Lakers make it look easy against Mavericks
Despite the Lakers many changes this season, they still find a way to dominate the Mavericks again.
DALLAS — Already in this young season, the
Los Angeles Lakers have changed personnel, coaches and systems. But on Saturday in Dallas came a constant: A 115-89 laugher that marks the Lakers' 103rd win over the Mavs in 135 regular-season tries.
These Lakers aren't the legendary Lakers of yore — at least not yet. LA is just 7-7 (the same record to which Dallas dropped) after having entered the weekend with two straight losses and an 0-4 road record. Kobe Bryant is still the centerpiece, but stellar new center Dwight Howard has back problems, stellar new point guard Steve Nash is out with a shin problem, Pau Gasol is struggling with his role and minutes, and Mike D'Antoni — just hired to replace the fired Mike Brown — is working to implement yet another Lakers offensive system.
All in all, it probably shouldn't have been as easy as it looked against Dallas.
The Lakers, D'Antoni said, "were very focused with a lot of energy and this was the fourth game in five nights — and they had it. So we should expect this every night. I think they will. I think once they feel comfortable with things, I think we'll have this kind of effort every time."
It was Dallas that opened the season by upsetting the regal Lakers in LA. That — and other blips on the radar — have kept the Mavs relevant as they wait for the post-surgery, mid-December return of Dirk Nowitzki. But the Mavs were completely outclassed here — so much so that late in the game, the Lakers fans who populated the American Airlines Center rained down chants of "Let's Go Lakers" toward the court.
Were the chants embarrassing?
"It was embarrassing before that," said
Mavericks forward Elton Brand.
LA's dominance came from every bit of the roster, featuring Metta World Peace, who scored the Lakers' first 10 points, had 16 in the first quarter and settled for 19 in the game. World Peace's work typified the advantages LA exploited here, as Dallas coach Rick Carlisle noted both the high number of "blow-bys" and the fact that the Lakers players are physically stronger than their Dallas counterparts. (That truth exhibited: the 61-39 rebounding disparity.) The dominance came from an offense that shot 65 percent in the first quarter and that totaled 65 first-half points, an offense trying to figure out D'Antoni's high-octane system and maybe just doing just that here.
"I've been (facilitating) a lot more," said Bryant. "Scoring comes pretty easy for me, so I wind up kind of averaging what I average, even if I'm facilitating a lot."
And when Nash comes back?
"I'll be scoring a lot more," Bryant said. "I don't have to facilitate as much. Everybody can kind of go to their natural positions. It enables me to do what I do best, which is to put the ball in the hole."
Gasol has seemed uncertain about his role and his burn, but so what? He had 13 points and nine rebounds in 28 minutes. Bench leader Antawn Jamison may be seeing his role shift, too, but so what? He had 19 points and 15 rebounds in 30 minutes.
And D'Antoni is talking about the Lakers being able to do this every night?
Even as the Lakers struggle to find their way, that is a scary thought for the rest of the West, including the Mavs, who are trying to avoid using Dirk's absence as a crutch.
"When we were 4-1 it wasn't a problem," Carlisle said, "and we're not going to make it a problem. … That's all bull----."
There are similar expletives that apply to the work of virtually every Mav. Center Chris Kaman had season-lows across the board, with four points, three rebounds and 16.7-percent shooting. OJ Mayo (13 points) has been Dallas' best player this season, but Saturday marked the first game this season that Mayo didn't hit at least one 3-pointer, missing five tries. Brand went 0 of 3 and had five fouls in 17 minutes. Troy Murphy was 0 of 2 and also went scoreless. Darren Collison had more turnovers (three) than points (two) and shot 1 of 10. Only rookie Jae Crowder's 15 points kept Dallas from being worse that its 37-percent shooting.
"No sense in beating around the bush," Dallas' Shawn Marion said. "They whooped our a--."
There may be a time coming when the Lakers stop making more changes . . . and start whooping more a--.

Missouri Department of Insurance reaches settlement with Nationwide Insurance after market conduct exam
Jefferson City, Mo. - Missouri insurance regulators today announced a settlement agreement with Nationwide Agribusiness Insurance Co. and Farmland Mutual Insurance Co. after a market conduct examination into their handling of workers' compensation insurance. Department of Insurance Director John M. Huff announced that as part of the settlement, Missouri will receive $142,250 and policyholders will receive $250,000 in restitution.
The settlement was reached after a market conduct examination revealed that Nationwide offered a dividend plan to some policyholders, but not to other policyholders. The companies will pay $250,000 to policyholders excluded from the dividend plan. The exam also found that Nationwide and Farmland failed to properly apply the Second Injury Fund surcharge rate to premium, utilized base rates that were not on file with the department and failed to apply the administrative surcharge rate to premium. As a result of the additional findings, the companies will pay $142,250 to the Missouri State School Fund.
In market conduct exams and investigations, the Department of Insurance reviews insurance company practices regarding the treatment of policyholders. This includes the way premium rates are charged, the way insurers handle claims and other responsibilities under state law. These reviews can result in refunds for consumers, fines and corrections in business practices, as well as other remedies. Since the beginning of 2009, market conduct enforcement actions have generated more than $20 million in payments from insurance companies. The money goes toward refunds for consumers, general revenue and the State School Fund.
Consumers who have complaints or general questions about life and other types of insurance can call the department's Insurance Consumer Hotline at 800-726-7390 or by visiting insurance.mo.gov.

