Downtown Jersey City gun dealer David Murray has been stripped of his license to sell weaponry.
Superior Court Judge Fred Theemling ruled this afternoon that Murray, owner of David's Sporting Goods on Second Street near Newark Avenue, didn't take proper precautions to secure his guns when on June 10 a thief swiped a handgun from a display case. Therefore, the judge said, Murray shouldn't be allowed to stay in business in Jersey City.
Theemling also found Murray's record-keeping to be lax.
Murray vowed to appeal.
The Hudson County Prosecutor's Office pursued the case on the grounds that in light of the theft, Murray's business represented a threat to the safety of the community.

text: playrwrights Whidbey Island retreat provides solitude for women writers By Katherine Banwell • May 15, 2011 Courtesy of Hedgebrook Listen Listening... / On Whidbey Island, among the evergreens, sits Hedgebrook, a writers retreat solely for women. Nestled on 48 acres, women writers, like feminist and journalist Gloria Steinem, have been seeking solitude at the property since 1988. It's a piece of land that many say is a source of creative power. Recently, young women playwrights have been honing their works with only the sounds of the surrounding forest to interrupt their writing. They've been invited to Whidbey Island to join in the Hedgebrook Women Playwrights Festival. For KPLU's weekly Artscape series, I travelled to Hedgebrook to talk to two of the writers about their work.

If there was a simple "this is best" we wouldn't need this forum. Seriously, there is no "best". You need to decide what it is you want to do with a reader. Eg (and this is a far from exhaustive list):
- Is portability a high priority, or will you be reading primarily at home.
- What features are important for you? Being able to organise your book collection into folder? Searching? Annotation? Bookmarking? Dictionary lookup?
- What type of books will you mainly be reading? Commercial books? Out of copyright classics? Academic papers?
- Where do you want to read? In full sunlight? In artificial light? In the dark?
- Do you have any problems reading from LCD screens, or do you prefer eInk screens?
- Do you want a "pure" reading device, or you want a device which also has internet access?
- What is your budget?
- Which country do you live in?
- Do you have any preference as to file format?
- Are there any particular bookstores you'd like to be able to buy books in?
Those are just a few of the questions one might ask. A simple "which is best" only raises the question "best for doing what?".

HIC Spotlight: George Kpuli
In the midst of the Himalayan Institute Cameroon's major humanitarian initiatives, the remarkable stories of those responsible often go unreported. This section of the blog seeks to showcase the diverse range of backgrounds, talents, obstacles, and triumphs represented in our local staff and contacts.
George Kpuli works as a security guard at the HIC's main campus. Off the job, he's also a woodcarver, craftsman, and practicing herbalist.
Having spent his childhood in the years before Cameroon gained its independence, George is an important link with tradition. He is a titleholder (Shey) and an active participant in ngwerong, the secret society which served as executive body in Banso's pre-colonial politics.
George's compound in Sar-Ntoh (in Lamnso dialect: below palace) is a few hundred yards from the palace of the paramount Fon of Nso. A father of seven, he currently lives there with his mother, Bongburi, his youngest child, Gildas, and his wife, Grace, who is a princess of nearby Nkar village.
George has worked all over Cameroon in the building trades. When the Himalayan Institute first arrived in Summer 2007, the Fon of Nso sent George as part of the welcoming party. Looking back, he recalls, "On that day it was raining very seriously and we did all we could just to secure what we had in hand, and I am very proud to be a pioneer worker here, that I received them here the very first day they came." After the Himalayan Institute community center was established, George was hired as a guard.
Since then, George has witnessed or taken part in all of the Himalayan Institute's humanitarian programs. "My feelings are too much," he says. "The impression which is coming up, Help Africa Move Forward, is about all of Africa, and they are here in Kumbo where I was born and bred. I don't know how to express my feelings, the happiness, the joy that I have. The health center here is going a long way in helping the public. You see your herbs are doing far better than maybe some of those we have here. At Kishong [site of the School of Energy Farming] the plants which are about to be grown there are effective now because you have a school for sustainable farming."
George's future plans center around his seven children. He says, "Presently I'm fifty-six years old and soon I will be down in my grave. And so my goal now is to educate and train my children very well to the highest level." Given the breadth of his experience, George still has a lot of teaching left for his biological and Himalayan Institute families.

