The President has to acknowledge that the opposition is ready to send the country into default -- and make it clear he's not interested in doing so.
The last two weeks have been beyond depressing if you believe the debt issue and impending default are actually serious or if you think governance is, or at least ought to be, about solving problems. And if you like and basically agree with the policies of President Obama, it has been hard to see how he emerges from this mess a winner.
On the other hand, if you see this as a theme park or as a political opening for the emergence of the radical center, then you see it all as sort of fun.
To review the bidding, all of the current set of negotiations seem to have gone nowhere -- unless both sides are cleverly hiding a grand bargain. The Senate Gang of Six is on sabbatical. The Biden negotiations are paused. The nation's economists have just sent two contradictory letters to the Hill. The far right, i.e. the Republican House of Representatives, has convinced itself that default is actually not a big deal. The far left is in the process of convincing itself that the President can simply ignore the debt ceiling and rely on a new interpretation of Section 4 of the 14th Amendment. This seems to be what passes for useful strategy today: ignore the problem and create another problem, in this case impeachment. What passes for a middle is reduced to arguing that the Secretary of the Treasury can manage his way around default by paying bills selectively. (A Treasury Secretary who, by the way, has all but shouted that he is departing, thus rendering himself a short-timer with no negotiating clout. Why doesn't President Obama tell Tim Geithner that he can't leave? Other presidents have.) We are running a $1.5 trillion deficit -- $125 billion a month. The U.S. Treasury receives about 80 million bills a year, 7 million a month. So each month the Treasury is supposed to sort through 7 million bills and find $125 billion it can avoid paying, while paying all interest and finding a way to roll over maturing debt? This is utter nonsense.
Meanwhile, the President's own strategy is impossible to figure out. He seems reduced to saying that there's a deal if the Republicans agree to alter the depreciation schedule for private jets and reduce America's charitable giving. The administration seems to also be fearful lest an inadvertent comment offend the Republicans. I don't pick up quickly on subtlety, but I can't find a political strategy, or an economic narrative, or a consistent public relations effort in all of this. I hope his call to bring all the negotiators to the White House for another try is the start of a strategy and a narrative.
But this issue is the ball game. Nothing else truly big, truly election settling, is likely to happen before the 2012 elections. There are always unknown unknowns, but most of them are bad. The President has to win or stalemate this issue.
Join us at the Hamptons Institute July 15-17 to hear distinguished speakers take on today's most pressing issues!
I think there is a way to do this, and David Brooks posed it indirectly in his excellent column yesterday. He argued that the Republican Party may be moving away from being "a normal conservative party, but an odd protest movement that has separated itself from normal governance, the normal rules of evidence and the ancient habits of our nation." The President has to take the measure of his opposition, offer a short-term deal reasonable people could not refuse, and put such a deal in the context of a real economic strategy. The opposition is moving in the direction Brooks suggests: becoming ideologues and nihilists (and making it obvious), while the nation is composed largely of moderates and centrists who increasingly see themselves as politically independent. The new Congressional Republicans also they think they have the Administration's number and that he will cave before risking default, and they think the economic and financial disaster a default would represent would hurt President Obama more than them. The President has to raise the risks a default poses to the Republicans.
He can accomplish this by:
- Defining himself as clearly being in the center and trying to solve the nation's problems.
- Defining the opposition as acting beyond any acceptable political boundaries in being willing to expose Americans to the kinds of risks default entails.
- Proposing a broad economic strategy comprising deficit reduction, tax reform, and infrastructure investment phased in so that the economy can continue its (weak) recovery. (This strategy won't have a chance before the election, but the President can campaign on it for the next 15 months.)
- Proposing a modest short-term deal: a limited debt ceiling increase with accompanying deficit cuts coupled with a process for a real negotiation. I would suggest a debt ceiling increase covering roughly the next 6 months, and a full fledged process of negotiation out at Andrews Air Force Base starting in September. I would make the short-term proposal hard to turn down by designing it so that about 80% of the deficit reduction came from spending cuts. (They have already identified more than enough enough budget cuts to do this.)
But the President has to believe all of this if he says it. The only way he wins is if he puts forward a reasonable, doable proposal and then stays with it. Does he go all the way through a default? I just do not know, but he has to come close.
This debt ceiling debacle is not acceptable. Americans have a right to be furious at both parties for all of this, and these events will accelerate the movement away from our current duopoly. What right do politicians have to threaten the economic security of all Americans because they are having an ideological quarrel? Most Americans mostly want to be left alone, not made the victims of a political system that has seemingly lost touch with what governance is. As my friend Les Gelb said on another topic: "Without vision men die; with vision more men die."

