Comedian Whitney Cummings has a lot going on this Fall - not only is she a writer and creator of CBS's new series 2 Broke Girls, but she also stars in NBC sitcom Whitney. To wit, NBC entertainment chairman Robert Greenblatt introduced her as "TV's It girl," and the funny lady talked about how she's dividing up her schedule. She joked her way through the Whitney TCA panel as she, her fellow cast members, and showrunners talked about the new comedy, which focuses on the happily unmarried couple of Cummings's character and her boyfriend, Alex, played by Chris D' Elia.

"Negros Occidental: Sugarland of the Philippines" Province of Negros Occidental by cyndymc
Province of Negros Occidental Travel Guide: 78 reviews and 340 photos
Negros Occidental has earned the title of "Sugarland" being the country's largest sugar producer and supplier. However, the province is more than about sugar. Negros Occidental has become synonymous with the people's smiling faces, their dialect spoken in a unique, sweet melodious tone, their rich heritage, impressive arts and crafts, festive celebration of fiestas, architectural gems like churches, rich natural resources and beautiful mountain resorts, and much more. Negros Occidental has now become one of the country's prime tourist destinations, sought by both local and foreign tourists.
Negros Occidental is one of the five provinces that compose Western Visayas or Region VI, located in the northwestern portion of Negros Island, the fourth biggest island in the Philippine archipelago. If you look at the map of the Philippines, you will find it near the central part of the country. The Visayan Sea bounds the Province on the north , and the Sulu Sea on the south. Negros Occidental is southeast of Panay Island, with the Guimaras Strait separating the two islands.
The Island of Negros was formerly called "Buglas", which meant "cut-off" in the people's old native dialect. It was the old folks' belief that Negros Island was actually a part of a larger landmass, but during the glacial age, it was cut off, an occurrence caused by rising waters or what geologists refer to as a continental drift. The Island's name was changed to Negros when the Spaniards came in April 1565 and saw its earliest inhabitants, the dark-skinned natives belonging to the Negrito ethnic group. Thus, as in any other place of the country, the Spaniards referred to the place based on what they first saw, and the Island then became known as Negros. Though one island, Negros was further divided into Negros Occidental and Negros Oriental.

Did the Ninja win this debate or the Muslim woman calling to ban against burka?
In my opinion, if the woman willingly chooses to wear a burka, she becomes a ninja.
If the woman, does not wish to wear it, but wears it because of law and society regulation, she has now become enslaved.
What's your opinion?
Ninja or Slave?

Exceptionally crafted, this diamond engagement ring showcases two beautifully matched pear-shaped diamonds prong-set in platinum to frame your center diamond. 1/2 carat total diamond weight.
The setting is beautiful and scales well through a fairly good sized center stone.
Andrew C, DUBLIN, CA – December 2014
This setting is classic and elegant, but really only works for skinny fingers because of how the band is tapered in towards the pear diamonds. I wear a 6.5 but the ring did not make my finger look too flattering. Overall, this is a great setting. Just remember that the pears on each side will be about 1/4 ct. and a huge center stone may overshadow them.
Anonymous, BOWIE, MD – March 2014
First of all, let me say the ring is absolutely beautiful and of very high quality. I'm sure she'll love it. Just to point out 2 things on this ring - first the center stone is set very high. The top down picture is quite deceiving - make sure to check out the side view. Also, the proportions of center stone to side stones in the slightly off. I got a 1.4 ct center stone, and the .25 pear shaped stones looked pretty small next to it (looked much larger in the pic). BN should offer a 1/3 ct or 1/2 ct pear option.

