If the Administration's predictions had come true, unemployment would be less than six percent right now thanks to the 2009 stimulus. Unfortunately, this overly optimistic prognosis has proved misleading as the monthly jobs reports continue to remain stagnant.
It is bad enough that the June jobs report revealed another disappointing month on the road to economic recovery. The economy added just 80,000 jobs, which was not enough to decrease our 8.2 percent unemployment rate.
The 8.2 percent unemployment rate means that June marked the forty-first consecutive month that unemployment has been at least eight percent. The last time this happened, the country was in the throes of the Great Depression.
These poor results have happened despite of the President's policies. Each month the job market continues to stall and even slows, it becomes clearer and clearer that the $831 billion stimulus plan was not the solution to our economic problems.
We need a new direction. The House has already passed nearly thirty jobs bills that the Senate and the President continue to ignore. This summer, the House will focus on alleviating tax and regulatory burdens, two of the primary issues hampering job creators. First up is repeal of the President's health care law, which we will vote on July 11th. Given the recent Supreme Court decision, twenty-one tax increases from the law totaling at least $800 billion remain in place. Officials have already issued more than 13,000 pages of regulations related to the law.
The House will also take up measures to protect small businesses from stifling regulations. The Regulatory Freeze Act (H.R. 4078) imposes a moratorium on any new regulation, except for health and emergency purposes, when unemployment is above six percent.
Then there is the critical effort to "stop the tax hike." The House will vote to prevent a looming $4.3 trillion tax increase set to take effect January 1, 2013. This tax hike would hit everyone and everything from middle class families -- a family of four earning $50,000 could pay almost $2,200 in higher taxes -- to family farms and job creators through higher taxes on income, estates, capital gains and qualified dividends.
We have already seen the ineffectiveness of the President's policies on America's job growth. Now it is time to see how much better off the country would be with the House's plan for job creators.

New Zealand's safe cities, stunning landscapes and growing industries make it a very attractive place to find a job. Looking for work in New Zealand is difficult on account of rising demand but following a few steps streamlines the process.
Find out your current status in terms of New Zealand's immigration and work visa policies. If you are currently outside of the country and are not a citizen then you can either come to the country and establish residency or you can apply for a work visa under the Skilled Migrant Category, provided you have a valuable job skill. Alternatively, you can apply for the Work To Residence Category, which allows you to enter the country as a worker and move towards residence from there.
Get a snapshot of the kinds of jobs available in New Zealand by doing some research on the country's developing industries. Look to specifics in the agriculture, hi-tech and fishing industries that are all among the strongest of the country's sectors. Also, look to developing industries like eco-industry and, surprisingly, New Zealand's growing fashion market to see if there are job positions suitable for you.
Search New Zealand-based job sites such as Seek.co.nz, which is the largest and most comprehensive of New Zealand's online job networks. You should also stay up to date on New Zealand's business magazines such as Unlimited Magazine and get plugged into popular local social networks like Old Friends and Bebo.
Head to New Zealand for an extended stay so you can meet business people, interview and do some local networking. Start off in Auckland, which is New Zealand's largest city, but also look around at some of the more robust smaller cities such as Wellington, Christchurch and Hamilton, where industry is spread out in various fields and disciplines.

Product Reviews
coconuit shell feedersthe 'string' attached to the coconut shell feeders isn't really a problem at all ! If you feel it's insecure attach your own 'cord', i.e. maybe even nylon garden twine which I find (for its usual use) is, with a secure knot, very unlikely to come loose or be chewed through by birds attempting to dislodge or unhook the shell. The size of the shell is not predetermined by RSPB, they can only use and offer for sale whatever/whichever ones they get in ! As for smaller birds getting a fair chance, you cant have it all ways ! !...leave the shell on the ground and it's a free-for-all and they have to take their chance along with larger birds....I find that suspending the shell from the edge of a feeding table does not stop larger birds having a go at it, but leaves better chance for smaller birds....I see larger birds such as pigeons greedily eating from a shell left on the ground but seldom if ever trying to hang upside down in order to cling to and feed from a suspended shell. By Daisy, on 11 May 2017
Much smaller nowI've bought these treats many times over the past few years and the birds love them. However, the boxes bought recently (Oct to Dec 2016) contain much smaller shells. About 30% smaller than before in fact. As the product is priced and sold in unit number, this is a significant reduction in the amount of feed provided. Very disappointed.
RSPB response: Thank you for your review, sorry to hear that you are disappointed. The coconut shells are natural and are bought by our supplier as they come therefore sizes can vary and it is not a decision to reduce the size. However we will pass on your comments to the supplier and check that supply of the shells has not changed. By Just me, on 24 Jan 2017
Coconut shell treatsI think your short cord shells are an improvement.
My daughter gave me wire hanger with two positions to hang
shells on. The long cords caused a collision preventing total
clearance without intervention.
Please offer short cords as an option.
Mix a small quantity (10% by volume ) Niger into sunflower hearts,
It helps the seed to run in the feeder and entices other varieties
to the feeding station. By Nonin, on 24 Mar 2016
Coconut shell suet treats
from £13.25

A best-selling bird food!
Who gets more pleasure out of these, the blue tits, long-tailed tits and other beautiful species who devour them - or you watching them clinging to a suspended coconut shell, contentedly pecking at its contents?
Each easy-to-hang shell contains a nutritious mix of our premium suet, seeds and cereals, and weighs around 275 g. Supplied in a recyclable cardboard box. Filled in the UK.
Most garden birds will eat many different foods. Here's a quick guide to the birds that particularly enjoy this food, though other species may also enjoy it too:

Some nice folks from Toshiba swung by our offices today, and let us play with a prototype of the TG01, Toshiba's upcoming super-phone.
We really like what we saw, though as it was a prototype, we only got a chance to test out its touch-screen and user interface (including a pretty cool 'shake technology' bit), as well as get a firsthand viewing of its incredible high-def rendering of games and movies on a Wide-VGA 800x400 display.
The touch-screen works very well via a combination of swipes and taps, and also features shake technology which allows you to activate and hang up incoming calls by shaking the phone, as well as go back to the home screen.
The phone comes in black or white, and at 9.9mm, is also the thinnest smartphone on the market, but feels comfortably sturdy in the hand.
More specs as follows: Windows Mobile 6.1, powered by Qualcomm's new 1Ghz Snapdragon processor (making it the most powerful phone on the market), 4.1-inch touch-screen, SD memory slot expandable to 32GB, integrated Microsoft Office Outlook Mobile email client, Internet Explorer Mobile 6 for Flash-capable browsing, HSDPA/UPA support, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and A-GPS. The Snapdragon is optimised for low power consumption, which you can further customise by setting the phone to run certain programs in the background.
The phone will be officially announced at next week's Mobile World Congress where the full specs list will be revealed.

