Charlotte: Christina thanks for taking the time to chat with me today.
Christina: Yes, well thank you for all you do - interviewing everyone for our ACVA News cover story!
Charlotte: How did you get started in astrology?
Christina: I wrote about this in one of my past editorials in May Light Notes my first teacher was my maternal Grandfather who began my studies by teaching me astronomy from the night sky. I continued learning on my own over these many years, with many teachers, but mostly from experience.
I like the idea of doing as many charts as possible to study specific concepts. You can only learn so much from books. And, a lot of ancient texts have different translations in the west. Like in propitiation, where the ancient texts might
say to give a gift of cows to a Brahmin, in present day we use cash instead of cows for currency. Though I did have someone take that very seriously and he gave me a little toy metal cow. It was years ago, and I still have it. It really meant something deep to me at the time.
Charlotte: So you've studied a long time, what were your first sources, what are your major influences.
Christina: My Grandfather had the western sidereal books by DeLuce and others,. He, began teaching me in 1955 when I was seven or so. I think I've been fortunate to be in the right place at the right time and I have met many teachers in India as well.
Charlotte: You became quite immersed in the TM (Transcendental Meditation) movement, in its early development in the US - did that kind of spiritual training influence your practice of Astrology?
Christina: Of course, I cannot leave out Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, I taught TM for decades, and through him, and that path, I learned much. Vedic Study, and Sanskrit

July Webinar:
Komilla Sutton,
July 18, 2009
Noon, EST
"Debilitation of the Planets" 90 minutes - Komilla will lecture on the coming debilitation of planets as 5 planets will transit in debilitation at the same time during October & November of 2009.
|Avasthas, States of Consciousness of the planets. Planets work on 4 levels of consciousness- waking, dreaming, sleeping and transcendental states. Understanding the Avasthas of planets give us a new look at the debilitation, and its connections to spiritual growth. Why debilitated planets may not be as negative as long as we understand how to use their energy in the right way. As we are experiencing the Debilitation of Jupiter in 2009 and then in October- November 2009, Sun, Mars, Venus will also be debilitated together with Jupiter, therefore understanding how to empower debilitated planets will help us deal with these transits.

|Adopting a Pet using Jyotish
You'd be surprised how many people call for Jyotish consultations for their pets! Sometimes, before adopting a pet, they ask for the interpretation of the animal's birth chart of a particular litter of puppies, to check for things like potential health problems, to confirm that the chart shows loving and bonding capabilities, or even to choose a resonant name for their new already adopted pet.
The technique is similar to the naming of a new human baby. Often they ask for a compatibility study with their own and/or other family members charts. For example, you might not want to choose a pet with their sun sign falling in your own 8th house of misery and chronic health!
At this writing the Sun is just going into the sign of Gemini – so if you are Scorpio Lagna or Moon, you might want to wait for you new friend to be born in the Cancer sun sign, or choose from a litter born with the Sun in Taurus.
Even though the 5th house is the house of children, and the 6th house is the house of pets (those who "serve" you), if you do not have children, or if your children are grown and out of the house, then the 5th house must be observed in your own chart, as well as the 6th!
|In most cases the time of birth for animals is unknown, but if you have at least a day of birth and the correct year, you can read the chart from the Chandra lagna (moon chart as rising sign) and the Surya lagna (Sun as rising sign ) for health. Also, for the Vimshottari Dasas, you can calculate the Surya or Sun Dasas as the Sun only moves one degree a day, and as the Moon moves 10 degrees in a day, you can get a workable Dasa going using the Sun for calculation. (I developed this system when I researched the American stock market for about a decade). As the IPO for any given stock was the same, the time when the stock market opens, or the company when formed could have been at any unknown time of day, I began using Sun dasas for stocks – but that's another story, and not for the Light Notes column!
Lakota singing Happy Birthday to Luna Tune.
In the event, that no birth time is known, or even the month or day of your pets birth, then erect a Prasna (horary) chart for the moment you first see the pet, or that someone first asks you to adopt the pet. (I use Lakota's adoption chart, the date they released him as healthy enough to come home with me, to celebrate his birthday.) This chart should indicate the pros and cons of the adoption of that particular pet. Also, check this chart as a transit chart against your own chart, or consult a competent astrologer if you don't yet feel confident in reading prasna charts and as in all choices, listen to your heart!
|Guru Purnima July 2 - 7 2009
Hindus around the world celebrate the life of their Guru, or spiritual teachers on Guru Purnima each year. On the Hindu Calendar it occurs when the Moon is full in the Hindu month of Ashad. Most commonly its observed as a sacred day devoted to the memory of the great sage or man of wisdom and Knowledge, Veda Vyasa. An ancient saint, he edited and completed the Vedas (splitting one work into four parts), wrote the Puranas, and the Mahabharata. He was the son of Parashara who wrote the Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra that we follow today as students of Jyotish.
In writing the first chapter of the Mahabharata, he asked Ganesha to aid him as scribe.
Around the world, in all religions and belief systems, the spiritual leader, the Guru, the Sin Sei, the Master, the Teacher performs as an "intermediary," between God, or the higher realms and humanity, transmitting knowledge and blessing to mankind. Humility is often an indicator of a "true," teacher. I once heard the Great teacher (maha means great) Maharishi Mahesh Yogi say, that even if a teacher is a "false" teacher, if the aspirant or seeker is "true," they will find the bliss of success in their search.
My Taoist teacher has been known to say, "you have a little peep hole to look out on the universe, I just have a little bigger peep hole."

A fire that started in a backyard lumber pile and spread to a garage, seriously damaged an Audi parked inside, but did not spread to power lines or other structures.
Firefighters were called to the midtown blaze at about 12:15 p.m. Saturday. The home is located in the 3300 block of East Linden Street between North Country Club Road and North Palo Verde Boulevard. It took four minutes to bring the fire under control.
"The cause of the fire is still under investigation though it was determined that the fire started in a lumber pile outside the garage and worked its way into the eaves and attic space of the garage, then worked its way down into the rest of the garage," Capt. Barrett Baker, spokesman for the Tucson Fire Department, said in a news release.
The cost of damage has yet to be determined, he said.
Baker suggests homeowners keep combustible materials, such as lumber and foliage, away from structures.
"Removing the fuel from around a structure can prevent a brush fire from becoming a house fire," he said.

