On March 24, 2014, the U.S. Supreme Court denied certiorari in Strine v Delaware Coalition for Open Government, Inc., 2014 US Lexis 1984, and let stand a ruling from the Third Circuit (733 F3d 510). The Third Circuit ruling was a 2-1 decision.
The question before the Third Circuit was whether the public has a right of access under the First Amendment to Delaware' s state-sponsored arbitration program. Chancellor Strine, then the presiding judge of Delaware Chancery Court and now chief judge of the Delaware Supreme Court, and the judges of the Delaware Chancery Court, who oversee the arbitration process, appealed from a judgment in favor of the Delaware Coalition for Open Government. The Third Circuit found that Delaware's arbitration program was subject to the same rules governing civil trials and thus must be open to the public. The appellants argued that the First Amendment does not mandate a right of public access to state-sponsored arbitration proceedings.
"ODR technologies most likely will appeal to the latent legal market and will be seen by the public as something that improves access to justice and legal services, which will make it difficult for lawyers to make the case that these types of services should not be offered."
Killian, 2014. The Florida Bar News
The Question:
A family law mediation was held through the court mediation program. Both parties were represented by counsel. A partial agreement was reached and the mediator prepared the mediation report and agreement. The attorneys, parties and mediator signed the Mediation Report that a partial agreement was reached and set forth the remaining issues to be adjudicated by the Judge. The parties a..'1d attorneys left the courthouse as it was after 5:00 p.m. The attorneys and parties had left the mediation with the understanding that they had signed the mediation report and mediation agreement. The mediator made copies of the report and agreement and discovered that one of the parties and their attorney had not signed the Agreement. All parties and their attorneys had initialed each page of the Mediation Agreement. The mediator called the attorney that had not signed the agreement and immediately took the agreement to the attorney for signatures. The attorney told the mediator that the client had already left town but would be back the next day to sign that it was not a problem it was only an oversight. The attorney signed the original mediated agreement. The mediator checked with the attorney the next week and found out that the client would not sign the agreement now, but just wanted a few minor changes and a letter was being sent to the other attorney regarding the changes …

Canstar Community News - ONLINE EDITION
Winnipeg welcomes actor
Star of The Best Brothers says it's great to be part of local scene
Two brothers are about to discover what it's like to work together after their mother dies and they realize that she, just maybe, loved the dog best.
The Best Brothers, a comedy by Daniel MacIvor, is set to open Oct. 17 at the Prairie Theatre Exchange (393 Portage Ave.). River Heights resident Paul Essiembre stars as Hamilton Best, a nitpicky architect and brother to Kyle Best, portrayed by Carson Nattrass, a real estate agent always looking for the next sale.
Essiembre said he immediately connected to the script.
"I was really drawn to it when I first read it because of two things: its humour and its heart," said Essiembre, 44. "It's a very fun and light and funny play on the surface, and then it starts to really take you into some real-life heart moments."
Essiembre has more than 20 years of experience in acting, starting in Ottawa, then later travelling to Montreal, Edmonton, and Stratford, Ont., and then to Toronto. This is the third play Essiembre has done in Winnipeg.
In July 2012, Essiembre and family moved to Winnipeg to be close to his wife's family, and for a different atmosphere in which to raise their seven-year-old daughter, away from the busy life of Toronto.
"We were looking for a pace of life that was more family-friendly," said Essiembre.
Since moving to Winnipeg, Essiembre said the acting community has been more than welcoming, something he didn't expect.
"That's not always true in other, smaller cities," said Essiembre. "Because it's a smaller market than, say, Toronto or Vancouver. What acting opportunities are available tend to be very sought after, and very valuable. So if a local performer feels threatened by someone new coming in, it's understandable that they might get their nose out of joint.
"But I've never encountered any of that (in Winnipeg)," added Essiembre. "I've just had a very warm, receptive, creative, generous welcome to the community."
Essiembre said there is a high level of talent in Winnipeg.
"What's here is fantastic," said Essiembre. "Winnipeggers seem to really support the arts more than other cities that I've also been in."

