A petition coming out against a proposal to build a senior center at Ward Park had garnered a few hundred signatures by late afternoon last Wednesday.
A petition coming out against a proposal to build a senior center at Ward Park had garnered a few hundred signatures by late afternoon last Wednesday.
The petition, hosted at Change.org, is addressed to Mayor Arthur Vigeant, the City Council and Ward 3 Councilor Matt Elder, whose ward includes the park. By 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, 310 people had signed the petition electronically.
The letter attached to the petition, at nearly 1,500 words, opposes building a senior center at Ward Park and takes issue with the process through which the site was chosen. According to the website, the petition was started by the Ward Park Neighborhood Association, but it was unclear who specifically posted the document.
Vigeant in the fall proposed building an approximately 13,000-square-foot senior center in Ward Park on a spot near the parking lot where a temporary ice-skating rink is now set up. The project, if it goes through, is expected to cost around $7 million. The City Council has already approved spending $500,000 for designs.
Vigeant's proposal came after a study of a handful of spots last year, including the Old West Meeting House on Pleasant Street, a spot Vigeant had previously pushed for.
The petition argues that the city has drifted from a 2002 feasibility study that examined a number of parcels in the city as well as the request for proposals the city put out last year.
"This professionally produced study concluded that the minimum acreage required for a Senior Center was 2.25 acres," reads the petition. "The present Ward Park site, at approximately 1.5 acres, wasn't even on the radar."
The petition also argues that Ward Park hasn't been properly vetted.
"There is no documented proof that the Ward Park site had any kind of rigorous evaluation as the other sites mentioned in either the 2002 Feasibility Study or the RFP process," the petition reads. "Where is the study that proves that Ward Park is the best choice?"
The petition also cites parking, loss of public park space and incompatibility of Ward Park facilities with a senior center among the reasons why it is not a good fit.
Michael Berry, Vigeant's executive aide, said in an email that the project is still in a conceptual stage and said city officials are working on a plan that will enhance the area as a whole.
"We value the input of the Ward Park neighborhood and that of the greater senior community. However, at this time, it is difficult to respond to criticism of a concept," Berry wrote. "As part of the city's assessment process, we will follow all applicable state procurement and public construction laws to develop a detailed plan of a new senior center that will include several needed enhancements to the Ward Park area."
Berry also for residents to keep an open mind until the city can present a concrete plan.
"As it stands right now, all the city is looking to do is use less than 3 percent of the Ward Park property to better meet the needs of our seniors and provide them a Senior Center the entire community will be proud of," he wrote.
Ward Councilor Elder, reached by phone yesterday, said he had seen the petition, but said he felt a lot of the concerns detailed in it were based on misinformation.
"I think a lot of these people don't quite realize where we are looking to put it, the long term plan for the park," he said. We are still before step one…If this is approved, we will work with the abutters."
Elder said many of the concerns will likely have been addressed by the time a design comes out.
"A lot of these people's concerns are what basic site design will address," he said. "There are still a lot of steps to take."

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
It's my understanding that other states set contingent-fee schedules commonly limiting the contingent fee to a certain amount. I was wondering if Texas had such laws or regulations regarding contingency fees, as well.
The rules of the State Bar of Texas set out standards by which all fees, not just contingent fees are judges. These are enforced by the courts and the State Bar's grievance process. No set amount or schedule is used. In certain cases there are limits on the percent, but in most cases it is based on the State Bar rules.
This is not legal advice. You should always discuss the specifics of your issue in person with an attorney. Be aware that there are time limits on all claims that depend on the kind of claim, so do not delay in seeking an attorney.Ask a similar question
Texas does not have any such schedule. Contingent fees, with the exception of those charged in certain special kinds of cases, such as workers' compensation cases, are not capped in Texas. Texas Disciplinary Rule of Professional Conduct 1.04 prohibits fees that are either illegal or unconscionable. Paragraph (b) of the rule sets forth the criteria by which the size of a fee is to be judged under the rule. Rule 1.04(d) deals with contingent fees specifically, but it does not specify any maximum percentage that lawyer may charge.Ask a similar question