Below in quotes is what I pasted over at wsufootballblog and thought I would share. There has been some good dialogue on both websites. I see the 2 camps as this: Camp 1 is supporting PW based upon his new recruits and some of the guys they already have in the program pointing to the fact that they are talented and class acts. These supporters also pt to the injuries as the reason for non-competitive football. Their position is that this yr is a complete throw away and we cannot truly even begin evaluating PW until next yr.
Camp 2 is concerned that we are heading the way of UW with Paint Dry Tye. Good recruits, class acts, but the coach (TW) was unable to produce results. Obviously this camp does not want to waste another 2 years if this is where we are headed. As support for their position, they pt to the lack of competitiveness with the majority of teams WSU has played over the last 17 games (and competitiveness being defined as being w/in 7 pts at half). They also pt to PW's complete abandonment of his offensive philosophy last yr as someone who is completely unsure of himself and in over his head and the Lopina/Lobbestal/Tuel disaster.
Camp 2 certainly recognizes the economics, but at the same time as an attorney I certainly know how companies spread costs, particularly unexpected costs over time with backloading contracts. I am in Camp 2 and I have a number of buddies on both sides of the camp and everyone wants what is best for the Cougs. So I tried to come up with an objective solution to appease my Camp 2, which is the reason for my below post.
BTW, I am just having fun because I recognize that even if PW is another TW that decision won't likely come until the end of next yr. unless of course he doesn't even meet my standard which is read by some big donor who then sends him packing as a consequence!
Ok, ok. I am beating a deadhorse, but I have to until Longball cries uncle.
Numerous posters has pointed to Idaho to show how to rebuild. I first have to disclose that I am a graduate of U of I as well as Wazzu, but my backing is solely of Wazzu but I am always glad to see Idaho do well except against Wazzu.
Here is a link or website to CFN season review of Idaho for 2008. http://cfn.scout.com/2/837819.html If you see, Idaho was competitive in some games, but often threw great one or two punches at the beginning of the game against some of their bigger opponents before being taken behind the woodshed.
So I am throwing down the gauntlet Longball, if you want me to believe that PW is rebuilding us like UI, then in the remaining games we need to be competitive (i.e., within 7 at half) or possess a lead sometime in the 1st qtr. If you don't think PW is capable of doing that, tell me why I should give him a free pass

CATEGORIES Action, Drama, Box Office, Box Office Predictions, UK Box Office, Cinematical, UK Box OfficeI'm thinking this 3D thing may be here to stay. This past weekend saw a new 3D flick push a slightly older one out of the top spot, and there's yet another being released this week. Last week's other new release, Hot Tub Time Machine, slid into third with a modest take. Here's the top five:
1. How to Train Your Dragon: $43.7 million
2. Alice in Wonderland: $17.7 million
3. Hot Tub Time Machine: $14 million
4. The Bounty Hunter: $12 million
5. Diary of a Wimpy Kid: $10.1 million
Here's our three new releases for the week:
Clash of the Titans
What's It All About: Epic fantasy set in ancient Greece with Perseus, descended from the gods but raised by humans, embarking upon a dangerous mission to prevent Hades from overthrowing Zeus.
Why It Might Do Well: People do love the 3D, the monsters look pretty cool and having Liam Neeson and Ralph Fiennes in the cast can't hurt.
Why It Might Not Do Well: Rottentomatoes.com gives this an 18% fresh rating. Ouch.
Number of Theaters: 3,600
Prediction: $68 million
The Last Song (Opening on Wednesday)
What's It All About: In this drama from the author of The Notebook, Miley Cyrus plays a teen who spends the summer getting reacquainted with her father in the wake of her parent's divorce.
Why It Might Do Well: Cyrus has a screen presence that may outlive her teeny-bopper image, and Greg Kinnear is a good choice for playing the Dad.
Why It Might Not Do Well: Many of the kids in Miley Cyrus's fan base may find that this departure from the norm isn't their cup of tea, and the phrase "from the author of The Notebook" should keep a lot of men out of the theater. .
Number of Theaters: 2,500
Prediction: $14 million
Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married Too
What's It All About: In this sequel to 2007's Why Did I Get Married, 8 friends reunite once again for their annual week long vacation.
Why It Might Do Well: Perry usually manages to find his audience. The previous film made a respectable $55 million domestically.
Why It Might Not Do Well: This may be a small enough film to get lost in the shuffle.
Number of Theaters: 2,000
Prediction: $21 million
Depending on how things go next week we may actually have three 3D flicks in the top five. Here's my prediction:
1. Clash of the Titans
2. How to Train Your Dragon
3. Why Did I Get Married Too
4. The Last Song
5. Alice in Wonderland
Congrats to all five participants who tied for first place. Seems like what tripped up most of us is that we expected Diary of a Wimpy Kid to outdo The Bounty Hunter. Here's how we all did:
1. Gregory Rubinstein: 12
1. patronofchaos: 12
1. Sebastian: 12
1. greatone: 12
1. Vera: 12
2. nick91884: 11
3. Matt: 8
3. Brandon: 8
3. Smiggy: 8
3. bob: 8
3. Ethan: 8
3. Robocop's Credit Card: 8
Post your predictions for the top five movies in the comments section below before 5:00PM Eastern Time on Friday. One point for every top five movie correctly named, two points for every correct placement, and one extra point for the top movie.

