Washington, D.C. Chief Technology Officer Vivek Kundra
Today District of Columbia Mayor Adrian M. Fenty and Chief Technology Officer (CTO) Vivek Kundra announced the winners of the District's "Applications for Democracy" technology contest. The contest launched on October 14, 2008, invited software developers to compete for the best new applications to make DC government data more accessible and useful for the public.
"My administration is committed to making government more accessible and more transparent, and through this contest we've gotten help from the most talented developers," said Fenty. "I'm delighted with the responses. With these innovative applications, we can put government literally in the hands of the people."
The competition, open to the general public, asked developers to create mashup applications (a Web application that combines data from more than one source into a single integrated tool) for the district's data using popular consumer technologies like the iPhone, Facebook, Google Maps and others. Contest entries were required to use open source programming. Entries were judged by an appointed jury based on criteria including usefulness to citizens, usefulness to government, and originality.

Larimer Food Bank Asks You To Imagine Thanksgiving Without the Feast
Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and while families in the community are preparing to gather and share a bountiful feast, there are thousands of our neighbors who struggle to put food on the table. To help these neighbors this holiday season, the Food Bank is asking for the donation of 2,000 frozen turkeys to help provide holiday meals for families who are at-risk of hunger.
Every year, the Food Bank collects distributes turkeys, packaged stuffing, canned yams and cranberries to agency partners, including Salvation Army and the Vineyard, who provide holiday meals or meal baskets to low-income residents.
The September 2013 floods also increased the need for turkey donations. The Food Bank will also provide turkeys and side items to the Disaster Assistance Center in Loveland to make sure families impacted by the floods have a holiday meal.
How To Donate
While donations are primarily needed before Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, November 28, the Food Bank will accept donations up until Friday, December 20. DOnations can be brought to the north side of the Food Bank, 1301 Blue Spruce in Fort Collins, Monday through Friday from 8:00 am - 4:00 pm.
"This is a wonderful opportunity to provide much needed food for our neighbors who are struggling," says Amy Pezzani, executive director of the Food Bank. "Last month, we provided food to more than 13,000 people through our Food Share food pantry program. After a leveling off earlier in the year, we are seeing the number of visitors to Food Share increase as well as the average number of visits each month. We hope the community will remember those who face a shortage of food this holiday season and offer to help."

text: Hello. There is, as you point out, a lot more going on here. The wealth generated by slavery was not only in the cotton, rice etc that they produced. It was also in the slaves themselves. A strong field hand was worth a thousand dollars in 1850's-60's dollars. So a man with a thousand slaves had a hundreds of thousands of dollars dollars in wealth out in the fields, no matter how well his crops fared. He could also hire those slaves out, or let a skilled slave, like a carpenter, take on work in town and pay (more likely split) what he earned. He could even hire out the women. The south understood that the influx of northern immigrants was producing a body politic that wanted no part of slavery. Even so, the north was willing to tolerate it, to preserve the union. So was Lincoln. In that regard, he was a manifestation of the body politic in it's purest form. What would not be tolerated was the southern demand to allow slavery in territories prior to their admission into the union (bleeding Kansas was all about whether Kansas would be free or slave at admission.) The Supreme Court was responsible for this when it overturned The Missouri Compromise, which required one slave state be admitted for every free state admitted So the south tried to circumvent this by allowing slavery in the territories prior to admission. Trying to abolish slavery in a state that already had slaves would be difficult to say the least. Now, the reason the south wanted the territories to be open to slavery was purely economic. More slave territory meant that more slaves were needed. Which meant that if a man owned a thousand slaves worth a hundreds of thousand of dollars, they were worth hundreds of thousands of dollars more. Succinctly stated, slavery as practiced in the United States at that place and time was a giant bubble. It was not slavery that was going to go away. It was the wealth of the slaves that was going to diminish. Your second paragraph, that the matter of slavery in the Civil War is over determined is simply incorrect. The only thing going on here is slavery. It is true that there was a racial undertone, but it was a created racial undertone. Throughout history, for the most part, slavery had been pretty much an economic institution. In the south, people were taught that Africans were an inferior people, somewhere between animals and people. They were too simple to function freely. Even the slaves were educated in their dependence on white people. Traveling minstrel shows toured the south. They always included three main characters, Jim Crow, the typical hard working, carefree negro who prospered when he did his masters bidding, Tambo, the joyous musical negro, and Zip Coon, the sly negro who was always getting Jim in trouble (think King Fish Amos and Andy and ). Just another way to keep blacks in their place. Indoctrination was prevalent among white people too. Preachers preached it on Sunday (There was even a "Christian Way" to treat your slaves dogma), politician orated over the dangers of free negroes and civic leaders did the same. The message was always the need that slaves had for white masters. But the really chilling, insidious, vile message, the one that chilled the populace and absolutely convinced them that they need to keep these people enslaved was that black slaves craved after, lusted for and, left unfettered, would unleash a depravity on white females unseen since the rape of the Sabine women. Can you imagine preaching this on Sunday? Which, IMHO, accounted for the fierce devotion to the south among southern women during the war. (Ok, Butler didn't help much). So, at the end of the day, there was no other cause for the war but slavery, but slavery itself was a many faceted thing. ----- Original Message ----- From: <joadx1 at netscape.net> To: <gettysburg at arthes.com> Sent: Thursday, January 05, 2012 11:59 AM Subject: Re: GDG- NPS, Slavery and Economies > Esteemed GDG Member Contributes: > This is not a simplistic view; in fact, a number of modern analyses of the > Civil War focus precisely on the economic aspects of the conflict.