When Alan Butcher was appointed coach of Zimbabwe in February his task appeared a thankless one. Four months on and he seems to be doing something right after his charges returned a second successive one-day international win over India. His brief is to prepare the country for a return to Test cricket – provisionally scheduled for later this year – and while one-day games can swing in a moment, the convincing manner of both Zimbabwe's wins can only raise hopes.
Having chased down a target of 286 on Friday, yesterday they produced a convincing win by six wickets and with all of 11 overs and four balls to spare. Having restricted India to 194 for 9 at the Harare Sports Club, Zimbabwe earned victory on the back of another fine opening partnership between Hamilton Masakadza and Brendan Taylor. The pair put on 88 on Friday and yesterday bettered that with 128 in good time before Taylor, playing in his 100th ODI at the age of 24, fell for 74. Masakadza made 66.
India's innings was painfully slow going – they managed only 44 runs from the final 10 overs. Following their poor showing in the World Twenty20, it is another embarrassing setback for Indian cricket – albeit for an experimental squad – amid growing concern over the state of the much-vaunted IPL.

It costs only 7 pesos per ride and takes maybe 5 minutes to get to a mall in each direction, my personal favorite is the Robinsons Mall which is very close by, its big and modern with lots of eating choices, many cinemas with recent movies in English.

A Quick & Easy
Link Shortener
You probably heard of bit.ly as one of the most popular URL shorteners and you've probably used it some. But wouldn't it be cool if you had your own custom URL shortener?
Something like http://askkim.net/jak-blog
There are two ways to accomplish this:
One is with a self hosted plugin for your WordPress.org based blog called Pretty Link (and Pretty Link Pro). This lets you make short links right on your primary website URL.
The other is accessible and free even if you don't have WordPress and uses Bit.ly to power it. This uses a URL you have purchased that you aren't using for other projects.
We've talked about Pretty Link rather extensively before so today we're going to quickly and easily set up a Bit.ly hosted URL shortner.
It's easy to set up and I will show you how to do it in just a couple minutes!
Setting Up Bit.ly With A Custom Domain URL
First, you will need a domain name you will use as a shortener. This must be a domain name that you are not using for anything else and is not your actual website URL. I used the askkim.net URL because it's considerably shorter than my primary URL. You can use anything, just make sure it is not some long domain name.
So think of variations you can use, your blog name shortened, etc. You have lots of flexibility so be creative – but keep it short!
When you get the domain name, go to bit.ly and log in. Go to Settings and then Advanced.
Once there, choose the link in this option at the top of the page:
You can select either personal (which has no advanced analytics and other fancy brand stuff) or personal.
Click on the link and in the next window you will be able to add the URL you want to use as your custom shortener.
When you add it, hit the button and bit.ly will give you a number you need to put in your domain name DNS record, instead of the one you already have there. It won't be hard, when you look at your domain info, there is only one number that looks similar – replace it with the one bit.ly gave you. Save changes.
Here's what it looks like for me on Namecheap domain registrar:
Go back to bit.ly and click Verify so they can see if it is working. DNS changes can take anywhere from minutes to a full day. Namecheap says theirs takes about 45 minutes and it took me about 30 so that's probably about right. Yours may be faster or slower.
When you are done, make sure your new URL is set up as a default like mine is in the image above.
Shorten your links now, you are done!
If you notice that certain URL post-fixes are already taken, here's why.
Why would you do this?
Well besides the links being pretty, they can help you in branding. People notice small things like these, I know I notice every time someone has a custom URL. So why not, it will only cost you the domain name, and if you have some, it may not cost you anything.
I use Pretty Link Pro as my primary URL system to help me keep track and manage a lot of commercial affiliate links – but the Bit.ly system gives me the ability to tie into third party apps like Po.st and others that are bit.ly integrated.
The bit.ly service is free for this so why not use it :)
Do you already have a custom URL shortener?
~ Kim ~
PS: One of the primary questions I get asked about short links is whether they can hurt SEO and here's what Google has to say about shortlinks.