To help prevent unfortunate deaths and accidents associated with open mine shafts, the United States Bureau of Mines (USBM) has developed a method for sealing abandoned shafts using lightweight and conventional reinforced concrete. Because the seal's primary material is concrete, the USBM method represents an untapped potential market for ready mixed concrete. In addition to providing a new market for ready mixed concrete use, promoting and coordinating the sealing of abandoned mine shafts can help ready mix suppliers enhance their images as concerned members of the community. The engineered shaft seal designed by the USBM features lightweight concrete with a wet density of about 45 pounds per cubic foot as its key material component. A reinforced concrete cap designed for a 5 psi live load was constructed over the lightweight concrete seal to provide structural integrity. A platform of steel beams and 5/16-inch steel plate was suspended by heavy chains which were attached to two steel beams that laid across the concrete footings of the shaft. This plate supported the entire mass of foam concrete.

If early scholarship offers are any indication, junior offensive lineman J.B. Shugarts of Klein, Texas can expect to be one of America's most highly-recruited players in the coming years.
Just this week alone, he received offers from some of the nation's best programs.
"I received offers from Ohio State, Texas A&M, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Ole Miss," he said. "LSU, Michigan and Penn State all said the offers were in the mail."
Shugarts stands in at 6-7, 295 pounds and has been clocked at 5.15 in the 40.
"I play tackle and I an being recruited as a tackle," he said. "I can play guard. That is not a problem. I don't see myself as a center."
All the early offers might be a good thing for Shugarts, who happens to want to make an early decision.
"I have not thought about making a decision much but I would like to get it over with before my senior year," he said. "It will come down to where I feel the most at home."
All but one of Shugarts's early offers came from out of state. But he doesn't seem to have an issue with leaving the Lone Star State.
"Getting that far away from home is not a problem at all," he said. "My family, both my mother and father are from up north. Most of my family is in Ohio and Pennsylvania."
One school Shugarts is already familiar with is Ohio State. He has already been up to campus.
"I learned about Ohio State because I am good friends with Ashton Youboty's brother," he said. "He is a defense end and defensive tackle here. Ashton Youboty went to school here. I went up to camp. I really loved it up there. We put on hard hats and went around looking at all the construction. That basketball arena looks like something for a pro team. New dorms, all kinds of new stuff. The education center is really something.
"I live in Houston. I am a city guy. I like that the school is in the middle of a big city."
Shugarts also had a chance to meet the Ohio State head coach.
"I met Jim Tressel when I was up there. He is a real genuine guy," he said. "(Offensive line coach Jim Bollman) came in even though he was a week away from the surgery."
Expect this to just be the beginning for Shugarts, who will likely have offers from most if not all of the nation's top programs before it is all said and done.

The Cal State Fullerton basketball team will have its hands full Thanksgiving Day when it plays Marquette in the inaugural Wooden Legacy Tournament. The first two rounds Nov. 28 and 29 will be played at Cal State Fullerton, and the Dec. 1 final will be at Honda Center.
The Golden Eagles have nine returning players, including two starters, from last season's team that finished 26-9 and earned a share of the Big East regular-season title. The teams will face off at 1:30 p.m. Nov. 28 in a game televised on ESPN2.
"This is a great opportunity for our ballclub to host a storied program such as Marquette University," CSF coach Dedrique Taylor said in a statement. "Coach (Buzz) Williams is a friend and mentor and I carry a great deal of respect for him and what he stands for as well as how he coaches the game."
The other first-round matchups are Miami-George Washington, College of Charleston-San Diego State and Creighton-Arizona State.
The Wooden Legacy was formed as a combination of the Wooden Classic, formerly a one-day event at Honda Center, and the three-day Anaheim Classic.

Why Is Oral Insurance Coverage So Essential To
The actual Affordable Healthcare Act demands dental insurance for young children under 18, nevertheless it finds men and women to decide for themselves just where oral well being is worried. That's the shame. The actual connection involving oral health and fitness and general health is usually well noted, and making adult oral coverage off of the record of vital health rewards sends the particular wrong meaning about typically the importance dental health.
Oral insurance is actually exclusive amongst dental insurance for children in numerous ways:
1st, the usually low expense of dental care insurance tends to make it remarkably affordable intended for many men and women and young families. Secondly, numerous people who else purchase dental care insurance begin to profit immediately, due to the fact dental insurance policy encourages, as well as generally pays off for, typical check-ups. The reality is, actually without any federal requirement, people have got bought - and may continue in order to buy - dental insurance plan for the variety involving reasons.
Dental proper care can end up being as easy as the twice-yearly go to for any professional cleanup and x-rays. On typically the other hand, it could involve high priced care, this sort of as common surgery, acquiring a entire set regarding dentures, or perhaps needing the crown - expenses could happen instantly - specially in the event that dental function is needed as any result regarding an emergency. Because bills can arise swiftly, specifically in the event that dental function is needed as the result associated with an crisis - this truly compensates to become covered. Relying on the particular type regarding insurance, individual dental plans typically pay possibly all or even a portion of typically the charges relevant to oral care.
Just precisely how important is actually preventive attention? Well, let us put this this approach: It's significant enough in which some oral insurance programs will actually pay intended for a follow up instantly following new program subscribers are generally approved with regard to coverage.

