Quick Thought - Don't Give Up Your Christian Convictions
There's no need to change your religious convictions in order to treat people you disagree with like any other person that you respect. That's why I'm mystified by the trend of some Christians to abandon their Christian theology and adopt pro-gay theology, then go back to the Bible to try and reinterpret the biblical passages to make them sound gay-affirming.
Quick Thought - My Body, My Choice?
The unborn is not part of the mother's body, but rather a separate body that lies within her. Scientifically, there are a number of qualities and characteristics that are different about the unborn and the mother.
Quick Thought - Avoid Sheltering Kids Too Much
There are legitimate things to want to shelter your kids from. However, there are some things that are appropriate to expose our kids to.
Darwinism Is Anti-Science
Alan explains how Darwinism is controlled by a presupposition that makes it closed-minded and anti-science. Darwinists around the world celebrated the 200th anniversary of Charles Darwin's birth on February 12, 2010. Darwin parties will continue all year since November 22nd will also mark the 150th anniversary of Darwin's landmark book, On the Origin of Species. It's a momentous year for all things Darwin.

Treating Tuberculosis in People With HIVSkip to the navigation
Topic Overview
Treatment for people with tuberculosis (TB) who also have human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is nearly the same as for people who don't have HIV. But there are some important differences, including: footnote 1
- Checking to make sure that the TB medicines are not changing the effectiveness of the medicines used to treat the HIV infection.
- Continuing treatment for longer than 6 months. Treatment may go on for up to 9 months for people with both TB and HIV infections, especially for children.
Treatment of latent TB in people with HIV infection
Experts recommend one of the following treatments to cure a latent TB infection in people with HIV infection.
- Nine months of daily treatment with the antibiotic isoniazid can help latent TB from becoming active TB, which can spread to other people. footnote 1
- Three months of weekly doses of the antibiotics isoniazid and rifapentine can be effective for treating latent TB in people with HIV who are not taking antiretroviral medicines. footnote 2 For this treatment, a health professional watches you take each dose of antibiotics, called directly observed therapy (DOT) . Making sure that every dose of antibiotic is taken helps prevent the TB bacteria from getting resistant to the antibiotics.
Treatment of active TB in people with HIV infection
People who are infected with HIV take a combination of four medicines daily for 2 months to treat active TB. This is followed by two medicines daily for the next 4 months. footnote 1
- Appropriate treatment should last for at least 6 months. Treatment may go on longer if tests show that TB-causing bacteria are still present in sputum or in other areas of the body.
- All doses of the antibiotics must be taken. This may require daily visits with a health professional to receive every dose of your medicines. This is called directly observed therapy (DOT) , and it improves the cure rate of TB treatment. footnote 3
- Doctors may use another medicine instead of rifampin, which can lower the effectiveness of some medicines used to treat HIV infection.

Opening Night, #57, Cuts, Blogs
A week from tonight, Citizens Bank Park will again be jumping. Modell's Sporting Goods Opening Night against the Braves, an 8:05 national telecast on EPSN2. Fans have had their post-season emotions pent up all winter. They'll be ready to unleash those emotions big time.
Pre-game festivities begin at 7:25 p.m. Details will come later. So get there early.
If don't have a ticket, most of the pre-game ceremonies will be covered on the W. B. Mason Behind the Pinstripes show on WPHL TV, Channel 17, the Phillies new TV rightsholder. Scott Palmer will again host the show which begins at 7:30 p.m.
Then, on Thursday before the 3:05 afternoon game, the World Series championship rings will be presented on the field. Arrive early for the emotional ceremonies. Hopefully, those ceremonies will be seen live on phillies.com. More on that later.
New Phillie
Jack Taschner, the 30-year-old lefty reliever acquired from the Giants for Ronny Paulino over the weekend, joined the Phillies this morning. He's wearing #57.
He had a hot/cold season a year ago against left-handed hitters. From opening day through August 10, lefties hit .187 against him. From August 12, lefties got him at a .517 clip. One other note about him, he has one option left.
His arrival puts the camp at 34 players. Opening night's limit is 25. Included in the 34 players, are five non-roster players. Ruben Amaro Jr. will conduct a meeting after the game today with his staff and Charlie Manuel's staff to discuss the roster.
With the April 3-4 On-Deck Series games at Citizens Bank Park against the Rays, chances are the final decisions won't be made until then. As always, we'll be looking to improve the roster. Options are other clubs cutting players and trades.
Sunday Cuts
27 players were cut at the minor league camp, 10 a week ago and 17 more this morning. More are on the horizon. Four rosters need to be finalized next Friday. Lehigh Valley, Reading and Lakewood clubs break camp next Sunday. Others remain in Clearwater, either on the Threshers roster or extended spring training.
The cuts:
Pitchers: Moises Melendez, Jorge Crespo, Ben Pfinsgraff, Dustin Cameron, Sean Thompson, Yorman Bazardo, Reymond Cruz, Berman Espinoza, Yoel Hernandez, Yen Feng Lin (Taiwan native), Cristobal Mata, Andrew Cruse, Shaun Ellis, Steve Shepard and Justin Pope.
Catchers: Josh Arhart, Alan Robbins, Scott Thomas (Lee Thomas' son) and Caleb Mangum.
Infielders: Herman Demmink, Daniel Hargrave, Tim Binkoski, Kyle Haines and John Urick (Whitey Herzog's grandson).
Outfielders: Bryan Frew, Chris Walker, Damon Hollins.
Blog Notes
Latest ratings on MLB.com blogs has Todd Lolecki's Zo Zone blog first in his category. Phillies Insider is 13th among those in a different category.
Thanks to Phillies fans for their passion.

