A new theory has emerged that the death of British businessman Neil Heywood may have been orchestrated by Bo Xilai, after the discovery that his wife had been having an affair with the British businessman, reported Boxun News, a citizen journalism site that is sourced mostly by anonymous users and frequently makes claims that are difficult to prove.
Wild rumors have continued to circulate over what exactly caused the ouster of disgraced former Chongqing Communist Party secretary Bo Xilai last month, and the attempted US defection of his former police chief Wang Lijun the month before. In recent weeks, the death of Neil Heywood, a British businessman with alleged ties to the Bo family, was linked to the mystery by both Chinese and international media, with sources claiming that it was Bo's anger over Wang's investigation into Heywood's unusual death that provided the flash point for China's biggest political story since the Tiananmen Square violence of 1989.
Despite denials from Heywood's family that he had any business dealings with Bo, news reports have claimed that Heywood had acted as a "white glove" for Bo's money laundering activities and that he was a business consultant for a firm run by Bo's wife, Gu Kailai. Sources have also claimed that Heywood's death in a Chongqing hotel room last November was not an accident, as Chinese authorities initially ruled, and that he was poisoned by Gu over a financial dispute.
An alternative theory has now been presented by Boxun — that Heywood's death was ordered by Bo because of an affair he had had with Gu. According to this formulation, the murder was carried out by Che Keming, former director of China's National Security Agency in Dalian, a port city in the country's northeast, where Bo was once mayor.
Boxun cited a Wall Street Journal article in which Heywood told friends he was concerned for his safety, and reported that this was due to his having fallen in love with the wife of a high-ranking Communist Party official. This theory may explain why the Wall Street Journal also reported a source as saying that Gu had demanded Heywood divorce his Chinese wife.
Notwithstanding Bo's claims that Gu, once a high-powered lawyer, was a stay-at-home mother who gave up her career more than two decades ago, the Journal's investigation has revealed that she had in fact been involved in various business dealings in the US and UK throughout.
Gu reportedly ran her own company — which she called the Law Office of Horus L Kai — and was also involved in a firm called Horas Consultancy & Investment, which advised clients wanting to do business in China. She was said to have relied on a small group of advisers and friends that included Heywood, American businessman Larry Cheng and French architect Patrick Henri Devillers, all of whom had become close to the family during their time in Dalian and Beijing.
The investigation also found that Gu had been battling depression in recent years and that her relationship with her ambitious husband was growing more distant in his quest for a spot in the party's ruling circles, a dream that has been all but shattered by recent events.

Marginal Returns of Exercise
We've written fairly extensively on the topic of diminishing marginal returns in PPC, in catalog circulation…in most things in life.
At some point the benefits of doing more become less and less and less to the point that it isn't worth the investment of time, energy and money. Unfortunately, it's rarely clear where we are on that curve at any point in time, nor what the rest of the curve looks like.
However it can be empowering to realize that by wisely pursuing the most cost-effective path, the first 50% of the effort gets you far more than 50% of the benefits.
Take exercise for an example. When the Institute of Medicine proclaimed that people need to get an hour of moderately intense exercise every day of the week I wouldn't be surprised if a number of people gave up in defeat.
Undoubtedly more is usually better, but health experts should point out that just walking for a half an hour 3 days a week provides tremendous benefits. {At least, that's what I'm telling myself, and I'd appreciate it if none of you disabuse me of that notion.}
We all have more to do in a day than we can do to the nth degree. The most "effective" people are the ones who don't let the perfect become the enemy of the good. Generating 90% of the benefits from 10 different projects generates far more benefit overall than sweating the last details of 2 projects in the same amount of time.

Dr. Ben Carson, Crackpot
By Susan Zakin
By Michael Hudson
The craziest thing about the Republican presidential contest isn't that Donald Trump is in the lead. It's that Dr. Ben Carson—who truly seems to have lost his mind—is in second place and gaining fast. Trump may be a blowhard, but Carson has proved himself to be a crackpot of the first order. Of all the GOP contenders, he's the scariest.
Just as the immediate aftereffects of Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans residents in different ways—depending on race, class and other factors—the story of the city's recovery a decade later varies, depending on who tells it.
The presidential candidate is little known among minorities. He will have to convince those communities that his focus on economic inequality is tightly tied to their interests, too.

The more I read about Dolezal and her life in "blackface," the angrier I got. Here are 10 reasons her critics are on solid ground in denouncing her.
A new generation of young black radicals is opting for revolution—a generation that sees through the facade of the corporate state and has rejected as sellouts Obama, Sharpton, Jackson, Dyson and others among the African-American political elite.
In 1865, former slaves first heard the broken promise that they would receive "40 acres and a mule" to start their new lives. Now, 150 years later, the movement seeking compensation and healing for the slaves' descendants is coming back to life.
For the last seven weeks, the comedian has been publicly documenting his police stops to highlight racial profiling.
A new study finds that people have higher expectations of individuals described as "African-American" as opposed to "black."
Republicans are celebrating. In less than two months they will hold a majority in the U.S. Senate and in the House of Representatives.
Half a century ago, FBI chief J. Edgar Hoover had what he clearly considered to be a big problem in the form of civil rights galvanizer Martin Luther King Jr.
When people of color, especially black Americans, are constantly treated with suspicion by both society and law enforcement, they are expected to just take it silently and "file that complaint later."
He's spent almost six years guiding the Justice Department through some tricky terrain—think Benghazi, Ferguson and DOMA—and Thursday, Eric Holder made it known he is preparing to exit his position as U.S. attorney general.
The topic of racism often generates discussions of justice, equality, freedom and human rights. But what about trauma?
The events of this summer in Ferguson, Mo., highlighted an ugly truth to mainstream Americans: Black men in this country are viewed as so suspicious by law enforcement that they are often shot first and questioned later.
The medical field has "race corrected" measurements that just go to show there are inherent biases that run through many threads in everyday life, despite our trust in seemingly objective science.
This is the kind of story that sounds like the makings of a stirring indie movie—and a good mystery, more specifically.
Racial justice activists and prison abolition groups have long argued that the "school-to-prison" pipeline funnels young black kids into the criminal justice system, with higher rates of school suspension and arrest compared with nonblack kids for the same infractions.
The short answer is yes and no.

