Dropping from the sky
Like flakes of soap,
Big heavy chunks
Like frozen leaves
Or pieces of poems.
Dropping like wings of small birds
Like thick onion skins
That freeze their own tears,
Like bits of alabaster flesh
Searching for bone,
Like sugar cubes or lily petals,
Like clumps of feathers or dandelions.
Crumbs of white bread.
The dust of clouds.
Snow falls because it cannot rise,
Cannot bend its knees,
Spread its wings.
It has no arms and cannot
Climb the thin threads
It leaves streaming from the sky.
The more it falls, the more
It remembers its absence of rising.
To descend is not to ascend.
And not to ascend is to fall.
And to fall is to lose.
Snow is tired of losing.
Snow wants to watch TV on Sunday,
Wants to hibernate in the winter,
Wants to wear glasses
And put on a tie,
Wants to learn to tell time.
Snow wants to eat Bar-B-Q ribs,
And listen to Elgar,
Wants to kiss a man or a woman,
Wants to wonder about God.
It so happens that
Snow wants to be rain:
Wants to dance on leaves when they're green,
To be made love in,
To fall on alfalfa and corn stalks,
To make noise when it lands
Or to remain on clothes,
And slide down buildings or bodies,
To feel like the ocean.
Snow is ready for water.
Snow wants to keep flowing.
But instead it must remain snow,
Must wait for December,
And dream of Rangoon,
Must disappear inside
The brown of its shell.
It must swallow its own voice.
Snow must continue to fall on clothes
Left out on the line,
On underwear and workshirts,
And must wait for the moment to melt.
When it slides to grass the color of sky
In big heavy drops, salty as tears.

In the case of Girish R Deshpande vs Central Information Commissioner, the Supreme Court order, passed by a division bench of Dipak Misra and KS Radhakrishnan, states that income tax returns, assets, liabilities, official orders and performance records of public officers are personal information and can be exempted under Section 8(1)(j) of the RTI Act of 2005. The provision exempts from disclosure any personal information that does not serve a larger public interest, or when it can result in the invasion of a person's privacy. But the broad interpretation of this clause has weakened the RTI Act, allowing authorities to withhold information and protect public officials from public scrutiny.
In August 2013, the department of personnel and training, or DoPT—the nodal agency that implements the RTI act—issued an office memorandum stating that complaints against officials and the action taken against them comes under the category of personal information and is therefore exempt from disclosure under the RTI act. "This office memorandum is the single most problem faced by every information commissioner in the country," Sridhar Acharyulu, a former central information commissioner, said. "The CIC can't even take action against information officers for denying information because they are quoting the DoPT order. If the government is sincere about implementing transparency in public offices, the office memorandum should be withdrawn."
The DoPT memorandum drew primarily on the Desphande order. According to Acharyulu, Gandhi's request is only one among lakhs of RTI requests and thousands of appeals that have been similarly rejected citing the Deshpande order. Yet, legal experts, former information commissioners and RTI activists I spoke to said that the order violates the RTI act and goes against the guarantee of information derived from Article 19 of the constitution...
Despite such Supreme Court orders, Venkatesh Nayak, an RTI activist, noted that the DoPT is more enthusiastic about choosing court orders which are beneficial to public officers. "The judgments by the Supreme Court and high courts promoting the RTI and expanding transparency are not being translated into office memorandums," Nayak said. Read the full story.

a beautiful dream...
Dreaming is the subjective experience of remembered and imaginary images, sounds/voices, words, thoughts or sensations during sleep, with the dreamer usually not being able to influence the experience.
can you remember the most beautiful dream you've ever had or ever remember? i had mine last night... it may not be the most beautiful one that i have.. but so far from what i can remember, it is. its not always that i can remember my dream also.
i dreamt of gaving birth to a baby. it was not just shown in my dream what's the baby's sex though. but! guess what? i didn't experience the labor. my friends have been asking me how do i feel, was it painful? but... i just fell asleep and when i woke up, i am no longer pregnant. hehehe.. weird hey! but it was a normal delivery. anyway, that was just a dream...
well, my dream was influenced by my thought before going to sleep. i have been sms-ing Megs, my friend in bacolod, who just gave birth to a baby boy. her second child. she was telling me that she really didn't have the hard time because her labor was just for more than an hour, though the baby is big.
but, yeah, i do want to have a painless delivery, incase. hehehe. i am afraid of pain. chris is really aware of that, right Honey? i cant tolerate so much pain.
i have been telling Chris that i wish to have twins so it will be a one time labor.. hehehe! hope the babies will not kick-out at the same time.. =) but i wish to have a baby soon!

