ThinkProgress » Idaho Rejects Rape Exception In Abortion Bill Because 'The Hand Of The Almighty' Was At Work:
The disgusting number of women-hating pieces of legislation being pushed through various state legislatures is astounding.
But I think the Idaho bill is particularly galling: even if you were the victim of sexual assault or family sexual abuse you would be forced to keep the pregnancy.
It's a double assault against a woman's body and mind.
These fucking men seem to have a real problem with women having an independent will.
You know, like men have.
I had a conservative guy respond to one of my tweets today and he seemed to imply that simply having a reproductive system automatically obligated a woman to use it to reproduce. Whether or not she wanted to.
If we take all these bills together, women aren't going to be allowed to make decisions about anything on our own:
We can't buy contraception.
We can't terminate a pregnancy if we are raped.
We can't terminate a pregnancy if we aren't.
Our exes get to sue us if we get an abortion.
We can't say no to an ultrasound.
We can't rely on our own religious (or irreligious) counselors.
We have to wait for an abortion.
We can't get an abortion in our own state.
We can't use our money (or the State's money) to pay for abortion.
What can we do, in this world these women-hating men want to create?
Oh, get pregnant, get raped, and stay pregnant.
I want to smash some testicles.

Bravery and I are not on intimate terms
My natural curiosity is tampered with caution
Thus I live long
But now, ignoring my instinct to flee or fear
I speak the truth with out reguard to consequence
Your courage deserves no less
You've suffered great pain, and you've caused some
You've endured great feelings of grief and guilt
But you will be tested on a more wretching anguish, Alice
There is worse to come
You and this Red Queen
Cannot both survive
You're two parts of the same-

If you like to be creative and you've got a flair for design, you can enhance your home's interior without spending a fortune.
The thing I love about using arts and crafts around the home is the fact it makes it more personal to me. My house is packed full of small personal home-made details. It's this that really helps me to relax after a long busy day.
It's easy to add your own personal touches to the home and below you'll find five quick projects you can start today.
1) Mosaic pictures
Mosaic pictures provide a wonderful textured focal point to any wall in the home. All you'll need is crockery and tiles, tile nippers, adhesive, grout and a grout scraper. It would also help if you wore safety goggles so no flying tile pieces get into your eyes. You can actually buy mosaic making kits which contain everything you need.
2) Repaint your cupboards
One of the easiest ways to make a big change without spending a lot of money is to repaint your kitchen cupboards. Opt for bright colours if you want to really revive the home. Bright red or yellow looks fantastic in the kitchen. This is something you can also do to old wooden furniture throughout the home.
Possibly paint without the help of the kids mind!
3) Saw your exterior door in half
Ok, so you don't want to saw the door in half and just leave it. I'm referring to turning your wooden exterior doors into stable style doors. This gives them a fantastic country-style look.
4) Create a storage divider
Creating a wooden drawer storage divider will help to keep the interior of your home less cluttered. You can even use it to store your phone, purse, keys and chargers. They're simple to create; you just need to invest in good quality wood and strong adhesive.
5) Dramatise your stairway
Often it's the smallest details that make the biggest difference. Add a little drama to your stairs by painting the edges black or dark brown and painting the rest of the stairs white. This adds a wonderful two-tone effect that really captures the eye.

Original paper
Fen vegetation of Banff National Park, Canada
Kojima, S.
Phytocoenologia Band 14 Heft 1 (1986), p. 1 - 17
51 references
published: Mar 10, 1986
ArtNo. ESP024001401001, Price: 29.00 €
This article presents a phytosociological classification of fen vegetation in Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada, and its ecological interpretation. One order, one alliance, and two associations with two variants were recognized as follows: Order: Betuletalia pumilae glanduliferae - Alliance: Potentillo (fruticosae)-Betulio pumilae glanduliferae - Association 1: Scorpidio-Scirpetum caespitosi 1': tofieldiosum 1'':typicum - Association 2: Aulacomnio (palustris)-Deschampsietum caespitosae. The order and alliance represent phytocoenoses of minerotrophic and eutrophic wetlands in the subalpine zone in the Rocky Mountains, where parent material consists predominantly of calcareous material. The first association develops in comparatively higher elevations within the subalpine zone and on organic soils with high water table, while the second association in relatively lower elevations and on mineral soils with thick accumulation of organic layer with slightly low water table. These phytocoenoses appear to have developed strongly affected by a cool and relatively moist climate of the subalpine zone and, therefore, their occurence seems to be confined mainly to the subalpine zone.
fen • subalpine zone • moist • calcareous • Banff National Park • Alberta • Canada

