Mom will give birth to terminally ill daughter to donate her organs
(STORYFUL) - When Royce and Keri Young of Oklahoma City learned that their unborn baby girl, Eva, had anencephaly, meaning she was not properly developing a brain or skull, they made the difficult choice to carry her to term in order to donate her organs.
In a series of Facebook posts, the couple each explained their thoughts and feelings, said they were "pro-life" and that donating their daughter's organs would be very important.
"[After the presidential debates] I immediately messaged a few of my closest friends because I wanted their thoughts," said Keri in a Facebook post. "We all agreed, we're pro-life at any stage of life. My exact words were, "If I were put in this position, I'd want that baby alive and healthy for as long as possible. So if that means carrying the baby to 40 weeks, I'd take it. And from a practical standpoint, organs! I'd love knowing my baby's heart was still beating, even in another baby's body."
Royce echoed her words in his own post: "We made our choice to carry Eva to full term for a lot of reasons, but the first and foremost was to donate her organs. We don't say that to try and sound like great people or anything. It was just a practical endgame that in our minds, before we came to the realization Eva is alive and our daughter deserves to meet her mama and daddy, gave us a purpose to continue on."

STEFY Bull has taken a gloves on approach to prepare Gavin McDonnell for his next fight.
The Mexborough-based trainer and former fighter has had to dust off his old gloves and headguard to ready Gavin, Jamie's twin brother, for his upcoming fight.
Unbeaten Gavin, aged 25, will fight Glaswegian Ryan McNicol at the Doncaster Dome on Saturday November 4. With McNicol being a southpaw, Gavin has had to get used to opponents coming in at different angles, so Bull, a former lightweight southpaw who once fought Amir Khan has had to take a few beatings.
He told The Star: "The last time I did a bit with Gav I was going home with black eyes, busted noses and chipped teeth!
"It's never once crossed my mind to fight again. I get all my enjoyment out of training these lads and I sometimes have to do a bit of helping out sometimes.
"We do have a southpaw in Connor, but he's totally different to everyone else so it wouldn't be much use in using him, so I'm going to be in the firing line."
There's added pressure on Gavin considering his brother's achievements, but he's performed well in his three bouts so far and is enjoying life as a pro.
"It's all about building up the experience for me at this stage," said Gavin
"Jamie is the reason I got back into boxing because I saw how well he was doing and I thought I'd best get back in and give it another crack before it was too late. I'm really enjoying it at the minute. The gym's buzzing and I'm in here six days a week and competing against Jamie."
Bull is happy with the way Gavin is developing and plans on getting him in an area title shot against Wayne Bloy, an opponent Jamie beat in 2006 and 2007.
"The way he's coming along I wouldn't be afraid of putting him in a title fight next year."

If you're a HIMSS member and reading this site then you know – electronic health information (EHR) are enmeshed with the long term of care supply and administration. It is a little bit better than fifty:fifty that your firm has adopted an EHR maybe you've even attested to Phase 1 Meaningful Use.
I do not have to go out on a limb to suspect that you or your group has put in substantial money, time and resources on EHR selection and implementation.
Right after all of that –
- Has your EHR program truly additional price?
- Has your program aided you?
And most importantly,
3. Is your digital well being record offering you the results it ought to?
Numerous companies have only ever employed 1 EHR system this can make it far more demanding – but not impossible – to identify an under-carrying out EHR.
Subsequent are some of the essential concerns you should to inquire of your present EHR:
- Is my EHR achieving the needs of federal Significant Use actions? Is it confirmed to secure incentives?
- Is my vendor nimble and responsive enough to satisfy the modifications connected with well being care reform – the two anticipated and unexpected?
- Does my EHR provide a enough return on expenditure with regards to the two scientific and fiscal advantages?
- Can my practice's leadership be confident that they will not want to get a new EHR in the following five several years simply because their remedy has turn out to be out of date?
- Has my vendor invested in their product to aid me do well, or are they basically charging me for what they require to produce for everybody?
If the answer to any of the earlier mentioned is 'no' then it's time to evaluate other choices.
HIMSS is providing one particular possibility to 'shop' for a Meaningful Use-qualified, HIMSS-competent vendor – Meaningful Use Experience at HIMSS13 in New Orleans gives attendees a opportunity to examine diverse EHR options, facet-by-side.
Consider about bringing the above inquiries with you to ask (obstacle) each and every seller.

A contemporary forgery* of a late medieval English penny.
The die-cutter's lack of skill is evident in the standard of engraving, and the legends have been completely flattened, possibly to hide his illiteracy. The coin appears to be made of reasonably good silver, but is considerably underweight, possibly an indication that the raw material was sourced from clippings taken from genuine coins.
The coin seemingly imitates a York penny of the mid 14th to mid 15th century, as the quatrefoil on the reverse has a pellet in the centre, but it isn't possible to attribute it to a particular reign. The obverse, with saltires by the crown and an annulet on the breast, is not a combination found on any official coin. An annulet on the breast, alone, occurs on various York pennies of the fourth coinage of Edward III, and light coinage pennies of Henry IV, but the saltires were possibly inspired by a leaf-mascle issue penny of Henry VI (Spink 1867).
Certain Irish pennies of Edward IV have a similar reverse type with a pelleted quatrefoil at the centre, but none have been traced with the obverse marks of the present coin.
* An alternative possibility is that the coin is a severely mis-struck York penny of the light coinage of Henry IV (Spink 1734). This could account for the misalignment of the cross and elements of the quatrefoil on the reverse, and the apparent marks by the crown on the obverse.

