With The Sancho Panza Literary Society, we've founded an independent society of ideas--a forum for unmitigated artistic expression and vigorous debate, in residence each summer at the hauntingly beautiful and historic Trinity College Dublin (where all the ghosts speak in verse and even the architecture has pathos). Don Quixote is lauded as literature's ultimate dreamer, but his sidekick, Sancho Panza, knew that they were just tilting at windmills, and went along to explore the unknown anyway; and that is the kind of imagination that we revere, and exactly what sustains us when everything else falls away. I travelled back from Dublin this year with only one ambition—to make the rest of my career about projects like this.
Our Dublin program features ten days of writer's workshop and literary debate at Trinity, and is augmented by trips to Howth and the Irish Sea, plays at the Abbey, Gate, and Gaeity Theatres, visits to the Dublin Writer's Museum, The National Art Gallery, and the Guinness Storehouse (all within walking distance from campus), and a full day excursion to the west of Ireland to visit Galway and the Cliffs of Moher. With independent funding, we can topple the only artificial wall to membership by keeping our base tuition fee remarkably low ($300-$500), in comparison to all other literary workshops of its kind. Trinity and Dublin are the grandest places in the world to host a literary program, and being able to convene in such an ideal setting, AND do it at a price that opens the program up to all writers, would-be writers, and lovers of literature, regardless of income, is a special source of pride for our organization, and an accomplishment we can only sustain with the help of gracious benefactors. We are also planning to publish a bi-annual literary magazine called New Square (premiering Dec. 2018) that will feature groundbreaking new fiction, poetry, commentary, book, music and movie reviews.
All donations can be made via Paypal using the link Paypal.Me/SanchoTrinity, or to its affiliated email address (newsquaresubmissions@gmail.com), or by check made out to The Sancho Panza Literary Society, 16 Carleton Road, West Hartford, CT, 06107. No donations are too small; we can't exist without benefactors of all levels, and your generosity will be formally recognized and memorialized in our journal. All benefactors donating $50 or more will also receive a free subscription to New Square.
Your gift to The Sancho Panza Literary Society makes a big difference today, tomorrow, and every day!
Joseph M. Reynolds
Founding Director, The Sancho Panza Literary Society

Don't take championship away for an act of kindness
This petition made change with 147,657 supporters!
kelly hall started this petition to Iowa High School Athletic Association Jared Chizek and 2 others
On October 22nd, 2015,17-year-old Zachary Hougland sprinted across the finish line and into the record books as Davis County High School's first cross country district champion. He was thrilled. But when he turned and saw another runner from an opposing team looking pale and pained, clutching his chest, he quickly stopped celebrating.
With nobody helping the runner, Zach did what he felt any true athlete should do -- he ran back to him and helped him to the finish line. And because of this, the Iowa High School Athletic Association (IHSAA) has stripped him of his win.
Please join me in calling on the IHSAA to restore Zachary Hougland's first-place title. Good works should be rewarded, not punished.
The IHSAA claims it was only following the national rule that states you can't assist another runner. But that rule exists to prevent competitors from cheating, which Zach was certainly not doing in this case. When a rule is used to punish an act of human decency, you undermine the very sportsmanship you are trying to protect.
If Zach's win is not restored, he will miss out on his last chance to fulfill his longtime dream of competing individually in the state championship. Yet, despite the disappointment and frustration this setback has caused, he says he wouldn't take back his actions. The Iowa High School Athletic Association may have taken away Zach's victory, but it's clear they haven't diminished his courage.
The IHSAA can right its wrong before it's too late, making sure Zach gets to take his rightful place at the state championship. Let's support Zach and ask that his victory be given back to him.
Iowa High School Athletic Association: Don't take championship away for an act of kindness

100 years to the day on Saturday 1st November at 12 noon, bell ringing at St Mary's Church Bottesford, marked the centenary of a muffled peal rung to commemorate the first local and national casualties of the 1st World War.
Muffling involves strapping a leather cap to one side of the bell clapper to produce a distinctive contrast in the loudness and softness of sound.
The winter sunshine encouraged a good turn out. Nearly one hundred people attended this commemorative event organised as part of the Bottesford Parish WW1 Centenary Project. A display in the Church recorded the details of: the 1914 muffled peal; those bell ringers who served from the Tower; and the history of bell ringing at St Mary's, Bottesford. There was a brisk demand for coffee, tea and cakes on offer within the Church. Belfry tours also provided the opportunity to have a go at ringing. Over 20 tried their hand and all were invited to attend the regular Wednesday evening practices to learn how to ring. Six people took up that offer, the hope being that this will help to sustain the long tradition of ringing in the Bottesford Tower.
This event was supported by an award from the Heritage Lottery Fund.
The final 4 minutes of the muffled ringing recorded outside St Mary's Church, Bottesford.

Yep, even with all my nutritional training I've been struggling with my weight for quite some time. I keep wondering what the hell is wrong with me! Well, I just read a wonderful book called "Wheat Belly", by William Davis, MD and discovered that the grain wheat is causing problems for more that just the people with Celiac disease. The wheat we buy today has been genetically modified to the point where it looks like it has become poisonous to us. It has an opiate like effect on our brain that causes us to crave it like a drug. It is worse than sugar!

