Women Leading the Way
Fairtrade recognizes the vital role of women in agriculture on International Women's Day
Today is International Women's Day – and it's high time that women around the world get the recognition they deserve.
Around 70% of agricultural work is done by women, according to FAO figures. Yet a recent TWIN report finds that women's crucial role in farming is often unrecognised, unpaid and invisible. Men own most of the land and take responsibility for transporting crops to market, and subsequently they retain much of the control over household income.
Recognizing and investing in women farmers is good for development. The report found that investing in programmes targeted at women smallholders can have a positive impact on education, health and food security.
At Fairtrade many women are catalysts for change in many of their communities. One in four Fairtrade producers is a woman, and on plantations this figure is even higher, with women making up 47 percent of hired workers in Fairtrade. Women are active in all aspects of Fairtrade, from farming to processing, and in some cases, management of producer organizations and cooperatives.
Each of the women we feature below is taking on a leadership role in their own way, and providing powerful examples to others.
"It's our job to educate people and tell them, 'you have a right to have your say.'"
Alida Strauss, General Manager, Heiveld Cooperative
A modest, but smart young woman, Alida left her parent's remote rooibos farm to attend school in Cape Town, 400 kilometres away. When she returned, the Heiveld cooperative had recently formed, enabling black farmers to unite in a cooperative for the first time. She successfully applied for the job of bookkeeper for the cooperative in 2002, and has worked there ever since, getting promoted to General Manager in 2010.
From small beginnings with just 14 members and very little technical knowledge or marketing savvy, Heiveld has grown to 64, and exports organic rooibos tea around the world.
Behind Alida's unassuming demeanour lies a passion for her work and her community, and a determination to pass this on to young people. She is glad she had the opportunity to return, and wants other young people to do the same.
"At Heiveld, we try to do things to keep people here, to make it exciting for them and give them the self-confidence to believe in themselves," says Alida.
Her message to the young people in her village: "Go get your education, but come back and do something for your community".
Alida holds talks at the local school, and invites teachers to bring their students on excursions to the cooperative. Heiveld uses a portion of the Fairtrade Premium to enable young people to go to university in Cape Town with the hope that they will bring their new knowledge back to the community.
The job is not without its challenges, but Alida is proud of what she and others in the cooperative have achieved, and encourages others to feel the same.
"I've learned a lot and I am still learning," she explains. "But it's our job to educate people and tell them, 'you have a right to have your say: it's your cooperative. Be proud of what's yours'."
Sowing Seeds of Change
The Seed Guardians of Chetna Organic, India
In a country where 90% of all cotton is genetically modified, the women of Chetna Organic in India are playing a pivotal role in the fight to preserve non-GM cotton.
"Women have always been the custodians who have protected seed. This has steadily disappeared," says Arun Ambatipudi of Chetna Organic. "We are now working to revive and preserve this practice through developing women seed guardians. When women become seed guardians, it means women have a greater say."
By protecting and collecting the seeds, these women are not only preserving organic farming, but providing a vital lifeline to the farmers. Instead of being stuck buying new cotton seed year after year, farmers can now plant the preserved seeds. That saves them huge costs, and helps to make farming viable and sustainable for them.
"We know that the situation won't change overnight. But we are seeing successes of women seed guardians gaining respect and decision power," Arun adds.

Taking a stand against climate change
Magda Reza, Sonomoro coffee cooperative, Peru
For Magda there is one single threat to the future of her small coffee farm and her entire cooperative: climate change and its devastating effect on their farms. Seasons are changing and rainfall has become unpredictable. Last year was particularly challenging for her and many others in Latin America, as a fungus known as "La Roya" wiped out large numbers of coffee bushes, and with it many farmers' main source of income.
But the 57 year old mother of five does not give up so easily. Together with nine other farmers from her cooperative, Magda took part in a training programme organized by Fairtrade, Twin Trading and Lidl, a chain of German grocery stores.
A demonstration farm was established where farmers can learn about best practices to help mitigate the effects of climate change and manage their land better, including shade and weed management, composting, treatment of waste water, and more. Now she is taking her new-found knowledge to train others in her cooperative, so they are better equipped to confront the effects of climate change. Watch a film about the project here.
"For me, it's been very important this work with Fairtrade on climate change and environment because we learn to take care of our environment and improve our farming techniques," said Magda.
Magda sees herself as an ambassador – for the other members of her cooperative – but now also for the public. Last September she was invited to Germany as part of the annual Fairtrade Fortnight there, and toured the country, explaining to schools, community groups and businesses the need for Fairtrade and climate change support.
"We don't want charity," said Magda, during a video chat with Fairtrade supporters in Germany. "We just want the opportunity to work together with you, and to work our own way out of the challenges we face."

