NAACP Rips Black Senator; Says Scott Doesn't 'Believe in Civil Rights'
The president of the nation's largest civil rights organization said newly appointed Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) does not believe in civil rights and went on to criticize the GOP for alienating moderate Republicans who support their positions.
Benjamin Jealous, the NAACP's national president appeared on CNN Wednesday night. When asked if he was critical of Scott because of his party affiliation, he said it was primarily the senator's record on civil rights.
"No, look we have Republicans who believe in civil rights. Unfortunately, he is not one of them," said Jealous. "And unfortunately, his party has really gone after so-called 'RINOS' as they call them, these Republicans who believe in civil rights again and again."
The NAACP leader focused on Scott's "F" rating during his tenure in the House, comparing him to white congressman who routinely receive high marks on the organization's report card.
"You know, for us it's always about what's in folks' hearts," Jealous said. "We have people like Congressman Cohen out of Memphis, white congressman, who gets an 'A' on our report card, and we have congressman like Senator Tim Scott, who is black, gets an 'F' on the report card every year … But when I look at him, I say quite frankly as one of my old coaches would say about me at a sport I wasn't so good at, he has nothing but potential. There is nothing but room for him to improve, and we would hope that he would not continue to get F's on the NAACP report card."
But Chad Connelly, chairman of the South Carolina Republican Party, was taken aback by Jealous' comment and said anyone that truly knew Tim Scott would never make such a statement.
"I think it's sad that an organization that labels itself as the nation's premier civil rights organization would attack a man of Tim Scott's character," Connelly told The Christian Post.
"Sen. Scott's appointment to the United States Senate is an unprecedented, historic event and we should all take pride in his service. It simply amazes me that such irresponsible comments would be made simply because Sen. Scott has upheld the values of his district and now his state. Tim's an upstanding Christian man and anyone of any race or background should be honored he is their public servant."
An article on Breitbart.com makes the case that the NAACP's report card has little to do with civil rights, and focuses mainly on measuring policies advocated by the Democratic Party.
Examples of some key votes include enforcement of union-backed Davis-Bacon provisions mandating only union labor be used on federal construction contracts, repealing funding of health care reform, cutting funding for Planned Parenthood, voting against a balanced budget amendment and voting for certain Democrat nominees for cabinet level offices.
South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley (R) appointed Scott to replace Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.), who resigned to accept a position with The Heritage Foundation.
Interestingly, both Scott and Haley – who is the state's first Indian-American governor, are considered to be people of "color." Scott is black and Haley is Indian.
This wasn't the first time the civil rights organization has spoken out against Scott. Soon after he was appointed, Hilary Shelton, NAACP senior vice president for advocacy and policy, told The Daily Caller he expected the South Carolina politician to work against the group.
"Mr. Scott certainly comes from a modest background, experience, and so forth, and should be sensitive to those issues," said Shelton, referring to Scott's impoverished single-parent upbringing in Charleston, S.C. "Unfortunately, his voting record in the U.S. House of Representatives raises major concerns."
Connelly also disagrees with Shelton's assessment and believes Scott will easily win re-election to a full Senate term. "I'll put Tim Scott's background, experience and character up against anyone. We're proud of the job he is doing and look forward to his service to our state."

A big day in the Celtic Village
1 August 2009,
Festival of British Archaeology 2009
This weekend is the grand finale of the Festival events, and it started dreadfully. Torrential rain all night and no let-up until eleven o'clock, but much happened before then.
First thing in the morning The Vicus, anamazing Iron Age / Roman re-enactment group, arrived in force and took over our Celtic Village and the grounds around it. Our wood shelter became an armoury, the roundhouses were taken over for cooking and crafts, and outside the village our old furnace was fired up and used to smelt iron ore.
Things really got under way once the rain had cleared and the ground started to dry. Then it was a continuous stream of visitors for the rest of the day.
For me the highlights were:
- the trimmed down combat display where the Vicus's British warriors and Roman soldiers showed off their equipment and demonstrated the various merits of a range of spears. It was a trimmed down display because the rain had left things too wet underfoot for full-scale combat. But the forecast is good for the rest of the weekend, so tomorrow's performance should be the full extravaganza.
- watching the bloom come out of the furnace around 4:30. The Vicus's blacksmith has yet to pass judgement on the results, but they certainly looked pretty good. And when one considers that things only really got started around midday they seemed almost miraculous.
So tomorrow is the big one. In the Celtic Village we have a repeat of all of the above (with bronze casting substituted for iron smelting), and the festival will be brought to a show-stopping conclusion with a reenactment of a Roman cremation cemetery. Fingers crossed the weather stays with us.

