Sports: Arthur Ashe
Richmond, Virginia's Arthur Ashe knew the highest highs and the lowest lows in his too-brief lifetime. He won three of Grand Slam events of tennis – the U.S. Open (1968), the Australian Open (1970), and Wimbledon (1975). And yet he had serious heart problems that required multiple surgeries, during one of which he contracted HIV from a blood transfusion. He died at age 49.
Ashe showed talent early at a sport that was all but closed to African-Americans. He had to move to St. Louis to find a place where he could play tennis without bias, and went all the way across the continent to UCLA for college. In 1968 he became the only person to win both the U.S. Amateur Championship and the U.S. Open in the same year. But in 1979, Ashe suffered a heart attack and underwent a quadruple bypass. More heart problems required more surgery in 1983. A few years later he fell ill, and learned that he had HIV.
Ashe took an active role in the civil rights field, visiting South Africa and being arrested in the U.S. outside the South African embassy at an anti-apartheid rally. His leadership in all areas of his life didn't go unappreciated. The main stadium at the home of the U.S. Open is now Arthur Ashe Stadium, ESPN gives a special ESPY award named the Arthur Ashe Courage Award, and President Clinton honored his memory with the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
It's easy to share with friends.

Thanks for the reminder of a great American. In the video, he claims that he helped only himself by becoming a tennis star. Maybe that's the way he felt, but if we could all do so much good while pursuing our own dreams, what a world it would be!

Respect Your Elders -- They Keep The Roof Over Your Head
August 11, 2010
This week marks the start of Japan's Obon holiday in which families take time off to pay respect to their ancestors, a tradition conveying the importance Japanese families attach to their deceased relatives. But some have been clinging on to their ancestors' memories and pensions rather too assiduously, says the Financial Times.
In one case, the corpse of a man who would be 111 years old was kept in a Tokyo house for nearly 30 years. The authorities are reportedly investigating his family on suspicion of pension fraud and negligence.
The Japanese press has since tallied nearly 60 instances of centenarians registered with local authorities to receive pensions but whose whereabouts are unknown. The macabre findings have refocused attention on the ability of the Japanese government to cope with its ageing population, particularly its capacity to pay their pensions, says the Financial Times:
- Part of the problem is that economic stagnation and deteriorating employment conditions have reduced the ability of the younger generation to support the elderly.
- The proportion of "working poor" or people earning less than $23,000 annually is rising every year.
- Meanwhile, there are as many people on the waiting list for nursing homes as there are living in them.
"The entire welfare system in Japan has depended on a growth model that has stalled," says Richard Ronald, a lecturer in urban studies at the University of Amsterdam. "Dependency on the pensions of older household members is not surprising considering the poor income prospects of younger generations."
Commentators say that identifying fraudulent claims is made more difficult because there is no single official body responsible for benefits. There are also laws that prevent authorities carrying out thorough checks on individuals.

My best friend and I are planning a week-long trip to the UK next year. Our plan is to base ourselves in London, and take a few day tours to nearby areas to visit some of the historic castles and other locales. I've started looking here, at trip advisor, lonely planet, and a variety of other sites and am really starting to get overwhelmed.
We're planning to go in late March/early April, mainly because that's when our vacation schedules coincide. We thought our first task should be to settle on a hotel - this being our first trip to London, we want to be fairly centrally located with easy access to public transportation. We also don't want to spend $$$$$ a night on a hotel. I've seen some pretty good reviews for The Lime Tree; does anyone have any experience staying there? Can anyone recommend a moderately priced, clean, safe hotel that's centrally located?
Regarding day tours, I've noticed that even Harrod's is in to the day tour business. Are their certain tour operators to avoid? I'd really appreciate any recommendations. I've defaulted to my usual practice of making spreadsheets to sort the data, but without reliable recommendations, I'm really flying blind.
Thanks so much for any help!

I stayed at the Bloomsbury Hotel near Tottenham Court Rd station last fall and could not have been happier with the location. It's not too expensive and has a great breakfast. I also had heard really good things about the Hazlitt's.
I have also stayed at the Marriott Grosvenor Sq in Mayfair and the Royal Horseguards near central London. They are ok but not great.
Enjoy. London's incredible.

Thanks so much! I'll check those out and add them to my list

I second London Walks - good value, good guides, and helps you to get your bearings on the city. I really enjoyed the Walk to to Greenwich I did a couple of years ago. I have also caught the train to Hampton Court Palace one day and then Hatfield House (both have entry gates close to their local train station, and a very easy train ride from central London) - didn't need to book a tour to do it, very easy, pleasant day with lots of history, and nice local villages to potter in afterwards.

Check out Venere to get another view of where you might want to rent.
http://www.venere.com/uk/london/ Sort by price, location, type of lodging you might want. Check out the reviews of places you might like. Always check the hotel's website to make sure you get the best value.
I like these guys and use them for reference a lot.

if you want a b&b, we really liked the celtic hotel (used to be called st. margaret's) nice people and great breakfast. best of all, it's so easy and cheap to get to from heathrow. (anything near russell square is...) you just take the regular tube from the airport (not the more expensive express) and get off at russell square. it's literally around the corner form the tube stop. i highly recommend that area--we found it very central.

Wow, great suggestions; I knew this was the place to come for advice. Thank you all so much; I'm feeling less stressed already!

I agree with the recommendations to look at London Walks for day trips. walks.com. I've done some of their day trips (as well as some of their 2 hour walks within London) and they are very good. There are a lot of options for day trips out of London - you can also easily go independently by train - suggest you narrow down where you want to go or tell us your interests to get more specific advice.