EnviroTech :: Regulatory :: Regulatory: REACH
ECHA adds several substances to registry of intentions under Reach
July 17, 2014 | Michael Ravenscroft
The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA; Helsinki) says that four new intentions and five new submissions for harmonised classification and labelling (CLH) have been added to the public registry of intentions (RoI). The aim of the RoI is to make interested parties aware of those substances for which a dossier is intended to be submitted, whether under CLH, as a substance of very high concern (SVHC) or a restriction. The registry is part of the European Union's Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation, and Restriction of Chemicals (Reach) regulations. Interested...

Line Smoothing Pressed Powder
Line Smoothing Pressed Powder feels silky, goes on sheer and exceptionally smooth.
Intense i-Color Volumizing Mascara
Wow! Almay's revamped Intense I-Color Mascara is an excellent addition to the company's lineup of mascaras.
Add to Faves?
Almay At-A-Glance
Strengths: An excellent assortment of mascaras; several exceptional foundation options to choose from; a phenomenal liquid eyeliner; a selection of good makeup removers.
Weaknesses: Some of the Intense i-color products do the exact opposite of enhancing eye color; mediocre blushes; "Smart Shade" products don't automatically adapt to skin's color as claimed.
Long a standby for those with sensitive skin seeking hypoallergenic products (though that term is unregulated and can be applied to any product, regardless of ingredients), Almay continues to refine its comprehensive makeup line. In early 2006 the company repackaged its old favorites, and also relaunched several new makeup items. Everything now has a sleek new look and color-coded packaging. We admit, the makeover is effective, not just product-wise but visually too.
Shopping this drugstore line is now much easier because of the clearly defined product and color family groupings. Lamentably, testers and trial sizes of the makeup are still scarce regardless of where you shop. Almay has always been a reliable line for foundations, powder, and mascara. Within its current lineup you'll find that remains true. Their foundations are better than ever, and still offer full, broad-spectrum sun protection and a mostly neutral palette. We also found their concealers and mascaras have improved, as have the pencil options. When it comes to shopping for makeup staples with state-of-the-art formulas, Almay has many winners, and some innovative surprises that its competitors would be wise to learn from.

While onboard navigation systems are gaining in importance, maps are still the medium of choice for laying out a route to a destination and for way finding. However, even with a map, one is almost always more comfortable navigating a route the second time due to the visual memory of the route. To make the first time navigating a route feel more familiar, we present a system that integrates a map with a video automatically constructed from panoramic imagery captured at close intervals along the route. The routing information is used to create a variable speed video depicting the route. During playback of the video, the frame and field of view are dynamically modulated to highlight salient features along the route and connect them back to the map. A user interface is demonstrated to allow exploration of the combined map, video, and textual driving directions. We discuss the construction of the hybrid map and video interface. Finally, we report the results of a study that provides evidence of the effectiveness of such a system for route following.

The Maine Supreme Court has dismissed a lawsuit brought by an Aroostook County property owner against First Wind. Citing noise pollution, the plaintiff was seeking a buyout of his property so that he could move away from the turbines. Jennifer Mitchell reports.
The summary judgment for First Wind upholds a lower court ruling made earlier this year on a lawsuit brought by Michael Gosselin of Mars Hill.
"I'm feeling terribly disappointed in the justice system because I thought truth and justice would prevail," Gosselin says. "And I'm very disappointed and really, really shocked."
Gosselin, a disabled veteran who suffers from PTSD, claimed in the suit that noise created by the turbines, which are situated about 1.7 miles from his home, have made his life so stressful that he's had to build a noise proof bunker in his garage.
"I'm going to have to continue sleeping in the garage until we can move out of the area I guess," he says.
Gosselin was seeking a buyout of his property for fair market value. While First Wind settled similar disputes with 18 neighboring landowners last year, Gosselin was excluded from that case because he was judged to be too far from the turbines.
First Wind spokesman John Lamontagne says the company is pleased with the ruling, and glad that all parties are spared the ordeal of a trial.
"We work very hard to be good neighbors in the Mars Hill community," Lamontagne says, "and I think we've been very successful when it comes to that."
In the ruling, the justices say the lower court did not err when finding against Gosselin, who claimed the turbines created a nuisance and emotional distress.
Claims of personal and property damage from related activities were also tossed out, and a new claim of breach of contract was not heard. Gosselin says he may petition the U.S. Supreme Court to review the ruling.

