Kyua (pronounced Q.A.) is a framework to easily develop and execute automated tests for software projects.
Kyua is intended to be a replacement for the Automated Testing Framework (ATF). The code base of ATF is very hard to extend and the overall design of the tools make it impossible to implement some features highly desired by users. Kyua will start by replacing the runtime tools atf-run and atf-report with a single, integrated CLI binary, and later will provide replacements for the C, C++ and Shell bindings.
In comparison to ATF, the Kyua project is also intended to provide easier access for contributions and new developers. To do so, it uses the off-the-shelf solution for collaborative development provided by Google Code and the Subversion version control system for its source code.

American singer, songwriter, and record producer Butch Walker performed his first-ever solo show in Australia at Melbourne’s Northcote Social Club on Friday 25 January 2019. Following his days as lead guitarist in glam metal band SouthGang, and then lead vocalist and guitarist for rock band Marvelous 3, he embarked upon a solo career in 2002. Butch has since released eight full-length solo studio albums along with three live albums, and a bunch of EPs and DVDs.
Many songs he has written have been hits for other artists, including Avril Lavigne, Sevendust, The Donnas, Hot Hot Heat, American Hi-Fi, Default, Pink, Katy Perry, Pete Yorn, The All-American Rejects, and most recently Weezer, Fall Out Boy, and The Struts. Kicking off with tonight’s sold-out show billed as An Intimate Evening With Butch Walker, his short tour down under coincides with the release of his latest single – a cover of Survivor’s Eye of the Tiger. Joining him on stage at times was his production engineer and musician Todd Stopera, while Baby Animals’ guitarist Dave Leslie joined in for a couple of Marvelous 3 encore songs – one sung by long-time fan Troy Culpan.


""Consider how the tectonic plates have started to move. With ordinary people struggling to find affordable accommodation, co-living spaces have grown in popularity — particularly in cities such as London and New York, where the housing crisis is especially acute.
For example, London boasts the Collective, an 11-storey block whose 500-plus residents pay up to £1,000 for a room containing a bed and a bathroom, plus access to a host of shared amenities such as a gym, a spa, a restaurant and a cinema. New York has Common, which describes co-living as “city living done right” and seeks residents “looking for a convenient, flexible and affordable way to enjoy life in a vibrant urban community”. As well as having their own bedroom, residents share amenities such as a high-end kitchen and on-site laundry, while the space is appointed with furniture from trendy outlets like West Elm.
Little wonder that the Economist reckons “co-living is for hipsters not hippies”. Its witty observation is rather apt. After all, shared living has long been associated with radical experiments in co-living such as retirement homes, communes and kibbutzim. (The idea of several people who aren’t biologically related living together isn’t new either, of course.)
Still, from London to Los Angeles, San Francisco to Stockholm, today’s co-living spaces have a thoroughly modern appeal. As Common’s founder, Brad Hargreaves, told the Guardian, though people have lived with roommates for a long time, “what we are doing is just taking this way of living and making it better, designing an experience for what people are already doing.”"


Ikan have announced the release of the innovative PIVOT 3-Axis Handheld Gimbal Stabilizer, which uses a complete 360 movement on all 3 axes, while providing advanced stabilization and an unobstructed view to of the back LCD screen of the camera. The Ikan Pivot gimbal stabillizer supports a hefty maximum payload of 8 lbs (or 3.6 kg) maximum payload, which means it can support not only popular DSLRs and mirrorless cameras, but also compact S35 camcorders such as the Sony FS5.
The angled arm on the roll motor is a great idea, and is something that we’ve seen recently from other gimbals such as the Filmpower Nebula 5100 Slant, however with the new Ikan you get a slightly bigger max payload and included feet to set the gimbal on a flat surface. Using an adaptive algorithm, Ikan has improved the response speed and torque, allowing for better image stabilization.
The Ikan Pivot features a pressure sensitive joystick that allows precise manual control over the gimbal movements, and a helpful OLED status display screen on the operator side, which conveniently indicates battery life, operation mode, and joystick direction.
Another useful feature of this gimbal stabilizer is the fact that it is compatible with the super popular Manfrotto 501PL series mounting plates making it easy to switch from a gimbal to a compatible tripod easy. The gimbal’s battery holder is also compatible with Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 and the the battery is said to give operators a full day’s work on a single charge (8-10 hours).
The Ikan Pivot is also compatible with the Ikan Dual-Grip handles, as pictured below. The compact design features a lightweight carbon fibre handle that makes the gimbal perfect for event and music videography, and travel vlogging among others.
Ikan Pivot 3-axis Gimbal Features
- Max payload of 8 pounds (3.6kg)
- Angled arm for unobstructed view of the camera’s LCD
- Advanced image stabilization
- iOS and Android app
- Carbon fiber handle
- Full 360 degree movements on all three axis
- Compatible with Manfrotto 501PL series mounting plates
- Battery holder is compatible with Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0
- OLED display screen
- Price: $699.99 at B&H
- Available: mid-March
As a companion to the Pivot gimbal, Ikan is also releasing an IOS/Android app in March, which will transform your smartphone into a wireless pan-tilt controller for your gimbal. The app also supports advanced calibration to optimize performance.

