NEW DELHI, March 29: The BRICS group of emerging economies said on Thursday it was concerned by excess liquidity in the global financial system caused by the policies of the rich world.
The central banks of the developed economies have slashed interest rates and pumped billions of dollars into the banking system to try to stimulate lending and economic growth.
"Excessive liquidity from the aggressive policy actions taken by central banks to stabilise their domestic economies have been spilling over into emerging market economies," the emerging bloc declared after a summit.
The leaders of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa met in New Delhi on Thursday for their fourth summit.
"We believe that it is critical for advanced economies to adopt responsible macroeconomic and financial policies, avoid creating excessive global liquidity and undertake structural reforms to lift growth that create jobs," they added.
"We draw attention to the risks of large and volatile cross-border capital flows being faced by the emerging economies."
Emerging markets worry that the new cash pumped into the banks of the rich world will slosh around in the global system and end up being used to buy assets in the developing world.
This creates a risk of asset bubbles in recipient countries and volatile changes in exchange rates.
The BRICS alliance — a key non-Western grouping that accounts for about 20 per cent of the world economy — also said it remained "concerned" about global growth.
"We are concerned over the current global economic situation," the group said.
"While the BRICS recovered relatively quickly from the global crisis, growth prospects worldwide have again got dampened by market instability, especially in the eurozone."—AFP

I was told it's not safe to BF if you have food poisoning. Most other illnesses are okay but I'm pretty sure they said no go to food poisoning, it passes through the milk.
I'm pretty sure that as long as the bacteria hasn't entered your bloodstream then breastfeeding is safe. Every time I have been hospitalized with a bfing baby, they were allowed to stay with me.
Oh, and hope you feel better soon!
You probably have the norovirus, not food poisoning. You will start to feel better by about 24 hours and it's usually completely gone by 48 hours. It sucks, but you will survive! Breastfeeding the baby is the best protection you can give, as your breasts produce antibodies specific to whatever germs are in the baby's mouth, as well as to whatever illnesses you have. I've had it twice, six weeks ago and last week. Man it sucks. Just drink gatorade and whine. At least, that's what I did. It's pretty contagious; I hope your LO doesn't get it too.

A THIRD CREW OF ENGINEERS ARRIVESTwelve Men Under the Direction of J. H. ZAHNER Reached the City Today. Establish Camp at Boylston A third party of Northern Pacific engineers, headed by J. H. ZAHNER, arrived in Ellensburg late Friday afternoon to assist in the
preliminary work for the location of the Lind cut-off. There are 12 men in the party which left this afternoon on the Milwaukee east bound
passenger train for a camp located about four miles north of Boylston, the station at the east end of the Johnson Creek tunnel. This camp is about eight or ten miles west of Rye Grass, the camp located by KINNEY. The ZAHNER crew will survey from this camp, which
is near McLENNON's old sheep corral, to Rye Grass. Supplies for ZAHNER are being freighted from this city by wagon. "I guess that the Northern Pacific is not going to take any changes on this crew becoming lost," said a railroad man this afternoon,
"so the men were sent to the camp by the railroad, instead of leaving them to walk as did KINNEY's party." Leland TATE's crew is still working in the vicinity of Ellensburg, eastward from the city limits. As soon as his supply car arrives he
will be located in a camp near the old HAYES ranch, 15 miles east of Ellensburg. He is making his headquarters at present in a local hotel.

...New Model Super Blackhawk. 1st, I'm very well aware of "single action flip", especially with a 44. However, no matter how I load the silly thing it always wants to shoot a couple inches high at 25yds. The rear sight is as far down as it will go. Are there any taller after-market front sight blades available that don't require a smith to install? The blade seems to be held in place by an itsy-bitsy, teeny-weeny pin. My only other option would be to start aiming lower. Or am I doing something wrong?:confused: I'd appreciate any help.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- General Motors Co. (GM) climbed 1% to $40.45 on Monday morning after the company's Chevrolet brand won the 2014 North American Car of the Year and North American Truck of the Year awards.
The Corvette Stingray sports car won the North American Car of the Year Award, while the Silverado pickup, the full-sized truck that is one of GM's most profitable autos, won the North American Truck of the Year at the Detroit auto show. GM had not won both awards since 2007, and Ford (F) was the last company to sweep the awards in 2010 with the Transit Connect van and the Fusion sedan.
The Corvette Stingray defeated GM's Cadillac CTS and Mazda Motor Corp.'s Mazda3. The Silverado beat out Honda Motor Co.'s Acura MDX and Chrysler Group LLC's Jeep Cherokee.
Mary Barra, who takes over as CEO of GM on Jan. 15 after Dan Akerson retires, called the win "very significant," according to Bloomberg.
"I hope that people look, and if they haven't considered General Motors or Chevrolet they'll get into the showroom, because I'm confident if they get into the showroom they're going to see a lot of vehicles they like," Barra said.
TheStreet Ratings company team rates General Motors as a "buy" with a ratings score of B. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation:
"We rate GENERAL MOTORS CO (GM) a BUY. This is driven by a number of strengths, which we believe should have a greater impact than any weaknesses, and should give investors a better performance opportunity than most stocks we cover. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, solid stock price performance, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures and good cash flow from operations. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had sub par growth in net income."

