ICBA Applauds GAO Report On ILCs
GAO Adds Its Voice To Growing Concern Over Mixing Banking and Commerce
GAO Adds Its Voice To Growing Concern Over Mixing Banking and Commerce
Washington, D.C. (Sept. 22, 2005) -- The Independent Community Bankers of America applauds a study released today by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) that suggests industrial loan companies (ILCs) pose a greater threat to the bank insurance fund than other institutions operating in a holding company structure, and calls on Congress to consider the risks of allowing commercial firms to own ILCs.
"The separation of banking and commerce is a pillar of our economic strength and financial safety and soundness for our insured deposits," said Camden R. Fine, ICBA president and CEO. "We are pleased that GAO recognizes this. ICBA continues to advocate for safety and soundness of the insurance fund by having banks focus on banking and commercial firms focus on commerce."
"The GAO report rightfully points out several reasons why Congress should carefully reconsider the growing risks to the banking system from commercial firms owning and operating FDIC-insured ILCs," added Fine.
ICBA strongly believes that ILCs owned by commercial firms constitute a dangerous threat to the nation's financial system. Mixing banking and commerce causes excessive concentration of economic power, jeopardizes the impartial allocation of credit, and extends the federal safety net where it was not intended.
The GAO report, titled "Recent Asset Growth and Commercial Interest Highlight Differences in Regulatory Authority," cautioned Congress against continuing to allow commercial firms to circumvent longstanding federal law barring the mixing of banking and commercial activities. The report also questions the adequacy of ILC regulation, noting that the FDIC has "less extensive authority to supervise ILC holding companies than the consolidated supervisors of bank and thrift holding companies . . .."
In response, former banking committee Chairman Rep. Jim Leach, (R-Iowa) today introduced a bill to bring ILCs under regulation of the Bank Holding Company Act (BHC). ICBA supports the Leach bill because it closes the ILC loophole.
ILCs are hybrid financial institutions chartered by only a handful of states that operate outside the reach of the BHC, which keeps banking and commerce separate to assure the safety and soundness of the nation's financial system.
The GAO report highlighted the rapid growth of ILC assets in recent years and noted that ILCs stand among the country's largest and most complex financial institutions. The GAO found that:
- ILCs pose more risk of loss to the bank insurance fund than other insured depository institutions operating in a holding company because FDIC has less authority to regulate ILC holding companies than bank and thrift holding companies.
- FDIC authority over large ILC holding companies has not been tested "during times of economic stress."
Wal-Mart Stores Inc. is seeking to charter an ILC in the state of Utah and has an application pending before the FDIC to obtain federal deposit insurance. ICBA vigorously opposes Wal-Mart's ILC charter application as an unwise and unprecedented breach in the separation of banking and commerce. ICBA urges Congress to quickly close the ILC loophole to preserve the separation of banking and commerce.

Tris (Woodley) and her brother Caleb (Ansel Elgort; Carrie) are two of many youngsters who have reached the stage of adolescence where they must make their first big decision. We are in Chicago, after an apocalypse, where society has disbanded into five separate factions and they must make a choice; live in the faction of their parents or take a different path through life.
Before deciding, each candidate receives an aptitude test to show them which faction they are best suited for. Unfortunately for Tris, she is a mixture of all five groups; a divergent. Divergents are considered dangerous as they have the ability to think outside the box, and as such could potentially bring down society; as such Tris can't let anyone know that she is not like them or she could be in grave danger.
Main cast
Shailene Woodley (The Secret Life of the American Teenager (TV); The Descendants; The Spectacular Now)
Theo James (The Inbetweeners Movie; Underworld: Awakening)
Kate Winslet (Titanic; Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind; Sense and Sensibility)
Jai Courtney (A Good Day to Die Hard; Jack Reacher; I, Frankenstein)
Directed by Neil Burger (Limitless; The Lucky Ones; The Illusionist)
Written by Evan Dougherty (Snow White and the Huntsman) and Vanessa Taylor (Hope Springs)
Based on the novel "Divergent" by Veronica Roth
Have you ever heard a film "bigged up" so much that you just have to see it? Yeah? This was it, I love The Hunger Games as I'm sure you'll know, and when I heard this was a more adult version of it, it instantly piqued my curiosity. What we actually got was a kids film, that made The Hunger Games seem like Battle Royale. I will admit to not being interested in reading novels, but I can only assume that Veronica Roth in the midst of reading The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins got side-tracked by the H.G. Wells tale The Time Machine, and somehow came up with this trite nonsense.
The saving point for this film is the on-screen partnership of Theo James and Shailene Woodley who surrounded by some cringe-worthy performances from people like Miles Teller (21 & Over) and Maggie Q (Nikita (TV)); the latter playing her minor role as though she is trying to help Neo within The Matrix.
People who have read the book will tell you about "the rape scene". This is a film for young teenagers (rated 12A in the United Kingdom), so naturally it doesn't happen, or even come close to happening. Perhaps the film could have done being aimed at an older audience, and been more violent with undertones like this throughout? That might have helped you to feel remotely sympathetic towards the bland characters. It certainly would have helped with the boredom factor! I was sat next to a couple of young girls who clearly were about GCSE age, and they even seemed less than enthused with the action on-screen, deciding that their mobile phones were more interesting at various stages.
I genuinely feel that there could be something that could have made the film work, and that was to allow the more senior actors a chance to carry the cast. The two most interesting characters could have been the leaders of the Erudite [intelligent] and Abegnation [selfless] factions: played by Kate Winslet and Ray Stevenson (Thor), but they weren't given anywhere near enough screen time to allow the political background to the faction system to come to the fore. I have to assume that this will happen in the next film, in a rather pointless trilogy, but I sure as Hell won't consider watching a second one! Bear in mind that I sat through all nine Hellraiser films, and all five Twilight ones, so I have a pretty strong tolerance for bad and unnecessary sequels!
Another disappointing aspect of this film was how little they took advantage of the wonderful layout of Chicago. It's one of the nicest metropolises in the world, and gets vastly underused albeit the scene during the capture the flag challenge where we see the iconic Ferris wheel on Navy Pier lying derelict does make for a really great image.

