The standoff continued after a White House summit with chief executives as financial leaders and Wall street urged a resolution before serious damage is done to the U.S. and world economy.
Obama "refuses to negotiate," House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio., told reporters after private talks that lasted more than an hour. "All we're asking for here is a discussion and fairness for the American people under Obamacare.
But Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada said moments later, "We're locked in tight on Obamacare" and neither the president nor Democrats will accept changes in the nation's 3-year-old health care law as the price for spending legislation needed to end the two-day partial shutdown.
With the nation's ability to borrow money soon to lapse, Republicans and Democrats alike said the shutdown could last for two weeks or more, and soon oblige a divided government to grapple with both economy-threatening issues at the same time.
The White House said in a statement after the meeting that Obama had made it clear "he is not going to negotiate over the need for Congress to act to reopen the government or to raise the debt limit to pay the bills Congress has already incurred.
It added, "The president remains hopeful that common sense will prevail."
The high-level bickering at microphones set up outside the White House reflected the day's proceedings in the Capitol.
The Republican-controlled House approved legislation to reopen the nation's parks and the National Institutes of Health, even though many Democrats criticized them as part of a piecemeal approach that fell far short of what was needed.
"What we're trying to do is to get the government open as quickly as possible," said the House majority leader, Rep. Eric Cantor of Virginia. "And all that it would take is us realizing we have a lot in agreement."
Earlier, an attempt by Democrats to force shutdown-ending legislation to the House floor failed on a 227-197 vote, with all Republicans in opposition. That left intact the tea party-driven strategy of demanding changes to the nation's health care overhaul as the price for essential federal financing, despite grumbling from Republican moderates.
The stock market ended lower as Wall Street CEOs, Europe's central banker and traders pressed for a solution. Chief executives from the nation's biggest financial firms met Obama for more than an hour Wednesday, some of them plainly frustrated with the tactics at play in Congress and with the potential showdown coming over the debt limit.
"You can re-litigate these policy issues in a political forum, but we shouldn't use threats of causing the U.S. to fail on its obligations to repay its debt as a cudgel," Lloyd Blankfein, CEO of Goldman Sachs, said after the meeting.
Democrats were scathing in their criticism.
"The American people would get better government out of Monkey Island at the local zoo than we're giving them today," said Rep. John Dingell of Michigan.
The Republican National Committee announced it would pay for personnel needed to reopen the World War II Memorial, a draw for aging veterans from around the country that is among the sites shuttered. In a statement, party chairman Reince Priebus challenged Democrats "to join with us in keeping this memorial open."
Democrats labeled that a stunt. "We've already been working on a plan to open the Memorial—and the entire government—after the GOP caused them to close," said party spokesman Mo Elleithee. "It's called a clean" spending bill.
As it turned out, more than 125 World War II veterans from Mississippi and Iowa who were initially kept out of the memorial Tuesday were escorted to the site with the help of members of Congress. Officials made further arrangements to allow veterans groups into the memorial during the shutdown.
A sampling of federal agencies showed how unevenly the shutdown was felt across the government.
The Environmental Protection Agency and Department of Housing and Urban Development listed only six percent of their employees as essential, and therefore permitted to work during the impasse. James R. Clapper, director of national intelligence, said about 70 percent of civilian employees in agencies under his control had been sent home.
By contrast, about 86 percent of employees of the Department of Homeland Security remained on the job, and 95 percent at the Veterans Affairs Department.
One furloughed employee, meteorologist Amy Fritz, said, "I want to get back to work." At a news conference arranged by congressional Democrats, the 38-year-old National Weather Service employee said she has more than $100,000 in student loan debt and is looking at ways to cut her budget.
In an interview with CNBC before meeting with lawmakers, Obama said he would not negotiate with Republicans until the government is reopened and Congress votes to raise the debt limit.
"If we get in the habit where a few folks, an extremist wing of one party, whether it's Democrat or Republican, are allowed to extort concessions based on a threat (to) undermine the full faith and credit of the United States, then any president who comes after me, not just me, will find themselves unable to govern effectively," he said.
"The White House said Obama would have to truncate a long-planned trip to Asia, calling off the final two stops in Malaysia and the Philippines.
The shutdown also intruded into the race for governor of Virginia.
Terry McAuliffe, the Democrat, said he supported legislation to guarantee retroactive pay for furloughed federal employees. The Republican contender, Ken Cuccinelli, called on members of Congress to decline their pay as long as the shutdown lasts.
The House sidetracked legislation Tuesday night to reopen some veterans programs, the national parks and a portion of the Washington, D.C., municipal government. All three bills fell short of the two-thirds majority needed when Democrats voted overwhelmingly against this.
Republicans tried again, this time under rules requiring only a simple majority. The parks measure was approved on a vote of 252-173, with 23 Democrats breaking ranks and voting in favor. The vote to reopen NIH was 254-171. The House also voted to allow the Washington, D.C., government to use the taxes it collects to operate programs.
Votes were deferred on more bills, one to assure pay for members of the National Guard and Reserves and another to allow some veterans programs to resume.
The NIH bill was added to the day's agenda after Democrats had said seriously ill patients would be turned away from the facility's hospital of last resort, and no new enrollment permitted in experimental treatments.
Democratic Rep. Louise Slaughter of New York said the Republican response was a ploy. "Every time they see a bad headline they're going to bring a bill to the floor and make it go away," she said.
Some Republicans took obvious pleasure in the rough rollout Tuesday of new health insurance markets created under Obama's health care law. Widespread online glitches prevented many people from signing up for coverage that begins in January.
Rep. Trey Radel of Florida said a 14-year-old could build a better website "in an afternoon in his basement."
At issue is the need to pass a temporary funding bill to keep the government open since the start of the new budget year on Tuesday.
Congress has passed more than 100 temporary funding bills since the last shutdown in 1996, almost all of them without controversy. The streak was broken because conservative Republicans have held up the current measure in the longshot hope of derailing or delaying Obamacare, just as the health insurance markets at the heart of the law opened on Tuesday.

