Holiday sewing complete, I am embarking on a men's peacoat from a Japanese pattern book, with fantasies of finishing it by New Year's Eve for the PR contest. Hah!
My issue is this: after slogging through the Great Coat Sew Along blog, I had intended to interface the lapels with a wedge of fusible interfacing as described by Marcy Tilton in this Threads article. But after looking at the pattern and technical drawings more closely, I'm not convinced that a peacoat even has lapels. There's no roll line marked on the pattern, and it seems to me that DH might want to button all eight buttons against a cold breeze. But what do I know?
So what do you think? Let the "lapels" roll where they will? Or designate a roll line and build in a curved shape by pad-stitching or interfacing? (I will, in any case, interface the whole front pieces with a weft-insertion fusible; I'm just wondering what additional support, if any, the lapel area requires in a coat such as this one.)
Technical Drawing:
Photo of same pattern from book:
-- Edited on 12/20/09 2:46 PM --
The true pea coat can be worn with or without lapels (see photos here of real people as well as models wearing the garment). DH has a US Navy-issue pea coat from the early 1960s, which I got out just now to look at. I do not see any hint of pad-stitching on the undersides, but both lapels roll out beautifully and want to do so. When I run my fingers along the area of the roll line, I'm pretty sure I can feel the outline of taping, too. Without taking the jacket apart, it's hard to be sure, but I'd bet that a little bit of shaping was in fact built in there via taping and maybe an early fusible interfacing. It could not have been much, though, because the fronts can be buttoned closed under the neck without any rippling where the roll line would be.
Thank you, Elona, for your thoughtful answer; this is exactly what I needed to know. Now I'm thinking I may use some fusible stay tape in conjunction with my fusible interfacing to provide a little shaping to the roll line. Maybe a second layer of interfacing in the lapel area as well? I'll play with some scraps and see what that does.
Thanks again!
Can I ask where you got this pattern? My twelve year-old son is wanting to make a pea coat for the, "Make It With Wool" contest but we aren't having any luck finding a pattern for him.

Help us move the world closer
to global TB eradication
Donate to tubercle.org
What is a tubercle?
Tuberculosis (TB) is a bacterial disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
Scanning electron micrograph TB in culture
TB is transmitted through droplet nuclei, small particles of mucous produced when a person with TB coughs or sneezes. These small microscopic particles can float in the air for hours.
(Images courtesy of the CDC Public Health Image Collection)
If a person inhales particles, the particles may deposit in the alveoli, the small air sacs of the lungs, and the person becomes infected with TB.
In persons with normal immune function, the inhaled bacteria provoke an immune response. While the immune response commonly is unable to kill the bacteria, it is able to wall off the bacteria and able to prevent disease for long periods of time. A tubercle is the name of the small inflammatory nodule that forms when the immune system builds a wall around the TB bacteria in the lungs.
Infants and young children, and persons of all ages with weakened immune function due to HIV infection and other diseases, are often unable to wall off the invading bacteria and progress rapidly to active TB disease.
Here is a chest radiograph on a baby, showing a large area of tuberculosis. The baby's father had active TB when the baby was born. Within 2 months the baby was sick as well. Fortunately the baby was diagnosed rapidly, treated with directly observed therapy (DOT) and cured.
Here's a follow-up radiograph taken two years later:

Someone asked me what is so special about the Confederate flag.
Well, I can tell you, plain and simple. To me it has a lot to do with someone I wish I could have met, my third great grandfather, Elias Newman. He, along with four of his brothers proudly served our country in the Confederate army during the bleak and horrific time in our nation's history that we call the Civil War.
Three out of four Americans say the current federal tax code is unfair. While this number is the result of a recent survey by the nonprofit group Let Freedom Ring, you only have to try wading through the depths of the tax code yourself to come to the same conclusion. The tax code is inherently unfair, inefficient, and mind-numbingly complex at times.
By Congressman Robert Hurt
People who have a clean desk never know the pleasure of finding something they thought they lost.
The Bedford Bulletin moved to new quarters at 233 Depot Street last week and I found all sorts of things as I dug through nearly 18 years of clutter prior to our move. I didn't unearth an original copy of Magna Carta, but I did find a Bedford City Council agenda from 1997. I also found an appointment calendar from 2000. I figured that I wouldn't need either of them, so I tossed them.
For a long time, conservative Republicans have explained away racism, rationalized it, or even denied its existence outright in instances where it appears obvious to everyone else.
In the recent spate of police shooting or beating deaths of African-Americans, conservatives seemed to search the very stars in the heavens for any answer other than one that involved racism.
In a letter to his wife in 1776, John Adams predicted that great anniversary celebrations marked with "pomp and parade" would take place each year on the Second of July, the day the Continental Congress voted to declare independence from Britain. While he was right about the celebrations of freedom that have taken place for well over two hundred years, the date we all know is the Fourth of July – the date the Declaration of Independence was formally adopted by the Congress.
We are now, as I write, between two milestones on the road toward the freedom we now enjoy. Last week, we marked the 800th anniversary of Magna Carta, when English nobles forced King John to affix his seal to copies of a document that recognized some individual rights.
Initially, these English nobles were the beneficiaries but the council of barons Magna Carta provided grew into Parliament with its House of Lords and House of Commons and the rights recognized became seen as rights of Englishmen in Genera.
Pope Francis first got the attention of the political world several months after his 2013 election, when, in answer to a question, he said, "I'm not a right-winger."
Progressives all over the world knew, at that moment, that a new day had dawned. This wasn't going to be a Pope in the style of the German Benedict XVI, or even the socially conservative Pope John Paul II.
By Sheriff Mike Brown
In light of the large heroin bust made last week, I wish to emphasize the overall importance of getting this drug off our streets and how such a drug can bring a wonderful community like Bedford, to its knees if allowed to fester. As a Sheriff's Office we are concerned about getting the heroin addicts help, we are also equally concerned about the damage they inflict on innocent members of society.

