Critter Tops
Today's card is a clean and simple card that I made with the FTL from this week. I have days that I just want to make something that is cute but not so much work and yesterday was one of those days for sure. After working one two more time consuming projects (you'll see one tomorrow) I decided to go easy with my Doodle Pantry card for this week. While I was going through my DP stamps I saw the cute Critter Tops set. Since I haven't worked with those yet I thought why not? I'll make this into a boy card using the Turtle Top and the newly released Primary Patterns Digi Paper Pack. I was a little intimidated by the Turtle Top but I chose the size I wanted my circle first then sized it to fit that. I think it worked so slick! The sentiment is from the Super Birdie set (one of my all time favorite DP sets!).
Don't forget to stop by the Doodle Pantry store and check out the Digi Grab Bag. Each great set in the Grab Bag is only $1! Laurie has lots of freebies throughout her store too!
Alright...I'll see you tomorrow with another super fun card!

Anti-Aging and Teeth Whitening
What if we could slow down the aging process for as long as we can, wouldn't that be great? The sad truth is we can't. We have tried several ways to slow down the aging process and in some cases completely reverse the process all to no avail. We went as far as experimenting with Botox, weight loss regimes, plastic surgery and in even natural remedies just to mention a few.
For those currently experimenting with these methods, there is the probability that you are overlooking one important area that concerns feeling and looking young. Can you guess what that is? I am referring to your shiny white teeth. We all can testify that the teeth are a fundamental part of how we look and feel, and also gives an impression to people around us. For those in doubt, shiny white teeth can leave you looking extremely young.
If you are fortunate not to have picked up vices like coffee, curries, tea, and wine, then you have nothing to worry about. But if you find yourself depending on some of these vices to get through the day, you should be wary that they might just be the reason why you are suffering from teeth stains and discoloration. Also, there are other causes of tooth discoloration like smoking and taking certain medications. Aging is also another common cause of tooth discoloration. Dentist's have been able to prove over time that growing older leads to darker teeth.
We all know discolored teeth can affect your self-esteem and confidence making you feel and look older than normal. This is why a lot of people continually search for ways to make their teeth look whiter and cleaner. Studies have revealed that there are enormous benefits of having shiny white teeth. Do you know that your smile is visible from about 200 feet away? And people assuming a person with whiter teeth is more successful in all spheres of life, and it is also a sign of good health and excellent personal hygiene.
So how do white teeth make us look younger? Firstly, white teeth give us tremendous confidence, which is very important when communicating with others. White teeth indicate youthfulness; this is very true as an experiment carried out to predict the age of people by looking at their smile revealed that people tend to associate white teeth with youth.
If you want white teeth, but cannot seem to shake the vices causing the stained teeth, you need not worry. Several methods are available that could be used to help tackle tooth stains and discoloration leaving you with white teeth and very bright smiles as you grow older.
However, it is highly advisable you consult with your dentist to know the reason for your discoloration, to get a proper diagnosis before you start applying treatment. This is because undergoing the wrong treatment method could be ineffective, time-consuming and expensive in the long run.

A Redditor, Arrav_VII, asked users to hurl the worst pick-up lines and answers on a thread and the results were, well, truly heart-stopping. A little search led us on to other similar threads that made us clasp our brain for fear of losing it. Here's our selection of the choicest pick-up lines that ought to be banned as a service to the public.

13. "Hey girl, are you a pickup line? Because I'm about to use you." -- Theriegs
14. "You may fall from the sky, You may fall from a tree, But the best way to fall...Is in love with me." -- whatisthisidontevenf

Tennessee coach Cuonzo Martin told me this week there's a strong chance that both Antonio Barton and freshman Darius Thompson could be on the floor in end of game situations. Martin verbalized last spring that he felt he got a steal in the 6-4 Thompson and Barton has never really gotten an opportunity to be a starter after spending the first few years of his career at Memphis as a backup to Joe Jackson. Barton only logged 16.7 minutes per game last season and has been waiting his entire career to get the opportunity he's about to get this season with the Volunteers. The most underrated thing about the 6-2 Barton? In each of the past two seasons, he's shot 40% from three-point range.
– I'm hearing Iona coach Tim Cluess is toying with the idea of using 6-8 forward David Laury as the Gaels' point guard. Laury averaged a double-double last season (13.1 PPG, 10.3 RPG), but only played half the year because he had to sit out the first semester for transfer reasons. The skilled forward has Royce White like ability and could give Cluess a potentially devastating lineup with Sean Armand, JUCO transfer Isaiah Williams, Rutgers transfer Mike Poole, and Tre Bowman on the wings. This might be the year where Iona averages close to 90 PPG.
– Minnesota will likely use Andre Hollins off the ball more this season with either Maverick Ahanmisi or JUCO transfer Dre Mathieu operating at point guard. The 6-1 Hollins averaged 14.6 PPG last season as a junior, and should be one of the better scorers in the Big Ten under Gophers' first-year coach Richard Pitino. An accelerated pace should create more opportunities for Minnesota in the open floor, and it will be interesting to see how the rest of conference adjusts to such a high-octane style. The Big Ten is known for a lot of things, but playing faster definitely isn't one of them.
– An under-the-radar early season non-conference game? Towson at Villanova on November 17th. The potential CAA champion takes on the underrated Wildcats in what feels like a second-round NCAA Tournament game. This one will be worth the trip for anyone in the Northeast.
– The production level of Pitt's wings is a major X-Factor to the Panthers' season. James Robinson should emerge as one of the better floor generals in the ACC as a sophomore, but either Cam Wright or Durand Johnson needs to become a reliable scorer for Pitt. Wright and Johnson each averaged 4.3 PPG last season, but only combined to make 29 three-pointers.
– San Francisco looks like a legitimate sleeper in the WCC after Gonzaga, BYU, and Saint Mary's. Rex Walters' team returns two potential all-league players in forward Cole Dickerson and guard Cody Doolin as well as several key role players from last year's group that finished 15-16. The Dons beat St. John's last year on their home floor and will play at Carnesecca Arena on 12/18/13.
– Rutgers coach Eddie Jordan said this week that Kadeem Jack will see time at center this season when the Scarlet Knights opt to go with a smaller lineup. The 6-9 Jack averaged 5.7 points and 4.7 rebounds per game last season but only logged 18.2 minutes per contest. Don't be surprised if Jack averages close to a double-double with expanded minutes.
– UConn's suspension of veteran big man Tyler Olander this week for a DUI puts even more pressure on Huskies' sophomore Philip Nolan. The 6-9 Nolan averaged just 1.4 points and 2.1 rebounds per game last year as a freshman and will need to produce with regularity for UConn. Kevin Ollie's team may very well have the best back court in college basketball with Shabazz Napier, Ryan Boatright, Omar Calhoun, and George Washington transfer Lasan Kromah — but their front court is a serious question.
– Looking forward to heading out to the West Coast next week to visit with several schools in Arizona and California. Check back to this space next week for updates from Arizona, Arizona State, USC, UCLA, and Long Beach State.
– Howard Garfinkel's annual clinic will be Saturday, September 28th at Fordham Prep. The list of clinicians include Kentucky coach John Calipari, Pete Gillen, Seth Greenberg, and Mike Fratello. For more information, call 646-275-9818.

