PARKERSBURG - A city resident would have to spend $1,000 a week on items other than food and gasoline for a proposed 1 percent sales tax and accompanying cut on the business and occupation tax for utilities to be a losing proposition, Mayor Bob Newell said.
"You'd have to purchase that much a week to be giving more back in the sales tax than you're getting back from the B&O tax," he said during his message to Parkersburg City Council during its regular meeting Tuesday.
Newell presented council members with a copy of the city's application to the state's home rule program, which is due June 1. It includes implementation of the sales tax and elimination of the B&O on natural gas and electric, light and power, as well as manufacturing. Retail B&O would be cut by 30 percent.

The utility taxes, by law, can be passed on to customers, so elimination of them will result in lower bills. Newell said the cut will save customers $1.2 million a year, which is more than the savings if the city eliminated its police fee.
"That goes back to the citizens," he said.
The proposal has drawn criticism from some because it removes taxes on businesses and increases the sales tax for consumers. But Newell and others have pointed out the B&O is charged whether a business turns a profit or not and the sales tax draws from a wider base, including visitors to the city.
Fact Box
Next Meeting
* 7:30 p.m. April 15, council chambers, second floor, Municipal Building.
Food and gasoline are not subject to the sales tax.
The mayor also said the city received multiple calls Tuesday from people concerned about reports of Coldwater Creek's plans to file for bankruptcy and liquidate. The company's East Coast Distribution Center is at the Parkersburg Business Park.
Newell noted there has been no official announcement. If the company did leave the facility, "it's not a minor issue," he said, but noted the Wood County Development Authority, which owns the building, is prepared to move quickly to find a new tenant.
"It would service any major entity in the country, quite frankly," he said.
In other business:
* Council voted 6-3 to reject a pair of ordinances that would have allowed the city to hire a qualified civilian as its chief fire inspector. Only council members Kim Coram, Jim Reed and John Rockhold supported the measure.
Newell had proposed the option of hiring a civilian due to a lack of interest from firefighters in taking the job. He attributes that to the fact that even though the position pays a higher hourly rate, they can make more on a 54-hour shift at a fire station than in a 40-hour, Monday-through-Friday schedule as inspector.
Members of Parkersburg Firefighters Local 91, the union representing the city's firefighters, opposed the change, saying a firefighter in the job could pitch in during serious incidents. They suggested making the pay more competitive with other cities to make it more appealing to department members.
Newell said after Tuesday's meeting he had no plans to propose a pay raise, noting the job makes $500 more in a year than a captain working 48 hours a week. If the inspector picked up a 24-hour shift, as Councilwoman Sharon Lynch suggested, he would be "making a super-inflated overtime rate" working alongside people of the same rank making less, the mayor said.
Councilman J.R. Carpenter, who voted against the measure, said he doesn't think a pay increase is necessary either, since working a 40-hour-a-week day shift also has value.
"Even in the private sector, there is a pay cut involved for time with your family," he said.
Carpenter said he felt the job should be filled by a firefighter "so that they can ride on the truck and respond to calls if needed."
* At a Finance Committee meeting earlier in the evening, city Development Director Rickie Yeager outlined the Community Development Block Grant and HOME Investment Partnership grant budgets, which are receiving less federal money than originally anticipated.
The CDBG entitlement dropped 3.8 percent to $784,820, while the HOME funds decreased nearly 3 percent, to $264,181. That means less of the administrative costs will come from the allotments and new money won't be put into programs like wheelchair-accessible curb cuts and facade improvements, he said.
* Council's Public Works Committee heard a presentation from a National League of Cities representative about a program to insure underground sewer, water and natural gas lines for residents. Committee members voted to consider whether to enter a partnership on the program, at no cost to the city, on May 20.

The health and care system from April 2013
Posted: Mon, 17 Sep 2012 14:25
The department of health has released a diagram that gives an overview of the new health and care system from April 2013. It illustrates the statutory bodies that will make up the new system, oriented around people and communities and where they receive their local health and care services. The illustration of local health services is indicative of a range of familiar settings for health and care services and is not intended to be comprehensive – the range of services available and the way in which they are delivered will vary according to local priorities.

The Government's controversial reforms to the NHS have now become law. The Health and Social Care Bill has gained Royal Assent to become the Health and Social Care Act (2012).
The core principles of the Act mean that doctors and nurses will be able to tailor services for their patients; more choice will be given to patients over how they are treated.

