Ford Offers Buyouts to All UAW Workers
Ford Motor Company offered a buyout to its 41,000 United Auto Workers yesterday after the union overwhelmingly rejected a proposed cost-cutting deal in November.
Reuters reported:
Ford Motor Co (F.N) said on Monday it is offering its 41,000 U.S. factory workers buyouts and early retirement offers in a bid to reduce its payroll costs as it aims to return to profit by 2011. The buyouts mark the second round of such offers for Ford workers represented by the United Auto Workers union this year.
About 1,000 workers took Ford's earlier offer in July. While Ford was the only U.S. automaker to have avoided bankruptcy in the past year, its relative success has complicated efforts to win concessions from its major union. Ford workers have until late January to accept the offer, which includes payouts of up to $70,000 cash for newer hires to $60,000 cash for veterans already eligible for retirement. "Despite a strengthening in our business, we still have a surplus in employees," said Ford spokesman Mark Truby.
…Last month, UAW workers overwhelmingly rejected a proposed cost-cutting deal for Ford that would have changed the terms of a labor contract which runs until 2011.

In the morning we headed out together to scout an area northeast of our bases. Neither of us have explored that direction earlier because of the challenging mountainous terrain. We both have sniper rifles constructed now, and Timo said to me, "What we'll do is stop at the top of each peak, and use our scopes to see as much as we can. Just keep an eye on your sensors to watch for any drones approaching."
We traversed three mountains before we detected an alien structure on the peak of the next one. Looking through my scope, I said, "The facility looks like it could be an abandoned research center." My assessment was based on the extensive windows and modular style of architecture.
"Yeah, it appears undefended," he agreed. "It looks safe; let's go check it out." We approached cautiously and were harassed by a drone, just as we arrived at the structure. Timo sniped it and examined its wreckage to salvage anything useful from it. I checked my PDA again–this is the tallest peak we've seen on Akua–but it still has no long-range signal.
Timo took a few steps toward me, and right then a small vessel carrying ground troops flew in from the south. We began firing on it as soon as it was in range, and it was severely damaged by the time it passed over my head. I continued to shoot, and it would've taken just one or two more rounds to disable that ship. It dropped down on the north side of the mountain peak, and I followed because I knew I could finish it off.
I heard Timo shout, "Get back! Get back!" but it was too late. I reached the edge and took aim at the vessel, and was teleported 20 meters away by the emergency teleporter that I just installed in my base the other day. "What happened?" he asked as I returned.
I told him about the teleporter and apologized for not telling him sooner. That was stupid of me! The teleporter is able to detect when my spacesuit is damaged, and I'm sent to a nearby location with a repaired suit. All of my gear fell in the spot I would've died though, and it's too valuable to leave it behind.
I gave Timo the co-ordinates and access code for him to use the teleporter if he needed to. He thanked me and said, "I thought I just saw you vaporized by a laser turret… There's a spaceport down below–in the valley–and the turret does terrible damage!" He provided cover for me while I followed his orders: stay low, grab my gear and retreat. The turret hit me again on several attempts, while Timo successfully killed the ground troops that were defending the spaceport.
Finally I retrieved my gear when the turret blasted a crater beside it, and I was able to take cover in it while I collected my stuff. I made it back up the slope and heard the gunshots stop. Timo was hit too, and told me to leave while I could. I followed his order again, but it felt horrible to leave him behind, without any assistance to get his own gear back.
"I have to give up," he told me through the communicator. I stopped and waited for him to catch up with me, then we rushed back to his base. "Thanks again for building a teleporter for us," he said. "We would've died there."
I replied, "I'm sorry I didn't wait for your orders back there. None of this would've happened if I hadn't gone after the troop transport."
He shook his head and told me, "I'm not your commanding officer anymore–we're in this together. We're a team now."
It was emotionally overwhelming to hear him say that. This day was so intense, and I've been feeling such strong things. I also feel less and less like an ensign of Dreschner Corp., but I've never been away from their control and protection. This is all very confusing for me and I don't know what it means.
I wasn't thinking about the Corporation at all while I rode home this evening. I was–and still am–caught up in feelings for Timo. I might be falling in love, although I have no idea what that would even feel like. A total lack of personal attachments is what we all had to have to serve on this pre-settlement mission. I can't deny I'm attached to him now, and it seems he feels the same way about me. Maybe not exactly the same! But he's acting more at ease with me.

Anyway, a white tshirt is one of the basics. There is so many ways to wear it! Dress it up or down, you just can't go wrong.. I love the accessories I paired with this outfit! I'm not big on statement necklaces, but this one is perfect! I've always wanted a hat like this, so when I found it at Wet Seal for $10, I had to get it! The shoes just pull the whole outfit together!

Representative Steve Reick Seeks Property Tax Relief for Seniors with Filing of HB 3013
on Tuesday, February 14, 2017
HB 3013, filed on February 9, would provide seniors on fixed incomes with the ability to enjoy a tax credit equal to 5% of the taxes paid on their principal residence. "Today, Illinois taxpayers get a bit of property tax relief through this credit, but the credit is 'non-refundable,' which means that if it exceeds one's income tax liability, the balance isn't refunded to the taxpayer," said Reick. "This affects seniors particularly, since a great number of them live on pension and social security income, which is not taxable in Illinois. My bill would remedy that."
Specifically, HB 3013 would extend the property tax credit to include people over the age of 65 whose federal adjusted gross income is under $50,000. "Until we find a way to reduce property taxes for everyone, I'm making an effort to reduce taxes for seniors living on fixed incomes," Reick said. "In Illinois, where property taxes continue to creep upward, those on fixed incomes are desperate for relief. This credit usually won't be much, but it may help a senior citizen with an electric bill, some groceries or a prescription. It's a good small step that can be taken right away while we figure out how to provide substantive relief to everyone in the state."
HB 3013 is pending assignment to a substantive committee for review.