Montpellier v Sale - Heineken Cup match preview
Danny Cipriani starts in a much-changed Sale side for their Pool Six clash with Montpellier at le Stade Yves du Manoir.
Last Updated: 21/10/12 2:41pm
The former Wasps fly-half takes over from Nick Macloed at No 10 after inspiring a tremendous second-half fightback against the Blues last weekend.
His efforts, which included scoring his team's first try, helped Sale battle back from a 30-12 deficit to belatedly record their first win of the campaign.
The England international's selection is one of eight changes made by director of rugby Bryan Redpath for the Pool Six clash at Stade Yves du Manoir.
Sam Tuitupou and Richie Gray are both unavailable through injury but Tom Brady returns on the right wing after suspension, allowing Mark Jennings to switch to centre.
Montpellier, meanwhile, have named their strongest available line-up as they look to bounce back from their opening-weekend defeat to Toulon.
Mamuka Gorgodze and Fulgence Ouedraogo come in on the flanks while Agustin Creevy starts at hooker alongside prop Juan Figallo.
The Top 14 side also names a new centre pairing of Timoci Nagusa and Shontayne Hape outside half-backs Julien Tomas and Francois Trinh-Duc.
Montpellier: 15 Lucas Amorosino, 14 Pierre Bérard, 13 Timoci Nagusa, 12 Shontayne Hape, 11 Martin Bustos Moyano, 10 Francois Trinh-Duc, 9 Julien Tomas, 8 Johnnie Beattie, 7 Mamuka Gorgodze, 6 Fulgence Ouedraogo, 5 Thibaut Privat, 4 Aliki Fakate, 3 Maximiliano Bustos, 2 Agustin Creevy, 1 Juan Figallo.
Replacements: 16 Rassie van Vuuren, 17 Yvan Watremez, 18 Vincent Pelo, 19 Mickael Demarco, 20 Alexandre Bias, 21 Benoit Paillaugue, 22 Santiago Fernandez, 23 Thomas Combezou.
Sale Sharks: 15 Rob Miller, 14 Tom Brady, 13 Will Addison, 12 Mark Jennings, 11 Mark Cueto, 10 Danny Cipriani, 9 Cillian Willis, 8 Mark Easter, 7 David Seymour (capt), 6 James Gaskell, 5 Kearnan Myall, 4 Fraser McKenzie, 3 Tony Buckley, 2 Joe Ward, 1 Eifion Lewis-Roberts.
Replacements: 16 Tommy Taylor, 17 Ross Harrison, 18 Vadim Cobilas, 19 Richie Vernon, 20 Andy Powell, 21 Nathan Fowles, 22 Nick Macleod, 23 Johnny Leota.
What they said...
Sale director of rugby Bryan Redpath
"We gained a lot of confidence from the last 25 minutes last weekend, but not many teams go to France and win against the top six, no matter how well you've been playing.
"It's a hugely challenging task for us, but one to which we're looking forward. We need to maintain that level of performance and accuracy for longer.
"There was a 15-minute spell against Cardiff where we conceded three tries last Sunday, which nearly ruined a lot of things for us. We're looking to push on and be better this weekend."

Should you play a New or Classic Poker Format?
Should you play a New or Classic Poker Format?
As an online poker player, you are generally spoiled for choice when choosing a format. This also extends across all games, to the point where attempting to select a single discipline is extremely difficult. If we take poker as an example, there are a large number of independent casino chains that continue to develop new and innovative formats for the modern age. While these versions are based on classic variations of the game, the process of choosing one demands careful consideration.
To narrow down your choice, you should first decide whether you want to play a new, innovative format or a classic variation. This will limit your choice considerably, especially if you decide to select a traditional version such as Texas Hold 'em poker. Consider the following factors to make this decision:
Are you Adept at Traditional Poker Forms?
This is perhaps the most important consideration, as players who are skilled at classic versions of the game should probably to these formats wherever possible. While companies such as Betway have created simplistic and alternative formats such as 3 Card Poker, there is little point in playing games of this ilk if you are already well-placed to prosper from traditional alternatives. If you struggle with the complexity and demands of classic formats, however, you should look try your hand at something a little different and altogether simpler.
Do you adapt to Change well?
Do you adapt to change well? If so, then you will have an innate ability to alternate between various poker formats without undermining your strategy or level of gameplay. Those with a flexible and lithe approach to poker as a whole can benefit from switching games, as it helps them to build experience and thrive regardless of the platform that they play on. If you are more rigid in your approach and lack adaptability, however, you should stick to familiar formats that have already shaped your skill-set and experience.
Do you prefer a Specific Gambling Platform?
While all major, online casino brands offer diversity in terms of their available games, it is fair to say that some have more than others. You may have a preferred platform through which you choose to play, however, which will immediately place restrictions on the precise formats of poker you are able to play. This preference may be based on the layout of the site in question or a sense of loyalty that has been built over time, but either way it may have a strong influence on whether you pursue traditional or innovative poker formats.

