I, Mark, Take You, Mark …
Sure, marriage equality sounds great. But what about the coming flood of same-named couples?
Physical characteristics are an obvious port in the homonymous storm. I know an interracial couple of California Susans who wholeheartedly embrace the simplicity of "Black Susan" and "White Susan." But that's just the sort of outcome—an increased reliance on race-based distinctions and categories—that conservatives must fear from an America that embraces marriage equality. And anyway, even simple descriptions aren't always so simple. Michael Scarna, a New York producer, recently married Michael LaMasa, an actor and dancer. The mother of Michael S. refers to her son-in-law as "Tall Michael"—but "Little Michael" was already taken by his (Michael S.'s, I mean—you're seeing the problem here) best childhood friend, leaving Michael S. without a height-based appellation. Sometimes the only solution is to mix categories. The mother of a friend of ours regularly interrupts him to ask "Ka'i Mark? Pilot Mark ke uncho Mark, chasma sathe?" (Which, of course, is Parsi Gujarati for "Which Mark? Pilot Mark or Tall Mark with the glasses?")
Holidays, and the inter-family gatherings they occasion, pose particular hardships to homonymous couples. No one is going to write "To: Black Susan, From: Santa" on a Christmas present. But maybe they should. Each Christmas morning, Mark and I take turns quizzically holding gifts labeled "Mark" aloft until someone recognizes the wrapping paper and gives a slow nod or shake of the head. It's stories like this—homonymous marriage sowing family discord, good Christian names doubly defiled (around the Christmas tree, no less)—that may justify the anti-equality fervor of social conservatives.
If family gatherings are tough, out-and-proud homonymy causes even more trouble with strangers. At weddings, parties, hotel check-in desks, just having to drop the G-bomb can get wearying; imagine also having to explain identical names. People think we're joking. Or they joke about it themselves, then look briefly stricken over whether that's OK. Or they think they've misheard—"Wait, which of you is Mark?" Then, fearing their misunderstanding reveals homophobia (or worse, an overfamiliarity with Steel Magnolias), they get apologetic. We try to console them—"No! It's fine! It's funny!"—though we don't even know them. It's all weird.
I thought Mark and I had it bad until I spoke with Jon Paul Buchmeyer, a writer and a member of a particularly elite tranche of homonymous couples: those who have the same name in different languages. When people meet Jon Paul and his husband—wait for it—Juan Pablo, they either get it right away (and assume the joke's on them) or suffer a painfully delayed "Hang on … isn't that!? …" response. Jon Paul and Juan Pablo have learned to wait patiently for el otro zapato to drop.
Of course, homonymous relationships have advantages, too. Kathryn Hamm, president of GayWeddings.com, the nuptial website for same-sex ("and same-name!") couples, introduced me to John Mercurio, half of a John2 couple in Washington, D.C. John M. brightly points out that homonymy simplifies as many situations as it complicates. It's easy—and apparently endlessly humorous—for their friends to refer to "the Johns," for example. And Michael and Michael used "The Michaels" on the return address of their wedding invitations.
It's also true that the de-Mark-ations developed by our friends and family can be lovely. The grandmotherly friend who introduced my parents will say to me, "And how is your Mark?" As if I'm hers, and he's mine, and everyone should have one. Kids, too, regularly come up with winners. As a toddler, my goddaughter dubbed us Mark and "another one Mark" (now abbreviated to "'nother-Mark"). Her cousin, after meeting Mark and me at an Anglo-American Thanksgiving in London, asked his parents whether, if he discovered he was gay, he too would have to find a partner with the same name.
Such flickers of sweetness and light make me wonder if there isn't some way to encourage nervous conservatives to embrace all gay couples—not just those with different first names. It's worth pointing out that opposite-sex couples, too, can be homonymous. Ask Paris Hilton and Paris Latsis, or Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner. And given the vogue for gender-ambiguous baby names, there's plenty more homonymy in the pipeline: Think of all the Rileys, Jordans, and Harpers yet to meet.
A more effective tactic might be to remind conservatives that the gay-rights movement is only the outermost ripple of the American experiment's historic, ever-expanding promise of freedom. No one put this quite as well as Arthur Evans, the Stonewall-era activist. Linda Hirshman, in her recent history of the gay rights movement, notes that Evans found particular inspiration in the fathers of the American Revolution and constitution. Said Evans: they "combined the rationality of the Enlightenment with the vigor of a popular uprising … you can't get much more American than that." Arthur's partner at the time was an activist too, and his name—well, let's just say their friends found it easy to remember.

The text of Aimee's post earlier today is below the jump, but you can read the whole thing and see her photos here.
Also our coverage, including the 4 a.m. video following the project from Tent City 4 on Mercer Island to the Highland Park site, is here if you've been too busy following your WaMu stock and haven't kept up with other local news.------
Four days in, Nickelsville is starting to look like the semi-permanent encampment its organizers intended. There are a couple of large tents tents for the food and a booth were residents can check in. Many of the pink pup tents have been put up on pallets to protect them from the soggy ground. Some even have wood structures around them, compete with decorations proclaiming the names of the inhabitants. Late this afternoon, truckloads of construction materials started trickling in and soon a large structure was being built not far from the camp's entrance.
One man played a guitar next to a fire burning in a portable barbecue as curious onlookers showed up to lend a hand, take pictures, or advocate for their causes. Linde Knighton, chair of the Progressive Party proclaimed the 10-year-plan to end homelessness a "joke." And she said that mayor Greg Nickels and the city council (all but Nick Licata) are complicit in the policy failings that have created Nickelsville. The media swarmed. National news magazine Inside Edition made an appearance. The organizers were pleased with the turnout, though some looked warily on at the circus, which as usual was threatening to take on a life of its own.
Craig Corey, who's been involved in the planning since June, was one of the first to settle Nickelsville at 4 a.m. Monday morning. But tonight he's going back to Tent City Four, where he says he's got things to take care of tomorrow. "We've got their attention," he says. "It's been a gas."
"It's so nice to see something you've worked for come together," adds another of the original Nickelodeons who prefers only to go by Beatrice. "I hope something bad doesn't happen tonight." Throughout the camp, there's trepidation about what comes next. The mayor's deadline of 5 p.m. came and went. Most residents believe the city will either show up sometime tonight— or at first light tomorrow to kick them out. However, it's still unclear whether a sliver of the property belongs to the Duwamish, which could hamper Nickels efforts to remove the campers. (A member of the tribe came out to bless the encampment this afternoon.) Eighty-five people slept there last night. By day's end today there were upwards of a couple hundred milling about. No matter what happens in the next 24 hours, the Nickelodeons seem content to savor the scene. Perhaps visibility for the invisible is enough for now.