Build a site that is designed with your buyers' needs in mind, then implement SEO strategies so that they can locate what you have to offer. Keep your customers needs in mind and meet them; don't make assumptions about what they want.
If you want to have successful SEO results, you need a site map. If you have a site map, web crawlers will find your site more easily. Larger sites should have several maps. You don't want more than 100 different links for each map.
There are many tricks that you can use to improve your SEO. Many resources are available to help you with learning SEO strategies. Try purchasing some highly-rated books or reading some popular websites to learn what you need to know.
Blogging increases your presence in search engine results. This in turn will increase the number of visitors to your site.
Site Map
If you listen to some people out there, they still think that putting keywords in the comment tag section will make them more visible. Focus instead on the content within your website.
Placing a site map on your webpage will not only boost the traffic your site gets on a daily basis, but also its overall ranking. A site map is a list of links that can go to any page on your site. Visitors will utilize the links you have created and this will effectively increase traffic to your site.
To avoid the spam filters of the search engines, avoid duplicating any content on your site. Sometimes you might even be posting duplicate content and not even know that you are. You might think you're saving time by using a certain product description over again, but this is going to be viewed a different way by search engines.
Article exchange can help you to improve your rankings. Post an article from another site on your own and they will do the same on theirs, both of which include a link back to the other site. This type of SEO has more success than traditional link exchanges do.
Podcasts are an excellent way to deliver content. You can include both audio and video content in a podcast, just be sure it is content your users care about. Podcasts are popular, and a lot of people are doing this. All you need is a video camera. You will then have descriptions of the podcasts show up in search engines.
To make sure you have a page of your site that does well in search engines, keywords should be put in the URL of your page. Should there be special characters or numbers in the URL, you must consider whether people will actually search using them. This can hurt your search rankings. Using essential keywords that are related to your site's content can greatly boost a page's traffic.
Including captions on your webpage is one of the best ways to optimize your site. Use articles, photos and other content to add keywords to. This will bring you more traffic.
Adding keywords to comment tags is believed to be a good practice. Instead, you should concentrate on enhancing the content of your site.
Your title tag important so give it plenty of thought. The title tag is often the first thing website viewers see when visiting. It should be a unique description of the content that is located on your website and contain keywords that are related to your website. In addition, keep it short.
You site should be easy to navigate and to read. If you want to improve your search engine ranking, make sure you site is neatly designed and accessible for a variety of users. Your website should be accessible and easy for your readers to engage in and simple for search engines to recognize.
Remember that Javascript isn't readable by search engines. In other words, Java is something you can choose, but because of the uniqueness of the script. It is possible that web crawlers will not pick up on the site the way you might expect.
Make use of online advertising. Two good ideas are adbrite and adwords. Trying to work with SEO yourself can sometimes not yield you extra traffic on your site. Advertisers will help you bring in targeted visitors. Using these advertising products from the big search engines like Google could brings great traffic to your site.
The options are limitless when it comes to ways to improve your sites ranking, but trying to learn them all is not the best option. New techniques are cropping up every day, but mastering even one will dramatically improve the success of your content.
Your title tag deserves your attention. This information is the first thing visitors see when visiting your website. It needs to be a description that's unique, while containing the keywords that have to do with your site. But, you must also keep things as brief as you can.
Make sure to use the right kind of anchor text when developing links for the site. Stay away from particular words and phrases, as they will be of no use to you. You can get the assistance you need with anchor text from a SEO professional.
When writing the first paragraph of a website, try to write introductory sentences that can also serve as HTML meta description content in tags. Search engines have the option of using this text instead of the HTML tag. Badly written content here is not going to fare well for you.
Think as a consumer when selecting search engine optimization keywords. Determine the relevant terms visitors are using when they use search engines.
Put yourself in your customer's shoes. If you were looking for your website, what key words would you use? Once you've come up with a list, use them around your website. These keywords should be added in content and titles, but be careful of overusing these keywords since search engine might label it as spam, which would drop your ranking.
On-page SEO is crucial when it comes to marketing your site; therefore, be sure to optimize your website. Ranking high in Google can mean the difference between having visitors overlook you and gaining visitors. Retain a layout that meets and exceeds the benchmarks of SEO.
It's a bad idea to use one, isolated page to collect all of your links to other websites. You should do all you can to make your links an integral part of your website's content. Pages filled with only links are boring and search engines don't rank them highly. If your links flow naturally with your content, it will improve your relationship with both human readers and search engine bots.
Directory submissions, message forums, blogs, article writing and press releases will all help you to get high quality inbound links that are directed to your site. Developing outbound links is a big key to SEO success.
One vital tip in regards to SEO is to include current topics or events that you can and tying it to your service or product. This helps to glean visitors who are not searching specifically for what you offer. This is also a good way to keep your site interesting to existing visitors.
If you decide to purchase a site, ask the host if they can forward your old page to the new one. That enables website users to reach your new page with their older bookmarks. You can also make it so that visitors who type in your old domain name will be automatically redirected to your new domain name as well.
The information regarding your domain ownership should never be blocked. If your domain is registered with Google, and it has a block on it, you can be seen as spam, and you won't get ranked in search results.
You want to make sure that you're pursuing email marketing in the right way because it's a great promotional tool. Use your keywords in your emails, too, and include social media links. Make sure visitors can easily forward emails to others.
Search Engine
Don't hop from niche to niche, but be sure to provide plenty of content spanning many different topics. For instance, if you have a baseball blog, include articles on topics such as baseball equipment and baseball cards. When you publish multiple articles on a variety of topics, you increase your search engine exposure and will gain a greater number of visitors to your site.
A created search engine with defined parameters gives the individual the ability to easily enhance the performance of his or her search engine. To help your site climb in the ranks, you should try back linking to it from other articles. There are several web pages, like hub pages, that will enable you to do this.
This will help you raise your search rankings. Meta descriptions are best thought of as a request for action, as they appear beneath the hyperlink for the website in most search engines. Some content systems have places for you to change the meta description for each of your sites.
Never, ever, EVER publish the same article twice on your website! This can be viewed as a cheating attempt by Google and can damage your Page Rank. Having people on a couple different pages linking the same material can also diminish the count of the incoming links. That can greatly reduce your Page Rank.
Make sure to use keyword phrases and keywords in your META tags. This is great for boosting your website's ranks. You must ensure that the keyword phrases you use are popular ones among your customers.
Putting your website in a prime place to be found is what search engine optimization is all about. The article you have just read gave you multiple tips on how to make this happen for you. Applying these simple tricks will get your website noticed in no time, so increase your traffic today!
Try to be creative and inclusive in the descriptions that you use with meta tags. That's where it will make a difference, more so than in the content. All well-composed meta tags should be both accurate and enticing.

