3 Vying For Republican Nomination For House Seat
The three candidates seeking the Republican nomination for a central Arkansas congressional seat are running on vows to cut taxes and regulations in Washington, but split sharply on who would be the strongest candidate in this fall's election.
State Rep. Ann Clemmer, banking executive French Hill and retired Army Col. Conrad Reynolds are running for the GOP nomination in the May 20 primary for the 2nd Congressional District. Whoever wins the nomination will face former North Little Rock Mayor Pat Hays, the only Democrat running, and Libertarian nominee Debbie Standiford.
The three hope to succeed Republican U.S. Rep. Tim Griffin, who announced last year he wouldn't seek re-election and is now running for lieutenant governor. All three Republicans are running on similar promises to repeal the federal health care law.

Turkey's proudly secular state has a growing element who thinks what the country needs is more religion. For what good? I have no idea:
embedded by Embedded VideoYour Thoughts?
Dr. Daniel Fincke has his PhD in philosophy from Fordham University and spent 11 years teaching in college classrooms. He wrote his dissertation on Ethics and the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche. On Camels With Hammers, the careful philosophy blog he writes for a popular audience, Dan argues for atheism and develops a humanistic ethical theory he calls "Empowerment Ethics". Dan also teaches affordable, non-matriculated, video-conferencing philosophy classes on ethics, Nietzsche, historical philosophy, and philosophy for atheists that anyone around the world can sign up for. (You can learn more about Dan's online classes here.) Dan is an APPA (American Philosophical Practitioners Association) certified philosophical counselor who offers philosophical advice services to help people work through the philosophical aspects of their practical problems or to work out their views on philosophical issues. (You can read examples of Dan's advice here.) Through his blogging, his online teaching, and his philosophical advice services each, Dan specializes in helping people who have recently left a religious tradition work out their constructive answers to questions of ethics, metaphysics, the meaning of life, etc. as part of their process of radical worldview change.
Wellllll. I'm very very far from siding with religious people anywhere ever, but the thing is that the Turkey's secular principles have been enforced with a little too much force for some time.
I mean, it's one thing when you support the separation of church and state, and another when you ban people from expressing their religious views in public, or have the religious political parties banned by courts. Also, censorship.
For once, when religious people say they oppressed, they actually really are oppressed.
And whenever the religious groups seem to win some rights for themselves, the army threatens to form a junta government again.
Sadly, there's no pink-hearts-and-teddy-bears secularism in Turkey.

The Wager Matches were one of Black Ops' most fascinating multiplayer innovations.
Here, players could bet 'COD Points' (a form of currency which could be exchanged for weapons and emblems) against other human players in one of four different game types.
These included the 'Gun Game' (an idea pinched from Counter Strike - each kill upgraded your weapon) and 'Sharpshooter'(where everyone has the same weapon, which swaps around randomly in 45-second cycles).
Although the currency system underpinning it was flawed, these game types were a creative and entertaining way to hoist players out of their comfort zone and get them using weapons they would never otherwise dream of equipping.
All it needs now is a proper sense of danger. It'll be interesting to see whether Treyarch can use the CoD Elite infrastructure to create an environment where the Wager Matches can offer real, meaningful risks - and real rewards, too.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Ex-premier's bulimic daughter to hold fundraiser so more can get treatment
Emily Doer hesitated before going public with her experiences battling an eating disorder.
"I think sometimes people expect families in the public eye to be perfect," the 22-year-old says, curled up in a chair at Red River College's Princess Street campus. "I didn't want this to become a blame game around my father."
Doer's parents are former Manitoba premier and current Canadian ambassador to the United States Gary Doer and his wife, Ginny Devine. The young woman says she grew up trying to avoid the public attention that came with her dad's job. She has stepped into the spotlight on her own terms.
"I think there's a lot of guilt and shame around eating disorders," the second-year RRC student says. "I think a lot of people don't really understand how many people suffer in silence."
Her decision to speak out comes as a Manitoba advocate for eating-disorders treatment claims waiting lists are so long, people are in danger of dying before they can be helped. Elaine Stevenson, whose daughter died 10 years ago after a lengthy battle with anorexia, says making seriously ill people wait six months or a year for treatment is unconscionable.
"Someone shouldn't be at death's door before someone steps in to help them," Stevenson says.