DUMBO, which stands for "Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass", is a tiny Brooklyn waterfront neighborhood with remarkable views of Manhattan as well as the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges, and runs from Old Fulton Street in the south to the Brooklyn Navy Yard in the north, from Nassau Street and the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway on the east, to the Brooklyn Bridge on the west. The neighborhood is a cluster of various sized old warehouses and loft buildings that are a mixture of office space, artist workspace, residential condominiums and rentals. In the 1890s, the western portion of the neighborhood was known as Fulton Landing, after the ferry stop that connected it to Manhattan before the Brooklyn Bridge opened. Then, it was primarily a manufacturing district, which included warehouses, and factories that made machinery, paper boxes and Brillo soap pads. The cardboard box was invented in the Robert Gair building on Washington Street, which is now the home to several creative agencies and technology companies. Transportation from Dumbo is by the F train at York Street and the A & C trains at High Street, or by Water Taxi from the Fulton Ferry Landing, making it a swift commute to downtown Manhattan.
With deindustrialization, Dumbo started to become primarily residential, when artists and other young home seekers began looking for relatively large and inexpensive loft apartment spaces for studios and homes in the late 1970s. Just to the north is the neighborhood of Vinegar Hill, which contains charming nineteenth-century houses and Belgian-block streets. This tiny area with a historical name has cobblestone streets and modern luxury condos. To take advantage of Dumbo's stellar views, the 33-story J Condo, the tallest building in the area, offers an observatory deck as well as a lobby lounge, fitness center and a 24-hour doorman. The historic Eagle Warehouse and Storage Company at 28 Old Fulton Street, a landmark loft co-op building that was once home to the offices of Walt Whitman, offers sprawling layouts, original details and views of downtown Manhattan and the glow of the Brooklyn Bridge. Dumbo rentals like 220 Water Street and 25 Washington Street offer uniquely redesigned interiors, exposed brick, original columns and central air.
Dumbo has emerged as one of New York City's premier arts districts, with art galleries such as the Klompching Gallery, and not-for-profit institutions like St. Ann's Warehouse and the A.I.R. Gallery. Chef Jacques Torres opened a chocolate factory in Dumbo, where visitors can glimpse the factory in action and peruse store shelves filled with chocolate treats. Grimaldi's on Front Street offers exceptional pizza from coal-fired ovens, and a line that typically wraps around the entire block. The Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory on the corner of Old Fulton and Water Streets delivers simple, pure and delicious sundaes, banana splits and milk shakes, produced directly from their two Brooklyn locations in small batches. The River Café is an elegant restaurant nestled under the Brooklyn Bridge, which serves a wonderful classic New American menu using only the finest, freshest and often rare ingredients. Old Fulton Street is home to Juliana's Pizza and, just around the corner is Ignazzios Pizza. Shake Shack will also be opening on the corner of Old Fulton and Water street in 2014.
Fulton Landing, which has great historical significance as the site of the original ferry between Brooklyn and Manhattan in 1642, is also home to Bargemusic, a floating venue for classical music. Conveniently located at the foot of Fulton Street, this famous small landing juts out onto the water. Brooklyn Bridge Park, a joint state/city venture presently under development, is a world-class waterfront park with lush gardens, river-front promenades, rolling hills, and spectacular city views. The park also includes sand volleyball courts, bicycle and running paths, a boat launch, numerous playgrounds, a picnic area, as well as a dog run and pool.

But it does not – repeat not – mean the end of The Jonas Brothers, Nick tells PEOPLE. "This is something that can definitely co-exist with the Jonas Brothers," he says of his new band.
Still, performing without his brothers will be strange, the 17-year-old singer-songwriter admits. "I've never really stood center stage before," he says. "It's going to be different but I'm looking forward to it."
When Nick goes on tour, he says, Kevin and Joe will be in the audience cheering for him. "My brothers are my biggest supporters. They have told me they're looking forward to coming to the shows. They want to sit in the audience and see it from that perspective."
Nick Jonas & The Administration includes three members of Prince's New Power Generation as well as John Fields, the Jonas Brothers' producer, on bass.
"With three of the four guys being part of the New Power Generation, the funk R & B rock style we were going for is definitely there," Nick says.
Fans can catch a glimpse of Nick Jonas & The Administration at the "Grammy Nominations Concert Live!" special airing Wednesday, Dec. 2 on CBS at 9 p.m. Tickets for the tour will go on sale Dec. 5; presales start Tuesday.

KANAHA - After 10 days of winds surpassing 40 mph, the Maui trades backed off to a more normal 25-30, and Micah Buzianis and Peter Slate had a racing duel at Kanaha Beach Park in Saturday's North Sails Slalom, the first event of the 28th annual Maui Race Series.
"It was crazy wind conditions the last couple of weeks," Buzianis said after winning the pro division and 40-49 titles, with Slate finish second in each.
"Today was really nice, classic summer slalom day. A little swell made it a bit more challenging. You had to time your jibes, even on the reaches a wave would jack up in front of you."

Three weeks ago, Buzianis won the Professional Windsurfing Association's $70,000 Ulsan World Cup in South Korea, defeating defending world slalom champion Bjorn Dunkerbeck of Switzerland. Buzianis, a 41-year-old Paia resident, is the only racer on the PWA tour who represents the U.S.
On Saturday, the 1989 St. Anthony High School graduate was challenged by not only the waves but also Slate, a 41-year-old Kula realtor and former PWA pro.
Slate won the first two races in their 40-49 age group, with Buzianis second. In the third race, they were almost even going to the final outside mark, with Buzianis holding the inside position.
"We knew that race would decide it, because if I won, I would win (the division)," Slate said.
"He was not giving up. We were mast to mast and when I saw him start to turn, I turned. I must have gotten my boom caught on his shoulder or back, and my sail got stuck, and I got thrown over the front."
By the time Slate got back on his board, he had been passed by six more competitors.
Buzianis and Slate then went 1-2 in the fourth and final heat.
The best three finishes are used for a total score, with the fourth serving as a tiebreaker.
"Slate was sailing good," Buzianis said. "His starts were amazing. It was nice to have someone push me out there."
In the pro division, Buzianis had three wins and a runner-up finish while Slate had a win, a second place and two thirds.
"Toward the end I was starting to cramp in my arms and legs and things, and I gave it away in the jibes. That's the difference between an ex-pro and a pro," Slate said.
"I had good starts and good board speed. I was loving it. It's easy to have a good day when you're in the front. I had a good support team with my daughter Caroline."
Buzianis leaves next week for the $50,000 PWA event in Costa Brava, Spain.
"It was really good practice here, super similar to the Canary Islands," he said. "In these conditions, the guys on Maui are some of the best racers in the world."
The other winners were Dan Ellis (19-39), Mike Yasak (50-59), Todd MacFarlane (60 and over), Casey Rehrer (juniors), Reinhard Elischka (semipro), Chris Freeman (expert), Tammy Bockius (women), Deniz Bicaki (advanced) and Connor McKenney and Dax Barker (co-champions in menehune).
The series' next event is the Da Kine Classic, scheduled for June 16 at Kanaha.

Hi there,
I'm looking for some information on the budgets allocated to the initial
definition/design phase in a "typical" website/web application project, ie
requirements gathing, IA, prototyping, wireframing and user testing.
Roughly what percentage is spent on these activities in comparison to the
cost of developing the entire project?
We've been having various internal discussions about the appropriate
allocation of resource (especially within fixed budget projects), so any
statistics you guys have based on your collective experience would be
greatly appreciated.

Often they must leave home in a hurry with nothing but the clothes they are wearing. Sometimes women in such situations are afraid to look out for themselves because they fear for the safety of their pets. Some women stay in a dangerous, perhaps life-threatening situation because they worry about what will happen to their beloved pets if they aren't there to protect them.

