Ice Cube talking all this shit lately about the New West and these up and coming rappers and not keeping it gangsta etc etc. Cube is the biggest studio gangsta out of the old West besides Dr.Dre. Cube and his crew got they ass whooped in New York during the NWA vs Cube feud. Also Solo whooped his ass good and took his chain. He gotten his hoe card pulled so many damn times like Yukmouth is today. Cube is a fake and a pussy. When Kam dissed him hard core, he bowed down like a pussy cause he didn't want no drama with Kam and the FOI. He also got bitch slapped by Common who totally ate him up on wax. I mean this hard core gangsta got dissed by a light hearted concious rapper from Chicago? Cube is a straight pussy and when Cypress dropped Ice Cube Killer, Cube was shitting his draws becauase every ESE in LA including the Mexican Mafia were out to kill Cube and his family. King Sun rushed him on stage and ran him the fuck outta New York. Now he is hating on Mack 10 like a bitch ass faggot. Mack had his back during the Cypress Feud and basicaly saved Ice Cube's life from letting the ESE's gang rape him. This bitch ass nigga Oshea Jackoff is so damn fake, he aint not O.G. he is more like an O.W. an Old Wankster. Stop perpretating Cube, you a old ass mutherfucker that aint shit, and you werent no gangsta in your prime either. Yea, you had some good tracks when you were hungry in those death certificate days but your last 3 albums were pure garbage and only sold a food stamp because your name recognition. Hang the mic up old man, you couldn't old Jay Rocks jock on your best day!

I will do nothing lightly. When I walk, I will walk heavily. When I fight, I will fight with conviction. When I speak, I will speak strongly. When I feel, I will feel everything. When I love, I will love with everything.
AWW Poor dickriders getting mad that I hurt their feelings by dissing they daddy. Oh and I will fight Cube. Im 6ft 4 220lbs and I will put a beating so bad on Cube that his kids won't recognize him. Whats the point? The nigga gets beaten up so much that I would be one of many to bitch slap his ass. You all got Cubes dick in your mouth. When he says jump, you stupid no self respecting having niggas say " how high ". Fuckin stool pigeon sheep ass puppet ass niggaz
c'mon man the hustle still good, yeah i miss the old a.m.w. death certificate cube but the game evolves and so must yo hustle. those that dont evolve die off!
your point of view is interesting , even if it sounds bitter like cube owes u personally, if so call him on it or put out an album and show us how it's done
dont talk it, walk it!!!!!! hell i'll buy yo joint and crusade for yo a$$ if it's bangin, but tell me this what nicca been in the game this long and still gettin' it in like cube?
krs- NOPE!!!!! (THO THAT NICCA IS STILL LYRICAL THAN A MUTHA!!!)
anybody on the west coast(helllll nawwwwww, and i prefer the west coast styles even bein from the south, every thing now is recycled nothing original cube is an original gangsta' with it but if he does a track other than gangsta u say he's selling out c'mon man if you dont evolve and be creative and grow it's a wrap
by the way , the war disc was good (not great,not a classic, but good)
creative, good metaphors ghetto vet was my favorite track on that one the only drawback was the don dada voice on most tracks instead of flowing like his first 2 albums that aggressive flow on anything from cube will kill most anything out now.
lastly these j-rocks and glasses malone mad cause they dont feel the legends will lend them a hand. step correct,pay yo dues and be humble and that might change if not blaze your own trail without the hate and resentment be creative even if it's old same ol' same old the fast ball ain't always the best pitch sometimes u need a change-up or curve ball to win the game . but hatin on legends is a strike out every time. (real talk)

Absolutely spot on, it's a waste of time replying this lunatic, he obviously enjoys this negative publicity. If he had anything close to a semblance of a life he wont be on here saying so much rubbish epitomizing his stupidity and craziness.

i like how some lil dude from trailer park boys is talking shit about some made up shit. even if cube got his ass kicked(which he didnt) he is not a mma fighter. nor a pro boxer.
you get on here trying to piss people off about someone they admire, but i bet you wouldn't be this mouthy if you came to my house, cuz as soon as you talked shit like ur hard, id get my boy to start up the video camera so i could brod cast your ass really getting kicked. throw that shit on youtube.
I think your assertions are quite unenviable...objectionable to say the least. Ice Cube is my favorite Rapper, Actor, and Producer. I also like the fact that he was studying to be an architect. I think he is intelligent and an original.

Skeptical Investors Mull Verizon Vodafone Split
James Dennin, Kapitall: Verizon has split from its partner Vodafone, consolidating its control of the global wireless business. So why are shares in both companies going down?
In one of the largest corporate break-ups in history, American communications giant Verizon (VZ) is buying out it's former partner Vodafone, to further consolidate its wireless business. Verizon is spending $130 billion in the takeover, a huge price that almost surpasses their market capitalization, and indicates the firm's resounding faith in the growth prospects of the American wireless market. Wireless accounted for 2/3 of Verizon's profits last year, even while splitting the revenues with Vodafone (VOD). The new deal will give Verizon, already the largest data-provider in the US, a market share that detractors are saying increasingly resembles a monopoly.
[Read more from Kapitall: Online Gambling Stocks: Will the US Cash In?]
Which begs the question: why are shares in both companies down, despite finally extricating themselves from a partnership which according to Forbes, was the third largest merger in history? For one, neither Verizon nor Vodafone's stock has kept pace with growth over the past year. Whereas the S&P 500 gained over 16% in the last year, Verizon's shares have risen only 6%. This comes amid an increasingly competitive wireless market, as more and more providers vie for fewer and fewer new subscribers. Most of the consumers buying wireless service in the US already have it. That makes growing difficult.Vodafone is expressing optimism about the deal and the massive influx of cash which it plans to reinvest in its European businesses. It also plans to use part of the $130 billion to consolidate its debt burden, and return some money to investors, who haven't seen much revenue from the already depressed stock. However, Vodafone's shares are still down for the day, indicating that the company's British shareholders are less-than-enthused about their new stake in American wireless. With Verizon's stock price down over 3% nearing the market's close, investors seem to be united their skepticism of the multi-billion dollar deal.