Hmmm, I guess it's a matter of definition. I just checked a random date in September, and the best price for a single at the Cumberland is $348....
I like to stay here: http://www.ridgemounthotel.co.uk - $102 for an en-suite single and not too far from the Russell Square tube station.
But if your dates fit their schedule, the best deal is probably the LSE halls of residence, http://www.lsevacations.co.uk/

We used London Walks tour of Oxford and the Cotswolds; a very scenic and informative trip. We were actually walking down the pastures out by the cows at one point!
Also easy to do is take the train to Hampton Court. There is plenty to do here for a day, including the beautiful gardens.
Have you thought of renting a flat for your trip? Personal tastes vary, but this was a great choice for us. Reasonably priced, 10 minutes from the tube, a kitchen available when you wanted to use it, laundry in the flat, etc/
Report Abuse
What I would look for in terms of day trips is
1) what you can do yourselves by trains
2) for those where a combination of sights makes bus tours necessary see what the wether looks like when you get there versus the days when they offer the tours (you will be there in early season and many tours will not be offered every day certainly not by multiple companies)
Do remember that is will still be chilly and likely rainy - and you won;t want to do countryside unless the weather is decent
Report Abuse
Sorry - can;t help with hotels - this isn;t our price point. But I would stay as close to the center as yuo can - since the tube shuts down very early and getting back to a hotel not in walking distance can be a major PIA.

We recently stayed at the Lime Tree Hotel. The hotel itself was nice and clean; our room was quite small (we're used to European hotel rooms), but there were four of us in the quad room, so I doubt this would be a consideration for you.
The back garden was nice, and mostly quiet. If there were people in the garden, we could easily hear them from our room.
Several days, the breakfast room was full when we wanted to eat, so we had to wait for an available table.
There were several nearby pubs and wine bars to drop for a late-evening drink, a boulangerie where we picked up bread for a picnic lunch, and a bunch of appealing-looking shops, if you like to shop (I don't really, but I like looking in the windows).
The area was safe and quiet, and I loved its proximity to Hyde Park - I went running there every morning. I'm not sure we'd stay in this area again, though. For us, it was further (even my tube) from the places in London that we tend to enjoy. DH did not like having to go through Victoria Station every time we took the Tube, but the rest of the family liked that. In previous visits, we've stayed more in the Covent Garden (a long time ago) and Bloomsbury areas. The main reason that we didn't stay in this area most recently was that I just couldn't seem to find rooms (either quad or two doubles) in the price range that I was looking for, of the quality that I was seeking (clean, nice bathrooms).
London Walks are great - we didn't take any on this trip, but have taken them on previous trips. And we are not generally the types to enjoy guided walks. (The most interesting one to me was the one that included the Inns of Court, as I'm a lawyer.)

The London Walks look like a great idea; I've been checking some of them out and they definitely seem like what we're looking for. I navigated the DC Metro system for years, so I'm hoping the tube is pretty similar to that.
Don't really need a huge hotel room, as we don't plan to spend a lot of time there; safety, location, cleanliness, and a reasonable price are the keys. Trying to keep the price reasonable as we're both ditching the spouses for this vacation and feeling a bit guilty about spending money they won't get to enjoy.
The Cotswolds look lovely and we were interested in visiting there, as well as Hampton Court and potentially Windsor Castle. We'd considered a trip to Leeds Castle as well, but otherwise we were planning on sticking close to London. It looks like the London Walks will cover everything we'd like to see.
Thanks so much for the suggestions and guidance. There's so much out there, I really appreciate the help in narrowing down the options
Report Abuse
Here's my two cents worth:
First--You might try AtHomeinLondon http://www.athomeinlondon.co.uk/ It's an agency for a few B&B's; of course, some beds might be double and you probably want separate, but it might be worth a look. You definitely want to stay in zones 1 or 2 and be very close to a Tube stop. We had excellent service from this agency twice.
Second--with only a week in London, don't schedule many (any?) day trips. There's so much in London.
Third--with good planning, and you have plenty of time to do so, there's no reason to need a tour group. Save money, be on your own timetable, and tailor make an itinerary for you guys. Really. I've had guides when I take students, and yes the good ones are good at getting groups sorted out, at adding a bit (or a lot) of history/color/info, and such. But more fun to do it on your own. However, I have heard only good things about most of the LondonWalks--but again you are confined to their (admittedly fairly extensive)choices, so days and hours are dictated by someone else. London is, with planning, SO navigable by even newbies!
Fourth--if you really want to do a day trip, Oxford is easy (and don't need a tour guide). There are lots more, but really don't plan too many. (Dover Castle is fantastic; Salisbury/Stonehenge is very doable as a day trip; Winchester is charming. etc., etc.!)
So wise to plan so far ahead. Something else you might do is read some trip reports here on this forum to get an idea of how timing goes for people.
Oh Fifth--get used to a map service like googlemaps or walkit.com and see how far apart "stuff" really is and get EXACT addresses from any prospective rooms and insert that into the map so you can see where it REALLY is.
You will have a blast, whatever options you chose to pursue.
Report Abuse
Leia1191, good for you to start planning ahead. London is such a great city. You can never do all you plan on your first trip so prioritize the places/things you want to see.
Again I will recommend the STRAND PALACE where I stayed last summer. It is 3-4 minutes from Trafalgar Square and within a mile or so of tons of attractions including: theater district, St. Paul's and the City, Parliament and Westminster Abbey, the Thames (cruising recommended), Churchill War Rooms and more.
Click on my name to see the places I visited without using the Tube and only one bus.
Of course, there are tons of pubs and night life in the area. Let us know which hotel you choose and how things work out. The Strand Palace is a large, older vintage hotel whose rooms have recently been cleanly updated. Excellent breakfast too which should keep you and your friend going for the day. it was recommended on this forum and I am glad that I took the suggestions.

