VIENNA - Iran's talks with the UN nuclear watchdog about Tehran's atomic program are going well, a senior Iranian official said on Tuesday, the second day of discussions.
The talks will test Iran's readiness to address UN inspectors' concerns over military links to its nuclear work, ahead of wider diplomatic talks on the program's future in Baghdad next week between Tehran and world powers.
The nuclear watchdog aims at the Vienna talks to gain access to Iranian sites, documents and officials involved in suspected research activity that could be used to develop atomic bombs.
"We had good talks. Everything is (on the) right track. The environment is very constructive," Ali Asghar Soltanieh told reporters as he entered an Iranian diplomatic mission for talks with the Vienna-based International Atomic Energy Agency.
The IAEA, the UN agency tasked with preventing the spread of nuclear arms in the world, has made clear that its priority is to visit a military site where Iran may have conducted high-explosives test.
Iran, which rejects Western accusations it seeks nuclear arms, has resisted requests by the IAEA to go to the Parchin complex southeast of Tehran. The issue was expected to be raised during the talks in Vienna.
Iran's state television said Monday's talks have "been evaluated as positive". It did not elaborate.
Israel, widely believed to hold the Middle East's only nuclear arsenal, and the United States have not ruled out military action to prevent Iran from obtaining atomic bombs if diplomacy fails to achieve this goal peacefully.
An IAEA report last November found that Iran had built a large containment vessel in 2000 at the Parchin site in which to conduct tests that the UN agency said were "strong indicators of possible (nuclear) weapon development."
It said a building was constructed "around a large cylindrical object." An earth berm between the building containing the cylinder and a neighboring building indicated the probable use of high explosives in the chamber.
Iran suspected of cleansing Parchin of incriminating evidence
The IAEA said it had obtained satellite images that were consistent with this information. The vessel was designed to contain the detonation of up to 70 kg of high explosives.
Western diplomats say they suspect Iran is now cleaning the Parchin site to remove incriminating evidence.
Iran's Foreign Ministry has dismissed the allegations, saying nuclear activities cannot be washed away.
A Vienna-based expert who declined to be identified said it would be difficult, but not impossible, to clean possible traces of uranium or surrogate materials from a site.
Two previous rounds of talks in Tehran this year with UN inspectors failed to make any notable progress, especially on their request to go to Parchin.
Western diplomats will be watching the Vienna talks for any sign that Iran is now ready to make concrete concessions, saying this would send a positive message ahead of talks in Baghdad on May 23 between Iran and Western powers.
The resumption of diplomacy offers a chance to defuse tension that has led the United States and the European Union to try to block Iran's oil exports through sanctions, and increased worries about a new Middle East war.

Wish you were here? Adventure seekers needed for Havens Hospice challenges
2:00pm Monday 27th January 2014 in Local News By Michelle Archard
ADVENTURE seekers are needed to take part in one of the exciting fundraising challenges organised by Havens Hospices.
From tackling the Three Peaks or Ben Nevis here in the UK, to trekking or volunteering on a project overseas, there are events which will appeal to anyone looking for thrills.
Overseas challenges include trekking the Sahara Desert, discovering the wonders of Peru, backpacking through the rainforests in Vietnam, and discovering the volcanic landscape of Iceland.
Trekkers must raise money through sponsorship for their challenge and the charity is hoping to make 2014 its most adventurous year yet.
An open day is being held on Wednesday for people who want to take up some exciting challenges in 2014.
Sally Nayler, 47, from Benfleet, signed up to trek the Sahara Desert this year.
She said: "This is my first challenge and I'm feeling excited and a bit nervous, too.
"I've started fundraising and have bought my walking boots ready to start my training. I'm looking forward to taking part in the trek as it will really take me out of my comfort zone while helping Havens Hospices to continue its fantastic work."
Emma Hamilton, events fundraiser for Havens Hospices, said: "After the buzz of Christmas, January can leave people feeling a bit blue, so we're offering some incredible adventures to start 2014.
"The open day will give anyone thinking about doing a challenge all the information they could possibly need.
"Our challenges are as tailor-made as they can be so our supporters get the absolute best experience they could wish for, while knowing they are helping us to continue caring for seriously-ill children and adults from across Essex."
The open evening starts at 6pm, on January 29, at Little Havens Hospice, Daws Heath Road, Thundersley.
There will be presentations on the Sahara Challenge and the London to Paris Tour de France
Cycle challenge.
For more information, visit www.havenshospices.org.uk To book a place at the open evening, call Emma on 01702 220308 or e-mail email@example.com.

The following is a link to an interesting point of view, one which I tend to agree with:
If that's the artlcle you're referring to, I completely agree that people who raise funds "for charity" through far-flung adventures are actually doing it for themselves too. Nobody forces someone to trek through the Amazon or whatever to raise funds. I don't have a problem with that, as long as they don't try to pretend it isn't just a selfless act, but is something they (like many of us!) would like the opportunity to do.
Unfortunately what I do have a problem with is finding enough money to "sponsor" each and every request. I'm sure that must be the same for a lot of people!

