The wounds surrounding last September's ethics investigation and reprimand of Vancouver City Councilor Jeanne Harris were clearly fresh on the minds of the city council Monday as it discussed changes to its 12-year-old ethics policy.
Though no formal decisions on the policy were made, the city council agreed Monday that instead of its forming an ad hoc committee of its own members — as it did last fall in its investigation of Harris' "gavel down" clash with citizen speakers and Councilor Jeanne Stewart — any valid complaints would go before a hearings examiner or other neutral party. That person would then make a recommendation to the city council, which would take final action.
"Here, it becomes too incestuous and too biased," Harris said.
In September 2010, the city council formed a committee of three councilors — Larry Smith, Jack Burkman and Pat Campbell — to investigate claims that Harris violated a clause in the council's ethics policy by failing to treat Mayor Tim Leavitt and Stewart with respect during a Sept. 13 meeting. Smith and Burkman filed the complaint. Based on a recommendation from the committee, the city council voted to strip Harris of all her council-appointed board and commission positions and offer a letter of reprimand.
The conversation grew tense Monday as the council again went over the events of last fall.
"Two people filed the complaint, the same people participated in the investigation and the same people benefitted from the action," she said, referring to the fact that Smith and Burkman moved into seats she formerly held. "I have a hard time believing in the fairness of that."
Harris called it a way to use an ethics investigation as a weapon, and pointed to a recent dustup in Battle Ground where two ethics complaints against Councilor Paul Zandamela were found to be lacking.
Smith, however, told Harris that Vancouver's committee did exactly what the current policy prescribes, and "it served us well."
"Again, it wasn't my behavior — it was your behavior," Smith said.
However, Campbell, who was on the ethics committee, said he felt the way Harris' punishment was meted out was not fair.
"The process was too emotionally charged," Campbell said, noting that Harris was out of the country and unable to respond to the charges personally. "Folks were sliming us with emails — just awful, hateful emails from all over the country."
Councilor Stewart said she was "shocked" to hear Campbell say, nine months later, that Harris' treatment was unfair.
"That needed to be said during the committee process. … It needed to be said when this came before the council for a decision," Stewart said, pausing to continue.
Harris interrupted, saying, "It couldn't be (said) because of the emotion."
Campbell began to speak then, but Mayor Tim Leavitt stepped in, saying, "The past is the past. We're moving forward here."
Numerous changes
Ultimately, the council will also have to approve numerous changes in its seven-page ethics policy, approved in 1999 and unchanged since then. The proposed updated code includes changes in many sections, but the heavy focus will likely be on the section that includes city councilors' interactions with each other and the public.
Right now, the policy reads, "Council Members will at all times treat each other with respect and dignity," with no reference to citizens.
The updated code before council is much broader: "Council members shall refrain from abusive conduct, charges of a personal nature or verbal attacks upon the character or motives of other members of council, boards, commissions, committees, city staff, or the public." It does not include definitions of what a "charge of a personal nature" or a "verbal attack" is.
Harris argued that ethics and conduct should be under two separate policies, as she believes ethics are more governed by laws, whereas conduct is more subjective. She asked what would happen under the new code if Leavitt got drunk and wandered down Main Street yelling about council members. She said that wouldn't be an ethics violation, but it could be one that would violate conduct code.
City Attorney Ted Gathe said that it might not violate the new policy at all. He said that ethics and conduct overlap, and it would be difficult to separate the minimum level of ethics required by law — forbidding conflicts of interest, for example — and the higher standards of conduct included in the updated ethics code, such as prohibiting even the appearance of impropriety.
"I'm going to continue to argue that," Harris said.
"The interest I have here is to see we develop a fair and reasonable policy, where we're held to very high standards for ethics and personal conduct," Stewart said. "Ethics and a code of conduct are very closely related."

Seeing The Light
This was the first Velvet Underground/Lou Reed album I ever heard and it hit me like a ton of bricks. But in a good way. Raw rock, thoughtful lyrics, devastation, fun - it's all here and there is nothing else quite like it. Nico's unique, low voice is beautiful and unexpected on the songs she sings on, such as All Tomorrow's Parties (which is also the title of a great science fiction novel by trailblazer William Gibson). The Velvet Underground will tear a hole in your heart just to fill it.

The historic property at 9215 S.E. Evergreen Highway is in need of a cleanup.
"We are planning a work party this Saturday to clean up the area from a lot of pruning we did over the last few months," said Kelly Punteney, a state parks commissioner who lives on the land and has made it his personal mission to bring to fruition the arboretum and community garden envisioned by its late owner, dentist Vinson Weber. The property is owned by Clark College, which hasn't figured out a way to incorporate the property into its educational mission without losing money.
A chipper and two skilled operators will be on site Saturday.
"While here, you will get to see the large garden we have planned and the 60-plus tomato plants we have growing to be planted in May in the garden," Punteney wrote in an e-mail.
Work will start at 9 a.m. and finish up around 3 p.m. Punteney promises hot chicken and vegetable soups for lunch. Bring work gloves. To learn more, call 360-921-8374.