Four years ago, Corinne Phillips received a circle knitting loom for Christmas.
The Gardendale child, 10 years old at the time, sat down, read the instructions and taught herself how to use it.
Knitting soon became an addiction, especially knitting hats.
Pink ones, blue ones, purple, green, sparkly magenta -- hats became Corinne's passion, and her allowance was spent strictly on yarn.
Eventually, as the hats started to multiply, Corinne decided to create Hats for Health, a personal ministry that works with different hospitals to deliver handmade hats to premature babies and breast cancer patients.
Today, at the age of 14, Corinne has made more than 800 hats for five different hospitals and has recently started teaching classes to get other women involved.
"She is 14 years old and is so driven and has such passion -- it is just phenomenal," said Sandra Milstead, a nurse and family liaison with the Regional NICU at UAB Hospital. "She is a great girl. I was so impressed with her. The fact that she is teaching other people? Just to be able to communicate well enough to teach someone else another skill is pretty phenomenal at that age."
The Bragg Middle School student recently delivered about 100 hats to UAB.
She likes to attach or insert a piece of paper with scripture in each hat for encouragement.
"This is something I love to do that can help the community," Corinne said. "My parents help me out a lot. My mom goes out and brings home yarn. I want to eventually deliver hats to every state."
Corinne's ministry is growing beyond the hats she personally makes. Her friends and the women she has taught in her recent classes, young and old, are now making hats for the cause -- about 380 to date, although that number changes daily.
Nancy Ellenburg, who attended one of Corinne's classes at their church, Decatur Highway Church of Christ, said she has made about 140 hats since November.
"I am 63 years old and I had been wanting to do something that I could do from home for somebody else," Ellenburg said. "She had this class at church and I thought I would go and see what it was all about."
Ellenburg caught the knitting bug. She works on the hats first thing in the morning and before she goes to bed each night. She said she is especially moved by a new area of Corinne's ministry that will make hats for stillborn babies to wear, when and if their mothers choose to hold them. Ellenburg's own mother once made white corsages to hang on the doors of hospital rooms for women who had lost their babies, she said.
"That has always struck me, something small that makes such a difference in somebody's life," Ellenburg said.
Corinne comes from a family known for community service. Her mother Kathleen Phillips coordinates Gardendale's growing Magnolia Festival. Her father Scott Phillips is a former president of the Greater Gardendale Chamber of Commerce. Even her younger brother, Grayson Phillips, 12, has been recognized for his inspirational role in bringing to Gardendale a Miracle League a baseball field for children and adults with special needs.
Scott and Kathleen Phillips are extremely proud of their daughter and have encouraged her to take Hats for Health as far as she wants to take it.
"It really is a growing ministry and unlimited in the ways these hats can touch people," Kathleen Phillips said. "From the hands that knit the hats to the hands that put them on their heads, lives are being touched through this ministry."
Corinne maintains excellent grades and stays involved in other school and church activities, but hats are her passion, her family said.
Hats for Health is funded by Corinne's personal allowance, along with some yarn donations. She said she has more than enough yarn for her hats, but would appreciate yarn donations for some of the women who are just getting started.
Her classes usually draw between 15 to 40 people, with the next class scheduled for 10 a.m. on Jan. 28 at the Decatur Highway Church of Christ. It is open to the community.
"Anybody can do this," Corinne said. "I have taught people of all ages, from 9 to 70. You can make a preemie hat in about an hour. An adult hat takes maybe two hours."
Corinne has kept some of her creations for herself, including a purple scarf that is her favorite piece.
Although she plans to be a real estate agent when she is older, Corinne said she can envision Hats for Health turning into a nonprofit that reaches thousands.
"I would love to keep doing this," she said. "I would love for it to keep growing, to keep reaching people."
For more information about Hats for Health, contact Kathleen Phillips at email@example.com.

Surgery is tomorrow. Odd as it sounds, I'm really excited about it. It's has been a CRAZY week at work. The meetings were all day long followed by dinners so I didn't get home until almost 9 every night. Also this week I've started planning my best friend's 30th birthday party. She lives in North Carolina and is having her party in Myrtle Beach. I will give more details later, but for now I'm afraid she'll see this. Hehe. She knows about the party but has no clue about the specifics involved. It's going to be a blast! Either right before or right after that I will probably have had or be about to have my first IVF. Woo hoo! So much going on this month and next. Maybe the busyness will cause me to not stress and much and thus result in a positive pregnancy test! Well, back to the plan and eating (I can't eat after midnight). Ciao!

These days, there is a lot of action and debate going on at the Statehouse. We already have passed a number of good bills during this General Assembly, and more bills continue to come across my desk. What pleases me is that the focus of these bills has been to turn our state's sour economy around, saving money and creating jobs.
For a number of years, it seems Ohio has fallen behind on business. Not only have we neglected to build up the businesses within our borders, but we have neglected to attract those from other states and have ignored how difficult of a process it can be for someone to start a new business.
Without these jobs, we are at a severe disadvantage to other states. Our economy lacks, and it hinders our families.
As a result of these challenges, the Ohio House of Representatives recently passed legislation to form JobsOhio, a non-profit, private entity that will work in developing business in our state. The senate voted in favor of JobsOhio as well, and Gov. John Kasich has signed it into law.
Although we might be used to this role falling on the Ohio Department of Development, JobsOhio will be working in conjunction with ODOD, making job creation in Ohio an even quicker and easier process.
How is it quicker, though? JobsOhio is headed by a nine-member board of business leaders. These leaders know the ins and outs of how the business world works in today's society. They quickly can address the issues business owners and entrepreneurs face, creating a stronger job market and removing government bureaucracy that could unnecessarily hinder the efforts of the businesses.
Fact Box
Rep. Rex Damschroder may be reached by calling (614) 466-1374, e-mailing email@example.com, or writing to State Rep. Rex Damschroder, 77 S. High St., Columbus, OH 43215.
Having too much regulation and inefficiency is harmful to our state's economy. Having JobsOhio in the private sector ensures our agility so we can take advantage of budding business opportunities. Also, we can carve out a path of better policy for economic development in the future.
With the innovative approach Ohio is using through this law, we are taking the first steps in making sure our state can grow, becoming competitive with not only other states, but other nations around the world.
During such difficult economic times, it's vital that we formulate actions and put them in place to cultivate the right conditions for business growth. JobsOhio does just that, and I'm proud to be representing you and your family as we debate this and other legislation that will play an important role in your everyday life.
As always, feel free to contact me or my office with any questions or concerns you have regarding our state's future. Your idea could be the next solution for Ohio's recovery.

