I plan to go in at 16 weeks as well. They told me they could as early as 14 weeks. Last time I found out at 17.
This is my first time finding out at 16 weeks and I hope that what ever they tell me is accurate. All three of my other pregnancies we didn't find out until 18-20 weeks. I have three boys and I am dying to find out if this one is a girl!
I called today to schedule an early gender scan and was told by the tech (who is also a nurse practioner) that at 14 weeks it is 65% accurate and at 16 weeks it is 95% accurate. So we scheduled it for 16 weeks rather than earlier. I found out with both of my girls at 16 weeks as well.

Skip to comments.(Freep This Poll!) Who's to blame for US debt downgrade?

100 years of creeping Progressivism was not a choice....
MSNBC viewers are obviously not very bright.
Please PING to this poll...
The Demorats doesn't register a new vote. It's rigged.
Some of the comments with the po;; make me want to grab these blind liberal idiots and just shake the snot out of them!!!!
I had to laugh at the idiots trying to blame the tea party!
Yes, and the Fed Reserve plus Wall Street were not choices. Congress responded to their wishes since 1912, and still do.
What is the point of playing with these delusional MSNBC types?
How pray tell is the Tea party responsible in any way sharp or form?
This country is nutso.
"The downgrade reflects our opinion that the fiscal consolidation plan that Congress and the Administration recently agreed to falls short of what, in our view, would be necessary to stabilize the government's medium-term debt dynamics," Standard & Poor's said in a press release.
"More broadly, the downgrade reflects our view that the effectiveness, stability, and predictability of American policymaking and political institutions have weakened at a time of ongoing fiscal and economic challenges to a degree more than we envisioned when we assigned a negative outlook to the rating on April 18, 2011," the statement continues.
Boehner and Congress bailed! So We should have left the ball in the Senate's court rather than dessert our goals! But actually, this is the fault of the Obama administration and Harry Reid just doing what they always intended to do!
It will be interesting to see what else Obama did to us while our eye was focused on the crisis he created!

Neither was FDR, Lyndon Johnson and Ted Kennedy.
All members of Congress who voted for TARP, the "stimulus" packages" and Obamacare, among other things.
All people who voted for Obama.
Previous admininstrations and their Congresses who assisted the communists in getting to this point.
MSNBC is owned by GE.
The don't pay taxes then use the savings to build plants in China.
F what MSNBC thinks.
They aren't involved in this.
Neither does Obama.
Yeah, these people are soaked in ignorance. It makes me want to scream. If this was Bush they would be shouting IMPEACH HIM, but listen.....crickets..
I cannot stand liberals. Destructive, marxist progressive robots. THIS IS OBAMAS FAULT! I'm so angry I could break something!
I think I just had a ministroke. Maybe I'll sue Obama and get some of my money back.
Hmmmm! Very interesting. The owner of S&P is McGraw Hill.
Pre-Marketing: S&P for sale?
"Big breakup? Activists put pressure on S&P owner McGraw Hill "
Here is more about McGraw Hill:
Since we've let it be squandered, it is time to restore it.
America finally elects a black president and he F*** ups the credit rating. You couldn't write this script in real life without being called racist.
The anti-Tea Party inane comments seem to be written by the same person, or possibly Obamabots paid to troll comments.
This is interesting becasue I see most of the giant publishers as means to provide payola to leftists. Think Hussians books, the Clintons....
Or possibly MSNBC hosts.
The issue is "truth" or "illusion".
Obozo is total illusion.
With the USA being downgraded, I suppose Obama can declare MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.
Just went to the Boston Heralds comments page under the downgrade article and they are trashing Obama.
The communist propagandists in the state run "media" do an excellent job telling the gullible morons who live in this country what they are supposed to believe.
The bass turds living in this country today do not deserve to be living here. IMHO.
Those are the deadest, darkest, shark eyes I've ever seen.
Poll's gotta be rigged. 4% blame democrats. LOL! At the very least it should be 40% (going by party affiliation in this nation). That show's me that at least 96% of MSNBC's viewers are liberal democrats.
Starting with the Roosevelts, one a "progressive Republican/Bull Moose and the other a european socialist liberal Democrat!!!
Or their viewer.
I blame it on Obama absolutely ballooning the size of government and government spending out of sight since 2009. Fitch, Standard & Poor's and Moody's will give back the AAA rating once Obama is booted out of office in November 2012 and we finally prune back government to its proper size and function and get real income tax reform.
John Kerry is a horse's ass. Listen at 5:20 to end.
rove ... you magnificent bastard
All spending starts in the house. Boner and his fellow travelers.
Cute. They have the votes opposed to the democrats split four ways and the vote against the Republicans in one basket.

