In ANN BRASHARES epic new novel, The Here and Now (April 2014), is an unforgettable epic romantic thriller about a girl from the future who might be able to save the world...if she lets go of the one thing she's found to hold on to. In the book, seventeen-year-old Prenna James immigrated to New York when she was twelve – not from a different country, but from a different time A future where a mosquito-borne illness has mutated into a pandemic, killing millions and leaving the world in ruins. Prenna and the others who escaped to the present day must follow a strict set of rules: never reveal where they're from, never interfere with history, and never, ever be intimate with anyone outside their community. Prenna does as she's told, believing she can help prevent the plague that will one day ravage the earth. But everything changes when Prenna falls in love. Brashares writes YA and adult fiction and is best known as the author of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants series of books. Brashares was born in Alexandria, Virginia and grew up in Chevy Chase, Maryland. E. LOCKHART's forthcoming book – We Were Liars (May 2014) - features a beautiful and distinguished family; A private island; A brilliant, damaged girl; a passionate, political boy; A group of four friends—the Liars—whose friendship turns destructive; A revolution, an accident, and a secret. Lockhart is the author of four Ruby Oliver books: The Boyfriend List, The Boy Book, The Treasure Map of Boys and Real Live Boyfriends. Her other titles include Fly on the Wall, Dramarama, How to Be Bad, and The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks – a Printz Award honor book, finalist for the National Book Award, and recipient of the Cybils Award for best young adult novel.

In SARAH MLYNOWSKI'S forthcoming YA novel – Don't Even Think about It (March 2014) a group of normal New York City high school sophomores, went for flu shots with their homeroom class. They were prepared for some side effects. Maybe a headache - maybe a sore arm – but they definitely didn't expect to get telepathic powers. Suddenly they could hear what everyone was thinking! Mlynowski is an editor and a writer of chick lit and young-adult fiction novels. In 2001, she published her first novel Milkrun, which has since been published in 16 countries selling over 600,000 copies around the globe.

I am using jQuery dataTables to add new rows dynamically. I am able to modify class attributes of the full row, but not columns therein.
In the below code I successfully set the css value to red and see the entire row with red font:
var dataTableRow = ['c1', 'c2', 'c3', 'c4', 'c5', 'c6'];
var newrow = $('#invoicetable').dataTable().fnAddData(dataTableRow);
// set class attribute for the newly added row
var nTr = $('#invoicetable').dataTable().fnSettings().aoData[newrow[0]].nTr;
// and parse the row:
var nTds = $('td', nTr);
nTds.attr('class', 'TMP');
$('.TMP').css('color', 'red');
I recognize that nTds[] acts as an array containing columns of the row, but as simple a change as nTds[0].attr('class', 'TMP'); does not set just the 0th column to red font as I might expect.
Clearly I am missing something simple. Guidance appreciated.

Flickr Hive Mind is a data mining tool for the Flickr database of photography. Flickr Hive Mind is a search engine as well as an experiment in the power of Folksonomies. All thumbnail images come directly
from Flickr, none are stored on Flickr Hive Mind. These photos
are bound by the copyright and license of their owners, the thumbnail links take to you to the photos
(as well as their copyright and license details) within Flickr. Because some other search engines (Google, etc.) index parts of
Flickr Hive Mind, you may have been led here from one of them. Welcome to Flickr Hive Mind, almost certainly the best search engine for photography on the web. If you are a Flickr
user and use Flickr Stats you
may have seen people being led to your photos via Flickr Hive Mind (as a Referrer).
Flickr requires that I inform you that Flickr Hive Mind uses the Flickr API, but is neither endorsed nor certified by them.
There are literally hundreds of other web tools built around the Flickr API, see
Flickr Bits for a bunch of examples.
If you are unhappy with your photos' presence on this site, you can (a)
make your photos private for yourself, friends, and family. These settings will be instantly honored by
Flickr Hive Mind and all other API-driven applications. (b) Hide your photos globally from text and tag searches on 3rd party sites that use the Flickr API, via your preference settings on Flickr. See the privacy tab at:
http://flickr.com/account/. To also remove yourself from searches for specific user names, you will need to set your Flickr profile to be hidden from searches. Flickr has finally created a single page with all these settings, this is much easier to do now and is the preferred method - it will shut down all API driven sites.