HealthWatch - NEW Government proposals
Posted: Mon, 05 Mar 2012 11:06
On Friday 2nd March the Department of Health announced new proposals for HealthWatch. They are to be debated by the House of Lords this week and assuming their approval HealthWatch Leicestershire will be established, by the County Council as a corporate body carrying out statutory functions, and there will be greater flexibility on how it is established. The County Council, in consultation with the LINk and the local community, will decide what HealthWatch Leicestershire should look like.
The Government has published 'Local Healthwatch: a stronger voice for people - the policy explained' which gives a lot more information.
We are looking forward to working with the County Council to make sure that HealthWatch Leicestershire really meets the aspirations of the LINk, and those of the people of Leicestershire when it is comes into being in April 2013. We will let you know more as the discussions develop.

Peers from the House of Lords will be meeting again on 8th February as the Bill progresses into the report stage. This is where changes to the Bill will be tabled and a detailed line by line examination of the Bill will take place. This could potentially last up until early March, which will then see the Bill move through to its third reading ( the final opportunity for the Lords to Debate and amend the Bill). We are now moving to our next phase of lobbying to ensure our views and concerns are heard in Parliament.

Health and Social Care Bill: Under Scrutiny
Posted: Thu, 13 Oct 2011 17:22
Saima Khan, Policy Officer
The House of Lords have now decided on two crucial amendments which would have resulted in the Health and Social Care Bill being delayed further or more so blocked entirely.
Peers voted 330 to 262 against an amendment which would have resulted in parts of the bill scrutinised in more detail at a special select committee. They also rejected Lord Rea's amendment to block the bill altogether. This was rejected by 354 votes to 220.
The Bill will now move to the committee stage and will be discussed in further detail on 25 October 2011.