All Critics (12) | Top Critics (7) | Fresh (10) | Rotten (2)
But for all it's faults in title, plotting and editing, The Imperialists Are Still Alive! contains the promise of a distinct female voice in independent cinema.
With The Imperialists Are Still Alive!, writer-director Zeina Durra has made a quirkily appealing film which intriguingly manages to feel both slight and authentically weighty at the same time.
Nothing is resolved in the film, but Bouchez and De Tavira are exceptionally paired, and attuned to Durra's easygoing intellectual eros shorn of dramatics.
If it accomplishes one thing, it is that Durra shows herself to be an exciting young director. She has a sense of style and a sense of character. And her film has a lot of character because of it.
The first-time director's refreshingly credible portrait of a boho character with Middle Eastern origins rectifies the aforementioned canonical gap in a witty, naturalistic generational snapshot.
The Imperialists Are Still Alive! is an admirable film in many ways as its young writer-director, Zeina Durra, explores a subculture right before our eyes that remains mostly unseen.
A New York artist of Middle Eastern background tries to mesh resistance and romance in Zeina Durra's '70s-textured seriocomic debut.
Too concerned with being cool to work up much in the way of political outrage, much less narrative drive.
A multicultural vision of urbanity coalesces that is very different from that of a typical movie of impoverished immigrants trying to assimilate in an outer borough.
The film is ultimately more interesting than engaging; Durra doesn't yet have a grasp of the simultaneous warmth and needle-sharp satirical sense that infuse Stillman's films.
Occasionally, Durra loses her nerve and spells out her intentions, but she's at her best when both her commentary and her comedy are nearly imperceptible.
The filmmaker reserves her very gentle satire for the blithe, class-based assumptions of wealthy Middle Eastern expatriates and the macho traditions of their poorer fellow-�migr�s.
Audience Reviews for The Imperialists Are Still Alive!
Another art film I was able to see at the Cleveland Institute of Art's Cinematheque. I knew nothing about it beforehand besides the blurb printed in the Cinematheque's calendar, which said it was inspired by the films of Whit Stillman. And that didn't help me out because I am not familiar with his films. Anyways, I gave it a shot and found it funny at times. Usually funny in the way that reality shows are funny because it is awkward watching spoiled self-important types show off how spoiled and self-important they are. There is a heart buried under the story of these glamorous hipster types though too. Elodie Bouchez as Asya is an artist born in France whose parents are of Middle Eastern decent. She learns that an ex-boyfriend was possibly abducted or at least has been prevented from leaving the Middle East when a military coup occurs. In a post-9/11 world the CIA suspects nearly everyone of Middle Eastern decent of potential terrorism. The ex-boyfriend's brother Karim still lives near Asya in Manhattan and is protective toward her. Asya's friend Tatiana was engaged to marry the ex-boyfriend very soon. Will he survive? Will he make it home to America? While all this is worrying Asya she goes about her life. After an art show including some of her work, she meets Javier, played by Jose Maria de Tavira, a Mexican law student. As they become closer, their circle of friends (and humorously whoever else wants to latch on to their young ritzy life) continue to go clubbing where there is always one friend too drunk to get home or to the next bar alone. The chemistry between Elodie and Jose is strong as their relationship develops. They laugh when they go on a date to a dance recital, just the two of them, because the dance is impossibly pretentious, but they seem unaware that their lifestyle is often just as pretentious. The pace and story challenge expectations in a good way, but I didn't always find it very meaningful.

OCEAN, N.J., March 6, 2012 -- Compliance automation tools developer, RISC Associates, announces the release of Enterprise Program Manager(TM) (EPM) 2.0, a dashboard-driven Risk, Audit, Compliance and IT Management program.
"EPM 2.0 has been modularized and enhanced to address the individual needs of Risk, Audit, Compliance and IT professionals while still providing a view of all initiatives enterprise-wide for senior management," stated Mick Kless, President of RISC Associates. "The addition of qualitative risk criteria, risk weighting, dimensions of risk and heat maps have turned the EPMrisk module into an outstanding ERM tool. The EPMaudit module has been greatly enhanced with new features and a charting package making it the ideal audit management tool with reports suitable for senior management and the Audit Committee," continued Kless.
"Add in EPMreviewer for automated management and scheduling of Filings, Disclosures, Policy and Standards Review, EPMtest for managing any type of technical testing and EPMexaminer for exam & audit preparation and you have an incredibly powerful automated enterprise management solution. Every module allows you to create, assign, track and manage remediation items as well. Whether you buy a single module or the entire suite, EPM is an extremely productive tool for any size organization."
"Being able to integrate Audits, Assessments, Tests and Reviews and aggregate results enterprise-wide is a huge advantage that EPM brings to the table and solves a major challenge faced by most organizations," noted David Schneier, Managing Director of Product Development. "It's the ideal solution for anyone who wishes to keep their thumb on the pulse of the enterprise. Instead of tracking multiple spreadsheets, relying upon phone calls, emails and endless meetings to understand the status of departmental silos, one look at the EPM dashboard tells the entire story enterprise-wide. There is no better tool for understanding where you stand in terms of meeting your Regulatory, Corporate and Departmental goals. I've been working on audit, risk and compliance projects since 1991 and EPM would have had a dramatic impact on every one of them from SEC to SOX to GLBA to HIPAA to QMSSA to ROHS and everything in between. EPM instantly pays for itself."
Enterprise Program Manager(TM) is fully customizable and comes with a wide variety of pre-populated and fully editable industry-standard audits, assessments, reviews and tests. Charts, pre-formatted reports and Ad Hoc reporting are also included. Existing audit, compliance and risk programs can easily be imported into EPM and any electronic file can be attached to any record.
About RISC Associates
RISC Associates is a regulatory compliance consultancy that develops compliance automation tools including the industry-leading Vendor Compliance Manager(TM) vendor management program. RISC also provides a variety of professional services to help its clients meet regulatory requirements.
EPM 2.0 Revolutionizes Enterprise Risk, Audit, Compliance & IT Management

The Post reported on President Obama's assertion that it is necessary to make large cuts in projected deficits, telling readers:
"Obama weighed in Tuesday, noting that a remarkable bipartisan consensus has emerged about the scope and severity of the nation's debt problem. 'Most of us already agree that to truly solve our deficit problem, we need to find trillions in savings over the next decade, and significantly more in the decades that follow,'"
It would have been more appropriate to use the term "asserting" rather than "noting."
Noting implies that the claim that President Obama is making about a consensus is true. It is not.
People familiar with economics know that the main reason that the country is facing large budget deficits is because of the economic crisis created by the collapse of the housing bubble. Contrary to President Obama's assertion, the main way to solve the deficit problem is to get the economy back to full employment.
This is yet another case where the Post has ignored journalistic standards in a front page story to foist its editorial position on readers.

