On 23rd June 2016, a vote is being held on whether the UK should leave from, or remain in, the EU (European Union).
We've boiled things down to the key advance facts: who can vote, how to make sure you're registered and what to do if you can't vote in person.
A bit of background first. A referendum is a vote that is taken on a question. In this case, the question is: Should the United Kingdom remain a member of the European Union or leave the European Union? Whichever side gets more than half of all votes cast is considered to have won.
The UK is currently one of 28 nations that form the EU (European Union). This is an economic and political partnership, which is intended to allow goods and people to move across states as if they were one country (known as the 'single market'). It has its own currency, the euro, which is used by 19 of the member countries. It also has its own parliament and it now sets rules in a wide range of areas. Click here to read a basic guide to the EU.
Britain's Prime Minister, David Cameron, promised to hold one before the end of 2017, if he won the 2015 general election. This was in response to calls from the Conservative Party and the UK Independence Party (UKIP). They argued that Britain had not had an option on membership since 1975, when it voted to stay in the EU in a referendum, and several changes had happened since.
Everyone who matches the the following criteria can vote:
Click here for a full list of the Commonwealth member states.
To vote in England, Scotland or Wales, you can register to vote online at gov.uk/register-to-vote.
In Northern Ireland, you'll need to download a Northern Ireland registration form to ensure you can vote.
To vote from overseas, you can apply for a postal vote or to place a proxy vote - read on for more information.
The deadline for registering to vote is 7th June.
Anyone who was registered to vote for the elections that took place across the UK on 5th May (including the Mayoral Election) will be registered for the EU Referendum. You do not need to re-register.
If your circumstances change - for example, you move home between now and the registration deadline - you'll need to re-register using the address of your new property. Make sure you do that before 7th June at gov.uk/register-to-vote.
If you're not sure if you are already registered, you'll need to check by contacting the electoral registration office that represents your area. If you receive a polling card in the post, that means you're already registered.
To find the contact details for your local electoral registration office, enter your postcode at aboutmyvote.co.uk/uk-voters.
If you can't vote in person, you can choose to vote by post or by proxy (someone else places your vote for you).
By post
By proxy
We'll be posting more information about voting, including what to expect at the polling booth, in the run-up to the polling day (23rd June).
Seven years ago, LSE announced a competition to decide who would design the new student centre. Five companies were shortlisted and Irish architects O'Donnell and Tuomey eventually won. They went on to create the Saw Swee Hock Student Centre we see before us today, named after a generous benefactor.
Here are 7 things you may not have known about the building we love!
O'Donnell and Tuomey wanted to create a building with a similar feel to the buzzing Houghton Street. They dedicated the 'totem pole' through the centre as a poster space, to enable students to communicate.
Professor Saw received his PhD from LSE in 1963 and kindly donated £2 million towards the construction of the centre to celebrate the 50th anniversary of his graduation. It cost £24 million to build in total.
The hospital was originally used as a hospital for war refugees, before becoming a treatment centre for women who had suffered from 'occasional lapses into immorality' and contracted an STI!
This includes a number of 'special bricks' which were cast at angles, which can be seen at the front of the building. The perforated bricks create a sense of privacy (especially important for the gym and faith centre) while still allowing a view across campus and Lincoln's Inn Fields. It also features two concrete spiral staircases, nicknamed the 'baby elephant' and the 'fat elephant' by the architects.
The building has a very high BREEAM (Building Research Establishment's Environmental Assessment Method) rating of 'Excellence', due to being carbon neutral, self-regulating temperature-wise and the fact that 90% of the waste generated by its construction was diverted from landfill.
The Saw Swee Hock Student Centre was named London Building of the Year in 2014 by the Royal Institute of British Architects, beating the Shard and was recently announced as a National award winner, too. LSE was named AJ100 Client of the Year in 2014 because of it.
It also won the 2012 New London Award (NLA) in the Education category for building design, and was shortlisted for the New London Awards 2014 (Civic Building Category), the Constructing Excellence Awards 2014 (Client of the Year) and the Building Construction Industry Awards (BCIA Building Project of the Year £10-£50m).
The Saw Swee Hock Student Centre isn't the first building that O'Donnell and Tuomey have designed in London - they're also behind the Photographers' Gallery in Soho.