Lab Theatre gets 'Squeamish' with 'The Book of Liz'
Cheeseballs, flamboyant waiters, a giant peanut and a llama are parts of the fabric of the outrageous comedy, "The Book of Liz," to be performed by the University of South Carolina's department of theatre and dance in the Lab Theatre Oct. 22 – 25.
Curtain times are 8 p.m., and tickets are $5, available only at the door of the theater, located in the Booker T. Washington building on Wheat Street.
Graduate student Jennifer Goff will direct the production of the play, written by humorists David and Amy Sedaris, creators of "The Santaland Diaries" and "Strangers With Candy." She is a founding member of The Distracted Globe Theatre Company of Greenville, where she directed Neil Simon's "Barefoot in the Park" this past summer.
The story centers on Sister Elizabeth Donderstock, the brains behind the famed Cluster Haven Cheeseballs, the main export of a small Squeamish community in rural Pennsylvania. But when her quiet little world starts closing in around her, she sets off on a journey of self-discovery.
Anne Reid plays Sister Donderstock, and fellow undergraduates Rocco Thompson, Brittany Price Anderson and Jake Mesches combine to portray 15 characters in the fast-paced romp.
"Leave it to the Sedaris family to cram so much into such a short evening of theatre!" Goff said. "It's a one-act, but it has so much going on. It's been a really great challenge for me and for the undergrad actors to be able to wrap our minds around these larger-than-life characters. And I'm pretty sure we'll never look at cheeseballs the same way again."
For more information on this production of the Lab Theatre at the University of South Carolina, contact Kevin Bush at 803-777-9353.
'The Book of Liz'
- What: Outrageous comedy to be performed by members of department of theatre and dance
- When: Oct. 22 – 25, 8 p.m. each night
- Where: Lab Theatre on Wheat Street

Series of pregnancy with bleeding
My first two pregnancies required me to be in bed for the first two months. I had a miscarriage on my third. What is the problem?
Bleeding during my first pregnancy was because of placenta previa. I had a hemmorhage with my second pregnancy because the placenta was slowly tearing. What was causing this?
25th July 2013 02:36 AM #2
Hi xylumictin,
I'm so sorry you have had difficulties with bleeding in pregnancy. I know from my own personal experience that bleeding in pregnancy can be incredibly stressful and worrying.
Unfortunately, around 1 in every 5 pregnancies end in a miscarriage. In most of these cases there is nothing the mum has done to cause this. There is more information about understanding miscarriage in this article.
In placenta previa your placenta is lying very low in the uterus. This means that heavy bleeding is a possibility: during pregnancy, and during and after the baby is born. Placenta previa makes it more difficult for the placenta itself to be delivered.
I'm afraid the cause of placenta previa is unknown. However it is more common if you: have scarring in the uterus, have fibroids, smoke, are over 35 and unfortunately the risk is also higher if you have experienced it before.
Would anyone else like to support xylumictin and share their experiences of placenta previa?
With my best wishes,

Hi, LJ.
Well, I am not yet over 35 and I don't smoke. If ever I have fibroids, that would be seen in ultrasounds even during pregnancy, right? How will I know if I have uterine scars?
Thanks for being patient.
29th July 2013 03:51 PM #4
Yes - fibroids can usually be seen on an ultrasound.
A procedure called a laparoscopy can be used to diagnose uterine scars. The laparoscopy can also be used to remove some scars. Uterine scars can be caused by:
- endometriosis
- previous surgeries

