With winter, two things come out - soft sweaters and flaky dandruff. Where sweaters keep us warm and cosy, dandruff makes our scalp itchy.
Let's cut to the chase, shall we? If you want to effectively put an end to nasty dandruff, so they never rear their ugly heads again, we suggest you stock up on one ingredient - tea tree oil! It works, every single time.
Teat tree oil contains a compound called terpinen-4-ol that has antibacterial properties. It penetrates into the hair follicles, unclogs pores of dirt and sebum buildup, and kills the microorganisms that trigger dandruff.
It also contains antiseptic properties, which cleanse the scalp, controls excess oil production, restores pH balance and alleviates any itchiness.
Add to all that, tea tree oil mask for dandruff adds shine, bounce and volume to the locks. All this, while promoting scalp condition enough to stimulate hair growth.
Now that you know what exactly tea tree oil can do. Don't go rushing to douse your mane with the oil. Alone, the oil can be very concentrated, so you'll need to dilute it with other carrier oils to balance it out.
To save you the trouble, here 5 DIY tea tree oil hair masks, which show the result!
Tea Tree Oil Spray
- Take a spray bottle, add 1 cup of distilled water.
- Add five drops of tea tree and lavender oils.
- Put the lid on and give the bottle a good shake.
- Spritz thoroughly all over your scalp, and let it get soaked naturally.
- Do it once every day.
Coconut Oil + Tea Tree Oil
- Take a pan, set it in low flame.
- Heat half a cup of coconut oil with 1 tablespoon of tea tree oil.
- Let it simmer for a minute or two, and then turn off the heat.
- Massage it to the scalp, focusing on area with dry patches.
- Let it sit for 30 minutes.
- Rinse, shampoo and condition as usual.
Apple Cider Vinegar + Tea Tree Oil
- Shampoo and condition your hair as usual.
- Take a cup, add 1/4th cup of apple cider vinegar and 5 drops of tea tree oil.
- Stir it well.
- Give your hair the last rinse with the solution.
- Massage for 5 minutes and then, rinse it out with cold water.
- Repeat twice a week for complete relief from dandruff.
Jojoba Oil + Tea Tree Oil
- Take 2 tablespoons of jojoba oil and add in 5 drops of tea tree oil.
- Massage it to your scalp.
- Keep rubbing your scalp in a circular motion, until the oil penetrates well.
- Let it sit for 30 to 40 minutes.
- Rinse it off with a mild shampoo.
Aloe Vera Gel + Tea Tree Oil
- Take 3 tablespoons of freshly extracted aloe vera gel in a bowl.
- Add 20 drops of tea tree oil.
- Using a fork, mix it well.
- Apply it to the scalp, and let it stay for 30 minutes.
- Shampoo and condition as usual.

(Last week: 8-8)
If the Saints forfeited next week's game, I literally would feel no different about them than I do right now. This year's team is a disgraceful waste of talent. They have won a few and looked good in the process, getting everyone's hopes up, but then wet the bed when it counts. It didn't count more than it did today, and they couldn't have played worse than they did.
Five straight losses in the Superdome hasn't happened since 1980, and it's bizarre that such a streak happened after such a legendary home-win stretch. That doesn't flip so dramatically without a major core crisis. Something is wrong.
But I'm all out of caring for this season. The only reason I pick the Saints to win one more is because it's an away game against the Bucs and there's nothing to play for. It's the only kind of game these guys know how to win anymore.
At least the Ragin' Cajuns haven't forgotten how to win in the Superdome.

