JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — A bill introduced Monday in the Alaska Senate would define "medically necessary" abortions as those needed to avoid serious risk to a woman's life or physical health.
Bill defines 'medically necessary' abortions
The measure, from Senate Majority Leader John Coghill, pertains to which abortions Alaska must pay for under the state Medicaid program. The bill calls for the Department of Health and Social Services to not pay for abortion services under the program unless those abortions are medically necessary or the pregnancy was the result of rape or incest and the rape or incest was "promptly reported" to law enforcement or public health authorities. Payment would not be allowed for "elective" abortions.
The Alaska Supreme Court has held that the state must fund medically necessary abortions if it funds other procedures deemed medically necessary for people in need. However, a legislative legal opinion requested by Sen. Hollis French last year said it's not clear what makes an abortion medically necessary, and that it's likely only further litigation would provide greater clarity.
The opinion stemmed from proposed state regulations of abortion payments. The department had proposed that for an abortion provider to be eligible for payment under Medicaid, the invoice must come with a certificate saying the procedure was medically necessary because the health of the woman was endangered by the pregnancy. Commissioner Bill Streur said his department did not intend to restrict the definition of a medically necessary abortion — a concern that had been raised. The regulations ultimately adopted did not further define the term.
Coghill, R-North Pole, has long been outspoken in his anti-abortion views. But he said his bill, SB49, also speaks to concerns about what is expected to be an increasingly tight state budget. He said the court left legislators to decide what is medically necessary.
"As a right to life guy, I'm interested in that because not only is it a state budget issue, but it really now becomes an issue of when do you actually force somebody from the public to pay for somebody else's abortion if it's truly elective," he said. "I think that question is a serious question, and it should be asked."

Serenetabbie, sure! I can start a thread somewhere with recipes. Since you just mentioned spinach, DH's favorite spinach curry is also super simple: I put a Tbsp of oil in a skillet, a few mustard seeds (they're a staple for us, but I imagine you could just use some garlic and onions for a twist, or replace with cumin seeds or poppy seeds or anything), and just add a package of thawed frozen spinach (usually $0.90 at QFC here) with all the liquid and let it cook, once it's done, I wait until it's not too hot and add two Tbsp of lime juice and mix well. The lime juice goes really well with spinach, and it's a very fast recipe.

from using the Butterflies brand and was now calling both
shops Hospice OpShop Mosgiel.
The new shop would stock furniture, books, CDs and
bric-a-brac while the old store would stock second-hand
clothing, jewellery and other fashion-related items.
Mrs Tunster said they had already received lots of great
donations from the public but had room to stock more now.
More good quality furniture items would be welcome and would
help in the quest to find the $1.6 million that the hospice
needed each year from the public.
Opportunity shopping is a popular pastime in Mosgiel and the

Planning decisions often have significant indirect effects. As planners, our challenge is to clearly describe these impacts and quantify them as much as possible so they can be incorporated into decision making. An example of this is the effect that transportation planning decisions have on human health. These impacts are significant but often overlooked or undervalued in the planning process. I have worked on several research projects that explore the nexus between transport planning decisions and public health, and are developing practical tools for incorporating them into planning. Let me share some of my current thinking about this issue.
The graph below shows the most recent USDOT vehicle-travel data covering the last 25 years. Although vehicle-miles of travel (VMT) grew steadily during most of the Twentieth Century, in recent years the growth rate stopped and even declined a little. It is now about 10% below where it would have been had past trends continued.
Spanish football fans are celebrating in the streets, while in The Netherlands they are drowning their sorrows, but the real winners of the 2010 World Cup are the people of South Africa. Long after the last vuvuzela is sounded, residents and visitors will enjoy the legacy of new Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) systems build in South Africa's four major cities.
Many ancient religions required animal sacrifice to satisfy their gods' desires. We now sacrifice pelicans, marine mammals and sea turtles to satisfy our desire for cheap oil.
Time is a limited and valuable resource. As much as possible, people should spend the precious hours of their lives in the most satisfying and productive possible ways. This has important implications for transportation planning, since most people spend a significant amount of time in transport, and travel time savings are often the greatest projected benefits of transport projects such as roadway and transit service improvements.
My career is based, to a large degree, on my master's thesis, which was a comprehensive evaluation of the full costs of various forms of transport. This provides a framework for determining optimal pricing, calculating the benefits of mode shifting and demand management strategies, and for comprehensive analysis of policy and planning decisions.
There are various ways to define building sustainability. A narrow perspective assumes that sustainable development simply means that buildings minimize energy consumption and climate change emissions, but a broader perspective recognizes that sustainability requires consideration of additional economic, social and other environmental impacts, such as lifecycle affordability, social equity, community integration, public health and safety, and land use impacts.
On Earth Day the US Department of Transportation released an important new, 605-page report, Transportation's Role in Reducing U.S.
We live in a wonderful age! Scientists have proven that many simple, affordable, and often enjoyable activities make us healthier and happier: breath fresh air, avoid dangerous driving, be physically active, eat fresh fruits and vegetables, maintain friendships, play games, and avoid excessive stress. Even chocolate, red wine and sex are perscribed, in moderation, for health sake.