The first edition of the Nook tablet was quite unpleasant to use as it was slightly bulky. But the New Nook is just the reverse of the earlier one. It weighs about 35 percent lighter than the previous model.
The distinction between the two editions is very clear once we have it in our hands. The size and weight of the new Nook makes it easier to hold than the currently used version which is incorporated with a physical keyboard and doesn't have touchscreen displays. It can be easily operated using the thumbs.
Recently, the Barnes and Noble have made an announcement that they are spinning off the Nook tablet business. But soon after this, there is a rumour that the company has plans to launch a new Nook device. In a recent Sunday article of New York Times, reported about the battle between the Banes & Noble with Amazon. The New York Times also hinted that a new reader could be launched within the next few months.
The article says that Barnes & Noble is trying to cope up with Amazon by introducing their new device. The device is undergoing the final touches at the labs in Silicon Valley. The fifth e-reading device is expected to launch this spring. These details were revealed by a Barnes & Noble Spokeswoman. They didn't respond instantly to the questions that have popped by the PCMag. It is not very clear whether the gadget will be a tablet or an e- reader.
The CEO of the Barnes & Nobles said that it is the right time to research about the several options to unchain the Nook brand. In the announcements, the Barnes and Noble stated that they failed to rise up to the expectations in the sales of Nook tablet and Nook simple touch. A tremendous increment has taken place in the case of holiday sales and it has increased the revenue up to $1.2 billion.
The Barnes and Nobles added that they are already set to launch a new device before spinning off. The new Nook tablet was unveiled by the Barnes and Banes in November for a price in the range of Rs 12, 500, but at the same time their rival Amazon has made the launch of Kindle Fire at a price of Rs 10,000/-.
Amazon claims that they have sold about Kindle devices in the month of December. In this week an analyst has projected that the Amazon has sold 6 million Kindle Fire tablets. The battle is going to get more intense with the new Nook tablet round the corner.

MUSIC: An Antidote To Cognitive Imperialism by Thomas H. Troeger
The Theology and Practice of Church Music
From: Music As Prayer
The columnist and commentator David Brooks has written that one of the major ways we are changing as a culture is in how we understand human cognition. We are coming to see that our varied ways of knowing need to be integrated. Brooks begins one of his columns by observing that an exclusive focus on rational ways of knowing distorts who we are as human beings. It makes us what he calls "divided creatures." In a culture of divided creatures, things operate this way: "Reason, which is trustworthy, is separate from the emotions, which are suspect. Society progresses to the extent that reason can suppress the passions. This has created a distortion in our culture. When we raise our kids, we focus on the traits measured by grades and SAT scores. But when it comes to the most important things, like character and how to build relationships, we often have nothing to say. Yet while we are trapped within this amputated view of human nature, a richer and deeper view is coming back into view. It is being brought to us by researchers across an array of diverse fields: neuroscience, psychology, sociology, behavioral economics and so on. I suspect their work will have a giant effect on culture. It will change how we see ourselves."
To assert that one way of human knowing is the only way or the highest way is what I call cognitive imperialism. It claims to vanquish other ways of knowing on the basis of an unfounded assumption. To give you a feeling for how cognitive imperialism diminishes the richness of human experience and expression, here is a brief mental experiment, based on a presentation I heard some years ago.
If you want to define what a tiger is, you can turn to a dictionary and get a description in scientific language: "A large carnivorous feline mammal, Panthera tigris, of Asia, having a tawny coat with transverse black stripes." Or you might turn to a poet:
Tiger Tiger, burning bright,
In the forests of the night;
What immortal hand or eye.
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
(William Blake)
If you are a zookeeper and a tiger is sick, Blake's poem will not be helpful. And if you want to express the wonder of creation, the dictionary definition falls flat. But if you want to convey the wholeness of tiger, you need multiple ways of knowing. You need both science and poetry.
The so-called new atheists – Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, Christopher Hitchens – exercise cognitive imperialism. Karen Armstrong points out in her book, The Case for God, that atheists insist – as do fundamentalists of every persuasion – that "there is only one way of interpreting reality. For the new atheists, scientism alone can lead us to truth."
Of course, people of any one group of discipline can be susceptible to cognitive imperialism. But if David Brooks is right, then our changing culture is now engaged in the process of leaving behind cognitive imperialism. Brooks believes that a "richer and deeper view" of human knowing is "coming back into view."
If it is "coming back into view," where was it in view originally? One of the first disciplines I think of is music, particularly the music of organists and singers. I recall from my childhood the physicians, medical researchers, and other people of science who made music in and out of church, and I think with admiration of the musicians I have worked with in my adult life who are equally skilled at working in the laboratory, playing an instrument, or singing. Of course, they practice the scientific method, but with equal aplomb they relish the joy of making music. In doing so they provide the perfect antidote to cognitive imperialism: the wholeness of their lives gives witness to the fact that reality is filled with too much wonder and beauty to be reduced to a single way of knowing and being.

