A woman who reportedly armed herself during a Coteau road domestic dispute Wednesday night told investigating Terrebonne Sheriff's deputies she put the gun away before the fight began.
Sabrina Antionette Hubbard, 27, 1225 Coteau Road, was jailed on charges of disturbing the peace by fighting and aggravated assault with a firearm.
Reports said the difficulties began when Louella Lebeouf arrived at a Janabeth street address about 8 p.m. to see her boyfriend. When she discovered he was sitting in a truck with Hubbard, she reportedly yelled for him to get out. Hubbard reportedly responded by going inside, getting the handgun, and waving it in the direction of Lebeouf.
A later fight between Hubbard and Lebeouf reportedy did not involve weapons.
Louella Lebeouf, 51, 206 Hellier St., Houma, was issued a summons charging her with disturbing the peace by fighting.

Different sizes front and back
This is the bodice lining of Vogue 8667 basted together. I made a muslin of this pattern last week but was had problems with the fit of the back.
This is my original muslin with the gapping at the back armhole and excess fabric folds on the back neckline.
The main difference between the muslin and the lining fabric version is that I cut the lining fabric back out a size smaller than the front on the neckline, armscye, and princess seam lines. I used my usual size for the side seam lines. This has made a big improvement to the fit around the shoulders. I've heard of cutting out different sizes for your top and bottom halves and blending them, but never cutting different sizes for the front and the back.
So now I'm going to make the lining up properly before starting on the rest. Normally I do the fashion fabric first and by the time I get to the lining I am a bit bored, so I'm hoping that doing it this way round will make the process more interesting. And it enables me to put off tackling the rather intimidating 100% wool fashion fabric a bit longer. Incidentally, I measured it after my attempts at preshrinking and it hasn't changed size at all, so I'm wondering exactly what will happen when I clean the dress. But that's getting ahead of myself. I have to make the dress first!

So…those seams in the top pic are not princess seams? They are actually the side seams, but sort of skewed round to the back? Or am I seeing it wrong? Or am I seeing it right, but the seams end up down the sides when it's being worn? Whichever it is, it's a good idea. Even if the seams do end up further back, I think it will be an interesting effect. But will your side seams on the skirt part still line up? Or doesn't the skirt bit have side seams? Or am I talking rubbish?
Good idea to do the lining first. I get bored, too, so I may adopt that idea.
Sorry, I really should pay more attention before I make a comment! Now I see everything I said is totally irrelevant. Oh dear, they are princess seams, and you have it all completely under control.
Silly me!

The summary below is from the full report titled "Sex Differences in 2-Year Mortality after Hospital Discharge for Myocardial Infarction." It is in the 6 February 2001 issue of Annals of Internal Medicine (volume 134, pages 173-181). The authors are V Vaccarino, HM Krumholz, J Yarzebski, JM Gore, and RJ Goldberg.
Acute myocardial infarction, more commonly known as heart attack, is a condition in which the blood vessels that supply blood to the heart muscle become blocked. If blood flow is blocked for long enough, a part of the heart muscle dies and is replaced by scar tissue. When large areas of the heart or special areas that control heart rhythms are involved, heart attacks can be deadly. Women younger than 60 years of age are more likely than men younger than 60 years of age to die while in the hospital after suffering a heart attack. This sex difference in death in the hospital following heart attacks does not exist in older patients. It is not known, however, whether women who have had heart attacks do better or worse than men during the years after they leave the hospital.
To find out how women do compared with men during the 2 years following hospitalization for a heart attack.
6826 patients who were hospitalized for a heart attack in 16 hospitals in Worcester, Massachusetts, between 1975 and 1995 and lived long enough to leave the hospital.
The researchers reviewed hospital records and death certificates to see which patients died during the 2 years following hospital discharge after a heart attack.
Overall, about 30% of the women and about 20% of the men died during the 2 years of follow-up after hospitalization for a heart attack. However, death rates for women were higher than those for men only among patients younger than 60 years of age. Death rates were similar in men and women aged 60 to 79. Among patients older than 80 years, women were less likely to have died than men.
This study does not tell us why younger women have worse outcomes than men. The researchers did not have information on other potentially important risk factors, such as smoking or types of cardiac treatments during the 2 years of follow-up, that might explain the differences between men and women in risk for death. Also, the results might be different today because different therapies are now available.
Younger women who have a heart attack do worse than men. Further studies are needed to explain the reason for this and to develop ways to improve outcomes in younger women after heart attacks.