I am DEFINITELY a planner - that's why my friend put me in charge of organizing the trip. I will confess to making a spreadsheet and everything; I've been mocked before for my spreadsheets when I travel, but I know from experience that a bit of planning ahead saves me from frustration and mistakes when I'm trying to enjoy my vacation.
We'll probably go with a London Walk at least one of the days; neither one of us has a decent sense of direction so until we get our bearings, having someone to point us in the right direction is pretty important. With all the time I have to plan though, I'm sure I'll have a pretty good prioritized list of what to do by the time our trip rolls around.
I really do appreciate all the expert suggestions
Report Abuse
In London for a week do one - or a tmost 2 day trips - depending on how you count the days (you don;t count the day you arrive or the day you leave - since you won;t get anything done either one). Esp in March/early April do not count on the countryside looking like anything much - so slect day trips with care - focusing on larger towns or castles. I don;t think it's a great time for the Cotswolds.

Kensington Palace is a good spot to visit in London, especially if they still have the exhibition of Princess Di's gowns still on. It was the home of young Princess Victoria till she became Queen at 18. The gardens are beautiful, and you can take afternoon tea from 3pm in the Orangerie. And it's walking distance to Harrod's and Harvey Nichols in Knightsbridge.
Report Abuse
" And it's walking distance to Harrod's and Harvey Nichols in Knightsbridge."
Well, I guess most everything in London is w/i walking distance if you have enough time. From Kens Palace to Harrods/Harvey Nicks would take at least 30 minutes. Kensington Palace is fine, but w/ as little time as you have in London, it wouldn't usually be on the 'must see' list.
>>We'll probably go with a London Walk at least one of the days; neither one of us has a decent sense of direction so until we get our bearings, having someone to point us in the right direction is pretty important.<<
Just so you realize, London Walks aren't comprehensive 'show us the lay of the land' type of tours. They are 2-ish hour walks covering small areas/individual neighborhoods/single themes. They are mostly VERY good -- but they won't give you your bearings for London.
I agree w/ the others that in a week only plan on one full day out of town trip. Oxford on your own or maybe one of the London walks away days. This is the link to the London Walks day trip offerings http://www.walks.com/London_Walks_Home/Daytrips_from_London/default.aspx
Don't even consider Leeds Castle. It does have lovely gardens/grounds (but not in the top 5 of gardens in the southeast), but the castle itself is really a wedding/conference venue. Some interesting rooms but not worth the time away from London.
Have you found a place to stay yet? I may have missed it -what is your budget?
Report Abuse
I've actually walked the distance between the Palace and Harrods, and it takes no more than twenty minutes. It's not difficult at all, especially for two young active women? Also, it's a pleasant walk through a nice part of London, so an enjoyable way to see that part of the city. Getting there via Tube would not save any time. And the Palace is a lovely oasis in a bustling city. Sometimes it's the less-known things that make a strong impression for travellers.

"I've actually walked the distance between the Palace and Harrods, and it takes no more than twenty minutes."
I have as well -- from somewhere in the park or the Palace probably 20 or more times. Even the TFL website says 32 minutes for an average walker (and it tends to underestimate these things)
And for a slow walker -likely since it is through the park and one may want to 'smell the roses' so to speak -it calculates 45 minutes.
Not that is is a bad walk -- it is great. But it ain't no 20 mins unless one jogs.
Report Abuse
meant to add - whether one walks through the park or along Kensington Rd/Knightsbridge it is the same distance so in the park is better IMO.
Maybe it seemed only 20mins because it is such a pleasant walk and is not any sort of slog.

BEFORE you fly, print off every voucher you conceivably may use. Take vouchers with you.
When in London, go to a NATIONAL RAIL station (like Victoria, Waterloo, Paddington, etc.) and go to the manned ticket booth at the station (not the Tube station, the Rail station - on the same level as the ubiquitous M&S Simply Food and Boots stores) and get seven-day PAPER Travelcards (you will need a passport-size photo for each of you too).
Present cards and voucher as necessary at your chosen attractions. This will net you 1/2 off Hampton Court Palace, 1/2 off the Cabinet War Rooms, 1/2 off the Tower and more. If you're really lucky, St Paul's will be available with the offers too.

Cincinnati, Oh. (by Ryan Stanton, WTVQ) – I guess the Bengals need a little adversity to get everyone on the same page in a win over the Philadelphia Eagles. Besides Bengals kicker, Mike Nugent still being off the mark and missing another extra point, all phases of the game came together today. Unfortunately, not many got to see the game in person, with the record and weather contributing to a half filled Paul Brown Stadium.
Maybe it's the arrival of (near) wintry weather that we are accustomed to this time of year or the fact that Andy Dalton didn't have his most trusty receiver, but it was definitely one of the best first half performances of the year and a pretty good second half as well. Speaking of the QB position, Andy Dalton had one of his best performances with a good passing game and spreading the wealth among various receiving options. The defense also came together, topping off a strong performance with a Vontaze Burfict interception of a Carson Wentz pass with about 3:52 left in the 4th quarter. Bengals win, 32-14 over the Philadelphia Eagles.
I think the moral of the story for this season is that like Forest Gump's "box of chocolates", we never know what we are going to get. This week is the milk chocolate with coconut filling(one of my favorites…sorry if it's not yours), but next week we may end up with the one with the pink filling that nobody likes. The good news is that the season is still exciting and we are still getting good football, thanks to the Queen City. The better news is that it won't take a great performance since next week the Bengals take on the winless in-state rival, Cleveland Browns.

