Birth certificates with digital signatures are now available instantly at all 'meeseva' centres provided the births have been registered in the official municipal records from 2007 to 2012. But, the same facility is not available at any of the Citizen Service Centres (CSCs) of the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC)!
It was only last month that the CSCs were given the facility to accept applications for birth/death certificates along with the 'meeseva' centres and also issue them.
Birth certificates with normal ink signatures can be obtained from these centres after an interval of three days from the time of applying.
Yet, for some strange reason the option of downloading and printing birth certificates with digital signatures so that they can be issued within minutes has not been given to CSCs.
Senior officials informed that obtaining any certificates involving certificates with digital signatures need to have separate pacts with APonline. 'meeseva' has such an understanding while the Municipal Corporation has not done it.
This defeats the very purpose of opening up CSCs for accepting birth/death certificates. There were complaints of delays at 'meeseva' centres due to the courier issues and also because of long queues as these offices issue other certificates pertaining to different government departments.
Another debatable issue is the fee being charged for digitally signed certificates. The fee per certificate costs Rs.42 for the first copy and Rs.22 for the second copy.
Comparatively, it costs just Rs.50 for the same certificate with the ink signature, including the Rs.15 as 'meeseva' charges and Rs.15 for courier service. These 'ink' signed certificates can be taken from CSCs for Rs.20 only minus any kind of service charges.
Senior officials explained that the cost of the digitally signed certificates was decided by 'meeseva' authorities.
The civic body has also verified and computerised all – 12 lakh birth/death registration records from 2007 till date.
Exercise is on to computerise the data till the year 2000 expected to be about 10 lakh registrations and another seven lakh registrations between 1995-2000. Most of the requests for certificates are pertaining to this period though manual records are available from 1957.

Stairs on the left side of the deck of this light blue home allow for easy traffic flow when entertaining guests.
This transitional outdoor space comes alive with both New York City's bustling backdrop and a rich arrangement of plants and trees, providing the ultimate setting for relaxing and entertaining.
Think of your outdoor space as an extension of your home. This thoughtfully designed backyard is an excellent example. Here, a Douglas fir pergola provides structure over the back patio, while the composite decking connects the entries of the house acting as an outdoor hallway.
Heat lamps mounted to the white pergola ensure that outdoor dining can be comfortable in many temperatures. A garden lines the border of the porch, adding layers and life to the landscaping. A mix of outdoor contemporary furniture allows for ample seating.
The deep rich tones and realistic grain patterns of Fiberon ProTect Advantage Chestnut decking mimic today's popular indoor hardwood looks, extending your living space into the great outdoors. There's plenty of room on this composite deck to kick back and relax, or host the neighbors near the fire feature.
The "V" pattern of the Fiberon Horizon Ipe boards creates an eye-catching floor design. Using the same composite boards as top rails provides a striking contrast to the white posts and visually connects the space. The wide flat top rail also doubles as table-top dining. Add in the outdoor kitchen, and this deck is sure to impress.
This modern linear fire pit adds dramatic style and makes outdoor living possible year-round.
This spacious backyard features a beautiful outdoor kitchen area with stainless steel appliances, including a grill and two refrigerators. Just next to the kitchen is a small sitting area with a brown rattan ottoman and matching loveseats, both featuring taupe outdoor cushions and colorful orange throw pillows.
Accordion doors open this California home's main living area directly onto a fabulous transitional deck and outdoor gathering space. Floating on a curved design, facing plush sofas give everyone seated access to warmth from the contemporary fire pit. Move seamlessly from dining inside to cocktails fireside.
A striking rectangular fire pit anchors this patio sitting area. Dark wicker chairs flank the pit and make for a comfy spot for socializing and enjoying the alfresco setting.
This outdoor fire pit is a beautiful place to escape and enjoy the outdoors while relaxing on the Adirondack chairs.
This outdoor space is defined by a grand Victorian-style fountain.
The Mediterranean is famous for the terra-cotta pots used in gardens, as focal points or as planted containers, and often old olive oil pots make sculptural features. Aim for larger sized pots where possible.
This courtyard's club chairs and sofa, fashioned from recycled plastic lumber, are topped with marine-grade, Sunbrella-upholstered cushions. The pliable, antifungal and antibacterial cube tables are fashioned from shredded rubber, then colorized with organically-mined dyes.
A wood pergola provides welcome shade for this raised patio, which houses lounge chairs for enjoying the great outdoors. The patio's stone walls are softened by hanging plants and thoughtful landscaping at every turn.
A white pergola lets sunlight sneak through to illuminate the long, contemporary dining table with bright, summery table settings. Bold orange accents pop against the industrial furniture and neutral floor. A grill is surrounded with counter space for additional seating or prepping.
A chic patio heater warms this transitional outdoor living space in style. The heater coordinates with the beautiful outdoor furniture, creating a perfect spot for entertaining.
A pair of lounge chairs invite you to sit back and relax under this wood pergola. The chairs reside on a stone patio that overlooks the home's beautifully landscaped backyard.