Senate of Pakistan to host first meeting of SCCAP during February 2017
On the occasion of 9th Plenary Session of Asian Parliamentary Assembly (APA) being held in Siem Reap, Cambodia, Pakistan chaired the APA Special Committee on Creation of Asian Parliament, which was attended by all the member parliament countries.
According to a message received from Cambodia, Chairman Senate Mian Raza Rabbani shared his views and ideas about the proposed Asian Parliament and said that it would be a voice of people of Asia in the face of historic and emerging challenges and it should be taken as ultimate goal of the Asian Parliamentary Assembly.
The Secretary Senate presented a plan of action drafted by the Senate of Pakistan for deliberation and base work to prepare a roadmap. The members of Parliament of 14 countries spoke on the concept and proposals given by Pakistan.
Majority of these were appreciative of the Pakistan Senate proposals and efforts. Pakistan will host three meetings in Islamabad during 2017 to firm up ideas and proposals in this connection. Pakistan proposed 5 sub-groups of APA member countries to give well thought out and coordinated input by representatives of each subgroup during the coming meetings.
Speaking on the occasion, Rabbani said that a forum of Asian Parliament would provide a better opportunity for resolution of issues and overcoming challenges hampering the progress of Asian region. He underscored the need for enhanced parliamentary linkages for adopting common agenda for the betterment of the people of the Asia.
The Senate of Pakistan appreciated the all APA members and especially the president APA for electing Pakistan as the Vice President of APA Standing Committee on Political Affairs (SCCAP) for the year 2017. Being Chair of the Political Affairs Committee, the Senate of Pakistan shall host independent meetings of the SCCAP before it may submit concrete proposals to the Political Affairs Committee.
During the meeting, the Secretary Senate of Pakistan Amjed Prevez Malik while elaborating the way forward, informed that as the first step, and to generate a meaningful discussion on the matter, Rabbani, during the meeting of APA Standing Committee on Economic & Sustainable Development Affairs held in Islamabad on July 26, 2016, presented a proposal to APA Parliaments to form 5 to 7 sub-regional geo-political groups within APA.
These sub-groups are being formed with the sole purpose of facilitating the discussion on creation of the Asian Parliament. The sub-groups shall meet on the sidelines of the meetings of the four APA Standing Committees, two Executive Council Meetings and also additional meetings, as convenient to them, during the year. The sub-groups shall provide consensus based input of their region to the SCCAP.
The Senate of Pakistan will host the first meeting of SCCAP during February 2017. The SCCAP meeting will deliberate on the modalities and requisites of Asian Parliament like its composition, bureau, membership, defining its power, whether advisory or legislative and mode of election. The SCCAP shall also discuss various existing models of regional parliamentary platforms and shall propose the desired model of the Asian Parliament. As part of generating consensus amongst APA states on integration of Asia, poverty alleviation, human rights, environment and other issues of common interest, shall be on the agenda of SCCAP during 2017.

Row Over York Hosting Costs for Tour de France Continues
6:02am 15th February 2013
The City of York council says it's too soon to publish the costs of hosting the second day of the Tour de France.
Welcome to Yorkshire estimates the cost to the county will be £10 million, it's claimed £3.6 million will be paid for by Leeds.
But the city council says it still needs more details of the route before it can create a realistic budget.
Kersten England, Chief Executive of City of York council said:
"We are working closely with Welcome to Yorkshire, other local authorities and ASO (the organisers) to define the detail of the Tour, including the technical specifications. This will lead to much greater definition of the budget. Welcome to Yorkshire have estimated the broad costs for the Tour as £10m, with a return on investment of £100m.
"As the lead authority, Leeds have worked through a budget estimate for their section of Le Grand Depart. The general routes were advised on Thursday 17th January and further technical details relevant to each venue and route will be forthcoming over the next few months, which will enable each authority to refine these costs to create realistic budgets.
"Welcome to Yorkshire and the Yorkshire local authorities are currently investigating a range of funding streams to support the hosting costs, the event delivery and the long term cycling strategy.
"During the bidding process Welcome to Yorkshire did talk to a range of organisations and authorities about their experiences of hosting the Tour. The economic impact of the Tour de France in the UK in 2007 is a matter of public record and easily available on the Internet. Using the data from the 2007 event in the UK the early estimate for Economic impact is £100m and a detailed study will be undertaken to assess both the economic and social impact of the event."
Opposition Lib Dems want the full costs of the Tour in York to be published and are calling for businesses which benefit to contribute towards the cost.
Yesterday the party's Nigel Ayre said:
"This is not about whether hosting the Tour is a good or bad thing; it is about being open with the public. Figures from Leeds show that they are expecting to spend around £3.6million staging the event. One would expect the figure for York to be broadly similar; however, so far the Labour Cabinet have not revealed anything beyond the initial £500,000 hosting fee."
"We also need answers as to what, if any, contribution businesses will make. After all, it would make sense if those that most benefitted financially from the event contributed to the cost. It is also unclear what, if any, funding opportunities will actually be available. At the moment the whole thing is shrouded in secrecy."
Labour leader James Alexander has responded by accusing the party of wanting a new business tax.
The Liberal Democrats says they does not want to bring in a new tax.
Nigel Ayre says talks about possible contributions from business can't take place until the costs are revealed.
But there have been some answers regarding another question about the funding of road improvements for the Tour de France.
Yesterday Councillor Ayre said:
"We have also asked for a guarantee that areas off the route will not be penalized. We know Leeds are spending around £1million on road resurfacing. Any similar spending in York should not come from general road maintenance budgets. It should not be case that residents in Heworth Without or Huntington don't get potholes repaired because the money is diverted to the Tour route."
Chief Executive of the city council Kersten England has responded:
"The exact route to be taken through and around York has yet to be finalised by ASO. We expect the road maintenance budget to be added to as necessary, to meet specifications for the Tour de France. Clearly, should road maintenance have been planned for roads which are also part of the route, this would come out of the maintenance budgets planned for this very purpose."

