Opponents Of Medicaid Expansion Want Funds Voided
Two anti-abortion groups and six Republican lawmakers argue in court documents that an Ohio panel exceeded its authority when it cleared the way for federal funds to be spent on an expansion of Medicaid.
The groups and state representatives are suing the state Controlling Board and Ohio's Department of Medicaid over last month's decision. They want the Ohio Supreme Court to order the panel to declare its decision as void and stop Medicaid officials from using the board's approval to move forward with covering more people under the health program.
In a court filing Friday, the plaintiffs say such a ruling is necessary to prevent serious harm to the checks and balances of government.
Republican Gov. John Kasich (KAY'-sik) had defended the move, saying it was within the rules.

text: Infineon Raceway Disappearing Cycle News Staff | May 23, 2012Infineon Raceway will cease to exist as of Friday, June 1. The raceway will still be there, just not the name.Infineon Technologies, the U.S. arm of the German company Infineon Technologies AG, has chosen not to renew its naming rights when the ten-year contract expires on June 1. Raceway management is actively searching for a new partner to take over naming rights, though nothing is imminent. They've set a late fall deadline to formally make a name change, with or without a new naming rights sponsor.Prior to Infineon buying the naming rights ten years ago, the track was named for Sears Point, the land mass that it sits on that reaches into San Pablo Bay in Sonoma County. Despite the name change to Infineon Raceway a decade ago, many people still referred to the 2.32-mile, 12-turn track as Sears Point.Rather than revert to Sears Point Raceway, the track will use use the regional designation of "Sonoma." And the track's online presences will reflect the change. They can be found online at www.racesonoma.com, on Facebook at facebook.com/racesonoma and on Twitter @racesonoma. The phone number remains 800-870-RACE (7223).The next major event is the Sonoma Historic Motorsports Festival on June 2-3, followed by the Toyota/Save Mart 350 Sprint Cup race on the weekend of June 22-24.

Rainer Werner Fassbinder, the genius of the New German Cinema, made forty-three remarkable film and television works between 1966 and his death in 1982 at age thirty-seven. The full depth and scope of this astonishing career--unparalleled in postwar world cinemawas on display for the first time in the United States beginning January 23, 1997, when The Museum of Modern Art presented Rainer Werner Fassbinder, a complete retrospective of the director's work.
Using a potent mix of impassioned melodrama and biting satire, working independently with a loyal, likeminded cast and crew, and wedding intense personal and political issues, Fassbinder produced an entirely original oeuvre that remains as imaginative and incisive today as when he was alive. These films include acknowledged treasures such as The Marriage of Maria Braun (1978), Lola (1981), Fox and His Friends (1974), Veronika Voss (1981), Effi Briest (1972/74), The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant (1972), Katzelmacher (1969), In a Year of 13 Moons (1978), Ali: Fear Eats the Soul (1973), and Lili Marleen (1980).
The series concluded on March 20. Following the complete retrospective at MoMA, films from the series travel to thirteen cities in North America through March 1998, including Los Angeles, San Francisco, Atlanta, Washington, Cleveland, Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, Berkeley, Houston, Chicago, Columbus, and Boston.
Publication: Rainer Werner Fassbinder.
Edited by Laurence Kardish, in collaboration with Juliane Lorenz.
The series was a collaboration between The Museum of Modern Art and the Fassbinder Foundation, and was presented with the assistance of Goethe-Institut New York/German Cultural Center. The program was presented with the support of New Yorker Films, New York; Leisure Time Features, New York; and InterNationes, Bonn. It was made possible by a grant from The Simar Group, with additional funding from Christoph Henkel. Transportation was provided by Lufthansa, Berlin.

On the morning after Microsoft's exclusive E3 drinks reception in Hollywood, where the likes of Allard, Peter Moore, Shane Kim and the European Xbox team mixed with a handful of sweaty hacks, the Xbox creator was in an open mood when we spoke with him. He discussed the current state of play for the Xbox business and beyond, offering insights into next-gen software development and how it will change the way we experience videogames.
When asked if, aside from the XNA demonstrations we've already seen, he had been privy to next-gen demonstrations, he said: 'There's some stuff that's just knocked my socks off.
'The thing we're looking at in the next generation is just an unbelievable amount of raw computing power - the architecture will be much more specialised,' he added.
'Right now you have your audio chip and your graphics chip and your CPU, and you're constantly trying to figure out the balances. In the next generation we're gonna have so much silicon, so much raw computing horsepower - developers are going to be able to use this in interesting and exciting ways.'

Next Amazon Kindle Fire to get 1280 x 800 display
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Handhelds, Rumors
Amazon is readying the successor to the Kindle Fire tablet, and AllThingsD is reporting that the device will have a nice, crisp, high-resolution display when it arrives. The display resolution will purportedly be boosted to 1280 x 800. This is the same display resolution (and possibly even the same panels) you'll find in the Google Nexus 7 tablet as well. Interestingly, this means that the Kindle Fire aspect ratio will change, as the current model has a 1.71 ratio while a 1280 x 800 display is 1.60.