Coors Field
Attendance: None
Denver, CO (Sports Network) - Ian Stewart went 2-for-4 and hit a three-run homer during a seven-run sixth inning for the Rockies, who stormed back to take down San Francisco, 14-11, in the second test of a key four-game set at Coors Field.
Todd Helton hit a solo homer and drove in two other runs for the Rockies, who have won five of their last six games to take a two-game lead over the Giants in the NL Wild Card race. Dexter Fowler went 2-for-3 with two RBI and two runs scored. Troy Tulowitzki went 2-for-3 with an RBI and a pair of runs scored.
"Definitely. We've been down further than that and come back, so we know it can be done," said Fowler.
Jorge De La Rosa (12-8) got the win despite allowing six runs on eight hits with five strikeouts and a walk in six innings of work. He improved to 9-1 over his last 11 starts.
Ryan Garko hit a pair of two-run home runs for the Giants, who won 6-3 in the series opener on Friday. Pablo Sandoval went 3-for-5 with a two-run homer and Nate Schierholtz also hit a two-run blast. Aaron Rowand went 2-for-4 with a solo homer, two runs batted in, and two runs scored in defeat.
San Francisco starter Joe Martinez lasted five-plus frames, giving up six runs -- five earned -- on nine hits to take a no-decision. Justin Miller (2-2) allowed four runs on four hits with two walks while recording two outs to take the loss.
"They (Rockies) had a good night with the bats. This was a Coors Field game. We've seen it many times, with both sides swinging the bats, and getting hits and home runs. It was one of those wild games. We just couldn't stop the bleeding," said Giants manager Bruce Bochy.
Down 6-3, the Rockies exploded for seven runs in the sixth to go ahead 10-6. Tulowitzki and Brad Hawpe got things started with back-to-back singles. Stewart stepped to the plate and launched a Martinez offering over the left- field wall for a tie game.
Miller took over on the mound and got Clint Barmes to pop out for the first out. Yorvit Torrealba singled and came racing home on pinch-hitter Seth Smith's triple to right. Carlos Gonzalez walked and Smith was thrown out at home before Dexter Fowler's triple knocked in another run. Fowler then scored on Miller's wild pitch. Helton's solo shot into the right-field seats capped the impressive inning.
In the seventh, pinch-hitter Ryan Spilborghs hit a run-scoring single, then with the bases loaded both Fowler and Helton walked. Tulowitzki drove in another run with a sacrifice fly to make it 14-6.
Garko's two-run shot and Rowand's solo blast in the eighth cut the gap to five. Sandoval's two-run homer in the ninth accounted for the final margin.
Helton's groundout in the first inning scored Fowler, who tripled, to give Colorado the early edge.
The Giants responded with three runs in the second. Bengie Molina doubled and score two batters later when Rowand singled to left. Schierholtz stepped to the plate and deposited a De La Rosa offering over the right-field wall.
Garko's two-out, two-run home run to left in the third made it a 5-1 game and Randy Winn's RBI single in the top of the fourth put San Francisco ahead by five.
The Rockies plated a pair of runs in the bottom half. Tulowitzki singled and Hawpe doubled before Stewart hit a sac fly. Barmes followed with an RBI single.

I like it but its just a back case.. You would have to get something to protect the front of the phone....
The product looks nicer in person than the photo. If you like pink, the color is pretty accurate. The sparkles are not huge and not as small as I thought. They are big enough to give a little sparkle without looking like those larger rounded bejeweled looking cases, which I liked. It's just enough to catch the light and look nice, if this is your style. The case snaps on and is harder than another one I bought, but is not an extremely durable case made mainly for protection.

Re: Luff in the luff of main sail
The outhaul will help to flatten so that the sail isnt so easily 'backwinded'. Better is to slightly ease the jibsheet so that the 'slot' is operating at proper 'flow'; the stronger the wind the larger 'slot distance' between the main and jib is required; just the opposite when in light winds. You may also have to 'reset the location' of the jib fairlead car ... make sure that the jib luff is 'breaking' simultaneously along the entire jib luff after any other sail shape adjustment; although, if slight easing of the jibsheet doesnt correct the situation you may have no other choice but to move the jib fairlead car a wee bit more AFT (opens the jib leech).
Also too, tightening the backstay will cause the jib to become more 'draft forward' which causes the jib leech to 'open' and be further away from the main.
A little bit of so-called backwind is inconsequential, actually slight backwind may indicate perfect sail shape and trim .... so use your speedometer when making any adjustments to correct 'backwinding' as the highest speedo reading will validate 'perfect' sail shape and sail trim.

