Corporate America Foots The Bill To 'Salute' GOP Lawmakers
by Mike Allen
PHILADELPHIA - At a reception in the grand Beaux Arts lobby of a bank a few blocks from the Republican National Convention, tuxedoed waiters will push mint juleps through brass-barred teller windows to members of the House banking committee. Among those footing the bill for Monday evening's reception will be the American Bankers Association, Wells Fargo and First Union.
The next night, the Federal Tax Policy Group of PricewaterhouseCoopers, along with the Wine and Spirits Wholesalers of America and three other sponsors, will hold a reception that is designed, according to the invitation, "to salute Chairman Bill Archer and the Republican members of the Committee on Ways and Means," the House tax-law writers.
And on Wednesday, Time Warner Inc., Walt Disney Co., Viacom Inc. and other sponsors from the entertainment industry will offer a night of Latin music at the Shampoo Night Club, "honoring Congressman Mark Foley and the House Entertainment Industry Task Force."
Political conventions have long been about parties, in more ways than one. But this year's gatherings, both here and at the Democratic National Convention in Los Angeles next month, are dominated more than ever by "tributes" and "salutes" aimed at specific lawmakers and paid for by corporations with pressing business before them.
The social calendar for the hours before and after each night's podium session are crammed with such events, honoring individual lawmakers, state delegations and even entire committees.
For the lawmakers, the soirees represent a cost-free way to thank supporters and to cozy up to others who might back them in the future. And for the companies picking up the tab, the tributes are a golden opportunity to curry favor with lawmakers with massive influence over their businesses, allowing companies to shower politicians with benefits far in excess of the amounts the companies could give directly to a campaign.
Jefrey Pollock of Global Strategy Group Inc., a market researcher and Democratic pollster, said lobbyists and lawmakers see such entertainment as "a way of going back to the fun days of the '50s and '60s, when lobbying rules were looser and the money was flowing."
"These huge parties are an extraordinarily effective way of getting your point across, and it's all hidden from the public," Pollock said.
The part of the four-day convention that is open to television viewers--the speeches, the roll calls, the star-spangled hats and purses--opens Monday. But the private partying begins Sunday night, when the Temptations will perform, courtesy of DaimlerChrysler Corp. and nine other sponsors, at a reception honoring Rep. J.C. Watts (Okla.), chairman of the House Republican Conference.
Two days later, Lucent Technologies Inc. will honor Watts at a reception "recognizing the accomplishments and achievements of minorities in the Republican Party."
Watts, a former University of Oklahoma quarterback who twice was rated the most valuable player in the Orange Bowl, said the wide news coverage of the convention provides a chance for the Republican Party "to put our product on the shelf--education, Social Security, tax fairness and tax relief."
And, he said, "it's a good time for vendors to put their product on the shelf as well."
Watts said the hospitality would have no effect on his decisions on Capitol Hill. "If they're right, heck, I'll do 'em the way I do anybody else," he said. "If they're not, I'll be able to step up to the plate and tell them that."
AT&T Corp.--the giant of wireless, cable and long-distance service--is co-sponsoring at least six major events at the convention, including the Lott Hop, a '50s-themed tribute to Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott (Miss.). The master of ceremonies will be former "American Bandstand" host Dick Clark, whose show originated from Philadelphia. The Four Tops, the Shirelles and Bobby Vee and the Vees will perform.
About 1,500 guests will be invited to indulge themselves at "Splish, Splash" beverage stations and "Reach Out" pizza bars. As with many of the lavish convention salutes, the special-events planner--in this case, Hayes and Associates of McLean--set up a separate phone line and e-mail account just for RSVPs.
One lobbyist said AT&T was dismayed by the outcome of the deregulatory Telecommunications Act of 1996 and wants to make a big political play as a "prophylactic" for future legislative overhauls.
Jim McGann, AT&T's government affairs spokesman, said all the entertaining is "a good opportunity for us to discuss informally with folks what's going on with the industry and with AT&T."
Congressional ethics rules do little to inhibit the largess. The House Committee on Standards of Official Conduct has this to say about events in honor of a member: "As long as the identity of the sponsor (that is, the person that is organizing and paying for the event) is made clear to all participants (e.g., on the invitations), an event nominally 'in honor of' a Member or group of Members is not generally considered a gift to the honoree(s)."
The Senate Select Committee on Ethics says such events are permissible as long as they are widely attended, which is defined as an event to which "at least 25 noncongressional attendees are invited."
Longtime Capitol Hill ethics staffers said they cannot remember a complaint involving entertainment at political conventions.
The "in honor of" celebrations come in several flavors. The most common is the straight tribute, such as the "luncheon honoring Denny Hastert," the House speaker, that former representative Bill Paxon (R-N.Y.) and his law firm, Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld, is holding, with sponsorship by AT&T and seven other benefactors.
Similar events will dot the calendar for the Democratic convention. The Edison Electric Institute and 16 energy companies, for example, will host a brunch at the well-known restaurant Spago in Beverly Hills for Rep. Albert R. Wynn (Md.).
Some of the events allow the public official to play the gracious host. D.C. Mayor Anthony A. Williams requests the pleasure of invitees' company "at lunch in honor of the . . . Republican elected officials of the District of Columbia," sponsored by Lockheed Martin IMS, which has the District's contract for the cameras at intersections that allow the automated issuance of citations for red light violations.
Many of the events have a theme. Eleven financial institutions and associations that want looser limits on contributions to individual retirement accounts are throwing an "IRA-Palooza," subtitled "the Philadelphia Financial Freedom Stash-Your-Cash Bash." The invitation says the event is "honoring the contributions to savings" of eight Senate and House leaders.
Some planners throw in celebrities. Hank Williams Jr. will headline a cocktail buffet being held to "celebrate" with "elected Republican officials from the states where General Motors Corp. is proud to have facilities." A few days later, Wayne K. Cherry, GM's vice president for design, is scheduled to lead a lunch and "Car Chat" in honor of Hastert.
With so many spectacular events being held during just a few days, the pressure to outdo is immense. Michigan Gov. John Engler, who will hold a "Republican Bandstand" sponsored by a dozen firms, was one of three officials who had the idea of sending invitations shaped like 45-rpm records, complete with a sleeve.
The most obvious social showdown is between two competitors to be the next chairman of the House Commerce Committee: Reps. Michael G. Oxley (Ohio) and W.J. "Billy" Tauzin (La.).
Oxley is holding a $400,000 "Salute to the House Commerce Committee" at the original sound stage for "American Bandstand," with a concert featuring Frankie Avalon, Chubby Checker and Bobby Rydell. Dick Clark, who had a dozen requests but is doing just two events during the convention, will be the host. About 800 guests will dine on chili dogs, shoestring potatoes and Coke floats.
At least half a dozen of those sponsors are also underwriting a Mardi Gras street fair "honoring our favorite Cajun, Billy Tauzin," who is competing with Oxley to succeed Rep. Thomas J. Bliley Jr. (R-Va.). Bliley is stepping down as Commerce Committee chairman because of the House's self-imposed term limits on chairmanships.
AT&T is a co-sponsor of a separate "salute to the House Commerce Committee with a special tribute to Chairman Tom Bliley."
Although it is not as large as some of the other bashes, one of the week's most-talked-about events may be a $30,000 martini and cigar night honoring Rep. David Dreier (Calif.), chairman of the House Rules Committee, with AT&T and two other firms as sponsors. The invitation came in a cigar box, and the party favors will include silver-plated martini glasses.
"It may not be politically correct, but it is very chic," said Brad Smith, Dreier's chief of staff. "We expect a long line."

