text: World View: Pakistan's Taliban Names 'Butcher of Swat' as Leader Print article Send a Tip by John J. Xenakis 8 Nov 2013 post a comment This morning's key headlines from GenerationalDynamics.com: 'Butcher of Swat' Fazlullah named as new chief of Pakistan's Taliban Fazlullah rejects peace talks with Pakistan's government European Central Bank cuts rates to fight deflationary spiral 'Butcher of Swat' Fazlullah named as new chief of Pakistan's Taliban Pakistan's citizens are expressing dismay that Tehrik-e-Taliban (TTP - the Pakistan Taliban) on Thursday selected Mullah Fazlullah as their new leader. Fazlullah has gotten the name "Butcher of Swat" because he led the Taliban in 2007-2009 to create rivers of blood with terrorist acts and a reign of terror in the Swat Valley of northwestern Pakistan, which used to be a beautiful tourist and ski resort. Finally, in 2009, Pakistan's army was able to drive Fazlullah and his terrorists into the tribal areas, and then across the border into Afghanistan. Fazlullah led a campaign to end a United Nations program to vaccinate children against polio, by murdering doctors and nurses who administered the vaccines. The result is that polio is endemic in Pakistan, as well as in Afghanistan and Nigeria. Fazlullah earned international notoriety for ordering the November 2012 shooting of Malala Yousafzai, a teenage girl from Swat who had campaigned against the TTP's bombing of schools. She narrowly survived after being airlifted to the United Kingdom for specialist medical treatment. She has since been feted across the world for her bravery, narrowly missing out on the Nobel Peace Prize. McClatchy and BBC Fazlullah rejects peace talks with Pakistan's government TTP's previous leader, Hakimullah Mehsud, was killed by an American drone strike, as we reported last week. The drone strike triggered an angry reaction from some Pakistani politicians, who claimed that Mehsud was about to enter into peace talks with the government. Imran Khan, the former cricket superstar turned anti-American politician, said one Wednesday that America launched the drone strike on purpose to prevent peace in Pakistan: Absolutely deliberate - this was a deliberate targeting of the peace process. The US clearly knew what was going on and everyone in Pakistan knew what was going on. We'd been waiting for two months for this peace process to start and then finally when everyone had come to a consensus for peace, they destroyed the peace process. The people of Pakistan want peace so we will do whatever is in our hands - which is to block the supply to put pressure on the US to stop this madness, because all it's doing is fanning fanaticism. The last sentence is a threat by Khan to close the Nato supply lines from the port of Karachi through Pakistan and across the Khyber Pass into Afghanistan. The government opposes this plan, but Khan threatened to ask his supporters to block the supply routes unless the U.S. ends the drone strikes permanently. The selection of Fazlullah as the new TTP leader confuses the picture substantially. For one thing, Fazlullah has always rejected any talk of peace plans, and he immediately repeated that rejection on Thursday: "Holding off peace talks is not even an issue to discuss – this government has no authority, it is not a sovereign government, it is a slave, a slave of America. Holding peace talks is a waste of time." However, other changes may be in the works. The choice of Fazlullah was a surprise to a number of analysts because they had expected the the new TTP leader to be another "Mehsud" -- that is, another member of the Mehsud clan which has led the TTP in the past. The choice of Fazlullah, who lives in Afghanistan and who is more bloody and hardline than previous TTP leaders, may signal that the entire TTP organization is becoming even more bloody and hardline than in the past. Some analysts have suggested that the selection of someone other than a Mehsud indicates that the TTP is splintering into groups that are more moderate and more violent. BBC and AFP European Central Bank cuts rates to fight deflationary spiral For years, Generational Dynamics has been predicting a deflationary spiral (as opposed to inflation or hyperinflation predicted by so-called experts). The Fed has been fighting off deflation by means of zero interest rates and $85 billion per month of "printed money" in the form of quantitative easing. Mario Draghi, the president of the European Central Bank (ECB), has been firm in denying that the ECB would follow the Fed's example, saying that deflation was not a danger in the eurozone. So the financial community was shocked on Thursday morning when Draghi announced a reduction in interest rates to 0.25% from 0.50% because of a fear of inflation. According to one analyst: "The ECB had to do something. The rise of the euro was becoming deflationary and threatening to choke off growth. It is very rare for a central bank to change its policy so dramatically from one month to the next so something profound must have happened." The "something profound" that happened was that the inflation rate in the eurozone plummeted to 0.7% in October, far below the ECB's target of 2%. And the fall in the inflation rate has been so rapid for the last six months, that Draghi feared that the euro was in a full-fledged deflationary spiral. Mainstream economists have predicted that the global financial crisis has ended, but Generational Dynamics predicts that it's far from over. Generational Dynamics predicts a global financial panic and financial crisis, accompanied by a worldwide deflationary spiral.

