World Bulletin / News Desk
Turkish Minister of Agriculture, Food and Animal Breeding, Mehdi Eker, has said that field-based support payments to hazelnut producers would continue to be given in 2012 and it was about to signed by the cabinet.
Inaugurating Anadolu Agency's (AA) photo exhibition "Hard-gotten hazelnuts" with Executive Board Chairman and Director General Kemal Ozturk in Ankara on Wednesday, Eker said that the exhibition made an important contribution to the art of photography via one of the most important agricultural products of Turkey.
Eker said that the exhibition was an outcome of an intensive, massive and a very difficult endeavour and thanked the photo journalists who reflected the cheer, sadness and excitement of the hazelnut pickers, including the ones coming from southeastern Turkey as seasonal labor force, with a great success.
Minister Eker suggested tea as the subject of the next thematic AA photo exhibition.
Stating that Turkey provided 75-80 percent of world's hazelnuts exportation, Eker said that hazelnut was an important element of Turkish culture, taking place in literature, arts, poems, music and folklore.

Looking for a new slave or slaves to be collared.
I created this group to find females that have a burning aching desire to become my property. A little about myself I am a caring master well educated in Bdsm, slavery, torture, and slave training. Also, I will help anyone who has questions or topics about the lifestyle. The best way to reach me is on kik @ DangerousDrose. I am always willing to take on a new challenge and create new bonds. Slaves should know to be on their knees with their legs spread, hands on their head, feet tucked under them, withered their back arched and those titties better be on display.

I am looking for the perfect, long term slave, serious onlySubmitted by humblemaster69 on Thu, 01/28/2016 - 07:14
So I've posted several times on here. No luck so far, but I will not give up. So I'll start by telling you what I am NOT looking for. I'm not looking for anyone that will disappear after a short exchange. One might say, well maybe you didn't hit it off with each other, but we've all been there and can tell when there is no chemistry or when someone seems to drop off the face of the earth. I am also not looking for anyone who feels the need to come across sexy or kinky. There is a time and a place for everything and when all you can talk about is how wet your pussy is...well...

A McSweeney's Books
Q&A with Diane Williams,
author of Vicky Swanky
Is a Beauty.
BY McSWEENEY'S BOOKS
The first time I encountered Diane Williams's sentences, my heart started pounding and a prickling started up at the hairs on the back of my neck. A story by Diane Williams is unmistakeable. Her characters' roiling glee and despair, their desires and fears, are rendered with such hairline precision that the reader can sense whole consciousnesses—or unconsciousnesses—pulsing under every sentence. Through her own work, as well as her years as an editor (first at StoryQuarterly, and now as the founding editor of NOON), Williams has distinguished herself as one of our strongest masters of the short form. Her newest collection, Vicky Swanky Is a Beauty, is available now.
— Andi Mudd, managing editor of The Believer.
McSWEENEY'S: Your stories are frequently very, very funny. Do you want to make your readers laugh for any reason beyond the simple joy of it?
WILLIAMS: They're funny. Good to hear you say that. Well, I think they're funny. Comedy trumps tragedy, doesn't it?—if it could only serve as a way of life. The simple joy of laughing is not so simple.
McSWEENEY'S: There is a picture-book quality to your stories, particularly in their fine and thorough descriptions of food and objects and animals—the kind of descriptions I remember from the very first books that were read to me, the ones I knew by memory before I could read them myself. You've talked about having written for children in the past, and I wonder if you intend this connection or if it is a product of your goals for a text.
WILLIAMS: Oh, that's a consoling memory—being read to as a child. Although, far, far back—I remember not understanding a word of it. Nonetheless, I entered a trance—aware enough of my strong desire: I don't want to fall asleep while you are giving me so much attention.
My foremost concerns, then and now: Don't fall asleep. Stay alert and… I wish I could be very interested in anything.
I hope such goals for myself transfer, for the reader's benefit, into the fiction I produce.
McSWEENEY'S: You and your colleagues at NOON are always pushing at the edges of contemporary literature with the serious and strenuous work you publish, but your own work can also feel elemental to the point of timelessness. Do you tend to think of your work in relation to that of your contemporaries?
WILLIAMS: Of course, I think of my work in relation to my contemporaries. I publish the fiction of many of my distinguished contemporaries, that I, too, would call timeless and elemental. But I don't think of their fiction in the moment when I struggle with my own because of those painful distractions—competition and envy. It's best to keep dead heroes at hand instead—Spinoza, for example, and his propositions, or Carl Gustav Jung interviews—or an array of myths and legends.
Elemental and timeless. You are very generous when you say this about my work. I can only pray it might sometimes be true. What are the features of such texts? Moral ambiguity? Complexity? Brave probes into the mysteries. Robert Alter, for one, has written persuasively on this subject.
McSWEENEY'S: Did you have different intentions or hopes for Vicky Swanky Is a Beauty than you did for your other books?
WILLIAMS: Different intentions? Hopes? No, I didn't have different intentions or hopes for this book. I have only one compelling intention —I must make valuable use of my time! Try, try, try!

