S., and Canada.
A number of destinations are well off the beaten track, from Sao Tome and Principe in West Africa to Borneo in east Asia to the Maldives in the Indian Ocean and both polar regions.
Itineraries often focus on more off the beaten path locations; small towns, remote and rural villages, less touristy districts and sites.
G Adventures Travel Style
Pricing is competitive (cheaper), largely by using "grassroots" approaches: local transport and a mix of privately-owned accommodations, perhaps including homestays and camping. Efforts are made to focus on authenticity with both culinary choices (locally-owned restaurants) as well as transportation methods.
G Adventures truly offers something for everyone. Trip styles include Classic, Active, Rail, YOLO (You Only Live Once - for 18-39's), National Geographic Journeys, Marine, Family, Local Living, and Private Groups.
Classic - Classic trips with G Adventures are designed for independent minded travelers who don't want to miss anything. This is the perfect choice if you want a balanced mix of classic tourist sights and local cultural experiences.
Active - Throwing it back to one of the things G Adventures does best. Kayak, walk, hike, trek; experience your destination through the outdoors. These multi-sport trips are great if you hate standing still and enjoy being out in nature. G Adventures Active tours are ideal for those who are relatively physically fit and like a challenge.
Rail - A rail journey is a great way to dial it back. Take it slow and really savor the feeling of the journey. Take iconic routes and enjoy the ride.
YOLO - "You only live once" is the acronym, and while G Adventures provides adventurous experiences for all, these trips are specifically designed for 18-39 year olds. Get cheeky, get wild, experience life unfettered, as you explore the culture and the local nightlife. If you have the stamina, these trips are once in a lifetime. Kind of like the age range.
National Geographic Journeys - A more premium travel experience, these G Adventures trips, as part of a partnership with National Geographic Expeditions, involve the same culturally immersive approach and knowledgeable guides with an elevated level of accommodations and service.
Marine - Love to be out on the water? Let G Adventures cruises take you to the far reaches of the globe via river and ocean. Experience incredible sights above and below the surface. Unpack once and enjoy the escape of being a part of the crew and passengers.
Family - Adventure tours aren't always especially friendly to younger travelers. G Adventures Family Friendly tours make adventure activities accessible for you and your youngsters! Trips often have an educational element, and are designed with multiple ages in mind.
Local Living - Get to the heart of it with a homestay. These tours are designed to make you really feel at home and appreciate the feel and rhythm of living like a local.
Private Groups - If you and your family, or a group of friends want the fun all to yourself, G Adventures can plan a private group trip just for you.
Note: part of the culturally immersive experience when traveling with G Adventures is the use of public transportation. This means carrying your own luggage on buses, trains, etc - sometimes during commute hours! So pack light for your own comfort and the comfort of those around you.
Why Choose a Tour With G Adventures?
For those travelers seeking an exciting, professionally guided, and culturally immersive travel experience G Adventures is the perfect tour company to consider. Their trips are designed to be as authentic as possible - and they place much emphasis on giving back to local communities - so you'll know your tourism dollars are going toward meaningful causes.
Trips with G Adventures are not luxury by any means. But if unique experiences and active days appeal to you over a fluffy pillow then you're in the right place.
Departures are guaranteed once you've paid (barring significant weather or safety issues). And they don't charge single supplements. In short, G Adventures wants you out there with them.
You can find something for everyone at G Adventures; whether that's sailing down the Danube with a glass of wine in hand, or traipsing through the rainforests of Costa Rica.
1. What kind of luggage should I bring?
On many G Adventures trips it's important to keep in mind that local public transportation is used frequently. Sometimes during commute hours! For your comfort and the comfort of those around you, it's a good idea to pack light. Some areas will be very crowded, so take pickpocket precautions.