Pat Cuneo: Playing games can burn
How our many games -- board games, kid games, head games -- continue to instruct.
National political strategist Matthew Dowd had the Erie Law Day crowd in stitches on Friday as he described how he and his 10 brothers and sisters literally played with fire as kids.
It involved rolling discarded rags from their mom into a big ball, dunking it in gasoline, lighting it on fire and then kicking it at each other, "hot potato" style, in a big circle. The fire couldn't just land on a sibling's clothes to score points. A little of the flame had to stick.
While playing with fire was certainly good preparation for serving in national politics, Dowd was truly taken with how the Erie audience celebrated three community treasures who received the Erie County Bar Association's top awards -- Ed Mead (Liberty Bell Award), Jim Toohey (Chancellor of the Bar) and John Enders (Pro Bono Award). He wasn't alone.
Erie lawyer Jack Quinn gave a heartfelt introduction to the well-liked Toohey, his friend, partner and mentor. And Kevin Cuneo spoke beautifully of the many events, big and small, that Mead covered in his amazing 15,000 daily columns over more than six decades.
The words hit home particularly for all of Mead's family, newspaper family and faithful readers who filled the Bayfront Convention Center ballroom. Believe me, there's not a person in our office who hasn't been touched deeply by Ed's leadership, friendship and kindness for many years.
- Back to the games. Have the critics of U.S. foreign policy in Ukraine never played a game of chess? Or checked out a map of Eastern Europe? Or tried to mount an attack from Irkutsk or Kamchatka in Parker Brothers' "Risk"?
Reality alert: Ukraine is next door to Russia; Vladimir Putin seems pretty unconcerned about inflicting pain on his own people, let alone on the Ukrainians; he's even more popular at home since the takeover of the Crimean peninsula; do critics of President Barack Obama really think this has more to do with the U.S. than with the European Union and Russia's struggle to stay relevant?
Sabre rattling just shows our own hubris, if you ask me. If we were to try to cripple Russia's economy through sanctions, what exactly would be our next move, or Russia's next move?
- Speaking of ignorance, outrageously racist remarks by L.A. Clippers owner Donald Sterling jumped him right to the head of the class with crazed Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy. The truth is, too many racists in America continue to drag down our nation.
- There's a hole on West 21st Street today because VL Holdings LLC and the Village at Luther Square chose to rip down a 157-year-old building at 119-125 W. 21st St.
Another piece of Erie's architectural history was wiped out with no evidence that any effort was made to save, adapt or reuse this property to preserve the building and the character of a historically important neighborhood. Worse, the sneaky way of dealing with the demolition was disgraceful.
Erie's sensitivity to historic preservation has come a long way since a big chunk of downtown was razed in the name of urban renewal. But a historic district ordinance can't happen soon enough if a repeat of this kind of callousness is to be avoided.

Sun Sports Writer
After a disappointing 18-7 loss to Shawnee to start the season, the Washington County Commanders have used an open week to tweak some things and prepare to open their home schedule this Friday night against Western Hills.
WC head football coach Mark Perry assumes responsibility for not having his team ready to play against Shawnee.
The Springfield Police Departments and local M.A.D.D. Chapter wish to remind everyone that Over the Limit. Under Arrest' Crackdown will be observed Sept. 1, 2009 through the Labor Day Weekend.
Some were for it, and some were against it. Either way, about 30 people turned out to see what decision the Washington County School Board would make on the proposed school tax increase.
SCC Sports Information
Even with a super-difficult schedule that includes a tough Mid-South Conference slate, St. Catharine College soccer coach Paul Patton looks for continued improvement this season for both the Patriot men and women.
In April, Leon Smith said he planned to remain as principal of Washington County High School after being a finalist for the Campbellsville Schools superintendent position. He said he would put some "feelers out there," but he would stay in Washington County unless something came up.
On Monday night, something did come up.
Smith, after being named a finalist for the position of superintendent of Russellville Schools in Logan County, was officially named superintendent of that school system.
The Washington County School Board unanimously voted Wednesday night to pass the tax increase from 50.8 to 52.9 cents per $100 of assessed property value.
A group of about 30 people were on hand for the meeting, and a balanced mixture of those in favor were on hand to voice their opinions, as well as a group against the tax increase.
He used to be a Commander, but now he's a Cougar. Washington County graduate Joe Joe Simms signed to play baseball at Mid-Continent University last Friday.
Simms has some interest in Mid-Continent's business program, but he would really like to study biology. He hasn't ruled out the possibility of transferring to a bigger school later.
The first days of the Kentucky State Fair were successful for Washington County 4-H members. I have seen many Washington County families and individuals enjoying the fair and visiting Cloverville to see the completed 4-H projects and the many 4-H events going on during the fair. This week will involve 4-H members showing cattle and local 4-H members presenting and performing on Thursday which will be District 5 Day in Cloverville. Watch in a few weeks for all of the 4-H results from the Kentucky State Fair. Hope to see more of you this week at the fair!
The Kentucky Forage and Grassland Council Field Day will be held on Thursday, Sept. 3, from 4:30 p.m. until 8:30 p.m. I will be going myself if anyone is interested in carpooling, please contact me.
Listed below is the agenda.
1. 11 acres if Eastern Gamagrass Interseeded with Red Clover and Pasja Forage Turnips for Summer Grazing. –Dr. Glen Aiken, USDA Agricultural Research Service Animal Scientist.
2. Alfalfa/Orchardgrass Hay Production and Management - Dr. Garry Lacefield, Extension Forage Specialist.
It's a testament to hard work and dedication when a student-athlete not only excels on the field of competition, but also performs well in the classroom. For all of that hard work, recent WC grads Lee Mudd and Joe Joe Simms were presented academic scholarships from the Washington County football boosters last week.
The boosters present a $500 annual award to a Commander player who displays a continued level of excellence during their years of study, as well as their time in uniform.

Who says you have to pump iron (or, in these days, pop PEDs) to be a slugger? For goodness sake, Babe Ruth did it on hot dogs and beer!
Power hitters come in all shapes and sizes, from a rounded Prince Fielder to a towering Adam Dunn to a perfectly proportioned Albert Pujols.
But wait, what about the skinny guys? You know, the ones who frequently take off days from the gym just because they weren't in the mood (we've all been there).
Surprisingly, some of these players are renowned as some of the best home run hitters in the game.
Let's see who made the list.

Grant Museum of Zoology - Bloomsbury
The Grant Museum of Zoology has moved. Formerly housed in a building not unlike a school science block, it's now located over the road and up a bit. Try to approach from Gower Street if possible, as the stunning Georgian residences are worth seeing en route. There's also a rich seam of blue heritage discs on the buildings, indicating that significant persons formerly lived at these addresses. Probably the densest concentration anywhere in the UK.
If you like your preserved specimens to be human in origin, you're probably thinking of another museum (The Hunterian), but it's nearby so you could visit both in one session. The Grant Museum of Zoology leans towards animals displayed in jars and antique viewing cabinets. Close to the entrance is a glass container, brimful of moles (18 apparently, but looks more). Not an image you're adequately prepared for, so it serves as a useful acclimatisation exhibit for the museum. It's difficult to look at - yet equally difficult to look away. You're caught in a form of intellectual, horror-tinged quicksand. Moving further into the museum, the emphasis veers more towards taxidermy and skeletal displays. A useful opportunity to stand back and survey the surroundings.