The empowered group of ministers (EGoM) under finance minister P Chidambaram will meet on Monday to take a decision on charging incumbent telecom service providers for excess spectrum beyond contractual obligations.
On Friday, the attorney general (AG) submitted its opinion to the EGoM stating that operators should not be charged for excess spectrum retrospectively from the date of allocation of spectrum. This is contrary to a decision by the Telecom Commission that operators should be charged for excess spectrum retrospectively.
The Telecom Commission had decided to charge for spectrum beyond 4.4 Mhz, while the AG has opined that they should be charged beyond 6.2 MHz.
The government would have earned R36,933 crore by charging for excess spectrum, the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) had said in a report.
Under the old licensing regime, telecom licences were issued along with a start-up spectrum of 4.4 MHz. Incumbent operators were issued spectrum beyond this limit without charging any one-time fee.
The government has been making efforts in containing high fiscal deficit and the finance ministry wants to meet its target of raising Rs. 40,000 crore through spectrum auction and charges by March, 2013. However, if the AG's opinion is accepted it will be difficult for the government to meet this target.
The auction for 2G spectrum will be held in November. The national exchequer may not get more than R15,000 crore through this sale in this fiscal as only 25% of the final bid amount has to be paid upfront.
The government may not accept Telecom Regulatory Authority of India's (Trai) recommendations to reduce the reserve price for cellular radiowaves (spectrum) by up to 46% in the auction slated for January.
Elections Special: Three generations of Kashmir on politics and aspirations


text: A conservative English blogger I admire has recently been denouncing the alleged evils of conspiracy theories, even claiming that they originate in "American fascism." As a commenter pointed out, this blogger is a proponent of the theory that a secretive cabal of government officials, scientists, interest groups, corporate interests, and the UN have foisted the global warming nonsense on us. He's right, of course. The blogger's view of Osama—that he was at the center of a global cabal running and funding terrorists in many countries—is a conspiracy theory, too. As Murray Rothbard pointed out, there are good conspiracy theories and bad conspiracy theories. Our job is to tell the difference, not to join the demonization mob against those who do not accept official tales. And not to reject any tool that helps us understand the reality of the vicious struggle for power over others: politics.9:29 pm on May 5, 2011 Email Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr.

"I made this cake for a potluck and everybody said it tasted like "MORE". I gave the recipe to a friend who substituted a can of pumpkin for the bananas and used instant cheesecake pudding mix in the frosting. She said it turned out great and her boys loved it. I'll have to try that too."
"YUMMY! YUMMY! YUMMY! This cake is great. I used a bag of frozen berries which is 1-1/2 cups. That was plenty. When I make again, I might use a little cinnamon or a little lemon zest. I made this for a potluck and everyone loved it."
"Easy and simple to make. I did find it to be a bit bland."
"I used three chicken breasts and that was great plenty. After it was cooked, I served it over pasta. Very good but I would probably add a little more tomato due to personal taste."
"Kind of sweet for my tastes. I will try again without the powdered sugar dusting. Still, it is a keeper."
"Good recipe. Made a batch for a Potluck and they all disappeared. Will make again"
"This was very flavorful. The crust was very sticky and hard to spread. I am going to try again using some refrigerated sugar cookie dough for the crust."
"This was very good. I left the green pepper out because of personal preference. Will make again."
"GREAT!!! I used mild cheddar cheese instead of Velveeta. Before serving, I spread some buttered crushed cornflakes on the top."
"This was very good. I used salad shrimp so I didn't chop the shrimp. I didn't have any plain bread crumbs so I used seasoned crumbs. Will definitely make again."

When US Federal Communications Commission chair Julius Genachowski leaves his post "in the coming weeks," there will likely be a heap of expectations facing his successor. President Barack Obama has yet to name a replacement and no firm date for Genachowski's last day at the agency has been released, but Capitol Hill and industry pundits are rife with opinions as to what direction the agency head should go. For example, Phil Weiser, dean of the University of Colorado law school and a former senior presidential adviser, claims this could be a time to redefine the FCC's role, which could include improving its enforcement capabilities and allow it to be more responsive to emerging issues through self-regulation. He told the Washington Post that one of the main priorities will be "freeing up wireless spectrum not only for consumers but also for machine-to-machine communications." He added, "A core challenge for the FCC and the government is to create more access to spectrum, which will enable more entrepreneurs, companies, and individuals to use it in interesting ways. In addition to freeing up licensed spectrum, the government could also make available additional unlicensed spectrum." The leading candidates for the FCC post are reportedly Tom Wheeler, a venture capitalist who has led wireless and the cable trade groups; and Jessica Rosenworcel, an FCC commissioner backed by US Senate Commerce Committee Chair Jay Rockefeller and 37 other senators. (The Washington Post)(Reuters)
The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS), as part of a year-long $3 million project, contracted with vendor Accenture to test technology designed to monitor open social networks for indications of possible pandemics. In announcing the project, Accenture said it wants to prove that social media can be analyzed for the early detection of public problems such as infectious-disease outbreaks or nuclear emergencies. Among the sites DHS will monitor include Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and various blogs. The NextGov US-government news website reported that DHS has tracked social media previously "in the interest of public safety." The discovery of this type of tracking has caused controversy and triggered legal action from the Electronic Privacy Information Center. (SlashDot)(NextGov)

