I just wanted to let the world know, and be on record as saying I am no longer a gun owner. Based on the new administration and fears over all my once legal property becoming a felony waiting to happen I have sold all my firearms, ammunition and knives. I have cancelled my NRA membership and subscriptions to all gun related magazines. I will remain as always an active reader and relatively inactive poster on this site.
I await with great anticipation the coming of the new world. Where the Great Provider will absorb my 401K and all my savings to disperse to the less fortunate. I will sit idly by while agents of the UN formed government search my home for the evil weapons that once kept me free. They will find none. I will open my home for those that never bothered to get a job and support them happily.

WOW! I thought you were serious there for a minute. Whew!
Do I hear a smattering of sarcasm here?
If so or if not. ME TOO! ME TOO!
I'm clinging to my guns and religion.
Funny, I sold all mine too. So uh, Obama Administration, when you send everyone out to confiscate all the remaining firearms after the mandatory turn in period, you can skip my house...they are gone already! And I totally used the money to help a less fortunate's crack addiction...I mean home loan.
All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.
Good for you! Now we can live in a world of peace, no crime, and happiness!
I can already see the rainbows rising above the horizon and unicorns flying in the skies. Glorious day! Let's all join hands and sing kumbaya.
Me too. Took them to the last local gun show and sold them all in FTF transactions. No paperwork just cash trading hands. I feel so much better now that I'm surrounded by their evil presence in the house. Now that the big O is in the White House and all crime is going to end I think I can finally remove those pesky locks from my doors too. No more having to carry keys around.

I, too, gave up my guns! I now carry a mace (not the chemical kind) and a battle axe.

Illuminated manuscripts light up medieval monarchs
By Alice Baghdjian
LONDON (Reuters) - Flecks of gold and vibrant swirls of royal blue grace the pages of illuminated royal manuscripts at the British Library in London, which will shortly go on show to the public.
The 150 manuscripts in the exhibition represent the most stunning pieces from the library's collection, the largest group of medieval manuscripts in Britain and one of the most important in the world.
"The manuscripts contain tens of thousands of the best medieval decorative and figurative paintings, which are as vivid as they were when they were first painted," said Scot McKendrick, head of history and classical studies at the British Library.
The richly-colored exhibition will span the period between the eighth and 16th century, displaying images that have remained encased within the tomes for hundreds of years, protected from light and dirt.
The artifacts range from the depiction of the lineage of English kings across five meters of parchment scrolls to a dynamic illustration of Alexander the Great slaying dragons.
An image of King David shines out from the Westminster Psalter, created in 1200 and on loan from Westminster Abbey, plucking the strings of a flashing golden harp.
And a 13th century map by Matthew Paris, one of the foremost English historians of the Middle Ages, plots the pilgrimage route from London through France and Italy to Jerusalem, finishing with a map of the Holy Land featuring crusaders' castles, churches, and even a camel.
"When we selected the manuscripts to go on display, we tried to pick those which were visually very strong and had a very strong art element," Kathleen Doyle, curator of illuminated manuscripts at the British Library, said. Continued...