If, for some strange reason, you're not already familiar with N'East Style, do yourself the favor of getting acquainted toot sweet. Written by the ever-delightful Christine Mitchell, the site is a compendium of all things New England, as well as a platform for Mitchell's fantastic (I'm talking tattoo-worthy) original artwork. Being a huge fan of both Mitchell's talent and taste, I've asked her to begin sketching some of her favorite images from the menswear blogosphere for Well Spent. If we're lucky, this'll become a regular feature on the site – my fingers are very firmly crossed. The first batch of images is below. And holy smokes are they great.
Ryan Plett took some great shots of product (and people) at the recent Capsule tradeshow in NYC. This sketch is from a photo he took of Schott's striped blanket jacket.
I loved the Seven Questions feature with Owner Operator on Well Spent. Being a lady from the mountains of Vermont, I appreciate the quality and technical functionality of their goods and that all of it is in made in the USA.
As a sucker for waxed cotton I immediately fell in love with this Hill Climber Jacket in green from Taylor Supply. Flannel lined to boot!
I'm a huge fan of the products The Hill-Side turns out, especially their blanket ties and scarves from the F/W 2011 collection. Hope everyone made it out of 2011 with a piece or two!
This is a sketch of a still from Jake Davis's Test Shot of his lovely friend Eunice Lee of Unis. It's one of my top three favorites of his Test Shots. It's so peaceful with the falling snow, and Eunice is effortlessly stunning.
To see more of Mitchell's work, check out N'East Style or her portfolio site. You can also email her direct if you're interested in having her draw something for you (very wise move).

Yes, I "Made" the Kindle Fire Do That
"Aren't you wasting your time trying to turn an ebook reader into a productivity device?"
I was glad this conversation was taking place over the phone so my friend couldn't see me roll my eyes. I actually feel sorry for the folks at Amazon. I wonder how many times a day the ubiquitous "they" at the Mother Ship have to explain the Kindle Fire isn't just an ebook reader.
I wonder if they're getting as sick of the phrase "content delivery device" as I am. That sounded great the first time I used it. Now it's just annoying me. For years I've had a passion for taking cameras and doing things with them that people say can't be done. Like taking detailed macro shots with a point-and-shoot, only to have a snooty camera "friend" opine, with a puzzled look, "I didn't think you had the glass for that."
(Okay, fine. All hobbies have inside languages. But "the glass?" That's just pretentious in anyone's vernacular.)
So,why was I yet again trying to "make" an ebook reader be a productivity device? (A statement which assumes there's nothing productive about reading, but I digress.) I was telling my friend about qPDF Notes. And yes, before I go any farther, I paid $10 for this app. Which I almost never do.
And why did I do this? Basically to be able to mark up PDFs on the Kindle Fire with the same stylus I use for my iPad. You knew this was coming when I reviewed the Web Snaps app that lets me make the PDFs on the Kindle in the first place, didn't you? Because does it really make sense to create PDF notes on one tablet and then send them to another?
That would be "no." Just for the record.
If something works, and works well on a tablet, regardless of its origins, I don't think I'm "making" it do anything. All I need to do with a PDF is underline some passages, circle, star, maybe scribble a word or two in the margin. From that, I can take the "notes" and write. It's my thought process, that harkens back to the days of pen and paper.
Here's the deal. I believed "them" when "they" said we could have a paperless office, and I still want the darn thing.
Is qPDF worth $10? It is to me because it fulfills a productivity function I want on the device that is now my constant companion. Yes, the purists are right when they say there are other Android tablets out there with greater application flexibility, but with the exception of taking screen captures, which I haven't figured out, I've successfully "made" the Kindle do everything I need it to do.
And I've had fun doing it.
And no, I'm not about to have that argument with my friend, but I do believe it. You're more productive when you're having fun and enjoying the tools with which you work. I had fun "making" this aspect of my PDF use function on the tablet on which I wanted to use it.
Bottom line? Add qPDF to my list of favorite apps. Now, shoo! I have an article to write. From my underlined, starred, scribled notes. In multi-colors. On my content delivery device.