Irish Connections
Immigration and the politics of belonging
Bryan Fanning
Let me tell you about a conversation I had in Israel with a prominent political personality who was defending the (in my opinion disastrous) non-separation of religion and the state in Israel. What he said I am not sure of the exact words anymore ran something like this: You will understand that, as a Socialist, I, of course, do not believe in God; I believe in the Jewish people. I found this a shocking statement and, being too shocked, I did not reply at the time. But I could have answered: the greatness of this people was once it believed in God, and believed in Him in such a way that its trust and love towards Him was greater than its fear. And now this people believes only in itself? What good came come of that? Well, in this sense I do not love the Jews, nor do I believe in them; I merely belong to them as a matter of course, beyond dispute or argument.1
It is something of a cliché to describe the past as a foreign country. To some extent everyone can be a foreigner in their country of origin, citizenship or domicile. The nation states that emerged in the West were somewhat like the retail giants which have homogenized high streets and squeezed out many idiosyncratic small shops. Like other nation states the Republic of Ireland was preceded by the emergence of mass ideas of identity and belonging. These were sustained by mass literacy and education. It became possible to conceive of an identity that was shared with someone living on the other side of the country. People that would never meet came to define their Irishness in the same way. At the same time, they could label those others they actually lived alongside as not really Irish. Human beings in all their diversity can become subordinated to dominant idealised formulations of national citizenship, of religious denomination, of ethnocentric tribe or of rule-bound social movement. They may be judged and found wanting by the Platonic ideals of real nationalism, real religion and real cultural authenticity. Ideals of belonging encroach like the shadows in Platos cave on the flesh and blood world of day-to-day existence. Such ideals may well shelter some within the cave but also insist that others are not really British, not really Irish, not really a feminist or not a true believer in a particular religion. Identity imposes orthodoxies enslaved to ideals of belonging.
Phillip Larkins famous line about parents They fuck you up, your mum and dad can hold for fatherlands and motherlands. The Irish nation state was forged out of violence. We may, Patrick Pearse wrote in The Coming Revolution, make mistakes and shoot the wrong people; but bloodshed is a cleaning and a sanctifying thing, and a nation which regards it as the final horror has lost its manhood. During the late 1970s, intellectual nationalists of different shades of green interrogated what Richard Kearney influentially described (with no grasp of social science) as the Irish Mind: an atavistic collective unconscious depicted in Jungian terms as somehow intrinsically authentic and distinctive.2 Identity so understood is strong stuff, if not quite monolithic; a family quarrel with no place for outsiders, intellectual or otherwise, and no room for disloyalty or dissent. Thirty years later, in the belligerent post-9/11 world of homeland security, wars of terror and wars on terror, the relationship between identity and intolerance has become everyones urgent business. The result of this so-called clash of civilisations has been to classify and incarcerate people within rigid conceptual boxes, as recently noted by Amartya Sen in Identity and Violence: The Illusion of Destiny.3
This ethnocentrism, the tendency to look at the world primarily from the perspective of ones own tribe, is what we have to confront, along racism or sectarianism. The writers who would engage with the flaws of their own nation or ethnic group be it Orhan Pamuk today or Sean OFaolain in the 1940s might find themselves censored or censured at home then readmitted, like James Joyce posthumously, after outside recognition as iconic proof of the greatness of the people from which he sprung. A willingness to engage with the capacity of ones own tribe to exclude or discriminate is crucial to addressing problems such as racism and discrimination. All peoples, all nations and all societies whatever their own histories of being oppressed are capable of oppressing those they define as others. It is not possible to paper over the cracks by saying that your own peoples history of oppression means they cannot oppress others. Claims of mutual solidarity between different post-colonial societies with a history of oppression play well as ideological politics but when tested say, by the presence of migrants reveal the racism and discrimination of ones own society.
The Republic of Ireland as a nation state can be seen to have many attributes in common with those of other nation states. Dominant ideas of social membership emerged at a cost to minorities. Those perceived as deviant from the norms of the dominant imagined community and from the constitution and laws that institutionalised these were required to choose between assimilation (the surrender of visible difference) or rejection. To look at the social history of the Republic of Ireland from this perspective is to challenge comfortable orthodoxies. A focus on the Republics specific history of excluding minorities might well be labelled as revisionist. Accounts, for instance, of the murders of Protestant and Traveller civilians in West Cork by IRA fighters during the War of Independence and Civil War pose considerable challenges to romantic myths.4 Studies of the experiences of Jewish refugees before, during and after the Holocaust, as distinct from the invented experiences of Joyces imaginary Irish Jew, demonstrate that Ireland was by no means exempt from the anti-Semitism common in other European nations. These studies suggest that ethnic nationalism, anti-colonialist or otherwise, can be at odds with anti-racist aspirations or, at the very least, will have a hard time reconciling a real Irish society in all its diversity with an imagined Ireland rooted in the past and the legacy of real sectarianism.
Joyces Ulysses contains a definition of a nation as the same people living in the same place. The reality is that nation states have tended to subordinate difference to national ideals of homogeneity. Small minorities might have found themselves written out of history, swallowed up in the nation-building of modernity. It is important to understand the mechanics of such exclusions in coming to terms with the challenges of integrating new immigrants. In 1904 Fr Creagh urged a boycott against the Limerick Jewish community. Creagh combined the then-prevalent secular European anti-Semitism, which depicted Jews as enemies of nation states, with religious anti-Semitism. He portrayed the Jews as oppressors of the Irish people. Under Creaghs Catholic nationalist formula, anti-Semitism was represented as contributing to the emancipation of the Irish. He cast the Jews as oppressors of the Irish worse than Cromwell. In post-independence Ireland Jews became officially defined as a threat to the state before, during and after the Holocaust. For instance, a Department of Justice memorandum, dated 28 February 1953, noted a policy of official anti-Semitism: In the administration of the alien laws it has always been recognised in the Departments of Justice, Industry and Commerce and External Affairs that the question of the admission of aliens of Jewish blood presents a special problem and the alien laws have been administered less liberally in their case.5
A key plank of racist politics is the proposition that vulnerable minorities somehow oppress the dominant group. Anti-Semitism within Irish nationalism drew on the language of anti-colonialism. Irish anti-colonialism no less than imperialism can play host to nativism, ethnocentricism and racism. Overt racism is often piously despised within the political mainstream yet the old sour wine has been poured into the new bottles, labelled West versus the rest, Fortress Europe, allowing Irish distinctions between nationals and non-nationals rooted in stereotypes of despised asylum-seeker mothers and their non-Irish Irish-born children. The concern remains that anxieties about social change become exploited by populist politics which mobilise racism and ethnocentricism to offer simple answers to complex questions.
Ethnocentricism has acquired a new credibility in the wake of 9/11. Multiculturalism has been attacked from the left and right. Public intellectuals such as David Goodhart, editor of Prospect, tell us that ethnic nepotism is natural and that welfare solidarities do not work in diverse societies. Multiculturalism has to some extent been supplanted by a new muscular liberalism that proposes that the big Western tribe must (again) become intolerant of the rest. An American advocate of this muscular liberalism, the philosopher Richard Rorty, in 1994 described his position as one of anti-anti-ethnocentrism.6 It scorned efforts by liberals to extend pluralism to include those who do not share their beliefs. Rorty argued that Western liberals should accept the fact that we have to start from where we are, and this means that there are lots of views which we cannot take seriously.7 He argued that Western liberals get themselves into a bind because their beliefs pull them in two incompatible directions. On one hand they possess no doubts about human equality. On the other, they become aware that most of the world does not share their values. They cannot, as he puts it, stick up for their beliefs without getting in a muddle or without choosing to be ethnocentric.8 An early definition of ethnocentricism offered by Theodor Adorno defined it as a tendency to regard ones own group as normal and others, by comparison, as strange and inferior.9 It is often suggested that ethnocentricism is natural because human societies tend to be suspicious of outsiders.10 However, the stereotypes that sustain ethnocentricism are often implausible, whether they are applied by nationalists to the presumed enemies of nations or by liberals to presumed enemies of freedom.
Isaiah Berlin has offered a liberal understanding of pluralism that contrasts with Rortys ethnocentric solidarity. Berlin argued that it is important to acknowledge the existence of a plurality of human ideals and values. He considered that their pursuit is part of what it means to be human. Multiple, but finite, values are seen to be objective, part of the essence of humanity rather than arbitrary creations of mankinds subjective fancies. Berlin was no relativist. He argued that we may well find a particular way of life intolerable but we must never forget to recognise it as a human pursuit:
If I am a man or a woman with sufficient imagination (and this I do need), I can enter into a value-system which is not my own, but which is nevertheless something I can conceive of men pursuing while remaining human, while remaining creatures with whom I can communicate, with whom I have common values for all human beings have common values or they cease to be human, and also some different values else they cease to differ, as in fact they do.11
The essence of Berlins pluralism was not a willingness to surrender ones own values but an unwillingness ever to forget that other values are, for those who hold them, objective expressions of their humanity.12 Solidarity is inconceivable without empathy. Empathy sometimes amounts to understanding some connection between ones own fate and those of others or, at least, perceiving others from some recognisable vantage point. Here art can have a powerful role. This article was prompted by a film installation by Jackie Doyle which was commissioned by the Belfast Film festival in 2005. Connections consisted of a bank of television screens typical of an airport departure lounge. Information on flight destinations gave way to short overlapping films where forced migrants told stories of torture, persecution and consequent trauma. The central device of Doyles installation was simple. Actors with Northern Irish accents narrated the testimonies of forced migrants from other countries and visa versa. Foreknowledge of the punch-line human stories of oppression and exclusion can be interchangeable in no way lessened the visceral impact of the piece. At the time of writing 41 asylum seekers and failed asylum seekers from Afghanistan had just ended a hunger strike in St. Patricks Cathedral in Dublin. Their protest was timed to coincide with the 20th anniversary of the IRA hunger strikes in the North. It too could be seen as a conscious effort to create an Irish connection; to penetrate the Irish Mind, so to speak. However, making such connections is never easy for racialised groups.
This, for me, was Jackie Doyles point and what is missed by Isaiah Berlins liberal humanist bonhomie. The strikers problem, one shared with the real forced migrants whose stories were presented by Doyle, is that recognition of their humanity is mediated by nation state politics of belonging. For Hannah Arendt the big practical problem with human rights was the absence of a right to rights.13 Arendt understood that empirically (what is, rather than what ought, to be) rights spring from membership of a nation state rather than from the human condition. She argued that those exempted from citizenship, in one way or another, found no protection in the abstract nakedness of being human. As she put it, drawing on Edmund Burke in The Origins of Totalitarianism: The survivors of the extermination camps, the inmates of concentration and interment camps, and even the comparatively happy stateless people could see without Burkes arguments that the abstract nakedness of being nothing but human was their greater danger.14 Human rights depend, as such, upon what states (and their citizens) will or will not do about them.
The Republic of Ireland must begin the business of integrating or otherwise coming to terms with the one in 10 living in Irish society who were not born there. It must do so in the knowledge that an unwillingness or inability to integrate immigrants sets up big problems for the future. It must do so in the knowledge that the efforts of other countries have often been flawed. It must do so knowing that integration cannot be bought off the shelf, but must be grounded in local effort. Engagement with the local rules of belonging is required. Existing national ideas of belonging are a necessary starting place but so too is recognition of how past and present rules of Irishness have failed indigenous minorities.
To date, the integration of immigrants has been for the most part restricted to the economy. The grocers republic, to borrow loosely from Yeats, now exists within a globalised economy that brings large numbers of workers with scant thought about where they will fit within Irish society. Everything we know about human migration leads us to expect that many will be here for good. Everything we know about the experiences of other immigrant societies tells us that we have a vested interest in their success. To paraphrase John Rawls, our fates are intertwined; the fates of their children and our children even more so. For this reason alone ethnic nepotism excluding emigrants from social rights and entitlements makes little practical sense. However, the experiences of other countries tell us that even when rights are extended to immigrants all sorts of dangerous institutional barriers can persist. These have everything to do with culture and identity. Difference is all too often portrayed as deviance from dominant cultural norms and this in turn gives license to discrimination.
In Ireland, as elsewhere, a reckoning with dominant ideas of belonging cannot be avoided. Engagement with these seems to be crucial if projects for securing the integration of immigrants are to have any political legitimacy. Yet in the Republic of Ireland, no less than in the United Kingdom (where there has been a Commission on the Future of Multi-Ethnic Britain), the precise national identity with which immigrants are required to engage is somewhat unclear. In France, a republican ideal of equal citizenship erroneously represents the state as culturally neutral. It has become all too clear that this republicanism is ethnocentric and that its project has been the assimilation rather than the integration of immigrants. In the Irish case the big question is whether republican notions of equal citizenship can transcend an ethnic nationalist past. As has been noted, Martin McGuiness has spoken of the need to persuade:
our people of the unionist tradition that they are a cherished part of the Irish nation who will not have to give up anything they cherish in what will be a multicultural, multiracial, multilingual secular society.15
The problem here is that one persons inclusionary republicanism is another persons ethnocentric monoculturalism. For the Irish there is more to the business of integrating immigrants than convincing them to get in touch with their inner Irishman or Irishwoman; and that you can have any colour of multiculturalism so long as its green.