The Vikings have set the stage to draft a wide receiver in the second round of the NFL draft. The conventional wisdom at this point is that, with the first two picks in the draft reserved for quarterbacks Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III, the Vikings will make OT Matt Kalil the first non-quarterback to come off the board with the third pick in the draft. The signings of cornerbacks Chris Carr and Zack Bowman, would appear to reduce the need to draft a CB in the second round. However, to date the Vikings have done nothing to address the wide receiver position.
However, when fans look at the draft prospects, there is more put into the decision of who to potentially select than might meet the eye. Why? Because not all wide receivers are created equal and, in the case of the Vikings, their needs may differ from those of other teams.
There are basically three types of wide receivers. First are the size receivers that are big-bodied, long-limbed guys who specialize in using their size to create mismatches. Second are the speed guys who earn their money outside the hash marks deep down the field as home-run hitters. Third are smaller receivers who line up in the slot and specialize in timing passes design to be quick-hitters that can spring big plays.
To put these three different wide receiver types in perspective, all one has to do is go back to 2009 when the Vikings had prototypes of all three types of wide receivers on the roster. Sidney Rice was the big receiver that outmuscled cornerbacks for the ball. Bernard Berrian was the speed guy on the outside. Percy Harvin was the slot receiver who could pop a 5-yard pass and turn it into a 50-yard gain. They had all dimensions from a receiver perspective at that time. Now they need to find replacements for two of those three positions.
When it comes to value of receivers on draft day, the big receiver is the player in most demand. Justin Blackmon and Michael Floyd are the top two prospects that fit that bill – and the only two that are locks to be gone by the time the Vikings make their pick in the second round. If this is the area the Vikings are focused on, players like Alshon Jeffery, Mohamed Sanu and Nick Toon will be the guys squarely on the Vikings' radar. Much like when the Vikings drafted Rice in 2007, if size and physicality is what the Vikings are looking for, one of those three players might be the object of their affection.
If the Vikings want a speed receiver who specializes on stretching the field deep to open up the short passing game and take a safety with him down the field (something Berrian wasn't able to consistently do), they're looking for a completely different receiver type. There is no guarantee that any of these receivers will be gone, although there is growing evidence that someone will jump of Georgia Tech's Stephen Hill, whose size (6-5) and speed (4.3 in the 40) will intrigue somebody enough to take him in the later stages of the first round in hopes of catching a Randy Moss-type lightning in a bottle. If Hill is gone, the likely candidates for the Vikings would be Rueben Randle of LSU and Brian Quick of Appalachian State.
Because the Vikings already have Harvin, their interest in the smaller slot receiver isn't nearly as pronounced. Players of that ilk typically hang on the board much longer than the other two types of receiver. In fact, with the exception of Kendall Wright of Baylor, there isn't a receiver of this type that would really intrigue the Vikings (or anyone else for that matter) with the 35th pick of the draft. The expectation is that the Vikings won't have to wrestle with that potential dilemma, because the belief is that Wright will be long since gone by the time the Vikings pick in the second round.
Fortunately for the Vikings, it's a good year to have needs at wideout. This is one of the deepest classes in years. The team would be ecstatic if somehow a player they have ranked as a first-round prospect slips to them. Blackmon clearly will be gone, and both Floyd and Wright are seeming locks to be off the board by the end of Day One of the draft. So what does that leave? The Vikings' WR six-pack.
There are six realistic candidates for the Vikings to target with their second-round pick. In the big receiver category, there is Jeffery, Sanu and Toon. In the speed receiver category, there is Hill, Randle and Quick.
The Vikings aren't going to say who they're enamored with or what position they're focusing on, but one thing seems relatively apparent at this point – if the Vikings take a wide receiver in the second round of the draft, it's going to be one of those six players. The only question is which type of receiver they want – somebody with a Sidney Rice skill set or one with a Bernard Berrian skill set. The decision will come down in three weeks, but the debating can start now.

Why has my cat become more affectionate and more active after his haircut ?
My one and a half year old cat who was recently shaved due to mats and naughts has become more affectionate and more active. I would like to know Why the sudden change in his behavior ?

