One More Time with Feeling: PPACA Cases Post 2012
By Bruce F. Howell, Schwabe, Williamson & Wyatt, Portland, OR*
After the United States Supreme Court decision in 2012 upholding the constitutionality of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act ("PPACA" or the "Act")1, new challenges to the provision of the Act have arisen.
These challenges have taken the form of (a) challenging the individual mandate's requirement that individuals purchase a minimum level of health insurance coverage, and (b) challenging the employer mandate's requirement to provide insurance to their employees and their dependents or suffer the "penaltax" found by Chief Justice Roberts to be under the taxing power of Congress and, thus, constitutional.2
Much of the focus during the four days of arguments before the Supreme Court in 2012 concerning the constitutionality of PPACA was on the power of Congress under the Commerce Clause.3 In these post-decision follow-up cases, both the Commerce Clause and the rights of individuals to practice their religion unfettered under the First Amendment have surfaced.
There are two distinct lines of challenge to the Act. The first deals with the constitutionality of the Act from an employer's point of view; the second is its constitutionality from an individual's point of view. Both of these issues may wind up back at the Supreme Court.
The Employer's Point of View
On July 11, 2013, the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals held in Liberty University, Inc. v. Lew that the "tax" on employers that do not provide health insurance under the Act is constitutional.4 While the mandate for individuals to have health insurance under PPACA was held constitutional by the Court in 2012, this is a different challenge. Here, the petitioners argued that the "penaltax" on the employers (those who do not provide health insurance must pay a non-deductible penalty) was unconstitutional under the Commerce Clause.
The reasoning of the Fourth Circuit is that such a penalty/tax is a valid exercise of the Commerce Clause power by Congress since it does not "create" a new form of commerce but merely upholds the power of Congress to regulate commerce between the states, an argument that was advanced by the government in the original cases concerning PPACA before the Court. This case is the primary case involving this challenge.
The Individual's Point of View
The second set of cases that are likely to result in Supreme Court review are the cases involving freedom of religion under the First Amendment and the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993 ("RFRA").5 Under the former, the Constitution states: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof…."6 Under the latter, the operative language is:
Government shall not substantially burden a person's exercise of religion even if the burden results from a rule of general applicability, [except] (1) in furtherance of a compelling governmental interest and (2) [when the burden on a person's exercise of religion] is the least restrictive means of furthering that compelling governmental interest.7
Many cases have been brought concerning the rights of individuals who own private companies and are religiously opposed to contraception. The argument is that the requirement for such private companies to provide women's' preventative services under PPACA violates their rights under the First Amendment and RFRA.
Cases in the Tenth, Seventh and Third Circuits have reached different results. In the Tenth Circuit, the Appellate Court would not grant a temporary injunction because "the particular burden of which plaintiffs complain is that funds, which plaintiffs will contribute to a group health plan, might, after a series of independent decisions by health care providers and patients covered by [the corporate] plan, subsidize someone else's participation in an activity that is condemned by plaintiff's religion. Such an indirect and attenuated relationship appears unlikely to [succeed]."8 On June 28, 2013, a federal judge issued a temporary restraining order that prevented the government from levying fines against Hobby Lobby for refusing to abide by the mandate pending the appeal. Given the extension of the employer mandate to January 1, 2015, the issue of fines is moot for the moment.
In the Seventh Circuit there was a different result. The Court of Appeals granted temporary injunctions in two cases preventing the application of the contraceptive mandate to private employers who object to such requirement on religious grounds. The reasoning in those cases was that "[a]n injunction pending appeal temporarily interferes with the government's goal of increasing cost-free access to contraception and sterilization. That interest, while not insignificant, is outweighed by the harm to substantial religious-liberty interests on the other side. The cost of error is best minimized by granting an injunction pending appeal."9 These cases were argued in May; the results should be forthcoming shortly.
In the Third Circuit a divided three-judge panel refused to rule that a for-profit corporation has the same religious freedom rights as an individual.10 The Court refused to extend the United States Supreme Court Decision in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission11 (which had found corporations to have free speech rights) to religious freedom rights.
For the sake of convenience, a timeline of the different religious challenges cases is appended hereto.
On June 28, 2013, the Administration declared that the contraceptive requirement for all employers (except non-profit religious employers and houses of worship) would still be required even in light of the pending religious freedom cases.
On July 2, 2013, the Administration announced that it would postpone the implementation of the "employer mandate" until January 1, 2015. Thus, both the religious freedom cases and the employer mandate cases do not need to be resolved in as short a timeframe as originally thought.
It is certain that, unless there is a major change in policy, these issues will come before the Supreme Court. As with the initial cases challenging the Act in 2010 through 2012, these matters bear careful watching so as to be able to counsel clients accordingly.

San Marcos freshman Alaysia Styles, who scored 20 points, is guarded by Savannah Camp of San Pasqual.
ESCONDIDO Young teams without much senior leadership usually don't fare well.
When asked how many games his young squad won last summer, San Marcos High coach Roger DiCarlo held up one finger.
Before the start of the girls basketball season, sophomore Janicia Garrett, an All-Avocado East League performer last season, worried about the Knights defending their first league championship since 1986.
If the early returns are correct, San Marcos will be just fine despite having only one senior on the roster.
The young Knights opened league play Tuesday with a convincing 64-43 win at San Pasqual, serving notice that they will not go quietly into the night.
"We have size inside and speed at the guard spot," DiCarlo said. "Because we're so young I scheduled tougher than most years.
"Our strength of schedule showed in this game. We were not flustered by anything they did.
"They looked like a young team and we looked like the veteran team."
A stifling defense that held San Pasqual (8-9, 0-1) to 27.6 percent shooting aided the Knights (14-5, 1-0), who shot 37.3 from the floor.
"Defense helped us get in gear," said San Marcos' 6-foot-1 freshman guard Alaysia Styles, who scored 20 points and pulled down seven rebounds. "I thought our first half against Poway was a little better. It was the second game this season and we were still happy about winning our first one."
Play more games like this one and the Knights will contend until the very end.
Garrett tallied 13 points while freshman Olivia Perez added 11 points. Gabrielle Lazare, the Knights' lone senior, collected a team-high nine rebounds.
Senior Savannah Camp had 18 points and 13 rebounds for San Pasqual.
"We know we have to play our roles," Garrett said. "Our shooters hit shots, our point guards got the ball where it had to go and our defense worked really well.
"I wasn't sure what we had this year and I know very few thought this team could do what it's done so far."
Maybe no one else believes, but the Knights are beginning to.

