Mitt Romney's wife has confirmed a tidbit about the vice presidential search process her husband largely has been keeping secret: He's considering choosing a woman.
"We've been looking at that, and I love that option as well," Ann Romney told CBS News in a joint interview with her husband that was broadcast Thursday. She added: "There's a lot of people that Mitt is considering right now."

Stressful Afternoon
We had a scary moment this afternoon when Tim's blood pressure dropped dramatically and his heart rate dropped along with it. It only lasted about four minutes, but watching a room full of doctors and nurses descend on Tim to try and resuscitate him. Thankfully he recovered quickly with his pressure, oxygen saturation and heart rate returning to normal. As a precaution he had a CT scan to both confirm his brain and heart were not affected by the event as well as to try and better diagnose what caused it in the first place. So far on the initial read nothing stood out to the doctors reviewing the scan but additional review is being done. As of now he is again resting comfortably, maintaining a regular rhythm, has a good blood pressure and overally doing well. The plan is to keep him comfy tonight and continue to work on weaning him off meds as they can.

The 'Gibraltar Police Association', which comprises members of the Royal Gibraltar Police, is set to be formally replaced by the 'Gibraltar Police Federation', following a Bill brought before Parliament by the Minister for Health, Care and Justice, Neil F. Costa MP.
This legislation will provide a legal framework to establish and regulate the Federation. The Association has been lately working in the spirit of such an arrangement.
The 'Gibraltar Police Federation' will become a completely independent body, providing its members with a forum to raise matters with the Commissioner, the Authority, and/or HM Government of Gibraltar, which are deemed to potentially affect the welfare and efficiency of the Royal Gibraltar Police.
A new set of regulations, devised by the Federation, HM Government of Gibraltar and His Excellency the Governor, will also be introduced, to repeal the current Gibraltar Police Association regulations. Other than replacing Section 79 of the Police Act, the new regulations will govern the procedures and functions of the Federation. This will include the establishment of two full-time convener posts, to be held by the chairman and secretary of the Federation, and the obligation to keep proper accounting systems.
Chairman of the Gibraltar Police Association, Mr Henry Bautista, stated: "The Association thanks the Chief Minister, the Minister for Justice and HM Government of Gibraltar for their continued support and is pleased to announce that this modern concept will provide the necessary legal platform in voicing and recognising its members concerns. A view welcomed and shared by all."
Minister Costa commented on the Bill: "It is important to establish the Gibraltar Police Federation and for this body to be officially recognised as an independent entity, to represent our officers and to work closely with the Commissioner and Government. The Federation will serve to identify and raise any matters for the benefit of our police force. I very much look forward to continue working with the Association and the newly constituted Police Federation, once established."

I didn't post very much last month. I've lost some enthusiasm for making money through websites because I haven't made any money. It's easy for some. I guess thats the only reason. It's also hard for me to be professional as such. I find content I create is fantasy sort of stuff not so good for making money. I don't know what to write about really. It is fun though creating a website.
Anyway one thing i've been doing is playing World of Warcraft. It's an online multiplayer game like Diablo 1 & 2 if you've ever played them but it's also a world full of people who you chat to at the same time and join up with to complete quests. I got a 14 day trial from The Warehouse for $2.50. I'm going to get the full game now because it holds many hours of entertainment for me.
Possibly the only problem with World of Warcraft is that there is a monthly subscription fee for the game, $25 NZ dollars a month. The way i'm going to be able to afford this is I have a debt with Work and Income NZ who are our benefit paying managing people. There is only about $30 left on the debt from about $700-800 initially. It was for the purchase of my glasses and bond when I moved into my house. I have been paying the debt at $11.50 per week for well over a year now. So i'm going to have an extra $11.50 per week. World of Warcraft will cost about $6 per week. I'll play for something like 3 months and I should of had enough by then.
The game, what is the game and your actually going to pay money you say. Well in World of Warcraft you have a character who you create at the beginning who starts on level one. You then walk around in a world full of towns with roads, boats and flights linking them all. In each town there are Non Playing Characters who have quests for you. You take a quest and it will be something like kill 20 of a certain type of creature and collect something from them for proof. The creatures are all located off the sides of the roads. If you stay on the road your quite safe. You get experience for killing the creatures and then returning and completing the quest. When you have enough experience you level up making your character stronger to a maximum level of 70.
You also have equipment for your character like swords and armor. Creatures drop items sometimes and if they are better than what you have you use it making your character stronger. Some quests require a group of people to complete it. Because it's hard. O your chatting the whole time to like ordinary internet chat. It's very social. It's very addictive and the urge to get just one more level is very strong. Thats a very basic description of the game. There are over 4 million users online playing the game at the moment. If you can get hold of a trial period disc for the game then I recommend giving it a go.
Here is a list of movies that I have watched in the last month. This is also what i've been doing.
Die Hard 4 - Excellent though technical story. Awesome effects. Non stop. Must Watch.
The Simpsons Movie - Yep classic simpsons. Excellent. Spiderpig. Must Watch.
Transformers - Awesome. Full on. Total action. Must Watch.
Next - Nicholas Cage. He can see 2 mins into the future. I liked as well. Not exactly an action but interesting concept.
Evan Almighty - Sequel to Bruce Almighty. Very good as well though ending predictable.
Fantastic Four Silver Surfer - Very good as well. Better than the first one.
Flushed Away - Animation. Very good. I guess I think most main stream movies are good.
Oceans 13 - Yep this is good. First one is best this is next.
Wild Hogs - Good as well.
You should watch all these movies. All good. Ok so thats all for this post. Nothing in the way of value here from this post. You now have 4 minutes less life. Sorry no refunds.
A.I. AWT Virtual Reality. 9/11 Extra Terrestrials. Free Speech.
First in Virtual Reality
Now Celebrating 10 Years of Blogging!!!
($746 Dollars earned)
This is a definate Back Corner Back Water Internet Site You Have Found Here.
It's like man save the world and nobody knows.
The powers that be (TPTB) aren't telling you the truth about September 11th 2001. Demand the truth. (Kinda boring).
They are lying. I think I make some sort of accusation that someone had knowledge of the September 911 terrorist attacks before they were going to happen. At least people with technology that has the ability to send text messages directly into your mind. Full motion video even as well. Super secret technology. A weapon. Virtual Reality. Advanced Weapons Technology Virtual Reality. Artificial Intelligence. New Life.
September 11th 2001 is a lie. They are lying.
They are LYING.
(It could happen).
Also Please Give Money - To Me - HeHe. Yeah you could cede some dollars through paypal and your credit card.
My story is a super small story. Who knows if their lying or not. I don't. I'm stupid. But listen. Contribute if you can.
My Story Begins with me Yelling "WAR" Live on Air to a New Zealand Nation Wide Radio Talk Back show during Prime Time 2 days before September 11th 2001 the infamous 9/11 World Trade Center and Pentagon Terrorist attacks.
This site is also about Virtual Reality. A new technology the Government possesses where the picture is in your head, in association with a computer which is Artificially Intelligent.
The government currently possess the technology to link your mind to a computer. They can read your mind while you are in bed, wirelessly, and full motion video text and images can be beamed directly into your mind. It comes up in your head in your eyesight. They also can interact with your dreams.
There are Extra Terrestrials around in the universe. The government would know the most. Just one more thing this blog is about.
FREE SPEECH? Then where is a copy of my phone call? Why are they hiding it? Because it's important. Osama Bin Laden is Dead. The 911 terrorist attacks will fade into the past as they have done already. My phone call will never see the freedom it deserves - with a general internet release. But don't say I didn't try, and facing the government which is a far superior force to me, then I always lose.
All I want is a copy of my phone call. That's all i'm saying. I'm living it. It's painful. Why can't I have a copy. WHY!! A copy of my phone call for general internet release. Thank you for listening if you got this far. As always leave a comment and donate some cash money if you can.

