Many homecare workers, union and non-union alike, may not be aware that current labor regulations are denying them the same federal minimum wage and overtime protections that other workers enjoy.
Now you have a chance to help change this. The U.S. Department of Labor is holding a "listening session" and asking for public input this week on whether it should revise its Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) regulations to finally include home care workers under its protections.
Chances are that many hired lobbyists are going to call in to protect their interests, but the Department of Labor really needs to hear from the more than 450,000 home care workers who have united with SEIU to strengthen both the quality of care they provide and the quality of their jobs. In state after state, we have united with consumer allies to improve the home care profession. Now we have a chance to do the same on a national level.
The sessions are being held on Monday, July 25 and Wednesday, July 27 from 4:00pm to 5:00pm EST. To participate, call (888) 730-9140 and enter the pass code 34478. If you decide to call in...
Here's what the Department of Labor needs to know:
We are proud of our profession and honored to care for our clients and consumers.
We depend upon this work to support our families. It is not a side job or a hobby.
We are our consumers hands, legs, and arms in many cases. We lift, we bathe, we dress, we prepare meals and we provide the daily services on which their lives and dignity depend.
This is hard work, it is crucially important work, and it is our profession.
We are not casual babysitters.
Thank you in advance for making your voice heard!
What is the Fair Labor Standards Act?
The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) is the 1938 US law that ensures workers receive the minimum wage and overtime pay. Unfortunately, home care workers do not enjoy these basic safeguards. In an ironic twist of fate, the very workers who care for seniors and people with disabilities are not protected by many of the most basic legal protections. Instead they are legally treated as if they were "casual" babysitters.
So, how in 2011 is it even legal for home care workers to be excluded from the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour?
Let's explore some history...
1938 - The FLSA is enacted to ensure a minimum standard of living for workers through the provision of minimum wages, overtime pay and other protections. Though there is only conjecture as to why, domestic workers were excluded.
1974 - The law was amended to include domestic employees, such as housekeepers, full-time nannies, chauffeurs, and cleaners. However people who were described as "companions to the elderly or infirm" were excluded from the law. Someone along the line explained this by arguing that all it did was exclude people who held jobs that were similar to "babysitters," who were also excluded.
1975 - The Department of Labor interprets this "companionship exemption" as including almost all direct-care workers in the home, no matter how demanding their jobs, no matter if the job is the worker's profession and career, no matter that the work was a part of an overall medical care system, and even where the home care workers were employed by third parties, such as home care agencies. Indeed, this was a cutback on the protections that had existed before 1974, since agency workers had been covered before the 1974 amendments.
2001 - The Clinton DOL finds that "significant changes in the home care industry" have occurred and issued a 'notice of proposed rulemaking" that would have made important changes to the exemption, bringing protections to many of these workers. The revision process was killed, unfortunately, by George W's incoming administration - whom most know by now were never friendly to labor.
2007 - The U.S. Supreme Court upholds the DOL's authority to define this exception to the FLSA through its regulations, and to make changes to those regulations.
Thus, since 2007, it has been clear that the DOL held the authority to update its regulations, narrowing this exception, which is the right thing for home care workers and the individuals and families who depend on their services.
The Department of Labor has stated that it is working on new regulations to narrow this "companionship services" exemption. Since 1974, a major home care industry and a rapidly growing home care occupation have developed that bear no relationship to "babysitting." We need to stress to the Department of Labor that it should bring basic minimum wage and overtime protections to this industry and this occupation.

Mississippi State football coach Dan Mullen pointed to lack of fundamental play a reason for the recent troubles of not winning a game.
The Bulldogs dropped their third game this season in Athens on Saturday to Georgia by the score of 24-10.
Despite a good defensive performance in the second half, MSU was unable to get its offense going and had a lot of what Mullen called "fundamental" mistakes that need to be addressed before the next game.
"We have some fundamental things we have to make sure we improve," said Mullen. "We're going to get all that fixed up, we're going to coach it and get our guys cleaned up and playing sharper and crisper and executing at a higher level. We're going to make sure we put our guys in the best position to win football games."
Putting his guys in position to win games seems to be the key to the Bulldogs success but Mullen has to make sure he's not putting too much on his young guys.
"We have to tweak and make sure that we are putting guys in a position to be successful," said Mullen. "We have to evaluate some of the younger guys that we're playing and we have to tweak around their strengths to make sure we're not asking them to do things they're not ready to do yet on the field."
Even though Mullen plans to do a lot of tweaking, he has no plans of changing what the team is fundamentally about.
A part of the MSU offense that has seemed to take the biggest beating so far this season is the offensive line. Due to numerous injuries, Mullen has been forced to try guys at different positions and switch them in the middle of the game at times. He is always looking for the right combination of players and after Saturday, he hasn't found the right combo that he was excited about before the injuries.
"We're going to continue to evaluate that," said Mullen. "Going into the season, we felt really good about our one offensive line. From day one we said, we put our ones out there on the field, we feel pretty good, but we get young really fast after that. We have to make sure we have the best five guys on the field and we are putting those five guys in position to do what they do well."
Finding those "best five guys" is changing every week as Mullen is still finding out what the players are capable of.
"It's still a learning curve for us," said Mullen. "A lot of these guys and a lot of their backups, this is their first time ever being on the field in game situations, so we're still learning what their strengths and weaknesses are in live game situations."
With the Bulldogs sitting at 2-3 overall and 0-3 in Southeastern Conference play, it would be easy for people to throw out hopes of another January 1 bowl game, but that's not the case with the third-year head coach.
"January 1 bowl game is still a goal," said Mullen. "If we win out, we're still going to go to a January 1 bowl game, I'd imagine. We were 8-4 last year and played in a January bowl game, so I'd imagine at 9-3 you still would and that's really the goal right now, what bowl game are we going to get to?"
MSU's original goal for this season and every season under Mullen is to win the SEC West, but realistically that goal is unachievable in 2011.
"If we win out, watching other teams play in the West right now, we would be a really long shot to making it to Atlanta," said Mullen. "It's hard to imagine some of the teams in the West losing three to four games."
The Bulldogs have several goals for the rest of the season including winning the rest of their games and of course making that Jan. 1 bowl game. Making it to a bowl game is key to Mullen as he uses it to gauge the success of the season.
"For the development of the program and for us to continue going, we have to get to a bowl game," said Mullen. "The higher the bowl game, the greater the reward, the greater the season it was."
The first team standing in front of State's new goals is UAB. The Blazers gave MSU a run for their money during homecoming last season, but the Bulldogs were able to pick up the 29-24 win. Despite UAB being 0-4, Mullen isn't going to take them lightly and he knows his players will do the same.
"We played them last year, so I know just how good of a football team they are," said Mullen. "After our game with them last year, there's not a whole lot we have to preach to our kids about what type of team they are. That's a benefit of having played them last year, is our kids know what to expect."

