(This note is not part of the Order)
The Legal Services Act 2007 ("the 2007 Act") contains a scheme requiring the authorisation of those who provide certain legal services ("reserved legal activities"). Part 5 of the 2007 Act (alternative business structures) provides that bodies which have been designated as licensing authorities under Schedule 10 to that Act may issue licences to firms which are wholly or partly owned or controlled by those who are not so authorised, permitting those bodies to offer legal services, or a mixture of legal services and other services, to the public. Schedule 13 to that Act requires that, before granting such a licence, the licensing authority must approve the holding by a non-authorised person of certain interests in the body (known as a restricted interest).
This Order amends the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975 so as to permit a licensing authority to ask about spent convictions and cautions when deciding whether to give such approval.
A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as it has no impact on the private or voluntary sectors.
1974 c.53. Schedule 2 was inserted by paragraphs 1 and 6 of Schedule 10 to the Criminal Justice and Immigration Act 2008 (c.4).
There are amendments to article 3 which are not relevant to this Order.
Paragraph 6 of Schedule 13 to the Legal Services Act 2007 makes provision as to when the approval requirements are met in relation to a person.
For the definition of "restricted interest" and "licensed body" see respectively paragraph 2 of Schedule 13 to, and section 71 of, the Legal Services Act 2007.

I was invited to participate in our Company's Safety Committed, and I was asked to create or work on a Safety Committee Mission Statement.
Any ideas.

We don't really have a mission statement actually stated for our Safety Committe. However, we have in the outline for the organizational rules of the committee what I believe to be as close to having one without deeming it the mission "statement":
"The Safety Committee is organized to present and find solutions for safety concerns. The goal of the committee is to make the work environment of each individual safer."
I know this is very simple, but I think that a Safety Committee's focus should really be directed toward one aspect: take whatever steps necessary to make everything as safe as possible through collective discussion & presentation of solutions for safety concerns that hopefully will result in safe resolutions for those issues.

Some states (14 that I know of) require safety committees at workplaces with some minimum number of employees, and their regulations may prescribe a mission for you. If you're not in one of those states, here are some ideas for language:
"[Company] is dedicated to protecting the safety and health of its employees. We have established a safety and health program to prevent injuries and illnesses due to hazards. Employee involvement at all levels of the company is critical for us to be successful in this effort. To accomplish this task, a joint worker/management safety committee has been established to bring workers and management together in a nonadversarial, cooperative effort to promote safety and health in the workplace. This safety committee will provide information and recommendations to management about occupational safety and health conditions and practices, and to provide a forum for information exchange."
"A safety committee is established as a management tool to recommend improvements to the workplace safety program and to identify corrective measures needed to eliminate or control recognized safety and health hazards."
Joined on 08-29-2006
Here is our mission statement to get ideas from...
The Safety Committee consists of management and employee representatives who have an interest in the general promotion of safety and health for (Company).
The commiuttee is accountable for recommending safety and health improvements in the workplace. They are charged with the responsibility of defining obstacles and creating solutions, identifying hazards and suggesting corrective actions, helping to identify employee safety training needs, and developing accident investigation procedures to improve safety and health for you, the employees of (Company).
Kind of wordy, but you may be able to get some ideas!

Jaipur juggernaut keeps rolling with 10-run win
Sohail Tanvir bowled a sensational final over to take Jaipur to victory.
Chennai: Sohail Tanvir bowled a sensational final over as Jaipur waved off a strong Chennai challenge to notch up a 10-run victory at the MA Chidambaram stadium here on Saturday.
The Pakistan fast bowler took two wickets including the dangerous Albie Morkel as Chennai were unable to pull off a victory in a game that never pronounced a favourite till the very end.
Morkel, the South African left-hander, threatened to take the game away with a blistering 71 from 40 balls that had six fours and four sixes, but Chennai fell apart with the early fall of captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni (12) and a bevy of wickets.
Chennai, who still need another victory to seal their spot in the semi-finals, suffered an early setback chasing 212 with the fall of Stephen Fleming, but recovered with a brilliant counterattacking partnership between Parthiv Patel and Suresh Raina, as Jaipur captain Shane Warne's ploy of opening with spinner Yusuf Pathan flopped.
Raina clobbered a majestic 24-ball 45 that dominated the second wicket stand of 70 before captain Shane Warne brought about the breakthrough in the ninth over. But Chennai recovered fast with Albie Morkel and Patel taking the attack to the Jaipur bowlers.
Patel brought up a fluent half-century but departed after adding four more runs, out stumped to Warne, but Morkel continued the charge until the introduction of Tanvir sparked a collapse.
Earlier, Graeme Smith, joint man of the match with Morkel, plundered 91 from just 51 balls and put on 127 for the opening partnership with Swapnil Asnodkar as Jaipur powered their way to 211-5.
Jaipur, who have already qualified for the semi-finals of the inaugural Indian Premier League, got off to a rollicking start after captain Shane Warne elected to bat in the day/night fixture.
Smith and Asnodkar (41) flayed the Chennai bowlers to all parts of the ground as the openers raced away to 50 inside five overs and brought up the century stand in 9.4 overs, before a run out ended the partnership.
Smith hit his fourth six of the match off Suresh Raina to get into the nineties but fell the next ball, becoming only the second batsman to get out in the nineties after Sourav Ganguly (94 vs Hyderabad).
Wicketkeeper-batsman Kamran Akmal took over the reins after a brief stutter in the proceedings, hammering an unbeaten 53 in just 28 deliveries.
Albie Morkel was the most successful of the Chennai bowlers, taking two wickets for 35 while Laxmipathy Balaji went for 45 runs in three overs being the most expensive of the lot.
Jaipur rested Siddarth Trivedi, Mahesh Rawat, Shane Watson and Ravindra Jadeja and brought in Taruwar Kohli, Dinesh Salunkhe, Kamran Akmal and Pankaj Singh in their place.
Chennai, who need one victory to make it to the semi-finals, made only one change from their last match squad with Abhinav Mukund replacing S Vidyut.
The teams:
Chennai: Mahendra Dhoni (capt), Stephen Fleming, Parthiv Patel, Suresh Raina, S. Badrinath, Albie Morkel, Abhinav Mukund, Manpreet Gony, Laxmipathy Balaji, Muttiah Muralitharan, Makhaya Ntini.
Jaipur: Shane Warne (capt), Graeme Smith, Swapnil Asnodkar, Kamran Akmal, Mohd. Kaif, Yusuf Pathan, Taruwar Kohli, Dinesh Salunkhe, Sohail Tanvir, Pankaj Singh, Munaf Patel.