A drone makes large circles in the sky. With two powerful antennas, it sniffs the data packets emitted by mobile phones. On the ground, an interface developed specifically for this project makes it possible to track the flight of a small robotic aircraft in real time from a computer. Colored dots visible on the screen map indicate the spotted phones. The vehicle tightens its flight around the selected device to indicate its position. "In the best tests we have performed, the place indicated was within 10 meters," says Jonathan Cheseaux who worked on this project for his master's degree.
Following an earthquake or another natural disaster, it is often difficult to know the position of victims under the rubble. At a time when most people, even in poor countries, have a mobile phone, the team of Mobile Communications Laboratory had the idea of using them to know the position of victims and thereby facilitate a search. When WiFi mode is activated, the devices emit data packets at regular intervals so that it's possible to know various parameters, including the power received by the antenna connection. This can vary depending on the surrounding terrain, the weather or interference. It is also weaker as the layer of rubble over a person is thicker—another important factor.
But there is little similarity between these signals and a distance in meters that would make it possible to know directly the position of the device. With the drone, it is the GPS points of the captured signals from several places that locate the phone. These benchmarks are considered the center of circles which could potentially find the phone. The intersection of the latter determines the location of the phone and, therefore, probably the person. "By refining the system to automatically eliminate weaker signals, the system has become even more accurate," explains the master's student. "Flight tests have located a cell phone on campus with high accuracy."
"The drone's WiFi antenna could be replaced by Avalanche Victim Detectors (DVA) which would enable the rapid and inexpensive deployment of the first avalanche searches," predicts the student, who is also an amateur mountaineer.
In the second part of his work, Jonathan Cheseaux also noted the challenge of connecting to the WiFi network of a device through the drone – without human intervention. An antenna on the plane permits the device to guess the identity of the router that connects the phone and then pretends to be it. It can thereby establish communication. "In the case of natural disasters mentioned above, it would provide a substitution network when connections have been destroyed," he says. But for now, this system only works if the network is open and not password protected. This work has also helped highlight issues of confidentiality and the protection of private data. Recovering the names of registered WiFi (SSID) by a smartphone is done to establish the habits of owners. For example, it may have a list of "EPFL," "Fitness," "Café-so," "House," et cetera. The MAC address, a unique identifier, can also be recovered by the drones. It identifies the device brand and deconstructs statistics on the distribution of smartphone / router / printer brands.