After a year of lull, newspapers are looking to expand the reader base by branching out to new areas with trendy editions.
After a brief lull last year, compulsive media expansion is back. When Rajasthan Patrika launched a Gwalior edition earlier this month the run up to it was richly ironical. It was a replay of what happened back in 1996 when the owners of Dainik Bhaskar triggered a still-continuing process of Hindi newspaper expansion by moving out of Madhya Pradesh and into Rajasthan. They decided to invade territory where Rajasthan Patrika had a monopoly after doing a market survey which brought them into contact with Jaipur city's newspaper readers.
More than 14 years later, here was Patrika returning the compliment, in Dainik Bhaskar's original stronghold, Madhya Pradesh. The Gwalior launch was preceded by Patrika unleashing 260 surveyors on an unsuspecting Gwalior to ask readers about their preferences. The paper already has editions in Bhopal, Jabalpur, and Indore, as part of an expansion into MP which began in 2008. It is also targeting Chattisgarh which Dainik Bhaskar had entered after the state's formation in 2000. The Patrika Group has said 2010 will be a year of further expansion.
New pastures
Bhaskar meanwhile is also set to invade new pastures this year, notably Bihar, Jharkhand and Jammu. Bihar has two entrenched Hindi players, Jharkhand three, so the Bhaskar Group shored up its kitty for expansion and consolidation first, by doing an initial public offering which concluded in January this year. Meanwhile Bhaskar's arch rival for the Hindi readership crown, Dainik Jagran, announced a few weeks ago that Blackstone Group, the U.S. private equity firm, has invested Rs. 225 crore in Jagran Media Network. It plans to use the money at least partly for acquisitions. There was a flutter earlier this month over a premature announcement of talks between Jagran and Mid Day. The Bhaskar Group is part owner of DNA, catching up with an English publication of its own would seem to be the Jagran group's goal, among other things.
2010 so far has been a year of upbeat announcements. Trendy Hindi-English publications with English names is another growth area for all these groups. Even as the Jagran group's I Next moves into new states and cities, Amar Ujala is pushing its Compact, and Hindustan is reported to be soon launching a paper called Spark in the same genre, though there is no formal announcement yet.
It is a good time for job hopping again, for both journalists and media executives.
What is increasingly clear is that expansion is no longer an option. It is a compulsion when new players keep coming in. When the Hindi General Entertainment space got crowded with the entry of Colours, NDTV Imagine and 9X, Star India decided it had to seek revenues from other language markets. And went on to launch an entertainment channel in West Bengal, Star Jalsha, which became number one there. It also got into an alliance which fetched it Asianet, and started channels in Maharashtra and Karnataka. Today, the management at Star likes to point out, only 50 per cent of its total consumer base derives from Hindi entertainment. So even while it regains the top viewership position in the weekly ratings against competition from Colours, Imagine and Zee, as it has just done, it is not overly worried about future slippages. It has ballast from other parts of the country where local advertising is plentiful, and therefore revenues forthcoming.
Star now says it is only second to Zee in its cross country spread of channels. But others are thinking along the same lines. In December, the board of directors of the company of Sri Adhikari Brothers Television Network Ltd, approved the company's expansion plans that include the launch of regional entertainment television channels.
No monopolies
When everybody wants to spread either across the country or across all the Hindi speaking states, the day will soon come when no publication or TV company will remain unassailable in any regional stronghold. For Dainik Bhaskar and may be even Rajasthan Patrika, today Uttar Pradesh still remains a somewhat distant destination. But who knows, they may get there.
Tailpiece: The IPL Kochi controversy has unleashed an amazing free for all where Sunanda Pushkar is concerned. She has become a soft target, fair game for any kind of reporting. The Mumbai Mirror procured photographs of her before and after a nose job — "Who nose the real Sunanda?" And referred to other cosmetic surgeries undergone. Outlook wrote a less than flattering profile which used terms like "vampire-like" and "clawed". Gender bias is a mild term. This is more like gender savagery.