Bahrain summer power cuts 'inevitable'
Manama, June 9, 2009
Power cuts in Bahrain were inevitable this summer, as demand surges due to the nation's reliance on air-conditioning, a top minister said on Monday.
However, Works Minister Fahmi Al Jowder said efforts were underway to limit the problem.
He revealed there had been 10 blackouts in the last week of May, but said they affected a small number of houses.
'We are speaking about 60 houses, which is not much,' said Al Jowder, who is also in charge of the Electricity and Water Authority (EWA).
'People shouldn't be blaming us for the cuts because the weather then reached 52C and I don't believe any machine can withstand it.
'Yes, we are trying to limit cuts, but it is impossible to stop them because anything may go wrong with the machines or the network.'
He was speaking at a press conference at the end of a ceremony at the Crowne Plaza to celebrate the ministry receiving a top award in Barcelona, Spain, last week.
It was among four recipients from Europe, the Middle East and Africa to collect the Excellence Award from the US-based Palladium Group Incorporation.
It was based on the implementation of the Balanced Score Card, a strategic planning and management system used around the world to align business activities to the organisation's vision and strategy.
However, he admitted a cash shortage had scuppered plans to develop the Tubli Power Plant, among other projects, but said talks were underway to secure finance.
'The mechanism of funding is being negotiated with the Finance Ministry and if it gives the go ahead, we can start work on the plant," Al Jowder said.
'We also have plans to improve our electricity distribution system and have recently finished work on four substations, which will be operative in the next 10 days.
'They include Nuwaidrat, Amwaj Islands, Abu Ghazal (Mahooz) and Wadi Al Sail (Riffa).'
He said the EWA operated just three substations in 2007, but the figure increased to 13 last year.
'In just five months of this year we have completed 10 and more are expected.'
Meanwhile, he pledged that all infrastructure projects would go ahead without further delays, despite funding shortages at the ministry.
He said Bahrain could take loans to meet the costs and privatise more public services to limit its own spending and reduce project delays.
He also revealed the ministry and the EWA had drawn up blueprints for projects and were waiting for more funding to go ahead.
One aims to complete 95 per cent of the country's sewage system by 2011, while another to develop five villages every year.
'This year we have not yet started (on the village development) because of the national budget delay.
'This is just a setback, but things will go ahead now as planned as we have got the required funding.'
The ministry is facing a cash shortage despite having its projects budget increased from 23 per cent of its overall budget to 86 in one year.
'In the past four years we have managed to increase our projects 10-fold with the same manpower and to me that's an achievement.'
Al Jowder said he expected more intense scrutiny from the public now that his ministry had scooped a global award.
'Getting awards is just the beginning and people expect more from us now," he said. We are in the spotlight.' – TradeArabia News Service

Before you start building a chart, you identify system attributes by answering these questions:
What are your interfaces?
What are the event triggers to which your system reacts?
What are the inputs to your system?
What are the outputs from your system?
Does your system have any operating modes?
If the answer is yes, what are the operating modes?
Between which modes can you transition? Are there any operating modes that can run in parallel?
If your system has no operating modes, the system is stateless. If your system has operating modes, the system is modal.
After identifying your system attributes, you can follow a basic workflow for building Stateflow® charts to model event-driven systems:

2-Step QRM-MLBD Using Detection Ordering for Single-Carrier Transmission
2-step maximum likelihood Block signal Detection employing QR decomposition and M-algorithm (QRM-MLBD) can significantly improve the Bit Error Rate (BER) performance of Single-Carrier (SC) transmission while reducing the computational complexity compared to Maximum Likelihood Detection (MLD). In 2-step QRM-MLBD, unreliable symbol candidates are removed by performing Minimum Mean Square Error based Frequency-Domain Equalization (MMSE-FDE) prior to QRM-MLBD. However, a large number M of surviving paths is still required in the M-algorithm to achieve a BER performance close to the Matched Filter (MF) bound.

Slee, Richard (2003) Show 5 Retrospective. [Show/Exhibition]
|Type of Research:
|Slee, Richard
'Show 5' was initiated by the Crafts Council as 5 retrospectives of artists: Carol McNicoll, Jim Partridge, Michael Rowe, Ann Sutton and myself and consisted of nearly 100 works. The key question became how to explain and exhibit continuous creative activity, identifying shifts in the career of a ceramic artist spanning thirty years (c1970-2003), which contribute to the art/craft debate in contemporary ceramics (see also The Secret History of Clay, Tate Liverpool, 2004).
Consequently, I selected work mapping my exploration of this relationship. Furthermore, although it was a 'retrospective', I wanted to emphasize the continuous dialogue of themes in my work as ongoing. They include: hearts, ornaments, plants and are contextualized as artwork, politics and popular culture. A graphic timeline was devised using drawings selected from contemporaneous sketchbooks.
Works from this retrospective were acquired by the Crafts Council, Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, and the Walker Art Gallery (both with support from National Arts Collection Fund), The Potteries Museum and Art Galley (with Contemporary Art Society support) and the V&A.

HONG KONG, Dec 3 (Reuters) - Hong Kong shares reversed earlier gains and finished down on Wednesday as money flowed into the bullish mainland markets, analysts said.
Share prices in Hong Kong have lagged those in China since the launch of the cross border trading scheme between the two cities and as investors await further price consolidation.
Analysts said the latest update from the Occupy Central protest movement had limited impact on investor sentiment. The founders of the movement urged the protesters to go home on Tuesday amid fears of violence.
The Hang Seng index fell 1.0 percent, to 23,428.62 points, while the China Enterprises Index lost 0.6 percent, to 11,060.21 points.
Among the most actively traded stocks on Hong Kong's main board were CCT Land Holdings, down 5.9 percent at HK$0.02, Bank Of China, down 1.0 percent at HK$4.03 and ICBC, down 0.2 percent at HK$5.22.
Chinese investment flowing from Shanghai into Hong Kong through the mutual market access pilot programme took up 0.46 billion yuan ($74.83 million) of the 10.5 billion yuan daily quota.
Total trading volume of companies included in the HSI index was 3.2 billion shares.

The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Alhaji Aminu Tambuwal, said the victory of Super Eagles at the AFCON 2013, marked a new beginning in the history of soccer in Nigeria.
He said this at a special session held by the House to honour the victorious Super Eagles in Abuja yesterday. "This special session holds today to relish, cherish, celebrate and honour you for this uncommon achievement that no doubt marks a new beginning in the annals of Nigerian soccer.
The speaker said that the victory also marks "the rebirth of our national pride and global image in this round leather game.'' He described the victory as an achievement that was uncommon and outstanding on several accounts.
"This victory is a lesson in self confidence rather than arrogance, a lesson in self respect, a lesson in shear doggedness, a lesson in personal sacrifice in the promotion of national interest,'' he said.