MN ACLU explains why Duck Dynasty dude's anti-gay comments aren't protected speech
Freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from consequences.
Phil Robertson photo via Facebook
Unless you've been on a vacation to Mars for the past week or so, you've undoubtedly heard about the controversy created by Phil Robertson, star of A&E's hit Duck Dynasty show, thanks to anti-gay comments he made during a recent interview.
SEE ALSO: Amid racism controversy, Target cutting ties with Paula Deen
"Everything is blurred on what's right and what's wrong... Sin becomes fine. Start with homosexual behavior and just morph out from there," Robertson told GQ magazine. "Bestiality, sleeping around with this woman and that woman and that woman and those men."
As news of Robertson's controversial comments circulated, A&E promptly hit him with an indefinite suspension. That, in turn, prompted right-wingers like Sarah Palin, Sean Hannity, and Glenn Beck to claim the TV station somehow violated Robertson's free-speech rights by punishing him for expressing his opinion.
"This is all about freedom, free speech," Palin wrote on her Facebook page. "You know, so many American families have spilled blood and treasure to guarantee Phil Robertson and everybody else's right to voice their personal opinions and once that freedom is lost, everything is lost in our country."
But in a blog post published last Friday, the ACLU of Minnesota's Jana Kooren explains why that's a bunch of bunk:
The Constitution protects you from the government violating your rights. Phil Robertson, of Duck Dynasty, has not been arrested or charged with a crime for his comments about gays (nor should he be), he has been [indefinitely suspended] by a private employer for making these comments.
Phil Robertson has the right to make whatever homophobic or racist comments he wants without fear of going to prison for it, however he does not have the right to have his own TV show, or to say what he wants without negative reactions from his employer or people in the community.
So there you go. Keep that in mind if the topic comes up while you're hanging out with the relatives this holiday season. You might be able to drop some knowledge on 'em.

The Huffington Post is running a campaign on the London Underground that uses Virgin Media's Wi-Fi service to showcase its latest content.
The work, by Gravity Road, is an extension of HuffPost's "conversations start here" proposition.
It uses CBS Outdoor's dynamic video posters, with content feeds integrated into the creative, to highlight the latest user comments from its blogs. This will effectively show the conversations in real time.
Featured HuffPost bloggers include Annie Lennox, Sir Martin Sorrell and Cherie Blair. The campaign will also focus some creative executions on topics that are relevant to the Christmas period, including alcohol consumption, religion and shopping.
HuffPost has also become Virgin Media's advertising partner, with mobile users able to access the latest news and comments from the site.
In addition, HuffPost is launching a free Wi-Fi service in independent coffee shops across London.

My daughter is 7 weeks old, and breastfeeding is going really well. My only complaint is that she is a really slow eater. I read stories about babies who can empty a breast in under 10 minutes, and I wonder if we will ever get there. She usually takes 35-40 minutes to eat. She gets so excited when it's time to eat that she can barely keep the nipple in her mouth. She will pull off multiple times to grin and coo at me when we are starting a feeding session. While I find that cute, it is kind of annoying when we are in a hurry. She doesn't calm down and start sucking rythmically until we are 5 or 10 minutes into it.
She will also take "breaks" and stop sucking. I try to encourage her to suck by stroking her cheek and shoulder, but it doesn't always work.
I don't think milk supply or slow let-down are the problems. I actually have an over supply, and I think the let-down is fine because I can see milk on the corners of her mouth and on my nipple when she pulls off.
Will she ever get faster?

THE reader who has followed the foregoing narrative may feel that inasmuch as it is intended to be an historical document, an appropriate addendum thereto would be a digest of all the inventions of Edison. The desirability of such a digest is not to be denied, but as there are some twenty-five hundred or more inventions to be considered (including those covered by caveats), the task of its preparation would be stupendous. Besides, the resultant data would extend this book into several additional volumes, thereby rendering it of value chiefly to the technical student, but taking it beyond the bounds of biography.
We should, however, deem our presentation of Mr. Edison's work to be imperfectly executed if we neglected to include an intelligible exposition of the broader theoretical principles of his more important inventions. In the following Appendix we have therefore endeavored to present a few brief statements regarding Mr. Edison's principal inventions, classified as to subjectmatter and explained in language as free from technicalities as is possible. No attempt has been made to conform with strictly scientific terminology, but, for the benefit of the general reader, well-understood conventional expressions, such as "flow of current," etc., have been employed. It should be borne in