Problems with the Chalcedonian Formula
Note: This article or section represents an Oriental Orthodox (Non-Chalcedonian) perspective, which may differ from an Eastern Orthodox (Chalcedonian) understanding.
By The Very Reverend Father Tadros Malaty, Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria (Excerpts)
We (Oriental Orthodox) reject the Chalcedonian formula for the following reasons:
1. The formula: "one nature" has an evangelic base, and touches our salvation. H. H. Pope Shenouda III clarifies this argument in detail in his book "The Nature of Christ".
2. Some Chalcedonian Fathers and theologians stated that the Tome of Leo represents an insurmountable obstacle in the efforts made to unite with the non- Chalcedonians, for the latter believe that two "physeis and ousia" in one person is Nestorianizing. This is supported by the fact that Leo's Tome was praised by Nestorius himself [1], and that the Tome, if taken alone by itself could have created the impression of an excessive opposition of two natures, as Prof. Rev. Florovsky says[2].
3. Kelly states that, unlike, their brethren in the East, the Westerns were concerned with the organization of ecclesiastical matters more than theological ones. He also states that with the exception of Tertullian, the west made little or no contribution to christological theology[3].
4. We are in accord with the Tome in refuting Eutychianism and in confirming that Christ's manhood was real, Christ entered the mundane plane of existence and that the unity of Godhead and manhood had been realized without change... but the Tome consists of three statements, those which some of the Fathers of Chalcedon themselves rejected for their Nestorian attitude[4].
5. Leo speaks of "one person (prosopon)" of Christ but this term does not suffice, for the Nestorians used it to mean "mask," i.e. external unity. There was a need to confirm the unity as a true and "hypostatic" one...
6. The Council of Chalcedon adopted the Tome of Leo. In Egypt many believers were martyred for they refused to sign the Tome... The acceptance of the Tome as a principal document of faith disfigured the Council in the sight of the non- Chalcedonians.
7. The "definitions" of Chalcedon admits the phrase "one hypostasis." Some of the Nestorians objected on this addition, but they accepted it when the word "hypostasis" was interpreted to them as an equal to "prosopon"...
8. We do not recognize this Council because it ignored all the traditional formulas of the Church, which confirm the oneness of the Person of Christ, as a true unity, such as: "one nature of two natures" and "one nature of the Incarnate Word of God."
I conclude my discussion of the Council of Chalcedon by referring to the words of Sellers who defends this council... "In the first place, it should be understood that the (Monophysite) theologians were not heretics, nor were they regarded as such by leading Chalcedonians.[5]"
1. Methodios Fouyas, p.12,13.
2. Christology according to the non-Chalcedonian Churches, p. 12-3.
3. Terms: "Physis & Hypostasis in the Early Church", p. 30-1.
4. Ibid 30f.
5. The council of Chalcedon, SPCK 1961, p. 269.
The term "monophysite" was not used during the fifth, sixth and seventh centuries, but was used later in a specific way and in a polemic spirit on behalf of the Chalcedonian Churches.

While cleaning the house on Saturday, I was stunned at how many used batteries I found under the couch, lurking in corners of the family room, and stashed in the junk drawer (where they eventually mingle with new batteries and make it impossible to quickly find a fresh battery.) The problem? No one in my family likes to throw batteries away. We all know they are bad for the planet. So the kids stash them so that I have to do it. It eases their conscience (though not mine) not to be the one to actually toss them in the trash.
I mention this because I got a press release and some samples of the (pictured) new Fuji Enviro MAX batteries recently. These are disposable batteries but, according to the press release, "They are mercury, lithium, cadmium and PVC-free making them landfill safe." Otherwise they look and function just like the batteries no one in my house wants to throw out. These batteries started selling in Target stores at the end of July. I know we plan to switch. Not only is this good for the planet but it will save me from crawling under the couch retrieving used batteries.
Once I had all those used batteries out from under the couch, though, I realized I had no idea how to dispose of them responsibly. I did discover a solution at ThinkGreen.com: The Battery Recycling Kit ($16.95.) It's a box with a prepaid shipping label. You order it and throw your used batteries in it instead of in the trash. When it's full, drop it in the mail. Your batteries will be disposed of properly.
Update: Walk into any Best Buy now and you will find recycling bins for all manner of electronics, including batteries.
I accumulate my used batteries in a plastic bag at leave with Wal-Mart . The Pas Robles, CA store has a drop off container in the entrance/exit area. The "greeter" at your local store can direct you to the location and they accept your batteries even if you are not a shopper.
I accumulate the old batteries in a plastic bag, and take it in to our local branch of Batteries Plus (http://www.batteriesplus.com/), and they just take it from me. At least that's what happened the last time I did it; I don't know if their process has changed since then.

