5/21/1996 - Breast Cancer Gene Patent Evokes Controversy
A coalition of women's groups and cancer advocacy groups are opposing a move by Myriad Genetics to patent the breast cancer gene known as BRCA1. The coalition argues that creating a patent would mean Myriad would control and possibly impede research on the gene. Other cancer advocacy groups have supported the patent application, citing Myriad's financial investment in the research and the likelihood that investors will not contribute to gene therapy research unless the gene has patent protection. The coalition opposing the patent, organized by biotechnology opponent Jeremy Rifkin, claims that the government will continue to pay for the gene research. Rifkin's coalition maintains a gene is not an invention to be patented, although many genes already have patents.
BRCA1 was discovered in 1994 to be linked with breast cancer. Myriad has plans to offer a BRCA1 screening test later this year, which would cost about $900.
5/21/1996 - Expanded Domestic Partner Benefits Proposed in San Francisco
San Francisco Supervisor Tom Ammiano has proposed legislation to force contractors doing business with the city to provide the same benefits to domestic partners of employees as it does to married spouses. Ammiano planned to introduce the ordinance on Monday (5-20) at the City's board meeting; after that, the ordinance will go through public hearings and onto the city attorney's office. Ammiano's ordinance would include extending health care insurance, retirement packages, child care, disability benefits, and family and bereavement leave to domestic partners of employees of city contractors. In 1992, San Francisco adopted a law allowing same-sex partners to register as domestic partners, extending benefits to partners of city workers.
5/20/1996 - Clinton Endorses Wisconsin Plan to End Welfare
On Saturday (5-18), President Clinton endorsed a Wisconsin plan to end welfare. Criticized by child-welfare and women's rights advocates, the plan would eliminate Aid to Families with Dependent Children and would replace the Federal guarantee of cash assistance for poor children with wage subsidies for single mothers who work. Every adult recipient would be required to work, a factor that worries critics concerned about the children of parents who fail to participate in the work program. Devised primarily by Republican Gov. Tommy Thompson, the Wisconsin plan cuts off assistance after five years without guaranteeing that families would receive any forms of aid thereafter. Opponents of the plan also point out that it relies upon a strong economy in the state, which might not last.
5/20/1996 - New Gel May Prevent HIV Infection in Women
A study financed by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases has found that a virus-stopping gel applied to the vaginas of monkeys appears to stop transmission of SIV, the monkey version of the AIDS virus. Researchers hope the gel will be effective in humans, suggesting that women could apply the gel before intercourse to protect them from the AIDS virus. Research from the study suggests that the substance, PMPA, might be twice as effective as HIV-killing nonoxynol-9, but it is not clear whether or not PMPA will also cause irritation. The action of PMPA is similar to that of AZT, the first drug to combat symptoms of AIDS, but PMPA may be more potent and 100 times less toxic. The researchers consider the findings "very promising."
5/20/1996 - Clinton Signs Sex Offender Notification Bill
On Friday (5-17), President Clinton signed Megan's Law, legislation that will require police to inform communities when convicted sex offenders move into the neighborhood. The law is named for a 7-year-old girl from New Jersey who was raped and murdered by a male neighbor who had a history of convictions for child molestation of which the girl's parents were unaware. The 1994 crime bill had permitted but did not required the notification.
5/17/1996 - Pension Law Revisions Urged to Aid Women
Changes in pension laws are being proposed in the Senate to make the laws more equitable and less harsh on working women and elderly women. Introducing a proposal at a news conference Tuesday (5-14), Sen. Carol Mosley-Braun (D-Ill.) stated that current laws are out-of-date and do not protect the pension rights of divorced women and widows. Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D-Md.) pointed out that women often put work on hold and change jobs in order to raise children or take care of elderly parents, making it difficult to build up pension rights. According the Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.), the gap in pensions is an "institutionalized" form of discrimination like pay inequities in general.
Mosley-Braun anticipates her proposals will become part of broader pension legislation currently being drafted after an outline given by President Clinton last month. A recent report issued by the Women's Research and Education Institute found that only one of every five women retiring in 1992 got a pension compared to 47 percent of men retiring that year.
5/17/1996 - UC Provost Admits VIPs Influence Admissions
University of California Provost C. Judson King has admitted that in the last five years, prominent individuals made over 1,000 special requests on behalf of undergraduate applicants' admission. King maintains that about 60 of those applications received some positive consideration. King also acknowledged that although the UC system discourages letters of recommendation, letters that are sent do indeed get taken into account; in some cases, letters from VIPs make a crucial difference.
Earlier in the week, the Los Angeles Times reported that UC President Richard Atkinson and the official he assigned to investigate such admissions favors have themselves handled requests from VIPs in recent years. In 19 of the most recent undergraduate cases documented in thank-you notes to Atkinson and computer print-outs, almost half of the students were admitted after inquiries by VIPs.
5/17/1996 - Hormone Regimen May Reduce Risk of Breast Cancer
According to University of Southern California Scientist Malcolm Pike, a regimen of vigorous exercise to delay puberty and hormone treatments to induce artificial menopause can reduce the risk of breast cancer by as much as 95 percent. The regimen would reduce the amount of estrogen exposed to a woman's breast tissue by shortening her reproductive life. Pike cited better nutrition, earlier menstruation, and pregnancy occurring later in life as reasons why breast cancer rates have increased in recent decades in industrialized societies. Pike said delayed menarche and early menopause significantly decrease women's rates of breast cancer, noting that women whose ovaries are removed by age 30 reduce their risk of breast cancer by 85 percent. Pike and other researchers have developed a combination of drugs to create an artificial menopause.
5/17/1996 - Women Forced Into Prostitution in Japan Protest Private Fund
On Thursday, a group of 89 Filipino women who were forced into sexual slavery for Japanese troops during World War II rejected all compensation from the privately funded "Asian Women's Fund." About 50 of the women, dressed in black, demonstrated Thursday (5-16) outside the Japanese Embassy to protest the Japanese government's refusal to directly compensate the women and to take responsibility for wartime atrocities against 200,000 women.
Earlier this week a prominent member of the Asian Women's Fund, Mutsuko Miki, resigned because of Japan's refusal to directly compensate and apologize to the women
5/16/1996 - Implementation, Funding of Violence Against Women Act Urged
On Wednesday (5-15), a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing met on the implementation of the Violence Against Women Act, part of the 1994 crime law. Asking that the Act be fully funded, chief sponsor of the legislation Sen. Joseph Biden (D-Del.) testified that he had not been able to persuade lawmakers to restore $1.3 million requested for the training of state and federal judicial personnel for this year. Others testifying included Attorney General Janet Reno who said that domestic violence must be curbed to control violent crime in general, and Denise Brown, sister of Nicole Brown Simpson, who argued that judges "need to be educated on the complex dynamics involved in domestic violence."
The first woman to sue in federal court under the Act, named as Jane Doe, has filed a lawsuit against her millionaire husband for spousal abuse and gender-motivated violence. Doe alleges her husband, whom she is in the process of divorcing, treated her like a slave and made her take care of his mistress' poodle.
5/16/1996 - Nebraska Bishop Excommunicates Pro-Choice Catholics
Wednesday (5-15) was Bishop Fabian Bruskewitz' deadline for Catholics in his diocese to quit 12 groups or face excommunication. The list of the groups Bruskewitz deemed unacceptable includes Planned Parenthood, Catholics for a Free Choice, and Call to Action, a group advocating discussion of the ordination of women and married men. Excommunicated Catholics may attend Mass but are not allowed to get married in the church or receive sacraments. Some members of the Lincoln, Nebraska diocese plan to ignore the order.
5/16/1996 - Advocates for Gay and Lesbian Rights Criticize Republican Attack on Same-Sex Marriage
In a House Judiciary subcommittee hearing on legislation to allow states to refuse to recognize same-sex marriages performed in other states, gay and lesbian rights activists said the measure was divisive and politically motivated. Along with other Democratic colleagues, Rep. Melvin Watt (D-NC) accused supporters of the bill, which would define marriage as the "legal union between one man and one woman," guilty of "fanning the flames of intolerance and seeking to divide people against each other." Rep. Pat Schroeder (D-Colo.) asked her colleagues supporting the bill what part of "all" in "liberty and justice for all" they did not understand.
