But joyful are those who have the God of Israel[a] as their helper,
whose hope is in the Lord their God. – Psalm 146:5
Since we have hope regarding the future – Christ's return – we want to be found doing the work He has called us to do. Since He has called us, we need to choose prayer and faithful proclamation of the gospel as our focus.
Not the prayer that includes gossip,whining or complaining or introduces negativity or criticism but one filled hope, supporting each other.
The Book of Acts starts with such a support. Through chapter four there are repeated times where the author describes how much Christians shared together – one body, one Spirit, one hope and one profession of faith.
What would God have us do? Offer bold prayers that reflect a strong faith and secure hope. Let's not just talk about prayer, and have seminars on prayer, and read books about prayer, and listening to sermons on prayer. Let us pray. The souls of men and women hang in the balance.
Our hope is that the message is heard and lives are changed.
After they were released, they went to their friends and reported what the chief priests and the elders had said to them. When they heard it, they raised their voices together to God and said, "Sovereign Lord, who made the heaven and the earth, the sea, and everything in them, it is you who said by the Holy Spirit through our ancestor David, your servant: "Why did the Gentiles rage, and the peoples imagine vain things? The kings of the earth took their stand, and the rulers have gathered together against the Lord and against his Messiah.' For in this city, in fact, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel, gathered together against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed, to do whatever your hand and your plan had predestined to take place. And now, Lord, look at their threats, and grant to your servants to speak your word with all boldness, while you stretch out your hand to heal, and signs and wonders are performed through the name of your holy servant Jesus." When they had prayed, the place in which they were gathered together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God with boldness. – Acts 4:23-31

|Tokyo, November 2011.
Still loving Photo Booth.
I remember exactly how I felt on my way to the airport, saying goodbye to Montreal, knowing it would be a while before I'd come back. A bit terrified, a bit relieved, mostly excited. I remember my last meal in a Mile End diner, a cold, snowy night, difficult good byes, a mini freak out at the airport.
I also remember my first night in Nagoya, stocking up on Pocky and Lemon CC, exploring the local conbini, taking pictures of the washing machine, accidentally getting drunk with the people who would become my closest friends.
How things have changed- I came here a bit shy, a bit princess-y, a bit high-maintenance perhaps. A year in the rice fields of isolated Shikoku island and a lonely stint in Osaka really made me so independent (if only slightly quirky).
To be fair, it has been a complete riot, and I have been having so much fun. I still love love love Japan, and I'm lucky to be here, living in Tokyo, with some of my best friends.
Happy Japanniversary xo

The winnowing of retiree healthcare costs
Many state and local governments have promised to provide healthcare benefits for their retirees. These benefits cover retirees before they reach the eligibility age for Medicare and those who are Medicare ineligible. The promises include additional Cadillac benefits to retirees who are eligible for Medicare and provided supplemental coverage. These promises are known by their accounting moniker, OPEBs (other post employment benefits).
Few governments have set aside funds to pay for these promises, leaving an enormous unfunded liability that will burden future municipal budgets. Every government is responsible to meet their promises. Moody's analyst Marcia Van Wagner wrote about the size of the OPEB juggernaut:
States listed a total of more than $530 billion in unfunded OPEB liabilities in their fiscal 2012 financial reports, although the liabilities are highly variable and concentrated within a subset of states.
Moody's says the unfunded liability is about equivalent to state tax-supported debt. Unlike bonded debt though, OPEBs are being reduced and in some cases have been eliminated by bankruptcy in cities like Stockton, California. Detroit replaced retiree healthcare coverage with a small monthly check. Moody's writes about other, less onerous steps that governments have taken to rein in costs and benefits:
Surveys indicate that state and local governments have widely pursued initiatives to contain retiree health costs. About two-thirds of governments responding to surveys cited by the Center for State and Local Government Excellence indicated that they had made changes to retiree health care in recent years, with the most common changes being increases to retiree premium contributions, co-payments and deductibles.
Increasing co-pays and deductibles is the first line of healthcare savings. State and local governments are also tightening the eligibility requirements for OPEB coverage. From the GAO:
Officials from some of the governments we selected reported changing the requirements that determine eligibility for retiree health benefits, such as increasing the number of years an employee must work for the government before being eligible for health benefits upon retirement. Results from a survey of state officials published in December 2008 indicate that more states have changed their eligibility requirements by increasing the years of service required for eligibility for retiree health benefits than by increasing the age at which employees become eligible to receive these benefits.
Some state and local governments are working to pre-fund some of the future liability. The California controller John Chiang recently announced a plan to tackle the state's unfunded $67 billion OPEB liability at the macro level. This would be done by the state gradually starting to pre-fund retiree health care. This would allow assets in the trust fund to earn investment earnings and increase assets available to fund future costs. From Chiang's release:
Recognizing that fully pre-funding this obligation would be challenging, Controller Chiang proposes that the initial objective should be to fully pre-fund the costs of retiree benefits in the same year as they are earned by active employees.
'While it is not reasonable to expect that a liability that has been built-up over many decades can be erased in a year, we have to resolve ourselves to meaningful progress,' said Chiang. 'Let that first step be a commitment that any liabilities created by one generation of Californians be fully paid by that generation and not transferred to their children.'
The Controller proposes a five-year implementation plan, at the end of which retiree medical and dental costs earned annually by its active workforce (often referred to as 'normal costs') will be fully pre-funded, reducing the unfunded liability by $17.7 billion.
Chaing says California should take a small portion of the state's projected surplus and make additional payments to the OPEB trust:
The California legislature is trying to figure out how to fund the $80 billion unfunded liability of the state teacher pension system, CalSTRS.
There are professionals out scouring muniland to help municipal governments get control of their OPEB liabilities. Kudos to these pros as they help governments untangle Medicare law and their labor contracts. Every taxpayer benefits as the nation's runaway health costs are brought under control. Especially unfunded healthcare costs.

