How about his: Lokum is a 2002 Catana owner version 431, bought brand new, sailed to Turkey, and has never the left the Med Sea her entire life. She has been used sparingly each summer by her owner, hauled every Winter, and pampered from day one. Her low engine hours and excellent condition reflect this in every respect. I have known and been privleged to be friends with her owners - an American couple who hold their hearts and minds in both countries - for several years. Lokum has been their pride and joy and they have never spared a penny to keep her in top condition. I truly doubt it would be possible to find a cleaner or better kept Catana 431 than Lokum. Please see her extensive inventory and examine carefully the pictures of her interior to get a sense of why we are so very, very pleased to have her listed at our company. If you dreamed of sailing the Med this summer here is your chance to hop onto a coveted turn-key Catana 431 owner version. Thiis yacht is managed by both Phillip Berman and Ayca Kiriiscioglu, our agent in Turkey who is prepared to assist Lokum's new owner from start to finish if they need assistance of any kind in Turkey and the surrounding region.
ALTHOUGH SHE IS JUST LISTED AS OF APRIL 17th, 2012, THE SELLER IS PREPARED TO CONSIDER SERIOUSLY ANY REASONABLE OFFER. HE HAS BOUGHT A NEW YACHT AND NO LONGER NEEDS ANOTHER! PLEASE BRING OFFERS.

2007 Best Places to Work Rankings Includes GSA
April 24, 2007
Contact: Steve Hoffman (202) 501-1231
Washington, DC – Government employees ranked the U.S. General Services Administration among the Best Places to Work for the second consecutive survey, placing it among the Top 10 agencies for the every other year rankings, the agency announced today.
"This year's survey again highlights GSA as a world-class federal organization that encourages an environment of success and growth for its employees," said GSA Administrator Lurita Doan. "One of the reasons GSA succeeds in its mission and goals is because our employees enjoy working here, doing important work for the federal government and U.S. taxpayer."
For 2007, GSA ranked eighth for overall workplace satisfaction out of 30 major departments and large agencies. The agency ranked seventh place or better in eight categories, while GSA ranked as high as third in three categories: Strategic Management, Training and Development and Work/Life Balance. GSA had one of the highest employee participation rates standing at 73.2 percent.
The rankings are provided by the Partnership for Public Service and American University's Institute for the Study of Public Policy Implementation. They measure employee satisfaction and engagement, and are based on a survey of more than 221,000 federal workers. The 2007 rankings are the third edition of this ongoing series, following the 2003 and 2005 versions.
Survey results are drawn from the Office of Personnel Management's 2006 Federal Human Capital Survey.
Rankings may be viewed at The Best Places to Work site.
Founded in 1949, GSA serves as a centralized procurement and property management agency for the federal government. GSA manages more than one-fourth of the government's total procurement dollars and influences the management of $500 billion in federal assets, including 8,300 government-owned or leased buildings and 205,000 vehicles. GSA helps preserve our past and define our future, as a steward of more than 420 historic properties, and as manager of USA.gov, the official portal to federal government information and services. GSA's mission to provide superior workplaces, expert technology solutions, acquisition services, purchasing and E-Gov travel solutions and management policies, at best value, allows federal agencies to focus on their core missions.
Did You Know? Roughly 12,000 GSA employees support over one million federal workers located in 8,300 government-owned and leased buildings nationwide.

Margaret S. Hathaway (1867-1955)
Margaret "Maggie" Smith Hathaway was born in Ottawa, Ohio on March 19, 1867 to Isaac N. Smith and Martha Adams Earick Smith. Her father was a Methodist minister and her mother had taught school. Following in her mother's footsteps, she became a teacher in 1882, when she was just 15.
The Smith family moved to Stevensville, Ravalli County, in Montana's Bitterroot Valley in 1894, when she was 27. Her father frequently traveled to Helena to serve as the legislative chaplain, something that brought Maggie Smith's attention to the political world. Women had no role in that, however, and she taught in the Helena School District until 1893, when she was elected superintendent of schools for Lewis and Clark County. She served several terms in this position, leaving it in 1911.
Throughout her time as an educator and administrator, she was a strong proponent for women's rights. In 1905, Smith wrote a report to the County School Board on the injustice of male teachers being paid more than female teachers, something that was common throughout the nation – but rarely protested. Because she, like the school board members, was elected, not appointed, she felt free to speak to the issue. Gender-based discrimination in teacher pay, however, would remain routine everywhere in the nation for decades into the future.
In 1911, at age 44, Margaret Smith married Professor Benjamin Tappan Hathaway, the Deputy State Superintendent of Public Instruction, but he died suddenly six months later. Presumably she inherited enough money that she could manage without a paying job for a while and instead of returning to education, she concentrated on reform efforts, especially the Women's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU). Many WCTU women also supported women's enfranchisement so that they could vote for local bans on alcohol, and by 1915, Margaret Hathaway was a lobbyist for the Legislative Council of Montana Women.
Montana women won full voting rights in 1914, and like Congresswoman Jeannette Rankin and State Representative Emma Ingalls, Hathaway won the very first election in which she was eligible to run. A Democrat, she was re-elected in 1918 and 1920, serving a total of three terms. She chaired the Committee on Public Morals, Charities, and Reform and rose to become the Minority Floor leader – a national first for women.
The federal 18th Amendment, which banned alcohol sales throughout the nation, passed Congress during her tenure, and she led its ratification in Montana. A delegate to the 1920 Democratic National Convention, she left the legislature to run unsuccessfully for Congress in 1922. Meanwhile she had codified state laws on children, and after her loss, the governor appointed Hathaway as Secretary of the Montana Bureau of Child Protection. She served from 1925 to 1937.
Margaret Smith Hathaway remained active in social reform and politics her entire life. She headed the Montana State Temperance Commission when she was 75 – during World War II and a decade after the repeal of the 18th Amendment, "the noble experiment" to ban alcohol. She served in this position until her death at 88.