COLUMBIA CITY — Whitley County officials heard ideas last week on sign updates around the county — and got an unsuspected surprise.
At the twice-monthly meeting of the Whitley County Board of Commissioners, Highway Department Superintendent Mike Barton presented Mitch Hansel of GAI consultants of Fort Wayne.
Barton and Hansel spoke to the three-man board about federal money available for updating signage which, according to them, is required by law and must be done by Jan. 1, 2012.
"It's mandated, we don't have a choice," said Barton.
"It's a very good deal as far as keeping us out of trouble, lawsuit-wise."
Hansel and Barton told the commissioners grant money was available, with a 10 percent match, from the federal government.
"There's $150,000 we can have for $15,000," said Barton.
A $5,000 price tag to the county's highway general fund will be used for $50,000 total to inventory all county signs while $100,000, with $10,000 of that also coming from the highway fund, will be used to replace signs around the county.
Hansel and Barton told the commissioners the deadline for applying for the grants is March 18.
County Geographic Information Systems Coordinator Dan Weigold told the commissioner he began overseeing an inventory-gathering effort of county signs beginning last October and reported about 1,400 signs had been plotted.
"We've already got a pretty good start on it," said Weigold, adding he's known about the upcoming federal requirements.
"We had heard that this federally-mandated program was coming upon us," Weigold said.
"We saw an opportunity to get a jump on this. I asked a number of times from the state and national levels how they wanted these signs attributed and I could never get a solid answer."
Commissioner Don Amber questioned a lack of intra-departmental communication in the county.
"Does the right hand not know what the left hand is doing?" Amber said.
Hansel explained to the board that signs had to be plotted via satellite with longitude and latitude. He didn't know if the groundwork started by Weigold would be able to be used.
"I don't want to pay even $5,000 of the taxpayers' money if Dan's already done some of the work," Amber said.
The commissioners gave their approval for the grant application to be submitted, but asked Barton and Hansel to look into possible reimbursements for work already done by Weigold.

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|3 - 7 nights
Rock Point accommodates six in 3 bedrooms + 2 baths. The first floor bedrooms have a queen bed and one with 2 twins. There are 2 baths, one with a tub/shower combination and washer + dryer. At the water's edge there is a kayak, canoe + row boat for your use. There is a hammock and deck furniture for relaxing and the hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor is just 20 minutes away. There are other cottages available if you are traveling with more than 6 guests. Acadia owns the entire eastern side of Hodgdon Pond. Swimmers enjoy the pond June through Sept.
Great home with ample deck space, a yard, and access to a dock. The dock is shared with the owner and their son who have their yacht and lobster boat there, respectively. The owners are friendly and accommodating. The photos give a fair representation of the home's amenities and condition.
The first time we laid eyes on our cottage and the magnificent surroundings all we could do was stand there with our mouths open. Absolutely breathtaking. That was back in the 1990's. We came back 4 years in a row to Rockpoint at Hodgon Pond. Due to life, we couldn't go back for a while, but this year we made it a point to celebrate our anniversary where our hearts yearned to return. We weren't disappointed.
We stayed at Ann's Point Cottages on Southwest Harbor. Margo Stanley is a very kind and gracious host. Our cottage was immaculate, comfortable,and we lacked nothing.
No matter what you do or where you go in the area it's all good. If you love the ocean, forests and hiking this is the place for you. If you love small villages with friendly people, this place is for you. If you want to get away to do nothing and escape the hustle and bustle of life, this place is for you.
We highly recommend any cottage that the Stanley's own. Every one is strategically located for privacy and beauty.
One of us has the habit of crying on the day of departure every time.
We plan on returning,if possible, every year.
My experience was wonderful staying here! I stayed here twice and both times the houses were clean and well stocked. Swimming and canoeing in the pond were icing on the cake! The only downside is that there is a minimum stay of 5 or 7 days during busy season, which was hard for me because I only wanted 2 or 3 days, but it is completely understandable from a business perspective. The last time I stayed I was able to meet Margo, the owner, and she was lovely to talk to, and explained she ran the business with her husband. I felt good supporting a family-owned local business.
This was our 4th visit to the Boathouse. Though small, it suits our needs (2 adults) well. Best part are the kayaks and canoe.... loons on the pond, in a canoe on a moonlit night... just steps from your door...perfect.
Our family has been staying at Pine Bluff at Hodgdon Pond for the past 8 years and our vacations in Maine have become a much beloved family tradition. Our kids, now 19 and 23, consider it their home away from home.
The house is large, clean, well maintained, and comfortable with a fully equipped kitchen, flat screen TV, and plenty of bedrooms. If there was ever any problem, Margo responded quickly to take care it.
We spent many contented rainy days reading and playing board games and watching movies in the living room. And when the weather was good, we'd spend days kayaking (Margo has plenty of canoes and kayaks) and swimming on the beautiful, serene pond.
We love being on the Quiet side of the island and being so close to Southwest Harbor with its library and great restaurants and little shops as well as close to all the great hiking in Acadia. In fact, we talked about loving Pine Bluff so much that our closest friends decided to give it a try and have now made it their annual family ritual!
Our family of five stayed in Rock Point for a week at the end of July. We wanted a a quiet location and couldn't have asked for a better house or location. The house is beautifully situated on Hodgdon Pond on the quiet side of MDI. It affords great views of the pond which is beautiful. It's very quiet with only a few homes. We enjoyed watching eagles soar over the pond. We also enjoyed the docks, kayaks and canoe the house provided. The house itself is very comfortable. Everything we needed to cook was provided. The location was ideal; most of the attractions on MDI were easy to get to.
We've rented vacation homes all over the world and found this to be one of our best experiences. Margo made the rental process so easy and smooth. We highly recommend this rental property!
Biking, beaching, hiking, canoeing, kayaking,fishing right at your doorstep as well many other areas on Mount Desert Island. Whale watching from Bar Harbor just 20 minutes away. The stars at Cadillac is a must see. Fine dining is in all of our villages, SW Harbor, Bar Harbor, Northeast Harbor and Tremont all within a half hour of Hodgdon Pond. Shopping T Shirt Shops to designer brands are available. The Gilley Museum of bird carving is located in SW Harbor. The Abbe is in Bar Harbor and there are several others to explore. Art fairs and musical groups are always available for your enjoyment.

