NEW YORK, Friday—I went down this noon with John Golden, chairman of the New York City United Nations Day, and his co-chairman, Mrs. Vincent Impellitteri, and saw the first run-off of cancellations for the United Nations Day stamp. Albert Goldman, New York City postmaster, was most cooperative in having these stamps printed and I think it is a wonderful idea of Mr. Golden.
After this brief ceremony Mr. Goldman took me to see the different posters that members of his staff had made to celebrate the current week, which is "Write a Letter Week." We viewed pictures of George Washington, Abraham Lincoln and my husband, each featuring a letter that these three gentlemen had written. My husband's letter was the one he addressed to the man who will be President of the United States in 1956. In it he asked the future President to give an appointment to the U.S. Naval Academy to Colin Kelly's son. I was glad to see this on exhibition as I think we need to be reminded now and then of our heroes.
I had an amusing time in a taxicab yesterday afternoon. I had no sooner got in and given my address than the driver turned around and, in an inquiring tone, said: "You're Mrs. Roosevelt?" I admitted that was my name and he then said: "Now I can really tell my mother that you don't go round with a bodyguard."
After a few minutes' reflection he turned to me again and said: "Will you sign a card for me?" I agreed and he handed me the card with a pencil. When I returned it he said: "Now I'll have something to prove to her that I am right."
Then in explanation he remarked: "Even after all the years my mother has lived in this country she just can't believe that anyone who is prominent doesn't go about with an army."
I told him I had encountered that same impression in certain other people and that I thought it was one of the things we should be thankful for in our democracy. Under certain other types of government one cannot feel quite as free, or else one does not have as much confidence in one's fellow citizens.
Occasionally one is reminded of the fact that there are in our midst certain gentlemen who do not remember that the office of the Presidency of the United States should command our respect even when we are irritated by something that the President himself may have said.
At the United Mine Workers in Cincinnati two years ago John L. Lewis said quite a number of things about the President which, perhaps, respect for the office should have deterred him from saying. Now a letter has been published in which the President uses rather picturesque language, announcing that he does not intend offering Mr. Lewis any position.
I really think it would be quite humorous if Mr. Lewis and Mr. Stalin were thrown together in Moscow. But I should think that instead of being irritated at the President's decision not to give Mr. Lewis that particular ambassadorship, Mr. Lewis would be grateful. Perhaps, however, Mr. Lewis thinks he could make an impression on Mr. Stalin.
There seems to be at the present a desire on the part of a number of people to try their hands at influencing the Premier of the Soviet Union. Harold Stassen has asked for this privilege and evidently thinks his request is startling and newsworthy. But his letter is not very different from one which a totally unknown gentleman sent me not long ago, telling me it was a copy of one he had just sent to Mr. Stalin. I have not heard that Mr. Stalin is talking seriously to any of our private citizens.

England XI batsmen will not see too much spin either as they face Mumbai 'A'
England vice-captain Stuart Broad and left-arm spinner Monty Panesar are almost certain to be part of the XI that will take the field against Mumbai 'A' in the second tour game that will begin at the D.Y. Patil Stadium on Saturday.
The England players who did not figure in the opening tour match against India 'A' were Jonny Bairstow, Graham Onions, Joe Root and Eoin Morgan.
The home team is a mix of first class and junior team players — it will also field Cheteshwar Pujara and Shikhar Dhawan — and probably only one slow bowler in leg-spinner Sagar Gorivale, who has been a regular with the Mumbai under-19 and under-22 teams.
The England team travelled to Nerul, Navi Mumbai, on Friday morning and the coaching management in Andy Flower and Graham Gooch arranged for a practice session in the afternoon for Panesar and Yorkshire wicketkeeper-batsman Bairstow who has played Tests against the West Indies and South Africa.
England is still finding ways to prepare itself adequately and satisfactorily against spin bowling.
There are reports that spinners from the County sides Scott Borthwick, Azeem Rafiq, James Tredwell and Simon Kerrigan enhanced the spin department while the team trained in Dubai for three days.
But, for a change, the visitors' seamers may find more encouragement from the D.Y. Patil Stadium wicket, with former India seamer Abey Kuruvilla directing the ground staff at the venue to lay a wicket that will assist sideways movement and also bounce.
"It will be a sporting wicket," said Vijay Patil, President of the D.Y. Patil Sports Academy and vice-president of the Mumbai Cricket Association.
While England will continue the process to identify the best XI it can field for the first Test, either perhaps giving another chance to Nick Compton or opting for Joe Root at the top of the order, the local side is excited about the opportunity given to it against an international side.
"We think this game is a good opportunity for everybody, especially for those who are in the running for a Ranji place. It is a big game for us. Most of the players have come from under- 25 match played against Baroda. We are looking forward to playing as a team," said Mumbai 'A' captain Suryakumar Yadav.
The Mumbai middle order batsman is not disappointed at not being picked for the match against Railways. "I am positive and I am not at all disappointed, but it is at the back of my mind that I am missing a first class game for Mumbai. But still losing a place to the big guns (like Sachin Tendulkar) is not a big worry for me It would be a good experience facing international players. It's a big opportunity to learn skills and tactics from them and get some positives out of that."
Yadav, who had a forgettable tour of New Zealand with the India 'A' team, said he had been forced to change his batting approach and style. "I played some poor strokes and got out last season when the team needed me in the middle and hence I have changed my game a bit. Staying at the wicket and getting big runs for my side will be the strategy this year. I can play my shots any time," said Yadav.
The teams (from): England: Alastair Cook (Capt.), Stuart Broad, James Anderson, Ian Bell, Jonathan Trott, Jonny Bairstow, Tim Bresnan, Nick Compton, Steven Finn, Graham Onions, Monty Panesar, Samit Patel, Kevin Pietersen, Matt Prior, Joe Root, Graeme Swann and Eoin Morgan
Mumbai 'A': Suryakumar Yadav (Capt.), Cheteshwar Pujara, Shikhar Dhawan, Hiken Shah, Bhavin Thakkar, Sufiyan Shaikh, Nikhil Patil (jr.), Shoaib Shaikh, Kshemal Waingankar, Balwinder Singh, Sagar Gorivale, Javed Khan, Neelkant Parab, Bravish Shetty, Shardul Thakur.

