Delete strongly. On first estimates, US national output rose only 1.1% in the quarter to June, half what was expected. Last year, the US grew just 0.3%, not the 1.2% it first believed. In fact, it was in recession for the first nine months.
It then bounced back with 2.7% growth in the final quarter 2001 and 5% (not 6.1%, as first believed) in the three months to March. The OECD weighed in with a gloomy forecast for the eurozone, seen as growing only 1.25% this year.
The US swings are exaggerated by its quarter-on-quarter measure. But the underlying message is inescapable. Over the winter the US economic engine wheezed into life, helped by interest rate cuts and an end to industry's run-down of stocks. Now it appears to be slowing again. The Federal Reserve's Beige Book says the latest growth is 'modest and uneven'.
Since it is the US that drives the world economy, this is worrying. The estimates may be revised upward, but the news from industry is also dim. The purchasing managers' index, 58.2 in May, slumped to 51.5 in June. 'US recovery is looking anaemic,' says Gerrard economist Simon Rubinsohn.
This is not so good for the dollar, which has been enjoying a recovery against the euro, pushing it down below 98 cents. It is not good news either for savers hoping for a respite from low interest rates. There seems no early case for a rise in the US Federal funds rate, which has been nailed to a 1.75% floor for eight months. There is even talk of another cut.
At home, the Monetary Policy Committee seems likely to peg rates at 4% again today. Retail sales are growing at the slowest rate for 18 months, says the CBI, which said the High Street boom 'seems to be over' as consumers finally ease off, worried by their debt burdens.
The CBI reckons sales, which were running 6% ahead of last year, have slowed to a more sustainable 3.5% to 4%.
We do not need to get too gloomy. Most Western world economies are still growing, slowly. But just as last month's huge share falls were overdone, the sudden rally looks fragile.
Friend in need
THOSE who feared the worst for Friends Provident may have forgotten that the insurer hauled in £1.6bn when it floated last year. Stock market losses may have eroded that, but the group was able to expand its operations in the six months to June, with life and pensions sales 17% higher at £845m and operating profits ahead £36m to £161m.
'Sales up, margins stable, balance sheet robust, good acquisitions,' says chief executive Keith Satchell. Signalling confidence, he lifted dividends 5% to 2.45p, and hopes to pay 7.35p for the year.
Taking over Royal & Sun Alliance's investment side doubled the group's assets to £66bn. Satchell says fears insurers are being forced to sell equities are 'exaggerated'.
That is the good news. The bad news is that no one with £66bn assets can escape when markets crash. Friends' £161m surplus was wiped out by £356m investment losses, and after all charges it lost £224m for the half year - before July's market crash.
It is sharing its pain with customers. Bonuses on with-profit policies are being cut by 6%, making an 11% fall since April. A 25-year endowment policy, with £30,000 paid in, now returns £73,000, down from £77,000 in April, £82,000 in January and £106,000 four years back. Others are slashing bonuses - Axa recently, Royal & Sun Alliance soon. This is tough for savers but does counteract to some extent fears that insurers will collapse. Why should they, if they simply pass the pain on to their policyholders?
The better than expected sales figures lifted the shares 7 3/4p to 140 3/4p, valuing Friends at £2.4bn. The dividend yield is over 5%.
Independent analyst Ned Cazalet is worried about Friends' capital, arguing that its free assets are bolstered by £600m of 'future profits' and another £600m from hiving off endowment liabilities to foreign reinsurers. Satchell says 'The first is a genuine assets, the second a genuine transfer of risk'.
Insurers' accounts are already complex enough. Clearer rules on 'financial engineering' are needed. The Financial Services Authority has just issued a paper on the issue.
Meantime, insurance shares will only be a buy when the last bears have slunk back into the woods.

Hart was relegated to the bench for Saturday's 7-0 mauling of Norwich in the Premier League after several costly mistakes so far this season in goal for City.
His replacement, Costel Pantilimon, had very little to do in the big win and the Romanian is likely to retain his place in goal ahead of Hart for Tuesday's Champions League tie against CSKA Moscow.
Fernandinho says Hart being dropped proves how good the Premier League is in terms of quality and the England international must work hard to rediscover his best form and earn a recall.
The Brazilian said: "If the quality is a bit off you must work harder to recover your position and your best quality. If he at the moment is not (at his best), he must work more hard.
"But they are very good keepers, he and Pantilimon. I think his career will be better for it.
"The manager must choose the best team, and the best keeper for the team.
"I am sure if he played Joe Hart or Costel Pantilimon the team would be superb because they are both very good goalkeepers."