2003 Conference: Monetary Policy and Learning
A conference sponsored by
The Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta
March 21-22, 2003
Learning is central to monetary policy: The monetary authorities learn about the economy as they try to achieve their goals, the public learns about policymakers' objectives, and its learning, in turn, changes the way monetary policy works. Yet the topic of learning and monetary policy has until recently been overlooked in academic and policy circles. A new strand of the literature in macroeconomics is changing this state of affairs. This conference brings together some of the main contributors to this literature.
The conference features ten presentations of academic papers; each presentation is followed by a discussant's comments and an open-floor discussion of the paper and related issues. Highlights include dinner speaker Lars Svensson of Princeton University and closing speaker Ben Bernanke of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. The conference will be held in the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta's conference center.


text: My eyesight must be failing. I find myself looking at two screens and yet everything I'm trying to read on it is so tiny. A lot of web sites have such small text that I'm resorting to zooming in to make it more comfortable to read. (To zoom in on any website using Google Chrome on Mac, just use CMD+). The same can be said for Word documents. Size 11 font looks fine on a printed page, but when opened on Microsoft Word, it's close to impossible to read. This is because the page zoom level seems to always default to 120%. From what I've read this is supposed to figure out what the page would be sized at in real life based on your screen size etc so that if you hold up a piece of paper the size of the document on the screen should be the same size. For me, it's not so I was constantly using the page zoom option to zoom in to about 150%. But surely there was an easier way?

CLWSC spokesman Robert (]ase said the vote, open to the 6,700 members of the county's second-largest water utility, would take place at I p.m. today in the cafeteria at Mountain Valley School in Sattler. "We expect the voting to take about two hours," Case said Friday. Member voters will be asked to vote "yes" or "no" on whether to authorize the CLWSC board to sell the utility to San lose Water Corp., and whether to approve a change in the bylaws that would allow the new company to pay $3.2 million to members—providing each with the approximate equivalent of one year's rates. Under tenns of tile proposed purchase, unanimously supported by the CLWSC board, San Jose Water will retire $20 million in CLWSC] debt and set up a Texas subsidiary, Canyon Lake Water Supply Corp., to operate the business. CLWSC began operating as a member-owned nonprofit utility in 1994 after consolidating 46 separate ground water systems.

Theres something for everyone as Wurstfest opens By Leigh Jones Staff Writer Anna Margaret Alexander was the first person to walk through the Wurstfest gates when they opened Friday. The 93-year-old New Braunfels native certainly was an appropriate choice to christen the 45th salute to sausage. "I've been coming here ever since it opened," she said. While other people in the first group through the gates headed straight for the food booths, Alexander said all she wanted to do was listen to the music and think about her husband. "He died about eight years ago," she said. "He loved Wurstfest." As soon as the gates opened, Alexander walked slowly and careful- DID YOU KNOW? Wurstfest pumps more than $6 million into the local economy each year. ly toward Wursthalle. Winter Texans Sharon Bruckschen, from Minnesota, and LaRene Hardy, from Wisconsin, walked right up to the beer booth. "This is my 12th year at Wurstfest," Bruckschen said. "I'm here for the music and the food." So was Freddie Hartfiel, the first person to purchase a kartoffel puffer from the Bracken Volunteer Fire Department. See WURST, Page 3A For many, Wurst Bowl is about much more than footballRivalry takes a back seat in Pakistan By Leigh Jones Staff Writer By Jessica Sanders Staff Writer Her friends called her a traitor and her choice divided her family. But Tammy Palmer can't help it. She's a Canyon High School mom, even if her blood is Uni-corn-blue. "We've been at Canyon four years now," said Palmer, a 1988 graduate of New Braunfels High School. "My brother will call up and give us a hard time, there's still a rivalry in the family." Mary C. Lopez said her allegiance is also torn between Canyon and New Braunfels. She sat with the Unicorns during Friday's Wurst Bowl, but Lopez wore a red Canyon photo button that stood out like a sore thumb. "My grandson, Jimmy Munoz, plays football for New Braunfels and my niece's son, Jacob Gallegos, plays for Canyon," she said, pointing out her two favorite players on the photo buttons. Cynthia Williams, who works for Canyon but lives in New Braunfels' district, said she and Lopez can simply cheer the whole game because they like both teams.