Polycrystalline Solar Panels Prices
Difference of Polycrystalline Solar Panels
Polycrystalline Solar Panels can be easily identified by the coloring of the panels. A crazing paving like structure is visible with uneven color tones, this is caused by the multiple mis-shaped silicon crystals.
Of the main types of solar panels, polycrystalline solar panels are less efficient than other types, such as monocrystalline and amorphous solar panels, however recent developments in solar panel engineering are making these differences negligible. Each solar cell within a polycrystalline solar panel is comprised of multiple silicon crystals, hence the name. The gaps between the silicon crystals leads to a small amount of wasted space where the solar radiation cannot be absorbed by the crystals, and is instead converted into heat energy rather than electrical energy. This also means that during periods of partial shade some crystals can completely stop producing electricity, something which does not happen in other types of solar panel. This loss of power generation may be problematic if the panels are partially shaded during the day. These solar panels also have a lower efficiency at high temperatures when compared with other types of solar panel, although the loss only becomes noticeable at temperatures above 120 Fahrenheit.
Cost of Polycrstalline panels
These drawbacks however are reflected in the price, as polycrystalline solar panels are usually much less expensive than monocrystalline and amorphous panels, this is in part due to the ease of manufacturing the crystals, but also due to the large scale production of the polycrystalline silicon needed to grow the crystals. The difference in cost for the unit greatly outweighs the small loss in efficiency. Pricing for Polycrystalline panels average around - per Watt as of 2011. although this is expected to slowly fall as demand increases. Polycrystalline panels have the same average lifetime as monocrystalline panels at 25 years which is also the standard warranty period, however the panels should continue to produce power for 50 year although at a lower capacity.
Future growth potential
The low cost of polycrystalline solar panels, coupled with their minimal drawbacks versus monocrystalline and amorphous solar panels has lead to their widespread use amongst small scale solar power generation projects, in homes, schools and small businesses. The cost however has not yet reduced to the point where it is dominant in large scale generation projects. However Industry and government subsidies are expected to reduce the costs even further over the next decade.

Asus F70Sl
SpecificationsNotebook: Asus F70Sl
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo T5900
Graphics Adapter: NVIDIA GeForce 9300M GS 512 MB

Reviews for the Asus F70Sl
Multimedia in 17.3 inches. The 17.3 inch Asus F70SL tries to appeal to the broad mass of final consumers in a metaphorical fancy dress. Apart from this, it aligns itself in the starter multimedia range with an Nvidia Geforce 9300M GS and tries to score with its multimedia features and a high resolution. Read here, about how the notebook has complied with our test criteria.
Source: Pocket Lint
It's a shame we can't wholeheartedly recommend the F70 due to its keyboard layout and design, as it was rather uncomfortable to use. It wasn't a minor niggle on our behalf or as a comparison to the usual laptops we use. We do test 100s of notebooks, netbooks and their ilk - this was the first we've ever taken an issue with on that very subject. The F70 does curiously have a similar depth of their W90 £2,399 monster that we reviewed recently. The casing is certainly a factor in its bulky overall build, we are very much struggling to work out why a similar chassis was used as it does take away a certain quality in what could have been a good notebook.
50, Ergonomie 40
Single Review, online available, Medium, Date: 05/11/2009
Rating: Total score: 50% ergonomy: 40%
NVIDIA GeForce 9300M GS: Compared to the 9300M G, the GS has only 8 unified shaders but a higher clock rate. Therefore, the performance should be similar according to Nvidia. Supports
Hybrid-SLI (GeForceBoost and HybridPower) with Nvidia 9100M G and PureVideo HD (VP3).
Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.
» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.
Intel Core 2 Duo: This is the Core Duo and Core Solo successor with a longer pipeline and 5-20% more speed without more power consumption. As an addition to the Core Duo design there exists a fourth decoder, an amplified SSE-unit and an additional arithmetical logical unit (ALU).
The Core 2 Duo for laptops is identical to the desktop Core 2 Duo processors but the notebook-processors work with lower voltages (0.95 to 1188 Volt) and a lower Frontside bus clock (1066 vs 667 MHz). The performance of equally clocked notebooks is 20-25% lower than Desktop PCs because of the lower Frontside bus clock and the slower hard disks.
T5900: Merom based Core 2 Duo that was later succeeded by the similar specified and Penryn based T6600.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.
17.3": Meanwhile the 17 inch display size is a more frequently offered standard format for desktop-replacements. The DTR-laptops can't be carried easily, need much energy but on the other side texts can be read easily and high resolutions are no problem. DTR mainly are intended for stationary usage on desks, where the weight and the energy need are unimportant.
» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.
3.847 kg: This laptop is heavy below average, compared with the average of notebooks. Therefore especially desktop replacements fit in this class of weight.
Asus: ASUSTeK Computer Incorporated, a Taiwanese multinational company, produces motherboards, graphics cards, optical drives, PDAs, computer monitors, notebook computers, servers, networking products, mobile phones, computer cases, computer components, and computer cooling systems. The company's 2007 revenues reached US$6.9 billion. ASUS also produces components for other manufacturers. The Eee PC initiated the netbook boom in 2008.