Elizabeth Warren continues to focus on policy instead of questions of whether she's electable
During an appearance on the daytime talk show The View on May 30, host Meghan McCain asked Elizabeth Warren about how the media covers her, as a woman and one of the 20-plus Democrats running for president. Warren's response to the question didn't mention the various articles that endlessly belabor her electability, likability, and similarities to former Democratic presidential hopeful and other blonde woman Hillary Clinton. Rather, Warren continued to focus on policy and cited her own history as a politician to frame her 2020 run in a crowded field of candidates — and her answer shed light on what we miss out on when media outlets focus on the question of "electability."
"In 2012 I ran against an incumbent Republican who was very popular, and who had beaten a very very capable woman just about three years earlier," Warren explained to hosts McCain, Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, and Abby Huntsman. In 2012, Warren defeated incumbent Republican Senator Scott Brown, in an expensive and heated race for the Senate seat.
"A lot of folks said 'Elizabeth, you shouldn't run, you're going to lose, because Massachusetts is not going to a elect a woman for a seat like that. Not for governor, not for senator.' My answer? I just stayed in there and kept fighting for what I believe in. And inch by inch, person by person – I started down by 17 points. I ended up beating that guy by 7 and a half. "
Warren's response is relatively standard for her presidential campaign – and it's not the first time she's had to answer a question similar to McCain's. During a town hall in April, a woman in the audience asked Warren if she learned any lessons from the sexism in 2016 election. Warren gave a nearly identical answer to the one she gave on The View, discussing her senate race in 2012.
"I kept getting out there talking about what's happening with working families across the country," she told the audience member. "Talking about how Washington works great for the rich and the powerful, just not working for anyone else, and how we've got to fight back against that."
She has become known for responding to reactionary moments with grounded information and forward-thinking policies. When asked about the press coverage she's received, Warren didn't focus on the media's reaction to her campaign. She responded to McCain's question by giving examples of how she responded to similar treatment in the past, and pivoted back to the issues that she is focused on.
She was on the show to promote her most recent policy rollout, universal childcare. It's one of a dozen proposals Warren's made since she announced her candidacy – others include student loan forgiveness, improving maternal health care, and fighting climate change. Her campaign has pushed her "I have a plan for that," approach for the past several weeks, and the strategy appears to be working.
The New York Times reported on May 28 that Warren is polling third behind former Vice President Joe Biden and Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, though considering how far away we are from the primaries, these numbers aren't the most reliable.
Her high polling numbers are that way perhaps in spite of the op-eds and analytical media coverage about Warren's electability that plagued the first months of her presidential run. Nationally recognized publications have been guilty of running pieces that compare Warren to Hillary Clinton, and have spent a disproportionate amount of time questioning whether Warren specifically can stand a chance against defeating Donald Trump. And writers, pollsters, and pundits questioned whether Warren's focus on policy would alienate her from voters.
This coverage happened concurrently with stories of the multiple allegations of inappropriate touching and sexual harassment made against Biden. This hasn't seemed to affect Biden's polling numbers, and the allegations didn't seem to draw the same questions about electability that Warren's campaign has.
It does beg the question: are the factors by which we're determining electability even relevant? Polling data – as often as it is correct – has been catastrophically wrong in crucial moments. Fundraising – as necessary as it is – has become more scrutinized as more politicians reject corporate funds. And likability seems to be a factor that is only applied to political candidates who aren't men – making it not just an unfair metric, but an inaccurate one.
As Moira Donegan wrote for the Guardian in January, "the question of "likability" as it is applied to women candidates has become a kind of cipher through which pundits, strategists and ordinary Americans discuss our collective discomfort with women in power."
Which is not to say that this coverage that McCain refers to, and that Warren deftly spoke around isn't impactful. By constantly pondering in the public forum if Elizabeth Warren is electable in a way that no other candidate is scrutinized, her entire campaign is thrown to the sidelines of that question. Other women running for president have been criticized for other things, but none have had "electability" thrown at them to the same extent as Warren.
Treating men, and especially white men as inherently electable has allowed candidates like Beto O'Rourke and Pete Buttigieg to approach their actual platforms and beliefs with less urgency. O'Rourke spoke about his first concrete policy proposal – concerning immigration reform – in the last week of May, even though he's been formally running for president since March 14. Buttigieg often uses vague rhetoric when talking about issues like abortion, taxes, and climate change, and while he believes a lot things, he didn't propose any specific solutions until after he was challenged in a town hall about his lack of policy proposals.
A lack critical analysis of Warren and her policies is not only unfair to her, but also to voters. There are plenty of things she should regularly be challenged on: her stance on sex work, her linkage of fighting climate change to national security, that time she did a DNA test in response to Trump's taunts about her Native American heritage.
Clearly, we're not going to reach a point where gender – or any other identity – is no longer a factor for candidates. Too few people who aren't white men have been elected to public office for that to be the case. But if press coverage of women who run remains reductive, media (and likely, also the country) runs the risk of permanently asking the question: "Is this woman electable?" instead of "Should we elect this woman?"