There has been a sharp decline in terrorist violence across Iraq, the Pentagon insisted in a new report, despite the deaths of at least 26 more people in attacks Tuesday. US military officials, however, disputed Iraqi claims that 16 others were killed when a roadside bomb exploded beside a passing bus. The Associated Press reported that the average number of deaths in Iraq has risen from 26 a day in February to 39 so far this month. But a US spokesman said over the weekend that "one week or two weeks' worth of activity" should not be seen as evidence of a "trend of an increase."
Cellphone service providers in Afghanistan are bowing to Taliban demands and shutting down for the night, the BBC reported, after another communications tower was found ablaze late Tuesday. The incident was the 10th of its type in recent weeks, since the Taliban claimed Afghan and NATO forces were using the cellphone systems to track their movements after dark. Cellphones are the only reliable means of communication for many Afghans.
Over the next five years, Turkey's government will spend up to $12 billion on a strategy to lure young Kurds away from militancy, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan told The New York Times. In an interview published Wednesday, he said the money will be spent on a jobs program in impoverished and mainly Kurdish southeastern Turkey, on building dams and irrigation canals, removing land mines, and on developing a Kurdish-language channel for the state TV system. A separatist campaign by Kurdish rebels has caused almost 40,000 deaths since 1984.
Leaders of the Greek and Turkish communities on Cyprus will meet for the first time next week on reviving efforts to unite the divided island again, aides said. The talks are scheduled for Friday at UN offices in the buffer zone between the two areas. Peace talks stalled in 2004 when Greek Cypriot voters rejected a UN formula for reunification that Turkish Cypriots had accepted. But newly elected Greek Cypriot President Dimitris Christofias vowed to make a meeting with his Turkish counterpart, Mehmet Ali Talat, one of his earliest priorities.
With hundreds of supporters massing outside Thailand's Supreme Court, former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra pleaded not guilty Wednesday to charges of corruption against him and his wife. They were filed after an investigation by a panel appointed by the military chiefs who toppled Thaksin in 2006. If convicted, the couple could be sentenced to 10 years each in prison. But analysts said finding witnesses to testify against them in court would be difficult now that Thaksin's party is back in power. Above, news cameramen swarm him as he leaves the courthouse.
Another powerful storm system – the third this week – was battering Britain Wednesday, causing "extremely hazardous" travel advisories. Wind gusts of up to 85 m.p.h. were reported across northern England, northern Wales, and Northern Ireland, and seven flood warnings from the government's Environment Agency were in effect. The storms come as the European Parliament OK'd $242 million in relief payments to areas of England affected by last summer's devastating floods. Above, massive damage to a highway near Manchester dwarfs an inspection crew.
Marine mammal experts in New Zealand were marveling at eyewitness accounts of a dolphin guiding two beached whales back out to sea when it appeared they'd have to be euthanized. Would-be rescuers had tried four times to free a pygmy sperm whale and her calf from a sandbar 300 miles northeast of the capital, Wellington, only to report that they "obviously couldn't find their way back to the sea." At that point, the dolphin appeared and led the whales through a channel to the open Pacific Ocean. Dolphins, said one expert, have "a great capacity for altruistic activity."

It's been a long time coming (18 years, in fact), but I made it to adulthood!
A couple of weeks ago, I had a birthday party to celebrate my coming of age because apparently no one likes to stay in Sydney on my actual birthday (
two of my best friends and my boyfriend included).
Having had Christmas presents and birthday presents rolled into one for my entire life, I thought it would be rather appropriate to make the theme: Christmas - Celebrating 18 Years of Synonymous Festivities. And I can tell you, finding decorations and themed items for the party was just about the easiest job I've ever had - fairy lights,
and tinsel galore! bonbons
And I dressed up as a reindeer, albeit in a white maxi dress.
Dress: Dotti
I thought it would be a cute idea to set a
using my DSLR camera and my remote (so all my friends can know what it feels like to do outfit shoots lol). I bought a Christmas photobooth prop back from the dollar store, complete with Santa hats and mistletoe. photobooth