text: Ok my desire is now losing vibration pretty much every single day. Tried lots of different ways to get it back, and to it's credit lol it usually turns up one way or another. Well I think I've isolated the problem to a manufacturing fault, at least on my phone - no idea if it's across the board or I'm just lucky When the vibration disappears try giving the back of the phone a slight tap (no I don't mean against the side of a desk/table), just with a couple of fingers. I've done this as soon as I've realised the vibration has gone and it's immediately come back every time (3 times over 3/4 days). It would seem in my case this is a handset fault so as soon as I can live without it for a fortnight I'll get it sent back. Oh and it's worth noting I'm very careful with my phone and treat it with the respect it deserves, apart from the occasional clout now I know that's what it needs lol.


text: I've been reading this forum on and off for awhile and finally joined. There is a lot of great information here, and alot of very friendly folks. I'm in Colorado Springs, CO. I've been smoking on a Brinkmann Gourmet Charcoal Smoker that my work gave me as an anniversary gift a couple years ago, and man, what a pita. You spend more time tending to the temperature than anything. A couple months ago I picked up a Members Mark Professional Stainless Steel Propane Smoker on a too good too pass up deal, it is made by Grand Hall, it is insulated and big, too big if you ask my wife. It has a tendency to run hot after everything heats up, so I've made quite a few mods to it. So far I've reworked the burner to put out less flame, modified the chip drawers as almost 1/4 of them weren't even over the flame, I've also made some covers for them, previously the chips/chunks would just ignite and burn out quickly, now I get a decent amount of good smoke time from them. My latest mod is I installed a needle valve in the propane line, and man, talk about temperature control, so much nicer to control the temp, and now I can get it nice and low. I've been reading up on the sand vs water lately and I may try that just for consistency sake. I was going to install some plumbing so I didn't have open the door to refill my water pan, but I think I'll fill it with sand, and still put a water pan under the meat so I can use the drippings if need be, and since the water pan will be farther from the flame, I shouldn't need to refill it but every 3-4 hours, if at all. I've also been eyeing the AMNPS too, I think that would definately come in handy for overnight smokes, not to mention cold smoking, I do love me some smoked cheese. I enjoy cooking, inside or outside, and really enjoy having other folks enjoy the fruits of my labor. I have 3 small kids, and the last time they had my ribs, they all 3 just loved them, which is a rare thing, so hopefully they will go on the menu regularly now. Happy smoking all, and see you on the boards. Robert (aka Bluto)