Why I always choose Windows...
Being the Microsoft Tribe forum, I'm certain that there's more than just a handful of comparisons between Windows and Apple. However, with Windows 8 out in distribution and a new wave of hardware available for consumers, I was faced with the task of upgrading my previous outfit, and had the chance to revisit this debate--"Mac vs. PC."
Let's take a look at the hardware selection. All of Apple's MBP's look alike--in fact, to the layman, they are nearly indistinguishable except for their size. I would assume that someone more familiar with their products might say "that's the point." However, I've always been a fan of diversity, even if I prefer a more consolidated and simple design, myself.
Apple's product do seem to have a shine. It's not hard to see why people often describe them as being the "Mercedes-Benz" of computing. However, unlike Mercedes-Benz, which offers a variety of cars for different purposes (the S-class, SLR, CLS, CL, E, C, etc.), Apple only offers one design. True, the aluminum uni-body and glossy screen look good. But so does an exceptionally crafted black pen. How well the ethos of design (and limited design, I should add) translates into function is another story.
I understand that there are individuals who purchase their computers as they would a handbag or fashion accessory--more for the statement rather than the usage. However, Gucci and LV bags/items are of superior quality (at least that's what we're told justifies their prices) compared to their cheaper, mass-produced, brethren.
(Again, I feel that this analogy doesn't hold well simply because even Gucci and LV handbags come in a clear variety of forms)...
Regarding PC design, for the past decade, OEM's, besides Lenovo (Thinkpad) and Sony, have really produced garbage for design--focusing, instead, upon the internals and cheaper price points. This makes the technology more accessible, but it's experience vastly weaker. Where Apple hinders itself from a considerable lack of diversity, Windows OEM's cut themselves with a severe under-appreciation of stand out design.
However, this has changed over the last three years, with Samsung, Toshiba, Asus, and Acer (along with the other heavy weights), making significant inroads in design. What is nice about this is that we're provided with a variety of hardware, with each OEM looking to distinguish itself from the other OEM's.
Does this transition from price-point to design translate into superior function?
Windows PC's have, at their disposal, the largest network of devices. The sheer amount of variety is amazing--and of course, the quality of this "variety" could probably be plotted onto a graph--fitting the "bell" curve.
Apple PC's, on the other hand, have a more limited set of parts to be used. While Apple considers its choices to be more "selective" and "higher quality"--that really is subjective, and while I might not notice any difference were I a layman, I think that quality increases with diversity. Much akin to the argument about free-speech.
OK, enough with hardware--let's consider software: OS X vs. Windows...
I've used OS X devices before and I really don't see that much of a difference between it and Windows. However, I find some of its design elements to be a little archaic and kind of stifling. I'm more interested in producing or consuming the content, and would prefer an OS that attempts to maximize my efficiency in doing so. The menu system in OS X is kind of clunky, in my opinion, and, while notably shorter, reminds me of the massive lists used in Office 2003 except that the color scheme is black and white. How apps are displayed is essentially the same--you have something akin to a border, a header (with the ability to close apps, etc.), and such.
Not having right click really sucked. I don't understand why Apple would limit its hardware/software's ability to use more out of the mouse or trackpad I'm provided with. There are some mice on the Windows side that have 10+ buttons with customizable functions. I'm happy with two and a scroll wheel. But one is just jarring, and the "magic mouse" was kind of funky too. It's a little too sensitive on the desktop Macs. The trackpad on the MBP I used was excellent except for the lack of right click. I feel like this is just a waste of space.
As far as apps go, Macs seem pretty bare. Sure, they have a few starter apps (kind of like Windows Live), and I've heard that a lot of people use them for graphics design or whatnot--I'm not exactly sure why, considering that there's no right click. Let's put it this way--if you give both a Mac user and a Windows PC user an additional $200 on top of their $1,200 hardware, to spend on whatever they'd like to improve efficiency, I'm pretty sure that the PC user would oust the Mac user. For example, if I was the Windows user, I'd just buy that 10+ button mouse, and put copy, paste, etc., into the buttons. I'm pretty sure that'd save me 5 minutes on every hour, at the least, lol. The options for a Mac user just haven't been provided. Apple, I feel, has devoted itself to provided essentially two OS X devices (mac, mbp) that work well, but aren't really exceptional at anything.
On Windows, there is literally an "app for that." I really don't even need to describe how many apps there are for Windows--my one complaint, however, is that there really hasn't been that many, successful, consolidated efforts at establishing software libraries. Some may suggest that there are probably thousands of websites dedicated for that exact thing. My point is that when it comes to libraries, the idea of a Windows App store makes sense.
Alright, so Windows 8 is a different beast and is promising a better experience than Windows 7. Let me begin by saying that my budget isn't exactly constrained, and that I am used to fairly expensive, capable, and aesthetic computers. Hence, why I haven't really explored the whole "I can get a $500 windows PC that can do what your $1,300 MBP can do!" I've a penchant for expensive things, and honestly, almost considered buying a Mac for the price point alone. However, where Apple has been a very solid and proficient E-Class, the new Windows 8 PC's (at my price range) is like a troupe of Porsche's, Tesla's, M3's, and even an Aventador or two.
There's a considerable degree of variation of design among high-end Windows 8 PC's. They look and feel very nice--and many have more capable internals than their Apple counterparts. Additionally, many are easily adjusted and can be customized to a degree undreamed of within Mac circles. The hardware variety is just superb.
Back to Windows 8-- it's essentially windows 7 with the addend functionality of tablet usage. I can understand the whole "two OS's in one" description, because that's essentially what is going on. For my desktop I'm literally always in Desktop mode (except in cases where I need to search for an app, look up a file, etc.) On my laptop, however, Modern UI provides a refreshing and unique presentation. It also expands the capabilities of what a PC can do, and is bringing Microsoft full circle to it's vision of "three screens and a cloud."
In the future, I assume, you will keep a small computing device at home, and then use a big screen at home, carry a lightweight screen when you go out, and keep a small screen in your pocket at all times--all while being connected to the same "computer." This seamless experience is being offered, head-first, by Microsoft, and Windows 8 is a testament to that.
Some people dislike the tile interface--and that is their prerogative. However, choosing between static icons or live icons is pretty much a no brainer to me (I'd rather have function WITH form), and the full-screen space provided for each app is almost the same to what other, mobile, OS's offer. Windows 8 seems to be a better platform than iOS and Android. Comparing it to OS X is kind of a moot point now, as the two are widely divergent on mobile usage, while Windows offers a better desktop solution (basically it can do everything OS X can do, but faster and cleaner). From what I've heard just recently, Apple is considering to go the Windows route by slowly reducing their skeuomorphic design elements and by replacing it with a "cleaner" look.
Windows PC's have more variety and tend to integrate form with function to provide devices that can do more with comparable build quality and design with Apple. Windows 8 is a step above and two steps forward for computing--it's faster, more stable, and more capable than any other OS on the market. Even if you love Windows 7 you have to admit that Windows 8 is Windows 7+modern UI/start screen, with a cleaner and faster interface.
And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why I always choose Windows.

I created this website as a supplement to The Haitian Declaration of Independence in an Atlantic Context, a conference hosted and funded by the Robert H. Smith International Center for Jefferson Studies. Since the conference, I have revised the website with the intention of sustaining a discussion about Haiti's founding documents and their influences on the broader Atlantic.
You can find a summary of the conference at the Legal History Blog and you can also see a Twitter summary of the conference at David Armitage's storified recap of the live tweeting from the conference (#HaitiDOI). Stay tuned for an edited volume entitled The Haitian Declaration of Independence, forthcoming with the UVA Press.

Look, we're all Sens fans here.. But obviously, we're not all from Ottawa.
It was awesome seeing some of the guys from the blog during the SSS game night, even if I wasn't with all of you during the game. So, seeing how it's a bit harder for me and I'm sure a lot of us to go to Ottawa. I propose that we make a meet up for everyone in the GTA to meet up and watch a game over some beers?
Let's make this happen people! Show Toronto our true colours, and let's represent the Sens in a fashionable matter, eh?
Respond in the comments if you can attend and where it would be best for everyone to see the game so I can plan it out. If anything, just email me through the email on my profile. Hopefully this works out and let's get some support for our team!