In separate scandals, police in suburban cities outside Detroit and Miami have been targeting blacks in disgusting abuses of their civil rights, including allegedly forcing a mentally ill black man to "dance like a chimp" while a cop recorded him, then shared the video with friends.
The U.S. Army
Minorities in recent years have been the disproportionate target of police dogs used by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, but a new special counsel's report found that for the first six months of this year, all arrest suspects bitten by Sheriff's Department police dogs were African-American or Latino. And the dogs are deployed at an overwhelmingly higher rate in poor neighborhoods than in wealthy ones.

Researchers at the University of Rochester in New York have discovered links between geographic areas of the South where slavery and the plantation economy dominated, and modern attitudes toward African-Americans and political conservatism. And it's somewhat hereditary, with new generations reflecting the racial and social attitudes of their parents, according to the new study.

We can infer that Lloyd Marcus may be winking at us—saying that African-American may still equal un-American. After all, if African-American actually meant American and if race didn't matter, then Marcus wouldn't have to make the gesture. Let's think about it.

Martin Luther King Day has become a yearly ritual to turn a black radical into a red-white-and-blue icon. It has become a day to celebrate ourselves for "overcoming" racism and "fulfilling" King's dream. It is a day filled with old sound bites about little black children and little white children that, given the state of America, would enrage King.

Tuesday's vote in favor of same-sex marriage at the District council in Washington, D.C., brought up some tensions among members of the local African-American community. Some have less trouble viewing the issue as a civil rights struggle than others, and generational differences appear to have something to do with it.
Gary Phillips / Parker Publishing
Truthdig is pleased to present an excerpt from Gary Phillips' novel "Freedom's Fight," which interweaves real historical figures and situations in a fictive narrative about World War II, focusing not just on the black soldier's struggle, but also on the debates various civil rights groups had about the war stateside.
Although Barack Obama himself apparently disagrees with Jimmy Carter's assessment that some of the vitriol recently directed at the president is propelled by racism, Carter reiterated and expanded upon his claim during a town hall meeting Wednesday night at Atlanta's Emory University.
The New York Post may yet discover that not all publicity is good publicity, particularly when it comes to the Rupert Murdoch-owned paper's decision to run a cartoon on Wednesday linking Washington politicians (perhaps one in particular) to a marauding chimpanzee. The cartoon sparked an uproar that on Thursday found hundreds of protesters demanding a boycott of the Post by readers and advertisers.
On Monday, the U.S. Senate gave the nod to Eric Holder, President Barack Obama's pick for attorney general, making Holder the first African-American put in charge of the Justice Department.
Could this be the Republican Party's attempted answer to Barack Obama? Or is that too cynical a read on the new appointment of the GOP's first African-American party chairman, former Maryland Lt. Gov. Michael Steele?

So after lots of research I felt that the shape of this elbow pad was the correct one for GB1.
I have been waiting for 2 weeks now to get the package in the mail. I tracked it online and saw that it was to be delivered today. I practically ran to the door from my car when I got home from work. I ripped open the package to find this:
What the shit! I have no clue how I will ever get those stickers off, yet alone the fact that the shape is closer to the GB2 design.

Man, you should send those back and say HEY, these do NOT look like the picture man!! Refund or send correct!!

Well i had the same problem with the extra elastic in the pads but what i did was i flipped the pad inside out and pulled the extra from both sides in and stitched "tacks" every half an inch at the end of the material(which was now in the center of the inside of the pad. That way the pads maintain the elbow pad look and never come undone and as far as returning it. he can say that the picture is of a larger pad because it is. Those older ones are longer in the pad area so they sent not only a different style but different size and pictures are everything and restocking fee's can't be charged if items not correct. i argued over fittings i ordered because the were way to large and didn't match the picture at all i picture of a small hex head 90 degree elbow is not closely matched by and rectangular box twice the size and and twice the width and i told the person i would like to speak to someone higher then them and they changed there tune because the company knew that there lazy attitude was at fault. If the add or discription doesn't state "item pictured may be different then item shipped" then you are to expect the item pictured is what your getting.

Does anyone have pics of the Martin pads while wearing them? I wanna know what they actually look like in action, cuz if they look decent I'll probably get some. From the package they look okay in my book. If only a little flat and circular....

I must be the only one who's put mine in nearly boiling water to dye them? Or maybe there was some kind of mineral in my water here that helped this process, but as I stated in another thread, boiling the pads (as it is directed to do upon dying them, according to my RIT dye directions) loosens and peals away the lettering on the pads so that you never even knew letters were once on the product. No sanding, cutting, pealing, etc.. that may lead to the result of destroyed pads - just heat up some water in a pot on the stove, and drop them in.

