The Washington Public Service Commission may not concern itself with common stock dividends of a public service company which is engaged otherwise than solely in intrastate business in this state.

May 20, 1952
Washington Public Service CommissionInsurance BuildingOlympia, Washington Cite as: AGO 51-53 No. 309
You have asked that we review our opinion number 51-53-102 of August 20, 1951 [[to the Washington Public Service Commission]], in the light of considerations presented by counsel for one of the public service companies affected thereby. It appears that the company in question believes that the opinion as issued is not consistent with the holding of our Supreme Court in State ex rel. Washington Water Power Company v. Murray, 181 Wash. 27, 42 P. (2d) 429.
We are always glad to review opinions upon request, and in this particular instance, feel that the opinion as issued, in some respects, is not in accord with the law and should be revised as hereinafter set forth.
Our conclusion as reached in the initial opinion was that as long as a public service company is engaged in business in this state, even though also engaged in doing business in another state, it cannot utilize securities as dividends on its common capital stock. We herein modify such opinion so that our holding is that the commission may not concern itself with securities issued as dividends unless the public service company proposing the issue is solely engaged in intrastate business.
[[Orig. Op. Page 2]]
This conclusion was arrived at after holding that although by the terms of theMurray case,supra, interpreting section 11, chapter 165, Laws of 1933 (Rem. Supp. 10458-5), the commission has no jurisdiction over dividends paid by a public service company engaged in both intrastate and interstate business, nevertheless, where such dividends take the form of a stock dividend, they are prohibited by the provisions of section 3, chapter 151, Laws of 1933, as amended by section 1, chapter 30, Laws of 1937 (Rem. Supp. 10439-3).
While we adhere to that portion of the opinion affirming the jurisdiction of the commission over stock issues of a public service company doing business in this state even though it also be engaged in doing interstate business or business in another state, we believe that under the Murray decision, supra, the commission may not concern itself withcommon stock dividends of a company engaged other than solely in intrastate business in this state. Section 11, chapter 165, Laws of 1933,supra, purports to cover entirely the matter of dividends regardless of the form thereof, and accordingly by theMurray decision, such section can have application only to public service companies doing business only in this state.
As stated in theMurray decision,
"We are, however, convinced that there was no intent by this act to regulate the payment of dividends by those engaged in interstate as well as an intrastate business, and that, as it now appears the appellant was so engaged, we find no occasion to discuss the other questions raised. * * *"
TheMurray decision was rendered in 1935, and there have been repeated sessions of the legislature since that date with no resulting legislation to overcome the holding of that case. Although the decision followed from a divided court (four justices dissenting), in view of the long period of apparent legislative acquiescence in the court's interpretation of the legislative intent, we are compelled to conclude upon reconsideration that the court would not distinguish between a cash dividend and a stock dividend in so far as the application of the particular statute is concerned.
It may well be that the commission is of the opinion that it is as much in the public interest to have some supervisory control, within constitutional limits, over the payment of dividends by a public service company doing both an [[Orig. Op. Page 3]] intrastate and interstate business as where it does only an intrastate business in this state. This, of course, is a matter for presentation to the legislature should it be considered warranted.
Very truly yours,
SMITH TROYAttorney General

One of my most favorites!!! :) smells so good, conditions but doesn't weigh my fine but thick hair down. LOVE. Too bad I *think* this has been replaced by the new line- love the new line for "color" as well.
Definately not worth the price. This conditioner did absolutely nothing for me. My hair has looked and felt dry since I've started using it, and my color looks really dull.
Very unimpressed, I paid $17 for this, I think I got ripped off at the salon. The stuff stinks, and it appeared to make my highlighted hair almost drab and darker. Yuck.
My stylist recommended this conditioner, and I'm so glad she did. I love it. My hair is medium length, straight, and colored (light blonde). I've been using this conditioner with both TiGi Moisture Maniac shampoo and TiGi Fashionista shampoo. It seems to work equally well with either, and leaves my hair soft, silky, and easy to manage. I'll be buying it again!
Unfortunetly, Goldwell came out with a new definition line which i'm not very happy about! You have the option of choosing from light, for fine hair or intense, for thick hair shampoos and conditioners in the color, moisture or curl lines. I have fine hair and the color light formula just made it feel dry and the conditioner doesn't even do anything for my hair. I am afraid to buy the intense line because i'm afraid it will be too heavy for my hair. The only good thing I can say is the light conditioner has a good consistency and it smells very good. Oooooh well
This conditioner does not weigh down baby fine hair. My hair always has lots of body and looks fantastic after use! Soft with lots of shine and bounce!
I found this conditioner to be drying in the long term. It contains a drying alcohol and after a few weeks it left my ends screaming for moisture. Too bad, because I still have half the bottle left.
Huge Rage, I got this conditioner on a whim because it was marked down so much. I tried it , loved it, and bought another. My fine, highlighted, wavy hair feels soft and full. I will repurchase in a heartbeat.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Cat I001, a Rocky Mount Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Rocky Mount, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Rocky Mount.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Rocky Mount already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Rocky Mount breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Rocky Mount paves the way for another one to be saved.