5/16/1996 - New Breast Cancer Drug Gets FDA Approval
On Wednesday, the Food and Drug Administration approved the new drug Taxotere to treat breast cancer patients who do not respond to standard treatment, including chemotherapy. Given intravenously every three weeks, Taxotere has demonstrated in trials that it can shrink tumors. Like Taxol, an drug approved in 1994 to treat breast cancer, Taxotere can cause serious side effects. Taxotere, in the same family as Taxol, can cause additional loss of white blood cells and can affect liver function
5/15/1996 - Sailor Discharged After Sexually Harassing Women
Chief Petty Officer George Powell has been discharged from the Navy. Powell had been convicted of groping two women sailors - one aboard a commercial airplane in October - was penalized in rank and pay, and was sentenced to 89 days in confinement. Powell, 49, will not receive retirement benefits, but he is eligible to apply for Veterans Administration medical benefits.
5/15/1996 - U.S. Olympic Women's Basketball Team Gains Prominence
The National Basketball Association will be publicizing the U.S. women's basketball team, the first women's national team recruited by USA Basketball a full year before the Olympics. NBA Properties markets the team, negotiating deals between it and corporate sponsors, licensees and television partners. It also creates advertising campaigns and helps plan exhibition games for the team.
Although the $50,000 salary each woman receives from USA Basketball hardly compares to what her male counterparts make, women's basketball is getting increasing coverage on networks, and corporate sponsors pay several hundred thousand dollars for advertising time during the games. Several of the women team members also have their own athletic shoe endorsements. Next summer, the NBA plans to launch a women's league to be located in several NBA cities.
5/15/1996 - Mammogram Accuracy May Decrease With Estrogen Therapy
Postmenopausal women taking estrogen therapy may find reduced accuracy in their mammogram screenings for breast cancer. According to Dr. Mary Laya, a University of Washington assistant professor of medicine, estrogen replacement therapy often increases breast tissue density which increases the overall difficulty in reading mammograms. It may also lead a physician to mistakenly diagnose benign but dense breast tissue as cancer, or to miss a small tumor.
One quarter to one third off all postmenopausal women in the U.S. take estrogen replacement drugs to reduce symptoms of menopause or to prevent diseases such as osteoporosis and heart disease. Laya says women having estrogen replacement therapy should be told there may be more false alarms, and that women with a family history of breast cancer need to weigh the risks of the disease against the many benefits of estrogen therapy. In Laya's study, the number of undetected cancers in women taking estrogen was very small.
5/15/1996 - Gingrich's Sister Criticizes Speaker's Attack on Gays and Lesbians
Candice Gingrich urged her brother Speaker Newt Gingrich to "stop this Congressional gay-bashing" on the eve of a House hearing on an anti-same-sex marriage bill. Candace, an out lesbian said, "The raising of this issue now, at the national level, is nothing more than election-year scapegoating of one group of Americans." While the bill would not outlaw same-sex marriage in any state, it would define marriage federally as the "legal union between one man and one woman" and would allow states to disregard same-sex marriages performed in other states. The bill attempts to head off effects of an expected court decision in Hawaii that would legalize same-sex marriages in the state.
5/14/1996 - Poll Shows Strong Support for Minimum Wage Increase
Efforts to raise the minimum wage are favorable to 81 percent of people polled by USA Today/CNN/Gallup. Democrats are leading the fight to raise the minimum wage. The Republican proposal to repeal the gas tax is favored by 56 percent. Of the 3.66 million workers earning the minimum wage of $4.25/hour, 63 percent are women.
5/14/1996 - North Carolina Legislator Censured for Harassing Women
North Carolina state representative Ken Miller was publicly censured by the state House of Representatives Monday (5-13) for sexually harassing women. A House Ethics Committee found that Miller had made unwanted advances and inappropriate sexual remarks to three women, including a 16-year-old volunteer page. The committee recommended the public censure after an expulsions proposal failed. The first order of business at the beginning of the 1996 session, the censure was the first public humiliation in the state House since the 1880s. Miller's vote aside, the House voted unanimously to censure. After the listening to the resolution condemning his behavior, Miller left the chamber and proceeded to a legislative clerk's office where he introduced proposed legislation to eliminate welfare programs.
5/14/1996 - UC System Allows Out-of-State Alumni Legacies to Apply as Residents
The San Francisco Chronicle reported Monday (5-13) that the University of California allows children of alumni to apply as residents of California, giving them an admissions advantage. California residents can typically be admitted to the UC system with lower grades and test scores than applicants from other states. The "legacy" admissions policy considers children of alumni "bona fide residents."
The findings contradict UC's persistent claim that it does not offer preferences to "legacies," especially since the Board of Regents' July 20 decision to outlaw affirmative action programs for women and people of color. UC officials plan to issue a report on the topic of preference toward well-connected children of VIPs later this week.
5/14/1996 - Court Allows Men to Appeal Pay Raises Given to Women
The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has decided to reinstate a lawsuit brought by male professors at Virginia Commonwealth University who objected to giving women faculty members pay raises to eliminate disparities in salary. A pay equity study had shown women making far less money than their male counterparts of similar rank and experience. Off the 770 tenured or tenure-track professors in the study, 187 were women. Male full professors made an average of $66,740, while women of the same rank earned an average of $58, 990. After the release of the study, the university spent $440,000 to increase the salaries of women. The men's objections to the pay raises will now be heard by a jury.
5/14/1996 - Frank Criticizes Republican Assault on Same-Sex Marriage Issue
Representative Barney Frank (D-Mass.) has called Sen. Dole's anti-same-sex marriage bill a "sleazy" attempt to divide President Clinton and his supporters. While Clinton has said he does not favor same-sex marriages, he has not taken a position on Dole "Defense of Marriage Act" which would define marriage as a union between a man and a woman, and would allow states to discount same-sex marriages performed in other states. Frank calls the move against same-sex marriages "another Willie Horton," citing the negative ads used against 1988 Democratic presidential candidate Michael Dukakis to depict the former Massachusetts Gov. as soft on crime.
5/14/1996 - Mitsubishi Hires Former Labor Secretary to Lead Harassment Investigation
Officials at Mitsubishi Motor Corporation announced Tuesday (5-14) that they have hired former Labor Secretary Lynn Martin to investigate claims of sexual harassment at the company's Normal, Ill. plant. The former Republican Congresswoman will investigate the claims filed by the Equal Employment Opportunities Commission in what could be the largest sexual harassment case in U.S. history.
5/13/1996 - Muslim Women Discuss Equal Rights
Two hundred people from 20 nations attended "Beijing and Beyond," a weekend conference called to discuss rights denied to Muslim women and to urge Muslim communities to pursue the goals for the U.N. Fourth World Conference on Women held last September in Beijing, China. The Sisterhood is Global Institute sponsored the conference and issued a background dispelling the notion that male domination of Muslim societies is mandated by the Koran. Asma Khader, president of the Jordanian Women's Union said, "We show that violence against women is against the law, and try to show that our religion does not give this right to men." Commenting that problems confronting Muslim women are shared by non-Muslim women, Yasmeen Murshed of the Bengali Center for Analysis and Choice said, "What confronts us are issues of basic human rights."
5/13/1996 - NOW Protests Mitsubishi
National Organization for Women chapters across the country picketed Mitsubishi auto dealerships this weekend to protest the company's handling of charges of pervasive sexual harassment at its Normal, Ill. plant. Carrying signs that read, "Solutions, not retaliation" and "Mitsubishi, women are watching," the protesters expressed their outrage over Mitsubishi's denial of the claims made by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission on the behalf of over 300 women as well as the company's threats to its employees that they could lose their jobs as a result of the allegations and decreased sales.
Mitsubishi has until mid-June to respond to the EEOC lawsuit, but has indicated it is searching for a new law firm to represent the company. After a Friday meeting with EEOC lawyers following a month-long absence of official contact, Chicago EEOC director John Rowe said, "Our essential understanding is that the next contact will be a court filing by Mitsubishi."