- Not one to experiment in the emerging environment of atonal and neo-classical music, his old-fashioned compositions were swept aside well before his death.
- In fact, it reminds me very much of Schoenberg's freely atonal music of roughly twenty years previous.

Architecture "The stubborn nail has been removed."
posted by April 4 at 11:05 AMon
This house…
… which belonged to the Wu family, Chinese media heroes, agitators against property developers and cultural authoritarianism in general, as well as cover-artists of these accidental earthworks…
… has been destroyed.
The best part? Mr. Wu defiantly stayed in the house until its late-night demolition. Mrs. Wu, when told the house had been demolished, said: "Oh well."
One gets the sense that something more than a house has been destroyed.

This question is specifically for PDF files, because I work with them all day and have to download 20+ at a time. I use an extension called Linkclump which selects all links at one time. Since I disabled the Chrome PDF Viewer, these now automatically download (which I intended).
The only problem is I get 20+ dialogs across the bottom of my screen that ask me if I want to Keep or Cancel my downloads. Seriously? I have to click Keep on every single one of them. This did not happen before in Chrome, the change was added a few versions ago I believe.
Oh, and I'm using Chrome Dev v14.0.803.0.

LAMTOR4 (Late Endosomal/Lysosomal Adaptor, MAPK And MTOR Activator 4) is a Protein Coding gene. Among its related pathways are Gene Expression and Signaling by GPCR. GO annotations related to this gene include guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor activity and protein complex scaffold.
UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot for LAMTOR4 Gene
As part of the Ragulator complex it is involved in amino acid sensing and activation of mTORC1, a signaling complex promoting cell growth in response to growth factors, energy levels, and amino acids. Activated by amino acids through a mechanism involving the lysosomal V-ATPase, the Ragulator functions as a guanine nucleotide exchange factor activating the small GTPases Rag. Activated Ragulator and Rag GTPases function as a scaffold recruiting mTORC1 to lysosomes where it is in turn activated.

VATICAN CITY (AP) - Pope Benedict is praying for the victims of traffic accidents and urging drivers, passengers and pedestrians to
stay "sober and alert" on the road.
Benedict told the faithful gathered in St. Peter's Square that the third Sunday of November is dedicated to those who died in road accidents and to their grieving families.
The pope said everyone on the road should show "responsibility, consideration and respect for others."
He prayed to the Virgin Mary to "lead us safely along streets and highways throughout the world."