513. Good morning. Can I welcome you to the
final session of the Committee's inquiry into empty homes and
ask you to identify yourselves for the record?
(Dr Perry) My name is Norman Perry. I am the Chief
Executive of the Housing Corporation. On my left is Mr Neil Hadden,
who is the Assistant Chief Executive responsible for investment
and regeneration.
514. Thank you very much. Do you want to say
anything by way of introduction or are you happy for us to go
straight to questions?
(Dr Perry) I would be happy for you to go straight
to questions.
515. Can I ask if you can explain the basis
of your submission to the Department under the Comprehensive Spending
Review and how it differs from the National Housing Federation's
proposals for a Market Restructuring Fund?
(Dr Perry) Our submission to the DTLR on the Spending
Review is not yet public. We have not yet formally sent it to
the Minister. It will cover the whole range of our activities
because as an NDPB we have to make a pitch for resources at every
spending review. So far as the idea of a market renewal fund is
concerned we are supportive of the concept. We have some ideas,
which are not specific in the submission, on how we can contribute
to that. We have not majored on that particular issue because
we have a number of objectives that we have to pursue in the light
of our remit.
516. In your memorandum you state that over
the coming months you will be refining the way that you use capital
investment to have an even greater impact on regeneration. You
want to say that you think you can actually do more. Would you
like to expand on that?
(Dr Perry) With the Chairman's permission Mr Hadden
is in charge of that programme.
(Mr Hadden) We are looking to develop our role in
regeneration to explain to the Department and to others who are
interested that we are already very much involved in regeneration
activity. Indeed, 70 per cent of our funding programme currently
is spent on regeneration activities. We are also trialing a number
of different funding mechanismsnew tools, new housing regeneration
companiesto test out what works in different situations
or circumstances, how effective they are, what vehicles we need.
We are developing that thinking and we will be producing a new
statement of our role in regeneration following the spending review
517. You place quite a lot of emphasis on regeneration.
Do you think you should be funding new build developments in the
future apart from supplementing the section 106 agreements?
(Dr Perry) Of course we cover the whole of the country
and there are very many areas where there is extremely high demand
and new social housing is pretty desperately needed in those areas.
In the areas where there is market failure, in the North and the
Midlands, then clearly we are looking at the extent to which new
investment is needed. All our investment now is put into the context
of locally agreed strategies. We do not make individual investment
decisions except when those tie in with an agreed strategy. Even
where large scale re-modelling of neighbourhoods might be needed
clearly new housing will have to be part of that, so we foresee
a long term future for new social housing even in areas where
there is market difficulty.
518. Mr Hadden, you mentioned housing regeneration
companies. What is the Corporation's current thinking on those?
Do you see them as successful? Do you intend to set up in areas
of low demand?
(Mr Hadden) The current position is that we have set
up a pilot to look at five housing regeneration companies in particular.
They are based in East London, Rochdale, Liverpool, Hartlepool
and Coventry. What we are doing is looking at the different areas
that they are working in. We are going to evaluate the different
tools that they are going to be using to pull together regeneration
work in the housing in those areas and carry out a formal evaluation
and then a) to see what type of vehicle is appropriate, because
this might have an impact on our registration criteria, our regulation
of RSLs, and b) to look at what we need to do in terms of the
funding mechanisms we currently administer and how they fit into
the funding programme overall.
519. Have you reached any conclusions?
(Mr Hadden) No. It is very early days. We only launched
them at the back end of last year so there is a lot of preparation
going on at the moment. It is too early to have a firm view as
to how well they are doing.

Consultants hired by the University of Maryland at Baltimore have completed work on a master plan that was commissioned a year ago to guide more than $500 million worth of development and reconstruction work on the West Baltimore campus over the next decade.
John Beckman of Wallace, Roberts & Todd, the lead consultant on the project, told members of Baltimore's Architectural Review Board yesterday that the plan will guide construction of 1.3 million square feet of new space and renovation of another 400,000 square feet needed to accommodate growth of the university's six graduate schools and related facilities downtown.
A key objective, Mr. Beckman said, was to create "more of a sense of campus" for the thousands of students, faculty and others who are there every day. Other goals are to create more green space and pedestrian-friendly walks and to establish a stronger link between the campus and the central business district to the east, he said.

