Appeals Court Upholds Ohio Restrictions on Medication Abortion
October 3, 2012 — A federal appeals court on Tuesday upheld a 2004 Ohio law (Section 2919.123 (A)) that restricts the use of a medication abortion drug, the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
The law restricts the use of mifepristone to the first seven weeks of pregnancy, in accordance with FDA guidelines established in 1999. Subsequent clinical studies have found that the drug is safe to use for at least two additional weeks.
Planned Parenthood challenged the law on several grounds, including that criminalizing use of the drug after seven weeks interferes with the doctor-patient relationship and is medically unnecessary. The group also argued that the law essentially forces a woman to have a surgical abortion when the non-surgical option is a better one. They also argued that the law places an unconstitutional undue burden on a woman's right to an abortion (Horn, Cincinnati Enquirer, 10/2).
Last year, U.S. District Court Judge Susan Dlott ruled against Planned Parenthood and said the law did not constitute an undue burden (AP/Cleveland Plain Dealer, 10/2).
Latest Ruling, Outstanding Issue
A three-judge panel for the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati agreed with Dlott, ruling that the law does not create an unconstitutional burden. Judge Karen Nelson Moore dissented, noting that because 17.7% of abortions in Ohio are non-surgical, the law could pose barriers to women who prefer that method.
The ruling addresses many of the legal issues with the law, but it is not the final decision in the case, according to the Enquirer. Dlott still must determine whether the law is constitutional despite the fact that it does not include a health exception. No date has been set for that trial.
Additionally, Planned Parenthood could appeal Tuesday's ruling to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Gary Dougherty, legislative director for Planned Parenthood of Greater Ohio, said the ruling "puts ideology over science, and bans a safe method of abortion early in pregnancy."
Meanwhile, Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine (R) praised the ruling and said his office would continue defending the law in court (Cincinnati Enquirer, 10/2).

Pac-12 Morning Five: 03.16.12 EditionPosted by AMurawa on March 16th, 2012
- With California's defeat in the First Four on Wednesday night, Colorado is left alone to carry the flag for the Pac-12 conference in the NCAA Tournament. And they made a fine showing on Thursday night, roaring out to a 20-point second half lead over UNLV before letting off the gas, and allowing the Rebels back into the game. But, the Buffaloes were able to cobble things back together, sparked by a great block from Andre Roberson that turned into a Carlon Brown slam on the other end. At the end of the regular season, the Buffs were in a do-or-die scenario, needing to win the Pac-12 Tournament to advance even this far. But, it is clear now, as they ride a five-game winning streak that "do" was the choice the team made.
- In the wake of California's loss to South Florida, there is a feeling of disappointment around the Golden Bear program. Heading into the final two weeks of the season, they were tied for first in the Pac-12 conference and seemed to be on the road to a special season. Instead, they lost four of their last five, capped by a terrible performance against the Bulls. Now seniors Jorge Gutierrez and Harper Kamp move on, while head coach Mike Montgomery is, apparently, left to rebuild around guards Allen Crabbe and Justin Cobbs. But with every season the 65-year-old head coach wraps up, there is some question as to whether he's nearing the end. Thus far, there are no indications that he's planning a retirement party in the immediate future, but, especially after October's bladder cancer scare, there is the chance that at any time, Montgomery could be ready to move on.
- One of the defenses of Johnny Dawkins' poor showing in his time at Stanford is that he inherited a bare cupboard when he took the program over from Trent Johnson. But Jon Wilner sees through that claim and shoots it down, noting that Dawkins' first roster included two all-conference honorable mention selections from the previous year (Anthony Goods and Mitch Johnson), an all-conference first-team member from two years previous (Lawrence Hill) and junior forward Landry Fields who was about to turn into an NBA-caliber player. Now, of course Dawkins should get some credit for Fields' development, but the fact is there was enough talent on the Cardinal roster to finish higher than the ninth-place slot they wound up in.
- Utah's offseason is off to a pretty good start, as head coach Larry Krystkowiak got his first oral commitment from a 2013 recruit on Thursday, from 6'3" point guard Julian Jacobs. With freshman Kareem Storey having taken over the lead guard role in the wake of Josh Watkins' dismissal this year, he may have the edge on Jacobs when the newcomer arrives, but as Krystkowiak learned this season, you can never have too many point guards.
- Arizona State is another program that needs and influx of talent. And while they've got some Division I recruits (Bo Barnes and Evan Gordon) that will be eligible next year and freshman point guard Jahii Carson finally able to kick start his career in Tempe, head coach Herb Sendek is spending his NCAA Tournament time hitting the road in search of additional help.

Jaya.... zara bachke rehna.
I dragged my protesting husband to watch, "A Wednesday." How i wish I had spared him the effort. Forget the melodramatic twist in the tale (only an actor of Naseeruddin Shah's stature could provide some dignity to that), the rest of the movie was embarrassingly amateurish with jarring sound effects and a screechy background score that alerted viewers well in advance to some 'dramatic' development in the offing. Childish!! Patchy camerawork added to the misery. Jimmy's jaws must have hurt with all that determined chewing of gum.Deepal looked more like a bar girl on her day off than a serious tv reporter.Anupam was fine, but one dimensional as Mumbai's top cop. The man playing the CM looked looked like he had strolled out of an Ekta Kapoor serial after playing someone's father-in-law. The script was ridden with the worst cliches - A Muslim ATS guy sent to total FOUR Muslim terrorists, who are being tricked by another Muslim 'Common man' (Naseer). Come on.... is there no room for subtlety? Naseer's final bhashan is more appropriate in a documentary. The 'message' is delivered as a 'message', which is not what GOOD cinema is about.This is called propaganda and appealing to the masses in the old Films' Division mode. Heavy handed and lacking in sophistication of thought.Noble, it may be in intention. But cinema is about art and the power to move AUDIENCES without hammering the message home (ditto, for the 'Rang De, Basanti' ending). Should civilians take the law into their own hands and kill people they believe are 'bad' for society?? If every 'common man' decides that is the only way forward, we will get anarchy, not peace. Civil resolutions do not lie in violence-for-violence. That was my biggest shikayat against this film, which once again has been praised to the skies by maha critics!!