By Mr. Mark Diamond (SDDC)November 15, 2012
SCOTT AIR FORCE BASE, Ill. -- Carol Sinnard, a contract specialist assigned to Military Surface Deployment and Distribution Command's Acquisition Center, was recently named Hq. SDDC Outstanding Performer of the Quarter.
According to Karen E. Osborn, chief of contracting, SDDC Acquisition Center, Sinnard "truly set the standard for government professionals" during a time of shrinking budgets and fiscal constraints.
According to Osborn, Sinnard -- wearing her "business advisor hat" -- went above and beyond in coaching her Defense Personal Property Program customers in the development of their requirements package. "She provided guidance and training, and her hands-on efforts ensured an exceptionally well-defined Performance Work Statement that greatly increased the opportunity for competition and set the stage for an $11million savings," Osborn added.
According to the AQ director, Sinnard mentored her customers in the proposal evaluation and source selection processes, and worked closely with them during source selection, ensuring a timely and accurate proposal evaluation. "In fact," Osborn added, "the source selection process went so exceptionally well that the [Staff Judge Advocate] contracts attorney stated it was 'the best source selection' she had seen."
Sinnard's work didn't stop there.
"Following the contract award, Carol diligently worked with her customers, as well as both the new and old contractors, to develop a contract transition plan," Osborn explained. "She again used her expert contract administration skills to negotiate a $63,000 savings for this transition plan. Her hands-on approach and attention to detail also assured a smooth transition, with no impact to service support of the DP3 program."
Osborn added that Sinnard accomplished all of this while continuing to perform her already full workload of contract administration duties for the Consolidated Web Capabilities, Information Assurance, and DP3 contracts, which total more than $26 million.
"This was the SDDC Contracting Center's most challenging fiscal-year-end ever, and Carol was a top contributor to its success while simultaneously juggling eight other year-end procurement actions," Osborn said. "Her efforts were certainly instrumental in SDDC AQ's success in award of all contract requirements for the last quarter of fiscal 2012."

Laws of Power 33: Redefine Leverage
By Karen S. Walch
A classic slogan about negotiation leverage involves how to get others to do the work for you, but always taking the credit for yourself. It is important in this classic law of power to leverage the knowledge and "legwork" of others to solely advance your own interests. This manipulation tactic saves you valuable time and energy. By leveraging others' support, you can be the negotiation winner while others will soon be forgotten. This week's law will explore how leverage in the 21st century can be enhanced not by manipulating the support of others in order to win, but by supporting others to win as a strategy to win yourself.
Law 33 concludes our series on leverage by redefining its sources and application in the contemporary negotiation environment.
In the last several weeks, we have explored how "leverage," as a noun, can be measured and, as a verb, can be applied. There has been a fundamental shift since the genesis of the classic laws of power in the meaning and practice of leverage from "power over" others in a negotiation toward "power with" others.
Today, negotiation leverage increasingly involves social capital or influence as a measurable resource and as an ability to engage others in problem solving negotiation processes in order to win sustainable and satisfying outcomes.
As we conclude our focus on leverage, it is interesting to note the root of this word, which is lever. A lever is used to elevate (French a levant) something by utilizing a very simple machine idea with a focal point or fulcrum that can be used to lift or move a load or weight. I have witnessed many negotiators today who may have considered themselves weak or vulnerable in a negotiation, but were able to elevate themselves out of a powerless situation through focused negotiation skills.
Several examples have been shared throughout the Laws of Power, but this week I draw on themes from women in developing economies. I like to use women from developing countries for leverage examples because in a structural sense these women have the least amount of traditional leverage there is in the global economy. They also happen to provide some of the most powerful illustrations of how leverage can be uncovered and utilized despite all the systemic odds against them.
I had an opportunity last week to participate with several educators in the Strengthening Women Entrepreneurs in Peru Program. This project provides business training and access to capital to thousands of Peruvian women. The program administration is a practical example of how to leverage resources and knowledge through the cooperation between Thunderbird, the Inter-American Development Bank, Goldman Sachs, Mibanco, Universidad del Pacificio and the Australian Government. Since micro and small enterprises generate half of Peru's GDP, comprise 98% of all the businesses in Peru, and women own and operate over 40% of these enterprises, these organizations have committed to support women as a way to create more "wins" for all members of global economy.
An improvement in the status of women is one of most critical levers of international development. Microfinance and the cooperation of both the public and private sector organizations can yield significant support for women in developing economies through education and investment. Many multinational corporate leaders understand that empowering women in developing economies affects their bottom lines.
Goldman Sachs, for example, has committed its own resources behind global female empowerment with its 10,000 Women project. This program, and others like it, asserts that this is a good business investment because closing employment gender gaps in emerging markets stimulates global market growth. The World Bank for several decades has made the economic case that education and economic empowerment for women is primary to a growing and sustainable world economy.
These positive leverage practices are in sharp contrast to traditional negative leverage practices which often result in the suffering of a counterpart. Positive leverage examples like these illustrate the power of a negotiator's willingness and skill in providing support for others while advancing one's own interest.
Although the bargaining power of women in developing countries has been persistently and traditionally very weak, there is increasing support for their participation in the local and global economy. The recognition of women's inequality and weak bargaining power in not only Peru, but also the rest of the world market has been a significant normative change in the evaluation of who 'wins' in the contemporary marketplace.
As a negotiator today, recognize how to utilize your positive leverage in getting what you need from a negotiation partner. The sources and application of negative leverage of coercion and manipulation tactics have limitations and are not as effective as positive leverage in the context of complex social relationships. The successful exercise of your leverage is represented in your ability to bring about or support others to achieve not only their own goals, but also your own even in a limited resource world. As you redefine your leverage in your next negotiation, remember what Archimedes, the inventor of the lever, said in the 3rd century BC: "Give me a place to stand, and I shall move the earth".
Law 33 Exercise
1. Assess how success can be defined by you and your negotiation counterpart.
2. Request and share resources and skills which are necessary for the achievement of your goals in the context of the relationship.
3. Engage in problem solving with your negotiation partner to create solutions you may not have thought of alone.