2. Do I need travel insurance?
Yes! Travel insurance is required for all travelers on G Adventures trips. If you don't have your own insurance already, you can purchase a plan for the time you'll be traveling when you book your G Adventures tour. This is an easy and budget friendly option. If you're interested in browsing more plans, check out the top travel insurance options »
3. Is airfare included?
Unfortunately no. While G Adventures does not include international airfare in their trip prices, they can help you book flights.
4. Is there a single supplement?
No. G Adventures does not charge a single supplement for their tours. Single travelers are very welcome. You will share with a same-sex roommate during the tour. If you wish to have a single room, there is usually an option to pay an additional fee for your own room.
5. Is there an age cap?
While G Adventures trips tend to appeal largely to younger adventure travelers, all ages are welcome on the majority of trips. The exceptions include on their 18-39 tours, which are specifically designed for only travelers within that range. On most other G Adventures trips, children under 18 must be accompanied by a guardian, and are open to kids 12 and up. Some family friendly trips are open to younger kids.
6. What size are the groups?
G Adventures group tours are kept small and intimate. The max is 15, with the average hovering more around 10.

Just leaps & Bounds
By Johnny Appleseed on Thursday, May 23, 2019So I optioned first a 2019 Ram Bighorn,8.5 inch nav loaded screen,Level II package,4x4,3:92 axle ELocker,6ft bed.Got pricing from 5 Ram dealerships.Went to 3 Ford dealership's and all of them never beat the price of the Ram 1500.And these were either ordered or on lots F-150 XLT trim with upgraded to 5.0L V-8 I did not want the V-6 TT turbo engine option to much money with 10 speed.Chevy's trucks interior was even close in terms of comfort and center-stack just look old schooled.Both the Ford and the Chevy were more money or with in 900.0 dallors of the Ram 1500 but the styling and interior was just way better than the Ford F-150,and the Silverado...GM was not discounting hardly at all so the dealers were bring the price down on there side..Ford F-150's interior was well just cheap looking with the small screen and hardly had no center storage because the shifter was there,not like the Ram 1500 had. The Ram 1500 center console is just way better design by a mile...Test drove all 3 and the Ram with the coil spring rode the best hands down and was far quieter inside while driving in city traffic during rush hour..My previous truck was a 2014 Ford F-150.I was a brand loyal kinda guy but after all the trips to these dealerships it became evident the Ram 1500 was the easy choice with my hard earn dallor..

12" center stack is junk.!
By Dale on Wednesday, September 11, 2019Bought the new Limited last October. Beautiful truck, thought it would be an awesome experience. Well, it turned out to not be awesome, but is an awful one. After four trips to the dealer, a call to CFA, and a lot of stress, I'm still extremely disappointed. I have the 12" center screen which works when it wants to, the Navigation is the same. Works if it wants to, most of the time it's "off line" and won't do or show anything except the truck setting at the house. When I contacted the dealer and CFA they say there is a software update coming, but won't say when, say they don't know or if their 'update' will even fix the problem. The truck runs and drives well, but driving down the road with the rear view camera on (and won't turn off) is terribly distracting. It's either that or a total black screen. One would have thought that CFA would have made sure that this piece of junk would have worked before they put it into production and sold it as such a 'wonderful piece of engineering'. After almost a year, no fix, and no clue on when there will be a fix, I will be leaving Ram very soon and probably won't be back.!! If you buy a Ram, DON'T BUY A LIMITED.!!

Best ram I have ever owned

You do not pay taxes on money you inherit
Q. I just inherited some money from my father's estate. I was wondering how much I should put aside to pay my inheritance tax.
A. There seems to be a lot of confusion on how an estate is taxed when a person dies. There are no taxes imposed against a person who inherits money. In other words, you will not pay any taxes. There may, however, be estate taxes imposed against the estate, but only if it was a large estate. Currently, estates under $5 million do not pay any taxes. If your father's estate was valued at more than $5 million, the estate would have to pay taxes, but any money you received would be tax free.
Q. I was told the University of Houston Law Center had students who could help with consumer problems. How do I get in touch with them?