hi everybody! I want your opinion about my design here the link
Looks pretty nice in my opinion
any opinions? i made it and the customer has not paid and disappeared
I think the top bit is ok, but after you get to the HOBOCTN section the content is very very dull. Try adding some varying backgrounds/colours and definately add some images. Even if it's just some icons. It's not in a language I can read, but a well laid out and designed site would allow me to get the idea on what the content contains without reading it. Remember, the concentration span of people browsing the internet is an average of 3 seconds. If they don't see images or something interesting they wont keep reading. (unless they have come to the site for a specific reason – ie a blog)
any opinions? i made it and the customer has not paid and disappeared
When that happens…upload it to flashden! Nice design.
i will try to make this template for a Flash, and if it approves flashden, you can download it
I think…the design looks nice…however the footer would be much better without shadow unless you put a gradient background instead of plain black..
Krasivaja okuratnaja template! Nizhnjaja chastj nemnogo skuchnovataja no vcelom ochenj neplocho… Escho ja by ubral otrazhenije vnizu
looks good…

Limelight[1] is the thirteenth episode of the sixth season of Castle.

- Castle (Refer to Pi's letter): It took me less time to write the last Derek Storm novel and although both are works of fiction as least that one was believable.
- Castle: Yeah, and just because I'm a public figure doesn't mean you need to be one too, I know.
- Beckett: Exactly.
- Castle: As long as you don't mind this sort of thing happening.
- Beckett: I don't. 'Cause it's not true. And it only gives me more material to torture you with.
- Castle: And the student becomes the master.
- Beckett: Do you believe everything that they write in the newspapers?
- Esposito: Hell no. I mean, except for that thing between Castle and his ex-wife, I mean…
- Beckett: Where's Castle?
- Ryan: He's having dinner with his other ex-wife. Something about her not wanting to feel left out.
- Esposito: Good one.
- Ryan: He's holed up in the break room writing that letter for Alexis' boyfriend.
- Beckett: Thank you.
- Alexis: The thing about my boyfriend is, I thought I was being so grown up, moving in with him, getting my own place, but now it's my whole life and I'm pretty sure I've made a huge mistake. Do you know why I'm helping him with his grant application? Because if he gets it, he'll have to travel.
- Mandy Sutton: That is messed up. You need tell him.
- Alexis: Tell him what? That I've changed my mind? I don't want a relationship? We have a lease.
- Mandy: That's romantic.
- Alexis: And he doesn't deserve it. He hasn't done anything wrong. Oh, and then there's my Dad. What do I tell him, huh? That he was right all along? That I wasn't ready?
- Mandy: I wish I would have said that. I wasn't ready for so many things.
- Alexis: Do you ever look back on something you've done and it's like someone else is doing it?
- Mandy: You're kidding, right?
Featured MusicEdit
- "Applause" - Lady Gaga
- In this episode, Beckett decides to announce to the papers her engagement to Castle.
- At the end of this episode, Alexis expressed doubt about her relationship with Pi.
- Beckett chooses to announce her and Castle's engagement partly because the newspapers were suggesting that he was getting back together with his ex-wife, Gina Cowell, who does not appear. The other part was because she wanted any story about Castle's love life to be about them.