I don't often write personal posts, but today I uncovered a cache of photos from my past, and I have to share this story with you.
Here I am as a toddler, my hand mysteriously extended in mid air.
On the back of the photo, my mother wrote: Beth holding hands with "Jenny Wren" her important imaginary friend! We lived in Milton, Mass. and I was the first born. According to my mother, I insisted on this portrait of myself and Jenny Wren. At the ripe old age of three, with my baby sister maybe six months old, I can imagine I felt the need for a someone who I could really talk to about losing my mother's attention, someone who listened, someone to hold hands with when I felt scared.
And there were lots of things to be scared about. The world was changing everywhere you looked — civil rights, women's lib, Vietnam. I remember the nightly news reports with strange names that I whispered to Jenny because I liked how they rolled off my tongue: Ho Chi Minh … My Lai… I remember running naked through the sprinkler until I heard news about the arrests of streakers which scared me into a bathing suit. I remember the Great Dane next door, especially after our paper girl arrived on the doorstep with her thigh ripped open from his giant teeth. Yes, there was plenty of scary stuff back then.
Little could I imagine that 25 years later, I would meet my friend Jenny, and she would become a real-life Jenny Wren for me. I kind of think I was preparing for her here in this photo, making room in my growing brain for a friend so loyal that she would do anything for me (and visa versa).
The real-life Jenny Wren and I found each other in Los Angeles in the 1990's, discovered that we were both from Massachusetts, and recalled that we had once met through the odd world of high school speech team. We found ourselves thousands of miles from the cobbled lanes of old Boston, wandering among the sushi bars, nail salons, parking lots and palm trees of Hollywood. Should it surprise you that we clung to each other like Mork and Mindy?
Everyone should have a friend like my Jenny Wren. She is warm, caring, kind and a great listener. You can count on her to tell it to you straight. She will support you to the ends of the earth with her spirited laugh and wide smile. Imaginative, talented, a great storyteller — my Jenny Wren is so great, she became a successful film writer and director. She is everything that little girl in the top photo dreamed of in the perfect friend.
Jenny Wren and I have some pretty great plans about growing old together (after our husbands are gone — it happens, you have to plan!) We will make sure to have plenty of younger friends, so we keep in touch with pop culture. I will teach her to knit, she will teach me charades. We will buy audiobooks when our eyes fail. She is a killer poker player, so we will go on the pro circuit — she will play and I will handle her marketing. Granny Jenny? That is ratings gold! We will eat out, laugh plenty and always hold hands in icy weather.
In case you are wondering what the real Jenny Wren looks like, here is the photo also discovered today that inspired this post. It's the day before my wedding, back when Jenny was my "new" friend. She looks older than she did when we were three, but that is to be expected when you move from imaginary to real.
The real Jenny Wren is now traveling the world with her husband and two kids (you can learn more about her amazing journey on her blog AYeartoThink.com). While we are miles apart, and in different time zones, she is always in my heart. In fact, if I miss her, I can reach out my hand and feel hers right there, warm and calm, squeezing me back.
Just like when I was three.

(AP) NEW YORK Adam Yauch, the gravelly voiced Beastie Boys rapper who co-founded the seminal hip-hop group, has died at age 47.
Yauch's representatives confirmed that the rapper died Friday morning in New York after a nearly three-year battle with cancer.
Also known as MCA, Yauch was diagnosed with a cancerous salivary gland in 2009. He had undergone surgery and radiation.
At the time, Yauch expressed hope it was ``very treatable,'' but his illness caused the group to cancel shows and delayed the release of its 2011 album, ``Hot Sauce Committee, Pt. 2.''
The Brooklyn-born Yauch created the Beastie Boys with high school friend Michael ``Mike D'' Diamond. Originally conceived as a hardcore punk group, it became a hip-hop trio after Adam ``Ad-Rock'' Horovitz joined.

"The function of what I call design science is to solve problems by introducing into the environment new artifacts, the availability of which will induce their spontaneous employment by humans and thus, coincidentally, cause humans to abandon their previous problem-producing behaviors and devices. For example, when humans have a vital need to cross the roaring rapids of a river, as a design scientist I would design them a bridge, causing them, I am sure, to abandon spontaneously and forever the risking of their lives by trying to swim to the other shore."
- R. Buckminster Fuller, from Cosmography
Design Science is a problem solving approach which entails a rigorous, systematic study of the deliberate ordering of the components in our Universe. Fuller believed that this study needs to be comprehensive in order to gain a global perspective when pursuing solutions to problems humanity is facing.

Writing Competition
Since 2005, the College has sponsored a writing competition for law students, to encourage them to learn about employee benefits. Papers may be on any topic in the employee benefits field. Up to two monetary prizes are offered, one funded by Susan Serota, in honor of her father, Sidney M. Perlstadt, an Emeritus Fellow, and the other funded by the College for 2016 by Dianne Bennett, in honor of Al (Alvin D.) Lurie, an Emeritus Fellow. Winners also receive an employee benefits treatise published by BNA Books. If deemed suitable by the editors, one or more of the winning papers may be published by the BNA Pension and Benefits Reporter or in the BNA Tax Management Compensation Planning Journal.
The College's writing contest award winners are selected each year by the ACEBC Writing Contest Committee from among eligible submissions. Submissions have been received from a wide variety of law schools from across the nation.
Each year the eligible submissions are circulated among a group of initial reviewers consisting of ACEBC Writing Committee members and other ACEBC Fellows who volunteer to perform that task. Each initial reviewer provides his or her evaluation on the papers on score sheets based upon the factors identified in the contest rules. Those factors are as follows: (i) Analysis (i.e., depth and creativity of legal analysis); (ii) Research (i.e., thoroughness of legal research); (iii) Writing (i.e., organization/writing style); (iv) Difficulty (i.e., difficulty of subject matter); (v) Policy (i.e., consideration of policy implications); (vi) Other factors; and (vii) Overall impression.
Three to five finalists are selected based on the committee's evaluation of the initial reviewer's comments. All of the papers selected as finalists are reviewed by the entire committee. Each committee member submits a score sheet ranking the finalist's submission according to the same factors described above. The Chair compiles a composite score sheet showing the rankings of all committee members. This composite score sheet forms the basis for the committee's final deliberations.
Before notifying the winners, a committee member is selected to perform a rigorous check of the citations contained in the winning papers. Once the papers clear this cite check, the committee reports its recommendations to the Board of Governors for final approval of the awards. No one involved in the process other than the committee's chair is informed of the identity of the student author of any paper or of the author's law school until the committee completes its deliberations.
The writing competition has been successful in many ways but one measure is that several of the competitors have gone on to practice employee benefit law after their graduation from law school.
Submission Deadline:
June 3, 2019
Contact Info:

The Reserve Bank of Australia issued a clutch of documents on Thursday under the Freedom of Information Act in which it gave its opinion on everything from which of the world's central banks are holders of the Australian currency to whether the Aussie dollar is overvalued.
According to the RBA, neither the Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank, the Bank of Japan, the Bank of England nor the Bank of Canada have Australian dollars (or in other words, Australian sovereign bonds) in their vaults.
The RBA said it was their "best guess" that none of the above monetary authorities – as well as another 16 central to boot – hold the Australian currency, though they cautioned that "timely, reliable information is quite difficult to come by."
At the same time, the RBA said another 16 central banks have publicly reported that they hold Australian dollars, while a further 18 "appear to hold Australian dollars."
In the RBA's Australian-dollar-holder category were the monetary authorities of Hong Kong, Switzerland, Brazil, the Russian Federation and Sweden. In the "maybe" category were those of China, France, Germany, India and Indonesia. The "unknowns" included Greece, Bulgaria, Portugal, Spain and Egypt.
But the RBA shied away from any definitive statements on who holds its currency now, warning that "any recent changes in reserve composition will not be reflected," given that the data were collected from central-bank annual reports, "in most cases for 2011."
Foreign central banks were believed to be buying the Australian dollar for its yield, as the interest rates on the Australian debt that the central banks would hold are often much higher than those of many other countries.
In another document, dated August, the RBA released its opinion on whether the Australian dollar is overvalued.
The RBA's view: "Currently, the high Australian dollar is probably a bit above the level justified by fundamentals, given the recent decline in the terms of trade and deterioration in the global economic outlook. However, it is not clear that the Australian dollar is substantially overvalued."
"Most models that we tend to focus on suggest the Australian dollar could be 4%-15% overvalued," the central bank concluded.
In December, a letter from an unnamed RBA senior analyst had said the Australian currency was overvalued by around 7%, using the bank's own preferred models.
The newly released documents also touched on the question of whether intervention in the foreign-exchange markets was an appropriate action to bring down the Aussie's value.
The RBA issued a document last August comparing Australia's situation to that of Switzerland – which last year did intervene to halt a sharp appreciation in its currency.
The situation between the two countries "cannot yet be considered comparable. There is not strong evidence that the Australian dollar is posing an imminent threat of devaluation or is highly contractionary for the domestic economy," the RBA said at the time.
"The Australian economy is less exposed to external developments (particularly in Europe) than the Swiss economy," the RBA said.
The Australian dollar traded at $1.0278 on Thursday afternoon, up from $1.0235 in late North American trading on Wednesday.
It has mostly traded above parity with the U.S. dollar since late 2010, though it has occasionally dipped below the $1 mark, doing so as recently as last summer. Prior to 2010, however, one Australian dollar was reliably worth less than its U.S. counterpart, even dipping below the 50-U.S.-cent mark for a brief time in 2001.

Welcome to the CRG Discussion Forum!Forum registration problems: Make sure you enter your email correctly and you check your spam box first. *Then* email KurtS2@gmail for help.Classified ads are not allowed on the forum.
This is just my opinion, but I find that even though the new forum is just as informative...it is more complex and not as easy and fun to view. Not that I am incapable of maneuvering through it...it is just that is seems like work now and not as enjoyable. Now I have to select each topic individually and go in and out of windows and move around the site alot just to get the same information. I find that most of us 67-69 Camaro guys like things simple. (Not speaking for all of us Camaro owners, just something I have observed in my small world.) I used to check in every day to see what is going on and now I find myself coming here maybe once a week. Viewing and responding to subjects has become more of a task then simplistic method of the old setup. I liked seeing everything at once and clicking and viewing each subject and following the threads I thought interesting. It's not that easy anymore. And since I am not checking in as often, I can only assume others are not as well which is why there is now less topics and responses to view and less people coming in...kind of like a self fulfilling prophecy. Maybe it is just me and I am resisting change. I really hate to see anything that is successful get changed...after all...if it ain't broke, don't fix it (unless its an old Camaro and you're bored). Anyway...I agree that there seems to be less activity, which is sad...hopefully things will pick up and this is just a growing pain of the new forum.