Prized Possessions
area theaters, starts Friday
U Film Society, Bell Auditorium, starts Friday
Be advised: Beloved is no Color Purple. Yes, it rivals Spielberg's royal romance as a Hollywood Event and even resuscitates Purple luminaries Oprah Winfrey and Danny Glover in leading roles. But Beloved is chiefly a horror film, complete with haunted house, domestic despair, possession, exorcism, rape-revenge, and even a Final Girl who ultimately breaks free from the nightmare.
Of course, the obvious difference here involves Pulitzer Prize-winning author Toni Morrison, and the fact that her subject, slavery, is a primordial horror. Building on 19th-century slave narratives and newspaper reports, Morrison's Beloved lays bare the brutal proceedings that those accounts passed over in silence. Via flashbacks, the novel traces incidents in the life of a runaway slave woman that led her to slit her infant daughter's throat rather than see her family captured and enslaved. One war and 18 years later, Beloved, the ghost of the murdered baby, returns to plague Sethe, her daughter Denver, and her lover Paul D, a fellow refugee from the god-awful "Sweet Home" plantation. Morrison, determined to dramatize the most intimate consequences of slavery, probed her characters' psyches in unflinching detail.
And who better to translate this shocking vision onto the screen than director Jonathan Demme, whose repertoire includes the consummate psychosexual shocker The Silence of the Lambs, and whose signature props include cages and cuffs? Now that Demme has pictured Beloved as a work of quintessential American horror (redefining the genre in the process), it's hard to fathom that producer Winfrey first pitched the project to Jane Campion and then Peter Weir. (Campion reportedly felt she couldn't capture the nuances of African-American history, while Weir objected to Winfrey's insistence on performing the lead role.) In making his Beloved, it's as if Demme grafted the likes of Psycho, Rosemary's Baby, The Shining, and his own Silence onto Charles Burnett's To Sleep with Anger and Julie Dash's Daughters of the Dust. Call it the return of the racial repressed.
This isn't to say that Beloved's agony is unrelieved, punctuated as it is by romantic and even sentimental scenes. There are fragile moments of hard-won ecstasy, as when Sethe (Winfrey) and Paul D (Glover) make love in a washtub; when the family makes an excursion to the carnival on "Colored Thursday"; and when Grandma Baby Suggs (Beah Richards) preaches the pleasures of the flesh. Even in those moments, though, the past eclipses the present--for example, when Paul D jokes that he knew the carnival's caged "Wild African Savage" back in Roanoke. And horror segues into tragedy when Paul must urge Sethe to release her children and save herself, telling her what she doesn't yet recognize: "You your best thing."
But just as the greedy past overwhelms Sethe and her kin, the mass-mediated present likewise threatens to overshadow the film itself. Am I the only one who finds Oprah's recent photo-op in Vogue disturbing? Calculated to complement the film's release, Vogue's "A Major Movie, An Amazing Makeover" fashion spread, which features the new diva in the likes of a $41,840 couture kimono, clashes rather unnervingly with her Beloved character's bloody feet and mutilated back. Then there's the way Winfrey's infamously perpetual efforts to remold her body end up mirroring but also trivializing slavery's physical toll on black women. (She reports in Vogue that Demme instructed her to lose 20 pounds for the film, and that she forced herself through another punishing weight-loss regimen for the magazine's photo shoot.) "I've been fighting weight all my life," Oprah testifies, as if that battle could begin to parallel the real subject at hand. Her punch line: "Vogue is the big house!" Tell that to Dorothy Dandridge, the Academy Award nominee who made the cover of Life in 1954, but was soon broken by the entertainment industry's racist machinations.
Why, we might well ask, would Demme find Winfrey's body, in her words, "too big for this movie"? Are we to believe that slave women were a doll-size 4? Such concern for her physique makes sense, though, considering that the director cut his teeth in the '70s writing and/or directing chicks-in-prison flicks (Black Mama, White Mama; Caged Heat)--a genre premised on brutality and, above all, breasts. To be fair, Caged Heat inverted the formula, depicting strip searches and sexual abuse as dehumanizing rather than titillating--although countless shower scenes and panty shots still make up the meat of the movie.
Bringing this bodily bent to Beloved means that Demme gratuitously foregrounds female flesh, unlike Morrison's book, which gives equal exposure to the physical and sexual suffering of men. When it comes to nudity, Demme's Beloved writes Hollywood's 20th-century double standard back onto the slave past. So, where the camera dwells on women's bodies and bodily functions in excruciating detail, it mostly passes over Glover's (with one exception). And while the movie features a hideously protracted and explicit scene in which white men gobble Sethe's breast milk, we catch only the most fleeting glimpses of the masters' horrifying abuse of slave men.
Demme does better when it comes to rendering psychic trauma. Between the film's washed-out blue and gray color scheme at its outset and the eventually blood-red haunted house, the director certainly signals his departure from the rosy likes of Spielberg's The Color Purple. Accordingly, the various shades reflect Sethe's state of mind--from her hellish memory of fleeing across the Ohio river with the aid of a poor white girl, filmed in an ultra-grainy, super-saturated style (vividly recalling Demme's films of the '70s), to her retreat into madness, feverishly captured in bright candy colors.
And, appropriately for the auteur of Crazy Mama (1975), Demme grasps the lethal force of a mother love that's "too thick"--both for Sethe, who is consumed by insatiable guilt in the form of Beloved (Thandie Newton), and for Denver (Kimberly Elise), who almost loses herself in her mother's grief. Following Morrison, Demme doesn't romanticize the experience or the symbol of motherhood, which, in the novelist's words, can be "a killer." Like any horror heroine, Sethe has hacked a path through the woods, but the true psychological terror comes when she can't escape her own unmanageable memory. It's up to her daughter to flee her own mother and their haunted house--and, with the help of neighbor women, to exorcise slavery's ghost.
By the time Sethe attacks the benevolent Mr. Bodwin with an ice pick, we understand the trauma that causes all white men to represent the same evil in her mind. But Demme's intense focus on Sethe and her household downplays the fact that this might not be a sign of insanity so much as a healthy response and even a community consensus. "Damn. That woman is crazy," the novel's characters observe of Sethe's outburst. "Yeah, well, ain't we all?" The author also writes that "not a house in the country ain't packed to its rafters with some dead Negro's grief." Ultimately, Morrison's national tragedy is Demme's haunted house.
The French Un air de famille masquerades as light comedy, but it's a family trauma all the same, packed as it is with sad insights and moving details. Friday is "family night" for the film's dysfunctional, if outwardly polite and tightly knit, clan, which includes Mother (Claire Maurier) and her three children: favored son Philippe (Wladimir Yordanoff), scapegoat Henri (Jean-Pierre Bacri), and rebellious daughter Betty (Agnes Jaoui), plus their significant others. Like many a domestic celebration, this party implodes when the enmeshed family turns in on itself.
The moral of the story? The family that eats together eats each other. In other words, deadening domesticity reproduces--and destroys--itself, unless family members can break free of past patterns. Henri's marital philosophy embodies suffocating nuclear normalcy: "There's no need to think. If you're unhappy, you wait it out." Meanwhile, Philippe treats his wife like a literal dog, giving her a diamond collar for her birthday and offering a toast that befits a household pet: "To the mother of my children, always by my side for 15 years. Never complaining, always chipper." As he speaks, the paralyzed family Labrador lies languishing in a corner. "He's decorative, like a rug, except he's alive," explains Henri. It takes Betty, the "unladylike" daughter, to cuss, drink, and speak the truth--to break the domestic spell.