- Vice Presidential debate, October 5, 2004.
- John Nichols, of The Nation Magazine. His new book is called Dick: The Man Who is President.
At the Vice Presidential debate, John Edwards dropped what pundits are calling the "H-Bomb" on Dick Cheney–Halliburton. We speak with John Nichols of The Nation magazine and author of Dick: The Man Who Is President about Halliburton's record while Cheney was its CEO and beyond. [includes rush transcript]
This is a rush transcript. Copy may not be in its final form.
AMY GOODMAN: I'm Amy Goodman as we continue to look at the debate last night between Dick Cheney and John Edwards. We'll analyze it. We're joined by three people, Rahul Mahajan, Bob Parry, also on the line with us, his new book that just came out looks at the full — well, Bush record from Watergate to Iraq. The book is called, Secrecy and Privilege: Rise of the Bush Dynasty from Watergate to Iraq. We're joined by John Nichols, his book is, Dick: The Man Who is President. Let's go to Gwen Ifill, the moderator of last night's debate.
GWEN IFILL: Mr. Vice President, in June of 2000, when you were still CEO of Halliburton, you said US businesses should be allowed to do business with Iran, because, quote, "Unilateral sanctions almost never work." After four years as Vice President now, and with Iran having been declared by your Administration as part of the axis of evil, do you still believe we should lift sanctions on Iran?
DICK CHENEY: No, I do not. At the time I was talking specifically about the question of unilateral sanctions, what happens when we impose unilateral sanctions, unless there's a collective effort, other people move in and take advantage of the situation and you don't have impact except to penalize American countries. We have sanctions on Iran now. We may well want to go to the UN Security Council and ask for tougher sanctions if they don't live up to their obligations under the International Atomic Energy Agency, a non-proliferation treaty. We have dealt with Iran differently than we have Iraq, partly because Iran has not yet, has Iraq did, violated 12 years of resolutions by the UN Security Council. We're working with the Brits and Germans and French, who have been negotiating with the Iranians. We were recently actively involved in the Board of Governors on the International Atomic Energy Agency, and there will be a follow-up meeting in November to determine whether or not Iran is living up to their commitments and obligations, and if they are not the Board of Governors will recommend sending the whole matter to the UN Security Council for the application of international sanctions, which I think would be exactly the right way to go. We're addressing North Korea on a similar basis, working with the Chinese, the South Koreans, the Japanese and others to try to bring them around. One of the great byproducts, for example, of what we did in Iraq and Afghanistan, is that five days after we captured Saddam Hussein, Moammar Khadafy and Libya came forward and announced that he was going to surrender his nuclear materials to the United States, which he has done. This is one of the biggest sources of proliferation in the world today, in terms of the threat that was represented by that. The suppliers' network that provided that, headed by Mr. A.Q. Khan has been shut down. We have made progress in dealing with the nuclear proliferation. We will continue to press hard on the North Koreans and the Iranians as well.
GWEN IFILL: Senator Edwards.
JOHN EDWARDS: The Vice President talks about the members or someone associated with Al Qaeda in Iraq. There are 60 countries that have members of Al Qaeda in them. How many of those countries are we going to invade? Not only that, he talks about Iran. Reality about Iran is that Iran has moved forward with their nuclear weapons program on their watch. They ceded responsibility to dealing with it to the Europeans. Now, the Vice President, as you pointed out, works — spoke out loudly for lifting the sanctions on Iran. John Kerry and I believe we need to strengthen the sanctions on Iraq, including closing the loophole that allows companies to use a subsidiary, offshore subsidiaries to do business with Iran. I mentioned Halliburton a few minutes ago in connection with the $87 billion; you raised it in this question. This is relevant because he was pushing for sanctions — lifting sanctions when he was the CEO of Halliburton. Here's why we didn't think Halliburton should have a no-bid contract. While he was CEO of Halliburton, they paid millions of dollars in fines for providing false information on their company. Just like Enron and Ken Lay. They did business with Libya and Iran, two sworn enemies of the United States. They're now under investigation for having bribed foreign officials during that period of time. Not only that, they have gotten the $7.5 billion no-bid contract in Iraq, and instead of part of their money being withheld, which is the way it's normally being done, because they're under investigation, they have continued to get their money.
AMY GOODMAN: Senator John Edwards on Dick Cheney and Halliburton. John Nichols, your response?
JOHN NICHOLS: I thought that Edwards actually did a little bit of the work; again, I would have liked to have seen him go a lot deeper, dig into this more. One of the things that I think is particularly notable about Cheney's activities in the 1990's, as CEO of Halliburton, a company he took over, by the way, after reorganizing how the Pentagon distributed contracts and also privatizing a lot of what was done in the military, making Halliburton a much more successful company and then moving into its leadership. But one of the things that he did at Halliburton was advocate very strongly for sort of an open borders approach all over the world. He wanted Halliburton to be able to go into virtually any country and one of the countries where Halliburton did business during his tenure as CEO was Iraq. In fact, Halliburton's business operations in Iraq were the subject of government investigation back in the 1990's, very serious matters. Cheney loves to say, "Well, those contracts came to Halliburton as part of a merger." That's true. But the bottom line was he maintained those contracts for months, years while serving as CEO. This is the kind of stuff that really ought to be a part of the dialogue. Not because Cheney's necessarily wrong. I think often sanctions don't work. And you know, he may — he may actually have had a good point on some of these things, but I do think that he plays a very ugly game of suggesting that he's the super patriot, that the second he saw any evidence of something that was untoward, a contract that had Halliburton doing business in Iraq, or doing business in Libya, or setting up hundreds of offshore operation corporations, that he would jump on it. The fact of the matter is, no, he's the exact opposite. He's the classic CEO, and the suggestion that he stopped being a classic CEO since entering the Vice Presidency is absurd.