I was given some crochet thread. I picked up some hooks today that are small enough for thread crochet and am ready to go! I managed one kinda pitiful snowflake. Some of the patterns I tried were hard!
Does anyone have patterns for easy but pretty snowflakes or even good , small starter type patterns for filet crochet? Eventually, I want to filet myself a last name wall hanging but I'm not ready for all that yet. Just sort of want to get my feet wet and decorate my upcoming tree with crocheted flakes while I'm waiting for my stocking knitting book to come in the mail. (hubby bought for me. Isn't he sweet? )
Thanks in advance~
Have you checked out Hass Design?http://www.hassdesign.com/Really nice tutorial information on filet. I had to learn about filet for my Masters Program through the guild and I used Hass Design and Jan Eaton's book on "The Encyclopedia of Crochet Techniques".Lots of filet patterns here but not all of the links are active:http://home.inreach.com/marthac/filet.htmlGood luck!
In all honesty, filet crochet is probably easier than snowflakes.
Filet is basically a grid of the same stitches over and over. You follow a chart, and it involves nothing but double crochet and chain stitches.
Snowflakes are usually crocheted in the round, and have more involved stitching.
Good luck!
I just found this link that you might be interested in:
It says the patterns are "beginner".

It is my solemn and firmly held belief that the Cristeros were an entirely unjustified group of egomaniacal sociopaths and that Mexico would be a far better place today had they simply purchased Xbox360 consoles and lived out their ridiculous fantasies via an imaginary fantasy gaming realm
Forget your lust for the rich man's gold/ All that you need, is in your soul/ And you can do this, oh baby, if you try/ All that I want for you my son/ Is to be satisfied
All that we are is a picture in a mirror, with fancy shoes to grace our feet. All that there is, is a slow road to freedom; Heaven above and the devil beneath. We're all in this thing together, walking a line between faith and fear, this life won't last forever - when you cry I taste the salt in your tears.
Actually, I heard there's nothing they can do for that. You may just have to wait until it heals.

Maybe you can score some morphine from the doc, but that is unlikely and chances are you wouldn't care for the side effects, so cowboy up, get a lounger and grab as many zzzzzs as you can.

Almost six months after Steve Ballmer announced he would be stepping down, Satya Nadella has been announced as the new Microsoft CEO.
Nadella, who currently holds the position of Microsoft's Head of Cloud and Enterprise and is tasked with running the company's computing platforms, joined the company back in 1992 after gaining a degrees in electronics, computer science and business administration.
Formerly the world's biggest company, Microsoft has seen its profitability slide in recent years although remains the world's leading software provider.
Nadella will become just the third Microsoft CEO following the company's birth in 1970. Previously co-founder Bill Gates led the company before passing over power to Steve Ballmer. As well as confirming Nadella as the new CEO, Microsoft has revealed that Gates will step down as chairman, instead taking a position as a technology adviser.
"During this time of transformation, there is no better person to lead Microsoft than Satya Nadella," Gates said in making the announcement.
"Satya is a proven leader with hard-core engineering skills, business vision and the ability to bring people together. His vision for how technology will be used and experienced around the world is exactly what Microsoft needs as the company enters its next chapter of expanded product innovation and growth."
On his new promotion, Nadella said: "Microsoft is one of those rare companies to have truly revolutionised the world through technology, and I couldn't be more honoured to have been chosen to lead the company.
"The opportunity ahead for Microsoft is vast, but to seize it, we must focus clearly, move faster and continue to transform. A big part of my job is to accelerate our ability to bring innovative products to our customers more quickly."

text: Hi. New here. 1999 Chevy CK 1500 "Z71" with LS Trim; three door extended cab; 4WD; Auto / Air, etc. Replacing the power steering pump. It does have EVO but does not have hydro boost. Only found one reman pump locally (Cardone) that has the EVO, and need to adjust the position of the solenoid electrical connector and the manifold where the high pressure hose connects. (My solenoid connector's on the bottom, the reman connector is on top. Also, the manifold where the high pressure outlet hose to the steering gear is also positioned directly below the original pump, and the reman is a little higher. Might work, but want it right.) QUESTION: HOW DO I REMOVE / INSTALL THE EVO ASSEMBLY FROM / TO THE BACK OF THE POWER STEERING PUMP RESERVOIR? Do I have to remove the clip and go inside the valve to do anything; or do I just put an adjustable crescent on that big hex part of the EVO and push righty-tighty, lefty loosey? Any hidden pitfalls here? I'm not sure what to wrench on, and I don't want to break the EVO assembly. If there's already a thread here about this, please let me know. Thanks! Pat