Boundariesby Elizabeth Nunez
"Boundaries is told in spare and transcendent prose. [...] As always, Nunez delivers a unique and riveting perspective on Caribbean life as well as immigrant life in general."
--The New York Amsterdam News
"Many moments of elegant, overarching insight bind the personal to the collective past."
--New York Times Book Review
"Boundaries is told in spare and transcendent prose. [...] As always, Nunez delivers a unique and riveting perspective on Caribbean life as well as immigrant life in general."
--The New York Amsterdam News
"Many moments of elegant, overarching insight bind the personal to the collective past."
--New York Times Book Review
"If I wore a hat, I'd tip it to novelist Elizabeth Nunez . . . with Boundaries, her eighth work, the storyteller is in fine form . . . [it] is timely and provocative -- and it's written with such vivid prose that, despite the bittersweet ending, you'll step away from this refreshing take on contemporary publishing with a smile."
"In Nunez's latest, the author further explores immigrant life, a life where a hard-working woman can progress up the corporate ladder, buy an apartment in a soon-to-be trendy neighborhood, and still be plagued by outsider's angst . . . A thoughtful literary novel exploring the shadows of cultural identity and the mirage of assimilation."
--Kirkus Reviews
"A quiet, sensitive portrait. . . This work covers a lot of ground, from mother-daughter and male-female relationships to the tensions between immigrants and the American born."
--Library Journal
"Nunez deftly dissects the immigrant experience in light of cultural traditions that impact family roles, professional obligations, and romantic opportunities."
"Elizabeth Nunez is one of the finest and most necessary voices in contemporary American and Caribbean fiction."
--Colum McCann, author of Let the Great World Spin
In an age of reality TV, a husband and wife cling to Victorian notions of privacy, though doing so threatens the life of the wife. Their daughter Anna yearns for her mother's unguarded affection, and eventually learns there is value in restraint. But Anna, a Caribbean American immigrant, finds that lesson harder to accept when, eager to assimilate in her new country, she discovers that a gap yawns between her and American-born citizens.
THE HEAD OF A SPECIALIZED IMPRINT at a major publishing house, Anna is soon challenged for her position by an ambitious upstart who accuses her of not really understanding American culture, particularly African American culture. Her job at stake, Anna turns for advice to her boyfriend Paul, a Caribbean American himself, who attempts to convince her that immigrants must accept limitations on their freedom in America.
TOLD IN SPARE AND TRANSCENDENT PROSE, Boundaries is a riveting immigrant story, a fascinating look into the world of contemporary book publishing, a beautiful extension of the exploration of family dynamics that began in Nunez's previous novel Anna In-Between, and a heart-warming love story.
Editorial Reviews
But Anna is divorced, nearing 40, coping with an ailing mother and facing complications at work. In Nunez's (Anna In-Between, 2009, etc.) latest, the author further explores immigrant life, a life where a hard-working woman can progress up the corporate ladder, buy an apartment in a soon-to-be trendy neighborhood, and still be plagued by outsider's angst. The story begins with Anna, edits completed on a promising literary novel, visiting her home island. She finds her mother refusing medical attention for obvious breast cancer. Anna pressures her to seek care. Eventually the case comes to Paul Bishop, a family friend and now a prominent surgeon in New Jersey. Paul agrees to perform the operation if Anna's mother agrees to have it done off-island. Paul also persuades Anna that they might find a personal connection. Anna's intrigued, but she is anxious about mother's condition and stressed by dramatic changes at work, including a new "assistant editor" hired without her input. The book expands to follow Anna into the jungle of modern-day publishing. After promises and subterfuge, the new hire, Tim Greene, an African-American with an unconventional childhood, becomes her boss. He closes her specialty imprint, making clear he believes her heritage leaves her disconnected audiences who want "chick-lit" and "ghetto-lit." Anna feels lost, trapped by cultural discrimination. She grows as a sympathetic character, and the author brings her reticent British-black culture parents to life as they travel to the U.S., cope with surgery, reveal themselves. Anna begins to understand her parents' love for her in spite of their reserved nature, and she finds their wisdom, and Paul's love, key to coping with the discrimination she faces at work.
A thoughtful literary novel exploring the shadows of cultural identity and the mirage of assimilation.