Chicago, Illinoi...
My daughter spied this pattern at Joanne fabrics when they had the Butterick patterns on sale, so I bought it for her and set to work. This is a Bolero jacket made from Butterick pattern B5232 (Making History). It's a Victorian styled bolero with long sleeves and trim (vew C on the pattern).Pattern instructions were good and I made a muslin of the jacket first which was a good thing, as I needed to lengthen the sleeves and shorten the shoulders slightly for my daughter. I also bound the sleeve caps and added shoulder pads to give the shoulders a little more structure.
My daughter is ver happy with her steampunk style bolero.:-)
I used a chocolate brown wool crepe with a lighter brown lining from my stash, and dark brown rickrack trim bought from Joanne's Fabrics.

Many of the plants that project the tropical look aren't winter hardy below 15 to 20 degrees (USDA Zone 8). But many of these plants make excellent houseplants and can be overwintered in the home, spending summers in your garden.
By Susan HamiltonMore in Outdoors
Elephant's Ear
Elephant's ear is a tuber-based plant with a very tropical look. It grows to six feet tall (and some varieties top eight feet or more), adding a dramatic look to the garden with massive leaves up to two feet wide and three feet long.

In the Season Three premiere, a wave of urban reform brings down the notorious Franklin Terrace public housing towers, forcing the Barksdale drug crew to find a new home. Stringer Bell sets up shop using a new sales strategy as he awaits the return of Avon. McNulty, Greggs and the Detail look to make a case against Stringer with a wiretap on a drug ring run by his ally, Proposition Joe. Assigned to the Western District drug unit, Carver and Herc notch up the pressure on dealers. Burrell is caught in a power play by Councilman Tommy Carcetti. Mayor Clarence Royce, facing re-election next year, puts Burrell on notice that crime stats must come down. The order from on high has put police commanders in the hot seat during the new Comstat meetings. Daniels, too, is confronted by the reach of City Hall, as his promotion to major may be derailed. A rash of murders cuts short Bunk's day at the ballpark. On the eve of his parole, Cutty Wise is offered a new start on the outside by Avon.
Runtime: 60 minutes Rating: Original Air Date: 6/23/2002
In the Season Three finale, a reticent Avon readies his troops for a seemingly endless war against Marlo. Meanwhile, as the detail works towards the top rungs of the Barksdale organization, McNulty reassesses his pursuit of Stringer Bell.
Runtime: 60 minutes Rating: Original Air Date: 6/8/2003
Herc's soft-duty job with the mayor takes an unexpectedly hard turn. Despite the potential damage to her career, Pearlman provides Freamon and Sydnor with subpoena ammunition for their 'grizzly bear' hunt in City Hall. Carcetti concentrates on games he can win; Namond gets some grooming advice from his father, Wee-Bey; Marlo plays Robin Hood with the neighborhood kids, though Michael isn't taking; Bubbles brings an apprentice into his mobile-emporium business; Cutty juggles his landscaping job with a volunteer gig as a boxing mentor, eyeing Michael as a pupil; Prez braces for his first day as a schoolteacher. At the televised mayoral debate, Carcetti drops a bombshell on the mayor.