Adoption in Bellevue, WA
Bellevue Adoption Agencies, Lawyers and More
Whether you’re a hopeful adoptive family or a pregnant woman considering adoption in Washington, it can be hard to know what local adoption resources are available to you. Since adoption laws vary by state and adoption professionals are located all across the country, sometimes it’s nice to know that someone who can help is close to home. With this in mind, then, we’ve compiled a cheat sheet of Bellevue adoption resources. You can also contact us online to get more free information now.
Bellevue Adoption Agencies
As a national, full-service adoption agency, American Adoptions is more than qualified to complete an adoption in Washington. We offer everything from 24/7 counseling for pregnant women to communication facilitation services after a baby has been placed with his or her adoptive family. In short, we do it all. If, however, you’re interested in researching other Bellevue adoption professionals, here are a few places to start:
Bellevue Adoption Attorneys
No matter what adoption agency you choose to work with, you’ll need an attorney to represent your interests in the adoption at some point. If you work with American Adoptions, you’ll be connected with a trusted attorney in your area. If not, here are a few of your options for adoption attorneys in Bellevue:
Bellevue Foster Care Professionals
At American Adoptions, we work strictly with private domestic adoptions. However, we’re very passionate about connecting people with resources for foster care. If you are interested in foster parenting or adopting from foster care in Bellevue, contact one of the following organizations:
Bellevue Adoption Home Study Providers
Before any family is qualified to adopt in Bellevue, they must have completed an adoption home study. This is essentially an assessment of your readiness to adopt that happens in three stages: the documentation phase, a home inspection and interviews with each family member. It can be intimidating, but having the right adoption home study professional will make the process a breeze. Here are some professionals that can complete the adoption home study in Bellevue:
Bellevue International Adoption Agencies
If you’re interested in adopting from another country, Bellevue has professionals that can help you with this endeavor as well. First, choose which country you wish to adopt from. Once you’ve narrowed that down, you can contact one of the following international adoption agencies that complete adoptions from that country:
If you’re a pregnant woman considering adoption, your birth plan will be a little more detailed than a woman who plans to parent. Of course, you’ll choose your doctor and how you want to deliver, but you’ll also consider aspects like whether or not you want the adoptive family in the room and if you want to spend time alone with your baby.
If you’re an adoptive family traveling to Bellevue to adopt, you can expect to meet your newest family member in one of the following locations:
Taking your baby home from the hospital is not the last step in the adoption process. There will have to be a finalization hearing, in which a judge hears your Bellevue adoption case and grants you a final decree of adoption. This will take place in the King County Superior Court.
Bellevue Tourist Attractions
If you travel from out of town to adopt in Bellevue, you may need to stick around while different state laws are accommodated. If this is the case, don’t forget to take care of the city’s attractions while you’re around!

Maybe not all of us are quiet, I would agree, but we are hard working and industrious. It cannot possibly be the doom and gloom we hear opposite.
I give some credit to the member for Wild Rose for raising the very valid issue of the problems on our reserves. It puzzles me, when I hear a member from the opposite side talking about supporting the natives on our reserves and improving their quality of life, that they do not support the Nisga'a treaty. That treaty has wide support in British Columbia yet they do not support it.
I also heard them talk about people on the street. If there is one problem that is absolutely visible to people who come to this country from other parts of the world, it is the fact that we have a serious homelessness problem. We must do something about it.
It is mentioned in the throne speech, but let me add that a throne speech is a visionary document. It is not a document, unlike what the opposition would like, that simply lays out specifics about the size of a tax cut. Even though it does say there will be a multi-year tax cut based hopefully on a five year plan it cannot give the specifics. The work is yet to be done. Members opposite know full well that those specifics will appear in a budget in February, a budget for which I am quite sure they already have their negative remarks prepared. It will lay it out in detail.
The issues of homelessness and affordable housing are mentioned in the throne speech. Once again one would not or could not possibly put the specifics in a throne speech which deals with a vision of the government.
Turning to the issue of children, my close friend and brother-in-law from England once said to me that when babies start killing babies we have a serious problem. I do not want to overdramatize the issue but we have seen an explosion in the youth in all of North America. It has even occurred in western Canada. There is a reason for it and we must address the reason. It cannot be fixed overnight. There have to be stronger families, stronger opportunities for parental care and supervision, and strong leadership within families.
It is my view that a throne speech simply sets out the vision for that to occur. We want to do all these things and it is difficult to balance everything.
We believe in tax cuts. We absolutely believe in reducing the debt which is a burden for future children of the country. It is a top priority. We believe in our children and in our youth and that the plan laid out in the throne speech has very strong merits to make us the country of the next millennium.

text: During a delivery by the president of A.C Tsuchinoko, Hisamitsu Isokawa, he reunites with Hiraoka and Erika, who were his classmates in technical school. Meanwhile, Misa gets the chance to do some character CG animation for a certain scene in The Third Aerial Girls Squad, inviting Ema and Shizuka to an amusement park to observe their reactions on a rollercoaster for inspiration. Following the successful premiere of The Third Aerial Girls Squad 's first episode, which is met with widespread public acclaim, Aoi receives complaints from Segawa, who requests that Hiraoka be taken off the episodes she is working on due to the lack of quality in both his key animators and his attitude. When Aoi relays this to Hiraoka, he becomes angry, stating that fussing over quality just makes his job harder. While trying to understand Hiraoka, Aoi hears from Erika about how his love and dedication for the anime industry caused him more pain when faced with the realities of the job, leading to his current attitude. Afterwards, Aoi speaks with Isokawa, who states that an important factor in balancing quality and schedules is for the production team to communicate with the creators about the best way to proceed. Hearing this, Aoi decides to have Hiraoka continue working on the twelfth episode on the condition that he communicates more clearly with the other animators. Later that night, Aoi is invited by Watanabe to meet Masahiko Inami and Keiji Takekura, the president and chief production assistant of The Born, respectively, who had conducted Aoi's failed interview there. They both note that she has changed a lot since then, leading her to realize her own goal to do her best and make great anime. With the thirteenth episode's storyboards finished by Seiichi in record timing, Aoi assigns herself, Tsubaki, and Sara as the episode's production team.

As a physician, I admit to getting excited about new medicines. After all, they “fix” problems, “cure” disease — that’s why I became a doctor.
But is this really true? Do they always work great?
On reflecting a little more on this question, I realize that I know of no one who has never suffered a medication side effect. That is actually a pretty important fact: Every patient I have ever treated has, at some point in their lives, had a medication side effect of some sort. Thankfully, the vast majority of side effects are minor ones.
Of course, I include in “side effects” things like walletitis: the sudden sensation of nausea realizing the medication your doctor gave you is going to cost $100 a month.
Add the above to the more familiar “dry mouth, headache, dizziness” type of side effects, and you wouldn’t be blamed for thinking the cure may be worse than the disease.
Luckily, most family doctors realize this. Your primary care doctor probably prescribes generic medications for the most part, monitors blood levels when necessary, and tries to get you off medications through diet, exercise, quitting smoking and reducing sugar.
Well and good, but what to do when my patient comes in with a new, expensive medication I’ve only read about in the journals? Today was such a day.
Jim walked in after having had a near miss: He had a heart attack, and our team at Christiana Care took great care of him. He was helped in time and got a heart stent placed in one of his blood vessels. As he tried to recall the name of his new medicine, I wondered how much this was going to cost him.
After puzzling over the new drug names for a while, we eventually figured out the name. But Jim worried about ultimately not being able to afford it (for now, he had a month’s free supply). Also, no pharmacy except Christiana Care’s own carried it, at least for now, in our area. It reminded me that the best intended actions — the latest meds, the “best” treatment — are only good if the rest of the system is set up properly. At $7 a pill, this new medication potentially meant $2,500 a year. I could see a case of walletitis in this man’s future.
Intrigued, I called up his cardiologist, my colleague Dr. Henry Weiner. We discussed the results of the clinical trial that helped establish this new drug’s usefulness. I also asked him if he thought this new hotshot therapy would take the place of the pills we usually give — and if it was really worth the cost.
It’s always difficult to answer questions like this. But how we answer them as physicians is not nearly as important as how patients answer them. For that, they need their doctors’ best advice, information and even hearing “I’m not sure.” What’s right for one patient may not fit the circumstances of another.
As a physician who cares deeply about prevention, my job is to stop bad things from happening. But when they do, as they inevitably will, my role shifts to guiding best choices. Thanks to my colleagues at Christiana Care Health System and in the community, I’ve got lots of help, and that’s good news for my patients.