Chapter OneSeventeen years after Anna Sinclair chose to move permanently to New York and the pain that constricts the heart of every immigrant who has left behind familyy—a mother, a father, sisters, brothers, cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents—the land she loved as a child, the land that nurtured her as a child, has finally become unbearable. She decides to return to her island in the Caribbean, this time not for the week or two she goes every other year, but for a whole month, because her parents are old, her father in his mideighties, her mother fifteen years his junior; because she fears there is not much time left to be with them; because she wants to imprint on her mind's eye the color and texture of the earth once familiar to her as the markings on the palm of her hand; because she wants to savor the scent and taste of the sea she loved, trade winds that suffuse the air in every corner of the island so that even in the swamp-filled land of the prosperous enclave where her parents built their house more than twenty years ago, salt from the sea corrodes metal within weeks and houses bleed orange where nails are hammered into wood slats.
Anna's plan was all this: to spend time with her parents, to gather memories to sustain her through winter days and the suffocating heat of summers on a continent dense with people and the things people make that threaten to choke off forests, rivers, lakes, denuding mountains. It was about closure too. Paula, her friend, an immigrant like herself living in New York, has forced her to admit there are quarrels yet unresolved with her mother, resentments she still bears though she is an adult, a woman one year shy of forty.
Then everything changed.
She is three days on the island when her mother, Beatrice Sinclair, shows her the lump on her breast and the one under her arm lodged in her lymph nodes. The one on her breast bleeds. Neil Lee Pak, the family doctor and their friend, sends her mother to Dr. Ramdoolal, the best oncologist on the island. Dr. Ramdoolal does not need a biopsy to confirm what is plainly evident. Beatrice Sinclair has breast cancer. He tells Anna her mother has allowed the cancer to fester and bloom. Allowed, he says, making it clear that her mother is responsible. Because there is no way Beatrice Sinclair could not have seen, could not have felt the tumors rising inexorably under her skin. No way John Sinclair, her husband, could not have known. The doctor implies this with an accusing glance at John Sinclair, who is in his office, sitting in a chair, on the other side of his desk, next to Beatrice and Anna.
Anna is in shock, stunned by her parents' silence, their complicity in a shared secret that may cost her mother her life. There are four stages, she is told. Surely her mother's cancer is in the fourth stage, surely it is terminal. It has ulcerated, bled.
No, Dr. Ramdoolal says. Her mother has her age on her side and a cancer that is slow growing. She could live to be ninety, he says.
Hope swells her father's despairing heart. She will need chemo to reduce the tumors, Dr. Ramdoolal advises, before a mastectomy is possible. Her tumors are too large. "Bleeding, you know," he says. "We may not be able to stop it."
Color drains from her father's face; Anna's fingers turn cold.
"But not to worry; we'll reduce the tumors," Dr. Ramdoolal assures them. He has one caveat. The surgery must be done in the States. The island has good doctors—he is a good doctor, he says, studied at Cambridge—but the island does not have adequate hospitals. Gurneys in corridors serve as beds for overcrowded wards, and newspapers, not sheets, cover thin mattresses. "Go to the States, Mrs. Sinclair," Dr. Ramdoolal urges.
Beatrice Sinclair refuses. She is a patriot. She will not have surgery in the States. She will have surgery on her island home. She has faith in her country, in her doctors, she insists.
"Then stay here," Dr. Ramdoolal says. "Stay here if you want to die."
His bluntness angers Anna, but terrifies her too.
Prosperity has come to the island on the second wave of an oil boom and the government has built a new hospital, stocked it with the latest newfangled medical instruments and equipment, but no one, it seems, had given thought to beds and linens. Surgery was the thing. Every man for himself afterward. Yet it is not the scarcity of beds and linens that scares Anna; it is the inability of the government to solve the problem of electrical outages that occur with frightening frequency on the island, shutting down traffic lights and turning roadways into a nightmare of cars and trucks snarled for miles around tight bends on the narrow roads. When lights go out and air conditioners no longer operate, work ceases at offices plunged into the sweltering heat. In hospitals, surgery has to be abandoned. There is an article in the newspaper about a patient who died when the machines shut down. And there is another story Anna overheard, whispered to her mother by a friend who does not yet know of her mother's tumors. Bribes have to be paid to customs officers if you want your goods cleared from the shipping docks on time. The woman's cousin, suffering from brain cancer, is forced to wait weeks for chemo. The drugs have arrived on the island, but the doctor has refused to pay the bribe. This is what happens when the government controls the hospitals, say the detractors of the system of socialized medicine the island has inherited from the British colonizers. We forget we are flawed creatures, the sons and daughters of Adam and Eve. We crave the incentives and rewards of capitalism.
"Go to the States," Dr. Ramdoolal implores her mother. "You get service for your money."
There are other considerations. Anna's mother gives another reason for her intransigence. For it is deliberate intransigence, Anna is convinced, that allows Beatrice Sinclair to remain defensive in spite of a death sentence that looms if she refuses surgery in the States, going so far as to accuse the good doctor of maligning his own country, of betraying his own people. She could die, Dr. Ramdoolal has said. But Beatrice Sinclair explains to her husband, John, and her daughter, Anna, that she fears having surgery in a country that has doctors and equipment for Americans and doctors and equipment for African Americans. She has seen the protest marches on cable TV; she knows about the statistics: American jails are crowded with black men.
Anna wants her mother to live. She wants her to go to the States for surgery, but her motives are not entirely altruistic. If her mother has surgery on the island, she, as the daughter, her mother's only child, would be expected to stay by her side. This is the natural duty of a daughter whose mother who is ill. The daughter abandons her work, she abandons her life. This is what Dr. Ramdoolal assumes that she will do, that she will stay on the island until her mother recovers from the rounds of chemo she must undergo to reduce the size of her tumors.
Naturally, she responds. Naturally.
Her father makes the same assumption. When Anna hesitates, he practically begs her to stay. There's no changing your mind? A question asked with all the tenderness and hope of a father pleading with his daughter to remember the days and nights he has loved her unconditionally.
Anna promises to stay, but she cannot stay as long as her father would like her to. She will remain there until her mother has her last round of chemo, but not for the weeks afterward while she recovers. If her mother insists on surgery on the island, she will come back, but in the meanwhile, she needs to be in New York. It has taken her years to climb up the ladder at Windsor, an internationally renowned publishing company where she is head of Equiano, Windsor's imprint for writers of color. Tanya Foster, her boss, has given her four weeks. Anna is afraid if she is away from her office much longer she might jeopardize her position. There are writers who need her, one writer in particular, Bess Milford, whose manuscript she has finished editing and has e-mailed to Tanya. Bess Milford is a true artist, her novel exquisitely written, but it is a literary novel and might not bring much profit to Equiano. Tanya Foster warned her of that probability when she reluctantly approved its acquisition simply on Anna's recommendation. Anna knows Tanya has not read the novel, so she includes a synopsis when she e-mails the edited manuscript, hoping that if Tanya is still too busy to give attention to a book she does not think will be worthwhile commercially, the synopsis will do the trick to persuade her to at least commit to a reasonable marketing budget. For Anna wants to try. She is determined to prove to Windsor that Equiano can still be successful if the company publishes literary fiction by black writers. She needs to be in New York to set the wheels in motion so that the novel will get the promotion it deserves.
