The King and Prince Beach and Golf Resort in St Simon's Island, Georgia
June 10th through the 13th, 2012
A month ago when asked if Lee and I wanted to go to The King and Prince Beach and Golf Resort on St. Simon's Island, Georgia I said "where." We had no idea that this wonderful resort with the most charming people even existed.
It took some doing to get there though. Oh no, it is just off a major thoroughfare and the roads are well paved. It was the torrential downpour of rain that challenged us. Luckily, Lee was driving at the time. It was suggested that I bury my head in my latest Nook selection and not to wear out the floor carpet with the imaginary break on the passenger side. Lee said that we traveled through Jacksonville, however, the entire city was a blur to him. Not one building seen by his eyes, only the tail lights in front of us with the hazard lights in full use.
Suffice it to say we arrived slightly tense and somewhat cramped and immediately proceeded to our 4:00 appointment at The Royal Treatment Cottage at The King and Prince for a couples massage. We understand this renovated cottage is a new addition to the resort. We were greeted with warm southern hospitality, comfortable white robes and foot ware, water with lemon slices, and heated aroma therapy neck wraps. After time to unwind in the relaxation area we were brought into the couples massage room. The travels thus far left us wanting therapeutic, deep tissue massages to work out our knots and tension. Our therapists, Bucky and Sonia, were very accommodating and talented. An hour later we were escorted back to the relaxation area and were adorned in neck wraps again and a fresh bottle of water. The tension quickly melted away so that we were able to begin our vacation in the best of body and mind.
Now, time to actually check in. The entire front desk staff was wonderful. With all the bellmen busy seeing to other guests, front desk staffer, Clarence Everly went beyond the call of duty to help us to our room before the next cloud burst could drench our luggage.
We entered our room through medieval wood doors to find a beautifully renovated, spacious ocean view room complete with a personal hand written note from the room steward, Antoinette. She was a joy and made every attempt to see to our needs during our three night stay. Internet access was effortless to join. The large flat screen tv was well positioned for viewing in the smartly arranged space of furnishing and finishes.
I must take a moment to mention the two gold foil boxes of heaven from Sugar Marsh Cottage Specialty Confections, Inc. left for us compliments of the resort. The first box we opened contained delicious Chocolate Dipped Signature Gourmet Shortbread Coquilles. It took everything I had not to hide in the closet and eat them all. Knowing my long term relationship with Lee would be in jeopardy if I did not leave him some. The second box contained White Chocolate Orange Angle Wings and Sea Stars. Both were definitely a special delight.
The meals at the King and Prince are incredible. The dining areas overlook the western most point on the Atlantic's eastern seaboard. Cargo ships can be seen coming and going through the channel for Brunswick, GA. For dinner I ate the chef's signature Low Country Shrimp & Grits. This being my first venture into grits I was hesitant. But, they were great. I am a starch addict and cannot have a meal without pasta, potato or rice. Now I have another choice, and fix them with cheese and I am in heaven. Lee had the garlic rubbed rib-eye cooked to perfection with au-gratin potatoes that were the perfect texture with just the right amount of cheese.
The breakfast buffet had more choices than most we have been to, including eggs made to order. Luckily peaches were is season and we were able to feast on peach strudel until I could not pass another bit through my lips. Of course our second morning I started with the peach strudel first. Why pussyfoot around?
My last experience with a golf ball was at a driving range were a stray ball struck my face and broke my cheek bone between my left eye and ear just below the temple (zeugmatic arch) in three places and my jaw in one place. Still healing, I was a bit nervous being on a golf course. We were lucky enough to make arrangements for golf lessons with Jack Mattox, the club's general manager. A twenty five minute drive to the north end of St. Simons Island from their beach front resort brought us down to the golf course and driving range. There we met Rick and carted over to the amazing driving range. The range was contoured and designed to replicate greens with flags at distances found on any course. Not only attractive in its care and design, it was as functional as I could imagine for chip shots and a great putting green. Rick introduced me to the game with ease and confidence with a couple golf teaching aids and plenty of experience. Now that I have been instructed on a better way to hold my club, position my stance, relax and swing the club while keeping the eye on the ball, I no longer fear myself, but still those around me. I actually did pretty well during the lesson and was looking forward to getting on the course. Lee attempted to improve upon Rick's advice and chose the back nine to play a quick nine holes before heading back to the village for some southern home cook' in.
The course is incredibly beautiful, well maintained and recently renovated. Definitely a must play course. A portion of the back nine runs through marsh. Carts are driven on elevated wooden bridges that go through the marsh from island to island to four of the holes. We did come across a few alligators, but they seemed to have little interest in our game.
It has been 34 years since I tried to play tennis. At that time I paid a high school boy to retrieve my tennis balls that flew over the fence and out of the courts. I never seemed to get "control" of the ball. After meeting with tennis professional Pride Evans, a Georgia Hall of Fame member at The King and Prince Beach and Golf Resort, I can now say that I can hit a ball where I want it to go about 30% of the time and I can actually be involved in a volley. I never thought I would be able to say that, or for that matter, write about it. Pride Evans has a very special personality, he is warm, personable, funny but most of all he has the ability to describe what should be done and how to correct you when it can be improved. I did play better when he was hitting the balls to me at just the right speed and at just the right angle, but with practice I look forward to improving and one day returning to let him know how he gave me confidence and inspired me to play.