"Peterborough, Medehamstede and the Big Cathedral" Top 5 Page for this destination Peterborough by Airpunk
Peterborough Travel Guide: 105 reviews and 198 photos
Peterborough has not the reputation of being an attractive city. Parts of it originate in the city development plans of the city council to make a new town of it. That means to create living areas in order to solve housing problems in larger cities. Results of it can be seen in places like Harlow and Milton Keynes. And indeed, Peterborough is not the most beautiful among the Cathedral cities. However, it is not that scary. Despite the shopping malls, Peterborough's centre has retained some of its old character. And its cathedral is among the most beautiful in the country – something Harlow and Milton Keynes don't have at all. If you like to see the cathedral, Peterborough makes a good daytrip destination from Cambridge or any other of the nearby cities. And if you don't, there are still the multitude of shopping malls.
The cathedral is the landmark and the main attraction of the city and for many centuries, it was the city's main employer. However, it is far older than the cathedral. Settlements have been here already in the bronze age, traces of a Roman town have been found and during Anglo-Saxon times it was known as Medehamstede. It was in this time when an abbey was mentioned for the first time which would become later the Cathedral.
Peterborough remained a rather small city until the construction of the railway lines in the mid-19th century. It was located on the crossing of two main railway lines: One leading from the industrial north in Yorkshire to London, the other one was leading from Birmingham via Ely to Norwich. This position attracted industries, with brick making becoming a major economical factor. Peterborough managed to attract service-sector companies in the second half of the twentieth century, widely escaping the demise of cities in the industrial north. The low unemployment rates attracted high numbers of Eastern Europeans when the barriers fell in the early 2000s. Thus, Peterborough has one of the largest Polish communities in Britain. Unfortunately, low unemployment rates do not always mean that crime rates are low too. All in all, Peterborough has a bad reputation and is often associated with drug criminality. And being the place where the world's oldest vomit was found in 2002 does not make the thing necessarily better. In fact, it even made it onto the 18th place (of 50) in "Idler's book of Crap Towns", although it doesn't seem that the vomit played any role in the evaluation.
- Pros:The magnificent Cathedral
- Cons:Little else to see and do
- In a nutshell:Better than its reputation

Lovely little page about Peterborough here. The Guild Hall looks indeed interesting.
I've enjoyed your page, especially the tip on the Catherine of Aragon festival, sounds something worth seeing. Peterborough's only similarities to Peterborough in south Australia, is the railway!~
Most of our towns are named after British & Irish cities, sometimes the countryside is similar, probably to stop home-sickness.
I did know about the names, but I didn't expect the countryside. In my imagination Australia is always hot and dry. I remember that I asked my Aussie friend (of Irish origin, of course...) how they call the big bushfires. He said: "Summer".

Monetary Policy: From There to Here to Where?
Sniderman, Mark, Economic Commentary (Cleveland)
Drawing from his long experience participating in the policymaking process at the Federal Reserve, chief policy officer Mark Sniderman shares his views on how the Federal Reserve's framework for conducting monetary policy has evolved over the past decade. He explains how changes in economic theory have helped shaped this new framework and how lessons learned from the Great Depression and Japan's recent struggle with deflation have contributed. This Commentary is based on a speech delivered at the Global Interdependence Conference, Tokyo, Japan, on December 4, 2012.
The Federal Reserve's framework for conducting monetary policy has evolved significantly during the past decade. Its evolution has been strongly influenced by developments in economic theory, lessons from the Great Depression, and ongoing economic challenges in Japan. Although much has been written about the Federal Reserve's use of unconventional monetary policy in response to the global financial crisis, I would suggest that this response is a very natural progression in applying economic knowledge and experience. Basing unconventional policies on knowledge and experience does not, of course, guarantee unqualified success, but it should provide a high degree of confidence in the Federal Reserve's approach to policy over the past few years.
I will elaborate on this perspective in this Commentary and conclude with some thoughts about the potential costs and risks associated with U.S. monetary policy.
Insights from Rational Expectations Theory
I'll begin with a quick review of how economic thinking has evolved over the past few decades. By necessity, this review will be highly selective, focusing on the developments that I regard as the most important for conducting monetary policy, and will concentrate on what economists call rational expectations.
That phrase is just a shorthand way of saying that the behavior of people and businesses inside our economic models must accord with the way the economy actually performs. For example, people cannot be modeled as systematically underestimating the inflation rate that the model generates; they know how the real economy actually works and cannot be persistently fooled.
The rational expectations revolution in economics took shape in academic circles in the 1970s, but had not yet affected the development and implementation of economic policy, including monetary policy. In those days, we didn't fully appreciate that our models rested on several flawed principles and that we were not characterizing monetary policy in a very satisfactory way. One major flaw was that models typically generated inflation expectations that were inconsistent with other equations specifying how economic actors behaved.
Another flaw was in in the use of policy models. Nobel laureate Robert Lucas demonstrated that economic models estimated under one policy regime could not be relied on to provide accurate predictions about the economy if policymakers were to behave differently in the future than they did during the past. That meant that we should not rely on such models to assess how the economy would perform if the strategy driving monetary policy were to change.
Third, we did not realize the usefulness of defining monetary policy as a rule for systematically adjusting a variable under the central bank's control- for example, the federal funds rate or the monetary base- in response to the economy's movements away from desired outcomes, such as full employment and price stability.1-2 We did not fully appreciate that the public would be formulating its own "rule" of central-bank behavior and acting accordingly. The seminal work of Nobel laureates Finn Kydland and Edward Prescott spawned a literature that taught policymakers how to use rules as "commitment devices" for implementing policy strategies that would be durably optimal through time.
Clearly, monetary policy as practiced had failed to stabilize inflation and inflation expectations. …