Morningstar is an independent service that rates mutual funds and variable annuities.
For each fund/account with at least a three-year history, Morningstar calculates a Morningstar Rating™ based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a fund's/account's monthly performance (including the effects of sales charges, loads, and redemption fees), placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. Where applicable, Morningstar's performance rankings are based on linked performance that considers the differences in expense ratios, while actual performance data shown does not reflect such differences.
The top 10 percent of funds/accounts in a category receive five stars, the next 22.5 percent receive four stars, and the next 35 percent receive three stars, the next 22.5 percent receive two stars and the bottom 10 percent receive one star. (Each share class is counted as a fraction of one fund/account within this scale and rated separately, which may cause slight variations in the distribution percentages.) Morningstar proprietary ratings on U.S.-domiciled funds/accounts reflect historical risk-adjusted performance, are subject to change every month. They are derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five- and ten-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics. Please note, Morningstar now rates group variable annuities within the open-end mutual fund universe.

Europe's slow-motion economic collapse continues apace as Eurozone governments and banks continue to wring their hands over what to do to postpone the inevitable Greek default. And now there's a new wrinkle: Italy, whose level of sovereign indebtedness relative to GDP is second only to that of Greece, has suddenly appeared on investors' radar screens. If Italy — the second largest economy in the Eurozone — goes the way of Greece, Ireland, and Portugal, there will not be enough money in Europe's rapidly-dwindling rescue fund (the European Financial Stability Facility or EFSF) to effect a bailout.
The impasse over Greece is bad enough. Several countries in the European Union, including the Netherlands and Germany, expect private holders — large European banks — of Greek bonds to share some of the burden for the next Greek bailout, reckoned at some €110 billion. But European megabanks, given the precedents set with numerous recent taxpayer-funded bailouts on both sides of the Atlantic, are refusing to consider losing any of their own money. And all sides are finally awakening to the realization that a Greek default in the form of some kind of debt restructuring is inevitable. As Julian Toyer and Dan Flynn of Reuters report:

Detailed Description:
AIDS and tuberculosis are two international and national priority public health problems. The best time for starting antiretroviral therapy in patients with AIDS and active tuberculosis is not clear, despite of the guidelines regarding CD4+ count. The debate surrounding this issue is mainly due to the difficulty among adherence of anti-MTb and anti-HIV treatment, the pharmacological interaction, the adverse events related to drugs and the risk of inflammatory reconstitution syndrome, especially in patients with advanced HIV infection. Moreover, there is great debate upon the lack of knowledge of the degree of immune reconstitution throughout time against Mtb induced by the anti-HIV therapy.

Many IRA accounts owners would like to donate some of their retirement assets to charity before they die. Well, the new fiscal-cliff law contains some good news for those who have such desires and the wherewithal. The American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 has extended for a year the qualified charitable distributions provision that allows them to do that.
"I am quite pleased that Congress got a little something right," said Dharmesh Vora of Vora Financial Group.
By way of background, Americans who wanted to donate their retirement assets to charities on a tax-free basis during their lifetime were unable to do so until the Pension Protection Act of 2006, according to Denise Appleby, the founder of the Appleby Retirement Dictionary. Before that, the donation was treated as a regular distribution and ordinary income, Appleby noted in a recent post. But the PPA included a provision that allowed eligible individuals to make nontaxable distributions from certain types of retirement plans to eligible charities. Those distributions, or QCDs were limited to $100,000 per year and applied only to distributions that occurred from 2006 to 2011. But the provision was extended under the ATRA, the new fiscal-cliff tax law, according to Appleby.