Traditional NFC powers Green Bay and San Francisco meet in the wild card round Sunday, and that should have a familiar feel to it.
This marks the seventh time those teams have met in the postseason since 1995-96. The Packers hold a 4-2 advantage in the previous playoff meetings, which have produced several memorable moments.
A closer look:
Packers 27, 49ers 17
When: Jan. 6, 1996, Candlestick Park
Star: Bret Favre threw first-half TDs to tight ends Keith Jackson and Mark Chmura to build a 21-3 lead. Favre finished 21-of-28 for 299 yards.
Key Play: Wayne Simmons' hit on fullback Adam Walker forced a fumble, which Craig Newsome scooped up for a 31-yard touchdown to give Green Bay a 7-0 lead. That set the tone for the quick start.
Key Stat: Four players had 100 or more receiving yards: Jerry Rice (117), Brent Jones (112), Robert Brooks (103) and Jackson (101).
Aftermath: Green Bay joined San Francisco and Dallas as a legit NFC power, but the Cowboys beat the Packers in the NFC championship.
Packers 35, 49ers 14
When: Jan. 4, 1997, Lambeau Field
Star: In what is now called the "Mud Bowl," Edgar Bennett helped Green Bay control the clock with 17 carries for 80 yards and two TDs.
Key Play: After the Packers forced a three-and-out on the game's opening possession, Desmond Howard scored a TD on a 71-yard punt return.
Key Stat: How sloppy were field conditions? Green Bay totaled 210 yards, while the 49ers had just 196.
Aftermath: Green Bay went on to beat New England in Super Bowl XXXI, and Howard earned Super Bowl MVP honors.
Packers 23, 49ers 10
When: Jan. 11, 1998, Candlestick Park
Star: Dorsey Levens rushed 27 times for 114 yards, including a 5-yard TD in the fourth quarter for a commanding 23-3 lead.
Key Play: Eugene Robinson intercepted Steve Young in the second quarter, and the ensuing 58-yard return set up a 27-yard TD pass from Brett Favre to Antonio Freeman for a 10-0 lead.
Key Stat: Levens was the only player to rush for 100 yards against San Francisco that season.
Aftermath: Green Bay won back-to-back conference championships (a feat that hasn't been repeated in the NFC since), but the Packers lose to Denver in Super Bowl XXXII.
49ers 30, Packers 27
When: Jan. 3, 1999, Candlestick Park
Star: Steve Young didn't have his best game (182 yards, three TDs, two INTs), but he led the game-winning drive after Green Bay took a 27-23 lead with 1:56 remaining.
Key Play: Young hit Terrell Owens with a 25-yard TD pass between two defenders with 3 seconds remaining for the win. It's known as "The Catch II."
Key Stat: The Packers limited Jerry Rice to one reception for six yards, a controversial catch on the game-winning drive in which Rice appeared to fumble.
Aftermath: It's considered one of the greatest playoff games in NFL history. San Francisco loses to Atlanta in the divisional playoffs. Green Bay coach Mike Holmgren resigns then takes over as head coach and general manager in Seattle.
Packers 25, 49ers 15
When: Jan. 13, 2002, Lambeau Field
Star: Brett Favre haunted the 49ers again by going 22-of-29 for 269 yards and two TDs.
Key Play: With the Packers clinging to an 18-15 lead in the fourth quarter, Jeff Garcia tries to hit Terrell Owens down the sideline. Mike McKenzie tips the pass, however, and Tyrone Williams gets the interception. Green Bay scores the game-clinching TD on the ensuing drive.
Key Stat: Favre threw for just 43 yards in the first half, but he had 226 passing yards in the second half.
Aftermath: The Packers' success is short lived. Favre throws six interceptions the following week in a loss at St. Louis.
49ers 45, Packers 31
When: Jan. 12, 2013, Candlestick Park
Star: Colin Kaepernick threw a pick six to Sam Shields on his first pass, but he shook that off to account for 444 total yards and four TDs.
Key Play: The Packers tied the score at 24-24 with 8:25 left in the third quarter, but Kaepernick broke the tie with a 56-yard run on an option read. The 49ers tacked on two more TDs in the fourth quarter to open up the win.

