The number of Seattle city employees making at least $100,000 has grown tenfold in less than a decade, with one in five workers earning six figures last year. But it's not bureaucrats behind desks driving the surge.
The number of Seattle city employees making at least $100,000 has grown tenfold in less than a decade, with one in five workers earning six figures last year.
But it's not bureaucrats behind desks driving the surge.
Of the 2,309 city employees in the six-figure club last year, 79 percent worked in three departments: police, fire and City Light. The vast majority were rank-and-file union employees — police officers, firefighters and power-line workers — not management types.

You can trace significant increases in $100,000 employees to recent contracts for those workers.
"I've got to believe that's what happened," said David Bracilano, the city's labor-relations chief, of the link between $100,000 pay and contractual raises for police, fire and City Light workers.
Overall, as the city continues to contend with a dreary economy, it is looking for ways to contain expenses. Total payroll last year, for example, dropped by $38 million.
But even as the belt-tightening occurs and some wages are frozen, the city is paying out for what was negotiated before the recession — salaries that make Seattle more competitive with other jurisdictions.
The police department saw a big jump in six-figure employees in 2008 — from 265 to 684 employees. That year, officers agreed to a new contract hailed by former Mayor Greg Nickels as a "major milestone" for police pay.
Officers received 12 percent raises, including an 8 percent retroactive raise for 2007. A veteran officer at the top pay grade would have made about $80,000 before the new contract, Bracilano said. Add raises provided for in the new contract and some overtime and that officer could well have topped $100,000 in pay.
The trend continued at the fire department and City Light.
At the fire department, the biggest increase in six-figure employees came in 2009, when firefighters won a 6.2 percent raise.
The size of City Light's six-figure club more than tripled in 2006. That year, members of City Light's largest union received an 8.3 percent increase in salaries, with most of that retroactive pay for 2005. Overtime at the municipal utility also exploded that year, from $10 million to $24 million.
Outside of police, fire and City Light, where workers with dangerous jobs commanded high pay, most of the city's $100,000- workers wore white collars. They were executives, managers, strategic advisers, information-technology specialists, engineers and lawyers.
Their ranks actually declined last year from 724 to 492 — a drop of 32 percent.
But don't be misled. The reduction in six-figure white-collar staff appears temporary.
Most employees who dipped below the $100,000 threshold did so because they took 10 unpaid furlough days last year, the equivalent of a 4 percent pay cut.
Most of those same workers will not be required to take furloughs this year and could expect to rejoin the club.
Still, the city last year had a significantly higher percentage of $100,000 employees (21 percent) than King County (11 percent).
Price of accountability
Police accounted for the biggest share, by department, of employees making $100,000 — one-third of the city total.
"I don't make any excuses for our wages," says Rich O'Neill, president of the Seattle Police Officers' Guild, the union that represents about 1,200 officers and sergeants.
Seattle police officers were relatively underpaid before 2008, O'Neill says. Until then, their annual starting pay ranked behind seven West Coast cities used as comparables in bargaining. (The "West Coast Seven" are Portland, Sacramento, San Francisco, Long Beach, Oakland, San Jose and San Diego.)
Seattle was having well-documented problems hiring new officers back when the economy was roaring. And it was losing its own to nearby cities that paid more. The 2008 contract aimed "to stop the exodus," O'Neill said, "and attract the best and brightest."
It committed to a 25.6 percent increase in wages over four years.
The milestone pact sought to do even more.
After high-profile incidents of alleged officer misconduct, Nickels convened a panel in 2007 to recommend improvements in police accountability.
The group, which included former Gov. Gary Locke and former U.S. Attorney Mike McKay, came up with 29 recommendations. They included strengthening the role of the police department's civilian auditor and civilian accountability director.
In 2008, a year from his campaign for a third term, Nickels pushed to implement all 29 suggestions — which came at a price.
"We had to pay money because the Guild considers [the changes] an erosion of their rights," Bracilano said.
After raises that year, Seattle moved into the middle of the West Coast Seven pack for starting salaries; Seattle cops with 10 years on the force did the same, according to union statistics.
Within Washington state, Seattle officers became the highest paid, for both new hires and 10-year veterans, after the 2008 raises. Nickels even touted that fact in a news release.