It's cold and flu season and we can always seem to feel it coming on. There isn't a cure, but chicken soup really can help! Apparently, the compounds in broth help to calm the immune cells that contribute to the inflammatory symptoms like body aches.
If you add some other ingredients, you can get a few more benefits:
- Add garlic if you are feeling really stuffed up.
- If you are having trouble sleeping, add rice. Eat a bowl a couple of hours before bed for the starchy carbs to fall asleep sooner and sleep more soundly.
- No surprise here, but if you are feeling a bit queasy, add some minced ginger.
For more facts, and tips for a speedy recovery, listen to You and the Flu. Here is to you and a healthy winter - bowl's up!

This course will contribute to the renewed emphasis on the medical home model and patient-centered communication in medical education and practice; and, while providing training in the ambulatory setting is designed to have application in other patient care settings (ED, hospital, chronic care facility, home).
Course Outline:
1. Brief outline
This is a 4 week elective experience for fourth year medical students working in pairs seeing patients in the outpatient setting under the guidance of faculty preceptors. Students take turns in the roles of interviewer/examiner v. observer for these taped encounters, compose a computer-edited narrative summary of selected portions of their taped encounters, construct a separate doctor-patient communications tape, and receive added didactic training on advanced elements of the doctor-patient relationship & patient-centered communication.
This advanced communications elective was first implemented over a decade ago at the University of Washington (Seattle, WA) by Larry Mauksch (MEd; Department of Family Medicine). Mr. Mauksch received grant funding to disseminate the POVE elective to other medical schools.
Penn State College of Medicine was selected as a participant school and Dr. Peter Lewis as its site course director.

Well, Good morning readers! Have we got a treat for you today! Remember way back in June (My! How time flies!) when we shared the Wedding Tea Towel with you? Well, today we get to exclusively show you their new design range… and I don't mind saying, they are fabulous!! The range launches today on their site so do head on over and have a look around (in the Gallery) if you're still uuming and ahhing about Save the Dates or Invites.
Always a brilliant idea, the Tea Towels started off with a very individual style, which unique though it was, was quite specific. Since expanding the range there are heaps of new designs in really varied styles to suit nearly every type of wedding you can imagine!
Via Email, Karen from Wedding Tea Towels told me about the inspiration behind the new designs…
'We have teamed up with some of our amazing designer buddies and asked them to create their own designs so they are in a totally different style to our original designs and they are just brilliant!'
I'm absolutely thrilled Wedding Tea Towels have expanded their range of designs, particularly as they make a great way of being eco friendly in your wedding choices. Previously being suited to quite a relaxed and rustic style of wedding, there are now options which lend themselves to a more traditional day in the elegant scrolling design above, or the majestic Peacocks below.
Vintage wedding? Try the postcard design (particularly clever when it arrives in the post I think!) Or if you're still looking for a really fun vibe, the top two designs would be hard to beat.
So can we tempt you readers?
As ever, let us know your thoughts on the new designs and if you'll be considering them for your wedding….
Yours Truly,
P.S Real wedding pretty coming up ASAP lovelies!