Washington Post columnist Anne Applebaum wrote on October 18, 2011 in "What the Occupy protests tell us about the limits of democracy:"
"[The worldwide protests, OWS and prior anti-globalization protests] are similar in their lack of focus, in their inchoate nature, and above all in their refusal to engage with existing democratic institutions. In New York, marchers chanted, 'This is what democracy looks like,' but actually, this isn't what democracy looks like. This is what freedom of speech looks like. Democracy looks a lot more boring. Democracy requires institutions, elections, political parties, rules, laws, a judiciary and many unglamorous, time-consuming activities, none of which are nearly as much fun as camping out in front of St. Paul's Cathedral or chanting slogans on the Rue Saint-Martin in Paris."
She goes on to admit,
however, that in one sense the protesters have a point in that the problems
exceed the capacity of national governments to cope with them: national
governments "cannot command the allegiance of a billion-dollar global hedge
fund, with its headquarters in a tax haven and its employees scattered around
the world."
She ends her article with these two paragraphs: "Although I still believe in globalization's economic and spiritual benefits -- along with open borders, freedom of movement and free trade -- globalization has clearly begun to undermine the legitimacy of Western democracies.
"'Global' activists, if they are not careful, will accelerate that decline. Protesters in London shout, 'We need to have a process!' Well, they already have a process: It's called the British political system. And if they don't figure out how to use it, they'll simply weaken it further."
Applebaum has it right when she complains that globalization is undermining the "legitimacy of Western democracies." The Occupation Movement is right to refuse to engage the political process in the manner that politicians and pundits are accustomed to and can understand. The political process is itself a product of globalization: neoliberal policies are the political expression of globalization. Neoliberal policies exist to promote globalization. And while I haven't the slightest clue what Applebaum means by the "spiritual benefits" of globalization, the protesters know all too well the material and "spiritual benefits" of globalization: yawning gaps between the rich and the rest, booty for the rich, impoverishment and thwarted opportunities for the rest, environmental degradation and disasters on the individual, social, and global levels.
This is reflected in the people in their millions worldwide now
coming to see clearly the tragedy and farce of the existing political
institutions and in the immense popularity of the OWS movement in the U.S. (a 73% favorability rating among New Yorkers). How many issues can command that kind of unanimity?
I was listening to NPR yesterday while driving home from work and the reporters led off with accounts of Obama's bus tour of North Carolina and then followed up with talk about the "excitement" surrounding the GOP presidential debates and the fight between Obama and the Republicans over their differing versions of job bills.
As I'm listening to this prattle I'm thinking to myself: "Thank god for the Occupation Movement. Thank god there are finally large numbers of people in the streets who are showing in unmistakable forms that they see that politics as usual are a farce and a tragedy!" Neither the Democrats nor, certainly, the Republicans, have answers to the plight that the people face. They are part of the problem, not part of a solution. John McCain tells us that the Democrats think they can grow jobs with government spending and that the GOP believes that the way to grow jobs is through growing business with more tax cuts and more deregulation. Yadda, yadda, yadda. Yes, prattle on you increasingly irrelevant fools.The solutions do not lie in following your charade of "democratic institutions" at work. The institutions that are "the democratic process" are working quite nicely for the people who have the real power of the dollar or the pound but are no longer exerting the ideological sway over the people that they used to. Obama's "Hope and Change" led by a black man gambit has worn out its welcome and been revealed for what it was all along: a fraud. And that is all to the good.

Marietta Traffic AttorneyQuite simply, the word "occult" is derived from a Latin phrase (occultus) that indicates, basically, "that which is concealed." The phrase "cult," on the other hand, arrives from a word which indicates "to cultivate." In other phrases, to break down and train up in accordance with the recommended method. That's what this post is all about.
Secret #1: Becoming a capitalist isn't only about income. Because you make a large earnings doesn't assure entrance into the capitalist course. What you require to do is produce a company or income stream that generates money regularly without you having to promote your attempts. For example, Sharon is a Maritime Law Attorney La Place who makes much more than 300K a yr. She places in at minimum eighty hours per 7 days. Rhonda owns a journey agency that generates an yearly income of 300K, but she doesn't have to run it or be concerned in any way. In reality, when she dies, her family will still reap the advantages of strong cash movement. Make your money work for you.
First stage is persistence. No make a difference what your present circumstance, or just how desperate you are, "needing" something will simply keep you in a state of need. Be intelligent. Be ready to take some time to study businesses and opportunites that are provided.
Here is a real lifestyle scenario to summarize the above paragraph. You see a business that has an introductory fee of $199 with a $99 a thirty day period fee. They tell you they deliver letters on your behalf and you do not require to do anything, but they by no means ask you to signal a power of attorney. You maintain examining with the company about development, and they keep telling you "We're operating on it." 20-four months later on you are $2476 in the gap and no progress has been produced. This is all because you needed to steer clear of performing company with a company with confirmed outcomes that charged anywhere from $600 to $1500 simply because you wanted to conserve some cash.
The L.A. edition of "Law & Purchase" debuts in the aftermath of the original "Law & Purchase" series being canceled in May 2010. So why did Howard consider on the commitment of joining the solid of a Tv sequence that could possibly last for a number of years? When he was asked that query in a current phone with convention contact with reporters, Howard was quite candid: He wanted regular work as an actor, and becoming component of the "Law & Purchase" franchise guaranteed a certain level of high quality Television. It also helped that Howard's teenage son is also a enthusiast of the "Law & Order" exhibits. Here is what else Howard experienced to say throughout the job interview.
How could it not be? It, rape, was an accepted apply, an occasion that was celebrated. These slave women had no legal rights to their personal bodies, so it wasn't truly rape, correct? So the perpetrators would go on to live out their normal lives and increase households, while the victims were pressured to endure silently. After all, the rapists had been good individuals. Not monsters who would do some thing as vile as commit a rape.