Adult and embryonic stem cells can be converted into kidney tubular cells using a method developed by researchers at the Harvard Stem Cell Institute and Brigham and Women's Hospital, according to a study in the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology. The team is the fourth to report the induction of cells that express the marker SIX2, which plays a key role in the differentiation of kidney cells. "It feels like we've been behind for a decade and suddenly within a few weeks, four papers come out. This should certainly spur interest and move the field more quickly," lead researcher Dr. Albert Lam said.

looking for help up wind
It''s an interesting conundrum you have. There''s a good amount of info in your message, but perhaps we need more info to diagnose what''s going on.
How does the rudder feel in a breeze? Do you have a lot of lee helm? Neutral? Weather helm?
You say the centerboard is definitely down. Have you had the boat hauled and verified that the board goes all the way down, to the point that the pennant goes slack? Perhaps the CB is hanging up on something partway down.
You say the boat will not gybe, correct? This is odd. How much of the rudder is in the water? Is the rudder a kick up rudder (does it pivot backwards)? Perhaps the boat is front loaded so much there is not enough rudder in the water. This problem may also go back to the question about the balance of sail forces and rudder forces on your boat (lee helm vs. weather helm). It''s hard to imagine being unable to gybe a boat if the main is first sheeted in to center the boom.
What about the condition of the hull (been cleaned lately?) Dragging a propeller or auxiliary motor in the water?
Maybe your best bet would be to ask a more experienced skipper (like a club racer) to come sailing with you to try and find out why your boat won''t handle well.

Even if there are noble ideals behind the war, it appears that war was and is not the way to realize those ideals. A gradual pullout, with the international community pressing for negotiations between the factions and Arab or neutral states providing some military support remains the best option. What if Bush simply said the US will leave in six months, provided negotiations to ensure peace and stability are underway? http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070412/ts_nm/iraq_dc_64 BAGHDAD (Reuters) - A suicide bomber killed three Iraqi lawmakers at a cafe in the parliament building on Thursday in the most serious breach of security in the heavily fortified Green Zone since the U.S.-led invasion in 2003. Witnesses said dozens had been hurt in the blast, which tore through the restaurant as many lawmakers were having lunch. Police said 10 people were wounded. How explosives and the bomber were smuggled into the Green Zone, a sprawling compound that is surrounded by U.S. and Iraqi checkpoints, will be the focus of investigations. The zone houses parliament, government offices and the U.S. embassy. Earlier, a truck bomb killed at least seven people on a main bridge in northern Baghdad, destroying most of the steel structure and sending several cars plunging into the River Tigris below, police said.
Depressing news for those who support the continuing surge. If they can't secure the Parliment in the Green Zone there is no hope for peace in the streets. What kind of message does this send to those few locals who are working toward forming a concensus?
I think now that we created the problem, we own it, and to pull out immediately would probably lead to slaughter as all the factions rushed in to try to take charge.

A national award recognized the zoo's work to fend off poachers and expand the black rhino's numbers and range in Namibia.
A black rhinoceros
After winning awards for exhibits the public actually sees, the Minnesota Zoo has gotten another for a major effort on the other side of the world.
At the annual gathering last week of the national Association of Zoos and Aquariums, the zoo was commended for Significant Achievement in International Conservation for efforts to save the black rhino in the African nation of Namibia.
The zoo, with local government and nonprofit partners, has worked for five years in the northwest Namibian region of Kunene to find ways to keep poachers away while using professional wildlife management strategies to help what it calls the world's largest free-ranging black rhino group grow, and have an expanded range on which to do so.
More information on the effort can be found on the website of a partner group of the zoo's, the Save the Rhino Trust, www.savetherhinotrust.org.
The rhino in its various forms is one of the more threatened animals on Earth, and the Minnesota Zoo has many partners in the fight to save rhinos.
News reports this summer out of Cincinnati have recorded efforts at that city's zoo to mate a brother and sister rhino, a sign of outright desperation.
"No one wants to breed siblings. It is something we strive to avoid, but when a species drops below 100 individuals, producing more offspring as quickly as possible trumps concerns about genetic diversity," zoo official Terri Roth told a local TV station. "We are down to the last male and female Sumatran rhino on the continent, and I am not willing to sit idle and watch the last of a species go extinct."
The Minnesota Zoo doesn't exhibit rhinos at present, but it hopes to under a new master plan for an African exhibit, mentioning a rhino "encounter [that] will offer magical moments for guests."
Zoo officials describe the downward arc of Africa's black rhino as "one of the most catastrophic species declines ever documented," adding that from 1970 to 1990, more than 95 percent were killed as part of an illegal trade in rhino horn.
The species is listed as critically endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, and continental extinction is considered possible within the next 20 years. □

