Finally, the United Nations Security Council has unanimously agreed a resolution to end the crisis in Lebanon. Now, the first priority must be a full and immediate ceasefire to end the suffering of unarmed civilians and make way for peace. The international community must be guided in their actions by a common conviction that violence is never a viable solution.
We, the authors of this article, as well as the organization we represent, the Socialist International, have always defended Israel's right to exist and defend itself. We wish to see Israeli citizens living in peace and security alongside all their neighbors. We have consistently condemned attacks that target innocent Israelis.
Israel claims its actions in Gaza and Lebanon are designed to safeguard its own security. However, indiscriminate use of force and continued occupation will never give Israel lasting security. The response to Hezbollah's initial aggression, as well as Israel's military response in Gaza, is disproportionate. The devastation in Lebanon will take generations to repair, not only materially, but also psychologically. Hezbollah, which claims it is fighting for Lebanese independence and sovereignty, also bears responsibility for unacceptable aggression, placing the lives of innocent Israelis and Lebanese at stake.
We are convinced that the way these policies are carried out will only deepen mistrust, heighten polarization, and embed hatred between neighbors who have to learn to live with each other. A military solution is not viable. War is strengthening the hand of those who regard terror as the only effective weapon, thus creating a breeding ground for more violence, insecurity, and extremism across the Middle East. With moderates being marginalized, the long-term effect will be to undermine democratization efforts in the region.

Jamie Lee Hamilton will not file a complaint against Lu's pharmacy "at this point"
A Vancouver transgender activist won't be filing a complaint against a female-only pharmacy that didn't fill her prescription.
In a statement issued to the media today (July 16), Jamie Lee Hamilton stated that after a meeting with Lu's pharmacy representatives, she has concluded that a complaint to the College of Pharmacists of British Columbia at this point would be "counter-productive".
Hamilton's statement appears below:
Media Advisory
Local Activists Meet with Lu's Pharmacy
Vancouver, BC
Today July 16, 2009, local activists Raigen D Angelo, Sadie Kuehn and Jamie Lee Hamilton met with Lu's Pharmacy representatives.
The 2 hour meeting went well and all parties have agreed to a second meeting to be held within seven days.
It was unanimously agreed that no particulars of the meeting would be discussed with the media and everyone involved in this historic first meeting have agreed that any legal challenges or official complaints to the BC College of Pharmacists at this point would be counter-productive.
The Vancouver Women's Health Collective which operates Lu's will be speaking to collective members and everyone is hopeful that an acceptable resolve will be forthcoming soon.

The Femininjas issued the following <a href="http://www.femininjas.com/2009/07/an-open-letter-to-present-and-past-mem... letter today (July 16):
An Open Letter to Present and Past Members of the Vancouver Women's Health Collective
It has come to our attention that the VWHC has decided to exclude transgendered and intersexed women from Lu's: A Pharmacy for Women. Our concern is that this further marginalizes women in a way that is detrimental to our well-being.
The Femininjas would like to see this change. We would like to help foster a community planning process to implement trans-positive policy through negotiation and dialogue rather than legal action.
We have heard from present and former members of the Vancouver Women's Health Collective who would like to see women's services include ALL women, but who have felt frustrated in their attempts to make change within their own organization.
We have also heard from many members of pro-trans feminist organizations throughout the community who would like a chance to meet and work together on a non-hostile resolution.
Thus, we would like to arrange a facilitated meeting between members of the VWHC and local pro-trans feminist activists, with the goal of changing the policy of the VWHC and Lu's Pharmacy. We suggest sometime between now and Saturday July 25th, at a time and location chosen by members of the Vancouver Women's Health Collective.
If you would like to be a part of this meeting for change, please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com
We look forward to hearing from you by the end of Monday, July 20th.

When did the Straight become the Jamie Hamilton Gazette?

"Historic first meeting"
Does this "woman" have ANYTHING better to do with her time?

Montyvan, when did it become necessary for someone being discriminated against to shut up and take it? So what if Jamie Lee is getting her name in the Straight a little more often than you would perfer? She is doing something very important for all transpeople. if the discrimination were happeing to you, I'm pretty sure that you'd be all over the media too, and be upset when somebody takes exception to it.
Empathy. It's a Good Thing. Why not try it?

Trans Fem, before you judge me based on this one comment, why not look at the comments I made on a few of the many articles published by this paper about this issue. However, when someone gets more coverage than Michael Jackson's death over one small issue in a sea of very serious issues facing this city, forgive me for wondering why Charlie Smith needs to file a report every time Jamie Lee decides to fart in public. It's called OVER EXPOSURE, and it's starting to hurt your cause, not help it.

Monty Van made me laugh with his comment about the Jamie Hamilton Gazette. I'm applying my news judgement, and I've concluded that this is a worthwhile story. Others haven't. The Straight also published a cover story about the Kimberly Nixon battle with Rape Relief, because the editors felt that this was also a worthwhile story. I'm interested in hearing people's thoughts as to why this issue isn't getting nearly as much coverage in the non-LGBT media.

aI am disappointed by the attack of Jamie Lee Hamilton on this issue. This issue involves an organization who has blatantly opened a business that has very clear discriminatory practices as part of their mission. They only provided services to "women born women" and specifically exclude transgendered women who, in my opinion, are the most marginalized in the downtown eastside and are in desperate need of these services.
This business/pharmacy has opened in the same year the following Trans Alliance Society organized petition with over 700 signatures, which included many high profile elected representatives, was introduced into the BC legislature:
To the Honourable the Legislative Assembly of the Province of British Columbia, in Legislature Assembled:
The petition of the undersigned, concerned citizens, of the Province of British Columbia, states that:
WHEREAS transsexual, transgender and gender variant persons in British Columbia regularly experience egregious harassment and discrimination in employment, in housing, in health care, in education and in accessing public services, all on the basis of gender identity and gender expression;
AND WHEREAS a clear, visible and explicit statutory prohibition against harassment and discrimination on the basis of gender identity and gender expression will promote the dignity, equality and well-being of transsexual, transgender and gender variant persons in British Columbia;
Now, therefore, THE UNDERSIGNED, CITIZENS AND PEOPLES OF BRITISH COLUMBIA HEREBY PETITION THIS HONOURABLE HOUSE TO:
Amend the British Columbia Human Rights Code so as to include and to specify "gender identity and gender expression" as a prohibited ground of discrimination for all purposes of that legislation in British Columbia.

Although this is a womens only pharmacy, the owners and any women with issues towards the transgendered community must understand and show willingness towards others who are struggling. We are all victims of something regardless of gender or sexuality. But to place oneself above others in any struggle ruins any effort for equality and understanding. I am not all about jamie lee at all but we all have rights and needs.