When it comes to awards, timing can be everything. Just ask Michael Peevey, the longtime president of the California Public Utilities Commission and husband of Democratic state Sen. Carol Liu.
Last week, the Coalition of California Utilities Employees honored Peevey at a Sacramento confab for his "tireless work on system reliability and safety."
Which is dandy, except that it comes at a particularly sensitive time for Peevey and his agency.
Many question the PUC's regulatory resolve since the September 2010 Pacific Gas & Electric Co. gas pipeline explosion in San Bruno that killed eight and destroyed dozens of homes. State Sen. Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo, has called for Peevey's ouster over what he considers a culture of "complacency" and "incompetence" at the agency.
The PUC has been accused of a too-cozy relationship with utilities it regulates -- Peevey, appointed in 2002, is a former Southern California Edison president. And the PUC is now weighing PG&E penalties for San Bruno amid claims that it reassigned lawyers urging stiffer fines. That flap also flared last week. A legal paper reported the PUC's top lawyer got heckled by his staff for a speech at a regulatory attorney conference that they felt questioned their loyalty and judgment.
So when Peevey showed up at the Sacramento event, an NBC Bay Area team pounced. In a report that led off with a woman whose daughter died in the blast calling Peevey's acceptance of the award "appalling," the news team asked Peevey to respond on camera.
"They chose to honor me," Peevey replied. "I'm more than pleased to be with them. That's all I have to say to you."
He added when asked what he'd done in the name of safety that "the record is pretty clear" and walked away.
Peevey later explained to us in a statement that accepting the honor simply showed his support for organized labor.
"As someone who grew up in a strong union family and was myself a union official for seven years," Peevey said, "the recognition of my efforts by these unionists is very gratifying."
Developer says he will help pal Shirakawa
Of the many mysteries surrounding former Santa Clara County Supervisor George Shirakawa Jr., there are still plenty of unanswered questions as he awaits sentencing on charges of misusing campaign and county funds and faces new allegations of sending illegal campaign mail.
Like how he's paying his legal bills.
The legal defense fund he started in December still lists a lone $100 donation from " Shirakawa. But his top-flight legal team -- defense attorneys John Williams and Jay Rorty -- don't come cheap.
There's been some speculation from the George-haters that political consultants, lobbyists and developers hoping to keep a lid on whatever secrets the ex-supe might know about them are secretly picking up the tab.
We checked back with one developer and Shirakawa campaign contributor, John Vidovich, who told us in February that if Shirakawa asked him to donate to his legal fund, he would do so. So has he?
"I have not been asked to help out with the legal bills," said Vidovich, who acknowledged he wouldn't tell us even if he were. Shirakawa, he said, is a friend -- and he'll help him to an extent, though he wouldn't offer details.
"I think it's very common in this valley -- particularly on the political side of things -- to abandon people as soon as you have trouble," Vidovich said. "I am not ready to abandon him as a friend."
Vidovich said he has met with Shirakawa at least twice since he resigned, inside the developer's Sunnyvale offices. He said the former supervisor is embarrassed and ashamed of his actions. More importantly, he said, Shirakawa needs treatment for his gambling addiction, and the recent delay in his sentencing is impeding that.
Was Vidovich paying for any treatment, we wondered?
"Whatever I do for George is private," he said.
"Money will not help George. That's not the solution. If you're a gambling person, and you give them money, they are likely to gamble. If you can help them be productive, I think that's the best way you can help somebody. They need self-esteem. They need to be convinced they have value, and I think George does have a lot of talent."
S.J. city manager says no thanks to a raise
Raises have been the big topic of discussion at San Jose City Hall as officials wrapped up the budget for the coming fiscal year. That's a refreshing change from the ugly fights with city unions over pay cuts to reduce layoffs. But it doesn't mean there's no bitterness as city leaders dangle 2.5-percent raises to workers who took 10-percent pay cuts. Even cops offered 9 percent over two years to keep them from quitting say that's not enough.
At least one top official has gotten more: Mayor Chuck Reed urged a 9.65-percent hike for Independent Police Auditor LaDoris Cordell in December.
But City Manager Debra Figone wants y'all to know she'll once again fall on her salary sword for the sake of appearances, declining a 2-percent raise that the City Council had offered her and City Attorney Rick Doyle.
Though cops and wastewater plant workers are fleeing under her watch amid austerity budgets brought on by soaring employee retirement costs, you could argue that Figone earned a bump. After all, even with her own pay trimmed back 10 percent, she's had protesters demonstrating in front of her home and razzing her at a restaurant over the cuts. But in a memo thanking the mayor and council for the offer, she said she'd have none of it.
"Although we continue to make real progress to achieve and sustain the city's long-term fiscal stability, I think that as the city manager it is an important symbolic gesture to our entire staff to show that employees come first as we move toward a sustainable recovery," Figone said. "To this end I have filed the appropriate paperwork for an irrevocable waiver of the increase."
Figone, paid a total of $255,847 in 2012, added that "this is my personal decision, and by no means do I suggest that other employees should do the same."
Oliverio, S.J. firefighters are fighting again
More than most San Jose City Council members, Pierluigi Oliverio has had a strained relationship with the city's firefighter union. Back in 2010, when he was pushing measures to limit arbitration awards to cops and firefighters and allow reduced pension benefits for new city hires, Oliverio got in a spat with firefighter union members who accused him of stealing their opposition lawn signs. Oliverio argued the union illegally placed them on public property. Someone shot video as police arrived to calm things down.
Those issues still burn at City Hall: A judge just ordered the firefighter union to arbitration with the city over reduced pensions for new hires. And Oliverio is jumping back into the fray with a memorandum urging the council to order a freeze on new firefighter hires until the union accepts a reduced pension benefit for them. We expect the fireworks to continue.

Marriage and Family Therapist
Average Salary: $46,670
Expected Lifetime Earnings: $1,948,000
There is a wide range of positions a marriage and family therapist can hold, which often dictates how much income they can expect to make. Those employed by state and local governments can do very well for themselves, making between $50k-$60k annually on average. Slightly less for therapists working in outpatient mental health and substance abuse centers—around $45k-$50k, and still less for the majority, who work in mental health offices or in individual and family services (in the $40k-$45k range). Those who work out of converted lemonade stands and greatly undervalue their own professional services may make more in the range of $10-$15 a year.
If you work in an urban area and are able to accumulate a clientele consisting of high-profile patients, you may be able to make $100k or more. Another nice way to spring into a higher tax bracket is to write a book or publish articles about your specific area of expertise. You are very knowledgeable about a specific topic that interests a great many people—take advantage of that fact and get yourself a book deal. If you're multi-talented enough, you can even do your own illustrations. Sadly, Maurice Sendak has passed, so it's up to you now.

