A bill intended to simplify the process of recycling electronics in Illinois is one more vote away from the governor's desk. A Senate committee has approved a House-passed bill to reduce the number of types of electronic gear which the state EPA must document when people drop them off for recycling. "Right now, there are 17 different categories of covered electronic items," said Kurt Neibergall, who works in the EPA's Bureau of Land.
Click here for summary
"We're going to reduce that to just the larger items – computers, monitors, fax machines. All the little items like mice and cables … don't need to be broken down into different categories and recorded." Neibergall and the bill's sponsor, State Sen. Julie Morrison (D-Deerfield), say the bill does not change what goes to the landfill and what should be recycled. H.B. 4227 has passed the Senate Environment Committee.

WTF is with this song?
I wen poof for awhile, huh? Sorry, I guess I just kinda...dropped off. School started.
When now I'm back, have more anime under my belt, and am ready to join you all again.
I have strange tastes so I've heard a lot of weird songs but here's a couple.
And people tend to think this one is pretty weird...which I guess it might be if you don't listen to her regularly like I do.
Immortal fear, that voice so clear
Through broken walls, that scream I hear
Cry, little sister - Thou shall not fall
Unchain me, sister - Thou shall not fear

So far the weirdest/worst music video I have seen was 'It's So Cold In The D'
Back from Afghanistan (for a good 8-9 months now), and my first child is due in a few weeks, yet my heart is still beating at 120bpm plus. I love house, Hardstyle, Trance, and a few other sub genres. EDM for life.
Well the two wierdest songs I've ever heard would be "Let Me Borrow That Top" by Kelly, and "Dumb Ways To Die"
gangham style
ok that takes the cake

Tila Tequila Says She's Pregnant
I just saw this and had to share, because, oh goodness, is this really a good idea?
Tila Tequila announced tonight, on Twitter, that she is pregnant.
All I can think is, heaven help us. She's not the most stable of girls. She's posted some very strange videos lately and just hasn't shown herself ready to take this step.

i am a 34C and my breasts are saggy , but im only 15 so i think they should be perky , especially since theyre not totally huge. im really embarresed of them because most girls my age have nice cleavage and i dont. im thinking about surgery but i dont want to be unblanced....so would breast lift be the best thing ? does it really make a big difference ?
I'm Only 15 and my Breasts Are Already Saggy - What Can I Do?
Doctor Answers 9
Web reference: http://www.radyrahban.com/gallery/breast/breast-lift/01/
When patients have significant breast sag, I don't feel that they should be denied the benefits of breast lift surgery because of an arbitrary age cutoff. Before proceeding, there are several unique considerations in this group that must be considered.
One of these is the issue of breast growth. I would prefer stabilization of breast growth for at least six months prior to proceeding with surgery. Another issue is the age of consent. Because of this, parents should be involved in every step of the decision making process.
Breast lift surgery is associated with high patient satisfaction rates. Younger patients may experience benefits that may not occur in older patients. These include less teasing about their breast sag at a time when their self image is developing and improved athletic performance at a time when participating in sports is important.
Without pictures and a physical exam, it's hard to know what type of breast lift is best for you. In some cases where breasts are large, breast reduction can be performed as a component of your breast lift.
If you're considering a breast lift, consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon is appropriate. It's also important that your parents be a part of the decision.
Every one develops differently and the breasts are no exception. There is no reason why your breasts developed the way that they did. The good news is that this problem can be corrected. I am sure that this effects your self-confidence. The first step is to seek the care of an experienced plastic surgeon who can explain your alternatives as well as the risks and benefits. If you are a minor then you may need to have a parent accompany you to the consultation.