Soul-sucking 'dementor' wasps and 8 other crazy new species
Soul-Sucking Dementor Wasp
Latin name: Ampulex dementor
Topics: Politics News
During the nearly month-long controversy surrounding the gifts Bill and Hillary Clinton accepted last year, the political press has established three details as fact and repeated them endlessly.
First, anxious to fill their new private homes, the Clintons received $190,000 worth of gifts in the last year. Second, Hillary pursued this by registering like a bride for gift at Borsheim's Fine Jewelry & Gifts. Third, they moved fast, because once Hillary was sworn in as New York's new senator, she would be barred from accepting gifts worth more than $50.
The first detail showed the Clintons were greedy. The second? That they were tacky. The third, that they were duplicitous, plotting to circumvent Senate ethics laws.
From the perspective of the press, just one of those items would have constituted a good news story. A combination of any two was worth a running commentary. But all three justified a bona fide feeding frenzy.
Problem is, none of them are true. The gifts in question were received over an eight-year period, not one. Hillary was never registered at Borsheim's. And the Senate gift ban would not have forbidden Sen.Clinton from receiving all the generous items. None of that, though, has gotten in the way of the press telling a story it likes.
On President Clinton's final day in office, in accordance with federal law the couple disclosed that for the year 2000 they had accepted $190,027 worth of gifts, including sweaters, lamps, golf clubs, china and glass sculptures. That's an extraordinary amount, nearly double what the Clintons had received during their first seven years in the White House, combined. (For some context, during their four years in the White House, the least amount of gifts George and Barbara Bush accepted in any given year was $21,000; the most the Clintons accepted during their first four years was $16,000.)
An important clue for 2000′s lofty price tag, though, was included right on the Clintons' official Executive Branch Personnel Public Financial Disclosure Report, which was distributed to the press: "This list includes gifts received over the last eight years, but which were not accepted by the Clintons until last year." (As gifts accumulate at the White House, first families can wait until their final year before officially accepting them or not.)
It couldn't be more simple; last year the Clintons officially accepted $190,000 worth of gifts which they had received during the last eight years. And how was it reported?
The Associated Press: "In the year before President Clinton left office and Hillary Rodham Clinton entered the Senate, the first couple received $190,027 worth of furniture and other gifts."
New York Daily News : Friends "showered the Clintons with $190,027 in gifts in 2000."
U.S. News & World Report: "The Clintons got gifts worth $190,027 last year."
(In an odd bit of schizophrenia, the Weekly Standard mocked the Clintons for "rattling their begging bowls last year" for gifts. Then two sentences later the magazine quoted from the couple's disclosure form, which stipulated the gifts were received "over the last eight years.")
At least those news outlets put the gifts in terms of years. Others became even more creative, narrowing the gift giving down from years to weeks and even days.
The Orlando Sentinel : The Clintons accumulated the gifts "in the weeks before" they left the White House.
NBC's Andrea Mitchell: The gifts poured in "during the First Family's last days in the White House."
NBC's David Bloom: The Clintons left with "the treasure trove of gifts they accepted in their final days in the White House."
USA Today: In an editorial, the paper suggested the controversy surrounded "last-minute gifts."
The Kansas City Star: The gifts arrived "as the former president was leaving office."
National Public Radio's Scott Simon: The Clintons accepted their 50-plus gifts during "those few golden days between Sen. Clinton's election and her oath of office, when Senate ethics laws would prohibit accepting such a trousseau of treasures."
We'll get to that Senate gift ban, but Simon's sinister construction became a common one: The gift giving was all a plot laid out only after Hillary won her election.
The AP: There were "indications that some of the larger gifts rolled in late in the year, just before the Clintons left the White House ."
The Washington Post: In an editorial, the paper suggested that "many of the items were given after Mrs. Clinton was elected to the Senate in November."
Perhaps Post editorial writers know something its reporters don't. Because in three weeks of blanket coverage on this story no news outlet, including the Post or the AP, has been able to identify a single gift, let alone $190,000 worth, given to the Clintons after the Nov. 7 election and before Hillary's Jan. 3 swearing in.
Last week, the Clintons finally stepped forward and offered to pay for the $86,000 worth of gifts they received in 2000, some of which had a strong whiff of impropriety: $7,000 worth of furniture from Denise Rich — the ex-wife of Marc Rich, the fugitive financier Clinton pardoned — and a truckload of housewarming gifts from friends that had little to do with the first couple's official duties. But at this point, the record was suddenly clear; $104,000 of their $190,000 worth of gifts were not given "last year" or in the "weeks" or "days" or "hours" before they left the White House. Instead, the gifts were given between 1993 and 2000. Of course, no news organization stepped forward to correct those earlier errors. Even if reporters or pundits had simply overlooked the mention of an eight-year span, a few phone calls to the Clintons' biggest gift donors would have helped set the record straight. Yet there are indications that some reporters did make the calls, but were not interested in writing up the facts.
When the Clintons' full-disclosure form was released last month, it included a pricey $22,000 personal gift from glass sculptor Dale Chihuly. As the controversy began to simmer, Chihuly's office started getting press inquirers asking about the circumstances of the gift. Chihuly's assistant Janet Makela says she explained to each reporter that although the gift was included on the 2000 list, it was actually given to the Clintons eight years ago.
Yet an electronic search on Nexis shows not a single mention of that fact.
Speaking of Chihuly, the Georgetown alumni class of 1968 also gave the Clintons a $38,000 Chihuly piece, which the couple accepted in 2000. In reality, the gift was given in 1998.
