Warning: Video contains some graphic images and language that may be considered offensive to some.
ROSENBERG, Texas – One Texas couple has an incredible story to tell after their son was born outside a hospital's valet entrance.
The baby's father, Troy Dickerson, shot GoPro video of the frantic trip to the hospital after his wife went into labor.
According to KPRC, Kristin Dickerson was nearly two weeks overdue when her water broke.
Troy says he turned on his camera hoping to record to some of the excitement on their way to the hospital, just like he did for the birth of their two other sons.
In the YouTube video, you can hear Kristin ask her husband to pull over because she didn't think she would make it.
Seconds after Troy pulled into the hospital's valet entrance, Kristin said she could feel her son's head.
Before she could even sit down in the wheelchair, Kristin gave birth outside the car.
The baby boy, Truett, was born at 2:05 a.m. on June 28.
Kristin, who is a childbirth educator at the hospital, jokingly said she wouldn't be sharing her experience with future students.
"I tell my students, 'This will never happen to you, I promise!' But I do teach them about emergency birth so they'll be prepared for it, to take some of the fear out of it," said Kristin.

That's fine with me . I really wish you the best . I hope they're standing in line waitiing to advertise on your fine site because for the work you've done toward legitimizing the legalization of Marijuana, N.O.R.M.L. deserve it .
Just a suggestion though: I'd stop with the " Womens Alliance " stuff because that's prejudicialy sexist and your going to end up with more people who aren't interested rather than interested in advertising with N.O.R.M.L.
In other words they'll walk .
[Editor's note: Recognizing women is sexist? Shouldn't 'public' interests groups work for the public interest, including women? NORML is working with High Times on a Senior Alliance, to have a 'silver tour' that reaches out to seniors. Is this age discrimination? If there is a coalition in future that reaches out to minorities to get more involved in reform efforts, would this be racist?
One thing is for sure, cannabis will never become legal in America because a bunch of white guys who smoke ganja or use it for medicine want it to be so.
The coalition to reform cannabis laws must be necessarily diverse to end 74-years of Prohibition.]
Let all flowers bloom!]
I think it is time for some people to dig into some "conspiracy theories" about the drug war, you know whats funny? they make more fucking sense than cannabis prohibition… way more fucking sense.
I think this is a great idea! Not only will it help raise money for the NORML foundation, but it will also help other pro-Cannabis entrepreneurs at the same time.
NORML: Have you ever considered advertising NORML.org and/or NORML's Facebook Fan Page via Facebook's Ad Platform? I have seen many ads/campaigns being run on Facebook that are pro-Cannabis and it seems there is no way these campaigns would/could flop. It is just too easy to target a certain audience when you are dealing with Facebook Ads. If this is within your wishes and budget, hopefully you will take it into consideration for the future!
Good luck NORML, and as always, keep up the good work! 🙂
[Editor's note: Thanks for the suggestion and on a limited basis NORML has experimented with FB advertising…and with benefit.]
President Obama on Thursday called drug legalization "an entirely legitimate topic for debate," but quickly added "I am not in favor of legalization." my response is simply, Put Up or Shut Up Mr. President! The debate you claim is "an entirely legitimate topic for debate," is long over due. We the People have been a……sking this Government to give us this debate and debate this issue like reasonable human beings. The government's response has "shocked the sense of fair play," they have openly lied and mis-informed the general public for since 1937. Mr. President we want this debate! We dare you to set this in motion and since you clearly stated, "not in favor of legalization", you and your party should put up or shut up and defend Prohibition. We the People will bring it on, set the ground, we'll debate who ever you send. All we ask is that it be live and transparent to the public.
Direct from the White House Facebook. I guess Russ doesn't like my posting on THEIR SITE. He wrote the following to me; from Russ Wilkinson: "Get off your a$$, start writing your congressmen and get the people who would actually craft and present the law to do their jobs. Complaining on a page that only the WH interns read as part of their hazing and making it sound like some po…mpous appeal to the president does nothing.
Anthony, put up or shut up." Nice guy, just like the rest in government, don't care about the people. Please send the White House a thank you for caring email, let Russ know how you all feel abbout the wonderful justice that is given US Citizens. This is your government at work for you and I, ya right.
@ Stompedonmyrights #6 and #7
I too feel your frustration. Never in my life have I felt so oppressed by our elected officials. You have previously made some very good points in these comment sections. However, just like myself and many others here have done before, you are letting your frustration obscure your thoughts.
Despite the tremendous variety in ideas and opinions of how BEST to pursue our common goal, we must avoid "in-fighting" and accusatory tones that undermine our ultimate vision of ending prohibition. In other words, many of us, myself included, might benefit from taking a day or two to avoid dealing with this important issue, chill out, relax, and come back with a renewed vision and understanding of our changing political battle. Then, if you choose to continue writing the White House, so be it. That is YOUR vision of how BEST to pursue legalization. Just do what you do man!
Ultimately we ARE winning. We must continue to cooperate. We must support each other. We must relentlessly push forward.
Keep selling ad space
Keep building legitamate buisness'
Keep passing acts so people can grow med. MJ
Keep forming the cannabis social class
Then sue the pants off them when they trample your constitutional rights while trying to enforce their non-constitutional drug policy.
The only way to pass grass roots legislation today is lobby, on your dollar, or sue them in court and have them run the risk of losing their dollar if they loose. Red state or Blue state, the BIGGER elephant in the romm at the moment is not spending MORE tax dollars on frivilous ideas. The drug war is a frivilous idea and also at this moment, nationwide, your Constitutional rights are not.
Fight fire, with fire, it's the American way.