'Operando' methods for understanding catalysis in hydrogen storage
As researchers at Pacifi c Northwest National Laboratory investigated the hydrogen storage capabilities of amine borane compounds, they knew that a rhodium catalyst readily releases hydrogen from the compound at room temperature. But they weren't sure how it worked. Aside from the scientific quest for knowledge, understanding the mechanism at work with rhodium may help with the development of a more cost-effective catalyst to enable hydrogen storage.
PNNL scientists used a type of x-ray spectroscopy available at the Advanced Photon Source synchrotron at Argonne National Laboratory to look at the reaction as it was occurring. They found the active site of the catalyst centered around a cluster of about four rhodium atoms. They also found that the catalyst structure during the reaction was different than the structure before and after the reaction, thus highlighting the importance of measuring the catalyst structure during the reaction conditions.
By combining these results with subsequent in situ nuclear magnetic resonance and infrared spectroscopy, researchers were able to "see" what happens to the boron compound as the hydrogen is released. The results show the mechanism of how the amine borane compound binds to the active catalyst and then how the hydrogen molecule is released as a gas.
The research demonstrates the importance of "operando" methods - or observation of the fundamental molecular level measurements of the catalyst, the reactants and the products - under practical conditions. The PNNL group is using this approach to investigate other chemical reactions where little is known about the key catalytic processes.

Sinhalese brought from South to settle in state lands in Vaakarai[TamilNet, Saturday, 12 June 2010, 04:45 GMT]State and abandoned lands in Vaaharai division in Batticaloa district in Eastern Province are being distributed to persons who have been brought down from the south. This is being done without the knowledge of the Batticaloa District Government Agent and Vaakarai Divisional Secretary. They are being kept in dark and some military officials and Buddhist monks are behind the state aided colonization, civilian sources alleged. About fifty-five allotments in Munthiryaththoaddam, a Tamil village in Vaakarai division have been allocated to fishermen from South. This had been done without informing the Batticaloa Government Agent and Vaakarai Divisional Secretary by parties with vested interest, sources added. |

So I'm already planning my next gun purchase. I've narrowed it down to these two. The HS is an older "The Victor" model 5.5" barrel with barrel weight. It's a Hamden gun in about 95 to 98 percent. No box or papers. Price is $750. I've always wanted a HS Victor, but always get really close to buying and then can't seem to pony up that kind of money for a .22. Just hard to wrap my head around. I have a Ruger MK II Target and my old man has a S&W Model 41, so I'd like to add a HS Victor just to round out the collection. Second choice is a Sig 1911 Traditional Match Elite. It has the traditional slide as opposed to Sig's proprietary slide design on their other models. It has fully adjustable target sights. It's all stainless with the frame coated in their Nitron finish for a reverse two-tone look. Price is $850. So what would you do in this scenario?

I see your point. Here are some photos of the High Standard, just so you can get an idea. The little rectangle in the photo is the barrel weight. The screws are taped up inside the barrel weight to keep them from getting lost.
And here are a few more...
C'mon now fellas. I really need some advice! I was able to talk the seller down to $650 shipped. It's getting even more tempting.
Then i would jump on it in a heart beat
Well, I would NOT buy the Sig
Texan By Birth & Choice USMC/VIET NAM VET
I have 2 HS Supermatic Trophys, both Hamden guns. I believe they would use the same quality barrels as the Victors. Both of mine are crazy accurate. I put a scope on one and it just wallowed one little hole for a group. It's a fair price, get the Victor.
I went ahead and bought The Victor. Final price $600!

This Twister variant is... inspired. :-)
Irkutsk is for losers, its all about the Evenki Nat'l Okrug.
I gotta say, this is one of my favorites. I say that about a lot of them, but the whole Twister thing is so perfect!
I can think of a much better Twister variant given that setup. Only when played with naked females, though.
The imagery in panels 1 and 4 is priceless.
First panel FTW.
I goddamn hate Irkutsk.
These house rules make Twister a lot more 'interesting'. I fear for when someone rolls Dagger on Red. Especially if they do it in Irkutsk.
We all thought of that variant, I'd think.
Okay, so, panel #4 is going to happen at my place during the next "party" ("party" in this instance being code for all my mates inviting themselves round to get drunk and play Settlers of Catan. You would not believe how many "wood for sheep" jokes you hear when that happens)