to Avoid Feeding Your Pet
or spoiled foods
toxins—toads, insects, spiders, snakes and scorpions
algae in ponds
plants and plant bulbs
and snail baits containing metaldehyde
examples of human medications that can be potentially lethal to pets,
even in small doses, include:
and mouse bait
pennies (due to high concentration of zinc)
tree water (may contain fertilizers and bacteria, which, if
ingested, can upset the stomach.
or tinsel (can become lodged in the intestines and cause intestinal
obstruction—most often occurs with kittens!)
Substances for Dogs and Cats
following substances are considered to be non-toxic, although they
may cause mild gastrointestinal upset in some animals:
most common poisons
is said to be sweet and animals like to eat it. But ingestion of
antifreeze can be fatal if untreated.
glycol is metabolised by the liver and travels in the bloodstream to
the kidneys, where it forms insoluble crystals. Once metabolism of
the ethylene glycol has reached a certain point, there is no way to
stop it. These crystals are insoluble, there is no way to remove them
from the body. They cause permanent damage to the kidney tissue,
which can ultimately lead to kidney failure.
animal that has ingested ethylene glycol must receive immediate
medical attention. Those caught in the act of drinking the antifreeze
have the best chance of survival because medical attention can be
signs of antifreeze poisoning are depression and lethargy. Animals
may seem groggy or drunk. The final stages of poisoning are
characterised by vomiting, oral and gastric ulcers, and renal
failure, followed by death. The initial signs can last from 1 to 6
hours and death may occur between 3 to 4 days.
antifreeze products that contain ethylene glycol have a fluorescent
dye added so they glow under a UV light. If antifreeze poisoning is
suspected, a quick and inexpensive way to determine if antifreeze was
ingested is to have your veterinarian shine the light on the muzzle,
paws, and under the tail of the animal. If antifreeze residue is
present, the hair will glow.
for ethylene glycol poisoning can be expensive and can require
extended hospitalisation. In addition, treatment is not always
successful if the product has been metabolised. For this reason,
prevention is essential. Regardless of what kind of antifreeze you
use, it is important to keep pets out of it. Watch for leaks in your
car and keep pets away from the area where antifreeze is stored. If
you drain your antifreeze, do not leave it in an open container
because animals will be attracted to it. Dispose of this waste
properly and keep empty and full antifreeze containers away from
dogs, who may be tempted to chew on them. Even people who do not have
pets should follow these rules to avoid accidentally poisoning wild
animals and pets belonging to other people.
are newer brands of antifreeze on the market that use propylene
glycol instead of ethylene glycol. Propylene glycol is commonly found
in such products as lotions, creams, and toothpaste and is not as
toxic as ethylene glycol. If at all possible, it is best to choose an
antifreeze that does not contain ethylene glycol.
and Snail Bait (Metaldehyde)
You know…certain products used for the control of slugs and snails
contain metaldehyde, which can potentially be very dangerous or even
lethal to pets?
on the amount ingested, these metaldehyde-containing baits can
rapidly produce clinical effects, from within a few minutes to a
couple of hours after ingestion. Signs can range from drooling,
vomiting, diarrhoea, panting and anxiety to in coordination,
increased heart rate, dilated pupils, seizures, central nervous
system depression, coma and death from respiratory failure.
owners should exercise extreme caution when using
metaldehyde-containing baits, taking steps to ensure that the product
is applied only to areas completely inaccessible to pets. Any unused
bait should be stored in a secure container and cabinet out of the
reach of pets. Alternatively, other less toxic formulations of snail
and slug bait could be considered, such as those containing ferric
slug pellets have a note on the packaging stating they are animal
friendly or animal repellent. This is because they contain
ingredients that do not taste nice so that pets will not eat them.
Please do not use these products without care as many pets will still
eat them regardless.
You Know… Avocado is not an advisable food to give to pets? Avocado
leaves, fruit, seeds and bark contain a toxic principle known as
Persin. The Guatemalan variety, which is the most common variety
found in stores, appears to be the most problematic.
you know…chocolate can be harmful or even deadly to pets?
on the form involved, chocolate can contain high amounts of fat and
caffeine-like substances known as methylxanthines. If ingested in
significant amounts, chocolate can potentially produce clinical
effects ranging from vomiting and diarrhoea to panting, excessive
thirst and urination, hyperactivity, abnormal heart rhythm, tremors,
seizures and even death in severe cases.
the darker the chocolate, the higher the potential for clinical
problems from methylxanthine poisoning. White chocolate has the
lowest methylxanthine content, while baking chocolate contains the
highest. As little as 20 ounces of milk chocolate, or only two ounces
of baking chocolate can cause serious problems in a 10-pound dog.
While white chocolate may not have the same potential as darker forms
to cause a methylxanthine poisoning, the high fat content of lighter
chocolates could still lead to vomiting and diarrhoea, as well as the
possible development of life-threatening pancreatitis, an
inflammatory condition of the pancreas.
You Know… Onions, garlic, chives and other species of the plant
genus Allium can be potentially toxic to pets?
species contain sulphur compounds known as disulphides, which if
ingested in large quantities can cause gastrointestinal irritation
and could even result in damage to red blood cells. While cats are
more sensitive to disulfides, dogs and other species of animals are
also susceptible to Allium poisoning if enough plant material is
peels, fruit and seeds of citrus plants such as lemons, oranges,
limes and grapefruits contain varying amounts of citric acid, limonin
and volatile oils that can cause gastrointestinal irritation such as
vomiting or diarrhoea if ingested. In some cases, exposures to high
concentrations of these substances (such as those found in certain
citrus-based cleaners) could possibly result in central nervous
system depression as well. The stems, leaves and seeds of apples,
cherries, peaches, apricots and certain other fruit trees contain
cyanogenic glycosides that have the potential to cause vomiting and
loss of appetite, and in severe cases weakness, in coordination,
difficulty in breathing, hyperventilation, shock, coma and even death
Ten Poisonous Plants
Members of the Lilium spp. are considered to be
highly toxic to cats. While the poisonous component has not yet been
identified, it is clear that with even ingestions of very small
amounts of the plant, severe kidney damage could result.
of Cannabis sativa by companion animals can result in
depression of the central nervous system and in coordination, as well
as vomiting, diarrhoea, drooling, increased heart rate, and even
seizures and coma.
All parts of
Cycas Revoluta are poisonous, but the seeds or “nuts”
contain the largest amount of toxin. The ingestion of just one or two
seeds can result in very serious effects, which include vomiting,