Finding just the right fit for your child and your busy schedule can take some time when looking for a quality child care program or preschool.
Walla Walla Community College's Child Care Aware of Washington program can help. In partnership with the state's Department of Early Learning, Child Care Aware is an online or phone referral service affiliated with Early Achievers, a system that helps parents evaluate how early learning programs are preparing children to succeed.
Tami Sirmon and Stephanie Kytola are the local Child Care Aware advocates. They offer referrals to high-quality child care or preschool programs, as well as information on how parents can evaluate the child care environment, tips for understanding child development and support for other parenting questions.
Advocates also offer information about average child care rates and availability.
In her role with Early Achievers, Sirmon visits local providers to assist in enhancing quality child care environments that foster a love of learning, promote each child's skills and supports the development of the whole child. To this end, Early Achievers has developed a voluntary assessment system for providers.
"We are here to support and encourage child care providers as they move through the process," said Sirmon, who with Kytola guide participants through the program. "Participants are happy to learn that they are eligible to enroll in three free online courses as well as three in-person classes."
There are five levels of quality in Early Achievers:
Level 1: Includes all licensed childcare centers, family childcare, military, tribal, Head Start and other state-funded programs.
Level 2: Involves program leadership completing a series of activities, including professional training and self-assessment.
Levels 3-5: Consist of ratings based on child outcomes, curriculum, learning, environments and interactions, professional development and training, as well as the degree of family engagement and partnership.
Along with gaining a greater sense of their individual program's strengths and weaknesses, participants also are eligible for a "tiered reimbursement system" by Early Achievers with funds provided through the Department of Early Learning.
Child care centers that reach Level 5 will be awarded $9,000; Level 4 achievers, $7,500; and Level 3, $5,000. Family childcare centers also are offered incentives, with awards reaching $2,750 annually for Level 5.
Another aspect of the program is its focus on family engagement and partnerships, aimed at strengthening parent-child bonds and their vital connection to school readiness and achievement.
Through Early Achievers, families provide valuable information about their children, which is used to best meet the needs of each child's developing strengths. A child's culture, language skills and abilities are considered in a quality program.
"It is a good thing to do," said Walla Walla Catholic Schools Director of Early Learning Catherine Wolpert of participating in Early Achievers. She said she plans to educate her staff on Early Achievers and anticipates that there will be modifications to her program .
Tracy Thompson is Walla Walla Valley Early Learning Coalition's communications and outreach coordinator.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The Florida lottery continues to contribute billions of dollars to public education. Mega Millions in particular has put an estimated $33.6 million into schools statewide since it began in Florida seven months ago. But it's not adding up to much money per student.
At the Gate gas station on Belfort Road, cashiers say they've been busy all day Tuesday. As the jackpot rises apparently so does the odds of folks willing to dish out some cold hard cash for a chance at winning it big. Terrie Brady, President of Duval Teachers United, encourages people to try their luck. According to the Florida lottery since it began back in 1988 through the 2012 fiscal year, a total of $26 billion has been pumped into public education statewide.
"We're glad it's there," said Brady. "It would be a disaster for public schools if the lottery money was not there to be supplanted."
Brady says the lottery money basically supplanted holes in the budget due to shortfalls in revenue, and it hasn't been an enhancement but it's certainly helping.
In the Jacksonville area including Duval, St Johns, Nassau, Baker, Clay and Flagler Counties, Meagan Dougherty with the Florida lottery says a total of 1.8 billion dollars has been contributed to schools. They provided this breakdown.
Florida Lottery Funding From 1988 to 2012 fiscal Year
Public School Funding: $801 million
School Construction: $393 million
State Universities and Colleges: $354 million
Bright Future Scholarships: $308 million
"Per student it's only a few pennies because we have so many students in the public schools," said Brady. "But I just don't know what we would have done if we had not had the lottery to fall back on."

You can send any data you want over SSL, including that which is encrypted with other encryption schemes like DES. SSL uses stream encryption, which works differently than public-key encryption.
There are plenty of resources on the web which explain encryption in detail; it is an interesting, if not a bit mathy, subject.

WASHINGTON - A divisive question in the debate over expanding offshore drilling is whether the federal government should share more annual drilling revenue with states.
Some states already get drilling revenue.
Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama, whose coastlines ring thousands of oil and natural gas platforms in the Gulf of Mexico, split $100 million in fiscal 2008 revenue from those wells. California, which has a moratorium on new wells, got $37.7 million from offshore energy and minerals and Alaska got $29.6 million from offshore energy. ...

"Our people look for a cause to believe in. Is it a third party we need, or is it a new and revitalized second party, raising a banner of no pale pastels, but bold colors which make it unmistakably clear where we stand on all of the issues troubling the people?" Ronald Wilson Reagan
Cantor's immigration position didn't help, but this stunner is because he was out of touch with the district that had elected him by rote seven previous times, although his percentage of the vote had dropped in each of the last four general elections.
On primary election day, Cantor was in Washington D.C., not his home district. Retail Politics 101 is you vote in your home district on election day. You do it if you're from North Dakota and you especially do it when your home state is Virginia, in the shadow of the nation's capital.
Cantor became the darling of K Street and Wall Street and his constituents were secondary.
There are many congressmen and senators who deserve Cantor's fate. Those who no longer vote the wishes of the constituents, but vote to secure their power base among the Beltway Elite and their benefactors. They are in both parties.
There are many more bums who need to be thrown out. Don't stop now.

This year the pumpkin patch went just a bit crazy. We've had fun watching them grow over the summer. In checking over the weekend I found that about half the pumpkins had unexpected rotten spots. Those got left for the wildlife and the rest I harvested. They look nice lined up on the side porch where hopefully they will cure and be ready for passing out in Oct.
However, one had a couple of worms in the stem, so I decided it would be fun to explore it today before it rotted. What's a little more heat in the kitchen on this steamy morning.
We'll end up with roasted chunks for eating, puree for later use in soups and baked goods, and the best……roasted, slightly salted seeds for snacking!