You have a network printer, then, not a local printer. My guess is, it has a card reader, which gets assigned a drive letter. If the wireless took a little while to connect, then it is possible the set drive for the printer's card reader wasn't getting connected in time, and Windows would give the drive error.

|My System Specs

The difference between the two is how they are connected to the computer. If there is a cable connecting them, such as a USB cable, it is considering a local printer. If it uses some type of network to connect, such as wireless, or maybe if the printer uses Ethernet to connect to a home router, then it is a network printer. It's not so much the printer that determines it...but what method of connecting to the computers. Many home printers could be either local or network. My Kodak at home is wireless, has a wired network port, and also a USB connection, giving me three options.

Field Pennycress: A weed-suppressing winter annual oilseed cover crop
Amanda Flipp, Kayla Altendorf, Kevin Anderson, Gregg Johnson, Jim Anderson, David Marks, Kevin Betts & Donald Wyse
Results of Current Research:
Continuing Research:
There are several challenges to the adoption of field pennycress as a cover crop in the upper Midwest which are the subject of ongoing research at the University of Minnesota.
Interseeding pennycress into corn and soybean: The optimal planting date (August 1) and harvest date (June 1) for pennycress overlap with those of corn and soybean. We are investigating the feasibility of interseeding pennycress into standing corn and soybean at dates ranging from early summer to early fall.
Relay cropping soybean into pennycress: Relay cropping soybean into pennycress involves no till planting soybean into a field still occupied by pennycress, then harvesting the oilseeds several weeks later over the top of the emerged soybean crop. This maintains early planting of soybeans while allowing for harvest of the oilseed crop. The impact of several durations of relay on soybean yield are being evaluated.

text: So this is my first little guy (that I have done completely by myself) he was only an 8 pounder, which I figured would be a good size for my first one. I had made a homemade ginger applesauce so I mixed that with a little spicy mustard and used that to make the rub really stick to the meat. I picked up the suggestion of using mustard to make your rub stick from someone on here, I can't remember who though. I made sure to keep him all nice and juicy by alternating using a bbq sauce mop and by spraying the little guy with a balsamic vinegar/pineapple mango juice mixture. The picture about was from when I had about 2 hours left. Unfortunately by the time I got it all cut up and ready to go I forgot to take a picture and then it was gone. But everyone was really happy with the results! can anyone tell me how you really get that crust on your smoked meats? I really liked mine but was disappointed that it didn't have that crust.

Hi-Fi Music Lounge Presents
Gold Connections
Sun · April 30, 2017
Doors: 7:30 pm / Show: 8:30 pm
Hi-Fi Lounge
Advance Tickets: $10, Day of Show: $12
This event is 21 and overhttps://www.hifimusichall.com/event/1453842/
The music is a patchwork amalgam of influences, including: twangy Southern rock (they've opened for the Drive-By Truckers), reverb-soaked psychedelia reminiscent of early My Morning Jacket or fellow Athens residents Phosphorescent, soaring guitar solos à la Neil Young and Crazy Horse, rhythmic jangle from that other Athens band, REM, multi-part vocal harmonies (which every band ought to have, dammit), and, weaving through it all, lyrical slide guitar. - Vox.com
Gold Connections
Gold Connections' debut EP was home-recorded in the spring of 2014 in Williamsburg, VA, and features production, engineering, and mixing by Will Toledo (Car Seat Headrest). It is comprised of the band's five best, earliest original songs written by Marsh while he was an undergrad of the College of William & Mary in Virginia. It was there that Marsh met Toledo; Marsh a freshman, Toledo a sophomore. The fated meeting is recounted below in the words of Toledo and Marsh themselves. Though Toledo won't be a member going forward, he also plays drums, electric guitar, bass, and backing vocals throughout the EP. Fat Possum will release Gold Connections' debut album later this year.