It's not a new concept and one we have discussed many times but sometimes we need a little reminder.
By spending money in our towns and main streets not only do we boost the economy, we help businesses to grow and employ more locals.
These business owners and employees then spend their money in other local establishments, get involved in community groups and give back where they can.
Sporting clubs are always well backed by a range of local businesses, whether they have a direct involvement or not. They understand how it all works.
This year my netball club adopted a sponsorship program, the first for a number of years, where we asked businesses to donate vouchers to be awarded each week.
While we're not reinventing the wheel and I know others do the same thing, we felt it was important to encourage our members to visit and spend money within our towns.
It may not work, but we're trying to create good habits.
Everyone will admit the Kadina CBD redevelopment has taken its toll on businesses, and shoppers but it's getting to the pointy end now.
The Kadina Chamber of Commerce has offered incentives for shopping locally despite some inconveniences and as crews continue to work through the streets it's much easier to put off that visit or purchase online.
Some people haven't been physically able to access the street while works are ongoing and I realise that alters habits, but the rest of us need to continue to support those businesses.
Our businesses can mix it with the best too, with Jitter Bean Oasis at Lochiel winning a national award for the best cafe — as voted on by customers.
What could be better proof of the quality we have on our own doorstep than that?

"The man's 28-year-old wife was impregnated with sperm donated by his brother.
"The husband in Shiso, Hyogo Prefecture, was instructed (by the city office) to register the baby, who was born in November, as an out-of-wedlock birth for family registration purposes.
"The move has been criticized because other men (who were born male) can register children born through artificial insemination with donated semen as their own offspring.
"The 27-year-old man said he intends to file a petition of objection with the Kobe Family Court if the Shiso city office moves to register the baby as an illegitimate child.
""(The government) recognized my marriage as a man, but does not recognize my paternity," the self-employed husband said. "It doesn't make sense."
"The Justice Ministry said it is aware of five similar cases. Legal battles over such children's status are likely.
"As of last March, 1,468 men and women had legally changed their sex.
"The individual changed his sex to male in his family registration in March 2008 in accordance with a special measures law for those with gender identity disorder that took effect in 2004. He was married the following month.
"When the couple reported the birth to the Shiso city office, municipal officials, citing the husband's sex change, put the case on hold.
"Acting on the Justice Ministry's direction, city officials told the couple in late December to rewrite the birth notification and list the baby as hichakushutsushi (child born out of wedlock) by Tuesday.
"In response to an inquiry from The Asahi Shimbun, the ministry replied in writing: "The special measures law is not intended to go so far as to change the biological sex. Nor does it envision the formation of biological parent-child relationships."
"In cases like the one in Shiso, the family registration shows that the husband was previously a woman, so "it's obvious (when the couple registers a baby) that there is no genetic father-child relationship," the ministry said.
"Artificial insemination with donor semen has been widely used in Japan by couples whose husbands are infertile.
"More than 10,000 children are believed to have been born through this method. Even though there is no genetic father-child relationship, these children have been generally registered as chakushutsushi (child born in wedlock).
"The reason is that family registration officials have no way to determine if the baby was born through artificial insemination with donor semen, a Shiso official said.
"Toshiyuki Oshima, a professor of civil law at Kyushu International University who heads the Japanese Society of Gender Identity Disorder, said that the ministry's view discriminates against people with the disorder.
""(The husband in Shiso) is no different from other husbands with children born through artificial insemination, in that there is no genetic relationship," Oshima said.
"Under civil law, a baby conceived while a woman is married is presumed to be her husband's child.
"In 2007, the Japan Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology's Ethics Committee issued a statement that artificial insemination with donated semen for wives of husbands who legally changed their sex does not violate its guidelines.
"Yasunori Yoshimura, a professor at Keio University's School of Medicine who heads the society, said, "A couple must be legally married to be eligible for artificial insemination with donor semen. There is no reason to deny a couple like the one in this case the procedure.""

text: hello ladies. Hope you are all well. Thought I would give you an update on my rainbow baby. Have generally been keeping well. Unfortunately I developed gestational diabetes a few weeks ago which has been hard but is under good diet control now. So yday I had a 34 wk growth scan and ANC appt. scan was good news- baby growing well, good placental blood flow and right amount of fluid. 😀 gave a urine sample and mentioned to mw that she may find leucocytes as was told last week at triage that I have group b strep in my urine. Mw found more leucocytes so said will send off sample. Checked on computer and she said no record of it on computer. She then rang the lab and they said the result has been negative!! So don't know what was going on there. waited a further 2 hrs to see consultant. She then told me I have to be admitted to hospital next week for 2 days to have steroids injections as we are planning early induction, had no idea about the steroids. We then discussed the induction date and she left it to me to choose a date. Was trying to avoid giving birth over the weekend as I know hospitals are always short staffed also trying to avoid the date we knew we had lost Rohan which was 14th April and the date I delivered him 17th so have now opted to go in on 8th when I will be 37+1 as apparently the induction process can take 2-3 days. She said there is s chance baby may go to special care due to gestation but I have seen plenty of babies on this board born at that gestation that are fine and also will be having the steroids to improve lung function so hopefully all will be well. It's all becoming too real now