At VegVoyages, we want you to walk away from your adventure with much more than just a few snapshots – we want you to become part of the destination and leave the country with an understanding of its people, culture, history and let's not forget…food!
We don't attempt to insulate you from the realities of a destination. When you travel with VegVoyages, you should expect to see the country as it is. From the pretty to the not so pretty, we want you to experience it all.
VegVoyages doesn't "5-star" hotel hop. Once you've seen one international chain hotel you've seen them all. We want your accommodations to be unique – a destination in themselves. We care about where you stay and try to bring you as close as possible, including in choice of accommodations, to being a part of the destination you are visiting. Our accommodations vary depending on where we are, but they are always clean and comfortable. We may stay in a centuries-old royal haveli (mansion) or private palace in the badlands of Rajasthan, or at a peaceful eco-retreat nestled among some of the oldest mountains in all of Asia. We may stay in a wood beachfront cabana on a tropical island, at a charming locally owned bed and breakfast in a colonial-era villa, or in a remote village as guests of a local family where time goes by much as it has for centuries. Wherever we may be, we always try to stay in places that capture the region's charm and uniqueness.
Transport on a VegVoyages adventure varies from place to place. It could be in a traditional village boat floating down river to the sounds of local village life along the water's shores or cruising along the banks of a peaceful lake where glimpses of a bygone era fill the sights and sounds in an almost half-millennium year old lakeside city. It could be navigating the sea by local boat out to remote uninhabited islands or traversing the back alleys of an ancient temple town by rickshaw (tuk-tuks) where colorful bustling bazaars and roadside vendors selling everything from local savories to herbal remedies are the norm. It could be traveling over the barren desert of Rajasthan in an open top jeep or enjoying the tranquility of a world heritage protected national park bird sanctuary by bicycle. Whatever form of transport we use though, whether traveling by jeeps, vans, rickshaws, trains, buses, boats, bicycles or songthaews – we strongly believe that getting there is half the fun!
We know vegans love to eat too – and there's a lot more to veg food than salads and side dishes. That's why food plays an important part in all of our adventures! Tasty, spicy, sweet or sour – our pure vegan food highlights the culinary traditions of our destinations. You'll probably even put on a little extra weight too on a VegVoyages adventure as we spend a lot of time enjoying all the tantalizing delicacies found wherever we are. For more details on the food served on a VegVoyages adventure, please see our Food page.
Responsible travel and giving back to the communities and places we visit is an important philosophy at VegVoyages. We feel it is important to make travel and discovery beneficial to everyone – our guests and the people and places we visit. As part of VegVoyages' aim to bring people closer to the destination we are in, we regularly visit with our groups to raise awareness and contribute to several worthy causes. From helping keep rural schools running by providing books and other materials to assisting in funding for grassroots animal rights and care organizations. For us travel is not only our business, but a way to do something – however modest it may be – to help communities, people, animals and other causes we believe in. In addition to direct help, we always try to use locally grown produce and ingredients for our meals, local labor to help as guides, cooks, drivers, etc., stay in locally owned accommodations and conduct our adventures in as an eco-friendly way as possible.
On our adventures, we like to travel in a way that appreciates cultures and lifestyles vastly different from our own. We respect local customs and cultures, rather than imposing ourselves on them. And it's important to note that cultural differences and certain "standards" may be quite different from what you may be used to – but that's all part of the adventure. Though sometimes it may be trying, it will always be exhilarating – and we guarantee you will fully appreciate the destination.
PLEASE NOTE: VegVoyages does not use animals on our tours for expeditions, rides and/or safaris. Laws concerning the humane treatment of animals are lacked and rarely enforced in the regions our tours go to. Although there are exceptions, many animals such as horses, camels and elephants are often mistreated, forced to work long hours and live in poor conditions without proper care. Should you individually decide to engage activities where animals are used – such as safaris – please check to see that the animals you are "hiring" have been treated well and that their living and working conditions are humane. Thank you for your understanding.

Elliot's Monographs: A Magnificent Legacy
by AMNH on
The following excerpt from Natural Histories: Extraordinary Rare Book Selections from the American Museum of Natural History Library (Sterling Signature, 2012), edited by Tom Baione, the Museum Library's director, highlights the role of rare 19th- and 20th-century monographs in advancing science. It was written by Joel L. Cracraft, chair of the Division of Vertebrate Zoology.
Researchers Discover Oldest Primate Fossil Skeleton on Record
by AMNH on
The world's oldest known fossil primate skeleton is from an animal that lived about 55 million years ago and was even smaller than today's smallest primate, the pygmy mouse lemur. The new specimen, named Archicebus achilles, was unearthed from an ancient lake bed in central China and is described by an international team of researchers today in the journal Nature.
Scientific Snapshots Capture Evolutionary Stepping Stone to Land Plants, Animals
by AMNH on
New research out of the Museum today is the first to provide definitive proof that green algae eat bacteria. The finding, captured with electron microscope images, offers a glimpse at how scientists think early organisms acquired free-living chloroplasts, the structures responsible for converting light into food. This event is thought to be a critical first step in the evolution of photosynthetic algae and land plants, which helped raise oxygen levels in Earth's atmosphere and paved the way for the rise of animals.
Ancient Mexican Temple Precinct Housed Specialized Priesthood
by AMNH on
Excavations at Mexico's Valley of Oaxaca have recovered the region's earliest known temple precinct, which, according to a new study by the American Museum of Natural History, existed about 1,500 years earlier than similar temples described by colonial Europeans. The findings are described this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Review for The Florida Research Institute For Equine Nurturing Devel & Saf, Ft. Lauderdale, FL, USA
I've sponsored a horse at this ranch and have seen the dedication and care that are given to the animals. They take in as many rescues as they can. Animals with the EIA disease and others that have been starved and abandoned. If it were not for this organization many animals would have been sent to their death through no fault of their own. The animals are well taken care of and loved by all the volunteers.
Role: Donor & Sponsored a horse..(the best horse I've came across so far).

