Istanbul, Turkey
My Rating
Wouldn't spend this money on this particular tour.
Basically strolling through the spice bazaar, and crossing the inter continental bridge and waste time in a cafeteria in the afternoon, were definitely not worth the money.
The cruise in the Bosphorus is worth doing, but easily accessible through the many venues available on site for a lot less money.
Athens, Greece
My Rating
Costas is the owner and was our guide for thIs very personal and great tour.
He is very passionate, and proud to show what most tourists will never see in Athens.
We were only 4 people, which allowed a very personal, and enjoyable experience.
To top it of, he even provided a picnic meal overlooking the Acropolis, from a hidden area, which most tourists don't get to see.
I would strongly recommend this tour for those who want to see more of Athens from a passionate Athenian

A lot of time spent on the bus, but the destination was superb. Guide was knowledgeable.

Great combination of travel and walking with guide who was very knowledgeable.
Only drawback was rushing through the small museum where there are a few exhibits worth spending more time.

Guide was very knowledgeable, and the combination of seeing Acropolis in the morning, with the driving along throats to cape Sounion was perfect.
Madrid, Spain
My Rating
The way the tour was outlined is a not worth the money. We spent more than 5 hours of the 9 hours of
The tour on te bus traveling to and between the cities.
The places visited were mainly churches and ca Thessaly, and af ter being i Spain for a week, what do I need to
See one more cathedral. Will all due respect, the tour missed on the rich history of this country.
The guide, Carla, was curt, unpleasant, and very redundant with the useless information that poor guides usually end up filling the time, such as dates, distances, and warnings as far as where to meet, etc, literally repeating every single one at least 5 times, let alone, every thing was repea Ted in Spanish and English!!
Does the visiting tourist really care what distances lays between the cities, or how many people live in the cities visited? I personally would mention once ,and spend all the time discussing, history, which is so rich in this country , but unfortunately the guide missed it.information was short, not willing to answer questions, and simply didn't seem to be enjoying her job( at least on this beautiful day).
Madrid, Spain

Great visit to this gem of city, our tour guide George was very knowledgeable, and cordial, making this a very pleasant tour.
Toledo is a must if you planing to visit Madrid. Make the effort not to miss it!

Uncle Kracker – "Smile"
Since Uncle Kracker's debut single "Follow Me" shot up the pop charts in 2001 and paved the way for artists such as Jason Mraz and John Mayer, the singer has straddled the lines between rock, pop, soul and country(ish) music.
That qualifying -ish reflects the lightweight fare he's touched within the genre on "When the Sun Goes Down," his duet with Kenny Chesney, and Kid Rock co-write (slash "Sweet Home Alabama" rehash) "All Summer Long."
Country, he ain't–in fact, it's a stretch to even play fast and loose with the "mainstream pop-country" umbrella when describing his latest single "Smile."
The tune appears on his fourth album Happy Hour, released in September from Atlantic Records and billed as a "breezy blend of country-flavored pop and rock and roll." As a collection, it has softer, more dance-friendly fare than his previous efforts, despite some semblance of a rebel edge he tries to maintain by smoking a cigarette on its cover.
Without lingering on the tired "is it or isn't it" debate, the greatest deficiency of "Smile" has nothing to do with its label. Instead, for an artist who made his name constructing interesting beats, arrangements and melodies, this tune is a bland, forgettable letdown.
A survey of its lyrics–which make his "All Summer Long" co-write sound downright Shakespearean–should look familiar to any fourth-grade teachers grading their students' poetry homework: "You make me smile like the sun/Fall out of bed, sing like bird/Dizzy in my head, spin like a record/Crazy on a Sunday night/You make me dance like a fool/Forget how to breathe/Shine like gold, buzz like a bee."
Born Matthew Shafer, the Michigan native got his start in Detroit as a DJ for Kid Rock. On this song, he exudes an easy, genuine charisma that's all but signed, sealed and delivered in this summer-flavored, beach-ready package. But past the charm of its singer, whose quirky vocal imperfections at least stand out in a sea of auto-tune and power notes, the song quickly breaks down amidst the tinkling of piano keys.
If country music truly is the final frontier for displaced artists such as Uncle Kracker, this song doesn't bode well for his staying-power on the charts. Like his friend Kid Rock, Uncle Kracker's stab at a country music career doesn't feel completely inauthentic. Both seem to possess respect for the genre and its history–it's just a shame they don't seem to have even half as much respect for its future.