The results are in for HeLPURS, the first ever research study into the relationship between public library use and public health, a partnership between Portland physician Dr. Sam Zager and the Portland Public Library. The results provide evidence that public library use has quantifiable associations with health, particularly in the areas of substance abuse and depression-anxiety disorders. The most dramatic finding is that moderate or higher use of public libraries is associated with tobacco cessation. Individuals who have ever been smokers and who used the library at least moderately – seven or more items checked out per active year – were more than two times more likely to have successfully quit smoking, compared with smokers who used the library less.

Does half-shutter AF work good, or does it hunt around a lot?

This is the blog of a prune picker. (Native born Californian) Retired oilfield. I am an old man. (90) I blog a lot about my body and getting old. As I approach death life gets more interesting. More interesting is not good. I still drive. I attend sports, bluegrass, and civic events. I attend swim class three times a week. Some of my blogs might be interesting. A lot of my blogs are silly and trivial. None are very long.

I need Info from DI or Recruiting wives!
Drill Sergeant wife - you will never see your hubby, he will be tired all the time, and the army will take every last thing he has to give. DS duty usually makes soldiers sick of the army.
I've heard recruiter is quite time consuming as well.
"It is a poverty to decide that a child must die so that you may live as you wish" - Mother Teresa
DI is also tough but they do rotate in and out.You also have the benefit of knowing where you are going (CA or SC) and being on a base.
Good luck.They are both tough!
I've heard recruiter is better because you don't have the constant stress on your body, and you aren't working as much... and drill don't rotate because the need is still high. they might get 3 or 4 days off between cycles, they might not get a single day off, even now with the down sizing.

navy wife since 8/14/07 ftm to rylie ashlyn 4.9.09 girl #2 emma blair 4.16.11
DH worked in basic training land, and is now working in recruiting world. Both just plain suck. 6 day work weeks (many have 7 days, I know though), calls at all hours, little support from the higher-ups (right now, USAREC is on my naughty list, lol)...they both just suck. Not sure which one I hate less, though I will say it is better than having him deployed again. When I get so worn down from taking care of all the kiddos and everything else on my plate, I simply say a little "thanks" that he is safer than he was while deployed, and it could always be worst.
Whichever one he does, I highly suggest adjusting your expectations now (both of you!) as to how life will look during this duty.