You don't run a bakery.
So why use the same cookie-cutter "website template" as a baker?
We've spoken a lot about the necessary ingredients for a contractor website – from grabbing attention, building trust, and using calls to action.
These are elements that other businesses don't care about on their website – but without these you're leaving money on the table.
In this post, we'll sum up all the things you need to include in your contractor website to make sure you're not wasting your money.
Explain what you offer and how you're different from the competition
Your customers are going to get quotes from other contractors and they will visit other contractor websites.
For this reason, your website needs to be crystal clear about two things:
- what you offer (what's in it for them)
- how you're different from the competition
The easiest way to accomplish this is with an eye catching headline on your website. Some mistakes people make with headlines is not making them large enough or not using enough color contrast to make sure they stand out.
Here's an example of a great contractor headline – How can we upgrade your lifestyle?
Then they have all the different services offered so the visitor can click on whatever they're interested in.
Mobile/responsive website
79% of smartphone owners use their device for local search (SearchEngineLand).
As a contractor serving a local service area it's essential that you have a site that can be viewed from mobile devices.
Recent studies by Comscore also show that people who are searching from smartphones for local services are much more likely to buy.
This means that those "hot buyers" – the ones on a mission to find a contractor – are looking on their smartphone.
Just another reason to make sure your website is mobile friendly (responsive design).
Portfolio of completed projects
A portfolio of completed projects helps people understand the types of services you offer and also builds trust.
If you have a specialty (or would like to target a certain type of job) your website portfolio is an excellent place to show your expertise.
Your project portfolio should feature well lit, high definition images. Make sure to categorize your photos to make it easy for people to see the photos they're looking for.
This can be done with a clean side navigation.
Customer testimonials
Testimonials build trust with every new visitor you have.
Recent studies have shown that 88% of people trust written testimonials online as much as they do a word of mouth referral (Bright Local).
For this reason, it's important that you make it a business priority to always ask for testimonials for your website.
Pro tip: it's helpful if your testimonials say different things about your company. For example, you can have one testimonial that highlights the quality of your work and then use another testimonial that mentions how the work you did was done on time.
The point is that you shouldn't use testimonials that all say the same thing. Each testimonial you choose should speak to some different customer benefit that you offer.
Next steps
On websites the last thing you want to do is make people wonder what to do next. You always want to guide your visitors through your website and make it very obvious what the next thing they should do is.
You do this by using calls to action on your website.
Calls to action can be the basic suggestions you put on your site like: Contact us, call us, schedule an appointment.
Your calls to action should stand out by either being buttons or large font in a different color.
If your main call to action is for visitors to give you a call – make sure you have your phone number in many prominent places all over your website.
Websites are not all created equal and as a contractor there are some things you need to have on your website.
Following the steps in this blog post is a great way to make sure you have all your bases covered.
The last step is to hire a great graphic designer to make sure that your website also makes a visual impact on your visitors right off the bat.
Remember, people judge your company based on how good or bad your website looks.

- Revision 935: changed to rawgithub, for correct mime type
other updates: http://code.google.com/p/jquerysheet/feeds
Old page content (to be deleted?)[+]
Some issues reported in plain text
Add your issues below
- add a link to create new sheets at the main app. menu (right now just "list sheets") Really? Ok. I intend to rename the menu item Spreadsheets, rather than TikiSheets so people will know what it is.
- Since there is not a dedicated URL to create, it makes an ugly URL. Low priority in my opinion --MarcLaporte
- Allow deleting many sheets at once (multi-select them at view list and with select "delete") On my list
- Low priority in my opinion --MarcLaporte
- (tested with jquery.sheet disabled) Creating a graph doesn't auto-display the wiki text underneath as it used to do. The "Wiki Plugin section displays nothing even if you type range of cells for label and data. http://localhost/tiki_trunk/tiki-graph_sheet.php?sheetId=1&graphic=PieChartGraphic&width=500&height=400&renderer=PNG .. presumably old bugs - not looked at that bit at all
- Won't fix as Tiki7 will see overhaul of graphs
- With Tiki 5.0: When jquery.sheet is off, but spreadsheet and ajax are on, I see the never-ending ajax "loading" icon and shadowed square over the spreadsheet table, and I can't click to any button (edit, etc.) because the shadowed square from ajax "loading" doesn't seem to allow clicking underneath. It can be reproduced in http://precarios.org/sheet1 (once upgraded to Tiki5). Using Arcturus.css + smartiki.css.
Fixed? 5.x r27874 (backports of various fixes in trunk)
- Xavi testing with this SHEET HISTORY as an example in trunk and REV 28956: http://demo.tiki.org/trunk/tiki-history_sheets.php?sheetId=1&readdate=1284113147|1284112683|
- (0) the Pipe character in tiki url's like above doesn't allow to hide url and write a label instead. I.e.: [http://www.spreadsheet.com|foo] produces foo, but the url 1284112683 doesn't seem to get parsed properly. If you remove the trailing pipe, sheet history is displayed anyway in the same way (afaik) but the parsing of that link is not the expected: it shows the second text. And adding some text at the end after the second pipe, doesn't change the result with revision 28956, at least: 1284112683
- (1) show version number on top of each sheet
- (2) allow the user to place sheets side to side, or above and below. There is no perfect solution: some sheets or editions add lots of content to columns, and some other times, it's to rows
- (3) By default, I would show sheets above and below, aas in the beginning, because most tiki sites use side columns, and some tiki sites are starting to use "fixed width" for the tiki display, and annoying to have to scroll so much even if you have a huge and wide screen.
- (4) ensure that you can let the admin decide whether one or two of the tiki side columns have to be shown when you are in the feature spreadsheet. This can be handled for most features through "Admin > Look and Feel >Miscellaneous > Layout per section (tiki-admin_layout.php)"
- BTW: I notice that I can't see the changes in style/markup (column width or bg color, etc.). FYI
- (5) In some cases, I don't understand what was the change about (and it was my change, I know I changed something!): http://demo.tiki.org/trunk/tiki-history_sheets.php?sheetId=1&readdate=1284113147|1284112958|
- (6) display the table with the list of versions and the buttons to coompare some other combination also below the side by side comparison of two versions (like inn Wiki history)
- (7) in order to let the user decide when comparing two sheet versions if he/she wants to see (a) the original wiki text in the sheet , or (b) the parsed text-html or (c) Output text only - no html tags, you could look at what jörn ott did at tiki-page-contribution.php. More information (Screenshot: http://doc.tiki.org/ContributionsByAuthor )
- A few notices on a site using strasa and r29358 (Xavi, here: http://iesbarcelona.org/esso350/tiki-view_sheets.php?sheetId=11 )