Thank you for the question.
I'm surprised and apologize for some of my colleagues' responses. I frankly think they are inappropriate....
At your age, the concerns you have may be very legitimate. I would suggest that you begin to do your homework and learn about breast lifting and the pros and cons associated with the procedure. I would suggest waiting to have any procedures done until the time when you have reached a plateau in your growth. It's time the procedure carefully; some patients wish to have the procedure done after completing pregnancies...
Best wishes.
Web reference: http://www.poustiplasticsurgery.com/Procedures/Procedure_breastLift.htm
It is difficult to offer suggestions without a formal exam and consultation. But, if your breasts are sagging, and if they are quite large,you may be a candidate for a breast reduction which would also lift the breasts. But, I would wait until you have fully matured, nad a consultation would only be available with parental consent..
Web reference: http://www.stevenwallachmd.com
A breast lift may provide you with an improved contour but it will require incisions and scars on your breasts and you must be prepared for this. Generally it would be best to wait for you to achieve a stable growth. This could also interfere with your ability to nurse following pregnancy. Discuss this with your pediatrician and gyneocologist first.
Web reference: http://www.bodysculptor.com/chicago-photo-gallery/mastopexy
If you have stopped growing, I would consider having a breast lift. If your breasts "came in" saggy, you probably have a imbalance in your breast development. The most common imbalance is when the upper part of the breast develops normally but the lower part does not. This leaves the areola and nipple looking too low and sometimes big and puffy and the whole breast looking saggy. This is an example of a "tuberous" breast.
A breast lift can do a lot to improve the balance of the breast and the position and size of the areola and nipple. I do almost all my breast lifts using a vertical technique which leaves a scar around the areola and a vertical scar from the bottom of the areola down to the crease under the breast. Breast lift usually does not result in sensation loss or loss of ability to breast feed an infant.
I think the teenage years are tough enough without being ashamed of how your chest looks if your problem can be addressed safely and effectively and if you are mature enough to make the decision. I would discuss this with your mother or another female relative or friend whom you trust.
Also, at your age, it's not so much what the boys like. It's having you feel comfortable with your body.
Good luck,
Lisa Lynn Sowder, M.D.
You are much to young for breast lifting surgery. Wait until the age of 18 than consider the surgery. But there are always scars. Seek in person consults with a parent.
All breasts droop. Some sooner than others, I have seen thousands of breasts and they come in all shapes and sizes -- deal with school and a career - grow up and you will be fine. In life you will learn that only women complain about saggy breasts, as long as you have them a man will be happy. This may sound a little sexist -- but such is life.

Hey HEthens,
This is a naughty post for naughty people.
And that's ok.
I've noticed in some porn that people are capable of actively speaking during orgasm, but all that ever happens in reality for most is usually something along the lines of: "NGHHHHDone." Can you do this? Have an orgasm (either through masturbation or with "help"), and while you're in the throes of it, say a full sentence. I figured this would be a nice challenge to pose to you guys since I'm sure with all the creative and bright minds we can get together some hysterical results or some weird ones- either way good times. Post what you said! Don't be shy!
Here's one to start if you're uninspired:
"I solemnly swear that I am up to no good."
(Sorry if HP has now been ruined for you)
@staylucky, No worries! I've always wanted to try something like this, but instead of coke it would be a spoonful of nutella in my mouth. The yumminess of the nutella and the orgasm combined would just… make an awesome thing increase it's awesomeness a hundredfold… Brb, seeing if I have nutella…
@staylucky, Awesome.
Yesterday I did "I threw the cat in the dumpster!"
Another I'm gonna try
@linnea, I don't see this being particularly difficult, but I do see it being particularly hilarious, especially if you're with somebody. How bout a classic Ron Burgundy quote:
"The human torch denied a bank loan!"
@eruptionwarranty, Hahaha chicks ankles round your ears, orgasm imminent, here it comes "I'M IN A GLASS CAGE OF EMOTION!"
Cola? Nutella?
Pffff, lightweights :D
I bet you'd love doing that with nitrous oxide. The effects are mindblowing. If you time it right you get this "Holy shit what's happ-HAHAHAHAHAHAHA" feeling and crazy pleasure spasms.
If you're already high (bud, fungi, and speed all work really well) this also acts like a booster rocket for that high (if you're on hallucinogens it's so amazing.)
Some people like poppers, but that shit's real bad for you, so stay away from that.
If you just want the tasty pleasure rush, try mango. That shit tastes like sunshine and happiness.
@linnea The "ALL HAIL SATAN" idea is brilliant.
Other similar phrases that could be funny:
"Embrace the holy spirit!"
"The power of christ compels you!"
"I am the lord!"
"By Teutates!" (Asterix reference haha)
"To Asgaard!"
"Jai Kalika Mahapralaya!"
"Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn"
@staylucky, "MILK WAS A BAAAAD CHOICE!!" Hahaha too many of Will Ferrel's lines are oddly perfect for this exercise…
@manimal The "To Asgaard" is brilliant: 1st, you convey that you're a god, 2nd it's like high up there, similar to the 7th heaven, how fitting.
@nan0fire, Gods don't go to Asgaard, men do, but only if they die like a man.
My thoughts on the quote was more like "I'm gonna fuck you till I drop dead."
We really need more of these posts and less posts about drugs. We've got all the drugs we need inside of our bodies. I'm going to try the HP one next – it's kind of hard to remind yourself of saying it though.
@manimal ; it seems we're both right – it's where the gods dwell, and there is also a hall inside of asgaard where men of valor that have died go; "valhalla" – but this is completely beside the point of this thread. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valhalla

