and boy did I let them have it. My opinions that is They asked questions like how can we make the card better, etc. They also asked if I had other cards and I said yes Starwood and they asked me to compare services and how they can be improved and how their upgrades and free amenities are.. I basically said that they need to STOP the Rack Rate only to qualify restriction and be more like Starwood and on and on and on. I also said that they need to give their loews first and loews gold members benefits because right now they are just plain useless. Also mentioned that they need to train their employees on helping with loews members and be more open about giving upgrades rather than restricting them. If you all get one. Do it so they can make the so called loews program top notch.
I got one, but when I entered my age and how many flight segments I've taken in the past year for business it told me that I didn't qualify!
Same here. I didnt qualify, too. "Loews Hotels is conducting an important survey among a select group of its recent guests.

Milwaukee Music Video: See Klassik's new video for "Anything"
Jazz-inspired local rapper Klassik (Kellan Abston) is already up for some choice RadioMilwaukee Music Awards - for solo artist of the year and catchiest song of 2012.
Now if he had released the music video for that catchy song contender, "Anything," just a tiny bit earlier, guaranteed he would have gotten a best music video nom. »Read Full Blog Post
Milwaukee Film Festival picks: Day Eleven
One regrettable, if inevitable, occurrence during a film festival is that films you want to see often play opposite each other. That occurs Sunday at the Milwaukee Film Festival with parallel screenings of "The Act of Killing" (Downer Theatre) and "Big Star: Nothing Can Hurt Me" (Fox-Bay Cinema Grill), both at 8 p.m.
"The Act of Killing" is an appalling yet compelling and strangely beautiful documentary in which the Indonesian gangsters and paramilitary group members who killed 1 million Chinese "communists" in 1965 re-create their crimes as surreal movie scenes. »Read Full Blog Post

Lake Forest, IL (PRWEB) December 08, 2012
1-800-GO-VAPOR.com, a leading U.S. marketer of vapor steam cleaners with customers in every state in the nation and seven foreign countries, today announced that it intends to actively market the Ladybug Tekno 2350 steam cleaner to veterinary hospitals.
"Disinfectants are used everyday by animal health care staff to kill bacteria, viruses and fungi on surfaces found within their clinics," says V.K. Dunlop of1-800-GO-VAPOR.com. "While these products are necessary, not all are as effective as you might think."
Using ordinary tap water, the Ladybug Tekno 2350 with Ladybug's proprietary patented Thermo Accelerated Nano Crystal Sanitation (TANCS®) technology is scientifically proven to produce better results than traditional disinfectants, qualifying the Tekno as a disinfection device for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA Est. No. 82121-WA-01) and making it more suitable than traditional hard-surface disinfectants for many healthcare settings such as animal hospitals.
"Many traditional disinfectants are highly toxic and contain potentially cancer-causing chemicals that threaten the health of animal clinic staff," says Dunlop. "The simplified water-only protocol of the Tekno 2350 cleans, disinfects and deodorizes almost any surface without chemicals."
Scientific testing has shown that TANCS®-equipped steam cleaners are a safe and cost-effective way to kill canine parvovirus.
Commonly called parvo, canine parvovirus is a contagious virus affecting dogs caused by the canine parvovirus type 2 (CPV-2) virus. Parvo attacks rapidly reproducing cells, like th

The latest Ravenswood episode made one thing clear about Mrs. Grunwald: she is very much in touch with the supernatural… and there's a reason why.
The character, first introduced on Pretty Little Liars, protects Collins and takes care of a funeral home. Oh, and she also have incredibly blue eyes.
Elsewhere, it's evident that Collins and Grunwald aren't the only ones who have this kind of supernatural connection. Dylan is working with Max, we know that. And Tess and Springer are also rather suspicious.
What was up with that scene toward the end? Did you catch it? Do you need to relive it?
Watch Ravenswood online now and chime in:

CREDO Mobile organized most of the protesters gathered outside Obama's $7,500-a-plate fundraiser, rallying against construction of the Keystone XL Pipeline across the Midwest, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.
Advocates of medical marijuana conducted a news conference near Obama's fundraiser, announced they were preparing a 2012 ballot initiative to increase regulations on medical marijuana dispensaries.
California Assemblyman Tom Ammiano, a San Francisco Democrat, called himself part of the "loyal opposition" to Obama and wanted the president to "rein in" the Justice Department of Justice, which recently began cracking down on medical marijuana dispensaries in California. While state voters approved the regulation of medical marijuana, there are no such distinctions in federal law.
"They're acting like thugs," Ammiano told the Chronicle.
Other protesters included Tea Party movement supporters, members of the "Occupy" movement, and anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan, who protested former President George W. Bush's war policy.