One popular art course, The Photographic Vision, employs virtual field trips to enhance the student experience. Primarily an overview of photography, its history and the many genres it encompasses, this course also teaches hands-on techniques. The field trips are designed to expose students to a wealth of historical, educational and artistic knowledge directly related to each module's topic. A visit to the American Museum of Photography provides a history of the discipline, as well as unique exhibitions and research resources. The websites of individual photographers and galleries offer high-quality, contextualized images and lessons in presentation. These in turn assist students as they complete their own photographic assignments for group critiques.
Throughout the course, students take full advantage of experts working in diverse photographic specialities such as journalism, portraiture and documentation. At the National Geographic Magazine site, students find professional advice on specific topics such as "Taking Photos in the Rain" or "Shooting with Available Light" in addition to the vast archive of the magazine's renown images.
During an exploration of nature photography, students visit the website of master Ansel Adams. In a culminating module on fine art photography, inspirational examples include the modern color work of Chris Enos as well as the dreamy, black and white images of Dianne Duenzl, both of Box Set Gallery.
Virtual field trips offer countless pedagogical benefits, the results of which are often evident in lively online discussions grounded in shared experience.

Wheat harvest is under way
By Steve Herring
Published in News on June 11, 2012 1:46 PM
News-Argus/MICHAEL BETTS
William Earl Cruse watches as a leftover field of wheat stalks goes up in flames on the Billy Lee farm near Goldsboro. Area farmers have been using the recent stretch of dry weather to catch up on harvesting their wheat crop. Many burn away the residue to make room for a second crop, usually soybeans. Wayne County farmers planted more than 30,000 acres of wheat this year and most expect a good yield.
News-Argus/MICHAEL BETTS
The remnants of this season's wheat crop burn as land is prepared for next use.
The billowing black plumes of smoke across the Wayne County landscape as fields are burned off tell the tale -- the wheat harvest is under way in Wayne County. "I think we have come through all of this rain well...

Nonprofit Executive Pay as an Agency Problem: Evidence from U.S. Colleges and Universities

August 1, 2013
94 Boston University Law Review 1881 (2014)
Boston Univ. School of Law, Law and Economics Research Paper No. 14-72
Boston College Law School Legal Studies Research Paper No. 279
We analyze the determinants of the compensation of private college and university presidents from 1999 through 2007. We find that the fraction of institutional revenue derived from current donations is negatively associated with compensation and that presidents of religiously-affiliated institutions receive lower levels of compensation. Looking at the determinants of contributions, we find a negative association between presidential pay and subsequent donations. We interpret these results as consistent with the hypotheses that donors to nonprofits are sensitive to executive pay and that stakeholder outrage plays a role in constraining that pay. We discuss the implications of these findings for the regulation of nonprofits and for our broader understanding of the pay-setting process at for-profit as well as nonprofit organizations.

As always, I am not trying to guess how teams will finish the year. I am simply seeding them based on their current résumés.
I like to break teams down into three categories:
1. Wallflowers are bubble teams because everyone wants to go to the Big Dance, but not all have the guts to ask a girl out on the dance floor.
2. Elite teams that are safely in the field are dancing with a hottie.
3. In the middle are the schools that are dancing with their sister.
Last year, I had the most accurate bracket projections in the country, correctly predicting 67 of 68 teams and once again finishing way ahead of ESPN's Joe Lunardi.
I'll begin with the two First Four at-large bid games:
(12a) Alabama vs. (12d) Saint Joseph's
(12b) Saint Louis vs. (12c) Cincinnati
First 14 Teams Out: Washington, Ole Miss, BYU, Arkansas, Oregon, Texas, Oklahoma, UCF, Stanford, NC State, Colorado, South Florida
The projections are presented in slideshow format, with slides consisting of the major conferences. First up is the ACC...

Stiff Little Fingers
During the first wave of U.K. punk rock, plenty of bands sang about a world full of violence and chaos, but Stiff Little Fingers didn't have to imagine a dystopian world -- living in Belfast, Northern Ireland at the height of "The Troubles," police brutality and terrorist violence were simply a part of daily life, and the band's music was a powerful response to what they saw, raw-boned rock & roll that balanced rage at a world gone mad against hope for a better day. Stiff Little Fingers were formed in 1977 by singer and guitarist Jake Burns, guitarist Henry Cluney, bassist Ali McMordie, and drummer Brian Faloon. Burns, Cluney, and Faloon had previously been in a cover band called Highway Star, but when Cluney became a convert to punk rock, Burns and Faloon followed suit, and after recruiting McMordie, they took the name Stiff Little Fingers from a song by the Vibrators.
Shortly after the band started playing out, Burns struck up a correspondence with reporter Gordon Ogilvie, who urged Burns to use his own experiences of Belfast life in his songs; Ogilvie began collaborating with Burns as a songwriter, and Ogilvie and music writer Colin McClelland agreed to manage the band. McClelland booked time for the band at a studio in a local radio station usually used to record commercial jingles; the band cut raw versions of "Suspect Device" and "Wasted Life," two anthemic tunes that became SLF's first single, released on their own Rigid Digits label in early 1978. The influential BBC disc jockey John Peel started spinning "Suspect Device" on his show, and soon the indie label Rough Trade struck a distribution deal with Rigid Digits; in 1979, Rough Trade released Stiff Little Fingers' brilliant first album, Inflammable Material, and it became one of the first independent punk albums to chart in the U.K., rising to 14 on the British sales surveys.
With their new success in England, Stiff Little Fingers relocated to London, which led to drummer Brian Faloon leaving the group (as did co-manager McClelland). Jim Reilly signed on as drummer in time for the sessions for SLF's second album, 1980's Nobody's Heroes, their first LP in a new distribution deal with Chrysalis Records. The album fared well, as did the 1980 live set Hanx! and 1981's polished but effective Go for It. However, Reilly quit the band after the release of Go for It, and Dolphin Taylor, formerly of the Tom Robinson Band, took over behind the drums. Released in 1982, Now Then... was a more pop-oriented effort that didn't please fans and made no great impression on the charts; as ticket sales began to lag, acrimony rose within the group, and in early 1983, Jake Burns announced Stiff Little Fingers had broken up.
Little was heard from the members of Stiff Little Fingers (though Burns released a few singles with his group Jake Burns & the Big Wheel) until 1987, when Burns and Ali McMordie got together for a few pints and decided it was time to give SLF another try. With Henry Cluney and Dolphin Taylor returning to the lineup, Stiff Little Fingers launched a successful tour of the U.K. and Europe, and the group opted to make the reunion an ongoing concern. In 1991, the band began work on a new album, but McMordie bowed out of SLF, saying he was unable to commit to their increasingly busy schedule, and the group recruited a new member, former Jam bassist Bruce Foxton. Issued in 1991, Flags & Emblems became the first new Stiff Little Fingers album since their reunion, but by the time they released Get a Life in 1994, Henry Cluney was out of the group, with Burns handling all guitar work in the studio and Dave Sharp (formerly of the Alarm) or Ian McCallum joining SLF for live dates, depending on availability. In 1998, McCallum was officially named Stiff Little Fingers' full-time guitarist, while drummer Steve Grantley had taken over for Dolphin Taylor, who left to spend more time with his family.
Stiff Little Fingers toured frequently and continued to record, releasing Tinderbox in 1997, Hope Street in 1999, and Guitar and Drum in 2003, and after Foxton left to join the group From the Jam in 2006, Ali McMordie returned to the lineup. However, by his own admission, Burns was unhappy with his own songwriting, feeling he was writing because he had to and not because he wanted to, and in 2008, after turning 50 years old, he decided to scrap an SLF album in progress as he felt his material was subpar. However, several years later, when news broke of the pedophilia scandal in Ireland's Catholic Church and how it affected men of his generation, Burns was inspired to once again write songs that dealt with injustice and how it ravaged the lives of ordinary people. In 2013, Stiff Little Fingers eagerly began work on a new album, financed by their fans through a crowdfunding campaign, and in 2014, No Going Back was released.