That's where Seattle officers should rank, O'Neill says. "We have the most dangerous jobs."
Overtime is key
Kenny Stuart, president of Seattle Firefighters Local 27, makes a similar argument.
"We're infected by people, exposed to carcinogens, it's all this invisible stuff, not just collapsing buildings," he says.
One big difference, though, between pay for police and firefighters is overtime.
While overtime amounted to just 6 percent of city payroll last year, it was a decisive factor for a majority of the city employees who made six figures last year — particularly firefighters.
Firefighters led the city in median overtime per employee last year, with $10,949 — more than twice as much as police. Unlike other city departments, fire-department overtime has steadily climbed over the last decade.
That's because it essentially has been built into the firefighters' work. Their 2008 contract calls for four firefighters to work on all trucks at all times. If one crew member is out sick or on vacation, another firefighter is brought in on overtime to fill the requirement.
By contrast, if a police officer patrolling Ballard calls in sick, O'Neill says, there's just one fewer cop on the streets. Overtime for police is driven more by special events, such as parades and big games, or high-profile crimes that involve intensive investigations.
The city could easily reduce firefighters' overtime, Stuart says: Just hire more firefighters. But the city finds it more economical, he says, to pay a certain amount of overtime. A City Council analysis this year confirmed that was true for police officers "due to the cost of benefits and paid time off" and officers on disability and extended leave.
The real measure of firefighter pay in Seattle, Stuart says, isn't whether it crosses a kind of random "round number" such as $100,000. Rather, it's how it stacks up against the West Coast Seven cities, he says, where Seattle usually ranks in the middle of the pack.
According to Bracilano, the labor-relations director, "the city has taken a position that it's OK for Seattle to rank in the middle" of the seven.
City Light's been on an overtime roller coaster in recent years.
When the Hanukkah Eve Storm of 2006 clobbered the region with downed trees and power outages, City Light had 30 vacant lineman positions because of tight budgets and a labor shortage.
City Light tried to call in contractors. But it couldn't find enough quickly. Snohomish County Public Utility District had a similar problem. The region needed more linemen; City Light's overtime bill was staggering.
It was further inflated that year by the city's building boom and work on Sound Transit's new light-rail line and new Seattle Housing Authority projects, said Suzanne Hartman, City Light communications director.
City Light brought overtime costs down in each of the next three years, in part, because the big transit and housing projects were completed. But the utility also hired line workers and revived its apprentice program.
Overtime shot back up last year. Major outages, unforeseen regulatory tests, downtown network upgrades, which had to occur at night, all played a part, Hartman says. Then a dog on Queen Anne was killed by "touch voltage" from a metal plate next to a light pole, leading to citywide testing.
"This is a balancing act," says Hartman. "If we can predict our workloads and can foresee work continuing, it makes sense to hire. However, in our world we can't predict some of the things that may happen that drive the need for overtime."
Austerity measures
Some city employees ask: Why draw the line at $100,000? It's just an arbitrary number that salaries will eventually cross; only 8 percent of city workers outside police, fire and City Light hit that mark last year.
Why not focus on the city's recent cost savings? Firefighters, for instance, went without cost-of-living increases last year and this one. Executives and managers did the same. Other city union members agreed to trim their cost-of-living raises. The city is also restructuring some workers' schedules as a way to reduce overtime.
To be fair, 8,500 of the city's 10,600 workers took some kind of hit in pay this year — either a freeze, or a reduced cost-of-living increase, according to Mayor Mike McGinn.
Still, $100,000 is well above Seattle's estimated median household income of $60,000.
And it's illustrative of the city's steady, though unspectacular payroll increase, which over the last decade has averaged 4.5 percent a year.
"We had a number of good years in the economy, which was reflected in compensation increases," McGinn said. "That's the situation I took office in, and now have to work with."
McGinn said he couldn't yet detail his 2012 budget — to be released late this month — or preview any austerity measures. But he noted that 93 management positions have been cut since he took office last year.
Police and firefighter unions are negotiating new contracts. Key players are mum about specifics but say they're mindful of the sagging economy's effect on taxpayers.
"These are different times. I think the city and union recognize that," O'Neill says.