(c) Finally, you can
Banish Yourself
From Flickr Hive Mind. To banish yourself from Flickr Hive Mind, you must first authenticate to Flickr, which lets Flickr Hive Mind identify who you are. Once logged in, come back to this area
and there will be a link to banish you. If there are any problems email me at nosflickrhivemind ... at ... fiveprime ... dot ... org. (a few people with weird characters in their user names may have had problems)Log In To Flickr Now
Flickr Hive Mind is a data mining tool for the Flickr photography database, allowing search by: tags(keywords); Flickr photography groups; Flickr users, their contacts, and favorites; free text; the Flickr Explore algorithm for interestingness. Flickr Hive Mind can also be an effective tool to identify photography with licenses that allow non-commercial (and sometimes) commercial use. Written by:
Nathan Siemers.
Inspired by (and thanks to) Flickr Leech.
Dedicated to
Anna and her Flickritis.

Flickr Hive Mind stores no
personal information nor photos,
but some general time and IP address information ends up in my apache server logs. For additional details see the privacy policy.
Any revenue generated through advertisement on this site is used only to cover the cost of keeping the site online, beyond that Fiveprime donates to charitable organizations (also, there are no ads on User pages). Flickr Hive Mind is currently consuming about 13.6 terabytes of network bandwidth per year (not including the photos themselves)!

Customer Reviews
Truly awesome product - now once again the leader
Thank you so much for revising your product back to amazing status. With TouchID and Safari integration, your product once again has a superior UI and ability to fill forms as LastPass (whose less-good experience I was forced to settle for while you guys did not have the Safari integration).
This is simply the best, most accurate, most comprehensive product on the market. Keep up the good work!
--- my now irrelevant negative review follows
I used to recommend Roboform and have paid for licenses out until 2018 and since 2005... So I hate to write this BUT I cannot deal with the mishandling of iOS users any longer. There used to be Bookmarklet support for Mobile Safari that was awesome, then you dropped it. LastPass put in a Mobile Safari plug-in that launched with iOS 8, so I exported my data to them and now enjoy TouchID support AND browser integration. They are less accurate than you were, but that is the price I pay for you not supporting your must needy users (mobile). Move fast or reviews like this one will kill you competitively. See my former review below to see how much I used to love your product...
My old review (5 stars): I have been using Roboform for years and cannot recommend any of the other form fillers in the market. It is truly remarkable in the breadth of coverage, portability, and flexibility. The security level is just right. In summary, the experience is top-notch!
Works very well.. But HUGE security problem!
I really like the app W/ the desktop version but it's has a pretty big flaw!
What's nice is when they are linked I can add a password associated with a website on the desktop and it's automatically available on my phone ..
A handy update is the ability to use your fingerprint on the phone to quickly access all my passwords safely!
Here's the Major problem !!
The windows desktop icon in the system try allows anyone to right click on the icon and view all the websites!
I found even with a Master Password set
all the sites are there in plain site and available to just click on them and sign right in !!
I called the company and made them aware of this HUGE Open Hole months ago (Feb 2015) but I guess they didn't see this as a problem ??
Unfortunately after you put it in your master password once on the desktop it stays available to All the sites for many Hours .. Not Good !!!
So if someone sits down at your machine they can clearly see every website you access with a password with a simple right click on the tray icon and sign right in ..
So there you go, it works well updating passwords on phone from the desktop and secured them with a fingerprint on the phone but your desktop tray app is wide open...
V4.0 - from 1 to 4 stars!
Huge improvement with the Touch ID, Safari extension, and password generator! The start page needs improvement next. The picture inside most icons is too small and most words are truncated, making identification of the icon really hard. Please add option to NOT display most recent so I can add only my favorite icons, and size them big enough to fit the words. Put most recent icons on another screen so they don't disturb my favorite icons.
The Safari extension would be even better if I could start with RoboForm and log into the web page in Safari rather than RF's browser. Having to navigate Safari first to the web site and then ask the RF extension to fill in the password is backwards workflow. Better than before, but still awkward.
The digits slider on the password generation is clever, but lacks the option to have a random number of digits for stronger passwords.
Please add option to have NO search engine, because I don't want sensitive searches in my RF to EVER hit the Internet.
Please add a BACK button than returns me to my last RF search from a login file opened from the search.

1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates to a pH-sensor based on fiber optics. More specifically, the invention is directed to the chemical modification of the poly (methyl methacrylate) clad surface of an optical fiber to introduce amino groups, and thereafter, binding a pH sensitive dye to the clad surface.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Functional polymers find numerous applications as supports in solid phase synthesis, as discussed by R. B. Merrifield, J. Amer. Chem. Soc., 85, 2149 (1963); in reagents, as discussed by P. Hodge and D. C. Sherrington, Eds., "Polymer Supported Reactions in Organic Synthesis", John Wiley, New York, 1980: in Chromatography as discussed by J. M. J. Fretchet, A. J. Hagen, C. Benezra, and A. Cheminat, Pure Appl. Chem., Volume 54, 2181 (1982); and in catalysts as discussed by C. U. Pittman and G. Evans, Chem. Tech., 560 (1973).