Without Notice, Elderly Veteran Taken From His Home
When Cheri Jensen looked into assisted living placements for her 78-year-old uncle last fall, she sought assistance from the Iowa Department of Human Services. But asking for help might have cost her more than she bargained for.
Danny Wilcox Frazier
Although Jensen has power of attorney for Bob Queener, she says, DHS officials visited his home to evaluate him without her knowledge, obtained a court order and removed Queener from his home last December without telling his family.
Queener was confined to a psychiatric facility, and a court-appointed conservator liquidated nearly everything in his home, including family photos and his Korean War uniform.
Jensen says her uncle has some dementia, but there was no reason for an emergency removal; he still cared for himself and maintained his home independently.
Nearly eight months later, Jensen and state Sen. Dennis Black were named Queener's co-guardians. Since then, 13 families have approached Black seeking help for family members in similar situations.
"I cannot believe that our elderly are being treated this way by people who are supposed to be taking care of them," Black says.
Vern Armstrong, a DHS administrator, says he can't comment specifically about Queener, who is now in a nursing home, but the department relies on medical professionals' advice when making placement decisions.
What happens after a person is removed? That's up to a court-appointed guardian or conservator, Armstrong says.

It was 15 years in the making, but as of Saturday afternoon, 250 handwritten letters from World War II finally made their way home to the family of the two soldiers, also brothers, who wrote them.
"Oh, it was just the perfect way to spend our Memorial Day weekend," said Teri Winnett, 58, of Kingsland, Texas. Winnett and her brother, Mike Harvill, are the children of Eural Harvill, one of the soldiers who penned the sentimental letters as correspondence with his family from 1940 to 1946.

It was not quite exactly the same as 2006, but it was not far off as Tiger Woods returned to major championship action in the Open at Royal Liverpool.
Eight years ago Woods started the defence of his title with a 67 and went on to lift the Claret Jug for the third time, despite the distractions from spectators' cameras which led to a ban the following year.
In 2014 he started with a 69 and was again moved to complain about the photography of amateurs and professionals alike, most notably being forced to stop midway through his downswing on his second shot to the 18th.
"There were a lot of cameras and we were backing off a lot of shots, it was tough," Woods said. "Unfortunately people don't put the phones on silent and some of the professional guys were getting on the trigger a little early."
Mobile phones and other devices were allowed back into the Open in 2012 and the R&A have installed a "Wi-Fi mesh" around the course to allow spectators to use them to keep up to date with the action.
Asked if catering to spectators in this manner was something of a double-edged sword, Woods added: "Just put it on silent. I've had numerous years of dealing with this. There's a lot of moving parts out there. And you've just got to stay focused and plod my way around."
In a statement, R&A executive director of championships Johnnie Cole-Hamilton said: "We are delighted to have big crowds here enjoying the golf and I know there are many fans here who are experiencing the Open for the first time this week.
"We urge them and all our spectators to keep their phones on silent and remind them that taking photographs on Championship days is not permitted."
Woods could certainly have had far bigger problems than a few distractions, dropping a shot on the first after finding an awkward lie in a greenside bunker which meant he could not keep his third shot on the green.
He then three-putted the second from long range and had to hole from eight feet on the fourth to avoid another bogey, before getting back on track with a birdie on the par-five fifth.
The 38-year-old then carded a hat-trick of birdies from the 11th and recovered from a bogey on the 14th with birdies on the 15th and 16th, the latter hole seeing him hit driver for the only time all day - just as he did in the first round in 2006 for the only time in 72 holes.
"I knew I could do it," said Woods, who was absent from the first two majors of the season after undergoing back surgery on March 31. "That's why it was so important for me to play at Congressional.
"The fact that I was able to recover every day, and the fact that I was stronger, more explosive the more days I played... I'm only going to get better from that point. I'm getting stronger, I'm getting faster, I'm getting more explosive. The ball is starting to travel again. And those are all positive things.
"It felt good to be back out there competing again. It wasn't exactly the best start but I still had four par fives to play. I still had a couple of the short holes. I'm not going to be the only guy in a 72-hole event to make two bogeys."