What do you all think about the following? Please reply below in sub-bullet form (use two asterisks) and sign your work (use four tildes).
- Do you have a substantial preference for whether I use a tablet (demoed Wednesday) or an iPad (been used otherwise)? If so, why?
- Example comment here AgiStachowiak 12:54, 20 October 2011 (EDT)
- What do you think about playing music during lab hours? One student requested it, which I agree could make for a more pleasant environment, but I'm unsure how to implement the idea. That is, I'm unsure how to keep 15 people simultaneously happy with one music playlist. Would you rather play quiet music at your benches, have one louder music source, or have no music?
- I prefer the tablet since the writing is a lot clearer. Since most of what we go over in pre-lab is pictures, it makes it a lot easier to read the diagram and follow what is happening. I would like to have music played from one louder source because I feel it will be less of a distraction if we have no control over the music. Edgar Matias 13:26, 20 October 2011 (EDT)

New for 2006, the Mazda5 is a three-row, six-seat sport minivan that's slightly smaller than conventional short-wheelbase minivans like the Dodge Caravan. It shares platforms and its powertrain with the Mazda3 sedan. Thanks to its "theater-style" seating, all occupants enjoy ample head and leg room with good outward visibility. A one-touch walk-in mechanism offers easy access to the third-row seats and both the second- and third-row seats can fold down to create a virtually flat floor for transporting large objects.
The 5 comes powered by a 2.3-liter, four-cylinder engine with Sequential Valve Timing that generates 153 horsepower and 148 lb-ft of torque. It can be mated to either a five-speed manual (a rarity among minivans) or a new five-speed automatic gearbox with a manual-shift mode.
The vehicle's handling is enhanced via MacPherson struts in the front and a multi-link suspension in the rear, with 17-inch wheels and tires. Four-wheel disc anti-lock brakes with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution are paired with stability control for added surefootedness. Front-side and side-curtain airbags to protect all three rows of seats are also included.
Available in either Sport or Touring trim levels, standard features include a CD stereo, power windows and locks, and cruise control. Available equipment includes air conditioning, fog lamps, a CD changer, and a power moonroof.
For 2008, the Mazda5 gets a touched-up exterior design, a new five-speed automatic gearbox, rear vents, an iPod input jack and on some models, LED taillights. Grand Touring models also get standard alarm systems, Bluetooth hands-free phone system, automatic headlights, heated sideview mirrors and rain-sensing wipers.

SALT LAKE CITY — "Bad blood" is an understatement for the feelings the Utah Blaze and Arizona Rattlers share for each other.
Add in the fact that former Blaze wideout Tysson Poots, who caught 30 touchdowns in orange and black last season, joined the team that beat Utah in the Western Conference finals in 2012 only complicates the already prevelent tensions.Comment on this story
The Rattlers (1-0), coming off a 66-52 win against Philadelphia, enter EnergySolutions Arena as the perennial favorites to repeat as AFL champions. The Blaze are looking to end a treacherous history of losing to Arizona (3-11 all time) with a statement win.
Kickoff will sail at 7:30 p.m. Friday.
Arizona is led by quarterback Nick Davila, along with Rod Windsor, Maurice Purify and Jared Perry — all of whom have won the AFL Rookie of the Year award at wide receiver.

text: The Zanesville Post of the Highway Patrol says it made a big marijuana bust this week on I-70. Troopers say they stopped a car with West Virginia license plates by the Hamline Bridge on Tuesday for a marked lanes violation at around 3:30 in the afternoon. Troopers say they noticed criminal indicators and called for the Patrol's drug sniffing dog which lead to a probable cause search. Officers say they found 56 pounds of marijuana. Troopers say 65-year-old Clyde Minter of Benwood, West Virginia and passenger 36-year-old Ishmael Howard of Martins Ferry were arrested and charged with possession of marijuana. If convicted each suspect could face 8 years in prison and a fine of up to $15,000.

I agree Art,
You never know about some of these stories, so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt, until their convicted. I will say, if they are truley guilty, they should both have to serve the maximum. This is probably the second stupidest thing I ever heard of for a hunter. The first being the two guys from Oklahoma, that shot the breeder Elk in New Mexico, that belonged to a game ranch. They shot him with a bow, through a cyclone fence, climbed the fence and cut off the head, then brought it back to Oklahoma, and bragged about the nice elk they shot to a game ranger. Ranger had heard about New Mexico elk that had been shot, and when he checked it out, realized that the guys were the ones who shot the elk. Last I heard, they were in some pretty deep hockey.
Wonder what makes people do such DUMB crap? It just makes all hunters look bad to people who don't hunt.

Secretary of State at the Propaganda Ministry, and nominated by Hitler in his Testament of 29 April 1945 as the Propaganda Minister in Dönitz' Government, Dr Werner Naumann escaped from Berlin as part of the Bormann/Stumpfegger party which left the Reich Chancellery late on 1 May 1945. Instead of proceeding to Flensburg to join Dönitz he disappeared, and it has been generally accepted that he was then captured and interned by British forces.
The only Argentine author I have found who noticed Naumann is Jorge Camarasa: "Los Nazis en la Argentina", Editorial Legasa, Buenos Aires, ISBN 950-600-175-8, p.97 and 130., and Naumann is the highest ranking person in the Nazi hierarchy known to have come to Argentina immediately postwar. The manner in which he entered Argentina is not known.
In June 1947 a Buenos Aires publishing house, Dürer Verlag, owned by the former Nazi financier Ludwig Freude, began publishing a neo-Nazi magazine "Der Weg" which had been banned in Europe. It was financed by industrialists and German businessmen in Buenos Aires and German colonies in Misiones and Chaco provinces. This was investigated by Israeli agents, who noticed Naumann and reported him to the Wiesenthal Centre.
On his return to Germany in 1949 he was picked up by British forces in Germany, giving rise to the assumption that he had always been in Europe and had somehow managed to evade detection and internment.
In 1953 Dürer Verlag published his book "Nau Nau gefährdet das Empire" ("Nau Nau endangers the empire").

Kenny rejects need for Dail recall to debate 'horrendous' Gaza crisis
TAOISEACH Enda Kenny has ruled out recalling the Dail to discuss the Gaza crisis, despite describing the situation there as "quite horrendous".
Mr Kenny said the situation in the region was "very fragile", adding that the humanitarian crisis and "needless loss of life speaks for itself".
He acknowledged that every country was entitled to defend itself – but stressed that this must be done in a proportionate manner.
"The United Nations has obviously pointed out on many occasions that a response in self-defence needs to be proportionate," he said. "Clearly the situation where a thousand people have lost their lives in Gaza is not satisfactory and has been the subject now of direct phone calls between the President of the United States and the Prime Minister of Israel."
Speaking in Galway, Mr Kenny acknowledged the decision by the Seanad leader to recall members to discuss the crisis, but added the issue had already been raised in the Dail by the Minister for Foreign Affairs.
"I note the leader of the Seanad has decided to recall the Seanad to discuss this matter which is quite horrendous. Clearly the situation in so far as the Government are concerned here, the Minister for Foreign Affairs debated this matter in the Dail on the 19th of June by way also of a number of parliamentary questions.
"He's had the Israeli Ambassador in several times, the latest meeting between he and the Ambassador was the 25th of July, just this week. He's also met with the ambassadors of Saudi Arabia, of Morocco and of Palestine. And has met the representatives of the Egyptian and United Arab Emirates States," he said.
The Taoiseach also high- lighted the €500,000 allocated for humanitarian relief by the State. He said the Gaza conflict was one of many emerging in the Middle East, insisting the death of any child was no greater in one area than another.
Meanwhile, President Michael D Higgins said the situation in Gaza was "a tragic example of the failure of diplomacy". He said "the enormous increase in unsettled conflicts at the present time represents a great challenge to the international community".