Contrary to popular belief, not all Republicans oppose gay marriage. While opposition to gay marriage has traditionally been a Republican hallmark, this is slowly starting to change. The fact that there is a Facebook group called Republicans for Marriage Equality speaks to this changing in the official party line.
While most Republican leaders still officially oppose gay marriage, the numbers of Republicans supporting gay marriage are slowly and stealthily increasing, showing that the party has the ability to change and adjust with the times.
This is crucial in upcoming elections, as polls show the majority of Americans are now in favor of making gay marriage legal.
The Changing Demographic of Republicans and Gay Marriage
Not surprisingly, the largest number of Republicans who support gay marriage are the younger ones. These are the people who have grown up in a world that has been preaching tolerance for as long as they can remember, and they believe in equality and inclusion for all, regardless of religious beliefs.
A new Pew Research Center Survey shows that 61 percent of Republicans under the age of 30 support gay marriage. This is a pretty large majority. This is also what the future of the Republican Party looks like.
It seems as though these younger Republicans will play a large role in the inevitable nationwide legalization of same sex marriage, as they partner with Democrats of all ages who already support it.
The same survey shows only 27 percent of Republicans over the age of 50 support gay marriage, and the Republican Party overall has a 39 percent approval rate for it. This clearly indicates that the issue of gay marriage is firmly in the hands of young Republicans.
The House and Senate Divide
Interestingly, there are no Republican members of the House of Representatives who support gay marriage. However, there are three Republican members of the Senate who support it. These are:
- Rob Portman (R-Ohio)
- Mark Kirk (R-Illinois)
- Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska)
The addition of Murkowski to this list is particularly surprising, since Alaska is a solidly red state. Illinois is blue, and Ohio goes back and forth. However, if even a strongly conservative Republican from a red state like Murkowski can get on board with gay marriage, that says that other Republicans can do it, too.
Murkowski's Reasoning Behind Her Support of Gay Marriage
Murkowski supports gay marriage because she believes it is in keeping with the pro-family and pro-small government values of the Republican Party. She doesn't believe the government has a place in people's bedrooms or in regulating how they organize their families.
She also believes the government should recognize same sex partners, especially those with children, because it keeps established and healthy families together.
She cites the case of a lesbian couple she knows where both women have served in the military and have adopted four children together.
Yet, because of the laws in Alaska against gay marriage, they don't get spousal benefits that could help them support their children, and if one partner became sick or disabled, the other might not be able to visit them in the hospital and the children might be taken away from that partner and given to the healthy one. Murkowski believes this is wrong and is going against traditional Republican family values.
The Future of the Republican Party and Gay Marriage
With so many young Republicans supporting gay marriage, traditionally conservative senators from red states equating supporting the issue with supporting family values, and senators from western states showing signs of giving their support to the issue in upcoming elections, it seems inevitable that the Republican party will become pro-gay marriage sooner than later.
The signs are all there, and with the support the issue already gets from Democrats and the American people at large, it is hard to imagine Republicans won't follow suit. There will always be a few holdouts, of course, but the future of the Republican Party is clearly one of a party that supports gay marriage.

Arsenal full-back Hector Bellerin has said that he does not listen to Arsenal Fan TV, adding that the channel does not affect the players.
Arsenal Fan TV, which has over 650,000 subscribers on YouTube, has featured appearances from the likes of Granit Xhaka and Santi Cazorla.
The page is often popular following a Gunners defeat, but Spanish defender Bellerin has said that it is not a hit among the Arsenal players.
"I don't think there's players who go on the internet to watch Arsenal Fan TV," the 22-year-old told reporters. "It does sometimes pop up on your timeline. I see it sometimes, some friends say 'oh have you heard what that guy on Arsenal Fan TV said.'
"For us players it doesn't affect us. If they want to have fun with it then have fun. When you grow you realise what is important to you to take [on board]. If a coach comes to me and says you've done something bad I'm going to take that advice.
"If someone from Arsenal Fan TV says this guy needs to do this or that I'm not going to listen to him.They're entitled to their opinion and the way they want to do it. If people find it funny then go watch it."
Arsenal, who secured a three-goal advantage in the first leg of their Europa League tie with Ostersunds on Thursday, take their lead to the Emirates next week.

