color outside the lines
Brutally hot weather always pushes me towards this dress. I think it's the giant 80s-style arm holes. Not a very elegant notion, I know, but hey, it's functional.
Finally got a better shot of this kickin' bracelet my lovely husband got for me. I have yet to find an outfit it doesn't like.
Mind Code dress
Rag Doll bandeau
turquoise necklace made by B's dad
Ann Taylor belt
Anthropologie bracelet
Theory bag
Theory sandals
Ray-Ban wayfarers

Training for Elected Representatives
The URBACT Programme, with the active support of the European Commission, launched a pilot project for training elected representatives in integrated sustainable urban development.
This pilot training project is opened to mayors, deputy mayors and councillors of the 200 cities, which are partners in the URBACT 3rd Call for Proposals projects. URBACT received about 70 applications and 30 elected representatives coming from all over Europe have been selected.
Training on Integrated and Sustainable Urban Development
The aim of the training scheme is to give elected representatives a better understanding of European urban policy, an insight into what integrated and sustainable development involves, and the practical tools needed for project management. Not only will this help to inform their decision-making, it should also improve the quality of URBACT Local Action Plans and help to develop Local Support Groups.
"I hope this programme will help me to be a better politician in my city," Beata Stepaniuk, Councillor in Lublin, Poland, EUniversities project.
"We need new policies and projects for our city and I've come here for ideas," Francoise Rivoire, Deputy Mayor of Lyon, Sustainable Food For Urban Communities project.
Three Training Sessions Taking Place in Brussels over the Course of 2013
- Seminar 1 (8-10 April 2013): Integration. How to break silos and develop integrated and place-based solutions that cross the boundaries of government bodies, disciplines, or municipal borders? - Agenda (PDF)
- Seminar 2 (16-18 September 2013): Participative approach and stakeholder involvement. How to involve the relevant actors in policy making, with a focus on involving "policy receivers"? - Agenda (PDF)
- Seminar 3 (2-4 December 2013): Sustainability and change. How can cities tackle the challenges of climate change and assess their progress? And how to intervene in complex energy transitions while improving a city's quality of life? - Agenda (PDF)

Armed with picket signs and a long list of complaints, dozens of Briarwood-area residents protested traffic and safety conditions brought about by the ongoing Kew Gardens Interchange project near the newly-opened entrance of the Briarwood-Van Wyck Expressway subway station on Saturday.
Following what it termed to be a lack of response from the state Department of Transportation, the Briarwood Action Network organized the rally in an effort to get multiple concerns addressed.
Among the group's requests are increased traffic lights in the area, more effective traffic signage, additional external lighting and security and adequate sanitation collection, as well as better communication with the community.
Safety was of primary concern for many in attendance.
"Traffic patterns are confusing. Pedestrians and motorists have blind spots," BAN President Aida Vernon said.
"I almost got hit by a car," Briarwood resident Brenda Cummings said. "I was walking home from work. A car got lost. There's nothing to tell them this is a pedestrian area. This has added 15 minutes to my walk each day from where the other station entrance was. They put little signs up. No one knew where to go."
Janet Harmeyer, who also lives nearby, said she once saw school children endangered by construction activity near the subway entrance.
"About 3:30, a guy stopped all the traffic and a huge truck came out," she said. "That's the time the children come from school. That could be a major problem."
Locals called for an increased police presence and improved lighting along the path to the subway entrance.
"If there is a police presence, I don't see them," said one area resident.
Another, Adela Poveda, called for security cameras along the pedestrian path many commuters must now use to enter the station.
"It's very lonely especially if you come at 10 p.m. from work," she said. "It's scary especially with winter coming."
Several area entrances to the E and F trains have been closed because of the project. The location of the new subway entrance, which opened on Aug. 17, borders the Van Wyck Expressway service road on one side and Maple Grove Cemetery on the other, leaving many commuters disgruntled.
"I just retired because of this," said 78-year-old Barbara Greenberg, who has lived in the area for two decades.
"You have to walk through a narrow passageway — all the way around," Greenberg said. "When it gets dark and it's raining and snowing, it will be very hard to cross."
"They should have left things alone," she added. "It's a waste of money. They're going to build an elevator that is only going to go down to a certain level and for people in wheelchairs and with canes. This is going to be very dangerous."
With no trash cans in sight, sanitation has become a problem.
"Our new neighbors are the mice," said resident Frieda Cabreja.
Beth Brooks, communications director for BAN, said she met with representatives of the DOT and NYC Transit in October and expressed some concerns.
"We're concerned that there hasn't been the result we requested," she said. "The traffic on the Van Wyck service road is very dangerous. There was a complete change in the traffic pattern. Cars were driving on the wrong side of the road."
A representative for Assemblyman Michael Simanowitz (D-Flushing) acknowledged that navigating the area in a car or by foot could be confusing and disconcerting.
"There's nothing we can do to stop the project. We want to minimize the inconveniences."
Simanowitz did a walk through of the site on Tuesday with residents and DOT officials.
His spokesman said the assemblyman is making contacts on short-term solutions and assessing how to coordinate with various agencies on long-term relief measures.
"The agencies don't seem to be communicating," Vernon said.
The Van Wyck widening, to the south of the Kew Gardens Interchange, is the first stage of the effort to redesign the tangle of roads and ramps where the Grand Central Parkway, the Jackie Robinson Parkway, the Van Wyck Expressway and Union Turnpike converge.