With every passing year, the topic of "social media influencers" gains momentum. Back in the day – as in back before the phrase "social media" even existed – reaching out and subsequently building a network of relationships with key influencers like bloggers, fan site owners, and forum administrators was almost exclusively the domain of niche players.

Progress On Cloud Computing Policy Is Hit And Miss Around The World, BSA Study Finds
Singapore leaps forward in global policy rankings; Japan, Australia, and US lead global market; Europe stalls
WASHINGTON, March 7, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Countries around the world are improving the legal environment for cloud computing — though at an uneven pace that risks undermining the full economic potential of cloud technologies, according to a new report from BSA | The Software Alliance.
The 2013 BSA Global Cloud Computing Scorecard — the first report ever to track changes in the global policy landscape for cloud computing — finds that while many of the world's biggest IT markets have stalled or slid backwards, others are embracing laws and regulations conducive to cloud innovation. The Scorecard also finds that policy fragmentation persists, as some countries, aiming to promote local cloud markets, adopt laws and regulations that inhibit cross-border data flows or skew international competition.
"We're seeing patchy progress in the policy landscape for cloud computing," said BSA President and CEO Robert Holleyman. "Mismatched privacy and security rules are making it hard for data to flow across borders. Too many countries are chopping off pieces of the cloud for themselves. This undercuts economies of scale that can benefit everyone. To have a cohesive global marketplace, we need more bridges and fewer barriers."The new 2013 BSA Cloud Scorecard builds on an inaugural edition of the report released last year. The biggest mover in the rankings is Singapore, which vaulted to fifth from 10 th place a year ago by adopting a new privacy law that builds user trust while also promoting business innovation. The 2013 study finds that Japan continues to lead the global rankings with a comprehensive suite of laws supporting digital commerce. Australia remains in second place, and the US has edged into third, pushing Germany down to fourth. The study finds that policy improvements in many of the world's biggest IT markets have stalled. Notably, all six European Union countries covered in the study have lost ground in the rankings. Others are effectively unplugging themselves from the global market — with especially counterproductive policies in Korea, Indonesia and Vietnam. The study evaluates countries in seven policy areas critical to the market for cloud computing services — data privacy, cybersecurity, cybercrime, intellectual property, technology interoperability and legal harmonization, free trade, and ICT infrastructure.

So, after all this time, I finally broke down and ordered this on www.allcosmeticswholesale.com. Well, I have to say, what a great purchase! This powder, like pretty much everybody said, makes my skin look flawless! What a perfect canvas to set my makeup to! I didn't test this in any MAC store, either, as far as shade is concerned (I'm an NW43). I just did a lot of researching on this site as well as on youtube and realized that Medium Deep was the shade for me and I was right! Mind you, I DO own the dupe for this, which is Revlon Mineralize Finishing Powder in Suntan Matte. This has more shimmer to it but they don't make me look like a disco ball! In fact, these two products truly ARE identical. The MAC is smoother, though. It being so powdery though, does tend to fly up and go all over the place. I'm so NOT disappointed in either purchases and am thrilled I own both of them. Owning the MAC MSF will now put my lemming to rest - LOL!!
*UPDATE* - Just received my first compliment on how flawless my face looks! The woman wanted to know what was I using and of course I had to brag about the MAC Mineralize Skinfinish! I hope MAC never stops making this - it's absolutely amazing!

For Reference: MAC NC 45
I LOVE THIS PRODUCT. This was one of the first products I purchased from MAC. I have MSF in Medium Deep and Dark and they are both great. The application is really smooth. There is a bit of fine shimmer, but nothing overpowering. For a natural look, I apply concealer where needed and MSF and it is awesome. I highly recommend.
Ref: YSL anti-cernes #4, MAC Mineralize Satinfinish & Mineralize Foundation NC 44.
Formula: Really great product, worthy of HG status. Smooth, non-drying and works on my eczema acne prone skin which is a hard task. Feels light. I use for work everyday with just concealer where needed, then this over the top. Setting power is fine for a few hours. Cant imagine a better product. I do love the finish when I am just wearing this and concealer and has nice healthy dew. But when wearing over Satinfinish, feels too much glow going on. Wish I could find a powder as non-drying but a bit more matte to have in collection too.
Colour: Tricky range. This does work on parts of face, but noticably a bit too orange on nose and skin under cheeks to jawbone. I think would suit a NC45 pretty well. I am going to try Medium Dark which seems to be used by NC 42-44 people. It may be too light so will try mixing the two I guess. I hate mixing but the formula is great so worth it.
Price: For the product worth it, although sucks if the colour is not a perfect match for you.
Packaging: I hadnt thought about before reading other posts but it is true that if this was more portable I would definitely take to work and do a touch up at lunchtime or after work if going out. However, I like how much product is in the pan.
Defo re-purchase, if I can get right colour. Fingers crossed for Medium Dark!