In season 1, Tamyra Gray – a soulful singer like Toscano – was voted off in fourth place even though Simon Cowell had called her "world class." Two seasons later, anticipated finalist Jennifer Hudson exited with a seventh place finish, while in season 5, Chris Daughtry's fourth place elimination incited booing from the audience and stunned the judges.
Good news for Toscano: Gray, 31, has found success as an actress and singer; Hudson, 29, has won an Oscar and a Grammy; and Daughtry, 31, has sold millions of albums.
After the show this week, Hudson and Daughtry expressed their shock via Twitter. She Tweeted, "I can not believe they just eliminated pia ! ReAlly..????" while he Tweeted, "What the crap!!?? I thought Pia was THE best singer on the show this year!"
Calling into Ryan Seacrest's KIIS-FM radio show Friday morning, judge Jennifer Lopez (who became teary-eyed when she heard Toscano was leaving), wondered whether voters assumed the singer was safe or if she just wasn't connecting with the audience.
So what does Toscano, 22, think led to her departure? "I really don't know," says the Howard Beach, N.Y., resident. "It happened for a reason and I think I'm going to have a bright future."
Is It a Man's World?So far, only female contestants have been voted off the show, and now Haley Reinhart and Lauren Alaina are left to compete against six men. The resulting odds have left many Idol-watchers wondering if a woman even stands a chance of winning the competition. As it is, the last female to take home the title was Jordin Sparks in 2007. (Over the past nine seasons, men have won five times.)
Singing aside, this season's male contestants have certainly had memorable moments on the show, leading to speculation that voting has been affected as a result. Recently, WWE fan James Durbin was treated to a visit from Hulk Hogan, and Thursday Seacrest revealed that Casey Abrams – who received the lowest number of votes two weeks ago but was saved from elimination by the judges – has a fan in former Idol winner Kelly Clarkson.
But some industry experts say gender doesn't likely play a role in voting. "I don't think there is any clear distinction between the American audience picking a girl or a guy," says Charlie Walk, an entertainment executive and former head of Epic Records. "The American public makes decisions based upon simplicity: The best acts that comes across that screen and grabs their attention are the ones that end up winning."
For her part, Toscano doesn't think that the voting is gender-biased, either.
"I think we all have our moments on the show," she explains. "It's really a hard call."
As for who she thinks will win, Toscano says, "It's anybody's game right now."

Fartisanal Pizza and Wine
The one thing I loathe the most about the modern "food movement" in America is the trite use of the word artisan or artisanal. Really, I'm just adverse to the word in general. It's crap. Fartisan crap!
I first heard the word used in a food context about four or five years ago at a wine dinner. Some guy was waxing on about how the food was artisanal and the chefs were artisans and their artwork (food) was better than a regular chef's food because well, once again, it was artisanal. Blah, blah, blasé.
I love Frito Lay brand chips. They now have "Artisan" chips. Haaah! And, quite possibly, the crust in tonight's dinner and wine pairing might just have been made from mis-purchased "artisanal" dinner rolls. Artisan is the new black. So much, in fact, that it's almost been worn out and faded to gray,
Nonetheless, this evening I used my wife's five hundred pound marble rolling pin to re-roll the dough of a half dozen dinner rolls into a Fartisanal shaped pizza crust. Looks pretty good, after all it isn't perfectly square or round or rectangular. Must be artisanal!
My Fartisan pie was topped with some of my Nonna's recipe white sauce as well as a mixture of the "six super greens" like kale, spinach, chard, and romaine. Finish with mozzarella, parmesano and a few strategically placed but artisanally hatched hen eggs and you have a protein and fiber rich pizza that would have been done half an hour earlier if I'd only paid attention and purchased the desired rectangular pizza crust that rolls out a whole helluva lot easier.
To pair with it, I chose the new vintage of a French wine I fell for last year. The Guillermarine Picpoul de Pinet has simple citrus notes and some delicate apple flavors that don't overwhelm the eggs and greens in the pizza. Plus, it's French and different and hard to pronounce. If only it were artisanal.