During childhood and adolescence, there is an increased incidence of developing thyroid nodules, and potentially, thyroid cancer for patients exposed to iodine I 131 metaiodobenzylguanidine (131 I-mIBG). Children who have been treated with 131 I-mIBG should undergo lifelong monitoring, not only for thyroid function but also for the development of thyroid nodules and thyroid cancer.[14]
Several investigations have demonstrated the superiority of ultrasound to clinical exam for detecting thyroid nodules/cancers and characterized ultrasonographic features of nodules that are more likely to be malignant.[15,16] However, primary screening for thyroid neoplasia (beyond physical exam with thyroid palpation) remains controversial because of the lack of data indicating a survival benefit and quality-of-life benefit associated with early detection and intervention. In fact, because these lesions tend to be indolent, are rarely life-threatening, and may clinically manifest many years after exposure to radiation, there are significant concerns regarding the costs and harms of overscreening.[17]
(Refer to the Subsequent Neoplasms section of this summary for information about subsequent thyroid cancers.)
Posttransplant thyroid dysfunction
Survivors of pediatric hematopoietic stem cell transplant are at increased risk of thyroid dysfunction, with the risk being much lower (15%-16%) after fractionated total-body irradiation (TBI), as opposed to single-dose TBI (46%-48%). Non-TBI-containing regimens historically were not associated with an increased risk. However, in a report from the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, the increased risk of thyroid dysfunction was not different between children receiving a TBI or busulfan-based regimen (P = .48).[18] Other high-dose therapies have not been studied. While mildly elevated TSH is common, it is usually accompanied by normal thyroxine concentration.[19,20]

Central hypothyroidism is discussed with late effects that affect the pituitary gland.
Pituitary Gland
Survivors of childhood cancer are at risk for a spectrum of neuroendocrine abnormalities, primarily due to the effect of radiation therapy on the hypothalamus. Essentially all of the hypothalamic-pituitary axes are at risk.[21,22,23] The six anterior pituitary hormones and their major hypothalamic regulatory factors are outlined in Table 8.

Author has written 1 story for Harry Potter.
UPDATE 5/17/13- So, my freaking laptop crashed yesterday (failed disc). I already replaced the hard-drive this year, so I have to buy a new one. :( I also lost the chapters I'd been working on. I'm not sure when I'll be able to update- it depends on when I can buy a new one/when I can find a computer with word to borrow. Hopefully within a week or so! I'm sorry- this sucks for me too. :(
Some other things to know about me-
I'm 19 years old, in my second year of college. I was just accepted to the School of Nursing, and begin my nursing classes/clinicals next fall!
Favorite things- good books, music (especially indie rock/soft rock), green peppers, watermelon, playing piano, musicals, swimming, skiing, learning languages (I speak Spanish!) singing, my family and friends.
Least favorite things- traffic, ignorance, raw onions, seafood.
I love many books, but the two main series which I'm an avid follower of are Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings. I've always loved both of them, since I was quite young. They're both epic series, and as a result, most of the stories I write and favorite will be related to those two categories. I also love the Sherlock and Supernatural fandoms. C:
Other books I love- (HP/LOTR), Jane Eyre, The Kite Runner, Einstein's Dreams, The Glass Castle, The Hunger Games, To Kill a Mockingbird, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, Fools Crow.
Some pairings which I LOVE!! (Send me any good stories you may find, please!)
Harry Potter- HARRY AND SNAPE, Harry and Sirius, Remus and Tonks. I prefer mentor/guardianship with Snape/Harry and Sirius/Harry, but I enjoy slash as well! Snape and Harry are definitely my favorite pairing. And Snape is my favorite character, by far.
LOTR- Aragorn and Legolas- basically, any sort of friendship fic between the fellowship.
Sherlock- John/Sherlock (JOHNLOCK) friendship and slash.
Supernatural- Sam and Dean, brotherly hurt/comfort.