I have to admit I really don't think The 9513 would waste time on this song. The 9513 has a lot of great insights, but "Smile" has been a pop hit for a while now and I've even heard it on department store radios and soft rock stations. I don't think this is a legitimate country release by any means, but more of a way of reintroducing Kracker to the world of music.
I guess my point is he really doesn't need country radio to make this song a hit thus far, so it's not really the scinario of a displaced artist. Yeah he's crossed over with kenny before and such, but i don't think this was meant to be a country hit.
I personally like the song, but agree its not "country", thus I just don't think it's worth the time to review it as one.
Actually, they just released a so-called "Country" version with a steel ride and some fiddles. Sent to radio this past week. I dig it – it's soft and easy, but I wouldn't air it on my country radio.
…doesn't sound bad if it's played on your average morning radio show. the way noeller describes it, i can see that it can be countrified, however, that won't be enough to seriously lift it up from mediocrity.
So this isn't the Charlie Chaplin song?
I wonder why it took so long for this to be reviewed. Even before the country remix was issued, it managed to climb to #51 on the Country chart months beforehand.
Noah, the Detroit station WYCD was spinning it as an album cut long before it was officially sent to country radio.

Rottenstein Law Group LLP Responds to Calif. Judge Allowing DePuy ASR, Pinnacle Lawsuit Combination
The firm is actively filing DePuy Pinnacle lawsuits on behalf of those who have suffered metallosis, premature device failure, and other serious complications allegedly related to the metal-on-metal hip devices.
(PRWEB) July 30, 2013
A San Francisco Superior Court judge has ruled that some plaintiffs in DePuy ASR hip implant lawsuits in California can add DePuy Pinnacle hip implant claims to their lawsuits. The Rottenstein Law Group LLP, which maintains a Pinnacle side effects and lawsuits website at http://www.rotlaw.com/depuy-pinnacle-hip, is pleased with the news.
Judge Richard Kramer allowed a motion filed jointly by seven plaintiffs, according to a July 26 report in Mass Device.* DePuy recalled the metal-on-metal ASR in 2010, but has not yet recalled the metal-on-metal Pinnacle hip replacement system.
"It is beneficial to these plaintiffs that they will be able to file claims for both devices," said Rochelle Rottenstein, principal of the Rottenstein Law Group LLP.
The two DePuy products have been under U.S. Food and Drug Administration scrutiny, primarily because of one dangerous alleged side effect called "metal poisoning," or "metallosis." According to the FDA**, metal particles could peel off into the patient's bloodstream when the device's metal parts rub together. This could lead to potentially severe health problems.
There are thousands of lawsuits consolidated in federal court, according to court documents in In re: DePuy Orthopaedics Inc., Pinnacle Hip Implant Products Liability Litigation (MDL-2244; U.S District Court for the Northern District of Texas).
The Rottenstein Law Group LLP represents clients in DePuy Pinnacle hip implant lawsuits. The firm encourages those who believe they have suffered from the Pinnacle's alleged side effects to contact the firm to learn more about possible compensation from DePuy Pinnacle lawsuits.

Being in charge of the 'Winterhaven Regulars', the local guard and militia, Rond finds himself busy as of late with all the happenings in WinterHaven.
He was eager to help the party with any information they needed knowing that he himself could now stop the kobold problem rising in the village.
He's also known for telling dwarves to not falsely accuse certain half-orcs in the city limits of being in cahoots with said Kobolds. =)

Hello. We are a couple staying 4 nights in Barcelona for sightseeing. We've chosen this hotel because of good advices from Web and a good discount. Hotel is really clean and modern. Staff is welcoming and answers all questions. Our room was on opposite side of the street so we hear no noise from street or surroundings. Nevertheless, walls are thin and if other clients are noisiy, we can hear everything easily. By luck, our neighboors were quiet. Hotel is close to Psg Gracia where you can find casa de mila and walk down the street to placa catalonya. Subway is 10min walk from hotel and there are any bus in the area. For breakfast, you can choose hotel's one but we have preferred finding bakerei on our way because we don't eat that much in the morning that would justify 12€. Overall good hotel with good price and quality