It is very rare to hear this. It completely shows that there is some behavioural issue with your cat. I think you shoud consult with the vet as only they can resolve this problem.
Member 1155186 answered on 1/11/14. Helpful? / 0
If you're concerned you should definitely have a vet check out your cat, but it actually seems to me like your cat probably was really uncomfortable with its mats and whatnot and it most likely just feeling a lot better now that the problem's solved via the shaving. I mean, definitely don't rule out some health problem or anything, and keep an eye on your cat in case its behavior changes again, but just from what you've described, that's what seems like the most likely case to me.
Buddy answered on 1/11/14. Helpful? / 0
I would agree with answer #2 that cats are naturally clean, and it annoys them when they have a bunch of mats that they can't get out. If they have longer hair, this affects the heating and cooling ability of the fur/coat. Hon looks good and probably feels better too. As far as being more active, she is probably responding to your positivity regarding her groom! You might think about doing this a couple of times a year if the effects are beneficial to your pet. Cheers! ^_^
Pookie Face (in memory) answered on 1/12/14. Helpful? / 0
I agree with the last two posters as well. It sounds like the mats and knots were making your cat miserable and now he is happy and thanking you for putting an end to his misery. In the future, keep your kitty brushed. It will prevent the mats and knots - and furballs! My cat loves to be brushed with the "Zoom Groom". It is just like giving your cat a massage. Google it. They are sold in pet stores and on the internet.

I m overwhelmed.
I m taking care of my father, my aunt and my mother. They are 87, 85 and 82. They are mostly in good health.
It is just, too much.
I do not want my siblings to "help" me. I want them to share this with me.
I have no children, so some sort of 'law' says my parents and aunt, are MY responsIbility.
Besides, my SO is not feeling well and I don t like my job.
I m sure my life will be better soon.
Sorry for the rant, I needed to do it. Sorry.

Bone marrow - nonneoplastic
Erythroid maturation (erythropoiesis)
Reviewers: Dragos Luca, M.D. (see Reviewers page)
Revised: 28 September 2012, last major update August 2012
Copyright: (c) 2001-2012, PathologyOutlines.com, Inc.
● Erythropoiesis takes place within the bone marrow in units composed of macrophages surrounded by erythroblasts; either erythroid burst-forming units (BFU-E, immature) or erythroid colony-forming units (CFU-E, more mature)
● Progresses from myeloid stem cell to pronormoblast, to basophilic normoblast, to polychromatophilic normoblast, to orthochromatic normoblast (then extrusion of nucleus), to reticulocyte (young erythrocyte) and then to erythrocyte (red blood cell)
● Characterized by increasing hemoglobin synthesis, decreasing cell size, decreasing cytoplasmic basophilia and progressive chromatin condensation with extrusion of nucleus at the orthochromatic stage of development
● Extruded nuclei bind on macrophage receptors and are subsequently phagocytized; loss of mitotic capability occurs after the early stage of polychromatophilic normoblast
● Average of 4 cell divisions during maturation, so a proerythroblast can give rise to 16 red cells
● Average time in the bone marrow from proerythroblast to reticulocyte is 7 days; average time for reticulocytes to mature into red cells is 1-2 days
● Early erythroid precursors cluster in islands randomly distributed throughout marrow, but related to vascular structures
● Erythroblast (pronormoblast) islands may be specialized niches where intercellular interconnections and cytokines regulate erythropoiesis (Curr Opin Hematol 2006;13:137)
Erythropoietin and Thrombopoietin
● Erythropoietin (EPO): lineage-specific cytokine (glycoprotein) responsible for erythropoiesis (proliferation, differentiation and survival by delaying apoptosis), produced by renal cells in response to hypoxia and by the bone marrow
● EPO receptor present in highest concentrations on erythroid progenitor cells and proerythroblasts, but absent on mature erythrocytes
● Thrombopoietin (TPO): may also have a role in erythroid maturation
● Heme protein and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) exert negative feedback on the production of red blood cells
Erythrocyte production
● Steady-state: 2-4 X 109 erythrocytes/kg/day; 40,000-80,000 reticulocytes/µL/day
● In utero: hypoxic environment → high EPO → high erythroid production; after birth: oxygen → drop in EPO → dramatic drop in the number of erythroid elements in the bone marrow in the first few months of life (as low as < 5%)
● After the initial postnatal period: marked decrease in hematocrit → hypoxia → EPO release by kidney → increase in erythroid elements to the normal 20-25% of nucleated cells in bone marrow (sustained hypoxia → up to 5-7 times increase in number)
● Sideroblast: normoblast containing small iron granules detectable with Prussian blue (approximately 20% of normoblasts)
● Erythropoiesis stimulators: anemia / hypoxia, thyroid hormones, androgens, growth hormone and corticosteroids
Micro description
● Pronormoblast: 13-18 microns, round / ovoid with thin rim of basophilic cytoplasm, large spherical nucleus with fine chromatin and 1-2 nucleoli; usually perinuclear halo; N/C ratio is 90%
● Basophilic normoblast: 12-17 microns; increase in deeply basophilic cytoplasm compared to pronormoblast and slightly smaller nucleus with slight chromatin condensation; often perinuclear halo; no granules, no nucleolus; N/C ratio is 75%-85%
● Polychromatophilic normoblast: 12-15 microns; round / ovoid with abundant, dull gray to gray-green, variegated cytoplasm due to polyribosomes (basophilic) and hemoglobin (eosinophilic); round, condensed and basophilic nucleus has coarse granules that give it a cart-wheel appearance; perinuclear halo present; no nucleolus; N/C ratio is 60-80%
● Orthochromatophilic normoblast: 8-12 microns; round / ovoid cells with pink-orange uniformly staining cytoplasm, dark and opaque nucleus that may be pyknotic or in the process of being extruded, no nucleolus
● Reticulocyte: 7-10 microns; cannot identify without supravital stain (new methylene blue, brilliant cresyl blue) that colors RNA deep blue and granular; must have at least 2 granules to classify as reticulocyte; cytoplasm is red to pale blue due to RNA, no nucleus is present; larger than mature erythrocyte and lacks central pallor, passes through the bone marrow sinus wall and endothelial cells into the circulating blood where it matures
● Erythrocyte: 7-8 microns; round / ovoid biconcave disc with orange-red cytoplasm, no RNA, no nucleus; survives ~120 days in circulation