Family Planning as 'Liberation': The Ambiguities of 'Emancipation From Biology' in Keralam

Preview and best bets for this week's St. Jude Classic tournament in Memphis
The PGA Tour heads to Memphis this week as TPC Southwind hosts the St. Jude Classic.
By Mark Kendall - Twitter: @SkySportsMK
Last Updated: 04/06/14 7:33pm
Originally called the Memphis Open, the tournament came into existence in 1958 and, since 1989, has been played at TPC Southwind.
Renowned as one of the toughest lay-outs on Tour, it is the seventh year in a row the event has directly preceded the US Open with the course's small, tough-to-hit greens providing an ideal preparation for the major challenge that follows.
Designed by architect Ron Prichard, with players Hubert Green and Fuzzy Zoeller serving as consultants, TPC Southwind was further toughened up in 2004 when numerous trees and bunkers were added, and the par-five 5th hole converted to a par-four (reducing the par to 70).
The field includes former champions Harris English (2013), Dustin Johnson (2012), Lee Westwood (2010) amongst others, as well as a couple of men who have won the title twice in recent times Justin Leonard (2005 & 2008) and David Toms (2003 & 2004).
TPC Southwind is a par 70 that measures in at just over 7,200 yards with water in play on ten holes, perhaps most famously on the 18th - an intimidating closing par-four (just ask Robert Garrigus!) where the hazard runs all the way down the left side of the fairway.
As well as challenging small greens, which have been changed from Bentgrass to Bermuda, the fairways are also some of the hardest to hit on Tour.
With that in mind, driving accuracy, greens in regulation and proximity to the hole are three key statistics, while par-four performance is always worth looking at on layouts with 12 of them, as Southwind has.
Winning scores
This has varied wildly down the years from John Cook's -26 in 1996 to Justin Leonard's -4 as recently as 2008. Unsurprisingly winning totals have been noticeably higher since the course was toughened up in 2004, as witnessed by Leonard's score, although 2009 champion Brian Gay posted an impressive -18. Last year -12 was enough for Harris English to claim a two-stroke victory.

Two former champions head the betting heat in the shape of Dustin Johnson (14/1) and Lee Westwood (16/1), with Phil Mickelson alongside the latter at 16s.
Johnson, who can't quite seem to locate his A-game at present, and Mickelson, without a top-10 all season, are easy enough to dismiss, while Westwood does not make great appeal at the price given how often he wins.
However, while also short enough at 20s, there is reason enough to believe that defending champion Harris English is poised to click back into top gear.
Held up as the next breakthrough American talent after two wins in the space of five months last year, the 24-year-old has gone quiet in recent times and seen Jordan Spieth usurp him as the media's new young darling.
But, after missed cuts at the Players and Byron Nelson, English shows signs of life at Colonial with T30 finish and will relish his return to TPC Southwind which plays right into the hands of an long, accurate left-to-righter.
While defending a title and all that entails off the course can often hinder a player, English has the game and temperament to handle it and is fancied to go well again at venue that throws up repeat winners.
On the topic of repeat winners, David Toms stands out as a sporty bet this week given his course record and current form.
Although the second of his wins here was a decade ago now, Toms clearly has an affinity with the place, finished fifth at Colonial last time out and will head to Memphis in high spirits having also secured US Open qualification earlier this week.
At 50/1 he's worth a go... and a similar argument could be made for Justin Leonard (125/1) who shares similar course memories and also played his way into Pinehurst this week.
After a standout year in 2013 that included his first PGA Tour win, Billy Horschel has gone rather quiet this time around.
But this excellent ball-striker has dropped hints in the past couple of weeks that he is not far away and, following a tenth-placed finish at this venue last year, could well continue his improvement this week.
Often his Achilles heel, his putting has been much more convincing in his past couple of outings and a hot week with the flatstick here should see him contend at a test that suits.
Finally Luke Guthrie looks well worth an interest at 60/1 after recovering from a disappointing opening 75 with rounds of 69, 66 and 70 to finish in a tie for eighth at Memorial last week.
Add in the fact he finished T19 via a sponsor's invite at TPC Southwind on his first look at the course in 2012 and is another to have enjoyed the boost of US Open qualification this week and he looks a decent wager.
Best bets (All prices with Sky Bet)
2pts e.w. Harris English at 20/1 (1/4 1,2,3,4,5)
1pt e.w. Billy Horschel at 33/1 (1/4 1,2,3,4,5)
1pt e.w. David Toms at 50/1 (1/4 1,2,3,4,5)
1pt e.w. Luke Guthrie at 60/1 (1/4 1,2,3,4,5)

I was doing some reading online last night and I read something that alarmed me: There are over 5 million unclaimed economic stimulus checks currently held by the IRS. A large percentage of those are held by military veterans whose primary source of income is VA benefits or Social Security checks.
But there is a problem… many people whose sole source income comes from Social Security or VA benefits are not required to file taxes with the IRS every year. The problem is that the only way to receive the economic stimulus rebate is to file taxes with the IRS. Many people who are eligible for the stimulus rebate have not received it because they did not file taxes, because they are not normally required to do so. If you know anyone who may be in this situation, please do them a favor and let them know they might be eligible for a rebate.
The stimulus check was automatically sent out to qualifying tax filers, but if you have not yet received your rebate, check, there is still time.
How to claim your stimulus check
First, make sure you filed your taxes. You will not receive a stimulus check if you do not file taxes.
Second, learn when you should receive your rebate. The best way to do this is to use the official stimulus payment tracker provided by the IRS web site. You will need to have information from your 2007 tax return, so be sure to have that handy when you use this online tool.
Third, check for reasons that may delay your rebate check. There may be legitimate reasons for receiving your economic stimulus payment late, or for not receiving it at all.
- If you filed your taxes late, your rebate check will be delayed. Expect a 2-6 week delay if you filed your taxes late. You must file by Oct. 15th 2008 to receive a rebate this year.
- Your stimulus rebate check was garnished. Your check can be garnished by the Treasury Offset Program. If your money was scheduled to be garnished, you should have received a notice. Reasons can include unpaid child support, back taxes, or student loans.
- You PCS'd or changed addresses. The IRS will not forward rebate checks, so you need to notify them if you moved. You should file a Form 8822 with the IRS, and a change of address notice with the U.S. Postal Service.
Fourth, contact the IRS. If all else fails, contact the people who know best. Try calling the IRS at 1-866-234-2942. Again, be patient. IRS workers are receiving hundreds of calls daily, and need time to process your information. You will get much better results if you are friendly with the agent handling your claim.
Fifth, have patience. Above all else, be prepared to wait. The checks acan take anywhere from 2-6 weeks to be sent out. In addition, IRS agents are handling hundreds of calls daily, so be patient with them.