The aim of this systematic scoping review is to understand the structures and processes that influence education research activities in the UK. It provides insights into the academic debates on education research in universities, and addresses the effects of neoliberal reform, marketisation and competition on higher education (HE) and the identities and experiences of academics.
We conducted a systematic scoping review that spanned three decades (1990–2020) and sought to understand the formal and informal structures and processes that influenced education research as a discipline in HE in the UK. This study – the first review of the literature on this topic at this scale – complements previous mapping activities commissioned by the British Educational Research Association (BERA) (see Oancea, 2010; Whitty et al, 2012; Oancea & Mills, 2015). A separate, peer-reviewed article based on this research has also been published in Review of Education (Stentiford et al., 2021).

Food that is broken down or partially broken down enters into the digestive tract where it then encounters the immune system. The immune system must act quickly on the food particle and decide: Friend or Foe?
Food sensitivities develop as the immune system works on overdrive to protect the body from harmful invaders. If an attack is mounted, the immune system releases its chemical warfare called chemical mediators to help protect the body. Chemical mediators promote inflammation, which can potentially impact any area of the body and produce symptoms.

Though steroids have been banned in MLB since 1991, the league did not implement leaguewide PED testing until 2003. The lack of testing meant it was unlikely players using PEDs would get caught.
When did steroids become illegal in sports?
1990 The Anabolic Steroids Control Act is introduced by Congress. It classifies steroids as a schedule III controlled substance, for which trafficking is now a felony, not a misdemeanor. 1992 NFL defensive end Lyle Alzado dies of brain cancer on May 14.
Why are steroids banned in baseball?
After the BALCO scandal, which involved allegations that top baseball players had used illegal performance-enhancing drugs, Major League Baseball banned steroids.
What baseball players have been caught using steroids?
Players who were on major league rosters
|Marlon Byrd||Free agent||Tamoxifen|
|Melky Cabrera||San Francisco Giants||Testosterone|
|Bartolo Colón||Oakland Athletics||Testosterone|
|Yasmani Grandal||San Diego Padres||Testosterone|
Does the MLB test for steroids?
Steroids. Testing is administered via scientifically-validated urine test. Each Player shall be tested upon reporting to spring training. All Players will be selected for an additional unannounced urine specimen collection during the season on a randomly selected date.
What sport uses steroids the most?
1. Cycling (positive test results: 3.6 percent): Not only does cycling have the highest average level of doping findings in the Olympics, but the sport also has a track record of athletes following up vehement denials with tell-all confessions.
How long can you go to jail for steroids?
Simple possession of illicitly obtained anabolic steroids carries a maximum penalty of one year in prison and a minimum $1,000 fine if this is an individual’s first drug offense. The maximum penalty for trafficking is five years in prison and a fine of $250,000 if this is the individual’s first felony drug offense.
Why baseball players use steroids?
”Steroids make your hands faster in that they increase muscle in your forearms and pectorals and numerous muscle sets involved in hitting a baseball,” said Dr. … When the player does start his swing, the steroids are really put to work.
Are Greenies illegal?
Many owners, managers and reporters knew that some players were using “greenies” or “beans,” the common names for these stimulants in clubhouses. But a practice that was essentially winked at will no longer go unpunished now that Major League Baseball has rules banning the use of amphetamines.
How many MLB players have used steroids?
Mitchell’s 21-month investigation into the use of steroids in baseball. The report names 89 MLB players who are alleged to have used steroids, HGH or other performance-enhancing drugs and led to a February 2008 Congressional hearing on the matter, where several players testified under oath.
Did Bonds test positive steroids?
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) – A urine sample that baseball home run king Barry Bonds submitted in 2003 was positive for banned performance enhancing drugs, the former director of a University of California Lab said Tuesday in Bonds’ perjury trial.
How many MLB players have been suspended for steroids?
111 players have been suspended since baseball’s new steroids policy was implemented prior to the 2005 season. More than half (52 percent) have been pitchers. 38 minor league players were suspended after testing positive for performance-enhancing substances.
How much do steroids help baseball players?
In September, physicist Roger Tobin of Tufts University in Boston said steroids could help baseball players hit 50 percent more home runs by boosting their muscle mass by just 10 percent.
When was steroids invented?
Testosterone was first synthesized in Germany in 193515 and was used medically to treat depression. Professional athletes began misusing anabolic steroids during the 1954 Olympics, when Russian weightlifters were given testosterone.

A consumer report in March 2009 reveals that more than 90% of consumers feel more confident for the online shopping than for high street shopping when they search and purchase. Affiliate network LinkShare and research group Penn Schoen & Berland Associates delved into the effect of the recession on British consumer behaviours and interviewed consumers to find out how their online shopping patterns will change in 2009. A new genre of consumer, the Recession Shopper, has been thus named.
The survey indicates that 92% of respondents feel more confident for online information than sales people in-store. 81% of respondents do online research ‘most of the time’ before buying a product, and 78% of respondents think they do online research before purchasing is because they do not get enough information from TV advertisements to make a decision.
Recession Shoppers are consumers who turn from high street shopping to online shopping so as to resist increasing costs. They will not stop spending but will spend money more carefully. The South of England (comprising the South East, South West, London and the East of England) shows the strongest expected rise with 23% of consumers expecting to increase online shopping. The Midlands and Wales has the growth with 20% of consumers, and the North of England and Scotland gets the growth rise with 18% expecting to spend more online.
Among consumers’ sources to research and purchase, the most popular is price comparison engines, used by 75% of respondents, meaning that consumers are more cost-conscious. User reviews and professional review sites are respectively rated by 69% and 66% of respondents. Loyalty/reward sites and voucher sites are respectively used by 55% and 52% of respondents. While 43% of respondents say that they purchase after finding a relevant voucher, 26% of respondents say that they receive alert emails from voucher sites.
Overall, 31% of respondents will do more online shopping this year, and 58% of respondents will spend at least as much as they did last year.