(& I've seen more of these squirrels lately...in smaller sizes & 2 diff poses...yes, this is a 'brother' as my squirrel is sitting on an opened shell acorn! LOL!) |
Jane, You really do have the touch! The setting on your camera gives everything a beautiful romantic glow!

LITTLE WHITE HUTCH ENVY ATTACK !!! Soooo pretty. What really caught my eye is the old cash register tho. What a cool piece that is! hugs, Karen |

Ditto to what Karen said: You have so many beautiful hutches, I am really envious! I only have room for the one in my dining room. All of them are decorated so beautifully and I love each and every one. You have some fabulous decor pieces to work with and you do such a great job layering and grouping everything. Super Duper!! TFS, |
Jane, love the corner display in the kitchen with the black iron stand. Great find on it and the plate. Lovin' that plate w/peas. Second pic with antiques is so great for a fall display. DH had an old cash register that he gave to a friend. Funny how the old things come back only to be loved again. Pretty table cp. So simple yet beautiful. Your top of the hutches are nice with pitchers, lamps, etc. Your white hutch all decorated for fall is wonderful. Squirrel looks good among all the pretty fall additions here.NICE!!! Punk |
Thanks Everyone... Jeanne..that print I have (I love) is by Millet - called The Angelus. It's a very old print I bought in upstate NY at a Flea Mkt. Like the one over my mantel...I love subjects like that. I remember the one you have, (which I love too) is also special. Glad you enjoyed everything. Nana.. If I had room for a dozen hutches (which would be dangerous)...I'd probably fill everyone of them!! You can never have to many - Right? lol Karen...I've used the editing on Photobucket...sometimes the picture is too one way or other, and there's not much you can do to enhance it much. Thanks for the tip tho. Candy..I know you have tons of dishes and with just one hutch jane |

Jane, you do such a lovely job decorating your home, always! I do less and less every year, the carrying the bins up and down is killer! The bin fairy just never shows up! |
Thanks Kathleen...honestly I can relate to wanting a 'bin fairy'. I feel the same way about carrying them. I seem to be buying more bins and just packing them lighter to haul. I always worry about falling with them down the stairs too. jane |

Your pics look so warm and inviting even if you say the colors didn't come out right. Love your finds in the corner display, and the apples go well with the register and picture--it is so cute I can see why everyone would want to try it out! I don't have "stairs" to carry bins up and down, but mine are on sturdy shelving in a storage area and I have to climb up one of those three step stools and lift them down--they are getting heavier every year because of more stuff! (Won't admit to getting "weaker") LOL I'm actually thinking that I need to find smaller bins and maybe part with "something" this year! Luvs |
- Posted by lynnencfan (My Page) on Thu, Oct 20, 11 at 10:12
Well ditto what everyone has already said - just great vignettes everywhere - I love the soft romantic coloring of your photos. Your white hutch is perfect. Mine is finally decorated now that the paint is fully cured but still need some hardware before I take pictures TFS ..... Lynne |
Thanks again Luvs..Lynne. Luvs, I seem to find the only way to make those bins manageable is to pack them lighter or get smaller bins! Lynne I'm looking forward to your decorated hutch. jane |
Well done! I just love fall decorations! |

