[JURIST] The identities of two former Guantanamo Bay [JURIST news archive] detainees who were released to Portugal [JURIST report] last week were revealed Monday in papers filed with the US District Court for the District of Columbia [official website]. Mohammad Khan Tumani [transfer notice, PDF], who claims that his father is still detained [Miami Herald report] at Guantanamo Bay, accused the US and Pakistan governments of harsh interrogation methods amounting to torture. Tumani, detained for about 10 years, was among five detainees listed in a letter [text] by Human Rights Watch [advocacy website] to US Attorney General Eric Holder [official profile] in March urging him to give the five special attention and expedited trials due to their status as juveniles when they were detained. In addition to the harsh interrogation practices, the letter cites claims from Tumani's lawyers that Tumani attempted suicide while at Guantanamo Bay. The other detainee was Moammar Dokhan [transfer notice, PDF], a former Syrian army recruit. Both men are Syrian nationals and neither was ever charged with a crime.The agreement to transfer the detainees was made earlier this month at the request of the US government [JURIST report], making Portugal the third European nation to formally agree to accept Guantanamo detainees. Last month, Ireland announced [JURIST report] that it would take two detainees. In May, Algerian Guantanamo detainee Lakhdar Boumediene was released and accepted by France [JURIST report]. Last month, Dutch Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende said that the Netherlands would be willing to consider [JURIST report] accepting Guantanamo Bay detainees, despite earlier statements to the contrary. In June, the Council of the European Union reached an agreement [JURIST report] setting forth the terms of accepting detainees in a way that would minimize any danger posed to other member states.
[JURIST] The US Department of Justice (DOJ) [official website] plans to expand its Civil Rights Division [official website] and more actively enforce anti-discrimination laws, Attorney General Eric Holder [official profile] told the New York Times [media website] in an interview [NYT report] published Monday. The increased focus on civil rights marks a change in focus from the previous administration, which, according to the New York Times [NYT report; JURIST report], shifted resources from preventing racial discrimination to protecting religious rights. Among the new measures described by Holder are President Barack Obama's plan to add more than 50 lawyers to the Civil Rights Division and increased enforcement of anti-discrimination laws in areas in which minorities are often adversely affected, including housing and employment.Holder has implemented a number of changes to the DOJ in regards to civil rights since being confirmed [JURIST report] in February. In June, Holder told the Senate Judiciary Committee [official website] that hate crime legislation [JURIST report] is one of the DOJ's top priorities. Also in June, the DOJ rejected [JURIST report] as discriminatory a Georgia law requiring voters to have identification. At his swearing in ceremony, Holder pledged [JURIST report] to restore the traditions of fairness and neutrality to the department. In January, a report [text, PDF; JURIST report] released by the Office of the Inspector General and the Office of Professional Responsibility [official websites] found that under the Bush administration, DOJ applicants faced discrimination in the hiring process if they did not have conservative views.
[JURIST] Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly of the US District Court for the District of Columbia [official website] denied the habeas corpus petition of Guantanamo Bay [JURIST news archive] detainee Fawzi Khalid Abdullah Fahad Al Odah in a partially redacted opinion [text, PDF] made public Monday. Kollar-Kelly denied Al Odah's habeas petition last week, finding that the government had shown that it was more likely than not that he "became part of Taliban and al Qaeda forces" after traveling to Afghanistan and attending a terrorist training camp. Despite refusing to give the government's hearsay evidence authoritative weight, Kollar-Kotelly concluded:
At bottom, this evidence reflects that Al Odah made a conscious choice to ally himself with the Taliban instead of extricating himself from the country. His explanation that he chose to avoid the fighting in Afghanistan but mistakenly ended up carrying a weapon in the Tora Bora mountains during the Battle of Tora Bora becomes increasingly incredible each time the evidence reveals that he moved ever closer to the fighting and repeatedly accepted directions from those affiliated with the Taliban. Based on all of the evidence in the record, the Court concludes that the only reasonable inference is that Al Odah made a conscious decision to become a part of the Taliban's forces, and not that he became innocently ensnared in fighting after unsuccessfully attempting to leave the country.