(CNSNews.com) - Seven years after the U.S. Supreme Court allowed the Boy Scouts of America to exclude homosexuals from its leadership ranks, the organization continues to face retaliation.
The latest action comes from the Philadelphia City Council, which last week passed a resolution to evict the Boy Scouts of America's Cradle of Liberty Council (COL) from the rent-free headquarters it has held for nearly 80 years, unless the COL backs away from its homosexual exclusion policy.
The resolution would affect about 40,000 Pennsylvania Boy Scouts. It was introduced by City Council member Darrell Clarke and passed 16-1. The measure terminates, one year from now, the rent-free agreement that the city of Philadelphia has extended to the COL since 1928.
Philadelphia City Solicitor Romulo Diaz told Cybercast News Service that the resolution would be dropped if the Boy Scouts end what he called their discrimination against homosexuals in scouting. Another alternative, he said, would be for the COL to keep the property by paying "fair market value" for it.
Kera Walter, a Cradle of Liberty Council spokesman, told Cybercast News Service that the COL received no warning that the resolution was going to be introduced on May 31.
"We were very much caught off guard," she said, especially since the COL had already been engaged in discussion with the city about the issue and, according to Walter, had already adopted policy language to placate the council.
The Supreme Court ruled in 2000 to uphold the Boy Scouts of America's First Amendment right to bar homosexuals from leadership ranks in the private organization. In 2004, the COL worked openly with the city of Philadelphia to adopt a local non-discrimination policy.
"The language of this policy was given to us directly by the city," Walter said, adding that the Boy Scouts of America national organization approved the language of the policy. "This policy is currently available and can be viewed on our website. We adopted that and we have certainly abided by it."
However, Diaz is unsatisfied, declaring that the COL policy is too vague. "It's as a consequence of [COL's] refusal to clarify their policy that we've taken the steps that we have."
Diaz said he believes that the policy's language came from the policy of another Boy Scouts council in New York City.
"The problem is that the language says that they will not engage in 'illegal' discrimination. That could be interpreted to mean that under the [Supreme Court] decision in Boy Scouts of America vs. Dale, they could discriminate and that would not be considered illegal."
Diaz said the city has spent three years trying unsuccessfully to get clarification from the COL about how they interpret that phrase in their policy.
"I'm hoping that the COL Council is going to recognize that it's now time for them to conclude this dispute, which has been lingering much too long," Diaz said.
"If they tell us that they will allow gays in scouting -- and that is the appropriate interpretation of their policy -- and that's in writing, then as far as I'm concerned then we've concluded this chapter," Diaz said. "But you can't evade clarification and then continue to seek rent-free subsidies from the Philadelphia taxpayers."
"We're not trying to hurt the Cradle of Liberty Council," Diaz added, "but at the same time, this is a commonsense approach that recognizes we have non-discrimination policies that are established in Philadelphia law."
The irony here is boundless," said Robert Knight, director of the Culture and Media Institute, a division of the Media Research Center, which is also the parent organization of Cybercast News Service.
"The City of Brotherly Love, home of the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall, is punishing the Cradle of Liberty Council for the crime of upholding timeless moral standards. They are treating the Boy Scouts of America, who teach kids personal responsibility and respect for others, as if they were the Ku Klux Klan."
"The Cradle of Liberty does not discriminate," Walter said. "There has never once been a charge or allegation of discrimination based on sexual orientation brought against the Cradle of Liberty Council in its history, and I'm not quite sure what their basis is for eviction."
Walter said the COL Council is still evaluating what to do next. "But we really do not want to move out of this location, because it would simply hurt so many of the youth of Philadelphia that need our programming at this time."