Zabaan Sambhaal Ke... Jaya Ji
Bengal Sweets to UP Halwai : Jaya Bhadhuri's zabaan shows bahaduri. But whats the need. I wonder? I agree she speaks very little, and when she speaks she blasts a few bombs. (Typical Arien that she is)
Guddi jo hai buddhi... he can dare to say.. can jaya retort back saying "Raju jo hai Daaku" about Raj T. No she cant, when he can get away with his freedom of expression, no matter how vehement it may be, then why cant she too dare to say that... (Anyways why comparison of Jaya with such fanatics... poles apart they are). I somehow find Maa Bachchan most sensible as compared to Pa, Bahu and Baby. (Somehow I feel that Pa Bahu and Baby (amit,Ash,abhi) are not genuine and they always have some ulterior motive behind their actions. )
A wednesday... haan reviews are good... but I am an Atheist, I dont believe in Film Critics
(lol, I mean people take film critics ka word as the gospel truth, huhhh...)
Still I will watch this movie and give Ek Ladki.... my review.
Thanks to you and your blog De, I am also making naya blog-dosts. :-)

Chalo Jaya's Bacchhan's itch has been scratched. What she was dying say was said. Not wise according to me. Frankly mooh phat, so forgive all, doesent impress me. Particularly not under her circumstances. Still she makes her bed everyday and she will figure out how to sleep in it. Both Raj and she are big boys and girls. One is buddhi one is a buddha. Neither of whom remind me much of a gudda/guddi. So there you have it!
Does a higher court vindicating Hussain mean much? Janta ki Adaalat and all that! He is also deliberately provocative but the difference is that he is man enough to stand up to it without any political agenda or axe to grind. I admire him for that. Not for his great artistic skill. Bassssss. I am all for an Artists freedom of expression, so his pictures did not offend me. But if they offended others, they have every right to protest BUT peacefully. Yehin toh MNS dhaakaa kha jaat hai!
As for one side being fundamentalist and the other side being not... hmmmmm.... just hmmmmm. Degrees of fundamentalism may differ, but sensitivity to "others sentiment" does not. They just put in different words and in different social ambiances. I have my reasons to say that.
Too bad about A Wednesday! I was just about to put it on my netflix list.
Meanwhile I saw the most brilliant but chilling film on DVD this weekend. The Lives of Others.
I saw it with some friends who grew up in behind the Iron Curtain around that time. Very sobering despite the good beer, grey goose and bratwurst on hand. See it if you can.

Sorry De' I disagree with both your views this time... to each his own. Being a public figure, as Jaya is, she knows better than to make such smart ass comments. Didn't she do this blooper once in the past, and then later had to apologize? Learn from your mistakes I say! And, AK said it perfectly, being Mooh-Phat doesn't justify it.
Raj Thakrey, I agree with Aham, is a Daaku, he waits on such bloopers to bank his political agenda. The Marathi card has been OVER played by MNS, I feel. In this case, as AK had said earlier, both parties deserve each other. If one cannot hold her tongue, then the other cannot hold his actions. It's all a matter of opinion whether each comment was below or above the belt. Blows have been cast, each party is injured in many-a-eyes!
Now as far as A Wednesday is concerned, I really liked the movie. Cinema doesn't always have to send a message, sometimes it can be a tale to tell, simple! Those who will get provoked by it are too immature anyway. The point of the movie was, this could happen because even the "common man" gets effected by such things, though uninvolved. Agreed, characters like the tv-reporter and CM were pathetic, but who cares? The characters that mattered were awesome. Music score, I didn't pay attention to much, but then again I never do!
The movie seemed amatuerish because this WAS Neeraj's first movie! Imagine the potential! I thought the overall camera work, editing, screenplay was above average when you compare to some of the crap that's coming out from these well established so called directors.
I feel, one should think outside the box... see the whole picture per-say. Imagine what the other was trying to say, perhaps try to understand his viewpoint. I liked it, so AK-NYC, do see it! Don't take De's word on it, or mine... give us your honest opinion.
As for you De' we agreed to disagree here, correct? This is not an anticipatory bail, just a healthy argument on viewpoints. This time we don't see it eye to eye. I calls it POETAYTOE... you calls it POTATO ;-)

We love to make storms in the proverbial teacup!!
The Thackerays are specialists in the same - they're like SMEs (subject matter experts)
Now I've lived most of my life in Mumbai and call myself a Mumbaikar - even though I work and live in Delhi. It doesn't take away anything from Delhi or make Mumbai greater.
So if Jay is from UP and King Khan is from Dillliii... how does it really matter. I mean it's not going to change the country, its problems won't go away.
Yes Mr.T can divert our minds for a bit - dats all.
- September 10, 2008 at 9:03 AM
Kowing well that we live in dangerous times where might normally is proven right time and again, Jaya has yet to learn who can get away with some brazen comments and who cannot. Well, she cannot because the Bachchan family has flaunted their UP colours once too often, needlessly. Why can these Bollywood folk not be plain simple Maharashtrians by virtue of living in this state? Moral of the story- Tickets to Rajya Sabha or membership of political party cannot transform an actor, dancer, artist etc. into an astute politician. They are what they are- entertainers. Period!

you are writing nonsense. being a socialite does not mean u can write anything.
- September 10, 2008 at 9:47 AM
she has not only committed a galti she has also shown great disrespect to the ppl of maharashtra.
it is sad that you do not consider yourself to be a maharashtrian and do not have pride as such.

I say now where are the intelligentia of Mumbai? why dont they speak up now? why Raj thackerey is given so much importance in the papers, how is he differnet from the separatist propaganda of kashmir. Wy make them outlaws and he is a prom inent politician, a person who is trying to divide the nation and its people---what should we call him? Not that i like bacchan family any more than him, but here its a question of national unity.

mumbai belongs to its citizens. anybody who lives in mumbai and loves mumbai is a true mumbaikar and a true marathi. period. i am a south indian born and brought up in maharashtra, particularly in mumbai. i speak better marathi than more maharashtrians. but i talk to my mahatashtrian friends in hindi only as it is my national language. nobody can stop me from exercising that fundamental right. if the MNS wants non-marathi speaking people out of Mumbai, I pity him because he's losing his marbles for sure. And I am not going anywhere. Vishay samplaa.

I don't know what to say about the Jaya Bacchan incident. But I know that whatever is it that you criticize about 'A Wednesday', if you can watch Singh Is Kinnnggg for Akshay, I can watch 'A Wednesday' for Naseer.

renu, the so called intellegentia including the writer of this blog, will always find ways to humiliate others who are not so favorably placed to give their comments on blogs.
why are they treating thackarays as beating boys? Dont they have a right to expect respect for their state and their people?
- September 10, 2008 at 7:00 PM
I think Jaya Bhaduri has made a very irresponsible statement. What if each person starts insisting on speaking only in their respective mother tongue could he or she be justified? I wonder what happens to our national integration. I think Raj Thackrey has a point although it must be made gracefully and democratically.
- September 10, 2008 at 10:01 PM
if you have no pride in maharashtra and maharashtrians, would you like to shift to allahabad where bachahans and amar and mulayam singhs will make everything to make life comfortable in the typical UP-an way.
- September 11, 2008 at 9:49 AM
How can you say inidrectly that you are not parochial but nationalist?
ppl who have pride in their own state in the first place, can have pride in their nation.
- September 11, 2008 at 12:35 PM
When Raj made the statement that Jaya is a guddi who became a buddi - did he think that he belonged to a select crowd who remained young forever. You mean he is never going to become a budda!!!What nonsense!
- September 12, 2008 at 9:09 AM
MP- J.B is entitled to an opinion, which, she may have liked to keep private like the rest of us sometimes do using the better part of our discretion. What she's proven time and again, is how both she and the MNS make for the perfect bedfellows with their on the fly histrionics and socially reckless, juvenile comments.
That she is a bad case of sebum over-production is common knowledge but the fact that she has it in her to make the cut for the MNS cadre is something few Marathi people seem to willingly want to acknowledge.