Handling stardom is not easy in Bollywood. Everything actors do is being watched by people around them. The paparazzi does not leave any opportunity to poke into their personal life. But there are some actors who don't let stardom get into their head, while others behave in a very snobby and diplomatic way. Here are some stars who 'handled' and 'mishandled' stardom in different manner. While some get bogged down by the immense 'pressure' to deal with their star status, many learn to handle their status with poise and dignity!
Aamir Khan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan are Bollywood's very famous actors. They both became proud parents last year. Aishwarya gave birth to Aaradhya on 16 November 2011 and Aamir's son Azad Rao Khan was born on 1 December 2011. After the birth of their kids the whole world went crazy to see the little ones photo. But both the stars handled media in a very different manner.
On one hand, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan did everything possible to hide Aaradhya Bachchan from the media. She used all kinds of props, from a folder to a shawl, to hide the baby's face. Not only this, the Bachchan's did not reveal Aaradhya's name for months.
On the other hand, just after the birth of Azad, Aamir announced that his son was born through surrogacy using the IVF (in-vitro fertilization) technique.
On 10th December, Aamir Khan announced the name of his son on Facebook. Aamir Khan wrote, "Hey guys, most excited to share with Y'll that we have finally chosen a name for our baby boy... Azad. Azad Rao Khan. I left the final choice to Kiran, and she has named him after my great grand uncle Maulana Azad, the great freedom fighter, whom the family is most proud of. Azad means free or liberated. We want to thank everyone for their warm wishes and blessings, and needless to say we are absolutely overjoyed and feel most blessed. Much love."
Recently, Aamir Khan was spotted with his eight month old son Azad at the airport. Unlike Aishwarya, Aamir did not play any hide and seek with the media to hide the baby's face.
So, what do you think, who handled their kids better in front of media: Aishwarya or Aamir?

Despite the Hollywood location, things seemed to be rather chilly, and AnnaLynne made sure to cover up with her robe between shots. The sight of AnnaLynne in her bathing costume isn't an infrequent one — in September, AnnaLynne wore a white bikini for another afternoon before the cameras. AnnaLynne and her cast-mates are wrapping up a successful 2011 with their series. She's had a highlight in her personal life, too, teaming up with her Officer Down costar Dominic Purcell off screen.

AN 18-YEAR-OLD man who groomed schoolgirls on Facebook for sex has been jailed for 40 months.
Chester Crown Court heard on Friday how Lewis Thorpe travelled by train from his Nottingham home to meet 14-year-old girls in Warrington to coerce them into having sex.
He added them as 'friends' on Facebook, taking one to have sex on fields at Bennetts Rec, Padgate.
Sentencing Thorpe to a Young Offenders Institute, Judge Andrew Hatton said: "Your victims you met through Facebook and you had cultivated their friendship with a view to having sexual intercourse.
"I anticipate all three victims blame themselves and they should not.
"They should blame an 18-year-old man who should know better.
"You made determined efforts to have sex with girls you knew were only 14 years of age.
"You clearly have a fascination of having sex with girls of a young age.
"You knew it was wrong."
Thorpe, of Gritts Common, Cottsgrave, cried when the verdict was delivered, and sobbed 'oh my God'.
The court heard he was planning to become a student at the University of Chester.
He targeted school girls during the summer holidays in July last year.
Conversations quickly turned sexual with the defendant asking for pictures of them dressed in underwear, and arranging meetings.
He told the first victim he was 16, having consensual sex with her at his home address.
Afterwards he asked her to leave as his dad was returning home from work, and told her directions of how to get to a bus stop.
His second victim lived in Warrington, and knew he was 18.
Also 14, she met him at Warrington Central train station on September 16.
He took her to fields on Bennetts Rec, where they had sex.
The court heard she was 'uncomfortable' and 'frightened', but did not voice any concerns.
She reminded him she was 14, and he said it 'didn't bother him'.
He met the third victim on October 10 in Warrington.
The defendant became angry when the girl refused sex as he had gone to Asda at the Cockhedge Centre to buy condoms, the court heard.
Police were called by her parents who wanted to know where she was, finding Thorpe with her and escorting him back to the train station.
An investigation was launched and found the other victims.
Thorpe pleaded guilty on February 3 to two counts of sexual activity with a child under the age of 16, and one count of meeting a female child under the age of 16 following sexual grooming.
Defending, David Rose, said Thorpe had broken down in tears during the police interview.
He said: "He was deeply distressed and shamed.
"He is a young man with supportive parents...a work ethic, hoping to go to university, courteous on every occasion I have seen him."

More Ag News
Today's (July 5) unemployment report is clear proof that doomsayers who predicted that the federal government spending cuts contained in the sequester would harm economic growth were spectacularly wrong.
The report shows that the private sector gained 202,000 jobs, and taxpayer funded employment continues to fall. This is great news, and an affirmation that the size and scope of government has been a drag on economic growth.
Even with this good news, it is clear that business hiring is still in a wait and see mode as employment increases largely centered on temporary workforce hiring.
Private sector hiring is clearly still in a wait and see mode with Obamacare implementation and a promised regulatory explosion slowing job opportunity creation.
It cannot be lost that the damage done by Obama's $14 trillion four-year spending spree is not easily fixed. It is unacceptable that after all the promises, deficit spending, and massive Federal Reserve money printing, the unemployment rate remains at 7.6 percent, with 16.9 million Americans either unemployed or underemployed.
These 16.9 million who have been left on the sidelines of economic recovery need Congress to act aggressively in defunding those agencies that are killing jobs through Obama's misguided regulatory agenda.
This is a battle worth fighting, because every American deserves a shot at the American dream, and no one should be robbed of hope by the job destroying Obama regulatory state.

Have Relationship Questions? Ask a Counselor for Answers ASAP
It sounds like your anxiety is carrying over into your romantic life. Sometimes when we are anxious we tend to brings things up repeatedly or have a constant need for reassurance. You both play a role in this. It is a little concerning that he doesn't want to talk about this because your best outlet besides your psychiatrist is your closest relationship. I do understand his point but this is still not being as supportive as possible. It is great that he looks out for you. I would also engage in other means to reduce your anxiety. Try things like journaling or written means to resolve intense concerns that can be reduced through finding outlets that you find pleasing. Continue with professional services but focus also on finding outlets yourself that can practiced between sessions.