Muchas gracias! Since I´m from Spain I was able to read perfectly this La Pequeña Audrey story. This was published by La Prensa, a major Mexican comic book publisher during the 50´s and 60´s which translated other Harvey characters as well, such as Gasparin (Casper), Pil-Dorita (Little Dot), Flamita (Hot Stuff) and others.
By the way, Jerry, I am awaiting anxiously that Casper book reprinting his earliest stories! Hopefully this will be successful enough to issue a further volume reprinting other Famous/Harvey characters (Little Audrey,Baby Huey, Buzzy, etc.) vintage comic book stories.

3:53pm 3rd December 2012
(Updated 3:54pm 3rd December 2012)
Police are appealing for the return of a gnome who has gone missing from a garden in Thirsk.
Officers say the pink-faced gnome, who wears a red hat, was stolen from outside a property on Dowber Court sometime between 9.30am and 12.30pm on Saturday 1 December 2012.
They add that he is fitted with a sensor which detects motion, and wolf whistles when someone walks past.
Officers are appealing to anyone with information about the theft to come forward.
PC Adam Gatenby, of Thirsk Safer Neighbourhood Team, said: "The owner is very upset by this theft and would very much like to get her gnome back.
"The gnome is not expensive but it holds great sentimental value to her and I am appealing to anyone who can help the investigation to contact the police or Crimestoppers as soon as possible.
Anyone who can help officers with their enquiries is urged to contact North Yorkshire Police on 101 – select option 2 – and ask for Adam Gatenby or Thirsk police.
If you wish to remain anonymous, Crimestoppers can be contacted anonymously on 0800 555 111.
Please quote reference number 1212020762 when passing information about this incident.