3 of 3 people found the following review helpful
Criminal Minded,
This review is from: The Plot Against Hip Hop: A Novel (A D Hunter Mystery) (Paperback)
The combo of great indie publisher, great cover, provocative title, well-known author, and short length, prompted me to pick up this hip-hop thriller. Just to be clear, this isn't "Street Lit" or "Urban Fiction" or "Hood Lit" or anything of that nature, rather, it's a fairly conventional crime/detective genre novel set amidst the world of contemporary hip-hop, with a story line stretching back to the scene in the late '80s and early '90s. The hero is "D" -- the only one of four brothers to make it out of the rough Brownsville part of Brooklyn alive. He's managed to establish himself as the head of a very successful security firm specializing in the world of hip-hop, working award shows, video shoots, private parties, and soforth. When his friend and widely respected music critic Dwayne Robinson dies in a bloody heap on his doorstep, he doesn't buy the official explanation that Robinson was the random target of a gang initiation attack. Instead, he starts poking around, asking questions, which soon leads him down a rabbit hole of conspiracy theorists with some wild ideas about who is trying to do what to black people in America.
All of which starts pointing him to a mysterious report from the late '80s (inspired by the real-life Harvard report from the '70s) which is reputedly about how hip-hop can be leveraged and marketed -- and perhaps even co-opted a tool of social control. D's investigation centers on New York and L.A., and is finds him rubbing shoulders with big names of today, and name-checking big names of the past. Even as he searches for this report so that he can try and learn if it had something in it worth killing his friend for, he struggles with the reality that the all-pervasive hip-hop culture that pays his bills is an artistically weak but commercially huge business (Drake comes under particular criticism), compared to the artistically strong hip-hop of his youth (political and conscious acts such as PE and BDP get much love in this book), which weren't as prevalent in mainstream culture. (I guess I'm kind of the perfect reader, because my sympathies are right in line with D's when it comes to the state of mainstream hip-hop -- which is not to say there isn't some great stuff lurking in the underground.)
In any event, as the story progresses, there are some more murders, and a love interest to spice things up. The short chapters and uptempo pacing make it a quick, page-turning read, although it sometimes grinds to a halt for a paragraph to explain some reference or another. As a crime genre book it's decent, not amazing, but decent -- I struggled a bit with whether I felt like it was likely that people were killed for the motives that are eventually revealed. But if you're into hip-hop, it'd definitely worth the short time it takes to read. If you're not into hip-hop, I can't imagine it would do much for you, since the story is so deeply immersed in that world. In the end, D is an engaging hero, and one I wouldn't mind reading another book about.

You could also make 2 then wire or glue them together and have a 2 sided ornament! It will use up your CDs faster but if you are like me, you have plenty :) These would look nice hanging on trees in the yard too. Be sure to spray with a sealer first tho to help them handle the weather better. I totally agree with you Deni OQuinn, this site is the BEST!! Happy Crafting!!
serilously, its k but instro r not clr
Loved the recycled CDs (have rather a few that are no longer of anyother worth) and again all 6 of my grandchildren, aged 3 to 10, will be able to do this (the younger ones with help for certain areas) Thanks for such a great 'neat' looking idea
I'm thinking my 6 yr old granddaughter would love to do something real similar. Instead of beads she loves to work with her glitter glue! or we could glue beads on instead of working with the wire. Thanks for the idea of the CD and we can follow your beautiful pattern or come up with some of our own
This is by far the BEST site for crafters!! There are so many ideas and the materials are always inexpensive and the instructions so easy to apply!! Thanks!! I have sent this to friends, grandchildren and family and they all love it.
There is no mention of using the glitter spray. At what step should it be used? My guess it before adding beads.
These are so pretty . It makes good use for those scratched CD's that we have. Can you say "recycle"?
i have been doing this for years. not only the way you have done yours but i have cut them , made jewlery from them, you name it and i have just about done them. one of my fun ones was makeing a clown face. it turned out real neat. i just love makeing things from stuff that most people throw away . bottle caps, soda bottles etc. have a good day

Apple's CEO Tim Cook says the company is "extremely sorry'' for the frustration its Maps application has caused and it is doing everything it can to make it better.He said in a letter posted online on Friday that Apple "fell short'' of its commitment to make the best products for its customers.
Live Box 201259843999621
"Everything we do at Apple is aimed at making our products the best in the world. We know that you expect that from us, and we will keep working non-stop until Maps lives up to the same incredibly high standard,'' he said.In the meantime, Cook recommended that people use competing map applications to get around.
A link to the letter appears on the firm's home page.
"At Apple, we strive to make world-class products that deliver the best experience possible to our customer," Cook wrote in the latest case.
"With the launch of our new Maps last week, we fell short on this commitment. We are extremely sorry for the frustration this has caused our customers and we are doing everything we can to make Maps better," said Cook.The Cupertino, California, company released an update to its iPhone and iPad operating system last week that replaced Google Maps with Apple's own map application.
But users complained that the new map software offers fewer details, lacks public transit directions and misplaces landmarks, among other problems.
Users complained that the new Maps service - based on Dutch navigation equipment and digital map maker TomTom NV's data - contained geographical errors and gaps in information, and that it lacked features that made Google Maps so popular from public transit directions to traffic data and street-view pictures.
Unusual landmarksUsers have been flocking to social media to complain and make fun of the app's glitches.
Examples include satellite maps that only show cloud cover, towns located in the wrong place, missing bodies of water, absent roads, incorrectly spelt place names and suggested driving directions that would take users on odd routes.
In addition some of the 3D rendered images look bizarre including a flattened Eiffel Tower, cars that appear to have melted into roads and a road that looks like it has plunged into the US's Hoover Dam.
Apple released the iPhone 5 last week and on Monday it said it sold more than five million of them in three days. That was fewer than analysts expected, even though the number is a record for any phone.