You were so sorry.
Of all the things you regret, this one is right at the top. The bad haircut, that horrible outfit you loved at the time, things lost or lent and never found -- those are all unimportant.
No, you're most remorseful for the thing you didn't do. You missed saying words that would have meant so much to someone.
Regrets? You've lived through them, but in the new novel "The Goat Woman of Largo Bay" by Gillian Royes, the sorrowful omission of one woman sets off a chain of events that changes an entire island.
Jamaica, says Miss Mac, is 150 miles long and 50 miles wide. Weather on the island is warm and there are two seasons: dry and wet.
It was the latter that nearly destroyed Eric Keller, an American who'd once owned a luxury hotel on a Largo peninsula. That was before the hurricane destroyed a bridge of land, leaving the hotel broken and inaccessible, a shabby island in its place.
And now there was something on that island.
Shadrack Myers, Keller's bartender and right-hand man, spotted the figure on the island and it was a woman, not the goat he thought he'd first seen. When he and Keller rowed out to make her leave, she informed them that she was staying, offering Keller money he couldn't refuse. She needed time, she said.
Shad could see that Keller was smitten with the woman, Simone, but it was obvious that she was harboring sorrowful secrets.
Secret-holding wasn't foreign to Shad.
When he was just a teenager, he was involved in petty crimes and was sent to prison. There, a giant of a man saved Shad from assaults and they became brothers. But now Dollar Bill was sniffing around, hinting that Shad owed him a favor, asking for some information that Shad wasn't willing to gather.
He had his hands full, anyway.
Eric Keller was worried about Simone, and he needed Shad's help. Simone's brother had come to town to fetch her, two thugs were suddenly stalking her, and curious Largoites were being kept away through the power of obeah medicine.
She had only asked for time to heal. But time appeared to be running out.
Like a sun-warmed afternoon on a white island beach, "The Goat Woman of Largo Bay" is an unhurried novel that's perfectly pina colada-sippable.
Or, you might get the urge to take big gulps of this book, too.
That's because author Gillian Royes keeps the action going with Island patois, an authentic location, and a cast of characters that you'll surely enjoy meeting. I can't wait, in fact, to read the next book about Shad Myers, a Jamaican man who isn't highly educated, can't read well, and doesn't understand fancy words but who possesses smarts and the kind of street cred you'd find in Jamaica, Queens.
I think if you're looking for an easy-going, well-paced, non-violent mystery, you're going to like "The Goat Woman of Largo Bay." Grab this book soon because if you miss it, you'll be sorry.
"The Goat Woman of Largo Bay," by Gillian Royes, copyright 2011 by Atria Books, is 306 pages and sells for $15.

QUESTION: A couple of my Facebook friends have posted a link to a program that says it can tell me who visits my profile. Is this real?
ANSWER: No, it's not. Most of the information about profile views and details like that are kept deep in Facebook's servers. There aren't programs readily available that can give you this information. One good way to spot a scam like this is that several of your friends posted it. I'm willing to bet all of those posts look the same, and weren't in those friends' usual tone of voice. That means your friends clicked on the scam and the post was automatically added to their profile. If you see posts like these, it's best to just ignore them and not click them.
Q. Is the iPad Mini a better buy than the Nexus 7 or Kindle Fire HD? Which would you recommend?
A. I don't think the iPad Mini is the best buy of this bunch. It's really only the smartest buy if you're already invested in Apple products. If you don't have a bunch of Apple apps already, the Nexus 7 and Fire HD are a bit more powerful and you'll pay less. As for deciding between those two, that depends on what other services you have. If you have or want to sign up for Amazon Prime, stick with the Fire HD. If you use Google Calendar or other Google Web apps, you'll find the most value with the Nexus 7.
Q. All the text and images on my monitor suddenly got huge. How do I fix this?
A. The problem lies with your monitor's resolution. All monitors have an ideal resolution, and your monitor is currently using one that is too low. That means more pixels are going into each letter, which makes it look weird. To change it in Vista and 7, go to Start>>Control Panel>>Appearance and Personalization>>Adjust Screen Resolution. Click the drop-down list next to resolution to change it and click "Apply."
In XP, right-click the Desktop, select Properties and adjust the resolution slider. If you like what you see, click "Keep." You might have to try a few different resolutions before you find the best one for your monitor.
Q. I clicked a link in an e-mail that had a .gov on the end of it. Now I think there might be a virus on my computer. Is this possible?
A. Definitely. Some scammers have a trick that makes a government website redirect to a malicious site. All they have to do is attach their link to a .gov address in a certain way. Then, they can shorten the link of a sketchy looking URL to make it look like it's a .gov address.
The best way to avoid this is to never click on a link in a sketchy e-mail. If you're not sure, manually visit the website in your browser and then use the site's search to find the right information. You should also download a security program like Avast! or AVG to protect yourself.

Marie Soyka of Clark tutors Belinda Pauling, 26, of Rahway, through Literacy Volunteers of Union County.

"Retirement is not always what you think it will be," said township resident Marie Soyka, who worked as a legal secretary for Pathmark Corporation and then for a judge in the Union County Family Court.
The 69-year-old grandmother of six had imagined lots of travel, visiting friends and fun projects around the house. But after retiring at the end of 2010, she found herself in a slump.
"The first few weeks of retirement felt like vacation," she said, "but after that, I knew I had to do something. There's more to life than cooking, cleaning and baby-sitting." ...

We present a free online resource about biography of famous personalities from around the world. Our library serves as a great help to students, educators and researchers. It brings forth valuable and relevant information about these people who have always been under public glare.
India's 13th President Pranab Kumar Mukherjee has a meaningful political career for over six decades, earlier holding different senior positions in Indian National Congress party and also in different Ministerial positions, some of them very important at critical periods, immediately before being chosen as the Presidential candidate he was the Union Finance Minister, when the country was concerned with critical situations in the area of Economic development.
Mukherjee's entry to Indian Parliament was in 1969 when he joined Rajya Sabha through a Congress ticket, with the support of the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, soon to take up important positions in the Party and Parliamentary affairs, becoming the most trusted party member to Indira Gandhi, with his first time getting into her Ministry in 1973 later in important Ministerial positions, while he was the Leader of the House in the Rajya Sabha from 1980 to 1985.
When Indira Gandhi was assassinated in 1984, there was a strong rumor that Mukherjee was to take over as the Prime Minister, which fact caused rift and a kind of grouping within the party, ending up in Rajiv Gandhi, Indira's son, who took over as the Prime Minister not including him in his Ministry, following which situation Mukherjee left the Congress Party and formed another party with a few followers calling it Rashtriya Samajwadi Congress, however, in 1989, when he reached a compromise with Rajiv Gandhi, this party merged with the main stream.
Pranab Kumar Mukherjee's active participation in the Government came back when P V Narasimha Rao took over as the Prime Minister after Rajiv Gandhi, who was unfortunately assassinated by a Srilankan Tamil extremist in 1991, when he was made the Head of Planning Commission in 1991 and again as the Foreign Minister in 1995, later Mukherjee was to play a key role in bringing Sonia Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi's widow, in order to revamp and reorganize the party for gaining better political strength.
When Congress regained the Central Ministry, on formation of UPA, namely United Progressive Alliance, in 2004, during which Election only Mukherjee contested and won the Lok Sabha seat for the first time in his political career, he gained the number two position in the Ministry next only to the Prime Minister, occupying Ministerial positions of Defense in 2004-06, External Affairs in 2006-09 and Finance in 2009-12, while he headed a few Groups of Ministers committees as the Leader of House in the Lok Sabha, until he gave consent for the Presidential candidature, finally to defeat P A Sangma his opponent in Presidential Elections with a sizable majority of 70% of the votes, as he was the Officially nominated candidate of the ruling Government and also popular among various political parties.