Protective Effects of B Vitamins and Antioxidants on the Risk of Arsenic-Related Skin Lesions in Bangladesh
Zablotska, Lydia B., Chen, Yu, Graziano, Joseph H., Parvez, Faruque, Geen, Alexander van, Howe, Geoffrey R., Ahsan, Habibul, Environmental Health Perspectives
BACKGROUND: An estimated 25-40 million of the 127 million people of Bangladesh have been exposed to high levels of naturally occurring arsenic from drinking groundwater. The mitigating effects of diet on arsenic-related premalignant skin lesions are largely unknown.
OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to clarify the effects of the vitamin B group (thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, pyridoxine, and cobalamin) and antioxidants (vitamins A, C, and E) on arsenicrelated skin lesions.
METHODS: We performed a cross-sectional study using baseline data from the Health Effects of Arsenic Longitudinal Study (HEALS), 2000-2002, with individual-level, time-weighted measures of arsenic exposure from drinking water. A total of 14,828 individuals meeting a set of eligibility criteria were identified among 65,876 users of all 5,996 tube wells in the 25-km (2) area of Araihazar, Bangladesh; 11,746 were recruited into the study. This analysis is based on 10,628 subjects (90.5%) with nonmissing dietary data. Skin lesions were identified according to a structured clinical protocol during screening and confirmed with further clinical review.
RESULTS: Riboflavin, pyridoxine, folic acid, and vitamins A, C, and E significantly modified risk of arsenic-related skin lesions. The deleterious effect of ingested arsenic, at a given exposure level, was significantly reduced (ranging from 46% reduction for pyridoxine to 68% for vitamin C) for persons in the highest quintiles of vitamin intake.
CONCLUSIONS: Intakes of B-vitamins and antioxidants, at doses greater than the current recommended daily amounts for the country, may reduce the risk of arsenic-related skin lesions in Bangladesh.
KEY WORDS: antioxidants, arsenic, Bangladesh, B vitamins, skin lesions. Environ Health Perspect 116:1056-1062 (2008). doi: 10.1289/ehp. 10707 available via http://dx.doi.org/ [Online 16 April 2008]
Inorganic arsenic occurring in various forms in the environment has been classified as a definite human carcinogen (group 1) since 1979 (International Agency for Research on Cancer 1980). Numerous studies conducted in Taiwan and South America found that exposure to inorganic arsenic from drinking water is associated with cancers of the bladder, kidneys, skin, and other organs and tissues (Cantor 1997; Ferreccio et al. 2000).
Similar to Taiwan, several countries in South Asia have high levels of naturally occurring arsenic in groundwater. In the early 1970s, the government of Bangladesh, with the support and financing of the United Nations Children's Fund, promoted the digging of the tube wells to provide clean drinking water. In the late 1990s, evidence indicated that the groundwater, the main source of drinking water in Bangladesh, is contaminated by naturally occurring arsenic in 59 of the 64 districts of the country. An estimated 25-40 million of Bangladesh's 127 million people have been exposed to levels frequently above the national limit of 50 ppb and often reaching levels as high as 800 ppb (British Geological Survey 2006).
Several studies have shown convincing evidence of the association between drinking arsenic-rich water and skin lesions, which are recognized as precursors of nonmelanoma skin cancer (Ahsan et al. 2006b; Guha Mazumder et al. 1998; Tondel et al. 1999). Recent studies conducted in South Asia have raised the possibility that antioxidants may modify the effects of water arsenic on the risk of skin lesions (Hsueh et al. 1995; Vahter 2000). Folate and cobalamin (vitamin [B.sub.12]) have been suggested to play an important role in the detoxification of ingested arsenic (Gamble et al. 2005b; Mitra et al. 2004; National Research Council 1999). Specifically, methylation of arsenic is a folic acid-dependent reaction catalyzed by a cobalamin-dependent enzyme (Gamble et al. 2005b; Zakharyan and Aposhian 1999). Steinmaus et al. (2005) showed that consumption of high levels of niacin (vitamin [B. …

They offer a unique loan called "Ventanillas Rurales" [Window to the Countryside], which uses a group guarantee but is an individual loan with a savings component, mostly to rural borrowers. Due to low savings rates and a history of macroeconomic instability, many traditional loans in Ecuador demand interest rates that are prohibitively high for some borrowers.

Roth Kase Sole Gran Queso
Wisconsin: a big, cold peninsula (if you count Michigan) dividing Lake Superior and Lake Michigan.
What do these two land masses have in common? Well, very little. But they are both home to some great cheese. So Roth Kase, the award-winning cheesemaker from Monroe, Wis., is determined to draw a dairy link between the two with the Gran Queso.
"Muy bueno" I say to Roth. And also, "Muchas gracias."
Like a good Manchego, the Gran Queso has a yellow-ivory paste. It's a semi-hard, cow's milk cheese, aged six months before being released. It is slightly sweet, with an extra sharp tang. The inedible rind sports a red basket-weave pattern.
PAIRINGS: Try it with a sweet wine, like Port or Madeira. If that's not your style, put it up against a robust Spanish red like an old-style Rioja (plenty of tannins). Gran Queso also melts and blends quite well, so put it on top of pasta, or in a quesadilla.

I didn't read very closely when picking it up at Safeway in Fairfax, VA - it said it was a "Spanish-style" cheese so I thought it was Spanish! I was pleased with it anyway; it was a very small piece and inexpensive, so I'm thinking of getting some more.

I'm eating this right now. It is not to salty or too sharp and has a very even flavor. I'm drinking a Fladgate 10 year tawny with it and am quite happy.