Zero tolerance
In the criminal law system, you're innocent until proven guilty.
If police claim you have illegal drugs, they must test the items in a certified laboratory before you can be found guilty.
In all criminal offenses, there must be just cause to make an arrest. Then you are entitled to a trial.
Prison sentences are not given out by a judge until you're proven guilty.
Children in school don't have such rights. They can be tarnished with a "record" for innocent acts.
Children learn in history classes that Americans have certain right and due process, then are shown they shouldn't believe what they're taught.
That's because most schools have "zero tolerance" policies in which students can be suspended or expelled for having in their possession anything that resembles a weapon.
Theoretically it sounds like a safe idea. In practicality, it's criminalizing good kids.
• In Maryland, a 7-year-old boy was suspended from Park Elementary School in Brooklyn Park. The boy was eating a pastry during snack time and trying to shape it into a mountain. The teacher said it looked like a gun and took him to the principal's office. The boy's parents were called, and he was suspended for two days.
• In New Kensington, a 7-year-old boy was suspended after telling a teacher Tuesday that he accidentally brought a toy gun to school. The boy left his regular book bag at a friend's house, so she packed him another one, not realizing the toy was in it. The boy gave it to a teacher because he knew it was against the rules. and then was suspended.
• A student in Maine has been suspended for 10 days after he brought a bright yellow water gun to school, in yet another case of zero tolerance insanity. The superintendent commented that the toy "certainly looks innocent enough on one hand, but can be used in a disruptive way and lead, perhaps, to students bringing other water pistols that may not look so benign."
But it was the zero tolerance policy which got the boy suspended, not rowdiness.
Locally, suspensions have occurred at schools for bringing "replicas of weapons." Because of privacy laws, we have no idea what these "replicas" are. If they were guns, knives, or other weapons that reasonably resembled real ones, and not blue, clear plastic Fisher-Price toys, then the suspensions are understandable.
Sandwiches in the shape of guns? Yellow, plastic water pistols? A student accidentally bringing a gun to school and immediately turning it in to his teacher?
These shouldn't warrant suspensions.
Understandably, weapons have no place in schools. For real weapons, and even toys that resemble real weapons, there must be no tolerance.
But on the other hand, students must still be allowed to be children. Kids do play with toys that don't resemble real guns, including water pistols and Styrofoam dart guns.
These are not weapons.
Zero tolerance policies must be revised so that good students aren't punished and that stupid suspensions don't happen.

If any medical questions, contact Chief of WAKO Medical Committee, Mr. Reinhard Guschlbauer at firstname.lastname@example.com (not Espen Lund) Doping tests will be carried out also in Porto, so please help us make our sport clean, which we are about to do. If any questions concerning anti-doping, please contact Mr. Roy Baker at firstname.lastname@example.com. Otherwise update yourself of the latest "prohibited list". Look at http://www.wada-ama.org/en/prohibitedlist.ch2. As always we need good referees and judges. Please help us by sending your best and most experienced referees known to WAKO. Together we will educate the best team ever. We are looking forward seeing you and all your great sportsmen ready and fit for fight.

Holden's flagship V8 Supercar operation says Jamie Whincup and Craig Lowndes' defection from Ford may blunt the reigning champions' advantage for 2010.
Walkinshaw Racing boss Craig Wilson is confident his new-look four-car operation - which includes the Holden Racing Team and a beefed-up Bundaberg Red Racing - can scuttle Whincup's bid for a third successive title when the season starts next month.
Wilson believes the move of Team Vodafone duo Whincup and Lowndes to Holden may play into the hands of his championship-chasing drivers Garth Tander and Will Davison - a classic case of keeping your friends close and your enemies closer.
"Less surprises - I think some of the advantages they have from the Fords they'll lose, and we'll certainly have parity between the cars, it'll be on equal footing. It'll be interesting to see how that goes," Wilson told AAP
"There's not (more pressure for Walkinshaw Racing). It was probably more pressure with them being in Ford because it's probably more important for us to beat Ford in the competition we've got.
"It'll still be pressure because we want to win, and they're a good team, they're there (with Holden), they've got good drivers.
"We would like to be having our four cars every meeting in the top 10 and occupying two of the three podium positions in pretty much every race - that's our aim.
While last year's championship runner-up Davison and third-placed Tander are expected again to challenge for the title with HRT, Wilson has also set the bar high for new signing Fabian Coulthard.
The 27-year-old New Zealander has worked miracles with Ford battlers Paul Cruickshank Racing over the past two seasons, even grabbing a podium finish in Tasmania in 2009.
But Wilson has challenged Coulthard to produce regularly now he has joined an expanded two-car Bundaberg Red Racing team alongside promising youngster Andrew Thompson.
He suggested Coulthard may even be able to produce better early qualifying pace than Davison, who also defected from Ford to Holden in 2009 but produced a stunning debut season to become Holden's leading driver for the year.
"There's no question Fabian should be in a position to get podiums this year - certainly top five, top six consistently," Wilson said.
"The raw speed is there but mechanical issues let him down in a few races.
"Fabian might even be a little bit quicker than Will terms of pace in qualifying, just the way he approaches his racing.
Coulthard is quite comfortable with the high expectations.
"I've now got the tools and the team to aid me to win races, and I believe I'm capable of doing so," he said.
"I believe I can rise to the occasion, and what pressure people put on me is only going to make me stronger."

The Chicago Bears are one of the oldest franchises in the National Football League. During their incredibly long history, they have had a lot of great players. Many of those players have made some big plays too for the team over the years.
One of the most exciting plays in football is a kickoff or punt return for a touchdown. This usually means that a player will make dazzling moves or break tackles as he runs from one end of the field to the other. Here is a look at the kickoff and punt returns for touchdowns of the Chicago Bears.
Chicago Bears Punt Returns For Touchdowns Through The 2009 Season:
-16 different players have returned punts for touchdowns in Bears history.
-There have been 31 punt returns for touchdown by the Bears over the years.
-The player who has returned the most punts for touchdowns in Bears history is Devin Hester with seven.
-The first time a punt was returned for a touchdown by a Bears player was in 1940 and the player who did it was Ray McLean.
-George McAfee and Gale Sayers, both members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, each returned punts for touchdowns twice for the Bears.
-Other notable players who have returned punts for touchdowns for the Bears include R.W. McQuarters, Gale Sayers, George McAfee, Jeff Graham, and Glyn Milburn.
Chicago Bears Kickoff Returns For Touchdowns Through The 2009 Season:
-27 different Bears players have returned kickoffs for touchdowns.
-Kickoffs have been returned for touchdowns 43 times by members of the Chicago Bears.
-No player has returned more kickoffs for touchdowns than Gale Sayers with six. Devin Hester is close though with four.
-The first player to return a kickoff for a touchdown for the team was Ray Nolting in 1940.
-Two members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame have returned kickoffs for touchdowns for the Bears, Gale Sayers and George McAfee.
-Other notable names that have returned kickoffs for touchdowns for the Bears include Dennis Gentry, Glyn Milburn, Brian Baschnagel, Willie Galimore, Willie Gault, and Thomas Sanders.