From time to time a publisher will send a book that is a sheer delight. The characters will be well and truly drawn, the plot will be intriguing and the writing will carry the reader along at a fast and interesting pace. This was not one of those times.
�Never Tell� by Alafair Burke, Harper, 348 pp, not priced.
From time to time a publisher will send a book that is a sheer delight. The characters will be well and truly drawn, the plot will be intriguing and the writing will carry the reader along at a fast and interesting pace. This was not one of those times.
The plot of this story is rather complex and I found myself lost along the way. Ellie Hatcher, the main character, is a New York Police Department homicide detective. She and her partner/lover are called to an upscale New York City apartment. In the bath tub is a lovely young high schooler with her wrist slit. All the indications are death by suicide. The two detectives tell the parents this death is not a murder but has all the marks of someone who just could not go on and decided to end it then and there.
Well, the parents will have none of this. They are certain this young girl has been murdered. Somewhere along the line the detectives begin to have doubts about their first impressions and return to the crime scene for further investigation.
The wealthy father of the dead girl, with more money than brains, decides that two of the girl�s friends can help and gives each of them ten thousand dollars to nose around and come up with a name that might be the killer, or at least develop a lead. And of course the two pocket the money and go out on a spree and obviously don�t get anywhere.
Another girl by the name of Casey is also questioned. Several pages are devoted to Casey�s problems. It is revealed that while Casey is a girl she wants to be a boy and wants everyone to treat her as if she is a boy.
Well the detectives are sent back to the crime scene to do more detecting and eventually determine that yes, it is a case of murder and not of suicide.
At about this point I began to have trouble with the plot. I would read a few pages and then wonder what it all meant.
I am aware that Alafair Burke has written several books and apparently is quite successful but I did not find her writing to my taste. I�m sure others will read her work avidly but I will not be of their number.
Also read �The Fame Thief� by Timothy Hallinan. Well that statement is not quite true. I started this novel and about halfway through and I stopped. I haven�t picked it up again. The main character is Junior Bender and he is off on a job to investigate the wrong done to an actress some sixty years ago. It was difficult to believe in the characters. All of them seemed a bit overdone. The crime chief who starts the investigation, the actress who has been wronged, an entire slew of other people who do not seem to have any roots in reality, all are a bit too much.
I hope to find a better book for my next report.
If you would like an oldie goldie with a really surprise ending read �Dead in the Water� by Stuart Woods. Published in 1997 this legal battle on a tropical isle will grip your interest until the very end. I wondered why I didn�t suspect the ending but I had no idea the last chapter would turn everything upside down. Great book.

WASHINGTON — The U.S. government and French bank BNP Paribas are close to a settlement over alleged sanctions violations that would require the bank to plead guilty, pay almost $9 billion in penalties and face other sanctions, a person familiar with the matter said Monday.
The person described the deal as imminent, but said it was not exactly clear when it would be publicly announced. The person spoke only on condition of anonymity because no agreement had yet been finalized.
BNP Paribas, SA, France's largest bank, has been under investigation for financial transactions through its New York office for clients in Iran, Sudan and Cuba in violation of U.S. trade sanctions. A report by the Wall Street Journal said the bank intentionally hid $30 billion in such transactions, by far more than in any such case so far.
The French economy minister, meanwhile, urged the U.S. Department of Justice to be "fair and proportionate" when deciding on the potential fine. Arnaud Montebourg, speaking on BFM television Monday, said the U.S. has an unfair advantage in the global "economic war" because of a law allowing prosecution of foreign companies for activities outside American soil.
France appealed this month to President Barack Obama to intervene, but Obama declined to get involved and said he would read about the case "in the newspapers just like everybody else."
Meanwhile, the bank said this month that a top executive, Chief Operating Officer Georges Chodron de Courcel, would retire in September. His term was to finish in 2016 and the bank did not explain the reason for his departure.
U.S. banking regulators sought the departure of Chodron de Courcel and other executives as part of the investigation.
Shares in BNP were flat in afternoon Paris trading.

Charges Dismissed in Aberdeen Witness-tampering Case
ABERDEEN, S.D. (AP) - A judge has dismissed the remaining charges against two Aberdeen residents on trial in an alleged witness-tampering case because of a lack of evidence.
The American News reports Judge Gene Paul Kean dismissed witness tampering and perjury-related charges filed against former Brown County prosecutor Brandon Taliaferro and Shirley Schwab, a former court advocate for juveniles and families on Thursday. Both charges were felonies.
The two were accused in a case in which prosecutors say a sexual abuse victim was influenced to give false testimony.
The judge had earlier dismissed misdemeanor charges in the case.

New York's Metropolitan Opera (Met) canceled an HD transmission of the anti-Israel opera "The Death of Klinghoffer" following widespread outreach efforts that began with a letter from a media watchdog organization, but eight live performances of the opera will proceed as scheduled this fall.
The opera, about the 1985 hijacking of the Achille Lauro cruise ship and Palestinian terrorists' murder of one of its Jewish passengers, has been heavily criticized for its sanitization of Palestinian terrorism and invoking of anti-Semitic canards. Klinghoffer's daughters, Lisa and Ilsa, have written regarding the opera for The New York Times, "We are outraged at the exploitation of our parents and the cold-blooded murder of our father as the centerpiece of a production that appears to us to be anti-Semitic."
Myron Kaplan, an opera expert and a senior research analyst for the Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America (CAMERA), was the first commentator to publicly criticize the Met's planned Nov. 15 simulcast of the anti-Israel opera. In an open letter to Met General Manager Peter Gelb that was published by JNS.org, Kaplan wrote that the HD transmission would give "wide international distribution to what is, at its heart, an anti-Jewish slander."
"The choice of the title, 'The Death of Klinghoffer' and not 'The Murder of Klinghoffer,' signals the work's moral evasion and misrepresentation," he wrote. "In a sense, it is consistent with the PLO's (Palestine Liberation Organization) initial comments on the murder, that either Klinghoffer had died of natural causes or his wife pushed him overboard to be able to claim life insurance. The title's sanitizing of murder is, however, also consistent with the opera's anti-Jewish tone. Instead of properly characterizing the Palestinian hijackers of the cruise ship as permanent prisoners of their own rage originating from cultural indoctrination, [composer John Adams and librettist Alice Goodman] impart idealism to them."
Kaplan's letter sparked a broader Jewish community campaign against the Met's simulcast and live showings of the opera. The Met then announced Tuesday that it would pull the simulcast, but not the eight live performances from Oct. 20 to Nov. 15, citing discussions on the issue between Gelb and Anti-Defamation League National Director Abraham Foxman.
"I'm convinced that the opera is not anti-Semitic," Gelb said in a statement. "But I've also become convinced that there is genuine concern in the international Jewish community that the live transmission of 'The Death of Klinghoffer' would be inappropriate at this time of rising anti-Semitism, particularly in Europe."

