(July 20, 2011) The Italian government approved an austerity package on July 15, 2011, aimed at achieving a balanced budget in 2014. It is reported to include budget cuts of €48 billion (about US$67 billion) over three years. (Emanuela Santoro, Austerity Package Approved by Government, TNS ONLINE (July 18, 2011), International Bureau of Fiscal Documentation online subscription database; Italian Senate Passes Austerity Package, BBC NEWS (July 14, 2011).)
The Law of July 15, 2011, No. 111, Conversion into Law, with Amendments, of Decree-Law July 6, 2011, No. 98, Containing Urgent Provisions for Financial Stabilization, was published in the OFFICIAL GAZETTE on July 16. (Legge 15 luglio 2011, n. 111, Conversione in legge, con modificazioni, del decreto-legge 6 luglio 2011, n. 98 recante disposizioni urgenti per la stabilizzazione finanziaria. (11G0153), 164 GAZZETTA UFFICIALE DELLA REPUBBLICA ITALIANA (July 16, 2011).) Some of the key elements of the Law have been summarized as follows.
Revenue measures:
- Privatization of state-controlled entities;
- Increased taxes for holders of financial instruments above certain amounts;
- A higher tax rate for banks, financial/insurance companies, and insurers;
- Limits on companies' loss carry forward option;
- Additional taxation of variable compensation, such stock options and bonuses, for managers;
- Increased gasoline and diesel tax;
- Increased road tax for large automobiles; and
- Amnesty for minor tax disputes upon payment of a small amount or of a percentage of the disputed amount. (Santoro, supra.)
Spending cuts:
- 10% reduction in public financing for political parties and limits on compensation for elected officials;
- Reduced funding for town councils and provinces;
- Reduced medical expenditures by the state;
- A freeze on public servants' salaries until 2014;
- Savings from state pensions by means of delayed retirement (for women in the private sector, the retirement age will be changed from 60 years old to 65, as of 2032) and imposition of a tax on pensions over € 90,000 (about US$126,650); and
- Introduction of automatic increases to the retirement age on the basis of regular assessments of life expectancy. (Id.)
The Law also includes, among other features, tax breaks for young entrepreneurs. (Id.; for a comparison of the text of Decree-Law No. 98 and the changes made by conversion Law No. 111, see Legge Stabilizzazione Finanziaria 2011, LAVOROROBERTO.IT (last visited July 19, 2011) [choose the hyperlink Decreto Legge 6 luglio 2011, n.98 – Disposizioni urgenti per la stabilizzazione finanziaria (G.U. 6 luglio 2011 n. 155) con le modifiche apportate dalla legge di conversione 15 luglio 2011, n. 111 (G.U. 16 luglio 2011 n. 167)].)
An initial proposal to permit only 1% of certain infrastructure assets to be amortized was discarded after infrastructure companies, like toll road operator Atlantia, raised an outcry and warned that such a measure would hinder investment in Italy. The ceiling would have raised the taxes owed by such companies because it would have extended the period during which they would have had to deduct motorway asset costs; to compensate for its missed savings, the government will reduce the tax deduction options available in connection with a "clean-up fund" paid into by the infrastructure groups. (Giuseppe Fonte & Stefano Bernabei, UPDATE 1-Italy Budget to Lift Infrastructure Amortisation Cap, REUTERS (July 12, 2011).)
Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has characterized Italy as being "on the front line of the eurozone's economic difficulties," and Finance Minister Giulio Tremonti stated in Parliament "the monster debt from our past will swallow up our future'' unless the budget were adopted. Earlier in July, moreover, the International Monetary Fund had requested Italy to ensure the "decisive implementation" of spending cuts. (Italian Senate Passes Austerity Package, supra.)
The text of Law No. 111 as coordinated with Law No. 98 reportedly will be published in issue number 171 of the OFFICIAL GAZETTE, on July 25, 2011. (Manovra: in Gazzetta la Legge di conversione 111-2011, WARRANT GROUP (July 18, 2011).)

10 Terrible Photos That People Actually Paid For
I own a DSLR camera. But when I purchased that camera, I didn't "become" a photographer. Just like buying DJ equipment doesn't "mean" you're a DJ. Just like buying a stethoscope won't "make" you a doctor. You get my point. When it comes to professional photography, there is so much more to know beyond "auto".
But not everyone is concerned with all that technical photo mumbo-jumbo. Some folks think that buying an expensive camera not only makes you a photographer, but justifies starting your own photography business! It is that very mentality that fueled the inspiration behind the website YouAreNotAPhotographer.com, which describes their mission in their "about" section:
How many people do you know that bought a nice camera, started a Facebook page and called it a photography business? Having a DSLR does not make you a professional photographer. We're outing these no talents with daily pictures from the worst of the web. We only post pictures that were from a photography "business," and we use that term lightly.
Just think about how many times you see these types of bad photos in your very own news feed! Here are a few of our favorites from the site, and remember… these photos aren't from family or friends that have a "nice" camera… a photography "business" took these photos, and people actually paid for them!