Members of the Transport Workers Union (TWU) at American have rejected a new contract offer from the airline. Two of the three segments of the union—the largest, its mechanics, along with the stores employees, who handle the aircraft parts inventories—voted in solid majorities to reject the deal. The smallest segment, representing roughly 100 "technical specialists," voted in favor of the deal.
According to The Dallas Morning-News' Terry Maxon, "The results throw the issue of American's labor dispute back to the National Mediation Board (NMB), which must decide whether to keep the two sides talking, put the talks on hold indefinitely or allow the union to go on strike."
So what will happen?
At this point, signs seem to point toward both sides taking another shot at negotiation. It also seems unlikely that the NMB would release the parties from talks so soon. The "no" vote did include authorization for a strike at some point, should a deal remain unresolved. Still, the union seems committed to further discussions, even as its vice president says things like, "[Our members] were not convinced that this agreement represented an adequate return for the hundreds of millions of dollars of sacrifices we agreed to in 2003, to keep American planes in the air and prevent our employer from filing for bankruptcy."
American says it "look[s] forward to re-working the agreements in a balanced way that will achieve ratification."
As for the offer itself, Maxon writes,
The company had offered pay raises of 3 percent this year and 1.5 percent in 2011 and 2012, and lump-sum payments of 6 percent of annual pay to its employees at its maintenance bases.
The deals also increased holiday, vacation and sick leave and made other improvements to benefits.
But the proposed contracts also required concessions from the union.
Among other elements, the deals would put new employees into 401(k) retirement plans rather than into pension plans with defined benefits.
In addition, for employees under 50, American would no longer help pay their health insurance premiums after they retire.
Clearly, there's a long road ahead.

I believed in you
Thought what you said was true
It didn't occur to me, it was a lie
Ha, ha, ha, silly, wasn't I? Oh
I was lost in a world
And like a foolish girl I really thought
You were my guy
Ha, ha, ha, silly, wasn't I? Oh
I remember the time
You called me on the phone
Said you'd had a busy day
You'd hurry home
I waited, I waited
Time went by, I tried to laugh
But all I could do was cry
Silly, silly, wasn't I?
Oh wasn't I silly to think
I'd found the love I was dreamin' of?
I never thought you would say goodbye
Ha, ha, ha, silly, oh
Wasn't I silly
To think that you loved me?
Oh, wasn't I silly?
Ha, ha, ha, silly
Wasn't I silly
To think that you loved me?
Oh, wasn't I silly?
Ha, ha, ha, silly
Wasn't I silly
To think that you loved me?
Oh, wasn't I silly?
Ha, ha, ha, silly

After riding the success of past viral hits "I'm F-ing Matt Damon" and its sequel, "I'm F-ing Ben Afflect", Jimmy Kimmel unveiled his new video on Friday. In "The Handsome Men's Club", Jimmy presides over a panel of A-list actors known for their easiness on the eyes. To name the full roster would ruin the fun of it, so go ahead and see for yourself. Somebody's bound to send it to you at some point today, regardless.

It's not uncommon for viewers of any given Academy Awards ceremony to ask themselves, "What the hell was that all about?" Everything from misguided fashion choices to befuddling speeches goes under our own personal WFT-o-scope.
Last night's ceremony provided countless moments from which to hang our sarcastic hats on, but none hit the mark for me like the John Hughes tribute.
John Hughes' sudden death last year shook many of us of a certain age to our former teenage core. While generations who followed also found a kinship in the marginal rebellion and pimply angst of Hughes' colossal run of '80s comedies, those of us who lived it tried to convince ourselves and others on Facebook and Twitter that the films were somehow a reflection of our own lives. And maybe in some small way that's exactly what they were.
It made sense to feature a tribute to Hughes at last night's Oscars, and the montage which opened the proceedings did a fine job of condensing some of our favorite moments from some of our favorite films, some of which may even have stood the test of time.
But then it all crashed to a terrifying halt. Out stepped a rogues' gallery of actors from some of Hughes' most successful films. Only two - Matthew Broderick and John Cryer - looked comfortable at all, the former having spent much of his career on the stage, and the latter still reveling in his career resurgence as a television sitcom actor. But the rest of them, that was something altogether less endearing.
We all knew Anthony Michael Hall was no longer the skinny kid from those early flicks, the transformation having begun when he was struck with Martin Lawrenceitis (an actor who made his name on playing a lovable doofus, then decided it was time to be the cool guy with less convincing results) right around the time of Johnny Be Good.
There was Macaulay Culkin, who'd spent his entire adult life trying to escape having been that irritating kid in the first two Home Alone movies acting like Mick Jagger on the Ed Sullivan Show when they made him switch the then-provocative lyrics to "Let's Spend the Night Together".
Molly Ringwald's choice to wear a Pete Burns costume was an odd one, but compared to Judd Nelson's sweaty, twitchy delivery and futuristic zoot suit outfit, it was pretty tame stuff. Ally Sheedy came off okay by comparison, but she was pursing her lips so tight, I thought my television was going to crack.
With 4/5 of the cast of The Breakfast Club making the scene, it was also hard to wonder why Emilio Estevez took a pass. Was he even asked? Did he realize it would turn into an ugly debacle? Furthermore, would it have been more of a tribute to speak to some of these actors on film instead of parading them out on stage and making the current crop of young go-getters in the audience like Tyler Lautner and Kristen Stewart wonder what their own lives might one day become (that moment comes at 3:50 in the attached YouTube video)?
Hughes deserved a tribute, and he got at least half of one worthy of his role in American cinema. If you weren't a fan, perhaps you feel the latter half told the story better than the montage. But if you loved Hughes' films, you'll have to work hard to forget the second half before ever trying to watch one again.
Upright Citizen Brigade creators, Matt Walsh and Ian Roberts have returned to television with a new show called Players on Spike TV. The show's concept is that Matt and Ian are brothers that have opened a sports bar in Phoenix, a framework in which the improved chaos and hilarity will ensue. Personally I have a deep hatred for sports, so I'm a little worried about the subject matter. I'm a little put at ease by the fact that I'm a huge fan of Walsh and Roberts work, especially their work in UCB. I also quite enjoyed Sports Night, Aaron Sorkin's first show, which was based around an ESPN-like sports show, so I know it can be done. The show premiered last Tuesday, and it airs every Tuesday at 9:30 pm central on Spike TV. Check out the official trailer and a hilarious faux press piece that they shot to promote the show.
Indie it-band headlined Saturday Night Live this past weekend…
Being a child of the '80s, when the first live action Transformers film came out, a tear came to my eye for the pure joy. After watching the second live action Transformers film, I teared up yet again, this time in disgust. So, when I heard that they were coming out with a new transformers game that is not based on the films, I was hit with a mixture of excitement and dread. The game and film studios tried to cash in on both recent movies with video game offshoots, which were both released to bad to mixed reviews. The new game does not take place on our planet, instead it takes place back on the Transformers own soil… or silicon, back on their home planet of Cybertron. The trailer below is the first to feature real game play footage and it looks promising.