NETHERFIELD seam bowler Nathan Chambers admits his personal performance combined with his side's victory against Chorley was the perfect Parkside Road tonic.
The 24-year-old claimed 5-41 from 14 overs as Netherfield chased down their victory target with ease, knocking of the winning runs in the 25th over to win by eight wickets.
Chambers also proved a standout performer in his side's TWP Wealth Twenty20 win over Penrith, taking 3-16 from his four overs while only conceding three runs from the final six balls.
And while content with his overall form this season, Chambers was relieved to return to his wicket-taking best and contribute to Netherfield securing a much-needed victory.
"I definitely needed that as I've struggled for the last few weeks and been working hard to get myself back into form," he said.
"It's returned at the right time and I was very pleased with my performance. Bar the last few weeks, I think I've been going pretty well this year and have been contributing.
"Being a touch off form is just cricket and it happens and you cannot always explain it.
"In terms of the team, it was crucial to carry on our brilliant form from the Twenty20s and take it into the league, we were desperate for the win – it was the perfect performance all round.
"It all came together at the weekend and we now need to push ahead with that consistency. If we bat and ball to our maximum we can take anyone on."
Netherfield were scheduled to play a crucial Twenty20 fixture against Kendal at Shap Road last night, before heading to Penrith on Friday night for their penultimate group stage fixture.
High-flying Darwen are the opposition on Saturday in the Northern League before the Parkside Road club head to Lancaster in the Readers Cup on Sunday.
And while Netherfield will have to live without Chambers for their clashes in the shortest form of the game, the right-arm medium-fast bowler fully accepts the importance of upcoming matches.
"Unfortunately I'm unavailable for the Twenty20s but this is a big time of year and we have games coming thick and fast," he added.
"It's the stage of the season that if you put a run together you can be involved in all competitions so it's the time when it all counts and we need to deliver.
"Darwen are going really well but hopefully we can rise to the occasion and continue our momentum. We also did well in the Readers Cup last year before losing in the semis in controversial circumstances.
"Hopefully that can act as inspiration this time around and make us determined to get there again."

Criminal Law
Criminal Law Questions? Ask a Criminal Lawyer.
Hello,My name is XXXXX XXXXX I am an experienced criminal lawyer. The problem is that California's expungement under 120.34 is not a true expungement but in the nature of a set-aside. Unfortunately, it is not recognized by the Federal government for purposes of restoring your Federal gun rights. To get your gun rights back you'd need a California pardon based on a Certificate of Rehabilitation and a finding of innocence. This should satisfy the Federal government,though I must warn you they are difficult if not virtually impossible to get. You can find out more about the certificate on California's self help site as well. You would have to apply to the governor for a pardon and you can find out how to go about that here. This site will also give you a lot of information about the state of the law and the interaction between the California and Federal government in this area, but it won't, unfortunately, provide you with any hope, other than what I've already said above.There are lawyers that specialize in pardons and expungements and restoration of rights. That doesn't change the law in this area, but they may be better able to "package" you for the purposes of the pardon or certificate.Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
Hi Fran,
Thank you for the quick and informational reply. I just had a follow-up question as well. The expungement was supposed to drop my felony to a misdemeanor. Even as a misdemeanor, does that still mean I am not able to restore my gun rights? Therefore, the only option is what you stated earlier as in receiving a pardon?
Thank you,