Priorities from Marc
Resize bars are too hard to grab (use coordinates)
Usability issue still: no icon is shown so is not clear that firefox will allow the user to resize that cell. It does, but it's not clear how (until you try, just in case).
- Default color selection
- Color UI is better now than before on https://rawgithub.com/Spreadsheets/jQuery.sheet/master/jquery.sheet.html but I still think there are too many colors
Text color now changes as soon as the tool is click, but text background only changes when we click out. Easy to fix?
- No
- Figure out a way for spreadsheet help icon to be available (like the rest of Tiki)
- Nowadays, it is at the menu on the top left corner.
- Nowadays, it makes me lose my current edits (but I need when I am editing)
Hideable cells/columns/sheets
- It's good now for columns and rows https://rawgithub.com/Spreadsheets/jQuery.sheet/master/jquery.sheet.html
Numbers need to increment with autoFiller
If the cell only has a number OR a letter and doesn't start with "=", auto increment!
- Numbers now auto-increment at https://rawgithub.com/Spreadsheets/jQuery.sheet/master/jquery.sheet.html
- formula update when inserting/deleting a row/column? (as in classic TikiSheet) (Robert)
- Still buggy
- Needs retesting on latest version
- Still buggy
Mergable cell (cosmetic)-> now only in the menu, so add to toolbar
I didn't find out how to merge cells. Xavi. Sept. 5, 2010.
- Now works beautifully at https://rawgithub.com/Spreadsheets/jQuery.sheet/master/jquery.sheet.html
- Color & border: Make cells style-able and exportable through xml/json (Robert)
- Done for text and background, still todo for borders and put code in Tiki
- jQuery.sheet menu
- Bring all elements from the jQuery.sheet demo to Tiki
- CSS abse, darkroom, darkshine, ohia: dark on dark text in cells
- Try a different jQuery UI theme? (feature_jquery_ui_theme)
- Let user change jQuery UI theme.
- PluginSheet height and width parameters for spreadsheet mostly works, but bug with height when using %
- Seems to work in edit mode
- Create a new type of button to link spreadsheets and trackers
- Review sheet permissions, including PluginSheet and Category Permissions .
- Attention: plugin SHEET doesn't respect perms on Tiki 4.1 nor in trunk.
- http://sima.pangea.org/sheet20 is not visible for anons.
- But if included in a public page, it is shown. e.g.:
That's a regression, as far as I remember
I tried to fix wikiplugin_sheet.php with this: http://pastebin.com/ChmZz7zE but it's not fully fixed. A user without local perm on that sheet can still see the sheet through sheet plugin in a wiki page. Xavi (Sept. 5, 2010)
- Attention: plugin SHEET doesn't respect perms on Tiki 4.1 nor in trunk.
- Use the Time_sheet profile, and find a way for the the calculated value (only one number) from PluginTrackerlist to be used in a cell sheet.
- Contribution fields should be added to jquery-sheet interface, as they show up in non-jquery-sheet interface once "contribution" feature is on.
Select box Viewable in the sheet interface, contribution type added to mysql tables, but contribution not viewable in the action log interface. Xavi (Sept. 5th, 2010).
Big things for Tiki7
- Sorting (ex.: http://mottie.github.io/tablesorter/docs/ (which is already in Tiki))
- Better integration between Trackers and Spreadsheet
- Add data from trackers in sheets
- Integration with tracker data, ability to import / export data from trackers to spreadsheets. Pending evaluation and quote by Louis-Philippe Huberdeau may be funded by Biomedcom. Contact P Campbell for futher information.
- locking cells