BARCELONA, Spain (Reuters) - Separatists in Catalonia won a large majority in regional elections but a poor result for the biggest Catalan nationalist party will complicate a push for a referendum on independence from Spain.
A deep recession and high unemployment have fuelled separatism in wealthy Catalonia, piling political uncertainty on Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy as he fights a debt crisis that could force Spain to seek an international bailout.
Flying pro-independence flags - a lone star against yellow and red stripes - Catalan voters on Sunday handed 87 seats, almost two-thirds of the local parliament, to four different parties that want a referendum on secession.
But voters also punished the movement's figurehead, Catalan President Artur Mas. His Convergence and Union, or CiU, remains the biggest party in the local parliament, but it lost 12 seats and Mas said he will have to ally with another party to govern.
Mas tried to ride the separatist wave after hundreds of thousands of people demonstrated in September, demanding independence for Catalonia, a northeastern region with its own language that sees itself as distinct from the rest of Spain.
But Mas only recently backed Catalan independence, and while he stirred up enthusiasm for the idea, in the end he drove voters into the arms of parties seen as more genuinely representative of the separatist cause.
"Mas was hurt... The pro-independence movement is more distributed among different parties now, but the issue is important enough so that I think they will do everything to stay united," said Oriol Vilaseca, 38, who works for a family business and who voted for CiU.
With a population of 7.5 million people, export powerhouse Catalonia has an economy almost as big as Portugal. But it is labouring under a load of debt and Catalans think too much of their taxes go to the rest of Spain.
Mas, who has implemented tough austerity measures to rein in Catalonia's steep public deficit, said the situation was more complex now but he would still push for a referendum.
Unlike in Scotland, where the government of the United Kingdom has agreed to a 2014 referendum, a Catalan plebiscite on breaking away from Spain could trigger a constitutional crisis and the central government has vowed to block it.
Mas fell far short of his aim of winning an absolute majority of at least 68 seats, leaving the separatist movement without a strong leader to pressure Madrid to recognise Catalonia's right to hold a referendum.
In Madrid, political leaders said Mas's poor showing would put an end to the referendum idea in Catalonia, which generates a fifth of the national economy.
"I've never seen such a ruinous political operation as Mas's," Prime Minister Rajoy said at a Monday meeting of leaders of his People's Party, or PP, according to El Mundo newspaper.
But leftist separatists who got a big boost in the polls said they were more determined than ever to hold a referendum.
"They've elected us to go ahead with a democratic project, It's massive support. We will have to respond to what the people have asked for," said Alfred Bosch, a deputy in the national Parliament in Madrid from the Republican Left, or ERC.
Bosch said the "will of the people" would trump any constitutional impediment to a plebiscite.
The ERC, a long-standing separatist party, was the big beneficiary of Mas's independence rhetoric, doubling its presence in the Catalan parliament to 21 seats and becoming the main opposition party in for the first time in its history.
The Socialists took 20 seats and the PP 19. Three other parties, including two that want a referendum on independence, split the remaining 25 seats.
Catalans traveled home from around Europe to vote in the election, which had a strong turnout of 68 percent, 10 percentage points higher than in the previous vote two years ago.
Spain's' borrowing costs rose and shares fell after the election result, reflecting some concern at the separatists' successes, but price moves were modest with investors focussed on efforts to solve Greece's debt problems.
No matter what the election outcome was, the revival of Catalonia's long-dormant separatist movement will eventually force Spain to rethink the model it chose after the Francisco Franco dictatorship ended in the 1970s.
The 1978 constitution gave significant self-governing powers to the country's 17 autonomous regions, partly to appease centuries-old dreams of nationhood in Catalonia and the Basque Country.
Catalans and Basques have pushed for more autonomy, especially for more control over their taxes. But the flare up in separatism in Catalonia this year has been more radical.
Wary that separatism could spread to the Basque Country and beyond, Rajoy said the Catalan election was more important than general elections.
"The Catalan issue is an opportunity to discuss a model that has been under debate since its inception. It's about the territorial model for Spain," said Antonio Barroso, political analyst with Eurasia Group
Under the current model, Catalonia shares some tax revenue with the rest of Spain and many Catalans believe their economy would prosper if they could invest more of their taxes at home.
Barroso said Rajoy, who earlier this year refused to negotiate with Mas over taxes, would have to take up talks with Catalonia over modifications to the revenue sharing system.
Home to car factories and banks and the birthplace of surrealist painter Salvador Dali and architect Antoni Gaudi, the region also has one of the world's most successful football clubs, FC Barcelona.
Enthusiasm for independence could subside as Catalans contemplate the economic realities of a split from Spain, especially if the price to pay is leaving the European Union.
After a decade of overspending during Spain's real estate boom, Catalonia and most of the country's other regions are struggling to pay state workers and meet debt payments.
Catalonia has 44 billion euros of outstanding debt and the ratio of its debt to its gross domestic product is 22 percent, the highest among Spain's regions.
Mas was one of the first Spanish leaders to embark on harsh austerity measures after Catalonia's public deficit soared and the regional government was shunned by debt markets. He has also had to take billions of euros in bailout funds from the central government and he still has more fat to trim.
His austerity drive will run into trouble with the newly empowered Republican Left. Bosch said ERC would not form a coalition with Mas's CiU and would not agree to any more cuts in spending on schools and hospitals.