Open Source Evangelist in the Making
,----[ Quote ]
| THE name Raj Kissu Rajendran may not ring a bell among the local information
| and communications technology fraternity now, but the software engineering
| student of Asia Pacific Institute of Information Technology could well be a
| household name in the future. With a passion for software programming, he
| recently became one of the first locals to take part in the highly recognised
| Google Summer of Code programme. Izwan Ismail finds out more.
| [...]
| Q: Do you have any idol(s) from the software programming space?
| A: There are two whom I admire a lot: Richard Stallman and Jon Postel.
| Stallman started the free software movement and is author of the GNU General
| Public License, which is the most popular free software licence available
| today.
| I admire Postel because of his work in the area of RFCs (Request for
| Comments). RFC is important as it dictates how the Internet and similar
| networks should work. It's like the bible for people who develop the Internet
| and similar networks.
It's becoming clear that developers now gravitate towards FOSS.
Assessing the Size of the Free Software Movement
,----[ Quote ]
| Did you know that there are at least 32 organizations in 3 continents and 10
| countries? Did you know there are a number of GNU/Linux User Groups - as
| opposed to Linux User Groups? Whether it is hardware, GIS or music, there are
| a variety of organizations closely aligned with the Free Software
| Foundation/GNU Project in purpose and spirit. Â* Â*
FSF prepares a new "Libre Planet" campaign

| In a letter that recently came with Free Software Foundation's Bulletin Peter

Newest FSF board member Hill discusses free software goals
,----[ Quote ]
| Best known for his many roles in Debian, Hill is also a member of the Ubuntu
| Community Council, an advisor to One Laptop Per Child, a director of Software
| Freedom International, and the originator of several free software
| projects -- to say nothing of an active voice for the Free Culture Movement,
| and the occasional organizer of such activities as last fall's iPod

In the late- and post-silicon eras, variation of all nanometer processes will continue to increase significantly. The industry is gradually addressing this situation and exposing more variability information to the designer. According to the Gigascale Systems Research Center, the deterministic era will be over for most on-chip applications and alternatives must be found. The author of this sidebar looks forward to the time when the two will meet: when more revolutionary design techniques will find their way into practical designs, and when one of the computational paradigms will suddenly be needed to cope with an unexpected surge in variability or reliability in a particular design or technology.