Ty Hensley, who was the Yankees' first-round pick last June, is expected to miss at least 2-3 months after undergoing surgery to repair a right hip impingement.
According to George King of the New York Post the same doctor who performed hip surgery on Alex Rodriguez will do the honors with Hensley, who had his signing bonus dropped from $1.6 million to $1.2 million due to a previous shoulder "abnormality."
Drafted 30th overall out of an Oklahoma high school, Hensley appeared in just five rookie-ball games after signing.
- slartibartfast4242 - Apr 3, 2013 at 2:37 PM
Oh boy! As if losing Manny Banuelos and Jose Campos to Tommy John, Michael Pineda to shoulder surgery and Dellin Betances to in-effectivness weren't enough.
The Yankees this year seem hapless all the way up from majors down to the minors. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that at least Rafael Depaula and Jose Ramirez would make it through the season unscathed.
- historiophiliac - Apr 3, 2013 at 2:42 PM
OMG, the DOOM! is infectious. Run, kid, Run!
Also, Hensley!
(Geez, I'm gonna have to start thanking the guys for our daily dose of Frying Pan awesomeness at this rate.)
- kelshannon19 - Apr 3, 2013 at 4:15 PM
The Yankees have prospects?
- turdfurgerson68 - Apr 3, 2013 at 5:00 PM
Not a problem, the Yankees will just buy their way out of…oh right, George 'winning is everything' Steinbrenner is no more.
In his place are his sons who care about the bottom line.
Welcome to reality Yankee fans…and last place (for the foreseeable future)

Effect of the presence of females on plasma testosterone concentration of male marsupial bandicoots, Isoodon macrourus, housed in enclosures. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 1936927 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
To determine whether the presence of sexually active females influences the reproductive processes of the male bandicoot, plasma testosterone concentrations were monitored in males isolated from females. Blood samples were obtained weekly from 8 male bandicoots housed with females and from 12 male bandicoots in an enclosure without females. Reproductive tracts were obtained from 7 of the male bandicoots of the latter group during the breeding season. In both groups plasma testosterone increased prior to the start of the breeding season and was not influenced by the absence of adult females. There was no significant difference in testosterone concentrations between groups at any time of year. Testicular, epididymal, and prostatic weights of males housed without females were similar to those reported for male bandicoots housed with adult females during the breeding season. These results demonstrate that the seasonal change in reproductive function in the male are not mediated via the female. |