Improving Schools by Expanding Options for Parents
The No Child Left Behind Act increases the educational options available to students and parents, particularly for students who need the most help, such as those attending schools that are identified for improvement under the new law.
Thanks to President Bush's leadership and the bipartisan support of Members of Congress, children in schools identified by their State as in need of improvement may transfer to a better-performing public school, including a public charter school, and low-income children attending such schools may obtain tutoring and other extra academic assistance from the provider of their choice. NCLB also gives students in persistently dangerous schools the right to transfer to a safe school within the district.
In addition, No Child Left Behind promotes greater educational options for parents by funding the expansion of charter schools, encouraging States and districts to create school choice programs, and providing information to parents to help them take advantage of choice options.
Real Choice for All Parents
The President's education budgets have provided the following:
More than $77 million for Voluntary Public School Choice grants to expand State and local public school choice programs. If the Administration's 2005 budget is enacted, the investment will exceed $104 million. These grants finance planning, transportation, tuition transfer payments, and other efforts to increase the capacity of schools to accept students exercising a choice option.
More than $617 million for Charter School Grants to support new and existing charter schools. If the Administration's 2005 budget is enacted, the investment will exceed $836 million. The Department of Education has supported funding for the planning, development, and implementation of charter schools, and for dissemination activities at schools with a demonstrated history of success. The grants also support research focused on charter schools' impact on student achievement and maintain the website, http://www.uscharterschools.org.
Approximately $62 million for Credit Enhancement for Charter School Facilities to assist charter schools in acquiring, leasing, and renovating school facilities. If the Administration's 2005 budget is enacted, the investment will total $162 million. The Department of Education has supported these competitive grants to public and nonprofit entities to provide loan guarantees, insure debt, and promote other actions to encourage private lending and bonding for additional charter facilities.
Approximately $7.5 million to provide resources to parents about NCLB, including information about how to transfer their child to another public school or enroll their child in supplemental services. The Department is supporting a variety of discretionary grants to inform parents about the public school choice and supplemental services provisions, including a grant to create and maintain a comprehensive website on supplemental services: http://www.tutorsforkids.org.
In addition to funding under NCLB, $40 million to provide greater choices for DC families and improve education in the District. In 2004, this includes funding to improve D.C.'s public school system, expand charter schools in the district, and provide scholarships for low-income students to attend a private school of their choice.

After this, NFL training camp is going to be a piece of cake.
Wes Welker prepared for Denver Broncos' camp by going up into the wild, blue yonder on an F-16 jet with the Air Force Thunderbirds.
"It was a great experience," Welker said (via the Denver Post). "I don't know if I'd necessarily need to do it again. I took a selfie that actually came out pretty well. And I kept my lunch down. It wasn't easy. Near the end, we were flying by the strip, and I was like, 'Okay, land already. I am good.' "
The video is pretty spectacular, too, in a "vomit comet" kind of way.
And, yes, the man whose I.D. tag calls him "Thunderbird Celebrity" took a selfie and tweeted about his experience.

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! Contact us, or contact another local humane society, animal shelter or SPCA.
HCHS was founded in 1979 and functioned as a foster home based rescue group until 2005. In 2005 Henry County Splost Funds were used to build a new animal control shelter and Henry County's Board of Commissioners granted HCHS use of the former animal control building. After a complete renovation, the Henry County Humane Society shelter opened as a happy safe haven for Henry County's homeless pets.
HCHS depends entirely on private donations, fundraisers and adoption fees to carry out its mission. HCHS is a private organization, not a county agency, and receives no government funding nor any funding from national humane organizations. Donations can be made via PayPal from a link on our homepage at www.henryhumane.com or mailed to HCHS, PO Box 941, McDonough, GA 30253. Donations are much appreciated!
HCHS is a non-profit organization and licensed by the Georgia State Department of Agriculture.
HCHS rescues animals facing euthansia from the county run Animal Control shelter. Animals in our care are given age appropriate vaccinations, spayed/neutered, dewormed and treated with capstar and/or frontline.
Dogs are also heartworm negative (treated for heartworms if tested positive) and are microchipped.
Cats are also feline leukemia (Felv) and feline AIDS (FIV) negative.
Pediatric spaying and neutering is performed on puppies and kittens as young as 8 weeks old.
Shelter Hours:
Saturday's - 12:00 am - 4:00 pm
Sunday - Friday - by appointment (with pre-approved application)
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder? When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.