Economists have warned that the Trump administration's plan to reduce immigration and deport thousands of unauthorized immigrants could impose significant costs in terms of lower growth and lost human capital.
Howard Gleckman of the Tax Policy Center points out Wednesday that those costs include reduced support for Social Security.
His analysis is simple: "Fewer workers = less payroll tax revenue."
Citing a recent study by his colleagues Damir Cosic and Richard W. Johnson at the Urban Institute, Gleckman says that an immigration proposal introduced by the Republican senators Tom Cotton (AR) and David Purdue (GA) – to reduce by roughly half the number of green cards being issued, eliminate the visa lottery system and create new rules to favor younger and better-educated immigrants – would reduce the U.S. workforce by 0.8 percent in 2030 from its current baseline, and by 8 percent by 2070.
As a result, Gleckman writes, "the law would reduce Social Security trust fund revenues by 0.8 percent in 2020, by 2.3 percent in 2030, and by 8 percent in 2070." Benefits paid out would eventually decline, too, but not until 2050, and not enough to make up for the lost tax revenue.

- Open the PDF documents that you want to combine in Preview.
- Show the sidebar in each Preview window. If the sidebar is not showing, click the Sidebar button in the Preview window's toolbar, or choose View > Sidebar > Show Sidebar.
- Verify that the sidebar is configured to show thumbnails (this the default view). If the sidebar is not showing thumbnails, choose View > Sidebar > Thumbnails.
- Drag the thumbnail of one PDF document (source) over of the thumbnail of the other PDF document (destination) and release the mouse or trackpad button when the pointer shows a green circle with a plus symbol in it. This will copy all pages from the source PDF and add them to the end of the destination PDF.
Note: If the PDF documents you are combining already contain multiple pages, you can choose to copy only some pages from the source PDF. You can also choose to insert the copied pages between existing pages of the destination PDF. A grey circle containing an arrow will appear over the thumbnail a PDF with multiple pages. If this arrow is pointing to the left, click on it to see thumbnails of all pages in the PDF. Select only the pages you want to copy, then drag them over the destination PDF document's thumbnail. If the destination PDF has multiple thumbnails showing in the sidebar, drag the copied pages to the precise location where you want the pages added. A blue bar will appear between the pages where the copied pages will be inserted.
- If the pages in the destination PDF are shown in the wrong order, click the gray circle containing an arrow that appears over the PDF document's thumbnail, so that the arrow points to the right, and drag the thumbnails of the individual pages into the desired order.
- After the destination PDF contains all of the pages you want and the pages are in the correct order, you can select File > Save As to save a new PDF document containing all of the combined pages, or you can select File > Save to replace the original version of the destination PDF with the version containing the combined pages.
Note: The Save or Save As commands will only save the document currently being viewed in the window, not all documents shown in the sidebar. The Preview window's title bar will show you the name of the current PDF document being viewed, how many pages are in the current document being viewed, how many separate (not combined) PDF documents are contained in the current window and the total number of pages of all documents open in the current window. For example, in the second screen shot above you can see that "About Stacks.pdf" is a single page PDF that is currently being viewed, but the Preview windows contains a second document with multiple pages. If you were to select Save while viewing "About Stacks.pdf," it would save this single-page document, but would not save the multiple page "About Downloads.pdf" that is also open in the same window.

