In a bill passed in July by the U.S. House of Representatives, the North American-Made Energy Security Act obliged the President to decide by November 1 whether to move forward with the 1,700-mile pipeline, which would transport Canadian crude oil from the Athabasca Oil Sands in northeastern Alberta, Canada, to Steele City, Nebraska, and then on to the Gulf Coast.
As The New American reported two weeks ago, political opposition and environmental rhetoric hover around Obama's verdict to approve the Keystone XL pipeline. Opponents insist that the pipeline would cause "catastrophic" aftereffects, resulting in destroyed landscapes, contaminated wildlife, and severe air and water pollution. One of the more dramatic concerns is over two particular terrains which the pipeline would cross: a wetland ecosystem called the Sandhills in Nebraska, and the Ogallala Aquifer, one of the world's largest fresh water reserves.
At a Grand Island district board meeting in October 2010, TransCanada spokesman Jeff Rauh detailed the route crossing through the Ogallala Aquifer. When questioned by central directors about the pipeline's likelihood of inflicting environmental damage on the aquifer, Rauh attested that the effects from a spill would be minimal. Further, he pointed out that the oil's movement through groundwater is steady and gradual, and if a spill did occur, the affected area would encompass only about 300 feet around the spill.
In another forum, Rauh was questioned on the probable outcomes of severe climate-related events — a meaningful argument for opponents who claim the pipeline's physical structure is built with inexpensive, Chinese-made material. When asked about the pipeline's ability to withstand natural disasters, Rauh responded, "[The Keystone XL pipeline] has the toughness and flexibility to deal with those events, and [is] designed to operate safely in the event of an earthquake."
Although opponents do pose valid concerns, the degree of damage from a leak or spill would be nominal, and the pipeline's construction and technology are designed to cope with such occurrences. The Trans-Alaska Pipeline became operational in 1977, and while leaks and accidents have occurred — as in every other medium of energy extraction — such "catastrophic" scenarios which environmental doomsayers tout have never materialized.
A couple of weeks ago, Canada's Natural Resources Minister, Joe Oliver, met with White House officials, Energy Secretary Steven Chu, and Republican leaders to discuss the Keystone XL pipeline and Canada's dedication to developing its oil sands in an environmentally sustainable manner. Oliver told the group that the pipeline is prepared to send 30 million barrels to the United States every two months — the same amount President Obama released from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve during the turmoil in Libya.
"We remain optimistic that the government understands that this is a very important project for the United States to provide secure energy from a reliable friend and partner," Oliver told leaders at the Canadian embassy in Washington. "It will generate a huge amount of economic activity and a large number of high-quality union jobs, construction jobs in the short term and many more jobs moving forward." Further, Oliver assured the group that the Canadian government is dedicated to dealing with environmental concerns in the "most responsible way possible." "It's clearly a win-win for both countries, and I remain optimistic," he declared.
A week before Oliver's visit to Washington, Canada announced a $53 million regime dedicated to "cutting-edge clean energy technology," which includes monitoring the environmental effects of oil sands production on air, water, plants, and animals. Oliver compared the per-barrel pollution of the Keystone XL pipeline to heavily produced oil areas in California and Saudi Arabia, and noted that the Alberta fields account for 0.1 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. "In absolute terms, total oil sand emissions are equivalent to emissions from coal-fired electricity generation in Wisconsin," Oliver added.
TransCanada affirms that their pipeline systems are digitally monitored 24 hours a day, and in the event of an accident, TransCanada staff are able to shut down the pipeline and isolate the affected pipe section in a matter of minutes. The company explains on its website the safety and efficiency of pipeline oil transportation:
Pipelines are the safest method for the transportation of petroleum products when compared to other methods of transportation. Steel pipelines provide the safest, most efficient and most economical way to transport crude oil. Each year, billions of gallons of crude oil and petroleum products are safely transported on pipelines. If they do occur, pipeline leaks are small; most pipeline leaks involve less than three barrels, 80% of spills involve less than 50 barrels, and less than 0.5 percent of spills total more than 10,000 barrels.
In looking beyond the environmental factors of the Keystone XL pipeline, analysts pose the question: Who should benefit from such vast sums of new oil — China or the United States?
Oil extraction is a delicate concern for the EPA and environmental activists because the process involves surface-mining the tar sands, which can potentially — but rarely, if ever, severely — scar the landscape and emit more greenhouse gas than traditional crude oil production. But in the case of the Keystone XL pipeline, extraction methods are irrelevant to the United States; the decision is up to the Canadian government. President Obama's decision is not whether to extract the oil, but whether to transport it.
So regardless of Obama's decision to authorize the pipeline, the oil will likely be produced — which, if the President does not grant approval, means only that instead of the oil heading south to the United States, it will exit to China and other countries. A subsidiary of the China National Oil Company has already offered $2.1 billion to buy a Canadian oil sands producer in Calgary.
Indeed, observers say this is what environmentalist groups neglect to note: that Canada's selling oil to China, India, and other countries will have no environmental benefit for the United States. But what it will do is abandon thousands of high-paying jobs and further increase U.S. energy dependence on oil produced by tyrannical regimes.
A new study published by Canada's Fraser Institute and the Competitive Enterprise Institute rates the mores and values of 38 oil-producing nations, analyzing eight measurements of women's freedoms and 17 different variables of civil, political, and economic freedoms. According to the study, of all 38 countries, Canada and Norway are the only two with whom the United States shares common values and individual freedoms.
In support of the pipeline, Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.), a member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, posed an argument on the U.S. House floor:
What does the pipeline mean for the United States and for Illinois? For starters it means creating more than 100,000 American jobs. It means 1.3 million barrels of oil from our friends to the North, which means we will need less oil from the Middle East, less oil from Venezuela, less oil from countries we can no longer rely on and are not friendly to the interests of the United States. And, it means $5.2 billion in new property tax revenue for bankrupt states.
The State Department has at their discretion the authority to decide if the US benefits from the pipeline. The fact is that someone will benefit from the oil out of Alberta. If it's not the United States it will be China, unless we take immediate action to expand the Keystone pipeline — and it will be American businesses and consumers who will suffer the consequences from our inaction.