HEUVELTON - The town of Oswegatchies tentative $2,277,810 budget for 2014 was unveiled Monday to the town board.
The proposed spending plan is $95,509 greater than this years $2,182,201 budget and has a tax rate of $2.62 per $1,000 of assessed valuation, up from this years $2.59.
The tentative new budget carries with it a tax levy of $595,793, up from this years $581,237.
The towns taxable value increased for another year, this time to $226,618,695 from $223,767,278.
The town also for another year was able to stay under the state-imposed, 2-percent cap on property tax increases, said William E. Dashnaw, the towns budget officer.
Its going to take a slight change, he said. I dont see towns having a lot of fat in their budgets.
The towns annual contracts to provide fire protection to Heuvelton will cost $108,261 and to Morristown it will cost $18,250. This year, the respective expenses were $106,138 and $17,500.
Also, the towns annual allocation from the states Consolidated Highway Improvement Program increased from $135,180 to $173,333.
Voting in favor of the tentative budget were Supervisor Alfred Bud Nichols and councilors Bruce O. LaRose, Kenneth Wilson, Lillian O. LaRose, and Michael Stoner.
The final 2014 town budget will be put before a public hearing and a vote to approve at the boards Nov. 11 meeting.
In other business, the board accepted the resignation of Town Assessor Beverly J. Davis after 17 years of service. Her successor at annual salary of $26,000 is Mark L. Schnorr.

Hey John! I live in N. Durham, and while most of my projects aren't necessarily modern, I'd love to learn more about how to get the modern look from some folks in the area. Thanks for blogging about the opportunity!ReplyDelete
I am amazed at what beautiful work you do! You have a lovely family and your children are precious! I have followed your blog for the past year and I love to see what all you do. I love to quilt, but have been on a sabbatical from quilting for awhile. I need to get motivated and get back to my sewing. My stash is out of hand. Love & blessings from NC!ReplyDelete

Hi, I have just found your blog and think its amazing. I have been reading my way through your older entries and can't believe you have been doing this for such a short length of time. I live in the UK and modern quilting (or at least blogging about it) isn't as popular here as the US so I am mostly following US blogs. I start my Beginner Class next week and have just finished my first quilt so what you have learned in a couple of years really is an inspiration to me staring out. AReplyDelete
What a lovely family you have! I like your picks in the mosaics.ReplyDelete
Hey, did you get my fish fabric from Spoonflower? I'd love to see if you make anything out of it. I'd be honored, actually.
happy 2010 is right!! {you better get that full moon forest quilt done this year or i'm coming to get it!}ReplyDelete
Just dropping in to say "hi" and I've really enjoyed your blog, beautiful work! I'm quite partial to the embroidery :-)ReplyDelete

Maniac went for cop-killer bullets: police
The crazed gunman who wounded four Brooklyn cops was reaching for another rifle loaded with more powerful, armor-piercing bullets to inflict deadly injuries just before he was stopped, officials said yesterday. "If he would have been able to grab that gun, this would have been a lot more tragic. It would have been in God's hands," said a police official familiar with the case. "It's apparent [the suspect] wanted to shoot it out with cops and go out in a blaze of glory.'' Read More: New York Post
Cuomo at all-time high in latest poll; Bam and Gillibrand strong
Gov. Cuomo's job approval has hit an all-time high while President Obama and U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand are cruising toward re-election in deep blue New York this year, according to a new poll out today. The Siena College survey found New York voters divided over Obamacare and the potential legalization of casino gambling but strongly supportive of expanding the state's DNA databank and rolling back pension benefits for new public employees.

Liu's legal bills outweigh donations
Embattled city Comptroller John Liu's campaign treasury "is turning into a legal-defense fund."
Liu's campaign has spent more than $100,000 on lawyers and legal fees so far this year — more than he raised in campaign contributions. Liu only raised $82,305 from Jan. 1 through March 25. And the new report shows that Liu spent more than twice what he raised during the period — $162,354.92. The anemic fund-raising and ballooning legal bills come as Liu and his campaign operation face a federal criminal probe of their fund-raising activities. Read More: New York Post
Smoking banned in New York State Parks in New York City
In announcing the ban Monday, state officials said it was done to make state parks consistent with their city-run counterparts, where smoking was outlawed last year. Smoking will also be banned near pools and playgrounds at all other state parks outside of the city, as officials look to create "fresh-air" zones for parkgoers. Read More: Daily News
Park Officials Plan To Fix Up Vandalized Far Rockaway Playground By Summer
With the damages totalling more than $100,000, many Far Rockaway residents feared the city would halt construction on the Beach 29th playground, but the Parks Department says it will soon be back on schedule. "The contractor has been there a few times the manufacturer, we located the parts that we need, they're now on order," said Queens Park Commissioner Dorothy Lewandowski. "We hope to be back in line and open the playground sometime during the summer." Read More: NY1
Police Commissioner Ray Kelly fights the good fight in New York City's long war against guns
This time it was 3301 Nostrand Ave. in the first moments of Easter Sunday, four Emergency Service Unit cops, cops as good as any Ray Kelly has, coming through the door of Apartment 6-K, all being shot by a "very bad dude" — Kelly's words — named Nakwon Foxworth. Another bad dude in the City of New York with guns, one gun at least from the shoot-happy South. Read More: Daily News
Ire at home 'free' tenant
Queens landlord Debra Samuels says her only tenant hasn't paid the $1,590 rent in more than a year — putting her two-family home in jeopardy. "We haven't received a penny since February 2011 and she's upstairs chilling, living free." Samuels said. "I don't see any resolution to this thing." The cash crunch has put Samuels and her husband, who run a restaurant together, behind on their mortgage for the two-family Far Rockaway home. Read More: New York Post