The Oklahoma City Thunder locked up another key piece to their team Friday, agreeing to a four-year contract extension with Serge Ibaka, according to a report from Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports.
Ibaka, a three-year veteran, was scheduled to hit restricted free agency following the 2012-13 season. He becomes the third key member of the Thunder's core group to sign an extension. Oklahoma City previously locked up Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook.
Ibaka has become one of the NBA's best shot blockers. He started all 66 regular season games for Oklahoma City, averaging 9.1 points per game, 7.5 rebounds per game and a NBA best 3.7 blocks per game. Ibaka has career averages of 8.5 points, 6.9 rebounds and 2.4 blocks per game.
While the extension is a positive move for Oklahoma City's future, it also raises the question of what is next for James Harden. Harden, the reigning sixth man of the year, is also eligible for an extension and without one will be a restricted free agent following next season.
The terms of Ibaka's extension, which have yet to be disclosed, will determine if the Thunder are able to extend Harden without going into the luxury tax.

Hi Folks,
I'm hoping that at least few of the N8 owners here will help me with a little experiment.
Since I'm VERY, read VERY concerned about the battery of this blamed for smart cameraphone brick (yeah, I'm actually hoping to get one myself very soon), I need some preliminary data first.
On my *old* E52 (which can jump-start a truck, BTW, and last for ages) I got a small Nokia program called 'Energy Profiler'. Bet you all know it.
Thing is, with latest firmware (51.018), factory reset, no programs running in background, no screensaver, default theme energy saver ON, dual mode of operation (currently UMTS), no BT, no WLAN, I got 10mA steady drain. That's what the 'Energy Profiler' says when the keyboard is auto-locked and the display goes off.
Now divide the battery capacity of 1500mAh to these lovely 10mA current drain and we get 150h (hours!) of standby mode. Guess what, my E52 really can go for 6 days in this mode. You can actually see some spikes on the graph that 'Energy Profiler' provides, but that's when the phone listens to it's own paging group.
So, I'm asking you guys, if this app is also available for the N8, to run a similar experiment and post your results here. No need to be exactly the same scenario. I'd just appreciate your honest replies. Just mention what settings you use and a long-term current drain after the phone is locked and the display is no longer lit.
I'll post my sample results later.
Thanks to all who respond to this!
Solved! Go to Solution.

Well I have loaded it. Haven't tried to optimise power as you did, so
WLAN on
Connected to 3G with good strong signal
Closed all multitasking from the mulitask menu.
Wallpapers etc still on and no power saving mode.
When I run under these conditions I get a figure of 0.38 W on the powersave graph.
22-10-2010 14:49 - edited 22-10-2010 14:49
Actuelly i get this error when trying to get it through ovi store http://store.ovi.com/content/17374
"Sorry, this item is not available for the Nokia N8-00.
Browse more great content in the "Related" section below. "
Maybe can install it if link is provided to a sisx.
22-10-2010 14:54
22-10-2010 14:56
Activated offline profile profile and powersave ...
it is now drawing 0.32 W showing on the graph, though when the acreen goes into screen saver and then I reactivate the graph, the line has dropped almost to 0 W (not sure if this just means its not recording when not showing on the screen ?)
22-10-2010 14:57
ljung, dunno how to help you with this one...
What if you try to reach it via the integrated N8 Ovi store client?
22-10-2010 14:58
During power save and WLAN off, in Amp mode it shows approximately 80 mA draw.
Not familiar with this program..so still playing to see how it works LOL
22-10-2010 15:04
ljung, dunno how to help you with this one
Use the attached program, just run it from windows while connected to your N8 with OVI suite (I downloaded it from an online repository)
You need to change the file extension from .jpg back to .sisx (it wouldn't upload on here otherwise)
22-10-2010 15:05
I got it installed just changed to a n97mini and sent an direct link sms from ovi store.
22-10-2010 15:07
@drandywright, 02:56 PM
Actually the offline profile means 'don't connect to a network', thus no real deal here.
The power saver is great IMHO. I love it very much on my E52.
It's normal to go to 0 when the light goes off. As far as I can see, the accuracy of the Watt-meter is just 2 digits after the decimal point. I don't know how to switch to Ampere-meter (works when I press '6' on my keyboard. It cycles through various modes) on the touchscreen devices, but it shall give a greater accuracy (in the mA range, which is actually sufficient for our needs).
Also, you can explicitly tell the Profiler to record the data for later use. It produces some small files placed in 'Juice'-something folder on my E52. More details to come soon!
Anyway, 10x for the help so far!
22-10-2010 15:10
Yes...I know the Offline mode stops it connecting to the 3G and WLAN networks....had to do this as every time I disconnected the WLAN, it reconnected again ...even when I set it to manual LOL
22-10-2010 15:12
Gotta be some setting or some persistent app, trying to get to a WLAN...
Shame on the Finns otherwise...
22-10-2010 15:14
22-10-2010 15:16
Must admit, the WLAN works great except two thigs ...
1. No easy way to turn it off except in offline mode which also loses your network connection. If you tell it to disconnect, it just reconnects again..even in manual mode.
2. I have yet to figure out how to guarentee that when in my house or other known WLAN area, the phone uses that for data, and when outside it should use my 3G connection. The automatic setting dosn't seem to work, as when it this mode, it uses the 3G, even when I am in range on my WLAN. At the moment, I tell it to use WLAN when in home network always, except when out when I have to change it to automatic...a real pain in the **bleep** !
22-10-2010 15:18
On a power usage front, i use my phone for web browsing, calling, podcasts and game playing on and off all day and have 4 online widgets for news/weather..
So far, I typically have to charge by mid-day on the second day as it is down to about 10% power by then, whcih considering what i am doing seems quite reasonable to me
22-10-2010 15:25 - edited 22-10-2010 15:28
Please note that though indeed AMOLED is less of a power user than TFT screens like on the E52, it's sheer size on the N8 and the touch screen technology more than offsets this and thus the N8 will lose power quite fast compared to non touch phones.
Other tests have taken N8 to last 2 days straight, however from what I gather, that test did not have N8 using widgets that are actively online. On the whole I would expect a moderate user of the phone to have to charge once every day, or once every one and a half days depending on usage.
Yes, but just few lines of the other threads here (about the N8) made my hair dizzy!
I got exactly the same problem with E66. I have colleagues with this one (E66) and they are easily getting 4 days with low usage. When I bought one, I was barely able to bring it home, so I could charge it! It was replaced (ghee, this alone cost me a liver) and voila, here we go again!
Then I saw the forum and I realized that a very large number of guys were 'fried' with this E66.
Just don't plan doing the same mistake again. A net current amount being drawn is more than a factor for me. It'd show me how much 'raw power' the N8 got. Of course if I start playing games and videos, etc. the global picture changes. But it's ME who choose what and when to run. The latter could be a subject of a SW optimization, but if the core has it illness, Thor help us.
P.S. When I'm usually buying something, I'm paying more attention to the negative reviews and opinions and not the spec sheet. If something is flawed by design (deliberately or not) not much of it's spec sheet will convince me otherwise...
22-10-2010 15:26
22-10-2010 15:40
Yes it appears so, which is a nuisance, as I want to be able to control my data usage on 3G globally.
On my iPhone I could set the priority to WLAN , so if it connected on WLAN, everything would use that until I wandered out of range, at which point it switched to 3G automatically. This is how I believe a lot of people want it to act