There are two general methods for introducing functional groups into polymers. First, by polymerization of the corresponding monomers and second, by chemical modification of the preformed polymers. For introducing functional groups on surfaces, only the latter method is suitable. The most widely studied chemical modification reaction of poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) has been hydrolysis to poly(methacrylic acid), while research on introducing other functionalities in PMMA has received much less attention.
This subject is discussed by L. Feistel, D. Krauss, and G. Schwachula in Ger. Patent No. 212,258 (1984); by A. Akelah, M. Hassanein, A. Selim, and E. R. Keanwy in Polym. Prep., Vol. 27 (1), 468 (1986); and by V. M. Balankin, A. G. Tesler, and V. S. Talankin, Vysokomol, Soedin, Ser. B., Vol. 26, 384 (1984). In the work of the invention on the development of a pH sensor based on fiber optics, it was of considerable interest to chemically modify the surface of the PMMA cladding of an optical fiber to introduce amino groups. A pH-sensitive dye with isothiocyanate functionality, which has been developed in the invention, would then be bound on the optical fiber utilizing the amino groups located at the surface of the fiber. Reactions between isothiocyanates and primary amines are very fast and should be completed in a relatively short time even under heterogeneous conditions. A literature review revealed that procedures used previously in aminolysis of esters were unsuitable, because they either employed solvents that would dissolve the fiber or employed temperature conditions that would destroy the fiber.
The invention provides a method for the development of pH sensor based on fiber optics in an aminolysis of esters. The surface of the poly (methyl methacryalte) PMMA cladding of an optical fiber is chemically modified to introduce amino groups. A pH sensitive dye with isothiocyanate functionality is bound on the optical fiber utilizing the amino groups located at the surface of the fiber. Reactions between isothiocyanates and primary amines are relatively fast and are usually completed in a relatively short time even under heterogeneous conditions. This modification is carried on in solution or in a heterogeneous phase, i.e. on the surface of PMMA cladding of the optical fiber. As discussed hereinabove, N-lithio ethylene diamine is formed in situ by the reaction of n-butyl lithium with excess ethylene diamine, as the aminolyzing agent. The reaction occurs at room temperature and excellent conversion efficiency is obtained.
It is an object of the invention to provide a method for the aminolysis of esters which uses a solvent and/or temperature conditions which substantially decrease or eliminate the chance of the fiber from being dissolved or destroyed.
It is a further object of the invention to chemically modify a surface of a poly (methyl methacrylate) PMMA cladding to introduce amino groups.
It is a further object to bind the surface of the PMMA cladding of the preceding object with a pH sensitive dye with an isothiocyanate functionality.
It is a further object of the invention to provide a pH sensor developed through an aminolysis of esters and to do so in a relatively short period of time.
It is a further object of the invention to chemically modify a PMMA by aminolysis in solution or in an heterogeneous phase, i.e. on the surface of a PMMA cladding of an optical fiber.
It is a further object of the invention to use a N-lithio ethylene diamine formed in situ by the reaction of n-butyl lithium with excess ethylene diamine, as an aminolyzing agent.
It is a further object of the invention to alter existing fiber optics with PMMA cladding into a pH sensitive surface.
These and other objects of the invention will be more fully understood from the following description of the invention on reference to the illustrations appended thereto.
FIG. 1 shows a graph comparing the FTIR spectrum of PMMA and an aminolyzed product polymer (in KBr);
FIG. 2 is a graph showing a wide scan spectra covering 0-1000 eV region for the untreated ad aminolyzed PMMA clad optical fiber; and
FIG. 3 is a graph showing a wide scan spectra of untreated and aminolyzed FP clad fiber.
As used herein, "PMMA" means poly (methyl methacrylate). The invention involves the chemical modification of PMMA by aminolysis which could either be carried out in solution or in the heterogeneous phase, i.e., on the surface of PMMA cladding of the optical fiber. N-lithio ethylene diamine formed in situ by the reaction of n-butyl lithium with excess ethylene diamine, was the aminolyzing agent. The reaction occurred readily at room temperature and excellent conversion efficiency was obtained.
Chemicals were purchased from Aldrich Chemical Company (Milwaukee, WI). THF was distilled from sodiumbenzophenone. Reagent grade methanol and diethyl ether were dried over CaH2. N-butyl lithium solution in hexane was used as received. Ethylene diamine was distilled over calcium hydride and redistilled just prior to use. PMMA was prepared by free radical polymerization of methyl methacrylate at 70° C. for 2 hours in the presence of 0.5% AIBN. Optical fibers were supplied by General Fiber Optics Inc. (Cedar Grove, N.J.) and pertinent details are listed in Table 1. For surface modification, optical fibers were cleaned by soaking in 10% v/v aqueous methanol solution for 30 minutes and dried prior to use.