Researcher uncovers method to harvest every Gmail address
This week a security researcher by the name of Oren Hafif revealed a method for collecting every single Gmail address in existence. This method was not a hack - nor was it necessarily a bug - but with a lot of patience (or a simple computer program), a spammer could have collected all Gmail addresses ever used. Hafif's method ran for two hours and collected 37,000 addresses.

Euro-Mediterranean Summit Ends With Pledge to Fight Terrorism
Dissent between Israel, Arab statles prevented publication of a joint declaration at the Barcelona summit.
Dissent between Israel and the Arab countries yesterday on Monday prevented the publication of a final joint declaration at the Euro-Mediterranean summit in Barcelona. Nevertheless, the 35 EU, North African and Middle Eastern countries attending the summit issued a Code of Conduct on Countering Terrorism, after overcoming some of their differences.
British Prime Minister Tony Blair, who hosted the conference, said later that the code was "a very significant step forward indeed... It's as strong a statement as you can possibly have on the unified determination to fight terrorism in all its forms."
Blair had tried to draft a formal "Common Vision" statement on the EU's plan to revamp relations with countries in the area by linking aid more directly to democratic, economic and political reforms. He was forced to drop this.
Israel objected to part of the draft summary referring to the "road map," and in particular to a paragraph linking it to the 2002 Beirut declaration that was based on the Saudi Middle East peace plan and that the Arabs interpret as giving all refugees the right of return.
Israel agreed merely to a general mention of the road map and support for two national states.
In the two-page code, the Euro-Mediterranean partners reiterate their "total condemnation of terrorism in all its forms and manifestations and our determination to eradicate it." They say terrorism is a "global challenge" that requires international cooperation to stop the actions of terrorists and disrupt their networks.
Speaking to reporters, French President Jacques Chirac said the EU rallied Israel and its neighbors around such a declaration "because they too are the victims of terrorism."
Officials said one practical effect of the code's adoption will be more law enforcement cooperation across the Euro-Mediterranean area.
At the summit, the EU and Israel struggled to win Arab support for the code, arguing that terrorism can never be justified. The talks almost collapsed when Arab delegates pushed for language that effectively said those living "under foreign occupation" might legally resort to force to gain freedom - a thinly veiled reference to the Israeli presence in the West Bank.
The spat was resolved by removing a contentious section dealing with the right to self-determination and the fact that "terrorist attacks cannot be justified or legitimized by any cause or grievance."
The code that was agreed on commits the EU, Israel and its neighbors to "prevent terrorists accessing money and weapons, to disrupt their plans and disrupt their networks and to bring them to justice by strengthening international cooperation."
It adds that the response to terrorism must be "proportionate and solidly anchored within international and domestic legal frameworks that ensure respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms."
During the conference, Deputy Prime Minister Ehud Olmert met with Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas, the new German chancellor, Angela Merkel, Chirac, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Egyptian Prime Minister Ahmed Nazif and the foreign ministers of Britain, Holland, Austria, Turkey and Egypt.
Olmert stressed that Israel had taken "the biggest step" in the Middle East by disengaging from the Gaza Strip and that it was now the turn of the Palestinians to begin fighting terrorism.
Responding to a call for dialogue from Syrian Foreign Minister Farouk Shara, Olmert said: "What dialogue is he referring to? Every time I spoke, he left the hall."

Files in Ubuntu??
January 28th, 2012, 10:39 AM
How do you get rid of these files in Ubuntu?
January 28th, 2012, 10:42 AM
Does clicking on them and deleting them not work? What are they from?
January 28th, 2012, 10:46 AM
Right click and "move to rubbish bin/move to trash"? Are they from a wine program? lot's of windows programs create desktop icons by default, have a look in "/home/user/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files" and see if there's something you didn't mean to install?
Hope it helps :)
January 28th, 2012, 10:56 AM
Yes, they are a Wine program. So the jist is getting them to the recycle bin? Does this actually move them off of the desktop?
January 28th, 2012, 11:04 AM
So...deleting them does not work? What's the problem?
January 28th, 2012, 11:06 AM
No, I just want to completely remove them. The reference is still there.
January 28th, 2012, 11:08 AM
Are they the only things on the desktop? If so, open a terminal and run this command:
rm -f Desktop/*
Although as always, I would recommend caution with rm.
January 28th, 2012, 11:19 AM
When you say the reference is still there.. do you mean you want to delete the programs they link to? desktop icons are just links to software... as for getting rid of the links themselves.. MG&TL's got you covered :)
Deleting programs from wine should be done with the uninstaller tool.
upen a terminal and enter
wine uninstaller and select what you would like to remove... if you some reason this doesn't work, the brute force option is to go the wine program files directory and remove the program like any other stubborn directory with
sudo rm -rf directoryname (be SURE to get the right one :| and NEVER use a wildcard such as * with rm -rf - just too much scope for error ;) )
Hope it helps :)
January 28th, 2012, 11:28 AM
MG&TL's got you covered :smile:
Deleting programs from wine should be done with the uninstaller tool.
I don't mind to sound so stupid, but where is this file?
January 28th, 2012, 11:36 AM
The wine uninstaller program? I don't know where it's stored on the disk, but you can start it either by typing "wine" into the dash search-box and clicking on "uninstall wine software" or by opening up a terminal as above and pasting in "wine uninstaller".
Is this what you meant? :)
January 28th, 2012, 03:14 PM
I am assuming that you are using 11.10 so open the Dash and type wine. You will see an icon called Uninstall Wine Software. It will produce a window called Add/Remove programs. You should see a list of programs that you installed through wine.
January 28th, 2012, 04:43 PM
Got it! Thank you so much for the Wine instruction.