How many of you have watched a film or read a book and come away feeling you could create something as good, if not better? How many of you have actually gotten down to doing that?
Avinash Singh and his wife Geeta, who produced and directed their 'baby' Listen Amaya together, are perhaps one of the few people who can confidently say 'yes' to the second question.
A trip to the International Film Festival India (IFFI) in Goa one year got them thinking. "When we saw the quality of some of the films there, we realised even we had stories to tell," says Avinash, who has produced and directed films for Discovery and the National Geographic Channel.
It helped that they had a story ready; one that Geeta wrote eight years ago and that they intended to develop into a short film. They changed their mind after friends who read the script, suggested that they develop it into a full-length feature film. That led to the birth of Listen Amaya — the story of Amaya, a 22-year-old free spirit, and her turbulent relationship with her widowed mother after she discovers her mother has (gasp!) fallen in love again.
Working with veterans
"Most filmmakers are storytellers. I thought 'why not aspire to tell a story for a bigger screen?' I was willing to put my money where my mouth was," says Avinash. That's exactly what the couple did. They personally financed the film, a rare feat for first-time directors. Never mind that they had no film world connections and never mind that they had to move to Mumbai from Delhi lock, stock and barrel.
The film brings together veteran actors Deepti Naval and Farooq Sheikh after 28 years. The hunt for Amaya, played by actress Swara Bhaskar, ended at a Mumbai coffee shop. "Swara must've thought I was a stalker. She came and briefly chatted with someone I was sitting with at the cafe. After she left, I got her number and immediately called her," laughs Avinash.
With Naval and Sheikh already on board, Swara heard the script and said she would sign on the very next day. Was it intimidating for a first-time director to boss around the veterans? Avinash says working with established actors was a minor hurdle but they soon won their confidence because he and his wife were so sure of their script. "When Deepti and Farooq realised the script was like the Bible for us, their confidence was restored. It was at such a point that they became director's actors," says Avinash.
What budget?
The film, made with "1/4th the marketing budget of a big film", was shot in just 30 days in Delhi. "We didn't have a big budget so we never wasted time taking multiple shots. I believe taking optional shots is a sign of insecurity," says Avinash.
Geeta bristles at any perception that theirs is a niche or serious film. "Ours is a fun film. There may be five songs in it, but they are there for a reason," she says. "I do not understand the business of categorising cinema as mainstream or art. When you go to buy books, you never say you want a mainstream book or an indie book. So why should it be for film?" she adds.
While Avinash directed the film and also wrote the dialogues, Geeta is behind the screenplay and the editing.Did the fact that they had poured their savings into this 'baby', the fact that they were married and the fact that they seem to be very headstrong people lead to tension on the sets? Geeta laughs. "We were ready to throw things at each other," she acknowledges. But even though there was conflict over various aspects of the film, they made a great team. "We had very different thoughts and arguments, but the diversity made for a better film. We learned to keep our egos aside," says Avinash.
Beauty in the breakdown
The meticulous nature of the couple is reflected when Avinash talks about the close attention paid to their moodbook. "When people are happy, their eyes twinkle. When our characters are happy, we've focused the camera on that. If they're angry, we've shifted the light away. All these details play a huge role."
Listen Amaya has won awards for the Best Feature Film and Best Director Feature Film at the 2012 New Jersey Independent South Asian Cine Fest.
Avinash attributes this to the fact that theirs is a story told simply, yet one that urges the viewer to think and stays with him or her long after watching it. This has been the steepest learning curve of our lives and we are grateful that we got a chance to tell our story, he says. "We hope our work gets noticed. We're not here to save cinema. We just want to ensure that there's different