President Barack Obama on Monday said the US Senate's approval for the landmark health care bill to extend the insurance coverage is a big victory for the people of America.
"The United States Senate knocked down a filibuster aimed at blocking a final vote on health care reform, and scored a big victory for the American people," Mr. Obama said in his first reaction, hours after the US Senate voted 60-40 to advance a massive USD 871 billion bill to extend coverage to nearly all Americans and tighten the regulations on the private insurers.
"By standing up to the special interests -- who've prevented reform for decades and who are furiously lobbying against it now -- the Senate has moved us closer to reform that makes a tremendous difference for families, for seniors, for businesses, and for the country as a whole," Mr. Obama said.
The health care bill, which has been passed by the House of Representatives earlier, is now expected to be passed by the US Senate on Christmas eve.
On one of the first procedural votes early this morning, all the 58 Democrats and two independents voted for the bill, while all the 40 Republicans against it.
"For those who have insurance, reform will mean greater security and stability. No longer will people with pre-existing conditions be excluded from coverage," he said.
Mr. Obama said under the provisions of the bill, seriously ill people will no longer be dropped from coverage.
"No longer will families be allowed to go broke because they're forced to pay exorbitant out-of-pocket expenses," Mr. Obama said.
Mr. Obama said provisions of the Patient's Bill of Rights that could not become an Act, are also embedded in the bill.
"Well, you know what, the Patient's Bill of Rights is embedded in this health care bill and -- to make sure that all Americans who have insurance right now are getting a fair deal from their insurance companies," Mr. Obama said.

T C 301 • New York City: A Multi-Cultural Literary PortraitW
Unique | Days | Time | Location | Instructor |
41045 |
TTh |
Course Description
This course will explore how New York City has fired the artistic imaginations of its many inhabitants, producing artworks that shape, construct, and interpret the capital of the world today. New York City, multi-cultural and deeply self-conscious of itself as a unique polis, constantly absorbs new ethnicities and evolves as a self-renewing urban configuration. The course will approach these changes both chronologically and thematically. It will move from Washington Irving's comic history of Dutch New Amsterdam up to contemporary Hispanic Harlem of Oscar Hijuelos, pass through Anglo Old New York of Edith Wharton and the white shoe society of Louis Auchincloss, emphasize the continuous Jewish-American presence, and interpret the unique contributions of three major ethnicities: the Irish, Italians, and African-Americans, the last of whom created the Harlem Renaissance. Recurrent themes to investigate include: New York vs. the rest of the country, the glamour of the city in contrast to its terrible poverty, urban loneliness and anomie vs. the attraction of the modernist city to newcomers, the central role of money and business, and the wonderment of the man-made environment. Post-colonial, feminist, and cultural-studies theories and methodologies will be introduced to illuminate many of the texts. We will also examine films, painting, sculpture, architecture, and music, including pieces from New York musicals.
About the Professor Professor Wolitz is a specialist in Twentieth-Century Comparative Literature and Media. He has published an opera as well as written libretti. He grew up in the milieu of Richard Tucker, Jan Pearce, and Rise Stevens. He was on stage at the Chicago Lyric Opera when Maria Callas caused a classic operatic scandal. Professor Wolitz has published books on Proust, French and Jewish Literature. He has also received one ACLS award and two Fulbright fellowships, the latter for research in Jerusalem during the 1991 Gulf War, where he attended an opera wearing a gas mask. He spent 2001-2002 living in Greenwich Village on a University Fellowship and working on theater. He holds a Ph.D. from Yale. He loves hunting for truffles in Dripping Springs and seeking out castles in Spain.