Monica sang her heart out on "Still Standing" and her talent spoke for itself.
The hometown singer is now up for two Grammy for awards, including Best R&B Album for "Still Standing" and Best Female R&B Vocal Performance for the song "Everything to Me," from the album.
[CLICK HERE to view full list of 2011 Grammy Nominees]
Mo, who is newly engaged to Lakers baller Shannon Brown, said that although she was happy to be a stay at home mom, this nomination confirms she's on the road to a comeback:
"I wasn't expecting anything from this album other than me to reconnect with the fans, so it was just an honor to be thought of by your peers and the Grammy Association.
It's just that confirmation that I needed that this is where I'm supposed to be at this point in my life, because I was very happy with being a stay-at-home mom.
So, to come back after such a long hiatus, it's just a good feeling, and I'm still in shock. Nothing's really set in."

text: News State oversight of Benton Harbor ends after six years By The Associated Press • 8 minutes ago Lindsey Smith / Michigan Radio The state has fully relinquished oversight of Benton Harbor, six years after the city was placed under emergency management to address a budget deficit. Friday's decision followed a recommendation from a state-appointed receivership transition advisory board. The southwestern Michigan city will manage operations and finances without oversight. City council ordinances no longer need approval of the board that was appointed in 2014 once emergency management ended. Both Gov. Rick Snyder and former Gov. Jennifer Granholm appointed emergency managers in Benton Harbor. Why it's important that doctors know about patients' military experience By Stateside Staff • 13 minutes ago Flickr user RAY TYLER IMAGES/Flickr / HTTP://J.MP/1SPGCL0 Listen Listening... / 7:30 Our conversation with Monica Lypson and Paula Thompson Ross While personnel are still in the military, the doctors they see understand their experiences in combat, or in other situations, might mean they have certain healthcare issues. Once veterans are out of the military, though, their private physicians might not even think to ask if they've served. That's an oversight one doctor is working to correct. Michigan's Fire Marshal says take "extreme caution" with fireworks due to dry conditions By Stateside Staff • 59 minutes ago Flickr user pcurtner/Flickr / HTTP://J.MP/1SPGCL0 Listen Listening... / 4:27 Our interview with Fire Marshal Secontine. For most of Michigan, this has been one of the driest starts to summer we've seen in a long time. With Fourth of July coming up, there are concerns about fires in these dry conditions. For this reason, Julie Secontine, the State Fire Marshal, has been considering banning fireworks this Fourth of July. As of now, no burn ban or fireworks ban has been issued. Group says state leaves federal money for low-income people on the table By Stateside Staff • 1 hour ago Flickr user Liz West / Flickr / HTTP://J.MP/1SPGCL0 An advocacy group for low-income people has been going over the new state budget. The Michigan League for Public Policy (MLPP) found some good things in the budget, and a whole lot of federal money left on the table. Gilda Jacobs, president and CEO of the MLPP, started with the good things: Does education budget run afoul of Michigan Constitution? By Stateside Staff • 1 hour ago wikimedia user motown31 / http://michrad.io/1LXrdJM Governor Rick Snyder has approved an education budget which includes $2.5 million for private and religious schools. That seems to be incongruent with the Michigan Constitution, which states: Free speech clashes with safe spaces on college campuses By Stateside Staff • 1 hour ago HTTP://J.MP/1SPGCL0 A group says free speech is threatened on college campuses. FIRE, the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, rates colleges and universities based on how they restrict free speech. Its mission is "to defend and sustain individual rights at America's colleges and universities." That includes protecting freedom of speech, freedom of the press, due process and more. Shelby Emmett, Legal and Legislative Policy Advocate for FIRE, said she views the group as an "empowerment organization for students." Gov. Snyder vetos road bill, cities will continue to pay part of the bill By Mark Brush • 1 hour ago Lindsey Smith / Michigan Radio Gov. Rick Snyder today vetoed a road funding bill aimed at giving some relief to cities. Right now, cities with more than 25,000 people have to share the costs of nearby state trunk line road construction projects. Senate Bill 557 sought to end that practice. It passed both the state House and Senate with big majorities. Law extending breaks on delinquent property taxes expires By Sarah Cwiek • 1 hour ago Wayne County Some breaks for Michigan homeowners struggling to pay property taxes have expired. Governor Snyder signed laws in 2015 that reduced interest and other penalties on delinquent taxes. They also reduced back taxes for some homeowners who owed much more than their properties were worth. That was largely meant for Wayne County, and especially Detroit, where tens of thousands of properties enter the tax foreclosure process every year. Giving adults with autism a shot at a job By Stateside Staff • 1 hour ago Flickr user Jesús Corrius/Flickr / HTTP://J.MP/1SPGCL0 Adults with