[JURIST] Several US tobacco companies, including R.J. Reynolds and Lorillard [corporate websites], filed a federal lawsuit [complaint, PDF] Monday challenging a new tobacco regulation law on First Amendment grounds. The lawsuit, filed in the US District Court for the Western District of Kentucky [official website], challenges portions of the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act [text, PDF], which contains several provisions that the tobacco companies allege restrict or ban truthful speech in violation of the First Amendment. The complaint alleges among other things that the act:
severely restricts Plaintiffs' ability to communicate with adult consumers through advertising in magazines, on packaging, through direct mail, and at retail points of sale throughout the country. It also restricts almost every other remaining thoroughfare of speech, such as brand name sponsorship of artistic events in adult-only venues. Indeed, the Act even compels Plaintiffs to carry anti-tobacco messages drafted by the Government by appropriating a large portion of their packaging, simultaneously violating the Plaintiff manufacturers' First Amendment rights and taking their property rights. And many of the Act's provisions are not even limited to commercial speech, but go so far as to prohibit Plaintiffs from participating in core scientific and policy debates regarding their lawful products.
[JURIST] The death of an Iranian prisoner in police custody was determined to have been caused by beatings and poor prison conditions [MNA report] in the wake of the post-election turmoil [JURIST news archive], according to the semi-official Mehr News Agency Monday. Mohsen Rouhalamini, son of the adviser to defeated presidential candidate Mohsen Rezai [Iran Focus profile] was said by police authorities to have died of meningitis. The medical report by a state forensic doctor stated that Rouhalamini's death was not caused by meningitis but was caused by multiple blows [AP report] and severe injury to his body after being kept in a detention center and then transferred to a prison. Rouhalamini was arrested as part of the Iranian government's attempts to control the protests [JURIST report] that broke out after the June 12 presidential election. Last week, Iran began the fourth mass trial [JURIST report] of election protesters and reformists. Earlier in August, three UN human rights experts called on Iran's Revolutionary Court to reject protesters' confessions obtained through torture [JURIST report]. Also this month, Iran's Prosecutor General Ghorban Ali Dorri Najafabadi acknowledged [JURIST report] that some protesters arrested after the election were tortured. In July, Iran released [JURIST report] some 140 detainees arrested during the election aftermath after Human Rights Watch [advocacy website] and other groups alleged that some protesters were beaten, deprived of sleep, and threatened with torture in an effort to force false confessions [JURIST report]. Earlier that month, opposition leaders called for the release [JURIST report] of those detained for their alleged involvement in the protests. Also in July, the International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran (ICHRI) [advocacy website] reported that the number of deaths that occurred at the protests exceeded government reports [JURIST report].
[JURIST] The US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit [official website] on Friday struck down [opinion, PDF] a Federal Communications Commission (FCC) [official website] rule preventing cable companies from controlling more than 30 percent of the US market. In a challenge brought by Comcast [corporate website], the nation's largest cable company, the court found the rule to be arbitrary and capricious. The court held that "the 30% subscriber limit is arbitrary and capricious because the Commission failed adequately to take account of the substantial competition cable operators face from non-cable video programming distributors." FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski said [press release] "[t]he FCC staff is currently reviewing the Court's decision with respect to the limit previously adopted and the Commission will take this decision fully into account in future action to implement the law."In 2001, the DC Circuit struck down a previous version of the FCC rule that also set a 30 percent cap but used a different formula to calculate market share. The rule was reinstated [press release] in 2007. The FCC originally set the rule in 1993 under the Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992 [47 USC § 533(f)(1) text], which directed the FCC to "prescrib[e] rules and regulations ... [to] ensure that no cable operator or group of cable operators can unfairly impede ... the flow of video programming from the video programmer to the consumer." Cable companies have long objected to the rule, arguing that it violates their First Amendment right to free speech.

The Lazy Gecko is fully equipped with everything you need to enjoy all the wonders of Anna Maria. From the private solar-heated salt water pool to the beach chairs and wine glasses, just bring your bathing suits and lotion and get ready to relax. Stroll down beautiful tree-lined White Ave, one of the most beautiful and popular beach access sites on the island - and with the beach just moments away, you'll enjoy a glorious week in paradise.
You'll find a large flat screen t.v, dvd and free WiFi onsite. With two large bedrooms (Queen bed in one, a full and a twin bed in the other), two full baths and a full size convertible bed, Lazy Gecko comfortably sleeps 7. With a backyard grill and a fully equipped kitchen, feel free to eat at home or enjoy one of Anna Maria's award winning restaurants.
Sunrise over the bay is a treat and be sure to take the 3 minute stroll to the beach to see our spectacular world-famous sunset over the Gulf of Mexico. Nature abounds and it's tough to make a visit to Anna Maria without meeting a few egrets, pelicans and dolphins, and if you're lucky, you'll even catch sight of a gentle Manatee, the namesake of our local county.
The Lazy Gecko is a tastefully updated, clean and welcoming piece of paradise and we cordially invite you to make it your home away from home year after year.
(This is a two unit complex. The other unit on the property is occupied year round.)