Be Bop Your Best! - Red Grammer [Red Note Records] Green Gorilla, Monster & Me - Ralph's World [Mini Fresh/Minty Fresh] Scat Like That: A Musical Word Odyssey - Cathy Fink & Marcy Marxer [Rounder Records Corp.] Some Assembly Required - Tom Chapin [Razor & Tie] Songs From The Neighborhood - The Music Of Mister Rogers - Various Artists (Dennis Scott, producer) [Memory Lane Syndications, Inc.] Category 76 - Best Spoken Word Album For Children (For albums consisting of predominantly spoken word vs. music or song.) Harry Potter And The Half-blood Prince - Jim Dale [Listening Library] Marlo Thomas & Friends: Thanks & Giving All Year Long - Various Artists (Christopher Cerf & Marlo Thomas, producers) [Warner Strategic Marketing] Pooh's Heffalump - Roy Dotrice [Walt Disney Records] Raymie, Dickie, And The Bean: Why I Love And Hate My Brothers - Ray Romano [Simon & Schuster Books For Young Readers] A Series Of Unfortunate Events: The Bad Beginning - Various Artists (David Rapkin, producer) [Harper Children's Audio] An appearance by Ralph's World at the Grammy telecast on February 8, 2006 seems highly unlikely. Perhaps Ricky Skaggs (a performer on the Mister Rogers tribute album) will make an appearance, but that will likely be the extent to which nominees in this category will be seen.
Review: Lullabies: A Songbook Companion - Baird, et a
Most lullaby CDs are a little bit painful for the parents to listen to. Cheesy instrumentation and American Idol-style over-emoting. Not to mention the same ten songs on each CD. There's only so many ways you can sing "All the Pretty Little Horses." (Or at least there are only so many ways I've heard.) Thankfully the purpose of most lullaby CDs is such that we parents will not listen to them. But there are times, especially early on in a baby's life, when a little lullaby background music is nice for nursings or bottle-feedings. So the collection from New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art entitled Lullabies: A Songbook Companion came as a welcome relief from the other poor lullaby CDs I avidly bought before our first child's arrival. The album is a family affair -- parents Richard Kapp (piano) and Madeline Kapp (vocals) and daughters Julianne Baird (vocals) and Mela Tenenbaum (violin and viola). So you have classically-trained musicians playing real instruments and knowing when that over-emoting goes so far. (It's on here, but it's kept mostly in check.) And when you have 35 tracks on the CD, clearly there will be a few tracks that will be new to you. The selection reaches across the globe ("Fais Dodo," "Suo Gan") and includes some classical instrumental tracks (such as Schumann's "Traumerei") that may very well be the most relaxing and sleep-inducing on the album. The CD is available either on its own or accompanying a book with assorted child-related art from the Museum's collection and the sheet music. The book also gives the briefest of backgrounds on each song; such descriptions are omitted from the CD's liner notes. Both are available through the Museum itself or online retailers. If you're looking for a lullaby-related gift for parents-to-be, you need look no further than this CD. They may even be listening to it themselves long after their little one is sleeping through the night.
Review: Philadelphia Chickens - Sandra Boynton
It's funny what people remember from their youth. Meals at their grandparents, trips to Disneyland, their first kiss. One of my memories is of a white coffee mug with a cow with a befuddled expression standing on his (or her -- my memory isn't that good, nor was the drawing that detailed) hind legs on a patch of grass somewhere. On the other side, the text -- "For someone outstanding in their field" Still gets me everytime. The creator of that silly mug was illustrator and author Sandra Boynton, who besides countless children's books now has three albums of kid-friendly music to her credit. Her second album, Philadelphia Chickens, was created with her musical collaborator Michael Ford in 2002. Unsurprisingly, given Boynton's talent for anthropomorphizing animals, many of the songs revolve around animals. Some of the songs do so very clearly, such as "Please, Can I Keep It?," an amusing story-song about a ravenous stray pet. Others focus more on their owners, such as the slightly funky "Fifteen Animals." And some have nothing to do with animals at all-- "BusyBusyBusy." In the liner notes to the CD, Boynton mentions that the music came about as a result of her desire to make something a "little more nuanced" than the recordings of perky children's music her children were once given. She wanted to "create an album that would somewhat parallel the soundtrack that ran beneath [her] own childhood," including "Broadway show tunes." Some of the best songs on the album would be perfect in a Broadway review -- "Faraway Cookies" is a note-perfect song about longing. Longing about cookies, yes, but the emotion is surprisingly universal. Another sign that Boynton was really trying to create a Broadway review is the list of performers -- they're much more familiar to fans of the stage and screen than to readers of Billboard. Meryl Streep, Laura Linney, Kevin Kline, even Scott Bakula -- they were recruited to sell the songs. Their voices are pretty good, but the songs are better than you would expect. There's a wide variety of musical styles on the album, but you do have to have a tolerance for show tunes and moderate tempos. Kids aged 4 to 8 would probably appreciate this CD the most. You can either buy the CD separately or with an accompanying book with goofy Boynton drawings and sheet music that is just a bit too advanced for my rudimentary piano skills. The album is recommended, especially if you're looking for a change from your children's-oriented folk or rock music. Oh, and if you want to know the source of this blog's name, check out "Nobody Understands Me." It's not just the mug that stuck with me.