These freeze very well. I have also made these into muffins instead of the loaves.
Enjoyable, but a bit sweet, I might try to use at least 1/4 less sugar next time. Watch your cooking time - I used regular metal pans (not dark non-stick) that were the right size, and it only took 45-50 min. to cook. (my oven is fine for other recipes)

Agnihotra on Gokceada Island, Turkey
Submitted by reiner on Mon, 09/13/2010 - 14:43
Back in Turkey, Manuela and I visited the most western corner of Gokceada Island (old Greek Island Imbros). Gokhan and Burcu Ilhan live here and heal the atmosphere with Agnihotra.
Manuela guided the women's healing circle at Ecological Center Camtepe. Every woman shared some stories and dreams, handicrafts and art. This occasion was also used to share alternative healing methods such as Agnihotra healing and Homeopathy.

Updates for Tuesday, the 28th of July, 2015:
- Why I've Been Quiet
- A Book Synopsis
- On Reputation
- An Apology
- I Disagree
- Further Absence
I know I haven't posted or done much in the first half of the year. My apologies for that. I have been in therapy for over two years now, and progress is a bit slow. I guess that's partly my fault; I'll own my mistakes and poor choices. It's just a struggle because I suffer under a powerful belief that I'm worthless or some kind of screw-up. Part of the reason I'm still unemployed. So, it's hard not to blame myself for every crappy thing that happens in my life. Or be easy on my heart when it is my fault.
I'll do what I can to stay in contact and update people on my progress, but please understand if I keep the more intimate details private. I need to share them with people who I can trust not to backstab me, or at least in places where the public can't easily access them. I will make enemies once my writing career takes off, so I have to take precautions. This is nothing personal against anyone here. My closer friends are free to ask for details (provided I'm not tired of repeating myself, which is part of the reason for this journal). Everyone else will just have to settle for what I share in public postings. Part of being a professional, really. Might have to delete past journals if they become a problem.
All my Christian brethren are free to pray for me. Everyone else should stick to well-wishes. Paranoid, perhaps, but I'm not taking chances with a war going on. If you're unsure, just pray that the God of the Bible will speak into my life, whether I want to hear from him or not! I could really use his voice at this time of my life.
I'm writing a book! Probably closer to a novella in length, yet it's a book. Here's a synopsis.
Darcy isn't sure she wants to get back into the ring after her disastrous professional debut years ago. But her manager has convinced her to join a tournament being held to demonstrate a new technology meant to help save fighters from injury and death. Within the first fight, her dream of being a champion boxer are rekindled and she becomes eager to come out on top.
But a fighter's life is more than throwing punches, and as the tournament continues, Darcy faces doubt from both without and within. Can she make her dream come true? Or will she succumb to the wounds of her past?
Hope that catches your interest. I've almost got the first draft done, though I kinda fell off the horse for a while. Once it's done, I'll have to begin the long process of rewriting it. I wouldn't expect it to be out until next year, though I'll be doing all I can to bump the release date up. I'll have to throw a party when it's done.
I'm looking forward to having it done! Just gotta keep pushing and I'll be published! Yay!
I have a problem.
When I posted my various accounts on a forum, the fact that I'm on Inkbunny raised a few eyebrows. The website has a reputation. It pretty much was started as a response to Fur Affinity banning cub porn, as sort of a place for the "cub lovers" to gather after their exile (which was pretty much self-imposed, 'cause there's more to FA than cub porn), and continue to create and share their particular... fetish.
Can't say I feel that sorry for them. The stuff still gives me the creeps. And the more violent cub porn makes me want to "hoist the black flag and begin slitting throats." Papa Wolf don't take kindly to people who hurt children.
The problem is I need to think of my reputation. Yes, I like Inkbunny's tag system. I rather wish FA would steal and use it. I could block porn and let violent images through (blood and gore don't bother me that much, so long as it's not being sexualized or glorified), which I'm doing on Inkbunny right now. And I can also block things like diapers and violence against cubs in a way that they might as well not exist. It makes life a bit easier.
Yet I don't think I want that guilt by association. Yeah, it's unfair in many ways. I'm not into cub porn or even a lot of cub art (even the clean stuff seems off sometimes), yet how would people know that? Even if they don't assume I'm the sort to create or (ugh!) "enjoy" that stuff, they might assume that I'm okay with it existing. And I'm not. Much as I like not having to see it, it gives me pause. Because this problem isn't limited to Inkbunny or to cub porn. There's a lot in the furry fandom that I'm not okay with. Chief of which is the focus on porn. I know one furry artist made the point in a comic once. Anthropomorphic animals hold so much potential for just about anything; we even have people making races for tabletop RPGs.
And yet the furry fandom seems focused on taking these unique creatures, tearing off their clothes, and then mushing them together in various positions. It's like watching someone do the same with Ken and Barbie dolls, with the occasional superhero action figure thrown in for when they wanna get kinky.
I don't want that associated with my work. It's why I don't post erotica, and why I haven't written any in a long while. I don't want that reputation. Yet if I continue to stick my work on furry sites, am I not inviting people to make assumptions about me? Even if it's just the assumption that I'm okay with everything on that site?
Inkbunny's really the only one that really pushes the issue. At worst, FA doesn't offer filtering through tags, and you get the occasional submission with the wrong rating. SoFurry is geared more toward writers, and it probably has similar problems to FA, though I think they have some tag filtering. And Deviant Art isn't really a "furry" site, though there's plenty you could object to on there as well. But InkBunny is known for cub porn, and that might never go away. And I have to take that into consideration. Even if their in-browser reader is pretty good.
