Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement HP's consolidated condensed financial statements presented
on a GAAP basis, HP provides non-GAAP operating profit, non-GAAP
operating margin, non-GAAP net earnings, non-GAAP diluted earnings per
share and gross cash. HP also provides forecasts of non-GAAP diluted
earnings per share. These non-GAAP financial measures are not in
accordance with, or an alternative for, generally accepted accounting
principles in
Use and Economic Substance of Non-GAAP Financial Measures Used by HP
Non-GAAP operating profit and non-GAAP operating margin are defined to exclude the effects of any restructuring charges, charges relating to the amortization of purchased intangible assets, acquisition-related charges and in-process research and development charges recorded during the relevant period. Non-GAAP net earnings and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share consist of net earnings or diluted net earnings per share excluding those same charges. In addition, non-GAAP net earnings and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share are adjusted by the amount of additional taxes or tax benefit associated with each non-GAAP item. HP's management uses these non-GAAP financial measures for purposes of evaluating HP's historical and prospective financial performance, as well as HP's performance relative to its competitors. HP's management also uses these non-GAAP measures to further its own understanding of HP's segment operating performance. HP believes that excluding those items mentioned above from these non-GAAP financial measures allows HP management to better understand HP's consolidated financial performance in relationship to the operating results of HP's segments, as management does not believe that the excluded items are reflective of ongoing operating results. More specifically, HP's management excludes each of those items mentioned above for the following reasons:
Gross cash is a non-GAAP measure that is defined as cash and cash equivalents plus short-term investments and certain long-term investments that may be liquidated within 90 days pursuant to the terms of existing put options or similar rights. HP's management uses gross cash for the purpose of determining the amount of cash available for investment in HP's businesses, funding strategic acquisitions, repurchasing stock and other purposes. HP's management also uses gross cash for the purposes of evaluating HP's historical and prospective liquidity, as well as to further its own understanding of HP's segment operating results. Because gross cash includes liquid assets that are not included in GAAP cash and cash equivalents, HP believes that gross cash provides a more accurate and complete assessment of HP's liquidity and segment operating results.
Material Limitations Associated with Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
These non-GAAP financial measures may have limitations as analytical tools, and these measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of HP's results as reported under GAAP. Some of the limitations in relying on these non-GAAP financial measures are:
Compensation for Limitations Associated with Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
HP compensates for the limitations on its use of non-GAAP operating profit, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net earnings, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share and gross cash by relying primarily on its GAAP results and using non-GAAP financial measures only supplementally. HP also provides robust and detailed reconciliations of each non-GAAP financial measure to its most directly comparable GAAP measure within this press release and in other written materials that include these non-GAAP financial measures, and HP encourages investors to review carefully those reconciliations.
Usefulness of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to Investors
HP believes that providing non-GAAP operating profit, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net earnings, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share and gross cash to investors in addition to the related GAAP measures provides investors with greater transparency to the information used by HP's management in its financial and operational decision-making and allows investors to see HP's results "through the eyes" of management. HP further believes that providing this information better enables HP's investors to understand HP's operating performance and to evaluate the efficacy of the methodology and information used by management to evaluate and measure such performance. Disclosure of these non-GAAP financial measures also facilitates comparisons of HP's operating performance with the performance of other companies in HP's industry that supplement their GAAP results with non-GAAP financial measures that are calculated in a similar manner.

Plateau: a great natural wine bar in Brighton
"I look every week at your blog to see if it has been updated" said Thierry Pluquet mournfully. "It never is. "
How could I not respond to such a heartfelt rebuke? You always reckon it doesn't matter that much if you let a blog slip so it's a bit chastening when you find that readers actually mind. Well, one of them anyway ....
Anyway Thierry's restaurant, Plateau which he runs with his business partner Vincent LeBon* is a good enough reason to update it.
It's a fair size place in Brighton's Lanes - slightly more than a wine bar, not quite a restaurant with the most incredible wine list.
I was there, in fact, not as a customer but giving a talk about the Discover the Origin campaign which promotes wines from Burgundy and the Douro, port, parma ham and parmesan cheese but as soon as I saw the list I knew I'd have to dip in.
My first glass was a wine I'd tried before - Le Blanc qui Tente (literally - the white which tempts) a cloudy, unfiltered sémillon from Stephanie Roussel of Chateau Lasolle in the Côtes du Marmandais which sells as a Vin de France.
It wasn't a typical semillon by any means with far more white peach and apple than pineapple fruit but absolutely luscious. They were slightly apprehensive about pouring it for me but needn't have been. Much more an amber than a red (see my classification, right)
The menu looked pretty tempting too so we decided to stay for supper mainly so I could order the canon of lamb with wild garlic purée, asparagus and feta a combination I thought would work really well with a light bright red.
It did with the Opi d'Aqui Les Fainéants - a blend of mourvèdre and grenache made by carbonic maceration. just outside Clermont L'Herault. A great find.
So there you are Thierry. It was worth complaining. The question is can I keep it up?
Plateau is at 1, Batholemews, Brighton BN1 1HG. Tel:01273 733085. They're also on Facebook
*Both nominated as Imbibe Restaurant Personality of the Year.

Two natural wines from Fattoria La Vialla
It's been interesting to watch the progression in winemaking at Fattoria La Vialla, an organic Tuscan estate I visited four years ago.
I went to cover the olive oil harvest but found they produced a wide range of products including pasta, pasta sauces and wine which even then was produced from biodynamically-run vineyards.
They've kept in touch and recently sent me two of their wines from the 2012 vintage which are very much in the natural wine mould. An intriguing unfiltered white called Barriccato Bianco - quite strong at 14% - which tastes of apples, pears and quince (AMBER) and a dark sparkling rosé called La Brumosa made from pinot nero which looks sweet but although fruity (it tastes rather deliciously of strawberries) is surprisingly dry. (GREEN) The white is more challenging - though I like it - but I'm sure most people would enjoy the rosé which would make an excellent party fizz or aperitif.
I like the Fattoria La Vialla set-up which is family-run. They don't sell through any intermediaries and produce hard-to-resist handwritten catalogues full of artisanal products. It's well worth getting on their mailing list to order the new season's olive oil as soon as it's released - and their delicious fresh vino novo if they're selling it.