Getting weather forecast...
DescriptionThe Lake Atitlán area lies in the southwestern region of Guatemala. With a surface area of approximately 125 square kilometers and a depth of about 400m at the center, the lake and surrounding region is perhaps one of the most picturesque in Central America. It has been selected as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. The word "atitlan" is a Mayan word that translates as "the place where the rainbow gets its colors." Indigenous communities live around the lake and more than forty archaeological sites have been identified.
The lakes formation is as dramatic as its beauty. Lake Atitlan was formed by an immense volcanic explosion 85,000 years ago. Like Pompeii and Mt. St. Helen, volcanic pressure was released with devastating results. The explosion at Mt. St. Helen released 2 cu. kilometers of rock and ash, Pompeii blew out 6 cu. kilometers. Atitlan discharged over 180 cu. kilometers of hot ash and rock. An immense hole was left in the earth's crust, causing Atitlan to be one of the deepest lakes in Central America. Atitlan is unique in that it is a fresh water lake with no river outlet. Mornings at the lake are usually characterized by a calm, clear surface. However, in the afternoons, the xocomil, the "wind that carries away sin" rises up and makes travel on the lake treacherous.
Continued volcanic activity formed the three volcanoes that today surround the lake: Tolimán (3,158m/10,361 ft), Atitlán (3,557m/11,670 ft), and San Pedro (3,020m/9,908 ft). These volcanoes are joined by Cerro Chicul or Santa Clara peak (2282m/7,487 ft) and, on the western shore, Cerro San Marcos (2,538m/8,327 ft.) and Cerro Cristalino (1,712m/ 5,617 ft), subsidiary cones of the three volcanoes. See the topo maps below for more details on the peaks surrounding Atitlan.
Communities and Villages
Thirteen towns or villages lie on the perimeter of the lake, mainly inhabited by traditional Mayan peoples with a sprinkling of foreign settlers. Below is a short introduction to a few of them.
Panajachel (or Pana) is the town that most tourists visit. The complete name of this town is San Francisco Panajachel. It is a pre-Columbian settlement of Kakchiquel origin founded on the Panajachel river and at the lake's edge. It was the scene of the final battle between the Spaniards and their Kakchiquel allies against the Tzutujiles, and the site at which Franciscan friars founded a convent.
Pana is a great place to hang out and visit the local market. You can usually get whatever you need here in the way of supplies. Pana is full of restaurants, hotels, and tourists. It's a good starting place if you want to go visit other towns by boat.
Santiago Atitlan was the original capital of the Tzutujil Mayans. Built on the slopes of Volcan Toliman and Atitlán, is it surrounded on three sides by water and faces Volcán San Pedro across a small bay.
A unique blend of Mayan and Catholic religious beliefs and practices evolved in this village. The "Atitecos" ask "brujos" or witch doctors to beseech Mayan gods for help when they are sick or need rain while Catholic priests conduct services just as they would in Spain.
One of these gods, Maximom is part evil saint, part pagan idol and is said to be a combination of San Simón, Judas Iscariot and Pedro de Alvarado, the conquistador. He likes to drink alcohol and smoke cigars and cigarettes. Offerings of cigarettes, beer, or a few Quetzales are appreciated. There are many theories as to his origin, but over time he has evolved into deity who can cure illnesses and also bring misfortune to his enemies.
Maximom lives in someones home for a year. Every year during Samana Santa (Easter week) there is a big procession and then he moves into a new home. Its easy to find Maximom, just ask any child where he lives. For a small tip they will be happy to introduce you.
San Pedro is one of the two Tzutujil speaking villages on the lake, the other being Santiago Atitlan. If you are looking for something a bit less touristy, but still offers good lodging options and a places to eat (especially great Vegetarian food), then San Pedro is a good choice. San Pedro La Laguna attracts the greatest number of tourists after Panajachel and Santiago Atitlán, almost all of them young backpackers. The hotels and restaurants here are some of the cheapest in the country, and if you plan to climb Volcán San Pedro, this is the ideal base for an early-morning start.
Not many people stop in the Tz'utujil village of San Juan La Laguna. This makes it a great place to get away from the crowds and get a more authentic look at life on the lake. There are several artisan collectives in the town's center including a weaving co-op run by the village women. Their work is of the finest quality.The village is located a few km north of San Pedro.
Surrounded by fruit trees, San Marcos La Laguna is known for its tranquil atmosphere. It attracts travelers who are looking for a peaceful spot to relax and center down. The town is most famous as the home of the Pyramid Center which is a magnet for meditating and alternative therapy enthusiasts. So if you practice Yoga, Reiky, or meditation, this is an ideal place to visit.
San Antonio Palopó, another 5 km from Santa Catarina Palopó, is a larger farming village and the bursts of color from traditional Mayan dress and the lively weekend markets are no less alluring. This is one of only a handful of regions in Latin America where men still dress in traditional costumes on a daily basis. Tunecos, as they call themselves, raise onions and anise in terraced fields extending up from the lake, which give the landscape a sculptural look.
A Word of Caution
Lake Atitlan is a tremendously popular place to visit. The beauty of the lake, the color of the markets, and the unique culture of the Maya draw all sorts of people. As a result, crime is on the rise in this region. Robberies have become fairly common and violent crime is increasing. If you decide to climb the Atitlan volcanoes, you should take a local guide, not because you may get lost, but because it reduces your chances of getting robbed and it helps the local economy.
Getting ThereAlthough Lake Atitlan is only 40 miles West of Guatemala City, curving roads and mountainous volcanic terrain result in about 100 miles of road and over 3 hours of driving time. The towns of Panajachel and Santiago Atitlan are the two primary arrival points on Lake Atitlan. They can be reached by bus, shuttle, or driving.
Buses leave for Atitlan from the capital on an hourly basis from the Rebuli in zone 1. Fare to Lake Atitlan will generally run about $10 per person, and will take 3-4.5 hours. For details on specific carriers, go to my page Getting Around in Guatemala.
Guatemala has a number of door-to-door shuttle services that service Guatemala City, Antigua, Panajachel, and Santiago Atitlan. These shuttles will meet you at the airport or your hotel and drive you directly to your destination (usually picking up a few more passengers along the way) in a van-sized vehicle with reasonable seating. They typically cost about $25 per person from Guatemala City to Panajachel.
If you are driving, you have a choice of routes. The highland route offers incredible vistas and some interesting scenery through wild windy roads. The coastal route provides straight well-maintained roads through the sugar-cane growing coastal plain of Guatemala, until finally climbing the back of the Lake Atitlan volcanic basin. Both routes take a little over three hours to reach Santiago Atitlan from the capital.

Lily Allen is hiring extra police officers to patrol at her wedding to builder Sam Cooper in Cranham, Gloucestershire, on June 11.
Lily Allen is hiring extra police for her wedding.
The 'Smile' hitmaker - who is set to tie the knot with her builder partner Sam Cooper in Gloucestershire, South West England, on June 11 - is bringing in the additional protection in order to keep any troublemaking to a minimum.
A police spokesman said: "The couple agreed to pay for extra officers. They will ensure minimal disruption."
Lily and Sam's wedding is set to take place in The Village of Cranham, near Stroud, and the main road around the area will be closed, although residents will be given passes for access.
The 26-year-old singer will celebrate her nuptials by spending her honeymoon with Sam, 32, in luxury £1,000 tepees in the backstage VIP area at the Glastonbury Festival - and event organiser Michael Eavis has vowed to make their Celebration "special".
He said: "Lily's coming down for her honeymoon. We'll look after her, I'll set her up a special tent - she'll get well treated.
"I'm going to the wedding in Gloucestershire. I've known her since she was tiny. She's such a star isn't she? I'm really looking forward to her wonderful wedding."


text: I have been making this pizza for a while now and it is a big hit with everyone who is brave enough to try it. Most make funny faces when they hear the ingredients but they work together well. I made a small one hear for the girlfriend to try the other day and it turned out great and is now being requested to be made again tonight but in a bigger version. Toppings are alfredo sauce pinched sausage cooked up sauerkraut (fresh home made) dill pickle slices pinches of cream cheese mozzarella cheese