Well its all said and done...but I dont think Jaya bacchan said any against maharashtrans, so there was no point to react. Even priyanka chopra said the same thing why was she not targetted? It was all personal, n Raj Thackrey needed a reason to target bacchans.
- September 19, 2008 at 12:48 PM
Ms. De! I have been reading your blogs and have forced myself many a times from commenting about the extent to which i disagreed with your thinking. People read your blog because you are a celebrity, devoid of your celeb status noone would give a rip about what you thought. And I must say you have some cheeks to write people off left and right with your ultimate judgement.
I watched Wednesday too. And i belive it was a very honest attempt. Definitely not the response you gave it. I wonder what your credibility is to write people and movies and everything around you off.
I remember a passage from Protima Bedi's autobiography where she had written not so good things about you. that was more interesting! I gues its De time now!De is here and De will devour. De is absolutely prejudiced and hating. De needs compassion! God help De.

Ahead of some very exciting new pictures one more "catching-up-post". Around the release of the music video for Lady Dior Marion Cotillard was featured in the April issue of Vogue Paris. The interview is mostly about music and how it has always helped her to get in character while filming. Interestingly, Marion used Debbie Harry of Blondie as inspiration and model to be able to portray a rock singer in the recent music video.
Her favourite music artists are among others MGMT, Yodelice, Izia, Radiohead, Otis Redding, U2, Bowie, Franz Ferdinand, Regina Spektor, Hawksley Workman, Pixies.

Kindly do not redistribute the magazine scans at another Marion Cotillard fan site as they were scanned exclusively for 'Magnifique Marion Cotillard'. Thank you.
I also added the 2 songs from Marion's movies Edy (2005) and Une affaire privée (2002) to the Songs Page.
This reminded me of Marion's iTunes Celebrity Playlist I never updated about. Unfortunately, I can't post a direct link as I have no access to the US Store of iTunes. But here's the information:

Step 5:
State-Operated Arbitration
State arbitration is a process that is available to you and the manufacturer in a Lemon Law dispute. Each of the parties is allowed to present its side of the story in a structured but informal manner. You, as the consumer, have the burden of convincing the arbitration panel that you, your vehicle and the defect are covered by the law, that you followed all the required steps, and that you are entitled to either the repurchase or replacement of your vehicle.
To be eligible, you must submit the completed application form to Georgia Department of Law's Consumer Protection Division within one (1) year of the expiration of your Lemon Law rights period, or within 60 days from the conclusion of a certified informal dispute program proceeding, whichever occurs later. Call for an application from Georgia Department of Law's Consumer Protection Division at 404-651-9397; complete and return it as soon as possible. Remember, you can only request state-operated arbitration if you have completed the applicable steps.
Along with your application, Georgia Department of Law's Consumer Protection Division requires certain documents from you to verify your preliminary eligibility for a state-run arbitration hearing. Be sure to attach copies (not the originals) of any documents that help prove your claim. Keep your original documents, as you will need them for your hearing.
Georgia Department of Law's Consumer Protection Division will review the application to determine whether you have met the requirements and, if so, will submit your application to a state-operated arbitration panel. If Georgia Department of Law's Consumer Protection Division finds problems with your application, we will notify you.
If you submit a timely application after completing the previous steps and your dispute is deemed eligible for state arbitration, you should know that:
- If you leased your new motor vehicle, you will have to notify the leasing company (to whom you are making payments) that your dispute was accepted for state arbitration. The panel will send you information on this requirement and a form for you to complete and mail to the leasing company.
- An arbitration hearing will be scheduled at a reasonably convenient location within 40 days from the date your dispute was deemed eligible. The panel will notify you of the time, date and location of the hearing. The hearing will be held within 120 miles of your residence, if you reside in Georgia.
- Either one arbitrator or three arbitrators will be assigned to hear your case. The arbitrator will either be an attorney licensed to practice law in Georgia or an individual with at least two years' experience in professional arbitration or dispute resolution. The arbitrator will not be affiliated with the manufacture, distribution, sale, lease or servicing of motor vehicles.
- Between the time your application is submitted and the hearing takes place, you and the manufacturer must exchange information on state-approved forms. Georgia Department of Law's Consumer Protection Division will furnish you these forms, including instructions and deadlines.
- At your hearing, you will need to bring all relevant documents. You are not required to have an attorney present, although this is permissible. You may bring witnesses. A representative of the vehicle manufacturer will be present and may present evidence. Your vehicle should be present for the arbitrator(s) to observe the defect or condition if needed.
If the arbitration decision is in your favor:
- You will be awarded your choice of either a repurchase or a replacement of your vehicle.
- If the award is a replacement vehicle, you will also receive incidental costs, if applicable (see Step 3 for specific details regarding a replacement vehicle).
- If the award is a repurchase, you will also receive collateral charges and, if applicable, incidental costs, minus a deduction for use (see Step 3 for specific details regarding a refund to you).
- It is within the discretion of the arbitrator(s) to award you attorney's fees and expert witness costs.
- The manufacturer has (30 days to either appeal the decision or 40 days to comply with it.
If the arbitration decision is in favor of the manufacturer, no remedy will be awarded and your case against the manufacturer will be dismissed.
What to Do Next
- If the decision is in your favor and the manufacturer complies with it, the process is complete. If the manufacturer does not appeal the decision and fails to comply with it within the 40-day period, contact Georgia Department of Law's Consumer Protection Division at 404-651-9396.
- If the manufacturer appeals a decision in your favor, the decision is admissible in evidence. At this point, your dispute moves from arbitration to the judicial system and you should retain a private attorney to represent you. If you prevail in court, your recovery will include the arbitrator's award and all costs and charges you incurred as a result of the appeal, including expert witness fees, attorney's fees and court costs.
- If the decision is not in your favor, you have 30 days to appeal it in superior court. The decision is admissible in evidence. Should you seek an appeal, it is recommended that a private attorney represent you.
- If the decision is not in your favor and you do not appeal, the Lemon Law process has ended for the arbitrated defect or condition.

A timetable for construction of the $137 million M-1 Rail streetcar line on Detroit's Woodward Avenue will be "announced in the coming weeks," project organizers said Tuesday after the City Council unanimously approved the required construction and operating agreements.
Utility and other preconstruction work began late last year and has continued on what will be a 3.3-mile grade-level, mostly curbside loop with 11 stops between West Grand Boulevard and Congress Street.
However, a formal groundbreaking and construction schedule hasn't been set, or at least made public. It was expected to occur this spring, but news emerged recently that the nonprofit M-1 organization was juggling funding to cover a reported $12 million shortfall in construction money.
M-1 CEO Matt Cullen has denied the project is in jeopardy and has said it will use money originally earmarked for operations instead for construction, if necessary, and that construction will proceed as planned.
The project is using a blend of public and private contributions to build the streetcar line. Additional federal funding is being sought to help cover construction.
M-1 hasn't made its budget available to the public.
The goal is to have the line operating by 2016.
M-1 also said today it soon will launch a public information campaign to "prepare residents, businesses and patrons throughout the Woodward corridor for upcoming construction."
Portions of Woodward will be closed during construction over the next two years.
Alameda, Calif.-based civil construction firm Stacy and Witbeck Inc. was hired by M-1 last year as the project's construction manager and general contractor.
Detroit-based White Construction Co. has been subcontracted by Stacy and Witbeck to help build the line.
Future M-1 bids will include an estimated $9.5 million for construction of a vehicle storage and maintenance facility, and a contract for a private-sector vendor to operate and maintain the streetcar system at an estimated $5.5 million annually.

