Agencies Adopt Consumer Protection Rules for Insurance
The federal bank and thrift regulatory agencies today announced final consumer protection rules for the sale of insurance products by depository institutions. The final rule published in today's Federal Register implements section 305 of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. As required by the statute, the agencies consulted with the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC).
The rule is effective on April 1, 2001.
The Act directs the agencies to publish rules that apply to retail sales practices, solicitations, advertising or offers of insurance.
The final rule applies to any depository institution or any person selling, soliciting, advertising, or offering insurance products or annuities to a consumer at an office of the institution or on behalf of the institution. The following disclosures are required, except to the extent the disclosure would not be accurate:
These disclosures must be made orally and in writing before the completion of the sale of an insurance product or annuity or, in the case of paragraph (4) above, at the time the consumer applies for an extension of credit. The disclosures may be made electronically if the consumer affirmatively consents provided the consumer can retain or later obtain the disclosures by printing or storing them electronically, such as by downloading. The rule also requires written acknowledgement from the consumer that disclosures were received. Disclosures made electronically can be acknowledged electronically or in paper form by the consumer. The final rule makes additional adjustments for transactions by mail and by telephone.
The location of insurance sales and payment of referral fees is also addressed in the final rule. To the extent practicable, a depository institution must keep insurance and annuity sales activities physically segregated from the areas where retail deposits are routinely accepted from the general public. In addition, bank employees may refer a consumer who seeks to purchase an insurance product or annuity to a qualified salesperson. The referral fee may be no more than a one-time, nominal fee that does not depend on whether the referral results in a transaction.
Persons who sell insurance products or annuities must be qualified and licensed under applicable state insurance licensing standards.

Fast Food Nation Analytical Essays
People might think of fast food as a benign convenience of modern times. The food is good, cheap, plentiful, easily accessible, filling, and the restaurants are clean. What could be wrong? Reading Eric Schlosser's groundbreaking study Fast Food Nation, one learns that just about everything is. Schlosser uncovers a history of corruption, greed, and disregard for the welfare of workers and customers in franchises such as McDonald's, Burger King, and Jack in the Box, to name a few. His study takes on the industry from all angles, uncovering a bloated business empire grown insensitive to anything but the bottom line, and he discusses all of this in an effectively quiet, informative way without overwhelming the reader with forced rhetoric. Since the fast food industry is such an omnipresent force in people's lives, not only in the United States but, increasingly, all across the globe, Schlosser's study is a timely exposé revealing a highly manipulative industry motivated by greed and a Faustian urge for world domination of the market.
The modern history of fast food began in the 1950's in Southern California, the era and place that also produced Disneyland and the nation's first freeways. Obliged to alter their architecture to suit the whim of the automobile driver, owners of early diners and hot dog stands had to find ways to attract customers by using bellhops and flashy neon signs. Frustrated with the extra expenses of easily stolen items such as silverwear and dishes, the brothers Richard and "Mac" McDonald hit upon a way to simplify the whole process of serving burgers by using assembly line techniques, and Ray A. Kroc persuaded the McDonald brothers to allow him to franchise the restaurant across the country. Kroc viewed business with an almost Darwinian ferocity, calling it "rat eat rat, dog eat dog. I'll kill 'em, and I'm going to kill 'em before they kill me." What was once a bewildering array of different companies boiled down to the successful few that survived and spread, and they succeeded largely through marketing and by various aggressive techniques for maximizing profits. McDonald's shared with the Disney company a strategy of appealing to children first, who would then nag their parents into bringing them to the restaurants. Adults would then spend the rest of their lives with a favorable opinion of a restaurant inculcated in them when they lacked any critical ability to distinguish advertisements from regular programming on television.
In the same vein as other important studies of multinational companies, such as Anne Klein's No Logo (2001), Fast Food Nation is very concerned with the effects of marketing. These books seek to deprogram those susceptible to advertising's claims, demystifying logos and brands that have developed a cumulative force over the years. Schlosser focuses specifically on the techniques that McDonald's uses to market Happy Meals to children. Psychologists have determined that children often dream of round-shaped animals, so characters such as Disney creatures, Barney the dinosaur, and those found in McDonaldland(Mayor McCheese, for example) all cater to these dreams. Schlosser unearths confidential documents in which McDonald's executives discuss how all of their advertising should emphasize the corporation as a "trusted friend," even though warnings on the memos against unauthorized use betrays a more paranoid relationship between the company and the customer. Moreover, McDonald's pours so much money into advertising, expanding its franchise across the United States, that its message becomes ubiquitous and increasingly hard to ignore. In an interview, Schlosser says that he associates McDonald's with the Kremlin because of the way the chain consistently refuses to answer his calls and e-mails. Like the Kremlin, they also know how to dispense propaganda to maintain power.
Schlosser also uncovers a long history of purposeful disenfranchisement of workers. The industry relies mainly upon the unskilled labor of teenagers and government kickbacks for "training" these workers in dead-end jobs. To maintain their profits, McDonald's has consistently lobbied to keep the minimum wage low, and they have also made sure that unions cannot survive in a McDonald's, even if they must close down the restaurant and open another down the street. A typical employee retains his or her job for about four months, about the same length of time as those who work in sweatshops. Additionally, there are patterns of theft from restaurants, sometimes involving violent crime, that also threaten the workers. In all, Schlosser paints a picture of a company that exploits the poor and the young because they are more malleable and less likely to unionize.
When he turns to the way firms such as Iowa Beef Packers (IBP) butcher the cattle for hamburger, Schlosser draws upon the journalistic tradition of Upton Sinclair's The Jungle (1906) to describe the gruesomeness of a job that victimizes workers as the company speeds up the production line to maximize profits. The faster the slaughterhouse functions, the more money it makes, but after a certain point, workers are increasingly likely to hurt themselves and others with knives, and also to pollute the meat when they fail to cleanly cut the intestines out of each cow. After the disclosures of The Jungle caused reform in government regulations of the slaughterhouses, meatworkers became fairly skilled and well-paid in such areas as the cattleyards of Chicago. This all changed when competition led some companies to slaughter cattle in the West, with less skilled workers packaging the meat and delivering it directly to the supermarket, thus cutting out any need for a butcher. As companies like IBP sped up production and decreased the skills needed in the production line, workers got harder to find, so they began to recruit illegal aliens and migrant workers. Company doctors downplayed injuries, and the company paid minimal compensation for injuries or deaths. Such cutthroat business practices ultimately have the twofold effect of hurting workers while also poisoning the meat with the cow's own feces, which leads to the outbreak of E. coli bacteria illnesses.
Schlosser often begins a chapter with a panoramic description of a place that emblematizes points in his argument, allowing the reader to make connections between the landscape and his polemic. He consistently returns to Colorado, because the white flight of Californians there give the state its "land of the future" quality. He begins the book with a description of a top-secret combat operations center located underneath the Cheyenne Mountain in Colorado that allows fast food delivery into a zone protected from nuclear strike. In other chapters he describes the crime-ridden urban blight of slaughterhouse towns such as Greeley, Colorado. Colorado works well for Schlosser in two ways: first, because it holds large parts of the fast food agribusiness, and secondly, because recent housing developments show the effects of the expansion of fast food franchises on the prairie landscape.
Sometimes Schlosser will use a portrait of a person to illustrate an argumentative point. He takes care to emphasize the humanity of the CEOs at times, such as the unpretentious potato baron J. R. Simplot, who describes himself as "just an old farmer got some luck." The book's anti-Republican bias (mostly because of their probusiness dislike of industry regulations) is tempered with portraits of independent western businessmen who share the conservative values of free enterprise and self-sufficiency. Schlosser tempers his ideology with their more complex humanity. One rancher named Hank commits suicide in the course of Schlosser's investigation, and Schlosser seems to imply that his suicide was the result of pressures that many ranchers face due to big business expansion, such as increasing land costs, pollution from city water run-off, and low cattle prices. Still, he does not explicitly explain Hank's death in those terms. Some characters come across with a lifelong sense of injustice after working for the industry. One meatworker, Kenny Dobbins, blindly trusted the Monfort company even as he suffered back strain, an ankle injury, lung poisoning, and numerous other injuries, until the company abruptly laid him off without a pension after sixteen years. Elsewhere, a child dies horribly after the E. coli virus melts portions of his brain and destroys his vital organs. Schlosser's impartial account of these personal stories effectively demonstrates the hidden human costs of fast food efficiency and cheapness.
Toward the end of his study, Schlosser examines how fast food has spread to other countries and how it has helped to establish bad eating habits in formerly healthy cultures such as Japan. He looks to Plauen, a city in former East Germany, that initially welcomed Hitler's Nazi party and has now become one of the first German communities to welcome a McDonald's into its midst. The connection between the Nazis and McDonald's may seem strained until one considers how much McDonald's shares with the Nazis a tendency to value technology and efficiency over the welfare of its workers or customers. The mystique of fast food may represent Americanized modernization and prosperity to foreign countries, but meanwhile, their citizens grow fat on an imported diet heavy in grease and sugar.
Political agitators in France and Britain have waged effective political campaigns against fast food. In Britain especially, the McDonald's libel suit against two ordinary Greenpeace workers who dispensed anti-McDonald's flyers at some of the stores backfired when the political activists turned it into an eight-year (and running) public relations offensive. These activists used the libel trial as a public referendum to grill the chain's CEOs and bring in experts to establish exactly how bad the food is and how much destruction is brought upon the environment. McDonald's also showed what kind of "trusted friend" they can be when they sent out spies to infiltrate the Greenpeace organization and attempted to dig up dirt to use against the two activists. As Schlosser notes, "After intimidating British critics for years, the McDonald's Corporation picked on the wrong two people."
After discussing how unhealthy fast food is, its hidden medical costs, and its great capacity to distribute mass amounts of tainted meat to an unsuspecting and largely uninformed populace, Schlosser ends the book with an appeal to the reader to boycott fast food until the industry changes the way it does business. To his credit, he does not harangue the reader to turn vegetarian or lambaste all hamburger chains (he finds several to praise). He points out that in Colorado, vultures and coyotes would eat the carcasses of dead cattle if humans refrained. Schlosser chiefly objects to the greed and complacency of an industry blind to its own destructive effects. As a target for a piece of investigative journalism, fast food companies make great villains. With their size, strength, and lock on popular opinion, they are still subject to the rhetoric of a reporter sticking his nose in the kitchen and noticing a rotten smell.