Antibodies, Behavior and Cognition: The ABCs of immune-mediated alterations in brain development
Simons Foundation Lectures
Thursday, May 30, 2013 from 4:30 PM to 6:30 PM (EDT)
Event Details
Please join us for a free lecture for the graduate level and above scientific community on ANTIBODIES, BEHAVIOR AND COGNITION: THE ABC's OF IMMUNE-MEDIATED ALTERATIONS IN BRAIN DEVELOPMENT.
Speaker: Betty Diamond, The Feinstein Institute for Medical Research
Commentator: Alan S. Brown, Columbia University
We encourage you to obtain tickets online now through Eventbrite for limited seating available on a first come, first served basis.
Inquiries: firstname.lastname@example.com.
Autism: Emerging Concepts series schedule is available here.
As neutralizers of microbial agents, antibodies are a major contributor to immune competence. Occasionally autoantibodies bind to self tissue, however, creating autoimmune disease. In the adult, the brain is heavily protected against autoantibodies by a blood-brain barrier, but during fetal development that barrier is not fully competent, and maternal antibodies may penetrate the fetal brain. In that case, if antibodies bind brain tissue, normal development may be altered. This mechanism may contribute to some cases of autism.
Dr. Brown will provide post-lecture commentary providing context for Dr. Diamond's work vis-a-vis epidemiologic studies of autism and related disorders.

Subject: [OWEN] William Owens Gold Mine
Date: Sun, 3 Dec 2000 23:30:35 -0600
References: <firstname.lastname@example.com>
To the OWEN-L roots web members:
The following article was extracted from the book "Haralson County (GA): A
History" by Lois Owens Newman, p. 79, c. 1994, W. H. Wolfe publisher. A
William Owens was supposed to have discovered gold on a piece of land he
lived on near Tallapoosa, GA in the early 1830's and someone has connected
him to my William Owen ancestor who lived in Newton County, AR before 1850.
The article does not give a footnote to a source reference showing how the
writer linked these two William Owens together over a 700 mile distance. I
am looking for any one who might have further information about either of
these William Owens. (See my notes after the end of this article about how
this might or might not relate to my Owen ancestors).
On August 19, 1837 William Owens purchased Land Lot #134 in the 8th District
(of Carroll County, later Haralson County, Georgia) from Thomas J. Stephens
of Oglethorpe County, Georgia. Stephens had drawn the lot in the Creek
Lottery, known as the 1827 land Lottery or Georgia, on July 17, 1833. Owens
also came into possession of Lot #133 which be sold to Thomas Bonner,
Underwood and David Clopton in 1852, by Power of Attorney, after moving to
Newton County, Arkansas.
William Owens worked the mine for several years with primitive methods. He
is credited with discovery of gold there and the mine is shown on maps as
early as 1847 and as late as 1869 as the Owens Mine.
William Owens sold the mine to Edmond Holland ca 1847. Mr. Holland had been
involved in mining operations at Villa Rica earlier. Holland is credited
with being very successful and gaining much profit from the mine though
there is little documentation to prove it. In 1917, members of the senior
class of Tallapoosa High School interviewed Mrs. Amanda Little, daughter of
Edmond Holland, who gave the following information concerning her father's
profit from the mine.
Mrs. Little stated that her father moved to the Owens Mine from Villaflica
in 1847. He had bought the property for $300.00. He worked the mine with
slave labor and in 1849, during three days and nights, took $45,000 in gold
from the mine. The gold was hauled to the Dahlonega Mint. She stated that
her father took enough gold from the mine to found the Atlanta National Bank
and that he was President of the bank for several years.
Records show that Edmond Holland sold all or part of Lot #134 to David
Clopton, 6 October 1849. (Book F. p 523] Mrs. Little said that her father
moved to Texas early in 1860 and later to Louisiana. He came back to Georgia
after the war.
Amanda Holland married Francis M. Little in Carroll County, 18 October 1849.
The couple are buried in the cemetery at Mt. Zion Baptist Church in Haralson
County, GA.
Two reports by state geologists, one in 1896 arid another in 1909, outline
the properties in Haralson county where gold was mined. These reports appear
in the Appendix.

Years of Tallapoosa, Georgia by Frances Greene.
NOTES by William D. Gorman on 3 Dec 2000:
My ggg grandfather was named William Owen b. 1777 in NC and lived in Newton
County, Arkansas in 1850. He had sons (that we know of) Richard Owen b.
1804 NC, Thomas Owen b. 1812 TN and Aaron Owen b. 1820 KY so it appears that
William Owen. His son Richard was in Newton County, AR as early as 1832 and
there is some family tradition that these Owen ancestors moved to MO from KY
before going to AR. Thus we see an early pattern of westward migration for
my Owen ancestors which seems inconsistent with him being the William Owen
who lived in Georgia between 1833 and 1847.
It is interesting, however, that the Amanda Little mentioned in the article
was married to Francis M. Little who was the son of another ggg-grandfather
of mine, a Josiah Little of Carroll Co., GA and later Cleburne (Benton)
County, AL. Josiah Little's daugher, Sarah Ann Little b. 1824 in Jackson
Co., GA who married Caloway Stephens. Sarah and Caloway married in Carroll
Co., GA in 1841, moved to Tallapoosa Co., AL in 1843, then to Benton Co., AL
in 1851 and to Lawrence Co., AL before 1860 where Caloway ran a grist mill
and worked as a blacksmith. Caloway served in the 23rd AL Inf Vol Reg in
the Civil War and died in 1863 of fever (typhoid)?). Sarah and Caloway had
9 children and as far as known, Sarah never remarried. She is buried in
Ellis County, TX under a headstone :Sarah Ann Stephens". Sarah is believed
to have moved to Newton County, AR after the 1870 census and prior to the
marriage of son Joseph Richard Stephens to Elizabeth Beckham in 1871 in
Newton County. In 1874 Sarah's daughter Arletha Stephens married Richard
Carol Owen (he was born in Newton Co in 1851) in Newton County, AR. This
Richard Carol Owen was a son of Richard Owen b. 1804 NC and the grandson of
William Owen b. 1777 NC who was living in Newton Co., AR in 1850.
So, although there was the possibility of an Owen - Little - Stephens
acquaintance in GA before 1850, the Owen family which Sarah Ann Little
Stephens daughter married into had been in Arkansas for 20-38 years prior to
Sarah and her children arriving there. I am trying to discern whether this
Owen family of Newton Co., AR was really descendants of the William Owen who
owned a gold mine in GA and if so, was there a connection between the
familys there which could have provided part of the catalyst which spurred
the migration of widow Sarah Ann Little Stephens and her children to Newton
County, AR about 1870.
If anyone who is not completely confused can enlighten me on either of these
William Owens I would be in deep gratitude.