UAL, Hit by Fuel Expenses, Posts Loss
Updated from 11:52 a.m. EDT
United Airlines parent UAL (UAUA) beat analysts' third-quarter estimates and said it is well-positioned for the fourth quarter as a result of deep capacity cuts.
Excluding items, including noncash mark-to-market losses on fuel-hedging contracts, the carrier loss $252 million, or $1.99 a share. Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters had estimated a loss of $2.48. Revenue rose 0.7% to $5.6 billion and slightly exceeded the consensus projection.
When the special items were counted, UAL lost $779 million, or $6.13 a share. That included $519 million in mark-to-market losses as a result of the decline in oil prices during the quarter. The losses haven't been realized. Hedges that settled during the quarter produced a gain of $17 million. The contracts still outstanding have a fair value of negative $230 million.During the quarter, fuel costs increased by $946 million over the same period a year earlier. But "in this environment of falling oil prices, we at United see the opportunity to return to profitability," said CEO Glenn Tilton, on an earnings conference call. "We expect solid unit revenue growth in the fourth quarter, driven almost entirely by our capacity reductions," said Executive Vice President John Tague. Consolidated capacity will decline by 10.5% to 11.5%, while domestic mainline capacity will drop 14.5% to 15.5%. United's cuts "represent the steepest cuts of any legacy operator," wrote JPMorgan analyst Jamie Baker, who said the guidance "suggests [an] outcome approaching breakeven." While Tague acknowledged "a modest slowing in demand each successive week over the last two or three weeks," United does not foresee any reductions beyond those already announced. "We were planning for a weaker economy, albeit not this weak," Tague said. "We have not seen a level of decline that suggests our current capacity plans are not appropriate." Despite the slowdown, Tilton called United's international route system "a resilient asset," and cited the example of McDonald's (MCD), a major corporate client in Chicago. McDonald's "is generating a significant amount of its work, of its value, overseas," he said. "In a global economy, the corporate customers that we have are going to have to pursue their growth opportunities in our overseas markets." United is about to start Dulles to Dubai service, while eliminating the Los Angeles to Hong Kong service it began last year. During the quarter, consolidated passenger revenue per available seat mile, excluding items, increased by 5.2%, as consolidated capacity fell by 3.6%. Mainline domestic passenger RASM, before items, grew by 6.5%, with capacity down by 6.2%. The trends improved in September, when mainline domestic passenger RASM rose 11%, as capacity fell by 10.8%. Mainline cost per available seat mile, before fuel expenses and items, was flat at 7.71 cents despite a 4% decrease in capacity. Shares of UAL were up 9% to $13.80. Elsewhere in the sector, AMR (AMR), Delta (DAL), Northwest (NWA) and Continental (CAL) all rose.