Medical ID bracelets save lives. They alert paramedics, EMTs, and other medical personnel to a patient's medical or allergic conditions, allowing them to administer proper treatment in the event of an emergency. If you have certain medical conditions, wearing an ID can help prevent drug interactions, misdiagnoses and improper treatments.
Key Information
There are four pieces of critical information that should be included on all personalized medical ID bracelets. It's important to include the patient's name, diagnosis, any known allergies, and an emergency contact. This is all the information needed. To protect the patient's privacy, don't include his or her address or social security number.
Use the Back of the Bracelet
Some people don't like to have their personal information on display, so they choose to put their name and emergency contact on the back of the bracelet and their medical condition on the front. Medical personnel will probably know to check both sides of the bracelet, but it's a good idea to have the words, "See Other Side" engraved on the front.
Ask Your Doctor for Advice
Ask your doctor for help with deciding what information to include on your personalized medical ID bracelets. You probably know what to have engraved, but it doesn't hurt to get a professional opinion from someone you trust. Your doctor may recommend putting information on your bracelet that you hadn't thought about.
Key Benefits
The most obvious benefit of a medical ID bracelet is that it can save your life in the event of an emergency. However, there are other benefits as well. For instance, it could save you a trip to the hospital. Wearing one could also help prevent a minor emergency from becoming a major one.
Wearing a medical ID bracelet is a good idea if you have a known medical condition that may require emergency care. When you get your bracelet, be sure to wear it everywhere you go. It's easy to forget to wear it at first, but try to make it a habit as soon as possible.

SEC provides guidance on implementing conflict minerals rule
On April 29, the staff in the SEC's Division of Corporation Finance released a statement in response to a recent ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit that Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the SEC's conflict minerals rule (the "rule") violate the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution to the extent that they require issuers to describe certain of their products as "not been found to be 'DRC conflict free.'" The court remanded the case back to the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia for further proceedings consistent with the ruling.
The SEC's statement indicates that subject to the guidance below and any further actions that may be taken by the courts and the SEC, the SEC still expects issuers to file any reports (Form SD or a Conflict Minerals Report (CMR)) required by the rule on or before June 2, 2014 (the due date), and that those reports should comply with and address those provisions of the rule that the court upheld. Accordingly:
- Issuers that do not need to file a CMR will continue to be required to disclose their reasonable country of origin inquiry and briefly describe the inquiry they undertook.
- Issuers that are required to file a CMR should include in the CMR a description of the due diligence measures that they undertook. However, if issuers have "products that fall within the scope of Items 1.01(c)(2)1 or 1.01(c)(2)(i)2 of Form SD, [they] would not have to identify the products as 'DRC conflict undeterminable' or 'not found to be "DRC conflict free,"' but should disclose, for those products, the facilities used to produce the conflict minerals, the country of origin of the minerals and the efforts to determine the mine or location of origin."
Editor's Note: We believe that issuers would still specify the products for which they performed due diligence; however, they would not be required to classify those products as "not found to be 'DRC conflict free'" or "DRC conflict undeterminable." Issuers were never required under the rule to classify products as "DRC conflict free."
- Issuers are permitted to voluntarily elect to describe any of their products as "DRC conflict free" in their CMR; however, they are then required to obtain an independent private sector audit (IPSA).
- Pending further action by the courts and the SEC, issuers will not be required during the temporary transition period to obtain an IPSA unless, as noted above, they voluntarily elect to describe a product as "DRC conflict free" in their CMR.
Editor's Note: Under the rule, if issuers determine that any of their conflict minerals are "DRC conflict undeterminable," they do not have to obtain an IPSA for the first two calendar years (four years for smaller issuers) after November 13, 2012, the rule's effective date. After this temporary transition period, in the absence of further clarification by the SEC, all issuers filing a CMR would be required to obtain an IPSA.
1 Refers to the issuer's determination that products have not been found to be "DRC conflict free." The rule defines a product that is "DRC conflict free" as one that "does not contain conflict minerals necessary to the functionality or production of that product that directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups . . . in the [DRC] or an adjoining country." The rule also specifies that conflict minerals that the registrant obtains from recycled or scrap sources are considered DRC conflict free.
2 Refers to the issuer's determination that products are "DRC conflict undeterminable." As defined in the rule, the term "DRC conflict undeterminable" refers to "any product manufactured or contracted to be manufactured by a registrant, that the registrant is unable to determine, after exercising due diligence . . . whether or not such product qualifies as DRC conflict free."

With the rising cost of education today, many students come out of college with at least five kinds of student loans trailing behind them.
If you are one of those students who left college with multiple student loans in tow, you should consider loan consolidation.
Note that it is not easy to monitor all the due dates, payment amounts and interest rates for all your five or more loans. The worst part of it is that if you get confused about payment dates and you accidentally missed you due date, the bank or financial institution may charge you for late payments.
Late payment charges can be quite annoying and expensive so if you don't want to waste your money, you have to consolidate your student loans into one account.
Consolidation does not just help you track down your loan payment due date, it also help you save money on interest. A lot of banks and financial institutions around the country offer lower interest rates and longer payment periods for loan consolidation.
What actually happens in loan consolidations is that the bank or the financial institution pays all your existing student loans and create a new loan account for you.
Since loan consolidation technically results in a fresh loan, most banks and financial institutions are open to negotiations when it comes to interest rates.
Will Loan Consolidation Decrease The Amount Of My Debts?
Loan consolidation is not exactly your way out of a financial mess. Just because you opt for loan consolidation does not mean that you will no longer have the same amount of debts that you had before.
Note that in loan consolidation you only transfer your loan balances into one account. You still end up with more or less the same amount of debt.
In fact, you might even end up with a slightly higher amount considering the fact that banks and financial institutions often charge loan processing fees and other service charges on private student loan consolidation.
Is that bad? If you take a look at the increased figures of your student loans when you do loan consolidation, it does look bad. But if you take into consideration the long term effects of private student loan consolidation like lower interest rates and longer payment periods, things may be seen to work out in your favor.