text: http://www.webmd.com/parenting/news/20110915/childhood-poisoning-by-medication-on-the-rise Childhood Poisoning by Medication on the Rise Study Shows Increase in ER Visits Due to Poisoning From Medicines in Kids Age 5 and Under By Kathleen Doheny WebMD Health NewsReviewed by Laura J. Martin, MD Sept. 16, 2011 -- Childhood poisonings by medication are up dramatically, despite repeated messages to adults to keep prescription and over-the-counter medicines out of reach and locked up. "Overall, the visits to the emergency department for poisoning by medicines [in children age 5 and younger] were up 30%," says G. Randall Bond, MD. Bond is an emergency physician at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center and medical director of the Cincinnati Drug and Poison Information Center. The increase occurred over an eight-year period, from 2001 to 2008. During that same time, the number of children age 5 years and under in the U.S. went up only 8%, Bond says. The majority of the accidents involved a child getting into medicines, not a parent or other caretaker giving a child an incorrect dose, Bond tells WebMD. The study is published in The Journal of Pediatrics. Tracking Childhood Poisonings The researchers evaluated patient records from the National Poison Data System of the American Association of Poison Control Centers. They looked at the years 2001 to 2008 and focused on children age 5 years and younger. All the children were evaluated at a health care facility after being unintentionally exposed to over-the-counter or prescription medication. The researchers categorized the doses as those the child took by mistake or an error made by an adult giving the child medicine. The researchers looked at visits to emergency departments, hospital admissions, injuries, and trends. They evaluated a total of 453,559 records. In 95% of cases, the child got into the medicine. Most problems occurred after children got into prescription medicines. Children getting into prescription medicines accounted for more than 248,000 emergency department visits, nearly 42,000 hospital admissions, and more than 18,000 injuries. Most often, the drug ingestions that caused the most serious illnesses involved opioid painkillers, sedatives, and heart medicines. Over the eight years, 66 deaths occurred, Bond says. More often, he says, ''the injuries were transient, as in they had a coma and recovered, or they had low blood sugar and recovered." For most, the poisonings had no long-term ill effects, he says. Explaining the Increase in Childhood Poisonings The increase in childhood poisonings by medication are easily explained, Bond says. "More medicines are out there for kids to get in to," he says. For instance, 50% of adults reported taking at least one prescription medicine in a 1998 survey, and 7% five or more, Bond says, citing other research. By 2006, the same researcher found 55% took at least one prescription medicine, and 11% took five or more. "These are preventable injuries," Bond says. Parents need to be reminded that medications need to be ''out of sight and locked up." That means immediately after taking them or giving them to children, he says Bond cites cases of children being poisoned after a parent gave them a proper dose, but then left the medication out within reach for a few minutes. Parents should treat all medicines the same way when it comes to keeping them locked away, Bond says. "Sometimes parents think cold medications are in a different class and are safer," he says. Not true, he tells them. Soon, more help may be coming from prescription drug manufacturers, Bond says. He works with the PROTECT Initiative, a collaboration of government agencies such as the CDC, nonprofit organizations, and industry to promote medication safety. Initially, the project targeted non-prescription medicines. It sponsored a campaign encouraging adults to put medicines up, away, and out of sight. Next, Bond says, the project will start discussions with pharmaceutical companies about how to help reduce poisonings. Strategies include, for instance, adding a ''flow dispenser'' to liquid medicines. That way, children can't take off the top and drink it all. Advice for Parents Adults can keep handy the number of the American Association of Poison Control Centers, 800-222-1222. All 57 U.S. centers can be reached by the same number. The organization's web site also offers information about an app for the iPhone. The increase of 30% in emergency department visits for childhood poisonings by medication is termed ''shocking'' by Michael Cohen, RPh, ScD, president of the Institute for Safe Medication Practices. He reviewed the findings for WebMD. The new study, he says, ''definitely shows we still have a big problem out there." Adults can take some simple steps to reduce risk, Cohen says. Be sure the child-resistant cap is closed correctly. Cohen finds they are often replaced incorrectly. Treat patches infused with medicines (such as painkillers or nitroglycerin) the same as other medicines. He cites cases of children digging patches out of the trash and applying them. To dispose of them safely, he suggests folding them and putting them in a childproof container. Another option, depending on the manufacturer's instructions, is to flush them, he says. Be aware of the ''granny syndrome." When grandparents visit, they may store medicines in a suitcase left on the floor or in their pocketbooks, he says. Parents can remind them to put up and lock up the medicines. Store medicines in a cabinet above the children's eye level. Avoid the bathroom, as there is too much moisture. If the cabinet does not have a lock, buy an inexpensive plastic lock at a home supply store. Deborah L.

An automotive manufacturer can make any generation of new car beautiful or interesting (with a little effort), but they've only got one chance in a generation (or a century) to get their headquarters right.
Sometimes people surprise you with their sartorial choices. There are stylish computer programmers and motorcyclists that love floral patterns. As corporations are people, too, the same stylistic surprise applies to them. For example, Toyota has its own city, which is actually pretty interesting, in a way. Not something you'd expect from the company that gave us the Camry, a milquetoast anagram of "My Car."
But amongst the coolest automotive headquarters must be GM's Renaissance Center. It's nearly a city unto itself, it has a "people mover" and a sweet spot on the river. If the towers weren't so round and appealing, it could easily be the bizarre headquarters of some evil conglomerate. And it not only dominates but defines Detroit's skyline.
Now, the Renaissance Center is cool, but there's so much interesting architecture out there we're confident you'll be able to top it. Lay down your suggestion in Kinja.