It's easy to understand why Felicia wasn't jubilant when I walked through the door and revealed a bag containing wild mushrooms. After all, picking them is the easy part, while she gets stuck with cleaning off the insects, washing the mushrooms and then cooking them.
It's easy to understand why Felicia wasn't jubilant when I walked through the door and revealed a bag containing wild mushrooms. After all, picking them is the easy part, while she gets stuck with cleaning off the insects, washing the mushrooms and then cooking them.
The last time I brought home wild mushrooms was in early summer, and it was two shopping bags filled with the delicious sulphur polypores, or "chicken mushrooms." That was a lot of cleaning and cooking, but the results lasted us for many weeks — omelets, stews, soups, casseroles and on top of burgers.
This time, in an attempt to reduce the impact of my "gift," I announced that I'd found just one delicious wild mushroom. It was the truth — a single, 9-POUND, 15-INCH, giant puffball that filled up the entire plastic bag.
As soon as I saw the expression on my wife's face, I decided that this time, I'd give the prize to a friend who's enthralled with wild mushrooms.
There aren't many wild mushrooms that I feel confident enough to pick and eat, but the puffballs are among them. It's almost impossible to confuse them with any other fungi, and almost all puffballs are edible. The ones that aren't are black — not white — inside.
Puffballs don't have the stalks and caps present on many familiar mushrooms, nor do they have gills on their undersides to disseminate their spores. Most of them resemble golf balls or ping-pong balls sticking out of the ground.
As they ripen, the outer skin ruptures at the top and clouds of countless, powdery spores erupt from the opening at the touch of a raindrop or finger. (In the giant puffball, the entire outer skin cracks apart to release the spores.)
When the inner flesh of a puffball is white — before it matures and turns yellowish or brownish — it is edible. The few inedible and poisonous puffballs are black inside the outer shell.
(If a "puffball" is cut open and reveals the outline of a stalk and gills instead of solid white flesh, then it's not a puffball; it's a budding mushroom that hasn't opened its cap yet, and it shouldn't be eaten.)
If there's anything in nature that resembles an alien form that fell from the sky, it's a giant puffball. Sitting on the ground at the grassy edge of a field or roadside, this white, basketball-sized fungus looks like no other living thing. The one I found on Oct. 12 in Dingmans Ferry had me fooled into thinking it was a giant, round piece of styrofoam or an overgrown soccer ball.
Smaller puffballs often grow in colonies on dead logs and stumps, but the giant puffball is a loner and just doesn't seem to belong in its environment.
Like other mushrooms, a puffball is the outer fruiting body of a much more extensive organism that grows like an extensive mesh of threadlike hyphae (a mycelium) in decaying wood or leaf litter, or in association with the roots of plants. If conditions are right, the organism will persist for years and send up fruiting bodies every year. During extremely dry summers, however, many fungi fail to produce mushrooms or puffballs. The one I found probably resulted from all the rainfall the preceding week. This year was a very poor summer for mushrooms.
Another alien-looking fungus, closely related to the puffball, is the earthstar. Like a puffball, it grows as a small round object from the ground. The outer skin of an earthstar, however, splits into sections that curl back toward the ground like the rays of a star and leaves a smaller, round core in the middle that erupts the spores. Colonies of earthstars are sometimes found growing beneath trees on sandy soil or mulch.
Like the giant puffball, they resemble objects that fell from the sky.

How a Machine That Can Make Anything Would Change Everything
"If nanofabricators are ever built, the systems and structure of the world as we know them were built to solve a problem that will no longer exist."
(…) Suddenly, all you need is light and raw materials. Starvation ceases to be a problem. After all, what is food? Carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, phosphorous, sulphur. Nothing that you won't find with some dirt, some air, and maybe a little biomass thrown in for efficiency's sake.
Equally, there's no need to worry about not having medicine as long as you have the recipe and a nanofabricator. After all, the same elements I listed above could just as easily make insulin, paracetamol, and presumably the superior drugs of the future, too.

With the arrival of the summer months, many of us find ourselves pulling out our family tents from the back of the garage in anticipation of idyllic weekends away. But camping in the UK rarely means dry weather, and if your tent isn't in great condition or it hasn't been cared for properly, it can only mean waking up to damp inside. We thought we'd share some of our top tips for caring for your tent and simple fixes that might help if you're caught out.
British camping, especially at festival sites, usually means one thing; mud. But while many choose revel in it, your tent certainly won't!
Keeping your tent clean is quick, simple and is something you should try to get into your routine each time you go camping in the rain. A flysheet and inner tent free from dirt ensures any moisture can be wicked away and evaporated quickly, so no water sits in the material. These instructions apply to both synthetic and cotton canvas tents.
Most modern tent flysheets are made from Nylon or Polyester with a Polyurethane (PU) coating to make the fabric water repellent. Abrasion, exposure to UV, wind and rain will cause this coating to deteriorate eventually, and while the flysheet will still prevent water reaching the inner tent directly, it will begin to let water to soak into the fabric.
This can allow moisture to reach the inner tent if they come into contact with each other through a process called capillary action. It will also prevent condensation from leaving the inside of the tent - again causing it to collect and drip on the inner tent.
Packing and unpacking, pitching in the wind, people tripping over guy lines; the rigours of camping are tough on your flysheet and can lead to rips and tears in the fabric.
Duct Tape will usually provide a good short-term fix when applied to both sides of the fabric. For a more permanent solution, we recommend using McNett Tenacious Repair Tape, a clear tape that bonds to almost anything to form a near-invisible seal.
Even for keen campers, your tent will probably spend 90% of its life in storage. How you store your tent when its not in use will ultimately impact on its longevity and performance.

