UNHCR calls upon states to recognise the needs of people persecuted on grounds of sexual orientation or gender identity
UNHCR is revising its policies to protect people fleeing persecution due to their sexual orientation or gender identity. This includes lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual and intersex asylum seekers and refugees. We call upon states to support this commitment through improved understanding and recognition of the particular vulnerabilities of these groups.
On October 1st UNHCR held an international roundtable on asylum seekers and refugees seeking protection on account of their sexual orientation and gender identity. A survey conducted ahead of the roundtable found that at every stage of the displacement cycle these vulnerable groups face danger, difficulty and discrimination. UNHCR believes these risks are significant and should not be ignored.
The survey found that people from these groups are more prone to sexual and gender related violence during detention, both in their home countries and countries of asylum. It also found that they face a heightened risk of discrimination in urban settings and refugee camps. Long-term prospects tend to be limited, with integration into the country of asylum and return to the home country often not being a possibility. UNHCR advocates for resettlement of individuals who face a heightened risk as a result of belonging to this social group. Our guidelines and policies will be revised to ensure that the particular vulnerability of these groups is recognised.
The 1951 Refugee Convention spells out that a refugee is someone who owing to a well-founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion, is outside the country of his nationality, and is unable to, or owing to such fear, is unwilling to avail himself of the protection of that country. In 2008 we issued a guidance note recognising that individuals being persecuted due to sexual orientation and gender identity should be considered within the 'fleeing due to membership of a particular social group†Convention ground.
A decision by the UK Supreme Court in July this year in the case of HJ (Iran) and HT (Cameroon) took into account this guidance note in recognising the rights of LGBT people in need of protection. Following submissions to the Supreme Court by UNHCR and the Equality and Human Rights Commission, the test that a person could be reasonably expected to tolerate using 'discretion' to conceal their sexuality if returned to their home country was found contrary to the 1951 Convention. Future cases will be considered in light of guidance from the Supreme Court. Home Secretary Theresa May welcomed the decision, saying 'I do not believe it is acceptable to send people home and expect them to hide their sexuality to avoid persecution.'

As Laketa Cole prepares to leave Cincinnati City Council for a state government job, sources say she's settled on Wendell Young as her replacement.
Multiple sources at City Hall and within the Democratic Party are talking about Young's apparent selection and expressing surprise because he has ran unsuccessfully in three City Council elections and finished in 14th place in 2009's balloting for the nine council seats, behind fellow Democrats Greg Harris (10th) and Bernadette Watson (11th).
Just two days before the general election, President Barack Obama made his case to 13,500 people packed into the University of Cincinnati's Fifth Third Arena and 2,000 in an overflow room.
Obama cast the race in comparisons to the previous two presidents, comparing his policies with those of Bill Clinton and equating Republican challenger Mitt Romney's plans with those of George W. Bush.
"So stay with me then," Obama said. "We've got ideas that work, and we've got ideas that don't work, so the choice should be pretty clear."
With less than 48 hours before polls open on Election Day, a Reuters/Ipsos daily tracking poll had Obama and his Republican challenger locked in a statistical dead heat. However the same poll showed Obama with a slight edge in Ohio, up 48 percent to Romney's 44 percent.
Obama touted his first-term accomplishments, including ending the war in Iraq; ending Don't Ask Don't Tell, the policy preventing homosexuals from serving openly in the military; and overhauling the country's health care system.
"It's not just about policy, it's about trust. Who do you trust?" the president asked, flanked by a sea of supporters waving blue "Forward" signs.
"Look, Ohio, you know me by now. You may not agree with every decision I've made, Michelle doesn't always agree with me. You may be frustrated with the pace of change … but I say what I mean and I mean what I say."
Nonpartisan political fact-checker PolitiFact on Nov. 3 took a look at Obama's record on keeping his campaign promises from 2008. The group rated 38 percent as Kept, 16 percent Compromised and 17 percent Broken.
Twice during his speech the president was interrupted by audience members shouting from the stands.
The first was a man on the balcony level of the arena interrupted, shouting anti-abortion slogans and waving a sign showing mutilated fetuses before being dragged out by about five law enforcement officers. Both were drowned out by supporters.
Music legend Stevie Wonder opened the rally for Obama, playing a number of his hits, opening up "Superstition" with a refrain of "on the right track, can't go back."
Wonder discussed abortion policy between songs and urged Ohioans who had not already voted to do so either early on Monday or Election Day.
So far, 28 percent of Ohio voters have already cast their ballots. CNN reports that those votes favor Obama 63/35, according to public polling.
Meanwhile on Sunday, Romney campaigned before an estimated crowd of 25,000 in Pennsylvania, according to the Secret Service.
Political rallies always draw a number of the loyal opposition, and this late-evening appearance was no different. Only five people protested near the line to the arena, but what they lacked in number they attempted to make up for in message.
One large sign read "Obama: 666" and another "Obama is the Beast," alluding to a character in the Christian Biblical book of Revelation.
A man who only identified himself as Brooks carried a large anti-abortion sign that showed pieces of a dismembered fetus.
"I'm here to stand up for the innocent blood that has been shed in this land to the tune of 56 million," Brooks said. He said he was opposed to the politics of both major party presidential candidates.
"I pray for Barack Obama because his beliefs are of the Antichrist, just like Romney," Brooks said.
Brooks said his message for those in line was for them to vote for Jesus — not on the ballot, but through their actions and through candidates that espoused Christian beliefs.
"Obama is not going to change things, Romney is not going to change things," Brooks said. "In the last days there are many Christs, but not the Christ of the Bible. The Christ of the Bible is not for killing children, is not for homosexual marriage."
Sharp-eyed readers who received an email update this week from Cincinnati City Councilman P.G. Sittenfeld got a surprise: At the bottom, it stated the missive came from the "Office of Congressman P.G. Sittenfeld."
That prompted some observers to wonder if the error was a Freudian slip and whether Sittenfeld, who was just sworn into his first council term three weeks ago, had already set his sights on higher office.
A Democrat who was challenging Hamilton County Commissioner Greg Hartmann in this fall's election has left the race due to work commitments.
Greg Harris, a West Sider who is a former Cincinnati city councilman, said Monday night that a contract awarded to his educational consulting firm means he will be spending a large amount of time outside of the region. Harris' firm, New Governance Group, recently was awarded a major contract with a nonprofit group in Delaware that seeks to improve public education in that state.
"When I filed (to run for commissioner), I filed in all sincerity," Harris said. "It was before I got this contract."
He added, "I feel bad. This was a race I really wanted to run in, but with all the traveling, I'm not equipped to give it the time it deserves."
Harris, 40, announced his candidacy in early December, when he filed paperwork to run against Hartmann, a Republican incumbent who is seeking his second term.
The Hamilton County Democratic Party now will be able to select a replacement for Harris on the Nov. 6 ballot.
Harris was appointed in January 2009 to Cincinnati City Council to fill the unexpired term of John Cranley, who was facing term limits. But Harris lost in an election that November, finishing 10th in balloting for the nine-member group, missing the final spot by about 3,400 votes. During his brief term, Harris angered the city's police and firefighter unions by suggesting changes that he said would improve efficiency and reduce costs.
Through his consulting firm, Harris had served as public policy advisor for Cincinnati-based KnowledgeWorks Foundation, a national education philanthropy that seeds educational practices and policy reforms.
An Illinois native, Harris moved to the region in 1993 to attend graduate school at Miami University in Oxford. He stayed here after graduation and served from 2000-05 as executive director of Citizens for Civic Renewal, a nonprofit public advocacy group that promotes good government, volunteerism and civic involvement.
Harris ran unsuccessfully as the Democratic challenger to U.S. Rep. Steve Chabot (R-Westwood) twice, in 2002 and 2004. He also was prepared to challenge Hartmann for the Hamilton County Commission seat in 2008 until Democratic Party leaders cut a deal with the GOP and asked Harris to step aside and let Hartmann run unopposed. A reluctant Harris complied.
The Tea Party might be good at organizing rallies outside the Capitol building in Washington and staging rallies at Fountain Square, but just how pervasive is the group's views among the American people?
Not very, according to a new poll.
A judicial conduct panel ruled this week that the primary election opponent of a local Municipal Court judge knowingly misrepresented himself in campaign materials.
The panel decided that retired appellate court judge William O'Neill from Cleveland left the impression that he is a current judge in a two-sided campaign card he distributed. In fact, O'Neill now works as an emergency room nurse at a hospital.
O'Neill and Hamilton County Municipal Court Judge Fanon Rucker are vying to be the Democratic Party's nominee for the Ohio Supreme Court.
Whoever wins the March 6 primary election will face off against incumbent Justice Robert Cupp, a Republican, in the November general election.
The three-judge panel upheld the complaint filed by Richard Dove, secretary of the Ohio Supreme Court's Board of Commissioners on Grievances and Discipline. The panel said O'Neill's campaign card refers to him nine times as "judge,'' while describing him as "former court of appeals judge'' once.
"The fact that he is known as judge because of his tenure on the 11th District Court of Appeals and that as a retired judge he is known as a judge, he nevertheless as a judicial candidate is prohibited from using the term 'judge' before his name in campaign materials since he does not currently hold that office,'' wrote Guernsey County Common Pleas Judge David Ellwood, who chaired the three-judge panel.
The panel recommended no discipline for O'Neill other than he stop distributing the card. A 5th District Court of Appeals judge must appoint a panel of five fellow appellate judges within the next week to consider the lower panel's recommendations and make a final decision.
Rucker is the Ohio Democratic Party's endorsed candidate, but O'Neil has twice before — in different races — had party leaders rescind an endorsement and give it to him.
O'Neill has run twice for the state Supreme Court — in 2004 and 2006 — and then Congress in 2008 and 2010. Although he has won in the primaries, O'Neill has lost in the general elections.
Local Democratic Party leaders are criticizing O'Neill, stating he is moving too slowly to remove misleading material from his campaign website.
"While Mr. O'Neill promised Monday to make the required corrections, as of this writing on Wednesday, Feb. 29, his website remains unchanged," Hamilton County Democratic Party Chairman Tim Burke wrote in a statement issued Wednesday night.
"This is not the kind of conduct we as Democrats should condone by any of our candidates, especially candidates running for a seat on the highest court of our state," Burke added. "Ohioans deserve a Supreme Court candidate who not only understands the law, but respects it as well."