The University is committed to creating a working and learning environment free from harassment, bullying and victimisation in which all staff, students and visitors to the University are treated with courtesy and respect.
The purpose of this Policy is to state the University's position on harassment, bullying and/or victimisation, to raise awareness amongst the University community about behaviour that can be considered harassment, bullying and/or victimisation, and to provide guidance on informal and formal means of dealing with harassment, bullying and/or victimisation when it occurs.
1.1 The University is committed to creating a working and learning environment free from harassment, bullying and victimisation in which all staff, students and visitors to the University are treated with courtesy and respect.
1.2 Harassment, bullying and victimisation have a detrimental effect on the working and learning environment and on the wellbeing, health, confidence, morale and performance of those directly affected by such behaviour or who are witness to it and will not be tolerated.
1.3 All staff and students are expected to support and promote the creation of a working and learning environment free from harassment, bullying and victimisation.
1.4 The University strongly encourages any staff member, student or visitor who considers they are suffering harassment, bullying or victimisation to take action using the procedures set out in this Policy. The University in turn commits to take seriously and to investigate thoroughly any allegations that are formally brought to its attention. No person will be treated less favourably for making an allegation in good faith. Where such an allegation is found to be true, action will be taken against the perpetrators, up to and including dismissal of staff or expulsion of students. Individuals who engage in unlawful harassment, bullying and/or victimisation may also be held personally liable for their actions and subject to prosecution under criminal law.
2.1 In this Policy:
2.2 The purpose of this Policy is to state the University's position on harassment, bullying and/or victimisation, to raise awareness amongst the University community about behaviour that can be considered harassment, bullying and/or victimisation, and to provide guidance on informal and formal means of dealing with harassment, bullying and/or victimisation when it occurs.
2.3 This Policy applies to all students, all members of staff, including Emeritus and honorary staff, and all visitors to the University.
3.1 For the purposes of this Policy, the University defines harassment as 'unwanted conduct which has the purpose or effect of creating an intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating or offensive environment'
3.2 Harassment may take place for any number of reasons. A person may be subjected to harassment because they are perceived as being 'different to the norm' in some way or are in a less powerful position than the alleged harasser. For this reason, people who are in a minority position – be it numerical or hierarchical – may be more vulnerable to being harassed. It is important to recognise however, that harassment can occur in less obvious scenarios and outside of traditional power relationships. For example a staff member could be harassed by a student or a manager by a member of staff. In addition, an individual may feel harassed even if the behaviour is not directed at them (harassment by association) or it is directed at them in a mistaken belief that they have a particular characteristic (harassment by perception), whether or not this characteristic is protected under the law.
3.3 In addition to being in breach of University Policy, harassment relating to any of the protected characteristics is unlawful. The Guidance Notes provide further details of these forms of harassment. The protected characteristics are:
3.4 Any behaviour that is unwanted and could be considered as creating an intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating or offensive environment for them is potentially harassment. Typically, for behaviour to be considered harassment, it must be persistent and continue or develop over a period of time. A one-off incident that is particularly serious can however, in itself constitute harassment.
3.5 Harassment can be communicated verbally, be physical in nature, or be expressed through other means of communication, such as letters, digital communication channels, social media, emails, text messages and graffiti. It may be expressed directly to the complainant, occur in their presence or be communicated about them to a third party.
3.6 Often harassment is directly targeted at a particular individual. However, harassment can also be indirect and a prevailing culture, where, for example, banter involving the telling of racist jokes or homophobic comments is tolerated, can also constitute harassment.
3.7 Behaviour amounting to harassment may include:
3.8 These examples are not intended to be exhaustive. They are, however, indicative of behaviour that would be considered unacceptable conduct by the University. Further examples are given in the guidance notes.
4.1 Bullying can be defined as unwanted offensive, intimidating, malicious or insulting behaviour, an abuse or misuse of power through means intended to undermine, humiliate, denigrate or injure the recipient. Typically, bullying is one person against another, or a group of people against an individual. Bullying can also occur in less obvious scenarios and outside of traditional power relationships, e.g. a member of staff may be bullied by a student or a manager by a member of staff.
4.2 Behaviour generally accepted as amounting to bullying includes:
4.3 The above examples are not exhaustive. They are, however, indicative of behaviour that would be considered unacceptable conduct by the University. Further examples are provided in the guidance notes.
5.1 For the purposes of this policy, victimisation is when a person subjects another person to a detriment because they have (or are believed to have), in good faith, made allegations of harassment or discrimination, intend to make such an allegation or have assisted or supported a person in bringing an allegation.
5.2 Examples of victimisation may include labelling an individual a 'troublemaker' and/or refusing to advance them academically or professionally, refusal to provide a reference once the working or learning relationship has ended, or to treating them in any way less favourably as a result of their actions.
5.3 Victimisation is unlawful and will be treated as a form of harassment under this Policy.
6.1 The University defines hate crime and intolerance as 'crimes or behaviour motivated by prejudice, hatred or intolerance that intentionally demean individuals and groups defined by their ethnicity, race, religion and belief, sexuality, gender, conscience, disability, age or lawful working practices and which give rise to an environment in which people will experience, or could reasonably, fear, harassment, intimidation or violence.'
6.2 The University reaffirms its belief that the diversity of its staff and students is a source of strength. Accordingly, it will actively seek to protect its community from prejudice, hatred or intolerance.
6.3 Hate crime is unlawful andwill be treated as a form of harassment under this Policy and the University reserves the right to report to the Police any incident which it believes may constitute a criminal offence.
7.1 Harassment can take place through electronic and social media (Social channels such as Twitter, Blogs, Wikis, Forums, email etc). In sending emails all staff and students should consider the content, language and appropriateness of such communications.
7.2 The use of Social Media has grown considerably over the last few years and the following guidance is relevant to both students and staff:
8.1 On occasion, individual perceptions of behaviour may differ - perhaps due to differences in attitude, experience or culture - and what one person would consider acceptable behaviour may be unacceptable to another. The defining factor in determining if behaviour amounts to harassment is that the behaviour is unacceptable to the recipient and could 'reasonably be considered' to amount to harassment. The intention of the person engaging in the behaviour – whether or not they meant to harass – is not a primary factor in determining if harassment has taken place.
8.2 When considering allegations of harassment, the person hearing the complaint for the University will need to apply a test of 'reasonableness' to determine if harassment has taken place. That is, with due regard to the circumstances, including in particular the perception of the complainant, could the behaviour in question 'reasonably be considered' to cause harassment, i.e. could it reasonably be considered to have created an intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating or offensive environment for them.