BLOEMFONTEIN (Reuters) – Australia coach Michael Cheika has warned his side to be careful of a possible backlash from South Africa in Saturday's Rugby Championship test at the Free State Stadium. South Africa will be determined to put in a good performance following their 57-0 defeat to New Zealand in Auckland two weeks ago and Cheika said it was crucial that the Wallabies stuck to the game plan. "Obviously everyone knows they're going to come back strong and hard after that game," he added. "Retribution will be in the air, no doubt, and we just happen to be the next team in line. We're going to have to prepare to work really, really hard for each other." Australia have already lost twice to the All Blacks in the tournament this year but proved much more competitive against the world champions than the Springboks. Cheika, however, did not believe that the record defeat had left the South Africans fragile. "I don't think South Africa have had many issues. They had a bit of a hiccup last week but everyone was singing their praises before that. "I've seen the footage, they've been going pretty good and I know how that New Zealand game can go against you. I've seen them in fine form this year. "We're very aware that it's a totally new challenge and I think hard work for us is going to be the key," he told reporters. "We know it's going to be a huge game. We want to do better in the conquest parts of the game; set-piece, scrum, lineout and just being more consistent. We don't have to rewrite the strategy book every week."(Reporting by Mark Gleeson; Editing by Peter Rutherford)

Do you know how your Adwords-acquired customer segments grow their LTV compared to those customers acquired from organic search? Have you ever thought of performing a cohort analysis on different customer segments side-by-side in the same report? If so, a qualitative cohort analysis will help you answer those questions.
In this article, we'll dive into what a qualitative cohort even is, why you might be interested in building this analysis, and how you can create it in Magento BI.
Cohort analysis in general can be broadly defined as the analysis of user groups that share similar characteristics over their life cycles. It allows you to identify behavioral trends across different user groups.
For a more in-depth primer on cohort analysis, take a look here - we wrote the site on it!
Most cohort analyses in Magento BI group users together by a common date: i.e, the set of all customers who made their first purchase in a given month. A qualitative cohort is a little different: it's a user group that is defined by a characteristic that isn't time-based. Some examples might be:
The Cohort Analysis Builder is optimized for grouping cohorts using a time-based characteristic. This is great for analyses focusing on a specific segment of user, i.e. all users who were acquired via a paid search campaign. In the Cohort Analysis Builder, you can (1) focus in on that specific user group, and (2) cohort on a date (like their first order date).
However, if you want to analyze the cohort behavior of multiple user segments in the same cohort report (paid search vs. organic search vs direct traffic, perhaps?), this more advanced analysis can be constructed in the Report Builder.
Creating a qualitative cohort report in the Report Builder involves our analyst team creating some advanced calculated columns on the necessary tables.
To build these, please submit a support ticket (and reference this article!). Here's what we'll need to know:
Once our analyst team responds to the above, you will have a couple of new advanced calculated columns to build out your report! Then you'll be able to follow the below directions to do this.
First, you'll want to add the metric you're interested in cohorting, once for each cohort you are analyzing. In this example, we want to see cumulative Revenue made in the months after a customer's first order, segmented by the User's referral source. This means that, for each segment, we will add one Revenue metric and filter for the specific segment:
Second, you should make two changes to the time options of the report:
In our example, we'll be looking at an all time view of Revenue. After this, you should end up with a series of dots:
Third, you will make an adjustment to actually set up the cohorts. Based on the cohort date and time interval you specified to our analyst team, you'll have a dimension in your account that will perform the cohort dating. In this example, that custom dimension is called Months between this order and customer's first order date. Using this dimension, you should:
Now, you'll be able to see one line for each cohort that you specified. Check out our example now -- we see the Revenue contributed by users of each referral source, grouped by the number of months between their first order and any subsequent order. We also added a Cumulative perspective to see the cohorts' aggregate growth - take a look at the results table for more granularity.
What does this tell us? Here, the specific referral source Paid search is very valuable in the first month of a customer's purchasing lifetime, but fails to retain its customer base with repeat revenue. While Direct Traffic starts off at a lower amount, revenue in subsequent months actually accumulates at a similar pace.
No matter how you dice it, cohort analysis is a powerful tool in your analysis toolbox. This type of analysis can yield some very interesting insights about your business that traditional time-based cohorts may not, enabling you to make better data-driven decisions.