First Look: Adrien Brody in Dario Argento's Horror 'Giallo'
by Kevin Powers
May 19, 2008
Source: ShockTillYouDrop.com
Renowned Italian horror filmmaker, Dario Argento, has officially started production on his next project - Giallo. And thanks to STYD, we have a first look at some of the film's leads, Adrien Brody and creepy exotic, Emmanuelle Seigner (The Ninth Gate). For those of us that have an acquaintance to Italian culture that extends beyond food, you know that "giallo" actually means "yellow", which is the both the name of the film's killer and the genre of Italian literature that Argento has so skillfully brought to the screen over many, many years -- the name is derived from the original stories' yellow paperbacks. But enough history, here's the eye-candy.
Photos removed at the request of the production company.
Last we saw Brody was sans goattee and donning head bandages in Wes Anderson's The Darjeeling Limited. While that film was certainly cool in its own right, I prefer the Academy Award-winning actor in thrillers like The Village or The Jacket. Of course, he didn't win the award for those films, but his dramatic depth transfers really well to scary genres. In Giallo, Brody plays an Italian investigator that pairs up with Seigner's character in search of the latter's missing sister, who has been abducted by a serial killer known as Yellow. And no, this isn't the same lemon-colored villain from Sin City.
Rumor had it that Ray Liotta was to be cast in Brody's roll. If that had actually happened, my interest in the film would probably be much less. Liotta has an interesting appeal, sure, but after seeing him in Revolver, for instance, I find it hard to take him seriously nowadays. As for Seigner, I can't say I've followed much of her work as of late, but she was pretty devilish in Ninth Gate. No update on who will play Yellow, after it was previously announced that indie regular Vincent Gallo had been cast but is no longer with the project.
With so much buying and selling of film happening around Cannes right now and Brody serving as executive producer, I think we might start to hear more about Argento's latest.

Senator John Walsh is fighting to help ensure land management agencies receive more resources to fight fire suppression and hazardous fuel reduction.
Walsh is supporting the Wildfire Disaster Funding Act amendment to the Bipartisan Sportsmen's Act of 2014 the Senate is currently considering.
Under current law land management agencies are forced to borrow from other accounts to pay for fire suppression. The Wildfire Disaster Funding Act treats catastrophic wildfires like other major natural disasters for funding purposes, which prevents emergency wildfire spending from draining conservation and forest management programs that can help prevent future fires.
"This is a great example of Democrats and Republicans coming together to support our firefighters and protect our communities," Walsh said. "It is our responsibility to ensure we create a stable budget and adequately fund our firefighters to the levels they need."
Wildfire management costs are rising 22 percent each year and are taking up an increasing share of the Forest Service's budget.
Walsh, a 33-year veteran of the Montana National Guard, coordinated wildfire response efforts in the summer of 2000 when over one million acres of Montana's forest were ablaze.
The Wildlife Disaster Funding Act would:
· Classify extreme wildfires as natural disasters, enabling the use of federal emergency dollars to fund excessive suppression costs
· Prevent disruptive funding transfers, restoring functionality to vital forestry management, fire prevention, and conservation programs
· Establish clear criteria on what suppression activities merit funding under the disaster cap
· Create a more stable budget strategy to manage wildfire prevention programs

Fewer Chinese Cities' New Home Prices Rise
SHANGHAI—Prices of newly built homes in 50 of the 70 large and medium-sized Chinese cities covered in a government survey rose in May from the previous month, down from 56 cities in April, indicating the central government's tightening efforts are gradually beginning to show marginal success in certain parts of the country.
Residential property price growth has moderated in some major cities after the government took a series of steps to deflate a property bubble and curb real-estate speculation, though some investors have turned to buying homes further inland where the measures are less harsh, boosting demand and prices in these second- and third-tier cities.
Prices of newly built homes in 67 of the 70 cities covered by the survey rose in May from a year earlier, unchanged from the 67 recorded in April and March, and lower than the 68 recorded in both January and February, the National Bureau of Statistics said in a statement Saturday.
Among major cities, Beijing's newly built home prices rose 0.1% in May from April, when prices rose 0.1% from the previous month. Meanwhile, newly built home prices in Shanghai rose 0.2% in May from a month earlier, slower than April's 0.3% month-on-month increase, the bureau said.
"Prices are still up in 50 cities, indicating that the government won't loosen its tightening stance," said Jinsong Du, a Credit Suisse analyst, adding that monetary tightening measures such as increases in interest rates and banks' reserve requirement ratios, which aren't directly aimed at the real estate market, will be more effective in bringing down prices.
Mr. Du added he foresees a more subdued private property market for the next two to three years and said he expects prices to decline 5%-10% this year from a year earlier.
Since January 2010, policy planners have introduced administrative and monetary tightening measures to curb speculation, including raising down-payment requirements on mortgages for second homes to 60% from 40% and raising the amount of cash banks must hold in reserve 12 times, essentially reducing the amount of money that banks can lend.
May is the fifth month for which China has released house price data for individual cities, after scrapping a monthly index of average property prices in 70 large and medium-sized cities.
"A Hong Kong-listed property developer told me yesterday that while credit conditions are tighter than what he had experienced during the downturn in 2008, sales have yet to decline to levels seen at that time," said Johnson Hu, a property analyst from CIMB-GK Securities. "Larger, listed developers are likely to pull through this period of reduced credit, but the small and mid-sized ones could face major financing difficulties."
Ratings agency Standard and Poor's on Tuesday downgraded its outlook for China's property development sector to negative from stable due to a tightening of credit conditions in the country and slower sales. In April, Moody's Investors Service lowered its rating on China's property sector to negative from stable on concerns that rising interest rates and reduced bank lending would dampen demand.
Fitch Ratings said Wednesday it is maintaining a stable outlook for the Chinese real-estate sector based on the general macroeconomic outlook, but couldn't rule out the possibility of standalone ratings revision of individual property developers.