Welcome to Spirit Steps
It is such a privilege to share with you once again. I do hope that you are all enjoying these studies. Please share them with all your friends, your house/cell groups.
Please click on the featured page links at the bottom of this message
God bless
Acts 2
42And they steadfastly persevered, devoting themselves constantly to the instruction and fellowship of the apostles, to the breaking of bread [including the Lord's Supper] and prayers.
43And a sense of awe (reverential fear) came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were performed through the apostles (the special messengers).
44And all who believed (who adhered to and trusted in and relied on Jesus Christ) were united and [together] they had everything in common;
45And they sold their possessions (both their landed property and their movable goods) and distributed the price among all, according as any had need.
46And day after day they regularly assembled in the temple with united purpose, and in their homes they broke bread [including the Lord's Supper]. They partook of their food with gladness and simplicity and generous hearts,
47Constantly praising God and being in favor and goodwill with all the people; and the Lord kept adding [to their number] daily those who were being saved [from spiritual death].
The church in these early chapters of the Book of Acts, was in it's purest form.
It was founded through the powerful preaching that happened on the Day of Pentecost.. it was Spirit filled, Spirit led and anointed by the Holy Spirit.
It did several things that made it grow, now if we replicate these in our modern church's, then God will bless them.. amen
Let us look at these.
Verse 42
It steadfastly persevered, the church was not easily put off. The disciples would have probably warned these new converts, that there would be a cost in following the Lord.
We need to warn and tell the people who we are sharing the gospel with, that there will be a cost in following the Lord, it means taking up your cross, it means going through persecution. Jesus warns in the parable of the sower, that many will fall away when persecution comes, it is time to stop preaching a soapy gospel and tell people the truth my friends.
Many Christians in today's day and age, say that they can exist without going to church, that church does not matter. The local fellowship is the agent, where christian fellowship can be activated and where it can grow. Believe me, when I first came back to the Lord in 2003, I tried to exist by reading Christian messages on the net, it didn't work.
My dear believing friend, you need to be involved within a church environment. It is where Christian service can happen. Let me share this, although I write on here and am active in doing that, I also am active in my own church and also under a shepherd.. my dear Pastor Mark. It is the place, where I sit under teaching and where I am a full member of the fellowship.
Please get involved in a Bible believing church.. and don't just be a pew warmer.
The principles of finding a good church are outlined in verse 42.
It Must preach the true Gospel.. Jesus Died and rose again and Is seated at the right hand of God.
It Must Practice the Lord's supper and Baptism.
It Must encourage Christian principles such as fellowship, Bible reading and prayer.
Verse 43
In a truly Spirit filled and anointed church, there is a sense of the awesomeness of God.. he alone is the one that is worshipped. Reverential fear is a thing, we need today in the church.. why?
Because if you have this, we are careful not to grieve our Father by sin.. amen. The fear of God, is the beginning of wisdom, it is where wisdom starts. We need a new vision of who God is.. when we have this..then we can progress.. we need to bow the knee at the awesomeness of God.. his glory , his majesty.
Many miracles were done by the apostles, but they were done in the environment of there being a deep fear of the Lord upon the whole church. They saw the power of God in action day after day and this fact, made them shudder with wonder. When we see the power of God in action.. what is our reaction?
Please note, that out of the awe and worship of God, came the miracles. Not the other way round, so often, we want to see miracles, before worship. Out of all our worship, flows everything including our service etc. When we are in awe at the power of God, like the early church were, God will show himself in miracle working power.
Verse 44
Church is difficult..when I look at my church.. different people from different backgrounds.. but with one thing in common.. saved by the precious blood of the Lamb.. amen
Unity within the body of Christ, is so powerful. That is why the devil spends so much time seeking to destroy the unity of the church, that is why it is crucial to keep unity in the bond of peace. It is essential, if God is ever going to work in your church, that unity is kept. It says earlier in the Chapter, that there were Jews from all over, hearing this sermon, but they were so together, no wonder the Lord worked in glorious power.. the church was living in Unity.
Maybe God can't work in your church, because it is not living in Unity. Unity in Christ = Blessing By GOD.
Verse 45
Unity in the early church, was not just about being together in person. It had it's practical outflow and so it must be for us. Many times in scripture and you know the places, we are told to help our brothers and sisters in the Lord. Indeed if we see, a brother or sister in need and send him/her away, with a nice prayer, we are in sin.
When was the last time, you helped one of your brothers and sisters in Christ?. If I/you, have the resources to help someone in your church, who needs help and you don't give it, then sin lies at my /your door my friend.
The Lord takes this very seriously, indeed if you look further on in Acts to Chapter 4:32-Chapter 5:11. If the Lord looks on it seriously, then I think, we should also .. amen
Verse 46
Two things here strike me:
Firstly, they loved being together worshipping God and sharing with each other, it was a source of amazing joy. They could hardly wait to praise and worship God. I wonder do we have the same attitude? Is Sunday fellowship or bible study or whatever you attend, a time you looked forward to with anticipation and joy?
Secondly, there was no pride within the church. They ate their food with simplicity, there was no one lording it over anyone else. There was no one saying.. look at me. They had real humility and care for one another. Do we in our church, have the same attitude?
Verse 47
By continually praising God, the church were only obeying the word of God as it states in Psalm 34:1. A church that is continually praising God, will have no time for backbiting, strife and gossip.. because praise to God, will be a never ending stream of blessing.
If your church, is in strife, is backbiting each other and full of strife.. God is saying to you today, that it is time to repent and stop doing these things and to start praising Him.. amen.
Praise pleases God.. he will give your church favour..in two ways.
Firstly with Man. Do you wonder why many church's have problems with secular agencies over many issues, maybe if they had a praising attitude, then the world would sit up and take notice. The world will take notice of the church, when the church stops complaining, about what it hasn't got and starts to be what it should be.. one body that praises God.. whatever the circumstances.. amen
Secondly with Himself. He will bless and increase your church and add to the church. He will expand your territory and grow your ministry.
Finally, you may think, that is this, cant and won't happen in today's world. You can't produce a formula for church growth.. but you can put strong principles in place.
There are many books out .. the Purpose Driven Church etc.. and these are good up to a point.. I am not knocking them.. but they need to be subject to the Only book that matters and that is the WORD OF GOD - THE BIBLE.
We can do all things and still we need the Holy Spirit.. to move in Power. Because it is God and Him alone that brings about revival through His sovereign Will.. but we can help by giving Him the opportunity to work in us.. amen.
I have only scratched the surface in this study and I would encourage you to delve into this passage in more detail.
God bless