Attached is the Environmental Assessment (EA) and Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) that we have prepared for the above cited PMN submission. When this notification becomes effective, the EA/FONSI should be made available to the public. Please let us know if there is any change in the identity or use of the food contact substance that would be inconsistent with the identity and use described in the FONSI.
John L. Dennison
Environmental Assessment for FCN No. 000021
1. Description of the Proposed Action
The proposed action is to provide for the safe use of 2,2'-methylenebis(4,6-di-tert-butylphenyl)2-ethylhexyl phosphite (CAS Reg. No. 126050-54-2) as an antioxidant and/or stabilizer in high-density polyethylene articles intended for contact with food. The additive shall be used at levels not to exceed 0.15 percent by weight of the high-density polyethylene polymers complying with §177.1520, items 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 3.1a, 3.1b, 3.2a, 3.6 and 5, and having a density of not less than 0.94 g/cc. The finished polymers may only be used in contact with food of the types identified in Table 1 of §176.170(c), under Categories I, II, IV-B, VI-B, VII-B, and VIII under conditions of use B through H described in Table 2 of §176.170(c) and with food of the type identified in Table 1 of §176.170(c), under categories III, IV-A,V, VI-A, VI-C, VII-A, and IX under conditions of use C through G described in Table 2 of §176.170(c). This action was originally requested for Asahi Denka Kogyo K.K., by Japan Technical Information Center, Inc., in Food Additive Petition (FAP) 8B4599, the notice of filing for which was published in the Federal Register on June 23, 1998 [63 FR 34188]. The notice of filing contained the agency's decision that approval of the petition would qualify for a categorical exclusion under 21 CFR 25.32(i). This exclusion is for actions for substances present in finished food-packaging material at not greater than 5 percent-by-weight and that are expected to remain with finished food-packaging material through use by consumers or when the substance is a component of a coating of a finished food-packaging material.
The Food and Drug Administration Modernization Act (FDAMA) of 1997 (Pub. L. 105-115) amended section 409 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the act) to establish a premarket notification (PMN) process as the primary method for authorizing a new use of a food additive that is a food contact substance. Section 409(h)(6) of the act defines a food contact substance as any substance intended for use as a component of materials used in manufacturing, packing, packaging, transporting, or holding food if such use is not intended to have any technical effect in such food. Under the PMN process, a notification becomes effective 120 days after the date of receipt by FDA, unless FDA determines that, based on the data and information before the Agency, the use of the substance is not safe and FDA objects to such notification within 120 days. If FDA does not object within 120 days to the use of a food contact substance that is the subject of a PMN, the substance may be legally marketed for the notified use.
In a letter dated October 26, 1999, the Agency told petitioners and requestors who had pending food additive petitions or threshold of regulation exemption requests involving the use of a food contact substance, that the petitioned or requested action might be eligible for notification under section 409(h) of the FFDCA. The sponsors were told that they could consider withdrawing such a petition or request and resubmiting it as a PMN. In a letter dated December 9, 1999, the petitioner's representative requested that FAP 8B4599 be converted to a PMN.
The types of substances and the uses of such substances under the categorical exclusion in 21 CFR 25.32(i) are the same whether a sponsor submits a food additive petition, a request for exemption from regulation as a food additive under 21 CFR §170.39, or a PMN. However, a categorical exclusion for allowing a PMN to become effective is not currently one of the enumerated types of actions listed in §25.32(i). Therefore, we have prepared this EA for the subject notification.
2. Environmental Consequences of the Proposed Action
This action involves a food contact substance that is a minor component of finished food-packaging materials (<5% by weight of the finished packaging material) that remains with the packaging through use by consumers. We have found that the very small quantities of substances that could potentially enter the environment from this type of use are highly unlikely to have a significant effect on the environment (61 FR 19476 at 19481-82, May 1, 1996). The basis for the Agency's decision to establish the categorical exclusion in §25.32(i) for food additive petitions is the same basis that would be applicable to PMNs. Therefore, the Agency's experience with the food additive petitions that it reviewed to support a categorical exclusion for such actions is relevant to PMNs. The principal routes of environmental introduction of the types of substances included under §25.32(i), whether reviewed in a food additive petition or a PMN, result from their disposal in municipal solid waste combustors or landfills. These routes of disposal are governed by the regulations of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in 40 CFR part 60 (combustors) and part 258 (landfills). Based on the low levels of use of these substances in packaging material, the introduction of combustion products or introductions at landfill sites are not environmentally significant. The notifier states that the proposed maximum level of the additive in the food-packaging material will be not greater than 5 percent by weight and that it is expected to remain with the finished food packaging material through use by consumers. Because of the nature of this type of action, we do not expect that any limited increase in environmental introductions resulting from this proposed action will threaten a violation of EPA's regulations governing combustors and landfills or have any other adverse environmental effects.
In the claim of categorical exclusion in FAP 8B4599, the petitioner certified that no extraordinary circumstances were expected that would preclude this use from a categorical exclusion. We do not believe that the conversion of this petition to a PMN would alter the fact that no extraordinary circumstances are likely to occur as a result of this action.
3. Alternatives to the Proposed Action
Alternatives to the proposed action need not be considered, because no potential adverse environmental effects have been identified.

Finding of No Significant Impact
A Premarket Notification (FCN No. 000020), submitted by Ashai Denka Kogyo, K.K. to provide for the safe use of 2,2'-methylenebis(4,6-di-tert-butylphenyl)2-ethylhexyl phosphite as an antimicrobial and/or stabilizer in linear low density polyethylene articles intended for food contact.
The Environmental Review Team has determined that allowing this notification to become effective will not significantly affect the quality of the human environment and therefore will not require the preparation of an environmental impact statement. This finding is based on an environmental assessment prepared by a scientist on the Environmental Review Team.