2003 Chevrolet Cavalier Problems
RepairPal has identified the most common problems with the 2003 Chevrolet Cavalier based on complaints from actual vehicle owners. We'll tell you what the problem is and what it'll take to fix it.
A door window may move slowly or stop in mid travel due to a failing power window motor. The affected window may start working again after the motor cools off. Replacing the faulty window motor will commonly correct this concern.
Front brake rotors can wear causing a pulsation felt in the brake pedal. Our technicians tell us this condition is best corrected by replacement of the front rotors and brake pads.
Brake fluid can become dirty and may cause problems in the brake system; it should be flushed every 60,000 miles.
The turn signal switch in the steering column may fail causing the turn signals not to work on one or both sides.
Illumination of the Check Engine Light may be the result of a loose or worn gas cap.
The rubber section of an automatic transmission cooler line may develop a fluid leak . In some cases the leaking section of hose can be replaced. In others, the complete cooler line must be replaced to correct this concern.
The fuel pump may fail causing the engine to stall and not restart.
You may be able to prevent transmission problems by servicing the transmission and inspecting the fluid every 30,000 miles. If the fluid is dark or burned then the transmission system should be completely flushed.
The engine vacuum hose to the MAP sensor may crack resulting in a vacuum leak causing the engine to run rough and/or stall.
The ignition module or an ignition coil may fail, causing an engine misfire, the Check Engine Light may or may not illuminate. Diagnoses will be required to determine the cause and needed repair.
The 2.3L 4 cylinder engine can be prone to head gasket failure. This can result in coolant loss and engine overheating.
The serpentine belt tensioner can fail; it may become noisy and/or the belt may jump off. Replacement of the failed tensioner will be necessary.
The ignition module or crankshaft position sensor may fail causing the engine to die and not restart. Diagnoses will be necessary to determine if the module or crank sensor is causing the no start condition.

The expert's husband heard miaows as he was unloading items for her exhibit, and Borridge the cat was found.
"He had gone to sleep on some grass in the back of the lorry," said Ms McVicar who has won gold medals at Chelsea in eight previous years.
"They caught him and he went back home in the cab of the vehicle," she said.
Jekka McVicar, whose herb farm is at Alveston, Thornbury, near Bristol, has published several books and broadcast a series of programmes about herbs on BBC Radio 4.
She has appeared on the BBC television programmes Gardeners' World and Tracks, and on Bloom on Channel 4.
As well as having her own exhibit at Chelsea, she has this year supplied thousands of herb plants - including catmint - for one of the main show gardens, The 4head Garden.