Merck Serono, the biopharmaceutical division of Merck, has entered into an agreement on cancer drug development with the Spanish National Cancer Research Centre (CNIO) in Madrid. The agreement will build upon CNIO research discoveries with the aim of translating its research into new treatment options for cancer patients.
Under the terms of the license agreement, Merck receives exclusive rights to develop and commercialize CNIO's new inhibitors of the ataxia telangiectasia and Rad3-related (ATR) kinase. Merck will in turn make an initial payment to CNIO along with other potential income of up to € 19 million, as well as royalties on net sales. The agreement encompasses the licensing of two series of ATR inhibitors, as well as a screening platform to validate the compounds, which have currently reached an advanced preclinical stage.
ATR kinase plays an important role in the response to DNA damage and in facilitating cell survival. Due to the fact that tumor cells accumulate more DNA damage than healthy cells, blocking ATR kinase activity with selective inhibitors appears to be a strategy worth investigating further for specific tumor types.

The LBC Marathon Team
Among the 25,000 runners starting the race at Blackheath on Sunday 26th April will be several of the LBC team.
From newsreaders and reporters to sales and even a Director, a wide range of the LBC workforce will be pounding the streets of London.
But why? We asked them what has inspired them to take up this challenge.
Jay-Louise Knight, Traffic and Travel Reporter
I'm running the marathon for the Multiple Sclerosis Resource Centre. My mum has suffered with Multiple Sclerosis for about 38 years now and I wanted to do something to help others with MS as well as their families. I'm not usually a runner and prefer a glass of wine to any kind of exercise so it has been particularly hard for me to train. My fiance has been my 'coach' as he takes part in Ironman triathlons so knows his stuff. Unfortunately, I managed to get an injury in my knee last week (unbelievably getting out of the car and not whilst training!). I have seen a physio who said the only way I will make it round is a shuffle/hobble, I'll be the one at the back finishing at about 2 days and 12 hours!

Zoe Ibrahim, LBC Sales
This is my first marathon and I entered the ballot without thinking I would get a place, so was very surprised and nervous when I did! I am running for Asthma UK which affects 5.4 million people in the UK and affected my Dad for many years. I saw how deeply it affects someone's quality of life, making even the smallest of things hard to do. The past 6 months have been tiring, painful and there have been tears! But this is the most rewarding this I have ever done and doing it for a loved one gives you that extra push to run the 20 mile training run on a gloomy cold day in the early hours of Sunday morning!

Robin Pembrooke, Director of Interactive
The last time I did a marathon was six years ago when I was about three stone lighter – I've lost about a stone this time in training, but still want to shift a bit more weight before race day. My Aunty Doreen, who at 80, is also running and she's the oldest woman running the race – at half her age, it means I've got no excuse for not getting round. I can't be complacent though, as a couple of years Doreen beat her own daughter! We're raising money for Help a London Child and people can support us below.

Katie Henderson, Reporter
I'm running for Help A London Child - which helps provides opportunities to more than 120,000 less advantaged and vulnerable children and young people in London.
The training has been going well so far - it's hurt, A LOT, many times, but there's only the big race to go on Sunday now, and then I can put my feet up, literally!
The high point of my running? The route I take along the river from Putney to Barnes, basically the route of the Boat Race. It's nice and secluded there - in amongst the trees on the banks of the river, and is the perfect place to let your hair down when you're running. No one can see me dancing along to Abba - or doing all the actions to never Forget by Take That. Not sure I'll be able to get away with that next Sunday though - it's one sure-fire way to make sure the tv cameras spot you!
The low point? Surprising not the really long runs I've done... For me it was getting out of bed on a Friday morning at 7am before work - and going for a 5 mile run around Tooting Common. The weather was pretty miserable before I left my lovely warm bed, but by the time I got to the Common it was snowing horizontally into my eyes. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for sun this weekend.
As well as training 4 times a week since January, there's also been the fundraising to keep me busy. My target was to raise £2000 for Help A London Child. It's a cause that's close to my heart. As a reporter at LBC I've covered many stories about the fantastic and vital work HALC does, and it's a real privelege that they're letting me run for them. The biggest fundraiser I've done so far is hosting a pub quiz, which raised over 450 pounds for my charity. I hosted it with a friend of mine who's also running the marathon. We wrote the questions, came up with a couple of picture rounds, and gathered together some prizes for a tombola. All in all it was a huge success. There was one team that were convinced everyone else was using iPhones to check the answers....And there was controversy from the team that came second, by just one point. They weren't convinced that this was a valid pub quiz question "What's the name of George Clooney's character in ER?" Surely every self-respecting female knows that!!!
The last 4 months have been a roller-coaster of emotions, there have been tears, smiles, sore legs, exhilaration, and determination. Preparing for the marathon has taken over my life since Christmas, but in a good way. It'll be 4 months in my life, that will hopefully change a child's life forever.