Those don't look half bad as islands. I wonder how they would look with the addition of some sponge flocking to make them look more tree-covered?ReplyDelete
Hi Eli, thanks for the comment - I think the camera flash has been a bit harsh on the finished product - they are much more matt in real life, so pass as a forest canopy if you squint :-).ReplyDelete
I wonder if the addition of sponge flocking would limit the size range of the island - it would make the flock appear as realistic trees of a certain size, and therefore match more a certain size of mini - you know how I love ability to scale with the smallest stuff!
Loving your new header picture, BTW, that's exactly what I always imagined when reading the title of your Blog!
Thanks for the mention and praise .ReplyDelete
A few problems I have found since the build:
1) The edges take a battering and show white flecks when on a blue mat.
2) Flying over them is impossible as I do not have flat surfaces to put the stands on.
3) The magnetic bottom I have put on the bottom is very powerful and makes it a pain to get the biggest one off the storage box.
Hopes this tips save you some issues
Hi Andrew, you're welcome- the quality of your various Blogs speak for themselves!ReplyDelete
Thanks for the tips, I had a similar problem with a Fort William Henry I made for 2mm on a magnetic base - so much twisting and tugging to get it out of storage, the card bottom began to warp....maybe I'll leave these as is.
I'll make sure to seal these with a matt varnish to help stave off any dings - but a very good point about 'flying' over them - no flat places to support a stand - didn't think of that....I'll try to address this with the larger piece when it's done.

On Monday, Home Depot confirmed that hackers broke into its payment systems in what might be the biggest breach of computer network of a retail company.
The retailer said that the number of customers affected was not clear yet. According to a person that was briefed on the investigation, the number of credit card numbers stolen might be more than 60 million. This is a high figure in comparison to the 40 million cardholders affected in the Target breach last year.
According to The New York Times, the breach could have affected just about any customer at the retailer's stores in Canada and united States from April to last week, as reported by company spokeswoman, Paula Drake.
Home Depot's stores in Mexico were not affected and online shoppers were not affected too. According to Paula, debit cards' personal identification numbers were not taken.
As reported by ABC News, Brian Krebs, security reporter said, "Card information for sale on criminal sites that was stolen from Home Depot shoppers allows thieves to create counterfeit copies of debit and credit cards that can be used to purchase merchandise in big box stores."
Home Depot reported that malware was to perform the hack and announced plans to get chip-enabled terminals for checkout in its US stores by the close of 2014. The attack is likely to damages the retailer's sales.
John Kindervag, analyst at Forrester Research said, "I would think if you're a member of the board of directors, somebody has to be the sacrificial lamb for this."
Vice President of Core Security, Eric W. Cowperthwaite said, "honestly, Home Depot is in trouble here. This is not how you handle a significant security breach, nor will it provide any sort of confidence that Home Depot can solve the problem going forward."
Home Depot runs 1,977 stores in the US and 180 in Canada, which is around 400 more than the stores Target had during its breach. While the breach in Target took three weeks before its discovery, that at Home Depot was unnoticed for five months.

Well not literally the world, but small parts of it and my entire world seem to be falling down at an astronomical rate... Much like the flood victims (and all my love, thoughts and tears go out to them), I am going to be rebuilding my own little piece of the world. The struggle I have is one much like the struggle they will face, where do you start?
How do you start?
Where do you start?
How do you do things differently so it doesn't fall down again?
How do you get over the intense sadness and loss, to rebuild again?
Unlike the flood victims, most people around me would not see the sadness and loss or infact the need to rebuild. How do I work things out for myself when others can't even see that it needs doing?
I will get back to business when I can, but with nothing selling and the complete sense of loss I just can't contemplate starting the rebuild here at this point.

About Skype for Business at IU
Use Microsoft Skype for Business/Lync to access Indiana University's UniCom service.
Microsoft has rebranded Lync as Skype for Business. The transition happens differently for the Windows and Mac versions of the client, as described below.
If Lync 2013 is installed on your device, your client will update through Microsoft automatic updates. However, at Indiana University, you may see a message saying the new version is not supported, and the client will still use the Lync name and work the same way as Lync 2013 until the migration mentioned above. You can continue using it with UniCom, regardless of the name or appearance.
If you have received the Microsoft automatic update to Lync 2013, and you'd like to switch to the new Skype for Business interface, contact your campus Support Center. (If you are unsure whether your client is using the Lync 2013 or Skype for Business interface, check the appearance of your contacts. Lync 2013 uses square images, while Skype for Business uses circles.)
Microsoft has released a separate client, Skype for Business on Mac. You can download Skype for Business on Mac from IUware. For information about features of Skype for Business on Mac, see See what's new in Skype for Business.
Lync for Mac 2011 will continue to work with the IU UniCom service for the present.