Danny, do you have squirrels or any small mammals that disturb the bulbs in beds! I am getting ready to make large beds in the next year, but worry about bulbs being dug up by squirrels and things getting mixed up. K |
Danny, You talk about rejuvenating beds and building new ones. Would you share how you do this? Also, how do you start your seedlings and how do you care for so many? Whatever you are doing works - as you have so many beautiful flowers. |

'Escape' 2012 with the Cali rockers on NYE at the House of Blues at Showboat
Jane's Addiction always takes it up a notch for special shows. "And whenever we play New Year's Eve, well, that's a significant event for our band," says drummer Stephen Perkins.
"When we play Atlantic City, it's going to be a party. We want people to be moving, drinking, having fun and fucking. That's the kind of band we've always been. We're a band that stimulates people with our music and our shows. When we play Atlantic City, we approach it like Las Vegas; it's a carnival atmosphere. It'll be fun since we're in a groove right now."
Jane's Addiction, which will play Monday, Dec. 31, at the House of Blues, is rolling while supporting the band's first album in eight years, The Great Escape Artist. The band manages to appropriate the visceral power from its brilliant salad days back in the late 1980s when it emerged as the next band to break from Los Angeles.
But the quartet also sounds contemporary with its fusion of the ethereal and the space between sounds. It's a winning combination and the new material complements the vintage tunes.
"We just decided to do what fits best for this album," says Perkins while calling from his Los Angeles home. "We are who we are and so you'll hear sounds that were part of this band 25 years ago. But we're all about expanding that palette of sounds. We're not about to be stagnant. Back when we started, we had to be adventurous and that remains the same."
Jane's Addiction made a massive impact not long after forming a quarter century ago. There was a huge buzz around the band. Rolling Stone proclaimed that Jane's Addiction would be the band to emerge from the West Coast in 1987. (The East Coast band, according to RS was Tommy Conwell and the Young Rumblers!)
"We came out of such a special scene," says Perkins. "There were bands like the Red Hot Chili Peppers, who were already established, Fishbone and so many really cool acts."
But nobody sounded like Jane's Addiction. The band combined guitar driven rock, primal percussion and a quirky, arty sensibility.
"Me and [guitarist] Dave [Navarro] are younger than [vocalist] Perry [Farrell] and [former bassist] Eric [Avery] so we acted our age. We liked to play loud and fast. And then there was Perry and Eric, who were really into Bauhaus and bands like that, which are more subtle than what Dave and my influences were. The combination really worked well."
Jane's Addiction reached rock's upper echelon after releasing a pair of seminal albums, 1988's Nothing's Shocking and 1990's Ritual De Lo Habitual. Most of the songs wear well.
"People still go crazy for those songs and we'll always play then," says Perkins. "We feed off the energy from the crowd. The new songs are connecting with people as well."
Will Jane's Addiction, which has released only five albums in 25 years, come back with a disc sooner than later?
"I think the answer to that is definitely," says Perkins. "We've really supported this album. We've played about 65 shows this year and we feel great as a band. I don't think there's a reason to take a break. I don't want to just play the old songs. I think a band needs to make new music often. That's what is best for a band. I don't ever just want to be a nostalgia act. We get how good the response has been to the new songs."
Major League Baseball tabbed the first single "Irresistible Force (Met The Immovable Object)" as the bed for commercials during the playoffs.
"That was incredibly cool," says Perkins. "It's cool since there is the recognition that we can still bring it. The other cool thing is that I'm a huge baseball fan. I was a shortstop as a kid and I still appreciate the game. We were very proud of that."
So what will Perkins do in Atlantic City after the New Year's Eve show?
"I'm just going to hang out and watch what people do," he says. "It's a celebratory night. People are going to get together and gamble, have fun and party like they do in Las Vegas, which is awesome to me. I'm going to perform and we're all going to take it all in and mark what is a fascinating year. We're going to try to give everyone something to remember. I think that's what shows should be about because when I was growing up, I would go to shows and I'd remember these events because anything could happen. What's special about Jane's Addiction is that anything could happen when we step onstage. We have three musicians, who are locked in and we have a great singer. Those are the ingredients necessary to make something special happen."
While Perkins is chatting, the demands of his-three year old are audible.
"I love being in this band, but what people don't know about me is that my number one priority is being a great daddy. That's what matters most to me in the world, especially when you look at the horrific events that [just] happened in Connecticut. You need to spend as much time as you can with your loved ones. That's what it's about. It's about that and making the best music that you can."