And then there is New York furniture maker Steve Mittman, who, according to the disclosure form, gave $19,000 worth of sofas, easy chairs and ottomans. Going on nothing more than a hunch, New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd wrote that Mittman's gifts were part of the Clintons' goodbye gift splurge intended to stock their new homes. Actually, the items were given seven years ago. Dowd made a similar error in referring to the timing of the $22,000 Chihuly piece.
Combined, the two glass sculptures, as well as Mittman's furniture, represent nearly one-half of the Clintons' $190,000 gift total. Yet none of them were given to the Clintons last year when they were supposedly stocking up on goodbye gifts.
The Times' Dowd also played a starring role in creating the story that Hillary had registered for expensive goodbye gifts at Borsheim's. Dancing around the facts, she never came out and wrote that Hillary was registered, but that friends were treating her "like a bride" with gifts from the store. Borsheim's CEO, not to mention Hillary's spokesperson, immediately denied she was registered with the store or that anyone had set up a registry for her.
It didn't matter. The press loved the limousine-liberal angle, and if Dowd wouldn't say that Hillary was registered, others would.
NBC's Mitchell: "Mrs. Clinton registered her choices last November, just like a new bride."
Syndicated columnist Mona Charen: "Hillary likes to shop at Borsheim's Fine Jewelry & Gifts in Omaha, and according to Dowd, her china and silver patterns are on the registry list there for those who wish to help out the new homeowner."
New York Daily News: "Clinton had registered her choices for gifts in November, just like a bride."
New York Post columnist Dick Morris: "Apparently, it was not enough for them to establish a bridal-like registry to solicit almost $200,000 worth of china, silver and furniture for their Chappaqua and D.C. mansions."
Keep in mind: The two parties involved, Hillary Clinton and Borsheim's, long ago denied the existence of a registry and to date no reporter has been able to come up with any other proof that one exists, yet the fact is simply retold over and over. Why? The press likes the story.
Just like the press loves the Senate gift-ban angle, which introduced an element of real wrongdoing. Once again, the notion was first floated by Dowd, who wrote, "As a senator, Hillary won't be able to accept gifts worth more than $100. But as First Lady, she can take gifts as long as she discloses those over $250. So we have a nice window of opportunity before Jan. 3."
Because no first lady had ever left the White House and gone directly into elected office, this issue had never come up before. Plus, the Senate gift ban is relatively new. But following Dowd's lead, the press, just as it was sure all the Clinton gifts were given last year and that Hillary had registered like a bride, was utterly confident about the Senate gift ban.
The Providence Journal: "The recent acts of generosity were rushed to avoid congressional rules forbidding such freebies that would have gone into effect for Mrs. Clinton once she took the oath of office as New York's junior senator."
NBC's Mitchell: "The gifts were donated by friends and Democratic Party contributors just before Mrs. Clinton was sworn in, to avoid violating Senate ethics rules."
The New York Post: "Now that she is a senator, Hillary Clinton is covered by much stricter gift rules — she can't accept any item worth more than $50 or a total of over $100 worth of presents from an individual in a single year."
Problem is, that's not what the law actually says. Yes, senators are forbidden from accepting gifts valued at more than $50. But according to the Senate Ethics Manual, "The Gift Rule contains 23 exceptions: the following gifts are expressly excluded from the Rule's limitations: 4) anything provided by an individual on the basis of a personal friendship."
Senators may accepts gifts if they are given based on personal friendship and where "there is no potential conflict of interest or appearance of impropriety." Any such gifts worth more than $250 need a waiver from the Senate Ethics Committee. "Thus, gifts motivated solely by personal friendship between the giver and the Member are permissible. However, where the gift giver does not personally pay for the gift, or take a tax deduction, or gives similar gifts to others in the Senate, or seek reimbursement, the gift is unlikely to come within the personal friendship exemption."
Most of the gifts given to the Clintons last year would seem to fit all those waiver criteria since nobody has suggested any of the gift givers didn't spend their own money, or were seeking a tax deduction or reimbursement. Nobody has suggested their friends have legislation pending before the Senate or pose any other conflict of interest. And nobody has suggested they gave similar gifts to other members of the Senate.
What about Denise Rich and her $7,000 worth of gifts? If they were given to the Clintons after Jan. 3, Hillary could have, in theory, sought a waiver since the pardon of Rich's husband, which Hillary had nothing to do with, was already a done deal. Therefore, no conflict of interest with the Senate existed. The Gift Rule contains another relevant exception: spouses. According to the Senate Ethics Manual: "Unlike the previous Rule 25, spouses and dependents are not separately subjected to the gift limitation. Rather under the current rule, a gift to a family member is considered a gift to the Member only if it is given with the knowledge and acquiescence of the Member and the Member has reason to believe the gift was given because of the official position of the Member."
Does anyone really think the Clintons were given their gifts because Hillary was about to become a senator? Indeed, with $104,000 worth of gifts coming before last year, most gift givers gave before Hillary ever won the election, let alone announced her intention to run. And even if old friends waited until this year to give the Clintons expensive housewarming gifts, because Bill is arguably just as much a recipient as Sen. Clinton, Hillary could ask for waivers based on the spouse exemption.
Meanwhile, the gift store just keeps on giving. After assigning three reporters and four researchers, the Washington Post reported on Monday that some of the gifts the Clintons took may have been given to the White House, and not to them personally. The Clintons insist there was a clerical snafu and that any gifts intended for the White House would be returned. By Monday afternoon, the White House's nonpartisan usher and executive manager, Gary Walters, assured CNN the Clintons had not erred in taking their gifts. "Everything that belongs to the government is still here," he said.
New York furniture maker Mittman, whose gifts were in dispute in the Post story, subsequently told reporters he's glad the Clintons took his furniture. More important, he thinks the whole gift tale is trivial.
He's not the only one.