Plus, I can't change these things by myself. I'm too small and inconsequential. Maybe later on my writings, whether it's fiction or essays, I can have the clout to influence the furry fandom toward what I feel is a healthier direction. Right now? Best that I make the right decisions for my career. And I only joined Inkbunny because of someone that I might have been crushing on a bit (even if it was more of a "notice me senpai" kind of crush), and that crush is now dead. I have to think on what I need to do for my career, whether I need to leave Inkbunny or not.
In the end though, I think the real answer is a website of my own. Many authors do this; heck, all my favorites seem to. Except the dead ones, of course (and that's because I haven't gone looking). So, I need to get my own someday soon. It solves the reputation problem as I can control the content on it, and don't have to share room with stuff I find morally reprehensible. Cub porn, rape, snuff, all that stuff, it just won't be there. And while the server I end up on might have some "icky" stuff on it, you won't find it on my site. Not that people will find everything I write or create to be comfortable or enjoyable, but the things I don't want to be associated with will be removed from my work. You'd have to go looking for it to find it, and it won't be right next to my stuff.
So, we'll see. Those following me on Inkbunny, I apologize if I leave you. I have to do what's right for my career. And I don't think that site is something worth fighting for. Maybe if things change, I'll consider returning. Just don't hold your breath.
I have done wrong to many people. I have said and done things I should not have. I have left undone or unsaid things that should have been done or said. I have no excuse. I will only reject the blame for the things that are not my fault, whatever that might be. Even so, I know that I have hurt people, and for that I am sorry.
For the people I have seduced and the hearts I've broken, I am sorry.
For the times I have put being right before loving others, I am sorry.
For lashing out in frustration when I lose an argument, I am sorry.
For using my wounds and fears as an excuse not to help my friends, I am sorry.
For my arrogance in times good and bad, I am sorry.
For focusing too much on myself, I am sorry.
For not aiding a Brother or Sister in Christ when they needed me, I am sorry.
For condemning others to hell just becasuse they seem insistent on walking that direction, I am sorry.
For unfair judgment, I am sorry.
For the young men who needed direction I did not give, I am sorry.
For the women I treated more like objects than people, I am sorry.
For trading love for sex, or the reverse, I am sorry.
For being a "Peter Pan" instead of an adult, I am sorry.
For being unkind to myself, I am sorry.
For not believing what God has said to me, I am sorry.
For all I have done wrong, I am sorry.
I hope those I've wronged can forgive me. I pray for the strength to forgive those who've wronged me. And I also pray for the strength to forgive myself. Let God's healing flow into my heart and into those around me. Let me be a true follower of Christ, no matter the cost.
Forgive me, please. I am not perfect. I am wounded. And it will take a while to fix it all.
And I will do my best to treat you the same.
"I disagree."
Those are words often used in conversations on controversial matters. Yet in recent years, I've noticed that these words invite the worst accusations from the opposition. It seems a more common occurance when someone disagrees with certain groups on the extreme political left in America. Perhaps my bias is showing, or there's just been a very vocal minority on that side ("Social Justice Warrior" has become a buzz word within the last year), yet that it happens at all is a cause for concern. More so when there's also ad hominem attacks and doxxing being used as dirty tactics to silence opposition.
But there's more than one controversial issue out there, and often more than one or two sides. And just because you get along well with someone doesn't mean they agree with you on everything.
So, let me be clear here: On certain religious and political matters, I will disagree with you. This does not, in fact, make me a horrible person, nor does it mean that I hate or fear a certain group or race. I have come to my beliefs through discussion and careful thought. While I can't claim they are infallible or totally correct, I'm not going to drop them just because someone doesn't like them. I can be stubborn, yes. But I am not beyond correction. Talk to me. Argue with me. If there's anything worth learning from you, I won't fail to remember it, and you might change my views on things. But if you yell at or bully me, you'll only succeed in silencing me, if that. I may just block you and move along.
You do yourself no favor by pushing your beliefs on me. I maintain that I have the right to disagree, regardless of what any court here on earth may say. I won't leave the country and I won't accept your views just because you bully me. If I'm persecuted for what I believe, I will ask God what to stand for and what to let go. Some things are worth the fight. Some are not. And I'm not meant to fight every battle on every issue. I have a purpose, and it's not to kowtow to every man or woman with a stick up their rear. You have no right to define me, unless you are God.
And if you're not God and do it anyway, I will give you into his hands. It seems the only right thing to do.
I disagree. If you don't like that, get over it. I have to do the same with celebrities I like every day.
On Thursday, the 30th of July 2015, around 1:00 PM (13:00) Central Time, I will be making a huge change in my life. Suffice to say, I won't have access to internet for a while. How long it will last, I don't know. If you need to contact me, please call or text me. If you don't have my number, you have until the above date and time to acquire it. If I don't give it to you, please trust that I have my reasons and it's not necessarily anything personal. I just prefer people I know and am close to.
It's going to be a big disruption. I may try to stay in contact with my Sunchasers group as I don't want to leave them in the lurch, but otherwise I'm not going to be around. I'm sorry if this causes problems to anyone, but this may be the only way I can beat my addictions and restructure my life into something better. The alternative is to stay in the rut and make half-hearted measures at change. And the longer I permit these behaviors to continue, the greater effect they will have on my character. I don't really want to become a bigger stereotype than I already am.
And who knows? Maybe when I get back, I'll be out of my parents' house, working again, and be that much closer to my dream of being published.
I'll see you all again soon, I hope. God bless and take care of yourselves.