(note - I realize the plants use the Carbon Dioxide while we use the air, which is why I said ATMOSPHERE) The wand relates to the suit of RODS in Tarot and vice versa. The Wand is a MALE tool, like the Athame.... Wands were the main use of Vis, used in the workbench to create Thaumcraft items and to create Thaumcraft constructs (like the Infernal Furnace). In Thaumcraft 4, Vis is taking a turn towards the "All is One, One is all" side of things, and Saying that Vis comes from the Primal Aspects of nature: Aer (air), Terra (earth), Ignis (fire), Aqua (water), Ordo (order), and Perditio (entropy).
The Basics. Thaumic Horizons is a Thaumcraft 4 addon aimed at creating new uses for familiar mechanics. You may attach arcane lenses to enhance your Goggles of Revealing, mix essentia with your own blood to create potion-like effects, or even discover …... Thaumic Exploration is a Thaumcraft 4 addon, with the goal of simply adding more balanced Thaumcraft content of the quality you would expect from Azanor himself.
The beginning player may be frustrated with the few uses for wands. Using them for crafting and building is all very well, but where are the wands that go zap? For that, you need to get hold of some Nether Quartz and craft wand foci. The several types produce a variety of offensive or utility...... You can use the wand to meditate. Place the wand in your left hand, left hand being symbolic for receiving energies with pointed side of the wand facing the wrist, rounded end towards the fingers. You are directing the universal energy into the rounded tip and toward you with the pointed end.
Wand of the Apprentice Edit. The most basic wand in Thaumcraft, using just one shard (any type), a stick, and a gold nugget. It can only carry 50 vis at a time, so it is helpful to upgrade as soon as possible.


Is a payment in respect of injury to feelings made on the termination of employment subject to tax?
Yes, held the Tax and Chancery Chamber of the Upper Tribunal in Moorthy v The Commissioners for Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs.
The Claimant was made redundant. He then brought claims of unfair dismissal and age discrimination, which related entirely to his dismissal. By a settlement, the Claimant was paid an ex gratia sum of £200,000 by his employer, who treated £30,000 as tax exempt under s401 of ITEPA 2003 and deducted tax at basic rate from the remainder.
In his tax return, the Claimant treated the balance as tax free. HMRC disagreed and issued a closure notice treating an extra £140,023 as taxable income but they did make a concession to treat a further £30,000 as damages for injury to feelings arising from age discrimination, and so not taxable.
The Claimant appealed. The First Tier Tribunal held that the balance was taxable. The Claimant appealed again.
The Upper Tribunal upheld the decision. Section 406(b) of ITEPA treats a payment "on account of injury to an employee" as not taxable, but that must be a medical condition. 'Injury' is akin to death or disability. It does not include injury to feelings. It applies to payments in connection with the termination of employment, or a change of duties or earnings. The Upper Tribunal noted that there appeared to be an anomalous distinction that compensation for discrimination during employment is not taxable, so that compensation may have to be apportioned between events before and after termination for tax purposes.


Parents: What Legal Steps Should you Take when your Child Turns 18?
Many parents wish to remain involved in the medical and financial decisions of their children after they turn 18. However, once a child reaches the age of majority, he or she becomes a legal adult with new rights to control their private property and medical care. Parents are prevented from accessing their health care information and financial accounts unless they are given legal permission, and it can become very costly and time-consuming for them to help in times of need. Normal children can provide permission with a properly drafted power of attorney to their parents. While such a power of attorney is the best way to accomplish getting needed information and decision making power, a young adult may not want to grant such broad powers.
Parents of disabled children should file for guardianship to continue to manage their disabled child's personal property and medical care after they turn 18. Disabled children with mental limitations cannot sign a power of attorney or health care proxy because they do not have capacity. While able-bodied children likely do not require this same level of care, there are a number of important steps they can take to ensure that they can receive parental help when needed.
The health records of a child become private under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) when the child turns 18. Information regarding their medical history, current conditions, and future health care cannot be accessed by a parent unless a HIPAA release form is signed. The young adult can choose to sign the waiver on a case by case basis. This form gives a parent access to the child's private medical information and must be signed by the child voluntarily. If a child is incapacitated before this form is signed, parents cannot easily receive information about their child's medical state. Even if the young adult has signed a HIPPA release, the parent cannot make medical decisions for the child without a health care proxy (a power of attorney limited to health care decisions) or a full power of attorney. Becoming a health care proxy with a HIPAA release form allows parents to continue to support their children in times of emergency or even if the child does not have the privacy to make medical arrangements.
If a young adult is hesitant to grant a health care proxy or power of attorney, they can make it conditional on the young adult's disability as defined by the state of their residence. The difficulty with this option is that the parent's will have to prove disability to the health provider's satisfaction, though there are times the disability is self-evident.
A child's finances also become private when they turn 18. To give a parent access to their accounts, a child can grant them a durable power of attorney. A durable power of attorney allows an appointed individual access to the financial accounts of another when they are incapacitated or when other circumstances, such as traveling, prevent them from handling the accounts themselves. In the alternative, the parent can be listed on the young adult's accounts as a joint account owner.
In the tragedy that a child predeceases his/her parents, their funds may be subject to probate and will likely be passed on to their heirs. A Will grants a child greater control over to whom their property is given and helps parents avoid making difficult decisions in times of grief. Parents should strongly consider how a health care proxy and/or durable power of attorney and Will can better prepare them to help their children after their child is over 18.

