On the back of sequestration cuts and CMS (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services) rate changes, another home healthcare provider has guided for a far worse year than analysts anticipated. Gentiva Health (NASDAQ:GTIV) on Wednesday morning issued 2013 earnings guidance that is 20% lower than analysts expected (at the midpoint of guidance), and a revenue hit of $30M, a percentage point short of estimates. Home health as a whole is taking a significant hit in the wake of recent regulatory changes, and as we've written before, Amedisys (NASDAQ:AMED), another home health provider, is at the epicenter of these negative effects. Amedisys, after lowering full year expectations last week, still trades at a bloated 18.2 times 2013 EPS guidance - as a comparison, GTIV carried a P/E of just 9.7 before Wednesday's lowered guidance.
With deteriorating businesses, a premium earnings multiple simply doesn't make sense, and we don't expect investors to pay up for a declining business in the long-run. We believe AMED is a short, and while there seems to be some demand for the stock in the $11 range, if the stock moves back to $12.25, strong prior resistance and the 200D SMA, it's definitely worth stepping into the short side. Fundamentals aside, bear in mind that if the market rolls over from its current uptrend, weakened businesses (and segments) like Amedisys and home health in general are the first places that institutions turn to for downside protection. Amedisys' overdone P/E simply isn't sustainable.
Analysts anticipated, on average, 2013 EPS of $1.26 on $1.72B in revenue for Gentiva, according to Yahoo Finance. Wednesday, however, Gentiva said it now expects adjusted EPS of $0.90 to $1.10 and revenue of $1.69-$1.71B. The company called this a result of "...the recently issued instructions from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) regarding the treatment of sequestration," and "...assumes that sequestration will affect the reimbursement related to Medicare patients whose service dates end on or after April 1, 2013." With the major publicly-traded home health providers all missing earnings and providing disappointing guidance in the recent past (AMED lowered significantly just last week), it's clear that the macro environment for home health organizations, including AMED and GTIV, is under pressure.
We've focused on Amedisys in the past because of its heavy and, in our view, unsustainable P/E multiple. Weakening or in-decline healthcare companies tend to trade at 8-10x earnings due to the uncertainty in the business, but AMED still carries a P/E of almost 20. Based on standard earnings assumptions and the trading ranges of its peers (GTIV's P/E is less than 10), AMED should be trading closer to the $6.50 level based on the mid-point of 2013 earnings guidance ($0.60-0.70). While analyst estimates have been coming down incrementally since late last year, and guidance has come down significantly, thus far there's no evidence that the bottom of the earnings trough has been reached. There's still uncertainty about the depth of the CMS and sequestration effects; it remains to be seen whether these businesses have reached the bottom yet.
We laid out the full short thesis on Amedisys in the past (see PropThink's previous reports here and here), and Gentiva's lowered guidance fully supports our view that the home health segment cannot be relied upon in the near-term. The macro forces at work suggest that paying up for a deteriorating business makes little sense, and AMED trades at a hefty premium to its peers based on its P/E. Further impacting Amedisys are a restructured deal with Humana (NYSE:HUM) and a number of ongoing government investigations into Amedisys' billing practices. That's not something investors want to see on top of a weakened overall business. While investors wait for earnings to find their bottom, continue to expect weakness or further declines from Amedisys - fair value is in the single digits.

text: CAMBRIDGE, Mass. and KRAKOW, Poland, Sept. 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- H3 Biomedicine Inc., a biopharmaceutical company specializing in the discovery and development of precision oncology treatments, and Selvita (PL: SLV), one of the largest drug discovery companies in Eastern Europe, announced today that they have entered into a strategic collaboration to develop breakthrough precision medicines for cancers. The companies will seek to validate the importance and druggability of several kinase targets in specific genetic contexts and to generate multiple novel drug candidates against those targets. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120430/NY96379LOGO ) Recent advances in human cancer genomics have revealed novel target opportunities that will enable new approaches to developing cancer medicines. H3 Biomedicine has built extensive and proprietary target acumen. It has also implemented a set of unique tools and research engines in the areas of cancer genomics, bioinformatics and target validation to lend biological insight to genomic findings. These capabilities will help to accelerate its collaborative drug discovery and development efforts. Selvita started its first kinase discovery programs in 2008 and, over the last five years, has built a premium scientific team with one of the world's most robust kinase discovery platforms. Together, the two companies have the know-how to leverage data from the new target opportunities revealed through cancer genomics. "Our goal at H3 Biomedicine is to – in a very focused way – utilize the genomic information from public and proprietary data sets to identify and validate highly relevant cancer genes and to develop effective therapies against those targets," stated Markus Warmuth, M.D., President and Chief Executive Officer, H3 Biomedicine. "Both H3 Biomedicine and Selvita value early validation of drug targets to achieve preclinical proof of concept followed by translation of these findings into novel therapies for targeted patient populations. This collaboration is a key tool in our arsenal as it brings Selvita's kinase biology platform and medicinal chemistry capabilities together with H3's expertise in target validation, bioinformatics and genomics analysis. We look forward to working with Selvita to ultimately bring efficacious medicines to patients." Pawel Przewiezlikowski, Chief Executive Officer of Selvita, said, "We are delighted to enter into this collaboration with H3 Biomedicine, and to apply our kinase discovery platform to jointly advance target discovery. The unique target identification and validation competences of H3 will bring our discovery efforts to a new level."