More than a thousand games are left to be played this season, of course, but Bob Hartley's phenomenal job in lifting the Atlanta Thrashers near the top of the NHL standings in the face of tragedy will be hard to top when coach of the year ballots are cast.
Before the car accident that killed Thrashers forward Dan Snyder and seriously injured forward Dany Heatley, a breakthrough season was expected in Atlanta because Hartley had steered the team to a 19-15-5 record after taking over in January.

Is it a deal-breaker, or is she sabotaging her relationship?
Q: I've been with "John" for two years. For the most part, our relationship is everything I wanted. Every now and then, though, I pick up on things that really irritate me. For example, he really enjoys a comedian whose act is completely awful (in my opinion), with all the racist, blue humor you can pack into it. I really don't like anything that comes out of this comedian's mouth, and when I try to explain why, my boyfriend just says, "Yeah, but it's funny and no one else says it."
I completely judge him for liking this humor. Then I argue with myself that I'm too sensitive or trying to sabotage my relationship. John is otherwise a very nice person and treats me very well. I admit I lack self-confidence. In some ways I don't feel "good enough" for him. Do you think it's possible for someone like me to want to subconsciously end this relationship to "get it over with"?
A: It's possible. We subconsciously talk ourselves into and out of things all the time — a process usually set in motion by a truth we wish would just go away, something we prefer to banish from conscious thought.
In your case, it sounds as if you're talking yourself both into and out of John. That would make sense, though, since it sounds as if you have two truths you wish would go away: that you don't trust John, and you don't trust yourself.
As for trusting John: You say he appreciates the comedy because "no one else says it." Some people wouldn't say "it" because they don't believe "it" — assuming "it" is some politically incorrect line of thinking. Others are quiet because they believe "it" completely, but have learned there's big trouble in saying so out loud.
You already know from John's behavior in other situations which is true about him. It's human nature to want to share what we believe and why, and why we're right; even when we're trying to be discreet, people have tells, John included.
If you've seen hatred in John, his treating you "very well" doesn't supersede that; people are rarely one clear thing or another. The trick is to identify things that do matter, to you, so you aren't sidetracked by small things that don't.
Conveniently, this is also the path to trusting your judgment.
You, like John, are emitting your true feelings in spite of yourself. When those feelings don't fit the narrative you had in mind — say, you've envisioned marrying someone, while your feelings are telling you you're unhappy — then your mind starts searching for explanations that will keep your vision intact. "I just need X to change," say, or "He's especially stressed lately." Your mind takes your unhappiness and puts a palatable spin on it.
To be more confident in your choices, make a conscious effort to work from your raw feelings, the ones that haven't been processed yet by the rationalization factory. Train your attention on your everyday life, at home, at work, at play, at rest, alone, with John, with friends. Start naming your feelings and connecting cause to effect.
It's not a perfect system; you'll still make mistakes, feel confused, maybe even need help. Identifying feelings just helps you get off to an uncluttered start.

Bank ownership and productivity developments: evidence from Turkey
Purpose - This paper analyzes the responsiveness of different ownership forms to changing business environment by drawing on Turkish experience. Design/methodology/approach - This study is conducted in two stages. In the first stage, the paper uses Malmquist index theory, to estimate the total factor productivity change, technological change, efficiency change, pure efficiency change and scale efficiency change indexes for the Turkish banks. In the second stage, utilizing the generalized least regression format, it examines the significance of the productivity differences between different ownership forms after controlling for size and changes in the macro-economy. Findings - Under the "traditional banking definition," productivity growth during the period was 1.2 percent for state banks, 3.9 percent for private banks and 14.2 percent for foreign banks. Under the "non-traditional banking definition," the productivity gain over the period was 2.9 percent for state banks, 9.5 percent for private banks and 17.0 percent for foreign banks. Research limitations/implications - The future research can extend the data set and may include more explanatory factors to characterize the bank forms that record the fastest productivity growth. Practical implications - Private ownership appears to be more adaptive to new environment. Foreign banks can be used as a policy instrument to induce efficiency and productivity improvements in local banking industries. Liberalization of markets through competition boosts economic performance. Originality/value - In analyzing impacts of reforms, the significance of inter-temporal change should be tested to better guide regulators, investors and managers.