The Move for Change campaign
The Move for Change campaign is a three-year, three-part pan-European online survey (translated into 24 European languages) that asks people with Parkinson's (PwPs) whether their lives have improved since the launch of the Charter for People with Parkinson's in 1997.
Each year, the EPDA receives numerous reports from a number of countries that indicate many PwPs are still waiting a long time to see a Parkinson's specialist; have limited access to support services; and do not have a Parkinson's disease nurse specialist (PDNS) service, among many other things. Furthermore, many of the therapy services – such as speech and language, physiotherapy and occupational – are very limited or non-existent. So what difference exactly has the Charter made since its creation to present day healthcare services throughout Europe? The EPDA began the Move for Change campaign to seek answers to this question.
The survey seeks frank responses from participants on one or two specific points from the Charter. The data received from the first two surveys has provided invaluable evidence that supports the fact that the management of PwPs must improve throughout Europe. The results from the first part of the campaign were published in the October 2011 issue of the European Journal of Neurology (authored by two distinguished neurologists, Bastiaan Bloem and Fabrizio Stocchi) and have played a crucial role in the development of The European Parkinson's Disease Standards of Care Consensus Statement.

Rihanna is celebrating her 25th birthday today by announcing a new partnership with MAC Cosmetics. Mac will be launching a collection of products inspired by Rihanna's look, called RiRi Hearts MAC.
"When you think of makeup, the brand that pops into your mind—for something legit—is MAC," Rihanna said of the new deal. "Whatever color you want, it's like, 'Let's go to MAC.' I've been using MAC on tour for such a long time, it was a natural fit for me. I have always loved makeup, and I always said that if I do it, I want to do it with a credible brand."
Unlike some of Rihanna's other endorsers, MAC says they are not concerned with the singer's often controversial personal life.
"She's a grown woman, and whatever makes her happy makes us happy," said John Demsey, president of MAC parent company Estee Lauder. "Life's complicated. Far be it for us to judge.
The first product in the line will be a red lipstick called RiRi Woo, to be released in May. Rihanna's partnership with MAC will include four collections in total, each being released throughout 2013.

'The Hills' Toast the Season Sans Speidi
So, it's the end of another season of MTV's reality phenomenon The Hills. The beauty of this show is that no, those kids aren't acting, they really are as vacant and petty as they appear on screen. Which means the off-screen shenanigans are usually just as entertaining as any semi-drama that makes the final edit.
Villainous couple, Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt, were reunited on-screen in the final episode of the season. Spencer proved that yes, you can pout your way back into a relationship if you really, really try hard enough. Even if the ex-girlfriend you're trying to win over is a staunchly independent feminist icon. Just tell her how cute she looks in her teensy formal shorts, and seal the deal by filling her head with promises of weekly staged photo shoots.
But Lauren Conrad's arch-nemeses were nowhere to be seen at the party thrown to celebrate the end of the season. The official word from Montag's rep is, "Not invited." However, L.C. claims she had nothing to do with the drafting of the guest list. Asked if she thought the absence of the show's bad guys from the event seemed odd, she told E! News Online, "It's not weird to me."
Ouch. Way to rain on Speidi's skin parade.

(CNSNews.com) – After President Barack Obama delivers remarks in Texas about the need for immigration reform, he will head to Austin for two Democratic National Committee fundraising events.
Obama is scheduled to deliver remarks at a DNC event at 5:50 p.m. Mountain time at the Moody Theater in Austin, the state capital. A source close to the fundraising event said it was $1,000 per plate, but students could get in for $44 per plate. Then, at 7:25 p.m., Obama is scheduled to deliver remarks at another DNC event, this time in a private home. There was no information on this event.
The president announced he was running for re-election in April and spoke at a dozen DNC events last month. In many cases scheduled official speeches led up to the events.
When the president or vice president mixes official business with politics, they must follow policies established by the Department of Justice and the Federal Elections Commission during the Reagan administration. The immigration speech at the Chamizal National Memorial in El Paso is official business covered by the taxpayers.
According to the FEC, when a presidential or vice presidential candidate travels on the taxpayer's dime for political purposes – such as the trips to the DNC events in Austin – they "pay the pro rata share of the fair market value of non-commercial flights."
Reimbursement guidelines include payment of the "lowest unrestricted and nondiscounted first-class airfare in the case of travel between cities served by regularly scheduled first-class commercial airline service." (See earlier story)
But even after reimbursement, taxpayers still cover about 97 percent of the cost for a political trip of Air Force Once, according to a 2006 report by minority Democrats on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.
The report estimated the cost of Air Force One travel at $56,518 per hour to taxpayers when the president travels, based on figures cited by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) in 2000 and adjusted for inflation. The report stated that cargo planes accompanying Air Force One operate at an additional $6,960 per hour, again using the 2000 GAO figures, adjusted for inflation.