Is there some sort of 'Dog Introduction Ettiquette' I don't know about?(36 Posts)
Because (and I may be being over-sensitive) I have noticed that a lot of people seem to want to hurry their dogs along just when mine begins to amble over for a good bum-sniffing.
It isn't that they're in a special hurry, I don't think, as I often see them bimbling along some time later.
It saddens me a bit when this happens, as my dog always seems to get much less out of a walk when she hasn't had any fun doggy encounters.
A friend has suggested that it's breed snobbery: I don't want to think this, but on reflection it really does generally seem to be people with 'purebred' dogs who do it. Ours is a mutt- a Rottie/Alsatian cross getting on in years, and a real sweetheart (I may be biased).
By the way, I am referring to dogs who are off the leash here- I would tend to assume that they haven't got behavioural issues that mean they need to be steered away from other dogs.
Anyway, I'd be grateful to hear about your experiences with this- or whether perhaps there is something I can do from my end (re-assure the owner by calling across to them that she's already had breakfast?). Obviously, most doggy people are friendly and do stop and chat, but we do have some mornings (like today) where my poor hound comes home looking a bit depressed. Anthropomorphism? Me?!
He's fine greeting dogs now - the kangaroo ing comes on lead walking to the park or beach when everything is simply far too exciting
saintly don't say that! I live in hope that the more dogs he meets my boy will settle! I know 3 is supposed to be the magic age when retrievers calm down but I don't want to deal with kangaroos till then!
He lives up to his name in that he LOVES retrieving, I'm lucky to have a 2 acre field where I can let him off lead every day. If I can get him under control there hopefully I can take the training through to walks.
Helga - god I had to check and see I hadn't written your post.
I have a 2 year old retriever who people laugh at on account of his kangaroo impressions. He also has no interest in treats at the park, and so was a bit of a nightmare, until he learned to retrieve. Now if we're out with a ball he listens carefully and will do exactly as told - the ball is his reward and it has really helped with outdoor training.
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
my dog is every puppy's friend - same mental age! She is 6.5 to half lab/mutt.
she is a domineering sod though. she has to be the boss and exerts this by standing over smaller dogs - needless to say she gets short shrift from them and never hangs around to be told twice! Puppies, however, instantly lie down and massage her ego, they then play happily together.
Our walks tend to be in a specified dog walking area, so if you go in there it is expected that your dog is a) ok with other dogs and b) well behaved.
aside from JRT straddling, my dog is well behaved
and expert ball stealer
We met a new dog this morning, who was lovely natured and very bouncy. Bit bigger and broader than mine, but my little miss liked him as he didn't overdo it and ran off chasing a squirrel. Mine would have run with him if I didn't have her on the lead, not that squirrels bother her, she just likes running.
I did meet a lady who said her rescue dog doesn't like any dogs, but as I know how males all love my girl , so far, I wasn't worried. Lady wouldn't risk them meeting up close, though.
my older dog is just very anti social
she is far too sensible for other dogs you know
It's the both owners being happy that is the important bit .
Thanks for all the helpful replies- I imagine you're probably representative, and it sounds like a fair mix of good reasons. Most days we do meet one or two dogs she can greet (she's not quite as puppyish as I may have made her sound- she's 7 and only gets bouncy with one or two particular dogs she really gets one with). She's really quite calm and I wouldn't read her behaviour towards other dogs as 'pushy' or 'rude' in any way. She doesn't insist on going up if the dog clearly has no interest in meeting- she just alters course and walks on. Even if not, her recall is good.
I am not as seasoned a dog owner as you all sound, I admit; my partner has had dogs over the years but I've only had this one, and she came to us as a foster placement who stayed. We've learned together though, over the last couple of years but there are definitely some gaps in my education! Which brings me to the puppies thing: we meet a lot of boisterous pups, and my dog tolerates them very well. If they go too far, though, she will give them a maternal cuff, without hurting them. (I usually stop things before this happens, though it happens fairly rarely.) So... I kind of thought that this was part of the socialisation of dogs. Puppies want to jump up and play, and older dogs put them in their place if they get over-excited. I've approached this as a managed encounter, with both owners properly engaged and aware (if that makes sense?).
Any tips gratefully received!
Feels like catch 22 doesn't it? But I can't risk it because he is a menace when it comes to bothering people.
fan - mine is the same, he's actually allowed off lead now, but he has no recall and no blooming manners, so I don't let him off. He's also still not allowed to play roughly and that is all he wants to do, so even with dogs I know well and who would play with him I can't let him anyway. So I've been using a harness and a flexi lead and sticking him on his real lead when another dog or person comes along.
Because mine is so big, I can't risk him bouncing on other dogs or a person, it's just not fair to them, so it's just a case of making sure he never gets the chance to.
I'm more than happy to get the chance for him to say hello to other dogs - I just keep a tight hold of him so that he gets to sniff and the second a paw leaves the ground I have him away, but people see him from about 200 yards away and quickly round up their dogs and go the other way, lol.
fan I honestly think we have the same dog!! I'm just about to start on Total Recall as well. My boy will do anything for treats at home but once we're out he doesn't care. Luckily we do meet a few dogs that let bailey say hello but I do feel bad for him when every dog ignores him.
lots of dogs don't like exuberant puppies and lots of people don't find your puppy particularly adorable or cute when its terrorising their dog.
I would walk away from you but mainly because my dogs are nervous of dogs and I would worry they would start.
But I know what you mean I have staffies and they always get walked away from.
It was the dog who was unhappy btw not the trainer! He didn't even give up with a warning air snap. I'm hoping if I keep up preventative measures to stop him having too much freedom he'll grow out of it but fear I am mistaken.
He won't pause for anything Floral. We have only just managed to get him to do a quick watch me for treats. At puppy class he wouldn't touch chicken or cheese even if he didn't have to do anything for it. He is not interested in toys or balls uf he is out. He just wants to runs like maniac jumping up at dogs and people. Everyone always comments how friendly and good natured he is but unfortunately this manifests itself as him wanting to go and say hello to anyone and anything in an excitable manner.
He really isn't that food motivated. It worls well for clicker training commands at home and for instance out and about for lead walk training if no one else is about. I have been working through Pippa Mattinsons Total Recall book but we hit a brick wall as soon as meals were the reward for responding. He looked at me like I was mad and sauntered off and went to sleep. Since then he is reluctant to get off his bum even for hot chicken. He comes, but only after he's spent a minute or two assessing if it is really worth his effort. The trouble is it works on the premise that food is your dogs ultimate goal but he's not fussed. He regularly leaves meals.
He loves to play and I have tried special toys only appearing at the crucial moment. Our puppy trainer did bring her adult dog in to do some one on one but he drove her mad to the point where she was getting unhappy. The only dog he has 'listened' to is my uncles barky spaniel where he instantly offers calming signals and respects his space though they did play. Trainer just said to keep distracting and walk away if he continues to be impolite. Trouble is if he sees a dog he just takes flight and nothing will stop him
He is lovely natured in every other way but is such an attention junkie. I think he would be an outrageous and very cack handed flirt were he human!
Just looking at your post again, I think the answer lies in what you have written.
good bum sniffing
fun doggy encounters
For Gymdog (and therefore by extension for me) bum sniffing is not 'good' and doggy encounters are not 'fun'.
I suspect you and your dog look around your field in a friendly and welcoming manner. That would be enough to send us to the other side
fan can you not get him back if he is going to harass other dogs by use of a toy /ball/ roast chicken ? Perhaps hire a trainer with a dog they can bring to practice with ?
we quickly move on as although foolishdog has improved greatly with much training...she still gets stressed if a dog won;t leave her alone when she has had enough. With dogs i know who will say hi then potter along beside us i can be less pro-active.
Many females don't like too much avid bum sniffing which usually is done by the males.
I find a dog's body language is very clear. But sometimes a new dog can be uncertain. Like yesterday.
I am never worried when my little female dog meets a male dog < she is a little wary of all dogs> and until yesterday all females have been fine, except another small dog - Bichon Frise- was a bit off with mine as mine is not boisterous and perhaps has an aloof posture, and didn't respond to her play invite.
The Bichon barked and put her head low and pointed her nose towards her. The tone of her bark was " so, I m not good enough to play with then!!"
Both 2 years old. Mine didn't say a word. We both decided they didn't get on so moved on.
I have 'the pup who just wants to say hi'. I am aware that this is a huge problem for other dogs but I am now at a stage where I am struggling to know what to do.
We did puppy classes and he spent half his time on a time out. I can now get him to do a watch me and sit before greeting another dog on lead but the second he has his treat he is swinging on the end of his lead. I am at a stage now where he is only off lead a couple of times a week when I can take him into the woods where I find him easier to manage. I can spot other people approaching and lead him. If I don't he hares off to leap on dogs a great distance away and I can't manage the situation. We are in catch 22 now where he gets little or no off lead play as I have to have him on lead before dogs arrive as he is just in their face otherwise.
The watch mes and walking away only break his attention in the moment and he is 0 - 60 again if allowed to reapproach. He is so bright at learning commands but other dogs are his holy grail and I am starting to wonder if we will spend our whole lives on lead unless really isolated.
Anyone have any advice?
My dog does not Do Play and gets very irritated by dogs that do. If I see a dog I don't know who looks bouncy or over interested I walk in the opposite direction. Prevention is so much easier for everyone involved. Bouncy dogs that we do know where I know the owner can and will call them off are fine and good for Gymdog's continuing socialisation though I too stick to the 3 second rule.
A lot of my assessment of an unknown dog will also concentrate on the owner and if they are wearing earphones/talking on a phone/taking no notice of their dog then I will steer clear. (not suggesting you are one of these owners!)
My dog only likes to be briefly sniffed. Too long and she gets cross especially if it's a small dog. She has certain dogs that she likes and will sniff and play. I don't let her be sniffed on lead - she really hates that!
I have an 11 month Golden Retriever who does a kangaroo impression on the lead when he sees another dog. I think this worries people a bit! Which is really unfortunate because he is sooo friendly and loves to meet other dogs. He is a bit wary of smaller dogs (especially westies as the local one tends to just bark and growl at him) but loves big dogs. (On lead as recall is a work in progress).
Is there a way to train him to be a bit calmer?? I think I just thought it was how he is.
I'd hurry away because my dog hates having his bum sniffed and would be very vocal about it. He has behavioural issues but still needs to be exercised.

