As you know, yesterday President Obama made an announcement about his Executive Action on Immigration. The President's Executive Action will benefit more than 4 million people in the U.S. Many will be protected, but not all are included. Sooner or later you will run into someone who will be asking questions about this broad range Executive Order. There are various aspects to this Executive Order (family based, arrival date, business related, ties to military). Here is some information you can share with them to answer their initial questions:
These are the links to the United States Citizenship & Immigration Service (USCIS)
Executive Action on Immigration
Acción Ejecutiva sobre Inmigración
This is a public service announcement from Immigration Immigration Equality, the national LGBTQ immigration legal defense organization:
This is advice against immigration scam which will unfortunately occur.
The Hispanic Lawyers Association of Illinois (HLAI) (of which I am a member) will have an information campaign to avoid immigration scams. Let's spread the word of caution. The Illinois Coalition for Immigrant Rights and Refugees (I am proud to be on its Board of Directors) will have a massive statewide campaign educating the immigrant population.
Be aware that, at the moment, there are no forms to complete. The USCIS will not be accepting any Executive Action related application for at least the next 90 days. Thus, there is no need to rush to apply. Your friends, loved ones, and neighbors should take this time to:
- educate themselves,
- determine whether or not they will qualify,
- whether or not they should apply, and
- to gather information necessary to prove their presence in the United States since at least January 1, 2010 (at least for parents of U.S. citizens and lawfully permanent residents).
I will keep you updated as more information and details on the various programs becomes available (forms, necessary documents, application acceptance start date, etc.). This is it at the moment.
I will be posting the latest information in my website: www.perrom.com.

The co-chairs of the Congressional Progressive Caucus released a memo today requesting the president take specific broad actions on creating a new affirmative relief program and expanding DACA:
Our Vote Matters!
Vote with your familia in mind.
Dear community,
On behalf of the ALMA Board of Directors, we want to encourage those individuals who have the privilege to vote, to exercise that right!
We have come along way: same-sex couples can now marry and undocumented immigrants can obtain drivers licenses in Illinois, for example; but our work is far from over. There is just too much at stake, and too many uncertainties to stay at home on November 4th.
We can't tell you who to vote for — but we encourage you to do your research. Where do candidates stand on issues important to the LGBTQ community, to the Latino community, to our families?
We especially want to bring to your attention two very important items on the ballot:
• Voters will be asked a non-binding referendum question on whether the minimum wage in Illinois should increase. LGBTQ Latinos are more likely to live in poverty. Married or partnered LGBT families are twice as likely to have household incomes near the poverty line, compared to families headed by a heterosexual couple. We urge you to think about the young LGBT Latinos who are disowned by their families, or think about the gay and lesbian Latino/a parents raising kids, who are working minimum wage salaries to survive. Our community cannot move forward, unless we all move forward. This is a step in the right direction.
• Voters will also be asked if they think that birth control should be covered in health insurance plans. This question is a result of of the horrendous "Hobby Lobby" Supreme Court decision, that concluded that for-profit private businesses had the right to deny birth control to their female employees' health insurance plan, if it was against the owner's religious beliefs. Many LGBT groups spoke out against the decision because it opened the door to the possibility of businesses denying LGBT people services based on personal religious beliefs. ALMA wholeheartedly supports that all people, including transgender individuals, should have access to a comprehensive health care.
This election is more than just about elected officials, it is about sending a clear message about our priorities. We hope that you will join ALMA, and all of our LGBT and Latino community partners this election, and vote for our communities.
Questions about the Illinois elections? Check out the State Board of Elections.
Let's move forward, let's demand action!
Julio, Board President
Luis, Advocacy Co-Chair
Association of Latino/as Motivating Action (ALMA)
Hi everyone, I am thrilled to share that just moments ago, the Illinois House of Representatives passed the historic freedom to marry bill! That was the biggest hurdle we faced to secure marriage equality in Illinois. The Illinois Senate, which passed the bill last Valentine's Day, must now agree with the House version of the bill, and that should happen within hours. Then the bill heads to the desk of Governor Pat Quinn, who has promised to sign it. The bill passed with a bipartisan vote, with Chicago, suburban, and downstate, African-American and Latino lawmakers all joining forces to do the right thing by Illinois families. Illinois now joins the inevitable march to marriage equality for all gay and lesbian couples throughout the U.S. Thank you all for your support, hard work and faith in our efforts to make Illinois the blue it is!!! Board of ALMA For more information on the pasing of the historic bill Marriage Bill in Illinois go to www.IllinoisUnites.org.