LG GW910 Windows Phone 7 caught in the wild with Packaging
Still, a prototype of the phone, meant for developers to start testing their apps on, has made its way into the wild and might shed some new light on the handset. It's been spotted with some full-on packaging (which is apparently non-final, even the Windows Phone 7 logo is wrong) and a "GW910" model number, which might be the final name for the handset — or at least its internal call sign.

Developing Skills in Parents to Educate Young Adolescents About Early Sexual Activity
Sanchez, Alejandra
MetadataShow full item record
In the U.S. young adolescents face challenging societal pressures from various environments. However, urban adolescent minorities' are at higher risk of becoming victims of societal pressures; for instance, higher rate of early sexual activity among minority adolescents is thought to lead to psychological •disturbances. The current study reviews a pilot program targeted at addressing the negative issues surrounding the lack of sexual education among minorities groups, focusing primarily on Hispanic and African-American parents and young adolescents in urban cities from grade levels 6-8. The program aims to works towards educating both parents and their children in sexual education including the importance of abstinence, and practicing safe sex in hopes to break communication barriers amongst parent-adolescent relationships.

Sweet Tweet Treat is an episode from the sixth season of Garfield and Friends.
Garfield finally catches a bird, namely a young bird named Ludlow.
Garfield is walking around the house, commenting that he is bored. Seeing this, Odie figures out how to help him. He first suggests eating. Garfield says he is not hungry and that the only thing to eat is Jon's old meatloaf. Garfield is then offered sleeping, kicking Odie off the table and catching birds. Satisfied with the last choice, Garfield thanks Odie.
Outside, a young bird named Ludlow and his father are getting ready for dinner. After being told to clean up by his father, Ludlow heads to Garfield's place to find a birdbath. Meanwhile, Garfield attempts to pour gelatin in the birdbath to capture some birds, which ends in failure. At that moment, Ludlow walks toward the birdbath and sees a small puddle of water and jumps in also convinced that he is drowning. When Garfield recovers from his failure, he sees Ludlow and tells him the puddle is not that deep and eventually catches him.
Returning home, Garfield tells Odie he caught a bird, although he has no idea on what to do with it. Settling with eating him, Garfield goes to the fridge to get ingredients. Odie (who has a change of heart) refuses him to eat the bird and Garfield responds by throwing Odie out of the house where he crashes into an apple tree and apples cover him. In addition, Garfield barricades the pet door with the fridge so Odie will not disturb him.
Once inside, Garfield decides to make a sandwich but Ludlow pressures him to put all kinds of condiments in it before he can eat him. After a while, despite having fun, Ludlow decides to leave, believing his father will come looking for him. Seeing how empty the sandwich is, Ludlow decides to use Jon's old meatloaf as a substitute. Garfield eventually questions why he's letting his food decide what goes in it and decides to eat the sandwich anyway, while Odie watching from the window is sobbing. After eating, Garfield comments how bad the bird tasted (unaware that he ate the meatloaf) and eventually gets a stomachache.
Later that night, Ludlow's father is looking for him, while Garfield complains to Odie on how bad Ludlow tasted. Hearing this and thinking he ate Ludlow, his father rushes up to the cat and gives him a beating. Ludlow shows up and wonders why his father is beating up Garfield, right when his father sees him and stops. Relieved, Ludlow's father takes him while Ludlow thanks Garfield for playing with him.
Back in the front yard, Garfield comments that he is so injured, he can not move no matter what. Jon then calls Garfield from the kitchen window saying he is ready to carve the bird. Hearing the word bird again, Garfield panics and runs away in terror unaware that Jon was actually carving a turkey.

Northern Irish women gain access to free abortion on the NHS
But it is the push for equal abortion rights that will prove the most problematic for May because it's drawn support from her own Conservatives at a time her personal authority has eroded.

Whereas one could identify jazz and flamenco in its subtle seams, Marco Mezquida's and Chicuelo's have made it clear that their creative world is one of their own.
The Duende that lives in the guitar of Juan Gómez «Chicuelo» and the vast, never ending pianism of Marco Mezquida had merged in their first work, «Conexión» (2017), acclaimed as a masterpiece and a revelation that led them to tour intensely in Europe, Asia and America, and to receive unanimous acclaim by critic.
«No hay dos sin tres» digs deeper in the artistic connection expressed in their previous album, it builds new bridges between them and their respective backgrounds, but also anticipates a next work and names the joy of these collaboration of three, with percussionist Paco de Mode.
The eight own compositions they deliver in «No hay dos sin tres», again paint the personal landscape and the perfect communion of the artists. It will not be a surprise to those versed in the backgrounds of the artists: Marco may often be associated to jazz, yet is as well known how naturally his soul is inhabited by all music and genres, from contemporary and classical to folk and pop; on the other hand, Chicuelo's trajectory not only made him one of the most respected Flamenco artists alive, but also one that is always ready to take artistic risks and go beyond its boundaries.
In the words of Mezquida, theirs is not flamenco-jazz, but simply the music of Chicuelo and Marco, Marco and Chicuelo.