8.3 The University recognises harassment as distinct from vigorous academic debate, which is characterised as being respectful, encouraging a variety of viewpoints and having the effect of stimulating and encouraging thought and discussion. Whilst staff and students will clearly hold a range of views on a variety of issues, they are expected to treat all members of the University community with respect and ensure that the expression of their views is not manifested in such a way that creates an environment that is intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating or offensive to others.
8.4 Critical reviews and discussions about behaviour or performance are a normal and necessary part of the University's academic and management processes, are intended to support the development of staff and students and do not, of themselves, constitute harassment. Managers, supervisors and tutors giving feedback should, however, ensure that problems are clearly identified and addressed in an appropriate, constructive and objective way.
8.5 The University also recognises that in some circumstances it may be legitimate to use teaching materials which contain potentially offensive images and/or references with an intention to engage in academic debate.
9.1 Where complaints of harassment and/or bullying are made in good faith, the University will take them seriously and do everything reasonable to resolve the issue including, where appropriate, taking disciplinary action against the perpetrator(s).
9.2 If, at any time, there is evidence that allegations of harassment or bullying have been made vexatiously or maliciously, that false information has been provided or that the complainant has otherwise acted in bad faith, disciplinary action may be taken. Any investigation based upon those allegations may be terminated.
The University encourages staff, students and visitors to take action against harassment using the guidance set out below. No-one will be treated less favourably or suffer any detriment for having raised or supported an allegation made in good faith.
10. 1If a person believes they are being subjected to harassment it is recommended that, where possible and appropriate, those involved should attempt to resolve the situation informally in the first instance. It is, however, up to the complainant to decide how they wish to proceed.
10.2 Whichever approach is chosen, it is recommended that a written record of any incident of harassment is made as soon as possible after an incident occurs. This should be signed, dated and kept for future reference and should include:
10.3 It is difficult to deal with harassment, especially where close colleagues, tutors or managers are involved, but it is important to seek help and to do it at an early stage.
10.4 Human Resources and trade union representatives can provide information for staff on the options available under this Policy. Staff should be aware however, that if specific allegations are reported to Human Resources, the Director of HR & OD may be obliged to take this forward as a formal complaint of harassment. Staff who do not wish to make a formal complaint should take action under the informal procedures below and/or discuss their options with a member of Human Resources or a trade union representative.
10.5 The University can also provide support and advice for students affected by bullying and harassment through the Hub Advice Zone, the Advice and Representation Centre (ARC) in the Students Union, the Counselling Service and through personal tutors. Students who wish to make a formal complaint should follow the guidelines at http://www.aston.ac.uk/registry/for-staff/a-to-z-of-registry-services/complaints-procedure/.
10.6 Behaviour occurring on campus that is extreme and/or violent should be reported directly to Security.
11.1 If a person believes they are being subjected to harassment there are a number of ways to deal with the matter quickly and effectively. An 'informal approach' can effectively address the unwanted behaviour without recourse to formal procedures. Informal approaches can have the advantage of resolving the situation quickly and with minimal disruption to relationships. It is recommended that informal approaches be used in the first instance, as this is often sufficient to resolve the matter without the need for more formal means. It is however, up to the individual to decide if this approach is appropriate to their situation. There are a number of 'informal approaches' that can be adopted, as outlined below.
11.2 Individual Action
11.2.1 The University recommends that anyone who believes they are being subjected to harassment should speak directly to those involved or, if more suitable, put their concerns in writing to them. It may be appropriate to ask a third party to assist. Ideally, the alleged harasser should be approached at the earliest opportunity.
11.2.2 When taking individual action, the complainant or a person acting on their behalf should try to:
11.2.3 Although asking someone to assist with discussions of this type might be helpful, complainants should avoid involving too many people in the situation. This can be counter-productive and may lead to allegations being made against the complainant.
11.2.4 It is advisable to keep a record of any discussions or correspondence at this stage, as this may be useful in the event that further action becomes necessary.
11.3 Support from Colleagues
11.3.1 If approaching the alleged harasser directly does not resolve the situation, or is inappropriate, seeking support from colleagues may be helpful. Asking someone who is not directly involved in the situation to speak with the alleged harasser can often help get the right message across. For staff, an colleague might be their line manager in accordance with the relevant staff grievance procedure or, where this is not possible, the next senior level of management. For students, it may be a personal or welfare tutor and/or senior member of their School. It would not normally be appropriate to engage the support from fellow students.
11.3.2 The colleague will seek to resolve the situation quickly and with minimal disruption. Options may include meeting with the alleged harasser to discuss the allegation and make clear that any behaviour that could be considered harassment under this Policy must stop immediately. Alternatively, the colleague may facilitate a meeting between the people involved to discuss the situation and jointly reach agreement on the way forward. Outcomes may include a recommendation of ongoing mediation to help rebuild the relationship, (see section 12.4 below). In the case of staff, both the Complainant and alleged harasser have the right to be accompanied by a work colleague or union representative to any meetings at this stage in the process. Students may be accompanied by a Friend at their request.
11.3.3 Although asking someone to act as a colleague may be helpful, complainants should avoid involving too many independent people in the situation. This can be counter-productive and may lead to allegations being made against the complainant.
11.4 Mediation
11.2.1 Where relationships have been damaged, the University can help both parties to rebuild their relationship through mediation. Mediation is a voluntary and confidential process which enables parties to resolve issues with the assistance of a professionally-qualified mediator. The process encourages open communication of feelings and incidents and encourages parties to deal directly with the conflict and determine the resolution.
11.2.2 Staff referrals for mediation should normally be made to Human Resources who will first meet with the parties to determine whether the case can be mediated. Suitability is determined according to the nature of the alleged harassment, risk to individuals involved, the individual situation and the nature of harassment. Further information about the mediation and conflict resolution is available from Human Resources.
11.2.3 Students who may wish to consider mediation as a way forward should contact Registry.
12.1 If informal methods do not resolve the matter, or if the harassment is particularly serious, a formal allegation of harassment should be submitted.
12.2 Formal allegations of harassment should be made in writing and include:
12.4 Students who wish to make a formal allegation against members of staff or other students should be directed to the Student Complaints Procedure at http://www.aston.ac.uk/registry/for-staff/a-to-z-of-registry-services/complaints-procedure/ .
12.5 Where a complaint is raised under the Student Complaints Procedure and the alleged harasser is a member of staff, the Officer appointed to investigate the student complaint should inform HR of the allegations and keep them informed throughout the process to enable HR to decide whether and when a separate staff procedure is needed.
12.6 Where an investigation finds that harassment has taken place, this may result in disciplinary action under the relevant staff or student procedure.
12.7 Allegations should be made by named individuals. The University cannot guarantee that anonymous allegations will be taken forward, as the anonymous nature of the allegation may prevent a fair investigation.