Program Description:
Within sales teams there are varying levels of skill and success. While the effective sales coach can coach at every skill level, many sales coaches are challenged by what to do with the high performer — the team member whose skill, knowledge, and results are exemplary. Retaining and motivating high sales performers and keeping them happy is critical — others on the team follow their lead, they are costly to replace, and they make a major contribution to the business. While coaches are often busy focusing their efforts on others, top performers deserve the same attention as the rest of the team — which is why coaches need to know how to give positive feedback to keep them motivated.
Richardson's sales motivating training program for high performers helps sales managers define the right process and skills to provide high-impact praise. Using highly customized cases and exercises, participants practice a Praise Model to acknowledge the accomplishments of top performers, use questioning skills to help them share and savor the moment, and leverage their accomplishments to help others on the team. Participants practice how to resist the temptation of mixing constructive feedback with praise and instead allow the salesperson to bask in the praise by discussing the specifics that led to the success. They also practice tailoring motivational strategies to individual sales representitives, sharing feedback upward when appropriate, and linking rewards to behavior.
Business Benefits
Audience: Program content is highly customized to any level, from new to experienced sales managers
Delivery Options: Available through one-half day classroom delivery (Richardson-led or train-the-trainer), one-on-one coaching, or webinar; wide variety of relevant books and support materials to embed and sustain learning are also available.

Paolo and Vittorio Taviani, the Italian brothers who co-directed flinty, passionate films like Padre Padrone and The Night of Shooting Stars in the late Seventies and early Eighties, probably haven't gone soft in the head. But Fiorile, which traces the legend of a family curse through two centuries of domestic upheaval, has a sweet, almost precious quality undetectable in their previous work. The Tavianis remain masterful storytellers, but they're a little careless this time with the zabaglione.
In the verdant hills of Tuscany, people have called the Benedetti ("blessed") family the "Maledettis" ("cursed") ever since the late eighteenth century. Then, we see, Jean (Michael Vartan), a handsome young officer in Napoleon's invading army, falls in love with the peasant family's lovely daughter, Elisabetta (Galatea Ranzi). Swept away by passion, Jean neglects a chest of regimental gold.
Jean is martyred, the tainted gold makes the Benedettis rich, and the Tavianis are supplied with three more episodes, also viewed in flashback. In 1903 a jilted bride-to-be, Elisa, (again, Ranzi) takes ancestral revenge on her scheming brothers. In 1944 Elisa's grandson, Massimo (again, Vartan) is plagued anew by the family stain when he and his beloved (Chiara Caselli) try to take up arms against the Fascists.

In the present day, Massimo's son, French daughter-in-law and two grandchildren (who've been regaled en route with the dark family stories) unexpectedly visit the haunted old man, and the Benedetti saga limps to a conclusion, a bit too drenched in ghosts and melodrama.
Fiorile (the name Jean gave to Elisabetta in honor of the Revolution) is about the captivating power of myth in families. Amid its playfulness it takes on tones of fairy tale and fable, and it's hugely enjoyable in spots.
But Italian films are not known for their sluggishness: This one lumbers along, taking in every detail along the generational route, doting too long on many. Are the Benedettis really cursed? Probably not, but Fiorile might be--by mediocrity.

MILLIONAIRE Liberal frontbencher Malcolm Turnbull has an investment in a company that has received almost $2 billion in Federal Government contracts.
Mr Turnbull owns bonds in Defence Department contractor Praeco Pty Ltd, a consortium chosen by the Howard government seven years ago to build and maintain the Australian military's central command headquarters for 30 years.
The secure site just outside Canberra has also been mooted as an alternative seat of government in the event of a national emergency and Parliament House becoming unavailable.
Tender notices show Praeco is contracted to the project for $1.54 billion but has also received another 30-odd contracts totalling almost $10 million to June last year for additional work on the command centre.
Mr Turnbull on Sunday said there would be no issues with holding the bonds if he became communications minister in a Coalition government's cabinet which made decisions on Defence policy.
He said the bonds were declared at the time of purchase in March last year, the Commonwealth's policy decisions relating to the project had already been made years earlier and the command centre contract was locked in and long-term.
However, he noted that the bonds could be disposed of easily if necessary.
"I cannot see what decisions a government could make which would affect the value of the bonds or what conflict therefore could arise,'' he said, describing them as a "passive investment" with the bonds not repayable until 2020.
"But, in any event, there are well understood means of dealing with conflicts or potential conflicts and, of course, the most important factor is disclosure which has been done in accordance with the rules.''
The links to the government contractor have emerged amid tensions in Liberal ranks over Mr Turnbull's recent public declaration he was more popular than Opposition Leader Tony Abbott.
In mid-2006, Praeco was chosen to build the $300 million headquarters under a public-private partnership deal.
Mr Turnbull was not a member of Cabinet at the time as he was a parliamentary secretary to then prime minister John Howard.
In March last year, Mr Turnbull declared on his pecuniary interests register "Praeco Pty Ltd bonds (M B Turnbull Pty Ltd)'' but has declined to nominate their value.
FIIG Securities, which reportedly trades Praeco bonds to retail and commercial investors for at least $50,000 per bond, has previously said a bond from the vehicle offers a yield to maturity of more than 7 per cent.
A Defence spokesman said the extra contracts given to Praeco for the command centre related to "enabling utility services for the site and additional works since contract commencement, including internal fibre optic cabling, internal office reconfiguration, power upgrades, stationery, mail delivery, catering, site works, monuments and security works".
Mr Turnbull, whose wealth has been estimated at almost $200 million, said he knew what Praeco was at the time of the purchase but did not see any issue with his parliamentary business.
"It's all done and dealt with,'' he said.
"It's a totally passive investment. The price of this bond will really only fluctuate on its own.''