"Operation Cancelled - short notice"
About: Aberdeen Royal Infirmary / General Surgery Aberdeen Royal Infirmary General Surgery AB25 2ZN Golden Jubilee National Hospital / General Surgery Golden Jubilee National Hospital General Surgery G81 4HX
Posted by Nektaria (as ),
I was due to have my gall-bladder removed on the Monday at the Golden Jubilee Hospital in Glasgow. On the Saturday at 3.00 pm I received a telephone call from a Senior Nurse from the ward to inform me that unfortunately due to a swab being omitted from my pre-op assessment in Aberdeen, so they would have to cancel my appointment. I asked if the swab could be taken in Glasgow prior to the operation but was told it would not be possible due to the timings of the results of the swab.
On the Monday, I went to ARI, the Consultant's secretary, rang the Central Waiting Times Team and went to the pre-op Assessment Ward to get the necessary swab taken. This was done the next day. I don't know whose mistake it was, but I don't think I should be penalised for the error.
I had put myself forward to have the operation out of Aberdeen (after discussion with the Consultant's secretary) as I was told it is not always possible to have the operation within the waiting times guidelines, even though the letter you receive states within 12 weeks.
I rang the secretary in mid April to find out where I was on the waiting list and she was a little surprised that I had not received any notification from the Central Waiting Times Team. Within the hour I received a phone call to say that I had a date for the operation in May.
As this appointment was cancelled through no fault of my own, today I rang the Golden Jubilee Hospital as Central Waiting Times Team had given me a date in early June. I find this unacceptable and have rang the Central Waiting Times Team as the Waiting Times Team in Glasgow were contacting Aberdeen to try to get me an earlier appointment. No one from the Central Waiting Times Team rang me back. I have just rang them to ask if they could find another appointment, informing them that they had forgotten initially in March.
Response from Linda Oldroyd, Nurse Consultant, Person Centred Care, NHS Grampian about a year and a half ago
Dear Nektaria
Thank you for taking the time to post your feedback. I am very sorry that your original operation was cancelled, especially as you say, you had agreed to have it out with Aberdeen. It certainly seems that an error or omission occurred in that you did not have the appropriate swab done in a timely manner prior to travelling down to the Golden Jubilee. I know you feel that you are being penalised when the delay was not your fault but I am sure everyone is doing all they can to fit you in on the earliest possible date.
I can only answer for NHS Grampian but if you would like to contact me with your details I can try to find out more about why the swab was missed so that we can try to make sure this does not happen again. No one wants to waste patients' time or staff time with this sort of mix up.
I can be contacted by telephone on 01343 567900 or by email at email@example.com
Kind regards and I hope your operation goes smoothly.

ROME, Oct. 14 (UPI) -- Italian Prime Minister Enrico Letta announced a "safe sea" plan Monday aimed at reducing the number of migrants who die in attempts to reach the Italian coast.
The plan hopes to utilize both the Italian military and humanitarian groups, ANSA reported.
Letta released the plan in reaction to the more than 500 migrants feared dead in two boat accidents this month alone.
Navy spokesman Alessandro Busonero said three vessels have been assigned to patrol the Mediterranean. A helicopter and its pilot as well as a regiment of soldiers are aboard the ships.
Italian Defense Minister Mario Mauro said the objective was to "boost three-fold our presence with men and means in the southern area of the Mediterranean for a military-humanitarian mission with the aim of containing the current crisis."
Mauro said the cost of the program had not been determined.
"The problem is not how much it costs," he added. "It is necessary to do it to confront the ongoing humanitarian emergency."
While the government organized the patrols on its own, Letta said he would call on the European Union to provide more assistance during an EU summit later this month.

Re: xlC complier for DB28.1
For deploying stored procedures as suggested by arcillar, have a look at a FAQ link posted in the 'Useful DB2 Stuff' thread at the top of the forum
Hope this helps, Sridharan

DB2 v8.1 requires a supported C compiler be installed where the SQL procedures will be built. Note that a compiler is not needed for deploying stored procedures from one database to another. On the AIX platform you'll need either IBM Visual Age C++ 5.0 or IBM C for AIX Version 5.0.Visit the new-look IDUG Website , register to gain access to the excellent content.

What you can expect to see when diving in Galapagos
Because the Galapagos Islands are influenced by deep currents and are a part of a marine reserve, you are guaranteed to see an abundance of marine life.
The animals that live here have not evolved with a sense of fear for humans, so when you are in the water with them, you are in their territory but they do not mind at all as long as you are respectful. In fact, you will find that most of the marine life in these waters is surprisingly friendly and curious.