Fremont, CA, United States, 2012/07/31 - Oracle and Infosys announced that Fayetteville Public Works Commission (FPWC) has selected a broad footprint of Oracle applications and technology solutions, along with Infosys implementation expertise. NYSE, NASDAQ: ORCL
Oracle and Infosys today announced that Fayetteville Public Works Commission (FPWC) which provides electricity, water and wastewater services to approximately 110,000 customers in the City of Fayetteville, N.C. and surrounding areas within the county has selected a broad footprint of Oracle applications and technology solutions, along with Infosys implementation expertise, to improve customer service and support smart grid initiatives.
The utility, which is updating its business systems as part of a broader transformation initiative to enhance operational efficiency, selected Oracle Utilities Customer Care and Billing, Oracle Utilities Mobile Workforce Management, Oracle Utilities Work and Asset Management, the Oracle E-Business Suite, Oracle Hyperion Planning, Oracle Hyperion Financial Data Management, Oracle Business Intelligence, Oracle Fusion Middleware and Oracle Database. FPWC will implement the Oracle solutions simultaneously and launch the applications in multiple phases.
With Oracle Utilities Work and Asset Management, Oracle Utilities Mobile Workforce Management and the Oracle E-Business Suite solutions, FPWC hopes to improve communication between customer service representatives, dispatchers and technicians ultimately boosting workforce productivity and reducing operating expenses while helping eliminate missed appointments, service backlogs and overtime costs.
Additionally, FPWC hopes to improve the availability of historical asset data and secure real-time, enterprise-wide visibility into the type, location and condition of its assets such as electric transformers and water and wastewater pipes to help maximize operational efficiency and make better strategic capital investment decisions.
The implementation of Oracle Utilities Customer Care and Billing will provide FPWC with a complete view of customer data, helping to streamline billing processes and enable more responsive customer service. FPWC also hopes to improve the information it presents to its customers on monthly bills and through its Web self-service offering.
The Oracle solutions will also enable FPWC to more quickly and easily adapt to an increasingly complex and expanding regulatory and compliance environment (i.e. North American Electric Reliability Corporation, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, North Carolina Utilities Commission and other regulatory boards including cyber security and related standard/regulation enforcement agencies).
FPWC is working with Infosys, a Diamond level member of Oracle PartnerNetwork (OPN), on the implementation. The Diamond level distinction, the highest membership level in OPN, recognizes the expertise of Infosys with Oracle solutions and its ability to consult and deploy Oracle technologies for clients globally.

FBI Notice Regarding GPal
The FBI has included a description of GPal in it's latest "Scam Alerts" newsletter. Here's the GPal section:
Payment Processor Possibly Conducting a Ponzi Scheme
Since January 2010, the IC3 has received hundreds of complaints regarding a website that victims reportedly used to transfer money for the sales of firearms; however, the website has not allowed them to withdraw the funds after their merchandise was sold.
The website claims to be a payment processor to be used as an alternative to other familiar online payment transfer services and was created to allow for the purchase of items that others of its kind do not allow (e.g., firearms). The website encourages consumers to use their services by advertising that they send money to consumers or anyone with an email address, an individual can easily pay for anything using the web, and sign-up is free, quick, and easy.
The website appears to have been set up as a legitimate business but shortly after operations began, customers started experiencing funding delays. Ultimately, customers who received funds only received partial payments, and those payments were delayed by months.
Additional research indicates that the money submitted for transfer may have been fraudulently misappropriated. This scam appears to have become a Ponzi scheme with previous customers being paid by funds from new customers.
The FBI is comfortable calling GPal a Ponzi scheme. Not good for those of us still out money.