autism often face a life of unemployment despite the fact that many are brilliant and have exceptional skills. The Autism Alliance of Michigan is encouraging employers to hire potential workers with autism, taking advantage of their skills while making considerations to accommodate the challenges people with autism face. Steven Glowacki has an IQ of 150, scored a 1520 on the SAT and placed in the 95th percentile for a Certified Public Accountant test. The bottom line? He's pretty darn smart. Cobbler philosophy: "If the shoe fits, repair it" By Lester Graham • 5 hours ago Lester Graham / Michigan Radio This is the first in a series on Stateside we're calling Artisans of Michigan. Our first stop in this trip around Michigan is in downtown Northville at the Cobbler's Corner. "Shoe repairing is a lot more than what you think," Tony Piccoli assures us as soon as we meet. He says Cobbler's Corner is the oldest shoe repair shop in Michigan. It originally began as the Northville Shoe Service owned by the Revitzer family, starting in 1928. Dogs as Weapons By Jack Lessenberry • 5 hours ago To me, one of the most horrific stories over the last year came in December, when a lady named Lucille Strickland was walking her five-year-old son to kindergarten in Detroit. Listen Listening... / 2:53 Jack Lessenberry for Friday July 1, 2016 Suddenly, a pack of four pit bull-type dogs appeared, grabbed the child, pulled him under a fence and into their yard and killed him. Neither the child nor his mother had done anything to provoke the dogs. Police came and killed the dogs, but were too late to save the child. DPS board meets for the last time, as "old" school district is eliminated By Sarah Cwiek • 9 hours ago Sarah Cwiek / Michigan Radio The Detroit Public Schools' board of education met for the final time ever on Thursday. The board has very little to do now as part of the "old," debt-ridden DPS. It will be replaced by a "new" district, run by a "transition manager"—currently the district's last emergency manager, Judge Steven Rhodes. Gov. Snyder just signed bills setting up this bankruptcy-style restructuring just last week. Nearly all of us want a self-driving car, says new survey By Tracy Samilton • 12 hours ago Ford Motor Company Nearly 75% of people surveyed by AlixPartners say they'd be interesting in an autonomous, AKA self-driving car. The number jumps to 90% if the self-driving car includes the option of letting a human take control if deemed necessary. Mark Wakefield of AlixPartners says he thinks his survey found more interest in self-driving cars because of the way they phrased the questions. The survey provided details about the positives of self-driving cars, in addition to the negatives. Why is it so darn hard to bike between Windsor and Detroit? By Stateside Staff • Jun 30, 2016 Flickr user sin9e/Flickr / http://j.mp/1SPGCl0 As more and more people turn to bicycles for transportation, fun and fitness, one might think it would be great to be able to bike between Detroit and Windsor. Once upon a time, that was possible. But no more. Cyclists on social media write of being able to ride, even walk across the Ambassador Bridge from Detroit to Windsor and back. But after Matty Maroun bought the Ambassador Bridge, the bike and pedestrian walkway was replaced by wider lanes to better handle 18-wheelers. Kent County tries new approach to reduce waste in trash By Daniel Rayzel • Jun 30, 2016 Courtesy of the Kent County Department of Public Works The Next Idea One man's trash is another man's treasure – one that's worth about $56 million. That's the estimated value of the wasted material sent to landfills every year, reports the West Michigan Sustainable Business Forum (WMSBF). NPR simulation shows Trump's difficult path to victory in Michigan By Lev Facher • Jun 30, 2016 Colleen P / Flickr - http://j.mp/1SPGCl0 It would take a major swing in voter demographics to turn Michigan red in the upcoming presidential election, according to a new tool developed by NPR. The 270 Project, which maps likely state-level winners based on the demographics and turnout rates of voters, allows election junkies to sketch out November's presidential election between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump by playing with five different margins of victory and turnout rates in various demographics: white male, white female, Black, Hispanic, and the rest of the electorate. Stop driving these older model Honda and Acura vehicles immediately By Tracy Samilton • Jun 30, 2016 NHTSA Every recall is a safety recall, as one of my favorite auto industry analysts, Michelle Krebs of Autotrader says. But there is a lot of recall fatigue out there. And it's dangerous. Autotrader's recent survey finds that 40% of people are ignoring recalls because they think the recall is "not important." So let's cut through that recall fatigue right now. Water in Flint congressman Dan Kildee's D.C. office tainted with lead By Lev Facher • Jun 30, 2016 Michigan Municipal League / dan kildee The Washington, D.C. and Flint offices of U.S. Rep. Dan Kildee, D-Mich., are nearly 600 miles apart. But lead-tainted water has recently been a problem in both. Monday, the Architect of the Capitol's office sent an eye-opening advisory to staffers in the D.C. building housing Kildee's office. "This week, the AOC received results within the Cannon House Office