Shampoo Prank Makes it Impossible to Rinse [VIDEO]
Subscribe to 106.3 The Buzz on
Pranks are fun, especially when they're harmless and really easy to do. This prank worked out well because the guy who's washing his hair conveniently faces the wall, oblivious to what is going on behind him. Just as he's about to get the shampoo out of his hair, his "friend" adds more, creating a vicious but hilarious cycle.
What kind of pranks do you play on your friends? Do they turn out this well?

DETROIT - Monday
Court in recess.
Courtroom testimony revealed that the Kilpatrick Civic Fund paid for a 90th birthday party at the Antheneum Hotel, the services of a PR crisis manager who once worked with Monica Lewinsky and a Nike golf bag with "The Mayor" embroidered on it.
Earlier on the day, 4 witnesses who all worked in investment management testified about donations they had made to the Kilpatrick Civic Fund in 2007 and 2008. Pugh Capital Management in Seattle, Washington donated $2,000, Chicago Equity Partners gave $20,000, Churchill Financial of Clearwater, Florida contributed $1,000 and Northpointe Capital of Troy handed over $10,000. All the witnesses said that had they thought their donations to the Civic Fund would go towards personal or political campaign expenses for Kwame Kilpatrick, they would never have contributed.
U.S Attorney Jennifer Blackwell asked Michael Nairne of Chicago Equity Partners if he would have donated for Kilpatrick "to go to the La Costa Resort for $8,000?" No was his unambiguous response.
Judy Smith, a D.C. based crisis manager whose life and work serves as the inspiration for a primetime series, testified that she received a call from Mr. Kilpatrick in early 2008 to enlist her aid with the text messaging crisis. For her work over the course of several months, Smith invoiced the former Detroit mayor close to $180,000. Smith's company Impact Strategies received two checks from the Kilpatrick Civic Fund in 2008- one for $30,000 and a second for $40,464. A third check for $25,000 was made out to Smith's L.A. based non-profit Impact Philanthropy. Smith said there was an amount of $60,000 outstanding on the bill that was ultimately struck off by her bookkeeper.
Another witness, golf club salesman William Brane Scott, told the court how Kilpatrick's golf instructor Butch Rhodes handed him a Civic Fund check for $3,050 to pay for a set of Nike stainless titanium golf clubs and a staff bag with "The Mayor" emblazoned on it.
"Nike makes good stuff," said Mr. Scott.
FBI agent Robert Beeckman took the stand again today to discuss telephone conversations recorded as part of wire taps. Amongst those was a Wayne County Jail conversation between Kilpatrick and his sister Ayanna to plan the 90th birthday celebration for their grandfather Marvell Cheeks. The jailhouse party planning included snippets of Kilpatrick telling his sister "momma we gotta do something really nice for grandaddy's birthday" and "get like a DJ to play that big band sound."
The party for 140 guests was held on the 8th floor of the Antheneum Hotel in May 2009. Menu items included Chicken Tarragon, medley of vegetables, roasted potatoes and a large birthday sheet cake. On a total bill of more than $7,000, a payment of $2,500 was made with a Civic Fund check and a further $3,800 was paid in cashier's checks.
Other recorded conversations included wire taps of Bernard Kipatrick's cell phone conversations. On one call he could be heard soliciting a donation for the Kilpatrick Civic Fund from Abner McWhorter of Expression Publishing in Detroit. How much asked McWhorter?
"Big sellers, 20, 25. If you can do 5, that would be really cool," replied Bernard.
The last wire tap was for a conversation between father and son Kilpatrick about how to pay a hotel stay in Orlando, Florida. Bernard is at the front desk and having issues because they need the check to be certified and signer Christine Beatty is nowhere to be found. The check from the Civic Fund was ultimately not negotiated for that stay.
A debit card for the Civic Fund was used to transact two payments of $367.89 at the Marriott Cyprus Harbor in Florida. John Shea, lawyer for Bernard, showed evidence that Bernard had used his American Express card to pay for flights, meals and car rentals.
"So the only expense charged to the Civic Fund debit card on this multi thousand trip would be the $367 room charge?" Shea asked the witness.
"Yes," replied Beeckman.
The Kilpatrick Civic Fund wrapped up.
The day got off to an interesting start with the glaring absence of former Detroit water department boss Vicor Mercado and one of his lawyers, Martin Crandall, from the courtroom. Judge Nancy Edmunds informed the court that they were in the building reviewing some documents. Mercado's absence generated much more of a buzz than his presence ever did as it had the rumor mill swirling at full tilt as to what he could possibly be doing.
More witnesses testified to receiving checks from the Kilpatrick Civic Fund. Linda Byrd, former head of A Step Ahead preschool in Detroit, told the court that she received a $5,000 check from the Civic Fund for the preschool's graduation activities in 2002, the same year Kilpatrick twins Jelani and Jalil graduated. In earlier questioning of IRS agent Ron Sauer, Kwame defense lawyer Jim Thomas had implied that the twins had graduated a year earlier.
Graduation activities included a "Kinder Prom" with a formal dance, a graduate trip, speeches and performances and the actual ceremony. Byrd testified that she spoke with Carlita Kilpatrick, a member of the school's PTO, about the possibility of inclement weather during graduation and the need to buy a tent. Shortly thereafter, Carlita returned with the Civic Fund check for $5,000.
Realtor Aaliyah Salaam testified that her company, Regality Management Services, received payment from the Civic Fund when the Kilpatrick family signed a 6 month lease on a temporary apartment rental in September 2008. On an invoice of $17,500, 3 checks totalling $12,800 were issued from the Civic Fund as partial payment.
The court also heard about more Civic Fund solicited donations from companies. Gwendolyn Butler of Chicago-based investment managers Capri Capital Partners testified to donating $5,000 in July 2008 and David Upmeyer of Tetra Tech, a consulting engineering firm that has worked with Detroit's Water and Sewerage Department for 20 years, said they gave $4,000 in June 2008.
Investment banker Fred Prime testified that his company Loop Capital Markets made four donations of $10,000 to the Civic Fund. Prime said that after hearing news reports in 2008, his company opted to give no further donations to the non-profit.
Mr. Thomas got the banker to concede that he sometimes conducts business during golf outings. This was obviously in reference to testimony that a Civic Fund check for more than $3,000 was used to buy golf clubs and a bag embroidered with "The Mayor".
U.S. Attorney Eric Doeh was having none of it.
"Did Loop Capital purchase your clubs?, he asked the witness on redirect. No answered Prime.
The last witness on the day was IRS agent Rowena Schuch. Her testimony went directly to discrediting some of the earlier defense cross examination of IRS agent Ron Sauer. With regards to a Civic Fund payment of $1,026 to Joan Anderson Travel, Bernard Kilpatrick's lawyer John Shea had intimated that Bernard may not have been in New Orleans in early February 2008. But the IRS had credit card charges for a meal, hotel and some jewelry that proved he most definitely was there in that time frame.