Thanksgiving break, a much needed break at that! I know this break is going to fly by way too fast, but I am determined to enjoy it as much as possible while I can! Over my break so far I have hung out with great friends, caught up with a few friends that are away at college too, but most of all I have hung out with my family and had a blast doing it! I have a two-year-old niece that is my world. She is like me in so many ways, it is almost scary! I have gotten to hang out with her and play games with her this entire break, and I am really going to miss that when I get back to Wilson.
At home it is a tradition after the family has eaten that we all sit down and play some type of game together. Kind of old school I know, but it is great, quality family time that is tons of fun! This year we played Scattergories. If you've never played this game, it is a "must play" if you like a little fun and friendly competition!
Since it was just Thanksgiving and this holiday really marks the beginning of the holiday season, I thought it would be appropriate to tell what I'm thankful for! Like most other people, I am thankful for my family, friends, my health, and the ability to spend the holiday season with those amazing people. I am also extremely thankful for my amazing sisters of Delta Zeta; they have been there for me through thick and thin. I really do not know where I would be without those young women. It is awesome what a group of young women can do once they get together and strive for the best that they can be. They have helped me grow, mature, and respect myself and others to a degree I never thought I could, and for that I am truly thankful.
Now let's switch gears
Thanksgiving break has also been a great time for me to catch up on some homework and, better yet, get ahead on some homework! I have papers that are due at the end of the semester; and instead of procrastinating and waiting until the week before to write them, I have decided to get the jump on them now! If not, I would be completely swamped with a million things on my to-do list! As I mark each item off of the list, I can literally feel my stress level subsiding, and it's a GREAT feeling if I do say so myself.
So as I leave you today to go put up Christmas decorations with the family, I have chosen to leave you with a quote, I hope you enjoy it.
"Time flies. It's up to you to be the navigator." – Robert Orben

Jury Convicts Las Vegas Podiatrist of Submitting Fraudulent Bills to Medicare
Las Vegas, Nev. - Following a six-day trial before U.S. District Judge Kent J. Dawson, a jury convicted a Las Vegas podiatrist today of 67 counts of Health Care Fraud for fraudulently billing Medicare for surgeries not performed and services not rendered, announced Daniel G. Bogden, United States Attorney for the District of Nevada.
NICK T. NGUYEN, D.P.M., age 40, a licensed Nevada podiatrist operating at 3009 West Charleston Boulevard, in Las Vegas, was indicted in May 2004 on charges that he knowingly and willfully executed a scheme to defraud Medicare of money in connection with the delivery and payment for health care benefits and services. In convicting today, the jury found that DR. NGUYEN fraudulently billed Medicare for ingrown toenail surgeries for 16 patients, when in fact he rendered routine foot care. The jury also found that DR. NGUYEN fraudulently billed for office visits and surgical procedures on the same day, when in fact he had not rendered the two separate services.
In order to conceal the scheme, DR. NGUYEN listed fraudulent diagnosis codes on Medicare claim forms and falsified progress notes in order to receive the reimbursements from Medicare. DR. NGUYEN also waived co-payments and charged his cash customers significantly lower prices than he billed Medicare.
Medicare regulations do not permit a physician to be reimbursed for rendering routine foot care or for office visits and surgical procedures performed on the same day, unless a significant separately identifiable service above and beyond the usual care associated with the procedure is provided.
"Significant resources have been devoted by the FBI and U.S. Attorney's Office to this investigation and prosecution," said U.S. Attorney Bogden. "The case demonstrates our commitment to preventing health care fraud in Nevada."
DR. NGUYEN is free on bond pending sentencing, which is scheduled for July 1, 2005. He is facing up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine on each count.
The case is being investigated by Special Agents with the FBI and is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys Crane M. Pomerantz and Andrew Duncan.