Jack Black appreciates his wife more as he gets older.
The 45-year-old actor, who has been married to 43-year-old musician Tanya Haden for nine years, is happy to be in a committed relationship and says her "warmth" helps to keep him alive.
The 'D Train' star said: "As we mature, I've found there's a coldness to wandering the streets looking for different lovers every night. The warmth of my one true love keeps me alive."
Jack also has a close bond with their two sons, Samuel, eight, and Thomas, six, and loves going on adventures with them.
He told PEOPLE magazine: "I just went on a camping trip with my older son to Joshua Tree. It was our first one, and it was just us and the elements. I was definitely feeling some inner peace and happiness there."
Despite his larger than life persona, the comedian admits he fears public humiliation.
The 'School of Rock' star explained: "Fear is good. It keeps us alive. My biggest fear is probably public humiliation. There's a tremendous amount of terror before every performance, which is strange because it's the path I've chosen."

It's official: We all spend more time browsing the web on our mobile devices than desktops. It's further proof that mobility will continue to play a dominant role in our lives, whether at home or at work.
But there's got to be a more simple, secure way to manage all these new devices and apps in the workplace, right? Here are five signs your business desperately needs a digital workspace platform.
5 Signs You Need a Digital Workspace
- Employees work on their personal smartphones, tablets and laptops—even if discouraged. Most employees (60%) prefer to work on a personal device, and close to one-in-three employees will work on their personal device, even if it goes against your company's policy.
- IT cannot identify every device and app accessing the corporate network. This is critical to address because by next year, an estimated half of employers may require employees to bring their own device (BYOD) for work. Many organizations already support BYOD (72%) on some level but lack effective means to control access to corporate data (only 14% use mobile application management).
- Employees download apps for work that are not vetted by IT. An average small-to-medium-sized business (SMB) uses about 14 cloud apps (the average SMB employee works on six). For enterprises: about 917 cloud apps are in play across the organization. That's a lot of apps, and about 91% of these downloaded apps are not enterprise-ready.
- Employees cannot perform key tasks on mobile devices. Most global businesses (70%) understand that making core apps and business processes mobile can be a competitive advantage. In fact, modernizing and extending the capabilities of core enterprise apps rank as top IT project priorities. Mobility is critical. However, only 20% have successfully transitioned a core business process to a mobile model.
- Your company depends solely on in-house developers to supply mobile apps for line-of-business needs. Users are demanding more and more apps, but IT won't be able to deliver them all on their own. Demand for enterprise mobile apps will grow five times faster than IT's capacity to deliver.
Clearly, IT needs simple, secure ways to control access to corporate data without managing devices, as well as build, deliver and manage enterprise-ready apps. Here it is: VMware Workspace ONE.

The people you love the most… besides each other
Aaron's Picks:
I made the mistake of reading what Heather wrote about wedding parties before doing it myself. So now you get this. Wedding Parties are like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get. Okay, I apologize for that. I really have a blast with the groups because by the wedding day, our couples know we're crazy, know that we're likely to put you someplace strange, ect. By the end you'll either love us or hate us, but at least you'll be in a couple cool images. Like these. Enjoy.
Heather's Picks:
There's no good way to sum up wedding parties. They're always a mixed bag and you never know what you're going to get until the day of the wedding. We're lucky because most of our laid back clients have equally laid back friends. And that means we can ask them to do sometimes strange things to get some great images.
I do have to say that I love, love my top pick. If we were narrowing the entire year to 10 images total, this would be high on my list.

December 1, 2010 at 1:41 pm #2420
In my portfolio section I simply want to show an image of a project and a very brief bit of text relating to it. Is there a way I can remove the "read more" button that links to a sperate page for each portfolio entry?
i.e. I do not want a new page created for each portfolio entry plus I want to remove the "read more" button from beside each entry on the portfolio homepage…hope this makes sense!December 1, 2010 at 4:52 pm #37920
open up template_portfolio.php and search for following code:
echo "".__('Read more','avisio')."";
Replace it with:
You can't delete the portfolio pages though.December 1, 2010 at 5:07 pm #37921
Thanks Dude – will implement this tomorrow. – Will just block the portfolio pages from the search engines and that will be ok – users will have no other way to get to them anyway once the read more link is gone.
Thanks again!December 2, 2010 at 7:41 am #37922August 18, 2011 at 1:34 pm #37923
How about only removing the read more button from selected portfolio entries?
Thanks.August 18, 2011 at 2:01 pm #37924
what do you mean with "selected"? Do you refer to single portfolio entries (which are displayed after you click on "read more") or do you want to remove the read more button for some portfolio entries only?August 18, 2011 at 2:28 pm #37925
I'd like to remove the 'read more' button underneath some portfolio entries only. See http://bht-design.org.uk/portfolio/ – I'd like to remove the button underneath the 'sussedPR' entry, as I really don't have a post's worth of info relating to this.
Thanks.August 18, 2011 at 3:41 pm #37926
This can be done with post meta. In template_portfolio.php replace:
echo "".__('Read more','avisio')."";
if ( ! get_post_meta($post->ID, "deactivate_permalink", true)){
echo "".__('Read more','avisio')."";
and set a post meta entry (with the id "deactivate_permalink" and any value – i.e. "yes" or "1") for all portfolio entries which shouldn't display a read more link.August 23, 2011 at 2:51 pm #37927
Works an absolute treat. Many many thanks for your excellent support with this theme! :-)August 23, 2011 at 3:34 pm #37928January 24, 2012 at 2:27 am #37929
Oh gosh. i want to remove the read more on all portfolio images (see http://lukbeautifood.com.au/archives/portfolio-item/beautifood-infobite-lemon) BUT i have no idea about code. I don't even know where to find it. Help please ;) PS – site looking tres gorg after re-build!