Schlosser begins by focusing on McDonald's—to many, the symbol of American fast-food culture. McDonald's is, as Schlosser writes, one of the largest companies in America, one of the largest retail property owners, and one of the major buyers of meat, bread, and potatoes. The techniques McDonald's developed to make money from the sale burgers and fries—ideas like the franchising of stores, or the speeding-up of the food assembly process—have swept across the fast-food industry, into Taco Bells, Wendy's, Burger Kings, pizza chains, and every other imaginable type of food.
For Schlosser, McDonald's serves two purposes. It is, on the one hand, a very sensible subject for any treatment of the American food industry, as its buying power is vast, and its franchises are located in all fifty states. But McDonald's, in addition to being an economic force, is itself a potent symbol—of the way Americans eat, and of the new "efficiencies" that have drastically altered our relationship to food.

Yes! Watch the above video!
Real lightsab—sorry, LaserSabers! They're "not affiliated with Lucasfilm or Star Wars," according to the product page, even though they're "harnessing the power of the force." And the music in the video sounds mighty Star Wars-y. And they're just in time for Star Wars Day (May the Fourth be with you).
Also, "no sound effects." And we're warned to "not participate in any form of fencing or swordplay," like the guys in the above video. "Fencing or swordplay will cause serious damage to people, pets or property," being the reason why.
But for $99.95, that's one sweet lightsab—sorry, LaserSaber, even if it's for decoration.
Oh, whoops: "The LaserSaber is interchangeable and will attach to any Spyder 3 model" – is the Spyder 3 included then? Ah: "Spyder 3 sold separately."
But you can get a deal on a Spyder 3 laser if you order the LaserSaber – $289.95, $379.95 or $969.95 depending on the wattage. Plus another $99.95 for the LaserSaber. Oh, and you should only use the LaserSabers while wearing protective LaserShades. Yours for $29.95.
This is starting to sound serious, but there's a reason for that:
Here's how it works, the laser energy that enters the LaserSaber is first diffused by a built-in optical element. Then the diffused laser enters the internal diffuser tube, which distributes the laser's energy evenly along the blade.
Inside the diffuser tube, there is a metal sphere which is suspended permanently inside. This sphere's movement caused by gravity creates the beam grow effects. There is a magnet hidden in the tip of the blade, which causes the ball to magnetically lock in place. The magnetic lock can be disengaged by bumping the S3 laser with sufficient force.
The blade is constructed from a 32″ long, 1/8″ walled polycarbonate tube, made in the USA. The blade is strong and highly durable, however, they should only be operated in a controlled environment by professionals. Unlike lightsaber replicas, LaserSabers are powered by highly powerful and dangerous lasers. User and observers should wear safety goggles at all times.
Just a thought: If these things "are powered by highly powerful and dangerous lasers" and "will cause serious damage to people, pets or property" and "should only be operated in a controlled environment by professionals," why not turn this into a sport?
You'd have to add sound effects, but that'd be trivial. And just call it "fencing" – the sport could use more fans. Something has to be done wherein it becomes okay to swing these things around, because nobody – nobody – will be able to resist the temptation. The safety of people, pets and property hangs in the balance.

Description: Bill Burke, who was honored as a Mastersmith June 2006, is known for creating some of the best chefs knives and hunters that can be found anywhere. His attention to geometry and balance on his chef's knives, not to mention the exceptional edge holding clearly sets him apart. This traditional single bevel yanagi immediately grabbed my attention.
The yanagi is a traditional Japanese knife used to cut boneless fish fillets. It is mainly used for a drawing cut. The heel of the knife is placed on the fish and the knife is lightly pressed down, letting the weight of the knife do the work while drawing the blade toward you. Sashimi knives are also excellent for slicing other boneless meats.
Traditional Japanese chef's knives differ from European styled knives in that they are sharpened with a bevel on only one side. The opposite side is slightly hollowed. Consequently, this right-handed knife can be honed to a sharper edge than can double bevel knives.
Bill began by making Tamahagane (Jewel steel) using a technique developed over 700 years ago in Japan. Magnetite is melted and impurities slowly removed to create a perfect cutting steel. This knife is in the kasumi style, and the Tamhagane is forged to softer antique wrought iron, ensuring strength and durability. Both the antique wrought iron and the tamahagane have damascene lines moving through the steel.
The traditional octagonal handle is formed from presentation grade Australian lacewood. A copper spacer and end cap bring out warmth in the wood. Black G10 spacers assist the handle to adjust to temperature and humidity changes.
Exceptional work throughout!