The airplane was substantially damaged when it overran the end of the runway on landing. The pilot reported that the intended destination was a private airstrip with an east-west oriented runway about 1,200 feet long, and a north-south oriented runway about 2,000 feet long. The pilot stated that when he overflew the windsock before landing, it appeared that winds were about 10 knots directly out of the north. He set up for a landing to the east; however, he "landed long" and subsequently "ran out of runway." The airplane encountered a rock pile located off the end of the runway. The pilot reported that upon exiting the airplane after the accident, he noticed that the wind was variable and appeared to have shifted. He commented that the wind might have gotten behind him on landing. Winds recorded at the Oscoda-Wurtsmith Airport (OSC), located about 16 nautical miles southeast of the accident site, at 1058, were from 280 degrees at 11 knots, gusting to 16 knots.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:

Historic Preservation not only makes good economic sense but is also a very sustainable practice.
In October 2007, the City helped fund the first Restore Jacksonville event. This three day program provided valuable information for homeowners, preservation enthusiasts, investors and contractors, from researching the history of ones home to navigating the Citys review processes. Five years later, the timing is perfect for holding a second Restore Jacksonville conference. This time taking it one step further to show how an old house can also be a green home.
Barnett Bank Building image courtesy of Nomeus.
In April 2011, the City of Jacksonville applied for a State of Florida Preserve America Grant to host a local historic preservation and sustainability conference. The basic goals and focus areas of the conference include:
1. Showcase how old buildings are inherently green
2. Showcase the best practices for making old buildings more energy efficient
3. Provide a training for contractors and other professionals working on historic buildings
4. Educate owners of older buildings on how to properly maintain and restore their structures
5. Inspire students/unemployed to pursue specialized building trades and increase the restoration workforce
6. Provide a better understanding of the Historic District Design Regulations and Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) review process
7. Educate the public on historic preservation and the economic benefits of historic preservation as outlined as an objective of Jacksonvilles Comprehensive Plan
During the first week of May 2012, homeowners and building professionals will have an excellent opportunity to learn more about how preserving older buildings was one of the first green concepts, how to make an old house more efficient, and how sustainability begins with preservation. Why stop with recycling plastic and aluminum when you can reuse an entire building, capitalizing on its unique character, original green design, old growth wood, existing infrastructure, urban setting and embodied energy?
This five day conference is filled with educational and entertaining sessions with nationally known speakers and local experts. The intense two-day training on Wednesday and Thursday will cover historic preservation and energy efficiency topics that enable contractors and other building professionals to become better experts for their clients and avoid costly mistakes. The general public sessions on Saturday will help homeowners make wiser choices for their older home, while learning more about Jacksonvilles architectural heritage. The Restoration Resource Expo Hall will introduce attendees to products and services that help restore, repair and green old buildings. Sundays events will provide interesting site visits to see first hand how old and green work together. Fridays speaker on downtown revitalization and the economic benefits and sustainable practices of historic preservation are not to be missed. Lastly, special events include the Jacksonville Historic Preservation Commissions Annual Preservation Awards on Thursday evening.

I love the Daily PaulSubmitted by ThisIsForFreedom on Fri, 11/23/2012 - 17:53
Hello to one and all.
Thank you, for existing.
As Dr. Paul once said - "I didn't know you were out there."
For me, it's been an 8 year journey into the rabbit hole head first. I am 25 years old, a graduate student in thesis year for an M.Arch, I do not know how I got here, but here I am.
Over the last near decade I have found a cold and lonely place. It is a place where darkness always exists, where companionship is found only by the remnants of former inquisitors. Deep inside this rabbit hole there are writings that we find marked along the cave walls. Lessons of old, while hands and minds were still able. Further into the abyss we discover more and more knowledge being shared, as those who ventured beyond previous limits were in tune with the foreseen inevitable outcome.
In last breaths, thoughts become action, emotions expressed, and wisdom unleashed. Abbreviated brilliance, is the decor of the unknown. That which what we seek cannot be seen by what is shown, but merely can only be observed by what is known.
Sadly, my friends, there comes a time where each wanderer finds a place to rest. Many a still body now lay, where a mobile body once stood. It is why I am so thankful for the Daily Paul, that these writings on the wall will not be lost to the future, but rather display the courage of the past. I have been among many groups that believed in self-education and social development.
I believe in this, I am here, I will remain.
Give thanks.