Then a stroke of good luck. Paul Bishop, an oncologist who was born and raised on the island but now lives and works in New Jersey, is home for the celebration of his parents' fiftieth wedding anniversary. He drops by to visit the Sinclairs, who are happy to see him. Paul Bishop is the son of Henry Bishop, a union organizer whom Anna's father came to admire and respect when, as personnel manager of the major oil company on the island, he negotiated the end of the oil field workers' strike that was crippling the company. Anna suspects that Paul Bishop's visit is not accidental. She thinks Dr. Ramdoolal has sent him and she is relieved, for he arrives at a time when her mother has only one more treatment left to endure and the decision must be made soon as to where she will have surgery.
Dr. Bishop immediately allays Beatrice's fears. He tells her that what she sees on American TV beamed to the Caribbean is grossly exaggerated. America has changed, he says. There are laws now since the passage of the Civil Rights Act. In his hospital she will be treated the same as any patient, black or white. He offers to do the surgery himself. It takes him a while but eventually he convinces Beatrice to trust him. She does because Paul Bishop is a son of the soil, a compatriot. John Sinclair trusts him too because Paul Bishop's father is Henry Bishop. Anna is grateful to Paul since she can now return to her job in New York. She does not have to choose, to risk interrupting the life she loves in New York: work that is meaningful for her. Her mother has agreed: she will go to the States for her surgery.
But there is more than gratitude Anna feels for Paul Bishop. She likes him. He is not a particularly handsome man, but he has presence, she finds. There is something about him, something comforting and reassuring, which puts her immediately at ease. Though she cannot remember that they met when she was four or five, he seems familiar to her. It helps too that, like her, Paul Bishop is a hyphenated American, a Caribbean-American, with a foot in both worlds. He will be patient with her mother, for he understands the culture that shapes her views, her sometimes seemingly erratic behavior. The next day he calls and invites Anna to dinner.
"I thought you two would get along," her mother says, barely hiding a triumphant smile.
Anna grimaces. She was mortified when her mother kept insisting that her father tell them whether Paul Bishop is single or not. "Does he have a wife?" her mother had asked. But later, Anna must admit, she was glad her mother forced her father to answer. Paul Bishop is divorced; he does not have a wife.
"It's only dinner," Anna says to her mother. "He leaves the next day."
"And soon you'll be in New York."
"He lives in New Jersey."
"My surgery will be in New Jersey where he practices," her mother says.
They are in her mother's bedroom. Her father is in the garden, feeding his fish in the pond that faces her mother's prize orchids. At seventy-two, Beatrice Sinclair is still beautiful. Her husband reassures her almost daily that her head, almost totally bald now from the disastrous effects of chemo, makes her profile even more distinctive. He tells her she looks regal, like the image of an Egyptian queen on an ancient coin. He says he can see her beautiful brown eyes more clearly now, that he loves the way her high cheekbones contrast with the soft slope of her cheeks. He says he always thought her lips were perfect, and that without the distraction of hair, he can see how perfectly her fuller top lip balances the thinner lower lip. He says she has kissable lips. He says all of this within Anna's hearing, for everything has changed now that John Sinclair has breached the code of privacy they share. Her secret is out. She will need a mastectomy. It is the only way to save her life. When Paul Bishop confirms that Beatrice Sinclair has no other option, her husband reaches for her hand. "We'll take showers together, Beatrice." Anna and Paul Bishop were sitting close to them in the veranda when her father said this, but he didn't seem to notice or care. Now he speaks openly of his wife's kissable lips. John Sinclair loves his wife. Anna has no doubt of that.
"You can never tell," her mother says. "You may get lucky like I am."
And her mother is lucky. For over forty years she has been married to a man who adores her, a man who has provided her with luxuries she could not have imagined when she lived in a tiny one-bedroom house in an impoverished part of the city, with a mother who was forced to work in the kitchen of the governor's house because her husband, an inveterate gambler, had debts so huge there was little left to buy food or pay the rent. By contrast, at the end of his career with the oil company that had hired him when he was barely out of his thirties, John Sinclair was in charge of the company's assets in the Lesser Antilles. Until he was eighty, he was given substantial retainers by the government and private companies for his skills as an arbitrator in labor disputes. He has not needed a pension. Only recently has he made use of the considerable interests his shares in the oil company have accumulated.
Beatrice Sinclair is indeed fortunate. Not only does her husband adore her, he can also afford to indulge her whims, which, to be fair, are not many. She likes to keep an attractive home, she enjoys entertaining friends, her garden is a source of pride for her, she loves beautiful clothes (her secret obsession is shoes), she expects, and is given, domestic help: a gardener, Singh, who has worked for her it seems forever; a housekeeper and cook, Lydia, who has been with her for fifteen years; the weekly laundress who comes to her home to wash and iron the linens and clothes; the boys who mow the lawn and trim the hedges and trees. John Sinclair wants his wife to have a comfortable life. He does not deny her the help she requires.
And they resemble each other. Perhaps they did not when they were young, but now their expressions, molded from years of seeing in each other's faces a mirror of their thoughts, have chiseled places where the skin was soft and softened places where bone hardened their features, so that the nose on her mother no longer seems as short as it once was, her eyes no wider than her husband's, and both their smiles curve upward the same way, the furrows on their foreheads gather in the same tiny waves between their eyebrows when they are angry. It helps that they have the same skin color, a rich butterscotch brown that tells the tale of the island's history, the peaceful Arawaks almost decimated by the war-loving Carib Indians who in turn were almost decimated by smallpox and other diseases the Spanish conquistadors brought with them. Then came the Africans in chains to plant sugarcane and cocoa under the lash of French planters who had already established slave holdings in Martinique and Guadeloupe. By the time the English had won their wars with Spain and colonized the island, the range of skin color there was already on its way to varying from pitch black to mocha, chocolate, and coffee—noir and au lait. Anna herself is also the color of butterscotch brown. She looks more like her mother than she does her father. She has her mother's high cheekbones and her deep-set eyes, but the shape of her nose is not the same; she has her father's long nose that bends slightly at the tip. Her lips are neither as thin as her father's nor as full as her mother's. No one has yet said they are kissable. Her father has sometimes told her she is beautiful. Only once has her mother said so. Anna thought she was dreaming. Now her mother wants to be her matchmaker.