The Ohio Democratic Party has filed a lawsuit against Gov. John Kasich — who they claim is improperly using his office to campaign for presumptive GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney — to get the governor to release his schedule of public events.
The ODP's lawsuit, filed Tuesday in the Franklin County Court of Common Pleas, contends that Kasich's office either ignored or only partially fulfilled the request.
"It's unfortunate that this Governor is so opposed to transparency and public disclosure that we have to ask the Court to force him to follow the law," ODP Chairman Chris Redfern said in a statement.
"Serious questions remain regarding whether the Governor has improperly used his office for the benefit of Mitt Romney, and it's deeply disappointing Kasich is so secretive he won't even tell the public what he's done or where he's gone."
Kasich press secretary Rob Nichols said the administration doesn't comment on litigation, but dismissed the Ohio Democratic Party's allegations.
"We release public records in accordance with the law, and in fact have already publicly released the governor's schedule six times, including a schedule request to the ODP," Nichols said.
"This is predictable election year politics from the same people who were just rebuked for using public records demands to interfere with the Auditor of State's investigation into possible data manipulation in some school districts."
Ohio Democratic Party spokesman Jerid Kurtz said Kasich's office did respond to one of the seven requests for the schedule, but some of the information in the records was redacted — including an entire week that was blacked out with no explanation.
"Ohio law is very clear, and it states you have to give a specific excuse when you redact something," Kurtz said.
According to the lawsuit and court documents, the ODP requested on July 2 Kasich's public schedule from that date through Aug. 27.
According to a letter to the Ohio Democratic Party from Mehek M. Cook — assistant chief counsel to Kasich — the information about the governor's future plans was blacked out because that information could put him at risk.
"The governor and his office receive threats on any given day and the release of his whereabouts increases security issues surrounding the governor's safety," Cook wrote.
Cook wrote that any information in the records used by the Executive Protection Unit assigned to guard Kasich constitutes a security record and was redacted.
He also wrote that some information that would reveal confidential business meetings and trade secrets that would harm Ohio efforts to court businesses was blacked out. Additionally, information not relevant to the request was redacted.
Kurtz said it's important that the public have access those schedules because voters have a right to know what their governor is doing on the public dime.
The schedules include where the governor is and with whom he meets, but they also show scheduled phone calls and media interviews.
The Ohio Democratic Party worries that Kasich is improperly campaigning for Romney while receiving a taxpayer-funded paycheck, or using public money to have his staff do so.
The concerns stem from statements made by Kasich both in public and on his Twitter account either praising the presumed Republican presidential nominee or slamming President Obama.
For instance, The Plain Dealer in Cleveland reported that when Obama visited Ohio on Aug. 1 the governor tweeted "On the occasion of the President's latest visit to Ohio, we have a question for him," with a link to a graphic asking "If the President's policies are behind Ohio's success, why is the rest of the country trailing us?"
Democrats claim that Ohio's success relative to the rest of the country are due to efforts by President Obama, while Republicans say Governor Kasich is behind Ohio's faster-than-average recovery.
While the Ohio Democratic Party is suing to have Kasich release his public schedule (Kurtz says Attorney General Mike DeWine and Auditor Dave Yost complied with similar requests in a timely manner) the state Republican Party has also submitted similar requests to Democrats throughout Ohio.
Kurtz characterized the GOP requests as being sent by Kasich's "hand-picked lieutenants in the Ohio Republican Party," though Nichols told The Plain Dealer that the governor had no involvement.
Ohio GOP executive director Matt Borges told the newspaper that the requests were routine.
Still, Kurtz called Kasich's refusal to release his own schedule "hypocritical."
"He's a bully and the only way you can deal with a bully is fighting back."
UPDATE: Secretary of State Jon Husted said he will make a decision about what to do with the court's ruling after the weekend. It is possible Husted could decide to keep all polling booths closed on the three days. While the court ruling makes it so boards of election can't allow only military voters to vote on the weekend and Monday before Election Day, it does give boards of election the choice to close down on the three days. Husted could decide to open or close all boards of election on the days with uniform policy like he's done in the past. Such policy could eliminate those three voting days for everyone, including military voters.
The Republican-controlled state government appealed the original ruling after a federal judge ruled in favor of President Barack Obama's campaign and the Democrats and expanded in-person early voting to include the three extra days. The appeals court's ruling upholds the previous decision.
In the past few months, Republicans have insisted early voting should not be expanded further due to racial politics and cost concerns. That prompted Obama and the Democrats to take the state government to court, much to the dismay of local Republicans that voiced concerns about the lawsuit making voting lines too long for military voters.
With this appeal, Republicans are now running out of options for blocking expanded in-person early voting. Previously, Husted sent directives to county boards of election to not listen to the initial ruling, but Husted quickly backed down when the federal judge involved in the ruling called him to court.