While fans from both teams had reason to cheer, Canyon fans got the last laugh as the Cougars won 42-21. Palmer said she has no regrets about cheering for Canyon during the Wurst Bowl. She and her husband, Steve Palmer, were decked out in red to see their three children. Catrina, a senior, is a varsity cheerleader, Joseph, a junior, plays varsity football and Mariana, a sophomore, dances for the Aristocats. "I have to race to the other side at half-time so I can see Mariana dance and Catrina gets mad if I miss her lifts," she said. "I am so proud of all three of them." New Braunfels fan lana Mal-ish said she would be doing most of her cheering at halftime, when her son, Keane, played clarinet with the marching band. "I can always pick him out MANDY REARY/Herald-Zeitung One-year-old Gabriela Martinez shows her school spirit during the Wurst Bowl in Unicorn Stadium Friday evening. when I see him on the field because I know where he stands and how he marches," she said. Malish said she spends a lot of time cleaning uniforms, chauffeuring band kids and volunteering but believes it is all worthwhile for a group her son loves. Randy Pawelek, who's son Jor dan plays varsity football for Canyon, said he has also put in a lot of volunteer time since becoming a football dad.

Beyonce, Condoleeza Rice, Jennifer Garner And More Team Up To Ban The B-Word
Celebrities are coming together to ban the word bossy, encouraging women to take on leadership roles.
The #BanBossy campaign was created by the Girls Scouts Of USA and Leanin.Org a nonprofit founded by Sheryl Sandberg, Facebook's chief operating officer and author of the book 'Lean In'.
The PSA revealed girls are not supported to take on leadership roles because of the backlash they receive from their peers.
"I'm not bossy," Beyonce says in the video. "I'm the boss."
Actress, Jennifer Garner who has two daughters with Ben Affleck, stated "Being labeled something matters."
Sheryl Sandberg stated:
"We need to recognize the many ways we systematically discourage leadership in girls from a young age – and instead, we need to encourage them. So the next time you have the urge to call your little girl bossy? Take a deep breath and praise her leadership skills instead."
Former Secretary Of State Condoleezza Rice, CNN foreign correspondent Christiane Amanpour, and singer Victoria Beckham were also featured in the campaign. For more information on the Ban Bossy campaign, go to banbossy.com.

Where I stayed
Our spirits are lifted by our new home for the next few days. D&D's bed and breakfast, picked out of the Lonely Planet guide, is a little slice of heaven for people on the road. It's a microbrewery, eco hostel and bird watchers paradise, with a swimming pool and purified water showers. After the challenge of last nights border crossing and drive, we decide to take it easy on ourselves, and spend the day relaxing, enjoying the good food and nicest beer we've tasted in 3 weeks. Tomorrow we hand over the first of the ambulences, as this leg of our journey approaches what will surely be an emotional conclusion.

The Philadelphia Triathlon is recognized as one of the premier triathlon festival weekends in the country. 2017 marks the 13th year of this annual event and features three days of activities including a Multisport Expo, Sprint Distance Race and culminates with the showcase Olympic Distance Race Sunday morning.
Fairmount Park hosts this scenic, challenging course and fun, family atmosphere; just a few reasons the race was named a top-five triathlon in the United States by Outside Magazine and lauded as one of the top big city triathlons by Triathlete Magazine.