Individuals with disabilities in New Jersey will soon have access to a new type of savings account through The Achieving a Better Life Experience (ABLE) Act. Signed into federal law by President Obama in 2014, the ABLE Act establishes an alternative to special needs trusts with unique provisions and limitations. To be eligible for an ABLE account, individuals must have a documented disability before the age of 26. Any individual, including friends and family, can contribute to an ABLE account. However, individual contributors are limited to annual sums of $14,000. Individuals with an ABLE account remain eligible for SSI benefits if the sum within their ABLE account does not exceed $100,000. The individual does continue to be eligible for Medicaid if the account exceeds this amount until the state's permitted maximum amount for a 529 account is reached. In New Jersey, this limit is $305,000. Individuals are additionally restricted to establishing only a single ABLE account.
The funds within an ABLE account can be used towards a wide range of expenses related to the individual's disability. These expenses include education, housing, transportation, employment training and support, assistive technology and personal support services, health, financial management and administrative services, legal fees, funeral and burial expenses, and other expenses.
The ABLE Act was signed into New Jersey state law on January 11th, 2016 by Governor Chris Christie. Although it was intended that the program would be up and running by the end of the year, the State has yet to finalize the details regarding its implementation. It's likely that this hold-up is due to cost of implementation, though twenty three states have already been successful in implementing ABLE programs. Hopefully, this number will soon increase to twenty four.
Are "nasty" text messages sufficient to issue a Final Restraining Order?
27 years after a failed engagement, the woman Plaintiff in this case is seeking a Final Restraining Order under the Protection Against Domestic Violence Act. After many years of no contact, the Defendant contacted the Plaintiff online and continued communications via text messaging. Plaintiff asserted that she told the Defendant to stop contacting her and to go back to his wife. However, she was unable to produce supporting text messages. The court read selected "insulting" text messages that were on record, none of which were disputed by Defendant. The Defendant referred to the Plaintiff as "pig," "liar," and other more derogatory insults such as the "b" word and "c" word. Additionally, the Plaintiff testified that she was confronted by the Defendant and his new wife at a private club function, where she was allegedly lunged at and threatened to be assaulted. With respect to Domestic Violence, the Plaintiff also asserted she was approached while seated on a bench in the hallway on the second day of trial by the Defendant, and was grabbed on the arm over the course of conversation.
At the request of Plaintiff, one of her former boyfriends intervened on her behalf and sent a text to Defendant to cease contacting her. The two former boyfriends exchanged text messages.
Defendant denied all allegations of Domestic Violence, and asserted that the parties maintained cordial text communications for months without the Plaintiff ever telling him to stop texting her. The Defendant admitted that he sent nasty text messages using "foul language," but maintained he was provoked by threats by the Plaintiff's former boyfriend.
While the court found the purpose of harassment to be legitimate, because the trial court failed to properly apply both prongs to the test established in Silver v. Silver, the court's finding that the need for the Final Restraining Order was unsupported by any explicit findings regarding a history of domestic violence. Due to the sole basis of the Final Restraining Order being verbal harassment in the form of name calling, absent any credible physical threats of violence against the Plaintiff or her Property, a remand for a re-hearing on the issue was deemed most appropriate.
See L.I. v. C.M. III, App. Div. 4/5/16.
Comment: The key is meeting the two prongs of Silver v Silver: 1) A Final Restraining Order ("FRO) is necessary to protect the victim from "immediate danger or to prevent further abuse;" 2) That the communication and/or behavior was of a harassing nature. Here, the Appellate Court felt that he first prong was not met; while the language was harassing, there was no showing of immediate danger or to prevent further abuse. The Court did not address Defendant's assertion that his communication with Plaintiff had stopped. Question: Did the communication only stop after being served with the TRO? This matter was sent back to the trial court to determine whether Plaintiff met the prong of needing protection.

Should retirement induced by illness be sufficient to reduce permanent alimony?
Comment: Not only does the 2014 Alimony Statute provide for no retroactive relief on existing agreements, this Judgment of Divorce specifically provided for non-modifiable alimony, regardless of any change of circumstances. Non-modification provisions are usually upheld. It is noted that the Defendant enjoyed the benefit of the non-modification language during the time his income doubled, but then wanted relief when his income decreased. Generally, I do not recommend non-modifiable alimony.
What happens when one party sells the business after the divorce?
After ending a nearly 44 year marriage, the Dual Judgment of Divorce ("JOD") ordered the parties to resolve all disputes related to the divorce through binding arbitration rather than going back to the Court. In the JOD, the Husband retained the beauty salon business and agreed to pay $650 per week in non-taxable equitable distribution to Wife. There was no provision for a share of the business to Wife if it was sold or for alimony in the event that equitable distribution was no longer payable. When Husband sold the business, he no longer paid equitable distribution monies to the Wife. Wife filed for arbitration to get alimony instead of the former equitable distribution monies. The arbitration award denied the Wife's request for alimony even though the Plaintiff earned more money throughout most of the marriage. The Arbitrator explained that modification of alimony requires proof of a substantial change in financial circumstances of the parties. The Wife appealed the Arbitrator's decision, but the Court still found against her, stating, "an increase in support becomes necessary whenever changed circumstances substantially impair the dependent spouse's ability to maintain the standard of living reflected in the original decree or agreement." Upon review, the Court found that the Wife failed to show substantial evidence of change of circumstances and rejected her claim of modification.
Comment: The negotiated JOD failed to foresee or provide for the sale of Husband's business. Based on the limited information available in the Court's decision, it would have been better to argue that the intent of the agreement was to provide for a share of the business to the Wife as equitable distribution. As such, an argument could be made that it would be inequitable to let the Husband sell the business and keep all the proceeds before Wife got her fair share of the value of the business. Of course, as aforestated, it would have been better to negotiate a more complete JOD.
It is further noted that the spouse is generally entitled to a bigger share of the business in a long term marriage. Businesses owned by one spouse are not generally divided equally, unlike other assets accrued during the marriage.