PLATTSBURGH — The Battle of Plattsburgh Commemoration Committee is organizing for the Sept. 14 parade to be held as part of the annual event.
The parade, which will start at 1 p.m. in downtown Plattsburgh, carries the theme: "The Canadian Connection."
More than 90 units are expected to take part, with many new participants.
"We are hoping several organizations will work on floats to showcase their organizations and the rich history the Adirondack Coast has to offer," parade Co-Chair Vicki Giroux said in a news release.
They will be joined by lots of music, including Her Majesty's Royal Marine Band, the Cobourg Legion Pipes and Drums, the Police Pipes and Drums of Plattsburgh, the Spirit of Scotland Pipes and Drums, the Sailing Masters Fife and Drum Corps, the U.S. Navy Band Northeast, the Norwood Firemen's Band and the RCMP Pipes and Drums.
"This year, we will be awarding certificates for two categories: Best in Show and Best Youth Group," Giroux said, adding, "The cash prizes totaling $300, which were formerly given to parade participants, will be donated instead to the Honor Flight program supporting World War II veterans."
There is still plenty of time to register with the Parade Committee, organizers said.
"It is really important that people register so we can be well organized in advance of Sept. 14th," Co-Chair Diane Brockway said in the release. "At best, getting a parade lined up and moving on time is very hectic. Early registration is a big help."
The committee has been meeting every two weeks to be sure details are being addressed.
For an invitation to be in the parade or to volunteer for the Parade Safety Team, contact the Parade Committee at mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com, firstname.lastname@example.com or call 562-4000, Ext. 165.

Though being right next to the road, this place feels quieter and more secluded than many places in the Wasatch after an approach hike. This limestone can be very fractured and have less pockets than American Fork, but shares the labor intensity of route preparation and loose rock. Helmets may be recommended and climb cautiously on the less traveled routes.

For years, New Orleans has been called the largest talent
pool of musicians, possibly in the world.
Now some recording stars of the 50's, 60's and 70's who lost lucrative
royalties are warning new generations of musicians to take care of business.
"I would say Johnny Adams was probably one of the most influential
and most loved rhythm and blues icons in New Orleans, as well as overseas,"
said Judy Adams.
She and the late Johnny Adams married in 1990. He grew up in the Ninth Ward, the eldest of 10
children. Judy says the brilliant vocalist dropped out of school around the fifth
"He was illiterate, pretty much," she told us. "I'm not saying ignorant. But he was eager to
Johnny Adams signed a contract with the local Ric Records in
the late 50's. In 1962, the song "Losing Battle" became a national success.
"By him being illiterate, he wasn't able to read and
comprehend the legal contracts," said his widow. "There were contracts with
record labels, having him to sign that he gives up all rights to present and
future royalties. That's outrageous!"
"A lot of us didn't get any royalties," said blues
favorite Irma Thomas. "I guess it was a good 10 years before I started
asking for the business aspect and dealing percentage-wise."
Thomas was just 18, singing and waiting tables, when she
signed with Ron Records.
"The record deal was 'sign here and we'll record you,'"
Thomas said. "I didn't understand what my percentage was going to be but I
found out they gave me an advance of a couple hundred bucks. That was almost a
month's salary."
Her first hit was, "(You Can Have My Husband But Please)
Don't Mess With My Man".
"The shame of it all is that records were
selling," said entertainment attorney Ashlye Keaton. "I've seen contracts where the artist
literally gets two percent of revenues. I haven't seen one like that in some
time... but it was common in the 60's. That's if they ever got paid that two
Keaton warned, "If you don't have all the documentation and
you don't know what the documentation stands for, you are not going to be able
to monetize your music the way you should if you understood your rights."
Musician David Baptiste had to protect his song "Funky Soul"
in a protracted court battle in the 90's. It was a hit made famous by his
family band David Batiste and the Gladiators.
"Fall in love with the business as well as the
instrument," he said. "When you
control a piece it's yours."
His name is on an Uptown school where he helps guide future
Johnny Adams died of cancer in 1998. His wife says after he
died, the income just stopped. "No
more touring, no performing, and that's when we realized the record companies
were not paying. He's gone," Judy Adams said.
Adams says she and her college-age daughter have struggled
to stay afloat, left with not much more than memories from a blues legend.
"I am going to continue to fight for justice, for
Johnny and his royalties," she said.

Sunday Forum
Upstairs Theatre
The window into our work.
Good theatre makes you feel. It can also make you think. Sometimes you're left thinking about it well after you've left the theatre. You want to know more; about the play, its ideas, its history or how it came about.
If so then our Sunday Forums are for you.
We hold a forum for each of our Upstairs performances. Each is different and tackles a specific aspect of the production. It might be a lecture, a discussion or a demonstration. One might take a look at the broader social context of a play. Another might focus on how a show was created. After the forum you have a chance to ask questions of the panellists, meet your fellow audience members and continue the discussion informally with us in the foyer.
Sunday Forums are free. It's best to see the show before you come because we're bound to spoil the ending! Check our website or call Box Office to find out who will appear on each panel and what the topic of discussion will be.
See you there!
Although tickets are free, bookings are essential and are open four weeks or more before each forum.
Book online via the button at the top right of this page or call Box Office on 02 9699 3444.