Referring to the above example, if its not skipping the iso headers because I'm explicitly loading standard.lcd, why does it complain "+skipisoheaders redundant with current value" when I use the +skip-iso-headers flag? Am I not understanding the +skip-iso-headers flag correctly? As a further note, the library we are creating is just a small superset of the posix.lcd that comes with splint. We create a posix-rte.h that has annotated POSIX.4 structures, constants, and prototypes, then we run the command: splint -nolib standard.h posix.h posix-rte.h -dump posix-rte Then we use this library to check our code. Using the +skip-posix-headers flag with this library generates the "redundant" complaint, and by and large seems to work fine. So far its just code that is including gcc-3.2.3's stdarg.h that exhibits this problem.

TEL AVIV (Aug. 12)
The management of the Payis Israel national lottery is waiting for an unknown person to come to their office and claim the largest prize in the history of the lotto's weekly gamble. The ticket was correctly filled in by a Ramat Gan resident and carry-overs from previous weeks when there were no correct entries brought the prize money up to 2.4 million Shekels (about $200,000). The person paid 35 Shekels (about $3) for his entry form.

Providing poor families with access to computers and the internet can sometimes produce new problems, according to organisers of a government-funded learning programme.
A student whose family obtained a computer under the 'I Learn at home' programme found that rather than being able to use it for homework, his father took it over and became hooked on computer games.
'In the case we handled, a dad was using the computer day and night. The student could only do his homework after the dad finished playing computer games,' said Thomas Leung Wing-fai, representing one of the programme's two implementers, Net-Com rock n' roll.
The programme, which started in July, seeks to help poor families buy computers and secure internet access. But solving problems that arise after the computers are installed is the real challenge, according to the implementers.
Tony Lee, of the other implementer WebOrganic, said the group had set up a counselling hotline and received 400 inquiries. Most were about parents taking over the computers and children getting addicted to internet use. The group had yet to come across any severe family disputes over computer use, but Lee said that if it did, it would refer them to professional counsellors.
According to targets set by the government, the two groups were supposed to serve some 20,000 families in the first year of the five-year programme, said Joey Lam Kam-ping, deputy government chief information officer.
There are still four months to go, and the two groups have served about 9,010 families. This represents a small fraction of the 240,000 families qualified to join the programme.
Social Welfare Department staff will promote the programme during annual follow-ups with households receiving Comprehensive Social Security Assistance.

Eskom's Medupi Site Headed for 1-Month Delay
Eskom Holdings SOC Ltd., which supplies 95 percent of South Africa's power, said work at its Medupi plant remains suspended, heading for a one-month stoppage because of labor unrest.
Building work at the plant in Limpopo province stopped on Jan. 16 when Eskom, South Africa's main power utility, sent home 13,000 workers after protests involving members of the National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa and employed by Hitachi Kaefer and a unit of Murray & Roberts Holdings Ltd.
"The labor unrest and violent behavior are a material risk to delivery" of the project, Hilary Joffe, a spokeswoman for Eskom, said in an e-mailed response to questions. "The project is on a tight schedule to deliver first power to the grid by the end of 2013."
Africa's biggest economy is expanding its electricity- generation base to avoid a repeat of power shortages that halted mines for at least five days in January 2008. Medupi, which is due to start producing electricity at the end of the year, will be the world's fourth-biggest coal-fired plant.
"We have not revised our timelines," Joffe said.
Medupi will produce about 4,800 megawatts of electricity once completed. Capital expenditure for the plant was estimated at 91.2 billion rand ($10.1 billion), excluding capitalized borrowing costs, in Eskom's annual report for the year through March 2012. The utility is seeking a 16 percent increase in average electricity prices each year until 2018.

Take a virtual tour of Acadia National Park in this exhibit, which includes a specimen of every bird found in New England. Interactive exhibits offer insight into bird behavior, and New England birders will also find a useful bird "dictionary."
Birds naturally detect predators. Their sounds and movements indicate hidden predators lurking around them all the time. Here, you can learn how to interpret the bird language you hear being chirped just outside your window at home.
Help the FBI solve some tough cases in Acadia National Park. Fly into the forest in a bird language computer game that puts you along a park nature trail. Try out the "Sneaking Corridor" to test your stalking skills, and see if you can sneak past a robin without setting off its alarm call. If you make it past the robin, you're ready to learn bird language.