When you're investing, the last thing you want to do is pay too much for a stock or miss an opportunity to get a bargain price. This is where a company's price-to-earnings ratio comes into play, and not all P/E ratios are the same. What makes a P/E ratio good or bad depends in part on your style of investing, which is generally based on your goals and risk tolerance. Also, a company's valuation, which is another way to characterize its P/E ratio, is relative based on the industry in which the business operates.
P/E Ratio
A P/E ratio illustrates where a stock is currently trading based on its past or future earnings performance. A trailing 12-month P/E ratio reflects the stock price based on earnings over the past four quarters, while a future P/E ratio illustrates where a stock is trading based on profit projections. While a P/E ratio alone doesn't tell you whether a stock is a good investment, it does indicate whether or not investors are demonstrating confidence about future returns.
One way to gauge whether a P/E ratio is good is to compare it to the market average. The average P/E ratio for the S&P 500, which is a market index that represents trading in the broader stock market, was 15.3 in January 2013, which fell below the long-term average of nearly 19.0. This suggests that stocks were trading inexpensively during the month, according to a 2013 "USA Today" article. As a result, some of the stocks trading at a lower-than-average P/E could represent a buying opportunity that might lead to future profits.
Industry Average
Another way to judge a company's P/E ratio is to compare it with the industry. When discount-airline Pegasus began trading on Turkey's stock market with a P/E ratio of more than 14.0, the valuation was about twice the size of industry rival Turkish Airlines. Pegasus was trading more expensively and investors appeared to get a bargain by investing in Turkish Airlines. Nonetheless, analysts expected that Pegasus' earnings were rising, which would lead to a higher P/E ratio, according to a 2013 article on "The Wall Street Journal" website. In this case, Pegasus was the one trading at a good price.
Growth and Value
Value stocks are companies that are trading at beaten-up, or low, P/E ratios, but nonetheless may have some catalyst for future earnings growth. Growth stocks, on the other hand, are expensive. They trade at higher P/Es based on recent earnings growth and investor expectations for similar performance in the future. According to a 2012 article on the "Forbes" website, a good P/E for value investors is one that doesn't surpass a company's growth rate, while growth investors aren't deterred by a high ratio as long as a company is increasing its profits, sales and margins.

The resale of tickets for concerts and sporting events, at higher prices than those at which they were initially made available, is often regarded as "scalping," a repugnant transaction that is illegal in some states. (See e.g. Greg Mankiw's post about resales of Jay Leno tickets...)
But the lines are getting less clear, as artists and sporting venues try to make use of the secondary market themselves, to benefit from the higher prices enabled by discriminatory pricing:
Concert Tickets Get Set Aside, Marked Up by Artists, Managers .
"Less than a minute after tickets for last August's Neil Diamond concerts at New York's Madison Square Garden went on sale, more than 100 seats were available for hundreds of dollars more than their normal face value on premium-ticket site TicketExchange.com. The seller? Neil Diamond."
..."Secondary ticket sales are viewed by Ticketmaster, concert promoters and artists as one of the biggest -- yet thorniest -- sources for revenue gains. In 2006, Ticketmaster launched TicketExchange in response to pressure put on its profit margins by secondary-ticket sellers such as StubHub. But in doing so, it opened the company to criticism by ticket brokers, fans and politicians, who accuse the ticketing giant of profiteering and obfuscation.
Ticketmaster is moving to distance itself from some parts of the secondary ticketing market. It is in the process of hiring an investment bank to try to sell another resale service, TicketsNow, according to people familiar with the matter.
Virtually every major concert tour today involves some official tickets that are priced and sold as if they were offered for resale by fans or brokers, but that are set aside by the artists and promoters, according to a number of people involved in the sales."
One of the interesting things about this story is how Ticketmaster and the artists seek to put some distance between themselves and the secondary market. Luke Coffman (who you can try to hire next year), has a paper that seeks to understand this: Intermediation Reduces Punishment .
As part of his investigation into how people view economic transactions, he runs experiments that show that charging a high price through an intermediary may be seen as less blameworthy than charging a high price directly, even if going through an intermediary means that the ultimate price charged is higher than it would have been with a direct sale. And, he finds, this doesn't seem to result from confusion; apparently putting some distance between yourself and an act that may be regarded as blameworthy dilutes the blame, even in the eyes of observers who understand that you are doing it for that reason.
The "middleman" view of scalping gets some support from Trent Reznor of the band Nine Inch Nails (courtesy of Eric Crampton's blog Offsetting Behavior, for which HT to MR).
Luke will be talking about his work on intermediation, and related work on how people perceive the moral content of economic transactions, in our Experimental Economics class today.

Actress Elizabeth Banks is all too familiar with a prosthetic stomach. The funnywoman rocked a faux baby bump on the set of Scrubs and 30 Rock before she took it to the big screen in the What to Expect When You're Expecting movie. But though her belly may be totally fake, her portrayal of the trials of pregnancy is all too real. Look no further than her candid confession in the movie's trailer: "Pregnancy sucks. Making a human being is really hard!"
Thankfully, Elizabeth was much more pleasant off screen when WhatToExpect.com met up with her in Atlanta after a long day of shooting scenes for the film. And it's no wonder that this Emmy nominee is an old pro at turning on the charm — she's been on the acting scene since her breakthrough role in 2001's Wet Hot American Summer, where she got to split the screen with a slew of then-up-and-coming stars, including Paul Rudd, Amy Poehler, and Bradley Cooper. Fast forward to a jam-packed 2012 — she's played a police psychologist in the thriller Man on a Ledge and the outrageous Effie in the beloved Hunger Games trilogy. But her favorite role to date (aside from starring in What to Expect When You're Expecting, of course) is being a mother to her baby boy Felix, whom she and husband Max Handelman welcomed in March 2011 via surrogate.So hear all about, well, what to expect from the film straight from one of the movie's stars, plus get her take on parenthood — including her most embarrassing (and LOL-worthy) mom moment and her advice for her fellow working mamas — in this exclusive Q&A.