Book News: Author And Wife Of Amazon CEO Defends Online Retailer
By Annalisa Quinn
The daily lowdown on books, publishing, and the occasional author behaving badly.
- Mackenzie Bezos, the author of the novel Traps and the wife of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, defended the company publicly for the first time to The Times [paywall protected], calling it "great for authors and books." She herself is not published by Amazon.
- Iain Banks, the popular Scottish author, announced in a blog post on Wednesday morning that he has late stage gall bladder cancer, and that "it's extremely unlikely I'll live beyond a year." Banks is known for being a prolific author of science fiction novels. The Telegraph wrote of him in 2012, "No other writer likes explosions quite as much as Iain Banks does. His science-fiction novels rock with them, and one of the most celebrated opening sentences in modern literature is (from his 1992 novel The Crow Road): 'It was the day my grandmother exploded.'"
- In the LA Review of Books, Alexandra Socarides explicates the "formally stunning, politically subversive, yet oddly forgettable poem" at the base of the Statue of Liberty.
- A real estate blog calculates the value of Hogwarts Castle and comes up with $204.1 million.
- "Mary Gaitskill's great-great-grandfather invented the beer helmet." and other literary rumors from Vice magazine.
- The New York Review of Books highlights W.H. Auden's submissions to the literary magazine in honor of National Poetry Month, including his poem "Filler" : "The Marquis de Sade and Genet / Are most highly thought of to-day; / But torture and treachery / Are not my sort of lechery, / So I've given my copies away."

Surprise Sheep
By Kim Johnson
Our goose laid an egg this morning which was strange because I was under the impression that he was a boy. This wasn't the first time I made mistakes with livestock and gender identification.
Nine months ago my husband and I packed up the children and drove to Battleground with an empty dog crate. I found a boy sheep on craigslist. We had girl sheep. I excitedly explained to my husband that boy sheep plus girl sheep equaled baby sheep. He told me he was familiar with the math and pointed out that we didn't need any more sheep. We arrived in Battleground and picked out a lovely Long Border Cheviot ram and lead him to the car with a bag of Wonder Bread. My husband stuffed him in the dog crate and remarked that he didn't seem very big or very old. The nice lady in Battleground assured us that he would "cover" our ewes despite his age and size. I thanked her and made a mental note to Google that term when I got home.
Our boy sheep was very handsome, everyone said so. He had long beautiful eyelashes and big amber eyes. Cheviots have a collar of wool around their necks giving them a regal appearance. While boy sheep was both regal and handsome, he was also uninterested in girl sheep.
I gave boy sheep some time to settle in before observing his behavior. He was a nervous animal. I didn't really blame him; our dog tracked his every move. How he would ever "cover" anything under these circumstances I did not know. One day I saw boy sheep sniffing the behind of a girl sheep, I thought this encouraging until I realized my son had dumped oats over the fence and some had lodged in the wool of the girl sheep. Boy sheep was simply foraging for food.
Months went by and boy sheep still seemed uninterested in the ewes. My neighbor suggested that the ewes skipped their heat cycle due to a selenium deficiency in the soil. Not to blame everything on the females, he also suggested that I flip boy sheep on his back and carefully examine both of his testicles. I decided to Google my problem instead. It turns out that eight percent of sheep are gay.
They are simply oriented to the wrong gender. I disappointedly told my husband that we bought the only gay sheep in three counties. He pointed out that it was statistically improbable our sheep was gay, his issues were more likely due to performance anxiety. Between the constant observation and the family hound, boy sheep was a wreck.
No one could perform under those circumstances. Several months went by and boy sheep remained regal, handsome and aloof. I posted him on craigslist. A man from Vancouver arrived one afternoon and took boy sheep away. He told me he was going to use him to "cover" his ewes. I wished him luck and said goodbye.
Yesterday a baby appeared in our pasture. I excitedly told the kids that the pregnant goat I got for Christmas had her baby. The kids asked pertinent questions like "Why is the sheep licking the goat's baby?" and "Why does the goat's baby look like a sheep?"
The answer was a simple one. Boy sheep liked the ladies after all.