1. Prevalence of Forced Marriage in Southern Cameroon
Sources indicate that Cameroon is divided into 10 administrative divisions (US n.d.; Political Handbook of the World 2012). According to the Political Handbook of the World, these divisions were called "provinces" until November 2008 when the President replaced "provinces" with "regions" (ibid.). The CIA World Factbook states that the 10 administrative divisions are: Adamaoua, Centre, East, Far North, Littoral, North, Northwest, West, South, and Southwest (US n.d.). In a telephone interview with the Research Directorate, a professor of African anthropology at the University of Amsterdam stated that, due to the way that Cameroon is divided, it is difficult to analyze southern Cameroon as this geographic scope does not exist (Professor 27 Mar. 2013).
In correspondence with the Research Directorate, an official at the Cameroonian Ministry of Women's Empowerment and the Family indicated that forced marriage is a "common form of violence against women and girls both in the northern and southern regions of Cameroon" (Cameroon 26 Mar. 2013). Also in correspondence with the Research Directorate, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Amsterdam, whose specialization includes migration and Cameroon, indicated that she came across "several cases" of forced marriage in the south of Cameroon during her research (Postdoctoral Researcher 23 Mar. 2013). A representative of the Federation of Women Lawyers (FIDA) in Cameroon, also in correspondence with the Research Directorate, similarly indicated that forced marriage is prevalent in "some parts of Cameroon" and is "quite common" in the rural areas of the Northwest Region and the Southwest Region, including Akwaya in Manyu Division, parts of Lebialem, and in "places that still have a lot of respect for traditional rulers or chiefs" (FIDA 30 Mar. 2013). FIDA is an international NGO founded in 1944 in Mexico City that has consultative status with the UN and whose mission is "to promote the welfare of women and children" (ibid. n.d.).
Sources indicate that forced marriages are especially prevalent in rural areas (FIDA 30 Mar. 2013; Postdoctoral Researcher 23 Mar. 2013). However, the Postdoctoral Researcher added that although forced marriage is more common in rural than urban areas, "connections to the village remain important for anyone living in the city," and provided the example of genital mutilation, which, although is much more common in rural areas, can be performed on women from urban areas when taken back to the village during summer vacations (ibid.).
Sources indicate that the practice of forced marriage varies from region to region (Cameroon 26 Mar. 2013; Professor 27 Mar. 2013). The Professor of African Anthropology at the University of Amsterdam added that, generally speaking, women are nevertheless independent, mobile, and free to divorce (ibid.). However, the Ministry of Women's Empowerment and the Family official stated that "there is early betrothal, early/forced or arranged marriage, and the practice of the levirate or sororate for widows and widowers …. Tradition makes it such that the woman is still considered as 'property'" (Cameroon 26 Mar. 2013). According to the Postdoctoral Researcher, "socioeconomic considerations are very important for marriage in Cameroon and can result in unfree choices" (23 Mar. 2013). She said that young women are often only able to attend university because they are "sponsored" by their boyfriend, which consequently can lead them to feel obliged to marry their boyfriend (Postdoctoral Researcher 23 Mar. 2013). She added that marrying for "love" is not common (ibid.). She said that forced marriages are more common among less educated and poorer families (ibid.). The FIDA representative also indicated that forced marriage is more common among people with a low socioeconomic status (30 Mar. 2013).
1.1 Southwest Cameroon
In correspondence with the Research Directorate, the Director of the African and African American Studies Program at Carleton College in Minnesota indicated that, in the Southwest Region, "there are many ethnic groups with diverse kinship, lineage, and political systems" (22 Feb. 2013).
In correspondence with the Research Directorate, a representative of the Rural Women Development Center (RUWDEC), an NGO located in Buea, Southwest Region, that works on sustainable development and improving the living standards of communities (n.d.), indicated that there are cases of forced marriage in the Southwest Region, but that these cases are "relative to various ethnic groups" (27 Mar. 2013). In a telephone interview with the Research Directorate, the Executive Director of Reach Out, a non profit organization based in Buea (Reach Out n.d.), that conducts advocacy, awareness-raising, and "empowerment" related to the issue of forced marriages, stated that both forced marriage and early marriage occur in the Southwest Region (ibid. 22 Feb. 2013). The Postdoctoral Researcher similarly stated that, in rural areas in southwest Cameroon, "it can easily happen that women have to marry without consent and at an early age" (25 Feb. 2013).
According to the Executive Director of Reach Out, it is "common" for girls to be forced to marry chiefs (22 Feb. 2013). The Postdoctoral Researcher indicated that "if the chief wants to marry a person, the power games with the parents are more complicated and the degree of force can be greater than for forced marriages with ordinary men" (25 Feb. 2013). The Director of African and African American Studies indicated that, unless a political rival is enforcing the forced marriage law, "powerful men such as traditional chiefs could most likely act with impunity" (22 Feb. 2013). Speaking about the southern regions of Cameroon more generally, the FIDA representative stated that it is "quite common" for chiefs to forcibly marry girls or women, and added that chiefs "have the necessary authority" (30 Mar. 2013).
2. Whether Women Forced to Marry Chiefs in Southwest Cameroon Must Be Virgins and Childless
According to the Executive Director of Reach Out, whether a woman who is forced to marry a chief must be a virgin depends on the chief's preference, as the decision is "up to the chief" (Reach Out 22 Feb. 2013). The Executive Director added that "there have been cases" of chiefs forcing women with children from another man to marry them, but she has heard of only "very few" such cases (ibid.). She also stated that sometimes chiefs take other men's wives, and that this practice is particularly "rampant" in remote areas (ibid.).
The Postdoctoral Researcher stated that "generally speaking, there are no virginity tests before marriage in South West Cameroon" (25 Feb. 2013). Once again referring to the general situation, the Postdoctoral Researcher stated that, depending on the ethnic group, already having had a child may "increase the value of a woman because she has proven her fertility" (25 Feb. 2013). The Postdoctoral Researcher noted that practices relating to forced marriage to chiefs, and whether a woman must be a virgin, "greatly depend on the socio-economic position of the parents of the woman" (25 Feb. 2013).
3. Legislation
According to the legislation in Cameroon, forced marriage is prohibited (Cameroon 1967, Art. 356), and the legal age of marriage is 15 for women and 18 for men, "except when authorized otherwise by the President of the Republic for serious grounds" (ibid. 1981, Art. 52). For more information on legislation pertaining to forced or early marriage, please refer to Response to Information Request CMR104129.
However, in January 2010, the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child expressed its concern about reports of girls "as young as 12" getting married (29 Jan. 2010, para. 9). The FIDA representative stated that legislation is "not effective" and is "impossible" to implement (30 Mar. 2013). According to the Director of African and African American Studies, forced marriage legislation is enforced "very selectively" (22 Feb. 2013). The Postdoctoral Researcher considered that state legislation related to forced marriage is "extremely unlikely to be able to have any kind of efficiency for women faced with forced marriages" (Postdoctoral Researcher 23 Mar. 2013). The Postdoctoral Researcher also indicated that, in Cameroon, legislation does not have the same authority as it does in North America or Europe (ibid.). She added that cultural norms and practices may be contrary to legislation (ibid.). She also stated that "legal proceedings are extremely long and difficult," and "one only stands a chance of winning a case, if…connected with people within the court" (ibid.). She also said that family affairs are usually regulated by "para-legal systems" (ibid.). Further or corroborating information could not be found among the sources consulted by the Research Directorate within the time constraints of this Response.
4. Consequences of Refusing a Forced Marriage in Southern Cameroon
Writing about the consequences for refusing a forced marriage in the south of Cameroon, the Postdoctoral Researcher said the following:
This will depend enormously on the level of education of the family members and whether this occurs in a rural or an urban setting. When young women flee forced marriages in the village, they will need to be lucky to be able to find shelter with other family members in more urban settings. One of my informants received shelter from one of her brothers in a small town, but had to get a boyfriend in order to finance her schooling. She remained very vulnerable and was not able to return to the village for over 10 years. Another informant of mine found herself so isolated that she fell into the hands of a person who brought her over to Europe in exchange for bonded labour in the sex industry. In general, the refusal of a forced marriage cuts off many social ties that can otherwise serve as a source of social protection. (Postdoctoral Researcher 23 Mar. 2013)
Corroborating or additional information could not be found among the sources consulted by the Research Directorate within the time constraints of this Response.
According to the FIDA representative, a girl cannot refuse a forced marriage because she would likely not be able to afford to return the money and gifts that have been given to her by the groom's family (30 Mar. 2013).
5. State Protection
The FIDA representative stated that "no one can assist" a girl or a woman who refuses a forced marriage (30 Mar. 2013). The Rural Women Development Center representative indicated that, in the Southwest Region, because forced marriage may be enforced by tradition, cases of forced marriage are "are not reported but rather concealed by traditional rulers and elites who believe and practice it" (27 Mar. 2013). However, according to the Ministry of Women's Empowerment and the Family official, "all cases of forced marriage are either reported to [the Ministry of Women's Empowerment and the Family] or its decentralised services for counselling and technical assistance" (Cameroon 26 Mar. 2013). The official also indicated that, during counselling sessions, the Ministry informs and educates families and offers therapy (ibid.). She added that the Ministry's interest is to "maintain harmony and stability in the family" (ibid.). The official further stated that "recalcitrant cases" are forwarded to the court, and for other cases, "the victim reports directly to the competent court in their area of residence, for action" (ibid.). Without specifying the region or the outcome, the US Department of State Country Reports on Human Rights Practices for 2011 indicated that the courts heard one case of forced marriage in 2010 (24 May 2012, 30).
The Postdoctoral Researcher said that, although the government may have forced marriage programmes, she "very much doubt[s] the efficiency of such programmes" (23 Mar. 2013). She added that, because girls "typically" are forced to marry when they are teenagers, they do not have the "reflex to turn to a government programme and will even fear public authorities," as they believe that the authorities will agree with their parents (Postdoctoral Researcher 23 Mar. 2013). The Professor of African Anthropology at the University of Amsterdam similarly stated that state protection for victims of forced marriage is "very minimal" (Professor 27 Mar. 2013). He indicated that if a woman is rich, she may be able to get a lawyer (ibid.). He also indicated that seeking protection from the police is "very difficult," as the police are corrupt and are often accused of rape (ibid.). Further or corroborating information could not be found among the sources consulted by the Research Directorate within the time constraints of this Response.