Bradley key to opening up the Kingdom
It's eight years since Derry last contested a National Football League final. A lot of players have worn the county jersey in the interim but few with the degree of composure and authority epitomised by Paddy Bradley.
The Glenullin sharpshooter may have been held scoreless when his side met Galway recently but any notion that his impotence might linger was emphatically banished when he subsequently masterminded the downfall of Tyrone.
Now Bradley finds himself in the vanguard of the Derry attack that will come up against Kerry's mean defence in Sunday's National League final at Parnell Park, Dublin (2.15pm).
When the sides met at Fitzgerald Stadium, Killarney a few weeks ago Bradley ran the show for a spell before being reined in.
Even so, Derry were decidedly unfortunate to lose by a point - a defeat that left a distinctly sour taste in Oak Leaf mouths. They had Francis McEldowney rather unfairly sent off and were eventually left deflated when Bryan Sheehan steered over the injury-time free that clinched Kerry's victory.
As Derry's scorer-in-chief, Bradley will again come in for close attention from a Kerry rearguard in which senior citizens such as Aidan O'Mahoney and Tom O'Sullivan still wield considerable influence.
Steel and style underscore the Kerry approach, particularly when a trophy is on offer. In the past, Kerry rarely flexed their muscles with any degree of enthusiasm in the National League but such is the level of competition for places in the side and the desire to be part of a potential three-in-a-row triumph come September that the Kingdom are already in top drive with the summer still to arrive.
Even with some of their frontline troops still out, Kerry still offer a menacing façade. Dara O Sé, Tómas O Sé and Ciaran Donaghy epitomise brain and bulk while Colm Cooper might just make his presence in attack again felt after his sojourn in the United States that has precluded him from playing an active part in the league to date.
Derry, for their part, will aim to provide Bradley and his colleagues - particularly Conleith Gilligan, Mark Lynch and Collie Devlin - up front with the necessary ammunition to fire holes in Kerry's morale.
Kingdom boss Pat O'Shea has made it clear that he would like the league title and the indications are that this will be a championship contest in everything but name.
"We have a lot of players who are very hungry not only to play for the county but to continue to deliver success. They will get their chance again on Sunday against a Derry side that gave us one of our toughest matches in the league to date," points out O'Shea.

BLACKPOOL proved its comedy credentials once more as the resort showcased the next generation in stand-up talent.
The Grand Theatre was transformed into a maelstrom of mirth as six finalists in BBC Radio Two's New Comedy Awards 2012 battled it out in front of the mike.
And it was Hull's Lucy Beaumont who had the last laugh as she was crowned winner after a public vote, beating off competition from Pete Otway, Sunil Patel, Tommy Rowson, Matt Rees and Matt Winning.
Last night's show - broadcast live on Radio 2 and on TV via the red button - was the culmination of two months of heats, with 800 acts whittled down to the last six.
Irishman Patrick Kielty, who presented the show, said it was only fitting the final was being staged in the resort which was synonymous with great entertainment.
He told the audience: "It's great to be here in Blackpool, the Las Vegas of the North.
"What happens in Blackpool, stays in Blackpool.
"If only Prince Harry had decided to come here instead of Vegas.
"Things would have been so much better.
"Those pictures wouldn't have seen the light of day. Playing pool naked - that wouldn't have even made the sports pages of the Blackpool Gazette."
The show also paid tribute to the resort's rich comedy heritage.
Patrick added: "Blackpool has a fantastic history which has given us some of the UK's best live comedians.
"Ken Dodd is in his 54th year performing to crowds in Blackpool."
But it was very much today's generation in the spotlight on the night.
Last year's winner Angela Barnes, comedian Stephen K. Amos, and musical double act Frisky and Mannish made up the rest of the set.
Among the audience were Geoff and Linda Tolson, archivists at the Grand Theatre, who said it was great to see the venue host such a prestigious event.
Linda added: "It's national coverage and not only promotes The Grand, but Blackpool itself as the foremost centre for entertainment.
"It has been tremendous publicity for the town.
"People are so surprised when they realise Blackpool has such an architectural gem right in its heart."

Some Updates to the Ole' Big HandsomeSunday, March 15th, 2009
In lieu of posting last week, we've been working behind the scenes to make some aesthetic updates to Big Handsome. The changes were more akin to slight upgrades than a full makeover – think getting a shirt tailored a touch and sporting some new collar stays as opposed to a brand new wardrobe. A lot of these changes are behind the scenes, but we think the aesthetic tweaks have made Big Handsome easier to read and look slightly more refined. In celebration, after the jump please find a picture of Dirty Handsome cooking bacon in the great outdoors: (Read on …)

Learning from each other: the UNECE Strategy for Education for Sustainable Development
UNECE, 2009by: Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE)
Education is a key agent for change towards sustainable development. Education for sustainable development (ESD) builds the capacity of individuals, communities and society as a whole to make informed judgements and choices in favour of sustainable development. Because ESD is not only about teaching the subjects relevant to sustainable development but also about participatory learning process, its introduction at the national and local levels is a complex and evolving process that often implies the challenge of transforming existing approaches to education.
Responding to the new challenge of ESD, in 2005 the environment and education ministers of United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) member States adopted the UNECE Strategy for ESD. Work under the Strategy constitutes an important contribution of the UNECE region to the United Nations Decade on ESD. It is done in collaboration with UNESCO, the lead global agency for the Decade.
The UNECE Strategy for ESD is a policy tool that helps the countries of the region to introduce and promote ESD in national formal, non-formal and informal education in their respective countries. It aims at developing policy, regulatory and operational frameworks to support ESD, equipping educators with the necessary competences, ensuring that adequate tools and materials for ESD are accessible, promoting research on and development of ESD, and strengthening regional cooperation on ESD.

Written on: 23/04/2012
My dad and brother recently insured a Mercedes CLK with them. My dad used his NCB and my brother a normal named driver. After around a months time they asked for No Claims Bonus proof which we provided. Everything was good until we received a letter to call them and discuss the policy. We phoned them and they said they have not received NCB proof which we said we will send again via email/post as we kept a photocopy and had already posted the original to them. They refused this and started asking my dad for Registration Numberplates for the other vehicles he has and the same for my brothers car. My dad asked why they need it which they had no answer for. He refused to provide the details stating theyre not insured with you so you have no reason to ask for them unless you give me a reason to provide them which again they refused to answer again. The phone call ended and within the next 3 days we got a letter saying the policy has been cancelled due to us not providing the details required. Are they allowed to ask for other vehicle details if not insured with them? Not a good experience with Churchill, first and last time we will use them.

Welcome to a new feature called 'Get To Know Your Coaches.'
There are 10 new faces on the practice field (head man Carl Pelini, eight new assistants and the new S&C coach), so there is a steep learning curve when it comes to which coach is which.
Here's a couple to get us started….
Above is Jeff Sims, the recruiting coordinator/wide receivers coach.
All those JUCO guys that were part of Pelini's first class? Sims had a hand in a lot of those, as he was the head coach at Fort Scott Community College from 2007-10, where he made a lot of connections when sending his players onto D-I schools That included Nebraska when Pelini was there. Sims' teams at Fort Scott went 45-19.
Next up is Brett Diersen, the defensive line assistant and special teams coordinator.
He and Sims were both at Indiana last season, and before that Diersen was an intern at Nebraska from 2008-10. That was when Pelini was the DC at Nebraska.
You'll see all kinds of these overlapping ties between coaches Pelini has brought on board.
At least from the limited amount of practices we can witness, the coaches overall are a pretty low-key bunch. Not a lot of the screaming and cursing heard in previous years.
Style doesn't matter, though. Results do, and it will be a while before we'll know how effective this cadre of coaches is.