There's been a ton of hubbub in the past year or so about achieving Inbox Zero, which is apparently some sort of Nirvana for the Millenials, as they're called. Well, I've got news for you: it's not going to happen. There's no app that will make Inbox Zero work for you because, as a concept, Inbox Zero is idiotic — no intended offence, of course. The problem isn't that people get too much email. The problem is that our email spends too much time trying to get our attention.
A ton of people, though, have understandably misunderstood this. Instead of trying to make meaningful differences in the way we check, read, and send email, most apps are trying to make differences in the way we categorize it. That's wrong. The Delete button is my favourite, and if you think there's any other way to truly get rid of everything in your inbox, you're cheating.
So I'm excited to say this: myMail is the email app that actually solves the problem. Read on for more about what this app does so well.
Like the article? You should subscribe and follow us on twitter.
All Your Accounts. One Inbox. Fewer Notifications.
That's the simplest recipe to describe what myMail does for people. It groups just about any email you can think of (more on that later) into one app and one inbox, allowing you to peruse everything without ever having to open a different app. It's not a unified inbox, but I can't decide if I prefer that approach or not. It's what I'd call a moot point, at least for me (you'll likely know whether or not that bothers you).
The app combines this with a focus on fewer notifications to create a dual-pronged attack to reduce the amount of notifications — and thus, the amount of time you spend looking at your phone or iPad. It automatically sets a customizable snooze time, and if you'd like to turn off notifications for promotional emails (marketing) or social media email (because do you really need to know the second somebody likes the picture you took of your breakfast?), it's easy to do that too. In that sense, the notification settings are granular. You can ignore them, but then you'd be missing out on the benefits of using them. And I think the benefit is huge.
I've spent a lot of time writing about Inbox Zero over the past year. For geeks, I think it's something of a magical fantasy because it represents everything so many of us love about minimalism. For the rest of us, I think it promises some sort of Zen peace — that might be marketing, but it doesn't matter because so many of us buy into it.
The thing is, email is always going to keep coming, whether we want it to or not. And just because email is ubiquitous doesn't mean it's inherently bad; our inability to manage it is the problem. While myMail's notifications don't automatically delete promotional content or social emails, they help by eliminating that distraction. The emails will still be there, but the phone or tablet won't be nagging you to check them and do something about them — after all, that's half the battle. There's a reason they're called "push" notifications.
Setting Up Accounts
myMail works straight out of the box with the most popular email providers available: Gmail, Yahoo!, AOL, Outlook, and iCloud. The service also claims to work with nearly every IMAP/POP3 service, and while I obviously can't fully test those claims, I can test them a little.
Setting up accounts is a piece of cake, but it's almost too easy. For example, setting up Gmail was just like how it would be in any other Google app. All I had to do was log in. But I don't use my Gmail account as much as I used to, having switched to Fastmail, so I logged into my Fastmail account first thing and tried to get things set up. You'll notice that Fastmail is not on the list of supported accounts, but it's a very popular IMAP service and I expected some form of support.
myMail does allow for some support, but it doesn't have any settings to control the details. This lack of settings is what makes adding other accounts to the service so lovely, but it's also what makes setting up anything else a pain. I need very specific IMAP access codes to make Fastmail work as flawlessly as it should. While Mail.app provides those, myMail (and many other third-party apps) do not. The end result is that my email arrives and I can check it, and myMail will sync what I delete within its app on various devices, but none of these actions are carried over to the Fastmail server. In other words, while an email may appear deleted on my phone or iPad (or both), it's not actually deleted from my inbox.
So be warned: if you use a popular email service, your support is guaranteed and won't be an issue. If you're like me and use a different email — for your business or even just as an additional layer of security — then I wouldn't expect the same support, yet. I really hope this is fixed soon, because the rest of the app is beautiful.
Focusing On Your Mail
The design is really great. We've seen some good email designs over the past year, but myMail is easily one of the most attractive. I love the way avatars are incorporated into the app — very similarly to the way they're incorporated into Messages on the iPad — with a picture or logo should the app recognize the contact information and the first letter of the first name of the contact otherwise. It's colourful and highly visual.
I also love the iconography. It's not every day that I use an app that has so much craft and care put into each button. These are a joy to look at, and a joy to use.
Finally, the typography is everything it's cracked up to me. When the email parses correctly (which it does about 90% of the time), this looks as good as the typography in Mail.app. In other words, the typography in myMail is almost pixel-perfect and laser-focused. I can't complain.
Looking at the app makes everything visually obvious. I love the little red flag to mark Flagged mail. The avatars really appeal to my ADHD mind. The mini-menu that appears over email when you swipe looks amazing, but I have to admit that I wish the slide-out inboxes and accounts were on a plain white background instead of translucent against a cheesy picture.
The red and white colour choices are really pleasant. I do wish that there was a built-in night mode that automatically changed colours; I could see red and midnight black going really well together. But that's me nitpicking. Overall, this is exactly the sort of app I think many of us were hoping Apple was going to ship with iOS 7. Swiping over a message for more information is great.
Final Thoughts
One thing I haven't mentioned is that myMail is completely native to iOS despite its Android counterpart. That means that it's a very fast app, and although it compresses your email while you're on cellular, you won't notice the difference. It's also got an image preview, and it screams on faster devices like the new iPads (or, presumably, the 5s).
I tell you that so you know that you're not really sacrificing anything if you switch from Mail.app. Unlike most third-party email apps, I don't feel like you're missing out on any important features. And from a design perspective, it outclasses Mail.app — for the most part. That being said, I do wish it had better support for all IMAP and POP3 accounts. I'm a little disappointed I can't use myMail all the time myself, as I think those that can are in for a treat.

No complaints here at all about this hotel:
Staff - Everyone was very nice and helpful. They have a driver on site for well priced airport pick ups/drop offs, tours, and getting around. They can arrange everything and they can do it price conscientiously.
Location - Great base for exploring the city center of Amman. Across from the Roman Theater, right in the middle of city center. 12-15 minute walk to Rainbow St.
Restaurant/Bar - They serve local food and western food (although the pizza wasn't great, it was still a nice treat after feasting on kebabs and hummus for a week)
Rooms - The only thing keeping this place from a 5 star. Not bad, but more of a hostel than a hotel. Our room had two single beds and a bunk bed and was a bit funky. But, for the price, you cannot complain. That said, the shower head would not stay on and their was no toilet pressure so we had to flush 5 times everytime we used it.
Overall - Good hotel for the budget. Amman surprised me and this hotel was part of us being able to explore the city the way we did.

Values: Why To Hire and Why To Fire
The values of an organization get a bad rap.

Weekly Update for Monday, January 15, 2006
Making Continuing Education More Affordable
Our region's economy depends on a highly-skilled workforce to stay competitive, and with more and more local companies requiring advanced training, we must be able to adapt. That's why I've introduced bipartisan legislation to give individuals and businesses new tax incentives to invest in continuing education and skills training opportunities. My bill would create portable asset accounts called Lifelong Learning Accounts (LiLAs), similar to 401(k)s, that workers could use to pay for continuing education and training. Workers would pay into LiLAs and employers would contribute matching funds. Both the employer and employee would receive a tax benefit for the money they contribute, up to a defined limit. Individuals could use the funds at any time, without tax consequences and with no expiration date, for education, training, and other expenses related to any effort to upgrade their skills. My plan, which would start with a demonstration project in 10 states with up to 200,000 participants, would offer a unique opportunity to save for continuing education not offered by any other federal program. By investing in new training opportunities, we can strengthen our workforce, help working Americans gain new skills, and make learning a lifelong process.
Negotiating a Better Deal for Seniors
Currently, because of a provision included in the Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Benefit law, the federal government cannot negotiate the price of drugs offered by the program. Instead, this responsibility is left to private insurance companies with little government involvement and almost no transparency. In contrast, the Veterans Administration (VA) is able to negotiate drug prices for its patients, and, not surprisingly, achieves prices far lower than those paid by Medicare Part D enrollees. In fact, for each of the 20 drugs most commonly prescribed to seniors, the lowest Part D price is higher than the lowest VA price, and the median difference between the VA and Part D prices is a staggering 58 percent.
Our seniors need more affordable drugs and I am committed to doing all I can to get Medicare Part D on the right track by improving transparency and letting the federal government play a part in negotiating lower prices for the drugs our seniors need. Last week, in one of my first hearings on the Senate Finance Committee, we took up this issue and discussed the need for more transparency. I'll continue to confront this problem throughout the year so that we can deliver seniors a better prescription drug benefit and end the practice of drug companies and big insurance conglomerates setting drug prices behind closed doors.
Advocating Open Government
This week in the Senate, I'm continuing the push for ethics reform as we consider broad legislation passed by the House earlier this month to enact much stricter ethics standards. Last Friday, I voted in favor of an amendment sponsored by Senator Jim DeMint to strengthen the disclosure requirements for earmarksprovisions inserted into legislation that target money at specific projects. The DeMint amendment would require the full disclosure of earmarks and their sponsors in all appropriations and tax bills, as well as in conference and committee reports, where most earmarks are inserted. It would cover earmarks that go to federal entities as well as earmarks that go to private entities. According to some estimates, unless this amendment is adopted, the underlying ethics reform bill would exclude about 95 percent of earmarks from new disclosure rules. We clearly need more transparency and accountability in Congress, and as Congress continues to consider ethics reform, I'll keep pushing to improve open government, get federal spending under control, and reduce the influence of lobbyists and special interests on Capitol Hill.
Honoring Martin Luther King
On Martin Luther King Day, we celebrate a man and honor his legacy. It's an opportunity to recognize the movement he inspired and carry it forward with renewed energy, giving both his work and his words new life.
"The arc of the moral universe is long," King said, "but it bends towards justice." As a national community, we must never rest in the pursuit of justice. We must always demand that our community leaders and elected officials pursue their work with compassion and integrity. This year, as we commemorate Dr. King's bold vision and great spirit, our nation stands at a critical point along that arc. Today, too many hard-working Americans are struggling just to get by. It's time to expand opportunity for all and make sure everyone has a real shot at the American dream.
The policies we choose to support reflect our priorities as a nation. When too many Americans get squeezed from every side, it may be easiest to relent, accept the status quo, or give in to frustration. But we have a responsibility to fight for something better. We can honor King by coming together and making that promise a reality.