"The generation that is currently in the Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) stage of their retirement accounts was one of the best generations at saving money," said Vora. "They did not live beyond their means. Many have several sources of income—pensions, Social Security, investment income—and may not have a need for the income from their IRA."
Now this option for donating retirement assets to charity, even with the provisions of PPA, is not open-ended. It's limited to the type of retirement assets that can be gifted, the individuals who are eligible, and the type of charity to which the donation can be made.
Those who want to gift their retirement assets to a charity under this provision must answer these questions: Am I old enough? Does my retirement account qualify? Does the charity qualify?
The answer to these questions will determine eligibility to donate the retirement assets to the charity on a tax-free basis, Appleby wrote in an article that detailed the QCD rules, including the special provisions made under the fiscal cliff bill. Read Donating Retirement Assets to Charities.
Other advisers, meanwhile, shared these points.
Are you old enough?
A taxpayer must be at least 70½ years old to do a QCD from an IRA, said Terry Prather, a wealth planner with Payne Wealth Partners. And that, for some reason, is different than when an IRA account must take an RMD. "Just because the taxpayer will reach age 70½ doesn't mean he's eligible for a QCD," said Prather. "He must actually have reached age 70½ when the distribution occurs."
Does my charity qualify?
The QCD must go to a qualified charity, which Prather said is the same requirement as deducting charitable donations. "Also, the taxpayer is required to obtain an appropriate receipt from the charity," he said.
Hal Rogers of Gold Tree Financial said it's likely that the charity you are working with knows the rules, but you can't count on this. His advice: Coordinate any QCDs with your tax return preparer or your financial adviser before initiating the process to make sure you don't overlook a critical step in the actual process of distribution from the plan and contribution to the charity.
By the way, you could be in for a big surprise if the distribution isn't made directly to the charity, said Jeremy Portnoff of Portnoff Financial. "If they take the distribution payable to themselves and then give to charity, it doesn't work the same," he said. "In such a case they would have to realize the income and then get any applicable charitable deduction. The QCD is much more tax efficient."
Others agree. "The bottom line is that, given this opportunity, if an IRA account owner is going to give money to a charity from qualified account, they should use the direct transfer, without showing the income procedure," said Rogers.

PF Series Wrinkle Black Air Intake System (PF9024WB) by Injen®, with Power-Flow Box. The PF Series Air Intake System is made for high performance cars, trucks and SUVs. It features a larger air filter and a larger diameter air intake tube to meet the airflow demands of the large engines in these vehicles.
- A large air filter and large diameter air intake tube to maximize air volume
- Uses the patented MR Technology tuning process to ensure the air/fuel ratio is within optimum limits
- Custom designed and engineered to deliver maximum power for each specific vehicle
- Improves acceleration and fuel economy
- Every system includes the EA Nanofiber dry air filter
- Air intake pipe constructed of mandrel-bent 6061 aluminum or cast aluminum for smooth airflow
- Comes complete with all necessary mounting hardware and comprehensive installation instructions
- Street Legal in most States
- Backed by a Limited Lifetime Warranty
- Proudly manufactured in the USA
The big "deep breathing" engine in your high performance car, truck or SUV needs a PF Series High-Flow Air Intake System to unleash all of its power. The system starts with a large EA Nanofiber dry air filter, installed in place of the restrictive factory airbox. The large increase in filter area over the stock airbox filter results in a huge increase in airflow and a greater capacity to capture and hold dirt.
The increased airflow continues with a free-flowing mandrel-bent or cast aluminum intake tube in place of the factory air path. The use of a casting was necessitated on some applications to maximize the airflow and for fitment reasons. All kits include a heat shield that seals against the hood and isolates the filter from engine heat, or the Injen Powerflow Box. The Powerflow Box incorporates an EA Nanofiber dry air filter as well as a velocity stack and air stabilizer, and a cold air inducer, all contained in an aluminum housing to protect the filter from heat. The reduction in air intake temperature results in a cooler, denser air intake charge and even more horsepower. So, instead of power-robbing hot air squeezing through a restrictive air filter and intake duct, your engine is taking in huge quantities of cool air surging through free-flowing tubing. The result is increased horsepower and torque, and improved performance.
But unlike other air intake systems, Injen's patented MR (Mega Ram) Technology attains this increased intake airflow and performance while maintaining a safe air/fuel ratio. Injen steps down the diameter of the intake tube where the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor mounts, enabling the sensor to detect airflow within established parameters. The engine control computer can then maintain the proper air/fuel ratio and optimize horsepower and torque. Simply put, MR Technology tunes the intake system to avoid the necessity of recalibrating the MAF sensor, and prevents your engine from running too lean or too rich. With MR Technology, Injen created "The World's First Tuned Intake System", delivering optimum performance with a factory safe air/fuel ratio.
The PF system is carefully engineered, with CNC machined brackets and adapters, to ensure an exact fit. Installation can be accomplished with simple hand tools and everything necessary for installation is supplied, including comprehensive instructions. The PF Series Air Intake System is backed by a Limited Lifetime Warranty.386.87Brand: Injen Part Number: PF9024WB UPC: 843115014193
Injen Technology Company, Ltd., based in Pomona, California, was formed as a sister company to RD Metal Works in 1998, to utilize the experience and design capabilities that RD Metal Works had gained designing and manufacturing air intake kits for leading air filter and intake manufacturers. Since that time, the company has made it a point to stay at the forefront of performance technology, continually setting new standards for quality and improving their engineering and manufacturing capabilities. This enables Injen to regularly introduce new, cutting edge products to market and has required the company to continually expand to meet the demand for those products. Today, Injen continues to set the industry benchmark for innovation, styling and technology.