While cyber attacks on the internet involving malware, hacking and distributed denial of service are featured in the headlines most often, researchers in Switzerland suggest that physical attack on internet backbones, servers and internet data hubs could be just as important a problem in sustaining network functions.
Writing in the December issue of the International Journal of Critical Infrastructures, the team suggests that physical damage to critical communication networks can lead to a cascade of failures and major disruption to functions due to the interdependency of different critical infrastructures. In 2003, university student Sean Gorman famously mapped the paths of fibre-optic cables across the USA for his PhD dissertation at George Mason University and showed just how easy it would be to locate critical choke points from public records and data. It would not be difficult to block those choke points. Moreover, carriers under increasing economic pressure are not investing in redundant fibre-optic cables and are also simply using road and rail conduits to cut costs and avoid construction works across cities.
"All this brings critical communication backbones into a potentially unsafe condition," says Ling Zhou of the Laboratory for Safety Analysis, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich (ETH). She points out that fibre optic cables are not the only vulnerable components of the internet. Other physical components of the internet, like servers, bridges and hubs, routers, personal computers, can also be vulnerable parts.
"Effective functioning of today's societies is based on critical infrastructures, i.e., large scale infrastructures whose degradation, disruption or destruction would have a serious impact on health, safety, security or well-being of citizens or the effective functioning of governments and/or economy," However, most critical infrastructures are privately owned. The owners and operators focus on their own infrastructure and business framework and have only limited interest in the consequences of failed components beyond their domain.
The coincidence of two accidental physical problems in January 2006, knocked out internet access across the western USA. Internet traffic had been rerouted via Arizona after flood damage to equipment in California but construction workers accidentally cut through a fibre optic cable there knocking out Sprint's Western US network for three and a half hours on the afternoon of the 9th. Other similar incidents occur unpredictably, usually when two or more physical faults occur at the same time or coincide with virtual issues such as the spread of malicious software or traffic overflow. This one incident simply highlights just how vulnerable the networks could be to deliberate physical attacks at two or more places.
Zhou has used SWITCH, the Swiss national network for research and education, as the focus of a case study and simulation of how such physical damage might impact on networks and the internet as a whole in the future.
Her results offer three main recommendations for protecting critical network infrastructure that should be considered at the national level:

ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Now that his vision has cleared, Juan Rivera should be seeing the ball better, hitting it farther and having the kind of late-season surge he and the Los Angeles Angels are accustomed to.
Rivera hit a tiebreaking homer in the seventh inning, Mike Napoli also went deep and the Angels beat the Seattle Mariners 7-6 on Saturday night after blowing a five-run lead against the AL's lowest-scoring team.
Rivera has 11 hits in 31 at-bats over a nine-game span after sitting out the previous six because of blurred vision, which doctors said was stress-related. The home run marked his first RBI since his return to the lineup.
"He's definitely swinging better," manager Mike Scioscia said. "The vision problem was diagnosed quickly and acted on quickly. So I don't think it was a huge issue. He's fine now and he's seeing the ball well. Juan's very important to us. So hopefully, he's going to stay on this course. He usually picks it up in the second half, and he's off to a good start right now."
Brian Sweeney (1-1), working his second inning of relief, retired his first two batters in the seventh before Rivera drove a 1-0 pitch to left-center for his 11th home run and 35th RBI.
Angels left-hander Joe Saunders allowed five runs -- four earned -- and 10 hits over six innings and left with a 6-5 lead before Kevin Jepsen gave up a tying homer to Josh Bard leading off the seventh.
Jepsen (2-1) pitched one inning for the win, and Brian Fuentes followed Fernando Rodney out of the bullpen with a hitless ninth for his 18th save in 22 attempts.
Torii Hunter was 0 for 4 as the Angels' designated hitter. Reggie Willits started in center field in place of the nine-time Gold Glove winner and hit a two-run single with the bases loaded during a four-run second inning. He also threw out Jack Wilson trying to advance from first to third on Ichiro Suzuki's single with none out in the top of the inning.
"He was being real aggressive, which is something we do a lot," Willits said. "When I saw him coming into second, he was kind of holding up a little bit, so I was thinking that even if he did keep going, I was in a position where I could still get him. I've got a huge hole to fill when Torii's not in center field, so I just try to focus on my defensive game as much as possible."
Ryan Rowland-Smith, who has a 1-9 record, was charged with six runs -- five earned -- and eight hits over 3 1/3 innings, raising his ERA to 6.18.
In 17 starts this season, Rowland-Smith has left a game leading only three times -- and just once since April 17. But this time, his teammates got him off the hook after he departed with a 6-4 deficit.
The Mariners got three in the fourth on an RBI double by Jose Lopez and run-scoring singles by Justin Smoak and Josh Bard. Smoak, who came to the Mariners in a multiplayer trade that sent 2008 AL Cy Young Award winner Cliff Lee to Texas on July 9, homered in the seventh off Saunders for his third hit, cutting the Angels' lead to 6-5.
On Friday night, Smoak broke up Jered Weaver's shutout bid with a two-run homer in Seattle's 3-2 loss.
"It was just a terrible pitch," Saunders said. "I had him 2-2 and tried to throw one down in the strike zone, but I threw one right down the middle to him and he hurt me. I still came out of the game with the lead, and I'm happy we won the game. That's all I care about."
After falling behind 1-0 on an unearned run in the second inning, the Angels came back with four runs in the bottom half -- two of which also were unearned due to throwing errors by Rowland-Smith and shortstop Jack Wilson.
"It was huge to get some early runs up there and give me a cushion, but I'm mad at myself for giving some of it up," said Saunders, who came in 8-1 with a 2.93 ERA against the Mariners and had won his previous seven decisions against them. "I made some bad pitches. The ball was up a little bit and that's when they hurt me."
Kevin Frandsen tied it with an RBI single, and Willits added a two-run single with the bases loaded after Rowland-Smith fielded Brandon Wood's sacrifice bunt and pulled first baseman Smoak off the bag with his high throw. Wood scored the fourth run when Wilson threw wildly to first, trying to complete an inning-ending double play on Howie Kendrick's grounder to second.
"The four runs in the second inning and the two runs in the third just put us behind too much. But we did a nice job of battling back and we had a chance to win it," manager Don Wakamatsu said. The Angels increased the margin to 6-1 in the third when Napoli hit his 15th homer, and Frandsen followed Rivera's double with one of his own.
The Angels (50-44) have reached the 50-win mark with less than 50 losses in each of Scioscia's 10 seasons as manager. The last time they failed to do that was 1999 under Terry Collins, when they needed 121 games to get their 50th victory. ... Suzuki's third-inning single was his 2,150th hit in the major leagues, tying Yogi Berra for 190th place. Only four players have had more career hits against the Angels than Suzuki's total of 239 - Hall of Famers George Brett, Carl Yastrzemski, Cal Ripken Jr. and Paul Molitor.