Daniel Deronda
by George Eliot
Character Clues
Character Analysis
Speech and Dialogue
One of the most interesting ways that George Eliot helps us learn more about the characters of the novel is by drawing attention to the ways in which they communicate with one another. The character with whom we see speech used most frequently as a characterization tool is Gwendolen. We watch Gwen transform over the course of the novel from a proud, spoiled, and often-thoughtless girl to someone who becomes more and more introspective and thoughtful. In instances where we see how mean Gwendolen can be, we often see the narrator draw attention to what Gwendolen says. She speaks her mind without thinking about how her words affect others. When she meets Grandcourt, though, she learns that she's not as powerful with him as she is with other people. How does the narrator show us this change? By pointing out how for the first time Gwendolen pays careful attention to the words that come out of her mouth. When things get really bad with Grandcourt, Gwendolen doesn't feel like she can speak at all.
Physical Appearances
Daniel Deronda is a book that pays a lot of attention to "otherness," and one of the major ways that the narrator achieves this effect is by taking a close look at the way that certain characters appear physically. Most of the characters in Daniel Deronda are high-society British people, and we actually don't get too much description of what they look like except for trivial details – some of them are fat, some of them are tall, and some of them have white hair. Some of them look young, and some of them look wrinkled. The takeaway seems to be that it's a pretty homogeneous society. Then we get characters like Klesmer and Mordecai who just don't seem to fit in, and we get a lot of descriptions of their interesting appearances. They're just different. In fact, the narrator comes out and says that they stand out. Klesmer has wild hair and an exotic look about him; Mordecai has piercing, intense eyes and yellowish skin. We might have a hard time imagining what some of the characters of this novel look like, but that's definitely not the case with these two. By making these guys stand out to us, the narrator helps us to remember that they also stand out in the society in which they live.
Family Life
We don't just know the characters of the novel as individuals – we also know them in terms of the family to which they belong. The ways that the characters interact with their families shows us a lot about who they are, both as individuals and as part of a group. Let's take Gwendolen, for instance. We learn so much about her personality through the way that she treats her mother and her sisters. Sure, we know that Gwendolen likes nice things and that she loves to be spoiled, but we see really get the best sense of just how spoiled Gwendolen is when we see her interact with the other members of her family. She is so dismissive of her sisters that even we start to think that they don't really matter all that much. Gwendolen's mom also lets her boss her around, largely because Gwendolen reminds her of a happier time in her life. She's willing to give her whatever she wants.
We won't go into detail about every single family in the novel, but one interesting thing to think about while you're reading Daniel Deronda and getting to know the characters is that, for every "traditional" Mom-Dad-and-the-Kids family we get, we also see a fair number of fractured or nontraditional families. Sir Hugo adopts Daniel even before he marries Lady Mallinger; Lydia Glasher has four kids out of wedlock; Mrs. Meyrick and Mrs. Davilow are both widowed; Mirah's family is split in half when her dad steals her away. The characters of the novel often feel a strong sense of obligation to their family members, but their attitudes toward themselves and others are often shaped by both their positive and negative experiences in their families.

News :: Historic B-17 on display in area; tours, flights available to public
· 9:47pm June 5th, 2014
If you like American history, military history, airplanes, aviation history and/or tributes to American veterans, an event in Eastern Iowa this weekend offers something that will inspire you in all of these pursuits, and more.
The Aluminum Overcast, a B-17 bomber made at the end of World War Ii, is on display at the Eastern Iowa Airport in Cedar Rapids.
Pilot Rick Fernalld and co-pilot Lorraine Morris, along with a few other volunteers from the Experimental Aircraft Association, arrived in Cedar Rapids yesterday and will remain until Sunday. The EAA Chapter 33 is the host agency; Benton County resident Tim Busch is leading that organization and is the local leader for this event.
While some people have made reservations on-line, plenty of walk-up space for tours and flights is still available. The pilots and tour guides also share a variety of history lessons about the B-17, the service personnel who flew it, and other related topics.
Call the onsite crew at 920-371-2244 for more information.
Flights take place from 1-5 p.m.; ground tours 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday through Sunday.

Our assurance as Christians is that nothing, not even death shall separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus Our Lord.
Taken from An Outline of the Faith page 845 The Book of Common Prayer
Q. What Are we by nature?
A. We are part of God's creation, made in the image of God.
Q. What does it mean to be created in the image of God?
A. It means that we are free to make choices: to love, to create, to reason, and to live in harmony with creation and with God.
Q Why then do we live apart from God and out of harmony with creation?
A. From the beginning, human beings have misused their freedom and made wrong choices.
Q. What help is there for us?
A. Our help is in God
Q. How did God first help us?
A. God first helped us by revealing himself and his will through nature, and history, though many seers and saints, and especially through the prophets of Israel.
Q. What is the nature of God revealed in Jesus?
A. God is love.
Q. What does this mean?
A. It means that the universe is good, that it is the work of a single loving God who creates, sustains, and directs it.
Q. What does it mean about human life?
A. It means that all people are worthy of respect and honor, because all are created in the image of God, and all can respond to the love of God.
This is a brief outline of some of what we believe, and is not meant to be a complete statement of our faith. If you seek more information please ask.
What do we mean when we say We Believe Out Loud.
Faith is a journey that reveals the new and unexpected everyday. Just as Abraham set forth on a journey in response to God's call, we are travelers on an unknown, wondrous and sometimes frightening path.
Each of us is made in God's image – beautiful and beloved, unique and whole.
The greatest commandment is love. We strive to love God with all our hearts, all our minds and all our souls and to love our neighbors as ourselves.
Jesus teaches us to welcome all. We believe our churches and society should do the same. We work for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender equality because God calls us to do justice and love kindness.
One day, all of us – regardless of sexual orientation and gender identity – will be treated as equals in our families, our churches and our communities.