The best word play of the day went to Jim Thomas. Earlier in the trial, Thomas had cross examined agent Sauer about a stay at the Sonnenalp Resort in Vail, Colorado that was paid in part with a Civic Fund check for more than $1,000. The defense lawyer had implied that the former mayor was there to attend a National Conference of Mayors.
Agent Schuch testified today that the IRS subpoenaed the shedules for any possible conference of mayors- they never found a National Conference of Mayors- and none of them listed a meeting in Denver in November 2002.
"Did you ever talk to anyone in the mayor of Denver's office?" Thomas asked a perplexed Schuch.
So it's not a "National Conference of Mayors" but a "conference with the mayor."
Homeless shelter owner Jon Rutherford testified that between 2000 and 2003, he doled out nearly half a million dollars to Kwame and Bernard Kilpatrick. And he did it because he wanted to build a huge casino project on the East Riverfront that would have yielded him a payout of $25 million.
Rutherford was sentenced to 21 months on tax charges in January 2011. He could get a reduced sentence as a result of his testimony in the Kilpatrick federal trial.
The witness ran a non-profit called Metro Emergency Services that provided services to the homeless and to the mentally ill. At its peak, MES generated $38 million a year. He also had a for profit business called DPR Management LLC that charged MES rent.
Rutherford testified about various payments he made to Kwame and Bernard Kilpatrick. He was initially introduced to Kwame by Curtis Hertel, former Michigan Speaker of the House. The witness told the court how he was so impressed by Kwame's intelligence, drive and ability to interact with people.
"I thought the world of him," said Rutherford.
In a 2 week period in September 2000, Rutherford gave $100,000 to the 21st Century Fund, the Democratic PAC. He said that he donated the money with two clear conditions. The first was that Kwame would be in charge of distributing the funds. The second was that if the Democrats won the state House elections in November 2000, Kwame would get to be the Speaker. If they lost, he would be minority leader. Kwame was ultimately elected House minority leader.
Then came Kwame's mayoral aspirations. Between April and November of 2001, Rutherford supplied Kwame with $184,000 to help make his dreams a reality. Rutherford circumvented strict campaign financing laws by donating to Kwame's non-profit Kilpatrick Civic Fund and the Next Generation Detroit political action committee. He also wrote a series of checks totaling more than $97,000 to Kwame's Community Coalition in the days leading up to the mayoral election.
But that wasn't enough.
Rutherford testified that on election day, he was at a funeral when he got a call from Bernard saying they needed more money. The witness said he met with someone from the Community Coalition to give them a check for $20,000. Because of the late hour, the banks were closed so Rutherford arranged for the check to be cashed at a grocery store.
Even after Kwame was elected mayor of Detroit, Rutherford continued to bankroll him.
First there were the suits. At a May 2002 fund-raiser for Kwame's mother, then-congresswoman Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick, the former mayor approached Rutherford for $10,000 to buy suits for a trip to Dubai.
The businessman didn't hesitate for a second. "He's my guy", said Rutherford. "I said 'I'll take care of it."
During a 2002 dinner with the Kilpatrick family at the Green Valley Ranch Resort in Las Vegas, Kwame informed Rutherford that he needed some more cash. Rutherford gladly handed over somewhere between $2,000 to $5,000.
And when a mutual friend called Rutherford and suggested he hire on Bernard as a consultant for $10,000 a month, he again complied. Over an 11 month period beginning in 2002, Rutherford paid Bernard's Maestro Associates $113,000.
All told, Rutherford paid Kwame and Bernard checks totaling $440,275. And that figure doesn't include the $10,000 for the suits, the $2,000 to $5,000 handout at the restaurant in las Vegas or the championship boxing tickets that went for $1,200 a piece (the Lennox Lewis/Hasim Rahman November 2001 title match in Las Vegas).
And what was the goal of the handouts to the former mayor and his father. Did the witness need Kwame for his ambitious East Riverfront casino project asked the prosecution?
"I couldn't have done it without him," conceded Rutherford.
Nearly half a million dollars later, Rutherford's casino project never got off the ground.
Three sisters testified to signing money orders on Bobby Ferguson's instructions in order to circumvent limits on personal donations to Kwame Kilpatrick's mayoral campaign.
Ferguson's former lover Renee Newsome testified along with sisters Josephine Johnson and Darlene Jefferson to being asked to sign money orders in July 2004. The contractor presented each of the women with 4 money orders totaling $3,400. The orders were unambiguously made out to "Kilpatrick for Mayor". The limit for personal contributions to a political campaign is $3,400.
When Ferguson heard that his girlfriend of 7 years was to be questioned by the FBI, he told her to "stick to your story." Newsome admitted that as a result she initially lied to investigators about the money orders.
U.S. Attorney Jennifer Blackwell asked the witness what Ferguson meant when he said that.
"That the money was mine," replied Newsome.
Newsome's sister Darlene Jefferson testified that in 2005, before she was due to testify to a grand jury, Ferguson came into her bedroom and told her to say that the money never came from him. Jefferson said that Ferguson warned her if she didn't, it would fall back on her sister Renee and "she would get in trouble for the money order."
All three sisters were refunded the full amount of the campaign contributions around the time they were being questioned by the FBI. They testified they never returned the money to Ferguson.
Earlier in the morning, convicted businessman Jon Rutherford was asked by Kwame Kilpatrick defense lawyer Jim Thomas if he had any expectation of remuneration or reward for his various financial contributions to the Kilpatricks. No replied Rutherford. This seemed contrary to yesterday's testimony which indicated he hoped that he would land an ambitious casino project on the East Riverfront in return for his financial favors.
Witness Ahmad Chebbani, the co-founder of the Arab-American Chamber of Commerce, told the court about a trip to Dubai in May 2002. Chebbani led a Detroit trade delegation that included Kwame Kilpatrick, his former bodyguard Loronzo Jones and former aide Derrick Miller. On the last night of the four day trip, Kilpatrick left in the middle of a dinner with high-ranking Dubai officials in order to get fitted for a suit. Yesterday Rutherford testified to giving Killpatrick $10,000 for suits for the Dubai trip.
Upon return from the trip, Chebbani said he got a call from Miller asking about the shipping of suits. The witness said he was surprised by the question and told him he knew nothing about it. Miller told him that it seemed the suits had gotten lost in the mail.
Ernest Johnson of non-profit Community Coalition testified that he was contacted by Bernard Kilpatrick in 2001. Kilpatrick wanted the civic organization to endorse Kwame for mayor in the upcoming election. Johnson testified to receiving nearly $90,000 from Rutherford's DPR Management LLC to help pay for staffers who distributed election brochures and drivers who would take voters to the polls. On election day in November 2001, Johnson met with Rutherford to get a check for several thousand which he cashed at a grocery store.
"People at the top of the slate pay the slate," said Johnson.
Court resumes Monday at 9AM.