Booneville Funeral Service
1811 East Main Street
Booneville, AR 72927
Funeral Planning
There are dozens of decisions to be made when arranging a funeral. Making these decisions today allows you to make logical, thoughtful arrangements your family will appreciate. The most important reason for making funeral and other estate arrangements is to spare your family this task.
Now, more than ever, it is important to plan ahead. Dealing with government agencies and insurance benefits can be frustrating and complicated. For example, did you know that each year millions of dollars in government and insurance benefits go unclaimed? It's unfortunate that many times the family does not have the information needed to claim benefits. Planning ahead protects your family's long-term security.
Knowing where to start can help make planning easier. Although we cannot answer all of your questions here, we can highlight the main steps for you. As your funeral director, we are able to assist with the details and answer questions you may have about government death benefits and funeral planning. It's important to plan today.
While most of us have life insurance or funds reserved for retirement, these are intended for the living, not to meet the cost of a funeral. You may wish to invest in a funeral trust account or final expense insurance policy when making funeral arrangements. In most situations, funds invested today will be sufficient to cover the total cost of the funeral at the time of need. Government regulations safeguard your investment so that funds will always be available for your funeral service.
Making funeral arrangements today allows time for you to tend to every detail. Oftentimes we have special wishes as to where we would like to be buried, who is to receive our personal effects and how we are to be memorialized. Your family and others who care for you will be assured the arrangements reflect your true wishes, rather than making decisions themselves about what you may have wanted.
With the number of revisions in government benefits over the years, it is important for each person to, not only be aware of these changes, but also understand how to protect their benefits.
Social Security: Your Social Security account should be verified periodically to ensure contributions are properly posted. All benefits must be applied for - payment is not automatic. Since qualifications vary, we recommend discussing your particular situation with us personally. Upon death, dependents and survivors may be eligible for certain death benefits such as Death Payments, Survivors' Benefits and Medicare. Qualifications depend on age, marital status, number of dependents and if employment was under Social Security.
Veterans' Benefits: Because qualifications and benefits vary, we recommend a personal review of your situation. There are many misconceptions regarding Veterans' death benefits. Honorably discharged veterans may qualify for cemetery plot and burial allowances, headstone, burial flag and/or a pension for survivors. These benefits may effect decisions about funeral arrangements.
Medicaid: We can explain the provisions under Federal Title 19 to you. Few people are aware of the provisions under Federal Title 19 where an individual can shelter funds to serve the family later by providing for funeral arrangements.
Begin your Planning by Organizing
We all have documents and information which others would have trouble locating: military discharge papers, Social Security numbers, bank accounts, safety deposit box keys, insurance policies, relatives' addresses. All of these items should be organized to be certain everything will be found. Insurance companies report that life insurance benefits are often unclaimed because survivors were unaware a policy existed.
Learn More by Investigating
Most people are unsure how to secure benefits and to be certain everything will be carried out according to their wishes. Often people delay making a Will because they feel they have little of value to leave behind. Your Will is vital to ensure your belongings are properly distributed and to avoid excess taxes on your estate. A Will allows you to name an executor -- someone whom you are confident will carry out your wishes. You should have an attorney prepare your Will to be sure legal requirements are met.
No matter what your final wishes, planning in advance permits choices and valuable input from your loved ones. Some considerations for your funeral service are listed below:
This list is far from complete, but it gives you an idea of the many decisions involved in planning a funeral. We can assist you in all stages of planning, from completing paperwork to helping and counseling the bereaved. We retain a complete record of your plans to ensure they are carried out on your behalf. A funeral trust account or final expense insurance is not a requirement of pre-arrangement, but the benefits merit serious consideration. Finally, be sure to advise your loved ones of your decisions and the arrangements you have made. Knowing everything is taken care of will give both you and your loved ones peace of mind.
How expensive is a funeral?The cost of a funeral depends on what you prefer. There are many services to choose from and a wide selection of caskets, vaults and other memorials. Advance planning also helps you prepare for the expense and permits you to set aside the funds over a period of time.
What if I move away?In most cases, your funeral plans may be transferred or cancelled for a full refund if at any time you should move 50 or more miles from our locations.
What if I die away from home?If you are traveling or visiting another city when death occurs, your survivors should contact our funeral home immediately. We will make the necessary arrangements with a funeral home in that location to assist with transfer.
What type of service do most families select?Most people prefer a traditional funeral. However, we offer many other choices to make the service meaningful to the family. Memorial services, special music requests, cremation, military and fraternal tributes are just a few of the options we make available. We honor any special preferences or requests.


text: Unfortunately at this stage we do not offer any free trial accounts. We do how ever offer affordable entry level reseller hosting packages which can be used to test our services and our support response times. During this time you may cancel your services at any time by requesting a cancellation 10 days prior to the service renewal date.

FrakenPLANT Grows Tomatoes and Potatoes! [PHOTO]
A new plant is on the market.... check out the TomTato!
It's being described as a "double-crop wonderplant" and produces BOTH cherry tomatoes and white potatoes!
That's a perfect salad!
Tomatoes and potatoes are from the same family, so this seemingly bizarre hybrid plant isn't that weird after all!
NBCNEWS.com reports that the Thompson-Morgan firm is claiming the "plants have been successfully produced commercially."
Are you ready to order yours today? Experts say that the TomTato plant won't taste any different that the original form!

Goolrick, Robert. Heading Out to Wonderful
Goolrick's second novel (after A Reliable Wife, 2009) is an Appalachian folk ballad given life. It's just after WWII and Charlie Beale drives into the small Blue Ridge town of Brownsburg, Virginia, looking for something. A place to call home, a place to put down roots. Brownsburg, where no crime has ever been committed and where the landscape makes Charlie's heart sing, seems to be the perfect place. He offers his services to the local butcher, Will Haislett, buys up land, and begins to settle in. But even as he finds his way in the town, he remains an outsider. The locals love him, but do not socialize with him much. And Charlie makes mistakes, too. He visits every church in town before finding a spiritual home in the African-American Episcopal chapel; he buys more land than he truly needs; he begins to feel like a second father to Sam, Will Haislett's 5-year-old son; and most dangerously, he falls in love with Sylvan Glass, the young beautiful wife of local small-time plutocrat Harrison Glass, who looks at Sylvan more as an investment than a wife. Sylvan is an outsider like Charlie; born in a small backwoods hollow, she nevertheless dreams of Hollywood and dresses and acts like a movie star. As their affair progresses toward the inevitable explosive climax, poor young Sam struggles to understand something far beyond his young experience and is altered irretrievably by what he witnesses.
Told in alternating viewpoints, this is a timeless tale of illicit passion and violence that builds slowly to a haunting climax. Fans of Goolrick's first novel will not be disappointed.