Madvillain: Madvillainy 2: The Box
As a huge fan of the original, I was pleasantly surprised to find out that Stones Throw have just released a reworking of the classic hip-hop album Madvillainy (2004) with a special box of goodies, or as they much more eloquently put it:
"a big ass box full of cool ass shit that you won't be able to get anywhere else.â€
Here's a look at what's inside (reposted images). A 7 inch of a lost Madlib track recently found:
A cassette tape of the original unfinished demo tape that was infamously leaked:
A Madvillain tee:
A comic book continuing on from the All Caps video:
And of course the cd (yawn):
Jeff Jank, art director for Stones Throw, designed the artwork and packaging. I asked him for some more photos hoping to get more of a peek inside, but even he is yet to get his hands on the complete package which is currently being manufactured. You can get the details here and pre-order here.
Here is the cover of the original Madvillainy album:
On a complete tangent, but related note, J.J. Abrams talks about the power of the 'mystery box' which I found appropriate here.
It's good to see labels on the right track producing quality packaging and offering extras true fans crave for.

TERREBONNE, Ore. Authorities say a 14-year-old boy was shot to death while sleeping inside a motor home at a hunting camp in Central Oregon and a 21-year-old Lonepine man was arrested.
Sheriff Rodd Clark of Crook County says Brandon Hornseth was arrested Monday evening and charged with first-degree manslaughter in the death of Justin Butler of Culver. Butler and his family were elk hunting at the family ranch in Terrebonne when gunshots were heard shortly after 3 a.m. Sunday. Those inside in the motor home turned on the lights and discovered the teen had been fatally shot in the head.
Clark says the shots came from a distance and evidence pointed to Hornseth.

I want to retrieve a child of the window I am in Gtk#. So far the only way I found looking at the documentation is to do it using a loop through the
Children property of the Window, like:
foreach (Widget w in this)
if (w.Name == "MyWidget")
return w;
this is the window.
I am sure there must be a better, cleaner and efficient way to directly retrieve a particular child widget from an element, based on some of its properties.
Thanks for your help!

On March 18, the FSA published a consultation paper (CP13/8) setting out proposals on how the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) will use its new power under section 391(1)(c) of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (FSMA) to publish information about the matter to which a warning notice relates.
The consultation paper stated that the FCA will consider each case on its merits but will generally publish a statement where it has issued a warning notice to which the power under section 391(1)(c) applies. When considering whether a publication would be unfair to the person against whom the action is proposed to be taken, the FCA will consider whether the person is an individual or a firm and to what extent they have been made aware of the case against them. Information about the warning notice will be published in a statement by the FCA. The statement will not normally contain details of any proposed sanctions, and if the FCA does intend to publish a warning notice statement, the person to whom the notice is given or copied will be consulted.