- be patient and let it dry completely before the next step,
- use plastic sheet (or cellophane) instead of some paper or kitchen foil, due to paper fast absorption,
- choose sponge with small holes because of the dabbing ...
I`m not into nail art at all, i like to keep them short and even painting them is a pretty hard-non liking thing for me! ;) But i gotta admit, i really like this Ombre, dip dye effect, especially with these ocean shades, and it`s perfect for summer!
If you make your own version, i would love to see it! Upload it on FB page, or leave a link in your comment! :)
p.s. my nails are not perfect, so don`t judge them too hard, i love to bake and to clean my bathtub! ;)

Teamwork is key to Civil Rights Appellate Clinic in amici curiae brief to SCOTUS
Teamwork is key to Civil Rights Appellate Clinic in amici curiae brief to SCOTUS
The National Employment Lawyers Association (NELA) asked the Penn State Law Civil Rights Appellate Clinic to draft an amici curiae brief in University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center v. Nassar, set for argument on April 24 before the Supreme Court; what surprised even clinic students was the number of other organizations that signed onto the brief: 18.
"This case involved a very complicated legal issue that we grappled with in the clinic and in our employment law courses," said clinic student Asima Ahmad, who is also a managing editor for the Penn State Journal of Law and International Affairs. "We were expecting to get a lot of pushback and edits on our brief from other organizations, and would have been happy with just a few groups agreeing to sign on." Ahmad and fellow students Jordan Johnston, Alison Renfrew and Kathryn Steffen were proud to learn that 19 organizations in all signed on to the brief, including The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, AARP, the American Association for Justice, the Anti-Defamation League, Friends of Farmworkers, Gender Justice, The Legal Aid Society – Employment Law Center, National Employment Law Project and the National Partnership for Women & Families.
"The issues in the case have vexed even the most experienced employment lawyers for many years," said Rebecca Hamburg Cappy, NELA program director. "Yet, the Clinic's students were extremely conscientious, hard-working and able to distill these complex principles. Overall, it was a genuine pleasure to work with them and professor Foreman."
An Issue of Causation
The retaliation provision of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is the crux of the case; at issue is what an employee must prove to show unlawful retaliation when the employer has multiple motives for an adverse employment action. The court must decide whether a plaintiff must show either but-for causation (i.e. that the employer would not have taken an adverse employment action but for this reason) or mixed motive for an adverse reaction (i.e. that an improper motive was one of several reasons for the employment action).
The students think this case could be a game-changer for workers in the United States. "Currently, the circuits are split as to the proper controlling precedent. There is a recent Supreme Court decision in Gross v. FBL Financial Services holding that "but-for" causation applies to similar statutory language in the ADEA, which is designed to protect workers from age discrimination. One of the questions now is whether the Gross decision also controls the interpretation of Title VII's retaliation provision," said Johnston, who is also articles editor for the Penn State Journal of Law and International Affairs.
"The issue has been a substantial source of confusion for district and circuit courts since the Gross v. FBL Financial Services decision in 2009," said Kathryn Steffen, who is an associate editor of the Penn State Journal of Law and International Affairs.
About the Clinic
The Civil Rights Appellate clinic was established in 2008 and has filed eight amici briefs with the Supreme Court. The clinic has also filed three petitions for certiorari, and had one granted and argued last year by the clinic's director, professor Michael Foreman.

The Post-Castro Era Is Today
Author: Julia E. Sweig, Nelson and David Rockefeller Senior Fellow for Latin America Studies and Director for Latin America Studies
January 30, 2013, Folha de Sao Paulo
The post-Castro era in Cuba has arrived. But its main architect is Raul Castro. His reform agenda does not have the formulaic recitations of a political science textbook or the guidelines of an IMF structural adjustment program. No multiparty elections. No Starbucks, Walmart, or Burger King. Not much independent media. But little by little Cuba is undergoing a significant transformation in the basic expectations Cuban citizens have of the state, and vice versa. Lula's visit this week may focus on Venezuela, but all around him Cuba is becoming a freer, more open, and yes, more democratic society.
Earlier this month, a new law took effect that eliminates restrictions on travel for almost everyone: Cubans no longer need pay exorbitant fees or await the "tarjeta blanca"—state permission—to travel. Now, they need only a visa, like the rest of the world. And if they want to live and work abroad, Cubans will no longer lose their property or residence status: a big step forward for freedom and human rights, and a potential economic boon as well.
Business and profit are no longer dirty words. Senior officials project that with new laws and regulations empowering small businesses, within five years fully 50 percent of the economy will be in private, non-state hands. Under the new rules, individuals and cooperatives can now hire employees, obtain bank financing, procure inputs from wholesale markets, and turn a profit. There are myriad problems for sure: but these are increasingly of a practical, not ideological nature, more about the need to build capacity and experience, whereas before the private sector was viewed as a necessary evil. Now this new space has legitimacy and legality.
A progressive tax system is also taking shape. This is not a mere technical adjustment. With the new decentralization, state and municipal government will raise and spend their budgets from tax revenue collected at the base, with the federal government paying a much reduced slate of costs—mainly education, health and defense. Cubans are used to getting everything for free. The notion that they will work, pay taxes, and receive health, education and a pension but not much more, represents a radical political shift.
Next month Raul Castro begins his second and very likely final five-year term as president of the Cuban republic. The slate of candidates represents a big demographic and political step forward. Some 67 percent of the candidates for 612 seats are completely new picks, and of these, more than 70 percent were born after 1959. Women comprise 49 percent of the candidates and Afro descendants 37 percent. Cuban voters will be asked to check yea or nay from this new list, so it's not a direct competition. But if you want to understand where the successors to the post post-Castro era may come from, I'd look at this new group.

Akrapovic SLIP-ON STREET LEGAL EXHAUST SYSTEM for the R 1150 GS (2003)
The Akrapovic SLIP-ON system is the first level of exhaust system tuning, and is therefore relatively simple to install. It is composed of a muffler and a link pipe.
The link pipe for the BMW R 1150 GS is made of high-quality stainless steel, while the tubes are cylindrical in section. The joint with the header assembly is a free-floating connection held together with a metal clamp. The stock temperature shield for the legs is used. At the other end, the link pipe and the muffler are welded together in a fixed connection.
The muffler is round instead of oval section, in order to conform with the use of the stock temperature shield for the legs.
The outer sleeve of the muffler is available exclusively in titanium. The muffler is attached to the motorcycle using an Akrapovic double carbon-fiber clamp, which holds the muffler tightly in place and withstands the physical forces of riding.
Measurements of the Akrapovic SLIP-ON system on the BMW:
Power: Up to 4000 rpm the Akrapovic curve matches the stock curve, after which the Akrapovic curve goes past the stock curve and stays there right to the red line. At 6600 rpm the engine supplies the rear wheel with 81 HP.
Torque: A slight drop-out can be seen only in the range from 2700 to 3200 rpm. The extra torque will be welcome especially because of the character and purpose of the motorcycle, and will be highly valued by GS owners.
In addition to aesthetic and power enhancement, the Akrapovic system also offers the GS added weight savings. Although the bike itself is not light, the weight savings of 3.64 kg will be appreciated.