Celso Cardenas & Alejandro Lopez | Chicago, IL
For Chicago natives Celso Cardenas and Alejandro Lopez, their life together didn't begin with love at first sight. They met in the summer of 2003, when Celso had just moved back to the city after studying in Michigan, during a chance encounter with mutual friends. Alex saw Celso from across the way with a friend of his, thought Celso was cute, and quickly decided to introduce himself. Read more here.

Wednesday, June 26, 2013, will go down as a historic date in our country. TheAssociation of Latino Men for Action (ALMA) is very proud of the Supreme Court's rulings, deeming the Defense of Marriage Act unconstitutional and dismissing California's Proposition 8 case. These are steps taken in the right direction towards equality. We are very encouraged by these decisions; however, we can't fail to recognize the work that still has to be done. Here in Illinois, same-sex marriage is not yet a reality. Same-sex couples are not granted the same rights as their heterosexual counterparts. While this ruling will change the landscape of our movement we have to continue to push forward and fight for equality! To find out what you can do, visit our friends at Equality Illinois: http://www.eqil.org El miércoles, 26 de junio del 2013, será recordado como una fecha histórica en nuestro país. La Asociación de Hombres Latinos en Acción (ALMA) está muy orgullosa de las decisiones de la Corte Suprema de Justicia, que consideró que la Ley de Defensa del Matrimonio es inconstitucional y despidió al caso de la Proposición 8 de California. Estos son pasos dados en la dirección correcta hacia la igualdad. Estamos muy motivados por estas decisiones, sin embargo, no podemos dejar de reconocer el trabajo que aún se tiene que hacer. Aquí en Illinois, el matrimonio entre personas del mismo sexo aún no es una realidad. A las parejas del mismo sexo no se les conceden los mismos derechos que a las parejas heterosexuales. ¡Esta decisión va a cambiar el panorama de nuestro movimiento, pero tenemos que seguir impulsando y luchar por la igualdad! Para saber lo que puede hacer, visite a nuestros amigos en Equality Illinois: http://www.eqil.org

Beaver Falls, PA – Geneva's baseball team managed just five hits in the first game of a doubleheader against Penn State Beaver.

Jon Bushmire picked up two of Geneva's five hits in game one with Bryan Visingardi and Justin Acosta provided a pair of seventh inning RBI's for the only offensive highlights of the first game. Five Geneva errors didn't help starter Phil Shallenberger's outing as he was handed the complete game loss.
In game two, Geneva again fell behind 3-0 into the second inning before the offense found its stride. Seven runs in the bottom of the second gave Geneva control of the game. Two runs singles from Adam Scheiderer and Jon Jurinko highlighted the rally. Scheiderer struck again in a four-run sixth inning with his first home run of the season. Geneva banged out 13 hits in the victory Scheiderer and Jon Jurinko collecting three hits each. Mike Trn went the distance for the victory allowing four runs on six hits and striking out five.

VIDEO: Army Sgt. surprises family at Rose Parade
Sgt. 1st Class Eric Pazz surprised wife, son
PASADENA, Calif. - There were some spectacular floats to grace Tuesday's 124th Tournament of Roses parade in Pasadena, but it was one particular moment that brought many to tears.
Take a look at the surprise pulled off by an Army veteran, who shocked his family while riding on the Canines for Courage float.
The wife and son of Sgt. 1st Class Eric Pazz had no idea he would be home from Afghanistan. They were flown in from Germany, believing they had won a contest to attend the parade.