Pavin's plate stays pretty full
Daughter's birth, Temecula commitment just a few things keeping Oxnard native busy
Despite having just celebrated his 49th birthday on Sunday, change is very much a part of Corey Pavin's life these days.
There was the birth of his daughter Alexis in early 2008. Then there's a partial relocation back to Southern California, getting prepared to play his 26th and final season on the PGA Tour and you have a life with a lot going on.
Pavin was 82nd on the money list in September when he shut things down for the season. Knowing he had secured his playing privileges for the 2009 season left him with a tremendous sense of pride.
Since turning professional in 1982, Pavin has been able to retain his playing privileges on the PGA Tour without having to return to Q-School or using any of his special exemptions for being one of the Top 50 money winners in the history of golf.
"It's something I never thought about until this year," Pavin said of his consistency. "It's kind of cool, that I never went back to Q-School or had to use any special exemptions."
Once his card was secure for 2009, Pavin and his wife Lisa talked about how to approach his final full season as a member of the PGA Tour. They agreed it should be treated as a celebration of Pavin's phenomenal success and longevity as a PGA player.
"We're going to go out and enjoy the last year on tour," Pavin said. "We want to spend a lot of time with people we have gotten to know on the tour.
"We can say goodbye to everyone and let them know how much we appreciate the folks who have been so nice to me over the years."
During his final season, Pavin will serve as the touring pro representing Journey at Pechanga, a new golf course that just opened at the Pechanga Resort and Casino in Temecula.
As the touring pro, Pavin will have the Pechanga logo on his bag and make at least five trips to the resort each year.
A friend of Pavin's knew Andrew Miranda, the director of golf at Pechanga, and suggested Pavin would be a good fit for the resort.
When they showed interest, Pavin came out for a look and liked what he saw, especially with the golf course.
"Arthur Hills and Steve Forrest (the designers) did a really nice job developing the golf course," Pavin said. "It looks like there is very little earth moved out here and that is the style I like."
Miranda said having a player of Pavin's pedigree brings a lot of credibility to the new facility.
"He's Corey Pavin. He made that chip-in at the Ryder Cup (and won) the U.S. Open championship," Miranda said. "Corey's been fantastic. He's exactly what we were looking for. We wanted a nice partner to represent the club and what we're trying to achieve. He's very mellow and consistent day in and day out."
Pavin said Miranda and everyone associated with Journey at Pechanga have been great to work with. And he loves how the finished product turned out.
"It's an excellent facility. It's amazing to see what has taken place from the first time I came out to now," Pavin said.
"It's a good fit for everybody. For me to be here to be here in Southern California, where I grew up, having gone to UCLA, it's really nice to find a place here in Southern California to represent."
The Oxnard native is in fact coming home, at least partially.
While the Pavins will still call Dallas home, they recently purchased a home in West Los Angeles, not far from the UCLA campus where Pavin starred as a member of the Bruins golf team.
Under terms of his contract with the resort, Pavin will make at least five visits to Pechanga, something he is looking forward to.
"The practice facilities are excellent and it's only about an hour and a half from our new place," Pavin said.
While there has been plenty happening for Pavin in the last year, more excitement is on the horizon.
If Paul Azinger isn't asked back, there's a strong chance he will be the next U.S. Ryder Cup captain.
The PGA of America has told him he's on a short list of candidates. Pavin joked his phone is on all the time, he just needs it to ring.
Since the U.S. team finally broke through with a win this year, does Pavin think there will be more pressure on the next captain?
"Yes and no. Since we won this year, some will expect the team to win again," Pavin said. "Others will say it's just one win, they still have to prove it."
While Pavin is still unsure about the Ryder Cup, he is certain about his plans to play full time on the Champions Tour starting in 2010.
Pavin has done a great job of staying competitive on the PGA Tour, but it gets harder all the time.
He's looking forward to getting out with guys his own age, on courses more suited to his game.
"I am a competitor and want to have chances to win tournaments," Pavin said. "On the Champions Tour, I hope to have five, six, seven (chances) a year to win.
"I feel I'll have an opportunity to compete, and that's what I love about playing golf — getting a chance to compete."

Brent Budowksy: It is Republicans who deviate to extremism of politics and obstructionism for partisanship from historical norms of American political discourse and practice.
Straight to Hell
Sikivu Hutchinson: The bashing of Elizabeth Edwards is just a footnote to the larger trend of right wing demonization of secular and left forces reignited by the Tea Party. This trend builds on Cold War "better-dead-than-Red" hysteria equating patriotism and "authentic" American citizenship with being god-fearing.