Post subject: City of Sunfish Lake
I thought I should point out that the matter of hiding geocaches in and around Sunfish Lake (near Mendota Heights) has recently been taken up with the city council, by the owner of a cache in that area. The verdict, as it now stands, is in this log by rjr002:
The city council did not make any decisions on the placement of Geocaches in their city.
They did not condone nor condemn the activity nor did they dispute the fact that the use of public land and public roads, in their city, is within our rights.
While the outcome was, at least for now, satisfactory, I would sure hope that individual cachers would work through MNGCA in the future.
For one thing, all it takes is one individual who is ill-prepared for the discussion to ruin it for the rest of us. For another thing, I don't think it is to our benefit to have numerous cachers contacting the officials for the same sort of permission, time after time. I'm sure there are other good reasons as well, but I think those alone are sufficient.

I think this is a tricky item in general.
For another thing, I don't think it is to our benefit to have numerous cachers contacting the officials for the same sort of permission, time after time.
Part of the key is that people need adequate permission to hide. What's adequate to one may not be to the next, so eventually you end up with an official being contacted in most locations (over time) as the more cautious cachers will seek out the proper official (which is good I think).
It may be helpful to try and inventory what sort of permission has been granted for different locations to avoid people duplicating the requests (and just annoying the otherwise nice official).
People also need the ability to seek the permission in the first place without going through the MnGCA, which I personally think is fine, but they should (as you point out) quickly bring it to the attention of the MnGCA if their request isn't rubber-stamped. The organization (and particularly the board) has experience with working with park districts. The end results may not be ideal, but I'd like to think that they're the best that we can obtain under the circumstances.

Of course let's face it a very big factor is the cacher has to actually know the MnGCA exists and know where to find us. I would guess we are not known by a large percentage of people who log onto geocaching.com and then decide they want to hide a cache in the state of Minnesota. And before an argument of what "large" is, I'll just say anything over 20% of the general caching population is large, just to throw a number out there. That's just life, I don't think you'll ever get 100% participation, maybe they don't want to have to go to a second website, maybe they think since it is not directly on gc.com that it is not an "official" source of information, there are about as many reasons for coming on here or not coming on here as there are cachers, and yes there will be times that a governing body is approached by an individual not because they think they're better, or out of spite or anything like that, it is just they probably haven't found us yet.

view is to contact the city, but then share your experiences with the MnGCA. If it's a rubber-stamp 'yes', then start a thread in the Park Relations forum (this forum). If it's anything other than a rubber-stamp yes (even if it's a yes, but you get the indication that they are going to dig deeper into the topic), then I'd contact the MnGCA board and let them know what you've done, who you've spoken to, and where things are at. The easiest way is to contact them here:
I believe in these types of situations that you can never share enough information.