DS1 Series DC Current Sensor
The DS1 Series Current Sensing Switch is designed to trip a solid-state contact when there is DC current through the sensor window. The current sensing switch can be used to interlock two operations for safety. When one load is energized, the contact will keep another from also energizing. The power supply voltage and the controlled circuit voltage can be derived from a single source or separate sources. The monitored circuit can be any DC voltage and any amount of current as long as the conductor will pass through the window. The monitored circuit is completely isolated from the control circuit. If there is 3/4 of one amp through the aperture, the output will change state.
COMPACT, ONE-PIECE DESIGN
- Fits in easily amongst motor starters and power supplies in crowded control panels.
- Safer than shunt/relay combinations.
UNIQUE POWER SUPPLY CONNECTION
- Sensor power and switched load share a common point making installation easy.
BUILT-IN MOUNTING FEET
- Simple, two-screw installation allows for secure mounting or attach to a DIN rail with the supplied adapters.

— -- Jessica Alba’s Honest Company is firing back at The Wall Street Journal after two studies commissioned by the newspaper reportedly determined that the brand's laundry detergent contains an ingredient that the company had claimed consumers should avoid.
The compound, called sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), is reportedly found in many common household products, including Procter & Gamble’s Crest toothpaste and Dawn dish detergent. Procter & Gamble says SLS “is safe…when used as directed.”
The Journal published an article this week, reporting that two independent lab tests found SLS in the detergent.
“Our findings support that there is a significant amount of sodium lauryl sulfate in Honest’s detergent,” Barbara Pavan, a chemist at Impact Analytical, told the paper.
The article also stated that another lab, Chemir, a division of EAG Inc., said its test for SLS found more than a "trace amount” in the company's product, according to Matthew Hynes, a chemist at Chemir who conducted the test.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), exposure to SLS may cause a cough or sore throat if inhaled; nausea, vomiting or diarrhea if ingested; and redness if exposed to skin or eyes.
The CDC also says “repeated or prolonged contact with skin may cause dermatitis,” or skin inflammation.
The company, which was founded by Alba and Christopher Gavigan in 2011, said it does not use the chemical in its detergent and is standing by its mission to offer products that are safe and eco-friendly.
“Despite providing The Wall Street Journal with substantial evidence to the contrary, they falsely claimed our laundry detergent contains Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS),” according to a statement provided to ABC News by Honest. “To set the record straight, we use Sodium Coco Sulfate (SCS) in our brand's laundry detergent because it is a gentler alternative that is less irritating and safer to use. Rigorous testing and analysis both by our internal research and development teams as well as further testing by external partners have confirmed this fact."
In response, Steve Severinghaus, director of communications for The Journal, told ABC News: “The journal’s report is accurate, fair and meets the journal’s established and trusted high standards. We took great care in preparing this story, relying on two tests with two different labs and numerous experts.”

Hello there! This year’s autumn palette to me is neutral grey with leather and dark cherry, burgundy touches. I find those combinations timeless and extremely elegant. some colors never go out of fashion and to me fashion is not about fanatically following trends but following my personal taste. It may sound a little bit pretentious but I am partly influenced by trends, although even the most indifferent person in the world, when it comes to fashion trends inevitably gets inspired by them.

Post by Jennifer M. Chacón, Professor of Law, University of California, Irvine School of Law. This post is the first installment of the Border Criminologies Themed Week on Migration, Criminal Law and Criminal Justice organised by Ana Aliverti.
In the 1990s, Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Maricopa County, Arizona, came to prominence on the national scene. Given recent political and legal developments, one might guess that he initially drew attention to himself through policies and practices aimed at targeting unauthorized migrants in his jurisdiction. In fact, in his early years as sheriff, Sheriff Arpaio wasn’t particularly concerned with the issue of unauthorized migration. Instead, he was known for his harsh approach toward those convicted of crimes. He became famous for his rough treatment of prisoners: his high-profile efforts to both reify gender hierarchy and exploit it by requiring male inmates to parade publically from one penal institution to another wearing pink underwear, his creation of tent prisons without air conditioning in a region that routinely has temperatures in excess of 40 degrees Celsius in the summer months, and his relentless efforts to cut the cost of food in jails by cutting out luxuries like salt, pepper, and―more recently―meat. He has proudly proclaimed himself ‘America’s toughest sheriff.’
The Lopez-Valenzuela case put to rest one attempt to legalize the differential treatment of unauthorized migrants in the criminal justice system, but this denial of cert doesn’t mean, as a practical matter, that immigration status is irrelevant in criminal proceedings in the US. A recent empirical study by Michael Light and others, published in October in the American Sociological Review, found that non-citizens are penalized more harshly than similarly-situated citizens in the US criminal justice system. Earlier work by Ingrid Eagly, published in the NYU Law Review in 2013, found that government agents in Maricopa County took immigration status into account in the criminal justice process in ways that designedly resulted in heavier punishments for noncitizens. In short, citizenship status definitely matters in the US criminal justice system.
The outcome of the Lopez-Valenzuela case is unlikely to impact significantly the broad range of practices―from bail denials to sentencing schemes―that generate the disparities uncovered in these recent scholarly accounts. More work is needed to fully document the specific mechanisms that generate disparate outcomes for citizens and noncitizens across the criminal justice system. This work should be accompanied by systematic efforts to explicate and test the justifications offered in support of the differential treatment of citizens and noncitizens. In future work, I hope to explore these themes by studying anti-trafficking laws, which are alienage-neutral on their face, yet may nevertheless be used to focus criminal justice resources on noncitizens. I also hope to use that case study to better understand how racial bias in the criminal justice system may intersect with and confound apparent citizenship bias.

A baseline is a model that is both simple to set up and has a reasonable chance of providing decent results. It gives you a lower bound on expected model performance.
Your choice of a simple baseline depends on the kind of data you are working with and the kind of task you are targeting.
You can look for external baselines such as business and engineering requirements, as well as published results from academic papers that tackle your problem domain.
You can also look for internal baselines using simple models and human performance.
There is a tradeoff between cost and quality when designing human baselines. More specialized domains require more skilled labelers, so you should find cases where the model performs worse and concentrate the data collection effort there.