Olympic Events
How to Experience the Excitement of the London Olympics After the Games Have Ended
The London Olympics and Paralympics have finally come to an end. You may be wondering what is going to happen with all of the facilities that were built for the games. Well, good news is that the legacy will live on and they will be open for public use in years to come!
Everything You Need to Know About the Paralympics Games
The Olympic torch has been making its way around London for the start of the Paralympic Games. They will be going on from August 29th until September 9th. Tune in and watch because this is the first time the Paralympic tickets have been sold out!
You've been waiting for it and it's finally here! The Opening Ceremony begins tonight at 9pm, ending around midnight. We are all wondering what surprises the games may hold. Security will be in full-swing so be prepared, be safe and enjoy yourselves.
London Olympics Closing Ceremonies and Events
The closing ceremony for the Olympics is August 12th. If you thought that the opening ceremony was exciting to watch, you won't want to miss this! Many stars are rumored to make appearances, who knows who might show up. The flame will go out and that will signify the end of the London Olympic Games. See you in Rio!
The cycling road race starts today. The route will be spread out throughout all of London, so it's best to check out the full route map of when and where cyclists will be going by. Men will race on July 28th and the women's turn is on July 29th. See you on the road!
Olympic Shooting at The Royal Artillery Barracks
The Olympic shooting competitions have already begun and will continue on through August 6th at The Royal Artillery Barracks. The venue is easy to get to by boat or train. Watch out for the top teams, China and the US!
Equestrian and Olympic Modern Pentathlon in Greenwich Park
The Equestrian events will be going on from July 28th-August 8th in Greenwich Park, along with the Modern Pentathlon happening there as well on August 11th and 12th. The venue is easy to get to either by taking the train or just walking there.
Road Cycling at Hampton Court Palace

Olympic Events in London This Week
The Paralympic games are coming to you sooner than you think! There are also many events going on in London right now. So, just because the Olympics are over, doesn't mean that there aren't plenty of things still happening in this marvelous city.
Olympics Football in Hampden Park
The opening ceremony is finally this Friday, July 27th! It turns out that the football games are ready to start even earlier than that however, so head on over to Hampden Park in Glasgow, Scotland on July 25th and 26th. Let the games begin.
Where to Watch the London Olympics for Free
There are many sites where you can catch the Olympic games if you don't have tickets to see them. Chances are you might even run into some of the events as they are happening such as running, road cycling, the triathlon, sailing and more.
Olympic Events Outside of London
The Olympic Football events will be held all throughout the United Kingdom, as well as a few others. If you find yourself outside of London to watch a game don't forget that there's plenty to see in cities like Manchester, Bath, Cambridge and more.

There are many exhibitions all around London that will be able to answer any questions you might be having about the Olympics. Many are only open until the end of August or September, so hurry and see them now!
London Olympics tips
London's Transport for the Olympics
One of the most challenging parts of the London Olympics for spectators may be getting around the city. London's transport system is generally very efficient and with the added pressure on the bus and tube system, it will be a good idea to plan ahead so that you are sure to have plenty of time.
How to Find Accommodation for the London Olympics
While London is well provided with hotel rooms ranging from peak luxury to hostels, and many locals will be renting out their private homes during the Olympics, demand is pushing prices up. Some central London hotels are charging twice to four times the usual nightly rate per room and some of the private rental apartments and houses have ridiculously high price tags as people try to cash in on the Games.
Where to See the Olympic Torch Near London, England
The Olympic Torch's arrival in and journey around the UK leading up to the 2012 Olympics is not only symbolic of peace, unity, and friendship but is a way for millions to be involved in the games, especially those of us not lucky enough to get tickets or talented enough to actually be competing.
Last-Minute Tips for Visiting London During the Olympics
Olympic rings are now visible throughout the UK, venues in London are almost ready and signs are being put up in the London Underground. Be prepared for strict security checks when arriving at Heathrow Airport because even all of the rain won't keep people from coming to London for this years Olympic games.
Plan Ahead for London and the Olympics
But while it's a great time to visit, it's also one of those times you really do need to plan ahead in a little more detail. Even grand attractions like the Tower of London, Stonehenge, Windsor Castle and The London Eye have capacity constraints, and there will be many who'll go home disappointed over this London season, having missed the one thing they really wanted to see. Don't be among them!
How to Score Last Minute Tickets for the Olympics
There are only a few days left and lucky for you, tickets are still available for some events. If you haven't figured out your accommodation yet, it's important to do it fast. Remember, you can always stay right outside of London because everything is accessible by train.
How to Get to and Around Olympic Stadium
There are several ways of getting to the Olympic Stadium including taking the train, walking or even by water chariot. Many gates surround the stadium and can be used to enter. Whatever you choose, just be sure to bring an umbrella because you never know what the weather in London may be like.
Olympic Sports: Where to Do them in London
Watching all of the Olympic athletes compete might have inspired you to try out some of these sports yourselves. Well, there are different places where you can do just that, including the Hampstead Heath ponds, the Hampton Pool, the Oasis Sports Centre and many others.
Olympic Park was designed for use even after the games are over. If you love sports, you can utilize these facilities. There are also many art installations placed around the venues, so be on the lookout.
Things to See and Do
Bike Tour of Olympic Park and East London
Gear up for the 2012 Olympic Games on this exciting bike tour! Cycle out to the site where the main events of the London Olympics will take place in summer 2012. On the way to Olympic Park, see famous London sights such as the Tate Art Gallery, Shakespeare's Globe Theater and Tower Bridge.
See the ArcelorMittal Orbit in London
Clearly artist Anish Kapoor grew up playing with Meccano, all those strips of metal you could bolt together to make the weirdest inventions, most of which would never fly, roll or even stand up. Here's hoping that Kapoor's latest vision, London's ArcelorMittal Orbit, stands up for many hundreds of years.