Herc (Dominick Lombardozzi) and Carver (Seth Gilliam) try to convince the local corner boys to relocate, as per Colvin's (Robert Wisdom) orders. "Vincent Street is your Amsterdam in Baltimore," Herc tells them, but they're not interested, so Colvin has them rounded up and brought to a local school gym so that he can tell them about his plan. They're unresponsive. Kima (Sonja Sohn) and McNulty (Dominic West) continue to disobey Daniels' (Lance Reddick) orders, hiring Bubbles (Andre Royo) to look around and tell them what happened to Avon's (Wood Harris) people after the towers came down. Bubs tells them about the strangely cooperative mood on the street, and about how the dealers are all using disposable cell phones, called "burners," these days. McNulty also tracks Stringer (Idris Elba) on his own, and learns that Stringer is cleaning up his act, at least on the surface, through his real estate dealings. Lester (Clarke Peters) attacks McNulty for disrespecting Daniels. "This may not be perfect," he tells McNulty, "but it's a chance to be police." Carcetti (Aidan Gillen) is considering a run for mayor. He meets with an old acquaintance, Terri D'Agostino (Brandy Burre), who is now a successful political consultant. "You're the wrong color," she tells Carcetti. "You're not electable." Carcetti is not deterred. Cutty (Chad L. Coleman), increasingly frustrated with straight life, pays a visit to Slim Charles (Anwan Glover) looking for work. McNulty pays a late night drunken visit to Rhonda (Deirdre Lovejoy) and finds that she's otherwise engaged. Stringer finally looks in on Donette (Shamyl Brown), who tells him about McNulty's stated suspicion that D'Angelo was murdered.

Bubbles (Andre Royo) has been working as a CI, and Johnny (Leo Fitzpatrick) is not happy about it. He convinces Bubbles to pull a small-time scam. McNulty (Dominic West) get fed up watching Stringer (Idris Elba) and decides to confront the man directly. Stringer tries to sell him a condo, leading McNulty to lament, "You disappointed me, String. I had such f***ing high hopes for us." Later, Kima (Sonja Sohn), watching Marlo (Jamie Hector), makes a discovery that will bring joy to McNulty. Colvin (Robert Wisdom), having failed to get the corner boys to move of their own volition, decides to go over their heads, and eventually has to go to Daniels' (Lance Reddick) unit to find out who the drug lieutenants are in his district. Colvin explains to them that police will only be in the designated locations to prevent violence, and will not arrest them for dealing. He also threatens to crush those who choose to stay on the corners. The cops even end up rounding up customers for the dealers, but Marlo, for one, refuses to play along. Just before Avon (Wood Harris) is released on parole, Baltimore's drug kingpins meet and agree to Stringer's plan to team up to get a better deal from his New York suppliers. Bunk (Wendell Pierce) is developing leads on the double homicide involving Omar (Michael K. Williams), but his superiors again force him to focus on tracking down the missing police weapon. Carcetti (Aidan Gillen) learns about a state's witness who was murdered, and quietly makes his displeasure known to Royce (Glynn Turman), who promises swift action to prevent further such incidents. McNulty meets D'Agostino (Brandy Burre) at an event for his son's school, and the two hit it off, after a fashion.
Runtime: 60 minutes Rating: Original Air Date: 10/17/2004
Stringer's (Idris Elba) "legitimate" real estate associates are soaking him for bribe after bribe. Colvin's (Robert Wisdom) "provisional legalization" program, which the hoppers call "Hamsterdam," seems to be working. Colvin orders his troops to spare no effort in deterring dealers from staying on their corners, and they go wild with it. Avon (Wood Harris), fresh out of jail, is upset to hear about his crew's run-ins with Marlo (Jamie Hector). He wants to take a run at him, but Stringer wants to keep trying to talk to Marlo. Stringer wants to worry about the wholesale business of supply and money laundering, not the petty retail squabbles of who runs what corners. Kima (Sonja Sohn) and McNulty (Dominic West) tell Daniels (Lance Reddick) about Stringer's meeting with Marlo, but he's tells them, "This unit is about the bodies," and the Western District has been quiet. Avon has Cutty (Chad L. Coleman) and Slim Charles (Anwan Glover) take a run at Marlo. But Barksdale's crew doesn't have the muscle it once did. Bubbles (Andre Royo) tells Kima about the bodies dropping, but Daniels gets fed up with McNulty and Kima usurping his authority, and refuses to reassign the unit, so Kima suggests that McNulty go around him. Carcetti (Aidan Gillen) and D'Agostino (Brandy Burre) think if there's a black candidate running against Royce (Glynn Turman) in the primary to split the black vote, and Carcetti can get the support of someone like Odell Watkins (Frederick Strother), he might have a chance. Bunk (Wendell Pierce) gets permission to work his murder case, and arranges a face-to-face meeting with Omar (Michael K. Williams), taking the opportunity to lecture the man about his effect on the community. Donette (Shamyl Brown) talks to Brianna (Michael Hyatt) about her relationship with Stringer, and about McNulty's visit.
Runtime: 60 minutes Rating: Original Air Date: 10/31/2004
Daniels (Lance Reddick) gives the unit their new targets, Stringer (Idris Elba) and Marlo (Jamie Hector). He's furious when McNulty (Dominic West) confirms that he went to Colvin (Robert Wisdom). "When the cuffs go on Stringer," Daniels tells McNulty, "you need to find a new home." Because crime is going down everywhere in his district except near the designated drug zones, Colvin is able to redeploy his forces to focus on the high crime areas. In "Hamsterdam," Carver (Seth Gilliam) realizes that since the dealers no longer need lookouts or runners, the little kids that worked for them have been cut loose. He institutes a "tax" on the dealers to take care of them. Cutty (Chad L. Coleman) is back to doing yard work, and seeks further help in dealing with his new life. Omar (Michael K. Williams), genuinely dismayed by his talk with Bunk (Wendell Pierce), decides to do the cop a huge favor.