Making An Early Retirement Work
Some people are so obsessed with their work that they can never envision chucking everything to begin a life of leisure, while others have spent most of their work lives counting the days until they no longer have to clock in. If you opt to jump the gun and call it a career before you hit your golden years, you're taking a calculated risk, hoping to make your savings stretch out longer rather than spending more time to build it up before you take the plunge.

Out-Of-Work Adults Try To Nab Summer Lifeguard Positions
Some adults who are out of work are now going after classic teen jobs, says ABC News. In Florida, which has the fourth-highest unemployment rate of the nation, men in their 30s and 40s "have pulled on swim trunks in hopes of beating out the teenagers for a few choice positions as $9.37 an hour lifeguards." The report also says adults are trying out for jobs at places like Six Flags.

Nintendo's patent for its Wii U reveals it will still have an interesting use for the old Wiimote.
The design schematic filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for its upcoming Wii U console shows that it will use the Wiimote from the current Wii system as a three dimensional mouse to click and drag on certain objects between the WiiPad and your television.
The patent describes this technology with a UFO displayed on the television as an example. The player uses the Wiimote to grab the object and take it away from an enemy, presumably some large UFO mothership with its own Wiimote on the other side of the TV. Once the player wrestles the "UFO" out of the enemy's grasp, they can grab it and drag it to their WiiPad with the same Wiimote.

Shoppers switch to local butchers over horse meat scandal
Last updated at 13:10, Monday, 25 February 2013
West Cumbrian butchers have seen sales rise as shoppers turn their backs on supermarket ready meals because of the horse meat scandal.
Demand for mince and stewing beef has increased and the demand for assured, quality Cumbrian beef has never been higher, says the National Farmers' Union.
Sam Peel, manager of Marshall's Butchers in Corporation Road, Workington, said that sales had increased overall by 25 per cent in two weeks. Beef and steak mince were the main sellers.
He said: "More people are not going to supermarkets. People can trust a butcher and can't trust supermarkets, which is the feedback we have got from customers."
Malcolm Huddart, manager of Pioneer Food Hall in Harrington, estimated that overall sales were up 25 to 30 per cent in the last week.
He said: "People don't like the idea of being ripped off or being conned whether intentionally or unintentionally."
Mark Lindsay, owner of W Lindsay & Son in Station Street, Cockermouth, said: "Sales have gone right up. I think the bad publicity in the press has made people think twice about buying from supermarkets."
David Pearson, joint managing director of Haigh's Butchers in Pow Street, Workington, said: "We've had an increased footfall through both our stores since the scandal hit.
"People are turning their backs on supermarkets in favour of butchers because of the trust that comes with them. I think supermarkets will also suffer from this because they have long supply lines.
"All of our ready meals are made using the same quality local meat, which we sell in the shop."
Peter Walsh, owner of PD Walsh, Crosby Street, Maryport, said his sales of mince, stew and burgers had increased and people were buying other meat while in the shop.
John Nicholson, who owns the Senhouse Street butchers in Maryport, said: "We've had quite a few customers come in who would normally go to supermarkets but they don't quite know what to do here."
Peter Wilson, owner of P Wilson Butchers on Market Place, Cockermouth, said: "I have seen a little increase in business and it is certainly down to the horse meat scandal.
"If I was found selling something like that I would be closed down right away but nobody has been punished for this.
"The price of meat isn't cheap and it is such a price that it has got to be kept properly but anybody dealing with proper local butchers should not have any problem."
Andrew Wright, operations manager at Mitchells Lakeland Livestock Centre in Cockermouth, said that the price of cattle had gone up but it was hard to say whether it was due to lack of supply or the scandal.
He said: "Speaking to a few people in the trade they said they are looking to get their meat a bit closer to home to have that security of a supply.
"We support the rigorous checks that are being brought in. We want to support local business and the local industry and we hope people will start to buy a bit nearer to home."
Bosses at the West Cumberland Hospital in Whitehaven and Carlisle's Cumberland Infirmary said patients had not been inadvertently served with meals which may contain horse meat and education chiefs said they used the local firm Pioneer, which has confirmed that its suppliers have no links with those which are implicated as sources of horse meat wrongly labelled as beef.

Aztecs spoil opening of Fowler Park
With San Diego State's Tyler France at the plate in the first inning, Rogan yelled for everyone to hear, "This isn't high school, Tyler. It's not a batting cage. It's not a pitching machine. It's the real thing. You didn't sign up for this."
And after France grounded out to first, Rogan added, "That's a high school swing."
Ron Fowler, who donated more than half of the $13.8 million to build the park, was moved by the evening's events. He tossed out the first pitch, a nice changeup that dropped on the plate.
"I was blown away (by the facility)," he said. "It turned out far better than I ever imagined."
He took in a variety of views, from the USD dugout, from the concourse deck to the suites.
"Actually, being an old beer guy," said Fowler, "I sort of like hanging on the rail over there. You put your foot up, put your arm on the rail and have a hot dog or your favorite beverage."