Even after tomorrow's orders have been logged and your dispatcher has figured out when and where each of your drivers needs to show up, you still must deliver that information to them.
ScheduleCom makes that part of the scheduling process much simpler. ScheduleCom uses the Internet and computer telephony to make distributing schedule information as easy as clicking one button on the dispatcher's screen.
This voice scheduling system, which runs in a Web browser such as Microsoft's Internet Explorer, essentially marries your computer-based dispatch scheduling system to a text-to-speech conversion tool and a voicemail system. Once the dispatcher publishes the schedule, the system makes a personalized voice message available for each driver with everything about his next day's schedule.
Using ScheduleCom doesn't change the basics: You still have to set up the schedule, communicate it to your employees and monitor their acknowledgements and requests for changes. But this system streamlines the process and eliminates miscommunication.
Although initial installation and setup are not do-it-yourself items, once you're up and running, operation is simple and easy. And because it uses a Web browser interface, you can access it from anywhere within your organization.
Easy to use
The dispatcher begins by creating the next day's schedule. In that process, the program pulls together the list of drivers and automatically fills in stored information for each, including truck assignment, a default location, and a standard start time.
Pulldown menus allow the dispatcher to change any of the parameters, such as moving the start time earlier or later. When everything has been set, the dispatcher then simply clicks an onscreen button to publish the schedule.
Once the schedule has been published, employees can call in from any phone to hear their schedules for the day and any company messages. Each employee logs in with a user ID and password to hear only his personal schedule and messages. In the process, employee responses can be recorded, including voice messages for the dispatcher. The system can also pose questions to employees and capture their responses.
One great program feature is that as each employee calls in, a note appears on the dispatcher's screen confirming that the employee has logged in and played back the message. Also, if the employee leaves a voice message, a note immediately appears on the dispatcher's screen. Clicking on that note allows the dispatcher to immediately hear the message through the computer.
You can listen to examples of schedule and company messages at the Web site at www.schedulecom.com,
The system is available in three package sizes that support up to 75, 250, and 500 employees. It runs on your server and requires MS Windows 2000 Professional/Server OS, MS SQL Server 2000, and enough analog phone lines to match the number of ports for the package selected, which are four, eight, and 12, respectively.
ScheduleCom is a product of Cen-Apps Technologies of Lincoln, Calif. Earlier this year Birmingham, Ala.-based Command Alkon became the exclusive reseller of ScheduleCom to the construction materials industry. For more information, contact the company or visit the Web site at www.commandalkon.com.

LISTEN: Courtney Love shares new song 'You Know My Name'
Listen to Courtney Love on iHeartRadio
Courtney Love's first new song since 2010 is making an appearance a little earlier than expected.
"You Know My Name" is part of Love's upcoming double A-side single, which also includes the new song "Wedding Day." They're both due out officially on May 4th, just ahead of the start of Courtney's short U.K. tour on May 11th.
Love has also hinted at a reunion of the classic Hole lineup sometime this year, but has since backtracked on those comments. She said the relationship with her bandmates is "very frail," adding that nothing might actually happen at this point.
Check out "You Know My Name" below:

Intel has introduced the fourth-generation Intel Core processor family, providing responsive, secure and powerful performance for consumers to create and consume content. With power levels as low as 6W in scenario design power, Intel is enabling thinner, lighter, cooler, quieter and fanless designs. The fourth-generation Intel Core processors are capable of delivering up to 15% better performance than the previous generation, the vendor said.
Consumer and business systems based on quad-core versions of fourth-generation Intel Core processors are now available. Summer availability is planned for 2-in-1s ultrabooks, portable all-in-ones and traditional notebooks and desktops. New mobile business products with fourth-generation Intel Core vPro will be available later this year.
The fourth-generation Intel Core processors can bring an 50% improvement in battery life over the previous generation in active workloads when watching movies or surfing the Internet, and two to three times improvement in standby battery life. For some systems coming to market this year, over nine hours of active use battery life or 10-13 days of standby with fresh data on a single charge is expected.
To achieve this breakthrough, Intel significantly reduced the CPU power to as low as 6W and also worked across the system for power optimization. These improvements range from system-on-a-chip (SoC) and platform level technologies to Intel's 22nm process technology.

It is quite true that Kepler had some slight knowledge of the existence of what we now know as gravitation.
I didn't make the laws of the State any more than I made the law of gravitation.
A man is very seldom hurt at this game, though how he escapes without a broken neck is one of the wonders of gravitation to me.
The principle of gravitation is of far wider scope than we have yet indicated.
He is overcoming the force of gravitation, which is incessantly pulling him down.
There is a certain attraction of gravitation between these weights.
The great office came to him by the laws of gravitation and character—to him the clean of hand, and brave of heart.
We have thus a means of comparing the gravitation at the two places.
Here then is the special characteristic of the magnetic force, which distinguishes it from that of gravitation.
Theologically it is described as a gravitation, a bias toward evil.
1640s in physics sense, also figurative, from Modern Latin gravitationem (nominative gravitatio), noun of action from past participle stem of gravitare (see gravitate). Related: Gravitational.
gravitation grav·i·ta·tion (grāv'ĭ-tā'shən)
The natural phenomenon of attraction between massive bodies.
The act or process of moving under the influence of this attraction.
A movement toward a source of attraction.
See gravity.
The force, first described mathematically by Isaac Newton, whereby any two objects in the universe are attracted toward each other. Gravitation holds the moon in orbit around the Earth, the planets in orbit around the sun, and the sun in the Milky Way. It also accounts for the fall of objects released near the surface of the Earth. The modern theory of gravitation is the general theory of relativity.

"Keep your eyes on God who is greater than any problem."
These were the words of a mother to her beloved daughter as she wrote to encourage her to solve the problems that she was now confronted with in her young life.
This is a lesson that we would all do well to learn. With God all things are possible and we must never waver in our trust of Him.