Euro 2012: Who Lifts The Trophy?
As the 14th edition of the European Championship commonly referred to as Euro 2012 co-hosted by Poland and Ukraine kicks off on June 8, 2012, favourites have emerged, dark horses have equally emerged and there are many players to watch out for. The 16 nation tournament parades Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, England, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Ireland, Russia, Spain, Sweden and Ukraine. This is the last time the championship would feature 16 countries because from 2016 it will be 24 countries.
Spain, the defending champions have been tipped to retain the trophy they won four years ago, if Spain wins again, it would make history as no country has achieved that before. Germany and the Netherlands have equally been tipped as teams that are likely to go all the way.
Countries like Denmark, Portugal and Croatia are tipped as countries to watch out for as they are likely to repeat the 2004 edition when Greece came from nowhere to pip stronger contenders to the championships.
Many pundits have written off the chances of England, describing them as perennial underachievers as England has never won the tournament before. France and Italy are described by many followers as spent forces.
There are some interesting statistics in this year's championship. There are seven teenagers aged 18 and 19 making it to Poland and Ukraine. England's duo of Jack Butland and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain are aged 19 and 18 respectively. Greece's Kostas Fortounis, Ukraine's Maxym Koval, Denmark's Jores Okore and Poland's Rafał Wolski are all 19 while Jetro Willems of Netherlands is 18.
There will be 368 players taking part in the tournament. Italy, Russia, Republic of Ireland and Sweden will take the oldest squads to UEFA EURO 2012, with an average age of 28. At four years younger a man, Germany's squad are the youngest in the competition.
At 37, Greece goalkeeper, Kostas Chalkias, is the oldest player at UEFA EURO 2012, while Netherlands defender, Jetro Willems, is the youngest at 18. If Willems makes an appearance, he will become the youngest ever player to take the field at a UEFA European Championship (the current record is held by Enzo Scifo at 18 years and 115 days).
With 129 caps, Spain goalkeeper, Iker Casillas, is the most experienced player at the finals. The tallest individual player is Sweden's goalkeeper Andreas Isaksson (199cm).
England is the only country that all the squad members ply their trade in their local league. Of the four major European leagues of England, Spain, Italy and Germany, England accounts for the highest number of players playing in the country who will participate in the tournament. 79 players going to Euro 2012 ply their trade in England followed by Germany where 45 players play in the German Bundelisga. 33 players play in Spain while 31 play in Italian Serie A. Only one player, Robbie Kean, the Irish captain, plays outside of Europe, for LA Galaxy of the USA.
Bayern Munich have the highest number of players in the tournament at club level with 12, followed by Real Madrid with 11. Dynamo Kiev have 10 whilst the duo of Chelsea and Borrusia Dortmund have nine each. The newly crowned English Champions, Manchester City have eight.
Of the four top Premiership clubs, Chelsea have the highest number of nine, Manchester City eight and the duo of Manchester United and Arsenal have seven each.
Though there are racist concerns, especially in Ukraine, but the authorities have come out to dismiss that stressing that both players and fans of colour have nothing to fear.
Meanwhile, eight cities will be hosting this year's tournament as venues. In a return to the format used at Euro 1992, 1996 and 2008, each of the four groups will be based around two stadiums each. The host cities are: Warsaw, Gdańsk, Wrocław, Poznań, Kiev, Lviv, Donetsk and Kharkiv.
Six of the eight venues are brand new stadiums currently being constructed ready to open in advance of the tournament; the remaining two, Poznań and Kharkiv underwent major renovations.
The European Championship in Poland and Ukraine will be the 14th time that the competition has been held. It was the brainchild of Henri Delaunay, the secretary of the French Football Federation, who first came up with the idea of a continental competition in 1927.
At first he had little support and it did not start until 1960. Until 1980 only four teams went through to the final stages, but it is now a 16-team competition and one of the major events on the football calendar.
All 13 of the previous tournaments have provided memorable events. The first tournament was held in France and won by the Soviet Union. The victorious team had legendary goalkeeper Lev Yashin in goal.
Spain's first success came at Euro 1964, when they won on home soil with a team spearheaded by Luis Suarez. The third European Championship was held in Italy and, as with Spain in 1964, it was won by the host nation. Reigning European champions Italy failed to make it to the finals, falling victim to hosts Belgium in the last eight. However, West Germany did, defeating the hosts on their way to a final in which they comfortably overcame the USSR 3-0.
Euro 1976 was won by Czechoslovakia, as they defeated West Germany in a penalty shoot-out in Belgrade. The format changed in 1980, with eight teams through to the finals, but the result had a familiar look about it, with West Germany triumphant. France went close at the World Cup in 1982 before losing to West Germany in a memorable semi-final, but there was no disappointment on home soil, as a team led by the imperious Michel Platini emerged triumphant in 1984.
1988 was the tournament which Netherlands striker, Marco van Basten was without equal, as he scored the goals that led his team to victory. In 1992, Denmark did not qualify for the tournament in Sweden but got their chance when Yugoslavia, in a state of civil war, did not participate. Denmark took Yugoslavian's place and they take it, beating Germany in the final to carry the trophy.
The Euro 96 tournament was when football came home, when it all began, England. England reached the last four, but lost to Germany on penalties. Germany went on to win the final, defeating Czechoslovakia. In 2000, France had won the World Cup on home soil in 1998 and went on to prove their supremacy by winning in Belgium and the Netherlands. It was the turn of Greece in Euro 2004, when they were crowned kings.
In 2008, Spain ended a 44-year wait to end their international disappointment. A brilliant tournament in Austria and Switzerland produced a stack of stunning games to lift the trophy.