Titans head coach Mike Munchak says to "assume" Matt Hasselbeck will start against the Indianapolis Colts Sunday because the team has to make sure Jake Locker's shoulder is healing properly.
Hasselbeck got his second straight win with Sunday's 35-34 victory in Buffalo.
His first win came at home against the Steelers in week six.
Hasselbeck has been the starter since Locker injured his non-throwing shoulder against the Houston Texans on September. He returned to the practice field last week but did not dress for Sunday's game against the Bills.
Kick-off between the Titans and Colts is set for Noon Sunday at LP Field.

What is the Latin phrase used in assoc with economic models that means without any outside influences.?
It's kind of hard to explain, but it i think it means this model is true as long as everything around it remains the same, or neutral or something like that.
It is probably Ceteris paribus, which means "all things being equal."
Who are some hot female latin models?

Do Latin or "Hispanic" models exist?
I want to know if there are Latin or "Hispanic" models. If possible, I want names.
I'm from Brazil and when I browse through Ford Models Brazil website the models all look WHITE or BLACK, none of them look like most Brazilians (the Latin look). So don't send me names of white models born in Latin countries like Gisele Bundchen. They are born in Latin America but are white.

Who are some busty or buxom models of color?
Excluding porn stars! But who are some models of African, Latin, East Indian, etc heritage that are very busty with a bra size over a size B?
ketoy (sp?) johnson. She is very curvy and is of African descent.
Difference between the American parenting model and the Latin parenting model?
What's the difference, and whose guys come out better in the end?
Generally speaking, with exceptions of course, Latin guyren are much more family oriented and loving. They value their family and are more obedient. The average American guy is more concerned with self and their possessions. This is true for the present as their parents were raised that way.
How come white models are skinny and latins models are curvy?
Are there any black , non white , or latin countries that can be looked up to as models ( not just wealthy )?
safe, transit , healthcare , minmal corruption , jobs , pay , etc. for other countries to emulate ?
No, there are no black countries that are considered models. Asiaian and Latin American countries have been more successful. Corruption is the problem with the black countries. These people have a problem with standing up for what is right and fighting for it. There is not the sense of values that other countries have. That is not racist, it is just a fact. They need to get get rid of the corruption and then maybe they won't be third world anymore.

What Daniel Tosh & 5 New Books Have In Common
My brain has been in a whirlwind. Many books, many great thinkers whispering in my thoughts…
So instead of focusing on one specific book today I think I'll share 4 or 5 great concepts on living the "Good Life" I have run across recently.
They are in no specific order but they will show you the value of diversifying your learning base:
1. "(While Leonardo DA Vinci was painting the Last Supper) The prior complained of Leonardo's apparent sloth, and wondered why he would sometimes sit before the walls for hours without painting a stroke. Leonardo has no trouble explaining to the Duke that an artists most important work lies in conception rather than in execution, and 'men of genius do most when they work least'." — Will Durant "The Renaissance"
I talk about this a lot in my 67 steps program (the new version will be out later this week). Most humans pride themselves on their 'flurries' of activity. But in the end it's not the person who loads their day with pointless activity that wins. Clearly, if Da Vinci, needed one hour of thought to execute, you and I should think more deeply before we proceed.
2. "Let thy house be a meeting-place for the wise; cover thyself with the dust of their feet, and drink in their words with thirst." Pirke Avot
I'm going to make this the door mat to my house. Watch the movie "Midnight In Paris" from Woody Allen (Check out my movie review page I just started on), and its message about the value of literally turning some physical location into a meeting place for the sharpest people you know to come hang out.
Try a movie night at your place, or a poker night, anything that will make your house a meeting place for the best local people you can talk into coming over.
3. "Ask God for a great assistant. No joke. A great one can make your life a whole lot easier —or, in my case, almost manageable. Norma Foerderer has been with me for twenty-three years." –Donald Trump: "How to Get Rich."
You can't really get more practical advice than this. I have 3 assistants and every time I meet someone who doesn't have at least one, I literally think they are either insane or possess some super power I can not fathom. Apparently billionaires feel the same way.
4. "Love is indeed much less exacting than it thinks itself. Nine-tenths of its cause are in the lover, for one-tenth that may be in the object." George Santayana: "The Life of Reason"
This is not a viewpoint on love many people want to hear but even scientists would agree it's probably the truth. If you ever feel heartbroken or lonely, remember that even the most sincere love that you feel from another human is probably still more about them then you.
Santayana is saying that 90% of the reason people love you is because of what they get from it, it's not really about you (the 10%). That doesn't have to be a depressing message. It can help you see clearly through the inevitable loneliness all humans must experience at some time in their life.
It's ironic but once you realize in a certain sense we are always
alone you will gain a new sense of boldness that will actually make more humans interested in getting to know you. Independence leads to stronger social ties.