One of the most difficult parts of getting a handle on your finances is creating a plan. Flatirons has created a budget worksheet to help you get started with your plan. Download the budget worksheet. (Requires Microsoft Excel or compatible spreadsheet software.)
If you need help in setting up a spending plan/budget, please consider attending one of Flatirons' financial workshops or give the Church's CFO, Michael Koehn, a call. Giving should be a priority in all our lives and a way to bring glory to God, not another way to add stress to our lives and drive us deeper into debt.
Planned Giving
Whether supported through an outright gift or planned gift, Flatirons Community Church and its programs are made possible through the generosity and commitment of its attendees and supporters. A planned gift to Flatirons Community Church helps to carry out its mission of reaching lost and broken people, while at the same time, furthering your financial goals.
What are planned gifts? Planned gifts might generally be described as thoughtful gifts of assets, oftentimes over and above what might be donated on a weekly or regular basis. Such gifts often include significant tax-planning and tax-saving opportunities and may necessitate the coordination of your legal and tax advisors.
Planned gifts traditionally encompass several major strategies:
- Appreciated Assets
- Bequests (Wills)
- Life Insurance
- Charitable Trusts
- Retirement Assets
- Life Estates

Embedded Market Forecasters(EMF), the premier market intelligence and advisory firm in the global embedded industry and the market research division of American Technology International, has published an analysis of model-driven development best practices. This report, entitled, "Model Driven Development of Certifiable Software: A Best Practice for Safety-Critical Applications describes that many embedded developers in "critical software markets" are so busy that they are not aware of the available advances in tool technology that improve their productivity in developing safety-critical applications. Dr. Jerry Krasner, Embedded Market Forecaster's Vice President and Chief Analyst, culled EMF's detailed developer surveys to effectively understand the issues developers face and the best practices, tools, and methodologies they use to address those issues. In referring to safety-critical embedded software development, Dr. Krasner says, "The fact that software can be certified using formal processes and tools has been largely overlooked in the safety-critical software market."
EMF describes that standards and requirements are driving the new embedded marketplace because companies can realize benefits from reduced development costs as well as improved processes and product quality. This is of paramount importance in the expanding embedded marketplace of safety and security related application development. According to EMF, characteristics for success in these markets include interoperability, guaranteed software quality, and enhanced safety and security.
The EMF report details the benefits of formal methodologies and tools compared to informal and semi-formal methods and tools. There are benefits to flexible yet informal and semi-formal approaches such as those presented in UML/SysML model-driven development environments like Rhapsody®, Artisan Studio®, and the Simulink® proprietary tool and modeling language. However, for safety-critical application development and verification, a formal notation like the Scade® language and the SCADE Suite[tm] model-based development environment are required for the demands of today's application complexity. Based on a formal language, SCADE Suite offers certified code generation for these safety-critical domains. According to Dr. Krasner, "When it comes to developing critical software, our point of view is that formal methods and tools can provide the necessary rigor for developing and certifying the software product in an efficient way for the various application domains that we have described."