AMD reveals details of its first ARM-based server chip
AMD unveils the specs for its first range of ARM-based processors aimed at the server market.
AMD unveils the specs for its first range of ARM-based processors aimed at the server market.
The new cards take aim at the high-performance supercomputing market with up to 16GB GDDR5 memory and 2,816 stream processors.
The test used 168,000 virtual machines on 576 physical hosts, with the first 75,000 virtual machines being deployed in six hours and thirty minutes. This, according to AMD, is the largest ever known demonstration of OpenStack scalability.
AMD has big plans for ARM in microservers, embedded and low-power clients. But where does that leave the mainstream PC and server markets?
AMD Opteron X-Series APUs running Fedora Linux are an important development for companies looking to transition to x86 APU servers but who don't want to introduce new tools and software platforms into the IT environments.
The AMD Opteron A1100 series server chip, which features 28-nanometer process technology, will be sampling in the next few weeks.
AMD unveil two new Opteron 6300 Series server processors specifically designed for enterprise workloads.
Verizon plans to transition seven of its 53 data centers to AMD SeaMicro hardware in order to power "the world's most resilient, flexible, secure, and scalable infrastructure platforms."
Service Pack 3 is available for Suse Linux Enterprise Server - introducing support for new Intel, AMD and IBM hardware and increasing its virtualisation features.
AMD wants to be more than just an alternative to Intel. It wants to lead ARM's gains in the data center as 2014 shapes up to be a pilot year for hyperscale servers.
Can Open Compute go head to head with the likes of HP, IBM, and Dell in the datacenter?
AMD's SeaMicro SM15000 server has been certified for both compute and storage portions of OpenStack.
AMD is the first to unveil its Open Compute Project "open source" motherboard. Called the Open 3.0, the board is suitable for cloud server, storage servers, and high-performance computing clusters.
The 4300 Series and 3300 Series processors are based on AMD's Piledriver architecture and, according to the chipmaker, are ideal for cloud providers, web hosts and SMBs.
In the short term, ARM chips will continue to have a low-power advantage over processors from x86 chipmakers like Intel and AMD, but eventually this advantage will disappear, according to AMD.
AMD executives asserted that the chipmaker will be the first company to offer both 64-bit ARM and x86 server processors.
Cloud server security startup CloudPassage raised $14 million from Tenaya Capital, Benchmark Capital and Musea Ventures.
Chipmaker AMD has completed its $334m (£209m) acquisition of server maker SeaMicro, a longtime partner of rival processor giant Intel.With the completion of the deal on Monday, SeaMicro becomes AMD Data Center Server Solutions.
AMD has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Intel ally SeaMicro, giving the chipmaker a 'dense' server fabric to sell to large web companies
Rich Fichera looks at the risks and potential rewards of AMD's recent acquisition of innovative server startup SeaMicro.

What caused Dry Falls?
Another solid NOVA effort exploring the science behind the puzzling 400-foot high, 3.5-mile Dry Falls in central Washington and how it came to be. It takes a while to suss out the full story, as the video takes its time with historical reenactments, contemporary interviews, and some of the sensationalized video production we've come to expect when revealing "secrets" and "mysteries" on film - spooky video effects and dramatic music leading up to the mind-blowing truth Soon To Be Revealed! And that mind-blowing truth - that all this peculiar geology was caused by the catastrophic collapse of an enormous ice-dam holding back the waters of the once-massive Glacier Lake Missoula 1,000 miles away - is just mind-blowing enough you'll happily sit through the animated sequence depicting the collapse of the damn several times.