Keywords: flat, duplex, beach house, guest house, resort
I moved to Anna Maria Island in 2008 to celebrate the birth of my son and to be close to family. I fell in love with it and can't think of a more pristine and peaceful place to spend time. We no longer live on the island full time but visit it nearly every weekend (sometimes in our own home and sometimes staying with family.) We're happy to share a piece of our beautiful island paradise with you when we aren't using it.
For over 10 years, my career involved the Surf Industry which took me to many of the most desirable beach locales worldwide. Yet every time I would visit family on Anna Maria, it never ceased to take my breath away - so this is where I chose to land. It's one of the prettiest places I've ever seen and we hope you'll share our love for our little piece of paradise.
Anna Maria is a combination of old Florida, exotic natural beauty and Norman Rockwell community. The people are warm and welcoming and when we stroll over to the beach for sunset we're always joined by neighbors, old friends and new friends. Anna Maria is uniquely cozy and welcoming in a world that sometimes isn't.

- Put the lasagne sheets in a large bowl and pour over boiling water to cover. Leave to soak for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to fan 180C/conventional 200C/gas 6 and lightly oil a shallow baking tray.
- Drain the lasagne sheets in a colander. Take one sheet and put a large spoonful of ricotta in the centre. Scatter over a few rocket leaves, season well, then fold the sheet in half. Press the edges together to form a pocket. Continue to fill all the pasta sheets, then lay them on the baking tray so they overlap slightly.
- Tip the sauce over the pasta pockets, spreading to make sure they are completely covered. Sprinkle over the cheese and bake for 10-12 minutes until hot and bubbly. Serve with a crisp green salad.
Recipe from Good Food magazine, March 2004
Comments, questions and tips
This had a good flavour for a midweek meal. Found making the pockets a bit complicated and fiddly (I was using dried lasagne sheets I had soaked) so turned it into a lasagne. I also added some frozen veg to bulk it out a bit and used baby spinach instead of rocket - one of those "fridge scraping" meals! Would make again though and stick to original recipe.
Really easy, very quick and utterly delicious. For two of us I used six sheets of lasagne (12 in a pack) a tub (250g) of ricotta, half a bag of rocket and a jar of tomato and chilli pasta sauce with grated cheese on top and served it with a green salad and cold chicken. Its like a lasagne crossed with cannelloni but in a fraction of the time and just as yummy!

MANORIAL GOVERNMENT MANORIAL OFFICERS Footnotes
Westminster Abbey, as overlord of the manor, was holding view of frankpledge in Chelsea by 1367, and between then and 1399 views took place normally once a year on Whit Monday. Presentments were of the usual transgressions: failure to do suit of court or to join the tithing, the drawing of blood, brewing, stray animals, obstructions of and encroachments on highways and watercourses, and minor nuisances. Officers were occasionally presented for failure to perform their duties. (fn. 1) As lessee of the manor the Abbey held a court baron about once a year between 1367 and 1370; no record of its business survives. (fn. 2) Chelsea manor courts leet and baron were being held for the Crown in the late 1530s, in 1543, in or after 1548, and in 1555, and for Queen Catherine in 1544 and 1547. Leet business was little changed, but there was probably little business overall since perquisites were less than in the 14th century. The courts were held once or twice a year and in some years were omitted, as in 1552. (fn. 3) The Magpie inn in the later Cheyne Walk was the venue for courts in the 1650s, (fn. 4) and housed joint courts leet and baron in 1679 and 1682 and probably the intervening years. Then and in the early 18th century business included presentments of obstructions, encroachments, and nuisances. In 1705 and 1706 several inhabitants were presented for harbouring lodgers, and three signposts for business premises erected on the highways or waste were presented in 1706. (fn. 5) The leet still functioned in the late 18th and earlier 19th century. In 1794 it recommended making a small sewer in Turk's Row to clear mud. (fn. 6) In 1819 it presented the defective footpath at Hospital Row: perhaps then, as certainly in 1833, the court was held in the Row either at the Royal Hospital or an inn of that name. It still appointed constables and headboroughs. (fn. 7) Court rolls survive for 1543-4 and 1547, and a roll of presentments for 1555. (fn. 8) All other court rolls were apparently lost in a disastrous fire when the Cadogan estate archives were being moved in the early 1890s. (fn. 9)