To Christians, Hell is a fiery place where sinners go to burn for eternity when they die.
But check out these wild ideas other religions have about what happens to bad folks:
Souls get to be reincarnated but first must take a trip to one of 21 different versions of Hell to work off their bad karma.
Some of the possible tortures include getting cooked in a jar or having their eyes eaten by crows. After their punishment is complete, the souls are reborn on Earth as either a human or an animal.

A Well overdue dinner party
My entrée for dinner was a mushroom, spinach & goats cheese tart. I love tarts & would eat them every day if the pastry & cheese, etc wasn't so bad for my cholesterol. This pastry recipe actually cooked a bit quickly so ended up a bit on the very dark brown side (though not burnt) & so was a bit crumbly, a little disappointing but not a complete failure. The filling was delicious & right now I am wishing I made a double batch for leftovers but looks like it's toast for lunch again!
I was very happy with everything & cant wait to invite my next lot of guinea pigs over for some more feasting.

Good for you! Long live the dinner party! I don't have kids, but I also don't have the time any more to do dinner parties the way I'd really like, but I hate the idea of not having people come together for food just because life can get trying. It's just about modifying the way you entertain. I try to find a television show my friends all enjoy and don't serve at the table. Everyone can get comfortable in the living room and I bring the food out as it's done.
Since I have an open kitchen, if the food is still cooking when the show starts, I still get to watch. I limit it to cocktails, one appetizer and a main course, leaving dessert in the hands of the guests. Usually works pretty well and not as much of a hassle to get accomplished. Keep it up! - Gary

Queen Elizabeth II to resume her royal duties next week after recovering from stomach illness
LONDON – Buckingham Palace officials say Queen Elizabeth II will resume her royal duties next week after a brief illness.
Officials said Friday the queen and her husband Prince Philip plan to attend a Westminster Abbey service Monday to mark Commonwealth Day with another event scheduled later in the week.
The 86-year-old monarch was hospitalized overnight on Sunday for treatment of gastroenteritis. It was her first hospitalization in a decade.
Officials said the queen's overall health remains good and she is not cutting back on her activities, although taxing overseas travel has been reduced.
The 91-year-old Philip has been treated for heart disease in recent years. He has said he plans to attend fewer events and to scale back his charity events.

If the kids are bouncing off the walls at home, it's just a short hop to the Trampoline Place in Plainfield, where, as owner Bill Young puts it, "the joint is always jumping." Even in this up-and-down economy, the business of bounce has been steady for Young whose 6,800-square-foot facility opened in 1997.
The Trampoline Place, which has 10 elevated trampolines, is open to everyone. Generally, visitors pay by the session ($10) which usually run about 90 minutes to two hours. Young offers plenty of classes for beginners and also works with some of the area?s top competitors. "It's sort of a forgotten art form," Young said. "Most people love it at first bounce. Once you start doing it, you start to learn that there are things you can do on the trampoline and you can learn about your body as it flies through time and space."
The coiled spring and polypropylene string trampolines promise high-flying adventure -- single flips, double flips, and triples with a twist can be learned. Spotters and safety belts are always within reach. Steve Kuchta, is a PhD candidate at UConn teaching Micro Economics, spends his spare time at the Trampoline Place defying physics. "There is always a progression, if there is a trick you want to learn, there is a way to get there, so you can spend your whole day learning a trick and building to the next one," Kuchta said.
Rebecca Douglas, from Canterbury, is no longer on the sidelines -- she's taken the leap with her family, "Bring your shorts and your t-shirts and join in with your kids," she said. Young added, "you feel free and man has always had a quest to fly -- this is one of the answers."
The Trampoline Place is located at 275 Putnam Road in Plainfield. Call ahead to reserve time or to find out about lessons. Groups are encouraged. For more information call 860-779-7999 or go to www.trampolineplace.com.

Taylor Swift Doesn't Recommend Subbing Sharpie for Eyeliner
Stylish women can get creative in a pinch when they don't have eyeliner and need it. Some have even tried using substitutes like Sharpie markers in situations when the real thing isn't available. Country sweetheart Taylor Swift does not condone or endorse such behavior, even though she admits to having done it!
"I once used a Sharpie as eyeliner in an airplane bathroom because I didn't have any with me," the singer spilled to fashion and beauty site Refinery 29. "I don't recommend it."
Neither do we! Necessity may be the mother of invention in this case, but Swift — who just shared that she has big news on the way shortly — realized the error of her ways, since putting a permanent marker near the eyes can be dangerous.
Swift also acknowledged that she loves her red lips and cat-eye liner, which have become her signature looks, saying, "That's been my go-to for a few years now."
The 'Mean' singer revealed that when she let Vogue editors cut bangs into her hair for her cover issue, it turned out to be one of her favorite changes to her hair, which is another of her style hallmarks. Bangs are a big deal for girls with curly cues, but Swift was game to try something new. "Moral of the story: Always trust Vogue," she said, proving that she was more than pleased with the result.
Lately, the 'Safe & Sound' singer admits she's been fashioning her coif in a smooth-on-top, loose-curl-at-the-bottom style, complete with some sort of headband or scarf.
As for her "off-duty" style influences? She credits old-fashioned photos of modern classic women — like Ethel and Jackie Kennedy — from the '50s and '60s with inspiring her. "Something about that elegance is really lovely and makes me want to dress more like they did," Swift says. "I'd never thought about wearing pearl earrings or head scarves before [being inspired by] them."

Former Georgetown Mayor Brian Pettyjohn announced Monday that he is running for State Senate in District 19 as a write-in candidate.
Former Georgetown Mayor Brian Pettyjohn announced Monday that he is running for State Senate in District 19 as a write-in candidate.
Pettyjohn, a Republican who opted not to run for a second term as mayor this spring, posted a notice on his Facebook that he filed as a write-in candidate on the last day possible. The filing means votes cast for him on Nov. 6 will be tallied in their own column, separate from other write-in votes, election officials said.
Pettyjohn, a 38-year-old telecommunications manager for Mountaire Farms in Millsboro, is joining a race between 62-year-old political activist and Democrat Jane Hovington and Republican Eric Bodenweiser, a 53-year-old retired businessman, who upset incumbent Republican Joe Booth in the Sept. 11 primary.
"The voters of the 19th District deserve a true choice for representation in the [state] Senate," Pettyjohn said in the announcement letter posted on his Facebook page. "By declaring today, the voters have that choice, and I will do my best to see that our message reaches every resident of the district."
Pettyjohn could not be reached for comment prior to deadline.
A graduate of Sussex Central High School and the University of Delaware, he served on the Georgetown Town Council from 2008 to 2010 and before serving two years as the town's mayor.
He currently serves on the board of directors for the Chad Spicer Foundation, as well as Children and Families First. He also has been a member of the Georgetown Chamber of Commerce, the Delaware League of Local Governments and the Sussex County Association of Towns, where he served as vice president.