About Me
I am an Omidyar Fellow at the interdisciplinary Santa Fe Institute; my "home discipline" is (theoretical) computer science. My research lies primarily at the intersection of theoretical computer science and mathematics—particularly algebraic geometry, representation theory, and group theory—but I am starting to branch out into more general complex systems and, thereby, more worldly pursuits such as biology, energy, and the environment (which I've been interested in for most of my career).
Prior to coming to the Santa Fe Institute, I was a postdoc in the University of Toronto CS Theory Group, and prior to that I got my Ph.D. at the University of Chicago.
What's new(Sep 29, 2014) New paper posted: A framework for optimal high-level descriptions in science and engineering—preliminary report (joint w/ David H. Wolpert, Eric Libby, and Simon DeDeo). Particularly because this draft is a (very) preliminary report, we are circulating and soliciting comments and suggestions. Any and all are very welcome. (My first science paper outside of TCS!)
(Sep, 2014) Welcome to the world, little CFG!

Unfortunately, when it comes to CSIS, Canadians can expect very little transparency, a cause for additional concern when you recall Harper eliminated the position of the CSIS watchdog in 2012. The only overview of CSIS is handled by the Security Intelligence Review Committee (SIRC), a body comprised of part-time appointees with limited resources that assess CSIS operations after-the-fact.
Convicting and incarcerating those who return to Canada from fighting with extremist groups overseas alone is not enough. Radicalization spreads, particularly in prison, where many individuals feel wronged by the system and society more generally. Once those prisoners return to civilian life they take with them their twisted and radicalized beliefs and spread them in the communities where they live. Many of Canada's allies have their own de-radicalization programs in place for those who return home after joining terrorist organizations abroad.
Huge numbers of Canadians, including key Ottawa decision-makers, are pushing back hard against the government's Bill C-51, which proposes unprecedented new powers for Canada's security agencies. The bill effectively turns CSIS into a secret police force and would place every Canadian under a government microscope.
The Harper government wants to hide all of its secrets. A Canadian Press reported noticed a troubling policy detail buried in the feds' legislative bulletin that would dramatically expand the number of current and former federal government employees under a lifetime gag order, potentially curbing the right to free expression of thousands of Canadians.
The arrest by the RCMP of two individuals who were allegedly planning out a terrorist attack on a VIA Rail train will only heighten our level of anxiety as the scare hits closer to home. Reintroducing these provisions seems nothing more than an attempt by the Conservative government to further prove its 'tough on terror' credentials. But when our laws appear to be working -- results of brave and successful law enforcement operations -- attempting to play on our fears by using emotion over reason does not do justice to the seriousness this discussion this requires.
It's good that the Ministry of Public Safety has decided to introduce amendments to the existing Anti-Terrorism Act of Canada. Even so, such measures may engender considerable controversy under Canada's Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

We already have a Meredith by-pass; let me map it for you
To The Daily Sun,
Regarding the recent letter submitted to The Sun about the possibility of a by-pass around Meredith to solve the occasional congestion through town n the summer, I began thinking that we already have a very usable by-pass.
Coming from Route 104 you go to Winona Road and then turn onto Waukewan Road, continuing past the golf course and onto Route 3. Then if motorists want to reach Route 25, they simply cross Route 3 and take Keyser Road until they come to Route 25 and continue east. Even if it is approaching from Parade Road, they can cross over Pease Road and then over Winona Road.
I and many other locals use this route when we realize that there is a traffic tie-up on Route 3.
I call it the "Meredith Scenic By-Pass!"