I was on the Circle Line boat to Ellis Island from Brooklyn's Army terminal when I was overcome with a strange sense of hopefulness and optimism; unlike any I had felt throughout this entire campaign season up to that point.
En route to the short ceremony welcoming Vice President Dick Cheney to New York City on the Sunday before the start of the Republican National Convention, amongst all the spirited election year banter being tossed about by the nearly two hundred George Bush supporters on board, I was struck by how little I actually heard the name of John Kerry mentioned. In fact, when his name did come up, it was merely in passing or as an aside.
These people, braving near-90 degree temperatures and stifling humidity to hear Vice President Cheney speak along with Governor George Pataki and former mayor-Rudy Giuliani, didn't much care what was happening with the Democratic nominee.
Not anymore.
Rather, they wanted to focus on President George W. Bush and his re-election bid. They wanted to discuss (and reinforce), with like-minded people, why they felt it was necessary to give the President four more years in office. Not once did I hear the words "flip-flop," "swift boat" or "Viet Nam" spoken. Never did the terms "botox," "atrocities" or "Lurch" come into play. Instead, the folks I encountered talked up the President's record during his first term in office, citing everything from tax cuts to his handling of the war on terror.
Circling toward Ellis Island, with the majesty of New York harbor all around us, it was an incredibly buoyant and uplifting experience – both figuratively and literally. There wasn't an inkling of anything anti-Kerry anywhere to be found. Instead, it was all about George W. Bush. It was incredibly positive. One gentleman from Staten Island I spoke with said, "I'm voting for Bush because I believe he's the right man for the job. Plain and simple. It doesn't matter who he's running against." Another said, "This is about voting for someone. Not against someone. I'm voting Bush, and that's that." There were American flags everywhere, pro-Bush buttons, chants of "four more years" and not a word spoken about the other guy, because it didn't matter who that other guy was.
The Bush campaign may be hitting a decidedly positive turn that could carry them onward to a return venue at the White House. Recent polls are showing that Bush's numbers are not only getting better, but that he has actually taken the lead in some key battleground states that were quite recently in the "toss up" column. While that is certainly welcome news to the Bush camp, perhaps more relevant is what's happening at the grassroots level. Indeed, it is always a tremendously positive sign when the base supporters no longer focus on why NOT to go for the other guy, but start pushing the positives of their own.
The boat trip to Ellis Island was a perfect paradigm of this.
When the core is finally singing a candidate's praises and pushing forth his strengths as the primary reason to vote for him, it is only then that those on the fence who have yet to make up their minds can come over. Kerry's camp is nowhere near that point yet, and it may be getting too late.
Obviously, it's natural to contrast and compare candidates, weighing the positives and negatives of each. But there comes a point where the finger pointing and mud slinging give way to an appreciation of the facts, whatever they may be. Whereas a couple of weeks ago, Bush supporters I spoke with often touched upon the shortcomings of John Kerry as part of the discussion as to why President Bush should be re-elected, the Ellis Island jaunt painted a different picture. At least in New York, the shift seems to be underway.
Meanwhile, in Democrat land, it is abundantly clear to me that an overwhelmingly large percentage of John Kerry's "supporters" couldn't give two coconuts what Mr. Kerry stands for, what he is promising or even what he is saying. (Granted, all three have yet to be defined). Indeed, these people are not voting for John F. Kerry but against George W. Bush.
In July, an attempt was made by the Kerry camp to trigger that shift by focusing on Kerry's military service in Vietnam at the Democratic National Convention in Boston. Not only was the attempt woefully unsuccessful, both Mr. Kerry and Mr. Edwards, realizing that their plan of action had backfired, resorted to attacking the President personally on everything from the so-called "seven minutes" of inactivity after the attacks on the World Trade Center to not denouncing the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth advertisements enough.
How do you expect an electorate to refrain from silly personal attacks when the candidate themselves cannot?
John Kerry, by not giving his core supporters anything else besides four months in Vietnam to use to qualify his candidacy for President, left them dangling in the political wind with nothing else but well-worn anti-Bush rhetoric. Attacks can only get you so far. The Kerry campaign now seems to be in a slight state of confusion. They cannot point to the accomplishments of their own candidate, so they look to the other side for things to say. Albeit negative, the dull hum of the Democratic mantra is: Bush, Bush, Bush.
If the Republicans aren't talking about Kerry and the Democrats aren't talking about Kerry, what does that tell you?
Not even a week ago, one young gal approached me on Broadway between 79th and 80th Street in Manhattan with the line, "Do you want to register to vote to help get rid of the President?" I stopped, turned to her very nicely, and asked her directly, "Why should I vote for John Kerry?" Her reply: "We've got to get rid of Bush."
Oh, well why didn't you say so? Slam dunk. Well thought out. No wonder you hate him so.
There is obviously some time to go between now and the November election. So much can happen during that window. However, in my every day travels in and around the city of New York, I have a feeling that I may continue to see more of this shift among Bush supporters. Meanwhile, the Kerry people, the pundits and the protestors are still modeling their anti-Bush summer wardrobe. Increasingly, as fall approaches, those who are supporting the President will find that they don't need to push Kerry's negatives anymore. They only need to look at the President's record. Unfortunately the Kerry people are doing the same thing.

Peter and I went to a joyful Easter service at church. It was great, as our services almost always are. It lasted almost 2 hours though...so a bit long. We had lunch reservations at Olenjack's grille and then Peter took me to see Alice in Wonderland in 3 D. Lunch was really good, but I think I like the buffet brunch at Birra Porreti's better. I liked Alice really well, but peter was a little underwhelmed. Then we came home and we tried to watch Inglorious Bastards, but didn't get far. Now we're watching National Treasure as I have never seen it, and I'm enjoying watching it a lot.
Tomorrow I was supposed to go riding with my friend Teresa, but all day I had the feeling it wasn't going to happen. I was correct as last night her husband was put in the hospital for an infection, so our day is off. It will work out well, as I plan to use the afternoon and evening to finish painting Maggie's room and cleaning it for her so she can have a pleasant homecoming.
This weekend I rode the NATRC ride with Teresa and we had a great time. I was to ride safety, but they didn't need me and Teresa said she'd enjoy it if I rode the B ride with her. So, I entered the one day ride. Liberty got 2nd and I got first. We had a nice, relaxed ride. What was funny was that I thought of it as being a slow ride, and Teresa couldn't see how our ride was slow...I guess it's all in perspective. After riding riding open, it seemed slow, but that didn't make it any less pleasant. My training goals were to work on transitions, opening and closing gates and trotting at tempo. Things really improved as the day went forward, so I was pleased.