Bosnia, the "Romanian Model" , or not?
(Or neutral: Bosnian Laws)
Dear Sir / Madam,
As if one European animal holocaust were not enough, we are afraid that another one is around the corner, and it's looming in your potential member-country, Bosnia & Herzegovina. Tomorrow, 3rd of October, 2013, the Parliament of Bosnia & Herzegovina will vote on whether to replicate the Romanian 'Slaughter Law' and allow the killing of all stray animals!
On 3rd of October, 2013, the Bosnian parliament will vote on proposed changes to their animal welfare law, some of which include the rounding up of ALL homeless animals and killing them 2 weeks after capture!
Bosnia's animal protection law is an excellent, very comprehensive law, and there is, actually, no need to change it, unless, of course, one intends to change it for the worse.
Please allow us to resume the situation for you:
During the Bosnian War, Sarajevo was under siege from 1992 to 1995. There was exposed artillery, snipers, cold and hunger clinging on the international humanitarian aid. Having not enough food for themselves, many people abandoned their dogs and cats, while others put their companion animals before themselves - giving them the little food they got from humanitarian aid - and a lot of animals also found themselves all alone because their owners had been killed. Today, an estimated 12,000 abandoned dogs (according to official sources) live on the streets of Sarajevo; nobody knows the number of abandoned dogs in the entire country given that there are no records.
In 2009, the Bosnian government passed a law - which is a prerequisite for Bosnia & Herzegovina's EU membership - that protects straying animals by prohibiting the catching (collecting) and brutal killing of the dogs by municipal workers. Since then, it is prohibited to kill stray animals, except in cases determined by a veterinarian as the only possible measure.
The law furthermore says that owners are required to sterilize and register their pet animals. They must register them at a competent veterinarian, which will have a record of all ownership of dogs and cats - the deadline for registration being seven days after acquiring a dog or cat. For those who already had pet animals, the deadline was 6 months from the entry into force of the law. Thus October 8, 2009 was the deadline by which all owned dogs and cats had to be registered.
One year after the entry into force of the law, that was the deadline for the municipalities, cities, cantons or entities to build shelters for animals. But this part of the law was not applied in practice at all.
Before aggression, Bosnia and Herzegovina was among the middle economically developed countries but today is the poorest country in Europe because of careless corrupted local, regional and central governments that only care about their own pockets and it should be no surprise that some of the few government or municipal shelters are set up mostly as money laundering machines for the government and some private individuals in order to enable them to steel money.
The mentioned law, passed nearly five years ago banning the killing of strays, had actually been passed because the government was alarmed at a sharp rise in canine slaughter as straying dogs proliferated on Bosnian streets. But people ignored the law, largely because authorities failed to provide alternatives such as sterilization and the needed shelters to house the animals and to keep them off the streets... and so the killings continued.
The law from 2009 is actually a very good law, but it was adopted "over night" without anybody providing the conditions for its implementation. And without proper implementation the best laws are useless and not even worth the paper on which they are written!
The Republika Srpska does not even accept the law from 2009 - even though they were obliged to - and they work according to the old law from 2008, which gives them the right to kill dogs after a period of 30 days. They even don't fully comply to this old regulation and most often kill dogs as soon as possible. This happened at the Hresa-shelter end of 2012 when they killed 52 dogs in one night.
Since the country remains deeply divided along ethnic lines, different parts of Bosnia deal with the problem of strays in different ways. That's because the 1992-95 war between Bosnia's three groups, Bosniacs, Serbs and Croats, ended with a peace agreement that divided Bosnia into two semi-autonomous regions, linked by a weak central government. It's an arrangement that allows some local governments to pass their own dog-killing laws that contradict the nationwide ban.
Today, almost five years after the implementation of Bosnia's animal welfare law, and given that the government and the municipalities have failed to properly implement the law from 2009, it is no wonder that the problem has become huge and urgent. It can not be denied that 12,000 dogs living on the streets of Sarajevo alone, is a problem.
The culprits - next to careless dog owners that let their animals roam freely and mate as they wish and then simply abandon the puppies on the streets - sit in the government and municipalities.
The state has almost no interest in a humane reduction of stray animals, the prices at the veterinary clinics for neutering are very high considering the standards and the high rate of unemployment in Bosnia. To some people, monthly salary in Bosnia is as nearly as high as the cost of a castration is.
For months, the media is spreading hatred against street dogs, and intentionally causes fear and hatred towards the dogs. Animal lovers advocate for a non-violent solution of the problem, saying that disregard / non-implementation of the law passed in April 2009 caused the problem. Their opponents say that the law is inappropriate for Bosnia and Herzegovina and that killing dogs is the only way to resolve the problem and already in January 2013, Occupy for Animals had warned that many of them are committed to change the law, trying to return to the killing as a legitimate option.
On 3rd of October, 2013 the Bosnian parliament will vote on the proposed "slaughter law".
It is rare that extremes of behavior challenge an established language, but these events invite depiction as 'a pandemic speciescidal holocaust' which will have no long term effect on the stray animals situation.
As you know, Catch-Neuter-Return is the only proven humane and effective method to reduce stray animal populations. Statistical studies indicate that in order to fully control a stray population, you need to achieve a 70 percent sterilization rate of the animals within a particular community. Once you reach the 70 percent threshold, the probability that an unsterilized female comes into contact with an unsterilized male is sufficiently small, and the population stops growing.
Killing stray animals, however, does not stop the problem and only offers a temporary "solution". The World Health Organization's "Guidelines for Dog Population Management" (Geneva 1990) and various other academic studies show that killing dogs is ineffective. Despite mass extermination campaigns by misguided municipalities the street dog population grows...
'Extermination policies" has been proven ineffective as a method of population control because the vacuum left is soon filled by other dogs from surrounding areas (it is technically impossible to catch ALL dogs) who move in to utilize the resources available, or by the existing dogs using these resources to raise more puppies. It only offers a 'temporary solution'.
In addition to the implementation of a massive spay & neuter campaign for homeless dogs:
- ALL dog owners must be compiled to sterilize their dogs
- the Bosnian government must provide free spay & neuter to those who cannot afford the cost
- the Bosnian government must take serious measures to end puppy mills and backyard breeding
- ALL animals must be chipped and a national register must be put in place
- the abandonment of animals must be severely punished
As long as the above mentioned measures will not be taken, the killing of even ALL homeless dogs (although technically impossible) will be futile and all dogs that will die, will have died in vain because nothing will have changed on the overall situation of Bosnia's stray animals population. The situation will be exactly the same again in a few months...
It must also be noted that the word 'euthanasia' is inappropriate when it comes to Bosnia. People tend to believe that - when reading the word "euthanasia" - the dogs will be put out of their miserable life on the streets "humanely".
But NOT SO! Euthanasia in Bosnia, like in most eastern European countries, has nothing to do with the merciful ending of an animal's life as practiced in western societies. In the past we have seen dogs being round up and then killed using axes and iron bars...
The European Union provides the government of Bosnia and Herzegovina with many millions of euros worth of financial aid each year. The provisos attached to these aid packages require the recipient country to abide by EU laws which would include the laws related to animal welfare.
The European Commission has stated that aligning national animal welfare legislation with EU law is a prerequisite for EU membership. Many international animal welfare organisations cite Bosnia as one of the countries with the most instances of horrific animal cruelty and suffering and thus membership should not be obtained by Bosnia until radical changes are made regarding animal welfare.
A number of MEPs have raised and continue to raise the issue about the need for countries seeking to acquire EU membership to demonstrate standards of animal care, and thus it is mandatory that conditions at shelters in Bosnia Herzegovina are drastically improved and that humane stray dog control systems are implemented throughout the country.
Also, and with deep respect to the Bosnian Parliament, a significant body of evidence now exists to show that exposure to animal abuse impacts on children's psychological health (
) and as the Bosnian Parliament is aware, whereas any strategy affecting homeless animals is not within the EU remit of responsibility, under the Treaty of Lisbon, the EU has a Duty of Care to protect human health. Licensing slaughter on the streets will expose children to health affecting stimuli and would be inconsistent with EU policies. One would expect Bosnia to postpone application for EU Membership until the last animal is killed.
We urge the EU to please remind the Bosnian Government of their obligations to comply with EU-standards on animal welfare, including the humane control of stray animal populations, and to tell them to immediately drop the idea of killing all homeless animals two weeks after captures.
Thank you very much, in advance, for the time taken to read our message, and for taken the necessary measures regarding the matter that we have raised.
Yours respectfully,
Wednesday October 2, 2013, 6:22 am