Elderly centres understaffed
More than half of daycare centres for the elderly in Hong Kong suffer from serious staff shortages,
According to a survey by the Hong Kong Council of Social Service (HKCSS) and the Jockey Club Centre for Positive Ageing, which canvassed 55 daycare centres that together provide services for more than 3,200 elderly people, the shortfall affected the quality of service.
HKCSS chief executive Christine Fang says that on average, each elderly person occupies 2.6 square metres in these centres, while four centres share one occupational therapist or physiotherapist. The survey also reported that 98 per cent of the respondents found it challenging to care for physically fit elderly people with dementia.
Ethics make economic sense
Integrity has a tangible impact on corporate performance, a new survey shows. Findings from a study by the Corporate Executive Board (CEB), a research and advisory services firm, show that companies with weak ethical cultures experience 10 times more misconduct than those with higher standards.
The most effective preventative measures start from within the corporation, such as ensuring open communication between employees and managers and building trust in leadership.
"Operating in an ethical culture may seem like a given but, for many companies, creating one is an uphill battle," says CEB's Dan Currell. "In an ethical culture, employees feel comfortable voicing their concerns, and trust their colleagues will do the same. Leadership has to set a tone that inspires trust in their own ethics."
Based on a survey of about 500,000 employees in more than 85 countries, CEB found that corporate cultural integrity reduces employee misconduct and improves business performance. For example, companies with open communication deliver average shareholder returns that are 5 per cent higher than their peers, while managers who exhibit corporate values can improve employees' performance by 12 per cent.
Older women 'dependent'
More than one in four women in Britain are forced to rely on their husband's pension to see them through their old age,
Only 35 per cent of women said their own savings would provide their main source of income in retirement, while 28 per cent said they would rely on their partner's pension benefits.
A further 22 per cent of women surveyed said the state pension would support them through their old age, according to insurance company Prudential. The research also showed that 34 per cent of the women, who planned to rely on their husbands financially in retirement, admitted that they did not know the details of their partners' pension plans.
Women receive an average of £12,200 a year (HK$146,431) in retirement income compared with £19,600 for men. The survey questioned 1,172 people aged over 40 living with a partner during July.

Venezuela President Hugo Chavez confirmed he had suffered a recurrence of cancer, saying he would need radiotherapy treatment after the removal of another tumour even though there was no evidence of metastasis.
"I will live! I will overcome!" the 57-year-old socialist leader said in a televised meeting with some cabinet colleagues from Cuba, where he underwent an operation six days ago.
Mr Chavez's comments about his health came at the end of a 90-minute address to Venezuelans, shown on live TV, in which he expressed confidence in his recovery, told jokes, signed state papers and even broke into song.
He is seeking to extend his 13-year rule at a presidential election in October, but his health problems have raised doubts about his capacity to campaign for the presidency or to rule for another six-year term should he win.
In his comments from Havana, which were broadcast today but recorded on Saturday, Mr Chavez varied between smiling enthusiasm and moments of introspection.
"We are all human, we are all extinguishable, more so with the life I have had, where one year seems like a hundred," he said.
Mr Chavez gave no word on when he would return to Venezuela.
He scoffed at "speculators with nothing better to do", who had suggested his cancer had spread - or metastasized - to other organs, saying that was not true.
A tumour had been successfully removed from the same pelvic area where a larger tumour was taken out in 2011, Mr Chavez said. "This time the recovery is much quicker," he said.
Radiotherapy would, however, be needed, he added.

Keynote's DeviceAnywhere platform Fully Integrated with RQM 3.0.1
JoshGalde 270005VQUH Visits (4618)
The rise of smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices for business use has been a point of tension for some organizations in the past, especially within professions where "desk presence" was traditionally used to measure productivity. However, according to the latest Mobile Workforce Report by Visage Mobile, this viewpoint could be outdated, as employees are now thinking about work even during their personal downtime more than ever, thanks in large part to their smartphones.
Mobile is no longer a nice-to-have but a strategic asset that can be tied back to business objectives and ultimately impact the bottom line. As a result, companies are now looking to roll out these technologies on an unprecedented scale and quality control is at the top of the IT department's agenda.
Keynote's DeviceAnywhere platform supports the latest extension for Rational Quality Manager 3.0.1. The deep integration of DeviceAnywhere TCE Automation and IBM Rational Quality Manager 3.0.1 provides a holistic approach for mobile enterprise app test management and execution.
The TCE Automation integration to Rational Quality Manger enables users to:
The integration to Rational Quality Manager also enables Keynote DeviceAnywhere customers to transform their mobile application software delivery through use of IBM Rational's Collaborative Lifecycle Management solution to enable active collaboration and end-to-end traceability.
If the latest market report from Gartner is any indication, the pervasiveness of smartphones and the commonality of always being connected will only increase. According to the research firm, a total of 427.8 million mobile communication devices were shipped during the first quarter of 2011, 24 percent of which were smartphones. IBM and DeviceAnywhere are subsequently working together to help developers, QA managers, engineers and business analysts take control of the mobile opportunity and bring quality mobile applications to market faster than ever before.