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
As Mother Jones revealed last week, Groundswell, the hush-hush right-wing strategy group partly led by Ginni Thomas, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, wanted to hype the Benghazi tragedy into a full-fledged scandal for the Obama administration, as part of its "30 front war" on the president and progressives. A secret audio tape of one of Groundswell's weekly meetings shows that prominent members of the group pressed House Speaker John Boehner and Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), the chair of the House oversight committee, to expand the Benghazi investigation and make this supposed scandal a top-priority for congressional Republicans. This recording indicates Groundswell's mission extends beyond message coordination to scandal-stoking.
The tape has been posted at Crooks and Liars, a progressive web site, and it captured the first 20 minutes of Groundswell's May 8 meeting. (The site does not say how the recording was obtained.) The meeting opened with a prayer ("Father, we thank you for the opportunity to gather here as free Americans"), and a roll call was taken. Among those present were former GOP Rep. Allen West, Frank Gaffney of the Center for Security Policy, Jerry Boykin of the Family Research Council, Tom Fitton of Judicial Watch, Stephen Bannon of Breitbart News, and Ginni Thomas. Catherine Engelbrecht, a founder of True the Vote, led the meeting, and the first order of business was a report on the Benghazi controversy from Boykin and Gaffney.
The pair reported on meetings they had held the previous night with Boehner and Issa. The two Groundswellers had encouraged the lawmakers to set up a special committee to investigate the attacks on the US facilities in Benghazi. Boykin, according to the recording, noted that Boehner had said he wanted the process "to play out" first, apparently meaning that he wasn't yet ready to step up the GOP Benghazi campaign. Boehner, Boykin recounted, had expressed the concern that were he to create such a committee, the media would cover it as a political stunt designed to bring down Obama.
Boykin, a retired general and Christian fundamentalist who caused a dust-up in 2003 when he gave a speech (while still on active duty) saying that his god was "a real god" and Allah was an "idol," told the Groundswellers that he expected the Benghazi matter to blossom into a full-blown scandal: "We've got an ugly baby here and it's going to get uglier." He maintained that "we're going to find...a huge deception."
Gaffney, a birther who has been booted out of several conservative outfits for his fiercely anti-Islam views and who has accused Obama of "submission to Islam," added, "I'm somewhat encouraged that they're taking this thing very much to heart and we really impressed upon [Boehner] that there's a lot of restiveness on the part of folks like us, and some of their donors as a matter of fact, about what's happening here." In other words, Boykin and Gaffney were issuing something of a warning to Boehner and Issa: Go hard on Benghazi or risk losing financial and grassroots support.
After the two were done, Bannon, the executive chairman of Breitbart News, counseled fellow Groundswellers on how they should handle the Benghazi controversy. Don't mention impeachment of Hillary Clinton, he cautioned, for that would only politicize the issue and "hurt the goal" of establishing a special congressional committee. Then Engelbrecht added, "I think they have all the notes on Benghazi. Let's move ahead."
As of yet, Boykin, Gaffney, and the other Groundswellers have not gotten the special Benghazi committee they wanted. But the recording shows that Groundswell has access to the top leaders of the GOP, and its reps are not reluctant to pressure those pols.

Mediacom 6 months of internet disconnects Excelsior Springs Missouri
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I moved to Marceline in February of 2013. I contacted the local cable company Mediacom for service. I ordered cable and internet services through them. I went through many cable boxes and many tech visits. Each time they would bring me a new box. I would estimate that it took approx. 3 months to get working cable tv service. At which point I was never credited for the time I did not have service.
Starting the 3rd month when my tv service started working, my internet service stopped working. I have put in an estimated 7-8 tech calls regarding extrememly frequent internet disconnections. The service disconnects as frequent as 2-5 minutes apart and 30-50 times a day. The service is unusable. Several techs have been out and they have escalated the issue. My last tech was out last week and he told me that if the service was not working my last Thursday I should call them back. I did call them as I was still having disconnects. While I was on the phone with the tech support my internet monitor logged over 10 disconnects. They scheduled an appointment for today. At all the previous visits my wife had dealed with the techs. Today I took off early from work so that I would be able to talk to the tech directly. The tech never showed up. My appointment was scheduled from between 1-5pm today.
At 4:30pm I received an email stating that my appointment was cancelled. I called the customer service line to inquire as to why. The rep told me that the tech stated he had tried to call me and I did not answer several calls and that no one was home. I told the rep that I've been home and I have not missed any calls. I have been home for several hours. And to top it off, there are several people here with me and no one ever seen a tech show up. This was definetly the icing on the cake. I'm finished with Mediacom. 6 months later and I still don't have the service I paid for 6 months ago.