Aussies love their cars. Our attachment to motoring and specifically motorsport is woven in to us - the large distances SHOULD mean we also love to fly, but our heavily regulated and overpriced airlines make it too expensive. We have grown up with the off-cuts of the growing foreign motoring industry - the Fords and such, and have changed it to fit, given it our own "unique" twist, integrating it into the culture, evolving it into a way of life for the Land Down Under.
We have our Roads and Traffic Authoriy. We get 4 demerit points as a learner driver, going at a maximum of 80km/h. We spend (now) 3 years as a "P Driver" with a whopping 90km/h limit. As a full driver we get 12 demerit points, 110km/h limit and we lose up to 3 for realtively minor offences, and drink driving is punished even more severely but still unfortunately common practice. We have shit roads in some states, we have bad accidents. And we love it!
We grow up on a diet of weekends chock full of motorsport - rally, supercars, speedways, superbikes, Formula 1. Throughout it all is a long running battle - for our attention and devotion to one "code", to a racing team, to a manufacturer. Our greatest icons of motorsport become successful businessmen and brand names, drifting in to myth, erasing the face, the deeds and instead selling us tyres, shock absorbers and mileage service at the same time. Robert Jane became Bob Jane T-Marts. Peter Brock sells us Bridgestone tyres. Mark Skaife sells us fake wood floor pannelling, complete with a shot of his garage covered in high-gloss floorboards with a Commodore parked on it. Atrocious.
The true renaissance of motorsport came from the foundation of the Australian spirit - rebellion. The dominating force of motorsport was foreign - foreign manufacturers established foreign races in our contry, and brooked no opposition. In true fighting spirit, we established our own manufacturer, clawed our way up to be competitive, strived to be number 1.
The old enmity
Ford v Holden.
Holden is an Australian car manufacturer. Holden is THE Australian car manufacturer.
Established by James Alexander Holden in 1856 as a saddlery, it evolved in to motorbike sidecars for the war effort in 1913. In 1926, General Motors Australia (GMA) is formed, then merged in 1931 to form General Motors Holden (GMH) in 1931, using the now-famous "lion and stone" emblem that stands as the mark of Aussie motoring to this day. It is Aussie to its core - built, designed, manufactured, owned in Australia.
Ford, on the other hand, was an invader. Its simple blue emblem. Its gas-guzzling vehicles. Its American ethos. What possible force could stop us hating it?
Behind all this is something that sets us as a motorsport country apart, and (partially) explains our bloodlust for everything that goes "vroom" - Supercars.
Supercars and "The Mountain"
Supercars has it's origin in the NASCAR races of America. However, the unlike mind-numbingly large numbers of laps around a boring, donut-shaped ring, its custom-built stock, it's showgirls, Supercar racing is all about the delicate balance of performance, reliability and HANDLING. And a big beer washup at the end of the day. Supercar racing is based around standard car bodies, and as such has lead to safety, performance and handling improvements in their passenger class brethren. The track layout required for Supercar racing means that any tracks, including F1 tracks, reserved for those magnificent totally unobtainable beasts, now have more mundane competitors. Supercars represent the epitome of commercial stock racing - they must use standard commercial vehicle bodies, with different degrees of cusomisability based on the level of racing.
The development of the Supercar race lead to a number of things. New tracks. Development of the handling/reliability/performance trade-off. Heroes. Villains. Rivalry. It is because of Supercar racing that there is such a healthy desire (some would say obsession) with motorsport and motoring in general in our wide brown land. And it is because of one race that Supercars got as popular as it is.
The Bathurst 1000
Bathurst is a small country town of little other repute with lots of charm, a thriving farming industry and steady growth opportunities in the New South Wales (NSW) outback. It has its origins in the gold rushes, the layover towns and small country establishments. But it also has one other thing. A whopping great big bloody mountain right on its outskirts. Its steep slopes and the relatively flat surrounds makes it the perfect place to put a challenging and testing race circuit. The Bathurst course is twisty, windy, narrow in some places, has sharp, steep rises and sudden drops. Perfect for Supercar manufacturers to test their mettle. But it does more than this to the CARS.