A. The program you are referring to is the Texas Consumer Complaint Center. I started the Center six years ago at the University of Houston. It is staffed by attorneys and law students who always work under an attorney's supervision. The center helps with just about any type of consumer problem, such as debt collection, landlord/tenant, automobile, construction and service contracts. Although we do not represent consumers in court, we do everything else we can to get matters resolved. The center does not charge for its services and can be reached at (877)839-8422, or www.texasccc.com.
Q. My wife and I separated. She has moved to California. If I file for a divorce in Texas, will she be entitled to alimony under California law?
A. If the divorce is filed in Texas, Texas law will control.
Q. I did something I probably should not have done at work, and was told to take a week off without pay. Am I entitled to be paid? I heard that in Texas you cannot be suspended without pay.
A. There is no law I know of that requires that an employer pay a suspended employee. Whether a suspension is with or without pay is up to the employer.
Q. I am owed $16,000 from an unpaid loan. I know the limit in small claims court is $10,000. I don't want to hire an attorney to file in county court. Can I just sue for $10,000 so I can file in small claims court?
A. As you know, the jurisdictional limit in small claims court is $10,000. The limit, however, is based on the amount in dispute, not how much you request. As you state, the amount in dispute is $16,000. You cannot ask for less than you are actually owed to get within the court's jurisdiction.
Q. Can I be arrested for not paying my credit card bill? A debt collector told me if I didn't make a partial payment, he would have me arrested.
A. You cannot be arrested simply for not being able to pay your debts. There is no debtor's prison in Texas. If you don't pay the money you owe, you may be sued, but you cannot be put in jail. In fact, the threat to throw you in jail for not paying your bills violates both federal and state debt collection laws. For more information about what may happen if you don't pay your bills, look at the debt collection section on my Web site.
Q. My father recently passed away. I am his only living heir. He didn't own very much, but he did have a car. How do I transfer title to my name? Do I have to hire an attorney and go through probate?
A. You should be able to do this yourself. Changing the title to an automobile after death should not be a complicated process. To transfer title, you can use what is called an affidavit of heirship to a motor vehicle. This form allows you to transfer title to the person who is the deceased person's heir. For a free copy of an affidavit of heirship, check out the "Wills" section on my Web site, www.peopleslawyer.net.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - On a sunny, blue-skied Saturday morning, the MIT men's lightweight crew team opened up its spring season against the University of Pennsylvania first and the University of Delaware later on in the day. The Engineers fielded four boats in four different heats, three of which were Varsity 8's and the last was a Novice 4 that was a combination of MIT and Penn rowers.
MIT's Varsity 8 A boat, which set out soon after sunrise, completed the course with a time of 6:18.7, finishing right after Penn with its 6:16.5. The Engineers' B boat was the second fastest in the next run with a 6:32.1, a little behind Penn's first boat with its time of 6:22.6 and a few seconds ahead of the Quakers' B boat with a 6:38.3. The final Varsity 8 boat finished the course with a 7:07.2, soon after Penn's 6:51.0.
The MIT/Penn combination Novice 4 boat finished in 8:20.4, while the Penn boat was an 8:10.6.
In the second race of the day against Delaware, MIT's boat completed the course with the fastest time of 6:21.7 and was followed by Delaware in 6:27.5. The Engineers' B boat crossed the line with a time of 6:25.7, cutting time from this morning's race against Penn and finishing just after Delaware's boat with a 6:22.9. In the final race of the day, MIT had the third fastest time in 7:08.3 behind Delaware's varsity and freshman boats with times of 6:34.0 and 6:47.6.
Next Saturday, the Engineers will travel to New Haven, Conn. to compete in the Joy Cup against Yale and Georgetown.

Spark your creativity with these designs.
The Nike Epic React Flyknit 2 By You takes smooth, lightweight performance to the next level with custom design features, colours and accents. Made for comfort, the Flyknit upper contours to your foot while durable Nike React technology defies the odds by being both soft and responsive.