I have been so blessed by my neighbors! I live in Parkview Addition and have the best neighbors. They are not just fair weather friends! Every snow you will see Deb and Joe out blowing snow for the elderly and widows in the neighborhood. They will not accept money or gas cards or gifts for what they do. They always say, "we're just being a good neighbor". God love'em and God Bless them for taking care of us.

Take away all the guns, there are too many!!! Monitor all of our phone records and internet usage, there are terrorists out to get us!!!! Why are you all so afraid and not calm like me?- VinSadly this is your reality, hypocrisy pointed out by many yet still it hasn't sunk in. Keep up the entertainment Matlock.
Take away the guns, there are 30,000 gun deaths a year I'm so afraid!!!!!!! Why do you let fear alter your views?- Vin
every body else should've been armed WITH ASSAULT RIFLES and this never happens. There are 300 million firearms in the US -- one for every person and then some -- its nobody's fault but their own if people dont pick up a gun ASSAULT RIFLE and fire back!! Arm up WITH ASSAULT RIFLES people!!!
*The gun laws of California[3][4] are some of the strictest in the United States.*Semi-automatic firearms that the state has classified as assault weapons, .50 BMG caliber rifles, and magazines that can hold more than ten rounds of ammunition may not be sold in California. Possession of automatic firearms, and of short-barreled shotguns and rifles, is generally prohibited.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_laws_in_CaliforniaAh yes, if we just close a few loop holes and ban some guns all the crazy people will go away ......
And yet one can buy an assault rifle on line without any background check ... Lol
Quote from: VinBucFan on June 08, 2013, 05:26:08 PMAnd yet one can buy an assault rifle on line without any background check ... LolHow does a background check count when you're not allowed to buy or sell it in the first place?Edit: Oh and by the way, California has had the 10 round limit and a magazine lock to make changing the magazine almost impossible for years. Basically an AR in California is an AR in name only. Just saying.
I used to be in favor of gun control. But if Vin agrees with that, I must have been wrong. I now think the more guns the better.

Bolt Out, revisited
I belong to Sears Tools (Craftsmens Club). I got a sale catalog from them today. They have a 13 pc set on sale for $39.99 regularly $49.99 plus 10 percent off for members. $35.99. Sounds like a good price to me.
Dave <*)))><
Hi David
I bought a nine piece set a while back, I forget the price but on sale with the club card. I found them to be pretty handy. I got three out of four of my battery box bolts out with them. PAUL K. in N.H.
I stopped in the Sears Hardware Store today. They had the 10 piece bolt-out set (3/8 thru 3/4) low profile set for $29.99. Plus they were taking 10% off of all purchases at the register. So I picked up a set. Can't wait to try them.
If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.