Dear Wendy: "What's The Kindest Way To Break Up With Six Men?"
Wendy is on vacation, so we'll be posting some of her more popular past Dear Wendy columns (that some of you may have missed!) to get you through the week.
I've recently started dating in a normal, orderly way like other people date; formerly, I have only had long-term relationships which just sort of happened, no dates required. I've gone on dates with many men, with the goal of getting to know each of them before I choose to make a more serious commitment to any particular one. The problem is that they all seem to be really, really into me. As in, they want to bring me home to meet their parents. They call me pet names, they call me every day, my ears get sore from staying on the phone all night. They wonder what our babies would look like. It's too much. And, just for the reference, these are all men I have known for less than one month, some I have not even kissed.
I have, happily, found that I'm more "into" one of the guys than the others, so it's time for me to cut a few of them loose. The reason I am writing is because I am terribly, terribly bad at breaking up with people. Even if I'm not even technically in a relationship, I am bad at dishing out rejection. I am nice to a fault. What's worse is I now have to do it six times! Yes, that's right, six. I got a little in over my head! I know that the longer I delay the inevitable, the worse it is going to be. I am tempted to just fade out on them, but that's kind of heartless. I hate to see people let down, and there's no way to do this without inflicting some pain. It fills me with dread and keeps me awake at night. Since I'm going to have to do this, what would help me infinitely would be a script that I could follow. Can you help? — Too Nice For My Own Good
The short answer here is to tell each of the six men you want to "break up" with that you've enjoyed getting to know them, but you've recently started dating someone you really click with and you've decided to become exclusive with him. Then tell them you've enjoyed their company and you wish them well. Since you've been going out with each of these men less than a month, and haven't even kissed some of them, I'd say this is the most you owe and you can deliver the message in an email. Hit "send" and be done with it. If they reply with anything other than well wishes for you, ignore them. You do not need to tolerate name-calling, character-bashing, or questions about your decision. None of these men are boyfriends; you have not formed real relationships with any of them, and you don't owe any more information than what you've given: a reason that's as straightforward as they come.
What concerns me, TNFMOG, is that you seem to truly believe a rejection from you is going to tear these men apart. I don't know if that speaks to an inherent sense of narcissism on your part, an unusual amount of sympathy, or a similar experience in your own past that left you emotionally worse-for-wear, but the truth is: these guys are going to be just fine. And if they aren't? Well, that says more about their overall mental stability than some hold you might think you have on them. If you've been balancing six men — seven, if you count the one you've decided to become serious with — for less than a month, I can't imagine you've had time to invest much in each one or to form very meaningful bonds with any of them.
What I imagine is happening here is that you attract a very needy type of man. Your all-inclusive dating style means you've probably let men into your life who are often over-looked by others. It makes sense, then, that they'd instantly latch onto the one woman who's given them a shot, particularly if you're pretty and have other nice qualities. If you genuinely thought all six of these men had boyfriend potential, then more power to you for getting to know them and testing that potential. But if you went out with even one of them because you were "too nice" to reject him from the get-go, that's actually crueler than giving him a firm "no" before leading him on for several weeks.
I do genuinely wish you well with the man you've decided to become exclusive with, but if things don't work out between you and you find yourself back on the market, I urge you to be more discerning in choosing a date. You do not have to go out with every man who asks you. If you're not attracted or interested in the guy and don't see any boyfriend potential there for you, saying "no" sooner rather than later is so much easier — and kinder — on you both.

VA-BLOC hosted book drives at Hampton Main Library, the Hampton Sheriff's Office, local churches and its own office on Settlers Landing Road. Books were donated by members of the community and sorted by VA-BLOC volunteers for distribution.
"Every day we just went to the locations just picking up books and picking up books," said Darius Swift, VA-BLOC's...

Chris Henry had several arrests and run-ins with the law before his shocking death last December, when he died while falling or jumping from the the back of a pickup truck driven by his fiancee during a domestic dispute. Now it turns out he also had one other serious problem.
The former Cincinnati Bengals receiver has been identified as the first NFL player to have died with trauma-induced brain damage while still active in the National Football League, according to a New York Times report.
Today, a report from the Brain Injury Research Institute at West Virginia University is expected to announce that Henry had already developed chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a brain disease. The discovery of CTE in some retired NFL players has fueled debate about the dangers of playing football.
(Here's a Chris Henry photo gallery)
Henry was 26 when he died and is the youngest NFL example of CTE, according to the Times. The previous youngest was lineman Justin Strzelczyk, 36, who had been retired from the Pittsburgh Steelers for five years before his death in 2004.
Sean Morey, a special-teams player for Seattle who's co-chair of the players association's brain-injury committee, told the Times: "It's very emotional to hear — it rattles me . . . The fact that this has been found (in an active player) I think it's sobering. You have to ask yourself how many are playing the game today that have this and don't even know about it."
CTE evidence can be detected only by examing brain tissue after death. There's no way to test for it in a living player, according to the Times.

Emma Thompson to Be Honored with Handprint-Footprint Ceremony at SAVING MR. BANKS AFI Fest Opening, 11/7
Academy Award-winning actress Emma Thompson will be honored with a handprint-footprint ceremony at the Opening Night Gala of AFI Fest 2013 presented by Audi, featuring Disney's "Saving Mr. Banks," in which Thompson stars as "Mary Poppins" author P.L. Travers, on Thursday, November 7th at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood.
Inspired by true events, "Saving Mr. Banks" is the extraordinary, untold story of how Walt Disney's classic "Mary Poppins" made it to the screen and also stars Tom Hanks, Paul Giamatti, Jason Schwartzman, Bradley Whitford, Annie Rose Buckley, Ruth Wilson, B.J. Novak, Rachel Griffiths, Kathy Baker and Colin Farrell.
When Walt Disney's daughters begged him to make a movie of their favorite book, P.L. Travers' "Mary Poppins," he made them a promise-one that he didn't realize would take 20 years to keep. In his quest to obtain the rights, Walt comes up against a curmudgeonly, uncompromising writer who has absolutely no intention of letting her beloved magical nanny get mauled by the Hollywood machine. But, as the books stop selling and money grows short, Travers reluctantly agrees to go to Los Angeles to hear Disney's plans for the adaptation.
For those two short weeks in 1961, Walt Disney pulls out all the stops. Armed with imaginative storyboards and chirpy songs from the talented Sherman brothers, Walt launches an all-out onslaught on P.L. Travers, but the prickly author doesn't budge. He soon begins to watch helplessly as Travers becomes increasingly immovable and the rights begin to move further away from his grasp.
It is only when he reaches into his own childhood that Walt discovers the truth about the ghosts that haunt her, and together they set Mary Poppins free to ultimately make one of the most endearing films in cinematic history.
Disney presents "Saving Mr. Banks," directed by John Lee Hancock, produced by Alison Owen, Ian Collie and Philip Steuer, and screenplay written by Kelly Marcel and Sue Smith. Executive producers are Paul Trijbits, Andrew Mason, Troy Lum and Christine Langan. The film will release in U.S. theaters on December 13, 2013, limited, and open wide on December 20, 2013.