In the late 14th century the leet elected two constables, two headboroughs, and two aletasters, and there was a hayward in 1378. The bailiff was mentioned in 1379 (fn. 10) and the predecessors of George Bryce, regranted the office in 1555, had been active, (fn. 11) but in the late 16th century the office may have lapsed. (fn. 12) The leet in the 1540s still chose two headboroughs and two aletasters, but only one constable. (fn. 13) Constables and headboroughs were occasionally mentioned in the 17th century, (fn. 14) and an aleconner occurred in 1616. (fn. 15) In 1612 the justices forbade a drunken constable to serve again or keep a tavern, (fn. 16) and in 1732 fined another for not producing accounts and for contempt of court. (fn. 17) Constables and headboroughs were reprimanded in 1692 for failure to keep sufficient watch and ward, allowing a spate of robberies and burglaries. (fn. 18) There may have been only one headborough in 1748 and 1762, but from 1769 there were again sometimes two. (fn. 19) In 1796 the constable's obligation to raise a special levy for riot compensation, directed by quarter sessions, was instead met by the vestry out of the poor rate. (fn. 20) By 1800 there were several constables. (fn. 21) In 1822 the vestry proposed to select an extra constable for approval by the magistrates and court leet. (fn. 22) In 1824 the parochial committee resolved that a compensation be allowed the five constables belonging to the parish instead of charges; it was not to exceed £52 a year. The constable who attended the billetting of any soldiers quartered in the parish, and the one who attended the magistrate at petty sessions, each received £14; each of the others £8. (fn. 1) By 1828 there were 15 constables and 4 headboroughs. (fn. 2) Parish constables were still being appointed in 1852. (fn. 3)
Instruments of punishment were still a manorial responsibility in 1705. (fn. 4) The 'old pound' in 1694 lay at the east end of Cheyne Walk, (fn. 5) but it is not clear where the pound mentioned in 1749 lay. (fn. 6)

This game is more for those who like Vanilla stories. I mean the actual translation of the title in Japanese is cripple girls or disability girls, I mean that does sound rather offensive. They have a 1080p version for download on their dev blog and have a dedicated site for fanfics and fan art too.

Posted By 20MM on 03-03-2013 6:52 PM My information came from what was briefed to educators recently. Sub's are paid 100 a day, educators receive a higher salary with benefits, what they do in Hawaii has no relation to the plan with DoDDS (There are no DoDDS schools in Hawaii.)
TO: FEA Members Worldwide FROM: Michael Priser, FEA President RE: President Obama Addresses DOD Schools Date: March 1, 2013 The possible furloughs of DoDEA educators and the harmful effects they would have on military dependents and their families are being discussed at the very highest levels of Washington. This morning, President Obama addressed our potential furloughs during a press conference. The more people who learn about these unnecessary disruptions to our schools and the incredibly negative impacts they will have on military kids and their families, the more hopeful we are in finding a way to stop these furloughs and keep our schools open for business. You can view the president's news conference here: http://www.c-span.org/Events/Presid...ng-on-Sequ estration/10737438511/ The president's comments about our schools can be found at the 22:15 mark on the video (scan through the video if you don't want to watch the entire thing). Here is transcript of the President's remarks, in case you can't access the video: QUESTION: What do you say to the people like, Mayor Bloomberg, who's no critic of yours in general -- he endorsed you -- who argues that there is some what he calls posturing in these claims that there're gonna be big layoffs and a lot of people out of work, and thinks that the effects of this spending cuts are being overstated by the administration? OBAMA: Well, Jessica (ph), look, I'll just give you an example. The Department of Defense right now has to figure out how the children of military families are going to continue with their schooling over the next several months because teachers at the these Army bases are typically civilians; they are therefore subject to furlough, which means that they may not be able to teach one day a week. OBAMA: Now, I expect that we'll be able to manage around it, but if I'm a -- if I'm a man or woman in uniform in Afghanistan right now, the notion that my spouse back home is having to worry about whether or not our kids are getting the best education possible, the notion that my school or my children on an Army base might be disrupted because Congress didn't act, that's an impact. http://www.washingtonpost.com/polit...onference- on-the-sequester-and-funding-cuts-transcript/2013/03/01/6dca0d8c-8290-11 e2-a350-49866afab584_print.html
DoD has determined that planned furloughs of civilian employees will be required should sequestration occur. By law, sequestration will last 10 years and cut a total $1.2 trillion (half from defense, half from non-defense).
Posted By MicheYoko on 03-08-2013 2:21 AM I hope our Government leaders will have the decency to see the schools stay funded.
Federal law prevents any employee from being furloughed more than 3 days during any given pay period.
JB Staff
I recommended the teachers take the days off during the normal summer break, maybe in 1 week blocks, to prevent it from impacting the school year.
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, March 21, 2013 – Pentagon officials have put off sending furlough notices to civilian employees until they've had a chance to analyze how pending legislation that would fund the federal government for the rest of the fiscal year will affect the Defense Department.