Citation: Riley, R.T., Rentz, S.S., Yoo, H.S. 2002. FUMONISIN B1 (FB1) ALTERS OUABAIN-INSENSITIVE BUT NOT OUABAIN-SENSITIVE 86RB UPTAKE IN LLC-PK1 CELLS WITHOUT ALTERING MEMBRANE PERMEABILITY. Toxicological Sciences. 66:7. Interpretive Summary: Abstract only.
Technical Abstract: FB is a fungal inhibitor of sphingolipid biosynthesis found in corn worldwide. Inhibition of the ceramide synthase causes a dramatic increase in bioactive free sphingoid bases and depletion of glycosphingolipids and sphingomyelin. Studies have shown that free sphingoid bases can modulate Na+/K+ ATPase activity and that altered glycosphingolipid expression can modulate plasma membrane permeability and function. FB also causes lipid peroxidation in rat hepatocytes and cultured cells. The purpose of this study was to determine if FB can alter membrane permeability, Na+/K+ ATPase function, or induce lipid peroxidation in LLC-PK1 cells. Altered membrane ion permeability and Na+/K+ ATPase function was assessed by comparing Rb86 (a transport analog for potassium) efflux and ouabain-sensitive and ouabain-insensitive Rb86 uptake in sub-confluent LLC-PK1 cells exposed to 20 micro-M FB (a minimally cytotoxic concentration) for 72 h. Lipid peroxidation was assessed using the thiobarbituric acid assay in cultures grown under similar conditions but in growth medium without phenol red and at 50 micro-M FB (a cytotoxic concentration). The results show that 20 micro-M FB for 72 h had no effect on Rb86 efflux from Rb86 loaded LLC-PK1 cells nor was there any increase in thiobarbituric acid substances at 50 micro-M. These findings are consistent with the conclusion that under these conditions FB had no effect on membrane permeability. There was also no significant effect on ouabain-sensitive Rb86 uptake indicating that FB had no effect on Na+/K+ ATPase function. There was however a significant inhibition in ouabain-insensitive Rb86 uptake indicating that a minimally cytotoxic but ceramide synthase inhibitory concentration of FB can modify potassium transport processes. A possible target is the ouabain-insensitive phospholipid-dependent Rb86 uptake associated with transporters such as that of the non-gastric H+/K+ ATPase.