David Arquette Stays Busy Fighting Hunger in America
Tonight, Arquette will host a performance in LA by recording artist Spencer Day, with all proceeds going to Feeding America. For the occasion, Arquette spoke with PopEater about why he sees music and charity intertwined, what thrills him most about 'Scream 4' and the philosophy he uses to parse out all these projects.
What's happening with this event tonight?
I'm hosting an event where Spencer Day is playing at the Upright Cabaret in Los Angeles. All the proceeds from tonight's event go toward Feeding America. Also, anybody who downloads his song 'Better Way' will provide seven meals for hungry Americans. It's a really great thing Spencer's doing. He did a video for that song which used some Feeding America footage and shows what hungry Americans are dealing with.
That's great.
Yeah. Spencer really feels a connection with it -- when he first came to Los Angeles, he was struggling and living out of his car, often going to bed hungry. He'd go to food pantries. He knows firsthand what it's like. His commitment to donate all these proceeds is such a stand-up move; it's really difficult to get record companies to back something like that.
How long have you been involved with Feeding America?
Two years. It's been a great relationship, getting to know the people we're helping and the people that have been working to try to eliminate hunger in America for 20, 30 years is really a joy.
How'd you get involved?
They approached me when they were changing their name from America's Second Harvest to Feeding America. I initially got involved just to help them promote that name change. But the more I got involved, the more I started seeing what the faces of hunger in America look like -- they're working Americans, they're seniors living on a fixed income. It's not what you'd typically expect. In a country that's as wealthy as ours, we shouldn't have people that don't know where their next meal's coming from.
What's something that's really hit you during your work with Feeding America?
I've had tons of experiences... seeing a kid, when you give 'em a bag of food and they just go right into it, eating something healthy, after having to eat anything they can. I ran into an actor who told me he was in 'Che' two years ago and now he was in this line, waiting for a bag of food. It was an intense reality.
You're a pretty involved guy. A lot of it seems tied in with music -- you do a clothing line with Ben Harper, you did the 'Rock a Little, Feed a Lot' concert with Harper and Sheryl Crow...
It's a close connection -- music talks to the soul, the body needs food, food provides energy and inspiration for people to be creative and productive in their lives.
And it's got to be a blast, being a fan of someone and then getting to work with them and become close with them.
It's unbelievable, man, when you're friends with these incredible, world-class musicians. Sheryl Crow will come over and tease us with this new song and it's the most incredible, beautiful song you've ever heard, and we get a sneak peek at it. It's such an amazing opportunity.
Has your five-year-old daughter Coco exhibited any musical tendencies?
She's taking piano lessons, flute lessons and learning how to read scales and write notes. I'm taking trumpet lessons. I'm really enjoying it.
We've heard you and Courteney are thinking about adopting a child soon?
No. We don't have any plans on it, no. That was just something Bonnie Hunt asked us if we'd be open to it and I said yeah, and then suddenly we're "adopting." We probably won't.
How do you feel about Courteney leading this whole cougar thing with her show 'Cougar Town'?
I think it's funny. She's played such a great character and the writers have done such a good job that I think it's transcended the initial "cougar" drawing. They're even discussing changing the title since it's sort of expanded now.
'Scream 4' is coming up, right?
I think we're filming it in June. Wes Craven just signed up; he's fully on board. That excited me more than anything.
Have you and Courteney done anything on-screen together since 'Scream 3' in 2000?
Just in Feeding America public service announcements. [Laughs]
'Scream' came out in 1996, about 15 years after the slasher genre's heyday, and re-energized the style. Now it's been another 15 years. How will the new flick address that?
I think it's gonna be really interesting. They'll have a lot of material to draw from with 'Saw' and 'Avatar' and 'The Lord of the Rings' and 'Harry Potter' and all these different franchises that have come out since -- they'll be able to have a lot of fun with those pop culture references being fresh and up-to-date.
Anything else on your plate lately?
There's something called Stamp Out Hunger on May 8. Everyone, nationwide, should leave a bag of non-perishable groceries by their mailbox and the letter carrier will take it to the local food bank. Courteney and I have been doing an ad campaign for that.
How do you divvy up all these projects?
You just try to keep all the balls in the air and do what's important to you and to others. I've got this new philosophy I learned in therapy, it's something I've been trying to live my life by. There's high synergy or low synergy. High synergy is when you do something that is good for you, but it's also good for the other person you're working with. Low synergy is when it's good for you, but it doesn't matter how it affects the other person, and it's typically negative toward them. So that's been my philosophy, trying to do things that work for me, positive experiences or business ventures, but are also positive for the people I'm involved with. It's a really interesting philosophy. If people adapted it in the corporate world more, instead of always just looking for the financial gain, if they had a little more of a heart in their approach to business, they could be successful and also be positive for society.
Well, here's hoping.
Yeah man. That's all we can do.
Spencer Day's David Arquette-hosted Feeding America benefit concert is tonight at the Upright Cabaret in Los Angeles. Showtime is 9 p.m., with dinner and drink specials beginning at 7 p.m. Tickets are $15, available online or $20 at the door (if available).

i think it's great that someone with some status is fighting to take care of domestic issues. i believe in foreign aid, but not at the expense of our children. if we give it all away, what's going to be left for our future leaders? let's not allow the government make us in to a third world country.

Its so nice to see a holly wood actor, thinking about our own here in America for a change. Its great we help other countries in times of need, but it seems our 'leaders' forget us. Just think if more holly wood rich and famous people would give some of their time and effort on this problem, the difference it could make. Its sad that as far as I can see David, is the only one trying to help here. I have to wonder why that is, its not like its a secret that lots of our children go to bed hungry at night. Oprah gives lots to help too, but unfortunatly she only helps in Africa. We need more people like David to care enough to make a difference. David has my respect, and I hope he continues to help. The rest of holly wood should take notes from David, when their not too busy helping them selves.

To date, there is only one 3D Scanning App for Android. It is Objectify.
"Objectify uses the front-facing camera and the smartphone display to create light reflections to calculate a 3D model from the picture. With this app you can capture 3D models of yourself, friends or family members and share the results afterwards."
To be honest, there is still a long way to go for this to work correctly. Yet, you can help the developer by downloading the app here.
Note: 3D scanners and 3D cameras are different. A 3D scanner creates 3D models and a 3D camera generates 3D pictures.