Miami falls to Buffalo on last-second field goal
Patrick Clarke kicked a 47-yard field goal as time expired to propel Buffalo to a 27-24 victory over Miami University on Saturday.
Miami's Zac Dysert threw a 5-yard touchdown pass to Nick Harwell to tie the game at 24 with 23 seconds remaining, but Devin Campbell returned the kickoff 47 yards to the Redhawks' 35-yard line.
After one running play, Clarke kicked the game-winner.
The teams were tied 3-3 at the half but combined to score 45 points after the break.
Branden Oliver rushed for 199 yards and one touchdown for the Bulls (2-7, 1-4 Mid-American Conference), and Joe Licata, in his first start while subbing for injured Alex Zordich, threw two touchdown passes.
Dysert, who passed Ben Roethlisberger as Miami's all-time leading passer, threw for 242 yards and three touchdowns for the Redhawks (4-5, 3-2), all of them to Harwell, who caught 10 passes.

Inter-Orthodox consultation begins discussion on the nature of the church
A week-long inter-Orthodox consultation with the aim of studying the Faith and Order document "The Nature and Mission of the Church" began its work on Thursday 3 March in Ayia Napa, Cyprus. The aim of the consultation is to offer distinctly Orthodox insights as part of a world-wide discussion of the doctrine of the Church, or "ecclesiology". The gathering is hosted by the Orthodox Church of Cyprus.
Nearly forty participants from Eastern and Oriental Orthodox Churches, church leaders, university professors, theologians, men and women as well as youth, most of whom are members of the World Council of Churches (WCC) Commission on Faith and Order, will discuss the document and produce a common Orthodox response to this important theological text.
After a Te Deum celebrated by Archbishop Chrysostomos II of Cyprus in the historic monastery of Ayia Napa, Metropolitan Prof. Dr Gennadios of Sassima, co-moderator of the consultation, expressed gratitude to the archbishop for his generous hospitality, extended regularly to inter-Orthodox and ecumenical gatherings, and highlighted the archbishop's life-long struggle to overcome dividing lines, in his own country and elsewhere in the world.
Unfortunately, Metropolitan Gennadios added, "walls of separation and division still exist in the world and one of our priorities as Orthodox is to continue our struggle for peace, reconciliation and friendship among peoples and nations."
Archbishop Chrysostomos underlined the importance of the theme. "Orthodox theology is primarily ecclesiological," he said. "Christianity cannot be understood except as the church".
By his incarnation, the archbishop continued, Christ made all human beings part of his own body. Orthodox contributions to ecumenical theological reflection consist in the fact that Orthodoxy, rather than defending a "confessional" interpretation of ecclesiology, shares the existential experience of the church.
Rev. Dr Olav Fykse Tveit, the WCC general secretary, expressed appreciation both to Archbishop Chrysostomos for his hospitality, which is a tangible sign of his ecumenical commitment, and to Metropolitan Dr Vasilios of Constantia-Ammochostos, moderator of the Faith and Order Commission, for hosting the consultation in his diocese and for his many contributions to the work of Faith and Order.
The general secretary referred to the work of the Special Commission on Orthodox Participation in the WCC a decade ago and stressed the Orthodox contribution to both ecclesiological reflection in general and to the ecclesial character of the fellowship of the World Council of Churches in particular.
The general secretary concluded by reminding participants of the forthcoming peace convocation in Kingston, Jamaica. "Our task will be to affirm that we aim at being one, so that the world may believe that a just peace is possible. We know that in this island there is a struggle for justice and peace. It is as part of our journey towards unity and common witness that we participate in this struggle."

Text presented in a web document shall be created in such a manner that the web viewer can adjust the text size to promote readability.
When image maps are used as a navigational element in the page, client side image maps shall be used (instead of server-side image maps) in conjunction with alt tags to provide text equivalents for those using assistive technologies.
When tables are used to present data (as opposed to create design), markup shall be used to designate the relationships between the rows, columns and cells in a table for web viewers using assistive technologies.
Frames used on the UNT web site shall be created using techniques that facilitate frame identification and navigation including the use of the "title=" attribute inside of the <frame> tag.
The use of animated content on a web site (animated gifs, plug-ins, or other technologies) requires that the page be evaluated to make sure that people with disabilities are not adversely affected and that the information is still accessible.
A text-only page of web content shall be created and maintained only when a web page cannot comply through any other means. The text-only version shall be updated when the regular page content is updated.
When scripting languages (javascript, vbscript, java, etc) are used to convey essential information or to create navigation or interface elements, functional text shall be used to convey equivalent information.
When plug-ins are required in order to display information, it is the responsibility of the web developer to make sure that the plug-in and the plug-in's content comply with assistive technologies or to provide the web viewer with alternative content that is accessible. The web developer must also link to the download location of the plug-in on the pages that require the plug-ins to be installed.
Electronic forms designed to be completed online shall be designed so that all input fields, cues and directions are available to those using assistive technologies. This includes making sure that the titles or descriptions of input fields can be read in an order that clearly identifies the information being requested for each form elements.
A method shall be provided that permits users to skip repetitive navigation links.
When a timed response is required, the user shall be alerted and given sufficient time to indicate more time is required.
To improve the accessibility of all UNT web sites, all new and updated web sites should be tested on multiple browsers and platforms.

This year, Project Ethos partnered with Downtown LA Art Walk and kicked off fashion week Thursday, October 11, 2012 with a mixture of fashion, music and art, giving the fashion community, fans and media the chance to get up close and personal at the Exchange nightclub on S Spring street downtown Los Angeles. Dj Rob Rockwell warmed up the crowd while fashionistas were able to take their seats or enjoy the view from the upstairs balcony. The show opened with emerging designer Jose Galeana whose collection with its bright reds, blues and violets seems fresh and retro inspired.
Next up was the young Marialia collection, a Barbie and Rock star inspired collection which with its glitter gold bikini, super short flirty dresses, theatrical bustier and provocative booty shorts saying "bite me" or "kiss my" struck me as ready to wear during this Halloween season.
Jennifer Krischer with her line Linden shows a bit more classic lines and restraint, showing interestingly cut jackets paired with 50is style bras tops and high-waist shorts and tight pants.
Nine Menswear followed and proved with its casual red pajama looking pants paired with fashion forward sweaters and their black and white underwear collection that men can be fashionable and cool dressing casual every day.
B. by Aperire rounded off this set of designers with their outrageous and daring footwear collection getting a very welcoming reaction from the audience.
During the break one could enjoy a sprawling art experience in the downstairs gallery featuring live painting and pop up gallery with Tanina Jackson, INDEPTH, Max Neutra, Mark Jacobs, James Rhodimer and Amy Baca López while the rotund main room hosted the Icelandic pop group The Charlies.
Kiki Resort wear opened the second set with colorful cover ups caftans and tunics this season dazzling the runway.
Talented, Columbian Designer, Claudia Gonzalez Pruitt, creator of Beso Moda, 'The Endless Feeling' launched her latest collection, "Vanity" just in time to showcase it at fashion week.
Lawren Michele followed with her classic feminine line, evoking romance and playful fun fitting all women with a splash of energy and fun. The brand encompasses clothing fitted to all women.
Last but not least was Collective26 showcasing the latest collection of their urban contemporary women's line with some beautiful dresses, authentic under garments and fashion forward skirts all worn with combat boots. The line stands out and embodies a modern aesthetic mixed with bohemian and grunge elements that are very characteristic for our present time.