Bathurst is a LONG race. The 4+ km circuit is raced to make up a total of 1000kms (previously 500 miles!) makes it a test for the drivers, pit crews and support staff. Co-drivers are essential and often play an important tactical role in winning at The Mountain, often "graduating" to move on to primary driver status. Bathurt is the pinnacle of Supercar racing - millions of spectators tune in by the tube to follow their team - watch the Holden Commodores take on the Ford Falcons. Tens of thousands of people flock to a small counrty town, to watch their team fly around the course, cheering every lap. Which leads kind of nicely to the breakdown of manufacturers in Australia.
Who makes what
Rather than a comprehensive list, I thought I'd list the eye-catching (for both good AND bad reasons) of each manufacturer...
Holden - known for making a variety of medium to large passenger cars.
Astra. A new contender, the Astra is a re-badged Opel, with a 1.8-2.0l engine, with little modification. Nice to drive, popular for its price and economy and styling. Has a bigger brother in the Vectra, 2.0-2.2l with same basic styling - also a re-badged Opel. Barina. A chicks car. Small (1.3l). Bubble shaped. Annoying. Commodore. Their most popular car and Australia's chosen son, consistanly at #1 or #2 of the most popular cars in Australia. The Commodore is Holden's "stock" car. It is large, weighty, but backed up with top-notch brakes, powerful engines, and due to its history in Supercar racing, has a huge range of both official and after-market modifications available. Comes in standard Commodore, with engines up to 5.2l V8, the more luxurious Calais and Berlina models, or tuned and sporty as the classic Australian hoon icon - the Monaro. Statesman. Top of the line luxury, also variant as the Caprice.
and finally...
HSV. Holden Special Vehicles. Oh yeah. The top-of-the-line street machines, these babies are tuned to the eyeballs for performance and looks. If you can't afford a Ferrari, buy a Clubsport or SS Commodore HSV. Yowch!
Ford - brought in from the good ole USofA. Or at least brought in from USA...
Falcon. The main contender for the top spot with the Commodore, it's rounded styling and sleek lines make it very popular. But remember - you are either a Ford Falcon man or a Holden Commodore man. And never in-between. As an aside, you don't see many mixed Ford/Holden couples... Ka. Yuk. Horrible styling, terrible to drive, ugly all over and under powered. Why bother?? Laser. A long-running small car, the Laser competes with the Astra and Nissan Pulsar for major brand small car sales. Nicer styling recently has really helped boost flagging sales. Focus. THe same as the European models, but only recently (2001) brought in to Australia. Needs a few years until I can make a suitably sarcastic comment... but I'd like it (if I was a Ford man...)
The Rest
Mitsubishi Magna - the contender with Commodore and Falcon, it's traditional red has been a main-stay for non partisan people. Hyundai Excel. Vvvvrrrr p-tish! A small car you'd expect to be a chicks car, it is often seen hotted up by, uh, "Mediteranean" gentlemen - lowered, mag wheels, blower valves. Considering it only managed 89kw to start with, getting a 20% boost is laughable... Mitsubishi Mirage. Looks like a Hyundai Excel. Same characteristics, but more chicks drive them and thus shunned as a hooner. Nissan Pulsar. Used to be a bread and butter boring car, the 2001 model was totally overhauled and looks sportier and sexier than ever - boosting its strong sales. Available in boring LX (1.6l) or the sleeker Q or ST (1.8l). I drive one - all white, number plate ZIP33Y. They go really well and have power everything, great handling and enough power to surprise that 318 Beemer at the lights. BMW 318. Cheaper each year, still a mark of daddy having too much money. Sports and other models available. Mercedes Benz C180. Ditto. Mazda 323. Multi-variant, from hatch to wagon to sedan. Non-descript - as in no truly bad points or outstanding ones. Toyota Camry. Much like the Mazda 323, a non-descript and ubiquitous small-to-medium like so many others. Chrysler Voyager/Toyota Tarago. Virtually identical, they are people movers and minibus family main-stays.
This turned out to be a lot harder than I thought. In reality, to go through cars in Australia would take many many nodes, outlining history, manufacturers, the races, the heroes etc etc. I just hope ...
Maybe a sub-quest?? Please feel free to add to this writeup, mare softlinks, or /msg me with corrections...
Holden cars were an Australian government initiative in the late 40's to establish a 'local' car company. The original 48-215 (Often mistakenly known as an 'FX') was designed with help from Chevrolet (USA), and in fact the first Holden's were registered as Chevrolets. There were some truly Australian car companies, such as Bolwell which produced sports cars out of the Mornington Penisula until relatively recently; Lightburn (A washing machine company) which produced the Zeta - Its main claim to fame (besides almost total obscurity) was the fact that the driver made the car go in reverse by turning the ignition key in the opposite direction, thus making the engine run in reverse. There is one in the Birdwood museum in South Australia; and Hartnett - again small, strange-looking cars.