Playing as non-conference members for the first time in a total of 87 meetings, the scoring output by the Utes (2-1) was the most in the series since the team recorded a 57-28 triumph over the Cougars (1-2) in 1988. Five of the previous six encounters were decided by a touchdown or less, with two of those going to overtime. John White stepped up for the Utah offense and scored three touchdowns on the ground, while Jordan Wynn accounted for a pair of passing scores as well for the Utes as they became the first in-state opponent to defeat BYU since 2005. Wynn converted 16-of-30 passes for 239 yards and was intercepted once. The Cougars were paced by Jake Heaps who converted 27-of-50 passes for 305 yards and a score, but he also tossed an interception before giving way to Riley Nelson late in the fourth quarter. The first score of the game was tallied by the Utah defense after a bad snap by the Cougars deep in their own territory ended up in the end zone and Derrick Shelby fell on it to record the opening touchdown. BYU responded with a 46-yard field goal by Justin Sorensen in the final seconds of the first frame, adding a 32-yard TD pass between Heaps and Ross Apo at the 6:23 mark of the second period. With under a minute remaining in the first half, Wynn put the Utes back on top with a 30-yard TD pass to Jake Murphy, making the score 14-10 at the break. The second half belonged to Utah exclusively, beginning with a 59-yard TD pass from Wynn to Dres Anderson on the opening drive of the third quarter. A 39- yard field goal by Coleman Petersen followed soon after, lifting the score to 24-10. With the BYU defense looking defeated, White went to work for the Utes, scoring on a one-yard run with 8:32 to play in the third. White added TD runs of 62 and 35 yards in the fourth quarter as well, but before those two scores Petersen booted through a 20-yard field goal. To add insult to injury, Utah's V.J. Fehoko scooped up a fumble and raced 57 yards for yet another touchdown for the Utes with just under four minutes to play in regulation to give the visitors a convincing 44-point margin of victory. These two teams were both members of the Mountain West Conference up until this season, with BYU changing status to Independent in football beginning in 2011 and the Utes making the jump to the Pac-12 Conference. This is the earliest these two programs have ever faced off against each other in the series, the only other time the squads have gotten together in the month of September being in 1958. 09/18 02:12:16 ET |

The Japanese phrase "mono no aware," is a bittersweet reference to the transience of life. It came to mind as I was watching "Lost in Translation," which is sweet and sad at the same time it is sardonic and funny. Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson play two lost souls rattling around a Tokyo hotel in the middle of the night, who fall into conversation about their marriages, their happiness and the meaning of it all.
These conversations can really only be held with strangers. We all need to talk about metaphysics, but those who know us well want details and specifics; strangers allow us to operate more vaguely on a cosmic scale. When the talk occurs between two people who could plausibly have sex together, it gathers a special charge: you can only say "I feel like I've known you for years" to someone you have not known for years. Funny, how your spouse doesn't understand the bittersweet transience of life as well as a stranger encountered in a hotel bar. Especially if drinking is involved.
Murray plays Bob Harris, an American movie star in Japan to make commercials for whiskey. "Do I need to worry about you, Bob?" his wife asks over the phone. "Only if you want to," he says. She sends him urgent faxes about fabric samples. Johansson plays Charlotte, whose husband John is a photographer on assignment in Tokyo. She visits a shrine and then calls a friend in America to say, "I didn't feel anything." Then she blurts out: "I don't know who I married." She's in her early 20s, Bob's in his 50s. This is the classic set-up for a May-November romance, since in the mathematics of celebrity intergenerational dating you can take five years off the man's age for every million dollars of income. But "Lost in Translation" is too smart and thoughtful to be the kind of movie where they go to bed and we're supposed to accept that as the answer. Sofia Coppola, who wrote and directed, doesn't let them off the hook that easily. They share something as personal as their feelings rather than something as generic as their genitals.
These are two wonderful performances. Bill Murray has never been better. He doesn't play "Bill Murray" or any other conventional idea of a movie star, but invents Bob Harris from the inside out, as a man both happy and sad with his life -- stuck, but resigned to being stuck. Marriage is not easy for him, and his wife's voice over the phone is on autopilot. But he loves his children. They are miracles, he confesses to Charlotte. Not his children specifically, but -- children.
He is very tired, he is doing the commercials for money and hates himself for it, he has a sense of humor and can be funny, but it's a bother. She has been married only a couple of years, but it's clear that her husband thinks she's in the way. Filled with his own importance, flattered that a starlet knows his name, he leaves her behind in the hotel room because -- how does it go? -- he'll be working, and she won't have a good time if she comes along with him.
Ingmar Bergman's "Scenes from a Marriage" was about a couple who met years after their divorce and found themselves "in the middle of the night in a dark house somewhere in the world." That's how Bob and Charlotte seem to me. Most of the time nobody knows where they are, or cares, and their togetherness is all that keeps them both from being lost and alone. They go to karaoke bars and drug parties, pachinko parlors and, again and again, the hotel bar. They wander Tokyo, an alien metropolis to which they lack the key. They don't talk in the long literate sentences of the characters in "Before Sunrise," but in the weary understatements of those who don't have the answers.
Now from all I've said you wouldn't guess the movie is also a comedy, but it is. Basically it's a comedy of manners -- Japan's, and ours. Bob Harris goes everywhere surrounded by a cloud of white-gloved women who bow and thank him for -- allowing himself to be thanked, I guess. Then there's the director of the whiskey commercial, whose movements for some reason reminded me of Cab Calloway performing "Minnie the Moocher." And the hooker sent up to Bob's room, whose approach is melodramatic and archaic; she has obviously not studied the admirable Japanese achievements in porno. And the B-movie starlet (Anna Faris), intoxicated with her own wonderfulness.
In these scenes there are opportunities for Murray to turn up the heat under his comic persona. He doesn't. He always stays in character. He is always Bob Harris, who could be funny, who could be the life of the party, who could do impressions in the karaoke bar and play games with the director of the TV commercial, but doesn't -- because being funny is what he does for a living, and right now he is too tired and sad to do it for free. Except ... a little. That's where you see the fine-tuning of Murray's performance. In a subdued, fond way, he gives us wry faint comic gestures, as if to show what he could do, if he wanted to.
Well, I loved this movie. I loved the way Coppola and her actors negotiated the hazards of romance and comedy, taking what little they needed and depending for the rest on the truth of the characters. I loved the way Bob and Charlotte didn't solve their problems, but felt a little better anyway. I loved the moment near the end when Bob runs after Charlotte and says something in her ear, and we're not allowed to hear it.
We shouldn't be allowed to hear it. It's between them, and by this point in the movie, they've become real enough to deserve their privacy. Maybe he gave her his phone number. Or said he loved her. Or said she was a good person. Or thanked her. Or whispered, "Had we but world enough, and time..." and left her to look up the rest of it.