My hubby is a Marine Recruiter. I'm sure depending on where you get stationed makes some of a difference but we are stationed in a very rural town with very little resources from the military. He usually works 6 days a week 10-16 hour days, and sometimes doesn't get a day off for two weeks because of pool functions on Saturdays, and MEPS trips going down on Sundays (which is a 6 hour drive each way so they stay overnight) which can burn them out. It is an extremely stressful duty for them, as the PP said if you don't make your objectives or make mission it can be devestating to your career. Requirements are high for Marines right now they are very picky on who they enlist. We have learned we have to have great communication, and have reallly grown as a couple through this duty. Although it really sucks sometimes, I am so thankful he gets to come home at night most of the time. :) Good luck with either route you guys choose! Feel free to message me if you have any questions about it :)

CLEVELAND — Drew Stubbs' RBI double with one out in the 10th inning lifted the Cleveland Indians to their fifth straight victory, 7-6 over the Minnesota Twins tonight.
Stubbs, who had four hits, drove a 1-0 pitch from Casey Fien off the wall in left-center to give Cleveland its first five-game winning streak since winning seven in a row from April 26-May 3, 2011.
Mike Aviles started the rally with a leadoff single off Fien (1-2). Pinch-hitter Ezequiel Carrera, claimed off waivers from Philadelphia on Thursday, moved Aviles to second with a sacrifice. Stubbs, who had two singles and two doubles, then drove in the game-winner.
Chris Perez (1-0) pitched a scoreless 10th for Cleveland.

"Incorrect charges of censorship."
Having read some of the previous reviews about censorship, and the editing out of curse words in this audio version, I felt that I should add a quick note on Hemingway's use of language in this novel. To give a sort of Spanish feel to the language, he writes a good portion of his dialogue a though it were directly translated from Spanish. So, "What passes with you?" can bear some getting used to. Also, he uses "thou" and "thy" at times in place of "you" to represent the moving between formal (usted) and informal (tu) Spanish. But, the big kicker (the one that seems to be making listeners upset) is the way he handles cursing. I believe that lines like, "I obscenity in the milk of thy tiredness," and "Where the un-nameable is this vileness I am to guard" are causing people to think that the audiobook has been censored in some way. It hasn't. Although, I'm not entirely clear on why Hemingway decided edit his English curse words in this way (strangely, the ones in Spanish are left intact), they are part of his original text; I checked my paper-bound version to be sure.
So, I hope you don't let reviews warning of censorship (or my technical review here) scare you away from a truly wonderful, thought provoking novel. You should read one of the reviews discussing the horror of war, love in the face of death, excitement of battle, camaraderie of soldiers, and think about buying (or not) the audiobook in those terms.
"Obsenity thee"
What a good book with a great narrator. Why edit the curse words? It is a huge distraction and is not true to an "undabridged version"!
"There's better out there."
Perhaps a different narrator would have made a difference. I've enjoyed Campbell Scott's performances in the past. This time he sounds completely different, uninterested and in need of a cup of coffee. It's a short read in print or find a different narrator. Reading took away from the story so I can't give it more stars.

"Great story, great writing, really enjoyable."
Everyone has a different concept of what makes great literature. For at least one friend of mine it has a lot to do with the use of literary devices and surprising twists. That's fine, but I think to be great literature, you have to start with a great story. Without a satisfying and sensible story, you've got nothing no matter how cleverly the story is constructed.
Fortunately, For Whom the Bell Tolls is, in my books, great literature. It is a compelling war story and it is superbly told (and very well narrated as well).
It is the story of an American who volunteers to fight in the Spanish Civil War against the fascists and with (are you sitting down, my American friends?) the communists. He is assigned a very difficult mission and faces serious challenges created by a key member of his team, among other causes. The story takes place over a couple of days, but there is a lot of drama and genuine-feeling emotion packed into those days. I don't want to spoil the story, so I'll stop there.
If you want to read a great war story and enjoy some great writing, look no further! I really enjoyed it, as have generations before me have and as generations after me will. Don't miss out.
The induction of Brevity
More editing
those involving action
Campbell Scott did a good job of narrating a bloated dialogue. I drive for a living and found that I missed whole passages to daydreaming because of the lack of action in this book. Internalized dialogue is quite frankly boring and this book is mostly that. I like Hemingway, one of my favorites is the Sun Also Rises, but I chose poorly in this instance.
I like to listen to audio books whilst mountain biking.
"A wonderful and stimulating experience"
My second Hemingway in a month in a life that previously had ignored this great man. Lovely performance by Mr Scott. I guess that's in his genes.
Because of this book I have been to Wikipedia so many times, from articles on the Spanish Civil War, to the page dedicated to Spanish profanity. When you listen, you 'll see why. This book is entertains and moves you, but also broadens you knowledge of world history. What more could you ask for? I thought about the famous Chapter 10 for days afterward.
Now I am moving on to The Old Man and the Sea.
"Very satisfied"
This was my first experience with an audio book, and I was impressed. Having never read this classic, I figured a long driving trip would be a perfect opportunity to try audible.com's offering. The reader amazed me with his ability to use foreign accents and different voice tones -- acting out the various characters. Without question, this was worth the money. I will surely buy other audio books in the near future.