The Best of London: An Olympics Medal Ceremony
The athlete have all received their medals in the Olympic games. Now we are awarding our own medals to the best museums, views, free things to do, parks and more in London.

I'm lucky enough to go back to Ireland with a skill that's still in demand. In my former life I was a sign language interpreter, and to my advantage there is currently no working interpreter in Limerick (where we will hopefully live).
So my days of working from home will be coming to an end, and that's good too. I'm sure after the second baby (God willing) I'll be ready to get back into a suit and out into the world of work in Ireland.
And if I'm being honest, most of the people I know (who bought big houses in the boom and fancy cars) are still able to afford their yearly trip to Spain, a ticket to the All-Ireland and an odd weekend away. And some of these people have lost their jobs.
What we have on our side is the radical drop in house prices and a strong work/survival ethic that life in New York gives all immigrants.
Yes, the Irish weather is bad, but anyone who knows me in New York knows I strongly dislike our summers here. (It might have something to do with the fact that I was pregnant for the past two, but a bit of rain will do us no harm.)
But I've said it before and I'll say it again -- we will miss New York. How could we not?
We've made great lives for ourselves here, developed life-long friendships and I strongly believe that they'll always be a part of us.
But thanks to the Internet, phones and planes, New York and our friends are never going to be too far away.
While unloading mom and Mike's luggage from the trunk of our car last week at JFK I glanced around to see other people saying their goodbyes.
One Irish woman with a strong Northern accent was hugging what looked to be her father tightly. She cried as he assured her he would see her at Christmas.
It didn't seem to quell her tears though. She left him at the door of the airport and one could feel her pain immensely. I knew we were next to do our own goodbyes.
Like most people I hate them, so I clung tightly to Colum, threw him around for some last hugs and kisses and back into the car I lunged immediately.
We will be home in eight months so there really is no need for tears, I was telling myself. But eight months is still a long time, especially in the life of a child.
As we drove away from the airport that day John and I discussed how happy our decision to move home has made our own parents.
A New York-based friend of mine became a grandfather to a beautiful baby boy a few weeks ago. He just spent over a week with his new bundle of joy in Chicago and told me on the phone today that he wept tears of sadness while saying goodbye to him.
"The last time I cried April was when I left Ireland as a teenager," he shared.
I really don't want there to be any more tears!
Liz has already picked out a stroller she wants us to purchase for her to go into the container home. She keeps telling me what she has to baby proof in her house and gets so excited at the thought of her grandchildren playing on swings (that she doesn't own) out her back garden. It makes me happy to see how excited she is about our return.
I guess having children changes everything, and for us those changes will bring us closer to our families and further away from the lives we once knew in America. And that's okay by us!