In the debate about offshore centers, one nation has quickly become the center of attention. Even though it is not considered to be "offshore" and it was hardly named in Mossack Fonseca's leaked client files, better known as the Panama Papers, U.S. media have increasingly recognized that the United States is as much part of the problem as it must be part of the solution when it comes to anti-money laundering and financial transparency in the fight against crime.
In January, the New York Times featured the use of shell companies in real estate purchases in Miami and New York and their potential for money laundering; Bloomberg highlighted the shifting tides in the trust service industry that sees several U.S. states taking business from the Cayman Islands and Bermuda with the promise of "confidentiality;" and several other media outlets targeted anonymous shell companies in Delaware, Wyoming and Nevada.
Professionals in offshore centers have long argued that tax evasion, money laundering and other "problems" associated with tax havens and the offshore industry are typically caused onshore. And they can as easily be remedied there by changing tax legislation and other domestic laws.
At the very least, offshore proponents have advocated, international rules and standard should be applied uniformly to establish "a level playing field."
Even seemingly straightforward objectives like the fight against corruption, which causes agitated finger pointing by NGOs and activist groups at small island financial centers, turn out to be blocked by the inability of the largest political power in the world to fully participate in global standards.
At the Anti-Corruption Summit in London last month, the United States was represented by Secretary of State John Kerry. At the event, Kerry forcefully remarked how corruption "tears at the entire fabric of a society" and "destroys nation-states." Yet, the U.S. was unable to sign a communique negotiated by all conference participants on concrete measures to tackle corruption.
It is just one example of America's ambivalent role in relation to financial transparency.
Tax transparency
On the one hand, the United States is a trailblazer for tax transparency, driven by the desire to uncover American tax cheats who use offshore bank accounts. On the other hand, its unilateral approach in the face of quickly evolving international transparency standards has caused new loopholes and made the United States more attractive as a secrecy jurisdiction.
A first effort to detect activity by its taxpayers abroad, the Qualified Intermediary regime in the early 2000s, under which foreign banks reported U.S. taxpayers who invested in U.S. securities, was unsuccessful. It failed because the account holders would go unreported if they simply blocked the account for U.S. securities or if they held the account through a corporate entity.
Then in 2008, whistleblower Bradley Birkenfeld provided an insight into how Swiss bank UBS actively helped U.S. customers evade tax.
Buoyed by the success in prosecuting UBS and its investigations, which were quickly extended to other Swiss banks, the U.S. government produced the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act.
With the threat of punitive withholding taxes for non-participants, FATCA forces financial institutions worldwide to sift through their customer databases in search of U.S. taxpayers and their assets and report them to the Internal Revenue Service. It also plugged the holes that existed in the qualified intermediary regime.
The prospect of FATCA alone and Swiss banks falling like dominoes in their resistance to U.S. Justice Department investigations was enough for 50,000 Americans to voluntarily disclose their previously undeclared assets abroad. So far the U.S. government has raked in about US$7 billion in back taxes and fines under various voluntary disclosure programs.
The success of FATCA, in turn, caused the U.K. and other European governments to emulate the scheme. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development developed a standard, the common reporting standard, that is similar to FATCA. More than 90 countries have signed up to it and from 2017 will start to automatically exchange information on the taxpayers from other countries in their home jurisdiction.
The schemes put together should produce near complete global transparency around taxpayer bank accounts and other financial assets that are held abroad.
A major impediment to its success is that, in addition to Panama and Bahrain, one country is not participating: The United States.
The U.S. claims it does not need to sign on to the common reporting standard because to make FATCA work it has concluded international agreements with other nations that in practice would lead to the exchange of tax data comparable to the common reporting standard.
"The people in the tax planning world will tell you that these agreements are generally considered as something of a joke," Bloomberg News reporter Jesse Drucker said at the Offshore Alert conference in Miami in May.
One such tax planner, Peter Cotorceanu, a lawyer with Swiss law firm Anaford, says in practice the U.S. had to severely restrict the information it can exchange on foreign taxpayers because current U.S. law limits the data that is collected by the banks and reported to the IRS.
Changes to the law, he added, are unlikely in the current political landscape.
"The IRS cannot promise to share information with other countries that it does not get from the banks."
What the IRS gets is very sparse indeed. Banks will report interest bearing accounts and U.S. securities held by a foreigner. But if the interest bearing account is owned by an offshore entity, it will not get reported.
All a non-U.S. person has to do to avoid disclosure under FATCA is to hold a cash or a non-cash account through an entity, or block non-cash accounts for assets that produce U.S. source income, such as U.S. stocks.
Despite this significant shortfall in the amount of taxpayer information that can be exchanged by the U.S., the OECD has accepted the U.S. regime as equivalent to joining the OECD standard.
This refusal by the OECD to declare the United States a non-participating nation in the common reporting standard has produced another gaping loophole.
If a structure involves two financial institutions in countries participating in the common reporting standard, say a BVI trust that has a Swiss bank account, only one of the two – in this case the trust – will report under the common reporting standard to avoid double reporting.
Only if the trust was in a jurisdiction that is not part of the automatic tax information exchange, the Swiss bank would have to "look through" to determine who the beneficial owner of the bank account is and report it.
"Now if the U.S. is declared a participating jurisdiction, this means that U.S. structures can book their assets outside the U.S.," says Cotorceanu. "It is really the best of both worlds."
The bank that holds the assets does not need to report because the U.S. entity that owns the assets will do so, but the U.S. entity will disclose only what is required under current U.S. law: next to nothing.
Cotorceanu has written a legal paper called "Hidden in Plain Sight" in which he explains how it is possible to legally avoid reporting under both FATCA and the common reporting standard. His conclusion: "A trust with a U.S.-resident trustee but structured as a non-U.S. trust for U.S. tax purposes is ideally suited for this purpose."
It will avoid reporting under the common reporting standard and FATCA, and it avoids U.S. taxation.
"The result of all of this," said Drucker, "is that a number of significant financial institutions, banks, trust companies and law firms are now actively marketing the U.S. as a secrecy jurisdiction or as they often call it, a confidentiality jurisdiction."
Earlier this year, Drucker and Bloomberg were the first to report on trust companies like Rothschild or Trident Trust setting up shop in Nevada and South Dakota.
"These companies were moving dozens of accounts out of places like Switzerland and Cayman and other places offshore into South Dakota in December, ahead of a disclosure deadline which took effect in January," he noted.
Drucker quoted an official of one of these trust companies he interviewed as saying, "Cayman was slammed in December, closing things that people were withdrawing. I was surprised at how many were coming across that were formerly Swiss bank accounts. But they want out of Switzerland."
Anonymous shell companies
Trust companies are not the only product in demand in the United States. Anonymous shell companies have also been a staple, not least because 14 U.S. states do not require beneficial ownership information to be collected.
Global Witness, an organization that takes a journalistic approach to highlight the links between corruption, conflicts and environmental and human rights abuses, says it noticed the persistent and prominent role of anonymous companies in everything it investigated.
"There was not a single story that we dug up that did not involve a shell company," Global Witness Director Shauna Leven said at the Offshore Alert event. "We think of it as the getaway vehicle for the criminal and the corrupt to clean their money that they have stolen."
This sparked an investigation culminating in Anonymous Inc., a TV report for "60 Minutes" on CBS. In it, a representative of Global Witness posed with a hidden camera as a potential client representing a foreign official.
Dropping numerous red flags for money laundering, he asked 13 law firms how to move suspect money into the United States to buy the key components of a luxury lifestyle, such as houses, yachts or jets.
None of the lawyers broke the law or actually moved money for the client, but all except one provided advice on how it could be done.
One lawyer suggested buying a "New York LLC" and a combination of companies to conceal the ownership through several layers. "Company A is owned by company B which is jointly owned by company C and D and you own the majority or all of the shares of C and D."
Another lawyer extolled the virtues of the U.S. legal profession. "A good lawyer knows the law and a great lawyer knows the judge," he surmised. "Are they going to throw a case for you? No. But are they going to bend over backwards to be courteous to you. Yes, they are."
For Ed Davis, a lawyer whose firm traces assets on behalf of creditors, an important element of the use of anonymous corporations is lawyers willing to set up those structures. "Many companies, whether in the BVI or Cayman, are set up by American lawyers," he said.
While noting that many of these "are not illegitimate in any way, shape or form," Davis was critical of the Limited Liability Company model, which does not have shareholders, but members.
If someone has a claim against a member who has put an asset, like a jet, into the LLC, it is only possible to access the income the member derives from it but not the asset itself, Davis said. "This is a very horrible concept that we have allowed to work its way into our corporate structure."
International standards
When British Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies were pressed to join an international standard for the automatic exchange of beneficial ownership information at the Anti-Corruption Summit in May, they pointed to the United States as the elephant in the room.
Cayman Islands Premier Alden McLaughlin said, "If those countries with real political clout on the world stage continue to focus only on jurisdictions that are smaller in size, while ignoring obvious jurisdictions that ought to be part of the conversation, the result will be continued failure.
"To seriously tackle corruption and not just pay lip service to it, we in this room must be committed to a standard that is truly global and to put behind us the shades of hypocrisy which are part and parcel of the global discussion of this issue for years and years."
Contrary to Cayman's position with regard to the common reporting standard, where it is a first mover in the automatic exchange of taxpayer information, government will not support a beneficial ownership standard that is not also supported by the United States.
The concern is that offshore companies that are subject to more stringent transparency requirements, to preserve the privacy that they have enjoyed so far, will likely follow the trend of the trust companies and relocate to any of the U.S. states that does not collect beneficial ownership data.
At the anti-corruption conference, the Chief Minister of the Isle of Man, Allan Bell, called the U.S. "a major secrecy jurisdiction and tax haven." He pointed out that nearly 10 times more companies were registered in a single building in Delaware than in his territory.
"There is one building in Delaware which has 285,000 companies registered in that one building and they don't know the beneficial owners of any of them," Bell said.
Cayman Minister of Financial Services Wayne Panton said not counting the BVI, the same building in Wilmington contains more companies than all of the Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies combined.
"I think that's a clear illustration of the scale of the problem from a U.S. perspective."
Speaking at a press conference after the summit, Panton said he thinks everyone is committed to developing the necessary standards to fight corruption. "The question is: Is it a global standard and is it a level playing field? That's a necessity."
If Cayman adopted a standard before others, "clearly that would drive some business away to jurisdiction that are less well regulated," he said. "That in itself defeats the purpose."