The resort has two clay courts conveniently located across the street from the center of the resort. And if you do not have your own rackets, they are available for loan at the front desk. If Pride forgets to share his personal lesson from the historic Billie Jean King, make sure you ask.
Watch out Lee, Pride created a monster.
We had planned a trip back to The Royal Treatment Cottage after tennis, but, this time for reflexology treatments. If you have never had reflexology you really should think about it. Reflexology can aid the health of your entire body through the nerve endings in your feet. It can also melt away tension, reduce pain and help circulation in the body. I personally was so relaxed I woke myself up snoring. The massage therapist said that she took it as a compliment, I hope she did.
We were told that the main pool decks and landscape were recently renovated. Both Lee and I were very impressed with the beauty of the area. The designers thought of everything, soft curving lines, overhead arbors for shade, and three pool areas to suit everyone's water comfort. The planted areas offered spacious manicured green spaces to soften and compliment the hard scape features. There was an abundance of high back lounge chairs and umbrellas scattered around all of the outdoor areas.
We were especially impressed with the maintenance of the indoor lobby pool and hot tub. We kept ourselves busy and the rain did not hinder any of our plans. But if it had, we would have been able to enjoy the indoor pool and hot tub. We are sure families with energetic kids really appreciate this feature.
Derrick the pool concierge had his hands full each morning as he came in early to scoop the fiddler crabs out of the pools before the guests arrived. The crabs are very prevalent in this geographic area. They are small and apparently harmless so we were not concerned with them. They provided amusement just as our anoles and geckos in Florida.
Our first sight of the beach was at low tide. We were excited to plan a trip to the sandbar just off the shore from the resort. We plotted the tides for the next couple of days so that we knew when to take a leisurely swim out to the sandbar. Timing was important to us so that we did not get caught in a strong current when the tide changed. If planned properly, this is a very fun and relaxing adventure.
From the dining areas to the pools, event grounds and the view from our room we could observe many people were out with their snorkel and fins, boogey boards, paddle boards and kayaks. The water temperature this mid-June was refreshing but a little warmer than I expected for the Atlantic Ocean.
Everyone we met said we needed to meet Michael the bartender in The King's Tavern. This is the name of the lobby bar at The King and Prince Beach & Golf Resort.
The resort hosts many weddings, conferences and meeting throughout the year. The conference rooms are located on the main level and upstairs in the Historic Building. They are beautifully appointed.

text: Weiss Ratings senior financial analyst Gavin Magor says that "any company facing AIG's 2008 disaster would have loved to have been granted four years and limitless government cash." "In return for the bailout, AIG was initially being forced to break up the conglomerate," he says, "but the company was granted an indefinite stay of execution, which they took full advantage of, to maintain their leadership in many area of insurance, especially in price-sensitive areas like property and casualty, where there were rumors of complaints that they were underpricing the market, simply to gain control." Taxpayers bought AIG the most valuable thing on Wall Street: time. In return, with Monday's sale of AIG shares, the "Treasury and the Federal Reserve have now recovered a combined total of $194.7 billion" from the AIG bailout, including profits on the sale of shares and interest payments on loans, "representing a positive return of $12.4 billion to date compared to the original combined $182.3 billion commitment," according to the Treasury. Underwriters have the option to purchase an additional 83,076,922 shares over the next 30 days, which could bring the government an additional $2.7 billion. Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner said that "taking action to stabilize AIG during the financial crisis was something the government should never have had to do, but we had no better option at the time to protect the American economy from the damage that would have been caused by the company's collapse,"adding that "to stabilize and then restructure the company with a very substantial positive gain for the American taxpayer is a significant accomplishment, but we need to continue the critical task of implementing Wall Street reform so that the American economy is never put in this position again." Be that as it may, it's all water under the bridge for investors, who need to decide if holding shares in AIG is still a good deal. At Monday's close, AIG's shares traded for less than 10 times the consensus 2013 EPS estimate of $3.47, among analysts polled by Thomson Reuters. Among 18 analysts polled, 10 rate the shares a "Buy," while the remaining eight have neutral ratings. That's a pretty strong vote of confidence, and the consensus price target of $38.21 implies another 15% upside for the shares. Sterne Agee analyst John Nadel last week called AIG's announcement of the sale of $2 billion AIA shares "a much smaller portion than expected," and said there was "no obvious answer" as to why the company didn't sell more of its $7 billion stake in the Asian insurer. On the bright side, AIG has at least $5 billion more in potential fuel for additional buybacks, once the company navigates its first round of Federal Reserve stress tests next early next year.