BMW puts a lot of thought and effort into building bikes with a lot of active technology packed into them: ABS (Anti-lock Braking System), ASC (Automatic Stability Control), ESA (Electronic Suspension Adjustment), RDC (tire pressure monitoring), to name a few. While all these things can enhance your riding experience (and possibly save your life), they aren’t perfect.
The ESA system in particular is a point where improvements can be made. Like any factory suspension effort, quality must be balanced against overall cost. While the ESA system itself is high quality, the suspension bits it controls are typical middle-of-the-road OEM parts. Not horrible, mind you, not on a BMW, but they certainly leave room for improvement (as do all OEM suspension parts).
Unfortunately there has been a minor problem; the ESA system only works with the stock suspension parts…or does it?
Rick contacted me a few months ago about doing a review on a new system from Wilbers called WESA (Wilbers Electronic Suspension Adjustment). I said sure and in the typical rapid fashion (rapid as compared to the age of the earth) emails started flying like mad between me and Herman of Wheels and Wings, LLC.
Herman is the local Wilbers dealer and one of only two (at the time this goes to press) people in the USA authorized to not only sell the WESA system but also install it. More on Herman later though; for now let’s talk about the parts themselves.
Where to Buy Wilbers Electronic Suspension Accessory
The Wilbers Electronic Suspension Adjustment System
Within the BMW motorcycle riding community, Wilbers has made a name for itself by building some very high quality shocks and other suspension components. Ask any BMW rider which suspension bits he or she wants on their bike and Wilbers will probably be the brand you hear most often.
It only makes sense then that Wilbers would be the manufacturer to overcome the ESA issue and build a suspension set-up for ESA-equipped BMWs that not only performs better than stock but is also fully compatible with the BMW ESA electronics.
Before we get into how the Wilbers WESA system works, let’s look at what electronic suspension is in general. Using a button mounted on the left handlebar, the rider can change the suspension and damping characteristics of the front and rear shocks (struts is a more accurate term I guess).
There are three steps to this process (on the R 1200 GS): one step adjusts the dampening to suit the rider’s particular riding style (Sport, Normal, and Comfort).
The second step adjusts the actual suspension itself at the spring mount and base for pre-load for solo riding, two-up riding, solo with luggage, two-up with luggage. On the GS, step three takes it one notch further and adjusts ride height based on the terrain you are traveling.
Add all those adjustments together and those of us that get excited pressing little buttons (it’s a disease, I know) can spend more time adjusting than riding.
While the system works very well to adjust or compensate for prevailing conditions, the suspension bits themselves are where the standard BMW comes-up short. On the stock BMW system, there really isn’t that much difference between the Sport and Comfort settings. This means that the “Normal” setting might as well take a long vacation.
Also, like all OEM suspension parts, the spring rates are set for the median size rider and passenger and not for the actual rider and passenger. All the electronic adjustments in the world won’t make up for softer or harder than needed spring rates and under/over-damped shocks.
This is where Wilbers comes in.
Wilbers ESA Front and Rear Shock – Details
Wilbers builds their shock bodies from seamless formed piping that is heat treated and anodized. The top and bottom mounts are made from high-grade 7075 aircraft aluminum which is also anodized; this offers the best combination of light weight, strength, and durability.
I can attest to the light weight part, as I personally weighed a stock rear shock vs. a Wilbers shock, and a stock rear spring versus a Wilbers spring. This was done on a scale with TONS of cool little buttons to push!
The Wilbers shock itself weighed 2 pounds less but the Wilbers spring weighed 1 pound more; netting a loss of 1 pound over stock. The aluminum makes the difference in the weight loss of the Wilbers shock while the higher grade and beefier build of the Wilbers springs accounts for their weight gain.
Wilbers custom-builds their shocks to suit each individual rider based on information concerning the rider’s weight, load typically carried, passenger’s weight and other factors. Being the owner of a motorcycle with upgraded aftermarket suspension, I can tell you that having your suspension matched to you makes a huge difference.
One last bit of magic that Wilbers can offer are shorter-length shocks, which can lower the motorcycle while still retaining the functionality of the ESA system. For the BMW R 1200 GS, this comes in two flavors: 35mm lower and 65mm lower. Wilbers achieves this by cutting the stroke of the shock while maintaining the ride quality by using stiffer springs and modified dampers.