Gives a nice, natural finish over foundation but can also be worn alone for sheer coverage. Not cakey at all. Have medium deep for the summer and planning to get medium dark for winter. It's a must have item! Worth my $27...
This is a great pressed powder that matches my skin tone well. I'm fairly dark (indian) skinned with yellow/orange undetones and this is the best shade matched to my fluctuating skin tone. In the summer time I can get pretty chocolately dark and in the winter I lighten up to a caramel-brown shade and this is great to use all year round for me. I like the coverage as well since it starts out light/medium and you can build it from there. This powder sets my MAC face & body foundation and my mineralize skinfinish natural in NC43 nicely.
I find that my face does get a tad oily after a day's wear but it's nothing too serious that some blotting papers can't fix.

Formulated with 77 different minerals, this lightweight powder imparts a natural/satin finish to the skin. Light-Light-medium coverage.
People need to STOP HATING on this powder. It has a natural SATIN finish. If you have oily skin and you hate it, DUH. You didn't ask the right questions when you were shopping. It lives up to all of its key claims and features- you just walked in and picked one without discussing the finish.
The packaging is cute and functional and professional, but I've broken this powder in one 3-foot drop from my counter to my carpeted floor. Be careful with these powders.

natural look. good bronzer and worth the price
Best product out there to apply over foundation! Gives the glowly, amazing superstar look.
This is my HG pressed powder. I have worn this almost exclusively for about a year & a half. This shade sets NC45-50 & NW43-47 beautifully. It's also lovely as a contour for fairer shades. I have normal skin & live for a satin/glowy finish. A GREAT investment!
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I have oily skin but very rarely have any breakouts (1 or 2 pimples a year). I bought this powder to wear over my MAC select cover-up concealer to even my skintone even more and keep any oil at bay. After 2 weeks of wearing this powder, the entire right side of my face is covered in acne and I found that there is much more redness in my skin. Will be returning immediately.