Optimizing InterCall On-Demand Conferencing Part 3
As we uncovered in our 2014 research, employees' growing dependence on mobile technology—in their personal and professional lives—is transforming how, when and where workplace communication happens. With almost two-thirds of U.S. adults now owning a smartphone (up from around one-third in 2011), we're confident in saying that mobile conferencing is here to stay.
Last year's InterCall study found that the number of mobile calls into conferences rose 19 percent from 2012 to 2013. We pulled the most recent conferencing data and saw that mobile calls jumped another 21 percent from 2013 to 2014. The total number of mobile conferencing minutes experienced another year-over-year bump (17% from 2012 to 2013 and 23% from 2013 to 2014).
Given mobile's momentum, businesses need to rethink and retool their conferencing platforms to accommodate employees' work-from-anywhere habits. For this third and final installment of our InterCall On-Demand Conferencing blog series, we wanted to spotlight the different features InterCall users can take advantage of to enable and elevate their mobile conferences:
For smartphone and tablet-bound employees, InterCall offers MobileMeet, a free app that lets users easily schedule, host and join conferences from their iOS or Android devices. MobileMeet syncs with workers' existing calendar apps (as well as Siri, iCloud and Google Drive) and sends push notifications when other callers join the meeting, eliminating the need to remember complicated dial-in information and therefore reducing the time it takes to start/join calls.
To ensure data security for remote and off-site employees, businesses can configure the app to require passwords for all corporate accounts and change those passwords on a regular basis. Most importantly, InterCall users don't need to sacrifice rich interactive conferencing capabilities just because they're on the go. MobileMeet users can chat with other call participants, record meetings, lock meeting rooms and mute specific callers for more productive conferencing.
Sharable Call Recordings
With so many mobile conference attendees taking calls in strange or public places—not to mention multi-tasking with emails, social media and snack breaks—having a call recording to review later is a smart insurance plan. InterCall On-Demand Conferencing users can quickly record meetings with a touch of their keypad or click of the mouse and access the audio files online or through a toll-free number later on.
Employees can also enjoy an array of playback options (including rewind, fast-forward and speed settings) regardless of how or where they access the recording.
InterCall Pass
To make mobile meeting access even more painless, InterCall On-Demand Conferencing users can store all of their account information in the Apple Passbook app. This digital wallet card (compatible with the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch) stores not only conference codes and dial-in numbers, but also links to integrated InterCall tools such as MobileMeet and lists of international dial-ins.
Businesses can't reverse their employees' reliance on mobile devices. By adapting to this communication evolution rather than resisting it (and adopting the right tools to do so), companies will encourage staff to work smarter, wherever they are.
How often do you dial in to conferences from a mobile device? Are there specific mobile calling features you wish you had?

If you have a brilliant idea, a smart strategy to get it out into the real world and a burning desire to raise cash to turn it all into a money-making, ground-breaking reality, then Kickstarter is a brilliant platform. It enables you to connect with early adopters on the lookout for bright sparks and "the next big thing", chat with big-bod investors and potentially share your story with millions of people across the planet.
But to run a successful Kickstarter campaign you can't just go in all guns blazing with a cool idea and a tonne of enthusiasm, even though many people try to. You have to know who to talk to in order to turn your dreams into a reality, you have to know how to talk to them and you need to make a kick-ass Kickstarter page that people just can't resist taking a punt on.
Here's out step-by-step guide to running a successful Kickstarter campaign, from making sure your initial idea is really up to scratch through to how to talk to some of the most influential journalists in the business to get your story out into the world.
Figure Out if Your Idea is Robust Enough
It sounds like a simple one, but how many times have you had a few too many drinks and dreamed up the best idea ever in your head that'll change everything only to wake up the next morning feeling embarrassed and hungover after you told everyone in the pub about it? We all know the feeling.
Well, we don't want your Kickstarter campaign to end up the same way. Test the waters. Ask for honest feedback from you nearest and dearest, from your colleagues, your old acquaintances and even contact key industry players.
Got a great idea for a new smartwatch? Get in touch with a journalist you admire at a tech publication or the CEO of a company that you think is totally owning a similar space. The worst-case scenario is they might not get back in touch, the best case scenario is you might get a new mentor who can help you along the way and give you honest feedback about your idea and your brand.
If you don't ask you'll never get. And the first step is all about asking and getting all of those brilliant ideas out of your head and into the real world.
Develop a Solid Plan

Creative types are notoriously good at dreaming and blue-sky thinking and not so good at planning and turning their visions into a reality. In most cases, you have to be good at both (or have a team that's good at both) to be successful on Kickstarter.
You need to plan what story you want to tell, the images you'll use, the rewards you'll offer, who you'll tell about the campaign before it launches, who you want to tell all about it after, what happens if you hit your target and what happens if you don't.
This isn't a process in obsessing over the 'what ifs' and doing away with creative thinking. This is about getting real and ensuring your Kickstarter campaign is built on a solid foundation.
Build a Brand and a Story
There are a few Kickstarter campaigns that have proved to be a huge success with a small, awesome idea and little else. But many of the most noteworthy crowdfunding campaigns developed a brand around their idea and told a simple but great story about why people should care about it. People invest in stories, in other people who make them feel excited and uplifted. They rarely invest in an idea all on its own.
Think about the story you can tell around your idea, consider how it can help people and tell everyone how you dreamed it up, your process and your visions for the future. Do you want to flog a few e-bikes or do you want to change the shape of personal transportation to save the planet? OK, so that might be a bit OTT. But you can see the difference.
You can use a number of tools to do this, like setting up a separate blog or Twitter page to share insights, stories and past experiences. Or even taking your steps offline and running events, workshops and speaking at conferences to prove there's a person, a vision and a great story behind the Kickstarter page.
Get Real With Your Goal
If you fail to hit your target on Kickstarter you won't walk away with anything. Sometimes dreaming big works, a high target can make people think you have huge ambitions and you can hit it easily. But if there's a chance you won't reach those lofty heights, all of your hard work will be wasted. Now is the time to get real about your goal. Set a target that feels big and ambitious, yet achievable based on the feedback you've had, as well as similar past campaigns and the press coverage you're aiming to secure.
Talk to the Press and Influential Contacts (Before, During and After)