On Thursday, May 27, Animal Lifeline's staff and volunteers left West Virginia to head back to Pennsylvania. But their work will have an impact for a long time to come. Just look at this great video about the trip to see how much this small group accomplished.
On top of loading up their tools and personal belongings for the return
trip, the Animal Lifeline volunteers also ended up taking a few
adoptable pets back with them to Pennsylvania. The majority of dogs they
transported will be taken into shelters and rescues, where they will
have the opportunity to find loving homes.
A lucky few of them have already found homes with student volunteers who
decided to adopt them while working on the outreach trip. There is also
Ricky, an
Australian Shepherd-Setter mix who
was adopted last Friday by a family who had been waiting for an awesome
Aussie mix just like him.
The majority of dogs who were taken to Pennsylvania are now listed on
Petfinder (see the list below). Among them is Bolt, a young male Aussie/Setter
mix. I first met Bolt while doing some work at the Braxton County
Animal Shelter. He
is a very sweet and friendly dog who is full of love. .
While working at the Braxton County shelter I also got to meet a group
of adorable, super-playful Beagle puppies. Meeting them was
absolutely a highlight of my trip. Now each of them is listed on
Petfinder. There is Pippin, Dexter, Squirt, and Devon (whom Animal
Lifeline just happened to name after me!). They are all eagerly
awaiting adoption.
Those are only a few of the dogs who were taken from West Virginia.
There are still more dogs and some cats waiting for adoption. Check out
their Petfinder profiles:
Braut (Corgi mix)
Burger (Wire Fox
Charcoal (Brussels
Pickles (Lhasa

Wyckoff Farmhouse Museum
New York City's oldest house still stands, offering visitors a glimpse into the Big Apple's humble past. The modest home was originally built in 1652 by an immigrant from the Netherlands. Together with his wife Grietje, Pieter Claesen built a one-room farmhouse with a packed earth floor, unglazed windows, and a large open hearth. Over the centuries, the house has been expanded and modernized a bit, but it remains largely unaltered by time. It's now the center of the Wyckoff Farmhouse Museum, and guests can explore its six rooms and three fireplaces in search of old-fashioned architecture or evidence that America was first colonized by aliens.

Can Your Kids Picture a Female Santa?
Feminism just took a giant snowball in the face.
When you think about it, it turns out this whole Santa narrative is rough from the female prospective, or any of our Christmas favorites. After all, who are the stars of the holidays? Santa, Rudolph (and his 7 other male reindeer), the Grinch, Frosty, Ebenezer Scrooge, Krampus, Jesus, Jack Frost, and so on and so forth. Unless you're birthing a miracle child, Marilyn Monroe asking for "a duplex and checks," or baking cookies for your fat husband to come home to after he's finished a vastly impossible task, there's not a lot of room for you in the holiday canon as a female. Humbug!
If you don't believe us, just watch this upcoming video. In an attempt to gain some perspective on how kids view the Mr. VS Mrs. Claus dynamic, they asked children whether they thought a woman in a big, red power-suit could accomplish Santa's very large bill of holiday tasks. The resounding answer was a big, fat, jiggly NO…
But worse than the NOs are the reasons why it's more difficult to make believe that it couldn't be an Old Saint Nicole.
Remember, the more your SHARE the more aware people will be!

BeschreibungMaggie Slone, fast-talking newspaper reporter, covered a special assignment in Gaston Villiere's renowned café Le Coq d'Or on Mardi Gras night. Along with a good meal, she got an earful of a melodramatic conversation at a nearby table. At the table were two couples. One pair, a blond young man and a green-eyed glamour girl, have a row and break-up the party.
The next day, Maggie is assigned to cover a suicide—the blond young man of the night before. Odd circumstances shroud his death and, even as the reporter tries to fit the puzzle together, the green-eyed Nita is found garroted in a patio in the French Quarter, just behind the home of the Pacellis, a poor Italian family.
Maggie's attempts to solve the murder carry her into strange situations, including a powwow with a group of people which includes one man who seems determined to imprison her. When little Tina Pacelli is kidnapped, Maggie gets down to brass tacks and walks smack into trouble, and more murder.
The riotous color of the New Orleans Mardi Gras, the fast-paced excitement of the newspaper office, and Maggie's talent for trouble are all come together in this thrilling novel. Events move with lightning speed, striking into the heart of a man where hate born of hurt has smoldered for years—finally breaking out in a flame of murder.