Doer is organizing a fundraiser to benefit the Health Sciences Centre adult eating disorders program. It's a way to pay back the people she credits with saving her life. She entered the HSC program as an in-patient in the summer of 2011. She stayed in hospital for a month and participated in the outpatient program for three months. Because she went into hospital at a healthy weight, she was released earlier than many people with eating disorders.
She says her father flew in from Washington to attend weekly family counselling sessions. Her mother wasn't able to travel to the Canadian Embassy as often as she might have, choosing to remain in Winnipeg to support her eldest.
Doer is bulimic. She would binge on food and then purge. She put restrictions on which foods she would eat, how much she could consume and when she could eat. She says she now understands she was grasping for control when she felt lost in other areas.
"At 19, the eating-disorder behaviour started to have a real impact on my life," she says. "I took rules from all the different diets I had gone on and kind of made up my own rules.
"I really, at one point, was completely out of control. I had anxiety, I was depressed. My family were pleading with me to get help. They were very supportive, but they were also insistent I get treatment."
The HSC adult program has only four hospital beds, says director Dr. Louis Ludwig. An additional three patients are seen on an outpatient basis and 10 people come for evening therapy. Other patients are seen by nurses and dietitians to help prevent relapse.
Ludwig says patients referred by their family doctors get an initial phone call in two to three days. They will then wait two to three months for a formal assessment. After that, they're placed on the waiting list. Eight people are now waiting for admission. Their condition, the doctor says, is urgent.
Patients take part in group therapy, learn to plan and shop for meals and are taken to restaurants to learn to cope with public eating. Doer says an outing to a buffet was overwhelming.
"It's this overwhelming feast," she says.
"Eating is such a social thing, when you're not able to eat in front of people, it really alters your life."
All restaurant outings are paid for by patients.
Ludwig says his team has put in a request for increased funding, hoping to feed patients in their outpatient program three supervised meals and two snacks a day. Now, they get lunch and two snacks Monday to Thursday.
Ludwig believes the change, which would cost between $100,000 and $200,000 annually, would shorten admission time in the program.
Doer hopes her fundraiser will net $7,000 to help the program pay for things such as yoga classes to help patients cope with stress or cover the cost of outings.
The Women's Health Clinic runs the provincial eating disorder prevention and recovery program. Clients can self-refer. Clinic executive director Joan Dawkins says around 80 people are enrolled in the program, which centres on group therapy. They meet once a week. The waiting list is more than a year long.
"I don't think anyone would disagree one year is waiting too long," Dawkins says.
Doer says she continues to deal with her bulimia.
"I think I'll always have those feelings of imperfection. I remind myself the positives in my life outweigh the negatives."
Doer's Tea For E/D fundraiser will be held Feb. 10 at the Fort Garry Hotel. Tickets are $60. For more information, go to teaforeatingdisorders.com .

About Lindor Reynolds
National Newspaper Award winner Lindor Reynolds began work at the Free Press as a 17-year-old proofreader. It was a rough introduction to the news business.
Many years later, armed with a university education and a portfolio of published work, she was hired as a Free Press columnist. During her 20-plus years on the job she has written for every section in the paper, with the exception of Business. She'll get around to them some day.
Lindor has received considerable recognition for her writing. Her awards include the Will Rogers Humanitarian Award, the National Society of Newspaper Columnists' general interest award and the North American Travel Journalists Association top prize.
Her work on Internet luring led to an amendment to the Criminal Code of Canada and her coverage of the child welfare system prompted a change to Manitoba Child and Family Services Act to make the safety of children paramount.
She has earned three citations of merit for the Michener Award for Meritorious Public Service in Journalism and has been awarded a Distinguished Alumni commendation from the University of Winnipeg. Lindor was also named a YMCA/YWCA Woman of Distinction.
She is married with four daughters. If her house was on fire and the kids and dog were safe, she'd grab her passport.

Hello to all the homebrewers reading this. I have been brewing for about a year now, only completed 10 or so batches and looking to try my first all-grain when I get a free weekend. I've been following this site for a couple months and just officially signed up. The intention of my first post comes to you with a favor, so I hope your game. I've been doing research at local (Atlanta) breweries and beer conventions but the process is taking forever so I'm hoping that this method speeds things up. The reason for these questions? Me and 4 fellow MBA classmates are trying to launch a business that caters to the homebrewer. I really can't expand any further at this time in fear of swaying your true responses. For those curious, I"ll expand further after the response rate drops. But please take the time to read and answer the following questions to help us define the homebrewer customer profile. Thanks in advance! 1. What do you enjoy most about brewing? 2. What do you enjoy least about brewing? 3. Why do you brew? 4. When do you brew the most? (time of year, month, week, and/or day) 5. Where do you brew?