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Tree limbs filled with autumn colors lay broken on a carpet of white. Kids got to throw snowballs nearly three weeks before they go trick-or-treating. Boats on Lake Erie were encrusted in ice a day before many people in the area had planned to go picking pumpkins and apples.
Nearly 2 feet of snow fell in a fury of thunder and lightning Thursday night and early Friday in Buffalo's two snowiest October days since the National Weather Service began keeping track 137 years ago. The deaths of three people were blamed on the storm and hundreds of thousands were left without power, but residents of this famously frigid city generally took the wintry weather in stride.
"This is Buffalo. It just came early, that's all," said Buffalo Police Lt. Danny Williams.
Branches and power lines lay draped across cars and houses, and a state of emergency was in effect across the region, banning all nonessential travel. A 105-mile stretch of the New York State Thruway was closed for hours, and food and water had to be delivered by snowmobile to stranded motorists.
Erie County authorities said two people died in traffic accidents, and one person died after being hit by a falling tree limb while shoveling snow.
National Grid, which reported 261,000 customers without electricity, worked through the night but many customers were expected to be without power through the weekend and into next week, spokesman Steve Brady said. A major problem was getting crews on the road, he said.
"Our people are getting stuck in the driveway here," Brady said. "Many of the roads are, if not impassible, near impassible."
New York State Electric & Gas reported an additional 130,000 without power in the region.
In Buffalo's Victorian-lined neighborhoods, rows of oaks, maples and magnolias were bowed or broken, their still leafy branches unable to hold the weight of the snow and icy mix. Some of the trees had withstood a century or more of the harshest elements.
"Our street looked like it was hit by a hurricane. It looks like the apocalypse. It's unreal," said Matthew Colken. "One-hundred-year-old trees are down."
Normally busy downtown streets were still. Many municipal trucks were still working to remove leaves on Thursday and did not have plows attached when the surprise storm hit.
"I thought it was kind of pretty but eerie," said Ann Goff, who walked to her job at a Buffalo supermarket in the middle of the night. "It was scary listening to the cracking of the branches."

Trains are once again traveling through
Wind River Canyon near Thermopolis.
Burlington Northern-Santa Fe spokesman Gus Melonas says the line reopened about 10 p.m. Saturday after crews rebuilt about 300 feet of track that was torn up during a derailment.
Four freight cars and two locomotives derailed Wednesday, and
A report delivered to President Obama this week by a special panel appointed by President Bush warned that the risk of cancer from environmental toxins is "grossly under-estimated." But making the situation even worse, say many health professionals, are the other ill effects of such pollutants. Dr. Kristen Welker-Hood is with Physicians for Social Responsibility.
Emergency Medical Services week is being celebrated May 16-22 with the nationwide theme of "Anytime, Anywhere, We'll Be There." Wyoming Department of Health Director Dr. Brent Sherard says that we should all be grateful of those that work and volunteer their time to keep us safe.
Sheridan mortician PJ Kane issued a media release late Friday afternoon announcing his intention to run for Sheridan County Coroner. Kane indicates that his primary objective is to investigate all unattended deaths in Sheridan County according to the standards set forth by the Wyoming Board of Coroners.
The first ever boat inspection in the Sheridan region for aquatic invasive species took place Friday morning at the Sheridan Regional Game and Fish Office. Game and Fish Information Specialist Warren Mischke says that a Bighorn resident voluntarily hauled his boat in for inspection.
CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) - A spokesman for Burlington Northern-Santa Fe Corporation says up to 6,800 gallons of diesel fuel spilled from two locomotives that crashed in the Big Horn River and along its bank this week. Two locomotives and four freight cars derailed Wednesday when a southbound train hit a boulder on the track about five miles south of Thermopolis.
CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) - The Wyoming Public Service Commission has approved rate hikes for two utilities with customers in the state. The commission on Friday approved Rocky Mountain Power's proposal to increase overall rates by 5.1 percent in July and 1.9 percent in February to generate another $35.5 million per year.
JACKSON, Wyo. (AP) - Jackson Hole Fire is swearing in a 33-year veteran of the department as its new fire chief. The Teton County Board of Commissioners announced the appointment of Willy Watsabaugh Thursday afternoon. He had been serving as interim fire chief but was sworn in to his new permanent post Friday morning.
Public Works wrapped up their portion of the City of Sheridan Budget Work Sessions Friday afternoon, covering the topics of Capital Improvement Projects and Fleet Management.
Lane Thompson is an engineer with the City, and he tells us where we sit compared to last year on Capital Improvement Projects.
Thursday night at the Sue Henry Auditorium at Sheridan High School, proud parents and students filled the room for the annual Academic Awards Ceremony.

Easter eager for Swans deal
Jermaine Easter is determined to secure a permanent deal at Swansea after his loan move from MK Dons.
Last Updated: 29/11/10 11:21am
Jermaine Easter is determined to secure a permanent contract at Swansea City following his loan move from MK Dons.
The striker linked up with Swansea last week and he is due to stay at the Liberty Stadium until the end of January.
He missed Friday's defeat by Portsmouth due to injury, but is hoping to be in contention to make his Swans debut at Ipswich Town this weekend.
Easter had been eager for the opportunity to work with Swans boss Brendan Rodgers and is anxious to make the most of his chance in the Championship.
Massive opportunity
"I hope to be fit for Ipswich. I'm going to get on with some rehab and that will hopefully put me in the frame for selection," said Easter in the Evening Post.
"I'm here to make it permanent. I've been badgering my agent to speak to Brendan for a while now.
"It's a massive opportunity for me. When I was at my most prolific last season at MK Dons it was a very similar system.
"The lads play some great stuff and hopefully I will be finishing off the good opportunities they create."

If Donnie Walsh wanted something other than audible grumbling and scattered boos as the response for his last act as the man running the Knicks, he shouldn't have drafted Iman Shumpert.
The Georgia Tech guard was the 17th overall pick in the 2011 Draft and the fans that made the trek out to Newark greeted his name as if it were an alternate pronunciation of Frederic Weis. Maybe that's because they had never heard of him, maybe they were enamored of Florida State forward Chris Singleton or Morehead State forward Kenneth Faried or perhaps it was memories of the last Georgia Tech guard to wear a Knicks uniform, but it really did sound like the kind of greeting usually reserved for Jets draft days.
If it was because they never heard of Shumpert, they should really be reading NBCNewYork.com a little bit more often. Not to toot our own horn, but we told you this was a real possibility on Wednesday.
The scouting report on Shumpert hasn't changed. He's big, athletic and skilled defensively which is why he went in the first round of the draft despite having the shooting touch of Jared Jeffries on a particularly bad day.
That doesn't sound too awful, actually. The Knicks desperately need to get better at defense across the board and they don't really need another player who needs the ball in his hands offensively.
The big argument with the pick is that there are other players who could give the Knicks an upgrade defensively while also helping them at other spots on the floor. Eamonn Brennan of ESPN.com made that argument -- forcefully made that argument -- on Thursday and it is a piece probably best left unread if you want to keep an optimistic view of Shumpert's future.
Then again, people were mocking the Knicks mercilessly at this time last year for picking Landry Fields and that one worked out pretty well. If Walsh hits on this pick as well, his Knicks era will get one last layer of polish that will leave it looking pretty darn spiffy well into the future.
If not, it isn't going to be his mess to clean up so let's hope that it was another home run.
UPDATE: The Knicks also bought a second round pick from the Hornets and used it on Kentucky center Josh Harrellson. He distinguished himself during the Wildcats' NCAA tournament run with active play inside and an enthusiastic family rooting section.
Neither one of those things made him seem particularly ready for life in the NBA, but it's not like the Knicks have anyone standing in his way.