Buffalo Bills v Chicago Bears
Related Stories
Updated: November 20, 2011 9:00AM
It's too bad the Oakland Raiders didn't need a safety.
Finding a team that would pay double the value for Chris Harris was about the only scenario that would have made sense for the Bears to trade their veteran safety. Not surprisingly, there were no takers for Harris as the NFL trade deadline passed Tuesday. So the Bears are stuck with their best safety for the rest of the season.
Whether the Bears know it or not — your guess is as good as mine — they'll need Harris before the season is out. Maybe before the month is out. Maybe before the week is out the way this team goes through safeties.
This is not the end of the world at Halas Hall. The Harris saga is unlikely to ignite enough angst in the Bears' locker room to cause an implosion.
But don't kid yourself. This is more a move out of panic than the kind of accountability that makes the Patriots, Packers and Steelers world championship teams. Harris was the Bears' best safety last season,
undoubtedly an above-average player, if not Pro Bowl-caliber. And after two games this season, he's suddenly expendable? If the Bears were that adept at evaluating talent, they wouldn't be
piecing together an offensive line 11 years into Jerry Angelo's tenure as general manager. They might not even have needed Harris in the first place.
It might turn out to be the right move. Rookie Chris Conte has the potential and the speed to play for a long time in the NFL. But it's such an awkward demotion, based on a sudden drop in production — something the Bears usually struggle to identify this quickly — that it doesn't totally pass the smell test.
Asked why Harris was inactive against the Vikings, coach Lovie Smith explained that it was because Harris doesn't play special teams. Safety Brandon Meriweather didn't play special teams, either, and he was active. That kind of hole in Lovie's account makes you wonder if there's more to the story.
Caught in the undertow
Rookie Winston Venable was caught in the middle of the Bears' safety shakeup. Venable was dropped from the 53-man roster to the practice squad in favor of rookie Anthony Walters, who is more of a true safety. Venable was a linebacker/safety hybrid at Boise State and has been working with the linebackers in practice recently.
Venable is a good special-teams player and the kind of hard hitter the Bears need. It appears Walters was promoted because he is more safety-ready, and the Bears are in panic mode at that position this season.
''I just think they're making some moves, and I just happen to be a part of those moves,'' Venable said. ''Whether it was something I was doing or not doing, I don't think it was as simple as that.''
It's a tough break for Venable because he has a $20,000 fine from the NFL hanging over him for a helmet-to-helmet hit in the final preseason game. On the active roster, he was making $22,000 a week. On the practice squad, his salary drops to $5,700 a week.
Venable is appealing the fine. The new collective-bargaining agreement allows for that drop in pay to be considered as an extenuating circumstance. If the NFL doesn't buy it, that one hit will cost him nearly six weeks of pay.
Bits and pieces
A week after rushing for 163 yards against the Bears, the Lions' Jahvid Best rushed for 37 yards on 12 carries and suffered a concussion against the 49ers. . . . Former Bear Brad Maynard had a 46.2-yard net average for the Browns against the Raiders on Sunday, with four of six punts inside the 20.

Salina Republican Pete Brungardt said he's scheduled a debate by the Federal and State Affairs Committee for Tuesday.
The measure allows grocery and convenience stores to start selling full-strength beer and wine on Jan. 1. They're now allowed to sell so-called cereal malt beverage, also known as weak or low-point beer.
The bill also phases in liquor sales in grocery and convenience stores by 2015.
Many liquor store owners oppose the measure, saying it would let large retail chains run them out of business. Proponents argue it will create jobs and help struggling rural grocery stores.

3. Quit Wasting Time
In real estate, the key word is location. In the dating world, it's all about efficiency. You have to be extremely vigilant about not wasting your time when you're looking for The One. Dating efficiently means no dating or flirting with unavailable candidates (even if they're very cute). This includes married people, people who are already in committed relationships, and singles who really don't want what you want (such as children).
Romantic efficiency also means not going to a party with three friends and standing in the corner just talking to them all night. Instead, go alone – you're more likely to meet new people. If your giving online dating a chance, this includes not falling in love with an online fantasy for months; when you connect with someone online who seems promising, meet within two weeks and make sure the reality is as good as the fantasy.
Because you're busy, you have to constantly monitor that you are putting your limited time to the best possible use. That attitude will help improve your chances of finding someone truly special (and help you balance your overall life, as well).

WASHINGTON (AP) -- A federal court battle over a napkin-sized Renoir is driving two northern Virginia siblings bitterly apart.
The Washington Post (http://wapo.st/17Z3vM4) reported Thursday on the ownership dispute over a painting reported stolen from the Baltimore Museum of Art in the 1950s.
Matt Fuqua of Great Falls says the case has turned him and sister Martha into enemies. She contends she bought the tiny landscape painting at a West Virginia flea market for $7 in 2009.
The brother's girlfriend says she found the painting in 2011 in the home of the siblings' mother. The girlfriend says Martha Fuqua told her that her mother was giving her the painting for safekeeping.
Martha has since been charged with burglarizing the girlfriend's apartment. Now she's trying to evict the couple from the mother's property.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the local adaptation of existing stroke prevention tools into practice. A stroke prevention program is a collection of materials including written materials like pamphlets and brochures, videotapes and training guides for stroke survivors and for the doctors that provide care for them. Other tools that may be used in a stroke prevention program include devices that help patients monitor medical symptoms at home like home blood pressure machines or blood sugar monitors and messaging devices that allow reporting symptoms from home to a health care provider.