"Pushing the Limits in 1940"
I first read this book in high school in the late 60s. In re reading/listening recently, it came across as very musty and dated. It was published during WWII. EH pushed the limits of what was permissible in terms of writing about sexuality and the use of profanity. (He apparently could more freely write about war and violence.) There's a lot of sex, violence and profanity in the book and none of it seems gratuitous. But the contrivances that EH was forced to employ - these seemed artificial and diminished what is otherwise a very powerful read. FWBT is very strong but is also sappy and chauvinistic. I would recommend it as THE Hemingway book to read in order to glimpse why EH is at once considered one of our most accomplished writers but also one of our most ridiculed. It is not his best book but I know of no other book of his that so well reveals his unique strengths along with his weaknesses. A must read for anyone interested in EH, which is anyone interested in American literature. Finally, Campbell Scott is a very good narrator. Hope he does more audiobooks.
"Dont listen to the silly reviews"
This book is NOT censored. It is an odd device Hemingway employs by substituting "obscenity" or "unprintable" for Spanish cuss words. Well narrated, great writing.
"Choose another Hemingway instead"
Hemingway uses special "literary techniques" in "For whom the Bell Tolls" that rather than enhancing the reading experience detract from it. Please see the list below. The ending is totally soppy. You learn nothing about the Spanish Civil War, and a better explanation for why Robert Jordan decided to fight with the Republicans should have been given. The scenes depicting physical attraction were bland and insipid. Some dislike the macho behavior of Hemingway's characters, but this doesn't bother me. I see it as typical of the times, and Pilar is the best character of this novel. She is a strong, intelligent, no-nonsense woman! What remains undeniably true though is that Hemingway can draw a scene so you see, hear, smell and feel it in your pores. It is interesting to see what goes through a soldier's mind, but there is so much wrong with this book I cannot justify a better rating.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with Scott Campbell's narration, except that a few bomb blasts fell flat. Even a good narrator cannot save a bad book.
May I suggest A Farewell to Arms instead?!
Through chapter 7:
This is what is bugging me:
1. The dialogs are NOT in the least believable. None of them.
2. Swear words are replaced with "unprintable word" or "obscenity". This is ridiculous and disrupts the prose! "F*/k you" will be written, "obscenity you", for example. Crazy! Hemingway wrote the book this way; it has not been censored later.
3. In the 30s people did not speak with the terms "thy", "thee", "thou art". This is driving me nuts. WHY has Hemingway done this?
(Answer: In Spanish there are different forms of pronouns that show the relationship between the people talking. Since the characters were speaking in Spanish, Hemingway wished to provide this information even in English.)
4. Robert Jordan is holier than "thou" (:0)), and it drives me crazy. SUCH a perfect soldier with SUCH motivation, and he is SO devoted to his job.
5. To top it all off the love between Maria and Robert Jordan jumps out of nowhere. The same day they meet they are in bed, no, actually a sleeping bag, and then she says in one of those above mentioned dialogs that she doesn't know how to kiss. Jeez! (OK, if one is a little patient an explanation is given.)
6. And what is this with calling Robert Jordan Robert Jordan?. Everyone else goes by one name, usually a nickname!

Making Connections
When mentors connect to young people, both are changed for the better. More than one in three students at risk of not graduating from high school grow up without an adult mentor in their life. AT&T Aspire seeks to improve that statistic by providing young people across the country with mentoring by AT&T employees. Through Aspire Mentoring Academy, our employees provided students who need it most with 1 million hours of mentoring.
Aspire Mentoring Academy events take place at AT&T work locations, online and in the community. We collaborate with nonprofit education groups to connect students to mentors, provide opportunities to learn life skills and about diverse career paths, and ultimately understand how what mentees are learning today connects to their success tomorrow.
"… You all motivate me to go to college, take school seriously, and be successful in life. These motivators keep me inspired and focused because I see how you are successful at want you do and this inspires me to stay focused so that I can be successful." – Student mentee from Dallas