MPLS implementation gotchas
In this tip on controlling and implementing multiprotocol label switching (MPLS), learn how to eliminate network latency without getting caught in an SLA with a bad service provider.
When implementing and controlling multiprotocol label switching (MPLS), you should be aware of potential pitfalls before you're locked into a service-level agreement (SLA) with a bad service provider, according to Johna Till Johnson. If you're looking for globalization and a better QoS, read on to prepare your company for a successful MPLS migration.
President and founding partner of Nemertes Research, Johnson spoke at Interop in New York last week on MPLS technology and implementation issues. She says that although MPLS is a technology and not a service, you need to look at the service side of MPLS to avoid any pitfalls and to buy MPLS-based services when choosing a carrier. To avoid other MPLS pitfalls, read Johnson's list of "gotchas" to get savvy about your implementation:
Don't look first at cost. "You really need to look at your service-level agreements (SLAs)," Johnson says. "Have a look at how much you're using in each class of service for each application." Know your service delivery types so that -- should something break or go down -- you know exactly whom to contact and how long your delays are likely to last.
Make sure your definitions with your carrier are the same. For example, does your "network going down" mean to you that a portion of your network goes down? Maybe your carrier's definition requires your entire network to go down. Make sure you're on the same terms and that an apple means an apple and not an Asian pear.
Put together the RFP: First, do not issue an RFP until you do a migration, and think about your change 18 months before your contract ends. If you're six months away and thinking about a migration, Johnson says, "it's not going to be pretty if you're that close to the wire."
Does MPLS save you money? Johnson says, "Yes, in certain cases, but at a cost." It depends on how much you want to implement voice, video and mobility into your organization. If you're transitioning from data to data, you probably will not see a cost saving.
Don't implement voice and MPLS all at the same time. If you're using VoIP, you don't necessarily need to use MPLS, and vice versa: You don't necessarily need MPLS to do VoIP. If you want to see a cost saving, you'll probably want to use both. And, if you have a background in voice, you can argue for a move away from your carrier.
When dealing with your carrier, negotiate aggressively, and instead of worrying about cost, worry about quality and your terms of agreement. Expect to go back to the negotiating table a minimum of three times. "Never expect them to give you their best offer the first, second or third time," Johnson says. If you decide to stay with your carrier, whenever you negotiate something, make sure you get all agreements in writing.
Some service providers knock out service classes altogether. But the problem with this is that you'll see more congestion and slowing before you drop connections. If this begins to happen, expect to see that the top-class system you had will start costing more.
Architect and implement the network. Johnson says you need to know how many and what kind of network node interfaces (NNIs) you're using. Understand the nature of them, and see whether they will be valid across services and SLAs.
Every class of service is its own network. The routers are routing classes of service differently, which means there's an overlay of five virtual networks within each router. Johnson says you need to "think about the architectural impacts of multiple networks." Network people are responsible for all of the execution. But just because they make the magic happen, doesn't mean they shouldn't consult everyone on the implementation. Take the time to rope the architecture people in to the discussion. If you skip this dialogue, you're going to set yourself up for some disappointment down the road.
Carriers want to own the on-site routers to lock you into their service. "I have bad news and I have worse news," Johnson says: In 1999, if you were going to move to another carrier, you had to have a saving of 20% from your new deal/carrier for the migration to be worthwhile. The worse news is that, now, you have to save 30% to justify the move. Having to pull out your infrastructure to buy new routers will only add costs to the already painful switch.
Carriers also want to manage your network so that they can have increased lock-in. Although they say they're moving "up the stack," all that really means is that they are trying to manage your network, Johnson says. Is this something you want your carrier to do? Yes and no. On the plus side, they will be able to take the burden off your internal management, and your carrier will be able to manage cheaply -- "much more than you ever will," she says. The downside is that your carrier will own everything.
Voice data and carrier convergence is good for MPLS -- but bad if you don't want to be locked in. The danger is that it's extremely hard to switch carriers if something goes wrong. The pro is that VoIP is highly redundant (if you do it right), so MPLS is great for doing any-to-any architectures -- and with any-to-any architecture, you get excellent disaster recovery.
The difference between ATM and frame relay privacy is that most people don't know how to hack a frame, but most people know how to hack a router. Most companies are interested in protecting their data, so depending on the type of traffic you're sending out, Johnson recommends using encryption layer protection. If you want to be using WLANs, you need encryption all the way to the desktop.
Do not cut your team -- especially people who know VoIP. Since there's no voice-specific school and no one has been in the VoIP business for 20 years, VoIP careers are especially valuable because so few people specialize in voice. Those who know data are a commodity, Johnson says, so keep your VoIP people on board.
Complexities exist at the edges. If you're implementing MPLS, "you'll see problems at the edge," Johnson says … "but the pain is worth it, or will be, if there's a huge rate of latency in your network."

As Lisa Tannebaum pondered the future of her avocation, she was hopeful and curious. Where would audiences for classical music be found in the years to come? Large concert halls? Small salon settings? Corner bars? Community centers? All of the above?
No one knows for sure, but Tannebaum, a professional harpist for more than 20 years and co-founder of the Stamford-based Treetops Chamber Music Society, knows one thing is for certain -- it is imperative to expose young people to the music that has endured for centuries. She could cite research that suggests classical music needs young audiences as much as young audiences need classical music for healthy development, but Tannebaum, who has performed around the world, can just as easily tap her own experiences.
"I love to see their wonder and excitement," she said of her performances for young people. As she sat inches from her beautifully wrought harp in her Stamford studio, she said her instrument has never failed to evoke curiosity. "The children are so mesmerized."
She likely will generate similar responses when she joins the New York City-based Cassatt String Quartet for a concert Sunday at the Stanwich School in Greenwich. It is the final performance in the inaugural season of the Curiosity Concerts series. Over the past eight months, top-flight musicians have brought a diverse mix of classical sounds and styles to children ages 5 and older, and their families, during hourlong, interactive concerts. The May 4 concert is being co-presented by the music society, which is located near the Greenwich town line.
"I started out hopeful and optimistic," said Greenwich resident Shelly Cryer, who launched the series with the help of area organizations and community donors. "But I was a bit nervous about what the response would be."
It turned out she had no need to be. Seven of the season's eight concerts have been sold out, some with lengthy waiting lists, and Cryer estimates that about 1,500 to 1,700 people have been served. As of last week, there were 300 reservations for the final concert.
"The response completely exceeded my expectations," Cryer said.
It was a welcome discovery, considering the percentage of 18- to 24-year-olds who attend classical music performances has slipped in the past several years, according to the 2012 National Endowment for the Arts Survey of Public Participation. "This past season has been incredibly gratifying," said Cryer, adding that it reiterated that the community believes that music is part of a rich and diverse lifestyle and is willing to support opportunities to hear quality music at local venues.
Betty Roberts, a longtime Greenwich resident and language arts teacher at Greenwich Country Day School, has been to every concert with her grandchildren. "It opens a whole new world for them," she said. "The exposure and the energy the musicians have is captivating. It is educational and enjoyable at the same time."Read Full Article
Exposure is a key element when it comes to building audiences and supporters for any arts organization or artistic tradition, said Paul Master-Karnik, executive director of the Greenwich Arts Council, one of the series' collaborators.
"There are innumerable studies that have been done in the arts, and they all point to the same thing -- early exposure (to the arts) does improve performance and acuity in other areas of a young person's life," he said, referencing findings that suggest improvement in other academic subjects and in social skills. "Secondly, it creates an attitude, a lifelong attitude of learning and exposure, so they are more prone to access these specific art forms than they would otherwise have been. ... They have learned to not be afraid, it is as simple as that, to not be afraid of that environment."
Planning for a second season is underway, with organizers looking for more revenue streams to secure long-term success of the series. Currently, the concerts are free because of private donor support. Next season's schedule should be released in a few months.
It was welcome news to Roberts. "I was counting on it, and I am sure I am not alone in that."
Tannebaum also is pleased that the series has succeeded in fostering musical appreciation among young audiences, considering it was exposure at an early age that first led her to the harp. As she rehearsed during a recent afternoon, it was clear that the instrument still brings her great joy -- something she strives to share with each performance.
"You can't substitute the effect of live music," she said.