dishonest lawyers service. Lies!
Be careful if you deal with Philip X Tirone - this person seems to be a fraud!
He contacted me and offered me low interest rates in my business. I tried to work with this person because I was interested in his offers but I just found that all of them were lies. This person is kind of a lawyer and offers many services such as 7 Steps to a 720 Credit Score, The 14-Day Credit Challenge etc. Actually how it happens in real life - he makes a good presentation, signs a contract with you and then disappear without providing services you've paid for. Good knowledge of law allows this person to make a contract with hidden rocks which is helpless when you are trying to get your money back.
You'd better stay away from this person and keep your money safe!
|Jul 5, 2013
No refund was issued so far
I became a victim of Philip X Tirone scam. They promised to lower my credit payments during three months and they did nothing except taking my money. After three months I understood that they will never do anything for me and asked for a refund that was mentioned in the agreement. However, this company refused to give my money back.
My credit card company said they would initiate a dispute of this charge on my behalf and that I could call the company back to inquire about WHEN my credit would be issued. I've been told twice now by a manager that a credit would be issued within 24-72 hours and it still has not been done as of today. They told that the charge will show up on my credit card statement as "7StepsTo720.com" or "Philip X Tirone".
Once you speak with them, they automatically charge any card that has the credit availability of their fee and you will play heck to get it back. The only way I've found is to dispute it with your credit card company. However, this takes time and while you have this $1499 charge on your account, it ties up your credit limit. Beware of Philip X Tirone!!!

Be aware
Philip X Tirone called my cell phone numerous times with a promise to lower the interest rates on all my credit cards to an average of 3%-6%. I spoke with them about their program and they faxed me over the paperwork to review and discuss. Even though I have never signed their paperwork and spoke with my wife immediately after speaking with them, they went ahead and charged my VISA $1499.00 while we were on the phone. Apparently this is what they are doing while they say they're going to put you on a brief hold to see if you qualify for their program. I spoke with them again within 15 minutes of our initial conversation, told them I had discussed with my wife and we don't want to pay $1499 for their interest lowering program and don't wish to participate and most importantly, would not be returning any signed paperwork. They promised to issue a full refund to the card and then put their fee. I then called my credit card company to get some advice and cancel the charge made by Philip X Tirone as I was promised a full refund within 24-72 hours. Isn't it amazing that they were able to charge my card within seconds but it takes that long to issue a refund. Be aware of Philip X Tirone.

|st: RE: residuals for GEE
|Thu, 15 Dec 2005 17:17:58 -0000
It seems that the general comments on -predict- after -xtgee- are an exaggeration in this case, as no specific option is available that produces any flavour of residuals. No matter, you can still use -predict- to generate predictions and (e.g.) plot those against observed. Use the GIC: the graphical investigation criterion. Or calculate your own residuals from observed and predicted. That might tell you more than any other ?IC purporting to encapsulate all information on badness of fit in a portmanteau statistic. This is all supposing that there isn't some well-known argument showing that with -xtgee- residuals are a snare, a delusion and generally poor citizens. Also, I don't know how much juice there can be in panels 3 time units long.

Coach Steve Hansen admits he is keeping one eye on the future in bringing Chiefs hooker Hika Elliot into the All Blacks wider training group.
The 35-strong squad arrived in Wellington on Sunday for a second training camp ahead of the three-Test series against Ireland beginning in Auckland on June 9.
Elliot and wing Hosea Gear are two new names in the line-up, brought in as cover for the injured Keven Mealamu and Cory Jane.
Hansen says Mealamu's on-going calf problems leave some doubt around whether he'll be fit for the first Test.
"Kevvie's progressing, and we're confident that at some point we'll see him in the Irish series playing a Test match. We're just not that confident it's going to be the first one."
Hansen says the All Blacks are well-served with three very good hookers in Andrew Hore, Mealamu and Corey Flynn.
"But all of them are over 30. Corey's got a history of injuries, Kevvie's having his injuries at the moment and Andrew Hore's fit," he said.
"It's a big risk - if you look to the end of the year, we may not have any one of those hookers available because of injuries. Then we'd be starting off with two brand new ones and we don't want to do that."
There was good news for Hansen with confirmation from in-form No.8 Kieran Read that he will be lining up for the Crusaders in Friday's upcoming Super Rugby match against the Highlanders.
Read injured his pelvis after falling heavily in the Crusaders' shock 28-19 loss to the Melbourne Rebels two weeks ago.
Hansen also said Blues halfback Piri Weepu is making good progress as he looks to meet training targets by Tuesday if he is to be considered for the Irish series.
"At this stage he's on track, and we'll see on Tuesday whether he's made it or not."
The 30-man All Blacks squad for the Irish series will be named on June 3.

text: Shoppers were taking part in a different kind of Black Friday in Brewer. They sought out Maine-made presents at the United Maine Craftsmen Arts and Crafts show."It's a fabulous, fabulous way to find your Christmas gifts and support Maine's economy," said Aletha Boyle, show director and president of the organization's board of directors.From jewelry to photography to pottery, shoppers found unique presents to put under the tree. Presents folks shopping elsewhere on Black Friday might not be able to find."It's definitely something that you're not going to pick up at Walmart or other box stores," said Mary Jones of Perry.That's because most of what's on sale is hand made."I hand paint ornaments myself, each one is completely different and it's from Maine and it's made by a person who has developed their skills here in Maine," said Boyle.Shoppers get to take away the product of those skills. All while spreading some holiday cheer to a local business."With the economy the way it is, we like to spend money locally as much as we can," said Jones.The United Maine Craftsmen show continues on Saturday from 9-5 and Sunday from 10-4. It costs $1.50 to get in.