text: Overall, the population entered this study with significant comorbidities. Approximately 20% had type 2 diabetes, 37% were diagnosed with hypertension and 70% had a BMI over 30. Approximately 79% had a significant risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Taking these facts into consideration, Androxal was generally well tolerated.Also, with approximately 50% of subjects up-titrated to the higher dose, it is remarkable that there was no dose response noted in the incidence of adverse events. If anything, adverse events of note could have easily been attributed to raising of testosterone or just general age effects. For example 7.4% of subjects exhibited an elevation in PSA of 0.75 ng/ml or more. This is consistent with the experience reported for Androgel ®. As men were followed for two months after treatment, those men that experienced an increase in PSA generally returned to baseline levels as their T receded. In the instance of DVT in Repros studies, Androgel ® has exhibited a higher frequency of increased hematocrit and hemoglobin than Androxal. Increased erythropoiesis directly affects an increased risk of developing a thromboembolic adverse event. Several tables giving more in depth analysis of the safety profile determined from the study are available at the Company's website, www.reprosrx.com . Repros has exposed over 1,350 subjects to at least a single dose of Androxal. Almost 800 subjects have been exposed for at least 6 months of treatment. This represents over 90% of the safety database anticipated for the NDA filing. Joseph Podolski, President and CEO noted, "We are encouraged by these outcomes. Our NDA filing remains on track for mid-2014. We believe we have the organization to successfully complete the required work and we have begun to prepare the necessary manufacturing documentation for the regulatory submission as well as having launch drug product available for an anticipated approval during 2015. The Company is in a strong financial position to maximize this unique Androxal opportunity."

HUMAN RIGHTS IN CHINA: IMPROVING OR DETERIORATING CONDITIONS? -- (Extensions of Remarks - April 26, 2006)
* Mr. SMITH of New Jersey. Mr. Speaker, on April 19, the day before Chinese President Hu Jintao's official visit to President George Bush, I held a hearing of the Subcommittee on Africa, Global Human Rights and International Operations to examine China's human rights record. The hearing focused on such areas as China's censorship of the internet, implementation of the right of Chinese citizens to worship freely, protection of minority rights, compliance with international labor standards, China's barbaric practice of organ harvesting, and the destructive effects on Chinese society--especially on women--of its government's coercive one-child policy.
* Over the years, I have held more than 25 hearings on human rights abuses in China. While China's economy has improved somewhat, the human rights situation remains abysmal. So-called economic reform has utterly failed to result in the protection of freedom of speech, expression, or assembly.
* President Hu Jintao' visit to the United States provided the U.S. Congress and people an opportunity to bring to the attention of U.S. policy makers and the world community the terrible human rights situation as it exists in China today. It also helped provide the vital context for any relationship we should have with China. And it conveyed our unshakeable regard and commitment to press Beijing for serious, measurable and durable reform. The people of China deserve no less. It is our moral duty to stand with the oppressed, not with the oppressor.
* State Department human rights reports and the consistent reporting from very reputable NGOs indicate that Chinese government repression of its citizens continues. In fact, the current Chinese regime is one of the very worst violators of human rights in the world, and continues to commit every single day egregious crimes against its own citizens. China was first named a Country of Particular Concern (CPC) by the State Department in 1999 for ongoing, egregious and systemic violations of religious freedom, and has been a CPC every year since. Few if any nations can even begin to match China's unseemly record, from the systematic denial of political freedom and use of torture to interference in the most private matters of family and conscience. At a rough count, the most recent State Department Human Rights Report for China ran to about 45,000 words. Before it even gets down to details, the report lists 22 major human rights problems:
Denial of the right to change the government;
Physical abuse resulting in deaths in custody;
Torture and coerced confessions of prisoners;
Harassment, detention, and imprisonment of those perceived as threatening to party and government authority;
Arbitrary arrest and detention, including nonjudicial administrative detention, reeducation-through-labor, psychiatric detention, and extended or incommunicado pretrial detention;
A politically controlled judiciary and a lack of due process in certain cases, especially those involving dissidents;
Detention of political prisoners, including those convicted of disclosing state secrets and subversion, those convicted under the now-abolished crime of counterrevolution, and those jailed in connection with the 1989 Tiananmen demonstrations;
House arrest and other non-judicially approved surveillance and detention of dissidents;
Monitoring of citizens' mail, telephone and electronic communications;
Use of a coercive birth limitation policy, in some cases resulting in forced abortion and sterilization;
Increased restrictions on freedom of speech and the press; closure of newspapers and journals; banning of politically sensitive books, periodicals, and films; and jamming of some broadcast signals;
Restrictions on the freedom of assembly, including detention and abuse of demonstrators and petitioners;
Restrictions on religious freedom, control of religious groups, and harassment and detention of unregistered religious groups;
Restrictions on the freedom of travel, especially for politically sensitive and underground religious figures;
Forcible repatriation of North Koreans and inadequate protection of many refugees;
Severe government corruption;
Increased scrutiny, harassment and restrictions on independent domestic and foreign nongovernmental organization (NGO) operations;
Trafficking in women and children;
Societal discrimination against women, minorities, and persons with disabilities;
Cultural and religious repression of minorities in Tibetan areas and Muslim areas of Xinjiang;
Restriction of labor rights, including freedom of association, the right to organize and bargain collectively, and worker health and safety; and Forced labor, including prison labor).