39% of Brits believe homes should be sold to pay for care
Published by Anonymous for 24dash.com in Care and Support and also in Finance, Housing
Elderly 'struggling to exist' in own homes, says Midland Heart
Well over a third (39%) of over-45s believe that those who can sell their homes to pay for care should, a survey has revealed.
And Partnership, a provider of financial solutions for people with health conditions, also found that only 33% of people expect to rely on state funding if they go into care – the lowest proportion in three years.
This is significantly lower than 2012, when 51% expected to rely on the state.
In addition, almost half (47%) said that the state should not be helping people who could meet their care costs from their own savings.
However, those polled did recognise that not everyone could afford the average £28,600 annual cost and the vast majority (79%) said that the state should step in and pick up the bill for those who genuinely could not afford it.
When asked how they might fund their own care, property continued to play a significant role with 35% planning to sell their home and 11% suggesting they might rent it out.
In addition, people said they would use their pension income (34%), their savings (29%) or income from savings and investments (16%).
Thomas Kenny, head of technical pricing at Partnership, said: "With a rapidly aging population and an estimated 150,000 entering care each year, taxpayers simply can't afford to meet these costs for everyone.
"So it is good news for the country that people are increasingly expecting to meet some of the costs themselves and for others to do the same. This means that the State can focus on helping those who are most vulnerable and in need of state support.
"That said, £28,600 is a large amount of money for anyone to find – especially for those who are on a fixed income as many retirees are. Therefore, the choice to sell their home may well be the best one for their circumstances but we would advise anyone who is facing this choice to get specialist financial advice to help them to make the most of their assets."