Officials now estimate that furlough notices will go out on or about April 5, Navy Cmdr. Leslie Hull-Ryde, a Pentagon spokeswoman, said.
"The legislation could have some impact on the overall number of furlough days, but no decisions have been reached, especially since the legislation hasn't been signed into law," Hull-Ryde said. "The number of furlough days at this point remains at 22."
Pentagon Press Secretary George Little said the delay makes sense. "We believe the delay is a responsible step to take in order to assure our civilian employees that we do not take lightly the prospect of furloughs and the resulting decrease in employee pay," he said.

Nightmare of You rose out of the ashes of the Long Island punk revivalist band the Movielife. Ex-Movielife guitarist Brandon Reilly formed the melodic indie rock group in 2003 with a sound much more pop-oriented than his hardcore roots would initially suggest. Alongside vocalist/guitarist Reilly, Nightmare of You includes guitarist Joseph McCaffrey, bassist Ryan Heil, and drummer Sammy Siegler (ex-Rival Schools, Glassjaw). Finishing up tour dates with Head Automatica, the band released its self-titled debut on its own East West imprint, The Bevonshire Label, in fall 2005. Subsequent touring was completed with the likes of Men, Women & Children, Brandtson, and Rock Kills Kid before summer 2006 was spent playing alongside groups like AFI and Brand New. ~ MacKenzie Wilson

My bad.
Welp, it was good and I enjoyed it.
Saw Avengers. Really enjoyed 30 seconds near the end, could have passed on the rest. I'm really tired of these superhero movies.
Capt. America, for me, really lost the whole movie when it went into - Captain America vs WW2: The Montage
I did enjoy the Iron Man series, but that's quite possibly due to the wit of Robert Downey Jr. being such a likeable smug asshole
On principle, I totally agree. The blockage is within me.
Here's a trailer for Ben Affleck's next directorial outing, which was one of the most fun projects I've ever worked on. The plot is pretty outlandish, but it's based on a true story. They shot Warner Bros. as its 70's self, so it was a challenging but satisfying endeavor, and it appears the finished film is going to be just as enjoyable.
Affleck is turning out to be a pretty good director.
We're here to play some Mississippi Delta Blues. We're in a horrible depression, and I gotta admit - we're starting to like it.

Eh, i walk onto the floor AT show time at the Wiltern all the time and I'm always happy with my spot.
Show time for the opening band/ticket time or time for the headlining band? I can imagine it be quite a difference.
Regardless, if you've been salivating at the chance of seeing Spiritualized again for 3 1/2 years now like I have, this decision is a no-brainer.

Do you know important it is to say you saw the new wes anderson movie before anyone else? Its the epitome of hipsterdome. And then showing up to the gig like you just dont give a fuck is even better.
Definitely not knocking anyone else for wanting to do that, it's just not my thing and I don't see it as a deal break. i watch a lot of shows from back by the bar at the Wiltern and it's great. the line of site is great, and sound is great, and the room really isn't that big.
Yeah, I probably won't try for that Moonrise Kingdom screening. I was just speculating.
If this story has any truth, this might end up being the most fucking insane movie ever made:
The screening of God Bless America was wonderful, I encourage EVERYONE on this board to see it.
Isn't Ben affleck directing The Stand? Or is that not official yet?
Don't know if you guys have discussed it yet, but I loved the new Whit Stillman. I had forgotten that it always takes about a half hour or so to get submerged in the dialogue of his characters, but once I fully locked in, it was some great stuff.
Definitely not one of his "most laughed-packed" comedies. That would probably go to Bananas or even Sleepers, for just plain slapstick comedy. Even Sweet & Lowdown and Small Time Crooks would be better straight-forward "comedies." I guess what i'm saying is you got bad advice.
Last edited by buddy; 05-10-2012 at 07:21 PM.
Yeah, Deconstructing Harry gets downright depressing as the movie goes on. I do always get a kick out of the kid naming his penis after John Dillinger. I need to rewatch that movie.