I had Radiesse injection a little over 2 mo's ago and a day later I notice a small bag under my right eye, when I returned to the Dr. office I was told it was water and to use cortisone for 2 weeks when that did nothing they told me they would laser the area and I should see results in a month... it's been over a month the bag is still there. Has anyone had this issue before and should I be very concerned?

Festoon after filler injection
You have a festoon, which is a collection of fluid/swelling in the junction of upper cheek and lower eyelid area. This is a the area of the face that acts as a sponge and has tendency to collect fluid/swelling from any trauma to the upper face/eyelid area. This anatomical area may be okay for a while and a trauma, such as filler injection, can set it off. It is also possible that something (?Radiesse) is still irritating the area, causing continued swelling. Improvement is possible over next few months and avoiding salty diet but it may not go away. Consult an oculoplastic surgeon for possible treatment options.

Radiesse Bumps Under the Eyes
Hi Chit. We think Dr. Persky was being very generous regarding the caution in using Radiesse around the eyes. Most practitioners will not use Radiesse around the eyes.
Because of the thickness of the product and the thin skin in the under eye area, the product is not a great match. It is much more appropriate for cheeks where it can be placed deeper.
With that said, we have not heard of any way to remove it other than waiting. The body will normally metabolize Radiesse over a period of about 1 year. If the product has been placed very superficially then Ulthera and/or laser treatments may help, although we do not have proof of that. It is only based on the concept that radiofrequency, ultrasound or light (laser) generate heat and my speed up the process of degrading the product.
Sorry we cannot be more help.

Radiesse in Tear Trough
This look is most likely remnant filler. Unfortunately, this cannot be dissolved like the HA fillers. Once it does dissolve, you could consider Restylane - a better choice for the tear trough. Kenneth Hughes, Los Angeles

Bump Under Eye After Radiesse
From what I can tell, this looks like a bit of product that was injected where it shouldn't have been. The anatomy under the eye is complex and unforgiving, meaning injection of Radiesse (or any filler for that matter) under the eye is best left to the very most experienced physicians. To me, that does not in any way look like "water" and cortisone will have no impact whatsoever (even if it was). Stop using the cortisone, as steroids on the face can lead to skin thinning. I recommend seeing another physician next time you have Radiesse injected, and consider another substance like Restylane instead. In the meantime, massage the area to help the body break it down.
Radiesse and small bag under eye
I agree with Drs. Kaplan and Persky in that Radiesse should not be used around the eye area, unless it's done by an incredibly experienced physician and placed very, very deeply and layered with a softer filler like Restylane or Juvederm on top of it. Unfortunately the eye area is extremely thin skin and Radiesse is a thicker, harder filler, more similar to bone calcium. Thus injecting it into this area can leave pockets of filler or whiteness that simply cannot be fixed because there is no product that removes Radiesse. Injectable cortisone is sometimes used, though I'd say with very small effectiveness, and I wouldn't do this in the eye area. You could try a deeper laser treatment like Ultherapy or ST Refirme or Titan in this area, but putting too much heat there can also cause atrophy to the area and you could potentially end up with a deep pocket of fat/collagen loss. Thus, my most simple opinion is that you're going to have to wait this one out. Radiesse in the eye area can take a year or so to resolve, and I hate to say that, but it really shouldn't be used in the soft, thin areas of the face.
Best Treatment for Fluid Bag Under Eye After Radiesse Injections
Hi Chit,
Unfortunately Radiesse cannot be dissolved with injections. It must be used very cautiously around the eyes. We have treated patients over the past two years with Ulthera (micro-focused ultrasound) and some patients have told us that it seems that their "filler went away after the treatment." This was in patients in whom we were not trying to dissolve filler. I believe that a few had felt that their Radiesse had been dissolved. In your case it may be worthwhile to give Ulthera an attempt to help with the swelling. Good luck and be well.

Slum landlord launches appeal (Evening Times)
GLASGOW slum boss Mohammed Aslam has launched an appeal after being
banned as a landlord.
The Evening Times revealed in November he had been sequestrated over
massive council tax debts owed to the city. That meant his estate - understood
to be more than 39 properties he rented out to families - was put into the
hands of accountants.
It followed a decision by Glasgow City Council to reject his application to
be a legitimate landlord after officials were forced to shut a home he rented
to a large family because of health and safety fears.
Now it has emerged tenants are still being charged to live in homes that
were controlled by Mr Aslam after he decided to use a legal loophole to
go on trading.
He has lodged an appeal through the courts against the council's decision
to throw out his application to be a legitimate landlord. Until a court ruling
is made he is able to rent out his flats.
A home the council forced him to shut because of disgusting and dangerous
conditions is again being rented to a young family after emergency repairs.

Slum landlord loses appeal to rent flats (Evening Times)
GLASGOW slum landlord Mohammed Aslam has lost his bid to continue
renting flats.
The Evening Times revealed last April how a property owned by him in
Allison Street, Govanhill, had been forcibly shut.
Four adults and seven children, who were Slovakian Roma, were living in
the top floor flat, which was riddled with cockroaches.
A toilet had been set up next to a cooker, there was no heating or hot
water, the flat was damp, sinks were not connected and the electrics were
It was the first time in 20 years Glasgow City Council had stepped in and
imposed a closure order on a private property.
An investigation found Mr Aslam, who is understood to rent more than 39
properties to families, had not registered to operate as a landlord.
In September he was banned from the Register of Private Landlords when
the council used anti-social behaviour legislation against him.
His appeal to register was thrown out and in November the council successfully
ordered the seizure of his estate over council tax debts totalling £116,000.
As he is bankrupt, his estate was put into the hands of accountants.
Mr Aslam appealed through the courts against the decision to ban him
from being a legitimate landlord.
Now, Sheriff Anthony Deutsch has thrown out the appeal because all the
properties Mr Aslam previously owned are in the hands of the trustees of
his estate.
It means the council's refusal to let Mr Aslam join the Register of Private
Landlords will stand.
The question of whether he is a fit and proper person to be a landlord was
not considered by the court.
Mr Aslam has 21 days to appeal the decision but can do so only on a point
of law.