New Year's Eve falling on a Tuesday is bad timing in some people's perspective, but if your NYE resolution is to try to be more optimistic, then view it as the culmination of five straight days of partying starting Friday, Dec. 27.
There were parties galore in Atlantic City on New Year's Eve 2013, including casino-wide celebrations, the Life in Color event at Bader Field and Tiesto.
No East Coast town does New Year's Eve better than Atlantic City and its environs (yes, New York City, that includes you), so here are a few suggestions for those who have not yet gotten around to planning out their big night.
Joe Perry: "I would have been fine doing the project [without Tyler]. It would have been quite exciting, but we never got that far and we're still Aerosmith, which is where I would rather be."
Much has changed and much has stayed the same in the 20 years since Megadeth released Countdown to Extinction. Megadeth vocalist-guitarist-songwriter Dave Mustaine took some time to AC Weekly talk about why the classic metal album, which will be showcased in its entirety Friday, Nov. 16, at the House of Blues at Showboat, is still resonant today.

Dwight Yoakam ignored the conventions of the "get them back to the tables" casino show. He walked out on the Circus Maximus stage at Caesars and proceeded to put on a two-hour plus show that by my count included over 35 songs.

The hyperkinetic front woman careens about the stage while her messy mop of black hair covers her intense eyes. She has more in common with old-school rockers like Iggy Pop than pop-rock contemporaries like Katy Perry. O is real and ... INTERVIEW INSIDE

While pockets, briefcases, laptops and carry-ons have been comprehensively invaded by mobile information technology, the wrists of mobile entrepreneurs have so far been left vacant. No longer. Architects of miniature electronics are staking out that real estate as a place for tiny schedule- and contact-keepers, and even bulk information storage and transport devices.
Fossil Inc., the Richardson, Texas-based fashion watchmaker, is the unlikely pioneer of wrist-based Palm devices with its $275 Sport Wrist PDA. Running version 4.1 of the Palm OS in a package about twice the size of a normal digital watch, the Wrist PDA tracks contacts and stores appointments and to-dos in 2MB of memory.
Users can jot memos into the 160-by-160-pixel screen using a tiny stylus, much like a full-size Palm handheld. It communicates with other Wrist PDAs or larger handhelds via an infrared port. It also tells time, allowing wearers to select from a variety of analog or digital clock displays.
Several European manufacturers have begun selling watches that incorporate portable USB memory storage. The watches work like the popular key chain-style memory devices. You plug into any computer's USB port, using a short USB cable that dangles from the watch. Then you can use the watch as if it were a disk drive-handy for transporting large files and documents.
The Laks USB Memory watch from Austria comes with 32MB to 256MB of memory and costs $42 to $149. London-based Memixdirect.com sells a 128MB USB MeMIX Memory Watch, which has the USB cable incorporated into the wristband, for about $110.
Fossil is one of a handful of watchmakers to have announced a still more advanced wrist gadget-developed with Microsoft-that will receive personalized data from the Web, such as news, weather, stock quotes and IMs, via a radio broadcast signal. It will be one of the first devices using Microsoft's Smart Personal Objects Technology (SPOT). Fossil has promised a fall 2003 release but hasn't released specific price or ship dates for its SPOT watch, called the Wrist MSN Direct Watch.
Laptops and Notebooks
This year, sales of personal computers will reverse the negative
growth trend of 2002-but only because sales of portable laptop and
notebook computers are growing strongly while desktop sales
stagnate, according to Gartner. The lopsided growth in laptop sales
has spurred manufacturers to focus marketing and technology
resources on the sector, resulting in a surge of powerful,
imaginatively configured and attractively priced models. Today,
there's a laptop for every taste-from tiny ultraportables and
the familiar 6-pound thin-and-lights to relatively hefty luggables
that have just about every feature you can find on a desktop
What to Buy and Why |
Check out the latest laptops here. |
One of the most striking trends has been how quickly wireless networking has become a standard feature of portables of every size. A year ago, 1 in 4 notebooks had some kind of wireless networking. Today, 3 out of 4 do-usually, the 802.11b Wi-Fi flavor used in Intel's Centrino mobile chip package, capable of wireless data transfers as fast as 11Mbps.
When it comes to ultraportables, or ultralights-the less than 4-pound category with the most appeal for executives and other frequent fliers-there's a host of new entries from leading vendors. Toshiba, which virtually invented the category, has an interesting new Centrino ultraportable, the Portégé R100, that's less than an inch thick and a feather-light 2.4 pounds. You can get a 1GHz Low Voltage Pentium M processor and 256MB of fast main memory (expandable to 1GB) for $2,299.
The new HP Compaq Notebook nc4000 ultraportable is a bit thicker, at 1.1 inches, and a little heavier, at 3.5 pounds. It's equipped not only with the ubiquitous .11b Wi-Fi flavor, but also with 54Mbps .11a wireless networking with an easy software upgrade for the .11g Wi-Fi type as well. Offering a little more oomph than the Portégé, you can get an nc4000 with a 1.4GHz Pentium processor and 256MB of memory for $1,650.
Dell's new Latitude X300 is another ultralight with a popular brand name that combines a variety of wireless networking options with extreme portability. The 2.9-pound X300 comes standard with 802.11b/g networking and an inexpensive option for .11a. You can get an X300 that's less than an inch thick with a 1.2GHz Low Voltage Pentium M and 256MB of memory for $1,450.
Same-size tablet PCs, which were introduced with much fanfare a year ago and use the same processors as ultralights, have yet to catch on.