Every June, another group of students, most in their late teens, pass through the halls of Hanover High School for the last time, stepping out of adolescence and into young adulthood.
Looking at the high school's Class of 2007, at the trials laid out before the students during their four years at the school, there can be no doubt the 197 seniors graduating this Saturday have earned the right to take that step.
Looking at the high school's Class of 2007, at the trials laid out before the students during their four years at the school, there can be no doubt the 197 seniors graduating this Saturday have earned the right to take that step.
Like the Class of 2006 before them, this year's seniors have had to overcome a few obstacles, such as the three different administrations the high school has seen in the last four years. They've also had to deal with the physical condition of the school, which has been in need of repair in recent years.
And as recently as eight weeks ago, the Class of 2007 grieved with their country, their community and their classmates, as two unspeakable tragedies befell them in the course of one week.
In an interview with the Mariner last week, a group of the class's members talked about their high school careers, their coming commencement, the plans they have for after graduation and the memories they'll take with them.
For starters, the students discussed some of the hi-jinks their classmates have been involved in this year — many of which the Mariner will leave to the reader's imagination.
"Somebody let a bunch of hamsters loose in the school," Pat O'Connor said. "They thought it would be funny to let them go and see if they multiply, but it didn't really work. When they found them, they were all males."
"Last year's prom was one of my favorites, hands down," Brittany Parnell added.
"The Spirit Weeks [before Homecoming] were great too," Samantha Jones added. "To see all the students get behind the school like that, all of those rallies and things like that made you feel like you were part of a community."
Indeed, according to the students, the Class of 2007 knows how to have a good time. From pep rallies and sporting events — including the Hanover High School varsity hockey team's state championship this past winter — to fundraisers and field days, students said their fondest memories of their four years at Hanover High are likely to be those occasions that saw the class celebrate as a community.
"The [2005 and 2006] golf tournaments were amazing," senior class president Andrew Bridson said.
In addition to the celebrations, dances, games and other bonding experiences, many of the students said some of their best memories of their time at Hanover High will revolve around the school's faculty. History teacher Kevin Perry and language teacher Nicole Corbett, along with the school's guidance office were among those the students said without whom, they'd have had a hard time managing the high school experience.
"The guidance office was such a big help for me, personally," Jones said. "I applied 'early decision' to college, so a lot of my communication with [guidance counselor Brendan Adams] happened while school wasn't in session, and I never had any trouble getting in touch with him."Rising to the challenge
Ironically, most students agree the single hardest thing the class has had to endure — especially in its final year at the school — was their 2007 spring break. Between April 16 and April 18, while they were taking a much-deserved break from classes and exams, students in Hanover were dealt a double dose of tragedy. On the morning of Monday, April 16, a freshman at Virginia Tech University shot and killed 32 people before turning the gun on himself, in the single deadliest shooting incident in America's history. Though it happened hundreds of miles away, Bridson said he couldn't help but think of the Virginia Tech Massacre, as both a public high school student and a future college freshman.
"It's something I was definitely thinking about when I was looking at schools," Bridson said, adding that he plans to call Cornell University in Ithaca, New York home in the fall. "Just from walking around, I felt like it was safe environment, it was well guarded, and I felt like the town was safe."
"One of the schools I was considering was Columbia [University, located in Manhattan's Morningside Heights]," Bridson added. "If I was going to a more urban campus, I think I'd be a little more nervous."
As tragic and senseless as the Virginia Tech shootings were, by the week's end, most Hanover High students would be preoccupied with another tragic loss of life, one much closer to home. Two days after the Virginia Tech Massacre, 17-year-old Kelsey Prinsen — a junior at the school — was killed in an automobile accident near her home in Hanover in the early morning hours of April 18.
"It was really hard," Leahy said. "It was the worst week. I don't think it wasn't a good vacation for anyone, and I think by the time we got back to school the next Monday, most of us were thinking more about Kelsey than we were about [Virginia Tech]. I know that sounds bad, but [Kelsey] was our friend."
According to the students, many of the challenges the seniors of 2007 found themselves set against were not unique to their class. This year's graduating seniors — along with every other student who's walked the halls of Hanover High in the last five or six years — have also had to bear the rapidly deteriorating condition of the high school building itself.
"We lost about 217 books from the library because the ceiling was leaking," Leahy said. "There's a lot they need to fix in this building. We keep hearing about asbestos in the ceiling, that kind of thing."
"It's not so bad if you don't mind the tiles falling on your head," Jamie Fitzgerald added.The last waltz
As the school year winds to a close, some students said the gravity of their impending graduation has not yet fully sunk in to the class' collective consciousness. Though she'll be heading off to Long Island, New York to attend Hofstra University, Leahy said she hadn't given much thought to the idea of leaving behind the only community she's ever really known.
"I think it hasn't really hit most of us," Leahy said. "We didn't have that traditional rally with the whole school at the end of the year, so I think a lot of people haven't really had to feel like it's over."
"I think it's going to be a totally different scene at graduation," she added. "But, right now, everyone was just so excited to be done and moving on. It's hard to think about, because I've been going to Hanover schools for the last 12 or 13 years."
Bridson agreed, noting that the feeling of finality often associated with graduation may not really set in until long after the last diploma is doled out."
"Mostly there's been a lot of excitement just to be done with the whole thing," Bridson said, "but at the same time, I think people are starting to come to the realization that starting in August, all these people we've spent every day with and gotten so close to over the last twelve years are suddenly going to go away. It's kind of shocking."
"I know for me, personally, it started to sink in when I got my first acceptance letter," he added. "It's a weird feeling, but I think we all feel the same thing where it's slowly dawning on us that we're not coming back next September."firstname.lastname@example.com