Ended up here one night after Happy Hour. Sat at the bar because we wanted to watch the hockey game. I started with a lychee martini. Yum and not too strong. For dinner I got the Grilled Cheese, Tomato Soup – Gruyère / Tomato Soup / Challah Bread. This was really awesome. The grilled cheese was perfect. Like if I lived in Clarendon, I could see myself eating this a few times a month. Tomato soup was great too. Not to thin, great consistency.
Bar area is pretty decent sized. There is also a roof top terrace and 2nd floor dining room.

jury 1 - Bermuda Gold Cup
Logan Fraser of the Zoke Kiwi Match team provides this update from the Argo Group Gold Cup, being sailed in Bermuda. The event is an ISAF Grade 1 event, and is part of the World Match Racing Tour.
We always knew it was going to be tough racing in Bermuda, our first World Tour Event of the year. We were hoping to walk away with a solid outcome, but unfortunately the task was a little beyond us. The Bermuda Gold Cup is renowned for its cut throat format combined with a challengingly different boat in the International One Design, the level required to do well here is always extremely high.
With 24 of the world's best match racing teams competing in Bermuda there was never going to be an easy pass into the Semi Finals. Our group was definitely one of the tougher ones, however, including Ian Williams, Mathieu Richard and Damien Iehl, all sailing at the top of their game this season.
The format has no allowance for a slow start and regrettably, on day 1 of our group sailing, that is exactly what we had. Our focus was perhaps a little to much on getting our heads around the different style of boat which lead us to make some unforced match racing errors. All our races were close, but at this level, no mistake goes unpunished. We did manage to pick up our game on day 2, though, to chalk up a couple of wins, eventually finishing sixth in our pool.
Jury 2 - Bermuda Gold Cup
The next couple of days will be spent enjoying the local island hospitality and having a look around the beautiful island of Bermuda. We then have to high-tail it to the other side of the world for our next event, the Monsoon Cup Qualifier in Malaysia.
Be sure to check out live coverage of the Bermuda Gold Cup Finals on the World Match Racing Tour website www.wmrt.com as well as the daily morning and afternoon shows. More info can also be found on our team website www.kiwimatch-sailing.com with our twitter feed, photos and videos and remember to follow the link to join our Facebook page.
Thanks again to our principal sponsor ZOKE, for making it possible for us to be here and our family, friends and fans for all their support.

Hate Crime—Overview
Investigating hate crime is the number one priority of our Civil Rights Program. Why? Not only because hate crime has a devastating impact on families and communities, but also because groups that preach hatred and intolerance plant the seeds of terrorism here in our country.
Defining a Hate Crime
A hate crime is a traditional offense like murder, arson, or vandalism with an added element of bias. For the purposes of collecting statistics, Congress has defined a hate crime as a "criminal offense against a person or property motivated in whole or in part by an offender's bias against a race, religion, disability, ethnic origin or sexual orientation." Hate itself is not a crime—and the FBI is mindful of protecting freedom of speech and other civil liberties.
|Defining a Hate Crime
A hate crime is a traditional offense like murder, arson, or vandalism with an added element of bias. For the purposes of collecting statistics, Congress has defined a hate crime as a "criminal offense against a person or property motivated in whole or in part by an offender's bias against a race, religion, disability, ethnic origin or sexual orientation." Hate itself is not a crime—and the FBI is mindful of protecting freedom of speech and other civil liberties.
FBI Jurisdiction
A hate crime is not a distinct federal offense. However, the federal government can and does investigate and prosecute crimes of bias as civil rights violations, which do fall under its jurisdiction. These efforts serve as a backstop for state and local authorities, which handle the vast majority of hate crime cases. A 1994 federal law also increased penalties for offenses proven to be hate crimes.
In 2009, the passage of a new law—the first significant expansion of federal criminal civil rights law since the mid-1990s—gave the federal government the authority to prosecute violent hate crimes, including violence and attempted violence directed at the gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender community, to the fullest extent of its jurisdiction. The Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr., Hate Crimes Prevention Act also provides funding and technical assistance to state, local, and tribal jurisdictions to help them to more effectively investigate, prosecute, and prevent hate crimes.
The FBI's Role
As part of its responsibility to uphold the civil rights of the American people, the FBI takes a number of steps to combat the problem of hate crimes:
- Investigative Activities: The FBI is the sole investigative force for criminal violations of federal civil rights statutes. In 2012, we initiated 200 hate crime investigations, many jointly with our state and local law enforcement partners.
- Cold Case Initiative: In 2007, we announced this renewed focus on racially-motivated killings from the civil rights era, involving FBI agents from more than a dozen field offices who—with the assistance of our law enforcement partners, community leaders, and the media—identified cases and then began tracking down witnesses and locating family members, pursuing leads, reviewing law enforcement records and other documents, and seeking closure for family members. As reported in the October 2012 Attorney General's Fourth Annual Report to Congress Pursuant to the Emmett Till Unsolved Civil Rights Crime Act of 2007, investigations into 92 of the 112 cold cases identified have been concluded (in most of these 92 cases, the subjects are deceased). The initiative has, so far, resulted in one successful federal prosecution and one successful state prosecution.
- Law Enforcement Support: The FBI works closely with state/local authorities on investigations, even when federal charges are not brought. FBI resources, forensic expertise, and experience in identification and proof of hate-based motivations often provide an invaluable complement to local law enforcement. Many cases are also prosecuted under state statutes such as murder, arson, or more recent local ethnic intimidation laws. Once the state prosecution begins, the Department of Justice monitors the proceedings in order to ensure that the federal interest is vindicated and the law is applied equally among the 95 U.S. Judicial Districts.
- The FBI forwards completed reports to U.S. Attorneys and the Civil Rights Division at the Department of Justice, which decide whether a federal prosecution is warranted. They may move forward, for example, if local authorities are unwilling or unable to prosecute a crime of bias.
- Hate crimes directed at the U.S. government or the American population may be investigated as acts of domestic terrorism. Incidents involving hate groups are also investigated as domestic terrorism (the FBI's Civil Rights Program cannot investigate groups, only individuals).
The FBI investigated what are now called hate crimes as far back as World War I. Our role increased following the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Before then, the federal government took the position that protection of civil rights was a local function, not a federal one. However, the murders of civil rights workers Michael Schwerner, Andrew Goodman, and James Chaney, near Philadelphia, Mississippi, in June 1964 provided the impetus for a visible and sustained federal effort to protect and foster civil rights for African Americans. MIBURN, as the case was called (it stood for Mississippi Burning), became the largest federal investigation ever conducted in Mississippi. On October 20, 1967, seven men were convicted of conspiring to violate the constitutional rights of the slain civil rights workers. All seven were sentenced to prison terms ranging from three to ten years.
- Hate Crimes Working Groups (HCWGs): The majority of the FBI's field offices participate in local Hate Crime Working Groups. These Working Groups combine community and law enforcement resources to develop strategies to address local hate crime problems.
- Public Outreach: The FBI has forged partnerships nationally and locally with many civil rights organizations to establish rapport, share information, address concerns, and cooperate in solving problems. These groups include such organizations as the NAACP, the Southern Poverty Law Center, the Anti-Defamation League, the National Asian Pacific American Legal Consortium, the National Organization for Women, the Human Rights Campaign, and the National Disability Rights Network.
- Training: The FBI conducts hundreds of operational seminars, workshops, and training sessions annually for local law enforcement, minority and religious organizations, and community groups to promote cooperation and reduce civil rights abuses. Each year, the FBI also provides hate crimes training for new agents, hundreds of current agents, and thousands of police officers worldwide.
How Hate Crimes are Investigated and Prosecuted
- The FBI initiates a hate crime investigation when an allegation is received from a reliable source. Most complaints are received from the victim, a witness, or a third party. Many cases are also initiated by media reports, community group complaints, referrals from Department of Justice or U.S. Attorneys, and congressional inquiries.
- Under guidelines developed in conjunction with the Department of Justice, once a complaint is received, the FBI will determine if the matter warrants a preliminary or full investigation.
- Once a case is opened, a logical investigation is conducted within a reasonable period of time.