* Beijing has increasingly viewed the information available on the internet as a potential threat to the Party's ability to control the population and monopolize political power. It has turned China into one of the most internet restrictive countries in the world. It is important to note that the freedoms that we enjoy in America allow individuals to publish information and news on the Web unfiltered. Those freedoms do not exist in China. Individuals who attempt to speak freely are imprisoned and even tortured. At the very least, U.S. corporations should not be aiding and abetting that process. Yet at a February hearing I chaired on the Internet in China, we learned in greater--and disturbing--detail, how some of the biggest corporations in America have partnered with the much-hated Chinese secret police to find, apprehend, convict and jail religious believers and pro-democracy advocates.
* Yahoo told us at the hearing how profoundly they regret sending Shi Tao to prison for 10 years but they couldn't tell us--and didn't seem to know--how many others were condemned to jail and torture because of Yahoo's complicity with the secret police. When I asked under what terms and conditions--court order, police demand, a fishing trip--Yahoo surrenders emails and address files, Yahoo told us that they couldn't reveal this information to us because it would break Chinese law.
* Google, for its part, created an exclusively Chinese search engine that only a Joseph Goebbels could love. Type in any number of vile words like human rights, or Tian An Men Square massacre, or Falun Gong, and you will get rerouted to government propaganda--much of it heavily anti-American and anti- President George Bush, and filled with hate, especially for the Falun Gong. How did Google respond to our deep concern about their enabling a dictatorship to expand its hate message? According to the New York Times report of late March, they hired big-time Washington lobbying firms like Podesta-Mattoon and the DCI group to put a good face on it all--and presumably kill my pending legislation, the Global Online Freedom Act of 2006,
* Amazingly, Cisco showed no seller's remorse whatsoever that its technology--especially ``Policenet''--a tool for good in the hands of honest cops and legitimate law enforcement, but a tool of repression in the hands of Chinese police has now effectively linked and exponentially expanded the capabilities of the Chinese police.
* Microsoft also censors and shuts down blogs that ``Big Brother objects to. You can be sure that no serious discussion on human rights was on the agenda at President Hu visit with Bill Gates at Microsoft.
* China's continued repression of religion is among the most despotic in the world. In February, the BBC reported that China had warned Hong Kong's newly-appointed Cardinal, Joseph Zen, a well-known critic of China's suppression of religious freedoms, to remain quiet on political issues. Citizens practicing a faith other than officially sanctioned religions are often subjected to torture, imprisonment, and death, at which time prisoner organs are frequently harvested to meet demand. Christians, Tibetan Buddhists, and Muslim Uyghurs are all being persecuted for their faith. Today, numerous underground Roman Catholic priests and bishops and Protestant pastors languish in the Lao Gai, China's infamous concentration camps, simply proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
* In the early 90's I meet with Bishop Su Zhimin of Baoding Province--a gentle and kind man who celebrated Mass for our small delegation. I was deeply inspired by his faith (he had recently been let out of jail) and by his compassion for those who had jailed and mistreated him. He had no animosity for them--only compassion and forgiveness. What kind of regime incarcerates a truly noble man like this? Soon after our visit, he was re-arrested on false charges, released, and re-arrested and jailed again. He has now spent at least 27 years of his life in jail--for loving God. What kind of barbaric regime hurts a man like this?
* And then there is the special hate Beijing pours out on the Falun Gong. Nearly seven years ago the Chinese government began its brutal campaign to completely eradicate Falun Gong through whatever means necessary. Many Party Members and Army officials had begun to practice Falun Gong. Like all dictators and totalitarian terror systems, the PRC fears and hates what it cannot control. So it decided to destroy and intimidate those who practice Falun Gong. We see before us a Stalinist nightmare revived for the 21st century--hundreds, perhaps thousands, dead as a result of torture; tens of thousands jailed without trial, held in labor camps, prisons, and mental hospitals, where they are forced to endure torture brainwashing sessions.
* Just over a year ago Beijing finally released the renowned human rights activist, Rebiya Kadeer, from prison, where she had been held for years on trumped up charges for defending the rights of her fellow Uyghur Muslims in China. We had hoped this signaled some sort of genuine improvement in Beijing's treatment of human rights, but now we know better: since Rebiya, who is now living in America, has continued to campaign for the recognition of the legitimate rights of her fellow Uyghurs, her relatives and business associates still in China are being subjected to renewed harassment by the authorities. Rebiya is with us here today to testify about China's continuing campaign against her peoples.
* Coercive family-planning policy in China has slaughtered more innocent children than any war in human history. Coercive family planning has wounded Chinese women by the millions and the physical consequence is that 500 women commit suicide every day. China's one-child per couple policy, decreed in 1979, has killed hundreds of millions of babies by imposing Draconian fines--up to ten times annual salaries--on their parents to force them to abort. In China today brothers and sisters are illegal. Sex selection abortions--a direct consequence of allowing only one baby per couple, has led to gendercide--approximately 100 million girls are missing--in China. One Chinese demographer has admitted that by 2020, forty million Chinese men won't be able to find wives because Beijing's weapon of mass destruction--population control--destroyed the girls.