Last week, we learned that Dr. Dre's Detox, the most labored and rumor-dogged album in commercial rap history, had been given a mercy killing. "I didn't like it," Dre declared. "The record, it just wasn't good." It was a bracing death for material that had been accumulating in secret for over a decade, but Dre delivered the news calmly, while in the same breath confirming far more surprising information: He had managed to record a new album of original material, and it was called Compton. Not only was Compton not Detox, it was in many ways unlike anything Dre had released in his career: ragged at the edges, steely, and grim.
Talking to the inner circle of musicians who worked most closely with Dre during the heady months in which Compton was made, a common thread emerges: This is definitely not the album Dre had been promising to deliver to the industry for the last 16 years. Instead, it is the late dawning of an idea that seemed to draw direction from everything the leaked Detox tracks were not: It is not relaxed, not clean, not safe. It came together in a blur. Dre's signature crisp funk is gone, and there is nothing on the album that aims to complement a weed high. Instead, Compton is hulking, sinewy, and defiantly odd. It's the result of various collaborators—old and young, legendary and unknown—pitching in their talents, all guided by a singular force.

Let's not pull any punches about this book. This series is Marvel's answer to all the tween hype given to The Hunger Games, and the much more brutal, Battle Royale. They even mention - as a rather funny quote from Arcade - that the inspiration for the entire event came from "a couple kids' books!" Mimicry is NOT always the highest compliment, but in the case of Avengers Arena, it's not truly mimicry either. This book is much more than copying the motions of another tale, it has a heart all its own, and for me, is Marvel's best book of the week!
Yes, this is a tale of teenage, and one not so teenage, heroes thrown together in a battle to the death. It has been done before and most certainly will be done again, but it is the tale that lies beneath the broader strokes that compels you to push through this tale of brutality to it's destructive finale. It is the connections that are made, the loves threatened and the ravings of a girl who never truly enjoyed living until her own life was at stake, that draws you emotionally into the tale. Dennis Hopeless has crafted something that far exceeds the parameters this style of story was based on, and has given us a deeply compelling look into the hearts and minds of some exceptional characters that never truly got the chance to shine on their own. Ironically, this tale will also be the final chance we get to see of these characters, at least we got to know them better in their final days!
Not only does Dennis Hopeless give us an emotionally charged, action packed tale of mortality, but he also gives us a different look at one of the oldest X-Men villains. Arcade has taken center stage as the "big bad" in this series, but most fans will not recognize him in his fresh incarnation. He has become a veritable "god" in this tale, one who is near omnipotent in power and cunning and is not afraid to get his hands dirty. He has evolved far beyond the sneering, freckle faced heckler that let his mechanical murder machines do all the work. Hopeless has built him up as a truly terrifying rogue that not only demands respect but obedience as well, pushing him to the top of the list of most intriguing characters to watch. It is the character of Arcade that brings a sense of intrigue to a tale rife with action, diversifying it even more so than the emotional duress we receive from our "heroes." It is these factors that lift this tale above the mere some of it's parts, making it a wondrous read from cover to cover.
Dennis Hopeless and the amazingly talented Kev Walker have crafted a book that may be misconstrued as a mere money grab by Marvel -a blank check to capture the tween readership - and I truly hope it does bring them in. This is the book that will get new readership talking about how amazing comics can be regardless of movie tie-ins and big budget marketing. This is the book that will draw readers in with an idea they all ready know and will blow them away with how rich and emotionally charged the comics genre is.
This is the book that all fans, new or old, should be reading. Don't let the concept fool you, you will be underestimating how great this book really is!

The dispute over the new standard, which takes effect on Sept. 1, threatens to mar Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's visit to China next week. Each nation wants to increase trading with the other.
Canada's trade minister told Reuters this week that the relationship could not progress until the issue is resolved, prompting Beijing to criticize Ottawa for linking the two matters.
The sales of the oilseed, which is crushed to produce vegetable oil and animal feed, now risk undermining Canada's aggressive negotiating stance with China.
Industry groups in Canada, the world's biggest canola exporter, have said the standard would be expensive to meet. China, Canada's top canola export market, says a tougher standard on foreign material is needed to protect against crop disease.
Cargill Ltd, Louis Dreyfus Corp and Parrish & Heimbecker have made sales ranging from about 30,000 to 60,000 metric tons to China for delivery after Sept. 1, according to trade sources who were not authorized to speak publicly. The Canola Council of Canada confirmed sales under the new standard, but not details.
Canada's biggest canola exporters, Richardson International and Glencore Plc-owned Viterra Inc, however, are balking at China's new standard.