Santa Shuffle, parade draw crowds to Manchester
MANCHESTER - Ashley Grondin and Melissa Murray each considered themselves big winners during Saturday's Santa Shuffle 3-mile road race, though for starkly different reasons.
Grondin, of Manchester, said the race was the start of her family's efforts to be healthier and get in shape. And she was all smiles as she was the last person to cross the finish line, which Millennium Racing workers were dismantling to make way for the Spirit of Christmas Parade, which started shortly after the race was finished.
"I don't care if I came in last," Grondin said. "I didn't quit. That's what matters."
For her part, Murray was the first woman to streak across the finish line, winning the race for the second time in its three years of being featured as part of Manchester's downtown Christmas festivities.
"It was a really great race," the 18-year-old from Newfields said. In 2011, she won the inaugural Santa Shuffle, and she came in second last year. She said her official time of 19 minutes and 19 seconds was "a good time for me."
Keith Thurp, director of marketing for Millennium Racing, said runners are encouraged to compete dressed in holiday garb. About 2,000 people participated in the race, according to results posted on the organization's website.
"We prefer everybody dress as a Santa Claus or some kind of festive attire," he said.
Nacho Hernando of Concord won the men's division, with race announcers saying he'd also won another race earlier Saturday in Laconia. Manchester's Richie Spitsberg came in second and Mike Veilleux of Weare was third. Following Murray in the women's open division was Stephanie Burnham of Goffstown and Mary Klene of Manchester.
Following the race, people lined both sides of Elm Street to watch the parade, including Jennifer Ramsey of New Boston and her sons, 3-year-old Nolan and 16-month-old C.J.
Asked whether he was hoping to catch a glimpse of Santa, Nolan, bundled up against the cold, shook his head."He wants to see the horns and the band," Ramsey said. "We're just hoping we can make it to the end and don't get too cold."

Antiques Considered - June 11, 2014

The owner of this "house" does not know its age or origin. He purchased it at a recent estate sale for $50. An old note inside indicated that it was made from a mailbox, but un-fortunately, the note was not dated. The interior, which is not divided into rooms, is not painted, and appears to be pine. The entire front is a door, which hinges on the left. He asks if the house is considered a "primitive?"
The definition of "primitive" varies greatly. Normally, it refers to an object or painting done by an unschooled artisan, an item that is at least 100 years old. Accepting that meaning, this piece probably is not primitive.
If we consider it to have been handmade, and produced as a one-of-a-kind object, we loosely could term it a "modern primitive", as it does not appear to have been made over a century ago.
Regardless of the age, it was a successful purchase for $50. The workmanship is quite good, and the painting is well executed. In shops that specialize in this type of more modern artwork, it would be priced several times that amount.
I suggest looking intently for a signature. I should think that the person who made it might have left a signature somewhere. I am interested as to how in its former life it could have been a mailbox, as it seems too large and bulky for such a purpose.
Unfortunately, it remains a mystery, and probably will unless a maker or date can be found. The purpose is also in question. With an undivided interior, it is not a dollhouse, indicating it possibly served for a type of storage. Should it prove to be an older piece that has been repainted, the value could increase significantly.
Happy Antiquing!

Today is a sad day for my Trek TX770. I went to pull it out of my garage after it sat all winter and it looks like it was at some point damaged. I'm guessing it's time for a new frame, but I thought I should ask in case there is a small chance that it is fixable. The crack is through the seat stay right where it connects to the brake bridge, but it's through the actual seat stay, not a crack in the brazing. Sorry for the bad picture. I can get more if necessary, but my camera was about to die.
Thank you for your help,

WASHINGTON – D.C. Councilmember Tommy Wells would like to restructure the District's laws surrounding marijuana.
"Current laws do not work," says Wells, a mayoral candidate.
He spoke at Community Family Life Services in Northwest Wednesday, announcing new legislation that would decriminalize possession of less than one ounce of marijuana.
"We are going to really acknowledge that the war on drugs, in particular marijuana, has worked to criminalize many of our youth," Wells says.
Under his bill, possessing small amounts of pot would be a mere fine, instead of a misdemeanor. Minors who are caught would be forced to attend a drug awareness program.
Wells says he has the votes to pass the measure.
A recent study by the ACLU shows D.C. leads the nation in per capita pot arrests.
"Our drug laws need to be substantially reformed," says Seema Sadanandan with the ACLU.
"It is time to end the racially biased and ineffective war on marijuana," Sadanandan says.
She says in D.C., blacks are eight times more likely to be arrested for marijuana possession than whites.