Sylvia Plath effect
The Sylvia Plath effect is the phenomenon that poets are more susceptible to mental illness than other creative writers. The term was coined in 2001 by psychologist James C. Kaufman. Although many studies (e.g., Andreasen, 1987; Jamison, 1989; Ludwig, 1995) have demonstrated that creative writers are prone to suffer from mental illness, this relationship has not been examined in depth. This early finding has been dubbed "the Sylvia Plath effect", and implications and possibilities for future research are discussed.[1] Kaufman's work further demonstrated that female poets were more likely to suffer from mental illness than any other class of writers. In addition, female poets were more likely to be mentally ill than other eminent women, such as politicians, actresses, and artists.[1][2]
The effect is named after Sylvia Plath, who committed suicide at the age of 30 after several attempts throughout her life.
Supporting evidence[edit]
In Study One, 1,629 writers were analyzed for signs of mental illness. Female poets were found to be significantly more likely to suffer from mental illness than female fiction writers or male writers of any type. Study Two extended the analysis to 520 eminent women (poets, fiction writers, non-fiction writers, visual artists, politicians, and actresses), and again found the poets to be significantly more likely to experience mental illness.[1]
In another study performed by the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Kentucky Medical Center, female writers were found to be more likely to suffer not only from mood disorders, but also from panic attacks, general anxiety, drug abuse, and eating disorders. The rates of multiple mental disorders were also higher among these writers. Although it was not explored in depth, abuse during childhood (physical or sexual) also loomed as a possible contributor to psychological issues in adulthood. The cumulative psychopathology scores of subjects, their reported exposure to abuse during childhood, mental difficulties in their mothers, and the combined creativity scores of their parents represented significant predictors of their illnesses. The high rates of certain emotional disorders in female writers suggested a direct relationship between creativity and psychopathology, but the relationships were not clear-cut. As the results of the predictive analysis indicated, familial and environmental factors also appeared to play a role.[3]
Sylvia Plath[edit]
Although it has been suggested that Plath did not intend to kill herself, Dr. John Horder (her close friend), felt she was at risk and prescribed her antidepressants mere days before her death. He also visited with her daily and made many attempts to have her admitted to a hospital. Upon her refusal, he made arrangements for a live-in nurse.[4]
Some critics have argued that because anti-depressants usually take up to three weeks to take effect, her prescription from Horder may not have been of any help.[5] Others say that Plath's American doctor had warned her never again to take the anti-depressant drug prescribed by Horder as it was found to worsen her depression, but he supposedly prescribed it under a proprietary name which she did not recognize.[6]
Plath, on February 11, 1963, was found dead of carbon monoxide poisoning in her kitchen after thrusting her head in the oven. She sealed the rooms between the kitchen and her sleeping children with wet towels and cloths.
Female writers[edit]
Male writers[edit]
Sex differences[edit]
In Western societies, studies have shown that women have higher rates of mental illness than men.[citation needed] From early adolescence through adulthood, women are twice as likely as men to experience depression.[7] Furthermore, it has been shown in certain studies that married women are more likely to suffer from ailments such as depression than single women.[citation needed] In relation to the effect proposed by Kaufman, it should be noted that Sylvia Plath was married at the time of her suicide.
Plath's illness and suicide have spawned many articles in scientific journals, but almost all have been focused on issues of psychodynamic explanation and have been unsuccessful in dealing directly with the clinical history and diagnosis. With premature death as a strict censor, one can speculate that, at some point, had she lived longer, she might have developed a manic psychosis.[citation needed] Undeniably, the view has been broadly proliferated that hers was a typical manic-depressive illness.[8]