Markham's Sewer Use By-law regulates discharges into the sanitary and storm sewer system with defined limits for substances such as pH, oil and grease, suspended solids, etc.
Markham's Sewer Use By-law is to protect sewer systems, streams, and lakes. The by-law also establishes limits on the discharge of substances that may impact the safe operation of Markham's sewers, adversely affect public health, property or the environment.
Markham's Waterworks Department ensures compliance by monitoring and sampling discharges into Markham's sewers. The by-law applies to all discharges, including residential, industrial, commercial as well as institutional properties.
In 2010, Markham's Sewer Use Compliance Program was established under the Sewer Use By-law, focusing on industrial and commercial discharges into the sewer system.
The Sewer Use Compliance Program covers:
Waterworks staff sample and test industrial and commercial discharges. If a test result exceeds the by-law limits, the liable party will receive a violation notice from the City. Markham's notice requires the liable party to take the corrective actions within a specified timeframe. Repeat violators may be charged. Any by-law violation that causes damage to the sewer system will be investigated and repaired with costs fully recovered from the responsible parties.
Controlling the pH level in your sewage is crucial. If waste with a pH level outside the 6 - 10.5 range is released into sewer, it can quickly cause significant damage and/or blockages to Markham's sewer system.
Fats, oil and grease build up in sewers and cause significant blockage over time. Sewer blockages will create sewer backup in homes. Proper disposal of fats, oil and grease from your property is essential.
Businesses within Markham, having sewage discharges not in compliance with the by-law, may be required to make major changes to their facilities and production processes, to come into compliance. These businesses can apply for the Compliance Program. The Compliance Program provides businesses with a reasonable timeframe to implement all required corrective actions. Under the Compliance Program with certain conditions and timeframes, businesses will be temporarily allowed to discharge their sewage not complying with the by-law.
Markham has a joint Sewer Use Compliance Program with York Region to cover some sewage substances exceeding the by-law limits; namely:
The Surcharge Agreement could allow the businesses to discharge highly concentrated sewage into Markham's and York Region's sanitary sewer system. The Surcharge Agreement is currently managed by York Region.
Businesses within Markham may be allowed to enter into a surcharge agreement with York Region for these substances listed above. However, the surcharge agreement only applies to 5 substances and not for other substances.
Please check York Region - "Sewer Use Permits" website for their application and fees related to Surcharge Agreement.
If you need to temporarily discharge groundwater or surface water into Markham's sanitary or storm sewer system, you must submit an application and get approval from the City. This temporary water discharge could come from activities such as: extracting groundwater at construction sites, empting tank, cleaning pond, etc.
In some cases, you may need to obtain additional approval from York Region because Markham's sewer system is integrated with York Region's sewer system. Markham staff will advise you when the additional approval is required.
Markham's residents and businesses within Markham not served by the City's sewer system, may take their hauled wastewater to a wastewater facility designated by York Region.
Please check York Region - "Sewer Use Permits" website for their requirements.
Inquiries or applications can be emailed to Compliance Engineer at email@example.com or call 905-477-7000 extension 2687.

"Vintage Retro" is acceptable given the modern meanings of "Vintage" as: "classic", "old", "outdated" and so forth. "Hand-blown" is acceptable when it refers to items that were not "machine blown". But a "Hand-blown" solid glass paperweight is not ... unless it is one that has has a label saying "Hand-blown Glass" (such labels do exist).

A young couple moves into a new neighborhood. The next morning while they are eating breakfast, the young woman sees her neighbor hanging the wash outside. "That laundry is not very clean; she doesn't know how to wash correctly. Perhaps she needs better laundry soap." Her husband looks on, remaining silent. Every time her neighbor hangs her wash to dry, the young woman makes the same comments. A month later, the woman is surprised to see a nice clean wash on the line and says to her husband: "Look, she's finally learned how to wash correctly. I wonder who taught her this? " The husband replies, "I got up early this morning and cleaned our windows." And so it is with life... What we see when watching others depends on the clarity of the window through which we look.

Personnel Complaints
Professional Standards Unit (PSU)
The Professional Standards Unit (PSU) of the Frisco Police Department is dedicated to the belief that a law enforcement agency must first monitor its own before it can provide protection for the public. This is done by conducting internal investigations on all complaints of misconduct against any member of the Frisco Police Department.
The objectives of the Professional Standards Unit include the protection of the public, the department, and the employee. Additionally, PSU manages policy and procedure updates as well as training recommendations.
Personnel Complaints
Personnel complaints alleging misconduct of sworn members will not be accepted more than 30 days after the alleged incident. Exceptions to this rule include: (1) When the complaint involves a criminal violation, in which case the criminal statute of limitations will determine the time limit; (2) When the complainant can show good cause for not making the complaint within the specified time limit; and (3) The Chief of Police shall have the discretion to investigate or order an investigation of any complaint when necessary to preserve the integrity of the department, regardless of the time reported.
Types of Complaints
There are two types of complaints that may be made against members of the police department:
Informal Complaints: Informal complaints typically involve employee behavior, such as rudeness, offensive language, or procedural errors. These complaints are usually investigated by the immediate supervisor. Informal complaints may be made in person, by telephone, or by letter.
Formal Complaints: Formal complaints typically involve more serious alleged acts, such as criminal behavior or other serious allegations of misconduct. These complaints must be reduced to writing (as required by the State Legislature) with a notarized signature from the complainant.
The Complaint Process
You may call 972.292.6010 or come to the police department at any time and ask to speak with an on-duty supervisor. The supervisor may be able to quickly resolve your concerns. If not, the supervisor will assist you through the process of filing your complaint so that a more formal review of the complaint can occur.
The supervisor will prepare a written explanation of your grievance and collect any related documents or statements. The supervisor will then forward the complaint--through the chain of command--to Police Administration. After a detailed review, the complaint will then be assigned to be fully investigated.
The Investigation Process
Once the complaint has been assigned to an internal investigator, several actions will commence. The investigator will interview all significant witnesses and subjects involved in the complaint. The investigator will review all available documents, audio, and video recordings related to the complaint, as well as any other pertinent available information.
Several investigational techniques are available to be utilized by the investigator including the use of a polygraph. In most circumstances, no employee will be required to take a polygraph examination until the person making the complaint has taken and passed his or her test.
Internal investigations regarding employee complaints are taken very seriously and will be completed in a timely manner. There are many variables involved specific to each complaint; therefore, an estimate of when the investigation will be concluded and the complaint resolved is difficult to predict.
Once the complaint has been fully investigated, the findings are summarized into a report. The report is then forwarded to the Chief of Police for review and a final disposition.
If an allegation is sustained, the person making the complaint will be informed by a letter from the Chief of Police. The letter will include the investigations findings and the subsequent appropriate action that was taken if applicable.
All complaints and resulting investigative findings are confidential. City policy and rules regulate access to sensitive information.
Complaint Dispositions
The final disposition of each allegation in the complaint will be classified in one of the following ways:
Sustained: The allegation is substantiated;
Unfounded: The allegation is false or not factual;
Exonerated: The incident occurred but the member acted lawfully and properly;
Not sustained: The allegation is not substantiated and there is not sufficient evidence to prove or disprove the allegation.
Other Information
The Professional Standards Unit does not accept complaints in regard to the guilt or innocence of defendants in traffic ticket cases and/or criminal offenses. Those matters are reserved to the judgment of the proper judicial court for adjudication.
Citizens should be aware that making a false complaint is a violation of the Texas Penal Code. We would not and cannot bring charges against a person who has acted in good faith.For more information, you may download a copy of the PSU Brochure or view the most recent Annual Professional Standards Complaint Summary