Green Lake, Wisconsin Wedding Photography of Krista and Cody
On the final day of April I headed down to the Heidel House in Green Lake for the first of 8 weddings I have there this year. You could say they take care of me. April weddings in Wisconsin can be tricky. In the spring you could have snow, rain or hot and sunny. In the three weddings I photographed this month I had all three of those weather conditions. Our day started off at Evensong Spa which is the spa/salon part of the Heidel House. There Krista and her maid of honor got their hair and makeup done. Then after the dresses and tuxes were put on the ceremony was to be outside on Grey Rock Lawn right on the lake. The rain told us not to and the ceremony was held in the Dartford Ballroom. After the ceremony there was a break in the rain which allowed us to do all of the portraits outside. Then just as the formal family pictures finished it started raining again. Talk about good timing! The dinner and dancing were also held in the Dartford Ballroom.

I closed my eyes and let my index finger do all the work, picking the next city for exploration on this trip. Metz. I had never even heard of this eastern city in the Lorraine region of France, let alone seen any images of the place itself so I had no idea what to expect. Upon entering the stretch of road into the city, I was met with a thick heavy fog, inducing an overpowering eerie feel, much like that portrayed in the Silent Hill franchise. But have no fear, which was the one and only fearful element of this beautiful city.

Harness the power of paint to instantly transform all of the spaces in your home. Discover the newest trends in paint and color for 2010 from Benjamin Moore's color expert, Sonu Mathew.
Bold Bedroom Brushstrokes
MHI: Color can do so much to set the tone for our day-to-day lives. The tones on our bedroom walls are the first shades we see when we wake up, and the last colors we see before we drift off to dreamland. What do you suggest when it comes to brushstrokes in the boudoir?
SM: Master bedrooms are often a neglected space when it comes to color and design. A quick coat of paint can transform your bedroom from forgotten to unforgettable. I prefer using deep, dramatic, and saturated colors in a bedroom that create a sense of rapture. A few examples of colors I love are Spiced Pumpkin, Deep Ocean, Chelsea Gray, and Caponata.

Ribbon Tie Inspiration
Posted 4th March 2015
Save to My Favourites
<<Prev Next>>
No longer resigned to girly girls, the ribbon tie has had a style remodel of late, neatly dressing up the tresses of models on the runways of Chanel, as well as glossy manes of the A-List.
Keep the look more cool-girl than school-girl by opting for a low pony, either dishevelled or sleek, and accessorising it with a simple twist of black silk to give this straightforward look an air of nonchalance. A modern take on a tried-and-tested up-do, team with an edgy, contrasting motorcycle jacket to be top of the class.

My aunt Rose (one of my mother's sisters) married Joseph Zielinsky who died of a brain tumor.

The Prime Minister Lyonchhen Tshering Tobgay and Labour and Human Resource Minister, Lyonpo Ngeema Sangay Chenpo met with the members of Employment Creation Task Force at the Gyalyong Tshogkhang this morning.
In the meeting, Lyonchhen thanked the members on behalf of Cabinet Ministers and the youth for dedicating their time and putting their voluntary efforts in preparing an extensive report towards creating employment opportunities for the Bhutanese jobseekers. However, Lyonchhen requested the members to revisit the report and try to further address the issue of providing jobs. For example - Should the government continue to be the main provided of jobs? Or should this responsibility be shared with private sector? Where are the opportunities for the government to create jobs? How we can use hydropower to create employment? etc. Lyonchhen also urged the members to look at the opportunities for self- employment by coming up with a list of areas in which our youth can venture into.
Lyonchhen said that investing in prospective areas such as Agriculture, Tourism, Hydropower, Information Technology, Self-Employment projects and the Private Sector was very crucial for the economy's growth. And in order to create employment opportunities in these areas especially the private sector, the economy should grow and for that we need investment, Lyonchhen said. Hence, Lyonchhen also asked the members to look at Foreign Direct Investments (FDI), Should we invite FDI or should we continue with the existing trend – Lyonchhen said.
The Employment Creation Task Force has twenty-eight members. With Hon'ble Layog Lyonpo as the Chairperson and the Chief Planning Officers and senior representatives from Ministries, Autonomous agencies, NGOs, Banks, Corporations, DHI, RUB, Khesar Gyelpo University of Medical Sciences, BoIC and BCCI.
Employment Creation Task Force
During the 11th FYP it is projected that about 120,000 jobseekers will be entering into the labour market. To achieve full employment (97.5%) during the 11th Plan, the economy has to create an additional 82,000 jobs, which means that the overall unemployment rate should be maintained at 2.5%.
Therefore, towards addressing the social and economic problems associated with unemployment in the country, the government has committed to achieve full employment, which means that 97.5 percent of the Bhutanese labour force will be gainfully employed. However, it was observed that due to sluggish economic growth during the past years, the desired objectives could not be achieved and during 2013, the overall unemployment rate rose to 2.9%.
Further, as revealed by the Labour Force Survey report 2013, that the youth unemployment rate was alarmingly registered at 9.6% which has become a serious concern to the government. In addition to this, as per the estimates made by the Ministry of Labour and Human Resources, the natural job creation by the economy would be only about 42,000. This indicates that in order to achieve the set target the government has to come up with alternative solutions to address the remaining 40,000 jobseekers. In light of the current scenario, the Cabinet has instructed the Ministry of Labour and Human Resources to take immediate steps in order to resolve this issue.
Subsequently, the Lhengye Zhungtshog, during its 68th session held on 10th March 2015, decided to form a special Task Force on Employment Creation (ECTF) as a forum to exchange mutual experiences and policy responses to the employment challenges faced by the country. It will be composed of Chief Planning Officers from Ministries, Autonomous Agencies, the DHI and the BCCI who will propose a set of strategies to promote job creation and economic growth as these two are very closely intertwined. The ECTF will conduct frank and productive discussions on important issues such as the need to promote economic growth to create quality jobs, youth employment and skills development, entrepreneurship, guaranteed employment and overseas employment.
The mandate of the Task Force on Employment Creation (ECTF) is to:
1. Carry out desk reviews of relevant documents such as Bhutan 2020, SGNH, 11FYP, LFS reports, Unemployed Youth Perception Report, National Employment Policy, 2013, Guidelines on Guaranteed Employment Program, Regulations on Recruitment and Selection Regulation on Overseas employment Program, etc. in order to understand the wide range of perspectives and practical problems of the Bhutanese labour markets and aimed at providing sound, practical and implementable strategies for quality job creation.
2. Recommend to the Cabinet, well-designed policy and program interventions to reduce unemployment.
3. Recommend Incentives to promote growth and create employment, such as the Credit Guarantee program , in order to support the proponents of small enterprises to have access to bank loans without collateral support.
4. Recommend to the Cabinet, necessary measures to be implemented in a comprehensive manner, to promote growth of SMEs, as SMEs are known to create large number of jobs.
5. Identify areas of new employment opportunities and issues regarding their viability and quality
6. Recommend to the Cabinet changes in the legislation if necessary, promotion of conducive working conditions, minimum wages and protection of labour interests and social security to improve the job quality and its security in the private sector.
7. Submit its views on the Overseas Employment Program and recommend strategies to enhance its effectiveness
8. Submit its views on the Guaranteed Employment Program and recommend strategies to improve its effectiveness.
While working towards achieving the above mandate, the ECTF must recognize that there is an urgent need to promote growth and generate jobs through appropriate labour market measures and fostering the creation of decent work and quality jobs to combat unemployment in the country. This involves several issues and a strong need for a multi-sectoral approach and commitments. The main issues that need to be looked into by the ECTF are:
i. The need for quality employment based on change in the supply of labour force,
ii. The need to create jobs, especially for youth
iii. The importance of establishing nationally determined social protection floors,
iv. The need to promote women focus employment
v. The need to understand that one agency alone cannot combat the growing unemployment and the whole nation must contribute to this effort.
In keeping with the mandate and above objectives, the Task Force must focus on the following key outcomes to be considered by the Cabinet:
? A set of practical and implementable recommendations on creation of quality jobs in the country.
? Recommendations on the Overseas Employment Program
? Recommendations on the Guaranteed Employment Program
? A set of recommendations on policy responses to meet the challenges of stimulating job creation
As directed, the Employment Creation Task Force was formed with Hon'ble Layog Lyonpo as the Chairperson and the Chief Planning Officers and senior representatives of the following organizations as members:
1. Ministry of Agriculture
2. Ministry of Education
3. Ministry of Works and Human Settlement
4. Ministry of Information and Communication
5. Ministry of Economic Affairs
6. Ministry of Labour and Human Resources
7. Ministry of Finance
8. Royal Civil Service Commission