MONTREAL — The Charbonneau Commission resumed hearings this week, facing immediate upheaval over issues of witness credibility and publication bans.
But the larger problem with the inquiry is starting to look conceptual, having to do with what it can and cannot investigate.
Martin Dumont, a former Union Montreal staffer, was back on the stand on opening day Monday to answer to accusations that he gave false testimony to the inquiry last fall. And proceedings on Wednesday were coloured by uncertainty over whether or not a publication ban relating to information about former executive committee chairman Frank Zampino should be allowed to stand. But against this backdrop, the commission's core mandate is emerging as a key issue that needs to be resolved.
In a three-part series of stories by The Gazette's Linda Gyulai published last Thursday through Saturday, Jean Fortier, who was executive committee chairman before Zampino, revealed that he was the object of bribes and other illegal manoeuvring for public contracts while he was former mayor Pierre Bourque's right-hand man. And a lot of the time, he said, the attempts to corrupt him revolved around decisions relating to real-estate sales and zoning changes and other matters — not just the public-works contracts preoccupying the work of the Charbonneau Commission.
Fortier said he made it clear in a private overture to the Charbonneau Commission that he has something to say about the history and breadth of collusion and corruption in Montreal municipal affairs. But as he told The Gazette, he has not been invited to testify, nor has he been interviewed by any of its investigators. The problem, he said, is that the commission's mandate is too narrow. His information doesn't fit into the mandate. The commission's mandate, in brief, is to investigate organized-crime infiltration of the construction industry and identify illegal methods used to obtain public construction contracts. There is no provision to probe allegations of bribery and other criminal activity not strictly related to construction. That's a problem, Fortier contends, and he is right.
Fortier says he was offered bundles of cash, extravagant gifts and the open-ended promise of favours in return for access to his political power. He claims the offers poured in from fellow city councillors, developers, lobbyists and businessmen, including at least one businessman with links to organized crime. When he rejected those offers, he said, he became the object of threats, blackmail and other forms of intimidation, as did people close to him.
It's instructive that Fortier's first-hand accounts of graft and bribery came before the embattled provincial Liberals were at the helm, and before former mayor Gérald Tremblay's Union Montreal dominated city hall. They occurred when Vision Montreal ran Montreal city hall and the Parti Québécois — under Lucien Bouchard and later Bernard Landry — was in power in Quebec City.
Fortier's revelations suggest that the Charbonneau Commission can only do so much with the mandate it has, in terms of shedding full light on collusion and corruption. Limiting the commission's focus to the Mafia and other criminal gangs, and to contracts for sewer pipes and road paving and the like, is not enough. It is a good start, but not sufficient.
The Marois government needs to make sure that people like Fortier can get a full hearing in an appropriate public forum. The government therefore should either tweak the mandate of the commission and reorganize the way it should work, or else create some sort of side pocket to the commission for depositions pertaining to non-construction-related allegations of collusion and corruption that could be studied in some subsequent inquiry.

Lexington Medical Center Opens New Sleep Lab in Northeast Columbia
Having trouble getting a good night's sleep or staying awake during the day? Lexington Sleep Solutions may have a remedy for you that's close to home. The Lexington Medical Center physician practice has just opened a third sleep lab in Northeast Columbia. The new sleep lab is located within the Palmetto Family Medicine building at 109 Barton Creek Court, Suite A in Columbia. Lexington Sleep Solutions now has locations in West Columbia, Irmo and Northeast Columbia.
With a sleep study, Lexington Sleep Solutions clinicians can diagnose conditions including hypersomnia, insomnia, narcolepsy, periodic limb movement disorder, restless leg syndrome, sleep apnea and snoring.
Lexington Sleep Solutions has accreditation from the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. To qualify, the practice had to meet all standards for professional health care as designated by AASM. The accreditation process included a detailed inspection of the center's facilities and staff, an evaluation of testing procedures, and ongoing assessments of physician training.
The Lexington Sleep Solutions physician office is open Monday – Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. All of the sleep lab locations perform scheduled studies at night and provide scheduled day studies, home sleep test set-ups and actigraphy set-ups during business hours.
During an overnight sleep study, each patient stays in a private bedroom that's equipped to monitor and record breathing, heart rate, oxygen levels and brain wave activity during sleep. A camera observes sleep throughout the night and provides useful diagnostic information. The sleep study results are analyzed and an appointment will be scheduled to review results and determine what treatment is necessary.
Each patient's care is supervised by a physician who is board certified in sleep medicine. Lexington Sleep Solutions' physicians are Clarence Coker, III, MD; Sarkis Derderian, DO; Paul Kirschenfeld, MD; Christopher Marshall, MD; Mohamed Soliman MD and Francis Dayrit, MD, FCCP.
The average adult needs eight hours of uninterrupted sleep each night. Signs that you're not getting enough sleep include irritability, difficulty staying awake while watching TV or reading, difficulty paying attention at work or in school, memory problems and using caffeine to stay awake.

I have been working on my On A Whim blocks in Vintage Modern. I constructed all of the components of the blocks in a chain piecing frenzy and just needed to square them up. Even with a new blade in my rotary cutter, as I mentioned in last weeks post, it has been boring work. So to break the monotony I decided to square up enough to allow me to complete two blocks at a time so it's been a little bit of slicing and a bit of sewing and that has been much more satisfying.
I have been pinning everything as I go in order to ease in the set in squares of the Rolling Star block because, not for love nor money could I get these babies square! No matter what I did they were 5.5 on one side and 5.75 on the other. Enter Clover pins and the magical potion that is Mary Ellen's Best Press and I made them bend to my iron will and here they are all straight and square and hanging on my clothes line looking pretty.
I also finished the binding on my Butterfly Quilt.
You may remember that I pinned this beauty and shamelessly made one exactly the same with Mum's Accuquilt Go! Baby, because I loved it so much. All I need now is for someone to have a baby girl....come on Alexis McKay - you can do it!
I did a simple pieced backing, mainly because there wasn't quite enough width in a standard piece of Moda Bella Solid to go on the longarm. Fortunately I had some Bliss by Bonnie and Camille left over from this quilt and it blended in beautifully with the colours in Marmalade.
There was a small drama with this quilt.....I had left in on my lounge suite where I was sitting binding it and this evil genius (don't be fooled by his angelic face)....
As usual I am linking up with Lee at Freshly Pieced. Click below to head over and see what everyone else has been up to.