Coco Chanel famously posed that women have two weapons – cosmetics and tears. Years later, the beauty industry is booming and one many makeup aficionados want to get into.
Yet as many of you browse for beauty courses each day, it's important to look beyond our own makeup bags and at the extremely competitive industry before us. Getting into the beauty industry can be tough, so to reassure you we have taken a look back at the stories behind some of the industry's biggest names...and before you make assumptions, they're not all women!
Jo Malone
Growing up in a council house in Kent, Jo Malone left school at the age of 14 with no qualifications to her name after struggling with her severe dyslexia. Starting out doing facials, Jo would send her nutmeg and ginger bath oils to send her favourite clients as a thank you. These little thank yous became so popular her husband quit his job as a surveyor to help her set up her first shop at 154 Walton Street in Chelsea. Fast forward almost 20 years and Jo Malone is a household name, her simple scents synonymous with luxury, wrapped up in a cream box with a black bow. In 1999 Malone sold the brand for 'undisclosed millions' to the Estée Lauder brand, remaining as creative director until she was diagnosed with Breast Cancer in 2003. After making a full recovery, she has gone on to prove her power in the Great British beauty industry with her new brand, Jo Loves.
Estée Lauder
Estée Lauder started her beauty company in 1946, selling a simple skin cream developed by her uncle who worked as a chemist. Seven years later her Youth Dew beauty oil put the company on the beauty industry map, as her and her husband sold a handful of handmade products, created in the kitchen of a former restaurant. No one would have suspected Lauder would go on to become the richest self-made woman in the world. Following her death in 2004, Estée left behind an outstanding legacy; her company valued at $26.43 billion dollars, with 40,200 employees. Not bad for some homemade face cream.
Bobbi Brown
After gaining a degree in theatrical makeup, Bobbi Brown moved to New York to try and find work as a makeup artist. With a great deal of competition, it quickly became clear that Brown was far more than an editorial makeup girl, building up a rapport with some of the industry's most respected photographers. Ten years later, Brown knew the makeup work well enough to realise that the products she spent her days applying were too artificial; there was nothing out there to create a 'natural' look. In 1991 Brown took the plunge and developed her ten debut lipsticks, in natural, neutral colours and Bobbi Brown cosmetics was born.
Laura Mercier
Born in the South of France, Laura Mercier left art school to try her hand at makeup, studying at the prestigious Carita beauty school. Moving from Paris to New York in 1985, as part of the team launching American Elle, Mercier quickly built a reputation for creating the 'flawless face'. With celebrity fans such as Madonna, Mercier's makeup line was turned down twice before her lucky break in 1985. True to her word, the first product she released was called camouflage – a concealer that hides all flaws.
Frank Toskan
Although his name might not be as well known as the others, his products are respected as some of the best in the beauty industry. Makeup artist and photographer Frank Toskan teamed up with salon owner Frank Angelo, after becoming frustrated with the lack of colours that would translate well on camera. They aimed to develop a studio line for industry professionals and cooked up their products in their kitchen. In 1984, M.A.C cosmetics was born. Launched on a counter in a department store in Toronto, they changed the game by employing only professional makeup artists. Who would have thought eleven years later Estée Lauder Cosmetics would purchase a percentage of the company, before buying the remaining shares in 1998.
Do you have what it takes to turn your dream products into a worldwide brand? Why not take a beauty course and learn the industry secrets from an experienced expert? Who knows where you might end up.

7719 Wisconsin Avenue
Bethesda, MD 20814
Tony Craddock, Jr. & Cold Front is a dynamic band led by saxophonist Tony Craddock, Jr. Their music, which includes smooth jazz, classic R&B/soul, and gospel, connects the weather with inspirational life messages in order to uplift people, just as a cold front lifts warm air.
Tony's sophomore album, Convection threads the wonder of weather into each song, illustratinghow the natural power of convection is activated within us when our convictions motivate us to live purposefully. He has performed throughout the Washington, D.C. Metro Area at the Verizon Center, U.S. Botanic Garden, Kennedy Center Millennium Stage, National Mall, and National Harbor. He has also had the honor to perform with award-winning artists such as Ken Navarro, Kim Jordan, Ben Tankard, and Luther Barnes.
His records Convection (2013) and Christmas in the Air (2011) put Tony's imagination front and center as a saxophonist, songwriter, producer, and arranger. Both albums are featured on Pandora Radio, and Christmas in the Air has aired on The Weather Channel's "Local on the 8s." Award-winning jazz guitarist Ken Navarro appears on Convection, along with gospel covers of "You Brought the Sunshine" and "Let It Rise." Tony is currently recording his third studio album.
His passions for music and weather began at age 8, courtesy of the smooth jazz on The Weather Channel's "Local on the 8s," which eventually led him to Cornell University, where he earned a Bachelor of Science in Meteorology. After graduating, he founded the independent music label Cold Front Music, with the mission of uplifting and inspiring people with music that allows them to see their lives through the weather. Tony's achievements in music entertainment and education earned him the "Forty Under 40 Award" from Potomac Local News, and the Minerva Award from the Prince William County Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.
Tony believes his music has nothing to do with him, but rather the gifts with which God has blessed him. His musical influences include Kirk Whalum, Boney James, Charlie Parker, Ken Navarro, and Pat Metheny. He hopes to create a sound with, "a consistent blend of melodic simplicity, technical creativity, and the depth and richness of Anita Baker's voice." Tony is a native of Northern Virginia, and currently lives in the Washington D.C. area with his wife Danielle.


text: It's blooming here now. Never has been quite that tall here, but the bloom could have been photographed here. Looks exactly the same. Also, the last of the seedlings derived from it bloomed today, the one today being from the pod and with a blue beard. Won't see a couple of them this year. Freeze got two stalks and one just isn't going to bloom.