Fisker Says Latest Shutdown is 'A Bump In The Road'
Fisker Automotive Inc. said it stopped work and laid off 26 employees at its factory in Delaware. The company has been in the process of re-commissioning the former General Motors plant, where it plans to build plug-in hybrid family sedans.
The moves are the result of negotiations with the Department of Energy over the terms of certain loans. Fisker said it is trying to renegotiate federal loan guarantees totaling $529 million, after it missed certain milestones required under the loans' original rules.
"This is a bump in the road," said Fisker spokesman Roger Ormisher, noting that launching a new car company is exceedingly difficult, and missing the occasional deadline or sales target is expected. "Obviously we have had delays and I think we have been very open about that," he said.
The Anaheim, Calif., car maker said the work stoppage doesn't affect production of the Karma plug-in hybrid, of which it has delivered 250. Deliveries of the high-performance, 400-horsepower Karma, which ranges in price from $103,000 to $116,000 depending on trim level, started in December. That roll-out was roughly three months later than the agreed-upon deadline associated with the loan guarantees and at the center of the negotiations, Fisker said.
The company said it has received about $193 million of the $529 in government loans. The balance is supposed to go mainly toward production of the plug-in sedan, called known as Project Nina is meant to appeal more to the mass market than the exotic Karma. The Nina is expected to cost about $50,000.
Driver's Seat reviewed the Karma last month

Wallpaper Junkie
Small software to download interfacelift wallpapers.
*** NOTE: App stopped from the developer ***
With WJ you can view and download InterfaceLIFT wallpapers(over 2000 available). The easy to use GUI (featuring WallFlow* and ListFlow**), the ability to set the wallpapers as the desktop background on the screens(s) you select, the ability to search for a wallpaper, as well as the "Quick Download" feature, make it the perfect tool for the job.
Required OS: 10.6
Tags: interfacelift , wallpaper , freeware , download , image , desktop
3 Opinions
Versions 3.00 to 3.04 did not work properly and the app has been suspended by the developer.
All problems are fixed in WJ 2.00
Very nice wallpaper fetcher and changer, downloads really high quality wallpaperrs, unfortunately latest versions stopped working for me, it just crash when loading "Wallpaper Flow", v1.06 does not crash but no wallpapers show as available to download. Too bad because this app was very good...

Despite tutoring his team in all matters about his career and professional life, Croc Creek managed to answer the Dingo Dollar question about David Haye incorrectly.
On offer in the Outback Shack were a bowl of crisps or toilet seat covers and air freshener. David Haye opted for the former as his camp mates were asked how old the former WBA World Champion was when he turned professional. They incorrectly answered 18 (the correct answer was 22) and so David headed back to camp empty handed.
Ever the hero, David didn't mention the crisps to his camp mates, instead opting to tell them that the choices had been toilet seat covers or air freshener.
He explained later: "I didn't tell them there was crisps available because that would hurt the morale of the team" Over in Snake Rock, Made in Chelsea star Hugo Taylor cried in frustration at his defeat in the challenge. He said: "I can't believe I'm crying over something so stupid. The smallest thing in here can completely set you off. It's astonishing."
Speaking to his camp mates, he explained: "It made me feel so demoralised and afterwards I just started crying. I was just like. It's completely ridiculous. I was acting like such a wimp. You've just got this huge wall and David Haye yet again."

It's not the question that brought tears to my eyes, it's realizing how deeply complicated a response can be to something as simple as: Where would you wish to wake up tomorrow? Don't believe me? Watch this video from Fifty People One Question. Yes, there are more questions.
Oh, and I'd have a super swell haircut.

Sure. He always said, "God Bless"
"Good Night and may God Bless"
A personal.....Red Skelton Memory...What a great guy!...About maybe 3 years before he died, my brother who is a huge fan of his tried to get an autographed picture from him...Somehow through phone calls he was put into contact with Mr. Skeltons secretary.. After talking a bit , the secretary put him through to another person...After explaining his request again...the guy on the other end goes, "You don't know who you are talking to do you?" My brother said , "no". He says something like, "this is HIM." My bother goes, "No". He goes, "Yes"..My brother goes , "No" ...Mr. Skelton goes, "yes"... Just like a mini comedy routine...He finally asked him for the pictures and if he could sign it "God Bless"...He said he could not sign it that way because of the copy right of the TV show... Long story short...He sent a couple autographed pictures of himself 8 x 10 and a couple different poses in 4/6 size...All autographed by him and not stamped..Each signature is a bit different... Right now I have his 4x6 on our rolltop desk in our family room, with our family photos...He was just a special kind of guy... The envelope that was sent came right from his own house...My brother said he was soooo sweet....
And like he promised, he personally signed each picture....
Have any of you heard his version of the Pledge of Allegiance? It will move you to tears.