Brother: Stabbing suspect not in 'right mind'
Capitol police Officer Greg Friberg stabbed twice in neck
A Capitol police officer is recovering after being stabbed in the neck at the state office building in downtown Milwaukee on Wednesday afternoon.
WISN 12 News learned the officer is 66-year-old Greg Friberg, a 10-year veteran of the Capitol Police Department and former New Berlin police officer.
Only on WISN 12 News, reporter Nick Bohr talked to the suspect's family, who said there's a lot more to the story.
As Milwaukee police secured the scene of the stabbing at the state office building, the 25-year-old suspect was heading to his mom's house in West Allis.
"I'm devastated, totally devastated and shocked about the whole thing," the suspect's mother, Jennifer said.
"He's had issues psychologically for a while, and I think that if he's on proper medication he's a great guy, but when he doesn't get medicated the right way, it tends to throw him off the handle," said Travis, the suspect's brother.
WISN 12 News is not naming the suspect or using his family's last name because he hasn't been charged, but his family said he didn't have a grudge with the state and don't know what pushed him to stab Friberg twice in the neck.
The suspect's brother said he simply refused to take his medication for his mental illness.
"It does have symptoms that include hallucinations, that includes hearing voices. It includes other things, and it's a disease. And once it's treated, he doesn't have those symptoms," Travis said.
The suspect has been living on the streets, but showed up Wednesday night and gave no indication anything had happened until police arrived and arrested him.
His mom said he still had the large kitchen knife he'd taken earlier from her apartment, though she didn't know it at the time.
"I sincerely apologize because I didn't know he was going to do such a thing. I hate that he did such a thing," Jennifer said.
"I totally apologize on his behalf, him being my brother. He's not that type of person. He doesn't want to hurt anybody. But he's not in his right state of mind right now, so to the families, we send our deepest prayers to you guys. It was unintentional, and if he was in his right state of mind, he would not have done something like this," Travis said.
The suspect has an outstanding municipal citation for battery from last year but no criminal record. He's being held without bail.
Gov. Scott Walker talked about the officer Thursday during an event in Sturtevant.
"(I) talked to him and his family last night. Talked to his wife and his son. He's in reasonably good condition considering what he went through. Stable, but we were concerned for a while just because of the severity of the attack," Walker said.
The governor also has an office in the state building.

Last nite, I was reading one of the blogs, and someone called paulie a whore for helping to get Barr on the ballot, when he's not a supporter of the nominee.

BTW, paulie said "Thank you."
p] Actually, I'm both a slut and a whore. For instance, I got Barr on the ballot in Arkansas for free. To make matters even worse, I didn't even know it was for Barr at the time, since he wasn't nominated yet and hadn't even announced, so I guess that makes me a glory hole slut to boot, in addition to being a whore.
Also, I'm a pimp, in addition to being a slut and a whore, because I make part of my living collecting overrides for managing crews of petition gatherers sometimes. And I am in no ways faithful to the Libertarians. Right now I'm doing a three-way, and negotiating to add one or two more clients at the same time. And I'm not using a condom with any of them! I guess that makes me a dirty whore.
Not only that, but I kiss and tell: I offered to write either pro- or anti- Barr polemics to the highest bidder. I'm thinking of selling my vote, too, although I guess the buyer would just have to trust me that I stayed bought.

If you came here looking for new blog posts on obscure math, physics, and computer programming, please check out peeterjoot.com. There you will find stuff including:
- Notes from courses I am taking at UofT (part time ECE M.Eng in electromagnetics), such as Modelling of Multiphysics Systems.
- An enumeration of other things I have written, including archives of all the individual pdfs that I have posted over the years along with my blog entries. All these pdfs are now stored directly on the new site. I will no longer be posting new content to any of my (three) google sites pages, nor will I be updating anything previously posted there. If you are looking for any corrections I may or may not have made, please look at the docs anchored off of the new blog.
- A chronological listing of all the Mathematica notebooks I have written. The newest versions of these notebooks can still be found in my Mathematica github repository. A snapshot of each of these is now also available on the new site, so if you have the CDF plugin installed, these can now be examined by clicking on the links directly. Ironically, with chrome and my CDF installation, I'm able to view the .nb suffixed notebooks directly in the browser, but a click on any CDF (.cdf) notebook triggers a download?
- Some notes about my setup of the mathjax-latex plugin, and the differences in latex markup with that plugin compared to the wp-latex plugin (which is available by default on wordpress.com). My future mathematical blogging should be way easier, probably won't require any of my old tex2blog script, and will also look better!
Why a new blog?
Why after 611 blog posts on this wordpress.com hosted blog, dating all the way back to 2009, would I decide to ante-up and pay for hosting?
My primary motivation for this was truly geeky. I wanted the flexibility to be able to manage wordpress plugins (i.e. mathjax-latex and wolframcdf), and to also be able to put plain old html and arbitrary file content into the apache2 directory structure. I've wanted plain html hosting for a while, but made do with google sites (i.e. crappy but free). I'd also wanted to be able to use the wolfram CDF plugin on my blog, but also not enough to pay for it. However, once I tried mathjax-latex, I was sold. At least as a writer, compared to wp-latex, this "new way" completely kicks ass. It now takes much less time to produce posts with mathematics content, and requires far less scripting to convert from standalone latex. Unfortunately, one of the costs of this is pushed onto the reader, since it takes more time for mathjax-latex content to be formatted than the images produced by the standard wordpress latex plugin.
I tried out an amazon EC2 bitnami image for a while (amazon offers a free trial year to evaluate their offerings). That's a flexible setup and offers direct access to the Linux VM, which is very nice. However, with an amazon EC2 image, I'm not really sure what I would end up paying. The charts seem somewhat vague, depending on future usage of both machine and storage. I would also have pay separately for a domain name, and pay separately for amazon hosting of the DNS entry.
I ended up deciding to use a go-daddy hosted wordpress instance, which is a flat rate service. It is less flexible than a godaddy standalone web-hosting environment, but also cheaper ($12 for the first year, including the domain name, and ~$50/year after that). It also looks like I can upgrade this to a more generic web hosting environment later if the cost of that seems justified. I'll see first if only having sftp access to htdocs is enough of a major inconvenience to pay that additional yearly fee. EDIT: go-daddy either lied about their non-introductory rate, or increased their rates after I signed up. The renewal rates are about ~$100/year currently.
Configuring a custom MathJax configuration was a bit of a pain with only sftp access, mostly because I had to copy the MathJax tree, which was very slow for so many small files. I did that directory tree transfer with FileZilla since sftp 'put –r' appears to be busted. This MathJax setup was way easier on the EC2 since the ssh shell allowed for wget and local unzip directly from the apache2 htdocs tree. It's a shame that the mathjax-latex plugin doesn't allow the MathJax tree to be served from the default server (what the plugin settings calls the 'MathJax CDN Service'). Logically, I'd like to be able to use that CDN service, but have my configuration file hosted locally. That config file (config/default.js) is a single small file, and is likely all that I'll ever have to alter in that whole directory tree.