WIGGINS — A woman, who investigators believe embezzled more than $300,000 from the Stone County Economic Development Partnership in Wiggins, has been arrested.
Stone County Sheriff's investigator Eddie Rogers tells The Sun Herald 38-year-old Tina Gillespie, of Wiggins, was arrested at Forrest General Hospital on charges of embezzlement and forgery.
Rogers says bond was set at $10,000 for each charge.
He says Gillespie was the executive secretary at the EDP when officials learned on Dec. 3 at least $317,000 had been taken from accounts over the last three years.
It was unclear whether Gillespie has an attorney.

Last Opening Day, knowing he was out for the season, St. Louis Cardinals right-hander Adam Wainwright got all dressed up for his new role. Not pitcher. Cheerleader. Yes, that was Wainwright, parading through the clubhouse after batting practice last March 31, displaying his feminine side. His wife, Jenny, came up with the idea. Their friend, Beverly Baynes, produced a custom-made skirt for Wainwright, who is 6-foot-7, 205 pounds. "She bought the fabric and made it and stitched it," Wainwright recalled Monday. "We even altered it to make it come up just high enough to be disgusting but not high enough to be too disgusting." Cardinals infielder Skip Schumaker disagreed with that assessment, saying the amount of leg that Wainwright showed was "gross." Left fielder Matt Holliday also was less than impressed with Wainwright's look, calling him, "a 6-7 cheerleader with a big old butt." But we digress. "I had pom-poms," Wainwright continued. "And a Yadier Molina shirt I bought at T...

Keiko F. Jones was born in Osaka, Japan. She came to the United States to attend Brigham Young University, where she was a member of Freshman Honor Society (Phi Eta Sigma) and graduated with a B.A. in linguistics and a minor in TESOL. While in school she volunteered teaching English to immigrants at the Provo Community School, for which she was presented the Carnation Community Service Award in 1990 by Utah governor Norman Bangerter. After graduation she continued at the school as one of the faculty. She began at Signature Books in 1993, currently as the business manager. Her most recent preoccupation is her adoption of two dogs: "an intelligent Australian shepherd and a goofy German shepherd." She adds that she "lives on the wrong side of the tracks, enjoys lazy weekends reading mysteries, going with friends to movies, dining out, traveling, and walking on the wild side!" One of her special skills is kimono making (she has a diploma from the Nara Wasai Senmon Gakko). Of her life, Keiko says, "It's not perfect, but I like it!"
Greg Jones was born and raised in Provo, Utah. He likes time in the mountains camping and attending Burning Man. Audio electronics and home theater is a hobby, along with gardening. He and his partner have two cairn terriers which are rather demanding of any free time. Pink Floyd, Radiohead, Tosca, Ben Harper, FSOL, and Nine-Inch Nails are just some of the musical groups he enjoys. True Blood, South Park, Dexter, and Real Time with Bill Maher are television programs regularly watched. His favorite reading is fantasy novels and current events. What is an ideal weekend for him? "Hopping into my truck and making a beer run to California with people you love, great music, … and your tent." Greg oversees the warehouse and is Signature's e-book editor.
Ron Priddis says that this is a rare picture of him since he doesn't get out much. "And maybe that's the reason for the few extra pounds over what I looked like as a skinny kid growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area." He emphasizes that he wasn't raised in the city itself "but in the boring, uniform suburbs." He had a typical LDS upbringing: president of the Deacons Quorum, an Eagle Scout (a prerequisite to receiving a driver's license in the Priddis household), and Pioneer Day celebrations spent at Lake Berryessa. In high school, he won a statewide forensics competition in Sacramento for a speech on Mormon renegade Samuel Brannan, an early indication of a future interest in Mormon history, especially of the renegade stripe. The speech led to an invitation to participate in a fund-raiser for Richard Nixon in San Francisco (a horror he was too naive to appreciate at the time). He went to BYU, served an LDS mission to Switzerland, returned to BYU, and along the way helped found the off-campus newspaper, The Seventh East Press. After graduation, he was hired by Signature Books to help research and write Brigham Young University: A House of Faith. Ever since, he has been with Signature Books, currently as the senior editor and managing director. Ron likes music (opera and world music a la Lisa Gerrard and Nusrat Fateh Ali Kahn), sitcoms (BBC America), things German (can't miss the Deutsche Welle broadcast out of Berlin), Italian restaurants, novels, and peace and quiet, something rare at the Signature Books office.