* There is no recourse for millions of Chinese laborers trapped in poor working conditions. Those who protest unjust wage and labor practices outside of the government-controlled labor union are arrested and imprisoned. Chinese citizens are often persecuted just for going to court to secure rights which even current Chinese law, as restrictive as it is, guarantees them. And the lawyers who seek to help them are threatened, harassed, beaten, disbarred and jailed for doing their simple duty. They join countless prisoners of conscience in China's modern day concentration camps. These are found everywhere in China--more than 1,100 by one count.
* Finally, we heard testimony about China's barbaric policy of harvesting human organs for sale and transplant. China admits it does this. According to China's Ministry of Health, since 1993, there have been over 65,000 transplant procedures performed in China. China's Deputy Health Minister recently stated that 95 percent of the organs for organ transplants performed in China are from executed Chinese prisoners. Of course it claims it only harvests the organs of executed prisoners, and only if they or their families consent. But what value can such a statement have in a country where the death penalty is virtually an assembly line process? Where according to the Department of State's Human Rights Report for 2005, foreign experts estimate between five and twelve thousand people are executed every year? Chinese courts hand down the death sentence for an ever-expanding range of crimes, including nonviolent and political crimes. Appeals are conducted hastily, if at all. In an effort to boost profits, it is reported that some provincial or local officials in China have begun to allow mobile medical vans at execution sites to facilitate the ease and efficiency with which prisoners' organs may be harvested. We have all heard the recent horrific stories that China is now targeting the thousands of innocent Falun Gong prisoners it holds for organ harvesting, and perhaps not even waiting until they are dead. The State Department and the UN Special Rapporteur for Torture, Manfred Nowak, have been investigating. They must get to the truth of these blood-curdling stories, and do everything to stop this shameful practice.
* Human rights are everyone's rights. Governments are instituted to secure, protect and safeguard those rights. Human rights aren't privileges. Human rights are worth fighting for, even when they are costly, and even when it is inconvenient. Our witnesses, Mr. Ethan Gutmann, author of Losing the New China: a Story of American Commerce, Desire and Betrayal; Ms. Rebiya Kadeer, Human Rights Activist, Former Political Prisoner, and President of the International Uyghur Human Rights and Democracy Foundation; Mr. Joseph Kung, Director, Cardinal Kung Foundation; Ms. Thea Lee, Director of Public Policy, AFL-CIO; Mr. Steven Mosher, President Population Research Institute; Mr. Harry Wu; Executive Director, Laogai Research Foundation; and Mr. Lu Decheng, 1989 Tiananmen Square Protestor, who spent 9 years in jail, all provided vitally useful testimony today.

Haunted houses offer different thrills and chills around every corner, just like being outdoors after 9 p.m. Have spooky good fun with this Groupon.
Choose Between Two Options
- $12 for haunted-house admission for four (a $24 value)
- $18 for haunted-house admission for six (a $36 value)
Just in time for Halloween, Laser Island transforms into Haunted Island on October 30 and 31 from 3 p.m. to 10 p.m. Guests explore a spooky space strewn with airplane wreckage, tropical foliage, gravestones—and more than a few frightening creatures.
Laser tag not available during October 30-31.
Laser Island
Exhilarating music pulses amid the remains of a shipwreck, its wreckage scattered across 4,000 square feet of fog-filled tropical beach. Two teams navigate through these surroundings—dodging strewn pieces of cargo, abandoned huts, and a miniature volcano. Black lights cause Laser Island's neon hues to burst to life. The red-orange glow of the volcano's lava, the vibrant green of the painted palm fronds, and the cerulean blue of the walls' ocean horizon all shine alongside the green flashes of streaking lasers. After roughly 20 minutes, the guests emerge and discover which team scored the most points.
Beyond laser tag, the family-friendly entertainment center features a number of activities for virtually all ages. A nine-hole tiki-themed miniature-golf course challenges hand-eye coordination, and the CoCo Climb station allows adventurers to scale a 20-foot coconut tree while safely supported by a weight-bearing harness and an invisible force field. The arcade section tempts passersby to spend a few tokens on games such as Ms. Pac-Man or Air Hockey, and certain games reward players with tickets that they can redeem for prizes at the Ticket Hut. In between games or laser-tag matches, Laser Island refuels visitors with a snack-bar menu that includes everything from pizzas and toasted sandwiches to salads and buffalo wings.

Faroe Petroleum spuds the Shango exploration well 25/6-5S (Faroe 20%). The Shango prospect in Licence PL 627 (named Skirne East by the operator Total E&P Norge AS ('Total')) is located in the Norwegian North Sea on the northern part of the Utsira High approximately 5 kilometres from the producing Skirne field, which is also operated by Total.
Shango is a structural prospect where the primary target is the Middle Jurassic Hugin formation reservoir, which has proved to be of excellent quality in the neighbouring Skirne field. Shango is located on the spill-route from the Skirne field which is producing above expectations and has been interpreted to be filled to spill.