COLUMBIA — The Columbia Center for Urban Agriculture will hold two workshops discussing the city's new ordinance allowing hens to be raised in urban areas. The workshops will address what the new law entails, how to raise hens properly and what the advantages to raising hens are.
The first of the two workshops will be from 7 to 8 p.m. Feb. 17, and the second will be from 2 to 3 p.m. Feb. 20. Both workshops will be held at the Columbia Center for Urban Agriculture, 214 St. Joseph St.
Columbia City Council amended code on Feb. 1 to allow up to six hens per tract of land. Owners are required to keep chickens in an enclosure and may not use the hens for commercial reasons.
The center asks attendees to donate $5 to $20 for the class. All proceeds will go to the center, which works to improve Columbians' access to healthy food by supporting local producers and advocating for policies that encourage health and sustainability.
To register or learn more about the workshops, e-mail Caroline Hargrove at firstname.lastname@example.com, or the Columbia Center for Urban Agriculture at firstname.lastname@example.com.

At its one-year anniversary, Obamacare continues to frustrate and confuse the medical community and American public at large. In fact, recent surveys show doctors are less optimistic about the future of medicine, with some considering exiting the medical profession entirely. Heritage's medical panel will detail their firsthand experiences with Obamacare and their concerns that this new law's onerous regulations and mandates could further exacerbate the country's physician shortage.
Representative Burgess will discuss current Congressional efforts to repeal the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Dr. Boone will explain the harmful impact her private practice has seen from this health care law. And, Gurjeet Guram will talk about new Obamacare regulations he faces as a medical student.
Copies of Representative Burgess' new book, Doctor in the House, will be available for purchase and to be signed by the author.

Is Your Food Fulfilling ALL Your Needs?
So I recently received a phone call from my good friend Tiffany that started out with, �I just read an interview with Jada Pinkett Smith and it totally made me think of you.� Well you can imagine the kind of flattering, ego inflating statement I was anticipating. I mean any comparison to a fit, attractive Hollywood star has to be good, right? Nope. She continued, �I was reading about how Jada grew up in a family of bad cooks and that�s what made me think of you.� Ego successfully deflated. Not to mention I was a little pissed. Really? Is my cooking that bad she felt the need to share? She had more to add though, and it wasn�t that I was terrible cook (well at least that I know of, and in this case, ignorance is bliss, right?). Apparently growing up in a family of bad cooks created in this fit, famous Hollywood actress the mindset that food is first and foremost, nourishment, or fuel for the body. This is a belief I also hold, and it only continues to strengthen the more I continue to educate myself. Tiffany said I reminded her of Jada Pinkett Smith because I will eat things strictly for their health content. I quite often choose foods not based on their �yumminess� factor, but on how the food will nourish my body to look, feel and perform the way I want it to. Does that mean my tastes buds are less sensitive to others? No. I love and crave the tastes of sugary, salty and fatty foods just like everyone else. Our taste buds were designed that way so we would eat what we need, before the mass production of processed foods oversaturated with sugars, salts and trans-fats. My taste buds are no exception. The thing is, healthy eating is kind of like dating, or finding a life partner. What�s on the outside fades, and what�s on the inside is what will truly shape your relationship, or in the case of food, your body and your health. Is the thirty seconds of flavor worth the potential additional pounds or ill-health? I choose to vote no with my palate. Our bodies were designed to be vibrant, strong, powerful and to make us feel good, but they must have the right fuel in order for this to happen. Beauty as they say, is only skin deep and flavor, is only �taste bud� deep. If you choose ... Continue

The low-dose mammogram that you're supposed to have once a year after you turn 40 is called a screening mammogram because it tests for any signs of cancer, which may or may not be present—plus it's recommended even if you don't detect any symptoms. In a way, a mammogram is like a Pap smear for your breasts. It's very important that you have a regular mammogram after you turn 40, even if you don't detect any changes or abnormalities in your breasts. If you have a family history, it's possible that you will be sent for a low-dose mammogram at an earlier age than 40. A screening mammogram is an X-ray of the breast that is used to detect breast changes in women with no other signs of breast cancer. The X-ray takes a picture of the tissue within your breasts. The mammogram consists of two X-rays of each breast. A mammogram can often detect lumps before they can be felt. Mammograms use very small doses of radiation, so there is no need to become overly concerned with radiation exposure. The benefits of detecting breast cancer early far outweigh the risk of such a small dosage of radiation. The mammogram is not completely fool-proof and a small percentage of breast cancers will go undetected by the mammogram. That is why the regular clinical and self-exams are very important as well. Sometimes your mammogram will detect an abnormality that is not cancerous, so be sure to explore your options and remember that a second opinion or other tests may be useful. Wear a two-piece outfit to your mammogram, because you'll need to remove the top half. You won't be able to wear deodorant because it interferes with the images. Some women carry deodorant with them for quick application after the exam is finished. During a mammogram, you will be asked to remove all clothing on your chest and all jewelry. Your breasts will be placed on a flat X-ray table and a firm but gentle pressure will be applied using a mammogram compression device. The compression may be uncomfortable but is rarely painful. The compression is used to spread the breast tissue and to provide high quality resolution and greater detection capabilities for the mammogram. Ask your provider when you can expect to hear about your results. A diagnostic mammogram is an X-ray of the breast that is used to diagnose already detected abnormalities such as a lump, pain, nipple discharge, etc.