Subject: Issues Etc. – Top 5 Hymns
Over the last few days I've been getting caught up on some of the Issue Etc programs that have been diligently downloaded to my iPod. In particular, I have especially appreciated the 5-part series on the Top 5 hymns voted by Issues Etc listeners. I anticipated that "Lord, Thee I Love With All My Heart" would make it, but I was pleasantly surprised to see that the top hymn was "God's Own Child, I Gladly Say It."
These are all well worth listening to. And if you haven't decided to have "God's Own Child, I Gladly Say It" sung at your funeral service, I think you'll be convinced that you might want to add it.
Here are the links to each part of the Issues Etc series.

About Broke Wide Open
Broke Wide Open was born from one man's quest to search for answers to his identity. Luckily for us, this man is Rock Wilk; a beautiful soul, a skilled poet and musician. Initially produced as a musical journey in form of an album, the one-man play was created while riding on the NYC subway system and explored issues of identity stemming from his personal history as an adopted child. A man who grew up with great admiration of, and love for, his adoptive mother, and a mystery for his biological mother.
I tried to reveal myself, to strip down naked and open my personal window, to let you see who I am, in hopes that you might allow me into your world, briefly, one song at a time.
About Rock Wilk
An actor, a playwright and a poet, New York City's own Rock WILK is also a socially and politically charged vocalist and an accomplished multi-instrumentalist. He creates all of this art while riding the subways of NYC. Along with being a Nuyorican Poet's semifinalist and 2010 runoffs qualifier for The Nuyorican's national team, Rock also was recently a featured performer for Amnesty International at an event for human rights.
My father and my grandmother were both great storytellers. Just sitting around after a meal with them was a gift. You would hear the most amazing stories. They both had this ability to make you hang on every word, to make you laugh until you cried.
He has worked as a studio and touring background vocalist for many years, most recently singing with the legendary Patti LaBelle and contributing vocal and horn arrangements to the Grammy Award winning Les Paul compilation album, LES PAUL AND FRIENDS.
Rock's music can also be heard on such TV shows as MTV's "The Real World" and "Making The Band", among others.
There were many times I didn't think I was going to be able to complete this project, that it was just too difficult to get through, because I was digging so deep inside of myself.

Chemical Attractants Draw Weevil to Invasive Aquatic Plant
April 18, 2006
Scientists at the University of Minnesota have discovered, for the first time, at least two chemical insect attractants released by an aquatic plant. Professors Ray Newman and Florence Gleason, and their graduate student, Michelle Marko, identified the chemicals as glycerol and uracil. These compounds are produced by Eurasian watermilfoil, an invasive plant, and lure a native species of weevil (Euhrychiopsis lecontei) to eat, mate, and lay their eggs on the plants.
Both glycerol and uracil are produced by other plants, but are released at higher concentrations by Eurasian watermilfoil. This is bad news for the milfoil because the weevils are a natural biocontrol measure for this exotic plant that has plagued North American waters since the late 1940s. Eurasian watermilfoil can form dense mats of vegetation and crowd out native aquatic plants, clog boat propellers, and make water recreation difficult. It has spread to 177 lakes, rivers and streams in Minnesota.
"If you look at terrestrial systems," said Newman, a professor with the department of fisheries, wildlife, and conservation biology, "there are many insects that specialize by feeding on certain plants — cabbages, for instance, and the attractants are well-known. This is the first time a chemical attractant for an insect has been found for an aquatic plant."
The researchers gathered milfoil from lakes across Minnesota and then grew the plants in lab tanks for several days before extracting chemicals the milfoil released into the water. They tested the extracts on the weevils to determine their preference.
To pinpoint the attractants, the researchers used techniques as complicated as mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and as simple as a salad spinner.
Glycerol is a sweet-tasting thick liquid used in many products humans eat, such as candy, cakes, food coloring, and flavorings like vanilla. Uracil is a more complicated chemical with derivatives that are important to cell metabolism, particularly carbohydrate metabolism.
The weevil's attraction to these compounds increases as concentrations increase. "Although other aquatic plants also release glycerol and uracil, the higher concentrations released from Eurasian watermilfoil as it grows make it more obvious to the weevils," said Gleason, a professor with the department of plant biology.
Weevils used in the experiment were collected from the same lakes as the milfoil used by the researchers. The tiny weevils were placed in a "Y-tube" that had attractant materials in one side of the top of the Y and control materials placed in the other side. Weevils usually made their preference for the attractant materials clear within five minutes. The research team's results were published in the December 2005 issue of the Journal of Chemical Ecology.
"These findings would be useful for sampling or collecting adult weevils," said Newman. "The attractants could be used to lure weevils living in a lake into a trap so that they could be released elsewhere or used for research purposes, or the attractants could be used to get an idea of how many weevils live in an area."
What's the other mystery attractant? "There's a third compound we're aware of, but can't identify," said Newman. "Results are clear that glycerol and uracil are attractive to the insects, but there seems to be at least one more."

As funds get massively short, gold could spike
"Hedge funds and money managers are now less bullish on gold than they've been since June 2007, data from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission show. And that could actually be good news for the beaten-down metal.
'This could set us up for a bit of a run to the upside if we have the catalyst,' said Rich Ilczysyzn of iiTrader. 'But if we don't get it, then gold could go dormant for a while.'
In the week ended Dec. 3, short bets on gold increased by 4,557 to 79,631 lots, and longs slipped slightly to 106,405. That means the net long position in gold fell 16 percent to 26,774 futures and options, which is the smallest net-long position since June 2007.
The interesting corollary to this fact is that from June 2007 to March 2008, gold prices rose by 50 percent."