A fast-track subsea development to the Skirne field is planned if the prospect is found to contain a similar gas and condensate hydrocarbon type as found in Skirne. Skirne has been developed as a tie-back to the Statoil-operated Heimdal platform approximately 24 kilometres to the west.

Reader: Richard Koca, StandUp For Kids founder, never acted inappropriately with me
This week, StandUp For Kids founder Richard Koca was arrested on suspicion of child-sexual assault. Given Koca's devotion to working with homeless youth, he had plenty of access to kids over the years, as police note. But one reader says Koca never took advantage of her, despite having many opportunities to do so if he'd wanted.
fuzzygrrl writes:
I am standing up for Rick just as he stood up for me as a child. I met Rick with Stand-Up when I was 13 years old. I knew saw him on a weekly basis for while I was a homeless child for 6 years. I was an attractive young female (aged 13-19) who had been "alone" with Rick more times then I can remember. He NEVER once made any sort of inappropriate move, gesture, or comment toward me or anyone I have ever known. All of the street kids I grew up with had all been abused, either physically, emotionally, and/or sexually. Once there are enough victims grouped together like that you tend to look out for each other, and also become very close and know each others pain and stories. An abused child can see the abuse in another child in a matter of seconds. We would have seen or heard of something like this. If Rick was a "Bad Man" we would have smelled it on him. This is a horrible end for a man who did so many amazing things, not only for me, but for every homeless child I have ever met! I am an amazingly successful person today because of Rick and the countless other selfless volunteers of Stand Up. And as a side note to any journalists who may be reading this... There is another side to this story, our side. Print it please. Street kids that have been positively impacted by Rick are everywhere in this country.

The Supreme Court began hearing arguments today for Shelby County v. Holder, a case that may well strike down a central provision of the Voting Rights Act known as Section 5. The Voting Rights Act is a crowning achievement of the civil rights movement, providing broad protections for minorities' ability to vote, and Section 5 has served as the watchdog over the elections of our country's most blatant offenders of racist electoral practices. Section 5 demands that any electoral changes in nine states, and in parts of seven more be reviewed by the Department of Justice for how they affect minorities. With party preference correlating well with race in much of the South, whites have been able to maintain a de facto hegemony over minority voters through discriminatory gerrymandering and voting restrictions, and Section 5 is meant to ameliorate that.
Shelby County, a suburb of Birmingham, Alabama, is challenging Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act after the Department of Justice called off an election in the town of Calera for violating Section 5.
Though the Voting Rights Act was renewed in 2006 in the Senate, 98-0, and the House, 390-33, the Supreme Court looks poised to strike it down by a margin of 5-4. To Justice Antonin Scalia, the near-universal support for the Voting Rights Act is actually a point against it. It might be worth reading that last sentence again. Here's Justice Scalia's "reasoning":
"The Israeli supreme court, the Sanhedrin, used to have a rule that if the death penalty was pronounced unanimously, it was invalid, because there must be something wrong there."
Scalia probably should have maintained his rule of not citing foreign law (or remembered that he was confirmed by the same 98-0 margin). Scalia turned heads today when he called Section 5 "a perpetuation of racial entitlement." This is sadly ironic, because that's exactly what striking down Section 5 would be.
Unfortunately, Scalia is not the only one expressing skepticism of the Voting Rights Act. Justice Anthony Kennedy, the conservative-leaning swing vote on the court expressed distaste for the old formula to determine which states were covered, and instead suggested (it seems) that no true formula be used, when he said that if Congress was going to single out certain states, "it should do it by name."
Justices Scalia, Thomas and Alito seem like sure bets to vote to strike down Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act, and Justices Ginsburg, Breyer, Sotomayor and Kagan are likely to vote to uphold the Voting Rights Act. It will come down to Kennedy and Chief Justice Roberts, who I normally wouldn't include on the swing list, but since he voted to uphold Obamacare, he's officially a wild card. Still, it was ultimately Justice Roberts' decision to hear this case in the first place, which has to make one skeptical that he would vote to uphold Section 5.
The arc of history bends toward justice, but if the Supreme Court overturns Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act, that arc may get less smooth for a while.

too many white ppl not wanting to speak up bc they're scared of bein ostracized by their white friends…and u know what i'm really sick of? white ppl who never bring up issues on their own. they wait till all the people of color on their twitter feed, on tumblr are discussing something and post a shitty rephrasing of a post a person of color already made and better to seem involved. they try to rehash a point that has been made millions of times to the point where it's common knowledge and play this off like they're accomplishing something. you don't have to teach poc about racism. we fucking know all about it.
y'all are silent 364 days of the year but then when poc are upset about something you decide to chime in with your obligatory white two cents that accomplishes nothing. and you won't bring this stuff up in front of other white people either. not ever. you'll listen to the white people around you being openly hateful and you'll keep your mouth shut. all this talking like you care and then you refuse to confront your racist and hateful white friends because you don't want them to exclude you or get mad at you. if you care about us why the fuck you want friends like that in the first place?
we can tell when you're posting shit just to seem like "one of the good ones" and we can tell when you post stuff bc you're scared the big bad people of color will come for you if you don't and you're just trying to cover your ass

Exact solutions for many-body problems are rarely encountered in physics. The following problem deals with a non-trivial motion of four charges. Due to the symmetry of the problem it is possible to determine the trajectories of the charges analytically.