Beyond the Call of Duty
Dr. Marie Egan, winner of the
Connecticut Chapter's 2011 Breath of
Life Award.
From black-tie galas to board meetings, Great Strides walks to bike rides, Dr. Marie Egan does all she can to fight cystic fibrosis. Her kindness and concern for her patients extend well beyond her duties as a physician and director of the CF center at Yale-New Haven Hospital.
Egan's outstanding efforts were recently recognized by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation's Connecticut Chapter, which awarded her the Foundation's highest honor — the Breath of Life Award.
"Dr. Egan is known to her patients not only as a great doctor, but a hero, too," said Preston W. Campbell, III, M.D., executive vice president for medical affairs at the CF Foundation. "We're proud to have her on our team as a leader in the fight against cystic fibrosis."
Balancing Act: Teacher, Clinician and Researcher
Dr. Egan's commitment to finding a cure for CF began more than 20 years ago when she volunteered at a children's hospital as an undergraduate. "I spent a lot of time doing play therapy with patients, and the children with CF really stood out to me."
Working with CF patients during her pediatric residency at Johns Hopkins in the late '80s, she became curious about the scientific answers to the health problems experienced by people with CF.
A fellowship funded by the Foundation, which allowed Dr. Egan to study chloride channels in CF cells, was an important first step in her journey to understand the science behind cystic fibrosis. "As a medical doctor, I also wanted to do research that could help my patients," she says. "The fellowship allowed me to hone my skills as a CF scientist and a clinician."
Today, Dr. Egan is still searching for answers to the problems that underlie cystic fibrosis. In her lab at Yale, she conducts research geared toward understanding the basic defect in CF, and is most excited about what's to come in CF treatments that target the defective protein that causes CF. "It will be wonderful to see how drugs that treat the basic defect in CF will impact people with this disease," she says. "It's an exciting time."
Along with her duties in the lab and clinic, Dr. Egan teaches a physiology course to first-year medical students at Yale University where she is an Associate Professor of Pediatrics and of Cellular and Molecular Physiology. Dr. Egan also serves as a mentor to several aspiring researchers and physicians interested in cystic fibrosis.
As director of sweat testing and newborn screening at the Yale CF Center, Dr. Egan interacts with many newly diagnosed patients and their families. When she began her career in CF care and research more than 20 years ago, the message she gave to families was very different. "Many children with CF weren't expected to grow up and transition into healthy adults," she says. "Now, we're much more proactive with care, and we expect children with CF to live longer, healthier lives."
When asked what she's most proud of in her career, her thoughts turn to all those she's cared for over the years. "I am really proud and excited that the kids I've treated have grown up to be well-functioning adults who manage their own health," says Dr. Egan.
Committed to the Cause
Dr. Egan's impact on the CF community is felt beyond the halls of Yale University. She serves on the CF Foundation Connecticut Chapter's board, and brings as many people as she can to Foundation events like Great Strides, CF Cycle for Life and the annual 65 Roses Summer Soiree. She admits her passion for fundraising gets the better of her at times: "I bid on every auction item I can at Foundation events to drive up prices," she laughs. "Anything the Foundation needs from me, I'm happy to do."
Dr. Egan hopes that all of her hard work in the research lab, at the CF care center and volunteering for the CF Foundation will pay off in the future. "I imagine that the progress being made today will continue at an accelerated pace, making CF an almost unrecognizable disease 10-15 years from now," she says. "Ultimately, I hope for a cure."

Nokia Files Second Lawsuit Against Apple
Article Comments 36
May 7, 2010, 9:28 AM by Eric M. Zeman @phonescooper
updated May 7, 2010, 10:08 AM
Nokia has filed a second lawsuit against Apple, this time alleging that the iPhone and iPad 3G infringe on five patents that belong to Nokia. The patents in question relate to speech and data transmission, as well as how location information can be used within applications, and antenna design. Apple has not responded. Nokia sued Apple in late 2009 over wireless patents, and Apple countersued Nokia. Neither of the previous cases has been resolved, though the U.S. International Trade Commission has agreed to investigate Apple's claims against Nokia.
This forum is closed.

As the 2012 U.S. presidential election draws near, the rhetoric is ramping up — and politicians aren't the only ones dishing hyperbolic rhetoric.
On Friday, in an interview with Fox News' Sean Hannity, billionaire Home Depot co-founder Bernie Marcus said that a second term for President Obama would bring "despair." Marcus, whose net worth we estimated at $2.3 billion in March, has a long history of incendiary political statements — including calling Occupy Wall Street protesters "imbeciles."
Here's the clip and transcript from Fox News:
Hannity: If Barack Obama is re-elected, what do you see in your crystal ball?
Marcus: Despair. I speak to business people all the time, and I'm not talking about [CEO Jeff] Immelt from GE. He's in a different world, he's making a lot of money overseas. I'm talking about people who make their livelihood here, small business people that don't have lobbyist in Washington. They are disheartened, they are uncertain about the future.
They are certain about one thing: that if he's elected, that taxes will go up. They know that the cost of health insurance is going to go up, if Obamacare stays, they're going to get killed with Obamacare. They know that the regulations are going to be there. And NLRB — there isn't a firm out there that's not going to be unionized. And if every firm is unionized, the free market is finished in the United States. We're going to end up like Spain and Greece, and the U.K. and Germany and everybody else.
"Despair" may be quite the strong pronouncement, but Marcus has been known for his harsh criticisms of Obama and Democrats in recent years. While not a social conservative (he has voiced support for abortion, gun control, and stem cell research in the past), the Home Depot co-founder and former CEO is outspoken on economic issues. He helped launch the Jobs Creators Alliance, a Dallas-based nonprofit of entrepreneurs with the mission to "defend and preserve the system of free enterprise in the United States."
Back in 2008, Marcus reacted strongly to "Card Check" legislation that would have made it easier for workers to form a union. He said, "This is the demise of a civilization. This is how a civilization disappears. I'm sitting here as an elder statesman, and I'm watching this happen, and I don't believe it."
In 2010, Marcus told CNBC that the treasury secretary needed to be put through a reality show in which he learned how difficult it is to deal with regulations at every level of government. The analogy was less than wholesome:
"My solution is that you take a guy like Timothy Geithner and put him in a new reality show. It's called 'Timothy Geithner Does Small Business', something like [the porn movie] 'Debbie Does Dallas', and it ends up the same way," said Marcus. "Basically, what they're doing to small business is very similar in this case [to what 'Debbie' did to Dallas.]"
In September 2011, he called the Obama administration "amateurs surrounded by amateurs."
And in December of last year, Marcus said that successful business people who don't defend themselves against Occupy Wall Street "deserve what they're going to get." He also noted that he wasn't worried about becoming a target of those protesters. "Who gives a crap about some imbecile?" Marcus said at the time.