Implementing a Peer/Mentoring Program for Stroke Survivors
Detailed Description:
Stroke affects at least 15,000 veterans each year, and this number will likely increase as the veteran population ages. According to the AHA, the prevalence of stroke is expected to double by 2020 with the increased proportion of older adults nationwide. Our preliminary QUERI work indicates that stroke risk factors are often undermanaged in VHS.
This proposed study of a stroke risk factor management program may benefit the VHS in several ways. First, it offers VHS a systematic program for reduction in stroke risk factors leading to better health for our veterans and a reduction in inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation and home health services for these events. Second, the VSPP takes into account the varied resources and services offered in VAMCs across the nation, allowing the program to be tailored both to a given facility and to the individual veteran's needs and readiness to change. Importantly, the program could allow all VA facilities to offer guideline-concurrent stroke risk reduction programs and therefore increase compliance with VA/DoD, AHA, and JCAHO stroke care guidelines and improve their quality of stroke care.
Comparison(s): We will compare two regionally matched facilities on rates of secondary stroke prevention guideline care during the course of the study at the intervention sites.

In what was considered by many to be a relatively quiet school district election, the voters approved the $68.4 million school budget, with its 4.6 percent increase over last year's budget of $65.2 million, 1,397 to 928. The voters also elected Alan Baer and Dean Nardone, each to a three-year term as members of the board of education.
The voter turnout this year was also relatively low, 2,325 , compared with last year's turnout of 3,116. However, last year six candidates ran for three positions on the school board, thus bringing out more voters.
The results of the school board election were: Dean Nardone-1,583; John Zimmerman-844; and Alan Baer-1,508. (Candy Rossettie and Bob Persons each received two write-in votes.) Nardone and Baer will be filling the seats vacated by School Board President Candy Rossettie and Joe Mirzoeff, who both chose not to seek re-election this year.
"It was very gratifying to receive the support of the community," said Alan Baer after the results of the vote were announced. "The community once again reaffirmed its commitment to our schools and our children," added Baer, whose wife Karen and two of his three children surrounded him. "As we begin to consider the various space proposals and construction needs, I hope all residents will become involved in the process as we all have a stake in ensuring that we continue to deliver quality education to our children."
School B=board member elect Dean Nardone said, "I look forward to the challenges ahead, and there will be many. I hope that I can work with the other members of the board to get things done fairly and equitably."
When asked to comment, Superintendent of Schools Dr. Al Inserra said, "I want to thank the communiy for once again supporting our schools, and having faith and trust that we're moving in the right direction. I'm looking forward to working with our new board as we make critical decisions that are going to position this district for the next 10-15 years, both educationally and in terms of space and enrollment needs."
The new board members will be seated effective July 1.

Investing.com - Natural gas futures surged higher during U.S. afternoon trade on Wednesday, as traders turned bullish after the release of supply data.
On the New York Mercantile Exchange, natural gas futures for delivery in December traded at USD3.906 per million British thermal units during U.S. afternoon trade, soaring 1.94%.
Sparking the bullish buying, U.S. natural gas storage fell more-than-expected last month, official data showed on Wednesday.
In a report, Energy Information Administration said that U.S. Natural Gas Storage fell to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of -38B, from -18B in the preceding month.
Analysts had expected U.S. Natural Gas Storage to fall -24B last month.
The U.S. Energy Information Administration said last week that natural gas storage in the U.S. fell by 18 billion cubic feet 3.911 trillion. It was the earliest seasonal decline since 2007.
Stocks were 5.6% above the five-year average for the week. In March, after an exceptionally warm winter, stockpiles were approximately 60% above five-year levels.
Meanwhile, updated weather forecasts showed that warmer-than-normal temperatures will descend on the U.S. in the next three-to-five days, with mostly seasonally normal weather the following week.
The heating season from November through March is the peak demand period for U.S. gas consumption.
Elsewhere on the NYMEX, light sweet crude oil futures for delivery in January fell 1.2% to trade at USD88.19 a barrel, while heating oil for December delivery shed 0.4% to trade at USD3.062 per gallon.