Devery Anderson and his three brothers were raised among the timber companies, paper mills, and aluminum plant of Longview, Washington, on the Columbia River. During high school he worked weekend graveyard shifts washing dishes at a restaurant known for its interesting aprés-bar crowd that would arrive each night about 2:00 a.m. and wreak havoc with Devery's circadian rhythm. After high school he attended Ricks College in Idaho before serving an LDS mission to London, England. Afterward, he returned to Ricks College, where he met his wife, Kandy. They moved back to Longview and began a family. For nearly a decade, Devery devoted what spare time he had to reading historical tomes while working at the local aluminum plant and raising children. He started a legendary Mormon study group that had about fifty members. When the factory began laying off people in 1993, Devery took advantage of an offer that allowed him to return to school, all expenses paid. He and Kandy sold their house, packed up the family, and moved to Salt Lake City where he began attending the University of Utah in the fall of 1994, eventually earning a B.A. in history. For one class project, he investigated the origins of Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought, which he later turned into an award-winning history, published as a four-part series in the journal itself. While in school, he also began studying the murder of Emmitt Till, the black teenager whose death helped spark the Civil Rights Movement. Devery contacted and became friends with Till's mother. He has since lectured throughout the country and maintains a website, emmitttillmurder.com, on the topic; he is also writing a book on Till. Devery has researched and co-edited with Gary Bergera an award-winning series of three volumes on Mormon temple worship (MHA Best Documentary Book Award): Joseph Smith's Quorum of the Anointed, 1842-1845; The Nauvoo Endowment Companies, 1845-1846; The Development of LDS Temple Worship, 1846-2000. He is now completing a biography on Willard Richards, an early LDS apostle who was present in Carthage jail with Mormon prophet, Joseph Smith, when Smith was murdered in 1844. Devery is an editor with Signature Books.
John Hatch was born and raised in Salt Lake. Growing up his enjoyment tended toward history over football, tech over partying, old movies, current events, cutting-edge literature such as Blood Meridian, and films by David Fincher. He served an LDS mission to upstate New York; his first job was with Deseret Book, where he became the lead supervisor of one of their large stores. He earned a degree in history from the University of Utah and was managing editor of Sunstone magazine. He later supervised a team at the Verizon Wireless tech support department. In 2006 he annotated a first-person account of a Mormon dignitary, published as Danish Apostle: The Diaries of Anthon H. Lund. John has been a staff editor for the Journal of Mormon History and blogger for "By Common Consent" in its early days. He "loves to read, write, watch old detective movies, cook dinner for my family, and discuss politics and religion—even in polite company." He has written four feature-length screenplays and numerous shorts. One script, based in part on research by Signature editor Devery Anderson and having to do with the Emmett Till murder, was a finalist at the Sundance Screenwriters Lab and semi-finalist for the prestigious Nicholl Fellowship from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. He is hoping to publish his senior thesis tracing Cecil B. DeMille's involvement in erecting monuments to the Ten Commandments in city parks. He is also working on a biography of LDS Church president Lorenzo Snow. John is the acquisition editor at Signature Books.
Jason Francis has lived in Davis County most of his life. He met his wife, Michelle, at an LDS singles ward and married in 1999. He and his family love the ocean and visit it as often as possible. When asked, "So why stay in Utah?" He responds, "We also like Bear Lake," and has it as a backup to the ocean when they can't get there. He became interested in design from his Clearfield high school graphic arts class. Growing up, he worked as a film stripper at a local newspaper called the Davis County Clipper and now jokes that "not everyone gets to be a stripper for the Clipper." He also worked at the Utah Tax Commission archives and eventually became the graphic artist at Weber State Printing Services, a job he enjoyed because he was able to work and continue at school simultaneously. Jason graduated from Weber State University in 2012. Jason is currently Signature's production designer.
Stephanie Lauritzen grew up in Holladay Utah, where she now raises her own family. As a high school teacher, she enjoyed sneaking controversial primary source documents into an otherwise dry American History curriculum. Currently, she enjoys less subversive activities such as sewing and perfecting her cookie recipes. On occasion, she writes about feminism, education, and parenthood on her blog The Mormon Child Bride. Stephanie graduated with a degree in history from the University of Utah and a Masters in Arts in Teaching from Westminster College. She married her husband Dan after an embarrassingly short courtship, but thus far still enjoys being married. Her children are the most adorable and clever children on earth, a fact she is willing to debate with vigor and embarrassing intensity.