Need Appliance Repair Help? Ask a Technician for Answers ASAP
Thank you for using Just Answer.
Try this -
Open the freezer door. Push in the door switch to "trick" the refrigerator into thinking that the door is closed. Listen to see if you can hear the fan. Do you hear it?
Do you have any frost on the back panel?
Have you removed the back panel to see if there is excessive frost and/or ice there? -
What we would like to determine is if there is excessive frost/ice on the evaporator coils behind the back panel in the freezer.
Ice there would mean the the defrost system is not working correctly and this will not allow the air the flow into the refrigerator.
We're not trying to just defrost the refrigerator. We want to know if the refirgerator is not doing it correctly.
If you have a lot of food you certainly don't have to do it tonight. I can check back with you tommorrow or when ever you respond again to this post. I check in every day.
Let's try this (maybe tommorrow or whenever you can) -
Here's a way to determine if the problem is with the self-defrosting system. Remove all of the perishable food from the refrigerator and freezer, turn the thermostat in the refrigerator to Off, and leave the doors open for 24 to 48 hours. (Be sure to have several towels ready in case the melting frost and ice causes the drip pan to overflow).
This allows the refrigerator to defrost "manually." When the frost and ice build-up has completely melted away, turn the thermostat back to a normal setting. If the refrigerator then cools properly, it indicates a problem with one of three components in the self-defrosting system:
If it still does not cool properly, there may be a problem with the refrigerant level or the compressor. You may need to consult with a repair technician to further diagnose the problem because working with the compressor and refrigerant require training.
This way we don't have to take the refrigerator apart to get an understanding of what's going on.

Rethinking What's Possible
Our Rethinking What's Possible workshop is a 2-hour experience which brings the village classroom to you, and creates a learning environment that is as powerful as it is profound.
This workshop is an interactive session that will challenge your assumptions about what's limiting your capacity. You will discover how The Hunger Project works with women and men who are transforming their entire communities despite having limited resources, education and positional authority. We will also invite you to consider your role and involvement in the end of hunger.
The beginning of "Rethinking What's Possible"
The Hunger Project is the world's largest leadership and training organisation working throughout Africa, South Asia, and Latin America, committed to empowering people to end their own hunger.
Working in 24,000 villages and impacting 19 million people, The Hunger Project has developed a unique and highly strategic approach to leadership.
With all the reasons why it's not possible, the poorest of the poor are rethinking what is possible. They may be non-literate, but they are getting water to their villages, stopping child marriages and creating new businesses. They are achieving results in the harshest of conditions.
We believe that the most outstanding examples of courageous and effective leadership producing transformational outcomes today are happening in the remote, rural villages where The Hunger Project works.
Whether you live in a rural village in India, or a major city in Australia, there is a leader inside of everyone who is capable of the most profound transformations, be it in family, organisation or world.
What's possible for you?
The Hunger Project has decoded the lessons learnt from our leaders in developing countries and applied them to Australian setting. That same ability to move from "I can't" to "I can" to "We can" is available for us in Australia too for the first time.
The Rethinking What's Possible workshop gives you the opportunity to see how questioning your own beliefs can result in extraordinary outcomes.
The 2 hour "Rethinking What's Possible" workshop will uncover these learnings for you.
At the Rethinking What's Possible workshop, we will:
- Share the inspiring stories of our village partners
- Recalibrate your perspective with examples of what's possible in your life
- Challenge your assumptions about what's limiting your capacity
- Explore why your mindset is key, and how entrenched beliefs can be transformed
- Give you insights into the work of The Hunger Project and invite you to consider your role in ending hunger