text: UKIP Councillor: Don't 'Enforce' Equality, Defend Freedom to End Injustice Print article Send a Tip by Donna Rachel Edmunds 31 May 2014 post a comment The French poet Baudelaire once said that "the finest trick of the devil was to persuade you he does not exist". By the same token, the greatest trick of Harriet Harman was in convincing the British people that the Equalities Act 2010 has anything to do with 'equality' as most people understand it. In truth, the British people have always been a particularly fair nation. They "play up, and play the game", and they do so with an instinctive sense of fair play. In his latest book How We Invented Freedom and Why it Matters, Daniel Hannan MEP charts over 1000 years of British history at the heart of which lies the simple, yet exceptional notion that the state is subject to the people, rather than the reverse. An outcome of this notion is the idea that all are equal before the (common) law, from the King and Queen down to the lowliest of their subjects. Another is that each of us, if accused of wrongdoing, is entitled to an impartial hearing before our peers. By upholding common law we British have for centuries enshrined the instinctive belief that the law should apply equally to everyone. The idea that the whole population, regardless of race or any other defining factor, are legally treated in the same manner is therefore most British people's definition of 'equality'. It is certainly mine. But it's not Harriet Harman's. Her Equalities Act 2010 completely recasts the word 'equality' to mean not 'everyone the same', but 'preferential treatment for certain groups'. The Act states that it is against the law to discriminate against anyone because of "protected characteristics", which are as follows: age being or becoming a transsexual person being married or in a civil partnership being pregnant or having a child disability race including colour, nationality, ethnic or national origin religion, belief or lack of religion/belief sex sexual orientation In theory this sounds reasonable enough. No fair-minded person would want to refuse someone a job because he was in a wheelchair, would they? Not unless that job was as a fireman, and one of the duties was to climb ladders to rescue those in peril, perhaps. The problem with this state enforced version of equality is that it fails to take into account the fact that we are not all clones. Different people have differing abilities, motivations, interests. To acknowledge that is to celebrate the full range of human life in all its vibrancy. And wait, what happens when two of those groups come into direct conflict with each other, as, for example, Christians and homosexuals seem to do so often? Whilst in theory they are on equal footing, in practice, it's one rule for Christians, another for the gay community. In addition, singling out certain characteristics implies that it's perfectly fair and reasonable to discriminate against someone on grounds not listed, such as political leanings. To pick a hypothetical example from thin air, should the BBC tomorrow decide that henceforth it was only going to hire people with a left-leaning bias, it would be perfectly entitled, legally, to do so, whether or not the rest of us thought that was fair. As Milton Friedman put it, "A society that puts equality ahead of freedom will end up with neither equality nor freedom". He is being proved exactly right in Britain today. Not only is the legislation insulting to the people of Britain, assuming as it does that we are all closet racists and homophobes who need to be told what to think, it's also divisive. One of the unintended consequences is that we are becoming less tolerant, not more. By equating the law with morality, active intolerance of opinions other than those deemed 'correct' is not only acceptable but to be encouraged. For daring to suggest that freedom is more important than enforced equality, I have been labelled a 'homophobe, racist bigot who hates women'; I have received hate mail both online and through the post; and more latterly I have been ordered by a secretive procedure to undergo 'equalities training'. Through all of this I have gone out of my way time and again to point out that I am not condoning or applauding discrimination – far from it. But in my opinion, following the British tradition, unless you can apply a law equally to everyone, it should not be implemented at all. Far better to let society deal with those it deems bigoted. I would not want to spend my money within a business that discriminated against any group, and I trust that the vast majority of my fellow Brits would feel and act the same way. That business would very quickly fold. So, like Frederic Bastiat, who was writing in 1850, I believe that "the solution to the problems of human relationships [are] to be found in liberty." Now, you may disagree with me on all of this. Like Ms Harman, you may feel that certain groups have been historically disadvantaged, and that we need to level the playing field in some way. Well, so be it, we're all entitled to our opinion. What we are not entitled to do – whether left wing, right wing, socialist, anarcho-capitalist – is force others to share our opinions. We may well live in a corporatist, increasingly socialist state, but I don't have to like it. Since Breitbart published my little act of rebellion, I have been overwhelmed by the support shown by people both in the UK and the US, UKIP members and non-members alike. One gentleman emailed me to say: "I watched this awful 'thing' creep into my own organisation. The creeping became a stream and then a torrent, creating a bandwagon to climb onto for those who wouldn't swim against it and, as the waves settled, it left a creeping paralysis in its wake. I was required to attend several equalities `training courses` during my 32 years public service. I was always a strong advocate of fairness in the workplace. I certainly didn't need laws to allow me to do so. You nailed it when you implied it wasn't so much training as indoctrination. "I believe freedom is more important than equality. If the only way to make things more equal is to reduce freedom, I'm not interested. Human nature being what it is, equality will have to be enforced, while freedom will have to be defended. I'd rather be a defender than an enforcer." I couldn't have put it better myself. I plan to be a defender until my dying day. I would encourage all of you who value freedom to be defenders, whenever the opportunity arises. Only in this way will the tide finally be turned.