You tell it like it is. I love it.
Purchased dough? From the grocery? Next time check with your local pizzeria and buy a fresh ball of artisanal dough. ; )

AROUND THE TOWN. . . Wailea sure was jumping last weekend. A giant group filled the hotels to capacity and Carol King and Bon Jovi could be heard from the beach walk on separate evenings. We were in Wailea to check out the new robatayaki restaurant, Kai Wailea, and it was awesome.
I'll be writing a story about it in an upcoming issue. But for now, lunch-goers should note Kai recently debuted box lunches from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday to Saturday that you can "grab and go."
Ranging from $10 to $12, the box lunches or "bentos," include garlic New York steak or teriyaki organic chicken with wasabi rice and green salad, real crab meat California and veggie rolls with salad, and crab-avo-bacon sandwich on freshly baked buns. Kai is in The Shops at Wailea and the phone number is 875-1955.

Chef Todd Carlos of the new Duke's Beach House will pull out all of the stops during happy hour Friday, when Henry Kapono performs.
We also savored every last bite at Ko in the Fairmont Kea Lani Maui, where kamaaina get 25 percent off their food and drink tab during lunch and dinner.
On the other side of the island, Henry Kapono will start a series of free afternoon performances at Duke's Beach House at Honua Kai Resort. Kicking off from 4 to 6 p.m. this Friday, his shows will run weekly through March 19 and there's no cover.
"We'll be serving our full bar menu and go heavy on the pupu," says Chef Todd Carlos. "When Henry played at our grand opening in January, 650 people packed the house and it was a zoo."
Crowd pleasers include the raw ahi poke rolls with Maui onions, seared in rice paper with a fabulous sauce; kalua pork nachos, and ahi sashimi with edamame and cucumber salad with shiso that is out of this world. Carlos, a former "Best Chef on Maui," really knows how to cook. You'll also find mango barbecue ribs, certified Angus cheeseburgers, and Maui onion soup.
Carlos says he always knew he'd end up at a place like Duke's that epitomizes the islands as he wrote in his Ohio high school yearbook, "Hawaii bound." When people asked him who he knew here, he said, "nobody." But Carlos is here in the thick of things now and Friday, he'll start dinner service early to accommodate diners.

how to use explicit keyword in C++
please have a look at this code.
What could be the possible reason and its solution?
Re: how to use explicit keyword in C++
Usage looks OK. What compiler are you using? Is it one that doesn't support the "explicit" keyword?
Re: how to use explicit keyword in C++
I am using Turbo C++ version 3. Which version should i use?
Re: how to use explicit keyword in C++
Certainly not an ancient compiler that was actually coded by a dinosaur, that's for certain.
You will need to use a modern compiler if you want to use modern languages. gcc does a good job of keeping up with the times, or you could use the Microsoft compilers (downloadable for free from MSDN).
Re: how to use explicit keyword in C++
I have Visual Studio 2008. But i don't know how to create C++ application on them.Can you guide?
Re: how to use explicit keyword in C++
It's really not hard. File -> New -> Project; in Project Types pick Win32 under Visual C++.
What happens next depends on what kind of project you want. Given that your ability is such that you can't find File New Project, I suggest starting with the template Win32 Console Application.
Give it a name and location, it will create a basic project that you can build and run (maybe after adding a line to display Hello World) using the cunningly named menu Build -> Build Solution. After building, fix any compile errors, then use the menu Debug -> Start Without Debugging to run the program.

Henry Armas' story
by Henry Armas, UNV HIV/AIDS Programme Officer with UNICEF's Latin America and Caribbean Regional Office
Lima, Peru: I first became interested in HIV issues a number of years ago when I learned that close friends had acquired the virus. At that time, I was in Peru working on rights, citizen participation and health issues. Soon after, I left for the Netherlands to study. My Master's dissertation, which focused on citizen participation of people living with HIV, brought all of these issues together.
When I finished my Master's degree in Development Studies, it was clear to me that I wanted to work on HIV/AIDS-related issues. As a Peruvian national, I was particularly keen to work in my own region, and with great fortune I had the opportunity, in August 2009, to join UNICEF's Latin America and Caribbean Regional Office as a UN Volunteer.
As the Regional Office's HIV/AIDS Programme Officer, I am the focal point for knowledge management initiatives on HIV/AIDS, and, as such, I am involved in the evaluation and systematization of best practices, the documentation of innovation, as well as in qualitative/quantitative research.
I have had the opportunity to participate in regional trainings, and to advocate for the rights of children with policy makers, civil society organizations and government representatives. One of the most rewarding experiences of my tenure as a UN Volunteer has been to meet courageous activists living with HIV—adults and adolescents—who fight against discrimination, rights violations and lack of services.
A highlight of my work to date has been the opportunity to participate in the first Latin American and Caribbean meeting for adolescents against HIV in Peru. This opportunity helped me to be aware of the many difficulties that adolescents living with HIV have to face to participate and get organized at a regional level. I have also had the opportunity to participate in other important regional events on HIV/AIDS, such as the Laços Sul-Sul network. Through my participation in this Brazilian-led network, I became involved in South to South cooperation, as well as part of an inspiring network of adolescents working to prevent HIV/AIDS across Latin America, Africa and Asia.
Recently, I have had the opportunity to facilitate a workshop in Jamaica on HIV/AIDS in the Caribbean and Young Key Affected Populations, including men who have sex with other men, transgender populations, sex workers and drug users. Through this training, I have helped to raise the awareness of policy makers and other colleagues in the Caribbean working in the UN system on the importance of working with these populations to address the multiple dimensions of stigma, discrimination and HIV/AIDS.
I feel fortunate to be part of the United Nations Volunteers (UNV) programme, as I have had the opportunity to learn a great deal during my tenure, as well as to give something in return towards improving programmes and policies for people in my region.