Trade recap: Prospects on the move
Tigers send top prospect Turner to Miami; Yanks deal Mitchell
By Danny Wild / MLB.com | July 23, 2012 5:13 PM ET
The Tigers' former top prospect Jacob Turner was one of several notable Minor Leaguers traded Monday in a series of deals made a week before Major League Baseball's July 31 trading deadline.
Shortly after the Tigers shipped Turner in a deal for Anibal Sanchez and Omar Infante, the Yankees stepped in and sent Triple-A right-handers D.J. Mitchell and Danny Farquhar to Seattle in exchange for outfielder Ichiro Suzuki and cash.
Earlier Monday, the Braves and Cubs reportedly agreed to a deal that would send righty Randall Delgado to Chicago for veteran Ryan Dempster, but that move is pending Dempster's approval.
The moves come two days after Houston acquired a pair of prospects from the White Sox for closer Brett Myers.
Turner, ranked by MLB.com as the No. 10 prospect in baseball, was dealt to Miami along with fellow prospects Rob Brantly and Brian Flynn in exchange for Sanchez and veteran second baseman Infante.
Turner, 21, was the No. 9 overall pick in the 2009 Draft and was considered the Tigers' No. 1 prospect this year. He was 5-4 with a 2.77 ERA in 14 starts this season in the Minors while going 1-1 with a 8.03 ERA in three outings in the Majors with Detroit.
The 6-foot-5 righty also pitched in three big league games last season while going 4-5 with a 3.44 ERA in 20 games for Triple-A Toledo and Double-A Erie. He was both an Eastern League and Futures Game All-Star last year, his second full season in the Minors.
Brantly, Detroit's third-round pick in 2010, was a MiLB.com Tigers Organization All-Star last year after hitting .274 with 10 homers, 62 RBIs and 22 doubles in 114 games between Class A West Michigan and Class A Advanced Lakeland. The 23-year-old catcher hit .311 in 46 games at Double-A this year, but was batting .254 in 36 games at Triple-A at the time of the deal.
Flynn, a 22-year-old lefty, was promoted to Double-A Erie last week following the best start of his career with Lakeland on July 16, when he threw seven shutout frames. The 2011 seventh-round pick is 8-5 with a 3.95 ERA in 19 outings at two levels this year.
MLB.com's Jonathan Mayo takes a deeper look into the trio:
- Jacob Turner, RHP: The key to the deal, Turner was No. 10 on MLB's Top 100 Prospects list and No. 1 on the Tigers' Top 20 at the time of the trade. He's made a total of six big league starts, with mixed results, but he still has the stuff and size of a future frontline starter. Still only 21, he was slowed this year by shoulder problems. He has a plus sinking fastball he can throw into the mid-90s that gets many a groundball out. His secondary stuff -- a curve and changeup -- is behind the heater, but it has improved. He has a good feel for pitching, especially for his age.
- Rob Brantly, C: A 2012 Futures Gamer, Brantly was ranked No. 15 on the Tigers' Top 20 at the time of the trade. He's an offensive-minded catcher who makes contact, hits for average and doesn't strike out much. He hasn't shown much in the way of home run power. His defense continues to improve and he does a good job of controlling the running game. He still has the chance to be an every day catcher in the big leagues.
- Brian Flynn, LHP: The seventh rounder in 2011 out of Wichita State has reached Double-A in his first full season. A big lefty, at 6-foot-8, he has a plus fastball that reaches the mid-90s. He complements it with a hard slider and a slower curve. His changeup is a work in progress. He has some upside and could develop into a middle-of-a-rotation type in the future.
In a surprising trade, the Mariners sent their beloved veteran right fielder and cash to New York for a pair of Minor League right-handers.
Mitchell, 25, has spent most of the season with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, going 6-4 with a 5.04 ERA in 15 games in the Minors. He also made four appearances in the Majors, posting a 3.86 ERA. He would be the third player from Scranton/Wilkes-Barre's 2011 roster to play for Seattle this season, joining Hector Noesi and Jesus Montero, who were traded to Seattle over the winter.
Mitchell posted a strong season in 2011, going 13-9 with a 3.18 ERA in 28 outings at Triple-A after winning 13 and 12 games the previous two seasons.
Farquhar, 25, joins his fourth organization in four months after splitting time in the Minors this summer with the Blue Jays, A's and Yankees. He has combined to go 2-3 with a 3.33 ERA and five saves in 32 games for Double-A New Hampshire (Toronto), Triple-A Sacramento (Oakland), Double-A Trenton (New York) and Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. The Florida native was originally drafted by the Jays and led the Toronto system with 22 saves in 2009.
Ichiro, with 2,533 career Major League hits in 12 seasons with the Mariners, said Monday that he'd requested to be traded to a contending team. He joins an the first-place Yankees, who recently learned they would be without Opening Day left fielder Brett Gardner until next season.
The Chicago Cubs reportedly agreed to trade veteran right-hander Ryan Dempster to the Braves on Monday in a deal that would send 22-year-old right-handed prospect Randall Delgado to Chicago should the deal get finalized.
Delgado, 22, was 4-9 with a 4.42 ERA in 17 starts for Atlanta this season before being optioned back to Triple-A Gwinnett last week. His made his first Minor League start this season on July 16, when he allowed six runs in five innings in a loss at Indianapolis.
Dempster, 35, has been a steady option for Chicago for several years and became one of Atlanta's targets this summer as he owns a Major League-leading 2.11 ERA in 15 starts. Since 2008, Dempster has posted a 3.63 ERA in 147 starts.
Dempster initially denied the trade via Twitter and declined to comment upon reaching PNC Park on Monday before Chicago's game.
Delgado, while no longer listed among the Braves' top prospects due to his service time in the Majors this season, entered 2012 as MLB.com's No. 36-ranked prospect after going 7-7 with a 3.88 ERA in 25 Minor League games in 2011; he also started seven games for Atlanta last summer, going 1-1 with a 2.83 ERA in 35 innings.
The Panama native signed with the Braves as a free agent in 2006 and has spent time at every level in Atlanta's system.
Dempster would boost a Braves rotation that has posted the third-worst ERA (4.34) in the National League this season.
Monday's deals come two days after Houston acquired Minor League right-handed pitcher Matt Heidenreich, left-hander Blair Walters and a player to be named later plus cash for reliever Brett Myers. The Astros also announced Saturday they had claimed righty Mark Hamburger off waivers from the Padres. Hamburger, 25, was assigned to Triple-A Oklahoma City.
Heidenreich, 21, was 9-4 with a 3.95 ERA in 18 starts for Class A Advanced Winston-Salem and Double-A Birmingham. He was the White Sox's fourth-round pick in 2009 Draft and went 25-17 with a 3.87 ERA in 75 appearances (56 starts) in four Minor League seasons for Chicago.
Walters, 22, went 4-6 with a 3.96 ERA in 18 outings with Class A Kannapolis and Winston-Salem. He was Chicago's 11th-round pick last year and went 13-6 with a 3.99 ERA in 32 appearances before the trade.

My Turn: A 'yes' vote for Measure J is a vote for economics, tourism and quality of life
September 27, 2012
TRUCKEE, Calif. — It is extremely unfortunate Tahoe Forest Hospital District announced a tax increase to all of North Tahoe and Truckee in the midst of the Measure J effort to improve our tourism, quality of life and recreation. I seriously question why our press and certain citizenry correlate TFHD's problem with Measure J. The question is fair; the correlation is clearly not.I take issue with numerous letters to the editor, and in particular Margaret Moran's Measure J article in the Sept. 25 Sierra Sun, where she opens the article about TFHD's raised tax assessment and the subsequent lack of "confidence" attack on Measure J financing. I suggest a better article can be written to educate everyone regarding how bonds work, how TFHD got into their tax pickle and how tax payments will look given future tax assessment changes. There is zero relationship between the shocking TFHD tax announcement and the Measure J effort.For some, what is a bond measure? Typically they are named General Obligation Bonds and are essentially variable interest loans used to construct infrastructure. They are backed by tax assessments. When property owner values goes up, the tax revenues (via assessment) go up. When values go down, the tax revenues go down. The Hospital District used an 8 percent annual property tax inflator as part of their 30-year tax forecasting. And when recent tax assessments and revenues went negative starting in 2008, TFHD was caught with a large note to pay with less money to satisfy the debt.The Recreation District is a world apart from the Hospital District. First, the Truckee-Donner Recreation & Parks District has used a 65 percent lower assessed property forecast and they are not doing the forecasting at the top of an economic bubble.Second, TDRPD commissioned three voter surveys to understand facility and recreation needs. Results were compelling: nearly all results showed the majority of voters wanted both better performing arts and aquatics. TDRPD would not have put Measure J on the ballot without a request by the public voters, and to this end, TDPRD listened, planned and responded to the citizenry majority in favor of both facilities.Third, over the last four years, TDRPD has significantly reduced the operating size and cost of both the Aquatic Center and Performing Arts Center. The starting facilities totaled $39.2 million where as today we are at $14.2 million — a reduction of $25 million. I can say with confidence these facilities are affordable, effective, efficient and manageable. Best of all, TDRPD is committing $7 million in savings banked from the strong financial management of the TDRPD Community Center project to defray the cost resulting in an even lower tax rate.Last and most important are the monumental community and economic benefits. For every $1 taxed, we generate $4.70 in additional Truckee economic benefit. A wonderful return and it does not even include the $14+ million in actual construction expenditures which will start next year.It is a clear fact that Measure J will strengthen quality of life, recreation, construction and tourism. I argue that all of us will benefit in one fashion or another. Some benefits are tangible, some are not; however, the bottom line is we can make Truckee an even better home. I believe we may never have this opportunity again given the positive timing and excess funds.Avoid the "Sky is Falling" argument and please join me along with hundreds of others in voting YES on Measure J.Kevin C. Murphy is a Truckee resident and a member of the Truckee-Donner Recreation & Park District board of directors.