Illinois' current law excludes these couples from the recognition and protections that come with the universally recognized relationship status of marriage, and limits them instead to civil union status. Six states and the District of Columbia now allow same-sex couples to marry.
Today's lawsuit comes one year after Illinois implemented civil unions for same-sex couples and just two weeks after President Barack Obama from Illinois endorsed the freedom to marry for same-sex couples. The couples are represented by lawyers from the American Civil Liberties Union and the ACLU of Illinois. In a separate case filed today, Lambda Legal is representing 16 same-sex couples seeking the freedom to marry. The coordinated cases signal the organizations' shared commitment to ensure that the government treats all families fairly.
The lead plaintiffs in the ACLU case are Tanya Lazaro and Elizabeth "Liz" Matos of Chicago's Northwest Side. Lazaro is a Chicago Police Department detective and Matos works as a system analyst for a trading firm in Chicago. Tanya and Liz have a two-year-old girl Jaiden and, just recently, had a second girl Sophia. The parents of two girls, they rejected getting a civil union.
"Our relationship is not about some legal benefits and protections, but about love for one another," said Lazaro. "We love each other; we are committed to one another. Anything short of marriage does not recognize that love and commitment."
"It is remarkable that Tanya risks her life each day to go out into the City of Chicago and keep people safe, but the law does not recognize fully the family that we have built together," said Matos.
A number of the plaintiffs sought a civil union after they became available in 2011 although some chose to wait for marriage. In the complaint, these couples describe how it feels to be relegated to a legal status that sends the message that the state regards their relationships as inferior. Couples also report multiple ways in which they are reminded that many people do not understand civil unions, nor do they afford civil unions the same respect as marriage.
The other plaintiffs in the case include:
• Lynn Sprout and Katherine "Kathie" Spegal, of Champaign, have grandchildren ages to 22-years-old to 6-years-old, with another on the way;
• Ross "Randy" Walden and Robert "Bob" Carey, from Springfield, have been together for seven years, meeting after Randy lost his previous partner to cancer and was denied access to his partner's hospital room and almost missed the chance to be with him at his death;
• Michelle Mascaro and Corynne Romine, of suburban Oak Park, who have been together more than 20 years and adopted three children;
• Tim Kee and Rick Wade, a couple from downstate Marion, who have spent their entire lives in the Marion area and been together as a committed couple for more than 15 years, live in the home passed on to Rick by his grandmother and attend the church where Tim was baptized;
• Carlos Briones and Richard Rykhus, of Evanston, are the fathers of seven-year-old Ty and share a passion for education, with Richard serving on the board of education for the local elementary school board;
• Suzanna "Suzie" Hutton and Danielle Cook, of Bloomington, are both educators who, when they told their colleagues about their civil unions, had to make a joke about their relationship being "civilized" to address their colleagues' discomfort with an announcement that highlighted the inadequacy of their civil union;
• Kirsten and Tanya Lyonsford of Aurora met at work 13 years ago when they played a game of "Diversity Bingo" and found that they both identified as gay/lesbian. They are parenting two young children; and
• Edwin "Ed" Hamilton and Gary Magruder, of Plainfield, who have been together as a couple for more than 48 years and are both retired educators.
"What defines a marriage is love and commitment, our hopes and dreams for a life with the person we most love in all the world," said John Knight, director of the ACLU of Illinois' LGBT Project. "Creating civil unions – a separate, novel and poorly understood status for gay and lesbian couples – does not honor the devotion of our families, nor fully protect them, but instead sends a powerful message that our families are inadequate and undeserving. It is time for Illinois to join the growing list of states that provide same-sex couples with the dignity and respect that can only come through marriage."
The ACLU and the ACLU of Illinois are assisted in the lawsuit by the Chicago office of Mayer Brown.
A copy of the complaint filed today is available here:

Returns the hour of a time value. The hour is given as an integer, ranging from 0 (12:00 A.M.) to 23 (11:00 P.M.).
Serial_number is the time that contains the hour you want to find. Times may be entered as text strings within quotation marks (for example, "6:45 PM"), as decimal numbers (for example, 0.78125, which represents 6:45 PM), or as results of other formulas or functions (for example, TIMEVALUE("6:45 PM")).
Microsoft Excel for Windows and Excel for the Macintosh use different date systems as their defaults. Time values are a portion of a date value and represented by a decimal number (for example, 12:00 PM is represented as 0.5 because it is half of a day).
The example may be easier to understand if you copy it to a blank worksheet.

Trainer Tuesday: Maison Martin Margiela metalics
Perhaps thanks to the sporty focus brought by the Olympics, 2012 looks like it's going to be the Year of the Trainer: we've seen so many exciting sports shoes in the spring/summer 12 previews that we're sure the much-maligned casual shoe will soon be back in the limelight, as the truly stylish once again pay big bugs for these most comfortable of shoes.
This futuristic-looking style from Maison Martin Margiela is no doubt a sign of things to come: it's smooth and fuss-free, yet decadent and luxurious to the core. We love the ultra glossy gold sheen on the surface of the shoes, which is made from 100% high-polished soft leather. At £410, these will set you back a little more than your average pair of dunks, but they'll certainly stand out from the rest.