It Was Not 'Race', but Place, by Which We Once Defined Our Differences
Historians of antiquity credit the traveler and geographer Hecataeus of Miletus (ca. 550–ca. 490 BCE) as the first Greek to map the whereabouts of Celts and Scythians. We know little about him except that he traveled to Egypt and recognized the extent and power of the Persian empire. But he must have been more widely traveled, for he locates the trading center Massilia (modern French Marseilles) in the land of the Ligurians, near the land of the Celts, and he mentions a Celtic settlement in what is now the southeastern Austrian state of Styria. Hecataeus also sees much else: the Black Sea sits near the middle of the map, just to the right of "Thrace," with the Sea of Azov sticking up above it. His Danube, Dnieper, and Don Rivers—correctly—empty into the Black Sea from the left, the center, and the Sea of Azov, and the Caspian Sea lies at the far upper right at the edge of the world. Lastly, Hecataeus takes a leap, placing the Scythians between the Danube and the Dnieper Rivers and the Celts in the west, left of what we call the Italian peninsula. A half century later, Herodotus ridiculed Hecataeus's map as vague and untrustworthy, and so it is. But the Greeks were reaching out and learning more.
Comb with battle scene (partial), Scythian/Greek style, 430-390 B.C. / Ukraine, Solokha kurgan / The State Hermitage Museum, Saint Petersburg
Born seventy years after Hecataeus, Herodotus of Halicarnassus (ca. 480–ca. 427 BCE) had an advantage, and he seized it, gaining acclaim as the West's first systematic historian, indeed as the father of history, a title given him by the great Roman orator Cicero. So lasting was Herodotus's reputation that his likeness, real or imagined, was carved in stone in Greece a century or so after his death and copied later in Rome. Born and raised in what is now western Turkey, he traveled widely, took good notes, and produced the first unified world history, encompassing Egypt ("Africa"), western Asia ("Asia"), as well as Greece ("Europe"). Where earlier scholars had repeated hearsay, Herodotus seems actually to have visited Egypt, Babylonia, the Balkans, and the Black Sea region. He also most likely reported on Scythians as an eyewitness.
Herodotus's History, written in 440 BCE, chronicles a succession of great wars fought between Persians and Greeks during the period 499–479 BCE. More important for our purposes, The History also describes barbarians surrounding the Greek known world. Quite naturally, Herodotus puts Greece in the middle of everything and sings its praises. Even so, by modifying Hecataeus's map of fifty years earlier, he did improve upon it greatly. Of course, Herodotus's world is still flat—that notion would stand for another thousand years. But he displayed it wider, including the entire Mediterranean Sea, the Celts in the Iberian Peninsula, and the Scythians north of the Black Sea. He also grants the Amazons an appearance, east of the other Scythians and north of the Caucasus.
Living in the eastern Mediterranean, Herodotus knew far more about eastern Scythians than about western Celts, who lived too far away for him to have good information. Much of The History describes the various Scythian tribes and their territory. Although concentrating on the settled "Royal" Scythians around the lower Danube, Dnister, and Dnieper Rivers—all emptied into the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov—Herodotus's descriptions reach out to nomadic peoples far east of the Ural Mountains and around the Caspian Sea. Looking east from Athens, Herodotus held an advantage denied earlier historians, for by the time he wrote in the mid-fifth century, the Greek empire extended to the Black Sea, and some Scythian groups were in regular commercial contact with Greeks and Persians. Other various tribes, lumped into the Scythian mélange for convenience, were merely designated as wild.
Sharing a common view of Scythians as preeminent warriors, Herodotus was agog at what he described as their savage and drug-riddled life in what is now southern Ukraine, not to mention their circumcised penises. Herodotus knew, perhaps as an eyewitness—historians remain divided on this point—that Scythians smoked marijuana and substituted drug use for bathing: "The Scythians, as I said, take some of this hemp-seed, and, creeping under the felt coverings, throw it upon the red-hot stones; immediately it smokes, and gives out such a vapour as no Grecian vapour-bath can exceed; the Scyths, delighted, shout for joy, and this vapour serves them instead of a water-bath; for they never by any chance wash their bodies with water."
Herodotous's Scythians also drink the blood of the first man they kill in battle, then cut off their victims' heads for delivery to their king or chief for payment: "The Scyth is proud of these scalps," Herodotus reports, "and hangs them from his bridle-rein; the greater the number of such napkins that a man can show, the more highly is he esteemed among them. Many make themselves cloaks, like the sheepskin [garments] of our peasants, by sewing a quantity of these scalps together." Bodies of the vanquished serve a further use as showy quivers for arrows made of the skin of a right arm: "Now the skin of a man is thick and glossy, and would in whiteness surpass almost all other hides. Some even flay the entire body of their enemy, and stretching it upon a frame carry it about with them wherever they ride." The skulls of their very worst enemies served as drinking cups, lined, if the Scythian could afford it, with gold.
As for the Amazons, Herodotus found them fascinating as well. After marrying and settling down, "[t]he women of the Sauromatae have continued from that day to the present to observe their ancient customs, frequently hunting on horseback with their husbands, sometimes even unaccompanied; in war taking the field; and wearing the very same dress as the men." The History also describes man-women as skilled soothsayers called "Enarees."
Hippocrates, ancient Greece's greatest physician and the father of Western medicine, from the Greek island of Kos (off the coast of Herodotus's Halicarnassus, in western Turkey), also wrote widely and with great confidence on many other matters at the peak of Greek imperial power in the third and fourth centuries BCE. His De aëre, aquis et locis (Airs, Waters, and Places), a universal encyclopedia from 400 BCE, includes the barbarian ways of Scythians, Asians, and Greeks and, true to his medical interests, their practices of sexuality and reproduction.
For Hippocrates, topology and water determine body type, leading to differences between peoples of bracing, high terrain and those in low-lying meadows. Lowlanders he posited as broad, fleshy, and black haired: "they themselves are dark rather than fair, less subject to phlegm than to bile. Similar bravery and endurance are not by nature part of their character, but the imposition of law can produce them artificially." People living where the water stands stagnant "must show protruding bellies and enlarged spleens." Where the living is easy, as in the fertile lowlands, men pay the price in manhood: "the inhabitants are fleshy, ill-articulated, moist, lazy, and generally cowardly in character. Slackness and sleekness can be observed in them, and so far as the arts are concerned they are thick-witted, and neither subtle nor sharp."
Generalizing further about the two types he assumes live in the high country, Hippocrates believed that those in a level, windy place will be "large of stature" and "like to one another; but their minds will be rather unmanly and gentle." By contrast, those confined to places where the soil is thin and dry and the seasons change dramatically "will be hard in physique and well-braced, fair rather than dark, stubborn and independent in character and temper. For where the changes of the seasons are most frequent and most sharply contrasted, there you will find the greatest diversity in physique, in character, and in constitution."
Getting to the nub of the matter, Hippocrates' mountainous, rugged Greece clearly shaped his concepts of its European penumbra. A land "blasted by the winter and scorched by the sun," produced handsome men: "hardy, slender, with well-shaped joints, well-braced, and shaggy." The fierce Greek/European temperament would seem to explain Greek imperial domination as well as manly Greek/European beauty: for "where the land is bare, waterless, rough, oppressed by winter's storms and burnt by the sun, there you will see men who are hard, lean, well-articulated, well-braced, and hairy; such natures will be found energetic, vigilant, stubborn and independent in character and in temper, wild rather than tame, of more than average sharpness and intelligence in the arts, and in war of more than average courage."
Such applause for European hardness would reappear over time, depending on the exposure of scholars to armies (mercenary and voluntary) and the relative prestige of militarism, especially in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, when Americans widely envied the military might of European colonial powers.
Though Hippocrates places various Scythian tribes in a number of different regions and assigns to them an array of body types, he oddly concludes that they all look more or less alike. Some live along the Ukrainian Sea of Azov, the mild northern bay of the Black Sea (also known in antiquity as Palus Maeotis, on the border region between Hippocrates' Europe and Asia). Others inhabit a cold, humid region and drink water from snow and ice, which Hippocrates believed had an effect on skin color: "The Scythians are a ruddy race because of the cold, not through any fierceness of the sun's heat. It is the cold that burns their white skin and turns it ruddy."