An Interview with the IEA's Neil Atkinson

Biogen Idec
) and
Elan Corporation, plc
) recently announced that the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
has approved a label change for Tysabri. As per the updated label,
anti-JC virus antibody status is a risk factor for developing
progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (
), a rare and life threatening brain infection. This step will
enable doctors to assess the patients' risk benefit matrix
Tysabri is approved in the US for relapsing forms of multiple
sclerosis ("MS") in patients who show inadequate response to or are
unable to tolerate other treatments. In the EU, Tysabri is approved
for highly active relapsing-remitting MS ("RRMS") in adult patients
who have severe RRMS or have failed with beta interferon
In the EU, Tysabri was approved in 2006, while in the US,
Tysabri was initially approved in 2004. The product was withdrawn
from US markets in 2005 due to the PML concern. The drug was
reintroduced by Biogen and Elan after a year with a strict warning
regarding the occurrence of PML.
So far, three factors have been identified which increase the
risk of PML in MS patients taking Tysabri. Presence of anti-JC
virus antibody, prior treatment with immunosuppressants and
treatment duration with Tysabri are the three factors influencing
the risk of PML
Last year, the European Commission ("EC") had approved an update
to Tysabri's label in the EU. The updated label includes anti-JC
virus antibody status as an additional factor that could help
stratify the risk of PML occurring in patients treated with
Tysabri. Apart from approving the label update, the EC also renewed
the five-year Marketing Authorization for Tysabri in the EU.
We are pleased with the Tysabri label update in the US. We
believe product sales will increase as doctors grow more confident
about the drug and its risk.
Biogen and Elan have an agreement for the development and
commercialization of Tysabri. Under the terms of the agreement,
Elan markets the drug in the US and books the entire sales as its
Outside the US, Biogen is responsible for distribution, and Elan
records as revenue its share of the profit or loss on these sales
of Tysabri. This collaboration agreement provides Elan with the
option to buy the rights of Tysabri if Biogen changes hands.
Our Recommendation
We currently have a Neutral recommendation on Biogen, which
carries a Zacks #2 Rank (short-term Buy rating). Key products
Avonex and Tysabri should continue contributing significantly to
sales. BG-12 should help drive long-term growth. Meanwhile,
Biogen's restructuring initiative should help drive the bottom
line. We are also pleased with Biogen's intention to streamline its
pipeline. However, we are concerned about the increasing
competition in the MS market in the form of
' (
) Gilenya which is competing directly with Avonex and Tysabri. The
MS market could become more competitive with the entry of oral
treatments being developed by other companies.

Selena Gomez
Selena Gomez in American Apparel Shorts
Selena Gomez was snapped while leaving lunch in LA. She then headed to the East Coast to film a concert for the 4th of July and perform a free concert in Boston.
Selena has been spotted quite frequently in shorts lately. Most recently, she wore a pair of American Apparel high rise shorts in medium stone wash indigo with a flowy top and nude heels. I think Selena's looks have gotten more mature lately, as it seems like we've seen her wearing a lot more heels and blouses. You can buy these shorts from American Apparel for $58.
Selena Gomez in Levi's Denim Shorts
Selena Gomez and a friend were snapped while spending some time on the beaches of Malibu. She did not look happy to have her photograph taken though.
Selena wore a pair of cut off Levi's shorts with a flowy white top and sandals. These shorts remind me a lot of One Teaspoon shorts with the shredding on the front and how long the fray is at the hem, but I bet Selena's are vintage.
Selena Gomez in Hudson Collin Skinny jeans in Stella
Selena Gomez and her Wizards of Waverly Place co-star, David Henrie, stopped to take photos and pose with fans on their way to lunch.
Selena wore her Hudson Collin skinny jeans in Stella with a simple tee shirt and sandals. She tends to favor really low key styles for her casual looks. She definitely is a jeans and a tee shirt girl, but always looks put together. You can see how else Selena has worn Hudson before here. You can buy these jeans from Hudson Jeans for $182.
Selena Gomez in Denim Overalls
Shielding her eyes from the paparazzi, Selena Gomez made her way into a local gym. She wore a pair of denim overalls with a lace bra and a scarf.
Selena's style has definitely gotten more mature as of late, but I am not entirely sure what I think of this outfit. I am not the biggest fan of the overall trend, but I think that this outfit would've looked better if she had at least worn a shirt! What do you think of Selena's outfit?