The driver was taken to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle with serious injuries. Nobody else was hurt.
Police are still looking into what caused the crash.

Health & Pregnancy
What Would You Do to Have a Baby?
To Clone or Not to Clone?
As in the case of the atom bomb, say cloning critics, just because we have the technology doesn't mean we should use it. With human cloning, experts raise serious practical as well as ethical issues that call the technology itself into question.
"Cloning mammals has been thus far a dismal record of failures -- dead, dying, and deformed clones, and threats to the health and life of the females bearing cloned fetuses," Thomas H. Murray, PhD, president of the Hastings Center in Garrison, N.Y., tells WebMD.
"Dolly the cloned sheep is grossly obese, and probably not normal," says Rudolf Jaenisch, MD. "Molly the cloned cow dropped dead in the field one day for unknown reasons."
Jaenisch, a professor of biology at Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Boston and a pioneer in animal models of gene transfer, is concerned that clones could have subtle genetic defects showing up later, with tragic consequences like brain damage.
"We can't assess that in a sheep that just eats grass all day," he says.
Possible risks to the mother include the relatively gargantuan size of the fetus. Because of the clone's excessive weight and a placenta seven times normal size, a cesarean section is always needed in cloned animals, Jaenisch explains.
If cloning works as rarely in humans as in animals, 95 to 99 of every 100 pregnancies would fail, causing physical and emotional trauma for the mother, he says.
Bouncing Baby Clone
"It was hit or miss before, but now the race is on," Zavos counters. "Acceleration of cloning developments will be astounding, once humans are thrown into the equation. It's amazing what we humans can do."
In humans, Zavos claims he will screen embryos for disease and genetic abnormalities, then transfer only those likely to implant themselves into the mother's womb.
"We're not sure that babies won't be born with defects, but to aim for perfection is our goal. We're just humble human beings wanting to assist couples in having a child," he says.
Jaenisch and others contend that screening may be inaccurate or misleading: "It is totally irresponsible to undertake reproductive cloning. People who want to do this are misleading the public and should be stopped."
Thank you for submitting your response.

The broadcaster is so concerned about the declining standards of men's underwear that he has written to Sir Stuart Rose, the chief executive of M&S, detailing his "anxiety" about its gussets, which he said no longer offered "adequate support".
"Like very large numbers of men in this country, I have always bought my socks and pants at Marks & Sparks," he wrote. "I've noticed that something very troubling has happened. There's no other way to put this. Their pants no longer provide adequate support. When I've discussed this with friends and acquaintances it has revealed widespread gusset anxiety. I do feel that someone should take up this mighty battle.
"The other thing is socks. Even among those of us who clip our toenails rigorously, they appear to be wearing out much more quickly on the big toe. Also, they're no longer ribbed around the top, which means they do not stay up in the way that they used to.
"These are matters of great concern to the men of Britain. I just felt it was time that somebody raised this with the only man who can sort it out, Stuart Rose."
Paxman, 57, told the Mail on Sunday that he had emailed Sir Stuart last week, but had assumed their exchange would remain private. "I don't know how this leaked out, but it wasn't supposed to.
"Anyway, Stuart Rose took this very good humouredly and very kindly replied, inviting me to lunch and promising to bring various pairs of pants with him."
A spokeswoman for M&S said: "Stuart Rose has been in touch with Jeremy Paxman and looks forward to discussing his intimate apparel with him. We welcome feedback from all our customers, and that includes Jeremy."

The Captain and the Kids (MGM animated series)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
|This article does not cite any sources. (June 2016) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
In 1938, the comic strip "The Captain and the Kids" (Rudolph Dirks' parallel version of his own strip "The Katzenjammer Kids") was adapted by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, becoming the studio's first self-produced series of theatrical cartoon short subjects, directed by William Hanna, Bob Allen, and Friz Freleng. The series was unsuccessful, ending after one year and a total of 15 cartoons. Following that cancellation, Freleng returned to Warner Bros., where he had earlier been an animation director. The Captain was voiced by Billy Bletcher, and John Silver was voiced by Mel Blanc.