Mr. Bill KlesseMarch 14, 2006
TESTIMONY OF BILL KLESSE Before the United States Committee on the Judiciary
We entered the refining industry in 1981 when we bought a 33,000 BPD refining operation in Corpus Christi, Texas. Today, that refinery has a throughput capacity of 340,000 BPD. During the 80's and most of the 90's, refining was at a cyclical low. Other companies were exiting the business because of continuing low profit margins and escalating environmental compliance costs, but Valero believed that the move toward cleaner fuels would tighten supplies and as demand grew, margins would improve. Valero was able to buy many refineries for as little as 10 to 20 percent of replacement costs. Since 1997, Valero has acquired 17 more refineries, improving and expanding each one. And, while much is made of the fact that no new refineries have been built in this country in more than 30 years because of poor returns, siting issues and permitting, Valero has increased the capacity of its 18 refineries by almost 20 percent since acquiring them, adding 533,000 barrels per day of refining capacity. That's the equivalent of building three world-scale grassroots refineries. We have also added and expanded existing units that allow us to process a wider variety of crudes. It's fair to say that if Valero had not acquired these refineries, much of this capacity expansion would not have occurred, and some facilities might have closed. Improving refineries takes expertise and capital and Valero has more in-house expertise and greater access to capital than many of the companies from which we have purchased refineries. In the past this has made expansion easier while meeting costly regulatory requirements. Valero has invested approximately $8.2 billion to improve its refineries. Since 1997, we have spent $2.4 billion on regulatory and environmental compliance. To comply with probable regulatory and fuel specifications, we will need to spend another $3.5 billion over the next several years. And new regulations continue to be drafted and adopted. Given the magnitude of investment required to meet new requirements, agencies must consider and mitigate their impact on supply and cost as well as on the refining industry's ability to remain profitable. Each of Valero's acquisitions was thoroughly reviewed by the Federal Trade Commission and state attorneys general. In fact, the FTC holds oil industry mergers to the highest standard and subjects industry operations to constant scrutiny. In some cases, Valero has been required to divest assets in a transaction. But in all cases, Valero's purchases have resulted in more refining capacity and higher annual production. And, we have also dramatically increased the safety and reliability of our acquired refineries. Of the 20 refineries in the U.S. that have earned the OSHA Voluntary Protection Program "Star Site" status, Valero currently owns and operates 10, and we are working toward the "Star Site" designation for all 18 of our refineries, even those outside the United States. Safe operation benefits consumers because it improves reliability and increases production. Valero also was recently ranked No. 3 on Fortune magazine's list of the "100 Best Companies to Work For." Our dedicated employees enhance Valero's production levels and reliability. This was particularly apparent during the back-to-back Gulf Coast hurricanes last year. In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, our refinery just outside of New Orleans, Louisiana was back up and running within nine days. Our refinery in Port Arthur, Texas had extensive damage as a result of Hurricane Rita, yet our employees worked tirelessly to get it up and running in less than three weeks. Aside from supply disruptions like hurricanes, the largest single factor in rising fuel prices was the cost of crude oil, which averaged $1.20 per gallon last year, or about 53% of the average cost of a gallon of gasoline. Valero is not in exploration & production, so we do not benefit from high crude prices. We purchase all of our crude oil and feedstocks on the open market. And, while much has been said about refining profits, it is important to note that the average gasoline margin for U.S. Gulf Coast refiners in 2005 - the best year ever - was $10.57 per barrel, or about 25 cents per gallon of gasoline. Even in a good profit year like 2005, our overall net profit margin was still less than 4.4 percent of sales. The return on investment for Valero is good, but if these refineries were on our books at full replacement cost, returns even last year, would have been low. Refining is a world business with thin margins and high capital costs. We must be careful about passing laws and regulations that negatively impact the domestic refining industry. In summary, Valero has been saying since 1997 that worldwide demand for clean refined products would grow faster than the available supply, and we have been investing and growing steadily. Our substantial investments have significantly increased U.S. gasoline and diesel production. Valero's acquisitions have provided increased gasoline and diesel production for the American consumers. Thank you. I look forward to your questions. |

The Hotchkiss Class of 2013 completed its commencement exercises with vigor on Saturday.
Glen Suppes, dean of students, announced that the graduates had already earned 1,112 college credits through the Early Scholars program.
That equals savings of $303,576 toward their college degrees. Colorado Mesa University, Western Colorado Community College in Grand Junction and Colorado Northwestern Community College in Rangely participated in the program.
Real-money scholarships earned by the graduating class were approximately $818,148, with additional scholarships and financial aid to be announced later.
"Hotchkiss High School would like to thank our local and area businesses and organizations for their continued support of these graduates. Without your help many of these students cannot attend these post-secondary institutions," Suppes said.
Coach Doug Horton presented H Blankets to Kati Evans and Conner Beard. They are athletes who have earned the most points throughout their high school career. Points are awarded from 16 different categories.
Valedictorian Mason Oxford thanked his teachers, his parents and his peers. "Find your calling in life and then do it like you mean it," he told his classmates. He encouraged them to find a purpose in their life and to do it with purposefulness and determination.
"In 2012 the National Center for Education Statistics estimated that 78 percent of students across the United States earned a diploma within four years of starting high school. This year Hotchkiss High School is going to graduate 61 out of 61 students, 100 percent," valedictorian Josh Hardin said. "Congratulations. We didn't leave anyone behind."