A 50 ml three-neck round-bottom flask fitted with a condenser and two dropping funnels, provided with a stirrer bar, was flushed with nitrogen and flame dried. Dry nitrogen was passed continuously through the system. Ethylene diamine (50 mmol) and THF (10 ml) were transferred to the flask using syringes. N-butyl lithium (2.5 mmol in 10 ml hexane) was then added dropwise. During the n-butyl lithium addition step, the flask was kept at 20° C. using an ice water bath. After the reaction mixture turned blue, the solution of PMMA in THF (0.25 g/25 ml) was added dropwise. Following PMMA addition, the reaction mixture turned pale yellow. After 24 hour period, stirring was stopped and the reaction mixture poured in ether to precipitate the polymer, which was filtered, washed with 5% v/v methanol in ether several times and vacuum dried overnight.
The optical fiber is insoluble in the reaction medium comprising only of N-lithio ethylene diamine and ethylene diamine, therefore the aminolysis is limited to its surface i.e. the outer part of the PMMA cladding. N-butyl lithium in hexane (7.5 mmol) was reacted with ethylene diamine (50 mmol) under nitrogen atmosphere at 25° C. for 2 hours to yield a purple colored mixture. An optical fiber, 15 cm long was placed in a dry glass capillary tube, plugged at both ends with rubber septa and flushed with nitrogen. A small volume (1.5 ml) of viscous reaction mixture was transferred using a syringe to the capillary, which was then placed on shaker to enable good wetting of the fiber surface. After a desired period (2-5 minutes), the fiber piece was removed quickly, washed several times with cold water and dried. Several fiber pieces were modified accordingly.
Elemental analysis was performed by Desert Analytics Inc. (Tucson, AZ). The IR spectra and NMR spectra were recorded on a Nicolet FTIR Model 5DXB spectrometer and a GE 300 spectrometer, respectively. ESCA measurements were made on an AEI Model ES 200 Electron Spectrometer.
N-lithioamine derivatives have been shown to be excellent reagents to promote aminolysis of esters that are otherwise resistant to aminolysis, as discussed by K. W. Yang, J. G. Cannon, and J. G. Rose, Tetrahed. Lett., Vol. 21, 1791 (1970). However, their use in aminolysis of acrylate ester polymers hitherto has not been reported. In a previous study on solution phase aminolysis of PMMA, the polymer was heated with ethylene diamine at elevated temperatures (70° C.-120° C.). This study was made by V. M. Balankin, A. G. Tester, and V. S. Talankin, Vysokomol, Soedin. Ser. B, Vol. 26, 384 (1984), which is discussed to some extent hereinabove. Because of our requirement that aminolysis be carried out at ambient temperature, such an approach was not suitable. In the present case, N-lithio ethylene diamine (la) was formed according to the following reaction: ##STR1## Following the aminolysis of PMMA by la, poly (methyl methacrylate-co-N-(2-amino ethyl)-methacrylamide) (1b) was obtained as outlined below: ##STR2## The occurrence of aminolysis was confirmed by elemental analysis, IR spectra and NMR spectra. The IR spectrum of PMMA and product polymer are compared in FIG. 1. From the figure, the appearance of a carbonyl amide peak at 1676 cm-1 is clearly evident, while the carbonyl ester peak at 1730 cm-1 is reduced in intensity.
The NMR spectrum of the reaction product is consistent with the results of the IR spectrum. New signal peaks in the 2-3 ppm region due to --CH2 CH2 --moiety are seen, along with simultaneous shrinking of --OCH3 signal peak at 3.1 ppm. The results of elemental and spectral analysis are consistent with the polymer structure, lb. Thus, the use of N-lithio ethylene diamine effectively lowers the aminolysis reaction temperature. In a separate experiment, we found that when an initial mole ratio of 4:1 of n-butyl lithium to PMMA was employed, almost complete conversion to lb was obtained within 6 hours. This indicates that N-lithioamine derivative also accelerates the reaction. The product polymer was found to be completely soluble in water which was expected because of increased hydrophilicity.