First Team News
City v Watford: Need to know
City will be looking to break a club record of consecutive top-flight wins on Saturday when they face newly promoted side Watford.
Goals from Aleksandar Kolarov and a delightful chip from Samir Nasri gave City a 2-0 victory against Everton at Goodison Park last time out - their ninth consecutive top-flight win, a record not matched since 1912.
But Watford will be no easy task- they're the ninth promoted side to remain unbeaten in their opening three League games but are still in search of their first league win after a draw in each.
The Hornets have been busy in the transfer window with a massive 12 new signings arriving at Vicarage Road, most noticeably Edison Capoue from Tottenham and Swiss International Valon Behrami from Hamburg on a 3-year deal.
The last time the teams met in the league was back in 2006/2007 where both fixtures ended in a draw.

Key Quotes
Manuel Pellegrini: "It is a difficult game because they have played three games in the Premier League and have drawn them all. They have a good manager and good players and the greatest mistake we can make in this moment is to think because we have won the last three games we will win the next one.
"We must play in the same way with the same concentration and intensity. The only way to do that is to think only about Watford, so I don't want to answer any questions about the other competitions.
"I told all the players that we must talk about the Champions League draw after they come back from the international break.
"We must understand that to play against Watford is the same as against Chelsea, Arsenal or Manchester United. All of them are in the Premier League and if you play with less intensity then everything can go wrong, so it is important to continue playing in the same way as we have been and not to make the same mistakes as we did last year."
Sergio Aguero: "Quique Sanchez Flores and I took part of a superb era for Atletico de Madrid, with one of the highlights being the Europa League triumph in 2010 against Roy Hodgson's Fulham.
"Quique knew how to lead the group very well," added Aguero. "He's an industrious manager who knows how to put the qualities of his players to good use.
"I was glad when I learned he was coming over to the Premier League and this Saturday I'll have a chance to catch up with him once more and greet him when we play against Watford.
"Of course, on this occasion we'll be on opposing sides but I hope it's a good match and, of course, that we are able to win it. After that, I hope Quique has a great season with Watford."
Quique Sanchez Flores: "It's very difficult to play against this kind of team [City] that has a lot of players that can make a difference.
"In this case we need to be confident and try to keep the style we've managed since the beginning of the competition. We have reason to be confident and happy because it's not easy to start in any competition at a new level.
"To stop them of course it's going to be very difficult, but I prefer to talk about the collective and not just individual players of Manchester City. They have a fantastic team and we will have to all work together in order to give ourselves a chance."
On David Silva and Sergio Aguero: "I always look back at the players that I have trained in my career, and both Aguero and Silva are at the very top.
"I will always remember the first time I saw David Silva train when I was at Valencia. He made a huge impression on me and became a very important player for us.
It is the same with Aguero when I was at Atletico. He is a very special player and a totally different striker. Sergio was key to us in helping the team to win trophies.
"I think both players can still improve. They are at a good age and at the right stage to have many more successful years ahead in their careers."

Mr Pickering, 47, saw Workington's Northside Bridge "pitch and buck" in the minutes before it collapsed into the River Derwent, sweeping PC Barker to his death.
He immediately dialled 999 and then stopped the drivers of a car and two articulated wagons who were about to drive on towards certain death.
He also shouted a warning to a bus driver to reverse away from the bridge on the far side.
News of his actions came as Gordon Brown visited parts of Cumbria hit by the torrential rain and pledged extra cash to help stricken communities.
Mr Pickering, a one-time rugby league player for Workington, insisted last night that he had done "no more than anyone else on Northside would have done."
But Mary Ann Lancaster, a volunteer at the village community centre, said: "If it hadn't been for him there would been buses and tankers going into the river. It would have been untold carnage."
She added: "It was just a miracle that no more people were involved."
Mr Pickering had set out before dawn to walk his dogs and draw out cash from an ATM at the Tesco branch across the river.
"When I came out of my house I could hear a big whooshing noise," he recalled. "Then there was a big crash. When I got to the bridge I could see part of the handrail was missing.
"A bit further on I could see what looked like a puddle, but which I suddenly realised was actually the river running by where the bridge should have been.
"There was a car coming up behind me, so I flagged down the driver and got him to stop. I was dialling 999 while he did a three-point turn to get away.
"The 999 operator thought I meant the smaller bridge upstream, but I said no, it was the main bridge. She said she was sending some police officers out.
"By now the bridge was pitching and bucking, and I could see cracks in the stonework.
"There were two articulated wagons approaching the bridge so I stopped them too."
In the gloom Mr Pickering could see a white van heading towards the southern end of the bridge. Its driver appeared to realise the severity of the situation and slewed into a position side-on so as to stop the single-decker bus and articulated lorry coming up behind him.
"I was shouting across the river: `Reverse the bus, reverse the bus!`"
PC Barker is thought to have reached that side of the bridge a few moments later, and began ushering the bus and lorry towards the Tesco loading bay.
On the other side of the river two other police officers – a WPC and PC Barker's male colleague in the traffic unit – were asking Mr Pickering to move back so they could block off the bridge.
"I could see the officer I think was PC Barker. Behind him the lights of his vehicle were flashing.
"Suddenly there was a massive bang and the second section of bridge went in. It must have set up a domino effect because the rest fell in after it. Within a few seconds all the sections across the actual river had gone."
Mr Pickering said the two police officers on his side of the bridge realised very quickly that their colleague had been swept away.
Despite this, they both carried on with the task of preventing other vehicles being driven onto the approach to the bridge.
"They both did brilliantly. The girl was unbelievable because she never left the top of that hill to the bridge.
"I could see she was upset and asked her if she was alright. She said `No, I think one of our colleagues has gone into the water".
A few minutes later another officer arrived at the scene and began to console her.
Anne Wallace, 69, whose bungalow stands 20 yards from the riverbank, said: "It's awful that the policeman died, but it could have been so much worse. At other times of the day there are scores and scores of people crossing that bridge.
"You get lots of children and their mums walking to Tesco and to the schools in Workington."
Ken Russell, 73, a retired coastguard officer who lives nearby, said the Derwent brought huge quantities of debris downstream when it was in flood.
"In my time we used to keep the lifeboat tucked away because of the danger. I wonder whether some heavy debris like trees or sleepers were being banged against the centre arch, and that that's what eventually gave way."