Best Of :: Arts & Entertainment
BEST LOCAL RAP ARTIST/GROUP Garcia "Some people label me a thug in an effort to prejudge/Not trying to be something I'm not," raps Garcia on "None of Dem." But he's no backpacker, and his solid debut album Anti-Social is packed with raw and uncompromising tracks: On the title number, one of the best cuts, producer Nick Fury samples the eerie climactic theme from the cautionary drug film Requiem for a Dream to full effect. A thoughtful young MC from Kendall, Garcia has been working Miami nightspots with his longtime crew Crazy Hood Productions for years, from big joints such as Mansion to dank rock emporiums such as Churchill's. Though Anti-Social was released last year, it's only now that hip-hop fans around the nation are hearing Garcia's album above the din of the culo crunk that dominates this city and learning about this complex, noteworthy artist.
BEST ACTING ENSEMBLE The Constant Wife Coconut Grove Playhouse The Playhouse's hit revival had so many fine performances, it is only fair to fully credit them all. Alicia Roper was regally serene in the title role, beautifully matched by Greg Wood as her duplicitous husband, Nancy Dussault as her wisecracking mother, and Dan Olmstead as her once and future swain. Take those delicious ingredients, stir in Ian D. Clark, Susan Wilder, Ursula Freundlich, Pilar Uribe, and Dan Schiff, and out pops one tasty soufflé of an ensemble show.
BEST ACTIVITY TO DO WHILE INTOXICATED Beer Pong Hooligan´s Pub & Oyster Bar
9555 S. Dixie Highway
www.hooliganspub.com Every Thursday night at 9:00 Hooligan's offers a chance for everyone (yes, the distaff included) to get their balls wet. On one of the Ping-Pong tables brought into the pub for this event, each contestant is required to arrange ten cups of beer (sort of like bowling pins). Opponents then get on either side and attempt to bounce a table-tennis ball into the other team's hops. Each time a player scores, the other team must drink. Because a person has to be pretty much drunk before indulging in such a game, a few misses are to be expected. This makes it even more fun, seeing as the ball will no doubt end up landing on the grimy floor a few times before plopping into its intended target. The object is to make the opposing side drink all ten cups of beer -- including any carpet lint, dust, and other fluff. Yummy.
BEST ACTOR David Kwiat Kwiat's performance as the dying oddball physicist Richard Feynman in QED (at GableStage) was in production a full year ago. Award competitions such as the Oscars often have short memories in such cases, but all these months later Kwiat's funny, touching portrait of one man's search for peace and meaning still resonates, an exceptional example of an exceptional actor's style: understated, deeply felt, and fully alive.
BEST ACTRESS Angelica Torn No doubt about it. This year's nod goes to Angelica Torn, who tore up the stage in her fierce, memorable portrait of poet Sylvia Plath in EDGE at the Coconut Grove Playhouse. Torn used a deliberately off-putting, disconnected persona to portray the troubled writer. But her flat, atonal vocal delivery and disheveled demeanor masked a volcanic emotional life that erupted in brief spasms of sudden anguish. The result was indelible: frightening, sarcastic, pitiable, courageous.
BEST AM RADIO PERSONALITY Bishop Victor T. Curry WMBM-AM (1490) Imagine your average radio talk show. A couple of hosts prattle on about the news, sports, and entertainment while occasionally taking calls from agitated listeners. Now imagine that wrapped in scripture and gospel music, and you'll have the wonderful Morning Glory show, which airs weekdays from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. with an extra two hours added on Tuesdays. Especially when it comes to controversial subjects, it's easy to get riled (a number of callers certainly do) and say to yourself, I wish I knew more about scripture so I could actually argue with the good reverend. That's the point.

"There are those who will say that the liberation of humanity, the freedom of man and mind is nothing but a dream. They are right. It is the American Dream."
—Illinois poet and lawyer, Archibald MacLeish
The Land of Lincoln is accustomed to being at the center of the human rights struggle of our time. In every generation, a few brave Illinoisans chose to take a stand for what is right. They called upon their government to end inequality, and questioned ingrained practices that were accepted by most people at the time, but that worked a terrible injustice. Their voices propelled the nation forward. Our proudest native son, Springfield lawyer Abraham Lincoln once wrote "Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves." The Lincoln-Douglas debates, held throughout Illinois, were the crucible for our country's imperative to end slavery.
Poet and civil rights activist Carl Sandburg, who reflected, "Nothing happens unless first a dream," drew inspiration from his birthplace, Galesburg, where Lincoln began to challenge Douglas' position on the morality of slavery.
The agitation of Illinois labor activists such as Albert and Lucy Parsons led, at the cost of Albert's life, to passage of the Fair Labor Standards Act.
Jane Addams, founder of Hull House, turned the nation's attention to the role that mothers play in the strength and development of stable families and thriving communities. She knew that if women were to be responsible for their families and communities, they needed the vote. She championed the message that families do better when all are granted equality.
In campaigning for suffrage, Addams was joined by Evanston resident Frances Willard and Ida B. Wells Barnett, a Chicago journalist and anti-lynching crusader who helped form the NAACP. Illinois became the first state east of the Mississippi to grant women the right to vote for president, and the mobilization of Illinois women voters in 1914 transfixed the nation. Our state went on to be the first in the nation to pass the Nineteenth Amendment, and the first to pass an equal rights amendment to its state constitution.
In a later generation, it was Senator Everett Dirksen of Pekin who was key to passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. He knew racial discrimination was wrong, immoral, and unjust, and had the courage to stand on principle.
And recently, President Barack Obama, who began his career as a community organizer in Chicago, affirmed that same-sex couples should be able to get married.
Each of these Illinoisans pointed the way for the rest of the nation. The 16 same-sex couples and their children in Lambda Legal's lawsuit join this proud tradition by seeking to realize their dream of belonging to married families.
Lead plaintiffs Jim Darby and Patrick Bova of Chicago have been together for over 48 years. Darby worked in the stockyards before enlisting to fight in the Korean War. He and Bova, a librarian, met on the south side of Chicago, fell in love in 1963, and have been in a committed relationship ever since.
For Darby and Bova, marriage is central to their values and concept of family. Many of the other couples who join them in bringing suit have children. These couples seek to marry not only to demonstrate the depth of their love and commitment to each other, but to secure their children's future and show their children that their family deserves respect.
For twenty years, Lambda Legal has been in Illinois – the only national organization specifically focused on securing LGBT rights with a consistent presence in the heartland. Illinois is our hometown and the value of equality has been taught to us since we were children. We learned in our schools that, although Mr. Lincoln was not always popular, history vindicated his courageous leadership.
Our Midwest values inform our work. Lambda Legal's Illinois case seeking marriage for same-sex couples draws upon our values of life-long commitment and responsibility for our children. It is about the freedom to be true to oneself, to love, and to marry.
It's time for Illinois.