text: Child's Crucifixion Appears to Have Been a Lie No evidence for Russian state TV story: opposition leaders By Matt Cantor, Newser User Posted Jul 15, 2014 1:40 PM CDT STORY COMMENTS (79) (Newser) – Viewers of Russian state TV recently learned about a 3-year-old boy nailed to a board by Ukrainian officials in front of his mother; it was "just like Jesus," the report said. Afterward, the mother, who was said to have committed a crime, was reportedly dragged around a central square in Slovyansk behind a tank. It's a story that would shock any viewer, but the thing is: There's no indication that it actually happened, Russian opposition leaders say, per the Daily Beast. They suggest the story was made up to stir anti-Ukraine sentiment. Russia's most popular TV station cited just one witness, and opposition figure Boris Nemtsov is calling the story "dangerously false." A Wall Street Journal reporter did some investigating of his own: "I spoke with dozens of people, but strangely, none of them mentioned anything about the crucifixion of a 3-year-old boy," Alan Cullison noted, according to the Moscow Times. A Russian journalist's video comes to a similar conclusion, the Times reports. But "on seeing the horrors of such inhuman torture, an ordinary viewer would have only one intention: to join the volunteer forces and 'seek revenge against the Ukrainian fascists,'" Nemtsov posted on Facebook.

Charges have now been filed in the beating of a Sevier County Jail inmate.
According to Sheriff Ron Seals, a Sevier County Grand Jury indicted Edmund Walter Dahm, 39, on one count of Aggravated Assault on Monday.
On June 6, Seals says Dahm assaulted Ronald L. McDaniel inside the jail. McDaniel was injured and taken to UT Medical Center.
McDaniel's family says he is in critical condition and is now a quadriplegic and is on a ventilator. They also allege that jail guards left him lying on the floor for hours before getting him medical treatment.
The FBI has opened an investigation into the incident, to determine if if guards at the jail committed Color of Laws abuses. Those are violations of McDaniel's civil rights that could include denying him medical attention. That investigation could take several months.

Here is my post from your previous thread. I forget and ask the same stuff twice sometimes.
Is it the village inn plaza your staying at?
It's on the lions head side. Regardless, everything is close by in the villages(lions head, vail village and golden peak) and the bus system is free. There is a smaller park on the lions head side called Bwana. also a really beginner park called pride park.
Last year golden peak had a great variety of rails and boxes, better than brecks, they lacked in jumps though.... I work with the park managers wife and have gotten to know him and my son rides on vails full-time team this year so I've been in some of the meetings about their park build this year as well as talked to their park manager about it. The park on golden peak side should be incredible and open by then. There will he a 18' and 22' pipe. The 22 is planned to be the biggest in the world this year, something like 650' long. There should be only 2 jump lines in golden peak this year... Medium and large ranging from 25-75' sizes. They also plan a mini BX coarse where the smaller jump line and baby pipe was last year. There should end up being a 4 jump smaller line in bwana up to 30' and a really small beginner jump line there also. All of the bwana features are "ride on". Most of golden peaks are not ride on.
BA is kinda right about SPT, they will help in design and initial setup of the pipe and park but the crew here will be doing their own building. The guys at SPT and the management here are pretty close and worked together prior to SPT.
So far the plan is to have the park open by the last week of november and all of the new snow canons are already in place to make the alpine race course, parks and pipe now. Just waiting for the right temps in a week or so.
As for movies, buy tickets early, they sale out that time of year. Cinebestro is what its called in vail village at the solaris. Nicest theatre I have been too, not the biggest though. If you wanna eat at restaurants you should make reservations.... They book up fast. Montauk grill, bart and yetis and billys in lionshead are good nice places. Old forge and blue moose pizza are great. Snowboard shop to go to is one track mind, they are awesome people.
Restaurants in vail village that are good are Lancelot and sweet basil. The movie theatre serves excellent food also......
Our usually dinning place is garfinkles in lions head right a the base of the gondola. Best deck around and decent prices. Bully ranch in vail village is awesome for steaks and burgers.
Any other shit you wanna know?