School playhouse is a memorial to Pool pupil
4:14pm Thursday 31st January 2013 in News By Jim Jack, Reporter
Mick and Samantha Reilly are joined by pupils and staff outside the new play cottage at Pool C of E School, built in memory of their son Colin
Three cheers sounded at a Wharfedale primary school this week to celebrate the life of "a little boy who lived to play".
Year one pupil Colin Reilly, whose serious health problems meant he relied on oxygen and had to be tube-fed, died two years ago at the age of five.
He was a well known and much loved member of Pool C of E Primary, with a renowned sense of humour, so when the school decided to do something special in his memory 'fun' had to be the theme.
The school's PTA, headed at the time by Sabine Stoves, embarked on a major fundraising drive and Tuesday saw the fruits of its labour with the opening of Colin's Cottage – the centrepiece of the new Foundation Stage playground.
Children in Year 3 and 4, who all knew Colin, came out to cheer as his parents Sam and Mick, supported by their four daughters, cut the ceremonial ribbon.
Mrs Reilly said: "We'd just like to say thankyou to everybody and say how proud we feel you've done this for Colin.
"I can't thank you enough for the time and care you gave him while he was here. It's so nice to see what an impact he had, on such a lot of people, in just a short time."
Colin's father Mick said: "He was only here for a short time but a good time, and everybody around him was a great help."
His eight-year-old sister Emily, who, like Colin, was adopted by the Reillys, had drawn a picture of him for the opening along with the words "love you", which will be displayed inside the playhouse.
Headteacher Mark McDermid said: "Colin's Cottage was the way our school could celebrate the life of Colin who we all fondly remember and was an inspiration.
"I am so pleased the pupils of Colin's class and Emily's, who were in the year above Colin, are also here to celebrate the opening.
"And I am delighted Mr and Mrs Reilly and family are here to officially open the play area. It is a celebration of Colin and what he meant to us.
"Colin had a short life though it was lived to the full.
"His illness sadly finally overcame him, but I believe the inscription on the cottage says it all: Colin was a boy 'who lived to play' – those who knew him will always remember him and his joy for life."
Mr McDermid singled out the PTA for praise, and also thanked Awards For All, ward and parish councillors, the Summer Club of St Wilfrid's Parish Church, the Kingfisher Club and Pool Pre-School for their support.

School wins cash to strengthen Ugandan links
2:00pm Monday 14th January 2013 in Banbury
A school has won funding to take part in an initiative bringing together teachers from both sides of the globe.
In 2005, Sibford School, in Sibford Ferris, near Banbury, won funding from the British Council to take part in a twinning programme with Mbarara Preparatory School in Western Uganda.
But after five years, numerous exchanges between teachers from both schools, and a visit by sixth form pupils in Banbury to Uganda, funding was no longer available.
The two fee-paying schools remained in touch and now Sibford has been awarded an annual grant of £1,500 to help further links as part of the new Connecting Classrooms initiative — a UK Government and British Council education programme aimed at linking schools around the world.
Sibford junior school teacher Edward Rossiter, who visited the school with sixth form pupils in 2010, said: "It is a fantastic opportunity to share teaching practices.
"It's very easy to think we are in the developed world and we have got these things sorted out, but when you see the standard of education that takes place and the quality of education and learning it is eye-opening given the shortage of resources."

I used the Treat Bag Cover tutorial from SCS to present some small Valentine's Day toys for my friend's son.
All the stamps are from Market Street Stamps- A Bit of Burlap, Enjoy Today, and Perfectly Pretty Grid. You may know that I love background stamps, they are just so versatile. And, Market Street Stamps sizes theirs larger then a card front which takes away the stress of lining them up properly.
Just a little die cutting and punching helps to add a little dimension. I am really enamored with buttons tied with twine....delish!
Just so you know, Market Street Stamps is starting peeks of their new release starting on February 21st. You better head on over to their blog to take a look, you won't want to miss it!

Personally, give Smith his 9 million and be done with it. According to NFL.com Smith is a more dominant more athletic version of Fluker. Why talke the chance on the draft or step back with Vollimer or the like in FA. But supposing it happens where would the Bengals drafts plans change. Whitworth to RT and Collins to LT, don't see it unless it was an absolute emergency. Bengals would've done this already if that mix was better. What about Wharton at RT? Don't see that either. But I do know this Whit is starting to age, if Bengals don't sign Smith take Fluker this year if he's there and next draft Whit's heir and hope he's flexible enough to play guard until Whit's contract is up.
Could Whit play RT - he'd be better than Bolig at LG. IMO

Bradford housing charity CHAS @ St Vincent's to launch new HQ
4:28pm Tuesday 2nd April 2013 in News By Kathie Griffiths, T&A Reporter
Two housing aid charities merged into one last year are about to celebrate the official opening of their new home so they can grow stronger together.
CHAS @ St Vincent's is planning an opening ceremony at its new premises in Allenby House, Rees Way, Undercliffe, on Thursday, April 11.
Its director Ruth Batty says it marks the first major step to helping them better serve the people of Bradford – and now beyond into West Yorkshire.
In April 2012, CHAS Bradford joined national charity St Vincent de Paul Society (England and Wales), which opened doors for the Bradford side of the venture to be part of the bigger organisation's regional and national funding bids.
All of CHAS Bradford's existing funding contracts were moved across to the new organisation, which included the support it gets from Bradford Council and social housing provider Incommunities.
There are 23 staff and a team of 15 volunteers currently working from the new base, which expects to have around 6,000 people a year using its furniture service and help about 80 people with debt and social advice every week.
Mrs Batty said the charity was "settling in nicely", having moved from its previous furniture warehouse and advice office in Rebecca Street that its staff shared with Incommunities.
"It's good for us all to be back under the same roof and it's easier for the people who come to us to have access to everything we do in just the one-stop," she added.
"Like a lot of smaller charities, CHAS was struggling because grant-givers seemed to be looking more at regional bids. St Vincent's had the same ethos as us to prevent homelessness and help those in poverty, so that's why we asked if we could join them."
CHAS began in Bradford in 1965 as the Catholic Housing Aid Society, giving out legal housing advice. From there it grew to include other issues, from debt advice to immigration, welfare and benefits.
Despite its name and being founded by members of the Catholic Church, no one has to be linked to a church to work with them or use the service.
Volunteers are always needed to join the charity and help it reach out to even more people in need.
Those interested can e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.