Mercuria v. Citibank: the implications for commodity repo transactions
Trade & Forfaiting Review
May 26, 2015
Anna Koshy authored an article, "Mercuria v. Citibank: the implications for commodity repo transactions," published in the May 26, 2015 issue of Trade & Forfaiting Review.
The article discusses what effect the judgment in the Mercuria v. Citibank case, handed down recently by the English High Court, may have for commodity repos, commercially and legally.
In particular, the article looks at the judge's encouraging approach to true sale structures, the key issues discussed in the judgment regarding requirements for delivery under English law, and some key points to note from this case in respect of how repurchase transactions are documented and structured.

the village into darkness Power was restored to the west half of De Soto at am today and to the rest of the village around 6 am Flashed of light that were seen for miles were caused by the high voltage electricity of the lightning flowing through the low voltage power lines according to William J Neuman electric operations supervisor at the Central Il linois Public Service Co Residents of Murphysboro and Carbondale reported they saw the flashes at De Soto Richard Carter of 214 S Walnut St De Soto said it was like daylight at pm He said the lightning appar ently struck a utility pole in the yard next door to his house and then traveled to a transformer on a pole behind his house I was in the basement wat ching television when I heard this horrible hissing sound I looked out the basement win dows and it looked just like daylight he said Carter said the lights dim med all over the house and then went completely out ashort time later I watched the wires fall from the poles and burn he said Patrol cars from the Jack son County sheriffs office and police department were cruis ing around town asking resi denst to stay in their homes because of live wires on the ground It was the best light show T ever say even in Los Angeles was the way James E Sullivan described what happened after lightning ap parently hit an electrical transformer near his home Monday night Sullivan

torch and I told the kids not to look directly at it for fear they would damage their eyesight The 10miriute show was accompanied by cracklings throbbings and hummings It was weird The lightningapparently knocked out all the power in De Soto But the lights in the Sullivan residence just south of khe transformer stayed on Ernest Lonas 207 N Plum De Soto said the flashes of light made a really pretty light show which he enjoyed This morning the kindergar ten students at De Soto School could talk about nothing but the power blackout Barbara Oil embargo Washington AP Complete removal of the oil embargo against the United States with supplies at pre Octoberwar levels is the op timistic expectation of authori tative sources in advance of next Sundays meeting of Arab oil ministers in Libya Prices are likely to drop to about a barrel from the cur rent it was learned as Secretary of State Henry A Kissinger returned from an eightday trip to the Middle East and Europe Restoration of production coupled with conservation measures taken during the re cent squeeze will bring about a plentiful supply of oil for Americans according to estimates In Riyadh Saudi Arabia Sheikh Ahmed Zaki Yamani Saudi Arabian oil minister and a key spokesman for the petro leum producing states of the Middle East called for an end to the Arab oil embargo The Wall Street Journal reported to day Yamani said the Arab cutoff of oil to the United States no longer served any useful purpose At the same time U S of ficials are concerned that the political crisis in Israel could set back Kissingers scheme for having Israel and Syria begin to negotiate through him in Washington a disengagement In the Golan Heights Israerli diplomatic and military representatives were due in about two weeks to be followed within the next two by a similar Syrian mission But now officials say the plan could be derailed if Prime Minister Golda Meirs Labor party hasto join forces with the opposition Likud to form a government Meanwhile the president of the Baltex Oil and Gas Corp of Malakoff Tex said that his firm had contracted for delivery of Saudi Arabian oil W Page Ballard said the oil would be shipped each month for five years to the United States Ballard said he contracted for the oil through a bank in Malaysia and had no direct dealings with Saudi Arabia The price of oil before the ArabIsraeli war was about a barrel Since then production has been cut about 25 per cent and an embargo imposed against the United States and the Netherlandsfor their sup port and friendship for the Jewish state U S experts consider a barrel somewhat high but they also are concerned that a lower price could discourage develop ment of alternative sources of energy Kissinger and his aides will say nothing publicly about the Tripoli meeting To submit legislation by Friday Nixon proposes campaign reforms Washington President Nixon will send Congress his emergency energy veto message Wednesday and will submit campaign reform legislation by Friday the White House said today Nixon said last week he would veto the energy bill principally because he believes its oil roll back provision will lead to fewer petroleum supplies and longer lines at gasoline stations Press Secretary Ronald L Zeigter said Nixon would meet with unspecified congressional leaders this week before an nouncing the campaign reform legislation Congressional ini tiated bills are already well along the legislative route The push for campaign reform has concentrated principally on financing of elections Richard M Fairbanks a staff member of the Presidents Domestic Council told reporters Monday the White House believes the oil bill veto would be sustained The administration opposed the bills requirement for a price rollback on domestic crudeoil that is notnow under price con trols from about a barrel to per barrel Meanwhile federal energy chief William E Simon said emergency allocations to fuel short states have shortened lines at service stations We have succeeded with our emergency allocation Simon told reporters Weve seen the alleviation of the lines at all the hardhit areas However Simon would not give any assurances that the lineswould notreturn once the awex hauirted And the Cost of Living Council ended its freeze on auto insur ance rates apparently taking the view that rates will increase despite