The number of Hispanic-owned businesses in Texas increased from 319,340 in 2002 to 447,589 in 2007, a 40.2 percent increase.
Survey of Texas-Hispanic Owned Businesses with Paid Employees
Bureau of Business Research
IC2 Institute, University of Texas at Austin
Hispanics are the largest and fastest growing minority group in the United States and represent a large and growing segment of the economic environment in Texas. In 2007, Hispanic-owned businesses (HOBs) accounted for 20.7 percent of all businesses in Texas and the number of these HOBs have increased rapidly since 2002. Despite this trend, why do HOBs lag behind the mainstream for business? The 5th Annual Hispanic Leadership Summit explores this trend, while also offering panel discussions on tips and advice every future entrepreneur should know from the experts.

BELLFLOWER - Monthly rates for residential trash and recycling pickup would rise about 3 percent if the City Council approves a proposed rate increase.
The council is scheduled to vote on the request from CR&R, the city's solid waste and recycling hauler, at tonight's meeting.
The city receives a 5 percent franchise fee for allowing CR&R to operate in Bellflower. The rate increase would generate an extra $7,500 in revenue for the city, according to a staff report.
CR&R requested the increase, but the company's agreement says the city must approve any increases, according to the city council staff report.
The city's director of public works, Deborah R. Chankin, recommends the council approve the increase, according to the staff report.
If the council approves the request, the average monthly residential rate for solid waste and recycling collection would climb 48 cents, from $17.73 to $18.21.
It was not clear in the staff report when the new rate - if approved - would go into effect. It also was not clear why CR&R requested the increase.
Compared to neighboring cities, rates for Bellflower's residential trash and recycling service fall about in the middle, according to the staff report.
Elsewhere, monthly rates are:
Signal Hill: $13.77
Cerritos: $15.62
Downey: $15.73
Paramount: $16.28
Lakewood: $18.22
Norwalk: $20.79
Long Beach: $22.80

It's amazing that a candidate will spend 100 times more money than what the position he is running for even pays. Look at how much money Mike Bloomberg spent to run for his third (and unconstitutional) term. He spent over 85 million dollars of his own money for a job that pays $200,000 per year. If we want to change the mentality of elected officials, we need to change the laws. Unfortunately, it's easier said than done. How can you get someone to vote for something that will level their advantage over their competition the next time they run for office. Let's be for real though… The powers-that-be are not going let that happen because they most likely know that they lose control over the election process. Third party candidates currently don't stand a chance to run against the Democrats and the Republicans with the laws that are in place.
The current laws in regards to campaign contributions are very screwed up. Look how much money was funneled into President Obama's campaign. Unknown contributors and questionable entities made it possible for Obama and his henchmen to carry out one of the greatest campaigns in American history. If Obama is so much for equality for all Americans, then he should lead by example in the next election in 2012.
How that could be done is to eliminate all contributions for all campaigns. The media (newspapers, TV and radio) should be regulated to have equal coverage of each candidate. All candidates should be required to be involve and participate in any and all debates. No more commercials for candidates, instead have each news and talk show have these candidates come on at different points of the election cycle to "pitch" their policies. No one candidate gets more air time or a better time slot than another. As for raising money for running the campaign trail, there is no more campaign trail. If all the candidates are interviewed and participate in debates, there wouldn't be a need to be on a campaign trail. If all news outlets are required to have these candidates on in equal time, how can the American voter NOT know what they stand for. As for the debates. Have at least two every month through the primary and then step it up to once a week through the general election.
All the repetitive speeches and slandering of the opponent has taken up too much of the campaigning along the trail that it's not even worth for a voter to go to one of these "campaign rallies".
No matter at what level of government the candidate is running, it should be done in this type of manner.