The Dallas Mavericks didn't land their top targets in free agency, but they've overhauled their roster with quality players at nearly every position.
The latest newcomer -- shooting guard O.J. Mayo -- agreed to a two-year contract late Monday and joins point guard Darren Collison, power forward Elton Brandon, center Chris Kaman and shooting guard Dahntay Jones on the new-look roster in Dallas.
The Mavericks lost guards Jason Kidd and Jason Terry in free agency and missed out of unrestricted free agent Deron Williams, a native Texan who opted to take the more lucrative five-year maximum contract offer to stay with the Nets.
Mayo played off the bench with the Grizzlies last season and could step right into Terry's role as the player coach Rick Carlisle counts on for instant offense as the sixth man. He also started every game during the first two seasons of his NBA career. He was drafted third overall in 2008 and dealt from the Timberwolves to Memphis.
The second year of Mayo's contract with the Mavericks is a player option.
Mayo averaged 12.6 points per game in 2011-12 but shot just 40.8 percent from the field.

INDIANAPOLIS — July 18, 2011 — The Pest Control Operators of California (PCOC) and Dow AgroSciences, the manufacturer of Vikane gas fumigant, announced the winners of the eighth annual "Fumigation Banner Bonanza Contest." The contest recognizes California fumigators for displaying easy-to-read, professional and creative signs at fumigation sites.
This year's first-place prize was awarded to Specialty Inspections of Pleasanton, Calif. The winning banner features a "QR" code that, when scanned with a smartphone, takes the consumer directly to Specialty Inspections' website that explains fumigation and provides the opportunity to request an inspection.
"I had seen QR codes being used to advertise other companies' websites," says Lawrence Druga, inspector with Specialty Inspections. "I thought it would be a state-of-the-art way to help consumers understand how a fumigation works and order one quickly."
Finishing in second place was Admiral Pest Control of Bellflower, Calif. Taking third was a banner from Big Valley Termite & Pest Control in Pleasanton, Calif. Quality Care Termite Control, based in Laguna Hills, Calif., earned fourth place.
Participating fumigation companies submitted color photos of their banners, which included their business name, logo and contact information. Banners were judged by a panel of communications specialists on readability from a distance, professionalism, visual impact and attractiveness. Pest control companies with the winning banners will be given gift certificates of their choice in the following amounts: first place, $1,250; second, $1,000; third; $500; and fourth, $250.
"We're proud to once again sponsor PCOC's contest as a way to help our fumigator partners build their businesses and promote industry efforts to educate homeowners on the need for professional services," says Justin Stewart, Dow AgroSciences product manager for VIKANE gas fumigant.

Citizens, Courts, and Confirmations:
In recent years the American public has witnessed several hard-fought battles over nominees to the U.S. Supreme Court. In these heated confirmation fights, candidates' legal and political philosophies have been subject to intense scrutiny and debate. Citizens, Courts, and Confirmations examines one such fight--over the nomination of Samuel Alito--to discover how and why people formed opinions about the nominee, and to determine how the confirmation process shaped perceptions of the Supreme Court's legitimacy.
Drawing on a nationally representative survey, James Gibson and Gregory Caldeira use the Alito confirmation fight as a window into public attitudes about the nation's highest court. They find that Americans know far more about the Supreme Court than many realize, that the Court enjoys a great deal of legitimacy among the American people, that attitudes toward the Court as an institution generally do not suffer from partisan or ideological polarization, and that public knowledge enhances the legitimacy accorded the Court. Yet the authors demonstrate that partisan and ideological infighting that treats the Court as just another political institution undermines the considerable public support the institution currently enjoys, and that politicized confirmation battles pose a grave threat to the basic legitimacy of the Supreme Court.
"Citizens, Courts, and Confirmations is a significant contribution to the literature on judicial politics. Its findings are interesting and unique, and it provides a number of insights likely to prompt further studies of courts and the citizenry. . . . Any scholar or citizen interested in the interrelations of courts and public opinion should read Citizens, Courts, and Confirmations, and it will surely find its way on to the syllabi of numerous graduate courses on judicial politics."--Richard L. Vining, Law and Politics Book Review
"As a piece of research, Citizens is everything court scholars have come to expect from these two authors: its innovative methodology and provocative findings contribute significantly to the literature on public opinion and the judiciary. . . . Like any good study, Citizens both advances the literature and serves as an impetus for future work."--Nicholas LaRowe, Journal of Politics
"I found this book to be an excellent example of cutting edge research that can be highly useful in the classroom. [This book is an] excellent example of the best of current judicial politics research."--Mark C. Miller, Political Psychology
"In this exceptionally well-crafted book, Gibson and Caldeira assess changes in the way the media can influence public support for the Supreme Court. This pathbreaking book is every bit as careful, rigorous, and important as we would expect work by these esteemed authors to be."--Jeffrey Segal, Stony Brook University, State University of New York