Dáil Éireann - Volume 387 - 14 February, 1989
Adjournment Debate. - Dún Laoghaire Marina Proposal.
Mr. Andrews Mr. Andrews
[233] Mr. Andrews: I am very grateful to you, Sir, for your courtesy in allowing me to raise this matter. I realise that there are many demands to raise matters on the Adjournment and you have to take each request on its merit. Therefore, it is all the more appreciated.
My main concern in raising this issue is that having discussed it both publicly and privately in the past number of months, Dún Laoghaire may lose the prospects of a marina or marinas. The danger as I see it is that people who will be making proposals will be talked out of Dún Laoghaire and will consider elsewhere. I understand that in areas like Skerries, Malahide and Greystones people are very anxious, and quite properly so, to seek to improve the seafront and seashore environment and, for that reason, they would see Dún Laoghaire's lost opportunity as their gain. As I have said, I do not begrudge these areas marinas; quite the contrary. Nor do I begrudge them any type of development that would better their communities. What I am trying to do is to establish once and for all Dún Laoghaire's right to a marina, arising from the report of the planning review group. I am asking the Minister and his very able deputy, the Minister of State, to implement the recommendations of the report of that review group as a matter of some urgency.
One of the prerequisites to the setting up of a marina is the setting up of a harbour authority. The review group envisages a harbour authority as comprising a chairman and six people who know what they are talking about in the context of marina and harbour development; no more and no less. I ask the Minister urgently to set up that authority, tomorrow if possible. The authority would then see it as their function to implement the main recommendations of [234] the report. The review group who produced this report was chaired by Professor Dermot McAleese, Professor of Political Economy at Trinity College, Dublin. I would like to congratulate him and his colleagues for the excellent report, the manner in which they reported so quickly and the very succinct, pithy and direct recommendations set out in it. This group of people met with many people and considered many proposals and submissions. Seventy-four submissions were made to them by individuals, including myself. In addition, they met people with proposals for marinas.
It is these organisations that I am concerned about. If Dún Laoghaire and the groups in Dún Laoghaire who are against the development of a marina or marinas continue to put pressure on organisations of this nature they will go elsewhere and that is the danger. I see the development of a marina in Dún Laoghaire, in the Coal Quay harbour in the first instance, the inner quay harbour, the first phase development proposed by Marina Developments (Ireland) Ltd., as the key element to the development of Dún Laoghaire. At present people are complaining about the lack of activity in the centre of Dún Laoghaire. If the marina is built in the first instance on the Coal Quay harbour the ripple effect for the building of other marinas will be immediate. The general area of the seafront, the derelict pavilion site opposite the Town Hall, the Salthill Hotel site and the Dún Laoghaire market site are all right for development. If the proposals for a structured and ordered development of the marinas in Dún Laoghaire are taken on board then these other developments will automatically fall into place to the inestimable advantage of the community in Dún Laoghaire.
There are about 7,000 unemployed people in Dún Laoghaire at present. When I knock on the doors at the next general election, in Sallynoggin, Ballybrack, the heart of Dún Laoghaire, Loughlinstown and Shankhill, I will be [235] asked why I did not support developments in Dún Laoghaire. I will be told that by not doing so I am not helping to create work for our young people who have to emigrate.
This is a marvellous opportunity to begin the ordered and proper development of Dún Laoghaire and the offer of a number of organisations should be accepted in relation to the development of marinas in Dún Laoghaire. I am talking about proposals from Marina Developments (Ireland) Ltd., a private organisation which I would imagine will be looking for regional funding, and the most recent proposal by Carlisle Leisure Development, a proposal for the development of the Carlisle pier area of Dún Laoghaire harbour, prepared by the National Yacht Club and the Royal St. George Yacht Club. That is a wonderful proposal. If the Government would make an immediate decision in relation to the harbour authority and let them get on with the proper and structured development of Dún Laoghaire harbour it would be of great advantage to the community there.
My concern is that Dún Laoghaire will lose these development offers. If you go to any part of England or the Continent and look at the seafronts they are packed with marinas, with consequent huge economic advantages to these areas. I am not talking simply about a marina park for 300 boats. There are huge spin-offs such as chandlers, boat builders, ship suppliers and all sorts of additional ancillary matters which lend themselves to being part of a marina.
Dún Laoghaire must be one of the finest harbours in Europe, if not in the world. It certainly is one of the most under-developed harbours and for that reason I would like to see its proper development. As far as many people are concerned, it is a place to pass through on the way to somewhere else and that is unfortunate because Dún Laoghaire is quite a beautiful place and could be made [236] more beautiful in an ordered and structured fashion. There is a first-class hotel there, the Royal Marine Hotel which was recently renovated and which is a great credit to the people who carried out the work. There is the Fitzpatrick hotel and the Court Hotel in Killiney, marvellous and very well used hotels. There are also guesthouses and so on. If Dún Laoghaire harbour was developed the benefits and advantages to those guesthouses and hotels would be immense.
If the marina or marinas are developed all the existing facilities can be retained. The yacht clubs will remain relatively untouched. The Motor Yacht Club have a very genuine and legitimate concern about the inner harbour, or Coal Quay development, which they consider might affect them. I understand from the developers that they would have access to their club and to a great extent they would remain untouched by whatever developments would be considered. Of course, the needs and desires of the local people would have to be taken into account. It is unbelievable to hear people talking about the deprivations they will suffer in the context of bird watching or of walking, of being in some way deprived of these amenities because a marina or marinas will be set up in Dún Laoghaire. The reality of the proposals I have outlined is that the east pier and the west pier will remain untouched and will continue to be used as pedestrian ways. Of course, they should remain untouched. At present the west pier is covered by grass, it is underutilised and unwalked on to a great degree. The east pier is probably the most walked on pier in the country. What facilities are available in the harbour which is underutilised? What are the facilities for these walkers on both piers? None, there is not even a restaurant on the seafront available to the gnáth duine who goes out there on a Saturday or Sunday to walk during these fine winter mornings and afternoons. Apart from a person selling ice cream at the end of the east pier there is no facility [237] available there to the thousands of people using that pier. This is nothing short of scandalous. There is a disgraceful lack of facilities in the area of the departure of the boat to England.
These are some of the reasons I believe a marina will attract people into the area. As a spin-off there will be additional facilities for the ordinary person for whom so much concern has been expressed in the past number of months. I am as concerned for those people as anybody else but I have an obligation and a duty to judge what I consider to be what is right for Dún Laoghaire in its future economic development. I am entitled — and I do not think this is being denied me — to the right to express my views as to how Dún Laoghaire should develop. It should be developed by taking this report, not in any piecemeal fashion because the piecemeal development of Dún Laoghaire harbour would be a disaster, but seriatim, and applied accordingly. It is a marvellous report. It represents effectively the philosophy for the future development of Dún Laoghaire. Everybody has had a say. We know exactly what people think and now the time has come to judge the merits and get all these thoughts together, shake them about, and come up with a decision. I believe an immediate decision is essential for this development. If we do not proceed with this development as a matter of urgency, we will wave goodbye to what is on offer.
The Minister for Finance announced recently that there was to be £23.5 million from the Regional Fund for Ireland, including a figure of £1.78 million for a marina in Kilrush, County Clare. Good luck to Kilrush. I hope they have a marvellous marina and that it is of great benefit to the people there. At the time the Kilrush marina proposal was announced, the Dún Laoghaire proposal was announced also and we are still talking about it while the people of Kilrush are getting on with it. That sort of regional aid is also available for Dún [238] Laoghaire because, as we know regional aid applies to the whole of Ireland and not just to any particular corner of it. The advantages of having this sort of development are immense.
A proposal was made by Dún Laoghaire Corporation in 1983 to include the infill of the "gut" on the outside of the west pier. That was a very good proposal, one that should be viewed and considered in the overall development of the harbour and its marina or marines. I say marina or marinas because I would hope to see more than one marina, perhaps more than two, three marinas, may be. These should be developed taking account of the report of the planning review group on the one hand, the type of development proposed by Marina Developments (Ireland) Limited and on the other hand the type of development proposed by the Carlisle Leisure Development group, the two yacht clubs as I have already mentioned. There were other proposals by Dún Laoghaire Corporation. The Power Corporation group in association with Brent Walker suggested the infill of 100 to 150 acres of the 250 acre harbour. I think that was pie in the sky and I would not be in favour of it. At the same time a proposal of that nature — and it was a proposal to be funded by £100 million — should be looked at and the proposer given the courtesy of at least having the idea examined. Personally, I would be against it the suggestion of the group.
Dún Laoghaire Harbour is one of the prime and most important amenities in this State. We must recognise Dún Laoghaire as a port of national significance.
There was a report by McCarthy and Partners on behalf of the joint working party, the working party of the four yacht clubs. That report considered marinas for the middle harbour at the east pier, Carlisle pier area, the west bight area, the east bight, the old harbour and inner harbour and again that is worthy of consideration. I have already mentioned the Marina Developments (Ireland) Limited [239] proposal for the Coal Quay or old quay or inner city or whatever one wishes to call it. We also have the Carlisle leisure development to which I have also referred. There has also been an input from Sealink Car Ferries. The Dún Laoghaire Borough Council have made their views known. The report of the planning review group was made known to the Minister in November or December of last year.
We have been speaking in the Dún Laoghaire area about the question of a unified car ferry terminal. I see no reason why a unified car ferry terminal could not be seen side by side with the marina development. I can see all these interests being attended to in whatever marina development starts first. Sail training would go on apace, public access and amenities would be uninterrupted, the sacred east and west piers would continue.
There is some suggestion that if the area on the "gut" side of the west pier were developed, in some way the west pier might have to be breached. If it was to be breached it would be done in the best interests of Dun Laoghaire harbour. That is why I would ask the Minister to urge his colleagues in Government to implement the proposals of the report of the planning review group.
Minister of State at the Department of the Marine (Mr. P. Gallagher) Pat "the Cope" Gallagher
Minister of State at the Department of the Marine (Mr. P. Gallagher): Tá áthas orm an deis seo a fháil freagra a thabhairt don Teachta David Andrews maidir le forbairt Dhún Laoghaire.
In 1987, a company called Marina Developments Ireland Limited — MDIL — was formed with a view to establishing marina facilities at Dún Laoghaire using private funds. The MDIL submitted a proposal to the Department of the Marine and the Office of Public Works for a two phase project which would provide marina facilities in the inner harbour and in the old harbour.
On the 8 April 1988, the Government [240] announced that approval had been granted to MDIL to proceed with their plans for the marina. From the time that the details of MDIL's proposals became public, concern was expressed about the development over such issues as access to the harbour, environmental considerations, traffic and car parking facilities and the impact of the development on the mooring facilities already available in the harbour. Particular concern was expressed about the lack of information available to the public regarding the proposed development.
On 27 April 1988 at a one day conference organised by Dún Laoghaire Borough Council to discuss the future development of Dún Laoghaire Harbour, the Minister for the Marine announced the establishment of a planning review group to examine overall harbour policy. On 23 June 1988, the planning review group, comprising two officials from the Department of the Marine, two from the Office of Public Works and two from Dún Laoghaire Corporation under the chairmanship of Professor Dermot McAleese of Trinity College, was formerly appointed.
I have listened to Deputy Andrews, but prior to his contribution tonight, I was well aware of his concern and his commitment to the development of Dún Laoghaire Harbour. It is gratifying to hear him reaffirm this, if that is at all necessary. I appreciate his concern that this development should take place and that it be carried out in an orderly manner, as he has said, and that the views and concerns of all should be taken into account. I expect that Deputy Andrews will fully acknowledge that every effort was made to ensure that the views and concerns of the people of Dún Laoghaire were taken into account by the planning review group. I appreciate his kind comments on the planning review group under the chairmanship of Professor McAleese. There is no intention of carrying out any development, whatever the Government may decide, in a piecemeal [241] fashion. The development must be planned and not take place on an ad hoc basis. I believe that anything other than a planned development would prove unsuccessful.
The terms of reference of the planning review group require the group to consult with the Harbour liaison committee, a committee originally set up under the auspices of the Minister of State at the Department of Finance and reconstitued for this purpose. The committee met for the first time on 4 August 1988 and made a submission to the planning review group on 9 September 1988. This submission, which is reproduced in full as an appendix to the planning review group report, was taken into account by the group in their conclusions. The review group report published on 8 December 1988 was welcomed by the Minister for the Marine. He considered it a comprehensive, considered and professional blueprint for Dún Laoghaire Harbour. The group's recommendations constitute an outline management plan for Dún Laoghaire Harbour and Deputy Andrews has referred to this.
The planning review group recommend that the management and development of the harbour should be entrusted to an authority consisting of a chairman and six ordinary members to be appointed by the Minister for the Marine on the basis of their competence to contribute to the running of the harbour. All the recommendations have been taken into consideration. There was general agreement that some sort of harbour development is necessary and indeed desirable. However the planning review group felt that any new development in the harbour should respect its essential characteristics and the high quality of the existing environment.
There is a strong case for maintaining the spread of activities that have traditionally been carried on in the harbour. The planning review group's report considers the commercial use of the harbour, [242] the future development of the ferry terminal, the use of the harbour for leisure and amenity purposes and marina development in the harbour. The report concluded that the ferry teminal plays a key role in formulating a plan for the harbour.
The planning review group examined possible options for the future of the terminal. They felt that Dún Laoghaire is uniquely placed for marina related leisure activities. However, the present system of swinging moorings in the harbour has a number of serious drawbacks. A marina would boost the local economy of the area and for these reasons the planning review group favoured the principle of marina development in Dún Laoghaire and set down criteria for such development. They evaluated possible marina locations within the harbour. The group considered the proposals from MDIL for the provision of a marina at Dún Laoghaire and examined the objections raised to the development. They concluded that the balance of public good lies with allowing the first phase of the MDIL project to go ahead, subject to certain safeguards.
The development of the area known as the "gut" — and referred to by Deputy Andrews — west of the West Pier is discussed in the report. A comprehensive plan for the harbour and all is facets must include provision for this area. Its importance derives from its role in providing potential development land in the harbour area. The group recommend, inter alia, that land is needed to accommodate marina related commercial and leisure development, particularly support services for marine development within the harbour. Given the scarcity of land within the harbour, the obvious location is on existing and now reclaimed land behind the West Pier.
The proposed construction of a marina will certainly lead to job creation. Wherever marinas are built, jobs are created in its construction and, of course, there are long-term benefits as a result of a [243] marina along our coast as it provides full-time and part-time employment. The Deputy has referred to the importance of the ancillary industries which are linked to any marina development. We would be most anxious that in any development, jobs would be created as a result. There is a knock-on effect and indirect benefits can be derived from a marina development. I concur totally with Deputy Andrews' comments on the importance of a marina to Dún Laoghaire.
The planning review group's report considers the options for the future management of the harbour and sets down criteria for the management of it. As I have stated earlier, the recommendation is that there should be a harbour authority. I fully appreciate Deputy Andrews concern that Dún Laoghaire may lose the prospect of the development of a marina and that if there is considerable talk we may talk ourselves out of the development. I assure the Deputy that this will not happen. The discussion will not go on for very much longer. The Government and the Minister for the Marine will not waste time reaching a decision.
[244] The planning review group's report has been considered by the Minister for the Marine and also examined by officials from the Department of the Marine. As a result, the Minister has already formulated proposals which will shortly be put to Government. The Minister confirmed this in the House some few days ago in answer to a parliamentary question. I am sure the Deputy will appreciate that it would be inappropriate for me to make any announcement in advance of the Government's consideration of the proposals.
Let me repeat that the Minister will not be making an announcement until the Government have had time to consider the proposals. I will bring to the attention of the Minister the concerns expressed in the House by Deputy Andrews. I can assure him that the Government have not wasted any time over the past 12 months, and will not waste any time over the next few weeks, in reaching a decision on the future development of the harbour.
The Dáil adjourned at 11 p.m. until 10.30 a.m. on Wednesday, 15 February 1989.