The 1099 and W-2 statements are starting to arrive in your mailbox. And that can mean only one thing. It's time to file your 2013 taxes. It's also time to start thinking about your 2014 taxes.
To help ease the pain, we asked experts what you should consider as you start to empty out your shoebox or enter numbers into spreadsheets. Here's what they had to say.
Earned income before full retirement age
According to Mark Luscombe, a principal analyst with CCH Tax & Accounting North America, there's no difference, from a tax perspective, whether the Social Security payments are received before the full retirement age or after.
The full retirement age, he said, affects the amount of income that can be earned without reducing Social Security benefits. "Benefits can be reduced because of income before full retirement age but not after," said Luscombe.
How does that work? Well, according to Jerry Love, a CPA in Abilene, Texas, if a person is under the full retirement age, then their primary concern is did they have "too much" earned income.
In 2013, you were allowed to have up to $15,120 of earned income with no reduction to your Social Security retirement benefit. However, if your earned income exceeds $15,120, your retirement benefits were reduced $1 for every $2 over $15,120, Love said.
Here's Love's example: If a person was getting $800 a month or $9,600 for the year in Social Security benefits and they work and earn $24,720 (which is $9,600 over the $15,120 limit) during the year, their Social Security benefits would be reduced by $4,800 ($1 for every $2 they earned over the limit), but they would still receive $4,800 of their $9,600 in benefits for the year. ($9,600 - $4,800 = $4,800)
"If the person worked for someone else, there is not much they can do," said Love. "If, however, the person is self-employed then they should consider maximizing their deductions such as first-year depreciation on assets purchased." Read about Section 179 property in Form 4562, Depreciation and Amortization.
Of note, Love said, there is a higher limit for the earned income for the year a person reaches the FRA. For 2013 it was $40,080 and the reduction was $1 for every $3 over the earned income limit.
Love said it's important to note that this is earned income, "not total income that might include retirement income or interest and dividends."
Earned income after full retirement age
If you over the FRA, then you don't have a limit on your earned income, said Love. However, a portion of your Social Security benefits may be subject to tax if your provisional income is high enough after full retirement age, said Luscombe. Provisional income includes adjusted gross income plus one-half of Social Security benefits plus tax-exempt income.
So, depending of the level of provisional income, either 0%, 50% or 85% of Social Security benefits may be subject to income tax.
So what's the tax trap?
"Recent retirees receiving Social Security benefits for the first time may find that they have to worry about estimated tax payments during the year or face an underpayment of estimated tax penalty on April 15," he said. "This can happen because not only are Social Security benefits being received for the first time but also tax-exempt income that had not been subject to tax before are considered in calculating the portion of Social Security benefits subject to tax."
Another tax item that trips up retirees has to do with required minimum distributions, or RMDs, which start at age 70½. RMDs, said Luscombe, apply to 401(k) plans and traditional IRAs but not to Roth IRAs, which are generally not subject to required minimum distributions nor subject to tax on distribution. RMDs, Luscombe noted, are based on one of the IRS' life expectancy tables. And distributions from IRAs and 401(k)s are subject to tax at ordinary income-tax rates.

Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon – World Population Day, 11 July 2009
The Working Group on Girls partnered with the UN Department of Public Information to produce the April 1, 2010 NGO Briefing entitled, "Girls' Education" An End to Poverty?"
Established as a human right over 60 years ago, education is unquestionably a valuable investment for countries in the development of their people, allowing them in turn to make better lives for themselves. Nowhere is this more important than in developing countries, and most specifically among the adolescent female population. According to an important study on the subject by the Center for Global Development, entitled Girls Count: A Global Investment and Action Agenda: "without adequate skills and training, and without access to economic self-sufficiency, many girls in developing countries enter into child marriages. One in seven girls in developing countries marry by age 15, and in 15 countries throughout South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa, almost half of all girls are married before age 18." There is also a very strong link between lack of education, gender inequality and poverty. This is underscored by the Girls Count study: "approximately one-sixth of the world's young people live on less than two dollars a day….This level of extreme poverty determines the lives and possibilities for many young women and girls, such as the 122 million girls in sub-Saharan Africa who live on less than one dollar a day."
Indeed, for girls and women living in poverty, education is not only the key to a brighter future but the means for survival and a critical driver for economic growth worldwide. Fortunately, considerable progress has been made towards shrinking the gender gap in education: overall female enrollment at the primary level in low-income countries has grown from 87% in 1990 to 94% in 2004, the result of governments among others, recognizing the centrality of girls' education to development.
This Briefing focused on the issue of girls' education and its connection to development. Specifically, the panel examined how the issue is being addressed in the sub-Saharan country of Benin, where significant strides have been made during the past decade to eliminate gender disparity in primary and secondary schools. Severe constraints and challenges nevertheless remain for the country to reach the goal of universal education, and adequate action is necessary to overcome obstacles that girls face in becoming productive women and citizens. To help the attendees better understand the challenges of girls' education in Benin, part of the documentary "Time for School," produced by Channel Thirteen and aired on their program "Wide Angle" was screened. The film follows seven children from around the world, including a young girl from Benin, Nanavi, in their struggles to receive an education.
As we continue to promote the goal of "Education for All" advocated by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization [UNESCO] we hope this Briefing will serve as a further motivation for NGOs who work in the arena of education for girls.