Please check back next week for the results from this week and last week's mystery pictures.
My term as trustee for the Inc. Village of Bayville will expire on July 5, 2010. After eight years of service to our community, I decided not to run for re-election.
Although not a very "political" person, I have always made decisions on behalf of the entire community. I based my decisions on what was the "right" thing to do, not the "politically" correct thing to do. I encourage all who have been elected now or in the future to do the same!
Gabby Sant Angelo called to identify the June 10 mystery picture in the Enterprise Pilot. "It's Dodds & Eder. I know because I work there. I love it," she added.
If you drove down to the hamlet you saw the area of the Audrey Avenue extension blocked off on Saturday, June 12, and Sunday, June 13, to create a pedestrian plaza. It was to give the community a chance to consider what could happen in that area in the future.
Rosemary Mavros identified the June 3 picture in the Enterprise Pilot as being taken at the end of South Street, past Fiddleheads; on the left hand side going down, it's the old house. There are boats there, it is right next to Bay Marine, going down toward Commander, on the left hand side."
We really appreciated the letter to the editor from Mark Doxey. We appreciated his passion for the Muttontown Preserve and that he gave his personal remembrances of being there – showing how important it was to him growing up. It also gives an insight into the importance of the Muttontown Preserve to children today.
Isaac Luckman called to identify the mystery picture in the May 27 issue of the Enterprise Pilot. "It's Marino Field," he said. "I know because I played there all year. My team is the Sand Gnats. I play second base." Isaac is in the third grade at the Vernon School.
We just wanted to let you know that the St. Rocco Festival is coming back to Oyster Bay, and it is back in the hands of the people who originally started the feast.
The Mystery Picture in the May 20 issue of the Enterprise Pilot is still a mystery. It is located on a thoroughfare in town and we still think someone will identify it.
Last Saturday, May 22, we attended the second meeting held by Saratoga Associates on the Muttontown Preserve. Years ago, when life was slower, we used to walk in the Muttontown Preserve and remember an old dead tree that we were told was valuable in that owls like to nest in their interiors.

New England Clambake Photographs
- Login to add to Favorites

The tradition of the New England clambake existed even before New England itself was born. Clambakes reveal the nature of true New Englanders, demanding hard work, persistence, and appreciation of native seafood. The Day family of Prudence Island, located in Rhode Island's Narragansett Bay, has been clambaking for decades. Nearly 30 years ago, Yankee sought them out to document their annual clambake, and the family is still going strong, with an annual gathering of more than 150 family and friends. These images capture a portion of the vigor and passion with which the Days gather loved ones and share a delicious feast. Photos by Erik Rank.
Here are Yankee's tips for hosting your own clambake.

It's fair to say that 2008 has been Gwyneth Paltrow's year style wise (remember the shoe mania she caused with her sky-high heels at the Iron Man premieres?). So when we bumped into the actress the other night we were keen to know who her current favourite designer is. 'I'm wearing Sophia Kokosalaki a lot at the moment. She's a great designer and she's also a friend of a friend and that's how I heard about her,' Gwyneth told us. She's in good company - Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway are also fans of the Greek designer who studied at Saint Martins. So what else is rocking Gwyneth's world right now? 'I'm in love with my Fendi ankle boots.' Yep, we can see that Gwyneth since you've worn them three times in two weeks!

The pilot/owner flew the experimental amateur-built amphibious airplane with a pilot-rated passenger on a long cross-country flight to a land-based airport the day before the accident. The pilots landed the airplane uneventfully after the cross-country flight; however, while they were en route, the airplane's transponder malfunctioned. The next day, the pilots departed to have the transponder replaced at a nearby maintenance facility. The airplane lost total engine power shortly after takeoff, stalled, and descended into a supermarket located about 1 mile from the departure end of the runway, where it was consumed by a postcrash fire. The pilot-rated passenger reported that there were no problems with the airplane's takeoff roll and initial climb; however, when the pilot turned to the crosswind leg of the traffic pattern, the engine lost total power. A pilot at the departure airport reported that the accident airplane rotated about 500 feet before the end of the runway and began a shallow climb, while mostly maintaining a high pitch angle. Shortly thereafter, he observed the airplane stall and enter a descending left spin, before it disappeared behind a tree line. Postaccident examination of wreckage did not reveal any preimpact malfunctions or failures that would have precluded normal engine operation; however, the condition of the wreckage precluded the investigators from functionally checking the engine, its associated components, and fuel system. In addition, it could not be determined if debris that was found in the airplane's fuel system was present before the postcrash fire.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:

GATLINBURG, Tenn. (AP) -- The newly renovated Sugarlands Visitor Center has been rededicated in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
Park Superintendent Dale Ditmanson told The Mountain Press there's an updated sense of arrival now when visitors walk in.
Among the changes were moving the information desk to the back wall to make it a focus of attention, updating the exhibits, installing LED lights to conserve energy, putting in new flooring and painting the interior a pleasing shade of green.
The ribbon was cut Saturday by park officials and park boosters, the Great Smoky Mountains Association and the Friends of the Smokies.
Park crews worked during evening hours during the winter, so the center remained open for visitors.
About 850,000 visitors come through the center annually.