Jacksonville Beach beefs up police presence year after brawl
Updated On: May 27 2014 12:26:48 AM EDT
A year ago a violent beach brawl had the Jacksonville Beach community calling for change.
It appears this year change was delivered for the Memorial Day holiday.
Channel 4 spoke with Jacksonville Beach Police Chief Patrick Dooley and beachgoers on Monday about the measures put in place to avoid a repeat of last year's problems.
Everyone had the same message: Jacksonville Beach police got it right.
"It was addressed immediately by police, and that (brawl) shouldn't be the brand that people try to give us out at the beach," Dooley said.
On Monday, police could be seen all through the beaches area on everything from Segways and ATVs to cruisers and bikes — along with plenty of boots on the ground.
"There's not a question. There are police here. They're going to look around and see police just about everywhere in some fashion or another," Dooley said. "That (brawl) was an anomaly. That was just a handful of people who got into a fight. It was blown way out of proportion."
Video of the beach brawl went viral last Memorial Day, prompting safety concerns and even a town hall meeting. Dooley said it created an unfair brand of the Jacksonville Beach scene — one holiday visitors said they didn't see any hint of on Monday.
"I definitely feel the police presence here, and it's intimidating enough to keep people from doing anything," said holiday beach visitor John Hackett.
While officers did address minor traffic, music and drinking violations, Dooley said this year's Memorial Day proved to be a holiday free from trouble.
He said similar staffing levels can be expected for the Fourth of July holiday and Labor Day weekend and gave credit to the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office for helping to add more manpower to the patrols.

Less than 24 hours after footage of comedian Katt Williams attacking a Target employee surfaced, the troubled actor has been arrested on assault and harassment charges in Seattle.
According to reports, Williams got busted Sunday (December 2) afternoon following a bar incident.
Officers were called to the World Sports Grille near 9th Avenue North and Westlake Avenue around 2:30 p.m. to investigate a report involving Williams and a bar patron. According to the Seattle Police Department, Williams, who was in town to perform a show at the Parmount Theater, exchanged words with patrons at the bar and brandished a pool cue at the bar manager. Williams also allegedly flicked a cigarette at a woman in a car. When officers tried to arrest Williams, he allegedly struggled and refused. He was booked into the King County Jail for investigation of assault, harassment and obstruction. (Q13 Fox Seattle)
Police spokesman Jonah Spagenthal-Lee has released a statement on what went down.
"During the incident Williams exchanged words with patrons in the bar, brandished a pool cue at a bar manager and refused to leave the business," Spagenthal-Lee said. "At one point during the altercation, Williams followed a family outside of the bar where, as the family got into their car, Williams flicked a cigarette through a car window at a woman, striking her just below her eye. Williams also threw a rock at the family's car." (Seattle Pi)
Prior to these reports, footage fo Katt attacking a Sacramento, California Target employee emerged.
What did the 5 fingers say to the face? Ask the guy who got PIMP SLAPPED by Katt Williams. Katt wasn't done after leading cops on a crazy three-wheeled chase through Sacramento on Sunday — because moments later, he hit up a Target … where he belted an employee IN THE FACE … and TMZ has footage of the face-to-hand contact. There's no audio, so we can't tell what the argument is about — but by the looks of the employee's body language before the wallop (placing his hand on his chest) the guy wasn't looking for a fight. (TMZ)
He also ran into some problems with Oakland police a few weeks ago.
Comedian Katt Williams, in town for a Friday appearance at the Oracle Arena, was being questioned by police in connection with an assault in downtown Oakland, according to police. Another man was hit in the head with a bottle during the scuffle and taken to a hospital after the incident, which happened about 8 p.m. near the Courtyard Marriott in the 900 block of Broadway. Williams, a comedian, actor and rapper, is known for his role as Money Mike in "Friday After Next." (Marin Independent Journal)