Over 450 people have been arrested and 44 police officers injured after London suffered its third night of riots, looting and arson attacks on Monday evening, the capital's Deputy Mayor has said.
Kit Malthouse said rioters attempted to murder a police officer and admitted officers were stretched as they struggled to cope with the violence.
"We had 44 who reported injured this morning, four seriously, it looks like we're going to have an allegation of attempted murder on one particular police officer so it was a very serious night and a very stretching night and I have to say I feel for all those people who've woken up this morning to see the charred remains of their businesses, perhaps their homes, and who've suffered in London, it's really been a terrible night", he told the BBC.
A man was also shot during riots in Croydon and 14 bystanders were injured in the worst violence in living memory police said on Tuesday morning.
"Last night was the worst the MPS has seen in current memory for unacceptable levels of widespread looting, fires and disorder...
"Disturbing levels of violence were directed at officers again, leading to 44 being injured last night, which included an officer being driven at resulting in broken bones, and another officer receiving an eye injury that is likely to need surgery (separate incident).
14 members of the public were also hurt, including a man in his 60's who has life threatening head injuries."
They warned: "Those involved in criminality should be under no illusion that we will pursue you. We have been making arrests all evening and have a team working during the night examining CCTV images. We will follow up evidence in the coming days in order to bring anyone else responsible for criminal acts to justice."
Deputy Mayor Malthouse also said this morning that those propagating the disorder were attempting to attack fire and ambulance crews.
"Part of the problem for us was that people were spontaneously erupting in these mindless and crazy acts of violence across London and the challenge for us was to focus on the most serious areas and deal with them, to protect fire and ambulance crews that were coming under sustained attack and then to be very mobile across London and move our assets, if you like, as quickly as we possibly could and in that movement there may be some people that we didn't get to very quickly and I'm sorry for that but it was obviously a very testing evening and we need to make sure that we improve performance this evening and get even more police officers out there."
His comments come as the prime minister and Boris Johnson cut their holidays short to deal with the crisis.
The government's emergency committee Cobra will be convened this morning to discuss how to deal with the riots.

Two options: Standard Characters or Specialized Form (Stylized and/or Design)
Standard Characters
Standard character marks consist of plain text. The text of the trademark may include "word(s), letter(s), number(s), or any combination thereof, with no design element and when you are not claiming any particular font, style, size, or color, and absent any stylization or design element."
For a mark to quality as a standard character trademark, it must consist of only acceptable standard characters – letters, numbers and some symbols, such as the ampersand (&), the dollar sign ($), the asterisk (*), etc.
Standard character set available USPTO Trademark Standard Character Set.
Registering a trademark in standard characters provides the broadest rights for your trademark when your mark primarily consists of words, letters, and numbers. It allows you to use those words, letters, and numbers in any manner, i.e. design, without worry about losing your the benefits of a trademark registration. Restated, a word mark in standard characters will typically have broader protection than the same words registered in a specific style or color. You can still use a standard character word mark in a stylized format, and this use will be accepted by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) as evidence of use of the mark.

You know how hippos are made out to be sweet and silly, like big cows, but are actually extremely dangerous and can kill you with stunning brutality? The Pacers are the NBA's hippos....Matt Moore CBS Sports....
This will be closer than it should be:
It's the NFL, just never really know what is going to happen. That being said, the Jaguars are a really bad team.
I'll say:
Jaguars 14
Colts 24
Super Bowl XLI Champions
2000 Eastern Conference Champions
I think it's a foolish idea (to say the least) but the story might have legs. Their owner with the epic moustache, bought a London based soccer team last summer. Now it may be a coincidence but on the other hand you can't help but think a bit more of it.
#colts HC Chuck Pagano: RB Ahmad Bradsaw (neck) out. Nothing definitive on severity of injury. LaRon Landry, RJ Francois out.— Mike Chappell (@mchappell51) September 27, 2013
Read an interesting stat today, Gabbert is 3-1 vs. the Colts, 2-19 vs. rest of the league.
Gabbert is 2-0 vs. Curtis Painter...
Edit Signature
Man we really need Landry back.
Eh, Howell played quite well last week and I don't think we really need him this week for the Jags. If he's back for Seattle that's good enough
Same for Bradshaw, Angerer
Don't ask Marvin Harrison what he did during the bye week. "Batman never told where the Bat Cave is," he explained.
Really hope Bradshaw's neck will be OK next week.
Quick question: How come Landry was day to day since almost 2 weeks ago yet he has lost 2 games? I mean say it's more serious than that and spare us the day to day status.
I really hope we're not overlooking these guys. It's about as close to a bye week as you can get and would make that win against san francisco look like a fluke as opposed to the norm.
I'm surprised I haven't heard already the Landry - Sanders comparison in terms of their durability. if Landry keeps missing games, pretty sure they will pop up soon.
#colts inactives: Griff Whalen, LaRon Landry, Ahmad Bradshaw, Samson Satele, Xavier Nixon, Montori Hughes, RJ Francois— Mike Chappell (@mchappell51) September 29, 2013
I called this when ya'll signed Landry. He is awesome when he is knocking people out, but I swear he is made of glass.
Come on Luck!!!!!! I need a huge game from him for my fantasy league!
I spent 3 years there, and I LOVED going to watch the away team.
Really is sad how they have some die hards, but for the most part people are really laid bad. Kind of sad, because people are going to ***** up a storm if/when they move.....
where's the damn game? this thing on Gene Simmons's head is creepin me out
Disappointing first drive.
No kidding. I live in Orlando and I finally thought I'd get to watch a game on TV. Why does the NFL think the average viewer gives a damn about a 1pm game in london?
Poor line play, hooray!
Don't ask Marvin Harrison what he did during the bye week. "Batman never told where the Bat Cave is," he explained.
I truly despise living in Northern Ohio.
that pick's not on Gabbert, Shorts shoulda had that. good play by Davis though

I have implants for a year now. Silicone(allergan) THey have been painful for a year now. I was diagnosed with capsular contracture IV. Could the red circles be associated with implants?
I Broke out with Red Circles on my Body, Could Implants Cause This?
Doctor Answers 2
Red Spots after BA
Sorry to hear of your problem but you need to see a dermatologist. I cannot imagine how they are connected but I have been surprised before. It is virtually impossible to develop an "allergy" to breast implants. They are inert objects and can get infected, but actually the pocket around the implants is involved. So, good luck and let us know.
Rash after breast implants
Red circles or a skin rash one year after breast implants is an unlikely association. You should best see your family doctor to begin the investigate the cause.
Best of luck,