Kanji is a liquid extract of a food - usually rice, black carrots or mustard. This is a Marwadi delicacy of moong dal wadas, soaked in mustard flavoured kanji. The kanji has to be made at least a day in advance so that all the flavours are released into the water. Mustard kanji is usually enjoyed in the winter, as mustard is a food which produces heat in the body. Serve plenty of kanji with the vada so that one can enjoy a large sip of the kanji once the vada is polished off.

I was browsing for videos on Lesotho and came across this awesome one from the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation. For those of you that don't know, Lesotho has the third highest HIV rate in the world: one in every three people is living with HIV. According to the foundation, "out of a population of 1.89 million, approximately 320,000 people are living with HIV, including approximately 41,000 children; 24,000 of these children are in need of treatment."
Well, I was very impressed to hear about the Elizabeth Glaser foundation's project to help stall mother-to-child transmission. You see, there is no way that children need to contract HIV from their mothers… simple medicines and care prevent mother-to-child transmission.
According to their website, the Foundation has, as of June 30, 2012:
- Provided more than 108,000 women with PMTCT (prevention of mother-to-child transmission) services.
- Enrolled more than 200,000 people into HIV care and support programs, including more than 9,400 children under the age of 15.
- Started more than 96,000 people on antiretroviral therapy (ART) for HIV, including more than 4,600 children under the age of 15.
Pretty awesome. If you'd like to learn more, here is there website:

Tesco, Adsa and now Sainsburys have supermarkets in Flintshire. There are also shopping centres in Broughton and Flint. This is also in addition to independent in-town shops who are under threat from the big guys. Flint alone will boast seven supermarkets.
Castles in Flintshire
Flintshire has four castles: Hawarden Old Castle which dates back to the Iron Age, Caergwrle Castle circa 1277, Ewloe Castle started in 1257 and Flint Castle started 1277.
Flintshire Politics
On a political front, Flintshire has remained a Labour stronghold since the mid 1990′s in both local government and UK representation. Government Minister, David Hanson represents the Delyn constituency and Mark Tami represents the Alyn and Deeside constituency. Both being staunch supporters of UK Government policy.
Living and Working in Flintshire
Most of Flintshire is rural with some spectacular views across the Dee Estuary to the Wirral and Liverpool. However, the county also has a significant level of industry including Airbus, Toyota and Corus plus two gas fired power stations and two paper mills. With unemployment around 2% and higher average wages (against the Wales average), Flintshire is a good place to work.
Despite the heavy industry, the air quality in Flintshire is by no means the worst in Wales. The good news is that it is estimated to improve in Flintshire according to the UK Air Quality Archive.
Flintshire also has some of the cleanest beaches in Wales (yes we do have beaches!) Gronant and Talacre beaches have both been awarded the Yellow Seaside Award Flags for cleanliness.
According to the Met Office, Flintshire is the driest county in Wales. On average, less that 30 inches of rain falls along the North Wales coast from the Dee estuary to Llandudno. Apparently this is because Flintshire falls inside a 'rain shadow'.
The River Dee runs through Flintshire and forms part of the boundary between Wales and England. Starting in Snowdonia, the Dee runs for 70 miles and culminates in an estuary between the Welsh coast and the Wirral.
When driving in Flintshire be aware of your speed at all times. North Wales Police are very, VERY keen to apprehend speeding motorists.

The Chronicle is published every Friday and has a circulation of approximately 7700. Both papers cover the usual local news, mainly human interest, sport and crime. Political coverage and investigative journalism is alas a thing of the past.
Entertainment in Flintshire
We can't really say that Flintshire is a major centre for nightlife. However, we do have Clwyd Theatr Cymru (Theatre Clwyd) which has an international reputation for staging highly acclaimed and thrilling drama based in Mold. Theatre Clwyd is the only place you can watch a film in Flintshire.
Macbeth is currently showing at the theatre until 24th May. An excellent performance of Shakespeare's 'Scottish Play'. Visually powerful.
Flintshire has the National Centre for Ice Sports in Wales facility in Queensferry. Flintshire also has three swimming pools in Connah's Quay, Flint and Holywell as part of a network of nine leisure centres.
If you like fast food, then Flintshire is the place to be. It seems that every other shop is a chippy! That said, there are several fine restaurants serving Indian, Chinese and European cuisine along with good old British fayre.
Flintshire has never had its shortage of public houses – until now. Recently there has been a string of pub closures which is reflecting a national trend.
The one thing you can do in abundance in Flintshire is play golf. There ar 11 golf courses in the county.