Countess of Grantham, Cora Crawley (Elizabeth McGovern) lends an air of grace and decorum to the halls of Downton Abbey. Her American fortune saved the estate when she married Earl of Grantham, Robert (Hugh Bonneville), with whom she had three daughters — Mary (Michelle Dockery), Edith (Laura Carmichael), and the late Sybil (Jessica Brown-Findlay). In Season 1, Cora discovered she was pregnant, but an unfortunate bath time incident involving the twisted lady's maid Sarah O'Brien (Siobhan Finneran) led to a miscarriage. No matter life's setbacks, however, Cora moves ahead with her head held high, doing what she can to guide her wayward daughters.

Are you content with where you live?
Content yes, ideal for us no.
Our house is pretty inside and out and served us well raising our 5 kids here but they are all almost grown up half of them are moved out now so its too big for us and too much work and upkeep and maintenance and cost.
We dont want a house ever again after this we want to move to an apt with a pool and gym and 24/7 maintenance.
Also the town is ok bc its very safe so we are grateful for that but its also boring and we have to drive to the city to do anyting fun pretty much so we are looking forward to moving hopefully this fall.
Our house is currently up for short sale anyway
I really like where I live and hope to always live in this part of the state. I wouldn't mind being a little closer to my family.

Toxoplasmosis from Rabbits?
I am concerned because I am pregnant and have read that feline litter box duties could lead to toxoplasmosis. No one seems to know if this could be contracted by handling rabbit litter boxes. So far my husband has been really wonderful about cleaning the litter boxes but I would really like to know if this is something I should be concerned with. I was hoping you might have some insight on this.
Cynthia Alex According to Carolynn Harvey, DVM, toxoplasmosis is adapted to the cat, and only reproduces in the cat. Occasionally, a rabbit or a dog can become infected, but if they do, it's a non-patent infection, meaning that it doesn't reproduce and a rabbit (or dog) cannot shed it. |

They were produced during the same period that Olympus was producing their 1/2 frame cameras which IMHO helped them develop a lens production capability far in excess of what they were and are credited for. I used an RC on numerous occaisions along with the 1/2 frames and found it to be sharp and of high contrast. If memory serves me, it was subject to a little flare, and therefore benefitted from a lens shade. > Brian Levy, J.D. Agincourt Ont. firstname.lastname@example.com

Working Lunch was a television programme broadcast on BBC Two which covered business, personal finance and consumer news between 1994 and 2010. The programme was first aired on 19 September 1994. It had a quirky, relaxed style, especially when compared to other BBC business shows such as World Business Report. In April 2010, the BBC announced that the programme was being cancelled at the end of July 2010. GMT with George Alagiah took its place in the schedule at 12:30 on BBC Two.[1][2]
The original title sequence created by Piers Helm, featured a real goldfish and a rubber shark in a tank that contained the programmes subject matter represented as kitsch fish tank objects. These objects were a treasure chest, bank, factory and a version of the Richard Rogers Lloyds building. The title sequence led to a virtual set that was designed to look like a converted warehouse when in fact, the studio it came from was the smallest BBC News studio. By 2000, the title sequence had been changed by BBC Design to a computer generated sequence in which a goldfish is trying to escape from a shark on board a sunken ship. The programme graphics also reflected this style with a marine-themed studio background. Other graphics were in a "crude clipart" style.
2008 relaunch[edit]
The show relaunched on 6 October 2008, with new titles, set and presenters. The familiar goldfish and shark were replaced by a piggy bank. Presenters Paddy O'Connell, Adam Shaw and Nik Wood were replaced by Declan Curry and Naga Munchetty, the latter joining from Bloomberg TV. The new format was unpopular with viewers and the vast majority of comments about it were negative.[3][4][5]
Presenters and reporters[edit]
Originally, the show was presented by Adrian Chiles and Adam Shaw. Chiles, who left the programme on 26 January 2007 after 12 and-a-half-years, to become the co-host of the BBC One current affairs and lifestyle programme The One Show. He was replaced by Nik Wood. On Fridays, Paddy O'Connell fronted the show with Adam Shaw instead of Nik Wood. Both O'Connell and Shaw bowed out on 26 September 2008.[6]
In 2007, former footballer Graeme le Saux presented a series of items recorded in his birthplace of Jersey. Jenny Culshaw, a senior producer on the show, also occasionally presented items.
Other members of the Working Lunch team included Rachel Burden, Simon Gompertz, Rachel Horne, Rob Pittam and Gillian Lacey-Solymar,[7][8][9][10]
From 6 October 2008, a revamped lineup saw BBC Breakfast's former business presenter, Declan Curry and Naga Munchetty take over studio presentation, with Nik Wood returning to his former role of roving reporter, alongside Rob Pittam.[11]
Gillian Lacey-Solymar left the show on 29 January 2010.
Broadcast schedule[edit]
Weekdays at 12.30pm until 1pm, except on Wednesdays when it was broadcast an hour later. The programme was broadcast for 42 weeks of the year, taking a break for Easter, Christmas and some sports tournaments coverage, such as Wimbledon, the Olympic Games and golf.