Chelsea Clinton told reporters on Thursday that she will vote for Hillary. The main reason is, of course, the climate change issue, which is very concerning Chelsea as a mother of two.
Chelsea Clinton, the only daughter of the Democratic nominee, will vote for Hillary Clinton. Chelsea noted that "voting is so personal," but the efforts of her mother in the addressing the issues of climate change are amazing. Moreover, the Democratic candidate, according to Chelsea, also realizes it's a real opportunity to create jobs in our country.
Chelsea Clinton also answered the question regarding the plans of her family to spend the 15th anniversary of the 9/11 on Sunday. Clinton noted that she hasn't talked to my mother about how she plans to observe the day.

See Figures 1 through 10
The starter is located on the firewall side of the engine block, adjacent to the flywheel or torque converter housing. Early models, use a direct drive type starter, while the later models use a gear reduction starter. Otherwise, the two units are similar in operation and service. Both starters are 4-pole, series wound, DC units to which an outboard solenoid is mounted. When the ignition switch is turned to the start position, the solenoid armature is drawn in, engaging the starter pinion with the flywheel. When the starter pinion and flywheel are fully engaged, the solenoid armature closes the main contacts for the starter, causing the starter to crank the engine. When the engine starts, the increased speed of the flywheel causes the gear to overrun the starter clutch and rotor. The gear continues in full mesh until the ignition is switched from the start to the on position, interrupting the starter current. The shift lever spring then returns the gear to its neutral position.
- Disconnect the negative battery terminal and the starter motor cable at the positive terminal.
- Remove the engine wire harness from the harness clip on the starter motor
- Disconnect the cable from the B terminal on the solenoid, and the BLK/WHT wire from the S terminal.
- Remove the starter motor by loosening the two attaching bolts.
- To install, reverse the removal procedures: re-position the starter in place, replace bolts, tighten the starter-to-engine bolts to 32 ft. lbs. (45 Nm).
- Make sure that all wires are securely connected.
Hitachi and Nippondenso Direct Drive Types
- Remove the starter from the vehicle. Remove the solenoid by loosening and removing the attaching bolts.
- Remove the two brush holder plate retaining screws from the rear cover. Also pry off the rear dust cover along with the clip and thrust washer(s).
- Remove the two through-bolts from the rear cover and lightly tap the rear cover with a mallet to remove it.
- Remove the four carbon brushes from the brush holder and the brush holder.
- Separate the yoke from the case. The yoke is provided with a hole for positioning, into which the gear case lock pin is inserted.
- Pull the yoke assembly from the gear case, being sure to carefully detach the shift lever from the pinion.
- Remove the armature unit from the yoke casing and the field coil.
- To remove the pinion gear from the armature, first set the armature on end with the pinion end facing upward and pull the clutch stop collar downward toward the pinion. Remove the pinion stop clip, then, pull the pinion stop and gears from the armature shaft as a unit.
- Install the pinion and gears on the armature. Install the pinion stop clip.
- Install the armature in the housing. Install new brushes in the brush holder and install the brush holder on the armature.
- Install the end cover. Install the clutch assembly and install the yoke assembly in the casing.
- Install the pinion stopper and bushing. Install the torsion spring.
- Install the front cover and the solenoid on the starter housing.
- Install the starter in the vehicle and check for proper operation.
These starters come in 1.0, 1.2 and 1.4 KW sizes and are used on various models. This type of starter may be identified in two ways. It uses a double reduction set of pinion gears and it has a very wide reduction gear housing. Also, its solenoid is housed entirely within the housing of the starter, rather than in an externally visible unit.
- Disconnect the negative battery cable. Remove the starter from the vehicle.
- Place the starter in a holding fixture or on a work bench. Remove the solenoid end cover. Pull out the solenoid. There is a spring on the shaft and a steel ball at the end of the shaft.
- Remove the through-bolts retaining the end frame to the motor and solenoid housing.
- Remove the end frame. The over-running clutch assembly complete with drive gear can be removed. The idler and motor pinion gears can be removed separately. The idler gear retains five steel roller bearings.
- The clutch assembly is held together by a circlip. Push down on the gear against the spring inside the clutch assembly and remove the circlip with a circlip expander. Slide the stopper ring, gear, spring and washer out of the clutch assembly.
- To assemble, reverse the disassembly procedures. Grease all sliding surfaces of the solenoid before reassembly.
- The stopper ring is installed with the smaller end with the lip towards the clutch. Be sure that the steel ball is in place at the end of the solenoid shaft.
This starter may be distinguished from the Nipopondenso gear reduction starter in 2 ways. First, the armature drives the overrunning clutch directly using a very small pinion rather than through a double reduction, making the gear housing cover much narrower than it is on the Nippondenso. Secondly, the solenoid housing forms an obvious bulge that is separate from the field winding housing. It is used on some 1988-95 model engines.
- Disconnect the negative battery cable. Remove the starter from the vehicle.
- Remove the three solenoid retaining screws from the front of the gear housing cover. First, shift the solenoid away from the plane of the armature to disengage it from the solenoid lever, then, remove it and its gasket. Remove any remaining screws attaching the gear housing cover to the gear housing.
- Loosen the through-bolts retaining the end frame and armature housing to the gear housing, then, pull off the gear housing cover and gear housing, leaving the armature, brushes and bearings assembled.
- From the rear, remove the three screws retaining the gear housing cover to the gear housing. Remove the gear housing cover. Now remove the over-running clutch assembly complete with drive gear and the solenoid lever. Be careful not to dislodge and loose the labyrinth tube and it rubber seal.
- Check the clutch assembly by moving the clutch along the shaft. If movement is not free and smooth or if the clutch does not positively prevent rotation in the counterclockwise direction (looking at the pinion gear end), replace the clutch assembly.
- To assemble, reverse the disassembly procedures. Grease all sliding surfaces of the solenoid lever before reassembly, using molybednum disulphide grease.