SWEENEYS CORNER - A 34-year-old Winthrop man suffered minor burns to his face and arms late Sunday afternoon after an apparent propane explosion destroyed his home late Sunday afternoon at 1407 County Route 49 in the town of Stockholm.
Brasher-Winthrop Fire Chief Pappy Kowalchuk said flames were shooting out the doors and windows and from underneath the eaves when firefighters arrived on the scene. It was some type of explosion. Both ends of the house were blown out, he said.
Joshua J. Montgomery, who lived alone in the small, single story residence, had been pulled out of the burning home by his neighbor, Dale Van Steen, before firefighters arrived on scene.
Mr. Montgomery was transported to Canton-Potsdam Hospital by Tri-Town Rescue for treatment of his injuries. Melvin Montgomery said his son suffered only minor injuries. It singed him a little bit. Im just thankful Dale was right there to get him. He was real lucky. I dont give two ... about the house, he said.
Mr. Van Steen said he and his wife were in their house, just a few yards away, when they heard the explosion. My wife looked out and said, Its Joshs house. I took off running barefoot and when I got there I saw flames inside, he recalled.
Mr. Van Steen said he initially tried to open the front door, but he was unable to get inside the residence. He said he then noticed Joshua was sticking him arm out of a small hole in the wall that had been created by the explosion. He said he kicked the wall to open the hole and was able to pull the slender fire victim to safety, take him to his grandmothers house and call 911.
It went up quick, like a matchbox, he noted.
The elder Mr. Montgomery said he was at his home a short distance away when he heard the explosion and was unaware his son had escaped from his home when he arrived at the fire scene. The younger Mr. Montgomery has significant medical issues.
He said he too was unsuccessful in getting the door open. I gave it three knocks and couldnt get it open. It was wedged shut from the explosion. Then my son, Ziggy (Jonathan) stepped back, took off running, hit that door and blew it right out. I was just going in the house when somebody yelled out, We got him out, he said.
The fire victims father said his son told him he had smelled gas, then been knocked out of his chair and saw flames when he looked up.
The elder Mr. Montgomery said when he had entered his sons home he had seen flames coming out from behind the water heater. It looked like a blow torch behind the water heater and the weird thing is it isnt gas. Its an electric water heater. The first thing I did was turn off the gas, he said.
The elder Mr. Montgomery said his sons cottage was one of three family members homes on the property. Joshua lived alone in his home.
West Stockholm firefighters provided mutual aid at the scene.

Football Fever for Fairtrade Farmers
It wasn't quite Wembley or Camp Nou, but for one group of Indian cotton producers it was the biggest soccer event of the year – the final of their Fairtrade Football tournament!
Cotton farmers from Pratima Organic Grower Group in Orissa, India, organised a football tournament to promote Fairtrade in their area. The group wanted to raise awareness of Fairtrade amongst local decision-makers and their communities, and show the benefits of being Fairtrade certified. Several villages took part in the tournament before the big final on 21 March.
The two village teams in the final battled it out for the Fairtrade trophy kitted out in Fairtrade cotton t-shirts provided by the company that buys their cotton. They were cheered on by people from the surrounding villages, local officials and Fairtrade International staff, who were on a visit to the area and were invited to present the trophy to the winning team.
"It was really great that this was an idea that came from the producers, not something organised by an outsider," said Xavier Huchet, Head of PSR Asia. "They really tried to use the event to promote Fairtrade and show what it's all about".
Following the final, the farmers proudly displayed two new tractors they had bought with the Fairtrade Premium, which they will use to take their cotton to the processing unit, and bicycles to help them travel around more easily.
"There was a fantastic atmosphere, it was like the final of the World Cup!" laughed Xavier. "People in the area certainly know about Fairtrade now."