Olivier Cousin must wait till March to learn his fate
|Photo by Jim Budd
If you remember Cousin was taken to court by the authorities for using the letters AOC - Anjou Olivier Cousin - on his labels, a gesture against the AOC (Appelation d'Origine Controlée) system.
It's amazing how anyone has the time and energy to pursue this matter - and the lack of judgement. As a figurehead for small artisanal winemakers Olivier has attracted a lot of support both inside and outside France.
To see in more detail what's been happening read Jim Budd's Jim's Loire - always doggedly on the case, Betrand Celce's excellent post on Wine Terroirs which has great pictures of the picnic which took place outside the courtroom and this reflective post from American natural wine importers Jenny & François.

Our last bottle of Stephane Cossais Le Volagré
"We said goodbye to an old friend last night. We drank our last bottle of the stellar chenin "Le Volagré" 2006. We had friends over for supper including Chris Wicks, late of Bell's Diner in Bristol (in my opinion the finest chef in Britain never to be awarded a Michelin star) and his wife Marti.
We started with a very good organic chenin (from Johan Reyneke) then went on to the Volagré, which I didn't introduce or big up in any way. It was just "another chenin, from the Loire this time". Chris, who as well as being a fine chef is one of the few who really gets wine, sipped and raised his eyebrows quizzically as if saying "my God what is this?"
I told them all what it was, and how poor Stéphane died of a heart attack in july 2009. A heart attack that many believe was brought on by the stress of relentless and unending persecution by the authorities throughout his oh-so-brief five vintages. He made "natural" wines you see!! Shock, horror . . .
Chris said simply that he found the wine in his glass to be the equal of the finest burgundies of Puligny or Chassagne and that at the first sip he was convinced he was drinking something from Annie Leflaive.
Apart from this being chenin and not chardonnay, he was also amazed to hear that this wine wasn't aged in a barrique, but only vinified in Stephane's beloved 400 litre foudres.
It's always satisfying when someone whose taste you respect and who has sampled so much good wine in their day agrees with your own long-held opinions. I first drank Le Volagré in 2006, and have ever since held it to be one of the very finest wines I have ever had the pleasure of drinking.
I defy all the natural wine-haters and the carping mean-spirited and closed-minded antis of this world to drink that wine blind and find it anything but exquisite.
Thank you Stephane. Thank you very, very much for your brief but utterly meteoric blaze across the natural wine sphere."
PS If any of you know where we can buy some more Le Volagré, I'm sure Trevor would be ecstatic! FB. And an update. We have now managed to get our hands on a case of the 2008!

Bordeaux top for pesticide use in Que Choisir survey
|Photo © lightpoet - Fotolia.com
It didn't seem to make any difference how much the wines, which ranged from 1.63€ to €15 in price, cost. The highest pesticide count was found in a 2010 Bordeaux costing 10.44€, in which 14 different chemicals were detected, followed by a 3.75€ 2012 Bordeaux which contained traces of 13 products, according to the report.
It also claims that wine producers in France account for 3.7 percent of farmland but 20 percent of the country's pesticide use (T reckons the figure is higher than that). France is the highest user of pesticides in the EU according to Que Choisir using 62,700 tonnes in 2011. Some of the chemicals identified were illegal, according to this extended report from Wine Spectator though none were present in dangerous concentrations.
For more detail on the report see Bloomberg's report here and, for French speakers, a report in Le Figaro here.

Terroir wine bar, San Francisco
Read any list of the world's best natural wine bars and Terroir in San Francisco is sure to be included so I was determined to take it in on my 2 day visit to the city the week before last.
To anyone used to natural wine bars in Paris it's comfortingly familiar - unsurprisingly as it's run by a Frenchman Luc Ertoran together with his Italian business partner Dagan Ministero - hence the scattering of Italian wines, mainly from Sicily, among the largely French list. There's even a sandfilled trough outside to stub out your Gauloise.
Rather over-optimistically I was hoping to see what California had to offer by way of natural wines. There were only two open that day - an Enfield Syrah from Hayes Vineyard in the Napa Valley - fresh, stalky and about as un-Napa a wine as you could imagine (GREEN TO AMBER) and the Trowbridge 'Four Horsemen' from Lake County, a somewhat tarry blend of Portuguese varieties that was less to my taste (the same rating)
It was at this point things went pear-shaped. The girl on my left, clearly unaccustomed to natural wine was saying "I keep tasting something that reminds me a bit of vinegar' so I pitched in without thinking, concerned that she thought her tastebuds in some way defective and said it was the wine not her and that natural wine took a bit of getting used to.
Unwise. From that moment on Luc clearly decided I needed to be taken down a peg and proceeded to pick an argument about everything from natural wine aficionados who suggested that this was somehow a better way to make wine to whether natural wines fell apart on opening. (They did he insisted, pouring me one to prove his point)
The fact that I detected redcurrant flavours in a Domaine de la Tournelle Uva Arbosiana provoked an even more forceful explosion about how ridiculous tasting terms were. "If you want to analyse do something worthwhile like be a philosopher" he snorted.
I asked if he treated all his customers that way. Not, if they were there to learn, it appeared. It was clearly my presumption in pronouncing on the subject that got his goat.
Eventually he calmed down and we got on OK. He poured a Julien Sunier Fleurie (delicious though Luc said I must simply say I liked it and not pass judgment on it) and a beautifully fragrant Domaine des Sanzay 2008 Les Poyeux from the same vineyard as Clos Rougeard. I presumably knew about Clos Rougeard? No I didn't. Much eye-rolling and 'call yourself an expert' expressions.
Maybe relenting (or deciding I was in need of further education) he said he thought I might be interested in a book called Terroir et L'Humanisme (another one to add to Trevor's reading list) and refused to take any money for the wines he'd poured. I left $20 anyway.
So - a great place to drink natural wines kept in top condition. Just go in the evening when they're busy and Luc doesn't have time on his hands to pick a fight. Oh and if you know anything about natural wine don't let on. And for goodness sake don't mention redcurrants*.
* Or - worse still - that a wine reminds you of candied violets in a salad as one customer had been rash enough to do. "I mean, come onnnnn, when have you ever tasted candied violets in a salad. . . . " See what I mean? Just watch it.
For a fuller report on Terroir read this recent post from Bertrand Celce of Wine Terroirs who obviously got off more lightly than I did.
Terroir is at 1116 Folsom St, San Francisco (on 7th) +1 415-558-9946