This article draws from an ongoing debate over explanations of homicide. Within this debate, we investigate the pro-social effects of civil society and social capital. Few cross-national studies explore whether elements of social capital either increase or decrease homicide. The cross-national work that does is often characterized by small, homogeneous samples and the use of inappropriate statistical techniques. Replicating elements of Lederman et al.'s (Econ Dev Cult Change 50:509–539, 2002) original study but with wave IV World Values Survey data and negative binomial regression, we find weak support for the beneficial consequences of social capital on homicide. One dimension of social capital, however, does exhibit a significant negative association with homicide rates, net of other influences: social activism. We also fail to support the Durkheimian hypothesis that the negative effect of social capital on homicide is conditional on modernization. We explore the implications of the findings along with avenues for future research.


text: STAMFORD, Conn., July 12, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Information Services Group (ISG) (NASDAQ: III), a leading technology insights, market intelligence and advisory services company, today released TPI Index data showing that the value of the global outsourcing market improved during the second quarter despite a decline in the number of contracts awarded. The 2Q12 Global TPI Index, which covers commercial outsourcing contracts worth $25 million or more, measured total contract value (TCV) of $21.4 billion, an increase of 7 percent from both the second quarter of 2011 and the first quarter of 2012. Driving the improvement was strong growth in both the business process outsourcing (BPO) segment and the Asia Pacific region. The 173 contract awards during the second quarter represented a drop of 22 percent year-over-year and 14 percent sequentially. However, the market saw renewed activity in mega-deals, those contracts with a TCV of $1 billion or more, and mega-relationships, those contracts with an annual contract value (ACV) of $100 million or more. "The outsourcing market showed improvement during the second quarter on both a year-over-year and sequential basis," said John Keppel, Partner & President, Research and Managed Services, ISG. "However, the quarter's growth was not enough to prevent a first-half decline in both value and activity from last year's record performance." The TPI Index, presented by ISG, provides a quarterly snapshot of the sourcing industry for clients, service providers, analysts and the media. Now in its 39th consecutive quarter, it is the industry's authoritative source for marketplace intelligence related to outsourcing transaction structures and terms, industry adoption, geographic prevalence and service provider metrics. The 2Q12 Global TPI Index tallied five mega-deals compared with just one each in the second quarter of 2011 and the first quarter of 2012. Mega-deals accounted for nearly 30 percent of global TCV during the second quarter, and three were awarded in the less mature markets of Brazil and India. Eleven mega-relationships were awarded in the quarter, compared to four a year ago and seven in the prior period. By scope, the BPO segment awarded $8.3 billion in TCV during the second quarter, an increase of 7 percent year-over-year and 32 percent sequentially. Among the awards were two mega-deals with a combined TCV of $2.5 billion. For the first half of 2012, BPO TCV is down 13 percent. IT outsourcing (ITO) contracts accounted for $13.1 billion in second-quarter TCV, a rise of 6 percent year-over-year but a decline of 5 percent sequentially. Year-to-date, ITO TCV is off 6 percent. By region, Asia Pacific turned in the fastest growth during the second quarter, driven by activity the Telecom & Media and Banking, Financial Services & Insurance (BFSI) verticals and Greater China and Australia New Zealand sub-regions. The region's $4.7 billion in TCV represented year-over-year growth of 181 percent and sequential growth of 162 percent. For the first half of 2012, TCV in Asia Pacific was up 44 percent. Americas TCV of $8.3 billion rose 6 percent over the same quarter a year ago but dropped 6 percent from the first quarter. For the first half, the region was flat. Europe, the Middle East & Africa (EMEA) registered $8.4 billion in TCV, a drop of 21 percent year-over-year and 11 percent sequentially. Year-to-date, EMEA TCV is off 24 percent, as continuing economic struggles in the Eurozone still appear to be subduing decision-making about outsourcing. Said Keppel: "Looking forward, we anticipate a soft third quarter, which faces an especially tough comparison with 2011. The fourth quarter will likely pick up, with some help from larger deals in the pipeline ready to go to award."

Home » About District Energy » Why CHP for Campuses?
Why CHP?|Emerging Drivers|Siting & Permitting|Technical Feasibility|Economic Feasibility|Next Steps
Washington, DC - February 16, 2012. During the DOE budget testimony before the Senate Energy & Natural Resources Committee on Feb 16, Energy Secretary Chu affirmed DOE support for CHP and cited his recent visit to the Houston district energy system, Thermal Energy Corporation (TECO).
Why CHP for Campuses?
Results of a 2001-2002 U.S. Department of Energy and Oak Ridge National Laboratory-sponsored IDEA Survey and Report indicate the potential of CHP adoption in college and university, urban downtown, and airport campus applications. A university campus is often an ideal application for CHP because thermal loads (heating and air conditioning) match well with power requirements and existing district energy piping systems already aggregate thermal requirements.
Report: Guidebook to CHP on Campuses
Combined heat and power (CHP) systems increase the efficiency of power plants. Standard power plants effectively use just 40 percent of the fuel they burn to produce electricity. 60% of the fuel used in the electric production process ends up being rejected or "wasted" up the smokestack.
CHP uses this reject heat to heat, cool, and/or dehumidify buildings in a surrounding area through a district energy system, sometimes doubling efficiency. Combined heat and power is only possible when there is an area near the plant that has a need for the thermal energy a downtown area, a college campus or an industrial development.
District energy systems are well suited for CHP applications because they:
Significantly expand the amount of thermal loads potentially served by CHP
Reduce the requirement for size and capital investment in production equipment due to the "diversity" of consumer loads
Use larger and more efficient equipment and can take advantage of such things as thermal energy storage that aren't economically effective on a small scale.
Aggregate thermal loads, enabling more cost-effective CHP. District energy systems may be installed at large, multi-building sites such as universities, hospitals, and government complexes. District energy systems also can serve as merchant thermal systems providing heating (and often cooling) to multiple buildings in urban areas.
In addition, IDEA President Rob Thornton points out, many campus facility managers are well-qualified to understand and maintain CHP systems, and motivated to share their successes with other managers in a collegial atmosphere.
Beyond these factors, there are several drivers emerging on campuses that make CHP a winning choice. Siting criteria and permitting requirements, and technical and economic feasibility studies are needed to determine if CHP makes sense for a particular campus application.
Next steps may include having Board of Trustee decision makers and technical facility managers to understand each others' languages to come to a decision that would benefit all interested parties.