Well, I'm killing time while I wait for a detector to cool down, so I'll play along. 1. recipe formulation 2. cleaning 3. because I enjoy making food and beverages by hand that I, and others, enjoy. 4. year round, Saturdays or Sundays. Frequency probably the highest in spring and fall. 5. at home, on my back porch
1) The potential for customization. I like that I can take any beer out there, and try to recreate it. Or, I can make something up that I've never heard of and see if it's any good. 2) Waiting. Let's see you cater to that need. You'll be millionaires in a second if you can. 3) I brew because I can, and because I find it a relaxing and enjoyable pasttime. I also like the freshness and quality I can recreate by homebrewing. 4) I brew in the first half of the week, almost any time I have an empty fermenter. 5) My brother's garage. We share equipment and each brew our own 5 gallon batch every brew session.
1. The peacefulness of brew day. 2. Cleaning 3. The satisfaction of making a beer that everyone likes to drink. Then doing it again, better. 4. All year, weekends. Once or twice a month. 5. My garage
Tony Rescue Dog Brewing
1) Seeing my imagination turn to reality as each new recipe comes together in the finished product. 2) Cleaning 3) I have a passion for beer and want my beer to be fresh and exactly how I want it 4) When I need beer 5) Either at home or in whichever brewery I happen to be working in at the time
"Why did you.... what was the point of... how drunk were you when you decided this was a good idea?" - DMartin
1. The look on a friends face when they try one of my brews, followed by "damn that's good" 2. Cleaning (seems to be a pattern here) 3.

ast/sgot alt/sgpt Jul 15, 2007 my ast/sgot is 117 (range 4-40) and my alt/sgpt is 241 (range 4-40). I have chronic hepititis b but now my doctor wants to do another test in 3 months. He didn't explain anything and his nurse just gave me a 5 second result call. Infact I had to call them. My question is how bad are these numbers? thanks |
Response from Dr. McGovern
I would certainly want to test you earlier than that if these are the only blood tests available. I would want to see if the trend is going higher or lower. The blood tests don't tell us about scarring of the liver. A liver biopsy is helpful in this regard. | ||||||||||

USTA to Fund Research Into Cobalt Use The United States Trotting Association said June 16 it will fund a project designed to develop regulatory controls for the use of cobalt in racehorses. Cobalt is used to stimulate red blood cell production. USTA officials said the substance is being detected in all breeds of racehorses. The research will be performed by Dr. George Maylin of the New York Drug Testing and Research Program at Morrisville State College in New York. He will be assisted by Dr. Karyn Malinowski and Dr. Ken McKeever, the director and associate director, respectively, of the Equine Science Center at Rutgers University in New Jersey. "It has become obvious that in all racing breeds the presence of cobalt is being detected," USTA president Phil Langley said in a release. "Since it is a naturally occurring substance, the question that arises is when the amount is natural and when is it added to a horse's system to enhance performance. We believe this research will give all breeds a standard that will withstand any court challenges." Maylin said he initiated discussions with the USTA and Joe Faraldo, president of the Standardbred Owners of New York and a USTA director. "Cobalt has been rumored to be used with horses for a number of years," Maylin said. "It started perhaps six or seven years ago. So we started delving into the literature and did research. It became apparent that cobalt was getting widespread use, but only recently has there been concern in horses." Maylin said the research requires new testing equipment. "We now have a state-of-the-art instrument, the Agilent 8800 Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer ICP-MS, that we are going to get access to lease for five years and have to a way to pay for it, thanks to the USTA." Maylin said he hopes the results of the research are available by the end of this summer. In 2009, the Ontario Racing Commission issued the following notice on cobalt, according to RCI.

Clitoraid Deplores the Death of Kenyan Teenager FGM Victim and Urges Kenyan Health Ministry to Open Clitoral Restoration Hospital
April 23 2014, category:
Press Releases
Las Vegas, - April 21, 2014. Following the tragic death of a thirteen-year old Kenyan girl after undergoing female genital mutilation (FGM) last Monday, Clitoraid urges Mr. James Macharia Kenya's Cabinet Secretary for Health to open Kenya's first Clitoral Repair Hospital.