Founder of Langarita-Navarro Architects, Maria Langarita for the 2014 AJ Women in Architecture Awards
María Langarita co-founded Madrid-based Langarita-Navarro Architects in 2005. Since then the practice has completed a number of high-profile Spanish projects, including the headquarters for the Red Bull Music Academy, which received a special mention at the 2013 Mies van der Rohe Awards; and a contemporary art centre in Madrid, which also won at the XII Spanish Architecture and Urban Planning Biennial. Langarita lectures at the ETSA Madrid and at the University of Alicante.
Why did you choose architecture? It was my one and only option. I cannot remember when I decided. I have always been
an avid reader of everything and especially history books. I believe I was 12 when I read Le Corbusier's and Frank Lloyd Wright's biographies.
What is your design ethos? It is about maximising diversity, being aware of others, being inclusive, being hybrid and enriching an open and horizontal cultural archive.
Which architects inspire you? Charlotte Perriand, Ray Eames, Alison Smithson, Denise Scott Brown, Eileen Gray, Kazuyo
What is your advice to aspiring female architects? Be the best architect you can be; keep cool; laugh before crying. The same advice goes for male architects.
What is the biggest challenge facing women in architecture today? I think it changes a lot from one place, country and social environment to another. It is difficult to make a general overview. Women should do their job and make it visible to others. Society needs to assure women the professional space that has been theoretically conquered. Professionals do not work alone: this is a harmful myth. There is always a team and this works the same for women and for men.
What do you think is the best defence against sexism? Dialogue. I don't believe in a war against sexism based on attacks and defensive reactions. Sexism, racism, homophobia are consequences of ignorance and lack of cultural diversity. Mainstream media, political interest groups and society in general have a responsibility to tackle this. Everyone needs to be enrolled in this matter.
Place of study Navarra University and Madrid Polytechnic University
Current projects Concept designs for the adaptation of existing buildings; designs for work spaces; architectural competitions; private housing; and a number of projects for public institutions and foundations

Mikaeel's mother to face court
The mother of three-year-old Mikaeel Kular will appear in court today in connection with his death.
The little boy was reported missing from his Edinburgh home on Thursday, prompting a major search operation.
His body was later found around 25 miles away in Kirkcaldy, Fife.
Clegg to make mental health pledge
Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg is pledging to improve the standards of mental health treatment and "bring mental health out of the shadows".
In a speech launching the Government's new Mental Health Action Plan, which sets out 25 areas where immediate action is called for to improve care, support and treatment, Mr Clegg will say: "All too often, attitudes to mental health are outdated; stuck in the dark ages; full of stigma and stereotypes.
"It's time for us to bring mental health out of the shadows and to give people with mental health conditions the support they need and deserve."
No apology, no whip, Rennard warned
Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg has said it would not be "appropriate" for Lord Rennard to return to his party's ranks in the House of Lords without first apologising to the women who claim he sexually harassed them, warning the under-fire peer: "No apology, no whip."
Mr Clegg's authority faces a major challenge today, as Lord Rennard plans to take up his place in the Upper House and his legal adviser threatens legal action if the whip is not reinstated.
Lord Rennard strenuously denies the allegations against him and has refused to apologise, after an inquiry by senior barrister Alistair Webster QC found that the women's claims were credible but could not be proved beyond reasonable doubt.
St Lucia death 'tragic, shattering'
The family of a British man who died defending his wife after attackers boarded their boat in the Caribbean said it was a "tragic, shattering end" to their dream holiday.
Roger Pratt, 62, a retired engineer, died and his wife Margaret was injured after three armed men climbed aboard their yacht moored off the south coast of St Lucia on Friday, police said.
Mrs Pratt, who retired as a management consultant to go on the long-planned around-the-world holiday, had celebrated her 60th birthday just days before the incident.
Labour in jobseeker benefit threat
Unemployed people who lack basic English, maths and computing skills will face being stripped of benefits unless they take up training under changes proposed by Labour.
Under the plan, all new claimants of Jobseeker's Allowance would have to sit a basic skills test to measure their literacy, numeracy and IT ability within six weeks of signing on.
Those found to need improvement will be put on a programme of training aimed at getting them up to the standard required for steady employment.
Duggan stop tactic was not reviewed
The Metropolitan Police has admitted it was wrong not to review its use of the "hard stop" tactic employed in the shooting of Mark Duggan in 2011, despite being advised to do so by the complaints watchdog.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) recommended the review in 2005 following the shooting of suspected drug dealer Azelle Rodney, saying it was a "high-risk option" which carried risks to the public, suspects and officers.
Scotland Yard today conceded it was wrong not to have conducted a review, but said an "interim review" had now been completed by the College of Policing.
Woman face Roache trial questions
A woman who told detectives that Coronation Street star William Roache was "like an octopus" with "hands everywhere" will be cross-examined today at his trial.
She said the actor - whom she dubbed The Roache - groped her in a room at Granada Studios in Manchester after being led past the Rovers Return pub on the set.
In a video recording of her police interview played to jurors at Preston Crown Court, she said she thought she was about 14 when Roache arranged studio passes for her and her younger sister.
Jobless migrants lose housing cash
Jobless immigrants will be denied housing benefits under plans set out by senior ministers to tackle immigration and prevent people exploiting the UK's welfare system.
Home Secretary Theresa May and Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith said the measure would apply from April as they delivered a strongly-worded attack on Labour's "shameful" record on the issue.
The move to stop access to housing benefit follows legislation rushed through Parliament to prevent migrants from claiming out-of-work benefits until they have been in the country for three months.
Travis 'victims' to give evidence
Two alleged victims of veteran DJ Dave Lee Travis are expected to give evidence against the former Radio 1 favourite today.
Travis, 68, denies 13 indecent assaults and one sexual assault, dating back to 1976 and the height of his fame.
The trial at London's Southwark Crown Court last week heard evidence from alleged victims who pointed to Travis's supposed "campaign of sexual assault" and a casual attitude among broadcasting bosses to dealing with complaints against him.
Wealthy grabbing power, says Oxfam
Global inequality has increased to the extent that the £1 trillion combined wealth of the 85 richest people is equal to that of the poorest 3.5 billion - half of the world's population - according to a new report from development charity Oxfam.
And the report, entitled Working For The Few, claims that growing inequality has been driven by a "power grab" by wealthy elites, who have co-opted the political process to rig the rules of the economic system in their favour.
Oxfam called on attendees at this week's World Economic Forum, which brings together politicians and business leaders in the Swiss ski resort of Davos, to take a personal pledge to tackle the problem by refraining from dodging taxes or using their wealth to seek political favours.