According the BCIC probe report, a copy of which is now with The Independent, there are seven severe allegations raised by the organisation, including that of production fraudulence in FY 2010–11; corruption in soil and stone feeding at the wash mill and crusher; misuse of government transport; misappropriation of thousands of taka in the name of house rent, gas and electricity bill payments; taking of bribes for giving jobs and plundering of money from the Tekerhat limestone mine.
However, the investigation report of the BCIC failed to find any evidence, though the probe committee expressed its apprehension over Akkash Ali. The investigation committee took close to two years to complete the report, which was submitted a month ago.
The report said there was sufficient ground for the allegations to be made, but there was no evidence to prove them.
The probe committee had recorded the depositions of 40 witnesses, including the officer-in-charge of the local police station, the then deputy commissioner of Sunamganj, local people's representatives, businessmen and officials of the Chhatak Cement Factory Ltd. None of those who had testified said anything in Akkash Ali's favour.
The BCIC closed Akkash Ali at the headquarters as director.
The probe report said the allegations levelled against Akkash Ali were neither true nor baseless.
Moreover, the probe committee declined to make any recommendation regarding the next course of action.
The parliamentary standing committee of industries, at its meeting in January 2013, had recommended to the ministry concerned that action should be taken after conducting an investigation.
Although most of the government's organs, including the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC), conducted investigations over the gross irregularities committed by Akkash Ali, the BCIC did not find any specific evidence against the allegation, giving Ali a reprieve, industry ministry officials said.
This correspondent tried to contact BCIC chairman Shah Aminul Haque over the mobile phone, but got no response from the other end.
Even tried to take comment from Akkahs Ali did not response this correspondent despite frequently tired to talk with him.

The bill requires the state board of parole to submit a list of offenders for community corrections transition placement referrals to the department of corrections staff. The staff shall inform the board when the referral is made or the reason for not making the referral. If an offender completes a community corrections program, the board shall schedule a parole release hearing and, if the decision is to deny parole, the majority of the full board is required to deny parole at that hearing.
The bill requires community corrections boards to develop and use a structured, research-based decision-making process that combines professional judgment and actuarial risk and needs assessment tools. If a community corrections board denies a transition offender a community corrections transition placement, the board shall electronically inform the department of corrections regarding the basis for the denial, suggestions for program completion, and a suggested subsequent referral timeline.
The bill specifies the information that must be included in a community corrections transition placement referral or subsequent referral packet. Current law gives the jurisdiction where a community corrections transition placement intends to parole first right of refusal. The bill eliminates the first right of refusal if attempting to place the transition offender into a specialized community corrections program or if the offender requests a placement in a different jurisdiction. The bill requires the subsequent referral of an offender for community corrections transition placement within 6 to 12 months of the offender's denial if the offender has not had a class I code of penal discipline violation in the previous year; the offender does not have consecutive misdemeanor sentences to serve; and the offender does not have a pending immigration detainer, pending felony charges, or an extraditable warrant. When an offender refuses placement in a community corrections program, the executive director may make a subsequent referral for the offender after the offender informs the executive director that the circumstance that formed the basis for the refusal has changed or resolved.
The division of criminal justice is required to provide community corrections training to department of corrections staff and community corrections boards. The division shall produce a report describing key community corrections data trends.
The bill appropriates $264,070 to the department of public safety from the general fund.
(Note: This summary applies to the reengrossed version of this bill as introduced in the second house.)

What's more, they intend on taking time for rest and relaxation while on a business trip in the next three years. These travellers are part of a growing number globally, who combine business and leisure.
"It is very tempting to add on an extra day or two onto your business trip, but it's sometimes just not feasible. However, there are ways of incorporating leisure while travelling for business," says Premier Hotels & Resorts' Group Sales and Marketing Manager, Grant Sandham.
A frequent business traveller himself, Sandham found that the evenings after working hours are ideal for immersing himself in the culture of the places he visits by trying out the cuisine and, if possible, taking in the local entertainment. "When travelling for work, one of my favourite places to stay is Splendid Inn Pinetown. In addition to being within 20 minutes from the Durban city centre—ideal for a night on the town—it's also within easy reach of North Beach and King Shaka International Airport. The onsite eatery—Saratoga Restaurant—serves up a delicious, traditional Durban curry," he says.
Splendid Inn Pinetown facilities include seven venues to host your conference, corporate event or product launch for up to 150 people.
As Sandham lives in Gauteng, a sunset walk on the beach while on trips to coastal regions is a rare treat. "I enjoy staying at hotels like Premier Resort Cutty Sark, which is literally 100 metres from the beach and has three superb conference venues with seating for up to 120 delegates. Depending on your conference schedule, you may even be able to squeeze in a late afternoon dive with ScubaXcursion, which is based at Premier Resort Cutty Sark. The hotel is situated at Aliwal Shoal, which is listed as one of the top ten dive sites in the world. Divers booking their dives and stay through ScubaXcursion receive a special discounted room-only rate.
The Group Sales and Marketing Manager says that one of the best things about business trips is getting to experience different parts of the country. For him, the sheer rugged beauty that surrounds places like Splendid Inn Port Edward, also part of the Premier Hotels & Resort portfolio, makes the time he has to spend away from home a bit more appealing.
If not brainstorming with colleagues in the Tuscan-style conference facilities at Splendid Inn Port Edward, one could easily break away to the Wild Coast, which is less than ten minutes away. Here, the entertainment options include an 18-hole golf course and gaming mecca. But after a full day of strategizing, you will not be blamed for staying put and enjoying the Old Mariner's Restaurant where meal times become a full dining experience, with a relaxing atmosphere and tantalising menu.
"Sometimes, it's adding little bits of leisure that can turn a business trip into a treat," concludes Sandham.