To twist the past to fit an agenda is intellectually dishonest
To The Daily Sun,
In response to Mr. L.J. Siden of Gilmanton. The question really is not, were we founded as Christian nation, but are we still a Christian nation? Any honest student of history cannot deny the clear and obvious fact that America was founded by Christian men and women as a Christian Nation. History requires study of the whole time frame and all the people involved. In order to get a true and accurate understanding.
The Federal Constitution may not specifically make reference to God, However every state constitution does. The Federal Constitution was formed by ideas from individual state constitutions of that time. The New Hampshire Constitution Part 1 Article 6 declares that "morality and piety" will be our best and greatest security. Piety is clearly a devotion to God by definition. Has the gentleman from Gilmanton ever cared to read N.H. Governor Josiah Bartlett's Thanksgiving proclamation that was issued in 1793, with the approval of the Executive Council? Josiah Bartlett was a signer of the Declaration of Independence. This proclamation clearly was not a benign secular pluralistic proclamation, but wholly Christian in nature and context and content. They were not the words of someone and a people who believed in a Godless secular government, nor does our N.H. State Constitution advocate for the same as I mentioned earlier. Both urge dependence on God Almighty the one True God. Has the gentleman from Gilmanton ever cared to read George Washington's farewell address to the nation? He states, "The name of American, which belongs to you in your national capacity, must always exalt the just pride of patriotism more than any appellation derived from local discriminations. With slight shades of difference, you have the same religion, manners, habits, and political principles. You have in a common cause fought and triumphed together."
Did you see what he said? "same religion manners and habits" Clearly that is Christianity. Did you also know that the Supreme Court in the Holy Trinity vs. United States Feb 29, 1892 Justice Brewer declared "America is a Christian nation". Does that mean that everyone must be Christian? Certainly not. But it recognizes that our laws are based on Christian Judeo foundations. Have you cared to read Calvin Coolidge's speech on the 150th Anniversary of our Declaration of Independence? He states regarding our Founders, "They were a people who came under the influence of a great spiritual development and acquired a great moral power." He admonishes us to follow their example stating, "We live in an age of science and of abounding accumulation of material things. These did not create our Declaration. Our Declaration created them. The things of the spirit come first. Unless we cling to that, all our material prosperity, overwhelming though it may appear, will turn to a barren sceptre in our grasp. If we are to maintain the great heritage which has been bequeathed to us, we must be like-minded as the fathers who created it. We must not sink into a pagan materialism. We must cultivate the reverence which they had for the things that are holy. We must follow the spiritual and moral leadership which they showed. We must keep replenished, that they may glow with a more compelling flame, the altar fires before which they worshiped."
Daniel Webster, known as one of the greatest orators ever in the U.S. Senate, stated on February 23, 1852 regarding the importance of history, "let me say, gentlemen, that if we and our posterity shall be true to the Christian religion, if we and they shall live always in the fear of God, and shall respect His commandments, if we and they shall maintain just moral sentiments and such conscientious convictions of duty as shall control the heart and life, we may have the highest hopes of the future fortunes of our country ... But if we and our posterity reject religious institutions and authority, violate the rules of eternal justice, trifle with the injunctions of morality, and recklessly destroy the political constitution which holds us together, no man can tell how sudden a catastrophe may overwhelm us that shall bury all our glory in profound obscurity."
Mr. Sidon can debate the current state of our country as to whether or not we are still a Christian nation, but to twist that past to fit an agenda is intellectually dishonest, and shows a lack of study into the writings and lives of the Founding fathers, or just an outright ignorance to historical facts. The only thing we can truly change is the present. He should try sticking to that. Our Founding Fathers and God gave us that right to change if we so choose to do so. But at our own peril. We all have the opportunity to make history, nobody has the right to redefine or change our history. May God continue to bless America. As our national motto states. "One nation under God" at least we used to be.

A personal need for the experience of God's love and grace
To The Daily Sun,
You can never change a person who has had an experience, they will always say, "I was there when it happened", "I ought to know". You just don't listen to the likes of James Veverka and his rants and raves, he has never had an experience as yet, of God's love and grace. A Stone Age man had more wisdom than Mr. Veverka, he said the fool has said in his heart, there is no God. Psm 14:1. By the way, the American way is God Bless America and In God We Trust; all my money says that, and every time the Red Sox play a game, we all sing "God Bless America". Period.
You are a real shame to our American way; your money must burn holes in your pocket; our troops will stand to protect us all, and their motto is "For God and Country". God Bless them all.

Please consider running for position of Gilman Library trustee
To The Daily Sun,
An open letter to the voters of Alton:
For almost seven years I have had the privilege of serving as a trustee of the Gilman Library here in Alton. I would like voters to know that I have decided not to run for another term, and that in March, voters will have an opportunity to elect a new trustee. This is a time when good people of Alton who love the library need to consider if they, or someone they know, might step forward to run for this position.
It would be wonderful if there were several candidates to choose from. I would encourage anyone who uses and loves our Gilman Library, to consider service to Alton by becoming a candidate for this important elected position. Trustees of the Gilman Library are charged with providing leadership, guidance, maintenance, and support for all aspects of this valuable community resource.
Some of the characteristics which would be welcomed on the board include interests in special programs for teens and young adults, innovative ways to involve volunteers in the library, understanding new developments in technology, and, of course, energy, enthusiasm, and willingness to learn.
In order to become a candidate and have your name on the ballot in March 2015, candidates will have to file with the Town Clerk in January 2015. If you might consider running for the office of Library Trustee, please feel free to call me with your questions, contact another trustee, talk with head librarian Holly Brown, or attend one of our meetings.
Thank you for the honor of serving as Trustee of the Gilman Library.