Falklands will reply to Mr Timerman next month, when the referendum, said Governor Haywood
Falkland Islands governor Nigel Haywood said that the "Islanders will reply in next month's referendum" whether Argentina could be in control of the Malvinas archipelago 'within twenty years', as was announced by Argentine Foreign Minister Hector Timerman earlier this week in London.
"The reply on the possibility that the Islands become Argentine will be given by the Islanders in the (March 10/11) referendum", said Governor Haywood in dialogue with Argentina's news agency DyN (Diarios y Noticias) Friday morning.
"And the decision to hold a referendum" on the current political status of the Falklands as a British Overseas Territory has the full support from the UK government", added Mr. Haywood.
On March 10/11 the Falklands' people will be saying Yes or No to the question: "Do you wish the Falkland Islands to retain their current political status as an Overseas Territory of the United Kingdom?"
Jan Cheek, Member of the Falklands elected Legislative Assembly was also interviewed by DyN and said that during the two-day referendum "there will be international observers from very respectful international organizations", although preferred not to give names.
"Unfortunately the Argentine government will try to press them to withdraw", said MLA Cheek who this week was in London together with MLA Dick Sawle and met with Foreign Secretary William Hague among other high level UK government officials and MPs.
The Argentine government has anticipated that it considers the referendum "illegal", because as explained by Minister Timerman in London, "the UN declared that the organizing nation of the referendum is an implanted population in the Malvinas since 1833, when London forcibly expelled the Argentine inhabitants".
Nevertheless the Falklands' government is going ahead with the organization of the referendum which will have five balloting places, three in East Falkland, one of them mobile, and two in West Falkland, one of them mobile. The budget for the referendum was announced at £ 62.000 and volunteers have been called to help on the two days (March 10/11) and will be paid £ 7.89 the hour.
"The result will be announced immediately after the recount of votes is completed and verifies, and should be finished on the same night of March 11", MLA Jan Check revealed to DyN.

Kevin Durant Likes Derek Fisher As Knicks Coach
Kevin Durant said Tuesday that Thunder guard Derek Fisher would be a good fit for the New York Knicks coaching job.
When asked Tuesday by The Post if he felt Fisher had the attributes to be a solid coach, Durant said, ?Without a doubt. He's a smart guy, smart mind. He's a great motivator, great speaker and can really relate to a lot of guys and demands that respect from everybody. He's a great locker-room guy. I'm sure he'll do a great job.''
"I mean, what else is Durant going to say? He's a teammate that Durant lobbied for when he was a free agent three years ago. Durant loves him and has openly been petitioning him to play another season with the Thunder. But Fisher says he's done, that this is his last season. And the Knicks allow him to transition smoothly to coach with Phil Jackson as mentor, and make a lot of money."

Therm-a-Rest Trekker Lounge
Awesome piece of equipment wouldn't go out without…
Price Paid: $45
Awesome piece of equipment wouldn't go out without it. The best feature is you don't have to remove your pad from the chair ever just fold and roll it up.
I have a tent sack from a Hubba Hubba that it fits in perfectly. The instructions say to remove the poles to roll it up but that doesn't make sense because the poles are really hard to get out but all you have to do is roll it up the other way and it works great, much simpler.
Best piece of gear i have ever had. David Hall

Review of Njoy Pure Plug 2 by Passion Customer
Its large and heavy, but there is nothing this heterosexual guy loves more than when my wife inserts in my ass before we fuck.
Review of Njoy Pure Plug 2 by Passion Customer
I got this in the post yesterday with the njoy large pure plug. I bought both as i wasn't sure if i was able to take this size yet. I shouldn't have worried. This toy is exquisite. It is a lot bigger and heavier than the large plug but it still is very comfortable for long periods and does not slip out at all. In fact it will not come back out any easier than it goes in. I would highly recommend both plugs. This is one of the few times i was not disappointed by a sex toy. Normally they exaggerate their effects but not in this case. Massive prostate stimulation all the time. There is as much stimulation from the weight as from the size. I think i will be using this a lot. Good job its made of strong stuff.
Ask a question about this item
I'm looking at this with interest, however my current toy is 1.989" in diameter.
Do they do one a little bigger? I love the look and the idea of this one, just want a bit larger...
There is not another plug that is bigger than this, the next metal toy size up is the Njoy Eleven which is a huge metal dildo.