The BMW R 1200 GS With the Wilbers Electronic Suspension
I met with Herman Eshuis on a cold Florida morning (40 degrees is cold for these parts) to sample the Wilbers WESA set-up for myself. Herman has a 2009 R 1200 GS set-up with the 65mm lowering kit as a demo for interested customers to ride.
One of the first things you’ll notice about Herman, should you meet him, is that he is passionate about anything with a motor in it; car and motorcycle posters adorn the office walls while out in the hanger (he is based at an airport) you’ll find a few of his other business items sitting around — super-formance cars.
On this day he had two Shelby Cobra MK III fully licensed reproductions (not kits) of the original mid-60’s version sitting there; one for service and one awaiting completion for shipment to its new owner overseas. Herman is a man after my own heart when it comes to all things powerful and fast!
Knowing these things about Herman is important if for no other reason than that it shows his desire and commitment to motorsports. Herman was involved in the motorsports business for 15 years in the Netherlands before moving to Florida. As mentioned before, he is only one of two (at the time this is being written) Wilbers distributors that are authorized to sell AND install WESA components. I always try to deal with enthusiasts whenever possible and Herman is certainly an enthusiast.
While I don’t have a huge amount of seat time on the BMW R 1200 GS line, I have had enough to learn two important things about the bike:
I don’t like the stock R 1200 GS seat. If I wanted to sit on concrete I’d just plop down on the sidewalk.
The stock BMW suspension has a tendency to feel like someone put dirtbike shocks on a 500 pound motorcycle; floating and wallowing over bumps isn’t my cup of tea.
But after riding the Wilbers WESA-equipped demo bike, I’ve come to the following conclusion:
The Wilbers suspension does absolutely nothing in regards to the comfort of the seat.
The Wilbers suspension does make the bike feel more like a motorcycle and less like a parade float.
Being a moto-journalist isn’t all glamour, champagne, and starlets. In reality being a moto-journalist sometimes involves riding on cold days in search of some of the roughest roads possible.
Once those roads are found you have to ride them back and forth, judging, evaluating, and constantly thinking about things like “How does this setting feel? Or this one? Is there a quantifiable difference between the two? What do I feel like having for lunch? Is it getting colder? Will the muon-to-electron conversion experiment (MECO) actually come to pass and will it find lepton flavor violations?”
What? You mean don’t think about things like that while riding?
Ride Report: Wilbers Electronic Suspension
After multiple passes up and down the same stretch of rough road and a satisfying lunch I was ready to put my thoughts about the WESA system in some sort of order. Quite simply, it works and it works well.
The ride is controlled over every type of surface irregularity I could find. Whether it was a hard-edged bump or a dip, the Wilbers suspension was well damped and never exhibited the sometimes abrupt rebound tendencies of the stock BMW suspension.
Single Rider – Comfort Mode: Riding with the suspension set-up for “single rider, comfort” seems to slow down the suspension action to give the rider the softest ride possible. The best way to explain it would be to think about the suspension operating in slow-motion thereby offering a controlled yet smooth ride.
Pushing the bike hard into corners on this setting gives the big Beemer a softer than ideal feeling during mid-corner bumps due to the slower response time of the damping and bound/rebound; definitely the setting of choice though for those long distance highway rides. Luckily, suspension settings more in tune with sport riding are but a button push away.
Single Rider – Normal Mode: Switching over to “single rider, normal” allows a little more feel to be transmitted through the bars and seat without feeling harsh. This setting also allows you to tackle twisty roads at a decent pace without feeling like you are tying the suspension up in knots. I actually found myself using this mode more than any other simply because the damping worked well enough in corners (at a sane pace) without sacrificing very much in the way of rough surface damping.
Single Rider – Sport Mode:Final damping setting in the “single rider” category is the “sport” mode. Once again the Wilbers shocks serve up a well-damped ride albeit one that transmits a noticeable amount of road surface information to the rider.
In “sport” mode there is less squat under acceleration and less dive under braking (not that there is much to begin with). While the bumps and dips on the road are still well-damped, you can feel the suspension reacting to them and compensating for them in this mode.
Feedback on road surface conditions, braking, and traction limits increases while overall ride smoothness decreases. This certainly is a “sport” setting and the ride quality is much closer to “sport bike” than it is to “adventure bike”.
No matter which master setting I put the bike in, “single-rider”, “dual-rider”, “w/luggage”, etc., the three damping settings worked exactly the same. The only difference was a little harsher ride as the pre-load was adjusted to compensate for weight that wasn’t there.

Off-Road Mode: Changing the mode into the “off-road” settings showed pretty much the same results. Even with the bike raised up into its “mountain” mode, the ride differences between the three damping settings was consistent; “comfort” = soft but controlled ride, “normal” = controlled ride with better feedback, and “sport” = least amount of squat and dive and most amount of feedback.
While I didn’t have the opportunity to do any real off-road work with the bike I was able to put it into “mountain” mode and then and run up and down a dirt road that had swales and ridges in it from rain and traffic.
On this dirt road, when in “comfort” mode and being ridden at about 30 mph, the Wilbers suspension reacted as I expected; after a few good bumps and dips the suspension seemed to start lagging behind.
Rebound was just a little too slow to keep up with the constant up and down motion. When ridden at 20mph or slower, the “comfort” setting was spot on. Placing the suspension into “normal” mode gave a well controlled ride at 20mph and below and quickened the rebound settings enough to handle the road at 30mph.
Putting the suspension into “sport” mode made the ride above 30mph smoother but only if I rode the bike “over” the dips and bumps and not “through” them. Below 30mph the “sport” setting in “mountain” mode, while still being controlled, was a bit too rough for my tastes.
One nice side-effect of the 65 mm lowered WESA kit from Wilbers is in the slow speed handling department. Because of the lower center of gravity, the usually top-heavy BMW felt much lighter and was more nimble during slow speed turns.
One thing to keep in mind about the lowered suspension is that even though in the normal modes you may be able to touch the ground comfortably, putting the bike into the off-road modes raises it up an appreciable amount; I’d guess somewhere in the 30 mm range.
I actually showed a vertically challenged friend of mine the system and while he could touch down with the balls of both feet comfortably in the normal modes, he was on the very tips of his toes when in the tallest off-road mode. You should have seen his eyes as he asked me if the bike would be getting any taller. Priceless.
A good suspension makes all the difference in the world on a motorcycle but if replacing the stock suspension removes some functionality of the bike, what is the point?
With the Wilbers’ WESA you get to keep all the button pushing fun associated with BMW’s ESA system combined with the class leading technology and ride/handling improvements Wilbers is known for; all for a reasonable price of $1,349.00 plus shipping (more if you want Herman to install them on your bike). You’ll even get to keep your original shocks in case you want to reinstall them to sell the bike.
You can learn more about the WESA system at HermanUSA.com. More on Wilbers Shocks and suspension parts on the Wilbers website, along with a worldwide list of authorized installers.
As a last bit of information, Werner Koch and Benny Wilbers wrote a book titled “Motorcycle Suspension Technology in Detail” which you can also get directly from HermanUSA.com.
I was given a copy of the book which everything from how suspension works to why it sometimes doesn’t, how to optimize your forks, frames and swing arms, how the chain drive impacts suspension, to tire technology.
It also covers ways to safely lower your motorcycle and tips and tricks to setting-up your suspension for track duty. It is an incredibly detailed book that covers not only Wilbers suspension but suspension in general.
I highly recommend this for anyone who works on their own bike or who just wants a more in depth knowledge of how bike suspension works. The book retails for $25 and can also be found at HermanUSA.com.
Editor’s Note: Herman is also the North American distributor for the Acebikes Steady Stand front wheel chock we reviewed.
“It only makes sense then that Wilbers would be the manufacturer to overcome the ESA issue”
WorksPerformance has been moving the ESA controls to their shocks for well over a year now, and Hyperpro also has an ESA solution available. I believe Ohlins also has a solution in the works or available.
I found it rather odd that the *exact* same article, with photos by the shock vendor is to be found (on the 2WF.com website).
It’s also not made clear in either article – but it appears that Wilbers is doing the same as Works and Hyperpro – moving the ESA control units from the BMW shocks to their own shocks. It doesn’t appear that Wilbers actually makes their own ESA control units.
This might be useful info for people, since it does mean that the original factory shocks are rendered useless when the control units are moved to the aftermarket shock. Ditto for the Wilbers shock if the control units are moved back to the factory shock if the factory shock is replaced on the bike when it’s sold.
I also have to assume the Wilbers shocks do loose the high/low speed compression damping adjustments they have on their normal shocks?
Other than that – it’s an interesting article.”
Editor’s Reply: Yes, 2WF.com and webBikeWorld.com are co-publishing motorcycle reviews, as we noted when this project started a couple of months ago. This was announced on December 1, 2009 on our Motorcyle Reviews index page.
Co-publishing gives us both a wider readership and lets 2WF.com use the number of visitor stats from the larger webBikeWorld audience of 10 million per year to “convince” the manufacturers to lend them more bikes to test. Then we both get the benefit of having more interesting bike test articles to publish.
By the way, Kenn Stamp, the 2WF.com Editor and the author of the article (as noted in the masthead at the beginning of the article) only had about 1/2 day with the bike, so it was difficult to conduct a full review, thus the article is rather light on details compared to both the webBikeWorld.com and 2WF.com normal reviews.
Herman Eshuis Responds: “Wilbers is building a total new shock with settings at customer weights and with the base spring also calculated to the weight of the customer.
Inside the Wilbers shock is a combined needle which changes rebound and compression once you change your setting, that’s why it drives so much better than the stock suspension from BMW! You’re right, no separate high / low speed compression adjustment, it’s all internal adjusted.
Another advantage is that Wilbers is offering 2 lowering options with complete shock bodies and not only a shorter spring.
And indeed we then are mounting the BMW controls to the Wilbers shock, this leaves you with a complete set of original BMW shocks, which you can keep as a spare set or do whatever you want to do with it.
Wilbers does NOT make their own ESA control unit !! As far as I know ( but I need to check with Mr. Wilbers ) Hyperpro is only making a electric control box with extra settings. No new shocks !!
We do not know the quality of the Works system and how they are fine tuning the suspension, we know that they offer a ESA conversion too.”