(Nov. 18, 2011) On November 15, 2011, France's Haut conseil à l'intégration (High Council for Integration) presented to the Minister of the Interior a draft of a charter listing the rights and duties of the French citizen. Foreign nationals applying for naturalization will be required to sign the document (Cécilia Gabison, Les obligations nouvelles pour devenir Français, LE FIGARO.FR (Nov. 15, 2011)). The High Council for Integration, created by ministerial decree in 1989, is charged with making useful recommendations regarding all questions related to the integration of foreign residents or persons of foreign origin into French society (Haut conseil à l'intégration, Présentation (last visited Nov. 15, 2011)).
This charter was set forth by article 2 of Law 2011-672 of June 16, 2011, on Immigration, Integration and Nationality (Loi n° 2011-672 du 16 juin 2011 relative à l'immigration, à l'intégration et àla nationalité, LEGIFRANCE; see also Nicole Atwill, France: Law on Immigration, Integration and Nationality, GLOBAL LEGAL MONITOR (July 1, 2011)). The draft Charter is approximately 20 pages long. To enter into effect, it must be adopted by a decree issued by the executive branch of government (Document – La Charte des droits et des devoirs du citoyen français, LE FIGARO.FR (Nov. 15, 2011)).
The charter spells out "the principles, values and symbols of the French Republic" (Cécilia Gabison, supra). It notably states that "all citizens participate in the defense and cohesion of the nation. Everyone has the duty to contribute, based on their financial means, to the expenses of the nation by the payment of direct taxes, indirect taxes, or social contributions." It further provides that "[i]n becoming a French citizen, one cannot claim another citizenship on French territory." It also details the social rights that are attached to French citizenship (id).
Foreign nationals who apply for naturalization will be required to show a basic knowledge of French history, culture, and civilization. The Ministry of the Interior has asked a group of historians to establish the level of knowledge required in these fields and will publish a regulation at a later date (id). As for the level of French language required, it is the level one should have at the end of compulsory education (id).

SMU's Randall Joyner returns, but Der'rick Thompson out 5-6 weeks
SMU's defensive leader, linebacker Randall Joyner, expects to play on Saturday against TCU but receiver Der'rick Thompson will probably miss five to six weeks with a leg injury.
Running back Traylon Shead, who hasn't played since the third quarter of game one, is questionable.
"It feels good just to get back out there," said Joyner, who injured his knee in the opener against Texas Tech. "I'd say I'm 85 to 90 percent right now."
Thompson, injured against Montana State, has been in walking cast.

Me and my best friend are planning to go to Hawaii next year in August time, for anyone who has gone to Hawaii did you enjoy it? What was the weather like and which part of Hawaii did you go to? For people who live in the UK and went to Hawaii, which airline did you take to get there? I specifically want to go to Honolulu, looks like such a beautiful place.
Loved it! Maui, Big Island, Honolulu. Went diving with sharks, manta rays, sea turtles. Snorkelling to Malakai. Drove to the volcano on the big island and saw lava coming out of the side and into the ocean. Pearl Harbour. Went for tour by helicopter and then up the road to Hana. It was magical. Would love to live there.

Design grows despite ailing economy
In 2005, Premsela published a report mapping the numerous Dutch design initiatives in the Netherlands. TNO's new research continues the project. The study found remarkably strong growth in the sector, which cannot be explained purely by the growth of the broader economy and has to do with a structural change in design practice. The report's conclusions make clear that the Dutch government's decision to designate the creative industries a key sector has not been in vain. They also reinforce the importance and necessity of investment in creative businesses.

Islam IS from its origin a social/political/terrorist tool for hegemony over "infidels" incl. women in a sharia system that forces children to stay muslims. Many "muslims" don't dare to quit because apostasy is the worst "crime". The islamofascist Saudi dictator family is the "custodians" of islam (Mecca, Medina, OIC) which is incompatible with Human Rights making it necessary to criminalize defense of the most basic Human Rights as "islamophobia". Stop colluding to evil!
Human Rights is diversity - sharia is the opposite
The evil of Sharia islam is what makes it incompatible with Negative Human Rights (i.e. why islamic OIC violates Human Rights by replacing them with Sharia, hence excluding women and non-muslims from equality). The evil of islam and its origin may be easier to grasp with historical examples, e.g. the Origin of Vikings.
It's racism and sexism even if proposed by a "god"! Klevius altruistic virtual volunteering for the world community in defense of Universal Human Rights . Yes, I know, it's unfair. Klevius vs islam, i.e. Universal Human Rights vs Sharia (OIC) racism/sexism! Of course Klevius will win. The question is just how long we should allow the dying beast to make people suffer. (Negative) Human Rights is not a "Western" invention! It's where you end up when you abandon racism and sexism, idiot! After you have abandoned islam! Your confused islamophilia and ignorance about Human Rights make YOU an accomplice to islam's crimes! Whereas Human Rights work as egalitarian and universal traffic rules (no matter who you are or what you drive you have the same rights as everyone else) islam/Sharia differs between muslim men and the rest (women and "infidels")!
Have you noticed that when the history of slavery is (PC) debated islam is always excluded/excused? Atlantic slave trade and Roman slaves are eagerly mentioned while the world's by far worst, longest and most extensive one is blinked, as is the fact that islam not only sanctions slavery but is itself built on slavery and sex slavery (rapetivism)! The core idea of islam is the most thoroughly elaborated parasitism ever, i.e. what in 1400 yrs has made it the by far worst crime ever. But thanks to islamic teachings muslims are kept extremely ignorant about the evil origin of islam (institutionalized parasitism based on slave finance, rapetivism and pillage). Ohlig: The first two "islamic" centuries lie in the shadows of history. Klevius: There was no islam or islamic Mohammad (that's why the Saudis have levelled Mohammad's "grave" etc), only the evil murdering, pillaging and raping Aramaic-Arabic Jewish("Christian") led illiterate Arab thugs chasing for booty and sex. The "success" of this formula became later institutionalized and codified as a one way (Koran/Sharia) moral excuse (Allah) for further racist/sexist genocides. The bedrock and currency of this system was racist slavery. However, with Enlightenment the new idea of individual (negative) Human Rights emerged (incl. abolishing of slavery) and were, much later (1948), written down in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights according to which everyone is equal no matter of sex, beliefs etc. Just like in traffic! But unlike traffic rules no one really seems to care about guarding our most precious asset as human beings. Instead racist sexist islamofascism (OIC and the Cairo Sharia declaration) is protected by Human Rights while they strive to undermine and eventually destroy these Human Rights! And most people don't seem to get it. Always remember, there is no islam without Human Rights violating racist/sexist Sharia. So a "vote" for Sharia-islam is AGAINST democracy and the freedom part of Human Rights!
Sayeeda Warsi (UK's non-elected OIC/Sharia politician) in essence doesn't differ from those muslim Saudi women who approve of sex slavery etc, other than that she is either ignorant or a traitor (against democracy and Human Rights) of the worst kind.