Stop insulting my dog....and therefore me!
(59 Posts)I own a chihuahua. He is lovely. He is clever, well behaved, affectionate, and ok....quite small. This does not mean he is a rat, something a proper dog would eat for breakfast, something that would be nice in a sandwich, or any of the other hilarious comments that we have heard in the last few days.
He's part of our family, so leave him alone!
Reading that back, it sounds like I mean other posters on here, but it's not. It's friends and family who think its amusing to poke fun at our beloved little pooch.
Never known a chihuahua that wasn't convinced it was the size of a Great Dane and had enough character for 10 dogs!
I feel your pain. I was terribly hurt when my Lab was described as "Blah".
I HATE when people do that!
I don't understand why people think its ok to insult someone's dog? They wouldn't walk up to a dog and call it ugly would they so why would they call it a rat or something like that?
I don't have a little dog but I love all kinds of dogs and can't stand people to think small dogs 'don't count'
But labs are smiley and bouncy and fab! And too big for me!
Probably not too big for our boy though, who totally rules over pils two golden retrievers, they follow him around the garden and relinquish bones to him whenever he does his mad wee growl at them
Labs are "blah"?
Labs are lovely!
Some people on the other hand? Blah!
The woman who said it had a Labradoodle
My Lab obeys all smaller dogs
Which is as it should be Honeydragon !
When we got whippy, some people said "eeeuwww, they are too skinny, get a nice spaniel". He is the best dog EVER (fact). He is not "eeeuwww". He is fab and cuddly and waggy and we couldn't have chosen a better dog.
I had somebody actually recoil from my puppy when they realised it was a Rottweiler they were stroking in the vet's waiting room.
Not to mention all the devil dog comments, he's only 6 months old -he's still at the people are for licking and dogs are for bouncing at stage! (not that I expect him or want him to turn into a snarling beast, but he's still a baby.)
I have a spaniel. He looks like he belongs on a greetings card. He is a right bastard. You can't judge a dog on looks. The amount of people who lead their bouncy puppies when they see my friend's rottie (named 'Princess', wearing a sparkly pink collar and an utter darling), yet let their precious pooch run up to my bastard spaniel.....nnnggghhhh <chokes on frustration>
Have you considered a name change? It it time for ChickensHaveBastardSpaniels, yet?
awwww poor bastard spaniel lol
Whats his name>?
His name is Jasper, and he is a darling with people. Adores them. But he bloody hates other dogs. He's fine as long as they leave him alone, but a bouncy, enthusiastic dog running towards him makes him go all stiff and pointy, and then if they don't pay attention to his 'I'm not interested, look at my body language' stuff, he jumps at their mouth and makes a lot of blood curdling noise. Most other dogs grumble at him in a 'Well, up yours boyo' way and then strut away in high dudgeon. Thankfully, no one is actually hurt. I have taken to yelling at the owners of advancing hounds 'He's not friendly! He's a bastard!'. Yet still I get 'Oh, it's fine! Mine is friendly!'. Oh, well that's ok then <head/desk> We are training, but bloody hell it's hard work.
Exit and me have our very own Bastard Spaniel club. She knows my pain.
Haha, jasper the bastard spaniel <3
It reminds me of an old boy round here who i used to see walking his furious bastard jack russell. He used to have a walking stick that was all bitemarked and chewed as everytime furious jack russell would see another dog he would go mental and the old man would put the walking stick in front of him, and then the JR would savage the walking stick and practically hang off the end of it, taking all his anger at the other dogs mere existence out on it.
It should have been in a comedy sketch.
Hully has befriended a bastard Spanial cross we meet infrequently on field walks. She radiates snarling "get away you loopy fuck nugget signals>> so Hully lies down tummy exposed.
I have walked with the owner for 40 minutes of
<<bounce bounce>>
<<grrrrrrrnrrrrrarrrgh grrrrrr>>
<<flop over. See my tummy!>>
<<humph>> <<superior Spanial strut>>
<<sniff sniff together>>
<<run together>>
<<bounce bounce>>
<<Grrrrraerrrnrrrrgh grrrrrrr>>
<<flop over. See my tummy...
You get the picture?
For 40 minutes.
BastardSpanielX's owner is thrilled as to them it is a successful off lead walk with another dog
Honey, that would also count as a success in my book. My bastard spaniel particularly loathes labs, for some reason, and the owners of labs tend to be the most upset at any bastard behaviours. He's generally fine with other bastard dogs, such as grumpy terriers and aloof greyhounds. But labs really twist his bastarding melon.
My dogs are all desert (not the pudding) rescues and have all had a very serious issue with men in boiler suits which is unfortunate because all workers wear them here. Cue us buying boiler suits online and all prancing around to desensitise them. It worked although hard hats still a nemisis
I walked around in a baseball cap for several days for similar reasons, theo. Awful hat hair. Awful.
If i was a dog i'd hate labs too.
didn't understand this until i purchased a ...... lab.
mine is deeply rude, has no manners and deserves every air snap, growl and bark she gets. she will learn as i will get there with her but she is too damned sociable and spaniels hate it. i have a friend with 7 of them and they all hate labradors. im told that labradors insist on arse sniffing first but labs like nose sniffing.
problem i get is that i apologise for my dog but other dog owners think it's their dog's fault because they're growling and air snapping. so i have to be really careful with what i say as my apology is sometimes miscronstrued as an accusation against their dog.
sorry dogs insist on arse sniffing but labradors like nose.
Because the dog is so going to get a complex........
I like all dog breeds but my preference is larger dogs... that said, my neighbours 2 JRT can kick the arse off my GSD in grumpiness and snapping. My 'dangerous dog' is a bloody rubbish scaredy dog and the old black lab... well he is deaf as a dodo, half blind and doesnt woof!
I have never known a chi who doesnt think he is the biggest dog in the park!
I have to laugh when my GSD plays with my mums little yorkie. My boy lies down, rolls over so the yorkie can jump on him and sticks his whole head in the sheps mouth!