Le Rouge et Le Blanc natural wine magazine
It's been going for 30 years now and for all that time without advertising income of any sort.
Unusually for the French it recognises the existence of wine other than that produced in France - for example issue 108 had an in-depth piece on South Australia. The same issue had a typical wide range of material which ranged from a piece on the stellar Côtes Rôties of René Rostaing to a peasant winemaker in the Valais with one and a half hectares. Including full tasting notes on what he produces!
Of course its all about "natural wine" (whatever that means) and for Le Rouge et le Blanc that is a very broad church indeed. In their 100 plus issues they've covered just about everyone who's anyone in the natural wine world and made a fair few discoveries on the way.
The magazine is sold by subscription but is also often available at the classic natural wine bars dotted around France. If you subscribe (which costs 58€ in Europe or 70€ in the rest of the world) they'll send you a list of all the back numbers that are still available - which is most of them - and they also list the contents of each edition.
They're based in Paris - where else? - and they have a website www.lerougeetleblanc.com.
Try them - they are a mine of dispassionate non-commercially-influenced information.
* For those new to this blog Trevor (Vibert) is my husband, immensely knowledgeable about natural wine and will be posting whenever I can persuade him to!

The Media's attempt to blur the truth about Homophobic violence
The article has listed quotes from some prominent luminaries in Psychiatry and Counseling who have on the face of it backed the belief that is widely held by many in Jamaican society and echoed in the piece. Sadly many of the cases of gay violence be it gay on gay or otherwise involve prominent persons but have internal conflicts ending up in some ugly mess. That much is true however the vast majority of cases where persons are killed, evicted or forced to relocate from their homes, rape of lesbians and beatings go unnoticed by the mainstream media and are often sanctioned in a way by the silence thereof sliding them underground. If it weren't for blogs like this one and others who may know of such events or JFLAG to some extent, if and when they speak out on these issues then the public would be unaware but with the limited reach and readership of such outlets the issues still go unheard of thus fuelling the perceptions held ad expressed in the Observer article.
Do not get me wrong there are incidents of relationships of whatever sort go haywire namely transactional or situational sex negotiations that did not work out or just mere accusations of infidelity have led to awful outcomes but to simply say that no incidents of homophobic attacks and episodes have occurred is simply not true, frankly many quoted in the article simply want not to believe it so they can push their discriminatory lines of argument and justify their bigoted positions.
Just look at some of the incidents that have come to light recently not to mention those that have gone under the radar from folks like me who have our ears on the ground. One wonders when are we going to see the truth or is part of the problem class? as outlined before the cases that do get media attention are ones with prominent persons while the ordinary victims are overlooked as they have no stake being involved in this nasty lifestyle. There is alot that needs to be done with us a GLBT community and the general population by extension.
Tolerance please.
Spilling homosexual blood .... Observer Headline 29.11.09
BY HG HELPS Editor-at-Large firstname.lastname@example.com
THE ghastly gouging out of the eyes of self-confessed homosexual Claude Pryce by his enraged lover last week, brought into sharp focus the often spine-chilling, bloody end that awaits, when love goes wrong among gays.
Police investigations of gay deaths are replete with scenes in which the knife - the apparent weapon of choice - is plunged over and over into the body of the victim, leaving a trail of blood that frequently leads to prominent doors in affluent St Andrew.
Former trade ambassador Peter King, described by one member of the homosexual community as an "aggressive male hunter", was arguably the most high-profile Jamaican to have perished in that tragic style.
Police said they found several tapes containing explicit sexual scenes in King's house and the names of prominent Jamaicans apparently caught on tape, have been mentioned.
King, who at one time headed the trade board and led Jamaica's talks in countless international fora, was found lying face-up on his blood-soaked mattress at his St Andrew residence on March 20, 2006. His throat was slashed and his body had numerous stab wounds.
"In the gay community, there are people whose passion finds expression through bizarre sexual experiences and through the infliction of pain," said top psychiatrist Dr Aggrey Irons.
"And so it is not unusual to find acts of cutting off the genitals, gouging out of eyes, personal attacks that have to do with knives and other sharp objects, and so when there is a homosexual to homosexual crime of passion, it is going to seem to be of a bizarre and exaggerated nature," Irons told the Sunday Observer in an interview.
Popular radio talk show host and psychologist, Rev Dr Aaron 'Dear Pastor' Dumas, attested that the knife was the preferred weapon in times of dispute among gays, not only because the gun was harder to get, but death by the knife seemingly allowed for "a greater sense of satisfaction" by the killer.
"They use the knife frequently, because the knife, unlike the gun which is an easier way to kill, is more punishing. When they stab, they don't want the person to survive. Callous and cold-blooded murder seems to depict a lot of these guys," said Dumas, a Baptist pastor who counsels troubled gays.
Homosexual spin doctors in lobby groups such as Kingston-based Jamaica Forum for Lesbians All Sexuals & Gays (J-FLAG) and London-based Outrage! often attempt to deflect blame onto 'homophobic' Jamaicans, a ploy, critics suggest, to pressure the Government into relaxing anti-gay laws.