Speaking from Manuscript - In simple language, speaking from manuscript means reading the speech. This is not the best way to deliver a speech in front of an audience but certainly, there are instances when this mode of delivery is necessary as with statements where no mistakes must be made. One illustrative example would be that of a person in a position of great responsibility such as a head of state delivering a state-of-the-nation address. Another instance would be when strict limits are placed on a speech as for example when delivering on radio or on television..
Speaking from Memory - This means that in preparing a speech, you would write out a manuscript and then practice from it until you know it by heart. This type of speaking has a few of the advantages but carries with it all of the disadvantages of the manuscript mode of delivery. Unless you are an accomplished actor, you will find it difficult to deliver a talk from memory and to maintain a close contact with your audience at the same time. Moreover, if you forget, you are lost. It is said that if you should memorize a speech, it is best you prepare a manuscript and use it instead.
Speaking Impromptu – This type of presentation may be defined as one for which no immediate preparation has been made; a speaking situation where you are called, in most instances, unexpectedly but which requires you to 'think on your feet' and come up with a piece that you deliver on the spur of the moment. Such a skill is not impossible to attain even if it may be difficult. If called upon to speak with no preparation, you only have to remember the principles of speech organization which would be: to introduce the idea, develop it, and finish/conclude it. In this way, even the most hastily prepared talk can be given the quality of order.
Speaking Extemporaneously - This type of delivery would be the most ideal. This is delivering a prepared piece without the benefit of the manuscript. The ideas, organization, supporting material of the piece to be delivered are thoroughly prepared well in advance and the delivery is practiced as well. Thus when you finally deliver the speech, you are so thoroughly familiar with what you intend to say that you can 'ad lib' the language- you will be able to say the ideas in your own words. This mode of delivery allows you to have direct visual and psychological contact with the audience. It can have all the spontaneity and immediacy of casual conversation, it affords you great flexibility.

But for the purpose of this article, let's assume that the husband is more desirous of sex than his wife.
OK, now that we have the scene set, this is a very common circumstance that causes a lot of tension in marriages. You see, when a man marries a woman, he is now legally and morally beholden to his wife for sexual gratification. As I cover in an entire chapter in my newly published book, "The Man's Secret to a Happy and Sexy Marriage in Less Than 10 Minutes a Day", wives have the power in most marriages because they control the man's sexual pleasure. The way our society is structured today, women don't just care for the house and children; they also go to work and are absolutely exhausted at the end of the day. Sex unfortunately does not top the list of things that they absolutely must have before they go to sleep. But that doesn't stop the man from wanting to engage in sexual pleasures when he gets into bed at night with his wife.
The problem is men can't just go up to their wives and say "I need more sex" and expect their wives to reply, "yes dear, would you like to do it right now on the kitchen table?". If only it were that easy! You see, men can have sex on request…they don't need much prodding. But women, they need to feel loved, respected and romanced first. The problem is most men stop romancing their wives like they did when they were dating or newly married. This results in a lot of sexual tension in marriage.
So how can a man tell his wife that he wants more sex? Most commonly, if a man were to ask this of his wife, she would get angry with him for being so self-centered. Could you see yourself asking your wife directly for more sex? How do you think she would react? Dare I say with anger and lectures!
So here is what you may want to consider.
Show Daily (non-sexual) Affection
First, the husband needs to show his wife that he truly loves her on a daily basis. He does this by listening to her intently, treating her special and being a gentleman. His wife needs to feel connected, special and secure in the marriage for her to share love with her husband. It is at this time, and only at this time, that the man can sit down with his wife and have a discussion about his happiness in the marriage.
How do you approach it? You can start by telling your wife how much you love her, adore her, appreciate her and admire her. In other words, you need to make her feel special! Perhaps you have this conversation after you have done a fun activity where you both enjoyed each others' company. Then you can feel confident telling her that you would like to express your love for each other on a more regular basis. Sharing intimacy is so wonderful that it heightens your loving feelings for her. Notice I never used the word sex. Sex is the act. Love is the emotions.
And men, if you are successful in having this discussion to address your happiness, please don't stop doing
the things that got you to this place of open, loving communication.
Also, please be sure that when you make love to your wife that you do it selflessly and lovingly. Let her know how much you love her and are attracted to her. Be sure that she is satisfied and happy from the experience. Don't be self centered. And please don't do a "hit and run"; stay and cuddle for awhile. She will be much more receptive to your advances for sex the future.

STEVE SZKOTAK Associated Press
WILLIAMSBURG, Va. (AP) — A lovingly preserved vestige of Virginia's plantation past is heading to auction this week.
Carter's Grove will be listed at $14.9 million at the auction Wednesday. The plantation is being sold because a dot-com entrepreneur who purchased it lost his fortune and fell deeply into debt.
The property outside of Williamsburg includes an 18,700-square-foot mansion that is listed as a National Historic Landmark, a caretaker's house, stables and 400 grassy acres that slope to more than a mile of frontage on the James River.
The plantation house is considered the finest example of Georgian architecture in Virginia and among the best in the U.S.
It features dazzling brick and wood flourishes by Old World craftsmen that have survived more than 250 years after its construction.

Primary pulmonary hypertension is a disease characterized by increased arterial pressure in the pulmonary circulation caused by changes which appear to be intrinsic to the pulmonary vasculature.