Fragmentary Endings: A Discussion of 3rd-Millennium BC Burial Practices in the Oman Peninsula
Blau, Soren, Antiquity
Monuments to the dead in the form of graves and tombs comprise the majority of archaeological features surviving in the two countries on the Oman Peninsula, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and the Sultanate of Oman. Archaeological sequences for both these countries have been well established through an assessment of tomb architectural style (e.g. Haerinck 1991), as well as associated material culture such as ceramics (e.g. Taha 1974) and bronzes (e.g. Magee 1998). Archaeological studies have predominantly focused on typologies. As a result, relatively little attention has been given to the burial practices themselves. This paper seeks to provide a comprehensive review of current knowledge of tombs dating to the so-called Umm an-Nar period (c. 2500-2000 BC) in the Oman Peninsula. Until recently, few synthetic analyses of these tombs, encompassing detailed excavation and skeletal analyses, have been undertaken. One particular Umm an-Nar tomb, Unar 2, has been extensively analysed, augmenting our understanding of the burial practices at this time.
Umm an-Nar burial structures
Initial interest in the archaeology of the Oman Peninsula occurred in 1958 as a result of oil prospectors finding archaeological remains when working on the island of Umm an-Nar, adjacent to the Emirate of Abu Dhabi (Fenelon 1976: 120). Following an initial inspection, a Danish team excavated between 1959 and 1965 and provided the first insight into material culture dating to the 3rd millennium BC. The so-called Umm an-Nar period was named after the island on which remains were first found (Frifelt 1991). The most prominent remains dating to this period are the monumental Umm an-Nar tombs.
Despite a relatively short history of archaeological research in the UAE, over 65 of these tombs have been recorded and documented in one form or another, including excavation of approximately a third of them (TABLE 1). The results from surveys and excavations show that the tombs are located throughout the Oman Peninsula in coastal, piedmont and desert (oasis) environments (FIGURE 1).