It is a historical and church monument that gives in every pilgrim visitor an unprecedented unique image in which silently but also “eloquently” reveals and narrates the time and the history of Four Saints Martyrs. Saints Georgios, Aggelis, Manouil and Nikolaos were born and live in Melambes and executed by Turks at Rethymno in 1824 whereas refused to change their religion, and become Mohammedan from Christians.
According to tradition, here it was the house of Saint George. The buildings with the assembled stones, the great arch, the narrow alley that passes through the place, discreet with old objects decoration, the basil and the flowers that decorate small flower beds together with Psiloritis horizon in landscape depth, all together and each one create a wonderful result that exudes unusual calm and rare tranquility.
A serenity that causes you spiritual uplift, fluttering your soul over the visible and brings you in bygone time, so you can imagine and meet people that lived in past in these houses of neighborhood , discuss with them old, different but great issues of the past. Visitors during their stay to the point, feel the eyes of Saints on them just like in another dimension, begging to travel from yesterday to today with a view to eternity!
Let them be help and brace for all of us.
Melabes is a village with a rich but recent and older history. God generously gave to this place unparalleled natural beauty, amazing view, and especially friendly people and created a little paradise here in South Crete.

Topeka Legislators sent Gov. Kathleen Sebelius health care legislation that supporters say provides greater access to health care for many Kansans and saves them money on insurance.
But Sebelius doesn't think it goes far enough.
The House passed the bill Saturday, 104-16. It then cleared the Senate on a 34-1 vote, with Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley casting the lone dissenting vote.
The Kansas Health Policy Authority offered a 21-point plan that called for phasing in a $300 million increase in health care spending over five years and helping to pay for it with a 50-cent increase in the tax on a pack of cigarettes. It also called for a statewide smoking ban.
Neither the tax hike nor the smoking ban got anywhere. The bill Sebelius got was a far cry from the authority's proposal, which she endorsed.
"It's been kind of a downhill conversation of trying to do something under the title of health reform but not moving any substantive legislation," she told reporters.
She added: "We're down to a campaign card that said, 'I voted for health reform in 2008.' Hopefully no one will ask them what it does for them."
Even though she had hoped for more, Sebelius said the bill "probably makes a couple of steps forward."
Rep. Brenda Landwehr, the House's chief negotiator, said the bill makes some improvements in health care. She estimated it would increase spending on health care programs by about $6 million.
"Prevention promotes healthier people, which saves money," said the Wichita Republican. "You can't get everything overnight."
Rep. Jeff Colyer, a surgeon, said the authority's recommendations did nothing to make health care more affordable.
"We made sure the most important health reform is to make health insurance cheaper and allow Kansans to keep their insurance when they get sick or lose their job," said the Overland Park Republican.
Hensley, a Topeka Democrat, characterized the bill as "a list of hollow promises."
Some legislators worried there won't be enough money to pay for what's included in the compromise. Senate Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dwayne Umbarger, a Thayer Republican, said there will be, although the spending will cut into the state's cash reserves.
The compromise also expanded state-paid medical coverage for children changing eligibility requirements from a household income of $42,400 for a family of four to $53,000. Medicaid coverage for pregnant women would go from those with a maximum income of about $15,000 to around $21,000 and provide dental coverage for them.
It also expands cancer screenings at rural health clinics or safety net clinics that treat people without health insurance.
The compromise also repeals a law enacted last year to provide state aid for poor families. Children in such families are covered by the state, but many of their parents aren't.
Some lawmakers didn't realize the program would cost $111 million a year when fully phased in by 2013.
Supporters said the trade-off was expanding the coverage for children.
A key provision requires employers to offer workers leaving their jobs 18 months of coverage if the workers pick up the entire report. Because of state law, thousands of workers lose that coverage after six months.
Many Kansans will be able to save from 15 percent to 40 percent on their health insurance costs with a tax deduction added by the bill.
Sen. Roger Reitz, a physician, said improving health care means spending more money.
"People think we can do this," said the Manhattan Republican, "by grinding out the dollars in the basement."

DETROIT (CBSDFW.COM) - The Detroit Free Press reports that fashion designer Clement Brown of the Three Thirteen shop is trying to block Eminem's trademark request for his apparel line, E13. Brown has held a trademark for his Three Thirteen brand since 2010, and the rapper born Marshall Mathers filed his pending request last year.
Eminem's clothing line logo turns the "E'' backward so it appears as the number three, creating the visual effect of Detroit's area code, 313.
Brown says the battle over hometown intellectual property claims isn't personal and that he respects Eminem. But he says it's "imperative that we have ownership of our creations."
Eminem's attorney, Barbara Friedman, says the rapper will defend his trademark request.