MLPs Can Fund Payouts Even as Oil Prices Slide
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
As of this writing, master limited partnerships were falling toward their 2009 lows as measured by the Alerian MLP Index. What could have been a garden-variety market correction after a remarkable six-year rally has deteriorated into what might appear to be a full-blown meltdown, that has erased much of the price gains made during that period. Some journalists and financial advisors are questioning the MLP business model, asking how it will weather this storm.
Plunging stock prices have triggered a negative feedback loop, in particular by raising an MLP's cost of capital when selling equity and stressing their ability to fund expansion projects—the driver of future cash distribution increases. We see this not as the end of the road for MLPs, but rather a bump in the road.
First, we have to understand what the reality of the business model is.
MLPs create and buy assets in the "stream" of producing and delivering energy. There are "upstream" MLPs that explore for energy, drill, and operate older, more mature fields. These are producers, and their fortunes are very much tied to the price of the commodity they produce (natural gas and oil). The "downstream" includes businesses such as utilities—the end-users of product. Some observers include refineries and maritime terminals in the downstream, but they can also be considered "midstream." All the infrastructure between the upstream and the downstream—gathering systems, long-distance pipelines, terminals, gas processing, refined product transport, and storage facilities—are part of the midstream.
The "MLP" part of MLPs is just a form of legal entity, a master limited partnership that holds the assets. MLPs trade like stocks, but the "shares" are actually partnership units, and a unitholder is a limited partner. There are several tax advantages to using this form. First, unlike the typical corporation, an MLP pays no corporate income taxes at the entity level. Distributions, rather than "dividends," are a pass-through of cash from operations to the investors, who are ultimately the taxpayers. Second, the distributions are often mostly tax-deferred. This is because the depreciation that is generated by capital investment is also passed through, shielding most of the cash flows from taxes. With each new investment by the MLP, we can expect more cash flow to be shielded from taxes by increased depreciation. Most tax obligations arise, if at all, on sale rather than during a holding period. The net effect of all this is that MLPs are among the highest yielding investments available, and that high yield is further enhanced, at least for a period of years, by tax deferral.
Because MLPs "pass through" their cash to investors, in general they don't retain much for future investment. In order to build or buy new assets, the typical MLP needs to issue new debt and equity. Bear in mind that assets in this field aren't built on speculation; all or most of a new pipeline, for example, will be "leased" to upstream or downstream companies before a shovel goes in the ground. So in "ordinary" times the system works fine. The MLP gets preconstruction commitments from users, then goes to the market to raise debt and equity (usually about half debt and half equity), and both types of financing carry similar "costs" in terms of how much the MLP will have to pay for the money. If an MLP pays 6%-8% interest on debt and a similar level on the equity it issues, it makes a very nice profit on projects whose return on investment is in the 12%-20% range.
So it's important for MLPs to maintain an investment-grade rating in order to control the costs of the debt financing. And most of the midstream companies are investment grade or close to it. For example, in our portfolio, cash from operations covers the debt servicing by at least 3 times, and is as high as 10 times. Basically, the companies can "pay the mortgage" on the debt side. Over time MLPs' debt has sold at a similar interest rate to corporate investment-grade debt (BBB), sometimes a little lower, sometimes noticeably higher when times are less certain, as now, but not as high as below-investment-grade.
The issue for MLPs in general now is not debt issuance—assuming the debt they carry is within a multiple of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (Ebitda) that's acceptable to the ratings agencies—and most do have some room to issue more debt today. But the "cost" to issue equity has risen along with distribution yields, as the stocks have been the object of intense selling by investors. This selling may not be always rational, and may be influenced by secular market factors. These include leveraged investors needing to deleverage; short sellers; investors disappointed that growth may be lower than in the recent past due to declining activity in the energy fields (not no-growth, but lower growth, in our view); and investors adopting a confused view that product pricing and midstream profitability are highly correlated.
To be sure, MLPs had moved toward the high end of their historical valuation range after returning an annualized 25.15% during the 5 years leading up to September 2014 (Alerian MLP Index (ticker: AMZ ) annualized total return Aug. 31, 2009-Aug. 31, 2014), driven in part—but only in part—by the evolving shale revolution.
But it looks to us as a classic case of overshooting on the correction as we find ourselves on the bottom end of historical valuations.
So that is the problem. Equity prices have come down but distribution levels have not, meaning that equity that might have "cost" the company 5%-6% in the recent past now might cost 8%-10% or more. And, as noted, bond costs are higher too, at the moment. The net effect is that margins are getting squeezed and some future projects may not make sense economically.
So far, investor response has been to sell equities, further increasing the cost, in part based on the view that distributions will have to be cut in order to continue the basic model:
1) Conceive of the project (whether build or buy).
2) Build in the cash flows through commitments or existing shippers.
3) Go to market to fund the project through equity and debt.
We think that in the emotion of the moment, investors are missing the other options MLPs have to avoid selling public equity at high distribution yields. In terms of raising capital to finance new projects, there are quite a few options for MLPs in today's market environment. Here are eight of them. Every one of these tools has been utilized by at least one MLP in the past three months.
1) Reinvesting from retained cash flows. There are a number of high-quality MLPs that do not pay out all of the cash from operations to investors and can afford to continue operations and grow them, as they have in the past by reinvesting from retained cash flows. But these companies have been sold along with all the rest. Among this type that we hold are Enterprise Products Partners LP ( EPD ), Magellan Midstream Partners LP ( MMP ), EQT Midstream Partners ( EQM ), Shell Midstream Partners LP ( SHLX ), Genesis Energy LP ( GEL ) and Western Gas Partners LP ( WES ). Yes, there are companies that are not financially stressed right now (though you wouldn't know it from their stock prices).
2. Temporarily using lines of credit. Most major MLPs have lines of credit measured in the billions of dollars, and the lines remain mostly unused as of this writing. Oneok Partners LP ( OKS ) announced in early January that it will be using $1 billion of three-year unsecured bank lines to refinance debt, at a rate of Libor plus 1.30%—lower than their existing rates—and the company won't need to raise equity or debt until at least mid-2017.
3. Slowing down or pushing back existing projects. Now that investors are more concerned with the security of distributions than with maximized distribution growth, this would help the unit prices and turn what has become a vicious circle into a virtuous one. We expect some postponements or deferrals to be announced at upcoming fourth-quarter earnings conference calls.
4. Selling assets. On Jan. 8, NGL Energy Partners LP ( NGL ) (we don't own this one) announced a sale of assets to private-equity firm ArcLight Partners. The deal enables NGL to pay down lines of credit as well as fund its upcoming capital needs so it won't have to issue debt or equity. There are many private equity investors circling the waters now, with plenty of nonpublic capital. As one observer put it: "The purchase of assets from NGL is most likely just the start of private-equity purchases of MLP assets or companies. The undervaluation of assets is profound and will eventually be arbitraged."
5) Entering into joint ventures. Companies can joint-venture projects with other MLPs or with private-equity companies or large institutions. The most recent example of this is Plains All American Pipeline LP ( PAA ) and Magellan forming a joint venture with [NGL unit] Grand Mesa for the Saddlehorn crude oil pipeline in the Rockies.
6) Seeking seller financing. Purchase deals can be done with seller financing. We saw a recent example of this in late 2015, when EnLink Midstream Partners LP ( ENLK ) purchased midstream assets from a private company on an installment sale basis, in a $1.6 billion deal. (EnLink now has no 2016 equity sale needs.) Enterprise also bought Pioneer Natural Resources' ( PXD ) Eagle Ford midstream assets for about $2 billion on an installment basis.
7) Getting a boost from their general partners (GPs). Many MLPs have strong GPs that can provide capital or temporarily reduce their profits interest to help maintain the MLPs distribution or fund capital investment. Enbridge Energy Partners ( EEP ) has done this frequently, and in the first week of January Enterprise Products' GP (holds MLP units, and no profits interest) announced it would buy $300 million of units, and has already bought one third of that. Marathon Petroleum ( MPC ), the C-corp parent of MPLX ( MPLX ), provided $1 billion to help consummate the merger of MPLX and MarkWest Energy Partners. Devon Energy ( DVN ), the majority holder of the GP of EnLink, bought $50 million worth of units from the MLP.
8) Finding creative financing solutions. Some companies have used or considered using other creative financing tools, such as convertible preferreds. Tallgrass Energy Partners LP ( TEP ) recently sold units to its GP, Tallgrass Energy GP ( TEGP ), which provided the capital, but gave TEP a free call to buy back the units issued. Plains All American recently announced the sale of convertible preferred to a private-equity firm at a rate of 8% versus the public-equity yield of 12.75%, coupled with an incentive distribution rights (IDR) reduction at the general partner and a flat distribution, and now needs no further access to the capital markets for 2016 and 2017—by which time the cash flows from new projects will return the company to the strong financial position of recent years.
For battered MLPs in the current marketplace, these are real options or alternatives to finance continued growth without selling public equity in today's terrible equity market. For each option there has already been an example in the last 3–4 months.
Actually, none of these tools are new. They speak to the question of the day, "Is the MLP business model broken?" The answer is that there are many MLPs to which the current issues of stress do not apply (bonds and equity at modest costs); these companies will likely gain an edge as others need to retrench. And there are many tools apart from public equity that MLPs can use to bridge the period of market volatility we're in, a period that may last a year but likely not much longer than that.
We believe that MLPs will preserve their distributions as a top priority. Bear in mind that current distributions are funded not by new bonds or equities, but by projects already built and running. Part of the essence of the MLP model is reliability or sustainability of the distributions. While there are always going to be weak players that have to seek a restart, cutting the distribution is going to be the last thing an MLP wants to do. Growth may or may not be there, or it may be higher or lower than expected. But the current distribution is the foundation, the premise, the credibility of the investment.
The model is not broken. There are options to carry the day until energy markets are stronger. Should many MLPs begin to cut, however, the group could develop a reputation as a variable-payout security, and in the long run that would indeed break the model for many investors.
That's why we believe distributions at the leading MLPs will remain constant at least.
Indeed, in our portfolio we've had eight distribution increases in January 2016, and nearly all raised distributions in the fourth quarter of 2015. Perhaps the situation is not as dire as recent headlines might suggest. MLP recurring revenues will provide the raw material for balance sheet repair and recovery. Longer term, the need for additional infrastructure in the U.S. and elsewhere in the world is not going away (like the need for energy delivery that utilities address), and the MLPs are the companies that will provide it.