Pensioner's crash death ruled 'an accident' by Lincolnshire coroner
Posted: September 18, 2012|
A pensioner died from multiple injuries sustained in a car crash in Gainsborough, an inquest heard.
Marjorie Hill, 83, from Retford, was a front seat passenger in a Vauxhall Zafira travelling back from a day out in Cleethorpes with her daughter, Sandra Westhorpe, and son-in-law, David Westhorpe.
Mr Westhorpe was driving and the three passengers were engaged in conversation when the vehicle left the carriageway on the bend joining Thorndike Way and Corringham Road.
The accident happened at around 7.15pm on December 27, last year.
The inquest into the death of Marjorie Hill was held on September 11, at The Cathedral Centre, Lincoln.
The inquest heard Mr Westhorpe had not noticed the advance warning signs and fluorescent chevrons, warning of a bend, and the car left the road, flipping several times before coming to rest on its roof in an adjacent field.
West Lincolnshire Deputy Coroner Paul Smith recorded a verdict of accidental death.
He said: "Police inquiries raised a possibility Mr Westhorpe had a medical problem or fell asleep at the wheel but there is no objective evidence of this.
"It is apparent the vehicle left the carriageway and overturned. The reason for the loss of control is less clear.
"This was no more than a tragic accident."

AOL News has a new home! The Huffington Post.Click here to visit the new home of Politics Daily!
In May 2007, then-House Minority Leader John Boehner and his wife, Deborah, attended a glittery White House state dinner for Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip hosted by President and Mrs. Bush. The dress for men was white tie and tailcoat, more formal than the customary tuxedo.
Cabinet members, business leaders, diplomats and politicians -- Senate Minority Whip Trent Lott, a Republican, and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a Democrat -- were also there, along with former First Lady Nancy Reagan, golfer Arnold Palmer and jockey Calvin Borel, who rode the 2007 Kentucky Derby winner.
Fast forward to November 2009, May 2010 and this week.
The same John Boehner who toasted the queen in 2007 has since refused all three state dinner invitations from Democratic President Barack Obama for key U.S. allies: Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Mexican President Felipe Calderon and, on Wednesday night, President Hu Jintao of China.
"Speaker Boehner will have a substantive meeting with President Hu later this week," his spokesman, Michael Steel, told me by e-mail. (It's set for Thursday on Capitol Hill.)
But the speaker's press office did not address questions of why Boehner declined all three Obama state dinners, or whether he believes nothing meaningful can be achieved by spending social time with world leaders and their delegations.
He "doesn't necessarily believe in all the pomp and circumstance of Washington," former Republican National Commitee spokesman Doug Heye told Politico, which broke the 3-for-3 state dinner boycott story.
To be fair, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid sent regrets to that 2007 dinner for the queen because "his office said he didn't have white tie," recalled Anita McBride, then-chief of staff to Laura Bush.
But in the world of protocol and etiquette, "You really have to be sick, dead or dying to regret a state dinner invitation," McBride noted.
"I hate to think it would be pettiness: 'I don't like the president so I am not coming,'" said a former social secretary in a Republican White House, who requested anonymity. "I think you can assume that the administration, when they have a state dinner, wants to show a bipartisan face" to foreign leaders. Some lawmakers "might be uncomfortable in black tie or white tie, they might be uncomfortable with the positions of the administration."
They may also object to the policies of the visiting head of state, or not want to be seen as part of the Washington establishment, said the former social secretary. "There is not Republican who couldn't benefit from sitting next to a Vernon Jordan," one of the city's Democratic power brokers and political wise men.
On the other hand, it is important for every White House to invite the opposition, she said. House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) was not among the chosen, his office confirmed.
Forgetting partisanship for an evening has its advantages for everyone, said McBride. "I don't want to second-guess the speaker but one of the things I have learned is that those parties historically are a very important part of a diplomatic effort. There is a lot of work that gets done in social situations, a lot of work on the part of government and business leaders . . . This is one thing where I say I'd take a page out of the Nancy Pelosi book. She never regretted an invitation with President Bush, with whom she had major policy differences."
Turning down such invitations, especially by someone who is third in line for the presidency, is a big mistake, says Letitia Baldridge, who was President Kennedy's social secretary. "I think it's short-sighted and a failing of his duty." Yes, there were Democrats and Republicans who brushed off Kennedy state dinners without explanation, but Baldridge, who says she's given protocol advice to five first ladies, called such behavior "so conceited of the person." Not attending a state dinner "is his loss because he is losing out on a very special moment in history."
Perhaps President Obama should invite Mr. Boehner to play a round of golf with him. The Speaker would find an invitation like that hard to refuse! A free round of golf paid for by someone other than the Lobbyists!January 23 2011 at 10:22 AM Report abuse Permalink +3 rate up rate down Reply
It might be remotely OK to turn down one White House invitation, but not three. Boehner forgets that his JOB requires him to attend social events, since a surprising amount of actual work gets done at state dinners. Political differences between parties aside, his JOB is to represent his constituents, first and foremost, and if his constituents lose out on beneficial contracts, etc., because he was too full of himself to attend, I hope that they remember that the next time that they are in the voting booth! He needs to remember that, political rhetoric aside, he works for the people of his state and district FIRST, not the GOP.January 22 2011 at 4:49 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Reply
The man is the speaker of the house and did not attend. He is living up to his reputation for being lazy and not wanting to do the work. He and McConnell are not even wating time by trying to pretend that they want to help this president to keep moving forward. They don't like Obama and they don't care who knows it. That's okay, real leaders like Harry Reid and nancy Pelosi were there to back up the president. Reid even met with Hu. Some folks are just petty and they know that their party will let them get away it.January 20 2011 at 3:23 PM Report abuse Permalink +2 rate up rate down Reply
I would not go either- the working people of China are very mis-treated and have very few rights. This is not what I think the USA should be supporting, in my opinion. Plus they are not even sure if Hu Jintao is the President. He did not even know about the much publized testing of a Stealth.January 19 2011 at 7:30 PM Report abuse Permalink -5 rate up rate down Reply