Nine Films Make Oscar Foreign Film Shortlist
Posted on Wednesday, January 19th, 2011 by Germain Lussier
Next week, five films will be nominated for Best Foreign Language Film by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Today though, from the list of 65 films that were originally announced as eligible, the Academy has released a shortlist of nine films that remain contenders, four of which will soon get the short end of the stick. What films made the list? One of them is pictured above, read the full list after the jump.
Thanks to In Contention for getting this list up first and fastest. Here are the eligible films.
- Outside the Law – Algeria
- Incendies – Canada
- In a Better World – Denmark
- Dogtooth – Greece
- Confessions – Japan
- Biutiful – Mexico
- Life Above All – South Africa
- Even the Rain – Spain
- Simple Simon – Sweden
Just a few interesting things to note. Three of the Golden Globe nominees didn't make the cut, though the winner, In A Better World, did. Three of these nine films (Incendies, In A Better World and Life Above All) are distributed by Foreign Film Oscar powerhouse Sony Pictures Classics, which has won the award three out of the last four years (The Lives of Others, The Counterfeiters and The Secret In Their Eyes) and Biutiful was directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu, who was nominated for Best Director for Babel in 2007.
Out of all of the Oscar categories, Best Foreign Language Film is one of the most complicated and controversial. It has very intricate rules about how and when a film must be screened theatrically in its country or origin, it can't play anywhere else, if it's eligible for this category it won't be eligible in another other category in subsequent years, even if it hasn't been released in America yet and each country can only submit one film a year. Which people have argued is incredibly unfair. You can read the full list of rules by clicking here.
I'm a huge fan of Dogtooth, it probably would have made my top 10 if it opened in Los Angeles sooner than mid-January, and I've heard great things about many of these other films. Which have you seen and do you think will make it?