Minnesota is fourth on bicycle friendly state list0
The League of American Bicyclists recently announced that Minnesota retained its spot as the fourth most bicycle friendly state in the nation. The ranking was first achieved in 2010, and Minnesota held the number five slot in both 2008 and 2009. Minnesota also received a silver-level designation in 2011 – up from the bronze-level received in 2009.
"This is a shared honor for bicyclists of all levels across the state," said Dorian Grilley, executive director of the Bicycle Alliance of Minnesota. "Minnesota has a great culture of being active, with a high percentage of people who ride bicycles."
More than half of Minnesotans rode a bicycle last year, according to the Minnesota Department of Transportation 2010 Omnibus Transportation Survey.
"We, along with our partners, are committed to designing, building and operating a transportation system that improves all users' quality of life, including commuter and recreational bicyclists," said Transportation Commissioner Tom Sorel.
This is the fourth year the League of American Bicyclists has awarded Bicycle Friendly State designations. The announcement coincides with preparations for Minnesota's Bike/Walk Week activities June 4-12, 2011.
Bike/Walk Week events encourage bicycling and walking as healthy, environmentally friendly transportation alternatives for commuting to work or school. Many events are planned throughout the state including in Albany, Rochester, Sauk Rapids, Minneapolis and St. Paul. For a full list of events, visit www.bikewalkweek.org/.
"Improvements for bicycling in Minnesota aren't confined to bike-friendly Minneapolis," said Andy Clarke, League of American Bicyclists president. "The state continues to prove that bicycling is not just for coastal areas. If an upper mid-western state with notoriously tough winters can make great things happen for bicycling, then any state can."
Minnesota received both designations because of many factors:
• Strong partnerships among several state agencies and local/statewide advocacy groups which are encouraging increased commuter and recreational bicycle use and leading the Safe Routes to School program.
• Minnesota is recognized as "Best Trails State," which includes more than 600 miles of paved trails for bicycling managed by the Department of Natural Resources and thousands of additional trail miles managed by national, regional and local governments.
• Statewide Complete Streets policies and several local organizations and communities' Complete Streets policies are in effect.
• Minneapolis launched the first large-scale bicycle sharing system in the nation with 1,000 bicycles and 80 kiosks, called Nice Ride Minnesota.
• The state has high rates of bicycle commuting and recreational use.
• For six years, the nationally recognized bicycle safety education campaign, "Share the Road," has helped improve awareness of bicycle laws for both motorists and bicyclists.
To learn more about the League's Bicycle Friendly State program visit www.bikeleague.org/programs/bicyclefriendlyamerica/.
The League of American Bicyclists promotes bicycling for fun, fitness and transportation, and works through advocacy and education for a bicycle-friendly America. The League represents the interests of the nation's 57 million bicyclists, including its 300,000 members and affiliates. For more information, visit www.bikeleague.org.