Mr. Kokou A. was born in 1968 in Gapé, where he now works as a farmer. A married father of two (2), he also has three (3) of his brother's children as apprentices. His main business is agriculture, which provides him with the means to meet the needs of his family. He owns a large field of pineapples, but due to the poor quality of the soil and the insects, he is no longer able to satisfy market demand. Very hard-working, he is asking for a loan to buy fertilizer and insecticides.

Since everyone on this MB has a Yahoo e-mail account anyway, I would suggest anyone interested in the truth go the the Yahoo homepage and type in the two words "foamy macrophage" and see what turns up. One poster says it is "only my posts from this MB." However, if you enter the two keywords above and scoll down the the University of Utah Medical Library reference on "pulmonary foamy macrophages" there are some revealing photographs of lungs and photomicrographs (microscopic cell and tissue pictures) that characterize why the FDA inquired about this finding. Remember also that lipids absorb hydrocarbons and smog/pollutants in the air enter the lungs. With this information, who (physician, scientist or lay person) would want their lungs to look like those pictures?!?
Only an idiot would try to discredit the truth. But there are a dedicated cadre of idiots on this MB.
I post "buy" as a recommendation, but I want potential investors to do their own DD. I know the science, medical principles and regulatory pathways. I am not a paper pushing, spaming pumper/daytrader. Just an INSM Long who got caught up in this battle of "hypotheses."
Sentiment: Buy
63 pennies
If as you say you are a veternarian and understand the science,why you would answer a obvious " idiot would try to discredit the truth"????
The poster pulling your chain is that ovious idiot.
rumdum, what in the world does having an Yahoo e-mail account have to do with doing a yahoo search? I don't have a Yahoo e-mail accoount, but I can still search for "foamy macrophage" It was the keywords "foamy macrophage Insmed" that showed results from you.
My point about the foamy macrophages was that you keep saying that Wedbush "leaked" the information - as if it is fine if Insmed shares non-public info with their analysts, but the analyst should not leak the information to shareholders. .... and you call me an idiot!!
I have never tried to discredit the truth - only your version of the truth.

What's the best thing in being 101 years old? The absence of peer pressure, said a 101 year old woman. Some people maintain their sense of humour and enjoyment of life into old age.
They've looked into the research around ageing and the brain – not neural pathways but mindsets. What did they find out?
We get more anti-social as older. People get more nervous of crowds as they get older. Shared experience is very important to the young. But over 35% of 65+ people still enjoy crowds. But it does show that by the late teens or early 20s some people are "getting old" – starting to dislike crowds. There are old brains and new brains – young brains like fun, change, reinvention. Old brains like a comfort zone of misery: "they're a pain in the arse".
There are six wisdoms of today's youth:
- Openness to change
- Being open to people
- Action-orientation
- Having fun
- Being positive and designing tomorrow
- Looking after yourself, then others
Gen Y are diversity blind – gay/straight, black/white. Doesn't matter. Young people are better at collaborating – the old brains think that's cheating. They prefer leadership to management. Management is about control and hierarchy. Leadership is forward-looking, and about encouraging people to identify with the vision.
Obviously, everyone here has a young brain