The Delaware Fresh mobile app now features more than 30 farms that sell First State's holiday spruces and pines and includes updated hours and shopping information.
The Delaware Fresh app is available free for download on both Android and iPhone at delaware.gov/apps
Here is a list of tips on how to pick the right tree:
- The shape and size of a tree will depend on where you plan to place it and the height of the ceiling in your home. Some people want a more slender tree like a fir, while others like a larger, fuller tree like a spruce, and still others prefer a fuller, bushier tree like a pine.
- Although most people prefer a well-rounded and shapely tree, you may find it more practical and economical to buy one that is somewhat flat or sparsely branched in one side, so that it fits into a corner or against a wall.
- While "choose-and-cut" purchasers gain in popularity, families that buy their trees from retail lots can also check for freshness. They can test cut trees by bending needles to check resilience (if it springs back into position, the tree is fresh); bumping the base of the tree on the ground (if the needles don't fall, the tree is fresh); and feeling the bottom of the trunk (if sappy and moist, the tree is fresh).

While more than 500 road slips and slides continue to plague the Northern Panhandle, the West Virginia Department of Transportation has applied for discretionary state funds to make repairs to a road slip affecting a small section W.Va. 88 near Sherrard.
Brent Walker, DOT spokesman, said officials continue to keep an eye on that particular slip while prioritizing the hundreds of other road repairs affecting the region. He said while the slip on W.Va. 88 has moved considerably in recent months and has narrowed the road to one lane with stop signs positioned at both ends of the slip, officials have seen some kind of movement at that location as far back as 2011. He said it may be more than a month before that particular slip is repaired, unless it would worsen.
"If something would become unsafe, then we would need to act sooner," Walker said. "If that discretionary funding is approved then it will just be a matter of scheduling."

Heavy traffic continues to travel past a road slip on a section of W.Va. 88 near Sherrard while officials with West Virginia Department of Transportation continue to eye the situation.
Walker said while the DOT has applied for discretionary state funds to fix the slip, a lot of their efforts continue to focus on the many potholes plaguing roads.
He said they have to continually reassess each situation and decide whether emergency vehicles and school buses can get through the affected areas safely.
Walker said with more than 500 repairs needed in the Northern Panhandle alone, it gives residents some kind of perspective on what the Department of Transportation is dealing with.
While Walker admits the additional heavy traffic - including two Williams Energy superloads - traveling through the region because of the recent surge in the oil and gas industry can add to the continued decay of roads, it is not the sole factor. He said the freeze and thaw process during an extremely harsh 2013-14 winter season has been another big contributor to road problems.
"We've got ice jacking that occurs in the bedrock ... and it is certainly a contributing factor," Walker said. "So we are definitely juggling our maintenance forces and trying to attack the damage left by this winter on several levels: slips, slides and potholes."
Walker is hopeful repairs will be made to the W.Va. 88 slip before a third superload is scheduled to travel along that section of road this spring.
"From what I've seen from the two previous superloads, they would have a hard time negotiating that area with the road in its current state," Walker said. "With that superload coming in, there's a good chance that we would work toward that knowing how important that is to industry and to those kind of things."
Walker said people need to realize when the DOT moves workers from one project, it is taking away from another project.
"So that's what we are faced with ... those are always challenges we have from a maintenance standpoint, but throw in a winter like the one we just had and we certainly have our work cut out for us," he said.