In earlier reports, such as those appearing in German Patent 212,258 and in Polym. Prep., discussed hereinabove, on heterogeneous phase aminolysis, PMMA was included as crosslinked macroreticular beads that possess large surface area and porosity. These beads are also known to swell in organic solvents. As a result, the reaction cannot be truly characterized as surface reaction. To the knowledge of the inventors, surface aminolysis of linear PMMA has not been studied before. Because the optical fibers were insoluble in the reaction medium containing N-lithio ethylene diamine, they retained their dimensional integrity. Therefore, the aminolysis primarily occurred on the fiber surface. It was determined that the fibers dipped in the reaction medium in excess of 10 minutes lost their light transmission property. Consequently, the N-lithioamine concentration was adjusted so that reasonable surface modification occurred within 5 minutes without significant loss of light transmission.
In order to confirm the occurrence of aminolysis on the fiber surface, ESCA measurements were carried out. Samples for ESCA were prepared by cutting 4 cm long strands from the parent fiber and glueing them next to each other on the probe support. FIG. 2 shows the wide scan spectra covering 0-1000 eV region for the untreated and aminolyzed PMMA clad optical fiber. The wide scan of untreated fiber shows two peaks near 540 eV and 300 eV representing Ols is core levels and Cls core levels respectively, consistent with the elemental makeup of PMMA. Similar results were also reported earlier for PMMA by Clark and Thomas in D. T. Clark and H. R. Thomas, J. Polym. Sci., Polym. Chem. Ed., Vol. 16, 791 (1978). In contrast, the wide scan of aminolyzed fiber shows Ols and Cls core level peaks plus another peak around 400 eV which is due to the Nls core levels, confirming the occurrence of reaction (2) on the fiber surface. The ESCA spectra of blank fibers showed no Nls peaks and was similar to that of PMMA. Independent check of fibers showed reasonable light transmission through the fibers, suggesting minimal damage to the core cladding interface.
We also examined ESCA spectra of fluoroalkyl acrylate polymer (FP) clad optical fiber. FIG. 3 depicts wide scan spectra of untreated and aminolyzed FP clad fiber. For the untreated fiber, besides Cls and Ols peaks, a strong Fls core level peak is observed near 700 eV. A distinct peak, though of reduced intensity, due to F(Auger) level is also seen. However, for the aminolyzed fiber, apart from the peaks due to Cls, Ols and Fls, a peak due to Nls is clearly seen. These results indicated that aminolysis reaction also occurred readily with fluoroalkyl acrylate ester polymers.
Following a mathematical treatment of the ESCA data, the relative peak ratios were calculated and these are tabulated in Table 2. For the PMMA clad fiber, the ratio Nls /Cls for two different reaction periods is practically constant suggesting that the surface reaction is complete within 2.5 minutes. Accordingly, the Ols /Cls ratio decreased with reaction time indicating the loss of --OCH3 groups from the surface. With the FP clad optical fibers, approximately 90% conversion of surface ester groups to the corresponding amide occurred within 5 minutes after fibers were exposed to the reaction medium.
In conclusion, N-lithio ethylene diamine allows aminolysis to take place at lower temperatures, accelerates aminolysis of PMMA in solution and on surface, and appears to be excellent reagent for aminolysis of other acrylate ester polymers as well.

A new report from the United Nations' panel on climate change says major action is needed, and fast, if policymakers want to limit global warming to acceptable levels.
There's an international target to control climate change: keeping the global temperature rise to just 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels — that's 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change now says it's technically possible to meet that goal. But doing so will require rapid, large-scale shifts in energy production and use.
Greenhouse gas emissions will have to drop 40 to 70 percent by 2050 — and then drop even more, to nearly zero by the end of this century — the report says.
The trouble is, emissions have actually been increasing. The panel notes that emissions grew more quickly between 2000 and 2010 than in each of the previous three decades.
Reversing that trend would require a huge shift toward energy sources like wind, solar or nuclear power, plus a slew of other changes, like increasing the energy efficiency of buildings and slowing deforestation.
"That's not going to happen on its own. Public policies are going to be required. That's the key message," says Harvard University's Robert Stavins, an economist and expert on climate agreements who worked on the report. "What's really striking and what's new about the report is that policy is addressed much more comprehensively than previously."
Another part of the report addresses so-called "geo-engineering" technologies that could possibly manipulate the atmosphere and artificially cool the planet.
"It's quite controversial. It's controversial among environmental advocates, it's controversial among scientists, and it's certainly controversial among governments," says Stavins. "But research is clearly needed."
The report doesn't recommend specific policies; instead, it maps out the options. It says that delaying action will make it much harder to bring greenhouse gas emissions down.
"What this report means is that there are very key choices for governments and business and citizens to make, and that the timing of action is absolutely vital," says Jennifer Morgan, director of the climate and energy programs at the World Resources Institute in Washington, D.C. "If we wait, we will close off opportunities to avoid the impacts and we'll make it a lot more expensive."