Most Helpful
This was a really simple recipe and the bread turned out really moist. My loaves were a little underdone even though the toothpick came out clean, I think because I used the lowfat sour cream it was too watery. The cinnamon was a little overpowering so next time I will reduce the amount. I gave some to my parents and in-laws and they loved it. All in all a great way to use strawberries.
This recipe is amazing! I have used it with strawberries and with blueberries, I have used an equal mixture of wheat and white flour, I have done the yogurt sub for sour cream...I have accidentally mixed things out of order...this recipe has turned out wonderfully every time. I had to make this once a week every week last summer, sometimes as muffins, and I make it often now as well. Really a recipe that will stay in my cookbook and get passed down. FANTASTIC!
Delicious bread! I've made it several times and I always use plain low fat yogurt instead of sour cream and 1 1/2 cups of strawberries.I like mine a little sweeter so I sprinkle brown sugar on top of the bread before baking.It always turns out very moist and has a wonderful flavor.

Stella McCartney in Stella McCartney
Stella McCartney posed for some pictures with Liv Tyler and Naomi Watts at the presentation of her new 2012 Resort Collection in New York City before jetting off. She wore her Stella McCartney ombre zip skinny jeans for the showing. I like how she wore them here then switched her jacket and shoes for the plane ride. Both looks are just amazing to me.
What I love about Stella's jeans is that they always fit her so amazing. Granted she might do a little custom tailoring for her own personal pairs. I just love that they are skintight all the way down. I just love Stella's style. This whole look is amazing. I like that she keeps it simple. We mostly, always only see her in a loose white tee with a jacket. It is always feminine with some structure to it. No wonder why she has dedicated followers to her brand.
Stella McCartney in Stella McCartney
Stella McCartney was seen arriving at JFK yesterday afternoon in New York City wearing her own ombre grey skinny jeans. I think this is a great casual outfit and it looks comfortable for flying in.
I have always been in love with these jeans ever since they came out last year. They are so pretty and I just love the subtle ombre fading along with the small ankle zips. They are still my favourire pair of jeans that Stella has come out with actually. Buy Stella McCartney jeans at Donna Ida.

Kirsten Dunst in Stella McCartney
Kirsten Dunst was seen strolling the streets of SoHo while wearing a denim dress by Stella McCartney. What do you think of Kirsten's dress? It's the same one that Liv Tyler was seen out in a few months ago. While I do think that it looks better on Kirsten than Liv, I still don't think it's the most flattering option when it comes to denim dresses.
Elle MacPherson in Stella McCartney
Elle MacPherson was seen on the school run again in London, England a few days ago. She was dropping her 8 year old son, Aurelius, at his school in the morning. It always amazes me how dressed up Elle looks so early in the morning, she's gorgeous.
This time she didn't opt for her usual MET Jeans, she chose a pair of Stella McCartney Bootcut Jeans which she tucked a crisp white shirt into and paired with wedges and sunglasses. This, in my opinion, is the perfect way to wear high rise flared jeans, they just look perfect and the whole outfit gives off a smart and formal vibe combined with chic and laid back style. I love it! Buy these jeans at Matches.com for £265.