The Must-Follow Money Rules for Couples
When it comes to how to handle money as a couple, advice runs the gamut from one extreme to the other. Talk to lawyers (especially divorce lawyers) and they'll probably tell you to keep all of your money separate. Talk to your local priest or minister and he or she may say you must share everything with your spouse.
There are some edicts, however, that always ring true. The rules below will help you not only have a better financial life together, but may actually help you do more lovin' together.
It's not so much how you divvy your money up, but that you both agree on a method and stay informed.
Some women marry later in life and, as they've been paying their own way and saving and investing for 15-plus years, are happy to keep their finances completely separate. Some other perfectly happy gals walked the aisle in their 20s and immediately blended their finances with their husbands. And then there's me. My husband and I put money into a joint household account to take care of household bills and goals, but also keep our own personal accounts—the same when it comes to credit.
Here's what matters: does it work for you both? If it does, you're probably OK. But, if you don't like your financial arrangement with your spouse or partner, have that discussion and change it up.
However, if you're OK with things because you prefer not to know a thing, it's time for your wake-up call. I had a male guest on my show once, a certified financial planner, who told me that his wife knows nothing about their finances—nothing! My response, "WHAT?! How could you?!" (I liked the guy, but he went down several notches in my book after this revelation.) He said that she was fine with it. She didn't want to know. This is the only arrangement that should set off alarm bells. Even if you're a stay-at-home mom, you must know at least the basics of where the money is, how much there is, and where it's going.
Why? Because you cannot afford to not stay informed, no matter your financial arrangement. We live longer, are more likely to have to care for children and aging parents and we're more likely to have less money in retirement. The odds are stacked against us. Find an arrangement that makes you both secure and informed, and you'll be happier.
Someone has to be in charge
Every household needs a Chief Financial Officer. And no, it shouldn't automatically be the guy. Which one of you is better with money? Which of you always pays bills on time and has a great credit score? Managing the money can feel like a chore if you're always saddled with doing all the work, but there needs to be someone who takes the initiative to keep track of everything—not just bill-paying, but your goals as a couple too.
Quelle surprise, I'm the head of the money-household at home—I make sure bills are paid, savings are made and I monitor our investments as well. And the majority of you say that you do the same. Pew Research found that women tend to rule the roost when it comes to making financial decisions. In almost half of all households women say that they are in charge of money matters while only 23% say their husbands are and 29% say it's a joint operation.
But, that doesn't mean that what I say goes, no matter what. Family CFO's are not tyrants. As household CFO your job is to keep the team informed as well as to be open to changes and disagreements along the way. I make sure to communicate almost daily with my husband about financial obligations as well as upcoming big bills or purchases, and most fun of all, how we can reach goals together.
Stay informed. Feel secure. Two things that are sure to net you fewer scuffles and more snuggles!

I've met some interesting characters whilst door knocking over the weekend, not all of them pleasant.
One veteran and former trades unionist told me that he thought the litter at the end of his garden would have been collected more regularly had Hitler won the war. I tried my best but where do you start?
Another, in front of a group of older people, said that he was voting BNP because he "hated those black b******s". Seldom have I seen such in-your-face racism.
Still, despite this, it struck me that there has not been a great journey from Labour to the Tories in the last 12 months. In fact, if anything, there is more disenchantment with the Conservatives than last year. I know that my area might not be like other parts of the Union, but Sandwell can't be the only borough where they are failing to make an impact. Can it?

The National Hurricane Center reported in its 4 p.m. update that hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 60 miles, mostly to the northeast and east of the storm's eye, and tropical storm-force winds extend outward up to 185 miles.
Issac is becoming better organized and remains a Category 1 hurricane, according to the update. The center of the storm should make landfall this evening in southeastern Louisiana.
Storm surges and heavy rainfall -- between 7 and 14 inches with isolated incidents of 20 inches -- are expected to cause widespread flooding. Isaac's is moving at a slow pace of 8 mph.
The combination of storm surges and high tides "will cause normally dry areas near the coast to be flooded by rising waters."
The National Hurricane Center continues to predict storm surges at 4 feet to 8 feet in Alabama and 6 feet to 12 feet in Mississippi and Louisiana.
Alabama remains under a tropical storm warning, while Mississippi and Louisiana are under a hurricane warning.

"Divergent" reviewed by Natalia KE on February 8, 2013
What would you do if your entire life you were raised to believe and follow one set of rules, be one way, one personality, in one faction? And then, when you were 16, you were tested to see if you truly belonged where you were? Then, of course, you must add in the variables: There are only four molds (fractions) and you must fit one of them. If you move to another faction, there is the high chance that you will never see your family again.
But what if you didn't fit the mold? You were different? And if told anyone this, you had the potential to be killed? This is what happens to Beatrice Prior, a girl who feels that she will never fit into her faction, Abnegation, which values selflessness. But to choose to leave a family, abandon all you know, how will Beatrice handle even the idea?
This story is a young-adult fiction sci-fi dystopian story. It is compelling and full of suspense, an exciting read that will be difficult to set down. For anyone who loves compelling dystopian.
It's actually 5 (Abnegation,
It's actually 5 (Abnegation, Dauntless, Amity, Erudite, and Candor), but I'll let that slide.