The cop should get fired,Poor excuse of a public servant. When did an officers job turn into beating people there obligated to protect. Even if the kid was resisting, which he wasn't, its no excuse to punch someone multiple times in the face than throw them into a car head first. Police are trained to deal with that but i guess this officer forgot how to handle situations.
Regardless of if a lot of guns start out legally its still our second amendment
Amen beaver town
All im saying is don't cry about blown call, even your coach said that not the reason you lost the reason you lost is because lundqvist is a monster. All playoffs refs have been making bad calls. We have delt with it all playoff youd dont see use complain
yea he got away with that, im not going to lie but how about that trip you guys got away with on callahan that would of left him on a break away?
Yes and they didn't know if he didn't have a gun in his hand, which he didn't. Ha and how do we know if he was high it said cocaine and heroine were in his system. Drugs stay in your system for more time, than when you are under the influence. He ran they caught him, yes he did have a stick in his hand but there are so many other alternatives to using deadly force. Yes he deserved to get arrested and yes he shouldn't of ran. But if he was "beating" the officer with a stick, they knew it was not a gun or knife. And by the way i doubt he was really beating the officer that savagely with a stick that the other cop had to shoot.
how do they know if pepper spray wouldn't of worked on this guy if they didn't try it? Beside on top of that the police officer that he was beating was 6"3 and had a athletic structure. The man that was shot was scrawny as anything. so your telling me that the two police officer, the one that was 6"3 couldn't take cotnrol of this man. They just wanted to shoot, people get to excited to use there guns i guess
I look at it like this, theres two officers one guy. they have pepper spray and training in using non lethal force in situations like this. Shooting was uncalled for
the point systme is in there to obviously group them, but that when you play regular season. points dont matter in playoff considering most of the time the seeding is like 8th seed has 90 points and 4th has 96 (3 game diffrence). You don't know whose going to win based on seed because every team is talented unlike all the teams that you play during regular season. Oh yea and by the way devils suck
L.A. kings are 8th seed there in the finals. seeds dont matter in the playoffs
are you kidding me? he's still gonna get drafted not the end pf the world. Ha spend are taxes on that
Leave it to the devils to screw a whole city over.
hey devil, u said lundqvist relies on oversized pads, can you say gold medal i kno bmarty probally to drunk to say it. But anyway way lundqvist makes amazing saves all the time don't try to make excuses because you guys can rarely beat him. I think marty is a good goalie one of the best and im not gonna try to say oh it because this and that, no its skill just like lundqvist has so dont make excuses beacause you guys lost last night
I dont know why you wouldn't raise taxes for people that have money, when our state is broke. Oh yea that why because Christie is for the rich. Yea he has that cool bad boy attitude but all he does is help the millionares. Hey Christie what about the blue collar guys that help make this country run that you don't care about. I think its about time that we tell you to shut up.
yea the seaside heights is not newark, rember when they were at the shore they had police escorts, meaning they would do the same if they were to enter newark. Officers are already spread thin there no reason to pull 3 or 4 officers off the street to watch some people that act like teenagers
Yea Booker has a point, Police officers have way more important things to do then to make sure no one bothers, two people that are just out partying for a check.
idk mayb the same way they call cease fires in wars
yea your right you get free cable in prison. you can also watch what you want. Him not getting the death penalty is better, he has to sit in prison the rest of his life, death penalty would be to merciful
I know the rules, I also seen the replay so it should of not been a penalty. It wouldn't of counted because volchenkov or however you spell his name caused Gabby to creating contact. But at the same time if the ref you kno wasnt wearing a devil's jersey under his stripes he probally one of seen that and atleast left it in the zone. The NHL has to alter that rule for future games so these kind of things dont happen again
first of all there was unintentional, and your right it wouldn't of counted. But they still called the wrong call because they put Gaborik in the box. That is a part of the rule that needs to be changed, considering they lost the game because a devil pushed a player into the goalie causing the interferernce. Stuff like that should atleast bring it into a pentalty shot

White Kitchens have always been a designers love. The simplicity of the color combined with the countless variations of styles and details always makes for an effortless, clean and refreshing space to make ones coffee in the morning. With the kitchen being the center of the home it is used for cooking, eating, socializing, entertaining and can even be used as an impromptu workspace, homework station and scheduling center. The heart of the home needs the most attention and is the number one place to sink some money into for resale value. Designing a kitchen with all of the basic needs of a busy homemaker or worker is key in making ones life more efficient and removing the tiny hassles of day to day life. I will never forget nor want to return to a life without a dishwasher and I strive to one day have a garb-orator and trash compactor once again.
On my trip to NeoCon 2010 last June I stumbled upon one of my new favorite drule worthy kitchen designers who is master of his craft and has equisite taste and creativity in designing some of the most clever high end kitchen details. Mick De Giulio, master craftsman and internationally renowned kitchen designer has created an empire in his craft.
Quote by Mick de Giulio: "I believe that a great kitchen has a majic to it that transforms the physical room into a feeling. The great kitchen has a spirit, an aura, an intangible that is real. People are drawn to that kitchen, and they may not know why. The Kitchen sings."
When in his showroom I bought his book "Kitchen Centric" which elaborates with floor plans, images and inspirational quotes the thoughts and concepts behind some of his most beautiful creations. Every Interior Designer must purchase this book for their library and flip through it prior to any kitchen design… the inspiration and outside of the box thinking is magnificent! Mick De Giulio's favorite inspirational quote comes from Picasso "Everything you can imagine is real" and it shows.
White kitchens will always be classic and will never be passe. They are fresh and pure. As Mick De Giulio says: " the more you use white in a room, the less it feels like an element. The whiteness become dreamlike. Everything white sculpts together which makes everything that is not white pop."
Advantages of a white kitchen:
- you can easily play it up with any color, shape or style of back splash, wall covering, paint, glass, counter tops and hardware
- you can explore different styles from contemporary, traditional, country, traditional etc.
- you can do high gloss white cabinets without looking passe
- you can have fun with hardware and lighting being the jewels of your space think of over-scale, polished and unique looking pieces to add extra flare and pizazz to make it your own.
- you can have dark floors for higher contrast and it wont be jaring
- the look can be quite sleek and elegant and is more likely to be liked by a broader audience – ideal for resale value!
I am hitting up the ISaloni International Contemporary Furniture Fair 2011 this April. Unfortunately this year is not Eurocucina and Bagno however I will be visiting Euroluce which will give me an eyeopening and exquisite look into the world of lighting. Hopefully my next trip will be to return for the Kitchen and bath show.

Michael Graham: Mayor a nanny, not saint
If we could stop the hagiography of Pope Menino The Pius for a moment, could I please remind the citizens of Boston how our mayor spent most of his time?
Telling the rest of us what to do with ours.
Is Mayor Tom Menino the "Poor Man's Bloomberg"? Is he the New York City mayor's loyal sidekick, New York Mike's Mini-Me?
These are deep questions for profound thinkers. All I know is that since I moved to Boston in 2005, Menino has spent the entire time pushing people around.