The Little Details
Running Time: 87 min.
Production Date: 7 / 4 / 2004
Director: Guy Capo
Cast: Kayla Marie, Trinity Post, Trista, Violet Blue, Billy Banks, Bishop, Cuntree Pipes, D. Wise, Dwayne Cummings, Tone Capone, and Johnny Depth
The Short Story
Initial Expectations: Normally this would seem like one I�d avoid, but with Guy Capo behind the camera and Trista in front of it taking a creampie I�ve gotta give it a chance!
Initial Reaction: The sex is pretty good, but there�s a malicious feeling that turned me off more than a little a bit.
Who Should Watch It : Anybody wanting interracial creampies
Who Should Avoid It: Anybody wanting creampies in a setup where they�re wanted rather than a punishment
The Technical Stuff
Audio /Video Quality: The technical aspects are nicely done. The audio is clear and well balanced, and I don�t think I noticed a single background noise. The video also shows some nice care, and is nicely lit with barely a hint of grain.
Music: The music is pretty typical porn music, and is nicely balanced with the rest of the audio.
Menus: The main menu is okay and blends a little animation and a bit of the movie. The chapter menu lets you choose a scene based on a small clip of each scene and the girl in the scene and then lets you choose where in the scene you want to go with a secondary menu.
The FeatureThe scenes each start out with the girl talking about who�d be the most freaked out about them doing their scene in the movie, birth control, interracial sex, and racism. They move on with a little story to set up each scene. Each scene contains one white girl taking on two black guys, and finish things up with both black guys popping in the girl�s pussy.
|Scene 1 - Trista, Billy Banks, and Cuntree Pipes
Brunette Trista heads out to the barn to have a talk with the hired help. She lets them know they�re going to be taking a cut in pay and how she knows they�ve been watching her when she�s bathing or trying to make a baby with her husband. After she slaps Cuntree, they turn the tables on her, pushing her against the wall and letting her know that they know she�s been watching them bathing as well. They push her to her knees and have her start sucking cock, which Trista eagerly goes at. They rip her clothes off and have her ride Cuntree while sucking Billy�s bone a bit more. Billy bulls her off so he can fuck her from behind while she sucks Cuntree�s cock before letting Cuntree have a go at her. They keep working her through both cowgirls, missionary, and a bit of spooning. Finally, Cuntree pops in her pussy as Trista rides him cowgirl style followed by Billy dropping his load in her pussy missionary style. Afterwards, she lets it flow out of her pussy.
This is a hot and fun scene. Trista looks fantastic and turns out a hot and fun performance. She and the guys look to really be into each other and they throw plenty of fun lines in about her husband and how much better they are. The scene moves along nicely and has a nice mix of camera angles. This is a nice scene to start the movie out with despite the �unwanted� creampie ending.
|Scene 2 - Violet Blue, Dwayne Cummings, and D. Wise
Violet isn�t happy about going from being a hot shot prosecutor for the LA DA to working in the county clerk�s office. She starts taking it out on janitor D. Wise, and after a little talk with him finds out that she helped get one of his coworkers locked up. They quickly back her in a corner, with Dwayne giving her a cock to suck while D. moves down to eat her pussy. D. comes up to get a little cocksucking in before Violet climbs up to bounce on Dwayne�s bone reverse cowgirl style. D. takes her from behind before letting Dwayne have another turn with her from behind. She also rides him reverse cowgirl style before he pops in her pussy missionary style. D. Wise supposedly pops in her pussy as well, but you never see any evidence.
This is a pretty good scene. Violet does a great job with the guys and puts some nice energy into it. The camera work left a little bit to be desired for me, as it had an angle where you couldn�t really tell who was fucking Violet at any time, and it also lacked a bit since Dwayne appeared to take most of the time with Violet. There�s some nice heat here, but a little better balance, a slightly different camera angle, and a real pop from D. Wise would have really helped things out here.
|Scene 3 - Trinity Post, Johnny Depth, and Tone Capone
When cute young brunette Trinity shows up at the club looking for her husband, she thinks he�s cheating on her. After a little talking, they decide that she should maybe have a secret of her own and start to strip her down. Trinity is a little nervous at first, but quickly gets over her qualms and starts to suck Johnny�s cock. When she turns around to taste Tone�s cock Johnny starts fucking her from behind. Trinity lies back so that Tone can fuck her missionary style and even lets him fuck her from behind while she licks Johnny�s balls. Johnny gets his second turn reverse cowgirl style before letting Tone take her doggie style. Tony pops in her pussy, and afterwards Johnny seconds his seed in her snatch missionary style.
This is a pretty good scene. Trinity really gets into fucking both guys, and the camera captures it pretty well. Johnny seemed like a bit of a weak link here, and his facial expressions made me wonder if he was trying to channel Ray Charles taking a shit. Both guys look like they give Trinity a good load, and she lets it drip out nicely.
|Scene 4 - Kayla Marie, Billy Banks, and Bishop
Bishop brings dirty blonde Kayla to Billy when she needs a little help with her chemistry. After giving her a little powder, they decide to take their pound of flesh. She sucks each of them and lets Bishop finger her pussy and fuck her from behind. Billy takes his turn cowgirl style, and they continue to work Kayla over in both cowgirls as well as in doggie. Bishop pops in Kayla�s pussy first doggie style, with Kayla barely even noticing. He goes back to fucking her a little and then lets Billy pop in her pussy missionary style as Kayla whines about him cumming inside her and they taunt her about having crack addicted twins.
This scene didn�t do much of anything for me, and I had a very hard time not reaching for the remote to get through it. Kayla looked like a whiny little spoiled brat and the overall feeling of the scene with the guys drugging her up and fucking her did absolutely nothing for me. The camera work was okay, but the artistic effects sometimes threw me out of the scene. More than anything, though, the ending made me hate the scene. I can�t say that I cared for the other creampie endings, but here it worked even less and brought the entire movie down for me. This was easily my least favorite scene in the movie.
Inseminated By 2 Black Men is a nicely done porno that just didn�t work for me completely. I really like the interviews before the scenes, and the setup for each of the scenes is nicely done as well. The girls all seem to get into black cock very well and put out some nice energy that Guy Capo captures very well with the camera. He gives a pretty good mix of angles and throws in a little of that artistic stuff he does so well as well. My problem with the movie is the cream pie attitude. The last couple movies I�ve seen from Kick Ass has had a derogatory and malicious feeling, and that continues into this one as well. The cream pies are never treated as something natural or fun, and instead are treated as a way to punish the women by hopefully giving them a black baby that they don�t want. Yes, the girls normally protest in a way that�s half playful, but the camera hangs around to show them looking unhappy at the prospects of getting pregnant with a black baby. This feeling definitely brought the movie down for me, and also brought down my thoughts on Kick Ass as a company. When they started, their movies had a fun and playful feeling that few other companies seemed to have a grasp of. Now they seem to think it�s more enjoyable to focus on people who aren�t completely enjoying sex, which definitely causes it to lose a lot of my interest. Inseminated By 2 Black Men continues that feeling, and lets me know that I don�t seem to be missing too much by not checking out a lot of what Kick Ass is putting out.
The Extra StuffTrailers are included for 5 Guy Cream Pie 12, 10 Man Cum Slam 6, A Load In Every Hole 9, Jellyt 4, Mary Carey Rules! 5, Chica Boom 26, Teen Power! 9, and Barefoot Confidential 31. Bios are included for each of the girls including a little personal information for each. There�s also bloopers, bonus tease, and commercials.
The blooper reel lasts about five minutes. In addition to your usual flubbed lines, there�s also a couple sexual bloopers with Violet Blue getting leg cramps. There�s also Trista working on slapping CunTree and Kayla working on her lines while getting fucked. It�s a nice blooper reel that�s well worth checking out if you enjoy bloopers.
The bonus tease lasts just over five minutes. This comes off more like extra footage than a tease extra. It cuts willy nilly back and forth between the girls with them teasing the camera, diddling themselves, and getting it on a little with their partners. As is, it leaves plenty to be desired and barely held my interest. If each girl would have had a quick little tease that was kept all together where it could build into something it would have been much better.
The Down -n- Dirty Sex Stuff
Themes: Straight, interracial, group, and creampies
Raincoat Factor: High
Condom Usage: None
The Bottom Line:Currently, many of Kick Ass�s DVDs can be found online for between about $19 and $25 with stores offering them everywhere in between. Rent this one first. There�s some good sex, but there�s also a dark and malicious feeling that might turn off a few people. The technical aspects are nicely done and there�s a bit of effort put into the extras. This is a pretty well made DVD.
Note to Kick Ass Productions: It�d be nice if you went back to making porn where things seemed fully consensual rather than going for the non-consensual and derogatory feel that most of your recent movies seem to have.