Choose a laceless, easy-on, easy-off base, or one with more traditional lacing for a customisable fit. Both designs come in breathable Flyknit material that contours to your foot.
Pick your colours for the laces or tongue tab, midsole and outsole. Make the heel clip pop with a metallic finish and choose your finish for your Swoosh design: solid, metallic or reflective.
Add your name, favourite race or an inspirational message close to the back tab in the signature React font.
- Nike React technology delivers an extremely smooth ride.
- Full Flyknit upper delivers lightweight flexibility and breathability.
- Inner sleeve is designed for easy entry.
- Contoured foam collar is cut low for a snug, comfortable fit around your ankle.
- Geometric, athlete-informed outsole pattern helps evenly disperse impact to provide a smooth transition and a soft feel.
- Outsole geometry and Nike React technology work together to support your foot through your entire footstrike.
Nike Flyknit technology was inspired by feedback from runners seeking a shoe with the snug (and virtually unnoticeable) fit of a sock. Nike embarked on a four-year mission with teams of programmers, engineers and designers to create the technology needed to make the knit upper with static properties for structure and durability. Then the precise placement of support, flexibility and breathability—all in 1 layer—was refined. The result is a material that's precision-engineered down to the last stitch, giving you lightweight, breathable support with less waste than traditional footwear manufacturing.

U.S. hovers close to its debt ceiling / Treasury boss says government business could be affected
If consumers are overextended with credit, they're not alone. The U.S. government is poised to exceed its charge card limit and may have to quit paying its bills unless Congress raises the national debt limit soon.
That's what Treasury Secretary John Snow said in a recent letter to Congress, warning that unless the current $8.2 trillion debt ceiling is raised by mid-March, "we will be unable to continue to finance government operations."
In the last 50 years, the United States has raised its debt ceiling more than 70 times, and budget watchers say lawmakers have become expert at delaying or disguising this politically perilous task.
MBA BY THE BAY: Find out how an MBA could change your life with SFGATE's interactive directory of Bay Area MBA programs.
"The antics they go through are incredible, and they've gotten worse," said Maya MacGuineas, president of the nonpartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget in Washington, D.C.
For instance, in his Dec. 29 letter, Snow said that while the debt limit "will be reached in mid-February 2006," he could delay default for a month using "available prudent and legal actions."
These actions, MacGuineas said, would include putting IOUs instead of cash into federal retirement accounts -- a tactic that Clinton administration Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin first employed in 1996, when Republican lawmakers balked at raising a debt ceiling then at $4.9 trillion.
Back then, some lawmakers in the Republican-controlled House of Representatives called for Rubin's impeachment, saying his action usurped the powers of Congress. But in 2002, when the Bush administration was about to hit the $5.95 trillion debt limit it inherited from President Bill Clinton, then-Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill employed Rubin's tactic to buy time until Congress raised the debt ceiling to $6.4 trillion in June.
Alas, that limit lasted just 11 months. In May 2003, Congress authorized borrowing of $7.4 trillion. In November 2004, lawmakers upped the credit ante to $8.184 trillion. Now, Snow says the limit must be raised yet again to protect "the 'full faith and credit' of the United States."
Late last year, the Republican-controlled House of Representatives wrote a $781 billion increase in the debt ceiling into its budget. The Senate, also controlled by Republicans, has yet to act.
The federal debt is so mind-boggling it's no wonder lawmakers would rather not think about it. In per capita terms, the current debt is about $27,000 for each of 298 million Americans.
But economists tend to look at the national debt as a percentage of the gross domestic product -- the sum total of all goods and services. This links the debt level to the nation's ability to pay and factors out inflation over time.
By this measure, the national debt has ebbed and flowed with world and political currents. According to historical tables in the 2006 federal budget, debt peaked at 121.7 percent of GDP in 1946 because of World War II spending. It fell to about 33 percent of GDP in 1980, then roughly doubled to the 60 percent range during the administrations of President Ronald Reagan and the first President George Bush.