You can't "simply know", it's always going to be a balance of probabilities. That's a given. The question is, how much information do you need before you can assign a meaningful probability? Until there is some sort of minimum standard that is set out, we will forever get claims and counter-claims as to what the DNA actually shows. These will inevitably get in the way of any actual science getting done.

Yes, that is true. A slightly weaker case can be made if you find a haplogroup that can be identified as -likely- to have arisen in the group the migratory group split from AFTER the migration. It's weaker in that it may be a group that migrated back again.

I'm not convinced it's near-impossible. I am convinced that it's not easy, and I'm definitely convinced that if projects like Genographics tested for more than 12 markers, we might have a better understanding of how "not easy" it is. I'm not sure how many markers they'd need to test, or which ones, but if it's possible to reach every possible conclusion and justify it with the available data, 12 is not enough.

I'm not sure why you say you've a low probability of success. You presumably have geographic data as well as genetic data, and maybe some genealogical data as well, and if there's archaeological DNA from the earlier migration, so much the better.
After that, it should be a number-crunching exercise, provided you've a sufficiently large amount of data.

If you succeed, then yes, you will have shown it possible to do what you have done. (In fact, it is a truism that any accomplishment is an existence proof of a solution to a problem. :)

That is certainly true, with hair samples proving to be better than bone or teeth.

Well, yes, but can we at least feed the particularly dense archaeologists to the crocodiles? There's a certain minimum standard in the field, below which results are unlikely to be useful and where potentially valuable information is likely to have been lost.

I'd actually prefer it if both geneticists and archaeologists were better-funded and encouraged to use the most powerful techniques available in their disciplines. As it stands, cutting-edge tools rarely get used. In some cases, they're too expensive. In others, unfamiliarity with what is available is a killer.
(I had a fascinating, albeit brief, discussion with the archaeologists who dug at Stonehenge a while back. They were finding lots of material for which dating techniques existed, but they were only going to use C14 dating. This isn't the most accurate method they could have used - dating the pottery by thermoluminescence might well have produced better results - but it was the method they were comfortable with.)
Mathematicians and computer scientists can then produce models for filling in the gaps, providing a "best fit" solution (or more likely a range of solutions) to what should be found where, where data is currently unavailable. This can be tuned and corrected as needed when new discoveries are made. But since it's obviously impossible to obtain either archaeological OR genetic data for each and every year since humanity began, there will always be gaps in both records. Since there's no guarantee the gaps will coincide, you will always need some means of deriving probable values for one based on actual values for the other.