I don't know any woman who demanded a present. I certainly didn't. It was a token of love given to me by my husband to commemorate a new beginning for us. To suggest that a present was required for a woman to birth her children is not only illogical (no one can stop the birthing process, no matter how much they want to), it isn't very nice either.
Not at all. A push present isn't a necessity to make having your first child easier. Having a baby shower simply lets friends and family give baby gifts to the new parents. I agree with the others in that the baby is enough of a push present.

Development of a Model of Knowledge Mining for Forecasting Financial Markets with Allocation of Standard Tendencies from the Time Series
The article develops a model of knowledge mining for forecasting financial markets with allocation of standard tendencies from the time series. The model is considered from the point of view of application of the Knowledge Mining technology. The article provides solution of the direct and inverse problems of adequacy of processing economic information within the framework of acquisition of the formal feature of metricity in the process of the model application. The article shows that due to optimisation the models on the educational sampling of knowledge acquire the notional component, that is the semantic feature. The article offers ways of assessing characteristics of consistency and fullness for ensuring knowledge with a formal feature of activity. The feature of knowledge coherence is included into the fullness characteristic.

Horn Sharks
What do horn sharks look like? How do they behave? Everything you need to know about horn sharks?
What do they look like?
Horn sharks give the appearance of creatures you don't want to mess with. They are the only sharks that have spines near their dorsal fins along with an anal fin. That's what makes them appear as "horned." These sharks are usually dark blue to gray in color and can be fairly large. Some adult horn sharks grow to five or six feet in length. Their heads are large, rounded, and dull on the end. But they have distinguishing bones that you can see through their skin just above their eyes. These sharks have small, but sharp teeth in the fronts of their mouths, which can see when they open up wide. But in the backs of their mouths are huge, unsharp molars.
How do they behave?
These sharks are generally slow animals. They tend to live on the bottoms of the oceans, so few humans ever really get to see them in their natural habitat, unless you're looking for them, of course. They are quite carnivorous, eating mainly deep-sea creatures such as worms, clams and sea urchins.
What else should you know about horn sharks?
Horn sharks mainly come out at night to hunt for their prey. They are generally nocturnal. During the day, they like to hang out in caves or other areas they can find to hide out in on the bottom of the ocean. They prefer to live in warm climates. They need warm water temperatures in order to survive.

Donald Trump Hannity interview, Rezko land deal, Obama birth certificate, Trump call me, More rezko corruption ties
"Why has Obama, since taking the White House, used Justice Department Attorneys, at taxpayer expense, to avoid presenting a legitimate birth certificate and college records?"…Citizen Wells and millions of concerned Americans
"Why did the Illinois Senate Health & Human Services Committee, with Obama as chairman, create and push Bill 1332, "Illinois Health Facilities Planning Act," early in 2003, which reduced the number of members on the Board from 15 to 9, just prior to rigging by Tony Rezko and Rod Blagojevich?"…Citizen Wells
Donald Trump was interviewed on the Sean Hannity Radio Show yesterday, April 7, 2011. Trump continued to speak out about the Obama eligibility and birth certificate issues. Trump also brought up the land deal between Obama and Rezko.
Trump: "Look at Obama. His deal. His only deal was Tony Rezko. That was the only deal he did. And if you did that did you'd be in big trouble."
Hannity: "I'd be in jail."
To Donald Trump from Citizen Wells.
Contact me. There is much more to the Obama Rezko connection than you mentioned including, but not limited to, the Kenneth Conner whistleblower lawsuit being active, Obama involvement in rigging the IL Planning Board and the Obama controlled Justice Dept. dropping charges against Blagojevich that link Obama to the corruption.

Ten years ago, Lara Shelton wasn't ready to tell the world she was gay. ¶ Not her parents. Not her boss. And certainly not the federal government. ¶ But last year, for the first time, Shelton was counted as a member of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender population when she reported to the federal government that she lived in a same-sex household. ¶ She's part of a growing population in Florida and Tampa Bay, which experts attribute to more people feeling comfortable being honest about their sexuality.
In 2010, Florida had slightly more than 65,000 same-sex households, a 60 percent jump from a decade ago. More than 16 percent of those are in the Tampa Bay area, which also saw big increases in its same-sex household population.
In fact, increases in local counties ranged from 53 percent in Hillsborough to a 91 percent spike in Hernando. Pinellas ranks as one of the top counties in the state for same-sex couples, with slightly more than 11 per 1,000 households, experts say.
Many couples in these households are raising children, the data show.
"I was still very much in the closet 10 years ago," said Shelton, executive director of First Night St. Petersburg. The 37-year-old lives in Largo with her partner and their 7-year-old daughter. "Now I'm very out."
The trend isn't just happening here.
Gary Gates, a demographer for the Williams Institute on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Law and Public Policy at UCLA, has been studying the LGBT population since 1990. He said experts anticipated an increase in same-sex households from the 2010 data, particularly because it still is a relatively new choice on the form. Same-sex households weren't a category on the census before 2000.
Yet it's not so much that same-sex couples are flooding certain states, Gates said, but that they're more willing to tell the government of their status.
"I have to admit that I didn't expect the increase to have been this large," Gates said. "The bulk of it has to be the willingness to report."
After all, many in the LGBT community say, social acceptance of their way of life has increased since the beginning of the new millennium.
A major marketing campaign aimed at getting the LGBT community to participate in the census also helped.
Tampa resident Ed Lally remembers e-mailing and lobbying fellow gay friends last year, encouraging them to fill out the census.
"Everything in this country comes back to numbers," said Lally, the Tampa Bay development director for Equality Florida. Lally, 58, has been with his partner Phil Dinkins for 34 years; the couple married in 2003 in Canada.
"That's why I think this is a critical piece of information. It gives us a voice. Until the numbers are concrete and in writing, it's almost as if you're not there — you don't even exist."
Gates said the census data is particularly significant because there isn't much broad demographic data on the LGBT community, yet their lives are debated "at almost every level of government."
Still, many believe the numbers remain low because some people are still wary of coming out — whether it's to their family and friends or the government.
"I just think people are stepping out and identifying themselves now, and I think the number will go up," said Hayden Sutherland, treasurer of a newly formed Tampa chapter of Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays. Sutherland, 44, came to Tampa more than 20 years ago after his family in Mississippi threw him out because of his sexual orientation.
He said the Tampa Bay area is more accepting of gay people than other areas of the South.
"We're no gay mecca, but we're a hell of a lot better than Mississippi," he said.
The existence of that local gay community also may be drawing more people to move or retire to this area, which also may account for some of the population increase, said Chris Rudisill, the executive director of the state's largest gay event, the annual St. Pete Pride Promenade Parade and Street Festival.
"I only moved here a few years ago and immediately was happy to find such a diverse community and a large LGBT presence, especially in Pinellas County," Rudisill said. "Society has changed a lot over the past 10 years. More and more people come out of the closet and less people feel that they need to, or worse yet, have to hide who they are."
That's how it was for Shelton. She said shortly after moving to Florida several years ago, she came out to her boss and her family.
"I realized it was really a nonissue," she said.