After hitting 67.3 percent of GDP in 1996, a few rare budget surpluses during the Clinton era drove the national debt back down to about 57 percent in 2001.
Debt as a percentage of GDP turned up again as the Bush administration began running deficits and now stands at an estimated 65.7 percent of GDP. The 2006 budget forecast predicts that the national debt will be 70 percent of GDP in 2010.
Nonpartisan budget watchers say the current debt load isn't the problem. They worry about what happens after 2010, when retiring Baby Boomers begin placing demands on Social Security and Medicare.
"It's not where we are. It's the trajectory we're on," said Douglas Holtz-Eakin, who just stepped down as head of the Congressional Budget Office, the nonpartisan research arm of Congress.
As his last official act, Holtz-Eakin sent Congress six scenarios that look at federal spending and debt through 2050. All six assume that Social Security benefits will be paid as required by current law. The differences lie in how much inflation occurs in Medicare and Medicaid; higher or lower levels of taxation; and whether, or how deeply, Congress curbs spending on defense and other programs.
The scenario that follows current trends leads to an eye-popping national debt of 449 percent of GDP in 2050. Seen another way, in this business-as-usual scenario, it would cost 21.4 percent of GDP to pay just the interest on the federal debt in 2050. In 2005, the comparable figure was 1.5 percent.
Other scenarios make what Holtz-Eakin calls the "miraculous" assumption that medical cost inflation will fall below current levels, or count on politically tough choices to raise taxes or cut many spending programs.
"There is no single lever one can pull to bring the spending level into balance," he said.
Brookings Institution economist Alice Rivlin was founding director of the Congressional Budget Office in 1975 and was vice chair of the Federal Reserve Board in the late 1990s. She agreed with Holtz-Eakin that the current debt load isn't really the problem.
"The scary part is that there doesn't seem to be any prospects for getting the deficit under control," Rivlin said, adding that in this light, "raising the debt ceiling is a sort of red flag that says, 'You've got a real problem here.' "
But political leaders have become adept at keeping that red flag from attracting too much attention. When Snow wrote Congress before the new year, there were few on Capitol Hill to read his letter or the retort by Rep. James Spratt, D-S.C., the ranking Democrat on the House Budget Committee, who blamed the Republican-run White House and Congress for "a 50 percent increase in the statutory debt, all accumulated on the Bush administration's watch."
Budget watcher MacGuineas said the ceiling must be raised. To do otherwise would cause a financial crisis. But it will be done as quietly as possible, to avoid discussion of the tough choices that must ultimately be made.
"What bothers me most is the generational aspect," she said. "We are leaving an economy with huge debt, huge promises. And it's only going to get worse."

HIV/AIDS News
Gene Therapy Prolongs CD4+ T Cell Survival in HIV-Infected Individuals
In a small study of HIV-infected people, researchers supported in part by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) have shown that a novel form of gene therapy can prolong, with no apparent side effects, the survival of critical immune system cells that are typically depleted during the course of HIV disease. Gary Nabel, M.D., Ph.D., of the University of Michigan, and his colleagues report their findings in the April 2, 1996 Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Dr. Nabel's paper is the first published report of a gene therapy study in which doctors have treated HIV-infected patients with their own CD4+ T cells that have been modified with an antiviral gene. The approach has the advantage of not requiring cells from donors who would need to be matched immunologically with the recipient.
This work is an example of NIAID's commitment to the development of innovative therapies for HIV-infected people," says Anthony S. Fauci, M.D., NIAID director.
This pilot study suggests that gene transfer can be used to prolong the survival of CD4+ T cells and may, ultimately, help to sustain the immune systems of HIV-infected people," says Dr. Nabel, also an investigator at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. "Additional studies, now under way, will help to define the optimal methods of CD4+ T cell gene transfer and determine the clinical efficacy of this approach."