A Saudi islamofascist and his victim
origin islam
The Saudi "king" & Co guilty of funding islamic violence, rapetivism and murder around the globe, now also main funders of the muslim born Obama!
Klevius Origin of islam analysis is the only one that combines sex segregated rapetivism and slavery as islam's main pillars, hence also explaining islam's fast initial spreading!
Due to the fact that I've used islamic sources there are some flaws (which will soon be corrected) that make islam appear in a better light than it deserves!

Devon Alexander vs Shawn Porter Nov. 30
There has been a lot of shuffling in match making due to the names Amir Khan and Devon Alexander. We now know neither will face each other as the fight landscape is becoming more official each passing day. Devon Alexander (25-1 14KO's) has ran out of willing opposition and it takes a young lion in Shawn Porter (22-0-1 14KO's) to step to the plate. The fight is scheduled to take place in San Antonio, Texas on Nov. 30 at the Freeman Coliseum.
With the booking of Devon Alexander against Shawn Porter, the Amir Khan vs Floyd Mayweather Jr. looks to become a reality and may be announced soon. Insider rumor has Mayweather Jr. fighting in February and not waiting to May of 2014.
Even though Devon Alexander did not get the opponent of choice he can not overlook his opponent Shawn Porter as Porter is undefeated and looking to be a future star in the sport.
The undercard will feature Leo Santa Cruz (25-0-1 15KO's) pinned up against Cesar Seda (25-1 17KO's).

Frankfurt, Germany • German business confidence dropped more than economists predicted to the lowest level since October as weaker growth and escalating tensions in Ukraine weigh on the outlook for Europe's largest economy.
The Ifo institute's business climate index, based on a survey of 7,000 executives, fell to 108 from 109.7 in June, marking the third straight monthly decline. Economists predicted a reading of 109.4, according to the median of 35 estimates in a Bloomberg News survey.
Today's report follows a series of weak economic data for Germany that included industrial production dropping for a third month in May, factory orders falling more than economists expected and retail sales decreasing for a second month. Gross domestic product may have remained unchanged in the second quarter from the previous one, when it rose 0.8 percent, the Bundesbank said this week, and political uncertainty in some of the country's export markets may damp growth going forward.


text: Perhaps this only interests me, as I'm a senior at the University of Michigan, but have you heard wide reciever Braylon Edwards recently? Ok, the draft is Saturday, yet he's already gone out and bought a Bentley. When asked about driving a 250,000 dollar car his reply was "That's ridiculous." He got a "good deal" so it was only 140,000. "250 is not 140." He hasn't even been drafted yet. He's already hired a team of agents and advisors whose jobs are "to make me money." Not too overly confident, are we Braylon? "I believe I'm the best player in the draft. I don't think there's any reason why I can't go to the NFL and dominate." Also his advisor has told him he is "the biggest thing since sliced bread." Why? "One, he speaks and presents himself well. Two 'I'm handsome. Its safe to say.' Three, he works hard and stays out of trouble." [all quotes-Detroit Free Press, 4/21/05, pages 1G and 8G]. Am I alone in hoping he hurts himself the first week of training, as a form of karma?

- 3 large egg whites
- ½ teaspoon vanilla or almond extract (optional)
- 1½ cup powdered sugar
- 1½ cups sweetened flaked coconut (or more as needed)
- Let the eggs sit on the counter for about an hour before separating.
- Prepare a baking sheet by greasing it very well. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Place the egg whites in a medium bowl and starting on xlow speed, beat the egg whites until they begin to foam. As the foam continues to build, you can turn the speed to medium and then high.
- Beat until the foam forms stiff, glossy peaks. Add the extract as desired.
- With a spatula, fold in the powdered sugar until just combined.
- Spoon the batter onto the pan in rounded mounds.
The batter should be of a consistency that a spoonful will stand as a mound 3/4-inch high on the pan. If the batter is too thin and tries to run, add more coconut. If the last few cookies are too thin, add more coconut again.
- Bake 15 minutes for small- to medium-sized cookies; 18 minutes for larger cookies, or until the cookies are a light brown color.
- Immediately remove the cookies with a thin metal spatula by slipping the edge of the spatula under the edge of the cookie and sawing back and forth.

Art exhibition celebrates Clovelly artist's life
PUBLISHED: 08:00 21 February 2013
A brother and sister have painted a chess set of Clovelly characters to celebrate their mother's life.
A BROTHER and sister are holding a charity exhibition and auction night to celebrate the life of their late mother.
Milly Perham fell in love with painting the faces of Clovelly from an early age, but lost a seven year battle with cancer on March 29 last year, aged 72.
To mark the first anniversary of her death, her children Rachel and Stephen Perham will be exhibiting some of her paintings, some of which have never been seen, on March 23.
They'll also be holding a charity auction with lots including a chess set they have made from Clovelly pebbles based on the village's characters.
All the proceeds will go to the North Devon Chemotherapy Appeal, as Milly spent a lot of time being treated at the ward in North Devon District Hospital, said Rachel.
"The first year was always going to be hard and we wanted this to be a celebration of her life," she said.
"Mum painted up until two weeks before she died, and all of her paintings were based on Clovelly characters.
"We both picked up a love of painting from her and this was our way of saying thank you to the hospital for all they did for her."
Stephen, who is a fisherman and the current harbour master, said he, Rachel and their two brothers were the sixth generation of their family to live in the village.
"We're one of the oldest families in the village; there aren't many families left here anymore.
"My brother, father and grandfather were all fishermen, so that's why we decided the pawns in the chess set should be lobsters.
"The rest of the characters are based on local characters; we painted one side each and didn't see each others until the end, which was amusing."
The king and queen represent Clovelly owners John Rous and his wife, the baron represents Royston Johns; the knight, John 'Ticker' Glover and the castles are the two Clovelly hotels, the New Inn and the Red Lion.
But Rachel and Steve are looking for more lots to be donated to the charity auction that will be held on the night.
"It could be anything from food for a hamper or a larger donation," said Rachel.
The exhibition of Milly's paintings will be held from 3pm at the Red Lion Hotel in Clovelly, and the charity auction and raffle will begin at 6pm.
For more information or to donate a raffle or auction prize contact Rachel on 07929 652191.