Russia's Anti-LGBT Agenda
In the year since Russia enacted harsh anti-LGBT laws banning "propaganda of non-traditional sexual relations" and blocking same-sex couples from adopting children, there has been an uptick in violent attacks and other persecution against LGBT people.
Read HRC's report on the severe impact that anti-LGBT laws continue to have on the Russian LGBT community and its allies.

As the nation's largest lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) civil rights organization, the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) joins the Russian LGBT community and others across the globe in the fight to expose and repeal Russia's "anti-propaganda" law.
Since the law passed, HRC has called on:
- The International Olympic Committee (IOC) not to accept verbal promises from Putin, through calls to action by both HRC President Chad Griffin and HRC members and supporters
- Film studios to advocate for repeal of the law
- NBCUniversal to use its exclusive coverage of the 2014 Sochi Olympic Games to expose the law
- Donald Trump to move the 2013 Miss Universe pageant out of Russia
- IOC corporate sponsors to condemn Russia's anti-LGBT law and to advocate for equality worldwide.

Volunteers enjoy giving back
Gloria Nolan sent a text message on a recent Saturday morning canceling an interview appointment. A friend's wife had died and she wanted to spend time with him instead.
What started as one of Nolan's volunteer assignments for Hospice of Virginia had grown into a friendship.
Nolan's primary duties as a hospice volunteer include making regular visits and helping relieve caregivers so that they can run errands or take a needed break. She has volunteered for about four years for the hospice.
"Some patients request that I read Scriptures, or just sit quietly and keep them company," Nolan said. "Others enjoy having someone listen to them tell life stories or help with needlework. At times, I may simply keep the caregiver company while the patient rests. While not required by [Hospice of Virginia], I enjoy remembering special
days like birthdays and anniversaries."
Nolan, a western Henrico resident, joins millions of Americans who volunteer each year. She was part of an upward trend in volunteerism among African-Americans last year despite the down economy, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
"I volunteer because I am a compassionate person by nature. Because I … have been so well blessed in my life," she said. "I believe that being Christ's disciple requires that I give back by serving others."
Women age 35 to 54 volunteer more than any other group. However, plenty of younger men, women and a few children volunteered this month at the Chimborazo Family Mobile Food Pantry.
Trey Harrison, a Varina High School senior, stood in Richmond's Chimborazo Elementary School parking lot between a large food pantry truck and a folding table as he packed items into brown paper bags. Harrison said his mother encouraged him to volunteer.
"I figured that it helps people and it gives me community service hours [to include on my college applications]. So it helps me out more," Harrison said.
On the other side of the truck, Angelina Patrick, an eastern Henrico resident and Virginia Commonwealth University student, added bunches of bananas to bags. She then moved the bags to a nearby table for families to pick up later.
Patrick said she got involved with the food project through HandsOn Greater Richmond, a local group that connects people with organizations who need volunteers. Patrick said a school friend told her about the group and how easy it was to go online to sign up to volunteer.
The mobile pantry is organized by Richmond's Communities in Schools (CIS) with funding from Feed More Impact 100. The pantry has provided food to hundreds of children and their families since starting in September 2011.
The pantry is held the same night as the school's PTA meeting. While parents and teachers are meeting, volunteers sort and pack produce, dry goods, and sometimes fresh meat, according to Caitlin Roberts, CIS site coordinator. After the PTA meeting, families pick up their groceries and head home.
The pantry and dozens of other community groups rely on HandsOn to help link them with needed volunteers. Opportunities are listed on the HandsOn website with new ones added as the need arises.
Others like Nolan find their own volunteer opportunities. However the connection is made, Nolan said volunteering is all about focusing on other people and their needs.
"The volunteer experience is always about the other person not one's self. Putting self aside and cheerfully serving others is the only way to have a rewarding volunteer experience," she said.

Disney's 'Big Hero 6,' lovable robot Baymax delight
It may be time for Olaf to step down as our nation's reigning cartoon character. Big Hero 6, the latest animated feature from Disney, contains a challenger to the throne: Baymax (Scott Adsit), another lovably chubby white wonder, who will bring joy to children's hearts and invade every home in America inside a six-foot pile of Disney merchandise.
Big Hero 6 (based ever so slightly on a Marvel comic of the same name) is the story of Baymax – and also his closest companion Hiro Hamada (Ryan Potter). And then also their four friends, all of whom join together to form the titular superhero team.
At first, though, it's only Hiro, a young boy and an engineering prodigy, who'd rather spend his time in underground robot fight clubs than do something productive with his gifts. > Read more.
Authentically Italian
Bella's feels – and tastes – like Italy should
Short Pump is known for its share of chain restaurants and strip malls, but diners looking for something more distinct can certainly find it without heading downtown or to nearby Charlottesville.
In fact, local husband-and-wife restaurateurs Valeria Bisenti and Doug Muir brought a taste of Charlottesville (and Italy) to Short Pump when they took a chance and opened Bella's second location in the same shopping strip as Wal-Mart and Peter Chang China Cafe. (Bella's original location is on Main Street in downtown Charlottesville.)
For a local Italian restaurant, Bella's is as "Mom and Pop" as its gets. Valeria is Mom, and Doug is Pop. Since its opening about six months ago, diners have been eating rich comfort foods and drinking Italian wines. > Read more.