Sotheby's and three Asian auction houses expect to sell more than $300 million in art, antiques, wine and jewelry this week, with a Mao portrait by Zeng Fanzhi and a Qing dynasty bowl among the most expensive items.
Despite the flurry of activity and glut of high estimates, art insiders are watching nervously for signs of China's luxury appetite. Last year, art-auction sales in Greater China, which includes Hong Kong, fell 37% from 2011, according to data compiled by Art Market Monitor of Artron.
"Everybody's looking at these sales—Sotheby's, mostly—as a test to see if the market is coming back," said Catherine Kwai, a gallery owner in Hong Kong. "I don't think we'll ever see it like it was two years ago. You now just don't see that crazy mainland Chinese buyer who bids up and up."
Sotheby's spring sales began Wednesday with wines from the now-shuttered Spanish restaurant El Bulli, an auction estimated to fetch more than $200 million. But the showdown begins Saturday, when the New York auctioneer holds its sales of Chinese paintings and contemporary art just as China's two largest houses, Poly Auction and China Guardian, host their own Chinese art, antiques and jewelry sales. Tiancheng International, a Hong Kong firm that is the smallest of the four, also holds a sale, featuring Chinese paintings, that day. (Christie's, another major auctioneer, holds spring sales next month in Hong Kong.)

The state's Board of Equalization announced a July 1 drop in the excise tax on gas, but that does not guarantee gasoline prices will be lowered.
Don't miss a thing. Get breaking Santa Clarita news alerts delivered right to your inbox.
Now that summer is underway and California drivers are on the road en masse, the state's Board of Equalization announced a July 1, drop in the excise tax on gas. Although Californians will be paying less in state excise tax at the pump, that does not guarantee gasoline prices will be lowered.
"This is good news for Californians traveling this summer," said George Runner, a Board of Equalization Member. "But, unfortunately, California will still have the second highest gas tax in the nation."
After the Board unanimously voted at its February 2014 meeting to lower the rate for the 2014-15 fiscal year, which ends June 30, 2015, they decided upon a new rate of $0.36 – down from $0.395.
In 2010, laws known as the "fuel tax swap" were enacted, influencing the adjustment of the excise tax on gasoline.
The swap results in revenue neutrality, which means that motorists will pay no more or less state tax on gasoline purchases than they would have before the swap.
The sales tax on gasoline to 2.25 percent and raised the excise tax by an amount projected to equal the sales tax that otherwise would have been collected under the old tax structure.
March 1 of each year for the coming fiscal year is when the excise tax rate is set, based on estimates of projected price and gallons to be purchased provided by the Department of Finance and IHS Global Insight, which is an internationally-recognized firm that provides economic and financial data.

St Joseph's Club in Greenhill forced to close 'because it serves alcohol'
Posted: January 03, 2013|
A POPULAR Swansea church-based social club is to close, allegedly because it serves alcohol.
The bell is set to toll on St Joseph's Club in Convent Street, Greenhill, for the final time at the end of this month following a decision taken by the trustees of the Diocese of Menevia.
The club, in the grounds of the Cathedral Church of St Joseph, has been operating since 1921 and has enjoyed an drink licence for more than half a century.
The church was built by Swansea's Irish community in the 19th century and in later years became an important base for local sports teams and members of the wider community.
Numbers have declined but the club, which is open six evenings a week, still has around 100 members aged between 50 and 80.
Chairman of the club, Liz Hole, said: "It seems a great shame. A lot of the people who go to the club are old, are members of the church and do not go anywhere else. It's not just ladies, but gentlemen as well.
"We are all getting old, and the numbers are falling, but at the same time we have nowhere else to go. A lot of our members have been left depressed by this."
Mrs Hole said a possible legal challenge to the closure had been dropped after seeking expert advice.
She said: "I have been to our solicitor and although we could fight the decision as we have been here for so long, there is a huge risk involved because if we lost any court case the costs would be huge."
Colin Watts, 76, whose Irish grandfather helped build the church, claimed: "I would like to register my dismay and disgust at the decision by the trustees of the diocese to close St Joseph's Club on the grounds that they don't want licensed premises within the cathedral grounds.
"The trustees never even met or consulted these loyal members of the parish who were informed of the decision by solicitor's letter.
"The reason they gave was they do not want alcohol on church grounds, but there has been a drinks licence for more than 50 years."
Mr Watts added that many of the people who helped maintain the church or joined groups associated with it were regular users of the club.
"Among the membership are members of the Cathedral Choir, the Mother's Union, who clean the cathedral, the men who trim the hedges and grass and the St Vincent de Paul Society which helps the poor in the parish," he said.
No one was available from the Diocese of Menevia to comment as the Post went to press.

- Während Anglizismen in deutscher Jugend- und Standardsprache bereits gut untersucht sind, stellt der Einfluss des Englischen auf multiethnolektale Varietäten des Deutschen noch ein unbestelltes Feld dar. Mit diesem Beitrag möchten wir einen Anstoß für künftige Forschungsarbeit in diesem Gebiet geben und zugleich einige erste Schritte unternehmen
- 'Kiezdeutsch goes School' : a multiethnic variety of German from an educational perspective (2008)
- This article presents linguistic features of and educational approaches to a new variety of German that has emerged in multi-ethnic urban areas in Germany: Kiezdeutsch ('Hood German'). From a linguistic point of view, Kiezdeutsch is very interesting, as it is a multi-ethnolect that combines features of a youth language with those of a contact language. We will present examples that illustrate the grammatical productivity and innovative potential of this variety. From an educational perspective, Kiezdeutsch has also a high potential in many respects: school projects can help enrich intercultural communication and weaken derogatory attitudes. In grammar lessons, Kiezdeutsch can be a means to enhance linguistic competence by having the adolescents analyse their own language. Keywords: German, Kiezdeutsch, multi-ethnolect, migrants' language, language change, educational proposals