Visit I Strapon My Man
Heads Up!
This review is outdated. Information may be inaccurate.
This review is outdated. Information may be inaccurate.
Every strapon site I've come across so far involves gals screwing other gals or Mistresses taking out their frustrations on a sub's tight holes. I Strapon My Man is different. You'll see men bend over for a strapon fucking because they want to. They're not bound and subjected to an ass fucking because their Mistress deems it so, they just want their lady to suck them and fuck them. It's that simple.
I'll tell you right now that, apart from the many one-on-one scenes on IStraponMyMan, you're going to see threesomes with two strapon-sporting chicks and one dude and there is at least one bisexual threesome that involves one chick and two guys and everyone gets some love from all participants. By this, I mean the girl screws both guys, but the fellows kiss on the side and suck each other's stiffies. Both the chick and one of the guys end up with a creamy moustache.
So, as I mentioned, there is no dominant element to these strapon scenes. Actually the scenes play out like any other hardcore scenario except the gal gets to do some humping as well. Apart from the actual sex, you'll get the standard blowjobs (on both the man's cock and the woman's strapon), pussy eating, titty fucking and money shots in the 60 episodes.
You can save the videos in a few MP4 formats and also as Windows Media files. The best of these formats allow you to enjoy good-quality playback. Each flick has a matching photo set and you'll get crisp images that you can save in Zip files. You'll get stellar close-up shots of anal and pussy penetration. Many galleries also include solo shots of the babe getting naked.
Susi Black sizzles as she masturbates at the opening of her scene. She gets herself warmed up with a toy and then puts on her big strapon. Richy enters to get that rubber rod all nice and wet with his mouth. All the while Susi is still working on her pussy, so Rich spreads her lips to help her out while he continues to lick that long, dark schlong. She rims his tight bum hole before plunging its depths. I especially liked it that while being banged doggy style, Richy reaches between his legs to rub her clit. This is some hot shit!
Whew! I need to come down a little after writing that one out! I'll get to some more facts for you, it might calm the jittery feeling in my pants. The website isn't updating these days, so it's a good thing that there are a lot of extras. You can check out a ton of additional vids and pics and also explore a wide array of bonus sites. You basically get to have fun with everything that the Mega Site Pass has to offer.
The strapon sex is smoking hot and anyone into some raunchy role reversal (but who also appreciates traditional foreplay and fucking) will like the XXX action on I Strapon My Man. The site may have stopped growing, but it still offers enough to make joining it worthwhile.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.

I was wondering if to much oil on chain would cause a failure like I had yesterday that resulted in me breaking my scapula and needing surgery to fix it (out for 4 months!). I installed the KMC SL 1/8 chain the day before and forgot to wipe off the excess oil. When I took it for a ride yesterday, I noticed when I accelerated the chain felt like it was skipping/draggin.
I went to pass a roadie and stood up in my drops, heard a pop and ate pavement; no helmet and luckily it was my shoulder that was smashed (helmet wearer from now on). Bike flew into the woods, and upon inspection just 2 scratches no dents etc, and the chain was still on the cogs; nothing looks like it would cause such a critical failure. Today I'm looking at the chain and when I touched it the cogs and chain are soaked in oil. Now would this over oiling cause this to happen? Thanks in advance, and here are some pics of the break.

Beyond the base
2012 Conventions | In a dead even presidential race, Mitt Romney is trying to draw minority and women voters away from President Obama
"Beyond the base" Continued...
TAMPA, Fla. - At this point in the presidential campaign, political analysts believe most voters are decided. Polls may show a 25 percent bloc of undecided voters, but in reality, analysts think that number is more like 5 percent. Undecideds who identify themselves as conservative tend to vote for the Republican candidate, and liberal undecideds tend to vote for the Democratic candidate.
So for the next two months, President Barack Obama and former Gov. Mitt Romney will be fighting for that truly undecided 5 percent, scouring the edges of every demographic for the winning margin. Republicans are now seeking out voters from two groups: women and minorities, especially Hispanics. In polls, Romney has 0 percent of the African-American vote and 30 percent of the Hispanic vote, compared to former President George W. Bush's showing of 11 percent and 44 percent, respectively. Romney is beating Obama among married women voters, but not with single women. The Republican National Convention in Tampa was an obvious pitch to those women and minority voters, from Florida Gov. Jeb Bush delivering greetings in Spanish to Ann Romney holding the primetime slot on the convention's first night.
On the last day of the convention, Roberta Sidwell, 63, was chasing her toddler grandson down the hall in the Tampa Bay Times Forum. Of any of the speakers at the convention, she found Ann Romney the most compelling. "It hit home as a mom," she said. But Sidwell represents the female demographic Mitt Romney is already winning - married women. A single woman, Kathy Rust, who worked in the Bush administration and was at the convention, said Ann Romney's story about raising her five sons "resonates well. … I'm grateful that she had that blessing. But I would hope there's more messaging for the rest of us." The Republican party put at least a dozen women in prominent speaking roles at the convention, including the single former secretary of state, Condoleezza Rice.
The speaker lineup was also peppered with ethnic minorities - though the delegates were a sea of white faces. Applause followed African-American Rep. Artur Davis, the former Democrat turned Republican this year, wherever he went at the convention. Puerto Rico Gov. Luis Fortuno, a close friend of Romney, spoke. Mia Love, who will be the first African-American Republican woman in Congress if she wins her race in Utah this year, was a favorite too. Govs. Brian Sandoval (Hispanic), Susan Martinez (Hispanic), and Nikki Haley (Indian) all spoke. (Right now the Democrats have only one governor who is an ethnic minority, Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick, while the Republicans have four: Govs. Bobby Jindal, Sandoval, Martinez, and Haley.)
There were Rice (African-American); Senate candidate Ted Cruz (Hispanic); and Jane Edmonds (African-American and Romney's secretary of workforce development). Then there was the current heartthrob of the GOP: Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, the son of Cuban immigrants. Alberto Cardenas, the Cuban-American head of the American Conservative Union, appeared pleased with the scene. "The abundance of riches," he told me. The Katinas (an American Samoan band) grooved out on Wednesday. Bebe Winans and a gospel choir made the white audience sway on Thursday.
Samuel Rodriguez, the evangelical head of the National Christian Hispanic Leadership Conference, delivered the benediction on the first night of the convention.
"I've been following the Republicans and Democrats for a long time. Yesterday's lineup was one of the most saturated groups we've seen at a convention," Rodriguez said the next day. But from Rodriguez's perspective, Republicans have to make policy changes to draw in minority voters. "I am concerned, very concerned, with the contribution of individuals who have similarly contributed to the Arizona- and Alabama-type laws," he said, referring to Kris Kobach, who helped write many of the strict state immigration laws and also contributed to the party's platform on immigration. "I would advise the Republican party to distance itself," he said.
One racist incident at the convention marred the party's public campaign for minority voters when two white alternate delegates attending the convention threw peanuts at an African-American Patricia Carroll, a camerawoman working for CNN, and told her, "This is what we feed animals." Security officers removed them, and the Romney campaign condemned the attendees' actions.
But alongside such an incident were powerful tributes to the civil-rights achievements within the Republican party. "A little girl grows up in Jim Crow Birmingham," said Rice, in a primetime speech to a rapt convention audience. "Her parents can't take her to a movie theater or a restaurant-but they make her believe that even though she can't have a hamburger at the Woolworths lunch counter, she can be president of the United States if she wanted to be. And she becomes the secretary of state."
Rice also said school vouchers or tuition tax credits for low-income, minority families is "the civil-rights issue of our time," to a thunderous standing ovation. Romney, in his speech accepting the nomination, also called for school choice for low-income parents, an issue that has slept undisturbed in the national Republican party for some time.
Rodriguez's advice to the party is to keep putting its minority leaders out front: "It was strategically, from a marketing standpoint, brilliant. I don't think it's going to increase the numbers overnight, but it's a great first step." Cardenas also cautioned that the reach for diversity is a "process" - the Republican Party might not see the fruits by this November.