Lotherton Hall improvements set for go-ahead
Caption: Lotherton Hall set for range of improvements
Plans to make improvements to Lotherton Hall and its surrounding estate this summer are to be discussed by senior councillors in Leeds next week.
At the meeting of the executive board at Civic Hall on Wednesday 27 July, councillors will be asked to approve investing £160,000 in a range of improvements to the estate and also a new pricing structure to be introduced from 1 October.
The first phase of a wide-ranging plan to greatly enhance the visitor experience at the Edwardian country house and grounds in Aberford near Leeds will see improvements to the gardens, doubling the amount of estate to be open to the public, improved car parking and a widened entrance road to allow for traffic to enter and exit the estate the same way.
Under the plans, the majority of which would be completed before 1 October, the hall would also switch to being open on Mondays as well as in January and February when it is currently closed with events being held all-year round.
The current parking system would be revamped to make the house and estate more accessible as well as safer for children using the play area. The area of the estate currently open to the public would be doubled, with restoration work carried out on the Edwardian gardens, the Japanese rockery and the walled gardens while themed walks for visitors would be introduced and improved picnic and play areas. In addition, the impressive collection of coaches and horse-drawn carriages will also be more prominently on display.
The current exit system would be relocated, with the current entrance road being widened to allow for two-way traffic flow which means when leaving visitors would no longer be passing the children's play area and other pedestrians making the site safer overall.
Improved signage, navigation and interpretation would be introduced throughout the estate, while drainage issues would also be resolved.
Customer service improvements would see a new pay and information point introduced, managing the new simplified pay structure which means visitors would only pay once to access all of the facilities as well as car parking. Season-tickets would remain for regular users offering access for a 12-month period.
Leeds City Council executive member for leisure Councillor Adam Ogilvie said:
"We are confident these plans would make a real difference to Lotherton Hall being seen as a fantastic full day out by visitors who would be keen to tour the house, the bird garden and the grounds in the same visit.
"We have listened to what people have told us so far and that two-way communication continues as the end result is that we all want Lotherton Hall to be one of the leading visitor attractions in the region and we are striving hard to make that happen."
Public consultation has been carried out and continues with visitors, local councillors, season-ticket holders, parish councils and other community groups able to give their views. Drop-in sessions have taken place as well as having display boards and comment cards at the hall, information in libraries and one-stop centres as well as on the Lotherton Hall website www.leeds.gov.uk/lothertonhall/ in addition to the council's museums and galleries website at www.leeds.gov.uk/museumsandgalleries/
Research has also been carried out to ensure the new pricing structure compares favourably with other similar attractions in the region, with anyone attending organised events such as weddings, conferences or meetings not having to pay any entrance charge.
The initial £160,000 investment by the council for phase one will be returned from a projected rise in the income generated by increased numbers of visitors from the current figure of approximately 400,000 per year due to the improved visitor experience.
Further possible future improvements have also been discussed, such as the historic courtyard houses being open to the public as period rooms, and the development of the courtyard area to create conference and banqueting facilities as well as a new shop. Continued restoration of the Edwardian gardens, a potential new learning area and the possibility of a semi-permanent marquee to host weddings and civil ceremonies are also all possible options for the future.

Degree of major Euro success for five-star swimmer Claire
Caption: City of Leeds swimmer Claire Cashmore (image courtesy of City of Leeds Swimming Club)
City of Leeds swimming star Claire Cashmore is on the crest of a wave after claiming five medals and helping break two records at the recent IPC European Championships in Berlin.
The 23-year-old Great Britain international enjoyed a stunning week of success in Germany, winning two gold medals, a silver and two bronze, as well as setting an individual British record and breaking world and European records in the medley team relay events.
The Kidderminster swimmer's personal achievements were further boosted as during the event she discovered she had secured a 2:1 in her linguistics and phonetics degree at the University of Leeds.
While completing her degree Claire has lived in Leeds for the last three years, training as part of the City of Leeds squad at the Aquatics Centre at the John Charles Centre for Sport.
Her first medal in Berlin came from being part of the 4 x 100metre freestyle relay team which set a new European record in winning gold. A silver medal and British record followed in the individual 100m breaststroke events, before claiming bronze in both the 100m butterfly and 200m individual medley.
Her week of success concluded in style with a gold medal and new world record in the 4 x 100m medley relay event, before things got even better when Claire discovered her degree result.
Great Britain and City of Leeds swimmer Claire Cashmore said:
"I'm really happy with my swims at the European Championships and it shows I am in great shape a year before London 2012. Finding out about my degree result too means it has been a very good few weeks for me.
"This year has been really tough trying to juggle third year of university and swimming so to have the medals in my pocket is a great feeling. The Europeans were a stepping stone for the Paralympics so it is very exciting and a bit scary to think the next major event will be at London 2012!
"Next year being the Paralympic Games I want to do everything possible to ensure I that I am in the best shape of my life."
The City of Leeds Swimming Club is supported by Leeds City Council's Swimming Training Scheme, and senior age group coach Richard Denigan said:
"Major congratulations to Claire for her tremendous success in Berlin. Together with her degree result it was a great week so all credit to her for being so focused and dedicated in doing her best in both aspects of her life. Claire is an inspiration to all of her teammates, she leads by example each day at training and encourages them to make the right choices so they can succeed. Her contribution to the City of Leeds swimming team goes beyond her own success in the pool, as Claire motivates and offers advice to our younger athletes.
"With the support of Leeds City Council, City of Leeds Swimming Club and the coaching staff we have at Leeds, Claire will hopefully have the best opportunity to continue her successes this year and on to London 2012 - it is a really exciting time for her and the team."

Days passed on the wide prairie, the Sun pounded the tall grasses while overhead a lone cloud barely shaded a distant clutch of cottonwoods, presently the woman emerged from among the trees.

Water tossed by her steady movements, soaking either side of her long skirt, but gradually she made her way up the slope toward the solitary wagon.

Leading NYC gay nightlife promoter/producer and internationally published author Justin Luke Zirilli has assembled a crack team of six gorgeous gays to create a brand new mind-blowing blog experience. Just think of this as Charlie's Angels. But gayer.
Tuesday, February 7, 2012
You Know You Were a Teen Gay in the Late Nineties When...
You gaybies have it so EASY these days. We used to have to walk uphill, both ways, to the gay bar to get laid. Now you turn on your fancy pants iPhones and GRIND your date. It's like Seamless Web food delivery, but for booty!
Yes, luckily us slightly-olds can also take advantage of these wondrous things... but, still... sit a spell and see how different shit was for those of us who grew up gay in the late 90s/early 00s.
If you don't understand a single thing in this list, consider yourself lucky... you were spared a lot of ridiculousness.