Thanks my friend.
Hi and thanks for asking. I'll be posting this after going through my messages. I'm sorry and saddened to say that my wife passed on October 19th. I got a call at 4:30 in the morning from the rehab/nursing home center saying she was found unresponsive and I should go to the hospital. I was met by the emergency room Chaplin. Sadly, her heart had stopped. I guess the infection she was battling was growing. The family has been at the house. Today is my first full day of being alone and on my own. I'm trying to accept this and it will take a long time. I loved her with all my heart and soul.
Oh no problem at all! Thank you as well. And indeed we do! If you ever are searching for some good conversation don't be afraid to shoot me a message.
Thanks. My church is praying for her as well, and they have gotten some amazing results in the past. They're also a wonderful, caring and loving group of people. My wife and I are so blessed to have been drawn to our church. Again, thanks.
Thanks for asking. I'm afraid she isn't. They're trying to find ways to control the pain. When she goes to dialysis, the machine filters out the pain meds and she's in agony. She was only able to dialyze 3 hours today. It should have been four. They're going to try a pain med patch which should deliver the med over a period of time. She had the patch on today, but as her pill med was running out, she was in a lot of pain. I had hoped that her back would be healing by now, but it's not. She still seems to have the same amount of pain, just masked by the opcodes.
Thanks for asking. Her dialysis catheter became infected by one of the nastier bugs, and she had a lot of pain in her lower back and neck. They put in a temporary catheter and tomorrow she should get the permanent one. It's a painful process so she's been really down. The infection now tests negative which is good, but all of her skin looks black and blue. She's had a tough time. From the hospital she will have to go into residential rehab to get stronger so she can go home, so she has a lot in front of her. You're a good guy of noticing. Thanks.
How 'bout - put a pad, in a pull-up?
If that means clamp... other than any short term kinkiness... I think we're generally of the notion, that that is not a good idea for much more than a few minutes duration of use... I recommend the clear surgical grade silicone, external caths... get a leg or belly collection bag (that comes with the tubing)... Bard, Rousch, Coloplast, etc... I have latex sensitivities so, I don't use those kind plus, you can see skin condition and output color with the clear ones...