I am trying to move my development environment (symfony2 application) from my windows 7 localhost to a virtual machine using vagrant and the default ubuntu 10.04 64 bit machine. Everything is set up and it almost works, but there is one thing bothering me:
When I run ant and it executes phpunit, I get the following error while executing my selfmade bootstrap:
stty: standard input: Invalid argument
I could narrow the problem down to the following line of code, which executes the symfony cache:warmup command:
executeCommand($application, "cache:warmup");
This executes the following command:
php app/console -e test -q cache:warmup
Running phpunit without ant works fine, so does running ant without the executeCommand line.
I read a bit about this stty error and looked up
/etc/profile as well as
/root/.bashrc and
/root/.profile without finding anything like tty or stty. SO I don't know what I could delete to make it work.
I am a bit stuck as I need the cache warmup and cannot figure out what is going wrong.

Salaries and Wages
In determining how to include personnel costs in your budget, consider the following questions:
Once you have determined what new positions, if any, your proposal will need to include, consider the following in determining this portion of the budget
No extra compensation, beyond 100% of salary, may be paid from a sponsored program unless specifically identified and requested as such by the sponsor and approved by the UNC Division of Finance. Typically, as a portion of time and effort is supported by grant funds, the salary distribution changes accordingly so total compensation for the appointment never exceeds 100%.
Use salary figures with an appropriate inflationary factor as of July 1 of each year thereafter. An inflationary factor of 5% per project year is suggested.
Salaries and wages are generally expressed as a percentage of a full time equivalent position (e.g. a half time position would be expressed as 50%).
To convert 12 month salaried employees to an hourly rate, divide the 12-month salary by 2,080 hours.
EPA professional staff members are paid monthly and SPA administrative staff members are paid biweekly. Both types of positions are eligible for employer/employee provided contributions to retirement and health insurance. Information on including the costs of these benefits in your proposal in included in the "Fringe Benefits" portion of this site.
Certain sponsors place caps or ceilings on PI salary or compensation. Consult the sponsor guidelines to determine if a cap applies to your proposal.

Thinking Out Loud: Questions for the ages
By Danny Hirt —
There are some questions I have wondered about and I'd like to ask them at this time.
Some of the queries might seem silly; others might have a little more meat on them. But, to me, they're all important.
Is it asking too much of the driving public to put their vehicle headlights on when traveling early in the morning or around dusk?
It's not uncommon for me to drive to work early enough in the morning (especially if there are any clouds in the sky) so that there can be a gloomy look to the day.
It's gray, see, and I hope I don't run into any of my fellow travelers. And seeing headlights on the approaching automobiles would sure go a long way in preventing any fender-benders (or worse).
I trust that keeping their headlights off at those times of the day isn't a demonstration of some kind of misdirected machismo; a way to prove one's manhood (or, womanhood) on the roadways.
Headlights (not just parking lights, although that would be better than nothing) come with every car; there's no additional charge for them.
All I'm asking is please use your headlights when the skies are darker. It's a safety thing, okay.
When a man gets older, why does his hair stop growing on the top of the head and move down to the ears, nose and eyebrows?
Is it something in the male gene pool that causes this? I'm sure Charles Darwin would have had some evolutionary response to this question.
If asparagus is such a fast-growing plant, why is it so expensive?

by Adam Shell, USA Today
Stocks plunged Friday after the government said just 88,000 jobs were added to non-farm payrolls in March and the unemployment ticked down to 7.6% from 7.7% in February.
The jobs report is expected to add to fears the economy and job growth are in danger of stalling this spring for the fourth straight year. The fears are rising as stocks are trading near all-time highs and could be the catalyst to spark a price correction.
Investors fled to the safety of government bonds. The yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury plummeted to 1.68%, lowest since December, from 1.81% Thursday.
The jobs bummer is likely to prompt talk that the start of seasonal stock market weakness could be upon us.
"Here comes the 'Sell in May' talk," Don Rissmiller, a stock market strategist at Strategas Research Partners, told clients after the weak March jobs numbers were released. Rissmiller, of course, is referring to the historical data that shows stock performance in the six-month period from May through October is far less robust than the bullish November through April period.
But not every interpretation is a negative one.
Rissmiller advised clients not to give up on stocks. One bullish outcome of the softer jobs picture, he adds, is that it will likely allow the Federal Reserve to continue its easy-money policies. A recent fear circulating on Wall Street is that the good start to the year on the economic front would force the central bank to start throttling down its stimulus. What's more, many investors have been looking for a better entry point into stocks amid a record-breaking run.
Global markets are also being supported by similar easy-money policies being implemented in Europe and Japan, which should also provide a helping hand to stocks.
Investors must also keep in mind that the economy did create new jobs, albeit less than expected, but growth is growth, adds Steve Blitz, chief economist at ITG Investment Research.
Today's weak employment report indicates that "the economy is expanding but not accelerating" at a breakneck pace, he said.
The action in U.S. stocks came as Japan's market rallied sharply. Japan's main benchmark Nikkei 225 index reached a five-year record high today, after the central bank's unprecedented stimulus plan announced Thursday raised hopes of an economic turnaround. The Nikkei index ended 1.6% higher to 12,833.64. The sweeping shift in monetary policy came as a surprise to analysts.
"The size of monetary easing announced yesterday far exceeded expectations," analysts at DBS Bank in Singapore said in a commentary.
Elsewhere in Asia Friday, markets sank on fears of a recent outbreak of a deadly bird flu in China, ongoing political tensions between the U.S. and North Korea, and whether U.S. markets will swoon if the March jobs repost is weaker than expected.
In China, six people have died and authorities have ordered the slaughter of all poultry at a Shanghai market where the virus was detected.
Hong Kong's Hang Seng tumbled 2.7% to 21,726.90. South Korea's Kospi dropped 1.6% to 1,927.23..
In Europe, benchmark indexes in Great Britain, Germany and France were trading 1.5% despite better-than-expected economic reports on Germany's economy.
Benchmark oil for May delivery was down 49 cents to $92.77 per barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract fell $1.19 to finish at $93.26 per barrel on the Nymex on Thursday.