Van Delivery News - July 2019
The N.H. State Library will be CLOSED on Thursday, July 4, 2019 to observe Independence Day. There will be NO VAN DELIVERY on that date.
For a complete list of all of the holidays the State Library is closed, please visit http://www.nh.gov/nhsl/services/librarians/van_delivery/instructions.html (the van delivery instructions) and scroll down to "NO Van Service".
If for any other reason (e.g. bad weather) van service on a particular route(s) does not operate, libraries will be notified via an e-mail message and this blog. If your library does not receive van service on a particular day, please check your e-mail and this blog before calling the State Library.
Please remember to properly label each item which you are sending via the Van Delivery Service. This will help ensure these items make it to the correct destination in a timely manner.
If you need a refresher on how items should be marked for the van, please refer to the Van Delivery Service - Instructions, http://www.nh.gov/nhsl/services/librarians/van_delivery/instructions.html, and scroll down to number 3 of the guidelines, "Addressing material to be sent on the van".
To print a current van directory list arranged in alphabetical order by library, please use the PDF version which is available at https://www.nh.gov/nhsl/services/librarians/van_delivery/documents/vandirectoryspring2018.pdf
You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader to view and print this pdf file. If you do not have it installed on your machine, you may down load it for free from http://www.adobe.co.uk/products/acrobat/readstep2.html
Due to the ever increasing load of materials transported by the New Hampshire State Library van delivery system, our vans can reach maximum capacity before the end of a van route, especially following long weekends and holidays. Our drivers can decline to accept materials if they feel they cannot fit them safely on their van. We are also asking libraries to please be aware of volume during times when there is likely to be a problem. You should prioritize your materials to be picked up, in case some items must be left until the next van pick up. That will allow us to immediately transport the most important items as quickly as possible.
If you have any questions you may contact Diana DeCota at 271-2206.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.

I will be creating a NEW LIST of available items (books, comics, original comic art) and posting it here soon. These items will be available before going up for bid on Ebay or ComicLink or one of the other auction sites. These days, my charity work is limited to these scholarships. Wish I could do more for others but I am limited in resources.
Even if you are no longer a collector or comics or comic art, please share this blog with others on FaceBook or wherever you virtually hang out. Paty Cockrum sends her love to everyone. Gene's son Erik says hello. I say hello. And Saints Dave, Gene and Joe are looking down or sideways and giggling at how much fuss we continue to make about them.

The bridge was built in the 1980's when the Stroud bypass was constructed to provide a diversionary route for the canal, as the new road used part of the canal bed.
The bypass was constructed along part of the line of the canal between the viaduct and close to the roundabout near Waitrose. The viaduct steel bridge section is where the canal used to run.
Before New Canal Section Completed
Before Stroud Bypass Built
This was the view in 1986, not long before the present day road was constructed. Dr Newtons Way canal bridge is now just beyond the viaduct.
This photo was taken from the bridge that crossed the canal at this point to carry the towpath onto the opposite bank (see next photo).
This view looking through the railway viaduct shows the footbridge where the towpath used to cross over the canal to the other bank (more or less in line with what is now Waitrose). The towpath now crosses using Dr Newtons Way Bridge.

Get ready for a new TV channel — for your pooch.
Beginning in August, DirecTV will unleash Dog TV, a 24-hour channel aimed at dogs when their owners are out of the house.
It's billed as the first channel of its kind and launched a test version in San Diego last year that reached 483,000 homes in California's second-largest city.
The commercial-free channel set to be picked up by America's largest satellite network features short videos that relax, stimulate, and expose home-alone dogs to various movements, objects and sounds "all from a dog's point of view," according to the channel's website.
In videos on the channel's YouTube page, dogs can be seen playing with each other in a corn field and lying peacefully around with soothing music in the background.
"Regular TV is bad for dogs," Ron Levi, the founder and producer of Dog TV, told NBC's "Today" show. "It's like the Fourth of July all year round."
Levi, a cat owner in Israel, said he came up with the idea for Dog TV after seeing his cat Charlie look sad every morning he left to work.
To test the effect of the videos, Levi partnered with Tufts University in Boston to install cameras in homes where dogs were left alone for eight hours a day watching Dog TV.
The research showed dogs that watched the "mellow" animal-centric TV were calmer and happier when their owners came home.
The channel is now available in some Time Warner and Cox TV plans, and Dog TV is now selling subscriptions to their website. It will be available for DirecTV subscribers on August 1.
Levi, who doesn't own a dog himself, said his next plan is to build a "cat channel."

For the week ending 2 July 2011 / 29 Sivan 5771
A Golden Gift
A Holocaust survivor recently passed away in the Israeli coastal city of Netanya. During their condolence visit to his surviving son in Jerusalem the comforters heard a fascinating story that expressed the inextinguishable spirit of survival and faith of the Jewish People.
In a safe in the home of this Jew was a bar of gold around which was wrapped a note with the following explanation:
"Upon arriving in Eretz Yisrael after the destruction of European Jewry I wished to express my gratitude to Heaven. I therefore used the first money I earned in the Holy Land to purchase this bar of gold which I have dedicated as a gift to the Beit Hamikdash which I hope to see rebuilt in my days."

How to Fix DWTS – An Open Letter to Producers (Part 4)
This post is the 4th and final part of a series where I basically tell the producers of DWTS how they should change the show – it's for their own good. 🙂 This part is more to the audience, but also for the producers. If you want to read parts 1, 2, and 3 you can find them here:
A reminder for those easily induced into righteous indignation – this is NOT about the various couples but about the JUDGES and the Producers – I've provided examples of problems that I remember from season to season. If you get your knickers in a twist about Melissa or Shawn or Mya or Nicole or Maria, I'm not going to waste time arguing with you, I'm going to call you names (maybe to myself, maybe publicly – we'll see) and then ignore you. Keep it on topic.
I've never been one to believe in a high degree of manipulation of the show via the packages. I mean, let's face it – no one MADE Maks be an ass with half his partners. And I've had people who work on the show tell me that what you see is usually what you get. Not to mention that after many seasons on the show, these pros know if you give the producers exciting footage, they are going to USE it. So, don't be stupid. Take up the song "The Camera's really on me now" by Derek Hough and Nicole Scherzinger. And suck it up. I get that the job of the producers is to get ratings. You get ratings by getting people talking. Be it a showmance or a knock down drag out fight. If you're not smart enough to realize that camera really is recording everything you do, then it's on YOU. Maks and Hope really WERE awful, Karina and Apolo (sadly) really were stressed out and boring, and Drew and Anna were indeed too intense and serious. Read more..

DelaCruz, a Second Team All-Conference selection a year ago as a sophomore, led the Blue Devils and finished sixth in the NEC in hitting during the regular season at .352. He played and started all 53 of the Blue Devils' games this season, all in the outfield.
His 74 hits led the team and were fourth in the league. His 17 doubles put him second in the conference. His slugging percentage of .567 was also second in the league and led the team.
DelaCruz also finished tied for seventh in runs scored (42), third in triples (5), tied for second in home runs (6) and led the league in total bases (119).