Mass of law
It would take the average adult over 400 years to read all the law applicable in modern Britain (Times Newspaper)
11,000 criminal offences
Speaking in Parliament Sir Menzies Campbell said the Labour Government and Prime Minister Blair "suffer from a statutory addiction". In 10 years since 1997, Labour passed 365 Acts of Parliament and more than 32,000 statutory instruments. In that time over 3,000 new criminal offences have been legislated. Those were added to over 8,000 already in the law books.
Legislation forms the principle part of the English Law, it includes Acts of Parliament (referred to as statutes), and other law created with the authority of Parliament. .
The Queen in Parliament
Parliament is made up of The House of Common, The House of Lords, and The Queen, all three collectively known as "The Queen in Parliament". It is important to remember that legislation is usually created by all three and not just by the Government.
Parliament has two debating chambers the Commons and the Lords we describe it as bicameral.
On certain occasions, Parliament has held a referendum on issues of constitutional importance (for example the continued membership of the European Union), but these have been of an advisory character only and have not limited Parliament's ultimate discretion.
"Reality check" for new law
Eight women and four men with recent experience of inquests (unlike most politicians) were in the Palace of Westminster on 18 October 2006 to go through the Coroner Bill clause by clause. Another innovation was that it was written in plain English alongside the technical statutory language.
A draft Coroner Reform Bill was published on 12 June 2006, available here.
Society changes
As life and technology changes so the law must keep up with it, recent examples include football hooliganism abroad and the use of mobile phones whilst driving.
Extracts from Proposals for English and Scottish Law Commissions, 1965
"One of the hallmarks of an advanced society is that its laws should not only be just but also that they should be kept up-to-date, and be readily accessible to all who are affected by them...English Law should be capable of being recast in a form which is accessible, intelligible and in accordance with modern needs."
The functions of Parliament
Scrutinising the Executive
The Commons scrutinises Government policies and the way it carries out its duties. The famous philosopher John Stuart Mill said of the role of the Commons:
"Instead of the function of governing, for which it is radically unfit, the proper office of a representative assembly is to watch and control the government Dissertations and Discussions [1859].
To further control, the behaviour of the executive Parliament has also created a Ministerial Code of Conduct.
MPs and peers hold the government to account by direct questions, either written - with a written answer - or oral, on the floor of the House. Each week the Prime Minister answers questions at "Question Time", which often gets media coverage.
Parliamentary debates
Additionally, debates are an important way of probing the executive, there are several types of debate but most important ones concern proposed legislation.
Select committees
In addition, MPs hold Investigations: often conducted by select committees, of which there are 16, these committees are powerful bodies and often look at how money is spent. They comprise between 10 and 18 members and can call witnesses.
Parliament can make any law
The Gender Recognition Act 2004 allows transsexual people over 18 to have an acquired gender recognised and the legal right to live in their acquired gender.
Once their acquired gender is recognised, transsexual people have the right to marry in their acquired gender and be given birth certificates that recognise the acquired gender. They may also obtain benefits and State Pension just like anyone else of that gender.
The largest Bill to be considered by Parliament was the Company Law Reform Bill [HL] with nearly 1,000 sections it ran to hundreds of pages.

Silver Anomalies in Jerusalem Pottery Hint at Wealth in Second Temple Period
David Adan-Bayewitz, Associate Professor at Bar-Ilan in Ramat-Gan, Israel, and a guest at Berkeley Lab, and Frank Asaro and Robert D. Giauque of Berkeley Lab's Environmental Energy Technologies Division made their discovery of performing measurements on 1,200 pottery vessels from 38 sites in Roman Judea (present-day Israel). They used high-precision X-ray fluorescence (HPXRF) and instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA). The Berkeley Lab team developed a variation of INAA, the INAA coincidence technique, specifically for measuring silver concentrations in archaeological samples, as a more accurate means of checking the results of HPXRF and conventional INAA.
The research was funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation and the United States-Israel Binational Science Foundation.
The major finding is that samples of pottery from Jerusalem during this era showed anomalously higher concentrations of silver, as compared to samples from all other non-urban sites dated to the same period of time. Many of the samples from Jerusalem and other sampled sites were otherwise indistinguishable in date, shape and chemical composition. High silver abundances were also detected in pottery found at other urban sites. But many of the Jerusalem samples had higher silver values than any of the samples from the other cities.
"Because pottery samples containing higher amounts of silver were all recovered from sites in cities, and because the cities were distant from one another," says Asaro, "we concluded that the silver anomalies are associated with human activity." Natural causes do not explain the geographical distribution of samples with high silver content. The researchers also concluded that silver was washed into the pottery through the action of groundwater.
"One of the most important results of our silver work is that our findings suggest that the measurement of silver in pottery may be a useful tool for evaluating archaeological remains and patterns of urban contamination in antiquity," says Adan-Bayewitz.
Jerusalem in the Second Temple Period
The researchers note that Jerusalem and its temple was the religious and national focus of Jews throughout the Roman Empire during the Second Temple Period, leading to substantial growth and accumulation of wealth of the city's inhabitants. The Roman scholar Pliny the Elder, who lived during this time, called Jerusalem "by far the most famous city of the East." Jewish pilgrims to Jerusalem contributed to the city's wealth, and continual donations to the temple made it a target for plunder.
Josephus, the first-century Jewish historian, witnessed the siege and conquest of Jerusalem in 70 CE, and wrote "Of the vast wealth of the city, no small portion was still being discovered among the ruins. Much of this the Romans dug up, but the greater part they became possessed of through the information of the prisoners, gold and silver and other most precious articles, which the owners in view of the uncertain fortunes of war had stored underground."
The researchers suggest that the silver anomaly they measured in the Jerusalem pottery samples may be analytical evidence of the wealth of the city during the Second Temple Period.
The results of this research were published in the August 2006 issue of the journal Archaeometry. The article was titled "The discovery of anomalously high silver abundances in pottery excavated in Jerusalem."