According to Actress and The Pet Lifestyle Coach®,
Megan Blake, "unrestrained pets in cars pose serious potential risks, including becoming a major
distraction to drivers; and unrestrained pets can easily be seriously injured, killed or even lost after
being thrown from a car."
'Dogs, like children, should never be allowed to ride with their heads out the windows,' says Megan. "Flying debris, including bugs, could harm them, and their lungs or ears could be injured from high-speed wind."
Keep SUMMER FUN as a driver by following these tips:
- Start your trip with GPS and music set; phone stowed. Keep children and pets content by bringing along a favorite toy, treat, or blanket. Always drive 2N2® - 2 eyes on the road, 2 hands on the wheel.
- Understand the laws for passenger restraint. Both child and pet passengers require special attention. No passengers belong on a lap or in the bed of a pick-up truck.
- Make sure that the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system (HVAC) of your vehicle is in good condition before your trip begins. This will be especially important for those longer trips. Keep a spare charging cable and car charger in your car for your phone.
- Make it a point to pull over if a child or pet needs attention, or if you feel tired or drowsy. This way you keep your eyes on the road.
- Eating along the way may be necessary, but you should pull over for this, too. Pack snacks and drinks for everyone, including pets, for convenience.
- Remove loose objects from your vehicle, they can become projectiles in a crash, causing injury to people or pets. In the event of a crash, unsecured pets may become frightened and jump from open windows.
- Forbid paws and heads from being out the window. This applies to both 2-legged and 4-legged passengers. They could be injured by flying debris.
- Understand construction may be underway along your route. Plan ahead and find alternate routes and pet-friendly stops, helping to get you to your destination on schedule.
- Never leave children or pets in cars alone for any period of time. Temperatures can rise 19 degrees in just 10 minutes, putting them at risk.
Megan and Super Smiley's Top 5 "What to Pack" Travel Tips
'We pets love home and our people, and even though we love to go, we still want to feel safe and comfortable...just like home! Here's my Top 5 of What to Pack for your pet:
- Her blanket or a towel that she's slept on so it smells like home, and a T-shirt or sock you've worn so it smells like you. These will be good "security blankets" for her and will help keep her calm and feeling like home.
- A collapsible water bowl. These are so convenient and can be folded into a pocket or purse for easy carrying.
- Her own food. Bring enough for the whole trip so you're not caught in a situation where you have to switch to a different brand mid-trip, which might upset her stomach...and the trip.
- Her medicines and medical shot records.
- Any accessories we may need, like life jackets, sweaters, protective boots, pet sunscreen, a toy to keep her occupied while waiting around, a towel for sitting on a boat deck...Think about your trip. If you need something extra, we may need it too!'