Cross-Court Cognition, Wimbledon Serves Up Ever-Deeper Data Play On IBM
New balls please? Yes, but only if they come with cognitive data analytics. Whether you like the sport of tennis or not, it's hard to ignore the fact that summer is Wimbledon season.
copyright by www.forbes.com
The UK capital city of London is known for grand buildings, warm beer and its native inhabitant's sometimes misunderstood abruptness of attitude (spoiler alert: Londoners are actually warm and lovely people). London is also known for Wimbledon – a quiet and leafy suburb that is quiet and unassuming for 50 weeks of the year until the world's sporting glitterati join royals and celebrities to see two players bash a rubber ball over a net at each other for up to five hours at a stretch.
Sports and Data
For almost 30-years now IBM has been providing Wimbledon with technology. What started off as stopwatches and electronic net 'beep' systems eventually progressed to camera-enabled smart line judges (leverage of the Hawkeye system) and finally onward into the use of big data analytics to digitize player behavior and tactics. Today, it's all about personalizing the viewing experience. According to IBM, "Sports and entertainment companies compete on compelling content, but there is now more content created every day than any of us can consume. With more channels, more devices and more video content, consumers can now access personalized content anywhere, anytime. That is why personalizing the fan experience is a top priority for so many telecom, media and entertainment companies."
For the fans, not just the coaches
Every year IBM attempts to bring new layers of technology to bear upon the Wimbledon championships. Recent augmentations have seen IBM provide information designed to inform not just tennis coaches and players, but also for fans who want to know what it will take to win in a game where margins for winning and losing are becoming increasingly exacting.
The Slamtracker ' Cognitive Keys to the Match' feature was built on IBM's predictive analytics technology (SPSS). This mines over eight years of Grand Slam Tennis data (~41 million data points) to determine patterns and styles for players when they win. Players and fans alike got an insight into what comparable players with comparable styles must do tactically if they are to win a match.
At the All England Club (Wimbledon's official name) itself, IBM operates a bunker filled full of data scientists whose job it is to number crunch their way through every digitally captured move, play, ball bounce and judging line call throughout each match. Interesting, these guys and girls are mainly tennis pros in the first instance. As detailed previously on Forbes, this is because it's easier to teach a tennis pro data analytics than it is to teach a data analyst the specific mechanics of professional tennis to a data analyst.

NOM's Brian Brown and FRC's Tony "KKK" Perkins Squeeee In Delight Over 6th Circuts Bigoted Ruling Against Gay Marriage
Will Kohler November 7, 2014
National Organization for Marriage's Brian Brownshirt:
"We have been awaiting this decision for some time and welcome it not only as a tremendous victory, but as a common sense recognition that it is not for the federal courts to substitute their judgment about whether same-sex 'marriage' is a good idea or not, but to leave it to the people to make the decision about this fundamental institution. The justices of the Supreme Court were derelict in their duty when they refused to review the marriage cases previously before them. They now have no excuse. We call on the Supreme Court to stand for the proposition that men and women of good will across this land have the right under their constitution to preserve marriage in the law as it has always existed in reality, the union of one man and one woman."
"The Sixth Circuit was certainly correct to frame the question before them as 'who decides?' and we wholeheartedly agree that the American people should decide this issue. But the majority is wrong to suggest that voters have changed their minds. In fact, in the vast majority of states that now have redefined marriage, it's been judges and not voters who have done this. The movement to redefine marriage does not benefit from having momentum, it benefits from the exercise of raw political power by federal and state judges and politicians bent of imposing their politically-correct view of the world on the American people."
Family Research Council hate group's white supremacist linked president Tony Perkins:
"We applaud the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit for upholding the freedom of the people to define marriage as the union of a man and woman. The Sixth Circuit rightly recognizes that the Constitution does not demand that this modern redefinition of marriage be forced on the States. The American people simply will not accept a nationwide redefinition of marriage imposed on them by a judicial oligarchy. As the debate continues, recent polls and the election demonstrate that support for marriage redefinition is stalling as Americans begin to experience and consider the consequences for religious freedom, free speech, and parental rights.
"Where marriage is redefined, parents are increasingly finding a wedge being driven between them and their children as school curricula is changed to contradict the morals parents are teaching their children. And as more and more people lose their livelihoods because they refuse to not just tolerate but celebrate same-sex marriage, many Americans are beginning to see that this is about far more than the marriage alter, but is about fundamentally altering society.
Ah yes the 6th circuit, the most over turned circuit in the country. Big win there Herr PerKKKins and Frau Brown.