Challenges Remain Despite Easing Economic Strains
- Details
- Written by RTT News
Although the Greek saga continued to create volatility in the markets last week, the economic recovery at least domestically does not appear bleak. After recovering in fits and starts, there appears to be an across the board, modest and continuing improvement in economic conditions. The job market is a case in point. The weekly jobless claims have remained well below the 400,000 level for weeks now.
Despite liquidity injections by central banks world over, inflation has not raised its ugly head and remains under control. Even in the debt-ravaged Europe, the improvement is there to see. Some of the peripheral nations, which are facing liquidity strains, are being brought under the scanner and efforts are on to help them alleviate the fiscal woes they are facing. So, is there a light at the end of the tunnel? Only time will tell.
Last week, the Federal Reserve's consumer credit report showed that outstanding consumer credit rose at a healthy pace for a second straight month. Consumer credit rose by $19.3 billion or at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 9.3 percent, with non-revolving credit rising by 11.8 percent compared to a more modest 4.1 percent increase in revolving credit.
Meanwhile, the U.S. trade deficit widened to $48.8 billion in December, the biggest gap since June. Imports rose 1.3 percent month-over-month compared to a muted 0.7 percent increase in exports.
Main Street will be once again be buzzing with activity in the unfolding week after the relative calm of the previous week. The Commerce Department's retail sales report for January, the results of the February manufacturing surveys of the New York Federal Reserve and the Philadelphia Federal Reserve, the Federal Reserve's industrial production report for January, the National Association of Homebuilders housing market index for February, the Commerce Department's housing starts report and the weekly jobless claims report are among the closely watched reports of the week.
Traders may also focus on the minutes of the January FOMC meeting, some Fed speeches, announcements concerning Treasury auctions of 2-year, 5-year and 7-year notes and the Labor Department's consumer and producer price inflation reports for December. The business inventories report for December and the Conference Board's leading economic indicators index round up the major economic events of the week.
Retail sales may have perked up in January, given the improvement we have been seeing in the labor and housing markets. Solid January auto sales are expected to have boosted the headline number, while higher gasoline sales may also have lent support.
Higher auto sales also point towards healthy industrial production growth for January. Additionally, firmer metal prices could have lifted mining production, while utility output is expected to have been constrained by unusually warm winter weather.
However, the weather may have benefited housing starts, which could have rebounded in January from the previous month's 4 percent drop. According to BMO Capital Markets, going forward, residential construction will support rather than restrain recovery, as demand stabilizes and homebuilders start replenishing lean inventories.
There are no economic reports due to be released on Monday.
Retail sales of food and retail companies with one or more establishments that sell merchandise and associated services to final consumers are slated to be released at 8:30 am ET. For January, economists estimate a 0.7 percent increase in retail sales and a 0.6 percent increase in retail sales that exclude autos.
U.S. retail sales rose 0.1 percent month-over-month in December. Meanwhile, the previous month's growth was upwardly revised to 0.4 percent from the initially estimated 0.2 percent increase. Sales, excluding autos, fell 0.2 percent, the first drop since May 2010. Auto sales climbed 1.5 percent, while electronics/appliances store sales fell 3.9 percent and gas station sales slipped 1.6 percent. Retail sales, excluding autos, gasoline and building materials, edged down 0.2 percent.
The export & import price indexes for January, which gives the changes in the prices of non-military goods and services traded between the U.S. and the rest of the world, are due out at 8:30 am ET. The consensus estimates call for a 0.3 percent month-over-month increase in import prices and a steeper 0.1 percent increase in export prices.
In December, imports prices edged down by 0.1 percent after rising by an upwardly revised 0.8 percent in November. The drop was largely due to a 0.5 percent decrease in prices for fuel imports. Additionally, the report showed that export prices fell by 0.5 percent in December following a 0.1 percent increase in November.
Philadelphia Federal Reserve Bank President Charles Plosser is due to speak to the University of Delaware Center for Economic Education and Entrepreneuship on the economic outlook, in Newark, Delaware at 8:45 am ET.
The Commerce Department is scheduled to release its business inventories report for December at 10 am ET. The report summarizes the results from the monthly retail trade, wholesale trade and factory goods orders surveys. The report is expected to show a 0.5 percent increase in business inventories for the month.
In November, business sales rose 0.3 percent month-over-month and were 9.6 higher than in the year-ago period. Business inventories at the end of November were also up 0.3 percent and increased 8.5 percent from the year-ago period. The total business inventories to sales ratio was at 1.27 compared to 1.28 in November 2010.
The results of the New York Federal Reserve's empire state manufacturing survey, which elicits response from 200 manufacturing executives in New York state, is slated to be released at 8:30 am ET. The headline general business conditions index for February is expected to come in at 14.75.
Conditions among manufacturers in the region continued to improve in January. The headline business conditions index rose to 13.5 in January from a revised reading of 8.2 for December, reaching the highest level since April 2011. The new orders index rose to 13.7 from 6, while the order backlogs index improved to -5.5 from -15.1.
The Treasury Department is due to release a report on the flows of financial instruments into and out of the U.S. for December at 9 am ET.
The Federal Reserve's industrial production report is due out at 9:15 am ET. Economists estimate 0.7 percent growth in industrial production for January
U.S. industrial output rose at a slightly slower than expected pace of 0.4 percent month-over-month in December, with manufacturing output advancing by a solid 0.9 percent. The previous two months' readings were downwardly revised. Mining output was up 0.3 percent, while utilities output fell 2.7 percent. Capacity utilization rose 0.3 points to 78.1 percent. Business equipment production climbed 0.7 percent and production of industrial equipment was up 1.5 percent.
Dallas Federal Reserve Bank President Richard Fisher is scheduled to speak to the Texas Manufacturers Summit 2012 and then to the media at 9:15 am ET.
The National Association of Homebuilders is scheduled to release the results of its February survey on homebuilders' confidence at 10 am ET. The consensus estimates call for the index to increase to 26.
In January, the homebuilder sentiment index rose to 25 from 21. The headline index is now at its highest level since June 2007. The present conditions index rose 3 points to 25 and the sales expectations index also increased by a similar magnitude to 29, while the index measuring prospective buyer traffic was up 3 points to 21.
The Energy Information Administration is scheduled to release its weekly petroleum inventory report for the week ended February 10th at 10:30 am ET.
Crude oil stockpiles edged up by 0.3 million barrels to 339.2 million barrels in the week ended February 3rd, with inventories remaining in the upper limit of the average range.
Gasoline inventories rose by 1.6 million barrels and remained in the upper limit of the average range. Distillate inventories also climbed, rising by 1.2 million barrels, and were in the middle of the average range. Refinery capacity utilization averaged 82.6 percent over the four-weeks ended February 3rd compared to 83.3 percent over the previous four weeks.
The Federal Reserve is due to release the minutes of its January 24th-25th meeting at 2 pm ET.
Following the conclusion of the 2-day monetary policy meeting, the Federal Reserve said it expects economic conditions over the medium term to warrant exceptionally low levels for the federal funds rate at least through late 2014 compared to its earlier view of keeping interest rates unchanged till the middle of 2013.
Much of the remainder of the statement was maintained unchanged, while the central bank reiterated its commitment towards implementing its already announced bond buying program.
Updating its economic forecast, the Fed lowered the central tendency of its 2012 GDP forecast to 2.2-2.7 percent from 2.5-2.9 percent. The 2013 forecast was also lowered to 2.8-3.2 percent, but the 2014 forecast was upwardly revised to 3.3-4 percent from 3-3.9 percent.
The unemployment rate projections were lowered for all three years, while for core PCE inflation, the Fed upwardly revised the high end of its 2012 forecast and also nudged up its forecast for 2013.
In a landmark event, the central bank also unveiled the interest rate forecast of the FOMC members, with most members expecting normalization to begin by the end of 2014. They also see the possibility of QE3 later in 2012.
A report on housing starts, which refer to the number of privately-owned new homes on which construction has been started over some period, and building permits, which are the number of permits issued for new housing units each month, is slated to be released at 8:30 am ET. Economists estimate housing starts of 675,000 for January, while building permits are also expected at 684,000.
Housing starts fell by 4.1 percent month-over-month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 657,000 units in December following a 9.1 percent surge in the previous month. Multi-family starts slumped 20.4 percent and were primarily responsible for the drop, while single-family starts rose 4.4 percent. Building permits, an indicator of future housing activity, fell merely 0.1 percent to 679,000 units.
The Labor Department is due to release its customary jobless claims report for the week ended February 11th at 8:30 am ET. Economists expect claims to edge up to 365,000 in the recent reporting week.
Initial jobless claims fell to 358,000 in the week ended February 4th from the previous week's revised figure of 373,000. Economists had been expecting jobless claims to edge up to 370,000 from the 367,000 originally reported for the previous week. The Labor Department also said that the less volatile four-week moving average fell to 366,250 from the previous week's revised average of 377,250.
The U.S. Labor Department is scheduled to release its report on the producer price index for January at 8:30 am ET. The index measures the average change over time in the prices received by domestic producers of goods and services. Economists expect the headline index for January to have risen by 0.4 percent and the core producer price index may have increased by 0.2 percent.
The producer price index fell by 0.1 percent in December. The year-over-year rate of producer price inflation slowed to 4.8 percent, the smallest increase in about a year. However, excluding food and energy, core producer prices rose 0.3 percent, the biggest increase in 5 months. The annual rate of core producer price inflation rose to 3.1 percent. Pipeline inflationary pressure is easing, with core intermediate prices falling by 0.5 percent.