Intellectual Property:
Insights Gained from Efforts to Quantify the Effects of Counterfeit and Pirated Goods in the U.S. Economy
GAO-13-762T: Published: Jul 9, 2013. Publicly Released: Jul 9, 2013.

What GAO Found
In April 2010, GAO reported that intellectual property (IP) is an important component of the U.S. economy and IP-related industries contribute a significant percentage to the U.S. gross domestic product. IP-related industries also pay significantly higher wages than other industries and contribute to a higher standard of living in the United States. Ensuring the protection of IP rights encourages the introduction of innovative products and creative works to the public. According to experts and literature GAO reviewed, counterfeiting and piracy have produced a wide range of effects on consumers, industry, government, and the economy as a whole. The U.S. economy as a whole may grow more slowly because of reduced innovation and loss of trade revenue. To the extent that counterfeiting and piracy reduce investments in research and development, companies may hire fewer workers and may contribute less to U.S. economic growth, overall. Furthermore, as GAO reported in June 2012, private sector organizations have experienced data loss or theft, economic loss, computer intrusions, and privacy breaches. For example, in February 2011, media reports stated that computer hackers had broken into and stolen proprietary information worth millions of dollars from the networks of six U.S. and European energy companies.
Generally, as GAO reported in April 2010, the illicit nature of counterfeiting and piracy makes estimating the economic impact of IP infringements extremely difficult. Nonetheless, research in specific industries suggests that the problem is sizeable, which is of particular concern as many U.S. industries are leaders in the creation of intellectual property. Because of the difficulty in estimating the economic impact of IP infringements, assumptions must be used to offset the lack of data. Efforts to estimate losses involve assumptions such as the rate at which consumers would substitute counterfeit for legitimate products, which can have enormous impacts on the resulting estimates. Because of the significant differences in types of counterfeited and pirated goods and industries involved, no single method can be used to develop estimates. Each method has limitations, and most experts observed that it is difficult, if not impossible, to quantify the economy-wide impacts.
Why GAO Did This Study
The United States is an acknowledged global leader in the creation of intellectual property. According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, IP theft is a growing threat which is heightened by the rise of the use of digital technologies. IP is any innovation, commercial or artistic, or any unique name, symbol, logo, or design used commercially. IP rights protect the economic interests of the creators of these works by giving them property rights over their creations. Cyber attacks are one way that threat actors--whether nations, companies, or criminals--can target IP and other sensitive information of federal agencies and American businesses. While bringing significant benefits, increasing computer interconnectivity can create vulnerabilities to cyber-based threats. GAO was asked to testify on efforts to estimate the economic impacts of theft of intellectual property. Accordingly, this statement discusses (1) the economic significance of intellectual property protection and theft on the U.S. economy and (2) insights from efforts to quantify the economic impacts of counterfeiting and piracy on the U.S. economy. This statement is based on products GAO issued from April 2010 through June 2012 on the economic impacts of theft of intellectual property and on cyber threats and economic espionage.
What GAO Recommends
GAO is not making any new recommendations in this statement.

2015 CRF 450R. I have the oversized Pro Taper bar mounts for my oversized Pro Taper bars. They're the black ones sold by RM. I got the Tusk Oversized Big Bar Clamp Kit to raise them 3/4" as I'm 6'2" and feeling crouched when racing. When I attempted to install them, the Pro Taper holes did not line up to accept the Tusk through bolts. Bolt length and pitch was compatible. I sized it up to my 2007 CRF 450x with stock bar mounts, and holes lined up perfect. Nothing wrong with the product but felt it could use a comment stating these two parts are not compatible. I also would have preferred the Tusk kit come with 10mm hex head top bolts vs. the allen just to make quick adjustments with T handle wrenches between the motos. Those allen keys are always on the loose!Read All Reviews
rodrigo in CHI
very high quality productRead All Reviews
Jamen in UT
At first I was hesitant to buy these, I thought it would add vibration and more than likely cause more expensive fixes like bent handlebars or twisted triple clamps. BUT, I was willing to try them considering my KX450 handlebars were crooked every time I went to ride it again after a TINY tip over. THESE ARE HANDS DOWN THE BEST INVESTMENT I HAVE PUT ON MY BIKES. No added vibration. I have watched my bike flip end over end multiple times and come to find my bars and everything as straight as ever. They really perform when it comes to racing and long trail rides, nobody likes fixing crooked bar mounts. SERIOUSLY, Amazing product.Read All Reviews

I have had a devastating year. In June we learned via the first look (NT scan) and a follow-up CVS that our baby had Down's. I had had pneumonia and 3 weeks of bleeding prior to this, so I think I was as ready as anyone can be to get devastating news like that. A week later I had a D &E.
We had a CVS on Wednesday, as advised by our doctor, to ensure this baby didn't have Down's. I would've been 13 weeks tomorrow. We went in for a follow-up this afternoon, and they baby has no heartbeat. I feel like it's my fault for doing the stupid test, and I just can't even think straight at this point.
My question is, I don't know if I should have another D &E (or C) or just wait for the M/C to happen naturally. I don't want to go through the procedure again, but I've heard horror stories about natural miscarriages at this stage...that you can have a lot of pain, lots of bleeding, and I know this is stupid, but I don't know if I can deal with knowing that I'm passing the fetus.
I don't know if there's a real question in there, or more just rambling. I'm still pretty stunned.