With an emphasis on clinical practice, clinical supervision, program management and practice-based research, the MSW program provides advanced professional study for women and men in the field of social work. The curriculum's focus on clinical social work practice develops practice skills in working with individuals, small groups and families dealing with problems such as poverty, discrimination, mental illness, developmental disability and oppression.
Grounded in the social work profession students at the advanced level deepen their understanding of social work identity as the lens through which they engage with advanced level theories and conceptual frameworks of human behavior and the social environment, models of multidimentional assessment and multiple frameworks for evidence informed intervention, particularly in the context of the therapeutic relationship.
Drawing upon the definitions of clinical social work adopted by the National Association of Social Workers and the Council on Social Work Education, we define the practice of clinical social work in the following manner:
Clinical social work is the professional application of advanced social work theory and methods to help restore, maintain, and enhance bio-psycho-social-spiritual functioning in individuals, groups, families, and communities. It is built upon the foundation of generalist social work including respect for diversity, empowerment of client systems, and advocacy of social and economic justice for vulnerable populations. It utilizes the application of clinical knowledge and skills in multidimentional assessment, diagnosis and treatment of emotional, mental and behavioral disorders, conditions, and addictions with special attention devoted to a strengths and person-in-environment perspective.
There are several distinct features of our MSW Program's clinical curriculum:
The MSW Program-at-a-glance provides a good overview of the program or, if you're ready to take the Next Steps, you can learn sign up to attend an information session, schedule a one-on-one conversation, or start the application process.

The lot that was interesting to me was the huge 729 bottle collection of scotch. It was a combination of single malts, vattings, and blends. It went for $102k. And while that is indeed a very very large amount of money, in many ways it is kind of a deal. Of course I don't know the details about what was in this lot, but this averages out to $140 a bottle. Supposedly this lot had many older bottlings and bottlings from closed distilleries. So when you think about the time and effort that was spent to create this collection, $102k sounds like steal if you were a rich dude who liked scotch. (Not that I even remotely in a position to call any $102k luxury purchase a steal. )
The question for me is why?!? Why did some guy spend huge amounts of time, effort, and money for this collection only to sell it? The logical answer is that the person passed away and the kids sold it, but maybe not.
Maybe one of us who has amassed a huge bourbon collection will one day wake up and say, "Hmmm. You know what? I don't like bourbon anymore. Time to send my 500 bottle collection to auction!"
More info: http://www.christies.com/LotFinder/l...jectId=5014925
The 1926 Macallan was on the Mission Liquor website a couple years ago for $34,000. Little did I know what it'd be worth just a few years later!
Not too long ago, there was this gentleman who lives in Wash State who posted in another forum, and wanted to sell his entire collection of single malt whisky, 750 bottles in all. He wanted to sell the whole lot for $50,000. He might be the same gentleman who sold his 729 bottles but got more than twice his initial asking price. If he is the same guy, I am glad he was able to sell it at a better price.

Fact: Research conducted since fluoride toothpaste became widely used shows fluoridated water continues to protect everyone's teeth from decay.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reviewed this question in January 2011. After looking at all the ways we might get fluoride (including fluoride toothpaste), the CDC recommended communities fluoridate water at 0.7 parts per million. Any less than that puts the health of our teeth at risk.
Toothpaste alone is insufficient, which is why dentists and pediatricians often prescribe fluoride tablets to children living in non-fluoridated areas.
Fluoridation offers an easy, inexpensive preventive strategy that everyone can benefit from by simply turning on their water faucet.

A little truffle salt and it's good enough to pair with wine…I did!
When this simple recipe gets published, I will be on a 10-day trip to Tuscany. Yes, I'll be drinking the Super Tuscans, eating everything that is put in front of me and taking photos to share when I return.
But before I left, there was so much to do, especially since I had just returned from a trip PR. It's times like those when simple suppers fill the bill — and it's a good way to clean out the refrigerator before leaving for the next trip.
You sure do cook with a lot of color and I like it.