In the study, the researchers drew blood from three HIV-infected people, and separated out each patient's CD4+ T cells. These cells, sometimes called "T-helper" cells, are the main targets of HIV.
Into these cells, which were treated with two antiretroviral drugs to block HIV replication, the researchers inserted one of two altered HIV rev genes. Normally, rev produces a protein, Rev, that allows transport of certain HIV genetic material within the infected cell from the nucleus to the cytoplasm, a critical step in viral replication.
Into half the cells from each patient, the researchers inserted an altered rev gene that produces a defective protein, Rev M10, which suppresses HIV replication by competing with the function of normal Rev. The altered rev gene was developed in the late 1980s in the laboratory of NIAID grantee Bryan Cullen, Ph.D., of Duke University.
Into the other cells from each patient, the scientists inserted a "dummy" gene that produces a protein that does not compete with normal Rev, and therefore has no anti-HIV activity.
The researchers treated both sets of cells with interleukin-2 to expand them to large numbers, and then re-infused each patient with their own cells. The patients were monitored closely, and the researchers tracked the survival of both Rev M10-producing cells and the cells with the "dummy" rev gene. As had previously been shown in test tube experiments, the CD4+ T cells expressing Rev M10 persisted longer than the cells with the "dummy" gene.
"Our data suggest that genetically modified cells can be detected, and the cells expressing Rev M10 demonstrated a 4- to 5-fold selective survival advantage," the authors write.
None of the patients in the pilot trial experienced any adverse effects from the treatment. "These results indicate that this form of genetic treatment could be used safely in a larger number of HIV-infected patients," says Dr. Nabel.
Dr. Nabel is the principal investigator of a research team sponsored by the Strategic Programs for Innovative Research on AIDS Treatment (SPIRAT), an initiative of NIAID's Division of AIDS.
"This elegantly designed study circumvented the usual problem of person-to-person variation in clinical trials by essentially using each individual as both a positive and negative control," says Nava Sarver, Ph.D., chief of the Targeted Interventions Branch of NIAID's Division of AIDS, and the program officer for SPIRAT. "This approach already has been emulated by other gene therapy researchers beginning clinical trials."
"Dr. Nabel's work provides critical information as to the feasibility of gene transfer therapy for HIV infection, providing preliminary answers to several important questions," she adds. "For example, we now have evidence that this procedure is safe; that we can insert genes into cells from HIV-infected individuals without inducing HIV replication in cell culture; that we can trace these cells once we put them back into the body; and that delivery of anti-HIV genes using non-viral delivery vehicles (vectors) is feasible."
SPIRAT, launched in 1994, supports studies at the interface of basic and clinical research, leading to the implementation of pilot clinical studies to test novel therapeutic strategies to combat HIV disease. Examples include strategies to restore and maintain a functional immune system via immune cell or tissue restoration, and direct suppression of HIV replication through molecular or cellular mechanisms.
NIAID is a component of the National Institutes of Health. NIAID conducts and supports research to prevent, diagnose and treat illnesses such as AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases, tuberculosis, asthma and allergies. NIH is an agency of the U.S. Public Health Service, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

This looks absolutely amazing! You did a great job! ut-oh... I'm feeling inspired! :)ReplyDelete
Heaven in a closet! Wow! Amazing job!ReplyDelete
I love love love it! My next project was going to be all the closets - 4 in total - yuck! That all have the one shelf one rod storage. I know - who thought that was efficient! I am totally pinning this on my board for inspiration to come back to! Thanks!ReplyDelete
I love it! I'm glad to see that it didn't cost too much because I'll be doing this soon too! Thanks for sharing. :)ReplyDelete
What a great job, I would pay for something like that! I need to do this in my closet and my boys! Maybe that will be my summer project, thanks for sharing!ReplyDelete
This looks so great and I love the price tag!! We added rods in our kids' closets and it works really well to give you that extra space.ReplyDelete
Wow! Love this! I am definitely bookmarking this so I can try it in one of our closets!ReplyDelete
That looks awesome! I need to tackle my boys' closets at some point. I would be happy if they look half as great as yours!ReplyDelete
well done!!ReplyDelete

Stopping in from DIY Showoff--love the closet! I just redid my boys room closet as well as my own and talk about organization! Doesn't it just feel so much better when you make use of a space in the best way possible! Great job! And I get the whole fear of the circular saw. I always have visions of diced of fingers whenever I use ours.ReplyDelete
Loved it! I was thing of using Easy track in my daughters room. I am now rethinking. This is much more budget friendly. I would love a tutorial on how to build this.ReplyDelete
I am having a fine art photograhy giveaway by Melanie Alexandra. She has more than 200 images in her store to choose from. Just leave me a comment telling me which is your favorite image for a chance to win.