INDIANAPOLIS Involving family members of pediatric cancer and hematology patients in medical rounds benefits both the family and the medical team, according to a new Indiana University School of Medicine study.
Riley Hospital for Children, where the study was conducted, is now one of only a small number of hospitals nationwide routinely offering the parents of pediatric cancer and hematology patients the opportunity to join their child's medical team as active participants in the discussion and planning of their son's or daughter's care.
Medical rounds in hospitals across the United States have changed over the years. They have evolved from formal didactic presentations conducted with great pomp in auditoriums with theater seating where the patient sat quietly on display; to bedside rounds as portrayed in television programs such as Scrubs, Grey's Anatomy and House. The current practice of sit-down team rounds physically removed from the family and patient have become standard due to heighted sensitivity to medical privacy.
The composition of rounding teams has evolved as well. At leading medical institutions, like Riley Hospital, the rounding team has expanded to include nurses, social workers, nutritionists, clinical pharmacists, and others in addition to the traditional medical students, residents, fellows and the attending physician. The more medical participants involved, the less likely parents were to participate as team rounds moved from the bedside to the conference room.
"Parents of children with cancer are often in an unsettling environment and are under a lot of stress. They frequently feel unable to communicate effectively with the many people who are taking care of their daughter or son. They may be reluctant to leave their child's bedside for fear of missing the opportunity to talk with members of the medical team," said Holly M. Knoderer, M.D., M.S., clinical assistant professor of pediatrics and clinical p

Historic super-focused laser shot paves the way for fusion energy
The laser's power is intended to explode the outer layer of a fuel capsule, compressing what fuel survives to trigger a fusion reaction.

A U.S. fusion lab has made a record-shattering laser shot that focused a cluster of lasers on a single target like a mini Death Star. The new record for the highest-power laser shot paves the way for the lab's efforts to create sustainable fusion energy, similar to what takes place in the fiery heart of stars.
The National Ignition Facility (NIF) delivered more than 500 trillion watts (terawatts or TW) of power during its historic test shot on July 5 — about 1,000 times more power than the entire United States uses at any given time. That power came from 1.85 megajoules of energy that represent about 100 times as much as what any other laser can sustain.
"The 500 TW shot is an extraordinary accomplishment by the NIF Team, creating unprecedented conditions in the laboratory that hitherto only existed deep in stellar interiors," said Richard Petrasso, a physicist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Each of the 192 lasers fired within a few trillionths of a second of each other at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory's National Ignition Facility (NIF) in California. They focused their power on a pea-size target, similar to a capsule that can hold the deuterium and tritium fuel needed for achieving fusion — the process that creates energy from the fusing of atoms.
All that laser power is needed for the NIF's plans to try an approach known as inertial confinement fusion. The combined laser power would make the fuel capsule's outer layer explode outward and create an opposite reaction — according to Newton's third law — that would compress the remaining fuel enough to trigger a fusion reaction.
The July 5 test that delivered the highest-powered laser shot ever represented the third of NIF's laser shots to focus more than 1.8 megajoules (MJ) of energy on the target. Scientists previously set the record for the highest-energy laser shot ever by delivering 1.89 MJ to the target with a peak power of 423 TW on July 3.
"NIF is becoming everything scientists planned when it was conceived over two decades ago," said Edward Moses, director of NIF. "It is fully operational, and scientists are taking important steps toward achieving ignition and providing experimental access to user communities for national security, basic science and the quest for clean fusion energy."

Updated: June 28, 2012 | Filed under: Credit Scores & Repair
There are a lot of advertisements on television, print, radio and the Internet about getting a free credit score. They are a little misleading.

Sgt. Steve Maharidge, like many of his generation, hardly ever talked about the war. The only sign he'd served in it was a single black and white photograph of himself and another soldier tacked to the wall of his basement, where he would grind steel. After Steve Maharidge's death, his son Dale, now an adult, began a twelve-year quest to understand his father's preoccupation with the photo. What had happened during the battle for Okinawa, and why his father had remained silent about his experiences and the man in the picture, Herman Mulligan? In his search for answers, Maharidge sought out the survivors of Love Company, many of whom had never before spoken so openly and emotionally about what they saw and experienced on Okinawa.
In Bringing Mulligan Home, Maharidge delivers an affecting narrative of war and its aftermath, of fathers and sons, with lessons for the children whose parents are returning from war today.
About the Author
Dale Maharidge is Associate Professor at Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism. He has published seven books, including "And Their Children After Them", which won the Pulitzer Prize, and "Journey to Nowhere: The Saga of the New Underclass". Michael S. Williamson is a photographer at the "Washington Post" who has collaborated with Maharidge on many of his books.