The start of a new school year is always invigorating for those of us who are a part of the SMU community. That is especially true now, as we begin the second year of the University's centennial commemoration period, marking the 100th anniversaries of SMU's founding and opening.
The year began with the exciting news, announced at the September meeting of the SMU Board of Trustees, that commitments to The Second Century Campaign totaled more than $653 million as of August 31. This historic success is a testament to the inspiring support of alumni, family, friends and the campus community, whose commitment to the University is enabling SMU to move forward boldly as a center for learning, research and scholarship.
As I welcomed our incoming students at SMU's 98th convocation ceremony, I was reminded of how historic the coming year will be in other ways.
We are looking forward to an exciting season of Mustang football, including the home game against TCU September 29, when SMU will seek to maintain possession of the Iron Skillet, symbolic of victory in the great rivalry between the two universities.
The total number of visitors to Centennial Hall, which features displays and interactive exhibits about SMU's past, present and future, is on track to exceed 100,000 in the coming months.
The dramatic transformation of campus will continue through a range of construction and renovation projects, part of SMU's commitment to provide students and faculty with the buildings and tools needed for achievement in every area of endeavor.
In November the University will celebrate the 100th anniversary of the laying of the cornerstone of Dallas Hall, which inaugurated our campus Master Plan and launched construction of the University in the collegiate Georgian style.
We also are looking forward to Founders' Day on April 19, 2013. In addition to celebrating the University's creation, this year's commemoration will begin the countdown to the opening of the George W. Bush Presidential Center the following week.
I encourage everyone to take the opportunity to visit the campus in the coming months and see firsthand the exciting progress that has already been achieved and the strides SMU is continuing to take.
Thank you for all you have done to support SMU's remarkable rise in this historic time for the University.

RAD Impressions was psyched to be a part of Buro 24/7 Malaysia's 2nd Anniversary Celebration on 21st July, 2017.
In keeping with the theme of "Too Cool for School", RAD was tasked to come up with a Cocktail Lab where guests would be able to mix their own concoctions. Inspired by the Chemistry labs we used to have in high school, our table was equipped with beakers, test tubes and other lab paraphernalia.
Guests were given a formula to follow in order to mix their own cocktails, before handing it to the "Professors" to finish them with ice and a little bit of magic:
Below are a few snapshots from the event of The RAD Mad Cocktail Lab:

Congratulations again, Buro 24/7 Malaysia!
To many more years to come.

The Perecman Firm, P.L.L.C. represented a client who sustained pilon fracture, open reduction, internal fixation, fracture, ankle, comminuted fracture, arthritis, and back injuries.
On May 26, 2009, the plaintiff, a plumber's assistant, worked at a construction site. He tripped while he was performing an inspection of a building's basement, and one of his legs fell into an uncovered hole in the floor. He sustained an injury of an ankle.
The plaintiff sued the site's owner and the construction project's general contractor. The plaintiff alleged that the defendants violated the New York State Labor Law.
The defendants impleaded a subcontractor that worked at the site. The first-party defendants alleged that the subcontractor's workers negligently created a dangerous condition that caused the plaintiff's accident.
The plaintiff claimed that he tripped on a cinder block while walking backward. He further claimed that the block had been discarded by an employee of the subcontractor. He also claimed that the basement was poorly lighted.
The plaintiff's counsel contended that the defendants violated New York Codes, Rules, and Regulations title 23, part 1.7(e)(2), which specifies that a work site's floors must be free of debris, scattered tools and materials, and sharp objects. They further contended that the violation established that the work site was not properly safeguarded, as required by Labor Law 241(6). The plaintiff's counsel also contended that the defendants violated Labor Law 200, which defines general workplace-safety guidelines.
Defense counsel contended that the cinder block was an open, obvious condition that the plaintiff could have easily avoided. They also contended that the accident was a result of the plaintiff having failed to maintain a proper lookout. Alternatively, they contended that the plaintiff could not establish that his fall was caused by a cinder block.
The subcontractor's counsel also contended that the subcontractor had completed its work months prior to the accident and that the project's general contractor was responsible for subsequent maintenance of the site.
The Perecman Firm, P.L.L.C.'s team of NYC personal injury attorneys have recovered more than $500 million in verdicts and settlements for their clients. We understand the financial and emotional toll a serious accident can have on your life. That's why we dedicate ourselves to maximizing your recovery and securing what you deserve.

I'm glad to see people working on this idea about a Basic Income Guarantee (BIG) first advanced here in the United States by the great citizen-patriot-revolutionary Thomas Paine.
In the year 2000, political leaders from around the world signed on to a commitment to end poverty in fifteen years... here we are fifteen years later and poverty is getting worse instead of being alleviated and ended.
This is the richest country in the world; if we can't put an end to poverty with all of our resources and wealth what other country can?
At the present time, much of our Nation's wealth created by workers is being squandered on militarism and wars, subsidizing Wall Street's profits with our tax dollars and this Wall Street bribed government--- local, state and federal--- does nothing to put an end to poverty because there are big profits in poverty--- whether the profits come from paying workers poverty wages or banks being paid big bucks for being involved in administering poverty programs.
In my opinion, this Basic Income Guarantee is a very good reform provided it becomes legislatively tied to ALL actual cost-of-living factors.
While I definitely support the idea of lobbying for this important reform, I don't think we should kid ourselves into believing this Wall Street owned and dominated government will provide such a reform anymore that they will put an end to all these dirty wars which are making us all poor.
This Basic Income Guarantee is going to have to become a big part of the platforms and programs of alternative political parties; and, in my opinion, what we really need is a new progressive working class based political party to bring forward this important reform--- a political party intent on challenging Wall Street for political and economic power.
I hope others will forward and circulate this e-mail everywhere.
We should be thinking of convening some kind of local, state, regional and national conferences involving hundreds, if not thousands, of people in active support of the Basic Income Guarantee--- BIG.
The Basic Income Guarantee is an effort we should all be able to plug into in one way or another to lend our support.
Cindy Sheehan did a good job bringing this issue forward in her campaign for California Governor on the Peace and Freedom Party ticket.
We also need a Full Employment Act making it mandatory for the president and Congress to attain and maintain full employment.
I have suggested the two be tied together as some kind of reform package like a "21st Century Full Employment Act for Peace and Prosperity;" does this make sense to you?
The Basic Income Guarantee is in line with our Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights along with the United Nations' Universal Declaration of Human Rights, too.
I am especially happy to hear there is cross-border collaboration with our neighbors to the north in Canada on this very important issue of a Basic Income Guarantee.
Spread the word because if you don't, the Wall Street owned and controlled media isn't going to spread the word for us, although this would be the perfect issue for writing a "Letter-to-the-Editor" of your local newspapers--- and don't forget the many newsletters, too. And FaceBook posts and blogs.
If we want to build a movement to win the Basic Income Guarantee we need to bring this issue into the public square in a massive way.
Yours in the struggle,
Alan L. Maki