Building that indicate lead levels in drinking water sources are slightly above the EPA standard," wrote William Weidemeyer, the House Office Buildings superintendent. Fire & Glass expansion at Flint Institute of Arts By Steve Carmody • Jun 30, 2016 steve carmody / Michigan Radio The Flint Institute of Arts is planning a "fiery" expansion. FIA officials are announcing plans to expand the museum's gallery space, and add a glass making studio. Executive Director John Henry says museum-goers will be able to watch as glass artists work with fire to create art. This Michigan pollster goes beneath the surface of politics By Jack Lessenberry • Jun 30, 2016 This has been a surprising political year, to put it mildly, and there are still more than four months to go before the actual election. Whatever happens, it is safe to say that nobody a year ago really thought Donald Trump would be the Republican Presidential nominee. Listen Listening... / 3:01 Jack Lessenberry for Thursday, June 30, 2016 Hillary Clinton was expected to be the Democratic choice – but nobody imagined that a grumpy old socialist named Bernie Sanders would do as well as he did. In fact, the biggest upset on the Democratic side this spring was Sanders' stunning victory in the Michigan primary. Flint doctors raise concern about water filter effectiveness By Steve Carmody • Jun 30, 2016 steve carmody / Michigan Radio The Genesee County Medical Society suggests pregnant women and children under 6 in Flint should stick to bottled water until more tests are performed. That's despite the fact that federal agencies claimed water filters are working to remove lead from Flint tap water. "We finally have enough data to agree that the filters work so well to remove the lead that everyone in Flint -- even pregnant women, nursing moms and young children -- can used filtered water here," Dr. Nicole Laurie, leader of the federal response to the Flint water crisis, told reporters last week. A county prosecutor says "enough" to a self-styled video vigilante By Stateside Staff • Jun 30, 2016 Wikimedia user Colin / http://j.mp/1SPGCl0 Listen Listening... / 6:27 Our conversation with Chris Becker How far should a citizen go in trying to bust online predators? Zach Sweers is a 23-year-old West Michigan man who goes online posing as an underage girl. He meets men online, records everything as he sets up encounters, and then posts it all on YouTube. So far, Sweers' efforts have led to the arrests of seven men. Michigan Democrats call for "common sense gun laws" By Bryce Huffman • Jun 30, 2016 Daniel Weber / Flickr Democrats in Michigan's Congressional delegation are pushing for a pair of gun safety laws. One bill, dubbed "No Fly, No Buy," would prevent people on the terrorist watch list from buying guns. The other would expand background check policies. U.S. Rep. Dan Kildee, D-Flint, says it's time to do something about gun violence. "We have it within our power to take action. Will it prevent all violence? No. Could it have an effect on the next terrible event? Perhaps," Kildee says. In Flint, trust in filters – and government – elusive By Sarah Hulett • Jun 30, 2016 Sarah Hulett / Michigan Radio Listen Listening... / 4:00 Listen to today's Environment Report Michael Poole doesn't buy the line that filtered tap water is safe for him and his neighbors to drink. "There may be a day when I might be able to trust" the water, he says. "But until then, I'm getting this right here." Two more Michigan cities adopt ordinances to protect LGBT people By Rebecca Kruth • Jun 30, 2016 Guillaume Paumier / Creative Commons http://j.mp/1SPGCl0 Michigan's civil rights law offers protections based on race, religion, color, and national origin. It doesn't currently protect lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender people from being fired, denied housing or other forms of discrimination. However, a growing list of Michigan cities have adopted measures to protect LGBT people. Detroit aims to revive historic Paradise Valley with new development By Sarah Cwiek • Jun 29, 2016 Sarah Cwiek / Michigan Radio More upscale development is coming to downtown Detroit. These new plans are part of what's being dubbed the Paradise Valley Cultural and Entertainment District. It aims to revive the area's past as a vibrant center of African American culture. The original Paradise Valley left a huge imprint as a hub of blues, jazz and vibrant entertainment culture on early 20th-century Detroit. Detroit's Downtown Development Authority bought five buildings in the current Harmonie Park area in 2006. Issues & Ale explores why the public's level of trust in state government is low By Lindsey Scullen • Jun 29, 2016 Lindsey Scullen/Michigan Radio One Well Brewing in Kalamazoo opened its doors Tuesday night for Michigan Radio's latest rendition of Issues & Ale, our community conversation event series. For the second time this summer, Michigan Radio and the Center for Michigan met up with listeners to discuss why trust in government is eroding in our state – and how that trust might be restored. First Cannabis Church of Logic and Reason works to counter stereotypes By Stateside Staff • Jun 29, 2016 First Cannabis Church of Logic and Reason / Facebook Listen Listening... / 5:34 Our conversation with Jeremy Hall The First Amendment guarantees us the freedom to practice whatever religion we choose.