Due West, S.C. - The No. 21 Erskine College Flying Fleet scored multiple runs in four consecutive innings Tuesday afternoon to win 16-5 at Grier Field. A six-run fifth inning was Erskine's best frame of the day.
Freshman Pitcher Heath Gray started and gave the Flying Fleet (5-3) four innings of work, allowing four hits, five runs, and three earned runs. He struck out one and walked three. Jacob White made his second consecutive start for the Tornados (0-2, 0-0 SAC), pitching two innings and allowing three runs, all earned, on three hits. He struck out two and walked two. White also picked off John Bolding with one out in the second.
Third Baseman Drew Willingham and Shortstop Chase Anthony each homered for Erskine. Willingham hit a three-run blast with two out in the bottom of the second. He finished with two hits, three RBI, and scored three runs. Anthony hit a two-run homer in the Erskine half of the third and went 4-5 with four RBI and three runs scored.
The Tornados scored two runs in the top of the third. M.A. Dozier led off the frame with a walk. Matt Ennis singled and Eric Renegar reached on an error by Willingham, allowing Dozier to score. Matthew Pruitt grounded out to second, driving in Ennis.
The Flying Fleet scored four runs in their half of the fourth inning. The Tornados added three of their own in the top of the fifth. A Dozier leadoff double followed by an Ennis walk and a Renegar single loaded the bases for Second Baseman Kramer Clark with no one out. Clark delivered a two-RBI single to right field. Stephen Mullis followed with a base hit to drive in Renegar.
Erskine broke the game open with a six-run fifth inning. Center fielder Greg Huff laced a two-run double down the left field line. Anthony followed with an RBI single, and first baseman John Bolding tacked on another two-run double off of Tornado hurler Tommy Yearty.
Neither team scored the rest of the way.
Erskine returns to action February 19 for a two-day, three game series against Limestone at Grier Field.
The Tornados welcome South Atlantic Conference Rival Mars Hill to Gil Coan Field for a 2 p.m. first pitch Friday February 19. The teams will play a double header the following day starting at noon.

Full-term/extended breastfeeding and fertility
I've got a friend whose fertility did not return for a long time after her first, because of full-term/extended breastfeeding (she was tested and it wasn't from any other cause). She waited and eventually her fertility returned within a couple of years, which she was happy about as she was keen for baby #2, but I'm wondering what others have done in regards to full term breastfeeding and waiting to return to fertility, and not being able to? Did you cut down on feeds? Did you wean? Or did you just hold on, trusting the nature knows what it's doing? I've never been in this position myself but sometimes I wonder if I will be at some stage down the track.

While for most women their cycle seems to return around 6 to 12 months when they are breastfeeding I've known quite a number of women whose cycles do not return until they had stop feeding their babies. This is natures way of natural family planning - but doesn't always marry up with a couples wishes for spacing of their babies. There has been some discussion on this very issue on this forum under the thread "When did you cycle return?". I personally can't comment - even though I exclusively breastfed my three babies until 7 plus months - my cycle returned 3 months with my first baby, 4.5 months with my second baby and 7 months with my third baby.

Veteran Journalists Blast Pinkerton And Fox Over Bachmann Book Deal Secrecy
Journalism veterans and media ethicists are criticizing Fox News and commentator Jim Pinkerton for failing to disclose that Pinkerton was being paid to partner with Michele Bachmann on her book while regularly speaking about the presidential campaign on Fox.
Among the critics is Fox News contributor Marvin Kalb.
"I believe in transparency and if Jim Pinkerton was talking about [Bachmann's] campaign on Fox News as a Fox News contributor it should have been pointed out to viewers that he was part of this campaign," said Kalb, former host of NBC's Meet the Press and a 30-year television news veteran. "I don't understand why this had to be a secret connection."
The reaction follows the disclosure [1] -- first reported [2] by Politico's Ben Smith -- that Pinkerton spent June, July and August 2011 as a paid collaborator on a book with Bachmann. Pinkerton did not tell Fox viewers about his role in the book while regularly appearing on Fox News Watch.
Pinkerton told Media Matters that his Fox News "superiors" knew of his secret arrangement and approved of it. He declined to name the superiors.
Pinkerton also said he had "zero regrets" about keeping his part in the book secret from Fox viewers, saying he always disclosed that his wife, a former Bachmann campaign chief of staff, was working for Bachmann.
David Zurawik, media critic for The Baltimore Sun, finds hypocrisy in Pinkerton being secretive while appearing on Fox News Watch, a media criticism program.
"All the dishonesty is multiplied by him doing this on a media review show," Zurawik said. "First of all, a media review show is the last place a guy who tries to shade his conflicts of interest this way and keep necessary information from viewers should be. And if Fox News knew, it tells you what management there thinks of telling the truth on such shows."
He later stated: "If Fox knew and did allow this, it gives lie to all of their P.R. about how unfair it is to call them biased. They can trot Bret Baier out all they want, but if they allow this kind of dishonest behavior, they are not an honest news operation that citizens should trust."
Bill Kovach, founder of the Committee of Concerned Journalists and former New York Times Washington, D.C., bureau chief, called the actions "deceitful."
"Both Pinkerton and Fox withheld deeply relevant information from their audience," he said in an email. "It was deceitful. Such self-interested information undermines any claim either to journalism, the interest of their viewers as citizens or the larger public interest."
Tom Fiedler, former Miami Herald editor and currently dean of the College of Communication at Boston University, went one step further.
"I would like to know who Pinkerton's 'superiors' are at Fox who were aware of this conflict and were apparently untroubled by his failure to disclose it to the Fox audience," Fiedler said. "They should be fired."
Fox News has yet to respond to requests for comment.
"Fox News has failed Journalism Ethics 101," said Alex S. Jones, director of the Shorenstein Center on Press, Politics and Public Policy at Harvard University. "This is a transparent breach of the most fundamental journalism ethics. I think it is outrageous that they would have allowed this."
Pam Fine, a former managing editor of The Indianapolis Star and currently a journalism professor at the University of Kansas, also commented on the transparency problem.
"My presumption is that Fox viewers would want to know whether commentators have a financial or other significant relationship with any candidate and that the right thing for the commentator to do is disclose," Fine said via email.
Former National Public Radio Ombudsman Alicia Shepard, also a veteran journalist and author, stated:
"I've always liked Jim Pinkerton, but I disagree with him. This is the age of transparency. We can't pick and choose what we want to disclose and what we think we should disclose. As journalists and/or commentators, we owe it to our audience to let them know about any conflicts of interest. You can't work on a book and not have a conflict of interest."
For Marty Steffens, business journalism professor at the University of Missouri School of Journalism and former San Francisco Examiner editor, the lack of openness is "short-sighted."
"Networks have always been very, very good about disclosing," she said. "So the hiding is short-sighted and it gives fodder to people who say Fox has an agenda."