The appointment by President Obama of Jeffrey Immelt, Chairman and CEO of General Electric, to head the new President's Council on Jobs and Competitiveness is just another sign of the commitment of the Obama Administration to "Crony Capitalism". For over 100 years GE was known for business innovation and manufacturing excellence. But long gone are the uplifting moments in our nation's history when company spokesman Ronald Reagan proudly exalted GE's motto: "Progress is our most important product."
Mr. Immelt as the newly appointed pied-piper for the future for American industry suggests, (as Immelt wrote to shareholders):
"The interaction between government and business will change forever. In a reset economy, the government will be a regulator; and also, an industry policy champion, a financier, and a key partner."
For the last three years, Mr. Immelt has been in the vanguard for this new relationship between business and government, as a member of the Administration's "Economic Recovery Advisory Panel".
During the wild Congressional spending spree of the last couple of years, GE miraculously became the largest beneficiary of the government's Troubled Asset Recovery Program (TARP) bank bailout. Although GE did not initially qualify for TARP, the company's $18 million annual investment in battalions of Washington DC lobbyists convinced Administration regulators to push that "reset" button and extend TARP guarantees and subsidies to GE. Public records demonstrate GE Capital, the company's massive financing arm, pocketed $120 Billion in loans from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation at interest rates of less than 1% and snatched 25% of the entire $340 billion in subsidies from "Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program" (TLGP) rescue fund.
Unlike other highly regulated financial institutions that secured Federal back-stops, including Bank of America, Citigroup and J.P. Morgan Chase; GE was not required to curtail use of risky derivatives or pass the Fed's liquidity "stress test" to qualify for taxpayer funding. GE was also exempted from new regulations restricting executive compensation at firms like AIG and Goldman Sachs. Mr. Immelt took advantage of GE's special treatment to pick up $30.9 million in total compensation over the last three years, while GE shareholders suffered a catastrophic 46% loss as the company's shares crumbled from $35 to $19.
Mr. Immelt took advantage the new "reset economy" to globally expand GE's Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) unit to over 40,000 people in India. Its NBC television network funded a series called "Outsourced" to humorously showcase what happens to off-shored American jobs.
Here at home, Mr. Immelt rearranged GE's affairs to virtually eliminate the stiff corporate taxes most other U.S. corporations will pay for government to be the "regulator; "industry policy champion, a financier, and a key partner" for the benefit of GE.
Mr. Immelt financially expressed his appreciation for the Administration's "interaction between government and business" by directing GE to invest heavily in its MSNBC 24 hour television news unit. Lead commentator, Keith Olbermann, who once donned a mask of Bill O'Reilly at the Television Critics' Association in Hollywood and made a Nazi salute, received a hefty raise from $4 million to $7.5 million a year. His side-kick Chris Matthews, former Chief of Staff for legendary Democratic Speaker of the House Tip O'Neil, also stepped up to a $5 million annual contract.
This is the same Chris Matthews who stated on air that his job at MSNBC is to do everything he can to "help" President Obama succeed. Mr. Matthews added:
"Reagan was all about America, and you talked about it. Obama is, 'We are above that now. We're not just parochial, we're not just chauvinistic, we're not just provincial. We stand for something.' I mean, in a way, Obama's standing above the country, above – above the world. He's sort of God. He's going to bring all different sides together."
The American people should be highly suspect of the intentions of Mr. Immelt as the national point person for jobs and competitiveness. The Obama Administration has bank-rolled GE's continued transformation from a consistently profitable American manufacturer to a predominantly off-shored and spectacularly leveraged financial casino powered by taxpayer dollars. The Administration and Jeffrey Immelt have greatly benefitted from their Crony Capitalism relationship; the American people not so much.

A new pamphlet of poems by 2010 Faber New Poet, Tom Warner, published as number 02 in Egg Box Publishing's F.U.N.E.X. series.
"Tom Warner's work is underpinned by a tough sense of England and its politics. But it is also open to wider worlds. Warner's is a warm, compassionate and very welcome poetry." Alison Brackenbury
"The most traditional of the Faber New Poets, Warner is also the most nuanced and attentive. His unshowy lyrics invariably crystallize around an insight; a moment of laser-beam lucidity." Sarah Crown, Poetry Review.
Tom was born in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, but now lives in Norwich. In 2009-2010, he was Poet in residence to Newark, Nottinghamshire, as part of the Poetry-on-Trent project, supported by the National Lottery through Arts Council England. In preparation for the project, Tom paddled 170 miles down the length of the River Trent in an open canoe.
Tom also won an Eric Gregory Award in 2001, a Faber New Poets Award in 2010, the ink-sweat-and-tears Norfolk Prize in 2009 and 2010, the Escalator Prize in 2011 and the Plough Prize in 2011. A previous pamphlet of Tom's poetry was published by Faber & Faber, in 2010.