Men's Tennis Remains Undefeated at Home with 5-2 Win over UNO
OMAHA, Neb. - The Creighton men's tennis team remained undefeated at home this season after defeating Nebraska Omaha 5-2 at the Koch Family Tennis Center Friday afternoon.
Creighton (6-4) recorded its fourth straight 5-2 decision at home this year to extend its home unbeaten streak to 4-0. Eight of the Bluejays matches, including each of the last seven, have resulted in 5-2 decisions. CU is 6-2 in those contests.
The Bluejays won the doubles point to begin the match then took four of six singles matches from UNO (4-7).
On doubles court three, CU sophomore Elliott Baker and freshman August Nysted made quick work of UNO's Nathan Greteman and Matt Frost 8-1. CU senior Ryan Norman and freshman Nick Thompson clinched the doubles point at the top spot with an 8-6 defeat of Conner Tieszen and Carlos Ramos Salazar.
At No. 2 doubles, UNO claimed a 7-6 victory as the Maverick duo of Eric McKnight and John Ellis edged the Creighton tandem of senior Sean Mathison and freshman Brandon Lee.
Omaha tied the match after a 6-2, 6-2 victory by Tieszen over Norman at the top singles slot. CU moved ahead 2-1 after CU's Lee toppled Ramos Salazar 6-2, 6-2 on court five.
Mathison won his fourth consecutive singles match after defeating McKnight 6-4, 6-1 on court two and pushed the Bluejay lead to 3-1.
Maverick Connor Larson posted a three-set come-from-behind win on court four over CU freshman Quinn Dippel. The Bluejay opened the match with a 6-4 first-set victory. But Larson came back to win the second stanza 6-2 to force a deciding set. Larson carried the momentum into the third to claim a 6-0 third-set win to claim a point.
Baker secured the team match point for Creighton after his 6-4, 6-3 decision over Ellis on court three. CU freshman Anthony Rauschenbach went the distance for a victory at the No. 6 position. UNO's Frost won the first stanza 6-4 before Rauschenbach even the match at one set apiece with a 7-6 victory in set two. In the third-set superbreaker the CU freshman claimed the Jays' final point with a 10-6 win.

Josh Allen '12 finds job opportunity he was looking for with California-based environmental services
Over the past several years, the news has been filled with stories about recent college graduates who are having a difficult time finding work - of any kind - let alone in their field of study.

CLEVELAND -- Dr. Melissa Osborn, an expert at the MetroHealth Medical Center Infectious Diseases Unit, fielded several questions from Channel 3 viewers over the last few days about the recent rise in flu cases in Ohio.
Below are her responses to some of the most popular questions from real people.
Ally Smith Jordan: What are the factors that can cause influenza to be fatal?
Most people who die from the flu have another illness that puts them at risk for complications, like diabetes, cancer, or lung disease. People over 65 are also at greater risk for dying from the flu. In most fatal cases, pneumonia develops from the flu itself or bacterial pneumonia on top of the flu.
Cheryl Escott Levinsky: Is it too late to get a flu shot?
Absolutely not! It takes about two weeks for your body to respond to the shot before you are protected. Even if you get the shot, it's still important to continue to clean your hands frequently (washing or hand sanitizer) and cover your cough to protect yourself against other respiratory viruses.
Donna Vest-Hare: How soon after your feeling a little better should you return to work?
People become contagious about 24 hours before that start to feel sick and stay that way for 2 to 3 days. The virus is totally gone after 5 to 10 days. Most people will start to feel better after 3 to 4 days of illness and can probably return to work. Healthcare workers and others who work with people who might be immunocompromised should refer to their human resources policies about when to return to work.
Tammy Daws: Is this year's vaccine a good match for the flu?
I've heard people who've been to a doctor with symptoms that they "have a strain not covered by the vaccine." According to the CDC website, it was a 90% match.
Most of the circulating strains this year were included in the vaccine. You are right that about 10% of the strains typed by the CDC were strains NOT in the vaccine. For the most part, however, this year's vaccine was a good match. The main strains that are circulating are seasonal influenza A (not H1N1) and some influenza B. In most cases, your doctor will not do typing on your flu strain to see what kind it is, because the treatment is the same for all of them.
Melinda Angel: Once you are exposed to the flu virus, how long does it take to get the flu, or be in the clear?
The "incubation period" (time from exposure to illness) is 1 to 2 days. The onset of illness is sometimes very abrupt. The first symptoms are usually fever and chills, body aches, headaches and feeling "blah." These symptoms are usually not seen with the common cold. There are some respiratory symptoms (cough, sore throat, runny nose) with both.
Joyce Kemmett: Why does getting the flu shot make you get the flu after you get the shot? The doctor said it would be good for my oldest to get the shot because he had asthma, but after he did, it was the worst winter -- he was always sick! That was when he was 2. Now he's almost 9 and my family refuses to get the flu shot.
It's important to realize that the flu shot won't keep you from getting sick; it will only keep you from getting influenza! There are a LOT of other winter respiratory viruses that cause cold symptoms (and asthma flares) besides the flu. Most children get 6 to 8 respiratory infections per year, maybe more if they are in daycare. Influenza can be distinguished from other cold viruses because it causes more body aches, fevers and lack of appetite than other viruses, although sometimes it can be hard to tell without a special test for the flu. Children with asthma are at higher risk for complications from influenza. I would recommend giving it another chance!
The flu shot itself can't cause the flu. The injectable flu vaccine uses a killed virus that can't make you sick. The nasal flu vaccine uses a live virus that has been inactivated and can't make you sick.