Under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, countries are currently negotiating a new agreement that's scheduled to be completed by the end of 2015, says Morgan, who notes that each country will have to put an offer on the table about what they'll do to tackle the problem.

The Southern Poverty Law Center has named Vanderbilt professor emerita Virginia Abernethy in its list of 30 new activists leading the charge of right-wing American hate, a distinction for which she has certainly earned her crazy-stripes.
Classifying Abernethy as a "White Nationalist," the SPLC identifies the former Vanderbilt psychiatry professor for her role in race-based politicking as a member of the American Third Position Party, a California-based white supremacist political party with grandiose aims: Abernethy is running as a vice-presidential candidate on an A3P ticket with running mate Merlin Miller, a Tennessee-based screenwriter who made a splash with the fine folks at this year's American Renaissance Conference.
The SPLC report's quasi-executive summary notes that the "explosive growth" of certain segments within the "radical right" are attributable to a corresponding demographic shift in which a growing Hispanic population threatens to reduce the United States' Caucasian population to less than 50 percent by 2050, according to the socialist U.S. Census Bureau. Further, the SPLC notes the rise of anti-Muslim sentiment. And so-called "Patriot" groups on the vanguard of the sovereign citizen movement have gained popularity in recent years as well.
Read Abernethy's SPLC bio after the jump.
It's not often that open white supremacists are joined and applauded by a retired professor from a major university, a former fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science no less. But Virginia Deane Abernethy is a now a full-fledged professor of hate. Abernethy, a professor emerita of psychiatry and anthropology at Vanderbilt University, showed her leanings early on, cooking up a "fertility opportunity hypothesis" that predicts that Mexican Americans will have more children than native-born whites in this country and then suggesting that "European-Americans should rapidly increase family size in order to avoid minority status." After that, Abernethy's slide into full-throated extremism rapidly accelerated. Born in Cuba, raised in Argentina and New York, and educated at Vanderbilt and Harvard, Abernethy in the late 1990s became the editorial advisor of the Council of Conservative Citizens (CCC), a hate group that has referred to black people as a "retrograde species of humanity." At the same time, Abernethy, who edited the academic journal Population and Environment for a decade, worked tirelessly to suggest that non-white immigration needed to be stopped for environmental reasons. At various points, she was on the boards of the Carrying Capacity Network and Population-Environment Balance, both nativist organizations. In 2004, Abernethy became the head of the national advisory committee to Protect Arizona Now, a group that was pushing a punishing anti-immigrant referendum. Even though Abernethy frankly identified herself to one newspaper reporter as a white "separatist" and she was denounced editorially across the state for her ties to the CCC, the referendum passed handily. The same year, she gave a speech honoring Kevin MacDonald (see profile below), an infamous anti-Semitic professor at California State University, Long Beach.
Abernethy went on to join the board of The Occidental Quarterly, a racist and anti-Semitic journal, and to post regularly to VDARE.com, a racist nativist website named after Virginia Dare, the first English child born in America. In 2010, Abernethy heartily endorsed as a "well-researched page-turner" a white supremacist potboiler of a novel, Kyle Bristow's White Apocalypse, that among other things enthusiastically depicted the assassination of the editor of this magazine, albeit under a fictional name. But it was in June 2011 when Abernethy truly crossed the Rubicon of hate, joining the board of the American Third Position, a group originally started by neo-Nazi skinheads whose leader, California corporate lawyer William D. Johnson, has sought a constitutional amendment to deport any American with an "ascertainable trace of Negro blood." The group, which may be the most important hate group in America at the moment, also includes as principals MacDonald; James Edwards, host of the white supremacist "Political Cesspool" radio show; Don Wassal, publisher of the racist Nationalist Times; and Jamie Kelso, who was for many years the chief aide of former Klan leader David Duke.

Festival season is upon us, and that means it\'s time to rock the practical yet cool backpack look! Fab DIY blogger Gwen has done a great tutorial showing how to give a cheap and cheerful duffel bag some serious fash points...