A key part of telling people all about the story behind your brand is getting in touch with the press. From small bloggers through to some of the biggest print publications in the world, if your idea is smart and your story is interesting there's a good chance someone will want to write about it and sing your praises.
The challenge is there are so many Kickstarter campaigns launched nowadays that many bloggers and journalists are a little wary when it comes to writing about them. Don't see this as a setback, see it as an opportunity to really hammer out your USP, figure out a unique voice and prove just why your product, service or idea is so important.
You don't need a six-figure PR budget to get the word out either, approach people on Twitter, send them a sneak peek of your product or idea, invite them to take a look at what you're up to, give them press shots and any important info they might need to write about you, talk to them with respect and make sure you're sending them to a brilliant Kickstarter page...
Build a Brilliant Kickstarter Page
Your Kickstarter page is the shop-front to all of your hard work. It's the face of your brand, your crowdfunding and your idea for the next 30 (or 60) days. It really matters.
This is where you can get your idea onto paper (alright, onto the screen) and make your brand's story come to life. But remember there's such a high bounce-rate online nowadays, so you need to catch people's attention within a matter of seconds.
There's a lot to consider, but keep things simple, tell your story in a way that's accessible, inspiring and authentic, get visual with product shots and infographics to ensure everyone clicks with your idea and keep updating it every step of the way as you get more interest, feedback and insights.
Create Killer Copy and Enticing Images
You need to invest time, energy and possibly even money into making the words you use, the images you pick and the videos you shoot really spot on, because most people only really get one first impression of your page. You need to make that first impression count.
First up there's the opening project video. This takes such a prime spot on your Kickstarter page that you need to make sure it communicates your idea, your story and why people should give you their cash. The challenge is you've only got people's attention for a few minutes (or often a few seconds) so you need to make every single moment count. Many Kickstarter projects include a second, longer video further down on the page for those who are interested and want to know about your idea in more depth; save all of the technical details, harder to explain concepts and wider stories for this one.
You need to keep the general text on your page accessible. So this means if your story is around charitable causes and really making the world a better place, don't use technical jargon or super formal language. In the same vein, make sure paragraphs are no more than three or four lines. You don't want to put people off with the wrong tone, but you also don't want to put people off with huge, boring chunks of text.
You have the opportunity to put your short description under your product video and your key selling points under that. Really prioritise here and focus on what makes your idea different, worth investing in or worth writing about. These top sections really count as so few people tend to scroll down to find out more if they're not tantalised from the get-go. Really hone this section.
Break everything up with images or initial sketches of your product or service. You can also use infographics as a way to explain long or complicated ideas without relying on hefty blocks of text. If it feels right you can also put an image of you and the team on there, so people can see who they're giving their cash to.
If you've got the budget don't be shy to really invest in good quality words, images and videos. If people see you've put money into your offering they're more likely to put money into you and your idea.
Offer Tantalising Rewards

Rewards are a big part of any crowdfunding campaign. Even if you're selling a product people can eventually own or an idea people already feel passionate about, it's the smaller funding you'll garner from rewards that can really build up and make a huge difference to your final funding figure.
Think about the kind of rewards people who care about your idea would like to own, consider how they fit into the big picture of your story and most importantly, make sure you're going to have enough of them and be able to deliver them, too.
When you're communicating the rewards, make it easy to understand what your backers will actually get. If you're writing more than five or six lines to explain, you should probably take them back to the drawing board. Simplicity here is paramount.
Have Fun and Let Your Personality Shine
It's important you have fun with the process; that you stay true to your ideas and dreams and that you speak, write and communicate with passion and personality. Sure that may sound a little cheesy and like it should be on a Pinterest tile, but the more authentic you are with everything you do the more that'll come across to the public. More authenticity, passion and belief in your idea will translate into more conversations about you, more press coverage and more funding in the long-run.

While the new all-time high production shows American drillers pulled ahead of Saudi Arabia to briefly become the world's second biggest producer, the United States may have slipped back into third place in December. The first monthly reading for December shows U.S. output slid back to 9.949 million barrels.
Saudi Arabia pumped just under 10 million barrels a day in December, according to figures from the kingdom and independent sources. The Saudis are limiting their output as part of a deal among two dozen producer nations that aims to reduce global stockpiles following a prolonged oil price slump.
Saudi Arabia was producing as much as 10.7 million barrels a day before it began turning off the taps, but U.S. drillers are on pace to produce roughly that much this year. EIA forecasts American production will average 10.6 million barrels a day in 2018.
EIA projects U.S. output will average 11.2 million barrels a day next year, positioning the nation to overthrow Russia as the world's top producer.
The slide in December was largely due to a drop in production in the Gulf of Mexico.
Surging U.S. production is being driven by booming output from America's shale fields, where drillers use advanced drilling methods to squeeze oil and gas from shale rock formations.
Texas, the biggest shale oil producing state, has seen its production jump by 780,000 barrels a day over the last year. Production also rebounded last year in other states with large shale basins, including Colorado, New Mexico, North Dakota and Oklahoma.

|Gonna miss you Sora Bird
As for the week it was fantastic. Dont really know what happened... but it was fantastic. Just calm and good. A lot of people were gone because it was the Orthodox easter celebration this week. This also means that only two people showed up to our last English class and that only our branch president showed up to church... but for some reason I still feel like calling it a fantastic week. This year I made it home with my flame lite on my candle so no worries I am good. :)
We were able to go to a pretty legit place this week. We
This next transfer I am officially in the MLS in the church. So basically I am the branch Clerk. It wont be to different from normal though. All it means is that I now put in tithing and fast offerings into the computer and also do stuff with activity budgets from time to time. It'll be fun.
This week should be full of a lot of stuff for us to do. people are returning to Craiova, it is now super warm outside and green, the branch president is setting up a service project for us, and a lot of our investigators should be more free to meet.
Sorry that is really all I can think about haha... im kinda tired. Thanks so much for your prayers and support, I love you all so mcuh!