"FGM reversal surgery will be a powerful deterrent to this barbaric and dangerous practice" says Nadine Gary, Communications Director for Clitoraid. "Why do something that can easily be undone?". See
of before and after surgical results courtesy of Clitoraid volunteer head surgeon, Dr. Bowers:
Clitoraid who is in the final stages of opening a Clitoral repair state-of-the-art clinic in Burkina Faso, organized a humanitarian mission in Bobo Dioulasso last month where 38 FGM patients recovered their clitoris thanks to the volunteer work of 4 US doctors who traveled to the West African country to offer the surgery.
"The same humanitarian mission must be organized in Kenya in the shortest delay" insists Gary. "Countless FGM victims from Kenya have been writing to us begging us to provide the service in Kenya and to give them back a sense of dignity and pleasure".
A letter has been addressed to Mr. James Macharia where Clitoraid offers to come and train a Kenyan surgeon free of charge willing to learn the surgical technique.
"No time can be wasted, we must act at once and save lives!" concluded Gary.
The announcement of the opening of the Pleasure Hospital in Burkina Faso was very revitalizing for our Swiss Clitoraid team members.
April 10 2014, category:
Press Releases
Despite pressure from the Catholic Church to prevent the opening of the Pleasure Hospital on March 7, Clitoraid was still able to carry out the inauguration of the building, and the beginning of its operations at another hospital in Bobo Dioulasso.
Following this the Swiss Clitoraid Association carried out demonstrations outside the Burkina Faso Embassy on March 7 to express its indignation and disappointment.
Then, without losing sight of our goal, two donation collects for the Pleasure Hospital were made successfully at the Nyon market on Saturday March 15 and 29, during which 2,120 Swiss Francs were amassed.
Our booths set up to collect donations allowed us to be in touch with those who donated and who were very pleased to see that their money actually saves lives and gives all the women who are victims of FGM the opportunity to start a new life. These donors also showed tremendous support and appreciation for the work that we do for the victims of female circumcision and genital mutilation. I take this opportunity to thank them for their generosity and for their unconditional support.
And given the sensitivity of the subject, we are led to ask ourselves why the Burkina Faso government does not put the health and dignity of women who are victims of genital mutilation first?
Clitoraid surgeries thwarted by Burkina Faso's revocation of doctors' licenses
March 13 2014, category:
Press Releases
LAS VEGAS, March 14 - Medical licenses previously granted to the American medical staff of Clitoraid, a nonprofit organization that helps victims of female genital mutilation obtain clitoral repair surgery, have been revoked in Burkina Faso due to "blatant discrimination against the Raelian Movement," according to a statement released today by Clitoraid.
"Although granted earlier with no problem, our doctors' licenses were revoked after they had completed just one week of operations," said Dr. Brigitte Boisselier, president of Clitoraid and spokesperson for the Raelian Movement. "We couldn't open our new, fully-equipped Kamkaso Hospital last week after the health minister refused to sign promised documents. That was bad enough, but our doctors were able to operate at another hospital. This latest blow, revoking their licenses for what the health ministry called 'undisclosed irregularities,' confirms there is organized discrimination against us."
The existence of such discrimination was confirmed by Mr. Sebgo, health minister himself, Boisselier said.
He told the Thompson Reuters Foundation news agency: "Medical organisations should be focused on saving lives and not advertising their religion in an attempt to convert vulnerable people." Boisselier remarks: "In a country that hosts Christian and Muslim hospitals, that statement is highly discriminatory. It's also absurd. Although inspired by Rael, spiritual leader of the Raelian Movement, Clitoraid is entirely independent from the Movement. And we would never proselytize in a hospital. Women who come to us seeking medical services and support, which is what our professional medical staff provides. The religious affiliations of our medical team members are varied as well as irrelevant. We often don't even know what they are."
She said the Clitoraid team was also upset to learn that Burkina Faso's minister of female affairs, Madame Nestorine Sangare, had made the comment, "To live without the clitoris isn't the end of the world."
"When a woman bleeds to death from being cut, that is indeed the end of her world," Boisselier said. "And when she suffers intolerable pain with each sexual encounter, that too is the end of the world, since no one should have to live in pain to satisfy an ancestral custom. Or even worse, that she should have to continue living with that pain merely because those who offer to stop it are members of a religious minority."