Robert Ambrogi
Clio's intelligently engineered new app works with you to manage your practice rather than against you (as some apps do). There is no learning curve—install it and get to work.
Damon D Colbert
I try to be responsive to clients. The beautiful thing about Clio's app is that I can record time on the fly and it's not cumbersome.
Robert Guest
Honestly, I can show up to court with just a phone. That's all I need as a Criminal Lawyer.
Heather McCabe, Esq.
We switched to Clio more than three years ago and have never looked back! If you want to capture more billable time, reduce administrative waste time, and be on the edge of technological innovation, Clio is the answer. I can't recommend it highly enough.
Carol Jones
The first time I used Clio, I thought - finally - I have found the software I was looking for. All the information that I need about one matter, in one place, with billing built in and intuitive to use. And best of all, I can access this all from anywhere I have an internet connection, even my phone.
David T. Garnes, Esquire
Clio is a great law firm practice management program. It helps you to stay organized and on top of your client's needs!
Paul D. Gibson
I have tried other practice-management "solutions" and none has come close to Clio's user-friendliness. Their customer support is the best I have ever experienced for any product or any company. As for the product, the ability to capture time alone has paid for the product many, many times over. I wish I had found Clio a decade ago.
Michael Horwatt
I find Clio a godsend in organizing and operating my practice. It makes keeping track of time, billing, and the practice much easier and more reliable. The longer I use it the more benefit I derive from it— the learning curve to run the operation is extremely manageable.
Timothy Collier
Clio is the nerve center of my firm. From daily notes to monthly billing, Clio provides an efficient platform to get task done.
Brian J. Lockwood
I use Clio for every aspect of my practice, from managing contacts to billing to calendar management, to task reminders. Clio saves me thousands on my bottom line. It literally eliminates the need for a staff member.
Michael Dye
I've used TimeMatters, ProLaw and Abacus. Clio has more practical features than all of the above combined. It also has the easiest and most intuitive user interface. You can do amazing things within a few hours. Most criminal defense attorneys bill on a flat rate. The more time we can free up, the more cases we can handle. Clio started saving me time from Day 1.
Michael G. Hemming
Clio helps me keep a busy criminal calendar organized so that I'm ready for multiple, back-to-back hearings without needing to bring along huge files.
Ease of Use
Clio is an easy-to-use product even for non-tech savvy lawyers and staff. The on-demand educational tools are excellent and the customer support is the best I've encountered in dealing with online providers. Clio has saved me a great deal of time and aggravation in practice management, making the practice of law more enjoyable.
Exceptional Service
The most impressive aspect to us is the high level of customer service. Clio picks up the phone and will set up private trainings to help customize the system. We were very impressed by this.
More Customer Service Love
Clio has exceptional, prompt, and clear customer service. We could not run our practice without the incredible practice management offered by Clio.
Manage Your Law Practice Right
If you are using something other than Clio to manage your law practice, you're doing it wrong.
Clio: Your Business Partner
After evaluating several different practice management systems, our firm started working with Clio. Clio has been a great asset for our firm. It is easy to use for our less tech-savvy users and has a lot of goodies for those that really want to dig deeper into the system. Clio keeps us organized and helps us to communicate better with each other and our clients. Clio listens to us, too. Clio keeps adding useful integrations and makes changes based on our needs. We are thankful to have Clio as a business partner!
Boost Your Efficiency
Clio took our firm into a new age of practice management and we feel like a new firm. We communicate better with our clients, we lose fewer billable hours, we save time on routine workflow processes, and we can work on-the-go, which is important for firms with lawyers who waste countless hours waiting around courthouses. Our waste was cut by 75% within 1 month. We have more time to concentrate on legal work, as opposed to processing routine tasks. Because of the web-based platform with easy-to-understand navigation, training staff and attorneys to use the application was no trouble. In fact, it immediately involved all our people in offering suggestions to improve workflow processes, and standardize firm practices and policies leading to greater efficiency.
Revolutionize Your Practice
The practice management software I used to use drove me crazy. Customer service was terrible, you had to pay for updates every year, you couldn't input data on the fly, etc... When my friend told me about Clio, I was skeptical. I am glad that I overcame my initial skepticism and gave Clio a try. I have never looked back and I can't say enough about the progressive and innovative work that Clio does to make its platform accessible, keep its clients (i.e. lawyers) happy, and help lawyers to interact with their clients in real time and in an efficient manner. I would highly recommend Clio to any lawyer or law firm who is serious about revolutionizing the way they manage their practice.
Seamlessly Start Your Own Firm
Clio has been a wonderful tool for the launch and management of my new practice. Having come from a large law firm environment to start a small boutique practice, I needed a technology solution that was cloud-based and efficient for the administrative side of the business. Clio has been exactly what I needed for the efficient maintenance of contact, timekeeping and billing.
Legal Assistant
We love Clio! It's easy to use, constantly being improved upon and affordable. We switched more than a year ago but, it has been one of the best decisions that we have made. Clio has transformed the firm. We have a satellite office in a different state and have a home office that does all of the billing and account management. With constant travel and our unique dynamic Clio has given us the tools we needed to truly grow our business!
Remote Distance Practitioner
Clio has been a very useful law practice management tool for us with its ease of use, clean interface, affordable pricing, and prompt and effective customer support. It has been an effective cloud-based system allowing access to our database even from remote Alaskan villages.
Solo Corporate Lawyer
Clio is an answered prayer. It has increased my organization and productivity substantially. There really is a 'Clioday' as it saves me that much time. Where billing used to be a most-of-the-day affair, I get it all done in just over an hour. I don't need nearly as much administrative help since Clio creates a virtual file as you work.
Moved to Full-time
When I decided to take my law practice full-time a friend referred me to Clio. My practice took off and I never looked back. It has everything I need to manage my practice in the office or on the go. The customized billing for each client makes sure I never have to lose a client or have a disputed bill. The trust account tracking is indispensable and the partnership with third parties such as Dropbox and Xero makes Clio my everything!
Lawyer and Founder
Clio has revolutionized the way I practice law. We've been able to grow significantly and take a much larger share of the market, and without the added efficiency and integration of Clio that never would have happened.
Clio has become one of the pillars of our practice. It allows us to focus on what we want to do: representing our clients as best we can.
Clio probably isn't actually magic, but it might be close. It centralized all of our small firm's management into one piece of intuitive software, making the business of our law practice.
Clio has helped our firm better manage our cases (big picture down to specific tasks), our contacts, and our calendar. We can also better serve our clients by easily giving them secure access to their cases through Clio Connect. This helps them feel more involved, as opposed to always wondering what their lawyers are doing.
Experienced Paralegal
Clio is a wonderful product. I have been a paralegal for almost 25 years and have used all kinds of software. This product is easy to use, difficult to mess up, easy to train others on, and makes our practice run smoothly. We have a statewide practice and it helps so much to know who's doing what, where they are going on the firm calendar. Worth the investment and the price is great too! We love it.
Solo Practitioner
Clio provides the premier law practice management solution. It saves time for you and money for your clients by allowing you to bill faster with customizable forms, track time easily, give clients a 24/7 view of their files, and communicate securely with your clients. Investing in law practice management software will allow you to differentiate your service from your competitors.
Firm Founder
Clio is a user-friendly and cost-effective law firm management tool ideal for the small firm. Whether utilized for document management, calendaring events, keeping time, accounting or client billing, Clio is the engine that makes our small firm run.