- CXCL16 and oxLDL are induced in the onset of diabetic nephropathy (2009)
- Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a major cause of end-stage renal failure worldwide. Oxidative stress has been reported to be a major culprit of the disease and increased oxidized low density lipoprotein (oxLDL) immune complexes were found in patients with DN. In this study we present evidence, that CXCL16 is the main receptor in human podocytes mediating the uptake of oxLDL. In contrast, in primary tubular cells CD36 was mainly involved in the uptake of oxLDL. We further demonstrate that oxLDL down-regulated α3-integrin expression and increased the production of fibronectin in human podocytes. In addition, oxLDL uptake induced the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in human podocytes. Inhibition of oxLDL uptake by CXCL16 blocking antibodies abrogated the fibronectin and ROS production and restored α3 integrin expression in human podocytes. Furthermore we present evidence that hyperglycaemic conditions increased CXCL16 and reduced ADAM10 expression in podocytes. Importantly, in streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice an early induction of CXCL16 was accompanied by higher levels of oxLDL. Finally immunofluorescence analysis in biopsies of patients with DN revealed increased glomerular CXCL16 expression, which was paralleled by high levels of oxLDL. In summary, regulation of CXCL16, ADAM10 and oxLDL expression may be an early event in the onset of DN and therefore all three proteins may represent potential new targets for diagnosis and therapeutic intervention in DN.
- Contrasting disease patterns in seropositive and seronegative neuromyelitis optica : a multicentre study of 175 patients (2012)
- Background: The diagnostic and pathophysiological relevance of antibodies to aquaporin-4 (AQP4-Ab) in patients with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD) has been intensively studied. However, little is known so far about the clinical impact of AQP4-Ab seropositivity. Objective: To analyse systematically the clinical and paraclinical features associated with NMO spectrum disorders in Caucasians in a stratified fashion according to the patients' AQP4-Ab serostatus. Methods: Retrospective study of 175 Caucasian patients (AQP4-Ab positive in 78.3%). Results: Seropositive patients were found to be predominantly female (p < 0.0003), to more often have signs of co-existing autoimmunity (p < 0.00001), and to experience more severe clinical attacks. A visual acuity of ≤ 0.1 during acute optic neuritis (ON) attacks was more frequent among seropositives (p < 0.002). Similarly, motor symptoms were more common in seropositive patients, the median Medical Research Council scale (MRC) grade worse, and MRC grades ≤ 2 more frequent, in particular if patients met the 2006 revised criteria (p < 0.005, p < 0.006 and p < 0.01, respectively), the total spinal cord lesion load was higher (p < 0.006), and lesions ≥ 6 vertebral segments as well as entire spinal cord involvement more frequent (p < 0.003 and p < 0.043). By contrast, bilateral ON at onset was more common in seronegatives (p < 0.007), as was simultaneous ON and myelitis (p < 0.001); accordingly, the time to diagnosis of NMO was shorter in the seronegative group (p < 0.029). The course of disease was more often monophasic in seronegatives (p < 0.008). Seropositives and seronegatives did not differ significantly with regard to age at onset, time to relapse, annualized relapse rates, outcome from relapse (complete, partial, no recovery), annualized EDSS increase, mortality rate, supratentorial brain lesions, brainstem lesions, history of carcinoma, frequency of preceding infections, oligoclonal bands, or CSF pleocytosis. Both the time to relapse and the time to diagnosis was longer if the disease started with ON (p < 0.002 and p < 0.013). Motor symptoms or tetraparesis at first myelitis and > 1 myelitis attacks in the first year were identified as possible predictors of a worse outcome. Conclusion: This study provides an overview of the clinical and paraclinical features of NMOSD in Caucasians and demonstrates a number of distinct disease characteristics in seropositive and seronegative patients

Today my garage is less chaotic than yesterday because of some "ghetto shelves" I made.
Step 1: Before
Therefore, as the years pass, my garage goes becoming a small hell where does not remain place for the car neither for the people.
Step 2: What to do?
I bought a piece of steel iron for the construction, 8 mm diameter. I chosed that measure because already had a corresponding widia bit, but equal would be able to have chosed 10 mm.
The iron is not expensive.
The pictures are self explained. Click on the inner notes.
Step 3: Holes in the wall
The holes must be all at the same height. I guided myself for the distance to the ceiling. The distance among holes depends on the length of the objects to keep.
Step 4: Doing a tilt guide
I did it with three pieces of wood. You can use what you prefer.
Step 5: Inserting the rods in the wall
Step 6: Finally, putting the stuff in the "shelves"
You can also to hang things of they.
Be care the stuff not fall after easily.
You must know that this arrangement is more efficient in the use of the space, but the accessibility of the things saved in this form is now minor that when they were simply supported against the wall: each time that you need some tube, wand, etc, you will have to look for a stair and (with care of not killing to somebody down) search in your treasure and go down it.
on the lattice based one I store all the pads for out summer furniture in the center and label the boxes on the outside peremiter for easy access.
I retired december 30, 2009. Then, during january and february I had to devote time to reorder my garage. I found another way to get storage is hanging pipes under the ceiling, thereby providing a grip for S hooks, and hang them all wire rolls, cables, hoses and the like that I cherish in case I ever need them. To hang rolls, the S hooks must be "3D" twisted, so the rolls can be parallel one to other, and perpendicular to the pipe.
I don't know how I lived without this website.
I can see how twisting the s hooks would work. thanks for passing it on.
De fútbol, lo único que sé es que la pelota es cuadrada...
Yo también soy un acumulador compulsivo de basura, y así no hay estantería que resuelva el problema. Mi nuevo taller todavía no cumplió un año, y ya está atestado de hierros, maderas, alambres, chapas, rejillas, cables, resortes, tubos, sogas, tornillos, tuercas, arandelas, herramientas, limaduras de hierro, ceniza de la salamandra, leña, aserrín, tierra, etc.
Mis hijos dicen que el día que yo me muera van a prender fuego a todo!