Ask Mac Questions and Get Answers from Experts ASAP
Hello and thank you for contacting us, a paid expert support site. My name is XXXXX XXXXX I'd be glad to assist you with your issue.
Do you mind allowing me to control your computer so I can see what happened and see if I can repair it somehow?
I have disabled the password XXXXX for you to be able to work. Just click enter. The iphoto library is empty at this time. I have an external drive called 2TB with pictures in /ipl
Great - can you please go to http://join.me and click Start Meeting - software should download. Please run that software. A little box should appear along the top of your screen with some numbers in it. Can you please give me those numbers so I can connect?
I just imported one directory into iPhoto so you can see what's up. I'm using my iPhone as a modem so I can't stay on hold here very long!
ok Going there now
If you are busy we can do this later! I do not want to burn up my minutes waiting for you to respond!
I am disconnecting in 2 minutes!
I am disconnecting in 1 minute
Call me when you are ready to work on my problem
Sorry, the connection is too slow. I am not able to connect.
We can still try to chat to discuss. Remote control is a lot easier as I would be able to see exactly what is going on.
You said you downloaded a jpg. That is a picture file and cannot be executed so unless it was actually a program that you ran, it couldn't have done what you are describing.
I don't know about viruses. All I know is I was locked out of being able to delete it. It changed my permissions, deleted the administrator from iphoto directories AND my doc sub directory. I could NOT move it to the trash in iPhoto. I can't delete the picture on my iPhone using iExplore. I have allowed other techs on my system using my iPhone in the past so I don't know why you can't do it.
I by your lack of immediate reply to my statements I assume you are doing other things while trying to help me. Sorry But I can not stay online indefinitely to accommodate you.
I am doing some research on what might've caused your issue. There are a few things you can try while I do this.
OK fine...
To repair permissions, please click out to your desktop and use the Go menu at the very top.
Choose Utilities from this menu. Look for Disk Utility and open it up.
On the left side, choose your hard drive and click the button labeled "Repair Permissions".
This process will take some time so please let it work. Once done, it's recommended that you restart.
OK I have already gone to Get Info for the directories I was locked out of and added Administrator BACK to who can read/write so that is not an issue.
The repair permissions will do that on every folder on the drive so you don't have to do it yourself.
in Get Info for that jpg there is NO Option to view who can read or write or view that jpg.
Every file and folder has that option as permissions are both file and folder based. It has to be there.
Like I said It Is NOT There for THAT JPG. Why don't we try you getting on my system again so I can show you??
Tell me when ur ready...
Is the number the same?
I have not loaded it yet waiting for your reply... I will now.
Ok, seems to be working better this time
Sorry I forgot I have used MacKeeper to shred it since I couldn't delete it.
It's fine. Can you show me what damage you were referring to?
It's on my iPhone and I can d/l it again. But 1st lets see if it's gone from iPhoto...
Is that a brand new iPhoto library or is it the same one?
See what I mean about the thumbnails? I've delete everything and copied this directory from my iPhone... There's also a set of them on my 2TB drive... Lets go see if that file is gone...
See the pics are all there but I can't get the thumbs to work. I've uninstalled iphoto and copied it from another external CLONE of OS 10.6.8 and still no joy...
Ok - mind if I try taking control and trying something?
go for it...
I think you have to do it. Hold down Command and Option and open iPhoto - a popup should come up
Been there done that 50 times... but I will do it for you....
Are you holding both keys down?
ok I'm sorry lemme try again... My wife was talking to me...
OK did you see me do it Right that time?? :))
Yup - I did. Have you tried a brand new library?
Yep... I also tried dragging them to iphoto from iExplore same same
Iphoto crashes a lot now also... I've thought about trying iPhoto 11 but after reading the horror stories decided against it...
u still tere?
Well, there is something that I would like to try. Let me take control again and do some things. Then I will have you create a brand new library and we can test.
da there
Sorry I'm not a touch typist... sure go ahead...
sorry my bad...
Its ok
Ok, hold down Option and open iPhoto - create a new library and put it somewhere like your desktop. When it is done, let me control again
lets import some from the 2TB drive...
Ok, go ahead and put some of your own photos in and see if it does the same thing.
As far as the crashing goes, that might be because you copied it from another system. Updating your iPhoto would fix that.
Now I wonder if I can move the directory into iPhoto?
What do you mean? Drag the entire folder of images?
ya that works too! Please tell me what you deleted in case this happens to me again??
I deleted the preference files to see if that would fix the crashing but it didnt so you don't need to worry about them.
I want to try ieplore while I have you online, OK?
The only thing I had you do was create a new library and import some photos in. You likely had a corrupted library.
I personally don't have any experience with iExplorer so I don't know what you are attempting.
OK that don't work so I'll have to rebuild the directories... Now then I TRIED creating a new Library BEFORE calling on you... Something you deleted allowed this to work right...
iExplorer might need a certain version of iPhoto to work properly. 6.0.6 is pretty old. If you were to update your iPhoto, it would likely work.
In your home directory is a folder called Library. In there is Preferences. I deleted two files that started with com.apple.iPhoto - those files just contain settings.
You should only attempt to delete preferences when you are experiencing issues with a particular program.
Ya but iPhoto 11 is NOT for me. Do you know how high upgrades I can go before iPhoto 11
I assume you mean iLife '11? The version of iPhoto in that is iPhoto 9 so the next version down would be iPhoto 8 which was part of iLife '09.
I don't know the version number of the one that was just released
OK so I have to stay below 8 when it changes right?
Yup. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPhoto#Version_history
Ok thanks Brenden. You deserve a tip but I'm a Disabled Veteran living on my VA check so I'm always broke.. No hamburgers this month now that I paid for this service..

Westfield has gone back to future, so to speak.
Whether it's a reflection of the tough times in the retail sector or just the next phase of the growth in the empire, the news of the restructure has set the market on fire.
In its third major reshuffle of its 53 year history as a listed company, the group will rebadge its Westfield Retail Trust associate under the new Scentre and sell into that vehicle with all the Australia and NZ assets, currently owned by Westfield Corp (WDC).
In December 2010, the group split its business to form Westfield America Trust, which owned half of the Australian and NZ assets. At the time the then executive chairman Frank Lowy said it was a momentous occasion for the company.
Three years on, Westfield Corporation, which Mr Lowy formed with John Saunders and listed on the ASX in 1960, will now focus more on Europe and the US for new developments.
However, the big red W will remain the brand across all of its 103 shopping centres across Australia, the United States, the United Kingdom, New Zealand and Brazil.
In total the group has 23,000 retail outlets and total assets under management in excess of $63 billion.
But, effectively it shows the company's focus is now on the overseas markets for growth, while being a landlord and mall manager in Australia and NZ, under the new Scentre company, to be run by the current finance director Peter Allen.
It is expected that more asset sales will ensue, more in the form of joint ventures, and probably starting in Southern hemisphere. The group is also selling overseas assets in the US and recently put its Derby, UK shopping mall, which is valued at about £400 million, on the market. The group is looking at spending upwards of £350 million on the Bradford Broadway centre, also in the UK.
Analysts said its one of the biggest restructuring they have seen in the property real estate investment trust sector since Westfield de merged and spun off Westfield Retail Trust three years ago.
The proposal is subject to approval by WDC and WRT unit holders at meetings to be held in late May 2014. Should approval be granted, full implementation and separate listings are expected to occur in June 2014. The proposal has the support of the WDC Board and the independent directors of WRT.
Westfield Group shares closed 4.1 per cent higher at $10.78, while Westfield Retail Trust fell 0.3 per cent to $2.99.