Common practice for Audi at a major motor show is to add more cars on the second press day when day 1 includes a press conference. With the chairs, platforms, video rigs and more now gone, this opens up plenty of room for more eye candy. Geneva 2012 was no different and upon our return today to the Geneva Palexpo we found this additional A3 specimen in blue and
An image surfaced today of a new wheel from Audi tuning company STaSIS. Essentially it's a re-take/re-make on the classic VMR, which is a classic HRE Monoblock, which is itself a very close interpretation of the BBS racing wheel used on the Porsche RS Spyder LMP2 racecar. Completely unique and original the basic look may not be but that's not a bother as the net effect is one of the best looking wheel designs on the market.

Roche's combination HIV, HCV, and HBV screening test, the cobas® TaqScreen MPX Test version 2.0, has been granted a CE mark in Europe for use on the cobas s 201 system. The qualitative in vitro test, designed to screen donated whole blood and blood components, allows the direct detection of HIV type I group M RNA, HIV-1 group 0 RNA, HIV type 2 RNA, hepatitis C virus RNA, and hepatitis B virus DNA in human plasma.
Roche says the latest version of the real-time PCR assay has been reformulated to include new viral sequences, features increased sensitivity, and is the only commercially available automated test that provides simultaneous detection and identification of HIV, HCV, and HBV in an individual specimen, which removes the need for additional discriminatory tests. The TaqScreen MPX Test v.2 is not yet approved or available in the U.S.
The firm has developed a range of blood-screening tests for the cobas s 201 system, including West Nile virus, parvovirus B19, and hepatitis A virus.

Augusta, Ga--It's called the liquid quarter mile and the area will be rocking this weekend with the 24th annual Southern Nationals on the Savannah. If you've never been, seriously, check it out. Imagine going 200 miles an hour plus in under five seconds.
From pro modifieds to the high end top fuel hydro, these things literally leap off the line when the green light flashes. But remember one thing, like NASCAR, or dragsters, safety first. Case in point, this wreck last week in Texas. Don Ermshar, 70 year old driver who's been doing this for 37 years involved in this spectacular crash. He was underwater in the capsule for 10 plus minutes. Air tight mind you. Yes, a few broken bones but otherwise he's alright and could be back racing in short order.
"Yea, the capsule did save his life." said driver Fred Hart. "That was a huge asset for us obviously and Don Ermshar is by far the biggest spokesman we have for this class. He's the big reason a lot of us are here. It's kind of like a cloud over us right now, not having him here so it's going to be a little different not having him here this weekend."
"I guess Don crashed and that's just one of the things racing does" said Charles Fegan, I.H.B.A. president "Once again Don's not going to give up the sport, he's going to be building his stuff and coming back, supporting it harder and bigger then ever, I mean, it's awesome."
Racing starts Friday with qualifying on Saturday and then the finals Sunday. The night of fire will again be held Friday night at the Augusta Commons starting at 7.

STOCKTON - Mike Tyson, the former world heavyweight boxing champion, brings his autobiographical stage production to the Bob Hope Theatre on Oct. 2.
Called "Mike Tyson: Undisputed Truth," the one-man show first was directed by filmmaker Spike Lee as a Broadway production in 2012. It since has been shown on HBO.
Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday. They're priced at $50, $60 and $70 (before surcharges).
A $200 ticket includes a meet-and-greet with Tyson.
Tyson, 48, became the World Boxing Association champion in 1997 by defeating Evander Holyfield. He defended his championship in three organizations 26 times and concluded his career with 50 wins (44 knockouts, five decisions, one disqualification) and six losses.
A native of Brooklyn., N.Y., Tyson's turbulent life included serving three years of a five-year prison sentence for rape in 1991. Drugs and alcohol also afflicted him.
On June 28, 1997, he was disqualified from a heavyweight title fight and lost his license for biting off part of Holyfield's right ear.

Why (d)slr still around?
Back in the days of film, if one wanted to aim the camera through the lens (as compared to a viewfinder on top of the camera or a second lens, mirror and ground glass), one had to have a shutter and a swinging mirror. But today, with digital image sensors, we have the ability to mount a small tv in the viewfinder and see exactly what the image sensor is seeing. So why are we still fooling around with the slamming a mirror around for each pic and a mechanical shutter. Why not take the electronics of, let's say, a d800 and marry them to the electronics of a v1 inside the 800 body. It would eliminate the need for critical "tuning" of the focusing sensor to match up with the imaging sensor, eliminate a source a vibration, and allow faster continuous shooting. What is the big advantage of retaining all the mechanical stuff?