Doctors Raise Custody Question Over Very Obese Children
July 13, 2011 by staff
Doctors Raise Custody Question Over Very Obese Children, A new controversy is shooting editorial debate on what to do with children who have become severely overweight, suggesting that some of them must be placed in foster care.
In an opinion piece in Wednesday's Journal of the American Medical Association, a specialist in obesity and its co-author discuss the ethical and legal considerations lead to severely overweight children away from their parents.
Dr. David Ludwig, an obesity specialist at Children's Hospital Boston and Lindsey Murtagh, a lawyer and researcher at the Harvard School of Public Health, writes the piece.
They say that kids are thinking that there are those who are slightly overweight. They are referring to those who are severely obese, who are about to develop health problems like type 2 diabetes or liver disease.
Some of these children may be taking in 1,000 calories a day or more above what they should, "suggesting deeply dysfunctional eating habits and activity."
"In severe cases of childhood obesity, the removal of the house may be justifiable from a legal standpoint, due to the imminent health risks and the failure of parents to cope with chronic health problems," they write.
Parents have the right to raise their children, as they want, the authors said. But they say there are many cases in which the State will intervene to protect a child. In cases of abuse or neglect or severe malnutrition, child welfare workers often step in.
And yet, they say, only a handful of states have ever used child abuse laws to intervene in cases of "overnutrition" and severe obesity.
"The intervention could serve the interests of many children with life-threatening obesity, including the only realistic way to control harmful behaviors," they write.
The authors acknowledge that foster care is often not ideal and does not guarantee that children lose weight. And admit that taking children away from their families put at risk of emotional harm.
They also note that since there are about 2 million children in the U.S. who are extremely obese, the elimination of all of them to leave their homes is likely unfeasible. However, they say they take the children away from their caregivers may be more ethical alternative: putting children to obesity surgery.
"Ultimately, the government can reduce the need for this type of intervention through investments in social infrastructure and policies to improve diet and promote physical activity among children," they conclude.
Ludwig and Murtagh are not the first to propose state intervention in cases of extremely overweight children.
In a commentary last year in the British medical journal British Medical Journal, the pediatrician Dr. Russell Viner and colleagues said that obesity was a factor in some child protection cases in Britain. They argued that child protection services should be considered if parents are negligent or actively reject efforts to control the weight of an extremely obese child.
An opinion article in Pediatrics in 2009 made similar arguments. Its authors said the temporary removal of the house would be justified "when all reasonable alternatives have been exhausted."
They discussed a piece of 200 kg (440 lb) of 16 years who developed respiratory problems from being overweight and nearly died in a hospital of the University of Wisconsin.
The doctors discussed the possibility of informing your family for neglect. In the end they did not, because his health crisis "was a wake up call" for your family. She went on to lose about 100 pounds.
Jerri Gray, a mother of Greenville, South Carolina only lost custody of her 555 pounds (250 kg) 14-year-old son two years, told the AP that many people do not understand the challenges faced by some Families try to control the weight of their children.
"He was always working two jobs so we do not end up living in ghettos," said Gray.
He said he often did not have time to cook, so she bought her son fast food. When asked doctors for help for your child's appetite, was charged with negligence.
His sister has custody of the child, now 16. Gray said her sister had the money to help him with a special diet and exercise, and the child has lost over 200 pounds.
"Despite this good has come out as to what to lose weight, told me last week," Mommy, I want to be with you so bad. "They have done damage by pulling us apart," said Gray.

Chicago is getting a dose of Vegas.
TAO group is planning its first project in the Windy City – a glitzy clubstaurant.
The brand, which has restaurant/nightclub hybrids in both New York and Vegas, will be taking over the former Castle space in River North.
Castle was a nightclub located in the historical (and supposedly haunted) building at 632 N. Dearborn St.
The landmark building was previously home to Excalibur and Limelight, all of which shut down.
TAO is also expanding to Los Angeles with two new projects.
Will their new Chicago hot spot bring out all the biggest celebs?

Adjustable Rate Mortgages
Start with a low interest rate.
If you like the idea of an initial interest rate that is typically lower than a Fixed Rate loan, an Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM) may be the just the right fit. It's especially attractive to those who plan to own their property for just a few years, or if you are expecting your income to grow.
ARM interest rates are tied to an index and adjusted at regular intervals. As market conditions change, your interest rate may go up or down.
Who is best suited to an ARM?
Those who plan to sell or refinance within a few years of purchase. What's the advantage? You get the ARM's low initial rate and move before it goes up. Those who buy a home when mortgage rates are high. An ARM can make the first few years of your mortgage more affordable. Those who expect household incomes to increase. The ARM's initial low rate can be a budget saver. Then when rates increase, your income may be on track to accommodate the change.
What are the benefits of an Associated ARM?
- Lower initial interest rates than most fixed mortgages
- Rate protection up to a full 10 years with our 10 year ARM Potential for some ARM's to convert to a fixed rate mortgage
- Preferred rates and discounts on Associated CD's, checking and money market accounts
Is an ARM a good fit? Some questions to consider:
- What is the initial rate and how long is it in effect?
- How often does the mortgage interest rate adjust? The longer the time between adjustments, the more predictable your monthly payments.
- Are there rate caps?
- How much can the interest rate rise at each adjustment?
- How much over the life of the loan?
- Can an ARM convert to a fixed rate mortgage?