Cy-Kick CS

Mary from Richmond Va writes,
Can I use a plastic sprayer to apply Cy-Kick CSt?
When applying the Cy Kick CS you would need to use a pump sprayer similar to the Chapin 1 Gallon pump sprayer we carry. It can also be applied in a hose end sprayer. You will adjust your settings to apply 1-2 fl oz per gallon of water to treat 1,000 sq ft.

With no knowledge of who the lyrics belong to, a variety of artists give their unfiltered opinion on other rappers' bars.
Adele is taking being a fan girl to the next level, but yet again, this is Beyoncé she is talking about, so we totally (sort of) get it.
In a post on Instagram, Adele shared a photo of her holding a huge photo of the artwork for Bey's 2006 single "Irreplaceable," captioning the photo with the ultimate fan-girl message.
"I'm not late on this, I've just been speechless," Adele wrote. "Beyoncé is the most inspiring person I've ever had the pleasure of worshipping."
Pause. Worshipping? Yup, she took it there.
"Her talent, beauty, grace and work ethic are all in a league of their own," the singer continued. "I appreciate you so much! Thank God for Beyoncé X."
While we certainly feel a similar sentiment as Adele, "worshipping" definitely takes Bey adoration to an extreme level. We ain't mad, though.

Two roses and several vines – one terminating in a leaf – entwine to make this wall hanging candle sconce a unique, one-of-a-kind item. As a note of interest, the two roses and the rope-edged perimeter ring are all shaped from a single piece of steel. The ring is riveted at the overlap point (bottom), and the two roses are mounted in a staggered configuration. The entangling vines, candle-holding spiral, and the drip catcher have all been added to the basic ring/rose configuration, held tightly together by a ribbon-textured metal collar. In the center, at the base of the oval, a twisted loop and drip plate, with a hanging ornamental curl, are ready for a tall tapered candle.

A natural hunter, I've harvested several trophies and live to be in the woods. Bow hunting is my passion but I love many outdoor activities that give me an opportunity to spend time in God's awesome creation, whether it's fishing, camping or hiking. I don't know anytime that I feel closer to our Creator than when I am in the outdoors.
Steve Noble is a born and raised product of Michigan. Growing up stomping around in the timber of Michigan, and throwing lines in the Great Lakes has paved the way for this passionate outdoorsman. There are three things that Steve recalls about his young hunting career that seems to have "ignited" the fire. "On one evening when I was 10 years old my Dad put a recurve bow in my hand, one wooden arrow with a field tip, and he sat me on a stump on the edge of the timber he was hunting", on this hunt a mature doe came out and crept within 5 yards of his makeshift ground blind. "The doe spotted me, I froze, I tried so hard not to move…but every time she stomped her foot I rose about 6 inches off of my seat in fear", recalled Steve. There was no fear of any animal being shot on that hunt, but Steve sure felt like he was hunting, and that was pretty impressionable on him. That experience in addition to hundreds of other outdoor adventures has created a Monster. Steve is a passionate bow hunter that has harvested several animals that include whitetail deer, black bear, and turkey in the states of Michigan and Illinois, with multiple animals qualifying for the pope and young record books. Steve is also an avid fly fisherman in pursuit of big brown trout that inhabit the streams of Michigan.
Born and raised in Deckerville, Michigan and having known forever that I wanted to make my living and live in this rural community my whole life. Growing up, the outdoors was a huge part of my life and I can't imagine what my life would be without it! I was taught most of my knowledge about the outdoors from my grandfather, father and uncle at an early age and use that valuable information not only while in the outdoors, but also in life everyday! Family is the most important thing in my life, and being able to pass on lessons learned over time back to my children is what drives my passion for life and the great outdoors!