Four identical particles with mass m and charge +q, orbit a charge −q as shown in the figure. The four positive charges always form a square of side l(t) while the negative charge stays at rest at the center of the square. The motion of the charges is periodic with period T. That is, if the vectors r_k(t), k={1,2,3,4}, describe the position of the charges then we have that
It is also known that the side of the square oscillates between l_min=1/4L_0 and l_max=L_0. Determine the period T in seconds if the parameters q,m and L_0 satisfy the relation
(kq^2)/(m(L_0^3))=10^4 s^−2,where k=1/(4πϵ_0)

Olivia Munn PETA
January 13, 2012 by staff
Olivia Munn PETA, Actress Olivia Munn is the latest star to front PETAs anti-fur campaign, Sexy Olivia Munn is the latest star to bare all for PETA as part of their I'd Rather Go N*ked Than Wear Fur campaign. PETA being an anti-fur group, not Peter a pervy ol' man the stars all like to strip for.
Olivia Munn says: "When you think about even that little tiny trim of fur on your gloves or on your collar – that is still coming from an animal that had to endure so much pain just for you. "There's nothing good about pretending like you don't know."
The I Don't Know How She Does It actress joins the likes of Pamela Anderson, Eva Mendes and, err, Simon Cowell who have all (kind of) stripped for PETA too.
Only we do know how she's done it (she took her clothes off) and why she's done it (for a good cause).
Giving us the perfect excuse to pore (NB pore, not perve) over some celebrity types some more – with a Top 10 BEST EVER PETA photo round up. Because it's all about the animals, right…
Olivia Munn, 31, (real name Lisa) – believes in "rescuing pets, not buying them" and "once kept an orchid alive for five months." She's also the latest star to sign up for PETA's iconic campaign and looks smokin' hot and all.
Pamela Anderson followed suit in her birthday suit, with lines drawn up like a cut of meat and 'Animals have the same parts – have a heart go vegetarian' alongside it.

OFFICE DEPOT's INTERIM CEO PULLING DOWN $200,000 A MONTH
OFFICE DEPOT's INTERIM CEO PULLING DOWN $200,000 A MONTH

OFFICE DEPOT's INTERIM CEO PULLING DOWN $200,000 A MONTH
BOCA RATON — It can't be easy stepping into the shoes of the chairman and chief executive officer of a Fortune 500 company.But this is the second time Neil Austrian, lead director at Office Depot Inc., has taken on the role in an interim basis at the Boca Raton-based company. And he's being handsomely rewarded for doing it.Office Depot Inc. released details of Austrian's compensation after market close Tuesday, saying the company has agreed to pay the interim chief a salary of $200,000 a month as well as 400,000 shares of non-qualified stock options at an exercise price of $4.43. The monthly salary translates to $2.4 million a year.
Austrian's salary began accruing Oct. 25, the day the firm announced that then-chairman and CEO Steve Odland would resign.Odland officially left on Monday in a decision that the company said was mutual. He, too, received a nice package for his troubles, including a cash severance of $5.2 million; payment of his $5 million retention award; and payment of the equivalent of two years of health and other benefits. Odland will also receive part of his 2010 bonus.Odland was paid nearly $5.5 million in 2009, according to a Palm Beach Post analysis of proxy statements and annual reports of Office Depot Inc. The amount comprises salary, bonus, option gains, stock vesting and other types of compensation.
Austrian previously served as Office Depot's chairman and CEO before the arrival of Odland, from Oct. 4, 2004 to March 11, 2005. He stepped up at that time after the company ousted Bruce Nelson because of poor company earnings and a lack of accountability. Nelson had been CEO for a little more than four years.When Austrian last led the company, he was offered a monthly salary of $170,000, or $2.04 million a year, and $1 million worth of the company's restricted stock, according to company filings.At least some investors at the time expressed concern that his salary was too high.Company spokesman Brian Levine declined to comment.

Let's get ShortPixel plugin running on your WordPress website:
- Sign up using your email at https://shortpixel.com/wp-apikey
- You will receive your personal API key in a confirmation email, to the address you provided.
- Upload the ShortPixel plugin to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
- Use your unique API key to activate ShortPixel plugin in the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.
- Uploaded images can be automatically optimized in the Media Library.
- Done!
- Can I use the same API Key on multiple web sites?
Yes, you can.
As long as you have available credits you can use a single API Key on as many websites as you wish!
- Can I test/use the plugin for free?
Yes you can.
We offer 100 free image optimization credits each month. Exceeding the monthly free quota will pause the optimization process till the quota is reset or extended by buying one of our plans.
- Can I optimize images that aren't in Media Library?
You can actually optimize any image you have on your site regardless of its place. You just need to add – in the Advanced section of the ShortPixel Settings – the folders where the images you want to optimize are located and ShortPixel will work its magic and do the rest.