Numerous witnesses attended the party more than three years ago where Keya Simon died after she was stabbed when a fight broke out at her sister's home in north-end Dartmouth.
But Halifax Regional Police struggled to get those witnesses to co-operate so they could piece together the narrative that led to the 19-year-old mother's death.
And while Supt. Jim Perrin would not say whether a new witness or an old one came forward recently, he told reporters that investigators were just able to corroborate what happened that night, which led to charges against two Dartmouth men Thursday.
Demarqus Shane Beals, 25, is charged with second-degree murder in Simon's death after the altercation at the Pinecrest Drive apartment building in January 2011.
Carondo Shondez Downey, also 25, faced charges of aggravated assault and possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose. Those charges relate to Simon's 32-year-old sister, Tiesha Allison, who was also stabbed in the incident.
"It's one of the challenges that our investigators (encounter) in some of these serious incidents — a lack of co-operation," Perrin said Thursday. "We knew right from the beginning that there were a number of people who could have provided information."
The pair were arrested Wednesday. Police apprehended Beals in New Brunswick after he was released from a maximum-security federal prison where he was serving a sentence for drug possession, while Downey was picked up at a home in Dartmouth.
Beals had been a suspect from the beginning of the investigation, Perrin told reporters Thursday.
He would not release any details about the newest evidence, saying only that more details would come out in court.
"New information did come to light that helped us with information that we already had (and) that (meant we were) able to bring it to a conclusion today," he said.
Perrin wouldn't say outright whether any of witnesses at the party helped with the information, nor whether Simon's sister could add anything to the investigation.
Several uninvited people showed up that January night and a fight broke out, continuing outside the apartment where Simon suffered fatal stab wounds, police said.
Police said they found an unresponsive woman inside the front doors of the apartment building.
Investigators have been working the case file since Simon's death, Perrin said. However, there have been 64 homicides in the past five years, while there are about two dozen officers dedicated to those investigations, he said.
The two men charged in Simon's death appeared separately before Chief Judge Pam Williams in Dartmouth provincial court Thursday and will remain in custody until their next court dates.
Beals's defence lawyer Patrick MacEwen said he expects the Crown will be disclosing a "large volume" of evidence within the next couple of weeks.
After that evidence is reviewed, he said he will have a better idea of how much court time will be needed for the preliminary inquiry.
"He's doing as well as can be expected in the circumstances," MacEwen said of Beals outside court.

Downey will return to court Tuesday for a bail hearing. Beals will appear Sept. 22 to set dates for a preliminary inquiry.
If Beals wants bail, he'll have to make an application in Nova Scotia Supreme Court.
According to court documents, Beals has no fixed address but used to live on Lapierre Crescent in Dartmouth. Downey lives on Riley Road in Lake Loon, outside Dartmouth.
In addition to the drug charge, Beals has convictions for assaulting a police officer, obstructing police and breaching court orders.
Downey is also due in court Sept. 17 on three charges of causing a disturbance by fighting in public. He has convictions for breaching a firearms prohibition and breaching court orders.

In May, Moses performed in Chicago on piano and percussion with Artemis Singers for "A Feminist Mosaic" concert and dance, and will perform again in July as part of the Sister Singers Network Festival to be held at the University of Illinois at Urbana.
Morris Phibbs, Deputy Director, was guest speaker on February 20 at Mary Baldwin College in Staunton, Virginia, where he presented a lecture on black composers in the art music tradition with a special focus on Florence Price. He also gave presentations on February 22 and February 23 in Staunton and Waynesboro, Virginia, during performances by the Waynesboro Symphony Orchestra of Florence Price's Concerto in One Movement.
Manager of Web Applications Peter Shultz has spent this year in Northfield, Minnesota. Since January he has given guest lectures at the University of Minnesota campuses in Minneapolis and Duluth, and at Beloit College in Wisconsin. He also presented at the first North American Conference for Video Game Music at Youngstown State University, Ohio, and at the 2014 meeting of IASPM-US in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.
In addition to teaching Advanced/Professional Writing for the University of Chicago's Little Red Schoolhouse, Research Assistant Melanie Zeck also taught Western art music for music majors at Columbia College Chicago during the 2013–2014 academic year. This year she was one of five Columbia College instructors who transformed their traditional music history classes into online classes as part of grant from the College's Center for Innovation in Teaching Excellence. In June she will present a paper on this project at the Teaching Music History Conference organized by the American Musicological Society's Pedagogy Study Group. This spring Zeck was invited to give a lecture at DePauw University in Greencastle, Indiana, on the music of the nineteenth-century utopian community, New Harmony. This year marks New Harmony's 200th birthday, and Zeck plans to be present at the celebration. More recently, her short essay on the life of Josephine Baker appeared on Oxford University Press's OUPblog.