SAINT LEO, Fla. – Ryan Powers launched a three-run home run in the fourth inning that finished off a 10-run explosion that propelled the Saint Leo baseball team to a convincing 10-2 victory over 10th-ranked Minnesota State on Monday night at Thomas B. Southard Stadium.
In a game that was added to the Lions' schedule just before the start of the season as a result of the collapse of the Metrodome's roof in December saw Saint Leo (7-10) surrender two runs early when the Mavericks' leadoff hitter, Zach Rowles launched a two-run shot in the top of the third.
Responding in a big way, the Lions capitalized on three errors in the next half-inning as they scored six times, batting through the order and only managing three hits in the frame. A Daniel Torres two-RBI double down the right field line was the biggest run-scoring knock of the innings.
Leading off the fourth inning with a single, another error that helped put Ryan Brnovich in scoring position as it was matched with a Frank Rawdow walk, putting two Lions on base as Powers stepped up to blast the capper.
Aside from those two frames, it would be Saint Leo pitching, led by starter Rick Teasley (2-0) that would put the zeroes on the scoreboard through the remainder of the game.
After Teasley put in his five innings of three-hit work, Head Coach Russ McNickle turned to his bullpen of Adam Albers and Jeff Bloomer to close out the contest.
In addition to the home run, Powers went 3-for-4 with two runs scored and three RBI.
The Lions will play again tomorrow when they host Lake Erie College at 6:00 p.m.

I used to be 180, had 4 kids 3 csection. 2 of which were emergency, and the 3rd one was a scheduled. Lost all the weight but Now i have this overlap that is not very big, but enough for me not to like. I need to know what i should do to get rid of it? I dont have the money for a tummy tuck, is there any other way that i could loose it without surgery?

Tummy Tuck Only Solution For Overlap
There is no way to lose your skin overlap without surgery. Excess skin can not be removed by diet and exercise, unlike fat.

Managing Hanging skin over C section scar
Sounds like you are doing everything right. Healthy diet and daily exercise is key to managing all your abdominal skin that has good elasticity. Often Ted the lower tummy skin does not contract and as you have stated you have been left with hanging skin. Often times an office based local anesthesia procedure can be done to remove that skin. Explore this option with a Plastic surgeon who is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgeons. Typically during a consultation I can assess whether you are a candidate for this. In my practice I call this a scar revision and the extra skin and old c section scar is roved and a new scar replaces the old one. Good luck

Extra skin
Exercise and dietary restraint is very helpful, however if you have loose skin after childbirth then it is unlikely that any other treatment aside from surgery will address your concerns.

Unfortunately, once the skin loses it elasticity, there is nothing that will restore it. Only surgery to remove the excess skin will solve your problem.

If there was a single album one could use to describe the sound and atmosphere of gothic metal, it would be Tristania's Beyond the Veil. Tristania has made it their business to compose masterful gothic metal, and indeed they continue to do so 'till this day, however Beyond the Veil proved both that former member Morten Velend was the mastermind behind the band, and that this was their all time peak.
Beyond the Veil opens up with a very somber and beautiful section by Vibeke Stene, presenting the listener with a sort of peace. This is short lived, as within moments the listener is assaulted with pounding drums and guitars making way for Velend's beastly vocals.
Those first two minutes are enough to bring forth a state of rapture as the rest of the album unfolds. From the ass-kicking riff on the opening of Aphelion, the soaring choir brought upon by Vibeke in A Sequel of Decay, the seductiveness of Opus Relinque, meandering melodies of Lethen River, a fantastic duo performance by Velend and Stene on Angia, and ...Of Ruins And A Red Nightfall, all finally closing off with more intensity and soaring male choirs on Heretique, Tristania demonstrates their mastery of all instruments and song structures.
Indeed, all instruments are played to their utmost potential, and arranged and composed perfectly. There aren't any sections that are drawn out too much. Choirs, vocals, riffs, slower instrumental sections, all are proportioned perfectly, never leaving an overplayed feeling, just satisfaction, except in one regard. I felt Vibeke could've played a bigger part in vocals throughout the album. Her voice is too fitting to only appear as much as it did.
Definite highlights include ...Of Ruins And A Red Nightfall, A Sequel of Decay, and Angina. I've gotten a fair amount of disagreement, but I feel Beyond the Veil, the opener, isn't up to par with the other songs. That's not to say it isn't wonderful, but when matched up with the other tracks it simply falls short. All in all though, the album is the quintessence of gothic metal. Tristania emerges on top with this display of musicianship. Anybody looking to get into the genre, or needs assurance that gothic metal isn't the red-headed step child of metal, should definitely get their hands on this one!