AG's Flint investigation raises questions about taxpayer-funded legal bills By Stateside Staff • Jun 29, 2016 Steve Carmody / Michigan Radio Listen Listening... / 5:39 Our conversation with Peter Henning Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette says lawyers hired by Governor Rick Snyder won't turn over documents demanded by his Flint investigation team.

They are defending twice as many seats as Republicans, and a number of those contests are in red states. But the recruitment of strong candidates and self-inflicted wounds by their GOP counterparts have given Democrats the advantage.
If the public polls are correct, Democrats are likely to win an open seat in Maine and are favored to pick up seats in deep-blue Massachusetts and ruby-red Indiana. If they win all three, Republicans will have to win six other seats — seven if President Obama is reelected and Vice President Biden remains the tie-breaking Senate vote. The GOP standing in other races makes that appear unlikely.
Indiana and Missouri are Republicans' biggest headaches this cycle.
In Missouri, Rep. Todd Akin's (R) infamous comments on "legitimate rape" triggered a national backlash that led to GOP leaders' asking him to drop out, and refusing to help his campaign when he didn't. Recent polls have shown Akin bouncing back against Sen. Claire McCaskillClaire McCaskillOvernight Tech: Obama heads back to Silicon Valley | FCC meeting preview | Yahoo bans terror content | Zuckerberg on sit-in live streams Senator shares frustrating call with cable company Hate TV customer service? So does your senator MORE (D), and Republican groups dumped a large chunk of money into the race in its final week. But McCaskill remains the favorite in a race many initially expected her to lose: She leads Akin by more than 6 points in the RealClearPolitics polling average of the race.
Indiana has been a more recent problem. GOP nominee Richard Mourdock already had been struggling because of comments that he opposed bipartisanship — and then he offered his controversial explanation about why he opposes abortion in cases of rape: "Even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that … is something God intended to happen."
A recent poll for Howey Politics Indiana found Rep. Joe DonnellyJoe DonnellyPost Orlando, hawks make a power play Overnight Cybersecurity: Senate narrowly rejects expanding FBI surveillance powers Senate narrowly rejects new FBI surveillance MORE (D) leading Mourdock by double digits, while a poll for the conservative Rasmussen Reports found him leading by 3 points, a swing from a 5-point Mourdock lead before the comment. Republicans think Mourdock still has a chance, but many privately concede he's the underdog.
Three of the closest Senate races, according to polls and early-voting trends, are in Montana, Nevada and Wisconsin.
In Wisconsin, former Gov. Tommy Thompson (R) has started to come back after early stumbles against Rep. Tammy BaldwinTammy BaldwinOvernight Finance: Wall Street awaits Brexit result | Clinton touts biz support | New threat to Puerto Rico bill? | Dodd, Frank hit back Dem hopeful that Congress will eliminate tax break for investment fund managers Congress should stop government hacking and protect the Fourth Amendment MORE (D) that cost him his lead in the polls. He remains the underdog, however. Thompson finished his tough August primary broke and exhausted, and as he took a break from the trail, Baldwin and Democratic groups flooded the airwaves with ads criticizing his time working for Washington, D.C.-based pharmaceutical groups after he stepped down as Health and Human Services secretary.
The attacks worked: In a month, Thompson went from a comfortable high-single-digit lead in public polls to trailing by the same margin. While conservative groups are now spending heavily in his defense, attacking Baldwin as an uncompromising liberal, she's running even in the polls with Obama in the state, which might be enough for a win. The RealClearPolitics poll average has her leading by 2.2 percentage points.
Sen. Jon TesterJon TesterBernie Sanders's awkward return to the Senate Senators roll out bipartisan gun proposal Congress should stop government hacking and protect the Fourth Amendment MORE (D-Mont.) has been able to keep his image as an independent farmer intact enough to stay competitive in the conservative state — he and Rep. Denny Rehberg (R) have been neck-and-neck in nearly every poll in the past year. The RealClearPolitics poll average for the state has Rehberg leading by 0.4 percent, and strategists on both sides of the aisle are predicting a photo finish.
Nevada's Senate race is also down to the wire. Heller has led in nearly every public poll of the race as a House Ethics Committee investigation of Rep. Shelley Berkley (D) has hurt her chances. But Senate Majority Leader Harry ReidHarry ReidAbortion ruling roils race for the White House, Senate Dem senator urges support for House Puerto Rico bill Reid: McConnell silence on Trump 'speaks volumes' MORE's Democratic machine might be the best of any in the country: Early voting in the state has skewed heavily Democratic, and Obama appears to be the likely victor in Nevada. The bigger his win, the less likely Heller is to hold on.
Heller, however, leads by 3.5 points in the RealClearPolitics poll average, although polling in the state is notoriously inaccurate. Nevada political guru Jon Ralston predicted a 1-point Heller win in a Sunday column.
Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass.) and North Dakota Democrat Heidi HeitkampHeidi HeitkampGun-control supporters plan next steps versus NRA McConnell quashes Senate effort on guns Senators roll out bipartisan gun proposal MORE are strong candidates who look unlikely to overcome the drag of their respective parties on Election Day.
In Massachusetts, the question is whether Democrat Elizabeth WarrenElizabeth WarrenOvernight Finance: McConnell tees up Puerto Rico vote | Britain's credit rating slashed | Clinton vows to appoint trade prosecutor The Trail 2016: Warren takes VP batting practice Five things we learned from first Warren-Clinton appearance MORE has succeeded in tying herself to Obama, who is popular in the state, and linking Brown to a Republican-controlled Senate. If she has, the party's overall unpopularity in the state should drag Brown down as Obama buoys Warren. But that's still, on Election Day, a solid "if" — three of the five polls released in the past week have shown the race statistically tied.
In North Dakota, Heitkamp has worked to avoid her party label by touting her support for Republican pet projects, such as the Keystone XL pipeline, while attacking Rep. Rick Berg (R-N.D.) for congressional inaction on the farm bill. Polling of the state has been sparse, but it's hard to see enough North Dakotans splitting their ticket to back both Heitkamp and Mitt Romney, who holds a double-digit lead there and just cut an ad supporting Berg.
In Virginia, a majority of the polls have put Democrat Tim KaineTim KaineOvernight Healthcare: Biggest abortion rights win in 25 years | Justice Kennedy again steps to the left McConnell tees up House Puerto Rico bill Abortion ruling roils race for the White House, Senate MORE ahead of Republican George Allen, but the RealClearPolitics average gives Kaine less than a 2-percentage-point lead, indicating this race could go either way.
Polling favors Democratic candidates in Connecticut, Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania, as well as Independent Angus KingAngus KingSenators roll out bipartisan gun proposal Dem Senate campaign chair endorses Clinton Obama nominates CIA watchdog to fill long vacancy MORE in Maine, who is expected to caucus with Democrats if he wins.
And despite a strong Democratic recruit in Richard Carmona in Arizona and a last-minute surge from Democrat Bob Kerrey in Nebraska, Republicans look poised to win those contests, holding onto Arizona and flipping Nebraska.