Donald Trump's campaign is a grand gamble that he can turn enough angry white men, who have not voted in a while, into voters in 2016. He is ignoring the rules of the game and trying to find new supporters just like the ones he already has.
Sanders has started a social welfare advocacy organization to support progressive groups seeking to coach and vet those who want to run for office.
Speakout is Truthout's treasure chest for bloggy, quirky, personally reflective, or especially activism-focused pieces. Speakout articles represent the perspectives of their authors, and not those of Truthout.
As a social epistemologist, my work has been focused on highlighting the ways misinformation, disinformation and ignorance adversely affect policy in the geopolitical and tactical spheres. I subscribe to the via negativa because it is both easier and more reliable to identify epistemic blindspots and errors than to predict the best strategy for events which are fluid and massive in scale and complexity, with volatile and/or opaque payoffs and risks. Virtually all geopolitical events tend fall into this domain (anyone who tries to convince the public otherwise is likely a hack, a fundamentalist or a cynical bastard—categories which, regrettably, fail to be mutually-exclusive).
But the situation isn't totally hopeless–negative epistemology has profound and obvious implications for its (more precarious) positive aspect: with each malformed strategy cast aside, each false narrative exposed (beginning with the most popular, influential or otherwise pernicious), with each mistake learned from, each pitfall avoided, each constraint identified–one becomes increasingly likely to make a good decision in the face of uncertainty, or at the least, minimize harm from error.
A ground breaking report released on April 1, 2014 by the ACCE Institute and Common Cause reveals that Big Oil spent $123.6 million to lobby elected officials in California over the past 15 years, an increase of over 400 percent since the 1999-2000 legislative session, when the industry spent $4.8 million.
The report, "Big Oil Floods the Capitol: How California's Oil Companies Funnel Funds Into the Legislature," highlights the growing influence of the Oil and Gas Lobby in Sacramento, including the increasing power of the Western States Petroleum Association (WSPA). The analysis examines the broad and expanding scope of the oil and gas industry's spending in Sacramento as the industry gears up to expand fracking (hydraulic fracturing) operations in California facilitated by the passage of Senator Fran Pavley's Senate Bill 4 last September.
In the wake of the American Studies Association's December 2013 endorsement of a Palestinian civil society call for an academic boycott of Israel – and as two efforts to legislate against academic boycotts fail to move forward in the Illinois and Maryland state legislatures – the ASA has gained new members and support. Over the past several months, the ASA has welcomed more than 700 new members. The ASA has also collected more membership revenue in the past three months than in any other three-month period over the past quarter-century and its ongoing "Stand with the ASA"grassroots fundraising campaign has exceeded the association's expectations thus far.
Last week, South African Archbishop Desmond Tutu, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, released a statement in support of the ASA's boycott efforts. In it, he states that: "In South Africa,we could not have achieved our democracy without the help of people around the world, who through the use of non-violent means, such as boycotts and divestment, encouraged their governments and other corporate actors to reverse decades-long support for the Apartheid regime. ...The [anti-boycott] legislation being proposed in the United States would have made participation in a movement like the one that ended Apartheid in South Africa extremely difficult." The day before his statement was released, an Illinois State Senate Committee rejected a resolution condemning academic boycotts. A bill to defund universities that subsidize faculty associations with organizations supporting boycotts was also scuttled in Maryland, where non-binding condemnatory language was instead inserted into the budget bill.
Washington, DC – Today, the Make It Safe Coalition (MISC) marks the 25th anniversary of the Whistleblower Protection Act (WPA), the primary law ensuring freedom of speech and accountability in the federal workplace, and the model for occupational free speech globally.
The MISC statement reads:
The Whistleblower Protection Act continues to be a work in progress. Congress put off controversial decisions on court access and administrative due process hearings until completion of a four-year study. Also, notably, the WPA does not provide our military and most national security and intelligence community workers with protections. It is critical that the national security workforce – including contractors – have adequate protections for blowing the whistle on wrongdoing. Thanks to Congressional whistleblower and government accountability advocates, legislation is now moving through Congress that would address some of this unfinished business.
The story of "post colonial" begins on August 17, 1945 when Sukarno declared Indonesia an independent and independent and free nation. The Dutch colonization of Indonesia had begun in 1602 with the establishment of the Dutch East India Company. The Dutch controlled all aspects of Indonesian life and its great wealth of natural resources including its vast quantities of oil and natural gas until the Japanese military invaded in 1942. Sukarno became the newly independent Indonesia's first president in 1945. Much of Sukarno's popularity came from his strong opposition to colonialism and the exploitation of people and resources in poor and exploited lands. President Sukarno, ten years after becoming president of Indonesia, held a conference April 18-24 of 1955, the Bandung Conference to encourage and map out strategies for independent economic and social development free from the control or dictates of any European country, the U.S. or the USSR. Attendees of the first Bandung Conference included Burma, Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), India, Indonesia, Pakistan. It was also attended by 18 other countries from Asia-Afghanistan, Cambodia, the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, Iran, Iraq, Japan, Jordan, Laos, Lebanon, Nepal, Peoples Republic of China, Philippines, Saudi Arabia, South Vietnam, Syria, Thailand, Turkey and Yemen. From Africa there was Egypt, Ethiopia, Gold Coast (now Ghana), Liberia, Libya and Sudan.