The Future of the Chinese Middle Class
The Party is now aware that in order to create a genuinely prosperous and stable society it can no longer sideline the aspirations of the consumer class
When the Rolex store in Beijing's swanky Sanlitun shopping district shut its doors earlier this year due to lackluster sales, it was taken as a sign that the government's austerity campaign, launched in December by Xi Jinping, had begun to take effect.
At the same time, upscale Beijing restaurants in January saw revenue decline an average 35 percent on the previous year. A certain sense of irony accompanies this new frugal approach to life among the country's upper class – just as their leaders advocate increased domestic consumption, those with genuine consumer power are going to ground, suddenly afraid to flaunt their wealth.
A pro-austerity campaign alongside a pro-consumption drive may seem paradoxical, but in reality both movements are part of a wider push to placate a middle class that has, despite lacking political power, emerged as a core constituency with its own unique needs and desires.
As China's growth model shifts from being export to consumption-based, the burgeoning middle class hold the keys to the effective future governance and prosperity of the entire country more than any other group. Companies and banks abroad are also closely observing the rise of the Chinese consumer, knowing that their purchasing power could potentially reshape the global economy.
After years of debate over its very existence, the Chinese middle class (property-owning professionals and small and medium-sized business owners) has now emerged as the driving force behind Chinese policy development and is in the process of becoming the largest single consumer market the world has ever seen.
It was not until the late 1980s that the term "middle class" began to appear in academic writing related to the rise of rural industry and private urban entrepreneurship. At that time, academics generally agreed that referring to these newly-monied up-and-comers as "middle class" was not particularly apt because they tended to come from underprivileged and uneducated backgrounds.
Over the past decade, however, increased globalization and urbanization has created a group that the government now seems comfortable calling China's middle class, although this group is materially different from its US and European equivalents.
Although China's middle class is made up of a complex mosaic of groups and individuals, it can be divided into three major clusters.
The first is an economic cluster that includes private sector entrepreneurs, small urban business owners, employees of foreign and domestic joint ventures, stock and real estate speculators, rural industrialists and rich farmers. The second is a political cluster that includes government officials, clerks, state sector managers and lawyers. The third and final group is a cultural and educational cluster that includes academics and educators, media personalities, public intellectuals and those working for think tanks.
Based on criteria combining occupation, income, consumption and innovation, distinguished Chinese sociologist Lu Xueyi noted that in 2009 the middle class constituted 23 percent (243 million) of China's total population, up from 15 percent in 2001. Lu predicts that the Chinese middle class will grow at an annual rate of 1 percent over the next decade or so. As a result of this consistent growth, members of the middle class will be better able to organize socially and politically, leaving the government with no other choice but to proactively factor the middle class into all major policy decisions.
Globally, the meaning of "middle class" tends to translate well in demographic and economic terms, but its political and cultural significance tends to differ from country to country. Lu believes that China will become a "true middle-class nation" in twenty years when the middle class constitutes 40 percent of the Chinese population, a figure approximately on a par with her analysis of Western societies.
According to a study by two analysts at the Brookings Institution, China accounted for only 4 percent of global middle class spending in 2009. By volume this made it the seventh-largest middle class country in the world (unsurprising, given its 1.3bn population), but in terms of per capita income, China still lags far behind Western, and most other East Asian, economies.
Nevertheless, the Brookings Institute concluded that China could become the "world's largest single middle class market by 2020, surpassing the United States."
The middle class is not evenly distributed throughout China. According to some calculations, by 2009, this group already constituted 40 percent of the population in major cities such as Shanghai and Beijing.
The proportion of Chinese urban residents is expected to increase by 34.8 percent between 2000 and 2030, the fastest urbanization rate in history, according to economist Hu Angang. By 2030, 71 percent of the Chinese population will live in cities, making up 21 percent of the world's total urban population. However, how this will impact average incomes is far from clear.
While the economic opportunities for China's new middle class will be great, so will the costs. While the ability to buy a house, a car, and luxury goods has become synonymous with the Western middle class ideal, in China, a country already facing grave environmental, health, and housing crises long before it has made its citizens even moderately wealthy, such hopes and dreams could yet come to represent the single greatest socioeconomic dilemma of the 21st century.
What could hamper the transition to consumption-based growth could be a general skepticism concerning social mobility. While Americans thrilled at the prospect of fulfilling the American Dream in the 1950s, in China, few seem to enjoy such unbridled optimism.
The Chinese Ministry of Health revealed in 2011 that the majority of Chinese professionals — 51 percent — showed signs of depression. Extreme socioeconomic pressure in Chinese society, including skyrocketing housing prices when home ownership is almost always a precondition of marriage, environmental degradation which has led to some of the world's worst urban pollution, health scares over tainted food, water and infant formula and the ever-present problem of official corruption have all shattered public confidence in the government and the country's future direction.
Middle class grievances over government policy have become increasingly evident in part because the expansion of the middle class has slowed even as economic disparity has increased. Members of the middle class often complain that they, rather than the upper class, have shouldered most of the financial burden of the government's "harmonious society" policies.
As the Party turns to austerity while also trying to convince the populace to spend more freely, the message is clear: there is now the political will at the top to engender optimism in the middle class. Indeed, only when middle class consumption fulfils its potential and when middle class interests in public health, rule of law, and freedom of speech are all institutionally protected, will Xi Jinping's "Chinese Dream" have a hope of becoming a reality.

As China's consumer class emerges to become the driving force behind growth, it provides a new challenge to the country's leadership

The words of the rescript give no hint of anger, and the real explanation prob- ably will not leak out for several days, but tbe Instant disposition was to regard the retirement of Grand Duke Alexis and Admiral Avellan as a concession to public opinion following tho crowning tragedy of the Sea of Japan Charges of mismanagement and inef- ficiency and tales of corruption, and even worse, against the marine department, have been rife for years After the war began they Increased tenfold, and lately a regular campaign against the depart- ment has been operly conducted In the newspapers. Some startling revelations have been made In this campaign, and Capt dado, who was one of the leading critics of the conduct of the navy, was dismissed from the service for his per- sistence. It was felt even In quarters where charges of corruption were not entertain- ed that It would be unwise to intrust the rebuilding of the navy to the hands which were responsible for the hapless fleets of the past Persian Rugs and Carpets, with a fine collection of Mahogany Furniture, at Sloan's, Q st, to-day at 11 a. m and 8 p. m, Laot day of the sale.