Midfielder Dusty Shandy scored the first goal of the season for Lipscomb's Lady Bisons soccer team, but it wasn't enough.
The Lady Bisons fell 6-1 Friday night at Valparaiso University in Valparaiso, Ind. Shandy's shot was the only one taken by the Lady Bisons. Valpo recorded 38 shots, 21 shots on goal.
Bethany Copeland made her second consecutive start for the Lady Bisons who fell to 0-3 for the season. Copeland recorded 15 saves in the game.
Valpo never trailed, taking the lead with forward Brittany Derksen's first goal of the game at 4:43 on a breakaway. Derksen would score two more times in the second half, at 58:37 on a cross from the right side and at 65:25 on a header off of a long pass. Her hat trick, three goals in the same game, was only the third in Valpo women's soccer history.
Forward Kendall Brown scored on a cross from the right for the first of two goals in the game at 16:32 of the first half to give Valpo a 2-0 advantage.
The Lady Bisons cut the lead to 2-1 on a penalty kick by Sandy at 23:27. The penalty was called when a Lady Bisons player knocked down in the penalty area.
Valpo outshot Lipscomb 14-1 in the first half.
In the second half, Brown scored her second goal at 45:52 with an unassisted shot from 15 yards away from the goal.
In addition to Derksen's two second half goals, midfielder Emily King scored for Valpo at 63:02.
In the second half Valpo held a 24-0 shooting advantage.
Valpo also led in corner kicks with 14, 10 in the second half, to one by the Lady Bisons.
Erin Murray played the first half in goal for Valpo. Danielle Guerra played the second half.
The six goals scored by Valpo were the second most ever in school history.
Valpo SID Ryan Wronkowicz provided details for this story.

Ron Sillman has a post which I'm sure you've all seen by now about Conceptual Poetics and Flarf. I'm very good at making connections, and very bad at distinguishing points of contrast, but I do think that Ron's (somewhat lighthearted, I think) suggestion that Flarf is to projective verse as conceptual poetry is to the New York School isn't bad. Although tonally I associate recent Conceptual work more with big Olsonian epics and Flarf with a casual, energetic line and a way of recording daily or seemingly unimportant information in a Frank O'Hara kind of way.
I was also thinking about the footnote to Ron's post:
"From my perspective the great "tragedy" of langpo is that there were no other seriously contesting approaches to poetry. Actualism, which I've written about before, dissipated after the death-by-alcoholism of Darrell Gray, and the NY School, gen 3, was never interested in working out its relationship to other poetics, period. Everyone else was pursuing the isolate mode of individualism, still the most popular (and futile) option."
I think of New Narrative in San Francisco and 3rd generation New York School as being the other serious contesting approaches to poetry relative to langpo. But it's true that I can't think of any particular poetics statements. But it's also true that there's a lot I haven't read. Can anyone think of/point me towards something (and by something I mean a piece of writing) that might be an articulated poetics from either group?

I'm sure there has to be some new narrative statements, although I can't think of any off the top of my head. Maybe in an old issue of Soup?
Tangentially related to the parsing out into one of two camps idea, and speaking of new narrative, Steve Abbott's The Lizard Club has a really funny graph in one section where he parses out various writers into "light" or "dark" ... and I think it was maybe more specific than that, like "light" or "dark" _hippies_?
So, like, Richard Brautigan is light, and Jack Spicer is dark.
No, wait, not hippies. But something, though. Shoot. Maybe just light and dark? Although I remember it being more specific than that.
I obviously don't have this book anymore.
Do you have it? Please look this up, if so!
- Joseph said...
Well there's this, though it's after the fact. Might have some leads.
I seem to recall having a book written in the 80s about New Narrative; can't remember the name or who it was by. It's in storage right now.

Hi Lorraine and All,
Just back from the Orono conference, where the uneasy New Narrative/Langpo relationship came up in a few different venues. Eileen Myles, in a plenary session (still not sure what that means) with Dodie Bellamy and Kevin Killian, offered some reasons for why New Narrative decided to be narrative, not poetry, and sort of leave the poetics to the Lang Pos. The feeling was I think that experimental poetry had hit a wall and only narrative, tweaked and reconceived, could reach where they wanted to go. (Robin Tremblay-McGaw's paper said some of this too, and Rob Halpern, and I might be conflating some here--there's a lot going on at once at Orono.)
Also, though I'm sure you'll find some good poetics-type statements about New Narrative, I came away from the conference with the sense (even from the way the papers were delivered) that part of the point of New Narrative was a refusal to do poetics IN THAT WAY. Engaging with ideas about the New Sentence was also a way of valorizing it, or reproducing the politics which they wanted to sidestep. Not "competing" is also a form of engagement, and to read the moment--this was probably my big "takeaway" from the conference--means to learn to read the silence.
Sorry for the long post. I'm glad you're bringing this up, Lorraine. That footnote struck me, too.
- K. Lorraine Graham said...
Gary--yes, a friend is getting copies of old back issues of Soup right now as I type. And I'll have to check out Lizard Club.
Joseph--I'd forgotten about that Gluck piece in Narrativity, so thanks for pointing me to it.
Rodney--I've heard the poetics of New Narrative (and 3rd Generation New York School, now that I think of it) described that way--as partly a refusal to do poetics in the way that various Language Poets were, so I think that's part of what Ron means. But there was so much interaction and cross-polination between all three of these groups that it strikes me as deeply odd to not think of NN and 3rd Gen NYS as being viable poetics options, even if they weren't writing poetics, per se.
- Robin said...
Bob Gluck's Long Note on New Narrative was first published, I believe, in 1981 and then reprinted later in Narrativity and then in Biting the Error. Certainly, New Narrative and Langpo were fellow travellers in the SF Bay Area in the Seventies and Eighties, a time of generative and also aggressive contention as the Historical Communities Panel at the SPT Aggression Conference delineated. The New Narrative--New Sentence--New Left Panel at Orono that Rodney writes of covered a lot of this territory--illustrating the complex and embedded relation of the work of these writers, all of whom were deeply committed to a writing that was socially engaged though what that meant and what forms it took were disparate. It seems to me that these writers (I mean NN & Langpo) also found that contemporary poetic methods and forms were insufficient for attempting social engagement. Many of them turned away from "verse" to writing strategies that look like prose and that make use of devices like the new sentence and new narrative.
Also as Rodney mentions--it is important to read the silences. New Narrative writers never were as "professional" as the langpo writers. While they wrote numerous articles that appeared in journals like Poetics Journal, they weren't then putting together anthologies and editing journals the way the langpo folks were. New Narrative writers were conducting poetry workshops at SPT and the like. But, it is also true that scholars like Jameson who have written about Langpo have also erased the rich context in which langpo texts were being written. Soup, as Rob Halpern discussed at SPT and Orono was a critical journal in which some of the NN and Langpo people appeared alongside of one another.
Anyway, that's all for now. So much to say about all of this.