(ENS) Sudanese Christians under increasing pressure, Khartoum bishop says
Times are tense for North Sudan's Christians, said Episcopal Bishop of Khartoum Ezekiel Kondo, who was visiting the U.S. in October to meet with the Department of State and major nongovernmental organizations and to speak on a panel at an anti-genocide conference sponsored by Save Darfur.
Since July 9, when South Sudan became an independent country, Christians in the majority Muslim north have been under increasing pressure, Kondo said.
"As far as the north goes, the independence has brought a difference," he said. Christian government officials and private sector workers have been laid off; the government is introducing full Islamic Sharia law which poses a challenge to the church; and South Sudanese are not being given citizenship. People are leaving or being forced out, and the church in Khartoum has been diminished.

The cards that rotated into Fourth Edition appeared with black borders as a special card set called Renaissance in French and German. The foreign-language editions of Chronicles initially appeared as black-border sets, except for Italian. Instead, there was a special Italian black-border version of Renaissance that included Chronicles cards, but not cards that originally appeared in Legends or The Dark. This is why there are two separate card lists for Renaissance.

Get ready to be blown away by Aubrey O'Day!
The singer -- and star of All About Aubrey -- has released the official cover artwork for her new single, "Automatic." Fans of the hit Oxygen series will recognize the song from the show's opening sequence. The release is a dream come true for the former Danity Kane member, who is hitting Hollywood with a new focus and drive to make her comeback and debut her first solo work.
Natch, Aubrey is super stoked about the song, saying:
"I'm a proud new SRC/Universal Motown artist and I want to thank SRC CEO Steve Rifkind for believing in me. I also want to thank my loyal fans who have kept me going through this long journey of ups and downs. That's why I'm excited to share my first dance single, 'Automatic,' with them. It's the first song I recorded for my solo project because I wanted to represent all the people who don't feel the need to go all out to get attention. This song is for everyone who automatically commands attention whenever they walk into a room! Everything they do is Automatic!"The single will be available for purchase exclusively at iTunes starting on April 12, but you can see the scorching hot artwork right now!

It wasn't their sharpest game, but the Jesuit Tigers (30-1) advance to the State Finals for the first time since 1985. The Tigers lead from start to finish against Jacksonville's Bishop Kenny (24-7), but they had to fend off a late rally.
Jesuit lead by as many as 15, but the Bishop Kenny put together a 14-5 run in the second half and whittle the Tiger's lead to 2 with less than two minutes to play.
Senior point guard JJ Weir came up with a critical steal and found Joey Galvis down the floor to give the Tiger's a 40-44 with 1:20 to play.
Galvis lead a team of five starting seniors with 16 points.
"Typical Joey Galvis, said Jesuit Head Coach Neal Goldman tells Fox 13 Sports. Hitting big shots, making key steals, making key plays down the stretch, that's what he's down for us the whole year."
Hitting a 3-pointer on his first shot, Galvis felt in rhythm.
"Oh definitely, said Galvis. Once that first one went in. I knew the 'green light' was going to go from there."
The Tiger's looked like they were going to run away with this game, until their perimeter shooting went cold. After shooting 50 percent from 3-point distance in the first half. The Tigers hit on just 2 out of 10 in the second half.
Devin Harris back Galvis's performance with 15 points. The Tiger's 3-point specialist Jack Fleming connected on only 2 of 11 from outside.
"I think it's going to be quite a game tomorrow, said Goldman. I just think having experience of being on the floor today. Going through that today and having the close game will loosen us up tomorrow."
"We were 3 from 11 from the line. Hopefully we can change that a little bit. I think tomorrow we will be a little more confident out there on the floor."
Jesuit hasn't won two state titles in 1950 and 1994. Members of both teams were in Lakeland cheering on their alma mater.
"It would be very special, said Tigers Athletic Director Terry Rupp, who lead Jesuit to the 1984 title. It's been spread out over a number of years. It's a very difficult thing to do, win the state basketball championship in the state of Florida. It's just a special moment and we are just hoping our guys can come through."
Cookie Garcia is one of 7 members left from Jesuit's first state championship team that captured in crown in 1950. How special would it be for him to see another banner raised?
"I'd be willing to climb the latter myself and put it up, said Garcia."
Jesuit plays American Heritage tomorrow at 10am for the 5A state title.

Oakland offensive tackle Mario Henderson has been arrested on gun charges according to Florida police. Henderson is charged with possession of a concealed weapon , possibly putting to rest the question ...will he be back in silver and black this season.
Though Florida probably won't drop the hammer on Henderson the way N.Y did on Burress , the conduct code in the NFL was put in place because the league was embarrassed by the arrests of players over gun charges and such.
With the lockout it could be a while before Goodell gets to suspend or fine anybody , but he's already got a 1/2 dozen players to deal with when this break is over that have been arrested just since the lockout , and though I believe he wont be judge , jury and executioner when league business resumes , I'm pretty sure Henderson will be missing a considerable amount of time .

There's a scene in Spike Lee's "Malcolm X" (1992) where the title character recalls his mother being harassed by the Ku Klux Klan in Nebraska while pregnant with him. They shatter her windows with rifles as she frantically pleads to be left alone with her children. A white band of KKK members cover the skyline, riding off into the moon. One of the most visually striking scenes in the film, it immediately sets the context into which Malcolm was born, one that he'd spend his life combating.
The film, based on "The Autobiography of Malcolm X" by Alex Haley and Malcolm X, with a script written by Spike Lee and Arnold Perl, faced similar turbulence because of its subject matter. Lee was unable to obtain proper studio funding for the project, resorting to a widespread fundraising campaign targeting well-known Black celebrities and philanthropists, eventually releasing a book detailing the struggle. But what made the film much more than a dramatic documentation about a popular figure were its performances. Denzel Washington, then a rising actor after turns in "Glory" and "Mo' Better Blues," approached the role with a fierce eye for mastery. Even as new information about Malcolm's life has been unveiled over the years, Washington's portrayal of the man still resonates with a certain truth. His ability to deliver Malcolm's diction, his body language, his confident, assured demeanor when swarmed by reporters, or when addressing a massive group of followers in a protest, all comes through.
Lee also does an amazing job of capturing the different worlds that Malcolm inhabited throughout his life, making them part of a stunning continuum of experiences. One scene recalls his time as a popular lindy-hop dancer in Boston. Bodies flip, slide, and dip between each other in colorful zoot suits and dresses, while a band plays a roaring set. There, Malcolm comes alive with love interest Laura (Theresa Randle) in one of the most well-choreographed dance scenes in film. By the end of it, the audience has experienced this movement, and continues on the journey with Malcolm.
Lee couples these more joyous scenes with ones of intense pain, and a certain recognition of an eventual doom. We are present with Malcolm as he crawls around the floor of a jail cell, when he addresses the small gathering of Muslims as a new minister, and even when he bears the pain of his first "conk." Malcolm is at his best and at his worst in this film. Washington plays him as a person, and not as a "hero" or a "figure."
In recent conversations about upcoming biopics, including who will be cast, and who will direct, a closer look at this film could provide insight into capturing the life and work of popular figures. Beyond the physical likeness that is at times important, there's a commitment that an actor must make to studying and entering into the mind and world of the person they're portraying.
Denzel Washington did this, setting into motion a trajectory that has cemented him as one of the world's most talented performers. There's a way that the "figure" must be dramatized, not as a saint, but as a human being, and a world that must be created by the director, that the audience readily enters. In all of these aspects, "Malcolm X" succeeded and stands as one of the great biopics, and films, in current cinema.
Other than "Malcolm X," what are some of the best (and worst) casting decisions made for a Black biopic?