text: ACADEMIC CREDIT FOR INTERNSHIP POLITICAL SCIENCE / SOCIAL SCIENCE NOTE: Application forms must be submitted no later than the first day of classes in the term in which the internship is done. Qualified students can earn academic credit for an internship in public service organizations or governmentrelated offices or agencies. In addition to their work duties, interns also meet regularly with the Internship Director (ID), and complete a research project and other assignments stipulated by the ID. Responsibility for finding an appropriate internship position rests with the student. Interns are expected to do useful, professional staff work and are not to function as clerks, runners, typists, receptionists, etc. Internship credit cannot be earned for one=s established employment. To be eligible for credit, an internship must run the full semester; summer internships, the 13-week session. PREREQUISITES Those seeking credit under Political Science (POS4941) must have completed at least 60 hours; 15 of those with a C- or better in political science, including POS3713; and a gpa of 3.0 overall or in political science courses. Political Science internships must be government-related. Those seeking credit under the Interdisciplinary Social Science course (ISS4944) must have at least a gpa of 2.0 or better (3.0 if the internship is outside Tallahassee). It is strongly advised that the applicant have at least 60 hours completed toward the Bachelor=s degree. No student will be permitted internship credit in their first semester, or when they are on probation. RESTRICTIONS It is a violation of the Academic Honor Code for a student to register for subsequent internship credits for a placement in the same office, agency, or under the same supervisor as a previous internship. As such, this will result in a grade of F for the current internship. Students may register in one semester for social science credits and in another for political science credits so long as the two internships are different. ISS credits cannot count toward the Political Science major or minor. Political Science minors cannot count Political Science internship credits toward their minor requirements, but may count them as elective hours. PROCEDURES Once you have secured an internship, to apply for academic credit, complete the attached form and have your job supervisor read the letter addressed to them and complete their form. Return both forms to the Academic Coordinator in the Department of Political Science (Jerry Fisher, 535 Bellamy). No application will be accepted after the first day of classes of the term in which the internship is being done. The Department reserves the right to limit the number of students allowed to undertake internship credits. During the fall and spring semesters, the group of interns meets with the faculty director on a weekly basis – usually scheduled for Wednesday evenings at 5:30. If your internship is out-of-town or you are otherwise unable to attend these meetings, you must make alternative arrangements with the instructor. During the summer term, the meetings are often replaced by regular e-mail correspondence. In either case -- whatever semester you are doing your internship – it is your responsibility to remain in contact with the instructor, to make sure all assignments are turned in on time, and to fulfill the requirements for the course. APPLICATION FOR ACADEMIC CREDIT FOR INTERNSHIP Submit to the Academic Coordinator in Political Science no later than the first day of classes of the internship term. Name _________________________________________________ SSN*** __________________________________ Semester/year of internship ______________________________ FSU email _____________________________ Please indicate which credits you wish to be approved for: Interdisciplinary Social Science Political Science 3 hours 6 hours _____ _____ _____ _____ Agency where internship will be done ______________________________________________________________________ Type of work to be done _________________________________________________________________________________ Supervisor form should include details I have read the material regarding internships and understand the course requirements: -- Work at least 20 hours per week for 6 hours credit; at least 10 hours per week for 3 hours credit (An internship must span the entire semester; in summer it must be at least the 13-week A session) -- Attend regularly scheduled group meetings with the faculty director (In fall and spring, the group usually meets Wednesdays at 5:30; summer varies or is handled by e-mail) -- Write a research paper and complete other assignments as stipulated by the faculty director.

We expect that this will be a positive experience for all concerned and stand ready to do whatever we can to make that so. You may be familiar with our internship program, but I'd like to take this opportunity to review some of the aspects that pertain directly to you as the intern's supervisor. The primary points I want to highlight are: Your intern is applying to receive academic credit for her/his work with you this semester. (Most interns also take regular courses in addition to the internship. Part of the requirements for those credits may mean that they attend meetings held at FSU at 5:30 on Wednesdays. Toward the end of the semester, you will be asked to give a written general evaluation of the intern's performance and to grade her/him. A form will be provided for this purpose. Part of the student's grade is based on a research project done under the guidance of the Internship Director. While you are in no way responsible for assisting with that project or the paper the student writes, you may be in a position to provide data or organizational history that could aid the student. It is the student's responsibility to seek the information they need, but we ask your cooperation to the extent possible. Interns are considered pre-professionals and, as such, should be given meaningful tasks that relate to the core purpose of your organization. While answering the phone or opening mail can be a part of nearly any job, those clerical type functions must not be the primary activity of an intern. The purpose of the internship is that the student gains practical experience that augments coursework. The assignment must enable the student to learn about decision making, influencing public policy, government operations, public service, and the like. Interns are expected to do useful, professional staff work and are not to function as clerks, runners, typists, receptionists, etc. Monetary payment is at the discretion of the organization. o o o o o PLEASE RETAIN THIS LETTER FOR YOUR FILES. Please complete the accompanying form and give it to your intern to submit with her/his application form. Again, let me express the Department's sincere appreciation for your participation in our internship program. If I may be of service in any way, please feel free to contact me at 644-7305 or email@example.com.