Citys slum timebomb (Evening Times)
Private rented slums are so out of control in an area of Glasgow that urgent
government intervention is needed, according to a city housing association.
Govanhill Housing Association has asked the Scottish Parliament to set up an
inquiry into slum landlords and inject cash to defuse a social and environmental
time bomb.
MSPs are today being told how landlords are failing to maintain their properties,
leaving people living in dangerous and intolerable conditions which are hampering
neighbourhood improvement.
Officials have outlined details of rat infestation, mounting rubbish, substandard
accommodation and structurally dangerous buildings.
The situation is so severe and widespread that council resources are thought
inadequate to make any real difference. Help is now being sought from Holyrood
to prevent the area deteriorating further into a major health and safety hazard
In a report to the Scottish Parliament petitions committee, the housing association
● The proliferation of private landlords in Govanhill is a key factor in the spiral
of social decline and physical deterioration.
● Additional resources are needed immediately in relation to pest/infestation
treatment, as the volume and level of rat, cockroach and bedbug infestation
is out of control.
● The Landlord Registration Scheme is not robust enough to stop rogue landlords
letting out sub-standard accommodation at market rents to vulnerable tenants.
In recent years the population in Govanhill has rocketed by more than 50%,
to about 16,000, with the area now home to thousands of Slovakian Roma people,
many in large family groups, putting extra pressure on the housing supply.
The Evening Times has highlighted the living conditions in Govanhill and reported
action taken against slum landlords. Last year Mohammed Aslam was banned
from renting out his estimated 39 properties after he failed to register and ran
up council tax debts of more than £100,000.
One of his properties, a cockroach-infested flat in Allison Street, was closed
down after it was found to be housing four adults and seven children with no
hot water.
Glasgow City Council has already identified properties for urgent work with
some currently under way, but admits future work will be curtailed by a budget
Five addresses in Allison Street, Westmoreland Street and Langside Road are
subject to ongoing major repair projects.

yesterday how a cockroach-infested flat in Govanhill - where 11 Slovakian
Roma were living - had to be shut down because it was in such a disgusting state.
The top-floor property, one of around 60 owned by Mohammed Aslam, had
no heating or hot water, was damp and had a toilet next to the cooker. The
council put a closure order on the property.
Today deputy council leader Jim Coleman said he believed hundreds of
people could be living in similar horrendous conditions.
And he warned it was only a matter of time before a disaster happened.
Mr Coleman has called a series of top-level meetings in the city council
and is to press the Scottish Government for a change in the law.
Because the seven children and four adults living in the flat in Allison
Street were all from the same family, Mr Aslam did not have to register
the property as a House in Multiple Occupation (HMO).
That requires landlords to follow a set of stringent rules to ensure the
house or flat is in good condition.
But people from the same family can live in a property without the landlord
having to apply for an HMO licence - and the council has limited power to

Slum landlord blocked from renting flats (© Evening Times)
One of Glasgow's most notorious slum landlords has been blocked from renting
out properties.
Mohammed Nawaz, who owns a host of flats in Govanhill, is now banned from
acting as a private landlord and letting agent. He was found to own eight flats
in the South Side community as well as acting as a letting agent for 18 properties
through his business Dixon Properties, on Cathcart Road.
A council source said Mr Nawaz, who rents out properties in Westmoreland, Daisy
and Govanhill Streets, among others, is one of Glasgow's worst slum landlords.
Glasgow City Council moved to stop Mr Nawaz entering his name on the Private
Landlord's Register after it found him in breach of more than half a dozen rules.
Investigators found Mr Nawaz:
failed to apply to register as a landlord until repeatedly asked to do so
failed to declare all the properties that he owned and let
failed to provide information that would allow an accurate disclosure check
against an alternative identity
failed to provide evidence of appropriate housing insurance
failed to provide evidence of compliance with gas safety standards
failed to observe tenants' rights to complain to the Private Rented Housing
owes the council in excess of £18,00
Mr Nawaz was also held to be responsible for the poor management of two
properties that were found to be below standard while acting as a letting agent.
He also acted as letting agent for a property that was the subject of a Repairing
Standard Enforcement Order.
The refusal to enter Mr Nawaz's name into register of private landlords authorises
the council to serve rent penalty notices against him if he does not cease to be a
landlord. This means Mr Nawaz would be unable to claim rent against the eight
properties he owns in Govanhill.
And all 16 owners of the 18 properties for which he acts as a letting agent will be
asked to sack him, or face having their own applications for landlord registration
Councillor Gordon Matheson, leader of Glasgow City Council, said: "It has been
shown on a number of counts that Mr Nawaz is not a fit to be a landlord."
Landlords who have been refused registration have the right to appeal to the Sheriff
Court within 21 days of the initial decision.

Transfer Laron Holt had a big day (15 points, 14 rebounds) in his first game as a Red Devil as Peekskill beat Poughkeepsie 70-59 in the Daniel "Butterfly" Washington Showcase at Newburgh.
The 6-foot-5 junior transferred to Peekskill from John F. Kennedy in New York in the spring of last year.
Holt wasn't the only big man to put up solid numbers. Peekskill forwards Musheed Mahammad (10 points, 10 rebounds), Neorck Brown (12 points, six rebounds) and Anthony Guerrero (six points, eight rebounds) all helped the Red Devils dominate the Pioneers in the paint and limit their second-chance opportunities.
"Everyday during practice we to hit the boards," Holt said. "That saves games."
The Red Devil backcourt also did their part. Chavis Pigott had 12 points while Ramon Searight added 10.
Balanced play is what Peekskill coach Lou Panzanaro expects this year considering the make up of his team.
"I said to them, 'There is nobody here that's going to Duke, Kansas or Indiana, we got to rely on each other and trust each other,'" Panzanaro said. "We're going to be a team-scoring team. We don't have a star."
The win comes against a Poughkeepsie team that returned all but three of its players from last year's run to the sectional final where the Pioneers fell to eventual state runner-up Tappan Zee.
Poughkeepsie, led by Jermar Dancy with 21 points, was without Ray Knight and Brandon Weir, two of last year's starters, both out with injuries.
Poughkeepsie coach Brian Laffin didn't view that as an excuse though.
"I think we had enough to get it done without that," said Laffin of missing his the two starters. "Credit to Peekskill's aggressiveness and us not executing."
While the Red Devils played far from a perfect game, committing what Panzanaro estimates to be around 30 turnovers, opening the season with a win against one of the favorites in Class A in the section isn't a bad way to start.
"Great win," Panzanaro said. "Great way to start the season. I'm sure both of us are going to get much better throughout the season."
Read more about the game in tomorrow's Journal News.