Sensei: Journey Assistance Program
The meaning of Senseiship (or Sifuship) is an interesting riddle encountered along our martial arts journey. Our presumptions about being a Sensei are generally a combination of what we see from our own instructors, ideas borrowed from books and movies, and what personal convictions we bring into the dojo with us.
It's extremely difficult to sum-up what a Sensei "is", and attempts often lead to a list of things Sensei should or shouldn't be. Some examples are obvious (no sexual predators) and some not so obvious (philosophical leader?).
Bill Hayes Kyoshi once talked about how Eizo Shimabukuro saw himself in such a role, and suggested that Senseiship is equivalent to being the leader of a "Journey Assistance Program". The journey of course being the martial path each student chooses to follow; guiding them each toward the truest meaning of their art.
The trouble with this method is ambiguity. Each step along the path is not dictated, nor is it planned out in a convenient spreadsheet. Assisting every student means deep assessment of their needs, strengths, weaknesses, and potential.
The concept of assisting each student individually clashes with the limitations of operating a large school. It also clashes with the western expectation for continuity and equality among all students. Any instructor who has taught kids will attest to the adolescent jealousy that can arise among children (and parents).
Adult students can be even tougher as they have spent years building their sense of self and can easily become intolerant of course corrections that impinge upon their ingrained perceptions.
Looking Inward to Assist Outward
Hayes Kyoshi went on to mention that the only way you can truly light the path for others is if you actually understand how you got to where you are.
Deep self analysis and introspection provides you with the ability to see similar characteristics in others or a launching point to determine how others are different. By knowing what you've done right (and what you've done embarrassingly wrong) you can steer students toward a better path. This tends to go far beyond correcting the angle of a down block, although it certainly starts there.
There are many outstanding martial artists who are utterly brilliant and can compete at a championship level. Those people are not automatically Sensei. In fact, artists with an abundance of natural talent can get by with little introspection at all. On the other hand, an artist who has to grind and focus on every detail can in turn see others with a knowing eye.
Do you see how a Sensei need not be a champion as long as they are effective with an earned amount of wisdom?
Do you also see how an individual who happens to be brilliant, hard working, and introspective may become a masterful Sensei?
If this post makes it seem like becoming a great Sensei is difficult, then I have transmitted the idea as I had hoped. It also helps explain why I prefer to be called Mattsan and why I am honored when someone chooses to call me Sensei (and also why I never allow any grand titles beyond that to be used in my proximity).
A Sensei's journey is constantly inward, but not for self indulgence. It is to better understand everyone and everything outside the body and mind. If the Sensei is lucky, he/she has students to help guide, and in the act can come to better understand him/herself.

Review: Inside Bassai Dai
As long time readers here know, I have a great passion and interest in Bunkai. Bunkai is the application and inspection of meaning in kata, and to me it is as integral as the movements themselves.
Recently I got a chance to watch a new work by Charlie Wildish and Keith McKay Cormack entitled "Inside Bassai Dai".
Wildish operates the blog Bunkai Jutsu and decided to create a DVD entailing his breakdown of the kata Bassai Dai. In the video Wildish is joined by his friend and 'partner in crime' Keith McKay Cormack. The interesting thing about this duo is the diverse backgrounds they bring together, Wildish a Sandan in Shotokan Karate and Cormack a student of Choy Li Fut Kung Fu.
The video is staged in front of an unadorned yet attractive stone wall, which seems to set the mood of the entire video. Wildish and Cormack are friendly and down to Earth in their explanations, yet stay very focused on the task at hand, wasting little time in frivolity.
Wildish begins by demonstrating the kata from multiple angles, then breaking down each segment into possible explanations. Following Wildish is Cormack who demonstrates how the idea of the technique appears in his Chinese background, and how he might approach bunkai from a Kung Fu perspective. It is enjoyable to actively see the similarities and differences played out.
This video is unpretentious, straight forward, and focused on content instead of flashiness. As such I feel it does justice to the spirit of Karate.
As a bonus I was also able to check out Wildish's "10 Kicking Tips", which guides the viewer not through specific kicks, but through some of the basic physics and ideas that make kicking effective. This DVD was also an enjoyable watch, especially as Wildish described ways in which kicks can be thrown in a true straight line.
All in all I would recommend these resources to individuals who either study Bassai Dai or are looking to enhance their overall understanding of Bunkai. The procedures used in these DVDs are sound fundamentally and can be relied upon to elicit positive results.

Ensnaring Tactics with the Nunti
I'd like to share a video exploring the basic ensnaring tactics of the nunti. Within Okinawan kobudo the nunti (or nunte) is a lesser known weapon, but extremely effective. It was the best alternative to a classic spear (which would have raised eyebrows under the weapons bans) and had the added benefits of two manji yoko, which I will explain in the video.
Check out some manipulations that you can use against both long and short range weapons:
You'll notice in the video that I emphasize the dual functionality of both lethal attacks and non-lethal controls. The length of the weapon would have kept kobudoka (especially peacekeepers) far away from the dangerous hands and weapons of troublemakers while allowing them to increase control and damage according to their need.
Along with combat effectiveness the nunti comes with relatively heavy weight, which means it cannot be spun or swung with the same quickness as a bo. Because of that, the initial action with the nunti is critical.
A short range weapon like a knife can be brutal once the maai (distance) is closed, which is why my first movements in the video either break the hand or at least damage and numb the arm enough to render it momentarily useless. A proper initial movement with skilled control of distance and timing can allow for control in subsequent moves.