A middling-to-outside bet to take over BBC1's The One Show following the exit of Jason Manford – you may have read about it on Twitter – Richard Bacon suddenly looked like a hot favourite after tweeting he had "just had lunch with the editor of the One Show". Stand down, people, because 12 minutes later he offered an urgent clarification. "PS when I say lunch with the editor of The One Show, mean in the same restaurant. Sorry er, should have explained that earlier." At least it wasn't: "When I say lunch, I served him his main course."

Unveil New Online Service
Wednesday, May 16, 2001
at 1:30 p.m.
Secretary of State Dan A. Gwadosky will announce a new online service on Wednesday at the Harding Law Offices located at 427 Main Street in Presque Isle. Interactive Corporate Services, the Department of the Secretary of States most recent e-Government service, provides access to information on business entities that file documents with the Secretary of State. This online service will be available to anyone with Internet access 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Interactive Corporate Services also allows copies of imaged documents, such as annual reports and articles of incorporation, as well as copies of certificates of good standing, to be printed at home or the office. Secretary Gwadosky will demonstrate the new service, including the ability to print certified copies. While this service is available to anyone seeking information on business and nonprofit corporations, it is anticipated that the highest percentage of users will be attorneys, bankers and accountants seeking to confirm the formal organization of a business entity or to locate information on a corporations officers or registered agent. Therefore, the demonstration on Wednesday seeks to provide a typical location where this information will be used. Interactive Corporate Services allows a user to search the documents on file with the State of Maine for all business and non-profit corporations, trademarks, limited partnerships, as well as limited liability partnerships and corporations. Basic information regarding each of these entities is available at no cost. This information includes legal name, entity type, status, date of incorporation or filing, assumed and former names, and clerk/registered agent. This information may be accessed and printed at no cost from the user's computer. For additional information, such as plain or certified copies of filings (annual reports, articles of incorporation, amendments, etc.) and certificates of good standing and legal existence, the usual statutory fees apply and a subscription to InforME, the Information Resource of Maine, is required to process the request online and bill the users account for the services. |

Burberry Prorsum Spring 2013
Today, designer Christopher Bailey cemented his place — in our minds — as a genius. Here's the thing (or a few things) about the Burberry Prorsum Spring 2013 lineup you should know right off the bat. We couldn't stop uttering "we want that," we're nothing short of obsessed with the femme-fatale trench makeover, and we couldn't contain our giddiness at the sight of the show's rainbow-metallic coat parade closer. Check out all the pictures from the Burberry Prorsum show now and come back soon for our full rundown on why this collection made us swoon.