Wilkinson family cabin purchased by great-aunts in 1912
The big party at Juniper Ridge on July 21 won't be a potluck.
Margie and Pete Wilkinson, and Margie's brothers Bill and Dick Geib, are celebrating 100 years at 7341 North Shore Trail on Forest Lake.
"It's a thank you," Margie said. "The purpose of our 100th anniversary celebration is to honor and thank the people who made it possible for us to be here, and to return year after year."
Over the years, she said, people lent them stuff, neighbors served as handymen, and grocers accepted their personal checks from California. All these people have been invited to the celebration next Saturday.
Four generations have owned the 12-acre property on the north shore of Forest Lake, yet no family member has ever lived there year-round.
The cabin was built in the 1870s and purchased in 1912 by two sisters, Bridget and Margaret Phelan. They were Margie Wilkinson's great-aunts.
Bridget and Margaret were single, but their three other sisters were married. "The beginning of our family story in Forest Lake," Margie Wilkinson said, "is the story of the generosity of unmarried sisters who bought the place so their nieces and nephews could come out and play."
"Great-Aunt Bridget was quite something," Margie said. The family was living near Dubuque, Iowa, when the young parents of the five girls died. Bridget raised the family and ran the house, she explained.
Bridget became the principal of the Longfellow private school in the Summit Avenue area. She went to summer school at Harvard. With her sister Margaret, she traveled to Russia.
Margaret and Bridget are both buried in St. Paul across the driveway from Archbishop John Ireland, a major figure in St. Paul history.
The family story during the next 100 years is rich with higher education and career success, with plenty of lawyers and several people named Dick or Margaret. It's a fascinating story (worth keeping track of the names).
Second Generation
One of the five sisters, Alice Phelan, was Margie's grandmother. Alice married Denis Sullivan from County Kerry, Ireland, who came to this country at age 16.
Denis and Alice Sullivan had three children: son Richard in 1901, daughter Alice in 1904, and daughter Margaret in 1905. Of the three, only Margaret married. Margaret was Margie's mother.
"So our family owns the property because that uncle and aunt never married," she explained.
Margie said her mother visited the Forest Lake summer home as a child when her family lived in Chicago. When she was 14, her mother's family moved to St. Paul.
Third Generation
Margie's mother and father attended Central High School in St. Paul. Her mother was a University of Minnesota graduate. Her father, Philip Geib, got an undergraduate degree in law (there was no UM law school at the time).
While looking for a job after the war in Europe, Margie said, her father saw "all the lawyers are poor," so he went into banking, working at First National Bank in St. Paul.
She remembers her father, whose ancestry was half Irish and half German, calling the Irish "all sail and no rudder."
The four Geib children were Philip Jr., Dick, Bill, and Margie. The family lived in Philadelphia, then moved to California in 1959.
When Margie and her siblings came to the summer house on Forest Lake, she said, it was a retreat: a center of healing, rest, and fun.
Visitors made things more formal–the kids had to dress up–so her mother preferred to have no phone, she said. There was also no TV, unless someone borrowed one for important news. The kids learned to play bridge.
When Margie was a girl, her mother's brother, Dick Sullivan, expanded the property. To protect the value of their lake properties, Sullivan and next-door neighbor Bill Anderson (Anderson Hall at the University of Minnesota is named for him) bought land across North Shore Trail.
So now the house has not only 550 feet of lakefront, with woods on both sides, but also the woods across the road.
Margie said Dick Sullivan was a lawyer who clerked for Pierce Butler, U.S. Supreme Court Justice from Minnesota. Sullivan was a friend of Arthur Fleming, Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare in the Eisenhower administration and president of Macalester College.
Uncle Dick, who eventually settled in Manhattan, was an important influence in Margie's childhood.
She now realizes, she said, that "When we had evening prayer, Uncle Dick was teaching us how to speak." Visiting Calvary Cemetery in St. Paul was an opportunity for him and his sisters to teach family history.
Uncle Dick also brought back from Manhattan a game for them to play: The Murder Game. "You found out your part four or five hours earlier," Margie said. "The trial was in the living room. Bill Anderson was always the judge. Only the murderers could lie on the stand."
When Sullivan died in 1970, the family was invited to dinner at the Macalester College president's house.
When they grew up, Margie's brothers became a doctor (Philip), a lawyer (Dick), and a priest (Bill). Margie got a BA in history from Stanford in 1966 and an MA in theology from Notre Dame in 1967.
"My four years in college were same time as the Vatican II Council," she said: "Antediluvian times for lay ministry in the Roman Catholic Church." She found a job as instructor in theology at a Catholic women's college in Washington, D.C.
A later job was program director at the Newman Center, the Roman Catholic Community at the University of Minnesota. There she scheduled courses, taught seminars, planned retreats, and wrote liturgy.
Margie eventually studied law at Berkeley. She is now a retired attorney.
Her husband Pete studied law at Stanford, then spent most of his career in the California Attorney General's Office. From 1971 to 2001 Pete was an appellate prosecutor in the criminal section.
Pete and Margie live in Piedmont, California.
Cabin and Cottages
A hunting cabin by the lake when it was built in the 1870s, the original structure had two rooms on the second story and no basement.
Before the Phelan sisters bought the lake property in 1912, the previous owner was a doctor from Iowa, Leopold Metzger. The doctor's wife had a doll collection in the wood-paneled room of a building on the west side, so that building was called the doll house. Porches were built around it, and it had an outhouse.
Also on the west was the barn for the horses. Located near the present garage, the barn had its own well and outhouse. Margie said they fetched barn water for drinking because it tasted better than water from the house well.
Two buildings east of the house also had outhouses. One, the gazebo, was a tea house, open to the public. "We have a guest book from the 1920s," Margie said. When it was moved to the ridge, the tea house was closed and the gazebo became a rental cottage.
The boathouse was also moved to the ridge, and sleeping areas were added.
While the family spent summers in the house, the cottages were rented to other families. The family referred to the cottages as "the Lee house" and "the Sundberg house," she recalls.
The cottages were torn down when the community sewer went in.
In the 1950s and 1960s, Margie remembers, the main house had a kitchen, an indoor bathroom, two bedrooms, two rooms upstairs, a porch by the front door and one facing the lake.
There was no tub. "We took our baths in the lake," she said. The house was not winterized.
In 1983 renovation began. Margie said she met the contractor, Rick Reuter of Minneapolis, when he was a graduate student in German at the University of Minnesota.
The original cabin was preserved and became the living room. When they oiled the wood, Margie said, "it just shone."
Rooms that had been added on to the cabin were torn off and new rooms put in their place.
The old porch on the south, facing the lake, had a raised roof. The new south porch got a flat roof so the upstairs window above it could be replaced with French doors opening to a deck. Two bedrooms are upstairs.
The new porch on the west, a large room with views of the lake and woods, has a dramatic high ceiling for a spacious lodge feel. A dining room table in the center makes a good place to gather.
To match the high ceiling of the west porch, the new master bedroom also has a vaulted ceiling.
The original cabin, now the living room, was raised and a laundry room was added underneath.
Weekend plans
In addition to local friends, people who rented the cottages in past years are invited to attend Saturday.
The Wilkinson's two sons, David and John, will be there, playing soccer on the lawn.
Their daughter, who's expecting her second child, can't make it, so she came earlier this summer with her first child.
Now here's the tricky part: Margie's daughter is also named Margaret. And her granddaughter!
That makes for five Margarets in five generations: Great-Aunt Margaret, Peggy (Great-Aunt Margaret's niece and the mother of Margie), current owner Margie, Margie's daughter Meg, and Meg's daughter Daisy.
And like Margie's uncle Dick, Margie's brother Dick, Margie's husband Pete and Margie herself, Meg is also a lawyer: Stanford undergrad, Berkeley law school, works for downtown law firm in San Francisco.
Other relatives expected to attend are the Kerwin and Donohue families. A relative who owns a restaurant, Justin Grecco, will cater the event.
Former renters invited to the festivities include the Larsons, who now live on 235th. The families of neighborly handyman Keith Mielke and friendly grocers Ray Houle and Tom Ersfeld are also invited.
Minneapolis contractor Rick Reuter, Margie's friend from her University of Minnesota days who handled the renovation, is coming.
After the celebration on Saturday, a smaller family gathering on Sunday will include mass on the front yard, with the family planning the liturgy and picking the readings.