(CNSNews.com) - When asked whether al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden should have the right to remain silent and be given a lawyer, Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) told CNSNews.com that everyone who is accused of a crime should have the same "basic rights" afforded by the U.S. Constitution..
On Capitol Hill on Nov. 19, CNSNews.com asked Kucinich, "If and when the U.S. captures Osama Bin Laden, should he have the right to remain silent and be given a lawyer--told he can get a lawyer?"
Kucinich said: "I think that America does best when the values that we want other nations to share that we profess and stand by, and I think that every one who is accused of a crime should have the basic rights that are afforded. I mean, that's what America's about."
"We can't have one set of rules there and another set of rules there," said Kucinich. "America is one set of rules. We abide by the Constitution, and I think that Constitution is our protection now and in the future."
When asked the same question by CNSNews.com on Nov. 19, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said, "Well, let's see, how many years has it been? Nine, eight years. Let's worry about capturing Bin Laden and not worry about your, your question."
During a hearing in the Senate Judiciary Committee on Nov. 18, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) asked Attorney General Eric Holder several questions about how the capture and legal handling of Osama Bin Laden might be handled and warned that, in his opinion, the United States is "making bad history" by trying 9/11 suspect Khalid Sheik Mohammed in a civilian court.
When Graham asked whether the U.S. would try Bin Laden in a civilian court or military commission, Holder said he "didn't know" and that the U.S. would have to "go through our protocol" before deciding what to do with the Islamic terrorist.
"If we captured bin Laden tomorrow, would he be entitled to Miranda warnings at the moment of capture?" Graham asked Holder. Holder's response was "that all depends," and Graham warned that the Obama administration's new legal policy would confuse the military and the justice system.
"Well, it does not 'depend,'" the senator said. "The big problem I have is that you're criminalizing the war, that if we caught bin Laden tomorrow, we'd have mixed theories and we couldn't turn him over—to the CIA, the FBI or military intelligence—for an interrogation on the battlefield, because now we're saying that he is the subject to criminal court in the United States.
"And you're confusing the people fighting this war," Graham charged. Later, the senator added, "The only point I'm making (is) that if we're going to use federal court as a disposition for terrorists, you take everything that comes with being in federal court."
Holder announced last Friday that he had chosen to try Mohammed in federal court in the Southern District of New York, which includes Manhattan, where the attacks on the World Trade Center occurred in 2001.

The freedom to engage in peaceful protest and assembly is an important human right. Each November, I join thousands in a protest vigil in Fort Benning, Ga., to demand the closure of a U.S. military academy formerly known as the School of the Americas.
This institution, now known as the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation, has trained Latin American officers responsible for the killing of tens of thousands of innocent civilians. We speak out to remember those who have died and to give a voice to those who face grave danger. During our vigils, many have been jailed for six months or more simply for entering academy property. But each year, we return to proclaim that the U.S. government's role in perpetuating violence is unacceptable.
Over the last several years, daring protest movements have emerged around the world, from Cairo to Santiago, Chile, to Wall Street. Recently, much attention has been paid to protests in Venezuela involving mostly young people from relatively high-income families. Tragically, since these protests started in early February, at least 40 people have died and hundreds more have been injured.
Much media commentary has falsely characterized these protests as peaceful and as motivated primarily by inflation, shortages and high crime. While some have been peaceful, many more have been violent and caused injury and death. Though Venezuelan state security forces are allegedly responsible for some casualties, protesters appear to have caused many other deaths.
And not all the demonstrations are driven by a democratic agenda. While some protesters have legitimate motives, key protest leaders, such as Leopoldo Lopez, have demanded the departure of President Nicolás Maduro even though he was freely and fairly elected just a year ago. Three generals were recently arrested for supposedly planning a coup.
The right to protest is not the right to violently oust a democratic government, a distinction that policymakers in Washington don't always seem to grasp. In March, 28 Latin American governments supported an Organization of American States resolution of "solidarity and support" for Venezuela's "democratic institutions." The U.S. government refused to sign, laid all blame for violence on the Maduro government, and threatened sanctions.
It's an all-too-familiar situation. In April 2002, violent protests on Caracas streets set the stage for a short-lived coup by a military officers, including SOA graduates. Some of the same opposition leaders behind the recent protests were involved in the 2002 coup, which unraveled after hundreds of thousands of people protested. The U.S. government supported the coup and tried to get other governments to recognize the coup regime.
The U.S. has a long history of supporting antidemocratic, violent tactics targeting left-leaning movements in the Americas. SOA graduates in Central American, U.S.-backed death squads and military dictatorships tortured and murdered dissidents. Under Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama, the U.S. has supported coup regimes in Venezuela, Haiti and Honduras. The 2009 Honduras coup was executed by another SOA graduate, and the United States was practically the only government to back flawed elections held under the coup regime.
Regarding U.S. policy toward Venezuela, a 2006 U.S. diplomatic memo published by Wikileaks reveals ongoing subversion of democracy. It outlines a strategy in which U.S. funding was to be used for "penetrating [late president Hugo] Chavez' political base," "dividing Chavismo," "isolating Chavez internationally" and creating organizations opposed to the government. The U.S. spends millions each year supporting groups that have, in recent years, backed unconstitutional "regime change."
Fortunately, a large sector of Venezuela's opposition now appears to reject these tactics and has criticized the violent protests. Opposition leader Henrique Capriles Radonski recently stated that "through violent means we won't achieve change." He and other leaders have begun a dialogue with the government that Maduro first called for in mid-February.
Maduro has also asked for high-level dialogue with the U.S. government. As the two countries currently lack ambassadorial relations, Maduro has suggested an exchange of ambassadors.
The Obama administration should seize this opportunity. Instead of further isolating itself through aggressive talk of sanctions, the U.S. should engage with Venezuela and support peace and dialogue. As Uruguayan President José Mujica recently said, "The first thing that Venezuela and all of Latin America need is to be respected."

Ullalim -this is a long epic song of the Kalinga about the adventures of Banna, the hero of the epic, and his amorous relationship with Laggunawa. This song is usually sung at night during happy festivities like a peace pact or budong. It can also be sung in the home for entertainment. The song contained several chapters about bravery, wisdom, heroism, and nobility of the hero Banna.