Is there a Camellia tree that works well in Zone 7 area? I am on Longisland, NY. I have gone to many nurseries and they informed me there aren't any.
Meadow |
Follow-Up Postings:
"There aren't any" they said? Well, not exactly. Maybe none that they are aware of. But there are some. Camellias in the April Series are unusually winter hardy and reportedly will survive winters in Zone 7 and even colder. 'April Tryst' is one example with excellent winter hardiness to Zone 6b. It has red anemone-like and blooms in early spring (April, of course). Others go by the names April Remembered, April Blush, etc. The Winter Series are cold hardy fall-blooming camellias developed by the US Arboretum. They go mostly by names like Winter's Charm, Winter's Rose, etc. See the link below. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Winter Series
Try Hick's Nursery in Westbury. I have seen camellias there (from the April series) many times. |

Ryan and Megan Ping were pushing themselves. Running faster than usual, taking in the colorful fanfare that is the Boston Marathon. Their third year at the marathon, the two were exhausted with the effort, and Ryan said the couple wondered if they were going to make it whether they'd start walking or quit.
If they had, things might have turned out differently, because the couple's three children and Megan's parents Dale and Mary Dennis were waiting near the finish line, just feet from where the first explosion turned the bright and happy day into a nightmare.
Winonan Nathan Wohlfeil had just left the finish line, too. After injuring his foot, he didn't run the marathon, and instead cheered a friend on until around hour three of the race. He limped across the finish line area just 20 minutes before the bombs went off.
Wohlfeil and the Pings, from nearby hotel rooms, watched as the city around them erupted in turmoil following what some are calling an "act of terror." The two explosions killed three and injured at least 140, and thousands since have recounted the close calls, the shock, while millions across the country have raced to contact friends and family members to ensure they made it out safely.
All of the Winona-area residents who attended the Boston Marathon appear to have avoided injury in the blasts, according to information given to the Winona Post by loved ones of attendees.
Wohlfeil and the Pings still feel the shock of the tragedy; all arrived back in Winona on Tuesday.
Ryan described the chaos that unfolded following the explosions. He and his family found out about the explosions from his sister's sister-in-law, who was near the finish line when the bombs went off, and immediately called the family to let them know what was going on. "Immediately there were sirens everywhere, a feeling of chaos," Ryan explained. Special forces officers lined the streets toting machine guns and body armor, streets were shutdown, hotels put on lockdown. Ryan said the family turned on the television for a few minutes to see the news, but quickly turned it off and focused on keeping their children calm. "We took the kids into a separate room and talked to them about it, asked if they had any questions," he described. "And we all prayed for the victims." They brought the kids Grace, 9; Lauren, almost 8; and Jamison, 5 to the hotel pool to help them recover from the frightening day.
Wohlfeil and his friends stayed glued to the television, trying to sort out what had happened. Both the Pings and Wohlfeil, because of the chaos on the streets, did not stray from their hotels that evening.
"It really hit home when you see people walking next to you with bandages all over their heads," recounted Wohlfeil, whose hotel was just two blocks from the site of the explosions. Having attended the last two Boston Marathons, Wohlfeil, who is a personal trainer at Snap Fitness and also works at Wenonah Canoe, said the atmosphere following the violence Monday was dark. "It's supposed to be such a happy time," he said. "Everybody was so somber. Everybody was kind of in shock."
Ryan agreed. "We feel absolutely terrible for those people who were affected," he said. "It's also terrible for the event and for future events of this kind." The close call with the children so near the site, he said, still feels surreal. "We're sure glad we toughed it out, because if we had walked or quit, our kids would have probably been at the finish line during the explosion."

While many people were out celebrating Saint Patrick's Day on Sunday, others were cleaning up the mess.
The San Luis Obispo Downtown Association hosted a series of clean ups throughout the weekend.
Clean up crews worked early Sunday morning, and they're scheduled to clean up Monday morning as well.
Port-o-potties were placed throughout downtown so people wouldn't urinate in public or go into businesses just to use the restroom.
"We're trying to do the clean up. We're trying to help people be responsible. We did an ad campaign that said 'What Happens on Saint Patty's Day Stays On Your record,' so you know the double fines, the drunk in publics, the DUI's, all of that. Basically, we're just asking people to be mindful and stay responsible," said Andrea Miller of the Downtown Association.
SLO Safe Ride also helped put on the clean up.