Excellent op-ed in the Winnipeg Free Press by Sam Tsemberis and Vicky Stergiopoulos
In Canada, we conducted the largest randomized controlled trial of its kind in the world on homelessness by comparing housing-first to services as usual (the At Home/Chez Soi study) involving 2,255 participants who were homeless across five Canadian cities (Moncton, Montreal, Toronto, Winnipeg and Vancouver). The one-year results, recently reported by the Mental Health Commission of Canada, indicate HF is significantly more effective than services as usual in providing stable housing for people who had been homeless for years and who have complex clinical needs.
Also compelling was the finding that for every two government dollars invested in the HF program, $1 was saved. Savings were even greater for those who used services the most, with $3 saved for every $2 spent.
It's no wonder the federal government supports housing-first: It is highly effective and can save money.
So Canada is on the right track. We have both funds and evidence-based policy for moving forward on homelessness. However, we still face two major hurdles in order to successfully meet a housing-first model.
First, the majority of programs currently funded across the country can be described as providing services for people who are homeless. Shelters, drop-in centres, and especially transitional or short-term housing programs must be helped to shift resources to programs that end homelessness instead. We will need to invest in providing training and consultation services to communities so they will obtain the guidance and support, timelines, and performance indicators necessary to move the system toward this new, much-needed direction.
The second hurdle concerns implementing housing-first programs so they are consistent with the basic principles of the model that achieved the outstanding outcomes in the At Home/Chez Soi study. Housing-first moves people rapidly from shelters or the streets into stable housing and provides evidence-based clinical and social supports to address social, mental-health, health, addiction, educational, employment issues and others. By providing services using a team approach and co-ordinating housing, clinical and social supports, this model reduces problems associated with fragmentation of services and improves inter-sectoral collaboration that usually plagues individuals and families seeking treatment.
In other words, housing-first, if implemented properly will transform public services across the country as we know them, and to do this effectively, teams will need adequate support and guidance to do so.

New Brunswick will launch a campaign against gun violence by promoting an anonymous tipline students can call to warn authorities about threats, officials said today.
Through a $205,504 grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the SPEAK UP campaign will be introduced to the city and its youth in the next year and include educational and media components in the city's middle schools.
The hotline was launched in 2002 by New York City-based PAX/ Real Solutions, a nonprofit designed to eliminate gun violence. Since then, the hotline has received 20,000 calls, and 731 of those calls were from anonymous New Jersey residents.
"I know the importance of providing prevention for students in an anonymous way," said New Brunswick Police Sgt. Raymond Trigg, who will run the outreach program in city middle schools. "Especially because a lot of kids are concerned with being a rat or a snitch."
The program will include five billboards a month for the next eight months across New Brunswick in addition to the curriculum component in sixth grade health classes. Similar programs have been launched in Los Angeles and Pittsburgh, said Dan Gross, head of PAX.

A 32-year-old man from Vaudreuil-Dorion is facing charges in Ontario in connection with what police are calling a "grandparent scam" that targeted an elderly American woman.
Jackson Benjamin-Roy is charged with one count of fraud over $5,000, as is an unnamed 32-year-old woman from Kingston, Ont.
Police in Kingston say the intended victim — who lives in Illinois — got a phone call from a man claiming to be a Kingston lawyer, who said her grandson was in a car accident and needed her to send $8,400 to help pay for repairs and court costs.
The woman recognized the scam but played along to obtain additional details, which she gave police.
Detectives determined the address given by the suspect to send the money was a vacant Kingston residence listed for sale, and a dummy package was sent to the address without any money in it.
Police say a woman was later seen on the vacant property and was arrested earlier this month when she was found to have the dummy package in her possession.
A 32-year-old Kingston woman — whose name is not being released — is charged with one count of fraud over $5,000, as is 32-year-old Jackson Benjamin Roy of Vaudreuil-Dorion, Que., near Montreal.