Umm... you seem to forget that President Bush made a very public trip TO China for the Olympics at a time when human rights issues there were INTERNATIONAL news. You do not change how a country handles their people by turning your back on them...you change it by example. Of course, considering the millions in this country who are getting short shrift by our own government, from the victims of the oil spill to the victims of Katrina, not to mention the estimated 39 million without even basic health care, and on top of that, how our politicians scream and shout and call each other names, perhaps we don't offer a very good example, either.January 22 2011 at 4:53 PM Report abuse Permalink +2 rate up rate down Reply
No one thinks the Speaker of the House works for the President, you idiot. He works for THE PEOPLE. There is a certain amount of decorum that comes with the job and that is to attend state functions, to attend a memorial service for your own fallen colleague instead of choosing to go to a party and to behave with civility even if you don't want to. Boehner acts like some spoiled,cry baby kindergartner. We all know the real reason Boehner has refused these invitations.
When you are 2nd in line to the presidency you need to use some manners and not act like an ignorant fool. Arrogance laced with ignorance is very ugly.
There seems to be a lot of that going on these days.

Dear Anne, our nation is divided. ("He is not showing anyone in the world that we are a UNITED NATION not a divided one. I guess the talk for kindness and unity was to much for you to deal with? Makes me sad because I want our nation united and not divided anymore.") President Obama has made that very clear by taking official action against Arizona. Furthermore his Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, actually filed a complaint with the UN against Arizona. Against those two incredible actions, demonstrating for the world that we are not united, Boehner's lack of interest is only noteworthy to the media.January 19 2011 at 6:07 PM Report abuse Permalink +3 rate up rate down Reply

Good for him. Washington people tend to think of Washington events as being important, all Washington events, and especially those in the White House. Not everybody in the rest of the country agrees.

The Pettis County Historical Society presented "The Titanic Remembered," honoring the 100th anniversary of the Titanic's maiden and final voyage, on Sunday, Oct. 28 at Nostalgia Vintage Apparel, 219 S. Ohio. The event was organized by PCHS members Charles Wise, Rhonda Chalfant and Byron Matson, who hosted the event.
The Titanic sank 100 years ago in mid-April after contacting an iceberg on its starboard side and now lies in 13,000 feet of water in the North Atlantic, southeast of Newfoundland. The bow and stern sections lie approximately 600 feet apart. The wreck of the Titanic was discovered in September 1985 by Dr. Robert Ballard.
The program concluded with refreshments served to the sold-out crowd who attended. The proceeds will help with the operational costs of the Pettis County Historical Society. Photos by Randy Kirby, Sedalia News Journal.