Running Forehands
View Single Post

Here is Gustavo Kuerten hitting a running/buggy whip forehand off of a sampras first serve. He's uses an extreme grip. He has a great running forehand.
I think the running forehand is one of the easiest shots to learn. Most people I know that have good ones, just learned the shot on their own without formal instruction. A lot of situations where you are late to the ball, or you are trying to hit an extreme angle, just kind of force you to learn how to hit a running forehand.
The way I think of it is: I'm using my opponent's pace that's already on the ball. I don't have to hit through the ball quite as much. I'm redirecting it. I'm going low to high really fast to get that topspin to bring the ball up and down quickly. Often I hit this shot because I'm late to the ball, so my contact point is behind where it would be on a forehand drive. However I also hit a buggy whip forehand on putaway shots sometimes, where I can make contact a little earlier, but I still using that drastic low to high brushing action, which results in the so-called "reverse" finish.
I'm no expert, but to me the shot seems a little wristier than a normal forehand, I feel like I'm a little late to the ball, and I'm using a little more wrist action to control the ball and compensate.
Players like Nadal and Federer that have really good running forehands still try to contact the ball somewhat in front, and hit through it somewhat while also getting all that brushing action. A player like Sharapova, doesn't have quite as a good a running forehand because she often lets the ball get too far behind her. Then again her movement is an issue so that could be part of her problem.
If you try to contact the outside of that ball more you'll get that sidespin that hooks the ball back into the court.
I think it's a pretty simple shot. No need to make it too complicated.
Edit: Another great situation for this shot is when you're hitting a passing shot. If their approach has any pace on it, you can use the buggy whip forehand to bring the ball down quickly and put it at their feet, and also to hit a more extreme angle.

|This article does not cite any references or sources. (December 2009)
|It has been suggested that this article be merged into Castellan. (Discuss) Proposed since January 2015.
A castellany is a term denoting a district administered by a castellan.
Castellanies appeared during the Middle Ages and in most current states are now replaced by a more modern type of country subdivision. The word is derived from castle and literally means the extent of land and jurisdiction belonging to a given castle.
It also renders equivalent, often cognate, terms in other languages. Examples of French châtelainies include the castellanies of Ivry-la-Bataille, Nonancourt, Pacy, Vernon and Gaillon, all in Normandy, which under in the treaty of Issoudun (1195, after a war with king Richard of England) were acquired for the French crown by Philip Augustus. Examples from Poland include Leczyca and Sieradz (both once a duchy), Spycimierz, Rozprza, Wolbórz and Wojnicz (in Cracow diocese) and Otmuchow in Silesia.

Service 4wd light on new 2010 Sport
Picked up a new 2010 Sport with the 5 position transfer case tried shifting into 4 Auto and the service 4wd light came on, pulled over shut it off, started up tried it again and it worked, and for several more times it worked. I let the truck sit over night same thing the next day, any ideas?
I'm far from a pro, but in my personal experience, most of these warning light issues are simply sensors acting up or malfunctioning.
In the "good old days" when trucks came without all these sensors you would only be aware of trouble if there actually WAS a problem. If you are hearing a funny noise or feeling something, then there might be a real issue. Otherwise, I bet its some kind of sensor being overly "helpful". I had a sensor issue with my 2010 sport. Mechanically, my truck was perfect, but the "check engine" light was on and required some kind of sensor replacement.
I know thats not a very technical explanation, but hey, Im not a very technical guy!
I agree with Greg .... more than likely a sensor issue. We engineers tend to apply them like cheese on pizza ... you can never have too many ! :eek:
Could also be an actuator issue. Let the dealer fix it.
What he ^^^^ said. Get Thee To The Dealer.
Sounds like a trip to the dealership .
It's wierd, now that you said that. On friday I had a new 2009 ram with a Service 4WD light on. Ended up being the final drive control module. It had a trouble code for an internal fault. I replaced it under warranty.
Mine turned out to be the the drive train control module, it was replaced this past Tuesday and its worked every time hot or cold since, where as before it would never go in on the first attempt when it was cold but usually did when it was warmed up.
I wonder if this will be a common problem.
I have the same problem with my 2010 Laramie. I have an appt this Friday and will post the resolution. Hopefully it is just a sensor.