Yoodle-Lady-Hoo I'm Back and I want your Family Reunion stories, tips and lessons learned!
Expand Messages
- Hi all,I ask you who have had family reunions to submit your stories, tips and lessons learned from your family gatherings. Photos are always nice as well. So please think about this and send me your stories before you go off on summer vacation, as the deadline for our October issue is August 15.I am back from a family reunion myself. Over 150 members of the Niedermoser family gathered in Austria from Canada, Switzerland, Germany and Austria. The Niedermoser family has been traced to about 1700 to Valentin Niedermoser of Waidring, Tirol (Tyrol is the more common anglicization but Tirol is what they have on the maps over there!)From Waidring the family spread to St. Jacob-in-Haus, Fieberbrunn, St. Johann-am-Pillersee and other areas nearby. Two Niedermoser family members immigrated to Canada in 1908. The descendants of those two women are now found in Alberta and British Columbia. One woman's children bear her married name, but the other had her children before she married. Thus there are some in Canada who still have this surname.Eleven descendants of these two women made the trip. It was an amazing eyeopener and I am excited to tell you more in the October issue. I hope you will think back on a family reunion you attended or organized, whether this was in North America or abroad. Please tell us about it.Who was the common ancestor of all?When did he or she live and where?How many attended the reunion and from where did they travel to attend?What were the organized activities?What would you keep the same? What would you change for next time?Send photos of the ancestor and/or reunion attendees/events and/or maps of the ancestral area.I want to devote the October issue to reunions. That does not mean no other articles will be accepted but the more reunion stories, tips and lessons, the better.So start writing!

text: Hi All, Well, I finally got my new Char-Griller Wrangler with the firebox put together and seasoned (some pics below), and I'm looking forward to actually getting around to some smoking (this weekend or next, time is tight for me). I know the thermometer that comes with these things is far from accurate, so I had a "replacement" thermometer sitting on the warming rack while I was seasoning the smoker. The thermo in the hood read around 250°, while the one on the rack read close to 400°! I just got a Maverick dual probe remote and I will be checking the temp again the next time I fire her up. I see a lot of stuff around the forums for various "mods" to these things, and I have a couple of questions (I know they're probably handled in some other thread(s), but if I can get them answered here (or get pointed to the threads I'm looking for) I'll be very happy. Are there any "must have" mods that I can't live without? I see some stuff about making (or buying and adapting) charcoal baskets for the firebox. Is there a "best" way to do this? This firebox comes with grids for cooking, can I put the coals right on the grids? What the heck is a "tuning plate"? If I use the smoke chamber for grilling, will I have to re-season it? Really? Can't I just use the darn thing as it is, without any mods? What are the pitfalls? Thanks so much in advance for any information. I am still so new to this smoking thing, that I feel a bit lost, and overwhelmed by so much information in the forums... Regards, Andy

Mining Publication: Shock Reduction for Low-Coal Shuttle Car Operators Using Viscoelastic Seating Foam
Original creation date: March 1998
The prolonged exposure of equipment operators to shock and whole-body vibration (WBV) is linked to cumulative back, neck, and abdominal disorders. In low-coal mines, space restrictions make seat suspensions difficult to use in isolating operators from shock and WBV. Researchers at NIOSH, Pittsburgh Research Laboratory, are responding to these issues by investigating viscoelastic foams. For the full-load case, an ergonomic seat with viscoelastic foams isolated the shuttle car operator from shock at 15Hz. Researchers used results from additional foam testing with an analytical model to identify viscoelastic foams that provide shock isolation at a frequency below 5Hz.