Méribel ski area
Known as the Heart of the Three Valleys, Méribel was founded by Peter Lindsay, a Scot, who developed the first commercial ski resort on the site occupied today. It has grown over the years to become one of the most popular resorts in the Alps with UK skiers. it's not difficult to see why!
Méribel is superbly located for quick access to all corners of the Three Valleys, itself the biggest linked ski area in Europe with over 600km of piste. Méribel provides the perfect combination of challenges for advanced skiers and cruising for beginners and intermediates. Put simply, there is no better ski area anywhere in the world than the Three Valleys and Méribel is slap bang in the middle of it all!
Méribel ski resort
Méribel Centre is the main hub of the resort, where you'll find an extensive choice of accommodation, shops, restaurants and one of the biggest and wildest apres ski and nightlife scenes in the Alps. From the legendary Rond Point (Ronnie) and Folie Douce to get the party started on the slopes before dinner, right through to O'Sullivan's which stays open almost until breakfast time... Méribel has been developed sympathetically over time, the result of which is an aesthetically pleasing resort of attractive wooden chalets.
Further up the valley is Méribel-Mottaret, which offers ultimate ski convenience as virtually every accommodation is slopeside, however don't expect to be able to party in Méribel Centre if you're staying up in Mottaret. Not quite as easy on the eye as Meribel but price and location are the main attractions for staying in Mottaret.
Méribel Village is a charming satellite village about a kilometre outside of Méribel on the road to La Tania. With a piste running down to the village and its own chairlift, plus a bus service that makes the nightlife in Méribel accesible, Village is another great value option for Méribel

It could be argued that 2013 was the year of hype – whether it be around software-defined networking (SDN), flash storage, the Internet of Things (IoT) or any number of other networking and storage trends. Organizations from diverse sectors have realized the benefits they can reap with high-capacity, high-speed networking that coincides with virtualized workloads and the abilities to transfer large volumes of data, but will we see these revelations translate to actions and further investment? Shaun Walsh, senior vice president of marketing and corporate development, Emulex, believes the answer is yes.
2014 will serve as a critical transitional year for end users, vendors and the industry as a whole, where the hottest trends we saw in 2013 will be further expanded upon. We are at the beginning of a seismic shift in storage and networking capabilities, but 2014 is where we should see these visions become reality. Here are Emulex's top 10 predictions to keep an eye on.

Eric Church Defines 'True Love'
Move over, Cupid. Country crooner Eric Church defines true love in a way that puts an arrow through all the lace and swooning, and really gets down to the heart of the matter.
So, what is true love to the 'Like Jesus Does' singer? He says his wife, Katherine, displays what love is all about. "True love to me is when you love a person in spite of all their fallibilities," he reveals in a quote from Capitol Records Nashville. "I have a lot of 'em. I'm definitely at times hard to love, and that's what's great about Katherine and the way she loves me. She loves me in spite of those things and really for those things."
The country star, who has recently announced a release date for his first live album, couldn't be more on target. It's heartening to see this more vulnerable side of Church and hear his humble approach to love.
As he finishes the Canadian leg of his Blood, Sweet and Beers Tour and looks forward to Kenny Chesney's No Shoes Nation Tour, he'll be a busy man. Hopefully, Church will have time to take his gorgeous wife out and display his true love for her.

Since World War II, 10 U.S. recessions have been followed by a recovery that lasted at least three years. An Associated Press analysis shows that by just about any measure, the one that began in June 2009 is the weakest.
The ugliness goes well beyond unemployment, which at 8.3 percent is the highest this long after a recession ended.
Economic growth has never been weaker in a postwar recovery. Consumer spending has never been so slack. Only once has job growth been slower.
More than in any other post-World War II recovery, people who have jobs are hurting, too: Their paychecks have fallen behind inflation.
Many economists say the agonizing recovery from the Great Recession, which began in December 2007 and ended in June 2009, is the predictable consequence of a housing bust and a grave financial crisis.
Credit, the fuel that powers economies, evaporated after Lehman Brothers collapsed in September 2008. And a 30 percent drop in housing prices erased trillions in home equity and brought construction to a near-standstill. Read more....

UK Company Offers Riot Training Experiences
If you've ever found yourself in the middle of a riot, you know that there is some standard etiquette. If you haven't yet, it's best to learn it before screwing it up. Last year we discovered Zombie Boot Camp, an event hosted by Wish.co.uk which promised to prepare you for the Zombie Apocalypse. We were intrigued by the positive reviews, but to be honest, it seemed a little frivolous at the time. We're on a tight budget, and zombies aren't you know, real. Florida doesn't count.
We're thinking about indulging in Wish.co.uk's new project, though. The company is now offering the UK's first ever Riot Training Experience, and that seems like a good skill to have. Plus, it sounds like a real-life version of the Black Ops: 2 bender we've been on all week. From the site:
In this full throttle experience, the mysteries, intrigues and fundamental steps of basic riot control will be revealed. Who runs at who, good/bad things to wave about and which way up to hold your riot shield.
Wish.co.uk is careful to state that they do not encourage citizens to incite a riot (a criminal offense in the UK), but many nay-sayers are still protesting the event, so you'll want to book your tickets sooner rather than later.
Here's a few pictures from past training experiences that make us even more excited to go:

24 rack packs per box, 45 cards plus one All-Star card per pack (exclusive to rack packs)
Key Rookies: Frank Thomas, Sammy Sosa, Juan Gonzalez, Larry Walker, Bernie Williams
Key card possible: Frank Thomas (No Name on Front variation)
The Frank Thomas card (#414A) was printed without his name on the front, as well as portions of the black borders being omitted, creating a scarce variation. Several additional cards in the set were subsequently discovered missing portions of the black borders or missing some of the black printing in the backgrounds of the photos that occured in the same printing that created the Thomas error. These cards are rarely seen and the Thomas card, for a newer issue, has experienced unprecedented growth as far as value. (Beckett.com)
Topps made a special card of President George Bush with the 1990 design, and presented him with copies that were not meant for distribution, but mysteriously some made their way into general distribution. There are documented cases of collectors receiving this card in packs. A PSA 8 copy sold in September 2010 for $5,000.

text: As a part of Rhizome's Seven on Seven, Ryan Trecartin and David Karp created riverofthe.net, a collection of 10 seconds or less community submitted videos. Trecartin, probably today's most important video artist, and David Karp, creator of tumblr, were brought together, along with several other artists and technologists, by Rhizome back in 2010. Anyone can easily submit, and the more videos the better, because one of the only negative aspects is seeing videos you've already viewed before. It's an incredibly simple and effective idea, which showcases videos that are typically more interesting than most video art out there.

An Islamic History of Europe, produced and broadcasted by BBC 4 in 2005 is a documentary about the Islamic influence on Europe and the effect of the Islamic civilization, learning and sciences on the Western world. In this 90-minute documentary, Rageh Omaar, the presenter of the series, uncovers the hidden story of Europe's Islamic past and looks back to a Golden Age when European civilisation was enriched by Islamic learning. Rageh travels across medieval Muslim Europe to reveal the vibrant civilisation that Muslims brought to the West.

With the 49ers looking shaky on both sides of the ball, the Ravens have jumped out to the first lead of the game.
Baltimore's up 7-0 after Joe Flacco's 13-yard pass to Anquan Boldin, a drive which was helped along by a 49ers penalty on third down. Flacco was 3-of-4 for 41 yards on the first drive.
Coupled with their illegal formation penalty on the game's opening drive and some communication issues in the secondary, the 49ers look a little unsteady in the early going, a fact not helped by the decidedly pro-Baltimore crowd.

On my desk and shelves,
in my bedroom, on my bedside table
piles of books, stacked as high
as they'll let me. These towers
built with mixed bricks,
flavors I want to taste.
Afraid I won't have enough
like a binge-eater, I read until full
never feeling like I'm done.
Quiero más.
I skip words when I speak,
I can't come up with what I want to say
but my mouth utters one, two, three disparates
until the right one comes.
Have I overindulged?
These ideas swimming together,
sorting themselves out, do they
cause me to misspeak?
Should I watch what I read?
Or should I fill up even more,
because there's always more to be had.
No one ever watches how much I read.
They'll judge my plate, eyebrows raised,
but not my shelves.
Me sirvo más.

HERE'S SOMETHING you'll very seldom hear me say: I couldn't find a single disagreeable thing about Magnum Research's MLR22AT. Strip away everything from this particular rimfire, and you're left with the very familiar and highly praised Ruger 10/22, a foundation that is rock-solid.
The rifle is ridiculously accurate. She's light, easy to clean, and favors a diet of reasonably priced ammunition.
But before we begin this gun review, allow me some translation of the rimfire's model designation. MLR stands for MagnumLite Rimfire, while the AT portion of the name reads as 'ambidextrous thumbhole (stock)."
The foundation for the AT is a Ruger 10/22 receiver and blowback operating system. Standard is the Ruger's tried-and-true 10-round rotary magazine – same push button behind-the-mag release and forward cut-out allowing fingertip access to 'pry' the magazine out, if necessary.
A single screw just ahead of the magazine cut-out connects the stock to the barrel/receiver. The crossbolt safety is located in the forward portion of the trigger guard; a scalloped bolt lock behind and slightly to the left of the magazine release holds the bolt open (press lower) or closed (press upper).
Different, however, from the traditional stock 10/22s are several features unique to the AT. In milling the receiver, the folks at Magnum Research have incorporated an integral Weaver style rail atop for mounting optics. In the rear of the receiver, a hole allows for easy barrel maintenance. The bolt handle on the AT is large – one inch long, and 11/16-inch in diameter – and hollow, i.e. light to allow for sufficient bolt speed with the relatively slow .22LR ammunition.

Looking for a plugin that will do me a fix section on the template. It should look like the chat window ( that appears on the sites with live chat available ) that follows you even if you scroll down a page.
Something like ( "http://home.plimus.com/ecommerce/shoppers/customer-support" )
But I don't want a live chat window ... I want to edit that window and that should work with html ( so that I can put whatever I want in that section ).
Have any idea of something like that?