I have been meaning to put these photos up for so long, it's embarassing. The event occurred in January after all. But having adored Jean Dujardin in the just-released silent film The Artist (definitely a must-see), I decided that perhaps here, too, fewer words can be more. There are indeed stories behind these creators, and if you're interested in anything in particular, feel free to leave a question in the comments section...Enjoy!

Last Day of 2014 Exploring Connecticut
The morning of New Years Eve, we jumped in the car with Sasha and set out to see some more of Connecticut. We saw adorable town after adorable town, and had lunch at an old fashioned general store near Goshen. We drove through Cornwall, a perfect little town with a 200 year old covered bridge. The day trip ended with a hike to the top of a beautiful hill, where we were able to document the last day of the year with justice. ...
Planning for the trip
My flight to New Zealand is in 4 days and I think I have everything ready to go. It is hard to say though because I have never planned for a trip quite like this.
The main supplies I will be bringing are:
- 65 Liter Backpack
- 2 person tent
- Cooking stove and utilities,

We sat upstairs on the balcony so it was a little quieter ...

Spacewalkers deploy solar array mast canisters BY WILLIAM HARWOOD STORY WRITTEN FOR CBS NEWS "SPACE PLACE" & USED WITH PERMISSION Posted: March 19, 2009 Spacewalkers Steven Swanson and Richard Arnold attached the S6 solar array truss segment to the international space station today, plugged in power and data cables, unlocked a set of radiator panels and coaxed two mast canisters and blanket boxes into position for array deployment Friday. They had to apply a bit of elbow grease to get the mast canisters and their beta gimbal assemblies rotated into position and in one case, only three of four support masts could be locked in place. But that was sufficient and mission control told the astronauts to press on. "We can confirm that we have the other three confirmed locked," astronaut Joseph Acaba radioed from inside Discovery. "So we show ourselves in a good config." "We did copy all of that discussion," replied Lucia McCullough from Houston. "We are good to proceed." Swanson and Arnold then rotated solar array blanket boxes into position for deployment, removed thermal covers from electrical components and jettisoned them overboard as planned. Before wrapping up the excursion, Swanson asked to double-check the unlatched support bar and to take pictures if he was unable to coax it into its final position. "I tried to pull that pin out," he reported. "It did not move. I tried to get a little leverage on it and I still could not get it to move. And so it seems to be just kind of stuck in a halfway spot." Flight controllers re-confirmed the array canister was firmly supported with three locked bars and the astronauts began collecting their tools before heading back to the airlock. The final task on today's agenda was deployment of a folded set of radiator panels the spacewalkers unlatched earlier. The radiator appeared to unfold normally. Swanson and Arnold began repressurizing the space station's Quest airlock module at 7:23 p.m. EDT, officially ending the successful spacewalk. "Swanee and Ricky, you guys just did a fantastic job today. Right now, we're looking at about six hours, so it was really good work," Acaba radioed. "And Houston, thanks for all your support. Couldn't have done it without you." "Hey, we just echoed that," McCullough called from mission control. "That was outstanding. For you and the rest of the combined crew, we're delighted to accept delivery and installation of the S6 truss." Said space station commander MIke Fincke: "I just wanted to say welcome back aboard the space station. It's a lot bigger than when you left it. Great job out there. You guys were outstanding. Thanks for the hard work." Today's spacewalk began at 1:16 p.m. and ran six hours and seven minutes, ending 23 minutes ahead of schedule. This was the 121st spacewalk devoted to station assembly and maintenance, the second so far this year and the first of three planned by Discovery's crew. Total EVA construction time now stands at 762 hours and three minutes, or nearly 32 days.

How Do You Cut Sugar From Your Diet?
How Have You Cut Back on Sugar?
Like us on Facebook
The good news: we're eating less added sugar, according to a recent study that found that Americans get 13 percent of their calories from added sugars in food and drinks. And while the rate of added sugar in our diets has declined from previous years, we're still not close to the recommended amount of added sugar we should be eating every day, which experts say should be less than 100 calories (or six teaspoons).
Even so, the decline in the amount of sugary drinks and huge dessert servings we're eating is still a good thing. Tell us: how have you cut sugar from your diet? Vote in our poll and add your advice on how to cut sugar cravings below!