text: I think Weight Watchers is making a huge mistake by not trying harder to get Jennifer Hudson back on board. The two have parted ways with Jennifer saying she is moving on to other things. Whether she has come up with her own line of products she wants to sell or just couldn't agree on money with the company or if the company just wants Jessica Simpson and nobody else, I think this is a mistake for everyone. Yes, Jessica Simpson looks great in her ads but the world gets tired of having Jessica Simpson force fed to us. We like Jessica in small doses. We love her in small doses. We get really tired of her really quickly when she is always on and her commercials are always on. I think Weight Watchers really came into its own when they transformed Jennifer Hudson. It was Jennifer losing all that weight and winning the Academy Award and they all timed together perfectly and Jennifer is considered a "regular" person because she started off on Idol. She is someone who made it big on her own by sheer talent. She struggled with weight as a real person and used the product and ideas to lose weight and then succeeded. I think that is a great story. When I see Jessica I see someone who lost weight for a paycheck. She looks great, but she did it for the money.

Human brains wired for language, according to a report in ScienceNOW 24 March 2008. Communicating with complex speech language is unique to humans, and it has long been known that human brains have specialised regions in the frontal and temporal lobes that are used for speech production and the understanding of language. Scientists who study how the brain uses language have also found that these areas must also be connected to one another for effective language skills.
Anthropologists at Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia used a new brain scanning technique to trace the bundles of nerve fibres within the brain, showing where the internal connections are made. They compared the brains of humans, chimps and macaque monkeys and found "dramatic differences" between the human brains and primate brains. In human brains there are large extensive connections between the speech production region in the frontal lobe (known as Broca's area) and the language understanding region (known as Wernicke's area) in the temporal lobe. In chimps they found only limited connections between the corresponding regions of their brains, and hardly any connections in the macaques. The researchers concluded that the evolution of speech involved the re-wiring of the brain to make the connections between Broca's and Wernicke's areas. Kuniyoshi Sakai, a language researcher at the University of Tokyo in Japan commented that the brain scan study demonstrates "the uniqueness of the human brain, because it has been widely assumed that the basic brain structures are essentially similar between humans and apes."
Editorial Comment: In spite of numerous efforts to find similarities between ape and human brains, specific studies, like the one described here, keep finding differences. Speech language is unique to humans so it is not surprising that human brains have specialised structures that do not exist in animals. This is exactly what you would expect to find given human beings were unique creations, designed as the image of the Speaking God as described in Genesis 1. The idea that an extensive, complex system of nerve fibre connections would come about by chance random processes is as foolish as the idea that the cables of a computer network would grow and connect themselves to the right computers all by themselves.