11 U.S. Code § 1123 - Contents of plan
(a) Notwithstanding any otherwise applicable nonbankruptcy law, a plan shall—
(1) designate, subject to section 1122 of this title, classes of claims, other than claims of a kind specified in section 507 (a)(2), 507 (a)(3), or 507 (a)(8) of this title, and classes of interests;
(4) provide the same treatment for each claim or interest of a particular class, unless the holder of a particular claim or interest agrees to a less favorable treatment of such particular claim or interest;
(5) provide adequate means for the plan's implementation, such as—
(B) transfer of all or any part of the property of the estate to one or more entities, whether organized before or after the confirmation of such plan;
(D) sale of all or any part of the property of the estate, either subject to or free of any lien, or the distribution of all or any part of the property of the estate among those having an interest in such property of the estate;
(H) extension of a maturity date or a change in an interest rate or other term of outstanding securities;
(6) provide for the inclusion in the charter of the debtor, if the debtor is a corporation, or of any corporation referred to in paragraph (5)(B) or (5)(C) of this subsection, of a provision prohibiting the issuance of nonvoting equity securities, and providing, as to the several classes of securities possessing voting power, an appropriate distribution of such power among such classes, including, in the case of any class of equity securities having a preference over another class of equity securities with respect to dividends, adequate provisions for the election of directors representing such preferred class in the event of default in the payment of such dividends;
(7) contain only provisions that are consistent with the interests of creditors and equity security holders and with public policy with respect to the manner of selection of any officer, director, or trustee under the plan and any successor to such officer, director, or trustee; and
(8) in a case in which the debtor is an individual, provide for the payment to creditors under the plan of all or such portion of earnings from personal services performed by the debtor after the commencement of the case or other future income of the debtor as is necessary for the execution of the plan.
(b) Subject to subsection (a) of this section, a plan may—
(2) subject to section 365 of this title, provide for the assumption, rejection, or assignment of any executory contract or unexpired lease of the debtor not previously rejected under such section;
(3) provide for—
(A) the settlement or adjustment of any claim or interest belonging to the debtor or to the estate; or
(4) provide for the sale of all or substantially all of the property of the estate, and the distribution of the proceeds of such sale among holders of claims or interests;
(5) modify the rights of holders of secured claims, other than a claim secured only by a security interest in real property that is the debtor's principal residence, or of holders of unsecured claims, or leave unaffected the rights of holders of any class of claims; and
(c) In a case concerning an individual, a plan proposed by an entity other than the debtor may not provide for the use, sale, or lease of property exempted under section 522 of this title, unless the debtor consents to such use, sale, or lease.