Education institution attending
25% of people in Broadmeadows attended an educational institution in 2011.
The share of Broadmeadows's population attending educational institutions reflects the age structure of the population, as it is influenced by the number of children attending school; proximity to tertiary education, which can mean young adults leaving home to be nearer to educational facilities and; the degree to which people are seeking out educational opportunities in adulthood, especially in their late teens and early twenties.
This data is often combined with Age Structure to identify areas with significant university student populations.
Derived from the Census question:
'What type of educational institution is the person attending?'
Total population
Source: Australian Bureau of Statistics, Census of Population and Housing (opens a new window) 2006 and 2011. Compiled and presented by .id (opens a new window), the population experts.

UK makes forced marriage illegal as pursues campaign of 'British values'
By Belinda Goldsmith
LONDON (Reuters) - Forcing women, men and children into marriage was made a criminal act in Britain on Monday as the government escalated a campaign to promote "British values" of freedom and equality and combat accusations of being too lenient on extremism.
A new law made it a criminal offence to force people into marriage with a maximum jail term of seven years. It also made it a criminal act to force a British national into marriage outside the United Kingdom.
To date British courts have been able to issue civil orders to prevent people from being forced into marriage but this is the first time it has been criminalized.
The toughened stance comes as the government, which faces an election next year, confronts questions about identity in multi-cultural Britain where immigration, particularly from non-Christian societies, has shot up the political agenda to rival the economy among voters' concerns.
Only a handful of countries internationally have criminalized forced marriage, according to a British government consultation paper from 2012, including Germany, Austria, Belgium, Cyprus and Denmark, and Malta.
Home Secretary Theresa May said forced marriage was recognized in the United Kingdom as a form of violence against men and women, as domestic or child abuse, and as a serious abuse of human rights.
"Forced marriage is a tragedy for each and every victim, and its very nature means that many cases go unreported," May said in a statement, adding that Britain would hold its first summit on galvanizing action against forced marriage later this year.

Joyce Meyer Ministries declines to comment on Uganda's Anti-Homosexuality Bill 2009
In my review of information about American evangelicals in Africa, I have learned at least one thing -- writing about the US ministries that do not have a connection with Uganda might be easier than disclosing those that do. Many groups have been there, invested there and worked with those who seem most responsible for the Anti-Homosexuality Bill.This post briefly looks at one household name in Uganda – Joyce Meyer. At least I am told by some Ugandans that she is well known and a review of he … [Read more...]

However, I think it noteworthy and very positive that Alan Chambers, President at Exodus International today posted an apology to gays in Uganda.Writing on his blog, Alan begins:A recent hullabaloo over a conference in Uganda has had me thinking and praying about some things for more than a month. The conference centered on a conservative, presumably Christian, response to gay issues in that … [Read more...]
Ugandan gay group responds to recent campaign against homosexuality
What goes around comes around. In Uganda, the same kind of either-or arguments are being offered about the origins of homosexuality in order to gain political advantage. It is easy to see why same-sex attracted people would gravitate toward authorities who say their attractions are inborn. One does not need to propose a plot of cosmic proportions to understand that homosexuals in Uganda are afraid for their safety and counter the misinformation of the recent American visitors with inborn … [Read more...]
Ugandan pastor uses Richard Cohen as authority on homosexuality research
Richard Cohen's book Coming Out Straight was used as a reference to refute scientific research on causes of same-sex attraction in a March 15 workshop led by Stephen Langa of the Family Life Network. Exgaywatch is the only place that has moving pictures from the Uganda meetings. Here is exclusive video of the reference to Cohen:The Ugandan audience is very badly served by this reference. Cohen's book was published in 2000 with a 2nd edition in 2007. The 2007 edition is not really … [Read more...]