Jon Favreau is one of Hollywood's most well-liked big-budget director-producers. Having the "Iron Man" films on the résumé will certainly do that. Even an expensive misstep like Cowboys & Aliens doesn't seem to have held him back.
Yet Favreau's roots aren't in the multiplex. He first came to the world's attention by penning and starring in the finger-snapping 1996 indie comedy Swingers, a movie that cost just $200,000, a sum that probably wouldn't cover Iron Man's catering costs.
Favreau returns to those early days in Chef, a sweetly satisfying, character-driven comedy about the world of food with only one special effect: anyone seeing this film on an empty stomach will be ravenous by the time it's over. That it also happens to have a kitchen full of Favreau's famous friends — Robert Downey Jr., Sofia Vergara, Dustin Hoffman, Scarlett Johansson — doesn't make it feel any less of a departure from the director's recent work.
Favreau stars as Carl Casper, a once renowned Los Angeles chef who has fallen into a midlife rut. He's divorced from his wife (Vergara), doesn't see enough of his son (Emjay Anthony), and is bored with his work. His staff — including the other cooks (John Leguizamo, Bobby Cannavale) and hostess (Johansson) — also feel his frustration. But the restaurant's owner (Hoffman) doesn't want to rock the culinary boat. Why mess with success?
In walks leading restaurant critic Ramsey Michel (Oliver Platt), whose views on Casper's cooking spark a Twitter war between the two. Ultimately, Casper finds himself out on the street, and what's a chef with time on his hands to do? Get a food truck, of course.
Sure, Chef doesn't go to any unexpected emotional places. Predictably, the truck helps Casper get his mojo back as a chef and a dad. It's the journey that's important here and that becomes literal when Casper, his son, and cooks take the truck on the road from Miami to New Orleans, Austin (where barbecue king Aaron Franklin and singer-guitarist Gary Clark Jr. make appearances), and Los Angeles. While the movie takes too long to get to this point, it's here where all the ingredients come together.
Adding spice to it all is a stellar soundtrack that pops with vintage R&B, reggae and Caribbean grooves. The music is almost as delicious as the meals.
Chef is lightweight, and could be seen as just a blatant attempt to cash in on the whole food-truck phenomenon, but it's so engaging that it really doesn't matter. Favreau — who brought on food-truck pioneer Roy Choi as a technical adviser to make sure he got things right — really just seems interested in telling a simple, amusing story about real-world people again.
Welcome back, Jon.

All my interior lights went out while programming keyless entry.
Re: interior lights
I am sorry to hear that all of your interior lights went out when you were attempting to program your keyless entry on your Cadillac vehicle. Could you private message me your VIN so I can do some additional research into this concern? If you are unable to private message me, you can also reach out to me at email@example.com. Please be sure to include "ATTN GREG" so it gets delivered straight to me. Have you brought this concern up to your dealership as of yet? Thank you very much for your time. I look forward to hearing from you.

HC to hear Chautala's bail plea in teachers' job scam
Om Prakash Chautala, who was sent to Tihar Jail after his conviction, has sought interim bail on the ground that "he is unwell and suffering from various ailments".
New Delhi: The Delhi High Court will hear on Friday former Haryana Chief Minister Om Prakash Chautala's appeal against his conviction and 10 years sentence for illegally recruiting 3,206 junior teachers 12 years ago. The 78-year-old chief of Indian National Lok Dal (INLD), who was sent to Tihar Jail after his conviction, has also sought interim bail on the ground that "he is unwell and suffering from various ailments".
Justice Mukta Gupta will hear his appeal as well as the bail application. Chautala, his MLA son Ajay Chautala and 53 others, including two IAS officers, were convicted on January 16 by the trial court for illegally recruiting 3,206 junior basic trained (JBT) teachers in Haryana in 2000. The senior Chautala, who was held as the "main conspirator" in the scam by the court, was found guilty of cheating, forgery, using fake documents as genuine and conspiracy under the IPC and for abusing his official position under the Prevention of Corruption Act.
In his plea, Chautala has sought suspension of sentence on health grounds that he is 70 per cent disabled and requires constant supervision. "The applicant had to be hospitalised (after verdict on conviction on January 16) for chest pain, difficulty in breathing, fluctuations in blood pressure and coronary heart disease and till recently was in GB Pant Hospital," the plea
While seeking urgent hearing of his appeal, Chautala contended that the order of the trial court was liable to be set aside as it was against the tenets of law as well as contrary to the evidence. "The trial court has failed to appreciate that in a democratic set up and under the principles of collective responsibility, it is the entire Council of Ministers which is responsible for a Cabinet decision and not any one minister. In such a scenario, only singling out the appellant (Chautala) merely because he is the Chief Minister is unwarranted and erroneous. Further, it a settled principle that in a Cabinet, the Chief Minister is only first among equals," the petition filed by advocate Siddharth Aggarwal
Apart from the Chautalas (father and son), the then Director of Primary Education Sanjiv Kumar, Chautala's former Officer on Special Duty Vidya Dhar, both IAS officers, political advisor to the then Haryana CM Sher Singh Badshami were given 10 years jail terms. The remaining five, including a woman, who have been awarded 10 years jail term, were Madan Lal Kalra, Durga Dutt Pradhan, Bani Singh, Ram Singh and Daya Saini. Apart from them, one convict has been handed five years and the rest 44 were given four years imprisonment. Among the 55 convicts, 16 were women officials.