Five nonprofit organizations are hoping to turn 11 pounds of catfish, 3,000 pancakes, 90 gallons of chili, six or seven large country hams, dozens of biscuits and gallons of tea and coffee into a tidy sum of cash to support Maury County community projects during this year's Mule Day festival.
Five nonprofit organizations are hoping to turn 11 pounds of catfish, 3,000 pancakes, 90 gallons of chili, six or seven large country hams, dozens of biscuits and gallons of tea and coffee into a tidy sum of cash to support Maury County community projects during this year's Mule Day festival.
And if that menu isn't broad enough, festival participants can shop food concessions by commercial vendors offering Italian sausage and peppers, roasted corn, pizza, philly cheese steaks, onion blossoms, kettle corn, hot apple fritters, funnel cake, ice cream, nachos, lemonade, cotton candy, county ham and, of course, hamburgers and hot dogs. Those proceeds help support the economy.
For those who intend to sample it all — pace yourself.
First up in this four-day smorgasbord is the Ham &White Beans lunch at the Nell Wright Senior Center served most of the day Thursday and Friday.The seniors also will be offering ham and biscuits on Friday and Saturday morning.
Center director Brenda Grimsley said she couldn't even begin to say how many white beans volunteers will cook this year, but "a lot" seems like a pretty good guess. As for the ham — only country ham will do, she said.
"Otherwise you mess up the whole thing," Grimsley said.
Also on Thursday is the Hee-Haw Chili Supper sponsored by the First Methodist Church. Members decided long ago not to fight over who had the best recipe or worry about revealing any secret ingredients.
"Everyone makes their own chili and we dump it all together in huge pots," supper committee co-chair Sydney McClain said. "It's the most delicious chili you've ever tasted."
Members of the Riverside United Methodist Church decided to join the cooking frenzy this year with a fish dinner and bake sale on Friday. Committee Chairwoman Fran May said they expect to feed 300 to 400 people at the afternoon event that will include a performance by the church's own music group, Stevierock and the Blues Connection.
Early birds can fill up on pancakes and sausage at a Saturday morning breakfast sponsored by the Culleoka Lions Club. Members there have been flipping and flapping jacks for nearly 40 years.
"We sometime have a few mule cakes and sometimes they come out looking like tacos," club president Hershel Butler said.
For those who like to sleep in a little bit later on Saturday, folks at the James K. Polk House will be serving Bloody Marys and ham biscuits before the big parade begins at 11 a.m.

Proceeds fund activities supported by the center.

The Blaine City Council Feb. 6 gave three property owners the go-ahead to consider residential instead of commercial developments on 17.61 acres north of the Lakeside Commons Park beach.
This was not the news that neighbors wanted to hear. At a Dec. 10, 2013 Blaine Planning Commission public hearing and council meetings Jan. 2 and Feb. 6, the consistent message from residents was that they had been told before they moved in that these properties would include shops and restaurants once the economy improved.
The council tabled action Jan. 2 to give the neighborhood and property owners more time, but no concrete options have been presented.
"The economics aren't there to make it work," said John Rask, vice president of land development for Hans Hagen Homes, which also received 6-0 council approval Feb. 6 to construct 30 homes on 8.54 acres on the north side of the beach near the volleyball court.
Just across Lakes Parkway is a 4.64-acre parcel owned by Gorham Development, LLC and a 4.43-acre parcel owned by Village Bank. Unlike Hans Hagen Homes, these property owners did not present a specific housing proposal, but all three received 6-0 council approval to amend the city's comprehensive plan to change the land use from neighborhood commercial to low-medium density residential.
Councilmember Kathy Kolb was absent from the Feb. 6 meeting.
Mayor Tom Ryan said it was the council – not city staff – pushing for this commercial area to be included in The Lakes master plan, which anticipated a higher density than what will ultimately be developed.
"I've talked to 50 different developers. They won't touch it. It's too far off the beaten path," Ryan said.
Councilmember Russ Herbst said he was less concerned about the Gorham and Village Bank parcels because they are farther from the beach than the Hans Hagen Homes development.
Planning and Community Development Director Bryan Schafer told the council during a Jan. 16 workshop meeting that a landscaped berm up to 11 feet high in some areas would make it difficult for people on the beach to see the homes. Even a homeowner closest to the beach would have trouble seeing the volleyball court from a second floor window, but they would be treated to a view of the water.
Rask said all homeowners would be made aware of the proximity of the beach. He has already talked to a couple of homeowners who live elsewhere in The Lakes and want to move to this new development.
The property owners closest to the beach have seen the signs announcing that "The Shops at Lakeside Commons" would be "coming soon."
Karen Schommer understands that all three properties will not be commercial, but asked the council to take more time to consider more limited options such as a swimming pool.
Schommer and the mayor got into a discussion at one point.
The mayor said the developer Main Street 1000 had been trying to get commercial users there for 10 years so he feels enough time has passed. He said nobody has brought forward a proposal and an investor.
Residents mentioned different ideas at previous meetings such as a coffee shop, ice cream shop or small restaurant. Schommer was the first to bring up the swimming pool idea, but said funding would have to be found.
Her main point was that residents moving into the neighborhood were sold on the idea that commercial would come and were not notified until about four months ago that this vision may not come true.
"I'm not here to say that having homes in our neighborhood is a bad idea," Schommer said. "We obviously live in a neighborhood and that's what neighborhoods have is homes. But you have to understand that for some years, we have understood and expected that this property was going to be used for something different."
New paved parking lot
Lakeside Commons Park started with a 72-stall paved lot. As the beach became popular, the city four years ago worked out an agreement with Main Street 1000 to lease property for a temporary parking lot that could hold 115 vehicles, according to Nate Monahan, a parks supervisor with the city of Blaine.
Main Street 1000 sold the property to Hans Hagen Homes last fall for the aforementioned 30-home development. The city was able to get 1.5 acres for a new parking lot.
Monahan said the main and overflow parking lots were full on four occasions last year. The overflow lot was used about half of the summer.
A couple of residents questioned the need for so much paved parking space when the overflow lot was only full a few times a year.
"The idea of having a parking lot that is bigger than the park and bigger than the green space is crazy," said Mike Ryan.
City staff first proposed a 125-stall overflow lot, meaning the park would have 197 paved spaces.
Herbst proposed reducing the overflow lot size by 25 spaces, meaning there will be 172 spaces when including both parking lots. Mayor Ryan voted against Herbst's motion because he does not want to see vehicles parking on neighborhood streets.