For Planned Parenthood, bad news becoming commonplace

WASHINGTON (BP) -- There's good news and bad news for Planned Parenthood.
The good news is the Obama administration continues to go out of its way to funnel money to the country's No. 1 abortion provider.
The bad news is Planned Parenthood can't stop scandals and negative reports from reaching at least some of the American public. For instance:
-- A 24-year-old woman died July 20 after undergoing an abortion at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Chicago, according to the CBS television affiliate in that city.
-- Sue Thayer, a former Planned Parenthood clinic director, has charged the abortion giant's Iowa affiliate with filing nearly 500,000 false Medicaid claims over a seven-year period, according to a federal lawsuit unsealed July 9.
-- The North Carolina legislature voted July 2 to override Gov. Bev Perdue's veto and defund Planned Parenthood and other private family planning providers.
-- Another investigation by the pro-life organization Live Action has shown Planned Parenthood employees in four states -- Hawaii, New York, North Carolina and Texas -- on undercover videos released in late May and June seeking to help women who indicated they wanted sex-selection abortions.
-- The U.S. Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals rejected a Planned Parenthood legal challenge July 24 when it upheld a South Dakota provision requiring pregnant women to be informed that an increased risk of suicide may accompany an abortion and thereby affirmed all of the state's informed consent law.
Such reports, however, do not seem to have done much to tarnish the perspective Americans generally have of Planned Parenthood, a pro-life leader says.
Planned Parenthood's "public image, unfortunately, is still good," said Carol Tobias, president of the National Right to Life Committee. While pro-life advocates learn about Planned Parenthood's negative news through pro-life blogs and websites, those reports do not appear to have made much of an inroad in wider society, she said.
"I don't know that the general public is that familiar with what is happening, so I don't know that it's really impacting yet what the general public thinks of Planned Parenthood," Tobias told Baptist Press July 23.
And the scandalous and even lethal news about Planned Parenthood has not prevented the Obama administration from coming to the rescue of its affiliates that have lost local or state funds. Twice already in July, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has announced grants to Planned Parenthood entities that have experienced cuts in government funding.
HHS gave $3.1 million to Planned Parenthood affiliates and other family planning organizations in New Jersey, it was announced July 10. The federal government action came after Gov. Chris Christie vetoed a bill that would have restored $7.5 million in state funding to Planned Parenthood and the other groups.
Planned Parenthood Greater Memphis (Tenn.) received a HHS grant worth nearly $1.2 million over three years, The Tennessean newspaper reported July 5. The federal government intervened after the Tennessee legislature eliminated more than $700,000 in state funds for the Memphis Planned Parenthood affiliate and Shelby County transferred a nearly $400,000 family planning contract to another entity.
Last year, New Hampshire barred six clinics of Planned Parenthood of Northern New Hampshire from receiving $1.8 million in federal and state family planning funds, but the Obama administration granted a $1 million contract to the organization three months later.
"The President's loyalty to Planned Parenthood -- the nation's largest abortion business and his top political ally -- knows no limits," said Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of the pro-life Susan B. Anthony List, in a written statement after the HHS grant to New Jersey clinics.
The pro-life effort to expose and defund Planned Parenthood faces serious disadvantages, Tobias said.
"This is an organization that has an annual income of more than $1 billion, almost half of that coming from federal, state and local grants and contracts," she told BP. "They're not going to go down easily. They are going to be fighting tooth and nail to hang on, to keep getting those government, taxpayer funds. Unfortunately, this is going to be a big battle."
An administration that is willing to circumvent state funding decisions on Planned Parenthood and similar organizations leaves pro-lifers with one option, Tobias said.
"The only way we will be able to stop that is to put someone else in the White House," she said. "As long as President Obama and his administration have executive branch authority, they will continue to fund the nation's largest abortion provider -- regardless of what the citizens want."
In the latest reported death following an abortion, Tonya Reaves, 24, died at a Chicago area hospital from a hemorrhage following a dilation and evacuation abortion, according to the medical examiner's office, Channel 2, the CBS affiliate, reported. A dilation and evacuation abortion typically takes place in the second trimester of a pregnancy and normally involves the use of a suction tube and/or forceps to remove the unborn child's body in pieces.
Reaves was taken from Loop Health Center Planned Parenthood to Northwestern Memorial Hospital, according to the pro-life activist organization Operation Rescue.
Carole Brite, president of Planned Parenthood Illinois, said her organization was "shocked and saddened upon learning of a tragic development at a nearby hospital. Our hearts go out to the loved ones of this patient."
Day Gardner, president of the National Black Pro-life Union, also expressed her sympathy to Reaves' family and friends, adding, "It is so heartbreaking and tragic that this young woman believed the continuous lies of Planned Parenthood [which state] that abortions are perfectly safe. ... I am so sad and angry about the death of this beautiful black girl and her baby."
Federal family planning funds may not be used for the performance of abortions. But pro-life advocates point out that government grants free up other funds for use in Planned Parenthood's abortion business.
Planned Parenthood's national organization, the Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA), and its affiliates received $487.4 million in government grants, contracts and reimbursements in 2009-10, the most recent year for which statistics are available.
That money helps support an organization with clinics that performed 329,445 abortions in 2010. That was more than one-fourth of the lethal procedures in the United States for the year.
Various scandals have plagued Planned Parenthood in recent years, and it is currently the target of a congressional investigation.
Rep. Cliff Stearns, R.-Fla., who is leading the probe by the House of Representatives Energy and Commerce Committee, has requested Planned Parenthood audits, documentation, policies and procedures regarding such issues as improper billing, segregation of federal funds from abortion services and reporting of suspected sex abuse and human trafficking.
Hidden camera investigations conducted by Live Action have uncovered Planned Parenthood workers demonstrating a willingness to aid self-professed sex traffickers whose prostitutes supposedly are in their early teens and seeking to cover up alleged child sex abuse.

Thread: Re: "Lets trade an RB!" Hell No!
Re: "Lets trade an RB!" Hell No!
Given your argument, bringing in a new RB wouldn't solve the problem much if not at all. The offensive system Edgerrin James is in is more potent than ours, so putting him against 8 in the box might not make much of a difference. Alexander is more experienced by one year over Bennet.
I'm not trying to take anything away from these guys, but they don't offer much of an upside to what we already have. Sure Alexander has 4 straight years over 1000 yards, but it is an offense built around him. Our offense is built around Culpepper and if we bring in Alexander we won't be using him to our full potential.
Canada's reasons to get Alexander:
Lesser passing threat means we need a stronger runner.
OL is worse than last year.
Unproven RBs
None of these issues deal directly with the RB issue. If we have a lesser passing threat, we need to change our passing game so it is more efficient. If Birk is injured, wouldn't it make more sense to hire a veteran Center than a better RB? Withrow has done great as a backup.
Eentually, you have to give young guys the oppurtunity to prove themselves. Getting Alexander would be so sad because we would have so much potential rotting away on our bench.
We will have to rely more on our running game next year, but that does not mean our running game has to get better. If we average the same ypc as we did last year but run it more, I think we'll be headed to the Super Bowl."I hate when threads are destroyed by facts and logic."