Hampshire Treasures
Volume 6 ( East Hampshire)
Page 1 - Alton
|Previous volume (Volume 5, Page 324)
|Next page (Volume 6, Page 3)
The market town of Alton lies eighteen miles north-east of Winchester and for a long time was famous for its hops and breweries.
Edmund Spenser lived here circa 1590, as did Cardinal Newman from 1816-1819.
Eggars Grammar School was founded in 1641.
The town includes several fine Georgian buildings.
William Curtis, the botanist, was born here in 1746 and the Curtis Museum was founded in 1855. The Lord Mayor Treloar Hospital was opened here and has become world famous as a great orthopaedic hospital. The church, which is mainly Perpendicular but with a fine Norman tower, was the scene of the death of the Royalist, Colonel Boles, during a fierce fight with Parliamentary forces in 1643.

Why is it that when loser idiots like Harry Barber (Woody Harrelson) get out of jail, a beautiful girlfriend like Nina (Gina Gershon) is waiting to escort them to some kind of trouble that inevitably involves additional intercourse with someone like Rhea Malroux (Elisabeth Shue)? In "Palmetto" there only seem to be two good-looking women on the planet, and a stupid ex-con is screwing them both.
If I'm going to sit through a slow, boring film like "Palmetto," then my bonus ought to be that the director Volker Schlondorff does his chauvinist-pig best to exploit Elisabeth Shue's naked body. He could toss in Gina Gershon too, if he wanted, but since Shue spends the entire film strutting around with her breasts jacked up under her chin like ripe honeydew melons, the least he could do is let me see them.
For some reason, Schlondorff also thinks there's some correlation between film noir and slow, pointless storytelling. "Palmetto" takes forever to get going, which seems to be Schlondorff trying desperately to explore his own personal style. Hey Schlondorff: Go explore your own personal style in the bathroom, by yourself. When you're out in public, get to the goddamn point.
Barring Shue's breasts, the writers might have tried to throw in a little decent dialogue and maybe some supporting characters that couldn't be mistaken for scarecrows. Then again, scarecrows fit right in given that the rest of the players glide around like zombies -- which is what you'll feel like after this film mercifully ends.

|Cenac delivers unique show at Weill Hall
With an arsenal of hilarious political, silly, yet impressively thought-provoking and intellectual jokes, comedian Wyatt Cenac on Feb. 15 delivered a show at Weill Hall unlike anything the Sonoma State Green Music Center, still in its infancy, has ever seen before.
Cenac is a part-time writer, part-time actor and full-time funnyman best known for his hand in writing shows like the adult-oriented cartoon "King of the Hill" and the parody newsroom "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart," of which he also appeared as a regular co-host alongside fellow writer John Oliver and Stewart himself. Recently, Cenac left the staff of "The Daily Show" after a near four-year run to pursue an independent career in stand-up and comedy.
If his performance at the GMC was anything to preview that new career, we can expect great success for Cenac's future.
Cenac's show was perhaps the most casual and relaxed of any put on at Weill Hall; the usual tightly dressed, champagne-holding audience members were replaced with a more subtle audience, both in appearance and in size. The hall itself was free of carefully placed fake snow, fire heaters or blinding spotlights as has been seen in past shows, like when Yo-Yo Ma visited last month.
Instead, the stage was empty with the exception of two stools and a microphone and the lighting a simple, icy blue glow. When Cenac stepped out on stage, a single spotlight did follow him, but a soft, unintimidating one that focused the audience into a casual and intimate atmosphere that lasted the entirety of the show.
Opening for Cenac was Natasha Muse, who promised the audience she was reportedly the funniest transsexual in all San Francisco. It was hard to disagree with her; Muse had a lively, if not occasionally awkward personality that was easily swallowed and refreshingly funny. She had a beautiful talent of directing your attention away from yourself as she told fun and cute anecdotes about herself, like telling the audience, "I used to be a boy, but then I got better."
By the time Muse had finished giving her set, the audience was a sea of smiles and flushed faces, perhaps blushing from the close encounter with some of Muse's more bodily jokes. Muse bowed, thanked the audience and introduced Cenac to the stage.
Cenac knew the perfect way to reel in his viewers and kick off his show: relate to the audience. With a few short jokes about San Francisco and the Wine Country, Cenac was able to gracefully capture and walk you through the entirety of his performance with your full attention and clutching at your sides in laughter.
Nothing about Cenac's act seemed sloppy or half-baked, yet nor did it seem planned and structured. With his casual air, tight smirks and brief moments of silence as a form of transition between jokes, you could have fooled yourself into believing Cenac was giving you his stand-up over a friendly dinner instead of at a grand performance hall.
What was most impressive about Cenac's brand of comedy, though, was his practiced ability to strut along the edge of controversial and offensive without falling over headfirst. Cenac's smooth, shrugged jokes had a way of turning the gears of your head and leaving you in stitches, like his comparison of the confederacy to that of Batman's number-one villain, The Joker.
That was perhaps the charm of Cenac's humor; his ability to relate the complex and uncomfortable with the familiar and likable. He was able to successfully talk about perhaps should-be controversial issues, like politics, the economy and lifestyles and deliver them in unthreatening, even silly packages that you could easily relate to and laugh at.
Cenac's stand-up show was a refreshingly fun and lively event that left audiences grinning like idiots and probably still cracking up days later. To find out more about the Green Music Center or how you can get tickets to the next event, you can go online to gms.sonoma.edu.