YIELD: Makes 6 servings
For pork:
Mix first 8 ingredients in a large bowl. Add pork and toss to coat. Cover and chill, tossing occasionally, at least 8 hours or overnight.
Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large heavy pot over medium-high heat. Working in batches, brown pork on all sides, lowering heat if meat begins to scorch, about 5 minutes per batch. Using tongs, transfer pork to a medium bowl. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil and onions to pot; sauté until slightly softened and golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add wine; cook, scraping up browned bits, until reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Add broth; return pork to pot.
Reduce heat to low, cover pot, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until pork is tender, about 2 hours. Reserve 3/4 cup braising liquid for radicchio. Set pork in remaining liquid aside. DO AHEAD: Can be made 2 days ahead. Chill pork and reserved 3/4 cup braising liquid separately (uncovered) until cold, then cover and keep chilled. Rewarm before serving.
For radicchio and salad:
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, add radicchio and sauté on each cut side, adding more oil to pan between batches if needed, until browned, 2-3 minutes per side; transfer radicchio to a plate. Place all cooked radicchio back in skillet and add reserved pork-braising liquid. Cover and cook until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons vinegar; bring to a simmer and cook, uncovered, until juices have thickened, about 1 minute. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Toss arugula, remaining 3 tablespoons oil, and lemon juice in a large bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Divide pork with juices among plates. Arrange radicchio alongside. Divide arugula salad among plates. Drizzle radicchio with oil and a small amount of vinegar.

Wow - 204! Good move - happy holidays!!!
Thanks dude! Happy holidays to you and your family.
Great intensity. Looks like some really tough all out efforts judging by those HR peaks.
thanks for your support! This was savate boxing, and all these peaks correspond to 2 mins rounds. As savate rounds are shorter than regular boxing rounds, they tend to get more intensive. In this case, some of my opponents were super-tough guys (I almost got knocked at one point but fortunately was able to get back in the game).
WOW!!! That's a move!!! :D
Thanks for your support!

|False Justice In Adams County, Colorado
|Outlawed: Private Property Rights & Gun Rights
conditions that stressed our family from the middle of 2005 onward. What I will tell
you is that two members of our immediate family nearly died and suffered long term
love and support of our local community and my coworkers I believe our family would
have disintegrated. Instead, we have grown stronger and closer.
eldest daughter was obviously suffering in silence and eventually the strain on her was
too much. In late 2006, approximately November, she attacked me in the house,
kicking, hitting, screaming and I did not bother to protect myself, I simply walked out
of the house and went for a car ride to think about the correct course of action. When I
returned from my drive, 45 to 60 minutes later, a Sheriff's Deputy was at our home:
My eldest daughter had called the Police and told them I attacked her. While I was not
uncooperative, I certainly was not in any mood for this new game. I told the Deputy my
daughter was not telling the truth and that I was attacked. The Deputy filed a report,
called Social Services and we began the process of Social Services coming out to
interview our children.
in private. While we allowed that for our older children, who were still minors at the
time, we refused to allow that process for our younger two children. At that point the
Social Services Case Worker started issuing threats to both my wife and I. However, we
refused to back down and eventually the case worker interviewed our two youngest
while we were in the room. It turned out to be a good thing we demanded to be
present as the case worker routinely "misinterpreted" what our children were saying.
By working through the process and occasionally interjecting to force the case worker
to re-ask the question we think a fair interview was completed. However, it was clear
to us that our two youngest were traumatized by this process.
barn while sitting on a loose pile of hay (Dangerous in more than one respect). She
lectured our daughter and then gave her some floor scrubbing chores to help the
message sink in. Our eldest daughter proceeded to call the Sheriff again.
Unfortunately for her, the Deputy who arrived was a parent and immediately saw
straight through her lies. This Deputy, upon learning about her earlier allegations
against me took the time to interview my son. My son laid the facts out honestly; My
Dad did NOT attack my sister, My sister attacked my Dad. This Deputy then filed a new
police report with truth from my son and soon afterwards Social Services backed off
and closed their investigation into our oldest daughters original complaints.
school one morning and never came home. We did some investigating (We were
worried but she had been threatening to leave for over a year at this point) and we
discovered that she had moved in with the family of one of her school friends. Her
school grades plunged, her school attendance was pathetic but at this point there was
very little we could do for her. At some point she left Colorado and moved to either
Washington State or Oregon.
putting our three remaining minor in children with adults that we knew and believed to
be dangerous (One of these adults had threatened to kill my oldest daughter while she
was still an infant). We asked her to stop. She refused and consequently we cut off all
communication between our three minor children and our oldest Daughter and the
Adults she had put them in contact with. That's when the threats to my wife and I
started and the threats were along the lines of: You will never see your kids again.
was a long distance truck driver and we were very concerned about kidnapping. This
adult had called my cell phone and started the conversation by asking if we could
work through the challenges and while I initially agreed I quickly found myself being
cursed at and then being told that "people like me had no right to be alive". Obviously,
I hung up the phone and did not take any further calls from this person.
threats from our oldest daughter.
vehicles I did not recognized enter our property and proceed at a rapid pace down our
long driveway, I was not thinking "Who are you?", "Why are you here?" I simply
perceived a threat and asked myself "What should I do?". A heart beat later I was
headed for my shotgun which was close by (When I am in high alert my shotgun is
always close by). My wife was several hundred feet away from me on the other side of
our house in the garden and she perceived a threat and was running to join me. My
son and second oldest daughter were in the house and independently they perceived a
threat, and only the lord knows how since when they are watching T.V. or playing video
games I think a tornado could hit our house and they wold not notice, but they came
running out. My wife tells me it was because the vehicles were racing their engines as
they approached that alarmed everyone. I can't say what, exactly, caused everyone to
perceive a threat but my second oldest daughter was so alarmed that she instructed
our youngest daughter to stay in the house which again was atypical for our family.

older sibling when we cut off all communications between them.