Boisselier praised Clitoraid's volunteer surgeons and other medical staff.
"Despite the turmoil following their arrival, we're extremely grateful that such highly trained professionals volunteered to care for those seeking our help," Boisselier said. "They successfully operated on 29 women during the week their licenses were still valid, and they also trained a Burkinabe surgeon to do the procedure. So the other 50 women scheduled for surgery with us will still be able to have it."
Other women saw their hopes for the free repair surgery vanish when the American volunteer surgeons lost their right to operate in Burkina Faso.
"It was heartbreaking," Boisselier said. "Two women came all the way from Senegal, with one in constant pain. We hope the newly trained surgeon can operate on her."
Clitoraid and the AVFE association (Clitoraid's local partner) have engaged a law firm to deal with the defamation allegations and matters of denied or revoked licenses.
"The discriminatory aspects will also be added to our pending file at the United Nations Rapporteur on Human Rights and Religious Discrimination," Boisselier said. "That file lists the many cases of discrimination suffered by the Raelian Movement in French-speaking countries."
Clitoraid organizes demonstrations in front of Burkina Faso Embassies around the world on March 7, 2014

Press Releases
Vancouver, Canada
By David Dunsmore
After hearing the appalling actions by the Catholic Church and Burkinabe Government to stop the opening of the Clitoraid hospital in Burkina Faso therefore denying some eighty women the free right to have their dignity and sexuality returned to them,the Vancouver Raelian's demonstrated out front of the Burkinabe Consulate in Vancouver.
After hand delivering a letter at the consulate, we notified them that we will be protesting at their front door for a few hours with signs and handing out pamphlets informing the public.
ALL the people in the streets were very supportive of our actions, most people were not surprised to hear once again... more negative actions by the Catholic Church and denouncing the freedom and rights of women to have sexual freedom.
We handed out all our pamphlets, many people came to us after seeing the sign and thanked us for standing up and being there.
Rome, Italy
By Antonietta Tuzzi, head of Clitoraid in Italy
Nine of us met at the Burkina Faso Embassy in Rome, all of Raelian faith and active for many years in fundraising venues to help fund Clitoraid's hospital in Burkina Faso.
Our group was led by Antonietta Tuzzi, Head of Clitoraid in Italy. Ms Tuzzi had met the First Lady of Burkina Faso, Mrs. Chantal Campaore at an international symposium on FGM in Rome last year and was eager to meet with ambassador about this matter that goes against everything the First Lady has been fighting for to eradicate FGM in her country.
Our protest started promptly at 10:30am and ended at noon as agreed with the authorities.
Police officers kindly supervised our event. They first prevented us from approaching the embassy contrary to what was originally agreed with them but they later allowed us to get closer.
We held our poster and give out many flyers explaining our protest.
Then, the police commissioner escorted Ms. Tuzzi inside the embassy to deliver the letter to the ambassador who was expecting her. She explained to him the nature of our protest and handed him the letter.
Toronto, Canada
By Patrick Rhein, Clitoraid Representative in Toronto
In Toronto, on Friday March 7, a small group of four Toronto residents , Diane Brisebois, Louise Turcotte, Gisèle Gagné and Patrick Rhein faced the cold weather in front of the Burkina Faso consulate to change the negative influences that have created some challenges in that country.
We distributed numerous flyers during two hours around lunch time. Some people were interested and supported our cause. They said that what we were doing was important and many were curious to go and visit our website to find out more about our hospital.
Just before we left, I brought our letter to the consul but he was unavailable to discuss in details so Mrs. Diane Brisebois- Henning, the wife of Dr. Henning, will set up an appointment to see him in the upcoming week and hopefully get his support to reverse the discriminatory decision of the BF government. Dr. Henning is one of the two volunteer surgeons who flew to Burkina Faso to operate on FGM women. Yesterday, Dr. Henning saw his temporary licence to practice medicine in Burkina Faso suddenly revoked by the Board of Doctors of that country. Their reason? "irregularities in their file that was not detected earlier". The three other US volunteer doctors were prevented from practicing medicine in BF in the same way. Mrs Brisebois-Henning will have much to discuss with the consul next week.
It was great to be in action for this wonderful cause and I am sure that all the seeds we are planting are creating a ripple effect of awareness and change on the planet.