OK. Now for the rest of the debate.
The fans have spoken, and, well, so what if they only got half of the starters right? If you'd rather see Vince Carter, Allen Iverson and Tracy McGrady line up for the opening jump at Staples -- instead of Ron Artest, Baron Davis and Michael Redd -- it's your game. If you'd rather see Yao Ming and Steve Francis starting for the West over Shaquille O'Neal and Sam Cassell, I understand. You love the players you love, and no further explanation is needed ... although some of us Professor Highbrows still feel that a ballot should be punched responsibly.
Let's proceed to the real source of contention. On Tuesday, the seven East and West reserves will be announced. We'll pick ESPN.com's reserves following the same guidelines that the coaches get from the league office. That's two forwards, two guards, one center and two wild cards in each conference.
To argue?
Western Conference reserves
TWO FORWARDS: Peja Stojakovic and Andrei Kirilenko.
Stein's justification: Peja should be starting, and there couldn't possibly be any debate about that. Alas, he's a forward in the box score and on the All-Star ballot, which put him in the same race with Kevin Garnett and Tim Duncan. So the Kings' first-half MVP candidate will have to settle for reserve duty. As for the second forward, Kirilenko wins out in a perennially deep field that got even deeper this season with the emergence of AK-47, Zach Randolph, Brad Miller and Carmelo Anthony. Kirilenko, though, stands out as a coach's dream, as an impact player at both ends. Just like Karl Malone, he's playing power forward in Utah like no one else has ever played it ... except that the slender Russian is doing it in a totally different manner than Mailman. And if you need further justification: Utah has to have an All-Star for shocking the world with its ability to stay competitive sans Malone and John Stockton. Who else but Mr. Mohawk, who sealed his selection with us by ditching the Mohawk.
TWO GUARDS: Sam Cassell and Mike Bibby.
Stein's justification: Cassell's career-long quest to finally reach the All-Star Game, after 11 seasons, has received so much media attention that there's no way the coaches pass the Minnesota Mouth over this time. Picking that second guard in the West is the toughie, because the natural choice (Seattle's Ray Allen) missed too many games. Our choice: Bibby, who edges out Dallas' Steve Nash and the Lakers' Gary Payton. The Kings should definitely have two All-Stars, given their 32-12 start without Chris Webber, and Bibby deserves to be Peja's sidekick. That's because Bibby has received zero fanfare for doing exactly what he vowed to do, improving in several categories after a so-so season in 2002-03 that started with a foot injury and never really kicked in.
CENTER: Shaquille O'Neal.
Stein's justification: Unlike the East, there are actually a few viable contenders here. Miller has lived up to his $68 million price tag in Sacramento. Golden State's Erick Dampier, meanwhile, has quietly become a regular double-double customer, much like your humble correspondent. You could legitimately pick either one, but that would mean ignoring a slimmed-down Shaq, which we just won't do. O'Neal has indeed missed 33 percent of the Lakers' 42 games through injury, but we're not going to forget how dominant L.A. was early, rolling to that 18-3 start. Besides, what kind of All-Star Game would it be in L.A. if Shaq wasn't there to be the host?
TWO WILD CARDS: Dirk Nowitzki and Carmelo Anthony.
Stein's justification: For a while it looked like Dallas wouldn't have an All-Star, but the Mavericks' recent surge -- coinciding with Nowitzki's recent surge -- makes Dirk the most deserving representative. 'Melo's selection might be tougher to justify, but, as stated here many times, team success is huge with us and the Nuggets have been a huge success. Personal aside: I think it would be a bit unfair if LeBron James makes the East roster, as I fully expect, and 'Melo is stuck playing in the Rookie Game. So hopefully the coaches will go for 'Melo, too.
THE LEADING SNUBEES: Memphis is another Surprise Team That Deserves An All-Star. Trouble is, the Grizzlies do it with depth more than any one standout performer, so I'm afraid Pau Gasol is a Snubee. Same goes for Randolph (great numbers, but his team has been mostly dismal) and two quality Clippers -- Elton Brand and Corey Maggette.
Eastern Conference reserves
TWO FORWARDS: Ron Artest and Kenyon Martin.
Stein's justification: Artest, aside from that one run-in with Rick Carlisle, has been a fine citizen in Indiana. More importantly, he is no less responsible for Indiana's ongoing leadership of the East than Jermaine O'Neal. Hopefully Artest -- that rare stopper who can score as well -- will be healthy enough to participate. New Jersey's Martin, meanwhile, is the other sure bet. The Nets' season has been soaked in turmoil, but don't ignore that Martin has answered critics by averaging nearly 10 rebounds per game, in response to longstanding charges that he doesn't do enough board work to go with his good defense.
TWO GUARDS: Baron Davis and Michael Redd.
Stein's justification: These guys were picked as East starters in this cyberspace Wednesday, so this shouldn't be a great surprise. Davis has slumped since November, and he definitely does shoot too many 3s, but his fatigue is understandable after carrying New Orleans for three months without Jamal Mashburn. I've slobbered over Redd for weeks -- and you don't know how much we hate most things red -- so by now you knew he'd be here. And if I'm not mistaken, our favorite lefty bomber recently served up a couple 40s for the doubters.
CENTER: Zydrunas Ilgauskas.
Stein's justification: This position causes countless problems in the East because, truth be told, there is no second center who belongs on the All-Star team. And because the league insists that coaches have to pick a legitimate center as a backup, that will force East coaches to choose between Jason Kidd, Paul Pierce and LeBron for two spots ... unless you can convince the league that Pierce is a forward. How strict is the league? I know one coach, one year, who submitted Duncan as a center in the West. The league kicked back the ballot, saying Duncan had to be a forward no matter how much time he spends in the low post. So ... where does that leave us in the Least? In trouble, that's where. Cleveland's Ilgauskas and New Orleans' Jamaal Magloire are the next-best East centers behind Ben Wallace, so one of them is inevitably headed for L.A. Ilgauskas must be Lithuanian for "by default."
TWO WILD CARDS: Jason Kidd and LeBron James.
Stein's justification: Yikes. As stated above, being forced to take Ilgauskas or Magloire means we have to choose two from the following trio: Kidd, Pierce and James. Although the whole Byron Scott saga played out so offensively, Pierce's recent slide clinches it here. We're going with Kidd and The Kid, and it really came down to Kidd vs. Pierce. There is no way we were leaving LeBron off the All-Star team, with the way he has handled all the never-before-seen challenges of his first half-season and given how Cleveland is actually starting to mount a bit of a playoff challenge. Sorry, Rookie Game: I look forward to seeing LeBron on 'Melo on the big stage.
THE LEADING SNUBEES: Pierce obviously tops the list, but Miami's Lamar Odom is another swingman we wanted to make room for, since Odom is threatening to average a double-double after his $60-plus million contract was widely questioned. Atlanta's Shareef Abdur-Rahim has the numbers to qualify, but numbers ain't enough. Toronto's Donyell Marshall and Cleveland's Carlos Boozer also made us look, but it's laughable to suggest three All-Stars from the Cavs ... and Ilgauskas has to be included. If Artest can't play, look for Pierce to get that spot.