The New York Rangers (28-19-3) defeated the Atlanta Thrashers (23-18-9) by the score of 3-2 in a shootout, tonight. For a recap and box score go to Yahoo! Sports and newyorkrangers.com.
…by far the most impressive win of the season. To be able to defeat a good Thrashers team with a line-up two men down and filled with more AHL talent than NHL is something the team should be very proud of.
…Boyle's skating instructor officially deserves a raise.
…MZA is the new Nigel Dawes in the shootout.
…the save Hank made in the second period with his blocker hand while laying on the ice might have been the sickest I've ever seen.
…Torts has to be the leading candidate for coach of the year.
…it's officially time to forgive Girardi for not coming to Gaborik's aid last year. Assuming he has a broken nose and that he'll get a face shield and be right back in there on Monday.
…0-for-2 on the power play including a 5-on-3 against the 29th ranked pk. Not good.
…Wolski continues to impress with his 3rd goal in seven games as a Ranger. Great hands.
…first real misplay by McDonagh losing position on Stewart on Atlanta's second goal, but I think he lost the puck after the point shot hit Stewart.
…no shifts for Avery in OT? Really Torts?
…let's hope Prust is ok. If not, Grachev scored a hat trick tonight for the Whale.
…real quick, who had the second most ice time tonight? The answer Mike Sauer. Well deserved.
…-2 for Eminger tonight. His game has been slipping lately.
…off tomorrow then to our nation's capital to face the Capitals.

PITTSBURGH - Taking a quick trip among the three pro teams:
n Pirates: Josh Harrison has given this team a boost and deserves to stay in the lineup as long as he has a hot bat.
But full-time duty? Don't get carried away. As much as some people think he's the answer to the poor offense at shortstop, he would seriously downgrade the defense at the most important position in the infield.
Harrison can be plugged in at second or third base now and then. He can play the corner outfield positions, although the spacious left field at PNC Park is a challenge.
That's the answer for Harrison. Play him here and there, but don't overexpose him. Gregory Polanco will soon be coming up to play right field. He'll need an occasional day off in his first exposure to major league competition, and that's a spot for Harrison.
He can get spot duty at second and third, too. He can come off the bench as a pinch hitter. He can be part of late-inning double switches because of his versatility.
Harrison is growing into the super utility role, and he'll be a tremendous asset to the Pirates if he can contribute in that way.
n Steelers: OTAs (that's organized team activities) have started at the team's training complex. Participation is voluntary, and Troy Polamalu has opted out.
He usually skips the workouts, sticking to his own conditioning plan in California. Usually that's no problem. Polamalu is a hard worker, so there's never a concern he'll take it easy in the offseason.
But it would be good if he reported this week. The Steelers are rebuilding the defense. Polamalu's long-time partner at safety, Ryan Clark, is gone.
Polamalu and Clark worked together so long that they knew each other's tendencies. They could communicate almost instinctively, based on their experience working together.
Now Mike Mitchell is taking over Clark's former spot. It would be helpful if he and Polamalu could spend some time together and get a better understanding of each others' game.
After consecutive 8-8 records and non-playoff seasons, the Steelers need to do things differently. They need to do them better, too.
n Penguins: Still no word on a new general manager or on the fate of coach Dan Bylsma. The latest rumor is that ownership wouldn't be opposed in the new GM decided to bring Bylsma back.
That would be a mistake. The players aren't hearing Bylsma anymore. His methods and messages are stale for this group.

On my quest to become a world-renowned supermodel, I decided to try this workout plan that I read about months ago. At first, it didn't really interest me. Now, I wish I had started back then.
I've been doing it for about 4 weeks now and I definitely see results. It's a huge difference from the one I posted last year.
It's called High Intensity Training. I learned about it from a blog post where a guy gained a lot of muscle in a month. He spoke mostly of Arthur Jones and his Colorado Experiment which tested two guys doing one set of heavy weights until momentary failure. The experiment monitored how much muscle the people being tested gained, and how much overall strength they gained. Arthur Jones is inventor of the Nautilus workout machines and founded the Nautilus company.)
Here's my workout plan.
I usually do upper body lifting every other day.
I start out with one set of about half the weight of my high intensity set weight in order to warm up. I do this because I sit at a computer and don't use any muscles all day. I do 12 repetitions of the warmup set.
Then, I do as many as possible of the heaviest weight I can use. When you get to that last one that you can just baaaaarely squeeze out, I hold that one in it's full contraction. Then I let it down slowwwwwly. I let it take about 10 seconds to finish that last slow release. That adds focus on the negative resistance that doesn't usually get as much attention.
Also, each repetition should be done slowly while focusing on good form. Ideally, each one should take 5 seconds in the positive direction, then 5 seconds back to the starting point.
The exercises that I do are:
Bench press, dumbbell curls (either hammer or concentration), single arm dumbbell rows, lateral pull downs, lower back machine, and butterflies on the pec deck. I'm planning to include some type of forearm exercise as well (probably the palms up dumbbell wrist curl). That's it.
It usually takes about 15 minutes. After I finished one day, I checked my heart rate on a treadmill. My pulse was at 140. That's pretty good for lifting weights.
That's what I do Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
What do I do on other days???
I do cardio on Tuesday and Thursday. I run on the treadmill for about 30 minutes overall. I do a 5 minute warmup, then 10-15 minutes running, 5 minute walk, then 10-15 minutes running again.
If you get shin splints (pain and tightness in your shins) like I occasionally do, don't try to run through it. It'll only make it worse for the next time. When it happens to me, I start walking for a while until the tightness goes away. Then I do about 2 or 3 more minutes of running until the tightness comes back. I usually walk the rest of my 30 minutes so I get some activity and keep the heart pumping.
When that's done, I do high intensity leg presses. I do a warmup set then I do as many as I can with the highest weight that I can get moving. I've been worried about breaking or tearing something in my gonad region since I'm using such heavy weight around that part of the body. But I figure that's why I have health insurance.
On some Saturdays, I do yoga in the afternoon. I did it last Tuesday since I gave up tutoring. If you want to know what muscles are weaker than others and what you should pay more attention to, try yoga just once. You'll see how weak you really are when you have to stand on one foot with the other leg crossed in front of you and your hands reaching for the ceiling.
What not to do.
If you misjudge how much weight you can lift and set it for too low, you'll end up being able to do more than 10 or so. Maybe even more than 15. But that's no big deal. Just keep going until you can't do anymore. Next time, use a higher weight.
DO NOT decide to do a second set with higher weights. That's what I did when I first started this. But while reading the Colorado Experiment, I found that was a common mistake amongst us rookies. The most important part of this whole workout is to use high weight and do it until you can't do anymore (momentary failure).
If you try this wonderful workout plan, let me know how it goes for you. If you have any questions about my experiences with it, email me or leave a comment.