Iraq shrine bombed, 5 die in clashes May 25, 2004 14:47 IST Fresh violence rocked Iraq with five civilians killed in clashes between US troops and Shiite militiamen and a mortar round exploding Tuesday inside Shiite Islam's holiest shrine, after President George W. Bush outlined his plans for a return to self-rule. The mortar exploded inside Imam Ali shrine in the central city of Najaf, wounding 10 people, an AFP correspondent at the scene and the office of radical Shiite cleric Moqtada Sadr said, in fighting that spread from nearby Kufa. The upper part of one of the main gold-covered gates leading to the imam's tomb was damaged and rubble strewn on the shrine's blood-stained floor. Sadr's office blamed the attack on US troops. In a major policy speech on Monday, Bush warned that "there are difficult days ahead and the way forward may sometimes appear chaotic." But he vowed the handover of sovereignty would take place at the end of June as planned. He also called for Baghdad's notorious Abu Ghraib jail to be razed in a bid to cap a prison abuse scandal. Medics said five people were killed and 18 wounded in the city of Kufa in overnight clashes between US soldiers and Sadr's Mehdi Army militiamen, who launched an anti-occupation uprising more than a month ago. Coalition officials have made it clear they are determined to wipe out the Mahdi Army and bring the popular leader to justice over his alleged role in the murder of a rival cleric last year. In Baghdad, one day after two Britons were killed in the capital, a car bomb exploded outside a hotel close to Australia's diplomatic mission, wounding three people including a child, police and security officers said. Three people were wounded when a car blew up outside the Kurma hotel, two of them hotel guests and the other a little girl passing nearby, said interior ministry spokesman Colonel Adnan Abdel Rahman. The blast left a huge hole in the ground and shattered glass at the hotel and nearby homes. Two cars were completely destroyed. "I can tell you there was an explosion. It was very loud, but it would be inaccurate to say there was a bomb outside the Australian embassy or where the Australians live," Neil Muels, head of the Canberra mission, told AFP. He said none of the nine-member Australian team had been hurt in the blast. Separately, the US military announced that one soldier was killed and four others wounded in a rocket attack on a coalition base northwest of Baghdad, around 2:20 pm (1020 GMT) Monday. The army has reported seven soldiers killed in the past seven days, bringing the US military death toll in Iraq to 797 since the start of the US-led invasion in March 2003, including 581 troops killed in action. Setting out his strategy for the power transfer and beyond in a Pennsylvania speech, Bush revealed the US plan to tear down the prison near Baghdad where US soldiers humiliated Iraqi detainees. He said the prison was "a symbol of disgraceful conduct by a few American troops who dishonored our country and disregarded our values," vowing that Washington will pay for a new maximum security facility. "When that prison is completed, detainees at Abu Ghraib will be relocated. Then, with the approval of the Iraqi government, we will demolish the Abu Ghraib prison as a fitting symbol of Iraq's new beginning." Seven soldiers have been charged for abusing and humilitating detainees, as a flood of photos and video clips have drawn international condemnation. One of the soldiers has been jailed for a year, in a first court martial. A senior US defence official has strongly denied that the upcoming replacement of Lieutenant General Ricardo Sanchez, the top US commander in Iraq, was linked to the Abu Ghraib scandal. Meanwhile, just over five weeks before the scheduled handover, the United States and Britain submitted a draft UN resolution which promises to hand over full sovereignty to an interim Iraqi government on June 30. The UN special envoy to Iraq, Lakhdar Brahimi, will present the names this week of members of the proposed interim Iraqi government; made up of a president, two vice presidents, a prime minister and 26 ministers, Bush said. No date has been set for a vote on the US-British resolution at the United Nations and diplomats said that many questions remained over the proposed draft. The resolution sets no date for US and British forces to leave Iraq and gives them wide-ranging powers to maintain order and fight "terrorism".

About Serge Vincent de Bolotoff
On 5 October 1908, the British newspaper Daily Mail offered a reward of 1 000 pounds sterling to the first aviator to fly cross the English Channel. Jean-Pierre Blanchard and John Jeffries had flown from Dover to Calais in a gas-filled balloon 1785, but no one had yet accomplished this feat in an airplane.
In November 1908, aviator Serge de Bolotoff was the first to announce his intention to earn the reward. His proposal was "to use an airplane triplane built by the Voisin brothers, equipped with an engine of Panhard et Levassor 110 HP." The whole apparatus weighed more than a ton, too much for his engine to get off the ground. He planned to cross from the French port of Saint-Lo. Then, faced with various difficulties, Serge de Bolotoff gave up the project.
Charles Lambert (1865-1944), a Russian Count of French origin, flying a Wright airplane made the first attempt. Lambert had previously been interested in hydrofoils, boats that ride above water. He took of at Cap Blanc Nez on July 19, 1909. Although he crashed in the Channel, Lambert survived the crash.
Louis Blériot (1872-1936) was the first to succeed at crossing the Channel in an airplane. Blériot was an engineer, like de Bolotoff. Blériot had made his fortune in the sale of automobile headlamps. After having flown planes designed by the Voisin brothers (whose triplane Serge de Bolotoff had intended to fly), Louis Blériot piloted his "Bleriot XI" on January 23, 1909 between Barracks, France, and the southern coast of England in 32 minutes. De Bolotov's future father-in-law, H. Gordon Selfridge, was there to greet Blériot. Selfridge then displayed Bleriot's tiny aircraft at the store for four days. This was only two months after the opening of Selfridge's new store. The exhibition drew hordes of visitors, and set a benchmark for in-store entertainment.

Born in Bulgaria, but often described as Russian, Serge de Bolotoff became Prince Wiasemsky some time after his marriage to Rosalie Selfridge, eldest daughter of Gordon Selfridge and Rose Selfridge (Buckingham). At the time of the wedding on August 7, 1918, Serge de Bolotoff had been "trained as an aviation engineer," and was serving as air attaché with the Russian military mission in London. They were married in the chapel at the Russian Embassy in London.