Ukraine's post-Maidan authorities have embarked upon an ambitious reform programme to improve the country's framework for investment and strengthen the country as an attractive investment destination. This review, which was prepared in close cooperation with the Ukrainian authorities in response to their 2011 request to adhere to the Declaration on International Investment and Multinational Enterprises (OECD Declaration), analyses the general investment framework as well as recent reform, and shows where further efforts are necessary. It assesses Ukraine's ability to comply with the principles of openness, transparency and non-discrimination and its policy convergence with international investment standards such as the OECD Declaration. In light of the recently updated OECD Policy Framework for Investment, it also studies other areas such as investment promotion and facilitation, infrastructure development; financial sector development and responsible business conduct practices. In the scarcely two years since a new attempt at economic reforms was launched in earnest, Ukraine has made quite important progress in introducing a modern legal framework for investment. But additional efforts are required in some policy areas to reaffirm Ukraine's attractiveness for investors.
The 2016 edition looks at past over-investment in certain sectors, the reversal of the commodity "supercycle"; the implications of low interest rates for corporate and institutional investors; the productivity performance of companies; the profitability of clean energy projects; the fiscal incentives for R&D and innovation.
Kazakhstan's competition system underwent a peer review of its law and regulation at the 2015 Global Forum on Competition on 29-30 October 2015. The report was launched in Astana on 25 May 2016 and provides a throught insight into the current strenghts and weakness of the Kazakhstan competition regime.
This brochure looks at the corruption, labour, human rights and environmental risks associated with the organisation of large sporting events. It describes how OECD instruments and expertise in implementation of complex projects can help host governments, event organisers and their business partners ensure that the world of sport remains associated with the traditional values of excellence and fair play.
This review assesses the overall investment climate in the Philippines, looking at investment policy, investment promotion and facilitation, competition policy, infrastructure investment and responsible business conduct. The Review documents successful reform episodes over the past 25 years in the Philippines, assesses their impact and suggests areas for further reforms. It looks at how to raise investment levels by both foreign and domestic enterprises and at how to ensure that such investment contributes to sustainable and inclusive growth. The current macroeconomic situation in the Philippines is favourable, remittances are high, the business process outsource industry is booming, and the new Competition Act will help to make the domestic market more competitive. The Review argues for one further reform push to ease the many restrictions on foreign investors in the Philippines so as to provide an investment climate where all firms can invest and grow.
This book provides a comprehensive assessment of the innovation policy of Luxembourg. It is the second such OECD review of Luxembourg's innovation system, following an earlier review published in 2007. Since that time, the system has undergone profound change, notably a rapid expansion in the scale and scope of public sector research, which offers new opportunities for Luxembourg, but also new challenges for innovation policy. The review focuses on the role of government and includes concrete recommendations on how to improve policies that affect innovation and R&D performance.
The Toolkit helps governments to eliminate barriers to competition by providing a method for identifying unnecessary restraints on market activities and developing alternative, less restrictive measures that still achieve government policy objectives.
I am delighted to co-host this event on competition as a tool for helping markets to perform better. Today, I will share with you some of the highlights from the OECD's joint work with the World Bank to promote effective competition policies in pursuit of stronger, more inclusive, economic growth.
The Romanian government and the OECD are working together to assess the costs and benefits of regulations restricting competition in the food processing, transport and construction sectors and to propose specific recommendations for change.
The 2016 OECD-IDB Latin American Competition Forum takes place in Mexico City, on 12-13 April. Discussions will focus on disruptive innovation, leniency programmes and promoting effective competition in public procurement.