A priest from Luton has been found dead in Morrison's car park in Houghton Regis.
Father Joseph Williams, 42, is believed to have been dead in his car since Friday December 27 when he went out shopping.
Bishop of Northampton, the Right Reverend Peter Doyle, wrote on the Diocese of Northampton website that Father Joseph had died.
He said: "It is with much sadness that I write to let you know that Father Joseph Williams died suddenly while out shopping on Friday... Please pray for the repose of Joe's soul, for his family and for his parish. May he rest in peace."
A post-mortem is yet to be arranged but it is believed Father Joseph died of natural causes.
Bedfordshire Police were called to the car park on Monday.
Father Joseph was ordained priest on in July 2000.
He was Parish Priest of St Martin de Porres in Luton from 2008-2011, and Parish Priest of Our Lady of Lourdes in Milton Keynes.
Prior to that he served as an assistant priest in Burnham and Kettering, before moving to Biggleswade as Parish Administrator in 2006.

>The former Home Secretary Charles Clarke is to make a three day visit to Lancaster University in his role as Visiting Professor of Politics and Faith in the Department of Politics, Philosophy and Religion (PPR).>
The former Cabinet Minister, who played a central role in Tony Blair's Government and its response to terrorism, will give a lecture on "The global war on terror and challenges to democracy" on March 22 to first year politics undergraduates. He will give an insider's view of the trade-off between security and democracy focussing on his experiences of parliamentary debates and government policy.
His second lecture of the day will be to second year politics students and will be entitled "Policy making in Britain", drawing on his experiences in government.
He will also hold several meetings on March 23, including attending an UCAS Open Day with two hundred prospective students and their parents, following by an inaugural lecture at the Storey Institute in Lancaster entitled "Politics and Faith: why they are increasingly intertwined?"
The final day of his visit will see Charles Clarke give a postgraduate seminar followed by a talk to undergraduates on politics and human rights.
"I'm absolutely delighted to be a Visiting Professor of Politics and Faith at Lancaster and grateful for the opportunity. Faith plays an increasingly important role in national and international political life and its impact is insufficiently understood and discussed. Lancaster University is playing a leading role in addressing this problem and I hope that through this appointment I can contribute to better understanding of the issues at stake." Charles Clarke.

My joy at finding my precious wealth soon faded, however, when I espied my thieving nemesis, Black Scarlet, cavorting with none other than Mr. Tin, the ro-bot who once served as my nurse.
Faithful readers of the Publisher's Message will recall how, several Christ-mases ago, Mr. Tin fell madly in love with my iron lung and abandoned my employ, wheeling away his beloved with him. Treacherous metal turn-coat! He despised me because I never returned his pathetic entreaties for love and acceptance!
Seething, I could only watch helplessly behind a bush as Black Scarlet and Mr. Tin reveled amongst their ill-gotten gain. As they frolicked, I strained to hear their conversation with my ear-trumpet.
"Tin, my friend," Black Scarlet said, "thanks to you, I have achieved my long-time goal of relieving the vile plutocrat Zweibel of his riches. Many times I have bribed and cajoled his servants to disclose the where-abouts of the swag, but only you knew its precise location. You shall be rewarded handsomely, good ro-bot Tin!"
"How it cheers me to know," Black Scarlet continued, "that old Zweibel is as penniless as those he so cruelly exploited! And now, I will be able to distribute this booty to the deserving home-less and destitute, discard my red-and-black mask, and return to public life once again under my true identity: the lead singer of Queen, Freddie Mercury! No, I did not die in 1991—I went under-ground and assumed the unlikely alias of a saucy, epee-wielding, devil-may-care gentle-man-bandit of the open road!"
I did not understand Black Scarlet's latter remarks, but his cheek so other-wise enraged me that, in a burst of energy the likes of which I have not felt since I was 94, I fought off Standish's restraint and raised myself from my wheel-chair.
"Wretch!" I cried. "You may have stolen my fortune, but you shall not complete your nefarious mission if I have any-thing to do with it! Yes, 'tis I, T. Herman Zweibel, and I have come to reclaim both my dignity and my wealth! Standish, procure the bowie-knife! I shall run this evil-doer through and restore the tarnished Zweibel name to all its lustrous glory! Stand and deliver, scheming black-guard!"
Black Scarlet looked as though he had seen a ghost. But before he could recover, a booming voice and the click of a gun's safety sounded through-out the clearing.
"Sheriff's deputy! Reach for the sky, and don't move!"