Athletes Continue Closing in on IC4A Standards
HANOVER, N.H. – As the season continues to gain momentum, the Bulldogs are showing more of their strength, especially in the middle sprints and distance events. The team competed against fellow Ivy League schools Dartmouth and Columbia in the annual tri-meet on Saturday and placed second after Dartmouth with 64.5 points.
In the field events, senior Reynolds Holmes dominated the long jump again this week with an IC4A-qualifying mark of 7.08m. Junior David Smith also won the shot put with a throw of 14.75m. Freshman Mike Levine continued his streak of breaking PRs with another personal best of 16.79m on in the weight throw, placing second. Freshman Tommy Winger had a breakout performance with his win in the triple jump (13.09m), with sophomore Yifan Chen placed second (12.87m). Senior Eric DePalo, returning from a long hiatus from the pole vault, placed fourth in the event.
Senior Ted Galligan returned to his specialty this weekend, the 60-meter hurdles, and barely placed second (8.6 seconds), only a hundredth of a second behind the Big Green's Ted Lesher. In the finals of the 60-meter dash, Holmes took third (7.11 seconds) and junior Nathan Molina took fifth (7.27 seconds).
As expected, the Bulldogs swept the middle sprints. J unior Marty Evans and senior David Soiles went 1-2 in the 400-meter dash, respectively. Evans finished almost two seconds ahead of the pack in 49.92 seconds. Senior Remi Ray also swept the 500-meter dash in 1:05.27, a mere seven-hundredths of a second off of qualifying for the IC4As. Evans continued his domination with another win in the 200-meter dash (22.31 seconds). With their talented group of middle sprints runners, the Bulldogs took first in the 4x400-meter relay in 3:19.79, the second time that they have ran an IC4A-qualifying standard this indoor season.
For many of the distance runners, the tri-meet was their first competition of the season, yet the Bulldogs saw excellent performances from both seasoned upperclassmen and new freshmen. In an exciting finish in the mile, senior Kevin Brown claimed second place (4:18.51), followed closely by the Big Green's Brad Kenemer (4:18.67) and senior Max Brown (4:18.71). Both seniors were only four seconds shy of the IC4A-qualifying time. Freshman Chris Ramsey claimed his second win of the season with a time of 1.55.83 in the 800-meter run. Junior Max Walden also took second in the 3,000-meter run, followed by fifth-place and seventh-place finishes from freshmen Demetri Goutos and Matthew Thwaites. Senior Chris Labosky, a standout runner in the 800-meter run, tested out his endurance in the 1,000-meter run and placed fifth (2:31.07). The 4x800 meter relay team came in second after the Lions.
The Bulldogs are certainly becoming a formidable force in the middle sprints and will work to dominate other events as well. Their next meet is the Boston University Terrier Invitational in Boston, Mass., on Jan. 30.

#investment #property #management #software, #super #& #funds
Software sums it up
Tools ain't tools when it comes to complying with superannuation law.
Dismal superannuation returns and a renewed focus on costs have pushed more investors to start their own self-managed super funds, but technology is not keeping pace.
The complexity of the super system and onerous reporting requirements force all but the most diehard DIY investors to pay accountants, financial planners, auditors and fund administration services for help.
While people may feel they can do a better job of managing their investments than the professionals, they often lack the portfolio-management software and accounting tools to do so cheaply and effectively.
That leaves a big gap in the market between the tooled-up professionals and motivated individuals wrestling with spreadsheets in their home office.
One new market entrant is trying to break the stranglehold of high-fee-charging professionals with a free cloud-based, crowd-sourced portfolio-management service aimed squarely at individuals managing their own super.
While internet-based solutions are making inroads, the head of the Australian Investors Association's IT committee, Graeme Bottrill, says most of the association's members still use spreadsheets.
"I give my accountant an Excel spreadsheet, with revenue, expenses, asset registers for shares, bonds [and] fixed interest all grouped, purchases and sales. I've not found another piece of commercial software that does what I want to do," he says.

"You can pay $1000 to about $7000 to service providers to do it for you. It's not about cost for me – I like doing it myself."
Investors without the skills to develop their own bespoke software are forced to take a patchwork approach. Share investors can track and manage their portfolio using free trading platforms offered by online brokers, such as CommSec and E*Trade.
You can buy portfolio-management software, but most is not designed for self-managed funds and few can handle multiple asset classes. In the shares camp, MAUS Stockmarket Plus ($299) handles shares, options, warrants, managed funds and contracts for difference.
Grant Abbott, of SMSF Strategies, says portfolio-tracking software is helpful, especially in the light of new regulations requiring self-managed funds to have all investments at market value when starting a pension.
Abbott, who is primarily a property investor, says most of the software that tracks property portfolios has to be paid for. He uses realestate.investar.com.au at a cost of $249 a month.
Self-managed funds need to manage pensions and tax and track assets in multiple accounts with taxable and non-taxable revenue. Often there is more than one member, and each person may have separate accumulation and pension accounts that are taxed differently.
"There's a large gap in the market for people who want to do it all themselves," the managing director of accounting-software group BGL Australia, Ron Lesh, says. BGL provides accounting software for 75 per cent of Australia's self-managed super funds, including more than 1000 individual trustees. Lesh says the typical customer is a former accountant or engineer.
Using BGL's Simple Fund package, trustees can produce a paper tax return with everything calculated for them. The product costs $649 in the first year, which includes training and support, and $431 in subsequent years. All that's left to pay for is an audit. Simple Ledger ($275) is designed for people with investments outside super.
Both of these products feature double-entry accounting and can handle shares, property, fixed interest and other investments.
Another provider of accounting software, OneVue, offers its professional portfolio-management platform to individuals through intermediaries, including the Australian Medical Association and the Australian SMSF Members Association.
Between these high-end products and the likes of CommSec, there is a lot of blue sky for entrepreneurs with low-cost portfolio-management solutions for committed investors.
Cloud pleaser
A new kid on the block, Mclowd.com . has launched a free portfolio-management service based on the Google business model. Founder Ashley Porter says he is able to offer the service free, thanks to a combination of cloud technology and crowd sourcing.
Mclowd.com allows self-managed super funds to manage all their investments, liabilities, income and expenses. It will also generate year-end reports for accountants and tax compliance.
The site was given a soft launch two months ago to get feedback from users and aims to be fully functional early next year with the ability to handle multi-member funds. Until then, Porter says a single-member fund with a basic asset profile could start using the service today.
"Cloud computing has changed the rules of the game," Porter says. "We can put our software in the cloud and give it away for free because it costs us nothing."
The site also includes a directory of accountants and other service providers that pay for listing. Because the service is internet-based, rates are typically well below those charged by financial services firms with office space in metropolitan areas.
"In the past, you put an ad in the paper and hired someone to get a job done," Porter says. "In the future, work will be distributed around the world based on the lowest cost. This is already very common in IT but not in financial services.
"We are disaggregating the marketplace using a free accounting platform alongside a crowd-sourced services marketplace."

East Rockaway resident Ethel Gilloon has been elected Lt. Governor for the Long Island Southwest Division of Kiwanis for 2012-2013 year. She will be working with nine clubs.
Kiwanis is a global organization of volunteers. Gilloon has been with the East Rockaway Kiwanis Club for 15 years, and was named its Kiwanian of the Year in 2010.
Kiwanis sponsors Key Clubs for the high school, Builders Club for junior high and K Kids for grammar school children. These clubs all do age-appropriate community service, and all the clubs work to send handicapped children, military families children and needy children to a camp that Kiwanis runs in upstate New York. Kiwanians also cook dinners at Ronald McDonald House, collect food for the needy, raise money for local organizations such as the fire departments, nonprofits in need, and veterans, and collect items for disaster relief. They also award scholarships to graduating seniors.
"I am looking forward to a year of service to the clubs and the people in our communities, making the world a little bit better, however I can," said Gilloon.