Historical and Revision Notes
legislative statements
Section 1123 of the House amendment represents a compromise between similar provisions in the House bill and Senate amendment. The section has been clarified to clearly indicate that both secured and unsecured claims, or either of them, may be impaired in a case under title 11. In addition assumption or rejection of an executory contract under a plan must comply with section 365 of title 11. Moreover, section 1123 (a)(1) has been substantively modified to permit classification of certain kinds of priority claims. This is important for purposes of confirmation under section 1129 (a)(9).
Section 1123(a)(5) of the House amendment is derived from a similar provision in the House bill and Senate amendment but deletes the language pertaining to "fair upset price" as an unnecessary restriction. Section 1123 is also intended to indicate that a plan may provide for any action specified in section 1123 in the case of a corporation without a resolution of the board of directors. If the plan is confirmed, then any action proposed in the plan may be taken notwithstanding any otherwise applicable nonbankruptcy law in accordance with section 1142 (a) of title 11.
senate report no. 95–989
Subsection (a) specifies what a plan of reorganization must contain. The plan must designate classes of claims and interests, and specify, by class, the claims or interests that are unimpaired under the plan. Priority claims are not required to be classified because they may not have arisen when the plan is filed. The plan must provide the same treatment for each claim or interest of a particular class, unless the holder of a particular claim or interest agrees to a different, but not better, treatment of his claim or interest.
Paragraph (3) applies to claims, not creditors. Thus, if a creditor is undersecured, and thus has a secured claim and an unsecured claim, this paragraph will be applied independently to each of his claims.
Paragraph (4) of subsection (a) is derived from section 216 of chapter X [section 616 of former title 11] with some modifications. It requires the plan to provide adequate means for the plans execution. These means may include retention by the debtor of all or any part of the property of the estate, transfer of all or any part of the property of the estate to one or more entities, whether organized pre- or postconfirmation, merger or consolidation of the debtor with one or more persons, sale and distribution of all or any part of the property of the estate, satisfaction or modification of any lien, cancellation or modification of any indenture or similar instrument, curing or waiving of any default, extension of maturity dates or change in interest rates of securities, amendment of the debtor's charter, and issuance of securities.
Subparagraph (C), as it applies in railroad cases, has the effect of overruling St. Joe Paper Co. v. Atlantic Coast Line R. R., 347 U.S. 298 (1954). It will allow the trustee or creditors to propose a plan of merger with another railroad without the consent of the debtor, and the debtor will be bound under proposed 11 U.S.C. 1141 (a). See Hearings, pt. 3, at 1616. "Similar instrument" referred to in subparagraph (F) might include a deposit with an agent for distribution, other than an indenture trustee, such as an agent under an agreement in a railroad conditional sale or lease financing agreement.
Paragraphs (5) and (6) and subsection (b) are derived substantially from Section 216 of Chapter X ([former] 11 U.S.C. 616). Paragraph (5) requires the plan to prohibit the issuance of nonvoting equity securities, and to provide for an appropriate distribution of voting power among the various classes of equity securities. Paragraph (6) requires that the plan contain only provisions that are consistent with the interests of creditors and equity security holders, and with public policy with respect to the selection of officers, directors, and trustees, and their successors.
Subsection (b) specifies the matters that the plan may propose. The plan may impair or leave unimpaired any claim or interest. The plan may provide for the assumption or rejection of executory contracts or unexpired leases not previously rejected under section 365. The plan may also provide for the treatment of claims by the debtor against other entities that are not settled before the confirmation of the plan. The plan may propose settlement or adjustment of any claim or equity security belonging to the estate, or may propose retention and enforcement of such claim or interest by the debtor or by an agent appointed for that purpose.
The plan may also propose the sale of all or substantially all of the property of the estate, and the distribution of the proceeds of the sale among creditors and equity security holders. This would be a liquidating plan. The subsection permits the plan to include any other appropriate provision not inconsistent with the applicable provisions of the bankruptcy code.
Subsection (c) protects an individual debtor's exempt property by prohibiting its use, sale, or lease under a plan proposed by someone other than the debtor, unless the debtor consents.
2005—Subsec. (a)(1). Pub. L. 109–8, § 1502(a)(7), substituted "507(a)(2), 507(a)(3)" for "507(a)(1), 507(a)(2)".

Eurogroup President Jean-Claude Juncker said in an interview over the weekend that the austerity measures being imposed on Greece in exchange for additional bail-out funding from the IMF will result in "the sovereignty of Greece [being] massively limited. " He added, "One cannot be allowed to insult the Greeks. But one has to help them. They have said they are ready to accept expertise from the euro zone."
Although the average Greek citizen has no interest whatsoever in such austerity measures being imposed on him by outsiders (recent polls show 80 percent opposed), the socialist-controlled parliament, headed by President George Papandreou of the Panhellenic Socialist Movement, has agreed to accept such intervention in order to obtain funds sufficient for the country to avoid default, at least for the time being. Those measures include higher taxes and much tighter enforcement of tax collection measures, as well as selling off major publicly owned properties in order to raise $8 billion by the end of the year.