Sex-positive movement
The sex-positive movement is a social and philosophical movement that seeks to change cultural attitudes and norms around sexuality, promoting the recognition of sexuality (in the countless forms of expression) as a natural and healthy part of the human experience and emphasizing the importance of personal sovereignty, safer sex practices, and consensual sex (free from violence or coercion). It covers every aspect of sexual identity including gender expression, orientation, relationship to the body (body-positivity, nudity, choice), relationship-style choice, and reproductive rights.[1][unreliable source?][2] Sex-positivity is "an attitude towards human sexuality that regards all consensual sexual activities as fundamentally healthy and pleasurable, encouraging sexual pleasure and experimentation."[1] The sex-positive movement also advocates for comprehensive sex education and safe sex as part of its campaign.[3][1] The movement generally makes no moral distinctions among types of sexual activities, regarding these choices as matters of personal preference.[4]
The terms and concept of sex-positive (German: sexuell positiv) (or, alternately sex-affirmative (sexuell bejahend)) and sex-negative (sexuell negativ) are generally attributed to Wilhelm Reich. His hypothesis was that some societies view sexual expression as essentially good and healthy, while others have a generally negative view of sexuality and seek to repress and control libido.[5] Other terms used to describe this concept include pro-sex, or pro-sexuality.[5][6]
The sex-positive movement does not, in general, make moral or ethical distinctions between heterosexual or homosexual sex, or masturbation, regarding these choices as matters of personal preference.[7] Other sex-positive positions include acceptance of BDSM and polyamory as well as asexuality.[7] The sex-positive movement is also concerned with the teaching of comprehensive and accurate sex education in schools.[3]
Some sex-positive theorists have analyzed sex-positivity in terms of the intersection of race/culture, gender, sexuality, class, nationality, and spirituality.[7] Because of the vastness of the sex-positivity movement, it has been challenging for people to reach an agreed upon definition of the term "sex-positivity."[7] Several definitions of sex-positivity have been offered by sexologist Carol Queen:
Sex-positive, a term that's coming into cultural awareness, isn't a dippy love-child celebration of orgone – it's a simple yet radical affirmation that we each grow our own passions on a different medium, that instead of having two or three or even half a dozen sexual orientations, we should be thinking in terms of millions. "Sex-positive" respects each of our unique sexual profiles, even as we acknowledge that some of us have been damaged by a culture that tries to eradicate sexual difference and possibility.[8]
It's the cultural philosophy that understands sexuality as a potentially positive force in one's life, and it can, of course, be contrasted with sex-negativity, which sees sex as problematic, disruptive, dangerous. Sex-positivity allows for and in fact celebrates sexual diversity, differing desires and relationships structures, and individual choices based on consent.[9]
History of the sex-positivity movement[edit]
Main articles: 1960s counterculture, Free Love and Sexual revolution
In general use, the term sexual liberation is used to describe a socio-political movement, witnessed from the 1960s into the 1970s.[10] However, the term has been used at least since the late 1920s and is often attributed as being influenced by Freud's writing on sexual liberation and psychosexual issues, as well as Wilhelm Reich, who originally coined the term.[5]
During the 1960s, a shift in the ways people thought about sexuality began to take place, heralding a period of de-conditioning in some circles away from old world antecedents, and developing new codes of sexual behavior, many of which have since been integrated into the mainstream.[11]
The 1960s also heralded a new culture of "free love" with millions of young people embracing the hippie ethos and preaching the power of love and the beauty of sex as a natural part of ordinary life. Hippies believed that sex and sexuality were natural biological phenomena which should be neither denied nor repressed. Changes in attitudes reflected a perception that traditional views on sexuality were both hypocritical and chauvinistic.
Sexual liberalization heralded a new ethos in experimenting with open sex in and outside of marriage, contraception and the pill, public nudity, gay liberation, legalized abortion, interracial marriage, a return to natural childbirth, women's rights, and feminism.
Historian David Allyn argues that the sexual revolution was a time of "coming-out": about premarital sex, masturbation, erotic fantasies, pornography use, and sexuality.[10]
The term sex-positive first came in into use in the United States in the late 1990s with the founding of the Center for Sex and Culture in San Francisco, California and The Center for Sex Positive Culture in Seattle, Washington. In 2009 Sex Positive World began in Portland, Oregon. As of 2019 there are more than sixteen chapters of the nonprofit, in five countries.
Sex-positive feminism[edit]
Sex-positive feminism, also known as pro-sex feminism, sex-radical feminism, or sexually liberal feminism, is a movement that began in the early 1980s. Some became involved in the sex-positive feminist movement in response to efforts by anti-pornography feminists, such as Catharine MacKinnon, Andrea Dworkin, Robin Morgan and Dorchen Leidholdt, to put pornography at the center of a feminist explanation of women's oppression.[12] This period of intense debate and acrimony between sex-positive and anti-pornography feminists during the early 1980s is often referred to as the "Feminist Sex Wars". Other sex-positive feminists became involved, not in opposition to other feminists, but in direct response to what they saw as patriarchal control of sexuality. Some authors who have advocated sex-positive feminism include Erika Lust, Ellen Willis, Susie Bright, Patrick Califia, Gayle Rubin, Carol Queen, Avedon Carol, Tristan Taormino, Diana Cage, Nina Hartley, and Betty Dodson.
Opposition to the sex-positive movement[edit]
In opposition, some feminists believe sex positivity as we know it does not benefit women, but makes them easier to oppress[13] (article in citation does not support claim). Some, largely religious and particularly Judeo-Islamic-Christian, conservative opposition to sex-positivity sees human sexuality[5] as a destructive force except under the contract of a marriage. Sexual acts are ranked hierarchically, with marital heterosexuality at the top of the hierarchy and masturbation, homosexuality, and other sexualities that deviate from societal expectations closer to the bottom.[14] Medicine and psychiatry are said to have also contributed to sex-negativity, as they may designate some forms of sexuality that appear on the bottom of this hierarchy as being pathological (see Mental illness).[14]
Sex-positivity in the 21st century[edit]
Since the early 2000s, the sex-positivity movement has continued to move closer into the mainstream.[2] The advent of social media has made the sex-positivity movement more accessible by giving advocates of the movement platforms to promote their beliefs to a wide audience of followers. By extending the reach of the movement, sex-positivity has come to be inclusive of all sorts of sex and sexuality.[4] Shaming has become an area of particular interest within the sex-positivity movement, encouraging people to be more open and accepting of the different experiences people have with sex and sexuality.[15] Slut-shaming, prude-shaming and kink-shaming have all been challenged by the sex-positivity movement in an effort to allow all people to feel supported by and included in the movement.[16]
Pop culture has also played a large role in bringing the sex-positivity movement into the mainstream. Celebrities, including Lady Gaga, Amber Rose, Jessica Biel, Cameron Diaz, Taylor Swift and many others, have spoken publicly about their experiences with slut-shaming, sexuality, sexual assault, body acceptance and overall sexual health and responsibility.[17][18]
In 2018, Viceland, an American television station, began airing a sex-positive series called Slutever, hosted by Karley Sciortino.[19]

Woke up feeling a little low because I read someone's comment on the forum on Gayle's website (www.devic.org.uk), "don't expect a miracle". But then I thought about it again. Life itself is a miracle and I thank God for it.