PSU LB Lee doubtful for Saturday game with knee sprain
College Football Videos
Penn State linebacker Sean Lee is doubtful for Saturday's game against Iowa after spraining his left knee this past weekend in the Nittany Lions' 31-6 victory against Temple.
Lee is expected to miss up to two weeks, but could return sooner if his rehab progresses as expected.
Lee left Saturday's game early in the fourth quarter and did not return.
"Sean has a sprained left knee and his availability for practice is day-to-day," Penn State spokesman Jeff Nelson said.
The fifth-year senior sat out all of last season with a torn ACL in his right knee. He returned to form in Week 2 when Penn State defeated Syracuse 28-7. Lee recorded a game-high 13 tackles, with three tackles for minus-17 yards, including a 13-yard sack.
The Upper St. Clair graduate was named the Big Ten Player of the Week today after his 12-tackle performance against Temple. He also recorded 2.5 tackles for loss.

Tough love is a farce, rather engage ANCYL
- Onkgopotse JJ Tabane
- 22 Aug 2011 06:42 (South Africa)
So, the ANC leadership has finally found the courage to discipline Malema. It will be curious to see what is going to happen when the day of reckoning comes about. Ahead of the 2009 elections the secretary general scoffed at anyone who dared suggest Malema should be disciplined. He told all who cared to listen that there is a way in which you need to nurture young people to groom them into leaders.
So the call for discipline was misplaced. Malema at that time said worse things than calling for a neighbouring country's government to be overthrown. He had insulted women in general after the Zuma rape trial, and recently he insulted whites in general after the local government elections.
The tune started to change when Mantashe admitted the ANC's performance in Western Cape was partly the result of Malema's racist and sometimes unsophisticated utterances. The tune truly changed when charges were laid, not because of these utterances, but triggered by remarks on Botswana. Apparently African leaders are beginning to ask themselves who is in charge - Malema or Zuma?
Now that will get action. Remember the last time Malema was charged was when he dared compare Zuma with Mbeki, claiming that there are no comparisons in the brains and legacy departments. That kind of ego-bashing exercise gets you disciplined in politics. There is nothing bigger that a politician's ego – not the people, not the poor, nothing beats the ego when it comes to politicians. Hence the idea of other leaders wondering who is in charge is what made the ANC, whose collective ego is being bruised every day, to stand up and take action. They could tolerate women being called collective sluts or whites being collectively insulted, but you touch an ego over who's in charge and you know what is coming your way. For the sake of the credibility of the whole process one hopes the charge sheet will deal with the matters of Malema's conduct quite comprehensively. This process, as Mantahshe suggested earlier, must tell us how the ANC will support the role that the youth must play to challenge the status quo, to generate much-needed debate and to steer the organisation in a new direction for the sake of future generations.
The process must emerge with no sense that this may be retaliation against the ANCYL insistence on nationalisation. After all, the league has threatened that anyone who does not support nationalisation must start looking for jobs elsewhere. (Hint: Shabangu please start applying – avoid mines). By the way, Shabangu's sin was to say that there will be no nationalisation in her lifetime. There are few of such courage left in the movement. But then again you can't be that reckless when you deal with kingmakers. Unless of course, you don't want deployment in 2014.
The whole disciplinary facade is nothing, but a face-saving effort by the ANC leadership as well as an admission of its failure to lead. When did the ANC leadership have a bilateral with the ANCYL leadership to debate its views on various things in society? If your child misbehaves, do you start by reporting him to the police or do you sit him down and lay down some rules? I suspect you have to do all you can before you go the disciplinary route? But I may be wrong since my children are at an age where engagement won't make sense, but grounding and other such inexpressive forms of punishment are appropriate. So my analogy may be limited by my experience.
But once they can understand you can hold them accountable for the outcomes of their actions, things change. Contrary to popular belief, the ANCYL is full of adults not toddlers. The ANC has allowed it to behave too independently and now it's too late to rein them in with hard muscle or tough love. Mantashe's theory of nurturing was right, but, like most things in politics, there was poor follow-through and no follow-up of any significance.
So what must be done?
The ANC must drop its silly charges against Malema. He has, after all. apologised. It would have been silly to pursue Zuma after he apologised for his misdemeanours on various occasions in the last few years. The guy said sorry. And unlike the other outlandish statements this time he was speaking on mandate by his executive. So why charge him and not the whole NEC?
The ANC must have a bosberaad with its youth wing and set the rules of engagement on the road towards Mangaung. This must be a heart-to-heart and robust session where no egos will be spared. This will lower the confrontation and tempers on matters on the table. It will also depersonalise them and focus on the real issues. At the heart of this whole thing is a fight for the soul of the economic direction of the ANC. That elephant will haunt the movement ahead of and after Mangaung.
The ANC and ANCYL must communicate the outcomes of this bosberaad openly and jointly facing the media together and ensure no mixed messages about what the sessions achieved. This assumes the outcomes are mutual and positive. There is full capacity in the ANC to resolve issues in the same family. The ANC managed to do that with sworn enemies at Codesa and they can do it with their own youth wing with much more ease.
The alliance as a whole must mend its relationship and focus the country on key challenges ahead of the ANC's centenary. Such celebrations may mean nothing for ordinary people if they are marred by the fight for Mangaung. The ANC must relax rules around open debate on issues that will characterise Mangaung - be it on nationalisation or on succession.
In the final analysis a war between the ANC and its Youth League looks bad for the whole ANC. The ANC has the capacity to deal with this matter in a more sophisticated manner that will result in more unity than division. We are all waiting with bated breath. DM