The report says, in part: "During the first two decades after the surrender an effort was evidently made to cast the general record of the South- ern States Into an approbrlous shadow, and also to infect the minds of the youths of the country with the opinion that there was nothing noble, nothing truo, nothing good in the Confederate causa. The attempted perversions of history were resented, but the South was without facil- ities for reaching, by any kind of litera- ture, the masses of their countrymen of the Northern States to correct the errors Into which they were led. "Therefore, unfair history and other pernicious publications gained entrance into the schools and homes of nearly every section, North and South, and a disastrous inflammation of the sectional spirit -was the result The protest of Confederate associations caused Investiga- tions, which resulted In the discovery tbat the South was permitting Its sons and daughters to be taught that the gross charges against the Southern people, of rebellion, treason and war atrocities, and the like were historical facts This dis- covery was followed by appeals to boards of education and other civil authorities, to Southern self-respect, and to honor- able publishers, with a result that the most offensive of the false histories have been driven from Southern sohools.

IBM Study: How to Make Social Work
IBM has been on a roll lately with interesting information you can use to grow your business. Today, I want to talk about their "The Business of Social Business" report.
We sometimes come down hard on social media, declaring that it's not the golden goose it's often made out to be. But the truth is, it's not social media's fault, it's the fault of the social media marketer (myself included, so don't get all huffy.) When you look at the world of advertising from print, to TV, to banner ads, social media hasn't been around all that long. The only thing newer is mobile and not by much.

OU football: Joe Castiglione treads lightly in discussing football stadium renovations during Sooner Caravan event
PLANO, Texas — Many University of Oklahoma supporters gathered inside the Gleneagles Country Club started asking Joe Castiglione about football stadium upgrades before Tuesday's Sooner Caravan event even began.
The OU athletic director addressed those questions very lightly during his remarks, saying he didn't have anything significant to announce regarding facilities.
"We're on the threshold of making that announcement here soon," Castiglione said. "As you know, last fall we announced those plans were underway, and we've taken six-to-eight months or so for it to develop.
"I'm really excited about what's transpired since then. It's been a great project; a great experience. It's comprehensive in nature."
The athletic department began a feasibility assessment for football stadium improvements in October, with Populous, a Kansas City, Mo.-based architecture firm, being designated to review and upgrade the stadium's "Master Plan."
A local television report earlier this month said a massive plan for stadium upgrades and expansion had already been "approved" and could be ready as soon as the fall of 2015, but multiple sources have since told The Oklahoman that plans are still being developed.
New stadium suites, a new weight room and a new press box and enhanced fan amenities are top priorities for the project, which could include the bowling off of the South end zone.
Sources said last week that stadium upgrades still haven't been through a competitive bidding process, and no items on the agenda of last Thursday's Board of Regents meeting were about football stadium renovations.
After the meeting, though, OU president David Boren told The Norman Transcript that a plan could be presented to the regents at next month's meeting in Ardmore.
"I think people can begin to get excited about potential changes to the stadium in the future," Boren told the Transcript.
The future stadium upgrades will be the first major work to the football stadium in about a decade. When the east upper deck and suites were added in 2003 and 2004, stadium capacity increased by nearly 10,000.
"There are two goals that we set out to try and attain through this process," Castiglione said Tuesday. "One is to create world-class resources for our world-class student-athlete experience, and second was to create the experience that is second-to-none in the country.
"We are on our way to making that happen. We'll announce that here very, very soon."
Addressing boosters and OU supporters Tuesday night, Castiglione touted the athletic department's recent on-field success and financial stability as proof that "we're being good stewards of the support you give our university."
The OU athletic department is one of only seven nationally that was profitable without relying on student fees or other subsidies.
"We don't receive state appropriations," Castiglione said. "We don't receive tax dollars. We don't receive financial support from the university, nor do we have any student fees that go to the support of intercollegiate athletics.
"Why that's important is because your university program is making it on its own."

Dandy Diary X Sponsoring
Unlike virtually all other fashion blogs (Vomit! Horror!) we don't act as if we had any ethical standards as for accepting clothes, giveaways, drinks, travel, drugs, shoes, food (lunch, dinner, whatever!), accessories and sexual favors. On the contrary, we love, want – more of it, please!
On the picture above I'm only wearing things that I got for free: a cap and a t-shirt from TOPMAN, wooden sunglasses from KERBHOLZ, pants from ORLEBAR BROWN, tattos by HARDCORE INK and white wine from Ercan.