Stephen R. Crim
Welcome to our conference call to discuss our results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2008, which were issued after the market closed yesterday. In addition to those participating on this telephone conference, this conference call is being broadcast over the internet. With me in the room are Joe Scollo our Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, and Bill Tepe our Chief Financial Officer.
Before we begin, I would like to remind everyone that this conference call will contain forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially. For a description of some of the reasons that results may differ, please see our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 as filed with the SEC.
Now turning to the results for the fourth quarter, we experienced a net loss of $8.2 million, which included $6 million of realized losses from other than temporary impairment of investments. Gross premiums written in the quarter improved 8% over the same period last year, due primarily to increased writings in the Assumed Reinsurance Segment.
The results for the quarter also included reserve strengthening, reinsurance reinstatement premium, and a valuation allowance for reinsurance recoverables totaling $8 million. The reserve strengthening and reinsurance reinstatement premium stem from adverse claims development from New York environmental contractor business arising from accident years 2002 to 2006.
We began significantly reducing writings in the New York environmental contractor market in 2007 and have approximately $1.2 million of in force premium remaining, which will be non-renewed during the course of this year. At the end of 2008, we conducted an extensive claims review in combination with an actuarial analysis, including both our internal and independent actuaries.
At the end of 2008, we had $26 million of reserves related to New York environmental exposures, of which approximately 45% is IBNR. Based on our year end analysis, we believe these reserves to be sufficient to cover our ultimate liabilities on this line of business.
The valuation allowance was established as a result of increased credit risk with certain reinsures where the company has insufficient collateral to cover the ultimate projected losses. I'm disappointed in the fourth quarter results, which led to management's decision not to pay bonuses in 2008. We have discussed the fourth quarter results with A.M. Best and do not expect the net loss to impact our A rating.
Two thousand eight was a difficult year for both the insurance industry and American Safety Insurance. A significant amount of capital was depleted from the industry due to a combination of investment and catastrophe losses. While it appears that the industry remains adequately capitalized, the current environment necessitates a change in market conditions to stabilize insurer's balance sheets.
However, even if rates stabilize during 2009, we believe the economy will place downward pressure on our insured's revenues and on the overall demand for insurance leading to a reduction in premiums. As a result, I expect our 2009 gross premiums written to decline by approximately 10% to 15%, and our combined ratio to be in the range of 102% to 104%.
Despite the losses we experienced, our balance sheet remains strong and our book value per share remains at $21. The strong cash flow from operations has significantly increased our investment portfolio, which we expect to improve investment income this year even in the face of declining yields.
The diversified product platform that we've created over the past three years has resulted in more than one-third of our written premiums being generated from newer products last year, and sets the stage for more significant growth and improved profitability when market conditions improve.
I'll now turn the call over to Joe Scollo to provide you with an update on our insurance operations.
Joseph D. Scollo, Jr.
All comparisons are for the quarter ended December 31, 2008 to the same period in 2007, unless otherwise noted. Gross written premiums for the quarter increased by $4.1 million or 8%. Premium growth was attributable to a $5 million increase in writings in our Assumed Reinsurance Segment. Premiums from our newer product lines contributed 35% of our gross written premiums for the quarter and more than offset a 48% decline in our construction line.
For the 2008 year, construction line premiums represented 13% of our total gross written premiums versus 27% for the 2007 year. Market conditions remained very competitive in all of our lines during the quarter. Gross written premiums in our Excess and Surplus Line Segment declined 4% to $29.7 million driven by a $5.8 million decline in construction line premiums.
Our construction premiums have been impacted throughout the year by the slowing housing market, soft market pricing and our exercise of underwriting discipline in a very competitive market.