Conference Date: April 3-4, 2009
Submission Deadline: December 19, 2008
Location: The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH
Sponsor: The Mershon Center for International Security Studies
The Mershon Center for International Security Studies is pleased to announce its third conference on global history. This symposium will bring together junior faculty and advanced PhD candidates to probe the patterns, limits, and agents of global change in late twentieth century. Panelists will be asked to consider to what extent, and for what reasons, the bipolar balance of power that characterized the early Cold War were increasingly challenged, particularly from the 1970s onward. It is the hope of the conference organizers that, in examining the interplay of new forces for change and the forces resisting change, we might come to better understand the relationships between the global transformations of the late twentieth century and pan-European Empire. Did these transformations mark the "End of Empire" or merely redefine empire?
Students of diplomatic, international, and transnational history, along with economists, political scientists, and specialists in globalization, are especially encouraged to submit papers. The conference will examine themes of globalization and nationalism, as well as warfare, social protest, and political economy. As such, its geographical scope will be broad, focusing not only on the United States and the Soviet Union, but also Western and Eastern Europe, East and South Asia, Latin America, and Africa.
Proposals should include a one-page abstract and one page c.v. Electronic submissions are preferred and should be sent to Alex Poster at email@example.com. Those who prefer a hard-copy submission should send their materials to Alex Poster at 106 Dulles Hall, 230 West 17th Ave, Columbus, Ohio, 43210. Proposals must be received by 19 December 2008. Participants will receive reimbursement for their transportation on the basis of economy fare, meals, as well as accommodation during their stay in Columbus for two nights.

I will be honest, for the most part of my life I didn't know how to say "no". From very early age I learned that saying "no" was impolite, not collaborative and it was just one of those words that you just don't say. "No" meant rejection and pain.. Nobody taught me how to react to "no" and so I lived for the most of my life floating in the realms of things and feeling confused and frustrated; I felt that something was out of balance and some part of me was disabled and hurting for not knowing how to say and accept "no"…
It was only when I moved to California when I learned that saying "no" is sometimes taking care of myself, other times it helps to keep boundaries clear and most importantly, it grounds me in the moment and keeps things simple. I learned that saying "no" is as simple as saying "yes." It is graceful, powerful and not bad at all. "No" doesn't mean rejection. It is not personal. When somebody says "no", it means they are taking care of themselves – what can be more wonderful than seeing a powerful human being in front of you making a choice and not being afraid of it. "No" is always about a person who is saying it. I know that it's hard not to self pity ourselves feeling rejected and not loved when somebody says "no". It's hard to re-learn what "no" really means.
Just try it – be conscious when you say "no" and what you say "no" to. Reassure yourself that you are enough and you are a wonderful person and it's not about you when somebody says "no" to you. Say "no" to things and feel the gracefulness of the moment when you say it and the power of the choice. Be kind and gentle. And don't forget to smile ~

I remember just a year ago admiring beautiful sunset pictures on the Internet and imagining how it feels to see those beautiful sunsets in real life. Never ever in my life I imagined myself seeing the magic of the evening Sun going behind the hills and hiding in the water.. There is some very comforting peacefulness in those few moments when the Sun is about to go down and give the reign to the stars and Moon.

These past weeks I have been questioning the concept of "don't judge a book by its cover." The way I understand it is that I (and anybody else) shouldn't be fast jumping to assumptions and giving in to first impressions. That makes a total sense and I couldn't agree more.
My problem with not trusting first impressions is that often times by not trusting our intuition we end up at a not so pleasant place where the world is upside down and there is nothing more stable than going back to the very first feeling/impression about a person (or anything else for that matter). I have been very generous lately in all of my friendships/relationships and justified my friends' actions that are not acceptable in my own world. What I start realizing is that while it is a really good excersise to be generous and accepting it is also very important to trust your gut instinct/intuition. If you jump to negative assumptions then you should definitely look at yourself and make sure you are not projecting anything. If you jump to positive assuptions and generously look over things then keep the things you looked over in a corner of your eye and see what the next impression of a person will be. Sometimes it is hard because the more generous you are the more you have to learn to overlook things and just let them go – without judgement or any attachment of being right/wrong, good or bad.
Challenge yourself in the next 5 days to see good things about people and compliment them. I am not saying that you should ignore parts that bother your or clash with your worldview. Acknowledge those parts of another person and move on onto something more exciting ~
Let me know how it goes!
Don't waste time on negative and if something really bothers you – just say it. The worst it will do is it will bring one ending and another beginning…

I don't really know what happened and why I neglected my little cute blog. What I know is that it has been too long since my last update/ blog post. I feel if I have some kind of a writing block which has been stopping me from keeping my blog alive..
Anyways, I have been very busy with my little projects these past months – I got many new Girls, I learned about fermentation, I started making my own sauerkraut (who could have thought that it is so easy!), I took couple raw cooking classes and I am approaching the end of my 4th month of green juicing. Exciting! : -)
I also finally got so wanted Nooka watch and a sewing machine – now I have to take some classes and create some neat sewing pieces (I don't know yet if I end up sewing clothing or something more decorative).
Right, I almost forgot, I also did a yoga month challenge and oh how I loved it! Maybe because I am an Earth sign I really enjoy activities that ground me and it might sound silly, but there is something very rewarding and calming about sticking to a routine and committing to challenges.
Tell me something about your New Year and where you head is at!

Here we are again – another year for gift giving and receiving, new goal setting and saying "bye bye" to the old year..
I wish all of you to follow your aspirations and dreams next year, dream big and learn to be disattached from the process of how your dreams come true; be open, follow your hear and be nice to others.
While all of us are different we all have one thing in common – we love and want to be loved. Share your love and let beautiful things come to your life ~

- Using the Grand Nestabilties LF-190 Grand Labels Four #6 and #5 (the smallest die template is #1), I cut/embossed two different pattern papers in the Grand Calibur Then I adhered the papers together.
- On a score board, I placed the die cut on the long side. I scored a line at 4 1/2" and 5 1/2" to make an inch fold in the middle.
- Using S4-126 Classic Square LG #5, I cut/embossed two squares for the ends. I scored at 3/4" and 1 3/4" on the sides. For its bottom, I scored 1/4" and cut with scissors the short score lines to fold into the ends.
- Then with adhesive tape, I adhered the square die cuts to the ends to create the base. What a great shape!
- Next I embellished the front by cutting/embossing with S5-040 Floral Doily Accents Border, Flowers, Long Doily and S5-041 Floral Doily Motifs Large Doily. I trimmed the border and then adhered it to the front.
- I added a rhinestone swirl to the front before layering the die cuts with a combination of EZ Runner and White 3D Foam Squares as shown. I loved how I can easily layer the different pieces in the Accents and Motifs Collection to create a beautiful design in my projects!