Green Right Now
Last week, President William J. Clinton made a stop in Chicago to address the American College & University Presidents' Climate Commitment at its annual Climate Leadership Summit. Since leaving office, President Clinton has spent his time focusing on issues that, to him, make a difference. One that the former president has chosen to tackle is the environment, and in his opinion, the economy and the environment go hand in hand.
In his view, the future is green and in relation to the economy, green is gold. Count him among those who believe we can best increase economic activity by investing in the new emerging energy economy.
President Clinton acknowledges that in a time of great economic uncertainty, it is hard to put up the investment when the savings are not immediate, but realized over time. Yet according to President Clinton, environmental change has the potential to not only make for a better planet, it will greatly stimulate the economy.
"Lester Brown (founder of the Worldwatch Institute, which is devoted to the analysis of global environmental issues) says if you invest a billion dollars in a coal fire plant you get 870 jobs" Clinton said. "If you invest a billion dollars in solar power (depending on which type) you get 1,800-1,900 jobs. If you invest a billion dollars in wind power, if you actually manufacture and assemble the windmills in the jurisdiction where they are put up, you get 3,300 jobs. If you invest a billion dollars in energy efficiency you get 6,000 jobs."
Those are compelling estimates at a time when America has lost 6.7 million jobs in the recession.
"This is the cheapest, surest, most certain way to generate the increased employment we need, that will also spread confidence throughout the economy and get hiring going again in every sector," Clinton said. "I do not believe there is another option available for the United States at this time that would do more in less time to generate the jobs we need.
"We have to demonstrate how to do this in a way that actually has a transformational impact on our economy and the global economy, and a way that generates more broadly based prosperity as well as saves the planet for our children and grandchildren," said Clinton.
As a solution to the financing road block, he explained the idea of "decoupling," which means "a utility company does not have to sell more electricity to charge more, so instead can finance efficiency and then split the savings with the homeowner, the business owner or the building owner."
California has been using this system for a while now. Which is why "the average Californian uses 55 percent as much energy per year, as the average American," according to President Clinton.
The Clinton Climate Initiative (CCI) is involved in many projects in cities around the world. Recently, the organization worked with Johnston Controls on an energy efficiency design for New York City's Empire State Building. The project, self-financed, will cost $33 million and reduce greenhouse gases by 38 percent. It is projected to save $4.5 million per year in utility bills and be completely paid off in only 7.5 years.
"It will have the equivalent effect of that one building taking 19,000 cars off the road, so we are hoping that it gets other New York buildings to get into this more rapidly," said Clinton.
The CCI also is in the beginning stages of a project that will make the entire island of Puerto Rico completely self-sufficient.
Clinton's Presidential Library in Little Rock, Ark., was the first federal building to receive a Platinum Level LEED Certification. So he is currently urging the federal government to upgrade all its buildings, and to require that each new structure meets LEED standards.
President Clinton also is passionate about the problem of deforestation, calling it "18 percent of the global problem." While Brazil is facing great challenges in relation to deforestation due to cattle ranching, other poorer countries are burning down forests for other reasons: to live. Clinton believes that in most places, people burn down trees to be able to cook dinner, using Haiti as an example. In these countries, he said, the incentive to burn down the trees must be removed. In Haiti they have developed a product made of saw dust and wet paper, which sells for a penny each. It burns as effectively as coal, but for one fifth of the cost.
Decisions are being made that affect all of us, he warns. While you may not be able to solve the crisis of global warming or even get a vote in Congress, every little bit makes a difference.
"All I know is, if you do a million little things, you have done a very big thing," Clinton said. So perhaps, all we can do is just try our best, one little thing at a time, he urged. The state of our environment is no longer an issue for the future; it is an issue for today. We cannot solve problems using the same thinking that created them. It is time for a change.
In a powerful closing, President Clinton said simply: "I would like to do more, and I hope that you will help."

Sonam's 'branded' look in "Aisha", Saif's LV briefcase in "Kal Ho Na Ho" or the latest 'Bagwati' in " Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara", Bollywood's become more fashion conscious in the last few years with movies showcasing various luxury brands to make the characters look more hip and happening.
Some from the fashion and film industry explore the trend... One of the eminent names, who designs a lot for Bollywood films today is Manish Malhotra, who says that he tries to inculcate a bit of style and fashion in the movies he's assigned. According to Manish, it's this fashion statement that is shown on-screen that later gets embibed by the masses. "I asked Saif (Ali Khan) to carry a Louis Vuitton briefcase in "Kal Ho Na Ho" after which I noticed that so many office-goers in India had started carrying that very bag. So through our cinema, these fashion trends set in and influences the masses," says he.
Actress Dia Mirza, who has played the role of the girl-next-door many-a-times, says that she is often asked by her fans about the brands she dons on-screen. Dia says she has seen a drastic change in films in the last six to seven years. "Every type of actor is supposed to dress in a certain way these days that is in sync with the kind of character he or she is playing. The minutest of detailing is taken care of." Social networking, she says, has added to the whole mania around branded clothing. "Consumers, fans and fashion experts follow what you're wearing at all times and you are constantly critiqued. So, the more all this is discussed, the more the the fans get interested in what you are pulling off and therefore there is certain curiosity. The consumers want to know what their favourite actors are wearing."
According to director Sahil Sangha, there is a very healthy dose of fashion in Hindi cinema. "Fashion has influenced Bollywood and Bollywood has carried fashion forward." He further adds, "There are urban films and films based on the Indian living abroad, so depending upon the characters, we can bring in a dash of luxury items as it enhances the look of the movie. So between cinema and the fashion world, it's quite a healthy barter."
Shabana Azami adds that Indian brands are going global and it's not only that the West is influencing the East, but everyone is understanding the others' culture. "Luxury is in our DNA - we hail from the time of the maharajas," said Azmi.
Illustrating the example of 'Bagwati' in "Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara", Zayed Khan says, "Many people didn't even know that 'Bagwati' was an Hermes product. So the branding is there, but it's done in a very subtle manner. This sort of a portrayal makes more people want to know the brand of the bag, which was worth an approximate 12000-euro, thereby raising awareness. So Bollywood is an ideal platform for people to notice that with these brands, we are all selecting a lifestyle."