Fitch Rates Seattle, Washington's $133MM Limited Tax GOs 'AA+'.
Seattle's (the city) credit quality rests in its role as a regional economic and commercial center, its strong management practices, and low debt burden. Credit strength is challenged by the area's economic volatility and the property tax limitations of I-747. Currently, however, economic indications show recovery and I-747 is less problematic because inflation is low. Also, the city has responded effectively to preserve its financial strength, reducing spending to cope with the declining revenues and the strict property tax limitation. The city's year-end financial cushion remains sound, showing improvement in 2003 and 2004 following several years of operating losses. Seattle's credit quality is enhanced by its prudent and numerous fiscal policies and guidelines regarding reserve levels, pay-as-you-go capital spending, debt issuance, budget practices, and investments.
The Seattle area economy is recovering from its most severe downturn in over 20 years. The weakness follows nearly a decade of substantial growth, with this cyclicality characteristic of the area. Preliminary figures for 2004 suggest small job growth in the Seattle area, following a 5.4% loss from 2000-2003. Gains were led by tourism and other services, and construction showed its first gain since 1998. Prior years' declines were led by The Boeing Company and employment reductions and business failures in technology. The area's unemployment rate is improved significantly to an estimated 4.9% in 2004 from the 7.1% peak in 2003. City retail trade is expected to show its second consecutive gain in 2004, following two years of decreases. Wealth indicators are above average. Based on a positive regional economic forecast, the city projects economic recovery to increase in pace over the next few years. Fitch factors the city's economic volatility into the current ratings.
Seattle's financial position is strong and remained so despite the impact of measure I-747, a decline in sales and business and occupation taxes, and the end of the state-shared motor vehicle excise tax. Initially, these factors resulted in general fund operating deficits (2001 and 2002), but since then strong fiscal discipline along and economic recovery have reversed these results. The general fund balance rose to $118.8 million in 2003, a sound 16.3% of expenditures and transfers out. A small increase is expected for 2004 as well.
Even during the weak years, the 2002 fund balance remained high at $109.4 million, 15% of spending. The unreserved amounts also are above average at $42.2 million (5.3%) and $33.6 million (4.6%) in 2003 and 2002, respectively. The city has maintained its sound year-end position through spending reductions, hiring freezes, management's prudent response to mid-year revenue shortfalls, and a diverse revenue base that softened some of the economic-related declines. The city continued to demonstrate strong fiscal management in the current year's budget process. Continued fiscal prudence will be needed as the severe constraints of I-747 limit property tax growth to 1% annually. However, the city benefits from a diverse revenue base including sales, business, and real estate excise taxes.
Seattle's debt burden is low, largely the result of a significant pay-as-you-go capital program. By policy, the city's real estate excise tax and 10% of the business and occupation tax are used for capital purposes including debt service. The city issues unlimited tax debt as well as limited tax, with the former being voter approved and thereby exempt from the I-747 levy limits. Proceeds from this sale with fund various capital projects, provide for a litigation settlement, and refund existing debt.

President Francois Hollande considers Laurent Stefanini 'one of the best diplomats'
Pope Francis has reportedly refused to accept the nomination of the new French ambassador because he is gay.
Laurent Stefanini, a close aide of President François Hollande, was nominated in early January but the Vatican has yet to accept his credentials.
As envoys are normally accepted within six weeks, and as the Vatican does not explicitly refuse credentials, a prolonged silence is being taken as a rejection.
Judge says the politician is entitled to privacy as his private life was not widely known and he never intended to publicly reveal his sexual orientaton
A court in Paris on Wednesday ordered French gossip magazine Closer to pay €20,000 (US$24,400) in damages for 'invasion of privacy' for outing the far-right National Front party's Vice-President Florian Philippot as gay.
The magazine was also ordered to publish the court's verdict on its front page and pay Philippot €3,500 for his legal fees.
Earlier this month, the magazine published four pages of photographs taken in Vienna showing Philippot and an unnamed man whose face was blurred out and alledged to be his boyfriend.
Magazine editor defends the controversial move, which has sparked outrage across the political spectrum, saying it's in the public's interest
French tabloid Closer on Friday ran photographs of Florian Philippot, vice president of far right group Front National (FN), and his alleged boyfriend, an unnamed TV journalist, on a trip to Vienna last week.
A photograph of the pair – with the unnamed man's face has been blurred out – is seen on the front page next to the headline 'Yes to love for everyone' (Oui a l'amour pour tous), a play on words with the anti-same-sex marriage movement's slogan 'Demo for all' (Le Manif pour tous).
Former president of France is back, saying he 'detests' the way equal marriage was brought in by Francois Hollande's government

The former president of France has returned to politics, condemning several actions made by François Hollande's government.
The 59-year-old politician, currently on his third wife, said he 'detested' the way Hollande 'forced' through marriage equality.
'[The government is] humiliating families and humiliating people who love the family', he said, by introducing legislation allowing same-sex marriage.
French official offers no reason why President Francois Hollande will be absent from Sochi
France's Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius announced that neither he nor President Francois Hollande will attend the Sochi Olympics.