I love this. Nice job! I am sharing it on my blog.ReplyDelete
Inspiring ideas for fixing my son's closet.
Nice job Anna!! I've been putting off redoing 3 of our closets because of cost : ( But your post just inspired me to ask my husband to do it! LOL!! (I wouldn't know where to start)ReplyDelete
Hi Anna, I found you from Thrifty Decor Chick's link party. I absolutely love what you did with the closet and can't believe you did it on your own. I mean, no store-bought-ready-to-assemble storage system? Awesome! I'm officially a new subscriber. Feel free to check out my blog if you'd like. :)ReplyDelete
beautiful! I have been thinking about doing something like this in our master bedroom walk-in, it's cool to see what you can do for so little!ReplyDelete
Do you have a step-by-step of how you did the closet? For those of us without a knowledgable brother-in-law? :D PLEEEAAASSEEE?ReplyDelete
Love this!! I also have two boys and would love a step by step directions! Thank you for sharingReplyDelete
Love it! You're filling me with ideas of what I could achieve. I have basic knowledge and all the tools... now I just need time, guts and determination!ReplyDelete

There are so many great things you can do with closets. The one in my guest room houses my office (which can be closed away when we have company, yay). How did you make the shelves? I wonder if a tall bookshelf would work as a low cost alternative? Thanks for the post. I found your blog through apartment therapy. Love It!!!ReplyDelete
What material did you use for the shelving? Were the edges pre-finished, or did you finish edges of plywood yourself?ReplyDelete
My boys need this in their life! For reals... if only I had tools and your brother's handiness. :/ReplyDelete
Hello!!! Love the closet. Question where did you buy the shelves from?ReplyDelete
Our house was built in 1960, so while it might have more closet space than a turn-of-the-century home, it still ranks low by today's storage ... oclosetshelves.blogspot.comReplyDelete
Where do you get the shelving from?ReplyDelete
I'm wondering how you secured the green vertical shelves and dividers? Just caulk? Thanks!ReplyDeleteReplies
I would like to know this as well. Looking to build this in my kids closest but not sure the best way to attach the vertical dividers in the shelving unit.Delete
I would guess a few screws from the outside or with dowel pins like I will do to hide the screw heads. You could also use a countersink to sink the heads deeper into the wood and then fill with wood putty, sand and paint.Delete
Thank you for sharing this amazing closet. I will need to make some adjustments because my closet is smaller but this gives me a good start idea.ReplyDelete
This just how I wanted to redesign my husband's closet. Thank you for your post.ReplyDelete
Can you give better instructions on how this was built??Did you use screws on the outside wall to fasten the inside shelves?ReplyDelete
Where are you able to find shelves and supplies?ReplyDelete
Looks great. What was the height of the double rods?ReplyDelete
This is not meant to be critical, after all I'm about as novice as it gets to DIY, but I'm wondering why all your 1" x 4" cleats are longer than the width of your shelves, so that they are sticking out?ReplyDeleteReplies
You would typically have the cleats coming out to the distance of another stud. To have it secured calling is also a great way for extra strength.Delete
Looks good. How wide is the closet? in total and how wide are the three different sections? Thank you.ReplyDelete
How or where did you get the center piece for the closet? My son's closet is exactly the same size and I would love the change it to this look! you did a great job.ReplyDelete
Totally awesome posting! Loads of valuable data and motivation, both of which we all need!Relay welcome your work. digital print shirtsReplyDelete

Starting Wednesday, a visit to the Registry of Motor Vehicles to register your vehicle will require that you produce documentation showing �proof of legal residence.�
That measure was added by the Legislature in July in response to concerns that vehicles could too easily be registered to illegal immigrants and even unlicensed drivers � part of the public outcry following the death of 23-year-old Matthew Denice of Milford, who was killed in August 2011 when struck by a pickup truck being driven by an Ecuadorian man who was in the country illegally.