Tim McCarty, head football coach at East Central University, is what might be called a pessimistic optimist.
That's during football season.
On an ice-cold, gray day inside his office at ECU, with the opening kickoff seven months away, McCarty is an optimist's optimist.
With 28 new recruits to bolster the depth chart of his ECU Tigers, and with the knowledge he lost only five seniors off last year's .500 ball club, optimism is easy.
But that's not what's driving his current optimism. McCarty's staff has recruited a road grader to take care of one side of his offensive wall this fall.
That would be a man — and Kevin Bowen is a man — all 6 feet 8 and a half inches and 342 pounds of him.
No, seriously...
This is an offensive tackle from Southwestern College in Chula Vista, California who in his entire college football career, has never allowed a sack.
That's NEVER, as in NEVER. At no time.
So that takes care of one side of the field. No matter how many mortal opponents line up to try to slow Bowen, holes will be popping up at all the mortals' abandoned positions.
Choose your poison, gentlemen.
Jo Jo "Beep Beep" Snell could run between this guy's legs undiscovered for 15 yards. And you know what happens when Beep Beep gets a coyote (safety) in a one-on-one disaster 15 yards downfield.
Chalk up six and go kick off again.
Granted, Kevin Bowen is a mythical creature in these parts right now. The important thing is, he's already on campus eating local groceries. He's still trying to fill out, you know.
Bowen used to be a basketball player, but three years ago he tried football and never looked back.
McCarty tries to maintain his dignity while describing his new prize recruit, then starts to lose it just as quickly.
"God makes very few people like this," he says as he leads a reporter to a laptop on his desk. "I'm just glad to have a chance to coach one of them."
Kevin's teammates back in California call this guy "Green Mile." Movie buffs will remember that last walk on death row for doomed murderers.
"Watch No. 74," McCarty says, trying not to giggle while watching for the viewer's facial expression to change a second later.
Remember the movie, "The Blind Side"? Now, you're starting to get the picture. There Kevin, or Green Mile, is towering over his opponents as if he's making flapjacks one play at a time.
Running backs behind him look like they're trying to win the 100 meter dash on the way to the goal line.
Off season optimist's optimism? Sure it is, but East Central University isn't about to lose a football game for at least the next seven months.
How did little ol' East Central wind up with this guy?
"He's a no-nonsense type of person," McCarty says. "A player has to consider a lot of things when picking a college. Part of it is emotional, and part of it is having a good head for business — what can this school offer him. He doesn't like a lot of coaches in his face all the time telling him how good he is, or bothering his mom on the telephone."
Kevin has his mind set on being a computer programmer. He's within two years of reaching that goal. He may want to set some other goals if he's as good as advertised.
Making Saturday afternoon pancakes is a means to a promising end, regardless.
McCarty gives assistants Josh Phillips and Chad Roark much of the credit for recruiting this fella to Ada.
Those same coaches intend to give him all the help they can with what looks like a high-quality recruiting class — at least on a cold February day.

Health IT Solutions to Possible ICD-10 Problems for Your Practice
Health IT Solutions to Possible ICD-10 Problems for Your Practice
CMS recently announced that healthcare organizations have until October 1, 2014 to implement ICD-10. This represents a one-year delay for their initial plans to make the switch from ICD-9.
But while the extension gives practices an extra year to make the transition, there will still be some serious growing pains.
In this podcast, Juliet Santos, senior director of business-centered systems for the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS), enlightens listeners on both the transitional pitfalls and technology solutions available to help.

So I went to the dr. yesterday because I have been feeling kinda lousy. Luckily we narrowed down what it is and she gave me meds to get me started on the path back to normalcy. Now, when I got home all I wanted to do was relax while waiting for the meds to kick in, so I drew a really really hot bath with some Sanctuary Bath Relaxer in it.
I can't begin to properly explain this scent to you, but I will give you my impression: it is just a warm, rich scent that smells just like a high end spa would smell (which is where it originates from) and just breathing it in deeply relaxes you immediately. This oil leaves you with an silky oily feel, but not overly dripping, just soft.
I know that after my bath, I felt much better (I am sure the meds kicking in didn't hurt with that) and more relaxed. I can def reccommend this to anyone wanting to feel like they are being super pampered in a super spa, but for much less money. You can pick this up at Target, either online or in store for under $10. Enjoy.

It's the unofficial Thirteenth Law of Rock and Roll: The band will always get back together. No matter how bitter the breakup, how unnecessary the reunion or how fraught the peace. Case in point: The first new David Lee Roth-fronted Van Halen album in 28 years, "A Different Kind of Truth," which appears to have been assembled with the diplomatic skills of a team of UN negotiators and all the passion of a proctological exam.
And yet. How can you not love it now that it's here, if only for the sheer unlikelihood of its existence? Most legacy acts limit themselves to reunion tours (Van Halen and Roth did this already, in 2007, and will tour again this year) without the added bother of recording new material that no one wants to hear, anyway. So it's even more of an accomplishment that Roth and the Van Halen brothers, the Hatfields and McCoys of dead-eyed '80s uber-metal, have (a) actually recorded an album of new material and (b) managed to do so without killing each other.
"Different Truth" is keyed more towards the frenetic, adrenal whomp of the first two "Van Halen" albums than to the synthy Top 40 buzz of later hits such as "Jump." It's a hard rock album with the flimsiest of melodic pop underpinnings, not, as was once the band's wont, the other way around. It finds its groove as it goes along and ends up better than it started, mostly because it started with "Tattoo," the lukewarm and awkward first single that's a record company lifer's idea of What The Kids Are Listening To.
The Van Halen brothers are still impossibly good at all the things they used to be good at, Roth slightly worse. His voice, once a gymnastic wonder, now seems more comfortable on heavy numbers in lower registers, which, coincidentally or not, is where much of "Truth" resides. He seems a strange creation now, a flashier and hollower Almost Dave, less resembling the original David Lee Roth than a DLR impersonator the Van Halens met one night at a strip club.
Most songs exert a strong nostalgic pull. "Stay Frosty," an acoustic blues track that segues into a hard rock number, exists for no other reason than to remind everyone how great its early analog, "Ice Cream Man," still sounds. Some songs are actually from their early days: The slight "She's the Woman," somehow both volcanic and fluffy, is one of several first-rate tracks reworked from pre-fame demos.
"Truth" is serviceable in some places, as great as could be hoped for in others, and probably bound for an ignoble fate either way. Present-day fans will use even its best songs as an opportunity to visit the arena's concession stand between versions of "Runnin' With the Devil" and "Hot for Teacher." Future generations will see it as a curiosity, a souvenir from that brief, shining moment (six months? A year?) when Van Halen and Diamond Dave were back together and no one pressed charges.
Van Halen will perform March 28 at Verizon Center.