Niger didn't get its first mining code until 1993, which put in place an unbalanced fiscal regime that gave substantial advantages to private companies (they were exempt from paying duties and taxes both during the initial exploration period and the actual extraction process).
This 1993 Code led to a proliferation of mining projects carried out by multinational firms driven to get their hands on Niger's massive quantities of uranium.
Over the years, more than 160 exploration and exploitation licenses have since been given out. And today, the growing rush for Niger's uranium poses a serious threat to the country's agro-pastoral activities - a sector that a majority of Nigeriens depend on for their livelihoods.
Niger's extractive industry holds the greatest economic growth potential for the country. Nonetheless, the benefits from this potential remain quite apart from the reality of Niger's struggling economy.
While Niger should be leveraging its mining resources on the basis of taxation, there is no coherent policy on local content or the development of the value chain from mining that would enable the economy to maximize its profits by diversifying the sources of income and employment.
Today, given the weakness of the country's financial resources and the negative impact of mining on the environment and other economic activities (agriculture, livestock, fisheries), it is clear that the current royalty rate of 5.5% paid by multinationals is far below the optimal taxation level.
The minimum amount that should be taxed is more in the vicinity of 15 to 20%. For instance, in Canada's uranium-producing province of Saskatchewan and in Kazakhstan, where AREVA is producing uranium, the royalty rate is respectively 13% and 18.5%.
Why then does AREVA refuse to pay a fair rate to Niger?
In 2006, Niger revised its 1993 mining code and implemented a new set of fiscal and environmental obligations for all its mining activities.
As part of the current AREVA negotiation - AREVA has been exploiting the country's resources for the last 50 years - there is fierce opposition to this new law with AREVA citing lack of profitability of its investments.
In reality, this argument holds little truth. According to Niger's 2011 EITI report, mining production increased significantly between 2007 and 2010 while income paid by companies during this same period actually decreased by 25% - from 70.5 billion FCFA (in 2007) to 53 billion FCFA (in 2010).
There are several explanations to account for this discrepancy, including distortion of the regulatory framework, weak state capacity, manipulation and lack of transparency, and lack of compliance by companies.
According to this 2011 EITI document, COMINAR and SOMAIR (two of AREVA's Niger mining sites), reportedly paid the Niger government FCFA 33.8 billion in 2010 (approximately €51.8 million).
If the optimal tax level (15% to 20%) was applied on the basis of the assumption of ceteris paribus (all else being equal), the two companies would pay - in 2014 - between about FCFA 92.6 billion and FCFA 123.5 billion.
So Niger's desire to raise its tax levy to 12%, in the current negotiations with AREVA, is more than justified. On this basis, Niger's state should then receive - from COMINAR and SOMAIR alone - upwards of 74 billion FCFA (or €113 million) compared to the 33.8 billion FCFA they are currently receiving. Niger's government would also benefit from streamlining the multiple tax exemptions and privileges it grants to all its mining companies.
AREVA has declared its consolidated turnover from 2013 is €9.303 million, while the Niger national budget amounts to approximately €1,900 million - merely a fifth the profits of the French multinational.
Additionally, while AREVA's business grew by 3.8% compared to 2012, Niger's national budget has actually fallen by 11% compared to 2012.
The country's GDP is estimated at €5.279 million in 2012, which is far lower than the French nuclear giant's own turnover. Quite ironically, Niger's mining sector only contributes 5% to the Nigerien GDP. This simply illustrates that the current AREVA contract does not work in favor Niger.
The French nuclear giant has always had 'special' treatment on the basis of a 1968 partnership agreement between France and Niger - an agreement that has historically dictated the fiscal management of Niger's uranium sector.
For nearly half a century, Niger has been practically giving its uranium away to France. (This 50-year period also corresponds to the 'uranium boom' that took place in Niger in the 1970s.)
Today, aside from increasing its tax rates, the State of Niger could also increase its revenues by reducing the multiple tax exemptions and privileges they currently grant to its mining companies - exemptions that could otherwise be invested in its people.

Compliance has moved to the top of management's priority list; a dramatic shift forced by heightened safety consciousness, the environment, corporate ethics and privacy.
Fleet managers must navigate a new wave of complex laws, industry specifications, and internal policies and standards. Failure to meet requirements has serious repercussions, often exposing owners to consequences that include criminal prosecution, civil litigation and loss of business.
ARI has the knowledge base, depth of experience and resources to keep fleets operating in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local regulations, industry specifications, standards and practices, third-party manufacturer warranties and disclaimers, corporate policies and performance standards.
Our licensing services fit every known scenario for every fleet size and level of complexity, in any business or industry, anywhere in the world.
We keep drivers and vehicles on the road and we do it with solutions customized to fit each fleet. Strict compliance with licensing regulations reduces our customers' exposure to risk, prevents downtime and generates long-term fleet savings.
All work is done in-house at ARI – with many of our team accredited as motor vehicle agents by various states. We distribute plates and registrations directly to our clients in order to avoid fines, missed filings, and unnecessary fees.
Violations and Tolls
For many fleet managers, tracking drivers who owe money for unpaid vehicle toll, parking and moving violations is still a very manual process.
The ARI Violations Program makes the process more efficient, reduces the fleet manager's administrative burden and increases the likelihood of quick driver payment.
The violations tracking system available through the ARI insights® web-based fleet management system allows managers to easily monitor and collect reimbursements from drivers that have received violations.
Toll violations account for about 75 percent of all violation costs. The ARI Toll Management Program will eliminate these violations altogether and streamline administration for clients.
Personal Use Reporting
Staying on top of drivers to ensure their personal mileage entries are up-to-date and accurate can be a time consuming task.
At ARI, our web-based Personal Mileage Reporting program automates and streamlines manual processes and ensures drivers are helping your company meet IRS regulations. Our program offers the flexibility of a customized, innovative solution with sophisticated tracking and reporting tools.
We also work with telematics providers to capture and identify business and personal miles using OBD device s for GPS and data transport or other advanced solutions.
Tax Services
ARI offers a team of highly skilled and knowledgeable professionals in our Tax Department. Our department staff can complete forms and make timely, accurate payments for heavy highway vehicle use tax and personal property taxes that are due outside the registration process. Our team of seasoned tax specialists can take this entire time-consuming and troublesome burden off your shoulders. This avoids a potentially costly shutdown and any potential late payment fees.
Fleet Emissions
There are solid reasons for sustainability: fuel savings, dedication to valued customers, social responsibility, and compliance— just to name a few.
ARI offers the widest range of compliance consulting services available from any industry source. Our SustainableWorks™ consulting services will help you identify ways to improve your carbon footprint by reducing fuel consumption, integrating alternative fuels, modifying driver behavior, measuring emissions and verifying regulatory compliance—all while keeping a close eye on your total cost of ownership.