'You can keep your health insurance!' Was that a big Tea Party lie?
To The Daily Sun,
Scott Cracraft lets it be known he's a U.S. citizen, a veteran, and a taxpayer. Thank you for your service, Scott. You're one of millions of us.
Now as to Scott's letter naming the Tea Party as some kind of radical, big lie, fascist-like organization I must respectively disagree. Can't remember any "big lies" told by the TP. I do remember "If you like your doctor you can keep your doctor" and "If you like your insurance you can keep your insurance." And how about that the Benghazi murders were not a terrorist attack but a peaceful demonstration that got out of hand triggered by some anti Muslim YouTube video? As for some who questioned Obama's citizenship is it really unreasonable to question an unknown candidate with few credentials, no accomplishments of note and sealed records? I don't think so, and still wonder why he had to seal all his collage stuff if all is on the up and up?
Obama has proven to be a serial liar over the past few years, which gave rise to the Tea Party whose expressed complaint is they want the law and Constitution followed which they deemed Obama and progressives were not, and there is certainly enough circumstantial evidence to leave the question open to argument. Perfectly reasonable in my opinion, as is their concern over the ever-growing national debt. So what exactly is radical about that Scott?
When has the TP attacked the poor; their only complaint is you liberals are creating thousands and thousands more and with jobs scarce allowing hundreds of thousands more unskilled needy aliens into the country. Compassion is one thing, but destroying the middle class and throwing millions of our own citizens into poverty just for political power is criminal, I think. And yes, that is exactly what Democrats are doing.
Gridlock? Well I guess Scott never heard that 300 bills were passed by the House and sent to the Senate where Harry Reid quashed them, never even allowing them to go to committee for debate. Why, because Harry didn't like them. Okay for Harry and Dems to refuse to pass legislation they don't like but not for Repubs? Get real. Congress is not a rubber stamp for any one party or president.
Tea Party violence? When, where? Now that's just plain bull, Scott. Liberals keep bringing up that red herring every so often even though there is no history of any conservative group resorting to violence unlike left wing mobs and thugs. Even now left-wing agitators are responsible for Ferguson burning and mayhem. Just can't stand the rule of law or that all real evidence supports it was just and right.
All told, it appears to me the left will use any excuse, any lie or distortion to steal power then blame anyone or anything else for the harm it does to those they proclaim they are helping.

A Night in CassablancaPosted Nov 13, 2012 on Hotels.com
The hotel is not easy to locate if you are driving from the auto route. Do not bother asking for directions, because the answer is always "straight ahead". On check-in, the receptionist was outstanding; the receptionist spoke English, French and some Wolof. However, from that point forward, the quality of our stay declined. First, the sheets on our bed were not clean, the flooring was unkept, and the cracked window never opened. Of course, housekeeping changed the bedding. Later in the evening, my husband and I went to the dining room for dinner. We sat at the assigned table for approximately 10 minutes before anyone asked for our order. It was not that they didn't know we were there. Once served, we felt rushed to finish our meal and leave. The staff apparently had problems communicating in French or English, because each time we requested something it was not delivered as requested. Needless to say, our stay was less than romantic.