Impact Areas | Activities Funded | Review Criteria
Single Agency Grants | Collaborative Grants | Collaborative Planning Grants
To support long-term solutions that help people move out of poverty and to encourage creative collaboration between agencies in providing these solutions.
Geographic scope: Winnebago County, Waushara County, Green Lake County, or the city of Ripon
Range of grantmaking: Up to $45,000 in a 3-year period for a single organization; up to $300,000 in a 3-year period for collaborative projects involving more than one agency. Multiple years of support will be considered only if there is a compelling reason.
Initial grant application deadline: February 15, 2015
Grant decisions: June
Contact: Amy Putzer, firstname.lastname@example.com or 920-426-3993
The Basic Needs Giving Partnership was established in 2007 to address the root causes of poverty in Northeast Wisconsin. The partnership brings together charitable resources from the U.S. Venture Open Fund for Basic Needs within the Oshkosh Area Community Foundation, the J. J. Keller Foundation and other partner donors.
Proceeds from the U.S. Venture Open help fund the U.S. Venture Fund for Basic Needs. Every year, the Oshkosh Area Community Foundation distributes a portion of this fund as grants and the J. J. Keller Foundation matches the grantmaking budget for additional grantmaking. The Oshkosh Area Community Foundation, one of three Fox Valley community foundations to receive the funds, is responsible for determining how the funds will be distributed.
The Basic Needs Giving Partnership provides assistance to established nonprofit organizations with a proven record of success in maintaining solid, critical programs or innovative new organizations and programs supported by established nonprofits or successful leadership. Funds are not meant to support emergency assistance programs.
Consideration will be given to proposals that address one or more of the following impact areas:
- Help children, youth and young adults become healthy and ready to succeed in school and become self-sufficient.
- Strengthen individuals and families to help them learn to meet basic needs and build their financial self-sufficiency.
- Empower and support individuals affected by aging and dementia with low or fixed incomes through services that meet their basic needs and allow them to age with dignity.
- Help uninsured and underinsured residents sustain a higher quality of life by preventing and reducing acute and long-term care crises through innovative and culturally appropriate models promoting the control and prevention of disease and chronic illness, such as diabetes and mental health.
In order to achieve the fund's desired outcomes, grantmaking will focus on supporting:
- Organizations that demonstrate the potential to expand or deepen their impact or those that are already achieving measurable impact.
- Efforts that involve goal-oriented, flexible partnerships among the nonprofit, public and private sectors.
- Initiatives that take a long-term view of what is required for people to move out of poverty.
Planning - To support teams of nonprofits exploring the launch of a collaborative project.
Project Support - To help initiate, enhance or expand specific innovative projects or programs with clear goals and measurable outcomes consistent with the Giving Partnership's impact areas.
Capacity Building - To either enhance an agency's ability to meet its mission and goals, or position an organization to increase its scale and ability to meet community needs.
Policy Analysis and Advocacy - To support nonpartisan studies, public awareness campaigns and community collaborations among nonprofit, public and civic groups around critical community issues.
All grant proposals will be reviewed and evaluated by a team of community volunteers. Selected applicants may be asked to interview with grants team members and provide additional information. The strongest proposals will be those that meet all or most of the following criteria. Preference will be given to collaborative proposals.
Direct relevance to at least one of the Basic Needs Giving Partnership impact areas
Strength of proposal design
- Proposal focuses on moving people out of poverty or assists those with limited means to maintain a stable dignified quality of life
- Proposal is focused and well-defined, and workplan is realistic
- Proposal identifies clear outcomes and measures of success
- Budget is clear, realistic, and includes other sources of revenue
- Appropriate stakeholders are involved
- Collaborative efforts include sharing of resources and risk to enhance the capacity of all partners
- Responsibilities of collaborative partners are clearly defined (if applicable)
Potential impact on the community
- Proposal includes documented evidence of community need being addressed
- Evidence is provided that proposed activities are based on demonstrated "best practices"
- Intended outcomes for the target population are likely to be achieved
- Activities are likely to be sustained after grant (if appropriate)
- Applicant(s) is knowledgeable of other local services that address the identified community need and can articulate how they will work with these services
Capacity of applicant organization(s)
- Proposal fits within the strategic plan/directions of the organization(s)
- Organization(s) and staff have the capacity to implement the proposal
- Organization(s) has the skills to establish and implement a system for evaluating proposed activities
- Applicant(s) is in stable financial condition
SINGLE AGENCY GRANTS - Up to $45,000 in a 3-year period
An Initial Grant Application is the first step for a single nonprofit organization to be considered by the Community Foundation for funding from the Basic Needs Giving Partnership. The Initial Application helps determine whether a request qualifies for consideration before applicants complete full applications.
COLLABORATIVE GRANTS - Up to $300,000 in a 3-year period
Collaborative grants support thoughtful projects and programs that are undertaken by a collaborative partnership of multiple nonprofit organizations because the scope or complexity of the project will benefit from each organization's particular expertise or provided services, and/or will enable more effective and efficient delivery of the program or services than individual organizations working alone or separately. It includes:
- Jointly developing and agreeing upon a set of common goals and direction.
- Sharing the risks and responsibility for obtaining those goals.
- Working together to achieve those goals, using the expertise and resources of each collaborator.
- A jointly developed structure.
An Initial Grant Application is the first step for collaborative projects or planning activities to be considered by the Oshkosh Area Community Foundation for funding from the Basic Needs Giving Partnership. The Initial Application helps determine whether a request qualifies for consideration before applicants complete full applications.
If your collaboration includes work in the service areas of the Greater Green Bay Community Foundation or the Community Foundation for the Fox Valley Region, use the Regional Grant Application Form.
Groups of local non-profits who are exploring and planning for the launch of a collaborative project may be eligible for a planning grant. Grants will not fund planning that is part of an organization's ongoing activities. Appropriate planning items include but are not limited to: hiring staff; planning time; site visits to review models and best practices; and consultants, facilitators or other outside professional assistance. Planning grant recipients are not guaranteed to receive additional funding for project or program implementation.
The Community Foundation estimates that proposals for planning grants will request between $10,000 and $25,000, but any reasonable level of request will be considered. We expect that planning will last approximately 6 to 18 months. To apply for a planning grant, you will need to have the following information available:
- Identification of the lead organization and collaborators and their roles;
- A description of the gap or community/regional need;
- A sense of the vision and description of any previous planning;
- Why a planning grant is needed to move the project forward;
- An estimated timeline of activities;
- A budget for how planning grant funds would be utilized;