Inflationary, bad: Wood-Sunglasses!
On a daily-bases, press-releases by labels are reaching us, which have specialised in the production of sunglasses out of wood.
They are boasting themselves with sustainability. Are praising their work with totally funny slogans like 'Woody since 2012′, 'In Wood We Trust' or 'Done by nature, designed for your eyes'.
All die Holzbrillen-Designs von Marken wie Kerbholz, Stadtholz, Wood Fellas, WOODONE, ROLF Spectacles, Eric Lauer, Enzo Forciniti, Scherler oder Zeitgeist Berlin tun das nicht.
The Berlin-based label with the original name 'Stadtholz' is assuring that one 'really has a piece of nature on their nose', when purchasing their glasses.
But does one want that?! Having a piece of nature on your nose, when it looks bad. Sustainability is great and all. But fashion is mainly about design. And that should look good.
Plus, there is nothing more annoying than labels, who are massively pining 'sustainability' on their flag. Most of the times it is exactly those labels, who have as much to do with sustainability as bumm-bumm-Boris with the smart usage of Twitter. Not a lot.
KRISVANASSCHE is not going to be continued!
Shortly after Scott Sternberg announced the end of Band of Outsiders, Kris Van Assche has also informed the public, that the label, which also carries his name, is not going to be continued.
Kris Van Assche will mainly concentrate on his work for DIOR HOMME. The Belgian designer announced the end of his label through a hand-written letter which he gave to his business partners and the press.
'Times are tough for independent labels.', Van Assche said to WWD. 'This wonderful adventure has reached a point where I feel the need to take a break and some distance to better think about how to develop my brand in the future.'
We will miss the sporty-but-buttoned-up aesthetics by KRISVANASSCHE!

New York Fashion Week: Hood by Air AW 2015
HOOD BY AIR presented their new collection 'Daddy' in a cellar-like setting at the Wall Street, the centrum of finance.
The mastermind behind HBA, Shayne Oliver, showed classics from the world of fashion, like button-down shirts, sweaters and polo t-shirts in the typical unisex Hood by Air Silhouette. Therefore it came to an hybrid between polo shirt and dress. Or camel coat and tank top.
The models wore locks in-front of their mouths and tights over their heads, like burglars. The soundtrack of the show, total freedom, was ended drastically, followed by jazz, underlined with the statement of the Empire:
"I wanna show you a faggot really can run this company".
It becomes obvious how appreciated HBA is also in the art-world, when looking at the guests who attended the show, for example Klaus Biesenbach and Grace Coddington.
It seems that HBA, even after the diss by their once supporter A$AP ROCKY, is still very hip.

Hello. I am trying to export Window Mail Messages to Microsoft Outlook - but error message is always saying that "The export could be performed; An error occurred while initializing MAPI."
Any one knows how to resolve this problem?
Just copy the EML files from the message store and drag them into an OE folder.
Export only exports to Outlook or another Exchange program.
Both Outlook and OE/WM must be installed and functional on the machine being used to do the transfer. The import/export process both OE and WM use require some of Outlook's files in order to access a .PST file; likewise for Outlook which must use some of OE//WM's files to access messages in those stores (.DBX files for OE). The MAPI error you see means WM can't find the Outlook files it needs.

I've found a tip on some other Vista community that works.
In Windows Mail messages are stored as .eml files.
Deep in the structure (under: users - apps data - Microsoft Mail) you see the folder structure of Windows Mail, and for each folder there is a subdirectory containing all .eml messages.
What you can do is copy those folders and .eml files onto e.g. a USB stick, or on your target computer.
Then open Outlook Express and Windows Explorer on that other machine, find the copied .eml files, select them in Windows Explorer and drag the into the wanted folder of Outlook Express.
It works.
The same with your contacts.
Export them in Windows Mail as Vcards, e.g. to your USB stick. Find them in Windows Explorer on the target machine, and while having Outlook Express open, drag them into the list of contactpersons there.
It works too.
Don't talk unless you can improve the silence.
The best way to do this is do download Dmailer sync it allows you to synchronzie all your email data from Outlook, Outlook Express and Windows Mail. Then you can restore that data to Outlook, Outlook Express or Windows Mail. You can even synchronize your files and internet Bookmarks or Favorites at the same time this is helpful if you are moving computer.
Using this software will not cost you because you can do this within the free 30 day trial period.
You can download it from: Dmailer.com
Have a look at the similar earlier discussion that may be of some help to you