Historical Perspectives
Israel, Palestine and the anti-Semitism of the Left (TELEGRAPH UK) By Allan Massie / Blog 03/30/12)
Source: http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/culture/allanmassie/100062019/israel-palestine-and-the-anti-semitism-of-the-left/
DAILY TELEGRAPH Articles-Index-Top
Allan Massie is a Scottish writer who has published nearly 30 books, including a sequence of novels set in ancient Rome. His non-fiction works range from a study of Byron´s travels to a celebration of Scottish rugby. He has been a political columnist for The Scotsman, The Sunday Times and The Daily Telegraph and writes a literary column for The Spectator.
Nick Cohen has a characteristically good article on anti-Semitism of the Left in the April edition of Standpoint. The argument he advances is a fair one. Anti-Semitism has been found across the political spectrum. In Britain the anti-Semitism of the Left was often directed at bankers and financiers. This was the anti-Semitism of Belloc and Chesterton.
But there was also an anti-Semitism of the generally decent liberal elite. In the introduction to Harold Nicolsons Diaries and Letters (utterly addictive I go back to them time and again), his son Nigel, wrote that his father knew that he belonged to an elite, an elite more of intelligence and achievement than of birth, and he tended to feel that people outside that elite had something wrong with them: Business-men, for example, the humbler type of schoolmaster or clergyman, most women, actors, most Americans, Jews, all coloured or Levantine peoples, and the great mass of the middle and working classes."
This is a splendid array of prejudices, which I guess most people today will find shocking. Nigel Nicolson might have added the Tory Party to that list, for Harold detested it even though many of his friends and his beloved wife Vita Sackville-West were Tories. He entered Parliament as a member of Ramsay MacDonalds tiny National Labour Party, and after the war contested a by-election in Croydon as the Labour candidate despite his feeling that "the great mass of the middle and working classes had something wrong with them". Who ever thought people were simple?
As to the Jews, here is a Diary entry (11 July, 1930): We go on afterwards to the Woolfs. Hugh Dalton is there. I attack the nomination board at the Foreign Office Nicolson had recently resigned from the FO not on the grounds that it rejects good men, but on the grounds that its very existence prevents good men from coming up for fear that they may be ploughed for social reasons. The awkward question of the Jews arises. I admit that is the snag. Jews are far more interested in international life than are Englishmen, and if we opened the service it might be flooded with clever Jews. It was a little difficult to argue this point frankly with Leonard there Leonard Woolf, husband of Virginia, being himself Jewish.
This is a very English anti-Semitism: lets keep the Jews out because they are too clever. Harold Nicolsons anti-Semitism was of the mild milk-and-water type. He had a flirtation with Sir Oswald Mosley in, it should be said, Mosleys New Party days before he came out as a Fascist and indulged in his own opportunistic anti-Semitism.
Nevertheless Nicolson was uncompromisingly anti-Nazi and a consistent critic of Neville Chamberlains appeasement policy. Whatever his own distaste for Jews, he was disgusted, long before the opening of the Death Camps, by the discrimination, humiliations and persecution they suffered at the hands of the Nazis. Indignation was stronger than his prejudices.
Today the anti-Semitism of the Left takes the form of hostility to Israel or, if you prefer, of anti-Zionism. Nick Cohen generously admits that there is some justification for this: Those who say that the bias of much leftist protest is a reason to exonerate Israel miss the point that injustice in Palestine is still injustice, anti- Semitism plays a part in Israel-hating but many who defend the rights of Palestinians are not fanatics They oppose Israeli policy because contrary to the Balfour Declaration it impinges on the civil rights of non-Jewish communities. Early in his essay he quotes the key sentence of that Declaration from the British Foreign Secretary: that the Empire would allow the Jewish people to find a home in
Palestine, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non- Jewish communities.
However well-intentioned some think it was cynical the Balfour Declaration led to difficulties. Promises to Jews were incompatible with promises to Arabs, and so, almost a hundred years later, supporting the State of Israel contra mundum, and the policies of successive Israeli governments makes justice for the Palestinians impossible. Yet supporting the Palestinian cause may threaten the very existence of Israel.
Is it possible to reject and deplore anti-Semitism while also deploring the policies of the Israeli state? Yes, of course it is, difficult though it may be to hold this line. For one thing, you may believe that the aggressive intransigence of Benjamin Netanyahu is not in the long-term interest of Israel; that Israel cannot survive forever embattled. For another, a great many Israelis think this too.
As Cohen writes, there is a workable solution: Most Israelis and most Palestinians favour a compromise, which includes a fair distribution of land, an end to violence, and security essentially dividing the country on 1967 lines. But: Compromise is as much an anathema to the far Left and the Islamists as it is to the Israeli and American Right. Increasingly, it is anathema to the liberal Left too.
Harold Nicolson in the 1930s could dislike Jews and yet condemn the Nazi persecutions. Someone who still regards himself as a friend of Israel can nevertheless condemn Israeli treatment of Palestinians in the West Bank, and argue that it is not only morally wrong, but will prove self-defeating. Israel needs a statesman with the vision of F W de Klerk, who dismantled apartheid, and, in doing so, secured the future of white South Africans.(© Copyright of Telegraph Media Group Limited 2012. 03/30/12)

A pro-gun rally with a heavy dose of politics at the plaza
Photo courtesy 810 & 103.1 WGY's Read Shepherd
As Governor Cuomo signed this year's budget into law, several thousand people gathered at the south end of the Empire State Plaza to call for the repeal of his most controversial measure from a year ago - the SAFE Act.
Tuesday's rally was part 2nd Amendment patriotism and part politics. Special guest speaker Donald Trump was introduced as "New York's next governor" by former GOP gubernatorial candidate Carl Paladino. Trump has said he will not run though he sounded like a candidate saying the state is in deep trouble.
Current Republican candidate Rob Astorino also spoke at the rally. He says "we can beat Cuomo". Astorino has promised to seek the repeal of the SAFE Act if elected. Polls show him well behind the Governor.
Inside the Capitol, meanwhile, supporters of the SAFE Act say it has made a difference. NYAGV (New Yorkers Against Gun Violence) held a counter protest as the pro-2nd amendment rally was underway at the plaza.
When asked about the rallies, Cuomo says gun control is an issue that stirs strong feelings on both sides.

How to Tie and Wear a Womans Scarf Many Fashionable Ways
When it comes to accessorizing that special outfit, the scarf is the one item you want to have in your wardrobe. The scarf is the perfect accessory as it can add pizzaz to any outfit from the perfect little black dress to a business suit or your favorite T-shirt and jeans outfit. The scarf can add a sensational look making even the plainest outfit into a fabulous fashion hit.
Scarves Can be Worn Many Places on the Body Besides Your Neck
There are numerous ways to wear a silk scarf, making it a very versatile accessory. Wear it around your neck, tied, knotted or draped. Wear a scarf around head to keep your hair in place or around your waist as a belt. Wear a large scarf around your shoulders as a shawl.If you really feel like "tying one on" try tying a silk scarf around your hips. Just by tying a scarf around your hips, like a scarf belt, you can make your waist look smaller. You can achieve this look very easily by folding a long oblong scarf into the desired width, draping it around your hips and positioning it as a sash. Adjust it as you like. Let it hang down asymmetrically drawing the eye downward to produce a smaller looking waist
How to Tie a Silk Scarf Around Your Neck
Of course, the traditional way to wear a silk scarf is around the neck. A fashion statement can be made by tying your scarf in creative ways. Try tying a long silk scarf can be knotted in front and hang straight down. Use a crystal brooch, ring or scarf pin that is all the rage now to hold your scarf in the front. The scarf clips are great to use. If you don't have a scarf pin or brooch, try wearing that long silk scarf in the the style by holding it across the front of our neck and then bringing one end around to fall done your right front side and then bring other end around your neck to fall down your left front side. This is a great way to wear those special hand painted silk scarves that are so light and airy now days. They are great for summer and spring. Another way to wear the long silk scarf is just drape it around your neck and shoulders and then let it hang down dramatically in front.
These beautiful silk scarves are my hand painted art work, with franch ink and elegant Chinese 100% pure silk, for more pictures and information about them, pls check with my website:

Despite his status as a musical superstar at the time, very little is known about the creation of Beethoven's final concerto, composed in 1809 and the only one of his piano concertos that he did not play himself; his deafness was too limiting by that time for public performance. How it got its nickname is only one of the unknowns, but it is hard to miss the noble grandeur of its musical ideas.