It has been 50 years since Martin Luther King, Jr.'s famous march on Washington. Saturday night Syracuse University continued its tradition of keeping Dr. King's memory alive. Our Candace Hopkins has the inspirational story.
SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Martin Luther King, Jr.'s words and message of equality filled the Carrier Dome.
"In our collective struggle for freedom, and for justice and for equality for all, requires men and women with mental sharpness, and courage and clarity, to make this nation what it ought to be," said Keynote Speaker and NAACP Board Chairman Roslyn Brock.
Brock says although progress has been made in the past 50 years, the nation still has a long way to go.
"We find ourselves now and our society in a backdrop of fiscal cliff conversations, double digit unemployment for African Americans and minority communities, and a devastating, persistent poverty in those communities, and the issues still need to be addressed," said Brock.
That's what Saturday's theme was all about, community outreach. And several people were honored for their work with the Unsung Hero Award, including Fayetteville Middle Schooler Adena Rochelson. She started collecting toiletries for her local food bank, after discovering the facility rarely had enough supplies to go around.
"I was first inspired just by seeing that empty self and knowing that people would go home and they wouldn't be able to brush their teeth or wash their face or wash their hair and I was going to be able to," said Rochelson.
In the past two years she has donated nearly seven thousand items, and hopes her work will encourage others to help out. "Everyone has something that calls to them, and once you find that you will be really inspired by what you found."
Organizers say finding that inspiration and turning it into something positive is what keeps Doctor King's spirit alive. This is the 28th year of the celebration. It is one of the largest M.L.K. remembrance ceremonies in the nation.