Homosexual groups claim that there have been over 50 acts of fatal violence against their members in the last five years, although they failed to say how many of those were committed in their own camp.
The common feature - the spilling of blood by the knife - and the gruesome nature of the killings, have been more difficult to explain.
. Claude Pryce's alleged lover gouged out his eyes in a fit of rage, police said, because he (Pryce) had "slept out" the night before.
. The body of well-known lecturer, Dr Cliff Lashley, 57, was found in a gully along Lady Musgrave Road in Kingston in February 1993. His head had been severed and his hands and legs chopped off and stuffed in a bag. Peter Rowe, identified in court as Lashley's young lover, was convicted of non-capital murder for the crime.
Vincent Tulloch, a well-known newspaperman, had over 40 stab wounds when police found his body at his Calabar Mews, St Andrew home in September 1994. The case remains unsolved, but police have not closed the files.
"We are still working on that case, and we are seeking someone who we are told was his lover," a senior investigator told this newspaper last week. Psychic Safa Asontuwa, popularly known as Safa, was brutally beaten and stabbed on June 25, 2002 in Seaview Gardens in Kingston's westend. His body was later cremated. Founder of the J-Flag, Brian Williamson, was stabbed to death on June 9, 2004 by a man from Jones Town who was later charged with his murder. Eyewitnesses stated that the man visited Williamson at his home regularly, until he slaughtered Williamson, following a lover's quarrel.
Psychiatrists, trying to get to the bottom of that homosexual mystery conclude that gay-on-gay violence often resembled that between heterosexuals.
"Homosexuals are no different than heterosexuals in terms of the distribution of other psychiatric disorders, especially personality disorders," said Dr Irons, who also counsels homosexuals.
"Homosexuality in and of itself is not considered a psychiatric disorder, but within the homosexual community there are certain persons with psychiatric disorders. Unfortunately, many of them have personality disorders attendant on their homosexuality and because homosexuals are so focused, perhaps even more so on the importance of attention and affection, especially from other men, they are renounced nationally and internationally for their jealousy. "When you add to that a paranoid element or an anti-social element, that multiplies the rage and jealousy and you see that expressed in their particular crime of passion," he said.
Dr Irons said that attacks by homosexuals on their own could rise to unthinkable levels of gory conduct.
"Stabbing is not specific to homosexual behaviour, it is a sort of tautological connection," said Irons. "But with each stab would come some kind of exclamation, some expression of hatred or disgust. This is physical, emotional and verbal. So with repeated stabbing, you would find bizarre amputations as well and even relocations.
"I have had to counsel patients who have been battered by their same sex lovers. I don't do it often, but I have had to do so and I treat all patients equally, regardless of whether or not they are homosexuals. If you are having a problem with a relationship or within the context of your life, then the appropriate treatment is offered to you," said Irons.
Dr Dumas argued that homosexuals were still in the minority and tended to be very protective.
"To leave one for the other is to play with one's life," he said. "I have counselled many homosexuals, both male and female. Some have told me that if they are out driving with their partners and one looks at another person, the partner is ready to attack. It is a big problem. Just like how a man will take care of his woman, homosexual lovers are like that too.
"Many of the guys who have been fortunate to have good education will tell you that they are afraid to leave the homosexual community because of the reprisals. Some want to start their own families, but fear that if they do that, they could be in danger," Dr Dumas added.
Roman Catholic deacon and counsellor Peter Espeut, while acknowledging that violent homosexual behaviour was outrageous, argued that homosexual conduct was a reflection of the wider society and no different from heterosexual violence occurring here.
"Not only gay lovers are violent, but heterosexual ones too. They chop up and poison each other like the gays do," he said.
"I don't know if it is true that homosexuals are more violent than heterosexuals. We in Jamaica seem to have a way of turning to violence to resolve certain things and we need to ask ourselves why this is so, because the same thing does not happen in countries like the Cayman Islands, St Vincent and Dominica."CONTINUE HERE
Why imprison for sexual preference? (Observer Letter)
This is in response to the November 26 letter "Perverted" in the Observer. Like the writer, I find homosexual practices repulsive and as such would not knowingly keep a gay man as a friend. However, let's look at the bigger picture. Consenting adults indulging in homosexual acts behind closed doors is not Jamaica's biggest problem.
What I find more disturbing is the increasing incidence of sexual abuse against our minors - girls and boys. Fathers and stepfathers are molesting their daughters and sons in some cases. It's a known fact that in some garrison areas dons have their way with whichever girls they choose. My heart goes out to these defenceless children who are robbed of their innocence. It puzzles me that as a society we are so caught up in our stance against homosexuals and yet very little is said or done to combat sexual abuse of our minors.
Be honest with me, don't you think that this issue deserves more attention than homosexuality? The dancehall DJs flog this homosexual argument to death but very rarely do I ever hear any of them "licking out" against sexual abuse. When are we ever going to learn? Just so you know, there is not a law against homosexuality as such in Jamaica. The law that you are referring to is against buggery. Buggery is defined as anal sex, whether between homosexual or heterosexual couples. So you think a man should be sent to prison for having anal sex with his wife? Besides, I still think it ridiculous for someone to be sent to prison for their sexual preference. Think on these things.