The foreign minister offered no reason for the decision.
Valérie Trierweiler used her partner François Hollande's state visit to discuss how constitutional rights are not translating to a better life for some LGBTI people
France's First Lady Valérie Trierweiler has met South African LGBT activists to discuss how daily life doesn't match the promise of the country's constitution.
She held the talks on Monday (14 October) while she and her partner, French President François Hollande, were in the country for a two-day state visit.
Inspiration for the new stamp in France is the leader of FEMEN, a feminist pro-gay group, who has spoken out against homophobia
France's bigots are boycotting the post over a new stamp as it was revealed to be inspired by a pro-gay feminist.
In every new presidential term, a design competition takes place where secondary school students choose three images that could become the new basic postage stamp. President François Hollande then chooses the winner.
When it was revealed the new stamp of Hollande's administration would be a cartoon style image of a beautiful woman holding up her hand called Marianne, the president praised it as an 'illustration of youth'.
Masked muscle men get into their trunks to storm the beach and demand freedom for an anti-gay activist
The world's most homoerotic anti-gay marriage protestors are at it again – getting down to their trunks to invade France and 'liberate' a fellow activist.
The young, masked, muscled men – Les Hommen – are at war with France's decision to legalize same-sex marriage.
And in a shambolic recreation of the D-Day landings, they storm their way onto the beach.
A 23-year-old was sentenced to four months in prison after protesting outside a television studio where President François Hollande was in an interview
The first person to be thrown in jail for protesting against equal marriage in France was sentenced to jail yesterday (20 June).
A Paris court sentenced Nicolas (no last name reported), 23, to four months in prison and given a fine of €1000 ($1.3k).
On Sunday (16 June), he participated in an anti-gay protest outside French television channel M6 studios where President François Hollande was being interviewed.
Provoking a nation already torn over gay marriage, the head of the Roman Catholic Church urges French politicians not to follow 'fashions of the moment'

Nut Allergies and Hair Products
Macadamia is a nut, so what about people with nut allergies and allergic reactions?
Ok, so I tried a new line of products and loved them, but I suddenly became concerned because of the Macadamia Nut ingredients, you see my two children have nut allergies and this is always a huge concern for me. So my research began, and this is what I found, I hope this helps bring some awareness.
Contrary to common belief, the Macadamia "nut" is actually a seed, not a nut at all. It belongs to the Proteaceae family, which are classified separately from most other tree nuts and from peanuts. Allergens are less common than in other tree nuts or peanuts. The oil from the Macadamia "nut" may cause a reaction the select few people with Macadamia-specific sensitizations, but even then it depends on the method of processing. The 17.4 dDa protein which is the primary allergen is only present in raw and roasted extracts.
They say they have done extensive allergy testing and the conclusion, based on this and the fact that there have been zero reports of any incidents, is that the Macadamia Natural Oil products do not cause allergic reactions even in those suffering from nut allergies. We do recommend, however, for those people who have nut allergies, to err on the side of caution and rub a small amount of the products on the skin to test. Usually on the inner forearm and it may take 24 hours to see any reaction. Be safe and always check out ingredients.

Publisher: Princeton University Press
This is an eTextbook Learn More
This book considers in unprecedented detail one of the most confounding questions in American racial practice: when to speak about people in racial terms. Viewing "race talk" through the lens of a California high school and district, Colormute draws on three years of ethnographic research on everyday race labeling in education. Based on the author's experiences as a teacher as well as an anthropologist, it discusses the role race plays in everyday and policy talk about such familiar topics as discipline, achievement, curriculum reform, and educational inequality.
Pollock illustrates the wide variations in the way speakers use race labels. Sometimes people use them without thinking twice; at other moments they avoid them at all costs or use them only in the description of particular situations. While a major concern of everyday race talk in schools is that racial descriptions will be inaccurate or inappropriate, Pollock demonstrates that anxiously suppressing race words (being what she terms "colormute") can also cause educators to reproduce the very racial inequities they abhor.
The book assists readers in cultivating a greater understanding of the pitfalls and possibilities of everyday race talk and clarifies previously murky discussions of "colorblindness." By bridging the gap between theory and practice, Colormute will be enormously helpful in fostering ongoing conversations about dismantling racial inequality in America.