It's Good to Hold Baby!
Find a Conversation
|Fri, 04-19-2013 - 12:12pm
A new study from Japan confirms what many mothers may know instinctively: Picking up and carrying a fussy baby usually calms down and relaxes the child, making the move a good one for both moms and infants.
When mothers in the study carried their babies while walking around, the infants became noticeably more relaxed and stopped crying and squirming. The babies' rapidly beating hearts also slowed down, evidence that the children were feeling calmer.
"Infants become calm and relaxed when they are carried by their mother," said study researcher Dr. Kumi Kuroda, who investigates social behavior at the RIKEN Brain Science Institute in Saitama, Japan. The study observed strikingly similar responses in mouse babies.
I'm pretty sure we all knew this already! Do you do any babywearing at your house to keep baby close to you all the time?

At St. Stephen we all believe that God wants us to come as we are and experience the joy and hope of gathering together in Jesus' name.
The Narrative Lectionary Our worship life this year is based on the narrative lectionary. Developed in conjunction with Luther Seminary, it is a set of readings for Christian worship which moves through the overarching biblical story in a ninth-month period. Respecting the traditional Christian church year with seasons of Advent, Christmas, Lent, Easter, and Pentecost; the narrative lectionary also respects the rhythms of the school year or program year.
· In the fall of each year, we move rapidly through the Old Testament story -- beginning in Genesis around the start of September and culminating with the promise of the Messiah during December (Advent).
· In the winter of each year, the narrative lectionary moves in order through one Gospel -- tracing the story of Jesus in canonical order from birth, through ministry, passion, and culminating with the story of the resurrection at Easter. This year that will be John.
· In the spring of each year, the narrative lectionary engages part of the story of the early church, as told in Acts and other New Testament writings.