RENTON, Wash. — A woman-owned company in Renton is changing the game by making sustainable jewelry.
Boma Jewelry, a 40+ year old brand, uses deadstock materials to create contemporary and on-trend designs.
"Some people would just kind of throw it away, but we held onto it and 20, 25 years later, we made something beautiful out of it," said COO Cleo Escarez.
The company was founded in Seattle back in 1981 and is still owned and operated by the same family.
"I am actually the daughter of the founders," said CEO Suzanne Vetillart.
Boma's zero-waste collection is just one of the ways the company merges commerce with consciousness.

The "luck" collection is available for order online.
All of the pieces are made in the founder's native Thailand, at a family-owned factory where some of the artisans have worked for 30 years.
"These are people who've watched me grow up from being a baby, and I think that's really the kind of company we are - we provide careers for life for our workers," Vetillart said.
The business also provides for their workers' families through the Boma Girl Fund, offering support like educational grants.
It's personal for Vetillart, who's a mother of four.
"In 20 or 30 years, I want to know that the work I'm doing today is actually relevant and is doing something valuable for the next generation," she said. "Your products are made with care and integrity and ethics."
May is Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month and Boma has a special collection celebrating the occasion. The Treasured Collection is a tribute to the company's own Asian heritage. Throughout the month, Boma will donate 100% of the profits from the collection to the AAPI Community Fund.
KING 5's Evening celebrates the Northwest. Contact us: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Email.


The YMCA mechanical room flooded during the last week of November after failure within the pumping system.
IRON MOUNTAIN – Twice during the last week of November the Northern Lights YMCA – Dickinson Center pool was temporarily shut down to address issues with the mechanical pumping system.
According to YMCA officials, many components to the system contain parts that are no longer made or available used. The system is terribly inefficient, and often times when one thing goes wrong, it leads to another issue.
Corroded plumbing, leaking seals and other inefficiencies are just some of the worsening issues facing the pool. The system was originally designed for a 20-25 year useful service life.
While closures are always regrettable, the Y staff is sometimes left with little choice. Anytime there is a shutdown, the pool cannot reopen until it passes a water quality check.
"While we hate having the pool closed, we have to consider the well-being of the users," Ringel said.
The silver lining is a total pool replacement is first on the list of improvements with funds received from the Capital Campaign, which kicks off in January.
A new pool will drastically cut energy use and water consumption for the YMCA. The plan also calls for new doors and windows to better maintain a stable and comfortable air temperature. Plans include an on-deck shower and sauna. The water will be brought up to deck level and will create easier access for patrons and clearer lines of sight for the lifeguards.
The public campaign kick-off party is January 25. To contribute to the YMCA Capital Campaign or become a volunteer campaigner, please call (906) 774-4076.