The week in drinks |
The top ten stories published on just-drinks last week:
Heineken's focus on its global brands could damage sales as the world market fragments, an analyst has warned.
Beer drinkers trading down to less expensive brands and the dollar/euro exchange rate could affect Boston Beer Company's future earnings, according to an analyst.
Heineken's long-running bid to take full control of Asia Pacific Breweries (APB) is set to complete this month after Singapore's competition commission gave the green light to the move.
The head of Diageo's operations in Latin America and the Caribbean has warned that he would "hate to lose" the Jose Cuervo Tequila brand, as the end of the company's current agreement looms.
The head of Diageo's operations in Brazil has said that the company is set to expand its distribution coverage, to exploit the burgeoning middle class in the country.
Carlsberg has said it will be forced to introduce price rises of around 15% in France if the government goes ahead with planned duty increase.
Red Bull has said it is satisfied with an Indian court's decision to stop it using three distribution partners of Narang Danone Access (NDA), a former partner in the country.
Anheuser-Busch InBev has confirmed that it will launch a new stonger "dark" version of Budweiser, called Black Crown, early next year.
The boss of Monster has mounted a lengthy defence of the company, restating its products are "safe" and arguing claims made in a lawsuit against it are "totally baseless".
Diageo boss Paul Walsh has said he is "ambivalent" about the possible prospect of losing Whyte & Mackay to ensure the United Spirits deal goes through.

It was Saturday morning in Tim's small apartment as he and Lisa, the girl he had long thought to be his sister, both awoke to the sun shining through the window of his living room. Lisa and Tim had spent the night curled together nude on his couch, and cramped as it was, both felt wonderful. They had both lost their virginity to each other the night before and wondered if it would change the way they felt about each other. The two young lovers now knew that they were, in fact, not truly related. Their parents had met and married briefly when they were both toddlers, but each thought of the other's parent as their own. Tim's dad had died by his own hand and Lisa's mom had retreated into alcoholism, but the two of them had managed to remain sane.
Lisa stretched her petite, naked body and smiled lovingly at Tim as she came fully awake. "It is so nice to wake up beside you", she said. "I think I could get used to this". Tim rolled toward her, took her into his arms and said, "I don't know how I ever slept without you here". They shared a deep kiss and Tim started to get up, but Lisa stopped him. "Where do you think you're going?" she asked with a bit of sass. "I was going to take a shower and fix us some breakfast", he replied. "How about we work up an appetite first?", Lisa said with a sexy smile. "Don't mind if we do!", Tim told her.
Lisa reached between Tim's legs and found his cock already starting to stiffen for her. She had no previous experience, so she had no clue as to just how big Tim's cock truly was by comparison with other men. She just knew that it felt good in her mouth and her pussy. Truth be known, Tim was a good bit larger than average. At eight and a half inches in length and nearly two inches in girth, he could have been a porn star.
Tim, also with no means of comparison, had no idea that Lisa was truly a spectacular specimen of the female gender. Her light brown hair, her petite form, her large, firm breasts and her shapely ass and legs were more than most men could ever hope for in a woman. For her part, Lisa had never acted like a beauty queen. She was indeed a bit taken aback by her own appearance. Like many teen girls, she thought that she looked fat. Partly because of her short frame and her large breasts. Lisa just didn't think that she was 'put together' all that well.
What Tim DID know was that he was so hot for Lisa at this moment that he could practically taste her. Hmmm, he thought. Good idea. Tim slid down the couch and gently spread Lisa's legs so that he could have access to her smooth, shaved pussy. Lisa complied by opening herself wide for what she knew would be a sweet experience. Tim started licking gently on her soft folds as she became wet for him. He used his lips and tongue to arouse Lisa and she responded by arching her back off the couch each time Tim came into contact with her clit. At some point in time, Tim had heard of the tender spot between a girl's legs that would make her explode. He was a bit unsure of just where or what it was, but he did know that when he licked Lisa at the very top of her pussy, she responded. He decided to concentrate on this area as it seemed to give his young lover the most pleasure.
Lisa felt Tim's tongue slipping along her gash lovingly and she reached to hold his head as he started to focus his attention on the sensitive bud near the top of her pussy. She knew that she was not going to last long if he kept that up, but she didn't care. She loved the sensations that Tim's mouth was giving her, and she surrendered to it.
With a shudder and a load moan, Lisa came. She didn't squirt this time, but the feeling for her was no less intense. Tim smiled up at her as she came down and gave her another kiss directly onto her wet lips.
"My turn", Lisa exclaimed as she pulled Tim back up beside her on the couch and kissed him quickly tasting herself on his lips. She got up and, grabbing Tim by the hand, got him to sit up on the couch. She knelt between his legs in front of him and took his hard cock into her hand. She stroked him just a bit before lowering her lips to him. "I love doing this", she said as she took Tim's cock between her lips. Tim groaned and his own back arched a bit as Lisa took him gently into her mouth. She could only get about four inches into her young mouth, but neither cared. Lisa loved the fact that she was pleasing Tim and he loved the way her soft, wet mouth felt around his stiff cock.
The gentle friction of Lisa's lips around his cock and the sight of her with his hard cock in her mouth drove Tim nuts in only a few minutes. Lisa would swirl her tongue around the head as she withdrew from him, then suck hard as she took him in again. Just a few luxurious minutes passed before Tim felt the swelling in his balls that let him know he was close. He said, "Lisa, I'm gonna cum". Lisa responded as she had done the night before. She held his cock firmly in her mouth and swallowed each and every drop of Tim's spunk. Tim thought he had died and gone to Heaven as his seed shot down the young girl's throat. Lisa, quite pleased with herself, finally let Tim's softening cock slip from her mouth and pushed Tim back onto the couch. As soon as he was comfortable, she lay down beside him and kissed him with love.
"Are we both out of our minds or what?", Lisa said. Tim, finally getting his breath responded, "I'm not sure Lisa. I just know that what we have been doing feels so good and right. It isn't incest, but I'm not certain how we should proceed. Mom is gonna freak".
"I know", Lisa said, "but we have to live our own lives the way WE want". "I agree", Tim replied. With that, Tim took Lisa's hand and helped her off the couch. He led her down the short hallway past the bathroom and into his small bedroom. Lisa couldn't fight back her smile as she realized what was happening. She and Tim had made love before, but this time, it would be in bed where lovemaking belonged. There was just something about being in bed with Tim that excited Lisa beyond words. She was so happy....or was it something more?
At the foot of the bed, Tim took Lisa into his arms and said, "Lisa, I'm not sure of many things at this point in time, but I do know one thing". "What is that?", she said. "I'm falling in love with you", Tim said. It isn't because of the sex, even though it is beautiful. It's because of......shit, I don't know why. I just know that I'm loving you more every minute. I can't even think of spending a minute apart from you". Tears came to Lisa's eyes as she said, "I feel it, too". Lisa took Tim into her arms as she said, "I can think of nothing more wonderful than to spend my life with you".
With that, the two young people lay down together on the bed. Tim took Lisa into his arms and kissed her lovingly. She responded by pulling Tim on top of her and spreading her soft legs wide. Tim could feel the heat coming off of Lisa's body as she held him close. Lisa could feel the stiffness of Tim's cock as it brushed against her shaven pussy. The two of them kissed each other once again and Tim got to his knees between Lisa's beautiful legs. She smiled up at him and took his hard cock into her small hand. Lisa took a deep breath and guided Tim into her wet and yearning pussy. He slid into her gently and she sighed as he hit bottom.
Tim stroked the young girl gently, but, as the intensity increased, he moved more quickly. Lisa began to buck wildly against Tim as their passion grew. In a matter of minutes, both Tim and Lisa were on the verge of orgasm. Lisa wrapped her legs around Tims hips as she blew out another squirting orgasm. Tim responded by shooting a huge load into Lisa's wet pussy. The two of them continued to stroke each other until the climaxes subsided, and then lay, panting together. Tim on his knees and Lisa on her back, the young couple came down slowly from their mutual euphoria.
"Tim", Lisa said. "Yeah?", he replied. "I love you", Lisa confessed. "I love you ,too", Tim responded. Lisa took Tim into her arms once again and held him close. Tim held her as well. This was day one of their lives together and it wasn't even noon. If this were any indication of how their lives would be, it was going to be wonderful.