Best Brick Manufacturing in Tuticorin is the Ganga Bricks. The same number of bricks will cover more area than clay bricks Due to high strength, practically no breakage during transport and use. Due to uniform size of bricks mortar required for joints and plaster reduces almost by 50%. Due to lower water penetration seepage of water through bricks is considerably reduced. Gypsum plaster can be directly applied on these bricks without a backing coat of lime plaster. These bricks do not require soaking in water for 24 hours. Sprinkling of water before use is enough.

Obama back from Hawaii, Congress bickers on cliff
By DAVID ESPO
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama returned to the White House on Thursday from a vacation shortened by government gridlock while Democrats and Republicans snarled across a partisan divide and showed no sign of compromise to avoid year-end tax increases and spending cuts.
Adding to the woes confronting the middle class was a pending spike of $2-per-gallon or more in milk prices if lawmakers failed to pass farm legislation by year's end.
White House aides disputed reports that Obama was sending lawmakers a scaled-down plan to avoid the "fiscal cliff" of tax increases and spending cuts. They gave no indication he would invite congressional leaders to a White House meeting either late Thursday or possibly today.
Top Senate leaders said they remain ready to seek a last-minute agreement. But a little more than four days from the deadline, there was no legislation pending in either the House or the Senate to prevent the tax hikes and spending cuts that economists say could send the economy into a recession.
Far from conciliatory, the rhetoric was confrontational and at times unusually personal.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., accused House Speaker John Boehner of running a dictatorship, citing his refusal to call a vote on legislation to keep taxes steady for most while letting them rise at upper incomes. The bill "would pass overwhelmingly," Reid predicted, and said the Ohio Republican won't change his mind because he fears it might cost him re-election as speaker when the new Congress convenes next week.
Boehner seems "to care more about keeping his speakership than keeping the nation on a firm financial footing," he said in remarks on the Senate floor.
A few hours later, Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell expressed frustration and blamed the standoff on Obama and the Democrats. "Republicans have bent over backwards. We stepped way, way out of our comfort zone," he said, referring to GOP offers to accept higher tax rates on some taxpayers.
"We wanted an agreement, but we had no takers. The phone never rang and so here we are five days from the new year and we might finally start talking," McConnell said.
Still, he warned: "Republicans aren't about to write a blank check for anything the Democrats put forward just because we find ourselves at the edge of the cliff."
Brendan Buck, a spokesman for Boehner, responded in a similar vein to Reid's comments. "Harry Reid should talk less and legislate more if he wants to avert the fiscal cliff. The House has already passed legislation to do so," he said, referring to a measure that extends existing cuts at all income levels.
Addressing the GOP rank and file by conference call, Boehner said the next move is up to the Senate, which has yet to act on House-passed bills to retain expiring tax cuts at all income levels and replace across-the-board spending cuts with targeted savings aimed largely at social programs.
"The House will take this action on whatever the Senate can pass — but the Senate must act," he said, according to a participant in the call.
At the same time, Boehner told Republican lawmakers the House would convene on Sunday evening.
The risk of higher milk prices stems from the possibility that existing farm programs will expire at year's end, and neither chamber of Congress has scheduled a vote on even a temporary extension to prevent a spike. There have been unverified estimates that the cost to consumers of a gallon of milk could double without action by Congress.
The president flew home from Hawaii overnight after speaking with top congressional leaders.
Before leaving the White House last Friday, the president had called on lawmakers to pass scaled-down legislation that prevents tax increases for the middle class, raises rates at upper incomes and renews expiring unemployment benefits for the long-term jobless. He said he still supports a more sweeping measure to include spending cuts to reduce deficits, but said they could wait until the new year.
That capped an unpredictable week in which Boehner pivoted away from comprehensive deficit reduction talks with Obama to an aborted attempt to push legislation through the House that retained existing tax levels except above $1 million. Anti-tax Republicans rebelled at raising rates on million-dollar earners, and Boehner backpedaled and canceled the planned vote.
Without congressional action, current tax rates will expire on Dec. 31, resulting in a $536 billion tax increase over a decade that would touch nearly all Americans. In addition, the military and other federal departments would have to begin absorbing about $110 billion in spending cuts.
Failure to avoid the "fiscal cliff" doesn't necessarily mean tax increases and spending cuts would become permanent, since the new Congress could pass legislation cancelling them retroactively after it begins its work next year.
But gridlock through the end of the year would mark a sour beginning to a two-year extension of divided government that resulted from last month's elections in which Obama won a new term and Republicans retained their majority in the House.
The tax issue in particular has been Obama's first test of muscle after his re-election in November. He ran for a new term calling for higher taxes on the wealthy, and postelection public opinion polls show continued support for his position.
Boehner's decision to support higher rates on million-dollar earners marked a significant break with long-standing GOP orthodoxy, but the resistance among his rank and file so far has trumped him as well as any mandate the president claims.