News You Can Use
Ladies, next time you get a parking ticket, consider the utility of this all purpose excuse:
"I had to keep my snakes warm."
Never let it be said that this site is not helpful. Educational, too.
Update: Jackbooted theocracy alert:
Toddlers Can No Longer Marry in Ark
Some lawmakers called for a special session last year, saying the error would make it easy for pedophiles to take advantage of the law. Gov. Mike Beebe said he didn't see any imminent crisis and said the chances of children marrying under the law were slim.
Legislators, however, had the chance for a do-over this week when Beebe convened a special session to consider a hike in the state's severance tax on natural gas. They repealed the botched law, and reinstated 17 as the minimum age to marry for boys and 16 for girls.
Rep. Will Bond, the sponsor of the botched 2007 law and its correction, apologized for the error and asked his colleagues to "throw me a rope and bail me out here."
"I always thought if you put your name on a bill, you should be ready to take the blame if you're willing to accept the credit," Bond said Wednesday.
Bond, a Democrat, said there hadn't been any reports of young children attempting to marry under the 2007 law.
Well there you have it: clearly an attempt to impose oppressive kyriarchical values on what was meant to be a secular state:
...in feminist the*logy and studies in religion, nationalism as the systemic kyriarchal structure that determines all of our discourses remains mostly unmentioned and unexplored. Like maleness, whiteness, or Christianness, nationalism remains invisible and unconscious for those who inhabit the privileged kyriarchal position.
...Gender symbols, control of wo/men, the well-being of the heterosexual patriarchal family, appeals to religious scriptures and laws, specific cultural codes of dress and behavior—all these become central to the maintenance of traditional values and the construction of national identity. Such national/religious identity is rhetorically constructed and often articulated in the interest of hegemony and the control of wo/men. To quote Yuval-Davis again,
Women are often constructed as the cultural symbols of the collectivity, of its boundaries, as the carriers of the collectivity's "honor" and as [End Page 112] its intergenerational reproducers of culture. Specific codes and regulations are usually developed defining who/what is a "proper man" and a "proper woman", which are central to identities of collectivity members. Feelings of disempowerment which result from processes of colonization and subjugation have often been interpreted by the colonized men as processes of emasculinization and/or feminization. The (re)construction of men's—and often even more importantly of women's—roles . . . has been central in most such struggles.
Not to put too fine a point on it, but "Hellooooo". Where the hell is Dahlia Lithwick on this one?
We are disappointed. Very disappointed.

LONDON (AdAge.com) -- Marketers in Spain could be banned from advertising certain beauty products and services before 10 p.m., as the government attempts to stamp out the growing number of eating disorders and improve the mental health of young women fixated on their weight and appearance.
Ads for diet products, some beauty treatments and plastic surgery are now officially considered more dangerous for young people than commercials for alcohol, which can be advertised from 9 p.m.
The lower chamber of Spain's parliament has passed the law, and the upper chamber is expected to ratify it within weeks. It's unclear when the ban will go into effect.
The new law states: "Broadcasters cannot carry advertisements for things that encourage the cult of the body and have a negative impact on self-image -- such as slimming products, surgical procedures and beauty treatments -- which are based on ideas of social rejection as a result of one's physical image or that success is dependent on factors such as weight or looks."
"The ban is about product function rather than the content of the communication," said Alex Pallete, chief strategic officer at Lowe Group's Lola Madrid. "The goal is that no under-18s will be affected by mental issues like anorexia and bulimia. In Spain, people tend to go for non-surgical methods of slimming, like not eating or vomiting, but we have had a lot of immigration from Latin America, where plastic surgery is much more common, and their culture has influenced our culture."
Mr. Pallete said that in 2008, 7,000 ads were broadcast that now fall into the banned "body worship" categories. The beauty and hygiene segment is the third-biggest TV spender in Spain, accounting for $708 million in airtime in 2008.
While debating the 10 pm watershed for slimming products and plastic surgery, the government considered -- but eventually rejected -- a far more drastic ban that would have included all products advertised as "lite," potentially banning ads for a wide range of food and drinks like Coke Lite and light beer.
The biggest advertiser in the about-to-be-banned category is Corporacion Dermoestetica, a national chain of cosmetic surgery clinics. Mr. Pallete predicts that advertisers will follow the example of cigarettes and alcohol, maintaining their budgets but diverting the money to sponsorships, events and online. Or they may just advertise late at night.
Lola Madrid works for the government's youth institute, Injuve. Mr. Pallette said, "Teenagers are worrying more about their self-image, which can handicap their physical and moral development."
The 6-year-old Spanish government has been pro-active on many social issues, including that of skeletal fashion models. In 2007, the health ministry agreed with major fashion retailers, including Zara and Mango, that the mannequins in their stores would not have proportions smaller than a U.S. size 6. And in 2006, Madrid was the first city to ban ultra-thin models from its fashion week runways.
In another move, Spain's government this month outlawed advertising on public TV, following the lead set by France last year, as the two countries attempt to match the cultural quality and diversity of the BBC's output in the U.K.