The Ogdensburg Public Librarys annual fall book sale wraps up today a success.
I think were at about $2,500 at this point and weve still got the bag sale on Saturday, Executive Director Wayne L. Miller said Friday.
Originally held Nov. 7 through 9, the book sale continued by accident of bad weather when the placards promoting the event were left outside the library at 312 Washington St. after it was supposed to be over.
And people kept coming.
Its been a trickle, but its been a day-long trickle, Mr. Miller said. The busy-ness of the weekend has been replaced by a much more relaxing pace. All week long there have been a few people at a time taking their time looking through the couple of thousand items left, or about half of the original stock. Several people have stopped in multiple times on their lunch hours or their way home from work. It has been a pleasant experience for all concerned.
The popularity of the spring and fall book sales, Mr. Miller said, is enduring.
The book sale tends to generate in the range of $1,500 to $2,500 for the Friends of the Library to use in support of library programs, he said. This sale continues to be exceptional and when complete may be the best in my five years here. There are several contributing factors including the many donations of materials that helped us have a big selection of not just books, tremendous media support and a wonderful community turnout.
The weather helped, too, although in a peculiar way.
The high winds last Thursday (Nov. 7) caused us to heavily anchor the sandwich signs, Mr. Miller said. This meant the staff on duty Saturday were not physically able to bring in those signs. When the library reopened this week, people saw the signs and asked if the sale was continuing. Everything was being left in place until after the bag sale, so we said, Sure thing.
The $2 bag sale is from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Arlington, TX (Sports Network) - Nate Engesser scored a game-high 14 points, the only player in double figures, as he helped lead the Denver Pioneers to a 50-35 win over the Texas-Arlington Mavericks in Western Athletic Conference play at College Park Center.
Engesser came off the bench to hit 4-of-8 shots from 3-point range in just 12 minutes of action for the Pioneers (5-7, 1-1 WAC) as they posted their second win in the last three outings.
The Mavericks (6-4, 1-1) were led by Karol Gruszecki with eight points, but the remaining four starters combined to shoot only 6-of-30 from the floor as the squad bowed for the second time in three games.
Both teams shot the ball poorly from the floor in the first half, with Denver making a mere 7-of-25 (.280), but six of those conversions came from behind the 3-point line which afforded the squad a 21-17 lead at the break.
UTA, which shot just 31.8 percent from the field through the first 20 minutes, returned for the second half and made only 24.0 percent, making it that much easier for the Pioneers to register the 15-point win.
The Mavericks ended up with more turnovers (18) than made field goals (13) in their lowest-scoring game since losing a 36-31 decision to SMU back on Dec. 16, 1989.

Denver Child Support Services believes every child deserves emotional, medical and financial support from both of their parents. Financial commitment by parents, as well as their involvement in their children's lives, is very important for a child's well being.
Denver Child Support works to ensure children receive the support they need even though they may not live with both of their parents.
We work to help children and their parents by:
Denver Child Support will help you get started with applying for and receiving services such as locating the non-custodial parent, establishing paternity, and establishing a child support or medical support order.
Applying for Denver Child Support Services
If you are not currently receiving TANF (financial assistance from the state), please use this Child Support Application Form/Spanish Child Support Application Form or call Denver Child Support Customer Service at (720) 944-2960 and ask for a NON-TANF Application packet.
Once you have filled out the application, you can call customer service at (720) 944-2960 to request an appointment for an interview. You will bring the application with you when you come to our offices for the interview.
If you come to our offices at 1200 Federal Blvd. in Denver, you will be able to pick up an application and set an appointment for an interview at that time, but you will not be able to drop off your application -- we accept applications only during the interview.
If you are currently receiving TANF and you are a resident of Denver county, you are automatically referred to Denver Child Support. You can contact Denver Child Support Customer Service at (720) 944-2960 or email us at email@example.com to get information about your case.
To help us process your application, you may be asked to provide the following information about the other parent if you know it:
After you apply for services and we have all the necessary information for your case, a Child Support technician will provide locate, establishment, and/or enforcement services.
Establishing a Child Support Order
If there is no previous child support order, a Child Support technician will work to create a child support order through an administrative and negotiating process. If an agreement cannot be reached with the non-custodial parent, the technician will refer the case for a court hearing. The technician will provide information about the hearing at that time if necessary.
Paternity is the legally-established relationship between a father and his child.
Benefits of Establishing Paternity
Establishing Paternity
Paternity can be established by:
Payment amounts are determined by reviewing both parents' income and following the Colorado Child Support Guidelines. Credit may be given for other child support payments being made, day care expenses, medical insurance premiums for the child(ren), or other factors.
The parent who is ordered to pay child support will send payments to the Family Support Registry (FSR), Colorado's centralized child support collection unit. The FSR processes payments and distributes funds to the custodial parent.
To receive credit for making a child support payment, the non-custodial parent must make the payment directly to the FSR unless authorized by the court to pay the custodial parent directly.
You may make your payment by check, money order, Western Union, direct withdrawal from a bank account, or wage witholding.
To check if a child support payment has been made or received, please call 303-299-9123 (or toll-free 800-374-6558) or email us at email@example.com.
Send check, money order, and Western Union payments to:
Family Support Registry
PO Box 2171
Denver, CO 80201-2171
Always include your FSR number with or on your payment.
Receiving child support payments
You may choose to receive payments from FSR as direct deposits to a bank account or through an FSR Visa card.
Once a parent has been ordered to pay child support, he or she must make arrangements to make those payments according to the order. Failure to make those arrangements or to continue making payments can result in steps being taken to enforce the child support order through legal or administrative methods.
Failure to pay child support may result in one or more of the following:
If anything changes in your circumstances or other aspects related to your case, do not stop making payments. Contact your Child Support representative to explain the details and find out what steps you should take.
It is very important that we have your most up-to-date address! You must make sure we have your current address. If you have moved recently or are planning to move, please tell us your new address as soon as possible.
We want to help families by making sure that child support orders fit each family's current circumstances. If there have been changes in either parent's life, child support may need to change, too. You must have an open case with us to request a review, but either parent can make the request.
The amount of child support ordered might be changed if one or more of the following has happened:
Process for changing a Child Support Order
Either parent can request a review of the Child Support Order. To modify an order, we use a "review and adjustment" process. The first step in that process is gathering information from both parents about income and expenses or other financial obligations. We may ask either or both parent(s) to come to our offices during the review process.
We will review all information provided to determine if there is a valid request and if there is, to determine the amount of the payments in the new child support order. Both parents will have the opportunity to provide input during the process.
Your current child support order is still in effect while your request is being reviewed and child support payments must continue to be made until a new order has been approved.
Requesting a Review
Send your request in writing to technician who is handling your case.
Please include the following information as part of your request:
You can complete this Financial Statement (Word document) and include it with your written request for review. If you do not provide this form with your request, we will send you a form for you to complete and send back to us.
You can also complete the Request for Review form on the Colorado Child Support Enforcement web site.
Please contact the technician handling your case if you have specific questions or need additional help with this process.
If you have suggestions, questions or concerns about the Child Support Services program, please email us at email@example.com.
We are available 8 a.m. - 4:30 p.m., Monday - Friday.
If you are currently paying or receiving child support:
To find out about a Child Support payment that you are waiting for or that you have sent, please call the Family Support Registry (FSR) at (303) 299-9123 (or toll free at 800-374-6558).
It is very important that we have your most up-to-date address! Whether you pay child support or receive child support, you must make sure we have your current address. If you have moved recently or are planning to move, please tell us your new address as soon as possible.
The State of Colorado's Child Support Enforcement web site has extensive information for parents, employers, child support technicians, and partner agencies.