By Nadia Salois
30 people marched early this morning in front of the building where the Burkina Faso consulate is located.
Daniel Turcotte, Modjé and I met Attorney Gérard Coulombe, the honorary consul in person. Thanks to the lobbying of Gabriel Bluteau, we were able to obtain a personal appointment with him. Our meeting lasted 30 minutes. Attorney Coulombe, was surprised of what happened, as he was aware of this reality about the excision and didn't understand why his government was preventing our hospital from opening. He also knew personally the First Lady who has been directly involved for many years in the mission of helping women victims of FGM. In fact, Mrs. Chantal Compaore was in Montreal in 2008, giving many conferences about that subject and Mr. Coulombe met her at that time. He does not understand why she declined the invitation to preside at the opening of the hospital. He has the intention of finding out.
He told us he will contact the actual ambassador in Ottawa, and Mrs Juliette Bonkourgou (ex-embassador of Burkina Faso in Ottawa). She is back in Burkina Faso and apparently has big political influence.
Attorney Coulombe will communicate with Modjé following his research. He is a very nice man who is well informed about the African culture. He also asked us to keep him posted on the development of our project.
Ottawa, Canada
By Helen Munger, Event Coordinator
We went to protest outside the Burkina Faso Embassy in Ottawa, Canada. There were 10 of us, playful and happy to be there for our African sisters. For years, many of us gave countless hours of our time to organize and collect donations for the opening of this wonderful hospital that repairs the harm done to thousands of women who don't have the means to regain their integrity and their dignity at no charge.
Armed with a firm conviction, this is the very reason why – as representatives of the Canadian capital – Mr. Rolland Gaudette and myself went to meet with the ambassador.
The Embassy hadn't responded to our written request for an interview with the ambassador but as we arrived at the event, the Canadian Republican Guard police officer told us that our request had been granted. It was interesting to see how everything unfolded. We were left standing at the entrance until the ambassador came down to meet us. There were a dozen people around him, including two people who filmed us throughout the interview. Two women were standing at the far end of the corridor watching us too.
The ambassador explained that certain steps needed to be taken before issuing a license and that, in no way, did it have anything to do with religious discrimination. He told us that his government was doing everything it can to stop FGM. We felt a certain discomfort on the part of the ambassador. On the other hand, the other men around him expressed very warm smiles. When our representatives left, they were accompanied by one of their counselors who told us that the government had never done anything to impede on Raelians and their activities. He said he was pleased with our approach and that it was going to help them.
Once back in the street, a passerby came to us to learn more and asked many questions. She is a University student in international relations. A photographer with the newspaper Ottawa Citizen took many pictures and told us there was a story on FGM that was under way and they would include us in the story.
Brussels, Belgium
By Marie Helene Trigalet, leader of Clitoraid Belgium.
There were 9 of us at the protest expressing our indignation on the ban against the opening of the Pleasure Hospital.
The team made an encouraging contact and spoke with a Burkinabe individual. As for me, I made it inside the embassy. I had an appointment scheduled with Mrs. Narré, representative of the ambassador. I was very kindly greeted and I handed a folder on Clitoraid, the letter to the ambassador and two copies of the press release.
The secretary of the ambassador was surprised and expressed her regret for what happened in her country. She was astonished to learn that it was under pressure from Catholics because circumcision is a custom practiced predominantly in sub-Saharan Muslim communities. If the ambassador had not been traveling she would have granted me an interview with him. Mission accomplished!
Thanks to all those who were present and for coming all this way to support and defend women's rights. The struggle for human rights is far from over. On this first day of Women's Day this is another example of how we must remain vigilant.
I love this quote: "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." Edmund Burke. So let us arm ourselves with love and the desire for the Good to triumph.
Introduction by Mariella Cossu, leader of Clitoraid France
The Clitoraid French team and the Raelian Movement came together to raise awareness at the Burkina Faso Embassy in Paris and five Burkinabe Consulates in different regions of the Hexagon to show their dissatisfaction with the prohibition of opening of the Kamkaso Pleasure Hospital built by CLITORAID in Bobo Dioulasso.
Thus, 15 demonstrators, some of whom came from the West of France, personally delivered a formal letter to the Ambassador's assistants in Paris. Fliers were distributed and someone with ties to the Vatican Ambassador in France was also present and was shocked to learn that the refusal to open the hospital was caused by the Catholic Church. He promised he would write to the Holy See ....