As Commodore used Charge Beam, Jem counter attacked with Energy Ball. The two projectiles were pushing eachother back and forth, however, all of that energy was edging extremely close to Commodore. If this hit him, Commodore wouldn't have lasted long. Commodore got a small boost in power when using charge beam so that helped him push it back evenly.
"Commodore! Don't give in!" Mark called out. It's a shame that Jem didn't have any electric type attacks for Commodore to converse to. That would have made charge beam much more effective. The two blasts were all evened out. Whoever would be hit by this blast would likely get knocked out or wounded. The Charge beam began to slowly edge toward Jem...
"Keep going Commodore! We got this!"

Update on FlorenceFlorence is a 44-year-old, married woman. She has two children, one of them attending school. Florence sells crude salt, which she has been doing for 10 years, plus she manages rental units for additional income. She began her business to earn money for school fees, to educate her children to meet her dream. Florence is a hard-working person. Change in weather is a challenge she faces.
Florence is asking for a loan to buy salt to sell.
Previous Loan DetailsFlorence is a 41-year-old married lady with four children. She lives in Kasese, Uganda. Florence's personal goal is to educate her children and build a permanent house.

Additional Information
More information about this loan
Important InformationThis loan provides farmers and low-income entrepreneurs from underserved rural areas with access to financial services. By supporting this loan, you allow more farmers and rural entrepreneurs to access capital.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.
Loan tags help lenders find loans that match certain areas of interest. You can add up to 5 tags for this loan.

finance/php-tclink: Confirmed functional for all PHP versions
The maintainer confirmed that the limitation of tclink to php 5.3 was
an error and that it functions on all supported versions of PHP. As a
result, the port's deprecation tag has been removed.
php53 and fallout: Deprecate, set removal for 15 APR 2015
The PHP developers stopped providing security patches for the 5.3
branch on 14 August 2014. They "strongly urge" to upgrade to current
versions "as using older versions may expose you to security
vulnerabilities and bugs that have been fixed in more recent versions"
of PHP.
The PHP53 branch was released from maintainership today, so it's being
deprecated with removal set for 15 April 2015.
There were only 8 ports limited to php53, six of which were pecl- ports.
These ports must be upgraded to use a later version of php (5.6 is
recommended) soon, or they will be removed with php53.
Note that all 8 ports incorrectly set the PHP_DEFAULT_VERSION, so this
was changed to use IGNORE_WITH_PHP instead while here.

Obama invited Muslim Brotherhood to his speech in Cairo in 2009
Remember when Obama went on his America bashing tour in the middle east back in 2009? Seems an overlooked fact (until now) that he invited members of the Muslim Brotherhood to his America bashing speeching in Cairo. Yes, the same Muslim Brotherhood looking to seize power in Egypt right now, and turn Egypt into a carbon copy of Iran. Jihad Watch has more on the Muslim Brotherhood, and their invite from Obama in 2009.
http://www.fireandreamitchell.com/2011/02/01/obama-invited-muslim-brotherhood-to-his-speech-in-cairo-in-2009/Middle EastmuslimsMiddle East,muslims
The Muslim Brotherhood is an international Islamic organization dedicated to the imposition of Sharia, by violent or peaceful means, throughout the world. It was founded in Egypt in 1928 as a reaction to the abolition of the caliphate by the secular Turks in 1924, in order to reassert the political and supremacist elements of Islam.

An American schoolboy has become a global phenomenon after landing a 67-yard field goal kick during an American football match.
Austin Rehkow of Central Valley Bears pulled off his miraculous kick - which beats the NFL record by four yards - in a match against local rivals Shadle Park High School.
Even more amazing than the kick itself is the pressure that Rehkow was under: the 17-year-old stepped up to take his shot with just two seconds left on the clock and his team trailing 55-52.
His astonishing piece of skill sent the game into overtime, and the Bears then went on to score a touchdown in the added time to clinch the match.
The player himself admitted that he didn't think he had made the kick - which was longer than any he had ever attempted, even in practice.
"I kicked it and I was a little bit worried it was going to be a little bit left," Rehkow told US breakfast TV show Good Morning America, who invited him on as a guest after his heroics.
"It started to straighten out for me, and from 67 yards out it's kind of hard to tell if it goes over the bar or is just short of it. I really just had to wait for the refs to put their arms up for me.
"To get it with no wind, and especially to (go on and) win the game, it's a special feeling."
As dramatic as Rehkow's kick was, it's not quite the longest ever seen in gridiron: that was a 69-yard kick made in a college game in 1976.
That shot was made by Sweden's Ove Johansson, who went on to have a career in the NFL. He was the first Swede to play in the league until a knee injury cruelly ended his athletic career.