Subject: Special USBIG NewsFlash report from the meeting to create a political movement for basic income
To: firstname.lastname@example.com
As editor, I'm sending this report is to all subscribers of the USBIG NewsFlash. A new political movement began organizing itself at the 14th NABIG Congress in New York on March, 1, 2015. The following report shows how interested people can get involve. Please send correspondence to the relevant committee contacts (below), or to Jason Burke Muprhy
Thank you,
Karl Widerquist, editor, USBIG NewsFlash
Report from the meeting to create a political movement for basic income
Thirty-one people signed the attendance sheet at the first meeting of group of people attempting to start a political movement for basic income in the United States. Several more people attended without signing, and others followed and contributed to the meeting online. The meeting took place from 6:30 to 9:30pm at the Commons Brooklyn on February 26, 2015, at the close of the Fourteenth North American Basic Income Guarantee (NABIG) Congress. The meeting began with all participants discussing their background and the history that brought them to the basic income movement. The group then split into several small groups, each discussing a different issue. Participants reassembled to bring their discussion to the whole group and to make some decisions.
The group chose not to name a leader or a leadership committee. It did not even pick a name for the new organization at this point. Instead, it created several committees and asked them to perform certain tasks. The group created the following committees:
1. One committee will be in charge of legally chartering two groups. The U.S. Basic Income Guarantee (USBIG) Network, which has existed since 1999 without an official legal charter, will become a U.S. nonprofit organization—a so-called 501(c)(3). This means that it will be able to accept tax-deductible donations, but it will not be able to do overtly political work. The second organization (yet to be named) will be chartered as a social welfare organization or a lobbying group with a 501(c)(4) tax designation. This means that it will be able to do overtly political work, but donations to it will not be tax-deductible. The following members have so far joined the committee to charter the two organizations:
CONTACT PERSON: Steven Shafarman
Ian Ash Schlakman
Jason Burke Murphy
Mark Witham
Eri Noguchi
Dan O'Sullivan
2. A committee was created to organize the next meeting of the unnamed political group. The USBIG Network meets once a year at the NABIG Congress (which alternates each year between the U.S. and Canada), but the political group will meet more often. The committee hopes to organize the next meeting within 3 to 6 months. The committees within the unnamed political group will probably meet earlier via the internet. The following members volunteered to organize the next meeting of the unnamed group:
CONTACT PERSON: Mark Witham
Jude Thomas
Diane Pagen
Ann Withorn
Dorothy Howard
3. The content creation committee is in charge of research, news reporting, social media presence, and media relations.
CONTACT PERSON: Jason Burke Murphy
Contact for people interested in the NewsFlash and BI News: Karl Widerquist
Contact for people interested in improving the Basic Income articles on Wikipedia: Dorothy Howard
Scott Santens
4. The regional network committee will work on establishing local chapters of the group in cities and towns across the United States. The contact person for this committee is:
Kristine Osbakken
5. Liane Gaile
The organizers of this new group without a name put out a nationwide call to anyone who wants to get involved. If people would like to join one of the existing committees or propose a new committee, please email the relevant committee contacts and volunteer. If you don't know which committee to contact, the two groups have two general contact people:
The unnamed political group: Jason Burke Murphy
The USBIG Network coordinator: Michael Howard
The Following people signed the attendance sheet at the meeting:

About Us
It all began with a phone call...
One Sunday afternoon in 2009, Brian Wyant gave Kyle Boyd a call and asked if he would like to partner together to open a Christmas tree lot. Without giving it a second thought, Kyle accepted his challenge. He and his wife Shannon, along with Brian and his wife Angela, were all in, and Snowflake Village was born!
The goal of Snowflake Village was to minister to people and to serve the community by giving back to local Lake Wylie, Clover, Charlotte, and Fort Mill area non-profits, community organizations, and those in need.
The vision for the adventure within Snowflake Village was to provide a unique and impactful "experience" unlike any other lot! It was an amazing vision, but how did two families that knew nothing about Christmas trees, or what all goes in to running a tree lot, successfully develop the vision that God set before them? The answer was God's faithfulness in equipping those He calls!
Even after beginning the first year in a knee-deep mud bog where it rained 20 straight days, they all knew that God would pull them through. He blessed Snowflake Village in such a way that over the years Snowflake Village has been able to minister to hundreds of families with various needs. We have provided jobs, financial assistance, offered prayer and spiritual support, and gave a large portion of its proceeds back to their charitable partners.
Snowflake Village sells a lot of Christmas trees and wreaths, but even more than that, we are able to bless others and be blessed by so many people. We have many volunteers and supporters who donate their time, energy, and resources to make Snowflake Village a unique "one-of-a-kind" Christmas tree lot experience.
As always, God is faithful to Snowflake Village by overflowing our cups with blessings of love, joy, and the opportunity to touch other peoples' lives. We have many returning families that have now made Snowflake Village their family tradition! We are so grateful and excited to see what God has planned for us as we move forward!

According to TMZ.com, Jennifer Garner staged an intervention to help Ben Affleck, and TMZ has learned Ben wanted the help and agreed to go to rehab.
Jennifer went to Ben's Pacific Palisades home Wednesday afternoon to sit down with her estranged husband, begging him to get help. We've learned Ben didn't need begging ... he knows he needs help and was receptive.
Jen and Ben drove off at around 6 PM PT from the house ... and sources say the destination is a rehab facility. Our sources say Ben will enter a facility in L.A. County. We just found out they stopped at a Jack in the Box en route to the rehab place.
We're told Ben fell off the wagon a while ago, and has gotten progressively worse.
Our sources say the tipping point came 2 days ago when Jen saw a pic of Ben grabbing a box from a delivery man ... a box filled with beer and liquor.
Ben has been to rehab before ... back in 2001 for alcohol abuse. He also went back to rehab last December.
Jen filed for divorce in April, 2017 ... 2 years after they announced their split. The former couple remained close -- partly for their 3 kids -- and they are still not officially divorced.
Ben showed signs of excessive drinking when he took his date Playboy Playmate Shauna Sexton to Nobu in Malibu last week. His face was blotchy and he looked disheveled.