'Thought for the Day' with Akhandadhi Das
I always think that my old friend Akhandadhi does a very good job on the BBC Radio 4 slot 'Thought for the Day.' It's only 2 minutes and 43 seconds but it can be very tricky to say what you want to say in that time. And then there's the difficulty of getting to the BBC studio by 7.30 in the morning. But there's around 4 million people listening so its worth it. Akhandadhi has recently done a piece on Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, and here is his piece this morning, about vegetarianism. Try rolling forward to 1:48 and you'll catch it around there:

Hi! I'm new here and new to bento-making -- though not new to the idea of bento and the love of the charaben's cuteness. Like a lot of people, I am sure, I became interested in them after watching anime.
I will be making bento for myself and my fiance. Unfortunately for both of us, I have food intolerances -- anything dairy or dairy-derived and possibly gluten -- and don't eat meat, so our bentos will be on the vegan and possible gluten-free side of things. I'm interested in bento as a way to make sure I know exactly what is in our food. This way I can avoid trouble, you see? (:
Plus, I like making them for him, and I enjoy making them for myself! It works out all around.
Other than this, I'm in nursing for my job and I am learning how to garden, also. I am pagan, I like tea, and I like to knit. I hope to enjoy this website and have many uses for it!
if that which you seek you find not within -- you will never find it without.
Hello zombi!
I hope you will find these forums just as useful for your vegan and possible wheat allergy or coeliac disease requirements as Maki's justbento recipes.
Bentoing seems a very sound and sensible course of action and it sounds to me that, despite the intolerances, you already know how to make food fun.

(CNN) -- Crisis club Racing Santander has been thrown out of next season's Copa del Rey after its players staged a bizarre on-pitch boycott of a quarterfinal tie against Real Sociedad.
The protest Thursday saw Racing players link arms on the center circle and refuse to play the second leg.
They needed to pull back a two-goal deficit to earn a last four clash with Catalan giants Barcelona, but months of frustration over unpaid wages boiled over.
The match was quickly abandoned but the Spanish football federation (RFEF) reacted Friday by imposing the penalty and a fine of €3,000 ($4050) on the stricken Cantabrian club.
A statement on the federation's official website said its competitions committee had awarded the tie to Basque side Real Sociedad, who had led 3-1 from their home leg.

"The non-appearing club will not be able to participate in the next edition of the Copa del Rey," it read.
The Racing players, who were applauded by their home fans in the El Sardinero, had warned before the match that they would take action unless club president Angel Lavin and his board resigned.
Substitutes and staff -- including coach Paco Fernandez -- who has reportedly not been paid for sixth months -- performed the same gesture of defiance on the touchline before the referee Gil Manzano called a halt to the proceedings after less than a minute.
Fernandez told a post-match press conference that he was proud of his players for the stance they had taken and the support they had received.
"We feel touched. We regret having to make this decision but we have done it out of respect to football, the sport that we love, and to ourselves," he said.
"I want to thank my players for their bravery. Today was the biggest game of our lives and we have done it for our dignity. Without the fans' support, today's decision would have been very difficult to take."

Racing had reached the quarterfinals of the Copa del Rey after upset victories over La Liga top-flight sides Sevilla and Almeria, despite languishing in Spain's third division.
The majority of the club's 101-year history has been spent in the top division of La Liga themselves with a sixth-placed finish as recently as 2008.
But plagued by debt, Racing suffered two straight relegations as well as entering administration.

An excerpt from John Main OSB, "Death and Resurrection," MOMENT OF CHRIST (New York: Continuum, 1998), pp. 68-69.
[T]he whole Christian tradition tells us is that if we would become wise we must learn the lesson that we have here "no abiding city." [We must hear] what the wise of ages past and present say to us: to have life in focus we must have death in [focus. . .].
Talking about death is hard for the worldly to understand. Indeed the principal fantasy of much worldliness operates out of completely the opposite point of view: not the wisdom of our own mortality but the pure fantasy that we are immortal, beyond physical weakness. [… ]
Meditation is a way of power because it is the way to understand our own mortality. It is the way to get our own death into focus. It can do so because it is the way beyond our own mortality. It is the way beyond our own death to the resurrection, to a new and eternal life, the life that arises from our union with God.
The essence of the Christian gospel is that we are invited to this experience now, today. All of us are invited to die to our own self-importance, our own selfishness, our own limitations. We are invited to die to our own exclusiveness. . . Our invitation to die is also one to rise to new life, to community, to communion, to a full life without fear. I suppose it would be difficult to estimate what it is people fear most—death or resurrection. But in meditation we lose our fear because we realize death is death to fear and resurrection is rising to new life.
Every time we sit down to meditation we enter this axis of death and resurrection. We do so because in our meditation we go beyond our own life and all the limitations of our life into the mystery of God. We discover, each of us from our own experience, that the mystery of God is the mystery of love, infinite love—love that casts our all fear.
After meditation: from St. Augustine, Sermons, noted in THE ROOTS OF CHRISTIAN MYSTICISM, Olivier Clement (London: New City, 1995), p. 249
Fear is a suffering that oppresses us. But look at the immensity of love.

All News Releases By Date
EPA Awards $200,000 to Inter-Tribal Council of Arizona for Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention
Release Date: 01/08/2010
Contact Information: Margot Perez-Sullivan, 415.947.4149, firstname.lastname@example.com
PHOENIX- EPA Administrator Lisa P. Jackson today awarded $200,000 to the Inter-Tribal Council of Arizona to fund childhood lead poisoning prevention campaigns for 20 tribes in Arizona.
Young children are particularly susceptible to lead poisoning since they are more likely to ingest lead paint chips, flakes, or dust and are more sensitive to the adverse health effects of lead. Elevated lead levels in young children can trigger learning disabilities, decreased growth, hyperactivity, impaired hearing, and brain damage. Lead can be found in a number of places inside and outside the home. For example, lead can be found in household dust from deteriorating lead-based paint or from soil tracked into the house. It can also be found in drinking water coming from old lead pipes, fixtures and solder.
"Childhood lead poisoning is easily preventable with the right information and awareness. This grant will help Arizona tribal communities raise awareness about preventing lead's adverse health effects," said Administrator Jackson. "This project is an important example of the efforts happening across the country to protect our children from a major health threat."
The Inter-Tribal Council of Arizona is developing culturally specific outreach materials to educate tribal families, especially parents of young children, and tribal staff on the health risks to children from exposure to lead-based paint. The program specifically reaches out to facility maintenance personnel to stress the importance of using lead-safe work practices when renovating buildings.
The use of lead-based paint in U.S. residential housing was banned in 1978. Approximately 75 percent of the U.S. housing stock built before 1978, or 64 million homes, contain some lead-based paint.

San Diego, CA - Lawmakers in California are considering a first-in-the-nation measure that would require universities that receive public funds for student financial assistance to set a standard defining consensual sex.
Legislation passed by California's state Senate in May and coming before the Assembly this month would require schools to set a so-called "affirmative consent standard" that could be used in investigating sexual assault allegations.
Several state legislatures, including Texas, have introduced bills to push colleges to do more after a White House task force reported that one in five female college students is a victim of sexual assault. But no state legislation has gone as far as California's bill in requiring a consent standard.
Critics say the state is overstepping its bounds, and some fear navigating the murky waters of consent spells trouble for universities.