As they enter their budget season, Cape municipal leaders are hopeful that the new health care reform law signed into effect by Gov Deval Patrick last summer will curb one of the great drains on their increasingly limited revenues.
SANDWICH — As they enter their budget season, Cape municipal leaders are hopeful that the new health care reform law signed into effect by Gov. Deval Patrick last summer will curb one of the great drains on their increasingly limited revenues.
"This is the most important municipal reform in years, if not decades," said Michael Widmer, president of the Massachusetts Taxpayers Foundation. "It promises to save a large amount of money for every city or town while still preserving generous health care benefits for employees and retirees."
The Legislature crafted the reform bill to help towns and cities dealing with double-digit annual increases in the cost of their health plans by removing the requirement that any changes be done through collective bargaining.
"In the past, communities were stymied because ... unions were able to say no and block change," said Geoffrey Beckwith, executive director of the Massachusetts Municipal Association. "We anticipate that virtually every community will take a look and see what their savings will be. Most will be able to save money."
As health care costs soared over the past decade, employers in private companies passed on part of that increase to their employees by raising their copays and deductibles. Not so in the public sector, where municipal employees saw little or no change because state law required negotiated agreements through collective bargaining.
This was especially true locally, where the Cape Cod Municipal Health Group manages health care plans for 14 of the Cape's 15 towns and all of Martha's Vineyard. A 2001 court decision in which Dennis firefighters sued the town ruled that joint purchase groups like the Cape Cod health group couldn't make any changes until they negotiated with every bargaining unit through the collective bargaining process. The Cape group is the second-largest joint purchase organization in the state, and its 52 separate collective bargaining units were all on different timetables for contract renewals. That made it impossible to adjust any of the employee contributions or deductibles. As a result the employers, the Cape's towns, had to absorb the cost increases.
"For a decade they have not been able to change features (in their plans). As costs have been escalating at 10 percent per year, members' charges have stayed the same," said Carol Cormier, the municipal health group consultant who helps manage the county health plans. Cormier said the group was so frustrated at not being able to enact change it created a second level of health plan that incorporated higher copays and deductibles to lower premiums. But it didn't prove popular; more than 94 percent of the 21,000 participants chose to retain the more expensive option.
Although the Cape Cod health care group used surplus funds to help keep health care costs in check, two of the past three years have seen a 9.5 percent increase.
In Sandwich, for example, plan expenses rose from $5.9 million to $8.3 million between 2005 and 2010, at an average rate hike of nearly 7 percent per year. Although it's still too early to come up with an exact figure, Town Administrator George "Bud" Dunham anticipates the new law will at least take care of the estimated 10 percent rate hike expected for the next fiscal year, saving the town around $900,000.
Unions resisted the change, but the financial reality was that health care savings could mean fewer or no layoffs, Widmer said.
"I'm sure they are not happy about it. No one is happy about additional costs," Cormier said.
To protect employees, the law stipulated that changes to benefits, copays and deductibles could be no harsher than what is offered by the Group Insurance Commission, a state agency that offers benefits to state employees and their dependents.
Under the new law, towns could decide to enroll employees in a GIC plan or modify their own plans, which is what the Cape health care group recently voted to do. In the coming months, selectmen, or another municipal decision-making body, must vote to adopt those changes.
After the Cape health care group sets its rates this January, the potential savings are calculated and the towns sit down with unions in an expedited bargaining session that includes a representative of each bargaining unit and one for retirees. They must reach a decision within 30 days or it goes to arbitration by specially appointed review panel. That panel must approve the proposed changes, as long as they don't exceed what is offered under the GIC.
To offset the initial impact of these changes, the new law stipulated that towns must return 25 percent of the realized savings to plan members in the first year of implementation. The law requires that any eligible retirees be moved off private health care plans and into Medicare plans which are paid for by the federal government, not the town.
"Communities were put into this box, with health care taking up a larger portion of the budget. It was an unsustainable situation," Widmer said.

Workers' right to form unions is under attack
News last week focused squarely, and narrowly, on some strategic differences in organizing philosophy among a handful of labor unions. And The Sun's article "2 unions break off from AFL-CIO" (July 26) neglected altogether the fundamental and enduring areas of agreement among every labor union in the country - that a staggering number of American workers who support unions face full-fledged assaults upon their rights in the workplace.
Instead of investing in their employees and contributing to harmony in the workplace, employers pour millions upon millions of dollars - money that could otherwise bolster employee wages and benefits - into campaigns designed to divide and conquer the work force as it considers whether or not to form a union.

Since starting my office, I haven't built anything (aside from a tool rack of pallet wood).
I'm thinking of building a guitar for my personal office (inside my dental office) for when patients don't show up, I'm stuck late with way too much paperwork, or I'm going stir crazy.
Do you guys have any recommendations?
I'm hoping for a fairly quick build (thinking of getting a serviced kit, even) since I don't have a ton of shop time.
I'd like something that'll be easy to play (since I don't play enough to have calluses), fingerstyle, and sorta sweet.
I'm not sure if I'll go with steel strings, silk and steel, or nylon strings.
Since I'm not going to try to entertain the audience next door (kids getting sedated and blood draw place), it doesn't need to be loud.