Prompt and proper treatment can effectively manage the symptoms of gout. Gout is a form of arthritis that usually attacks the joints of the big toes in middle aged men but it can also affect women in the same way and can spread to other joints of the body including the fingers, the ankles, the wrists, the elbows and the knee. Immediately thereafter, any and all swelling and irritations in and around the joints and along the skin will be examined.

Foods high in potassium such as potatoes, bananas, leafy green vegetables, beans and raw vegetable juices are beneficial for gout treatment.
Gout treatment normally begins with alteration of the diet. How does obesity contribute to gout risk? Think about it, people who are obese, or considerably overweight, usually lead a sedentary lifestyle, have a diet rich in fatty foods, alcohol and caffeinated beverages that are dehydrating. Causes of Gout: Gout is caused due to the consumption of alcohol in large quantity. Before going into gout diet foods, let's look at what causes gout. Uric acid is a normal chemical formed by the breakdown of purines, which in turn are an important component of the human body.

Well, there are several ways that can cause high levels of uric acid in the body. Home natural gout treatments can become very efficient; however, if the gout indications never decrease within 4-5 days, or even the pain continue to return regardless of using alternative therapies, make sure to consult with a physician. This article is going to discuss the gout foods that you should eat, and the other foods that should be avoided to reduce your symptoms. Learning the gout foods which are safe to eat will go a long way in helping your condition.