`Body in the Bags' killer may be released earlier.
Malcolm Green was given a life sentence in 1991 for what became known as the Body in the Bags killing - just two years after he had been released from another life term for the murder of a Cardiff prostitute.
The recommendation was that the double killer, from Ely, Cardiff, should serve a minimum of 25 years for the murder of New Zealander Clive Tully - whose torso, head and limbs were found in bags - but was given a whole life tariff by the then Home Secre t ar y.
But now his case is among those which may have to be reviewed following a historic ruling by the Law Lords that Home Secretaries can no longer change sentences.
Cases in which trial judges have recommended minimum terms, but the Home Secretary has decided ``life means life'', include some of the most infamous criminals alive in Britain today.
If their sentences are subsequently set at what the original trial judge recommended, they could be freed sooner than anyone thought.
Green's victim in the Body in the Bags case was identified after a newspaper graphic artist produced a computer-enhanced photograph of the victim.
The murder hunt was launched after the grisly discovery of a torso in Rogerstone, followed a few days later by a head and limbs in St Brides, Wentloog.
After Green was tracked down, it emerged he had only recently been released from jail for a similarly gruesome murder 20 years previously, when the victim had also been cut up. He was given a life sentence for the first murder in 1971.
It later emerged Green's bloodlust and obsession with mutilation may have been sparked by seeing his younger brother decapitated by a train when he was just 12.

This foot-themed site hasn't updated in a long time and its content isn't exclusive, but you might want to check it out all the same.