Question: Change of leadership
I have taken over as pto president from the previous person who had served as president for 5 years. The existing pto officers still call her for questions and she still has not given me all the info I need for the position. She is a good friend of mine, but i feel like she can't let go of being president even though she asked me to replace her. How do i handle this and get the board members to acknowledge the change?
Asked by woodcrickit
Advice from PTO TodayCraig writes:
That's a difficult and, unfortunately, not uncommon situation. You should have a frank, unemotional discussion with the past president. Let her know that you understand she's trying to be helpful, but some of her actions are making it difficult for you to establish yourself as the group's leader. It's likely that she doesn't really realize that she's undermining you. If you point it out in a positive way and without being accusing, chances are you'll see improvement in the situation. See if you can find a role for her where she can still use her talents but won't be in the middle of the action. Maybe it's the two of you meeting for coffee every couple of weeks to discuss what's going on rather than her attending meetings, for example. Before you have this meeting with her, think about ways she could help without becoming a distraction. The article How To Retire Gracefully is aimed at retiring presidents, but it might give you some insight into what specific actions are causing the problem and how to address them. Good luck!

Vehicle2008 Kia Optima EX 4dr Sedan (2.7L 6cyl 5A)
ReviewThis is my first new car, and I would have to say I made the right choice. This car provides all around safety, convenience, and just the right amount of sport as well. All of this is available at the right price. I believe this car is entirely too underrated. It drives tight, the infinity sound system sounds great, the controls are easy to follow, and it goes. The only problem is that it says Kia. People ask me what I own. All I can say is let me take you for a ride and ill prove that this car is awesome.

Pope cites Japan's early Christians as exemplars of faith
Persecuted and without priests, faith sustained for more than two centuries
This depiction of a samurai nobleman with a Jesuit priest pre-dates the persecution of Japanese Christians
January 17, 2014
Pope Francis referred to the Japan's early Christians - who suffered persecution but nevertheless kept their faith alive for two and a half centuries without the help of priests - as an example at the Wednesday General Audience in St. Peter's Square. Today's Audience was dedicated to Baptism, the sacrament which "makes us enter into this people of God … a people of God who walks and transmits the faith … the People of God that marches throughout history."
In the second of a brief series of catecheses on the Christian sacraments, Pope Francis spoke about the importance of Baptism for the people of God, referring to the Japanese Christian community as an example:
"That community suffered a severe persecution in the early seventeenth century. There were many martyrs, members of the clergy were expelled and thousands of people were killed. Not a single priest was left in Japan: they were all expelled. Then community then went underground, keeping the faith and prayer in hiding.
"And when a child was born, the father or the mother baptized him, because we can all baptize. When, after about two and a half centuries - 250 years later - the missionaries returned to Japan, thousands of Christians came out of hiding and the church could flourish. It had survived by the grace of their Baptism: but this is great! God's people transmit the faith, baptizing children and moving on.
"And they had maintained, even in secret, a strong community spirit, because baptism had made them become one body in Christ, they were isolated and hidden, but they were always members of the People of God, members of the Church. We can learn much from this story," Francis said.