- Can I optimize both past and new images?
You can optimize all your past/current images using our "Bulk ShortPixel" page in your Media with a single click.
- A credit = an optimized image?
Yes, that is correct.
But please note that usually an image in Media Library has 3, 5 or more associated thumbs. Each optimized thumb requires a credit. In the rare cases when ShortPixel does not optimize the image (lossy) with at least 5%, the credit will not be consumed, though.
- Can I restore my images? What happens with the originals?
If you choose the "Image backup" option in Settings/ShortPixel then the original version of any optimized image or PDF will be saved in the backup folder.
The original image is needed if you want to restore an image or if you want to convert an image from lossy/glossy to lossless or viceversa.
- What types of formats can be optimized?
ShortPixel optimizes JPEG, PNG, GIF and PDF type of files.
- Do you have one-time plans?
Yes we do.
The credits that come with our one-time plans never expire. Yummy! 🙂
- What happens to my existing images?
Your existing images are replaced with the optimized ones.
If you choose the backup option then the originals will be saved in a separate folder so you can restore them should you ever need/want to do that.
- How does the plugin work?
Our light-weight plugin sends the original images to our Image Optimization Cloud where they are compressed. ShortPixel then downloads the optimized images and the unoptimized originals are replaced with the optimized versions.
- Do you optimize the images in cloud?
Yes, all the images processsed by ShortPixel are optimized in the Cloud. This takes the load off of your server and allows us to produce the best results.
- What payment methods are accepted?
We accept payments via PayPal and card.
- How do I activate the API key on a multisite?
You have to activate the plugin in the network admin and then activate it manually on each individual site in the multisite. Once you have done that, the Settings menu appears and you can add the API key for each individual site.
As an alternative, you can edit wp-config.php and add this line
define('SHORTPIXEL_API_KEY', 'APIKEY')
where 'APIKEY' is the API Key received upon sign up.
If configured that way, the API key will be used for all the sites of the multisite but will only be visible on the main site's Settings page, being hidden for the rest of the sites.
- How much is a credit?
A credit is used each time ShortPixel optimizes an image or thumbnail by at least 5%. If we're not able to optimize an image or thumbnail by at least 5% then no credit will be used 🙂
Please also note that usually images in your Media Library have 3-5 thumbs associated and a credit will be used for each featured image or associated thumbnail that is optimized.
- Why shall I use a wordpress plugin and not an offline tool?
Because ShortPixel algorithms were perfected while optimizing over a hundred million real-life images.
ShortPixel not only offers the best compression for JPEG, PNG, GIF and PDF files but it also saves you a lot of time. You just install it on your site and then ShortPixel will take care that all the images on your site are immediately optimized after upload.
- Does optimizing images affect my ALT tags?
No, ShortPixel only optimizes images, it won't touch anything else like your HTML/CSS.
- If I stop using ShortPixel will my images remain optimized?
Once optimized the images will remain optimized unless you explicitly choose to restore them. But why would you do that? 🙂
- Do I have to pay monthly or one time?
We have both options available.
One-time credits never expire are a bit more expensive. Check out our prices here
- When can I cancel a monthly plan?
Whenever you want.
The credits you still have available for the current billing period will still be available until the end of the billing period. At the end of it, you won't be billed again and the plan will be reset to the free plan.
- When credits expire?
Monthly credits expire after 30 days while one-time credits never expire.
- Do you have an API?
Yes, we have several APIs and tools.
You can learn more about it here:
- Can I use ShortPixel WP plugin on a localhost installation?
Unfortunately not 🙁
But you can use either our command line tool or our web tool
- How does resizing work?
If you choose the option to resize your images then the featured image can be resized to a predefined size while keeping its aspect and proportions intact. The associated thumbs won't be resized
Using this option you can safely upload original images safely without needing to apply any pre-processing to make them smaller.
- Will ShortPixel work if my website is using CloudFare?
Absolutely! Sometimes you'll need to make sure you whitelist some IPs, just contact us and we'll assist you with that.
- I'm stuck. What do I do?
The ShortPixel team is here to help. Contact us!
Best compression plugin and excellent support
The plugin works perfectly. Support is great. They are very helpful people. I would definitely recommend the plugin.
Fantastic product, awesome support
Shortpixel is easy, very easy, very very easy to use and works great. I'm using it on multiple websites and never ever have to worry about optimizing images again. Yes it does cost some money, but it's worth every penny. And the support is awesome! Responsive, polite knowledgeable and very, very helpful.
good but needs update
This plugin needs update for the new google's algorithm "Guetzli" so google stop complaining about my pictures sizes. Other than that i love and recommend.
good price for the work it does.
Amazing. My site went from 7 seconds load speed to under 2 seconds.
Google still complains
Google can still squeeze my images up to 15% more after SP optimization. For a paid service not impressive.
Great Optimization of Images
Used a few plugins to compress my images but Super Pixel is definitely the one for me, not only did it do a much better compression than other plugins I have used, but speeded up my website really well.