Re: JDS v Velasquez II
I still just have no real interest in this match.
I don't know what it is, maybe its just that I don't find Cain or JDS real interesting guys or feel there's chemistry there. Obviously Cain has something to prove and JDS just looks fantastic in there, but its just not a fight that intrigues me at all. Even Cormier, the guys to me are just pretty bland and I can't really get behind them like I would Brock, Mir or Overeem. I think I like the attractions and the charismatic guys rather than dudes like Cain or JDS who are the silent type with the heavy hands, just not something I'm hugely into.
But it'll be a big fight, and I guarantee a lot of people will pick Cain once again. And after Cain's performance tonight, I'm inclined to agree.

If you don't find the poem you want here, try our incredible, super duper, all-knowing, advanced poem search engine.
More things can happen or could have happened,
From a cold metal,
Sharpened in fine fettle,
Making skin nettled,
Damaging the mettles,
To keep minds unsettled,
Provoking to ask, if this is or if this was real or mental?
Blade on arms,
Skin might be harmed;
Skin was gashed,
Blade grinding and gnashed,
Red colors coming in a flash...
Blade on gut,
Feeling a sudden jut,
Provoked as a rut,
But, this was a guff...
Blade on neck,
Thinking about a sudden sweep,
Discord trying to overcome conviction and peace,
Even though, the blade failed again,
Failing to provoke the red gushes and streams...
Blade on heart,
Might be the last battle so far,
Trying to not give in, being so hard,
Though in the past, there could have been to many cuts,
And more deadly slashes,
Creating red splashes and plashes,
As I slowly might have fought, winning or losing,
Against the sleeping and life flashing feeling,
As I bleeded out..

I want to write
This time of that cold night
when I heard my mother cry
When I saw her lie
Flat on her belly
Her back bare and scaly
Her eyes swollen
Her right stolen
By one she called husband.
I saw the tears
I saw her fears
she sobbed between the whips
she tightly bit her lips
And tightened her hips
to swallow the pain
just for her stay.
I want to write
this time of that night
that night without stars
when I saw the scars
On her back
the scars stuck
made a permanent mark
on her back.
I want to write
I want to write
This time of my mother
write her as a victim
tortured by male chauvinism.
write her as a strong woman
Who challenged the stress of a man
Mama who raised us
built us
Made us.
so rise mama and shine
All will be fine
Mama rise and shine
All will be fine
All will be fine.

Filmmaker Abhishek Kapoor feels it is high time to create a definite rating system for films so that a demarcation between sleaze and adult content can be made for the convenience of filmmakers and viewers.
In the current scenario, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) categorises both adult and sleazy content under one umbrella of 'A' certificate.
Kapoor, the director of films like "Rock On!!" and "Kai Po Che!" suggests that "we can always put a rating system where we can distinguish between a good film and a sleazy film. A lot of people have been discussing this because censor thing is damaging us".
"No one realises that it's like a bottleneck for such a big industry and we have to figure this out keeping in mind that you don't want to offend the sensibilities," the filmmaker told IANS.
Censorship needs to shape up to offer innovative solutions, and to refrain from moral policing.
"The problem is you can't show an A-certificate film (on TV) because if you show that, you will also end up showing some absolute sleaze porn as well because they both go with A-certificate.
"There should be a bifurcation what can be shown in adult certification and what can be shown on television or what cannot be shown on television so that one can come up with some other certification," he added.
His films have been clean so far, but Kapoor feels that when he ventures into bolder subjects, his film should not fall pray to censor certification.
"Tomorrow, if I make an adult film, nobody should be able to stop me like that. You can keep a separate rating for it."
Citing the example of National Award winning film "The Dirty Picture", he said the film "had to go through so much of embarrassing humiliating experience because at the end of the day it's not just a business, it is a piece of art and it's treated so badly that it's very humiliating".