Almost fifteen years ago I began an adventure. It wasn't voluntary and it wasn't pleasant, but I choose to call it that, because I'm learning to remove negative thoughts and words from my make up. My body started to give up on me. It began with vomiting and then numbness in the limbs on one […]

Mitigating circumstances
Mitigating circumstances are normally significantly disruptive or unexpected events which are beyond a student's control but which might affect their academic performance.
In such circumstances students may wish to claim mitigation in respect of "absence from an exam or adverse circumstances affecting their performance in an exam or coursework".
What do you need to be aware of?
Students may allude to circumstances that have affected their studies when they are completing the Leeds for Life web forms, but this is not sufficient to enable these circumstances to be taken into consideration. There is a formal procedure to follow, a deadline to meet and evidence required to support such claims. If one of your students does mention adverse circumstances that appear to have affected their studies then this should act as a trigger for you to discuss the formal "mitigating circumstances" process with the student.
As the onus is on the student to make and evidence the claim for mitigation, then part of your role as a personal tutor or as a member of the Student Education Service may be to encourage the student to follow the formal process to ensure that any such circumstances are considered by the relevant school's special committee and taken into consideration at school assessment boards. However, it would not be your role to pre-empt or pre-judge the outcomes of such a committee, but to advise the student regarding the process.
Guidance notes on mitigating circumstances are available to clarify the different types of adverse events considered by the University to be mitigating circumstances and set out the mitigating circumstances process.
What do students need to do?
If a student wishes to claim mitigating circumstances, they need to complete a mitigating circumstances form and follow the formal process to ensure that any such circumstances are considered by the relevant school's special circumstances committee and taken into consideration at school assessment board meetings.
Exam papers and assessed work are marked anonymously, and final marks are agreed by a school assessment board. A special circumstances committee will consider any work which shows evidence of mitigating circumstances. If the committee decides that a student's work was affected by mitigating circumstances they may reconsider the student's degree classification.
If the student failed an exam or assignment, a special circumstances committee may allow an extra re-sit, or a first attempt re-sit.
See the student pages for more information about mitigating circumstances.
Where can students find more information?
The mitigating circumstances section of the Leeds University Union website provides students with a detailed overview of what they can do, who they need to tell and when to do this.

Praise be to Allah who made this country a land of abundant goods and decent living, and blessed it with faithful rulers and leaders who work relentlessly for the best of their people. It was the wisdom and foresightedness of its leaders and its hardworking and dedicated people that allowed Dubai to reach this advanced level of development and progress that far exceeds the progress of other countries. This superiority was a normal result of strenuous efforts, tireless hard work, holistic planning and continuous improvement under a wise and conscious leadership that devoted itself to providing all the chances for the advancement of the emirate by establishing of professional and specialized departments and institutions that work as one team in order to achieve its goal.
This dedication opened doors for the emirate to reach the unprecedented levels of success and maintain a well-deserved leading position. The journey began at a fast pace and with confident steps by the late Ruler of Dubai Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum who established the Government of Dubai Land Department (LD) on 23 January 1960. The LD heralded the birth of the most important real estate market in the Middle East and perhaps the world.
A well-planned program was drawn then for LD, which was ahead of its time and promised a bright real estate future. After fifty years of work under the umbrella of the Land Department and the succession of generations, the descendants of the first generation who worked hard for the advancement of this country by conquering challenge after challenge, continue to build an integrated system for LD to serve the emirate and its development projects and keep pace with growing needs and the demands of its people.
The development has become inherent in all our transactions and services as LD successfully registers all transaction and deals in the emirate by adopting a constant development approach for all its services.
The Dubai Land Department's mission surpassed regular registration and issuance of title deeds to offering a comprehensive experience for its customers. It now bears the full responsibility for the registration of transfers of ownership and responsibility to develop the necessary legislation on a large scale to ensure the organization of Dubai real estate market and regulate it along with catalyzing the investment drive.
The Dubai Land Department also takes the role of spreading real estate knowledge and promoting the culture of conducting sound business to the highest internationally-recognizedSheikh Mohammed bin Khalifa Al Maktoum

Week 11 Record: 10-4
Correct: Carolina, Pittsburgh, Dallas, Detroit, New York, Miami, New England, Seattle, Washington, Oakland
Incorrect: Tennessee, Cincinnati, Kansas City, Arizona
Overall Record: 101-58-2
Week 12 picks:
(* Will be starting 3-0 after correctly picking Detroit, Dallas, and Pittsburgh to win on Thanksgiving)
Bengals 13, Ravens 17
It's hard to see my Bengals moving the ball against this stout Ravens' defense without AJ Green and Giovani Bernard on offense. Cincinnati rides a five-game winning streak against Baltimore heading into this matchup, but injuries to play makers will limit Andy Dalton's ability to stretch the field while the Ravens key in on stopping Jeremy Hill. Baltimore wins a close, low-scoring affair.
Rams 14, Saints 27
Always go with Drew Brees at home. The Saints are coming off back-to-back close losses to Denver and Carolina, respectively, but draw a favorable straw when the Rams — led by rookie Jared Goff — come to Louisiana this Sunday. In his first outing, Goff failed to make the play late in the game to preserve a 10-point lead as the Dolphins fought back to win late. He struggles in his first road start and the Saints get to 5-6 to keep their head above water in the NFC South.
Cardinals 26, Falcons 29
Arizona's season may have ended with a six-point loss to Minnesota last week and it doesn't help they have to go to Atlanta on Sunday. Carson Palmer is what he is; a high-risk, high-reward quarterback that costs the Cardinals last week with a crucial red zone interception that was returned 100 yards for a touchdown by Xavier Rhodes. The Falcons are desperate for a win and they get back on track with a home victory against the struggling Cardinals.
49ers 14, Dolphins 26
This is a dream matchup for Jay Ajayi. Miami's running back is an emerging star in the NFL and should have his way against one of the worst run defenses in the NFL. A few key pieces to the Dolphins' defense will play in this game and will have a field day at home getting after Colin Kaepernick, who seems to have his mind on other things instead of football. The Niners drop their 10th straight game and the seat gets hotter for coach Chip Kelly.
Jaguars 9, Bills 17
Buffalo's defense pitched a second-half shutout in a big road win over Cincinnati last week and will have plenty of chances for takeaways against the always-struggling Blake Bortles. The Jaguars, a team many thought would contend in the AFC South, will drop to 2-9 as the Bills keep their wild card hopes alive.
Titans 20, Bears 13
Matt Barkley gets the start in the Windy City with Brian Hoyer and Jay Cutler sidelined. It's been one of those years for the Bears where they can't seem to catch a break. Chicago's defense will keep this game close, but the Titans hold on by a touchdown.
Giants 27, Browns 13
Hue Jackson continues his hard-knock-life season as head coach of the Cleveland Browns. The surging Giants (7-3) remain two games back of Dallas for the top spot in the NFC East with a lopsided defeat over the winless Browns.
Chargers 25, Texans 24
Houston is perfect at home this season (5-0), but that ends on Sunday when the Chargers come to town. Phillip Rivers and Melvin Gordon make more plays than Brock Osweiler and Lamar Miller and San Diego pulls off the win with a late field goal.
Seahawks 23, Buccaneers 14
Tampa Bay is red hot after a huge win at Arrowhead last week, but Seattle is even hotter. Russell Wilson is playing good football (as he usually does in the second half of the season) and is coming off big victories over New England and Philadelphia. Look for Thomas Rawls to have a great game after CJ Prosise went down last week.
Patriots 34, Jets 17
This was a great game last season, but not so much in 2016. The Patriots will get Rob Gronkowski back this week and he, along with Tom Brady, will have a big day against a Jets' defense that is good against the run but sub-par versus the pass. Ryan Fitzpatrick throws a pair of picks against a New England defense that usually has trouble actually catching the ball.
Panthers 21, Raiders 27
Derek Carr and the Cooper-Crabtree receiving tandem gets it done once again for the division-leading Raiders. This game could be high-scoring with these defenses on the field, but the loss of Luke Kuechly looms large for Carolina and Oakland rolls to 9-2.
Chiefs 10, Broncos 17
The Chiefs have some injuries while Denver is back to full strength on defense. The game was flexed to prime time, and Denver tends to play well under the lights at Mile High. If you like defensive football, this game is for you.
Packers 20, Eagles 30
The Packers are reeling and it showed last Sunday when they were shredded by the Redskins in our Nation's Capital. Despite a great performance by Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay cannot seem to stop anyone on defense and the Eagles will have the home-field advantage backing them in this game. Philadelphia gets the win and keeps the NFC East crowded in terms of wild-card contention.