An IT services provider based in Asia is throwing up some big numbers when it comes to savings and cloud computing.
DataOne Asia, an independent provider of IT services in the Philippines, said businesses can significantly reduce expenses by putting in place cloud computing solutions, according to an article on PCAdvisor.co,uk.
"Businesses that migrate their IT systems to the cloud could save at least 50 percent of their expenses. This is because the cloud minimizes the cost of infrastructure, management and support," said DataOne Asia President and CEO Cyril Rocke.
Rocke says that the cloud could help companies minimize expenses on procuring and maintaining their IT infrastructure.
"Most IT users tend to underestimate the cost of procuring infrastructure. Whenever a company wants to buy IT equipment like servers, they cannot do it in a snap. They need to follow a long procurement process where they have to justify the project, write cost-benefit analyses, and submit the necessary papers to different departments. Sometimes, there's even a need to hire IT experts that will decide which equipment is best for a company."
"In reality, companies can spend more than a year and thousands of [dollars] on the procurement process alone. This entire traditional procurement process severely damages businesses, and reduces their ability to react and roll out new ideas and solutions."
Rocke says that, instead of procuring new equipment, a company can address its IT needs by looking to cloud services. He believes that moving to the cloud will downsize a company's lengthy procurement process.
Cloud Computing: Effectively Changing the Business Operation Model
Cloud computing is certainly on the up and up, and the pace at which it's transforming business models and efficiencies is quickening as well.
The reason for the transformation depends on how a business operates and its specific needs, but some major trends have emerged, according to an article on Forbes.com.
One of the main accelerators of cloud computing? Employees. Workers are one of the main driving forces behind many changes related to cloud computing within the business environment. Employees want to work from home or even use devices with which they are most comfortable. Cloud computing has made it easier for remote employees to enjoy all of the benefits of working in an office (collaboration, Hosted Exchange email, access to documents, etc.) while they are working from home or even on the road.
Cloud computing has unburdened businesses from the traditional IT business model, giving them more options when it comes to their IT infrastructure. In the past, the business/IT model was straightforward: Businesses hired IT professionals to run their computer hardware and software. The IT staff had to forecast business needs as far out as 5 or 10 years, and make purchases accordingly.
The problem with this business/IT model was that oftentimes the forecasts were wrong. And there are certainly horror stories of IT forecasting. For example, IT may forecast that a business will only need a certain amount of data storage for the next five years and only purchase the forecasted amount, without considering growth, more personnel or even just more demand on the system. Then after only a year, IT realizes that they're on the verge of running out of storage and need to purchase more.
With cloud computing, you never have to worry about running out of storage or server capacity, resulting in major cost savings.
Walmart Acquires Cloud Startups OneOps and Tasty Labs
Walmart is getting in on the cloud computing craze.
The Silicon Valley technology subsidiary of Walmart, @WalmartLabs, has picked up two cloud computing startups.
OneOps, which developed a PaaS that automates and accelerates the management of product releases, and Tasty Labs, a software development shop responsible for Jig.com and Human.io, have joined the technology arm of Walmart Global eCommerce. This could put Walmart directly into the cloud computing business, and with its corporate muscle, it's difficult to predict how Walmart could have an impact on the cloud space, according to an article on TalkinCloud.com.
"OneOps will help us deliver on our plans to bring together best-in-class retail with best-in-class e-commerce to create amazing experiences for customers. We are proud to have them on board and joining our talent-filled team," wrote Walmart's Tim Kimmet on the @WalmartLabs blog.
Walmart did not disclose the terms of the acquisition agreement, but with the addition of OneOps, Walmart should be able to accelerate its PaaS and IaaS strategies. Much of the development will likely be internal for use within Walmart for e-commerce, but there's nothing stopping Walmart from becoming a cloud services provider in its own right. Should Walmart bring its traditional business strategies to the cloud world, it could upset the apple cart.

I struggle with neck pain and saw this pillow. It has helped significantly with my neck. It is different from a regular pillow but I like that. When I lay my head down the buckewheat puffs up around my neck to support it. Not near the neck pain I was having every morning when I woke up. I would definitely recommend to people that struggle.