UC Berkeley philosopher John Searle is no stranger to challenging authority. After all, he was the first tenured professor to join Berkeley's Free Speech Movement. Today he is one of our leading philosophers and in his new book "Seeing Things As They Are," Searle takes on icons like Rene Descartes and Immanuel Kant, and outlines his own theory of perception. Searle joins us to talk about why Western philosophy is all wrong about how we experience reality.
Every year, activists from six continents are awarded the San Francisco-based Goldman Environmental Prize. Known as the "green Nobel," winners each receive $175,000 for their commitment to the environment. We talk to three of this year's recipients about their work, which includes great personal risk.
San Francisco Police Chief Greg Suhr's efforts to hold officers accountable for racist and homophobic text messages may be in jeopardy. Suhr has said he would fire eight officers over the offensive texts. But on Friday, the San Francisco Chronicle reported that a two-year delay by the police department's Internal Affairs Division in informing Suhr about the texts could jeopardize the chief's attempts to discipline the officers. We'll discuss the latest developments in the texting scandal.

Last month, a jury ordered artists Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams to pay Marvin Gaye's family $7.3 million. The duo had been accused of ripping off Gaye's 1977 hit "Got to Give It Up" for their song "Blurred Lines." Now, hip-hop mogul Jay Z faces his own copyright infringement trial. We'll examine one of music's age-old questions: when is a song a homage, and when is it simply a ripoff?
More than half the investigations of group homes for foster youth in California go unresolved, according to a new report by ProPublica published in the California Sunday Magazine. Between 2009 and 2014, the state's Department of Social Services left complaints as serious as physical abuse, improper sexual activity and incorrect use of restraints by staff go unanswered. We discuss the report and look at the challenges facing California's group home system. What reforms may be appropriate?
Public support for same-sex marriage is rising in all 50 states, even in states where it is banned, according to a new UCLA poll. By that and other measures, American society appears to be more accepting of gays and lesbians than in decades past. But in his new book "It's Not Over," journalist Michelangelo Signorile warns that complacency threatens the LGBT rights movement's future success. Signorile joins us to talk about the book and the fight for LGBT equality.
Confirming what many air travelers already know, more planes were late, more bags were lost and more passengers were bumped from flights in 2014 than the previous year. That's according to the annual Airline Quality Rating report released this week, which also found that passenger complaints across all airlines were up by 22 percent. We discuss the report, survey recent trends in the industry and get tips on how to find the best fares and flights.
Agriculture consumes about 40 percent of the state's water, or 80 percent of water available for human use. Critics question the viability of growing water-intensive crops like almonds and rice, but others argue the state's water woes are too complex to pin on a single industry. In the first installment of Forum's Drought Watch series, we look at agriculture's water consumption and conservation practices, and how the industry may need to adapt to a hotter and drier climate.
Are you getting everything you are entitled to from Social Security? PBS Newshour journalist Paul Solman was not. But after getting a tip from his economist friend Laurence Kotlikoff a few years ago, Solman collected nearly $50,000 in spousal benefits he didn't know were available to him. Solman and Kotlikoff have written a new book "Get What's Yours: The Secrets to Maxing Out Your Social Security," which explains how to optimize spousal benefits and offers other ways to get smarter about Social Security.
British author, poet and naturalist Helen Macdonald's new book is a memoir about her father's unexpected and sudden death. It's also a detailed look at how she learned to overcome her grief by training a goshawk, a bird with a reputation as "murderous, difficult to tame, sulky, fractious and foreign." Macdonald joins us to talk about her acclaimed book, "H is for Hawk."
U.S. Senator Marco Rubio jumped into the presidential fray on Monday, saying he would be a leader for "a new American century." The Florida Republican is the third GOP candidate to enter the race, along with fellow senators Ted Cruz and Rand Paul. Rubio's announcement comes a day after Democrat Hillary Clinton formally launched her campaign, positioning herself as champion for "everyday Americans." We discuss the early jockeying for position in the 2016 race.
Bestselling author T.C. Boyle has written 25 books and shows no sign of losing steam. The Los Angeles Times calls his latest, "The Harder They Come," "a full-throated Harley Davidson of a novel." The book begins with Sten Stensen, a Vietnam veteran who is vacationing in Costa Rica and kills an armed robber. When Sten returns home, he finds his unhinged son dating a much older woman and involved with a radical anarchist group. Infused with dark humor, Boyle's novel explores the woods of Northern California and the shadowy parts of the American psyche.
"I'm getting a life's lesson about grace from my mother in the ICU." That's what NPR host Scott Simon tweeted from his mother's deathbed to over 1.2 million followers. In sharing an incredibly private moment so publicly, Simon sparked a groundswell of support and sympathy. In his new memoir, "Unforgettable: A Son, a Mother, and the Lessons of a Lifetime," he invites us to explore the bond between mother and son. Parents, he says, "understand that we don't fully grow up until some day we lose them."