Catalysis of the reaction: an N-acyl-L-amino acid + H2O = a carboxylate + an L-amino acid.
Catalysis of the reaction: ATP + L-aspartate + tRNA(Asp) = AMP + diphosphate + L-aspartyl-tRNA(Asp).
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with ATP, adenosine 5'-triphosphate, a universally important coenzyme and enzyme regulator.
Interacting non-covalently with a poly(A) RNA, a RNA molecule which has a tail of adenine bases.
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with any protein or protein complex (a complex of two or more proteins that may include other nonprotein molecules).
The process of coupling aspartate to aspartyl-tRNA, catalyzed by aspartyl-tRNA synthetase. In tRNA aminoacylation, the amino acid is first activated by linkage to AMP and then transferred to either the 2'- or the 3'-hydroxyl group of the 3'-adenosine residue of the tRNA.
The aggregation, arrangement and bonding together of a set of components to form a protein complex.
The cellular metabolic process in which a protein is formed, using the sequence of a mature mRNA molecule to specify the sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide chain. Translation is mediated by the ribosome, and begins with the formation of a ternary complex between aminoacylated initiator methionine tRNA, GTP, and initiation factor 2, which subsequently associates with the small subunit of the ribosome and an mRNA. Translation ends with the release of a polypeptide chain from the ribosome.
Protein involved in the biosynthesis of proteins from mRNA molecules. This process, called translation, is carried out by ribosomes, where activated amino acids are added to the nascent polypeptide chain.
Enzyme that activates an amino acid for translation by forming an aminoacyladenylate intermediate and then links this activated amino acid to the corresponding tRNA molecule (amino acid-tRNA, aminoacyl- tRNA). In general, a specific aminoacyl-tRNA synthase is available for each amino acid.
Enzyme that catalyzes the joining of two molecules coupled with the breakdown of a pyrophosphate bond in ATP or a similar triphosphate. Sometimes the terms "synthase", "synthetase" or "carboxylase" are also used for this class of enzymes.
Protein which is part of a reference proteome. Reference proteomes are a subset of proteomes that have been selected either manually or algorithmically according to a number of criteria to provide a broad coverage of the tree of life and a representative cross-section of the taxonomic diversity found within UniProtKB, as well as the proteomes of well-studied model organisms and other species of interest for biomedical research.

Members wary of alliance - Vavi
Comment on this storyPretoria - Battles over leadership could leave the ANC so fragmented that it would be "too weak to fight" the 2014 elections, Cosatu general secretary Zwelinzima Vavi has said - warning that if sanity did not prevail, more than mere positions could be lost.
Cosatu fears that the ANC's Mangaung conference "might just become the place where we kill ourselves as a movement".
Vavi cautioned that a fragmented party would be incapable of bringing about the radical transformation needed to create jobs and deal with poverty and made it clear a new leadership, which enjoyed the confidence of the "middle strata" as well as the rank and file, was needed.
Members of the national executive committee of the ANC needed to have "stature", he said.
Vavi was speaking to Ben Turok in an interview published in a special edition, dedicated to the ANC's four-day 53rd national conference in two weeks, of the journal that the veteran ANC MP edits, New Agenda.
The interview was conducted on November 13 and Vavi's appeal comes as the fraught nominations process has laid bare the bitter extent of infighting and divisions in the ANC's ranks, with the collapse at the weekend of three provincial conferences and the attempted assassination of the party's North West provincial secretary, Kabelo Mataboge.
While President Jacob Zuma appears to have the numbers needed to win a second term, there are mounting concerns in the ANC and the broader alliance about divisions becoming more entrenched after Mangaung - especially if there is a purge of people seen to have backed leadership change.
"One of our biggest fears is that the conference may just become the place where we kill ourselves as a movement - instead of the place where we resurrect and move in the direction of radical transformation," Vavi said, warning that union members were questioning Cosatu's continued role in the alliance.
"There will be no radical transformation led by a fragmented party, one that is not fighting for jobs and against poverty, where those things only get lip service, symbolic treatment… We want transformation, and transformation must be led by clear cadres. We need a new… national executive committee, [one] that can be seen to have gone through the eye of the needle, that has stature."
Cosatu was trying to get the ANC to agree to an "integrity pact".
"We want them to agree with us before Mangaung, and if that's not possible, we're going to pursue it after Mangaung. We can't continue on this route where so many of our leaders are conflicted by business and the overlap between their roles in political offices and in leadership [of the alliance organisations]."
Appealing for "unity in purpose", Vavi said there was a lot at stake.
"Sanity must prevail. Everyone must see what we are facing as a society, and realise that we're losing lots of friends that we shouldn't be losing. The result is that we not only lose the national project, but the non-racial project, the gender project, and the developmental 'better life' project."
But his urging that the ANC use the conference to take a critical look at itself was "falling on deaf ears".
"Can we make this conference not a place where we have battles for leadership and come out so badly injured and fragmented that we inevitably become too weak to fight the 2014 elections? Can we use this conference to win back the confidence of our people, particularly the middle strata of society, to believe that we can be united around a correct platform of progressive developmental programmes?"
Vavi said Cosatu's membership - at 1.2 million, larger than the ANC's - was questioning its continued alliance with the ANC. While Cosatu remained largely blue-collar, it also represented young professionals, most of whom were sophisticated and articulate, and many of whom were militant and impatient.
They were "questioning (the alliance) all the time", Vavi said.
"They are likely to be more intolerant… they have no patience, they read and they are quite up to date with what's happening in the country. And they're expressing their views about the alliance, including some of Cosatu's traditional choices.
Cosatu wanted the ANC to agree at Mangaung that a new income policy was needed, to address poverty and the massive wage gap between workers and bosses.
"This ANC conference provides us an opportunity to present a package of policies that will include minimum living levels, wages and income gaps, the meaning of monetary and fiscal policies, tax policies.
"Without developing new income policies, we can shout against growing inequalities until we're blue in the face, but they will continue to grow. We can have symbolic 12-month freezes at the top, but inequalities will not be arrested. So the ANC conference is absolutely critical…There is a lot at stake."