At Haringey's Full Council meeting tonight, Liberal Democrat councillors will propose a motion that the Council should oppose plans by the Government to phase out the pension book as a method of pension collection. Pension books, which are used by over 8,600 older people in Haringey, are to be ended by 2005 as the Government-imposed timetable of change takes affect. The Lib Dems are concerned that people who are happy with the books are being forced to change to alternatives that are complicated and confusing.
The plan by the Government is to replace the pension book with three alternative ways by whichthe elderly can receive their pension:
·Into a normal bank or building society account
·Into a new basic bank account
·Through a new Post Office Card Account
The Lib Dems are unhappy that the pension book has not been allowed to remain alongside the new systems. They are also concerned about aspects of the alternative means of payment and will ask the Council to raise the matter with the Government.
The main concern that will be raised by Highgate councillor Neil Williams when he proposes this motion, is the complexity of the application process for the Card Account. The applicant will have to make at least one phone call, fill out two forms and visit the post office before their application is complete. Cllr Williams is also concerned about pensioners who forget their new card PIN numbers. There is currently no way that a pensioner can access their money without a PIN.
Cllr Williams hopes to have the full support from both sides of the chamber. He says that this motion's aim is to ensure that the elderly in Haringey do not have to worry about how to claim their pension.
Cllr Neil Williams (Highgate) comments:
"The Government has made a decision without assessing the worry and stress that these changes will have on much of our elderly population. Over 40% of pensioners in Haringey use the pension book. These are not changes that will effect a small minority, but a huge section of our elderly population, especially in the east of the borough."
Cllr Peter Floyd, of Crouch End, who will second the motion, adds:
"I am also concerned that pensioners face further problems with the closure of post office branches in the borough. Two within Haringey have already gone, and others near the borough have also closed, with further major closures in the pipeline. This is a further attack on pensioners' ability to receive payments in ways which are familiar to them."

PARIS (Jun. 14)
Israeli Defense Minister Yitzhak Rabin made a goodwill gesture before leaving France on Wednesday. It was apparently intended to ease the strains that have developed in Franco-Israel relations since the French invited Yasir Arafat here for an official visit last month.
But at the same time, Rabin reportedly refused to receive a verbal message from the Palestine Liberation Organization leader conveyed by Marie-Claire Mendes-France, widow of the late French Jewish premier.
Rabin spent three days in Paris, mainly to attend the annual air show at Le Bourget. He had meetings with Prime Minister Michel Rocard and Defense Minister Jean-Pierre Chevenement.
President Francois Mitterrand, still smoldering over the way he was vilified for receiving Arafat, refused to meet with Rabin.
But the defense minister, acceding to the personal request of the president's wife, ordered the release of Terry Boulatta, a Palestinian woman held in custody in Israel for alleged membership in a terrorist organization. She will come to Paris for medical treatment.
But it may take more than such courtesies to thaw Israel's relations with the Elysee Palace.
If Israel was angered by Mitterrand's official invitation to "a terrorist," the president was more than irked by the fierce reaction of the local Jewish community, which he reportedly is convinced, was instigated by the Israeli Embassy here.
Mitterrand also was said to be upset by Israel's refusal to receive the French ambassdor for a briefing on Arafat's meetings in Paris on May 2 and 3.
The Israelis, in fact, declined French Foreign Minister Roland Dumas offer to come to Jerusalem personally to brief Israeli Foreign Minister Moshe Arens on Arafat's remarks while in France.
Mendes-France, who sympathizes with both Israel and the Palestinian cause, met with Rabin on Tuesday and conveyed a message from Arafat saying that he would like to meet with the defense minister. Mendes-France had met with Arafat in Tunis last Friday.
Rabin replied that he did not want to receive the message "officially," according to a report Wednesday in the Israeli daily Yediot Achronot.
"As far as we know, Yitzhak Rabin is not the first minister to receive a personal message from Arafat," the paper wrote.
"But Rabin is the first minister to confirm publicly receipt of this message although in his words, he refused to receive it officially."
The newspaper questioned the difference between hearing a message and receiving one "officially."
Boulatta, who suffers from a serious liver ailment, has been held in custody for over a year without trial on suspicion of membership in the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine, a terrorist faction of the PLO headed by Nayef Hawatmeh.
In Israel, the Defense Ministry said Rabin acted at "the personal request of Mrs. Danielle Mitterrand," the wife of the French president.

Hello, I'm planning to build some kind of simple object oriented database and came across PostgreSQL because of it's nearly unlimited ways of extensibility. The documentation is really good an I learned a lot about composite datatypes, how to program them in c, create indices ... from the "Server Programming" section of the "Developer Manual". The problem in my case is that I don't know the names of the attributes beforehand so I can't do a table bases mapping with one table for each type of object ("class"). So I thought It would maybe be possible to store the objects always in the same composed datatype - with "dynamic member fields". Ok this may be completely insane but ... Maybe you could just tell me if it's worth to dig deeper. Robert Staudinger