General Info
A Variety of Tastes
Hi. I"m a 23 year old guy. I have a variety of preferences and turn ons. I"m not looking for any hookups or anything. I"m just here to enjoy the pr0nz. This is easily the best amateur tube site out there. So much original content. Not really a fan of big production stuff. I should probably tell you about how I"m a bi today. As a kid, for some reason, I was always interested in other guys" dicks. I would always sneak a peak at the urinals. That is, until I ended up getting caught. Fast forward to puberty. That"s where the hormones to be attracted to girls kicked in. Even though I did develop the attraction to girls, the guys have always been at the back of my mind.
Turn Ons
Guys, Girls, Trannies, I should note I prefer chubby guys/girls, but it isn"t too important to me. Genitals are genitals. I kind of prefer cut cocks over uncut (I"m uncut myself, so cut appears more interesting to me), etc.
Turn Offs
SMOKING, Poop. Not too big on Tatoos or body piercing. I can"t think of anything else.

We Love San Pedro, Surliness And All
San Pedro via Willy Blackmore. |
We received a lot of hate mail after San Pedro topped our recent list of "L.A.'s 5 Surliest Neighborhoods."
Let's get a few things straight. It was all in jest! We love San Pedro, from your Fish Market to your Lobster Festival, from Ports O' Call Village to the Maritime Museum. You're L.A. to the bone.
But here's the thing: Some of you took offense to being ranked as "worse" than some other 'hoods. This wasn't a list of ghettos or crime infestation, people. This was about tough guys. And, funny enough, some of your letters, while decrying our list, also admitted to some of the port community's surly ways.
Our favorite examples:
Alicia writes:
Not all dock workers are thugs and not everyone who is Crotian or Portuguese are immigrants here. I think San Pedro gets a bad wrap because we're deemed "The Ghetto by the Sea" but I wouldn't live anywhere else and when I have children, they'll be proud to be San Pedrian's too.
See also: What's With the Attitude? L.A.'s 5 Surliest Neighborhoods.
Paul says:
I too was born in Pedro and spent my youth in Wilmas [Wilmington]. I was in town today, in fact.Your article is poor journalism at best.
Robert Towne and the head of the Mexican Mafia also grew up in Pedro.
Not surly at all!

Alice writes:
Not everyone can afford Irvine or Newport or even Palos Verdes, which also borders San Pedro.
Gina says:
You forgot about the many Italian immigrants who live in Pedro. Freddie the leg breaker was a real guy in Pedro...my grandpas friend.
See also: Los Angeles' Douchiest Neighborhoods.
Jess states:
San Pedro is considered the "ghetto by the sea" and home to the punk rock and skater scene.... Nothing beats a brave night by the sea!
For real though.
And finally -- of course! -- while arguing that San Pedro is not scary, Jerry extended a friendly invitation:
... Come on down if your not scared.

bacelar valente, mario (2010) Bohr's quantum postulate and time in quantum mechanics. [Preprint]
| PDF - Submitted Version Download (136Kb) | Preview |
In this paper I shall consider the concept of time used in the quantum theory from the perspective of Bohr's ideas as presented in what he called the quantum postulate and some of its consequences. In particular, Bohr's views on the role of the experimental arrangement that defines the context in which we can consider the state of the quantum system to be defined – and the related interpretation of the quantum wave function –, enables a view on the time concept being used in the theory that makes compatible the discontinuous changes in individual physical systems with a continuous description in time of the behavior of an ensemble of systems. A crucial aspect will be to show that Bohr's ideas are coherent with the use of an external classical time.