I think this pillow is beautiful- the tree design is quite lovely and I love the beading. However, it's not worth the money, in my opinion. My biggest complaint is that it just doesn't keep it's shape well and could be a whole lot firmer. I expected it to be larger, too, for the price. In addition, the red is SO red that it really doesn't blend well with the other colors in my place. My apartment is QUITE colorful so this was surprising to me. In the end, I gave the pillow to my sister instead of returning it, so I am okay with it not working out for me. I also got a lot of compliments on how pretty it is. As I've said, the pattern is really beautiful. It's just that it could be much better constructed and a bit larger in sizer for the price tag so I could not recommend this to a friend.

I was skeptical when I ordered this pillow, but I tried down, latex, memory foam and nothing was supporting my head (I sleep on my back) so that I could sleep through the night without having to fuss with my pillow. This buckwheat hull pillow is absolutely perfect. I did scoop out some of the hulls to make a deeper pocket for my head. It enabled me to have the best sleep I have had in years and the quality of this pillow is obvious on first sight.

I am very happy with this beautiful pillow, which I bought as an accent for my taupe and white master bedroom color scheme. The workmanship is top quality - with a hidden zipper on one side - and high quality filling/stuffing. Not the cheap foam stuff - it's filled with feathers! (and little down.) I normally would not spend this much on a throw pillow, but I'm so glad I did. I may even buy a second one!

This is a very nice pillow. It does have sharp pieces but if you only use it for decorative reasons you shouldn't have any issues. The pillow I received isn't as bright in color as the picture is showing. Overall it is a very nice throw pillow.

3 PPVs in 4 months, what will you buy?
i know most of us are cheap and stream, i do it at times too. but..
Sept, we get Mayweather-Ortiz on PPV.
Nov, we get Pacquiao-Marquez.
Dec - Cotto - Margarito.
im obviously buying the Cotto fight, action fight, redemption and alot of questions tobe answered with both fighters and the always great Mexican Rican rivals.
If i had to choose another id pick May Ortiz, to see if May will finally get caught up with ring rust and if Ortiz can actually be something more.
Pac Marquez is a obvious fight. At the wrong weight, wrong time. Pac will basically murder Marquez, but you cant deny this wont be a action packed fight. I rather Pac over a May fight anyday, but you barely see Floyd, so it wont hurt to miss out on buying this one.
If you had to pick 2/3 of these PPVs. what would you pick and why? lets have a civil convo for once..

I have a job, I'll buy all of them.
I do hate the pac marquez fight at this weight, and would love to boycott it, but who am i kidding?
Same with cheato and cotto. But it will be one of my most anticipated fight of recent years, so I have to swallow my pride and put some coin in cheatos pocket.

mayweather ortiz is the best fight by a longshot..... im interested in the other 2 fights, but im not so sure about marquez @ WW...i think cotto should school cheato... I'll probably buy all three... if i was going to skip one it'd be the cotto ppv.

I'm going to buy Ortiz-Mayweather, on the fence about the other two. I will most likely go watch them at Buffalo Wild Wings or some sports bar and end up with a bar tab that will likely be more than if I just watched them at home, but meh I'm an irrationally cheap bastard like that. I think Cotto-Margarito is going to be a huge letdown though. They are both vastly overrated based on who they were 4-5 years ago.

Walker, Barrett previously backed shifting funds to KRM
When Milwaukee County Board Chairman Lee Holloway suggested Tuesday that $91.5 million in long-idle federal transit funds be channeled to the KRM Commuter Link rail project, he was promptly denounced by County Executive Scott Walker and Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett.
But Walker and Barrett didn't mention that both of them have previously advocated giving the money to the commuter rail line, which would run from downtown Milwaukee to Kenosha, stopping in between on the south side, in the southern suburbs and in Racine.
The $91.5 million is the last remaining piece of $289 million appropriated in late 1991. Walker and Barrett disagree over how to spend it, with Barrett advocating a mix of streetcars and express buses and Walker pushing for express buses alone.
However, in 2003, near the end of former Mayor John O. Norquist's term, Walker and Norquist agreed to support using the money for the KRM. Gov. Jim Doyle wouldn't sign off on that deal, saying he wanted to wait for the next mayor to weigh in.
Walker said today that subsequent research showed that shifting the money to the KRM would violate the 2001 legal settlement of two federal civil rights complaints, a settlement that requires the money be used to benefit low-income residents. The shift also wouldn't fit in with the Milwaukee Connector study of how to spend the money to link downtown attractions and nearby neighborhoods, he said.
Also, in 2006, Barrett suggested the money could be used to extend the KRM west to Miller Park. The Common Council and County Board have since backed an even longer extension, up the 30th St. rail corridor to the Ozaukee County line. The Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Transit Authority has said it would study that extension after the original route is approved.
Barrett said today that his earlier stand was consistent with his view that the money should be spent entirely within Milwaukee. He said he didn't believe the original KRM route meets that standard.
Both Walker and Barrett also said their earlier positions came before they developed their current plans.