No two industries were more affected by the explosion in 2010 of the Deepwater Horizon oil rig than restaurant/hospitality and commercial fishing on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. The oil spill that spewed hundreds of millions of gallons of crude oil into the Gulf of Mexico kept tourists away and left Gulf Coast-caught seafood with a black eye among consumers.
However, a new promotional effort has been launched to assist those industries' recovery, and it is being funded by BP, the owner of the Deepwater Horizon.
Inspired by the success of the Mississippi Blues Trail and Mississippi Country Music Trail, just this month Mike Cashion, CAE, executive director of the Mississippi Hospitality & Restaurant Association (MHRA), unveiled the new Seafood Trails Program, a tourism-promotion initiative that spotlights restaurants that offer Coast-caught seafood.
Cashion explained that last year's program "Every Shrimp Has a Tale" — also funded by a BP Tourism Promotional Fund grant (part of BP's settlement with the Plaintiff's Steering Committee in the wake of the oil spill) and aimed at giving consumers a chance to track their shrimp from the Gulf to their plate — was successful, and BP wanted a similar program this year. However, the Every Shrimp Has a Tale Program was limited to a 13-week run, was very technical and expensive, relying entirely on BP funding. So, looking to 2014 Cashion had a different vision.
"I wanted to create a legacy program, one that was less technical and expensive and could stand on its own and benefit restaurants and the seafood industry long after the BP grant money is gone," Cashion said. "We have music trails here in Mississippi, and other states have culinary or food trails. We're looking to do the same here in Mississippi, creating a trail that is more narrowly focused on seafood from the Gulf of Mexico."
To be considered for inclusion in the Seafood Trails Program, restaurants must offer at least five menu items featuring seafood caught in the Gulf of Mexico through Dec. 14. Cashion and Grady Griffin, MHRA's educational director, will oversee the project, and a focus group will manage marketing and advertising as well as media purchases.
Other criteria include:
» During the time periods selected, participating restaurants must exhibit marketing material as provided and as applicable.
» Participating restaurants agree to train and educate their staff on the Seafood Trails Program to enhance the guest experience. The MHRA will, at the invitation of the participant, provide on-location service training for the participating restaurant at no cost to the restaurant.
» The MHRA will play no role in either pricing of product or pricing of menu items. Securing approved product is the responsibility of participating restaurants, and the MHRA will provide consultation whenever possible.
» For grant reporting purposes, participating restaurants must submit to MHRA data on any sales increase or decrease over the same period from the previous year and provide operator feedback on the pros and cons of the program.
» Participating restaurants agree to comply with the provisions of the program's memorandum of understanding. Under no circumstances may participating restaurants misrepresent product being featured in the Seafood Trails Program. Featured products must be of Gulf of Mexico origin.
» Participating restaurants will be subject to random product audits to ensure the integrity of the marketing claim.
In the event of a material breach of any of the provisions of this agreement, the MHRA reserves the right to discontinue the participation of the non-compliant restaurant.
Cashion emphasized that the Seafood Trails is a pilot program, and is currently open to Coast restaurants only. However, if the program shows returns, the trail could expand in the future to included any Mississippi restaurant meeting the program's requirements.
Backers are buoyed be the early response. Cashion held a news briefing on the new initiative in Gulfport on Wednesday, May 7. More than two dozen restaurateurs attended. By Friday, May 9, Cashion had "a stack" of applications from prospective program participants on his desk.
"All I kept hearing from attendees (of the news briefing) was, 'This is a no-brainer,'" Cashion said, "and we have gotten heavy media coverage."
When asked if he felt that the public relations nightmare cause by the 2010 oil spill was behind local restaurants and the Mississippi seafood industry, Cashion hesitated, then said, "Well, it's changing."

As foreclosures resulting from subprime mortgages take a devastating toll on communities across the country, Senators John Kerry (D-Mass.) and Gordon Smith (R-Ore.) and are urging the Finance Committee to include mortgage financing assistance in the economic stimulus package currently being developed.
"There's no decent economic stimulus package that doesn't help save families from foreclosure. Today we have middle class homeowners barely hanging on to their homes and in dire need of relief," said Kerry. "We want an economic stimulus bill that allows state and local housing agencies to issue additional tax exempt bonds to help more families refinance loans, stay in their homes and limit the number of vacant houses and buildings popping up in our neighborhoods. This is a rough time on both Main Street and Wall Street, and we must do all we can to make sure that short term pain is relieved before it gives way to a long term recession. I want to thank Sen. Smith for working with me on this effort."
"When a family loses its home, no matter the reason, the entire community suffers both emotionally and economically," Smith said. "We must make help available to those who need it most."
It is estimated that roughly 2.5 million mortgages were in default in the third quarter of 2007 - a 40 percent increase from 2005. Under current law, state and local governments may issue bonds to finance new mortgage loans to first-time homebuyers. Legislation proposed by Senators Smith and Kerry (S. 2517) would temporarily expand the use of this program to include refinancing of subprime loans. The proposal would also allow states to issue up to $15 billion in additional bonds over the next 3 years. This would allow first-time homebuyers facing foreclosure the opportunity to refinance at a safe, fair rate.
The Committee on Finance is currently working to develop an economic stimulus package. The legislation is expected to be debated later this month.

In 2012, Lodi officials were surprised to learn from the state that the city had the second-highest crime rate in San Joaquin County. Lodi Neighborhood Services Manager Joseph Wood thought that the rating was odd since three cities — Stockton, Manteca and Tracy — have a greater population than Lodi.
Through two state grants, the city began a program called LodiGRIP, also known as the Lodi Gang Reduction, Intervention, Prevention program, which Wood said has been highly successful in combating gang activity.

Indeed, today's European Union resembles more the ineffectual Articles of Confederation, which governed the United States from 1777 to 1787, than the U.S. Constitution with its strong central government. The Confederation's Article II declared that "each state retains its sovereignty, freedom, and independence, and every power, jurisdiction, and right, which is not by this Confederation expressly delegated."
The United States wasn't really even a government or a nation then. It was called "a firm league of friendship" among the states. General George Washington was particularly contemptuous of this concept of "state sovereignty" because he had watched his soldiers freeze and starve when the states reneged on promised contributions to the Continental Army.
So, with George Washington in the lead and fellow Virginian James Madison serving as architect, some of America's most distinguished citizens, including Franklin, met in secret in Philadelphia to devise a governing framework that eliminated the independence of the states and subsumed their sovereignty into a binding Union.