Man bit off girlfriend's thumb during argument
Posted By Staff
Date: January 18th, 2013
Category: Nutty News
Florida – A Palm Bay man is accused of biting off his on-and-off again girlfriend's left thumb during a fight.
The incident began with a call from a nurse at Health First Holmes Regional Medical Center, Palm Bay police spokeswoman Yvonne Martinez said.
"The nurse advised the victim was treated for a severed left thumb, and that the woman continued to say, "I can't believe he bit my finger off,'" she said. "He bit it completely off and spit it out on the floorboard."
Martinez said hospital staff were not able to reattach her thumb.
When Palm Bay police got to the hospital, the woman was gone. They went to her last-known address, on East University Boulevard, and found Melbourne police were already at the scene. Full Article

Orthodontic Disaster
I have just recently gotten out of Orthodontic treatmen. The Orthodontist originally put me in upper braces only because all I wanted done was to have the two teeth on either side of my two upper front teeth straightened and pulled down even with my two front teeth. (They had been down and straight until they started to get crooked and move up into my upper palate about 15 years ago). Everything else in my mouth was comfortable and I did not want any further orthodontic treatment. The Orthodontist had the 5th tooth on my upper left side extracted because it was crowded. After my 3rd adjustment the two teeth were straight and down even with the two front teeth and I asked to go out of braces at that time, but the Orthodontist said that he would have to move my teeth to fill the space created by the extraction. The teeth straightened and moved down great with upper braces only. However when he started to move my teeth horizontally to fill the space created by the extraction, instead of my upper teeth moving, my lower jaw moved completely over to the left...He then had to put me into lower braces to correct the cross bite. Since he had me in lower braces he decided to move my lower jaw forward to correct my over bite. The problem was that he did not have the cross bite completely corrected when he started to move my jaw forward, so the right side of my jaw moved down further than the left side, and now my chin is crooked as well as still having some cross-bite to the left. This has caused the right side of my jaw to click when I chew or move my jaw from side to side, and my bite is way off. I cannot put my upper and lower front teeth together (I think that is considered an open bite) in front. My question is this: Can you please tell me if it would be possible to go back into braces and have an Orthodontist use the elastics to finish correcting the cross bite, and then put the elastics around the upper and lower teeth on each side of my mouth in the form of boxes again and align my jaw so that my chin is straight again, If this is possible should that take care of my jaw problem? or is this a permanent situation that cannot be corrected by going back into Orthodontic treatment. If you think further Ortho treatment would help me, could you please give me the name of an Orthodontist in the Dallas or Longview , Texas area who might be experienced in severe cases like mine. Thanks for your help.
It is not possible for me to diagnose your problem even though you have given an excellent description of your current status. There would need to be a review of the original records as well as an oral examination. Your open bite and cross bite could be due to a number of factors. Since it sounds multifactoral I suggest you first try the Orthodontic Department at the Baylor University. It is located at 3302 Gaston Ave. Dallas, Texas. If they do not accept transfer patients, I feel confident that they could recommend someone in your area.

Like Jeff Nolan and Russell Glass have recently expressed, I am struggling with the excitement surrounding podcasting. Yes, I understand that it is an extension of user-generated content into another media type and that it rides the wave of digitized sound files becoming ubiquitous with portable listening devices. I've listened to a fair share of technology-related podcasts myself (most of which have been forwarded to me by others), and they often provide unique insights (like Dave Winer's May interview with John Palfrey and Jim Moore a month before they announced their RSS Investors fund).
But I think that the main difficulty I have with podcasts stems from the fact that they are temporal in nature. Unlike static text or still-photographs, audio files (and video files, for that matter) possess a time component to them. This attribute poses two issues: first, the content cannot be easily scanned and adjusted accordingly by the reader. I can skim an article or a set of pictures to determine if I want to read the whole thing or view one in more detail. Instead with podcasts, I am required to listen to the content in its entirety to fully appreciate the value contained within it. In addition, temporal content doesn't allow for easy and direct pointing from other user-generated content. One of the great things about blogs compared to mere "old-fashioned" websites is the ability to trackback and point to another part of the conversation because an entry is permalinked. The ability to do this with audio files is more limited.
On the content creation side, no matter how easy the technology is now, it is still a larger production hurdle to create an audio file versus typing or taking a snapshot. Although I consider myself an avid blogger, I don't feel the impetus to create in these formats.
Perhaps I am thinking of this content type too much in a blog paradigm and not in a news/analysis/entertainment one. Yet because of the limitations above, I am having trouble seeing the kinds of content that would uniquely find this medium best, as opposed to the extremes of purely text or a full audio-video file. While the full audio-video format enabling vblogging posses the same limitations enumerated above, it appears to me to be a much richer experience that transcends these drawbacks for many types of content.
But one person is just one datapoint (especially myself). Obviously there is a lot of enthusiasm surrounding the phenomenon, including blue-chip VC investments. Perhaps over time I'll begin to see it myself; although I am just not there yet.

Inventories, Factor Demand and Capacity Utilization : the Long and Short Run Structure
An ECM is derived from first order conditions of a factor demand model. Decisions on inventory stock and capacity utilization are (endogenously) modelled, by which a large systems of equations results. Within this system the exogeneity of real factor prices as well as sales in tested. The role of inventory stock in the long run, i.e. as a precautionary measure (according to Holt, Modigliani, Muth and Simon (1960) and/or as a production factor (Kydland and Prescott (1982), Christiano (1988) are further investigated by impulse response functions. For French industrial sectors (1970.I-1992.IV) inventory stocks turn out to be both a decision variable as well as a residual. The precautionary measure is not rejected, but a linear-quadratic specification seems not to hold. Further, no strong evidence is found for the inventory stock as a production factor.