text: Mobile technology couldn't have even been imagined in the smoke and booze-filled "Mad Men" days, and in the office environment, ergonomics wasn't exactly a priority. The chairs were hard and typewriters stationary; maybe the afternoon cocktail numbed any wrist pain from the repetitive use of this "device." As the typewriter evolved into the desktop and wrists were completely wrecked, ergonomics became a buzz word and repetitive motion injuries (RMI) a problem. In fact, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 10 years ago carpal tunnel syndrome accounted for a median of 27 days out of work. Today RMI still account for a large percentage of workman's comp claims and mobile technology has brought a whole new world of constant motion. Proper Posture OSHA has an ergonomic evaluation checklist based on a desktop environment whose No. 1 suggestion is that the head and neck be to be upright, or in-line with the torso (not bent down/back). and facing forward. Going down the list, the trunk should be perpendicular to the floor, shoulders and upper arms in line with torso; forearms, wrists and hand straight and in line (forearm at 90 degrees); wrists and hands straight, thighs parallel to the floor; lower legs perpendicular; and feet flat. Ok. Now try that with a tablet. It's hardly feasible. The old guidelines don't much apply to the mobile worker of today, and the ergonomics of mobile technology, tablets in particular, is obviously in its infancy as the devices themselves are fairly new. Still, there is already research pointing to the long-term effects of hunching, scrunching, swiping, squinting and other repetitive habits that go along with tablet use. A combination of researchers from the Department of Environmental Health, Harvard School of Public Health, Microsoft Corporation, the Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Brigham and Woman's Hospital and Harvard Medical School, in their paper, "Touch-screen tablet user configurations and case-supported tilt affect head and neck flexion angles." concluded, "The use of media tablet computers is associated with high head and neck flexion postures, especially compared to those for typical desktop computing scenarios." Flexibility and Strain Dr. Jack Dennerlein, Harvard Medical School, one of the paper's authors, broke it down simply in an email to Mobile Enterprise: "The good news is that mobile technology allows us to take on many different postures. The issue is that many of these postures put physical strain on our bodies. For short periods of time these strains are not a huge problem; however, users often let the technology engage them for long periods of time so the interaction of strain and duration increases risk for pain and injury." Interestingly, part of the reason it's a challenge to study the way people position themselves while using tablets, is what also makes them so appealing to use — their "high portability." Since there are no design or usage guidelines like those cited earlier for desktop environments, the authors say, "Hence, there is an imminent need for evaluation of tablets while in their early stage of acceptance in order to build a set of recommended guidelines to optimize system performance and users' well-being." Display Array There are so many potential display positions and locations during the use of a tablet. The authors note that past studies of computer work have investigated how display/monitor positioning affects neck and shoulder posture and muscle activity. Higher display locations lead to decreased flexion that approach with more neutral, and recommended, postures; but facing down leads to increasingly flexed postures. "Biomechanical models of the neck musculature show that excessive head flexion leads to large muscle loads and strain. As a result, it is generally hypothesized that very low monitor positions may put users at risk of developing neck and shoulder discomfort or musculoskeletal disorders." With most mobile device users typically running around heads down in their phones, it's easy to assume a similar bad behavior when it comes to tablets. In order to try and represent typical user situations, researchers placed the participants in several positions. Task, Configurations, Type The tasks performed included Internet browsing and reading, game playing, email reading and responding, and movie watching. These were done while seated in a lounge type chair and with an ottoman-style footrest as an available option. "The goal was to have the subject sit in a comfortable position that would be similar to how they would use their own tablet at home or travelling," stated the report. They used an iPad 2 and a Motorola Xoom. Each was held landscape and had a propriety case (Smart Cover and Portfolio Case) that could be adjusted to prop or tilt the device. "Four user configurations, which consisted generally of a location (on the lap or table) and a support condition (handheld or in a case), were tested." The four configurations were tablet held on lap, tablet in case on lap, tablet on table in case and tablet in case propped at a higher angle. Results "Overall, the observed head and neck flexion angles are far from neutral angles," said the report. "Only for the 'Table-Movie' configuration, where the device was set in its steepest case angle setting and at the greatest horizontal and vertical position, did posture approach neutral. Notably, the differences in head and neck angles were likely driven by differences in case design, "which drastically altered the tablet tilt angle and corresponding viewing angle." Essentially, according to the report, "Results suggest that continuous use of tablets for longer durations should incorporate placement of the device on higher surfaces and with steeper case angle settings." Mobile Enterprise asked Dennerlein what he suggests. "Keep moving!" he replied. "Don't get stuck in any one position for too long. The other thing is to go 'hands free' — get a good stable case that allows for multiple viewing angles. This frees up your hands and arms to do other things and to keep them moving. Having multiple viewing angles allows for better head neck postures." Hands Free? Hands free with a case or viewing angle is one thing, but as the research points out, "steeper tilt angles may be detrimental for continuous input with the hands." In other words, how do you work on a tablet hands free? The report itself often acknowledges that this research is preliminary and the authors concluded that "further studies examining the effects of tablet and configuration on arm and wrist postures are needed to clarify and complete the postural evaluation." Indeed, when asked about the long-term effects, Dennerlein said, "We don't know, really. What we fear is that the reoccurring pain will lead to chronic pain and chronic musculoskeletal disorders. The other issue that we fear is that this technology will lead to more sedentary behavior, which has specific health risks including cardiovascular diseases and metabolic disorders." Additional Info Dennerlein is involved in additional research on this topic and he is not the only one. For example, the Ergonomics Program, affiliated with the Center for Occupational and Environmental Health, a University of California umbrella organization has ongoing projects as well. One is on tablet design. The project summary says: "Can the shape and texture of tablets be changed so that they are more secure and comfortable to hold in one hand? We are testing different tablet designs to evaluate their impact on productivity, comfort, and biomechanics. In the first study, 30 experienced users tested eight tablet prototypes while forearm electromyography, upper body posture, productivity and usability were evaluated. The study findings will be useful for designers of tablets and smart phones." Dr. David Rempel, Director, Ergonomics Program, University of California, Berkeley confirmed that, "The study is done and we have submitted a manuscript it to the journal Ergonomics." Stanford University has already come up with an "Ergonomics Guidance for Mobile Devices" When it comes to tablets, they too suggest to concentrate on neutral, non-flexion position. "Sync the tablet with a compaitble computer montior or television to improve neck pstures and increase screen size. Place the tablet keyboard in a position that allows the shoulders to relax and elbows to rest at the sides." The University of Arizona has also delved into the topic. Its report on "The Impact of Musculoskeletal System during Mutlitouch Tablet Interactions shows similar findings and notes that device positioning can introduce stress to the body. The study concluded: "Poor design strategies can cause biomechanical and physical stress to the musculoskeletal system and are associated with work-related musculoskeletal disorders." In addition, The Portland State University senior capstone team, working with Intel, created a robotic tablet charging device for individuals with limited mobility. The prototype, completed in 2012, is designed to transport a tablet to a charging station, so that users who are unable to reach a wall outlet due to ergonomics can have access. The device is able to travel more than 40 ft wirelessly, turn 360 degrees and operate on multiple surfaces. What are you reading this on right now? Are you sitting up straight?