Mom to Mom Monday: Grouchy Back to School Supply Vent
Posted by Julie Clark on 8/12/2013 to
Mom Madness
Back to school time is here and for those of you who send your little ones to school like I do, this time means you rush around looking for clothes that both you and your daughter can agree on (if you're me),
shoes that don't cost a fortune, lunch boxes, backpacks and the like.
It can seem like you don't need all that much but when you actually get the lists, if you have more than one kid, the cost and aggravation can really add up.
School Supplies, Ugg!
A look at our Back to School Supply List (for three kids combined)
, but thankfully my sons are still in great shape from last year and they're too young to put up a fuss over having to reuse them.
(3) scissors
(3) pencil boxes
(22) glue sticks! Apparently they use a lot of glue...
(96) pre-sharpended pencils. <--This has turned out to be one of the biggest pains to find. They want to charge you five times as much for sharpened pencils than un-sharpened ones and NONE of the small manual sharpeners you buy actually work! *Can someone please invent a pencil sharpener that works?
(1500) sheets of paper! Again, WHY so many sheets? Sold in packs of 150, this seems like an in-humane amount of paper to require of a 5th grader.
Markers, Colored Pencils, Crayons, Tissues, Plastic Bags, Hand Sanitizer, Baby Wipes, Paper Plates, Forks and on and on. Multiply it all by three and trust me, you start to feel a little overwhelmed.
I truly love and appreciate our teachers. Without school supply lists I know the teachers end up having to purchase even more out of pocket and that many of these supplies are used to help stock their classroom, so I don't complain.
I'm happy to help but each year I realize how HARD it is to do all of this the week before school starts and I vow to never wait this long again...it never works.
Do you have an insane amount of school supplies to buy? Do you buy each and every one, taking the list quite literally or do you buy the necessities as you see fit? Please share!
Jill S
I think 22 glue sticks per kid is insane. and who needs 96 pencils? go with an electric sharpener and put your kids to work. They'll love taking turns sharpening and dumping out the shavings!
Sarah R
My husband is a teacher and he does not require that much stuff of his high schoolers! 22 glue sticks?!
Julie Clark
It's 8 glue sticks per 6yr old and 6 glue sticks for my 10 yr old. We had an electric sharpener and the kids broke it. We need one of those old school sharpeners that attach to the wall and turn with a crank. lol
Wendy J.
I remember at one point in my elementary school career I had a teacher that required our supplies to be pooled. Like, each kid brings their 7 glue sticks, they get put into a giant bin, and then the teacher would pass glue out to everyone for art projects. It's really a crappy system, you know? I can see it working for tissues and hand sanitizer, but my mom bought Crayola, and I always found myself stuck using RoseArt.
Wow! I have 2 children, ages 5 and 3.5 (4 in October.) Both my kids went to Headstart last year and a special needs pre-school. Neither one of them needed only backpacks last year and since my daughter had hers and was in good shape from her first year at pre-k, it was all good. This year, though is different. My daughter is going into Kindergarten, and she needs the socialization (social butterfly like her mom) and although I keep a clean and fairly tidy place, I am not cut out to be a homeschooling mother, especially to one who needs speech therapy (youngest). So, unfortunately, my hubby and I live on a very limited budget and in public housing, so for my daughter's birthday which happens to fall right in the middle of summer, my two sisters bought her a backpack full of all the school supplies she needed for the year! So, so very grateful for that! I do plan on starting to pick up things for next year a little bit every other week when I go grocery shopping. I know the list will probably be slightly different next year, but if I can get a stock-pile of general supplies, then it's one less stress/worry.
Kim H
After working in a elementary school, it is shocking how much teachers have to supply if the kids don't bring it! We were always giving out pencils & paper & such. Mine aren't in school yet, but when they get there I think working in the field will make me a whole lot more willing to spend the money since I know it will help the teachers out!
Ayrielle E
I don't understand the amount of paper or pencils, unless the paper and pencils is about having it incase some families can't afford the school supplies, which could be the case in the numbers for everything. On the glue sticks...I totally understand 6-8 per child. We homeschool and just between my 3 and 5 year old we went through at least 15 glue sticks last year and I am pretty sure we will go through at least that many again this year. This is for crafts and school stuff, but my kids can use a glue stick in one sitting, easily.
We homeschool...and my list isn't even close to this! I did find (and install in our dining room) a manual, crank pencil sharpener that works fantastic at OfficeMax. Just empty often...if your pencils start sharpening lopsided its because it is too full :).

this chandelier is a marginally satisfactory unit. The globes hang crookedly from the arms and cannot be adjusted without fear of breaking the arms. The look of the unit is what I was after but the quality is not as I would have expected. I think the globes should hang evenly and level around the bottom of the unit and they do not.

A real table light!

The style is classy. The brightness in my kitchen is now where it should have always been. I used to have a single pendant and this chandlier is awesome.