Sam McKnight
Within the world of hair, Sam McKnight is a man that requires little introduction. He has touched the tresses of Princess Diana, conjured up countless creations for the cover of Vogue and invented iconic moments involving bleached blonde crops. Four decades later, Sam is still entrenched in photo shoot sessions and backstage styling, and has also found the time to author a book and curate a jaw-dropping museum exhibit.
Hairstyling, which swept Sam off his feet, almost by accident, has afforded him a life of unbelievable experiences. Sam was born and raised by a working-class family in Prestwick, a tiny village in Scotland. It was there—after a misguided attempt at becoming a schoolteacher—that Sam started doing odd jobs for a friend who owned a salon. At the age of 19, the soon-to-be industry icon picked up and moved to London where he joined Molton Brown and began absorbing the technical side of hairdressing.
The session styling side of the industry would open up to Sam after he was introduced to Kerry Warn in the early 1970s. Sam did his first Vogue shoot in 1977, and by the end of that decade he had moved exclusively into the competitive and rewarding realm of session styling. A move that is still celebrated by the creative directors, models, makeup artists and photographers who are lucky enough to ideate and collaborate with Sam.
After the madness of Fashion Week, we snuck in a few minutes with Sam to learn more about his new adventure as author, his Somerset House exhibit and his almost-unbelievable industry partnerships that have taken place over the last 40 years.
How do you stay inspired after almost 40 years in the industry?
Collaborations with people like [former editor-in-chief of Vogue Paris] Carine Roitfeld, [British Vogue Fashion Director] Lucinda Chambers, [photographer] Irving Penn, [fashion photographer] Mario Testino, [makeup artist] Mary Greenwell and [makeup artist] Val Garland—to name only a very few—keep me inspired. These amazing people are a constant source of inspiration. The work we do together and that collaborative process keeps me going and challenges me.
You also work with iconic designers like Karl Lagerfeld, Vivienne Westwood and Balmain. Is your approach and process different when you work with these big names?
You always need to treat every shoot or show with respect no matter who the designer is—of course, some people have bigger, more elaborate ideas. The trick is to never go in thinking 'This is what I'm going to today,' or 'This is my thinking.' It is never completely your day; you are all working toward the same end.
What is something that still challenges you about the beauty industry?
I work with people who have very big, imaginative ideas for their shoots, collections and shows. I challenge myself with every job I take. You should never be working on autopilot. Every season and shoot brings its new challenges. It's what makes life so interesting and compelling.
What has been your most memorable project?
I absolutely loved the Princess Diana shoot I did with Patrick Demarchelier in 1990. Mary Greenwell was the makeup artist and Anna Harvey was the stylist—It was such a memorable moment. I even have a fridge magnet of that shot.
You have 100K Instagram followers—Has social media changed your approach to session styling?
It has changed the industry. On the one hand it's a good thing—I enjoy Instagram and sharing my work with people, but the flip side is that the mystery is slowly being eaten away. The elegance, glamour and fantasy is disappearing, which is a little sad.
What is your signature style?
"Cool girl" is my signature style. It's that sexy, effortless, rock 'n' roll look. The trick to "cool-girl" hair is making it look like you haven't tried. It's the antithesis to done hair.
You recently added author to your resume. Tell us a little bit about Hair by Sam McKnight.
Hair by Sam McKnight is an amalgamation of my 40 years in the business. I've worked with some of the most talented and creative people in the industry, and the book is a celebration of our work together. It also gives people a snapshot of some of my most proudest moments as well as an authentic insight into the hair industry.
What provoked you to put together your esteemed collection of images in one (beautiful) place?
I had been talking to Rizzoli—the same people who did Kate Moss's book—for a while, but we couldn't decide what the book should be bout. After meeting with Somerset House about the exhibition, I realized that the book should be an archive of the (incredible!) past 40 years.
There are 800 images in your book. Why did these make the cut and what was the selection process like?
It was so hard to narrow down the nearly 40,000 editorial images. There are so many good ones, and it feels like you're losing a child when you edit them out. Selecting the personal photos was easy. I'd just look at them and say, 'No, too fat in this one, too old in that one.'
You mention your exhibition at Somerset House. How did the show come about?
I was fed up with carrying around 40 years' worth of magazines and tear sheets. I've taken them with me to every house and apartment, and when I moved into my current home five years ago, it became clear that they were taking up a ridiculous amount of space. I said, 'I'm not doing this again; these are going digital,' and the woman who was doing the digital archive for me happened to work for Somerset House. She showed my archive to the team and that was the catalyst for the exhibition.
What was it like to see your work on display at an arts center that is experienced by 3 million visitors every year?
It's a truly humbling experience. I am grateful to anyone and everyone who helped to make it happen.
What tips can you share with newer stylists who want to break into the session-styling world?
This industry is hard work. You need to have a passion for it and put in the hours. Grab all the opportunities you are given. More than anything, I'm hoping the exhibition has shown what's possible, and has given more recognition to the industry.
How does London inspire you?
London has many old, beautiful buildings that inspire me—the architecture is amazing. My favorites are the old Georgian terraced houses with railings outside of them. They are just beautiful. The constant row of traditional, Georgian houses is so uniquely London. Regent's Park has some lovely ones.
If you had to move away from London tomorrow, where would you go?
I would go to a small house in the country, near the sea. It would probably be in Dorset with a walled garden and an orchard.
What is one fashion statement that will never go out of style?
With everything you have going on, when do you find time to relax and what do you do when you can squeeze in a few moments of "me" time?
I am surrounded by people all the time, so a great luxury for me is to spend a little time by myself. A little solitude is precious. I love to spend time in my gardens—flowers are even more photogenic than models!

This week's post is about two kinds of ghosts. The first relates to my creative process. The second refers to the ghosts my characters may be dealing with. I spent the past weekend at the Dallas-Fort Worth Writers' Conference in Dallas with two dear writing friends: Kimberly Emerson and M. Pepper Langlinais. (I affectionately refer to this great city as Fresno, TX. It's flat, super-hot, and a temple to the gods of urban sprawl. But, I digress.) Naturally when you get a bunch of writers together, we start talking shop and comparing notes. One topic cropped up again and again- yep, our creative process. Where do we get our ideas? What inspires us?
I hear voices. It's as simple as that.
No, seriously. And no need to fetch the guys/gals in white coats. I'm perfectly sane. It's just I'm never alone.
Before I start typing out a story I dream about it. People kind of appear, like ghosts haunting me. The characters begin to flesh themselves out in my head, and I overhear snippets of conversation. Next I see the actions: a laugh, a sword fight, the fall of a blossom on a grave. The details depend on the type of story. Finally, these elements coalesce into a complete picture and then I have to get it on paper or my laptop before they begin to disintegrate once more and fade from view.
I do a great deal of journaling- never travel without one in case the ghosts appear. Once the outlines of the story are set then comes more daydreaming, usually when I am running or working out. Story arch, motifs, themes, those get worked out through sweat. After that, it's pedal to the metal writing. Music helps with the heavy lifting section of the writing. I run with music and write to it. When I wrote The Dragon in The Garden I listened to Yes's Learning to Fly. Sea Strand came to life with various Nightwish albums as its soundtrack. Those North Atlantic rhythms blended perfectly with the cadence of the story's ocean currents.
This summer I am working on the finishing touches to a novel whose title has not been firmly set. The music has been Iron Maiden. The darkness of some of their songs creates a great mood against the combination of noir and snark I want for this urban fantasy centered around a female P.I. named Charlie Watts.
Right now I am haunted by unfamiliar ghosts. Not a dragon, selkie, ogre, or banshee in sight. Nope, just everyday people living everyday lives. There's a short story building in my brain which has nothing to do with the fantastical. Odd.
For a long time it's struck me that social media is doing funky things to our personal interactions. Take FaceBook or Twitter for example. Someone can post "Yippee! Financial security at last!" Obviously, their friends will "retweet" or "like" this good news while making lots of supportive, affirming comments. Yet, what if said financial security came from defrauding the elderly of their pensions? Would that person's Friends or Followers be so quick to join the party? My point being that the Internet has always allowed us to show slivers of our true selves, choosing and editing our personae as we see fit. We do this every day in our real world lives, but it's more extreme online.
In the beginning three ghosts haunted me. A husband who left his wife and kids, the wife he abandoned, and the mistress he goes to. Naturally, and sadly, there's a fair bit of overlap to the two relationships. I wanted to tell the story from three viewpoints and largely through FaceBook posts. Few people consciously set out to behave like complete asses. Each of these characters would possess their own hopes, dreams, and motivations. Each would seek to justify their actions.
Over time though, I've had a difficult time with the husband. He's not as strong a presence in my mind. Probably because as a woman, it's far easier for me to imagine their thoughts than his. The haunting is reaching the tipping point and it's time to start writing. I'll be using the two women's points of view. Simpler, cleaner for a short story. Though the philandering husband has exited the story, wisps of him linger in my mind.
How can one person go from a marriage to an affair and a rapid engagement? Wouldn't they be haunted? No time to process, to figure out where the train jumped the tracks? How would that lack of introspection and self-awareness affect the second marriage? Maybe I'm over thinking it or feminizing the process. People do jump into relationships all the time. A hasty remarriage is not uncommon. Of course, the success rates of these later marriages resonate with failure, so there's that. I would imagine that over time the person would develop their own ghosts. Memories, regrets, and questions swirling through their head. Makes you wonder not if but how quickly the second marriage would unravel.
Hmm, maybe there is a second story there for another day? In the meantime, this week's song springs from one of my ghosts about his ghosts. It's My Heart is a Ghost Town by Adam Lambert. A bit pop for my usual taste, but the sentiments fit here. Enjoy.