I have a 24' long empty wall opposite my screen and I'd like to turn it into my own personal Wall of Fame. I already have a beautifully framed and signed Roger Staubach poster, but I'd like to get large pictures of the following: Don Meredith, Tony Dorsett, Drew Pearson, Emmitt Smith, Michael Irvin and Quincy Carter. Okay, I'm just kidding about the last one. I don't want anyone to go out of their way, but if anyone has any high resolution pics (600dpi+) that would print nice when blown up to 4 feet in height, could you please post a link here or drop me a message? Signed pictures are even better. Thanks!!

Our familiarity with confrontation in Northern Ireland could easily dull us to the strangeness of the past few days. A community that prides itself on being law-abiding and loyal to the Crown, and which regarded the Royal Ulster Constabulary as its champion, is currently in revolt against the policy and agents of the Crown and, in particular, the RUC.
Dark-suited, church-going Orangemen find themselves being rebuked by people close to Loyalist paramilitaries of inner-city Belfast. In burning cars, blockading airports, stoning police, and accusing the state of depriving them of their culture, the Unionist rebels are behaving and sounding increasingly like ... well, like republicans.
Early on in the peace process, Conor Cruise O'Brien predicted that it would break down. He mapped out how the breakdown of order would occur, with staged confrontations, escalating violence and rising demands made upon the British Government. What he did not predict was that these things would be initiated by Unionists, rather than Sinn Fein.
At first sight, the timing seems extraordinary, a gormless Orange mistake. Sinn Fein had been in grave difficulty, shut out of the all-party talks yet with no plausible alternative strategy. Though the IRA hadn't returned to violence on the streets of Northern Ireland itself, the killing of a Garda in the republic and the bombs in Britain had sapped support in Dublin and America. Gerry Adams's moving impersonation of Gandhi was ceasing to win him media applause.
And now comes this. If Sinn Fein propagandists had been able to write the plot, they couldn't have organised it better: Catholic families scared out of their houses by loyalists, just like in the Sixties; confrontations between Orangemen and the police; Major urged to disown the chief constable of the RUC. Oh, happy day!
Unionists have learned to play the underdog and to use language that is listened to by liberal opinion-formers, to speak of violations of their civil rights and of the threat to their identity. As with republicans, moderate Unionists have become adept at pointing, half-warning, half-threatening, to the gunmen in the shadows.
Whether this does them any good with liberal public opinion remains to be seen. Professor Steve Bruce of Aberdeen University, whose book The Edge of the Union is one of the best studies of Unionism, points out that they have a deep public relations problem: "Ulster Unionists look terribly like the parents of people growing up in the Sixties - bowler hats, dark suits, stuffy, church-going."
The seriousness of their religious convictions is a problem for the British, too: "We don't much like religion and we are not actually too keen on people who take it seriously. Religion in Britain means Derek Nimmo in All Gas and Gaiters; it's about being nice to people," says Bruce. But, for Ian Paisley, "His God is a jealous god and his God tells him that the Republic is a conspiracy against the last outpost of the true Gospel." All of which provides a barrier between a certain kind of Unionism and secular Britain that PR will never breach.
Many Unionists would respond that the religious fervour and bigotry of Catholic Ireland is as deep-rooted - just much better hidden. And it is true that republican hardliners learnt the language of modern politics far earlier than the Unionist leadership. Many Unionists still tend to wear their bigotry (quite literally) on their sleeves.
How can we reconcile what seem like two opposing arguments about Unionism - that it is helping Sinn Fein by turning to confrontation?, and that it is learning from the republicans? The answer, I think, is simple and bleak: the Unionists are behaving like losers. Their claim to be an endangered and minority species is only partly PR; it is also deeply felt.
And for good reasons, Professor Bruce says, "One doesn't have to be a Unionist to describe everything since the suspension of Stormont [in 1972] as series of anti-Unionist actions by the Government." That is a political judgement, of course, not a security one. From the early Seventies, right through to the ceasefire and the Downing Street Declaration, the British state has spent words, money and the blood of British soldiers to defend the majority in Northern Ireland, while, again and again, putting political pressure on that majority.
Over two decades the Unionists have received a series of propositions about power-sharing, assemblies and compromises which they have been reluctant to hear. Their lack of an alternative political strategy has made them the nay-sayers, the immoveable object, of modern Europe.
But this doggedness, this obstinate tenacity, has in turn helped drive them away from the spirit of modern Britain, even while they remain politically part of the UK. The more they struggle, the weaker they become. They have not had the sophistication, to win a political battle with Irish nationalism and British pluralism.
Whenever the political pressure for change grows intense, Unionism turns savagely provocative. It did so after the first attempt to broker a political compromise, the Sunningdale agreement, which was followed by the1974 Ulster workers' strike. Now, as the political process is quietly insisted on by civil servants and ministers, it seems to be happening again.
At a human level, one can sympathise with the alienation of this community, once so arrogantly dominant, now sliding down. The whole world seems against them. Most of it is.
But this overturning of cars and stoning of police is futile. For Unionists, it is peculiarly dangerous. For the more Unionist militancy, the more anger is directed against the state, the weaker will be British sympathy and Britain's desire to help. Unless Unionism realises that political compromise is something to grasp, not something to fear, it will cut itself off from the modern world and make its eventual defeat inevitable. Unionists, the people on the edge of the Union, can still stone their way out of it.