text: Lotus exposed as late paying Renault powered team 10 May, 2014 Lotus has been exposed as the culprit team after supplier Renault complained about unpaid engine bills. Earlier in Barcelona, Renault chief Jean-Michel Jalinier warned that some of the French marque's Formula 1 customers could soon have their turbo V6s turned off. Jalinier did not name the delinquent teams, but Lotus' struggle to pay drivers and suppliers in 2013 was widely known. Red Bull is Renault's de-facto 'works' team, so it is unlikely that Jalinier was referring to the reigning world champions. And the boss of the other Red Bull-owned team, Toro Rosso's Franz Tost, said on Friday: "As far as I'm aware, we have paid everything." The only other Renault-powered teams in 2014 are Lotus and backmarker Caterham, whose team boss Cyril Abiteboul said: "It's a confidential issue but I'm happy since I'm on time to say that we are settled with invoices with Renault Sport Formula 1." Lotus have yet to comment. (GMM) Subbed by AJN. Content on GrandPrix247.com by: staff & contributors, Reuters syndication, GMM service, Getty Images, Formula 1 teams, sponsors & organisations.

We are pleased with the synergistic opportunities that this transaction has brought to our organization. In the near future, we expect to use this growth platform to launch new Sprott-branded products targeted to U.S. investors.""In 2010, we were successful in growing our asset base and adding potentially lucrative new businesses lines and, with the integration of the Global Group of Companies, we are now beginning to see the earning potential of our larger, more diversified organization. This added scale contributed to a 53% increase in management fees and a 64% increase in base EBITDA over the same period last year," continued Mr. Grosskopf. "We continue to broaden our product offerings and during the quarter we raised $91 million through our second flow-through offering. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, we launched the Sprott Silver Bullion fund, an open ended mutual fund designed to capitalize on the sustained investor demand for investments backed by physical metals.""While precious metals have experienced a correction in recent weeks, their fundamentals remain extremely compelling in the face of rising inflation and ongoing international debt issues.

The 88% increase in AUM resulted from a combination of the addition of $0.7 billion in AUM through the acquisition of the Global Group of Companies, strong net flows and $0.2 billion in market value appreciation of Funds, Managed Accounts and Managed Companies. Net sales for the quarter were $260 million, compared with net sales of $417 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2010. During the quarter, $91 million of the net sales came from the launch of the Sprott 2011 Flow-Through Limited Partnership. The remaining $169 million in net sales were spread across Sprott's domestic mutual and hedge funds as well as the company's offshore funds. The majority of the net sales in the first quarter of 2010 were attributable to the Initial Public Offering of the Sprott Physical Gold Trust.Income StatementTotal revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 increased by 53.6% to $39.5 million, from $25.7 million in the first quarter of 2010.Management fees increased by 53.6% to $35.5 million, from $23.2 million in the first quarter of 2010, as monthly average AUM increased by approximately 81.1% over the same period. Management fee margins fell to 1.5% in the first quarter of 2011 from 1.9% in the first quarter of 2010. The decrease is mainly due the significant growth in bullion funds, which have a lower management fee than the majority of the other Sprott Funds.Gains from proprietary investments totaled $0.4 million for the first quarter of 2011, compared with a loss of $0.4 million in the first quarter of 2010.Commission revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, was $3.0 million compared to $2.6 million during the prior year period. In the first quarter of 2011, commission revenue was mainly due to commissions generated by Global Resource Investments Limited. During the first quarter of 2010, Sprott Private Wealth earned commissions from the sale of units of Sprott Power Corp., Sprott 2011 Flow Through Limited Partnership and Sprott Physical Gold trust to its private clients.Other income increased by $0.1 million in the first quarter of 2011 to $0.4 million from $0.3 million for the first quarter of 2010.Total expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 were $24.6 million, an increase of $8.1 million or 49.0%, compared with $16.5 million for 2010.