India has 155 commercial banks, including 151 scheduled commercial banks, and 115,014 banking offices. Not counting scores of cooperative banks and ATMs that dot the nooks and corners in the country. Yet Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is promoting new kind of differentiated banks like payment banks or small banks. But do we really need them?
Experts say there is huge room for several kinds of banks to thrive as India is woefully short on banking infrastructure.
According to Crisil's financial inclusion index, called Inclusix, which covers three parameters of branch, deposit and credit penetration, the index is placed, on a scale of 100, at 40.1.
This means only 40% of the country is properly covered under the banking net.
"Under-penetration is evident in terms of number of ATMs and point of sales too. Hence, there is a need for much greater banking and credit penetration, going forward. This is because despite efforts to develop the corporate bond market, the Indian financial system remains bank-dominated with commercial banks accounting for over 60% of the financial sector assets," said H R Khan, deputy governor of RBI, at a banking conference, recently.
With a stated key objective of achieving financial inclusion, promoting deposit habit with banks among the poor appears to be what RBI is focusing on.
"Both payments banks and small banks are niche or differentiated banks; with the common objective of furthering financial inclusion. While small banks will provide a whole suite of basic banking products, such as deposits and supply of credit, but in a limited area of operation, payments banks will provide a limited range of products, such as, acceptance of demand deposits and remittances of funds," RBI said while announcing the differentiated bank concept last week.
In a stroke, the central bank has created opportunities for banking correspondents, telcos, super-market chains, companies and also real sector cooperatives to enter the banking system.
These entities have a deep penetration across the length and breath of the country, which will help achieve the most important feature of financial inclusion: deposit mobilisation.
"The financially excluded segment's highest requirement is for savings services, which unfortunately regular commercial banks are unable to provide. That is the reason we periodically have the 'Sarada' type of crisis which wipes out hard earned savings of the poor," Samit Ghosh of Ujjivan Financial Services and president of Micro Finance Institutions Network, told dna.
But to achieve that the banking sector needs human intervention where people would have to reach out to the un-banked in rural as well as urban areas.
And that human resources is available with the microfinance outfits, the likes of Bandhan or Ujjivan, or with business correspondents.
"Business correspondents can definitely play a bigger role in the evolving banking environment. We have the people resource to make the poor and the illiterate open bank accounts and bring in Rs 50,000 crore into the banking channel every year," said Kumar Saha, managing director of Senrysa Technologies Pvt Ltd, a business correspondent with IDBI Bank, told dna.
But to achieve greater and meaningful involvement of business correspondents, the players should be allowed to undertake multiple financial products beyond just opening accounts or facilitating transactions, activities which alone cannot sustain the sector, said Saha.
The new kind of banks would also help companies like Sahaj e-Village Ltd, which has meticulously created infrastructure in rural areas operating over 26,000 Common Services Centres across six states.
"The new banks may completely revolutionise the financial outlook in rural India. With strict screening procedures, small banks project would let serious players like Sahaj, having one of the largest IT connected rural networks, carry forth its benefits across the country. Though there are restrictions like disallowing account holders to hold more that Rs 1 lakh in their accounts, it is envisaged that this introduction would be largely beneficial," said Sanjay Panigrahi, CEO of Sahaj, a Srei group outfit. It would however help if these small banks are allowed to execute government disbursements and are given options to invest collected deposits in infra projects, highest rated bonds, rural housing and power, he said.

Disorganization of cytoplasmic Ca2+ oscillations and pulsatile insulin secretion in islets from ob/ob mice

- … show all 3 hide
Aims/hypothesis. In normal mouse islets, glucose induces synchronous cytoplasmic [Ca2+]i oscillations in beta cells and pulses of insulin secretion. We investigated whether this fine regulation of islet function is preserved in hyperglycaemic and hyperinsulinaemic ob/ob mice.
Methods. Intact islets from ob/ob mice and their lean littermates were used after overnight culture for measurement of [Ca2+]i and insulin secretion.
Results. We observed three types of [Ca2+]i responses during stimulation by 9 to 12 mmol/l of glucose: sustained increase, rapid oscillations and slow (or mixed) oscillations. They occurred in 8, 18 and 74% of lean islets and 9, 0 and 91% of ob/ob islets, respectively. Subtle desynchronisation of [Ca2+]i oscillations between regions occurred in 11% of lean islets. In ob/ob islets, desynchronisation was frequent (66–82% depending on conditions) and prominent: oscillations were out of phase in different regions because of distinct periods and shapes. Only small ob/ob islets were well synchronised, but sizes of synchronised lean and desynchronised ob/ob islets were markedly overlapped. The occurrence of desynchronisation in clusters of 5 to 50 islet cells from ob/ob mice and not from lean mice further indicates that islet hypertrophy is not the only causal factor. In both types of islets, synchronous [Ca2+]i oscillations were accompanied by oscillations of insulin secretion. In poorly synchronised ob/ob islets, secretion was irregular but followed the pattern of the global [Ca2+]i changes.
Conclusions/interpretation. The regularity of glucose-induced [Ca2+]i oscillations is disrupted in islets from ob/ob mice and this desynchronisation perturbs the pulsatility of insulin secretion. A similar mechanism could contribute to the irregularity of insulin oscillations in Type II (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus.