Daily briefs of the top news stories impacting Christians around the world.
In today's edition:
- Iranian Authorities Shut Church in Tehran
- Creflo Dollar's Daughter's 911 Call: Not the First Time It's Happened
- Lee Greenwood Offended by 'God Bless the USA' Ban
- New Research on Children of Same-Sex Parents Suggests Differences Matter
Iranian Authorities Shut Church in Tehran
Iran's Revolutionary Guard's intelligence branch last week ordered the closure of a church in the capital, Tehran, amid a government campaign to crack down on the few recognized churches offering Farsi-speaking services, Compass Direct News reports. The church in Tehran's northwestern district of Janat-Abad belongs to the Assemblies of God (AOG) Church in Iran. "Due to an increasing number of Farsi-speaking believers -- mostly MBBs [Muslim Background Believers] -- it has become a cause of concern for the authorities and they now ordered it to be shut down," said Monsour Borji, an Iranian Christian and advocacy officer for the London-based rights initiative Article 18. If no reverse decision is made, the church will close its doors immediately, and only three churches will remain in Tehran offering Farsi-language services: the AOG Central Church of Tehran, Emmanuel Protestant Church and St. Peter's Evangelical Church. Though Emmanuel Protestant Church and St. Peter's Evangelical Church were ordered to shut down Friday services in February, they have continued to offer Sunday services in Farsi.
Creflo Dollar's Daughter's 911 Call: Not the First Time It's Happened
In an audio tape of the 911 call made by megachurch pastor Creflo Dollar's 15-year-old daughter early Friday, she told the operator she was punched and choked by her father and that it wasn't the first time such an incident had happened, the Christian Post reports. "I just got an altercation with my father," the girl is heard telling the operator. "He punched me and ... [inaudible] choked me. It's not the first time it's happened. I feel threatened by being in this house." Dollar's daughter told the operator they were arguing about her going to a party on Saturday. When she started crying and told him, "I do not want to talk to you," he allegedly started to get physical. "He came, put his arm around my neck, choked me and bent me over the table," the girl said. "I threw him off of me. He threw me on the ground and punched me in my face. And this is going on for a good two, three minutes. And my mom came in the room and he stopped. And then my mom asked him what happened and he said that I hit him first, which is a lie." Creflo Dollar, who was arrested Friday then released on $5,000 bail, has admitted to "spanking" his daughter, according to the police report. He told a deputy that after she became disrespectful, he tried to restrain her. He said when she began hitting him, he reportedly wrestled her to the floor and spanked her bottom and the back of her legs. On Sunday, Dollar denied before his 30,000-member World Changers Church International punching or choking his daughter. "The truth is that a conversation with our daughter got emotional and things escalated from there," he said. "I should have never been arrested."
Lee Greenwood Offended by 'God Bless the USA' Ban
Kindergarten students at a New York City elementary school were recently banned from performing the song "God Bless the USA" at their June 20 graduation ceremony after principal Greta Hawkins said the song was not age-appropriate and could end up "offending other cultures" -- but the song's author, country music artist Lee Greenwood, said he was offended by Hawkins' decision, CBN News reports. "I wrote 'God Bless the USA' about the love I have for this country and the struggle we have gone through to remain free," Greenwood said. "Personally, denying the children of PS 90 to sing 'God Bless the USA' offends me as a Christian. My song is about hope, faith, spirit and pride. How could that be wrong on any level?" Meanwhile, the American Center for Law and Justice is working to have the song ban reversed, saying banning the song violates First Amendment free speech rights. More than 23,000 people signed a petition in favor of the song being performed, which was sent, along with a letter from the ACLJ, to the school superintendent, New York mayor Michael Bloomberg, and several other school officials.
New Research on Children of Same-Sex Parents Suggests Differences Matter
A number of studies and articles have suggested that research shows no difference in outcome between children whose parents have same-sex relationships and those raised by heterosexual parents, but two peer-reviewed articles published Sunday in the academic journal Social Science Research challenge the validity of the "no difference" assertion, the Heritage Foundation reports. One study, conducted by a Louisiana State University family scholar, concluded that data from previous research showing no difference in outcomes between children with gay parents and those with heterosexual parents was insufficient to support a strong generalizable claim either way. To make a generalizable claim, many representative, large-sample studies are needed -- such as the one supplied in the New Family Structures Study, conducted by a University of Texas-Austin sociologist. The NFSS screened more than 15,000 young adults (ages 18 to 39) nationwide to identify nearly 3,000 participants, including 175 respondents whose mothers had a romantic same-sex relationship and 73 whose fathers had. The results showed that young adults whose mothers or fathers had a same-sex relationship tended to fare worse than their peers in intact biological families. Those whose mothers had a same-sex relationship were far more likely to report being sexually victimized, to be on welfare or to be currently unemployed, and those whose fathers had one were significantly more likely to have contemplated suicide, to have a sexually transmitted infection or to have been forced to have sex against their will.

The US District Court in Detroit granted a motion to dismiss the lawsuit Ford had brought against Softbank Venture Capital's Model E Corporation.
Ford had claimed that the Model E name was too close to Model T and would confuse consumers. The car maker also said its internal program to equip employees with computers was called Model E and that it was acting to product its trademark.
The court found that Ford had failed to allege a proper basis for bringing a suit against Model E in Michigan. The court had previously denied Ford's motion for a temporary restraining order.
Model E responded to Ford's claims by saying that its business was totally unrelated to Ford's Car of the Century "Tin Lizzie". The "e" in the Model E name was intended to convey instead the e-commerce nature of Model E's business and its "vision of providing a new model experience for the automotive consumer".
However, industry analysts says there is more to Ford's objection to Model E than meets the eye. Model E plans to buy luxury vehicles from major car makers and customise them to customers' orders.
Instead of signing a traditional lease, people will "subscribe" to vehicles with an option to buy, according to the company's Web site. A flat monthly fee will cover registration, taxes, insurance, maintenance, repair and roadside assistance.
The company - which has financial backing from heavyweight Internet venture capital provider Softbank Venture Capital, and well as Yahoo and E*Trade - also plans to offer its own brand of cars.