Homeschooling Keeps Growing
July 1, 1996
The ranks of homeschooled children is rapidly growing. From 15,000 to 20,000 in the late 1970s, their numbers have grown to perhaps 600,000, with some estimates at more than one million. The trend is likely to continue as CD-ROMs, Internet services and educational networks allow scattered students access to specialized expertise. For example:
- Software publisher Corel has a classic books program that incorporates more than 3,500 unabridged literary works, video clips and hundreds of illustrations.
- The Clonlara School provides on-line support, resources and evaluations for more than 5,000 students worldwide for an annual tuition of $475 per family.
- Scholars' Online Academy links instructors and students all over the country in a college preparatory program that offers a core curriculum at prices ranging from $250 for one course to $1,120 for eight.
More than $300 billion is spent annually in the U.S. on education from kindergarten through grade 12. Hal Clarke Inc., a publishing and market research firm, estimates that home school families spend about $1,500 a year on books, software, videos and educational materials.
There is evidence home school children get a better education than children in public schools. They consistently test above national norms on standardized tests, according to a researcher at the U.S. Department of Education.
On the other hand, a three-year Temple University study of 20,000 high school students found that one-third to 40 percent of them aren't trying very hard or paying attention in class.

Here are a number of basic sun protection tips to help reduce the risks of sun damage:
After a long cold winter it's hard not to shed our layers and bask in the glorious heat of the sun and to shower our skin in the warmth of its rays. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't take any precautions. Everyone knows that too much sun exposure can be harmful, to our eyes, your skin, to our youthful appearance and to our health.
- Limit sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
- Seek shade. If there is no shade, create your own with an umbrella.
- Wear a wide-brimmed hat and clothing that covers your arms and legs.
- Wear sunglasses that provide UVA and UVB protection.
- Apply sunscreen with SPF 15 or higher. Look for a broad-spectrum product that provides protection against both UVA and UVB rays. Choose a higher SPF if you will be spending longer periods of time outdoors, if you have fair skin, or if your doctor recommends it.
- Women who are pregnant and those taking oral contraceptives may be at risk for darker pigmentation on the cheeks and forehead ("pregnancy mask"). If you are in this group, use a sunscreen with SPF 30 that has both UVA and UVB protection.
- If you feel you must have a tan, use a self-tanning cream or bronzer, but remember that self-tanning products do not provide sun protection.
- Check the UV index daily and take appropriate precautions. This information is readily available online.

Ballymena star Liam Neeson all set for Korean War epic
Liam Neeson is set to star as General Douglas MacArthur in a Korean War epic being filmed in South Korea.
While it's likely that Operation Chromite will be shot in Korean, it's not yet clear if the Ballymena action star will be learning the language.
Operation Chromite was the codename for the Battle of Incheon on September 15, 1950, shortly after the war started.
The surprise attack is recognised as a turning point for UN-backed South Korea against the communist North.
The £6m movie directed by John H Lee will focus on eight Korean war heroes, and is due to be released for next year's anniversary of the outbreak of the war on June 25, 2016.