My idea was to say "today my garage is less a chaos than yesterday, thanks to the "ghetto shelves".
I understand that my phrase is not easily readable, I will rewrite it following your suggestions.
Thanks very much. Bad traductions are hilarants, when not dangerous...
I am learning English thanks to Instructables!!
I understood the idea behind the phrases though. As I believe most everyone does in all of your instructables.
English is confusing. Look at how I confused things when I mentioned "ALMOST" the first time. :)
BTW, I have found http://www.mylanguageexchange.com/ to be very good for learning a foreign language.
i suggest http://www.xlango.com it is FREE lanugage exchange community http://www.xlango.com
I believe this clears the expression. The origin of my error is that in Spanish the word "que" go as "that".

No, I do not think that politics is a game. It is serious business and should be approached as such. However there is a political party in this country that does think it is a game: A game to be won or lost.
The election process is to choose the person best suited to do the job. The primary process is to choose the best person to lead in each political party. Then the best people from each party go up against each other in the general election. That is how our elections are supposed to work. Americans want the best person the political process can churn out to lead this nation. This is how the Democrats pick their nominees. Not so for the Republicans.
Ironically, up until this year the Republican Party leadership picked the Republican nominee by cutting off the funds for whichever candidates they wanted out of the race. Now, thanks to Citizens United, pushed by the Republicans and Conservatives, they no longer have the power to cut off someone's funds since they no longer get their money from the Republican Party. This year each Republican candidate has his own pet billionaire. This is a billionaire that is basically financing a person's candidacy. For Rick Santorum it is Foster Friess, Newt Gingrich has Sheldon Adelson, and Mitt Romney has Ken Griffin. (Ken Griffin believes that the super-rich have an insufficient influence on politics and policy. What? They are the ONLY ones who have any influence over American policy. Thanks to intense lobbying and hundreds of millions of dollars spent by the super-rich on politicians and political parties, this entire country is set up for the rich. They are the ONLY ones in this country benefitting from fiscal policy, economic policy, foreign policy, domestic policy, etc. right now.).
Billionaire Romney Backer: The Ultra-wealthy Have An 'Insufficient Influence' Over Politics
So, the Republicans approach politics as a game. What is the purpose of a game? To win. How do we know this? Because they have told us over and over again in several different ways. Mitch McConnell told us back in October of last year: "The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president. He didn't stop there, though. He has said the same thing on many different occasions. McConnell's Cheerful Cynicism
Now the leadership of the Republican Party and the rank and file Republicans are casting their votes in this primary for whomever they think can beat Barack Obama. Many different Republicans have said that they need to nominate someone who can beat President Obama. Not who would be best for the country. Nope, all they want is someone who can beat President Obama.
This is just one more example out of the dozens there are that the Republicans do not care about this country. In fact it is hard to figure out what it is that they care about, are for and are good at. Let's see if we can figure that out.
The Republican are against contraception. Just look at the current contraception debate
The Republicans are against immigration. Look at the "paper's please" law in Arizona
The Republicans are against education. The want to defund all public education
The Republicans are against science. The don't believe in global warming and they don't believe in evolution
The Republicans are against minorities.
The Republicans are against women's rights; which essentially means they are against women. Again, look at the current contraceptive debate.
The Republicans are against a women's right to choose, (see above)
The Republicans are against gays.
The Republicans don't care about the environment if there is money to be made by destroying it.
The Republicans say they are fiscal conservatives and are the only party who can handle the economy. Not true. There is empirical evidence that it is the Democrats who spend less and do better with the economy. The economic meltdown of 2008 was a direct result of Republican economic policies, just as the Great Depression was also caused by Republican policies. (The old "give all the money to the rich" game they are STILL playing and have been since 1854).
The Republicans say that the Democrats are not any good at foreign policy and the defense of this nation. Also not true. The two biggest foreign policy blunders in memory, and possibly ever, were Iraq and Afghanistan: A Republican was responsible for that. Who got Osama bin Laden? A Democrat.
The Republicans are for transferring massive amounts of wealth from the poor and the middle class to the richest people in this country by cutting the super-rich's taxes and paying for those tax cuts by defunding and getting rid of domestic programs for the poor and middle class.
The Republicans are for getting rid of our social safety net. They would like nothing better than to hand Medicare over to private insurance companies, and hand Social Security over to Wall Street. (They have been trying for decades to get that done).
The Republicans are for war: As many wars as possible. They want there to be never-ending war for their defense contractor buddies.
So. What did we learn here? The Republicans are for the 1% and are for never-ending war and against everything else.
The Republicans do not care about the American people unless they need them for something. The Republicans are bad at everything except starting illegal and unnecessary wars and taking money away from the poor and middle class and giving it to the super-rich. And the Democrats are better at everything else.
Well, then why should you vote for a Republican this November? They are bad at everything they do. Well, there are two reasons for voting for a Republican. You are part of the 1% or you are racist, misogynistic, and a religious bigot. There is absolutely no other reason whatsoever to vote for a Republican this fall. In fact, if you care about this country at all, you will not vote for a Republican.