\"I bought this large canvas duffel bag on Amazon here for just £5.30. But you can use a simple canvas tote bag if you\'d prefer. Firstly, I dyed the whole canvas bag with a packet of Dylon Fabric Dye in French Lavender. Due to the creamy beige colour of the canvas, this came out as a light denim blue sort of shade. I just wanted a nicer background colour than the original cream beige. The canvas also become much softer and easier to manipulate when it had been through the washing machine with some fabric softener - this helps when it comes to tying the rubber bands.\"
\"For this project you will need: Dylon Fabric Hand Dye in Flamingo Pink, table salt, lots of rubber bands, measuring jug, large buckets, gloves and old clothes\"
\"Start by twisting, bunching and pinching your bag in random areas all over. Tie up with rubber bands tightly! Keep going until you have tied up sections all over the bag.\"
\"Fill your jug with warm-hot tap water and pour in the powder dye. Stir well with a spoon until all the powder has dissolved. You should be left with a bright red colour.\"
\"Now fill up a bucket with 4-6 litres of warm-hot tap water. Add 5 tablespoons of salt. Salt helps to open up the fabric and let the dye in! Stir well. Pour in the jug of red dye to the bucket. Stir well and you\'ll have a bright flamingo pink colour! Pop the canvas bag into the dye bath. Be careful to do all this in a prepared area. The dye will stain carpets and furnishing - so do this outside, in a garage or put down lots of protective sheets first. Set your alarm for 45 minutes. Stir the mixture every 15 minutes or so and turn the bag over so dye reaches all areas. After 45 minutes the dye should have soaked the fabric and be a strong pink colour.\"
\"Remove the bag and try to squeeze out as much dye as you can. Pop the bag into a bucket of cool water and rinse off the dye. Remove the rubber bands and you\'ll see the subtle pattern you have created! Chuck the bag into the washing machine on a short cycle. Use a little amount of detergent and softener. Hang outside to dry.\" \"Have fun tie-dying your own bags - if this is not wild enough for you, you can of course add studs or spikes! I think the finished result is comparable to something I\'d spot on ASOS or in Topshop and have to buy - but this tie-dye bag costs less than £8 to make and its a complete original!\"

Why is The Damned United rated R?
Official MPAA Rating: The Damned United is rated R for for language.
Please read our content details for this movie to help determine if it is suitable for members of your family. We also encourage you to check our full review and our movie information page.
The sexual expletive is pervasively used, along with other mild and moderate profanities. Many characters smoke and engage in drinking, often to the point of drunkenness.

Clean and comfortable
Location, and the staff were very attentive.
Room layout a bit strange. Lighting not the best.
Staff were courteous, Hotel was very clean, Beds were extremely comfortable. Always nice to have coffee available along with the microwave, mini-frig, hair dryer for the girls and nice TV.
comfortable beds
fitness center was hot and smelly
quiet, nice staff
no friends of guests allowed. Staff said " it's a quiet hotel, not more than one or two extra people in your room."
Since we were in town visiting this was silly to me.
I am originally from the Toledo Ohio area and got exactly what I expected: a clean, reasonably priced room that was a good value for the money.
The heater worked well, but there were only settings for "low", "med", and "hi". When I entered the room, it was comfortable. Over time, the room started getting too hot because there was no thermostat to regulate the heat. Not a big deal, but could be fixed very cheaply with great result.
The front desk staff were very kind and lovely people to work with. Very quite and nice front entrance.
My non-smoking room smelled overwhelmingly of cigarettes, indeed the ENTIRE motel did, and Is aw several people smoking in the halls.
The hotel could be nice if they tried a little bit harder to clean up the place. The bed was comfortable and the location was great. Definitely needed better cleaning inside and out.
There was a obvious lack of care for cleanliness.
There was a problem with the TV cable, which made it difficult to change channels. The desk clerk told us it was a cable installation problem, which had not been properly fixed. It made TV a nuisance to watch. It was to be fixed this week!!!.
friendly staff
Extra clean and nicely furnished queen room
Room was spacious and all amenities promised were present. Staff was very helpful. I would stay there again.
It's location was convenient. Staff was great.
Dirty floors, old facilities.
Our room was double booked. I dropped off my luggage and went down to the hotel bar. When I returned to my room, there was someone else in my room and my key no longer worked. The other guy ended up changing his room because we had adjoining rooms.
We had breakfast at 9:30, the breakfast ended at 10, which was fine but they stooped filling items too early.
The staff was rude.. And it being pet friendly i dnt think u should be charged an extra 15 dollars for your pet..
the room is not clean I advise the front desk clerk she did nothing all she said is that a manager would not be available until Monday and that was after I asked for one and after I said what what was wrong still didn't try to help
getting out parking lot
This was our thire visit here. The room was clean and they do a nice hot breakfast. We will stay here again.
The particular room we stayed in is in need of a new mattress for the bed. We told the staff and they were glad we let them know and will replace it!
I liked the suite. The kitchen area was convenient. Having Wifi was great and easy to access. The room was clean and parking was accessible to the unit. Great for overnight stay. We traveling from our winter home to our summer home. So having the refrigeration was excellent
The breakfast area was clean and the basic offerings were good.