The 23-year-old has signed a five-year contract with the Bavarian side after the German champions were finally able to resolve legal and tax issuesBayern Munich has confirmed the signing of Athletic Bilbao midfielder Javi Martinez on a five-year- contract after meeting his 40 million euro buy-out clause.
The 23-year-old has been courted by a host of clubs, including the Bavarians and Manchester City throughout the summer, but the Basque club was adamant that it was not going to let the player leave for less than his release fee.
Bayern itself was initially hesitant to meet that price, but after confirming that it would be willing to do so a fortnight ago, it has finally got its man.
"Of course this is a large sum of money," club director Karl-Heinz Rummenigge told FCB News. "But the player is indirectly participating in it by giving up a large sum of money.
"It was very complicated. We are very happy that Javi Martinez is finally with us. In recent days, we still needed to resolve tax and legal problems. Fortunately for us, we've succeeded."
For his part, the Spain international has spoken of his delight at finally securing a move to the club after such a potracted saga.
"I am very happy and I'm looking forward to playing for a club with such a history," he told FCB.tv. "I've had a very long wait, but finally thei weight is over."
The midfielder, who can also play at the heart of defense, has signed a contract that expires in June 2017. He has spent six years at San Mames after moving to the club from Osasuna.

An Old Time Fiddling Tradition Lives on in the Musquodoboit Valley!
Musquodoboit Valley Bicentennial Theatre is home to the Annual Kirk Logan Old Time Fiddling Contest. Each year, on the last Saturday of September, our historic old theatre in Middle Musquodoboit comes alive with fiddle music.
The Kirk Logan Old Time Fiddling Contest was named for Kirk Logan (1921-1997), champion fiddler who represented the Musquodoboit Valley at Old Time Fiddling Contests throughout Eastern Canada for over fifty years.
Born in Upper Musquodoboit on Aug. 16, 1921, and taught by his grandfather, Albert Logan, Kirk learned to play the fiddle at the age of 13. He played for his first dance in 1937 at the I.O.O.F. Hall in Middle Musquodoboit and this began a career of fiddling for dances that extended across six decades.
He played in his first fiddling contest in Dartmouth, in 1945. His home was in Centre Musquodoboit, but he would alway register himself as "Kirk Logan - Musquodoboit". He was a regular fiddler for several years during and after the War at Lloyd Creelman's dances at the South Branch Dance Hall, at Keir Murphy's Dance Hall in Moose River, and in Elderbank at the Innis & Keddy Recreation Hall. Kirk played with Elmer MacKinnon and "The Acadians" in the Truro area throughout the 1970s and '80s. In the 1980s and '90s he played regularly for dances at the Fellowship Hall in Upper Musquodoboit.
Kirk Logan was a three-time champion in the over-60 class at the Maritime Old-Time Fiddling Contest in Dartmouth, a four-time winner in the same class at the New Brunswick Fiddling Contest in Sackville, N.B., and a winner twice in the over 60 class at the Down East Old Time Fiddling Contest in Lower Sackville, N.S.
Kirk took up teaching the fiddle when he was in his '70s, and in the last years of his life did much to pass on the tradition he had inherited to a new generation of musicians who have taken their own place on stage at the Bicentennial Theatre in recent years.
In 1996 Kirk Logan volunteered to assist the Board of Directors for the Bicentennial Theatre to organize their own Ol' Time Fiddling Contest. At that first contest it was announced that the contest henceforth would be named "The Kirk Logan Old Time Fiddling Contest."
Before his death, on July 13, 1997, Kirk released his only recording. Grandfather's Grandson: The Old-Time Fiddle of Musquodoboit's Kirk Logan, released in 1996, featured some of his original compositions, including "Rainy Reel" and the "Ox Bow Reel", demonstrating his mastery of the instrument.

I wanted to give something small to the people coming out here for DS's bday next month.
I'm on a budget, so I've sound some stuff I could make myself.
Most of the guests will be in my DH and mine age range (mid 20s to mid 30s), and then 3 sets of older (50+ for 2 sets, 70+ for one), and a handful of kids (ranging from mid teens to 1 year old)
For the women I'm trying to decide between a braided bracelet (
http://www.howjoyful.com/2011/07/joyful-braided-bracelet-tutorial/ ) or a sunglasses case (
http://www.createcraftlove.com/2012/05/stitched-sunglasses-case.html )
No idea on the teens or men.
The 1 year old will get a little tie ( http://veryhomemade.blogspot.com/2010/02/okay-so-heres-tutorial-on-how-to-make.html )
and the five year olds will get a little hair rose ( http://www.makeit-loveit.com/2012/07/shirred-fabric-flowers-made-from-knit-fabric-scraps.html )
For the women, what would you prefer if you had a choice?
And anyone know what I could do for teens/the men?
Thanks for helping!

Seniors in assisted living overwhelmingly feel safe in, and satisfied with, the communities in which they live, according to a new poll. The nationwide survey of seniors currently living in assisted living communities found that fully 93% feel satisfied with their community, including 68% who say they are "very satisfied." The survey also found residents almost unanimously feel safe in their communities, with 99% of respondents reporting they feel safe.
"Every morning, close to a million American seniors wake up in their assisted living community, have an active and engaging day in a safe, independent and social environment, and go to sleep that night eager to greet a new day"
"Every morning, close to a million American seniors wake up in their assisted living community, have an active and engaging day in a safe, independent and social environment, and go to sleep that night eager to greet a new day," said Rick Grimes, President of the Argentum. "That fact may not make for a sensational headline, but it's the reality of assisted living."
The survey of 500 seniors living in assisted living communities found widespread satisfaction for almost every aspect of life in their communities.
By an 8-1 margin, assisted living residents agree with the following statement: "Assisted living communities are an excellent choice for seniors who want to live active, independent lives, but may just need a little help now and then. Assisted living communities have a professional and caring staff that provides a safe 'home away from home' for residents. There are ample rules and regulations in place to ensure residents remain safe and are well taken are of. Residents living in assisted living communities enjoy a healthy and high quality of life."
"What matters most to us is what our residents think, so we went out and asked them," continued Grimes. "And what we found confirmed what we already knew: Assisted living is absolutely the best, safest and most satisfying senior living option for seniors who cherish their independence but just need some extra help. The true story of assisted living won't be found in sensational news reports. It's found in the everyday stories of our residents, and the safe, happy and active lives they lead every single day."
The survey of 500 residents living in assisted living communities was taken between July 15-18, 2013 and has a margin of error of +/- 4.38% The survey was conducted jointly by Public Opinion Strategies and Frederick Polls.