Political parties are essential parts of any democratic political system. They are the vehicles through which citizens are able to compete together for power; they make a political system legitimate; they allow citizens to be represented in the state; they facilitate a degree of responsiveness and accountability; they are instruments for the recruitment of political leaders; and they act as mechanisms of political communication and education. By creating coalitions within a society, they also promote social cohesion.
The benign potential of political parties is rarely fully realized, however. Parties are often involved in political intimidation, corruption, the politicization of state institutions, the manipulation of racial and ethnic antagonisms, and the pursuit of short-term partisan advantage at the expense of the longer term interests of citizens, future generations, and the environment.
South African activists have mostly maintained the position that parties should be open, transparent and accountable. In particular, information about how parties are financed is necessary if citizens are to make informed decisions about the political parties they choose to support. Constitutional lawyers too, are quick to point to the principles that have been advanced by the Constitutional Court in defending the kind of society imagined by the Constitution. However, political scientists have frequently warned of the dangers posed by the unintended consequences of political party regulation, often sought by those who intend to protect the Constitution.
The potentially benign and malign potentials of political parties and party systems have legal, political and sociological dimensions. These can only be understood by means of interdisciplinary study and deliberation, involving dialogue between specialists in the organisational and political aspects of democratic systems, scholars of the legal and constitutional factors that shape political party operations, party political strategists, and social justice activists.
The Department of Political Studies at the University of Cape Town and the UCT School of Law, in collaboration with civil society group, My Vote Counts, would like to stimulate such a dialogue. They therefore intend to hold a conference in Cape Town on the theme "Political parties in South Africa: Legal and political considerations" on August 27 and 28 2015.
Suggestions for papers and panel themes are welcomed. These will include but not be limited to the following issues and questions:
The organisers invite those interested in presenting a paper at this noteworthy conference to submit abstracts to Prof. Anthony Butler email@example.com or Prof. Pierre De Vos email@example.com. Abstracts should be no longer than 500 words in length and must be submitted by 22 March 2015. We plan to seek publication of these papers in a book or special journal edition.
Yesterday, My Vote Counts went to the Constitutional Court to defend the Constitution and hold political parties to account. We asked the Constitutional Court to declare that Parliament has failed to fulfill its constitutional obligation to enact financial disclosure legislation to regulate private donations to political parties. This financial information is crucial for an informed right to vote, we argued, and necessary to protect the political rights from all forms of corruption. Counsel for Parliament conceded this, and agreed that citizens need access to such information in order exercise meaningful political rights. This was a huge concession, which vindicates the entire substance of our application.
However, Parliament argued that this necessary information can be garnered through an existing piece of legislation, the Promotion of Access to Information Act (PAIA); the very piece of legislation that was held in the IDASA litigation to be inappropriate for accessing private party funding records. Thus, one of the key issues that emerged was the relevance of PAIA, and whether it is an adequate legislative tool under section 32 of the Constitution for the purposes of gaining access to secret party funding. If it is the case, as Parliament argued, then the principle of subsidiarity applies, which means that MVC should have attacked PAIA for being unconstitutional rather than bringing it directly to the Court under section 32 of the Constitution. On this score, Parliament's Counsel presented a contradictory and unconvincing argument to the Court, which was not supported by Parliament's conduct since the inception of democracy. MVC's Counsel maintained the position that PAIA clearly does not purport to "cover the field" of access to information, and that citizens cannot use PAIA to gain access to the type of information they require from political parties to fully exercise their right to an informed vote. The obligation imposed by section 32 when read with section 19 obliges, therefore, that Parliament replace a system of unregulated secrecy with regulated transparency, which Parliament has failed to do.
Debating this issue of subsidiarity, as it relates to PAIA, constituted the majority of the day's proceedings. After hearing from counsel for both MVC and the Speaker of the National Assembly, the Court adjourned and judgment was reserved.
We expect judgment within the next four to six months. On balance, MVC remains hopeful that it has been successful in making the merits of its case clear. We are thankful for the excellent work of our lawyers and counsel, and for the support shown by partner organisations, such as the Right2Know Campaign and Corruption Watch, as well as support shown on news and social media.
Updates will be posted on our website, Facebook account and Twitter account (@MVC_SA). Further film-screenings and workshops to raise public awareness around this issue will also follow soon. For more information on the case, or how to get involved with MVC, contact:

My Vote Counts v The Speaker of Parliament & Others will be heard at the Constitutional Court, Johannesburg, on 10 February 2015.
The right to vote envisaged in the Constitution is the right to cast an informed vote. The right to make political choices is the right to make informed political choices.
MVC has asked the Constitutional Court to declare that Parliament has failed to fulfill its constitutional obligation to enact financial disclosure legislation to give effect to the right of access to information. This is based on the belief that information about the private funding of political parties is reasonably required for the effective exercise of the right to vote in elections. We have asked the Court to direct Parliament to fulfill this constitutional obligation by passing disclosure legislation, which Parliament must do within 18 months.
We refuse to be blind mice. We choose to be informed citizens. We say no to secrecy. Those that exercise public power must and will be held accountable. We demand protection from the state from all forms of corruption.