I never bought Will Smith as Muhammad Ali. It was a nice try, but Smith lacked the gravitas for the role. Jaime Foxx was pretty good as Ray Charles.
However, though it wasn't a bio pic, Eddie Murphy killed it as his James Brown stand-in. James "Thunder" Early.
"Malcolm X" is brilliant and probably Spike's best. Even better than "Do the Right Thing."

I think many of Spike's films aren't that great, Malcolm X being an exception. Personally I think it's the reason for so many biopics in the past 15 years, showing how well it can be done. The subsequent success of "A Beautiful Mind" as a result.

I cant but think of President Barack Obama invited to dinner at the Huxtables, because i don't See Malcohm's REVOLUTIONARY SIDE at the end of life, especially with the honorable Kwade Nkrumah,Shirley Dubois who were his his intellectual spark/elders in their 1st organized cadre circle.Malcolm X aka El Malik Shabazz last name sake was OMOWALE(the son has returned).

Malcolm X is one of the top movies of the 20th century, not sure who has read the book but the movie is literally the autobiography come to life! The opening scene of the movie is on the first stories told in the autobiography. Spike Lee got it right with this movie, I still feel the movie is owed professional acknowledgement but the people who know, KNOW. There is NO ONE that could have played Malcolm except Denzel, Denzel was literally Malcolm X for 3 hours! One the few movies that can be watched for 3 hours and you will not care.

I think Ving Rhymes was a surprising, refreshingly out-the-box, and inspired casting choice as Don King in "Only In America".
In regards to "Malcolm X", on the supporting actor tip, Al Freeman's performance as Elijah Muhammad? Completely slept on.
Darryl | March 12, 2013 7:37 PM
Malcom X is the greatest biopic picture ever done. It's in my top 5 films of all time. Everything worked for it, the direction, script, acting, cinematography, production design, costume design, music. It is a masterpiece.

"I truly believe that if ever a state social agency destroyed a family, it destroyed ours."

Excellent analysis! Well-written, concise and non-biased.
"Beyond the physical likeness that is at times important, there's a commitment that an actor must make to studying and entering into the mind and world of the person they're portraying. There's a way that the "figure" must be dramatized, not as a saint, but as a human being, and a world that must be created by the director"
In my opinion, the conversation could stop, or start, right there. Denzel's commitment to many of his characters are testaments to his dedication and professional approach in capturing/wearing the life and work of popular figures, i.e., Rubin "Hurricane" Carter, Bleek Gilliam ( Mo' Better Blues), Frank Lucas ( American Gangster) and Whip Whitaker (Flight).
More importantly, as you pointed out, the collaboration with the right director with the right vision, background and insight, is essential. Without question, Spike Lee was the right director for Malcolm X. I am reminded of the discussions on whether or not there are some African American stories a white director should not touch and why? Well, waxing poetic with a dash of political correctness could be my response, however, I'll simply present Malcolm X and Eve's Bayou as my answer. To embelish my opinion, I could add Menace II Society and Carl Franklin's "Devil In A Blue Dress" and "One False Move".
Having said that, everything... EVERYTHING revolves around the performance of the actor(s) and their ability to embody all the nuances of the characters in question.
Sooooo, that said... my selections for the best (and worst) casting decisions made for a Black biopic?
BEST: Jamie Foxx (Ray). Denzel (Malcolm X and Hurricane). Lawrence Fishburne ( What's Love Got To Do With It and "Thurgood Marshall" ). Angela Bassett (What's Love Got To Do With It). Jeffrey Wright "Muddy Waters" and Eamonn Walker "Howlin' Wolf" (Cadilac Records).
WORST: 1. Everybody in Betty and Coretta... YICKS!
2. Everybody in the awful "Notorious"... Sufferin' Succotash!... except, maybe, both actors who played Biggie.
3. The cast of The Jacksons: An American Dream. WOW! Of special note, Angela Bassett killed Tina Turner, but it appears Katherine Jackson, Biggie's momma and Coretta Scott King were a bit of a stretch, for her.
SAVANNAH MORGAN | March 11, 2013 9:11 PM
My personal best:
Diana Ross- "Lady Sings The Blues"
LEON - THE TEMPTATIONS "David Ruffin"
Angela Bassett/Laurence Fishbourne - Whats Love Got to Do With It -Ike & Tina
Columbus Short- Cadillac Records - Lil Walter

Seth Weintraub: Apple SDK coverage, semi-live
Apple is unveiling its software development kit for the iPhone. I'll be listing the details of the SDK as they come in and will add commentary along the way. [read more]
Computerworld - Apple Inc. announced on Thursday that it has licensed protocols from rival Microsoft Corp. to add Exchange support to its iPhone.
The company also unveiled a software developer's kit (SDK) that hands over the tools third-party developers need to write native, rather than Web-based, applications for the smart phone.
However, both new functions -- Exchange support and the ability to install non-Apple applications -- won't be added to the iPhone until June, CEO Steve Jobs said.
At the midmorning event at Apple's Cupertino, Calif., campus, executives said that the company had licensed Exchange ActiveSync from Microsoft and that it would roll out Exchange support in the Version 2.0 upgrade to the iPhone's software.
"We're building Exchange support so you get push e-mail, push calendaring, push contacts, global address lists and the ability to remote wipe [the iPhone]," said Phil Schiller, Apple marketing head, according to a transcript of the event posted by Engadget.
No new applications need to be added to the iPhone, Schiller said, because messages, appointments and contacts transferred from a company's Exchange mail server will end up in the iPhone's existing e-mail, calendar and address book applications. "The same e-mail app, calendar app and contact apps that customers really love will get information directly from the Exchange server," said Schiller.
A few enterprises have been testing the new Exchange support, Schiller said, citing both The Walt Disney Co. and Nike Inc. as early test sites. "I think when we release these features, people will be blown away that the iPhone is the best mobile device ever in enterprise," he added.
Another company official, Scott Forstall, who heads the iPhone software group, touted the SDK that Apple is releasing in beta form today to developers. "Third-party developers can build native iPhone applications using the same SDK that we do," said Forstall.
He also spelled out the frameworks and tools that developers will have at their disposal, including a variant of Mac OS X's Cocoa application framework and Xcode, a source-code editor and debugger. The Cocoa variant, called Cocoa Touch, is an "advanced touch event system," said Forstall. It lets developers access the iPhone's touch and gesture features, including the accelerometer, the tiny sensor in the iPhone that automatically switches between landscape and portrait display modes as the phone is turned on its axis, he said.
Other tools in the SDK include an interface builder and something new that Apple has dubbed the iPhone Simulator. "It runs on a Mac and simulates the entire API stack on your computer," Forstall said.