Make a DIY Ruffled Lamp Shade
Lampshades are like throw pillows when you're in need of a quick and inexpensive fix to change up a room. Here is a simple Anthropologie inspired DIY shade that will cozy up any space.
Terra from Mama Says Sew did a guest post at Tatertots & Jello recreating a ruffled Anthrolpologie lampshade that she fell in love with. With a lampshade, some burlap and a glue gun Terra was on her way to a new shade that cost a heck of a lot less than the original and turned out just as sweet.

Here's the press release from the campaign of Democrat Susan Wilson, who is vying with Republican Nathan Ramsey to represent District 115 in the N.C. House. Ramsey has
previously said the charges about his education record are false.
Nathan Ramsey Runs From His Vote to Cut Millions From Schools
Wilson Pledges to Protect Public Schools
ASHEVILLE, NC – Nathan Ramsey, the Republican candidate for North Carolina State House District 115, is distorting his record in an attempt to distract voters from his past vote to cut millions from public education.
While Chairman of the Buncombe County Commissioners, Nathan Ramsey voted for a budget that cut school funding by $3 million dollars. See here: http://goo.gl/IF3Ig
"Nathan Ramsey needs to stop running from his record and admit that he voted to cut $3 million dollars from our public schools," Democratic candidate Susan Wilson said, "Nathan Ramsey clearly voted to gut public education and now he's trying to hide from it—that is wrong. We cannot afford more of the same by sending Nathan Ramsey to Raleigh—we must do better."
Ramsey's vote on a controversial budget resulted in $3.75 million in cuts to local schools. This includes cuts of $1.5 million to Buncombe County Schools, $240,000 to Asheville City Schools and $766,000 to AB-Tech. Only under the threat of lawsuit did Ramsey back down. See here: http://goo.gl/IF3Ig
"Cutting education means our kids fall behind—it's clear that Nathan Ramsey doesn't understand that," Wilson continued, "I will protect public schools because education is the key to giving our kids the opportunity to succeed."
"Is Buncombe tax rate the result of priorities or political positioning?"

A familiar face on Dewey Beach Patrol is planning his retirement. Jim May, the patrol's on-staff emergency medical technician, says Labor Day will be his last shift.
May has been a staple on Dewey Beach Patrol since the summer of 1998, when his son, Bryan, got a job as a lifeguard. It was Patrol Capt. Todd Frichtman's second year on the job.
"They were looking for an EMT," May said. "And I've been here ever since."
Originally from Auburn, N.Y., May, 62, started working as an orderly and ambulance attendant for a local hospital at age 16, when emergency medicine was in its infancy. "At that time, there was no training," May said. "It was all on-the-job."
In the 1960s, the American Red Cross began offering training for May and others in the emergency medical field. In the early 1970s, May was trained as an emergency medical technician through the state of New York at Auburn Community College. "At that time, doctors taught the courses," he said. "It was all brand new."
In 1973, May said, he moved to Delaware and got a new job working on an ambulance for Wilmington Medical Center, now Christiana Care Health System. One year later, May started working as an EMT for New Castle County.
There are several levels of EMT; a paramedic is the highest level. May was sent to a six-week training school for paramedics in 1976. "I was in the second class they ever had," he said.
It wasn't until 1979 that the American Board of Medical Specialties voted to recognize emergency medicine as a medical specialty. Training for paramedics today takes about two years.
May lived in New Castle County and worked as a county paramedic for 34 years.
May and his wife, Kathleen – a nurse at A.I. duPont Hospital in Wilmington – relocated to Rehoboth Beach in 2002. May commuted back and forth between the Cape Region and New Castle County until he retired as a paramedic, Aug. 1, 2008.
"I like Dewey for the visitors that come here from year to year," May said. "You get to know them."
"And every year, they come looking for you," he said.
May said he got to know one visitor, Frank, a man in his 80s, by giving him rides on the four-wheeler year after year because, May said, he was unstable on his feet. Last Memorial Day, Frank gave May a gift. "He did a portrait of me," May said.
"It was really special," he said. "It felt kind of nice to think somebody thought that much about me."
But May also has darker memories of his time with the beach patrol. One August, about seven years ago, a 17-year-old boy took a dive into the water on Houston Street, and came up floating facedown, he said.
May said lifeguards called him to the scene; when he arrived, the guards had performed CPR, and the boy was conscious and breathing. May said he remembers the boy saying, "I can't feel my legs," and "Please don't let me die."
"He was shipped by airlift to Christiana Care," May said. "I remember talking to his parents at the scene." May said he tracked the boy's progress through connections he had made as a paramedic at the hospital. He also kept in touch with the boy's parents.
"He dove into the water, and he's now paralyzed from the neck down," May said.
May said the situation could have been worse. "All the guards did everything perfectly, and that's why he's here today," he said. "I see him all the time."
Overall, the Dewey Beach Patrol track record is a good one, May said. "Nobody has perished from a spinal cord injury in Dewey since I've been here," he said.
May said he has been spreading the word to many repeat visitors that he won't be a part of the patrol next year. "I told them, 'Now I'll just come down here and sit next to you,'" he said.
May said from now on, he plans to spend his summers fishing and relaxing on the beach. He also plans to remain active as a member of Dewey Lions Club and Rehoboth Volunteer Fire Company.
May spends his winters visiting Bryan, who now lives in Pensacola, Fla. His deep tan and his work attire – typically a sun-faded navy blue Dewey Beach Patrol T-shirt – are evidence that May follows the warm weather.
His daughter, Colleen, lives in Pennsylvania with his two grandchildren, whom he plans to spend more time with after his last day, Monday, Sept. 2.
Sitting in the Dewey Beach Life Saving Station at the end of the day, May bids farewell to each lifeguard by name as they pack up and head home.
May calls them "kids," but many of the lifeguards are on their way to professional careers. He said many beach patrol alumni are now doctors and lawyers. "I've watched a lot of these people come up through the ranks," he said.
May said he would miss the "kids" most when he retires, and the camaraderie of Dewey Beach Patrol.