Almost everyone has dropped food on the floor and still wanted to eat it. Some people apply the "5-second rule" — that random saying about how food won't become contaminated with bacteria if you pick it up off the floor in 5 seconds or less.
The 5-second rule has become such a part of our culture that scientists actually tested it. As you can probably guess, they found that the "rule" is mostly myth: Bacteria can attach to food even if you pick it up super fast. So, depending on which types of bacteria happen to climb on board, you could still get sick.
Here are two facts to consider whenever you feel tempted by the 5-second rule:
Some bacteria are not harmful. But others can torture you with miserable stuff like diarrhea. Even if there's no visible dirt on your food, you can still get sick. You just can't tell what kinds of bacteria may be lurking on the floor.
So what are you to do with the piece of watermelon that just slipped from your grip? The safest choice is to throw it out. Or let the dog have it. (And there's another thing to consider — even the 5-second rule can't get around the fact that your food may have landed right in a spot where Fido parked his butt.)

Defending McCain
I have long held a high opinion of WORLD and its willingness to take a strong stand on issues, but I was disappointed with the trashing of Sen. John McCain ("Explaining McCain," Feb. 19). Comparing him to a liberal and a Marxist, asserting that he would essentially suspend the First Amendment, implying that he won his first election by buying it, and criticizing him as an inattentive husband (not to mention a divorced man) are just a few of the inappropriate comments made. Don't paint him as a liberal-he's not. I have not yet decided whether to vote for Mr. Bush or Mr. McCain in my own state's March 7 primary. It is a close call-far closer than your article makes it out to be. And frankly, articles such as this one might cause me to vote for Mr. McCain in sympathy. - Todd S. Beall, Lanham, Md.
Something's wrong
What an excellent article on John McCain exposing his views, philosophies, and policies which, contrary to his rhetoric, are not conservative. One thing that many conservatives fail to realize is that if the liberal media are constantly praising a candidate (no matter if that candidate says he is conservative) he must be doing something wrong. - Chuck Kittrell, Waynesboro, Ga.
Malicious assumptions
Although as a nonprofit organization you may not endorse a candidate, you apparently have no compunction about smearing Mr. McCain's character with malicious assumptions about his reaction to Cindy McCain's addiction and his divorce from his first wife. - Patricia Zimmerman, Tallmadge, Ohio
Hatchet job
We are not John McCain fans, but feel that the hatchet job you did on him is reprehensible. - William W. Long, Indianapolis, Ind.
Not the man
John McCain has become an outspoken advocate of campaign-finance reform, but his proposals would only make matters worse. His proposed bill would undermine free speech by preventing citizen organizations from purchasing political issue-oriented advertisements at election time. This would give more power to the media and make politicians more secure in their reelection bids and less answerable to the people, leading to more corruption. As well, there should be better enforcement of the campaign laws presently on the books. Adding new laws without punishing lawbreakers will make it even more difficult for honest politicians. Although Mr. McCain gives the impression of honesty, his policies and past questionable involvements show that he is not the man to lead America in effective reform. - Brian Black, Penns Creek, Pa.
If Gene Edward Veith was shocked by Lauren Winner's Beliefnet.com essay ("The Christian Cosmo girl," Feb. 19), so was the staff of Christianity Today. Her essay was poorly expressed, and therefore easily misunderstood. At CT, we stand firmly for the divine sexual order of one man leaving his parents to cleave to one woman for life, and we are working to make that ideal the attractive blessing God intended. - David Neff
Executive Editor
Christianity Today, Carol Stream, Ill.
"The Christian Cosmo girl" was the type of engaged, thoughtful response I was hoping my Beliefnet article would elicit. However, I never suggested that we should change what we teach about extramarital sex "just because many of [our] members do not live up to those teachings" or that "personal experience be allowed to trump Christian doctrine." I do believe that there should be someplace where I, and other singles, can acknowledge the desire for sexual relationships and, in the context of rich church tradition and in the company of older Christians, try to figure out what we can do about it. - Lauren F. Winner, New York, N.Y.
More than just talk
I was saddened by the sexual views and practices of Ms. Winner as a writer at Christianity Today. Don't they screen these people? Ms. Winner is correct that evangelicals need to talk more openly about sex and what it means to be single. But her version of talking apparently includes more than just talk. While preaching to evangelicals for more reality-based talk about sex, in her article she admitted to practicing sexual immorality but expressed no shame for her actions. - Jeff Short, Colorado Spring, Colo.
They flew too
In "Joke's on us" (Feb. 19), Joel Belz states that paleontologists were using a skeleton (purportedly of an animal with bird and dinosaur features) as proof "that there once had been a species of dinosaurs that flew." Scientists have known for many years about dinosaurs that flew, in particular several species of winged dinosaurs called pterodactyls. The Archaeopteryx, an extinct bird with reptilian and avian features, has been the subject of debates over evolution for some time now. Whether you take flying dinosaurs as proof of evolution depends on whether you believe in evolution in the first place. In the extinct Archaeopteryx and the presently surviving duck-billed platypus, the Lord demonstrates that He is creative. - James Klino, Cobleskill, N.Y.
Noses down
Thank you for your recent article about Weird Al Yankovic ("Mocking rock," Feb. 19). It is encouraging that WORLD does not shun comedians like Mr. Yankovic as many Christians do. My younger siblings sometimes stuff their shirts with pillows and dance to the "Fat" song (Weird Al's parody of Michael Jackson's "Bad"). More Christians should bring their up-turned noses back level with the ground, deflate their puffy shirts, and lighten their hearts with laughter. - Jonathan Lobel, 16, East Greenbush, N.Y.
Outrage created
I am taken aback by "Creating a new 'market' for international outrage" (Feb. 19). I will show the article to my church leaders in hope of making our body more aware of our Sudanese brothers and sisters' trials and suffering for Christ. The current administration's stand for human rights is just a farce as long as nothing is done to stop the war on the Sudanese people. - Leah C. Bond, Pensacola, Fla.
As I ate my hot meals today and last night, I couldn't shake the image of the young Sudanese boy. In the midst of our prosperity it is so easy to become immune to the pain and terror that is common in other countries. I hope his picture does not leave my mind until I somehow make a difference in the life of somebody like him. - Brittany Egloff, 17, Yorkville, Calif.
Regarding the letter writer who was shocked that no one seems to be bothered that Time Warner is feeding us worldviews ("A Timely world," Feb. 19), we shouldn't be surprised at this. We should, however, be shocked that many Christians aren't aware of this and are not guarding or controlling what they take in. - Nicole Capehart, 16, Marysville, Wash.
Heart starting
I certainly agree with the letter writer in the Feb. 26 Mailbag ("A no-brainer") that, if a doctor cannot sign a death certificate until the heart has stopped beating, then "even by the simplest of this world's views that life should, at latest, start with the first heartbeat." But those first heartbeats occur much earlier than the letter stated. Embryologically, the cardiovascular system develops between the third and fourth week. With the proper ultrasound probes, we are able to see and hear a beating heart four weeks after conception. - Beth Carmichael, Ponca City, Okla.
WORLD's the one
I've subscribed to several conservative publications over the years hoping to find well-balanced coverage of current events as well as a forum where my mind would not be polluted. I've discontinued all except yours. - Bob Dvorak, Lake Jackson, Texas
Typical tabloid
The headline of your article on Hillsdale College ("The truth is buried," Feb. 5) is misleading and typical of tabloid newspapers. It implies that something is being hidden, even though your article concluded that all investigated rumors "when tracked to their sources ... vaporized" and "it appears the Hillsdale Board has acted in this particular matter as most boards would." - Ronald J. DeHaas, Owosso, Mich.