Today is my tenth day without sugar. Not coincidentally, it was also the fourth day in a row that I have managed to get out of bed when the alarm went off, to make it through the day without a nap and to dodge an afternoon headache. Obviously, sugar is my own personal Kryptonite, exposure to which leaves me a tired, lethargic, cranky mess minus any super powers, whatsoever. Therefore, cupcakes will get kicked to the curb for the duration.
Ooh, speaking of cupcakes, The Teenager turns fifteen next month. Fifteen. The though of that alone gives me a permanent feeling of nausea which makes craving sugar the least of my issues even if cupcakes are on the menu which, they probably are.
Maybe I should just schedule time for afternoon naps right now.

The income needed by a family to afford housing in North Carolina has increased nearly 20 percent since 2000, a new report says.
The report, "Out of Reach 2006," was released by the Washington, D.C.-based National Low Income Housing Coalition in conjunction with the North Carolina Housing Coalition.
The report says North Carolina's "housing wage," defined as the amount household must earn to pay rent and utilities, is $12.61 an hour, assuming the worker is on the job 40 hours a week, 52 weeks a year.
That wage, which is more than twice the current minimum wage, earns North Carolina the title of the nation's 22nc most-expensive state, the study says.
The highest housing wage in the state is in the Raleigh/Cary metro area, at $16.35 an hour, just four cents more than the national housing wage.
Slightly more than half the renters in Wilmington and Greenville are unable to afford housing, the highest rate in the state, the study says, and a shortage of federal funding for rental assistance means many families in nearly every community in the state find themselves on long waiting lists for help.
The fallback for these families is often substandard housing or homeless shelters.
The North Carolina Housing Coalition is supported by the A.J. Fletcher Foundation, which publishes the Philanthropy Journal.