Thanks Josdin!
Re: "Lets trade an RB!" Hell No!
I was actually agreeing with you that we shouldn't get another RB - because it would screw up our cap, and like you said , we do need to start giving the young guys a chance. I was just saying that I would feel much more comfortable with an offence with Alexander as the RB than any of our unproven youngsters. For example, you said we shouldn't get Alex because we wouldn't be using him to his full potential. Well, like you said he has an offence built around him in Seattle (where they have 0 passing game) and he still manages to kick @ss. Well, if we threw him into the Vikings mix, then no matter what the defence does he will run for a lot of yards, and if they put 8 in the box, then our Culpepper and our passing game will destroy the secondary.
Thanks PPE for the sig.
Re: "Lets trade an RB!" Hell No!
both backs are more durable then bennet! Alexander can play smash mouth football all day long. bennet cant take a light hit. Im not saying trade but bennet is not the answer, play the young guys.
Re: "Lets trade an RB!" Hell No!
MOORE is clearly the future of the franchise, unless fason somehow passes him in the next couple of years..the thing moore has is elusiveness, and a great ability to hit the hole, with suprising power too..he would have guys dragging all over him trying to take him down..he is more of what we need, we dont need to be running power sweeps all day long since bennett cant run through a midgetPeople who see life as anything more than pure entertainment are missing the point.

Amarillo, TX - Texas state troopers over the weekend uncovered more than $386,000 worth of methamphetamine.
Just after noon Saturday, troopers stopped a car for a traffic violation on Interstate 40 near Conway. There, they discovered more than ten pounds of meth, wrapped up in a dozen bundles inside the trunk of the car.
The driver, 39 year-old Roberto Fernandez, Jr. of Yuma, Arizona, was arrested and charged with felony possession of a controlled substance.
Troopers believe the drugs were being taken from Arizona to Des Moines, Iowa.

Two women spread a freshly laundered tablecloth, still damp from washing, and began to glide the circular linen into a giant metal press that resembled a pasta maker. The basil-hued tablecloth slid out the other side, dried and ironed and ready to be hung among a vast array of linens that spanned floor to ceiling in an array of colors in the giant Sonoma warehouse.
Nearby, bistro and cafe chairs were stacked by the dozen, ready to be loaded onto a fleet of 25 trucks that made more than 5,000 deliveries last year.
That was the scene at Wine Country Party & Events, a party rental company that may grow even larger in scale after its recent purchase by a pair of business partners who once turned a small party supply company into a national player.
Wine Country Party & Events
John Moran, former CEO of Classic Party Rentals, and Mike Bjornstad, its former CFO, bought the Sonoma company for an undisclosed sum earlier this month.
Moran founded Classic Party Rentals in 1997 when he acquired a San Diego company for $4 million. Over the next seven years, he and Bjornstad built the company to reach $84 million in annual revenues and added about a dozen locations in California and Arizona before Bjornstad sold the business in 2004.
Moran later started another company on the East Coast, Event Rentals 2, which he sold to Classic Party Rentals in 2008, he said. Moran is now president of Passport Capital, a San Francisco-based investment firm that manages $3 billion in assets.
Bjornstad stayed with Classic Party Rentals until 2011. Today, that company has more than 30 locations.
"Classic Party Rentals grew significantly through acquisitions and geographic expansion, and our focus with doing this is much more on the local market, and being here in Wine Country," Bjornstad said. "First and foremost we're getting to know the people here, the team of people who have been running the business, doing all the events and continuing to perform well for customers."

Ed's Take: The diesel engine on the BMW 3 Series is really frugal as it returns a good fuel economy. Generally, luxury car buyers aren't worried about fuel economy, but this is just an add-on advantage.
Talking about the fuel economy of the new 2012 BMW 3 series, the athletic and powerful engine of this luxury sedan are a real thoroughbred. Its sporting genes genes are visible on every terrain and every mile of the way. Both the petrol and diesel engine being extremely fuel-efficient and best-in class performers make the BMW 3 Series an outstanding vehicle in terms of performance and fuel consumption. No doubt in a world where the fuel prices are having the characteristics of a rocket, going up and up and reaching the sky level consumers are vary of the luxury vehicles that consumes a lot fuel and don't deliver in terms of mileage. However, the unique marriage of the outstanding power delivery and superlative efficiency is the USP of the BMW cars. The 2.0L engine comes mated to a new eight-speed automatic transmission will almost impeccable gear shifts . The 1997cc petrol engine combined with the BMW Twin Power Turbo Technology and twin scroll turbocharger with Valvetronic, Double-VANOS and High Precision Injection translates into an innovative package that delivers 14.79kmpl .
Ed's Take: The power on the diesel is good, but that on the petrol is mind-boggling. The turbocharged petrol is a real gem.
The 2012 BMW 3 Series comes in five guises out of which BMW 320d, BMW 3 Series 320d Luxury Line, BMW 3 Series 320d Sport and BMW 3 Series 320d Luxury Plus are all diesel variants and the only petrol variant is BMW 3 Series 328i Sport Line. The diesel variants holds a 1995cc engine four-pot,under their hood which is considered to be one of the best four-cylinder diesel mill in the auto world , it is still a bit jerky and will not turn on silently, however these luxury cars are always up for action and has the willingness to perform when you rev hard. The 2.0L diesel engine comes mated to a 8-speed automatic transmission gearbox which effectively churns out 184bhp peak power @ 4000rpm and 380Nm torque @ 1,750-2,750rpm. The single gasoline variant also holds a 2.0L four-cylinder petrol motor with a single, twin-scroll turbocharger produces 245bhp power and 350 @ 1,250-4,800rpm . All thanks to the direct injection and the turbo chargers the engine is torquey and likes to be revved hard. Akin to its diesel sibling the petrol motor too is not refined at still and generates a coarse snarl when pushed a bit hard.
Ed's Take: Despite the downsizing the power on the petrol is as good as the old straight six that powered the outgoing version.
The BMW 320i picks up amazingly from 0 to 100kmph in a matter of 9.8 seconds and can touch a top speed of 215kmph. Its other variant 330i can attain a speed of 0-100kmph in just 8.6 seconds and can touch a high speed of 235kmph. The diesel variant of BMW 3 Series picks up a speed of 100kmph from 0kmph in just 9.39 seconds and attains the top speed of 216kmph.