Comments about Applause AE140-4 Acoustic-Electric Bass Guitar:
I think this 4-string bass is awesome!
Comments about Applause AE140-4 Acoustic-Electric Bass Guitar:
I bought mine second hand. The first thing I noticed is that it seems to be neck heavy. If I could get the action lowered it would play pretty good I think. I actually wish I could put an endpin like a cello has and play the thing upright. The headstock styling seems a little strange. The color of the top is pleasing.
There is no built in tuner. The equalizer seems to be of not much use. Maybe that has something to do with the amp I've used with it. Unplugged it has a warm tone and is loud enough for a living roon type setting. Of course, playing more agressively will get you a bit more sound. .
Decent quality. Not particaularly unique. In fact it seems really generic in appearance. The action was set really high. It is well built with no defects I could see other than the setup.
The value is fine for the price. A built in tuner would be good.
Comments about Applause AE140-4 Acoustic-Electric Bass Guitar:
Well, you get what you pay for. I bought this bass to play for my church's worship band. However, upon receiving the bass, there were two dead frets and the stock strings have already tarnished the neck a little bit. It would be wise to assume that stock strings would be mediocre, but these strings are literally attacking the neck. Also, the two dead frets are kind of inconvenient. I mean, if you're looking for a decent acoustic bass guitar, then look no further. But just be aware of the defects that might occur...
Comments about Applause AE140-4 Acoustic-Electric Bass Guitar:
I am an avid guitar and now bass player. This is my first bass, and im no expert, but i was blown away by the tone and playability of this bass. It's great. The finish is perfect and beautiful. I own an Ovation Appluase AE128 guitar and love it which is why i stuck with Ovation. The AE140 is simply a must try for any bassist looking for an acoustic.
Comments about Applause AE140-4 Acoustic-Electric Bass Guitar:
This is the first acoustic I owned, I wanted something for the backyard and for camping. Out of the box it was in bad need of a set up, the action was set to high for anyone, the strings were terrible and the Truss rod needed adjustment. It plays pretty good now, the E string has a little buzz, its a little quiet, most reviews for acoustic basses seem to include that line. You can always plug it in and it sounds great. The pre - amp and controls work well, it has a great tone and over all you get your moneys worth. If you want an inexpensive acoustic this should be right up your alley.

Well, if he ever needed a data cable to go with it, there's always the Apple-compatible Fluro Green Sync n' Charge cable from Incase. Now we just need to get him a very small pair of purple pants...
2: Blake Lively's black hardshell iPad case
We're not entirely sure who made the black hardshell iPad case Gossip Girl's Blake Lively is toting in this spicture, but our guess is Incipio.
It defintiely has the look of a signature Incipio accessory and if you wanted to steal Blake's style, Incipio's Lexington HardShell case for iPad 3 in black is pretty much as close as you can get. Plus, it's probably way cheaper than copying her handbag.
3. Reese Witherspoon's Pink BlackBerry Curve Case
Reese Witherspoon likes to switch up her BlackBerry, as well as her smartphone cases.
Lately she's been seen with an adorable, hot pink rubberized skin for her BlackBerry Curve. Love it? BlackBerry makes a similar rubberized skin in pink and white for girly-girls like Reese, and it coes in at just under five bucks. Style. Stolen.
4. The President's black leather BlackBerry sleeve
When you're the President, you can't exactly go flashing a smartphone case with rhinestones on it. Instead, U.S. President Barack Obama keeps it classic, with a black leather Blackberry pocket sleeve on his belt.
Get the look of Washington's most high-profile figure with the sleek and elegant black Leather Pocket case from BlackBerry. Just don't expect to take over the Oval Office or anything.
5. Hollywood's obsession with Beats headphones
Hollywood, and recording artists in particular, seem to be obsessed with Beats headphones. The Beats by Dr. Dre line includes earbuds too, but it's the over-the-ear Beats models that have racked up a list of celebrity fans like Gwen Stefani, Lebron James, Justin Bieber and tons more.
Lil Wayne even has a special pair of diamond-encrusted Beats headphones, though we're thinking those are probably pretty hard to come by. Still, you can rock stardom's leading headphones in models that don't cost more than than a king's ransom.
Oh, Lil Wayne, why you got to be so fresh?