The only source of income for the family is their agricultural activities. They sell sheep locally and currently have a flock of 35. They also grow potatoes and maize on a plot of land they own, selling them locally at a good price.
Rapik requested a loan from Credo to start a family business that entails purchasing calves to raise and eventually sell. This will improve both the income and living conditions of the family His loan request was approved in the frames of a new joint initiative of Kiva and Credo. The Start-up loan program envisages provision of business startup and re-startup credits with soft conditions to the country's rural poor, who do not have access to credit products, being regarded as "high risk borrowers" because of low income.
Additional Information
More information about this loan
This loan is part of Credo's startup loan program targeting particularly vulnerable clients who live at the subsistence level and have been unable to obtain credit due to lack of income from an existing business. This program offers them a longer repayment term and an annual interest rate that is 5% lower than the standard interest rate. By funding this loan, you are supporting a program that gives borrowers a second chance to start and grow small businesses. This has the potential to alleviate the effects of poverty, significantly improving borrowers' incomes and their families' quality of life.

Formula One
Bahrain just hosted the latest Formula One Grand Prix, and according to the organizers, funding for the sport has not been affected by the current financial crisis.
April 27, 2009 4:38 by Aarti Nagraj
Abu Dhabi
Late last month, thousands gathered across the UAE to buy tickets for the inaugural Abu Dhabi Grand Prix to be held in November. According to organizers, two grandstands, having around 20,000 seats, were sold out within hours after going on sale.
In February 2007, Ecclestone signed a contract with Abu Dhabi racetrack to host a Formula One Grand Prix from 2009 for a period of seven years. Currently, work is still going on at the Yas Marina Circuit, which is going to be the venue for the final race of the 2009 Formula 1 season. A Ferrari theme park is also being built close to the Abu Dhabi F1 track, which will have hotels, malls, residential apartments and bungalows, to accommodate F1 fans during the race.
Ferrari F1 driver Felipe Massa visited the circuit last week and said "It's the most incredible circuit. Abu Dhabi will definitely become regarded as one of the best in Formula 1. I am also really looking forward to coming back here in November. It's a fantastic place with great facilities here for the drivers."

For readers of Peter Menzel and Faith D'Aluisio's Hungry Planet: What The World Eats, there aren't any surprises in the Burke Museum's new exhibit of the same name, featuring large-scale images from the popular book documenting dietary practices around the globe. Here are the Melanders of northern Germany, posed with piles of rosy red cold cuts and dark beer; the Ukitas of Japan, kneeling around an array of handsomely-labeled boxes, bottles and foil packages and the Casaleses of Cuernavaca, sharing their kitchen with stacks of tortillas and bushels of fruit.
The husband-and-wife team of Menzel and D'Alusio, a photographer and travel writer, traveled to 24 countries to document families surrounded by what they consumed over the course of the week. The pair has since reapplied its approach to individuals, recently issuing What I Eat: Around the World in 80 Diets, but the family portraits from the 2005 book are the ones edging toward iconic status.
Relentless press coverage has sapped the images of novelty, but they remain provocative - especially when printed in an oversized format. Exhibition dimensions allow for unprecedented dissection of detail and conversation. Many schoolchildren will no doubt tromp through this gallery before the exhibit closes in June, tasked with finding recognizable foods in a portrait from Mali, but the images raise more interesting questions than "Where's the Coke?"
The knee-jerk conclusion to draw from the portraits is that Americans are wildly irresponsible eaters: The boys in the Revis family of Raleigh, N.C. are depicted with pizzas on their laps. "For the Revises, this family portrait became a catalyst for change," the label intones. Granted, most nutritionists would probably recommend the Revises ditch the Pop-Tarts and Ruffles ranch dip. But what struck me about the Revises was the tremendous diversity of their diet, unmatched by any other featured family.
There is evidence of culinary borrowing throughout the exhibit: In addition to the omnipresent Coke, other processed sugars and starches from the U.S. have infiltrated pantries worldwide: A Greenland family likes Pringles. The Revises, though, haven't just swiped snacks. In a single week, the family eats sushi; ramen noodles; lavash; pizza; bean burritos and shrimp fried rice. That kind of culinary cosmopolitanism would have been unthinkable in an inland southern household a century ago.
Diversity is the recurrent theme of a small, adjunct exhibit about traditional Pacific Northwest foodways, organized by the Burke. Built around artifacts including clam baskets and herring rakes, the exhibit tells the story of how development devastated Native diets. In 1920, "within sight of (downtown Seattle), there were Native people starving to death," according to the exhibit text. But before white settlers polluted the air and straightened waterways, local tribes ate 280 different animals and plants: An exhibit panel lists them all.