'Despicable' pair who stole OAP's life savings jailed
Two men who stole an 80-year-old woman's life savings from her handbag in a west Belfast shopping centre have been jailed for their "despicable behaviour."
Gerard Devlin (25) from Donegall Road and 22-year-old Nathan Finn from Malone Road were each handed a three-year sentence for the theft of £5,709 from the "vulerable" victim.
Judge Patricia Smyth told the pair, who appeared in the dock of Belfast Crown Court, that they will serve 18 months of their sentence in custody, with the remaining 18 months on licence upon their release.
The court heard that the 80-year-old woman had been left "deeply traumatised" by the offence which was carried out at the Kennedy Centre on October 31 last year.
Prior to the theft, which occurred in the Sainsbury's coffee shop and which was captured on CCTV, the pensioner had withdrawn her life savings from the Danske Bank, which she was planning to use for home improvements.
After withdrawing the money, which the pensioner placed in a plastic bag, she purchased a few groceries in Sainsbury's before visiting the coffee shop.
While she was standing in the queue, Finn distracted the woman while co-accused Devlin reached into her handbag and stole the bag containing the cash.
The court heard that the money was never recovered, and while both Finn and Devlin admitted the theft, they have never disclosed what happened to the stolen cash.
During yesterday's sentencing, both men stood in the dock with their heads bowed as Judge Smyth branded their behaviour "despicable".
Telling the pair that in her view the theft was planned, the judge said there was "no doubt" that they "deliberately targeted" the vulnerable 80-year old woman.
Judge Smyth also said the incident has left the pensioner traumatised and on medication, and that she has "suffered a great deal" as a result of what happened.
Judge Smyth said Finn, who has a history of substance abuse, committed the offence within days of being released on licence for a previous matter.
She also questioned whether the remorse he has since expressed was genuine.
Regarding Devlin, Judge Smyth revealed that he wrote a letter to his elderly victim - but again questioned if his remorse was genuine.

With 42 seconds remaining, Dons quarterback Robbie Stern took the snap from center and then watched as the play fell apart.
So he took off. Stern broke free around the left end, got a bone-crushing downfield block from wide-out Tyler Supple to seal his lane, and then tip-toed into the end zone to score an improbable game-winning touchdown with 31 seconds on the game clock.
Stern's 33-yard scamper capped a 12-play, 80-yard drive that took exactly two minutes and came on the heels of a 2-yard Kyle Hill touchdown that gave the Knights (2-4, 1-1 DFAL) their first lead of the night at 17-14.
The drive was sustained by an unlikely call by the officials. On fourth-and-11 from the Acalanes 19, Stern winged a deep pass to Craig Anderson down the right side. Anderson grabbed it with two hands, got his feet down, then hit the ground hard on his back. The ball popped free and the side judge signaled incomplete. But the back judge ran in and reversed the call for a 30-yard completion.
"Hats off to Acalanes," Las Lomas coach Doug Longero said. "They made a play at the end. But the game should have been over."

When I hesitated to show pictures of my work I got tons of encouragement.
Thanks Admin and moderators for running this great site.

Waiting for upgrades when a new version of Android comes out can be a big pain. While many users are wondering when they'll get Gingerbread, there are still plenty of phones out there who never even got FroYo. Well Cincinnati Bell is shattering the mold with a move that is the very definition of bold. They are providing instructions and the necessary files to root your Motorola Milestone XT720, back it up with Titanium Backup, and then flash a FroYo ROM.
Needless to say this is pretty unheard of, most carriers frown upon rooting, let alone encourage you to do it. This is also the first time a carrier has circumvented the OEM when it comes to pushing a software update. All the shock aside, I think its a great move on Cincinnati Bell's part and even better news for XT720 owners.
Since it wasn't handled by the OEM, the process is a bit more technical than your standard "click to download and install" OTA update. The great news is, even if you've never heard of rooting before, if you bring your phone into a Cincinnati Bell store, they will have staff on hand to do the upgrade for you! If you are into rooting, or comfortable enough with your technological skills to figure it out, they have a very thorough, step-by-step, guide to walk you through installing drivers, rooting, backing up, then flashing a custom recovery and their 2.2 ROM. The caveat here being that the instructions are only for Windows.
It's been awhile since FroYo was announced so here's a quick refresher of what the update brings. First and foremost, FroYo brings major performance upgrades, especially to the stock browser. Speaking of the web, 2.2 lets the XT720 access Flash. Another handy bonus is that you can now move apps to the SD card natively. Finally FroYo introduced native tethering, but Cincinnati Bell's site says you will still require a tethering plan. This likely means they've still made some of their own modifications to the ROM so that they could turn off tethering, which is a bit of a let down. For all these lovely features check out Cincinnati Bell's site or visit their local store.

NANTUCKET , Mass., July 15 (UPI) -- Drew Barrymore is spending the summer in Nantucket with her family.
Sources tell People magazine that the Blended actress, 39, was spotted taking her 22-month-old daughter Olive to a children's beach in the Island on Friday. The pair later dinned at Lola Burger where the actress reportedly had a lobster roll.
Earlier last week, the actress, Olive and her youngest daughter Frankie, almost 3 months, were spotted poolside at the Cliffside Beach Club.
"She was very friendly and very nice," realtor Lori Markell said. "She said she just had her baby 11 weeks ago."
Barrymore and her husband Will Kopelman welcomed Frankie on April 22.

3. Chores can wait as long as I can stand it. (which isn't very long, but that's not the point )
4. I don't have to close the bathroom door.
5. Okay, I went there so I'll go further. I can fart without fear.

9. The mail is always for me. (that isn't always fun, but I like getting mail - comes from being stationed overseas so long ago and always wishing for more mail from home)
10. Total control over the grocery bill. Seriously, my kids were bottomless pits. Three kids all in sports for all their school years was frigging expensive.
Anyone else care to add?
Being excessively naked!
10. Total control over the grocery bill.
I'm still waiting for this day to arrive. As nice as it will be for my grocery bill to shrink, what I'm really looking forward to is having control over the groceries I buy. Ya know, reaching into the fridge, pantry or freezer and actually still finding the food I put in there when I got home from the store.
But dang, I hate having to clean up dead bugs.

I have gotten so used to living alone. It would drive me crazy to share my house!
I can eat when I want to. I can have cereal for dinner and leftovers from dinner for breakfast, and no one (especially a nasty mother-in-law) will have an opinion about it.
I can stay up as late as I want to without worrying about keeping someone else awake. And I can sleep as late as I want. All that matters is MY schedule.
I can decorate the way I want to.
I don't have to get anyone a beer or a glass of water or anything else.
I don't have to listen to anyone snore.
I don't have to share a bathroom or a closet. I hated sharing the bathroom and the closet.
I can park my car in the garage because it isn't full of climbing equipment and mountain bikes.
I can watch all kinds of trashy and stupid TV shows.
I can spend my money the way I want to spend it.
I can wear what I want to wear. Or, more likely, not wear what someone thinks I should be wearing or wants me to wear. No more uncomfortable lingerie.
Living alone is the best. I LOVE IT!!!
And that's saying a lot. I'm proud of myself. Because I married straight out of high school and was not alone my entire adult life, until I was 48 years old. But, I took to it like a duck takes to water.
8/4/06 Stopped another before it got out of the phone call stage.
Three strikes and your out bud!