could clearly see that I was armed. I am not a small person, I am 6' 2" tall and with my

continued on their approach.
had put off having my eyes checked or getting new glasses or lenses for over three
years due to our on-going medical expenses. Even with my glasses my vision was not
too good. Good enough to see objects but not good enough to make out details. It was
not until the vehicles were about 100 yards away making the turn from North to East
on our driveway that I realized the second vehicle was an Adams County Sheriff's
vehicle. I still had no idea who was in the first vehicle.
that I was now holding it with two hand so that the barrel was in my left hand and the
stock of the gun was in my right hand. I had it pointed up and toward the left, away
from the approaching vehicles and into an empty field. The cars continued to approach.
ladies in the vehicle and that the vehicle was unmarked. The Sheriff's vehicle stopped
15 to 20 feet behind the first and from that point forward I had my attention on the
Sheriff's Deputy. The first question I asked was: Do You have a warrant? He said No
and I told him he was trespassing.
It is important to realize that after I was arrested and jailed on July 11th, 2008 that my
children were interviewed by the Adams County Sheriff's Detectives, our property and
house were searched (ransacked) and that NO evidence was found to collaborate the
complaints made by our oldest daughter to Adams County Social Services.
Social Services Department that investigation into the complaint filed by our oldest
daughter had been closed. Clearly our oldest daughter has filed charges against me
twice and twice the complaint was found to be without substance.
However, I am simply relaying the facts. There was a time before the injuries to our
family members when she was the kindest, most honest, gentle, sweet, good hearted
person. I really do believe that the injuries to our family members had a devastating
impact on her and something broke inside. She started hanging out with the wrong
kids at school, she started making contacts with people most of would classify as "bad
influences." We had tried to get her help, we had her in for counseling, we asked
friends and neighbors to speak with her. My greatest regret is that we lost her soul
through this difficult period in our lives and I am only able to hope and pray that she
turns back from this dark path and finds the light of love once again.
obviously into alcohol and sex, full of hate and has some very nasty things to say
about both my wife and I. Her lies have grown over time and her deepest desire
appears to be to see the death of my wife. My wife is so distressed that she has asked
me NOT to assist our oldest daughter if she attempts to contact her. While we did
change all of our home phone numbers I did not change my cell phone number of my
private business line, I wanted to leave the communications channel open in case she
realized that her family does still love her very much.
business line and made more threats. She then had an adult (30+ years old) friend
call me and make additional threats to call in complaints with Social Services and/or
the Sheriff's office. The threats also included coming directly onto our private property.
I immediately informed this adult that our property is private and that neither her or
our oldest Daughter were welcome here. I told her that if either one of them or both of
them showed up on our property I would have them arrested for trespassing
immediately. We will see what transpires this summer.
disturbed young women who is in deep emotional pain who is attempting to leverage
the powers of Adams County to seek her vengeance upon her parents.
My wife and I do NOT abuse our children. We are caring and loving parents who have
dedicated our lives to our children and to each other. We have scarified our comforts
and our pleasures for the benefit of our family and did so without any resentment as
we both determined long ago that raising a family was our greatest joy.
Sheriff's Department have decided to handle this situation I will tell you that they are
as much pawns in this vindictive scheme as my wife and I are. When our eldest
daughter called in her complaint to Adams County Social Services last July 10th, 2008
she had not been in our house in months and had made the complaint from out of
Both Social Service Workers had access to the prior reports and should have been
suspicious of the complaint from the moment it was called in. Instead of determining
to make a "surprise visit" they could simply have called and told us they were coming
or scheduled an appointment to do their "child welfare" check. One of the Social
Services workers has admitted that their intention was to surprise us and she also
admitted that they KNEW I had guns before ever entering our property in her
statements to the Sheriff's Department Detectives. The Same Social Service Worker
also admitted that this information was NOT relayed to the Sheriff's Deputy in her
statements. The Social Service workers also had the opportunity to halt their vehicle
as soon as they saw that I was carrying a gun and yet they made the decision to move
Deputy. The Deputy was called by the Social Services Case Workers as no complaint
was filed by our oldest daughter with the Sheriff's department. The Deputy had no
opportunity to review prior reports and was not given the entire story by the Social
Service Workers when they met before coming onto our property. The Deputy was
being used by the Social Service case workers as an "enforcer" and had been taken
out of his natural role to "preserve the peace". Simply due to the fact the Social Service
Workers car was the lead vehicle, he had no opportunity to halt progress of the
advancement onto our property once he saw the gun, the only option he had was to
follow the Social Service Case Workers into an armed conflict.
conversation was with the Deputy, I never exchanged a single word with the Social
Service workers. I also realized that the Deputy was wearing a bullet proof vest, was
standing behind his vehicles door and was outside the effective range of my shotgun
while I was standing in a T-shirt and shorts with absolutely no protection. While I was
deliberate and forcibly calm I understood my precarious situation and I am sure the
Deputy recognized where my attention was held. By never using his weapon he
probably saved my life.
had clearly saved the life of my wife at least once before, and probably twice and that
is not something you forget.
Structure of the Adams County Sheriff's department as they clearly made the decision
to ignore the 4th amendment to the U.S. Constitution as well as Sections 7 & 13 of
Article II in the Colorado Constitution when arresting me and filing these charges I now
face. Since Section 13 of Article II is clear that the right to bear arms when protecting
yourself, your home or your property may not be called into question the subsequent
arrest was a flagrant violation of Colorado Statutory law. At this point I think the chain
of command had determined that they were going to teach me "who the boss is".
unconstitutional if the Colorado Constitution has any remaining power in our State.
And while I am not out for retribution I do believe that some "tune up" training is in
order to assure that a situation like this never occurs again. We the People have given
Social Service Workers and our Sheriff's department tremendous power and unless we
hold some checks and balances against that power our society will surely devolve into
a despotic Police State.
who will stand with me to protect the equal application of the rule of law?

Replying to: Clarifying! by Jellz
Jellz said:
I use the word 'upgrading' interchangeably with 'replacing' here. So if someone comes in and is all "I want a new GoPhone, what can you do for me?" pretty much.
Online, we're told that we can't suggest that they order GoPhones online since it's "phantom churn" and they count as a new customer when doing that and it messes up AT&T's numbers or something, yet I get people from stores pointing people to get new GoPhones online.
So I'm just confused as to if I'm being told the right thing. Because it's getting old.
Phantom Churn would only occur if the new GoPhone is activated with a new number instead of using the old SIM or having the new SIM activated on the OLD number. An upgrade is defined as a change of equipment. Remember, a contract is not required unless the discounted price is requested. I suggest that persons who desire a change of equipment, visit http://www.wireless.att.com and select gophone. It will show you what is available including some Android phones...