Security is a common and logical concern with banking and commerce on the Internet. CNB Online Banking utilizes the latest technology, developed to safeguard data through encryption or coding of information. This creates barriers between systems that can only be crossed with authorized passwords, and by creating safe pathways to and from each system.
Multiple layers of advanced security tools including cryptography, firewalls, and trusted operating systems are used to prevent tampering and ensure the privacy of your account information. Before gaining access to any account information, each individual is authenticated by a personal Access ID and Password.
You will personally select your own case-sensitive password that contains at least one alpha character, one numeric character, and one special character that is at least eight characters in length. This means your password should contain numbers, both upper and lower case letters, and at least one special character. Examples of special characters are the following symbols - ! @ # $ % ^ & *. No one else will be able to access your accounts, because your password is known only to you. Using a combination of numbers, upper and lower case letters, and special characters (as opposed to numbers only or letters only) provides maximum security for the protection of your individual account information.
Banks themselves, including the Federal Reserve, transmit billions of dollars electronically every day. Just imagine the security such transfers must require. And it is that type of powerful security - and the knowledge that makes it possible - that is making online banking as secure as it is convenient.


text: It seems to me that it is reasonable to assume the person you shoot is likely to die. Any lawyer could make that agument successfully in court. I believe that is why you should not shoot someone unless you are justified in killing them. If they survive - good for them ( but maybe not for you - reference the lawyer mentioned previously ). Whatever the case, semantics should ( or will ) come into play after the shooting - not before or during! I think there is really only one reason to shoot someone - otherwise we shouldn't shoot them!

Video: Bystander chucks his shoe at Ahmadinejad during Cairo visit
posted at 9:01 pm on February 5, 2013 by Erika Johnsen
Morsi may have been getting all buddy-buddy with the Iranian leader, but not everybody was so pleased with his visit:
The video, uploaded to YouTube by the Anadolu Agency, a Turkish news service, shows Ahmadinejad in a crush of people smiling and shaking hands until a bearded man comes in the frame holding a shoe high over his head. The shoe comes down twice in Ahmadinejad's direction, but too far from the Iranian leader to pose a threat.
Several men then turn on the shoe-brandishing attacker and Ahmadinejad is quickly hustled to a waiting car. Anadolu reported the man was Syrian and accused the Iranian president of "killing his brothers." Iran has supported Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in that country's ongoing, bloody civil war.

We are learning that many patients have some levels of transient hyperpigmentation following the deeper fractionated CO2 lasers
Your genetic background determines how much pigmentation you get from heat induced melanocyte activity. Those with mixed ethnic or ethnic backgrounds are most frequently pre-treated with a melanin suppressor and often afterward too.
Why does laser cause hyperpigmentation in the first place?
Melanin (pigment) production is most frequently caused by a direct response of the skin when exposed to sunlight (a tan).
The same thing can occur when the skin is inflamed from a wound or intense or repeated heat. This is referred to as post inflammatory hyperpigmentation or PIH. People get PIH from bug bites, working in a hot environment such as a commercial kitchen, from saunas, tanning booths, accidental burns and treatment procedures that are heat based - and most certainly this includes the heat from lasers.
Who is more prone to PIH?
Patients who tan quickly, are prone to dark marks after any skin trauma or are of southern hemisphere or Asian backgrounds all will have greater tendency for PIH following laser treatment. This is one reason these patients are carefully vetted as to their background and counseled as to the increased likelihood of post treatment Hyperpigmentation and the need for pre-treatment.
With proper sun protection (crucial) and some calming hydrating moisturizers, the Hyperpigmentation will eventually resolve. To hasten the resolution, a prescription level hydroquinone product can be added.
The final effects of the Fraxel Repair generally are not fully realized until about 6 months after the treatment. In the meantime keeping your skin hydrated, both with proper moisturizing and staying hydrated with fluids, will certainly lessen any roughness or dry skin wrinkles.
Fat grafts should not be affected since the fat in the skin should have been placed at such a depth the laser would not reach it. Once your skin is "over the hump" you should find that your skin tone, texture and any wrinkling are improved from your pretreatment condition.
Your treating physician can and should provide you with post treatment moisturizers and pigmentation treatment that are geared to your skin type and sensitivity.