Faced with a copyright infringement suit where your defense is fair use? Chances are you wouldn't consider making a motion to dismiss at the outset. Instead, you will most likely contemplate extensive discovery and an expensive summary judgment motion. Well, think again. The 7th Circuit in Brownmark_Films_LLC_v_Comedy latest recently affirmed the district court's grant of a motion to dismiss a copyright infringement suit based solely on a side-by-side comparison of the videos in question before the parties had engaged in any discovery.
The appellate court in tossing out the case notably took a swipe at "copyright trolls" whose "baseless shakedowns" incur "ruinous discovery." Brownmark gives defendants with a fair use defense a useful road map for nipping litigation in the bud.
Brownmark is a co-owner of a music video entitled What What (in the Butt) ("WWITB") that features an adult male dancing and repeatedly singing the same cryptic phrase, "I said what what, in the butt" and "you want to do it in my but, in my but." Its video is here.
South Park is an animated sitcom on Comedy Central that centers on the happenings of foul-mouthed fourth graders. South Park decided to parody WWITB to make fun of the popularity of viral videos on YouTube with little social value. On one South Park episode, entitled Canada on Strike, a character named Butters Stotch, dressed successively as a teddy bear, astronaut and a daisy, sings the central lines of the bawdy WWITB video. The South Park video also uses the same angles, framing, dance moves and visual elements as the Brownmark original. The South Park video is here.
The District Court Grants the Motion to Dismiss
Brownmark sued South Park and others for copyright infringement. The complaint referred to both versions of the WWITB video but attached neither. South Park moved to dismiss under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6) claiming fair use and attaching both works to its motion. Brownmark responded that the district court could not consider fair use on a dismissal motion.
The district court disagreed. It found fair use, stating "[o]ne only needs to take a fleeting glance at the South Park episode" to determine that its use of the WWITB video is meant "to lampoon the recent craze in our society of watching video clips on the internet . . . of rather low artistic sophistication and quality." The opinion is here.
On appeal, Brownmark again argued that fair use is a fact-based defense which therefore cannot be decided on a 12(b)(6) motion. The 7th Circuit expressed sympathy for this argument noting that affirmative defenses "typically turn on facts not before the court at that [initial] stage of the proceedings."
The Appellate Court Affirms Treating the Motion as one for Summary Judgment
But here the appellate court felt comfortable deciding fair use. That's because the complaint alleged defendants had infringed only one South Park episode and did not further asset that defendants had made other infringing uses of plaintiff's work. Thus the circuit court had before it all it needed to decide the issue: "the [videos of the] original version of WWITB and the episode at issue."
The 7th Circuit was, however, concerned that the district court had used a motion to dismiss to end the case. Defendants argued that the incorporation-by-reference doctrine permitted them to submit the videos to support their motion without turning the motion into one for summary judgment. Although the appellate court stated it made "good sense" to apply that incorporation doctrine beyond documents to videos or television programs, no other appellate court had reached that issue. Under those circumstances, the appellate court felt no need to enlarge "the role" of a 12(b)(6) motion when the court could just as easily "treat" the motion to dismiss as one for summary judgment.
Plaintiff argued that, if it were now faced with a summary judgment motion, it would be disadvantaged by a lack of opportunity for discovery. It stated that, when the case was before the district court on a motion to dismiss, it could not have asked for discovery. The appellate court responded, "that is hard to believe. The caption on a motion does not have some independent authority that litigants or courts must respect."
The appellate court found no disadvantage because it was "confident" that the district court would have "refused to grant" the types of discovery that plaintiff now claimed it would have sought below. The 7th Circuit signaled the district courts they "need not, and indeed ought not, allow discovery when it is clear that the case turns on facts already in evidence." The circuit court, mindful that "the expense of discovery" "looms over this suit," added that plaintiff's belated "broad discovery request, surely entailing expensive e-discovery of emails or other internal communications, gives Brownmark the appearance of a 'copyright troll.'"
A Clear Case of Fair Use
Turning to the merits, the court found this an "obvious case of fair use," stating that the "South Park episode is clearly a parody of the original WWITB video, providing commentary on the ridiculousness of the original video and the viral nature of certain YouTube videos."
Some Lessons Going Forward
This case is a welcome judicial response to meritless copyright infringement litigation. When the defendant can demonstrate fair use through the court's side-by-side comparison of the two works at issue, defendant should resist discovery and move either by motion to dismiss or for summary judgment attaching the works to its motion papers. The court, with all the facts needed for resolution before it, may follow Brownmark and make a determination. An early dismissal of a copyright infringement claim on fair use grounds has a public benefit as well. It will avoid choking protected, parodic speech with what Brownmark refers to as "ruinous discovery."

Google has decided to kill off its struggling Google TV and rebrand it as Android TV, according to a report.
The move is seen by some as "part admission that Google TV failed," according to GigaOm. However, Google isn't quitting TV, it's merely rebranding it as Android TV -- after its more successful wireless brand. Google has already readied Android for the home, so extending its brand to television makes sense. It's estimated about 1 million users currently have Google TV.
The news comes from an unnamed source with Google not confirming the rebranding, but Google partners have started using "Android TV" to refer to the devices. Sony didn't use the Google TV brand when advertising its Bravia TV stick based on it. Other manufacturers have also left off the name but offered "Google services" for the television.
U.S. & World
The rebranding isn't simply a name change, either. The three-year-old platform was stuck in Android 3.2, but now the upgrade will bring it to 4.2 so developers can run Android apps on TV. Google also is releasing Android KitKat, or 4.4, soon and the switch to 4.2 would make it easier to upgrade TV to newer Android versions.
Chromecast, Google's latest dongle that sells for $35 and streams video, music and more to one's television or wireless device, seems to be a success, according to GigaOm. Because of that success, Google no longer has to rely on a branded Google TV, especially one that can't handle the latest version of Android.