David is the consummate professional. He is always prepared, on time and explains each detail of the issue to me as to keep me informed as to what process to expect net. I would recommend Atty. Flaherty to anyone looking to succeed in a courtroom, or to appear on their behalf in any legal matter.
While I wouldnt say there was complete absence of communication, this attorney kept me woefully uninformed. I do not recommend this attorney having compared this experience to others in the field who were far more engaging and helpful.
Mr. Flaherty helped me with an OUI case that went to trial. There were many circumstantial facts that were used against me, but he managed to counterpunch them in the court room. He did a great job and is the reason why I was found not guilty. It was a major relief for my driving record, finances and possible career opportunities. I highly recommend Mr. Flaherty for those of you who are looking for assistance in the court of law.
David Flaherty it very good at what he does. i was in court for a traffic ticket and i felt that i wasn't able to get it off,but David made me feel as if there was still hope. he is very considerate, responsive and trustworthy. highly recommended !
I had a speeding ticket which i couldnt afford to keep on my record. David helped me out and i was able to get the ticket taken away.
After my case was over with mr flaherty i offered to pay him more than the court asked for. I believed the quality of work david displayed was worth so much more. His communication skills, personality and court room class are undisputed.
I had Dave do a case for me and his prices are phenomenal. He kept me updated on any important information I needed to know. Also he's amazing I was in and out of court on a busy day and he got me exactly what I needed and my case was closed. He's honestly a great guy.
I worked with David on a few different projects and he was great helping me with every issue that seemed to arise and taking care of some I had not anticipated. Very reasonable rates and very responsive to all of my needs. I will be using David again and again moving forward.
David Flaherty is the best lawyer I know who has helped me in several times of need. He explained the landlord/tenant laws and executed a powerful demand letter to my landlord which helped me immensely. He was ready to go to court with me, should that situation arise. He is very knowledgeable and has a wonderfully aggressive approach on behalf of his clients. He has helped me on several legal issues swiftly with incredible effectiveness. I would recommend him to anyone who has any type of legal issue. Thanks you Dave for everything!!!
Mr. Flaherty is an outstanding attorney, I have used him for years in dealing with my multiple commercial and residential properties. He deals with everything from the leases and evictions to setting up LLCs and my estate planning. Very knowledgable and well known in Quincy's court house. I highly recommend attorney Flaherty .

Laloux and Agile Adoption
My Story
I had invested years of my life in a ground up, large-scale agile adoption. The early years of the adoption seemed to go at breakneck speed. Teams were adopting scrum with great success. People were feeling more engaged, products were getting better, and the company was benefiting. And then it felt like we hit a wall. Despite what felt to me like a groundswell of support from teams, managers, and directors, we were struggling to make the leap to real organizational agility.
The Breakthrough
While reviewing a draft of a good friend's upcoming book, a single reference leaped off the page:
"There is … evidence that the developmental stage of the CEO determines the success of large-scale transformation programs." (Tolbert, cited by Laloux, 2014)
I immediately bought and read Frederic Laloux's book Reinventing Organizations, which provides a comprehensive overview of how humans have organized in groups over the centuries. The prevailing perspective today (what Laloux labels "orange") seemed to describe my organization in an almost clairvoyant way. It helped me make sense of what my organization valued the most, how I could continue to be effective in my role as agile transformation leader, and what was likely possible given our cultural values.