Security Council Adopts U.S. Plan for Iraq in 15-0 Vote
By FELICITY BARRINGER and KIRK SEMPLE
Published: October 16, 2003
UNITED NATIONS, Oct. 16 — The Security Council voted unanimously today to adopt a resolution on the future of Iraq, handing the United States a major diplomatic victory in its campaign to gather wider international contributions of troops and money for the rebuilding effort.
Russia, France and Germany, all of which opposed the war and had been threatening to abstain from today's vote, agreed to back the measure, saying they were acting in the interest of council unity.
But after the 10:50 a.m. vote, they conveyed their disappointment that the resolution did not go further toward meeting their concerns, among them that there should be a quicker transfer of power from the American-led occupying force to the Iraqis. They also said they would not commit to further military and financial support for Iraq beyond the commitments they had already made.
Pakistan also joined Russia, France and Germany in saying it would not contribute troops to the occupation.
But despite the various misgivings of the council members, the United States ambassador to the United Nations, John D. Negroponte, said the resolution "offers a solid base for expanded international engagement" in Iraq.
President Bush, speaking in San Bernardino, Calif., thanked the Security Council "for unanimously passing a resolution supporting our efforts to build a peaceful and free Iraq."
The resolution authorizes the creation of a multinational occupying force under the command of the United States; requests international contributions to that force and to the reconstruction; gives the United Nations an expanded but still-subordinate role in helping the political transition; and establishes a deadline of Dec. 15 for the Iraqi Governing Council to provide the Security Council with a timetable for drafting a new constitution and holding elections.
Finally, the resolution, in effect, endorses a political transition under the control of the American-led occupation authority, which had been a major point of contention between the United States and reluctant council members.
The vote capped six weeks of diplomatic wrangling, which Mr. Negroponte described as a "very intense experience." American officials had been concerned that the resolution might get only the minimum nine votes needed for adoption with the remaining members abstaining. Such a narrow victory would have been a major blow to the Bush administration's efforts to recruit more international help in Iraq.
"If we had a bare majority — say, nine votes in favor and six abstentions — it would not have been a good thing," Mr. Negroponte told reporters.
The practical impact of the resolution may become apparent as soon as next week at a donors conference in Madrid at which the United States and Britain hope to receive concrete commitments of troops and money from other countries. Mr. Negroponte said that several countries had been waiting for the passage of the United Nations resolution before they would commit any resources to Iraq. The resolution, he said, "provides the framework for others to make contributions."
But the resolution papers over the fundamental differences dividing the United States from many council members, who felt that the measure should have set more restrictive deadlines for a quicker transfer of responsibilities from the coalition authorities to the Iraqis, and should have given the United Nations a stronger role in the oversight of Iraq during the transition.
"We miss the clear signal that the transfer of sovereignty to the Iraqis will be accelerated," Germany's ambassador to the United Nations, Gunter Pleuger, told the council.
In a joint statement after the vote, the ambassadors of France, Germany and Russia said, "The conditions are not created for us to envisage any military commitment and no further financial contributions beyond our present engagement."
Pakistan's ambassador to the United Nations, Munir Akram, said his major contention was that a United States-led multinational force created by the resolution does not have "a separate and distinct identity" from the coalition forces.
But the reluctant countries all cited the need for a united front at the Security Council to achieve progress in Iraq.
Mr. Pleuger said that the members "share the same goals in Iraq, and that is to contribute to a swift stabilization of the conditions in Iraq, to support the political and economic reconstruction process in Iraq, and to promote the restoration of sovereignty of the Iraqi people through a government democratically elected by them."
He added: "This can only succeed when the Security Council appears as unified as possible. We, therefore, did not want to stand in the way of unity of the Security Council."
The agreement between Germany, France and Russia to approve the resolution came after a 45-minute conference call between the three countries' leaders: Chancellor Gerhard Schröder of Germany, President Jacques Chirac of France and President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia.
Washington agreed late on Wednesday to postpone the vote until today to allow for more diplomacy.

View the original review at: http://www.countryweekly.com/reviews/you-win-again-exile
Hey, who's that guy belting out those country ballads like a pro? Sounds a lot like Van Morrison of "Brown Eyed Girl" fame. The rock 'n' roll legend nails these vocals with a depth and sincerity that, believe it or not, vault him smack dab into country mainstream. And who's pounding piano on the pulsating intros for "Let's Talk About Us" and "Jambalaya"? Jerry Lee Lewis? Close, but no cigar - it's his sister, Linda Gail, who has somehow survived a lifetime of being The Killer's little sis.
In one of music's most unlikely pairings since Kid Rock and David Allan Coe, these two talents merge to create a most compelling album. While eschewing attention to hair, nails and designer gowns in efforts to become the next country-turned-pop diva goddess, Linda Gail keeps it pure country with no softening of her pure-bred vocal approach.
The strange harmony turns magical during this eclectic gumbo that ranges from the Hank Williams title tune to the down-and-dirty "A Shot Of Rhythm & Blues" and the funky beat of John Lee Hooker's "Boogie Chillen."
Linda Gail carries off the R&B riffs as effectively as her partner Van ventures into country-vocalist mode.
Though their duets often sound as though they were recorded in separate studios, there's a sizzling synchronicity here that merges these barnyard and boogie chillen together into one formidable album.