1. Protect your Ideas
Digital media and other technology companies derive most of their value from their innovative ideas, or intellectual property (IP). That IP isn't nearly as valuable, and you won't be nearly as attractive to venture capital (VC), if you can't stop others from copying or using your IP.
Before you go to market and tell the world about your great ideas, find out what protection is available for your IP. There are some basic steps you can take (without spending a lot of money) to ensure your IP is not used by others, and continues to give you a competitive advantage. Consider patent and trademark registrations, and make sure employees and others developing or having access to your IP assign any rights to you and enter into confidentiality agreements.
You should also check to make sure you're not using someone else's IP in a manner that's infringement, which can happen even if it's independently developed by you (not copied).
2. Incorporation
Most businesses should be carried on through a corporation, keeping business assets (including your valuable IP) and liabilities separate from those of individual owners (or shareholders) and providing a vehicle for investment, whether that's VC or seed capital from angel investors, founders, family or friends.
Incorporate early and avoid the added complexity and cost of transferring the business to a corporation later.
Once you've incorporated you should maintain the corporate records properly, particularly documents relating to the issuance of shares (more on this below), appointment of directors, and authorization of changes to the principal corporate documents (such as the share terms and other provisions in the articles of incorporation). Without proper records, VCs may be concerned that prior transactions have not been properly authorized or are not in compliance with applicable laws, which can adversely affect the corporation or the VC's rights as a shareholder. Even if these deficiencies are unlikely to actually cause problems, VCs will be concerned these "skeletons in the closet" may hurt their ability to sell the company or take it public.
3. Issuing Shares
When issuing shares of a corporation:
- Pick your shareholders with care – consider whether you want the person to be an investor in your business; even a small shareholder can be a nuisance and hard to get rid of (without a shareholders' agreement with the right provisions). More on this below.
- Consider securities laws – make sure each issuance of shares is exempt from securities laws applicable to public offerings (IPOs). They generally will be for founders and family, but friends and angel investors may not qualify. VCs will want to know the prior share issuances are not "off side" – another "skeleton in his closet" that makes your company less attractive and may hurt your ability to raise funds.
- Document the issuance of shares properly – without this, you may not be able to show with certainty the number of shares issued and who the shareholders are, or demonstrate compliance with securities laws, which can be a major concern to VC.
4. Shareholders Agreement
You need a shareholders agreement to deal with:
- Decision-Making – What decision-making (or control) shareholders have (or don't have). Relying on a "majority rule" (based solely on shareholders voting rights) without a shareholders agreement is fraught with problems – it can result in shareholders, large or small, having too much control over some decisions, or not enough over other decisions.
- Finances – How the business will be funded; that is, obligations of existing shareholders to advance additional funds or give guarantees, and any restrictions on accepting new shareholders (such as pre-emptive rights) or obtaining bank loans.
- Distribution of Profits – How any profits will be distributed, whether as dividends or bonuses to employee shareholders.
- Sale of the Company – Absent a shareholders agreement, shareholders generally cannot sell, or be forced to sell, their shares, and a sale of the corporation's assets may be blocked by minority shareholders. You may want the right to buy back shares after a shareholder ceases to be actively involved in the business (which, following death, can apply to a shareholder's heirs). A majority of shareholders should be able to force a sale of the company if not all shareholders agree – a "drag-along" provision is essential to be able to force all shareholders to sell their shares.
5. Key Contract Provisions
Contracts key to your business (e.g. IP licenses, long term or large value customer contracts) should have appropriate provisions when dealing with matters such as ownership of IP, liability, indemnification, termination, and assignability. You should have a good standard form contract for ordinary course repeat transactions (e.g. end user license agreements) and have significant "one-off" agreements reviewed by a lawyer.
VCs will review contracts as part of their due diligence, and serious flaws, particularly those that fail to protect ownership of IP or leave your company exposed to potentially large liabilities (even if only contingent and unlikely to materialize), can jeopardize a deal.
6. Business Strategy and Proof of Concept
Do you have a well thought out business strategy for your business? What is your value proposition, how will you go to market, which market and verticals are you targeting, what's your pricing strategy, how are you going to scale the business, and do you have product development roadmap? If some of these pieces are not yet defined or clear, approaching VCs too early may produce a negative first impression and hinder your chances of raising capital.
Unless you're a serial entrepreneur who has made money for a VC before, it is unlikely that a VC would invest in your business before seeing proof of some traction of your product/service in the market. It's important to win a couple of meaningful clients to validate the potential of the product/service to VC.
7. Pitching your Business to VCs
VCs meet hundreds of companies and need to quickly decide whether the business they are looking at deserves investing their limited time. Listening to pitches every day makes it relatively easy for a VC to rapidly brush off less attractive opportunities.
Before getting in front of one of them make sure your pitch is well rehearsed, short and crisp. At a high level a few key elements should come across very quickly and clearly:
- what is and how big is the market opportunity
- what is the value proposition of the business to address the opportunity
- why is the business going to win against competitors
- what is the business model and business strategy
- management team competence and ability to execute
- what are likely exit scenarios
8. How Much is Needed and How Will the Funds be Used
When trying to raise money for your business, one of the first questions will be around the amount and use of funds. A clear idea of the amount needed and how this ties to the growth of the business (backed by a business plan and financial model) will be expected.
One dilemma often facing entrepreneurs is the speed at which to ramp up the business, which is often contingent on the availability of resources and capital. For VCs it's critical to understand how the deployment of more or less funds is going to translate into top line growth. The quantum of the funds sought should be considered in this context and should provide flexibility to allow the business plan to still be executed if growth this materializes more slowly than anticipated. You don't want to run out of funds because you're six months behind in your plan.
9. Value Expectations
At the early stages, the value of a technology company is highly debatable and subjective. A number of factors will play a role including the size and growth potential of the market, scalability and competitive advantage (including IP protection) of the technology, path to profitability, capability of the management team (skillset, prior experience building a business successfully) etc. Ultimately, it comes down to the prospect of the business generating cash flow in the future, which depends on many assumptions. Views on these assumptions, and therefore value, will differ.
Speak to as many VCs as you possibly can and get their view on how they would value your business. It is important for you to be realistic. If the general consensus on the value of your business is significantly less than your own valuation, consider the following:
- If you've talked to a sufficiently representative group of VCs and they all indicate a similar value, then probably that's what the market is willing today to price a business in your sector and with your characteristics (this may have a lot to do with perception of the attractiveness of a sector at a given point in time)
- Investors are investing to make money and need to believe that a market risk adjusted return can be achieved.
- This will likely not be the last time you need to raise funds, and it will be important from a story and optics perspective to do the next round at a higher valuation (it's all about growth). If you price too high today you may be pricing out future investors, increasing the risk of a "down" round (a financing done at a valuation lower than the previous), and have unhappy investors on board.
10. The Right VC for Your Business
What are you looking for? Not all VCs are the same and you'll be well served by doing due diligence on them, just like they'll do on you and your business. It is a good idea to start this process early, before you're running out of money, so that you'll have time to explore different options and have more flexibility.
When you take VC money you also partner with sophisticated investors that will have a say in how you run your business. At a minimum, you should be comfortable with the individuals (who will most likely be sitting on your board) and find out about their experience with other investments and entrepreneurs.
What do potential VCs bring to the table? Is it only capital, or are they going to be able to open doors for your business? Will they be passive or active investors? What is their attitude? Will they back you up if things get tough (e.g. provide more funds) or run for an exit? What kind of rights are they looking for as part of their investment? Will they be an asset or a liability when trying to attract more investors down the road (connections, reputation, terms of their original investment, association with a strategic party, etc.).
The foregoing provides only an overview and does not constitute legal advice. Readers are cautioned against making any decisions based on this material alone. Rather, specific legal advice should be obtained.