text: Professor Martin Rowe PhD, FSB Institute of Cancer and Genomic SciencesProfessor of Tumour Virology Contact details Telephone+44 (0) 121 414 7144 firstname.lastname@example.com AddressInstitute of Cancer and Genomic Sciences Martin Rowe is Professor of Tumour Virology and heads the Viral Oncology Research Theme within the College of Medical and Dental Sciences. Martin has published more than 160 research papers in scientific journals as well as reviews and book chapters in the fields of virology, cancer and tumour immunology. He has received major grants from Cancer Research UK, Leukaemia Lymphoma Research, the Wellcome Trust and the Medical Research Council. Qualifications PhD Immunology 1980 BSc (Hons) Biochemistry 1976 Biography Martin Rowe graduated with a BSc (Hons) in Biochemistry from London University in 1976. He went on to study for a PhD in Immunology at the MRC Clinical Research Centre at Northwick Park Hospital before taking up his first Postdoctoral position in 1979 with Professor Anthony Epstein in Bristol. This marked the start of Martin's research on the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). Martin first moved to Birmingham in 1984, joining the new Institute of Cancer Studies. Following a year at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Martin became one of the first recipients of the new Wellcome Trust Senior Research Fellowship in Basic Biomedical Sciences. In 1995 Martin relocated from Birmingham to the Wales College of Medicine in Cardiff as Professor of Cell Biology; this period included 5 years as Head of the Department of Infection & Immunity. Finally, in 2005 Martin returned once more to Birmingham to a Chair of Tumour Virology, where he has re-established an active research group continuing his work on EBV. Teaching Postgraduate supervision Martin has supervised 16 non-clinical PhD students and 3 Clinical Research Training Fellows studying for PhD. Research Research Themes Viral Oncology, Tumour Immunology Research Activity Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) The consistent themes of Martin's research since 1980 has been the role of EBV in pathogenesis of lymphoma, and the mechanisms by which this pathogen is normally carried for life as an asymptomatic infection by the vast majority of adults worldwide. Most recently, his work has included a more translational element with the aim of applying the acquired knowledge of EBV biology and pathogenesis to the design of rational therapies. Much of the Rowe-group's earlier work was focused on the virus-host interactions with B lymphocytes, in which the virus establishes latent infection in the persistent infected host. This work laid the foundations for understanding of the pathogenesis of Burkitt's lymphoma, Hodgkin's lymphoma and lymphomas of immunosuppressed patients. More recently, the group has also been investigating EBV-associated lymphomas of NK cell and T cell origin. Key research achievements include: First identification of a restricted pattern of latent gene expression in an Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) associated malignancies Demonstration that the viral and cellular phenotype combine to evade immune responses in an EBV-associated tumour, Burkitt's lymphoma. The role of the EBV oncogene product, LMP1, in regulating cell survival and antigen presentation Structure-function analysis of LMP1, resulting in the first identification of two functional domains of the molecule responsible for signal transduction via NF-κB. Identification and characterisation of mechanisms by which EBV interferes with antigen presentation during lytic cycle The identification of novel LMP2A transcripts encoding targets for immunotherapy Martin's work is highly cited, with an average of around 83 citations per article (ResearcherID B-2880-2009) Publications Fox CP, Shannon-Lowe C, Rowe M (2011) Deciphering the role of Epstein-Barr virus in the pathogenesis of T and NK cell lymphoproliferations.

Long-term forecast getting cold shoulder
The Journal Gazette (Fort Wayne)
"We're using a very strong four-letter word to describe this winter, which is C-O-L-D. It's going to be very cold," Farmers' Almanac Managing Editor Sandi Duncan recently told The Associated Press.
"The Almanac," AP reported, "is also describing the coming winter as 'piercing cold' and 'biting cold?'"
Just a guess, you say. They could be completely off-base.
Except that story was written in August 2013 about the Almanac's predictions for last winter.
So it might be worth paying attention to the predictions for the coming winter that the Farmers' Almanac released last week. Using its secret recipe for long-range forecasts, the 198-year-old Almanac warns that things will be colder and wetter than normal this winter.
"Shivery and shovelry are back," Duncan said. That sentence is not only ominous but hard to say.
A Ball State geography professor, Petra Zimmermann, noted that the Farmers' Almanac also was completely wrong a couple of years ago and recommended that such predictions be viewed solely as entertainment.
Whichever forecast you believe in, you've been warned.
It's time for Hoosiers to truly ban smoking
Kokomo Tribune
In January 2012, anti-smoking advocates were touting the results of a just-completed poll — and hoping the Indiana General Assembly would pass a statewide workplace smoking ban.
According to that poll of 500 Hoosiers, 70 percent of Indiana voters supported a law that would prohibit smoking in indoor workplaces and public facilities, including restaurants and bars.
"Voters know that secondhand smoke is a health hazard, and this poll shows that they want a strong law," said Danielle Patterson, the co-chairman of the Indiana Campaign for Smokefree Air. "The Legislature should listen to the people of Indiana."
Lawmakers did — and didn't. Then-Gov. Mitch Daniels signed a bill restricting smoking, a first for the state. But the law exempted bars, casinos, retail tobacco shops and private clubs, such as veterans and fraternal organizations.
The Kokomo Common Council recently moved to correct that legislative mistake and passed to second read an amendment to its own smoking "ban" of 2006. The amendment would include all bars, taverns and social clubs under the existing ordinance that prohibits smoking in public buildings — and ban the use of e-cigarettes in such facilities.
The amendment passed by the slimmest of margins — 5 to 4. If it passes again during Monday's council meeting, Kokomo truly will become smoke-free.
It's time for a citywide smoking ban and one in Howard County — no exceptions.
Ice Bucket Challenge has had quite a ride
Sun Herald (Biloxi, Miss.)
Over the course of a summer it has become an internet sensation and raised millions (close to $100 million according to alsa.org) for research into amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, better known as Lou Gehrig's disease.
We are heartened that a country that claims to be as divided as the United States has found a reason to pull together. For that alone, the folks at the ALS Association have earned our gratitude.
Who would have believed that tens of thousands would make videos of themselves as they are hit with a bucket of ice water? It has been marketing genius.
But there is nothing like success to attract critics. Some note that Californians in the middle of a drought can't afford to waste water. We agree. They shouldn't. But you don't have to get wet to donate.
Accept the challenge with care. The ice water will be enough of a rush without adding any dangerous twists, such as dropping the bucket from high above. And if you have a medical condition that could be aggravated by a sudden drop in temperature, hold the ice water and just donate. But most of all, let's keep this spirit alive.
ISIS a deadly menace that must be stopped
Capital-Journal (Topeka, Kan.)
A recent attack on a mosque in Iraq and the subsequent fallout is indicative of the problems the United States, its allies and the Iraqi people will have as they try to eliminate the threat posed by the radical Islamists of ISIS — the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria.
The Associated Press reported that at least 64 people were killed in the attack on a Sunni mosque.
The U.S. is providing air support and weapons to Kurdish forces in Iraq, but President Barack Obama has said he won't put "boots on the ground" (U.S. combat forces) there, which is wise. But Kurdish forces, even with support from the U.S. and its allies, can't do the job alone. And there is little indication other countries are willing to supply ground forces.
David Ignatius, a columnist with the Washington Post Writers Group, has suggested Obama send retired general David Petraeus and former ambassador Ryan Crocker to Iraq as his special envoys because of their knowledge of and experience in the country. The two might be able to advise all forces facing ISIS on the best course of action.
There are no easy answers, but it is easy to see the rest of the world has a stake in the defeat of ISIS. It is a situation that clearly demands leadership from somewhere.