Unfortunately, the RMV�s new policy has been implemented with a yawning loophole. Applicants may offer a utility or cell phone bill as proof of residence. That, critics charge, violates the spirit of the July legislation.
The critics are right. It�s a simple matter to tell a phone or utility company that you�ll take care of the account and have them send you a bill. That�s hardly the kind of proof represented by a Social Security number or state-issued ID. A valid driver�s license is also no guarantee that someone is legally entitled to be in Massachusetts � foreign workers can obtain a license legally and then overstay their visas � but it does offer some assurance.
In keeping with the spirit in which the new law was passed, and out of respect for Mr. Denice and others who have been victimized by illegal aliens who have no business driving in Massachusetts, the RMV needs to tighten the rules.

The news that the House Oversight Committee will vote next week on whether to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress, for refusing to turn over subpoenaed documents in the Fast and Furious investigation, was met with silence from the Big Three (ABC, NBC, CBS) network news shows. There was no mention of the Holder hearings on Monday's evening news shows or Tuesday's morning shows.
The blackout of the Holder hearings continues a stunning trend. Since December 2010, when the Fast and Furious scandal first broke, there have been zero stories about the gunwalking scandal on NBC Nightly News and Today show. On ABC there was only one brief aired on Good Morning America. Only CBS has truly covered the story, mainly due to the work of one reporter, Sharyl Attkisson. Since Attkisson broke the gunwalking story, there have been a total of 30 full stories and 1 brief aired on CBS's Evening News and This Morning programs.
Curiously, Attkisson's stories on the gunwalking scandal have screeched to a halt.
From February 4 through this morning's news there has been only one report (An Erica Hill brief on the May 3 This Morning) on the Fast and Furious controversy. It's not as if Attkisson stopped paying attention, as she authored a story for CBSNews.com on Tuesday, but oddly her reporting did not make the air on that night's CBS Evening News with Scott Pelley.
The following brief, aired on the May 3, 2012 CBS This Morning, represents the sum total of stories by the Big 3 on the Fast and Furious scandal in over a month:
ERICA HILL: There is new information this morning in the Fast and Furious gunwalking operation, first exposed last year by our own Sharyl Attkisson. Sources tell CBS News that today lawmakers will take the first formal step toward charging Attorney General Eric Holder with contempt of Congress. Republicans on the House Oversight Committee accused Holder of obstructing their investigation. In Fast and Furious, U.S. officials allowed thousands of guns to flow from the U.S. into Mexico. Two of those guns were later found at the scene where a U.S. border patrol agent was murdered.

I have a surehands lift with a sling and am going to purchase some type of hanging scale. Has anybody with this brand of lift adopted a hanging scale to use with this brand and what were your adaptations needed? which scale did you use?
At first glance I can see that the 4 points for the sling will have to be joined to a common point for attaching to the scale.
I plan on doing it from the sitting position off of my exercise table and as soon as my butt clears the table and my weight is on the scale I wouldn't go up any higher, thus keeping it safe.