WJKR is a radio station licensed to serve Worthington, Ohio at 103.9 MHz. It currently broadcasts a variety hits format and is the former Central Ohio radio broadcast home of the Pittsburgh Steelers. The studios are in North Columbus, and the transmitter is near Fisher Rd. and Phillipi Rd. in west Columbus, OH.
The station broadcast classic rock music as WEGE "Eagle 103.9" prior to becoming WTDA ("Ted FM") in 2004, when it started playing a mix of Top-40-based hits, ranging from the 1960s through current popular hit music. With the Ted FM format, WTDA used the slogan "We Play Anything." The station's call letters attempted to incorporate this "Ted FM" branding. In September 2005, the station's owners added the Bob & Tom show, which had been dropped by Clear Channel's WBWR.[1]
On January 8, 2007, WTDA rebranded itself as the first and only FM talk station in Columbus, picking up the Glenn Beck radio show after the program was dropped from rival station WTVN.
On September 8, 2007, the Columbus Dispatch reported that the station had become the Columbus radio home of the Pittsburgh Steelers. "We are aware that Pittsburgh Steelers fans were underserved in central Ohio," said Hal Fish, program director. The Steelers were moved to sister station WMNI beginning with the 2013 season.
On December 21, 2009, the station flipped to classic hits and rebranded as "Classic Hits 103.9", using satellite programming from Dial Global's Classic Hits service.[2] WTDA was one of four radio stations in the Columbus market to have a Classic Hits/Oldies format, joining Newark-based WNKO and the WNND/WNNP "Rewind 103.5/104.3" simulcast.
On June 14, 2012, WTDA flipped to an all-news format, changing their call letters to WMNI-FM, simulcasting with WMNI, which had previously had an adult standards format. The simulcast ended on Thursday, July 18, 2013, when WMNI returned to the adult standards format.
The station shifted to Red Eye Radio from 1:00 am to 5:00 am.
On July 24, 2013, WMNI-FM changed their format to variety hits, branded as "103.9 Jack FM".[3] The call letters were changed to WJKR the following day. The WJKR letters were formerly used on 98.9 FM, the previous "Jack FM" station in Columbus. That station is now conservative talk WTOH. WJKR moved its city of license from Westerville, Ohio to Worthington effective August 22, 2013.

A Guy Was Shooting Video When a Bolt of Lightning Hit Right Next to Him [Video]
On Monday, a guy in Arvada, Colorado, near Denver, was almost struck by lightning while he was outside trying to film a storm. In the YouTube video, there's a huge flash. Then you hear him groan after it knocks him over.
Apparently it didn't actually hit him. But he was close enough that it made him start CONVULSING for some reason. And he says he still has ringing in his ears.

Chapter 11Mature
"Where did we go wrong?" Maven asked her handmaiden.
"Maven, he made that promise to you twenty years ago when you were both thirteen, you were both foolishly in love, unaware of the actual struggles of life." Helena replied, pouring Maven a goblet of wine.
The sun was just beginning to rise and break through the clouds from last night's storms. Maven ran her fingers through her long, golden blonde hair. "Foolishly in love we were..." She sighed, then took the goblet from Helena. "Helena, I think it's time for me to get around, I'm about to have an exceedingly busy day."
Helena left the Queen's chambers swiftly. Maven broke down and fell to her knees and began to cry. She cried out to the Gods for mercy and forgiveness and she cried out to the Southern Kingdoms for murdering her King.
"No, no. I should not be acting like this. I am the mother of my people. I am the Queen of the Southern Kingdoms. The Queen that will unite the Queendom and bring us to victory!"
Maven called in her handmaidens once more to help her get around. After placing the extravagent blood red gown on her, they then attached a golden breastplate to her gown.
"My Gods, you look like you're about to fight a battle." Cyca said, giving a small laugh.
"A battle? Yes. I am about to fight one of the greatest battles I have ever seen." Maven looked at Cyca and gave her a small smile. "But no worries dear, this is an interal battle."
The Burning Ember had docked in Everspear Port, the royal port of Esses. Vandresa arrived on the top deck shortly after her ship had docked. The guards greeted her, then gave her a royal escort to the Keep. Below the deck of the Burning Ember, Vandresa's men began to put on their armor; armor that was replicated to look exactly like the armor of the Royal Guards. Lilliana on the other hand, took the time to restring her bow.
"Welcome back to Esses, Lady Vandresa." One of the guards said.
"Thank you. It still looks as beautiful as it was when I was here for my aunt's wedding." Vandresa said, smiling at the guard.
The golden gates of Sunspear opened, Vandresa had finally arrived. "Thank you, I can find my way from here." Vandresa said.
Sunspear Keep was bustling as people were preparing it for the King's funeral, then for Rogan's crowning ceremony. In a matter of seconds, all the people stopped and stared up at the top of the royal staircase in silence.
"Maven..." Vandresa said softly, she felt the hilt of her dagger and she gripped it.