They even made a special dairy free soya yoghurt birthday cake for my girlfriend's birthday. They really make an effort to make sure you have a good time and they even did some party poppers outside when we left the restaurant! It's a great place with really good food and a perfect atmosphere! I'm definitely going more often.

In the lead-up to the Baghdad talks on Iran's nuclear program, the United States has expressed support for Israel and opposition to a nuclear weapons-capable Iran.
On Monday, May 21, the Senate unanimously passed the Iran Sanctions, Accountability and Human Rights Act of 2012 (S. 2101). The legislation sanctions the officials, agents and affiliates of the Iranian Revolution Guard. It will also require companies that trade on the U.S. Stock Exchange to divulge any Iran-related business to the Securities and Exchange Commission, and expand existing penalties on energy and uranium mining ventures with Tehran. The House of Representatives passed a similar bill in December (H.R. 1905) and now both bills will go to a conference committee for reconciliation.
On May 17, the House passed a resolution (401-11) on the importance of preventing the Government of Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons capability. House Resolution 568—introduced jointly by the House Foreign Affairs Chair Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL) and Ranking Member Howard Berman (D-CA)—urged continued and increasing economic and diplomatic pressure on Iran and rejected any policy that would rely on efforts to contain a nuclear weapons-capable Iran. A similar resolution (S. Res. 380) has been referred to the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations.
Also on May 17, the State Department announced that the U.S. would send an additional $70 million to Israel to enhance Iron Dome—Israel's rocket defense system which has intercepted over 90 missiles fired from Gaza this year. The House Armed Services Committee also authorized $680 million for Iron Dome in the defense appropriations legislation currently moving through Congress. The United States provided Israel with $205 million in 2011 to help fund the Iron Dome system.
On May 9, the House passed the United States-Israel Enhanced Security Cooperation Act of 2012 (H.R. 4133) in vote of 411-2. The legislation reinforces the U.S.'s commitment to support Israel's legitimacy and right to security, including strong relations between the two countries in intelligence, military training and defense. Similar legislation (S. 2165) has been referred to the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations.
Despite some initial optimism from the international community, the Baghdad talks have so far proven unsuccessful—with Iran continuing to insist that its nuclear program is peaceful, while its top general pledges the "full annihilation of the Zionist regime of Israel to the end."
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recently emphasize that "nothing would be better than to see this issue resolved diplomatically. But I have seen no evidence that Iran is serious about stopping its nuclear weapons program. It looks as though they see these talks as another opportunity to deceive and delay just like North Korea did for years."
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and P5+1 (United States, Russia, China, United Kingdom, France, and Germany) introduced a proposal that called for Iran to stop uranium enrichment to 20 percent and to allow IAEA inspectors access to nuclear facilities. However, Iran countered that it will not open nuclear sites to inspectors or cease uranium enrichment unless the international community scales back sanctions. It has been reported that a new IAEA report, expected out on Friday, will reveal that Iran has added 350 new centrifuges to its nuclear sites.
Hadassah Programming will continue to monitor the situation and will send additional updates as more information becomes available.

More than 840,000 veterans call Virginia home and more than 20 million reside in the United States. They have served on battlefields across the globe, been stationed at bases both at home and abroad, and spent months, and even years, away from loved ones. They have sacrificed greatly to defend the freedoms you and I enjoy each day. In turn, it is our duty to ensure that they have access to the care needed when their military service is over.
By Congressman Robert Hurt
There is a fallacy that I hear repeated without fail every year during budget time. Actually, it isn't really a fallacy. It's more of a half-truth. Every year at least one person, who is speaking before the supervisors urging them to raise taxes, will say that the tax rate was higher at some point in the past decade.
These speakers are correct. It was 65 cents in 2006 and 73 cents in 2002.
It speaks volumes when one of the most vocal supporters of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, says it will "destroy the foundation of the 40 hour work week that is the backbone of the American middle class" if not fixed. But that is what James Hoffa, president of the Teamsters union, made clear last year in a letter to Democratic leadership in Congress.
Have you been waiting – because of "Obamacare" - for the United States to fall into the sea? For the mountains to collapse onto the flat-lands and smother us all?
Or maybe you expected Marx and Lenin to rise from their graves, and cast us all into some Godless, communistic bondage?
Nothing has probably defined the baby boomer generation in America more than the turbulent, inspiring, dangerous, and ultimately successful civil rights movement of the 1950s and '60s.
In 1954, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled, in Brown v. Board of Education, that segregated schools were unconstitutional, that it was a violation of the rights of black children to be forced, only because of race, to attend schools that were inferior to those of whites.
Talk about audacious!
Or, perhaps "clueless" is the better descriptor.
Jim Moran, a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, recently complained that he and his colleagues are underpaid.
The Virginia Democrat, whose 8th district abuts Washington, D.C., made his gripe in a recent interview with CQ Roll Call.
Each year, families across Virginia set a household budget. Businesses in the Commonwealth, both large and small, do the same. This week, the House of Representatives acted on a budget plan for Fiscal Year 2015, which begins on October 1, 2014. In addition to laying out a blueprint for federal spending, the budget process is also an opportunity to strengthen programs like Medicare and Social Security and expand pro-growth economic reforms like tax reform, domestic energy production, and regulatory reform.