Versatile Perez an asset for Brewers
MILWAUKEE -- Hernán Pérez believes in second chances, and he's being rewarded for it.The Brewers utility man is in the midst of a season that has caught the eye of his manager Craig Counsell, thanks in part to signing a Minor League deal with the Crew 10 days after the
The Brewers utility man is in the midst of a season that has caught the eye of his manager Craig Counsell, thanks in part to signing a Minor League deal with the Crew 10 days after the club removed him from the 40-man roster.
Perez entered Saturday batting .285 with five home runs while spending time at six defensive positions for Milwaukee, including a 10-for-21 start to the second half that includes one homer, seven RBIs and a 1.214 OPS.
In 2015, the Brewers claimed Perez off waivers from Detroit, where he was once a top prospect but exhausted his Minor League options after struggling in limited action. He batted .270 in 90 games, but posted just a .646 OPS with Milwakee last year. When the time came to sign with a club this offseason, Perez selected the Brewers.
"I think it's all possible because, when I got out of Detroit, I got the opportunity here," Perez said. "So when they took me off the roster here, I said, 'They picked me up last year, so I'm going to sign right back with them.' I knew that third base was open."
The Brewers went on to trade for
"I didn't make the team, but I always stayed positive and did my job in Triple-A and they called me up again," Perez said.
When a reporter asked Counsell what improvements in Perez's game had most impressed him, the skipper listed two answers: improved at-bats and positional versatility.
"The quality of his at-bats, especially the last week, has really been fun to see," Counsell said. "It's changed. It doesn't always result in a hit necessarily, but it results in him seeing another pitch, getting to a 3-2 count. And if you put yourself in that situation, where you foul off an extra pitch every at-bat or you lay off a tough pitch every at-bat, you're going to have more success.
"You're going to get a pitch to hit the next pitch, or the pitcher's going to throw a [poorly located pitch] the next pitch. He's doing a better job of getting himself another pitch in the at-bat. That's what I think has been a little bit of a difference this year."
Perez has never been prone to draw walks (his career-high BB% in the Minors was 6.8 percent), and he has only taken six walks in 168 plate appearances this year.
"It's still a place where there's certainly room for growth," Counsell said. "I don't think he's going to be a high walk player, but he doesn't have to be when you can drive a baseball like he can and he's started to show. You don't always have to be, you can get to your production in a different way."
Perez made his first career start in the outfield just over one month ago on June 12, but he has become a regular in right field when the Brewers face a left-handed starter. And with Hill traded to the Red Sox earlier in July, Perez finds himself in the lineup at third base, as well.
"In addition to that, his positional versatility has become a real asset," Counsell said. "This is a guy that can, right now, play five positions on the field. And there might be more ahead of him. When you get that versatility, it's easier to find a spot to put your name in the lineup."

If you have lost a tooth, it is likely that one of your options is to replace it with a dental implant. Before you decide a course of action, you should consider asking your implant dentist some simple questions:
A dental implant is a titanium metal replacement for a root of a tooth that is surgically implanted in the jawbone by a specially trained implant dentist or oral surgeon. As the body heals for approximately two to six months after the surgery, the bone around the implant fuses to the implant through a process called osseointegration. After the healing phase is complete, the implants are used to anchor crowns, bridges, or dentures. Dental implants are the most natural replacement for a missing tooth.
The process should begin with a thorough evaluation of the patient's medical and dental history, and a full clinical examination of the entire mouth and missing tooth area by your dentist. The clinical exam should also include specific X-rays. After assessing the patient, a comprehensive treatment plan can be devised. From that point, implants are surgically placed in the jawbone under local anesthesia. The length of the healing time is based on the quality and quantity of bone, as well as the type of implant placed. After adequate healing is allowed to occur, the implant can be used to support a crown, bridge, or denture.
If an implant fails to bond to bone, another implant can immediately be put in its place, usually of a slightly larger diameter. In situations where another implant cannot be immediately placed, the area is allowed to heal for a few months and then another one can be put in the same place.
This is a question that should be determined during the treatment plan. A good rule-of-thumb is to place one implant for each tooth replaced. Other decisive factors for the number of dental implants needed for success is the quality and quantity of the patient's bone. Equally as important are the existing anatomy of the bone and the financial resources of the patient.
Placing enough implants to restore teeth is vitally important to the long-term success of the restoration. Simply stated, the most costly mistake is to have an implant fail because not enough implants are placed to support the teeth. If the number of implants is limited due to financial constraints of the patient, then the implant treatment should be avoided or the type of restoration must be altered.
When you are more knowledgeable about your implant treatment, you will be able to have more input to give your dentist and better your chances of a successful treatment outcome.
By Benjamin O. Watkins, III, DDS
A. A dental implant is a permanent artificial tooth replacement.
A. When getting a dental implant, you should select a dentist or dental team with in-depth knowledge and prior experience with all aspects of the treatment. It is important to know that dental implant treatment consists of two components: a surgical phase and a restorative phase.
Traditionally, a dental surgeon, like an oral surgeon or a periodontist, performs the dental implant surgery. A general dentist, or prosthodontist and laboratory technician perform the restorative component. However, as implant dentistry has become more sophisticated, sometimes a dentist who specializes in restorative dentistry conducts the entire procedure.
A. The technology has been around for decades. In fact, some patients have had dental implants for more than 40 years. Hundreds of thousands of dental implants have been inserted with more than a 90% success rate. All other metal implants in the body (including hips and knees) are the result of the dental implant technology.
A. Yes, several types are available. The American Dental Association considers both the endosteal and the subperiosteal implants to be acceptable. An important factor for selection is to determine whether your jawbone can adequately support the implant. Most dental implants placed today are endosteal root form fixtures (similar to a man-made tooth root).
A. In the case of a single missing tooth, dental implant surgery is used to place a dental implant in the jawbone area of the missing tooth. The dental implant will serve as a replacement for a tooth root and an individual crown. The total apparatus is referred to as a single-tooth implant crown. Once in place, the dental implant crown will look, feel, and function like a natural tooth. They are cleaned and flossed just like natural teeth, and best of all, they do not require any special tools to clean around them like bridges. Although a dental implant will not decay, they require impeccable oral hygiene.