She'll be coming back to sing the National Anthem at the Mizzou vs. Alabama game Saturday. As we try to work out a quick visit with Sara, we recall other conversations we've had with her about the Tigers & the Tide!
The first was in April of 2010 after her marriage to former 'Bama quarterback Jay Barker. At the time we were seeing lots of pictures of Sara in a red jersey, so we wanted to remind her of her roots!
Then fast-forward to Novemeber of 2011 and we were visiting with Sara again. At this time there was talk of Mizzou joining the SEC, but nothing official. So we talked about the possibility of a MU vs. Alabama game in the future.
This picture from Nov. of 2001 has nothing to do with the post. It's just funny that Sara's hair, and the hair in Scotty's beard are both different colors now…

Gym étiquette When Lifting
Lets Max Something!
There have been some instances lately that left me unsettled. This is in regards to when someone is lifting weight and what others are doing around them. Any lift over 80% is going to start taking more and more focus. If this focus is broken, the lift is probably lost, which is usually going to leave that lifter upset. You don't want to be the reason they are upset. Lets go over some general ground rules for things that would lead to breaking a lifters concentration:
1) BEING in front of them. This one annoys me the most. It isn't about walking around in front of them, if you are within 10-15 feet of being in front of them, in their field of view, you are probably distracting the lifter in some way. You HAVE to pay attention to whats going on around you in the gym, if someone is about to back squat 500#, don't stand 5 feet in front of them staring at them, you are not going to help them make the lift, you are more than likely causing them to miss it.
2) Being loud and obnoxious. Because we have multiple senses. Vision is now out of the way, if you aren't in front of someone, then they can't see you, so you can't be visually distracting. But if you are talking about your favorite TV show 5 feet behind them, you are probably just as distracting if not more. Whatever you have to say can wait 5 minutes, unless if you are bringing up a safety concern to the lifter.
RESPECT the training Environment
I've continued to say this time and time again. You don't have to be quiet as a mouse, you just need to learn the difference between being a distraction and being encouraging. Getting people fired up for a lift is great. Next time you are in the gym, do your best to look around and notice what is going on. This will not only help you navigate the gym in a safer manner, but will also help every lifter around you hit those big PR's they were warming up for.
~Coach Serious….is serious about letting people focus on their heavy lifts!

I'm definitely guilty of #1, point taken.
Rebecca MacQuarrie
I'd like to offer an alternate opinion on this one. While I'm all for respecting one another in the gym, whether someone is lifting or doing a metcon, the reality of CFB is that it's about GROUP fitness–if you're someone who gets distracted by people in your line of site or people talking, perhaps group fitness isn't for you. Additionally, with all the emphasis on being prepared for the unknown and unknowable, shouldn't the group aspect be something that we embrace? Learning how to focus internally when there are distracting external factors is a good skill that crossfit can help with–and goes toward the goal of preparing people to overall perform better in life.
Looks like Rebecca beat me to the comment page after pointing out this post to me…
So, sometimes I really like gym etiquette posts and sometimes not so much. This one doesn't feel very constructive, but I really do support the message Tapply. To give perspective, I enjoy Neal yelling 'have some fucking consideration!!' at someone passing dangerously close to a person mid-lift. I love Julie shushing people talking loudly right beside someone prepping a lift. (ie: 'shut the god-damn fuck up!' – followed by death stare. These reminders, while rough, stick with people and are situational – that's important! What I am not fond of is a sweeping declaration. CFB is small. A lift done facing any way other than the wall is going to have multiple people within a 15 foot radius. Invariably, others working out are going to be talking about their favorite TV show. Both things come with group fitness, especially the social conversation. An individual lifting has to be capable of a level of focus to deal with that reality. Hence my aversion to a sweeping declaration. That said, I am at on board stepping up the etiquette at CFB and will certainly lend a hand speaking up when I see others distracting a lifter visually or audibly.
Maybe I got overly specific with examples, but we are both referring to the same stuff here Austin. Crowds aren't distracting in a competition for the unknown and unknowable because its such white noise it really doesn't end up being a distraction. In this case I was referring to the same stuff you just hinted at. People being way too close to a lifter to be safe or just being obnoxiously loud to the point where Coach Julie has to remind them to STFU. Its just a common courtesy in group fitness that some people may not be aware of if they have never been in an olympic lifting environment. I wouldn't say that anyone could ever be distracting during a metcon, your world is usually so destroyed in a hard met con, a person could be jumping around in a clown suit in front of you and you wouldn't notice.
Yup Tap. Writing a post to members you need to be too nice,figuring out a blanket statement conveying what you mean without sounding like a douche, etc. Unfortunately, after that effort I feel the individuals you really want to reach stop reading because they don't want to hear it. At the gym I think you guys should lay in to people. I mentioned Julie and Neal because they both choose 'teachable moments' to blow up on someone, sacrificing one animal for the good of the herd, so to speak. (ie:shitting on someone publicly making a point to the group). I like that. Works great for me.