Sound of water running in pipes
Hi! I live in a coop apartment. Six stories high. I'm on the third floor. I have been hearing water running in my bathroom, but I have no leaks. I'm on the third floor. I also hear it in the living room wall which is connected to the bathroom. The coop manager first told me it was coming from above, perhaps a toilet running. Now they say they think its below me in the 2nd floor Apt. which they say is in foreclosure. Water running down there. Could this be? I don't know whether to believe them? They can't get in because the women won't open door. Please advise.:(
If it is an apartment, and the water is not running in your unit. If you do not pay the water bill, then kick back, crack open a beer, enjoy life as the problem is anothers and not yours!!! You pay rent.....They make repairs, not your problem....
Sound of water running in pipes
I failed to mention how loud and annoying it is. Thanks anyway.:confused1:
Sorry, Thought you would grasp the humor!!!! There is nothing you can do. Crank the TV up. You have already notified them of the problem, you are unfortunately hosed!!!
It is Bad
I would double check my toilet to make sure it is not running... put some food coloring in the tank and check the bowl an hour later if no color change you are safe.
Now contact the person that has the Co-Op by laws. They should state that in the event of repairs they are allowed to enter the apartment. Her allowing it to go in disrepair is going to cost the Co-op Money and in the end could raise you monthly payment to cover the negative balance from this year. The Co-Op I am familiar with will actually have a Lock Smith come open the Door with the Police present in this type of situation

Young Immigrants Relish Changes New Policy Brought to Their Lives
Cecilio Ximeyo was looking for a job on a recent day in Soho. As he filled out an application at a shoe store, he particularly enjoyed answering one question.
"Are you legally eligible to work in the United States?" he read the question on the application out loud and smiled. "Yes, I am."
Ximeyo, 25, entered the country illegally from Mexico 12 years ago. He came forward and was granted deferred action in April. Now he can work legally without fear of deportation for two years. With work permit in hand this was the first time he was applying for a job and answering a question he once dreaded.
"I feel happy because now I don't leave it blank," he said.
Ximeyo is completing an Associate Degree at the Borough of Manhattan Community College this summer. Being able to apply for any job, he said, makes him feel confident that he has a future in the U.S.
"My plan right now is to look for a job and work, get a part time or a full-time job and then make some money and save some money for my next two years in college," he said.
Ximeyo is one of 365,237 young immigrants who got approved for deferred action so far because they satisfied the criteria. They were younger than 31 when the program was announced last June; they came to the U.S. before they turned 16; have been here for more than five years; have a high school diploma, GED, or are currently in school; and haven't been convicted of a serious crime.
But not everyone thinks hundreds of thousands of people who entered the country illegally should avoid deportation. Steven Camarota, research director at the Center for Immigration Studies, which favors limited immigration, said only Congress has the authority to make that decision.
"It's highly problematic the President can announce in advance that he's not going to enforce the law on whole categories of people," he said.
Camarota is not alone. Ten Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents filed a lawsuit in Texas arguing deferred action for childhood arrivals, also known as DACA, violates federal law. A decision is expected in the coming weeks.
The House also voted last week to end the program. The action is largely symbolic as the Democratic-controlled Senate and the President strongly oppose the amendment that was passed. It is, though, a reminder of how divisive the issue of immigration reform continues to be.
Meanwhile, some young immigrants approved for deferred action, like 21-year-old Yelky Pérez, are seeing their worlds opening. Two weeks ago she arrived to John F. Kennedy International Airport six hours early for her flight. She checked her bags and went through security.
"When I was walking down that huge aisle on JFK, just tears started coming down," Pérez said. "I was just like, I can't believe this. It's happening."
It was the first time she'd been on a plane since she was brought to the country illegally eight years ago from the Dominican Republic. Getting to San Francisco was on Perez's wish list.
"The whole experience was just awesome, amazing," she said, laughing.
Besides making it to California, Pérez is learning to drive. After graduating with high honors from Baruch College last May, she's starting to look for jobs in the nonprofit sector. And she wants to continue her graduate studies and perhaps go to law school.
"DACA has changed my life in so many different ways," she said. "I feel like I can finally at least plan my future."
Deferred action is a temporary two-year relief, which is renewable, but it doesn't lead to a green card or citizenship. The bipartisan immigration bill now on the Senate floor includes an expedited five-year pathway to citizenship for Yelky Pérez, Cecilio Ximeyo and other young immigrants like them. They'll be watching this summer to see whether it gets passed.