Arla UnikaOutstanding range of dairy products based on the Nordic nature and terroire. Discover the tremendous potential hidden in the tradition of Nordic gastronomy.
Flagship store
Arla asked us to develop a flagship store in Torvehallerne - Copenhagen's new deli food hall - and create a new dairy brand to be sold exclusively there. For ten years Arla has had an innovation project called Unika Arla, which develops unique cheeses inspired by Nordic nature and wildlife. After conducting intensive interviews with the leadership team it was decided to make this range of cheeses the hero of the new flagship store.
Authentic not sentimental
One of the first things we did was to interview the dairy masters responsible for the Unika cheese series. What struck us was the incredibly geeky passion, as well as the unsentimental approach, that they had towards their trade. It is about reaching the best result. Nothing else matters. If a cheese tastes better when shaped by a linen cloth, then that is what you do. That became our starting point for everything from visual identity to store design and tone of voice. With respect to the store, this meant that the choice of materials had to be unpretentious, authentic and have a tactile feel, without getting over-romantic. Materials such as slate are therefore an important part of the design. This is also reflected in the logo, which achieves a fine balance between being straightforward on one hand and on the other hand, personal and welcoming.
A for excellence
Kontrapunkt has been responsible for everything from strategy, visual identity, communication concept and copywriting to design of the flagship store. The new identity for Unika Arla has been rolled out on bags, signs, labels and promotional material about the store and the products. We've also developed a spin-off brand to Unika called "A", which features products that are of the highest quality but aren't part of the Unika innovation project.

The Top 10 Most Hackable Passwords
When cash machines first came out, a lot of people were guilty of setting up personal identification numbers that were as simple as 1-2-3. Literally. Or if the machine required a six-digit identification number, the user would just add three more numbers and make it 1-2-3-4-5-6.
It may sound stupid and funny, but there were people who really did not bother coming up with more creative combination of numbers. Even when they did, they would make use of obvious combinations, like the date of their birthdays or anniversaries.
With the further advancement of technology, computers and emails became common and necessary parts of our lives. These would require passwords as well, but this time, instead of simple identification numbers, people could make use of letters in the alphabet, punctuation, or any combination of letters, numbers and punctuation. The importance of these passwords cannot be overstated, as computers usually contain practically all the pertinent information of our lives, from work materials to credit card numbers and other personal details.
As a result, hacking has become a full-fledged industry, with hackers trying to infiltrate computers, emails and networks in order to obtain information that can then be used for illegal activities. Credit card and cash machine details can be used to allow these thieves to purchase items from online stores. Hacking into emails allows them to contact your friends and acquaintances, which some use to solicit "help" in the guise that you are in trouble. Even famous celebrities have not been immune, with actresses like Scarlett Johansson having their intimate and private pictures getting stolen and posted online.
So what should you do to prevent these occurrences? First of all, do not share your password with anyone else. That password is yours and yours alone and you should be the only one who should know about it. Second, do not write down your password and worse, leave it just lying around somewhere. A lot of people are guilty of this, with some even jotting it down on post-it notes and sticking it to the computer screen.
Lastly, be creative when setting up your password. The number of combinations of characters that can be used is practically unlimited, so do not confine yourself to something expected and common. Particularly, you should avoid the top 10 most hackable passwords, as determined by a study made by the Internet search giant Google.
10. Having the word "password" as your password
You may think it is cute and funny, but the problem is you are far from unique. There are millions of other users who think the same way too. A password does not even have to be an actual word, but to use something as obvious as "password" as your password is simply unforgivable. You could have used the character @ to replace a, and the number zero to replace the letter o, but even those replacements are too predictable for hackers. Try something better, and better yet, try harder.