Can the baby's heartbeat be seen and heard a week and 3 days after having sex ?
I went to the doctors because I had some spotting the same day I took a home pregnancy test that came back positive (witch at the doctors everything turned out fine at the end). They did an ultrasound ( done vaginal )and found the babys heartbeat and the doctors told me I was 5 weeks and 5 days. And was wondering if it is at all possible to hear the babys heartbeat at 3 weeks and 3 days ( witch is 10 days after having sex also the same time I stop drinking ) and also would an ultrasound be off by two weeks so early on in the pregnancy? Please help!!

No - if you conceived on the 3rd you would not have been far enough along to hear a heartbeat.posted 05/06/2013 by kericksen
I mean if I had sex on the 3rd * would I have been able to hear it on the 13th?posted 05/05/2013 by a BabyCenter Member
The doctor told me I was 5w5d this was back on the 13th of march . So my question is if I went to the doctors on the 13th of march and heard the heartbeat when I went to the doctors is it possible to have heard and seen the heartbeat if I had sex on the 13th of march 10 days prior to go going to the doctors ?posted 05/05/2013 by a BabyCenter Member
The heart doesnt start beating until 5 weeksish so no, you could not see it or hear it at 3 weeks. US's are the most accurate in the first trimester because baby changes so much on a daily basis that they can pinpoin with more accuracy gestation. Accuracy goes down drastically after 12 weeks and again even more so after 27 or 28 weeks. An US this early could not be off by more than a week. So if you are 5 weeks and 5 days you would have conceived roughly 3 weeks ago (you techincally arent even pregnant the first 2 weeks of your pregnancy)posted 05/04/2013 by kericksen
A little confused by this question. When the doctor told you you were 5 weeks 5 days it really meant you were 3 weeks and 3 days. When the doctors estimate due dates they go from your last menstral period to make it easier to calculate. So you get a "bonus" 2 weeks if that makes since. Usually the earliest you can hear a hb is 6 weeksposted 05/04/2013 by tbost

BOSTON The latest polls show former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney holds onto a lead in New Hampshire ahead of the state's primary Tuesday.
But a new tracking poll from Suffolk University shows that lead may be slipping. In the poll, Romney has 33 percent of the vote, compared to 43 percent last week. Former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman and Texas Rep. Ron Paul gained a few points each in the new poll.
Political analysts Republican Todd Domke and Democrat Dan Payne are expecting an easy Romney victory.
"Let's face it," Todd said. "Mitt Romney has been campaigning in New Hampshire for about five years. It's expected for him to win, it's safe for him. If it fails to be a big victory, that will be significant, but the big story will be who comes in second and third place."
"Romney needs to beat Mr. Second — whoever it happens to be — by 20 to 25 points in order to have bragging rights," Payne said. "If he does that, the nomination may not be in his pocket, but it's going to be in the vicinity of his belt."
Payne and Domke joined Morning Edition Monday to give their take on the state of the contest in this 11th hour.

About Belltech Parts & Accessories
Over 25 years ago a small company in Fresno, California had an idea to build the "best performing" lowering suspensions for the Chevrolet pickup. Fresno had been a haven for lowered vehicles and trucks were in abundance. Trucks were being lowered but their suspensions were terrible and not very roadworthy. Springs were either replaced with new ones not necessarily meant for the application and even worse they may be cut or heated with a torch at the local muffler shop to give the lowered stance that was cool. The stance looked good but the ride was terrible. Belltech's design staff had a better idea - Why not build a spindle where the wheels are higher but all of the rest of the front end geometry stays the same? In fact that's just what they did and the drop spindle that launched the Sport truck craze in America was born.
To go along with the drop spindle the rest of the truck suspension needed to be addressed also. Shackles, hanger kits, lowered coil springs and flip kits soon followed. Keeping with the spirit of the "best performing" suspension the Belltech staff designed and created these components using superior materials and designs. The result made Belltech the most asked for and successful truck suspension brand in the industry. Belltech's success in the late '80's and '90's made it possible for the company to grow from a modest beginning, to a larger manufacturing facility with a satellite warehouse and finally in 2003 to the current 115,000+ sq. ft. operation located in Sanger, California. The Sanger facility has made it possible to expand every aspect of the operation.
In early 2005 Belltech and its sister company Suspension Techniques joined the team of KW automotive North America, Inc., the North American arm of KW automotive GmbH, Germany. As part of KW automotive North America, Inc. Belltech continues its growth in product development and technology advancement along with its three sibling companies: KW Suspensions - The world leader in height and dampening adjustable coilover suspension.