The "De Bolotoff SDEB 14" was a British two-seat utility biplane designed by Prince Serge de Bolotoff and built at his de Bolotoff Aeroplane Works at Seveonoaks, Kent.[1] It was registered G-EAKC on 14 August 1919.[2] The SDEB 14 had a 200 hp (149 kW) Curtiss 8 cylinder piston engine.[1]

The above biplane is also described in British Built Aircraft: South East England by Ron Smith, published by Tempus, 2004, page 135:
"Prince Serge de Bolotoff built an attractive biplane on the grounds of Combe Bank House at Sundridge. The aircraft was illustrated in the 1919 edition of Jane's All the World's Aircraft, but little else is known of it. The machine was registered G-EAKC, although photographs show it as 'SDEB14'. De Bolotoff & Co. had a shed at Brooklands in May 1913, in which they were constructing a large tandem triplane. This was not successful. Prince de Bolotoff's address in 1913 was Reigate Priory, Reigate.

The Russian Revolution occurred in 1917, during World War I.
Since Serge de Bolotoff married Rosalie Selfridge at the Russian Embassy in London in August of 1918, he must have been in good stead with the Russian government at that time. The revolution dispossessed members of Russia's aristocracy, many of whom fled to other countries. Apparently Serge de Bolotoff was among these, since he later became known as Prince Wiasemsky. Surely there is much more to his, and his family's story concerning this period.
Additionally, this profile hints that there is more to learn regarding Serge de Bolotoff's activities in the early years of aviation.
Michael R. Delahunt (2011)
<><><> - <><><> - <><><> - <><><> - <><><> - <><><>
Charles Cyril Turner wrote an account of the early days of "aeroplanes," which was published in 1927. this includes a story about a psychic, or spirit medium, named W.T. Stead:
"Naturally all sorts of people who lacked scientific or engineering knowledge were attracted to aviation, and sometimes they were betrayed into indiscretions. Thus the late W. T. Stead came on the scenes. He was a spiritualist, and he said he communicated with the spirits of the departed. he claimed he had had a conversation with Lefebvre, an aviator who had recently been killed....
Lefebvre asked Stead to warn Bolotoff, another aviator, at Chalons, that his motor would not work properly.
Mr. Stead went to Chalons on the following Monday and warned M. Bolotoff of Lefebvre's advice. The motor was treated with extreme care, and seemed in the most perfect order until M. Bolotoff took his seat in his aeroplane. Then the motor would not work, the starting handle broke, and the experiments had to be abandoned. (But such experiences with motors were common in those days, and need no spiritualistic explanation).
Although lacking knowledge of aviation and of the technique and science of flight, Stead made a great to-do about Prince Bolotoff's aeroplane and announced, 'the aeroplane is likely to make the name Bolotoff famous throughout the world. This machine, which is entered for the cross-Channel competition [1908-09], differs from all other aeroplanes in having three planes [a tri-plane] instead of two, and in that it is driven by a motor engine of 100 nominal h.p. The difficulty with most of the aeroplanes is that the light motors used can never be relied upon for a long continuous run. The engine which is mounted upon the Bolotoff aeroplane is a 100 h.p. Panhard, which, before it was dedicated to aerial service, ran without a hitch or a stoppage, other than those necessitated for taking in fresh supplies of petrol, for two 800-mile runs along the public road. It is also identical with the motor used on the boat which won all the prizes last year in Monaco.
"'One of the many disadvantages of the Wright aeroplane is that it cannot start from anywhere or descend anywhere. The Bolotoff aeroplane can start from any smooth, open space from which it can get a hundred yards run, and in the same way it can descend where it pleases.'"
"I will leave W. T. Stead to the Editor of the Automotor' journal, who wrote a letter to the press, in the course of which he said:
"'It is, we feel, only due to the future prospects of aerodynautics as a great coming industry that a strong protest should be raised against Mr. W. T. Stead's amazing — and in many respects inaccurate — article headed 'Wright Brothers' Rival.'
"'Statements such as those contained therein concerning an invention are, we contend, not only quite unjustifiable from the pen of any writer, but are liable to do an incalculable amount of harm owing to their misleading character. Considering that no scientist, however high his standing in the world, nor any living student of aeronautics could foretell today with certainty whether Serge Bolotoff's invention will prove a success or be a failure, we are amazed that Mr. Stead should speak of it in the definite terms he uses. It is clear form the article itself that the statements on which that writer commits himself are based on nothing more substantial than the claims of this twenty-one-year-old inventor, who, it is admitted, "never had any technical engineering education," and on the behaviour of a model.'"