For other regions in France, the same letter was handed out at Consulates in Nice, Marseille, Lyon and Bordeaux.
A call to action was also sent to all our regional mailing lists that counts several thousand supporters and Raelians asking them to write to the Embassy and different Consulates to accelerate the process of the hospital's opening.
On the lobbying front, several celebrities were contacted by Françoise Delcoustal on behalf of Clitoraid. And speaking of personality, Miss Princess Loona who has very good relations with the famous humorist Dieudonné went to inform him of this event and as you can imagine he was not at all surprised by the opposition.
Of course, social networking was also a venue and the news was also broadcasted on Facebook in the Rhône Alpes region, see photos.
So, overall it was a successful action on this historic day of March 7, which celebrated the opening of the first hospital specialized in clitoral reconstruction spurred by a wonderful idea of Maitreya Rael.
Critics did not believe it, but one thing for sure is that they were able to see that we keep our promises and we are reliable when it comes to improving humanity's living conditions.
Rotterdam, Holland
By Monica Marcucci
On the 7th of March a member of my team delivered the letter at the Honorary Consulate of Burkina Faso in Rotterdam (even if it has not been possible to speak directly with the Consul).
La Vega, Dominican Republic
By Kundaliny Diaz Rojas, D.R head of Clitoraid
Our team decided to organize a demonstration in our city though no Burkina Faso embassy nor Consulate are present on our island. We distributed 1,000 flyers informing the public of Burkina Faso and the Catholic church stopping Clitoraid from opening its Pleasure Hospital in Bobo Dioulasso.

It's easy. Step one: Buy credit default swaps. Step two: Sue to have company whose CDS you own put into bankruptcy against its will and before your swaps expire.
Elliott Management Corp. has been adding to derivatives trades that would pay off if Caesars Entertainment Corp. defaults as the hedge fund helps orchestrate a bankruptcy plan for the casino operator's biggest unit, according to two people with knowledge of the trading.

Editorial: Council should OK incentive for Kimberly-Clark
Kimberly-Clark Corp. is moving out of downtown Knoxville but not completely out of the city, provided city officials sign off on a tax break for the company.
Kimberly-Clark has sold its downtown building and plans to move into the former Goody's headquarters building in West Knoxville.
If the deal goes forward, the company would spend an estimated $3.2 million to improve the long-vacant Goody's building.
The company has asked for a payment-in-lieu-of-tax (PILOT) agreement on an additional $4.5 million in furnishings and fixtures — personal property in tax jargon — to cement the deal.
City Council is to vote on the PILOT at tonight's meeting and should approve the measure as a way to keep a marquee employer and its 333 jobs in the city for the foreseeable future.
The PILOT agreement calls for the company to pay $100,000 to the Industrial Development Board over five years instead of paying its city and county personal property taxes.
The tax break doesn't cover the real property taxes — the Goody's building is owned by SJW Land Company, which would lease space to Kimberly-Clark.
The PILOT is a reasonable incentive to offer a long-time corporate resident that would otherwise move out of the city or perhaps out of Knox County entirely.
Kimberly-Clark is a Fortune 500 company that makes Kleenex tissues, Huggies diapers and other household, health and personal items. Based in Dallas, the international company's Knoxville office is its North American Shared Services Headquarters. The Knoxville office was established in 1990.
The company sold its 12-story downtown office building — at a loss — earlier this year to Knoxville investor Fred Langley for $3.55 million. Company officials cited parking shortages as the primary reason for the move.
Kimberly-Clark launched a regional search for its shared services operations, according to city documents, which means executives would be looking outside Knoxville and Knox County — and perhaps out of East Tennessee entirely — for a new location. No doubt the company could find many suitors among communities trying to spur their recovery from the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression.
Fortunately for Knoxville, company officials identified the former Goody's headquarters — a highly visible office building adjacent to Interstate 40/75 — as an attractive site, provided it receives an incentive to stay.
That Knoxville has the opportunity to keep the company in town is a positive development, and the amount of tax revenue at stake is small compared to the benefits of keeping a good corporate citizen with jobs that pay an average of $80,000 a year.
City Council should approve the PILOT. Giving the company an incentive to stay is appropriate and should result in a long-term commitment from a stellar company that would benefit the city and county for years to come.