MEXICO CITY (AP) - A new study says that more than half of Mexican adults don't get regular exercise, a worrisome figure in a country with high rates of obesity and diabetes.
The National Statistics Institute says a survey has found that only 43.6 percent of Mexicans exercise or practice sports regularly, compared to 51.4 percent in the United States and 54 percent in Canada. The main reasons given for not exercising are a lack of time and exhaustion after work.
The study made public Wednesday says almost two-thirds of the Mexicans who don't exercise are women.
Mexico is among the fattest countries in the world. Just under one-third of adults are obese, according to the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization.

FORT MYERS BEACH, Fla. - It's your money and thousands are being wasted every time the U.S. Coast Guard responds to a false emergency call. Officials say in recent weeks, boaters have been lighting up the sky over the gulf with distress flares for no reason.
"We really don't find out until we've exhausted our resources," said USCG Petty Officer Second Class Anthony Tipton. "Lately it's been on the rise. This month we've had six cases. In the last two weeks, we've been averaging two a week/ We've used taxpayers' money for launching resources and hours have been wasted."
Launching a C-130 Coast Guard aircraft costs $15,000 an hour. Helicopters with crew run between $7-8,000 an hour. A three-hour search for nothing could cost nearly $70,000.
"If you shoot one off just for the fun of it, you may be paying for one of these boats or airplanes to come look for you. Believe me, they will find you," Bill Petritz of the USCG Auxilary said.
It's a trend they're trying to extinguish, while at the same time, reminding boaters how to properly use flares in an emergency. "When you shoot them off, shoot one," Petritz said. "Then immediately, shoot a second, in groups of two, when a rescuer is nearby."
Whether it's hand-held, pistol-fired or smoke, Officers say you should have at least three onboard. Not having enough could also bring you a fine.
"If you are in harm's way on a boat, these are the devices that can save your life - not for fun - they are for saving your life," Petritz said.
The Coast Guard also wants to remind boaters to check the dates on their flares. Petritz said most are made for only 42 months of use. Some of the older flares launched during the demonstration did not make it very far.

How a wrinkle becomes a creaseJune 25, 2014 2:45 pm | by Kevin Stacey, Brown Univ. | News | Comments
Wrinkles, creases and folds are everywhere in nature, from the surface of human skin to the buckled crust of the Earth. They can also be useful structures for engineers. Wrinkles in thin films, for example, can help make durable circuit boards for flexible electronics. A newly developed mathematical model could help engineers control the formation of wrinkle, crease and fold structures in a wide variety of materials.