What is negligence?
In situations where one person owes another a duty of care, negligence is doing, or failing to do something that a reasonable person would, or would not, do and which causes another person damage, injury or loss as a result.
In South Australia the Civil Liability Act 1936 (SA) is used to assess the negligence of individuals and the liability they face as a result of any negligent acts on their part.
If a person sues another in negligence, the person is seeking financial compensation for damage. They are seeking to be put in the position they would have been in if the negligence had not occurred. Common situations where negligence may be alleged include car accidents where there is property damage or personal injury, accidents on private or public land, and professional negligence such as medical negligence.
How is negligence determined?
Whether or not negligence has occurred is a matter of satisfying four questions.
All these factors must be satisfied. If even one is not satisfied then the applicant will not be able to establish that the respondent was negligent.
What is a duty of care?
A duty of care is a legal obligation to avoid causing harm and arises where harm is 'reasonably foreseeable' if care is not taken. There must be a sufficient relationship of closeness (sometimes referred to as 'proximity') between the two people in order for a duty of care to exist. An example of such a relationship would be a doctor and patient relationship or the relationship between drivers and other road users.
Under the Civil Liability Act 1936 there are some qualifications on the duty of care such as, for example, 'good Samaritans' and food donors. People acting in an emergency situation without expectation of payment or providing food for a charitable purpose are generally exempt from civil liability, providing they did not act recklessly.
When is a duty of care breached?
In order to establish whether a duty of care has been breached the court will look first of all at the standard of care that is expected in the circumstances.
The standard of care is determined by looking at what a reasonable person would have done (or not done) in the same circumstances. Where a respondent has acted in an unreasonable way or their actions fell well below the standard expected they will be found to have breached their duty of care.
The most common examples are those that apply to everyday activities such as driving. All road users (including pedestrians) are expected to behave according to what is reasonable.
Examples of failure to meet a standard of care:
Determining whether a breach of duty of care caused an injury
In some cases it will be obvious what has caused the injury. For example, if a person slips on a wet floor and breaks their arm, then there is a clear connection between the wet floor and the injury suffered (the broken arm).
However, in many cases the cause of an injury may be more complex. There may be more than one event that could have caused the injury. For example, where a person slips on a wet floor and injures their arm, but earlier that morning they had injured the same arm in a fall from their bicycle, there will be questions about whether one event or both caused the injury and to what extent.
Contributory negligence
Contributory negligence occurs when the injured person themselves is found to have contributed to the cause of their loss or injury. If an applicant has failed to take reasonable care for their own safety or loss then they will be found contributorily negligent. The amount of damages they can claim will be reduced according to the extent they are found to have contributed to the loss.
Some examples of contributory negligence are:
Vicarious liability
Vicarious liability occurs where one person is held liable for the negligent actions of another. It is commonly relied upon for negligence on the part of employees carrying out their duties. In most cases the employer will be vicariously liable for the employee's negligence.
Is a claim worthwhile?
Legal advice is necessary to determine:
Time limits
When making a claim for damages arising from personal injury there is a time limit of 3 years - documents must be filed at least 90 days before the time limit expires so in practical terms any application must be made within 2 years and 9 months.
Under rule 61.6 of the Uniform Civil Rules 2020, a person who intends on commencing a personal injury claim in Court (the applicant), must within 6 months after the day on which the incident occurred, serve on the person potentially liable (the respondent) a written early notice of injury.
When making a claim for damages arising from property damage or economic loss there is a time limit of 6 years - documents must be filed at least 90 days before the time limit expires so in practical terms any application must be made within 5 years and 9 months.
Under the Civil Liability Act 1936 (SA) an apology made by or on behalf of a person in connection with any matter alleged to have been caused by the person -
Evidence of an apology is not admissible in any civil proceedings as evidence of the fault or liability of the person in connection with that matter [s 74(2)]. However this does not apply to some civil proceedings (defamation cases and cases excluded by regulation) [s74(3)].
apology means an expression of sympathy or regret, or of a general sense of benevolence or compassion, in connection with any matter, whether or not the apology admits or implies an admission of fault in connection with the matter.
Please note that new Uniform Civil Court Rules 2020 commenced on 18 May 2020 for most civil legal proceedings in the Magistrates, District and Supreme Courts of South Australia. The new Rules govern the procedure for personal injury claims, including negligence.
A child is generally responsible (liable) for the consequences of his or her wrongful acts. However, the degree of reasonable care required of a child depends on the age of the child and the standard of care normally expected of a child of that age.
To some extent the rules applying to children are different from those for adults who commit wrongful acts, especially where a person's state of mind is an essential consideration. A young child may be aware of what he or she is doing, and even know that the action is wrong, but still be incapable of foreseeing its consequences and will therefore not have acted negligently.
For example, in McHale v Watson (1966) 115 CLR 199, a 12 year old boy threw a metal dart at a post but the dart glanced off the post and hit a nine year old girl in the eye. The boy was found not to be negligent because a boy of 12 years could not be expected to foresee that the dart might not stick into the post and could go off at a tangent and hit someone.
The capacity of a child must be considered and decided in each case. Obviously, the closer a child is to adulthood, the more the standard of care will resemble that required of an adult. A child who engages in an adult activity such as driving a car or handling a gun may be expected to meet the standard of care applicable to an adult.
Parental liability
Normally parents are not liable for wrongs committed by their children. However, they may be liable for a wrong committed if:
For example, in McHale v Watson (described above), the boy's father was not found to be liable, even though he had provided the boy with the dart. The court found that it was not negligent to allow a boy of 12 to have the item in question (i.e. a dart) and that the eventual misuse of the dart was not reasonably foreseeable as far as the father was concerned. This result would have been different if the child had been younger or if the father had provided the child with a gun. If a parent knows their child is prone to behave in a way which could endanger others, then the parent may have some degree of liability.
Schools are required to take such measures as are reasonable to prevent physical injury to a pupil. The duty of care owed by a school to a student goes beyond the duty of parents to their children. This duty exists at all times when the child is under the control of the school and even beyond the school grounds in some cases. A school's responsibility is sometimes very great, such as during school excursions. In each case, the likelihood of risk to the students should be assessed and adequate precautions taken. Generally a school would not be liable for an injury to a student as long as there was adequate supervision, the dangers were understood and anticipated and reasonable precautions were taken.
To have a case against a school, an injured student must be able to prove:
Supervision must be adequate at all times when a child is under the control of the school, not only during classroom activities but at other times such as before and after school, during breaks, and school excursions.
Schools are not required to have a teacher observe and supervise every incident in the school yard, or even in the classroom. A court would look at the number of students in the area; the foreseeable risk to students; the number of teachers assigned to oversee the activities of those students and their diligence in supervising the area.