The American Institute of Bisexuality (AIB) encourages, supports and assists research on and education about bisexuality, through programs likely to enhance the publics' knowledge, awareness and understanding of bisexuality.
It's a truism among bisexuals that "coming out" is not a one-shot deal for us, but a constant process. On Facebook, "Relationship Status" is of great importance when it comes to the ways others judge and define us. For those of us who identify as bisexual, relationship status has been a defining aspect of our identities (from the perspectives of other people in our lives) since long before the advent of social media.
For several years, I've had the good fortune to publish articles on gender, sexuality and LGBT issues in some of Philadelphia's alternative newspapers, including the Philadelphia Gay News.
The year 2013 marked the advent of the ASA Leadership Institute, which combined the best of ASA's New Ventures in Leadership and Leadership Academy programs to address the need for culturally competent leadership and bold new leaders in the field of aging.
Sheena M. Jaffer is a graduate of ASA's Leadership Academy, now the ASA Leadership Institute, and is an Advocate For The Optimum Quality of Life for the Aging in Arlington, VA.
In this series profiling ASA leadership program alumni, ASA's AgeBlog asked Sheena a few questions about her interests, goals and the roles that mentorship has played in her career development.
Here's what she said:
In decades past, parents stretched to pay for their students' college tuition and expenses for four years, and then the check writing stopped. But today's lengthened road to adulthood and challenging economic realities are pressuring the Bank of Mom and Dad to stay open much longer. For emerging adults in the 21st century, becoming financially independent, like finding lasting love, solid employment and a permanent separate address, is taking much of their 20s to accomplish.
Popular lore has it that to age successfully, retirees should stay busy (what David Ekerdt calls the "busy ethic," in an article from The Gerontologist [26:3, 1986]), remaining engaged in active leisure such as sports or hobbies, participating in productive activities like volunteering or even continuing to work. Typically not part of this agenda are caregiving responsibilities.

Is Viking price controlled, or can I get a deal?
I'm looking at a recently discontinued Viking freestanding fridge. The sales person checked with the distributor, and they apparently have a few left.
I asked the sales guy whether he could offer me a discount b/c the model is discontinued. He said no, that since the stock is already low on this item, Viking likely won't discount the item to a "discontinued" type sale price.
My question is, do the stores themselves have any wiggle room to discount Viking appliances, or do they just have to go with what the distributor says?
I could shop around a bit, but if everyone is bound by the distributor's price, it probably won't be worth it.
I was told by an appliance Salesperson that spring is the best time to buy appliances as many showrooms are wanting to get rid of last years models to make room for this years. My local, southern NJ, appliance showroom had awesome deals on Wolf, Viking and many other high end name brands that normally don't get discounted. Give a call to your local appliance dealers or go in for a visit and inquire.

I'm writing a simplistic TCP server using Node.JS in order to learn more about some specific things before I take on a larger project that I have in mind. I'm hoping to learn more about test-driven-development, user authentication and encryption along the way. For kicks, I'm implementing a multiplayer tic-tac-toe game with user accounts, statistics, and random game pairing.
My question is, I have tests set up for some parts of the application, but it's come time to write the TCP portion. I'm using Expresso in combination with Should.js, and it's working great. My question is how exactly do I test a TCP server? Do I make repeated requests and make sure I'm getting back the things I'm wanting? Or should I somehow write the server in ways that it can be tested without having to make requests in the first place? (through abstraction)
I'm seriously curious. Thanks in advance for the insight!

text: Benefits RMDs a Viable Draw Down Strategy By Kristen Heinzinger email@example.com | October 16, 2012 Page 1 of 2 View Full Article October 16, 2012 (PLANSPONSORS.com) – A comparison found that using the Internal Revenue Service's (IRS's) required minimum distributions (RMD) as a retirement savings withdrawal strategy does almost as well as traditional withdrawal options and outperforms the 4% rule. The Center for Retirement Research (CRR) at Boston College analyzed the traditional rules of thumb for withdrawal—including spending interest only, basing withdrawals on life expectancy or adopting the 4% rule—and compared them with the IRS' RMD strategy (or a percent of assets that individuals are required to withdraw each year starting at age 70.5). In comparing the RMD with the 4% rule, the RMD strategy performed better. In dollar terms, a 65-year-old couple would need about $25,000 more (or 10%) of their $250,000 savings to be persuaded to use the 4% rule instead of the RMD strategy. A spending interest only strategy can work for wealthy individuals, but has drawbacks for those who lack substantial retirement savings. One disadvantage is that when an individual dies, he will leave behind all of his initial wealth plus capital gains. In some cases, this unnecessarily restricts retirement consumption. Another drawback is that a retiree's income and consumption are dictated by his asset allocation, running the risk of a portfolio allocation that does not minimize the risk for any given level of expected return on the portfolio. In other words, the retiree may overinvest in dividend-yielding stocks, losing the benefits of diversification.A second strategy is to spend all financial assets over one's life expectancy. The equation for calculating this is not simple for most people, and retirees face a high probability (a 50% chance) they will outlive their savings and be forced to rely solely on Social Security.Spending a fixed percentage of one's initial retirement savings is another popular strategy, commonly known as the 4% rule. The advantage is that the retiree has a low probability of running out of money; the drawback is that the rule does not permit retirees to periodically adjust consumption in response to investment returns. For instance, if returns are less than expected in a given year, the retiree should respond by reducing consumption to preserve the assets—a fixed 4% withdrawal does not allow this flexibility.