The American Civil Liberties Union has issued a legal challenge in federal court on behalf of two Islamic charities that say their reputations have been damaged by the U.S. government's criminal case against the Holy Land Foundation, a now-defunct charity accused of aiding terrorists.
Both the Islamic Society of North America, in Plainfield, Ill., and the North American Islamic Trust, in Burr Ridge, Ill., are labeled as "unindicted co-conspirators" in the Holy Land Case, which ended in a mistrial last fall but is due to be retried in September.
The Holy Land Foundation is accused of providing some $12-million to groups run by Hamas, a Palestinian militant organization the U.S. government has labeled a terrorist group. The leaders of the group have denied the charges.
The motion filed in U.S. District Court states that the Islamic Society of North America and the North American Islamic Trust, which both disavow any connection to terrorism, have been "publicly branded" as criminals in their connection to the Holy Land Case, a violation of the Fifth Amendment. The legal action seeks to expunge the names of the charities from all documents related to the case.
The Islamic Society of North America is described in the legal brief as "the nation's largest mainstream Muslim community-based organization." The group promotes civil engagement among American Muslims and works to educate the broader public about Islam. The North American Islamic Trust holds in trust the titles to several mosques and Muslim schools across the country.
"For many people, when they hear the designation 'unindicted co-conspirator' what they really hear is just 'conspirator,'" says Ingrid Mattson, president of the Islamic Society of North America. "This makes it very difficult for us to continue to have relationships that are built on trust."
Additionally, Ms Mattson says the government action has put a strain on fund-raising efforts.
"We've had some of our supporters ask if they would have any problems if they donated to us," she says. "And certainly we've had to divert some funds that would have gone to our programs to legal defense."

The Tempest, 1.2
In many ways, The Tempest is one of the earliest pieces of American literature. Shakespeare was influenced by accounts of journeys to the new world, and scholars have long seen Caliban as a stand-in for native Americans.
Today, students will explore some of the colonial implications of The Tempest, analyzing how language and power interrelate in the play and using another American voice, American Sign Language, to consider the different forms of communication available to Caliban before the arrival of Prospero. By translating some of Caliban's speech into ASL, students will also explore grammar issues and the relationship between thoughts and words.
This lesson will take two class periods.
Folger edition of The Tempest Available in Folger print edition and Folger Digital Texts
Internet access, about one computer per four students
1. Ask your students the following questions: What are their own early memories of learning their mother tongue? How did they acquire language? Do they remember their first words? Why is a baby's first word so important?
2. Then, ask students to consider Miranda's account of teaching Caliban her language. Project this quotation using an overhead or write it on the blackboard:
I pitied thee, Took pains to make thee speak, taught thee each hour One thing or other. When thou didst not, savage, Know thine own meaning, but wouldst gabble like A thing most brutish, I endow'd thy purposes With words that made them known. (1.2.424–30)
What power structures are wrapped up in Miranda's account? What is language? Does a language have to be academic? Written? Formal? Shared? Do they think it is likely or feasible, even, that Caliban existed without a language before his enslavement to Prospero? (Push students hard on this question. Have them use the text of the play. Point them toward the fact of Caliban's mother, Sycorax, the lack of clarity the play provides on whether there were other inhabitants, etc.) If Caliban did have a language, what would it have been like? (Students should gravitate toward ideas of language as mimetic/imitative.)
3. Assign students to groups of four. Encourage them to imagine that Caliban did indeed have a language—a mixture of "gestures," "sound," and "dumb discourse" (i.e., sign language)—and someone with whom to speak it. What words might he have needed most? Ask students to brainstorm ("braintempest") twenty words that Caliban's island surroundings and lifestyle would have demanded. (They will likely come up with mostly nouns and words having to do with addressing basic needs.)
4. Using this online American Sign Language dictionary, have students find and apply signs to the words they braintempested for Caliban. Then, have them share a few of their words and signs with the larger group. (Much of this step can be done as homework as well.)
5. Once students are comfortable signing, have them translate Caliban's speech beginning "this island's mine" at 1.2.396–411 into ASL. Each group should take on a four-line chunk of the speech. Encourage them to seek out synonyms when necessary (e.g., story, parable, and narrative are all the same sign) and to make up a sign for Sycorax using the letter S and a gesture that makes sense with her character.
6. Have students share their translations with the larger group. They should be able to remember the key signs needed to do this. Have one member of each group read their four-line chunk while the other members do the signs.
7. Ask students to compare and contrast the mimetic language of the deaf with Standard English. They will probably point out how detached form and content are in Standard English (e.g., book looks nothing like a book). This discussion will set them up nicely to explore the alignment of sound and sense later in Caliban's "the isle is full of noises" speech, 3.2.148–56.
8. Reflection: Ask students what they noticed about Caliban's language through applying signs to it. Encourage them to compare spoken/written English with signed English. They may notice the poetic/mimetic qualities of signed English (e.g., signs for "toads, beetles, and bats" look like those creatures).
9. For further thinking/homework, ask students: What difference does it make, if any, whether Caliban did indeed have a language before the arrival of Prospero and Miranda? Is Miranda right that Caliban's "vile race, / Though [he] didst learn, had that in 't which good natures / Could not abide to be with"? How is language used to "civilize" people in modern-day society? (This may be a good essay topic.)
10. As an extension, when you get to Caliban's beautiful and very aural "the isle is full of noises" speech, have students apply signs again in order to explore the visual as well as the aural aspects to Caliban's poetry.