Someone recently sent me a video about why it is very important to make sure you wash strawberries well. First thought, on seeing the creepy crawlers who spend their lives snuggled into the bumpy terrain of the fruit, particularly at the top and the bottom: Not another strawberry will ever touch my lips.

ASTR 10, Vista College, Spring 2004
Instructor: Dr. Korpela
Homework assignments are due at the
of each class. Since I don't want any of us to fall too far behind, late homeworks will not be accepted. You may, however, e-mail me your homeworks (ask about acceptable formats), or contact me to arrange to fax it in.
I will not accept any homeworks once I have handed out the solutions, or posted them on the website
The homework assignments total 20% of your final grade.
Please be as neat as possible in your write-ups. It is difficult to grade something that cannot be read, and I will not waste my time trying to decipher illegible material. Please clearly write your name on every page you turn in, and please staple multiple pages together.
I encourage you to discuss homework assignments with one another. Do not, however, copy from one another.
Turn in your own homework, written up in your own way.
I will be on the lookout for "carbon-copy" homeworks. If you work together in a group, please put the names of the other people in your group at the beginning of your homework.
You MUST explain your answers!
Credit will not be given unless I am convinced you understand the material. This means that on the problems which are mostly mathematical or involve diagrams you will not get full credit just by writing down equations and numbers. You must explain, in words, what it is you are doing with the math. This not only lets me know that you understand, but it will help you not get lost.
Despite this,
brevity is desirable
. No answer should be longer than a single short paragraph, unless more is specified in the question.
Quizzes and Classroom Exercises
Most weeks, I will grade either a quiz (at the beginning of lecture) or the results of a classroom exercise. Here again, neatness is a necessity, and the work must be your own. There will not be any provision for missed quizzes and classroom exercises. Each one will only contribute approximately 1% to your final grade, however, for a total of 15%.
Labs and Other Small Projects
These assignments must (as for the homeworks), be your own work. Late papers will be accepted for one week for 50% (half) credit. Detailed expectations and grading scheme will be included with each assignment, but their total will be 20% of the final grade.
The exams will be held in class on February 27, April 10, and May 22. Speak to me well in advance if you have an unavoidable conflict. Otherwise, only a serious medical emergency will convince me to allow a make-up exam.
I take grading seriously, and will be careful. If, however, you believe that there has been an error in the grading of your work, I ask that you follow the following guidelines.
Be sure to read the solutions thoroughly before coming to me with your claim.
Tally up the total amount of points you believe you have been wrongly denied. Calculate what percentage of your final grade this amounts to. If it is less than 0.5% of your total grade the please don't waste yours and my time.
If you still wish to pursue the issue, resubmit your work to me with a clear description of the error that you believe has been made.
I will completely re-grade the assignment.
This can lead to a lower grade.
Academic Conduct
Learning occurs not only in class, but also in discussions with others in the class. Studying together and working together on assignments are encouraged. But you MUST turn in your own write-up of the work in your own words. I will be on the lookout for 'carbon-copy' homeworks. This is dishonest. Cheating of any kind will not be tolerated.

Dear Ones,
I know you sent us the enclosed form to tell you about our stay at your facility but it didn't seem there was enough room to enumerate all of the things you did so well.
From the moment my fiancé called you, you behaved in both professional and friendly manner. The fact that it went off seamlessly is a gift I treasure. I bought my dress and shoes on the 6th of December. In that short span, we booked cars, flights, flowers, and thankfully found you in our search.
From the time that we arrived until we left, we were treated so very well. The staff was amazing. The weather was iffy that day as we drove off to Captiva Island it began to rain. I thought where would they serve us with all this wind and rain? When we returned for our reception everything had been handled. They had moved everything inside and gave us a beautiful space that was warm and intimate. We ate to our heart's content all of the lovely hor d'oeuvres. They were a tasty meal in themselves. We listened to some wonderful live piano music and were serenaded by the lovely pianist. We later moved into a dining room that was set beautifully and gave us and our guests a night to remember. More wonderful food. More excellent service. Time to enjoy ourselves and our guests.
We thank you all from the bottom of our hearts and hope to spend our first anniversary with you.
Yours Truly,
Monty and Janet Sewell