10 U.S. Code § 7667 - Transfer of prize property to another district for sale
(a) In the case of any prize property ordered to be sold, if the court believes that it will be in the interest of all parties to have the property sold in a judicial district other than the one in which the proceedings are pending, the court may direct the marshal to transfer the property to the district selected by the court for the sale, and to insure it. In such a case the court shall give the marshal proper orders as to the time and manner of conducting the sale.
(b) When so ordered the marshal shall transfer the property and keep it safely. He is responsible for its sale in the same manner as if the property were in his own district and for the deposit of the gross proceeds with the Treasurer of the United States or public depositary nearest to the place of sale, subject to the order of the court for the district where the adjudication is pending.
(c) The necessary expenses of insuring, transferring, receiving, keeping, and selling the property are a charge upon it and upon the proceeds. Whenever any such expense is paid in advance by the marshal, any amount not repaid to him from the proceeds shall be allowed to him as in the case of expenses incurred in suits in which the United States is a party.
(d) If the Secretary of the Navy believes that it will be in the interest of all parties to have the property sold in a judicial district other than the one in which the proceedings are pending, he may, either by a general regulation or by a special direction in the cause, require the marshal to transfer the property from the district in which the judicial proceedings are pending to any other district for sale. In such a case proceedings shall be had as if the transfer had been made by order of the court.

34 U.S.C. 1145 and this section reflect the Act of May 29, 1920, ch. 214, § 1,41 Stat. 654, which requires substitution of "Treasurer of the United States or public depositary" for "assistant treasurer".
In subsection (b) the words "He is responsible for its sale" are substituted for the words "It shall be the duty of the marshal to * * * sell the same", because, as shown in § 7666 of this title, the marshal does not sell the property himself but supervises the auctioneer who conducts the sale.

This review is from AVERY Quarter-Fold Greeting Card - Tall:
The answer to a previous question stated that the text (and presumably the pictures) would be rotated when printed. This did not happen, using Word under XP to HPPhotosmart C6380.
The template does divide the page into quadrants, and automatically adjusts for large bold fonts in three quadrants and small text at the bottom of the fourth, lower left quadrant.
This review is from AVERY Quarter-Fold Greeting Card - Tall:
I love making my own greeting cards! They are one of a kind and I can customize them for each person or occasion making them part of the gift. I can add picutres or grafics from my computer, add their name and more. Many compliments and requests for more. Save money making your own cards rather than the $3-$5 per card at the store. I even helped my daughter with her wedding making announcement cards and later baby shower invites. Avery makes it easy!