In a response to the consultation paper 'In the Public Interest', published in March by the Lord Chancellor's Department , the Law Society slams the present QC system as "potentially discriminatory and anticompetitive".
The society is calling on the Government to scrap the current system, in which QCs are appointed directly by the Lord Chancellor, while last week a Bar Council working party, headed by former Appeal Court judge Sir Iain Glidewell, published a report in favour of preserving the system.
In its written response to the paper, the Law Society said: "If the designation is to be preserved we feel that, at least, it should not be administered by government. It is inappropriate that a profession which at times needs to challenge the government on behalf of its clients should then have to look to government for preferment that confers a market advantage."
The Law Society states that it would be happy to replace the QC system altogether. It proposes a different specialised accreditation scheme, in which solicitors and barristers could be designated as higher advocates after meeting objective criteria of work experience and knowledge.

The expansion of trinucleotide repeat sequences associated with hereditary neurological diseases is believed from earlier studies to be due to errors in DNA replication. However, more recent studies have indicated that recombination may play a significant role in triplet repeat expansion. CAG repeat tracts have been shown to induce double-strand breaks (DSBs) during meiosis in yeast, and DSB formation is dependent on the meiotic recombination machinery. The rate of meiotic instability is several fold higher than mitotic instability. To determine whether DSB repair is responsible for the high rate of repeat tract-length alterations, the frequencies of meiotic repeat-tract instability were compared in wild-type and spo11 mutant strains. In the spo11 background, the rate of meiotic repeat-tract instability remained at the mitotic level, suggesting that meiotic alterations of CAG repeat tracts in yeast occur by the recombination mechanism. Several of these meiotic tract-length alterations are due to DSB repair involving use of the sister chromatid as a template.

Japan urges more people near nuke plant to leave
TOKYO (AP) Japan's government says it is urging even more people to evacuate the area around the crippled nuclear plant that has been spewing radiation since a tsunami swamped its cooling systems a month ago.
People living within 12 miles already have been ordered to leave because of concerns about radiation in the air. Other people farther out had been advised to stay indoors.
Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano said Monday that residents of four communities, some more than 20 miles from the plant, are being urged to leave within a month.

Edano says it's not an emergency and that residents don't have to get out right away, but high radiation levels have been detected in some places and there are concerns about long-term health risks.