We are enjoying our BlueStar range on a daily basis and always receive compliments on its appearance."
Steve Irey - Redding, CA
Owner of a BlueStar 48" Freestanding Gas Range with a Griddle (RNB486GSS)
Published: April 02, 2007
Back in November 2001, Marcus Samuelsson, then only 30 and chef/partner of Aquavit, was invited by The New York Times to comment about professional-style stoves for home kitchens.
Although he bought a GE for his upper Westside apartment, his favorite was the Garland (now BlueStar).
"You can put pots and pans on a slow simmer, and sear salmon and chicken breast on the griddle. You can set up a restaurant like kitchen with this range. You have flexibility. It's not flashy, and you can do basic things."
Six years later Keith Wolf joined BlueStar as vice president of marketing and contacted Marcus. According to Wolf, after meeting with Marcus, it was clear that he had a passion for the type of open-burner ranges that BlueStar produces. Among all the stove manufacturers that had approached him, BlueStar was the one that intrigued him, he told Super Chef.
Recently, Marcus has become BlueStar's spokesperson -- and he is finally getting that BlueStar stove.
"I am getting a Salamander, a BBQ for outside. It's a really good stove. It has 22,000 BTUs, that means I can cook the same way at home as the restaurant."
When Super Chef talked to Marcus, we asked what is so special about BlueStar?
"As a chef I am lucky enough to get approached by many companies. I am very careful what I pick and which I work with. They have to be companies that I can add something to. BlueStar makes the best stoves and cook tops. They approach me. It was not hard to talk me into it."
Marcus will be attending the industry's Kitchen/Bath Industry Show & Conference(KBIS) show in Las Vegas, May 8-10, cooking live on a BlueStar range at the company booth. He will be holding several BlueStar cooking demonstrations around the country, too. Blue Star will also add an "Ask Marcus" section of the company's bluestarcooking.com website, where he will answer consumer questions about cooking with a BlueStar range.
Marcus is interested in a long-term relationship with BlueStar.
He told Super Chef he wants to be part of their development of new products.
"I do a lot of research on companies. They are great people with a great product. I have my expertise to share with them."