Easley police: No evidence educators sold pot to students
EASLEY - Two Pickens County schools employees were charged with distributing pot Friday, but police say they probably weren't selling to students.
"Easley police investigators have informed the school district that they have no evidence of controlled substances being given to students in this case," district spokesman John Eby said.
Kimberly Dawn Anthony, 43, and Daniel John Fahey, 48, were arrested and charged with multiple counts of distributing marijuana near a school. Anthony teaches computer keyboarding at Gettys Middle in Easley, and Fahey is the district's school-to-work coordinator and works at district administrative offices.
Anthony's bond was set Saturday at $250,000, and Fahey's bond was set at $150,000. Both were still in the Pickens County jail Sunday.

I began quilting when my son was sick. While he slept, I hand stiched pieces trying to find my way through his illness. It was as if each stitch became a prayer. Instead of using a rosary and reciting the Our Fathers and Hail Marys, I stitched and created trying to work through the pain. After Tyler passed away, quilting became my passion, my outlet. This is when I wanned from traditional quilting and became passionate for art quilts. I felt they let me express my feelings, which were many. And so mixed, at that. I am also a teacher, so have not tried to pursue a career in quilting, although it is a dream I have.
As anyone knows who has lost a loved one, you never get over the pain-you adapt. I will continue my journey of adaptation through creating my art. Even if my work is never notices nationally, it has been my knot on the end of the rope.

Hakima Arhab's Story
I work for Subway at the Oakland Airport. When I first got this job, I was so happy – I thought my life was going to change. But it turned out it was the hardest job I have ever done. There were just two of us working at once, with a huge long line to serve – sometimes it seemed like 100 people. We had to race to make the sandwiches and cashier at the same time. Sometime I felt like I was going to fall down because we were working so hard, but I just had to drink something sweet and go back to work. Sometimes we'd work like that for a 12-hour shift, and we'd never get paid a penny of overtime.
After that I decided to stand up and ask for my rights. I wanted to join the union. My face was on the union flyers, and I made a video for my co-workers, telling them they should stand up with me. I filed complaints with the state and the Port of Oakland for the labor laws Subway was breaking. The Subway owners found out about that, because the Port gave them the names of people who'd complained.
When my co-worker Bikram was fired, I went on a delegation to support him – and the next day my boss fired me too. She told me it was because they were slow, but she was giving my coworkers extra hours, and two days later they hired a new worker at the airport. I believe that she just wanted to kick me out because I'd gotten involved in the union, and I stood up and filed a complaint. Because I was demanding my rights.
Last week we had a rally out at the airport, to support me and the other workers who have been fired. We even had a chant in Berber. That's the home language of North Africa, and I'm from a little Berber town in Algeria. And the meaning is "We are Berber, we are people who would rather fight and be fired than work without rights."

Multiple Sclerosis
Multiple Sclerosis Overview
Patient Comment Read 1 Comment
Multiple sclerosis (MS) can be thought of as an immune-mediated inflammatory process involving different areas of the central nervous system (CNS) at various points in time. As the name suggests, multiple sclerosis affects many areas of the CNS.
Multiple Sclerosis Causes
The central nervous system is made up of the brain and spinal cord. They process information from our environment and control voluntary muscle movements to allow the body to do certain things.
This neural system works efficiently, unless there is a disease process affecting the pathways in the spinal cord and brain. Multiple sclerosis is one of the diseases that can affect these pathways.
Multiple sclerosis results in destruction of the myelin surrounding the nerves of the CNS. The destruction is caused by the body's immune system attacking the myelin sheath. The reason that the body's immune system attacks the myelin sheath is not understood fully, but it is believed to be related to a combination of a genetic predisposition and acquired or environmental influences.