Ed's Take: Both the engines fulfill their job and both are for different purposes. If you travel a lot, then the diesel makes sense. If you are bonkers about performance, there is no better option than the petrol engine. The 3 Series GT comes with only diesel engine at the moment and the power ratings are the same too. The 3 GT doesn't get Sport+ mode.
BMW 3 Series as mentioned earlier has two engine options-two variants with a petrol engine and the other two with a diesel engine. The 320i is equipped with a 1995 cc petrol engine that generates a power of 115KW at 6400 rpm and a maximum torque of 200 Nm at 3600 rpm. While another petrol variant of BMW 3 Series, 330i offers a power of 190 KW at 6600 rpm and a top most torque of 300 Nm at 2500~4000 rpm. The diesel variant of BMW 3 Series – 320D Corporate Edition and 320D Highline generates a power of 130 KW at 4000 rpm and maximum torque of 350 Nm at 1750-3000 rpm. Though, BMW 330i is the one that stands out.
Ed's Take: The BMW 3 Series comes loaded with various features like cruise control, start-stop system in traffic and heads-up display. These features are also available in the 3 Series GT.
BMW 3 Series is loaded with luxurious accessories like Multimedia appliances in different format and AUX IN port and USB/Audio Interface which helps you to connect an external device easily to your CD player.

Ed's Take: The handling of the 3-Series is fantastic and it is one of the best handling vehicles in its segment. However the ride is a bit harsh and also the steering is heavy for city driving.
BMW 3 Series possesses great handling. All the variants of BMW 3 Series have disc brakes both at the front and rear. The braking of the car is efficient as well, having an Anti-lock braking system (ABS), Cornering Brake Control (CBC), Dynamic Stability Control, Dynamic Traction Control (DTC) and Run flat indicator. BMW 320i, 330i, 320D Corporate Edition and 320D Highline, all have a Double joint spring-strut axle front suspension and a five link rear suspension.
Ed's Take: The safety features list on the 3 Series is long, just like that on any other luxury car. The 3 GT has a softer set-up comparatively.
BMW 3 Series does not have just style but has all the safety features that you need to experience a safe and smooth journey. The safety features of the car include - Air bags that are present for the driver and front passenger, head airbags front to rear, side air bags for driver and front passenger, Antilock Braking System, Concerning Brake Control, Dynamic Stability Control, Dynamic Traction Control, Run Flat indicator, Safety battery terminal clamp, Bumper system with aluminum impact absorbers at the front and steel impact absorbers at the rear, integrated side impact protection, Ergonomic seat belt system at the rear and 3 point seat belts for all the seats at the rear, warning triangle with first aid kit, Inertia-reel seatbelts at the front and for the two outer rear seats with belt tensioners and belt force limiter .

Recording Shadowsong!
Yesterday was one of those golden days. I laughed so much my face hurt. Spending time in the studio with Phil and Neil, listening to them make music and...er...other things...was a total blast.
We're hoping the new CD will be done and ready for pre-order by mid-December. We've got some very cool music and art that's going into Shadowsong. This time, I'll be including a list that tells you where in the book to listen to each song. Unlike the last CD that was about the entire series, Shadowsong is specific to Shadowfever.
Phil flew in to record a very special piece with us that I know you're going to love. After Neil finished writing it, we realized there was only one voice that could do it justice. I was fanning myself the entire time he recorded it. I kept asking him to redo a few lines just so I could hear him say them again. (Like: "I am your dirty dreams.")
I was trying to get a good shot of Neil and Phil together to share with you but they got into a pissing contest...or...something, LOL! Did I tell you laughed so much my face hurt?
All in all a great day. I'm so excited to share the music with you soon!