Would you please identify those unusually large, waxy berries that appeared on the cover of the Dec. 29 magazine? Most of the fall berries are rather shriveled and weatherworn by the time snow falls. Could it be that some playful New Hampshire elf climbed down from the birch tree, poked a branch in the ground and tied maraschino cherries on it just to fool us?

Murphy ready for NCAA field
She just made it.
Only 24 women make the NCAA championship field in the heptathlon, which gets started Thursday in Des Moines, Iowa.
Kansas State's Mairead Murphy qualified at No. 24 — keeping her NCAA hopes alive after a near four-year break from the event.
Murphy — from Hillview, Ireland — received her bachelor's degree in kinesiology from the University of Dublin and after hearing about and meeting K-State track and field coach Cliff Rovelto, she decided to spend her last year of eligibility competing with the Wildcats.
And though Murphy competes in the heptathlon, she is especially strong in the 100-meter hurdles.
Murphy stayed in Manhattan for winter break last year and had the opportunity to spend time training with Rovelto.
It was during the break that Rovelto suggested Murphy tackle the heptathlon .
"I suppose I have a lot to gain from it," Murphy said. "I did heps a lot when I was younger, but here I had a lot to gain from it," she said during an interview with The Mercury last week. "I hadn't done it in four or five years and I had seen the successes Coach Rovelto had, so it was something that I had nothing to lose with.
"It kind of took the pressure off."
Murphy said competing under pressure has always been a struggle in the past, but going into the NCAAs as No. 24, Murphy has nothing to loose.
"I'm lucky because I'm ranked number 24 and have absolutely no pressure on me," she said, "which is completely different than any other heps I've done.
"I'm just super excited to just go to the events, and if I can move up the rankings a little bit and improve that's just great and if I can get a few PRs I'd be really happy."
In January, when she took on the challenge of getting back into competing the grueling seven-event heptathlon, Murphy said she didn't see herself making it to the outdoor championships this spring.
Rovelto, however, had mentioned it as a possibility and saw her potential from the start.
"If she were to just go and have a personal best, end up among the top 16 and be an All-American, I think that would be a great meet for her," Rovelto said. "She didn't do one thing in specific for the combined events until December of this year and it had been almost three years before that and she had done nothing. So, the amount of progress that she's made in that amount of time, is remarkable."
Murphy currently holds a 5,399-point personal record, which is the fifth-best record in school history, and is competing in the heptathlon along with teammate and returning national champion, Ryann Krais.
Krais said having someone in the same event as her at the NCAAs will help her stay in the right mindset. She, too, is impressed with the progress Murphy's made this season.
"Coming in as a 100 hurdler and coming out as a NCAA caliber heptathlete, that's a pretty impressive task there," Kraiss said. "It'll be fun having somebody at NCAAs to do the heptathlon with because it is such a long event.
"I like Mairead a lot because we're very similar in our focus. It will be nice to have that companion at the meet."
While Murphy may have grinned and said it was Rovelto who talked her into competing in the heptathlon, there is no doubt that Murphy's hard work and training has given her the opportunity to compete on the national stage.
As for her time at K-State, Murphy said she enjoys life in Kansas, competing in the Big 12 and the support she gained from the track and field program.
"I find Kansas so similar to Ireland," Murphy said. "I find people are really similar and people are down to earth, and it's really homey because it's such a small community."
After she finishes this season with K-State, Murphy said she isn't sure on what she plans on doing now that school is done.
Murphy is a physiotherapist, which she said is basically a physical therapist, and would like to return to Manhattan and work as a track and field manager or head to New Zealand to find a job there in her field.
"I was the exact same this time last year when I was finishing up my undergrad," Murphy said. "When someone asked me what I was doing next year, I was like, 'I have no idea.'
"But this is definitely where I'm supposed to be and hopefully that'll be the same next year."
Murphy's first event — the 100-meter hurdles — begins Thursday afternoon. After completing four events Thursday, the heptathlon will continue Friday beginning with the long jump at 3 p.m.

United Nations Report Confirms the Use of Chemical Weapons in Syria
The United Nations' long-awaited report on the use of chemical weapons in Syria came out on Monday—it confirmed the use of chemical weapons in the nation, which the United States says killed as many as 1,400 people.
"This is a war crime, and grave violation of the 1925 protocol and other rules of international law," U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon told reporters on Monday.
Although the report does not blame either side, it is the first official confirmation by scientific experts that chemical weapons have been used.
In the mean time, negotiations around international action in Syria have kicked into high gear. Some countries, like the U.S. and other Western powers, want a binding resolution with the threat of military action should Syria fail to comply in the destruction of these weapons.
"If Assad fails to comply with the terms of this framework, make no mistake, we are all agreed—and that includes Russia—there will be consequences," Secretary of State John Kerry said during a diplomatic meeting with his British and French counterparts in Paris yesterday.
Other countries, especially Russia, aren't so keen to include the possibility of force. Others still, including Turkey and Saudi Arabia, want to go much further than getting rid of the chemical weapons stockpiles.
With all of the competing interests in the Syrian conflict, how will the international community come to an agreement?