Simplest thing you can do is to use fdisk and also look to /proc/partitions before/after reboot like Eric mentioned. Please tell me if there is any diffence if you use fdisk or SLES9 kernel. jan --

Bank chairman
"Hopefully it will not just be a whinge session," he said at Bendigo's AGM held simultaneously in Adelaide and Bendigo on Wednesday.
"Another Campbell-type inquiry into the financial system we think would also be warranted, not a Wallis-type inquiry into bank regulation where Australia's system proved so successful over the past decade.
"I certainly hope it will have a more ambitious brief than Mr Hockey's list of nine questions," he said, referring to Opposition treasury spokesman
Mr Johanson said such an inquiry should be conducted after global banking rules setting capital and liquidity requirements were finalised.
The Campbell inquiry into the Australian financial system was established in 1979 to recommend changes to the regulatory structure of the financial system to promote efficiency and stability.
Its final report in 1981 contained 260 recommendations covering all aspects of regulation, and said many regulations should be removed, but government intervention in the sector should not be completely abandoned.
Mr Johanson told shareholders an inquiry into the financial system was needed to address Australian banks' reliance on offshore funding.
He said it was also necessary to work out whether incentives were needed to encourage the $1.5 trillion in superannuation savings to flow into domestic interest bearing securities that could help fund the local banks and reduce Australia's structural savings deficit.
The current incentives faced by banks to provide cheap lending for housing instead of business should also be questioned to decide if this was in Australia's long-term national interest, he said.
Mr Johanson also referred to the "furious reaction" to the Murray Darling Basin Authority's report on water reform.
The bank had not changed its lending criteria or its foreclosure policies as a result of the draft report, he said.
Mr Johanson also weighed into the political debate over banks' profits, saying new rules over capital and liquidity set by global regulation authorities meant banks would be a lower risk business in the future.
"So investors should accept lower returns," he said.
Return on equity (ROE) was a measure of profitability and the Australian banks delivered ROE of 20 per cent or more prior to the global financial crisis, he said.
A return to that level was still anticipated by bank analysts, but historically such returns were "unusually high and beyond what one would expect of a privileged, government guaranteed utility", he said
Bendigo posted record cash earnings of $291 million in 2009-10, and both cash earnings per share and dividend per share had now returned to pre-crisis levels, he said.
Managing director Mike Hirst said the bank was well placed to grow its business over the medium term.
He told shareholders the bank's new corporate head office would be located at the existing Harris Scarfe site on Grenfell Street in Adelaide and would accommodate about 1000 staff.

Seeking counselling and therapy is a courageous act. You will be safe, respected and cared for in a confidential and warm environment. If you are suffering emotional and physical pain especially in the areas of loss, grief and trauma it is important to know that you will be held safely.
I offer counselling and therapy for individuals and couples and group therapy. I also offer clinical and personal supervision for counselors therapists nurses and social workers.
I have a special interest in psychological trauma and how this is held in the body as 'unfinished business'. If the effects of trauma are not dealt with our body produces many symptoms and unexplained pain that may not be diagnosed from a medical view. I work with chronic illness and many mental health issues. I have worked within mental health teams since 1993 and have a deep appreciation of the skillful adapting that a person may use to cope with childhood abuse and live to be a successful survivor. I work with couples who present with destructive relationship dynamics and we work to untangle these dynamics so both are free to express intimacy. I work also with couples who may have chosen to separate and assist in undoing and releasing the bonds that bind them together.
I trained as a group facilitator for adult education in the 1980's and this led to a counselling qualification. I began training as a psychotherapist and graduated with distinction in 1991 as a gestalt psychotherapist. I also trained in REBT (rational emotive behaviour therapy)and became familiar with many other humanistic models through workshop trainings. I trained in systemic family therapy and was part of an ongoing support and research group for four years as the development of 'narrative therapy' came out of this systemic work. This forms the basis of my couple work. I worked with children who were in social welfare care for a five year period and used a full playroom to do this work. When I came to the UK in 2000 I became employed with Priory Healthcare as a trauma specialist and later as a generic psychotherapist within an adult acute service. I began private practice in 2005 and have continued to work part time in mental health teams both in East Sussex and in London. I began a part time study with the Gestalt Centre in London to do a clinical and accademic MA in gestalt therapy and have completed this with my dissertation being the integration of gestalt and EMDR (eye movement desensitation and reprogramming). I trained in EMDR in 2003 and have used this technique within my practice ever since.