On a side note, if your really smitten with mushrooms, Mycelium Running by Paul Stamets is another excellent book. Enjoy the rain!

I've tired of trying to come up with more looks for my web page. I want to get the information out to the people who want to know, but I don't want to spend so much time doing it, nor do I want to bore people to death. I miss the old days were I could hang out online with all my friends and we could talk about how things will be when we get books published and we become famous. I miss it enough that I've often considered that it would be better to return to that time, and forgo all my success, if only I can get back with my friends.
So here's the new webpage, designed for people to comment and interact with me. Don't hesitate to say something. Don't worry about bothering me. I like talking to people. I like making new friends.

Will play on Saturday in Easton
The Braintree High School football squad will compete in the Under Armour 7v7 National Passing Tournament, which will be held at Oliver Ames High School in Easton on Sunday, July 20, starting at 10 a.m.
The 7v7 format has continued to grow by leaps and bounds across the national landscape. The format is incredibly popular in the Southeast with attendance that exceeds 10,000 fans the norm.
It has grown exponentially in the Northeast with the three regional tournaments hosting 120 high school squads from New Hampshire, Maine, Rhode Island and Massachusetts.
Braintree, for the second consecutive year, will compete in the South Regional competition along with 39 other schools from the area.
"I am looking forward to the competition," said Wamp senior quarterback Mike Mahoney, who was a prominent member of last years Braintree entry. "It's a great atmosphere and with Under Armour as sponsor it makes it special."
Other local area schools of note that have entered the tournament include; Quincy, Scituate, Framingham, BC High, Bridgewater-Raynham, Brockton, Natick, Catholic Memorial, Marshfield, North Quincy and Duxbury.
"We have a young group this year," noted Braintree coach Brian Chamberlain. "It will be a learning experience for many of our guys that have not played against a varsity quarterback."
Each team will play four pool games (24 minutes in length) with two teams from each of the 10 pools advancing to the finals.
The rules call for the quarterback to release a pass within four seconds of the snap.
The winner and runners up of the South will advance to the Northeast Championship on July 30 to face the winners/runners up from the North and East regional.

Wiggins now has shadow hanging over him: Irvine
Ulster's former World Track Champion Martyn Irvine believes that a shadow now hangs over 2012 Tour de France winner and Olympic gold medallist Sir Bradley Wiggins for his use of a banned steroid before races.
Newtownards rider Irvine adds that the image of Wiggins has been tarnished following the controversy that has rocked cycling and led to three-time Tour de France winner Chris Froome and six-time Olympic champion Sir Chris Hoy stating that Team Sky's Wiggins has questions to answer.
Wiggins, Britain's most decorated Olympian, and Team Sky deny wrongdoing, insisting the use of the powerful anti-inflammatory triamcinolone before the Tour de France in 2011 and 2012 and 2013 Giro d'Italia was medically necessary to deal with a pollen allergy that aggravates Wiggins' asthma condition.
There is no suggestion any rules were broken and the therapeutic use exemptions (TUEs) were approved by the UCI, cycling's world governing body, and relevant anti-doping authorities, but that hasn't stopped the cycling world talking about it.
Irvine, a long-time critic of drugs in sport, said: "What has happened has tarnished Wiggins. There is a shadow over him now. It will always be there."
Irvine, who this month joined Ireland's first ever professional cycling team Aqua Blue, added: "To my mind they got their hand caught in the cookie jar. They tried to bend the rules for their maximum benefit and they got caught doing it. It's not illegal what they have done but in my eyes it is unethical.
"Cycling gets a lot of bad press but I do believe the sport wants to change the image and actively chase the problem.
"I can't believe there aren't other sports stars in other sports with stuff pumping through their blood that shouldn't be there. It's happening out there and it depends on who wants to turn a blind eye or not. There are more sports than cycling which have problems."
The Wiggins issue is the latest controversial episode to hit British cycling in a rollercoaster year.
Great Britain's cyclists topped the medal table at the Rio Olympics and Paralympics, but this followed Shane Sutton leaving his role as British Cycling technical director in April, 100 days prior to the Games, following discrimination allegations. Sutton denies the allegations, which are the subject of an independent review.
Ian Drake is set to depart his role as British Cycling Chief Executive in April.

Role of oxidative stress
There is growing evidence on the importance of studies focusing on mechanisms and strategies leading to cancer prevention. The plethora of approaches include regulation of oxidative stress using antioxidant therapies, carefully balanced diets and living habits, epidemiological evidence and molecular approaches on the role of key biological molecules such as antioxidant enzymes, vitamins, proteins and naturally occurring free radical scavengers as well as controversial results and clinical applications. These are some of the topics that this book highlights.

There is a strong relationship between health insurance coverage and access to medical services. Health insurance makes a substantial difference in the amount and kind of health care people are able to afford, as well as where they obtain care. Research has consistently shown that the lack of insurance ultimately compromises persons' health because they are less likely to receive preventive care, are more likely to be hospitalized for avoidable health problems, and are more likely to be diagnosed in the late stages of disease.