Seventy-five Years of Showstoppers
That, 30 years after the fact, is the most enduring mental picture of eight decades of Sugar Bowl history, the play most fans think of when the subject of New Orleans postseason football comes up.
Starting from the first, in the 75 years of the Sugar Bowl, where national titles have frequently been settled, and where mesmerizing football has been the norm, there have been dozens of plays that have determined outcomes - and remained vivid in the memory banks of spectators. Could anyone say one, even the stirring goal-line stand, is any greater than the others?
There's Tom Clements' pass from his own end zone in 1973 to tight end Robin Weber - a tight end who hadn't caught a pass all season - for a first down with two minutes to play, which allowed Notre Dame to run out the clock against Alabama - and win the national championship, 24-23; There's the blocked punt by Georgia freshman special teams player Terry Hoage that led to a Bulldogs' field goal, and more. On the ensuing kickoff miscommunication between the Irish deep men allowed Georgia to fall on the live ball at the 1, from where Herschel Walker scored. Hoage's block led directly to 10 points in a 17-10 Bulldogs' victory which secured the national championship; Kentucky's Walt Yowarsky breaks through to throw Oklahoma's Billy Vessels for a five-yard loss from the Wildcats' 4. The Sooners never did score on the series, and the Wildcats snapped the 31-game victory streak of national champion OU.
Picking the biggest plays in Sugar Bowl history is pretty subjective, but here are the 20 most memorable plays in chronological order:
2. 1939 - Davey O'Brien hits Durwood Hunter for a 44-yard touchdown on the first possession of the second half as TCU takes the lead (12-7) for the first time against Carnegie Tech. Until the Sugar Bowl, the national champion Horned Frogs had not been behind all season. TCU defeated Carnegie Tech 15-7.
3. 1940 - Texas A&M end Herbie Smith, at 5-foot-8 the smallest man on the field, blocks the extra point attempt of Tulane's Jimmy Thibaut. That was the crucial play in a 14-13 victory for the national champion Aggies.
4. 1941 - Charlie O'Rourke runs 24 yards for a touchdown - on a play taken from the Tennessee playbook - with two minutes to play lifts Boston College to 19-13 upset over the previously undefeated Volunteers.
5. 1945 - Duke's Gordon Carver tackles Alabama receiver Ralph Jones, who caught a pass from Harry Gilmer and only had to beat the defender at the Blue Devil 24, on the last play of the game. Duke won 29-26.
6. 1951 - Yowarsky's heroics end OU's long victory streak.
7. 1958 - Ray Brown, flushed out of punt formation, races 92 yards for Ole Miss in a 39-7 victory over Texas. Brown became the first unanimous recipient of the Miller-Digby Trophy, emblematic of the MVP of the Sugar Bowl.
8. 1967 - Ray Perkins' 45-yard reception of a pass from Kenny Stabler on the game's first play set the stage for Alabama's 34-7 victory over Nebraska. The win climaxed an 11-0-0 season for Bear Bryant's Crimson Tide.
9. 1972 - Tinker Owens' 20-yard catch from quarterback Dave Robertson, which set up the first touchdown in Oklahoma's 14-0 win over Penn State.
10. 1973 - Tom Clements' daring pass from his own end zone to with two minutes to play, allowed Notre Dame to run out the clock against Alabama - and claim the national championship, 24-23.
11. 1980 - Krauss and the Alabama defense stop Penn State's Guman cold on fourth-and-inches from the goal line. The touchdown-saving goal-line stand preserved the Crimson Tide's 14-7 victory, allowing No. 2-ranked Bama to jump past the No. 1-ranked Nittany Lions to the national championship in the final vote.
12. 1981 -Perhaps no single play ever meant so much in the Sugar Bowl as Hoage broke through the line to block a Notre Dame punt that led to a Bulldogs' field goal, then Georgia recovered the live ball in the ensuing kickoff that led to a touchdown - the difference in winning the national championship or falling short.
13. 1982 - With 42 seconds remaining on fourth-and-five, Pittsburgh quarterback Dan Marino hits tight end John Brown for a 33-yard touchdown as the Panthers defeated the Georgia Bulldogs 24-20.
14. 1983 - With Georgia needing just a field goal to snatch away a victory - and the national championship - away from Penn State, quarterback Todd Blackledge speared receiver Gregg Garrity for a six-yard gain on a third-and-three at the Nittany Lions' 32 with two minutes to go. The play allowed Penn State to run out the clock.
15. 1984 - Al Del Greco's 19-yard field goal with seconds to play as Auburn beat Michigan 9-7. Del Greco scored all of Auburn's points as the Tigers finished 11-1.
16. 1993 - George Teague's 31-yard interception return seals Alabama's 34-13 upset of No. 1-ranked Miami as the Crimson Tide took the No. 1 crown for itself.
17. 1995 - Byron Still's 60-yard punt return ignited Virginia Tech from a 0-10 deficit against Texas to a 28-10 victory.
18. 2000 - Florida State's Peter Warrick catches a 64-yard touchdown pass from Chris Weinke. At the time of the play, Virginia Tech had outgained the Seminoles 123-8. The touchdown fired FSU to a 46-29 victory, and the national title.
19. 2004 - LSU defensive end Marcus Spears intercepts a pass at the line on the first series of the second half and plows 20 yards into the Oklahoma end zone. The touchdown proves to the scoring difference as the Bayou Bengals beat the Sooners 21-14, and claim the BCS championship.
20. 2006 - In a game of big plays on both sides none was bigger than Phil Brady faking a punt and running for 10 yards, which allowed West Virginia to run out the clock in a staggering 38-35 upset over Georgia.

Retailing is a function to present and sell goods and services to the final users of the product. As such, retailers represent the final link of the supply chain. Although retailing seems like a deceptively simple activity, the act of presenting products to the ultimate consumer has become highly complex and has mushroomed into a highly competitive and challenging industry. As a matter of routine, retailers face challenges like changes to international trade laws and routes, changes to markets with new and emerging markets as well as maturing markets. There are also rapid developments in technology that help consumers become ever better informed about product quality and pricing. This means that many retailers now have to compete on a global scale because of the Internet.
This unit guides students through the basic elements of retailing. Additionally, the unit focuses on topical issues that typically arise due to lapses in corporate social responsibility, ethics in retail, changing socio-demography of markets and the effect of new social movements that emphasise anti-consumption and environment issues. The unit invests resources to help students prepare for careers in the retail and associated industries. These roles can include retail functions in banking and finance, supply chain and logistics, manufacturing, advertising and promotion, and marketing.