With this train of thought, I recalled an Utne Reader article I had saved. The photo had caught my eye. Two young boys were embracing in the parking lot of South Bus Terminal, Mexico City. The brief article reports that street children sell candy, juggle, steal, and implore passersby for change.
Arising from the fact that local shopkeepers and police find them to be irritants, a new law proposes a ban on street children, requiring municipal officials to find a safe refuge via social service agencies for these children or face fines of $420 per child unattended. An article in U.S. Catholic suggests that the ban may be a familiar effort to simply, sometimes ruthlessly, remove the problem from view.
U.S. Catholic encourages responses more humane and practical to the needs of abandoned children with clothing and cleanliness, safety and shelter, and adequate nutrition and reminds U.S. citizens that they have a role. Our country signed on to the U.N.s Millennium Challenge Project to cut extreme world poverty in half by 2015. If only that could be reality!
Considering all the deplorable and unjust atrocities going on in a global world today, one often wonders, whos in charge? When child molesters are released into mainstream public after serving absurdly short prison terms, someones asleep at the wheel.
As our political leaders vie for various positions to office, how much election deception and mudslinging leads to broken promises, and often broken homes, at the end of the campaign trail? As millions are deprived of adequate medical attention because insurance is too expensive, whos blocking the door?
One million two hundred thousand United States teens wont graduate from high school; in Detroit only 25% will graduate. One cant even begin to guess how many young people are e-mailing predators and are misled by scams and dangerous activities. Video games occupy impressionable young minds. Have parents taken a leave of absence!
I asked our granddaughter Alexandra what she thought my generation played with as children, not having all the technological gadgets, trendy toys, 4-wheelers, and text messaging they have now. Of course our youth cant be blamed for that, nor chastised because some adults choose to spoil them with heaps of stuff.
What used to be here we go round the mulberry bush has become dont talk to strangers. The outdated refrain no! no! just doesnt cut it anymore. The old hometown isnt what it used to be! As we talked, I remembered that I once played in a sand box. I brought to mind the games of yard to yard tag and cap guns and cowboys and Indians (now racially and politically incorrect.) I rode my clumsy, second-handed bicycle all around Lewiston, familiar with the occupants of each house. Parents ordered unruly children to go outside and play! Neighborhoods were pleasantly lively with rollicking kids!
Then our conversation took a more daunting path. Ally asked, Did your mother let you go all over town without an adult? In these uncertain times, children are left off and picked up at the door of the school by adults, while others ride the bus. With super busy schedules theres no time for dawdling, but thats not all; Ally was genuinely concerned as she told me that she saw, from their car window, two of her friends walking on a street in Lewiston a long way from their home without an adult!
The game of life has big stakes. Game over! Get real! Give Thanksgiving a second thought.

Nico Klaber is single-handedly taking the shame out of male ironing with the 'A Menes Iron.' This iron is designed specifically for men with its jet black coloring and fierce geometric design.
I never really feel shame when I iron, but I definitely don't feel cool. The 'A Menes Iron' is a pretty badass looking appliance and it also throws in one more unique feature to help put it over the top. The Iron has a smaller heating pad which can be used to iron small areas like sleeves and collars. Men will become domesticated mavens if the 'A Menes Iron' ever hits store shelves.