The corruption-plagued SNC-Lavalin Group Inc., Canada's largest construction and engineering firm, announced that it has hired a new chief compliance officer to replace Andreas Pohlmann, who will become a consultant on June 1.
Replacing Pohlmann will be David Wilkins, who for the past six years headed compliance at the Dow Chemical Company. Wilkins, who will report to SNC's chief executive officer, also is former general counsel of the Dow subsidiary Union Carbide Corporation and ex–chief diversity officer of the American Red Cross.
"Having witnessed the rapid progress SNC-Lavalin has made over the past year to strengthen its ethics and compliance framework, I am thrilled to be on board," Wilkins said in a statement. "SNC-Lavalin's employees have shown the world that they have turned the page."
Montreal-based SNC hired Pohlmann in March 2013 to help it reform a compliance-challenged company humiliated by corruption probes and lawsuits. Pohlmann, who was not immediately available for comment, is a veteran compliance expert from Germany who was hired by engineering giant Siemens AG to reform its programs after its own bribery scandal in 2008.
SNC needed similar help. After a lengthy probe, last April the World Bank Group debarred SNC and 100 of its affiliates from participating in bank-financed projects because of bribes paid on World Bank–backed projects in Bangladesh and Cambodia.
In his time at SNC, Pohlmann told Corporate Counsel magazine that he centralized the compliance efforts into one global department, helped change the "tone at the top" to support compliance efforts, implemented massive training programs, and instituted due diligence procedures and other investigative processes to probe any hint of wrongdoing.
In his new job as a consultant, SNC said Pohlmann would work closely with Wilkins and have "a strategic focus on ongoing World Bank compliance initiatives."
Satisfying the terms of the World Bank's debarment agreement is crucial to SNC for several reasons. First, the debarment can be reduced to eight years if the companies comply with all conditions of the deal.
Second, the remainder of SNC subsidiaries not debarred could still be excluded from World Bank contracts if they fail to comply with the terms.
But perhaps most important, compliance carries global economic consequences for the company. That's because more than just World Bank projects are at stake.
The World Bank exclusion marked SNC for cross-debarment by other multilateral development banks (MDBs) under the 2010 "Agreement on Mutual Enforcement of Debarment Decisions" [PDF]. Under that agreement entities debarred by one MBD, such as the World Bank, may be sanctioned for the same misconduct by the others.
The mutual enforcement agreement was signed by the African Development Bank Group, the Asian Development Bank, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development and the Inter-American Development Bank Group, as well as by the World Bank.
SNC's debarment is the longest ever imposed by a World Bank settlement. The embarrassment, and ensuing international criticism, inspired Canada's Parliament to pass amendments toughening the country's anticorruption law.

Rash of cancellations tear apart personal TV schedule
My lovely wife, Marlie, and I came to a stark realization while relaxing and watching some television last weekend: We seem to be TV cursed.
I should probably note right off the bat that we watch a lot of TV. By my quick count, the two of us set our DVR to record about 15 shows one or both of us make a point to watch on a weekly basis.
After a particularly busy week for us both, we were sitting down trying to burn through the shows we hadn't yet watched, and it occurred to me that a good portion of those shows, possibly even half, won't be returning next season.
Among the shows soon to vacate our DVR include Thursday night stalwarts "The Office" and "30 Rock"; a couple of charming new comedies, "Don't Trust the B" and "Ben and Kate"; and two of my favorite nerdy, superhero cartoons, "Green Lantern" and "Young Justice."
Add to that Louis C.K.'s hilarious and award-winning FX series "Louie," which will be taking a year off, and a few of our favorite comedies -- especially the consistently underrated "Community" -- always seem to be teetering on the edge of cancellation. Things aren't looking good for my television time in 2013.
Among the shows left behind are comedies that should've ended already ("How I Met Your Mother"), at least one cheesy basic-cable mystery/drama that Marlie can't get enough of ("Pretty Little Liars") and cartoons ("Adventure Time" and "Bob's Burgers").
I'm starting to think that our tastes don't matter much to the decision-makers in Hollywood despite our being firmly entrenched in what's supposed to be the most desirable group of viewers -- those of us between 18 and 49 years old.
I'm sure all of the time the recently axed shows once occupied will soon be filled with obnoxious reality singing competition shows with increasingly stupid gimmicks. Who says you have to stop with just the judges using those spinning chairs from "The Voice"? Why not have the contestants spinning in them while singing and call it "The Top."
Maybe we should join the ever-increasing group that cuts off its cable service entirely and gets its regular television sustenance from Hulu and Netflix.
If we just spend our time watching shows that have been long gone from the airwaves, possibly "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" or the incredibly charming Adult Swim cartoon "Home Movies," we don't have to worry about them being canceled any more than they already are.
Or maybe I could just find a more productive way of spending my time than watching TV.

CARLISLE — The Carlisle Area School Board agreed to loan its educational foundation $16,282 to pay two bills to a consulting firm during its meeting Thursday night.
The Bison Foundation of the Carlisle Area School District, dedicated to subsidizing educational, cultural and athletic programs in the district, is out of cash.
It needs the district loan to pay two $7,800 monthly bills to Camp Hill-based NCS Group until the organization receives more donations, said Shawn Farr, the district's finance director.
The consulting firm is consulting the foundation, which reorganized within the past year, on its fundraising campaign.
The foundation signed a 12-month contract with NCS, and pays it about $7,800 each month for its services. It will owe the firm an additional $24,000 before the contract expires, said Farr.
The foundation, formerly known as The Carlisle Foundation, was established in 2001, but went dormant several years ago.
The foundation has raised $110,750 since it reorganized, but $100,000 of it is in the form of verbal commitments the organization has yet to receive.
The foundation is reapplying for an official nonprofit status, and fundraising should increase after it receives its official certification, said School Board Member Linda Manning.