A recent study by scientists in Singapore showed that adults who played the physics-based puzzle video game Cut the Rope regularly, for as little as an hour a day, had improved executive functions. This marks the first time video games have been shown to deliver such broad improvements.
Woman or machine? New robots look creepily humanJune 24, 2014 9:46 am | by Yuri Kageyama, AP Business Writer | News | Comments
New robot guides at a Tokyo museum look so eerily human and speak so smoothly they almost outdo people. The two life-size robots, which have silicon skin, artificial muscles, and can speak in a variety of voices, will be on display starting Wednesday, allowing the public to interact with them extensively.
Ferroelectric switching seen in biological tissuesJune 24, 2014 7:32 am | by Michelle Ma, Univ. of Washington | News | Comments
Measurements taken at the molecular scale have, for the first time, confirmed a key property that could improve our knowledge of how the heart and lungs function. Univ. of Washington researchers have shown that a favorable electrical property is present in a type of protein found in organs that repeatedly stretch and retract, such as the lungs, heart and arteries.
Researchers develop genetic control mechanism for major livestock pestJune 19, 2014 1:04 pm | by Mick Kulikowski, North Carolina State Univ. News Services | News | Comments
Researchers from North Carolina State Univ. have developed a technique to control populations of the Australian sheep blowfly—a major livestock pest in Australia and New Zealand—by making female flies dependent upon a common antibiotic to survive.
Nature's chem lab: How microorganisms manufacture drugsJune 19, 2014 8:25 am | by Jim Erickson, Univ. of Michigan | News | Comments
Researchers at the Univ. of Michigan have obtained the first 3-D snapshots of the "assembly line" within microorganisms that naturally produces antibiotics and other drugs. Understanding the complete structure and movement within the molecular factory gives investigators a solid blueprint for redesigning the microbial assembly line to produce novel drugs of high medicinal value.
Collecting light with artificial moth eyesJune 18, 2014 4:00 pm | News | Comments
Researchers the world over are investigating solar cells which imitate plant photosynthesis, with the goal of using sunlight and water to create synthetic fuels such as hydrogen. Scientists in Switzerland have developed this type of photoelectrochemical cell, but this one recreates a moth's eye to drastically increase its light collecting efficiency. The cell is made of cheap raw materials: iron and tungsten oxide.
Familiar yet strange: Water's "split personality" revealed by computer modelJune 18, 2014 2:01 pm | by Catherine Zandonella, Office of the Dean for Research | News | Comments
Seemingly ordinary, water has quite puzzling behavior. Why, for example, does ice float when most liquids crystallize into dense solids that sink? Using a computer model to explore water as it freezes, a team at Princeton Univ. has found that water's weird behaviors may arise from a sort of split personality: At very cold temperatures and above a certain pressure, water may spontaneously split into two liquid forms.
Human sweat can reduce bacteria defenses in hospitals, schoolsJune 18, 2014 8:35 am | News | Comments
Sweaty hands can reduce the effectiveness of bacteria-fighting brass objects in hospitals and schools after just an hour of coming into contact with them, according to scientists at the Univ. of Leicester. While copper found in everyday brass items has an antimicrobial effect on bacteria the team has discovered that peoples' sweat can produce sufficient corrosion to adversely affect its use to kill a range of microorganisms.
Moscow researcher predicts new state of matterJune 17, 2014 11:25 am | News | Comments
A physicist in Russia, Alexander Rozhkov, has presented theoretical calculations which indicate the possible existence of fermionic matter in a previously unknown state. It is defined as a 1-D liquid, which cannot be described within the framework of existing models. According to Rozhkov, the 1-D liquid state of matter is not necessarily one that can be observed with the naked eye on a macroscopic scale.
Strange physics turns off laserJune 17, 2014 10:59 am | News | Comments
Inspired by anomalies that arise in certain mathematical equations, researchers have demonstrated a laser system that paradoxically turns off when more power is added rather than becoming continuously brighter. The finding could lead to new ways to manipulate the interaction of electronics and light, an important tool in modern communications networks and high-speed information processing.
Solar photons drive water off the moonJune 17, 2014 8:29 am | by Jason Maderer, Georgia Institute of Technology | News | Comments
Water is thought to be embedded in the moon's rocks or, if cold enough, "stuck" on their surfaces. It's predominantly found at the poles. But scientists probably won't find it intact on the sunlit side. New research at indicates that ultraviolet photons emitted by the sun likely cause water molecules to either quickly desorb or break apart.
A virus reveals the physics of nanoporesJune 16, 2014 4:36 pm | by Kevin Stacey, Brown Univ. | News | Comments
Nanopores may one day lead a revolution in DNA sequencing. By sliding DNA molecules one at a time through tiny holes in a thin membrane, it may be possible to decode long stretches of DNA at lightning speeds. Scientists, however, haven't quite figured out the physics of how polymer strands like DNA interact with nanopores.
With the right rehabilitation, paralyzed rats learn to grip againJune 16, 2014 2:58 pm | News | Comments
After a large stroke, motor skills barely improve, even with rehabilitation. An experiment conducted on rats demonstrates that a course of therapy combining the stimulation of nerve fiber growth with drugs and motor training can be successful. The key, however, is the correct sequence: Paralyzed animals only make an almost complete recovery if the training is delayed until after the growth promoting drugs have been administered.
Sensor in eye could track pressure changes, monitor glaucomaJune 16, 2014 2:21 pm | by Michelle Ma, Univ. of Washington | News | Comments
Your eye could someday house its own high-tech information center, tracking important changes and letting you know when it's time to see an eye doctor. Univ. of Washington engineers have designed a low-power sensor that could be placed permanently in a person's eye to track hard-to-measure changes in eye pressure.
Bionic pancreas may revolutionize diabetes treatmentJune 16, 2014 10:39 am | by Marilynn Marchione, Associated Press | News | Comments
Scientists have made big progress on a "bionic pancreas" to free some people with diabetes from the daily ordeal of managing their disease. A wearable, experimental device passed a real-world test, constantly monitoring blood sugar and automatically giving insulin or a sugar-boosting drug as needed, doctors say.
How cormorants emerge dry after deep divesJune 16, 2014 7:46 am | by David L. Chandler, MIT News Office | News | Comments
Feathers have long been recognized as a classic example of efficient water-shedding—as in the well-known expression "like water off a duck's back." A combination of modeling and laboratory tests has now determined how both chemistry—the preening oil that birds use—and the microstructure of feathers, with their barbs and barbules, allow birds to stay dry even after emerging from amazingly deep dives.