It's so simple to take advantage of the Eflex Warranty cover. Once an FMC Accredited Operator has cleared your property of termites, they will install a chemically treated zone to protect your property, using an FMC termiticide. Then your property is eligible for an Eflex Warranty.
Now you too can have one full year's peace of mind for just $35.00– that's around ten cents a day! And that covers you for a staggering $1 million in subterranean termite related damages. Furthermore when that year is up, you can renew your Eflex Warranty subject to an inspection by an Eflex Accredited Operator in accordance with Australian Standard AS 3660. That's another full year of $1 million worth of guaranteed cover for $35.00.
Please note. Most current building insurance policies will NOT cover any damage caused by termites. However, FMC Australia's most respected manufacturer of termite treatments has such total confidence in their products' performance to offer such amazing cover.
FMC Australasia offers its Eflex Warranty against termite damage as proof positive of its belief in its products and its commitment to Australian homeowners.
This no-nonsense warranty covers all structural and decorative timbers that are protected by an FMC termiticide product that has been installed by an Eflex-Accredited Operator. It's that simple.

Endothelial protein C receptor (EPCR), also known as activated protein C receptor (APC receptor) or PROCR, is a receptor for Protein C. Protein C plays an important role in many metabolism processes in humans and other animals after activated by binding to Endothelial protein C receptor (EPCR). Because of the EPCR is found primarily on endothelial cells (cells on the inside of blood vessels), activated protein C is found maily near endothelial cells. Protein C is pleiotropic, with two main functions: anticoagulation and cytoprotection. Which function will be performed depend on whether or not protein C remains bind to EPCR after activated. The anticoagulation occurs when it does not. In this case, protein C functions as an anticoagulant by irreversibly proteolytically inactivating Factor Va and Factor VIIIa, turning them into Factor Vi and Factor VIIIi respectively. When still bound to EPCR, activated protein C performs its cytoprotective effects, acting on the effector substrate PAR-1, protease-activated receptor-1. To a degree, APC's anticoagulant properties are independent of its cytoprotective ones, in that expression of one pathway is not affected by the existence of the other.

You are sitting securely in the saddle and it's time to move off in walk. Your riding instructor should already have you in the correct position — so that you can draw an imaginary line from your ear, through your shoulder, hip and heel. Basically this isn't going to change very much once the horse is on the move.
There is, however, often a tendency in novice or nervous new riders to lean forward once the horse is in motion. You should resist this urge and sit up straight, looking in the direction in which you wish to go.
Another common fault is to tense up, causing parts of the body to stiffen. To help alleviate this ensure that you take regular breaths, and focus both on your breathing and on certain parts of the body that you know are tense and make a conscious effort to relax them.
To get the horse to move off into walk, gently squeeze him with both calves or lower legs. In those with a tendency to be lazy — and you may find this necessary with particularly steady riding school horses — a small kick with both heels will be needed and (worse case scenario) confirmation of your aid with a tap of your whip behind your lower leg. Again, depending on your horse's temperament, you may need to squeeze with your lower leg to ensure that he keeps up the momentum in walk unless he is particularly keen and 'forward going', in which case your legs can relax at his sides.
If you are just learning to ride a horse, you will notice how much he moves underneath you once he begins to walk. There will be a temptation to mimic the movement, thus exaggerating it with your upper body. To prevent yourself doing this, sit deep into the saddle, allowing just a slight movement of your hips and stomach. Do this and you will be at one with your horse.
Just as your body should slightly rock to the walk movement, so your elbows and arms should constantly 'give' with the reins to follow the horse's head and neck movements. Continue holding the reins so that an imaginary line can be drawn from your elbow, through your wrist and hand all the way to the bit. An inflexible arm will mean that you will be putting unnecessary pressure on the horse's mouth, which will be both uncomfortable and will send him the wrong signals.
Horses don't have a brake pedal and the aids you give your mount should be far more subtle than how you stop a car. Never tug forcefully on the reins or jab the horse in the mouth. Instead, squeeze with your legs, but stop 'giving' so much with your hands. The application of this small amount of pressure will be enough to halt a well behaved, well schooled horse.

MARINA DEL REY - No damage was reported from a magnitude-3.3 earthquake that struck in Santa Monica Bay at 6:39 p.m. tonight, nine miles southwest of Marina Del Rey, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
Dispatchers at the Manhattan Beach and Hermosa Beach police departments said they felt the quake, but had no calls reporting damage.
"I felt it slightly," the Manhattan Beach dispatcher, who declined to give her name, said. "But we've had no calls." The Hermosa Beach dispatcher said she felt it, but there also were no calls there, which she said was surprising.
"Usually there are some calls," she said.
A deputy at the sheriff's Marina Del Rey Station said he didn't feel the quake and no one called.