Melanoma Often Spotted Later Among Blacks, Hispanics
Posted: June 20, 2006
page 2 of 4
In their study, the researchers looked at 1,690 melanoma cases reported in Miami-Dade County between 1997 and 2002. Among these, 1,176 occurred in white patients, 485 in Hispanic patients and 29 in non-Hispanic black patients. The population of whites and blacks in Miami-Dade County is approximately the same.Compared with whites, the Hispanic and black patients were more likely to have advanced-stage melanomas. Sixteen percent of Hispanics and 31 percent of blacks had cancer that had metastasized -- spread to other organs or tissues -- compared with 9 percent of whites.
Moreover, 52 percent of black patients had regional or distant-stage melanoma, the most severe stages, compared with 26 percent of Hispanic and 16 percent of white patients.
Kirsner isn't sure why these differences exist. It's possible that blacks and Hispanics have a more aggressive type of melanoma, he speculated. "More likely, there is less awareness among patients and health-care providers that melanoma can occur in ethnic populations and patients with darker pigmentation," Kirsner said.
As a consequence, these patients aren't screened as often, and lesions are not detected as early as in the white population, Kirsner said. "So a diagnosis is delayed until a late stage and that correlates with worse survival," he said. "Patients' diagnoses with thin melanomas have nearly a 100 percent survival. However, if it has spread, then survival goes down to 16 percent. So survival is worse in Hispanics and blacks."

A Catholic student group at Vanderbilt University has voted to cut ties with the school over its non-discrimination policy.
The controversial policy states that any student can seek leadership positions in campus-approved organizations.
Christian students have been vocal in their opposition to the policy. They argue that their groups should not be forced to admit members who do not share their beliefs.
Vanderbilt Catholic became the first group to announce that it has no plans to re-register as an official student group at the school.
Vanderbilt Catholic chaplain, Father John Sims Baker, said student leaders recognized they could not in good conscience agree to a policy that could allow that to happen.