Salutatorians Kati Evans and Savannah Rocha shared their thoughts on graduation. Rocha looked back at the four years of high school. "Even though this school has had an impact on us, we leave it all behind today. From here we can become anyone we want to be," Rocha said.
"Well class we made it to the finish line. We've managed to complete an important stage in life, and boy did we pass with the flying colors of red and white," Evans said. "We've all reached this point together."
Glen Suppes thanked the Class of 2013 for seeking him out in their time of need. "As you looked for a graduation speaker, you thought to yourselves, 'Who do we know to speak the honest truth in the shortest amount of time possible while looking dashing in a suit?'" Suppes put on a bright red suit with satin lapels for the speech. He then drew upon his favorite movies to exhort the graduating class about service, relationships, confidence in goal setting and being an adventurer. He concluded, "I wish for you the best."

I was diagnosed with Insulin dependent diabetes in 9/96 at age 28. In August of |
I was diagnosed with Insulin dependent diabetes in 9/96 at age 28. In August of 1997, I became pregnant with my first child. The pregnancy went fine, diabetes wise, and I managed on 4-5 shots a day. I saw my perinatologist/OB every 2-3 weeks until week 24, when my blood pressure started increasing, and I began to have significant swelling in my legs and face. The plan was to see my OB every week after that to keep close tabs on my bp and other symptoms. By 26 weeks, I was put on bed rest because I had mild pre-eclampsia, and my OB didn't want to take any unnecessary risks. At 32 weeks, I was hospitalized because my blood pressure was still high (it reached 170/110 at its highest), but my pre-eclamptic symptoms remained the same, which was fortunate. I was now on total bed rest, and I was taking phenobarbitol, just in case I would go into eclampsia and have a seizure. Fortunately, I was allowed to take a shower, if I felt strong enough for it. The day I was hospitalized, we had an ultrasound and the baby looked great, no problems. But I had already gained about 55 lbs, and was huge! The increased weight gain was attributed to the pre-eclamptic edema. After being in the hospital less than 36 hours, I had lost 5 pounds of fluid just by using the bathroom. For the next 4 weeks, I had frequent 24 hour urine tests for protein, to gauge if the pre-eclampsia was progressing, constant blood tests, non-stress tests for the baby, but my symptoms just remained at the mild to moderate stage. My blood pressure remained elevated, but it was lower compared to the readings just before my hospitalization. It was decided if I could make it to 36 weeks, I would be induced if the baby's lungs were mature. This was great, since I was slowly going nuts in the hospital room, not having any idea when I would get out, or if my symptoms would suddenly worsen and something would happen to me and the baby. My blood sugars were kept very low during the entire pregnancy, so at 36 wks, 3 days, I had an amnio to test for lung maturity, and that evening, the results showed the baby's lungs were mature. We were ready to induce labor. At 6:30 p.m., a pitocin drip was started for induction and I was given a mild sedative to help me sleep. At 4 a.m., the drip was increased, and every hour after that until my water broke at 10:30 a.m. At 3:09 p.m., April 1, 1998, after 5 pushes, Lily Helena was born at weighing in at 6 lbs. 4 oz and 19 3/4 inches long. She was healthy, beautiful and perfect. She was 4 weeks early, but she showed no effects from the pre-eclampsia. Lily did not have to stay in the NICU, even though she was 4 weeks early. Before I became pregnant with my second daughter in 2000, my OB and I discussed strategy to try to stave off pre-eclampsia in another pregnancy as I had a increased chance of having it again. So it was decided I would take an 81 mg. aspirin every day as soon as I found out I was pregnant. The aspirin theory worked for the pre-eclampsia, but my blood pressure started rising at about week 31 or so. It got to 150/90, which was much better than what I had with Lily. I was tired, but I felt much better than I did with my 1st pregnancy. I took the aspirin every day until 4 days before Caroline was born. I had no symptoms of pre-eclampsia at all in this pregnancy, which was surprising for just taking a baby aspirin every day. At 38 weeks, my bp had not changed, remaining at 150/90, so it was decided since we got to 38 weeks, close enough to term, we might as well induce. A biophysical profile was performed on Caroline and she looked wonderful. The estimated her weight to be about 6 lbs. 7 oz. We decided to start inducing on 4/4/01 at midnight. The pitocin was started by 1 a.m., and I was again given a sedative to help me sleep. My water broke again at 10:30 a.m. but my bp was low throughout the entire labor. My OB told me if it would have been like that at my last check-up, we would have gone another week. I had no explanation why my bp was low during labor. On April 5, 2001, 3:45 p.m., Caroline Juliet was born, weighing 7 lbs. 7 oz, 21 inches long and howling like a banshee. She was healthy, beautiful and vocal as could be. I attribute my excellent outcomes in both pregnancies to my wonderful OB. He was on top of everything and never dismissed a worry, no matter how silly it might have seemed. I'm not sure my pregnancies would have been as successful had I been with another OB. I'm very blessed. |

Britain Announces Halt to Onshore Wind Farms
British officials are putting an end to new onshore wind farm construction, halting an energy experiment that has produced little usable electricity while draining the finances of British taxpayers and electricity consumers.