Washington, D.C. – Today, Sen. Ben Cardin (D-Md.) and Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.) introduced the Democracy Restoration Act, which would restore voting rights in federal elections to nearly 4.4 million Americans citizens with criminal convictions in their past.
Based on a Brennan Center proposal, the bill builds on recent support for rights restoration. In February, U.S Attorney General Eric Holder called on states to restore voting rights. But 35 states continue to disenfranchise people after they are released from prison. The Democracy Restoration Act would restore voting rights to these citizens for federal elections.
"Voting is the cornerstone of American democracy," said Nicole Austin-Hillery, director and counsel of the Center's Washington, D.C., office. "Restoring voting rights to citizens who have served their time will strengthen our democracy.Congress should move quickly to pass this bill and ensure our voting system is free, fair, and accessible to all eligible Americans."
"Secretary Kerry? It's Ukraine on the phone asking about liberation again. Have you been able to get them a reference letter yet from Libya or Iraq or Afghanistan? How about Vietnam? Panama? Grenada? Kosovo maybe? Ukraine says Syria says you have a reference letter in the works from Kosovo. No? Huh. They said they'd accept one from Korea or the Dominican Republic or Iran. No? Guatemala? The Philippines? Cuba? Congo? How about Haiti? They say you promised them a glowing reference from Haiti. Oh. They did? No, I am not laughing, Sir. What about East Timor? Oh? Oh! Sir, you're going to liberate the what out of them? Yes sir, I think you'd better tell them yourself."
Some nations the United States should probably not liberate -- except perhaps the 175 nations which could be liberated from the presence of U.S. soldiers. But one nation I would make an exception for, and that is the nation of Hawai'i.
US Secretary of State John Kerry couldn't hide his frustration anymore as the US-sponsored peace process continued to falter. After 8 months of wrangling to push talks between Israel and the Palestinian Authority forward, he admitted while in a visit to Morocco on April 04 that the latest setback had served as a 'reality check' for the peace process. But confining that reality check to the peace process is hardly representative of the painful reality through which the United States has been forced to subsist in during the last few years.
The state of US foreign policy in the Middle East, but also around the world, cannot be described with any buoyant language. In some instances, as in Syria, Libya, Egypt, the Ukraine, and most recently in Palestine and Israel, too many calamitous scenarios have exposed the fault lines of US foreign policy. The succession of crises is not allowing the US to cut its losses in the Middle East and stage a calculated 'pivot' to Asia following its disastrous Iraq war.
The California Senate Committee on Natural Resources and Water on April 8 passed SB 1132, legislation that will place a moratorium on fracking (hydraulic fracturing) and well stimulation until the state fully studies the impact of the oil extraction on California's air and water quality, public health and economy.
The bill, authored by Senator Holly Mitchell and Senator Mark Leno, will next be considered by the Senate Environmental Quality Committee on April 30t 2014.
The legislation, approved by a 5 to 2 vote as anti-fracking activists packed the State Captiol hearing room, would expand the current study focused on the environmental and public health effects of fracking to include the economic costs and harms, effects on private property and land use, and risks to worker safety, according to a statement from a coalition of groups.
It's crazy time again in Cleveland. Lake Erie has thawed. The snow has finally melted. Baseball season is underway. Once again the perennial argument over the Cleveland Indians team logo is heating up. As Washington Redskin fans debate the political correctness of their team name, Indians fans and detractors grapple with the propriety of the grinning visage of Chief Wahoo, official face of the Indians.
It's beyond odd that Indians fans are having this debate in 2014. And getting emotional about whether or not the Chief Wahoo logo is or is not offensive. If history did not exist - that is, if Europeans had not flooded into North America killing and dispossessing every last indigenous person in their way, men women and children - then we might be able to take this debate seriously. But they did. So Chief Wahoo is the smiling face of genocide and that grin on his face very much resembles the skeletal smile of the Mexican calavera, a satirical dig at folks who take themselves so very seriously when we all know where we're all headed. Of course as many people like to deny the future as they do the past.

Hello Ramila, my trip was wonderful. Except for a small misunderstanding on a payment on my first day, everything was smooth.
I continue to be amazed at the professionalism of your guides. I hope you will tell "Vlada", "Alina" and "Igor" thank you for making my trip memorable. Igor especially went above and beyond the call of duty. He is a superb guide and you do not want to lose him. I hope I will be able to meet him again.
I may return to Kamyanets again next year for personal reasons. I will need help with hotel reservations, pick up at the airport, and train tickets.
This has been my 4th trip to the Ukraine and it now feels like my second home. All I need now is a Ukrainian wife!!!!!!
Thank you again for your excellent service,
Daniel Razo, USA