Celebrity phone hacking....it's a thing now.
Unfortunately, most starlets who have their phones hacked end up with nude pictures, sex tapes, their celebrity little black book, or drug photos exposed to the world and can have a lot of explaining to do, but generally it's more an annoyance than anything.
Julianne Hough had her phone hacked recently and the photos the hackers released are just about the most tame bunch of hacked photos you're ever going to see.
She really does appear to be the good girl she portrays to the world.
Of course, cute photos of puppies, costumes, and Ryan Seacrest are just the tip of the iceberg because Julianne's phone also had some rather important things on it like her Footloose script, health insurance info (!), and her entire unreleased album that's been sitting around waiting for the right time to be released.
The group who hacked Julianne's phone as well as others in the magazine world and in Hollywood is an offshoot of the infamous hackers Anonymous and call themselves Hollywood Leaks. The main purpose of their hacking endeavors seems to be to annoy celebs and just sort of piss people off for the fun of it.
Mission accomplished I'd think. Of course, celeb photos are one thing, releasing a person's medical information is quite another.
The release of Hough's insurance card, however, is not just distasteful. It may be criminal according to the Department of Health and Human Services, which says that the release of personally identifiable health information may result in prison sentences of 1 to 10 years and penalties of $50,000 to $250,000.
Of course, I can't imagine the feds taking this all that seriously, but hopefully they might.
In the meantime, you can read more about the hacking here or check out many of Julianne's tame and yet entertaining photos here, or if you'd like to hear some of Julianne's hacked music, check out That's What The Night Is For, Mr. Irresistible, and On The Verge - all of which are actually pretty good.
Maybe the hackers were just fans and really wanted Julianne to get her damn album out already.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
ANALYSIS FOR EDIT - Obama in Iraq
Released on 2012-10-19 08:00 GMT
Email-ID | 63889 |
Date | unspecified |
From | email@example.com |
To | firstname.lastname@example.com |
wrapping up an eight-day tour through Europe and Turkey. The trip to
Baghdad was kept secret due to security concerns.
The visit will mark Obamaa**s first trip to Iraq as president and third
trip to the country overall. While in Iraq, Obamaa**s focus will be on
expressing his support to U.S. troops and U.S. commanders who are readying
themselves for the withdrawal. According to the Obama plan, all but 50,000
troops will be withdrawn from Iraq over 19 months. After Iraq holds
elections at the end of 2009, the drawdown will accelerate, providing the
United States with increased military bandwidth to refocus its attention
further east to Afghanistan.
During this trip, Obama will see first-hand that withdrawing from Iraq
will not be a clean process. Just prior to the presidenta**s visit, a
string of six car bombs tore across Baghdad April 6 killing 34 people and
wounding more than 120. This was a highly coordinated attack that struck
crowded markets, a police convoy and workers in Shiite neighborhoods.
Instead of suicide bombings, a common tactic of al Qaeda in Iraq, the
explosives were packed in parked cars close to the targets and then
detonated remotely. The list of possible culprits is long, but the fact
that Shiites were targeted could indicate that al Qaeda in Iraq forces are
trying to preserve their force strength by remotely detonating the
explosives since they now face greater difficulty in operating in Baghdad.
There is also serious concern that the attack could have been perpetrated
by former Sunni Baathists disillusioned by the attempts made thus far to
integrate Sunni forces into a Shiite-dominated security apparatus.
The April 6 attack occurred against a backdrop of already rising
Sunni-Shiite tensions in Iraq. Backed up by U.S. forces, Iraqi security
forces have launched a series of arrests and raids over the past week in
southern Baghdad against members of the Awakening Councils -- the Sunni
tribal forces that cut ties with al Qaeda, allied with the United States
and played a pivotal role in undercutting the insurgency. According to
STRATFOR sources, Iraqa**s Shiite-dominated security force has urged the
United States to help them pin down those Awakening Council forces who
allegedly drifted back to the insurgency or were never loyal to the Iraqi
security forces in the first place. While these Shiite concerns may be
valid, there is also the possibility that some Iraqi Shiite politicians
are also exploiting the fear that some of these Sunni tribal militiamen
have returned to the insurgency in order to contain the rise of the
Awakening Councils, who performed well in recent provincial elections.
Though the security teams targeting the Awakening Councils in these raids
have mostly been mixed between Sunni and Shia forces, the local Shia are
left with the impression that the Awakening Council forces cana**t be
trusted, while the local Sunnis feel that a Shiite-dominated security
apparatus is out to get them. Many of the Awakening Council forces are
also still not receiving pay from the Shiite-led central government, and
as a result, reportedly vacated a number of checkpoints south of Baghdad
in early April.
The United States is under a great deal of pressure to consolidate the
security gains made thus far in Iraq and shift the U.S. military focus to
the jihadist war in Afghanistan
a war that Obama has prioritized throughout his campaign and in his
presidency to date. With the United States now trying to draw down its
security presence in Iraq, there remains an array of militant actors in
the country who have an agenda to crack the already fragile power-sharing
arrangement between the Shiite-led central government and the Sunni
Awakening Council forces who feel that they are still sitting on the
sidelines. The security situation in Iraq is still the best it has been
since the start of the war, but with sectarian tensions starting to flare
once again, no withdrawal timetable can be set in stone.

Front and center is Mamie (Lisa Kudrow), a depressed abortion counselor being blackmailed by a sleazy wannabe film student (Jesse Bradford), who claims to have located the child she gave up for adoption years ago under some very hush-hush circumstances and will reunite them only if he can videotape the whole thing. (And that's just the tip of this incredibly complicated iceberg.) Says Kudrow, ''It's maddening and fascinating to watch her get sucked in by what's being done to her.'' Yeah, seriously where are those Friends now that she really needs them?