Since his hiring, Tampa Bay coach Lovie Smith has been very good about naming tentative starters.
But he hit an exception last week at the NFL owners meetings when he was asked to name his starter at right guard.
"I can't give you a good answer for that,'' Smith said.
The reason is simple. The Bucs don't have a clear-cut starter at right guard. Assuming Carl Nicks is healthy – and the Bucs are optimistic about that -- he's the starter on the left side. But the right side remains a question mark.
Jamon Meredith and Oniel Cousins would be the most likely candidates on the current roster. Both have been part-time starters in the past.
"I'll just say everybody will get an opportunity,'' Smith said. "We have some options at the position and we'll just kind of let it all play out. The offensive line, even though there's been a lot of subtraction, I like the additions that we've added and George Warhop is an excellent offensive line coach and we'll get a good group together.''
The Bucs seem set at the other offensive line positions with Anthony Collins at left tackle, Demar Dotson at right tackle and Evan Dietrich-Smith at center. But right guard still needs to be sorted out.
Maybe Meredith wins the position. Or maybe Cousins does. Or maybe the starter will come from what remains in free agency or the college draft.

The Canadian film industry has a lot to be proud of: for the first time ever, three Canadian films will be competing for the 2014 Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.
David Cronenberg's "Maps to the Stars," Atom Egoyan's "The Captive," and Xavier Dolan's "Mommy" have all been included in the official lineup for this year's festival.
"This year's Cannes festival is truly a monumental occasion for Canadian filmmakers," said Carolle Brabant, Executive Director of Telefilm Canada. "This is the strongest presence we've ever had, and a true testament to the exceptional vision and tremendous artistry of our country's filmmakers. Canadians should feel very proud."
And that's not all! Canadian leading man Ryan Gosling's directorial debut, "How to Catch a Monster," starring Christina Hendricks and Eva Mendes, will premiere in the Un Certain Regard side category.
Gallery | Best Of Canadian Movies 2013
- "Stories We Tell"
Released at 2012's TIFF and re-screened to raving critics at Sundance in 2013, Sarah Polley's very personal documentary "Stories We Tell" is getting some preliminary Oscar buzz. Dissecting her own family for the big screen is a big deal, but the fact that Polley pulled it off in such an outstanding way is the more remarkable thing.
- "Enemy"
Also not being released until early 2014, "Enemy" stars Jake Gyllenhaal in a leading double role, and is directed by Canadian moviemaker Denis Villeneuve. Jarring and cryptic, in no other movie will you see a gigantic spider slowly walking over Toronto's skyline.
- "McCanick"
It's always sad to see an actor with a drug problem play someone with a drug problem so well. In Cory Monteith's last movie, "McCanick," he does just that. Honourable mention goes to the leading man in the film — David Morse — who nails his role as a brutally aggressive cop.
- "The F Word"
No, no, no. It's not that F word. F in this case stands for "friend." Brought to you by the same man who gave us hockey-fight masterpiece "Goon" (Michael Dowse), "The F Word" explores what it's like to be attracted to someone who's already in a relationship.
- "The Art of the Steal"
Originally titled "The Black Marks" when it started filming in and around Toronto, "The Art of the Steal" features some raw Canadian talent (Jay Baruchel) and some classic tough-guy attitude (Kurt Russell). Most notable about this TIFF movie: Canada plays Canada. Can't get enough of that.
- "Tom à la Ferme" ("Tom at the Farm")
As unsettling and disturbing as movies go, Xavier Dolan's latest outing is not for the weak. Unable to deal with his boyfriend's death, Tom (played by Dolan) heads to his deceased lover's country home, where everything goes awry.
- "Mama"
"Mama" is a Spanish/Canadian co-production, and was executive-produced by none other than horror/fantasy mastermind Guillermo del Toro. Creepy and full of crazy special effects, "Mama" adds some clout to the Canadian horror canon.
- "Devil's Knot"
Even though this technically isn't being released until 2014, "Devil's Knot" premiered at TIFF 2013. Starring Hollywood juggernauts Reese Witherspoon and Colin Firth, the movie is directed by Canadian favourite Atom Egoyan, who takes his own look at the disturbing case of three murdered boys in Arkansas.
- "Empire of Dirt"
Underserviced in almost every respect, the aboriginal population of Canada hardly ever sees itself represented on the big screen. "Empire of Dirt" looks at three different generations of First Nations women who struggle to deal with their past(s) and life choices.
- "Watermark"
Of all the countries in the world, Canada possesses the majority of fresh water, so it's only apt that one of our finest filmmakers put it to screen. Introspective director Jennifer Baichwal has created "Watermark," a documentary which examines our historical and current usage of water — of course interspersed with jaw-dropping imagery throughout the movie.
- "Still Mine"
Regular love stories can break your heart, but love stories featuring older folks can devastate you. Starring Canadian Screen Award winner James Cromwell (he won for this film!) and Golden Globe winner Geneviève Bujold, "Still Mine" will tug at your heartstrings long after the movie is over.
- "The Defector: Escape From North Korea"
Director and centrepiece for the documentary, Ann Shin, is an inspiration. Not only does she draw critical attention to a very urgent issue (the defection of North Koreans), she actually gets as close as she can to the actual defection route — which is way more complicated as you can imagine. Watching this doc makes you feel instantly better about your circumstances in life, and makes you fret for the millions of lives on hold (and in danger) in Korea.
- "The Grand Seduction"
Anyone who's been to the Maritimes understands the allure of the east coast. Even lifelong city-dwellers find it hard to resist the seduction. Canadian director Don McKellar has put this feeling onto film, casting Canuck hottie Taylor Kitsch and acting legend Gorden Pinsent.

Attorney General Roy Cooper says he'll push for legislation to require a child to get parental permission before using a social networking site like MySpace.
MySpace and other Internet commerce groups fought a bill backed by Cooper that also would have required the sites to enact procedures for verifying the parents' identity and age who provided that permission.