A Blessing
A Blessing
In darkness, may you always find a light; On long paths, a safe place to rest; And in cold winds, a hearth to warm you.
As the road stretches out before you, May you always travel with friends, And if alone, with the warmth of their love in your heart.
Through day and night, season to season, May you always meet kindness and plenty, Knowing that God loves you beyond all understanding.

FALL RIVER— When George Dechambeau circumnavigated the globe on his sailboat he didn't really enjoy a good night's sleep until he came back.
FALL RIVER— When George Dechambeau circumnavigated the globe on his sailboat he didn't really enjoy a good night's sleep until he came back.
"It was the anchor," he explained. "I was always worried about it dragging." He related his experience to his friend Durval Tavares as they were having dinner in Newport one evening after his return. In most cases, such an observation would not have made it past dessert. But it set Tavares, who spent 19 years working with autonomous underwater vehicles at the Naval Undersea Warfare Center laboratory in Newport, to thinking.
The result of his cogitation is a brand new company called Aquabotix, based in Fall River, with an exciting new product called the AquaLens, a small underwater camera that is lowered in the water to stream live video back to an LCD panel worn on the operator's wrist.
The fledgling company has just moved into its new surroundings in the multi-use Commonwealth Landing development on North Davoll Street.
"Peace of mind without getting wet," is how Aquabotix markets its nifty new device, which sells for $795.
Powered by 8 AA batteries, the AquaLens camera has a resolution of 640-by-480 and comes with built-in LED and infrared lights for night operation. It can also be operated using a power cord from a 12-volt battery.
Designed primarily with boaters in mind, the camera debuted at the Newport Boat Show in September. It was intended to offer boat operators additional security by enabling hull, rudder and propellor inspections from topside, as well as a convenient way of checking the anchor. But showgoers in Newport surprised Tavares with suggestions for a variety of uses in the marine environment that had not occurred to him.
"I had a marine biologist who inspects eel grass who wanted one. He didn't want to dive in the water when it was cold," he said. "There was another guy who built piers and he wanted me to make one that could go down 40 feet to inspect the pilings."
The AquaLens comes with a 15-foot cable and is designed to attach to the standard marine boathook. But the company is getting set to unveil a more powerful motorized device called the HydroView which can actually be piloted underwater using an iPad or laptop.
Equipped with twin propellors, the HydroView has a speed of around three knots and will change direction with a tilt of the screen.
The propellors were designed at UMass Dartmouth and rotate in opposite directions to prevent 'walking,' according to Tavares. The HydroView is tethered to a 75-foot cable but with extensions can descend to a depth of 175 feet. A high-tech product, the casing is manufactured in Worcester using a computer-controlled process called stereolithography or SLA, that converts liquid resin into solid cross-sections using an ultraviolet laser.
"The HydroView can do everything that the AquaLens can, but it's a lot more fun. You get to drive it around," Tavares said. Looking for items on the seabed, checking out marine life or recording anything that is happening in the water column are some of the uses he suggested for the sleek device. "It's very easy to use," he said. "You don't need any training because you're using things you are already familiar with."
The design of the HydroView is modular so that propellors or motors can simply be replaced if any problems develop. Retail price for the new product, which is still a few weeks short of production, is expected to be $2,995. "We've also had interest from police departments who want to use it for search and rescue," he said.
Tavares and his team are rolling out is the Aquabotix products at the boat show in Ft. Lauderdale and then head to Europe. "Amsterdam has the largest marine trade show in the world and we're going to that," he said.
Once the orders start rolling in, Tavares says he hopes to employ up to 24 people at his new plant for production and assembly work, along with hiring software and electrical engineers and marketing personnel.
A Rehoboth resident, Tavares came to the states at the age of 10 from the Azores and his family initially settled in Fall River before moving to Somerset. When he made a decision to launch his own company there was never a doubt in his mind about where he should set up shop.
"My wife is from Fall River and all our family is here," he said. "I went to UMass Dartmouth. This area has been good to us and we wanted to do something to give back to the community," For more information visit aquabotix.com

China launches a 1-Year Customs Law Enforcement Campaign to crack down on smuggling of "foreign waste" (certain waste and scrap)
BIR would like to inform its members that through its permanent advisor on Chinese legislative affairs it has been made aware of a recent news item issued by Xinhua News Agency.
The agency reported that the Chinese Customs and Excise Department of the People's Republic of China will launch a one-year joint campaign called "National Sword 2017" to crack down on smuggling. "National Sword 2017" will focus on "foreign waste", agricultural products, resource products, tax-related goods, drugs and guns and other illegal smuggling activities.
The "foreign waste" of concern to the Chines authorities includes the illegal activities of smuggling solid wastes such as industrial waste, electronic waste, household waste and plastic waste. The Chinese customs will further strengthen the cooperation with all localities, the relevant departments and industry associations.
The full text of the news and a tentative translation can be accessed here.
In relation to this issue, the Bureau of International Recycling had presented the activities of its member companies and national associations to the Chinese Authorities, the General Administration of China Customs (GACC) and other competent authorities from China such as the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (AQSIQ), Ministry for the Environment Protection (MEP) at the end of last year supporting the even-handed implementation and enforcement of laws. See BIR e-Brief of November 2016