A radical cradle-to-grave rethink on the automotive manufacturing process. Delivers 40% reduction in CO2 emissions over the entire vehicle lifecycle. Deploys Formula One technology to create a virtuous cycle of low-weight benefits. iStream® is a revolutionary and all-encompassing rethink on the way cars are designed, developed and produced. It's a truly clean-sheet approach that powers automotive production into the 21st century. iStream® combines leading-edge lightweight technology, low-energy consumption and flexible small-footprint production sites where the market is located to deliver a radical all-new production process, capable of producing equally innovative and forward-thinking vehicles. It maximises the benefits of lightweight Formula One construction technology, without any of its prohibitive associated costs, to create a production process that's low in both emissions and investment.
iStream® forges an entirely new production method that defies conventionality with its Formula One-derived construction and materials technologies. The core tenet of this process is a fit-for-purpose approach to lightweight material usage and low parts count to achieve an ultra-low vehicle weight.
Reducing weight benefits every aspect of a vehicle. The combined iStream® result is an advantageous weight-saving of up to 200kg on a typical supermini... more
Many manufacturers claim their cars feature Formula One technology. For most it's little more than a conspicuous sliver of polished carbonfibre mounted on the dashboard that creates the tenuous link between
road and track.
iStream® is different – its method of construction and materials used in its thin-skinned honeycomb iPanels are deeply rooted in Formula One constructions methods, with the focus on low weight and high strength
Despite the resourcefulness of this process... more
Because the iStream® assembly process fully exploits known and current assembly and materials technologies, it requires up to 80% less capital investment than a standard automotive assembly plant, with the potential of much quicker returns.
Having a physical footprint up to 75% smaller than traditional sites means a 60% reduction in energy consumption, and the associated reduction in greenhouse gas emissions will mean the plant will easily meet existing and future environment regulations... more
iStream® was designed from the onset to deliver a manufacturing process with a dramatically reduced carbon footprint, one small enough to set the benchmark in the automotive sector for unprecedented levels of low carbon emissions at all stages of production.
This will be achieved through assembly sites a quarter the size of today's car plants with attendant benefits of lower energy and resource consumption, vast improvements in manufacturing efficiencies, sourcing low-cost green raw materials and producing.... more
The vehicles that the iStream® process can produce may redefine our current expectations of compact cars, but their size belies their levels of safety and protection they offer.
The innovative layout and construction of the iFrame assembly, as well as its bonded iPanels that feature unidirectional materials to effective channel very high crash loads, creates an impressively rigid and impact-resistant architecture that passes all current and upcoming Euro NCAP passenger and pedestrian impact tests... more
The iStream® production process delivers a level of manufacturing flexibility unprecedented in the automotive sector. Developed from the word go for the low-cost scaling of different vehicles through its innovative chassis architecture, iStream® enables a standard platform to quickly and effectively deliver different vehicle types and model variants.
A four-seater sports coupe, a taxi, a people-carrier, an urban delivery van, an emergency support vehicle or a pick-up truck could all be derived from an initial passenger car layout... more
What is iSTREAM?
The end result is a vehicle that benefits from a virtuous cycle of low-weight production and delivers a 40% reduction in greenhouse emissions over its lifecycle. In doing so it redefines current standards of safety, durability, economy, packaging, affordability and cradle-to-grave environmental impact. At the core of the iStream® process is the technology to build a lightweight and low-cost vehicle architecture using a combination of large-diameter, thin-walled steel tubes that are formed, laser cut and profiled under computer control, and then welded together.
This iFrame structure picks up and joins together all the structural hard points - suspension mounts, seat anchorages, powertrain mounts, battery mounts, interior controls and door hinges – which is cost-prohibitive in a composite structure. The tubes used in the iFrame are then coated internally and externally with an organic autophoretic material to provide exceptional corrosion resistance... more

What is it about September and October that spooks investors so much? For all the talk about the two witching months, the Dow Jones has fallen on average about 1 per cent each September in the past 113 years, while October's performance is about flat.
In Australia, shares on average since 1985 are flat in September but fall a little more than 1 per cent in October.
But the two months remain linked to the sharemarket's darkest days. This September, however, is shaping up as the best on Wall Street since 1939 and the major S&P ASX 200 Index is poised to put in its best monthly performance in a year.
The main reason investors sometimes wince at this time of the year is some of the largest events seem to happen in September.
Take 2008. Stocks were hammered as the global financial crisis reached its peak with the collapse of Lehman Brothers. Looking further back in history, one of the darkest September days was in 1869 when a failed bid to corner the gold market set off a panic.

October also has its fair share of "black" days. The 1929 crash alone had three: Black Thursday, October 24, when the panic first struck, followed by Black Monday, October 28, and Black Tuesday, October 29.
The other Black Monday, the 1987 crash, was on October 19 and wiped almost 23 per cent of the market's value in one day.
October also features in the history of the Asian crisis when in 1997 the Dow dropped 7 per cent.
Perhaps one major reason why the memory of October is so hard to shrug off is that it took the Dow Jones 25 years to recover from the October 1929 meltdown.
September and October are not the only months to have a seasonal flavour to them.
If it comes just before Christmas, it's immediately dubbed the "Santa Claus rally". If it flows through to the new year, it's all of a sudden referred to as the "January effect".
Why the sharemarket goes for a run or falls sharply during certain times of the year is the subject of regular speculation. Some call it just a coincidence, others can peer into the crystal ball and see a cyclical or seasonal pattern that financial markets appear to show every year.
Whenever these events occur, there are market observers – especially those with a technical bent – who raise the issue of so-called seasonal patterns.
Right now there are some positive signs for stocks, with valuations supportive and shares still about 9 per cent off the April high of 5000.
But volumes remain light and there is still a mountain of cash sitting on the sidelines indicating that investors are still unsure what to do.
The proportion of super funds (pension funds) assets held in cash rose from 14.3 per cent to 15 per cent in the June quarter, well above the decade average of 9.2 per cent. Super fund holdings of cash assets rose to a record high $158.9 billion in the June quarter.
Looking ahead, April is another month bundled in with the seasonal factors phenomena. It is historically one of the best months of the year for the local sharemarket.

Antique and Vintage Sofas
Earlier 19th and 20th century sofa styles (e.g. Victorian, French and Federal period) tended to be only lightly padded with velvet or needlework covered cushions, leaving much of the wooden frame exposed. Chaise lounge designs (think Freud's couch) were also popular. But by the time Mid-Century Modern and Eames styles came around, couches were fully padded, low to the ground, angular, and often raised off the ground by short legs.