Puppet show shorts, 11/27/2014
Reviewer: Sandra Hartwig (Greymouth, New Zealand)
I am yet to make the tunic, but have made 3 pairs of the wee shorts for my granddaughter. Getting the pockets right was such a confidence booster. I plan to try the tunic next
Cute outfit, 10/23/2014
Reviewer: Kerrilyn (NSW, Australia)
I have made 3 of these tops for my 5 yo. The only draw back for an independent little girl is that she can't reach the buttons to do it up her self, but she loves wearing them. I added an inch to the shorts length and it worked well. Those pockets are so cute. And as always the instructions are comprehensive.
Dress review, 9/2/2014
Reviewer: Janie Sims (Augusta, Ga, USA)
The pattern is wonderful. The cuff on the sleeves was the only challenge and did not turn out as well as I expected
Beautiful, but sizing is tricky, 7/7/2014
Reviewer: Katy (TN, USA)
I just finished this up for my almost two year old. I love it and I expect I will make several more. I read the reviews before I cut it out, so I measured my child carefully, including her thighs to make sure to make the right size. I made a size 2 for my 26 pound, 33 inch tall 22 month old. Her measurements on the Oliver and S size chart ranged from 12-18 month (waist and weight) to size 2 (height), so I thought the 2 would be a safe bet. The tunic is a bit large (great- room to grow!). The shorts fit, but I would prefer more ease or something. I don't think they will fit her for long. Next time I plan to make the size 3 shorts or use a smaller seam allowance all around. Definitely worth a second try. Also, Oliver and S has the best digital downloads. I have several of the paper patterns and am tempted to re-purchase them as digital. I like to print the instructions and bind them into a book. Makes it easy to refer to while sewing!
Looks lovely, newborn tunic not worth the effort, 3/4/2014
Reviewer: Angie (Mount Waverley, VIC, Australia)
So this is the second Oliver & S pattern that I have made. I was excited as it was one of the few patterns that had a newborn size, so I could make something for my 7 week old girl to wear "now". She is on the 50th percentile so literally "of average size for her age", and measures well for the 0-3 month size pattern. I made the shorts first, and they fit perfectly. The waist measurement is that of her waist (37") and is a squeeze to get on around her nappy. (I wouldn't dream of trying with her cloth nappies, only disp.) Having said that, they look superb on, and were pretty straight forward to make. I can see how they can be a summer wardrobe staple :) I will be making more for sure for many years!!! ( I may have to extend the back inseam for a cloth nappy and perhaps blend sizes for the waist) The Tunic/ Dress.... This is definitely where the higher scissor rating comes from. I made the Tunic as the dress pattern pieces were almost as long as my child, more like a christening gown length. I slowly worked my way through the bodice and collar, and at a few points actually looked at what I was sewing and thought "Oh I am so glad for the detailed instructions" as I couldn't tell what it was!! I again made the smallest size, and barely got the little cuffs through the sewing machine (and the overlocker, oh my!!) I used snaps instead of buttons, and am glad as I don't think I could have done button holes on the tiny cuffs. If doing buttons I would probably make the button holes before the cuffs are sewn on. Regardless, the instructions are great (although I did read a few parts a few times) and the Tunic is soo cute!! The finished Tunic is very long (more like a dress), and the cuffs cannot be done up once on. The neck opening is the size of my daughters neck, so the top button has to be open to be worn. I am going to save this pattern (Tunic Dress) for an older age, and I think I may again blend between sizes. It is a great pattern and both pieces look great, I would suggest that you measure the child you are sewing for before you begin though :)
Determining Which Printing You Have
As errata are discovered, they are marked for correction in subsequent printings of the pattern. To determine which printing of an instruction sheet or pattern sheet you have, look at the copyright box which appears on each. Toward the bottom of the box, there is a series of numbers. The lowest number you see there indicates which printing you have. For example, if the lowest number in the box on the instruction sheet is "2," you have an instruction sheet from the second printing. Any errors in the instructions mentioned for the first printing have been corrected in your version. If the lowest number in the box on the pattern sheet is "1," you have a copy of the pattern sheet from the first printing. Pattern sheets and instructions sheets can be printed separately, so be sure to check the errata notices for pattern pieces against the printing number on the pattern sheet and errata notices for instructions against the printing number on the instruction sheet.