The models on this website are adorable and they've all got some really sexy feet. The chicks love to show them off, but that's not all they let you see. The babes also strip out of most of their clothes, so you get some really good looks at their hot bodies. Almost all of the cuties strip until they aren't wearing anything but their little panties.
Kelly loves to foot-fuck her man and he's more than happy to thank her by spraying his cum all over her feet in return. Watch this amateur housewife make all her foot-fetish fantasies come true in countless pics and vids of her pleasing herself and her husband with hot foot action. Sure, video quality could be better but the site is still worth checking out.
This European model shows off her fabulous feet while dressed in a variety of sexy outfits. Minus the rare bikini, Jenny wears street-appropriate clothes. The focus is on athletic shoes, high heels, open-toed sandals, stocking feet, socks and barefoot posing. You'll see high-res pics and mostly good-quality vids, but overall, her website just doesn't cut it.
This is one website that's definitely designed for people who can't get enough of sexy feet. Its videos and pictures feature women giving footjobs, ladies trampling men, dudes sucking on toes, dangling, feet encased in nylon, beautiful babes wearing high heels and a whole lot more as well. There's really a little something for every kind of foot porn lover.
Italian cuties in stockings sit around and show off their feet in and out of their shoes. And wouldn't you know it, they look to have almost all painted their toes with red nail polish. They rub their feet on their legs, they flex their toes and they sometimes even let their pretty shoes dangle off the ends of their sexy feet while they read a good book.
These babes love socks and shoes, especially if they're dirty or smelly! Hot chicks and studs take off each other's shoes and socks and smell their stinky aromas. Some even bite or lick the footwear and they look really tasty while doing it. While mostly softcore, there is a section filled with more hardcore play, like footjobs.
The college chicks on this website are dirty babes who wear dirty socks. They tend to keep their filthy socks on while they use their feet to stroke hard cocks. They don't just give footjobs, though. You can also catch some of these cuties sniffing shoes, masturbating, giving blowjobs and getting fucked good and hard.
This babe might have a cute face and nice body, but its her flawless soles that steal the show. Watch her show off her feet while wearing sexy heels and sandals, or sometimes nothing at all. She just sits back on her bed and allows her audience to be captivated by her magnificent foot structure. Anyone who loves a nice pair of feet will be right at home.
Does the sight of pretty feet excite you? Then you will like what these hot models have to offer. They stay fully clothed, but they go to all sorts of locations and model their tender tootsies. Watch them remove their shoes and give you good closeups. Every babe has a different vibe and you'll love seeing all the different kinds of arches and soles here.
This babe has a cute face and a nice body. But the main focus here is on her beautiful feet and the way she wraps them around her man's big cock until it squirts cum all over the place! It's hard to imagine that a pair of sexy soles that look so delicate and soft could be the cause for violent bursts of cum. Anyone with a footjob fetish will love this site.
Feet are truly beautiful, especially when they're attached to the long, slender legs of an 18 to 23-year-old babe. That's what you'll find here, complete with pretty painted toenails and dainty soles, both clean and dirty. You'll see the hotties both barefoot and in a variety of footwear, like stilettos, strappy high heels, sneakers and cork wedges.
She's a cutie with a pretty face, but her site stars her beautiful feet. Watch her show off her well-pedicured toes in sexy pumps and other footwear while wearing a variety of sexy outfits, like a catsuit. This babe poses in her office and even on the floor, but no matter where she is or what she has on, her pretty, well-kept feet have a life of their own.
Lesbians wearing socks, stockings or nothing engage in foot play, but also get naughty. They take off their shoes and rub their pussies with them, suck their own toes and stroke dildos with their fabulous feet. Most of the material is solo, but you can find two chicks licking toes and soles. You wont find a lot of content though and vid quality is average.
Asian chicks are known for their delicate bodies and that applies to their feet too. Exotic girls from across Asia spread their legs wide to expose their hairy or shaved pussies and tiny assholes, always with their tender feet up in their air to show off their delectable soles. Too bad that this site only has average-looking pics, so it's not really worth it.
These stunning models have great bodies, but you're here for their dirty feet. They walk around in all sorts of locations and get those footsies dusty and dirty and then some wash them off for the camera. Others just pose and let you delight in every speck of dirt that covers their sexy soles. The camera gets close, so you can make out every bit of dust.
These exotic models have nice, tight bodies, but you're here for the feet, right? They pose in all kinds of shoes and socks and then take it all off to show you amazing arches, tender toes and sizzling-hot soles. The locations are always different and each model brings her own sexy charm to the table. Check it out if the sight of feet gives you a thrill.
These hot babes are pretty to look at, but the focus isn't on their faces. Instead, you'll get a nice glimpse of their flawless feet. They pose in a variety of locations, both inside on beds and outside in nature. But you'll be enamored with every inch of their sexy toes. Be sure to admire the bright, captivating toenail polish some of these babes have on.
Horny housewives and cute coeds who love to have their feet touched, kissed and caressed show off their toes and feet for you on this site. They also get pretty naughty from time to time and, best of all, they do everything in front of a camera. The sexy babes mostly appear in good-looking photos. The website does have some issues, but it's a decent overall.
This hot website is dedicated to beautiful feet. There's some hardcore fucking to go along with all the foot fun, but sexy feet always remain the focus. There's a decent amount of content to be had on the site and many of its movies are presented in HD. Getting a membership is worthwhile, but you should know that updates don't come as often as they should.
Dangling her heels, removing and putting on stockings and rubbing her sweet toes, Barbara just loves to show off her feet. You don't learn much about this mysterious minx from her site, but after viewing the sexy feet on her, you will know all you need to know. From the soles of her feet to her sweet smile, this naughty babe deserves a standing ovation.
The ladies here aren't really ballet dancers, but these Italian hotties still do like to wear ballet slippers. The focus of the pics and vids is on the legs and feet of these sexy chicks as they put the slippers on and take them off again, revealing the pretty feet within. Their legs are also almost always covered with a pair of sultry, sexy stockings.
The sexy feet on these gorgeous teens are just part of a really hot package. The stunning gals show off their tootsies in a way that will keep any foot-fetish fan on their toes. Plus, they let the fun go north, showing off their muffs and pleasuring them with vibrators. The main issue here is that the site stopped growing, so the site won't last you too long.
These cuties love to show off their footsies in socks and stockings and they really let you in up close. Gray woolly socks, thick white sweat socks and sheer stockings are all represented here and each babe is cuter than the last and the next. Most of the hotties model their socks solo, but there is a sexy lesbo set that gives you a little more nudity.
The submissive guys here love sucking cute female toes, getting stepped on and licking succulent soles and boots - and you'll love it, too, although the design and quality could use work. Whether they're amateur Mistresses, gals-next-door or Goths, these babes put on a good show. True fans could be happy here, but the conversion makes it a little bit pricy.
Sexy feet deserve a lot of special care. These ladies pamper their feet and the footsies of others by painting their toenails, massaging tired feet and showing them off in sexy shoes and stockings. When the feet are this pretty, giving them any less attention should be made a crime. As should having as little content as this site has, which is unfortunate.
She is a gorgeous lady and she has a pair of nice feet as well. They look good in and out of shoes and covered in stockings (which she tends to wear most of the time). Check her out sitting on the bed just rubbing those pretty feet and her legs, teasing them in a sensual and softcore fashion. The camera focuses in tightly, so you surely won't miss a thing.
Debbie is blonde, slender and mature and she offers you a photos-only collection on her site. It highlights her and her pals' gorgeous legs and feet, but, sadly, the quality of the pics isn't that high. You get to see her nude bod and those of her friends, but foot fans most likely won't be getting what they're looking for here - and there aren't any videos.
The babes on this website get naked and naughty and they make sure to give you great looks at their sexy feet. The chicks don't appear in all that many movies, but they do appear in a decent number of photo sets. The collection isn't growing and it'll cost you a bit more than it should to check it out, so you might not want to bother getting a membership.
Come enjoy a foot-fetish site that covers the wide spectrum of feet-related categories, including bare soles, high heels, dirty feet, long toes, tickling, toe-sucking, foot bondage and everything in between. Dip your toe (pun intended) in the big world of foot porn, but know that you're actually getting a lot more pics than vids and the site stopped updating.
Sexy Carla is a 24-year-old beauty with a great pair of feet. She takes good care of those footsies of hers and it really shows, as they always look incredibly sexy. If you'd like to get a look at them for yourself, then Carla will be more than happy to help you out. Feel free to admire her sexy toes and soles while in nylons/pantyhose or fully exposed.
These feet try out several naughty things and stay bare while they do it all! From solo chicks with lotion between their soles to toe-sucking threesomes, you'll get lots of foot-fetish variety. Looks like babes love to smell each other's feet and massage and stretch some pretty arches. But with such little content you probably shouldn't bother with this one.
If you've got a craving for some hot foot porn with footjobs this site might just please you. Then again it might not, because it does have some problems. It's got a decent number of videos to share with you, but they tend to be average in quality and none of them are exclusive. Another big issue with the website is that it hasn't updated in quite some time.
As a member of this website, you get to see lots of inexperienced models pose for foot photos for the first time. The chicks show off their sexy feet in some videos too, but not very many. The website has got some hot content, but it has stopped updating and it charges a bit more than it should, so you shouldn't be in any kind of a rush to go check it out.
Every part of a woman is beautiful, but nothing more so than her feet. Not only do those soft, sexy soles and painted toes look divine, but they work hard too. Just check out these chicks who use nothing but their feet to work a guy hard. And then they keep on stroking until he covers their feet with jizz. It is just too bad there is such little content.
A chick who's good with her hands is great, but a footsy babe is even better. These honeys are experts at using their toes and arches for erotic kicks. From foot worship to using their pretty feet to dominate and trample their willing victims, these gals know the action's hottest down below. In the end, the sexy footjobs are great, but the quality here sucks.
When you get those late-night cravings for foot fetish content, there's no need to wait until morning. Just hit this drive-thru and get your fix of tender tootsies. From sexy solo scenes that let you see every inch of sole and ankle to raunchy lubed-up footjobs and steamy toe sucking. There are only high-res pics here, so this site isn't really worth joining.
You wanted feet, did you? Well, you got 'em. This website focuses solely (pun intended) on foot fetish fun. There's no sex, just the sexy footsies of beautiful women presented in high-res pics and average-looking vids. From freshly bathed toes to dirty feet straight out of work boots, there's something for everyone, but this site needs better-quality footage.