Town Square
Vayan Gigantes!
Original post made by Paul Losch on Oct 23, 2010
I have vague memories of my Little League days, but vivid memories as a parent of how my two kids participated in youth baseball and softball here in town with Palo Alto Little League, Babe Ruth Baseball, and PALY Softball.
Both my son and daughter are diehard baseball fans, and love the Giants. It has been a wonderful connection for us as they get into their young adult years and are far away from the Bay Area at this stage of their lives.
I just got off a Skype call with my son in Korea, and he was so excited I felt like he needed to e tied down.
This is just so fun. Let's share other family experiences about what is going on with the Giants.
on Oct 23, 2010 at 9:30 pm
Go Giants! Let's hope they do better than they did in 2002. I wonder if they will let Zito pitch? I hope not. It's one thing to watch a pitcher allow so many hits and walks, but when you try and comprehend all the money that they are paying him to choke, just can't watch that. It would really be a wonderful thing to bring home SF's first World Series Pennant.
on Oct 23, 2010 at 10:24 pm
The Giants were awesome!!! The Phillies and their fans were horrible, along with the biased national media. I am very pleased the Giants won the series. Sweet.

"It was great to have the bands back on the fairgrounds, we had stellar entertainment; it was cool. I loved it! I loved it! I can't thank the sponsors enough," she concluded.
Fair-goers up and down the midway agreed. Comments were heard from those expressing gratitude to the sponsors who made it possible for free gate entry and rides and still others about the improved looks of the fairgrounds.

Toxins, chemicals, and pollutants. All bad for the immune systems. This gentle rare herb and spice based treatment lifts heavy metals and other toxins from the hair follicles, scalp, and oil glands, bringing clarity to the brain.
Zen Detox is formulated to benefit people of all ages and hair of all conditions. Its gentle detoxifying action promotes hair growth, a healthy scalp, and beautiful hair.One 4 ounce jar is good for 3 treatments.
Zen Detox is formulated to benefit people of all ages and hair of all conditions. It promotes hair growth by detoxing the hair follicles/root, oil glands and scalp.
This unique multi-purpose formula is a very gentle Spa Detox to lift heavy metals and other toxins from the scalp and oil glands, and cleanse hair follicles.
There are TWO main things for good health: To get the toxins OUT and to BUILD the immune system.
Morrocco Method Zen Detox has been uniquely created to assist in removing the causes, not just the symptoms of disease. Our Zen Detox features Clays, which have been chosen over hundreds of clays for the most consistent results. An imported Volcanic Ash is added along with the synergistically tested formulas of spices and herbs.
For cancer patients or prevention, and those with a compromised immune system, Zen Detox is an ideal product to include safely with other forms of treatment and will assist greatly in detoxifying chemical residuals. Zen Detox is also wonderful for people who live in hard water locations, as well as swimmers or gym members who use chlorinated pools and incur a toxic buildup of water treatment chemicals.
There are over 70,000 chemicals being used in commercial production in the U.S. Medical researcher, Alan Levine, M.D. believes that, "the vast increase of chemicals in our environment, foods and medicines has greatly altered the body's ability to rid itself of toxins." The immune system provides for our first, second and third lines of defense against everyday germs, viruses and bacteria.
Zen Detox therapy assists in detoxing Mercury which is now associated with over 200 diseases. Mercury is especially associated with neurological and behavioral disruptions including depression, allergies, food sensitivities and chronic illness.
Morrocco Method Zen Detox is a therapeutic method to assist in detoxing accumulated chemicals from synthetic shampoos, conditioners, styling products, coloring agents, perms, hair relaxers, and Sodium Laurel Sulfate. There are 38 different names for SLS including DEA, TEA, MEA and Cocomide, a synthetic so-called coconut oil.
There are a wide variety of toxic exposures, including environmental and industrial pollution, toxic water and air.
All of these chemicals and pollutants are stored in the body, in our glands and immune system.
Over a period of time the body cannot naturally detox and the toxic build up causes diseases and can be carcinogenic. The herbs and spices enhancing this unique formula help eliminate the chemicals, heavy metals and often carcinogenic exposures of daily living. Although immunity can decline with age, more often the weakening of the immune system is due to long term exposure to toxins. The role of the immune system is immense - from fighting viruses and germs, to coping with debilitating autoimmune diseases and cancer.