'The Other Woman', Starring Nicki Minaj, Tops Box Office With $24.7M
20th Century Fox's 'The Other Woman' edged out 'Captain America' to top the box office this weekend. The Other Woman, starring Cameron Diaz, Kate Upton and rapper Nicki Minaj, took in $24.7 million from a mostly female audience.

Video Sneak Peek of Andre 3000 As Rock Legend Jimi Hendrix
A video clip of the upcoming Jimi Hendrix biopic All Is By My Side, featuring Outkast member Andre 3000 Benjamin was released online yesterday. The film will focus on Jimi's life while he was still living in New York. No U.S. release date has been set yet.
A left-handed guitarist, Jimi taught himself to play a right handed Fender Stratocaster guitar — upside down.
Born in Seattle, Washington in 1942, Jimi moved to England when he was 24. A year later, Jimi's legend was born when he played the Monterey Pop Festival in the U.S. At the end of his set he lit his guitar on fire onstage.
Like most falling stars, Jimi died of a drug overdose in a London flat in 1970.
Watch the clip after the break.
Celebs Out & About: Lupita Nyong'o

Hello everyone, can someone assist me in finding someone in the Houston area that can service/repair my Xeo Cool Glide Laser (Cutera). The Error code coming up is 249/367. I am really having a hard time with this. Any help or advice will be appreciated
Hello. I specialize in this repair. Please contact me for a quote.
What causes the error codes? How much would it cost to fix it?
Hi Lesley,
The error code will appear about every two to five years on most Cutera systems. Heat, time, and use of your laser will cause this error over time. We provide this service anywhere in the US for $3,250 with all parts, labor, and travel included. This is for these error codes only. Any other minor error codes will be taken care of, but other codes may point to other subsystems, and that would cost more. This almost never happens if we are given all error codes up front. I would warn against hiring a random 3rd party to perform this repair as service software (of which we have every Cutera version) and alignment (which we follow Cutera's procedure, often with better results), as well as a power calibration, and output check. Work by other third parties may lead to busted fibers, leaky power supplies, and errors 212, 202, etc. So be careful who you hire.
I would love you to contact me. 508-754-4000. I have a Cutera CoolGlide Excel-Yag with specific error code 366 and I need to figure out what this is. Have researched but can't see this particular code listed anywhere. Thanks. -Elena

DACULA - City council members voted to annex 55.45 acres into the city limits Thursday, thereby "firming up" the city's boundaries, according to City Administrator Jim Osborne.The former Gwinnett County property, which is located on Stanley Road, belongs to family members of mayor Jimmy Wilbanks. The mayor recused himself from Thursday's proceedings. The 55-plus-acre parcel completes a 90-acre tract, 35 acres of which already lies within Dacula city limits. The property was immediately zoned R-1200 (low density single family residential) by city officials upon annexation. City attorney Dennis Still pointed out Thursday that annexation proceedings were initiated by the city and not by the property owners. "We've been working on this case for more than 12 months," Osborne said. The annexation was disputed by Gwinnett County and went into arbitration, and the panel ruled in favor of the city. City council will serve as Redevelopment Agency The Dacula city council will serve as the city's Redevelopment Agency, following adoption of a resolution Thursday stating as much. In 2007, voters passed a redevelopment law that enables officials to designate Tax Allocation Districts within the city limits. While there are currently no proposed districts in the city, Wilbanks said that "the potential is there." Establishing city council as the Redevelopment Agency is just a first step in what will be a more involved process once redevelopment projects are identified, according to Still.

Why Capless?
A capless wig is very similar to the standard cap design. However, instead of the closed lace layer at the crown, it has vertical lace strips with open spaces between the wefts. The open-wefting in the crown, back, and sides allows for maximum ventilation. This makes the cap lighter weight and cooler than a standard cap.
Why Synthetic Fiber?
Today's better quality synthetic wigs (which is all you will find at wigsbuy.com) are virtually indistinguishable from human hair, except to the most practiced eye. Synthetic wigs(which is made from 100% import resistance fuel high-temperature fiber and fit average headsizes.) are easier to care for and lower priced. The monofilament fiber "hair" used to make synthetic wigs has "memory" which means it maintains its wave or curl, texture and volume, requiring minimal upkeep. Synthetic wigs, however, are not designed to accept a permanent wave or color change and can be permanently damaged by the use of curling irons, blow dryers or hot rollers.
1) This wig is designed to be worn without glue
2) Adjustable strap in the back allows you to adjust the size of the wig
Gifts Include:
6 PCS Clips for Hair Extension/Wig
2 PCS Liner Wig Cap(Random in color, which is essential to comfortable and successful wig wearing).
1 PC Styling Comb, made from special steel teeth to eliminate frizz, breakage, and static electric problems
Note: The color may be slightly different as the picture, since the different web browser and monitors.
1. Pin hair as flat and as tight as possible before taking the measurements.
2. Round your measurements up no t down. Example: 12 3/4 should be rounded up to 13 and 12 1/4 should be rounded up to 12 1/2.
Note: If you are bald or do not have a hair line - you do not need to add the inch - simply put the tape measure where you would like your hairline to begin with the wig. The averages below are just examples. Not everyone will meet these measurements - some may be under or over and that is perfectly fine.
Measure all around the head. Position tape measure so its edge follows the hair line around the head and nape of the neck. (Average measurement is 22 inches).
Measure from hairline at center of forehead straight back over crown to center of