England's Care gets his shot at redemption
Comment on this storyEngland 'bad boy' Danny Care makes his first appearance in nearly a year Wednesday and hopes to create headlines on the field for a change.
Head coach Stuart Lancaster included the Harlequins scrum-half in his team for the first of two midweek matches against the South African Barbarians on a tour featuring three Tests.
England lost the first 22-15 at Kings Park in Durban last weekend and face the Springboks again this Saturday at Ellis Park in Johannesburg and a week later at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Port Elizabeth.
Lancaster, who succeeded Martin Johnson after England made a last-eight exit from the 2011 Rugby World Cup, wants his 'dirt trackers' to excel against the Baa Baas at GWK Stadium in Kimberley and put pressure on the Test incumbents.
Among those he will be expecting much from is 25-year-old Care, who earned the last of 31 caps in a World Cup warm-up against Wales at Twickenham 10 months ago.
After being ruled out of the World Cup by a toe injury, Care was arrested four times in three months for drink driving and an alleged sexual offence and was ignored for the Six Nations in which England finished second behind Wales.
That achievement won 42-year-old Lancaster a four-year contract up to the 2015 World Cup in England and the new coach has emphasised discipline after several embarrassing off-field incidents during the World Cup in New Zealand.
"I am pleased with the progress made by Danny and the maturity he is showing. However, he is treading a fine line and must take advantage of the great opportunity presented to him this Wednesday," stressed the coach.
It is all change for England against the Baa Baas with none of the first Test starting line-up chosen and only two of the replacements Ä scrum-half Lee Dickson and lock Tom Palmer Ä on the bench in the northern Cape city.
"There is a lot of competition for places across the board and Wednesday gives these players a chance to lay down a marker, and for the whole squad to build some momentum toward the second Test," added Lancaster.
Lock George Robson leads the men in white in the absence of rested Harlequins team-mate Chris Robshaw and the pack includes flank James Haskell, who has completed a stint with New Zealand Super 15 outfit Otago Highlanders.
Veteran Charlie Hodgson partners Care at half-back, Wasps flier Christian Wade gets a chance to impress on the left wing and Anthony Allen and Jordan Turner-Hall team up at centre.
The South African Barbarians enjoy a rare outing with Super 15
and Currie Cup fixture lists curtailing opportunities in recent seasons, and the side is built around seven Eastern Province Kings and five players from Boland.
Kings inside centre Wayne Stevens captains the Baa Baas, who will be coached in both games by Jimmy Stonehouse from the Mpumalanga Pumas, who were relegated last season when the Currie Cup premier league was trimmed to six sides. – Sapa-AFP

About Founders Day
Founders Day is a reminder of the substantial role that PTA has played locally, regionally, and nationally in supporting parent involvement and working on behalf of all children and families. It's a time to reflect and take pride in our many accomplishments, and to renew our commitment to be a powerful voice for all children, a relevant resource for parents, and a strong advocate for public education.
PTA's founders Phoebe Apperson Hearst and Alice McLellan Birney, and the founder of Georgia's Congress of Colored Parents and Teachers, Selena Sloan Butler, were women of imagination and courage. They understood the power of individual action, worked beyond the accepted barriers of their day, and took action to literally change the world.
They had a simple idea—to improve the lives and futures of all of our children. As much as other conditions in America may have changed, that idea has not. PTAs keep it alive.
Today, PTA is the largest volunteer child advocacy organization in the nation. Our members represent the ethnic diversity of our nation, and they come from the ranks of traditional families, single-parent households, blended families, grandparents, and other caring adults. Together, we continue to serve as the conscience of the country for children and youth.

NASCAR wrecking champion Danica Patrick has one message for the media: don't refer to her as a 'sex symbol'. The racer who is known for her modelish poses and being only the third woman to race NASCAR at Daytona does not want media attention to focus on her looks. Rather, she wants all the focus to be on her skill. And while it is impressive that she had the chance to race in Daytona and even more impressive that she […]