Uganda's anti-gay bill causes Commonwealth uproar
Proposed law that would impose life imprisonment on homosexuals has the potential to divide leaders at summit.
The Commonwealth convenes for a summit this week amid growing furor over a proposed law that would impose life imprisonment on homosexuals in Uganda, whose President is chairing the gathering.
The law, proceeding through Uganda's Parliament and supported by some of its top leaders, would imprison anyone who knows of the existence of a gay or lesbian and fails to inform the police within 24 hours. It requires the death penalty for "aggravated homosexuality" – defined as any sexual act between gays or lesbians in which one person has the HIV virus.
The controversy is growing because Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni is the chairman of the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Trinidad and Tobago, which opens on Friday with Stephen Harper joining the leaders of 52 other countries.
If it is raised at the summit, the issue has the potential to divide Commonwealth leaders, who hold deeply polarized views on homosexuality. A number of Commonwealth countries, including Canada and Britain, have liberal views on the subject, but many African and Caribbean nations are socially conservative and maintain laws on their books that criminalize homosexuality.
Activists are urging the Commonwealth to make it clear that it will suspend Uganda's membership if the law passes.
Human-rights groups, including Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, have condemned the bill. They say it is a product of a campaign by evangelical churches and anti-gay groups that has led to death threats and physical assaults against Ugandans suspected of being gay.
The governments of the United States and France have criticized the proposed law, with France expressing "deep concern."
In Ottawa Tuesday, a spokesman for Mr. Harper also criticized the bill, using words that were virtually identical to the official U.S. comment of several weeks ago. "If adopted, a bill further criminalizing homosexuality would constitute a significant step backwards for the protection of human rights in Uganda," said Dimitri Soudas, a spokesman for the Prime Minister's Office.
"Canada has clearly spoken out against human-rights violations committed against persons on the basis of their sexual orientation and we urge states to take all necessary measures to ensure that sexual orientation and gender identity may under no circumstances be the basis for criminal penalties, in particular executions, arrests, or detention."
By chairing the summit without opposing the anti-homosexuality law, the Ugandan President "makes a mockery of Commonwealth principles," Stephen Lewis, the former United Nations envoy on AIDS in Africa, said in a speech in Trinidad Tuesday. "This intended anti-homosexual statute has the taste of fascism."
"The credibility of the Commonwealth is hanging by a spider's thread," he said. "The putative legislation declares war on homosexuality. … What is put at risk here – beyond the threat of the death penalty for HIV-positive homosexuals – is the entire apparatus of AIDS treatment, prevention and care."
The private member's bill was introduced last month by a Ugandan backbencher who described homosexuality as a "creeping evil." The bill has not been formally endorsed by Mr. Museveni, but his government has allowed it to proceed through Parliament, and some of his top officials have praised it.
Analysts are predicting that the law will be approved by Parliament with only minor revisions. A senior government member, Ethics and Integrity Minister James Nsaba Buturo, said he views the bill "with joy" because it will "provide leadership around the world."
The law would impose a sentence of life imprisonment on anyone who "penetrates the anus or mouth of another person of the same sex with his penis or any other sexual contraption." The same penalty would apply if he or she even "touches another person with the intention of committing the act of homosexuality."
The law requires a three-year prison sentence for anyone who is aware of evidence of homosexuality and fails to report it to the police within 24 hours. It allows for the prosecution of Ugandans who engage in homosexual acts in foreign countries. And it imposes a prison sentence of up to seven years for anyone who defends the rights of gays and lesbians.
These clauses have "a powerful Orwellian flavour" and reflect a "twisted world of sexual paranoia," Mr. Lewis said in his speech to the Commonwealth People's Forum, a civil-society group. "Can you imagine a father or a mother turning in a son or daughter? Can you imagine a teacher ratting on a student? But that's exactly what this law requires. I've truly never seen its like before."
Mr. Lewis, co-director of Aids-Free World, an international advocacy organization, noted that many other countries have laws against sodomy. "But nothing is as stark, punitive and redolent of hate as the bill in Uganda. Nothing comes close to such an omnibus violation of the human rights of sexual minorities," he said.
"What is truly staggering about all of this is that not a peep of skepticism or incredulity has come from President Museveni."
The proposed law would "demonize homosexuality" and "intensify stigma," driving gays underground and making it much more difficult to prevent the spread of AIDS, Mr. Lewis said.
War of words between pro & anti gay activists on HIV matters .......... what hypocrisy is this?
Urgent Need to discuss sex & sexuality II
Calls for Tourism Boycotts are Nonsensical at This Time
(2014 protests New York)
Calling for boycotts by overseas based Jamaican advocates who for the most part are not in touch with our present realities in a real way and do not understand the implications of such calls can only seek to make matters worse than assisting in the struggle, we must learn from, the present economic climate of austerity & tense calm makes it even more sensible that persons be cautious, will these groups assist when there is fallout?, previous experiences from such calls made in 2008 and 2009 and the near diplomatic nightmare that missed us; especially owing to the fact that many of the victims used in the public advocacy of violence were not actual homophobic cases which just makes the ethics of advocacy far less credible than it ought to be.

Violence and venom force gay Jamaicans to hide
Violence and venom force gay Jamaicans to hide a 2009 Word focus report where the history of the major explosion of homeless MSM occurred and references to the party DVD that was leaked to the bootleg market which exposed many unsuspecting patrons to the public (3:59), also the caustic remarks made by former member of Parliament in the then JLP administration. The agencies at the time were also highlighted and the homo negative and homophobic violence met by ordinary Jamaican same gender loving men. The late founder of the CVC, former ED of JASL and JFLAG Dr. Robert Carr was also interviewed. At 4:42 that MSM was still homeless to 2012 but has managed to eek out a living but being ever so cautious as his face is recognizable from the exposed party DVD, he has been slowly making his way to recovery despite the very slow pace

What to do if you are attacked (News You Can Use)
Try to reason with the attacker: Establish communication with the person. This takes a lot of courage. However, a conversation may change the intention of an attacker.
Do not try anything foolish: If you know outmanoeuvring the attacker is impossible, do not try it.
Do not appear to be afraid: Look the attacker in the eye and demonstrate that you are not fearful.
This may have a psychological effect on the individual.