Energy Minister John Hayes stunned renewable power lobbyists by announcing the government will approve no more wind farm proposals. Hayes said enough wind farms have been built to meet Britain's renewable energy goals, so there is no need to blot the British landscape with more wind turbines.
"We can no longer have wind turbines imposed on communities," said Hayes in a press statement. "I have asked the planning minister to look again at the relationship between these turbines and the landscape."
"It seems extraordinary to have allowed them to be peppered around the country without due regard for the interests of the local community or their wishes," Hayes added.

Semi-detached housing (often abbreviated to semi in the UK, Canada and Australia, as in "three-bedroom semi", and occasionally referred to as se-tenant houses) consists of pairs of houses built side by side as units sharing a party wall and usually in such a way that each house's layout is a mirror image of its twin. This style of housing, although built throughout the world, is commonly seen as particularly symbolic of the suburbanisation of the United Kingdom and Ireland, or post-war homes in Central Canada. In New England, certain other parts of the United States, and most of Canada, this style is sometimes colloquially called a duplex; elsewhere, however, "duplex" refers to a building split into two flats/apartments (one above the other). The style is usually referred to in the mid-Atlantic (particularly Philadelphia) as a twin.
This type of housing can be thought of as being a half-way state between terraced or row housing and single-family detached homes. Terraced housing consists of continuous row houses with open spaces at the front and back, while semi-detached houses have front, rear and any one side open spaces, and individual detached houses have open spaces on all sides.
During the 19th century, a father and son architectural partnership, John Shaw, Sr. and John Shaw, Jr., drew up some of the very first designs for semi-detached housing in London. Examples of their work can be seen in Chalk Farm, North London. In the British housing boom of the 1920s and 1930s semi-detached houses sprang up in suburbs throughout the country, and were popular with middle class home owners who preferred them to terrace houses. The design of many of these houses, highly characteristic of the era, was heavily influenced by the Art Deco movement, taking influence from Tudor Revival, chalet style, and even ship design.
In the immediate post-war years many council houses also followed the 'semi' format, giving many Britons a first experience of private garden space. The semi is now the most common dwelling type in England, yet because it is typically suburban and ordinary, little research into its origins and development has been carried out, and semis are under-represented in heritage listings. [1]
In Australia, a semi-detached house is a different form of real property title from a townhouse. A semi-detached house sits on a single property, owned in its entirety by the owner of the semi-detached house; a townhouse has a strata title or more recently known as a community title in South Australia. Semi-detached houses come only in pairs, whereas townhouses may number more than two, attached together. In Sydney, semi-detached houses still referred to as 'semis' were briefly popular at the beginning of the 20th century and many examples may be found in inner suburbs such as Drummoyne. However, this style quickly gave way to the 'modern' style of detached housing which allowed better motor vehicle access amongst other benefits.
The semi-detached house was seen as a good fit for downtown Toronto's long, narrow lots early in the city's history, and their popularity was well established by the late 19th century. Victorian examples can be seen in areas such as The Annex, but the style was arguably most popular during the first few decades of the 20th century. They continued to be built well into the 1950s, often alongside detached types such as the bungalow. Red-brick semis are a common sight throughout downtown neighbourhoods and older suburbs; in fact, they are so typical of Toronto they could be seen as its answer to the New York City brownstone.
In Canada, some semi-detached homes have linked basements, such that the houses do not have individual basements. These are called linked semi-detached homes. This should not be confused with linked homes which appear detached, but there is a linkage below ground.
United Kingdom[edit]
In the UK semi-detached houses are the most common property type, accounting for 32% of UK housing transactions and 32% of the English housing stock as of 2008.[2] But there has been a decline. Between 1945 and 1964, 41% of all properties built were semis, but after 1980 they fell to 15%.[3]
Cultural references[edit]
- "Semi-detached suburban Mr. James", written and performed by Manfred Mann, a song about a lost love marrying a man living in a small suburban house, released in 1966 (Fontana TF 757), reached No. 2 in the UK charts.