On May 14, the trustees of the Garden City Public Library voted to severely reduce its service hours. Effective June 1, the library will be open to the public nine fewer hours a week.
The library trustees claim that the reduction in operating hours is in response to budget cuts from the village board of trustees. However, in March, after comparing the Garden City Library to 54 other Nassau County libraries, the Citizens Budget Review and Advisory Committee (CBRAC) issued a unanimous report which stated that our village library is overstaffed and overfunded.
Friday, May 20, 2011, is the graduation of Adelphi University's Class of 2011. My colleagues on the Village Board of Trustees and I join all of the residents of our Village in extending congratulations to these outstanding young people. They have been a credit to our community and I am sure they will continue to reflect well on Garden City as Adelphi University's Alumni. We wish the Class of 2011 the very best and congratulate you on your many accomplishments and contributions.
I would like to take this opportunity to inform residents of Hempstead Town's SWIFT911 emergency notification service. The system provides a mechanism for Hempstead Town to phone, e-mail or text message residents and businesses under its jurisdiction in the event of an emergency, such as a severe storm evacuation. Other situations may include water main breaks, flooding, weather emergencies or natural disasters. Non-emergency contact may also be made in the event of town water department pipe flushing, which may affect water quality.
Garden City residents demonstrated their leadership and example last week by voting down a proposed bond authorization to demolish the venerable St. Paul's School. Now that the threat of razing has been dashed for the time being, it is important that village officials work with civic, preservation and business leaders to develop a realistic plan to ensure preservation of this iconic and historic structure. Municipal and public/private re-development scenarios should be reasonably assessed and a viable plan selected. The longer the future of this complex remains unresolved, the more uncertain its ultimate preservation. Now is the time to get to work. Based on the collective efforts conducted to defeat this demolition proposal, I am betting on the residents again rising to the top to solve this important challenge. Long Island is rooting for you!
John D. Cameron, Jr.
Chairman, Long Island Regional Planning Council
I am elated at the wisdom of our residents in preserving not only their very own history, but an iconic treasure that Garden City and no other village on Long Island has. The residents were intelligent enough to realize that demolishing St. Paul's would not only cause a tax increase to pay the bond, but also their very own homes would suffer a loss in value that would also result in another tax increase to make up any deficit.
I thank the Committee to Save St. Paul's, the Historical Society, Susan Lucci, Nelson DeMille and everyone who worked so hard on the campaign to save the building. But most importantly, I thank our village residents.
This week work began on the replacement of the Franklin Avenue decorative crosswalks. The work will be done in two phases. Phase #1 consists of night work (9 p.m. to 5 a.m.) taking place from Seventh Street to Eleventh Street at the intersections of Franklin Avenue, Monday through Friday, with some flexibility in either direction based on the work scheduled. This phase should last for approximately seven nights.
When Phase #1 is completed, there will be a two week period where the base installed will be allowed to set up. After this time period, Phase #2 will begin. During Phase #2, the actual decorative crosswalks will be installed. The work may be done during the day on the side streets and Franklin Avenue (if this is not possible, it will be done at night). This phase is expected to last approximately 12-15 work days.
The League of Women Voters of Nassau County, a non-partisan organization, which neither supports nor opposes any candidate or political party, is concerned about the County Legislature's haste in re-drawing the legislative district lines. In doing this, the Legislature is not adhering to its own County Charter, subsection 113, which requires an advisory redistricting commission to be established to reapportion the county legislative districts based on the federal census.
On Wednesday, April 27, 2011, there will be a Village-wide referendum on a bond issue in the sum of $3.75 million for funding to demolish St. Paul's. Voting will take place at the Fieldhouse at St. Paul's School, from noon until 9 p.m. Your vote, be it against funding for demolition, or for the funding, is very important.
Please make your voices heard.
[Editor's Note: This letter was sent to the Board of Trustees of the Village of Garden City.]
Having grown up on Third Street, and having lived on Fourth Street and Cedar Place for nearly all of my adult life, one always notices the dramatic transformation of the neighborhood as you leave Hempstead and drive into Garden City. One goes from the fully developed Franklin Street in Hempstead to the beautiful greenery of Garden City. Now, it appears there is an initiative on the Planning Commission to change that.
I have great news for the almost 45,000 Hempstead Town veterans who fought to defend our nation's freedom. The veterans booth at Hempstead Town Hall is serving more clients than ever!
After being closed in the summer of 2009 by the Governor and the New York State Division of Veterans' Affairs, the veterans booth was reopened with the assistance of the Military Order of the Purple Heart. Veterans, as well as their spouses and children, can continue to come to our counseling center every Wednesday and Thursday at Hempstead Town Hall to discuss veterans benefits and other veterans issues.

ALSTOM SA : Alstom to supply 29 Coradia Continental regional trains to VMS in Germany
2 April 2014
A contract worth €150 million
Alstom to supply 29 Coradia Continental regional trains
to VMS in Germany
Alstom has been awarded a €150 million contract[1] to supply 29 Coradia Continental electrical trains to Verkehrsverbund Mittelsachsen GmbH (VMS) in Central Saxony, Germany and a servicing contract over a period of 16 years. The first contract includes purchase options for up to 23 additional trains.
The trains are scheduled to enter commercial service in June 2016 on the Mittelsachsen II electricity network, from Elsterwerda and from Dresden through Chemnitz and Zwickau to Hof.
"We are pleased that VMS has chosen our modern solutions which include the Rolling Stock and the servicing.

The traction equipment is located on the roof, allowing spacious interior design including a large corridor for easier movement within the train.
Coradia Continental is equipped with a low floor, and handrails, that facilitate the access on board and circulation of passengers. The trains are equipped in accordance with the latest European crash standards, thereby providing a high degree of safety for the train drivers and passengers.
The 29 trains will be manufactured at Alstom's site in Salzgitter. Alstom employees will perform their maintenance until the end of 2032 in the workshop near Chemnitz. Up-to-date information regarding the maintenance[3] of the trains will be provided to all project members via a central information platform. The servicing contract also includes the maintenance planning the supply of spare parts as well as the main inspections.

Project Offset trailer doles out goosebumps
Ah, sweet Project Offset. There are few games that have us as intrigued as Project Offset. Initially touted as something of a squad-based, fantasy first person shooter, it had us hooked from the word go. And then almost all traces of the game vanished. Sure, we had snippets of info here and there: a teaser or two, a viral campaign of sorts (that has since disappeared). But then, nothing. Until now, it seems, as a trailer of the game has been leaked onto the internet. On the official website, the Project Offset team pleads that news sites not show the video. Considering said plea is actually the first time the Project Offset site's news section has been updated since October of 2006, we can hardly deny our news hungry readers such a tender morsel. Watch the video above -- which sports first and third person viewpoints and touts 5 distinct classes -- and dream.