Local Radio DJ's Twitter Stunt Results in One-Week Suspension
CBS, the parent company of Atlanta's ratings leader V-103 sent a clear message to one of its radio jocks: "disrespecting their advertisers won't be tolerated."
Greg Street, who holds down the 6-10 spot Mon-Sat, was placed on a one-week suspension for taking out his personal grievances against a local promoter in a series of "tweets" on the social networking website Twitter.com over the weekend.
Street's suspension began on Tuesday (5/26).

12Daisy says:
@Attymom Ryan needs a sidekick..lol I wonder if he will get Rashaan Ali since 107.9 gave her the boot. Yes, Elle is way CORNY!

Al Roker was at jury duty and was tweeting and took pics of the jury. Who does that? He did not even get in trouble.
Off Topic, The Cavs did not disappoint last night.
14Daisy says:
@Anna The game was good last night but the Cavs still have to come through on Sat. I will wait until then to get exicited again..lol
15ReadTheBlog says:
I just read that original story. You, Sandra, are a childish individual, and you keep company of the same status.
Daisy Says:
I said it before and I will say it again I heard Gregg on the radio WED 27MAY09..lol
He wasn't at the station. He was doing live remote from his concert for the kids.
@ ReadTheBlog:
Have a nice weekend.
18Daisy says:
@Sandra you are correct but he was still on V103..lol
19Anna says:

It's hard for me to watch the game. My pressure can't take it. I watch the last 6 minutes, but with fouls and time outs it turns into the last 20 minutes. LOL. The Cavs have a lot of work to do.
20luvly1957 says:
Sandra the AJC talked somethin bad about you. They basically called you a liar and said your story was untrue and said Street did not get suspended. Then the comments from the people lit ur azz up also. Everybody said that you embellish on your stories(the ones that r true) and then makeup alot of things to get people to come to ur site.
21Naima says:
Crickets, local radio LOL. Don't y'all got Wendy Williams in ATL now
22Daisy says:
@naima no we do not get wendy williams. Some local radio is ok with me I am not a fan of Gregg street though. Let me go to ajc.com though..lol
23luvly1957 says:
@naima we don't have the radio station but her tv show is suppose to be starting in July. Don't to much care for her either she tries to put everybody on front and she is to fake.
@Daisy look in the AJC for 5/27 in the entertainment section.
24Nina says:
Rodney Ho tries so hard to be in the loop.
25babysoft15 says:
Did I read this story wrong? Didnt he put the comment up on his Twitter page…you'd think he did it on the radio or something! Sandra I don't know what he did to you, but DAMN you are going for his NECK!!
26dblaq says:
Suspension with pay = Vacation!!!!!
27MissJenee says:
I know Dblaq! WHAT UP DOE! LOL and Greg Street is syndicated. He is in Mississippi and Augusta,GA
@ dblaq, I concur. It is more akin to a vacation.
@ Sandra, did you band TheRealBlog. LOL
attorneymom Says:
@ dblaq, I concur. It is more akin to a vacation.
@ Sandra, did you band TheRealBlog.
Let's just say I made it a lot easier for her to transition to another blog.
babysoft15 Says:
Did I read this story wrong? Didnt he put the comment up on his Twitter page…
What U fail to understand is that he damaged the reputation of his station's biggest advertiser with his childish tweets. As a RN, if I do something while off duty to damage the reputation of my hospital's biggest financial donor, what do U think the hospital would do to me?
@ Sandra, LMAO. Thanks for forgiving me and allowing me to remaind apart of your blog family. I love you like a little sister. ; – )
Remain, sorry

Okay so you might be banned from wearing white after Labor Day, but you won't have to live without wearing DENIM, a timeless pattern that is always 'in'. A trend that hasn't left since it's uprising last year is denim on denim for both men and women. Specifically on men, I love denim button up shirts with fitted denim bottoms. Adding a pair of sweet shades and a basic wrist-watch are great ways to add the perfect spark to this look. The shoes are important too. They really tell a lot about your style.
I visited H&M yesterday and saw these great UNISEX denim button-ups (above). When it comes to getting the shades right….don't try to match your denim colors! Go for a dark washed bottom and a lighter denim style up top or reverse!
Optional: You can slightly roll up the jeans in the look I created above to give it a more urban and casual feel.
Shop all of these looks at H&M, Urbanoutfitters, and my-wardrobe.com !

A man cleaning a Cobra Snake Pit. Guaranteed to get your heart racing. Worse than those "height" videos.
Read full article: Cleaning the Cobra Pit (Mr. Pinko)
What's the learning curve for this job?
Oh absofuckingloutely hell no. And the dude definitely needs a more efficient broom. What he was doing (besides being so blasé about the snakes he may have been stoned) was like sweeping with a snaggly bunch of twigs.
I thought it was cute the way they watched him and stayed where they were. Like a bunch of Meerkats standing there.
He sure does make it look like they are harmless.
It may have been early morning and those snakes were probably not all that active. Or maybe they use some kind of spray chemical (like bee keepers use smoke) to keep them fairly docile.
Either way, he seems to be quite competent at this job. I wouldn't do this, but you have to admit, when his friends say things like "I'm an auto mechanic" or "I'm a janitor for a medical office" he gets some serious props when he says, "Me? I just clean out a cobra pit. With the snakes still in it."
That dude looks at least a little stoned.
Did he share his stash with the snakes? They seemed kind of mellow considering someone was taking their eggs.
Aren't those snake eggs? Nice Easter gift for some liberals I know.
That was cool. But I felt sorry for the snakes when he tossed them and they hit the concrete with a plop. Owwww.
I sent this to a few friends. One emailed back saying it's all about temperature. Snakes are cold blooded and more lethargic overnight and morning when the temperatures are lower at least in the wild. He says his non-venomous snake was really sluggish when the heat went out in his house and "was almost a snake-sickle" (hIs snake was named Lou, Lou Cypher, I just had to get that one in)