Descent, Scene #04
- : 01/01/2007 |
- : 17:21 min |
- : 1675
Scene Info
Next up is an outdoor scene, in which the beautiful Nick Moore tends to the cock of ruggedly handsome Mark Mason, taking Mason's cock down his throat over and over again as his saliva builds up in his mouth. Mason then shows his own talent for cocksucking, chowing down on Moore's sizeable tool like he was born to do it. The two men trade off cocksucking again before Mason bends Moore over a concrete divider and slams his cock up inside the willing submissive's hole. For his part, Moore just clenches his teeth and takes it, his eyes winced into a look of pleasure mixed with glorious pain. Then Mason lies on his back while Moore licks his balls and gets a hot load on his face. Mmmm, dinner!

RANCHO CUCAMONGA - Sacred Heart Catholic Church has decided to move the proposed location of a cellphone tower to the northern part of its parking lot after parents opposed placing it on school grounds.
Sacred Heart parents have complained they were not notified of the project until after permits had been approved and they feared that children could be harmed by radiation from the tower.
Diocese of San Bernardino officials maintain the cell tower would not harm anyone, and the decision to move the proposed location was in part an effort to defuse community opposition to the project, Diocese spokesman John Andrews said.
"This does not mean we've changed our position on health impacts," Andrews said.
"What it means is that the leadership of the parish obviously felt they needed to be responsive to their people and if there's a way to alleviate that, then that issue should be pursued. In the last year, the school also started to develop plans for expansion and developed a footprint for where the school might expand. The original location of the tower is where they might want to expand the school."
Chito Alcantara expressed opposition to the original location of the tower near the school at 12704 Foothill Blvd.
"If it's far away from the school, compared to the original part of the school they wanted to put it, it should be good progress for us parents," Alcantara said.
"At least, they're doing something."
An earlier, unapproved plan would have placed the tower in the northernmost tip of the property above the parking lot and north of school grounds.
City requirements led the church to decide to move the tower to its present proposed location, Andrews said.
The setback requirements are related more to the city's aesthetic policy direction - not to radiation levels, said Tabe Van der Zwaag, a city planner who was involved in the process related to the tower project.
The requirements may be superseded if the project applicant "proves there is not a better location that meets coverage requirements" and that the tower is able to serve more than one provider, Van der Zwaag said.
Andrews said radiation emission from the tower is projected to be one-tenth of the level permitted by the Federal Communications Commission.
Some said they would consider removing their children from the school if the parish moved forward with the tower project at the originally approved location on the school grounds.

A couple of weeks ago, Salt Lake Police Chief Chris Burbank and I were discussing his intention of putting cameras on his cops. A few of the officers already have them.
The chief said the cameras were starting to pay off, especially in the area of citizens' complaints about officers. He cited the example of a furious woman who called about a speeding ticket.
When the woman finished her list of accusations, Burbank explained the entire traffic stop had been captured on the officer's camera. Did she want to come to the station and watch it?
"Never mind," she snarled and hung up.
The cameras work both ways. In addition to recording the behavior of citizens, they also record the officers' actions.
I probably would have gotten fired as a cop had I worn a body camera. While I was talking with the chief, an incident replayed in my brain camera.
In the early days of my police career, I was one of several hundred officers sent to quell a riot. A rock concert had gone bad and thousands of people were trashing the place.
We formed ranks between the mob and the bandstand. That's when some people in the mob started throwing rocks. Several officers in the line near me were hit.
Eventually, it was my turn. In rapid succession I was hit in the shoulder, chest and leg. I fell out of the ranks and went to the rear to recover. That's when I noticed where the rocks were coming from.
Way in the back of the mob was this guy who was really throwing. Hairy, out-of-control and drunk, he still had an arm on him. I watched him pitch rocks, pieces of brick and even part of a picnic table at us.
Annoyed and bored two very dangerous conditions for me I picked up a rock about the size of a golf ball. Nice heft. Good ballistic qualities. Winding up, I let fly without much hope.
The guy probably thought he'd been hit by a meteorite. The rock hurtled in out of the dark and drilled him right between the horns. Sparks shot out of his ears. He went down hard and stayed there for the rest of the party.
Oh, it didn't kill him. In fact, I later saw him being helped to a car by a couple of his rock-throwing friends. He was bloody and dizzy, just like some of my coworkers. Thirty years later I hope he still has a hard time synchronizing his blinks.
As a police officer, I am officially not proud of that moment. It was wrong. However, on a personal level I got to tell you that it was enormously satisfying and it still makes me smile.
Fortunately, body cameras hadn't been invented yet. Two things would have happened if I had been wearing one. I would have been severely disciplined or even fired when my supervisors saw the images of my very unprofessional conduct.
Also, the video would have eventually found its way onto YouTube where the guy would have racked up another 5 million hits from people who enjoy seeing dumb asses get what they have coming.
Much as a body camera would have worked against me back then, I still think they're a good idea. Cameras may not be the final arbiter in a situation, but they're a hell of a lot better than he said, she said.
We should all wear one. Everyone might have their own opinion about what happened, but everyone can't have their own set of camera facts.