Information needed locally
First, does anyone here subscribe to ATT U-Verse? (TV, Home phone, cell Phone, HD)
I tried to but they said a part of PTC had a radiation static problem in my area (middle of city)
and they called the whole thing off after giving me a cheap phone and installing a new phone terminal on the back
of the house.
Question: who has this system and what part of town is it?
Second: Maybe the guy who installed a new "phone box" is from the CIA? It was all a farce by the government and ATT!
Or, could it be an adversary on here?
Incompetency abounds in service, everywhere. Could it be the sorry job we are doing in the schools and universities?
About seven things went sour over the last week due primarily to ignorance of the helper and poor training. We seem to make a living now
by occupying a seat and wasting time and making mistakes with no desire to correct them personally.
One of the people I talked to on the phone was obviously at home, and had a child screaming so loud that I could not understand her words,
She excused herself for a few seconds, came back and within five seconds the same thing. She had forgotten where we were and proposed ridiculous schemes, none of which was the problem. Sad part, she has no trainer or supervisor other than a one week seminar.

Inflammation of the conjunctiva, the delicate lining of the eyelids and the front of the white of the eye. It may be caused by infection (when it is commonly called pink eye), chemical burn, physical injury, or allergy. Often the cornea is also inflamed (keratoconjunctivitis). Infectious causes include several viruses and bacteria, including those that cause trachoma and gonorrhea, both of which can lead to blindness. Conjunctivitis from erythema multiforme, a skin eruption, can also cause blindness.

MANILA - Seeking to end a decades-long conflict in the Muslims-majority south, the largest Muslim group in the Philippines eyes to reach a peace deal with the government this year.
"We can see the light at the end of the tunnel and believe we are 85 percent sure it will be signed by the end of the year," Mohagher Iqbal, chief negotiator of Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), told Agence France-Presse (AFP), referring to the roadmap both sides have been working on.
Iqbal said the final announcement would come during the next round of peace talks in the Malaysian capital Kuala Lumpur early next month.
"This meeting is really the peak time to hammer out some of the outstanding issues and come out with an agreement."
A similar hope is echoed by the Philippine government.
"We are looking at this framework agreement as the over-arching architecture of the peace process," government chief negotiator Marvic Leonen said.
"In this agreement, the entire roadmap of the peace process can be discerned."
MILF, the country's biggest Muslim group, has been struggling for an independent state in the mineral-rich southern region of Mindanao for some three decades now.
The conflict between Muslim independence-seekers and Maoist guerrillas have killed 160,000 people and displaced 2 million in the last 40 years.
Since opening peace talks with the government in 2003, the MILF has said it is willing to accept autonomy rather than independence.
Tough Issues
Negotiators from both sides were still to decide on the toughest issues in the peace roadmap.
Leonen, the government chief negotiator, said the roadmap would outline a new autonomous region in parts of Mindanao and spell out broad plans for a power-sharing deal there with the MILF.
"There (is) still some hard bargaining ahead," Iqbal said.
Among these issues still to be resolved are the extent of the MILF's power in the autonomy and the exact terms of wealth sharing.
In 2008, both parties came close to a peace deal under the previous administration led by then-president Gloria Arroyo.
According to the deal, MILF would have been given control over 700 townships and villages.
Facing furious protests from leading Christian politicians in the south, as well as the influential Catholic Church, the Supreme Court ruled the deal as "unconstitutional".
This time, however, the government negotiator said they have been consulting with officials in the south as well as congressional leaders in Manila to ensure their support for the planned new deal and avoid a repeat of 2008.
"We should be able to tell the MILF we will defend it tooth and nail and we are prepared for the trajectory of the peace agreement," Leonon said.
Mindanao, the birthplace of Islam in the Philippines, is home to more than 5 million Muslims.The island is home to vast untapped reserves of gold, copper and other minerals, as well being one of the country's most important farming regions.

Today's #Brewers lineup vs. Texas in Maryvale. First pitch 2:05 CT. Listen to Ueck and @joe_block on @620wtmj! twitter.com/MikeVassallo13…
— Mike Vassallo (@MikeVassallo13) March 8, 2013
Call me a softy but seeing Norichika Aoki's name written in Kanji on the Brewers lineup card hits me square in the awesome. The rest of the work is strong — not Wakamatsu strong, ironically enough — but still: this is a high quality lineup card. For a game that is probably going to be rained out anyway!
Apologies if the Brewers do this every day and I only noticed now.