A children's cancer charity is set to benefit from the LET ISPS HANDA Ladies European Masters Media Day after the second-placed team decided to donate their prizes to be auctioned off.
After carding the second best score with LET pros Hannah Burke and Lucy Williams at The Buckinghamshire GC on Thursday, local journalists Steve Jackson and Luke Ashmead gave their two Odyssey Golf Putter Vouchers to Abbie's Army.
The charity was formed 18 months ago following the death of six-year-old Abbie Mifsud, who died of the most fatal form of childhood brain cancer within five months of diagnosis.
Jackson said: "It just seemed the right thing to do and it capped the perfect day. The weather was lovely, Luke and myself had the opportunity to play alongside two excellent young pros and we managed to finish runners-up.
"But the real winners are the charity because the money raised will go towards Abbie's Army, who are fighting to provide funds in an effort to find a cure for DIPG, which is currently an inoperable and incurable brain tumour."
Ladies European Tour Order of Merit leader Charley Hull has already pledged her support towards the charity.
For more details of the charity and to donate money, visit www.abbiesarmy.co.uk. Charity Commission Reg No 1149400.

Naperville currently does not have its own sales tax, but under home rule authority, it is allowed to implement one.
However, with a projected $14.1 million budget shortfall in the 2010-2011 year, the City Council is considering adding a sales tax as an option for closing the gap.
Other options include raising property taxes, raising gas taxes, deferring road work or taking on more debt. The property tax would have to rise from 71 cents to 89 cents per $100, and road work would get more expensive if it is delayed.
Also under consideration was the reduction of the downtown food and beverage tax if a sales tax is added, as that was part of the agreement when the tax was implemented.
Do you think a sales tax is called for, or is there a better option?

As part of our #Grazia360 extravanganza, we're taking you on an all-angles tour of fashion weeks around the world. So far, there's been exclusive chats with the likes of Victoria Beckham backstage and Harry Styles on the FROW - but what's fashion week-ing like for those people you don't see?
We turned to Annielou Jennings, booker for Premier Models, for her take on the action. This is one lady who sees the inner goings-on of London Fashion Week and knows how tirelessly the catwalkers work, from late night fittings to non-stop rehearsals, and she's there every step of the way.
So what was Annielou's highlight? 'Most definitely it was sharing the lift with Tom Ford!' she says. As for how she survives fashion week, the booker reveals that it's all about the caffeine to get her through the shows and recharge those batteries.
Have a click through Annielou's exclusive diary above to see LFW through her eyes...