Thomas John Lashinski Jr., 29, Little Falls, was charged Aug. 14, with one felony count of fifth degree possession of a controlled substance, one gross misdemeanor count of DWI and one misdemeanor count of failing to stop for an accident.
On Aug. 12, a Little Falls police officer learned of a hit and run accident near the Post Office on Broadway Avenue. Witnesses said it was a red Dodge truck.
Later the same morning, the officer learned of a red pickup acting strangely. He observed a red Dodge pickup with damage to the passenger side consistent with the hit and run accident.
The vehicle was stopped and Lashinski was identified. Allegedly, Lashinski's eyes were glossy and his motor coordination was slow and deliberate. His words were slurred and his pupils were very constricted and the officer said he appeared to be under the influence of a controlled substance.
According to the criminal complaint, Lashinski admitted he was involved in the hit and run accident earlier.
Field sobriety tests were performed and Lashinski performed poorly. His breath test came back at 0.00. He was placed under arrest for driving under the influence of a controlled substance and leaving the scene of an accident.
While at the jail, Lashinski gave a blood test which was sent to the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension for testing.
During a search of Lashinski's vehicle, a baggie was allegedly found which field-tested positive for methamphetamine, along with other drug paraphernalia.
An examination of Lashinski's driving record showed he was previously convicted in Stearns County in May 2007 of driving while under the influence.
If convicted, Lashinski faces a maximum penalty of five years in prison and/or a $10,000 fine.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 8/3/2014 (1260 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Chantel Henderson found her way home twice as a missing teen.
She walked in the 2014 International Womens' Day march on Saturday for all the girls and women who never did.
About 200 people of all ages participated in the 103rd IWD March from Portage Place mall to the Union Centre, an event for "self-identified women, girls and their allies."
"I'm all about empowering others to realize their dreams, their potential, their talent," said Henderson, 32, the mother of a 17-year-old daughter. "Everyone needs to do their part to take care of their sisters, their aunties, their friends, everyone. It's a community thing,"
Henderson's tumultuous teen years included at least two traumatic events she carries with her. Twice, she was taken and sexually assaulted by people she thought she could trust. Both times she was held against her will inside a dwelling and feared she wouldn't make it out alive. The first time, she was missing for about a week. Henderson was just 16 when she met "the wrong guy," who kept her captive in a house and threatened her with violence if she tried to escape.
"I had a two-year-old daughter at the time, I was breastfeeding and I didn't know if he was ever going to let me go or do something more sinister," she said, adding she was made to feel like "a piece of meat" and "less than human."
"My mom put up the missing-persons photos. She went through a lot of grief not knowing if she was going to see me again. I managed to convince him to let me go. I promised not to tell anyone, and I never did," she said. The man was never charged, but Henderson said she heard trouble followed him in his life. "I believe karma finds those people if truth and justice don't."
She said women, especially aboriginals, continue to be at risk of family violence, social isolation, addictions and abuse.
"We need to start showing our aboriginal women there are strong women out there that are doing things, and that's what I'm all about, getting my BA at the University of Winnipeg," she said. "I like the diversity (at the march). We all share a connection, we're all women, we know what it's like to be treated as unequal. It's very supportive."
Kim Morrisseau brought her six-year-old daughter, Awa Ka, to listen to the speeches and participate in the march.
"I saw it on Facebook and I thought it was really good to start exposing her early to the movement and the strength and power of women," Morrisseau said.
Onlookers and participants were told the march was held to celebrate victories in equity and social justice for women, but also to reflect on ways to find paths to change in areas of exploitation, violence and inequities faced by girls and women around the world.
In the crowd, advocates for women from varying cultural backgrounds and other countries carried posters and photos while an aboriginal drummer led the procession.
Just before the march began, a poignant address was given by elder Levinia Brown referring to the more than 800 missing or murdered aboriginal women in Canada.
"Sometimes it's difficult living in this world when we see so many missing and murdered women. It's hard because they're being missed by their children, by their families," Brown said, her voice cracking with emotion. "My prayer today is to each and every one of you, especially for the women of the world and the children."

Question: How is butanol fuel made?
Answer: There are two primary categories of butanol fuel, these are biobutanol and petrobutanol. Biobutanol is produced from biomass (organic matter) and petrobutanol is produced from oil. Most biobutanol is made by fermentation of biomass using the ABE (acetone, butanol, ethanol) process. This uses bacterial fermentation (using the bacterium Clostridium acetobutylicum) to produce acetone, butanol, and ethanol from starch contained in organic matter. It is also possible to produce biobutanol using solar energy to grow algae or diatoms that naturally produce it as waste. Petrobutanol is produced petrochemically using propylene which is hydroformylated to butyraldehyde which is then hydrogenated to produce butanol.
Other questions related to biological energy:
- How long is the fermentation process to produce ethanol?
- How does biomass ethanol work?
- How is biodiesel converted to energy?
- How does a biofuel turbine work?
- Why does ethanol fermentation produce co2?
- Why is water a problem in ethanol fuel?
- Why is ethanol fermentation used?
- Which countries use beets to produce ethanol?
- What produces the odor in ethanol fermentation?
- What is used to produce ethanol in europe?
- What is biofuel and how does it work?

I am getting ready to start my cookie business in Hawaii. I have everything done and ready to go except, I can't think of a business name to save my life. My name is Angie and I live on the Northshore of Oahu. I will not have a storefront so I'm staying away from bakery and shop. This is what I have come up with, North Shore Cookies/Confections or Nohea Cookies/Confections. Any ideas would be greatly appreciatied.
Confections is usually synonymous to candy.
You may want to be more specific in naming the business. What kind of cookies are you making? Homestyle? Decorated? Jumbo?
Try to make the name reflect what you do so that the business mission statement will be clear in the name.
The Cookie Place? The Cookie Connection?
Angie's Cookies? Oahu Cookies? The Oahu Cookie Place?