The eyes of textiles
The FTC's 100th birthday is looming (and it doesn't look a day over 85, if we do say so ourselves). Ever wonder what the FTC's very first published law enforcement action — 1 F.T.C. 1 — involved? It dealt with a company that sold thread deceptively labeled as "cilk." Fast forward a century and people still want to know for certain that the cotton shirt they're buying is made of cotton.
The Textile Fiber Products Identification Act and accompanying rules take care of that. Marketers have to attach labels disclosing, among other things, the generic name and percentage of fibers, where the item was processed or manufactured, and the manufacturer's or marketer's name or registered identification number (RN).
As part of its systematic review of agency regulations, the FTC has announced it's revisiting the Textile Labeling Rules to make sure they're up to date, effective, and not too burdensome. It's asking for public input on a number of specific questions about, for example, disclosure requirements for print and online ads, generic names for manufactured fibers, the use of multiple languages in required disclosures, and the list of products currently excluded from the Rule.
If you have material comments about fabric and textiles, the FTC needs to hear from you by January 3, 2012. Save a step by filing your comments online.
By the way, if you're in the textile or clothing business or have clients who are, bookmark the special Business Center page for companies in that selected industry.

Deep Discounts August thru mid December in our luxury condo! Please ask us about special rates.
As low as $105/nt
Tax I.D. W213134-01
Our immaculate new condo is professionally designed by a San Francisco based Interior Designer. It has everything you need with all of the extra amenities: teak furniture, pillow-top bed, plush sofa, fully stocked kitchen, DVD player/stereo in the livingroom, VCR in the bedroom, large slate living room lanai for dining, and master bedroom lanai with water fountain.
The condo is perfectly located between the gorgeous waterfall pool with sand bottom Jacuzzi and new tennis courts. Fabulous Kamaole III Beach is across the street, and the white sands of Keawekapu Beach is moments away. Our Maui Kamaole Resort borders Wailea with its world class golf and shopping. Kihei offers great restaurants, beaches, and sunsets. You'll find everything you need for the perfect holiday in our fresh, new Maui Kamaole unit.
Keywords: Condominium
Tax I.D. W213134-01 We are a small group of friends and Family who have traveled the World. I kid you not! We lead busy lives in northern California and needed a place to get away and relax. When we started looking for a place close enough to Home to be practical ;comfortable and beautiful but still exotic,we decided Maui was' da kine ',as folks say here. We've been visiting Maui since the 1970's. It's busier and more organized now ,and so are we,but still a great place. Fantastic snorkeling and diving, great beaches with warm water,a beautiful mountain to explore,and don't forget the Whales! We come a few times a year to stay in our home away from home and relax and enjoy the great Aloha spirit of the place. I think we'll be coming here when we're 80,with luck.
Tax I.D. W213134-01 purchased this condo in 2005
Great beaches and a quiet but accessible location make South Kihei a great choice. There is less rain than most parts of Maui and you don't have to be a pro to enjoy the watersports on this side of the island. Every thing you need is here or close by. That makes for a relaxing holiday. Why drive when you don't have to? You can catch a charter boat at the Kihei boat ramp just down the hill for fishing diving or snorkelling.There are decent restaurants 10 minutes walk away. and the great beaches are 5 or 6 minutes away on foot.Of course you can drive, to great restaurants, golf and other beaches for snorkelling, or to the charms of Wailea just down the road or Lahaina half an hour away, but you really don't need to.
Our condo is well supplied with linens, TV and internet,beach toys and comfortable furnishings.It's quiet and close to our tennis courts and tropically landscaped pool and hot tub. You have a complete and easy to use kitchen and plenty of space to lounge around both inside and on the 2 lanais ( patios)_.
"The condo was lovely, attractively decorated, very comfortable and the kitchen was well supplied. The location was superb, close to the tennis courts, but not staring at them, and close to the lovely pool, but again it was out of sight. The complex is beautiful, private and no overlooking the parking lot. Yes, we would very much like to stay with you again.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - The Tennessee Court of Appeals ruled yesterday that Fisk University can share its Stieglitz art collection with Crystal Bridges Museum in Arkansas.
The court also removed a trial court stipulation that required Fisk to put $20 million of the $30 million it expects to get from Crystal Bridges into an endowment. The lower court had said Fisk should put that amount aside to maintain the art in the future.
Fisk has said it needs all of the funds now to stay financially viable.

From catch-up viewing to smartphone watching and connected TVs, new video consumption trends are continuing to gain ground on the traditional TV industry.
This year, mobile, online and digital video services will account for some $11 billion in global TV and online video revenues; that number is expected to grow to $28.72 billion in 2017.
International industry researcher Global Information Inc. (GII) has put its spotlight on the global markets for online TV and video, next generation TV and pay TV in new market research reports.
It says the first major effects of the television industry revolution will be felt in 2013 in the US and 2014 for many other markets.
Going forward from there, it says, 480 million homes in 40 countries will watch online television and video by 2017, up from 182 million in 2010. By 2017, 64.6% of the world's 745 million fixed broadband homes will view television and video online, up from 33.5% of the 473 million fixed broadband total in 2010.
Next generation TV is taking the world by large and the parallel success of tablet technology may spur new consumption of linear television on the larger screen.
Another key trend is "Over-the-top" OTT content and widgets, which are creating lots of industry buzz and excitement. The rise of OTT, however, is driving vulnerable pay-TV operators to reduce their prices in order to defend their market share.
A major driver of OTT is online TV and video advertising, which brought in revenues of $6 billion in 2012. However, advertising's share of total OTT revenues will decline from 65% in 2010 to 51% in 2017.
According to the new report from Digital TV Research, global online TV and video revenues will reach $28.72 billion in 2017, a massive increase from the $3.79 billion recorded in 2010 and the $11.14 billion expected in 2012. The report explains that the OTT TV sector is on the brink of a tremendous take-off; key players are expanding internationally, companies are consolidating and new partnerships are being announced on a daily basis.
Global Information is an information service company partnering with over 300 research companies around the world. Headquartered in Japan, Global Information now has offices in Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, Europe and the United States.