SERGE VINCENT BOLOTOFF, an 18-year-old son of Princess Wiazemsky, of Russia, thinks he has solved the problem which has so long been agitating the minds of many prominent automobile engineers. He has designed, made and put into daily use a change-speed lever, which, he claims, does away entirely with the customary clutch pedal and eliminates from the mind of the driver all anxiety on the score of the movements of the speed change lever in conjunction with the clutch, when traffic is being negotiated or hilly country traversed.
[here is a graphic, posted to Geni: a diagram of the] COMBINED CLUTCH AND GEAR LEVER, INVENTED BY SERGE VINCENT BOLOTOFF, A YOUNG RUSSIAN
The operation of changing gear is, as every driver will acknowledge, rather annoying. To pass, for instance, from second to third (or high) the following maneuvers are necessary:
1— Throttle down the gas.
2— Unclutch with the foot.
3— Push the speed lever from second to third (or high gear) position.
4— Let the clutch pedal spring back (movement of the foot).
5— Open the throttle.
There should be a precision in these operations which is not always easy to realize, and which, in all cases, can be acquired only by constant practice where sliding gears are used.
As will be seen from the illustration, the Bolotoff lever consists of one principal lever surmounted by a second one, the two levers forming one whole piece, so long as the inclination in either direction does not extend beyond 13 degrees. This lever is so coupled up that when a change of speed becomes necessary, a movement of the lever first of all liberates the clutch and then slides the teeth of the gears into mesh, only allowing the clutch to get home again when the teeth are fully engaged.
An ordinary speed lever A is surmounted by a handle B, fitted with a double lever, and which is, in its extension, in an average position. At the neutral-point the lever is vertical, and, for all movements of an amplitude inferior to 13 degrees from the vertical, the two levers A and B form a rigid ensemble. As soon as the ensemble has moved through 13 degrees A comes to a stop and B can then turn on pivot C to a supplementary angle of 13 degrees. It is easy to understand immediately the aim of those two movements, distinct and successive — the former acts on the sliding gear in the speed box, the latter acts on the clutch. It is interesting to see how Mr. de Bolotoff manages to obtain that very desirable result.
The handle B is rigid with two small levers b, b, and on all that ensemble can pivot a jointed shaft C, which is binding upon the main lever A ; then, in the second part of the maneuver above mentioned (when the handle turns on pivot at C) the two handles of small levers b, b, describe two arcs in opposite directions. Hence, one of the rods D comes down and the other goes up of a length equal to the chord of the above said arc. Those rods D are really two double cap links inserted in the main lever A and articulated at their lower part with a grooved scale fitted with a double fork E, sliding on a three-groove tube F and able to displace themselves longitudinally on said tube, together with the ensemble of the main lever. This main lever itself is fixed on a tube G, which slides also on the interior tube F, referred to above.
Lastly, the ensemble of the two tubes is supported by a bracket H fixed on the chassis of the car. That bracket supports a sector made of bronze E, on which are cut the notches corresponding to the different couplings of the gear box. The notches cut in the sector according to its superior generating allows a perfect guiding of the ensemble in the lateral displacement, because, in the example above described, we deal with a three-speed sliding-gear system; but it goes without saying that the realization will not be less easy in the case of any other sliding-gear. To conclude, the rotation of the three-groove shaft F causes also the rotation of the rod G, which rod, formed by another double-elbowed rod K, acts directly on the clutch.

In Center #1, pre-change rates from 2000-2002 for ROP (III and IV) and laser treatments were 11.1% and 4% respectively, decreasing to 6% and 2.5% in 2003-2004 after the change in clinical practice and switch to Masimo SET -- representing a 40% relative risk reduction in severe ROP. For the same time periods in Center #2, ROP (III and IV) and laser treatment rates remained unchanged at 13% and 5% respectively after changing clinical practice and maintaining use of Nellcor N395 technology, leading researchers to state that the results were "significantly more favorable" for the center that switched to Masimo technology.
"In a large group of examined inborn infants <1,250 grams treated by the same neonatologists, MDs and NNPs using the same clinical guideline to decrease hyperoxemia and wide changes in oxygenation, the relative risk rate of severe ROP and laser therapy are associated with the SpO2 technology utilized," the researchers concluded. "This further supports the significance of adequate SpO2 monitors in managing critically ill infants."
Joe E. Kiani, Chairman and CEO of Masimo stated; "In 2002, a
group of researchers at Cedars Sinai led by Dr. Sola published a
ground-breaking study, which showed that a new oxygen titration
protocol, including the monitoring of the neonates' arterial blood
oxygen saturation with Masimo SET pulse oximetry, could
dramatically reduce ROP. But some observers questioned how critical

Hispanic's Arrest Reignites Debate Over Arizona Immigration Law
The Arizona ACLU said Tuesday that police in that state have used racial profiling to target Hispanics under that state's strict immigration laws, filing a legal complaint against the city of South Tucson and opening up another legal battle against the state's "show your papers" law.
"It is being blocked, and the political commentators will tell you it would be a miracle — that's what they say — a miracle for immigration reform to pass. Sometimes you can organize and struggle and march as hard as you can, and sometimes all you can do is pray for a miracle," said the Rev. Jim Wallis, president of Sojourners, an evangelical group pushing for legalization.