Women's Tennis Announces Signing
Liberty women's tennis head coach Chris Johnson has announced the signing of Valerie Thong to a national letter of intent. The current high school senior signed during the November early signing period and will enroll at Liberty for the 2012-13 academic year.
"We are absolutely thrilled that Valerie has chosen Liberty," expressed Johnson. "She has a long list of accomplishments in junior tennis and will make an immediate impact in our lineup."
Hailing from Alhambra, Calif., Thong's most heralded achievements come in doubles play. In early December, Thong capped off her partnership with Campbell Hall teammate Zoe Katz, as the duo recorded their third consecutive California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) Southern Section doubles title. With the victory, they became the first doubles team to win three consecutive Southern Section double titles, while dropping a total of three sets in their partnership over three years.
The duo's 2010 title helped Campbell Hall become just the second Southern Section girls' tennis team to win the singles, doubles and team championships in the same year, leading to the team's honor as the All-Area Team of the Year, named by the L.A. Daily News. Thong also helped Campbell Hall win the team championship in 2009.
According to tennisrecruiting.net, Thong currently holds a No. 45 ranking in the state of California.
Thong will join a still youthful, but very experienced team for 2013. Last season, the Lady Flames tied program-best marks of 16-5 overall and 6-1 in Big South conference play, thanks in part to four freshmen posting double-digit singles victories on the year. The 6-1 conference mark led to the program's first share of a regular season Big South title. After advancing to the semifinals of the Big South Women's Tennis Championships, the team ended the season ranked No. 10 in the ITA Atlantic Region, also a first for the program.
Johnson's previous two recruiting classes have received honorable mention from TennisRecruiting.net's Top-25 Mid-Major recruiting class listings.
The Lady Flames' 2011 campaign begins on Jan. 27, when they face Georgetown at the Greenbrier Resort in White Sulphur Springs, W. Va.

Country star Ray Price not dead
Listen to Ray Price on iHeartRadio
Ray Price hasn't died. Reports that the Country Music Hall of Famer had passed away surfaced Sunday, but the singer's wife Janie Price tells "Rolling Stone" that Ray is "still with us."
She explains that Ray's son inadvertently issued a statement about his father's death prematurely.
Price is battling pancreatic cancer, and is in the final stages of the disease, which has spread to other organs. He had been hospitalized earlier this month, but left last week to spend his final days with his family at his Texas ranch.

text: Working Paper | HBS Working Paper Series | 2014 Principals and Their Car Dealers: What Do Targets Tell About Their Relation? Jan Bouwens, Eddy Cardinaels and Jingwen Zhang In this study we describe target setting and target achievements for a car dealership. Car dealers are eligible for a discount on the purchase price conditional on their achieving the sales targets set by the franchisor. We show that car dealers (franchisees) who exclusively deal in cars of the brand offered by the franchisor receive easier targets and are more likely to exert effort in achieving their targets compared to dealers who also acquire brands outside of the franchise network. As a consequence the exclusive dealers receive a relatively bigger cut of the total amount of discounts that dealers are offered conditional on their achieving sales targets set by the franchisor. We explain these results in terms of how much franchisors and franchisees believe that their relations will last or will be intensified in the future. We leverage on relational-contracts theory to develop our predictions and interpret our findings.

LeBron James seeking second title, payback on Spurs in 2013 NBA Finals
MIAMI – As fate would have it, LeBron James can now get revenge on the San Antonio Spurs whilecementing his legacy in the process.
James was the star of the Cleveland Cavaliers when they were embarrassingly swept by the Spurs in the 2007 NBA Finals. Now, six years later, James has a chance to pay them back in this year's Finalsas a member of the Miami Heat. Moreover, the 2013 NBA Most Valuable Player can become a multiple title winner in his fourth Finals appearance. Game 1 is Thursday night.
"It's a great opportunity. I have something in me that they took in '07," said James after practice Wednesday. "[They] beat us on our home floor, celebrated on our home floor. I won't forget that. You shouldn't as a competitor. You should never forget that.
"It's the same group of guys, for the most part, the same 'Big Three,' and coach Pop. And I look forward to the challenge once again."
James was 22 years old when the Cavaliers made their lone Finals appearance during his fourth season in the league. His sensational Eastern Conference Finals performance against the then-NBA power and veteran Detroit Pistons surprisingly vaulted the Cavaliers to the Finals. But with exception of an 83-82 Game 4 loss, the Cavs didn't give the Spurs much fight en route to being swept.
"It was a young LeBron," Spurs guard Tony Parker said. "He was still unbelievable because he was just coming off an unbelievable series against Detroit, playing great basketball. In particular, that series we played great defense on him. And it was just the beginning for him."
Since then, James has won four NBA MVP awards and his first NBA title last season with the Heat. Now 28 years old, he says he's changed in many ways since his Finals loss to the Spurs.
"Just smarter. A lot smarter. More experienced. Older. More mature both on and off the floor. And I think that's the most important thing. I've matured as a basketball player. I've matured as a man. And it has allowed my game to sprout," James said.
Said Parker: "Right now, he's a four-time MVP so it's going to be a different story."
[San Antonio vs. Miami: Who has the offcourt edge?]
While James is the NBA's biggest star now, it was just a year ago that he entered the Finals with a lot of pressure to finally win a title while being viewed as the biggest villain in sports.
James earned that reputation with his "Decision" to leave Cleveland for Miami in 2010. The disdain for him grew when he chastised his critics after the Heat lost to the Dallas Mavericks in the 2011 NBA Finals, saying, "All the people that was rooting on me to fail, at the end of the day they have to wake up tomorrow and have the same life that they had before they woke up today."
All the hatred, pressure and criticism subsided dramatically after James led the Heat to the 2012 NBA championship, mostly because the Finals MVP showed humility and grace following the title win over the Oklahoma City Thunder. Heat guard Dwyane Wade said he can tell James is a lot more loose this time around. One example was James jokingly smacking Wade on the back of his head before his media session.