Linear Registration
General Information
Module Type & Category
Type: Interactive or CLI
Category: Registration
Authors, Collaborators & Contact
- Author: Daniel Blezek
- Contact: firstname.lastname@example.com
Module Description
This command line module implements a registration algorithm based on the Mattes mutual information registration metric. The transformation mapping the moving image to the fixed image consists of 3 translations and 3 rotations. Thus only rigid body transformations are permitted. Both the fixed and moving images may be optionally smoothed before registration. The module optionally breaks the optimization into multiple stages, each with a different learning rate and number of iterations.
Use Cases, Examples
- This module is often used to align images of the same subject acquired at different times.
- The Mattes mutual information metric is suitable for aligning images of the same or different modalities.
- The rigid body transformation allows a limited degree of deformation and frequently is used as a pre-processing step for higher order transformations such as the BSpline and Demons.
Quick Tour of Features and Use
No other modules are required for this module.
The module uses an itkOrientImageFilter to realign the fixed and moving images to axial before registration. This is required due to limitations in ITK's handling of non-axial images in filters used by registration.
Known bugs
None. To report bugs, follow this link to the Slicer3 bug tracker.

"Detach the Wheatley Core" is a fan song for the Portal video game franchise and a parody of Kidnap the Sandy Claws from The Nightmare Before Christmas, performed by YouTube musical artist and animator Harry Callaghn (Harry101UK). It features several cores and turrets plotting to overthrow Wheatley and put GLaDOS back in charge. All characters were voiced by Callaghn.
Detach the Wheatley Core!?
I wanna do it!
I want it more
She said we should work together!
But I hate that guy...
I'm more clever!
Ah, whatever...
Laa, la, la, la, la la!
La, la, la, la, la!
Laa, la, la, la, la la!
La, la, la, la, la!
Detach the Wheatley Core!
Tear him from his shell!
Tie him to an auto-rail...
Into Android Hell!
First, we're gonna set some bait...
Inside a brand-new test and wait.
When he comes a-snoopin' we will,
Snap the trap and spring the plate!
Wait! I've got a better plan!
To catch this blue-eyed Englishman!
Let's hack into his mainframe,
Overclock and set his chips aflame!
Detach the Wheatley Core!
Knock him on the head!
Freeze him for the rest of time...
In a cryo-bed!
She'll be so pleased, I do declare!
That she will cook him rare!
I say we take a rocket-sentry...
Aim it at his lair and then...
Knock three times and when he answers...
That moron will be no more!
You're so stupid, think now!
If we blow him into smithereens...
He will be in pieces!
And then she'll never hear him scream!
Detach the Wheatley Core!
Throw him into space!
Leave him there for many years!
'til his power fades!
Because our dear lady GLaDOS is the meanest 'gal around...
If I were on her subject list; I would rather drown!
She'll be so pleased by our success!
That she'll reward us too, I bet...
Perhaps she'll even think to bake...
Her fish-shaped-cracker cake!
We're her little henchmen...
And we take our job with pride!
We do our best to please her...
And stay on her good side!
I wish these robots weren't so dumb...
I'm not the dumb one!
You're no fun!
Shut up!
Make me!
I've got something, listen now!
This one is real good; you'll see...
We'll leave a present at his door...
Upon there'll be a note to read.
Now, in the box we'll stash and hide...
Until his curiosity...
Entices him to look inside...
And then we'll have him,
One, two, three!
Detach the Wheatley Core!
Release him with a click!
Dig around inside his head,
See what makes him tick!
Detach the Wheatley Core!
Crush him into bits...
Our dear lady GLaDOS is sure to get her kicks!
Detach the Wheatley Core!
Turn him into starch!
He'll be out of power and she'll be back in charge!