Exodus Accepts Gays–as Long as They're Helpless Victims
Alan Chambers just doesn't get it. The Exodus International President expects gays and lesbians to be moved by his words of compassion, but any gay or lesbian who knows their worth will hear only patronizing and insulting condescension in his words.
Here is Chambers speaking at the Third International Congress on World Evangelization (the Lausanne Conference), held in Cape Town, South Africa, last month:
[flv]http://capetown2010.IStreamPlanet.com/Multiplex01_Sat_Seg1_Sexuality_WEB30036567.flv[/flv]Here is Chambers castigating Christians for what he believes is their greatest sin towards homosexuals:
We, as the Church, have not viewed homosexual people, gay and lesbian men and women, as starving, hurting, broken, lost people in need of compassion.
I believe that God looks upon these people in the very same way that he looks upon those AIDS orphans, those starving orphans in parts of the world that have no alternative.
Maybe sometimes that will mean that they walk into the church with their fishnet stockings coming in from the job that they had all night.
I lived in the gay community for a period of time and it was one of the best counterfeits that I've ever experienced.
We are largely the most uneducated people on the face of the planet about compassion and reaching out. We have a long way to go.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Rhode Island's unemployment rate slipped from 9.2 percent to 9.0 percent in November, and the state gained 1,400 jobs, according to monthly data released Thursday that showed five key economic indicators the state tracks all moving in a positive direction.
It's the first time in a year that all five indicators were positive, Department of Labor and Training Director Charles J. Fogarty said in an interview. It's also the fourth consecutive month of job growth for the state, totaling 4,500 new jobs — the first time in 10 years the state has recorded that many consecutive months of growth, Fogarty said.
"This is good news," he said. "The recovery is continuing. It's not robust, and it's certainly slower than it has been in previous recessions."
But that's true for the nation, and Rhode Island was hit harder than much of the country, he said.
Nevertheless, Fogarty said far too many Rhode Islanders who want to be working remain out of work — 49,500 residents were counted as unemployed in November. That's down by 900 from October and down 6,600 from last November.
"We're not suggesting we've reached the promised land, by any stretch," he said. "But we're certainly moving forward in the right direction. I'm particularly pleased with the job growth."
The national unemployment rate for November was 7.0 percent, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Rhode Island jobs now total 470,600, the highest employment level since December 2008, in the middle of the Great Recession. However, the November jobs number is still 25,800 fewer than the peak recorded here — 496,400 in December 2006, before the recession pummeled Rhode Island and the nation.
While the monthly numbers look good, comparing the November report with a year ago, only three of five indicators showed positive results. Key negatives over the year: the size of the labor force shrank by 12,000 people and the number of employed Rhode Islanders dropped 5,400 from last November, according to the DLT data.
Economist Gary L. Ciminero said the fact that 12,000 people have dropped out of the civilian labor force makes it easier to achieve a lower unemployment rate, particularly if those dropping out of the work force were unemployed people. People who have given up looking for jobs here are no longer counted among the unemployed.
"The unemployment rate is a little misleading," said Ciminero, principal of the Providence consultancy firm GLC Financial Economics. "It gives a positive gloss to something that's negative, which is a decline in the work force. So we're still struggling. And to brag that Rhode Island employment … is the highest since December 2008 — well, you know, a lot of other states have hit new highs, particularly Massachusetts and Connecticut. We've got a ways to go."
A rebirth in manufacturing is giving a lift to some states, Ciminero said. But Rhode Island's manufacturing base is having a hard time showing sustained growth, as is the state's sluggish construction industry, he said. That's another industry improving in other states.
"We're still kind of the caboose on the national economy — even in terms of this 9.0 percent unemployment rate, although we haven't seen the other states yet," Ciminero said.
That's because not all states report their unemployment rates on the same days. Neighboring Connecticut and Massachusetts each reported their November rates Thursday, and they dropped in both states, but other states will report theirs on Friday. Rhode Island's October rate of 9.2 percent was the second-worst in the country for that month, behind only Nevada.
Both Connecticut and Massachusetts also gained jobs for November.
The Massachusetts unemployment rate was 7.1 percent for November, and the state added 6,500 jobs for the month, according to the Massachusetts Executive Office of Labor and Workforce Development. In Connecticut, the unemployment rate fell to 7.6 percent for November, and the state added 4,000 jobs.

On Wednesday, Prudential Financial, Inc. ( PRU ) issued long-term junior subordinated notes worth $500 million. The issue was doubled from the originally planned $250 million. The net proceeds are expected to be utilized for improving the company's business operations and redeeming retail medium-term notes, which carry higher interest rates. The Notes bear a coupon rate of 5.75%. Interest on the notes will be paid on a quarterly basis. The first interest payment is scheduled on March 15, 2013. The notes are dated to mature on December 15, 2052. Prudential appointed Morgan Stanley ( MS ), Bank of America Merrill Lynch, the corporate and investment banking division of Bank of America Corp . ( BAC ) and UBS AG ( UBS ) and Wells Fargo & Co . ( WFC ) as the joint book-running managers for the sale. The notes are rated "Baa3" by Moody's Investor Service of Moody's Corp. ( MCO ), "bbb" by A.M. Best and "BBB-" by both Standards & Poor's (S&P) and Fitch Ratings. The outlook remains stable for all. Earlier last week, Prudential issued long-term callable notes worth $1.5 billion to be used for general corporate purposes. Ratings Rationale The ratings from all the agencies validate Prudential's solid earnings growth and escalated operational scale on the heels of exceptional operating performance from its diversified business basket and brand appreciation. Moreover, a strong international presence provides the company with better organic growth opportunities and helps garner market share, thereby strengthening its competitive position. Prudential's financial leverage ratio is expected to be about 35% for 2012, up from 32% at 2011-end, but slightly down from 36% at the end of September 2012. However, about 200 basis points increase in leverage ratio in 2012 is attributable to prepayment of debt and a new accounting standard for deferred acquisition costs, which reduced shareholder equity. Nevertheless, total leverage that includes all operating leverage stood stable at 41% at the end of September 2012 against 42% at 2011-end. Moreover, despite the lingering concerns regarding low interest rate and economic volatility, Prudential has been successfully maintaining acceptable risk-based adjusted capital (RBC) ratios. Overall, Prudential can see higher ratings if it is able to reduce its financial leverage ratio in the mid-20% range and total leverage below 40%; GAAP interest coverage in the 8x-10x range; NAIC RBC ratio remaining near current levels; and Japan solvency margin ratio above 700%. Reverse rating action can follow if financial leverage ratio zooms past 35%; outstanding commercial paper constitutes above 10% of total debt on a sustained basis; a total financing and commitments ratio goes above 1.5x; and GAAP interest coverage ratio comes below 5x. Prudential's stock retains a Zacks #3 Rank, which translates into a short-term Hold rating.