Hi Brother Tim,
I have been working with 4.0 RC and it is great. I do have a thought, although it is more of an aesthetic thing than function, but just thought I would bring it up.
When using TSKe as in the reference pane, it would be nice to be able to turn off the TSKe from the commentary pane.
Just a thought.

Unconventional Ways To Wear A Scarf
Check out how Miroslava Duma, Jessica Hart and Taylor Tomasi Hill do it to get inspired on new ways to wear your old scarf.
We'll call this one 'modern babuschka' - Take an oversized silk square folded in half, place the edge at the crown of your head and tie a loose knot to side of your chin, Duma-style.
For the rock and roll rebel, take a cue from Kate Moss and toss a long, thin, studded version around your neck and knot it once at your breastbone.
Feeling like you need to go all Bridget Bardot with this? Wear a sheer chiffon version as a head kerchief. You can use a triangular or small square (about 12 inches). Grab the corners of the longest end, place the long end about an inch above your hairline and bring the corners down alongside the frame of your face, knotting tightly at the nape of your neck.
Photo:Gigi Iorio / Splash News
Another one borrowed from the boys (Boy Scouts that is) - Jessica Hart took an oversized, tissue thin scarf, rolled it and knotted it twice. If you're feeling fancier, you can just refer to our "how to tie a tie".
Photo:REX USA/Wayne Tippetts/Rex
Leave it to Taylor Tomasi Hill to riff on a classic menswear trick. Traditionally worn under a tailored jacket, this criss-cross style is turned into the centerpiece of the look, with a heavier weight scarf and a belt to wrangle it in.
Photo:Michel Dufour/WireImage
So Euro, but in the best way possible: She wraps once around the neck and lets the ends fall uneven, for a perfectly undone effect. You can use a classic square or a more rectangular one for this.
Taming the wild west. This one dates back to the cowboys, but you can update a kerchief styling trick by doing it with a sleek black leather or fringe detail style. Fold a square scarf in half, grab the corners on each side of the fold, bring them behind your head to the nape of your neck, and make a double knot.

Shadow Warrior Review
Growing up a PC gamer in the heyday of Duke Nukem 3D and a host of other classics was like living in a utopia– you had so many wild and varied options, most of which experimented with different types of humor and narratives to keep audiences engaged. Rise of the Triad was one, and Duke Nukem 3D was rooted in the more humorous end of things, but what came next was both quirky and offensive to some– Shadow Warrior, the follow-up by 3D Realms to Duke Nukem 3D. It's been quite some time since the game has been in the public eye, but now it's been given the iOS treatment. If nothing else, it brings back the campy old-school shooter attitude.
Shadow Warrior is very much like its predecessor, although it follows the tale of a very different protagonist: Lo Wang and the rest of the Warriors, all hitmen of sorts from major corporations all over the globe. Lo Wang must eventually bite the hand that feeds him, as he happens upon damning evidence that his handlers are actually bringing forth vicious demons, summoning them to smash through Japan and destroying civilization as he knows it. Lo Wang isn't down with that, so Zilla Corporation must be destroyed. As you might expect, Zilla isn't exactly pleased with their star hitman's discovery, so retaliatory actions must be taken. This leads to Lo Wang being forced to confront demons of his own, sent to silence him. Shadow Warrior ensues.
Please enjoy this grenade.
Silly one-liners and quirky, bizarre sights abound as you slash your way through the city streets slaughtering the 2D ghouls who'd like nothing better than to taste your flesh. As you send the hellspawn crying to their mothers or reduce them to piles of sniveling flesh, you'll be treated to distinctly and stereotypically "Asian" decor and motifs, from the yin-yang health status gauge to Lo Wang's weapons store. Hack, slash, and shoot-'em-up, then move on to do it again. It's decidedly familiar stuff, especially if you grew up with these types of shooters, and it's comforting in a way knowing you can have games like this now in the palm of your hand rather than resorting to online distribution services to return to those good old uncomplicated days.
Except there's one very large misstep here: the port is nowhere near as easy to control with a touch screen layout. Like Duke Nukem 3D and many shooters on the platform before it, the touch controls are simply not up to the task. There are two ways you can play: using the thumbstick on the left side of the screen and aim with the right side of the screen, or choose two thumbsticks for both moving Lo Wang and aiming. Neither are particularly delectable options, as both make it difficult to control the camera and other buttons get in the way of the more important ones. For example, running and aiming at enemies is nowhere near as smooth as it should be, and for a game like this, that's ridiculously important.
Someone call PETA.
That's not to say it's not playable– it is, with some practice, but it simply won't feel the same. If you feel good enough controlling Wang, however, you'll be able to nab the first four levels for free (unlocking the rest costs $1.99). There are some deliciously violent scenes and plenty of enemy viscera flying back and forth, and plenty of quotables to come back to, but ultimately you're going to want to play this game on another platform if you've got the choice simply to regain more control over your hitman– throughout those 16 main levels, you'll be smacked with tougher and tougher enemies, and these layouts aren't going to be kind to you.
Shadow Warrior is still fundamentally a passable shooter, though obviously dated, but it suffers from the same issues many similar endeavors do, especially when ported to iOS devices. It's chock-full of the same run-and-gun action you're looking for if you're used to this era of gaming, but it's not worth the extra $1.99 if you test the waters and struggle with the stiff, nonviable controls. There are more polished offerings on the App Store if you need a shooter. If you want to relive your Shadow Warrior memories, check out a PC version instead.

Donald Trump, who has peddled a variety of conspiracy theories throughout his campaign, is in the midst of building his most elaborate one yet around the recent flood of allegations that he groped, kissed, and grabbed women without their consent, NBC News reported.
At a Thursday rally in West Palm Beach, he lashed out at women accusing him of "fabricated" and "absolutely false" sexual misconduct, linking them to an ever-expanding plot orchestrated by Hillary Clinton and the press to undermine his campaign.
U.S. intelligence officials have blamed a rash of hacking attacks against Democratic targets and distributed through Wikileaks on a Russian effort to influence the election — likely in Trump's favor. Trump, however is focusing on a supposed shadowy web of actors he claims are threatening to steal the election.
"This is a conspiracy against you, the American people, and we cannot let this happen or continue," Trump said.

I would say that this doesn't have to be a one-off relationship. And I would also say that if you don't think it's worth the value, then you probably don't understand the full functionality of GOBE Productive. Please read this before commenting further:

In Regina and area, there were 1,714 active listings on the market at the end of March, up 29% from 1,332 in 2013. In the city, 1,062 homes were listed for sale, an increase of 46% from last year's 728. This is the highest number of homes for sale at the end of the first quarter in the last 10 years. There were 721 new listings placed on the MLS® system in March, up 23% from 588 in 2013.
In March, sales were down slightly with 273 sales in Regina and area, down 5% from last year's 286. There were 224 sales in the city, a decrease of 7% from 2013 when 240 residential properties were sold.
The average sales price in all market areas for the month of March was $328,781, an increase of 5% over last years $313,849. The average in the city was $340,728, up 6% from last year's $322,010. These increases are entirely attributable to a shift to higher priced homes in the sales mix and are not indicactive of increases in value of properties.
We are entering what is typically the busiest time of the year in the April-June time period. With the increase in listings, buyers will have a great choice and selection in most price ranges and locations. Sellers need to be careful when setting an asking price to ensure it reflects the current market.
If you are thinking about buying or selling or want to know more about the real estate market in your neighbourhood, please feel free to contact myself or visit my website.