Plastic Art
Watch this video. It's kind of a horror show because we know how detrimental this plastic will be to wildlife when it finally detaches from the fence, and there's not much we can do about it. But it's also kind of beautiful because, well, just watch how the sheets blow in the wind like that grocery bag in American Beauty. I have no idea where this plastic came from. I recorded the video on July 13 from the platform of the Rockridge BART station, and today about half of the plastic is still there, blowing as the cars race by on Highway 24.
This painting hangs on my wall. My brother, Will Terry, made it. He's an illustrator. He uses acrylics, plastic paint, for a living. His work is lively and beautiful… and plastic. The work itself may not pollute like the plastic blowing on the fence, but the production of the paint undoubtedly caused some environmental destruction.
I don't have anything wise or even ironic to say about these things tonight. We live in a world full of contradictions. There are no absolute rights or wrongs. I believe we are all just doing the best we can with the limited knowledge and resources that we have. I have to go to bed now and get up early to help out some friends involved in a terrible car accident yesterday. And I may not have time to write tomorrow.
I guess I'm just awed by this universe where the terrible and beautiful collide every day, and most of us survive and carry on without noticing until something jolts out of complacency. Good night. Don't forget to look around you tomorrow. And breathe.

Lying flat on his back as the dentist drilled into a top-left molar to place a silvery filling - his 10th - Kareem Johnson, 33, was vaguely aware of controversy about dental amalgam, which contains a form of mercury.
On his next visit to Society Hill Dental Associates he may have to attest to that awareness with his signature on a document. His dentist may have to sign, too.
City Council yesterday mandated distribution and signing of information sheets before any cavity is filled at any dental office in Philadelphia. Mayor Nutter's approval would propel the city to the front of a debate about the safety of dental fillings that until recently has been a fringe issue. A handful of states require an information sheet but not double signatures.

History-rich Georgia island wins second look on taxesBreaking News
tags: NYT, slavery, Georgia, Gullahs, Geechees, Creole
DARIEN, Ga. — Residents of a tiny barrier island in Georgia on Tuesday won a temporary reprieve from property tax increases that they feared would drive them from their historic community.
Taxes rose by as much as 1,000 percent last year on Sapelo Island, where the country's largest population of Geechees lives. Sometimes called the Gullahs, the Creole-speaking descendants of African slaves have lived on the island and along the coast of the Southeast for more than two centuries.
McIntosh County officials say their land has long been undervalued. But on Tuesday, the county's Board of Equalization sided with the residents and ordered a reassessment of their property....

VIDEO: No Joke. Choice Matters. Everywhere
Can you imagine walking 18 miles to get contraceptives? Or being told your clinic is out of stock? It seems absurd right? But in many countries, this happens every day. Doctors are overworked, under supported, and stressed out. Women struggle to care for their large families and access the services they need, sometimes waiting hours, even overnight to visit a clinic.
We try to make it funny in this video but the reality is no joke. Choice matters about if, when, and how often to have children; choice matters about getting tested for and STI or HIV; choice about sexual and reproductive health matters for all women, everywhere.
If you agree, share this video today! The more people who understand the issues, the more voices we have calling for change.
Even here in the United States, we see barriers to reproductive choice. However, oftentimes those barriers are even more challenging in developing countries. Shannon Wu, one of our donors said, "Most women in America have access to knowledge and health care when it comes to their sexual and reproductive life. But in other parts of the world, women's health is almost always the last thing to be discussed or taken care of, if at all."
Right now more than 222 million women want, but lack access to contraceptives. One woman dies every 90 seconds during pregnancy or childbirth because she lacks access to maternal care. And HIV is the number one cause of death for women of reproductive age in the developing world.
If you want to change these numbers, and improve the lives of women, take a simple action now: share the video. Help start an important conversation with your friends, family, girlfriends, boyfriends, husbands, wives, colleagues that reproductive health care is no joke. Choice matters.
We'd love to know what you think of the video. Did it remind you of the reproductive health care issue that drives you to make a difference? Use the comments below and thank you for sharing!

the availability or compatibility of computer equipment.)
REVIEW PROCESS: All proposals will be subject to blind review
by the ICAF Executive Committee, with preference given to
proposals that observe the above standards. The final number
of papers accepted will depend on the needs of the conference
program as it develops. (In the past ICAF has typically

Angie's List Inc., the Indianapolis- based operator of the eponymous consumer-review website, is seeking $75 million in a U.S. initial public offering as the pace of IPO filings picks up.
The company didn't say how many shares it will sell or at what price, according to yesterday's filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The offering amount is a placeholder number used to calculate registration fees and may change.
Angie's List is one of at least 10 companies to file for a U.S. IPO this week after others shelved offerings at a record pace earlier this month during a global stock-market plunge. In the week ended Aug. 12, 13 IPOs were pulled, the most since 2000, according to Bloomberg data. By yesterday, the Standard & Poor's 500 Index had recovered 3.6 percent since Aug. 8, after U.S. stocks lost more than $2 trillion over three weeks amid Europe's debt crisis and a U.S. credit downgrade.
"Obviously, nobody really knows what's happening with the broader economy or the markets, so it's possible these companies are being overly ambitious," said Nick Einhorn, an analyst at Renaissance Capital LLC, a Greenwich, Connecticut-based IPO research and investment firm. "We saw the market volatility take a toll on IPOs earlier in the month when we had a lot of deals pulled."
Angie Hicks
Angie's List offers reviews of plumbers, electricians and other service providers to paying site members, which numbered more than 820,000 as of June 30. The site was started by Angie Hicks in 1995, who was the company's president until 1998, when she took a leave of absence to get a master's in business administration from Harvard University. Hicks is now the chief marketing officer, according to the filing.
The net loss at Angie's List more than doubled to $25.8 million in the six months through June 30 as revenue increased 40 percent to $38.6 million in the same period, according to yesterday's filing. Marketing costs, which include spending on advertising to attract new users, jumped 89 percent. Proceeds of the offering will be used to fund advertising and for working capital.
Angie's List hired Bank of America Corp. to lead the IPO. Current shareholders include Battery Ventures, with an 18 percent stake, affiliates of BV Capital with 12 percent, and T. Rowe Price Group Inc., with 9.8 percent, according to the filing.