Banker-turned-artist displays zero gravity works
By Mike Collett-White
LONDON (Reuters) - Nasser Azam could hardly have timed his move from finance to art any better.
In 2007, he was working for Merrill Lynch and painting in his spare time, returning to the passion of his youth as a diversion from an acrimonious divorce.
Seeing economic storm clouds on the horizon, the 45-year-old decided to quit business and became a full-time artist.
He went where few artists had gone before in 2008 with an experiment to paint in weightless conditions aboard a Russian parabolic aircraft, and his show opens in London this week.
"For various personal reasons I restarted my art in 2006," the Pakistan-born painter and sculptor told Reuters.
"I like to see the break (from painting) that I had of 23 years as one where I stopped painting but was still an artist.
"I was doing the art and I was also banking, and then in 2007 the financial turmoil made it easier for me to make that decision to go full time into art."
He is off to an auspicious start. Two months ago his "Homage to Francis Bacon: Triptych I" fetched $332,500 at a contemporary art auction in New York, well above its high estimate and in spite of a marked downturn in art prices worldwide. Continued...

"For many people, Latin music means tango and bossa nova with perhaps a bit of salsa thrown in. But there is a whole other world of distinct music styles and rhythms in Latin America. Nojechowicz explores many of them in his compositions on this excellent release, on which he wrote all the tunes except one. He especially utilizes the complex dance rhythms of Argentina and Uruguay, along with the more lifting sound of Brazil – which he credits as a mayor musical influence. You can hear echoes of the dark sound of Piazolla as he sometimes weaves in and out of different rhythms in the same piece. All this is overlayed with the influence of his long residence in the US. His band, El Eco, has long been active in the jazz circuit and the thriving latin jazz scene in the northeast. Their playing on this CD is tight and assured. This is true world music at its best."
Ron Mason
"The high quotient of both jazz and exotic Latin American rhythms, performed with warmth and deep understanding, makes El Eco's Two Worlds uncommonly attractive."
Mark Holston

Morning Report: Why Minor League Playoffs Matter
Morning Report
Most of the time we say that minor league records don't matter, and that's mostly because it doesn't give you a sense of how good the farm system can be. Back in the Littlefield era, the Pirates would win league titles and have nothing to show for it down the line because they stacked the teams with older players who were too good for the level, but not good enough to be considered true prospects. That approach doesn't accomplish much. Despite that, playoffs do serve a purpose in the minors and it looks like the Pirates could come up short on playoff teams this year.
At the lower levels, the DSL and GCL Pirates have both been eliminated from the playoffs already. These levels don't matters as much for the point I'm trying to make, because no player from a team at a lower level is going...

John was born in Kearny, NJ, hometown of the 2B for the Pirates 1909 World Championship team, Dots Miller. In fact they have some of the same relatives in common, so it was only natural for him to become a lifelong Pirates fan. Before joining Pirates Prospects in July 2010, John had written numerous articles on the history of baseball while also releasing his own book and co-authoring another on the history of the game. He writes a weekly article on Pirates history for the site, has already interviewed many of the current minor leaguers with many more on the way and follows the foreign minor league teams very closely for the site.