They're completely different to be honest, but they're both chameleons (if that's what you had in mind).

What I had in mind is they're both silhouetes of chameleons in the same position and direction. What I had in mind is Constantine's design REMINDS me a lot of the other one. What I did not mean is Constantine copied the other one, and I love both of them, just to make myself very clear. ;)

Bakken Oil Plunges on Illinois Refinery Work, Pipe Restrictions
Bakken oil's premium to West Texas Intermediate plunged after Marathon Petroleum Corp. advanced maintenance at its Illinois refinery and TransCanada Corp. planned to restrict some oils on its Keystone pipeline in July.
Marathon will shut a crude unit at its Robinson refinery in Illinois about June 9, a person familiar with the situation said June 1. The work was previously scheduled for July, according to the person.
TransCanada plans to temporarily restrict crudes on the Keystone pipeline with a Reid vapor pressure exceeding 8.5 pounds per square inch starting July 1, a person with knowledge of the plans said May 31. Light sweet crudes typically have higher vapor pressures than heavy oils.
Bakken oil's discount widened $4.50 a barrel to $12 below U.S. benchmark WTI at 1:31 p.m. in New York, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. That's the cheapest the graded has traded since March 23.
Syncrude's discount to WTI widened $3.75 a barrel to $9, the cheapest the grade has traded since March 22. Western Canada Select's discount widened $5.25 to $25 a barrel below the U.S. benchmark.
Most U.S. Gulf Coast crude grades also weakened. Light Louisiana Sweet's premium to WTI lost 10 cents to $11.90 a barrel. Heavy Louisiana Sweet's premium decreased 15 cents to $14.50 a barrel.
Mars Blend's premium narrowed 35 cents to $9.75. Southern Green Canyon's premium lost 25 cents to $9.50. Poseidon's premium decreased 25 cents to $8.75.
The premium for Thunder Horse, a sour crude with lower sulfur content than Mars, Poseidon and Southern Green Canyon, widened 40 cents to $11.80 a barrel.

Movie review: War of the Worlds
Movies | Steven Spielberg's retelling of this classic science-fiction tale is distilled down to an account of one family's fight for survival
Most summer blockbusters are like concert films. They're not so much unified stories as a collection of crowd-pleasing crescendos. It's as though the filmmakers don't trust themselves to really sell the action, so they rely on a series of small payoffs-a Will Smith one-liner or the creative annihilation of a villain-to keep the audience engaged.
War of the Worlds is Steven Spielberg's $150 million answer to the blockbuster as concert film, relying on gritty realism and sustained intensity in a story dependent on wild leaps of imagination. For the most part, Mr. Spielberg succeeds-although he's tripped up by some usual Spielbergian pitfalls.
War of the Worlds is a new adaptation of H.G. Wells' 1898 novel, which was famously adapted as a radio play by Orson Welles and later as a 1953 movie. The PG-13-rated film (for frightening sequences of sci-fi violence and disturbing images) is far too intense for young kids and contains some bad language, but it's clearly a cut above standard summer fare.
This retelling of Welles' story is distilled down to an account of one family's fight for survival. Tom Cruise plays Ray, a New Jersey dockworker at the heart of the story. Ray, who drives a Mustang and is clad in a leather jacket, lives alone-he's rebuilding a car engine in his kitchen. Mr. Cruise as a dockworker is perhaps the film's biggest strain on credulity, but the actor pulls off some nice moments. It's an interesting extension of previous characters, a one-time hotshot who's now divorced and doesn't know how to relate to his two kids. Ray still has the trappings of cool, but he's an aging failure.
Ray's kids come to stay with him for the weekend at the outset of the film. Rachel (the always reliable Dakota Fanning) is a precocious preteen; Robbie (Justin Chatwin) is a sullen teenager. Just hours into their stay with dad, a violent lightning storm-minus both thunder and rain-rocks the neighborhood. Reports of similar storms across the globe, knocking out power and disabling everything from watches to cars, come across the television before New Jersey, too, loses connection to the outside world.
When the storm subsides, Ray walks outside and watches one of the deeply buried "tripods" that will menace humanity for the rest of the film emerge from beneath the surface of the earth. It's one of War's best special-effects sequences, as massive cracks split buildings in two and asphalt ripples as though it were liquid.
After that, the rest of the film is mostly just running and hiding, but Mr. Spielberg, so thoroughly in command of his craft, knows how to build, and build upon, furious intensity. War is remarkable almost as much for what is absent as what is present. Never does Mr. Spielberg cut away to deliberating politicians, grim-faced generals, or baffled scientists, now prerequisites of disaster films. He resolutely stays with Ray and his family, never allowing the audience the breathing room of escaping their panicked flight.
For all the missed opportunities of which some might complain-the larger significance of the alien invasion or the reasons behind it are not once explored-one must first judge the film based on what the director was trying to accomplish. And, in the context of Mr. Spielberg's limited focus, War is quite effective. Mr. Spielberg rightly understands that it is the human element, not the special effects themselves, that are most compelling. It's the panic of a confused and terrified crowd, a desperate fight for a working vehicle, and the catastrophic sinking of a ferry boat that hit closest to home.
It is that same human element, though, that also weakens the film. Mr. Spielberg delves into an unconvincing subplot with Ray's son, who seems to want to fight the aliens but has a hard time verbalizing it. He also tacks on a happy ending that provides one of the film's truly groan-worthy moments. Family is always an important theme in Mr. Spielberg's films-but it's not always clear what he's trying to communicate, nor does he often find a way to rise above sap.
But as a demonstration of Mr. Spielberg's enormous gifts in storytelling-he has a rare confidence in both himself and his audience-and as a refreshingly sincere attempt at summer blockbuster thrills, War of the Worlds is unlikely to be matched soon.

In former papers I have reviewed evidence as to the manner of the transport of calcium salts in the blood stream and their deposition in bone and in calcified areas. The deposition of calcium in bone is in an extremely fine form and in such a manner that from appearances alone it might be interpreted according to the bias of the observer, either as a secretory phenomenon of the osteoblasts and bone cells or as a precipitation phenomenon. Correlated with physiologic evidence, however, the balance of proof is in favor of the secretory view. The object of this investigation, was to learn whether such was also the case in areas of calcification. In this paper I shall review the information I have obtained by the examination and study of various calcified areas, and shall discuss the conclusions to be made from the facts presented.