Recently a third year student at the University of Winchester studying Theatre Production (Arts & Stage Management) contacted me. Her focal topic is looking at "able bodied performers portraying disabled [people] and how we, as participants in the arts industry, feel about it."
She sent me some questions and here's how I responded:
Autonomy is often used to mean independence. Though their dictionary definitions are similar and they are synonyms of each other, I like to talk about autonomy in a slighty different way.
For me, autonomy is having the choice over when I am independent and when I am dependent. It's similar to the notion of interdependence, except the latter, interdependence, suggests an ongoing process of co-operation or collaboration. Perhaps autonomy could include the choice of interdependence as well, but for now I want to focus on the aspect of choice.

Last Sunday I emailed Paul Gibson, Disability Commissioner at the Human Rights Commission about two recent cases of disability-related discrimination by Immigration New Zealand. I've had no reply so I thought I'd make it an open letter. Please feel free to use this as a template to also email Paul — email@example.com
Dear Paul
I am concerned by the ethical argument brewing between the parents of Charley Hooper — who have finished a series of surgeries and hormone therapy to contain her growth and development — and disability/human rights advocates like Disability Rights Commisioner Paul Gibson — who has said the procedure was "unnecessary" and "inconsistent with the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD)."
The Hoopers say they have "no regrets" about stopping the growth of their daughter — who "has less control over her body than a newborn, with no head control and no purposeful movement of any limbs. She is blind and does not recognise anyone, including her parents." The procedure has also stopped Charley from having 200 seizures per day and has resulted in her smiling for the first time.
Gibson is calling for a law change to protect the rights of disabled children as a result of the Hooper situation. But whose call is it to define the "rights" and "protection" of children in circumstances such as this?
I got a fair bit of flack for the post I wrote on Friday, asking disabled people to toughen up and stop telling their stories of hardship in public. I also criticised inspirational speakers, as well as media portrayal of disabled people triumphantly doing ordinary things.
I'm not used to the kind of negative vitriole with which a few people responded — it was quite affronting and upsetting. Nevertheless, I should note, my disparaging audience was balanced ten-fold by those who liked the post. I've been reflecting on the reason for the offence and, prompted by a question by a more balanced commenter, why I feel so strongly about this issue. After all, strong reactions are mainly fuelled by psychological projection.
So, what I wrote was about me, not about the people I criticised. To answer the question, "Why is it affecting you personally so strongly?" I've reflected on what's going on for me.
I've been busy the last few weeks so I haven't had time to blog for a while. This is a quickie to keep Google happy and it's a bit of a gripe.
I want disabled people, people with disabilities, impairments, invisible or otherwise, to harden up.
Not in a "don't express your feelings" way but in a "if we're ever going to be accommodated in the world, we've got to stop portraying ourselves publicly as traumatically wounded, emotionally over-dramatic, irritatingly inspirational and sensationally triumphant" way.
This week the Needs Assessment and Service Co-ordination Association (NASCA) held its national forum. According to its website, "NASCA provides leadership, assistance and peer support to NASC agencies throughout Aotearoa/New Zealand. NASC services are contracted by the Ministry of Health or District Health Boards to serve people with disabilities, people with mental health issues and older people needing age-related support."
I was invited to present the keynote plenary session on the first morning, providing a client's perspective. This, I explained in my introduction, was interesting given my well-known disdain for the NASC process. I assumed therefore, that I hadn't been invited to give a pep talk — instead, I offered some critical analysis, drawing on the following model:
I asked my audience to embrace this mindset, as well as promising to do the same.
This is the submission I made recently to the Productivity Commission's Inquiry into More Effective Social Services, in response to Chapter 11: Client choice and empowerment. Submissions closed in June.
I am Managing Director of Diversity New Zealand Ltd. I am recognised in New Zealand and overseas as a social and creative entrepreneur with fifteen years' experience as a professional, award-winning comedian. My company works to develop capacity in individuals, teams, organisations and communities in the areas of leadership, diversity, complexity and change.
I use Individualised Funding (IF) to manage my support.
Following on from my last post about rebranding, I've also changed how I describe myself or, more accurately, my experience. I talk about "my paradoxical experience as a queer, caucasian, cisgender man with unique function (disability)."
Even doing this is paradoxical, given I argued the point in 2012 at TEDxAuckland that we need to decay labels to reveal diversity. But I'm doing it to explain a phenomenon of power, privilege and paradox, rather than to label myself.
Power and privilege have long been part of the politics of diversity and discrimination. Recently I heard another diversity expert, Leslie Hawthorne, encourage those with privilege to raise awareness of it by, for example, not using the word "lame" to describe something that is bad or stupid, because you are implying that people who can't walk are bad or stupid*.

It's fair to say that people generally know what's in their underwear, and where it came from, right? An Italian gentleman with a wad of a cash in his skivvies couldn't answer the "where it came from" part, putting him in the soup. As reported at www.couriermail.com.au:
British border control officials caught an Italian man trying to smuggle £10,000 ($17,330) out of Northern Ireland in his underwear. The man was stopped by border control officials on July 23 as he boarded a flight to Rome from Belfast International Airport.
The cash – consisted of British Pound Sterling and Euro notes – was discovered in the man's underwear, pockets and wallet.