Have you ever wondered where to enroll, so your dreams of making it as a big author come to be? Take a page from these novelists' books, and consider where to take your potential readers before worrying too much about where you take your classes.
Alice Walker, author of The Color Purple, among many other books, went to Spelman College and Sarah Lawrence College. In 1961, Alice Walker enrolled at the historically black women's college Spelman College in Atlanta, Georgia. There she became active in civil rights issues. After two years, she transferred to Sarah Lawrence College. Her move was partially due to her outrage over the loss of her professor Howard Zinn, who was fired for supporting desegregation protests. At Sarah Lawrence, Walker was mentored by her poetry professor Muriel Rukeyser, who helped Walker publish her first book, a collection of poems called Once.
Michael Chabon, author of Wonder Boys, among many other books University of Pittsburgh Michael Chabon is a Pulitzer Prize-winning author whose debut novel, The Mysteries of Pittsburgh, is set in the city where Chabon attended college--first at Carnegie Mellon University, and then at University of Pittsburgh. After receiving his undergraduate degree in English literature in 1984, Chabon pursued an MFA in creative writing from the University of California at Irvine. His master's thesis attracted the attention of professor Donald Heiney, an award-winning author himself, who sent the manuscript to his agent without telling Chabon beforehand. The book, The Mysteries of Pittsburgh, set off a bidding war among publishers and earned Chabon a large advance and bestselling success at the age of twenty-four.
Octavia E. Butler, author of Wild Seed, among many other science-fiction titles, went to Pasadena City College. The beloved African American science fiction author Octavia Butler was dyslexic, but she beat the odds and attended several different schools in California. Butler earned an associates degree from Pasadena City College and enrolled in writing classes at California State University, Los Angeles and then the University of California, Los Angeles. She found success with novels such as Wild Seed and Bloodchild, and became the only science fiction writer to win a MacArthur "genius grant."
Malcolm Gladwell, author of Outliers, among other books Trinity College in the University of Toronto Gladwell may be an outlier among authors, as he has written four New York Times bestselling books, but it doesn't seem that he applied his own 10,000-hour rule to the mastery of his studies in college. In a 2008 article in Time magazine, Gladwell confessed to Lev Grossman: "College was not an . . . intellectually fruitful time for me." Grossman noted that Gladwell said this "with the air of a man euphemizing strenuously." Gladwell graduated with a history degree in 1984.
Gillian Flynn, author of Gone Girl went to Northwestern University. Gillian Flynn enrolled as a graduate student in Northwestern's esteemed Medill School of Journalism in 1997, where she learned that she was "too wimpy" to handle the gory job of a crime reporter. She now trains her focus on writing about imaginary murders, and her psychological thriller Gone Girl is currently at the top of the New York Times hardcover fiction bestseller list. Not so wimpy after all.
James Salter, author of A Sport and a Pastime, among other books attended the United States Military Academy at West Point In 1942, James Salter followed in the footsteps of his father and entered West Point, where he graduated as a pilot in 1945. He served in World War II, then attended Georgetown University, earning his master of arts degree in English. After graduation, he returned to the Air Force, but after twelve years of service, he decided to leave the military and instead focus on writing. Salter's 1998 memoir Burning the Days details his experience at West Point.
Rebecca Skloot, author of The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks went to Colorado State University. Rebecca Skloot had a checkered career in school; she was kicked out of pre-school and failed most of her first-year classes in high school. While taking a biology class at Portland Community College, she learned for the first time about "HeLa" cells, the topic that she'd later spend a decade researching for her first book. After transferring to at Colorado State University ('97) to major in veterinary science, Skloot took a creative writing course and realized her calling was science writing. And the rest is . . . footnotes. Skloot's debut became a bestseller, topping recommended book lists across the country.
Gloria Steinem, author of Outrageous Acts and Everyday Rebellions, among other books Smith College Gloria Steinem, the face of contemporary feminism, graduated from Smith College with a degree in government in 1956. During her undergraduate years, Steinem felt the campus was very conservative; she later said that the prevailing sentiment at the women's college was that they should be educated primarily so that their children would be raised by educated mothers. Today, however, Smith is largely synonymous with feminism and student activism, and Steinem sits on its board. Steinem went on to a career in journalism and a prominent role in American social and political activism. She is also the author of numerous bestselling books.
Jessica Knoll, author of Fifty-One Shades of Blonde Hobart and William Smith Colleges Jessica Knoll studied creative writing at Hobart and William Smith Colleges, where her work on one assignment in particular informed her later career at Cosmopolitan. Using an astronomical phenomenon--black stars, which appear dark even though they emit bright light--as a metaphor, Knoll portrayed a tumultuous on-again, off-again relationship with an ex-boyfriend. Knoll now writes about love, sex, and relationships for Cosmopolitan and most recently authored the new novella Cosmo's Fifty-One Shades of Blonde, which is on sale now.
Jonathan Franzen, author of Freedom, among many other books Swarthmore College National Book Award-winning author Jonathan Franzen attended Swarthmore College from 1978 to 1981; he was editor of the campus literary magazine and majored in German. Veiled references to his alma mater appear in his blockbuster novels The Corrections and Freedom. In one chapter in Freedom, for instance, main character Patty Berglund visits her daughter during Parents' Weekend at a prestigious Philadelphia-area liberal arts college and sees a stone engraved with the phrase "use well thy freedom"--a stone that exists on Swarthmore's campus. Photo courtesy of Swarthmore College.
Kathryn Stockett, author of The Help University of Alabama Kathryn Stockett graduated from the University of Alabama with a degree in English and creative writing. She was a member of the Phi Mu sorority. (Interestingly enough, The Help's heroine Miss Skeeter was a Chi Omega and an English major at the University of Mississippi).
Jonathan Carroll, author of The Land of Laughs and several other novels Rutgers University and the University of Virginia The popular author Jonathan Carroll completed his undergraduate degree at Rutgers University in 1971 and then went on to earn his master's degree at the University of Virginia. After graduation, he left for Vienna to teach full-time.