At first glance, Izy Dining and Bar might strike you more as a drinking joint than a restaurant that serves proper Japanese food. But do not be thwarted by the long bar counter that takes up practically the entire front section of the restaurant, there's good food to be had if you venture forth. Food that will not only please the taste-buds but also the eyes. And if you venture further in literally, you will reach the table seating area, which in my opinion is more comfortable for consuming lunch and dinner.
On the menu are the usual suspects for any Japanese restaurant such as sashimi, sushi, rolls and cooked dishes. However it's the little touches here and there, and the creative use of ingredients that really set Izy Dining apart from the usual Japanese restaurants you find in malls. Everything just looks so delicious!
The piece de la resistance for Izy Dining and Bar has go to be this.
Japanese Nokke Roll (Uni, Ikura, Crab, Negitoro, Veg) $45
If this doesn't catch your eye, I don't know what will. Basically all the Japanese dream ingredients presented on one dish. It will disappear into the stomach all too quickly, so my only advice is to savour it slowly! It's a must order if you love all these ingredients!
Mango Salsa Roll (Tempura shrimp, raw salmon & avocado topped with mango salsa sauce) $18

Sure you can come close and you might even happen to be on the same word when you turn the radio back on. However, the chances of staying on beat and pitch without cues from the radio are pretty slim.
That feeling of trying so hard to stay on beat, but not having the cues needed to do it, is exactly how I feel with my Crohns. It feels as if everyone can hear the music of their life are able to sing along. But for me, I feel as if I know the song I'm supposed to sing and I know the beat and melody, but I can't quite hear the music. So instead of being able to sing along, by the end of each day, I am exhausted with not much to show for it.
Although I can't speak for others, I assume anyone living with an illness feels this way much of the time. It is a frustrating way to live, but as with most things in life, we adapt. Over time we learn when certain words fall on specific counts and we become pretty good at faking our way through it. However, chances of us singing along perfectly are still slim.
To the outside world, our song sounds just fine and when you look around, you think everyone else's song sounds right too. But looking at things objectively, everyone has had periods in their life when they can't hear their music. Some people have learned their song so well that even when their music disappears during a trial, they are almost perfectly in sync. On the other hand, other had become so accustom to having their music playing that when their music disappers they are left lost without it.
Maybe we aren't supposed to always hear the music and the times without it are when we find out most about ourselves. But keep in mind, that just because you can hear your music, doesn't mean everyone else can. Because my song my look well rehearsed, but in reality, I'm flying blind in my not so normal life.

Himes faces growing field of challengers
A Republican reclamation project in Connecticut's 4th Congressional District, which the GOP controlled for 40 years before the seat went Democratic in the last two elections, is expanding the field of would-be challengers to U.S. Rep. Jim Himes, D-Greenwich.
"It's a Republican seat and we aim to take it back," said Jerry Labriola Jr., the state's GOP chairman.
Himes took a dig at Labriola's comment via Twitter Wednesday.
"Head of CT Repubs called the seat I hold `a Republican seat.' Sorry, Jerry, belongs to all my many constituents, not me or you," Himes wrote.
Labriola noted that the 2012 race is drawing substantial interest in the 17-municipality district, which encompasses most of Fairfield County and a sliver of New Haven County.
Two newcomers Republicans may want to acquaint themselves with are David Orner and Steve Obsitnik, who have been making the rounds at GOP events in the district.
Both share a background in the Navy, with Orner serving as an intelligence officer during Operation Desert Storm and Operation Desert Shield in the Persian Gulf, and Obsitnik serving as a lieutenant after graduating from the U.S. Naval Academy.
Orner is an executive with CIT Group in Norwalk, a bank holding company that provides capital to businesses. His specialty is the aerospace and defense sector. He is a graduate of the University of Tampa and holds a J.D. from Rutgers School of Law and a master's degree in law from New York University.
The 45-year-old Darien resident confirmed that he and his family are giving the race strong consideration during an interview Monday with Greenwich Time.
"There's a strong sense that the country is moving in the wrong direction on a number of issues," Orner said. "We need to get somebody to Washington who's in synch with the concerns of Connecticut citizens."
Obsitnik is chairman and chief executive of Quintel Technology, a wireless consulting company based in Mountain View, Calif. He is also an adjunct professor of entrepreneurship at Sacred Heart University in Fairield. The 44-year-old Westport resident, who also holds an MBA from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, declined to comment on his political plans, but Labriola has confirmed both Obsitnik and Orner have engaged him in conversations about the race.
"They're both successful businessmen and veterans of military service, and each, I believe, would make very good candidates for Congress in the 4th District," Labriola said. "I expect other credible candidates may emerge in the upcoming weeks, but as of now, the only firm commitments that I have received are from Dave and Steve."
Another name that has been bandied about is that of Stamford Republican Chris Meek, who, like Himes, has a Goldman Sachs pedigree. Meek is a trader of equity derivatives for the financial services giant, where Himes worked as an investment banker before becoming an affordable housing executive.
Labriola also wouldn't be surprised if former State Sen. Dan Debicella, R-Shelton, who lost the 2010 election to Himes 53 to 47 percent, tried a comeback.
"I've had numerous discussions with Dan," Labriola said. "To my knowledge, he has not closed the door to making another bid. He would be a tremendous candidate if he so chose to run."
A spokeswoman for Himes, who defeated 21-year GOP incumbent Christopher Shays in 2008, had no comment about the race.