I have previously bashed the AIDS denialist documentary 'House of Numbers' in the past for, among other things, it's deceitful editing techniques. It quoted people out of context, chopped up dialogue to change the meaning of what is actually being said, and manipulated data. Even the foul-mouthed Liam Scheff who starred in the documentary admitted that he was unfavourably edited. So it will come as no surprise that I have yet another example of the director and star, Brent Leung, being deceitful in the editing room. This example however is a little different than others - where as before Brent was basically fabricating a narrative, here he has stumbled upon an actual real life conspiracy. It revolves around the very upsetting case of Joyce Ann Hafford which is also a perfect example of the potential dangers of some anti-retroviral medications. But rather than reporting about this now well-exposed story, Brent spins it into something quite different and rather confusing.
Joyce Ann Hafford was a 33-year-old single mother living in Memphis, Tennessee. She was pregnant with her second child when she tested positive for HIV. Worried that she would pass her infection to her unborn child she insisted in a clinical trial to try and prevent transmission. The drug being investigated was a non-nucleoside reverse transciptase inhibitor called Nevirapine. It works by binding to reverse transcriptase blocking the enzyme's catalytic site preventing reverse transcription from occurring. This is something that was missed in the documentary that gives the impression that Joyce and all who are taking anti-retrovirals take the same standard HIV medication. This is not the case as Nevirapine, like all drugs is not suitable for everyone and some people should never use it because of the risk of adverse effects, unless the benefit clearly outweighs these risks. These risk factors are investigated in clinical trials like the one Joyce was on. Her trial was designed to compare the safety of Nelfinavir and Nevirapine based antiretroviral treatment in HIV-1 infected pregnant women. The results of this study are published in the paper 'Maternal Toxicity With Continuous Nevirapine in Pregnancy: Results from PACTG 1022.
Nevirapine can cause severe, life-threatening liver damage, skin reactions, and allergic reactions as stated by Liam in the documentary. One of possible side effects which is truly terrifying is called Steven-Johnson syndrome (SJS) in which the epidermis separates from the dermis. The documentary heavily implies that this was the cause of Joyce's death when it edited together a clip of her sister Ruby disguising a rash she developed, immediately followed by Liam talking about SJS whilst holding the paper 'Nevirapine and the risk of Stevens-Johnons syndrome or toxic epidermal necrolysis'. Joyce did not die as a result of developing SJS she died from drug induced hepatitis of the liver. It is baffling to me why a documentary that is trying to convince people to come off their medication would spin a story of a death resulting from one of theses medications into something different. The only reason I can think of is that SJS is so terrifying that they thought they could not waste this opportunity to frighten the viewer. It should also be noted that in the trial that Joyce was on, Nevirapine did cause one women to develop the syndrome…..so why did they not track her down and talk to her?
Whilst holding the 'Nevirapine and the risk of Stevens-Johnons syndrome' paper Liam says "When they are talking about a drug that can kill you, they are talking both a drug that targets the actively replicating cells in your durmus. In your mucusal layers in your intestine and stops them form working. What happens, goodbye skin". Here Liam seems to be under the impression that Nevirapine is physically doing the damage to your cells. This is simply incorrect as SJS is believed to be an immunological disorder that can be induced by Nevirapine. The syndrome can also be caused by ibuprofen, penicillin and some anti-inflammatory drugs; all be it far less likely than it being induced by Nevirapine. If Liam was correct and the drug was targeting actively replicating cells in your dermis then why do only a small number of people develop SJS?
As I mentioned earlier, Joyce died from drug induced hepatitis of the liver, but what I did not mention were the errors that led to her death. While the documentary House of Numbers gives the impression that it was the simply the drug that killed her, the truth is that it was human error that led to her death. Whilst on the trial, and two weeks before she died, her blood work indicated liver problems – something that was already known as a possible side effect of Nevirapine. Instead of removing Joyce from the trial and off the medication, the doctors continued administering Nevirapine eventually leading to liver failure. It is more than likely that she could have survived if the doctors hadn't been so negligent. This failure of the medical staff running the trial is unbelievably hinted at in the documentary house of numbers when Brent reads an e-mail exchange between Jonathan Fishbein and Ed Tramont. What the documentary was trying to achieve by this is a mystery.
What is outstanding about this case is that the people running the trial tried to cover up Joyce's death to her family and told them that she died of AIDS related complications. The family first learned of the real cause of Joyce's death when the press obtained copies of the case files.
This story has everything that AIDS denialists are looking for, yet unbelievably they twist it into something it's not by suggestive editing and by missing out critical information. Rather than telling the story of a group of doctors conspiring to cover up the death of a patient to their immediate family its been used to promote the idea that a different drug, AZT (azidothymidine), is dangerous. Joyce's story in the documentary is separated into two parts, and sandwiched between these parts are testimonials of people encouraging people to come off AZT- even though this has nothing to do with what is being discussed at that moment in time in the documentary. In the end this is nothing more than a shameful example of capitalising on a very sad story of a mother trying to do everything in her power to protect her child from HIV.
As the sister of Joyce Ann Hafford, we are still baffled why the doctors chose to conceal their negligence. The case is now over. Her son is a healthy hiv negative 10yr old that never had the opportunity to know what a wonderful mom he had. His status is not the result of a positive clinical trial study. It is the result of medical intervention shortly after birth.
Hi Rubbie, I was wondering if I can ask you what you think of the movie House of Numbers and how you think you were portrayed in it.
Mr Power, people might take your blog more seriously if you simply didn't label people who disagree with your religion "deniers". This is the first symptom of an inadequate intellect.

Add selected DOI, PMID, ISBN, or JSTOR stable URL to open library. If ⌘ is held, then search library for selected text and create new group with references returned.
I did create a black and white version of the Bookends icon, however the detail is too fine to show up at all in PopClip, so I've temporarily used a basic open book icon. If anyone has anything better, just send it along. I'd love to spruce it up.
Also, if anyone has any ideas for other features that might be included, I'd be happy to implement so long as the general population might find them of use--anything, then, that isn't too idiosyncratic. It's quite easy to add other functions that might be activated by holding down other keys when clicking the Bookends extension in PopClip.
Finally, to Jon, don't hesitate to let me know if you don't want your app distributed in this way. The plist checks for the bundle id and directs users to Sonny Software if not already installed, so it can (I hope) only help awareness of the app.
I appreciate the work you've put in to enhance Bookends. That's the reason we added AppleScript compatibility, to let users add capabilities we don't provide ourselves. So thank you.
Another great tool. Thanks man.


The delegate has a demanding job, not only because a large amount of time and work are involved, but because it is the delegate's responsibility to serve the US/Canada Conference as a whole. As voting members of the Conference, delegates bring to its deliberations the experiences and viewpoints of their own areas. Yet they are not representatives of their areas in the usual political sense; after hearing all points of view and becoming fully informed during Conference discussion, they vote in the best interests of A.A. as a whole.

My brother, Eddie, died on Christmas Day of 2010. My fondest memories of him go way back to when I was in fifth grade and Eddie was in eighth. We played football on Curtiss Street with our neighborhood buddies.
Eddie could rifle a football faster and more accurately than anyone I knew. Most often, he had me go out for short passes and my hands and arms stung from catching the ball. Our team made short gains as we slowly worked our way toward the end zone, which was the Mulhalls' driveway.
But once in a while, Eddie would wink at me and say, "Go long, Donnie." Those were magic words. I would take off as fast as I could, past the parked white Edsel and the beat-up Mercury.
Eddie would drop the ball in my outstretched hands for a touchdown and my whole world felt perfectly wonderful.
I listen to him and everything is the way it should be.

One other thing to remember is the exact time the update releases for players.