Brazilian beauty Bruna is busy learning Hindi and dancing these days. For she has plans on Bollywood now. After sizzling in item number 'Reham kare' in "Cash", Bruna has taken a fancy for the Hindi film industry. She now wants to be a part of it, balancing it with her modeling career.
Bruna started off her career in the glamour world with a commercial for a denim brand in Brazil, which was followed by numerous TV commercials, print ads and fashion shows. She worked with brands like Bolero, Colgate, Fa, Hitachi, Skyper, Sony, Spykar and Tropicana, and has been one of the prominent faces of Kingfisher Calendar 2007.
It was during one of the shoots that she was spotted by choreographer Rajiv, who introduced her to Shekhar Suman. A screen test later, Bruna was swaying in Shekhar's music album. "Reham kare" soon followed. "It was Rajiv again who introduced me to the director of "Cash" Anubhav Sinha. It was a pleasure working with Bollywood stars. Though I like dancing, I am not a good dancer. So I had to rehearse for it," the modest Bruna said.
She doesn't have any other Bollywood project in her kitty as yet. But Bruna is already in preparation mode. "I am learning Hindi and dance. If I want to work in Bollywood then I need to know the language. And I have already learned 'thoda, thoda'," she smiled.
Bruna gives credit to a reality show she hosted in Philippines for making her camera-friendly. "I would be glad to host such shows here in India also, as that would make me more confident in speaking in Hindi in front of the camera."
But her Bollywood dreams don't interfere with her modeling career. "Modeling will always be my first priority. I have the Lakme Fashion Week coming up in October. This is the third time I will be in it. Then there is Seagram's Blenders Pride fashion tour around India," said Bruna.
Bruna has a soft corner for India also because her maternal side hails from the country. "It's a beautiful country, I love the people, its family culture, which is very much like Brazil. That's the reason I love staying here. I am sure I am going to be here for a long time. This place has given me so much, I am thankful to God for showering his blessing upon me."

Foreign exchange was a $0.12 per share headwind for the Company in the quarter. Excluding foreign exchange, core earnings per share grew 17%.
The effective tax rate on core earnings was about 20%. Tax accounted for roughly $0.03 of earnings per share benefit on the quarter versus the prior year. We generated $3.2 billion in free cash flow, achieving 119% free cash flow productivity and remaining on track to deliver free cash flow productivity of about 90% for the fiscal year.
As planned, we returned $1.7 billion of cash to shareholders and dividends. We also announced a 7% increase in our dividend. P&G has now been paying a dividend for 124 consecutive years since its incorporation in 1890. This is the 58th consecutive year the Company has increased its dividend. We repurchased $1.5 billion in stock, bringing year-to-date share repurchase to $5.5 billion.
Stepping back, we're satisfied with our top line growth particularly against a difficult macro backdrop, constant currency earnings progress was very strong. We're reliably converting earnings to cash and are building on a strong track record of cash return to shareholders.
As we move forward, value creation for consumers and share owners remains our top priority. Operating TSR is our primary business performance measure. Operating TSR is an integrated measure of value creation at the business unit level, requiring sales growth, margin progress, and strong cash flow productivity. Operating TSR drives focus on core brands and businesses, our leading most profitable categories, and leading most profitable markets.
Our strongest brands and business units and total Company positions are in the U.S. We need to continue to ensure our home market stays strong and growing. The actions we've taken over the past two years to restore consumer value, expand our vertical product portfolios and horizontal regimens, and lead innovation have enabled us to restore value-creating share growth in many parts of the business.
We still have a lot more work to do in a few categories, and the competitive environment is intense, which leads to choppy results on a quarter-to-quarter basis, but we're making good progress. We'll continue to grow and expand our business in developing markets with a focus on the categories and countries with the largest sizes of prize and the highest likelihood of winning. This is where the world's babies will be born and where more new households will be formed. Developing markets will continue to be a significant growth driver for our Company this year and for years to come.
We'll continue to focus the Company's portfolio, allocating resources to businesses where we can create value. Over the past six years, we've exited businesses that have accounted for over $6 billion in sales, including coffee, pharmaceuticals, snacks, kitchen appliances and water purification. Last quarter, we announced our exit from the bleach business. Two weeks ago, we announced our plan to exit the pet food business.
Mars will buy our business in the Americas and several other countries. We expect to sell the European business to a different buyer. The $2.9 billion purchase price Mars has agreed to pay for the non-European business represents a 1.8 times multiple of sales and an 18 times multiple of EBITDA on an average of the past two years sales and profits for the global pet food business.

I have a medical condition that requires me to use a special bike seat if I am to bike and I have been using this seat:
It's very ugly and isn't all that conducive to races or practical riding but it works for me and my needs.
I'm looking into getting a cheap spin bike for my home for the winter, but I don't if a standard spin bike would be able to change saddles.
I've been looking at multisports enc-200 endurocycles or possibly a cheap used one off ebay. I've asked several sellers on ebay and even called multisports to ask if changing saddles was an option but I have not been given a definitive answer.