The place needs a lot of repairs. Construction was going on and that I presume they are going to bring the place up to date. The units need updating
Very good breakfast; excellent location. Room was able to accommodate 5 people.
Mattresses were very hard
staff were not rude, but not particularly friendly either, with the exception of the lady in the servery at breakfast-she was very pleasant and accommodating
Very clean
Breakfast was below average

The European Commission (EC) is expected to publish feedback on its proposals for an overhaul of financial supervision in August, but senior European regulators are already expressing concern about some aspects of the proposed reforms.On May 27, the EC revealed its plans to replace the Level 3 committees - the Committee of European Securities Regulators, the Committee of European Banking Supervisors and the Committee of European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Supervisors (Ceiops) - with three more powerful authorities, known as European Supervisory Authorities (ESAs), empowered to settle disputes between supervisors and pass emergency measures in the event of a crisis.
But some supervisors are already expressing concern about the idea of granting powers of arbitration to the new agencies. "The current Commission documents leave many questions to be answered in the upcoming legislative proposals. For instance, what is on the table at the moment could be read as meaning that the proposed authorities might make supervisory decisions about individual firms," said John-Paul Dryden, EU policy adviser at the UK Financial Services Authority.
While supporting the need to improve the supervisory structure in Europe, Dryden believes the EC shouldn't give the Level 3 committees excessive authority over individual financial institutions when they won't bear the fiscal responsibility if things go wrong.
Another area of concern among supervisors is the EC's proposal that the ESAs should have the power to pass emergency measures, such as a short-selling ban, across the EU in the event of a crisis. "Crisis management on the European level would face serious challenges, because it might impinge on the fiscal responsibility of member states and additionally might not sufficiently take into account national nuances," said Thomas Steffen, the chair of Ceiops and the chief executive director of insurance supervision at the German financial regulator BaFin in Bonn.
But despite the reservations and widespread calls for more detail, the EC staunchly defends its plans and says they are the next step in attempting to create a single set of harmonised rules for the European financial market. "It would be absolutely wrong to suggest the Level 3 committees have failed in any way, we simply think this is an appropriate time to move European supervision up a gear. The financial crisis has crystallised some of the elements in the overall system that need overhauling," said Steve Ryan, financial services policy officer in the internal market and services directorate-general at the EC.
In addition to the ESAs, the EC proposes the creation of a European Systemic Risk Board, bringing together EU central bankers and regulators to monitor threats to financial stability. Those plans have also attracted criticism from national regulators who would be given only observer status on the board and would not be able to vote.
A public consultation on the reforms closed on July 15, but the EC will have little time to amend its final legislative proposals as they are due to be published and passed to the European Parliament and Council of the European Union on September 23. EC president José Manuel Barroso has expressed a desire to see the new framework become fully operational in 2010.See also: EU overhaul of financial supervision raises questions

Sweet and Thoughtful
I'm a pretty easy going girl. I love to laugh and have a good time. I am also very passionate about the things I believe in and the people I care about (It may be the Italian in me!) I am also an extremely loyal person. I am the type who is "all in". I don't know how to do things half way. I think that is one of my best qualities. I'm the kind of girl who likes romance. Some may call it old fashioned. At the same time, I consider myself a very thoughtful and sweet person. I remember the small things about people, from birthdays to anniversaries...I like the way it makes people feel when you remember something small about them. My idea of a great date could be an Indians/Browns/Cavs game, a romantic dinner or anything in between.....I am really down for anything. (Although I LOVE my Tribe!) Hahaa! I am happy to have found success in the working world. I have worked hard to get my Masters degree in social work and found a job as a Social Worker that I am proud of and good at. I have a great family and amazing friends, I am just missing that partner in my life to share things with. I'm looking for someone who is as family oriented as I am. My family is everything to me (even though there are a lot of them and they are VERY loud). I hope whoever I find can share that with me. Cards on the table; I am putting myself out there, and I am excited at the possibilities. If there is anything else you want to know, don't be afraid to ask!

I love all music, really! Anything I can sing along to, and I'm a sucker for a good Broadway musical! I love Italian, Chinese, and Mexican food. I love TV, some of my favorites are Friends, Law Order: SVU, Glee, Modern Family, The New Girl
I love spending time with my family (especially my nephews), being with my friends, reading, working out, practicing yoga, seeing movies, cathcing my shows on TV, going to any and all Cleveland sporting events, and just being with the people I love.
I am a huge James Patterson fan...I love anything he writes; I am usually reading something by him. I love murder mysteries, love stories and a good suspense thriller! And I hate to admit it but I do love a good celebrity gossip magazine too!