WCM: Focused on Quality & Growth
05/10/2017 2:50 am EST
Focus: FUNDS
We're invested in global growth stocks through WCM Focused International Growth (WCMRX). This is another fund that seeks to own the stocks of a few quality companies. The fund looks for high, sustainable growth, says Bob Carlson, editor of Retirement Watch.
First, the analysts screen for companies that have high growth rates and carry little or no debt. Then, they dive deeply into the companies to determine which are the few who appear able to sustain that growth for years and merit inclusion in the portfolio.
Quality management is, of course, important. So are two other key features. The fund wants a company to benefit from one of the global long-term trends it has identified. These include changing demographics, an expanding global middle class, increased use of technology and greater outsourcing.
Some kind of moat, or protection, for the business also is important. The protection could be legal or regulatory. Other protections include difficulty for customers to change to other suppliers, unique products or services and economies of scale.
The strategy has paid off over both the long term and short term. The fund is among the top performers in its category over most periods, according to Morningstar. In the last four weeks, the fund is up 2.46% and it has returned 10.73% for the year to date.
Because of its focus on growth, the fund tends to be concentrated in a few sectors: technology, 21%, consumer cyclical, 18%, and healthcare, 17%. The fund is invested 23% in the Americas, 50% in Europe and 27% in Asia. Almost 17% of the fund is in emerging economy stocks.
The fund owns 32 stocks and has 41% of the fund in the 10 largest positions. The top positions are Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM), Chubb (CB), CSL (CSL), Reckitt Benckiser (London: RB) and Canadian Pacific Railway (CP). The annual turnover is 26%.

Anirban LahiriHilton Head, South Carolina
ANIRBAN LAHIRI: I hit it on 11. I hit it on 12. I hit it on 16, 15, 18, 1, 2, 3, 8 and 5. Quite a bit, actually. I mean for it not being a typically long golf course you still have a few drivers.
Q. Is this a course you need to get a good start?
ANIRBAN LAHIRI: I'd like to think so. It's the kind of golf course where you have to take advantage where you can. You're going to get tough days. It's probably going to really firm up. It's not going to rain it's going to bake. And it was a little wet in the morning with the dew, made it a little softer. You could almost feel it beginning to firm up underfoot as we were finishing up. I'd expect more of that by Sunday.
Q. You've got to be happy where you are heading into the next round?
ANIRBAN LAHIRI: Yeah, absolutely. You want to get off to a solid start. I think I played well to start, still some work to do in some areas. I've been off for three weeks. Also just getting my rhythm back on the golf course. So that feels good, yeah.
Q. What did you do last week, were you watching the Masters?
ANIRBAN LAHIRI: I didn't watch Thursday and Friday. It was very hard for me to watch, honestly. I played the last two years. And it was difficult. I tried to drown myself in work Thursday and Friday. But everybody shuts down on the weekend so I watched some golf.
I've been working on my game, particularly on my putting and my short game. I think those two areas have been my weak links, at least in the last two or three months. Today I hit the ball really good. And I've just not done justice to my scoring. So I worked on that. Happy to have made a few putts coming in, even though most of the time I was scrambling. I worked on that, took some time off. Got back to work on my fitness. I had a very grueling travel schedule to start the year, so I needed to take some time off and put my feet up and just recover from that, as well.
Q. Have a good run from here?
ANIRBAN LAHIRI: Yes, I'm playing this week and next. And then I'll take two weeks off and I play PLAYERS all the way through to Memorial and take it from there.
Q. How much do you think the Presidents Cup or how big is that a goal?
ANIRBAN LAHIRI: It's definitely a big goal. I do think about it. I think over the last three or four weeks I've thought less about it, simply because I need to put a lot of work into my game. And I'm getting closer to my game, let's put it that way. I've hit the ball pretty good, I felt. But like I said, I don't think the rest of my -- the scoring game hasn't been very good. And that's where the focus is.
The Presidents Cup is definitely on my mind and everyone else who can play on that team. But I know that I've kind of slowly petered away from the World Rankings. So for me to get myself to quality I need to at least win once. And if I can't win once, I've got to get into the top three multiple times. That's the only way I'm going to be able to break back into the top-50 or better. It's been disappointing, because the way I've finished events the weekends the haven't been very good. Let's see, hopefully I can keep the momentum going.
Q. Do you know where you are on the points list?
ANIRBAN LAHIRI: I'm 20.
Q. You think a win or a couple of top threes --
ANIRBAN LAHIRI: Thinking of winning, regardless. If you do the math it's simple. I'm 80th in the world. I'm more than a point average behind, say 50th in the world. And point average is 50 points, 52 points, if you look at the divisor.
Q. No one's ever explained it that well. As simple as anyone's made it.
ANIRBAN LAHIRI: I've got to play well, honestly, and winning or not, I've got to keep playing. I still have four or five months ahead of me. It's not a do or die situation. It's not. But again if I can keep playing well and keep moving the right direction, who knows?
Q. Nick's said he'd like to have as much of the team from last time as he can. He needs to see you're in the right direction?
ANIRBAN LAHIRI: I think Nick is going to want to have his strongest 12 players to tee it up. I want to be playing well enough to justify being on that 12, whether it's automatic or not. You want to be contributing, and I think that's why I'm so motivated because I didn't have a very good debut at the Presidents Cup. So I feel like I am in a position of something that motivates me.
Q. Talking about your disappointment of not being in Augusta last week. I guess you're pretty pleased, like most of us are, that Sergio won?
ANIRBAN LAHIRI: Yes. It's fantastic.