The World Knit in Public Day was a blast; even though it was a full wet day of rain. We stayed warm and dry inside the Epcor Centre, in our own knitting room. There were over 30 knitters, coming and going, some picking up the sticks for their very first time. One of the new knitters is also a reporter ,Indrani Kar and you can read her report of the event here. Indrani even has a picture of the red cabled knit bomb we put up at Olympic Plaza during the LiveStyles event.
Funny thing about the Knit in Public Day; I thought I would be able to finish knitting a stripey sock I had started earlier.. but nope.. too much talking and not enough knitting.. LOL. Some of all that talking was actually planning future knit bombs! Of course I can't tell you yet, but one of them is fairly short range, so you will see it yourselves soon enough. The other is a bigger (much bigger) project…..
The Knit-A-Thon was even more fun. I can say that because 'lucky me' won 2 fabulous door prizes, however, despite my best knitting efforts, the stripey sock still did not get finished. Our participant bags contained knitting needles from River John Needle Company, and I won yarn from Island Sweet Fibre Arts, and Rocky Mountain Dye Works. My daughter and I knit our hearts out, through several repeats of ABBA's greatest hits. 😉 Hopefully, L'Arche raised a ton of money, as there seemed to be a good turn out for the event.
Last night, we drove past the school fence where I had put the Check Mark knit bomb on Friday. Its GONE. That check mark has moved on to the next stage in its weird woolly life. All we can do now is make guesses as to what happened to it. And, I worked on the stripey sock. (actually, I think I will finish it today!)
Besides working on socks – 4 pairs finished since March, and 2 pairs in process, I am knitting some long long lonnnnnggggg pieces to send to the Knitted Maze in the UK. (see here) If it stays sunny for more than a few minutes, I'll take some pictures to post. Wish me luck.

DURHAM, N.C. -- The Duke men's basketball team is trading in the traditional notebook and hard copy scouting reports for the latest in technology in 2012-13. The Blue Devils will use the Apple iPad 3 64 GB with retina display for everything from scouting reports to practice and game videos next season, becoming the first college basketball program in the country to announce that move.
"The Duke basketball program is always trying to equip our players and staff with the very best resources, and the introduction of the iPads is another step in that direction," said associate head coach Steve Wojciechowski. "This new technology will help all of us work more efficiently and productively, while communicating at a higher level. We are very excited to involve the iPads in our day-to-day operations, evaluating our scouting, video analysis, schedule and game preparation."
Each iPad will include practice schedules, weekly itineraries, scouting reports, game and practice statistics as well as an extensive library of videos (practices, games, opponents and player specific video edits). The Duke players and coaches will also have the ability to take notes on the devices during film breakdown and on scouting reports.
"We are all excited to have these new tablets, and it's going to be great for our team," said senior captain Ryan Kelly. "Individually, I love to break down game footage, and that's something that's going to be easier now. I'll be able to watch game film, practice film and even opponent film on my own time at home and also on the road."
Duke will not place any restrictions on the iPads, allowing the Blue Devils to use them to enhance their educational experience as well as provide some occasional entertainment with music and movie libraries, internet and social media site access and yes, the occasional game of Angry Birds or Words with Friends. The iPads will also be equipped with tracking software and can easily be erased or wiped clean if stolen or lost.
"We are traveling so much that the tablets will also be great to help with school work and to take a break to watch a movie or listen to some music," Kelly added. "I am really excited about it, and I know my teammates are as well."
The iPads will remain the property of Duke University, but each player will have the opportunity to purchase the device at market price upon their graduation.
Duke will handle the entire project in-house unlike many of the professional and college football programs that have begun using iPad technology. Video coordinator Kevin Cullen and operations intern Casey Stevenson will take an active role in keeping each player's iPad updated.

Hubby was right. I received much more on this missions trip than I gave.
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever! Amen.
Ephesians 3:20-21
The prayer that as a team, we would work quickly and safely to finish on time.
The prayer that this family would see and feel God's love through the work we were doing there.
The house we built is not fancy. It is not big. But it is their home. A home they waited for. A home they helped to build.
I can't wait to go back.
W nailing in some siding
the most handsome worker there if I do say so myself
Day 3 - finishing work & moving in
Everything in the house was donated. The ladies had so much fun filling the house with things to make this families' lives more comfortable. Blankets, clothes, pots and pans...all the things I take for granted.
the main room
Eduardo and Miriam's room
the kids' room
Some of my favorite moments...
I was so proud of how hard they worked.
Eduardo Jr was happy to let J mother him all weekend. He also loved wearing her visor.
The kids got some crafting time.
And what trip would be complete without face painting?
We can't thank all of you enough for your donations and prayers. We were truly blessed and overwhelmed by each of you. You helped my family show the love of Jesus to people who needed it. At the end of the weekend our church missions team had built three houses for three beautiful families. I can't begin to express how grateful we are.

Last Friday was that night of nights, where some fun prizes were handed out, as well as the draw for the major and minor prize in the raffle for a Mariner Boating holiday to the Med! The major prize went to Graham Camier and the minor prize to Garry Holder, congratulations!
For Tim Armytage, a very satisfying part of the night was the "bucketing" of King Neptune.
For the full series of photographs of the night, have a look at the album in the centre column of this page (slideshow here). As usual, photos by Jim Cormack.
And of course thanks to Mariner Boating for a great prize!

Melt margarine over low-medium heat and add olive oil, salt, pepper, hot sauce, lemon juice, and bacon. Simmer for 2 minutes. Allow to cool.
Place the cleaned crabs on plate. Liberally coat the crabs with the sauce, making sure to lift the sides of the shell to coat the meat inside. Save remaining sauce for basting. Cover the crabs and allow to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
Heat grill to medium-low.
Place crabs on grill topside down. Baste with remaining sauce while they cook. Cook crabs about 3 to 4 minutes on each side. The crab will crisp on the outside and the meat inside will turn white.
Remove from grill and serve topped with Grilled Vidalia Onions.
Heat griddle or nonstick pan over medium-high heat.
Peel onions and cut into thin rings. Toss rings with seasoning and olive oil.
Cook until onions turn clear and start to caramelize. Serve over grilled crab.
Yield: 4 servings