Broccoli Rabe & Garlic Pasta Recipe
"I created this because I needed a quick entrée with few ingredients. The garlic flavored oil makes the broccoli rabe less bitter, and with toasted garlic, it's a great dish." —Mary Ann Lee, Clifton Park, New York

- 1 pound broccoli rabe
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 cup chicken broth, divided
- 1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
- 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- Cook linguine according to package directions. Meanwhile, trim 1/2 in. from broccoli rabe stems; discard any coarse or damaged leaves. Rinse broccoli rabe in cold water and cut into 2-in. pieces; set aside.
- In a large skillet, saute garlic in oil for 1 minute. Add the broccoli rabe, salt, pepper, pepper flakes and 1/2 cup broth. Bring to a boil.

"Awesome! I used regular broccoli, instead of broccoli rabe. It's really spicy, but really yummy! It's a keeper :D"
Reviewed Nov. 8, 2011
"This is really good, quick and easy. A few tips: I can never find broccoli rabe. All I can ever find is broccolini. Sometimes it's called "aspiration" ? I think the two vegetables are very similar. Also, my kids and I do not care for spicy foods, so I use 1/8 tsp crushed red pepper. Another thing...I think that 3 cloves of garlic is not enough. I use 4 fairly big cloves. Add salad, and Italian bread and you have a satisfying vegetarian meal."

Monday 21 May 2012: Free
The problem with long weekends is that they're just long enough to make you think you're on holiday before sending you back to work with a thump.
My extra free day was dedicated mostly to my stones (with more attention paid to keeping my hurdies out of the sun this time), but we made some room in the middle for a lovely large lunch in the shadow of the mill.

Have You Been Tested? Know Your Status
Charlotte, NC –
The Mecklenburg County Health Department, in partnership with Grier Heights Barbershop, is offering free, curbside HIV tests, Friday, June 27, as part of National HIV Testing Day.
This year marks the 32nd anniversary of the HIV epidemic, the virus that causes AIDS. HIV is most commonly spread through unprotected sex, sharing of needles with an HIV-infected person, or transmission from an infected mother to her baby.
In 2012, there were 318 new HIV disease cases reported in Mecklenburg County. According to the most recent data, nearly 5,000 people are living with HIV/AIDS County-wide. While these numbers show a decline of HIV cases they do not include those people who are HIV positive and unaware of their status.
Many strides have been made in the fight against HIV, particularly in the area of medical treatment. People can live for years with HIV infection especially with the proper medication and care. However, it's important for people to know their HIV status, be diagnosed early, and get linked to physician care to help ensure the best health outcomes.
"It is estimated that one in five people infected with HIV in the United States don't know it," says Dr. Marcus Plescia, Mecklenburg County Health Department director. "Therefore, it is now recommended that everyone ages 13 to 64 be tested at least once as part of their routine health care."
On Friday, June 27,10 a.m. – 2 p.m., free HIV testing will be available at Grier Heights Barbershop,
3239 Sam Drenan Road Charlotte,
. In addition, the County offers walk-in testing five days a week at the Southeast Campus, 249 Billingsley Road, Charlotte and Northwest Campus, 2845 Beatties Ford Road, Charlotte and at community based sites at non-traditional times and locations.
You can find more information about HIV in Mecklenburg County and testing sites
or by calling 704-432-TEST (8378).

Hello everybody,
We should all have a regular physical exercise regime, even if it is only half an hour each day for an energetic walk. The benefits of frequent exercise are enormous, these are ten real advantages that can be derived from physical activity.
1. Increasing your metabolic rate.
This is particularly helpful to people who want to lose weight. Your metabolic rate is the one at which your body burn off calories and therefore fat when it is at rest. Regular exercise increases your metabolic rate and it helps to increase weight loss.
2. Improves cardiovascular health.
Cardiovascular exercise, or cardio as it is often referred to, is the exercise that works the heart and lungs. Regular exercise includes such things as: swimming and cycling. These exercises can also be described as aerobic. They exercise the heart and lungs making them much stronger and healthier organs.
3. Stronger bones.
Regular weight bearing aerobic exercises such as: walking, jogging, aerobics classes, and dancing. All help to strengthen your bones.
4. Healthier skin.
Because cardiovascular exercise raises your heartbeat and gets your lungs working harder, this improves your circulation. Which in turn leads to an improved supply of essential nutrients to your skin, helping to detox your body and promoting healthy skin.
5. Reduces stress.
The stress is caused by the presence of certain hormones in the bloodstream. Regular physical exercise helps to remove these hormones consequently reducing the levels of stress.
If someone knows more benefits of regular exercise, then you can share your views.