First Look:
2009 Ford F-150
Page: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [Exclusive Video]
January 16th, 2008 is the 60th birthday of Ford's F-Series pickups and Ford is taking the wraps off a very large present for its truck buyers at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit.
Ford has made big improvements to the 2009 F-150, in an effort to keep the number one selling vehicle in America the leader in sales and competitive with the latest trucks from Chevrolet, GMC, Toyota, and Dodge. The company committed over 1,000 engineers, designers, and others to the revision program during its development period.
It's not an all-new truck, like the 2009 Dodge Ram, but it's a thorough top-to-bottom update of the vehicle that debuted in 2003. The upgrades start with the frame and extend all the way through the truck to the powertrain, interior, and exterior.
"This is a major change for the F-150. The exterior is bolder, tougher, the back end changes are very strong, and the interior is all new – every element from the fabrics to the materials to the designs. We've put new features in the truck that are going to make our customers' lives easier," says Mike Crowley, Ford Truck and SUV group marketing manager.
Chassis, Cabin, and Suspension Changes
The F-150's fully boxed frame adds new hydroformed side rails, made from high strength steel. The high strength steel improves torsional rigidity by 10-percent and saves weight from the chassis by using a narrower gauge steel compared to the previous F-150's frame.
The rear suspension has been upgraded with longer leaf springs, for better ride handling and load control. The springs are mounted farther forward from the axle, like Ford did similarly updating the 2008 Super Duty.
To meet tougher 2010 federal rollover regulations, the F-150's roof has been reengineered with high strength steel. High strength tubes run from the base of the A-pillar up through the roof, forming a safety cage around the truck's occupants.
New Powertrain Options, Technology, and Transmissions
Ford is only offering V8 engines for the 2009 F-150. The entry level 4.2-liter V6 has been dumped.
The legacy two-valve per cylinder 4.6-liter single overhead cam (SOHC) Triton V8 four-speed automatic moves downstream from the middle position to take the old V6's slot. Ford says the 4.6-liter V8 delivers more horsepower and torque with the same fuel economy numbers as the outgoing V6.
Ford also says a V6 will return to the F-150 lineup for the 2010 calendar year, when Ford's new EcoBoost gasoline turbo direct injection V6 is added to the list of truck engines. A diesel motor will also be offered in 2010. Sources say the diesel will be a 4.4-liter V8 oil burner.
Ford is adding a new three-valve version of the 4.6-liter Triton V8 as the F-150's middle engine. It's pairing the 3V 4.6L with the new standard 6R80 six-speed automatic transmission that debuted in the 2007 Ford Expedition.

AITP is fortunate to have talented educators serve as advisors to AITP student chapters all over the country. They willingly donate many hours to assure that their students receive a broader education than they receive in the classroom alone. AITP annually recognizes an advisor who has exemplified the highest ideals of his/her profession.
The 2010-2011 AITP Outstanding Faculty Advisor is Vicki Hampton, Eastern Illinois University.
Some comments from those who nominated this year's winner:
"When I joined AITP, I only knew one person in the group. I showed up on a whim to a meeting and was first greeted by Vicki. I wasn't much of a talker but she refused to have it otherwise. The fact she cared enough to talk to me, sold me, and I subsequently joined. Vicki has always pushed me to go further. After joining AITP she recommended I go to NCC. I found it to be a monumental experience in my life. I have been privileged to work with her on improving AITP and I know that, thanks to her philosophy of hard work and taking that extra step, there is much I can accomplish not just in AITP but in every aspect of my life."
"Vicki is a tireless promoter for our chapter. Whenever there is a meeting or an event she always informs the students. Vicki does not treat AITP as just a club you can occasionally rub elbows with recruiters or take tours; she treats AITP as what it should be: a catalyst for professional development for our members."

Health Savings Accounts
Now available at The Gerber State Bank What is a Health Savings Account (HSA)? A Health Savings Account (HSA) is an account that
you can put money into and use to pay for current health expenses and also save for future qualified medical expenses on a tax-free basis. An HSA is not a "use it or lose it" plan; the funds in your account roll over year after year. To open a Health Savings Account you must be covered under a High Deductible Health Plan. What is a "High Deductible Health Plan" (HDHP)? A HDHP is an inexpensive health insurance plan that generally doesn't pay for the first several thousand dollars of health care expenses (i.e. your "deductible") but will generally cover you after that. Your HSA is availabe to help you pay for the expenses your plan does not cover. To see if your health plan qualifies please contact your health insurance agent. Who Can Have an HSA? Any adult can contribute to a Health Savings Account if they:
$6,150 � Family coverage*
$1,000 � Additional catch-up contribution
amount for individuals 55 and over For 2012, you can contribute up to: $3,100 � Self-only coverage*
$6,250 � Family coverage*
$1,000 � Additional catch-up contribution
amount for individuals 55 and over *Individuals who are eligible individuals on the first day of the last month of the taxable year (December for most taxpayers) are allowed the full annual contribution (plus catch-up contribution, if 55 or older by year-end), regardless of the number of months the individual was an eligible individual in the year. For individuals who are no longer eligible individuals on that date, both the HSA contribution and catch up contribution apply pro rata based on the number of months of the year a taxpayer is an eligible individual. Contributions can be made as late as your tax-filing due date of the following year. Contributions to your HSA can be made by you, your employer, or both. However, the total contributions are limited annually. Contributions to the account must stop once you are enrolled in Medicare. However, you can keep the money in your account and use it to pay for qualified medical expenses tax-free. Using Your HSA You can use the money in the account to pay for any "qualified medical expense" permitted under federal tax law. This includes most medical care and services, dental, and vision care. You can use the money in the account to pay for medical expenses for yourself, your spouse, or your dependent children. You can pay for expenses of your spouse and dependent children even if they are not covered by your HDHP. FEES