Xiaomi Introduces Hi-Tech Rice Cooker
Mar 31, 2016 08:02 AM EDT | By Anita Valensia
Chinese smartphone maker, Xiaomi, introduced its new product that's not a telecommunication device but a hi-tech rice cooker. After a successful sale of more than 5 billion RMB in the previous year, the brand is confident to expand its network - launching another premium household product in the market.
Mi Ecosystem is Xiaomi's brand division that has a separate business line from the smartphone- manufacturing household products such as TVs and air purifiers. Mi's rice cooker is an approach to combine technology with a handful product in the kitchen. For tech savvy Moms, the sleek minimalist design and a much lower price (than the highly regarded Japanese products with similar specs), could mean a value-added feature.
Albeit taking the Japanese approach in crafting its household products, Xiaomi's rice cooker is 4 times cheaper than Japanese rice cookers. It is tagged with a price of 999 yuan or around $153.
The cooker uses pressure control and Teflon coated the iron bowl with induction heating system and is connected to Xiaomi phone's app, Mi Home. Users can scan barcodes to achieve different types of the cooking method along with an ideal temperature and the cooker will automatically adjust it. According to The Verge, the device database has a collection of 200 different rice brands. The product itself would level up Asian's households as rice is an essential staple food in the region.
Although the innovation is hoped to bring the art of cooking rice to the West, there is still no international plan being scheduled so far. However, the company's vice president, Liu De, sees a big trend ahead in high-tech home products. Liu said that today's era is about 'smartphone controlling our things'. Aiming to double its sales this year, the smartphone-controlled rice cooker is just one of the many tools that Xiaomi plans to 'connect to the internet'.

CORE B: The Clinical Ascertainment and Phenotyping Core will establish the clinical and phenotypic classifications which are pivotal for the Program. Core B will also manage all of the biologic resources for the Program. The goal of Core B is to recruit patients and members of families with familial interstitial pneumonia (FIP), to characterize all phenotypes, and obtain the specimens needed to conduct all studies ofthe Program. Core B personnel and facilities will perform the following key functions: 1) patient and family ascertainment, 2) recruitment, 3) phenotyping, 4) database maintenance, 5) specimen acquisition and banking, 6) specimen retrieval and distribution, 7) telomere length analyses. Core B study coordinators at all 3 sites (Vanderbilt, National Jewish/Univ Colorado, and Duke) enter and maintain a detailed database in Progeny Software (Wolfville, Nova Scotia), including pedigree information on each family and phenotype on each individual. Core B laboratory personnel will be responsible for specimen processing, cell culture, storage and management of specimen data. Core B will provide biomaterials (serum, lymphocytes, lymphoblastoids, lung tissue) and high throughput molecular biology services (telomere length analyses) to Program investigators.
Interstitial lung diseases, including the idiopathic interstitial pneumonias, are a substantial cause of morbidity and mortality for which there are no effective treatments. In this program, we will study the genetics and underlying biological mechanisms that lead to progressive fibrosis in the lungs. Our integrated approach will lead to new concepts in disease pathogenesis and identification of novel treatment strategies.

Created in partnership with independent Irish watchmaker Stephen McDonnell, the Legacy Machine Perpetual, featuring a visually stunning in-house movement, eliminates the drawbacks of conventional perpetual calendars.
LM Perpetual features a fully integrated 581-component calibre − no module, no base movement − with a revolutionary new system for calculating the number of days in each month. And it holistically reinterprets the aesthetics of the perpetual calendar by placing the full complication on dial-free display underneath a spectacular suspended balance.
The fully integrated, purpose-built movement of Legacy Machine Perpetual has been designed from scratch for trouble-free use: no more skipping dates or jamming gears, and the adjuster pushers automatically deactivate when the calendar changes.
LM Perpetual turns the traditional perpetual calendar system on its head by using a "mechanical processor" instead of the conventional space-consuming grand levier (big lever) system architecture. The mechanical processor utilises a default 28-day month and adds extra days as required. This means that each month always has the exact number of days required; there is no fast-forwarding or skipping redundant days. And while the leap year can only be set on traditional perpetual calendars by scrolling through up to 47 months, LM Perpetual has a dedicated quickset pusher to adjust the year.
Using an innovative system developed especially for Legacy Machine Perpetual, the subdials appear to "float" above the movement with no visible attachments. The skeletonised subdials rest on hidden studs, which is technically impossible with traditional perpetual calendar mechanisms because they would block the movement of the grand levier.
Legacy Machine Perpetual is available in three limited editions of 25 pieces each in platinum 950 (blue face), 18k red gold (grey face) and 18k white gold (purple face); and in a non-limited edition in 18k white gold with grey face.