The area in west Texas below Del Rio, and El Paso is a very unpeopled location as well, it gets DARK after the sun goes down is all I'm saying.
Good ol' Remington 870, its an American standard. Your recommendation for long barrel and riot barrel is good - the later made Rem-Choke models worth the expense.

I was going to post this same video as a response to my recent post on the unwarranted hype around the single shot. Not sure why Dave took it down...hopefully it'll be back up.
I'm not exactly sure why you'd want a single shot for "knocking around the woods" but then prefer a pump for everything else. Why not just the pump?

870s are a lot like AR builds and potato chips:
It's very hard to stop after just one.
My favorite started life as a combo package in the late 1980s, and has served through uncounted dove trips, countless rounds of skeet, trap, sporting clays, quite a number of border patrols, and one major riot. The only parallel to a shotgun that will happily go out and bang out 3 rounds of trap and then after a quick barrel change to the short deer barrel with rifle sights stand ready for duty behind the door would be a really well-trained retreiver who moonlights as a yard patrol. The 870 still wins, because you don't have to pick up after it.
My only regret is not having the foreknowledge that Pachmayr would someday go belly up, so that I could have prudently stashed another 3 or 4 of those wonderfully hard-to-lose-grip-on neoprened 870 foreends.
Best Regards,

ISU ADA Center
What is the purpose of the Center?
The ADA & Disabilities Resource Center works to ensure that students with disabilities have equal opportunity to pursue a higher education.
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 provide the laws under which the Center functions.
The ADA Center strives to provide qualified individuals with equal access to educational, recreational and social activities at ISU. We refer students, faculty and staff to appropriate on and off campus agencies and organizations to supplement Center services.
Who may access the ADA Center?
ISU students, faculty and staff who have a disability, have a record of a disability, or are perceived as having a disability that substantially limits one or more major life activities, may apply for services at the Center.
Persons who are blind, deaf, have mobility impairments or diseases such as diabetes, asthma or cystic fibrosis may receive services. Accommodations are also provided for individuals with learning disabilities, traumatic brain injuries, and psychological disabilities, among others. Information regarding the nature of an individual's disability is held in strict confidence.
What are the individual's responsibilities?
The ADA Center encourages each individual to strive for maximum independence in the pursuit of personal, academic, and vocational goals. In order to be considered for services, one must:
- Self-identify to the ADA Center.
- Provide current, valid documentation of disability by a licensed physician or psychologist, together with test results.
- Schedule an appointment with the ADA Center to discuss
accommodations. Once accommodations are discussed and identified, the
individual agrees to:
- Personally deliver a memo generated by the ADA Center to instructors or employer and discuss special needs with them.
- Work with instructors or employer to implement accommodations.
- Maintain contact with the ADA Center and follow policies and procedures with regard to renewing Letters of Accommodation, scheduling exams, checking email for policy changes, etc.
What kind of documentation is required?
Current documentation from a qualified medical or psychological professional is required in most cases. Documentation should be in the form of medical records &/or psychological test reports, and include diagnosis, prognosis, and recommended accommodations. Notes on Prescription pads are not acceptable.
What types of accommodations are typically provided?
Some common accommodations include:
- Assistive technology
- Enlarged type
- FM systems
- In-class note-takers
- Nonstandard test-taking accommodations
- Permission to tape record lectures
- Priority registration
- Scribes
- Special seating arrangements
- Sign language interpreters
- Structural barrier removal
- Readers for exams
- Textbooks in alternative formats
- Transcribers
When is the best time to apply for services?
To maximize the effectiveness of accommodations, we urge individuals to apply for ADA Center services 6-8 weeks prior to needing them. Some accommodations take 4-6 weeks to put in place.
Qualified individuals are encouraged to contact the Center prior to or upon enrollment at ISU. It is our responsibility to make every effort to accommodate your needs. If you encounter structural or attitudinal challenges, please contact the Center.
ISU Counseling & Testing Center
The Veterans Sanctuary works with mental health clinics and offices in the Greater Pocatello area to ensure that our student veterans have access to the services that best meet their needs. Some of our partners include:
ISU Counseling & Testing Service: The counseling staff of the University Counseling & Testing Service are available free of charge to assist students who are encountering personal, social and emotional difficulties while enrolled in at least one credit at Idaho State University.
If interested in counseling, students can stop by the University Counseling & Testing Service at Graveley Hall South, room 351, to fill out initial paperwork and make appointment for an assessment, given our availability. We also have a second location at the ISU Idaho Falls Campus on Science Center Drive in the Bennion Student Union Building, room 223.
During times of high demand for counseling services and limited availability of staff, students who are not currently at high risk will be placed on a wait list and contacted as soon as there is an opening. Students placed on the wait list will also be provided with referrals for other low cost/no cost counseling services in the community.
During the assessment, students and their assessment counselor discuss the student's needs and concerns and decide upon an appropriate plan which might include individual, couples and/or group therapy. When a student's needs are different from the services provided at our office, the counselor will assist the student with a referral.