The Critic (br) wrote: David Michd's remarkable family crime drama is a beautifully layered and skilfully executed exploration in the complexities of domesticity. As with the best films in this genre, it's the silent spaces that offer the most tension amongst the characters as well as insight into their intricate personalities. And there's an assortment of them here to sink your teeth into. The boys - men who exude the terrifying extremes of masculinities - are a collective forceful presence. Not since Rowan Woods' 'The Boys' (1998) has their been an antagonist with the intensity of Ben Mendelsohn's 'Pope'. This is a meaty role for him and Mendelsohn truly commands his scenes as do secondary figures Joel Edgerton, Sullivan Stapleton and Luke Ford, who make up the rest of this unpredictable fraternity. Guy Pearce is also unsurprisingly excellent as the scrupulous cop trying to put an end to their illegal activities. The plot, however, is driven by a solid James Frecheville as Joshua, through whose eyes we see the narrative. The young actor is extremely engaging and his relationship with grandmother and matriarch 'Smurf' (a compelling Jacki Weaver in a career highlight) is the key factor that sees this fierce family stick together and fall apart. A resounding success in all departments, 'Animal Kingdom' is a must-see.

Basically take the dumb comedy elements and basic plot of "Police Academy" and mix it with the piss poor production values and bare skin found in the long running "Witchcraft" series and you have this bastard creation and ended up spawning almost as many sequels as the very franchise it was ripping off.What we get is a bunch of bimbos wearing scantily clad clothing going through Vice Academy training in order become Vice cops. They learn such talents as shooting a gun, kicking guys in the junk and putting on hooker make-up in less than 20 seconds (pimps don't like their bitches waiting!). Our main slutty cops is played by cult actress Linnea Quigley (don't worry, she bares her breasts... she always does) and in her quest to beat her rival Ginger Lynn Allen to make the most arrests, her and her crew made a hasty mistake while busting some porn filmmakers and in order to graduate they have to stay up all night busting hookers to make their quota.The quality of this production is as low as it gets and it looks like it was made for $2.50. Along with this extremely low budget we get low grade acting to match with some pain inducing dialogue and uninspired directing provided writer/director/producer Rick Sloan. What should you expect from the guy who brought us the unwatchable "Gremlins" rip-off "Hobgoblins"?"Vice Academy" was made to be a silly B-movie comedy with skin but even as a B-movie I still didn't find it to be "so bad it's good." It actually found it to be more annoying than anything and I ended up groaning in pain at the forced comical moments rather than snickering. People going into this expecting a lot of nudity are also going to be disappointed as there are a few topless scenes but most of the skin is only shown with the women parading around in skanky clothing and lingerie.They made 6 of these damn things so there is an audience for these films but obviously I am not one of them and in turn found it quite dreadful. Most of the "Police Academy" films were lame and this is a lame rip-off of a lame series which in turn spawned its own lame franchise. I am a fan of B-movies but "Vice Academy" didn't tickle my fancy one iota. To me I just found the whole experience irritating and vexatious, along the same lines as Troma films. Sorry "Vice Academy" fans, this gets a big thumbs down from me. Perhaps some of the sequels improve upon the formula and maybe, just maybe I can force myself to sit through a few

Summary of the Day's Events
Forthwith, my report on the seminar I attended today. "News" of interest to non-librarians (or librarian-wanna-bes) is at the end.
Who is this Guy Anyway?
If you aren't familiar with Jim Trelease and you have any contact with children at all (or hopes for future children) it's a name well worth learning. He is the most passionate promoter of reading and the power of reading aloud to children whom I've ever encountered. Now in its 6th edition, his book The Read Aloud Handbook was a NYT bestseller for several months in '83 but it's been updated and extended and is still fantastic and totally relevant today. His website compiles and links to even more resources, data, and anecdotes. I highly recommend them both.
He spends much of his life today on the lecture circuit. The seminar I attended today was one for school personnel and was attended by about 60-70 librarians and teachers (more than 2/3 librarians). He reviewed his fundamental theories about teaching reading and creating enthusiastic readers and recommended dozens of books with which to "catch" readers.
The Five Books I Am Most Interested in Ordering
These aren't necessarily new books but they were new to me.
The Neighborhood Mother Goose (Nina Crews) This one is going on Natalie's Christmas list. The nursery rhymes are the familiar text, but they are illustrated with photos of modern day children (who happen to be in Brooklyn).
The Star of Kazan (Eva Ibbotson) Trelease's description was great. "Imagine that Frances Hodgson Burnett had come back to life and was writing again. Only while she was dead she learned to write tighter, more concise sentences."
The Luck of the Loch Ness Monster: A Tale of Picky Eating (A. W. Flaherty) A very entertaining explanation of the origins of the LNM....
The Escape of Oney Judge (Emily Arnold McCully) The true story of Martha Washington's slave's escape (and Washington's subsequent unsuccessful lifelong vendetta).
The Truth about Poop (Susan E. Goodman) No, this is not Everybody Poops. This one is fairly detailed picture book non-fiction, and Trelease said not only will it hook in the MOST reluctant of readers, but the writing is also very good and quite informative.
Plus a couple of books I have at school have moved to the top of my I Need to Read This list: The Invention of Hugo Cabret, The Water Horse (Dick King-Smith, movie coming out 12/25) and (I am embarrassed to admit this) Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry.
Biggest Surprise of the Day
Except not so surprising when you think about it. Trelease announced that he is retiring from speaking at the end of the year, although he will fulfill the 20 or so commitments he already has. I'm really glad I had the opportunity to hear him (twice actually, as he gave a shorter lecture at a professional meeting I attended last year). I encourage anyone who's interested to check his lecture schedule on the website to find out when your last chance to see him speak might be.
In unrelated matters,
The Pants Report
No untoward occurrences in my nethers today. However, an equal lack of anything good on a pregnancy test this evening. Will keep you informed as events continue to unfold or not unfold.