- no tv blaring
- no snoring
- no sound of his blender making smoothies at 6am
- no trying to make someone else feel comfortable (I am a well trained woman brought up to serve others)
- i can eat what and when I want
Can't imagine living with someone ever again! This cat is more than enough space-sharing for me!
One awesome thing - my room is MINE. I have Christmas lights up year-round, I tiedyed my duvet cover, half the bed is always full of books, my journal and my tablet, there is no TV in there, I can eat ice cream in bed and nobody can tell me no.

EU Economists Spend a Whole Lot of Time Thinking About Sex and Drugs
The study of economics, which was once called "the dismal science'' by Victorian historian Thomas Carlyle, may have just become a whole lot more exciting.
The European Union has launched a push to include prostitution and the illegal drug trade when it calculates GDP.
GDP may not be the sexiest of topics on its own right. It stands for gross domestic product—the total value of goods and services produced and sold by a country every year.
The thought of calculations that big almost makes one feel bad for the economists crunching numbers behind the scenes. But now, those economists have an even harder job.
They are going to be interviewing gigolos and drug dealers to get a handle on how much those entrepreneurs earn every year.
No longer relegated to the dark streets of red light districts, sex and drugs are going to emerge from the woodwork after years spent swept under the rug.
The New York Times quotes Jose Roca, a representative of the National Association of Spanish Sex Clubs, who estimates that prostitution accounts for $27 billion of Spanish GDP every year. The government estimates a similar figure—about 18 billion euros.
According to The Times, requirements that countries calculate GDP including black market activity have long been on the books. But only a few countries made serious stabs at complying. Those included Germany, Italy, and (of course) the Netherlands, whose booming red light district and weed trade are a major tourist attraction.
A surge of new rules however, are now going to force all 28 of the countries in the European Union to try harder to count the black market.
The push may help the EU qualify economic fluctuations among European countries still struggling during the wake of the recession.

The notion that a series with Sri Lanka will be gentle and gentlemanly has always been wide of the mark. The Sri Lanka team has always been among the most beguiling in the world. There remains the pedigree of Mahela Jayawardene and Kumar Sangakkara, with silky strokes on the field, natural eloquence off it, often accompanied by polite, winning smiles. The rest inevitably follow their lead. But do not be fooled; they are as tough as teak. This may not be a friendly little series.
Sri Lanka can look over at the opposition balcony at Lord's on Thursday and see their old coach Paul Farbrace plotting their downfall and they may also catch a glimpse of the England captain, Alastair Cook, who may still be snarling after the defeat in the last one‑day international. Cook was obviously furious with his opposite number, Angelo Mathews, after that game. Somehow, he contrived to shake his hand and deliver a stream of abuse simultaneously (does that make him a multi-dimensional captain?) because of the Jos Buttler run-out. Cook may have been misguided – there had been a couple warnings to Buttler, so what was supposed to happen next? – but he was certainly uncommonly angry.
This may belie the tension in the England ranks. They are desperate to demonstrate they are on the road to recovery. Moreover, Cook may be feeling the pressure – to score runs and win games – as never before. Short of dodgy run-outs at the non-striker's end, Cook will want his side to be as ruthless as their opponents.
This will include the expectation that the pitches for the two-Test series favour his team. Last summer, a wet one, resulted in dry pitches around the land for the series against Australia. The sages decided this was the way forward and in the short-term it was successful. Moreover, the groundsmen were obviously on board.
This year, another wet one so far, England will crave pitches that retain a bit of sap and a speck or two of green grass. In 2013, Graeme Swann and the reverse swingers were the trump cards on dry, slow tracks. In 2014, England crave pace and a bit of movement for the faster bowlers.
They have picked their side accordingly. There is enterprise of sorts. England have three debutants, Sam Robson, Moeen Ali and Chris Jordan – just as they did when Cook made his first Test appearance in Nagpur in March 2006 (Monty Panesar and Ian Blackwell were the others). There has been a caginess as well. They want an experienced spine. Hence the old men, who have been struggling for fitness, Stuart Broad and Matt Prior, are included, despite a paucity of cricket, while the solitary Ashes hero, Ben Stokes, must wait his turn. Five months ago it was unthinkable that Stokes would be omitted from the side if fit.
Of the old men, Prior is the most fortunate. In the 10 Tests he played from May 2013 he averaged 20 with the bat; nor was his keeping flawless. He was dropped after the Perth Test in Australia but has hardly been able to prove that his form has returned. Instead, he has been preoccupied to demonstrate that he is fit. Thus he returns by default because through a variety of circumstances – the team suddenly needs some old hands.
In a sense Liam Plunkett is an old hand. The last of his nine Tests took place seven years ago. The move to Yorkshire, where he now operates as an "enforcer", has been invigorating. The last place in the side will be between Plunkett and Chris Woakes – more supersub than enforcer. The chances are Plunkett will get the nod. In their current mood, England may be minded to "bomb" Sri Lanka with the sort of pace Plunkett now offers. They will be disappointed if Moeen has to bowl too many overs.
The series may rest upon how Sri Lanka cope with England's pacemen. There is the obvious expectation that Jayawardene and Sangakkara will be equal to the challenge but that their younger colleagues might struggle in alien conditions. However, Sri Lanka will be flinty and they look more relaxed and settled than their opponents.

UK Police searching for deadly toxin following arrest of potential Al Qaeda cell
British anti-terrorist police are searching for a quantity of the lethal poison ricin following the arrest in London of a potential al-Qaeda cell, suspected of plotting some form of chemical attack in the United Kingdom.
The national health service was put on alert Tuesday after tests at defense, science and technology laboratories showed that residue found in the bedroom of an apartment in north London was ricin, a toxin with no known antidote, whose manufacture has been linked to supporters of Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, according to The Guardian.
Police do not know how much of the poison was made or what the six Algerian suspects were planning to do with it. "The important issue is that the material causing us concern is no longer there," said a source. "We need to find it."
Moreover, detectives believe the six men may have accomplices who are still at large.
Police sources claimed Tuesday night that if an outrage has been disrupted, it is likely to have been a small, focused attack rather than one involving mass casualties. However, they admitted that the arrest of the men and the discovery of ricin, marks the first time since September 11 that real evidence of a potential threat to the United Kingdom has been uncovered.
In a press conference at Scotland Yard Tuesday, assistant commissioner David Veness, head of specialist operations, said six men and a woman were arrested under the Terrorism Act 2000, early Sunday in north and east London. The woman has been released but the men are in custody. (Albawaba.com)

July is an odd time to be thinking about Christmas, but this year both parties are already looking ahead to December, which could be the hottest political month of 2010. Several of Washington's key debates are stacking up like reindeer over O'Hare during the winter holiday rush. December is the month President Obama is expecting to get the results of a crucial review of the war in Afghanistan and a report from a blue-ribbon commission on deficit reduction, two issues vexing enough that the deadlines were deliberately kicked past November's elections. White House staffers will be writing both a budget and a State of the Union address that will set the tone for the second half of Obama's term. And whether or not they maintain their majorities, Democrats on Capitol Hill will be dealing with reverberations from dozens of midterm contests.