Types of Eating Disorders
The following definitions come from the ANRED site:
Anorexia nervosa
- Person refuses to maintain normal body weight.
- Weighs 85% or less than what is expected for age and height.
- In women, menstrual periods stop. In men levels of sex hormones fall.
- Young girls do not begin to menstruate at the appropriate age.
- Person denies the dangers of low weight.
- Is terrified of gaining weight.
- Reports feeling fat even when very thin.
- In addition to the above, anorexia nervosa often includes depression, irritability, withdrawal, and peculiar behaviors such as compulsive rituals, strange eating habits, and division of foods into "good/safe" and "bad/dangerous" categories.
Bulimia nervosa
- Person binge eats.
- Feels out of control while eating.
- Vomits, misuses laxatives, exercises, or fasts to get rid of the calories.
- Diets when not bingeing.
- Believes self-worth requires being thin.
- May shoplift, be promiscuous, abuse alcohol or drugs or abuse credit cards.
- Weight may be normal or near normal.
- Like anorexia, bulimia can kill. Even though bulimics put up a cheerful front, they are often depressed, lonely, ashamed, and empty inside. They have great difficulty talking about their feelings, which almost always include anxiety, depression, self-doubt, and deeply buried anger.
Binge eating disorder
- The person binge eats frequently and repeatedly.
- Feels out of control and unable to stop.
- May eat rapidly and secretly, or may snack and nibble all day long.
- Feels guilty and ashamed.
- Has a history of diet failures.
- Tends to be depressed and obese.
- People who have binge eating disorder do not regularly vomit, overexercise, or abuse laxatives. They may be genetically predisposed to weigh more than the cultural ideal, so they diet and then binge in response to the hunger. Or they may eat to comfort themselves, avoid threatening situations, and numb emotional pain. Regardless of the reason, diet programs are not the answer and almost always make matters worse.
Why Do People Do It?
People with eating disorders appear to share a common personality type. They may suffer from low self-esteem and a strong need for control in their lives. They are often perfectionists and over-achievers. Eating may be a way to cope with stress and anxiety for many. Unfortunately it is followed by extreme guilt and a fear of gaining weight.
Who Gets Eating Disorders?
According to Room 42 Resource Center, eating disorders appear to run in families, with females being affected most often. Whether this is genetic or a result of parental attitudes is not certain. One study found that mother's who are overly concerned about their daughter's weight and attractiveness may put their child at risk. It has also been found that girls with eating disorders often have fathers or brothers who are critical about their weight.
Most of those with eating disorder are young and adolescent women, although men and older women can also be affected. Anorexia and bulimia are found most often in Caucasian women. Binge eating disorder, in contrast, affects African Americans and Caucasians at an equal rate. About 1/3 to 1/4 of it's victims are men.
Those in professions that put an emphasis on thinness are also prone to eating disorders.
Treatment depends upon what type of eating disorder the person has.
A person with binge eating disorder would typically be given antidepressants and cognitive therapy to help them recognize triggers, monitor their stress and modify their unhealthy responses to stress.
In addition to cognitive therapy and antidepressants, Bulimia treatment may also include psychodynamic therapy to focus on their self-esteem issues; group therapy, which is believed to bring about longer-lasting results in combination with other therapy types; family therapy to teach family members how their own behaviors may be contributing to the disease. Treatment for bulimia also usually involves nutritional counseling. If the person is experiencing any life-threatening complications from their disorder, hospitalization may be a part of treatment also.
Anorexia treatment is much more likely to include hospitalization, especially if the patient has become severely malnourished. Cognitive therapy is used to help the patient sort out the unrealistic beliefs they have developed about their weight. It also helps them recognize triggers and learn healthy ways to cope with stress. Psychodynamic therapy is employed to help them recognize the emotional reasons behind their disorder and to help them accept weight gain. Family therapy is especially critical for teenagers living at home, because unhealthy family interactions may have played a large role in the original development of the disorder. Group therapy, helps the patient find support and role models for recovery. Antidepressants should be used with caution. Certain antidepressants may present health risks to the malnourished individual. Further, certain antidepressants suppress appetite and are not appropriate for the anorexic patient.

May 17, 2006
Leesburg -- The prosecution rested its case about 5:30 Wednesday afternoon. A 90-minute audio tape was played in the courtroom.
About an hour into his interview with Donnie Spillers, GCI Special Agent Donnie Davis is pulled from the room, to hear that Deputy Sandra Pressley has confessed that Deputy Donnie Spillers had asked her to plant a throw away gun in Wesley Beaver's truck.
It wasn't until after GBI Special Agent Davis called Donnie Spillers a liar to his face that he started to talk. Davis is heard to say on the tape: "I want to hear the truth, and if I don't hear the truth, I'm fixing to shut this down, I'm fixing to call the sheriff, and your fixing to get in some serious hot water, young man."
Spillers then confessed to agent Davis about asking for a second gun.
Spillers on the AudioTape: "I said 'Sandra, do you have a gun?' She said, 'I don't know...' I said 'Please help me.' She said 'I've got this one right here, and pointed to her holster. "
Davis encouraged him to continue. "I'm bound and determined to get the truth, now Donnie, I'm listening to you."
Spillers: "This part I'm not lying about. I thought I saw a seat belt, and what my intentions were, leaving that knife in there, might have been bad the time I put it in there."
Davis prompts Spillers further on those intentions. "Your intentions were good when you put the knife where we found it?"
Spillers: "No sir, I can't promise you they were."
And Spillers eventually admits. "I guess to make it look like he had a weapon."
Spillers agrees with Davis when he admits that he messed up when he tried to cover up for the fact that Wesley Beaver had no weapon, but also questions whether he should have ever fired at all. "Now was my reaction right or wrong, I still can't tell you that to this day. I fired. Now was I supposed to fire or not...? "
The tape was initiated because of discrepancies between statements that Spillers had given to the GBI. The defense begins their case Thursday morning.
Jurors also heard expert testimony concerning 17-year-old Wesley Beaver's death. A firearms expert, a toxicologist, a forensic expert, and a state medical examiner took the stand. Several testified that tests for alcohol and six other drugs all came back negative. The state medical examiner testified that the gunshot caused Beaver's death.

Dec. 6 --House Republicans once again are demanding information from the Obama administration on what they say are its intentions to provide special treatment under the Affordable Care Act for Taft-Hartley plans, also known as multiemployer plans.
"Over the past several months, there have been reports the administration is considering various deals to placate union leaders' concerns regarding PPACA, including allowing millions of individuals in Taft-Hartley plans to receive preferential treatment not available to other Americans who have employer-provided health insurance," Rep. John Kline (R-Minn.), chairman of the House Education and the Workforce Committee, and Rep. Phil Roe (R-Tenn.), chairman of the panel's Health, Employment, Labor, and Pensions Subcommittee, said in a Dec. 3 letter to the Department of Health and Human Services.
The letter once again brought up concerns over an obscure part of final rules issued Oct. 24 by the HHS's Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services on the financial integrity and oversight standards for the health insurance marketplaces, or exchanges, created under the ACA .
The final rules stated that CMS intends "to propose in future rulemaking to exempt certain self-insured, self-administered plans from the requirement to make reinsurance contributions for the 2015 and 2016 benefit years."
In their letter to the HHS, the Republican lawmakers said, "Most self-insured employers do not self-administer their plans. However, it is our understanding many self-insured Taft-Hartley plans are self-administered. The administration appears to be attempting to shield unions from the ramifications of PPACA."
The letter requested that the HHS provide various pieces of information to the committee by Dec. 17, including "all legal analyses, documents, and communications" related to the writing of the final rules released on Oct. 24. In addition, the committee would like all legal analyses conducted by the HHS or provided to the agency relating to the treatment of Taft-Hartley plans under the ACA, the letter said.