Private real estate investment is a typical one-shot decision problem for personal investors due to the huge investment expense and the fear of substantial loss. There is only one outcome for a one-shot decision problem. The private real estate investment problem is analyzed within a one-shot decision framework. The procedure for a one-shot decision consists of two steps. In the first step, for each alternative, some states of nature, which are called focus points, are selected amongst all states of nature based on the attitudes of decision makers on uncertainty.

Fading support by the financial system for firms, and especially new entrants, is a major concern in the current context, underscoring the primary importance of fixing the financial system. Growing aversion to risk combined with other factors (such as difficulties for investors to exit) is already drying up many sources of seed and venture capital. The total amount of venture capital investment in the United States started declining at the beginning of 2008, and the fall accelerated at the end of 2008 and beginning of 2009 (Figure 2).

There are two general decision making strategies that judges use when evaluating a beer. In a top-down decision making strategy, the judge forms an overall impression about the quality of the beer, decides what overall score to assign that beer, and deducts points for each deficient characteristic of the beer based on the overall impression. The problem with this top-down approach to beer evaluation is that it is difficult to ensure that the points allocated to each subcategory (e.g.

Belgian senators call for support to Kurdistan Region
by Lorin Sarkisian / Roni Alasor
Brussels, 18 September 2015 - Middle East Diplomatic (MED) - Kurdistan Region deserves military, humanitarian and political support of the international community, concluded senators Alain DESTEXHE (MR), Sonja CLAES (CD&V) and Pol VAN DEN DRIESSCHE (N-VA) following their visit to Kurdistan and meetings with President Massoud Barzani and different ministers and parliamentarians.
The Belgian senators also spent some hours on the front line with Kurdish military forces Peshmergas, just some kilometers from Moussul. They could observe that the airstrikes against Daesh are effective, but not sufficient in combating the terrorist group. Being the only forces on the ground, the Pershmerga need better equipment and training, while for the moment the weapon deliveries are delayed by Bagdad, say the senators in their mission communiqué.
The senators also discussed the situation of 300 000 refugees from Syria and1.5 million internally displaced Iraqi people in Kurdistan who represent an economic, humanitarian and social burden for the whole Kurdistan region.
Upon their return to Belgium, the senators will transmit the requests of President Barzani and the Kurdish authorities to the Belgian federal government and to the European institutions, namely direct military and logistics support to the Kurdish Pershmerga forces and not via Bagdad; humanitarian help for the refugees and internally displaced people; intensified relations between Belgium and KRG.
The Belgian delegation was accompanied by Head of KRG Mission to the EU Delaver Ajgeiy who underlined the importance of such visits contributing for cooperation in mutual interests.

Booster Juice Opens at Toronto Pearson International Airport
EDMONTON, ALBERTA - (Marketwired - June 2, 2015) - Everyone wins when two fantastic organizations come together. In this instance it is travelers who will be the biggest winners as they make their way through Toronto Pearson International Airport's Terminal 1. Visitors to Terminal 1 now have two different options to grab their favourite Booster Juice Smoothie.
Once clearing security on the trans-border side, travelers and airport employees will now be able to pick up and enjoy their favourite Booster Juice Smoothie, fresh squeezed juice or food item prior to their flight. The second Booster Juice location in Terminal 1 is pre-security, so travelers waiting for their luggage or people waiting to pick up their loved ones can also enjoy Booster Juice Smoothies and food while they wait. Both locations incorporate a sleek unique look for Booster Juice. A few of the fun features include a digital wall at the Post Security location and a complex oval design at the Pre-security location which includes inspirational messages along the curved bulkhead that was inspired by the strawberry tornado in the logo.
"This is an exciting time for us as we have planned on opening a location within Toronto Pearson International Airport for quite some time now," said Dale S. Wishewan, Booster Juice President & CEO. He added, "I know travelers will be excited based on the positive feedback we receive on our airport locations in Edmonton, Ottawa and Halifax. With Toronto Pearson International Airport truly being a gateway to the world we are excited to bring a healthy option to fast food for the new customers we will reach with these locations. These locations could not have been possible without the hard work and vision of Glenn Tucker, Director of Non-traditional and International Development for Booster Juice, who was instrumental on securing these locations."
"At Toronto Pearson, we've worked hard to develop a unique array of options for all budgets and tastes. We are thrilled to welcome the great Canadian brand Booster Juice, as it gives us even more to offer people on the go," said Mike Ross, Director, Commercial Development, Greater Toronto Airports Authority.

About Booster Juice
The first Booster Juice was opened in Sherwood Park, Alberta in November 1999 by Dale Wishewan, Booster Juice President & CEO, a guy who thought it would be a good idea to sell smoothies in the middle of a Canadian winter.

In addition to their signature smoothies, their menu offers fresh-squeezed juices, hot food, and snacks.