Global Connections: Gary Wigmore '82July 25, 2012
Fordham Law alumnus Gary Wigmore '82 always has had a keen eye for new business opportunities. In fact, that's what led him halfway around the globe to Asia where, for more than two decades, he has practiced project finance law as a partner in a leading international law firm.
After delivering a speech in Jakarta in the early 1990s, he returned to New York and told his colleagues at Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy LLP that Asia's expanding economy presented exciting business opportunities they simply couldn't overlook.
"It was the beginning of the roar of the 'tiger economies' in Singapore and Southeast Asia," Wigmore said. "I told them that we shouldn't follow our clients to Asia; we should lead them there. We should be on the beach when they arrive, knowing how to help them develop and finance large projects."
Asia's need for "infrastructure projects"—power, oil, gas, roadways, bridges, and rail systems—presented rich opportunities for U.S. businesses and for Wigmore's firm to identify ways to finance them with private sector funds.
What Wigmore wasn't expecting was his firm's offer: an opportunity to move to Singapore to expand his firm and tap this emerging market. So he and his wife, Lori, and two young children, Andrew and Heather, set out to Asia, where they've lived ever since.
Business in Southeast Asia boomed, and Wigmore and his team handled project financing throughout the region—in Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, India, the
Philippines, Vietnam, and China. What was supposed to be a two- to three-year assignment turned into a 20-year career overseas. "It's been an unexpected but satisfying journey," he said.
Wigmore attributes a large part of his good fortune to Fordham University, where he earned his law degree in 1982. "Fordham opened up doors and provided a forum where I learned a set of skills that made firms such as J.P. Morgan and Milbank Tweed consider me for these opportunities," he said.
His Fordham Law degree capped his graduate education in management science at Carnegie Mellon University and undergraduate studies in psychology at SUNY Oneonta. It also provided the foundation for him to pursue a career in international law.
A deep appreciation for the opportunities that unfolded through his connections to Fordham—from his first job in banking at J.P. Morgan, a position his classmates encouraged him to pursue, to practicing law on Wall Street and in several other major world financial centers—is evident in the many ways Wigmore supports his alma mater.
His recent generous gift to Fordham Law's Center on National Security was inspired by gratitude, he said, and informed by his 30-year career. "Being an expatriate in Asia has had a profound impact on the way I view myself, the United States, and our global community," Wigmore said. "It has deepened my appreciation for the freedoms we Americans often take for granted, and has sensitized me to how vulnerable we are to having these freedoms taken away."
Established in 2011, the Law School's Center on National Security engages in research, policy work, and public education about national and global security issues.
"Mr. Wigmore's gift is a tremendous boost to the mission of our center," said Karen Greenberg, Ph.D., the Center's director and a noted expert on national security, terrorism, and civil liberties. "It will support research and public events, and all efforts of the center as we confront national security issues through the next decade."
Wigmore added that he is encouraged by Fordham Law's commitment to the study of national security since he believes that "we can overcome most challenges with reason and open debate and scholarship." He also applauds Fordham Law's increasingly global programs in humanitarian and international law. "These initiatives are among the reasons Fordham's reputation is growing, and it's why I am proud to be an alumnus and supporter."
In the same way Wigmore helped to build his firm's presence in Asia 20 years ago, he is expanding the reach of the Fordham Law Alumni Association. As president of its new Hong Kong chapter, he hosted the group's inaugural event, which attracted more than 30 alumni to the China Club in Hong Kong. Wigmore—who traveled to New York in May to attend his son's graduation from Fordham Law—is excited about helping students and alumni connect with peers around the globe. "Creating and developing networks has been important in my life," he said. "It's not only professionally productive, but personally satisfying."

That is what is stated in the "good book". For those interested, see 2 Corinthians 3:1-3, which basically says, among other things, our lives (attitude, actions, words & deeds, etc.) are a book that others are reading. Therefore, no need for pretentious tats or bumper stickers, IMHO.
Just live it.

Preparing for Twins ~ You don't need two of everything :)
This is part of an article I wrote awhile back and I thought it might help other parents of twins get prepared. This isn't the end all be all; these are just things I came up with from my own experience. If there are things I don't have listed be sure to comment on this post and add them.
Getting Ready
When you have more than one baby it's always important to keep fully stocked on all supplies. You'll thank yourself later if you have things ready to go before your babies arrive. Parents of twins need to keep plenty of the following items on hand; bottles, wipes, nappies, and formula. There are other items that are important to have a lot of like; onsies, sleepers, spit up rags. You will go through a lot of these so stock up!
Things you should have two of:
Car Seats- These are an absolute must. They won't even let you leave the hospital, without seeing properly installed seats in your car.
Cribs - Most twins enjoy sharing a crib (or at least they seem to) but opinions differ on whether that is actually safe or not. Once they start moving around and rolling over we put them in their own cribs and they actually slept better.
Baby Carrier or Sling – Baby Carriers or slings are great to have so you and your partner can each carry a baby. Babies like being close to you and for some situations it works easier than driving a bulky double stroller around. There are carriers and slings made for twins but I never had one. Did anyone ever use one of these?How was it?
High Chairs - These of course aren't needed right away, but they are necessary. If space is an issue (like it is in our house) we got high chairs that attached securely to our dining room chairs and they worked perfectly.
Two Sets of Bottles - We had a lot of glass bottles. I would fill them all up for the day and again at night. It made it quick to just grab and go. A huge time saver for bottlefeeding mums.
Things you might need two of:
Diaper Genie or Diaper Pail – You really only need one of these. However, if you have a split level house it will be much more convenient to have one on each level.
Baby Swing – You might be fine with only one of these but if both babies really love them – you'll probably want two.
Bouncy Seat – These are wonderful to move from room to room so the babies can see what you are doing and you can see them.
Exersaucer – Once your babies are a little older these are really fun. I would put the excersaucers next to each other and my boys would play and interact with each other and their toys. Like the swings, you would probably be fine with one but I really liked having two.
One will do:
Changing Table
Vaporizer (unless they are in two separate rooms)
Nursing Pillow
Activity Mat
Baby Bathtub
Night Light

DoubleSunshine - These are great suggestions.
What would you suggest about a playpen (or pak-n-play)? One or two?