Journals and Posts
Any STERLING cousins in Nova Scotia (or other parts of Canada)? Got info.
I have information from a Sterling ancestor (great great great great uncle) who, during the American Revolutionary War - in the area now known as Somerset County, Maryland - then known as Annemessex - defected to the British side and was chased out of the area and became a sea captain for the British and finally settled in New Brunswick in Nova Scotia.
Here's the text from the source that I refer to (Thirty-Four Families of Old Somerset County, Maryland - by Woodrow T Wilson 1974):
" DD17. JOHN or JOHNATHAN STERLING: son of John and Mary (Todd) (DD15), b. 1752, d. 1826. This Jonathan took up arms against the colonies and fought with the British during the Revolutionary War along with some others of this area. He was chased out of Annemessex by agitated neighbors who caught him hiding in the closet; said to have been at Makepeace. Upon being detected he shot one of his would be captors and fled to New York where he joined the British forces and became a Captain and made quite a name for himself. After the war the British awarded him "half pay" and he settled in New Bruswick in Nova Scotia and became a British subject. He never returned to Annemessex. He married Ann Leslie of New York and had nine ch., starting the Sterling clan in Nova Scotia. Ch:

Want to uncover the "Holland" branch of my tree: Laura Holland, in Somerset County, Maryland
Laura Holland is my great great grandmother who lived approximately from the latter part of the 1800's to the first half of the 1900s in the Crisfield area of Somerset County, Maryland - an area then known as Lawsonia. She married my great great grandfather Gary L. Blades, Sr., listed as born 1865, died 1949. Source: Thirty-Four Families of Old Somerset County Maryland, written by Woodrow T. Wilson, published in 1974. No further information is provided about Laura Holland beyond the fact that she was married to Gary L. Blades. I got huge amounts of information on lineages such as Sterling and Lawson, but not Holland. I would much appreciate any help you can provide (i.e. any distant Blades/Holland cousins with info?).

Topeak's TwinTurbo technology is a new concept for floor pumps that will save up to 50% of your time and effort. For over 25 years, Topeak engineers have had one dream in mind. Create the ultimate floor pump. It must have high pressure air output and massive volume delivery to fill both road and MTB tires easily and efficiently. TwinTurbo technology utilizes the pull and push of every stroke by transferring air between its two barrels. Pulling the handle up moves a massive amount of air volume from the larger barrel into the smaller barrel. Pushing the handle down compresses the air in the smaller barrel into high pressure output that fills road tires with high pressure, or MTB tires with large volume. No matter the type of tire, the JoeBlow Twin Turbo will literally blow you away. - Head: SmartHead DX1 full metal pump head w/ air release button & x-long hose - Gauge: 200 psi / 14 bar - 3" Top mount analog - Base: Aluminum / Rubber pad - Barrel: Anodized aluminum - Handle: Oversize padded - Added Features: Dunlop valve adapter Ball / Bladder heads Hose dock - Size: 72 x 28 x 21 cm / 28.3" x 11" x 8.3" - Weight: 3 kg / 6.61 lb

An air release button on the TwinHead™ allows for fine-tuning pressure.

At Hot Tub Works, we offer the highest quality hot tub filters made, with the best media available; Reemay, a spun polyester. Below is some research conducted by our filter manufacturer to illustrate how our filters outperform the competition.
One of our competitors has recently introduced a new filtration fabric. They claim that this new fabric is so effective, nothing cleans better or faster. They even go so far as to sell you a 3-ounce filter for pools, when systems using 4-ounce filter fabric are the only ones that pass NSF Standard 50. What's more, the use of 4-ounce filters is universally supported by pool OEMs.
We don't think a substandard filter is good for you or your spa.
Think all cartridges are alike? Think again. Without seams that can crack and collapse, FILBUR one-piece, punched PVC cores are stronger than the molded ones found on competitor cartridges. Not only that: Our end caps offer integrated fittings for easy installation and removal, eliminating the need for PAD adapters.
Reemay is Heavier.
Reemay's 28% greater weight means more fibers per area to capture more dirt.
Reemay is Thicker.
At 62% thicker, Reemay offers more fibers to collect dirt. Greater thickness means greater dirt-holding capacity and much less chance for dirt to escape the fabric.
Reemay is Sturdier.
135% stiffer means greater pleat integrity, less chance of puncture and tearing for longer life.
Substandard filter fabric means a substandard filter cartridge. One that can plug more quickly, require frequent cleaning, deliver inferior water clarity and need replacement more often. In the long run, this costs consumers more, risking your business. Reemay holds 59% more dirt before clogging.
At Hot Tub Works, we stock over 10,000 spa filters for every make and model that has ever made. If you need a quality spa filter at a great price with free shipping, you can find them here: Spa Filters.

Fruit flies, the simple little things that buzz around the fruit you swore you'd eat and the jack-o-lantern you swore you'd throw out, can diagnose themselves with intestinal parasites — and drink alcohol until they're all better again.
Fruit flies really seem to have a bad time of it. They get constantly experimented on in labs, sprayed with every poison known to man, encouraged to mutate, or exposed to radiation. They get swatted and eaten in the wild. And even when nothing goes wrong, a rich, full life for the drosophila melanogaster consists of one month of eating discarded fruit.
That month will be cut horribly short if a wasp gets to them. Wasps will lay their eggs inside a fly, or in a fly larvae. Those eggs will hatch, and the wasp larvae will eat the fly from the inside out. But the flies have found a way to prevent their fate. It turns out that wasp larvae, being used to being laid in any hapless insect that a wasp comes across, are cheap drunks. Fruit flies, however, have spent generations eating whatever fruit is lying out in the sun. Fruit lying out in the sun ferments, so fruit flies have a massive amount of alcohol in their diet. This alcohol is not good for wasp larvae. But it's not a coincidence of diet that cures the fruit flies. Flies infected with the parasite will literally fly around looking for some ethanol, and then gulp down as much of it as they can. Eventually, they'll kill off the larvae within, and find some other food. The flies can instinctively self-diagnose and drink themselves healthy again.
